AL SALAM ALIKUM BROTHERS! ❤️ Ramadan Mubarak and Kareem for you all Muslims guys❤️ May God accept our fasting during the month of Ramadan and make it a good month. O Lord, complete Ramadan with us and you are satisfied with us and forgive us our sins. Oh God, make our affairs easy for us in the name of the month of generosity and worship, the month of Ramadan. O Lord, may we have Ramadan while we feel safe and secure, full of love and peace, O God, Amen. Our Lord, help us to fast the month of Ramadan and make us able to fast its day and pray its nights. O Lord, make Ramadan fasting a blessing for You, O Generous One. O Lord, grant us Ramadan, grant us peace, and receive it from us, accepting our fasting. Amen Ya Allah! ❤️ [ ] Translate: The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. What's Ramadan? The holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is marked by self-reflection, spiritual devotion, abstinence, and charity for Muslims across the world. Fasting from dawn to sunset is among the Pillars of Islam and one of the principal deeds performed during this auspicious month. Once the sun sets, the fast is broken with Iftar. In addition to refraining from food, drink, sexual relations, and tobacco, Muslims also recite Ramadan prayers throughout the month. This includes the usual namaaz offered five times a day, along with other prayers specifically offered during this month. Ramadan is an incredibly special month for Muslims across the world. They often prepare for it by stringing lights around mosques and decorating their homes. Readying themselves for Ramadan also often involves spiritual and mental preparation to be a better person and a pious Muslim. What Ramadan Prayers Entail? During the month of Ramadan when Muslims fast, everything they do is considered an act of worship, including sleeping. This is because Muslims abstain from eating, drinking water, sexual pleasure, and tobacco. They are also expected to refrain from sinful activities. Therefore, every action they perform outside of these is considered pure, holy, and an effort to seek the blessings of Allah. Muslims begin the day with sihoor whereby they have a meal before dawn to tide them over through the day. Once the sun rises, they must go about practicing patience and “sabr”, repenting for their sins and seeking Allah’s blessing throughout. The constant consciousness of hunger, thirst, and abstinence is a way of purification while becoming more grateful for water and food. Ramadan prayers thus go beyond the traditional prayers or namaaz that are offered five times a day. It is believed that the gates of Paradise are opened during Ramadan while the gates of hell are locked shut and the devil is chained. Muslims thus perform good deeds in a bid to earn the grace and blessings of Allah and enter the gates of Paradise. This involves offering charity as part of their worship. Furthermore, Muslims read the Qur’an and pray duas throughout the month while performing Tarawih. Tarawih refers to nightly prayers or Sunnah which entails reading long portions of the Qur’an in a group setting. The goal is to recite the entire scripture by the end of the 30-day period. Though Tarawih is optional, Muslims across the world come together for it as it is believed that the reward for those who read Tarawih is immense. Sharing iftar is also considered a way to earn the dua of other Muslims, thereby receiving Allah’s favor and blessing. Muslims thus have iftar together and share meals with each other during the month. They often host iftars in their homes where they invite and feed guests. The Importance of Prayer Ramadan prayers offer an opportunity to deepen one’s connection with Allah and seek forgiveness for sins. Muslims believe that performing prayers during Ramadan earns them greater rewards than at any other time of the year. Tarawih prayers also enhance their understanding and appreciation of the Qur’an. Reciting and listening to it helps them reflect on the Qura’an’s message, thereby deepening their faith and cleansing their souls. Abstinence during Ramadan is an opportunity for renewal and growth as individuals can focus on enriching their souls and repenting for their sins. It reduces the distraction of having to plan, prep, and cook three meals daily. This offers Muslims the opportunity to appreciate every morsel they consume at the end of the day. Sharing iftar together also helps build the community, providing Muslims with a sense of belonging that deepens their faith while strengthening their social bonds. Furthermore, Ramadan prayers are good for health as prayers are found to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression by providing individuals with a sense of emotional comfort and routine. Muslims also connect with themselves and each other better when they congregate for Ramadan prayers. The physical act of engaging in Ramadan prayers can also help maintain fitness and mobility. The various movements in namaaz and Tarawih involve bowing, bending, prostrating, and standing straight which can increase blood flow and improve posture. Prayers thus offer physical, emotional, and mental benefits as they require movement and reduce stress while offering a sense of community and tranquility. Performing and Respecting Ramadan Prayers Ramadan is the holiest month of the year so performing and respecting Ramadan prayers are extremely important for Muslims across the globe. If you’re unfamiliar with these practices, here are some tips to help you: Start slow – Ramadan can be tiring if you’re not accustomed to it, so give your mind, body, and soul a chance to slowly catch up. Start with a small number of rakats during Tarawih, then gradually increase them as you become more comfortable. Maintain focus – the main focus of Ramadan is to seek Allah’s blessings and forgiveness by performing prayers and good deeds while repenting for your sins. Maintain your focus on these aspects and try to reduce distractions when you are praying or reciting the Qur’an so you can fully immerse yourself in the practice. Plan ahead – attending Tarawih can be difficult if you don’t plan ahead. So, create your schedule around Tarawih and namaaz so you can make the most of this auspicious month. The key to Ramadan prayers is to treat it as a spiritual, meditative practice and go at your own pace until you can reach your goal. Pray and recite the Qur’an to the best of your abilities but don’t forget to extend compassion to yourself and everyone around you. Final Thoughts Ramadan is a month of abstinence, devotion, prayer, and spirituality. Religion and faith are extremely personal so it is important to deepen your connection with Allah in a way that soothes your soul. While it only lasts for one month, the lessons you learn while focusing your energy towards namaaz and Qur’an can be a transformative experience. It can help you lead a more healthy and fulfilling life too! Ramadan Kareem! Ramadan Mubarak again guys!

Audi is updating the Q4 e-tron partway through the 2024 model year, with the new Q4 55 e-tron model about to replace the Q4 50 e-tron in April. The 55 model now produces 335 horsepower, 40 more than before, via a revised permanently excited synchronous motor on the rear axle. The motor also improves efficiency, allowing the 77.0-kWh battery to propel the Q4 55 e-tron for 258 miles before running out of juice, a 22-mile bump. You won't be able to tell from just looking at it, but the Audi Q4 e-tron luxury electric SUV is undergoing substantial revisions for 2024. During the model year, the Q4 50 e-tron—the more powerful all-wheel-drive variant—will see its name changed to the Q4 55 e-tron as it gains 22 miles of driving range, a tweaked suspension, and a rear electric motor with extra oomph. The updates apply to both the traditional SUV-shaped Q4 e-tron as well as the sloped-roof Sportback. Audi had previously revealed changes to the Q4 e-tron for Europe, but has now confirmed similar updates for the U.S. market. The updated 2024 Q4 55 e-tron now makes 335 horsepower thanks to a beefed-up permanently excited synchronous motor on the rear axle. That's an increase of 40 ponies over the outgoing Q4 50 e-tron, with no changes to the asynchronous front-mounted motor. Audi claims the extra muscle shaves 0.8 second off the time to 60 mph, putting the figure at a claimed 5.0 seconds. Considering we tested the Q4 50 e-tron at 5.6 seconds, the upgraded model may drop into the 4.0-second range once we get our hands on one. The new motor is also more efficient, so while the Q4 55 e-tron's 77.0-kWh battery doesn't change in size, the EPA-estimated range is up by 22 miles to a total of 258 miles. The efficiency benefit comes from improved thermal management, thanks to revised geometry and arrangement of the gear wheels in the transmission as well as a water-cooling jacket on the outside of the motor's stator. Audi has also optimized the cell chemistry, which allows the maximum DC fast-charging capability to rise from 150 kW to 175 kW. Audi says the Q4 55 e-tron can now go from 10 to 80 percent in as little as 28 minutes. The route planner will also prioritize public DC fast-charging stations and will precondition the battery before you arrive, as well as now post-conditioning the battery by cooling it if the temperature exceeds a certain level during driving or charging. The Q4 55 e-tron also gains new suspension tuning and improved steering, which Audi says brings more "harmonious damping, improved steering response, and tighter load control." A new 21-inch wheel is also offered, which comes shod in 235/45 front and 255/40 rear all-season tires. The revised Q4 55 e-tron is due to reach U.S. dealerships by April, and surprisingly the upgraded equipment doesn't bring an increase in price. The Q4 55 e-tron will start at $56, 395 for the standard SUV body and $59,395 for the Sportback model, the same as the outgoing Q4 50 e-tron models. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60140129/2024-audi-q4-e-tron-updated/

Anthony Joshua returns calmly to his corner after knocking out Francis N'Gannou in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Photograph: Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing/Getty Images The sudden end was as shocking as it was predictable. Francis Ngannou, a very good heavyweight champion in the contrasting world of mixed martial arts, walked slowly and unsteadily towards Anthony Joshua. He had already been knocked down twice before in only his second bout as a professional boxer. Joshua, an Olympic gold medallist and a two-time former heavyweight champion of the world, stepped forward to close the show. He knocked out the reeling novice with a cold and ruthless finish. In the early hours of Saturday morning in Riyadh it was totally expected and yet still strangely alarming. Joshua had so much time he could plant his feet, take aim and unleash a ferocious overhand right that stuck Ngannou so forcefully on his temple that he began slipping into unconsciousness as he slumped to the canvas. Within seconds, he was stretched flat on his back. The referee, waving his left arm frantically to signal the fight was over in the second round, ran to his rescue. Boxing thrives on such graphic violence which means that, even for those of us who somehow still love the courage, resolve and skill of its fighters, it is ultimately a bleak and often distressing business. Joshua, who has also been stopped shockingly by Andy Ruiz Jr and dismantled twice by Oleksandr Usyk, understands these harsh truths. He did not roar or celebrate Ngannou’s demise by climbing the ropes. Instead, Joshua looked away from his stricken opponent and walked quietly across to his new trainer, Ben Davison, who tapped his glove in acknowledgment of a brutal job done well. They were right not to indulge in jubilation. Joshua did his work with clinical efficiency while showing some of the spite that all great heavyweights carry inside. Mike Tyson used to produce these stoical reactions better than any other fighter. After he had obliterated yet another hapless opponent, Tyson would trudge around the ring with a contemptuous lack of surprise. A sombre expression reflected his certainty that the outcome had always been obvious. It was chilling and intimidating and built the myth of Iron Mike. But Tyson was lost in a dark maze. He eventually unravelled outside the ring and between the ropes. Joshua, a student of heavyweight boxing, has immersed himself in these compelling yet quietly tragic stories – and lived through the pain of his own defeats. Joshua also knew, as long as he prepared hard and fought with calm intent, he would blow Ngannou away. He has been boxing professionally for 10 years and 10 months, while it is just over four months since Ngannou’s pro debut. Boxing logic had been skewed on that surreal night last October when, in his first fight as a boxer, Ngannou stunned Tyson Fury by dropping him in the third round. Fury got up and shaded a split-decision victory. Ngannou performed admirably and yet Fury had been lethargic and bereft of his usual cascade of trickery. A stunned Francis Ngannou reacts after being knocked down by Anthony Joshua. Photograph: Richard Pelham/Getty Images It turned out to be a mirage as Joshua crushed Ngannou in the desert of Saudi Arabia. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, resorted to the exaggeration that Joshua shunned. “You’re looking at the baddest man on the planet,” Hearn said, stealing one of Tyson’s old nicknames as he pointed to Joshua. “He’s the best heavyweight in the world, and I can’t wait for him to beat Tyson Fury.” Hearn’s statement was almost as absurd as the very idea of these crossover fights. Fury, of all people, spoke with composed good sense as he responded to Hearn’s bombast: “I’m sure Oleksandr Usyk will have something to say about that, considering that he beat [Joshua] twice. It’s me and Usyk who fight for the No 1 and No 2 positions and the undisputed championship of the world [in May]. I had a shit performance against Ngannou. I’ve never said anything different. Joshua knocked him out and that’s what a boxer should’ve done.” Usyk holds the IBF, WBA and WBO world heavyweight titles, while Fury retains his WBC belt. Their compelling bout is the real deal and should confirm boxing’s first undisputed world heavyweight champion of the 21st century. The last man to claim that exalted status, in 1999, was Lennox Lewis, another great fighter who added to the ruin of Tyson. It has been a week in which Joshua restored some order and clarity to boxing – by underlining the dangerous folly of such crossover bouts. They should not be allowed because lasting damage may yet happen. Of course, as this is boxing, a grim announcement was made the day before Joshua faced Ngannou. On 20 July, Jake Paul, the YouTube influencer turned professional boxer, will fight Tyson in “a blockbuster exhibition” at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It is predicted that the stunt of a bout, to be streamed live on Netflix, will draw a crowd of 80,000 and generate more than $100m. Tyson will have just turned 58. Hearn, who has promoted YouTube scraps before, described the news as “very sad. It’s a big event but that particular fight, for real lovers of the sport, is sad to see.” For all the hard-edged realism Joshua doled out just before 3.30am on Saturday morning, the madhouse of boxing roars on. But, at the dead of night, we were reminded that only real boxers should occupy such perilous terrain. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/mar/09/boxing-anthony-joshua-francis-ngannou-danger-crossover-bouts

Thomasina Miers’ leek, spinach and sheep’s cheese pie with rosemary garlic cream. Photograph: Ola O Smit/The Guardian. Food styling: Sam Dixon. Prop styling: Anna Wilkins. Food styling assistant: Kristine Jakobssen. As my eldest daughter approaches teendom, I am realising the full gamut of motherhood. Among other things, she, as I did before her, approaches her mum’s belongings as if they were her own, and as a result I am increasingly appreciating my own mother’s patience and unconditional love. I think little says love more than a pie, and I am hoping that this simple but delicious one will do the trick. Leek, spinach and sheep’s cheese pie with rosemary garlic cream (pictured top) A good pie manages to feel indulgent, comforting and nourishing all at once. Prep 20 min Cook 45 min Serves 6 2 medium leeks 440g spinach leaves 550g potatoes, peeled and cut into 2½cm dice 40g butter 1 tbsp olive oil ¼ nutmeg, grated 1 small bunch fresh thyme 120g hard sheep or goat’s cheese Juice of 1 lemon 500g puff pastry 1 egg, beaten For the poached garlic cream 250ml milk 1 head garlic, broken into cloves 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked 200g double cream Top and tail the leeks, cut them in half lengthways and wash them thoroughly under the cold tap. Wash the spinach, too, then leave it in a colander to drain. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, simmer for 10-12 minutes, until tender, then drain. While the potatoes are cooking, make the garlic cream. Put the milk, garlic and rosemary leaves in a small pan and heat until the milk quivers. Leave the garlic to poach gently for 15-20 minutes, until the cloves are tender, then peel (the skins should slip off easily) and set aside to cool in the milk. Once cooled, add the cream, then blitz smooth. Cut the leeks into half-rounds. Melt the butter in a casserole or large wok on a medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, leeks and thyme, and season generously with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and fry gently for 10-12 minutes, until the leeks begin to soften. Stir in the spinach, cook for a further five minutes, until wilted, then stir the drained potatoes into the leek mix. Pour the garlic cream into the pan, add the cheese and lemon juice, then season to taste. Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6, and tip the mixture into a baking dish. Roll out the puff pastry to cover the dish, lay it on top of the filling and crimp around the edges. Brush the beaten egg all over the pastry, then bake for 30-35 minutes, until the pie is golden and puffed up, and smells tantalisingly good. Serve hot with a green salad, or with the wild rice and cauliflower salad below. Wild rice and cauliflower salad with turmeric and honey-fried almond dressing Thomasina Miers’ wild rice and cauliflower salad. Prep 15 min Cook 20 min Serves 6 200g wild rice 70g raisins 250g cauliflower, finely chopped 200g carrot, coarsely grated 450g red cabbage, cored, finely sliced and chopped 3 radishes, finely sliced 120g cooked green lentils 1 handful mint leaves, roughly chopped 1 handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped For the almond dressing 60ml sunflower oil 100g blanched almonds 1½ tsp runny honey 1 tsp turmeric Salt and black pepper 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped Juice and zest of 1 lime 90ml extra-virgin olive oil Cook the rice in salted boiling water, turn off the heat five minutes before the end of the recommended cooking time, cover with a lid and set aside. To make the dressing, put the sunflower oil in a small frying pan on a low heat, add the almonds, half the honey and half the turmeric, season generously and cook, stirring, for seven to eight minutes, until the almonds turn a bewitching, pale gold colour. Lift them out with a slotted spoon, put on a saucer and set aside. Add the raisins to the pan of hot oil, heat gently until they puff up into balls, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a second saucer. Add the onions to the oil, season generously and cook until golden. Once the rice is tender, drain it of any remaining liquid (most of it will have steamed away in the pan) and put in a bowl with all the other salad ingredients except the almonds and onions. Roughly chop the almonds. Tip the onions and their cooking oil into a jug, then whisk in the rest of the honey and turmeric, the olive oil, lime zest and juice. Season generously, then use to dress the salad – the rice and lentils will absorb the dressing. Taste again, adjust the seasoning, decorate the salad with the chopped almonds and serve at once. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/mar/09/leek-spinach-sheeps-cheese-pie-cauliflower-side-salad-recipe-thomasina-miers

Messi, who plays assistance dog Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall. Photograph: Amanda Edwards/Getty Images Canine film stars battle it out in doggy Oscars: will Messi the collie get teeth into top Fido award? Anatomy of a Fall’s Snoop sheepdog faces competition from Barbie’s labrador and Napoleon’s pomeranian James Tapper Sat 9 Mar 2024 14.46 GMT Share In the panoply of awards ceremonies set for this weekend, the Fidos may well be the “best in show”. The doggy Oscars, or the showbiz Crufts – take your pick – take place on Sunday evening in a star- and collar-studded event that concludes on the same day as both of its more established rivals. The battle for the coveted Best in World award – an embossed collar – for the greatest on-screen dog performance is expected to be fierce, but the favourite is Messi the border collie who played Snoop in Anatomy of a Fall. He faces competition from Barbie’s incontinent labrador, Josephine’s pomeranian in Napoleon and dogs owned by Tilda Swinton and Sandra Hüller. The Fidos were founded by film journalist Toby Rose in 2007, and in a sign of the growing seriousness with which the world of showbiz takes animal co-stars, the awards are being held for the first time at the British Film Institute. There are even indications that some of the lavish campaigning that has become a hallmark of the Oscars is starting to spill over into the Fidos. In February, Messi’s bid for the top award received a huge boost when he was flown to Los Angeles from his French home to mingle with Hollywood’s glitterati. He had lunch with Bradley Cooper and Billie Eilish, plaudits from Emma Stone and an encounter with Ryan Gosling that went viral online. Messi’s film role, as assistance dog to a visually impaired boy who is the only witness to his father’s death, includes a scene when the dog almost dies. At one point Messi reprised his performance so realistically that Gosling rushed over to help. Vanessa Kirby as Josephine in Napoleon, with her dog Fortuné. Photograph: Alamy Still, the route to Fidos success is no walk in the park – the judges are considering other strong performances, including Lola the mongrel’s central role as Marra in Ken Loach’s The Old Oak and Tilda Swinton’s springer spaniel Louis, who starred with his owner in The Eternal Daughter. Of the other five categories, Historical Hound is one to watch for the dogs playing Honey, Elvis Presley’s own hound dog in Priscilla, and Fortuné, the empress Josephine’s pomeranian in Napoleon. Hüller’s own weimeraner is another nominee, as Dilla in The Zone of Interest. Meanwhile the Comedy Canine collar may well go to Reggie, the border terrier voiced by Will Ferrell in Strays and later adopted by director Josh Greenbaum, although none of the other dogs in the film, about four mutts taking revenge on an abusive owner, managed a nomination. “This year, competition for the Fidos has been the most intense ever,” Rose said. “Who knows why? It’s beyond our ken. And Barbie hasn’t got a clue either.” https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/09/dog-film-stars-doggy-oscars-fido-award-anatomy-of-a-fall-barbie-napoleon

Israel hits one of the largest residential towers in Rafah with air raid, displacing hundreds who fled the building. A Palestinian boy sits outside the building residential building, which was hit by an Israeli attack in Rafah, Gaza Strip, early on Saturday [Hatem Ali/AP Photo] Israeli forces have struck one of the largest residential towers in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, residents said, stepping up pressure on the last area of the enclave it has not yet invaded and where more than a million displaced Palestinians are sheltering. The 12-floor Burj al-Masri building, located some 500 metres (1,640 feet) from the border with Egypt, was damaged in the air raid early on Saturday morning. Dozens of families were made homeless though no casualties were reported, according to residents. The Israeli military did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the incident. One of the tower’s 300 residents told the Reuters news agency that Israel gave them a 30-minute warning to flee the building at night. “People were startled, running down the stairs, some fell, it was chaos. People left their belongings and money,” said Mohammad al-Nabrees, adding that among those who tripped down the stairs during the panicked evacuation was a friend’s pregnant wife. A Rafah-based official with the Fatah party, which dominates the Palestinian Authority that has limited self-rule in the occupied West Bank, said he feared that hitting the Rafah tower was a sign of an imminent Israeli invasion. Five months into Israel’s unrelenting air and ground assault on Gaza, health authorities say nearly 31,000 Palestinians have been killed, more than 72,500 wounded and thousands more are likely under rubble. The offensive has plunged the Palestinian territory, already reeling from a 17-year Israel-led blockade, into a humanitarian catastrophe. Much of it has been reduced to rubble and most of the 2.3 million po[CENSORED]tion have been displaced, with the United Nations warning of disease and starvation.

9 Mar 2024 Pakistan Peoples Party’s co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari has won a second term as Pakistan’s president, supported by the ruling coalition in a vote by parliament and regional assemblies. Zardari secured 411 votes, while his opponent, Mehmood Khan Achakzai, who is backed by the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan, received 181 votes, the Election Commission of Pakistan announced on Saturday after tallying the votes by national MPs, provincial MPs and senators. The widower of Pakistan’s assassinated first female leader, Benazir Bhutto, Zardari was voted into the largely ceremonial post by the PPP, which formed an alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) party after Pakistan’s February 8 elections that were marred with rigging claims. Zardari is expected to be sworn in at a ceremony on Sunday. Under the terms of the coalition pact, which also includes a number of smaller parties, PMLN’s Shehbaz Sharif was sworn-in as prime minister earlier this week on Monday. Khan was jailed and prohibited from contesting in the election, with his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party targeted by arrests and censorship, and its members forced to stand as independents. The PTI said a mobile internet blackout on election day and a delay in results were used to cover up nationwide rigging preventing their victory. The elections were also marred with allegations of vote tampering. The PTI won more seats than any other party last month, but fell far short of the majority needed to govern, which cleared the way for the alliance between PMLN and PPP. PTI chairman, barrister Gohar Ali Khan, said that Zardari’s election was “unconstitutional”. The party is now fighting a case for the allocation of seats reserved for women and minorities in the assembly. Zardari, 68, previously took the presidential office post in 2008 after a sympathy vote following the gun and bomb assassination of Benazir Bhutto when she was campaigning for re-election. While president, a role which he held until 2013, he rolled back the powers of the presidency. Pakistan’s presidency was once powerful, but was reduced to that of a figurehead in 2010 after Zardari made a constitutional amendment. During his tenure, he faced challenges ranging from threats from the Taliban, to tense relations with the military after the United States special forces’ operation in Pakistan to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in 2011. Zardari has faced corruption allegations and spent more than 11 years in jail, but has bounced back from his various scandals. Back in 2009, the New York Times said he had a knack for “artful dodging” – “manoeuvring himself out of the tight spots he gets himself into”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/9/asif-ali-zardari-elected-pakistans-president-for-second-time
