'I was always told that I could never be a certain size or that I could never look a certain way and that really got to me,' she tells Your Fitness

'I started to believe what everybody else told me. But then one day something inside of me didn't want to be defined by somebody else's perception or vision of me.'

Khloe, who recently showed off her stunning figure in a series of flesh-flashing leotards for Protein World, also reveals the trickiest part of her body to tone up.

Rumana Ahmed,a Muslim White House Staffer of Bangladesh Origin Quit her Job over Donald Trump's Travel Ban

Hijab-wearing Muslim ex-White House staffer of Bangladeshi-origin has said she quit her job after US President Donald Trump announced his controversial travel ban, lasting just eight days in the new administration. Rumana Ahmed was hired in 2011 to work at the White House and eventually the National Security Council (NSC).

"My job there was to promote and protect the best of what my country stands for. I am a hijab-wearing Muslim woman - I was the only hijabi in the West Wing - and the Obama administration always made me feel welcome and included," she wrote in an article published in The Atlantic.

Ms Ahmed said that like most of her fellow American-Muslims, she spent much of 2016 watching with "consternation" as Mr Trump "vilified our community

Ms Ahmed, whose parents immigrated to the US from Bangladesh in 1978, said inspired by then president Barack Obama, she joined the White House in 2011, after graduating from the George Washington University.

"The days I spent in the Trump White House were strange, appalling and disturbing," she wrote.

Ms Ahmed's personal account comes amid a spike in incidents of intimidation and assault targeting hijab-wearing women across the US following Mr Trump's electoral triumph.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami Meets Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi Monday Feb 27,2017

During his first official meeting with Modi after being sworn in as chief minister, Palaniswami submitted a memorandum containing crucial issues relating to the state that require urgent attention of the Centre. "They are important to safeguard the legitimate interests of the state and to propel it on to a faster growth trajectory," Palaniswami said.

"The imposition of NEET will cause grave injustice to students from rural areas and hence approval for the TN bills seeking exemption from NEET may be accorded so that Presidential assent could be obtained at the earliest," the CM said. He also opposed the proposed national pre-veterinary eligibility test for admission to veterinary colleges.

The state had sought financial assistance of Rs 39,555 crore for drought relief and Rs 22,573 crore for the damage caused by cyclone Vardah, but the Centre was yet to provide any assistance, Palaniswami said. His predecessor, O Panneerselvam had declared all 32 districts in the state as drought hit on January 10,2017

The CM expressed the state's concerns about Mekedatu scheme proposed by Karnataka, the dams planned by Kerala across Pambar and Bhavani rivers which are part of the Cauvery basin, and sought the Centre's help in setting up permanent mechanisms, the Cauvery Management Board and Cauvery Water Regulation Committee to resolve the long-festering issue between the neighbouring states. That apart, the state is also keen on restoring the full reservoir level of 152ft in Mullaperiyar dam, inter-linking of rivers, besides seeking approval for the Athikadavu-Avinashi scheme.

Terming unfair the formula adopted by the 14th finance commission which has "singled out Tamil Nadu for very adverse treatment", Palaniswami demanded that Modi release the pending dues of Rs 17,333 crore for various Central schemes. Emphasising on the power sector, he sought expeditious approval of the revised bidding documents for the Cheyyur ultra mega power project, creation of a dedicated inter-state green energy corridor to evacuate surplus wind power from Tamil Nadu and abolishing frequency linked penalty for renewable energy-rich states. He also urged concessional funding of Rs 17,000 crore from power ministry to make Chennai cyclone and flood resilient through improvements in distribution network.

Olga Korbut,Former Soviet Gymnast Korbut Sells Off Olympic Medals Monday Feb 27,2017

Olga Korbut, the gymnastics darling of the 1972 Munich Olympics who has apparently fallen on hard times, has sold off her Games medals and other trophies through a US auction house.

Thirty-two lots, including two golds and a silver from the Munich Olympics, fetched $333,500 in a weekend online sale by Heritage Auctions for the former Soviet gymnast who now lives in Arizona, auction house spokesman Chris Ivy said on Monday Feb 27,2017

The top item was her team gold medal, which brought $66,000 for the 61-year-old Korbut, a native Belarusian who moved to the United States in 1991.

Sale items included one of her performance leotards, her 1972 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award and various Soviet medals.

At the age of 17, the 4-foot-11 (1.5 m) Korbut made a giant impression across the globe at the Munich Games with electrifying routines that brought her team, balance beam and floor exercise gold and a silver in the uneven bars.

Four years later Korbut, who triggered an explosion of interest in gymnastics, added another gold and a silver at the Montreal Olympics.

Thomas Perez Elected as the new Chairman of the US Democratic Party Saturday Feb 25,2017

The Democratic National Committee elected former labour secretary Thomas Perez as its chair on Saturday Feb 25,2017

Thomas Perez, progressive in political views but guarded in strategy, is the first Latino to head the DNC

The fierce battle that preceded the election of Mr. Perez showed that the deep ideological and personality clashes that crippled the party and cost the November 2016 presidential election that it had taken for granted have not been resolved yet.

Thomas Perez, supported by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, defeated Keith Ellison, who was supported by Senator Bernie Sanders, in a close contest which was widely seen as an “establishment versus revolution” battle for the future of the party.

Keith Ellison, an African-American, is also the first Muslim member of the U.S Congress
