Baig completed the climb to the summit at around 7:30am local time with her brother Mirza Ali, who becomes the third and youngest Pakistani male to scale the mountain.

Nepal Mountaineering Department official Tilak Padney said that 35 foreigners accompanied by 29 Nepalese Sherpa guides reached the peak after climbing all night from the highest camp on South Col — the pass between Everest and a neighboring mountain.

Ali (29) and Baig (21) are natives of Shimshal village in Hunza valley, Pakistan. Ali has been climbing since age 15, and he was Baig’s mentor, guide and support.

On his personal blog, Ali stated that this climb was the “First Pakistani Gender Equality Mt Everest Expedition”.

Former England captain Beckham, 38, will call it a day after winning the French league title with Paris St Germain. Beckham said: “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level.”

He added: “If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I’m fortunate to have realised those dreams.”

Beckham made his debut for Manchester United in 1992, winning six league titles and the Champions League before moving to Real Madrid and Los Angeles Galaxy, plus loan spells at AC Milan.

Mega Millions is up to $190 million for Friday’s drawing because no one matched all the numbers drawn last night. A ticket sold in Delaware just missed, matching the first five numbers — 6, 10, 12, 28 and 32 — but not the Mega Ball of 38.

Mega Million’s top prize hasn’t been hit in two months.

Powerball has a $360 million jackpot for tonight’s drawing, its third biggest ever. The cash payout of $229.2 million is the fifth largest for any U.S. lottery.

Every other jackpot this big has gotten hit, so if Powerball does somehow roll over, the record books better watch out.

Last March, a $356 million Mega Millions jackpot rolled over, and skyrocketing sales resulted in a $656 million annuity, obliterating the old U.S. record of $390 million.

“The first thing he said was, ‘Familia!’” his brother-in-law Juan Alicea tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. Before he left, “He kissed his mom goodbye and said, ‘I love you, Mom; the food was good.’ Just like normal.”

But as much of the country would soon learn, it was no ordinary day.

Within hours, Castro, 52, and his brothers Pedro, 54, and Onil, 50, were arrested after three missing women – Amanda Berry, 27, who disappeared 10 years ago; Gina DeJesus, just 14 when she vanished in 2004; and Michelle Knight, who was 21 at the time of her 2002 disappearance – escaped from Castro’s Cleveland home.

“Many times people have come up to me after and they’d, they’d say, ‘Richie, do you know what you did?’ I’d say, ‘What?’ They’d go, ‘I wrote these songs down for you to sing and you sang ‘em all in a row.’ That’s the kind of communication happens, you know,” Havens said. “It’s like if you let the audience lead, then you are the audience.”

For the photo lovers, both the Lumia 920 and the Galaxy Note 2 offer an 8 MP rear camera – the former coming with Carl Zeiss optics even. You will be disappointed with the HTC First’s 5 MP rear camera though. While the Lumia 920 and the First have a 2000 mAh battery, the Galaxy Note 2 promises a longer life on a single charge thanks to its 3100 mAh battery.

But, it all comes down to the price. If you’re budget conscious, the First should be a decent option to consider. But if you have the moolah to spend, you’re better off going for the Galaxy Note 2, or if you really love the Windows Phone 8 experience, the Lumia 920.
