Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa sp., Apidae)
possibly a nocturnal species (subgenus Nyctomelitta)
These large and outwardly menacing bees earn their name from the fact that nearly all species build their nests in burrows in dead wood, bamboo, or structural timbers aided by their ample mandibles.
I have had them appear at the MV lamp at night on a few occasions, as was the case in this instance.

Three weeks ago while at Costco I ran into this guy that was getting a copy made of his photo of Muhammad Ali as the Grand Marshal in the 1967 Watts Summer Festival and Parade. The photo was taken by my friend's 1st cousin, Howard Bingham. Mr. Bingham was Ali's photographer and close friend.

Shark Observatory is a fantastic dive.
(but so pity, no sharks:-))
The location is literally a vertical wall that extends down to 90m, sloping outwards only at its foot.
There are numerous caves which are home to sweeping schools of glassfish as well as very impressive overhangs and huge gorgonian fans.

Jack Nicholson (1937) is an American actor and filmmaker who has performed for over sixty years. His rise in Hollywood was far from meteoric, and for years, he sustained his career with guest spots in television series and a number of Roger Corman films. He is now known for playing a wide range of starring or supporting roles, including satirical comedy, romance, and dark portrayals of anti-heroes and villainous characters. In many of his films, he has played someone who rebels against the social structure. Nicholson's 12 Oscar nominations make him the most nominated male actor ever. He won the Oscars for Best Actor twice – for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and As Good as It Gets (1997), and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for Terms of Endearment (1983).
Jack Nicholson was born in 1937 as John Joseph Nicholson in Neptune City, New Jersey. He was the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (stage name June Nilson). She married Italian-American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) in 1936, before realising that he was already married. Biographer Patrick McGilligan stated in his book Jack's Life that Latvian-born Eddie King, June's manager, may have been Nicholson's biological father, rather than Furcillo. Other sources suggest June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. As June was only seventeen years old and unmarried, her parents agreed to raise Nicholson as their own child without revealing his true parentage, and June would act as his sister. In 1974, Time magazine researchers learned, and informed Nicholson, that his 'sister', June, was actually his mother, and his other 'sister', Lorraine, was really his aunt. By this time, both his mother and grandmother had died (in 1963 and 1970, respectively). On finding out, Nicholson said it was "a pretty dramatic event, but it wasn't what I'd call traumatizing ... I was pretty well psychologically formed". Before starting high school, his family moved to an apartment in Spring Lake, New Jersey. When Jack was ready for high school, the family moved once more, to old-money Spring Lake, New Jersey's so-called Irish Riviera, where Ethel May set up her beauty parlor. 'Nick', as he was known to his high school friends, attended nearby Manasquan High School, where he was voted 'Class Clown' by the Class of 1954. In 1957, Nicholson joined the California Air National Guard. After completing the Air Force's basic training, Nicholson performed weekend drills and two-week annual training as a fire fighter. Nicholson first came to Hollywood in 1954, when he was seventeen, to visit his sister. He took a job as an office worker for animators William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at the MGM cartoon studio. He trained to be an actor with a group called the Players Ring Theater, after which time he found small parts performing on the stage and in TV soap operas. He made his film debut in a low-budget teen drama The Cry Baby Killer (Justus Addiss, 1958), playing the title role. For the following decade, Nicholson was a frequent collaborator with the film's producer, Roger Corman. Corman directed Nicholson on several occasions, most notably in The Little Shop of Horrors (Roger Corman, 1960), as masochistic dental patient and undertaker Wilbur Force, and also in The Raven (Roger Corman, 1963), The Terror (Roger Corman, 1963) as a French officer seduced by an evil ghost, and The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (Roger Corman, 1967). Nicholson also frequently worked with director Monte Hellman on low-budget Westerns, including the cult successes Ride in the Whirlwind (Monte Hellman, 1966) with Cameron Mitchell, and The Shooting (Monte Hellman, 1966) opposite Millie Perkins. Nicholson also appeared in episodes of TV series like Dr. Kildare (1966) and The Andy Griffith Show (1966-1967). However, Nicholson seemed resigned to a career behind the camera as a writer/director. His first real taste of writing success was the screenplay for the counterculture film The Trip (Roger Corman, 1967), which starred Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Nicholson also co-wrote, with Bob Rafelson, Head (Bob Rafelson, 1968), which starred The Monkees. He also arranged the film's soundtrack. Nicholson's first turn in the director's chair was for Drive, He Said (1971).
Jack Nicholson had his acting break when a spot opened up in Easy Rider (Dennis Hopper, 1969). Nicholson played liquor-soaked lawyer George Hanson, for which he received his first Oscar nomination. The film cost only $400,000 to make, and became a blockbuster, grossing $40 million. Overnight, Nicholson became a hero of the counter-culture movement. Nicholson was cast by Stanley Kubrick, who was impressed with his role in Easy Rider, in the part of Napoleon in a film about his life, and although production on the film commenced, the project fizzled out, partly due to a change in ownership at MGM. Nicholson starred in Five Easy Pieces (Bob Rafelson, 1970) alongside Karen Black. Bobby Dupea, an oil rig worker, became his persona-defining role. Nicholson and Black were nominated for Academy Awards for their performances. Critics began speculating whether he might become another Marlon Brando or James Dean. His career and income skyrocketed. Nicholson starred in Carnal Knowledge (Mike Nichols, 1971), which co-starred Art Garfunkel, Ann-Margret, and Candice Bergen. Other roles included Billy "Bad Ass" Buddusky in The Last Detail (Hal Ashby, 1973). For his role, Nicholson won the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, and he was nominated for his third Oscar and a Golden Globe. In 1974, Nicholson starred in Roman Polanski's majestic Film Noir Chinatown, opposite Faye Dunaway. For his role as private detective Jake Gittes, he was again nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor. The role was a major transition from the exploitation films of the previous decade. One of Nicholson's greatest successes came with his role as Randle P. McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Miloš Forman, 1975). It was an adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel and co-produced by Michael Douglas. Nicholson plays an anti-authoritarian patient at a mental hospital where he becomes an inspiring leader for the other patients. The film swept the Academy Awards with nine nominations, and won the top five, including Nicholson's first for Best Actor. Also that year, Nicholson starred in Michelangelo Antonioni's The Passenger (1975), which co-starred Maria Schneider. The film received good reviews and revived Antonioni's reputation as one of the cinema's great directors. He took a small role in The Last Tycoon (Elia Kazan, 1976), opposite Robert De Niro. He took a less sympathetic role in Arthur Penn's Western The Missouri Breaks (1976), specifically to work with Marlon Brando.
Although Jack Nicholson did not win an Oscar for Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining (1980), it remains one of his more significant roles. Nicholson improvised his now-famous "Here's Johnny!" line, along with the scene in which he's sitting at the typewriter and unleashes his anger upon his wife after she discovers he has gone insane when she looks at his writing ("all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" typed endlessly). In 1982, he starred as an immigration enforcement agent in The Border (Tony Richardson, 1982, co-starring Warren Oates. Nicholson won his second Oscar, an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, for his role of retired astronaut Garrett Breedlove in Terms of Endearment (James L. Brooks, 1983), starring Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. He and MacLaine played many of their scenes in different ways, constantly testing and making adjustments. Nicholson continued to work prolifically in the 1980s, starring in such films as The Postman Always Rings Twice (Bob Rafelson, 1981), Reds (Warren Beatty, 1981), where Nicholson portrays the writer Eugene O'Neill with a quiet intensity, Prizzi's Honor (John Huston, 1985), The Witches of Eastwick (George Miller, 1987), Broadcast News (James L. Brooks, 1987), and Ironweed (Hector Babenco, 1987) with Meryl Streep. Three Oscar nominations also followed, for Reds, Prizzi's Honor, and Ironweed. In Batman (Tim Burton, 1989), Nicholson played the psychotic murderer and villain, the Joker. Batman creator Bob Kane personally recommended him for the role. The film was an international smash hit, and a lucrative percentage deal earned him a percentage of the box office gross estimated at $60 million to $90 million. For his role as hot-headed Col. Nathan R. Jessup in A Few Good Men (Rob Reiner, 1992), a film about a murder in a U.S. Marine Corps unit, Nicholson received yet another Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In 1996, Nicholson collaborated once more with Batman director Tim Burton on Mars Attacks!, pulling double duty as two contrasting characters, President James Dale and Las Vegas property developer Art Land. At first, studio executives at Warner Bros. disliked the idea of killing off Nicholson's character, so Burton created two characters and killed them both off. Not all of Nicholson's performances have been well received. He was nominated for Razzie Awards as worst actor for Man Trouble (Bob Rafelson, 1992) and Hoffa (Danny DeVito, 1992). However, Nicholson's performance in Hoffa also earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Nicholson went on to win his next Academy Award for Best Actor in the romantic comedy, As Good as It Gets (1997), his third film directed by James L. Brooks. He played Melvin Udall, a "wickedly funny", mean-spirited, obsessive-compulsive novelist. His Oscar was matched with the Academy Award for Best Actress for Helen Hunt, who played a Manhattan wisecracking, single-mother waitress drawn into a love/hate friendship with Udall, a frequent diner in the restaurant. The film was a tremendous box office success, grossing $314 million, which made it Nicholson's second-best-grossing film of his career, after Batman.
In About Schmidt (Alexander Payne, 2002), Nicholson portrayed a retired Omaha, Nebraska, actuary who questions his own life following his wife's death. His quietly restrained performance earned him another Oscar Nomination. In Anger Management (Peter Segal, 2003), he played an aggressive therapist assigned to help an over pacifist man (Adam Sandler). In 2003, Nicholson also starred in Something's Gotta Give (Nancy Meyers, 2003), as an aging playboy who falls for the mother (Diane Keaton) of his young girlfriend. In late 2006, Nicholson marked his return to the dark side as Frank Costello, a nefarious Boston Irish Mob boss, based on Whitey Bulger who was still on the run at that time, presiding over Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning film The Departed, a remake of Andrew Lau's Infernal Affairs. The role earned Nicholson worldwide critical praise, along with various award wins and nominations, including a Golden Globe nomination. In 2007, Nicholson co-starred with Morgan Freeman in The Bucket List (Rob Reiner, 2007) Nicholson and Freeman portrayed dying men who fulfill their list of goals. Nicholson reunited with James L. Brooks, director of Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, and As Good as It Gets, for a supporting role as Paul Rudd's character's father in How Do You Know (2012). It had been widely reported in subsequent years that Nicholson had retired from acting because of memory loss, but in a September 2013 Vanity Fair article, Nicholson clarified that he did not consider himself retired, merely that he was now less driven to "be out there any more". In 2015, Nicholson made a special appearance as a presenter on SNL 40, the 40th anniversary special of Saturday Night Live. After the death of boxer Muhammad Ali in 2016, Nicholson appeared on HBO's The Fight Game with Jim Lampley for an exclusive interview about his friendship with Ali. In 2017, it was reported that Nicholson would be starring in an English-language remake of Toni Erdmann opposite Kristen Wiig, but Nicholson dropped out of the project. does not consider himself to be retired. He has also directed three films, including The Two Jakes (1990), the sequel to Chinatown. Nicholson is one of three male actors to win three Academy Awards. He also has won six Golden Globe Awards. He has had a number of high-profile relationships and was married to Sandra Knight from 1962 until their divorce in 1968. Nicholson has five children. His eldest daughter is Jennifer Nicholson (1963), from his marriage to actress Sandra Knight. He has a son, Caleb James Goddard (1970) with Susan Anspach, and a daughter, Honey Hollman (1981) with Danish supermodel, Winnie Hollman. With Rebecca Broussard, he has two children, Lorraine Nicholson (1990) and Ray Nicholson (1992). Nicholson's longest relationship was the 17 years he spent with actress Anjelica Huston; this ended when Broussard become pregnant with his child. Jack Nicholson is the only actor to ever play the Devil, the Joker, and a werewolf.

Assalamu Alikum, peace be upon you all..
The religion of Islam respects freedoms far more than any laws and other religions. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him (PBUH), has taught us respect of others' freedoms and rights, principles of sound negotiation, exchange of views, and using the right evidence and proof. Prophet Muhammad has taught us that our freedom of speech should not conflict with respecting all religions and prophets.
The art concerning Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is calligraphic in nature, that's according to the Islamic traditions and concepts. It hurts me to see such cartoons mocking my dear Prophet under the cover of "freedom of speech". Blocking ears and closing eyes to such claims and insult to the Prophet of Islam is the gravest aggression against human rights. Nothing further to be said..
P.S: This is something that I wanted to do long time ago since I was feeling an agony 'caused by the printing (and reprinting) of these drawings. The photo is displayed for photography criticism purposes. Any insulting comments to any prophet (Peace be upon them all), religion or belief will be deleted.
For non-Arabic readers, the photo captures a page of Qur'an, exactly states the following: "But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and believe in the (Revelation) sent down to Muhammad - for it is the Truth from their Lord,- He will remove from them their ills and improve their condition.

Saving the Best For Last :) Wow I so got lucky on this shot!!!
This is Muhammad Ali, who was the grand marshall of the parade and is from
Louisville. We have a new Ali Center downtown in his honor and the city of
Louisville will always both worship and honor his presence.
He's actually looking at the camera in this shot. It's harder for me to tell looking at it this size, but when I blow the original up larger, it's pretty obvious!

من هو رسولنا ...كلمات قليله تذكرنا بفضل نبينا
محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب، يعتبره المسلمون رسول الله للبشرية ليعيدهم إلى توحيد الله وعبادته، ويؤمنون بأنه خاتم النبيين والمرسلين،[1] وأنه أشرف المخلوقات وسيّد البشر،[2] كما يعتقدون فيه العصمة.[3] عند ذكر اسمه، يُلحِق المسلمون عبارة «صلى الله عليه وسلم» مع إضافة «وآله» و«وصحبه» في بعض الأحيان، لِمَا جاء في القرآن والسنة النبوية مما يحثهم على الصلاة عليه.[4] اعتبره الكاتب اليهودي مايكل هارت أعظم الشخصيّات أثرًا في تاريخ الإنسانية كلّها باعتباره «الإنسان الوحيد في التاريخ الذي نجح نجاحًا مطلقًا على المستوى الديني والدنيوي».[5] ترك محمد أثرًا كبيرًا في نفوس المسلمين، حتى كثُرت مظاهر محبّتهم وتعظيمهم له، من ذلك الاحتفال بمولده، واتباعهم لأمره وأسلوب حياته وعباداته، وقيامهم بحفظ أقواله وأفعاله وصفاته وجمع ذلك في كتب عُرفت بكتب الحديث النبوي.
ولد في مكة في شهر ربيع الأول من عام الفيل قبل ثلاث وخمسين سنة من الهجرة (هجرته من مكة إلى المدينة)، ما يوافق سنة 570 أو 571 ميلاديًا و52 ق هـ.[6] ولد يتيم الأب وفقد أمه في سنّ مبكرة فتربى في كنف جده عبد المطلب ثم من بعده عمه أبي طالب حيث ترعرع، وكان في تلك الفترة يعمل بالرعي ثم بالتجارة. تزوج في سنِّ الخامسة والعشرين من خديجة بنت خويلد وأنجب منها كل أولاده باستثناء إبراهيم. كان قبل الإسلام يرفض عبادة الأوثان والممارسات الوثنية التي كانت منتشرة في مكة.[7] ويؤمن المسلمون أن الوحي نزل عليه وكُلّف بالرسالة وهو ذو أربعين سنة، أمر بالدعوة سرًا لثلاث سنوات، قضى بعدهنّ عشر سنوات أُخَر في مكة مجاهرًا بدعوة أهلها وكل من يرد إليها من التجار والحجيج وغيرهم. هاجر إلى المدينة المنورة والمسماة يثرب آنذاك عام 622م وهو في الثالثة والخمسين من عمره بعد أن تآمر عليه سادات قريش ممن عارضوا دعوته وسعوا إلى قتله، فعاش فيها عشر سنين أُخر داعيًا إلى الإسلام، وأسس بها نواة الحضارة الإسلامية، التي توسعت لاحقًا وشملت مكة وكل المدن والقبائل العربية، حيث وحَّد العرب لأول مرة على ديانة توحيدية ودولة موحدة، ودعا لنبذ العنصرية والعصبية القبلية.[8][9]
Who is Muhammad?
Muhammad* was born in Makkah in the year 570* at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. Since his father died before his birth* and his mother shortly afterwards* he was raised by his uncle from the respected tribe of Quraysh. As he grew up* he became known for his truthfulness* generosity and sincerity* so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. The historians describe him as calm and meditative.
Muhammad was of a deeply religious nature* and had long detested the decadence of his society. It became his habit to meditate from time to time in the Cave of Hira near the summit of Jabal al-Nur* the 'Mountain of Light' near Makkah.
How did Muhammad become a prophet and a messenger of God?
At the age of 40* while engaged in a meditative retreat* Muhammad received his first revelation from God through the Angel Gabriel. This revelation* which continued for twenty-three years* is known as the Quran.

»Nein, ich werde nicht 10.000 Meilen von zu Hause entfernt helfen, eine andere arme Nation zu ermorden und nieder-zubrennen, nur um die Vorherrschaft weißer Sklaven-herren über die dunkleren Völker der Welt sichern zu helfen.«
Mit dieser 1967 öffentlich vorgetragenen Weigerung von Muhammad Ali am Vietnamkrieg teilzunehmen, wurde er als amtierender Schwergewichts-Boxweltmeister aus dem Boxbetrieb ausgeschlossen. Zu dieser Zeit stand der als Cassius Marcellus Clay geborene schwarze, äußerst leichtfüßige Boxer Ali auf dem Höhepunkt seiner Karriere.1964 hatte er bekannt gegeben, dass er der von nun an seinen Sklavennamen ablege und ab sofort Muhammad Ali heissen werde…
1967 wurde Ali wegen Wehrdienstverweigerung zu fünf Jahren Gefängnis und 10.000 $ Strafe verurteilt, musste aber gegen Zahlung einer nicht ins Gefängnis. Sein Reisepass wurde eingezogen und er konnte drei Jahre lang nicht an Wettkämpfen teilnehmen, da ihm keine Boxlizenz erteilt wurde. Stattdessen widmete er sich gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen, die er oft in Fernsehauftritten ansprach.
Ali war nicht nur [ungekrönter] Boxchampion, er entwickelte sich zur Symbolfigur des selbstbewussten, kämpfenden Schwarzen, der mit persönlicher Konsequenz für die Rechte jahrhundertlang unterdrückter Afro-Amerikaner:innen eintrat und v.a. wenig Respekt vor Angriffen der weißen Gesellschaft zeigte. Die mediale Berichterstattung kritisierte vordergründig die Großmäuligkeit von Ali, im Kern war es aber die Empörung darüber, dass ein Schwarzer unbotmäßig gegenüber einer feststehenden weißen Ordnung auftrat und nicht dem erwarteten Bild eines gefügigen [bescheidenen] Dieners bzw. Sklaven entsprach. Ab 1970 arbeite Muhammad Ali an seinem Comeback. Der bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt weit über den Boxsport hinaus bekannte Ali erlangte Weltruhm mit seinem Kampf gegen George Fore-man in Kinshasa 1974, der Hauptstadt Zaires.
Das als »Rumble in the jungle« in die Geschichte eingegangene Ereignis spiegelte abermals die Kolonialgeschichte und Sklaverei wieder. Während George Foreman mit einem deutschen Schäferhund – ähnlich wie zuvor die belgischen Besatzer – der Bevölkerung Kinshasas gegenübertrat, suchte Ali vor allem beim Lauftraining die Nähe zu den Menschen. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit hallte von Zaire aus das »Ali, boma ye!« [»Ali, töte ihn!«] in die Welt; auch Ausdruck der Schärfe in den Befreiungsbemühungen vieler Afrikanischer Länder gegen ihre ehemaligen Ausbeuter. Ali gewann den Kampf und setzte sich damit selbst ein Denkmal. Er boxte in seinem leichtfüßigen und taktisch außergewöhnlichen Stil noch bis Anfang der 1980er Jahre, der sich in seinem Wahlspruch »Flow like a butterfly, sting like a bee« ausdrückte. 1984 wurde bei ihm die Parkinson-Krankheit festgestellt, was in Zusammenhang mit seiner Boxtätigkeit gebracht wird. Eine medizinische Bestätigung dieser These ist bis heute umstritten. Muhammad Ali ist mit zahlreichen Auszeichnungen bestückt, Sportler des Jahrhunderts [1999], Freiheitsmedaille, die höchste zivile Auszeichnung der USA, 2005 wurde Muhammad Ali als erster US-Amerikaner mit der »Otto-Hahn-Friedensmedaille in Gold« der Deutschen Gesellschaft für die Vereinten Nationen in Berlin ausgezeichnet – »für herausragende Verdienste um Frieden und Völkerverständigung« und er erhielt die Ehrendoktorwürde der Columbia-Universität in New York. Der seit 1975 dem sunnitischen Islam zugehörige Ali setzt sich seit den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 auf das Zwillingstürme in New York und das Pentagon für eine pazifistische Interpretation des islamischen Glaubens ein. Seine Tocher Laila ist ebenfalls Boxerin. Muhammad Ali verstarb nach langer Krankheit am 03.Juni 2016.

Louisville loves its native Muhammad Ali. Yes, Louisville has horse races. It has bourbon. It has bluegrass. But no visitor of Derby City would understand the city's essence without seeing something of Ali here.
This is a painting of boxing champion Muhammad Ali in a mural outside the Louisville Boxing building in an older part of Louisville, Kentucky.
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Francis Frith & Co. Ltd. of Reigate. The card was posted in Maidenhead using a 3d. stamp on Saturday the 10th. September 1966.
The card was sent to:
Mrs. Bristow,
205, Wells Road,
Bristol.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Showing you a hotel
where we had a meal -
to remind you of eggs
and milk.
It's very lovely around
here.
Love,
Sally."
Sally is probably referring to the pub on the left which is called the George and Dragon. It is still going strong to this day
Wonderloaf
Note the Wonderloaf van. Wonderloaf is a British icon - the first British bread slicing and wrapping machine was installed at the Wonderloaf Bakery in Tottenham in 1937, having been patented in America in 1934.
The war slowed things down a bit, but by the 1950's, the sliced loaf accounted for 80 per cent of the bread market in Great Britain.
Wonderloaf slogans included:
- 'Of course it's fresh, it's Wonderloaf.'
- 'As fresh as the news every day.'
- 'Bakers eat it.'
- 'The same price as ordinary bread.'
The War Memorial
The Grade II Listed war memorial on the right of the photograph commemorates the fallen of Marlow during the First and Second World Wars. 230 men from Marlow and the surrounding area died in the Great War.
The unveiling ceremony took place on the 25th. July 1920, and was attended by Gen. Sir George Higginson GCB GCVO.
The plinth supporting the stone cross bears the following inscription:
'Sons of this place,
Let this of you be said,
That you who live are
worthy of your dead.
These gave their lives
that you who live may
reap a richer harvest
Ere you fall asleep.
TFR.'
Douglas 'Pete' Peterson
So what else happened on the day that Sally posted the card?
Well, on the 10th. September 1966, U.S. Air Force Captain Douglas "Pete" Peterson was flying an F-4 Phantom over North Vietnam when he was shot down.
He was held as a prisoner of war in the "Hanoi Hilton" for six and a half years until his release on the 4th. March 1973.
After serving as a U.S. Representative for Florida for six years, Pete returned to Hanoi in 1997, as the first United States Ambassador to Vietnam.
On his drive to and from the Embassy, Peterson made it a point to drive past the former POW camp.
Hendrik Verwoerd
Also on that day, Hendrik Verwoerd's state funeral, attended by a quarter of a million people (almost entirely white), was held in Pretoria, South Africa.
Muhammad Ali
Also on the 10th. September 1966, heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali defended his world title in Frankfurt, West Germany, in a challenge by the European heavyweight champion, Karl Mildenberger, who had not lost a bout in four years.
Although Mildenberger was cut above both eyes in the fourth round, and knocked down by Ali in the fifth, the American boxer slowed his pace, giving the German champ time to recover.
Finally, in the 12th. round, Ali won by a technical knockout after the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
Children's Cartoons
Also on the 10th. September 1966, all three American TV networks debuted their Saturday morning lineup of children's cartoons.
CBS capitalized on the popularity of superheroes with The New Adventures of Superman and with new heroes created for television by Hanna-Barbera Productions, notably Space Ghost and Frankenstein Jr. and The Impossibles.
Atlas-Agena
Also on that day, the scheduled Atlas-Agena launch was postponed because of apparent problems with the target launch vehicle autopilot.
The launch was rescheduled for the 12th. September 1966.
Emil Gumbel
The 10th. September 1966 also marked the death at the age of 75 of the German mathematician and political commentator Emil Gumbel.
Emil had fled the Nazi government in 1932 after his demotion from Heidelberg University.
The Beatles
Also on that day, the Number One chart hit record in the UK was 'Yellow Submarine' by The Beatles.
