I chosed this photo (Artist is unknown) becuase it captures the warm heart and charm of a great champion. #RIPALI
A young Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of The World named Muhammad
Ali standing 6'4" 220lbs with an 84" reach was an extremely big dude.
He talked a lot of smack but he also beat everybodys ass in order.
When I met him I couldn't get over how long he was from the neck to
the tip of his shoulder & how long his arms went past his waist. Then
you add in this, he could throw 7 punches in 2 seconds. George
Chavalo said recently "When I got into the ring with him I finally
reliized that this is a very big Heavyweight & when the punches
come... It's one thing to see them on TV but when one is hitting you
and you didn't even see that one & there is four more already coming a
mili second behind it & you don't see them neither...man!" This is
why you have a fighter that when he was young, nobody could hit. Here
he goes to 28-0 with 25 ko's He was loved and hated now an iconic
figure and a living American legend... Muhammad Ali

Let me have few moments to give you a sight of wonderful moments of Children’s exhibition on DRR organized by Save the children, Badin district Sindh. Thousands of young children including few with disability proved their skills and abilities by having access to information, not only this they also proved to be catalyst to bring about change in the lives of other children while becoming role model for them. Certainly, these events were sort of contribution to international day of DRR (13 October, 2013) where most of the special children changed the perceptions of people regarding Disability that is not inability.

Bahawalpur, Pakistan
Bahawalpur (Punjabi, Urdu: بہاولپور), is a city in Punjab, Pakistan. The city used to be the capital of the Bahawalpur princely state, now the Bahawalpur District. It is the 13th most populous metropolitan area of Pakistan.
The princely state of Bahawalpur was founded in 1802 by Nawab Mohammad Bahawal Khan II after the break-up of the Durrani Empire. The city is over 4.51 kilometres long. Nawab Mohammad Bahawal Khan III signed a treaty with the British on 22 February 1833, guaranteeing the independence of the Nawab. The state acceded to Pakistan on 7 October 1947 when Nawab Sadiq Muhammad Khan Abbasi V Bahadur decided to join Pakistan fifty days after independence.

Heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali feigns surprise as he is given a clock by University of Maryland basketball coach Lefty Driesel at a team awards banquet April 26, 1976 at the Sheraton Motor Inn in Lanham, Md.
Ali was staying and training at the hotel for his upcoming bout with Jimmy Young a few days later.
Ali came to the banquet after learning that it was a fundraiser to pay for funeral expenses for Chris Patton, a UMD player who died of Marfan's Syndrome in 1976 while dunking a ball during a pickup game.
Ali spoke seriously and brought Patton’s parents up to the microphone with him, but when coach Driesel presented him with a clock, he couldn’t resist his trademark humor:
“I like your team,
And admire your style.
But you’re getting’ so cheap,
You won’t see me for awhile.”
The 1975-76 UMD team finished 22-5 (7-5, 2nd in the ACC), but was shut out of the NCAA tournament The UMD team in 1975-76 was led by John Lucas II who went on to a long NBA career as a player and coach.
Ali’s bout with Young was the first heavyweight title fight in the Washington, D.C. area since Joe Louis beat Buddy Baer in 1941.
Ali had his title stripped from him for three years (1967-70) and fought his way back to regain his heavyweight title and defend it through epic bouts with George Foreman, Ken Norton and Joe Frazier as well as lesser boxers.
Young was supposed to be a tune-up for a re-match with Norton later in the year.
However, Ali was not in prime shape and Young took him 15 rounds. Ali won a unanimous decision—attributed to his aggressiveness in the early rounds and in the 15th round.
Ali, already a powerful symbol of black pride, gained additional adulation of the black liberation and antiwar activists for his 1967 refusal to step forward at an Army induction center in opposition to the Vietnam War.
His refusal led to a lengthy court battle over his status with Ali, a member of the Nation of Islam, asserting that his religion forbade him from fighting in any wars except those blessed as holy wars.
Ali stated: "War is against the teachings of the Qur'an. I'm not trying to dodge the draft. We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger. We don't take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers."
He further explained, "Man, I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong." Ali elaborated: "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?"
His heavyweight title was stripped from him and all boxing associations barred him from fighting while he was out on bail until the U.S. Supreme Court vacated his conviction for violating draft laws in 1970.
After regaining his title and defending it successfully on a number of occasions, Leon Spinks beat Ali in 1978. In a re-match Ali beat Spinks, obtaining the heavyweight title for a record third time.
Ali retired from boxing following the second Spinks fight, but unsuccessfully attempted come-backs thereafter. He retired from boxing for good in 1981.
He had first gained international fame in the 1960 Olympics in Rome where he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division.
He turned professional and surprised the boxing world when he defeated champion Sonny Liston when Liston didn’t answer the bell for the 7th round of their fight. He was undefeated until stripped of his title because of his stand on the draft.
In retirement, Ali would become a philanthropist and humanitarian, embracing a wide variety of causes.
He developed Parkinson’s disease that gradually forced him into less activity. He died of respiratory failure in 2016.

The Bukit Kepong Incident was an armed encounter which took place on February 23, 1950 between the Federation of Malaya Police and the communist terrorists of Malayan Communist Party during the Malayan Emergency. This conflict took place in an area surrounding the Bukit Kepong police station in Bukit Kepong. The wooden station was located on the river bank of the Muar River, about 59 km from Muar town, Johor State.
The incident started just before dawn with the Communists launching a guerrilla assault on the police station leading to the deaths of almost all of the police officers stationed there. When they began the siege, the attackers strongly believed that they would be able to defeat the policemen and gain control of the police station within a short span of time. This is due to several factors in their favour: their arms and numerical superiority and the relative isolation of the station. The battle began at about 4:15 am.
According to eyewitness accounts, there were about 200 Communists attacking, led by Muhammad Indera, a Malay Communist. Despite the odds, the policemen led by Sgt. Jamil Mohd Shah, refused to surrender, although numerous calls by the communists for them to lay down arms were made. Several officers were killed as the shooting continued and two wives of the defending officers took up arms when they discovered that their husbands fell in battle.
Desperate and alarmed at the defenders’ tenacity, the Communists captured one of the officers’ wives and threatened her at gunpoint to urge the policemen to surrender. The defenders replied that they would never surrender and continued fighting. Another wife of the officers (Fatimah Yaaba) and her daughter were also forced to do the same. Their refusal then resulted in their execution.
In the final hours of the fierce battle, the Communists set fire to the officers’ barracks and station. Two women and their children were burnt to death in the married quarters. At that point only 3 policemen plus a village guard were still alive. They rushed out from the burning station, unable to withstand the heat. They then assaulted the Communists position, killing at least 3 of them.
Only about five hours after the first shot was fired did the communists manage to break their defences and set the place ablaze. They then retreated into the jungle.
14 policemen, 4 village guards, 3 auxiliary policemen, wife of Abu Bakar Daud (one of the surviving policemen) and three of their children were killed in the incident. The total number of deaths is 25. Those who survived the bloody encounter are 4 policemen and 9 family members including their wives and children.
During the attack, reinforcement were sent from Kampung Tui as the battle reverberated throughout several of the nearby villages. A band of villagers led by the village chief Ali Mustafa from Kampung Tui was escorted by 13 AP/HG (Auxiliary Police/Home Guard). They were ambushed by the Communists en route about half a kilometre away from the station. The villagers were outgunned by the Communists who were using automatic weapons as opposed to rifles and shotguns held by the villagers. Several village guards were wounded and killed. Although stopped halfway, their presence relieved some pressure of the Bukit Kepong defenders and forced a general Communist retreat.
Due to the numerical superiority of the enemy, Ali Mustafa ordered his guards to retreat while the rest were ordered to defend the perimeter around Bukit Kepong town. The Communists eventually retreated after setting fire to the village government office and robbing a few stores.
At the same time, another village guard group came from Kampung Durian Chondong using a sampan heading towards Bukit Kepong to render aid. On the way, they were also ambushed by the Communists. About half of the 7 villagers in the group survived to continue on to Lenga. They arrived there at 10am and that was when the first news of the attack on Bukit Kepong police station was communicated.
When the village guards entered the village, they were able to observe the aftermath of the attack. The village chief took command of the outpost until relieved by a police team from Muar. The battle at Bukit Kepong is considered to be a tragic defeat although it strengthened the Government’s and people’s resolve to fight the Communist insurgency. A small force defending against overwhelming odds gave the war against Communist insurgency a massive boost in terms of morale and honour. Some drew comparisons between the Bukit Kepong incident and the Alamo, where the Bukit Kepong policemen similar to the Texans came under overwhelming odds and fought to the last man.
