He was on my mom's flight from Atlanta to Denver tonight. A lady next to be just about freaked out when she saw him coming out of the gate. This is when we were at baggage claim. I didn't believe it until I saw other people snapping pictures with their cell phones, too.
Founder of the Grameen Bank, the world’s largest and most successful microcredit institution, Muhammad Yunus was born in one of the poorest places on earth, the country (then part of Pakistan) of Bangladesh. As a professor of economics, he was struck by the discrepancy between the economic theory taught in universities and the abject poverty around him. Recognizing the poor remained poor because they had no access to capital, no collateral for loans, and borrowing requirements so modest that it was not cost-effective for large banks to process their needs, Yunus started experimenting with small collateral-free loans to landless rural peasants and impoverished women. In 1983, he founded the Grameen Bank.

Patron, 1897: 'Abbas Hilmi II (ʿAbbās Ḥilmī Pāshā) 1874-1944, great-great grandson of Muhammad 'Ali & son of Tewfik Pasha, Khedive (Ottoman viceroy) of Egypt & Sudan, (r.1892-1914).
This is the last of a series of mosques built on this site around the tomb of Sayyida Nafisa, the great-granddaughter of Hasan, son of 'Ali. She was born in Mecca, raised in Medina & came to Cairo in 809 where she lived in a house on this site. After her death, 'Ubayd Allah Sari built a tomb over her grave and the Fatimid Caliph al-Mustansir turned it into a mashhad in 1089; this was repaired by al-Hafiz in 1138. Sultan Baybars also built in the precinct and a new mosque was raised by al-Nasir Muhammad. Much reconstruction was undertaken in 1760 by 'Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda. In 1892 most of the mosque was burnt in a great fire and 'Abbas Hilmi II ordered a complete rebuilding between 1893-97. Extensions were added in the late 1980s, and again in the late 1990s.
Sayyida Nafisa (As-Sayyidah Nafīsah bint Amīr al-Muʾminīn Al-Ḥasan al-Anwar ibn Zayd al-Ablaj ibn Al-Hasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib al-ʿAlawiyyah al-Ḥasaniyyah c.762-830), was a female descendant of the prophet Muhammad, and a scholar and teacher of Islam. Having taught Sunni Imam Muhammad ibn Idris ash-Shafi'i, the father of the Shafi'i school of Sunni law. She is the best known female scholar of hadith in Egypt.
Hasan: al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib 625-670, the firstborn son of 'Ali and Fatima, and a grandson of the prophet Muhammad.
'Ali: ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib c.600-661, a cousin, son-in-law & companion of the Prophet Muhammad. He was the fourth rightly guided caliph (r.656-661, assassinated).
'Ubayd Allah Sari: d.820, governor of Egypt (r.816 & 817-820) for the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad
al-Mustansir Billah: Abū Tamīm Ma‘ad al-Mustanṣir bi-llāh, The Asker Of Victory From God 1029-1094, son of al-Zāhir li-iʿzāz Dīn Allāh; Fatimid Caliph (r.1036–1094).
al-Hafiz: al-Ḥāfiẓ li-Dīn Allāh (Abu'l-Maymūn ʿAbd al-Majīd ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Mustanṣir) 1074/5 or 1075/6-1149; Fatimid Caliph (r.1130–1149).
al-Nasir Muhammad: al-Malik al-Nasir Nasir al-Din Muhammad ibn Qalawun or al-Nasir Muhammad or Abu al-Ma'ali, al-Nasir Muhammad, Abu al-Ma'ali, or Ibn Qalawun) 1285-1341, Bahri Mamluk sultan of Egypt & Syria (r.1293–1294, 1299-1309 & 1310-1341).
'Abd al-Rahman Katkhuda:ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Katkhudā ibn Husayn Jawish al-Qardughli c.1715–1776, prominent Ottoman emir & a leading officer of the Cairo Janissaries.

A Brief History: The culmination of my long efforts of York College-Muhammad Yunus Scholarship was a meeting between Dr. Yunus and Prof. Posman in September 2007—at Hotel Sheraton, New York. That encounter solidified both the concept and support of the program. This, in turn, led to a major event at York College in February, 2008, where Dr. Yunus addressed the York college community and interested visitors. It was an exceptional experience for all involved.

Mosque of Muhammad Ali of (or Mohamed Ali Pasha), which was built between 1828 and 1848, perched on the summit of the citadel.
Muhammad Ali (* 17. Januar 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky als Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.) ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Boxer. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schwergewichtsboxer aller Zeiten und herausragender Athlet des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 1999 wurde er vom Internationalen Olympischen Komitee zum „Sportler des Jahrhunderts“ gewählt. Auch außerhalb des Boxrings sorgte Ali für Schlagzeilen. So lehnte er öffentlich den Vietnamkrieg ab, verweigerte den Wehrdienst und unterstützte die Emanzipationsbewegung der Afroamerikaner in den 1960er Jahren.

Cleopatra's Needle
Cleopatra's Needle is one of a pair of obelisks that were moved from the ruins of the Caesareum of Alexandria, in Egypt, in the 19th century. It was presented to the United Kingdom in 1819 by the ruler of Egypt and Sudan Muhammad Ali, in commemoration of the victories of Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile and Sir Ralph Abercromby at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801.
Although the British government welcomed the gesture, it declined to pay to move the obelisk to London.
The obelisk remained in Alexandria until 1877 when Sir William James Erasmus Wilson, a distinguished anatomist and dermatologist, sponsored its transportation to London from Alexandria at a cost of some £10,000 (equivalent to over £1,000,000 in 2020).
it was dug out of the sand in which it had been buried for nearly 2,000 years, and was encased in a great iron cylinder, 92 feet (28 metres) long and 16 feet (4.9 metres) in diameter. It was built at the Thames Iron Works, shipped to Alexandria in separate pieces, and built around the obelisk.
The cylinder, named the Cleopatra, had a vertical stem and stern, a rudder, two bilge keels, a mast for balancing sails, and a deck house. It acted as a floating pontoon which was to be towed to London by the ship Olga.
The effort almost met with disaster on the 14th. October 1877, in a storm in the Bay of Biscay, when Cleopatra began wildly rolling, and became uncontrollable. The Olga sent out a rescue boat with six volunteers, but the boat capsized, and all six crew were lost – they are named on a bronze plaque attached to the foot of the needle's mounting stone.
Captain Booth of the Olga eventually managed to get his ship next to Cleopatra and rescued the six men on board it. Booth reported the Cleopatra "abandoned and sinking", but she stayed afloat, drifting in the Bay, until found four days later by Spanish trawler boats.
Cleopatra was then rescued by the Glasgow steamer Fitzmaurice and taken to Ferrol in Spain for repairs. The Master of the Fitzmaurice lodged a salvage claim of £5,000 which had to be settled before departure from Ferrol, but it was negotiated down and settled for £2,000.
The paddle tug Anglia, under the command of Captain David Glue, was then commissioned to tow the Cleopatra back to the Thames. Upon their arrival in the estuary on the 21st. January 1878, the school children of Gravesend were given the day off.
A wooden model of the obelisk had previously been placed outside the Houses of Parliament, but the location had been rejected, so the London needle was finally erected on the Victoria Embankment on the 12th. September 1878.
On the 4th. September 1917, during the Great War, a bomb from a German air raid landed near the needle. In commemoration of this event, the damage remains unrepaired to this day, and is clearly visible in the form of shrapnel holes and gouges on one of the sphinxes flanking the needle.
Restoration work was carried out in 2005.
Shell Mex House
Shell Mex House, also known as 80 Strand, is a Grade II listed building located at number 80 Strand in London.
The building was opened in 1932 on the site of the Hotel Cecil, and stands behind the original façade of the hotel, between the Adelphi building and the Savoy Hotel. Broadly Art Deco in style, it was designed by Frances Milton Cashmore of the architectural firm of Messrs Joseph.
Standing 58 m (190 ft) tall, with 537,000 sq. ft (49,900 m2) of floor space, Shell Mex House has 12 floors (plus basement and sub-basement) and is immediately recognisable from the River Thames and the South Bank by the clock positioned on the south side of the building.
The clock is flanked by four large, hieratic marble figures at the south corners sculpted by William Charles Holland King.
The clock, which was known for a time as "Big Benzene", has the largest clock face in the UK, at 7.62 metres in diameter, just 0.02 metres more than the clocks on the Liver Building in Liverpool; it was supplied by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon.
The building faces the river and the Strand. It was described by architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as:
"Thoroughly unsubtle, but it holds
its own in London's river front."
The building was for many years the London headquarters of Shell-Mex & BP, for which it was built. Shell-Mex & BP was a joint venture company created by Shell and British Petroleum in 1932, when they decided to merge their United Kingdom marketing operations.
Upon the UK marketing separation of Shell and BP in 1976, Shell Mex House became the head office of Shell UK, which was Shell's UK operating company. Changes in the way that Shell was run in the 1990's led to the disposal of the property by Shell. Today, simply known as 80 Strand, most of its floors are occupied by companies belonging to Pearson plc.
The entrance to the building, which is set back from the Strand, is through a large gated archway. A green plaque was affixed to the wall just inside the gate in March 2008, proclaiming:
"The Royal Air Force was formed and
had its first headquarters here in the
former Hotel Cecil 1st. April 1918".
Below it is a brass plate stating:
"This plaque was unveiled by the Chief
of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sir Glenn
Torpy to mark the 90th. anniversary of the
formation of the Royal Air Force".
During World War II, the building became home to the Ministry of Supply, which co-ordinated the supply of equipment to the national armed forces. It was also the home of the Petroleum Board, which handled the distribution of petroleum products during the war. The building was badly damaged by a bomb in 1940.
The building reverted to Shell-Mex & BP on the 1st. July 1948, with a number of floors remaining occupied by the Ministry of Aviation (latterly the Board of Trade, Civil Aviation Division) until the mid-1970's.
During this time, until the department's move to its present location in Farnborough, the building was also the headquarters for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
On the 17th. May 2006, The Times reported that the building was for sale, and that the Indian-Kenyan Kandhari family was the front-runner in the battle to buy it from the existing owners, Vincent and Robert Tchenguiz.
The Kandharis were said to have offered £530 million for the building, but they were competing with other interested groups, including Menorah, the Israeli insurer, an Irish company, and several British companies.
An offer believed to be for £520 million was made in December 2006 by Istithmar, the investment agency of the Dubai government, which withdrew its offer before completion. The property was subsequently sold in July 2007 to a fund managed by Westbrook Partners for £988 million.
Muhammad was my special host during our recent work project in N. Africa. I discovered near week's end that we were the same age, which amazed me. He took special interest in my well being during the project. As I seemed to be wilting under the afternoon heat he would find a shady place under a tree and lay out a mat for me to rest. We did not speak each other's language but in a way we did...if that makes sense. He was very kind, helped us learn a few expressions, crushed fresh almonds for us to eat, poured mint tea and was overall the elder host of our team.
