Foto's uit het archief van de voormalige nationale luchtvaartmaatschappij
Sabena, de Société Anonyme Belge d'Exploration de la Navigation Aérienne, wordt opgericht op 23 mei 1923, midden in de roaring twenties.
De luchtvaart staat nog in haar kinderschoenen.
Vluchten naar buurlanden verlopen met meerdere tussenstops.
Slechts 2 jaar later vliegt Sabena, naast tal van andere locaties, reeds naar Congo, waar het vliegtuig hét middel blijkt om de lange afstanden in de toenmalige kolonie te overbruggen.
Het helpt de Belgische staat ook om het immense land beter te besturen.
Maar uiteraard ging dat gepaard met het nodige gevaar, de infrastructuur en techniek van toen waren nog niet die van nu, en dat hield risico's in voor langeafstandsvluchten.
Sommige vluchten gingen noodgedwongen ook boven het dichte oerwoud, wat uiteraard voor nodige adrenaline zorgde.
Op zeven november 2011 zal het een decennium geleden zijn dat een enorme kring Sabeniens zich op de luchthaven van Zaventem rond de laatste Sabenavlucht sloot. Ik bekijk het gebeuren in de vorm van amateurfilmpjes op YouTube en kan zelf de ogen nauwelijks droog houden. De werknemers lachen en hullen tegelijk, scanderen Sa-be-na en vallen elkaar in de armen. De intensiteit van hun afscheid overstijgt de boosheid om de sluiting van de luchtvaartmaatschappij en de angst over de toekomst van hun persoonlijke carrières. Met oprecht verdriet begraven deze mensen een groot stuk Belgische geschiedenis, een gedeelde manier van leven die hen naar eigen zeggen vleugels gaf, een bedrijf waarmee ze zich in die mate identificeerden dat ze zich geen gewone werknemers voelden maar Sabeniens.
Le sept novembre 2011, il y aura dix ans que les Sabeniens ont formé, à l'aéroport de Zaventem, un énorme cercle autour du dernier vol de la Sabena. Je découvre l'événement sur YouTube, sous la forme de films d'amateurs, et j'ai moi-même du mal à retenir mes larmes. Les travailleurs rient et pleurent à la fols, scandent Sa-be-na et se tombent mutuellement dans les bras. L'intensité de leur adieu l'emporte sur la colère suscitée en eux par la fermeture de leur compagnie aérienne et sur leur anxiété quant à l'avenir de leurs carrières personnelles. C'est avec un profond chagrin qu'ils enterrent une grande partie de l'histoire de Belgique, un mode de vie commun qui leur a, de leur propre aveu, donné des ailes, une entreprise à laquelle ils se sont tellement identifiés qu'ils ne se considéraient pas comme de simples travailleurs, mais comme des Sabeniens.

Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali lunges at challenger Joe Frazier during the 10th round of a boxing match in Manila in 1975. Ali won a 14th round TKO over Frazier. October 1, 1975 Manila, Philippines
Muhammad Ali ruled Egypt during the first half of the 19th century and built this mosque in the memory of his eldest son.
Being Ottoman, he didn't appreciate Egypt's treasures so some of the limestone that when into this mosque came from the pyramids. He also gave one of the Luxor obelisks to France (now in the Place de la Concorde).
In the pantheon of sports stars, a few individuals possess transcendent ability and charisma. Through the media, popular culture, and commerce, these larger-than-life stars command worldwide attention. As athletes they inspire imitation. As super-celebrities, they capture the public imagination. As historical figures, they become symbols of their times.
On July 19, 1972, it took Muhammad Ali 11 rounds to defeat Al 'Blue' Lewis at Croke Park, Dublin. A mere footnote in the larger Ali story, this fight against a game ex-convict from Detroit marked the culmination of an extraordinary week in Ireland's sporting and cultural history. From the moment the world's most charismatic athlete touched down at Dublin Airport and announced his maternal great-grandfather Abe Grady had emigrated from County Clare more than a century before, the country was in his thrall and, of course, being Ali - he loved it. It was to be a most extraordinary week for both him and the people he met. Ali was both charming and charmed by those who came to pay homage - among them, the then Taoiseach, Jack Lynch, civil rights campaigner Bernadette Devlin, oscar-winning director John Huston, actor Peter O'Toole and an old lady who invited him into her house for a cup of tea.
Heavyweight champion Joe Frazier (R) punches Muhammed Ali (L) in the 10th round of the title fight at Madison Square Garden. Frazier retained championship via an unanimous decision in the 15th round in 1971. March 8, 1971 Manhattan, New York, New York, USA

Truly a warm kind thoughtful and beloved man by all....I photographed him many times and he laughed sometimes at all the silly photogs (like me) making such a big deal about him.

During the eighteenth century, the cultural center of the state of Awadh (Oudh) was Lucknow. This was where the capital was situated, except during the period 1765-75 when it was transferred to Faizabad. The Mughal empire was in steep decline, and when the governor of Awadh set himself up as an autonomous ruler, providing a relatively stable environment compared to the disarray in Delhi, much of the artistic community of Delhi migrated to Lucknow where the ruling aristocracy became their patrons. There was also a sizeable community of Europeans who became involved in the cultural life of the city, including a French-Swiss colonel Antoine-Louis-Henri Polier. The combination of the Delhi artists (musicians, architects, poets, as well as painters) trained in the classical Mughal traditions, the Awadhi aristocracy, itinerant European artists, and European patrons stimulated the evolution of a new culture. In painting, as in architecture, the focus was on the grand achievements of the Mughals of the preceding century, embellished with fashions and ideas from Europe.A French soldier, Louis Antoine Henri Polier, commissioned an album of calligraphies and paintings from a workshop in Delhi. The Europeanized style of the floral border shows either that the studio specialized in catering to foreigners or that Polier . Polier's album was later presented to Lady Eyre Coote, wife of the Commander of the British Army in India.Two of the verses are from the great mystical love poet Hafiz Nurallah, the author of the poetry in the center panel is unknown. The otherwise uncelebrated calligrapher, Muhammad 'Ali, signed and dated the central panel.This page is from an album of calligraphies and paintings commissioned by Colonel Polier, which was later presented to Lady Eyre Coote, wife of the Commander of the British Army in India. Two of the verses are from the great mystical love poet Hafiz Nurallah; the author of the poetry in the center panel is unknown. The otherwise uncelebrated calligrapher, Muhammad 'Ali, signed and dated the central panel.The verses have been translated He is the Glorifier! My spirit be thy sacrifice, O idol called Abtahi! Disruptive Turk, fervent Persian, seditious Arab, There is no one in the world who has not wondered at thy beauty. -- the sinner, Hafiz Nurallah, may Allah forgive him. He is the Glorifier! To thy threshold came The tip of our desire. If thou shouldst accept (it), Bravo to our good fortune! -- Muhammad 'Ali, 1195 He [is Allah!] If with musky wine my heart is taken, it is right, For from the hypocritical abstinence no sweet scent comes. Do not despair of the blessing of grace, for creation is generous. It forgives sins and grants absolution to lovers. -- the slave (of Allah) Hafiz Nurallah
Muhammad Ali throws out first pitch at the 2004 MLB Baseball All-Star Game in Houston Texas. Don't you just hate it when you get seats in the first section behind homeplate and you have to deal with the foul ball screen :). But I put up with the suffering.

“Fighter’s Heaven”, Muhammad Ali’s Training Camp in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, was the training facility built by Muhammad Ali, where he trained for some of his biggest fights. It is now open to the public, free of charge, to tour.
This 1978 publicity photo of Muhammad Ali was signed for me by him back in '78. Tempus fugit, no?
The signing occurred at Ali's Deer Lake, PA training camp. Dedicated to training for fights, this place displayed all of the Runyanesque qualities of the pugilistic world.
Ali at the time was a complex character....prankster, serious, blowhard, humble, tough in training, but kind to all who visited and to those who worked at the camp. Aloof at times, but sensitive more often than not, his character electrified that, at the time, sleepy area of PA.
Boxing's a great sport, but marred among other things, by it's eternal bete noire, brain damage. I have my doubts about it ever being a "safe" sport, and I pray that I'm wrong about this!
Here's a toast to all of those who have ever laced up the gloves!
