The interior has a measure of 41x41 meters and gives a great feeling of space. The use of two levels of domes gives a much greater sense of space than there actually is. The central dome rises on four arches standing on colossal piers. There are four semicircular domes around the central dome. There are four smaller domes on the corners as well. The domes are painted and embellished with motifs in relief. The walls and pillars are covered with alabaster up to 11 meters high

This set of Ovaltine cups belonged to Karen’s grandmother. During the winter when I visited my grandparents in Grand Valley, Ontario, we always had Ovaltine. I loved it. During my teen years I often asked for malt in my milkshakes at the DQ.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovaltine
Ovaltine is a brand of milk flavoring product made with sugar (except in Switzerland), malt extract, cocoa, and whey. Ovaltine, a registered trademark of Associated British Foods, is made by Wander AG, a subsidiary of Twinings which acquired the brand from Novartis in 2003.
Ovaltine was developed in Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg", and malt, originally its main ingredients).
Ovomaltine was exported to England in 1909; it was a misspelling in the trademark registration process that led to the name being truncated to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets. A factory was built in England for Ovaltine's manufacture, and the English factory exported to the United States as well. By 1915, Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the American market. Originally advertised as consisting solely of "malt, milk, eggs, flavored with cocoa", the formulation has changed over the decades (at one point containing irradiated yeast in the US), and today several different formulations are sold in different parts of the world.
The popular chocolate malt version is a powder-like substance which is mixed with hot or cold milk as a beverage. It is essentially a chocolate drink mix with the addition of malt extract, and sometimes fortified with vitamins. Malt Ovaltine, (a version without cocoa) and Rich Chocolate Ovaltine (a version without malt) are also available in some markets. Ovaltine has also been available in the form of chocolate bars, chocolate Easter eggs, parfait, cookies and breakfast cereals. In the last case, it is the brand name that connects the cereals with the chocolate drink.
Ovaltine also manufactured PDQ Chocolate Flavor Beads, PDQ Choco Chips and Egg Nog Flavored PDQ, which are no longer available. These drink mixes were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Ovaltine discontinued the PDQ products about 1995 or 1996.
The U.S. children's radio series Little Orphan Annie (1931–1940) and Captain Midnight (1938–1949) were sponsored by Ovaltine. They had promotions in which listeners could save proofs-of-purchase from Ovaltine jars to obtain radio premiums, like "secret decoder ring" badges or pins that could be used to decode messages in the program. In the popular family Christmas movie, A Christmas Story Ralphie decodes Little Orphan Annie's secret message only to be disappointed that it was an advertisement for Ovaltine. Kids from the time may remember that "Ovaltine" is an anagram for "Vital One". Villa Park, Illinois, was home to the Ovaltine factory until the company's purchase and withdrawal in 1988.
The Villa Park Historical Society maintains a permanent exhibit of Ovaltine advertising and memorabilia.
In Hong Kong, like Horlicks, Ovaltine is known as a café drink. It is served at cha chaan tengs as well as fast-food shops such as Café de Coral and Maxim's Express. It can be served hot or cold, and ice is added if a cold drink is desired. The powder itself in Hong Kong is sold without added sugar, to be sweetened to taste by the consumer. In Brazil, it is very common to mix it with vanilla ice cream. The Ovomaltine brand is highly recognizable in Switzerland, and Wander managed to associate the brand with skiing and snowboarding in particular.
Ovaltine was also very popular in Britain, and was manufactured at Kings Langley in Hertfordshire. The Arts and Crafts style Ovaltine factory there is a well-known local landmark and listed building. Production ceased in the early 1990s and the factory building is now being redeveloped as apartments. Near the factory was a health farm run by the Ovaltine works which was set up as a model farm and a health resort for disadvantaged children, which operated through to the 1960s. Later, the farm land was sold off and is now largely occupied by the M25 motorway. The Ovaltine Egg Farm is now the site of Renewable Energy Systems Ltd and the site of the first wind turbine visible from the M25.
In October 2002, the food and drinks division of Novartis, the maker of Ovaltine, was bought by Associated British Foods. ABF currently produces Ovaltine in Switzerland, China, Thailand, and the Philippines. In the United States, Nestlé manufactures Ovaltine under license.
In Malaysia, Ovaltine has lost its popularity to Nestlé Milo. Ovaltine is sold in tetra packs for cold serving and widely available in shops and supermarkets, yet it still maintains low profile compared to other beverages in the market. In Japan, Ovaltine was sold for a short period in the late 1970s by Calpis Industries (presently Calpis Co., Ltd.), but it was not a commercial success. Ovalteenies are round sweets made of compressed Ovaltine.
Brazilian fast food chain Bob's offers both milkshakes and sundaes made with Ovaltine.
The television series Seinfeld makes several references to Ovaltine. Notably, it is a common subject of the stand-up comedy of character Kenny Bania. In one episode, Jerry Seinfeld (character) suggests that the product should be called "Roundtine" because it comes in a round container.
The drink also appears in the Bollywood movie Pestonjee (1988), where it happens to be the favorite drink of the titular character, Pestonjee.
In the movie, A Christmas Story, Ralphie Parker gets a Little Orphan Annie Secret decoder ring. He is "ripped off" because the first thing he decodes is an Ovaltine Radio commercial.

Patron: Muhammad 'Ali (Muhammad 'Ali Pasha al-Mas'ud ibn Agha) 1769-1849, Albanian Ottoman governor & de facto ruler of Egypt (r.1805-1848).
Ibrahim Pasha (Kavalalı İbrahim Paşa) 1789-1848, eldest son of Muhammad Ali, Wāli & unrecognised Khedive of Egypt & Sudan (r.1848).
Muhammad Ali, the eloquent, colorful, controversial and brilliant three-time heavyweight boxing champion who was known as much for his social conscience and staunch opposition to the Vietnam War as for his dazzling boxing skills, died Friday. The sports world and the whole world will mourn the passing of "The Greatest". This is my papercut portrait tribute to "the Greatest".

"Thirst; it is the same feeling for all. We are not the only one who suffer the consequences of our mistakes. Remember the earth not only ours but for all the life on earth. Save the Earth; Save ourselves."

The Temple of Luxor was built mostly by Amenhotep III and embellished by later kings including Tutankhamun and Alexander the Great, but the most significant additions were made by Rameses II. These include the entrance pylon with its battle scenes of the Battle of Kadesh and six statues of himself, with four standing and the two nearest the entrance sitting (the Egyptian Archaeological Mission restored two statues of King Rameses in 2017 and 2018; one remains missing).
The base of the obelisk has baboons admiring the rising sun. Its sister obelisk was given by Muhammed Ali (generally acknowledged as the founder of modern Egypt) to the French. It has been displayed in the Place de la Concorde in Paris since 1836.
Rameses ll was the son of Seti I and Queen Tuya. As he lived until he was 96 years old, plenty of his statues survived. He had over 200 wives and concubines, and had 96 sons and 60 daughters.

I've never been one to feign over rock stars, sports figures or movie stars and the like. Ali was the exception. From his Olympic Gold Medals to the lighting of the Olympic torch, I kinda grew up with this man. Dad admired his boxing skills while Mom admired his convictions. I admired both. He wasn't perfect. I didn't always agree with everything he said and did. But in the end, a gentle giant who devoted his life to peace and helping those less fortunate. He'll always be my hero and he'll always be
THE GREATEST.
And to the kid who stole his bike..."Thanks".
RIP boxing legends!

Casi cuadrado (de 54 metros por 53), tiene piso de mármol y está rodeado por arcadas redondeadas que soportan pequeñas cúpulas mediante grandes columnas de mármol, como en las mezquitas de Solimán Pasha y Malika Safiyya.
En medio del patio se encuentra la fuente de las abluciones. Es de forma octogonal y está cubierta por una cúpula de mármol y una cúpula de madera exterior, apoyada en ocho columnas de mármol y rematada por una marquesina de madera. La superficie interna de la cúpula de madera está decorada con pinturas de paisajes en estilo barroco.
En las fuentes de las abluciones es donde los musulmanes se purifican por medio del agua antes de cada una de las cinco oraciones diarias.
En el centro de la fachada oeste del patio se encuentra una pequeña torre hecha en cobre perforado que alberga el reloj obsequiado por el rey Luis Felipe de Francia a Muhammad Ali en 1846, a cambio de uno de los dos obeliscos que se erigían en la entrada del templo de Amón en Luxor, y ubicado hoy día en la Plaza de la Concorde, en París. Dicho reloj resultó dañado durante su instalación y nunca llegó a funcionar.
This is a J. Arthur Dixon postcard printed in Great Britain, it shows the nighttime view of Piccadilly Circus looking north towards Shaftesbury Avenue. Under the Coca-Cola sign, the film “The Dirty Dozen” is being advertised. This space had been used to advertise films showing at the Leicester Square Theatre or the Empire in Leicester Square but in this case, it is an advertisement indicating that the film was being re-released all over London. This is November 1969 and it is having a second bite of the cherry, it was originally released in September 1967 and played at the Leicester Square Theatre until the end of October. The film starred Lee Marvin and a host of Hollywood stars including Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine, Clint Walker and Robert Ryan, it is still shown on TV at regular intervals. Clint Walker unfortunately died in May this year, he played “Posie” in the film but will always be remembered as “Cheyenne Bodie” in the TV Western series “Cheyenne” from the early 1960s. The film was shot in England at locations just north of London in the summer of 1966, during a lull in shooting the cast received a visit from Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali who was in England to fight Brian London whom he dispatched in the third round. The boxer also took time to visit my old school, Tulse Hill Comprehensive in 1974 on his way back to the US after the "Rumble in the Jungle" where he was made an Honorary Governor. There is a sign over the Coca-Cola sign advertising, rather appropriately, three rum brands produced by United Rum Merchants. The company had formed in 1946 after the company of “Portal, Dingwall and Norris” invited two other rum importing companies to share their premises at 40 Eastcheap after “Alfred Lamb & Sons" and “White Keeling Rum Merchants” were bombed out of their buildings during the blitz, this sharing of premises inspired the formation of United Rum Merchants in 1946. The company of “Alfred Lamb & Sons” had been formed in 1849 and began to import Jamaican Rum and at one time had the contract to supply the Royal Navy, as did “Lemon Hart & Co”, they provided 100,000 gallons of Rum annually during the 1840s. The Hart family were German Jews, Abraham Hart arrived in Penzance during the early 18th Century, he was a Goldsmith by trade, but he acquired other business interests which led him to the West Indies Rum trade, but it was his Grandson, Lemon Hart who established the company and lent his name to a brand of Rum before being taken over by “Portal, Dingwall and Norris”. I’d like to think that “White Keeling Rum Merchants” produced Daiquiri Rum but it may have been a product of the new company in order to cash in on the popularity of the Daiquiri cocktail.

The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
Built between 1830 and 1848, the long time it took to complete this monument may be due to its size, gigantic by Cairo's architectural standards. That, combined with its prominent location and its profile of domes flanked by a pair of slender high minarets, contribute to its prestige. The Egyptians themselves place a great deal of pride in this monument.
The pencil shaped minarets, over eighty meters high, stand on bases only three meters wide. Though the architecture of the mosque is entirely Ottoman, the domes are, relative to their width, higher and less squat than those in Istanbul..Taken @Cairo, Egypt
