Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.
The hands can't hit
what the eyes can't see.
Muhammad Ali 17/01/1942 - 03/06/2016
Tonight while testing out a new tool, I found myself channelling the man 'The Greatest'. With only a minute fraction of his grace, I felt light on my feet bobbing around, moving constantly, then bam left jab!

Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.; January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016) was an American professional boxer and activist. He was widely regarded as one of the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the 20th century.

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.

A couple enjoys a burger at The Burger Joint in Palmero, Buenos Aires. The Burger Joint apparently was named 13 best international burger, or something like that, a few years ago by the Huffington Post. It was a good burger, no doubt - but no way is it the 13th best burger in the world - just further proof that HuffPo is a propaganda rag that should be ignored.

The courtyard has a northern and southern entrance from the mosque. In the middle of the courtyard is a marble ablution fountain with a carved wooden roof on columns. The fountain is lavishly decorated in a style similar to that of the sabil-kuttab facing the madrasa of al-Nasir on Mu'izz street. That structure was built by Ismail Pasha in 1828. The sabil and the upper part of the courtyard facade are decorated with small oval wall paintings on which Mediterranean landscapes are represented

On the west wall of the courtyard is an iron clock, presented to Muhammad Ali by the French King Louis Philippe, with a tea salon on the upper level. Its style is a mixture of neo-gothic and oriental elements. It has never worked, and probably never will. The clock, given as a gift in exchange for the obelisk now in the Palace de la Concorde, Paris, somehow does not seem to be out of place, even though by all rights it should be. Perhaps this is due to the other European influences in the mosque, or that it's colors are well coordinated with other decorations nearby

The courtyard, as at the mosques of Sulayman Pasha and Malika Safiyya, is surrounded by rounded arcades carrying small domes. These domes are supported by large, though relatively simple marble columns. The courtyard is almost square, measuring 54 by 53 meters. The courtyard has a northern and southern entrance from the mosque. In the middle of the courtyard is a marble ablution fountain with a carved wooden roof on columns. The fountain is lavishly decorated in a style similar to that of the sabil-kuttab facing the madrasa of al-Nasir on Mu'izz street. That structure was built by Ismail Pasha in 1828.

Last novel read in 2014 and first finished in 2015 (it took a long time). It begins with a miniaturist painter in Istanbul, murdered by a colleague, and ends with the death of figurative art in the Ottoman empire under Sultan Ahmet I. The depiction of horses is a key point in discovering the identity of the murderer, so I have added some details from various miniaturists. The book has helped me see these with different eyes.
16th c: 1 Firdousi; 2 Nizami; 3 Muzzafar Ali; 4 Muhammad Ali (India)
17th c: Ali Quli Jabbadar (Iran), showing the Venetian (Frankish/European) influence in his painting of shepherds.
The last three paintings are from the private collection of Sadruddin Aga Khan, published in the book Princes, Poètes et Paladins by Sheila R. Canby, and the first two from La Guirlande de l'Iran, Flammarion.
