wisdom 40 Memorable Quotes Of Ex-World Heavyweight Champion, Muhammed Ali [1942 – 2016]

Muhammad Ali Taunted Opponents With Razor-sharp Rhymes, Comical One-liners And The Type Of Boxing Braggadocio That Both Endeared Him To And Angered The Masses.

Ali was a loudmouth threat to the establishment. Muhammad Ali could make heavyweight rivals Joe Frazier, Sonny Liston and George Foreman feel like unwitting participants at their own roast. He was king of the world and a clown prince, who fought for both championships and his rights as a conscientious objector.

Muhammad Ali mouth roared, never bored, with wit as sharp as a sword, who went full bore into each fight with a silver tongue and heavyweight gold.

No one could say it better than Ali.

Below are some of his quotes:

1. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. His hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see. Now you see me, now you don’t. George thinks he will, but I know he won’t.

2. “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

3. “I’m young; I’m handsome; I’m fast. I can’t possibly be beat.”

4. “Don’t count the days; make the days count.”

5. “If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it—then I can achieve it.”

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it—then I can achieve it.” #MuhammadAlipic.twitter.com/9R2nQXH193

6. “It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am.”

7. “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.”

8. “If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.”

9. “Braggin’ is when a person says something and can’t do it. I do what I say.”

10. “I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.”

11. “Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.”

12. “I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.”

13. “I should be a postage stamp. That’s the only way I’ll ever get licked.”

14. “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

15. “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

16. “A man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.”

17. “If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.”

18. “I shook up the world. Me! Whee!”

19. “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’”

20. “At home I am a nice guy: but I don’t want the world to know. Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far.”

21. “A man who has no imagination has no wings.”

22. “He’s (Sonny Liston) too ugly to be the world champ. The world champ should be pretty like me!”

23. “I am the astronaut of boxing. Joe Louis and Dempsey were just jet pilots. I’m in a world of my own.”

24. “I’ve wrestled with alligators. I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning. And throw thunder in jail.”

25. “Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.”

“How tall are you? So I can know in advance how far to step back when you fall down!” #MuhammadAlipic.twitter.com/8rrmqL1fUP
— Muhammad Ali (@MuhammadAli) April 6, 2016
26. “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.”

27. “I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.”

28. “It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.”

29. “I’m not the greatest, I’m the double greatest.”

30. “Live everyday as if it were your last because someday you’re going to be right.”

31. “When will they ever have another fighter who writes poems, predicts rounds, beats everybody, makes people laugh, makes people cry, and is as tall and extra pretty as me?

40.”The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights.”

41.”I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.”

Nigerian Quadruplets Become UK’s 1st To Simultaneously Graduate With Masters Degrees

Graduating from university is normally an occasion for a family get-together.

And this was certainly a big celebration for the Ogunsanya quadruplets who were handed their well-deserved degrees from the same university on the same day.



The 23-year-old quads, identical sisters and the oldest by four minutes, Toks and Temi Ogunsanya, and identical brothers, Tobi and Tolu, graduated from Warwick University with Master Degrees.




Quadriple grads

Fabulous foursome! (Left to right) Tolu, Toks, Temi and Tobi have walked away with degrees and City jobs

And there was not a jot of sibling rivalry as all four have landed jobs in the City already.

Toks graduated with an MEng in manufacturing and engineering and Temi, Tobi and Tolu all gained an MSC in management from Warwick Business School.

‘The fact we all chose to study at the University of Warwick was a natural decision,’ says Tobi, who thinks a bit of sibling rivalry is essential for success.

‘We are a close-knit family and were all attracted by the strength of the courses on offer.

Quadriple 2

Quite brilliant quads: The foursome, originally from Nigeria, all went to boarding school before heading to Warwick University

‘We all gravitated to similar courses because we’ve always been interested in business and management and our father is a successful businessman in Nigeria.’

The quads, originally from Lagos, Nigeria, have been living in the UK since the age of seven when they began boarding schools. Since leaving university they have all landed top city jobs.

Quadriple 3

No sibling rivalry: The brothers and sisters are so close they were even attracted to the same sort of courses

Toks is due to started working for RBS in London after graduation, Temi, who interned at Santander over the summer, has been offered a permanent position with the bank, and Tolu soon strated working for one of the ‘Big 4’ accountancy firms in the City.

‘Our parents are four times as proud of us,’ added Tobi, who is mulling over two offers from two major City firms.

‘They’ve supported us financially and have encouraged us all the way – without their help we wouldn’t be here today.’

A battle over the future of movies Now playing in Hollywood

NEW YORK (AP) — Now playing in Hollywood: A battle over the future of the movie business, starring some of its most famous filmmakers. The Screening Room, a startup backed by Napster co-founder Sean Parker and music executive Prem Akkaraju, has sent tremors through the movie industry since word of its ambitions were first reported Saturday. Parker and company are seeking to upend the theatrical model and bring first-run films, through a $150 encrypted set-box, directly into the home for $50 a pop.

March 17, 2016 The service has the support of some major filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson and J.J. Abrams, but its existence depends on the cooperation of studios and exhibitors — and that appears unlikely.

Yet the Screening Room has thrown Hollywood into something resembling an existential crisis, with round-the-clock debate about its prospects that has pitted some of the movies' biggest names against each other. Is this the meteor headed straight for the big screen, or is it — like previous efforts — nothing but a storm of hype that will sail past?
"It frightens me," Tim League, chief executive of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the Texas-based theater chain, said of the Screening Room. "What I'm afraid of is that chasing short-term additional revenue might open up a situation where piracy really hurts the entire industry."
And the industry, he says, is thriving. "We're in the business of getting out of the house," says League. Whether the Screening Room succeeds or not, it has added to a growing sense that the traditional theatrical model will one day fall, a casualty-in-waiting of an increasingly digital and instantaneous media world.
But such prophecy doesn't account for some economic realities: Box office in North America, alone, was a record $11 billion last year. Despite a growing horde of barbarians at the gate — Netflix among them — the theatrical release window has held so far. The marketing splash of a theatrical release continues to drive the industry's revenues — and not just at the box office, but through merchandising and subsequent windows of release.
Yet some see a chance to profit more from those who prefer to stay home. According to the Motion Picture Association, 11 percent of the U.S. population qualifies as regular moviegoers (going 18 times a year), and they make up half of box-office receipts. The Screening Room is aimed at the couches of the other 89 percent.
Jackson said the Screening Room — which is proposing to split revenues between studios, theater operators and itself — is "designed to capture an audience that does not currently go to the cinema." But many of the filmmakers speaking out for the service (including Ron Howard and Brian Grazer) are advisers or shareholders. Others without a financial stake, such as James Cameron and Christopher Nolan, have denounced it as a misguided effort that will devalue the big-screen experience.
The six major studios declined to comment about the Screening Room. But numerous interviews with studio executives, who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter, described the presentation by Parker and Akkaraju (a former SFX Entertainment executive) as polished and interesting enough to warrant consideration, but said the service was doubtful to gain studio participation.
Major theater chains, which split box-office revenue with distributors, were also courted by the Screening Room, which proposes to give them a hefty cut of each $50 rental. The two largest chains, AMC Theaters and Regal Cinemas, declined to comment. Mark Zoradi, chief executive of the third largest chain, Cinemark, said "any day-and-date propositions must be critically evaluated to avoid the devaluation of the exhibition window and all subsequent revenue streams of our content providers."
The National Organization of Theater Owners, a trade organization, acknowledged that "more sophisticated window modeling may be needed for the growing success of a modern movie industry." But NATO added that such changes should be developed by distributors and exhibitors — the traditional twin powers of the movie industry — "not by a third party."
Nevertheless, the stir caused by the Screening Room promises to be the all-consuming topic at NATO's annual convention, Cinema-Con, in Las Vegas in April. Some studios and even exhibitors may want to hedge their dependence on theaters, where all but the most prepackaged blockbusters often struggle to find audiences. Paramount Pictures has recently experimented with a shorter theatrical window (usually 90 days) for a pair of low-budget horror films: "Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" and the fifth "Paranormal Activity." Neither performed well, however, nor did the improvised day-and-date release of Sony's "The Interview."
But for the first time, the question of theatrical release isn't just up to studios and exhibitors. Netflix has been aggressively buying up new movies for its streaming service, though it's had difficulty getting them into theaters. Many simply refuse to screen day-and-date releases. To play last year's "Beasts of No Nation" in theaters, Netflix had to "four-wall" some theaters, buying up the tickets themselves.
The latest upstart, Amazon Studios, has taken a different tact, however. It has embraced theatrical releases for its films, happy to simply add the movies to its streaming offerings after a run in cinemas.

Star Wars' becomes

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Move over, "Avatar," there's a new force in town. In just 20 days in theaters, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has unseated the James Cameron pic as the No. 1 North American movie of all time.

January 06, 2016 According to Disney, J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars" earned enough on Wednesday to pass "Avatar's" $760.5 million lifetime gross. As of Tuesday, the film was just shy of the record at $758.2 million. The worldwide record still belongs to "Avatar," though, and that may continue. "The Force Awakens" has earned $1.6 billion to date, as compared to "Avatar's" $2.8 billion.

Death toll in Japan twin quakes rises to 39 The Latest

MASHIKI, Japan (AP) — The latest on the earthquakes in Japan (all times local): 9:50 p.m. Japanese media say the death toll from the two earthquakes in southern Japan has risen to 39. Kyodo News agency, citing officials in Kumamoto prefecture, says 30 people died in the magnitude-7.3 quake that struck early Saturday morning. The other victims died in the magnitude-6.5 quake on Thursday night.

(Kyodo News via AP) JAPAN OUT, MANDATORY CREDIT

April 16, 2016 Officials had said earlier Saturday that 10 had died in Thursday's quake and 22 in Saturday's. Kyodo says four people remain missing in Minamiaso. The village near Mount Aso volcano appears to have been the hardest hit by the second earthquake.

7:05 p.m.

Hundreds of people have lined up for rations at shelters before nightfall, bracing for rainfall and strong winds that may set off more devastating mudslides in Japan's earthquake-struck southern region.

Local stores quickly ran out of stock and shuttered their doors Saturday, and people said they were worried about running out of food.

Ayuko Sakamoto, who was among those in line for the food, said: "I could hear the noise of all my dishes come crashing down, the rattling, and I was shocked and sad, now I've lost all my dishes."

Elsewhere on the southwestern island of Kyushu, the military also cooked rice and soup outdoors for those who had evacuated or were not able to cook in their homes.

Back-to-back deadly earthquakes on successive nights near the city of Kumamoto toppled buildings, triggered landslides and killed at least 32 people.

4 p.m.

Among the buildings destroyed in Japan's twin earthquakes are parts of the historic Aso Shrine, a picturesque complex with a number of buildings with curved tiled roofs, some of which were flattened on the ground.

A towering gate, known as the "cherry blossom gate" because of its grandeur especially during spring, when cherry trees bloom, had collapsed and is totally damaged.

The shrine, more than 1,700 years old, is designated an "important cultural property" by the Japanese government, and has been a popular tourist spot in Kyushu.

3:30 p.m.

One massive landslide from Japan's deadly earthquakes tore open a mountainside in Minamiaso village in Kunamato Prefecture all the way from the top to a highway below, destroying a key bridge that could cut off food and other relief transport to the worst hit area.

A trail of brown earth streamed down the hillside like a muddy river.

Another landslide gnawed at a highway, collapsing a house that fell down a ravine and smashed at the bottom. In another part of the village, houses were left hanging precariously at the edge of a huge hole cut open in the earth.

2:50 p.m.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has expressed concerns about secondary disasters as the weather forecast for southwestern Kyushu is showing rain and strong winds later Saturday.

Rainfall can set off mudslides because the soil has already been loosened by quake jitters.

Abe say "daytime today is the big test," for rescue efforts.

Landslides have already cut off roads and destroyed bridges, imperiling rescue and relief efforts.

At least 29 people have been confirmed dead in two powerful earthquakes that struck southern Kyushu island on Thursday evening and early Saturday, and many more are trapped underneath fallen homes.

12:40 p.m.

Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga says 1,500 people have been injured, 80 of them seriously, in twin earthquakes on southern Kyushu island.

Suga did not mention the death toll, which local officials put at 29, saying the numbers are likely to rise.

He says the military will be boosted to 20,000 for rescue efforts. Police and firefighters are also being ordered to the southwestern region.

In a nationally televised news conference, Suga asked people not to panic.

He says: "Please let's help each other and stay calm."

12:30 p.m.

Japanese media are reporting the eruption of Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan located on Kyushu island where twin earthquakes killed at least 29 people, buried houses and set off landslides.

That's the first eruption in a month.

Smoke is rising about 100 meters (328 feet) in the air, but no damage has been reported.

It's not immediately clear if there's a link the seismic activity and the eruption.

Aso is 1,592 meters (5,223 feet) high and consists of five peaks. It's about 1 ½ hour drive from Kumamoto Prefecture, the epicenter of the quakes.

Noon

A Japanese official says the death toll in the second earthquake to hit southern Kyushu island early Saturday has risen to 19.

That's in addition to 10 people killed in Thursday's magnitude-6.5 quake.

10:10 a.m.

A fresh earthquake measuring 5.4 has hit southern Kyushu island on Saturday morning, following a 7.3-magnitude quake that killed at least six people overnight.

Kumamoto Prefectural official Tomoyuki Tanaka says the death toll is still unclear, with the fire department reporting a higher number of at least seven.

More than 400 people are reported injured.

Japanese TV news footage showed collapsed and flattened houses, and said people are trapped in buildings.

The Japan Meteorological Agency gave a preliminary reading of magnitude-7.3 for the temblor that struck early Saturday. A magnitude-6.5 quake struck late Thursday, killing 10 people. Aftershocks are rattling various areas in Kyushu, one of Japan's main four islands.

9:50 a.m.

Police in southern Japan say the second earthquake that struck the same region in 24 hours has killed at least six people.

The magnitude-7.3 quake shook the Kumamoto region at 1:25 a.m. Saturday. On Thursday night, the area was hit by a magnitude-6.5 quake that left 10 dead and more than 800 injured.

Room VOD debate heats up Sean Parker plays coy as Screening

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The spotlight was on Sean Parker and the Screening Room at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this past week, but while the nation's theater owners and studio executives mulled the implications of the proposed at-home viewing service, Parker played coy.

April 16, 2016 When The Associated Press asked Parker about his latest venture at the Wednesday launch of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy in Los Angeles, the Napster co-founder said with a laugh: "I don't even know what that is."

His glibness about the revolutionary service, which would stream first-run films to the home at $50 a pop, thus blowing up Hollywood's traditional model of theatrical exclusivity, came at an interesting time. It was the middle of CinemaCon, where the overriding message was that Hollywood is still very committed to the idea of the theatrical experience.
CinemaCon, a gathering of theater owners, exhibitors and industry types whose livelihoods depend on box office, has always been a brazen celebration of the movie theater. During the week-long conference each year, major studios typically trot out big stars and exclusive footage of upcoming films, and technology providers roll out their latest and greatest innovations in sound, screen and immersive experiences.
The death of the cinema comes up every so often, too, whether it's television, VHS, smart phones or streaming services. This year, Screening Room was the threat du jour. Most studio heads and filmmakers at CinemaCon spoke about the Screening Room in broad, vaguely hostile strokes. "Avatar" director James Cameron was one of the few to address the initiative by name.
"Regardless of what the folks associated with the Screening Room say, I think it's absolutely essential for movies to be offered exclusively in theaters upon initial release," Cameron said on Thursday. "My producing partner Jon Landau and I are committed to the sanctity of the in-theater experience. And that's creatively and from a business standpoint."
Yet most chose to address the proposal indirectly, like Warner Bros. Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara, who told exhibitors "we are not going to let a third party or middle man come between us." "When there are new technologies," he added, "we will explore them with each of you. We know the status quo is not an option."
"Hangover" director Todd Phillips spoke more sentimentally about the preservation of theatrical exclusivity. "Why are we in such a rush to turn movies into television? It doesn't make sense to me. Movies are special," Phillips said. "We need to do everything we can to protect that part of the experience."
Even execs for Amazon Studios, an emerging producer of digital content and a newcomer at the conference this year, stressed that traditional theatrical releases were planned for most of their feature-length films.
But there was hardly a consensus at CinemaCon, even among some of cinema's most influential voices. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams and veteran producer Frank Marshall ("Jurassic World," ''Indiana Jones") both urged theater owners to be open minded about the technology.
Back in Los Angeles, at Parker's event Wednesday, "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson, a Screening Room backer, stressed that the service is not meant to detract people from going to theaters, but to add audiences.
"The idea of screening room is to try to make movies exist for the people who don't go to the cinema," Jackson said. "If we can try to get that added to the box office of films, that means the films are more successful, which means more films get made and a wider variety of films get made."
"Theater owners should not be concerned and I don't think filmmakers should be," he added. "Honestly, I've kicked the tires of this for so long now, trying to find any fault in it, and I think it's sound. I think it's going to be a very, very positive thing for the industry in a time that we need it."
The big question now is whether or not these two factions will ever see eye-to-eye, and many at CinemaCon were already off-put by the idea of an outsider's business proposal disrupting their industry.
"More sophisticated window modeling may be needed for the growing success of a modern movie industry," said John Fithian, Chairman and CEO of the National Association of Theater Owners. "But those models will be developed by distributors and exhibitors in company-to-company discussions."
