March 6: About some events

Very sunny day today, not cold (-8 C, it feels like -14 C), blue skies.
Sharp sunlight, strong contrasts.

I can't wait to get some warmer weather and go out to take some photos.

The road and parts of the sidewalks are dry, so it's would't be that unpleasant to go out.
I just don't feel like taking photos with frozen hands.

Let's see some facts related to March 6:

• 1869 – Dmitri Mendeleev presents the first periodic table to the Russian Chemical Society.
• 1882 – The Serbian kingdom is re-founded.
• 1899 – Bayer registers "Aspirin" as a trademark.
• 1957 – Ghana becomes the first Sub-Saharan country to gain independence from the British
• 1962 – Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962 begins on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States.
• 1964 – Nation of Islam's Elijah Muhammad officially gives boxing champion Cassius Clay the name Muhammad Ali.

I consider the periodic table and Bayer registering the aspirin as trademark the most important of all six.

Cassius Clay would have survived very well without his Islamic nickname, Ghana would have gained independence sooner or later, the Serbian kingdom would eventually collapse while, in the devastating storm, only 40 people died.
