(Some of the great ones passed away this year. David Bowie one of my favourites, too. Alan Rickman (actor) big loss, too. Some celebrity in my country went early in life and early this year, too. ... :mecry: Sad, but always worth a contribution of remembrance, friend Shishmish, even if continuity of this game is deranged. )

Ivan Lendl (born March 7, 1960 in Ostrava) is a former world no.1 professional tennis player. Originally from Czechoslovakia, he became a United States citizen in 1992. He was one of the game's most dominant players in the 1980s and remained a top competitor into the early 1990s. He has been described as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Lendl's game relied particularly on strength and heavy topspin from the baseline and helped usher in the modern era of "power tennis".
Lendl captured eight Grand Slam singles titles. He competed in 19 Grand Slam singles finals, a record surpassed by Roger Federer in 2009 and Rafael Nadal in 2014. He reached at least one Grand Slam final for 11 consecutive years, a record shared with Pete Sampras, with the male primacy of eight consecutive finals in a Grand Slam tournament (a record shared with Bill Tilden at the US Open). Before the formation of the ATP, Lendl reached a record 12 year-end championships (equalled by John McEnroe). He won two WCT Finals titles and five Masters Grand Prix titles, with the record of nine consecutive finals. He also won a record 22 Grand Prix Super Series titles (1980–89), the precursors to the current ATP Masters 1000.

Charles Darwin (1809 - 1882) was a brilliant naturalist and famous as the author of Darwin's Theory Of Evolution. Charles Darwin was an extraordinary man. From an early age he was fascinated with natural history. He would spend six years of his early life traveling abroad collecting innumerable specimens and keeping a journal of everything he found and did of scientific theories as well as branching pattern of evolution which he strongly believed was as a result of natural selection in that the struggle for existence is not unlike the artificial selection which is the process for selective breeding.
Darwin's Theory Of Evolution is based on the concept that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor. His book, 'On the Origin of Species' was published on November 24, 1859, is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.

Niels Henrik David Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
Bohr developed the Bohr model of the atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another. Although the Bohr model has been supplanted by other models, its underlying principles remain valid.
