First-year medical students visit the galleries as part of a program co-sponsored by Duke’s School of Medicine and the Nasher Museum. The museum visit is part of a required course called “the practice course,” focusing on doctor-patient relationships. The goal is for students to build their visual and communication skills and learn how to better understand their patients and themselves. Photos by Dr. J Caldwell.

Ants are truly some of the most amazing creatures when it comes to industry and social cooperation for the good of all within a colony. It’s quite interesting to observe them in the process of tending to sweet food sources such as the honey dew like substance created by the Woolly Aphids or other similar tasty treats.
The late, Doris Duke, had left a wonderful legacy in converting her magnificent estate into a Natural Wildlife Preserve for the public’s education and enjoyment. The paths throughout the estate offer such splendid scenery. One is forever exploring, always seeing something subtly beautiful. There are always pleasant surprises, from the general scenery to the world of birds and other wildlife, including tiny insects and flowers that are quite enjoyable to observe and study. The bucolic nature of the preserve is so relaxing—akin to meditating while experiencing the landscape. The beauty of visiting Duke Farms is that so many incredible views are there simply by absorbing the surroundings.
Besides the wonderful diversity of nature’s jewels, Doris Duke has left a part of her legacy through her passion for art—well situated throughout the preserve is a collection of glorious sculptures and fabulous examples of supreme stonework and design in the bridges, old ruins of enormous barns and stables, and a variety of other structures. The old Hay Barn ruin with its fabulous sculpture garden is truly a favorite of ours, for each and every statue seems to possess a spirit and sense of life. The landscape and backdrop can alter the mood, accordingly, depending on the time of day and seasonal changes in particular. So, spotting new and fascinating wildlife (both animals and plants) and art never ceases to add to the experience.

Anzac Day is the national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand and is held each year on 25 April.
The commemorative date marks the anniversary of the first major military campaign fought by Australian and New Zealand soldiers during the First World War. 'Anzac' is a term which stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and refers to the group of soldiers formed in Egypt in December 1914. The troops were made up of soldiers from the First Australian Imperial Force and the First New Zealand Expeditionary Force.
Anzac Day commemorates the landing in 1915 of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The Allies attempted to take control of the strategic Dardanelles from Turkey, allied with the Central Powers, in the so-called Dardanelles Campaign, which began in February 1915. Anzac forces landed on 25 April and secured a beachhead at what came to be called Anzac Cove, on the Aegean side of the peninsula. Despite additional landings by other troops during the succeeding months, the Allies could not capture the strait, and they suffered enormous losses from battle and disease. By December 1915 the Allied troops, including the Anzac forces, had been withdrawn. Nonetheless, the Anzac troops earned a reputation for valiant fighting, and they then served with distinction in France and in the Middle East. Later, in 1917, the Australian and the New Zealand forces were separated.
By the end of 1915, the military objectives had not been achieved and some 8,000 Australian and 2,000 New Zealand soldiers had been killed.
While the eight month campaign resulted in tragedy and troops failing to capture the Gallipoli peninsula, the sacrifices the Anzacs made left a profound effect on those back home and became a source of national pride in Australia and New Zealand.
The "Anzac legend" soon forged a significant part of both countries' identities and in 1916, the first commemorations were held on 25 April, with several ceremonies across Australia, a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt and a march by 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops in London.
Honouring the bravery of everyone who fought in Gallipoli, remembrance services have taken place since the date was officially named Anzac Day in 1916.
In 1920 Australia and New Zealand created Anzac Day as a public holiday to honour those who had fought in the Dardanelles Campaign. Since then it has been broadened to become a memorial day honouring all who served and died in World Wars I and II and other conflicts.
Commemorations for Anzac Day typically begin with memorial services held at dawn, to mark the original time of landing in Gallipoli. Other ceremonies later take place at war memorials on the day, where wreaths are laid to reflect on those who fought and lost their lives. Ex-servicemen and women also join city marches to remember those who served in conflicts.
While commemorations are held in Australia and New Zealand annually on 25 April, other countries around the world including the UK also hold their own commemorative observances.
As well as a dawn service at the Australian War Memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London and wreath-laying at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving is held at Westminster Abbey on 25 April. A member of the Royal Family attends the wreath laying and service in London. In 2023 this was Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester who is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal New Zealand Army Medical Corps.

"In Hawaii, we greet friends, loved ones or strangers with aloha, which means love. Aloha is the key word to the universal spirit of real hospitality, which makes Hawaii renowned as the world's center of understanding and fellowship. Try meeting or leaving people with Aloha. You'll be surprised by their reaction. I believe it and it is my creed. Aloha to you." Duke Kahanamoku
