Bermuda's distinctive coastline of rocky cliffs and ledges fascinated Homer. Eroded by the sea into dramatic and picturesque formations like this natural bridge, the layers of limestone suggest ancient geological time and inevitable environmental change. Homer situates the landscape in the current moment by including a red-coated British soldier in the lower right corner.

Winslow Homer: Force of Nature
(September 2022 – January 2023)
[A]n overview of Winslow Homer (1836–1910), the great American Realist painter who confronted the leading issues facing the United States, and its relationship with both Europe and the Caribbean world, in the final decades of the 19th century.
Homer’s career spanned a turning point in North American history. He lived through the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, so-called Reconstruction, and war with the last colonial European power in the Americas, Spain.
From his sketches of battle and camp life, to dazzling tropical views and darker restless seascapes, the works reflect Homer’s interest in the pressing issues of his time; conflict, race, and the relationship between humankind and the environment – issues still relevant for us today.
After the war, Homer’s subject became the lives of Americans in the wake of the war and abolition with a focus on the lives of formerly enslaved African Americans.
Homer travelled to France, England, the Bahamas, Cuba and Bermuda. In England, he painted scenes of heroism and resilience that he saw while staying in Cullercoats, a town on the North East coast. In the Caribbean, his paintings became more vivid as he painted the transparent turquoise waters and lush vegetation. His interest in conflict remained constant and he often explored the issue through painting the life and struggles of Black people.
With more than fifty paintings, covering over forty years of Homer’s career, 'Winslow Homer: Force of Nature' is part of a programme of exhibitions that introduce major American artists to a UK and European audience and follows on from our exhibitions about George Bellows and the Ashcan painters, Frederic Church and Thomas Cole.

Every year on 18 April, The humankind celebrates the “International Day for Monuments and Sites”, which was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General Conference in 1983.
The International Day aims to encourage visiting Monuments and Sites in local communities and individuals throughout the world to consider the importance of cultural heritage to their lives, identities, promoting awareness of how to protect and conserve the antiquities.
According to UNESCO World Heritage list, there are 981 monuments; Egypt in this list has 7 sites:
Abu Mena
Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis
Historic Cairo
Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur
Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae
Saint Catherine Area
Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley)
The photos show Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur, precisely The Pyramid of Djoser (or Zoser), or step pyramid which is located in the Saqqara necropolis. It was built during the 27th century BC for the burial of Pharaoh Djoser. Zoser Pyramid is considered the first Egyptian pyramid consisted of six mastabas built atop one another in what were clearly revisions and developments of the original plan.
Presently, the degenerative diseases of aging are one of humankind’s greatest challenges: cancer, heart attack, stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease prematurely kill and disable millions of people worldwide. Yet nearly all aging-related diseases occur needlessly, because more than 75% of them can be prevented. Consistent unhealthy choices throughout life could be causing your body to function and age biologically at the level of someone who is 15-20 years older! The gradual wasting away of the body over the course of decades is not a necessary or normal component of aging. How can you function and age biologically at a level equivalent to someone who is many years younger than you are? The Answer is Healthy Aging Medical Centers. We have two convenient locations. Our main building is located in West Orange, NJ and provides a soothing, comfortable environment for patients.
Recent aging research, and continuous advancements and understanding in how our bodies work on a cellular level, has brought doctors and scientists new insights on how we can slow, stop, and even reverse many of the symptoms of aging. Some of these symptoms, such as the loss of physical vitality and a healthy appearance, can have a significant affect on the quality of our lives. Healthy Aging Medical Centers are dedicated and committed to providing our patients with the latest treatment, support, education and encouragement on life-changing options that are available to them by recommending preventative age management.
Your consultation begins the very moment you start your registration process as well as complete all the forms under “GETTING STARTED” on our website: healthyagingmedicalcenters.com. A detailed review of your history is performed and a lab requisition is generated by the doctor. We do prefer in you arrange for the blood to be drawn in one of our offices as we perform an extensive panel not offered by other labs (i.e labcorp or quest). The blood test includes genetic markers, inflammatory markers as well as oxidative markers. Other testing includes cholesterol testing with a breakdown of particle sizes and cholesterol absorption markers. In addition, healthy aging formulated a specific hormone panel specifically designed for our patients. The lab will bill your insurance company for the testing. If you choose not to come to our office for the blood test the lab requisition will be emailed to you with detailed instructions for you to take to your participating lab. Payment information for Healthy Aging Medical Centers Initial Consult is in the form of a credit card and is due at the time of registration as the doctor begins reviewing your health history and generates your customized and individualized lab requisition. Your credit card is debited 2 weeks from the date you register as this generally is the time it takes for your labs to return from the lab (lab-corp or quest)., and your face to face visit with the doctor. The cost of your initial visit is $450. Scheduling for your Initial Visit is via our e-patient portal system and is completed by the patient under “make a appointment”. If you do not have insurance to pay for your blood work, we offer a significant reduced price for blood work that is performed in our office.

This composition accentuates the towering height of the central palm tree. Storm clouds approach. Wind whirls around the tree, whose branches bend right. The red flag in the background - signalling a coming hurricane or squall - blows in the opposite direction, implying a complex weather event with contrary winds. Tropical storms and hurricanes are a devastating reality for Caribbean people from June to November every year.
