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.

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface, safely delivering Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — the first humans to land on the moon. The Swiss Solar Wind Composition Experiment, of the University of Bern and the Swiss National Science Foundation, was the only non-American experiment to be part of the Apollo landings. Where do we stand after 50 years, and where are we headed? We gathered with astronauts, scientists, and artists to discuss the past, the future, and our inspiration for the unknown space.
This event was a collaboration of the Consulate General of Switzerland’s Swiss Touch campaign with swissnex San Francisco and the Exploratorium, and presented as part of swissnex San Francisco’s SciComm Studio series.

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.

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.

This bronze sculpture called Moses by Frantisek Bilek (dated 1905) stands outside the Old-New Synagogue in the Jewish Quarter of Prague.
This vision of the Old Testament prophet is a larger than life kneeling man writing the name of ADAM on a scroll symbolising humankind, for which he is responsible and for which
he sought the promised land.
František Bílek made the sculpture in 1905; and it was was placed on its current spot in 1937. But under the Nazi occupation, the statue was removed and subsequently melted down. After World War II, in 1946, it was recast using the original plaster model, and then put back in its original place.
