- SHAVOUT HOLIDAY IN ISRAEL
Shavuot, also spelled Shavuos is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, corresponding to late May or early June. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer and the day the Torah was given at Mount Sinai. It is one of the shalosh regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals mandated by the Torah.Unlike the other two pilgrimage festivals, Passover and Sukkot, the date of Shavuot is not explicitly mentioned in the Torah. Rather, its occurrence is directly linked to the date of Passover. The Torah mandates the seven-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the second day of Passover and culminating on the 50th day, Shavuot. This counting of days and weeks expresses anticipation and desire for the Giving of the Torah. At Passover, the Jewish people were freed from being slaves to Pharaoh; at Shavuot they accepted the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God.All photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye - THE LAST WONDER OF THE WORLD
For some 45 centuries, the great pyramids of Giza, Cairo have stood the test of time, the assault of the desert sands and winds, and most recently, the erosive effects of man-made pollutants on what is left of these great monuments. Man has waged war around them and today weather and pollution wage war on them. The wonder is that any of them remain at all.

Kickboxing, Muay Thai, has a long history in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today, varies slightly from the ancient art Muay Boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as The Science of Eight Limbs, as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A master practitioner of Muay Thai thus has the ability to execute strikes using eight points of contact, as opposed to two points fists in Western boxing and four points fists, feet used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.
