It marks the day of the death of the Algerian scholar Abdelhamid Ibn Badis The Algerian state holds a group of programs and celebrations on the occasion of Science Day National Science Day was established in honor of the struggle of Imam Abdelhamid Ben Badis (1889-1940) at the initiative of President Houari Boumediene “to remind Algerians of the advantages of science.” It was celebrated for the first time in 1976. The president’s speech stated the following: “It is not possible to subjugate an educated man, just as it is impossible to subjugate a people who are drawn to the sources of knowledge. For this reason, it may be wise to establish a Science Day to be celebrated every year in school institutions and the media to remind Algerians of the advantages of science.” Abd al-Hamīd ibn Mustafa ibn Makki ibn Badis (Arabic: عبد الحميد بن مصطفى بن المكي بن باديس), better known as ابن باديس (Arabic: عبد الحميد بن باديس (December 4, 1889 – April 16, 1940) was an Algerian educator, exegete, Islamic reformer, scholar and figurehead of cultural nationalism.

The Association would have later a great influence on Algerian Muslim politics up to the Algerian War of Independence. In the same period, it set up many institutions where thousands of Algerian children of Muslim parents were educated. The Association also published a monthly journal, the Al-Chihab and Souheil Ben Badis contributed regularly to it between 1925 and his death in 1940. The journal informed its readers about the Association's ideas and thoughts on religious reform and spoke on other religious and political issues.

This year, Pflasterspektakel Linz will be celebrated from July 21 to 23. This festival — which translates to ‘pavement spectacle’ in German — draws together dancers, mimes, musicians, high-wire walkers, clowns, fire twirlers, acrobats, and other performers that defy categorization and occasionally gravity for three days each July. Pflasterspektakel converts three days in summer into a type of citywide ‘Cirque du Soleil.’Hauptplatz — a vast and beautiful city plaza dominated by the 60-foot-tall Trinity Column — is the core of it all — which, incidentally, honors the victims of the Black Plague. More than 200,000 people braved the inclement weather in Linz to see what these colorfully costumed artists have to offer. https://pflasterspektakel.at/de/

The Qingming festival or Ching Ming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day in English (sometimes also called Chinese Memorial Day or Ancestors' Day), is a traditional Chinese festival observed by the Han Chinese of mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, and by the ethnic Chinese of Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Panama. It falls on the first day of the fifth solar term of the traditional Chinese lunisolar calendar. This makes it the 15th day after the Spring Equinox, either 4, 5 or 6 April in a given year. During Qingming, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors and make ritual offerings. Offerings would typically include traditional food dishes and the burning of joss sticks and joss paper. The holiday recognizes the traditional reverence of one's ancestors in Chinese culture. The Qingming Festival has been observed by the Chinese for over 2500 years, although the observance has changed significantly. It became a public holiday in mainland China in 2008, where it is associated with the consumption of qingtuan, green dumplings made of glutinous rice and Chinese mugwort or barley grass. In Taiwan, the public holiday was in the past observed on 5 April to honor the death of Chiang Kai-shek on that day in 1975, but with Chiang's popularity waning, this convention is not being observed. A confection called caozaiguo or shuchuguo, made with Jersey cudweed, is consumed there. A similar holiday is observed in the Ryukyu Islands, called Shīmī in the local language. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingming_Festival https://publicholidays.cn/ching-ming-festival/

National Aviation Day in Romania is observed annually on June 17. On this day in 1910, Romanian engineer and inventor Aurel Vlaicu flew his first powered airplane, the A Vlaicu I, for the first time. The first Romanian aircraft capable of sustained flight was designed and build by Aurel Vlaicu. Having earned his engineering diploma in 1907, Vlaicu worked for Opel for a couple of years before leaving the company to focus on airplane construction. He started with building a glider and then obtained funding from the Ministry of War of Romania to build his first powered airplane. On June 17, 1910, Vlaicu flew his airplane for the first time over the Cotroceni airfield in western Bucharest. The anniversary of this flight is now celebrated as National Aviation Day in Romania. In September 1910, Vlaicu participated in military exercises and flew his plane from Slatina to Piatra Olt. In April 1911, Vlaicu presented his second aircraft, the A. Vlaicu Nr. II. In June 1912, he competed with it at the International Flight Week in Vienna, winning a total of 7,500 Austro-Hungarian Kronen in prize money. Sadly, Vlaicu did not finish building his third airplane; on September 13, 1913, he crashed and died while attempting to fly across the Carpathian Mountains in his A. Vlaicu Nr. II airplane. Vlaicu’s aircraft are credited with boosting the development of both military and civil aviation in Romania. The Romanian Air Force was officially founded in 1913, and the development of civil aviation in the country officially kicked off in 1920. Romania has been a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization since 1965 and the European Civil Aviation Conference since 1991. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_in_Romania#Cultural_significance
