Michelangelo produced a sizeable body of work during his long lifetime, and for many persons, a visit to his moving frescoes at the Sistine Chapel is an absolute must. Of course, if you can't make it to the Sistine Chapel, why not take a look at this interactive exhibit created by the Seattle Art Museum? This online audio slideshow complements an in situ exhibit at the Museum, and it features studies and preparatory drawings for the Sistine Chapel. Visitors can listen to Dr. Gary Radke, curatorial advisor for the exhibition, talk about four different works here. The works discussed include a study for Adam and another study of two nudes. The site wraps things up with a five minute film that also talks about the exhibition and the work of Michelangelo. (from Internet Scout Project) - Michelle

A farmhouse cheese from Portugal made from a blend of cow, goat, and sheep's milk. Bica has a distinctive yet mild, buttery flavor and a satiny texture. Like most Portuguese cheeses, Bica has a slightly salty flavor because its milk comes from animals that graze on land that sits by the sea. Enjoy it with a medium-bodied red wine before the meal, or with a glass of sherry for dessert. - Michelle

It's all here in the delightful Miniature Book Collection created by the dedicated souls at the University of North Texas Libraries Digital Collection group.

One of the aims of the Monastic Matrix website is to disseminate research to both lay people and scholars about the "participation of Christian women in the religion and society of medieval Europe." Now housed as part of the University of Southern California's Digital Archives, this website allows visitors to view artwork, archaeology, stained glass, architecture, and textiles. By clicking on the link "Figurae" on the right hand side menu, visitors can browse these digital images by "title", "century", "community", and "image type". The "Beata Antonia", found by browsing "community", treats viewers to many beautiful 16th century Italian frescos.

The 400 year anniversary of Henry Hudson's voyage to Manhattan from Amsterdam is being commemorated by the loan of Vermeer's <i>The Milkmaid</i>, from Rijksmuseum to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MOMA). It was last in the United States for the 1939 World's Fair. The MOMA website provides many ways to enjoy the painting, as well other important works from the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century. There is a download available that lets visitors listen to the curator Walter Liedtke discuss Vermeer's "unique patronage and its influence on the artistic and psychological aesthetic of The Milkmaid and other works by Vermeer." Younger visitors to the site can download a TweenCast episode that helps them imagine the life of a young maid in 17th century Holland.

The American Memory Project at the Library of Congress has struck gold again with this most excellent digital collection. The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) Collection features approximately 118 hours of recordings documenting North American English dialects. These recordings were made from 1941 to 1984, and they reveal "distinctions in speech related to gender, race, social class, education, age, literacy, ethnic background, and occupational group." Visitors to the site can read the final report created by the CAL after the completion of this project, and they view an interactive map of the survey locations throughout the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Browsing the collection is a snap, and visitors can look through the offerings here by title, name, subject, and place. Some of the subjects covered here include rabbit hunting, racial discrimination, tall tales, and Halloween. (from Internet Scout Report) - Michelle

All the articles can be read in English and some of them are also available in Estonian.

Climate change continues to be of grave concern to many, and the World Bank is particularly concerned with the ramifications it will have on people in the developing world. Their Climate Change site is designed to provide an overview of their work on this vexing problem including information about their current projects, data sets, research papers, and books. Visitors should start by looking over their weblog, and then take a look at their "What's New" area. Here, they can learn about innovative carbon trading programs, engineering projects, and international agreements designed to mitigate the effects of climate change. The "Research & Analysis" area has dozens of free publications, including the very relevant "Climate Resilient Cities" work, which discusses how city governments can better understand how to plan for the impact of climate change through sound urban planning.

Spezzélle (pl. spezzèlle), malleolo; lat. paxillus, caviglia. Nell'italiano delle ascolane del 1596: "Ancora ne oppone al nostro vestire con dir (...) che mostremo l'osso pazzello esser cosa troppo desonesta." Lo stesso G. Rosa, nelle voci ricordate al Cap. Dialetto piceno (pp. 303 e segg.) chiama il malleolo 'passillo'. - Michelle
