Can
a
skyscraper
produce
more
energy
than
it
consumes?
That's
what
we'll
find
out
when
the
Pearl
River
Tower
in
Guangzhou,
China
is
completed.
It
is
designed
to
be
one
of
the
most
environmentally

buildings
in
the
world.

Mostly
Medieval
accurately
describes
this
webpage,
and
it's
a
rather
fine
potpourri
of
information
related
to
the
Middle
Ages.
The
site
was
created
by
Susan
Wallace
as
the
result
of
a
research
for
a
novel
set
in
13th
century
Scotland.
Visitors
can
make
their
way
through
sections
such
as
"Ballads,"
"Beasties,"
"Book
of
Days,"
"God
and
War,"
and
"Heradlry."
The
"Ballads"
area
is
a
nice
place
to
start;
users
can
read
(and
perhaps
sing)
through
such
ballads
as
"Robin
Hood
and
Guy
of
Gisborne,"
"Gude
Wallace,"
and
"The
Battle
of
Harlaw."
After
that
bit
of
warm-up,
visitors
should
take
a
look
inside
the
"Book
of
Days"
section
to
learn
more
about
holy
days
and
celebrations
throughout
the
months.
Finally,
visitors
can
also
use
the
A-Z
index
to
look
up
specific
topics
of
interest.

Noted
filmmaker
David
Grubin
recently
completed
a
documentary
for
PBS
which
explores
350
years
of
Jewish
American
history.
This
compelling
profile
focuses
on
the
tension
between
"identity
and
assimilation"
and
at
its
heart
is
"quintessentially
an
American
story."
Visitors
to
the

can
start
their
journey
through
the

by
watching
video
clips
from
the
program
organized
by
themes.
These
themes
include
"Anti-Semitism
in
America",
"Political
Activism",
and
"Being
Jewish
in
Modern
America".
Moving

Over
the
past
few
years,
the
British
Museum
has
continued
to
expand
their
online
offerings.
In
their
"Explore"
area,
they
have
created
a
number
of
online
tours
that
explore
Asia,
Africa,
ancient
Greece,
Egypt,
and
Japan.
This
particular
online
tour
covers
the
Americas
through
a
number
of
thematic
collections
culled
from
their
vast
holdings.
Visitors
might
wish
to
start
by
looking
over
the
tour
that
includes
images
of
kayak
clothing
from
Greenland,
as
it
provides
some
nice
images
and
a
number
of
insights
into
how
kayakers
past
and
present
cope
with
the
bone-chilling
cold
of
the
Arctic
region.
Moving
on,
the
site
also
includes
a
tour
titled
"Unknown
Amazon".
Here,
visitors
can
learn
about
the
people
who
have
inhabited
the
Amazon
River
basin
over
the
past
several
thousand
years.

visit

on

regular
basis

enter

The
reason
for

that
