4. Education: French Drawings from
Ingres to Degas
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = =
With
art work from the Baltimore Museum of
Art, the Walters Art Museum, and the Peabody
Institute Art Collection of the Maryland
State Archives, the Essence of Line is
a comprehensive database of over 900 nineteenth-century
French drawings by artists such as Eugine
Delacroix, Honori Daumier, Paul Cizanne,
and Edgar Degas.
The
site provides several approaches to viewing
the drawings - in addition to a variety
of searches - author's name, drawing title,
category - browse 27 highlights of the
collection, or leaf through several sketchbooks
(by Antoine Louis Barye, Karl Bodmer,
Charles Emile Jacque), as well as two
albums compiled by collector William T.
Walters. The albums hold more finished
works, such as The Confessional, a water
color by Tissot, comissioned by Walters
in 1867. Visit
this site.

5. Education: Tate Gallery in London
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The
Tate Gallery in London is perhaps one
of the world's finest museums of modern
art, and is well-regarded for its creative
online collections and galleries. Most
recently they developed a rather novel
way to browse through approximately 2000
of their artworks online. They are calling
it Carousel and this website will allow
the curious user to weave their way through
this large collection. As their site notes,
It's like a random walk with a subtle
guiding hand.
The
works are randomly generated on the site,
and visitors can highlight images by clicking
on them as they appear and also add them
to their favorites list. No doubt this
site will prove most efficacious for art
educators, artists, and those interested
in engaging in a bit of a peripatetic
online artistic journey. Visit
this site.

6. Education: Are you scared of
the impending "bird flu"?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = = = = =
Modern
factory farms raise animals in extremely
unnatural conditions, in overcrowded sheds,
living in their own filth and breathing
polluted air. It is little surprise that
these have become major sources for deadly
disease outbreaks like SARS, hoof-and-mouth
disease, mad cow disease, the Johnes virus,
and now the most dangerous of all: bird
flu.
Read

concerned about the way the World Health
Organization (WHO) is handling this serious
problem. Visit

7. Immigration: Changes to UK Immigration
Laws
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = =
The
historic links between Britain and hundreds
of thousands of Commonwealth citizens
are under threat as part of a government
overhaul of migration rules.
A
new points-based immigration system threatens
to end a scheme under which Commonwealth
citizens with a British grandparent are
allowed to enter and settle in Britain.
The
move will mainly affect people from Australia,
New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and
Zimbabwe who have used the "ancestral
visa" scheme to come to Britain.

10. Real Estate: Property Boom in
South Africa
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = =
The
surge in property prices has replaced
the race divide with a "class gap".
This, coupled with several other factors
that has seen race separateness being
replaced with class separateness in South
Africa, also saw the average monthly installment
of a home mortgage repayment in the country
top R4 000 a month.
This
property trend is in a country where the
unemployment rate is in the mid-40 percent
range and millions have no formal housing
or access to the formal economy. To read
