Every year thousands of tourists, students and business travellers come to Milan. Be it for work, pleasure, or both (for example studying at Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci ), you should take advantage of certain attractions during your time in this amazing city. Some may seem obvious, you will find them in guide books or already know about them, but other destinations are hidden gems and Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci wants you to know about them! 1) See Milan from the top of the Duomo : The Duomo is breathtaking from the outside but you have to go to the top to fully appreciate it. At the top you can walk among the structure itself, admire its intricacies, and if the sky is clear, you have before you an amazing view of the city. Many people don’t realize that you can go to the top and yes, there is an elevator. Cost: 5€ stairs, 8€ elevator. Tickets can be purchased at the Duomo Information Point directly behind the Duomo

A month ago, I asked a former boyfriend if he would lend me the letters I sent him while I was in Peace Corps . I had meant to photocopy these letters before I left Portland, but I ran out of time. I absolutely want you to keep them—they were written for you, I had said.

Cream chargers containing 8 g of nitrous oxide each (N 2 O) to be used with an iSi whipper for whipping cream, making foams/espumas or pressurized infusions. A little more than a week ago Dave Arnold posted a great, new technique : pressure infusion using a conventional iSi whipper ! Just think of it – the whipper has been around for decades, and years a go Ferran Adrià pioneered it’s use for espumas.

When I was a teen , I was aware of kids who smoked, drank, or did pot, but that really was outside of my little world and it didn’t touch me. Today, there are so many more opportunities and a wider variety of drugs available that kids could encounter. The good news is that statistics show a decrease in drug use among teens

I believe most chemists are familiar with the “periodic videos” from the University of Nottingham, covering all the known chemical elements. The series features professor Martyn Poliakoff who’s grey hair is really worthy of a professor! They have now covered the complete periodic table of elements, and have even started to update some of their previously posted videos. There are also thematic videos as well as videos covering specific molecules appearing now.

Illustration: Stained Glass from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament , 1856 In Britain stained glass design and production saw a massive rise in both popularity and function in the nineteenth century. It was used extensively in both the domestic and ecclesiastical markets and although artistically it can be said that the twentieth century may well have seen the apex of stained glass design work as far as creativity is concerned, it is still the nineteenth century that saw the craft appealing almost universally, probably for the first time since the medieval period. Although Owen Jones does cover stained glass decorative work in his 1856 The Grammar of Ornament , it is very much tucked away within the larger Medieval Ornament chapter.

With the growing use and dependency on cell phones, many a parent might wonder whether it is right for them to buy their teenaged children a cell phone. Also, news connecting mobiles to various medical issues have acted as a dampener for many a child’s chances to get a mobile for Christmas or on their birthday. While most of the rumours about medical issues are just that – rumours – there are some issues that are really worthy of a thought for parents who wish to buy their children a phone.

Illustration: Arpad Dekani Lace design c1908 Much of the early twentieth century revival of practical lace making, but more particularly that of designing lace within Hungary, can be attributed fairly squarely to Arpad Dekani. Professor Dekani, who started his career relatively humbly as a teacher at a provincial school in Hungary, eventually became a professor at the Arts and Crafts School in Budapest.

Egg coffee – a mild and refreshing drink that can be served warm as well as cold I recently stumbled over “Norwegian egg coffee”. At first I thought it was a joke, but it turned out that this is indeed an “egg coffee” – coffee prepared with an egg ! I have never heard about it here in Norway, but the fact that it’s popular among Americans of Scandinavian origin in the Midwest suggests that it could be something immigrants brought with them from Norway (feel free to fill me out on the historic origins of this!).
