This website brings together news of the latest science research from universities in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and the USA. There are four main categories: Earth and the Environment; Health & Medicine; Science & Technology and Society & Culture. Most of the news consists of articles illustrated with still photographs but some moving imagery is used, as in this article which looks at how quickly can glaciers grow (and melt)?, using a study of the prehistoric activity of Baffin Island’s glaciers with a view to developing accurate models to predict how climate change in the future will affect glaciers and ice sheets.
Website version of the Biography channel, with 25,000 biographies of the rich, famous and notorious, past and present. There is a useful system of links to related personalities, web links, and filmographies, bibliographies or discographies where appropriate. Many audio and video extracts of programmes are streamed free on the website and the shop section of the site has a large number of the broadcast biographies available for purchase (NTSC format).
Informative and well laid out site on Alger Hiss, the US State Department official convicted in 1950 of perjury following accusations by Whittaker Chambers that he was a secret communist. The site brings together the historical background, the arguments and evidence in favour of and against Hiss (including recent material from Russian files), and includes audio files of interviews with Hiss and others, and video clips of American newsreel coverage of the story. Uses Real Player. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 08/06/2011. This does not include access to the moving images.
This site archives the material that was part of the material created by and for the Somewhere art organisation led by artists Karen Guthrie & Nina Pope. On 20th March 2002 it presented the live internet broadcast "TV swansong" - an homage to TV past, present and future. This project is described as "a cross-media art project commissioning 8 new works which reflect on the current state of flux in television with idiosyncratic responses to its past, present and future." The site’s layout in fairly simple, while the graphics appear to be deliberately rough and chaotic. Originally available free in 30 sites in the UK, the original 11 broadcasts by 8 artists can be viewed using Real Player at three speeds, while a couple of new pieces have since been added.
Part of the now defunct ThriveOnline Organic Food Video Library was incorporated into a sister site, Oxygen.com. Oxygen is also a channel on American TV aimed at women, and the video gallery on the site includes streamed extracts from the channel’s programmes using QuickTime. Some of the clips come from British comedies, such as Nighty Night, Absolutely Fabulous and Suburban Shootout, but most of the extracts are from American shows, including Xena: Warrior Princess, Roseanne, Birth Stories, Drastic Plastic Surgery and many more.
