mariamilani Ancient Rome Welcome to the British Museum Bored at work? Here’s a Google-style digital map of the Roman Empire to play with Zac Goldsmith, the people’s dog-whistle-prone freedom fighter against the scourge of Heathrow expansion, has lost his pointless and taxpayers’-money-wasting campaign to be re-elected as an independent MP for Richmond Park & North Kingston in an unnecessary by-election that he himself forced. Sad! But in the midst of all this Heathrow grandstanding, preceded as it was by the advert-scattered battle between Heathrow and Gatwick, another London “hub” has been quietly expanding. In July, Philip Hammond, Chris Grayling and Sajid Javid clubbed together in their new roles as chancellor, transport secretary, and communities and local government secretary respectively, and announced a £344m expansion programme for London City Airport. The plan included an extended terminal, new taxi lanes, and more parking spaces for places. In the immortal words of Liz Truss, that is a disgrace. The case for the prosecution Except, not. It’s not even like the airport is wildly popular, either. Land of opportunity

Galaxie Clionautes Rome Reborn Timeline JS - Beautifully crafted timelines that are easy, and intuitive to use. Thumbnails are only shown from Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo etc. That was done for performance reasons. Having a very large image file as a thumbnail really slows down the timeline. Flickr, Youtube etc have actual thumbnail sized images that can be used that don't cause performance issues. You can also create your own thumbnails. Thumbnails are only shown from Flickr, Youtube, Vimeo etc.

Teaching with ORBIS: Maps, Environments, and Interpretations in Ancient Rome - American Historical Association After a few minutes of tinkering with ORBIS: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World, one of my students exclaimed, “It’s like Google Maps, but for Rome!” She wasn’t the first to make that connection. Four years ago Curt Hopkins noticed the similarity in an article for Ars Technica. Figure 1: Ravenna to Aventicum with the details in the lower left corner A digital humanities grant from Stanford University funded the creation of ORBIS in 2012. ORBIS is one of the many digital projects on the classical Roman world, including the Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations, the Perseus Digital Library, and Epigraph Database Roma. Figure 2: Ravenna to Athens with the details in the lower left corner As a teaching tool, ORBIS offers an easy entry into digital history projects. I ask the students to explain the reasons for the difference, guiding them to an understanding of the difference between travel by foot and by sail.

Presse et revues | Gallica Si l’on considère La Gazette de Théophraste Renaudot fondée en 1631 comme le premier journal français, c’est avec Le Journal de Paris que s’ouvre en 1777 l’ère de la presse d’information. 1789 instaure la liberté de la presse. Les feuilles éclosent en nombre (Le Père Duchesne, L’Ami du Peuple…) avant d’être à nouveau réprimées. Le combat contre la censure agite tout le XIXe siècle qui s’achève par un « âge d’or de la presse » à la faveur de la Loi sur la liberté de la presse de 1881. Dès 1836, les formules novatrices du Siècle et de La Presse ouvrent la marche de cet essor.
