Un musée virtuel de la photo vue du ciel - Grande Région Comme une encyclopédie de la photo aérienne, le musée virtuel de la société «L’Europe vue du ciel» a ouvert ce jeudi. Pour Jean-Luc Kaiser, initiateur du projet, ce site doit devenir une banque de données d’archives inédite dans le domaine, grâce aux apports et aux témoignages «que des collectionneurs ou professionnels voudront bien y apporter». L'entreprise a réalisé près de 142 000 photos et l'histoire de l’épopée de la photographie aérienne est expliqué sur site Internet. De plus, une exposition «physique» se tient sur l’aérodrome de Chambley Planet’air, tous les jours entre 14h et 17h. Le «web-musée» s’intéresse à l’histoire de la photo aérienne, débutée avec les prises de vues de Nadar, né il y a tout juste 155 ans, dont la première, réalisée en 1858, est considéré comme la première en France et probablement au monde. Chaque année, «L’Europe vue du ciel» réalise entre 10 000 et 15 000 photos. (JV/L'essentiel Online)

National Women's History Project | Our History is Our Strength Wonderopolis | Where the Wonders of Learning Never Cease Internet History Sourcebooks Project Women's History Sourcebook "Yes, I am fond of history." "I wish I were too. I read it a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. How are historians to remedy the silence about women in many traditional accounts of history? The first solution was to locate the great women of the past, following the lead of much popular historiography that focuses on "great men". The next solution was to examine and expose the history of oppression of women. In recent years, while not denying the history of oppression, historians have begun to focus on the agency of women. These various approaches to the history of women are not exclusive. This page is a subset of texts derived from the three major online Sourcebooks listed below.

Ten Women and American Masters: Women’s History Month | American Masters In honor of Women’s History Month, American Masters revisits women in its documentary archive and looks ahead to women whose achievements are featured in the upcoming 2014 American Masters season. These women rose to the top in entertainment, the business of television and the fine arts. The landmark television sitcom I Love Lucy was named for its star comedian, Lucille Ball. But Ball was not only the talent, she was the producer. Career Timeline of Lucille Ball (1911 – 1989) In 1987, Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, became the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Franklin has won 18 Grammy Awards and at over 75 million records sold, is one of the best-selling female artists of all time. Even the early charcoal drawings of celebrated artist Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 –1986) — best known for her rich palettes for flowers and desert scenes — had an allure and were the occasion of her first exhibition in New York City in 1916.

La lutte des musées privés chinois Une pénurie de professionnels, le manque de fonds sont des problèmes pratiques pour les musées privés chinois L'annonce de l'entrée gratuite dans les musées d'État a été un véritable choc pour Wang Ziyong, propriétaire d'un musée privé à Shijiazhuang, dans la province du Hebei. Wang a expliqué que cette nouvelle constitue un nouveau revers pour son musée de la Tabatière, qui dépend des droits d'entrée pour pouvoir joindre les deux bouts. "Ils (les musées appartenant à l'Etat) bénéficient de subventions et nous n'aurions rien si nous décidions de renoncer aux droits d'entrée», a déclaré Wang. Un nombre croissant de musées publics sont devenus gratuits pour le public depuis 2008, lorsque le Conseil d'Etat a encouragé les musées à la gratuité pour les visiteurs. "Nous avons la difficulté pratique de ne pas pouvoir nous permettre plus de 40.000 yuans (6.310 $) pour la facture d'électricité mensuelle du musée pendant l'été", a déclaré Wang.

MAKERS: Women Who Make America In the last half-century, women have fought their way into nearly every sphere of American life, from the battlefield to the comedy club, the soundstage to the Senate. Expanding on the critically acclaimed PBS documentary MAKERS: Women Who Make America, which told the story of the modern American women’s movement, each documentary in this six-part series examines the impact of the women’s movement on six fields once largely closed to women: business, space, Hollywood, comedy, war and politics. In each field, women have pried open, and profoundly reshaped, the central institutions of American life and culture. Through intimate interviews with trailblazing women known and unknown, viewers are given a rare glimpse-- sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always candid—of what it was like to be pioneers in their fields. Watch special clips and more previews on the Makers video channel.

History of American Women USDA Defines Food Deserts Food deserts are defined as parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas. This is largely due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and healthy food providers. This has become a big problem because while food deserts are often short on whole food providers, especially fresh fruits and vegetables, instead, they are heavy on local quickie marts that provide a wealth of processed, sugar, and fat laden foods that are known contributors to our nation’s obesity epidemic. The food desert problem has in fact become such an issue that the USDA has outlined a map of our nation’s food deserts, which I saw on Mother Nature Network. The Food Desert Locator is a part of the First Lady’s Let’s Move initiative to end childhood obesity. According to the USDA: Part of the First Lady's Let's Move! Mari Gallagher, noted author and expert of Food Deserts will be speaking at an ANA presentation in Spring 2011.
