Today's Gems

Film

Becky Sharp (much better copy, the cost may be a few commercial interruptions) (1935, Directed by Rouben Mamoulian) The first full color film (3 strip technicolor). Also stars Miriam Hopkins, one of my all time favorite actresses. The movie isn't the greatest, but the innovation is. Color is important in film. This is where it began.

New York Times Review June 14, 1935, by Andre Sennwald

Reference

Country Statistical Yearbooks (University of Wisconsin): I came up with the idea for this while Director of the UW Data and Information Services Center. My colleagues at the Center actually put it together and maintained it. With the Pandemic, other responsibilities have left little time for updates. (It is current through as late as 2019, I believe). I will be playing around with the site and sending updates to be included when time permits. It is part of a suite of basic reference sources.

News Links from Around the World

This Post allows you to see the latest news updates from around the world. Below you will find selected news outlets' Youtube pages. There will be two links for each.  The first is called "Videos" and will link you to the videos page of each site. There you will find the latest Youtubes of that site, as well as  all of the links on the site, in reverse chronological order. The second is called "Playlists" and will link you to the playlists of the site, which I have arranged in chronological order, with the most recently updated playlists listed at the top of the order. The latest updated playlists will list how long ago the playlist was updated. If there is no date, then the playlist was updated before the earliest playlist date. Note that some playlists put their newest additions at the bottom of the playlist, but most put them at the top for ease of access.  Due to the fact that these are almost exclusively video stories, I am only linking to English language
