1955-suffragettes-anniversary-a-reunion
5 February 1955
Old campaigners pose for the cameras beside the statue of Mrs Pankhurst, while Miss March and Lilian Lenton take the opportunity to talk about their battle for suffrage on the 37th anniversary of the granting of votes for women.
Lilian Lenton (pictured) recalls how she reckoned on setting alight two buildings a week during her most active period as a suffragette. Her more colourful escapades included evading the police while posing as an errand boy who was reading a comic and munching an apple and later making an escape to France aboard a private yacht.

WINGS
wings-amiga-intro-first-missions-1990
Wings is a World War I video game developed and published by Cinemaware that was originally released for the Amiga in 1990 and was later ported to the Game Boy Advance as Wings Advance in 2002. It is similar to the action sequences of the 1927 silent film Wings, but the story shown before each mission is different from the plot of the movie. The original Wings is considered by some as one of the best games in Amiga's history.
Wings features a mixture of gameplay styles including 3D dog fights, top down bombing missions, and diagonally-scrolling (Blue Max-style) strafing sections. It is action oriented, but features the story narrative and atmospheric presentation that typified many of Cinemaware's titles. The game is not based on any real aircraft, but roughly based on the performance of aeroplanes of the era.

HG WE
hg-wells-as-i-see-it-1937-internet
A talk on the worldwide community of English speakers.
21 December 1937
In this talk for the Empire Broadcasting Service, HG Wells celebrates the power of the English language to bring together diverse communities and asks whether we are doing enough to capitalise on the possibilities it offers. Wells believes that such media as the printed word, the cinema and the radio have helped to draw the world towards speaking English as a common tongue. He calls for this 'reversal of Babel' to be followed by cheap and easy access to books for everyone. He also looks towards a time when people all over the English-speaking world might be able to search 'bibliographies' containing information about every book available in order to buy the volumes they want, and when constantly updated, freely accessible encyclopedias could put knowledge within easy reach of all.
The prediction by Wells of a method of sourcing books from anywhere in the world via 'bibliographies' eventually came to pass thanks to the rise of the internet. Amazon Books was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and began trading the following year. Having diversified into toys, DVDs and music, Amazon.com is now North America's largest online retailer, with subsidiaries in China, France, Germany, Japan and the UK.
