Before the beginning of time, when the Internet was still very much under the spell of bare Unix shells and Gopher, before SLIP or PPP became widely used, an ambitious group of young scientists at CERN (Switzerland) started working on what was to become the media revolution of the nineties: the World Wide Web, later to be known as WWW, or simply ‘the Web’. Their aim: to create a database infrastructure that offered open access to data in various formats: mu lti-media. The ultimate goal was clearly to create a protocol that would combine text and pictures and present it as one document, and allow linking to other such documents: hypertext. Because these bright young minds were reluctant to reveal their progress (and setbacks) to the world, they started developing their protocol in a closed environment: CERN’s internal network. Many hours were spend on what later became the world-wide standard for multimedia documents. Using the physical lay-out of CERN’s network a
Flash Video is a container file format used to deliver digital video content (e.g., TV shows , movies , etc.) over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player version 6 and newer. Flash Video content may also be embedded within SWF files. There are two different video file formats known as Flash Video: FLV and F4V . The audio and video data within FLV files are encoded in the same manner as they are within SWF files. The F4V file format is based on the ISO base media file format and is starting with Flash Player 9 update 3. [1] [2] Both formats are supported in Adobe Flash Player and developed by Adobe Systems. FLV was originally developed by Macromedia . In the early 2000s, Flash Video used to be the de facto standard for web-based streaming video (over RTMP ). Notable users of it include Hulu , VEVO , Yahoo! Video , metacafe , Reuters.com , and many other news providers. Flash Video FLV files usually contain material encoded with codecs following the Sorens
In his inaugural address, newly minted President Donald Trump made it clear that his administration will put "America first." In fact, he used the phrase twice. As Los Angeles Times writer Doyle McManus pointed out during the campaign, however, the phrase "America First" has a bit of a loaded history. "Seventy-five years ago, the America First Committee was an isolationist movement that opposed U.S. entry into World War II," McManus writes. He adds that its most famous leader, aviator Charles Lindbergh, argued that Nazi Germany was certain to defeat Britain and that U.S. intervention would be useless. "His followers included more than a few pro-Nazis and anti-Semites," McManus writes. Source: The Los Angels Times
