Document History
TimelineJS can pull in media from different sources. It has built in support for:
Twitter,
Flickr,
Google Maps,
YouTube,
Vimeo,
Dailymotion,
Wikipedia,
SoundCloud
and more media types in the future.
Creating one is as easy as filling in a Google spreadsheet or as detailed as JSON.
Tips and tricks to best utilize TimelineJS.
Keep it short, and write each event as a part of a larger narrative.
Pick stories that have a strong chronological narrative. It does not work well for stories that need to jump around in the timeline.
Include events that build up to major occurrences. Not just the major events.

New: World Health Organization (WHO) Releases Database on Nutrition, Obesity and Physical Activity (NOPA) Posted on June 5, 2011 by Gary D. Price From a WHO Announcement: The NOPA database has been created in close collaboration with health ministries and with support from the European Commission. It includes details on more than 300 national and sub-national policies that address nutrition, physical activity or obesity. Most of these policy documents have been developed in the past six years and refer to lifestyle trends such as the increasing consumption of industrially produced foods high in fat and sugar and declining physical activity. Physical inactivity and poor nutrition are considered to be risk factors to many non-communicable diseases, such as heart diseases and stroke, diabetes, cancer, and mental health disorders. The measurable indicators for policy development have been identified and monitored at the national level in accordance with the commitments made through the European Charter on Counteracting Obesity and the WHO European Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Policy 2007-2012. As an example of these commitments, the Nutrition, Obesity and Physical Activity Database shows that 28 Member States have stated that they plan to take action on physical activity in the school setting, 11 plan to address the adequate labeling of food products and 9 plan to deal with appropriate food marketing practices.
