PureMédias

PureMédias, formerly named imedias.biz until April 2008, and Ozap from April 2008 to January 2011, is a French website devoted to news and entertainment media.

History

imedias.biz was created in December 2002 as a bimonthly webzine in the free hosting from Internet service provider Free.

Then in November 2004, the site turned into a media portal, including the publication of briefs (including the results of médiamétrie), articles and interviews. In September 2005, news related to films were added.

In September 2006 a new version was launched, including a system of files records on films, series, shows or personalities from the media universe.

In September 2007, imedias.biz associated with Cyréalis and had a permanent editorial.

In April 2008, imedias.biz became Ozap.com. Then the website content was divided into four sections: "media", "cinema", "music" and "series". In addition to its many files records, Ozap.com also aimed to develop interactivity with its readers and new services (television programs, movie times, compare prices and pre-listening music tracks or movie trailers). In June 2010, a new version of the site was launched with more photographs.

Pure (The Lightning Seeds album)

Pure is a compilation album by pop band The Lightning Seeds, released in 1996 and reaching #27 in the UK Albums Chart.

The first of what would turn out to be five compilations Ian Broudie released from 1996 to 2006, Pure, The Lightning Seeds' first release by Virgin, is almost a reissue rather than a compilation, since it consists of all but three of the songs released by Epic on the first two albums, Cloudcuckooland from 1990 and Sense from 1992; the only songs missing are one song from the first album ("Control the Flame") and two from Sense: ("Where Flowers Fade" and "Marooned").

Pure (Miller novel)

Pure is a 2011 novel by English author Andrew Miller. The book is the sixth novel by Miller and was released on 9 June 2011 in the United Kingdom through Sceptre, an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton. The novel is set in pre-revolutionary France and the upcoming turmoil is a consistent theme throughout. It follows an engineer named Jean-Baptiste Baratte and chronicles his efforts in clearing an overfilled graveyard which is polluting the surrounding area. Baratte makes friends and enemies as the cemetery is both loved and hated by the people of the district.

Miller was inspired to write about the Les Innocents Cemetery after reading historian Philippe Ariès's brief description of its clearing and imagining the theatrics that must have been involved. The novel received positive reviews, particularly noting the quality of writing. The novel was awarded the Costa Book Award 2011 for "Best Novel" and "Book of the Year", and was nominated for the Walter Scott Prize and South Bank award.
