A 19th century Fitbit?

This strange illustration comes from a book titled Animal Mechanism: A Treatise on Terrestrial and Aërial Locomotion, by Etienne-Jules Marey. Marey was a pioneer in the various fields such as cardiology, scientific laboratory photography, and cinematography. He even made improvements on Eadweard Muybridge motion picture studies by making the captures more scientifically accurate.

Here, a runner, not a cyborg, is provided with an apparatus intended to register his different paces.

Happy Diamond Anniversary (aka 75 years) to Styrofoam, invented by researchers in Dow’s Chemical Physics Lab in 1941! While “Styrofoam” is often applied to foam coffee cups and packing materials, the name “Styrofoam” properly refers to the Dow Chemical Company’s trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam commonly used for thermal insulation and craft applications. Composed of 98% air, Styrofoam is known for its buoyant and lightweight properties, characteristics Dow frequently highlighted in its advertisements for the product.

The 2016 Oscar nominations are out. And not a single actor of color was nominated – again. #OscarsSoWhite

The lack of diversity in Oscar nominations comes as no surprise to UCLA researchers at the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies, who have been tracking diversity in Hollywood films for years.

“Our research has shown that this is something that has been going on for years,” said Ana-Christina Ramon, assistant director of the Bunche Center, which produces an annual report on diversity in the entertainment industry. “There have been some good years, such as when ‘12 Years a Slave’ won a few years ago, but the pattern remains the same.“

Ramon said the film industry is making efforts to diversify, but said the pace is “glacial.” The Bunche Center’s research has found that movies with more female leads or characters of color sell tickets and are profitable.

“Films like ‘Fast and Furious’ or movies led by women like ‘The Hunger Games,’ they might not necessarily fit the mold of what gets nominated for an Oscar,” Ramon said. “In terms of what’s out there, audiences want to see more diversity onscreen and those movies are very successful.”

While change in the film industry is slow, Ramon said television is changing more quickly, a fact that will be reflected in the Bunche Center’s 2016 Hollywood Diversity Report, set for release Feb. 24.
