11/11/2023 Duração: 02minMilicent Patrick, a trailblazing artist and designer, achieved iconic status for her creation of the Gill-man costume in the classic 1954 film "Creature from the Black Lagoon." Patrick's meticulous attention to detail and artistic flair brought the aquatic creature to life, making it a memorable and enduring symbol in the realm of cinematic monsters. Her innovative approach to creature design, particularly the Gill-man's amphibious features and haunting aesthetic, contributed significantly to the success and cultural impact of the film. Despite her pivotal role, Milicent Patrick faced challenges in receiving due credit for her creation. The studio, Universal Pictures, downplayed her involvement, attributing the costume solely to Bud Westmore, head of the makeup department. This overshadowing of Patrick's contribution was unfortunately reflective of the gender biases prevalent in the industry during that era. Nevertheless, her legacy endures as a pioneer who defied conventions and left an indelible mark on th

07/11/2023 Duração: 04minOnce upon a time in the Hundred Acre Wood, Eeyore found himself in yet another gloomy day. The gray clouds loomed overhead, matching his perpetually pessimistic mood. Eeyore was pondering life's futility when he heard a small, pitiful voice interrupt his existential reverie. A tiny, ragged child, no taller than a honey jar, approached Eeyore and with an innocent yet quivering voice, said, "Excuse me, Mr. Eeyore, I'm ever so hungry, and I need 38 cents for a smackerel of honey." Eeyore, being Eeyore, looked at the child with his classic wistful gaze and responded, "38 cents, you say? Well, I've got about that much enthusiasm left in me, so I suppose you can have it." He handed over the coins, and the child beamed with gratitude. As the child skipped away to find their honey, Eeyore couldn't help but mumble to himself, "38 cents for a smackerel. What a peculiar currency they use in the Hundred Acre Wood. Not that I have any use for honey, but if they ever start selling clouds or rainstorms, I'd be rich." And

07/11/2023 Duração: 01minHelen Thompson Woolley's dissertation, titled "The Mental Traits of Sex: An Experimental Investigation of the Normal Mind in Men and Women," was a groundbreaking work in the field of psychology. Completed in 1914, Woolley's research aimed to challenge prevailing stereotypes and beliefs about gender differences in mental abilities. Her study was one of the earliest systematic attempts to investigate whether there were significant cognitive disparities between men and women. Woolley conducted a series of experiments involving memory, attention, and reasoning skills, comparing the performances of men and women across various tasks. Woolley's findings were significant, as they challenged the notion of innate intellectual differences between the sexes. Her research demonstrated that there were no substantial disparities in mental abilities between men and women, and any observed variations were attributed to environmental and cultural factors rather than inherent biological distinctions. Her work contributed to t

I give you a question
02/11/2023 Duração: 01minThe mystery question that arises here is: How can something so seemingly impossible be achieved? Magic, at its core, is an art of deception, a beautifully crafted illusion that blurs the lines between what we know and what we believe. Magic's true beauty lies in its ability to suspend disbelief and transport us to a world where the impossible becomes possible. It reminds us that, in the realm of magic, the boundaries of reality are not fixed but are, instead, limited only by our willingness to believe. It's a testament to the power of the human imagination and the endless possibilities that can arise when we choose to embrace the magic in our lives.

This Day in Women’s History (Spooky Speaker)
30/10/2023 Duração: 01minThe Pregnancy Discrimination Act, which was enacted in the United States in 1978, helped protect the rights of pregnant workers. It amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions. This act made it illegal for employers to discriminate against women based on their pregnancy status and required them to treat pregnant employees in the same manner as other employees with similar abilities or limitations. In essence, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act played a significant role in ensuring that pregnant women in the workplace receive fair treatment, reasonable accommodations, and are protected from discriminatory practices that were prevalent before its passage. It helped promote gender equality and protect the rights of pregnant employees by ensuring they are not unfairly disadvantaged or mistreated due to their pregnancy. Social: @Duhoceanscience
