Why Black Panther’s box office success matters

Movies spotlighting people of color are kicking ass right now. \n\nRead our full review of Black Panther on Vox.com: http://bit.ly/2ExE9xf\n\nThe buzz around the Black Panther movie release should come as no surprise to anyone keeping tabs on representation in media these days. People want movies that feature people of color and their stories. But there is a dearth in the supply of films produced that do that. Vox spoke with the UCLA sociology professor Darnell Hunt about how Hollywood has progressed to diversify its characters and stories to reflect the demographics of the US. Watch this video to understand how America’s changing makeup is key to Black Panther’s early dominance at the box office.\n\nFor a closer look at the data, you can visit these links:\nhttp://bunchecenter.ucla.edu/2017/02/21/new-2017-hollywood-diversity-report/\n\nhttps://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045217\n\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Why ships used this camouflage in World War I

Dazzle camouflage was fantastically weird. It was also surprisingly smart.\n\nWWII saw another kind of strange history unfold: a meme (yes, really). Watch our video on it here: http://bit.ly/2Co9DEu\n\nSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO\n\nDazzle camouflage was a surprisingly effective defense against torpedoes. In this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards explains why.\n\n\nWorld War I ships faced a unique problem. The u-boat was a new threat at the time, and its torpedoes were deadly. That led artist Norman Wilkinson to come up with dazzle camouflage (sometimes called “razzle dazzle camouflage”). The idea was to confuse u-boats about a ship’s course, rather than try to conceal its presence. In doing so, dazzle camouflage could keep torpedoes from hitting the boat — and that and other strategies proved a boon in World War I.\n\n\nThis camouflage is unusual, but its striking appearance influenced the culture, inspired cubist painters’ riffs, and even entered into the world of fashion. Though dazzle camouflage lost its utility once radar and other detection techniques took over from u-boat periscopes, for a brief period in time it was an effective and unusual way to help ships stay safe.\n\nVox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

State of the Union Address 2018 and Democratic response: Coverage and live stream from CBSN

President Donald Trump gives his first official State of the Union Address from the United States Capitol in front of a joint session of Congress.\n\nOur live stream begins at 5:00 p.m. and will continue through Trump's speech, scheduled for 9:00 p.m., and the Democratic response that follows. Our coverage continues after both speeches through midnight.\n \nYou can also follow the CBS News Live blog of Trump's speech here: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-state-of-the-union-address-2018-01-30-live-blog-live-stream-updates/\n\nRepresentative Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) will be delivering the Democratic response, shortly after Trump concludes.\n\nCBSN, the 24-hour streaming news network from CBS News, will have live, wall-to-wall State of the Union coverage from 5pm through midnight, including reporting and analysis from both sides of the aisle leading up to President Trump's speech and the Democratic response and will include the CBS News Special Report coverage from 9 - 11 pm.\n\nThe State of the Union Address is an annual, wide-ranging speech a sitting president delivers before Congress early in the year. That speech is used to reflect on the progress of the previous year and help set the president’s agenda for the coming year.\n\nThis is Trump's first official State of the Union Address. The speech Trump gave last year to a joint session of Congress was not called the State of the Union. A president’s address during his or her first year in office is never referred to as a State of the Union address because after just a few weeks into his term, a new president isn’t expected to know the full state of the union.
