A performance of Loïe Fuller's Serpentine Dance by an unknown dancer, colorized black and white film, circa 1890s.
Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), an American dancer, was a pioneer of modern dance and the inventor of the Serpentine Dance. To achieve the abstract colorful illuminated aesthetic of the Serpentine Dance, she collaborated with her partner (in work and in life) Gab Sorère (1870-1961), one of the rare (if not the only) feminine French art promoters, filmmakers, stage designers, mechanical innovators and choreographers of the Belle Époque (1871-1914). The two women made multiple films together, few of which survived.
It's unsure how many recordings of the Serpentine Dance from the time are actually performances of Loïe Fuller, or of dancers who followed in her footsteps, some maybe borrowing her name. A lot of the films we can find today of the Serpentine Dance were produced by the Edison Studios and the Lumière brothers, often featuring the dancer Annabelle Whitford.

The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities.
