HEAD OF REEBOK ASKING ACADEMY AWARDS TO HONOR FITNESS TRAINERS
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named a new academy president Tuesday night, cinematographer John Bailey. Less than 24 hours after the announcement, Reebok president Matt O’Toole released an open letter to Bailey asking that the academy honor the people who help actors get into fighting shape for the screen—namely, trainers, Adweek reported.
“We believe we must honor the bodies we’ve been given,” O’Toole wrote. “And I’m asking you to honor those who help propel our favorite artists to fame and fortune along the way. There are hundreds of major motion picture actors and actresses that transform their bodies for roles each year. Fans cheer for them during thrilling stunt scenes and weep for them when their characters lose a pinnacle fight. While their performances are lauded, their practice is not. The best scenes and storylines today often require amazing physical transformations, and actors and actresses rely heavily on a small field of expert trainers to get them in fighting, flying and filming shape.”
O’Toole also added that the academy, which was founded in 1927, has honored Best Makeup and Hairstyling for the past 36 years and that the work those artists have done has “defined the standards of beauty for generations.”

55% OF BUSINESS EMAILS READ ON MOBILE PHONES
Email messages opened on a mobile device have nearly doubled over the past five years.
A recent report by Return Path, a specialist in email deliverability, analyzed more than 27bn email opens between May 2016 and April 2017, finding that 55% of emails analyzed during the study period were opened on a mobile device. This is an increase from 29% identified in a similar study in 2012. Additionally, almost 80% of mobile email opens occur on iOS, quadruple the number of mobile opens on Android devices.
As mobile email has increased, only 26% of those emails opened on an internet browser over the past five years. Whereas webmail accounted for 37% of email opens in 2012, only 28% of emails are now opened on an internet browser.
Further, almost six out of every 10 webmail opens occur on Gmail, a significant increase from six per cent in 2012. Further, Gmail’s growth has come at the expense of Yahoo, according to Return Path, as Yahoo webmail opens have declined from 37% in 2012 to just five per cent during the study period.
FACEBOOK IS RAMPING UP ITS PREMIUM CONTENT PLAY WITH THE PURCHASE OF FAYTEQ
In the same week as it announced its entry to the video market, Facebook has confirmed the purchase of Fayteq, a company that specializes in post-production effects – a move suggesting that it wants to further premium content on the social network.
Details of the deal have not been publicly disclosed, although a Facebook spokesperson has confirmed the purchase with press. The startup is Germany-based, with its LinkedIn page suggesting that it has between 11-50 employees, and a statement on Fayteq’s website claiming that its “products and services are not available for purchase.”
Reports suggest that Fayteq specializes in both the addition and removal of objects to video content, which would further Facebook’s strategy of enhancing animated content on the network.
