I. Background
A. Factual Background
Plaintiff is a prominent magician. In 1976, Plaintiff developed an illusion known as "Shadows." (Compl., doc. # 1 at ¶14). Plaintiff successfully copyrighted the illusion with the U.S. Patent Office in 1983. (Id., Ex. 1). Plaintiff has performed the "Shadows" illusion in front of an audience thousands of times in Las Vegas and across the country, and the illusion has become the signature illusion of his entertainment career. (Id. at ¶ 16).
Defendant is likewise an entertainer, based out of Europe. (Id. at ¶¶ 18-19 & Ex. 2). Defendant allegedly, at some date in the past, traveled from Europe to Las Vegas and watched plaintiff's entertainment show in person. (Id. at ¶¶ 20-22). Defendant, without authorization from plaintiff, allegedly created an illusion known as "The Rose & Her Shadow" that is similar to plaintiff's signature illusion "Shadows." (Id. at ¶¶ 20-22). Defendant then posted a video of himself on YouTube performing the illusion and offering to sell the secrets to the illusion at the conclusion of the video. (Id. at ¶¶ 22-23).
After discovering the YouTube video, plaintiff's counsel contacted YouTube about taking down the video because it allegedly infringed on plaintiff's copyrights, and YouTube eventually complied. (Id. at ¶ 25). Plaintiff then contacted defendant and informed defendant about the potential infringement of plaintiff's illusion.*fn2 (Id. ¶¶ 26-29). Plaintiff and defendant then began informal settlement negotiations that proved unfruitful. (Id. at ¶¶ 26-29).
B. Procedural Background
The above referenced facts culminated in plaintiff filing a complaint in this court on April 11, 2012, for copyright infringement in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 106 and unfair competition under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). (See id.). . . .
Defendant's citizenship and current whereabouts are unknown, and have not been known since the commencement of the action. (See Compl, doc. # 1 at ¶18; Belgian Writ of Summons, doc. # 18, Ex. 1; doc. # 21).*fn3 On April 30, 2012, plaintiff hired a private investigator to locate defendant in Belgium and serve defendant with the summons and complaint. (Doc. # 11, Ex. 2). Additionally, plaintiff retained a top Belgian law firm to properly effectuate service upon defendant. (Doc. # 11, Ex. 3). To date, defendant has evaded personal service and cannot be located in Belgium, Spain, or in any other country in Europe. (See docs. ## 11 & 24).
Even without service, defendant became intimately knowledgeable of the details of this lawsuit. (See Belgian Writ of Summons, doc. # 18). On or about July 27, 2012, defendant filed a lawsuit against plaintiff in a Belgian court alleging defamation, among other things, based upon plaintiff's complaint and filings in the instant lawsuit. (Id.). It is worth noting that defendant filed his lawsuit in Belgium, based on the pleadings in the American lawsuit, before this court authorized service by publication. (Id.; Order Granting Motion for Service by Publication, doc. # 10). Defendant has been aware of the filings in this suit from the beginning.
After defendant filed the Belgian lawsuit, plaintiff filed an emergency motion for service by publication. (Doc. # 8). This court promptly granted service by publication using defendant's email address associated with the YouTube video. (Doc. # 10). Defendant has now made multiple filings with this court including responses to motions, defendant's own motions, and an answer to plaintiff's complaint. The court will address each motion in turn.
II. Motion to Seal
A court should "treat judicial records attached to dispositive motions differently from records attached to non-dispositive motions." Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180 (9th Cir. 2006). "Those who seek to maintain the secrecy of documents attached to dispositive motions must meet the high threshold of showing that 'compelling reasons' support secrecy. A 'good cause' showing under Rule 26© will suffice to keep sealed records attached to non-dispositive motions." Id. (internal citations omitted).
Defendant states that "to prove to the Court how serious the Antwerp defamation case is, and how incriminating the [sic], by Mr. Teller, used documents are, it is necessary to show the US Court one of the exhibits used in the defamation litigation in Antwerp. These documents contains [sic] pornographic images." (Doc. # 22). Plaintiff counters by arguing that the proposed sealed evidence "is largely irrelevant . . ., lacks foundation, is presumably unauthenticated, and is meaningless without context." (Doc. # 27).
The court agrees with plaintiff. Whatever may be the current status of the lawsuit between these two in Belgium, it is presently irrelevant to this court and this lawsuit. The offered sealed exhibit--pornographic material--would have no bearing on the outcome of this lawsuit. It is irrelevant and unnecessary. The motion is denied. Defendant shall not file any pornographic material with this court as a sealed exhibit or otherwise.
III. Waiver of Service and Personal Jurisdiction*fn4 Plaintiff's motion (doc. # 26) seeks an order from this court holding that defendant has either
waived the defenses of service and personal jurisdiction or is subject to this court's jurisdiction outright. Defendant filed a response arguing against this court exercising personal jurisdiction and against waiving the service requirement. Defendant also filed a motion contesting personal jurisdiction and service.
The defendant filed an answer to the complaint contemporaneously with five unrelated motions that the magistrate judge has since resolved. Defendant filed his answer before: (1) the court ruled on plaintiff's motion to waive personal jurisdiction and service (doc. # 24); (2) the court ruled on defendant's own motion asserting personal jurisdiction and waiver defenses (doc. # 26); and (3) before plaintiff's motion to reconsider (which this court resolves in section IV infra) was even ripe.
The answer generally denies the copyright allegations, makes arguments regarding the defamation lawsuit currently pending in Belgium, and asks for a jury comprised of magicians. The answer is largely nonsensical. For example, defendant states "[m]agicians are like clowns, they only serve to entertain. Obviously stealing from each other is out of the question, and this has not happened here." (Doc. # 39, 8:25-27).
The defendant filed an answer to the complaint and thereby waived the defenses of personal jurisdiction and service. However, in the interest of justice, the court will go to the merits of both personal jurisdiction and service--even though those defenses have been waived. The court ultimately concludes that it has personal jurisdiction over the defendant and that service was proper.
A. Personal Jurisdiction
This court must consider the following three-prong test for analyzing a claim of specific jurisdiction:
"(1) [t]he non-resident defendant must purposefully direct his activities or consummate some transaction with the forum or resident thereof; or perform some act by which he purposefully avails himself of the privilege of conducting activities in the forum, thereby invoking the benefits and protections of its laws;
(2) the claim must be one which arises out of or relates to the defendant's forum-related activities; and
(3) the exercise of jurisdiction must comport with fair play and substantial justice, i.e. it must be reasonable."
Schwarzenegger v. Fred Martin Motor Co., 374 F.3d 797, 802 (9th Cir. 2004). "The plaintiff bears the burden of satisfying the first two prongs of the test." Id. "If the plaintiff succeeds in satisfying both of the first two prongs, the burden then shifts to the defendant to 'present a compelling case' that the exercise of jurisdiction would not be reasonable." Id. (citing and quoting Burger King Corp. v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 476-78 (1985).
With respect to prong one, a plaintiff must establish that the defendant either purposefully availed or purposefully directed him or herself to the forum state. See id. at 802. A purposeful direction analysis is appropriate for suits sounding in tort, whereas purposeful availment is more appropriate for suits sounding in contract. Id. (citing Dole Food Co., Inc v. Watts, 303 F.3d 1104, 1111 (9th Cir. 2002). For purposeful direction, courts should also consider the three-part effects test from Calder v. Jones, 465 U.S. 783 (1984). "Under Calder, personal jurisdiction can be based upon:
(1) intentional actions (2) expressly aimed at the forum state (3) causing harm, the brunt of which is suffered-and which the defendant know is likely to be suffered-in the forum state." Panavision Int'l., L.P. v. Toeppen, 171 F.3d 1316, 1321 (9th Cir. 1998). The purposeful direction test applied for tort cases encompasses trademark and copyright suits. Id.
Defendant eventually filed an answer in this case, a response to plaintiff's motion to waive personal jurisdiction and service, and his own independent motion addressing waiver and personal jurisdiction issues. (Docs. ## 25-26, 30). Plaintiff alleges to have met defendant when defendant approached him after a show. Defendant admits to spending a week in Las Vegas. Defendant also cannot deny there is a YouTube video of him performing an illusion that appears to be very similar to the illusion "Shadows" performed by plaintiff on an almost nightly basis for several years at his shows in Las Vegas. If the intentional acts by defendant were going to have effects anywhere, it would be Las Vegas.
Plaintiff can establish the first two prongs under Schwarzenegger and each part of the effects test from Calder. The defendant purposefully directed his activities (a YouTube video) at the forum and it seems as if defendant learned of the illusion in the video by seeing a show in Las Vegas. The court further finds that the exercise of personal jurisdiction is reasonable. Defendant is subject to the personal jurisdiction of this court.
B. Service
A personal jurisdiction and service analysis intertwine in certain contexts. See Benny v. Pipes, 799 F.2d 489, 492 (9th Cir. 1986) ("A general appearance or responsive pleading by a defendant that fails to dispute personal jurisdiction will waive any defect in service or personal jurisdiction."). A federal court does not have personal jurisdiction over a defendant unless the defendant has been served properly under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4. McCarty v. Roos, no. 11-cv-1538, 2012 WL 2885174, at *2 (D. Nev. July 12, 2012) (citing Direct Mail Specialists, Inc. v. Eclat Computerized Techs., Inc., 840 F.2d 685, 688 (9th Cir. 1988). Nevertheless, "Rule 4 is a flexible rule that should be liberally construed so long as a party receives sufficient notice of the complaint." Benny, 799 F.2d at 492 (quoting United Food & Commercial Workers Union v. Alpha Beta Co., 735 F.2d 1371, 1382 (9th Cir. 1984)).
Throughout the course of this litigation, defendant has admitted the he is fully aware of all pertinent happenings, motions, and developments; however, he insists that service has been inappropriate. Defendant has even stated "I will, after being served in the legal way, obey to the Court [sic] by taking my responsibility, I will defend myself and prove that there was no copyright infringement at all." (Doc. # 21, 3:15-17). Defendant continues by stating, "[i]t is also not logic to think I should file a 'counterclaim' since I have not been informed officially by legal service of summons." (Id. at 3:18-19). However, this court already permitted service by publication to an email address that defendant listed on his own YouTube video, and plaintiff has attached proof that defendant opened the emails. (Declaration of Cynthia Nay, Doc. # 24, Attachment 1, Exs. 2-3). The only reason defendant has not been personally served, as in a copy of the summons and complaint delivered into defendant's hand, is because defendant surreptitiously evaded substantial attempts of service by plaintiff.
Further, "[t]he general attitude of the federal courts is that the provisions of Federal Rule 4 should be liberally construed in the interest of doing substantial justice and that the propriety of service in each case should turn on its own facts within the limits of the flexibility provided by the rule itself." Wright & Miller, 4A Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ. § 1083 (3d ed.); see also Petrie v. C.I.R., 686 F.Supp. 1407, 1411 n. 5 (D. Nev. 1988) (stating that the interpretation that Rule 4 be construed to do substantial justice "is consistent with the modern conception of service of process as primarily a notice-giving device."). "The party on whose behalf service of process is made has the burden of establishing its validity when challenged; to do so, [he or] she must demonstrate that the procedure employed to deliver the papers satisfied the requirements of the relevant portions of Rule 4 and any other applicable law." Id. . .
In defendant's first filing the court, he states "I'm over the age of 18 years and residing in Belgium -- Europe." (Doc. # 16; 1:19).*fn5 When serving an individual in a foreign country, Rule 4(f)(1) states service can be made "by any internationally agreed means of service that is reasonably calculated to give notice, such as those authorized by the Hague Convention on the Service Aborad of Judicial and Extra-judicial Documents." However, Article I of the convention states that it "shall not apply where the address of the person to be served with the document is not known." Hague Service Convention, art. 1, Nov. 15, 1965, 20 U.S.T. 361.
Defendant's location and address are unknown because he has purposefully gone underground in an attempt to subvert service. Even though the Hague Convention never applied to defendant, plaintiff has made substantial efforts to comply with the treaty and properly provide notice to defendant. Plaintiff has attempted to serve defendant in all the following ways: retaining a Belgian law firm to assist with service; hiring the Firbank Bureau Investigation, international private investigators, to locate defendant; mailing defendant certified copies of the complaint and summons to every rumored address of the defendant; mailing and attempting to personally serve defendant at the address listed in his own complaint in the Belgian action; mailing a copy of the legal proceedings and emailing a copy of the complaint and summons to the counsel listed by defendant in his Belgian complaint; and, hiring a Belgian bailiff to attempt to personally serve defendant at every rumored address. (See docs. ## 1, 8, 11, 24).
This court has already permitted service by publication pursuant to Rule 4(f)(3) because defendant's address and whereabouts are unknown and therefore the Hague Convention does not apply. (Doc. # 10). "Rule 4(f)(3) is neither a last resort nor extraordinary relief." Rio Properties, Inc., v. Rio Int'l Interlink, 284 F.3d 1007, 1015 (9th Cir. 2002). In Rio, the Ninth Circuit permitted email service by publication because the defendant "listed no easily discoverable street address in the United States or [abroad] . . . and designated its email address as its preferred contact information." Id. at 1018. Like the defendant in Rio, "[i]f any method of communication is reasonably calculated to provide [defendant] with notice, surely it is email." Id. at 1018. In fact, one concern of the Rio court was that "there is no way to confirm receipt of an email message." However, here, defendant has responded to email and in fact responds only to emails. Plaintiff has even provided receipt verification documents that defendant has read the pertinent emails.
This court has held that the purpose of Rule 4 is to fairly apprise the defendant of the cause of action against him and the facts supporting the claims. Roos, 2012 WL 2885174, at *2 ("Rule 4 is a flexible rule that should be liberally construed so long as a party receives sufficient notice of the complaint."). Plaintiff, probably at great expense, attempted to serve defendant through multiple avenues. One of the methods, probably service by publication via email, effectuated service and defendant is apprised of all the pertinent happenings in this lawsuit. The court finds that plaintiff has successfully and appropriately served defendant.
IV. Motion to Reconsider or Clarify
Plaintiff requests that this court clarify, or, in the alternative, reconsider its prior order. This court has already declined to issue an anti-suit injunction. (See doc. # 28). Plaintiff now moves the court to enjoin defendant from arguing the substance of the claims in this court, copyright infringement, in the Belgian action. The court will not enjoin defendant from pursuing his defamation case in Belgium or from raising any arguments in that court.
The relief sought by plaintiff is very similar to the relief sought previously in plaintiff's request for an anti-suit injunction. Plaintiff first moved this court for an order enjoining defendant from pursing his defamation claims in Belgium. Now, plaintiff moves this court to enjoin defendant from defending the merits or arguing the merits of this case in the Belgian court. However, this court will not enjoin defendant's actions in the Belgian action.
Motions for reconsideration "should not be granted, absent highly unusual circumstances." Kona Enters., Inc. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 890 (9th Cir. 2000). "Reconsideration is appropriate if the district court (1) is presented with newly discovered evidence, (2) committed clear error or the initial decision was manifestly unjust, or (3) if there is an intervening change in controlling law." School Dist. No. 1J v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993); Kona, 229
F.3d at 889-90 (listing same three factors).
First, plaintiff argues that this court should enjoin defendant from raising the copyright claims in dispute in this case in the Belgian lawsuit. Plaintiff argues that defendant's filings in the Belgian litigation indicate he may litigate the copyright claims in Belgium. This court declines to enjoin defendant from litigating any claims in Belgium. See Quaak v. Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler Bedrijfsvrevisoren, 361 F.3d 11, 17 (1st Cir. 2004) ("The decisional calculus must take account of th[e] presumption in favor of concurrent jurisdiction.") (considering anti-suit injunctions).
In the alternative, plaintiff argues that the newly discovered evidence that warrants reconsideration is the fact that defendant is becoming more vexatious and harassing in the Belgian suit. It is true that defendant's defamation suit in Belgium against the plaintiff in this case has a vexatious flavor. The court implied as much in its last order. However, as stated in this court's previous order, the vexatiousness consideration is one of seven total considerations in a three step test on anti-suit injunctions. The vexatious flavor of the Belgian suit alone cannot overcome the fact that no other factor weighs in favor of an anti-suit injunction. The motion to reconsider does not even make arguments about the other considerations in the complete three step test from Microsoft Corp. v. Motorola, Inc., 696 F.3d 872 (9th Cir. 2012).*fn6 The motion to reconsider is denied and the motion to clarify moving this court from enjoining any of defendant's activities or arguments in a Belgian court are denied.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that defendant's motion to seal (doc. # 22) be, and the same hereby, is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that plaintiff's motion to waive service and personal jurisdiction (doc. # 24) be, and the same hereby, is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that defendant's untitled motion (doc. # 26) be, and the same hereby, is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that plaintiff's motion to clarify or reconsider (doc. # 31) be, and the same hereby, is DENIED.

Anglesey | Anglesey has a 125 mile long coastal path and its beaches are much quieter than those on the mainland. The sea water is usually crystal clear in summer but the beaches are not lifeguarded. Inland the island is relatively flat with little traffic making it popular for cycling. It's a very picturesque county and public footpaths are in good condition. |
Llyn Peninsula (Gwynedd) | The Llyn Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The southern shore has long sandy beaches, whilst the north side is indented with smaller sandy beaches and secluded coves. A wide variety of pebbles can be found on the shores including plenty of pure white quartz pebbles. The beaches are not lifeguarded. |
Cambrian Coast (Gwynedd) | The Cambrian Coast's beaches are long, west facing and sandy, but are not lifeguarded. British Rail's Cambrian Coast line runs along here, and has stations near most of the beaches. Just a few miles inland the terrain becomes mountainous, with lakes and wooded valleys to explore. |
Ceredigion | (Pronounced 'Kerra-dig-ee-on') Ceredigion's beaches are mostly west facing, and are usually good for surfing. Llangrannog and Penbryn are worth a visit. Inland the terrain is very hilly. |
Pembrokeshire | Most of the coastline here is part of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, and has everything from sandy family beaches to quiet secluded coves. In summer the main beaches are lifeguarded and boat trips operate to the offshore islands of Caldey, Skomer and Ramsey. |
Carmarthenshire | Carmarthenshire has a relatively short coastline, with Pembrey's 7½ mile long beach being the best. Inland Carmarthenshire has some fine scenery but it is not good walking territory. Overall, the condition of rights-of-way is probably the worst in the UK and walkers would be well advised to avoid this county. |
Gower | The limestone peninsula of the Gower is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and has mostly sandy bays along its southern shore and long sandy surf beaches along its western coast. The roads tend to be narrow and winding and have changed little over the years, so expect congestion during busy periods! The Gower is good walking territory and public footpaths here are exceptionally well maintained. |
South Wales | The Glamorgan Heritage Coast comprises much of the coastline of south-east Wales, and to the east the beaches are mostly rocky with some sandy bits and backed by unstable cliffs of blue lias. West of the Ogmore River the beaches are south-west facing and backed by dunes. The sea water tends to be a muddy brown near Cardiff slowly becoming clearer towards the west. |
Somerset | The Somerset Coast borders the Bristol Channel, with the sea water and beaches to the east being very muddy. Better, sandier beaches can be found to the west, with a magnificent stretch of coastal path into Devon. Inland the scenery is superb and Somerset is good walking territory. |

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)You are being watched: 7,500 drones in U.S. airspace within five years, FAA says
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
November 8th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Is that a bluebird on your shoulder? Or, worse yet, a high-tech, drone unmanned aircraft watching your every move? That's the latest bit of alarming news from the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA. There could be as many as 7,500 commercial drones within the next five years. FAA Administrator Michael Huerta unveiled a long-awaited regulatory blueprint that seeks to protect Americans' privacy, while simultaneously seeking law enforcement and private companies seeking to operate unmanned aerial vehicles. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Huerta says the agency will set up six sites across the country to test drone operators. He did caution that there could be delays for those looking to obtain certificates to operate unmanned aircraft once the regulatory guidelines are in place."We must fulfill those obligations in a thoughtful, careful manner that ensures safety and promotes economic growth," Huerta said in a speech to aerospace industry executives. He ensured other that safety in increasingly crowded skies was his agency's top priority. The announcement is just the latest step in the march toward transitioning drones from military against terrorism to civilian applications. This could range anywhere from collecting survey and weather data to assisting rescues and law enforcement operations. This new growth industry has raised concerns among privacy advocates. The FAA is requiring future test sites to develop privacy plans and make them available to the public. "Make no mistake about it, privacy is an extremely important issue and it is something that the public has a significant interest and concern over and we need to recognize as an industry that if we are going to take full advantage of the benefits that we are talking about for these technologies we need to be responsive to the public's concerns about privacy," Huerta said. American Civil Liberties Union legislative counsel Christopher Calabrese told that while the FAA's requirement for public disclosure of data and retention policies are needed and welcome, the safeguards do not go far enough. "It's crucial that as we move forward with drone use, those procedural protections are followed by concrete restrictions on how data from drones can be used and how long it can be stored. Congress must also weigh in on areas outside of the FAA's authority, such as use by law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security, which have the ability to use drones for invasive surveillance that must be kept in check," Calabrese said. Legislation has been introduced by Sen. Edward J. Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, and Rep. Ted Poe, Texas Republican, and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, California Democrat that if passed, would require law enforcement agencies to obtain warrants before using drones to collect surveillance data on U.S. soil. "People are really worried about drone use. You see it in a huge number of state bills and laws, and I think the FAA needs to understand that if they don't address privacy issues then drones are not going to be a useful technology," he said. "Privacy can't be swept under the rug." A birth foretold: click here to learn more! Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

R2-D2 Wooden iPhone Dock: Help Me Etsy-Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Hope
You know, it's funny that with all of the R2-D2 merch I've seen over the years, I've never envisioned the little maintenance droid in wood. But now that I've seen him made out of the stuff, I rather like the way he looks.
This rustic wooden iPhone dock was handmade by Mario of Valliswood, and bears more than a passing resemblance to R2-D2. He was made using sustainable hardwoods found in the woods of Croatia, and measures about 9 inches-tall, and his head swivels open to dock your iPhone or iPod Touch. I always thought that R2 should have an iPhone dock built into his body somewhere.
You'll need to provide your own charger cable, but R2 is compatible with the iPhone 3G/3GS, iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5 and iPod devices except the shuffle and new nano. R2 was always such a versatile droid, wasn't he?
The R2-D2 dock is selling for $210(USD) over on Etsy. If you want him sitting under the Christmas tree this year, you'd better move quick before some sneaky Jawa snatches him up from under your nose.

My expertise in digital communications comes from my work as an editor for four years at the widely read Feministing.com, as well as her over six years of managing the online communications work of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. I've worked with more than ten organizations in my time as a consultant, and I'm ready and excited to partner with you.
Digital Media Strategy
My favorite work is helping organizations achieve their mission through digital means. I believe strongly that all of our digital platforms—websites, blogs, email lists, social networks—are only as useful as our understanding of how they help us achieve our broader goals. As a consultant who has worked with more than ten different organizations over four years to do precisely that, I have an arsenal of tools and a wealth of experience to help you build your digital media strategy. You can start with building a strategy for a specific campaign, or think bigger picture toward building, revisiting or strengthening your digital strategy for your entire organization.
Digital Capacity Building
As technology develops and more of us use online tools to connect, organizations have to scale up their digital capacity through staffing and technology. By assessing your current digital capacity and through my experience working with a variety of organizations of all sizes, I can recommend where you need to expand, where you might contract, and provide support and resources for making it happen. Digital media can use an incredible amount of resources without measurable returns if we aren't thoughtful and strategic. I can guide you or your institution through the process of evaluating the current state of your digital capacity and where you need to go next to best utilize your resources.
Progressive Media & Blogger Outreach
Through my work as a blogger, freelance journalist and four years serving as Editor for Feministing.com, I know the progressive media world well. I have relationships with close to 100 writers and outlets that are constantly looking for new topics to cover in their publications and blogs. Together they reach an audience of millions—people who already care about our issues, and are poised to take action. I've worked with a number of organizations over the years in pitching their work to progressive publications and blogs and have a great track record for getting new eyes on important work. My personal relationships are the key, and I know exactly what these Editors and bloggers are looking for. No canned press releases here—this is personal, dedicated outreach that reaps great results.
I love training, and have built curriculum for a whole host of digital communications trainings. I've worked with organizations and spoken at conferences on topics like writing for the web, social media for campaigns, blogging for social change, overall communications strategy and more. I'm happy to build a customized training for your staff, grantees or conference attendees. My style is conversational, concrete and always focused on providing advice that helps trainees move their work forward. No wordy powerpoints or talking heads—this is about practical advice in an accessible style.

Gray, gray, gray, gray!
It is not a color.
It is the dark bloated corpses of clouds
heavy with unshed snow.
It is the moon's frail, barren face
shining through a dirty window pane.
It is the broken teethy stones that line a shore

It is the gentle mark of time

Hundreds of friends, families and co-workers will march for health babies at the annual March for Babies Saturday, April 20 at Lake Park Lodge. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and the walk begins at 9:00 a.m.
Sarah and Adam Gilbertson walk in the Winona March for Babies in the honor of their son Henry and in memory of his twin sister Gracelynn, who passed away during pregnancy due to an infection.
Their journey has been one of sadness and joy. Henry was born 12 weeks early in 2011 when the family was living in Billings, Montana. Henry weighed 2 pounds, 1 ounce. We lovingly called him Scrappy because of his fighting spirit, said Sarah.
Because of his weight and size, Henry experienced many difficulties. Due to his underdeveloped lungs Henry received surfactant therapy, a lifesaving treatment developed by March of Dimes grantees. Henry also underwent a PDA ligation, a heart surgery to help him regulate his blood pressure, and he contracted pneumonia.
During Henrys hospital stay in Colorado, Adam landed a new job in Minnesota, closer to family. Henry was transferred to the newborn intensive care unit at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Childrens Hospital. After 150 days and three NICUs, Henry went home weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces!
Throughout their journey, Sarah and Adam received support from the March of Dimes. Their presence and support
Today, Henry is a happy 2-year-old who is walking, talking, and incredibly smart. He also loves to sing, dance, count and say his ABCs.

I've never been to New Orleans. This cannot stand. I write about food, and I've never been to one of America's greatest food cities. How can I let that happen? Where's my travel agent?
*Stops, looks at credit card statement. Turns slightly pale. Slides statement to the bottom of the pile of bills.
Um…as I was saying, I like to do culinary travel in my own kitchen. New Orleans has a bunch of signature dishes - Jambalaya, etouffee, boudin, po-boys, red beans and rice…the list goes on.
*Man…remind me, why haven't I gone yet?
Gumbo is more than a dish. Gumbo is the perfect description of New Orleans. A collision of cultures mixing into the perfect pot of soup.
Now, I'm not from New Orleans. To paraphrase Terry Pratchett, I'm so far from New Orleans that I've wrapped around and I'm rapidly approaching from the other side. I won't let a little thing like that stop me from making their classic soup.
*PS: No pressure cooker? No worries. Check out the variations section for a non-pressured version of the recipe.
Recipe: Pressure Cooker Chicken Gumbo
Adapted From: Emeril Lagasse, Louisiana, Real and Rustic
Cooking time: 45 minutes
- 6 quart or larger pressure cooker (I used my Cuisinart Electric pressure cooker)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound smoked sausage, preferably andouille, sliced 1 inch thick
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon Cajun spice rub
- 1 large onion, minced
- 1 bell pepper, minced
- 1 large stalk celery, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 quarts chicken stock (preferably homemade)
- 1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
- Salt and Pepper
- Tabasco sauce
- Cooked white rice (preferably long grain, cooked with a tablespoon of butter)
- 1/2 cup minced parsley leaves
1. Brown the sausage and chicken:Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the pressure cooker over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the smoked sausage and cook until well browned on both sides, about 4 minutes. Remove the sausage to a bowl using a slotted spoon, leaving as much oil behind as possible. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook until well browned on both sides, about 6 minutes. Add to the bowl with the sausage, again leaving as much fat behind as possible.
2. Cook the roux:
Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil, flour, and Cajun seasoning to the pressure cooker. Cook, stirring constantly, until the flour is the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
3. Saute the aromatics:
Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic to the roux. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt and cook, stirring often, until the aromatics soften, about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the gumbo:
Stir in the sausage, chicken thighs, and any juices in their bowl. Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the roux isn't sticking. Pour the can of diced tomatoes on top, lock the lid, and bring the pressure cooker to high pressure. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the pressure come down naturally, about 15 minutes.
5. Season and serve the gumbo:
Remove the lid from the pressure cooker (carefully, the escaping steam will be very hot). Taste the gumbo, and add salt and pepper as needed, and a splash of Tabasco sauce. (If you use homemade stock, without any added salt, this will take more salt than you think. A tablespoon of Kosher salt usually works for me, but I start with a half tablespoon and keep adding and tasting.) To serve: put a scoop of white rice in a bowl, ladle the soup on top, then sprinkle with parsley. Pass the Tabasco sauce at the table for anyone who likes an extra kick with their dinner.
- No pressure cooker? No problem. Cook the recipe in a sturdy dutch oven or large pot. For step 4, instead of pressure cooking, bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 45 minutes. Continue with tasting and seasoning in step 5.
- The traditional sausage for gumbo is andouille, but any smoked sausage will work. It won't quite be the same thing...but it will be good.
- I think I burnt my roux - if you look in the roux pictures, you can see little flecks of black. Remember, keep stirring, instead of posing peanut butter for pictures. Oh, wait, that's a suggestion for me, not you. Never mind.

Yin represents the energy that is responsible for moistening and cooling bodily functions. When this energy is depleted your body begins to show signs of "heating up". This is not a true heat but rather a lack of the moistening and cooling functions that are necessary to maintain a healthy balance. Foods to tonify Yin include;
It is important to ensure that stimulating foods are not being consumed, as these will only further depleate yin. Caffeine, alcohol, sugar and strong heating/ pungent spices all belong in this category. Note. Yin building foods like yin tonifing herbs have a tendency to be congest the spleen and promote stagnation if large amounts are consumed.
It is therefore important to consume small quantities frequently rather than large helpings irregularly.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Black
This BB cream helped sustain the worst breakout I've ever had in my life. No foundation/BB cream had ever broken me out before, so I didn't think this could be causing it until I ran out one day and the next few days, no new pimples (after 3 horrific months of breakouts every day)! I had an initial breakout most likely because of messed up sleeping habits which probably would've gone away if I hadn't piled on this BB cream every single day, further inflaming my pimples and clogging my pores.
It's a bummer because this has great coverage and I loved that it didn't make my face look pink or orange, like most western foundations do. It did make my face feel pretty sticky/oily throughout the day though. I would apply it in the morning and it felt like it never really set, transferring everywhere and even coming off on my hands sometimes when I touched my face--and I don't even have oily skin, so I wouldn't recommend this for those with any sort of oily/combination skin.
Oh well, live and let learn.

This is a Japanese bb cream that I bought for around $26, almost $30 with tax.
There are two shades available and I got the lighter one (I'm NC20, MUFE HD 117, yellow undertones). It is a bit light but I love that it has a yellow undertone. It's perfect because it's not a harsh, darkish, ugly yellow which you see a lot in Western foundations, but a very light yellow that's just beautiful.
The consistency is creamy, not thick. It blends in beautifully and leaves a rather dewy finish. One thing I have to mention is that the finish is not as flawless and smooth as I have seen with my Korean bb creams or Western foundations. It's kind of hard to explain, but I wish the finish was a lot better. It's just not that beautiful. I never notice lacking finishes with foundations or bb creams, so I think it's telling that I notice something is a bit off with this product.
Another thing is that this bb cream never really dries down. It's always a bit wet on my skin, which gives it a constant dewy look. I don't dislike this, and I can't say if it's a general issue or due to my oily skin. (I'll update this review after trying the bb cream with my mattifying sunscreen.)
Coverage is good but I personally don't see it as medium. I'd say you can go from sheer to light. I suppose you could pack this one and get to medium, but I only see it going to light-medium. As with most bb creams, this makes your make-up look really natural. If you use more than a sheer layer, just give it a bit to settle in and you'll see it looks pretty natural.
Oil-control is nonexistent and lasting-power is just okay. I can't really see it going all day even with powder, but then again, I do have oily skin.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Normal, Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown
This was my go-to BB cream for about a year - I then bought the same product in the Sorbet version but this is better. Sorbet is an airbrush spray style, which is a bit messy and sorta scares me when I do it. This is a creme, you squeeze it out of the tube.
For me it is a winter colour (I'm about NC25-30-35) and has a nice warm yellow tone which is perfect for my asian skin. No grey cast and you don't have to wait for oxidisation like with most pale BB creams. This won't really oxidise anyway.
I have tried many BB creams, all of them from asia (except for the Garnier oil-free which I bought today) and I bought this because its a slightly darker tone and also a yellow base. The tube lasted me about 8 mths.
The coverage is full but you can sheer it out. This works perfectly mixed with either moisturiser or sunscreen (I mix it with Invisible Zinc) for sheerer coverage, and the SPF level isn't specified. If you are looking for a good coverage BB cream, this is it! Less is more as a little goes a long way.
It naturally has a satin matte finish, but when mixed with other products that changes.
What I like best about it is that it doesn't emphasise pores, it covers them.
I also get a long day out of it, and it doesn't turn into an oil slick!
All in all, definitely a repurchase, I aim to have some of this on hand every winter.
p.s. this is a bit more pricey than other BB creams, perhaps cheaper in Japan but i bought this in HK and it wasn't that cheap.

Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I swapped for this product after hearing rave reviews online and comments that it is a light coloured BB cream perfect for very fair Asian skin. While I loved the herbal smell of Nanoce BB cream and its coverage, this bb cream was way too yellow for me. Yes this doesn't have the infamous grey tint of many Korean bb creams but the Nanoce is definitely very yellow based. I'm more neutral-cool (NW 10-15ish) so this sadly did not work out for me at all. I also personally found it to never quite fully set... like it always seemed to stay a bit creamy and wet on the face even after powdering and checking again after half an hour. Also I wouldn't recommend this to people with dry flaky skin as this clung to and enhanced the small dry flakes I had around my nose.

So I decided to try this product based on the good reviews here and I'm glad I did. I have been a happy user of both Missha Perfect Cover and Cho Bo Yang BB creams for about a year, enjoying the fuller coverage, sunscreen and skin benefits. Lately, I've been gettiing a few breakouts and also felt that in the extreme heat of a Texas summer, the Missha was a little too greasy and might be the culprit. I ordered this cream in shade #2 (Healthy Ochre) and while it's not perfect for my semi-tanned skin right now, it is still doable and will be perfect in the winter. I am 54 years old, with light-to-medium skin

FINALLY a bb cream that matches me! I've tried all the major brands from Korea and find that their color match lacking. They were too gray and neautral. So I heard that Japanese bb creams might be better since they are yellower in general which is a great match for my yellow toned skin. I use no.2 healthy ocre.
This bb cream is a little thicker in consistency but still spreads like butter and dries semi matte. Great finish for winter, but it might run during the summer. I do have very oily skin so the staying power of this isn't great during the summer.
This is harder to find, and costs about $25-26 in little Japanese stores. You might have better luck finding it cheaper online. But I think it's well worth it since it's the only bb cream that suits my skin pretty well.

It's no surprise that this is the top rated bb cream on mua right now. I picked up a tube on a trip to Nagasaki, and wish I had bought more than one.
This product gives the highest coverage of the bb creams I've tried (BRTC gold caviar, Missha perfect cover, and Missha real complete), finishes matte, and lasts a pretty long time. I also find it has more yellow tone in it than any of the others, which does a good job of cancelling out redness.
The only real problem with it is that if you have dry skin, it can give you that chalky effect, so this product is probably not the best for those who really battle with skin dryness, or who don't exfoliate regularly.
Overall, the coverage is my favourite part. My skin looks perfect with this on and nothing else. It even covers my intense undereye circles, which no other bb cream has. Too bad it's been much harder to find where I live compared with the Korean brands.

I have gone through perhaps 10 tubes (at least) of this BB cream. It is the only BB cream I use. I have tried all of the other BB creams out there including Missha, Legere, skin79, Hanskin, BRTC.. etc. This one has the best colour match and the texture is perfect. It's just thick enough that i don't need a concealer and it also feels just moisturizing enough but it doesn't break me out! If they ever discontinue this product, I don't know what I'd do!!

Izzy Stradlin joins Guns N' Roses on stage in London.

Izzy Stradlin joins GnR on stage in London.
Posted By Metal Sludge
Ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Izzy Stradlin joined his former band on stage earlier tonight (Thursday, May 31) at the O2 Arena in London, England to perform the songs "14 Years" and "You Could be Mine".
Since the show has not ended yet, it is likely that Stradlin will play at least a couple of more songs with GN'R before they call it a night.
The last time the "Use Your Illusion II" track "14 Years" was performed live by GUNS N' ROSES was in August 1991, also in London.
Stradlin previously joined GN'R on stage for a few shows in 2006.
Both Izzy and GUNS N' ROSES lead singer Axl Rose skipped the band's recent induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Stradlin issued a statement the week before the induction, thanking his bandmates, the Hall Of Fame for "the acknowledgment of our works over the years," and the fans who "have supported GUNS N' ROSES from day one."
Former GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan joined Axl Rose on stage for the first time in seventeen years at the band's October 14, 2010 concert in London.
Axl & Izzy do some singing together.

I need to replace a tub/shower mixer trim plate. The identifying mark on the plate is a bordered letter "C" stamped into the plate a bit low on one side. (Note, this is not for "cold", but appears to be the manufacturer symbol). Plate screw holes are at 4 and 8 o'clock.
Anybody know the maker? Thanks very much. |

The J. Paul Getty museum is putting its collection online, which is currently in beta. Fortunately, some of the items available in the beta are nine Dodgson photos.
The J. Paul Getty museum is putting its collection online, which is currently in beta. Fortunately, some of the items available in the beta are nine Dodgson photos. My acrophobia notwithstanding, this is a very cool photograph, well deserving of its win in the Clique Challenge in Sydney. Read the full story. Two of the most famous photographs Dodgson made of Alice Liddell have been promised to the Carnegie Museum of Art: "Alice Liddell as a Beggar Maid" (1858, albumen print) and "Alice with Garland" (1860, glass negative). The gift, from the collection of William Talbott Hillman, also includes key works by Roger Fenton, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Alfred Stieglitz and represents "an exceptionally important addition" to the museum, in the words of Linda Benedict-Jones, curator of photographs. "Indeed" she continued "they may pave the way for further collecting of iconic works by such recognized masters of the medium." I haven't been able to find an image of "Alice with Garland" online. If anyone reading this knows where to find one, could you link to it in the comments below? If you like underwater photography – and what landlubber doesn't? – there's an artist named Elena Kalis who specializes in just that. Her latest series is called "Alice in Waterland and Looking Glass," and comprises of lovely submerged Alices. Her entire portfolio can be seen here. Have you ever heard the story of how Lewis Carroll inspired the career of Staten Island photographer Alice Austen? I thought not. Read all about it in Alice Austen's Amazing Adventures in The Wonderland of Staten Island on the official website of "The Forgotten History of Staten Island." Before you get too worried about what else you might have missed in your studies of the great man, check out some of the other unexpected tales on the website, all purportedly the work of Dr. D. I. Kniebocker (Staten Island's self-described "greatest historian"). The website has been created by questioning historian Ed Weiss, who also coordinated related installations and readings around Staten Island last year. And remember, as Voltaire is supposed to have said, "History can be well written only in a free country." The Dormouse in Chapter VII of The Annotated Alice (pgs. 93-95) gets the following footnote from Martin Gardner: This is the second blog post in a series for the LCSNA called Gardner's Annotations Hyperlinked, in which we employ the mighty power of the internet to illuminate, investigate, and of course provide links for the footnotes from The Annotated Alice. The only dormouse native to the British Isles is the Hazel dormouse, which is indeed more closely related to a squirrel than to a mouse. (The suborder Sciuromorpha contains chipmunks, squirrels, and dormice. Mice and rats are muroids.) Although dormire in Latin does mean "to sleep," it might not be directly related to the etymology of "dormouse." The Wiktionary's etymology: "From Middle English dormous, of uncertain origin. Possibly from dor-, from Old Norse dár ('benumbed') + mous ('mouse'). … Although the word has come to be associated as an Anglo-Norman derivative of Old French dormir ('to sleep'), no such Anglo-Norman word is known to have existed," and it cites the Random House Dictionary as its reference. (The dormousian association with sleepiness seems to go back centuries – the Elizabethans apparently rubbed dormouse fat on the soles of their feet to induce sleep, according to The Sleepyhead's Bedside Companion by Sean Coughlan. How could an animal both nocturnal and hibernating have any other reputation? We posted a cute viral video of a snoring dormouse a few months ago here.) As for Gardner's one literary reference in his note, the Pre-Raphaelite memoir Some Reminiscences of William Michael Rossetti (1906), it's widely available and has been reprinted multiple times in the past decade. Google Books has several accessible copies of the text: Vol. I here; Vol. II here. It is true that C.L. Dodgson knew the Rossetti's and would hang out with them sometimes. It is also true that Dante Gabriel Rossetti owned several wombats (and some dormice and other exotic pets), and that one beloved wombat would entertain at dinner parties. However, it's impossible that Gardner read in that specific book that Rossetti's wombat "may have" inspired Carroll's dormouse, because it's neither written there nor true. In Volume I of Some Reminiscences, William Michael Rossetti describes some of the "beasts" Dante Gabriel kept in his garden, after which he describes his indoor pets: Hilarious! The wombat ate some fancy cigars. Sounds like a good party (except for the shortage of tobacco). He then goes on to describe several drawings of wombats by Edward Burne-Jones he owned, and of poetry by Christina Rossetti which mentions wombats as well. ("When wombats do inspire / I strike my disused lyre.") Carroll is not mentioned in Volume I. Neither is any dormouse nor any of the Alice books ever mentioned in either volume of Some Reminiscences. In Volume II, William Michael Rossetti has one uninspiring paragraph about Carroll: The only mention of wombats in Volume II is a reference to his unsuccessful attempt to purchase one in Sydney. So where did Martin Gardner learn that Rossetti's wombat inspired Carroll's Dormouse? I don't know, but he didn't invent the idea. That honor goes to the Pre-Raphaelite painter Ford Madox Brown. The artist's grandson, Ford M. Hueffer (who changed his name to Ford Madox Ford and became a 20th Century novelist) wrote the book on Madox Brown in 1896: Ford Madox Brown: a record of his life and work. He also describes the Rossetti zoo and some legendary parties: Note Ford's subtle skepticism of his grandfather's word. I found the final nail in the coffin to the Wombat-Dormouse theory in a 2003 lecture by Angus Trumble, the Harold White Fellow at the National Library of Australia, Canberra. Trumble adds some Australian local knowledge to his scholarship, in a talk called "Rossetti's Wombat: A Pre-Raphaelite Obsession in Victorian England." He says "impossible," because his research shows that Dante Rossetti had bought the first of his pet wombats in 1869. I don't know how big an épergne usually is, but dormice certainly fit more easily into teapots than wombats do. Do wombats fit in teapots? Do teapots fit in wombats? Several final discoveries about cute animals owned by Pre-Raphaelites before we go. One of the earliest drawings by Dante Gabriel Rossetti was of a dormouse – he drew pictures of his pet dormouse named "Dwanging" when he was about six years old. It looks to me more like a cave painting than anything drawn by any pre-tween I know. In Dante Gabriel Rossetti: his family-letters, Vol. I, his brother also describes his pet hedgehog, which also hung out on the family dinner table. So Dante was into pets long before he acquired his own large collection of strange creatures as an adult. What became of the wombat? It died. American artist James McNeill Whistler's version of the story (from this early biography) has the wombat skeleton discovered in the cigar box. (A humongous cigar box?) I wouldn't attempt to guess how Rossetti's wombat actually died, but eating tobacco is extremely poisonous. According to the Wikipedia, "The LD50 of nicotine is 50 mg/kg for rats and 3 mg/kg for mice. 0.5-1.0 mg/kg can be a lethal dosage for adult humans, and 10 mg (0.1mg/kg) for children." A cigar contains around 150 mg of nicotine. Wombats weigh between 20 and 35 kg. Eating even a single cigar would very likely kill a wombat. Again, I'm not trying to perpetuate the theory that Rossetti's wombat died from eating cigars at the dinner party in question. But either William Michael Rossetti's anecdote is more than "only somewhat exaggerated," or it didn't end well for the wombat. Before there was Instagram, people used chemical emulsifying processes to make their photographs look cool. An American artist named Mabel Odessey will have a site-specific installation at France's Château de Lacaze from May 6 thru 30th, using the distinctly retro technique of pinhole photography. She described the show to us in an e-mail: Lacaze is in the Southeast Tarn department of France. Mabel Odessey has many more galleries of her pinhole photography at her website www.mabelodessey.com. An article by Odessey and pictures from the installation will be featured in the Spring 2012 Knight Letter number 88, available to LCSNA members. In Russia, a forty-year-old professional photographer named Vladimir Clavijo-Telepnev has also been creating beautiful old-fashion images of Alice. His series called Alice in Wonderland can be seen at his website here. There's also a nice YouTube montage: The world premiere of Septime Webre's ballet Alice (in Wonderland) in Washington, D.C., is less than a month away and Washington Life magazine is readying the town with a front cover photoshoot for their March edition. Sneak peak pictures are below and more can been seen online at Washington Life. Also on the website is a behind-the-scenes account of the photoshoot, which involved trampolines, live white rabbits, and photographer Dean Alexander snapping the camera at just the right moment. Alice (in Wonderland) will run April 11-15 at The Kennedy Center, Eisenhower Theater, Washington, D.C.. There's a chance to see one of Charles Dodgson's photographs up close at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston between now and August 5 this year. "Xie Kitchin Asleep on Sofa," taken on July 14, 1873, is a recent acquisition by the museum and has been included in their new exhibition, Silver, Salt, and Sunlight: Early Photography in Britain and France. Other photographic pioneers celebrated include William Henry Fox Talbot, Edouard Baldus, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Francis Frith. Salon.com has posted a slide show of exhibition highlights in an article entitled Postcards from the Dawn of Photography. The main article features an interview with Anne Havinga, the Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh senior curator of photographs at the museum. Havinga gives some interesting background to the exhibition and mentions Dodgson's picture in particular: "…that's our newest acquisition, so we're very proud of it. Lewis Carroll's work has a market beyond the photography world, so these images are expensive." The exhibition has also been reviewed by Mark Feeney for the Boston Globe.

You want to buy cars from people who are passionate about them, and care about things like quality, craftsmanship, and creativity.
As Chrysler Group is, Fiat is run by "car people" who believe in the above.
And, with a hat tip to its Jeep® and Chrysler brand counterparts, Fiat Automobiles unveiled a new 90-second TV ad for its redesigned Fiat Panda, sold in Europe. The Fiat Panda is a city car made at the company's Pomigliano d'Arco plant, near Naples, Italy. Workers from that plant play an integral part in the video, according to a news release:

Facebook has officially rolled out its new Page Insights analytics bringing better insight in a more simple-to-understand manner.
Facebook has officially rolled out its new Page Insights analytics. While some page managers may have already been experimenting with the data as an early adopter, for many, it's a brand new look. So let's quickly go over what you can find in the new analytics, which Facebook promises to bring better insight in a more simple-to-understand manner.
First, Facebook explained the major changes of its analytics in an announcement:
To help Page admins better see how people interact with their content, we split the People Talking About This (PTAT) metric into separate elements: Page Likes, People Engaged (the number of unique people who have clicked on, liked, commented on, or shared your posts), Page tags and mentions, Page checkins and other interactions on a Page.
And it also explained what's staying the same:
All APIs associated with the old Page Insights will remain available to Page owners and developers; any future changes to these APIs will be announced in accordance with our Developer policies. We'll also work to add APIs for new Page Insights metrics as they become available, so Page owners and Developers can track key metrics more easily.
It's also important to note that there are no immediate plans to change People Talking About This (PTAT) as a public-facing metric on Pages; PTAT is still available via the old exports and API.
When you first land in your analytics, you'll notice the look has changed. There are six separate tabs to analyze the metrics that matter, starting with the "Overview" tab, where you'll get a snapshot of what's been happening in your Facebook account over the past seven days, and you can drill down from there.
The next tab to the right is the "Likes" tab, where you can see data about the likes your brand is receiving. One common theme in the new Insights is the ability to drill down into data more than ever before.
One example of the data you can access is what day garnered how many likes, and where those likes came from by moving your mouse over the graph. You can also select the options to the right of the graph to hone in.
The "Reach" tab comprises metrics that factor into Facebook's News Feed algorithm, including likes, comments and shares of posts. You can delve into a specific period of time by using the calendar selector, or by clicking and dragging your mouse across the graph.
Dates you select will present a pop-up window that will show you the posts within that timeframe and their engagement level (note the "virality" metric you might be used to seeing is now called "engagement," and additionally includes clicks as part of its measurement).
The engagement rate is the percentage of unique people who clicked on, liked, commented on, or shared a post divided by the total number of unique people who saw the post.
The "Visits" tab shows you where people came from (referring traffic), and what tabs within your page they interacted with while there. It also shows things like how many times your page was mentioned within a defined period of time you choose.
In the "Posts" tab, you can get a better understanding of your content's performance. The "When Your Fans Are Online" tab shows you when your fans are on Facebook, adjusted to your local time zone.
On the tab to the right of that, "Post Types" shows you what types of posts are reaching and engaging the most people, for example, status updates, photos, or links.
You can sort the table data in several ways by selecting the drop-down menu, as well as clicking on the "Reach" or "Engagement" table heading.
If you see a post you want to learn more about, simply click on the link to the post. Facebook aggregates a bunch of information about the performance of a particular update and presents that in a pop-up window.
The "People" tab not only gives you insight about your page's fans, but also your fan demographics compared to the general population of Facebook. So we can see here that this page has an audience that is primarily male, and of that male audience, 31 percent is age 25 to 34.
But don't forget about the fans that are actually engaged, which can be a more telling indicator than just those who have liked the page at one point or another. You can access this this information under the "People Engaged" tab.
This high-level introduction is merely scratching the surface of what you can do in Facebook Insights. There's a lot more data just waiting to be uncovered in the newest version of this social network's analytics.
My advice? Go in there, start playing around and applying what you've learned to see if it moves your metrics in a positive way. Happy mining!

You know how sometimes you get in those fights that are so old and obtuse that you can't even remember what they were originally about? Well, that's exactly the kind of thing in which Yves St. Laurent designer Hedi Slimane and New York Times fashion columnist Cathy Horyn are currently embroiled.
I guess something like eight years ago, Horyn wrote a review — not of Slimane's show, but of designer Raf Simons' work. In it, she claimed Slimane's ascension would not have happened had it not been for the work of Simons. "Essentially I wrote that without Mr. Simons's template of slim tailoring and street casting, there would not have been a Hedi Slimane," explained Horyn in a 2012 blog post.
