About this project
LomoKino Premiere: The Experimental Short Film Festival from Lomography
We got selected in the LomoKino Premiere from Lomography, more than 1000 film lovers got gathered on the 21st of June at the Palafox Theather to enjoy a Big Night of Experimental Cinema. It was the first time one of our videos was projected in a movie theatre, and it was a Big One!
Press & Buzz
Hello You Creatives / Riot Cinema / Lomography International, France & Spain
About the Film
Everything That Moves Is Moved By Others is an upcoming independent short film about someone without identity that lives everyday in the same day. But, a whisper under a moving rock will make him realize that anyone can give motion to everything else. As the beloved moves the lover of love, or the earth revolves around the sun by gravity. And so on, until you reach the sphere of fixed stars, that should also be moved by something. Because everything that moves, is moved by others. But if for some reason, the moving cause stops, all the movement will cease.
The short film has a surrealistic cinematic style, and is inspired by some premises of the New Age movement. The story picks up and plays with many philosophical ideas, such as those concerning reality, authenticity, determinism, free will and human potential.
Why We Need Your Help
The story has got a great start and now we need your help. Our goal is to achieve $16,000, that will allow us to film the second part of the short film and to fully fund it. We have been working on this project since January 2012, with a lot of research, creative thinking, sketching and writing. We decided to start shooting the first part of the short film in May, and we drove all the way to The Death Valley for a one-week shoot. Back In San Francisco, we edited the first 30 rolls that we filmed, and we made the first part of the short film. Now, The primary goal is to finish the story of Everything That Moves Is Moved By Others. We want to film the second part of the story, and try to do our best to make this short film memorable.
Where and How We Are Shooting
We are filming it with LomoKino a weird analog camera from Lomography, that shoots on any 35mm film. It will add a dreamy photographic texture. And we have filmed in Death Valley, CA. An exceptional place where you can find moving rocks in the middle of the desert. What? Did you say moving rocks? Yes, it is a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along the valley without human or animal intervention. Finding this place in our location research was amazing; it is the perfect setting for the concept of our film. Everything that moves, is moved by others.
Why We Are Making It
We are students and we always try to spend as little as possible. But this is our first "big production". We are looking for funding because even a small budget is a huge budget when you try to film it with your personal budget. A friend told us about the crowd funding, a new way to fund creative projects which anyone can make a little donation and get a reward. So we thought - that idea is amazing - It is like the concept of our short film - Everything that moves, is moved by others - Lets do it!

Since I am a college student and perpetually strapped for cash I am always trying to save money where it is possible. So right now I have decided that I can live without cable tv service and I will probably get rid of their broadband internet services as soon as I am able to determine which dsl service provides me with the best price performance in my area. I know people who spend between one hundred and fifty dollars and two hundred dollars on their cable bill, without including any added costs. Some of them still use the pay per view buttons to rent the latest movies, but that is pretty silly. Read More »
We are the Association for Freedom of Information. Our goals expressed in our Constitution, are:
1. Disseminate and respect the ethical values of the Freedom of Information, giving them priority over individual interests. These ethical values, specified in the Four Freedoms of Information, listed below, applied to a specific body of information that we call work. Some information (or work) is considered free if the following freedoms:
- The freedom to use the work for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study the work, and adapt to your needs (freedom 1).
- The freedom to redistribute copies of the work so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to improve the work and release your improvements, and modified versions in general, to benefit the whole community (freedom 3).
2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, according to the nature of the information (or work) being treated, certain of the above freedoms are not applicable or not needed. For this we distinguish three categories for the works; adapted to Castilian proposals by Richard M. Stallman [1], founder of the GNU Project, whose magnum opus is the license for free software most used and influential in our day, the GNU GPL [2]:
- Functional works: software, dictionaries, textbooks, software documentation. In this case, the four freedoms are necessary.
- Works testimonial: scientific writings, ancient writings. In this kind of work, the author could decide on whether to allow editing. Therefore, in this case Liberty 3 is not always necessary.
- Works of personal expression or legal, newspapers, autobiographies, reviews, novels, logos, licensing and legal contracts, logos . In this kind of work, the modification is not ethically justifiable because it would possibly defame that person, or manipulating their views, opinions, personal or legal. Therefore, in this case Liberty 3 is neither necessary nor desirable. Freedom 2 is partially required: it is necessary to allow people to study, but may not adapt or change. The same document goes into this section by legal and personal nature.
3. Carry out its core business through its Internet website, http://www.libertadinformacion.org, the partners may agree if they want to face meetings to address topics that are interesting, specific activities or any other legitimate reason.
4. Promote the development and creation of free information in various media, analog books, magazines, pamphlets …; Digital: software, music, ebooks …
5. Social pressure to release information and patents of others that may exist on this information.
It wasn't too long ago that smart phones began to rule over our world; I remember, not even a decade ago, when the idea of a smart phone being more than a new gadget would have shocked most futurists. I remember how we did our best to make our phones smaller and smaller. Now? We're elevating them to computing devices that fit in the palm of our hand and yet, despite their power and great design, they're nothing without the Apps. That's why the android app marketing has become such a big deal, a huge impact on the market and even changing how we look at and interact with computers and phones. Apple had a brilliant stroke of genius when they released the App market place, giving consumers a chance to be a part of the growth that happens organically whenever a new product is released out into the market.
They had a fundamental understanding that the community is responsible for propelling the growth and success of a new device.
We live in an age where many companies are beginning to restrict the technology that you purchase from them. While you may make a purchase and feel as if you 'own' the device, in reality you only 'own' the 'right' to use the advice; no modifications can be made, no 'hacks' to be able to improve or change the device in any way – hardware or software! This truly limits creativity in the technical world but with designs like facebsearch.net pirater un compte facebook and others, individuals and consumers are slowly taking back the right of the freedom of expression, the freedom to be inspired by creativity. While I can, in some ways, understand a company desiring to protect what it sees as its own intellectual property – in reality they are merely taking advantage of a currently abused and loop-hole riddled copy write systems that punishes the creative and rewards those quick enough to patent ambiguous designs.
I have a difficult time understanding why the creative commons license is no applied to any work after a set amount of years, rather than allowing for a constant re-newel of intelligent property and copy write rights. In the end, after so long, we will see a dramatic decrease in innovation as more and more ideas, and ideas that may just be similar in concept and design, being restricted. They will be shot down, they will be sued and they will only suffer due to their desire to create something new and interesting or to produce something that can improve upon existing products. Money, while important, is far less important than protecting the right to our creative abilities. Without creativity, many fields in our society will suffer due to the lack of such and fearing to be creative is only going to stifle our very economical might.
Once I found the carbonite offer code, I knew that I had found exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to find a way to store my photos and be able to share them with my family without posting them to a social networking site where they could be viewed by everyone that is connected with my family.
I love the freedom of information in this country, but I do not like the fact that once you put your family photos and things online that anyone can gain access to them and use them however they would like. I like to share, but I also like to retain my right to privacy while I am doing so.
I thought that putting my files on a file storage site that I would be able to share the log in information with my family and friends that I wanted to see them and that they would be able to access them easily. I also liked the fact that I would be able to get the pictures and things back if anything bad was to happen to my computer.
Figuring out which storage site to use was one of the more difficult parts of my decision to do this. I could not decide which site to use since there are so many of them out there. Once I took the time to do the research and found many reviews, I decided that the carbonite site was the way to go.
I was then able to find the code that I did and it finalized my decision. I would be able to store everything right there and it was not going to cost me as much as I had thought that it would. In fact, it ended up costing me less to store what I needed to store for less than half what it would have on the other sites.
It is important to back up the files on your computer, as you never know when something could happen that can make them disappear forever. While online backup is generally one of the best routes to take, there is some expense involved. One well-known backup company, Carbonite, will occasionally offer a carbonite code to help offset some of the costs involved. If you aren't familiar with online coupon codes, they work much like an actual in-store coupon does; you simply apply the code you have during the checkout process for immediate savings on whatever it is that you are buying. In many cases, these codes can save you quite a bundle, and they are generally pretty easy to find.
If you want to save the most money, though, it is imperative that you do your research ahead of time. Prior to purchasing your online backup service, begin looking through different sites that offer coupon codes.
Opens source software or technology has been grossly misunderstood by many people as free software. That definition might just be a little satisfactory but it doesn't explain deeply the background details of what this type of technology is all about. In plain terms open source software technology is the production and development of the ideology of giving developers and end users the permission to view the sources code of software technology as well as modify it to suite their personal use and interest. The opposite of open source software is the closed source version where users are forbidden from attempting any form of reverse engineering on the technology.
This technology is developed with the aim of facilitating technological development by allowing just about anyone to make modifications that will serve the purpose of people in different spheres of life. With this kind of freedom users are able to take control of their own software in line with their requirements and budgets. Developers of the software want other people to add their own features and modification to increase its quality and security, and then redistribute it to other people at will. These types of software allows for the establishment of a community of contributors and developers to work on the project so that features, modifications and improvements are made on the source code to ensure its continuity. Developers of open source technology also want to help create software that people can use without having to pay for it. This means that the technology is free for everyone to download and use.
The most important benefit of open source software is its ability to allow for knowledge sharing and facilitation. How does it do this? The open source knowledge community attracts the brightest and most learned developers who themselves are not paid but are motivated by the inspiration to create a massively successful technology through collaborations. It is a fact that knowledge and information is scattered all over the globe. With the availability of free source technology people indifferent places can make their own contributions to the knowledge base after assessing the most current and highest information. Rather than for material gains and money, authors involved with the open technology are motivated by peer recognition and pride. Open software allows authors to make corrections to the source code without any commercial interest in mind; this makes people work hard to ensure that it comes out excellent to benefit everyone.
For an organization to develop its knowledge base and information sharing capacity they need carry out proper implementation of open source technology. Information sharing in group collaboration to achieve greater capacity is achieved by reviewing based collaborations, so as to get approval before the content is made available to members. Change notification is also employed so that members of the knowledge group can know exactly when a collaborated document is updated. Revision control is run automatically for new reviews to be created and old ones accessible. There are comprehensive discussions to have access to permanent search conversions and the group collaboration can be used as a multi-author publishing tool.

You may have heard that the Federal Reserve Bank (aka. The Fed) has raised its interest rate by one quarter percentage point to 2%. (Another way of saying one quarter percentage point is 25 basis points—a "basis point" is a hundredth of a percentage point.)
Digressing for a second, I should clear up any confusion about the difference between "percent" and a "percentage point," since I know this wasn't clear for me in the beginning.
Let's say you have money stored in some kind of wonderful fantasy account that yields you a 50% increase each day, compounded daily. That means, if you start with $100, you will have $150 at the end of the first day. A 50% increase over the next day will leave you with $225.
If your rate of 50% is increased by 10% (that's 10 percent of 50, or 5), you will find yourself a rate of 55%. If your rate of 50% is increased by 10 percentage points rather than percent, the result is a rate of 60%.
It all makes perfect sense, but the terminology is a little confusing for beginners.
Back to the point. What does the federal interest rate increae mean for you? It means different things whether you are mainly in debt or mainly saving money. Bankrate fills you in on the details, but mainly adjustable rate mortgages and short-term cerificates of deposit are hit with rate increases quickly, while others terms of credit or savings interest are a little slower to react.

Dale Shaylor journeyed to Florida in search of a life-saving liver transplant -- only to find the surgery has a price tag far out of the missionary pilot's reach.
Shaylor, a Deltona father of three who has Hepatitis B, said he was told that to get on a list to receive a new liver from a cadaver, he would have to make a deposit of nearly half a million dollars -- $425,000 to be exact.
"A transplant is not something that's covered as an emergency -- it's more of a luxury item," said Shaylor, 40, referring to what he's learned in the last month about his options.

UPDATE: Mandate has confirmed that this is really a thing that's happening. However, the project will be a remake instead of a sequel as originally reported. Diablo Cody is currently doing a rewrite on a script by Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues.
It's been a pretty tumultuous day for not believing Evil Dead 4 would actually happen. First, Dread Central received word that Sam Raimi's editor Bob Murawski is in Detroit to start work on a new Evil Dead movie. Which is news that isn't exactly a confirmation. Then Bruce Campbell took to Twitter to say:
"Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell."
Of course it's scary as hell. They're working in Detroit. But that still isn't exactly a confirmation. Then Bloody Disgusting dug up an ancient book that revealed Fede Alvarez (Panic Attack! short) has been hired to direct. So maybe this thing is actually happening. But there are still so many unanswered questions. Who will be cast? Is Bruce Campbell playing the lead? Most importantly, should we give Bruce Campbell a pass for using the term "dawg?"
Consider posting a comment.
Hail to the King baby.
Hail to the King baby.
Evil Dead Rocks….Hope Bruce is in the lead
Bruce Campbell is the only guy in the world that can say Groovy and make it sound bad arse. Nuff said

On January 27, 2014, as this writer drove to a Court hearing for Lawyer Michelle MacDonald, a local radio station reported that North Korea had successfully landed a man on the Sun.
North Korea confirms it has landed a man on the Sun http://po.st/KpzdCJ
The radio announcer went on to speculate about the degree of control the North Korean Government must have over its populace. And this writer also contemplated how the North Korean Government could so control the Populace's perspective of reality to such a degree that they would accept such a preposterous assertion. What are children taught about the temperature on the moon? (indoctrination) or do other economic sanctions to the individual thwart North Koreans from determining truth for themselves and/or vocalizing that opinion? (suppression) or does North Korea's version of our NSA round up those who dare ridicule the government and punish them (repression/oppression). And, in that frame of mind, a few minutes later this writer arrived at the Dakota County Courthouse in Hastings, Minnesota.
Before this writer goes further, it is important to note that he has delayed publicizing this story for 2 reasons: 1) The official record has a way of changing. The longer one waits, the more the record gets reduced to writing and becomes more difficult to erase. Transcripts by Court Reporters are notorious for being rewritten to suit the whims and desires of the "powers that be"; 2) Your government is so afraid of what this author writes that they have created technical difficulties and engaged in other retribution against this writer in violation of his 1st Amendment Rights. (I will write about this more in Part 2 of "Another Scam in the Minnesota perverse meritocracy") With that side bar, we continue now with the rest of the story.
To begin with, our Courts like to subvert justice, and/or cover up injustice, by breaking related events up into separate individual issues. This hearing is one of a series of injustices your Minnesota Government and Judiciary are trying to cover up with regard to the matter of Divorce case of Sandra Grazzini-Rucki vs. David Rucki. In this matter, a year after the Divorce was finalized by a different Judge, Judge David L. Knutson took it upon himself to erase the original Divorce Order of Sandra Grazzini-Rucki vs. David Rucki. (So much for that alleged judicial precept that justice should be final so parties can get on with their lives) In this matter Judge David L. Knutson took the 5 children and the family home of 14 years away from Sandra Grazzini-Rucki on the basis of a phone call with no Due Process Pursuant to the Rule of Law on the dubious assertion of spousal alienation. (David Rucki had received at least four other properties, parenting time and the family trucking business.) You can read more about the underlying injustices here:
Judicial Corruption vs. 1 Minnesota Attorney with ethics, selflessness & a spine" http://t.co/uWg7ysSER5
Married? The Judicial Assault on your Unalienable, Natural Law Rights http://t.co/GHVbMEQ35j
What this writer alleges is that the criminal charges against Lawyer Michelle MacDonald are both retaliatory and intended to obstruct justice. It turns out that Lawyer Michelle MacDonald was charged with taking a picture of the Court room while the court was NOT in session. (More about that later) In summary for those who have not read previous articles:
Lawyer Michelle MacDonald was arrested and detained for the crime of taking a picture of the courtroom while court was not in session, during a recess. Her shoes and glasses were removed from her person and she was put in handcuffs. Court Personnel told her client to go home as obviously things were not going to continue. The Client took the lawyers files not wishing them to be compromised or mysteriously disappear (given the bizarre circumstances transpiring with this Court). Later, Judge David L. Knutson recalled the case indicating he was unaware of most of what had transpired. Judge David L. Knutson forced Lawyer Michelle MacDonald to continue the case without shoes, glasses, client or files in handcuffs.
In a sworn Affidavit, Judge David L. Knutson claims he did not see Lawyer Michelle MacDonald was in handcuffs for the hearing when he forced her to proceed.
For the reader to make sense of this Obstruction of Justice, this writer must inform them of two aspects of the law that of which they may not be aware:
- Only things on the official court record are supposed to be used in the Court issuing its rulings. It does not matter how many times you told your lawyer, your family, your friends, posted it on the internet or it was reported in the newspaper; any information, testimony and/or evidence that is not made part of the official court record is treated as though it does not exist.
- On appeal, it is almost an insurmountable obstacle to introduce new evidence.
With those facts in mind, it seems pretty apparent to this writer that Judge David L. Knutson was attempting to prevent his previous injustice from being uncovered and reversed. Judge David L. Knutson appears to have tried to achieve this by rattling Lawyer Michelle MacDonald and presenting a set of obstacles to prevent evidence from being put on the official court record. And, Dakota County Court Administration employees went along for the ride, well aware of the carrots and sticks that might be used to reward and/or punish their respective complicity or resistance to the desires of the powers that be. (Trading WE THE PEOPLE's Liberty for their own personal gain) And with that introduction, let's visit what transpired at the January 27, 2014 hearing for Lawyer Michelle MacDonald.
This was an initial hearing for Lawyer Michelle MacDonald and was to include the testimony of Minnesota State Judge David L. Knutson and others who had been subpoenaed. But the setting was in the form of a Small Claims Court Cattle Call. That is the say the Judge heard cases from many litigants in a seemingly arbitrary order. At some point, this writer openly speculated to other supporters of Lawyer Michelle MacDonald in the Court Room that her case would be called last so there would be no witness to the Government's injustice. And then there was a recess. During which all the remaining Cases were transferred to another Judge (to get rid of the public) and only Lawyer Michelle MacDonald's case would be heard.(This is one of the ways Minnesota Courts commit their injustices in broad daylight yet avoid witnesses to the judicial crime.)
This writer has to admit it was difficult to hear the legal proceedings over the roar of the railroad passing through the court room. First, Minnesota Taxpayers had the privilege of paying for Judge David L. Knutson's attorney, Alethea Huyser, via the Minnesota Attorney General's office. Attorney Alethea Huyser trotted out the tried and true, Judicial Immunity defense to begin the Quashing of Judge David L. Knutson's subpoena. Michelle MacDonald's attorney pointed out that judicial Immunity meant immunity from being sued for their legitimate Judicial Actions while acting in their official capacity. (You heard right, Minnesota Judges have given themselves power like North Korea's Leader Kim Jong-un – They can't be questioned – more on that later) Lawyer Michelle MacDonald's Attorney cited case law and argued Judicial Immunity is extinguished when the Judge acts outside statutory requirements. Further, he argued that judicial Immunity applies only to be sued personally, not to giving testimony under subpoena.
Hastings City Attorney Daniel J. Fluegel tag teamed with Attorney Alethea Huyser in moving to quash the Subpoena for Judge David L. Knutson to testify. Attorneys Daniel J. Fluegel and Alethea Huyser seemed to argue that every act of living, including breathing and walking, were immune from Discovery because they somehow constitute a Judge's "Work Product" [http://goo.gl/eCDCPP ]. Instead the Tag Team crew of Attorney Alethea Huyser and Attorney Daniel J. Fluegel proposed that a Sworn Affidavit from Judge David L. Knutson would suffice the needs of the Defense.
It is this affidavit offered by attorneys Alethea Huyser and Daniel J. Fluegel, in lieu of direct testimony of Judge David L. Knutson, in which Judge David L. Knutson swears that he did not realize an attorney practicing in front of him is not wearing handcuffs. Now, first to my rank and file American readers, in deference to this writer's preference for his readers to determine truth for themselves; "How preposterous does that assertion that judge didn't see a lawyer practicing in front of them was in handcuffs" sound to you?" Now for all you Lawyers and Judges; "How preposterous does that sound to you?"
This writer gives all Minnesota Judges and Lawyers fair warning that now is the time to clean your own house. If the Minnesota Legal System does not enforce the Rule of Law and Legal Decorum, this writer will make sure the true nature of your alleged honor and integrity (or lack thereof) is made apparent to rank and file Minnesotans and Americans. (Since 2005 hundreds of Minnesotans have asked for a hearing dedicated to giving evidence and testimony of corruption in the Minnesota Courts. We have been denied every year since. After 9 years this writer believes it is fair for Minnesotans to conclude that our Legislators are colluding with Judges to cover up this Systemic Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice.)
The Court summarily quashed the Subpoena for Judge David L. Knutson. Now no one, including Lawyer Michelle MacDonald, can question Judge David L. Knutson's involvement with having Lawyer Michelle MacDonald arrested. Nor can they cross examine Judge David L. Knutson and force him to explain how he did not notice a lawyer practicing in front of him was in handcuffs. (Minnesota judges and lawyers; that sound you hear is the perceived honor and integrity of your profession circling the drain.) At that point, Minnesota AG Attorney Alethea Huyser climbed aboard Railroad Locomotive and headed out of town. This left Dakota County Attorney Daniel J. Fluegel to sweep the remaining legal debris from the tracks in preventing Judge David L. Knutson's alleged misconduct from being officially uncovered on the official Court Record.
As the Aristocracy & the Church (the world is flat, the earth is center of universe, etc.) were artificial & fraudulent establishers of Truth before THE ENLIGHTENMENT, so now are our Courts & major media.
Don Mashak on Twitter @DMashak
And then we had the testimony of two Bailiffs' involved in the arrest. A very interesting point of their testimony being that they made Judge David L. Knutson aware of the condition Lawyer Michelle MacDonald would be in if, and when, the Sandra Grazzini-Rucki vs. David Rucki matter was to be recalled. Specifically, the two Bailiffs indicated the Judge was informed that Lawyer Michelle MacDonald would be in handcuffs. (Minnesota Judges and Lawyers, that's more integrity and honor circling the drain noises you are hearing.)
Now, let's go back to two points raised earlier:
- Why can't you take pictures in a Minnesota Courtroom?
- Judicial immunity: Doesn't not being able to call a Judge as a witness compromise anyone's and everyone's right to Cross-Examine witnesses, confront their accuser and/or present a full defense upon all the relevant facts?
Ask different people and you will get different answers as to why you can't take pictures in a Minnesota Courtroom. The rules actually refer to all recording equipment. People with cell phones are regularly told to take them out to their cars. [And this action violates your 4th Amendment rights. Devices and procedures to look for guns and explosives permit are used to commit illegal searches and seizures of unrelated property] In reality, the allegedly you can record and take pictures with a Judge's permission (numerous other caveats may apply), but the reality is Judges say "NO". And on the rare occasion they say yes, having thus been forewarned they are on their best behavior.
When asked, some judges, lawyers and court administration officials will simply tell you the reason is "because a judge said so". (Judges don't see themselves as Public Servants; they see themselves as all powerful beings) Others will refer you to State or Federal Statutes. When you press for deeper answers, you get that recording devices disrupt the court room atmosphere and/or intimidate some witnesses, etc.
As with so many things involving our government and the courts, the official reasons are usually just subterfuge for the real reasons. In this case, based on his personal experiences and investigation, this writer asserts that the real reason is that the Courts don't want more than one credible source of what transpired in the Courtroom. The dirty secret is that the official transcript(s) provided by Court Stenographers can and do get altered, allegedly.
How and why does this occur? Court Stenographers get business by referrals. If pressure is brought to bear desiring to alter a transcript, the Stenographer implicitly understands they are subject to various carrots and sticks. Compliance means no retaliation and/or more referrals, etc.; don't comply and get black-listed. Once again, here is another group of government employees who trade the liberty of WE THE PEOPLE for their own personal gain.
This is one of a myriad of ways our Minnesota Judges present the appearance of justice while delivering injustice. Using a myriad of the same techniques and strategies North Korea's Kim Jong-un would use to force his subjects to accept the assertion of landing of a man on the sun; Our Minnesota Courts maintain an illusion that our Courts are just and work in accordance with the Rule of Law. [http://goo.gl/2E4ZLB ]
Now, this writer has proposed various solutions to this situation. For example, Stenographers selected randomly from a pool of qualified Stenographers. Or, more in alignment with current technology; why isn't each and every Court room equipped for audio and video recording. Then a Technical Staff could be assigned to act as repository and retriever of electronic records (which presumably would be much more difficult to alter without being detected). But, as this writer has pointed out, WE THE PEOPLE haven't been able to get a hearing dedicated to the topic of the Systemic Corruption of the Minnesota Courts since we began asking in 2005.

Proposed Election 2012 caucus resolutions for judicial reform (updated) Part 2of2 http://t.co/hVhjR4kLSo
Which again brings us to this writer's preference to determine truth for themselves: "Does a lawyer taking a picture of a courtroom, with court not in session, merit any sort of punishment?" Making it a bit more personal: "If Judges are allowed to have this much power, do you think any attorney you might have in the future (Who many see you once or twice in your life) will be more loyal to you or to the Judge (whom your attorney will likely see regularly during his career) you are appearing before?"
"Whenever violence is used, and injury done, though by hands appointed to administer justice, it is still violence and injury, however coloured with the name, pretences, or forms of law".
John Locke, Second Treatise of Civil Government, Chapter 3
Doesn't not being able to call a Judge (who is witness to relevant evidence) as a witness compromise anyone's and everyone's right to Cross-Examine witnesses, confront their accuser and/or present a full defense upon all the relevant facts?
As complex as this question may seem, it really is quite simple if we toss out the deliberately obtuse legal mumbo jumbo gibberish and exercise common sense.
Believe it or not, this writer can accept giving Judges Immunity from civil suits for their official acts within the parameters of the Rule of Law. But this presumes a whole myriad of other transparency and accountability which simply does not currently exist in the Minnesota Courts.
The Minnesota Legislature has unconstitutionally transferred its constitutional duty to oversee and discipline judges, to the Minnesota Judiciary. The Proverbial Fox is guarding the hen house.
The Board of Judicial Standards is supposed to fill the role of processing complaints about Judges. However, this writer has been personally (and in writing) told by employees of the Minnesota Board of Judicial Standards that the Minnesota Legislature and Supreme Court have severely restricted their authority and power. Essentially they can address issues of drunkenness, tardiness and late filings, etc, but they have no authority or power to address much else. If you lose your case, your only recourse is to appeal. And Minnesota Judges know that most of us do not have the time, money and/or mental disposition to file an appeal, let alone make an effective appeal (often because they kept you from getting the evidence you need on the record and you can't introduce new evidence on appeal).
And the Minnesota Attorney General and the Minnesota FBI will just refer you back to the Minnesota Board of Judicial Standards. (And the circular loop of injustice just keeps revolving)
None are more hopelessly enslaved than they who falsely believe they are free!
Johanne Wolfgang Von Goethe
So now you have Judges who have neither transparency nor accountability simply becoming more brazen.
- Does it make sense to you that Judge can commit a crime and simply invoke Judicial Immunity?
- Do you think Lawyer Michelle MacDonald should be able to cross examine Judge David L. Knutson and ask him to explain how he didn't see she was in handcuffs standing before him in open Court?
- How can Lawyer Michelle MacDonald fully defend herself if she cannot explore the possible conspiracy to Obstruct Justice by direct examination of Judge David L. Knutson?
- Does it occur to you, the reader, that Judge David L. Knutson may have orchestrated this entire arrest to protect and further the original breach of the Rule of Law in reversing Sandra Grazzini-Rucki's divorce decree that had been finalized more than a year prior?
- Do you think any Judge should be able to assert Judicial Immunity for criminal acts committed under the Color of Law?
- Do you think any Judge should be able to assert Judicial Immunity to Civil Suits asserting damages resulting from the criminal acts of judges?
- Do you think that Judicial Immunity from Civil suits does and/or should provide a defense to any Judge when subpoenaed to testify?
It is this writer's opinion that Judicial Immunity does not protect a Judge from having to give testimony in the direct examination format. Such a precedent is ripe for abuse… The very abuse we are seeing in the matter of Sandra Grazzini-Rucki vs. David Rucki Divorce and subsequent litigation
What the average reader may not realize is that often the time, money and stress of presenting a defense are the actual intended punishment for anyone who would dare challenge a Judge's seeming "Divine Right of Kings" authority. Who wouldn't rather pursue their happiness rather than spend time and money in court? Even if you win your case, you still have suffered the anguish and loss of time and money defending yourself. And that is the intent of your government and judiciary; make challenging their corruption so painful that the average citizen will at least think twice before challenging the tyrants authority again; So much for Free Speech and the Right to Petition your government for redress of grievances.
One has to wonder if these charges and the subsequent manhandling are retaliation for Lawyer Michelle MacDonald's Family Innocence Project (FamilyInnocence.org). Lawyer Michelle MacDonald's Family Innocence Project advocates getting matters of Child Custody out of the Court room arguing that Fit Parents have certain unalienable, God-given, Natural Law Rights to custody and parenting of their own children. This would lead to a lot fewer billable hours for Lawyers. Is the Judicial Establishment protecting lawyers by retaliating against Lawyer Michelle MacDonald? Given everything else we have seen in this matter, nothing is beyond being suspect.
A lot of folks out there have been talking about taking back this country and restoring the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Rule of Law and Natural Law. But talk is cheap.
With regard to the systemic corruption of the Minnesota Judiciary, WE THE PEOPLE of the State of Minnesota, have been denied our First Amendment Right to petition the Government for redress of grievances since 2005 by the Minnesota House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
Your elected Minnesota State Legislators and State Judges have ignored our concerns. Judges and Lawyers hide behind the excuse that the rules prevent them from commenting and/or interfering with another Judge's Ruling. And for far too long, WE THE PEOPLE have given them all a pass with that explanation. No more.
It is clear that we cannot rely upon Judges and the Legal Community to police themselves. Behind closed doors and without transparency, our Legislators and Judges are coordinating their designs to reduce our liberty and expand their tyranny. It is time to confront them about their behind the scenes communications. There are far too many of our fellow citizens having their lives destroyed through such injustices for WE THE PEOPLE to remain silent any longer.
It is time our politicians and judges are shamed into restoring the Rule of Law. It is time for all Minnesotans to begin contacting their Legislators and Judges. Not just letters, faxes and emails, but up close and personal. When you see your Judges and Politicians in public, ask them the tough questions. And demand answers in writing.
Don't let them tell you some bullroar that they can't do anything because of the rules. If the rules have been written such as to permit injustice and provide Judges and lawyers an excuse for not doing anything, the rules need to be rewritten.
"And thus the community perpetually retains a supreme power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of anybody, even of their legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the liberties and properties of the subject".
John Locke, Second Treatise of Civil Government, Chapter 13
Many of your fellow citizens are being abused while you seek to avoid getting involved and/or think making a phone call or sending a letter is pointless. (If you are afraid of blow back, send an anonymous letter by mail two towns from where you live.)
Next time you are in court, do you want your lawyer worrying about what the judge could to them or do you want to believe your lawyer has undivided loyalty to you and your case?
For the religious amongst you, do not the tenets of your religion call for you to intervene in the injustices committed against thy neighbor? Perhaps you should ask your religious leaders to give a sermon that addresses these systemic injustices?
In its present state, the representations by our government, Judiciary and major media that our Courts are just are no more credible than the reports that North Korea was boasting that it had landed a man on the Sun. It is only by propaganda, censorship and repression that our Government and Judiciary has been able to pass systemic corruption as justice. In this present state of corruption, each of us is no more than a few judicial rulings from retaliation and/or imprisonment for confronting the trespasses of our government.
To this writer's mind, if the legal community has created and/or allowed to be created a set of rules that allows injustice to pass as justice, the entire process is illegitimate and violates the Natural Law Rights of every person that comes before it. As such WE THE PEOPLE have the Right to Demand our Natural Law Right to Due Process pursuant to a legitimate be restored by our Legislators and Judges or have them anticipate our withdrawal of our "Consent to be Governed".
[Please take note, for those of you who are unaware, the report that the North Koreans allegedly had boasted landing a man on the Sun was later revealed as a hoax. However, it did cause you to ponder for yourself the various ways any government, including your own, might go about creating a false perception of reality in the minds of its masses. And that was the intent of this little exercise]
Finally, though it's been a few years since this writer has read the Judicial Cannon of ethics, it then said that Judges should always avoid situations that even give the appearance of impropriety. If the citing and handling of the citation of Lawyer Michelle MacDonald does not reek of impropriety and injustice, what does? In this writer's humble opinion the ticket against Lawyer Michelle MacDonald should be dropped to avoid the appearance of impropriety, if for no other reason.
Rule 1.2 Promoting Confidence in the Judiciary (http://goo.gl/PTV3qT)
A judge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety.
Or are those words just "props" to give the appearance of justice?
On the other hand, what does this writer know? Isn't this writer just another ignorant citizen from amongst the masses?
Those were my thoughts.
In Closing:
Thank you, my fellow citizens, for taking your valuable time to read and reflect upon what is written here.
If what is written here rings true to you, perhaps you should contact your local elected officials and let them know. If you are afraid of repercussions, snail mail it anonymously and ask them to respond in the local paper or their own monthly/quarterly internet newsletter. Even if this article refers to something outside you geographic area, it still likely applies to your location. Remember all those taxpayer training junkets we taxpayers send the bureaucrats on? They all learn the same "livestock management" techniques to use on WE THE PEOPLE.
And that leaves WE THE PEOPLE with this conundrum: While our #Government works full time with compensation and funded with our money for the cause of #Tyranny; WE THE PEOPLE are forced to work part time without compensation for the cause of #liberty with what is left over of our time, money and energy.
Finally, this article is written with the same intentions as Thomas Paine http://ushistory.org/paine. I seek no leadership role. I seek only to help the American People find their own way using their own "Common Sense" http://amzn.to/kbRuar

Mommy boobies
by Cheryl, posted on August 8th, 2011 in BlogHer, Parenting
I love talking to a two year-old on the phone.
It goes something like this:
"Hi Xander! Hi Bubbie!"
"Hi Mommy!"
"What are you doing?"
"Mommy boobies. Mommy nakey butt. Hee hee hee."
Uh…is your dad watching those movies again?
"Have you been a good boy?"
"Mommy boobies. Hee hee."
And so on.
Sunday, after almost five days away from them, the family came to pick me up from the hotel in San Diego.
Nichole and Yuliya were in the room, and of course Sawyer and Sage pushed in and hugged me first.
I looked down, and Xander was flapping his hands frantically, trying to figure out how to get to me.
I reached down and grabbed him.
Held him close.
He put his head on my shoulder and I inhaled his scent.
And for only the second time at BlogHer, tears came.
I missed him. He missed me.
The craziness of the past week, the drama, the fun, the connections, the racing around, the stress, the exhaustion, the hilarity – none of it mattered in that moment.
I was back with my family and everything else faded away.
Tags: blogher, I am home, I missed my boy, phone conversations with two year-olds are largely unintelligble thankfully

The Reasons Why I Love Pretty Little Liars

The Reasons Why I Love Pretty Little Liars
By edgarfletcher on Apr 02, 2013 07:23 AM
When I finished watching Pretty Little Liars Seasons 1-3, I have something from the deep of my heart wanted to share with you. Pretty Little Liars always reminds of my school life with my friends, there were also four girls of us, we often did something together. Of course, there were some contradictions between us, but we were not as selfish as the Pretty Little Liars. However, we were as united as Pretty Little Liars when something happened.
Pretty Little Liars told us a truth that never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret. In Pretty Little Liars, everyone has something to hide. Based off the book series of the same name, the Pretty Little Liars series follows four estranged best friends Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily who are reunited after their best friend and queen bee of the group, Alison, goes missing only to discover they are receiving messages from an anonymous "A" who knows all their secrets.
If you have pay close attention to Pretty Little Liars, you would feel confused about who the A really is, arent you? Everytime when A appeared, everyone of the Pretty Little Liars would feel so panic. Because the A knew all secrets of them, and queen bee of the group, Alison, may kidnap by him.
The another reason why I love Pretty Little Liars is that Pretty Little Liars series four main characters Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery, Hannah Marin, and Emily Fields have their own distinct look and unique fashion style. The dresses of their was so charming, once I have serching online to get the same dress, unfortunately I failed. And four of them have different temper, I like Aria most. Apart from the thrilling plot, another major element which makes Pretty Little Liars a huge hit for teenage girls is the trendy outfits the lead characters sport.
I really cant help to recommend you the wonderful series to you, and you can Buy DVD Online on our homepage, you can get the excellent wholesale DVDs with the lowest price and high quality. Some other information, please click prettylittleliars here.

Lamy 2000 Fountain Pen - Stainless Steel is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jian Jie from Stunner that writes flawlessly! My first L2K (from another vendor) gave me lots of skipping problems, so it was with some apprehension that I decided to get the pricier L2K in steel. Upon receiving the pen and inking it up, my initial fears quickly dissolved as the pen wrote a true EF line and the nib flowed beautifully across the paper. Love it! Flow—the flow of the pen was just right, allowing me to write on even cheaper 70gsm paper with no feathering, increasing the versatility of this pen. Nib performance—Smooth! Not overly smooth to the point of losing control while writing. Just about perfect for my tastes. Weight—Some find it too heavy. I enjoy the more substantial weight as I am quite used to using aluminium pens. Huge thanks to Drew for inspecting the nib of my pen and the team at Gouletpens for your amazing store and service. Will not hesitate to recommend this pen to any who are on the fence about it! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by inklord from Der UeberLAMY! The Lamy 2000M (stainless) with a medium nib turned out to be my Christmas present for this past year - and what a present it was! This pen is perhaps not a better writing instrument than a regular Macrolon Lamy 2000. However, it is one of the most fascinating pens I ever owned: a great writer, despite its 'massive' weight superbly balanced, and the very embodyment of minimalism made it a must for me (being a L2k afficionado with three iterations of the Macrolon version continually inked). Despite its weight, it feels not at all unwieldy, despite the smoothness of the finish it feels not slippery, and the overall impression is one of understated elegance and quality; to me, most other pens in this price class appear either gaudy or flimsy or both by comparison. Flow and smoothness were superb out of the box. I can see that I will probably miss the ink window, but for now I simply carry a small vial of 'refill' (Rohrer & Klingner "Sepia" or Diamine "Graphite" for this pen). When not in use, the L2KM is a wonderful finger toy with the ambiance of a finely crafted piece of art... Phenomenal!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Henry Grady from Great pen, nib requires a little attention Love this pen far more than the Makrolon (sp?) version. I like the heavier feel of the pen. It's also beautiful to look at. This is my sixth Lamy 2000 (I have traded a couple), and my experience with the nib is standard: a little scratchy, a little dry. I'm comfortable adjusting my nibs, so I wasn't concerned. Now it writes a comfortable, wet, Med Fine-type line. Another alternative is to swap the nib with another Lamy 2000 that you are happy with (if you have multiple). I think Brian did a video where he showed how to swap out the nibs. Anyway, highly recommended with the caveat that the nib may need some adjusting to suit your personal taste.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Susan Long from a heavier flashier L2K I am not sure why I bought this because I don't like really heavy pens, but I adore my Makrolon L2K, so I just couldn't resist. It writes like a heavier L2K, and it is gorgeous! Lack of ink window does not bother me at all. It is very noticeably heavier than the original, so keep that in mind. But I'm keeping mine and I like writing with it. Can't beat the nib.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RCT from L2K SS I've had this pen for about a month. It started out disappointingly scratchy although now I find the nib very smooth and satisfactory. I've heard some complain about the cap attachment mechanism but I find it completely unobtrusive. It has an impressive heft and build quality. Stylistically it's my favorite pen.
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Pen! I love my Lamy 2000s in Makrolon, and this Stainless Steel version is very similar. It is heavier, but I use most pens unposted, so I just find this one to be well-balanced. It has all the other attributes, piston filler, hooded nib, smooth writer--in many ways, the perfect fountain pen!
Date published: 2014-10-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Heavy but smoooooth writer This was my grail pen, so to me it's perfect. :-) It is quite heavy, but feels solid and well made. The nib is smooth with just the right amount of feedback on rougher papers and the piston filling is wonderful. However, if you are looking for a pen to write a novel with, probably go with the regular 2000. I use this pen daily to do homework and take notes in class, but I certainly won't use it to write the first draft of my dissertation..

Rated 5 out of 5 by William McVey from Just superb Before I ever saw the Lamy 2000 in stainless steel I knew I wanted something just like it (a high quality unadorned fountain pen machined from stainless steel). I was pretty excited to learn that such a thing actually existed, and even more excited to get one as a graduation present. The nib on my pen is exceptionally smooth. It glides across paper like a hot cat through butter. The nib has a very small amount of flex that gives my writing an interesting character not present when I write with other pens. Excellent though it may be, the stainless steel 2K may not be the best choice for everyone. The Makrolon version is considerably lighter, and is still made of an extremely durable material ( I think I heard somewhere that they make riot shields out of it actually). The pen is quite heavy, which suits me fine. I hold an iron tattoo machine eight hours a day, so there is no such thing as a heavy pen as far as I'm concerned, but if you write a lot, maybe consider the Makrolon.

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More The Strike Zone Harvey does it again, beats Strasburg, Nationals with another dominant start by Cliff Corcoran Twitter Email Posted: Sat Apr. 20, 2013 Matt Harvey (left) rolled through seven innings, allowing just one run, against Washington. (Elsa/Getty Images)Matt Harvey had already out-pitched Stephen Strasburg by the seventh inning of Friday night's Mets-Nationals game in Queens, but it was the seventh inning that was the turning point in the game and featured the definitive moment of his performance.The Mets staked Harvey to a two-run lead on a pair of unearned runs in the first inning and added two more on solo home runs by Ike Davis and Lucas Duda off Strasburg in the sixth. Harvey prevented the Nationals from answering the first two runs by holding Washington to a pair of walks and a pair of hits, one a Strasburg double, through six, but he quickly found himself in trouble in the top of the seventh.Adam LaRoche led off by battling back from a 1-2 count to draw a walk. Ian Desmond, whose error in the first led to the Mets' first run, followed with a single to left. Chad Tracy, starting at third base for the ailing Ryan Zimmerman, followed with another single that drove home LaRoche and moved Desmond into scoring position. After a visit to the mound by pitching coach Dan Warthen, Harvey got Steve Lombardozzi to hit a double-play ball to Daniel Murphy at second base, but Murphy's feed to Ruben Tejada pulled the Mets' shortstop off the bag and left the bases loaded with no outs.That's when Harvey proved just how good he can be. Alternating his slider and fastball, Harvey struck out Kurt Suzuki on five pitches. He then fired four 96-mile-per-hour fastballs at pinch-hitter Roger Bernadina and got him to foul out to catcher John Buck. In nine pitches, he had picked up the two outs lost to Murphy's error. That turned the lineup over to Denard Span, who had the other Washington hit prior to that inning. Span took a pair of fastballs to go even on the count, then chopped a slider, Harvey's 105th and final pitch of the night, to second base for the third out, stranding all three runners. The Mets, with the help of another pair of homers from Davis and Duda in the eighth off of Drew Storen, went on to win 7-1.For the fourth time in as many starts this season and the fifth time in his last five starts dating back to last season, Harvey went at least seven innings while allowing four or fewer hits and no more than one run. For this season, he improved his record to 4-0, but amazingly his ERA went up to 0.93, and with seven strikeouts and a season-high three walks and four hits, his peripherals all headed in the wrong direction to 9.9 K/9, 2.8 BB/9 and a 0.66 WHIP.How good has Harvey been through the first 14 starts of his career? Here's a quick comparison, inspired by a graphic shown on the Mets' telecast during the game, comparing Harvey's first 14 major-league starts to the first 14 major-league starts of Dwight Gooden, one of the best young pitchers in the game's history:HarveyGoodenGS1414W-L7-56-4IP88 1/391 2/3H5262R2226BB3536K102107K/910.410.5WHIP0.991.07ERA2.142.55Like I told you, Matt Harvey is the best young pitcher in baseball.

The Destination
Founded in 1541, the Chilean capital of Santiago is home to more than six million. Here, the Chilean National History Museum and the famed Presidential Palace are juxtaposed with a booming restaurant scene and trendy shopping centers. Santiago wows with neoclassical architecture, including the tallest building in Latin America, and the rapidly moving Mapocho River—all set against a backdrop of jagged Andean mountains.
To the south, however, the city melts away into a land untouched by time. The Chilean Lake District (aptly named for its smattering of immense and breathtaking lakes, each with its own unique composition and color) is a region of vast farmland and rolling hills that invite outdoor enthusiasts to cycle its bike-friendly byways on unforgettable treks. To the west and along the glistening Pacific coast, the Maipo Valley's vineyards showcase some of the most sought-after varietals in the world.
Get a taste of this majestic Chilean region on this 10-day trip to Santiago and the Chilean Lake District with six days of trekking, from OneSeed Expeditions.
The Itinerary
day 1: A OneSeed staff member will greet you at Santiago's international airport, transporting you to your hotel just a stone's throw from La Moneda, Chile's Presidential Palace. The remainder of the day is free to explore the country's capital city.
Overnight at Casa Bonita Bed & Breakfast.
day 2: The day begins with a guided bike tour of the city, taking you through one of Santiago's bustling markets. As the sun sets on the picturesque city, join your expedition group for a traditional family-style dinner at La Chiminea Restaurant. You'll have the chance to sip the national drink of Chile, Pisco, a brandy liquor with a tart taste.
Overnight at Casa Bonita Bed & Breakfast. Breakfast and dinner provided.
day 3: Celebrate the culmination of your expedition a visit to Chile's famous Maipo Valley to mountain bike through local wineries. You'll tour three local vineyards complete with lunch spread and wine tasting before being transferred back to Santiago for one last night.

day 4: In the morning, hop aboard a quick flight from Santiago to Puerto Montt to visit Chile's Lake District. Drive to Puerto Varas and its glacier-formed valleys peppered with enormous lakes.

day 5: Load up for an hour-long boat ride to the beginning of the trail in El Rincon. Beginning with a view of Lago Todos Los Santos and the rocky peaks that surround it, the group will head through open fields, leading to lush forests, eventually arriving at the Callao Hot Springs. Spend the night in a rustic lodge with access to these springs that keep a constant temperature near 104 degrees.
Overnight at a refugio in the Lake District. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided.
day 6: Get ready for the most challenging and rewarding part of your trip: Climbing Cerro Cenizo. Reach a spectacular viewpoint to see the verdant fields, lakes, and rock formations that make up this zone. Upon returning to the lodge, you can soak your tired limbs in the natural springs of Callao.

day 8: On the final leg of the trek, you'll pass several private farms and arrive at Lake Repunco in Las Gaviotas known for its apple orchards and roaming sheep. This is the perfect spot to take in the final moments of your scenic journey and enjoy a final night before returning to Santiago.

OAKDALE, TEXAS (Polk County). Oakdale is a rural community located on U. S. Highway 59 about four miles northeast of Livingston in central Polk County. The settlement began in 1854, when pioneer Samuel E. Bigham migrated from his home in Charleston, South Carolina. Accompanied by his family and slaves, he established a home in the oak forest, from which was derived the name Oakdale. Other early settlers included the Mills, Bright, and Legett families. The Legetts donated land for a cemetery in Oakdale in the late 1800s, and the earliest marked grave in Legett Cemetery is that of Jesse H. Legett who died in 1897. By the early twentieth century, the region's dense timber had attracted a noteworthy lumber industry. In 1909 the Texas Long Leaf Lumber Company operated a mill in Oakdale. A country school was open during the first part of the twentieth century, and highway maps during the 1930s labeled the region as Oakdale School. By the late 1900s Oakdale Baptist Church served the tiny community. In 2000 the population was twenty-five.

A bit busy
I left work last night to head down to Los Angeles to take care of my grandparents. My grandma is so sick, it's so hard to see. She doesn't even care about going to the Beauty Shop (and this is the lady who won't come to visit me before going). We are hopefully getting test results tomorrow and will know what's going on and how to treat it!

I will say a prayer for her. Hope all goes well.
I have to go next week to see if I have to have surgery again. They found a large cyst on my ovary.

The Big Picture
Visual content has become extremely important to marketers' social tactics. That's because of a growing consumer interest in images as evidenced by popular sites like Pinterest, Instagram and Snapchat.
People connect more emotionally with images than they do with text. In fact, customers are more likely to take action or make a decision when prompted with an image.
That means brands using visual social media content to drive a stronger message to their audience will naturally cut through the noise and rise to the top.
Here's a lot of important stuff you need to know about visual content for social media marketing.
#1: Making the Case for Visual Content in Social Media
The use of visual content in social media has exploded, partly because it's so easy to create and share images and video with a smartphone, and partly because images are more persuasive than text content. Here are some important reasons why you should include visual stories in your social marketing tactics.
Why Use Visual Content in Social Media Marketing?: Over at the Marketing Tech Blog, Douglas Karr breaks it down for us with an infographic (of course) to explain why any social marketing should be dominated by visuals.
