How not to ask for backlinks

Backlinks are one of the keys when it comes to how to promote your website. More backlinks equals more traffic to your website, and more traffic to your website equals better search engine results which equal even more traffic to your website….so you can never have enough backlinks.

How To Ask For Backlinks

In my last post I showed some of the ways that will get your link request shot down. For this post I’m going to show you how you can get those backlinks using some simple link building strategies to get backlinks and increase traffic to your website. Google Page Rank Before you start looking to get backlinks to your site what’s your page rank? A lot of sites owners don’t want links from sites that don’t have page rank. They want links from sites that will in time help boost their own traffic and a site with low or no page rank isn’t appealing compared to a site with a rank of 5 for example. Google also judges a site based on the number of high ranking pages that link back to that site, more high ranking pages equals more popular. To boost your page rank concentrate building links from link directories such as Digg, Reddit, and Stumbleupon. There are dozens of these sites and most have page ranks of 6 and up. Also add content to your site on a regular basis and remember to ping your site whenever you add new content to alert the search engines of changes to get indexed faster..............

How To Pick The Right Backpack For Your Bug Out Bag

So you’ve decided to make a bug out bag, you’ve picked all the items you know will be the most effective. But what about the bug out bag itself? Selecting the right pack is just as important as what you put inside it, after all this will probably be on your back for a good length of time. The last thing you want is a bag that either isn’t strong enough to hold the weight of your equipment, and doesn’t fit you properly causing pain and discomfort. Here are some things to look for when selecting the proper bug out bag for your emergency supplies. The first thing you want to do before you buy anything is know what your budget is. Check online and store flyers to see what brands they have for sale and compare prices. Other sources to investigate are websites such as Ebay, Craigslist, or Kijiji, to see if there’s some second hand bags that are in good shape. Also check with places like Amazon.com and U.S Calvary (U.S Calvary deals with military and police clothing and equipment) And of course look for local military surplus stores. Now you want to decide what type of bug out bag you want to use. All bags can be broken down into three categories.

How To Get Your Adsense Account Back

Perhaps you didn’t read Google’s terms of service, or you tried to get others to click on your ads. Either way your Google Adsense account has been disabled and you either got a nice little email telling you this or you can’t log onto Adsense at all. You’ve probably heard of many horror stories on blogs, forums, or on YouTube telling about how they were banned by Adsense, their earnings now held by Google, and their stuck with no income from their site. If this has happened to you there are some things you can do to try and reinstate your banned Adsense account. I can’t make any promises that you’ll get your account back, but these are some things you can try.

Twitter Roasts Pete Buttigieg For His Staged 'Walk Back To Iowa'

Poor Mayor Pete just can't seem to catch a break on the internet. The presidential candidate from South Bend, Indiana tweeted a photo of himself walking down a hallway on Saturday with the caption, "On my way back to Iowa. It's phase 4. Let's do this." The tweet has been catching a fair amount of flack for appearing to be staged.

Ace Attorney Zoom Backgrounds

As even lawyers now work from home, and trials are now held via Zoom, I guess it would only be appropriate if they had a background that’s related to their job. And what background would that be other than the courtroom? But even if you’re not a lawyer, you can still use these Zoom backgrounds released last week by Capcom’s Ace Attorney, via Twitter. You can use the 2D background from the original trilogy, or opt for the 3D one from the more recent games.

Take that! And no objections, please.

SWN rebuffed in New Brunswick back woods

Local families chase off ATV, security truck hit and run, UN observers arrive

BROWNS YARD, NEW BRUNSWICK – By Sunday, June 23rd, SWN Resource Canada’s highly contested and protested seismic testing along highway 126, in Kent County, New Brunswick, had almost wrapped up.

But the seismic test along the highway is only one of several planned testing lines, and the company’s attempts to begin another line of seismic testing - this time along the back roads of Kent County - was yesterday halted in its tracks by community members living in the vicinity of Browns Yard.

SWN’s seismic testing of the back roads areas of Kent County – conducted with All-Terrain Vehicles known as ‘Bombadiers’, and dynamite charges – is slated to be extensive, with approximately 150kms of testing expected to take place.

Yesterday’s resistance, conducted firstly by local families and the action group known as ‘Upriver Environment Watch’, suggest that SWN’s task in the woods of New Brunswick, where there is local knowledge, deep forests and intense opposition to the testing, will be a tough slog indeed.

At about 2pm, an SWN-contracted truck with a trailer parked itself along highway 490. The truck was abandoned by the SWN-contracted workers, but it was an announcement of their presence to the vigilant community.

A small group of local familities - about 15 people in all, including young children - then gathered. A Bombadier, two geophones, a surveyor's tripod and a SWN antenna, were spotted. Whoever had positioned the equipment had done so on a private piece of land adjacent to the dirt highway.

The driver of the Bombadier approached the surveying equipment, potentially to recover it from the gathering crowd, only to be chased away from the equipment by the crowd. The driver sped south along a dirt road and did not return to the scene.

An SWN-contracted security truck appeared on the scene about ten minutes later. The driver of the truck did not speak to the gathered crowd, but as he was driving away he struck local resident Dave Morang hard enough with his driver’s side mirror to bend the mirror backwards. The driver did not stop.

Morang, injured, requested that an ambulance needed to be called. An Emergency Response team later took Morang to hospital on a spinal board and a stretcher. His condition is currently unknown.

“I can’t believe they didn’t stop,” Morang told the Halifax Media Co-op before the ambulance arrived. “They hit me hard enough with his mirror that it bent it. He would have known that. How many laws can they break?”

About 20 minutes later, RCMP appeared in force, with 26 officers and 14 cars and paddy wagons stationing themselves along the dirt road. The call through social media, however, had beaten them to the punch, and by the time they arrived the gathered crowd had swelled to about 100 non-Indigenous and Indigenous people.

RCMP consulted for about twenty more minutes, before apparently deciding that the best course of action would be to pick up SWN’s antenna and geophones. Photographs indicate that SWN's equipment appears to have been somehow bent and otherwise broken.

With nothing left to do, and with a gathered crowd which now included Chief Aaren Sock of Elsipogtog First Nation, the police packed up and retreated down the dirt road from which they had appeared.

Chief Sock, whose band council late Saturday night issued a Band Council Resolution inviting United Nations Observers to Elsipogtog, was not impressed with SWN’s unwanted incursions into Kent County, or the arrests of his people while in ceremony.

“Message for SWN: You’re not welcome in my territory,” Sock told the Halifax Media Co-op. “Nothing personal.”

After the RCMP departed with SWN’s equipment, those gathered continued to cheer and drum. They then began to slowly trickle back to their respective communities.

It was later discovered that SWN’s abandoned truck - the original sign of their presence - had had its windows smashed, doors dented and bumpers knocked off. As of press time, it is not known how this damage might have happened.

A packed community hall meeting in Elsipogtog, open to the general public, took place later in the evening. The topic of the meeting was not only how to stop SWN, but how to get shale gas out of New Brunswick, and all of the Maritimes. With UN observers now in place, representatives from various Warrior societies from across the Maritimes have been welcomed to Elsipogtog. They were greeted at the meeting with a standing ovation.

BACK BEAT

遅くなりました。


舞台BACK BEATが終わってしばらく経ちました。
改めて、観に来てくれた皆さん、応援してくれた皆さん、ありがとうございました。

振り返れば、自分にとって最大、最難関の役との出会いでした。

ジョン・レノン。

取材でも何度も言いましたが、話をいただいたときは、本当に偉大な人物だし、自分が演じるなんて正直無理だと思っていました。


しかし、稽古に入る前にピート・ベスト役の上口耕平、演出の石丸さち子さんと共にリバプール、ロンドンを訪れ、彼ら(The Beatles)の足跡を辿っていくうちに、自分の中で、もっと彼らを知りたい、自分にしかできないジョンを演じるんだ、という気持ちがどんどん強くなっていった。
スチュの墓参りに行けたことは本当に大きな意味を持つことだったんだ、と今強く思う。大千秋楽の日が彼の誕生日だったということにも運命を感じずにはいられなかった。

大げさな言い方かもしれないが、本当に、運命に導かれてこの作品に出会い、唯一無二のキャスト、スタッフと巡り会えたのだと思う。


工藤広夢
ローザという強烈なキャラやその他MC役など何役も演じた。彼の身体能力の高さには驚いたし、何より芝居に対する熱意。彼は稽古でスチュの代役を何度か務めてくれたのだが、彼の芝居から受け取るエネルギーが無ければ俺のジョンには何かが足りなかったかもしれない。そう思わせるほどだった。

田村良太
毎日俺と濃厚なラブシーンを繰り広げてくれました。MCのペーター役など、彼も何役も演じた。彼の真っ直ぐさ、真面目さは才能だ。俺が稽古に出られなかった時に代役を務めてくれていた。彼との出会いに感謝。

鍛治直人さん
ベルト・ケンプフェルト、ジョージ・マーチン他。鍛治さんの存在感、キャラクターはこの芝居において絶対的な安心感だった。我らビートルズメンバー全員が慕い、全力でぶつかれる先輩。稽古中に皆にアドバイスをくれた。その背中をこれからも追いかけたい。

西川大貴
クラウス・フォアマン、リンゴ・スター。
俺は彼を先生と呼ぶ。彼は才能の塊だ。溢れ出る才能に嫉妬するほど。彼のクラウスは我らのビートルズに常に寄り添ってくれた。本当に凄い役者。かと思えば、弟のような可愛さを見せる。好きにならずにはいられない。

鈴木壮麻さん
ブライアン・エプスタイン、トニー・シェリダン他。尊敬し、愛する大先輩。壮馬さんの存在は心のオアシス。いつも大きな愛で受け止めてくれる。お世話になりっぱなしです。またフランケンでお世話になります。少しでも芝居で感謝を返していきたい。

尾藤イサオさん
ブルーノ・コシュミダー、エルヴィス、医師。
コピプリ以来の共演。俺たちは尾藤さんをレジェンドと呼ぶ。稽古場で初めて尾藤さんのハウンドドッグを聴いた時、皆が震えた。この作品に、唯一ビートルズとの繋がりを持ち、彼らと同世代の尾藤さんが出演したということ…これこそ運命なのではないだろうか。

夏子
アストリッド・キルヒヘル。
初舞台であれほどの役を演じた彼女に拍手を送りたい。上手くいかないこともあっただろう。共に悩み、稽古を重ねる中で、彼女の中のアストリッドがどんどん大きくなっていく瞬間を見た。きっと彼女にとってもこの作品は忘れられないものになったと思う。


上口耕平
ピート・ベスト
ソウルメイト。俺は滅多に弱音は吐かない。でも、今回は彼に本当に助けられた。支え、支えられて共に駆け上がった。途方も無い坂道を。彼のピートの眼差しが好きだった。あの真っ直ぐ鋭い眼光はピートだった。ありがとう。

JUON
ポール・マッカートニー。
幼少期からThe Beatlesが共にあった彼。もうポールにしか見えないよ。こんな一言で言い表したくは無いが、彼は紛れもなく天才だ。初舞台だというのに子どものように目をキラキラ輝かせ、何事もあっという間に吸収し、成長していった。ミュージシャンJUONではなく、役者JUONの凄さを目の当たりにした。演奏ではバンマスとして音を支えてくれた。出会えてよかった。ありがとう。

辰巳雄大
ジョージ・ハリスン。
たつはジョージそのもの。稽古場ですでにジョージだった。彼の芝居熱は誰よりも熱く、だけど静かで、常に我らに刺激をくれた。ギターがほぼ弾けなかったと聞いた時は驚いたが、それ以上にリードを堂々と弾けるようになったことに驚いた。本当に努力の人なんだな。芝居をしててこんなにも安心感と楽しさがある奴にはなかなか出会えるものではない。出会えてよかった。ありがとう。


戸塚祥太。
スチュアート・サトクリフ。
ビジュアル撮影時、スタジオにはすでにスチュがいた。俺に気づいた彼は、「ジョンに会えた」と言った。あの瞬間こそ運命的な出会いだった。間違いない。お互いがお互いをすでに役として認識していた。いつも笑顔で優しいとっつー。しかし、スチュが降りてきた彼はいつもとは違うオーラを纏い、そこにいた。彼との毎日は本当に楽しく、愛に溢れていた。俺はとっつーを愛しているのか、スチュを愛しているのかわからなくなった。でも、どちらも本物なのだ。彼がスチュでなければ、俺のジョンは存在しなかった。スチュと出会わせてくれてありがとう。そして、出会ってくれてありがとう。
ビーバッパルーラ。それがすべて。


そして、我らを導いてくれた石丸さち子さん。
さち子さんとはマタ・ハリに続き2度目だが、尊敬、信頼、愛がさらに深まった。こんなにも熱くて、こんなにも厳しくて、こんなにも愛に溢れた演出家はそういない。稽古場でなかなかジョンを見つけられず、悩んでいた俺を一歩一歩、手を引いて導いてくれた。共に悩んでくれた。共に見つけてくれた。共に泣き、喜んでくれた。
本当に、本当に感謝しかありません。


今の自分の持てるすべてをかけて演じたジョン・レノン。
演じ終わった今でも、あなたを追いかけているような感覚です。おそらく、これからもそうなのでしょう。あなたを演じたことは俺の財産になりました。また出会える、その日まで。
今はただ、感謝を。


また会おうぜ。




最後に

この作品に出会わせてくれたプロデューサーの江口さん、我らビートルズの音を共に作り上げてくれた森さんをはじめとする音楽チームの皆様、制作スタッフの皆様、舞台スタッフの皆様、舞台BACK BEATに関わったすべての皆様に最大最高の感謝を。
