Trick and Treat: Penny Lane's Hail Satan?
By Elias Savada.
Never has a Penny Lane film been this funny. An academic-now-turned-full-professional-documentary-filmmaker, she has provided a window into the weird and wonderful for the last half-dozen or so years with her handful of features and several compelling shorts. She loves to take unusual relics of our planet and expose them in any variety of ways. Her debut feature, 2013's found footage wonder Our Nixon (First Disclaimer: I was an associate producer) was fully compiled from archival 8mm home movies shot by three members of Tricky Dick's White House staff. Three years later begat Nuts! (Second and Final Disclaimer: I was an executive producer), an animated, mostly-true documentary about the charlatan John Romulus Brinkley, a Kansas "doctor" who convinced folks a century ago that the best way to deal with erectile dysfunction was through a transplant involving goat testicles. Audacious and unbelievable. Last year's The Pain of Others was comprised mostly of videos from three YouTube patrons who suffer from a creepy, is-that-even-a-real-disease called Morgellons and the strange solutions that seem to provide some relief.
So why not a film about Satanists?!
Working with her producer Gabriel Sedgwick, the pair toiled for two years on the feature. After gaining the trust of the principals behind The Satanic Temple (TST), a colorful and somewhat provocative religious movement, they collected some interviews, fly-on-the-wall material, and lots of news footage (local and national) about some of the group's undertakings. The talking heads are lively and informative, with complementing and contrasting visuals in abundance, often to effective comic relief. Kudos to editors Amy Foote (Mavis) and Aaron Wickenden (Won't You Be My Neighbor) for their wicked cuts. Add in whimsical original music by Brian McOmber, and you have a winner.
It's important that you realize this international group of believers are not the Church of Satan established by the late occultist Anton LaVey, although there is a certain amount of shared showmanship between the two organizations. TST is a socially and politically active organization that fashions events that are "designed to preserve and advance secularism and individual liberties."
And that's where the film begins, with the temple's inaugural rally (if you consider a half-dozen devotees a rally) of support for Florida Governor Rick Scott (then pushing for prayer in public school). Someone in the crowd yells to the leader, "Go to Hell," which brings up the first of many comic retorts. The group's spokesperson quickly responds, "I believe in it, and I'm very excited about it." The press, eager to reveal the "truth," think the whole thing is a hoax. Some of the original founders (in shadow to hide their features, although their noms-de-guerre are displayed as captions) do confirm it all was a stunt – the first of many that highlight the film. But, then it got real and co-founder "Lucien Greaves" reluctantly comes center stage for the group, suddenly and seriously.
Television journalists can't seem to take this faction's efforts seriously. Case in point: up against lightweight Megyn Kelly, wearing a confused smile, on Fox News, Greaves holds his own by commenting how TST provides "a need for a counterbalance against the dominant religious privilege in America today."
The group's growth is chronicled as new chapters come aboard and the national headquarters are set (naturally) in Salem. Roundtable discussions and stand alone moments offer up refreshing reasons for very divergent (and very reasonable) folks getting involved in the movement. The emphasis of the film is to shine light on the Satanists' efforts to find religious pluralism in a Christian nation. The sad part is that the conservative religious right sees it as their duty to not separate church and state. TST is fighting back at that notion.
While the skits the group write seem like high school hijinks, they are anything but. They draw attention to the hypocrisy that surrounds the supposed separation of church and state. And that state is Oklahoma (and later, Arkansas), where the Satanists want to place a bronze statue of Baphomet on the state capitol grounds, next to a Ten Commandments monument. If it's good enough for the Catholic Church, it should be good enough for any church. And, thankfully for the makers of this film, that allows for a lot of interesting news stories and often pointed on-air debates about allowing religion into the government sphere. When the Sooner State's Supreme Court rules to remove the Ten Commandment marker (surprisingly modeled after a version shipped by Paramount Pictures in the 1950s to promote it's eponymous bible movie), it's a victory for logic. And TST.
It's not all fun and games. There are death threats. There are shots of very stupid people stating that the satanic assembly is a hate group. I suspect these are the misguided folks that helped elect our current president. They are certainly the same hate-filled masses that appear in the school meeting scene in Field of Dreams suggesting the banning of a classic novel by a pacifist. There's also commentary about the silly, Catholic supported "Satanic panic" over the game Dungeons & Dragons and how heavy metal music caused devil worship. No concern over the 300-plus Catholic priests who have abused over a thousand children since 1947.
Hail Satan? is a terrific history lesson that dissects how the fantasies of the religious right have been created and ingrained in our society. The film exposes the little minds that thwart this country's right to the separation of church and state. Take away the horns, colored contact lenses, tinted haired, and wardrobe, and TST is a group that promotes a progressive view. Their chapters collect socks for the homeless, clean up stretches of highway (with pitch forks), do blood drives (with needles), and provide other socially correct services for the community.
Hail Satan? offers up various Christian boogeymen who have been pushing their own theocracy on our government. This radical film is a credible and thoughtful public service announcement that provides a glimpse into how TST is fighting back. It's a great step forward to understanding something that has been misunderstood for far too long.

Raspberry Ketone is very much in demand with no small thanks to American TV's 'health evangelist' Dr Oz and his glowing tribute to the natural supplement.
Many pharmacies, drug stores, chemists and health food shops in Canada are now racing to get adequate stock and are anticipating a deluge of interest.
Raspberry Ketone supplements have been available for several months and do tend to suffer a fate experienced by the health sector industry wide in so much as not all branded products are created equal – there are the good, the bad and downright ugly.
With haste seemingly overtaking taking the quality aspect there is a danger of many low quality and largely ineffective products proliferating the shelves in stores.
When purchasing be sure to look for quality and some form of accreditation.
Manufacturers are proud of certification and accreditation, it costs money and they do tend to display it.
One of the best branded Raspberry Ketone product we have reviewed is Raspberry Ketone Plus – its British by origin and has accreditation that would bore a librarian.
Under 18 should consult their doctor before using this or any dietary supplement.


During halftime of Super Bowl XLVI last weekend, Chrysler aired a two-minute ad called "Halftime in America." Iconic tough guy Clint Eastwood provided the voiceover, ruminating on the tough battle our country has endured with great optimism about its future and pride in its people's collective ability to overcome hardships. It was a powerful spot, whatever political affiliation you may have.
One of our own has taken a similar sentiment and turned it into a hit for this particularly troubled age. Dierks Bentley's "Home," this week's CountryBreakout No. 1 song, strikes a resonant chord by managing the tightrope walk of being patriotic without excluding or alienating anyone. Bentley penned the song with Dan Wilson and Brett Beavers, which in addition to its chart success, was recently nominated for ACM Song of the Year.
This chart milestone arrives as Bentley is promoting the release of his sixth studio album, Home. He's been up in New York the last week, visiting Letterman and Today, and over the weekend he'll journey to Los Angeles to be a presenter on the 54th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday, Feb. 12. and perform on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Feb. 15. His Country & Cold Cans tour will head north to British Columbia on Feb. 15, followed by an Australian leg.

Embrace values of civility, community, Ray LaHood tells ICC graduates
Chris Kaergard of the Journal Star @chriskaergard
PEORIA — Embrace civility and community, and find inspiration in the success of yourselves and your neighbors.
That was the message Ray LaHood brought to the graduating class of Illinois Central College on Saturday morning during commencement ceremonies at the Peoria Civic Center.
"Men and women, singly or as part of larger families, living their lives in decency and love, working hard, being honest, quietly attending to their duties, are the very cornerstone of community life," the former congressman and Cabinet official — himself a former community college student — told the assembled crowd. "So many of you have lived out those qualities, day in and day out."
The graduates ranged in age from 17 to 64, college President Sheila Quirk-Bailey told attendees at the ceremony.
LaHood, as he often has in the past, urged a return to a more pleasant tone in public discourse.
"The most consequential leaders conduct themselves with civility — in victory and defeat," he said. "Successful public service in a democracy does not require the destruction of one's adversaries."
And LaHood highlighted the successes of a handful of graduates, telling the students that each of them demonstrated similar, laudable values.
Among those he honored was Haley Wisner, returning to ICC at age 33 to complete her degree while working two jobs and raising a family.
And he highlighted Ruben Moro, whose mother immigrated from Mexico when he was five to escape family instability. Moro himself later became a permanent resident, earning his associate's degree in engineering science and making plans to attend Southern Illinois University - Carbondale in the fall.
"Ruben says what kept him going is his mother," LaHood said. "Because she worked so hard over the years providing for him and his siblings, he wants to show her something for her sacrifice."
Some 1,527 students received degrees or certificates, many taking the stage to cheers and applause from family members and friends.
The college is marking its 50th anniversary this year; LaHood also spoke at graduation exercises during its 30th anniversary year.

But only if the churches are willing to go on their own. The government has every right to decide who it awards contracts to, and to place requirements on getting those contracts. Just because it is a church doesn't mean they can say "We don't want to abide by your terms but you have to award us the contract anyhow."
There's also the issue of tax exempt status. If you wish to run an organization that is exempt from taxes, well the government can also place requirements on that. Other non-profit groups have requirements on what they can and can't do an how they must be run. If they don't like those requirements, they can pay taxes like everyone else.
So if a church wants to pay taxes and not have government contracts, sure do as you please so long as it doesn't violate the law. However if you want a break from the government, well then the government has a right to put conditions on that.


Give it a few months, and you'll find that you've spent a significant amount of money on CO2 canisters and other forms of gas. The gas is commonly HFC134a aka. Aside from the substantial power benefits related to the inclusion of a gas propellant system, air powered guns also benefit the user by removing the need to manually reset the firing mechanism and, consequently, the speed of which the gun can be fired increases.
As you're choosing between spring, gas and electric powered guns consider everything you've read in this guide. They tend to fire harder, faster, and more accurately due to their semi-automatic firing style. In the beginning, you likely won't notice the expense as too much of a burden in the beginning.
Furthermore, rechargeable batteries allow you to save money. Shooting off-screen reloads your pistol, and during game-play you might notice that the slide has sort of a "blowback" movement to it.
Still, you can't discount the fact that spring-powered guns can shoot endlessly. This because the spherical plastic pellets are used in the place of metal bullets which is smaller than traditional metal bullets.
This isn't much of an issue for sniper rifles who sit ata distance, hidden away. The slide trips the lock later during the cycle to allow the valve to close. With that being said, the technology behind electric, gas and spring airsoft guns are quite different, and they can drastically change the way you play the game. For Maruzen, he designed another system that has no moving parts inside the loading nozzle, but the switch valve is located in the top of the magazine.
How Do Gas Powered Airsoft Guns Work?
The PDI Winter type piston head extends further into the loading nozzle, which means that the effective stroke length is increased. As the slide returns forward pushed by the recoil spring, the loading nozzle picks up a new BB from the magazine and chambers it.
Unlike spring powered airsoft guns that operate on mechanical power, gas powered airsoft guns harness the power of gas to propel the BB down the barrel.
The main valve lets the gas into the loading nozzle. The majority of the magazine is dedicated to the gas storage, and only small volume required house the BBs. Home Sitemap. Electric airsoft guns typically come with a battery charger and a rechargeable battery. Spring, gas and electric guns all come with pros and cons, and each gun type can be used effectively by the right player.
The gas flow causes the switch valve to move forward and block the gas flow into the barrel. Upon firing the trigger, the hammer knocks the main valve open via a firing pin.
The pistol will "nod" a little bit. However, the cost of gas will begin to pile up.

New Russian Public TV Station OTR Looking for More Funding
Less than two weeks after its launch, the station's boss says the $22 million budget for the pet project of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is too small.

Russia Media Watchdog Accuses Google of "Interference" in Anti-Government Protests
Less than a two weeks after its discreet launch, Russia's new public television channel OTR is already struggling financially.
A pet project of former president, now prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, the channel secured just 700 million roubles ($22 million) from the Kremlin for its first-year operating costs.
That's not enough to run the station, which went on air May 19, the ministry of finance says. Instead, the ministry has recommended that the channel invest a larger pool of money in stocks and shares to provide it with endowment income to cover costs.
STORY: Private Film Fund Launches in Russia to Finance Co-Productions
The proposal, in a letter to the communications ministry from deputy finance minister Andrei Ivanov, obtained by daily newspaper Izvestia, suggests the channel could be in for a tough ride.
Anatoly Lysenko, OTR head, has already appealed for an additional $22 million in funding this year to cover running costs, although Alexei Volin, deputy minister of communications has already said there will be no more money.
"The state has given you the basic tools," Volin told OTR. "You now need to give the public the opportunity to take part. We believe that regions, big companies and agencies can help OTR through social advertising and sponsorship projects."
The new channel, which carries no advertising, is designed to offer an open national forum for Russians that does not exist on other channels. The country's leading national channel, Channel One, is partially privatized (51 percent remains in public ownership), runs a range of commercial, news and entertainment programming and relies upon advertising revenues for its income.
Medvedev's vision for OTR is summed up in its mission statement, which includes references to "building a culture of participation in public life, the promotion of measures of individual behavior focused on self-development."
STORY: CBS Inks Output Deal in Russia and Added Offer in Finland
The lofty ideas are reflected in a programming schedule that includes on-the-hour news – with a heavy emphasis on reporting local news from around Russia, programming blocks aimed at young people, documentary films and quality films.
Raising money for an endowment big enough to fund the channel is an almost impossible task, observers say.
Moscow-based financial analyst Anton Sorok told Izvestia that to generate a big enough annual income from an endowment the channel would need a capital fund of $80 billion.
Raising that sort of money from public sources or sponsorship is unrealistic, he said.
The channel has the right to charge for public service announcements but so far has raised a paltry $12,000 from that source, Izvestia reported.

There are a few steps to becoming the next big rap star. Lets begin with your team. You should have at least 5 people that agree your the next big thing. Then you need the right music and if you don't make radio records you have to take your career on the road. So here is the way a big rap star maps out his career.
1. Test your music in your market. See if people actually like your song or music. Don't test your music by investing in music that just doesnt work. Find DJ's that will play it or make a focus group of people that will give you a honest opinion.
2. Once you have the music or video get people to post about it on social media. Most of the new artists getting signed have large social media followings. You can also create funny viral videos or just great content people will want to share.
3- Get out and start your own events. You can't make it in this industry if people don't want to see you live. Get out and perform, if your too lazy to start your own events then perform at showcases.
4- Make a great website and update it daily. This is important because the internet is one of the best ways to communicate with your fans.
5- Collaborate with the hottest up and coming rappers in your area. Its easy publicity and even if they charge $500 if they are on the hottest blogs and magazines its worth it.
If you follow these steps you will definitely be the next hottest artist in your city.

Have you ever made your own clothes before? I have been known to mess around with a few ideas for "easy" clothing patterns, only to end up with some hideously misshapen garment that will never see the light of day. Why is it so intimidating to make your own clothing?
In the video below, we learn to face our fears and dive right into making templates for clothes from other clothes we already own and know fit us well. What a brilliant idea! I can't believe I've never thought of this before.
Wendy shows us exactly how to create the perfect template for clothes that fit right every time. Using a t-shirt she already knows fits her well, she traces about a half inch around the front of the shirt, before flipping it over and tracing a half inch around the back of the shirt.
Wendy goes on to explain the differences between the front and the back of the shirt. The front typically has a lower neckline than the back, and the front-facing armholes are a little deeper than the back to accommodate the extra motion. She goes on to show us how this basic template can easily be adjusted for lower necklines, wider necklines, longer or shorter waistlines, etc. We'll make basic templates and then customize. Go ahead and see how it's done!

New! Check out the new reinforced 7mm Ecotile for vehicles!
Bright and light coloured floor tiles have always been a problem where tyres are concerned. But not anymore!
Our industrial floor tiles have always been highly popular with people looking for a tough reliable solution for their garages. But one of the drawbacks has always been a chemical reaction that takes place when you leave rubber car or motorbike tyres on a light coloured tile. The process can often lead to discoloration and some pretty unattractive greeny-brown staining.
Up until now the solution has always been to use darker coloured tiles to hide any staining that might take place. Lots of you have wanted to use lighter colours in your garage areas and we have always had to advise you against it. It did not make us happy.
Now thanks to the 'tireless' efforts of our Research & Development Team Ecotile can now offer these fabulous new tiles that are completely unique to the market.
The completely new and unique 7mm thick smooth textured tile comes with a 3mm thick metal plate that sits flush, right in the centre of the tile.
This not only gives a very cool industrial effect but provides an incredibly practical solution to an old problem.
Just place four of these special tiles on your Ecotile floor and you will have a designated parking space that allows your car tyres to sit on metal plates. This prevents any staining and allows you to choose any colour floor tiles you wish.
They've proven to be ever so popular with our motorbike owning customers too. Introducing a reinforced tile to your garage provides an excellent surface to support your motorbike stand.
We showed them to one of our clients who runs a BMW motorbike dealership and , as you can see from this photo, they installed them in their showroom straight away.


The official bar of the San Diego Gulls hockey team, it's not hard to spot this bar and restaurant near their sports arena home in the Midway District — just look for the large yellow neon arrow pointing at its patio. What's easier to miss is that the stylish little spot is a sister restaurant of Little Italy's legendary Waterfront Bar & Grill, home of the city's oldest liquor license and one of San Diego's most storied burgers.
Banzai Bar takes its burger cue from the Waterfront, which is primarily to keep it simple, and let the beef do the heavy lifting. Served with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickle on a on sesame seed bun, Banzai's burger patties are lightly seasoned with garlic salt, with beef ground with a rich 27-percent fat ratio for extra sizzle on that flat top grill. They're made with superior texture in mind, and always formed by hand, because Nancy Nichols, the family matriarch behind the Waterfront's success, always said that was the secret to making an especially juicy burger.
In the People's Choice contest of the 2017 Burgers & Beer event, Banzai scored runner up honors serving the same beef on a Hawaiian bun slider with American cheese. You may find those in the restaurant, or go with the half-pound Banzai Burger, offered with your choice of available cheeses, because Banzai wants every customer to leave happy.

Petition to Supreme Court Denied for DeCosters (Strict Criminal Liability)
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case of two executives from Quality Egg who were sentenced to prison under the Park Doctrine, also known as the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine, after a 2010 salmonellosis outbreak which may have sickened as many as 56,000 consumers. Austin "Jack" DeCoster, the principal operator, and his son, Peter DeCoster, the chief operating officer, were sentenced to three months in prison and were fined $100,000 each after pleading guilty to misdemeanor criminal liability charges (one count of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce — shell eggs contaminated with Salmonella enteriditis). The sentences were affirmed by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. The DeCosters sought Supreme Court review of the constitutionality of the prison sentences in January, alleging that the strict criminal liability standard (no proof of criminal intent) resulted in a denial of due process. (For more detailed background information on the case, click here.)
At trial, Quality Egg pleaded guilty to a count of bribery of a public official, a count of introducing a misbranded food into interstate commerce with intent to defraud, and a count of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce, and was fined $6.79 million. The DeCosters' guilty plea included a stipulation that nothing in the record indicated they had actual knowledge the eggs were infected with Salmonella. At the sentencing phase of the trial, however, the district court was entitled to consider information regarding the background, character, and conduct of the defendants, and concluded that the DeCosters had created a work environment "where employees not only felt comfortable disregarding regulations…but may have felt pressure to do so."
It is not clear to what extent the DeCoster outcome will be relevant to future Park Doctrine cases, given that information before the trial court concerning past conduct, including FDA inspection findings of widespread insanitary conditions, appeared to be an important factor in the decision to impose prison sentences. Thus, evidence of a strong company culture of regulatory compliance, with responsible corporate oversight, could distinguish the DeCoster case from future situations.

NT Beverages enters voluntary administration despite $10 million boost from taxpayers
A controversial water bottling company that received $10 million of taxpayers' money has entered voluntary administration, only hours after receiving its long-awaited water extraction licence.
NT Beverages, which produces Akuna Blue and Akuna Springs bottled water, entered into administration on Friday after months of ongoing controversy.
In February of this year the company received $10 million from the publicly funded Infrastructure Development Fund, which has since been abolished.
The company first came under scrutiny when it was granted the money before it had been awarded a water extraction licence by the NT's water controller.
Ironically, NT Beverages was finally granted the licence last Thursday, only hours before it entered into voluntary administration.
Asked why the licence was granted given the company's troubles, the water controller mainly cited environmental compliance rather than the company's perilous financial state.
A source close to the company told the ABC it "was riddled with problems," and the ABC has revealed multiple instances of company mismanagement.
The Acacia Hills-based company, which claimed it had the capacity to produce 96,00 litres of beverages a day, had misrepresented the source and quality of the water on its website. Independent analysis found it was no healthier than tap water.
Before the company received its multi-million dollar grant, the company had set up what it had called a charitable foundation, but ASIC later confirmed the foundation had never made a charitable donation.
In November, it was revealed that the company may have used some public funds to pay its employees superannuation it failed to pay them since the company was established in 2015.
Some employees claimed to have been owed more than $15,000.
Treasurer Nicole Manison, who signed off on the formation of Infrastructure Development Fund, would not comment on NT Beverages' situation today.
While you're here … are you feeling curious?


Tottenham Hotspur have said "it is unlikely" that midfielder Mousa Dembele will play again in 2018 after suffering ankle ligament damage.
The 31-year-old injured his right ankle during Saturday's 3-2 win at Wolves.
Tottenham visit Crystal Palace on Saturday without injured defender Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) and left-back Danny Rose (groin).

Migrating Songbirds Are Bringing New Ticks to Texas
Songbirds from Central and South America have brought new tick species on their journey north, ones never seen here in Texas.
By Laura RiceNovember 30, 2015 2:44 pmEnergy & Environment, Health & Science
Image via Alisa Muniz/Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center
You've heard of the butterfly effect – one small change can lead to a dramatically different course in history. Researchers in Texas are studying what could be the songbird effect, actually the songbird tick effect.
Songbirds have recently brought an exotic strain of ticks to Texas. Sarah Hamer, assistant professor in veterinary medicine and biomedical sciences at Texas A&M, has been studying songbird species that migrate from Central and South America.
"They're bringing with them exotic tick species," she says. "Ticks that we don't have here, established throughout the United States, but the birds are bringing in many of these ticks each spring during the migration."
What you'll hear in this segment:
– What's happening with the bird migration and how these new tick species could become established across Texas
– How the changing environment may have previously limited these ticks to countries farther south, and how conditions may become more favorable to these new species
– What risks this invasive species and their pathogens may pose

The Internet can play tricks on you, it has the ability to make the giants of industry look completely invisible. You as an individual website owner can go up against these multi-national corporations and compete against them.
At times, you can even beat them at their own game. The Web has the ability to level the business playing field, it can eliminate the bumps and the curve balls on your behalf. You as a start-up company which really did start yesterday, if you execute properly, can put your dukes up and go toe to toe with the big boys.
Being able to rank on the very top of the major search engines is the tool which can literally skyrocket your business's targeted visitor count. The essence of SEO is strategically placing your targeted "keywords" in online spots on the Web where the buyers are. This will gain you instant exposure by providing them with the exact answers which these unique visitors are willing to pay you for.
Mastering this can be a science as well as a mystical journey, as the search engines dictates the rules. Placing a number of relevant links strategically in the path of the search engines seems to be the key which activates them to notice your site. You will then be able to control your own piece of the virtual real estate space on the Internet, which increases your visibility as well as importance.
Make sure that you register all of your sites on the major search engines, the secondary search engines and the online directories. Google, Yahoo and Bing will allow you to directly add your sites URL to their search databases, which allows anyone to find your site for free.
Since all of these search engines have their own algorithms as well as rules, make sure that you learn as well as follow their exact input instructions. Some claim that you should never submit your site to these search engines and force them to naturally find you via links, but it's up to you.
There's also paid services to kick start the search engine indexing process. There are proven services such as Web.com, which you can use to register your site. You will also get complete SEO reports which will give you detailed suggestions on how you can improve your sites ranking as well as online visibility.
Also create a company profile and then submit them to relevant directories such as DMOZ.org, Yelp, Angie's List and Google Business Center. The more credible the links on these sites appear which leads back to your website, along with your Page Rank, all contributes to a better chance that you'll appear higher in the search results.
Make sure that you make your site friendly to the search engine robots. To begin with, you will need a targeted header on your site which should be no longer than 80 characters max, and a description of what your site offers in 200 characters or less. Both the title as well as the description should also include your "brands" language as well.
Make sure that your targeted keywords as well as your phrases are included in the "meta-tags" of your site, the body of your text (especially the first paragraph), as well as in the search engine description. But never overuse the keywords as this may cause a few of the search engines to determine that your site may be 'spam,' which results in poor page rank.
Write a Press Release, and then distribute it by posting it on the various Press Release Sites at least once a month. This will create significant as well as highly important back-links to your site, which will increase the visibility as well as your sites ranking.
When you're drafting the press release, make sure that you include your targeted keywords at least once in the title and a few times within the text of the body, preferably in the first and last paragraphs.
Once you create your PR copy, make sure that you embed the links pointing back to your site by using your targeted keywords or phrase as anchor text. To avoid the search engines considering your press releases to be spam, hyperlink one keyword every 100 to 150 words.
In some of the cases, the press release distribution service will require you to create the hyperlinks by using their own software. But in most cases, these press release sites will allow basic HTML hyperlink code.
Using wire services such as PR Web, which has a cost for submission, or free submission services such as PRLog.com, will distribute your press release to hundreds of sites as well as social media networks. As there are a lot of sites which allows you to post as well as share your press release at no cost, it's recommended that you use them.
Social media as well as video posting sites offers your site as well as your brand the opportunity of controlling hundreds of web pages located in prime virtual real estate areas on the Internet. The majority of these has high site ranking. You should be using these resources to populate your sites profile, using your specific tagline as well as your Web's URL.
What's important is that you are able to include your chosen keywords as well as your brands language directly on the headlines, the descriptions and the tags on all of your videos, media, images and your social media posts.
Creating online content which includes articles, newsletters, and blogs offers extremely valuable content which can significantly increase your site's exposure in the search engines.
If you are creating the content yourself, then make sure that the headline as well as the first paragraph includes your targeted keywords or brands identity. Link the targeted keyword phrases back to your site or blog.
You should avoid link dumping, by selecting just a few phrases which are meaningful at one time. Surround and support the keywords with descriptive text, which should help the search engines in determining the relevancy of your contents subject in a search query.
Each placement of your site and your brand, along with your content as well as your URL on the Web increases the chances that visitors will find as well as click on your link. So make sure that you syndicate your blogs, your articles and your content strategically across the Web by using syndication distribution sites such as iSnare.com.
You can also share your content by distributing them on social bookmarking sites such as, Delicious, Digg, and StumbleUpon. Also consider using automated syndication sites such as OnlyWire.com or Ping.fm.
Enable your readers as well as your users to be able to share your content easily by embedding social media tools such as TweetMeme or Facebook Share into your blog or Website. Social bookmarking sites as well as social media sharing tools will pull the header of your submitted content onto their sites, so make sure that your keywords are always visible.
Writing comments and guest posts on relevant and popular industry sites, threads, as well as forums are excellent ways to create valuable back-links to your site. Compile a list of the most important blogs, sites and forums in your niche or industry, by using sites such as Technorati or AllTop.
You may also be able to contribute your content as a guest blogger, where you can include your "brand" identity and targeted keywords or company website credentials with your content post.
Make sure that you also comment as well as respond on a regular basis to posts which are made by site content providers who offer relevant opinions which incorporates your targeted brand keywords along with your sites URL.
When you register on new accounts, try using your 'keyword' as your username, and if possible, link it back to your sites URL. In most cases, the username becomes a hyperlink when the comments that you make go live.
One important aspect of effective SEO is getting relevant backlinks pointing to your site from high Page Rank sites. So don't hesitate to ask your visitors, your friends or business partners if they would be interested in exchanging links as well as sharing content.
The Web as well as all the Search Engine Optimization tactics which are used is a constantly moving non stop target, and the strategies which may of worked yesterday, may not work tomorrow. So always keep up to date and follow as well as read up on the latest twists and tweaks that the major search engines make, and take full advantage of them.

Disneyland Monorail Stops: All Aboard the MAGIC!
February 23, 2022 by Victoria Wade
You know it and I am sure you love it! It's the Disney Monorail. This marvel can be found at several Disney Parks, and some consider it to be an attraction in itself.
The monorail's connection to Disney Parks is pretty special and fascinating to learn about. Unlike its Disney World counterpart, you don't necessarily need it to get around Disneyland Resort. But you could be treated to some fun experiences and amazing views.
The Disneyland Monorail is unique in which its great for all ages, perfectly ADA accessible and truly a credit to Walt and his people at Walt Disney Imagineering.
You can the variety of monorail skins, but let's get into the business of what makes it so special and how you can use it for your upcoming Disneyland Resort visit!
Today I will touch base on:
How to Use the Disneyland Monorail
Disneyland Monorail Stops
Top Tips for Riding the Disney Monorail
Brief History of the Disneyland Monorail
Walt had an idea, as he always did, to create a useful mode of public transportation that would innovate the future. He was inspired by the idea during a family visit to Germany. He saw the vehicle and immediately began working with the company, ALWEG, to develop and bring a version to Disneyland.

Thus WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) and ALWEG thrust into the world, the Disneyland Monorail which would be associated with the Disney Parks for years to come. On a sunny and warm June 14, 1959, about 4 years after Disneyland's opening, the Mark I monorail was introduced as an attraction located in Tomorrowland.
It became the very first operating Monorail system in the United States. It was such an important addition in not just Disneyland, but American history.

In fact, Richard Nixon, who was Vice President at the time, was the guest speaker for the dedication ceremony. The Nixon family helped Walt cut the ribbon as well.
First Designs
The original version consisted of two different trains, red and blue, think original Pokemon game colors. Each had 3 cars.
Obviously, this is no longer the case as several versions of the Monorail and more stations have been added over the years, solidifying it as a true mode of transportation. In fact, when you land or depart from Orlando International Airport, you are usually riding the monorail to get to your gate.
Disneyland Monorail Mark 7 in 2014
As of today, the Disneyland Monorail is on its 7th version. It soars gracefully over different areas in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, while giving you jaw dropping views of Disney California Adventure.
It boasts a total of 2.5 miles of track which takes approximately 13 minutes to complete roundtrip.
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland: The History You DIDN'T KNOW
There are two Disneyland monorail stops that you can choose to board while visiting the resort:
The Downtown Disney Station: this is between the Disneyland Hotel and the entrance to the Downtown Disney District

How to ride the Disneyland Monorail?
Riding the monorail is fairly easy! While it doesn't cost anything to board the Disneyland Monorail, because it's considered an attraction, you do need a valid Disneyland admission ticket or Annual Pass.
This means that they will check prior to boarding at the Downtown Disney District station.
Once you have gone past security checkpoint and have provided your valid admission ticket, you are free to board the Disneyland Monorail.
A Cast Member will assist you in filling in all trains and finding a place to board. Once you find a seat, you can enjoy a scenic ride to the next stop, in this case, being Tomorrowland.
Now if you are boarding in Tomorrowland, you won't have to worry about showing a valid admission ticket or annual pass since you are already inside the Disneyland Theme Park.
NOTE: Between February 14-March 6, 2022, the Disneyland Monorail will be closed for refurbishment and unavailable.

Are Strollers/Wheelchairs allowed onboard?
Yes! Your strollers must be folded prior to boarding the Disneyland Monorail.
Any Guests using wheelchairs will be assisted into the car with a ramp and there is no need to transfer to a seat. You will just drive up the ramp into the car and park. Upon disembarking, you will have to back up off the ramp in order to get off the monorail.
How often does the Disneyland Monorail run?
With three trains, you could expect to see a monorail at the station every 10 minutes or so. As mentioned before, a full roundtrip ride takes about 13 minutes to complete.

6 Pro Tips for Using the Disneyland Monorail
While you can't do this at Walt Disney World, you are able to ask a Cast Member if you can ride in the very front. I have personally been able to experience this twice on the Disneyland Monorail and you get extra special views!
Use the Disneyland Monorail to get to Downtown Disney faster during lunch time. Sometimes, Downtown Disney District is a far quieter place to enjoy a peaceful meal amidst the hustle and bustle of Disneyland crowds.
If you plan to ride for a roundtrip journey, avoid doing this 2 hours before its scheduled to close. This is when it's the busiest usually.
If you love the Disneyland Monorail, you can bring it home with you! Well, sort of! Some stores at Disneyland and Downtown Disney sell Disneyland Monorail Playsets. It can be bought on Shopdisney.com too. It is functional and comes with 8 miniature characters, five monorail cars and 14 feet of track for it to drive on.
When riding the monorail, the spiel will give you valuable information about sights, shows, fireworks, parades, park hours and times for these events.
The Disneyland Monorail changes theme! Sometimes its Pixar or a Disney character! you never know what theme monorail you'll be riding on, which adds to the fun!
Time to Depart!
Please remain seated until the monorail comes to a complete stop! Then collect your belongings, watch your head and step carefully from the train.
But before you depart from this article, let's recap briefly!

We learned quite a bit about the inspiration of how the Disneyland monorail came to be and its impact on not just Disney Parks but the United States. We discussed its two Disneyland monorail stops and what is needed to board, not to mention what you can see along the scenic and historic trip around the resort.
As a reminder, if you will be on property between Valentine's Day, Feb 14-March 6th, the Disneyland Monorail will be temporarily unavailable. Otherwise, you can always check the Disneyland app or site for the monorail's current operating hours.
And we can check off the tips and FAQ (frequently asked questions) portion, so let's move on to the final part of our Monorail spiel!

Q: Variable parameterised over a trait not a struct? I'm trying to wrap my head around Rust's generics. I'm writing something to extract HTML from different web sites. What I want is something like this:
trait CanGetTitle {
    fn get_title(&self) -> String;
}

struct Spider<T: CanGetTitle> {
    pub parser: T
}

struct GoogleParser;
impl CanGetTitle for GoogleParser {
    fn get_title(&self) -> String {
        "title from H1".to_string().clone()
    }
}

struct YahooParser;
impl CanGetTitle for YahooParser {
    fn get_title(&self) -> String {
        "title from H2".to_string().clone()
    }
}

enum SiteName {
    Google,
    Yahoo,
}

impl SiteName {
    fn from_url(url: &str) -> SiteName {
        SiteName::Google
    }
}

fn main() {
    let url = "http://www.google.com";
    let site_name = SiteName::from_url(&url);
    let spider: Spider<_> = match site_name {
        Google => Spider { parser: GoogleParser },
        Yahoo => Spider { parser: YahooParser }
    };

    spider.parser.get_title();    // fails
}

I'm getting an error about the match returning Spiders parameterised over two different types. It expects it to return Spider<GoogleParser> because that's the return type of the first arm of the pattern match.
How can I declare that spider should be any Spider<T: CanGetTitle>?

How can I declare that spider should be any Spider<T: CanGetTitle>?

Just to add a little to what @Shepmaster already said, spider cannot be any Spider<T>, because it has to be exactly one Spider<T>. Rust implements generics using monomorphization (explained here) which means it compiles a separate version of your polymorphic function for each concrete type that is used. If the compiler cannot deduce a unique T for a particular call site then it's a compile error. In your case, the compiler deduced that the type must be Spider<Google>, but then the next line tries to treat it as Spider<Yahoo>.
Using a trait object lets you defer all of that to runtime. By storing the actual object on the heap and using a Box, the compiler knows how much space needs to be stack allocated (just the size of a Box). But this comes with performance costs: there is extra pointer indirection when the data needs to be accessed and, more significantly, the optimising compiler cannot inline virtual calls.
It is often possible to rejig things so you can work with a monomorphic type anyway. One way to do that in your case is to avoid the temporary assignment to a polymorphic variable, and use the value only at a place where you know its concrete type:
fn do_stuff<T: CanGetTitle>(spider: Spider<T>) {
    println!("{:?}", spider.parser.get_title());
}

fn main() {
    let url = "http://www.google.com";
    let site_name = SiteName::from_url(&url);
    match site_name {
        SiteName::Google => do_stuff(Spider { parser: GoogleParser }),
        SiteName::Yahoo => do_stuff(Spider { parser: YahooParser })
    };
}

Notice that each time do_stuff is called, T resolves to a different type. You only write one implementation of do_stuff, but the compiler monomorphizes it twice - once for each type that you called it with.
If you use a Box then each call to parser.get_title() will have to be looked up in the Box's vtable. But this version will usually be faster by avoiding the need for that lookup, and allowing the compiler the possibility of inlining the body of parser.get_title() in each case.

A:
How can I declare that spider should be any Spider<T: CanGetTitle>?

You cannot. Simply put, the compiler would have no idea how much space to allocate to store spider on the stack.
Instead, you will want to use a trait object: Box<CanGetTitle>:
impl<T: ?Sized> CanGetTitle for Box<T>
where
    T: CanGetTitle,
{
    fn get_title(&self) -> String {
        (**self).get_title()
    }
}

fn main() {
    let innards: Box<CanGetTitle> = match SiteName::Google {
        SiteName::Google => Box::new(GoogleParser),
        SiteName::Yahoo => Box::new(YahooParser),
    };
    let spider = Spider { parser: innards };
}


Fixed-price retailer Poundland has announced it will stop selling kitchen knives in all of its stores by the end of October.
The retailer has come under pressure from campaigners criticising it for stocking toy blades and meat cleavers for Halloween.
Poundland said it would remove kitchen knives from all 755 of its stores by the end of next month "after thoughtful reflection about concerns raised by both communities and colleagues".
The decision comes after knife crime has risen 16 per cent in the last year in England and Wales.
Patrick Green, chief executive of the Ben Kinsella Trust said that while plastic knives are not illegal, they could lead to children believing "carrying a knife is a normal or exciting thing to do".
"We share their concern on knife crime. That's why no one is doing more than Poundland," a Poundland company spokesperson told press.
"The safety of our colleagues and customers is crucial and we hope our fellow retailers will follow our lead in playing a responsible role in preventing knife-related incidents," they added.
The decision comes after B&M received a record fine of £480,000 for repeatedly selling knives to children and teenagers.

The group is spending $800,000 to remind voters of Stacey Abrams' work on criminal justice reform.
The ACLU's ad seeks to remind voters of Stacey Abrams' work with popular GOP Gov. Nathan Deal.
The American Civil Liberties Union is jumping into one of the defining contests of the 2018 midterm elections, spending $800,000 on a television ad aiming to boost Democrat Stacey Abrams in her neck-and-neck Georgia governor's race against Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
As a nonprofit, the group doesn't officially endorse candidates. But the ad clearly aims to highlight Abrams' work with popular outgoing GOP Gov. Nathan Deal on criminal justice reform issues.
The ad is the latest step in the 98-year-old civil rights' organization's quest to become more directly involved in electoral politics. It has worked this year to oust prosecutors who stood in the way of reform efforts and to stop infamous former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona's GOP Senate primary. And it broke with years of tradition to oppose Brett Kavanaugh's ultimately successful nomination to the Supreme Court.
The ad features a mother from the suburbs of Atlanta discussing how her son, a drug addict, was sentenced to six years in prison.
Abrams and Kemp are in a tight race that pits a progressive state legislative leader who would be the first black female governor of any state in the country against an arch-conservative who has gained a reputation for suppressing voters.
On criminal justice issues, Abrams has proposed ending cash bail and private prisons in the state, restricting the use of asset forfeiture, increasing funding for diversion programs and decriminalizing marijuana. Kemp has opposed those reforms and has said he views private prisons as a form of "competition" for state-run facilities.
The ad also has the benefit of linking Abrams, who has been trying to woo moderate voters since the primary, to Deal, whose approval rating is typically above 50 percent. Deal has endorsed Kemp.
The ad buy is the ACLU's largest of the cycle. The organization announced last week it was suing Kemp's office over the state's controversial "exact match" policy for voter registration.


A reader writes: 'In my last letter, I called you a numbskull. However I should have qualified this with "sometimes you are a numbskull".' I must apologise for an example of my sometimes-numbskullery in this column last week when I asserted that Joe Chamberlain had opposed votes for women in Parliament in 1917. This would have been impossible, as he had been dead three years. I saw the 'Rt Hon. J.A. Chamberlain' in Hansard's division lists and lazily failed to check. J.A. was, in fact, Joe's son, Austen.
In the course of looking into my error, I learn that all Chamberlains (including Neville) inherited Joe's hostility to women's suffrage; but his daughter Beatrice, who campaigned for the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League (of which Gertrude Bell was hon. secretary), changed her mind because of the first world war. She became zealous for Unionist (i.e. Conservative) women's organisations, fearing that 'lively' women would otherwise be dragged into movements 'ostensibly outside politics, but in reality under Radical direction'. One feels she was on to something as one follows this week's coverage of the centenary of votes for women. If the version of history being promoted were the whole truth, one would have to believe that it was only radical women activists who won the day. This ignores at least two vital agencies. First, the all-male Parliament which, in the end, voted overwhelmingly for the change. Second, the fact that women's suffrage was not an isolated event, but part of a massive alteration in the idea of who should vote, which took a century to work through to all adult men and women. In the 19th century, the word 'reform', unqualified by any adjective, meant reform of the franchise, because the issue was so dominant. The extension of suffrage moved in stages from 1832 (under a Whig government) to 1867 (Conservative) — when John Stuart Mill tried to amend it to include votes for women — to 1884 (Liberal) to 1918 (Unionist/National Liberal) to 1928 (Conservative). The long story is a better advertisement for our parliamentary system than for throwing yourself under the King's horse at the Derby.
Nevertheless, I am proud of my great-aunt Kathleen Brown, who once hijacked a horse-drawn fire-engine in the suffragette cause and charged it down Tottenham Court Road clanging its bell. She did time in Holloway. She was also sent to prison in Newcastle for breaking a window in Pink Lane Post Office, and went on hunger strike. She was tiny and brave and I remember her for having hair so long she could sit on it. Would she have wanted to be pardoned by Jeremy Corbyn, as he now proposes? Surely the point of a pardon is to correct an individual injustice — because the person concerned did not commit the crime, for instance. It is not to apply a retrospective political view to what happened. When, in a free society, one breaks the law in order to change it, one is not absolved from punishment just because one acts out of conscience. Indeed, one accepts the state's right to punish ('I am ready to go to jail'). Why should suffragettes who broke ordinary law — criminal damage, assault etc — now have it formally and legally declared that they didn't? It is a form of victor's justice which reduces the law to a mere matter of power.
Don't let the craze for triumphalist feminism put you off going to see Nick Hytner's Julius Caesar at the Bridge Theatre. It is pointless that women act Cassius, Casca and one or two other parts, and that the text is altered to make these characters 'she'. It is annoying that this fashion is welcomed almost without challenge because no one dares. But it does not spoil the production's wonderful understanding of the power of the crowd. The mob is composed of many members of the audience, who have no seats, and are subtly choreographed by actors moving in their midst. This is not a gimmick: it is, one realises, the true context. If, as we did, you sit in the gallery, you can see Caesar, Brutus and Antony acting on the stage of politics just as dramatically as the actors are acting them. In that sense, it is a play within a play.

Nature in Castle in the Sky is much simpler; its purity is corrupted by human influence.

Home Entertainment Dallas reboot: Linda Gray is still stunning at 71
Dallas reboot: Linda Gray is still stunning at 71
Linda Gray outshone her younger new female co-stars during an appearance on The Today Show yesterday to promote the new Dallas reboot.
Linda Gray, 71, who will reprise her iconic Sue Ellen role in the forthcoming U.S. TNT series of the show, looked stunning in a floaty cream dress which showed off her toned legs.
Her skin looked flawless, with smoky eye make-up accentuating her bone structure.
Linda Gray joined fellow Dallas old-timers Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) and Larry Hagman (J.R. Ewing) on the morning TV show to promote the series, which debuts this Wednesday in the U.S.
They were joined by five new cast members including Jesse Metcalfe who plays Bobby Ewing's son Christopher and Josh Henderson who stars as J.R.'s offspring John Ross Ewing III.
According to Linda Gray, her character has "changed a lot" in the reboot, not least her fashion sense, since the original Dallas ended back in 1991.
"I love her right now," she said of her character.
"I loved her then and I love her now. No shoulder pads for one, and her hair's not looking as wild and crazy."
Linda Gray outshone her younger new female co-stars during an appearance on The Today Show yesterday to promote the new Dallas reboot
Linda Gray revealed that the trio of old timers had all consulted each other before deciding to reprise their characters for the new show, which will focus on the younger members of the family.
"We all called each other," said Linda Gray, after being asked if it was a group decision to make the comeback.
"People don't remember that we've been friends for 35 years and we see each other all the time.
"So it wasn't like we hadn't seen each other for 20 years. This was friendships reigniting and we could work together again. That was the great part."
Larry Hagman admitted Linda Gray had to persuade him to take part in the show, but "money" certainly played its part in his decision.
"It doesn't last long, I'll tell you that," he laughed.
"It was strange getting back into the swing of things, but we all fitted into our characters in the end so it was nothing to worry about."
Although the new series has largely been described as a "reboot", Patrick Duffy, 63, said that the correct term for the new series should be a "continuation".
Patrick Duffy said: "It's like you didn't tune in for 20 years and you were on the wrong channel. And if you turned to the right channel here we are. And everything is as it would be 20 years later. It's a perfect continuation. We consider this year 14 of the show."
The actor revealed that his first scene with Larry Hagman, whose character J.R starts out in a nursing home, was particularly meaningful for him.
"It was the first scene I did after not worked with him for 20 years – to go back into that room and to have that scene with Larry – It was a little poignant for me.
"Plus we had to do it about 20 times. We've got a little old. It really was the beginning of the new Dallas for me – to do that scene with him."
And as for TV's most famous oil magnate – apparently he's even nastier than viewers remember him.
"He's gotten meaner and he teaches his son to be mean too," said Larry Hagman when asked by Today host Ann Curry if his character had "evolved".
Josh Henderson, who plays J.R's son John Ross Jr., said he had been so intimidated at filming his first scene with Larry Hagman, that he forgot his lines.
"They are big shoes to fill," he said.
"I was a little nervous and intimidated to come into this show as it was a big deal around the world.
"The first scene was electrifying. His energy – when he steps on set – he literally consumes the room."
Meanwhile, Jesse Metcalf admitted that he had initially been "skeptical" at the idea of bringing back "such an iconic" show.
"But once Larry and Linda and Patrick gave it their stamp of approval, I knew the script was probably on par," he added.
"And after reading it, I thought, <<Wow this is such good storytelling>>."
The actors were also joined today by Jordanna Brewster whose character Elena Ramos finds herself in the middle of a "love triangle" in the show, while Julie Gonzalo plays Rebecca Sutter who is engaged to Christopher.

In Britain, iron deficiency in infants is common. Most babies are born with sufficient iron stores to last for four to six months, but after this time they need to obtain iron from their diet.
By the age of one year your toddler should be joining in family meals. Eating well helps them to grow and develop properly and to stay healthy. Offering a varied and balanced diet should ensure they get all the nutrients they need.
Food is also a source of learning for your child. It is important to try to eat and enjoy food as a family as this will help your child to eat and try new foods. Children need the same nutrients as adults, but because toddlers can't eat large amounts of food at one mealtime, it's important to give them foods rich in calories and nutrients. Offer small regular meals with healthy snacks in between.
As in adults, lean red meat should form part of a healthy, balanced diet. Children aged two to five should move towards lower-fat meat products, which should be grilled, stewed or baked, rather than fried.
Younger children may have difficulty in chewing meat, in which case you can purée lean red meat with vegetables, moving on to looser purées or mince as their chewing abilities develop.
Adolescence is a time when the need for nutrients is increased and eating a healthy balanced diet is important. The growth that occurs during puberty increases the body's demand for protein and other nutrients. Studies have shown that teenagers who diet often have low energy levels and are most at risk from iron deficiency.
Women are more likely than men to suffer from iron depletion, partly due to their menstrual cycle but, in certain cases, this can also be due to poor dietary intake of iron-rich foods.
A good dietary intake should be maintained throughout pregnancy as it is required by the mother and baby as a reserve for blood loss during the birth. A deficiency of iron at this stage may result in low birth weight and premature delivery, as well as the baby being born with low iron stores.
It is also important for women who are breastfeeding to ensure they keep their iron stores maintained in order that adequate iron can be passed to their child via their breast milk.
There are many non-meat sources of iron, but this type of iron is not as easily absorbed by the body as that derived from meat. Consequently, vegetarians are more likely to have low iron levels and, thus, an increased risk of developing anaemia when their need for iron increases, such as during pregnancy. To avoid this, it is advised to drink orange juice with meals because vitamin C helps the body to absorb iron in foods eaten at the same time. Conversely, drinks such as tea and coffee, which contain tannins, inhibit the absorption of iron and should only be drunk between meals and very weak.
