CONCORD, N.C. — Most drivers participating in a weather-shortened test session at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday agreed on one thing — with the start of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season barely a month away, any amount of track time in the new Generation-6 car is crucial.

I had problems redirecting this to the new website because the simple redirect 301 only worked for the /hotel redirection.
You have two different (types of) redirects here, so you'll next at least two "redirect" directives. You can still use the simple Redirect directive for one of them.
This redirects /hotel/ (or /hotel - trailing slash omitted) to /accommodation/ at the new site.
The "simple" Redirect directive is prefix-matching, and everything after the match is copied to the end of the target URL. So, everything after /hotel/ is redirected to the document root of the new site. eg. /hotel/foo is redirected to https://new.example/foo.
This now only targets those specific 3 URLs as mentioned.
The old and new domains point to different filesystems. (In order to avoid a potential redirect loop.) Although with these specific URLs you will be OK either way.
The old site is no longer active and you have removed the existing mod_rewrite directives (WordPress front-controller) from .htaccess. Although, again, it may still "work" with the old directives in place, but they are being unnecessarily processed.

I have tried many combinations that I did not find suggested, even uninstalling RGC completely and nothing has worked. No matter what I do, when I plug the RGC back in, it still shows up as TRANSCODER and the device driver software was not found/successful/installed. When I first installed my RGC HD PRO yesterday, the RGC showed up fine, but there was a red "no signal" so I just re-installed it and now I have this problem.

Movie Review - The Girl on the Train
Published Saturday, October 15, 2016
By Bob Garver
"The Girl on the Train" is a mystery about a missing woman, based on a novel by Paula Hawkins. It was destined from day one to be compared to similar adaptations like "Gone Girl" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Those films were supposed to be in for a big awards push, but failed to secure Oscar nominations in any major category except Best Actress. Here too is a film where I could see the lead actress claiming the sole Oscar nomination, though the film around her is perhaps too weak to make her a true contender.
The story often switches narrators, but it mainly follows Rachel (Emily Blunt). She's a trainwreck of a person, a chaotic alcoholic who spends her days drinking and riding trains to a job she doesn't have. She pauses only to obsess over two couples. The first is somewhat understandable: her ex-husband Tom (Justin Theroux) and his former mistress and now-wife Anna (Rebecca Ferguson). They live in wedded bliss with the daughter Rachel always wanted. The other couple is more inexplicable: Megan (Haley Bennett) and Scott (Luke Evans) are neighbors of Tom and Anna who seem to have life all figured out. Although Rachel only ever sees them through a train window, to her they represent stability and perfection.
Then one day Rachel sees Megan in the arms of another man, her psychiatrist (Edgar Ramirez). Rachel is so infuriated by this betrayal that she sets out to confront Anna over Tom's betrayal. She follows "Anna" into a tunnel, but it turns out she's actually meeting Megan for the first time. Then she blacks out for several hours. Then she wakes up covered in blood. Then she finds out that Megan, who it turns out was a nanny for Tom and Anna, is missing. Who is responsible for Megan's disappearance? Could it really have been Rachel, who is prone to erratic behavior and alcohol-induced blackouts and who can't remember what happened in that tunnel?
From there, the film goes through all the paces that disappearance-based mysteries go through. Everybody has secrets, everybody takes a turn being the most likely suspect. There's a handful of twists, and then weirdly no twist when you'd think there's be one. I'm okay with the "perfect" characters turning out to be not so perfect, it comes with the territory. But I was disappointed that the "interesting" characters weren't so interesting. The men are all drooling oafs in one form or another, The women are all annoyingly self-absorbed, but they fare a little better. Anna tries to maintain a relationship with a man she knows she can't trust because it started with him lying to his wife. Megan is trying to make sense of the many mistakes she's made in her life, including the worst mistake a mother can make. And Rachel is just trying to make it through her pathetic life. Her semblance of sanity depends on the happiness of others, and even that is quickly falling apart.
All of the performances are good in "The Girl on the Train," better than the material deserves. The men manage to breathe life into thankless roles and the women all garner sympathy for inconsiderate characters who seem to like to fall back on the catchall justification of being "flawed." Blunt in particular is compelling in every tearful moment with a character who is unable to survive in polite society. It's a shame that the mystery aspect of this movie is so poorly done. I formed a theory about a third of the way through that turned out to be the solution; a twist that predictable should have another layer or two on top of it. This movie is a step down from, say, "Gone Girl," but I wouldn't label it an entirely useless knockoff.
Two Stars out of Five.
"The Girl on the Train" is rated R for violence, sexual content, language and nudity. Its running time is 122 minutes.

Home›Higher Education›Who's On Your Campus? Have You Checked The Sex-Offender List Lately?
Who's On Your Campus? Have You Checked The Sex-Offender List Lately?
Note: The following guest post was written by Suzanne Bogdan, regional managing partner at the law firm of Fisher & Phillips in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida, office. She chairs the firm's Education Practice Group, providing counsel to private institutions. She also works with accrediting agencies, including the National Association of Independent Schools.
While school administrators monitor their employee and job applicant rolls for sex offenders, they face another challenge: discovering and restricting sex offenders who are employee relatives, volunteers, contractors, even individuals authorized to bring students to and from campus.
As a practical matter, many schools do not conduct criminal-background checks on these people. Nor do they compare names and photo IDs of visitors with information on a sexual-offender/predator website.
Does a school have a duty to notify parents and employees that an individual with access to campus is a sex offender? Should administrators suggest to parents that they not send their children to someone's house or a non-school event because there's a likelihood that a predator will attend?
The answers are not simple. The school could inform its community by posting the offender's photo on campus, but that individual may have legal rights that prevent him or her from being publicly identified.
Identifying sex offenders
There are numerous and fairly straightforward processes for school administrators to identify and restrict sex offenders who are not employees but have access to the school's campus and its students:
Subject all non-employees visiting or performing work at the school to a search on an established sex-offender database, such as the one run by the Department of Justice. The FBI also has a list of state registries. If the school has the resources, it can swipe driver licenses and run them against an offender database. To be effective, the school must restrict access to one or two campus entrances so that no one slips by.
Alternately, assign an employee sworn to confidentiality or hire an outside company to check names that the school collects against those databases. This once-a-year review is not as effective, but it is less expensive. The success of this approach depends on having complete records of employee spouses, partners and relatives and of people authorized to drop off or pick up a student.
Compare the names of coaches, volunteers and others who are likely to have unsupervised access to children to a sex-offender list. That includes employees of any firm that operates a program on campus. The best practice is to require individuals to submit to a criminal background check as a condition of engaging in school-sponsored activity, such as a sport.
School administrators often wonder how wide to cast a net to find people with unsupervised access. The best advice is to investigate any individual who can interact with or encounter children on campus without having a cleared adult present. That includes a parent who volunteers for the school play, an adult who leaves his or her parked car to drop off or pick up a child, and a contractor's employee who uses a children's restroom.
Administration efforts to uncover sexual predators will likely produce a disquieting number of individuals. Some may be relatives of school employees, even their spouses. How can this happen? Employees may keep their spouse or partner's secret because they thought the conviction was in error.
That reasoning absolves no one. As a matter of school policy, each current and prospective employee should be required to report to an administrator any information about a potential campus visitor who is a sex offender or is facing criminal or civil action alleging inappropriate sexual activity with a minor. Employees who fail to follow that rule should be terminated.
Once administrators identify a sex offender with a connection to its school, they must take action to remove or restrict that individual from the campus and school-related activities. This is where the lawyers come in.
The process starts with a scripted conversation with the sex offender, followed by a letter that legal counsel has reviewed. The letter specifies restrictions on that person's access to campus and school activities.
Some parents will object. They may say that they rely on this person to transport their child to and from school. They may want the individual to see their child playing a sport or appearing in a performance. Graduation brings families together, and parents will complain when the school tries to prevent a cherished relative from attending.
Address each situation as it arises while maintaining a uniform policy. An attorney can be of great value here in crafting a response to each challenge to school rules. For example, a family member may be granted access, but only if the individual registers with an administrator upon arrival, agrees to supervision and restrictions on movement around campus, and agrees to leave when asked.
Protecting students from sexual offenders/predators is not a closed-door process. Parents must be informed of school policy regarding employees, relatives and visitors.
The best approach: Explain the school's procedures such as criminal-background checks on employees in a school manual. That section should include a disclaimer that while the school makes every effort to keep predators off campus, it cannot say whether it's safe for children to associate with parents and other adults away from school. The manual should direct parents to reputable websites such as the federal government's Child Welfare Information Gateway page on sexual abuse where they can learn about sex offenders and how to protect their children from them.

In general, we all need to be aware of the sexual offenders/predators that are around us — whether college campuses, in the workplace, in our neighborhoods. This is an important message for young women, definitely.

There is no reason why a convicted sex offender or predator should be on campus with students. They made their bed, now they can lay in it.

Press release / Feb. 16, 2018
Global Witness announced as a new beneficiary of the Dutch Postcode Lottery
Tweet Share Forests Papua New Guinea DONATE
Responding to the announcement of new funding from the Dutch Postcode Lottery, Gillian Caldwell, Chief Executive of Global Witness, said:
"The world's forests provide millions of people with a home, food and a livelihood. But they are under dire threat from companies, including many that are operating illegally, who want to tear down these beautiful and important habitats to make huge profits from the sale of timber or the growth of expensive commodities, such as palm oil.
"When communities are forced out of their homes to make way for big companies to benefit from our natural resources – this is corruption. When governments accept bribes to turn a blind eye to the horrific environmental impact of tearing down forests to replace them with a single crop or, even worse, a mine or power station – this is corruption. And when those defending their right to land are sexually assaulted, attacked or even killed for standing up to big vested interests – this is corruption.
"Over the last two decades, Global Witness has worked to expose those companies that destroy our forests through illegal logging or seize land for crop farming, as well as the governments who work alongside them to enable this activity. We champion the rights of local communities to own, protect and safeguard their forests for generations to come and speak out against the corruption that drives human and environmental abuses against them.
"The funding from the Dutch Postcode Lottery will support us to reach new audiences with our campaigns to combat corrupt activity and protect forests – from Peru to Papua New Guinea and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We will continue to put pressure on those who exploit these incredible natural habitats for profit and work to ensure these natural resources benefit the communities that live there and help to mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change. We are grateful to the players of the Dutch Postcode Lottery for their support for this important work."

Fly Intel: Top five weekend stock stories » 19:54

Catch up on the…
Catch up on the weekend's top five stories with this list compiled by The Fly: 1. The Trump administration notified Huawei suppliers, including chipmaker Intel (INTC), that it is revoking certain licenses to sell to the Chinese company and intends to reject dozens of other applications to supply the telecommunications company, Reuters' Karen Freifeld and Alexandra Alper reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The action - likely the last against Huawei Technologies under Republican President Donald Trump - is the latest in a long-running effort to weaken the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker, which it says is a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, the authors noted. 2. Apple (AAPL) has begun early work on an iPhone with a foldable screen, a potential rival to similar devices from Samsung (SSNLF) and others, though it's planning only minor changes for this year's iPhone line, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported. The company has developed prototype foldable screens for internal testing, but hasn't solidified plans to actually launch a foldable iPhone, the author note. The development work hasn't expanded beyond a display, meaning Apple doesn't yet have full handset prototypes in its labs, according to a person familiar with the work. 3. Just over twenty years ago, Pat Gelsinger became Intel's first-ever chief technology officer and now he is back, with the CEO job he presumably wanted all along, Max Cherney wrote in this week's edition of Barron's. Gelsinger has his work cut out for him, the author added, noting that a series of manufacturing problems at Intel have allowed rivals AMD (AMD) and Nvidia (NVDA) to take share in key chip markets. Gelsinger's appointment is a step in the right direction, but a rebound will still take time, the publication contended. 4. State attorneys general are planning another lawsuit against Google (GOOG), this one focused on the search and advertising giant's Play Store for Android phones, according to Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The lawsuit is expected to be filed in February or March, the sources said, and it would follow complaints about Google's management of its Play Store even though the company was originally seen as more open about its app store than Apple. 5. 3M (MMM) and Toll Brothers (TOL) saw positive mentions in this week's edition of Barron's, while GameStop (GME) was mentioned cautiously.
Toll Brothers a play on the 'single-family supercycle,' Barron's says
3M stock 'unloved, underpriced,' Barron's says

Says Michele Bachmann said on Fox News, "This country could use a president like Benjamin Franklin again."

Did Michele Bachmann say 'this country could use a president like Benjamin Franklin again'?
By Katie Sanders on Thursday, June 5th, 2014 at 10:45 a.m.
A Facebook meme claims Michele Bachmann said Benjamin Franklin once served as president.
Misleading memes about U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., continue to give our readers pause.
We've twice debunked wild posts claiming Bachmann said Jesus wrote the Bible in English and that she said President Barack Obama might be responsible for the April Fort Hood, Texas, shooting spree. Both quotes were made up, so they got our Pants on Fire rating.
Recently, a reader asked us to investigate a third post, a screenshot of Bachmann in mid speech with a quote overlay.
"The nation has gotten away from the principles of the founding fathers under the failed leadership of Barack Obama. This country could use a president like Benjamin Franklin again," the posts quotes Bachmann as saying on Fox News on May 28.
If this were a baseball game, we'd call "strike three!" Yes, Bachmann is no fan of Obama. Yes, she is known to bring up the founding fathers, sometimes to controversial ends.
But no, she did not remember iconic American Ben Franklin as a past president. Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, served as the nation's first postmaster general and later as U.S. ambassador to France. But he was never president.
A search of transcripts and news stories for the quote came up dry.
Bachmann spokesman Dat Kotman said she did not even appear on Fox that day, and we could not find any evidence that she did.
As if the meme weren't fishy enough, the screenshot is also the backdrop for the fake quote about Fort Hood. It's originally from Bachmann's June 2013 interview on Fox News' Hannity when she discussed her decision to leave Congress at the end of her term in January 2015. The post appears to track back to a satirical group called "Christians for Michele Bachmann."
Bachmann did extol Franklin in a high-profile address, but she did not refer to him as a president. She referenced Franklin twice in a speech announcing that she was abandoning her 2012 presidential bid.
Bachmann alluded to a painting by Howard Chandler Christy of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, which hangs in a stairway in the Capitol's House wing. She remembers seeing the painting, with its reminder of the "connection we have to the principles of freedom and justice," on the night she decided to seek the Oval Office. Benjamin Franklin is seated distinctly in the center of the painting, one of the most visible figures in a sea of powdered wigs.
"But never was the painting's reminder more poignant than on the evening of March 21, 2010, the day Obamacare was passed," Bachmann said. "Staring out from the painting is the face of Ben Franklin as a consistent reminder of the fragile Republic he and the founders gave to us."
She did not refer to him as a past president then, and we could not find other examples of her mistaking him for a president.
A meme claims that Bachmann said, "This country could use a president like Benjamin Franklin again." This quote is made up.
Bachmann wasn't on TV the night of her alleged remarks and we could find no reference of her claiming Franklin was president. We rate the claim Pants on Fire.

Naturalized Citizens Are Poised to Reshape California's Political Landscape
Teresa Watanabe, Los Angeles Times, May 11, 2009
More than 1 million immigrants became U.S. citizens last year, the largest surge in history, hastening the ethnic transformation of California's political landscape with more Latinos and Asians now eligible to vote.
Leading the wave, California's 300,000 new citizens accounted for nearly one-third of the nation's total and represented a near-doubling over 2006, according to a recent report by the U.S. Office of Immigration Statistics. Florida recorded the second-largest group of new citizens, and Texas claimed the fastest growth.
Mexicans, who have traditionally registered low rates of naturalization, represented the largest group, with nearly one-fourth of the total. They were followed by Indians, Filipinos, Chinese, Cubans and Vietnamese.
The new citizens are reshaping California's electorate and are likely to reorder the state's policy priorities, some political analysts predict. Several polls show that Latinos and Asians are more supportive than whites of public investments and broad services, even if they require higher taxes.
Most Latinos, for instance, support all five budget propositions on the May ballot while most whites oppose them, according to recent polls by the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. Although viewed as largely conservative, most Asian Americans supported a 2004 measure requiring large businesses to provide health insurance to employees, even as it failed at the ballot box, according to an analysis by the Asian Pacific American Legal Center in Los Angeles.
Nationally, nonwhite voters overwhelmingly supported Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, while most whites voted for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a recent study by the Pew Research Center showed. And there were more nonwhite voters last year–Latino registered voters increased by 3 million compared with 2004, said Antonio Gonzalez, president of the Southwest Voting Registration Education Project in Los Angeles.
The surge in new citizens will accelerate by several years the California electorate's shift from majority white to nonwhite, according to Dowell Myers, a USC demographer. Although that shift won't be completed until 2026, Myers and others said, Latinos, Asians and African Americans are already joining with progressive whites to elect ethnically diverse candidates.
The path to the 1-million mark was paved by an organized collaboration among community activists, the Spanish-language media and government. Univision TV network and La Opinion newspaper, in particular, had many stories about the importance of citizenship and demystified the application process, said Arturo Vargas, executive director of the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund in Los Angeles.
U.S. immigration officials worked weekends to distribute information, develop TV scripts and provide an official to conduct an on-air mock citizenship interview, Vargas said. Jane Arellano, district director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' seven-county area covering Southern California, was the movement's "unsung hero," he said.
Meanwhile, the region's adult and community colleges joined the effort, expanding English and civics classes to help prepare immigrants for their citizenship test. The Los Angeles Unified School District's adult education division nearly doubled the number of citizenship classes last year over the previous year, officials said.
One of those new Latino voters was Joanuen Llamas, a 26-year-old Mexico native and Los Angeles homemaker who legally immigrated here in 1998. She was inspired to become a citizen in March 2008 after joining the massive immigrant rights marches of recent years and took to heart their slogan, "Today we march, tomorrow we vote."
But Gonzalez said Latinos and other immigrants still had far to go, noting that 8 million of them have not yet claimed citizenship although they are eligible. "The test is going forward," he said.
Indeed, new citizenship applications have already dropped significantly. In the Southern California district, for instance, applications plunged to 58,433 last year from 253,666 the previous year, U.S. immigration statistics show.
Most experts say that a 69% increase in application fees to $675 was one reason for the steep decline. The Obama administration is proposing $206 million in funding for immigration services that could help reduce the fee by about $50, and activists are hoping for more, said Rosalind Gold of the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund. New citizen Alfonso Vergara is one product of the massive citizenship campaign effort. A Mexico native and pharmaceutical technician, the 31-year-old said he had postponed applying for citizenship for years because the process seemed too time-consuming.

A bipartisan Senate committee convened on Thursday to discuss updating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, or ECPA, to be in line with the current Internet age.
The act in its present form is an update to the Federal Wiretap Act of 1968 and was written in a time before everyone had email, let alone use social networks or store files on the cloud. Despite a couple of amendments, the 1986 version of the act treats all kinds of messages differently and has a number of provisions that don't necessarily apply to today's world, leaving digital communications subject to very little privacy protections.
Current legislation requires a warrant for unopened emails that are less than six months old, but lets authorities access emails that have already been read as well as any older communications, with nothing but a subpoena.
Updating the bill aims to control the privacy of practically anything stored on the Internet. This includes any private family photos, personal notes or company documents uploaded to the cloud, and of course any email exchanges -- just to give you an idea of the sheer size of that, the 2012 global average of mails sent per day is 144.8 billion. The updated bill will, among other things, set clearer rules for who can gain access to your Facebook photos and posts, meaning it will have high impact even in civil cases.
Requiring law enforcement to get a search warrant for any kind of electronic content, regardless of whether they've been read or how old they are, has been the aim of many Silicon Valley companies as well as politcal parties, as many Congress members are also storing sensitive information with third-parties and they want it to be protected. Today, a Senate committee voted unanimously to advance this reform, but the bill still has a long way to go as it faces the challenge of getting passed in the full 100-member Senate next week.
At the rate the internet has matured over the last decade we often find that the law is unable to keep up the pace, it's good to see legislation trying to fill in the gap.

Interview with Fly FM's Moe Nasrul
We talk to Moe Nasrul, one of the most well-known voices on the Malaysian airwaves.
Mohammad Nasrullah, aka Moe Nasrul, was born in Syracuse, New York and raised in Hawaii until the age of fifteen. While growing up in Hawaii he was given the nickname Moe and consequently adopted the name Moe Nasrul as a homage to his Malaysian roots.
Having started his career as a classical musician (Cellist), he made a surprising transition into the world of 'Rock and Roll' learning the bass guitar and co-forming a band called the Six Samurai's.
These skills and experiences have spring-boarded Moe Nasrul a talented young man into multiple new fields including presenting on Fly FM, Voice-over work, TV hosting, having his own online radio show and a forthcoming début solo album.
Hello Moe Nasrul! We'd like to start by asking you about your early years growing up in Hawaii. What are your memories of your time living there?
Moe Nasrul: Well I guess you can say that my memories are of my friends In Hawaii, growing up, learning how to surf, camping on the beach. It was a fun time growing up as far as I could remember.
We love Rock and Roll, we even have authentic signed photographs of Elvis and the Beatles on the office wall! You obviously have a great affinity for music, who were your early influences and are they the same as your musical influences today?
Moe Nasrul: Actually yes. My musical influences are more or less the same. In terms of vocally, I look up to Axl Rose, Sebastian Bach, Corey Taylor, and Steven Tyler from Aerosmith as my main inspiration for my vocal style and even my on-stage persona.
When you were learning to play the cello, how serious were you about Moe Nasrul the professional Cellist? What was it that made you decide to switch to becoming a contemporary musician?
Moe Nasrul: When I was learning the cello, it was more about expressing myself because the cello had the same range as the human voice but in terms of becoming a professional cellist, it had occurred from time to time as a suggestion from my music teacher but I never really delved into it.
What made me change to contemporary music was my love of being on stage. At that time I felt the bass guitar which I have picked up straight after learning the cello allowed me greater freedom that the decorum of classical music. After that, I was hooked on rock and roll and never looked back. It became something I lived and breathed.
You co-formed the band Six Samurai's, what were your best memories of this time in your career?
Moe Nasrul: My best memory was my very first radio interview and the very first time I heard my song being played on the radio. I guess nothing tells you that you are going to make it more than hearing a song that you spend hours writing and perfecting being played for the rest of the world to enjoy on the radio.
You're well known for your work on Fly FM as Moe Nasrul news and traffic presenter, how did you get involved in this industry and was it a straightforward transition from Band member to Presenter?
Moe Nasrul: It was not as straightforward as many might think. I had joined the radio right after my band had disbanded so you can say that the transition into the other aspect of the entertainment industry came at a very hard time for me.
I was fortunate enough to have performed at Fly FM's Campur Chart Goes Live and was actually offered a job as a Trooper that night to which eight months later I was promoted to News and Traffic presenter. I guess you can say that the rest is history. But if I have a choice, I'd stick to rock and roll.
You have your own online radio show called Moe Nasrul's Rock Shack on Ruumz.fm. What are the best things about having your own show?
Moe Nasrul: Complete and total control. 'Muahahaha'.
I get to decide what songs are played on my radio show and it is all these songs you would never hear on the Malaysian radio in a million years as well as I'm able to direct the feel of my show and talk about music not just in a "what is Justin Bieber doing" type of way or "Here's what Lady Gaga is doing" but more on "if you want to get Slash's guitar sound, here's what pedals you should use" or "if you want to get a record deal as a band, how should you do it"—talk bout the real stuff of music.
You also do a lot of voice-over work. We've seen the Transformers/LG advert and got a sore throat trying to do the Moe Nasrul gravelly voice! Do you have to keep doing take after take until you get the right tone/pitch or does it just come naturally!
Moe Nasrul: I guess you can say it's both. Because obviously I did not have the ability at the beginning. The ability to do that on command came about after years of vocal training and experimenting with different styles of rock and roll. The "growl" voice that you heard on the Transformer LG advert, believe it or not, is a combination of my talking voice and a death metal grunt.
So I have applied all that I have learned as a vocalist in a rock band into voice-overs which have allowed me a wider range of versatility. Case in point here is an interesting fact—did you know that if you can sing like Axl Rose, the same muscles are used in making the "Smeagol" voice from The Lord of the Rings. Same technique.
On your official Moe Nasrul website you mention that you are currently working on a solo album, how is this coming along, and what type/genre of music will it be?
Moe Nasrul: That's completely true. I am currently working on my solo album and so far it is on track and it will be coming out this year. In terms of genre, I have been experimenting with a lot of different forms of rock and roll and infusing it with electro. You can say I have gone the direction of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. But more hard rock than industrial metal.
Thank you for taking some time out to answer our questions, is there anything else that you would like to add?
Moe Nasrul: Yeah! I'm more than happy to give free advice. At the same time, you can join my mailing list and get free mp3 downloads of a collaboration song I did with Sashi C Loco formerly of Poetic Ammo known as "Bintang". More free stuff to come at the launch of my album. So join now to be part of the Moe Nasrul family.

Home Interviews SIDDHARTH ANAND KUMAR – VP Films and Television, Saregama India and Producer at Yoodlee Films
[Inteview] SIDDHARTH ANAND KUMAR – VP Films and Television, Saregama India and Producer at Yoodlee Films
SIDDHARTH ANAND KUMAR – VP Films and Television, Saregama India and Producer at Yoodlee Films talked to us about the marketing of movies on OTT platforms, their future plans, and censorship on OTT platforms.
Ques1: Theatrical release and OTT release, as a production house you have experience in both. Can you pinpoint big differences between the two?
Apart from the obvious difference in the screen size, the critical difference lies in primarily the choice of subjects one gets to see in the two domains. In an OTT release, we as content creators are not bound by box office considerations of whether a subject – to use an oft-abused phrase – is 'commercial enough' . We are free to create narratives that dare to go left of center, taking on subjects that are at once relevant and engaging. There also lies a difference in the economies of scale of release in a theatrical. There is a certain amount of marketing spends that have to be sanctioned in along with print and distribution costs for a theatrical release. All this adds to the pressure of recovering the same from box office revenues. In an OTT release, this is obviously negated. Having said that, Yoodlee is open to both theatrical and OTT releases for all the films we make.
Ques2: In the absence of big stars, how do you plan out the marketing of a movie to be released on the OTT platforms.
The marketing for a film on an OTT release is determined in collaboration with the OTT platform we have partnered with. Our films are not dependent on stars, they are driven purely on the strength of the subject, and our marketing is geared towards that. We use digital where we can target who we are speaking to, radio and a healthy relevant dose of PR to talk about our films.
ALSO READ What is AdMob and how to make money from Mobile Application using AdMob?
Ques3: In layman terms can you explain how do we measure the success of a movie on platforms like Netflix and Prime?
OTT partners don't share numbers generally on the number of streams/ views a film has done. But if your movie featured in the Trending sections, and continues to feature there for a considerable amount of time, then you know that you have done something right! Also, the rating of the film on the platform, which is driven by users actually watching the film, is a good yardstick. The chatter that one picks up on social media is also an indicator of how well the film has been received.
Ques4: What is your content strategy like, when it comes to Originals indifference to the movie to be released in theaters.
Our strategy is simple: make relevant content to an ever-evolving millennial audience. Talk to them about issues that rankle them in their daily lives, but make it entertaining. OTT players have their own content strategy for Originals. Think given our track record with OTT platforms, we can safely say that our content finds a fit in many of these platforms as Originals. Whether it's theatrical or OTT original, Yoodlee makes content that is stirring and daringly original. That's our forte.
Ques5: Censorship on OTT platforms is one of the most discussed topics. Do you believe there should be censorship on online content and your views on exploitation of the freedom by filmmakers?
I feel censorship lies within the locus of your moral compass and how you define it in your craft. We are essentially filmmakers and content creators and me as a creator of a work of cinematic art- will have a definite viewpoint on what is important for my film, what it demands and what I need to include to get across my story. I also like to believe that I am a responsible filmmaker who is well aware of the cultural and social ramifications of the country we stay in. I feel censorship is terrible but it is that filmmakers respect the feelings and sensitivities of audiences and balance that with the demands of the story.
I think the onus to censor and the extent they would want to censor lies with each individual platform. For content creators like us we will go by the sanctity of the story and how best can we bring it to the screen without compromising on the creative vision. Case in point: two of Yoodlee Films – Ajji and Ascharyachakit had subject matters which were edgy and traversed unconventional routes. Both films are now available on Netflix because the films were true its milieu and it reflected relevant topics of our times. Like I have said I believe OTT platforms allow creative people and writers a platform where they can express their work without commercial trappings. So at Yoodlee we respect the filmmaker's vision and do what's best to express this on-screen responsibly.
Ques6: Other than your own production which is your favorite movie/web series that you watched lately.
Game of Thrones, Haunting of Hill House and Made in Heaven.

Search marketing should be a top priority for organizations in any industry. But B2B search marketing efforts take a slightly different form than the tactics used in consumer focused SEO and PPC programs . Typically, B2B markets are smaller, products and services are more complex, and sales cycles are longer. Therefore, B2B marketers must think a bit differently in terms of target keywords, online content and link building.
1. For B2B companies, getting found is just the beginning. While B2C companies can reasonably expect to generate a purchase from a single site visit, the sales cycle for B2B companies is much longer. Once a prospect finds the B2B website via search, the real work begins to convert the prospect to a sale. Understanding the B2B searcher and their position within the sales cycle (Evaluation, Consideration, Purchase) is essential for creating appropriate optimized content to meet their needs.
2. Content is key for B2B websites. For B2C websites, the majority of content focuses purely on product information. Because sales conversions for B2B organizations are based more on building relationships, content must position that organization as an industry thought leader and a trusted resource. Including video demos, case studies and newsletters on a site can help B2B organizations build relationships with their audience.
For one client in the B2B marketing industry, TopRank devised a blog strategy incorporating industry thought leader interviews. Insight was gathered from notable figures and shaped into keyword-optimized blog posts for a special interview series. This tactic contributed to a nearly 50% increase in organic traffic to the blog. More importantly, referrals from the blog to the corporate site increased by more than 140%.
3. B2B target keyword glossaries must be more robust. Clearly, targeting the proper keywords is essential to any search marketing campaign. But for B2B organizations, keywords need to cover a longer buying cycle, and therefore must often be more diverse than B2C target keywords. Prospects at the beginning of a sales cycle might use certain terms to search for information that differs from terms used by those ready to purchase. That variety of keywords must be supported by relevant content and link building as well.
For one B2B client, TopRank® Online Marketing devised a robust keyword strategy that considered audiences at multiple touch points to achieve significant results. The realization was made that prospects who are ready to buy typically use solution-based terms – either general or exact product names – in their searches. On the other hand, prospects at the beginning of the sales cycle use issue- or problem-based terms in their searches. The target keyword glossary, therefore, included both specific product terms and issue-based terms. This helped increase keyword referrals by more than 60%.
5. B2B search marketing efforts have to speak to multiple entities within a business. Unlike B2C purchases, B2B purchases involve different stakeholders within a company. Each stakeholder comes to the site with a different set of expectations.
For example, a B2B site that sells recruitment software might be visited by a company's HR manager to gauge the effectiveness of the software. A member of the company's finance department might visit the site to assess the value of the product. In still another scenario, a member of the company's IT department might visit the site to learn how the software can be integrated into the overall system.
As you can see, there are some important considerations for B2B search marketing vs consumer focused audiences. The key is to understand the unique needs of the target audience, how they search, evaluate solutions, consume information and ultimately, how search affects decision making, both directly and indirectly.
What tips do you have for B2B organizations to add to this list?
This is a great start for the B2B marketer. I am especially intrigued by the use of different keywords depending on where the prospect is in the selling cycle. Nice stuff.
A common problem I see is that many B2B sites don't have active blogs, or are actively updating their site in anyway. Hard to get people linking to you, and talking about you online that way. To keep things going they almost have to have someone actively promoting or offering expertise through forums, twitter, and stuff like that.
Great stuff! B2B companies need to identify the multiple personas they are looking to reach, the way they refer to the problem they are experiencing, and the metrics their superiors use to measure their success. If you pay attention to that data it's much easier to shorten the sales cycle.
In B2B marketing it still holds true that you must earn trust and respect before you ask for a sale. Online marketing such as article posting, social media, and blogging give businesses the visibility and credibility edge.
This is an absolutely amazing article and I can't thank you enough for posting it. It definitely got me started thinking in different ways about my website. We started to do UI changes to make the experience better for people but I definitely think that SEO is the next big goal for us.
We have been writing on our blog, and have done small things but we haven't done a real thorough analysis of the blog as far as SEO is concerned.
I am excited to use this as a model for my site and other sites that we built for B2B companies.
Thanks again for the information and we appreciate it!

One more thing that we can add customer testimonials on website. On virtual world Customer testimonial have a high importance.
I like the 5th point a lot. Most B2B companies out there fail to recognize the fact that their company site is going to be visited by different stakeholders. This is a crucial point for better conversion as elaborated in the article.
Most B2B companies out there fail to recognize the fact that their company site is going to be visited by different stakeholders.One more thing that we can add customer testimonials on website.
Nice article…..I've always been a sucker for case studies and white papers. They absolutely have influenced my B2B decisions over the years.
Great post. It's all very logical isn't it but how many business owners do this?
Personally I am a great fan of using PPC & Analytics to find out what search terms people actually use. Quite often they are not what you would expect. e.g. You may be a "Budget Airline" but your customers won't be looking for that, but they will be looking for "Cheap Airfares from X to Y".
I am also a great fan of using Analytics to find out which search terms convert into an action and which don't. How important is that????
I also recommend using the various different match types Broad, Phrase & Exact in PPC to pinpoint exactly which keywords work. In fact there is a great $5 tool that can help you with this called the Text Ad Converter. It easily converts keyword match types in MS Excel & can add US States & Cities for Geo-Targeting. You can preview it at our website http://tinyurl.com/yj88pn8 if you wish. It certain saves you time and helps your targeting.
Good post. Most B2B websites I've seen push for P2P engagement which kind of goes along with the longer conversion cycle. When devising content for the B2B website, there is a fine line between too much and too little. Striking a balance between adequate information and seductive omission of detail is key.
Michelle the tips which you have mentioned here about B2B search marketing are very true and result oriented. I need to implement them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank your for this very helpful piece! It helps me understand where to focus my energies particularly when you explain that I need to understand how my target searches, evaluates solutions and consume information.
For B2B you must get the customer involved. Of course this follows effective keywording and SEO. Personal pages such as "my product" inclusions really boost repeat business. Stroking the customers ego just like Facebook and other social media sites do.
This might be a bit off topic, but what do you do with a B2B client who doesn't think they need any SEO because they are, well, a B2B company?
Answering marketing channel questions like that is a matter of determining audience and demand. For SEO demand is determined, in part, by doing keyword research in the category. Are prospects for that B2B company searching at the various points in the sales cycle? Are journalists that cover that B2B vertical searching for subject matter experts? Are candidates searching for jobs in that B2B field? What about customers searching for "after the sale" information? If the answer is yes to any of those, SEO is appropriate for that B2B company. Otherwise, they're simply losing out on that traffic to competitors.
Thanks for such an insightful article. Re: #5, having testimonials from customers that represent different stakeholders can be very powerful. Would you suggest different landing pages for different stakeholders, for prospects entering keywords with problem-based vs solution based terms? Are there any case-study examples that we can see?
Very insightful article that helps you to think outside the box! The blog stragegy was such a fantastic idea that generated organic traffic.
Excellent post "B2B purchases involve different stakeholders within a company. Each stakeholder comes to the site with a different set of expectations" I think that this is a point that many businesses miss when creating content.
Love the idea of a glossary. We will be adding one before the new year.
Thanks for the very helpful information about SEO.Search marketing should be a top priority for organizations in any industry. But this blog really good and every tips very important.
Thanks for all the information, these is really helpful.
Thank you for this post. I will share with our readers.
Creating customer blogs would be great for all B2B websites.
This is an excellent blog post on b2b marketing. I think that content is the number tool here because it acts a powerful pre-selling tool. In addition interviews are very powerful because they show the person behind the company – the more personal the better.

Florida, a trendy preseason pick to reach the Final Four, fell to 6-3.
If there was anything this outcome proved, it is that the Bulldogs are not wholly dependent on Baldwin. He was the Hall of Fame Classic MVP and coming off a 31-point game at Mississippi.
Two free throws by Thompson gave Butler its biggest lead, 61-42, with 7:33 left. The Gators were never closer than nine points thereafter.
Butler seized a 35-26 halftime lead with little contribution (three points) from Baldwin, who went to the bench early with two fouls and was confined to 10 first-half minutes.
The Bulldogs made their last six shots of the half and shot 52% (11-of-21). McDermott scored the Bulldogs' last eight points of the half, including a 3-pointer with four seconds on the clock off Thompson's fourth assist.
The Gators were 2-of-8 on free throws in the first half. It was a half of spurts.
Christian David's 3-pointer capped a 12-2 run that gave Butler a 12-7 lead. The Gators responded with a 12-1 run to build their biggest lead, 19-13, with 7:46 left in the half.
Baldwin scored his only first-half points on a long 3-pointer to trim the deficit to 19-16, but a lob to Andrew Newbhard extended Florida's margin to 21-16.
Butler outscored Florida 19-5 to close out the half, featuring 10 points by McDermott and seven by Tucker.

Opposition To Sen. Mike Lee's Defunding Obamacare Demonstrates Republicans Have Been Castrated
David Risselada July 30, 2013
What do you do when the people you vote for no longer represent you? As the days of America's fundamental transformation carry us further and further into the abyss, more and more Americans are waking to the debacle that is Obamacare. Ironically as the list of those opposing grows among the citizens, the ones we voted for based on the promise of repeal must have been castrated or something because they have all but jumped ship on the repeal efforts. Why? Knowing the progressives that call themselves Republicans today I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn they are playing a radical game to keep us confused and allow the blame for the coming "train wreck" to fall on the shoulders of Republican Party. Would that really surprise anyone who is keeping their eye on the ball? The Republicans in general allow themselves to be blamed for everything because they are afraid of not being liked. To them saving the country is about as imperative as a high school popularity contest.
Once again I find myself regretting my support for Tom Coburn (R-OK) and other so called "Republicans" as they take a lead role in opposing Senator Mike Lee's (R-UT) legislation to defund the increasingly unpopular healthcare law. Many Republicans are calling these efforts foolish because they believe it will destroy the Republican Party. I have news for you Republicans:
You are destroying the Republican Party by being cowards and failing to articulate the difference between real conservatism that defends the individual, and the Marxist based liberalism that is responsible for the destruction of Detroit. Failure to realize this and take the lead in defending freedom makes you more responsible for the destruction of this nation than the liberal democrats. Why? Because we expect that from them, you are supposed to be the checks and balances against the authoritative statist position the democrats represent. You have a lot of nerve as far as I am concerned. You play the game the liberals play by allowing yourself largesse off the public treasury and then have the audacity to snub your nose at us when faced with the obvious mandate you have been given. That's fine; you can pack your bags now because you are leaving next fall.
The biggest problem with the republicans is that they fall in to the game of "scheming" and planning, not realizing that the liberals have mastered the tactic of making everything stick to them. They actually believe that once Obamacare is fully implemented the momentum for repeal will shift and they will be able to seize the moment. The momentum for repeal is gaining now and they are not seizing any "moment;" rather, they are showing their constituencies their true colors-yellow. They are showing America that they no longer have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to a 1960's radical who believes in socialism because he is a cry baby who thinks everything is unfair. So in a misguided effort to show they can be fair they are letting him get away with everything he wants, like crybabies usually do.
I think they are right in assuming that the momentum will shift in favor of repeal after its implementation; however, that is when it will become downright impossible to repeal. Whatever freebies that are involved will likely offset the negative effects for many people making repeal efforts appear to be, for all practical purposes, "Big evil Republicans trying to take away poor people's healthcare." Think about it, the majority of people want it repealed now and they are afraid to do it, wait until later down the road when it becomes one of the only viable options for obtaining coverage.
I would also like to know what they are going to do about the little IRS issue. In case you have forgotten, the IRS, the agency responsible for policing Obamacare has not only just been caught targeting Obama's political opposition, but they have been hiring new agents and arming themselves as well. So, failure to repeal this beast puts the Republican Party responsible for whatever ill effects will come from this madness. It doesn't matter if it's the Democrat's bill. These ding dongs posing as republicans have lost their cajones and haven't even put an honest effort into repealing it. It would be one thing if there was an obvious tooth and nail effort but they went out with a whimper not a bang. Let them know what you think America.
