Public Relations for Hollywood Movies
It is amazing the amount of money that Hollywood spends promoting its movies and public-relations efforts and it seems they spend more money on public-relations and community goodwill then they actually do in advertising or marketing. Public relations, publicity stunts and getting the actors to go on talk shows very much helps the movie industry promote their flicks. But, public relations for Hollywood movies is not as easy as it looks, in fact, if it is done incorrectly it can actually hurt the movie.Of course the right amount of controversy also helps sell tickets as long as that

Do You Have a Destination in Mind for Your Business?
A fundamental requirement of a leader is that he or she have a destination in mind for the organization. Armed with a clear vision for what the company will look like at some point in the future, the leader is in a position to encourage and enable other key managers in the organization to do the likewise.An old business friend recently called for my help. Although I have worked closely with several members of his family spanning three generations, our paths have not crossed over the last few years. It was a pleasant experience getting caught up on both his company and his family.On one rainy afternoon in April all of my sites went down. I soon heard the terrible news… the server had crashed and wouldn’t reboot. That night Murphy’s Law came into effect, and the server remained down until a new and empty drive was installed the morning after. From that morning on, I was told I was on my own. The following is what I learned from this experience.

1. Back ups are lifesavers, if done correctly

I had fairly recent or full back ups (on my PC and CD-RW) of all the sites I’ve designed, a handful of which belong to clients and not myself.

I ended up reworking a few recent changes, like content deletions I had made in the weeks pr

There were glitches, despite all of my precautions. For example, I had depended solely on CPANEL for my forum database backup. Apparently the database had grown so large that when downloading the daily back up some of the database had been cut off. Large pieces of the forum database were lost.

Now I know to back up in multiple forms, like:

a) Structure only and data only.

Tip: Prune the data regularly to avoid mega-sizing your databases.

b) Compressed and not compressed.

c) Software/browser
