Video Ad sequencing – Driving Deeper Awareness on YouTube
Tell your story by showing ads in a particular sequence to a single user. Using YouTube in-stream or bumper ads.
Google Ads recently launched the video ad sequencing, with it you can tell your product or brand story by showing people a series of videos in the order that you define. You can use a video ad sequence campaign to build interest, reinforce a message, or create a unifying theme. This post explains how video ad sequencing works, what type of bidding strategies and ad formats you can use, and how you can view the results of your campaign.
Below is how it works by Google Ads Support.
How it works
A video ad sequence is made up of a series of video ads that you’d like to show to a person. Each sequence campaign is made up of a series of “steps.” Within each step of a sequence is an ad group and a video ad. Most of a sequence’s settings are selected at the campaign level—such as a bidding strategy and targeting—but you’ll select your ad format and bid within each of your sequence’s steps.

Family / Fun Games To Help Your Child Develop (pearsbaby) by Voltz09: 2:19pm On Oct 23, 2019
Age-appropriate activities are a great way for parents to help their children grow, and an even better way to share some very special time together. They are a way of teaching your children basic skills and exercising their brains, even while they’re very young. Here are a few exercises for you to try with your children when you think they’re ready.

0 – 6 Months:
Tummy Time, is one of the oldest, and best exercises for toddlers because it’s so simple. Lay out some brightly coloured toys for your baby on the floor, in an area where you can watch them carefully, and let them squirm around and explore the world. Squat over them, hold toys above them, roll them from side to side, and above all else, have lots of fun!

Footsies, is another great game that stimulates your babies under developed motor skills. With your baby on its back, put brightly coloured socks or booties on their feet and then pinch one of their toes to grab their attention. When they become wrapped up in those colourful toes leave them to play, and watch as they exercise their back, arms, legs and core.

Religion / Overcoming Fear With Bible Reference by Voltz09: 10:30am On Oct 22, 2019
How to overcome fear

1. BE SURE THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD

This means that we must turn from all sin and decide not to do it again. We call this repentance. We should confess our sins to God. My daughter, Maria, was born again after she read a little book on the subject. She went into her bedroom and got on her knees, turned from her sins and asked Jesus Christ into her life.

2. SEEK THE WATER BAPTISM AND WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE GIFT OF TONGUES

If you have never undergone any form of water baptism, it is imperative that you undergo. Jesus Christ told His disciples, including those who had already received the Holy Spirit (John 20:22), to wait in Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father.

3. REPENT AND CONFESS THE SIN OF FEAR AND ANY OTHER SIN IN OUR LIVES

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Clearly God has not given us that spirit of fear, but rather of power and of His love and of a sound mind.

4. REMIND GOD OF WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU IN THE PAST

As we walk with God, we find that we have a testimony of God’s goodness in our lives. When David was speaking to Saul, telling Saul that he could defeat the Philistines, he was reminding himself of what the Lord had done for him in the past.

MEDITATING ON THE WORD

God has promised to keep us in perfect peace if our mind is stayed on Him.

“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3)

By regular mediation and reading of the Word of God we can grow stronger spiritually each day and are thus able to use the Word of God to defeat the enemy.

THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING

Sometimes we are called by the Lord to pray and fast. As we do so, He reveals blockagesand blind spots in our lives and we become ready for deliverance. At that point of time, through prayer on our own or with others, we will find that fear will flee.

Religion / What Is Lust And How To Overcome It by Voltz09: 2:41pm On Sep 13, 2019
Overcoming Lust is easy if you look up to Jesus and obey whatever instructions he tells you. Lust (also called sexual desire, sexual interest, or sexual attraction) is the motivational component of human sexuality.

Although people can feel and express a variety of sexual responses within their interpersonal relationships. Lust appears to play an especially important role, in the attraction process and in the early stages of romantic relationships, particularly as people fall in love. Therefore, We presume the experience of lust to be distinct from other sexual responses, including sexual arousal.


Consequences of Lust

Mind Slavery
Evil Character
Future marriage Corruption
Isolation and Emptiness
He rejects the Lord

Mind Slavery

The Christian sex addict calls Jesus ‘Lord’ with his mouth, but then like Peter denies Him and turns to the godess of lust. Sin takes a strong foothold in his heart as he lives trying to have both God’s love and lust’s “comfort”. But, “God is not mocked” and “by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.” Like a crack addict, the sex user is ruled by his compulsions to act out even though he hates what he’s doing.

Evil Character


Instead of being the man of courage and integrity God has made and called him to be, he becomes “Weakheart”, a “man without a chest.” He loses his moral authority and the courage to do what’s right. Instead of being a fighter he becomes a passive weakling who hides from the challenges of life. He makes compromises he would never have dreamed of taking before in financial and other areas.

Business / Gas Development In Nigeria - Nestoil News by Voltz09: 2:11pm On Sep 02, 2019
For the country to meet the power requirement of Nigerians, government must court
investors with deep pockets.

Across Nigerian cities are tales of rolling black outs. A huge irony. Nigeria’s abundant gas potential has not rubbed off positively on the country’s power sector. The Niger Delta is a gas province with just little drops of oil. Unfortunately, much of that gas is flared. Getting gas to power plants would require huge financial commitments by investors.

“We must monetise the nation’s gas by putting it into value that can enhance the economy.”

For the country to meet the power requirement of Nigerians, government must court the relationship of investors with deep pockets. The investors must also be guaranteed good returns on their investments and a stable policy that would also guarantee an enabling operational environment for them.

Business / The Curious Case Of Rising Oil Fortune - Nestoil News by Voltz09: 12:15pm On Aug 23, 2019
The international oil benchmark, Brent Crude, fell from a peak of $115 per barrel in June 2014 to as low as $27 in January 2016.

The recovery in the oil and gas industry gained momentum last year as global oil companies: Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil and Chevron, reported stronger-than-forecast earnings. But years preceding that, the global economy faced one of the largest oil price declines in modern history with price per barrel falling as low as $27 in January 2016.


“In analysis of financial results of some of the world’s top oil companies showed that 2018 was a great year as they generated more cash. Reenact- ing 2018, 2019 looks even more promising for oil firms.”

The slump in the price of oil had far-reaching impact on the global oil industry as most firms slashed costs and put projects to the sword after reporting huge declines in profits, and even losses. By Q2 of 2016, ExxonMobil Corporation and Royal Dutch Shell Plc, reported their lowest quarterly profits since 1999 and 2005 respectively; signaling a rise as the industry turned the corner on the back of the rally in crude prices.

Investment / Vandalism Makes Alternative Evacuation Indispensable by Voltz09: 9:44am On Aug 21, 2019
In the last 45 years, oil producing companies have used the 200km-long Trans Forcados Pipeline in transporting crude oil to the Forcados Oil Terminal. However, frequent shut downs due to vandalism and oil theft as well as technical challenges on the TFP have made a number of producers to be unable to meet export targets, as some of the crude are even stolen. Alternative Evacuation System is the latest proprietary way to address the huge challenge. Ifeanyi Ezuka, the Chief Technical Officer, Neconde Energy Limited, a subsidiary of Nestoil Group, in this interview with the Head, Energy & Solid Minerals Desk, STANLEY OPARA, says the innovation is a welcome development.

No doubt, you encountered some challenges developing this. What was you experience as the team lead?
Really, it is a combination of technology, logistics and then resilience. Science and engineering are very basic across board. So, we were basically engineers first of all (petroleum engineers) before we became marine engineers . We looked at the fundamentals of what is required to be able to carry this out rather than putting it on a pipe; then put it on a barge and send it out.

How does the technology work?

So, we have the Forcados terminal, the bonny terminal, you have brass, then you have Escravos. So, these have major trunk lines that go to those terminals that carry crude from the inland and then go to those terminals. The challenge is that the pipelines that carry all these crude sometimes 200,000 barrels, flow through that pipeline going to the terminal offshore. Those pipelines are target for social issues.

Are these facilities developed by Nestoil Group?

Yes. In the Nestoil Group
, we have companies that fabricate these vessels; we have companies that did engineering, and so through our subsisting company called Impac engineering (EWT). , we did engineering of the systems from scratch. We did the detailed engineering and then handed it over to our fabrication company, Energy Works Technology (EWT).

So, EWT fabricated the systems and then we transported everything to the field based with national integration capability. We could install and integrate. We got one equipment – the crude oil dehydrators from the international markets that we bought from the United States and Nestoil installed and integrated the dish. Our team again, the engineering team went through commissioning those facilities.

Business / Collaboration Will Grow Local Oil Firms Into Regional Powerhouses by Voltz09: 12:08pm On Aug 20, 2019
Nestoil Limited has proffered ways to transform local oil companies in the country into regional powerhouses capable of developing the economies of the West African region to the whole of Africa. Group Managing Director, Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi said collaboration among the oil companies will open them up to a lot of opportunities springing up across the new frontiers in the industry.

He disclosed this at the West African International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (WAIPEC), where he was a member of the panel to discuss how Indigenous contractors can be transformed into regional powerhouses.

He said there is a huge opportunity inherent in the West African market yet to be tapped as if there was no market there would be no opportunity, but the availability of market is why transformation is being touted.

Nestoil  Limited is the flagship company of the Obijackson Group, one of the fastest growing conglomerates in Sub-Saharan Africa, with vast investments in Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Pressure Vessel Fabrication, Power Generation, Dredging and Marine Logistics, Aviation, Telecommunications, Real Estate,Civil and Infrastructural Construction.

Business / 7 Tips On How To Make Social Media Work For Your Business by Voltz09: 3:22pm On Aug 14, 2019
1. Every brand or individual who decides to use the social media platform as a tool for either personal branding or brand management must have a good strategy on how they intend to play on that space. i.e. what they intend to achieve and how they intend to go about it.

2. Having clear & engaging content would provide brand awareness & daily consumer interaction with your brand. Find content that resonates with your target group. For instance; if your TG is young people, research & discover what most young people are doing online, provide content they would be interested in (Music, football, videos, games, etc.)

3. Social media is a two way communication. If your audience/ consumers take out time to visit your social media page and interact with your content either by commenting, liking or sharing, please respond to them. No matter how flimsy or irrelevant their suggestions may be, the least you can say is “Thank you for your comment”. You would be amazed how much trust you would gain from your audience.

4. Always ask your audience/ consumers for feedback on your products. This would help the brand position itself in the right direction. Social media gives you the opportunity to reach as many people as possible, through one medium, all at the same time!

5.If your brand has a “serious tone of voice” offline and you decide to get on social media, find a “social media tone of voice” to increase your online presence & engagement.

6. On social media, sometimes images speak louder than words! Use images that are sharp, clear and attractive to the user. Your brand logo must always accompany your images as well! Images would serve as an advertising vehicle for your brand.

7. No matter what you do, be sincere. Sincerity equals believability and credibility for your brand.
Investment / Nigeria’s Energy Focus Must Change From Crude Oil To Gas – Dr Chukwueloka Umeh by Voltz09: 11:16am On Jul 19, 2019
According to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Nigeria has the world’s 9th largest natural gas reserves (192 TCF of gas reserves). As at 2018, Nigeria exported over 1tcf of gas as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to several countries. However domestically, we produce less than 4,000MW of power for over 180million people.

Think about this – imagine every Nigerian holding a 20W light bulb, that’s how much power we generate in Nigeria. In comparison, South Africa generates 42,000MW of power for a population of 57 million. We have the capacity to produce over 2 million Metric Tonnes of fertilizer (primarily urea) per year but we still import fertilizer. The Federal Government’s initiative to rejuvenate the agriculture sector is definitely the right thing to do for our economy, but fertilizer must be readily available to support the industry. Why do we import fertilizer when we have so much gas?

I could go on and on with these statistics, but you can see where I’m going with this so I won’t belabor the point. I will leave you with this mental image: imagine a man that lives with his family on the banks of a river that has fresh, clean water. Rather than collect and use this water directly from the river, he treks over 20km each day to buy bottled water from a company that collects the same water, bottles it and sells to him at a profit. This is the tragedy on Nigeria and it should make us all very sad.

Several indigenous companies like Nestoil were born and grown by the opportunities created by the local and international oil majors – NNPC and its subsidiaries – NGC, NAPIMS, Shell, Mobil, Agip, NDPHC. Nestoil’s main focus is the Engineering Procurement Construction and Commissioning of oil and gas pipelines and flowstations, essentially, infrastructure that supports upstream companies to produce and transport oil and natural gas, as well as and downstream companies to store and move their product. In our 28 years of doing business, we have built over 300km of pipelines of various sizes through the harshest terrain, ranging from dry land to seasonal swamp, to pure swamps, as well as some of the toughest and most volatile and hostile communities in Nigeria. I would be remiss if I do not use this opportunity to say a big thank you to those companies that gave us the opportunity to serve you. The over 2,000 direct staff and over 50,000 indirect staff we employ thank you. We are very grateful for the past opportunities given to us, and look forward to future opportunities that we can get.
