Tips and Tricks: Mobile Ad Serving in DFA
June 27th, 2011 | Published in Google DoubleClick
Considering running a mobile campaign? As long as the publishers on your media plan are able to dynamically serve mobile ad tags to users who are accessing the sites on a mobile device, you can traffic your mobile placements through DFA. Mobile trafficking in DFA is very similar to standard image trafficking with a couple key differences.
If your publishers have questions about DFA Mobile tags, how they work and how to implement, please direct them to our Partner Support Site (no DFA sign-in required).
1. Mobile Placements: Create mobile placements by selecting Mobile in the Placement Properties tab.Key Difference #1: Mobile placements don't have media dimensions. Placements include all sizes in a single placement/creative delivery.
2. Mobile Creatives: Upload your mobile image files by clicking Add Creative > Mobile. There should be multiple sized assets for each DFA mobile creative based on MMA (Mobile Marketing Association) standard sizes. DFA will detect the best creative size to match the device when the tags are served. For each creative message, all mobile image files are uploaded into a single DFA mobile creative. When that single creative set is selected, the optimal creative dimension for the individual mobile device will be displayed.
Note: While it's possible to traffic only one image file size per creative, we strongly recommend using all four MMA standard sizes per placement as a best practice. This will ensure that there are appropriate sizes for the most common mobile devices.
Key Difference #2: Multiple-sized assets for each creative.
3. Mobile Ads: Next, create a mobile ad by clicking Create Ad > Mobile Ad on the Ads tab. Only mobile creatives can be associated with mobile ads, and only mobile ads can be assigned to mobile placements.
You can assign multiple creative messages (each with different-sized assets) to rotate to the same ad slot with a random creative rotation. For mobile ads, you can target to countries and mobile platforms.
4. Mobile Tags: To download mobile ad tags in DFA, you will need to download them separately from standard in-page tags. All mobile placements will display the same 0x0 size. On the Tags tab, under Placement Type, select Mobile.
5. Mobile Reporting: Similar to the Single Advertiser query, the Mobile query in ReportCentral provides delivery results for one or more campaigns from a single advertiser. In addition, the Mobile query includes delivery information based on mobile carrier, country, mobile platform, and size profiles.
We hope you found these tips helpful but if you have further questions about DFA's mobile capabilities, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or contact your account manager. You can also find more details within the Mobile section of the DFA Help Center (DFA sign-in required).

If any more proof were needed of the rise of single-person power, it could only be the introduction of the best idea since sliced bread - the half-loaf, created by Hovis for single people.
We have become so concerned about the crisis of the traditional family unit that we have paid less attention to a quieter but no less profound revolution in our culture: its singlisation.
The rise of the single person is one of the most powerful forces shaping our society. Manufacturers and retailers are changing goods and services to suit single people. Estimates of our housing needs and so the amount of rural land we will need for homes is vitally affected by the rising number of single-person households.
More profoundly even than that, the idea that single people of all ages are the essential units of our society, rather than families, challenges many of our central assumptions about what holds society together.
The rise of the single person is inseparable from the crisis of the traditional family. Twenty or 30 years ago the two-plus-two family was assumed to be the norm. Young people might be single for a limited period while they "experimented" with life, before they started courting and settled down. But apart from that, singleness was an oddity thrust upon people by tragedy as widows and widowers, or the calamity of divorce.
Not so these days. More and more people are living alone out of choice. According to a report published today by Mintel, the market research group, the number of people living alone will increase by 17 per cent by 2,000, by which time eight million households will consist of people living by themselves. The group with the highest growth will be affluent men and women under 35 who have never married, the kind of people who are the heroes of This Life, the BBC2 soap opera about young lawyers, which started this week.
But it is not just young singles who are creating the new culture. Older people are living longer. Women have a life expectancy of 78.5 years compared with 73 some 30 years ago. An official population trends report yesterday suggested that four in 10 marriages will end in divorce: more people are having spells of being single in middle-age. Being single is something that can now happen to people several times in their life at different ages.
Yet single people are not just the aspirational heart of our society. There are also worries that a society of atomised individuals will fragment. Single people are indeed blamed for many of society's ills: single young men commit a high proportion of crimes; single parents are blamed by the right for failing children; the growing number of frail elderly people living alone is one of the greatest burdens upon the welfare state; and in the wake of the Dunblane killings the sad loner has become an ever more threatening image.
What is clear is that single culture is now deeply embedded in a way that it wasn't even 15 years ago.
Half the single people interviewed by Mintel describe themselves as "happy". Six out of 10 people living alone enjoy the increased freedom it brings and more than half think it gives them a sense of achievement. On the drawbacks, only a third find it expensive and three in 10 say it is sometimes lonely.
As consumers they are pampered, especially the young. Manufacturers are rushing to woo them. Nearly two thirds of single women and 54 per cent of single men are in the affluent ABC1 economic groups. Three-quarters of single men and two-thirds of women work full time.
The most graphic example of their spending power is the rise of the ready- cooked meal. Britons spend more than pounds 1m every day on chilled foods or meals for one. Industry analysts expect this to rise by 10 per cent this year.
Sainsbury's says that its sales to singles had gone up so dramatically that it has introduced 200 ready meal lines in the past year. Angela Hughes, consumer research manager for Mintel, explains: "Single portions have got more popular. The half-loaf by Hovis is a great innovation. Five years ago smaller dishwashers and smaller fridges would have been a rarity but now they are quite common."
Singles also lie behind the growth of the leisure economy, now one of the country's largest employers. Singles have on average eight hours more leisure time a week than their married counterparts, and they use it. While they tend to read more, they also go out more.
This in part explains the resurgence of the cinema. In the past 10 years cinema audiences have doubled from around 50 million to 120 million a year, and young people are among the most avid cinema-goers, with 72 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds going at least once every three months.
Young singles are also more demanding consumers. They are the main force behind the emergence of more environmentally friendly products: they are more likely to eat organic foods, fresh fruit and wholemeal bread when they are not gobbling ready meals.
Yet one of the most dramatic changes the rise of the singles will bring will be on the future of housing policy. The Government has increased its estimate for the number of new homes needed in England over the next 15 years by almost a million households - which represents a conurbation as large as greater Birmingham.
In the past five years the Department of the Environment's projections for the increase in the number of households by the year 2011 have been increased from 15 per cent to 18.5 per cent. The largest increase is among single-person households.
If these latest estimates are correct, then controversies over where to build new homes in the next century will be fierce. Single young people may be environmentally aware but the rise of single culture may pose huge environmental costs.
That only goes to prove how central single culture will be to our politics in future. Singledom is both something we aspire to and the source of many of our ills.
The executive
Heath Bartmanis, 28, works for a recruitment agency. He recently bought a house.
I had come out of a relationship I wasn't happy in and was happy to live on my own. You set your own rules. It sounds selfish but you don't have to answer to anyone.
I've become more sociable since I was single. I go out more. I go to the cinema, the theatre. I'm not sporty. I go out with a group of friends and we've a pact that we'll stay single until the autumn.
About 90 per cent my single friends would say they are better off out of relationships. We're not unattractive, it's that we choose to be on our own. I've found it cheaper, too. You're only paying for one, you don't have to buy any presents.
I'm open-minded about the future. I've spent the past six or seven years in relationships and I'd like to spend some time on my own. Your principles and values tend to fall by the wayside over a number of years of going out with someone. I would like some time to find myself.
The television man
Theo Short, a 27-year-old studio manager with BBC World Service. He bought a home in Kingston-on-Thames last year.
A few decades ago I would have stayed at home until I got married.
Being single does give me a sense of achievement. I can make things the way I want them. Financially it's not as easy. It costs more to live alone - there's no one to share the bills.
All that stuff about fragmenting society - I travel around a lot and I think your community isn't necessarily the people on your doorstep.
The doctor
Dr Jenny Connor, 37, is a consultant radiologist in Durham. She has lived alone for 12 years.
I would never have ended up doing half the things I wanted to do if I'd settled down ages ago. I was too busy thoroughly enjoying myself.
I live in this huge, wonderful farmhouse, which I bought myself. If I'd been with someone, then they might have dissuaded me.
I have a lot of single friends and they tend to be independently minded women. I think men are terrified of independent, successful, financially secure women.

|Preview: Celtics-Kings
|03.26.10 at 11:23 am ET
John Schumann of NBA.com recently broke down the numbers and made an interesting observation about the Celtics that has generated much discussion around the Internet. Schumann's main finding is that the Celtics are a poor second-half team, particularly in the third quarter. This was most clearly seen against Utah earlier this week when the Jazz rallied from a five-point halftime deficit and turned a Celtics lead into a blowout loss.
There are many conclusions one can draw from that bit of information, but what it really seems to boil down to is that the Celtics have done a poor job of executing after halftime. Whether it's age, focus or some other factor, Schumann's analysis helps bring this whole nebulous conversation about their struggles into sharper focus.
As the Celtics continue through the regular season pay close attention to their play after halftime during their final 11 games. That might help tell us if they are actually becoming a contender again.

Points Per Game: 100.4

|Fast Break: Celtics vs. Kings
|02.17.10 at 12:40 am ET
With trade rumors swirling around a possible acquisition of Nate Robinson, the Celtics found themselves locked in an offensive struggle against one of the fastest-paced teams in the league. That might have been OK to play the Sacramento Kings style earlier in the season, but the Celtics can't afford to mess around with sub-.500 teams anymore.
Enter the bench. The very same bench that Danny Ainge seems determined to try to tweak between now and the trade deadline Thursday.
Playing one of their most inspired quarters, the second unit took an 11-point lead behind the hot shooting of Eddie House and the interior defense of Rasheed Wallace and Glen Davis. The Celtics rode that effort, and survived a shaky fourth quarter, en route to a 95-92 win over the Kings Tuesday night.
Wallace, Davis, House and Marquis Daniels all played major roles in the victory and helped the Celtics overcome a lackluster performance from the starting five. It's only one game, of course, but if they had played that well for the majority of the season (and been healthy enough to try) Ainge wouldn't be attempting to perform a makeover at the deadline.
Turning Point: Despite the bench's efforts, the Celtics still had to work for it. Paul Pierce, who had a sub-par shooting game otherwise, drilled a 3-pointer with 1:38 remaining that put the Celtics ahead, 89-87. The Kings helped out mightily by missing four free throws down the stretch.
Player of the Game: Rasheed Wallace. The backup big man has maintained throughout the season that he, and the Celtics, will get things right when it counts. Tuesday night was a step in the right direction. Wallace finished with 17 points, five rebounds and three blocks, but it was his play down low that was so effective. Wallace dominated on the block in the first half and was also an active presence defensively. He shifted back outside in the second half, but he served a reminder that once again he is the Celtics best post-up player. When he wants to be.
* The starters were shredded defensively in the first quarter as the Kings shot 55 percent and made 5-of-8 from 3-point range. A balanced scoring effort and a lack of turnovers helped the Celtics match the Kings, 30-30.
* Ray Allen and Paul Pierce both went 5-for-15. Rajon Rondo also struggled, going 1-for-6.
* Kevin Garnett had nine rebounds through the first three quarters and almost recorded his first double-digit rebounding game since Dec. 18 against the Sixers, but he couldn't get over the hump.
* Eddie House made four 3-pointers, something he hasn't been able to do since a Dec. 30 blowout loss to the Suns.
* Glen Davis had five offensive rebounds in just 17 minutes of action.
|Halftime wrap: Celtics vs. Kings
|02.16.10 at 11:11 pm ET
After a sloppy first quarter defensively, the Celtics rode their bench to a 57-52 halftime lead over the Kings. Led by Rasheed Wallace's 10 points, and inspired defensive play, the Celtics took control midway through the quarter and led by as many as 11 points.
Wallace was hardly the only bench contributor. Eddie House knocked down three 3-pointers, Glen Davis had six points and six rebounds and Marquis Daniels did his usual all-around number with seven points, three rebounds and a steal.
The second unit's production was critical because Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo shot a combined 4-for-15. Despite that, there were other positive signs for the Celtics offensively. They only turned the ball over five times and made half of their 12 3-point attempts.
|Preview: Celtics vs. Kings
|at 10:12 am ET
Taking a much-needed break from the trade deadline rumors the Celtics return to the court Tuesday night to play the Kings… who happen to employ one of the few names actually linked to a Ray Allen trade; Kevin Martin. Obviously all eyes will be on the two shooting guards this evening, if for no other reason than idle curiosity.
Even if Danny Ainge was somehow able to swing major trade (which doesn't seem likely) the Celtics have problems that only they can fix. They don't rebound very well. They turn the ball over too much and they don't shoot as well from 3-point range as they have in the past.
All those things are symptoms of other things. Their defense has allowed too much dribble penetration, which has led to defensive breakdowns and clear alleys for opponents to hit the glass. The offense has gone stagnant too often, leading to bad passes and forced shots.
These have in turn been referred to as "issues" and "agendas," which is way more exciting and intriguing then simply noting that they are not playing well. The question, then, for the Celtics in the final 32 games is: Are their breakdowns mental or are they physical? They continue to insist that they are mental and that they can fix their problems. Now they have to prove it.
CELTICS (32-18, 5-5 last 10)

|Sounds of the game… Celtics 119, Kings 100
|01.29.09 at 9:57 am ET
If Eddie House was trying to make a case for being included in the three-point shooting contest, it's hard to imagine making a better one than he has in his last four games.
He is 22-for-32 in his last four games beyond the arc, including an 8-for-9 exhibition Wednesday night at the hands of the helpless Sacramento Kings, leading the Celtics to a 119-100 victory, their ninth straight.
House was hitting them from all angles and all places. He lives in Scottsdale and is going to be in the Phoenix area anyway, and would be a natural for the annual event at All-Star Weekend.
As far as trying to petition the league on such matters, head coach Doc Rivers told Dennis and Callahan this morning that, "the league is like the gestapo about it. We're not sure who we can lobby about it."
Well, let us help. Yes, the Celtics bench was a huge part of the proceedings, scoring a season-best 61 points. Yes, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo were red hot early, even though the Kings shot out to an early 23-13 lead in the first quarter.
But the story was the House on Fire.
Eddie House said he was just feeling it.
House said it would be great if he make the three-point contest at All-Star Weekend.
House said the big men running the court is making his life easier.
Kevin Garnett campaigned for House to make Phoenix.
Doc Rivers would love to see House make the three-party.

Humanism and Behaviorism: Dialogue and Growth explores issues in humanistic and behavioristic approaches to personality change. It seeks to: demonstrate the value of a dialogue between humanism and behaviorism; clarify controversies between the two approaches; evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each approach; and show the potential of syntheses between parts of each approach to develop new and useful integrations.
This book is comprised of 20 chapters and begins with an overview of the state of humanism and behaviorism and the controversies that have divided them, along with the possible frameworks for combining the two. The next section focuses on the person, techniques of therapy, and therapist control. Behavior therapy as a humanitarian enterprise is considered. Subsequent chapters assess the effectiveness of humanistic and behavioristic approaches to personality change and the compatibilities between them. The theory of affective behaviorism and its application to effectively teach children with behavior problems to develop self-control is described. Self and personality are also discussed from humanistic and behavioristic viewpoints. Finally, some possible directions for the future of humanism and behaviorism are suggested.
This monograph should be useful to undergraduate and graduate students in clinical and personality psychology; to those who intend to do research in and/or practice psychotherapy; and to academicians and professionals in psychology, philosophy, psychiatry, social work, and counseling.

GOP Leaves Talks On Raising Federal Debt Ceiling
The Obama administration has set a hard deadline of Aug. 2 for Congress to come up with a deal on raising the debt ceiling, and pass it into law. But the parties have hit a stalemate on the issue of taxes.
RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
STEVE INSKEEP, Host:
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
The debate over raising the federal debt ceiling has become, in effect, a debate about everything. Republicans say they want spending cuts as part of the deal. If there's no deal, the Obama administration says the U.S. risks default. If there is a deal, it could affect any federal program and tax. Actually, that last point is a matter of dispute. Republican negotiators walked out of talks, refusing to consider any revenue increases.
NPR's Andrea Seabrook reports on what happens now.
ANDREA SEABROOK: The negotiations are secretive, weighty and extraordinarily respectful. That's how just about everyone inside the room describes it. And for weeks, all eyes in Washington have been on those few lawmakers in the talks. Predictions for what could happen if they don't come up with a deal range from market disappointment to all-out economic collapse.
From the beginning of this week, it was clear that the group had reached an important moment.
ERIC CANTOR: Its crunch time in those meetings.
SEABROOK: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor spoke to reporters on Tuesday.
CANTOR: When it gets tough, it's up to the parties involved to focus on making the case. And I'm going to continue to go in there and make the case that House Republicans want.
SEABROOK: Republicans' case, said Cantor, is that trillions in cuts must be made, without a penny of tax increases on any person or business. On Wednesday, Cantor still sounded engaged in the negotiations.
CANTOR: I continue to remain optimistic that we can get some real savings. And as the speaker has laid out, we need trillions of dollars of savings.
SEABROOK: But by yesterday morning, Cantor decided he'd done all he could. He called Vice President Biden, the leader of the talks, and then announced he was done.
House Speaker John Boehner spoke to reporters.
JOHN BOEHNER: I understand his frustration. I understand why he did what he did. But I think those talks could continue, if they're willing to take those tax hikes off the table.
SEABROOK: Boehner did not outline how the talks could continue without any Republicans at the table, but it became clear, later yesterday, that he himself may now get involved.
The other Republican inside the talks, Senator John Kyl of Arizona, quickly followed Cantor in leaving the negotiations. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said he's disappointed with the Republicans.
HARRY REID: We can't give up. These issues that we're dealing with are far too serious. Democrats are not going to give up on cutting our deficit and creating jobs. We're not going to give up on the American people. And that appears to me, what's happened with these people walking out on these discussions.
SEABROOK: We have to act like adults here, said Reid. And he pointed out that some of the country's most important budget makers were putting enormous time and energy into a serious, bipartisan solution.
REID: They have the vice president of the United States, secretary of the Treasury, head of the Office of Management and Budget coming up here virtually every day - coming up here. To have first leader Cantor and then Senator Kyl just drop out of the discussions, that is untoward. I'm terribly disappointed.
SEABROOK: Later yesterday evening, Vice President Biden released a statement, saying the goal of the talks was always to find the common ground, and identify the stickiest points, and then hand over the talks to the government's top brass - President Obama, Senate leader Reid, then House speaker John Boehner.
But where they go from here is just as cloudy. House Republicans repeat with unwavering certainty that they will not pass a bill that increases taxes, or even ends tax breaks for specific industries or businesses.
There is a chance that moderates of both parties could join together and pass a compromise bill in the House, but that would require top Republicans to allow that compromise to come to the floor. Asked if he would do that, Boehner said yesterday...
BOEHNER: If ands and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas.
SEABROOK: A somewhat inscrutable answer, and that appears to be the point.

fairly new to snowboarding
Ive done skiing a few times and tried snowboard once but wasnt taught well. now that i live closer to a ski hill im going to try it again. Ive been racing motocross for about 18 years now so im sure some of the balance and concepts may be similar. I found this boots binding board combo online and was wondering y'alls opinion. Blow Out Camp Seven Heritage RCR and Rome Men's Snowboard Package
Right on man, its great that you've started up snowboarding.
The set up that you found is really basic and isn't very good quality, but if you're on a super tight budget, it should suffice. I would recommend hitting up your local shop and trying out a few different things to make sure you'll be comfortable in them. If you have a little extra cash, you might want to get a better board like Burton, K2, or Gnu. Also, you can get gear for a lot less during the off-season.
Looks like a pretty solid package to me. Quality looks decent and it will definitely get you through your first season or two.
Don't forget about looking on CL. You can get some good gear there.
I know I have sold some of my kids good gear on there and made someone elses day :eusa_clap:
fairly new to snowboarding
ok so I bought a used option 153 cm from my buddy for 40 bucks (im like 5ft 8.5 inches) and I have size 12 solomon boots i got from dicks sporting goods(50% off sale) for 75 bucks! here's the thing...my feet hang off the edge quite a bit. Do I just gotta live with it? We adjusted them so theyre offset stance a little but i havent tried it yet.

Mayhem # 2836381
About MeMy name is John Newman, a 30 year old entertainer from Detroit, Michigan now residing in Orlando, MI. my goals are to be a successful model as well as activist. What I want from this site is exposure of my silent expressions. They say pictures are worth 1000 words, so I want mine to be worth 1001. I take passionate and daring pictures that demonstrate how I am on an everyday basis. Determined, ready to take risks, and fresh. Simply Timeless. My style is definitely modern vintage. I guess I would say my style would be something like combat boots with ripped jeans with a 3 button vest, suspenders worn down with a tie matching the boots. Very color coordinated but only when I have to be because I wear white all day everyday. If you'd like to reach me you can contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or you can contact me via facebook (John Newman).

|[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-3186) DocValues type should be recored in FNX file to early fail if user specifies incompatible type
|Thu, 09 Jun 2011 15:06:59 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3186?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13046602#comment-13046602 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3186: -------------------------------------------- I think there are a few separate questions here... Today, on doc values branch, if you mix up your doc values, ie a field "foo" is at first indexed as a FLOAT_32 and then later you change your mind and later docs are index field "foo" as BYTES_FIXED_STRAIGHT, then this is bad news right now because everything will index fine, you can close your IW, etc., but at some later time merges will hit unrecoverable exceptions. You'll have no choice but to fully rebuild the index, which is rather awful. However, this is true even for cases you would expect to work, eg say "foo" was BYTES_FIXED_STRAIGHT but then later you decided you will want to sort on this field and so you use BYTES_FIXED_SORTED. (Simon: this also results in exception I think...?). Ideally we should do the right thing here and "upgrade" the BYTES_FIXED_STRAIGHT to BYTES_FIXED_SORTED (I think) -- Simon is there an issue open for this? So, I think the first question here is: which cases should be merged "properly" and which should be considered "an error"? Probably we have to work out the full matrix... Then the second question is, for the "error" cases (if any!), can/should we detect this up front, as you're indexing? Then third question is, if we want to detect up front, do we do that w/ fnx file or do we do that on init of IW (= no index change). > DocValues type should be recored in FNX file to early fail if user specifies incompatible type > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3186 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3186 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core/index > Affects Versions: 4.0 > Reporter: Simon Willnauer > Assignee: Simon Willnauer > Fix For: 4.0 > > > Currently segment merger fails if the docvalues type is not compatible across segments. We already catch this problem if somebody changes the values type for a field within one segment but not across segments. in order to do that we should record the type in the fnx fiel alone with the field numbers. > I marked this 4.0 since it should not block the landing on trunk -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Research conducted by University of Ulster financial services researcher Mark Durkin into the uptake of Internet-based banking has found that banks are embracing the innovation in order not to be put at a competitive disadvantage - rather than for any sustainable competitive advantage Internet banking might provide in its own right.
The research study conducted with banks in Ireland, Sweden, the UK and the United States, found that managing customer relationships vai the internet is the greatest challenge for banks, and re-emphasised the view that a balanced delivery channel mix is what is required, rather than a wholesale migration towards Internet banking.
Banks throughout Europe had anticipated significant cost savings through such a migration , but costs have actually risen - because customers choose to adopt all available delivery platforms rather than choosing the Internet over others.

British officials are trying to trace the owner of a trove of gold coins worth a "life-changing" amount of money found stashed inside a piano.
A coroner investigating the find on Thursday urged anyone with information to come forward.
When the piano's owners took it to be tuned last year in Shropshire, central England, it was found to contain a hoard of gold sovereigns minted between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries.
Investigators have determined that the piano was built in London in 1906 and sold to a pair of piano teachers in Saffron Walden, eastern England. They are seeking information on its ownership before 1983.

From Bible Encyclopedia
ā´sa (אסא, 'āṣā', "healer" or "physician"; Ἀσά, Asá):
(1) The third king of Judah, the third one after the separation of Judah and Israel. He was the son of Abijah and grandson of Rehoboam. Maacah, his mother, or rather grandmother, was daughter of Abishalom (Absalom) (1 Kings 15:1). He was zealous in maintaining the true worship of God, and in rooting all idolatry, with its accompanying immoralities, out of the land (1 Kings 15; 8-14). The Lord gave him and his land rest and prosperity. It is recorded of him, however, that in his old age, when afflicted, he "sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians" (compare Jeremiah 17:5). He died in the forty-first year of his reign, greatly honored by his people (2 Chronicles 16:1-13), and was succeeded by his son Jehoshaphat. The first ten years of his reign were prosperous and peaceful (2 Chronicles 14:1). He introduced many reforms, such as putting away the sodomites or male prostitutes, removing idols from holy places, breaking down altars, pillars and Asherim. He even deposed the "queen mother" because of her idolatrous practices, and of the image which she had made for Asherah (1 Kings 15:12; 2 Chronicles 14:3). Though the king himself, in the main, was a zealous reformer, his subjects did not always keep pace with him (1 Kings 15:17). With an army of 580,000 he repelled an attack of Zerah, the Ethiopian, and routed him completely at Mareshah in the lowlands of Judah (2 Chronicles 14:6). Directed and encouraged by Azariah the prophet, he carried on a great revival. Having restored the great altar of burnt offering in the temple, he assembled the people for a renewal of their covenant with Yahweh. On this occasion 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep were offered in sacrifice. For the next twenty years there was apparently great prosperity and peace throughout his kingdom, but in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Judah was attacked by Baasha, king of Israel, at all times hostile to Judah (1 Kings 15:32). Baasha continued to encroach and finally fortified Ramah as a frontier fortress. Asa, faint-hearted, instead of putting his entire trust in Yahweh, made an alliance with Ben-Hadad, of Damascus. The Syrian king, in consideration of a large sum of money and much treasure from the temple at Jerusalem, consented to attack the northern portion of Baasha's territory. It was at this favorable moment that Asa captured Ramah, and with the vast building material collected there by Baasha, he built Geba of Benjamin and Mizpah (1 Kings 15:16-22). This lack of faith in Yahweh was severely criticized by Hanani the prophet. Asa, instead of listening patiently to this prophet of God, was greatly offended and enraged and Hanani was put in prison (2 Chronicles 16:1-10). Three years later, Asa was attacked by gout or some disease of the feet. Here again he is accused of lack of faith, for "he sought not to Yahweh, but to the physicians" (2 Chronicles 16:12). Having ruled forty-one years, he died and was buried with great pomp in a tomb erected by himself in the city of David, i.e. Jerusalem. On the whole his reign was very successful, but it is sad to chronicle that as the years rolled on he became less and less faithful to Yahweh and His law.
(2) A son of Elkanah, a Levite, who dwelt in one of the villages of the Netophathites (1 Chronicles 9:16).

We''re proud to report another year of all-around strong performance. Our FY2015–16 annual revenue was USD 715.2 million, with operating profits of USD 126.7 million. Mind tree continues to grow significantly faster than the overall industry. We credit these achievements in large part to our strategic initiatives, such as focusing on key areas—digital solutions and managed services—in a select set of industries, bolstered by efforts to build a highly skilled workforce and a world-class leadership team.
Strengthening our digital solutions and managed services
Since our founding, Mind tree has concentrated on helping our clients grow their businesses through digital transformation. Today, digital solutions drive more than a third of our revenue. In FY2015–16, we enhanced this vision with an expert-led, integrated digital division organized around developing solutions and thought leadership in analytics, omnichannel solutions and personalization. To strengthen our lead in the digital space even further, we made three strategic acquisitions last year:
- UK-based Blue fin Solutions, a market-leading consultancy in SAP HANA
- US-based Relational Solutions, a specialized provider of supply chain optimization and trade promotions analytics for consumer goods and retail execution
- US-based Magnet 360, a Sales force Platinum consulting partner with strong expertise across the full suite of Sales force solutions
The combined capabilities of these new additions is helping to solidify our position as digital transformation leaders even further.
Our ability to help clients optimize efficiency while enhancing quality has also been a major growth driver. Our Atlas Managed Services framework, which includes a new offering around Lean IT, provides a rich set of intellectual properties, accelerators and solutions to unleash possibilities for continued operational transformations. And we do all this at scale.
Investing in our people
The foundation of our success has always been the high level of skill of our Mind tree Minds. They are our greatest strength and most valuable asset. To provide cultural and learning immersion for new Mind tree Minds, in 2015 we launched Mind tree Kalinga, a new state-of-the-art corporate learning and development centre in Bhubaneswar, Orissa, in India. Each year, this 20-acre center will train roughly 2,500 young engineers recruited from all over the world.
In addition, we continue to see great results from our Agile Center of Excellence and Delivery Center located in Gainesville, Florida, in the US. This center has grown to nearly 300 Mind tree Minds and is recognized as one of the leading hubs for Agile development consulting and execution.
Recognitions and awards
We earned many awards and accolades during FY2015–16, and we are proud of all of them. These three best reflect our core values:
- We won Best Corporate Governance in the technology sector for Asia from the Ethical Boardroom Corporation.
- Our CIO was given the Digital Transformation Czar award in the Digital Transformation category at the CIO 100 Awards organized by International Data Group.
- Mind tree earned a place in Forbes India''s inaugural Super 50 list based on consistent shareholder returns, sales growth and return of equity.
Giving back to the community
We celebrated our 16th anniversary in true Mind tree style— with multiple acts of kindness. The Mind tree Foundation organized several initiatives, including blood drives, donations of clothes and toys, and events dedicated to tree planting. All these initiatives were received with enthusiasm and active participation.
Moving forward
In January, we announced important leadership transitions. They are the result of a year-long succession planning process led by Apurva Purohit, Chairperson of the Nomination & Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors.
With the hard work and commitment of Mind tree Minds, along with the trust and goodwill of our clients, we have built a strong foundation to launch ourselves to 2020 and beyond.
This year, we renew our pledge to create shareholder value by making the right strategic and organizational decisions. Along with 17,000 Mind tree Minds, we thank you for your support and trust. We look forward to another year replete with new aspirations and the joy of achieving them.
Welcome to possible.

Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
Definition - What does Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) mean?
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is a protocol that works to provide protections for communication channels in a more fundamental Extensible Authorization Protocol (EAP) method. PEAP is a product of several top tech companies, and has been shipped with major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows XP.
Techopedia explains Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP)
Extensible Authentication Protocol is an authentication resource for wireless networks and point-to-point setups. As a general framework, this protocol is useful in many different variations. One of these is Extensible Authentication Protocol Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS), a protocol that is popular for local area networks.
PEAP provides a transport layer security structure where it is needed within EAP. It uses a public-key encryption certificate for this purpose. Server-side public-key certificates authenticate servers. The use of dedicated keys is part of an elaborate security authentication model for these kinds of network traffic setups. PEAP also involves subtypes for specific security protocols WPA and WPA2.
In general, the use of Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol helps to address security inadequacies in some types of authentication frameworks and prevents different kinds of hacking that may cause problems in 802.11 network traffic. While the methods of all this are fairly inscrutable to the lay audience, the details are important to security professionals who want to make sure that authentication happens in an effective and efficient way.

THERE are so many shows to see at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that it is
difficult to even begin to decide which is for you.
So we've gathered together some of the top acts at this year's festival to
find out a little bit about them, and what, why and where they are
performing this year.
Read on for a chat with Jim Smallman…
1) What's your show called, and what's it about?
It's called Let's Be Friends, and despite sounding like an awful romantic
comedy it's not.
It's all about me trying to make more actual real-life friends, hopefully
including someone in one of my audiences that will be my new best friend.
2) If your Edinburgh show – metaphorically speaking – was an Olympic event,
which one would it be and why?
If it fools people into coming to see a 34-year-old heavily tattooed idiot…
let's say Beach Volleyball.
Yes. Totally similar.
3) What's been the greatest moment of your last twelve months?
There's a story in my show about a guy called Tom that I met in a coffee shop.
He'd just been dumped by his girlfriend so I took him – a complete stranger –
for a drink and a chat to cheer him up.
Gave me a story for the show, briefly had him trending on Twitter to cheer him
up and made me realise that I'm sometimes (albeit rarely) quite a nice
person, rather than just a fool who swears at people for money.
4) Best and worst ever gigs?
Best gig ever depends on my mood, but I love doing metal festivals (such as
Download and Sonisphere) as they suit my personality and are always fun, but
I did a gig in Los Angeles once where I had jetlag and a migraine and
insulted the entire audience… and they loved it.
That's a favourite.
Worst gig ever was the time about 6 years ago that I was performing in front
of about 20 people in a massive room.
The audience were so quiet that at one point I begged them to heckle me to
make it in any way interesting, and someone replied with a genuine "you're
doing really well".
It was like your mum telling you that you're pretty.
5) What would be your absolute fantasy, dream outcome from this year's
I would obviously like global fame and fortune and better hair, but I'll
settle for making a load of new friends through my show and the crucial new
best friend.
I'll take him/her on holiday and everything. Play video games with them. Bake
them cakes.
I'm serious about this.
6) What's been keeping your mind active recently, other than comedy?
I'm trying to write a parody of Fifty Shades of Grey that is set in a
hairdressers that specialises in the older lady.
7) What are the best lessons you've learnt from going to Edinburgh?
I learned last year that if you're teetotal like me to not drink copious
amounts of a certain famous orange fizzy drink that Scots love.
I got kidney stones as the sugar crystallised within me.
I also learned that if I then try and host the famous Late and Live gig with
said kidney stones that I will pass out and need to go to the hospital.
8) Where, when and what inspires you – creatively – the most?
I drive everywhere, so I tend to put on loud music and pretend that I'm a
Then when I realise that dream will never become reality, I decide to knuckle
down and talk about things that wind me up to myself until they become
So most of my show was written in a Ford Fiesta on motorways.
Away from that, I like to tell the truth onstage so pretty much all I talk
about has happened to me at some point.
I'm lucky to have lived a patently ridiculous existence.
9) Fill in the blanks; If you like,____, ____, & ____ then you'll enjoy
coming to see my show!
If you like tattoos, star wars and talking to frightening strangers then
you'll enjoy coming to see my show!
