Meet Neal Mohan…Google”s $100 Million Man !!!!!
Google global vice president for display, Neal Mohan
HE’S not a screamer. He doesn’t like long meetings. He responds quickly to people. His name is Neal Mohan, and he’s the brains behind Google’s display advertising cash cow.
How did a man who started out working for $60,000 a year become a $100 million man?
Mohan worked for internet startups Accenture and NetGravity in the late 1990s after graduating from Stanford with qualifications in electrical engineering. In 2003 he returned to complete his MBA.
His big break came when NetGravity was acquired by DoubleClick, the company he would eventually take with him to Google to drive the world’s biggest online advertising engine.
Mohan brought with him a wealth of knowledge in online consumer behaviour and an innate curiosity. He devised a 500-page powerpoint presentation in 2005 that is still used today as a blueprint for ad work.
That powerpoint presentation alone tripled the value of DoubleClick from $1.1 billion to $3.1 billion, the amount Google paid to acquire the company.
Such was Mohan’s skill-set that Google ad exec Susan Wojcicki put a broom through her department to allow the DoubleClick team to move straight across.
It was a risky move because one of the men Wojcicki let go, Gokul Rajaram, now heads Facebook’s lucrative display advertising team.
But Mohan made good on his word and with hard work and the shrewd acquisition of tools, such as the display platform Invite Media, his team made $5 billion for Google in 2011.
It’s little wonder Google paid him $100 million in stock to keep him from joining Twitter. He’s proving every bit his worth.
So how does a man known by clients as “the quiet assassin” go about his work? Surely he’d slam his fists on tables and terrify his colleagues.
Not according to sources who say he’s “not a screamer”, doesn’t “waste time in meetings” and “listens” to what his clients want.
Oh, and perhaps most importantly, he “doesn’t bullshit”.
Are you taking notes?

Great Temples Of Tamilnadu….Chidambaram Nataraja Temple !!!
By some estimates Tamil Nadu has about 33,000 ancient temples, many of them over 600 to 800 years old. A majority of the great temples are dedicated to Lord Shiva and his fierce aspect of Bhairava, closely followed by temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu. There are also a number of temples dedicated to Lord Murugan and Lord Hanuman, besides a number of Amman temples. Yahoo! reader CHANDRASEKARAN A (Flickr) shares this wonderful collection of photographs.
Chidambaram Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Chidambaram is one of the five Pancha Bootha Sthalas, each representing one of the five natural elements. Chidambaram represents akasha (ether). The other four temples in this category are Thiruvanaikaval Jambukeswara (water) in Trichy, Kanchi Ekambareswara (earth) in Kanchipuram, Thiruvannamalai Arunachaleswara (fire) in Thiruvannamalai and Kalahasti Nathar (wind) in Kalahasti. The tandava represented in Chidambaram is Ananda tandava, the cosmic dance of Lord Nataraja (Shiva). Another important aspect in Chidambaram is of the Five Sabhas. Chidambaram represents Por Sabai or Ponnambalam. The other Sabhas are at Thiruvalangadu (Rathina Sabai – ruby), Madurai (Velliambalam – silver), Tirunelveli (Thamira Sabai – copper), Kutralam (Chitra Sabai – painting). All the main Saivite Nayanars — namely Thirugnana Sambandhar, Appar, Sundarar and Manicka Vasakar — visited this holy shrine and it is said that they entered this temple from all the four cardinal directions, i.e. through the South, West, North and East Gopurams, denoting the four different margas or pathways. The gold-plated gopuram is the one of the main attractions of this temple. Chidambaram is supposed to be the oldest of Saivite temples and all Thirumurai concerts conclude with the words “Thiruchitrambalam”.

Message For Th Day….Surrender Yourself to HIS Will ….
|
The Grace of the Lord cannot be won by a little pretence of non-attachment (Vairagyam) or just with a few little acts of discrimination (Vivekam). Know and act; realise and also experience – that is the hard path. Surrender yourself to His Will. Life is a great Yajna (sacrificial rite). Allow the Lord to preside over it. Do not ignore Him. This world is not a land of enjoyment (Bhoga Bhoomi). It is a land of sacrifice, of Yoga (union with God), and of righteous actions (Thyaga Bhoomi, Yoga Bhoomi, Karma Bhoomi). Have love and the spirit of unity in work and prayer, I assure you, the Kingdom of the Lord (Rama Rajya) will establish itself again here.

Most Beautiful Airports Around The World !!!!
Changi Airport’s Terminal 3 in Singapore features an impressive roof composed of more than 900 skylights, each adjustable to let in the perfect amount of light, as well as a five-story vertical garden in the baggage claim area. Indoor gardens scattered throughout the airport lend a calming atmosphere to this busy hub.
Beijing International Airport’s Terminal 3, opened for the 2008 Olympics, is one of the largest buildings on earth. From the sky, the structure is meant to resemble a dragon adorned in the traditional Chinese red-and-yellow color scheme. Huge skylights let in plenty of natural light, and the entire terminal is color-coded to help passengers navigate it effortlessly.
JFK’s Terminal 5, also called the TWA Flight Center, serves as the airport’s JetBlue Terminal. The space was designed by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen in 1962, and was meant to look like a seagull in flight. The building’s unique design has been used as a New York filming location for movies like “Catch Me if You Can.”
Madrid is quickly becoming a major travel center in Europe, and besides being one of the easiest airports to navigate, it’s also beautiful. Terminal 4’s architectural highlights include colorful steel pylons supporting a bamboo ceiling that lets in sunlight with the aim of creating a tranquil and calming space for passengers passing through.

Boeing 747…The “Jumbo Jet” Plane Which Redefined Airtravel….A Flash back!!!
The first 747 rolled out of the Everett assembly building in Washington State on September 30, 1968. A special hangar was built for its construction. By volume, it remains the biggest building ever made.
The plane was set to re-define air travel, with its ability to carry more people than previous aircraft, and played a major part in making long-haul journeys more affordable….
Pan Am was the first airline to receive a 747, and Pat Nixon, the First Lady of the United States, christened the aircraft Clipper Vector. The 747 entered service on January 22, 1970, on Pan Am’s scheduled flight from New York to London.
It also shared some historic highs. The 747 was often used to transport space shuttles, and here it is seen in 1978 giving the Enterprise a piggyback.
In 1984 a youthful Richard Branson launched his airline with a 747 flight from Gatwick to Newark.
The aircraft has been redesigned several times. Variants were launched in 1979 (747-100B), 1982 (747SP), 1983 (747-300), 1989 (747-400), 2006 (747 LCF), and 2011 (747-8, pictured).
The Boeing 747, launched more than 40 years ago, is one of the most influential and admired passenger aircraft ever to be built.
However the original “jumbo jet”, which has flown many millions of people in its decades of service, may finally be falling from favour. British Airways will take delivery of its first Airbus A380 “superjumbo” in July, and this week announced plans to buy 18 Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Both aircraft are quieter and more fuel efficient than the 747, which BA is now looking to phase out over the next few years.

Message For The Day…Sacrifice The Thinking That We Have Sacrificed !!!!
Google Search For Planets Thro Satellite ….Wait Till 2017 !!!!
INTERNET giant Google its taking its search function to new heights: Finding new planets, no less.
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will be launched in 2017 and will see Google join NASA to send a set of specialist cameras in to space to scan the skies for planets orbiting bright nearby stars.
NASA has said the satellite will focus upon stars likely to have Earth-like planets.
It will use a technique to analyse starlight to find planets as they swing around their stars, similar to that used by the Kepler telescope which has already found some 2700 orbiting bodies.
“TESS will carry out the first space-borne all-sky transit survey, covering 400 times as much sky as any previous mission,” George Ricker, TESS’ principle investigator, said in a statement.
“It will identify thousands of new planets in the solar neighbourhood, with a special focus on planets comparable in size to the Earth.”
This artist rendering shows the different types of planets in our Milky Way galaxy detected by NASAs Kepler spacecraft.
Google’s role so far extends back to 2008 when it provided initial funding for the development of the telescope’s sensors and optical cameras.
Are there plans to launch a Google Space View to join its terrestrial equivalent?
Google has not said.
The launch is one of two projects slated by NASA to be launched in 2017.
The second involves a neutron star scanner to be fitted to the International Space Station.
This illustration provided by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows artist’s renderings of planets Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f compared with Venus and the Earth. Scientists have found the two Earth-sized planets orbiting a distant star, an encouraging sign for prospects of finding life elsewhere.
