This sng jackpot tourneys have really strange pay out system in some sites. Must say i don't like this on 888 to much either. Some sites had offer to make a deal at big jakcpots at the begginings of this format if i am remembering correct. I am sure that they will be more then happy that just make a deal and all take 1/3 of that milion.
geseco12 10/04/2021 05:56:43 GMT
They are right in mentioning that they should try to be more fair in their prize policies, but at that moment luck smiled on these players, but they know they have to play to win the first and second place jackpots, the third place already. it's less, that's why I think they won't change, because the three of them have the chance to play and win the 700 thousand dollars.
dule-vu 10/04/2021 09:12:27 GMT
rogerio you are wrong,you can make deal on this kind of blast or spin $ go games,its set up to make somebody winner of most of amount that is on table or even whole amount!this is big amount,so they will have three winners,but on most of them only first and second gets money,so this is not type of poker where you will play for longer time and where you will make deal!
winner will get 700 K and thats whole story!this games will not change anytime,because its not regular poker game and blinds are faster!
CALICUL 10/04/2021 19:57:10 GMT
Obviously we can't change anything if we do not take action and make a request together to 888 poker. I'm not talking about 2-3 people here, but tens of thousands asking this poker room to change jackpot prizes. It would be a interesting and the answer could be positive.
Cesar14 11/04/2021 01:02:53 GMT
Yes, it is a matter of discussing this issue, for that there are forums, in addition to the luck that these players can have, we should make a change in poker regarding prizes, so that it is more profitable to play tournaments, many migrate to cash for that reason, is a subject to debate a lot.
Actually for them it is a dream that they did not expect, but that's right, in poker you don't know when luck can smile at you, I think they will be very grateful for the room and everything in general, congratulations to these winners, now they will have enough money to climb levels and enjoy to the maximum level.
ha,ha,I cant believe what we read in this thread!member who play only freerolls and cant make buy in of 1 $ on blast games,want to write to 888 poker that they change prize pool for 100 $ blast game?
just some silly comments that cant be real!like anybody from forum would listen this and would write them about something like this!
they have prize pool like this for years,no matter do you play blast fro prize pool of 2 $ or 1000 $!
It's an interesting thing if they did that ( to change prizes ). As long as the difference is huge at this jackpot i consider as 1st place is a ghost winner. I have no confidence in any way that 1st player is real. My own thinking makes me believe that. About what kind of games i play, i didn't tell them here. Who checks me, doesn't know exactly rooms where i play. I play freerolls for training and for a little bankroll. Many players do the same and dule vu is one of them.
Yesterday I had a chubby prize playing spin go, and I know how it feels to win a good prize, imagine how these players would have felt when they won thousands of dollars, poker is a series of emotions that you cannot describe, that is why it is a sport incomparable.
Someone says that i have no chance of achieving such luck, and here he proves that he is wrong and does not know what he is talking about. This room is interesting and they have few types of jackpots. The one dollar blast offers a maximum gain of one million, and that thing it means there are chances for everyone to meet an immense luck. Good luck, mobsters.
Imagine that with some dollars you win, many get excited, the more these players knowing that there are 1 million dollars in prizes, they could not describe, they seem like they were dreaming, but that is poker, you do not know when it can arrive, but If you try, you will succeed.
MarkWest 16/04/2021 07:32:04 GMT
Calicul your thinks about ghost player is interesting , can't say it's possible or not but before was played one of the rooms that kind of game , so when start had 3 players like there usually is.
Play 3 games and all looks same , one player quickly lost and had me and one player left and all those 3 games I lost with hands : Flush A high to 4 of kind twos , 3 kind of K of mystery straight and last one full house to 4 of kind sevens , all those I lost when river card comes , somehow I start have thinks in that room it's not possible to win even every time when flop comes my hand looked very strong , understand that sometimes you can lost with strong hand but 3 time in row was enough for me in that room with those kind of game , again it's good to have more than one room to play good cards to all mobsters
You're right about that. I lost beautiful hands and because of that my confidence in all the poker rooms is only partial ( it is measured in percentages ). More than that is with minus and this is the reason that i do not fully believe that they are totally correct. To be better, 888 have to make more equal these jackpot prizes, because the sums are enormous. After that this room will be much more credible.
MarkWest I thought that you are serious man,especially when I look into your age and that you wouldnt believe when somebody write stuff like this!big sites like this will not allow something like this and that they have ghost players (their players) which will win this hands and prizes,just that other two players dont get anything!
dule-vu I just read about post what someone send before and wanted to tell what happens to me before when played that kind of game. If you read correctly I said that don't know is it possible or not to have some ghost players but after when loose with those kind of hands 3 times in row it's easy to think is there something wrong for me , maybe those kind of losses is normal to you when you play.
So don't worry about me I will not believe all what my eyes read from internet.
This game has been made to enjoy, I think that the prizes should really be modified, but if not, there is no problem, you just have to continue, and take advantage of the promotions that the room gives you, now what would happen if you won that prize? think positively so that things turn out well for us.
I should play tomorrow a few blast games to try and accumulate some more points because i'm sure it's extremely difficult to reach the table that offers a million dollars in prizes. If players participated in these games in a huge number, then we would have such a huge prize once a month for a $ 1 buy-in. We can't play for $ 100 like professionals.
MarkWest I know that you had words that you dont know is it possible or not,but just first words where you say that is interesting,said to me that you think that there are some chances that they are doing something to just take money from players and that they cheat!please dont believe to this member who write this kind of things!
As games it is good because you can play quickly without delays, and you have the possibility of winning large prizes that you will not find every time, it would be exciting to win those amounts of money, but luck is the account in these guys of game.
Play blast for a dollar if you want and you are able to win the 1st place out of 3 players. The million dollar prize also exists for this buy-in of $1. We don't know how much luck there would be to catch a game with that jackpot. The chances are obviously very low, but i think it's possible to some extent...
a Blast ranking has just ended where 50 players won 1,000 euros each. I hope the $ 1 million prizes become more frequent, because it would attract more customers. This game is good, because it is fast and if we earn money it's even better. 888 gave up at version with 4 players for one with 3. Now the chancesto win are higher.
I think that in a short period of time there will again be 3 winners who will take a million dollars. 888 poker has many Blast players and is not a problem. I played this game sometimes and it is quite interesting, but it is important to have a profit with something like that.
it's a bit hard to win the million dollars that is split by 3 players in 888 poker, but this will probably happen again. Maybe it's been won in the meantime but I haven't read about it. Anyway, it's nice to get a nice amount of money for a game for two minutes or maybe more if the clock is removed.
I do not understand why this prize does not accumulate faster and to make more winners of large sums. Here are many players who play this game every day and i think that in a year, 888 could offer 4 times or even 6 this prize, for more lucky players.
too many Blast games and too few players sharing a million dollar prize when offered. Unfortunately, their lobby doesn't show me when this prize was last won, but 888 poker needs to change its strategy a bit because the players want more money ...

Home News Breaking News Five Things Gingrich Must Do To Come From Behind And Win
Five Things Gingrich Must Do To Come From Behind And Win
For Newt Gingrich, the window to disrupt the Republican primary and upset Mitt Romney for the presidential nomination is rapidly closing.
Romney is threatening to open up a double-digit lead in the crucial Florida primary according to the latest polls, and strong debate performances combined with relentless advertisements across the state have only buoyed his chances.
Meanwhile, Gingrich has been sidetracked by trivial issues dominating the news cycle. Discussions of his plans to create a moon colony colonized days that the former Speaker needed to position himself as the alternative to "Massachusetts moderate" Romney. Meanwhile, conservative support is coalescing around the former governor, with Gingrich faltering in the face of Romney's better financed and more organized effort.
There's more trouble on the horizon for Gingrich. After the Florida primary, the former Speaker is facing a month of states that prove demographically favorable to Romney. Those contests include: a Nevada caucus that should see a high Mormon turnout; a Maine caucus in Romney's New England backyard; a Missouri primary where Gingrich failed to get on the ballot; and a Michigan primary in a state where Romney's father was a popular governor.
Even worse for Gingrich, there is not another GOP debate – the forum in which he has performed the best – for a month. Without an upset victory in Florida, the math becomes increasingly difficult to equal a Gingrich victory.
For Newt Gingrich to stay relevant in the 2012 presidential election, his campaign will need to turn things around — and fast. Here are the five things that must happen for the former House Speaker to win the nomination.
1. Score a big endorsement – and many small ones. While individual endorsements have proven less relevant this campaign cycle, Gingrich needs a big name to assure loyal Republican voters that he has the baking of at least a branch of the modern Republican establishment. He also needs some way to counter the Romney campaign, whose legion of supporters – including 73 members of Congress, the last GOP presidential nominee, and high-profile governors like Virginia's Bob McDonnell and South Carolina's Nikki Haley – have flooded conservative media outlets with anti-Gingrich messaging. Unless Gingrich can find some high-profile anti-Romney Republicans to take a leap of faith and endorse his campaign – and other surrogates willing to spend time and effort regularly knocking the likely party nominee – it will remain difficult to convince voters that they should do so. Late nods from Rick Perry and Sarah Palin were essential in Gingrich's come-from-behind South Carolina win.
2. Raise (and spend) more money. Gingrich has always been at a financial disadvantage in the GOP race, but spending heavily in South Carolina has handicapped the former Speaker. A Washington Post report Friday said that Romney and his associated Super PAC have spent twice as much on advertising in Florida – and that 80 percent of those ads were attacks on Gingrich. This comes despite a $2 million moneybomb fundraiser in the aftermath of Gingrich's South Carolina win, and a pledge of an additional $5 million donation by Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson to Gingrich's Super PAC. Without better tapping into the wallets of conservatives disenchanted with Romney as their nominee, Gingrich will struggle to just stay afloat.
3. Curtail the "grandiose" ideas. Gingrich might take umbrage to Rick Santorum knocking him for his "grandiose" ideas, but they're damaging his campaign and distracting from the central message he's trying to portray. Gingrich's proposed moon base dominated the headlines Wednesday, and discussion of the plan took on a life of it's own during Thursday's GOP debate – the final before the primary. Earlier in the campaign, his idea of having the urban poor work in schools as janitors similarly wasted days on the trail and delegitimized the seriousness of his campaign. Whether or not his policy proposals have merit, Gingrich needs to better identify the what is connecting with voters – and resist the temptation to slip into professorial pontification.
4. Convince Rick Santorum to drop out. The former senator's performance in Thursday night's debate was in many ways an homage to Gingrich; Santorum effectively painted his rivals as moderates bickering over irrelevant campaign slogans, assumed the high ground on policy issues, and threw in a sprinkling of media critique in a populist appeal to the Florida audience. By populating what should be natural territory for the former Speaker, Santorum is undermining his campaign and continuing to fragment the vote of conservatives who are skeptical of a Romney candidacy. Having lost his Senate seat nearly 4 years ago, Santorum is also playing with house money, giving him little incentive to abandon his bid. Gingrich needs to convince his "junior partner" to exit the race – and trade assurances about the eventual Republican platform, if necessary.
5. Force a Romney stumble. Despite a pair of back-to-back debate performances that demonstrated Romney's ability to land punches, the former Massachusetts governor still demonstrated some of his least flattering attributes at points during Thursday night's discussion. Romney suggested he would "fire" an employee who supported expanded space travel and that he was unaware of an attack ad that his campaign was airing — even though his voice "approved" the message. Gingrich does best when Republicans become concerned about Romney's ability to connect with voters or effectively challenge President Obama. The former Speaker should unload any remaining opposition research his campaign might have discovered, and remain focused on hammering Romney as inauthentic and centrist. Doing so could force Romney into the type of self-inflicted error that gives the Republican establishment nightmares – and provides Gingrich the opportunity he needs to slip back into contention.

Erik Karlsson addresses a possible return to Ottawa.
Could it really happen?
Jonathan Larivee
Published on December 4, 2022 at 10:03 a.m.
Photo Credit: Daniel Lea/CSM/Zuma
It's hard to believe that a defenseman that currently has accumulated a whopping 33 points in the first 27 games of the regular season is being talked about as a potential trade target, but that is exactly the situation that San Jose Sharks star defenseman Erik Karlsson finds himself in.
Karlsson has been the topic of rampant trade speculation and it comes as Karlsson is in the midst of a major resurgence this season, no doubt making him an extra valuable commodity from the perspective of the Sharks. Karlsson though controls his destiny in this scenario with a full no-movement clause that will allow him to dictate where and when the Sharks can trade him, if they do in fact go through with the trade.
One of the team's that has repeatedly come up as trade speculation heats up around Karlsson is his former team in the Ottawa Senators. The team is about to find itself in the hands of new ownership, which would in theory give Karlsson a clean slate when it comes to rejoining the team, and on Saturday he was asked about the possibility of a return to the Senators.
"I don't know. It's so far away. If I had the answer to those questions I would have changed my approach a little bit but we can't live like that," admitted Karlsson. "I'm just happy to be here right now and playing at the level that I am."
Karlsson would also be asked about his desires during a brief interview with National Hockey League insider Elliotte Friedman on Saturday evening, and the talented Swede appeared to indicate that he was interested in going somewhere where he could compete for a Stanley Cup championship.
"I want to win," said Karlsson. "That's why I started playing this sport when I was a little kid. I used to cry after every loss, I don't do that anymore, but that's what I want. When you're younger you think you've got all the time in the world and you don't realize how fast time goes. I hope that I get the chance to at least have a chance at it again."

Helping your child find her voice
When teasing by middle school boys took an inappropriate turn, the principal helped my daughter advocate for herself.
by: Andrew Leonard | May 18, 2017
My ex-wife, Jeni, called to deliver the news. A group of middle school boys had harassed our daughter, Tiana. Nothing physical or outright menacing, but there were enough sexual overtones to make a shy and sensitive seventh grade girl feel deeply uncomfortable. Jeni wanted to tell the principal. She wanted something done.
Tiana wasn't so sure. As a rule, she avoided confrontation. She was upset, but escalation wasn't her style.
At the time, I sympathized with my daughter. I recalled how brutal my own middle school years had been, resulting in a usefully thick skin. Maybe the same would be true for Tiana?
Jeni persevered. She convinced us that this was too important to let slide, that it was our responsibility to all the girls at our middle school to call out this bad behavior.
So we met with the principal, Rebecca Cheung.
We weren't crazy about her response — at least not initially. Principal Cheung told us that in cases like these, her recommendation was for the aggrieved party to personally confront the person who had said or done something harmful. Tiana, she suggested, should explain to the boys why what they had said was so hurtful.
This didn't sit right with any of us. Tiana was the victim! Why should she be forced to directly address the offender? For a shy girl, the experience would surely be excruciating.
Now it was Principal Cheung's turn to persevere. She outlined the benefits for Tiana: Standing up for herself would be beneficial to Tiana's long-term emotional growth and sense of self-worth. The confrontation would happen in Principal Cheung's office, under her supervision. Neither Jeni nor I would be allowed to attend, another element furthering the goal of getting Tiana to stand on her own two feet. Principal Cheung told us she'd done this many, many times before, with good results for all parties. Though we were all still trepidatious, we decided to give this method a try.
That was 10 years ago. After this incident, high school came on like a tsunami, followed by college and foreign travel and serious boyfriends. We all kind of forgot about that middle school incident… until recently.
One day earlier this year, I started wondering how much of the strong, self-assured, utterly-unafraid-to-advocate-for-herself-or-others young woman I know today was born in that moment in Principal Cheung's office. When my seventh grader put aside her diffidence, looked a boy in the eye, and explained to him his malfeasance — was that a breakthrough that forever shaped my daughter?
The answer, I thought, could be useful to anyone with a child in middle school. Middle school is notorious to everyone — parents, teachers, students — as a painful transition between the nurturing embrace of elementary school and the exciting drama of high school. We tend to think of middle school as a time to be endured, gotten through, tolerated. As parents, our impulse is often to try to shield our children from the roughest waters and keep looking ahead.
But a couple of decades of neuroscience research informs us that young adolescence — especially for girls — is an enormously important period of neural growth and transformation. The brain is literally being rebuilt, on the fly. Some developmental psychologists believe that making the right educational and developmental interventions in middle school could be as important as anything that happens in the 0-to-3 years period widely believed to be the most important developmental stage of life.
"The amount of neurological and developmental change that is happening right then [makes middle school] the second and last major window in which the brain is massively reorganized," says Diane Divecha, a psychologist affiliated with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. "It is a great period of vulnerability and opportunity. We should be pouring as much resources, study, attention, money, and support programs into this period as we have in the 0-to-3 range."
It is, in retrospect, impossible to determine exactly how any single event can affect any person's overall process of maturation and personal growth. But what I didn't realize before investigating the hows and whys of my daughter's experience is just how important it is to take a proactive stance in helping middle schoolers learn how to grow up at a time when everything — their brains, their hormones, their sense of self-identity — is in a state of roiling turbulence. We can't shield our kids from these traumas; we need to get right in there, like Principal Cheung did, and show our kids how to grow from them.
Rebecca Cheung now works as the academic coordinator for the Principal Leadership Institute at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education. She remembered Tiana, although she did not recall the specifics of this particular instance of harassment.
She acknowledged that her recommendation for a sit-down between harasser and victim was standard operating procedure during her time as principal. Quite a few girls, she said, had gone through similar experiences during her tenure. Middle school, said Cheung, is challenging for everyone, but it is especially tough for girls.
"What the research says is that girls by and large mature faster than boys," says Cheung, "and so girls are really going through the puberty period during middle school. Puberty and adolescence come with a lot of awakenings for kids around their physical body — their identity, beauty issues, hormones. It's really challenging for them to navigate, physically and psychologically."
Her decision to bring both the victims and perpetrators of a bullying or harassment incident together to talk things out in her office was, says Cheung, a conscious effort to nurture youth empowerment "informed in part by some theories around resiliency and around student voice and advocacy."
"I remember many, many instances of having to help kids find their own voice in navigating these types of issues," says Cheung. "I remember telling them I'm not always going to be there to solve this problem for you. Part of our role is to help you be able to advocate for yourself."
According to Cheung, the ensuing showdown wasn't a sink or swim situation for Tiana or any other girl or boy. It was an adult-guided effort to resolve issues while building the child's strengths. By being present in the room and lending her authority to the interaction, Cheung says she made it clear to both parties that this was an important interaction, that in her position as principal and leader of the school, she was using her authority to "to support Tiana… to emphasize the importance of her voice."
Simply using her power to lecture the offending party on the error of his or her ways would be self-defeating, Cheung explains.
"Students have to find their own voice. That's what self-advocacy is all about. If I advocate on her behalf, I could be reinforcing a victim mentality for her. [Instead], it's like I'm taking my power, and using it to say 'this is really important and you need to hear this now.' "
"Victimization happens when you can't get yourself out of that space or mentality of fear," she continues. "The empowerment is to move beyond the fear, to be able to speak and say your piece, and to make something right with the person and then for them to honor their words to each other, and move on."
I wonder: Did it ever blow up in her face? Did resolution ever fail to occur?
"Oh yeah, that happened," she acknowledges. "And then we do it again. But in between we have individual conversations with the students who are struggling, and we talk about why it was a struggle. These types of skills take time and practice to develop and sometimes they are really unfamiliar or uncomfortable for kids, and so I think we have to do right by them: which is to give them another chance."
Intriguingly, according to Divecha, Cheung's approach ran counter to the "conventional wisdom on bullying and harassment."
"Peer mediation is not recommended," says Divecha, "because you are putting the target of the harassment back into the relationship with the people who did the harassment."
Which, of course, was precisely the concern that I had as a parent when Cheung first suggested bringing the students together to talk it over.
However, noted Divecha, it is also possible that "the principal was sophisticated enough to finesse that interaction so that your daughter didn't feel re-victimized… and to make this happen to help her feel confident to stand up to something like a transgression on her dignity."
In the immediate aftermath of the "interaction," Tiana didn't tell us much about what happened, except to note that the boys were extremely embarrassed. The initial harassing comment had involved the boys teasing Tiana about whether she knew "where the Tampon goes." The retelling of this incident in front of the principal, apparently, was not something the boys enjoyed sitting through.
But at a time when the very structure of your brain is in great flux, maybe it's a good thing to be forced to feel acutely embarrassed at your own dumb joke. And conversely, it seems possible that the principal's encouragement to Tiana to be her own self-advocate may well have had outsized reverberations, given that we now know that everything that happens in middle school packs a larger-than-normal punch.
And that seems to me the thread to hold on to. Whether or not Principal Cheung's intervention really did help transform my daughter into the adult she is today, it is clear that middle school is a time when such interventions make a huge difference. We've got to stop fearing middle school and learn how to embrace it. The potential for encouraging long-term positive personal growth and building your child's strengths is simply too great to ignore.

Q: PsExec is not recognized as an internal or external command I have a job that needs to run a script on a remote computer. I'm doing so by using psexec via "Execute windows batch command":
C:\PsExec.exe \\computername -u username -p password -accepteula c:\xxx.exe

When I run the job I get the following error:
c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command

** PsExec.exe is located under c:\
Any ideas?

A: First Define psexec.exe path in environment varaiable "PATH" or else place psexec.exe file in C:\Windows\System32\
And to Download Psexec.exe file
https://download.sysinternals.com/files/PSTools.zip

A: One possible explanation is the version of PsExec.exe: 32bits or 64bits.
If you have the 32 one on a 64bits machine, that command would not be recognized indeed. PsExec64.exe would.

A: I can see the age of this question and my answer may not be relevant to this topic since I was technically trying to solve a different problem, but maybe this will help other people who are stuck.

c:\PsExec.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command

I was trying to disable the Maintenance Configurator with PSExec (my problem is the never ending maintenance bug) and kept running into the same error as the OP BUT I got PSexec64 to run this command:

C:\PsExec64.exe -s schtasks /change /tn >"\Microsoft\Windows\TaskScheduler\Maintenance Configurator" /DISABLE

BY checking the "Run this program as an administrator" option under the Compatibility settings for "PsExec64.exe"
Don't know if this has solved my problem yet, but I think the OP would have been able to run his process if he had done this. Dear OP did you ever solve that?

Mozambique's Deputy Minister of Justice, Alberto Nkutumula, says USD40 million is needed for the computer systems to improve the country's home affairs records-keeping.
Nkutumula said many people live and die without records being kept of them on national registers. He said civil registration systems did not function adequately, and that an assessment would be carried out into the effectiveness of systems in use. The government planned to improve civil registration of births, deaths, marriages and divorces, he said.
Nkutumula noted the importance of birth registrations, and added that registration of death was equally important. "Many perform the funeral of their loved ones in a traditional way, but do not have the same care to inform the state about the death of his family. Those citizens should understand that the state needs to know not only which citizens who died, but also the causes of these deaths. Only then can we take action to improve the lives of people," he said.

'Kaththi' Music Review Roundup: Anirudh Strikes Again
"Kaththi" has seven songs and it looks like Anirudh has managed to win the hearts of critics and fans with the film's music.
By : Nicy V.P
Sep 20, 2014 15:50 IST
"Kaththi" PosterFacebook/KaththiMovie
The audio of the upcoming Tamil film "Kaththi" is released. The film stars Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead.
The audio launch held in Chennai was attended by many stars, including Vijay, Neil Nithin Mukhesh, Anirudh, Aishwarya Dhanush, Samantha, Madhan Karky and Hip Hop Tamizha among others.
"Kaththi" directed by Murugadoss is one of the most awaited films of the year. The music direction is done by Anirudh Ravichander and it looks like he has managed to win the hearts of critics and fans with the film's music.
There are seven songs penned by Hip Hop Thamizha, Madhan Karky, Pa. Vijay and Yugabharathi. The songs are sung by Anirudh, Hip Hop Thamizha, Shankar Mahadevan, Shwetha Mohan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Vijay, K. J. Yesudas and Vishal Dadlani.
Here are the reviews of "Kaththi" music by various critics
"Pakkam Vanthu", Singers: Anirudh Ravichander, 'Hip Hop Tamizha' Aadhi, Lyrics: Hip Hop Tamizha
"A hip-hop track which becomes addictive after few listens. An out and out party-mix track high on Aadhi's lyrics and Anirudh's love-filled singing. The folk breakdown and fastening of the rhythms towards the end are genre' justifying in this new pub anthem in making."- Behindwoods.com
"The album's first song is a loopy and trippy number by Hip Hop Thamizha Adi and Anirudh. It rap and melody interlaced with some trendy beats will surely get you addicted after a few listens. A sure shot Kollywood night pub anthem and a trademark Anirudh song" – Indian Express
"The album starts off with a great EDM material with Hiphop Tamizha Aadhi's rap portion & Anirudh follows him with the trippy verse 'Pakkam Vanthu Konjam Muththangal Thaa'. Anirudh triggers the first bullet by making use of a double barrel gun, and his partnership with Aadhi hits a hat-trick here. Both the interludes are designed to make the listener say, WOW! And, Anirudh's late entry in the second stanza to render 'Maname Maname' is a brilliant pit stop strategy in a high voltage Aadhi's F1 race-sque vocals." – Indiaglitz.com
"Paalam", Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Shweta Mohan, Lyrics: Madhan Karky
"The majestic Shankar Mahadevan exemplifies the grandeur of the setting with his powerful voice dealing a carnatic-folk song here. Anu-pallavi of the song is just musical brilliance. Celebration and unity are symbolized with the joyful group singing and approach of the tune." Behindwoods.com
"Shankar Mahadevan's powerful and Shweta Mohan's soothing voices gives this carnatic-folk mix song a good feel. The track concludes on a typical 'gaana' note and clearly shows Anirudh is willing to experiment with genres." – Indian Express
"An experimental track from the composer as he tries to serve three different flavours within 5.5 minutes. Shankar Mahadevan makes a comeback to Tamil cinema after a brief hiatus and shoulders this tune to give the much needed push. Shweta Mohan sounds authentic in the traditional Carnatic while the chorus portion with kids is likeable. The song ends on a high note with the typical 'gaana' rhythm only to leave the listener to think for a while on what genre this track belongs to." – Indiaglitz.com
Kaththi Theme – The Sword of Destiny
"Urumi melam is the soul of Kaththi theme. A quintessentially mastered electronic track majorly headed by programmed Santoor, synth effects and some Bagpipers. With the sounds of swords clashing and guns clocking, Kaththi theme is tailor made for Vijay with all the huffs and puffs." Behindwoods.com
"The theme starts off with a clash of swords and sound of bullets being fired. The use of the urumi melam and some heavy electronic sounds make this theme a perfect fit for Vijay. It is already the most downloaded ringtone and caller tune by the Chennai" - Indianexpress.com
"All of us have heard this one already with the motion picture of 'Kaththi' and Anirudh has added a bit of humming at the end of the theme. What starts off like a heavy clash of two swords goes on to burst out with a splashing bullet sound in the midway. One cannot imagine the swag level of Vijay with this theme track on the screen. The theme track has already become a ringtone of many and it is time to be the caller tune!"- Indiaglitz.com
"Selfie Pulla", Singers: Sunidhi Chauhan, Vijay, Lyrics: Madhan Karky
"The super singer Vijay is at his best possible form. A potential blockbuster substantiated by programmed shehnai, foot-tapping rhythms and guitars on full distortion. The most beguiling song of the year is ready." - Behindwoods.com
"A song by Vijay seems to be a must in all his recent movies, Google-Google in 'Thuppakki', Vangana Vanakamgana in 'Thalaivaa' and Yeppa Mama Treatu and Kanthangi in 'Jilla'. The song is by far the most expected one by fans and Vijay doesn't disappoint. Trendy lyrics from Madhan Karky, addictive guitars by Keba really carry the song. 'Selfie Pulla' is certainly a number that even kids will be humming." – Indian Express
"Vijay's sensational form as a singer continues on this album too, as he effortlessly crooned a fascinating romantic kuthu with Sunidhi. Anirudh's sagacious sound arrangements with fierce guitar portions and shutter sounds are captivating. The 30 second long prelude consists of guitars and drums are addictive, and Vijay takes off like a well oiled engine from the very first second to deliver an impressive track."– Indiaglitz.com
Bad Eyes - Villain Theme
"Using the water splashes to set the rhythm of the track is totally unique and experimental. Thathkaaram on the Flute, scintillating Sitar fills and bhols fused with electronic beats give a whole new feel to this instrumental piece." - Behindwoods.com
"Primarily using the sitar and flute Anirudh has made this villain theme truly bad ass. The silent interludes give a sort of spooky feel to the track and will definitely accentuate and complement the bad guy." –Indian Express
"Is it possible to induce a dark mood with the usages of flute and sitar? Yes, says Anirudh, and he confidently pulls off another coruscating theme track. The stupendous sound engineering is evident and the idea to use as many as instruments to keep up the mood is laudable." – Indiaglitz.com
"Nee Yaaro", Singers: KJ Yesudas, Lyrics: Pa. Vijay
"How blessed is this generation to still have access to the golden voice? Yesudas renders a soulful pathos song with so much emotion. This one is bound to linger in our ears for a long time, if the visuals are matched. Guitars establishing the ragam right at the start of the song shows Anirudh's maturity. Mild Kanjira strokes and mellifluous flute in-between are levitating. The composition also exposes the melancholic side of the delightful carnatic raaga Shankarabharanam at places." – Behindwoods.com
"They lyrics are just praises of the hero but the singer makes this song what it is. Veteran K J Yesudas gives it a truly magical touch to this otherwise average song. It seems be a touching emotional number and one will have to see its effect only with visuals in the movie." – Indian Express
"A simple hero worshipping number, but, it sounds soothing because of Yesudas and the mild composition which lets the lyrics take over. The first interlude which extends close to half a minute is poisonous, and the way Yesudas picks up from there is magical. It is hard to believe this legend is on his job for more than 5 decades and still sounds the way he started his journey." – Indiaglitz.com
"Aathi", Singers: Anirudh, Vishal Dadlani, Lyrics: Yugabharathi
"Open stringed guitars welcome us to this catchy R n B song with Vishal Dadlani's crispy voice placed on a groovy rhythm. Interludes and the rap portion going along the rhyme scheme are typical Anirudh killers. The composer proves yet again that he is blessed with the ability to identify the pulling factor of a simple tune and use it to the fullest." – Behind woods
"Vishal Dadlani and Anirudh bring rock, melody and a bit of R n B together with Keba's catchy guitars in this number. Another trademark Anirudh track, this one will perhaps be a long term chart topper after the Selfie-Pulla fever dies out." – Indian Express
"The Ra. One composer has come back to sing once again for Anirudh. The duo did deliver a fantastic song in 'Vanakkam Chennai'. The composer wanted to derive one more from Hip Hop Aadhi, and cleverly used his rap portions with Vishal's vibrant vocals. Anirudh has let his imagination run over with blazing electric guitars and orchestrated a gangster style romantic number. The highlight of the track is; the rap portions of Aadhi which is well connected to the theme of 'Sword of Destiny' and no wonder it will be played on a loop on all the music players." - Indiaglitz


American Rock n Roll musicians Buddy Holly (22), Ritchie Valens (17), and JP 'The Big Bopper' Richardson (28) were killed when their plane crashed in Iowa.
When asked what "American Pie" meant, McLean jokingly replied, "It means I don't ever have to work again if I don't want to." Later, he stated, "You will find many interpretations of my lyrics but none of them by me … Sorry to leave you all on your own like this but long ago I realized that songwriters should make their statements and move on, maintaining a dignified silence." In February 2015, McLean announced he would reveal the meaning of the lyrics to the song when the original manuscript went for auction. The lyrics and notes were auctioned on April 7, and sold for $1.2 million. In the sale catalogue notes, McLean revealed the meaning in the song's lyrics: "Basically in American Pie things are heading in the wrong direction. Life is becoming less idyllic. I don't know whether you consider that wrong or right but it is a morality song in a sense." The king mentioned was Elvis, the jester was Bob Dylan.
Then the song also contains a much longer, and near-verbatim description of the death of Meredith Hunter at the hands of drunken Hells Angels at a free concert in California ten years after the plane crash that killed Holly, Valens, and Richardson. Where the music died a much more tragic and violent death. A death that was not an accident.
In 1972 the title of the song came to bite me when I embarrassingly cocked up the most important part of my matric dance. None of that.


In 2012 Iris Environmental and Harmony Walker Ltd. contracted Tannas Conservation Services (TCS) to partner in the historical mapping of the Oldman River valley on the Piikani Nation territory. This project was commissioned to determine the long term impact of the Oldman Dam on the river valley ecosystem and allow for appropriate mitigations to be placed. Within this project TCS personnel mapped each unique plant community polygon, completed a detailed field assessment, and assessed the changes in each polygon over the past 60 years. In addition the health of each plant community was assessed and ecological problems were identified. From this assessment Iris, TCS, and its partners were able to determine the impacts of the dam on the river valley.
The project complexity involved approximately 1000 polygons that had to be mapped with the previous maps being so poorly completed that they could not be used and paper copies had to be digitized and then updated. These limitations forced the team to complete a significant amount of additional work but still maintain the integrity of the budget. In addition, field access was limited by the access points to the river valley. Within this work the TCS team had to work within the access limitations to fulfill the assessment. While conducting the survey incidental rare species surveys were completed and a detailed assessment of the plant communities and health of them was completed. Historical flooding and condition of each wetland was assessed within the field ground trothing portion of the work.
Staff assigned to this project included, Clare Tannas (rangeland ecologist), Kathy Tannas (plant taxonomist), Steven Tannas (rangeland ecologist), Eileen Tannas (plant taxonomist). Steven was responsible for all mapping and historical comparisons between the plant communities over the past 60 years while the rest of the TCS team was responsible for the field assessments to ground truth the plant communities and assess their health.
In 2014 the TCS team followed up on the initial river valley mapping study to complete a study of the cotton wood communities within the Piikani Nation Territory. The project was a repeat of a previous survey where the cotton wood communities were studied upstream and downstream of the weir to determine if there was an ecological impact associated with the weir. This project posed a number of significant challenges including difficult to access locations. No available GIS data on the locations and only rough field maps to find the ground locations. In addition each location required almost 1km of line to be cleared for access so that the cotton wood trees could be assessed. This assessment included measurements of the size, health and age of each cotton wood tree along the designated transect. This information was then statistically analyzed to determine ecological impacts. Challenges in this project revolved around access, data quality, and the difficulty aging cotton wood trees. TCS overcame all of these limitations to provide a high quality final project on budget.
Study Area: South of Stettler to Oyen and North to Concert AB.
In 2014 TCS was contracted by Klohn Krippen Berger to complete the vegetation, wetland, rare plant surveys and land use portion of the Special Areas Water Supply Project (SAWSP) EIA. The rest of the project (Wildlife, soils, and aquatics) was completed by Klohn Krippen Berger. This EIA is a unique project encompassing ~500km of stream channels in eastern Alberta with two reservoirs, and multiple diversion canals and constructed wetlands making 29 project components and 6 EIA's. TCS was contracted to complete the vegetation assessment portion of this project. This included: rare plant surveys, plant community assessments, wetland assessments, desktop mapping, associated discipline reports and the 6 vegetation EIA's for the project.
This project showcases the ability of TCS to complete large scale projects. The area covered by this project makes it one of the largest EIA's in the province and highly complex due to the numerous wetlands, streams, lakes and reservoirs that exist within the project footprint. The 2014 field survey targeted completing 40% of the footprint, however TCS was able to survey 60% of the footprint and complete the survey one day early. This meant TCS came in slightly under budget for the field component of the project and completed a larger portion of it than was originally projected. All vegetation mapping was completed starting with no base information as none exists for this region of the province. TCS identified and mapped all wetlands ephemeral streams and all riparian and upland plant communities then classified them all down to plant community based on the field ground trothing data set.
Initial Project Review: Included a database search ( ACIMS, GVI, AGRISID…), initial mapping of the project footprint with known areas of environmentally sensitive vegetation, creation of land owner lists, contact with land owners to gain access to the land and mapping for access to the sites. After the first season complete mapping of all plant communities and wetlands was completed for the second field season and data collected during the first field season was used to inform the data collection in the 2015 field season to be started in July 2015.
Mapping of all habitat using imagery, identification of wetlands, identification of all critical habitat features, and a habitat assessment to determine required field surveys.
Environmental Assessment: In 2014 a field survey for vegetation and land use issues was initiated in late June and occurred over 10 days with 6 professionals. The two person crews walked areas to be impacted on stream channels, proposed bypass canals, and reservoirs. The 2014 survey completed a survey of 60% of the project footprint for early season rare plants, wetlands, and upland vegetation classification. The 2015 survey will add late season rare plants, wetlands and more upland vegetation classifications.
Discpline Report:The environmental report was submitted in the spring of 2016. All wetlands, upland plant communities and rare species have been mapped as well as land use features. Two complete reports were completed (Vegetation/wetlands and Landuse) by TCS personnel along with all baseline vegetation mapping. The report totalled over 600 pages excluding maps.
Environmental Impact Assessment: A 500 page environmental impact assessment was completed for the vegetation/wetland and land use compoents of the EIA by TCS personnel in February 2017.
An audit of the invasive species management program on the highways of Jasper National Park was conducted by TCS in 2010. This survey included the survey of 25 5km segments of highway throughout the park. Each species was assessed for cover, density and distribution. The final analysis included an control priority list for each species and segment. In addition the cover of each invasive species throughout the park was quantified and broken down by road segment.


Since I may never find this forum again (it happens often) and before my new web site is even half-way complete, I'll post the link here for the future use of those Canary Island Family descendants interested in some of the activities of their ancestors. The project began merely as a history of our Main Plaza Apartments building at the southeast corner (the original homestead of the Padron-Chavez Family of 30 by 30 varas or 83 x 83 feet square) and has grown in proportion to the fantastic history and imagery found since October 14, 2012. I may include a genealogical tree of the earliest families that will be created just for me to keep my own mind straight while writing up the various narratives.


Hi Shannon, very nice sharing. I especially like the scene of monks walking in line for alms and a few years back, I joined the people giving food to the monks in Luang Prabang. Where in Bagan did you see this activity the most?
It is so beautiful to see, and how wonderful that you were able to join the people offering alms. In Bagan, it's less touristy that Luang Prabang, it happens in the very early morning and they monks quietly passed by our guesthouse, there wasn't another person outside as they walked back to their monastery. If you ask at your hotel, they will know a route the monks take locally.
Thanks for sharing Richard, Bagan was such a stunning site.
My favorite place in Myanmar was Bagan, and I enjoyed reading your stuff as well.
Seeing this post, i really excited to visit bagan in burma and i also visit most fascinating historical sites in southeast asia.
Well, though the bicycles have changed, people are still extremely gracious, that has not changed at all! I appreciate you reading along and sharing your own journey — I would have loved to see the region before rampant tourism hit Southeast Asia.
some of the photos were taken from elevated points, are there hills or buildings?
wow you have a great photography eye. What a stunning place This has to go onto my bucket list. I love watching sunsets at places like this. The first time I was in Rome I watched the sunset over the colosseum for four days straight.
Thanks Stephen, it was beautiful an so much calmer at the untouristy temple, it meant we could quietly watch the sun set and just take everything in–it's a bucket list place for sure. As for Rome, where did you watch the sunset from? I spent a couple weeks in the city but I think I missed out on that view?!
I'd love to visit Burma and Bagan. I love your photo of the sunset over the temples – reminds me of when I visited the Mayan temples in Guatemala.
GORGEOUS pictures! First time I've been to your blog ever (just came from Go, See, Write) and these pictures stumbled upon me. Together with the text, it caught me. Congratulations!
The Zodiac in your picture is actually Tiger which represent Monday.
Elephant – Wednesday morning to afternoon.
Sometime in marriage, people like to calculate their fortune depending on which day their partner born. Whether he/she would be match in the aspect of health, wealth, whether the marriage bring luck and happiness. Even though nowadays people are not that superstitious to extreme extinct. Check out yourself which day you were born? it's interesting to know about yourself when you didn't notice until you found Burmese zodiac. At least for my Singaporean friend, they didn't notice which day they were born.
Thanks for the update and letting me know it is the tiger! I asked when I was there but forgot the answer. Also, I looked up my birthday day just before I went to Shwedagon so that I would have the right day (Wednesday morning).
I appreciate your insight and that you shared some more about Myanmar culture.
The temple know as "GU" this means they inspired by rock caves of Buddhist. This place is for workships that included the richly frescoed corridors with sacred shrines images and workshipped. They have symbolic home of god. their temple is very simple.
Thank you for sharing that insight Patty, the frescoes were so beautiful to look at and it was surprising that many of the small temples had these wonderful works of art inside!
The pics are very nice and post are also very nice too, thanks for sharing.
I work at a school full of Burmese refugees. I would like to use one of your beautiful photos in a display. I would like to give you credit for it but I cannot find your full name on your website.
Your writings, taking your niece on this adventure and pictures are all amazing. My wife, myself, our friend Susan who left burma when she was 13 (35 years ago) and her sister Caroline (she was 11) are going to Burma January 2013. It will be their first times back.
What camera did you use? I have a DSLR but am leaving it home, I want a camera that fits in my pocket and want to take pictures somewhat discreetly.
Wow! Really inspirational photos. One thing I was wondering about is the amount of people out there among the stupas. Many of the world's holy places (Hagia Sofia, Angkor Wat, etc.) are so full of visitors that it can get tricky to find a moment of peace for yourself to just soak it all in. It's doubly frustrating because of teh natural inner-quiet those places inspire. What was it like in Bagan?
The first sentence of this post is so true. Inspirations from traveling can change from one day to the next, even from morning to night. Personally, I find it difficult to choose between the people, cuisine, landscapes and architecture and have decided to accept that it is the curious blend of everything that makes our travels so fascinating.
Beautiful pictures, I'm missing Asia so much!
I know just how you feel! I've been having pangs for it all week, and looking at photos just makes me wonder all the more when I can make it back there soon! Any plans to return soon?
This looks amazing, great photo's! I can't wait to travel here in spring 2013… This makes me want to book a flight for tomorrow!
Also, I just posted a tiny piece about Bagan on my (newbie) blog. Would you be okay with it if I add a link to this photo essay?
April is the month of Myanmar New year which is Water festival where water are splash through out the country no matter who you are.
Just another things to take note is that April is hot season in Myanmar and the Bagan region is very hot at that time.
I'm going there in January! I honestly can't wait!!!
That sunset… how amazing. Looks like you had a great time.
Wonderful pictures and make me miss my country. I love sun setting and riding horse cart around is also fun.
These are awesome. I especially like the one of you and Ana. That'll be a cherished memory forever. How's the readjustment to school & America going for her?
Such luck hooking up with GOTPASSPORTFAMILY! wonderful photo essay!
Traveling in Southeast Asia I was use to leaving my shoes at the bottom of the stairs to the temples. I don't think I went into any temples with a lot of monkeys around but I know they can be little thieves. Did you have to carry your shoes with you in this temple or are shoes the one thing monkeys have no interest in stealing?
The monkeys are after the peanuts that sell there, so shoes are generally safe. We actually left our shoes in our truck, but they have little areas near many of the temples in Bagan with shelves for footwear so that it doesn't get too unmanageable. The monkeys can be vicious though–at the temples in India they were ruthless in trying to steal anything in my hands … even non-food!
Beautiful! I would love to visit here. The sunset photos are beyond gorgeous. I'd love to spend a few days exploring here!
I agree with Andi. The sunset photos are fantastic. Especially the ones with the "horse carts". Safe Travels !!!
Beyond, beyond gorgeous. That sunset shot is one of the best I've ever seen!!!!!
These photos brought tears to my eyes. Simply beautiful. It's a place in my heart.
and put things back into perspective.
Yes, they speak English! The woman who runs it used to work here: — which is a non-profit cafe/school that helps Shan and Burmese refugees learn English and find work. She branched off when she was settled enough and started her own. I don't speak anything but English either, no worries, both have English menus :) Good luck!
The temples of Bagan are currently the backdrop on my computer screen. :) It's a place I'm really looking forward to experiencing for myself. And I like your photo of the hot air balloons rising in the background – it makes the pagoda look like a magical setting!
Thanks Audrey, that's one of my favorite's too — if I had the money (it was really pricey) I would have loved to have done the sunrise balloon ride. Do you have plans to go there soon?

Bold Moves – Victoria's Secret, Lyst, Burberry, True Religion, MatchesFashion
Victoria's Secret & Co Announces New Corporate Leadership Structure
Victoria's Secret & Co. announced a new corporate leadership structure designed to enable execution of its strategy and fuel long-term growth goals. The streamlined organization will unite the company's three lines of business (Victoria's Secret, PINK, and Beauty) as a single, collaborative organization, enhancing focus on the customer, and positioning resources towards high growth, high return initiatives.
Commenting on today's announcement, Martin Waters, VS&Co CEO stated, "Over the last year, we have progressed a thoughtful revolution of our business by redefining the VS brand and rebuilding our strategy for growth. We can now better connect with and represent our millions of customers around the globe. As a result, we have more relevant brand positioning, more compelling merchandise assortments, and a more inclusive culture that celebrates our people. With our brand revolution well underway and gaining momentum, now is the time to reimagine our leadership structure to better align with a shifting consumer landscape and become more efficient as an organization."
In conjunction with today's announcement, the company has appointed executives to three key leadership roles reporting to Martin. These roles are aimed at strengthening the core of the business, enhancing the customer experience and igniting growth.
Amy Hauk
Christine Rupp
Greg Unis
Amy Hauk has been named CEO for Victoria's Secret and PINK. Amy has been CEO of PINK since 2018 after over a decade of very successful merchandising experience at Bath and Body Works. Under Amy's leadership, VS&Co will integrate merchandising, planning, marketing and creative teams to quickly apply best practices and consumer insights, speed the company's test and learn agenda and better engage customers across VS and PINK.
Christine (Chris) Rupp will join VS&Co as Chief Customer Officer, where she will be responsible for creating a seamless store and digital commerce business globally and will be accountable for sales and profitability across both channels. Chris is a transformational digital leader with 30 years in the retail field, including deep data and ecommerce expertise. Chris joins VS&Co from Albertsons where she is the Chief Customer and Digital Officer and has worked since 2019, dramatically expanding the loyal customer base and ecommerce distribution while improving the speed and cost of delivery. Prior to that, Chris was at Microsoft and Amazon, where she led Fulfillment by Amazon and launched Amazon Prime Day.
Greg Unis, who has successfully led the Victoria's Secret and PINK Beauty businesses since 2016, has been named Chief Growth Officer. In this new role, Greg will be responsible for the VS&Co-Lab platform, new business development, international expansion, as well as mergers and acquisition opportunities. Greg will continue to lead VS&Co's real estate and store design and construction teams focused on expanding the company's store of the future initiative.
Martin continued, "Uniting our brands as a single, collaborative organization under Amy's leadership will bring greater focus and discipline to our merchandising expertise while streamlining our processes and improving our speed to market. I firmly believe combining our store and digital channels under Chris will move us from being a company of 'shop keepers' to being a company of 'customer keepers'. By strengthening our core businesses in this manner, we are freeing up time and resources to focus on growth under Greg's leadership."
Today's announcement of a simplified leadership structure will streamline operations, collapse silos and allow the company to optimize spend in management roles, enabling reinvestment in growth initiatives. The simplification of the organization has led to a reduction of about 160 management roles, or approximately 5% of home office headcount, while providing for reinvestment in non-leadership roles focused on executing the company's strategic initiatives. The net impact of these decisions will result in an estimated $40 million cost reduction in the run rate of the business on an annualized basis beginning in third quarter of fiscal 2022. In conjunction with the reorganization and reduction in leadership, the company anticipates recording a non-GAAP charge of approximately $30 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Emma McFerran
Lyst Strengthens Leadership Team – Emma McFerran named CEO
Lyst announced that founder and CEO Chris Morton will move into the Executive Chairman role, where he will focus exclusively on Strategy, Partnerships and Financing initiatives.

"As Lyst continues to grow, it's increasingly clear that we have a unique opportunity ahead of us – my biggest fear is that we don't take advantage of it. At 200M annual shoppers, Lyst's fashion audience is one of the largest anywhere in the world. The market is accelerating and changing fast in the current environment – both of these offer tremendous tailwinds for our business. I want to focus 100% on supporting our company strategically at this key moment for us." – Chris Morton
Lyst also welcomes Liz Kistruck as new CFO. Liz was formerly a senior leader at Expedia for over a decade, including as Hotel.com's CFO. She joins a stellar C-suite of female and male platform industry leaders from Amazon, Spotify, Just Eat and Net-a-Porter.
With the company growing strongly and the online fashion market accelerating, these changes reinforce Lyst on its trajectory as a category-leading fashion platform.
"Our time is now. It's thrilling to take on this position, leading an exceptional team as we shift gears and prepare for the next and most exciting phase of the Lyst journey. Over many years Chris and I have built a powerful partnership, sharing a vision and a deep commitment to making Lyst the winning model for our customers and partners. This new team structure allows us to better realize our company's immense potential, and take Lyst to the next level." – Emma McFerran
