Michael and I have discussed this at length and truly see huge opportunity here. Our VCE business, when connected to Dell’s products and services, will grow faster and have a much larger impact on the industry than either one of us could individually. The coming together with Dell will expand our joint cloud opportunities even further, providing more depth and breadth with enterprise customers, and, of course, in the government, healthcare and SMB markets, where Dell has core strengths.Ĭonverged infrastructure is one of our fastest growing areas and with this combination our CI business will be incredibly well positioned. I truly believe that by combining our cloud assets and capabilities we can create a recognized leader in the on and off prem enterprise cloud industry. This, along with the growing momentum of vCloud Air, for hybrid usage, gives us unique assets. Our Virtustream business, led by Rodney Rogers is a key part of our growth strategy, with its focus on managed cloud services for mission critical applications for enterprise customers. I have spoken many times about the impact that cloud computing, in all its forms, is having on the industry. I believe they are well on their way to becoming a public company at some point in the not too distant future. Paul and I are very happy with the progress Rob has made in the short time he has been CEO and Pivotal is making great strides in the marketplace. Pivotal will continue to operate as it has with Rob Mee as CEO and Paul Maritz as Executive Chairman. We estimate that these revenue synergies could top $1B over the next few years. Together, Dell and VMware will have the opportunity to significantly expand VMware’s revenues in the areas such as the software-defined data center, hybrid cloud and end user computing. We see significant synergies between Dell and our Federation companies, especially VMware, which will continue to operate as a public company led by Pat Gelsinger. The EMC Federation has created great momentum in the market place which we expect to accelerate. We are very excited by this opportunity, while being able to reward our EMC shareholders in such an attractive way. The new company will have more freedom to invest for the long-term, an increased focus on our customers and, very importantly, the ability to attract and retain the best and brightest people. The combined company will be far more efficient and effective to operate as a private company, giving us the ability to incubate and develop new products and solutions necessary to capitalize on the opportunities I just mentioned. Additionally, it brings together strong capabilities in the hottest IT trends, including digital transformation, the software-defined data center, hybrid cloud, converged infrastructure, mobile and security. It will have complementary product portfolios, expanded market reach, and four of the world’s greatest technology franchises: servers, storage, virtualization and PCs. The combined company will be a leader in a number of the most attractive high-growth areas of the $2 trillion information technology market. The coming together of EMC and Dell will create a powerhouse in the technology industry with more than $80B in revenue. To keep us growing and thriving through the truly historic changes that are gripping our industry, and to help assure we capitalize on the vast opportunity before us, we decided that creating a new company with Michael Dell, an industry colleague and noted leader, and the team at Silver Lake is the best way to position EMC for success going forward. And now we are entering a new era, where the entire information technology industry is experiencing massive disruption, while simultaneously being presented with unprecedented opportunity. An incredible feat! During that period, we have seen good times, tough times, and yes even great times. In the past 25 years, we have transformed from a storage start-up to a global technology leader with more than 70,000 people. Today is a remarkable day in EMC’s history. And I thank our valued customers for their trust, business, and friendship.īut I also recognize the need for change, and size, coupled with focus of mission, and capabilities, matter! I believe that this transaction will put EMC and our terrific people in the best position possible to thrive in the new world order. I owe each one of them an incredible debt of gratitude. I love our people and the culture we have built. It has been a journey that I wouldn’t have traded for anything. I am incredibly proud of the business we have built here at EMC. This is a bittersweet announcement for me.

Imperialism definitely has some great ideas : its avoids the end-game micromanagement nightmare of most games of the genre and the economic model forces the player to make tough decisions. Low replay value, but the campaign is quite nice. Imperium Galactica is an interesting story-driven space 4X with great productions values for the time. Someday, I'd like to try Rising Lands : it doesn't seem wildly original, but there seems to be some consequences to your actions during the campaign : for example, if you made peace with a faction during a mission, you'd still be at peace with it the following mission. I didn't enjoy Age of Empires or Total Annihilation : they felt like well done but pretty bog standard variations of the Dune 2 formula to me. Very intense game and a great multi-player experience ! Once that is done, you can use one of your transport units, the only one that move, to « collect » the priest and bring him to your temple, where you can sacrifice him. And to capture the enemy priests, you need to immobilize him with your offensive units, that you place on the end of a bridge. But in order to do this, you need to build bridges that connect you to the other islands. Netstorm is another excellent but very different kind of RTS : you play as a priest in a floating island and try to capture enemy priests so you can sacrifice them to your gods and gain new powers. A legally free version is also available : the source code has been released a while ago as GPL and some very dedicated fans have kept updating the game since, fixing various issues and doing some rebalancing. Although it looks like a bad Warcraft clone, it’s a pretty original blend of traditional RTS and « empire management » : units can gain experience but also betray you if you aren’t catering to their needs, the economic system is fairly deep and involves trade with other nations… Also, espionage plays a crucial role : your spies can go undercover and rise in rank within another nation, becoming generals or even rulers ! The original game can be bought on gog.com. Of the ones I tried, my favorite is definitely Seven Kingdoms. I'm not a big RTS player, so I haven't played most of those that came out that year. Maybe some readers will find a few games that will tickle their fancy. I can't resist writing about some 1997 strategy games that I enjoyed. Great show : I love these retrospectives !

It is for the reasons stated above that the audience doesn’t root for Akash and Kiara to remain together all their lives. Watch: ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ Movie Title Song Are suicides so common that you bump into people wanting to end their life exactly when you want to end yours? Kiara guzzling down bottles of beer and other alcoholic drinks will also not be taken too kindly by the viewers. It could probably have something to do with the way in which Akash and Kiara meet – they both have come to the same spot to do the same thing, commit suicide. Yet another drawback of the drama is that it is too stretched, slow and boring and looks contrived rather than believable. Likewise, while some of the light moments are interesting, the others are too childish to be enjoyed by the audience. This makes the viewer wonder if Akash is a robot who has been programmed to live for some days more or he is a human being who is keen to end his life and yet doesn’t want to die, if one may say so.Įven the journeys they undertake and the adventures they get into aren’t so enjoyable or entertaining that the audience would love for them to be a part of them. The writers would have the audience believe that he yells for assistance because he has a pact with Kiara, a complete stranger, to live till 31st December. Soon, he starts screaming that he doesn’t know how to swim, prompting Kiara (who is also in the waters) to help him and prompting the audience to wonder why someone so keen on ending his life would scream for help when he has landed in a sure death trap. While enjoying life with Kiara, he jumps into the ocean although he doesn’t know swimming. Again, he gets into an understanding with Kiara to live life to the fullest for some days. He seems to be a supremely over-confident kid in the first scene so that his attempt at taking his own life after a business loss doesn’t ring true at all. On his part, Akash also comes across as an idiot. Sorry, the youngsters of today (the target audience of the film) will not be as patient with Kiara as Akash is. She wants to commit suicide, then doesn’t mind living for some days before dying, then attempts suicide again, then wants to go back to Kunal who, in the first place, drove her to attempting suicide, then wonders whether he is the right choice for her…. Kiara comes across as a perpetually confused girl who is a far cry from young girls of today, who know to take charge of their lives. Watch : ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ Movie Stills And Wallpapers Secondly, the audience at no point feels for Akash and Kiara, maybe because nobody likes cowards – and suicide is the last resort of cowards. Firstly, the scenes are often so childish that it gives the impression that suicide or death is being trivialised. Advaita Kala and Siddharth Anand’s screenplay is tedious and uninspiring. Mamta Anand’s story is hugely inspired by the 2007 Hollywood film, The Bucket List in which two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die. But they are in denial of their love for each other. Kiara returns to Kunal, and Akash to his group of business partners. But before 31st December, they decide to part ways just the way they had met – as strangers. The two set out on adventurous journeys together as they are counting their last few days. Akash, of course, had lost millions of dollars in business and so, he had thought of killing himself. Unable to bear the humiliation, Kiara had wanted to end her life. It turns out that Kiara had been cheated by Kunal (Zayed Khan) days before the two were to get married to each other. They then decide to live their lives to the fullest for some days before finally committing suicide on 31st December.įrom here on begins the fun journey of Akash and Kiara who now have a few days to live. Their suicide attempts fail and they become friends. Both meet on a bridge from where they are about to jump to end their lives. Verdict: ANJAANA ANJAANI is for the weekend, after which it will find the going tough.Įros Entertainment and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment’s Anjaana Anjaani ( UA) is the story of two strangers in the USA, Akash (Ranbir Kapoor) and Kiara (Priyanka Chopra). What’s Bad: The screenplay, the light moments. What’s Good: The music (Vishal-Shekhar) the performances of Ranbir and Priyanka. They fall in love with one another in the few days they spend together.

The university was called Belmont College for Young Women from 1890 to 1913 Ward-Belmont College from 1913 to 1951, and Belmont College from 1951 to 1991. Following is a list of notable alumni of Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. A tumor or cyst can potentially enlarge the supraclavicular fossa. A number of factors, including infection, surgery, and trauma, can contribute to this condition. The collection of lymphatic fluid in the supraclavicular fossa is a common cause of swelling in that location. Depending on the underlying reason, there are different ways to treat swelling in the supraclavicular fossa. It is critical to get in touch with a doctor for an assessment if you encounter any of these symptoms. In some circumstances, the swelling may make it difficult to breathe or swallow. Pain, tenderness, and a noticeable increase in size are all signs of supraclavicular fossa enlargement. Afterward, the lymph nodes located on the right side of the clavicle drain into the right lymphatic duct, while the lymph nodes located on the left side of the clavicle drain into the thoracic duct. To be more specific, the right supraclavicular lymph nodes are responsible for the drainage of the breast, lung, and upper esophagus, but the left supraclavicular nodes have widespread drainage areas and drain distal regions, such as the renal area, cervical area, testis, and pancreas through a variety of sophisticated lymphatic networks. The majority of the structures that these nodes drain are located in the abdomen and thorax. The left & right supraclavicular lymph nodes, which are part of the sublevel Va auxiliary nerve lymph node chains, are responsible for draining the neck. Supraclavicular Fossa can be defined as a palpable subcutaneous depression beginning at the medial attachment of the sternal head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the base of the neck and extending laterally to the medial edge of the deltoid muscle. According to the findings of one study, a malignant process was discovered to be the cause of the majority of supraclavicular masses that were biopsied using FNA. It is important to highlight that Virchow's node, which is an enlarged node on the left side of the supraclavicular fossa, can be an indicator of progressive gastrointestinal cancer. FNA is a technique that can be utilized to determine which neoplasm is the primary one. This can be caused by a primary neoplasm (like lymphoma) or by the metastatic spread of cancer from another part of the body.īreast cancer, lung cancer, reproductive system cancer, gastrointestinal system cancer, and thyroid cancer are some of the main tumors that have the potential to spread to this region. Neoplastic diseases can cause an enlargement of the supraclavicular lymph nodes. Due to the supraclavicular fossa's intricate structure, a wide range of potential diagnoses can be made for the region's pathology, which might have neoplastic, congenital, or infectious roots. Its contents can be used to make differential diagnoses for problems in this area. The supraclavicular fossa is a complex part of the anatomy of the upper neck.
