Anger not good for people ! - good for a Company !!

You, You !!! ….. Uuuuuuuu – when was the last time you shouted at someone or how often do you get angry ??? 

tweet/twitter/cheep/chirp – and more,  birds make  short, high sounds, sometimes,  a very loud, piercing sound. Linguists call these interjections. We have lots of interjections in English, including whoops, oops, yikes, eek, ouch, argh, and ugh. Argh and ugh are two interjections that sound similar, but can mean very different things. Both argh and ugh go back about 200 years in English.  Then in recent decades – a distinct peculiar sound got added !!!! 

Anger is “an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage.” Anger is one letter short of Danger –  : Whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full-fledged rage, Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. Anger can make you feel as though you’re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. 

Anger can be suppressed, and then converted or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it, and focus on something positive.   Anger turned inward may cause hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression. Unexpressed anger can create other problems.  So think before you speak and do not speak at all when angry. Express your concerns when you turn calm !! Use humor to release tension.  

In 2003, three students from the Helsinki University of Technology, Niklas Hed, Jarno Väkeväinen and Kim Dikert, participated in a mobile game development competition at the Assembly demo party sponsored by Nokia and Hewlett-Packard. A victory with a mobile game called King of the Cabbage World led the trio to set up their own company, Relude.  In January 2005, Relude received its first round of investment from a business angel, and the company changed its name to Rovio Mobile, where "rovio" translates from Finnish as "pyre".  In 2009,  Rovio released Angry Birds, its 52nd game, a puzzle game where a bird is flung at pigs using a slingshot for the iPhone; it reached No. 1 spot in the Apple App Store paid apps chart after six months, and remained charted for months after.  

The gameplay of Angry Birds revolves around players using a slingshot to launch the birds at green pigs stationed in or around various structures, with the intent of defeating all of the pigs on the playing field. As players advance through the game, new types of birds become available, some with special abilities. Rovio supported Angry Birds with numerous free updates over the years which added additional game content; many special and themed games were also released thereafter.  

The player controls a flock of multi-colored birds on a mission to save their eggs after they've been stolen by a bunch of green pigs. In each stage of the gameplay, the pigs are sheltered by structures made of various materials such as wood, glass, and stone resembling children's toy building blocks. Some pigs may be inside the structures, while others may be outside them. The objective of the game is to eliminate all the pigs in each level. Using a big slingshot, players launch a limited set of birds with the goal of either striking the enemy pigs directly or damaging their surrounding structures, causing the blocks to collapse and pop the pigs. The player must set the angle and force of the bird's travel by pulling back on the slingshot.      

Though the theme,  sounds a bit cruel, the game is very popular and has been downloaded more than 5 billion times !   making it the most downloaded freemium game series of all time. The original Angry Birds has been called "One of the most mainstream games out right now," "One of the great runaway hits of 2010",[6] and "The largest mobile app success the world has seen so far.  Yet Rovio is not in news recent times and it is stated no new games have come out from its stables !!  

 

Here is a release of ‘Angry birds’ from my camera !!
