Many are lost in conjectures and suspicions, what should be the normal blood sugar healthy men who lead an active lifestyle. Oddly enough, but these figures and our strong brutal guys elegant and sophisticated ladies are exactly the same. So nice to know that the blood in our veins is absolutely identical by its composition. So the rate of glucose it should not exceed the figure 6 mmol/l, but the lower bound can be lowered to 3.1 mmol/l. Everything that is between these rates, and will be the norm.
However, even for one day, but not that all life, the sugar level in the body of every man is changed. Sudden changes are undesirable, although a small increase happens all the time by eating a little sugar. Considered to be a gentle women with a sweet tooth. And our gentlemen, too, sometimes don't pass by a sweet chocolate or a few cups of tea, each with a couple slices of refined sugar. And yet these loads, though undesirable for the body, great risk can't imagine. Blood sugar men remained normal, and during the day again decreases and reaches its usual numbers.
Want to be sure that the body is not threatened, then visit the doctor at least once a year, but be sure to check blood work, which will present an accurate picture of health.
to be honest, but the greatest interest of the strong half of the shows to their sexual health. Is that the way of life could not be crossed closer to the level of sugar in the blood. Try to figure out how.
Increasing the permissible level of glucose in the blood of men, causes the development of diabetes mellitus and some other diseases. Sad, but after all this ill health has a negative impact on the potency of guys. When excessive sugar disrupts the small blood vessels, and every man knows that it is these small vessels that supply the his dignity of blood and takes care of the erection.
Hear our husbands about another important hormone in your body - testosterone. It is responsible for emotional macho. But enhanced significantly blunts the production of testosterone, and thus sexual life becomes not as intense.
Want to feel real, healthy man all of his life, take care of normal sugar in his blood. Don't forget that there is a glucometer, which should be in every home, so familiar as a thermometer or blood pressure cuff.

Maybe because it's the internet and the way we're acting is a prime example of how this medium should be treated and what you should derive from it. Don't take it seriously and if it gets too thick for you then close the webpage, close the app, exert some self-control.

I'm sure you will be the first offering condolences if they don't have the skin and off themselves.
This is a teen we are talking about and not a fully "grown" adult like we are all expected to be.
If you can't see the difference, I'm not sure what to say.
It was worse. A pure, uncontrolled, anarchic hell. The concept of "cyber-bullying" didn't exist, the media didn't bother with internet censorship and nobody cared if 4chan trolls harassed you. Being a lonely 15 years old back then was me against the world.

If someone off's themselves because of some shit people said on the internet then they would have never of made it in the real world anyway. There's people here (myself) with thick skin and I'm extremely apathetic to the plight of people dealing with problems on the internet whether they're teens or adults.

Except cyber bullying controls came in in the early 99s and the Internet was patrolled much harder then it is now.
Let's not remember this wrong. Most of the anti cyber bullying laws extend from rules that were created in the 90s, where you could only be bullied every 15 mins because that's how long it took a webpage to reload.
Nobody was getting fired or having thier lives ruined over IRC
There's simple remedies for these issues if you can't stand the heat, log the fuck off.
And with that I'm done.

The simple fact of the matter is you are playing baby's first fighting game vs a bunch of baby's.
If one of them beats you, they won. Doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl or something in between.
It's fucking embarrassing that this is what it's come to for the Smash community.
You guys need to get over it and move on, because this is the section of gaming that people don't want to be associated with.
It's sad it shows up at its worst on a Nintendo console.
I remember it correctly. 20-15 years ago people in online games and internert boards would insult you by just breathing and you couldn't do anything about it. . Nothing like today, where tech companies work to "fight toxic behaviour". Today the old internet only exists in certain containment boards and niche games.
That's bullshit. Especially on popular games. I'm not going to even bother citing reasons, because you know that was disingenuous before you typed it.
It wasn't the Wild West, and troublemakers have always been treated accordingly.
I don't know if you weren't actually there, or you are remembering it different then what it was.
Either way it was monitored and stopped.

Nintendo can say simple things like harassment is a crime and none of their values (respect, care, protecting are). They can remind they have always being strong protecting kids (obviously they are !). Say they have nothing to do with these people and condemn what they have done. They can even go further and create an ethic charter for Smach Esport tournament making gamers ambassadors of Nintendo's values inside the Smash community.

Teens do crazy things, but doing crazy things on the internet— Twitter, no less, where thousands of people (or more) can read and react to it in any manner they choose—is far worse than how it used to be. If a teen had a pity party, a meltdown, or some other attention-seeking events, theee were more isolated in terms of coverage.
Teens do not (or refuse to) understand how social media works, except when it comes to forcing engagement (likes, retweets, followers, shares, etc.); they don't understand ramifications outside of their little bubbles. They don't understand or think about potential long-term consequences of their actions.
As soon as you begin engaging people on social media, the responsibilities begin. It doesn't matter whether you're 8 or 80. You're going to be treated the same way. Trolls are gonna troll, especially if you become a visible personality. You can try to block and/or report them, but if you're not able to withstand that initial salvo of bullshit, it's gonna be awful every time... and, as pointed out elsewhere, teens are not yet adults and haven't finished their maturation processes.
Picking on 15 year-olds is shitty behavior, no doubt, especially if said behavior is coming from adults... but if this is happening online, it's the new normal and should (sadly) be expected by any youth foolhardy enough to actively use social media. Parents should, at the very least, be having serious conversations with their children about it before granting them permission to register and use it. Parents should be actively monitoring the online activity of their children, too.

"Counter‐geoengineering is the idea that a country might seek or threaten to counteract the cooling effect of solar geoengineering through technical means. Although this concept has been mentioned with increasing frequency in commentary on geoengineering, it has received little scholarly attention. We offer a preliminary analysis. We begin by distinguishing two kinds of counter‐geoengineering: countervailing with a warming agent, and neutralising with a physical disruption."

"This article asks: how can rationales underlying governance demand for climate engineering technologies inform strategies for governance design? It posits that demand rationales can be coupled with broad insights from theories of global governance to initiate governance proposals and discussions surrounding these emerging technologies. It proposes a preliminary framework that considers how the constellation of functional, strategic, and normative demand rationales for climate engineering technologies can inform the appropriate control mechanisms and degree of polycentricity in governance design."

"Solar radiation management by stratospheric aerosol injection (SRM‐SAI) has been proposed as a possible method to counteract anthropogenic global warming, with climate models suggesting it could reduce substantially global temperature and associated impacts. Its effectiveness as simulated by Earth system models (ESMs) exhibits however large uncertainties, implying high risks for natural and human ecosystems.

"Scenarios for limiting warming below 1.5°C require both drastic emissions reductions measures and the large-scale deployment of negative emissions technologies. Both of these measures carry the potential for major unintended consequences, particularly as we do not yet understand the full implications of negative emissions technologies. Historically, the unintended consequences of climate mitigation efforts have disproportionately been borne by already marginalised communities, and hence there is a potential for the unintended consequences of measures taken to limit warming below 1.5°C to result in environmental injustice. This article argues that environmental and climate justice concerns need to be accounted for in the design of policy measures for keeping warming below 1.5°C, and outlines policy guidance for safeguarding against unintended consequences."

"But a group of geneticists from Harvard are hoping to change this by cloning living elephant cells that contain a small component of synthesised mammoth DNA. They claim that reintroducing such mammoth-like creatures to Arctic tundra environments could help stop the release of greenhouse gases from the ground and reduce future emissions as temperatures rise due to climate change. While this might sound like a far-fetched idea, scientists have actually been experimenting with something similar for over 20 years."

About the Temple
Maya Devi Temple, Haridwar is consecrated to Goddess Maya. The temple is nestled in the sacred town of Haridwar of Uttarakhand state. It is believed that the heart and the navel of Goddess Sati were dropped at the site where the temple stands today and thus it is regarded as a Shakti Peeth. Goddess Maya is the Adhisthatri Devi of Haridwar. She has three-head and four-arm. She is believed to be an incarnation of Shakti. In ancient times, Haridwar was known as Mayapuri in veneration to Maya Devi. The temple is known as a Siddh Peetha which means it is a place of worship where all the desires get fulfilled. Maya Devi Temple is one among the three Siddha Peeths in Haridwar. Other two Siddh Peeths in Haridwar are Chandi Devi and Mansa Devi.
Temple Idol
Temple History
The history of Maya Devi temple dates back to the 11th century and temple has an ancient glory associated with it. It is one of the three temples that belong to an ancient era in Haridwar which is still intact. The other two temples are Narayana-Shila temple and Bhairava temple. The inner shrine of the temple houses the idol of Goddesses Maya in the center, Goddess Kali on the left, and Devi Kamakhya on the right. The shrine also has idols of two other goddesses who are a form of Shakti. The temple is among 53 Siddha-Peeth and also among Panch-Teertha in Haridwar.
Temple Legend
According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva's wife Sati set herself on fire as she couldn't bear the insult of Lord Shiva by her father. When Lord Shiva came to know that Sati killed herself to keep his honor, he became very angry. An enraged Shiva performed Taandav by carrying the dead body of Sati. To pacify Lod Shiva, Lord Vishnu cut the dead body of Sati into 52 parts by his Sudarshana Chakra which fell on the Earth and became holy spots to pray to the Goddess named Shakti Peeths. The temple is associated with its religious beliefs and myths. The fables of bygone eras are held in high regards by the pilgrims visiting the temple. Hindus believe that it was at this site of Maya Devi temple where the naval and the heart of Sati were dropped.
The festivals of Chaitra Navratri, Ashwin Navratri and Deepavali are celebrated in a grand manner.

I was reading a book on computer architecture for my exam and came across this table. I understand all the columns except for the ratio of means. How is the ratio of means of 10 and 100 become 91.8. I would really appreciate if someone can provide me with an explanation.

A: The column "ratios of means" is the ratio of arithmetic means of the reference and of the machines: so the first is "reference1"/"machine1" (5050/55), the second is "reference1"/"machine2" (5050/100.5), the third is "reference2/machine1" and so on.

Military officials offer few details in Pearl Harbor fatal shooting; motive still unknown

Rear Admiral Robb Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii, (at the podium) discusses Wednesday's fatal shooting at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard during a news conference this morning at the Federal Fire Department headquarters near Pearl Harbor.
Top Navy and law enforcement officials expressed their condolences to the families of the victims of Wednesday's shooting at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard that left three dead, but provided few details during a news conference this morning about the incident which remains under investigation.
While the media has reported that the shooter, Gabriel Antonio Romero, 22, had been facing disciplinary action, Navy officials refused to comment on those reports other than to say it was something they were investigating.
Romero was on active duty when he opened fire on civilian workers using his service weapon at about 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday. Within about 23 seconds, Romero had shot three people before turning his gun on himself, said officials.

He was armed for his job standing watch and providing security for the submarine USS Columbia, which is at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for maintenance, officials said.
Romero died at the scene. Two of his victims died, while another remains in stable condition.
Evidence has been collected from Romero's vehicle and barrack's room, said Rear Admiral Robert Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii.
He said investigators are looking at his electronic media to try to determine a motive for the shooting.
Those killed in the shooting include:
>> Vincent J. Kapoi, 30 of Hawaii. Kapoi was a metals inspector apprentice at the shipyard
>> Roldan A. Agustin, 49, of Hawaii. Agustin was a shop planner at the shipyard
"I'd like to express my sincere condolences to the family members and friends of the deceased after Wednesday's tragic events," said Kenji Price, U. S. Attorney for the District of Hawaii. "I know that this atrocity will leave scars in the hearts of many. Our Navy, the state of Hawaii and the country as a whole will be left with memories of innocent lives lost and a state of emptiness that will permeate our hearts."
Military officials said there's no evidence of domestic terrorism in the shooting.
A shooting today at the Naval Air Station Pensacola is being investigated as possible terrorism. Authorities said that Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Saudi military and an aviation student at the Florida base, opened fire in a classroom this morning, killing three people and injuring several more. The shooter also died in the attack.

It was Old Stuff Day on 2nd March, the day when you can be nostalgic about your old toys and trinkets from when you were a child. But it should also be a day for throwing out stuff that you really shouldn't be holding onto any longer. Your bedroom is a great place to start, as there have been studies that suggest that cluttered and untidy bedrooms affect how you sleep.
So in honour of Old Stuff Day, we've come up with 5 things you can definitely chuck out of your bedroom without a second thought. Once you've done it, you'll feel much better and you'll be able to sleep easier at night.
If you've got old technology hanging around, get rid of it now. There's no need to hold on to your first generation iPod or your broken TV that's not worked for years. Often we put up with these things in our bedrooms because we don't know where else to put them. But it would be better to call a waste removal company for larger electronics who will be able to dispose of them responsibly.
Are you really going to read War and Peace again? Probably not. If you're holding on to books you're never going to read again, and possibly books you're never ever going to read, it's time to let them go. Pass them on to friends who will enjoy them or give them to a charity shop.
If you've paid your bills, there's no need to keep them lying around your bedroom. File them away or shred them once you've paid them.
If you've got lots of read magazines in your bedroom, recycle them now. You don't need clutter in your bedroom as it can affect your sleep. A much tidier bedroom will make you feel better and sleep better.
If you've been using the same pillows for the past year, you should replace them. They can be a breeding ground for dust mites and bacteria, so it's a good idea to change your pillows at least once a year.

Ryder Cup memories and their long-lasting legacy
The arrival of October is always a special time of year here at Celtic Manor as we celebrate the anniversary of one on the most memorable weeks in our history.
It's hard to believe it is now seven years ago that we hosted an unforgettable Ryder Cup that was described as "the greatest ever" by no less a judge than Phil Weaver, the Chairman of the Professional Golfers' Association.
A decade of building the course and facilities as well as planning for the influx of 50,000 spectators a day from all over the world was almost undone by the weather but, thanks to a superhuman effort from our greenkeeping team, assisted by their industry colleagues from across the UK, we managed to defy the elements and bring the match to the most thrilling conclusion.
What an amazing atmosphere there was throughout the four days but especially in the closing stages as it all came down to the final match with the scores level. Anyone who was there will never forget the roar that greeted Graeme McDowell's crucial putt on the 16th green and the scenes of utter jubilation when he clinched victory for Europe on the next green.
We could not really have scripted it any better than that and the fact that the torrential rain had caused the match to overrun into Monday for the first time actually gave us and many of the event partners and sponsors an extra day to entertain our clients and build business relationships. Our "bonus day", as Sir Terry Matthews called it!
The legacy of that Magic Monday is still very much in evidence here and, without a doubt, the Ryder Cup put both Celtic Manor and Wales on the map as a golfing destination.
Hardly a day passes without someone telling our golf team at the Twenty Ten Course that they were here in October 2010 and cannot wait to play the course where all the drama unfolded, or that they watched it on TV and have been looking forward all this time to see the holes for themselves.
We try to give all our visiting golfers a special experience in keeping with those special memories and they are given a tour of the clubhouse where the players had their team rooms, lingering on the many fantastic images we have of the action that took place. They also get the chance to change at the same lockers used by the likes of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods and we still have the name plaques of all the players and vice captains from 2010.
It all adds up to an experience that is more than just a round of golf and, even though few will be able to match the heroics of McDowell and his team-mates, they all relish the challenge of playing the same holes. The feedback that we receive tells us they also feel like they have been treated like a VIP player for the day, which is exactly how it should be.
People travel a long way from all corners of the UK and from all over the world to tread the same fairways as the Ryder Cup stars and it's a unique selling point for us that we can count ourselves among a very select group of Ryder Cup venues.
Another USP is that we have not just the Twenty Ten but three championship courses in all and the quality and condition of the Roman Road and Montgomerie layouts means we can reach out to those golfers coming from far afield and offer them a choice of golf courses to play and the opportunity to stay overnight or for a longer golf break.
We know a lot of our golfers like coming in groups and playing mini "Ryder Cups" of their own so what better way to play a two or three day team tournament with and against your friends than over a different course each day at a Ryder Cup venue.
While we are building a new venue at ICC Wales to attract a different type of major event to Wales on a regular basis in the near future, golf is still a very important part of what we do here at Celtic Manor and the success of the Ryder Cup and the Team Wales approach that delivered it is something we are trying to replicate when we welcome the world to ICC Wales.
Here's to many more successful international events here in Wales!

ATLANTA – Oregon finished with 12 hits on its way to an 11-2 win over No. 8 nationally-seeded Georgia Tech Saturday afternoon at Shirley Mewborn Field.
The Ducks Jessica Moore surrendered a pair of runs in the first inning but set down the final 13 batters to lead her team into Sunday's regional final game.
The Yellow Jackets got on the board early, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning. Jen Yee, who walked to lead off the game, scored her 90th run of the season to move in to fourth place on the NCAA all-time list for runs scored in a season.
The Ducks responded in the bottom of the first behind a two-out grand slam by Kaylan Howard, her ninth long ball of the season.
Oregon broke open the game with a run in the second and three more in the third inning, including a Sam Pappas two-run double. The Ducks did not look back as they cruised to the victory.
Oregon moves into Sunday's regional championship game beginning at 1 p.m. and will face the winner of tonight's game five. Georgia Tech will meet the winner over the Auburn-Jacksonville State elimination game tonight at 5:30 p.m.

Q: For $y=x^3$, tangent at A meets the curve again at B. Gradient at B is $k$ times the gradient at A. I want to understand my mistake, other answers are welcome but I'll only accept the one which the one which points out where and why I went wrong.

For $y=x^3$, tangent at A meets the curve again at B. Gradient at B is $k$ times the gradient at A.Then the number of integral values of k is:

Let the point $A$ be $(a, a^3)$ and $B~(b, b^3)$.
$$y'=3x^2$$
So equation of tangent at $A$.
$$\frac{b^3-a^3}{b-a}=3a^2$$
$$\frac{(b-a)(b^2 + a^2 + ab)}{b-a}=3a^2$$
$$b^2-2a^2+ab=0$$
Therefore $b=-2a$ I ignored the repeated root $b=a$ as it is the same point.
So we get one integral value of $k=4$. However the number of integral values of $k$ has been given as 3.
What's wrong with my method?

A: Your working is fine.
We find that $b=-2a$, of which the gradient at the point is $3(-2a)^2=4(3a^2)$.
For a sanity check, consider the point $(1,1)$, the tangent is $y=\color{blue}3x-2$ which intersect the graph at $(-2,-8)$. The gradient at that point is $3(-2)^2=4(\color{blue}3)$. The answer is $4$.

Historically, Friulian cinema makes its appearance at the start of the '80s, with Maria Zef by Vittorio Cottafavi, a film inspired by the novel written by Paola Drigo in 1936 bearing the same title. The film tells a story that Vittorio Cottafavi had intended to bring to life for many years. Set in Carnia, Maria Zef shows the tragedy of a young woman who lives in the mountains with her uncle and her younger sister and who ends up killing him to defend herself and her sister from his clutches. Writer Siro Angeli played a key role in the production of the film as not only was he the scriptwriter but also skilfully interpreted the protagonist. The film was broadcast many times by the regional RAI and presented at several international festivals and events.
Shot in 16 mm, then blown up to 35 mm, today the film is unable to be screened. In fact, the copies left are discoloured and also most of the sound is ruined. To make sure not to lose this heritage of our cinematography, a group of cultural entities – the Cineteca of Friuli in Gemona, il C.E.C. (Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche) in Udine and Cinemazero in Pordenone – have been pursuing for years the idea of restoring old films involving other entities and obviously RAI that owns the related rights. The project also envisages the distribution of film in DVD along with a book that will be edited by the critic Sergio Grmek Germani.
In the same years of Maria Zef other works were produced, both amateurial and professional, such as I varès volût vivi by Pittini or the Friulian versions of 1986 of the trilogy Cuitrileture part prime, seconde e tierce (versions enriched with new introductory shootings) by Marcello De Stefano, one of the directors that are most sensitive to our reality, who reproposed the Friulian issue in all its facets through the essay-film.
Before then, the few films produced in Friuli were all in Italian. These include La sentinella della patria by Chino Ermacora and, above all, Gli ultimi by Vito Pandolfi and David Maria Turoldo. A fundamental boost to our film production surely came from the Mostre dal Cine Furlan, a biennial festival created in 1988 by the Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche of Udine with the objective of stimulating and spreading our cinema. Thanks to this event, in the '90s there was a qualitative and quantitative growth in products: from feature films to documentaries, from experimental films to cartoons.
The seventh art is involving an increasing number of professionals and enthusiasts. Among these we can mention Lauro Pittini, Lorenzo Bianchini and Massimo Garlatti-Costa as regards fiction; Benedetto Parisi, Giancarlo Zannier as regards fairy tales and folk stories; Dorino Minigutti and Renato Calligaro as regards teaching and artistic films; Remigio Romano, Carlo Della Vedova and still Parisi as regards documentaries. In conclusion, high professionalism is developing in the field of cinematography in Friuli, though there are still too many structural and organizational drawbacks that slow down its growth.
Friulian language cinema and other visual arts
The birth of the Friulian cinema can be said to date from 1981 with Vittorio Cottafavi's Maria Zef, a film based on Paola Drigo's 1936 novel of the same title. A key figure in the project was Siro Angeli, who not only wrote the screenplay but also played the lead magnificently.
Other outstanding films were made around the same time Maria Zef was being filmed, such as Lauro Pittini's I varès volût vivi, or the Friulian version of Controlettura (Cuintrileture, with the addition of new material), by Marcello De Stefano.
De Stefano also wrote a screenplay in the Friulian language far earlier, in 1954-55, when he was still attending the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, well aware that language is a key component in creating a people's sense of identity and is not merely an expressive, outer sheath. So it was that between 1981 and 1984 he made Grafiz tun orizont on the figure of the blessed Luigi Scrosoppi, the first film on a religious subject in our cinema. In 1986 he decided to make a Friulian-language version of the trilogy Controlettura – Una linfa che scorre – Uomo, macchina, uomo, which became Cuintrileture part prime, seconde e tierce, his most important work on the meaning and values of an ethnic group, and on what it can give the world of today. Marcello De Stefano's is an unusual cinema, a cinema halfway between a documentary and a feature film, a genre he described as a "docufilm". It is an aesthetic exploration of new means of expression; it does not confine its content to the pure record of reality, but attempts to convey an original view of the world to the audience and prompt discussion and reflection.
In order to promote films shot in marilenghe (mother tongue – Friulian), Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche – CEC in Udine, decided in 1988 to organize Mostre dal Cine Furlan, a festival to be held every two years to showcase everything produced in this field and to stimulate fresh creativity in the cinema.
It is thanks to this event above all that there was a constant improvement in the quality and quantity of films produced in the 1990s, from feature films to documentaries, from experimental films to cartoons. This was the context that generated a number of filmmakers who went on to make themselves known to the cinema-going public, such as Lauro Pittini, Lorenzo Bianchini, Massimo Garlatti-Costa, Benedetto Parisi, Giancarlo Zannier, Dorino Minigutti, Renato Calligaro, Remigio Romano, Carlo Della Vedova and many more besides.
While film production was largely amateur in the early stages, it became increasingly professional over the years, to the point where some of the filmmakers mentioned above became full-time directors and renowned producers. This professionalization bore its first fruit at the turn of the century. In 1999 Lorenzo Bianchini made the medium-length film I dincj de lune, the first example of a horror film in the Friulian language (Bianchini returned to the genre two years later with his highly-successful Lidrîs cuadrade di trê), while Lauro Pittini shot a biopic on the writer Pieri Menis (Pieri Menis, ricuarts di frut).
In the same year Carlo Della Vedova and Luca Peresson made the first documentary in the Farcadice series (encompassing five films: Colonia Caroya, Charleroi, Umkomaas, Toronto and Italia), which tell the story of Friuli emigration to all corners of the world. In 2000 Massimo Garlatti-Costa shot the comedy Buris, libars di scugnî vignî, followed in 2004 by the documentary Friûl, viaç te storie. From that point on, documentaries would constitute the lion's share of film productions.
Indeed, the years after 2004 saw a great flowering of documentary film making, both classical and creative. Besides Massimo Garlatti-Costa's Friûl, viaç te storie already mentioned, Dorino Minigutti delved into archive material in 2004 to make his Nûfcent, videosclesis dal Friûl, a collage of ten mini-stories, each of which representing a decade of the past century, which evoke the stories and political events that have had an important impact in Friuli, sometimes tragically. Minigutti gathered and selected the most significant and unusual archive material and incorporated commentary by means of a special editing technique that retells our land's history in a completely fresh way, highlighting both times of hardship and times of laughter, while avoiding all trace of rhetoric or nostalgia.
The film was shot in two parts, Nûfcent, videosclesis dal Friûl (part 1), which includes the first five episodes covering the early part of the century, made in 2004, and a second part made in 2006. Dorino Minigutti's film won the 2007 "Mario Quargnolo" prize, a prize awarded by Mostre dal Cine Furlan.
In 2005 Stiefin Morat and Giorgio Cantoni introduced a strong experimental note in their documentary on the river Tagliamento and the people who live along its banks. Entitled Mugulis, the film won first prize at the 2005 Mostre dal Cine Furlan. Stefano Morandini chose a decidedly classical style to record a tradition that is still keenly observed in the mountain region of Carnia, but which was present throughout Friuli at least until the 1950s – namely the use of tree frogs and wooden clappers (instead of bells) to commemorate Christ's Passion. Entitled Crasulas a Enemonç, was highly commended and won the Mario Quargnolo prize that same year.
The other great documentary series was Farcadice by Carlo Della Vedova and Luca Peresson. The saga began in 1999 with Farcadice – Diari di viaç, Colonia Caroya, Argjentine, continuing in 2006 in its aim of recording the various phases in Friulian emigration to all parts of the world with Farcadice, diari di viaç: Charleroi, Belgjiche, which focused on one of the most tragic events associated with it. Many people left Friuli to seek work in Belgium, only to encounter sickness and disaster in that country's coal mines.
There were several other excellent documentaries made in 2006, such as Sul troi par Lucau, by Lauro Pittini, which recorded one of the most earnestly observed traditions in Carnia, a pilgrimage whose sacred nature has always been combined with its role as a link between two neighbouring peoples: the Carinthians and the Friulians.
Other films made that year include L'amôr une volte, by Michele Federico, Storiis in cuatri lenghis by Erica Barbiani, Sergio Beltrame and Vera Tomasin (winner of 2007 Quargnolo prize), Gianni Fachin's Furlans di Romania and Irene Rubini's La Fradaie dai Teracîrs e Mosaiciscj Furlans inte Americhe dal Nord. The last of these, which puts the spotlight on the extraordinary centuries-long history, talent and works of Friulian mosaicists and marble decorators around the world, was followed up two years later with La lungje strade dai teracîrs e mosaiciscj furlans in Europe, by the same director.
The year 2007 saw the filming of Farcadice, diari di viaç, Umkomaas, Sud Afriche, the third episode of Farcadice, tracking native Friulians to the South African diaspora, leading into the fourth and final episode, Farcadice, diari di viaç, Toronto, Canada, which makes a considerable leap in time and space to visit the Friulian community in Toronto. Dorino Minigutti returned with a sports documentary entitled Il balon tal cjâf – a series of eight interviews with athletes. A particularly captivating and surprising documentary was a work presented by Fernando Birri, a director with an international reputation, whose poetic multilingual short, Elegia friulana, is a homage to his family's origins.
Last, but not least, Alberto Fasulo's Rumore bianco, is a tribute to the Tagliamento, the lands it snakes through and the men and women who live there. Fasulo comes from San Vito al Tagliamento and is a film director (and now also a producer) who has built a considerable career in the industry over the years. Before directing Cos'è che cambia?, an affectionate depiction of the town of his birth, Fasulo had worked with various filmmakers as director's assistant, assistant cameraman, cameraman and live sound technician. He also helped produce the Friulian-language documentary entitled Babel blu (whose theme is the flag of Friuli), which was directed by Renato Rinaldi.
Another fine documentary that should not be overlooked is Cjavelârs e pelassíers, by Fredo Valla and Nereo Zeper, about the hair-gatherers who used to travel from the Occitan valleys in northwestern Italy (especially from the town of Elva) all the way down the Po valley until they reached Friuli. Fredo Valla is an Occitan documentary filmmaker, whose many projects include conceiving and writing the screenplay for the film E il vento fa il suo giro / E l'aura fai son vir, directed by Giorgio Diritti (2007). He has nurtured a close relationship with Friuli over the years and many of his films have been screened at the various Mostre dal cine Furlan, one edition of which saw him included as a member of the jury.
Autogrill, the first sitcom in the Friulian language was filmed in 2008 and consisted of six episodes directed by Claudia Brugnetta and broadcasted by RAI (Friuli – Venezia Giulia regional broadcasting centre of the Italian national broadcasting company). This was followed in 2014 by Bed & Breakfast, a seven-episode series created and directed by Claudia Brugnetta and written by Barbara Bregant and Federico Scridel.
Visins di cjase, directed by Marco Londero and Giulio Venier, both from Gemona, was made in 2012. The screenplay is by Renzo Brollo and was commended at the Concors par Tescj Cinematografics competition. Around the same time, Alessandro Di Pauli and Tommaso Pecile began to give concrete form to their project Felici ma Furlans, another sitcom that was extremely successful with the general public, especially online.
The link between music and cinema has been reinforced over the years thanks to Marco D'Agostini's recent documentary films: JNK, oltri la ultime frontiere (2013) and the various films dedicated to Suns Europe, which have been shot since 2015, when the first edition of the European Festival of Performing Arts in Minority Languages was held. Besides documenting what occurs during the event, which every year at the beginning of December turns Udine and Friuli into the Europe's multilingual and creative hub, the documentary also records the views of the artists taking part. This is an important example of what it means today to use one's mother tongue in an artistic context.
It is worth concluding this overview by mentioning the latest significant docufilms. This category certainly includes Massimo Garlatti – Costa's Missus (2017) and Predis (2018), which examine the still largely neglected "Glesie Furlane" movement and its role in the struggle for Friulian autonomy.
TV, online and audiovisual productions
Productions designed specifically for a television audience or to be put online deserve to be considered separately. These projects were developed from 2008 onwards and cover a wide variety of styles (ranging from sitcoms to cartoons) and are aimed at different target audiences. These include: two sitcoms produced directly by the RAI regional broadcasting studio, Autogrill (2008) and Bed & Breakfast (2014), by Claudia Brugnetta; two works by Massimo Garlatti, Suns and Ator, on the culture and music scenes in Friuli; Giorgio Cantoni's series entitled +Sklet, made between 2005 and 2015; the comedy series Felici ma Furlans, by Alessandro Di Pauli and Tommaso Pecile (first season 2010-2012, second season 2014), which was extremely well received by viewers, especially those watching online; INT/ART, three series of documentaries on young artists from Friuli who use the Friulian language in their works (music, visual arts, theatre, dance), a project conceived and created by Dorino Minigutti and Giorgio Cantoni between 2016 and 2018.
Added to these are the documentaries on Suns Europe, the European Festival of Performing Arts in Minority Languages, made by Marco D'Agostini. Starting in 2015, each film records the impressions of the artists taking part to each edition and is broadcasted by the local RAI studios in Trento and Trieste as part of their Ladin and Friulian language programming.
The most recent TV drama is Friûl Revolution (2015). This mini-series of five episodes lasting twenty minutes each was devised by the comedy trio I Cjastrons and directed by Marco d'Agostini. Shooting covered some thirty different locations in Friuli, from Crostis to Palmanova, from Udine to Dignano, and saw 150 non-professional "actors" performing over a period of forty days.
Children's television is also catered to with Âf blu (2015), a cartoon conceived, written, put to music, acted, drawn and animated entirely by Friulians. The pilot episode was created by Centro Teatro Animazione e Figure in Gorizia, in collaboration with ARLeF. In 2017 ARLeF also lent its support to a three-year project involving the Tucker film production company. Lastly, cartoons in Friulian – translations of works produced in Italian or English – are another interesting niche. These include: Pimpa, the Friulian version of a famous cartoon created by Francesco Tullio Altan and translated into Friulian for the regional RAI studios by Elio Bartolini; Berto Lôf, a translation of Silver's Lupo Alberto, created by Elio Bartolini and Giancarlo Deganutti for the regional RAI TV station; and Omenuts, the Friulian version of Mattel-Fischer Price's cartoon Little People, made by Massimo Garlatti-Costa with ARLeF's support. The most recent of these works (2018) is the Friulian-language version of the cartoon Tui e Tuie, which tells the story of two frolicking kittens. The original was a Russian production and the translation into Friulian was undertaken by Belka Media, the film being made by Raja Films, with the support of ARLeF.
Educational videos and documentaries
The first experiment of educational video is Videoscais, a production dating back to 1991 promoted by the Chair of the Faculty of Modern Languages of the University of Udine and consisting of a collection of episodes featuring the members of a family. The video that is directed by Giancarlo Velliscig, was created as part of a bilingual Italian-Friulian educational project. Two years later, in the same framework, Renato Calligaro produced Lis striis di Gjermanie, a video taken from the story by Caterina Percoto with the same title, in which the artist creatively combines his drawings with actors in the flesh, fantasy and reality.
In 1995 Dorino Minigutti produced Bielscrivint, the story of Miute, a little girl that gets lost in the "world of writing" and escapes thanks to the help of an Agane (an undine, a mythological figure). Dorino Minigutti is a producer of documentaries and feature films, especially those dealing with social issues (disability, drug addiction, Aids) and is also a scriptwriter. In 1999 he produced Intrics, a fantasy story of wizards, elves, pixies and children, all captivated by a machine that generates proverbs and nursery rhymes, whilst the ogre Mastiefumate does everything in his power to stop it. For the same project, in 1997 Giuseppe Bevilacqua and Mara Udine had produced Linea dreta, linias dretas taken from a story by poet Leonardo Zanier who played himself in this "fantasy plot around a brief story set in Carnia".
If we also consider La sentinella della patria (1927) we could probably state the very first form of Friulian cinema is represented by documentaries. And documentary production played an important part also later on. In 1996 Marco Rossitti (lecturer of history of cinema) produced Il liutâr (The lute-maker) a sort of poetic tribute to this noble profession that is still practised in our territory. In any case, already back in 1988, Antonio Magliocchetti had produced Jo o soi stade dome une volte al cine, an interview-film that won the second prize at the Mostre. Carlo Della Vedova and Luca Peresson, in 1999, explored the reality of the Friulian community of Colonia Caroya (Argentina) through Farcadice (also broadcast by Ladin television) and, in the same year Benedetto Parisi – who, in its production in Italian had canvassed the reality of Roms and the new immigration – depicted in Tony the humanity of an unusual character, a road artist called Tony Zavatta. In 2001, the same author produced Gnovis dal Brasîl based on the figure and life choices of a Friulian missionary who lives in one of Brazil's poorest areas.
For the sake of completeness, worthy of notice is La fontana di Bosplans (1997) by Michele Marcolini and Vuere dome di ricuarts by Gianni Fachin (award-winning at the 7th edition of the Mostre).
The works by Remigio Romano that, through filmed image, reconstructs a bygone world, should deserve special mention. In Une zornade a seselâ (1993), he reproduces field labour as it was performed back in the 30s and 40s and, in Il purcit (1997) through the words of Mauro Corona, he recalled the meaning and importance of this animal for rural families. In 1997 Massimo Garlatti-Costa produced Il piligrin, a piece of work halfway through experimentation, provocation and fun. In previous years, the director who now lives and works in Great Britain, had produced with the "Slapagnots" group (Roberto Copetti, Massimiliano Lancerotto and Fabio Venuti) a screwball comedy film entitled Tele Frico (1993) and later, two other research works entitled La sielte (1994) and Precarie Armonie (1995). But Garlatti produced his most complete work in 2001, Buris, libars di scugnî vignî, a film that was extremely successful in a commercial cinema theatre. It is a 38-minute comedy that depicts an imaginary village of Friuli where, to overcome the economic crisis, an unemployed person sets up a pornographic film production company that quickly becomes one of the leaders of the film industry worldwide.
Buris opens the doors to a new season of the Friulian cinema, a cinema that starts feeling ready to overcome a merely local vision and capable of representing the most diverse situations and genres. But, as we will see later on, this leap in quality is not always totally free from ambiguities. In this context, in 1999 Lorenzo Bianchini shot I dincj de lune, the first horror film in Friulian. The film, featuring a style that will become the trademark of its author, combines typical aspects and backgrounds of the territory and elements that characterise the classic horror genre. In 2001, Bianchini produced Lidrîs cuadrade di trê, a full-length film featuring three high-school students. After realising they made too many mistakes in a test and fearing they might fail, the three students decide to break into the school at night to replace their papers before the teacher corrects them. But unexpected events occur that night and the students find out things they weren't supposed to know. The film was screened several times, always reaping a lot of success, and was also reviewed by a French magazine. Bianchini also completed and presented another of his films, Custodes bestiae, where, however, the dialogues in Friulian only feature in a small part of the film.
In any case, in the new context referred to above, we have the feeling that the use of the language is often linked to an instrumental understanding, i.e. when the language is used being worried about "being faithful to a specific reality" rather than seeing it as a communication code, with all that that choice could entail. In other words, we are under the impression that the author is facing an "object" that does not belong to him" but "only belongs to the reality he is illustrating". Paradoxically, if on one hand there is a flourishing of contents, if one considers genres, if one examines new settings, on the other hand the language remains chained to a self-referential dimension, condemned to remain a simple expressive ornament rather than a communication vehicle.
The years from 1999 to 2001 represent a rather exceptional time for our film production in terms of both quantity and quality. In fact, the films mentioned earlier on, such as Pieri Menis, ricuarts di frut; Farcadice; Tony; Lidrîs cuadrade di trê; Gnovis dal Brasîl; Buris, libars di scugnî vignî, are from that period. But also works like La muart cui çucui by Giorgio Milocco and Andrea Nardon (1999), a 22-minute film that, playing on a dark black-and-white, radiates extraordinary expressive power. It tells the story of a youngster's first day at work. An isolated factory in the middle of uncultivated fields, an unhealthy work environment, a tyrannous employer set the frame of his misadventures, a sort of nightmare, that the young worker must undergo. The film is both fantastic and symbolic (the old lady with the clogs that the young boy meets, the flock of crows, a factory that from the outside looks like an abandoned building) and also realistic (the world of work and its machines, its rules and its furious pace).
In 2001, director Manlio Roseano directs a film taken from a novel by Sergio Cecotti, Il tierç lion: a detective film containing metaphysical elements, another example of genre films. However, Il tierç lion, was shot in 16 mm film and in Italian, and only after was it dubbed in Friulian and distributed in Betacam format in that version. The last edition of the Mostre (2003) awarded a prize to the feature film by Remigio Romano Âstu mai pensât di sposâti…in Comun? a parody of the "Promessi sposi" ("The Betrothed") set in today's time (that will also be broadcast by the regional RAI); it highlights Cuatri cjantons par une "francje" by Carlo Damasco (featuring Giuseppe Battiston; for a story written by Giovanna Zorzenon which won a prize at the Concors par Tescj Cinematografics del 2002); Lûs distudadis by Nicola Fraccalaglio and Thomas Marcuzzi and finally, as regards the section dedicated to children, La roie di Cussignà, the film by Liviana Calabrò.
To conclude this path we cannot but mention the film by Christiane Rorato Vuerîrs de gnot, su lis olmis dai Benandants, presented at the d'Essai cinema in Udine at the end of 2003. Drawing upon the book by historian Carlo Ginzburg, the documentary is a research on what is left today of the Benandanti, the "good wizards" that during the XVI century were tried by the Inquisition and, more generally, on the traditions that are still alive in contemporary Friuli.
Mostre dal Cine Furlan
1988 undoubtedly represents an important moment for the development of our cinema, a breakthrough that will give new possibilities to local production. In fact, in that year the CEC of Udine conceived and organised the Mostre dal Cine Furlan, a biennial festival, a competition for Friulian films. It is a space open to filmmakers that have, in this way, the possibility of disseminating their work and an appointment that intends to be (and will be) a way of stimulating the creation and development of a new cinematography. The first edition was a sort of "experiment" with the aim of exploring the availability of cinema professionals and enthusiasts to produce films in Friulian and evaluate the response of the public. The attendance rate was such a surprise that there was great hope for the future and, edition after edition, we witnessed higher quality in the works presented, greater interest by the public and film lovers. Thus, the Mostre will slowly become a breeding ground of new authors among whom worthy of notice are: Lauro Pittini, Benedetto Parisi, Giancarlo Zannier, Dorino Minigutti, Paolo Cantarutti, Massimo Garlatti-Costa, Remigio Romano, Carlo Della Vedova and many more.
The second edition of the festival (1991) was won by a short film by Lauro Pittini entitled I varès volût vivi. The film, shot in Super8 in 1981 and then transferred onto electronic means, narrates a true story, the drama of an emigrant who returns to his homeland after having worked in a mine for many years. Now old and suffering from silicosis, the protagonist questions himself on the meaning of life and on the reason for so much suffering. The film draws its originality and strength from the ability of the director to communicate the dramatic tension of the story and especially because the character interprets himself and what he recounts is the life he truly lived. Another interesting film presented in the same edition is worthy of notice: Cjossul by Michele De Mattio, a short film that, through an extraordinary black and white, mixing fiction, documentary and formal research, outlines the story of a peculiar character.
Here we must say that experimentation started soon to appear on Friulian screens. In fact, still in 1991, two works of pure stylistic and formal research will be seen such as Rivoluzion planetarie by Paolo Cantarutti and L'omp by Daniela Toneatto.
In 1993 Lauro Pittini produces a feature film entitled Prime di sere, a film inspired by the novel bearing the same title by Carlo Sgorlon. Shot in Betacam, without any particular subsidies, Prime di sere represents the summary of Pittini's entire film production: films that dig into the characters to explore their psychologies, films that question themselves on human dramas and the meaning of life. The film tells the story of Liseo, a man convicted of manslaughter is released for good behaviour after years spent in prison. Morally and socially devastated, Liseo will try to reintegrate into society in every possible way. However, he will have to face people's prejudices, the difficulties of finding a job, the mistrust and sometimes the wickedness of man. Abandoned by his relatives, Liseo will find abode in a room rented to him by a widow with a child. To him, that woman and her son represent what he has never had: family and understanding. Unlike the novel, the film does not actually end, leaving the door ajar for hope.
Born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, in 1961, Lauro Pittini started shooting films at 15 in Super8. In 1984 he collaborated with the shooting and the script for the production of the film entitled Pinsîrs par dôs Istâts by Rino Gubiani (winner of the 1st edition of the Mostre). In addition to the aforesaid films, in 1983 he produced Colôrs di vite, in 1996 he was co-director of L'ereditât and in 1999 he shot Pieri Menis, ricuarts di frut (reported at the VI edition of the Mostre and seen by hundreds of students in schools). His works have been presented and obtained awards also in other European countries. Furthermore, he collaborated with RAI and wrote two works that were awarded prizes at the Concors par senegjaturis.
In 1994, Benedetto Parisi produced Dopli funerâl, a folk tale, where the drawings by Laura Feruglio accompany the narrating voice of an old lady from Preone, recorded by anthropologist Enza Sina. Parisi has started to transpose legends and fairy tales into films since 1988, when he presented Cui isal content in chist mont? on the screens of the Udine festival, a film produced using videographics. The short film won the first prize then. In 1991 he directed two films: Une gnot in paradîs in collaboration with Gianfranco Casula, using the same technique, No è cussiença in chist mont, with actors and original masks, and, in 1992, La grape d'aur where he used the reprocessed shapes of the actors. His trip in the world of fairy tales and traditions continued in the following years with the production of La rusignole di Cretelungje (1995) (a Ladin fairy tale translated in Friulian) and three cartoon films – Cua, cua cua tachiti là; Il frut tal sac and Il princip bambin – which he produced in 2001 in collaboration with the students of IPSIA based in Gemona. But Parisi is stimulated by another interest: documentaries. The author has also produced the shortest film in the history of cinema: Integrazion (1997) which only lasts one minute.
Giancarlo Zannier in 1995 directed Benandants, one of the few feature films of our cinema. In this film which deals with good-natured sorcerers that fought evil forces in a dream, Giancarlo Zannier uses different styles and reading levels: the realistic one to stage the witch trials according to historical documents and the fantasy one to represent the spiritual "trips" made by the Benandanti to fight the evil sorcerers. Giancarlo Zannier had started in 1988 by directing Il copari de muart, a tale interpreted by Renata Chiappino, the protagonist of Maria Zef. He will also direct other films such as Il timp dal venc (reported at the 1991 Mostre) and Meni Fari, 40e… Buine!!!, a modern reinterpretation of Meni Fari, shot in 2001.
Concors par Tescj Cinematografics in Lenghe Furlane
The "Concors par Tescj Cinematografics in Lenghe Furlane" was founded in 1996, originally as a competition for screenplays only. However, it was enlarged in 2002 and now includes four sections altogether: one for screenplays, one for film topics, one for essays and a fourth for articles of film criticism. Organized by CEC – Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche, the "Concors" is held every two years, between the "Mostre dal Cine Furlan" events (now called just "Mostre dal Cine"), and each section has its own monetary prize for the winner and special mentions for other outstanding contributions. Prizewinning entries are then published in the Friulian cinema magazine "Segnâi di lûs".
A number of prominent personalities have acted as members of the jury in the event to date, including Elio Bartolini, Luca Vendruscolo, Giorgio Placereani, Giancarlo Deganutti, Xavier Lamuela, Dante Spinotti, Renato Calligaro, Roberto Iacovissi, Alessandra Kersevan, Marcello De Stefano, Giovanni Frau, Mariella Micelli, Daniele Fior, Maurizio Mattiuzza, Max Mauro, Giorgio Cantoni, Stefano Moratto, Gianni Pascoli, Paolo Cantarutti, Massimo Garlatti-Costa, Mario Turello and Donato Toffoli. Overall, 48 screenplays, 14 film topics, 1 piece of film criticism and 7 essays have been presented at the various editions of the "Concors". At each event the CEC publishes and presents a book in Friulian (or in multiple languages) on a cinematographic topic directly or indirectly associated with Friuli. The two books published so far are: Cine e identitâts culturâls, la opare cinematografiche di Marcello De Stefano, by Lara Meroi (Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche, Udine, 2007); Il cine furlan in lenghe furlane, by Sara De Simon (in three languages: Friulian, Italian, English) (Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche, Udine, 2010).

Pitchford aims to build on recent positive displays
Paul Stimpson
Publish date: December 6, 2021
Liam Pitchford was pleased to break his WTT Cup Finals duck by reaching the quarter-finals and is now looking to build on the impressive form he has shown towards the end of this year.
The England No 1 defeated Jang Woojin of South Korea in his first match at the event in Singapore, becoming the first English player to win a match at the season-ending event since Carl Prean in 1996. It meant he went one better than his appearance last year, when he was defeated by Brazil's Hugo Calderano in the first round.
Pitchford was defeated by China's Wang Chuqin in the quarter-finals, missing out on a clash with world No 1 Fan Zhendong in the semis, but feels his performance in Singapore and at the World Championships in Houston immediately beforehand show he is getting back to his pre-pandemic best.
"Results-wise, it's good to get to the quarter-finals, but I didn't think I played as well as the World Championships," he said. "I had an 18-hour flight from LA to Singapore and only a couple of days to recover before playing, so it wasn't ideal, but I still won against the No 12 in the world so I'm not going to say it's a bad thing.
"It was good to win my first match but I didn't feel against Wang, apart from some points, I was really in the match. But it's been a long year and I'm happy my levels improved towards the end of the year, and hopefully I can keep that going into the new year.
"I'm beating players ranked 10-50 in the world consistently and that's what I've got to do to be where I am, but I want to be challenging the top 10 and I know I can."
Pitchford travelled without a coach to Singapore, but it was a timeout when he was 2-1 and 4-2 down which allowed him to refocus and regain control of the match.
He said: "I just said to calm down and play your game. I knew he wasn't in great shape either. I tried to slow the ball down and play with more spin and after the timeout I controlled the game.
"We didn't know this event was happening until quite late on and the World Championships was the focus, so we decided it was better to let Gavin have some time with his family. It was okay – sometimes it's good to be able to discuss what's happened in a game with a coach, but it's also good to be able to play on your own and work things out."

Q: Notify server to client via Web service I made a WebService chat. At the client side I am running a thread to check periodically if there any new messages available.
I want to know is there are any way to notify clients via Web Service.
I found something call 'Solicit Response' related to web service. But I am not aware how it works.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

A: Solicit/Response as well as Notification are Message exchange patterns that are defined by the WSDL specification but are not supported by web services though. They are patterns for the communication of the web service to the web client but due to the ambiguity of the specs they are not addressed by web services. To achieve what you want, your client must expose a web method, which your server will call (acting as a client at this point) to send the result. Essentially you will have 2 peers and your client will be also a web service.


It started with Grumpy Cat. He made us laugh at negativity while "aww-ing" at how adorable he is.
Okay, maybe it didn't begin with a frowning cat (see image below) but he certainly embodied it. Wondering what it is? Refer back to the title of this post. "It" is the glorification of negativity.
And "it" needs to stop.
Gretchen Rubin, who I often quote from because she is so fantastic, describes a great example of this in her novel The Happiness Project. She describes a study in which participants were asked to judge the intelligence of two reviewers based on a review they had each written. One review was positive, while the other was negative.
The majority of people in the study said that the negative reviewer was more intelligent than the positive reviewer, even though both of the reviews were found to be equal.
Why is this? My guess was because negative people seem smarter; perhaps because they have a more "realistic" view of things.
Perhaps a more relatable example of this can be found on the talent competition America's Got Talent. There are four judges: former Spice Girl Mel B, model Heidi Klum, comedian Howie Mandel and radio personality Howard Stern. They give their own thoughts on each performance – which can be anything from juggling on a unicycle to a musician jamming out with a band.
Sometimes, the judges get it right. And sometimes, they get it wrong. However, this depends on the viewers opinion. I would be willing to bet, though, that most people think Howard Stern is the most intelligent. Why? Because he is known for giving more negative comments; plus, he usually dresses in all black. And his last name is Stern.
With people thinking negative equals "smart", it's really difficult to be happy. It's hard to try to see the glass half full instead of half empty, when there are people who seem to be intent on draining your happiness. It's as if being sad is "cool"; it has been glorified, while happiness has almost been "de-glorified".
People think that if you are happy, you're not realistic about your life; whereas if you're sad, you're busy and juggling a lot of important tasks and doing good things with your life. I strongly disagree with this; when you're happy, you are able to get more done – and you can have fun in the process.
I am a firm believer that life is better when you are happy, and I wish more people embodied this message. What do you think? To what extent will we glorify sadness and negativity before people realize life is much better when you are happy?
I bet positive people have less concern than negative people about whether or not they are considered intelligent.
That's right! If you project positivity then that is what you'll get; a positive life.


Bollywood and shaadis are undoubtedly the two lifelines of India which no Indian can exist without. And whenever there is an amalgamation of these two most loved industries of the nation, the end result is a blockbuster.
Be it a Bollywood movie on weddings or a real life wedding in Bollywood style. We just love every bit of it when such a thing happens.


I bought these for my 2008 STI. I went with these sway bars because they came with the support arms. I was concerned with only increasing bar size 4mm from OEM but after ridging with these for few weeks my tiers give out before the car rolls. The quality was good, they have a nice paint coating on them. The directions for installation were adequate but hard to figure out right from left support arms because they were poorly marked. Installation was straight forward, hardest part was braking loss few stubborn bolts. I did have an issue with Whitline because my kit arrived with only 1 busing. Rallysportsdirect was understanding and did all the coordination with Whitline to get the bussing sent to me, but it took over a week. Overall I am happy with these parts and customer service of Rallysportsdirect.
