My twitter pal in Chicago sent me the link to this article called Nice Guys Turning You Off?
After dating a bevy of mean-ish guys I thought I'd give a nice guy a chance but after four dates I didn't want to have sex with him. He was just too blah. Too vanilla. He may have been a dim intellect [a term I'm stealing from Annie because it's so fitting] and just not creative or cultured enough for me.
One of the writer's suggestions is for a creative, fun date.
I have some ideas for Boston:
bowling at Sacco's Bowl Haven in Somerville and then yuppie nachos at Christopher's in Porter Square
walk around Arnold Arboretum then on to see the art at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and tea/coffee at the Gardner Cafe.
brunch in the South End and going to a matinee of a play at BCA or Huntington Theatre
tapas at Tasca in Brighton and then check out a band at Great Scott in Allston
martinis at Bar 10 at the Westin and then take in a play at the Lyric Stage
dinner at The Helmand in Kendall Square and then an indie or foreign film at Kendall Square Cinema

BAT Will Not Hit Target Sales of Safer Alternatives
BAT has cut 10% off its target for revenue from electronic and noncombustible cigarettes, as it forecasts 900 million pounds ($1.2 billion). This loss is a result of recalling a device in the US and a drop in the Japanese demand for Glo. "It's not going to sweep the world as some of our competitors say it will," said Ben Stevens, BAT's financial director, referring to its HnB device.
An article on Bloomberg pointed out that there is uncertainty spreading within the industry as the biggest tobacco companies themselves, can't even agree on where their future lies. Philip Morris International (PMI), has famously predicted that one day the demand for alternative devices will be strong enough for the company to quit producing regular cigarettes all together.
"The long-term investment case at BAT — and for the industry — is opaque compared with what we have come to expect from tobacco," said James Edwardes Jones, an analyst at RBC Europe who rates the stock underperform.
The Disruption to Tobacco Farming in Developing Countries
On the other hand, another sector of the tobacco industry is also struggling. Due to the ongoing drop in smoking, millions of tobacco farmers in poor countries will be losing their livelihoods. An article on The Hill, points out that measures should be taken to avoid disaster and help turn tobacco farming businesses into non-tobacco agricultural ones.
"This disruption, if managed properly, could be an opportunity for African farmers to switch to non-tobacco agricultural products and increase the global food supply," read the article.
With the current world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, out of which 2.2 billion will live in Africa, the world is not going to be able to meet the future food demand. For this to be met, about 50% more food, feed, and biofuel will need to be produced, which would need an investment of $265 billion per year. Therefore, if former tobacco farmers were to be trained, equipped and supported to switch to farming food, rather than tobacco, it would be a win win situation for everyone.

LOS ANGELES — Talk about bad weather.
A NASA spacecraft found itself hurtling through an unexpected cosmic ice storm during a recent flight past a comet, but came out unharmed, scientists reported Thursday.
Speeding at 27,000 mph, the Deep Impact craft flew within 435 miles of comet Hartley 2 on Nov. 4 — only the fifth time a comet had been viewed up close.
New images from the flyby revealed a blizzard of white specks surrounding the nearly 1.5-mile-long (2-kilometer-long) peanut-shaped comet.
Space news from NBCNews.com
Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
"Those are not stars. Those are all chunks of ice," said chief investigator Michael A'Hearn of the University of Maryland.
The ice cloud surrounding Hartley 2 was driven by jets of carbon dioxide shooting out from the comet's interior, scientists said. As the carbon dioxide spewed out, it carried with it tons of ice ranging from the size of golf balls to basketballs.
Though Deep Impact was a safe distance away, it apparently got hit nine times by icy particles weighing less than a snowflake. The craft was not damaged, said project manager Tim Larson of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which managed the $42 million mission.
Comets are considered time capsules of the solar system, icy leftovers from when it formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Studying comets could shed light on how Earth and the planets formed and evolved.
That the comet ice storm was created by carbon dioxide jets came as a surprise to researchers, who said it could change the way they think about these nomadic icy bodies.
Carbon dioxide "was never thought to be the main driver of comet activity. That role has been reserved for water," said astronomer David Jewitt of the University of California at Los Angeles, who had no part in the mission.
Since the encounter, mission scientists have been analyzing the flood of data coming down at a rate of 3,000 images a day. They have yet to determine when the ice storm began and how long it will last.
Hartley 2 is the second comet visited by Deep Impact. In 2005, it set off cosmic fireworks when it released a probe that crashed into comet Tempel 1. The $333 million collision gave scientists their first peek inside a comet.
Deep Impact will continue observing Hartley 2 until Thanksgiving as NASA decides whether to recycle it for a third mission. The craft does not have enough fuel to perform another flyby.

De Nittis exhibition at Palazzo dei Diamanti
De Nittis and the revolution of the gazeDecember 1, 2019 - April 13, 2020
Palazzo dei Diamanti dedicates an exhibition to Giuseppe De Nittis (1846-1884), a leading figure, along with Boldini, of the Parisian scene of the late nineteenth century. The exhibition is the result of a relationship of collaboration and cultural exchange established between two similar civic institutions in terms of history, nature and vocation: the Giovanni Boldini Museum in Ferrara and the Pinacoteca De Nittis in Barletta.
A selection of works by the Apulian painter will be presented in Ferrara, including some of his masterpieces. The works from Barletta will be flanked by other De Nittis creations that will arrive at Palazzo dei Diamanti from important public and private collections. It will be a path that highlights, as the organizers have pointed out, De Nittis' answers to the poetics of modernity.
From 1 December at the Palazzo dei Diamanti
Open every day from 9.00 am to 7.00 pm (the ticket office closes 30 minutes earlier)
Also open 8th, 25th and 26th December, 1st and 6th January, Easter and Easter Monday
Extraordinary evening openings
December 31st until 11.30pm; 4 January, 14 February, 11 and 12 April until 10.30pm

1/11 3rd Month Anniversary2:34 PM
This month, we actually went out to celebrate our moth anniversary. The past two months we have been staying in. Now the first one, as you remembered from my post, was sweet; so it was ok to be spent indoors. The second one we just got lazy; so having our third actually out on a decent date was awesome.
We went to Bahama Breeze. It was my first time there, but it was his second time. His first time there didn't leave him a good memory. It wasn't because of the restaurant, but the parking lot. Anyway, he needed to get a better memory from that place, so that where we went.
The place was amazing. It had a nice bar and the kitchen was placed where everybody can see it. It was just a place. The food was amazing too.
This is the list (together with it's description) of the items we go that day. I got this from the Bahama Breeze website:
Jumbo Lump Crab Stack
Premium jumbo lump crabmeat stacked high with chilled shrimp, avocados and apple-mango salsa.
Jamaican Chicken Wings
Marinated in authentic jerk seasonings and baked.
Lobster and Shrimp Linguine
Tossed with fresh mushrooms in a lobster cream sauce
Center-Cut Filet Mignon *
Tender 8 oz. filet with our hand-mashed potatoes and fresh steamed broccoli.
Wood Grilled Top Sirloin Steak *
Juicy 8 oz. center-cut sirloin served with our hand-mashed potatoes and fresh steamed broccoli.
I couldn't find the menu for the drink that we had, but from what I remember I got somting with strawberry and he got a chocolate smoothie I got him a bluetooth keyboard for his iPad this month. I love the look on his face when he receives gifts, since he's so used to giving the gifts. All in all, it was a great day. We may have started it later than expected, but it was stiill worth the wait.

Lupe Fiasco & Dizaster Twitter Beef
Lupe Fiasco & rapper Dizaster had a little Twitter Beef going on on Tuesday. It all started when Dizaster made a comment about Lupe Fiasco's recent opinion of Kendrick Lamar. Lupe said that while "Kendrick is ill," he'd place other rappers like Logic, and Cassidy above the TDE spitter lyrically. Disaster tweeted a response and that started a back and forth tweet diss between them. Check it out the report that includes the tweets!

In this month's Employee Spotlight, we chatted with Account Manager, Eric Lundberg about his experience working with global clients and top tips for affiliate program management in Q4.
You've been with Acceleration Partners (AP) for a little over a year now. How did you end up at the company?
I have always wanted to work internationally and when I was approached with the opportunity to join the Acceleration Partners team to help support a global client in Latin America, it was an opportunity that I couldn't pass.
The more I learned about Acceleration Partners, its culture and the amazing group of people that I was going to have the opportunity to work with, the more excited I was to join the team.
This past year and a half I have been able to work with some of the most talented people in affiliate marketing and have been working in an international capacity which has always been my career goal.
What are some of the ways you utilize AP's remote workplace to commit to work/life integration?
The main ways that I commit to a work/life integration are to take breaks, keep normal office hours and to set stop times. By stepping away from my desk I ensure that I am giving myself a mental break during the day so that I can return fresh.
Also, I do my best to keep normal office hours, which can sometimes be a challenge as we work on a global level and need to sometimes adjust to our client's schedules. However, Acceleration Partners is great at allowing us to own our calendars so that we can make up that time elsewhere.
The last way that I commit to a healthy work-life balance is to set stop times for myself. It's important to step away from your desk at the end of the day and truly unplug. I find that this goes a long way to fight off any type of burn out and keeps me fresh for the following day.
We recently had our annual AP Summit. What was one of your favorite memories from this year's all-company conference?
For me, it was the learnings that we were able to take away from the conference and apply to our teams. Specifically, I really enjoyed the Strength Finders exercise where we were able to identify what our strengths are as well as the strengths of our teams.
It was very interesting to see what strengths we bring to our teams and what we need from our teams in order to be as successful as possible. I found this very eye-opening and powerful.
In your experience, what helps Acceleration Partners stand out when it comes to managing global affiliate programs?
I think it's the experience and the local presence that AP can bring to our clients.
AP is able to provide their clients with support from all over the world and our associates, account managers, directors, etc. all have a vast talent for affiliate marketing, as well as a deep understanding of the regional and cultural nuances that it takes for an affiliate program to be successful at the global level.
Q4 is an important season in affiliate marketing. What is the top tip you would give to a brand during this time of year?
I would say get ready and be prepared. Q4 is a busy time of the year in affiliate marketing and you want to make sure that everything is in order.
Secure your Q4 placements as soon as possible, refresh your creatives and review your top publishers and see how you can best maximize their performance over the holiday season.
What is something about you that people wouldn't know from looking at your resume?
I am a massive fan of the English Premier League and have been a strong supporter of Arsenal FC most of my life. Go Gunners!
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, what's one dish that's guaranteed to be on your table this year?
Definitely turkey, but the side everyone will be fighting over will be the green bean casserole!

Poetry Parlor is a monthly membership club for you to
improve your poetry skills and connect with other poets.
Do you wish you could write better poems?
Do you want to know more about poetry?
Would you love to connect with like-minded poets?
Do you want help with ideas?
Poetry Parlor might be just what you're looking for!
As a member of Poetry Parlor, you will:
Discover high-quality poems by contemporary poets to expand what you can write
Get a clear, inspiring monthly poetry prompt—and a deadline to help you write it
Receive support and advice from other poets like you
Improve your poetry with feedback from an experienced, inspiring teacher
Who Am I, And Why Am I Doing This?
Hi! I'm Brian... and I hope you'll join me in Poetry Parlor.
I've been writing poetry for 30 years, but for about the first half of that time, I struggled.
I wrote alone, I didn't share my work much, and I didn't have good sources of support.
As a result, my poetry was going nowhere fast, and writing it was often painful.
This all changed when I found some wonderful teaching, help, and feedback. I did a BA, and later an MFA, and finally I had knowledgeable teachers who could tell me what I needed, and fellow‑poets I could share the path with.
But I've never forgotten my long time in the poetic wilderness. It taught me three vital things:
- Everyone can write poetry—and everyone can improve their poetry.
- Poetry is much, much easier if you have support and feedback.
- Not everyone has the time or money to take courses—but everyone should be able to get that kind of learning.
Since 2005, I've put those lessons into practice. I've helped hundreds of people to start writing poetry, keep writing poetry, and get better at poetry. It's something I love as much as writing my own work.
And that's why I've made Poetry Parlor. I want poets like you to have a place to meet, learn, create, and get help—and I hope you will join me.
What's included in Poetry Parlor
Discussion Poem
A poem by a contemporary or recent poet, chosen for its high quality and interest, but also because it showcases something you can learn from—be it form, subject matter, voice, or more.
Live Discussion Webinar and recording

This detailed explanation of how I see the Discussion Poem working will help you deepen your understanding of the poem and what you can learn from it.
Poem Prompt
An inspiring exercise to get you writing.
The Poem Prompt will help you incorporate what you've learned from the Discussion Poem into your own writing—and give you a deadline to make sure you do it!

Prompts or exercises to do that are specific to you and your needs;

You are looking for regular inspiration to help you create new poems
You want to get feedback on your poems to help you improve them
You want to know more about poems and poets being published now
You're just starting poetry and would like some structure and guidance to help you (please see the FAQ as well)

You already have an advanced degree in poetry (such as an MFA or MA)
You are 100% happy with the poetry you write and you don't want to try new things.
Some thoughts from Parlor poets:
Poetry Parlor took me on a positive journey from using an existing poem as an idea to developing the first draft of my poem. The chosen poem and the discussions were inspirational in my own poetry writing.
Then, there were excellent tips on editing that helped to produce a published poem.
Sue B..
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire format, from reading the poem, to discussing it, then writing our own. I truly appreciated the feedback from other poets involved and from Brian.
Poetry Parlor informed my sense of my strengths and limitations as a poet. I have a strong draft that I now look forward to developing with a real sense of direction.
Mary-Lou B.
Poetry Parlor has given me a new sense of confidence and the nudge I needed to start reading and writing poetry again.
I always enjoy Brian's teaching. He helps me see things I perhaps wouldn't have seen, and has a gentle, encouraging way of giving useful feedback. The prompt was pitched just right—accessible to all and inspiring.
Natalie B..
Poetry Parlor engenders awareness of high quality poetry and techniques to enhance creative output within a stimulating community that encourages each step of the journey.
I felt skillfully prompted, guided, and held within this community of poets, with Brian as tutor at the helm.
Sonja M.
Poetry Parlor exposed me to a great variety of personal experience and ways of expressing it. The feedback let me know where I was failing to come across to readers—where something needed to be honed or reinforced—whether it be in an image, or a tone, or the order of stanzas. These are things one cannot do alone.
I love the video feedback! Seriously, there's so much that one reads every day—having a voice joined with the pointer makes everything more attention-focusing and simpler to understand. Brian's commentary is always excellent—comprehensive, even-keeled, and to the point!
Jane O.
I enjoyed reading the work of others, to see different takes on the same prompt. I liked hearing how my work was interpreted by others. We don't always have distance from our
work, so this was very helpful. Brian is very knowledgeable!
Overall, very good.
Nancy W..
I'm interested, but I'm not sure if I'd like it. How can I test out Poetry Parlor?
The best way to test out Poetry Parlor is to join in!
A month of the Standard membership is only $5, and you'll get a chance to experience everything except the Webinar and Feedback/Mentoring. And if it's not for you, you can cancel for the next month any time!
How much time will I need to take part?
At the least, you just need the time to create one poem draft in a month. I reckon that's about 1-2 hours—but it doesn't have to be all at one go. You could do it in 15-20 minutes a week.
And of course, if you've got more, you can give more—you can do more writing, more thinking, and more interaction in the Facebook group.
I've never written poetry before. Can Poetry Parlor work for me?
I think so, provided you're willing to take a few chances and try things out. While the Poem Prompt won't be aimed explicitly at beginners, the Parlor will give you a structured way to create a poem every month—and you can always ask for extra help on the Facebook group.
In particular, in the Feedback and Mentoring levels I can give you tips that are specially focused on learning poetry. Just let me know when you send me your poem!
Can I change my membership level?
Yes, you can change your membership level at any time. The change will take effect for your next month's membership.
What happens if I join late in the month? Will I still get to take part?
Yes! As soon as you join, you'll get access to the Discussion Poem, Comment Video, and Poem Prompt for the month you joined. But if it's kind of late in the month and you don't really have time to join in, you'll also get all these things for the next month too, along with the chance to join the Live Webinar and get Feedback or Mentoring, if you've signed up for those. So you'll never miss out!

US Open champion Sloane Stephens is hoping a trip to the Cayman Islands for the Legends Tennis tournament this weekend will help her rediscover her magic touch.
The 24-year-old, who upset the odds at Flushing Meadows to take the 2017 US Open title, is the star attraction at this weekend's exhibition at Camana Bay.
"I am excited. I have heard amazing things about Cayman. I don't play that many exhibitions but I thought this would be a really awesome one to do," she told the Compass this week.
"I committed to playing in Cayman before I won the US Open and I wasn't going to back out – I was playing no matter what."
The Legends tournament, as the name implies, has typically attracted retired stars including Anna Kournikova and Andy Roddick.
But Ms. Stephens' appearance this year is the first time a reigning Grand Slam champion has been involved.
She is in good company.
Also in the lineup for Friday and Saturday are Jimmy Connors, an eight-time Grand Slam winner and one of the greats of the game, Swedish legend Stefan Edberg, Australia's former Wimbledon champ Pat Cash and the world's top junior player, 17-year-old Claire Liu.
Ms. Stephens comes into the tournament on the back of a first round exit in the Australian Open. She said she was looking forward to a relaxed affair at Festival Green.
"It will be nice to get out there and hit a few balls and just play for fun," she said.
It will be her first time in Cayman, but she has heard good reports of the island from her partner, U.S. national soccer star Jozy Altidore, who visited in January for a fundraiser and coaching clinic.
"We talked about it and he said it was amazing and he had such a great time, I heard it's beautiful – now it's my turn. I hope I get to see some of the island. It is always amazing to see new places."
Ms. Stephens was languishing at number 957 in the world rankings when she returned from an 11-month layoff with a foot injury at Wimbledon last year.
That was the start of a spectacular comeback that culminated with her triumph over fellow American Madison Keys to win the US Open final in straight sets.
"Winning the US Open was incredible. It was a great time for me, a great moment for me and for U.S. tennis," she said.
"Since then, a lot has happened in my life. I am taking everything in my stride and I'm making sure I am enjoying myself and taking it day by day."
Ms. Stephens hails from a sporting family. Her mother Sybil Smith was a swimmer at Boston University and was the first African American woman to be recognized as First Team All-American in Division 1. Her father John Stephens was a running back for the New England Patriots before his death in a car accident in 2009.
Ms. Stephens, who paid tribute to her mother after her US Open win, said, "Having supportive people in your family is what matters most. I have that and that is the most important thing, regardless of whether they are in sports or not."
Despite the pressures of competitive sports, she said she still enjoys her tennis.
"It is such a big part of my life. I have played for so long I can't imagine my life without tennis, it would be a struggle," she said.
"I enjoy hitting every day, being on the court, seeing my friends. Whenever you get out there, it is competition. Anything can happen on that day."
For youngsters getting into the sport, she said the key is simply to have fun.
"Just enjoy, don't stress. Careers aren't all that long. I've played tennis for a long time and I am in the middle of my career – you have to enjoy playing every day."

AI has a multitude of applications, and it could even play a role in the world of journalism. We've already seen AI-aided robots write a number of stories and now the technology is being used in China to create AI Anchors.
More specifically state-run press agency, Xinhua, has used machine learning and CGI to create a virtual presenter to deliver news reports.
The video of said AI Anchor has been placed on YouTube via the New China TV channel and offers a possible glimpse into what the future of TV journalism could look like in the Asian country.
At this stage there are no definitive details as to how the AI Anchor was created, or indeed when Xinhua aims to make them more ubiquitous, but as you can tell by watching the video below, there are quite a few kinks to iron out.
The voice of the AI Anchor for example is quite robotic, and resembles the same kind of reporting experience that one normally hears on those suspect news channels on YouTube.
That said, the language used is quite advanced, and the phrases flow logically. The only real problem we noticed is when the AI Anchor would run onto sentences now and then. For the most part though, it was quite efficient.
Whether such a system will actually take off remains to be seen, but seeing as how virtual pop stars are wildly popular in Southeast Asian countries, why not an AI Anchor.
What are your thoughts on the AI Anchor from Xinhua. An innovative new solution or new meaning on the term political puppet?

Hi, I'm an oncology nurse and thought I may be able to answer your question about what to expect with BCG treatment. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a common treatment for bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle wall of the bladder. Quick, and relatively painless, BCG is put into the bladder through a catheter. The patient will be asked not to urinate for 2 hours and to change position every 15 to 20 minutes so the medicine washes the entire bladder wall.
Dose and schedule for BCG can vary and is determined by the doctor. Side effects experienced can vary between individuals, but may include burning or pain with urination, urgency (needing to urinate often), fatigue, joint aches, skin rash, nausea, loss of appetite, and a low grade fever.
Check out the BCG information on the Bladder Cancer Awareness Network (BCAN) website: 'Tips for Patients From Patients ' about BCG. The information includes questions to ask the doctor, what to expect from treatment, and tips for self -care and coping after BCG treatment.
More information about bladder cancer treatment can also be found through our Health Library by visiting: http://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/uh1360#uh1361
Hope this information is useful for you and your friend.

Wage capping
'Fat cat' regulations
In Switzerland, it is still considered inappropriate to discuss wages. Data on workers' average monthly income is difficult to obtain because no reliable statistics are available and living costs and salaries vary across each canton.
The taboo surrounding wages and the lack of guaranteed equal pay for male and female workers suggests that there is still much work to be done in this regard. Many questions remain unanswered – for example:
Further, recent trends suggest that young professionals are being exploited. For example, graduates in certain cantons (eg, Basel City) receive no monthly wages during their traineeships. Meanwhile, many directors and CEOs of big companies earn over Sfr1 million a year.
The Swiss authorities are debating whether to cap the annual salaries of CEOs of government-owned corporations. Some of the highest earners include:
Given that a federal government member has an annual salary of approximately Sfr450,000, most people would consider the above salaries excessive and unfair. Remarkably, the average research manager or university director earns between Sfr250,000 and Sfr350,000 a year, while most CEOs in the financial sector earn at least Sfr500,000 a year.
These numbers prove that financial sector salaries are significantly higher than science sector salaries. While management positions in both fields require highly qualified workers with degrees, the cause of such a significant wage gap is unclear. One explanation could be the comparatively high stress levels in the financial sector.
The 'fat cat' regulations of 2014 apply only to stock-quoted companies (for further details please see "'Fat cat' regime – government proposes regulation of top-level management compensation packages").
Under this regime, additional forms of remuneration include:
Therefore, an employee's actual income can be much higher than their standard monthly salary. Although these forms of remuneration are common in the financial sector, they are rarely offered to science sector employees.
Encouragingly, the fat cat regulations implemented a mechanism for preventing extraordinarily high salaries: all remuneration to company directors and CEOs must be approved at a general meeting. However, this somewhat democratic approach is proving inefficient, as Swisscom and other stock-quoted companies still pay exorbitant salaries.
Pay equity could be achieved through the legislative regulation of wages, which would certainly restrict freedom of contract in the private sector (such regulation already exists in the public sector). However, given the fundamental differences between the public and private sectors (eg, with regard to job security), it seems utopic and impracticable to suggest that regulations could address every criterion.
Greater market regulation may be an economic solution; however, this would work only if all wage information was made publicly available (thereby raising data privacy concerns).
As individuals' anonymity must be legally guaranteed, a combined approach may be the best solution. For example, new legislation could require every company to disclose workforce remuneration on a no-name basis, accounting for major business fields, employee numbers and location. This approach would improve pay transparency and make fair wages (ie, based on various criteria and individual circumstances) more achievable.

I have purchase a plugin from wp plugins… Not sure why its not included here but decided to purchase anyway which came along with a $3 a month if you wanted updates and continued support..
Right off the bat I am having some issues with the plugin and when I tried to use the support on wp plugins site , it told me i needed a monthly subscriptions to do so which my receipt says I do..
I dug up my receipt used the email@example.com email that was on there but have not heard back… (maybe a time zone thing) idk
This is a great site and community but I sure am having quite a few issue with plugins that are guaranteed to work.. from here and one bought at wp plugins
Are you guys support of this plugin? If so I need a refund.. or a fix real quick..
The plugin is not saving menu items that have been reordered.. Have got it to for one but doesn't seem to want to know especially if that menu is an iframe.
When using the iframe then scrolling down and then back up withing the iframe the admim bar floats in the middle of the screen, sometimes about 4 of them and will not go away
Way to make a menu item not link to anywhere and just have it act as a container for the submenus… I tried # in the link url but it resides to thee next submenu's url and takes you there..

Axes and shields, bows and arrows, mead and roasting meat, pillages and conquests, shieldmaidens and amazing mythology, these are the ingredients for a rich culture, unique and a fountain of inspiration for so many. I have a thing for Roman and Japanese culture, but Norse comes in a close third.
Because of this I had no problems going into Valhalla Hills from Funatics e Daedalic Entertainment. This and the fact that my oldest friend is half Viking and we both like to go into a field do some archery, forge axes and knives and throw them at something while we drink some mead. Manly stuff, not lumbersexual crap.
Real men don't use creams to soften their skin and so they don't have split ends on their beard, at most they trim it with a blade. They don't use flannel shirts so that they look like lumberjacks or go to a shop buying rustic looking furniture, they go to a forest cut down a three and build one with their own hands. They don't drink cocktails with fruit and shit, they drink mead with a roasted pork leg! Real men play Valhalla Hills! And real women too! There is no feminist discrimination among vikings. "You have moving hands and arms? Oh… you have kids? Good for you! You can pick up a shield and axe or a spear and go into battle."
That's how it is in Valhalla Hills, men and women do everything that needs doing. And to my pleasure they do it automatically.
Wait… I'm getting ahead of myself, as this is one of those games that I haven't finished because technically it has no ending you can always go back, it's hard to do a review, because I don't like to do that without finishing a game, although I have a considerable number of hours on it. Still:
Done, over, buy it now, or some other time, but do buy it and have fun. Of course a review can't be like this, I can't just say buy the game and not explain why, or at least explain the game, right?
Take your blades and a horn, fill it with mead or beer and here we go…
This game was created by the same man that gave us the critically acclaimed Settlers 2 and it follows the same structure, we control a Viking settlement with the purpose of reaching Asgard. But this game has several aspects that are a delight to someone that already has some history in these fields.
For those of us that like mythology and/or history, particularly Nordic ones, the concept of this game is hilarious. In Viking culture they believe that being brave and valorous warriors, when they die they will go to Valhalla. But what would happen if when they got there the doors were closed? If the toll at Bifröst rainbow bridge had the gates up? If the bouncer Heimdallr said that you couldn't go in because the place was packed? What would you do?
That is the premise that Valhalla Hills places the player in, a mix of real time strategy and building. When the Gods send the heroes back to Midgard, like true Vikings they don't give up. If they can't get in one way, they'll find a way in. They'll build a settlement up every mountain until they reach Asgard, and by Odin, they'll get in this time.
As I said before this game does not discriminate by gender, just like in the Viking culture, here it doesn't matter if it's Frida or Lasse that are the warriors, if an inhabitant is free, they take the job. The other is that in most of these games we select the character that we want to do something, i.e. we build a quarry, we then choose someone to work there, but not here. We chose the lumber mill and immediately someone goes there. In my games it's usually one called Jetter, and that woman goes through wood like there was no tomorrow. Not only that, anything that is built, if there is any idle character they immediately go gather materials and start the construction.
Another plus is the gradual learning curve as we advance the game. I love how they made it. The game is presented in islands, the objective is to open the portal on the furthest end of the Island and be transported to a larger one. It's at this pace that we learn to play, each island is bigger, with larger diversity of resources and challenges. Bit by bit and without noticing the game becomes more complex, but without hand holding tutorials, it's a natural path.
This game respects the Viking life style. Between the many buildings we have hunting lodges, mead distilleries, battle camps but the Viking way, unlike most games like this the building is not fixed. The objective is to reach the end of the map, and we use the resources that are limited, so we pick up some buildings or tear them down and use the resources to build a new one in another place.
The last factoring point in this game is the answer to the questions, what type of Viking are you?
The portal always has ice creatures inside that will attack our villagers when we open it, so there are two things that we can do, either have a bunch of warriors ready to destroy them or we have an altar where we previously leave offerings to appease them. Personally I prefer to crush their throats under the leather of my boots, but that's just me.
But not everything is a gift from Odin, sometimes Loki pulls a few tricks and gets involved where he shouldn't. In spite of the visual beauty of the game from the wide images of the map to the details of Bjarne wearing rabbit ears after killing a few bunnies, the camera and its movement can be the worst part of the game sometimes. Other than that, it's worth the money we pay for it.
Minimum requirements:
Mead (with moderation, or not)
Time (a lot, free)
Imagination ( plenty, if you don't have it the game will give you a push)
Liking strategy games such as Settlers (even if you don't take a chance)
PC (or laptop)
Copy of Valhalla Hills
Be a man or woman with a Viking spirit!
But really Viking spirit, because honestly? Lumbersexuals? WTF is that?

A Tarbrush Coffee store can be found in Bedford Point in Staunton Island during the events of Grand Theft Auto III, although the store is inaccessible to the player.
An accessible Tarbrush Café store can be found in the North Point Mall during the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In the mission Cop Land, Tommy Vercetti has to blow up the café. It is only accessible before the mission Cop Land, as it cannot be entered after the café is blown up. As recently as 1984 (the setting of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories), the café's space was occupied by the T&A Men clothing store.
This café appears in another Rockstar game, Manhunt. Many locations in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas have Tarbrush Café (with the Vice City logo in low-resolution) cups scattered around them, such as bars and dance clubs and Jefferson Motel rooms, suggesting the business operates in San Andreas by 1992.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, while no Tarbrush Café stores appear, there are several tables and umbrellas bearing the company's logo in Westdyke and Leftwood in Alderney, particularly on the premises of a coffee store in Flathead Road. This could suggest the business is still operating during 2008 and is able to compete with the much more popular The Bean Machine coffee chain.
- The Tarbrush Café's name may be a reference to the derogatory phrase "touch of the tar brush," used to denote a person who appears white, but is suspected to be partially of African or Asian descent. It could also be a reference to the popular Starbucks coffehouse chain.
- There is a Katana in the back office in the cafe in Vice City, which becomes unreachable after Cop Land.
- In addition to above, after Cop Land the shop entrance is blocked by the shop's signage, preventing the player from entering it. If you attempt to enter by the use of trainers, the interior is now unsolid, rendering this Katana unobtainable for the rest of the game.

Facebook Opened Up Your Data to Major Tech Firms
Facebook has long been plagued by concerns around security and the way it handles the data of its users. The Cambridge Analytica scandal was big news earlier this year and led to Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, appearing on Capitol Hill to answer questions.
Well, the security issues keep on appearing and this latest controversy could prove to unsettle users and further reduce the number of people using the platform. Facebook boasts a userbase of 2 billion users, but The New York Times revealed the company "gave some of the world's largest technology companies more intrusive access to users' personal data than it has disclosed, effectively exempting those business partners from its usual privacy rules."
In a bid to boost its advertising revenue, Facebook gave these extraordinary powers to its largest advertising partners. Bing was allowed, for example, to see the names of a user's entire friends list. More troublingly, perhaps, Netflix and Spotify were allowed to read the private messages of users. Those content correlation algorithms probably received a big boost due to this practice.
Sadly, these powers were granted with very little oversight. To make matters worse, Facebook has been plagued by similar controversies in recent weeks. A massive photo bug gave some apps access to the private photos of millions of users, while an access-token harvesting attacked affected 50 million users.
Microsoft Announces Windows Sandbox
In more positive news, Microsoft announced that Windows Sandbox will soon be available to Windows Insiders. This software offers users a virtualized safe space to test new applications. This means that users can use the applications without fear of malware. The tool was announced in a blog post, which explained the tool as an "isolated, temporary, desktop environment where you can run untrusted software without the fear of lasting impact to your PC."
This means that users can access Sandbox like they would an application, but with the same security advantages that a Virtual Machine offers. If you regularly install apps from untrusted sites, you'll be able to test those within Sandbox to avoid harming your computer or opening up your data to unwelcome eyes.
