Kasbah Tamadot, Atlas Mountains
I loved visiting Kasbah Tamadot last December, but my goal is to visit again at a time that I can enjoy the pool and spa under a warm Moroccan sun.
When you lose $200,000 on a video game
None!not sure if i understand what is happening here.
•Over 2,000 individual players directly took part in the battle, with thousands more helping in the background.
•75 Titans -- the game's largest and most expensive ships -- were destroyed. Each is estimated to be worth around $5,000 in real world currency.
•While it was the most costly battle with over $200,000 in virtual goods destroyed, it wasn't actually the largest battle in the game's history. Another battle last year involved more than 4,000 players directly fighting.

Ahead of the Herd
"I've been working on a photographic survey, 'The Saami of Russia,' for 22 years (since 1991)," writes Your Shot contributor Alexander Stepanenko. "This picture was taken on black-and-white film in April 1996 near Murmansk." Stepanenko explains that herders were attempting to drive the reindeer into a corral. He captured this shot while riding on a sledge that was leading the reindeer in the foreground. "Fascinated by shooting," he says, "I almost fell off the sledge." Stepanenko's photographs documenting Russian village life are highlighted in the new Your Shot feature Long Lens.

A Mutual Benefit
An anemone and its tenant, a pink anemonefish, look out for each other in the waters of Papua New Guinea's Kimbe Bay. The anemone’s sting warns predators away, while the fish eats parasites and drives off fish that feed on anemones.

When flirting makes you more loyal
None!the entire article:
It turns out that flirting makes you more loyal -- at least in a business sense.
A professor at Harvard Business School found that exposure to a new brand actually made the customer more committed to their original favorite brand
For example, the researchers asked people who were die hard Coca-Cola drinkers to name some good qualities of Pepsi, and vice versa.
In both cases. doing so made the customers return more fiercely to their preferred soda pop.
Maybe just don't try this on your spouse.
Amazon Prime: an expensive cash cow
None!Summary:
Not a great day for retail giant Amazon. The company announced 4th quarter earnings and, although revenue was up 20% over the year before, it did not meet expectations.
Amazon might be fast becoming a ubiquitous market force, but its profits have been hit or miss. The company said it might raise fees for its Amazon Prime service from the current cost of $79 dollars a year to $99 or more. Amazon Prime members get free shipping, free access to streaming movies and other perks.
There are more than 20 million Prime members and the $79 they pay pretty much covers the cost of the free shipping they get. The rest is gravy.
And there’s a lot of gravy. Amazon Prime customers spend twice what regular customers do
At Amazon, nothing is ever what it seems," he laughs. "If they charge more, I think customers are probably going to spend more. So quite ironically, by raising the price of this membership, they may end up getting people to shop there even more."
A more expensive Prime membership equals a customer who is all the more motivated to get his or her free-shipping’s worth
Color: A Browser Game About Headshotting Colours

Sometimes a browser game comes along that just seems to swallow me and everyone I know. Quick to play, a challenge which measures some gaming-unrelated skill, the kind of thing you want to brag about and don’t feel bad about recommending. The last one was GeoGuessr, the game of geographic trivia. The new one is Color, the game of ffs-am-I-blind-or-something. It’s only a colour matching game, but it consumed my evening.

On the Road….Rural Farm, Pennsylvania
This summer I had taken some time to stay home and look for style in my own backyard. After the images from Morocco last week, I thought that this week would be a great way to continue the concept of “style in simple living” with these images from a farm in rural Pennsylvania. When I visited, the whole family was spending the weekend making jams and jellies with berries grown on their farm. This was being done in a beautiful Victorian style house with no electricity (by choice). The mother hand-makes most of the clothes her daughters wear. Whatever these young ladies lack in current fashion they more than makeup for in homegrown style.

A Winter Walk
None!wow. this fits right into my fantasy novels.
While walking in the countryside "enjoying the air, sounds, and colors of winter," Your Shot contributor Marisela Murcia Navarro suddenly caught this sight. "I stopped and felt that nature had given me a gift," she says. A native of Spain, Murcia had been visiting her father's region of Manchuela in Castile-La Mancha and, during long walks with camera in hand, found "scenes that seemed out of the pages of a story."

Why women don't roar at work
None!Summary:
"That experience started her thinking about gender norms and workplace culture. Behaviors – like aggressively promoting yourself to your co-workers and supervisors – are largely accepted when a man is displaying them. If a woman exercises her bragging rights, it can be seen as a negative trait that alienates others."
.... and now the test:
"“We had groups of undergraduate women at Montana State University who are applying for a scholarship and we told them write either an application essay for yourself or to write a letter of recommendation and promote the accomplishments of a friend to win.”
Half of the women were told that there was a “subliminal noise generator” in the room – a black box that would emit an inaudible, high-pitched sound that could cause some anxiety. The noise was a fiction, but the women who were informed about the box had a largely different experience than the women who weren’t told about it.
“They enjoyed the experience more,” Smith says. “When women were able to have this black box to blame for any discomfort that they might have been feeling, they wrote better essays and received $1,000 more on average in scholarship money.”
ps guys im awesome. didnt know if you knew or not, but now you know.
