HOW TO CHANGE THE IFID OF A TEMPLATE

and why it's important to do so when you are using templates (mine or others).

For Tweego Users (and whomever have been using my templates on Tweego), if you are creating a new project, you will need to generate an IFID.

Two ways of doing this:

Create a new project on Twine and copy the ID from there

Use this online IFID Generator

Why does this matter?

IFIDs are like ISBN, they are meant to be the identification number for your project and that project only.

The Twine program cannot open two projects with the same IFID.

The IFDB will not let you save a game page if you have indicated an already used IFID.

San Francisco has the ultimate weapon in combatting the city’s growing problem of public urination. Anyone who will try to relieve themselves publicly will now get what’s coming to them. Mohammed Nuru, San Francisco Public Works Director, has started the campaign to paint walls with pee-repellent paint that will make every public urinator think twice about their next move.

Nuru expressed his dismay about this dirty problem in San Francisco. “Nobody wants to smell urine. We are trying different things to try to make San Francisco smell nice and look beautiful,” he told SF Gate.

Back in 2002, a legislation banning public urinating was passed. Violators are subject to pay fines ranging from $50 to $500. However, this persistent problem continues to plague San Francisco. According to SF Gate, Public Works has received 375 requests to steam-clean pungent smelling alleyways and walls since January. This comprises five percent of the total requests made to Public Works to clean up the streets.

Apart from the legislation, the Pit Stop program was also launched. This program provided public restrooms around the city. Somehow, it helped bring down the steam-cleaning requests to 17 percent. But still, these public restrooms only operate at limited time intervals.

Inspired by how Hamburg handled its public urination problem, Nuru did not hesitate to try it out in his city. In Hamburg, St. Pauli quarter is a place frequented by beer drinkers and answering the call of nature meant simply facing the wall. To solve the problem, Hamburg applied pee-repellant paint called Ultra-Ever Dry, which allowed any liquid to touch the wall bounce back. The paint has super-hydrophobic coating that repels any kind of liquid to keep any object dry.

On July 23, 2015, Nuru along with the Public Works crew made a public demonstration of how the paint works over at 16th Street Bart Plaza. Despite churning out more than a hundred dollars per wall for the paint and installation costs, the demonstration was a success.

The official Twitter account of SF Public Works uploaded a video of the demonstration. It showed a man spraying water onto the wall using a plastic bottle and once the water touches the wall, it bounces back wetting the man’s shoes and pants.

Beware and stay away from these walls:

Southwest corner of the 16th and Mission Street Bart Plaza

Stockton Street tunnel stairwells

Wall on the Adele Street side of 890 Jackson St.

Wall on the Varney Place side of 98 Jack London Alley

Garage and side door of 3487 17th Street

Osage Alley between 24th and 25th Streets

Garage door alcove at 121 Ninth St.

Minna Street side wall at 145 Ninth St.

496-498 Natoma St.

Let this be a warning to everyone who even dares to harass the walls again.

“Use a pit stop instead of walls, bus stops and sidewalks or you may be surprised by the anti-wee paint,” tweeted Nuru.

"In Fits in Dreams" - Yassou Benedict NOT YET RATED

Javelin Strategy & Research recently released a report called "Mobile Banking Scorecard" where they review and rank features and adoption of those features.   Some of the data is common knowledge (like about how many banks are not marketing "mobile security features on [their] websites") others is interesting, like how many features E*Trade can pack onto their mobile banking app.  I found this graph most telling though, detailing the main reasons why mobile banking isn't that popular:
