If some of the ads you see on Facebook upset you, Facebook is going to do something about it.

If some of the ads you see on Facebook upset you, Facebook is going to do something about it. Facebook wants its users to enjoy their time and if certain types of ads are getting in the way, those ads need to go. Facebook will help people avoid ads focusing on certain topics.

For now, Facebook is focusing on just two categories as a test. Those categories include alcohol and parenting ads. According to Facebook, these are the most common types of ads that upset people. And that more categories will be added based on user reports and analytics.

Mark Rabkin, VP of core ads at Facebook, said, “Those are the two most common topics. For families who experience the loss of a child, to continue to see ads about parenting and new baby stuff, that can be really upsetting.”

Before now, there was an option of blocking ads from certain pages if you don’t like it. But it was after you’ve seen them and have been affected by them. With this latest update, you will not have to see those ads in the first place. Ad preferences can be set and if you’ve set up what kind of ads you’d like to see, this new update will not change those settings.

“We’re not changing any existing settings here,” Mr. Rabkin said. “We’re just changing how it appears.”

Now, in the ad preferences section, there is a new tab labeled ‘Hide Ad Topics’. For now, there are only two categories but based on test results, Facebook will add more filters.

An old man was slowly walking by the side of the unpaved street. It was past midnight and freezing cold, He had in his hands a piece of paper clutched tightly and was trying to wave to the cars passing by. I was extremely tired after driving for three consecutive hours yet couldn’t resist myself form stopping when I saw his old silhouette just inches away from my blue mustang. As soon as I applied brakes, he scurried forward and handed me that crumbled piece of paper. I brushed aside the dirt and grim and looked closely to make out some words. It was clearly an address, Blimey! This man had lost his way and had no idea of the place he should be at instead of roaming on these freezing streets at this hour of the night! I invited him to hop in my car and the very first question I asked him was: “ why didn’t you make any phone call?” , he slowly answered, “because I don’t know how to use a phone”, I looked at him with amazement and further questioned, “Maybe you could have explained someone that you have lost your way home”, what he said left me speechless for sometime , “dear son, How can I explain to any educated person that I am uneducated and am in need of help , Do you think people help such kinds these days?”

Deciding the Winner- The first person to meet the game objective wins.

Drop- A player has the option to drop out/opt out of the ongoing 13 card rummy game at any point

Initial Drop- 20 points, Middle Drop- 40 points.

POINTS CALCULATION IN 13 CARD POINTS RUMMY

The printed cards or numbered cards have same value as their face value. i.e. 5 of spade will have value of 5 points.

All jokers (both printed and cut joker) have value of zero points.

In any case, if a player fails to take required action in his turn and misses his first three consecutive turns, he is given a penalty of full hand.

However, if a player misses his first turn (intentionally or unknowingly) and chooses to drop in the second turn he is allocated drop points as per the middle drop.

If a player fails to make two straight sequences (one pure & another pure/impure) he is allocated points according to all the cards in hand (up to a max. of 80 points).

However, if the player has made two required sequences, then points are allocated as per the remaining cards in hand.

In case, if a player fails to send his cards (whether properly arranged or not) then the system accepts his cards as it is.

If the declaration of a player goes wrong, he is allocated 80 points as penalty.

Maximum of 80 points can be allocated to a hand which implies Full hand is 80 points.

If a player declares the rummy game on the first turn then the other players(whose turn hasn’t come) will give upto a maximum of middle hand penalty(40 points).
