How to use it:

1. Include the required CSS and web fonts in the head section of your page.

<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300,700" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Coustard:400,900" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/3.0.1/normalize.css" rel="stylesheet">

2. Create the Html for the navigation menu.

<nav role="navigation">
  <ul class="nav">
    <li data-menu="Policy"> <a href="#">Policy</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="Arts"> <a href="#">Arts</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="World"> <a href="#">World</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="Sports"> <a href="#">Sports</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="Music"> <a href="#">Music</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="Identity"> <a href="#">Identity</a> </li>
    <li data-menu="News"> <a href="#">News</a> </li>
  </ul>
</nav>

3. Create the Html for the recent articles when you hover over the menus.

  <div class="most-viewed">Most viewed today in <span>policy</span>.</div>
  <div class="category policy">

this.$nav = $('.nav');
this.$stories = $('.stories');

Menu.prototype.init = function(){
this.initialState();
this.ui();
}

Menu.prototype.initialState = function(){
var i = 0,
$img = $('.category').eq(0).find('img');

$img.load(function(){
i++;
//wait for all images to load
if (i === $img.length) {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass('show');
}
}); 
}

Menu.prototype.ui = function(){
var self = this;

//show recent articles on hover
self.$nav.on('mouseenter', 'li', function(){
var $this = $(this);

$('.category')
.removeClass('show')
.eq($this.index())
.css('left', 0)
.stop(true, true)
