Surprise! Warcraft III, the vintage PC strategy game of 16 years, has been given an unexpected update from its developers Blizzard.
Focusing on its multiplayer modes, the tweaks see almost every hero getting reworked for balancing issues, as well as a revised map rotation system for competitive bouts. In addition, the player count for custom matches has been upped from 12 to 24.
There will also be some technical improvements to the game too, including new support for widescreen monitors and a deeper map editor for those looking to create custom matches.
The timing of the update coincides with Blizzard’s announcement of a new invitation Warcraft III competitive tournament, bringing the game up to the standards expected of a modern esports tournament.
But some fans have speculated that it could lead to more new additions for the series. A Warcraft III: Remastered Edition, along the lines of what Blizzard similarly achieved with Starcraft, has long been rumored. These could be the first steps towards modernizing the classic game ahead of a bigger overhaul.
Blizzard has long supported its legacy games, providing updates to them many, many years after their original releases. But this is a considerable effort even by their standards, seemingly suggesting that there could be more to come.

An analysis of 30,000 websites has found that around 15% of publishers that have adopted ads.txt have made errors that may be costing them money.
Ads.txt, launched by IAB Tech Labs to combat ad fraud, is a simple text file that publishers host on their sites listing all the suppliers that are authorised to sell inventory on their behalf.
Unfortunately, says ad tech company Firstimpression.io, which conducted the analysis, thousands of publishers have errors in their files, such as a typo or a syntax error, leading to their sellers not being recognised.
With programmatic platforms and DSPs, including Google and AppNexus, rigidly adhering to these lists, it could lead to potential loss of revenue for publishers, Firstimpressions.io found.
While Google reports that 750 of the top 2,000 websites have ads.txt installed (an adoption rate of 38%), a study by MediaRadar that includes a further 1,000 sites has found the adoption rate is only 20%.
It appears that nearly all the smaller publishers in the top 3,000 sites have neglected to install ads.txt.
Fortunately, adoption rates of ads.txt are increasing by around 5% a week across all Alexa tiers (a ranking of sites provided by Amazon), found Firstimpression.io.
By country, the US leads with 36% of sites using ads.txt. This is followed by Canada (29%), Australia (28%), Norway (28%), and France (28%). The UK is not ranked in the top five.
By not adopting ads.txt, publishers run the risk of losing money to counterfeit inventory, where advertiser money spent on buying premium publisher inventory goes to a fake website instead.
A recent study involving 16 publishers and tech firms Amobee, Google and Quantcast found that publishers are losing up to $3.5m (£2.6m) a day to counterfeit video inventory.

Complementary medical treatments are now increasingly popular and the public demand for information and treatment is growing rapidly. It is therefore essential that all pharmacists have good knowledge of the main aspects of complementary therapies as they are meeting more and more patients who want advice and treatment with alternative therapies.
This book provides a practical introduction and reference source on the products most frequently requested in community pharmacies and in hospitals. Chapters on other complementary therapies such as massage are also included for information so that pharmacists can give knowledge-based advice to the public.
Additionally CAM is now an integral part of every MPharm course in the UK and of the pharmacy degree course in the USA. This book has been adopted by universities both in the UK and the USA. Indeed in the UK, this is an essential textbook that includes all aspects of CAM covered in the MPharm degree.
For the new edition, all main areas including homeopathy, aromatherapy and herbalism are updated and two new sections added. All legal issues are updated and legal information included from USA, Australia and New Zealand. Plus, evidence based material and research has been updated and more case studies included. The book also focuses a lot more on application as well as information and is more interactive.
A contribution from the USA has been included, as Steven Kayne enlisted a renowned expert to write chapters for this new edition.

Because of hot and humid conditions, the afternoon heat index is expected to surpass 100 degrees.
The advisory was issued for Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Johnson counties in Kansas and Platte, Clay and Jackson counties in Missouri.
Some relief is in sight. A front is expected to move into the area, triggering possible thunderstorms across eastern Kansas and western Missouri late in the day.
The storms will cool things down by the weekend, with normal temperatures and much lower humidity.

After months of waiting since PlayStation 4 release, gamers finally get to see Monster Hunter: World on Steam. And as expected, the game got so much hype.
Only one week after its release, Monster Hunter: World has had 312,864 concurrent players, according to Steam’s stats taken on August 14th, 2018, and is expected to grow steadily in the upcoming weeks.
With that total number of players, the game has passed Grand Theft Auto V, Tom Clancy’s The Division, and Warframe on Steam.
Here is also a fun fact for you. Monster Hunter: World is the biggest launch for a Japanese game ever on Steam, as well as the best debut for a Capcom game on Steam.
The game was adapted from Monster Hunter series which was introduced in 2004. The series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in a beautiful natural environment. Since the first release, the series has had a significant growth of fans. On February 9, 2018, Monster Hunter series had over 46 million sales worldwide.
Monster Hunter: World is the newest game in the series that has made the most success. Capcom announced earlier last month that the game has shipped 5 million units in just 3 days. Bear in mind, this number accounts for digital sales and the number of units shipped to retailers (but not necessarily sold to consumers).
Monster Hunter World becomes the most fastest selling Capcom game ever. The company announced it through its official blog confirming 6 million units shipped in just two weeks. So, what's its secret to success?
For the PlayStation 4, Monster Hunter: World becomes the fastest selling Capcom game ever. The company announced it through its official blog confirming 6 million units shipped in just two weeks.
The marketing of Capcom to delay the release of the game on PC is a great strategy. When players seem to decrease due to the time that has gone by, they turned it around with the release on Steam.

We brought visitors from New Jersey and they loved the restaurant! Half of us got the risotto and half got the espresso salmon. Both dishes were exceptional! The kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts salad has us trying to replicate it at home! Megan was a delightful, attentive server. This may be our new favorite restaurant!
Amazing wine selection and pairings with our meal. Definitely will be back, new favorite place.
This is a consistent, innovative, high quality restaurant. Our service was very relaxed--did not rush us, which was really great.
1st time dining there. Did not disappoint. My wife and I had the pre fix menu paired amazingly by the sommelier.
We couldn't remember a better overall experience.
Tremendous service. Ordered small plates and several glasses of wine before the performance of Carmina Burana!
Fantastic service. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful with wine and food choices. We loved the waygu burger!! We will definitely be back.
Our server Kelsey made our visit very pleasant. She took very good care of our group.
I don’t understand the point of having a reservation if I am not seated until 30 minutes after my reservation. I was told if I sat in outdoor seating while waiting, a server would be able to provide me drinks but that didn’t happen either. It also wasn’t really outdoor weather, but I wasn’t provided another option. That being said, the food was good so as long as you are able to enjoy a leisurely dinner, it’s fine.
Super delicious food. Server, Eric, provided great recommendations for wine - we all loved it!
We went to Tannins before a concert at the sprint center. We got there jut before happy hour so we got a great deal on some appetizers and a glass of wine. The food was yummy and Our server was awesome. I would highly recommend for a pre concert drink or dinner.
Everything was excellent. The server suggested a bottle of wine that wasn't on the list and it was just what we were looking for. The chef also allowed one of us to switch meats on one of the dishes. I've will eat there again.
Our server, Ellie, was delightful. Her wine recommendations were perfect!
Great food and great place to meet friends! We had a party of 8 that was in separate room, which we really needed after spending a loud weekend at Power and Light district. My wine drinking friends loved the choices; I loved the crafted beverage options of being a non-wine drinker. We will be back!
Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants which also has an incredible wine venue to sample. Barry and team make Tannin's a welcoming place each visit.
I thought it was an okay experience. The food was good but not over the top amazing. The server was great. The wine selection was great!
The only thing I would say they could improve is portions. I was there with my girlfriend and she and I both left hungry. (She is about 110lbs) Other than that.....You have to go! You can actually have a conversation without yelling, and the staff is amazing!
We decided to go someplace new to celebrate the 45th anniversary of our first date, and this looked like it would meet that requirement. Let me state at the top that it was a good experience, and I’d certainly consider coming back. Food was very good and priced right. I’m a bit disappointed at the prices for a 5 oz pour (if that) of wine - I thought the wine prices were higher than they needed to be. Good selection, though, by the glass. We started with the warm olives and cheese appetizer - the warmth brought out the flavors of the herbs that the olives were marinated in. And, the crostini’s were thin and crisp - worked great with the cheese. We also shared the shrimp and polenta grits - very flavorful. The shrimp, while smallish (5 of them), had a beautiful taste of being grilled as well as seasoned. The polenta was very flavorful as well. The asparagus used was primarily stems, thin and perhaps a bit undercooked/reedy. Overall very tasty. We each had the burger with salad (instead of starch), and both were cooked well and tasted great. There are a number of interesting items on the menu, and our inquiries about them is what leads to my concern about the service. With a fairly limited menu, I think the servers should know everything about each dish. It was clear that was not the case with our server - either that, or he just did not want to be at work that evening. It’s a chopped up layout, and I can’t say it has a warm atmosphere to it. But, no real major issue - just didn’t wow us. If friends invited us to join them here I’d definitely go; not certain I’d make a point of being back soon.
Tannin Wine Bar and Kitchen is always warm and inviting . Especially Sunday evening when it was 10 degrees outside. The food is always just right. This night everyone commented on how the food arrived hot and in a timely manner. The wait staff is always friendly. Frequently, servers from past encounters will come and talk with us. We always enjoy our evenings at Tannin and go there frequently.
Thank you , great live music and wine and the peanut butter cookies were delicious.
Super trendy atmosphere but the ribeye was incredible.
It was great that I was able to secure a reservation on the same evening for 6 people. Everyone enjoyed the food and had a great time. The atmosphere and food was amazing!
Great to visit. Thank you all!
We always have a great time at Tannin Wine Bar. Our server (I don't remember her name) was fantastic. The food was equal. I love going and will be back again.
Great spot to meet with friends. Expertise of staff is the best ever. Food is fabulous with offerings that are different from other places in the area. It was a bit too noisy but definitely worth going back again and again.
We really enjoyed our first time at Tannin. The service was superb and the menu, though somewhat limited was excellent. We also enjoyed a complimentary glass of sparkling wine at the conclusion of dessert. We will be back soon.
Incredible wine expertise. Food was wonderful. I had the risotto and my husband had the Waygu burger.
Although the review may seem bad on the surface, Tannin is a good place to socialize and have a glass a wine. Just not a place to go for a good dinner. We arrived and were sat at a table which was lopsided and no candle. We asked if we should move to a better table and the server said- hold on- I got this and moved a wedge under one of the legs of the table. Never had a candle put at our table. The server was attentive and knowledgeable about the wines. The food was very small portions and did not have a lot of flavor. We saw the table next to us ordered the cheese plate and wine and realized we missed the true calling for the restaurant. Wine was good (but pricey). We would go there again for wine but not for dinner.
Chef was off tonight. Salmon was hard.
My girlfriend and I went for Valentine’s Day. It was a great experience with a delicious soup and steak. I rate the service low not because they weren’t attentive or kind, but they were particularly slow. I’m unsure if it was because it was busier than normal, but each stage of our meal took quite a while to reach us.
My boyfriend and I had Valentine’s Day dinner here this year. They had a special menu for the evening, and the food was outstanding! Our waitress was exceptional as well - very knowledgeable about the wines and food and made our night fun. We always have great experiences at Tannin, and will certainly be back again.
First timer, worked out well with concert! Food was tremendous, server was a good one, gave us all the time we wanted, no rush. Price very good. Have put it on our Top 10 in KC!

EVE is in a sort of renaissance right now in terms of game mechanics.
You don't have to go too far in the memory banks to remember there was a time where new modules were rare and whose effects are were not far reaching. Then we started to get new things that really started to shake up the meta overall and add new mechanics to change the fabric of the game: Micro jump drives, Ancillary Shield Boosters and Armour Repairers, etc. They expanded the gameplay, but did not radically alter it.
When Interceptors got the Immunity to Warp Disrupt Bubbles ability, that marked a change in philosophy that was unexpected but not without precedent. After all, Strategic Cruisers boasted the ability for years before that with the right propulsion subsystem. But it was notable that a ship class was given such a unique ability that did not have it before.
So we come to the Proteus release and Combat Recons have the new exciting ability to be immune from Directional Scanners. This change is not only a continuation of that philosophy sea change where old ship types can get new interesting mechanics, but a game changing direction that opens up a universe of possibilities.
Well, quite simply, the interceptor immunity to bubbles is a mechanic that allows a ship to avoid a player created effect. Its different in implementation but similar in spirit to things that have precedent like warp core stabilizers, or ECM breaking locks, or sensor dampening reducing lock range, or guns hurting hitpoints, etc. One player has a sword and the other player has a shield.
But the directional scanner is not the same thing. Its more part of the overall structure of the game, like jumping, docking, local chat (wormholes excluded) and warping. Used correctly its dependable and accurate. It seemed sacrosanct which is why the new ability for Combat Recons seemed to come so far out of left field for everyone involved.
This is a game changer in terms of future ship design decisions because it means that previous untouchable mechanics are now genuinely on the table to be messed with by new future mechanics.
A ship that makes you delayed in local chat for 30 seconds.
A ship with a button in the HUD that toggles between preset ship hulls so you appear as different ship types on the d-scan.
A ship that can disable a stargate so other pilots cannot jumping through it from this side.
A ship that can delay docking procedures for other ships.
A ship that cannot be locked if you're over 25 km away.
A ship that, when docked, causes all repair and fitting services to go offline.
A ship that, when on grid, causes your overview to malfunciton and mix up the names and ship types so you have to look at a ship to see if its a Vexor or a Tristan.
And so on. The game has changed and the gloves are off and the world is wide open.
Interesting post. After reading this, I thought back to fond memories of sniper BS. What if CCP disabled on-grid warping. I love fighting in FW complexes for that purpose. What if that was everywhere in a slightly lesser form (ie no on-grid warping, but could still warp to 0 from off grid)? That would be a game changer and bring back many tactics from years gone by when probing wasn't as quick.
I agree that I can see development possibly going down this road. These type of changes are not all that far fetched when you consider what they have just done to Combat Recons.
Dare I say CCP is trying to make space more dangerous? What a concept, after the freighter buffs, mining tank buffs, and bubble immunity!

PowerShares Capital Management last month announced the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) to provide direct exposure to a diversified portfolio of Indian securities. The PowerShares India Portfolio, with symbol PIN, was set to begin trading in late February on NYSE Arca, an online securities exchange owned by NYSE Euronext.
“The index on which PIN is based is designed to be the proxy for investable assets into the Indian market,” says Bruce Bond, president and CEO of PowerShares, which is part of Atlanta-based Invesco. The index, compiled by Indus Advisors, is rebalanced quarterly and comprises 50 components from a universe of India-based companies listed on the National and Bombay stock exchanges.
“Because India imposes certain restrictions on foreign holdings, any investable India index must explicitly address these limits,” says Ranga Nathan, managing director of Indus Advisors. The Indus index does this using a proprietary measure of capitalization of foreign investment.
While other ETFs provide indirect exposure to Indian securities, PIN will provide direct and diversified exposure to a broad portfolio of Indian equities. The fund operates through a subsidiary in Mauritius, which has a tax treaty with India.

The story of the Underground Railroad in Lycoming County contains many heroic and courageous persons but none towers over the story so literally and figuratively, as does Daniel Hughes.
Hughes was a man of towering stature, standing between six feet-seven inches and six-feet-10 inches, weighing approximately 300 pounds. He moved to the Williamsport area in 1828 where he married an African-American woman, Ann Rotch.
Hughes’ occupation as a lumber river raftsman operating on the Susquehanna River between Williamsport and the Havre de Grace, Maryland area was the means that enabled him to become involved in smuggling escaped slaves along the Underground Railroad to Williamsport. He then would hide the fugitive slaves at his house located in the vine covered, woods covered area northwest of Williamsport. It was a natural haven. The haven aspect was further reinforced by a series of caves that were located on and near the Hughes property that also further served as a place of refuge for the runaway slaves.
It took great courage and resourcefulness to “conduct” these escaped slaves along the Underground Railroad. Hughes, his wife and 16 children exposed themselves to great risk in their quest to help the slaves “Follow the North Star to Freedom” or as an old Underground Railroad song stated, “Follow the Drinking Gourd.” It was against the law to assist runaway slaves, punishable by imprisonment and fines. Also, many people in the area were unsympathetic to the runaways’ plight and the Hughes and others who aided them were subject to harassment and possible physical violence or even death.
Hughes would most often operate on moonless nights that greatly lessened the possibility of detection by the always-present slave catchers. The slave catchers became more of a hazard after the passage of the “Fugitive Slave Act of 1850,” that allowed slave catchers to operate in the northern states with no legal restrictions. To help thwart the slave catchers Hughes and his sons often would stretch horsehair from one side of trails to the other hoping to catch these bounties hunting slave catchers off guard as they traveled by horse. As the slave catchers came to these areas they would be knocked from their horses and either slowed down or deterred from continuing.
Hughes and his son would conduct the runaways to the next station in Trout Run as they made their way north to Elmira and eventually into Canada where the runaways were not subject to the “Fugitive Slave Act.” The Hugheses contributed further to the African-American community by donating a portion of their land as a cemetery for African-Americans. Among those buried in the cemetery are nine African-American veterans of the Civil War. There is a Pennsylvania Historical Marker at the site of the cemetery, and Loyalsock Township has recently taken over maintenance.
The story of Hughes and the other courageous Lycoming Countians who participated in helping with the Underground Railroad is detailed in an excellent documentary film. “Follow the North Star to Freedom,” made by area documentary maker Karen Frock. Interestingly enough, one of the primary persons assisting Frock in the film was Mamie Sweeting Diggs, the great-granddaughter of Daniel Hughes. She has spoken far and wide preserving the courageous legacy and story of her special great-grandfather.

Copeland , Glynn , Tanner, and Palmer are all gone. He would be the only returning senior. We all know Isaiah has aspirations to play in the NBA. It seems that the majority of those drafted these days are freshmen or sophomores. Looking at his future from Isaiah’s possible perspective , does coming back for his senior year improve his chances in the nba draft? It seems nearly a done deal that there will be a new coach in Nebraska. New coach and a new system. It seems to me that with the big three seniors leaving and tanner as well that there will be less overall talent next year on the floor for the huskers than this year. Could be a long season. Would a losing season hurt his chances of making the nba? Isaiah would likely be playing the 5 spot again for the huskers quite a bit of the time , not his natural position. He would seemingly be the featured scorer which could be good for him as he doesn’t seem to have ever allowed himself to step into that roll. I’m not sure he is capable of that roll. He had so many opportunities after Copeland went down to step up and score and did not do it most of the time. Was it because it’s not the kind of player he is? Did he lack confidence? Was he too unselfish? Was he just not capable of stepping up and becoming a consistent scorer? Is he capable of making it in the nba or was this his audition down the stretch this season in the big ten and he did not pass the test? He has big games from time to time and he does amazing things from time to time. Will coming back help or hurt him? Has he showed enough? ESPNs mock NBA draft online had him at 32 this past week even after the disappointing slide of the Huskers this season and Isaiah’s ups and downs. What do you think ?
IMO, and IMO only, he's gone regardless.
I believe Isaiah Roby will be graduating fairly soon as well.
I hope he gives the new coach a shot at 'recruiting' him to stay. But if he's ready to move on, it's understandable and I certainly wouldn't blame him.
If he's asking me -- and I'm sure he is -- and he has a 1st-round draft grade, there's no way I would recommend that he comes back.
I would love to have him back, but this is a situation where he needs to be very selfish, especially with the coach who recruited him no longer going to be here.
So my guess, the final decision will not be an easy one.
My initial guess, he will be back!
I really, really doubt he grad transfers. Not that I have any personal insight or have ever met him, but he really doesn't seem the type. As deferential as he is on the court, he doesn't seem like the type to switch schools. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he leaves to go pro somewhere though.
Two games ago he looked like a marginal D-league player. The second half today, he looked like a lottery pick. Whatever he decides, he seems like a high character guy and I think things will work out for him no matter what.
I was in Roby's shoes, I'd leave but selfishly, I hope he comes back as really like watching this kid play.
I think it would benefit him with another year of college, but if he is projected in top 32 than I would leave and not think twice. IMO he just needs to work on being more consistent, we see flashes but the consistency still needs work!
I really don't see a value for him in coming back under the current equation. He's going to be stuck playing the 5 all year. That doesn't improve his stock at all. He's going to be a SF/stretch 4 at the next level. If he's not playing there this year, I don't see anything to gain in coming back. He's going to have a learning curve either way. May as well get paid for it.
If he came back he would play the 5 maybe 25 percent of the time tops. No matter who the coach is. Playing the 5 is likely his greatest asset to NBA teams too. Weather he comes back or not he’s been a great guy for this program and I suspect that would continue as an alum.
It would be certainly more fun with Senior Roby leading the squad. He could be a B1G factor in this conference, now that he knows how good he is.
If I’m coaching next year my pitch to Roby is that the whole show runs through him. He isn’t really a 5 on offense as he is a face up player with range. Defensively, he has become a pretty damned good post defender. I actually think this improves his draft stock—gain another 10lbs of muscle and shut down opposing 5s while being a swing player on the other end. That’s a rare NBA bird.
The more I watch Roby, the more his skill set reminds me of Draymond. In fact, I could see a team like Golden State or San Antonio having enough of a keen eye to take him as a late first rounder, but I truly feel that will require a great senior season.
If Roby can graduate soon, it would more than likely be in his best interest to do a grad-transfer year at a power 5 school that it looks like he'll have a huge impact on.
That being said - he'd be our guy in a small ball line-up and would get ample opportunities to abuse opposing teams bigs. He'd also benefit greatly by having two guards who can actually shoot and get to the paint quickly in Burke and Green.
I like your 2nd paragraph more than the first.
If I’m coaching next year my pitch to Roby is that the whole show runs through him.
I genuinely don't know if this would do more to convince him to stay or scare him off. Great kid, but being The Guy doesn't seem to be all that cohesive with his personality.
You don’t think the new coach will bring in a 5? And you don’t think heiman will put on weight? And you think we have someone who’s capable of playing the 4?
Nebraska literally just offered an Iowa Western C right after the Iowa game, even.
It's possible he might. Not a given. Is he ready to play right away? Maybe Heiman puts on weight. Nothing I saw tells me he's anywhere close to taking time from Roby. Right now, no one who is capable of playing high quality minutes at the 4.
It's possible we end up with those guys that allow Roby to play the 4. We absolutely do not have them right now.
Whoever our coach is next year (and all the years after that) needs to be a great recruiter.
It seems mostly that Roby likes it here at Nebraska. If Roby isn't going pro and whomever is the coach here for 2019-20 can't convince him to stay, then maybe we have the wrong guy.

When a relative or friend is reported missing, the emotional impact on families and friends can be considerable. It’s important to acknowledge that each person may be affected in their own way, and react differently.
Families and friends of missing persons often speak about feelings of fear, anger, guilt, blame, frustration, helplessness, ambiguity, and isolation. While people may not experience all these emotions, it is important to recognise that any of these responses are normal reactions to an extraordinary situation.

When you talk of budget-friendly eats and hangouts, you would rarely think of Downtown Miami as the place to find it. This is because the Central Business District of Miami is oftentimes viewed as one of the more expensive places for people to eat and party. There is a lot of truth to this statement, particularly because being the center of business in one of the busiest cities in Florida does warrant the high prices that some restaurants and party joints ask for.
This barbecue joint is reputed to be one of the best in the area and is one where you can get the most out of your hard earned money. They’ve got a menu that includes the usual barbecue staples such as pulled pork, beef brisket, and ribs. They also have chicken, mac and cheese, corn nuggets, fried pickles, and a long list of traditional American favorites.
When it comes to budget-friendly drinks, aim for the $8 beer buckets, which are available between 4pm to 7pm.
Located in the Bayside Marketplace, this bar and restaurant serves you traditional American fare that includes burgers, jalapeno poppers, chicken wings, and many more. Traditional bar grub is what you get from this joint that is open from 11 in the morning to 4 in the morning the next day. If you want to enjoy the ocean breezes, opt for a table outside where you can avoid the crowds at the bar and the noise that comes from the televisions that are found everywhere in the bar.
For your drinking pleasure, they have 30 different kinds of beer on tap and even have drink specials whenever there is a sporting event that locals look out for.
If you are looking for a mixture of Mexican and American cuisine that can be paired with wine, beer, or margaritas, then Chili’s is the place for you in Downtown Miami. Also located in Bayside Marketplace, you can enjoy your favorite fajitas and tacos while you watch the ships cruising by on the water. The place is oftentimes packed so try to get there early to get a good table. It is also one of the few places that stay open really late, with the bar closing just a little past midnight.
Drinks include domestic draft beer, premium draft beer, classic margaritas, and premium margaritas.
Some people equate cost effectiveness with low prices while others equate it with reasonable prices and loads to eat. This Brazilian steakhouse gives you the latter, with reasonable prices in an Eat-all-you-can setting. Imagine being able to eat all the grilled pork and steak you can handle for just $25, with a wide selection to choose from at that. This value for your money deal always sees the restaurant full, so best to make reservations particularly if you are planning to go on a weekend.
If you use a Groupon for your meal, you can get a bottle of house wine with your meal.
Another resto-bar located near the water in Bayside Marketplace, this seafood outlet gives you a wide selection of favorites that include crab cakes, ahi tuna salad, shrimp Cobb salad, and many more. They also serve pizza, Cuban sandwiches, chicken wings, and quesadillas, among other things. They even have paella and burgers on their menu.
You can enjoy your drinks and meals on outdoor tables while watching people pass by and with the ocean breeze blowing around you.
Another Mexican restaurant that you can enjoy eating at without breaking the bank in Downtown Miami is Zona Fresca, which is located along Biscayne Boulevard. This restaurant serves all your Mexican favorites that include burritos, tacos, quesadillas, tostadas, and even nachos. You can also get a few salads from their menu, all of which are priced $10.
The drinks you can get from the bar here include “gringo” beers, Mexican beers, and margaritas.
What do you get when you combine Mexican style food with Asian cooking? You get a fusion restaurant that serves you sushi burritos. Despite the name, not everything you see on the menu is a mix of Japanese and Mexican cuisine. There are also Thai, Chinese, and even Indian influenced fusion dishes on the menu. These include Teeruk shrimp, masala chicken, beefy Korean, and Mt. Fuji sushi burritos, to name a few.
Aside from non-alcoholic teas and lemonades, this restaurant also serves cold sake, craft beers, hot sake, and a selection of wines.
If you are looking for a place to go to after work, either for dinner or just to hang with friends while you have a bite to eat and a quick drink, Station 28 is a good choice. They have a whole selection of specialty burgers that include Lechon burger, chicharon burger, and even traditional American-style bacon cheeseburger. They also have a long list of sandwiches, meals, side dishes, and desserts for you to choose from.
When it comes to the drinks, aside from fresh fruit juices, you can also order Peruvian beer here to wash down your burgers and sandwiches with.

The 25-year-old accused of releasing classified information about Russia’s hacking attempts, has pleaded “not guilty” and more details on her have been released. To start, the investigation has been expanded for more documents and possible attacks she wrote about.
Reality Winner, yes that’s her name, was indicted on charges of “willful retaining and releasing national defense information.” The investigation revealed that she used a flash drive to pull the classified reports. Before she used the flash drive, she searched the web to see if they could detect a flash drive being used.
The notes books and comments have forced prosecutors to search deeper into Winner and what she may be hiding. It does not help that she talked about shopping around the information to different outlets and that she was shocked the document had not been released sooner.
Winner has stood strong on her plea of not guilty but was denied bail earlier this week. Her family had pleaded for her to be released on bail and continued to say that they were still proud of her.
There is not much to be proud of when you daughter has jeopardized national security and have had thoughts of burning down the White House. Winner did not deserve bail, the investigation needs to continue and find the other stuff that she is hiding. We cannot allow for violations like this to be taken lightly and that should include the source that the report had gone to.

on China and Peripheral Areas at Harvard University, which presents area materials through the " integrated course" system. 2 Both Harvard and Columbia, however, emphasize discipline beyond the first year or so of area study, and at least on the doctoral level the student must satisfy the normal requirements for the degree in one of the disciplinary departments. There is no attempt to train "area specialists" as such on this level but rather to train social scientists and humanists with the additional knowledge of an important area of the world. As Mr. Robinson pointed out, " Area programs demand more, not less, than the normal departmental requirements." This obviously poses the problem of adding at least one year to the time necessary for the Ph.D. degree for the student who would combine area study with his discipline. There is compensation for this additional burden, however, as George E. Taylor pointed out, since acquisition of area specialization adds another qualification to the well trained political scientist, economist, or anthropologist. The conference seemed to agree that a discipline is the core to which area knowledge should be added.
ships, responsible for the selection of persons and institutions to pa!ticipate in the program, and for the supervision of educational activities. The Board has delegated the preliminary screening of applicants and related services for grants to three agencies. These are: for grants to those desiring to go abroad as students, the Institute of International Education; for those wishing to teach abroad in national elementary or secondary schools, the U. S. Office of Education; and for those who wish to teach in institutions of higher learning or to pursue postdoctoral work abroad, the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils. The Conference Board will also screen applicants for teaching positions in American elementary and secondary schools in foreign countries. The Department of State is charged with the general administration of the Act, and provides the Secretariat for the Board of Foreign Scholarships. As agreements are concluded with each participating country, an Educational Foundation is set up in that country to administer the program there. Opportunities: To initiate the program in China, the Board of Foreign Scholarships announced that opportunities are now available for 20 United States graduate students to study in institutions of higher learning in China. Persons wishing to inquire about these scholarships, and to obtain application forms, should write to the Institute of International Education, 2 West 45th Street, New York 19, N. Y. The Board has also announced opportunities for 20 United States professors and 10 postdoctoral research scholars to teach or carryon research in connection with institutions of higher learning in China, and similar openings for 6 United States professors in Burma. Inquiries about these grants should be addressed to the Conference Board of Associated Research Councils, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington 25, D. C. . Selection of candidates in general will be guided by excellence of scholastic or professional achievement, and preference will be given to veterans of World Wars I and II. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate a proficiency in the language of the country to which they plan to go wherever it is essential to the project which they propose to undertake. No action can be taken on applications for Fulbright grants in countries other than China and Burma until an agreement has been signed with the particular country. In the meantime requests for information on future programs may be , addressed to the Division of International Exchange of Persons, Department of State, Washington 25, D. C.

The first draft of the report should be ready for review by the committee and members of the profession about February 1, 1949, and publication will follow. It is expected that six or more of the special studies will be issued as separate reports under the committee's auspices. The specific studies now under way involve intensive analysis of libraries in a sample of 66 communities, urban and rural. Five staff members, including the director, have divided the sample for visits and interviews to obtain ma路 terial on library controls, pressures, organization, and rela.
The committee also granted extensions of awards pre. viously made to the following fellows of the Council: Alexander Erlich, New School for Social Research; Louis Guttman, Cornell University; and John A.

ANNOUNCEMENT AREA RESEARCH TRAINING FELLOWSHIPS AND TRAVEL GRANTS With the aim of training social scientists for research on major world areas and promoting research to increase understanding of those areas and their peoples, the Council is offering during 1948 predoctoral and postdoctoral area research training fellowships and travel grants for research in foreign ar~as. Citizens and permanent residents of this country and Canada are eligible. Preference is given to candidates in social science fields, but applications for training in area research in closely related humanistic or natural science fields are considered. Applicants for predortoral fellowships must have ful. filled all requirements for the Ph.D. in a social science or related field except completion of a dissertation. Prefer. ence is given to candidates whose graduate training has centered in systematic interdisciplinary study of an area, and who are not over 30 years of age. but persons without previous area training may apply. Candidates for postdoctoral fellowships must have dem. onstrated their capacity for productive research in a social science or related field. Previous knowledge of the area to be studied is desirable but not prerequisite. Preference is given to applicants not over 35 years of age. Candidates for either type of fellowship must submit a program of study and research which is directly related to the understanding of a major world area and its people. The program is judged on its potentialities for contribut.

ing to such understanding and for advancing the individual in a research and teaching career concerned with that area. Predoctoral candidates may present a subject for a dissertation as a research project. Candidates without previous knowledge of the area of interest must present a plan of preparation for foreign research and this plan normally will be carried out in an appropriate area center or program. Fellowships are awarded for one year but programs for a longer period may be submitted; requests for extensions of tenure will be considered on the basis of performance during the fellowship year. Stipends vary according to time to be spent outside the United States and the transportation and living costs involved. A budget for these expenses must accompany each application. Travel grants are available to mature area specialists. without reference to age, whose competence in research in a particular area has been demonstrated by published work and who need to visit the area to further research in progress. Before applying to the Council other possible sources of aid should be canvassed, as these grants nor· mally will be supplementary and will not exceed $2,500. Applications received by April I, 1948, will be consid. ered for awards in June; those received after April I will be considered for awards in November. Inquiries or re· quests for application blanks, which should indicate age, academic status, and nature of program contemplated, should be sent to Laura Barrett, Secretary to the Committee on Area Research Training Fellowships. at the Council's New York office.

The Minnesota House and Senate Agriculture Committees have formally submitted their resolution to delay the adoption of the proposed nitrogen rule.
Under Minnesota Statutes, section 14.126, subdivision 1, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) may not adopt the proposed rules until after the legislature adjourns the annual session that began after the adoption of this resolution, if a like resolution is adopted by a standing committee of the House of Representatives with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the proposed rules as designated by the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The action taken by the legislature will not delay any of the proposed regulatory actions as they will not go into effect until 2020. This simply gives elected officials and stakeholders, including Minnesota farmers and ranchers, more time to address any remaining questions and concerns with the rule. It is unclear how this will impact the Administrative Law Judge Hearings scheduled for this summer. It is our understanding that the MDA will continue to host the remaining informational meetings around the state.
The committees adopted Chapter 14.126 which allows the standing committees with jurisdiction to vote to advise an agency that a proposed rule should not be adopted as proposed, the agency may not adopt the rule until after the next legislative session that began after the vote of the committees. This resolution does not require further action by the full legislature or the Governor.

I've seen it mentioned getting a more perfect foam surface on the wings, winglet, & canard before glassing can result in fewer imperfections that need to be filled and reduces the effort to finish them. But when I look at pics of fuselages being finished, it seems that the exterior foam commonly had rather large imperfections that simply gets filled with micro after glassing. Has anyone made an attempt to lightly sand the fuselage exterior to remove surface deviations so they wouldn't need to glob in micro after the layups?
i sanded my tanks before i glassed them, and if the foam was good to start with then the sanding was good but if the foam is bad then sanding won't help much. you should not sand the foam thin. unless you have a engineer to say "thin is OK"
Thanks Steve. I don't know why I put this under Firewall Back & Fore. I better not get retracts. No, I wouldn't want to sand elevated areas to the point where it gets thin, but maybe just a little. And there must be a way to deal with depressions by pressing them out from the inside or filling with a thin layer of similar foam (rather than the soft pour foam) in a way that you could sand it level. It just seems like it's common to not do anything about depressions until after glassing then you glob in micro. Easier to sand foam than micro, so I hear.
No matter how perfect your surfaces turn out to be, it still requires the same amount of work to mix the micro, spread it, and contour it. If you follow the Big Fill directive, you'll only fill once and sand once. That's the key.
(1) yes, strive for well-cut cores. But there's no need to overdo it. Whatever work you do to overcut the cores, then sand to exact contour might make you feel good and elevate your stature as one who cares about workmanship. But, it's going to get lost in the work it will take to hide the staggered plies at the wingtips and the strengthening plies around the bolt holes.
(2) Strive for adjoining surfaces that mate well together. Fixing mismatches -- like between the wings and the center spar -- does take extra work.
(3) And think about this. UNI fibers on wings are supposed to be straight to within 1/16th of an inch. If your cores are wavy due to wire lag, then you should fix the cores or sand to make them more true to meet the fiber inspection criteria, not to improve the chances of doing less work in the finishing process. If your surfaces are within this sixteenth inch structural criteria, you're already a leg up on the finishing process!
(4) Understand the finishing process now. You can hide a myriad of sins with micro. I spent many an extra hour trying to fix or perfect the fiberglass layups -- not to improve structural quality, but to improve chances of doing less finishing work. That was a hopeless effort and an eventual waste of time. I spent extra hours with no retrieved benefit. (See note #1.) You only gain this knowledge by discovering this yourself or by listening to others.

My question boiled down to: is it worth the effort to smooth foam depressions & elevations of the >>fuselage exterior<< before glassing. Sounds like you guys saying "not really".
I should've explained that I've seen some fairly sizeable depressions on a fuselage exterior, about 1/4inch, getting filled with micro after the layups cured. I guess there must be a limit to the size of these foam surface imperfections, a case-by-case judgement call is needed.
If you're talking about dings and gouges in the foam, sure. Cut out a small block of foam around the ding, 5 minute or micro a new piece in (keeping the glue away from the edges) and sand smooth. No one will ever know.
It depends on the size of the ding. The micro prep before glassing will fill the small stuff.
OK, thanks Steve, Wayne, John.
This requirement always bugs me because I think it is unobtainable. I know from experience now that I can have something twelve feet long that is not straight to within 1/16" and it can look good to the eye. It can also look good with a 4 foot straight edge. But, when I use a laser or taught fishing line (if Wayne is the king of drywall screws, then I am the king of fishing line), then I can tell it is not perfectly straight. Now, how are you going to do this when laying up the canard or wing on a fiber by fiber basis?
I think this is more like a goal to motivate you to do your best. Kind of like the places in the plans that ask you to cut particle board to an accuracy of 0.01" with a power saw! I am guessing that is why you said "supposed to" above.
I agree that 1/16th inch is a very tight tolerance. Seems out of whack given that tolerances are a bit lax on other areas in the plans. But it can be met by pulling each individual uni fiber from both ends. (Takes two people to do that.) I did it on my canard and main wings. Pulled every single fiber and got them all straight. And yes, I did spot check alot of them with a long straight edge. Took some time, but I bet I got very close to that tolerance.
I highly suspect that the 1/16th inch tolerance is a carryover from the VariEze plans. The tolerance would be more obtainable on VariEze wings since they are not as long as Long-EZ or Cozy wings. The tolerance may be more important on the Vari wing since the most of the wing doesn't have a spar. IIRC, the Vari wing spar is about 2 feet long, starting at the wing attachments. After that, the wing relies on the UNI fibers to carry to bending loads.
I'll go back and study the inspection criteria. Could I have read it wrong?
I seem to recall a picture in the canard publisher where the builder glassed a canard chordwise instead of spanwise.
This canard was loaded up to something lke 8+ G's before it broke.
In any case keep the fibers as straight as possible. I pulled like Wayne did but not each and every fiber.
One of the great things about these planes is the long history and the many built by many people.
I am quite sure the quality varies greatly, each persons good enough will vary.

Does an employee have to provide details of the medical condition/illness that requires extended leave or is it sufficient (to protect employee privacy) to have supervising doctor indicate time off is valid with no details in a signed letter if no form is provided by employer to the job class of employee but the information is requested by the employer in the extended leave policy?
(4) If the employee is the patient, information sufficient to establish that the employee cannot perform the essential functions of the employee's job as well as the nature of any other work restrictions, and the likely duration of such inability (see §825.123(b) and (c)).
I'm not clear if the extended leave you are referring to is FMLA leave, but there are no laws that limit inquiry into "extended leave" per se; i.e., the FMLA rules would be the only limitation on inquiry. And, as you can see, the FMLA allows for a fairly extensive inquiry.
In this case the employee does not qualify under the employer's criteria for FMLA because the employee does not work enough hours per year as specified in the employee's annual contract.
If there are no laws that limit inquiry into 'extended leave' then are there any that define what is the minimum required information that must be provided by the employee so that their health/medical privacy is protected and the request can still be reviewed and approved by the HR department?
No there is no such law for minimum required information. Conceivably an employer could just take an employee at his word. If HR does collect medical information however, it is supposed to be kept in a secure file and not part of the personnel file.

When you begin the process of locating an occupational therapy college or occupational therapy training program, it’s imperative that you locate a learning institution that is accredited. This step is important for numerous reasons, including the fact that accredited schools have to conform to rigorous educational and/or legal guidelines. In so doing, they will almost always offer you courses that are more standardized and appropriate than learning institutions that are not accredited. Since this is so, be sure that you’re using the keyword “accredited” for your online search. To get started, you can enter a phrase like “Find Accredited Occupational Therapy Certification Courses in Wichita, KS.” Also note that you can search for occupational therapy classes online.
An occupational therapist who works in Wichita, KS can expect to bring in $77,000 annually. However, it’s important to note that there are several factors that can alter one’s annual income. Some of those factors include your employer, level of education, areas of expertise, and any on-going training programs you may have enrolled in.

One of the most commonly used swiss pin-lever movements with date indication was the caliber 8805 of Ebauches Bettlach.
It only uses one single jewel, which is used together with a KIF Protechoc shock protection for the very light balance wheel. This balance wheel is so light, that it tends to stop on many external influences. A more thick and heavier Glucydur balance, maybe even with screws, would not be influenced at all, but continue ticking.
The simple construction of this movement leads to some rather curiousities: On the main plate, you see four bearings, but only three of them are used for gears, the fourth one (located at “6:30”) is just empty. Why? No idea… Furthermore, the mainspring is secured on top only by a small metal bracket and the click spring works on the crown wheel instead of the mainspring wheel.
The pin lever movement has got a directly driven center second hand and beats with slow 18000 A/h. On the other hand, a moveable stud and an armless hairspring regulator is used, so you see an interesting mixture of outdated, contemporary and cheap techology on this movement.
On the dial side, this movement is rather familiar constructed with a yoke winding mechanism and a date construction, which switches instantly at 12:00 and can be advanced by turning the hands forth- and backwards.

Okay, it happens. You're in a rush, or you try to squeeze one last shave out of an edge you knew you were lucky with that last time, and BAM – it's a not-so-surprise visit from your old Uncle Nick! This time, instead of reacting on impulse, reach for the Col Conk Styptic Pencil. It's not only more sanitary, it's formulated specially to deal with bleeding. The Styptic Pencil is antihemorrhagic – a technical way to say that its active ingredients seal the blood vessels by causing tissues to contract. Best of all, it works – and quickly. Much better than having those telltale tiny squares of you know what to stick and dry on your face. 1.5" tall, in a black plastic case. Made in England.
Weepers or nicks and this styptic will stop it quick. Handy size vs. roll on style so it's eminently packable for travel or just put in pocket. Another mfr makes a gel which is good too but sometimes makes for a shiny out of place "face repair" so i prefer using these pencil types. I shoulda' got a bunch more but this one will last at least a year if not more IMO if kept dry after use. Which I hope not to use often at all! I use a straight razor daily, DE if really pushed for time. Any shaver using a blade needs a styptic.
Hey, I wanted to share "Colonel Conk #2 Styptic Pencil in Black Tube Case" with you from KnifeCenter.
