These additions add to the experience for both new and old players, making this release incredibly exciting for fans from the original 2007 release, as well as for those looking for additional content for the very first time.

Beyond the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands lies a realm shattered by the machinations of the Burning Legion: Outland, the once beautiful orc homeworld of Draenor. Seek out its mysteries beginning June 1 when Burning Crusade Classic launches around the world.”

Starting May 18th, the pre-expansion patch will be released for download and each character must choose whether to advance onward to Burning Crusade, move to a Classic Era realm, or use the Character Clone service to play in both games.

“Heroes who choose to cross the Dark Portal will find themselves in Hellfire Peninsula, an aptly named barren wasteland, where fel orcs and cruel demons roam free. The established outposts of Thrallmar (for the Horde) and Honor Hold (for the Alliance) are not able to deter this endless tide of darkness on their own. It is up to you to fight for this shattered world to rid it from evil. . . or watch its demonic denizens consume everything you hold dear.”

World of Warcraft players croon over glasses


No matter where you turn in the World of Warcraft community these days, it seems like there’s a whole lot of depression and anger. Retail players are barely tolerating the bizarrely long wait until Patch 9.1, consoling themselves with datamined reveals like cosmetic glasses. Admittedly, the glasses are really neat (and long overdue). But glasses aren’t going to reverse a downward spiral all by themselves.To get more news about buy wow tbc gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Over in the WoW Classic crowd, what should be a month of eager anticipation for the June 1st release of Burning Crusade Classic has gotten real ugly, real fast thanks to inflated prices for cloning services and a deluxe edition that doesn’t even include a game (since you get the expansion anyway). Even WoW’s biggest streamers are leveling strong criticism against Blizzard’s handling of these macrotransactions.
These factions are both distinct in a multitude of ways. Each has its own races, storylines, philosophies, and variations, as well as major characters and history throughout the WoW universe that give them their own flair and identity. Your faction also affects certain areas of gameplay, like which zones you can play and quests you can take. Similar to realms, players in opposing factions cannot play or interact with each other. So if you are playing with friends, make sure to pick the same faction to play together.

There are an additional 5 allied races that can be unlocked for each faction by acquiring certain achievements. Each race has its own looks and cosmetics you can customise to help make them your own. Additionally, each has unique racial abilities that can grant a bonus to certain stats, give you an extra ability, or provide a useful utility.

World of Warcraft Classic Goes Back to Outland June 1



It was back in 2007 when adventurers from around the world were tasked to go to the Outland and confront the Betrayer Illidan Stormrage. As it turns out, everyone has that chance again this coming June 1 with the release of World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic.To get more news about cheap wow gold, you can visit lootwowgold official website.

Long-time fans should be familiar with this first-ever expansion of World of Warcraft. It was then when players had to protect Azeroth from the forces of the Burning Legion, and the new title is a genuine recreation of that event. Like before, players get to explore a new world and access two new playable races: the blood elves and draenei.
In preparation for the upcoming launch, a pre-expansion patch will be released on May 18. Once this patch arrives, players can choose to move forward with their characters to Burning Crusade Classic or stay and continue to play the WoW Classic content.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Releases Final Trailer
There is, however, a way to experience the best of both worlds, so to speak. Blizzard is offering players the choice to use the character cloning service which lets them continue playing a copy of existing characters either on Burning Crusade Classic or a Classic Era realm. There’s a catch and it’s a big one. If you choose the cloning service, it will cost you $35 per character.

On May 18 as well, those who proceed to Burning Crusade Classic can try blood elf and draenei characters and experience the corresponding starting zones, which are the Azuremyst Isles and Eversong Woods. This should be a good way to prepare before the Dark Portal opens on June 1. There’s also a limited-time event where players can meet some of the demonic agents coming from the Dark Portal.

In a press statement, Blizzard President J. Allen Brack shared that for many WoW players, the Burning Crusade was but the first step to a big adventure that many of them are still part of today. He added that the Burning Crusade Classic hopes to give players the chance to experience Outland again.

How To Travel Domestically In China




At the time of writing (Jan 2021), China’s borders are still closed to most international travelers. We’ve updated this article for those already in China and, if you’d like to be notified when we know more about the borders reopening, please sign up for our newsletter. We’ll make sure you’re the first to hear when anything changes.To get more news about Shanghai travel tips, you can visit shine news official website.

As a foreigner in China, you’ll have heard about the green travel Health Code. You’ll know it’s your ticket to traveling around China, to taking a flight or train and staying in a hotel but, if you didn’t leave your city last year, you may not have used it. If you’re considering traveling this Spring, here are our tips for preparing before you leave.

First thing, make sure you’ve got the English version of the Health Code app downloaded (or the WeChat or AliPay alternatives). This app was designed specifically for foreigners living in China and international visitors. Although some of you may be able to use the previously released WeChat and Alipay apps, other foreigners could not, potentially because their English names were too long. The updated system is purpose-built to recognize foreign names and passport information.To download, either in your app store or within WeChat or Alipay, copy (guo-jia–zheng–fu–fu–wu-ping-tai) into the search bar. Once installed, tap ‘Health Code Traveler Version’ (as pictured above) and follow the instructions to register. Once completed, your traveler information should be updated automatically within 12 hours.

The built-in mini-programs are all about tracking where you have been. Upon registering, you will be asked a series of questions, including your whereabouts for the last 14 days and if you’ve had COVID-19 symptoms. Alternatively, if you use the WeChat Health Kit mini-program, you just need to enter your name and passport number, then upload a picture of your ID (all in English!). Based on your answers, and whether you’ve been in a high-risk area or in close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case, you will be given a colored QR code: red, green, or yellow. You’re looking for that magic green code that says it’s ok to travel.

Even though the green code is an officially sanctioned ‘okay to travel,’ different cities and provinces issue their own codes. So, before you travel anywhere outside your region, you need to apply for a green code at your intended destination. Sometimes this is as easy as clicking through a few screens, other times it can take up to 48 hours to be approved. Plan ahead. Additionally, some provinces and cities are requiring travelers to undergo a COVID-19 test before traveling.

We are here to help. While getting the most up-to-date information on regulations in each region isn’t always easy, we can assist and guide you through overcoming any challenges you may encounter traveling domestically. Once you’ve selected your destination(s) it’s generally easiest to ask hotels from those different cities to send you codes for that particular city to scan and complete before you arrive. If you’re traveling with WildChina, we’ll send you everything you need.Regulations and screening can be especially tough on foreigners in some instances, even if you’ve been in China the entire time. But, don’t let that deter you from experiencing this beautiful country. When you’re ready to travel make sure – at a minimum – that you have your health code ready, a valid copy of your ID, and a mask and hand sanitizer to hand. As mentioned, some cities do require a COVID-19 test as well.

As we all know, regulations can change at any time, so we do recommend getting a COVID-19 test before you travel, even if there aren’t specific regulations in place. Please feel free to send us a direct message for up-to-date information at any time.

Xi Jinping's culture war comes to China




When it comes to making history, Beijing's universities have played an outsized role: they were the source of the demonstrations which kicked off the May Fourth Movement, to which the Chinese Communist Party traces its roots, and the Tiananmen Square protests, perhaps the biggest challenge to the CCP since it took power.To get more chinese culture news, you can visit shine news official website.

So it makes sense then that President Xi Jinping, as he looks to further consolidate his rule ahead of the Party's centennial later this year, would pay special attention to the country's top schools.
In a visit to Tsinghua University this week, Xi praised the Beijing institution for cultivating a "glorious tradition of patriotism" and encouraged students to be "both red and professional," a phrase which dates to the Mao Zedong era.
"Be firm in your beliefs, always stand with the Party and the people, and be a firm believer and faithful practitioner of socialism with Chinese characteristics," said Xi, adding that "a splendid flower blooms in the unremitting struggle."
Along with several other elite Beijing institutions, Tsinghua is one of China's top universities, and graduates can be expected to take up key roles in the future in government and business. If the Party is to maintain its ideological stranglehold on the country, it will depend on this next generation of thinkers to follow the leadership of Xi's cohort.
The Chinese leader was himself a Tsinghua student in the 1970s, but his education was disrupted by the Cultural Revolution, a decade of bloody political and social upheaval initiated by Mao's attempts to shore up control of the Party and country. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed as parts of the country fell into something approaching civil war, while millions more were displaced and traumatized as society broke down around them.Only ending with Mao's death, the Cultural Revolution broke many people's faith in Communism, and was followed by capitalist reforms and opening up, a major proponent of which was Xi's father, Xi Zhongxun, who along with future paramount leader Deng Xiaoping was purged several times during the Mao years.
Today, however, as Xi's government prepares for the grand centennial celebrations, the events of 1966-76 are, like any other blemishes in the Communist Party's record, best forgotten. Under Xi, the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao himself, the Party is once again ascendant, taking an active role in all levels of society.
This month, Beijing launched a campaign to promote the correct study of "Party history" and to root out "historical nihilism," that is, discussion of history in a way that does not conform to the official line.
April 15 was China's sixth National Security Education Day, an event marked by rallies and celebrations in both mainland China and, for the first time, Hong Kong, where police goose-stepped and children were encouraged to buy riot police stuffed toys.Not everything about the campaign was so cuddly, however, with a graphic published in mainland state media warning people to be on the look out for foreign spies, including those who target university students and teachers, attempting to steal information or "incite defection."
Academia has already come in for increased scrutiny under Xi, with student groups and outspoken professors being cracked down upon, while foreigners have found it harder to conduct research in China and even faced sanctions for publishing work critical of Beijing's actions in Xinjiang.
This will likely only continue over the centennial year: in a piece on "historical nihilism" this week, historian David Ownby noted the phrase had been employed in the past "to condemn historians, scholars, anyone who dares to challenge orthodoxy, received wisdom, national myths," warning it could be a prelude to further crackdowns on intellectuals and Party critics.
In a speech earlier this year, Xi warned that "hostile forces at home and abroad make use of the history of the Chinese revolution and the history of the new China, doing their utmost to attack, vilify and smear them, with the fundamental aim of ... inciting the overthrow of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and our socialist system."
And in a front page piece last week, the People's Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Communist Party, laid out a comprehensive propaganda campaign for the rest of the year leading up to the centennial, under the theme "Forever Following the Party."
The campaign includes 80 new slogans, such as "Unity is strength, only with unity can we move forward" and "Closely uniting around the Central Party Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, seizing a new victory in the comprehensive building of a modern socialist state."
According to Hong Kong University's China Media Project, the "top-down release of such slogans for broad national propaganda campaigns was unseen in post-reform China before 2019."
Nor will the campaign be limited to the educational or political spheres: according to new guidance released this month by China's National Radio and Television Administration -- the country's top cultural censor -- "radio and television organizations at all levels should strengthen the Party's overall leadership."

When financial markets have been eyeing on issues such as China-U.S. relations, the U.S. presidential election and the second wave of the pandemic, Europe seems to be gearing up for a black swan, an event in which a deterioration will trim the recently weak euro even lower.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

　　A barrage of large-scale demonstrations broke out after Belaruss presidential election because local people suspected Lukashenka conducted ballot rigging and called for his resignation. With an 80% approval rating and the strong support from Russian President Vladimir Putin, Lukashenka won the re-election and refused to step down, which worsened the situation on the ground.The European Union officially refused to recognize Lukashenka as the new president of Belarus, saying the announced results were fraudulent and did not convey legitimacy. At the same time, the UK declared it would impose sanctions against Belarus while French President Emmanuel Macron also called on Lukashenko to step down. Nevertheless, the Belarusian government still took a hard line and accused outside meddling in the internal affairs. It seems Belarus is seeing further deterioration rather than embracing a peaceful settlement.

　　While the ostensible opponent of the EU is Belarus, the actual one is Russia. The battle between the two sides over the Belarus dispute will upgrade the tension in Europe. Once the situation in Belarus gets out of hand, the euro may swallow a bitter pill.　　In the financial market, several events have staged their performance: the UK-EU trade talks from Monday to Friday, the first US presidential debate and the release of US GDP on Wednesday, the EU summit on Thursday, and the release of US jobs data on Friday. The EU summit was expected to see the sanction against Belarus unanimously passed, thus Russias response would be thrust into the spotlight. These events would spoil the fun in the financial market.

Among the various uncertainties in the global financial markets, Brexit negotiations and the US presidential election are the most concerned. In terms of Brexit, it is reported that the UK government will officially withdraw from negotiations with the EU if a deal isn't achieved this week. The British government has repeatedly stressed the seriousness of the statement, with a deadline of October 15 (this Thursday) set by Prime Minister Johnson. While both sides have acknowledged they are at loggerheads, Johnson indicated that the country's trading arrangements with the EU would be like Australia's if no deal was reached.To get more news about >WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

　　Johnson's Internal Market Bill, which has passed its third reading in the Commons, is aimed to be an incentive for the EU to make concessions. But the Bill is a violation of the Brexit agreement signed earlier. The EU thus intends to take Britain to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). With that said, I believe the impasse can hardly find a break since the UK has tried to get concessions from the EU by breaking international law, and since the EU will be determined to sue the UK for the unacceptable illegal means. The pound may see a wide drop under selling pressures once the EU takes the UK to the ICJ immediately after the British government announces its withdrawal from the negotiations this Thursday.
In terms of the US presidential election, Trump failed to chalk up sympathy votes by his speedy recovery from COVID-19. Besides, his approval ratings haven't received any upside despite Vice President Pence's average performance in the television debate against another candidate. In this case, Trump is likely to fight back with unusual tactics, which may raise the uncertainty in the market and sentiment. As a result, the US dollar will have a chance to rally bolstered by the lasting risk aversion. Conversely, the pound may be dragged down by Brexit uncertainties. In the following week, the selling of the pound may be enduring unless Johnson dramatically makes significant concessions to resolve the crisis of hard Brexit. But in my opinion, to break the deadlock is difficult because the purpose of Johnson's Internal Market Bill is to force the EU to make concessions rather than doing so himself.

After the EU‘s chief negotiator Michel Barnier had a 12-hour tunnel 
talk with the UK last Friday, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s 
official spokesman stated that although some progresses had been made, 
it is a pity that both sides did not reach an agreement due to some 
divergences. The EU hoped that the UK can make more concessions to reach 
the trade agreement that has been discussed for a long time.To get more 
news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx.com official website.

　　The financial market seems to believe that both sides will reach an 
agreement, which brought a continuous rebound sterling. Hence, GBP/USD 
rallied to 1.3049 from 1.2675 recorded on September 23th, showing no 
worry about the UKs hard brexit in the financial market. Johnson said 
last week that according to an ultimatum, if the agreements are not 
likely to be reached before October 15th, the UK will terminate the 
negotiation completely and plan to brexit without trade agreements.

It is believed that the EU will file a suit against the UK on its 
internal market bill, so more attention should be paid in the next few 
days. And sterling is supported by the easing atmosphere in the 
negotiation. If sterling keeps rebounding, there would be a dramatic 
turning point that the final trading agreement is signed between the UK 
and EU. However, be careful that the good news may bring more attention 
in addition to some risks. The latest economic data released by the UK 
seems very bad, and its future data is expected to be worse due to the 
second round of COVID-19 outbreak.

　　Therefore, the Bank of England is more likely to impose negative 
interest rates or strong quantitative easing. It is estimated that some 
senior traders will seize the chance to sell in the market, and sterling 
may drop from a high level under the pressure. If the good news comes, 
sterling may challenge the upward resistance level of 1.3186-1.3267. So 
investors should be careful about buying at the level area. Meanwhile, 
sterling is set to fall to the level of 1.28 due to the possible hype 
based on the negative news in the market.

The cell effects of “heat-not-burn tobacco” products can be as harmful as tobacco



The effects of heat-not-burn tobacco products, a hybrid of traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes, on lung cells can be as harmful as traditional cigarettes, a small comparative study published online in the journal. Suggests the result of. rib cage..To get more news about Hitaste Hi10, you can visit hitaste.net official website.

Heat-not-burn tobacco products contain nicotine and tobacco, but as a less harmful alternative to traditional tobacco because they do not produce certain harmful chemicals that are released when tobacco burns. It is sold from.

Smoking still kills 6 million people worldwide each year. Increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. This is because it plays a role in all stages of arteriosclerosis and occlusion.Specifically, it contributes to endothelial dysfunction. This causes the inner layers of large and small blood vessels to become abnormal, causing the arteries to contract instead of dilating and the blood vessels to become more inflamed. Oxidative stress-excess of harmful cell by-products; platelet activation-production of “sticky” blood. Occurrence of plaque that can block arteries.

So they consisted of 20 nonsmokers (mean age 28 years), 20 conventional smokers (mean age 27 years), and 20 long-term users of heat-not-burn tobacco products (mean age 33 years). We compared endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and platelet activation. ..

Traditional smokers pass through 13 sticks a day for an average of 3.5 years. Heat-not-burn tobacco users used about 11 products daily for an average of 5 years.The findings showed that long-term use of heat-not-burn tobacco products was associated with decreased endothelial function, oxidative stress and increased platelet activation compared to smoking cessation.

Also, there was no significant difference between traditional smokers and users of heat-not-burn tobacco products.Since this is an observational study, the cause cannot be determined. And researchers acknowledge some restrictions on their findings.

This is due to the small number of study participants involved, the lack of random assignments to each group, and the inability to ensure that participants are not dual users of both traditional cigarette and heat-not-burn tobacco products. included.
