![]() Guess what you did when you were far back from your team, finding a spot to setup as sentry? you had a self heal so you didnt have to bother your healers to come find you every time Guess what you did when genji deflects mid fight? you heal up the damage he dealt to you Guess what you did when a dva dived you and held Defense matrix while spamming missles on you? You self healed during that downtime This lack of defenses was mitigated by the fact that you could heal, self healing helped a lot to cover for the down time of bastion, while he moved, or while he was being attacked No defensive abilities other than a passive.One of the biggest issues of the removal of self repair is that bastion has: They said they want bastion to play as a psudo-sniper with his new gun, but the question is Why? bastion does NOT have the ability to get to high ground to snipe at enemies, he also has a huge hitbox, Why would he play as a psudo sniper? I…dont have much to say about this ability…its kind of more of a “Why?” kind of thing? it just doesnt feel right on bastion The ability to remain in sentry indefinetly is what separated the good bastion players against the bad bastion players, bad bastion players would just pick a spot and sit there and just be predicteable, where a smart team could easily predict their location and kill them, Good bastion players constantly remain on the move to catch their oponents by suprise There is also part of the skillset of bastion to know when its the right time to remain in that mode, and when its the right time to move, however that decision is no longer necesary as the game holds your hand and forcibly removes you from sentry It went from this big power moment, but one you had to handle with care with its tradeoff to just…another boring cooldown ability. Right now based on the playtests, his damage feels…very low on sentry, it took him like what, 2 to 3 seconds to finish off that winston? maybe more? The sentry mode damage reduction in my opinion kind of ruins the point of having sentry, The point was this big tradeoff (mobility) for this big reward (insane damage) As someone who has played bastion pretty much the most out of any hero in overwatch (check my profile if you dont believe me, its public) i want to voice my concerns over the bastion reworks, going 1 by 1 for each ability first then adressing some common responses:

It’s now easier than ever to enjoy stainless steel appliances without worrying about how you will keep them clean. As such, you should never use a generic black touch-up paint because the result could wind up being obvious. Keep in mind that black stainless colors vary a great deal between manufacturers. Buff softly with a microfiber cloth and the scratch will simply fade away. For deeper scratches, consult your manufacturer for touch-up paint that will cover them precisely. You can cover minor scratches with a gray or black sharpie marker. Fortunately, these are also easy to resolve. So you may notice silver or gray streaks showing through if you encounter a scratch. For extremely stubborn build-up, repeat the process using fresh lemons.īlack stainless steel has an outer layer of black oxide over top of regular stainless steel. ![]() Any gunk that was inside your oven should now be loose enough for you to scrub away. Remove the dish and allow the oven to cool slightly.Place the lemon halves inside the dish and bake on low heat for around 30 minutes.Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a baking dish containing an inch or two of water.But if you do need a more thorough cleaning, follow these steps: If possible, you should wipe up spills immediately so they do not build up inside your oven. It’s possible to clean your black stainless steel oven without using strong chemicals. Powdery cleaners (even those containing baking soda).Ammonia-based solutions (including window cleaner).Accordingly, you should avoid certain things such as: That’s not at all the case with black stainless steel. You may be used to thinking that vigorous scrubbing or strong chemicals are needed to clean kitchen appliances. Of course, if you do have a spill or splatter you should clean your appliance right away. So it’s important to wipe your appliances down weekly, even if they do not appear dirty. As such, you should not just assume that your appliance is clean because it actually may not be. That’s really all you need to keep your appliances looking like new. Keep in mind that small spills may not show. Next, dry and lightly buff the surface using a microfiber towel. Using a soft cloth, wipe down the top and sides of your appliances with warm water and a mild detergent such as Dawn dish soap. Instead, you can easily clean your appliances using items you already have in your kitchen. With black stainless steel, there is no need to purchase special cleaning products. How easy is it to keep black stainless steel appliances clean? Here’s all you need to know. Black stainless steel offers the same aesthetics as regular stainless steel, yet is surprisingly easy to maintain. Recognizing the drawbacks of traditional stainless steel, several manufacturers have recently begun offering alternative-black stainless steel. This made it notoriously difficult to maintain, particularly since certain cleaners could permanently streak the finish. But stainless steel did come with one drawback, and that was that even the slightest fingerprints and smudges were highly visible. They provided an elegant, timeless appeal that made them the go-to favorite for a number of people. Stainless steel appliances were first introduced in the 1990s and quickly caught on in popularity. ![]() Macnutt (1966, 32ff) provides detailed advice on the construction of the grid and discusses different arrangements. Crossword GridsĤOrdinary daily newspaper crosswords (as opposed to themed special crosswords, which appear on holidays or special occasions) have symmetrical grids consisting of 15 x 15 squares, and ideally at least half of the “lights” (white squares) are “checked” (meaning that they form part of two separate answers). An excellent example from the master setter Araucaria (John Graham) is this: This type is not covered by Macnutt’s taxonomy, presumably, it would fall into his miscellaneous “various” category, and might be characterized as an “embodiment” clue. At least one species of clue, in which the answer comes from describing the clue itself, seems to be more common recently. Some clue types, such as those based on literary quotation, appear to be less common in recent years, while some new conventions and clue types have developed. Although some have been more rigorously “Ximenean” than others, it is fair to say that the tradition of “cluesmanship” (Macnutt 1966, 42) has been remarkably consistent a crossword solver doing a regular puzzle in a daily newspaper over the last 50 years would not have experienced much change in the form and style of clues. In the decades since, crossword setters have largely conformed to these core principles. In his seminal work Ximenes on the Art of the Crossword (1966), Ximenes presents a taxonomy of clue types and principles for setters to adhere to in the interests of fairness. The wholly cryptic crossword evolved by the early 1940s, since which time cryptic crosswords have appeared daily in all major British newspapers.ģSeveral different types of cryptic clue emerged in the first forty years of the tradition, and the “rules” for setting clues were codified by the influential early setters Afrit (Alistair Ferguson Ritchie) and Ximenes (Derrick Somerset Macnutt). However, the first modern crossword did not appear until 1913, when Arthur Wynne authored a word-square puzzle which was published in the New York World (figure 3).Ĭrosswords featured in British newspapers from 1923, and, within a few years, some began to include clues which were more than “plain definitions,” such as “elusive definitions,” anagrams, and “hints” (Macnutt 1966, 19). A Brief History of the Cryptic Crossword in BritainĢWord-square puzzles such as the Sator Square (figure 1) have existed since ancient time (Austin 1939), and riddles such as those found in the Exeter Book (figure 2) are among the earliest English-language documents we have. Other types of cryptic clues exist, but this type (definition with instructions for construction) is the most common in modern cryptic crosswords and will be the focus of this article. The “constructor” can be explained thus: put a word for “dog” (CUR) inside a word for “insight” (SEE) to create SECURE, which can be glossed as “guard.” The coherence of the familiar phrase “guard dog” confounds the solver’s attempt to separate the constructor from the definition, as does the fact that the word “sight” is a noun in the context of the whole clue, but a verb when used as part of the constructor. ![]() The definition here is the first word alone. The words comprising the “constructor” (my term for instructions for constructing the answer) are purposely obscured by their distribution across a phrasal boundary. The answer is PUDDING BASIN, an anagram of “pub sign add in,” defined by “Cook’s vessel.” The instruction to decode an anagram is provided by the word “amending.” The complete clue suggests perhaps the addition of HMS Endeavour to a pub signboard. 2 “Cruciverbalists” (crossword compilers) are customarily known by pseudonyms, a tradition which goes (.)Īmending pub sign, add in Cook’s vessel (7,5).Finally, I present a TEI schema and an approach to encoding the components of cryptic crossword clues in a way that enables algorithmic analysis of trends, features, and clue types, with a view to creating a historical corpus of encoded clues which will illuminate the evolution of the tradition. Many cryptic clues depend for their effect on confusing the solver through the use of overlapping syntactic and semantic hierarchies, so they serve as evidence that overlapping hierarchies are not merely an unfortunate limitation afflicting XML languages but are psychologically and linguistically real. I argue that cryptic crossword clues have a great deal in common with poetry, and that we have much to learn from their structure. This article outlines a short history of the cryptic crossword and explains how cryptic clues work. The cryptic crossword is a highly sophisticated and challenging type of intellectual puzzle that has been a daily feature of British newspapers 1 for nearly a century, and yet the culture and traditions surrounding it have received little scholarly attention. Keep that in mind as you follow this game along.īut what about past Super Bowls that have had an identical scenario to what we've got this year. That wasn't able to happen in last year's game, but the four other times a scoreless 1st quarter in the Super Bowl has happened this century, we've seen the games finish with 62 (SB LI), 52 (SB XLIX), 45 (SB XXXIX) and 61 (SB XXXVIII) points. Should you get a slow start – three of those nine scoreless 1st quarters have come in the past five years – the in-game total will be a lot lower then the current line, and we have seen teams explode following that slow start. So those of you that may already be eyeing an 'over' play for this year's game, it may pay off to wait and save part of your stake for some In-Game Wagering. Nine different times we've had scoreless first frames, and oddly enough, those full game totals in those scoreless first quarter games has ended up with a 5-4 'over/under' record overall. Through 53 played Super Bowls, the average combined point total we've seen in the 1st quarter of those games is 8 points. Also, no team wants to fall behind big early, so conservatism tends to rule the day in 1st quarters of the big game. ![]() I mean, the Super Bowl is a game where nervous starts are quite prevalent for teams, as the magnitude of the game really can hit guys early. Odds Subject to Change - T&C's Apply, 21+ 1st Quarter: Over 10 (-125) or Under 10 (+105)ġst Half: Over 27 (+100) or Under 27 (-120)įull Game: Over 54 (-110) or Under 54 (-110) Super Bowl History: 1st quarterWhile I don't have the historical lines for 1st quarter totals in the Super Bowl, it was easy enough to go through the previous 53 games box scores and come away with some findings. Super Bowl 54 Over-Under (O/U) Betting Odds Odds provided by FanDuel (IN, NJ, PA & WV only) So before we get into the historical 1st Quarter and 1st Half results for the Cheifs and Niners this specifc year, let's take a broader trip through history to see if there is anything that becomes a shiny enough data nugget to invest in. ![]() And while it can be easy to dismiss whatever happened in a Super Bowl years ago as non-relevant to this specific game, similar historical scenarios still exist and we can use them to potentially help strengthen a position. But there are other ways to attack the total for the Super Bowl, and they include things like first quarter and first-half total plays as well. ![]() With this year's total already getting bumped up quite a bit initially, you will see many arguments for both sides of the full game total in the coming days.
