It was the first reported North Korean ballistic missile test since May.        Walmart is halting job offers to foreign candidates who need H-1B visas to work in the U.S. The policy change announced on Tuesday comes after the Trump administration said it was imposing a 100-thousand-dollar fee on visas for highly-skilled workers. The administration says the fee is intended to curb abuse of the H-1B visa program.        The browser wars are back.
