Then even as India celebrated it’s 72nd Independence Day, the celebrations were marred towards the fag end of the day by the passing away of one of Indian cricket’s finest captains, Ajit Wadekar. That was succeeded on Thursday by the demise of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee at the age of 93 in Delhi. The folks with a keenness for history and politics will view him one of India’s most honest and forward-thinking leaders, but Vajpayee played his part in the revival of cricket’s most emotional yet followed rivalry: India vs Pakistan, in 2004....

It’s safe to say that Avatar: The Way of Water took so long because Cameron was really honing in on the finer details. The world is even bigger than it was in Avatar: there’s more characters, more creatures, and deeper worldbuilding. In fact, the movie makes a conscious effort to spend more time on the Sully family learning a new Na’vi way than the first did.

The doctors who treated Bhutto at Rawalpindi’s state-run General Hospital held a televised press conference to refute reports that her death had been caused by bullets or shrapnel from the suicide bombing. “There were no wounds on her neck and no exit wound in her head,” said one of the doctors. The official version blames Bhutto’s death on a fatal blow. At a press conference in Islamabad and later on state-owned television, Interior Ministry spokesman Javed Cheema showed video footage of a beaming Bhutto seconds before she was killed, along with photographs of her blood-stained vehicle....

While Grand Theft Auto 6 has finally been confirmed to be in development at Rockstar, the developer has made it very clear that it’s still some years away. Despite this, leaks surrounding the upcoming sequel have been non-stop, and a recent report at Bloomberg suggests that the game is taking the franchise in a new direction. Along with a new tonal approach, Grand Theft Auto 6 will also apparently introduce the series’ first playable female character as part of a pair of protagonists, with a story inspired by the historical gangsters, Bonnie and Clyde....

One of the biggest advantages of the Handsome Jackpot DLC over the base game is that Anointed enemies are nowhere to be seen, meaning players can have fun killing enemies and getting loot without having to worry about these broken enemies. As such, there are some major issues with Anointed enemies that Gearbox Software should address in a future update to make them a better fit for the game as a whole....

The world listened as the 39-year-old pop star described the 13 years she has spent under the severe conservatorship imposed by the court and handled by her father, Jamie Spears. The singer made it clear to Judge Brenda Penny that she wants the legal arrangement, which prevents her from making decisions about her life, health or assets, removed. “I just want my life back,” Britney Spears told the courtroom in Los Angeles on Wednesday....

Picking up where Episode 8 of House of the Dragon left off, Viserys has succumbed to whatever disease or infirmity was taking him down towards the end. Of course, those who watched towards the end of the previous episode know that he might have been hastened along a bit towards that end, but he was heading there on his own nonetheless. That is indeed a sad happening both for the characters in the GoT prequel and the people of Westeros, who probably didn’t know just how good they had it until it comes to the next ruler....

The Standard hits the stands this week with a 72-page issue that rounds up the usual-and some unusual-subjects. There are predictable pieces on the bombing raids in Bosnia and a critical obituary of liberal lawyer William Kunstler. And surprising ones such as the essay about the similarities between Bill Clinton and Prince Charles and a “humor” piece on socially conscious sex toys and manuals; it’s essentially about masturbation. Then there are the political broadsides....

Although it has been downgraded to a tropical depression, Imelda could still dump up to 18 inches of rain in some areas.

[HTML1] Among the many surprises at E3 2014 was just how somber the tone of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End trailer was. The Uncharted games are best known for their witty banter, massive set pieces and Hollywood action movie tone. In this cinematic, however, Nathan Drake was shown waking up by a river, bathed in muted grey-blue moonlight and looking several years older than in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (and even more like Nathan Fillion)....

Cervical caps are a type of barrier birth control. The cervical cap is similar to a diaphragm — both a diaphragm and a cervical cap prevent sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg. But unlike a diaphragm, a cervical cap is much smaller. How to Use After some practice, cervical caps are easy to use.

Mac Jones was looking to pass on a first-and-10 with 37 seconds left in the half. However, he made a risky throw while under pressure that floated with ease to Jets defensive back Michael Carter. Carter had a clear path to the end zone on the play, and he was easily able to return the pick for a touchdown. There was just one problem. John Franklin-Myers had committed a penalty on the play....

Researchers at Australia’s national science agency recently created a way to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the ways people make choices using AI. The latest research is just one of a wave of AI-driven systems designed to manipulate human decision-making. “There is no end to the many ways in which AI is already influencing behavior,” Kentaro Toyama, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information and author of Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology, said in an email interview....

How Does Assisted GPS Improve Performance? Assisted GPS improves location performance in two ways: It helps the phone obtain a faster Time to First Fix (TTFF), which improves startup performance. Assisted GPS acquires and stores information about the location of satellites using the cellular network, so the information does not need to be downloaded by satellite. Assisted GPS positions a phone or mobile device when GPS signals are weak or not available....

Self-Checks It’s estimated that many people with atopic dermatitis are undiagnosed. Some chalk their symptoms up to simply having dry or sensitive skin or believe that skin irritation has no treatment and is just something they ‘have to live with.’ While eczema needs to be formally diagnosed by a healthcare provider, the following are worth taking note of, as they may indicate the condition: The rash is itchy, red, scaly, or blistered....
