New Delhi: Rain brought a much needed respite from the scorching heat on Wednesday and this spell of pleasant weather is likely to continue for another couple of days. Several parts of the national received morning showers which made the weather pleasant. The minimum temperature was recorded at 24.3 degrees Celsius, a notch below the season’s average and humidity was recorded at 82 per cent at 8.30 am. The Safdarjung observatory, recording for which is considered official for the city, recorded traces of rainfall, while Palam and Lodhi Road observatories recorded 1.8 and 1.5 mm rainfall respectively. The weather man predicted a windy day with the possibility of thundershowers, light rain accompanied by lightning. The maximum temperature is likely to settle around 34 degrees Celsius. According to a MeT department official, light rain is predicted for the next two days.
Offering consumers both a range of laptops and popular games hardware does have its advantages when it comes to tempting students into buying new kit. Sony has decided to take full advantage of that fact by bundling either a PS3 or PS Vita with an Ultrabook purchase.If you class as a student or faculty member then Sony has a number of Ultrabooks and laptops that qualify for the offer. The cheapest of these is the Vaio 13.3″ T Series Custom Ultrabook that includes a Core i5-3317U running at 1.7GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB hard drive, Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU, and 13.3-inch display. All for just $749.89 including a free carry case worth $50.The prices escalate beyond that right up to the $2,899.99 for the Vaio Z Series. But in all cases you have the option of an additional device for free or discount off another purchase. The choices include a 160GB PS3, a PlayStation Vita Wi-Fi version, $200 off a range of PlayStation gear, or 8% off a Vaio PC purchase.It’s a very tempting offer, especially when you consider the PS3 costs $249.99 so you’re effectively getting that Vaio T Ultrabook for $499.99. The PS3 and PS Vita are also instant additions to your cart using the eCoupon, so they will probably ship at the same time as your new laptop.There’s no end date listed on the Sony offer page, but I wouldn’t take too long deciding on whether to take them up on the offer. As word of the free hardware gets around stock is surely going to disappear quickly.More at Sony

A coalition of agricultural organizations, including ASA, submitted a letter this week to the Senate Finance Committee, identifying priorities for comprehensive tax reform.The Senate Finance Committee established working groups to review options and invited groups to submit their priorities and comments by April 15.The ag coalition identified the following priorities: retaining cash accounting for agricultural operations; restoring Section 179 expensing limits to $500,000 and indexing for inflation; removing limitation on the amount that property values can be reduced to reflect use valuation for estate tax purposes under Section 2032A; maintaining stepped-up basis; maintaining capital gains rates at lower levels; and maintaining 1031 like-kind exchanges. Thirty six agricultural organizations signed the letter, which can be viewed here.The prospects for comprehensive tax reform moving forward or getting enacted are low, due to the difference in tax policy priorities among Democrats and Republicans and the many different views held by individuals and interest groups who are concerned with the net impact it could have on their tax liabilities. The overarching goal of Republicans is to simplify the tax code and eliminate some tax credits in exchange for reducing overall corporate and individual rates. Democrats want to protect and maintain tax provisions that benefit lower income individuals and increase tax revenue to invest in other priorities. While prospects for agreement on tax reform are low, the need to identify revenue to pay for legislative priorities such as a new, long-term highway infrastructure bill could provide some impetus to bipartisan negotiations on tax reform.
Gov. Bill Walker scheduled meetings with two of President Obama’s cabinet secretaries while he was in Washington Tuesday for the swearing in of Alaska’s new U.S. senator.Download AudioHe says he talked to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell about the road options to the Greater Moose’s Tooth field on the North Slope. That wasn’t the only road they discussed. Walker says Jewell seems resolute in opposing a road between King Cove and Cold Bay, but he says it was good to hear her exact reasons. Walker says he doesn’t think it’s a lost cause.“Well I’m not convinced of that. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes on it is a good thing,” Walker said. “So I’m going to take a look and see if there are some options available in advancing that road project.”He took up the Prince Rupert ferry dock with Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. Walker says they discussed the possibility of a waiver from the requirement to use U.S. steel, an issue Walker says he’s still undecided on himself.“The main thrust of the meeting was that. We also talked about some of the issues associated with moving liquefied natural gas by train,” he said. “It’s something that’s been discussed. It’s an option for moving Cook Inlet gas from the Mat-Su area to Fairbanks.”It was the new governor’s second trip to the nation’s capital since he was sworn in. He says he doesn’t plan to make the trip so frequently in the future. Correction: An earlier version of this story said the governor “made the case” to Sec. Foxx for a waiver from the U.S. sourcing requirements for the Prince Rupert dock. The governor’s office says he did not request a waiver.
Pakistanis began casting votes on Sunday for the parliamentary seat vacated by ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif, in a by-election seen as a test of support for the Sharif dynasty ahead of the 2018 general election.Sharif’s ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party hopes a resounding victory in the eastern city of Lahore would show that support for the family was undiminished despite the Supreme Court’s removal of Sharif in July.Sharif’s daughter Maryam has spearheaded the PML-N campaign for her mother Kulsoom – who is the MPL-N candidate despite receiving cancer treatment in London with Nawaz at her side.Maryam, who some PML-N leaders see as a future leader, has framed the poll as a chance for voters to give a bloody nose to the judiciary by handing the party a thumping victory.“Will you take revenge for your disrespected vote?” Maryam asked supporters at a recent rally.Opposition leader Imran Khan – whose threats of street protests pushed the Supreme Court to launch a probe into Nawaz’s wealth – is seeking to build on the success of his anti-graft crusade by making inroads into Sharifs’ power base in Punjab.The Supreme Court in July disqualified Sharif because he did not declare a monthly salary, equivalent to $2,722, from a company owned by his son when the veteran leader, who had held power twice in the 1990s, became prime minister for the third time. Sharif denies receiving the salary.Khan has turned the by-election into a plebiscite about corruption, and has accused the provincial Punjab government, which is run by Nawaz’s brother Shahbaz, of abusing state resources to help the PML-N campaign.“Your prime minister owns some of the most expensive real estate in the world – all in his daughter’s name. Meanwhile half the children of this country are malnourished,” Khan told a rally on Saturday.Analysts predict PML-N will win again but they say Khan’s party would build momentum ahead of the 2018 poll if PTI candidate Yasmin Rashid, a gynecologist from the area, substantially reduces the PML-N’s 40,000 vote-winning margin from 2013.“PTI would be very happy if the margin ended up being small. That would be a victory for them,” said Hasan Askri a political analyst.Many of the 321,633 registered voters in the central Lahore NA-120 consituency are conflicted.“My head goes towards PTI while my heart goes towards PML-N,” said Ali Raza, 25, a bank employee.Kulsoom and Rashid will be competing against about 40 other candidates, including religious parties. One candidate is backed by a new party that is led by an Islamist firebrand who is subject to a $10 million bounty offered by the United States.Hafiz Saeed heads the Jammat-ud-Dawa (JuD) charity, having founded and formerly led the Lashkhar-e-Taiba (LeT) militant group that carried out the 2008 attacks on the Indian city of Mumbai that killed 166 people. The United States has placed Saeed, the charity and LeT on a terrorist list.Voting began at 9am (0400 GMT) and the polls are due to close at 5pm, with results likely to be announced after midnight.
For three hours, the audience — former “SCTV” crew, friends and family, Canadian media industry and cultural types, and hundreds of ticket buyers (but, sadly, no one dressed as Edith Prickley) — in the packed 1500-seat Elgin responded with laughter and applause to smartly assembled, themed montages that provoked the group chat. Beauty, eh? As Levy related, “SCTV’s” first two seasons, which aired on the then-fledgling Ontario network Global (the show was only available then in syndication in the U.S.) “taught us what not to do — almost everyone came out of theater, so we had to learn how to produce a show.” After the tech checks (one camera boom was named Johnny LaRue, after the late “SCTV” star John Candy’s recurring character), the curtain rose on panel moderator Jimmy Kimmel, standing center stage in front of eight armchairs, which were set in a curved row, and a backdrop of large “SCTV” stills that surrounded a two-story-high image of a vintage television. Popular on Variety While the actors took some polite digs at rival show “SNL” — they had a hoot recalling the “SCTV” sketch “Thursday Night Live” — they more frequently described the show’s supportive working vibe, which was the polar opposite of the fictional station’s dysfunction. “We would stand behind the cameras, it was always collaborative,” Martin recalled. “We were a part of everybody’s scene, it was never us against them.”The Toronto audience particularly enjoyed the discussion of Candy’s brilliance and warmth, and of how everyone the cast met or worked with — even longtime “SCTV” producer Andrew Alexander, who is one of the reunion-special producers — inspired a bit for the show. “We couldn’t believe how easy it was,” laughed Moranis, who played Bob. “It was nothing like any of the other pieces in the show — one of those weird things that caught on.” In addition to naming favorite and despised characters, the actors discussed the origins and ethos behind iconic bits, recurring sketches, and, of course, the pop-culture phenom Bob and Doug McKenzie, the toque-wearing, beer-guzzling hosers who emerged in 1980 when the show was aired on pubcaster CBC and two additional minutes of Canadian content was required. Kimmel, who watched “SCTV” growing up in Las Vegas, called the show “one of the strangest, greatest things I’ve ever seen” and the reason why the U.S. is “not building a wall on the Northern border,” then introduced the first clip montage, which included the first scene of Episode 1 and generous clips of some legendary “SCTV” sketches and characters. Announced last month, the as-yet-untitled special, directed by Martin Scorsese, will explore the legacy of “SCTV” —the beloved Canadian sketch-comedy series that ran six seasons, between 1976 and 1984, and chronicled the singular oddball characters and outrageously ambitious programming of a small, perpetually underfunded station in fictional Melonville. Canadian broadcaster CTV announced that it has teamed with Netflix to become the exclusive Canadian broadcast partner of the special. Under the partnership, Netflix will premiere the “SCTV” special worldwide in all territories except Canada, where it premieres exclusively on CTV. Following CTV’s airing, the special will be available on Netflix in Canada. Three days before the Sunday taping, local excitement heightened when it was confirmed that Rick Moranis — who in 1997 took a hiatus from regular onscreen work — would join previously confirmed “SCTV” members Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Andrea Martin, Martin Short, and Dave Thomas onstage. TORONTO — Loud and abundant hometown love set the tone in Toronto’s historic Elgin Theatre on Sunday, as seven stars of the legendary “SCTV” reunited for a lively conversation filmed in front of a live audience for inclusion in an original Netflix comedy special, set to air in 2019. While there were few revelations, the warm, effortless banter that flowed between the actors kept the audience hanging on every word, whether it be about celebrity impressions, wrap-arounds, wrap parties, or the secret behind successful “SCTV” parodies of well-known American plays, soap operas, and mobster films. ×Actors Reveal Their Favorite Disney PrincessesSeveral actors, like Daisy Ridley, Awkwafina, Jeff Goldblum and Gina Rodriguez, reveal their favorite Disney princesses.

Stay on target While most of us have logged our fair share of hours playing Diablo 3 and Minecraft, sometimes we all need to unplug from our terminals and take part in some face-to-face contact with fellow humans. Of course, there is no rule that says that this contact has to be limited to serious activities. In fact, I prefer to gather my geeky friends around a large table with some comfortable chairs on top of a rug (that really ties the room together) and to roll some dice, lay out some tiles, and take part in the act of tabletop gaming.Whether it be every player for themselves or the group working as a team against an unspeakable horror, there are some amazing board games out there that smash through the humdrum stereotype that has been created around games like Monopoly and Scrabble. If you find yourself on a quest to have some honest-to-goodness geeky fun that requires people to actually physically near each other, here are five of the best board games that we every geek should have in their libraries, ready to be brought out at a moment’s notice.Ticket to RideProbably one of the most entertaining best board games that I have ever had the opportunity to play, Ticket to Ride is a strategic title that put players in the role of a railroad tycoon in the early 1900’s. The goal is to build an empire that spans the United States while making shrewd moves that block your opponents from being able to complete their freight and passenger runs to various cities. With a method of gameplay that’s startlingly simple yet incredibly entertaining, Ticket to Ride appeals to all types of players. Of all the titles in this list this is the one that non-geeks will have the most fun with, at least based on my experience.This is also a great title for train enthusiasts, as there are several different versions including a Marklin set that focuses on scale model trains using a German map. A game for up to five players, Ticket to Ride is appropriate for people of all ages. We have seen children as young as seven years old play and win this game with no handicaps placed on the adults at the table. PS4 Hits Turn Tabletop With ‘God of War,’ ‘Bloodborne&…‘Metal Gear Solid’ Board Game Is Tactical Tabletop Action Arkham HorrorWhere most board games usually pit player against player, the creators of Arkham Horror designed a gameplay experience where everyone who’s playing the game is working together to beat the board. Based on the classic Lovecraftian horror mythos, players work to battle and banish the Ancient Old Ones, like Cthulu and the King in Yellow, as these creatures struggle to destroy the world. Players have to battle both insanity and phyical attacks from supernatural creatures as they race around the board to try and save the day.Arkham Horror stands as one of the most deep and complex best board games that has ever been devised. With games taking upwards of six hours to finish, the experience is one that isn’t for everyone (or for kids under the age of 13). With over 700 pieces and an equal number of cards, this is a title that requires a lot of space to play on, especially since it’s not uncommon to have to leave the game for another session to actually complete.Even if you’re not familiar with HP Lovecraft and his monstrous (in several senses of the word) writings, Arkham Horror and its expansions are still incredibly entertaining. Settlers of CatanSettlers of Catan is most likely a title that you have heard of before. With over 15 million copies sold worldwide, it’s one of the most successful best board game franchises of all time. While not usually available in mainstream department stores, it’s not unusual to see copies for sale in a Barnes and Noble book store. Set on the fictional island of Catan, players struggle to build the largest settlement on the island by shrewdly trading resources and placing buildings to gain control of items that will help in the construction efforts.Of all the games on our list, this is probably the most cutthroat one we have played. If you have ever played Monopoly with your grandparents who lived through the Great Depression, you know what we mean when we say this. Settlers is laid out that you have to trade with other players to reach your goal of winning the game. If one player in the game decides to hold onto a specific resource, they can impede the progress of the rest of the gaming group. Of course there are mechanics to try to stop this from happening, but skilled players know how to negotiate these in a way that’s beneficial to themselves. That being said, the game is still extraordinarily entertaining. While we wouldn’t call the game fast-paced, the experience is anything but boring as each game is randomized by the shifting around of the islands tiles each time you start a session. CarcassonneOften hailed as the “gateway drug” of tabletop board gaming, Carcassonne is a tile-based game where players compete to score as many points as possible by recreating the fabled French city of Carcassonne and its fortified walls. Known as one of the most conquered cities in history, the historical backdrop of Carcassonne provides a rich tapestry of structures to be built to help players score the most points to win the game. Because it’s a fast game that has an element of luck that when combined with some strategy, beginning gamers find it a very accessible title.Working in a round-robin turn system, each player randomly selects a tile then places it on the board in an effort to build fortified cities, cloisters, and farms and garner the most points possible. Using followers called “meeples”, players can claim tiles in hopes that the tile map will go the way they need to help them finish their structures.Also probably one of the best values in the board game market along with being one of the best board games, you can pick up the Carcassonne “Big Box” that contains the base game along with five expansions that add to the gameplay experience in different ways. Memoir ’44As an answer to the horde of World War II video games that have been churned out every since Saving Private Ryan hit the silver-screen, Memoir ’44 is a card based board game that seeks to recreate some of the historical assaults and battles that took place during the epic struggle between the Axis of Evil and the Allied forces in Europe. Requiring strategic play of randomly received cards, players maneuver their plastic army men across the map in an effort to achieve the victory conditions of the scenario chose at the start of play. With fifteen different expansions, the franchise offers an incredibly flexible amount of gameplay options that are available to groups of two players all the way up to eight commanders when played in “Overlord Mode” which requires two copies of the base game.What we like about this best board game is that it’s very easy to play, and can be enjoyable for anyone not just military buffs looking to recreate the Omaha Beach landings. If you’re looking for an incredibly deep strategic experience that successfully mimics actions on the field of battle, then Memoir ’44 isn’t for you. However if you are looking for a fun gameplay experience that’s set in one of the most compelling periods of global history, then you can’t go wrong.Of course, there are a great many more titles that are equally as enjoyable as these five of the best board games we have laid out for you above, but this list should give you a good start if you are just beginning to build a library of your own. If you have suggestions for titles that should be added to the list, leave them in the comments! And check out other board game lists like these Halloween tabletop games and Catan gifts.
David Cage sucks. He sucks. And while I’m sure there are plenty of talented developers at Quantic Dream, as long as the team is completely at the whim of his wannabe amateur film auteur ego its games have also sucked. Heavy Rain sucks. Beyond: Two Souls sucks. And last year’s Detroit: Become Human is so bad I don’t know if its stupidity or its racism offends me more. And that’s just the games, that’s before you start digging into creepy details like a nude model of Ellen Page made without her permission or David Cage suing journalists who investigate credible sexism complaints at this studio.But none of that is new. So why bring up Quantic Dream today? Admittedly one of the studio’s strengths is creating games with shockingly photo-realistic human characters (humans then made to participate in the dumbest “realistic” games and stories alive) and that technology historically has been used to show off the graphical prowess of PlayStation hardware. But now Quantic Dream is getting a new partner and is leaving Sony exclusivity behind. And at GDC the team revealed that former PlayStation exclusives Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human are all now coming to PC through the Epic Games Store later this year.Quantic Dream is remaining independent, but it is getting a substantial investment from huge Chinese publisher NetEase, whose other projects include Diablo Immortal, whatever Bungie is working on besides Destiny, and probably a bunch of mobile games that a earn billion dollars per day. Quantic Dream made this announcement with a stunningly creepy video given to Variety featuring one of its beautiful android lady slaves from Detroit, whose sole existence is to smile and explain this dry and arguably dystopian financial news to you before turning herself off.Given how advanced their technology is, and how ultimately limited the market for its games probably are, we suspect Quantic Dream had to rely on Sony for its ambitious projects just to get funding. But with NetEase’s help, Quantic Dream will have the resources it needs to make games for whatever systems it wants, from the beefiest gaming PCs to whatever the PlayStation 5 and next-gen Xbox turn out to be. Heck, they might even make a Nintendo Switch game.And even if it didn’t ultimately prevent the deal, NetEase reps did say they were aware of the controversy surrounding the studio. But the most important takeaway here, and this can’t be said often enough, is that David Cage still sucks. For good PlayStation 4 exclusives check out our reviews of Spider-Man and God of War.
