Third Wave of Coronavirus Is Unavoidable, We Need To Be Prepared: Govt
The government of India on Wednesday said that the third phase of the coronavirus is unavoidable, but it is not clear on what time scale this phase would occur. Hence, we should be prepared for the same, said the Union Health Ministry.
Speaking about the new waves of Covid-19, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Centre K VijayRaghavan said the new variants of the virus are more transmissible. The Health Ministry held a briefing on the current COVID-10 situation and the vaccination programme underway in the state.
Here are the key points of the meeting:
Health Ministry Joint Secretary Lav Agarwal said while there was an early trend in decline in cases, at present, 12 states have more than 1 lakh active cases, seven states have 50,000 to 1 lakh active cases and 17 states have less than 50,000 active cases. Around 2.4 per daily growth in cases has been noticed. Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have around 1.5 lakh active cases.
There are some areas of concern. Bengaluru reported around 1.49 lakh cases in last one week. Chennai reported 38,000 cases. Some districts have recorded further and rapid spread of cases, these include Kozhikode, Ernakulam and Gurugram.
Liberalised policy (for vaccination) was started on May 1 and the drive has begun smoothly in nine states. As many as 6.71 lakh people in the age group of 18-44 years have been administered vaccines so far.
An increase in deaths has been noticed too. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, and Haryana reported more death cases.
Variants are transmitted same as original strain. It doesn't have properties of new kinds of transmission. It infects humans in a manner that makes it more transmissible as it gains entry, makes more copies and goes on, same as original.
Scientists across the world are working to anticipate the new variants and act against them rapidly by early warning and developing modified tools. It's an intense research program, happening in India and abroad.
Vaccines are effective against current variants. New variants will arise all over the world and in India too but variants that increase transmission will likely plateau. Immune evasive variants and those which lower or increase disease severity will arise going ahead.
The UK variant (B.1.1.7) is showing a declining trend, while the double mutant (B1.617 lineage) has been seen in Maharashtra.
Niti Aayog member (Health) Dr VK Paul said the disease is not spreading through animals, it is human to human transmission.

Win and They're in: Raiders Allowed to Think Playoffs
By Scott Bair • Published December 14, 2016 • Updated on December 14, 2016 at 7:45 am
ALAMEDA – The Raiders have kept playoff talk at a stiff arm's length. Coaches and player prefer the ol' one-game-at-a-time mantra, especially while working through a long season with the finish line well off in the distance.
Now a footstep separates them from a postseason berth, with math so simple the Raiders can't avoid playoff talk.
Win and they're in.
If their focus is always on winning the next game, it's hard to avoid a Sunday game at San Diego that could provide playoff security.
"We want to be playing in the postseason, so we can give ourselves a chance to play for the big one," running back Latavius Murray said. "It starts Sunday. We're excited for that opportunity to continue playing later, into the postseason."
A win Sunday would guarantee at least the final wild card spot. The Raiders still have the AFC West in their sights. They lost control of the division title on Thursday night in Kansas City, and now they need the Chiefs to trip over the final three games.
The Raiders hope to win out and lock in a top seed, but just getting to the playoff tournament is a monumental step. That's especially true for a recently downtrodden franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since 2002. This group isn't battling history. They are firmly grounded, remaining in the present tense as often as possible.
49ers 23 hours ago
A win on Sunday would accomplish a major mission, one these Raiders have been questing for this season.
"It's always in your mind because that's the goal," edge rusher Khalil Mack said. "We want to reach the playoffs. It's not easy to get there, and that's the challenge. We're trying to clinch a spot by any means. We're working this week to get a win. That's the goal for us."

Cauliflower Steaks with Spinach Gratin Fill 1 Created with Sketch.
In this recipe, we've taken the typical gratin to the next level by transporting it out of the casserole dish and onto a cauliflower steak. We hope you find the combination of creamy spinach and cheese with a layer of crunchy, golden crumb topping to be delicious and irresistible.
Preheat oven to 500°F. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Trim the ends off the green beans. Very finely chop the spinach. Peel and mince the garlic. Grate the cheese. Cut the cauliflower in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2 thick slices, leaving the core and stem intact. Cut the lemon into 6 wedges and remove the seeds.
Place the cauliflower steaks on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle them with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Roast for 20 to 22 minutes, or until slightly browned and almost tender when pierced with a knife, turning over halfway through.
While the cauliflower roasts, add the green beans to the boiling water and cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Slice the drained green beans in half lengthwise. In a small pan, toast the slivered almonds on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
While the cauliflower continues to roast, melt the butter in a small pot on medium. Add the garlic; cook about 1 minute, or until softened. Stir in the flour; cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly golden and toasted. Slowly whisk in the milk, breaking up any lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat to low; simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened. Add the cheddar cheese and whisk until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped spinach; season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the cauliflower finishes roasting, toss the panko breadcrumbs with a little olive oil to moisten them slightly. When the cauliflower steaks are done, remove from the oven and top each with a layer of béchamel sauce, then the panko breadcrumbs. Return to the oven and bake for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden brown. Let stand while dressing the green beans.
In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with the juice of 4 lemon wedges, the Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and the toasted almonds; season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the cauliflower and green beans between 2 plates. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Extending the reach of telematics: MiX Telematics to announce two new partnerships at CV Show 2012
MiX Telematics is further reinforcing its position as an innovator within the world of telematics with the signing of two new partnership agreements, both of which will be launched at the forthcoming CV Show (Stand no: 3B74, NEC, Birmingham, 24-26 April 2012).

By working with our colleagues at Towergate Insurance and Euroway we have harnessed the power of telematics in sector-specific packages designed to generate savings and lower costs for all concerned."
Full details of the new services – Towergate Fleetcare+ for insurance and Fleetsure for contract hire – and the benefits they deliver will be presented at a press conference on the MiX Telematics CV Show stand (3B74) at 11.30am on Tuesday 24 April.

Doctor Who: Series 1 - Volume 1 [DVD] [2005]
Tuesday, 5th April 2005
When the new series of Doctor Who needed an actor to play Charles Dickens, there was only ever one man in the frame.
Simon Callow has portrayed the Victorian literary giant on TV in two series of An Audience With Charles Dickens, re-creating his famous public readings, and has a wealth of knowledge about the author and his work.
That's not to say he would have said "yes" to Doctor Who if the script by Mark Gatiss, of The League Of Gentlemen fame, had not impressed him so much.
"When I heard that Dickens was going to be in Doctor Who, my heart rather sank," Simon admits.
"I get sent a lot of scripts which feature him as a kind of all-purpose Victorian literary character and really understand little, if anything, about him, his life or his books.
"But, as well as being brilliantly written, Mark's script was obviously the work of someone who knows exactly what Dickens is all about."
The story, set at Christmas in Cardiff in 1869, sees Dickens become involved with the Doctor and Rose as they encounter mysterious, gaseous creatures called the Gelth with sinister plans to populate our world.
When viewers first see Dickens, before a stage performance, he is tired and jaded, brooding on the mistakes he has made in his life. But his adventure with the Doctor opens his eyes to a whole new world and serves to reinvigorate his zest for life.
"Dickens was indeed very ill and unhappy at that time," says Simon.
"The script very cleverly connects his idealism, which ends up being restored by his experiences, with the Doctor's desire to save the world.
"Initially, he is shattered by the notion that this realm of the unknown, which he has always dismissed, actually exists, but he then embraces it. As the Doctor tells him, he's not wrong about everything, he just has more to learn."
An acclaimed actor, stage director and author, Simon confesses he was never a fan of Doctor Who: "I saw the very first episode in 1963, with William Hartnell as the Doctor, and decided it wasn't for me, so I missed the entire procession of Doctors that followed."
But that's not to say he wouldn't have minded a shot at playing him.
"When the BBC decided to bring Doctor Who back as a feature film a few years ago, one national newspaper ran a poll to ask its readers who should be the new Doctor, and I topped it," Simon recalls.
"Sadly, the producers failed to take note of this highly important statement of public opinion, so I never got my chance!"
The Doctor comes face-to-face with Charles Dickens in the new series as he battles against re-animated corpses and shimmering blue entities up to no good in Cardiff in 1869 - right up Mark Gatiss's street, in fact.
The League of Gentlemen star and massive Doctor Who fan says: "The original idea came from Russell T Davies, but it was ideal for me - a Victorian ghost story set at Christmas with dead coming back to life!
"I've always had this thing about possession. Alan Bennett once said that we all have only a few beans in the tin to rattle, and I do tend to keep coming back to the idea of things being possessed.
"They're always my favourite kind of stories and it really must scare me on some basic level, the concept of being occupied by other entities."
Mark says he's always loved Doctor Who storylines which involve travelling back in time as well as far into the future.
"Part of the fun of those historical adventures was seeing a Fifties police public call box standing on a Chinese plain in 2000 BC," he laughs.
Almost a year on from being asked to write for the new series, Mark still almost cannot believe that Doctor Who is returning.
"I'd ruled out in my own mind the possibility of it ever happening, so I've been pinching myself on set, seeing a beautiful new TARDIS, a brand new gold Dalek, and knowing this amazing new series is on its way.
"It's extraordinary, but I've always carried in my heart a version of how I thought it should be, and it's this one. It's a new show, not one addressing a dwindling bunch of Doctor Who diehards like me, but a modern show for a new audience.
"People who have never heard of Doctor Who should be able to sit down, watch and say 'I love it'.
"Being asked to write for the new series was the best present I've ever had. But having wanted the show to return for so long, it was also a bit daunting and I think we [the writers] all ran around like headless chickens for a while.
"But then you just have to get on with it and the hard work really starts, but it's always a joy because of the love and loyalty we have for the show."
Mark adds: "I think Chris makes a great Doctor, and they're both clearly men having fun. But that's what Russell said from the start - whatever he's up to, whatever danger he's in, the Doctor's having a good time."

The End Of The World Aliens of London / World War Three
Home Region:


WASHINGTON – The father of a teen who died after taking an abortion pill says new safety warnings added by the government aren't enough to protect women. Because a third death now has been linked to RU-486, the Food and Drug Administration (search) should bar sales of the abortion pill, said the grieving father.
"How many more deaths is it going to take before the FDA takes action to remove this drug from the market?" said Monty Patterson, 51, of Livermore, Calif.
His 18-year-old daughter, Holly, died on Sept. 17, 2003, of septic shock caused by inflammation of the uterus. The teen took RU-486 (search) on Sept. 10 to terminate an unplanned pregnancy, Patterson said.
At least two other American women who took the pill in the United States died, although the FDA says it is unclear if their deaths were directly related to the pill's use.
Those three deaths were among 676 adverse events reported through Nov. 5 by women who used the abortion pill. The reports include women who felt sick and dizzy to more serious illnesses that required hospitalization, according to the FDA.
Seventeen women who used RU-486 had tubal pregnancies; the drug is not to be used in women with suspected or confirmed ectopic pregnancies. Another 72 women bled so heavily after using the abortion pill that they required blood transfusions. And seven women suffered serious bacterial infections, including sepsis.
After his daughter's death, Patterson began lobbying for changes to the drug's label to avoid another tragedy. He received a courtesy call Monday from the FDA alerting him to new warnings linking RU-486 to the risk of life-threatening bacterial infections. He didn't learn about the third death until reviewing the agency's Web site.
Anti-abortion activists seized upon Holly Patterson's death in their campaign against Danco Laboratories' product, Mifeprex (search).
A company spokeswoman disputed their claims.
"The drug is safe. It's effective. And it provides another option for women to end early pregnancy," said Cynthia Summers, marketing director at New York-based Danco Laboratories (search).
An abortion rights activist said the abortion pill is "extremely safe and effective" when used correctly.
"All of us need to understand that no procedure, no medication is risk free," said Vanessa Cullins, vice president for medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America (search).
The FDA approved Mifeprex in 2000 to terminate pregnancy up to 49 days after the beginning of the last menstrual cycle. The drug blocks progesterone, a hormone required to sustain a pregnancy. When followed by another medicine, misoprostol, Mifeprex terminates the pregnancy.
Mifeprex already carries a "black box" warning, the agency's most strident alert, to highlight other safety concerns. The FDA said Monday that the drug's black box warning will expand, adding information about such rare but potentially life-threatening complications as serious bacterial infections and bleeding that can follow any abortion, including one induced by Mifeprex.
Since the drug was approved, the agency has received reports of serious bacterial infection, bleeding, ectopic — tubal — pregnancies that have ruptured and death. The fatalities including a death from sepsis, a severe infection, recently reported to FDA and leading to the revised black box.
Serious bacterial infection may happen silently, without typical signs of infection like fever or tenderness, the label warns. The revised label also cautions health care providers that prolonged, heavy bleeding may warrant surgical intervention.
Women who have taken the drug should contact a doctor immediately if they suffer fever, abdominal pain and heavy bleeding, a medication guide aimed at consumers says. And the FDA counsels women to take their medication guide to any health care provider they visit to speed treatment.
In addition, women who take the pill must sign a patient agreement pledging to contact a doctor immediately if they have fever higher than 100.4 degrees that lasts more than four hours or severe abdominal pain. The women are also warned that heavy bleeding that soaks two, thick full-sized sanitary pads per hour for two consecutive hours is cause for contacting a doctor.
According to Danco Laboratories, 360,000 American women have used the pill since it was approved by the FDA. In a letter sent to health care professionals on Nov. 12, the company stood by the safety and efficacy of the drug.
Concerned Women for America (search) blasted the FDA for not pulling RU-486 from the market.
"It is reported that another woman has died after taking the abortion drug RU-486, and the FDA's response is to change the drug's label," said Wendy Wright, the group's senior policy director, in a statement. "This is a dangerous drug that deserves to be pulled off the market immediately."

Interview with a Superhero: Actor Jason Sedillo on Now Hiring
By Kiko Martinez
Live Wire Films
Jason Sedillo stars as Joe Martin (AKA Average Joe) in Mark Cantu's action comedy Now Hiring.
In the superhero action comedy Now Hiring, which was shot entirely in San Antonio in 2013, SA native Jason Sedillo stars as Joe Martin, a good-hearted, average guy who is unemployed, but searching for a job so he can make his wife happy and also give his life some meaning.
When he stumbles across an ad in the newspaper looking for superheroes, Joe believes it's for a job as a birthday party entertainer, so he goes in for the interview. When he lands the position, he finds out it doesn't entail making balloon animals and eating birthday cake all day long. Recruited by a team of real superheroes, Joe is thrust into a world where evil forces are hellbent on destruction. He soon realizes he and his motley crew are the only ones that can stop it.
During an interview with Sedillo, 39, earlier this week for the DVD release of Now Hiring, the Current asked him about his experience playing a superhero, what it was like to be part of a production that closed off part of downtown San Antonio to shoot a series of action scenes, and how his movie character's life has recently paralleled with his own.
Now Hiring was released on DVD March 24. Purchase your copy online at Best Buy here.
On the DVD cover: (From left) Roman Garcia as Flamer, Jason Scarbrough as Nightwatchman, Jason Sedillo as Average Joe, Akasha Villalobos as Blinx and Taylor James Johnson as Dr. Mystico.
When you see the cover of the Now Hiring DVD, which features you as as the superhero character Average Joe, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it surreal to see yourself front and center on the cover of a DVD?
I just think, "No way! It really happened!" It was a long road. When I see [the DVD], I wish all the people behind the scenes could be on the cover. One of the [superhero] suits we tried out was a wetsuit. It was spray painted, so it really didn't breath. We were shooting in a warehouse in July and it was baking. There was a guy, Aaron, who would hold an umbrella over me in between takes. That was his job all day long! Everybody just rallied together and worked for free. It was really cool to see that kind of community.
So, are those your real abs on the cover or are they computer generated?
(Laughs) Definitely CGI. (Laughs) I would mess with our director (Mark Cantu) and tell him, "Man, it was a lot of work to put on this much weight for this role!" He would say, "Man, I never told you to get that fat!"
What's the best thing about playing a superhero?
I think one of the coolest things about it was that this superhero is an everyday guy. He's down on his luck, trying to find a job and trying to support his family. He has an opportunity to be something. The story in the film really relates to all of us. What's my purpose? What's my life goal? Why am I supposed to be here? What does it mean to be "the hero" in your family?
Since this was your first lead role, what did you learn on set?
It's a responsibility. There's no time to be cocky or arrogant. I've seen that in other places. Also, I've learned that what happens in a moment is only in that moment. It doesn't define who people are. People make mistakes and make bad choices, but a couple weeks later they'll come back and say, "Hey, my bad. Can I still play?"
Sounds like you were being a diva on set. Did they give you a trailer to storm off to when you were in a bad mood?
(Laughs) I had a chair. I got to go kick the chair.
You would put it in a corner, sit and pout.
Yeah, I'd be like "Where's my umbrella guy?!"
Average Joe (Jason Sedillo) battles Lord Menace (Camden Toy) in Now Hiring directed by Mark Cantu.
The final scene of the film is a long one set in downtown San Antonio. What was it like working on a tight schedule where the city actually allowed you to close off streets for production? Was there added pressure on the cast to get things right the first time?
We did [that scene] in a day. We had a rolling closure, so we'd block it off when it was time to shoot and then we'd open it up. Mark and the production team did a fantastic job setting up everything ahead of time. It flooded really bad that day. Parts of the highway were closed. But we had to do it. It made some great scenes with the clouds. But, yeah, there was a lot of pressure. I think that's when anxiety was the highest on set. There was so much happening.
Last year, you were diagnosed with an auto-immune disease. How is your health now?
Yeah, [the disease] is called sarcoidosis. It's what [late comedian] Bernie Mac had. There's no cure. It's not cancer, but they can treat it with cancer steroids. I opted not to do that, so I'm trying out holistic stuff. It's rough because there's chronic pain. It's just management of the disease at this point. This is just my opinion, but mindset has a lot to do with the way your body reacts. I try to stay positive. [This disease] has put life in perspective. The way I start my day is to ask myself, "What am I going to do with today?"
Sounds a little like your character in Now Hiring.
Yeah, like what kind of force do you want to be in life and what kind of influence do you want to have? It's an opportunity to answer those questions.
Did you get to keep your superhero costume?
No, I didn't get to keep it. I think the production company owns it. It would've been cool though. It would've been a cool Halloween costume.
Oh, well, maybe it'll become just as famous in movie memorabilia circles as the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
They should put it in the Hard Rock Cafe. I don't know what they're waiting for!

Wishing you and your family lots of love, and days filled with laughter this holiday season. MERRY WISHES.
And then my boys made a wish.
The only rule I had for them was that the wish had to be on behalf of someone else. And not for anything material. Love, peace, happiness, health - for someone else they know.
They talked. They took their time. And I am still not sure what their wish was. But I love that they did it together.

JAS | USA Compliance Blog :: Trade Policy Under Trump?
With the election hype mostly over, the President-Elect is moving to build his cabinet. This recent election cycle showed the world that there are great disagreements about how the United States should engage in international trade. President Elect Trump's message often conveyed a more protectionist position for businesses engaged in international trade. But what is the real expected position and where will the new leadership lead the United States with regards to trade?
TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership)- Most likely, this will be at the very least put on the back burner and possibly abandoned.
T-TIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership)- No definite direction has been defined on this program.
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)- This is a significant program to watch. The authority to leave NAFTA exists of course but more than likely NAFTA will be modified, however the extent of the modifications are not known at this time.
GSP (Generalized System of Preferences)- Per GSP provisions, it seems that more items are being excluded from duty free treatment. This because some key commodities from GSP countries have exceeded the competitive need limitations. This will no doubt be a discussion point inside the administration as GSP renewal battles are fought in the next term. GSP must be renewed by the end of 2017 and will probably go down to the wire for renewal.
The new administration is signaling the intention to pursue more bi-lateral agreements instead of multi-lateral as in the past.

This $599 Gaming Chair Is the Throne My Ass Deserves
The AKRacing Masters Series Pro gaming chair delivers comfort and style — if you're handy with an Allen wrench.
Fun, stylish design
Sturdy, comfortable padding
Easy-to-use adjustment paddles
A little tricky to put together
Left to my own devices, I can game for hours on end without eating, sleeping or going to the bathroom. And by the time my boyfriend pries me off of whatever I'm playing, I'm usually complaining about some sort of cramp or muscle pain.
But not with the AKGaming Masters Series Pro gaming chair. This high-end piece of furniture provided hours of comfort and looked good doing it. However, building the chair can be a bit of a hassle, and the $599 price will give pause to all but the most dedicated gamers with the deepest pockets.
Decked out in black-and-red, perforated pleather with white accents, the 55-pound Pro chair looks every bit like a chair built for a gamer — or a race-car driver. A racing-style game chair, the Pro looks like an extreme take on a fancy office chair. The frame of the chair is constructed from black steel that's cool to the touch and treated with anti-corrosive coating.
The 4-dimensional armrests and the covers that sit along the rear sides of the chair are made of plastic, which is a shame, because we cracked the left cover sometime during construction. The right-side cover has a slot for the incline level, in case I wanted to sit straight up to reach my laptop and work or lean back in thoughtful repose.
I'm not going to lie — I love playing with armrest buttons and levers. Located on the interior of each rest is a button that slides the armrest inward or outward, while an exterior lever lets you adjust the height. Another lever directly below the seat on the right allowed me to adjust overall seat height via the gas lift, while the left-mounted tilt lock can hold the chair seat at a desired angle. You'll also find a knob to adjust the spring tension when leaning back.
The back rest is tall, at 33.8 inches, and I had at least 2 inches of headspace to spare when I sat all the way back. Just like on a racing chair, there's a pair of large holes near the top of the seat. But instead of harnesses to keep me from ejecting from a fast-moving vehicle, there are stretchy, black inserts with a headrest and lumbar pillow attached.
The bottom of the chair is made from steel painted a fire-engine red, and it has five legs fitted with wheels or the foundation. At the end of each leg sits a 3-inch caster, a wheel on a rotating mount.
Taking inspiration from the chairs you'd find in an Formula One vehicle, the AKRacing Masters Series Pro looks pretty badass. The frame is contoured like a bucket seat, rounded and tapered around the actual seat with a high back that curves slightly inward to cradle your back.
However, the Pro has a wider frame and deeper seat with more leg support, which accommodated my butt and ample thighs, but it should also work well with taller folks. The steel frame can also support a weight of up to 330 pounds, which is a boon for heavier people like myself.
While the bicast leather feels nice on its own, what really makes the Pro so comfortable is the cold-pressed foam. A high-density polyurethane foam used in reclining chairs and car seats, cold-pressed foam is created using a process that prevents air from escaping, and the material can be permanently molded into any shape. I've been resting my keister in the Pro for six weeks now, and the chair is still just as comfortably firm as when I first got it.
My go-to position in the Max was with the back set at a very slight incline, the seat raised to its maximum height and the armrest positioned inward. Despite spending numerous hours pecking out reviews in the chair, I never felt the dreaded tingle of circulation being cut off from my legs or any back pain. Those moments I didn't want to sit ramrod straight, I appreciated that the Pro can lean back on an 180-degree incline. That's far enough to take a fairly comfortable nap, though I'm not saying I did that.
While the leather feels nice on its own, what really makes the Pro so comfortable is the cold-pressed foam.
Made from the same materials as the chair, the headrest and lumbar pillows were perfectly positioned to cradle my neck and lower back, making sitting on an incline even more comfy.
The Pro, like most gaming chairs, doesn't come preassembled; it's not a one-person job, either, which meant that my colleague Mike Andronico and I built our first gaming chair together. The chair ships in 23 separate pieces, with a pair of Allen wrenches and some fairly detailed instructions.
Building the chair wasn't too hard once we got into the swing of things. However, I was a bit intimidated once I saw the disclaimer that the chair pictured in the directions might not match the chair I was trying to build.

We hit the most difficult part of the assembly right off the bat, when we attempted to get the four screws lined up and secured in their relative spots in the metal guards connecting the actual seat to the chair back. It took several tries before we got it somewhat right; I say somewhat because there was one screw that we could never get to sit correctly in its hole, leaving it sticking out at an unseemly angle.
Once we crossed that initial hurdle, piecing together the rest of the chair was fairly easy. The whole process took about an hour and 15 minutes.
Configurations and Warranty
I've had the pleasure of working, gaming and just straight chillin' in the $599 model of the AKRacing Masters Series Pro gaming chair. Able to support up to 330 pounds of weight, the Pro has a wider frame and deeper seat than other chairs in the Masters series. It also has 4D armrests and the largest casters of the Masters series, at 3 inches.
The $499 Max gaming chair is made with big-and-tall users in mind; it can support up to 400 pounds and sports 2.5-inch casters and 4D armrests. Starting at $499, the Premium gaming chair is positioned as the company's flagship product and is for more-traditional body types.
Each chair comes with a 5/10-year warranty, which breaks down to five-year coverage for the actual chair and 10 years for the frame.
Whether I'm writing or editing a review or trying to do a speed run of Ori and the Blind Forest, the AKRacing Masters Series Pro gaming chair is pretty comfortable. For $599, you get a chair that's made to accommodate wide-hipped folks like myself or just about anyone looking to upgrade their gaming battle station. However, for the price, I wish this chair were a bit easier to put together and that the plastic parts were more durable. Still, the AKRacing Pro is a throne built for a gamer king or queen.

Batam Mayor Muhammad Rudi invited all components of society to jointly guard Batam. The invitation was conveyed through the moral movement of the #BataMiliKita (Batam Milik Kita).
"Batam consists of multi ethnicity, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, multi-profession, and other multi-ethnic groups. Then there must be a determination that states we must unite. Often when I speak, I ask, Whose Batam belongs to us, Batam's answer is ours. All of us must be united, "said Rudi, Wednesday (3/10) in Batam Center.
The Mayor of Batam explained, Tagar #BataMiliKita can be applied in various aspects of life. In the field of hygiene, for example, through mutual cooperation activities, the movement does not dispose of garbage on the road, each vehicle has a garbage bin so that it does not throw into the road.
In terms of urban planning, #BataMiliKita can also be applied through awareness not to make buildings above drainage, not to damage parks that have been made, not sticking or nailing advertisements on tree trunks, maintaining public facilities, and not carrying out vandalism.
"Parking in its place, not using pedestrian for activities other than pedestrians, can also be included in the #BataMiliKita moral movement," he said.
Rudi added, the essence of this moral movement is to invite the people of Batam to foster a sense of ownership of the city of Batam. Both done alone or remind each other.
"Batam is a pluralistic society, originating from various regions with diverse cultures. We must uphold local cultural customs, but that does not mean that other cultures are left alone. All are held together regularly, "he said.
He hopes that this moral movement can touch the entire community. If necessary, it will be announced specifically by the Mayor. So that in the end in the whole community, a sense of belonging and willingness to protect Batam grows from all negative things. Batam is also expected to be a city that is more comfortable for residents to live in and visited by tourists.

Renovation plan for Cangcheng
Source: Shanghai Daily | August 1, 2015, Saturday | Print Edition
CANGCHENG, a town with 500 years of history in Songjiang District, is well into a major renovation and restoration project that began after the site was listed as one of Shanghai's 32 historical and cultural areas in 2005.
The project is already in its 10th year and officials admit they aren't sure when it will be completed because the main goal is to retain the original look of the houses.
"We haven't got a firm timetable when the whole project will be finished because it is a complicated task to restore all the ancient buildings," said Zhuang Qin, deputy director of Cangcheng Old City Development Office.
The old city covers 66 hectares, with a core zone of 19.5 hectares. It contains two heritage sites protected at the city level — Yi Garden, built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and Dacang Bridge, which dates back 385 years.
It also contains nine heritage sites under district-level protection and 81 registered cultural relics that cannot be removed from the town. There are 18 ancient mansions with another 19 architectural sites of cultural significance yet to be registered.
The project called for 3,300 families in old, dilapidated houses to be relocated.
In the past few years, about 1,700 households were moved to more modern housing. Most of the older houses in Cangcheng were state-owned and used for public housing. After all households have been relocated, ancient architecture experts from Shanghai Jiao Tong University will conduct field trips and survey the structures. Family trees will be researched and archives of old architectural details scrutinized.
Experts from the university, the local museum, the Bureau of Cultural Relics and the redevelopment company will work together on a detailed renovation plan.
Most of the construction workers on the project come from neighboring Zhejiang Province and have experience in repairing and renovating ancient Chinese houses.

Other than a few desperate moments during those rough journeys home on the N29, we've never really been struck by a desire to spend the night sleeping on a bus. Until now.
A couple has taken a vintage London bus from the 1960s, added in some snazzy features, and transformed it into a fancy hotel, complete with a hot tub.
Susan Mosier and her husband Philip bought the bus for £5,000, and spent £100,000 turning it into a rent-able hotel room.
They had to have the bus's exterior stripped, rust removed, and plumbing and electrics fitted, before they added in cosy furniture to make the bus a luxurious place to stay.
The bottom deck has been turned into a large bathroom, with a bathtub, a flat-screen TV, and mood-lighting, while the top deck acts as the bedroom, complete with a double bed, a sofa, and a seating area with a little table.
Some of the bus's original features have been left intact, including a few of the seats, 'stop' bells, signage, and the steering wheel.
Outside, there's a hot tub and a private garden.
Oh, and there's wifi too.
The bus/hotel, called Trafalgar Square, now sits on the grounds of the couple's hotel near Beamish, County Durham, and is best-suited for couples (as there's not much space).
It costs £220 per night during the week, or £250 on a Friday or Saturday.
A little pricey, sure. But it's the only way you'll get the 'sleeping on a bus' experience without dodging puking drunk people and ignoring the bus driver telling you it's your stop.

"Respect For Marriage Act" Vote Is a Betrayal by 12 Senate Republicans
NRB | November 17, 2022 | Advocacy News
National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) expresses grave disappointment in the decision of twelve Senate Republicans to vote to advance the so-called "Respect for Marriage Act," which breaks with the traditional definition of marriage that has sustained the American family for generations and undermines religious groups, including our members, who dissent in speech or in practice.
Regretfully, this group of twelve even includes current and former members of the Senate Values Action Team (VAT), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa). Sen. Blunt has asserted that this legislation "enhances the religious freedom for all Americans by protecting religious organizations from retaliation by federal agencies due to their views on marriage," but the bill does no such thing. A bipartisan amendment that purported to remedy the bill's lack of religious liberty protections failed to address the critical issues, merely pledging that the bill would not do things no one claimed it would do and providing a measure of political cover for fair-weather conservatives.
"In America today, the ability to obtain a same-sex marriage is not in jeopardy. The ability to do business or speak to the culture while holding to traditional values about life, marriage, and family is very much under threat," said NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller. "These are part and parcel of the First Amendment freedoms that NRB exists to defend."
These twelve Senate Republicans, failing to grasp the moment we are in, have instead chosen to register their support for a contemporary definition of marriage that is already relentlessly promoted and advanced in the culture. It is not too late for Sens. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Richard M. Burr (R-N.C.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Todd Young (R-Ind.) to reverse course and vote "No" on the "Respect for Marriage Act" when it comes to a final vote. The alternative is to betray the very people of faith upon whom these Senators have greatly relied.
NRB members can take action by calling the Capitol Hill Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and asking to be connected to your senator's office. Share with the aide who answers that you have serious concerns about insufficient religious liberty protections in the "Respect for Marriage Act" and that you strongly urge your senator to vote "NO" when it comes to a final vote.

Several studies on cheerleading as a sport can be found in the literature; however, there is no research done on the value added to the experience at a university, to an athletic department or at a particular sport. It has been the feeling that collegiate and professional cheerleaders are not given the appropriate recognition nor credit for the amount of work they do. This contribution is sometimes in question as it depends on the school and the sports teams. The benefits are believed to vary based on the university or professional teams. This research investigated how collegiate cheerleaders and dancers add value to the university sport experience. We interviewed key personnel at the university and conference level and polled spectators at sporting events such as basketball and football. We found that the university administration and athletic personnel see the ASU Spirit Squad as value added but spectators had a totally different perspective. The university acknowledges the added value of the Spirit Squad and its necessity. Spectators attend ASU sporting events to support the university and for the entertainment. They enjoy watching the ASU Spirit Squad perform but would continue to attend ASU sporting events even if cheerleaders and dancers were not there.

Happy New Year sows?
First, the good news
With the partial sow stall ban coming into force today, animal lovers throughout the EU should be celebrating. This huge step forward for animal welfare will result in millions of pigs living better lives.
In total, more than 13 million sows are set to have their lives greatly improved by the EU ban on sow stalls after the first four weeks of pregnancy.
Not so happy new year
However, based upon official data seen by Compassion, we are expecting up to 14 nations not to comply on time. These are Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and the Netherlands.
Philip Lymbery, Compassion's CEO, says:"There is no excuse for this, given the lengthy phase-in period that all members of the EU have had to prepare for the 2013 ban. Eleven years is ample time for producers to adjust their systems, those who are non-compliant should not be playing the victim."
Farmers have had since 2001 to change their systems; the fact that we are looking at non-compliance in 14 nations is a sad reflection on member states not treating the new legislation with the seriousness it deserves.
What are we doing together to help the sows?
In support of the ban, Compassion's committed supporters have sent over a million messages to politicians and government bodies across the EU as part of our Project Pig campaign.
The Compassion food business team has been in touch with over 150 retailers, manufacturers and food service companies, asking for confirmation that the companies have ensured they will have a legal supply chain as of 1st Jan 2013.
Philip says: "Many UK retailers have already pledged not to sell pork products from non-compliant countries, once the ban comes into force. I would encourage all retailers and processors to follow suit to demonstrate to non-compliant member states that this disregard of the law and of sows' welfare, will not be tolerated."
Consumers unaware
Despite the fact that compliance levels in France are as low as 33%, it appears that many consumers are completely unaware that this is the case.
From surveys undertaken this month, 67% of the French public think that French origin of pork products guarantees minimum legal requirements for the protection of pigs are respected. With similar results, an Italian survey indicates that 62% of the participants think Italian pig products would be of a higher welfare standard than other countries.
Philip continues: "With approximately 60% of British pig meat being imported - it is cause for extreme concern: for the pigs' welfare, for consumers and their apparent confusion and indeed for our British farmers. With the UK having brought in the ban in 1999, it is high time that UK farmers were able to operate on a level playing field with the rest of the EU."
Please support Project Pig with a donation today so we can continue to push for this vital law to be enforced in every EU nation.
