But, as you might expect, the COVID-19 saw a massive rise in online searches for just that, with people turning to any method possible to stop the transmission of the virus. Acer had already launched a series of antimicrobial laptops before COVID-19 hit, so it was ahead of the curve. But on the back of the past 18 months, the company has updated its antimicrobial product range, adding more laptops, displays, and accessories....

The elbow in your side pulls you back to the here and now. ““If you’re not going to watch this, then let me turn on “Savannah’,’’ your wife says. Alarmed, you fumble for the remote. ““But I want to watch this. It’s a pivotal game,’’ you protest while you wriggle back into an alert, upright position and try to reconstruct what just happened in your ball game. And you are embarrassed: you wonder why she never drops off during her shows....

The gunfire continued even after Israel withdrew from the villages-without having accomplished much. Rushing back into the front lines, the Shiites fired a barrage of Katyusha rockets into Israel; one landed in a collective farm, killing a 5-year-old girl. It seemed safe to predict more strikes back and forth across Israel’s “security zone” in southern Lebanon. To the south, meanwhile, a Palestinian stabbed four Israelis, killing one of them, a woman immigrant from Russia....

For many types of chronic pain, such as low back pain, neuropathic pain (pain related to the nervous system), or arthritis, there is no easy fix. Doctors once primarily treated chronic pain primarily with passive treatments like medications.

Today, many pain management specialists emphasize the importance of active treatments in addition to passive treatments like medications and surgery....

While the fact that the Battlefield series is sitting out 2014 puts the new Call of Duty installment in an even better position to take that crown, the game isn’t without competition. Whatever its problems satisfying players post-release, Destiny has been a sales juggernaut, and looks like the one to beat in 2014. However, it’s not just this year’s sales charts that company brass has designs on for Advanced Warfare, as the full quote from Hirshberg demonstrates:...

This new group is known as the ABK Workers Alliance and it has sent a joint letter to Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick and his executive leadership team.

In its Q4 investor call, Activision said that it doesn’t expect Call of Duty 2020 to make as much money at launch as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The company did say that the game has “generated high interest internally” and that it feels “great about the content it brings.” A tweet from Call of Duty news site Charlie Intel revealed that Activision didn’t expect Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to make as much money as it did, and that game became the most successful Call of Duty game of this console generation....

The spread of the coronavirus has become a serious issue, with many countries taking action to try and stop its spread.

The disease has continued to worsen since its initial outbreak, with no clear end in sight....

There is a catch to this deal, though it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for most players. Unlike the free tiers that are already included in the battle pass, these free tiers require players to already own the full pass, which will set them back around 1,000 COD Points, or around $10 in real-world money. Anyone who hasn’t bought a battle pass yet will have until April 5 at 11:00 PM PST to do so to get their hands on the free tiers....

But one reform that ought to have no place at the table is the scheme to nullify the Electoral College, a plan known as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV). Supporters of the NPV are pushing state legislatures to pledge their electoral votes to the candidate who gets a raw popular vote plurality. If enough states sign on, the compact purportedly goes into effect, and the Electoral College becomes irrelevant....

At 3:40 p.m. on Sunday, a car pulled up outside of a Little Caesars where a group of people were standing when gunshots started to ring out. Besides the two victims who are in critical condition, five are initially reported to be in good condition according to Chicago police.

How can we be both a country experiencing a surge of support for gay people and a nation that is so often home to such deadly massacres? After the 2016 mass shooting at Orlando’s LGBTQ Pulse Night Club, Sunday’s events shouldn’t come as a complete shock, but they are another wake-up call that queer life is not insulated from America’s current right-wing wave of hate and violence. It is all part of a wider culture war that is being fought despite the will of the majority....

The metal lid back has an unusual reeded effect, like carbon fibre and not unattractive. The top deck is brushed aluminium veneer, inset with a large trackpad that is unusually high-quality for a Windows laptop, responding accurately to finger movements.
