GOA, India, Oct 15 (Reuters) - India and Russia signed billions of dollars of defense and energy deals on Saturday at a summit that sought to inject new life into a relationship that has been tested by shifting global alliances and conflict in the Middle East. Under the biggest agreement, a group led by Russian state oil major Rosneft said it would pay $12.9 billion for a controlling stake in both India’s Essar Oil and port facilities that it owns. The countries, which had strong ties during the Cold War, announced plans for a joint venture to build helicopters in India. New Delhi said it would also buy surface-to-air missile systems and stealth frigates from Moscow. “Ours is a truly unique and privileged relationship,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said after talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the western seaside state of Goa.

Modi said that his views were aligned with Putin’s on the unstable situation in Afghanistan and the Middle East, where Moscow is at odds with the West in the five-year-old civil war in Syria that has killed hundreds of thousands. “We are conducting a comprehensive dialog on a wide scale of international issues, in which Indian and Russian approaches are close to each other or coincide,” said Putin. Modi also praised Putin’s support for the fight against international terrorism, which India accuses its neighbor and rival Pakistan of sponsoring. “Russia’s clear stand on the need to combat terrorism mirrors our own,” Modi said. The Rosneft-Essar deal will be the biggest foreign takeover in India, and Russia’s largest outbound deal, according to Thomson Reuters data. It comes as Russia moves to reassert its role in global affairs and at a time when its own economy is stagnant, hit by Western sanctions and low oil prices. Under the deal, a group led by Rosneft will acquire 98 percent of Essar Oil, and with it a 400,000 barrels-per-day refinery and port at Vadinar for $12.9 billion, the two sides said.

This chair looks like a melon-busting death trap. Variér Furniture Gravity Balans Chair It’s like regular sitting … Relatively light and easy to move. Absolute nap magnet when fully reclined. Adjustable headrest is great for the no-necked.

Leg rests allow even the giraffe-legged to truly stretch out. One Gravity Balans = A full semester’s tuition ( … at a state school). Fully reclined position elevates your feet above your head, making TV watching problematic. Upholstery reminds us of a baseline Honda Civic. Moving between positions takes practice, coordination, fearlessness. Allen wrench to assemble furniture is totally Freshman Year. A complete failure in every way Solid with some issues Very good, but not quite great Excellent, with room to kvetch In reality, the Gravity Balans from Variér Furniture is far less nefarious and cranium cracking. Though it’s not the newest piece of furniture to hit the block, we’d heard a great deal about its ergonomic benefits and decided to give it a spin in our quest to find the perfect marathon gaming/lounging chair. Gravity lounging > Gravity gaming. Cracking open the box revealed one of our worst fears: two allen wrenches, a bunch of boards and screws, and a page of crudely drawn instructions.

The two-man assembly (one to interpret the images, the other to clumsily execute) was complete in a little over 20 minutes, having us parked in front of the TV in no time. To be fair, the Gravity isn’t really a rocking chair; instead of remaining in one position and rocking back and forth, it’s designed to rest in one of three positions. The upright position resembled that of a stiff office chair, forcing us into school-marmishly proper posture. This position proved useful for activities like movie watching and gaming, though we felt the need for a little slouchy leeway after about an hour. The next position was a very basic 3/4 position reminiscent of a traditional recliner. As a whole this middle position ended up being the sweet spot for comfort and utility. The final position (which is what lends the chair it’s namesake) rests all the way back on the rear of the slats, creating an oddly floaty, fully-reclined sitting position. Once we got over the initial fear of death (roughly 10 minutes), we fell … in love with this chair.
