THE government has called on sports stakeholders to continue organising many youth competitions as one way to produce talented athletes.
Deputy Minister for Culture, Arts and Sports Pauline Gekul made the call yesterday at the ongoing parliament deliberations in Dodoma.
To ensure its success, Gekul said over 2bn/- has been approved by the parliament to facilitate the construction of 56 sports academies in the exercise and she said upon completion, many benefits will be recorded.
“The government is serious in making sure that more talented youths are produced in competitions which are conducted.
“Also, the Inter-primary school games do help a lot in identifying youth talents and we, as government, are obliged to create a friendly environment for them to enjoy the games,” she said.
Adding, she said the exercise to construct 56 sports centres across the country has begun and that it will help a lot to sharpen the skills of young people who later become representatives of the country in international events.
“In all regions, we will have at least two academies whose primary purpose is to improve talent of young athletes because we believe that out there, people have potential but they lack platforms to display them,” she said.
Furthermore, Gekul revealed that over 2bn/- was approved by the parliament to facilitate the exercise.

Rome, . The UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has developed two new public-private partnerships to enhance access to cheaper, faster and safer remittances, the hard-earned money sent home by migrant workers.

What’s the difference between a gaming chair and an ergonomic office chair? The former has a full-back design with deep recline functionality. That provides the option to kick back and relax. Ergonomic office chairs are the opposite: mid-back designs with limited recline ranges. These keep users sitting in crisp upright postures all day long. Both are legit. But which is better for your computing needs? This gaming chair vs ergonomic office chair comparison will help you to find out!
Herman Miller leads MillerKnoll, the world’s largest office furniture megacorporation. Since 1994, the company has insisted that its mid-back ergonomic chairs — used without headrests — provide the best posture support.
Meanwhile, the first full-back gaming chair emerged in 2006. Like Herman Miller chairs, these provide fully-ergonomic functionally. In all cases, that means adjustable lumbar and armrests plus a reclining backrest.
The difference: full-back gaming chairs have deep recline functionality; mid-back versions have limited recline ranges. The former provides versatile all-day sitting support. The latter keeps you locked into focus mode, making it a perfect fit in tense office settings.
This video explains the usability — and psychological — differences between the two types:
Mid-back ergonomic chairs are designed to keep the head balanced with a 0° tilt atop the shoulders. Using a headrest isn’t necessary. In fact, adding one ruins a healthy 0° tilt while destabilizing the neck.
In contrast, most full-back gaming chair headrests support a slightly tilted neck. They also support freestyle postures without restriction. This provides a greater sense of psychological comfort — albeit with a loss of postural integrity.
Even so, many leading pro esports doctors insist you don’t need to sit with perfect posture! Instead, fairly good postures + frequent breaks + regular exercise boosts wellness and computing performance!
