Fast, durrible, perfect out of box
The guns pretty heavy and loud but i like loud :)
This is a very very great gun. Its perfect for new players as well as experianced players. you could do alot with this gun. i like it because once i pull it out i look vert intimadating. its very fast up to 25bps if u can get it that fast. just need a fast hopper. ive heard lots of cases of chopping and such and i havent had any i think only 3 have broken and that was because the balls were old. To be honest i think the cheap balls are the way to go i only sue those and i havent had any problems. Gun is quite heavy so try to get a sling.
I tihnk this is a very good gun for a very great price it has some flaws but what gun doesnt i would deffintly recommand picking up one of these bad boys
Well made (mostly metal) not like many other markers which are made of plastic.
Trigger frame and side panels expose electronics.
Overall the gun is well made and functions really well, hasn't chopped a ball yet. Before purchasing this gun I read many reviews and looked through numerous forums. When I pulled it out of the box I was very impressed by the quality, and it wasn't nearly as heavy as everyone claimed (Its actually lighter than most guns of the same price). But something I notice right away was the grip. The plastic grip panels dont seal up really well to the trigger frame. When the battery is installed the panels bulge out even more. This can't be good for the trigger's electronic board. This is very disappointing, I thought I was getting a very durable and tough gun. It looks like you could sneeze and the electronics could short circuit.
I'm currently thinking of ways to solve this problem. A wrap around grip would probably help a little, but not enough. There will still be many ways for paint or water or moisture to get inside the grip. I have yet to find anyone that mentions having this type of problem. I think this is an obvious and potentially serious problem. I've never let snow nor rain nor water crossings, stop me from playing paintball. But this marker is definitely going to limit me to dry weather [unacceptable] until I can solve the problem.
Evolution 3 hopper
20in Smart Parts Tactical Barrel
Tasco Red Dot scope
I use crap paint balls like monsters
Fast, Good Price, Looks, less chopping balls, and All around performance
Without electric hopper it will chop a lot of balls
First of all this is a great gun and I love it. When I bought it I was on a budget so I through the price was good. The first day I used it I chopped about 10 balls, very big pain. I figered that it was do to the cold. So I went on a warmer day and had same problem. I bought my Evolution 3 hopper which can keep up with gun way better and had no problems.
Spyder MR1, A5, and some oldschool shotgun thing about twelve years ago.
The MR1 impressed me so much I was gonna get one, then I saw the MR2...
A5 is a great gun, but a bit pricey over here in NZ once you get all the cool bits.
MR2 straight from the box, remote line and co2. standard gravity hopper.
20/06/07 Have upgraded to Spyder Fasta hopper (30bps) 16" J&J barrel
Definately a faster hopper. NZ Gun laws prohibit automatic weapons so initially the MR2 comes with only semi. easily fixed. Maybe a better barrel, standard one ai'nt too bad though. Cut through the stock with a hacksaw to remove the top bar to aid sighting, or get another one.
ACS, High BPS, solid, looks cool, comes w stock
REALLY LOUD!! Flimsy hand grips on trigger.
OK, so I'm a newbie, fair enough. Having played only limited amounts before going out and buying this gun, a lot had to do with affordability. I got mine in a bundle deal with a mask, hopper, pods,12oz co2 bottle, remoteline, pod harness and a big box of paint balls. All for less than the cost of a standard A5 setup, mask, co2 bottle plus hopper.
Also had played with the MR1 and was fairly impressed with it.
So, the gun. It looks mean without any xtras, scared the crap out of my mates when we next played. Its not bad as far as accuracy goes either, we were hitting a beer bottle at 30ft on semi, and burst. Full auto, well, supressing fire really. Sounds wicked in a big shoot out, sadly not so good if you trying to be all stealthy like.
Now, the weight. C'mon, it does'nt really weigh that much, comparable to my mates A5 with a flatline barrel and stock, but less than than another mates VIPER. Its a MILSIM! Real guns are heavy, quit whining that your skinny girl arms hurt. To be fair, it may too heavy for speed ball, but still, harden up.
Now I have the full range of firing modes, I will need to shell out for a decent E hopper. I used a mates "egg" and we emptied it REAL fast on full auto, did have a few dry fires though, hopper could'nt keep up I guess. But on semi, my gravity hopper was fine, again, did a couple of dry fires but no chopping. The only paint in my gun came from a jammy shot that hit the end of my barrel, a few shots cleaned that out though.
Have been designated the group "Heavy Gunner" due to the amount of paint I chewed through, almost twice as much as everybody else, except the guys with A5's.
I love my new toy, it rocks!! Its good and solid and holds up well considering a 6ft, 90kg kluts is barging through the undergrowth with it. As a newbie I am really stoked with it, and as far as value for money goes its pretty good. Have a few purchases planned, sight and ceramic barrel. Definately a much faster hopper. :) BANG BANG BANG
20/6/07 Have added a spyder fasta hopper (30bps) and a j&j 16 inch barrel and chopped the stock. Works brilliantly! Still bloody loud though. Go through WAAAAAAAY more paint now....... still no chopping. :) GET THIS GUN!!!

Shroud means few barrel choices
Fast gun=more $ on paint
I love this gun. I have had nothing but good times with it. When I first got it, I had an old Revy. I was afraid I was going to chop a lot based on some reviews and the forums. However, the ACS bolt worked great. I did have to re-cock the gun often when I would out-shoot the hopper, but I would rather do that than have to clean out the inside of the gun. Now that I have an Eggy, it fires faster than I could ever want (cost me a lot more in paint these days).
This gun is perfect for woodsball/scenario. Has a great military look. It has also been durable. I have been diving around with it and no problems. Some people complain about the weight of the gun, but I actually like to feel like I am holding a weapon (I do have to admit though after a 7 hour scenario, my arms were pretty spent).
My main complaint is that you are limited on the barrels that can be used with the MR2 because of the shroud. I would think they could make the shroud opening a little larger to accomidate more barrel choices without giving up too much of the look.
I love this gun and recommend it to people who play woodsball or scenarios. Even though it fires incredibly fast, I think the weight would keep it from being a good speedball gun.
Giving it a 9 because of the barrel restrictions.
J & J Ceramic barrel
Regulator - Bob Long Torpedo or PPS Stabilizer
New valve spring or clipped stock valve spring
New bolt - Alamo City top-cocking or simply add o-rings to the stock bolt.
Very aesthetically pleasing.
Side-feed for true military look.
Kingman tried to come out with a nice looking military set of markers, but this marker takes the cake as the worst of the bunch. In theory, it is wonderful. Stock board is capable of 25 BPS, side-feed gives it the tactical look, and with a bunch of other military features, the gun itself looks damn pretty. But alas, Kingman FAILED.
The board is nice. Not only that, but it's nigh impossible to damage it. Very nice milling, very durable, and a great look to it. The awesome extras remain awesome, but it's quite obvious this gun was never meant for serious play.
The stock barrel is not too bad, pretty accurate, but extremely loud. There are about five ports at the very end of the barrel to allow air to escape more easily, but unfortunately, it still sounds like an exploding firecracker. Not only that, but the way that the military shroud was milled renders it impossible to use a different barrel system on it (save for the J & J ceramic). And it's unremovable. The shroud houses and protects the valve, and holds the foregrip in place.
The body itself has few flaws. The anodizing on the gun is beautiful; haven't scratched it yet. The screws don't have comparable anodizing, but the effect that the worn away screws have on the military look is tremendous, giving it an aura of genuine vintageness. It is, however, imperceptibly heavy. The double-stacked tube in itself weighs over 2 lbs, making the gun itself nearly four.
I do like the offset feedneck for true rifle-like vision, but the crossbar stock interferes with the rail accomplishing its intended job. Even so, it still fits the standard 3/8" dovetail mount, so you can scope away without having to buy expensive adapters. The detents are kinda weak, but no more so than other Spyder detents.
Now, the operating system itself is the real problem. A high-tensile valve spring prevents the gun from attaining a manageable pressure. The stock pressure is around 850 psi, and without a regulator, this can spike as high as 1000 psi or more. Not only that, but the foregrip housing interferes installing a regulator via bottomline, so you're stuck buying an expensive inline one.
DO NOT LET THE ADVERTISING FOOL YOU. This incredible operating pressure renders the delrin ACS bolt completely ineffective, even after you break it in. It will chop balls no matter what loader you have, no matter how well you time your shots, and regardless of how durable paint you are using. I recommend an Alamo City replacement bolt ($18), or get a machinist to lathe o-rings onto the stock one.
Although the board is nice, it can't save the gun from anything, and despite Kingman's best efforts to introduce an affordable electroblowback military marker, this gun doesn't deserve credit given.
Do not buy this product. Save your money and buy an Ion or a Custom 98. The Spyder MR2 was a gargantuan flawed mechanical design by Kingman, and I would like to see them take some corporate responsibility and try to correct the chopping problem.
First day I got this gun I brought it out back and shot off about 10-20 balls at bucket on semi-auto around 100ft away, the gun shot pretty accurately there. Then I tryed full-auto with an eVlution loader and it seemed to work fine there too. However when first using the gun to play (woodsball) the gun w/ the stock and a CORE deadsight and ofcourse the eletric loader, I could not move around conviently. I found myslef getting hit over and over without getting a *single hit on my opponent. The next day we went back out except only this time I used the gun without the stock, a plastic loader, and no CORE deadsight or even the sight rail for that matter. I destroyed my opponent. I was able to move much more conviently and *alot faster. Very, good woodsballs gun but im sure this gun would make a decent speedball gun.
Overall this gun worked very well, and satsified my needs. It was everything I was looking for. Once again *great woodsball gun.
Acs, nice stock, very fast, very nice looking, double trigger, durable
On the heavier side, cant tell when gun is charging
The gun is very nice, but is a little bit heavy. i have only owned this gun for about two weeks so i dont know how much it chops but it has an acs, it has not chopped yet but ive only tried it on semi auto. you can not tell when the gun is charging because the light does not come on. but when the battery is low it will blink rapidly letting you know the battery is low.
Great gun for an affordable price if you are intrested in this gun i would recommend buying it
21" true flight barrel
Red Head red dot sight
WGP 50ci 3000 psi HPA tank
Needs the wider site rail to be higher cant see through sight with mask
Personally i love this gun, its sturdy and i like the weight it makes you feel like you have a gun. Shoots fast if you have a hopper that can feed it ive used a VLocity loader and qloader and both worked great i lost the Qloader because loading it got old and i throw alot of paint. Barrel works decent but theres alot better only problem is because the threads are recessed into the reciever you can only install barrels with a stock or smaller back size unless you grind them down like i did. one downer is cand see through scopes that use the wider set of sight rails for two reasons there to low and the stock sits to high wich cause one problem your mask gets squished on and yo eye hurts , im either goina cut some stock off or make a raised set of wide rails that are angled foward a bit.
Highly recomend it. Great gun good speed awesome looks great reliability lots of upgrades coming out now (check out trinity they got mr2 and 3 specific parts out now) I love my gun theres little downsides but the ups out weigh them
SP-8 better shooting; smoother and a lot less kick but taking apart the whole gun to lube the bolt is a hassle for the SP-8 whereas lubing the Spyder MR2 is easier...
DM3, LED Matrix, 2k2 Autococker mech, STO autococker e-blade, E-mag, Rainmaker, Warsensor Wg-47, Ion, SP-8
Low Pressure to reduce the very noticeable kick if you can but I don't know if all the LP mods out for Spyders apply to the MR2 because of the way the body is set-up
Simple design equals simple maintenance and troubleshooting. Looks durable. Competitive pricing; changing modes is convenient
Heavy with a big recoil... shroud may prevent the usage of certain barrels
I convinced my friend to get the MR2 over the A5 that he wanted because it was cheaper than an A5 with an egrip. We went to play and I got to shoot the MR2 for several games. It is a decent gun with a lot of recoil. I usually shoot a Matrix or the SP-8 or the Rainmaker or the Emag or the Cyborg and all these guns have less recoil than the MR2. It is the most significant point that I noticed about the gun after using it. Some people who are used to the Spyders and Tippmanns that are unmodded don't complain as much as I do. The stock barrel is decent but as usual I recommend an aftermarket barrel. Becareful though because we tried using a '04 Freak kit and it wouldn't fit past the foregrip/shroud because the diameter of the barrel was too big. I was using my HALO but when my friend was using it he was complaining about recocking and jams; he has a Java 12v loader which I guess is too slow for this gun. In conclusion my friend has commented he wished he bought the A5 and may end up still getting the A5... he said I need to buy this off of him so he can get the A5... I might if he reduces the price by $75! :D
Decent gun that is comparable to the Tippmann A5 or 98 Pro. No 'must-get' advantage where I would whole heartedly recommend this gun over the others. My preference is still the SP-8 but you are not at a disadvantage going with this gun instead.

text:
J.R.R. Tolkien was a notoriously difficult writer to get to print. That The Hobbit found its way to store shelves was something of a publishing miracle, and it took Tolkien 15 years to write part two, “the new Hobbit,” which we know of as The Lord of the Rings.
With shelves full of Middle Earth material and a global appetite for more, why was it so hard for Tolkien to hand completed manuscripts to publishers?
For one, the universe Tolkien was subcreating was expansive; really, the “world Bible” behind the Middle Earth legendarium was never complete. We have 15 or so books that supplement The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, representing two lifetimes of work–that of the Oxford Elf himself as well as that of his son, Christopher Tolkien. It will probably take a third lifetime before it all goes to the public, and by then it will be a lifetime of reading for the committed fan.
Creating a sufficiently sophisticated and well calibrated universe is a big task, granted. But it was far more than that for Tolkien. As one of my readers has pointed out, Tolkien was a fanatical perfectionist, looking for a kind of lyrical quality and worldview precision that few have been able to emulate. While C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams could dash off tight little books, you can sense that Tolkien was never satisfied with his work. An admirable quality, but frustrating for fans and publishers waiting for the next story.
Beyond complexity and perfectionism, Tolkien at times felt besieged by other factors. In “12 Reasons not to Write Lord of the Rings” I used a Tolkien letter to capture the various ways he tried to explain why his “new Hobbit” wasn’t even close to being complete. Based on the letters Tolkien writes at the outbreak of WWII, we see that: the timing of his mood was wrong; The Hobbit did not set up a sequel very well; most of what he wanted to say about hobbits was in the first Hobbit; his taste for hobbits and readers’ tastes didn’t seem to match; he, his wife, and one of his sons had been very ill for various periods; he was broke; his stories were becoming darker and more adult; and he was short on time because of work and family commitments.
It is a list that any writer will recognize as a crisis of heart for which each legitimate excuse represents an obstacle in a most necessary pathway. The excuses are all real, and yet Tolkien should have been moving forward anyway.
We know this because it is true of us too.
We have the books now, so what pushed Tolkien out of his LOTR entrenchment?
Let’s turn to another piligrm in Narnia for the answer. One of the blessings of Diana Pavlac Glyer’s work is that she calls the bluff on those who see Tolkien as this independent, solitary genius drawing together this huge world all by himself. Lewis himself had this idea:
“No-one ever influenced Tolkien–you might as well try to influence a bandersnatch” (letter to Charles Moorman, May 15, 1959).
In The Company They Keep, Glyer very carefully shows the intricate connections between Tolkien, Lewis, Williams and the other Inklings. They were collaborators, encouragers, critics, and editors in their mythopoeic work. It was at this critical juncture that Lewis offered support to Tolkien, helping the “new Hobbit” to transform into the The Lord of the Rings (see The Company They Keep, 103-107).*
In the cheekily titled Bandersnatch, Glyer presses in even further on the fellowship of the Inklings, linking it back to our own work as writers and world-builders. She is right, I think, about the power of Lewis and Tolkien’s support for and criticism of one another. As WWII would continue, so would all of Tolkien’s obstacles–including the fear of his sons at war in Europe. A review of the early chapters of the “new Hobbit” in 1938 wouldn’t be the last time that Lewis was an imaginative catalyst for Tolkien as he struggled to produce The Lord of the Rings.
This support was absolutely essential. But I want to suggest that a surprising, heretofore unknown factor contributed to Tolkien’s tipping point–and a factor not just shocking to us these decades later, lost as we are in the whir of our worlds’ engines. This factor would have been just as shocking to any of Tolkien’s hardworking colleagues in his own day.
On Jul 24, 1938 he was listing off excuses in an apologetic letter, stuck without hope on the 3rd chapter. By Aug 31, 1938–just 5 weeks later–Tolkien is well into chapter 7. 6 weeks later, on Oct 13, 1938, Tolkien has reached chapter 11 and is “thoroughly engrossed in it.” This despite the threat of exam grading, the necessities of home and teaching, illness upon illness, and the death of a friend.
Tolkien finally found his (famously furry) feet.
Not only is Tolkien working steadily in the summer and autumn of 1938, but he is enjoying it:
“I must say I think it is a good deal better in places and some ways than the predecessor….”
Beyond the friendship of Lewis, what was this factor that set Tolkien a wandering in epic lands again? The uncomfortable, subversive, counter-intuitive factor was this:
Tolkien took a few days off.
This is what Tolkien wrote as August 1938 came to a close:
In the last two or three days, after the benefit of idleness and open air, and the sanctioned neglect of duty, I have begun again on the sequel to the ‘Hobbit’ – The Lord of the Ring. It is now flowing along, and getting quite out of hand. It has reached about Chapter VII and progresses towards quite unforeseen goals. I must say I think it is a good deal better in places and some ways than the predecessor; but that does not say that I think it either more suitable or more adapted for its audience. For one thing it is, like my own children (who have the immediate serial rights), rather ‘older’. I can only say that Mr Lewis (my stout backer of the Times and T.L.S.) professes himself more than pleased. If the weather is wet in the next fortnight we may have got still further on.
That’s right. The secret ingredient to Tolkien’s turning point is rest. How often are our lives filled with noise, activity, movement, deadlines, illnesses, drives here and there, screens flashing in front of our eyes as phones buzz on the desks before us–lives so filled that there are no blank spaces, no lost moments? Long before phones and email and after school activities, Tolkien was pressed to the wall and brought to the point of exhaustion. Actually, he says,
I am not so much pressed, as oppressed (or depressed). Further troubles which I need not detail have occurred, and I collapsed (or bent) under them.
No wonder Tolkien couldn’t get his hobbits past Hobbiton. He couldn’t move his story from fairy tale to epic because all of his imaginative energy was dedicated to carrying his frame around from place to place, doing all the things a teacher-writer-academic-father-husband-church layman is supposed to do.
I hope you will forgive the clickbaitish title, but I think this point is far more shocking than most of the clickbait that tempts on our social media boundaries. We need rest in order for creativity to grow. We are an exhausted generation, and those of us who try to squeeze a few minutes a day aside to make beautiful things are not protected from the web of the world’s expectations.
I do not speak as one who has attained this silence and space and sabbath of the spirit. I have filled my life up too, and yearn for empty space, quiet hours, time with books and friends and family and a blank page in front of me. Yet the testimony of Tolkien shows us that he moved past his fear and indecision when he took a few minutes to breathe.

Despite having been divorced for 20 years, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis made news recently after sharing photos of their family’s shared pandemic lockdown. Clad in matching pajamas, the long-split couple certainly seems to be a model of co-parenting goals.
However, despite the happy images, co-parenting is a significant challenge right now for many families. The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown daily routines up into the air for the majority of Americans. This is especially difficult for families who are co-parenting children together. Not only do the realities of a global pandemic make it difficult to dispassionately assess risk for children, but there are also a lot of restrictions on public activities with stay-at-home orders.
What have the New Jersey courts said about visitation agreements and stay-at-home orders?
On March 21, New Jersey governor Phil Murphy enacted shelter-in-place order for residents. This order stated that only essential workers were permitted to go to work and that people were to leave their homes only to perform essential activities.
Essential activities were defined as “obtaining essential goods or services, seeking medical attention, visiting family or close friends, reporting to work, and engaging in outdoor activities.”
Family court guidance
While this order is among the more strict in the country, it didn’t require courts to relax or rescind existing court orders for custody and parenting time. In guidance established by the New Jersey Court of Family Law, families co-parenting minor children were guided to continue current custody schedules.
You might be wondering how this guidance lines up with the shelter-in-place orders. After all, exchanging children as per custody schedules is fundamentally different than running to the grocery store to buy milk and bread. It’s understandable to feel that keeping a child at home is the safest course of action!
However, remember that the shelter-in-place order includes “visiting family and close friends” as an essential activity. This guidance doesn’t refer to casual social calls, but talks more about essential visits to ensure the health and wellness of others.
If neither you nor your ex has been exposed to the virus and you are both following all the precautions put forth by the CDC and WHO, it’s advisable to try to continue with your regular custody exchanges.
While you may be worried about unnecessary risks and how your ex is handling things, remember that they also still have a right to see your child and your child still has a right to see their other parent.
What have other states said?
Other courts in other states have had a wide range of responses to child custody agreements during the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally speaking, however, courts haven’t been deviating from previous child custody orders.
How can we handle custody agreements?
The main words to remember in this situation is communication and compromise.
Keep a running dialogue between the two of you – if possible – about your own health and exposures, your expectations for your child’s safety, and concerns you might have. If you or your ex work in essential jobs or have had other exposures to COVID-19, you may want to consider an alternate custody schedule or come up with virtual ways to give your child access to their other parent.
If you and your ex have struggled with communication in the past, now is a good opportunity to get professional support through a mediator. Mediators can work remotely with you both to help you keep conversations productive.
What if my ex won’t keep up their end of the child custody arrangement?
Keep in mind that if you or your ex don’t comply with your court order – as in a manner you haven’t mutually agreed upon – there may be repercussions. Courts are still in operation, even if courthouses are closed.
A motion can still be filed to address violations of custody and visitation orders. These issues will likely be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances.
What if we usually exchange our children in a public place? Is this still allowed?
Yes, this is still allowed. Public places are still accessible for essential activities and exchange of children for custody agreements is considered an essential activity. However, visits to these spaces should be limited to just the exchange of children and not other social activities.
Navigating the unexpected circumstances of a global pandemic isn’t something that was written into any child custody agreement!
Figuring out your best path forward with your co-parent will require compromise, consideration and patience.
Our experienced family law attorneys are available for remote consultations. If you need support in communicating or coming to a better solution for your family, we’d love to hear from you.

BELIZE CITY–The Ministry of Health announced today that it has confirmed three positive antibody tests via the Central Medical Lab in Belize City for Chikungunya from samples collected early last week during their investigation of a suspected case of Chikungunya from the Las Flores community.
“These three positive IgM samples along with another sample will be sent next week Monday for further testing and confirmation by the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) Laboratory in Trinidad,” the Ministry said.
The Ministry has had trouble trying to determine whether a Salvadoran woman who had been clinically diagnosed with Chikungunya, or Chik-V, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitos, in her home country more than a month ago had actually contracted the virus, due to inconclusive test results overseas.
No laboratory tests were done on her in Salvador. Earlier this month, her blood sample was tested at the Central Medical Lab in Belize City, then sent for further testing to the Caribbean Public Health Authority (CARPHA) in Trinidad and Tobago and then onward to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia.
Dr. Marvin Manzanero, Head of the Epidemiology Unit in Belize, told Amandala today that the CDC has indicated that the lab sample was not of good-enough quality to do any further testing.
Manzanero said that they will attempt to extract another sample for testing at CARPHA, but first, they have to determine whether CARPHA has the ability to conduct PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing, which should give them a closer look at the sample to more accurately determine whether the patient has traces of the viral DNA.
If CARPHA can do the test, those samples would be drawn on Monday, Manzanero said. However, if this fails, then the case would remain indeterminate, he explained.
As we reported last week, three of the four prior suspected cases of Chikungunya, which exclude the tests now being sent to CARPHA for testing, actually turned out to be dengue, although one woman was clinically diagnosed in El Salvador with Chikungunya and another received a positive result from a rapid test done at a lab in Belmopan.
The fourth case remains open, as the Ministry of Health continues to investigate the emergence of a possible index case in that community.

Sihanoukville is Cambodia’s major coastal resort town. The town centre itself is very popular with tourists from mainland China, less so with tourists from other parts of the world. Sihanoukville town centre has lots of casinos, hotels and restaurants which cater almost exclusively to Chinese tourists and the city’s large Chinese ex-pat community thought to number in the tens of thousands. Non-Chinese tourists tend to prefer the areas away from the city centre and the islands off the coast. Most non-Chinese visitors do little more in the town centre than pass through. The only tourist attraction of interest in the city itself is Wat Leu, which is a Buddhist temple on a hill with good views.
Sihanoukville has a number of beaches, which are referred to by different names according to which travel guide you read. The busiest beach is Ochheuteal Beach, which is sometimes described as being two beaches (Serendity Beach and Ochheuteal Beach). Ochheuteal Beach is near the city centre and the ferry pier for Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. This beach also has the liveliest bars. A more popular option, particularly for younger travellers, is to head out of the city centre to Otres Beach, the western part of which is called Otres 1 and then Otres 2 as you go eastwards. Otres Beach is a narrower beach with less development on the beach front. This is the area you find the best value beach bungalow resorts and most of the non-Chinese tourists that come to Sihanoukville. The beach is also popular with Cambodian holiday makers who turn up in large extended family groups bringing their own food and beer. Otres Beach is a pleasant and inexpensive place to stay which some holidaymakers really enjoy, although in high season it attracts large numbers of younger tourists and is no longer the peaceful easygoing destination that made in popular a decade ago.

Nutritional characterization of elderly people with hypertension in Teresina, Piauí State.
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional state and food consumption, and to characterize some aspects of life style, of hypertensive elderly who attend two social centers in Teresina city. The cross-sectional study comprised 125 elderly individuals of both sexes (17 men and 108 women), who were interviewed through a previously tested questionnaire. Nutritional variables were assessed through anthropometry, circumference measures and a 24-hour food record. The analysis found high rates of overweight (45,6%) and low weight (36,0%). The diastolic arterial pressure was positively associated with overweight (body mass index > 27). The distribution of central lipids showed high prevalence, indicating risk for cardiovascular diseases. The most consumed food types were: beans, milk, breads, cereals, rice, pastas and meats. A great adhesion to non-pharmacologycal therapies in the group of hypertensive elderly was not observed, showing the need to review the guidelines of the Control of Arterial Pressure Program for the Elderly.

– The Facilities for Medicare & Medicaid Companies is finalizing plans to broaden telehealth protection in Medicaid Benefit plans.
Constructing on a proposed rule issued this past February, CMS is encouraging MA plans to extend entry to telehealth companies for members residing in rural areas and together with specialties, resembling dermatology, psychiatry, cardiology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, allergy and immunology, nephrology, main care, gynecology and OB/GYN, endocrinology and infectious ailments, in assembly CMS community adequacy requirements.
“CMS’ speedy adjustments to telehealth are a godsend to sufferers and suppliers and (permit) individuals to be handled within the security of their dwelling,” CMS Administrator Seema Verma said in a press release. “The adjustments we’re making will assist make telehealth extra extensively accessible in Medicare Benefit and are a part of bigger efforts to advance telehealth.”
The ultimate rule additionally expands the alternatives for sufferers with end-stage renal illness (ESRD) to get protection for telehealth companies.
Following by way of on provisions within the 21st Century Cures Act and an govt order issued by President Trump in July 2019, CMS will now permit beneficiaries with ECRD to enroll within the MA plan that finest first their wants, starting in 2021.
This opens the door to, amongst different issues, home-based dialysis applications that use distant affected person monitoring expertise for care administration and transplant applications that use telehealth to enhance organ procurement and post-operative restoration.
Roughly 30 million People, or 15 p.c of the grownup inhabitants, are affected by persistent kidney illness. Of that quantity, greater than 660,000 have kidney failure, and nearly 470,000 are on dialysis. Greater than 193,000, in the meantime, have a functioning kidney transplant, which requires them to observe a really strict day by day treatment routine.
Based on the Nationwide Kidney Basis, telemedicine offers a promising alternative to in-person care, most frequently delivered in a health care provider’s workplace or dialysis clinic. Clinicians can remotely monitor a affected person’s blood stress and different very important indicators, in addition to providing assets for treatment adherence and food regimen plans.
The company stated it’s issuing a subset of its proposed adjustments now to allow MA plans so as to add these companies to their 2021 plans. Additional adjustments shall be introduced later.
Amongst these praising the CMS rule was the Higher Medicare Alliance.
“This remaining rule takes necessary strides to protect and strengthen the Medicare Benefit protection that 24.four million beneficiaries depend on at present,” stated Allyson Y. Schwartz, the group’s president and CEO. “The added flexibility to handle the wants of all beneficiaries, with explicit consideration to these with advanced persistent situations, supplies the chance for Medicare Benefit to supply larger entry to care, new improvements in care supply, and decrease prices for tens of millions of People.”
“All instructed, this rule accommodates reforms that may unleash Medicare Benefit’s potential to supply modern take care of the chronically ailing, together with newly enrolled beneficiaries with end-stage renal illness,” she added. “Higher Medicare Alliance seems ahead to persevering with to work with CMS to handle points associated to the coronavirus, in addition to components of the rule that shall be attended to later, with the aim of guaranteeing that Medicare Benefit continues to modernize Medicare to satisfy beneficiaries’ wants and provide high-quality care at a decrease price.”

Research Interests and Contribution
Broadly, my research interests are in the area of molecular genetic mechanisms underlying human brain disorders. My PhD work demonstrated that unstable DNA repeats block replication fork progression in bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells by forming DNA-hairpins on the lagging strand (Voineagu et al. PNAS 2008), and investigated for the first time the cellular checkpoint responses to replication fork arrest at CGG repeats. This work led to a novel model of chromosomal fragility at CGG repeat sequences (Voineagu et al. Nature Struct. Mol. Biol 2009). For postdoctoral research, I joined the Neurogenetics Department at UCLA, to investigate the molecular mechanisms of autism and intellectual disability, using transcriptome methods. My postdoctoral work led to the identification of a novel gene implicated in X-linked intellectual disability (Voineagu et al., Mol. Psychiatry 2011) and the characterisation of shared molecular pathways in autism post-mortem brain tissue (Voineagu et al. Nature 2011).Currently, my group's research concentrates on the molecular genetic mechanisms underlying normal brain function and their perturbation in neurodevelopmental disorders, using a combination of functional genomic studies in human brain tissue and neuronal cell culture systems.

Why Online Casino Playing?
The revolution on the earth of gambling occurred awhile ago when first online casinos started to seem on the Internet in 1996-1997. Almost immediately, on-line casinos attracted a whole lot of attention from each public and mass media. It was something new, something completely different, and so tempting to strive for everybody who had access to the Internet. Ultimately on-line casino gambling proved to be so handy, so safe and so advantageous entertainment for millions of those that it has become one of the fastest growing sectors of Internet commerce.
Today you will find 1000's of online playing sites on the Internet with more being opened each month. The most visible difference between on-line and land based mostly casinos is that online players can play their favourite casino games on the computer within the safe and familiar environment of their home. All on-line casinos provide customers with detailed information on the site, and a quick guide on how to play at the casino. Some online casinos will supply articles on numerous game strategies, and detailed details about rules of the games, so novice players can really feel comfortable while getting themselves conversant in the gambling parlor, its guidelines and policies. At land primarily based casinos beginner players regularly feel intimidated by the noisy and busy environment, numerous service personnel and gate security guards. They usually feel confused, intimidated and misplaced within the vast building space, being unable to benefit from the gaming process and to concentrate on the game itself. On-line casinos enable players to practice, to hone their gaming skills and to slowly adapt to the new atmosphere at their own pace. Most on-line casinos enable you free play tries so yow will discover out for yourself if this casino is what you're looking for. You'll be able to even play for real cash with out the risk to lose your financial savings by using no deposit bonuses offered by some on-line casinos as incentives for new players.
Another advantage of on-line casinos is probably not so seen, however it is a very important one. The odds of profitable a game at on-line casinos are often slightly higher, than at land based casinos. Due to lower maintenance costs for on-line casinos, they have been able to operate with fewer expenses 24 hours a day, without any days-off. Based on the Casino Journal Magazine, the common payout for land based casinos is around 89%, which means that out of every greenback wagered at the casino, 89 cents are paid out to winning customers. On the same time, it is not rare to see payouts reaching 96-98% for online casinos, which means more payouts to playing clients!
One other characteristic which makes on-line casinos so attractive is promotional bonuses and no deposit credits available at many of them. Utilizing these incentives properly, you may play games and have fun with the casino cash thus saving a few of your own.
Be aware that besides reputable casinos with good service report there are a couple of online gambling parlors which have stained their status by dishonest practices, bad customer service, and slow payouts. You can be asked to your personal information earlier than you might be allowed to play on-line, and you wish to make sure that your personal data is protected by the casino. Due to this fact, it is extremely important first to read online impartial gambling guides to casinos to search out out the players' favorites, trusted and well-known casino sites. Secondly, read carefully the casino's guidelines and policies. Third, strive the casino free of charge earlier than you start wagering your own money. Fourth, ensure that the laws and rules in your area permit online gambling. Do not break the law!

A trio of men’s basketball players asked NCAA President Mark Emmert during a video call Thursday to abide by, and enforce, Title IX gender equity rules and to create a waiver that would let college athletes start earning money from use of their names, images and likenesses this year.
What did the three students say they heard in return?
“A lot of talk,” according to the University of Iowa’s Jordan Bohannon.
Another player involved, Rutgers University’s Geo Baker, said Emmert repeatedly referred to waiting for Congress to intervene and summed up the session this way: “What it really sounded like was that the NCAA doesn’t really want to be the first to make action.”
“We brought up a lot of our points, and it’s kind of like he would say the same thing and kind of agree with us. But that really wasn’t going anywhere,” the University of Michigan’s Isaiah Livers said. “And obviously, from what I hear, he likes to kind of talk about points instead of make action.”
Emmert’s take: “We had a really good, really constructive conversation,” he said during an availability later Thursday, “and I look forward to continuing to work with them and others.”
In coordination with the National College Players Association, the athletes used a social media campaign—with the Twitter hashtag #NotNCAAProperty—during March Madness to protest rules that deny NIL rights and to put a spotlight on differences between the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments wrapping up this weekend in Indiana and Texas.
“Let this be the last NCAA tournament designed to treat women’s basketball players as inferior to men’s basketball players. Let this be the last NCAA tournament that generates a billion dollars from the talents of predominately black basketball players who aren’t allowed to make one dime off their own name,” Ramogi Huma, executive director of the National College Players Association, said on a call with reporters after the three players spoke with Emmert and, in a separate video meeting, Sens. Cory Booker and Richard Blumenthal.
“This is why we’re all here today—to call for an end to the economic, racial and sex-based discrimination NCAA sports imposes on college athletes,” Huma said.
Title IX says schools that receive federal funding must provide equal opportunities to men and women. But even if the trio that met with Emmert knows the rules do not specifically apply to NCAA action, they think its principles should be followed by the group that oversees college sports, especially in light of the issues in recent weeks at the two tournaments, such as different weight rooms and arena logos.
“It wasn’t a mistake. It was almost like it was clearly done that they didn’t want to put as much effort (into) the women’s that they did for the men’s,” Bohannon said. “So us requesting that is further hopefully understanding in the future that this situation will never happen again.”
In addition to the Title IX and NIL topics, Emmert was asked to give players more of a voice in the process, including in front of the Division I Council and Board of Governors.
Huma said miscommunication led to there not being any female athletes present for the video meeting with Emmert, who said: “We need to do the same thing with women’s athletes, by the way. Obviously, I haven’t talked to any athletes on the women’s side but want to do that as soon as possible.”
There were women’s basketball players who spoke to the media along with Bohannon, Baker and Livers. They said they were upset about the much-discussed differences between the two basketball tournaments. They also wanted to look forward and make the case for how NIL rights can help college athletes.
“I’m here just because I’m not sure that anything will change by the time I leave here,” Michigan junior forward Naz Hillmon said, “but I hope to see some change.”
The blanket waiver would permit players to seek NIL endorsement deals as soon as July, before any full action comes on Capitol Hill, where there is legislation pending.
And Emmert’s response on that?
“Basically he said he’s going to get back to us. There wasn’t a direct answer. That was one of the times where he kept talking about Congress, you know? Needing help from Congress. What can Congress do first?” Baker said. “And then he basically said, ‘Well, if Congress doesn’t do anything, then we can discuss the other possibilities, like a blanket waiver.’ Kind of going around the question a little bit, basically just saying he’ll get back to us about it.”

The two surveys show the opinion about the German drivers to buy an autonomous car and in the next survey, the result of selection relevancy for an autonomous car has been shown. The relevancy of reduction in environmental pollution and biological footprint is considered to be the most important with 71%.
Whereas most of the German drivers have been recorded saying that they don’t know about the Autonomous vehicle. No doubt the vehicle is mainly for the advanced or luxurious segment of people who are interested to experience something which is out of the league in today’s time.
In my opinion, the criteria related to AI and a car being self-propelled is something very attractive to the market interested in advanced technology and would like to experience such high tech cars but there is a mass who is also not aware much about the innovation or the progressive development and approach happening in vehicles, or they are not affected by the development. Turning such mass into a valuable market can be challenging but also can be rewarding too.

Back in August, right after I gave birth to the little lord, I did a post on why I thought a lot of research around best practices for caring for infants was skewed. At the time, I was pondering the difference the selection bias around mothers who had time and resources to engage in lots of skin to skin contact with their infant or to breastfeed for more than a few weeks vs those who did not(sparked in part by Mayor Bloomberg's initiative to make formula harder to get in the hospital so women would be more likely to breastfeed).
Well, last week Time magazine did me one better.
In an excellent piece, Lisa Selin Davis points out that there is almost no research on whether there can be underlying medical conditions that affect a woman's ability to breastfeed. The justification for this is that women should be able to do it because "it's a normal mammalian function".
As the article points out, this is a positively stunning thing for a doctor to say. The vast majority of non-injury related ailments we treat are things that aren't working normally.
As I mentioned in my single moms post, sometimes we need more granular categories for the things we talk about broadly. While breastfeeding is good for babies, do babies whose mothers are medically unable to feed them this way really have worse outcomes? If this problem is so unacknowledged, has a study like that ever been done?


Had a great time yesterday playing with my band, Mediocre Bad Guys, alongside the legendary Bobby Keys, well-known sax player for the Rolling Stones, at the BudBreak Wine Festival in Mount Airy, NC. Bobby, by the way, is the dapper looking fella in the cap. This is the third time we've shared the stage with Bobby (fourth if you count the jam session at our practice space when an official gig got snowed out). It's a testament to the random happenstance way life rolls sometimes, as we got hooked up with Bobby through a friend of the band (who also lets us use the basement of his warehouse for practicing) who knows Bobby and invited him to Mayberry one Christmas break. You can read my blog post about that first gig with Bobby HERE.
Bobby's always a lot of fun to play with, and has an amazing knack for coming up with phenomenal sax parts in songs nobody but him would ever imagine sax in. And when he growls out that sax solo on "Brown Sugar" it sure is something special.
There are a lot of other pics and hopefully some videos coming soon on our Facebook page, so consider "liking" the page and keeping in touch with the band.
Oh, and Bobby just put out a biography of his pretty amazing life. You can check it out on Amazon HERE.

Make your next vacation to Canada even more enjoyable with a National car rental.
CarRentals.com puts you in the driver seat
With all there is to do in and around the Granby region, you'll be wanting to explore more than your hotel room while on your stay. Whether you are wishing to have dinner at the bistro that has received great reviews across town or see some of the local hot spots, you'll want your own vehicle to take in as much as you can during your visit. Wherever you drive to in Granby, if you wish to get the most from your trip to the city, having access to your auto is a must.
Originally founded by two dozen independent car rental agents in 1947, National has grown from 60 locations in the U.S. to over 2,000 locations worldwide. National offers everything compact to luxury cars, allowing you to pick the best vehicle for your upcoming trip.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Granby National rental car at a great price?
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest rates, whether you reserve your car. But getting your car well ahead of your visit can help you save even more. Make sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.
What do I need to bring when I get my rental car in Granby?
You'll need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.
What's Granby's minimum age to rent a car?
National's minimum age to rent a car in Granby is 21. Take time to read through National's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category cars in particular.
What kind of National rental car should I get for my trip to Granby?
That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Granby. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a SUV or a sedan will have more room and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Granby getaway can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
Does Canada require car insurance?
You are required to have insurance before you rent in Canada. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a U.S. citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my National car rental?
National requires a deposit when you book your rental car. National will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit will vary greatly based on the make and model of the rental.
Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to National?
At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You receive the car with the needle at "F". If you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a gas station before you bring it back to National. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Why should I get unlimited miles?
Granby certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.

National offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to drop off your rental car at another National. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.

Swords are not only weapons of battle and warfare but these are also symbols of status and great power that have been utilized for centuries in ceremonies, as offerings, for coronations and a lot more. Throughout the years, numerous mythical swords have appeared which brought centuries of legends, adventures, as well as incredible tales that have linked these weapons to well-known folk heroes and figures.
Legendary Blades in Pop Culture
When these mythical swords appear, the weapons represent a much deeper story than just interesting tales and adventures; these sum up a whole interesting story about a hero and the development of their kingdom, and similar to numerous fantasy swords in pop culture, mythical swords are considered physical embodiments of a group of individuals’ power along with their teamwork. Also similar to a variety of fantasy swords, these mythical swords also live based on one’s culture and background, plus these are mostly exhibited in highly popular stories, movies, TV shows, comics, and even in video games. These swords have eventually become legendary and in some instances, mythical artifacts of a long-gone era continue to represent some equipment and tools that have become synonymous with honor, strength, pride, and courage.
Popular Mythical Swords
Every legendary warrior has a trusted weapon in hand and these are mythical swords that are imbued with enchanting magic or at times, supernatural powers – these characteristics of legendary blades have always been a part of mythical swords such as the thunderbolts of Zeus to Mjolnir. Remember that almost every civilization in the world has their own example of powerful legendary blades that are claimed to aid heroes and even gods throughout history.
Listed below are some of the highly-popular and most well-known mythical swords in history:
Kusanagi no Tsurugi
The Kusanagi no Tsurugi is known as one of Japan’s most legendary fantasy swords and is just as important to the country’s history just like how important Excalibur is to Britain; it is also among the three Imperial Regalia of Japan which makes the Kusanagi no Tsurugi even more vital to the country’s rich culture and history. Originally, the sword was called the Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi which literally translates to the “Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven”; however, its name has been altered to the more popular one that most people know of today which also literally means “Grass Cutting Sword”.
The sword is said to have been discovered from inside the body of an enormous serpent and during the reign of the XII Emperor, the weapon was eventually given to Yamato Takeru who was taken by a certain warlord to a grassland as a trap; the warlord’s plan was to simply ignite the grass, make it flare up and burn the man until he met his death. Due to sheer desperation to escape and live, the man began cutting grass with the use of his own sword and to his amazement, he discovered that he was able to control the wind for some unknown reason. From then, the man began utilizing his own powers and expanded the fire, ensuring that the flames would move towards the direction of his enemies to defeat them. After this incident, Yamato was given the chance to name the sword and he called this the “Grass Cutter Sword”. Later in time, Yamato was eventually killed in battle by a strong monster since he ignored his own wife’s advice to simply take and use the Grass cutter sword with him for the battle.
Zulfiqar is one of the well-known fantasy swords that come from Islamic history; it is owned by Hazrat Ali and numerous stories have claimed that Muḥammad presented the sword to a young Ali during the Battle of Uhud. That time, the young Ali attacked one of their fiercest and most feared enemies, breaking both his shield and helmet. Muhammad then remarked that “There is no other hero but our Ali and no other sword except Zulfiqar”. Based on numerous historical records, Ali also utilized the weapon during the Battle of the Trench to cut one of the fiercest and most violent Meccan opponents, breaking his shield in two halves. The Meccan was Amr ibn Abdawud who had strength that was usually likened to that of a thousand men; no one dared nor had the courage to fight the warrior except for Ali who readily killed him with a single, powerful blow. Though the Meccan did wear strong and protective armor while carrying extremely powerful and efficient weapons, he is said to be no match to Ali and Zulfiqar.
The Tyrfing is a magical Norse weapon that was said to be forged by two dwarves named During and Dvalinn. These dwarves were eventually held captive by Svafrlami, Odin’s grandson after they have left their home to head out into the open. The dwarves needed to return before sunrise since they would turn into stone if they did not; however, the king forced the two to create the weapon, and due to how terribly they were treated, they decided to curse the weapon while making it. Whenever the sword was pulled out from its sheath, it would automatically kill whoever it was faced with. Additionally, the sword would also commit three offensive deeds that would eventually be the cause of Svafrlami’s death. A berserker ended up achieving the last portion of the prophecy by cutting off the hand of Svafrlami and killing him using the Tyrfing.
Excalibur is the well-renowned and legendary sword of King Arthur that is said to be infused with enchanted powers. There are instances when the Excalibur and the Sword in Stone are said to be the same, but numerous versions of the story claim that these are two separate and different swords. Excalibur was associated with the legend of Arthur at a very early period: in Welsh stories, the sword is named the Caledfwlch. In the legend of Arthur, there are two famous swords that have appeared: one is the Sword in Stone which only Arthur could pull and wield thus proving that he was the only rightful person to take the position of The King, while the other sword would be the one given by the Lady of the Lake. There are some versions of the legend stating that the Sword in Stone had broken so the Lady of the Lake eventually gave Excalibur to Arthur.
This legendary sword was revealed in China during the year 1965; it is said to have been buried for over two thousand years but the sword, in appearance, still seems as good as new. On its blade close to the handle, one would see eight seal characters that literally translate to “The Sword belongs to the King of Yue State, Goujian”. This person was a well-known emperor in China who ruled during autumn and spring. Although the state that he led was defeated by Wu, the emperor continued to lead his army until victory was achieved ten years later with the use of this sword.
Stories and myths have continued to captivate everyone’s imagination for centuries, and over the course of time, a variety of stories have revolved around the importance and lives of warriors that have either led them to their victory or demise. A lot of these tales attribute mythological swords to the said heroes, and often, these were given as presents by the Gods and would usually have supernatural powers infused in the weapons.


The US stance on abortion is pretty clear, they don’t support it. In January of last year, President Trump resurrected a Reagan era foreign aid policy that froze funding for all health providers outside of the US who not only perform abortions (which was already illegal) but even discuss it as a viable family planning option. Today, Trump and his administration want to enact the same policy here at home.
The new rule, which will reportedly be announced as early as today, will tie clinic funding to their abortion policies. Trump plans to prohibit funding any clinic that performs abortion procedures, refers patients to other facilities that perform abortions or even discuss abortion as part of their family planning programs. While social conservatives are rejoicing, there are many who view Trump’s latest move as an attack on reproductive rights and women’s rights.
How It’s Being Received
The right is extremely pleased with the news. Many religious conservatives are applauding Trump’s move, citing that taxpayer dollars should not be used for medical procedures they deem immoral. The president of Susan B. Anthony List, an organization that fights against abortion rights, Marjorie Dannenfelser, believe this is exactly the right move to rejuvenate Republicans before the crucial midterm elections coming up.
“We thank President Trump for taking action to disentangle taxpayers from the abortion business. Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, is responsible for more than 300,000 abortions a year and has been receiving $50-60 million in Title X taxpayer funds annually… This is a major victory which will energize the grassroots as we head into the critical midterm elections.”
While the right is happy about Trump keeping his campaign promise, the left is singing a different tune. Planned Parenthood has long been at the center of the abortion debate in the US, and the family planning and women’s clinic has major support across the country. This move would effectively eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, who controversially performs abortions, and discusses the option of abortion with pregnant women. The executive vice president of Planned Parenthood, Dawn Laguens, is understandably upset about Trump’s latest attack on women’s rights, voiced her concerns late yesterday via the Planned Parenthood official site.
”It would impose new rules that are designed to make it impossible for millions of patients to get birth control or preventive care from reproductive health care providers like Planned Parenthood. This is designed to force doctors and nurses to lie to their patients. It would have devastating consequences across this country.”
What Happens Next
According to a Bloomberg report, Trump’s new plan would not “fully prohibit clinics from counseling patients about abortion.” However, the plan would make sure any clinic receiving funds under Title X, would have to be willing and able to “counsel and refer patients for abortion.”
As with any controversial ruling, it likely won’t take effect immediately. Planned Parenthood already began collecting signatures and started their campaign to fight the new policy. Leaders from the left are expected to put together lawsuits that will halt the new rule from taking effect as well.

October 17 was a day for the history books. The Chicago Sky, our city’s WNBA team, secured the world championship over the Phoenix Mercury. This is the first franchise win for the Chicago Sky.
In game 1, the Sky beat the Mercury 91-77. In game 2, the Phoenix Mercury sought revenge and won 91-86. In the 3rd game, the Sky won again, winning 86-50. They lead the series 2-1, going into game 4.
In game 5, the game was back and forth. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Chicago Sky trailed by 11 point. They went on a scoring run, and ended up winning the game 80-74. Both the Sky and Mercury had stand out games. Phoenix Mercury’s Brittney Griner led the team with 28 points. The Sky’s leading scorer was Chicago native, Allie Quigley with 26 points, respectfully. Courtney Vandersloot led the team in assists with 15, and hometown Candace Parker led the team in rebounds with 13.
This win was important to the whole team, but it held an important significance to Candace Parker. Candace Parker, of Naperville, played 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks. There she won a championship. Last season, she filed as a free agent, and signed with the Chicago Sky, saying she wanted to “come home” and bring her city a championship. At the end of game 4, Parker broke down in tears, overcome by emotions and as soon as the final buzzer went off, she ran to embrace her family.
The finals MVP was Kahleah Copper. She had many outstanding games, especially game 3, where she lead the Sky with 22 points. Congrats to the Chicago Sky on their outstanding win and for bringing a championship home to the city!

Hello, this is my first time posting, nice to have found this site! I have a question to tease the brain, I have a 1908 DWM mauser ( I know old, antiquated, and out of date and not as good as rem 700, Wby Mk V etc.) that has a bad barrel (rusted) in .308 Norma Mag. I would like to build the most powerful gun I can out of a MZ 98 for about 1000 yards, I know they chamber the .30-378 on these actions and they hold, but would like to stay at or above .375 cal. Gun will be single fed from the rear after bolt removal and custom chambered (no cartridge length limits) do not worry about "springy" action as I have that cured, also weight NOT an issue, the heavier the better. Thinking a .378Wby or A-square with SMK bullets and a 34" 2.25" dia. straight or straight taper barrel. I will be making a custom all aluminum stock. I have a full machine shop and several decades with auto-cad and metallurgy experience but would like to keep cost reasonable. I have no use for the gun really, and want to use the Mauser to see what can be done with it, so. unless you have an action for one of the BIG boomers (.408,.416barret or .50BMG) for less than $400. I would like to use the '98 as it has already had a lot of nice work done to it (Lapped, polished, Match adj. Trigger etc.) with very few rounds through it. Thanks!
