In 2016, a ban on nonmedical exemptions from school entry requirements came into effect. To uncover what effect this had, a team of researchers examined county-level data on measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine coverage from 45 different state public health departments between 2011 and 2017, and from 17 states between 2010 and 2017. After Senate Bill 277 was adopted, MMR coverage in California rose by 3.3 percent, nonmedical exemptions dropped by 2....

For some species, including whales and dolphins, strandings are well-documented. However, for sharks, information is lacking.

Their findings are published in the journal Fish and Fisheries....

At least the subject didn’t come up with coach John Calipari until he’d fielded seven questions about basketball.
“What was your reaction when you saw Willie for the first time after his trip to the barbershop?” a reporter asked.
“There’s two things I said I’m not,” Calipari answered. “I’m not the tattoo police and I’m not the hair police. I don’t care how you make your hair look. I’ll say this: ‘Looking like that, you better play, Willie....

Despite leakers previously claiming that the Warzone map will stay the same upon the release of Black ops Cold War, the map shown in the trailer for Fireteam Dirty Bomb looks quite different from the map Warzone players are currently playing on. Featuring numerous, bright green trees and locales that look more like a Vietnam setting than a Russian one, if this really is a new Warzone map, it appears to be quite different from the one set in Modern Warfare’s fictional country of Verdansk....

The main two issues that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fans have with LMGs is their recoil and mobility. Anyone running these guns will have to carefully compensate for their shots, which can become quite difficult when paired with slow ADS and movement times.

One of the biggest issues had with the game’s Snipers in its first few Seasons was the lack of flinch. This allowed Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players that were using Snipers to essentially win every gunfight. Even if they were shot at while aiming at a target, the bullets would have no real effect, as their sights would remain on the target. This meant that they could still land their shot with ease, something that rightfully annoyed players who had shot the sniper....
