Tennis

Tennis is a great sport for many reasons, one it is extremely fun to play and two it is one of those sports you can play into your later years.
When looking to buy a raquet, you should figure out the level of play you are at.Beginners might want to choose a head that is wider, which reduces the chance of missing the ball. More experienced players might want to choose a more narrow head which has more power and accuracy.The material used for the raquet are nowadays synthetic materials such as composites and others. Wood is out of date, but you can always go old school.Younger players might want to choose a raquet that is lighter so it is easier to hit the ball. As you grow older, you will become stronger, and a heavier raquet will be needed. After selecting the raquet you will be ready to play tennis.
The first thing you will need to know about tennis is serving. Serving is the most important aspect of tennis. When you serve you will keep your feet about shoulder width apart and you will create a 45 degree angle with your feet. Next you will throw the ball up above your head slightly in front of the boundry line and follow through with your raquet.
When returning a serve you will want to stand in a crouching position and on the balls of your feet making it so you can move quickly as soon as your opponent serves. You want to be comfortable in this position but still ready to move quickly.
Volleying is the second most important aspect of tennis, having good placement with your volleys can win you the match. There is many different shots you can do when volleying. There is slices, topsin, kick, and flat. My personal favorite is slicing because it is tricky for your opponent to line up a good shot and it is easy for me to execute.
Tennis is a great sport to play hopefully after reading this you will feel like trying tennis out.

Pregnant criminal

I believe the mother should be able to give birth to the child if that is her decision, however the child should go into protective care or a foster home while the mother is serving her time. Commiting a crime while pregnant is not exactly showing a potential good mother but it she should still have the choice of whether to have the baby or not. Once the mother has served her time in prison the child should have a choice of whether to move back in with her real mom or stay in foster care, depending on how well the mother did while serving her time. There would also have to be a certain group of people hired to make sure the mother would be financial sound to take care of the child and interview the mother to gather as much information as to whether she would be able to take care of the child.
Another option would be to have the child just move in with the father which would also depend on how financially sound he is and whether he is a good enough citizen to raise the child.

Gun Control

I agree with some limitations to gun use such as background checks at gun shows and other necesarry events. However if the United States were to completely remove guns from citizens the economic crisis could worsen especially in Michigan. Most people living around Michigan are big time hunters and without the sales of guns, ammo, and hunting licenses the country would lose more money. Through research on the internet I have found that incorporating the political aspects of gun politics, and firearms rights, has long been among the most controversial and intractable issues in American politics. For the last several decades, this debate has been characterized by stalemate between debate on an individual's right to firearms under the Constitution and the duty of government to legislate gun laws to prevent crime and maintain order. In District of Columbia v. Heller, No. 07-290, the Supreme Court of the United States held that an individual right to bear arms is protected under the Second Amendment. Repeated polling has found that a majority of Americans believe that they have a right to own a gun while at the same time a majority also believes that there is a need for stricter firearm law enforcement.
