California Crime Measure Triggers 52,000 Fewer Arrests
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Experts say a 2014 California voter-approved initiative that reduced penalties for certain drug and property crimes has led to the lowest arrest rate in state history as police frequently ignore those illegal activities. Proposition 47 lowered criminal sentences by reducing them from felonies that can bring long prison sentences to misdemeanors that instead bring up to a year in jail. That resulted in 52,000 fewer arrests overall and the lowest arrest rate since record-keeping began in […]

Notable inventions by Leonardo Da Vinci
22. In 1485, Da Vinci plans for an armored car!
23. He invented a hydraulic pump and also built a movable bridge for the Duke of Milan.
24. Leonardo was the first person to study the flight of birds scientifically.
25. He invented an inflatable tube for use in water and also designed the first bicycle ever, almost 300 years before it appeared on the road.
26. Leonardo Da Vinci also worked on the forces of friction and associated laws. He developed a theory of friction, which was arguably the first in the world. From his notes, diagrams were revealed, which were supposed to be irrelevant in the 1920s. However, after their re-examination more recently, the diagrams, dating from 1493 and held in the V&A archive, may now prove to be the key to how his thoughts progressed regarding frictional forces.
27. The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are two of his most famous paintings.
28. Leonardo figured out that the earth is older than the Bible once he studied the erosion of rivers.
29. About the blue sky: Did you ever wonder why the sky is blue? Note that the explanation for this came from Leonardo da Vinci for the first time ever in the history (a clear, cloudless daytime sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light.)
30. Maybe he had some plans for canons, portable bridges, smoke machines and armored vehicles. However, he did not build any of these, possibly because of his nature that he liked to do things slowly, and the time did not permit him to complete his work.
31. Leonardo da Vinci is the first person to have designed a parachute. Yes, he had the design ready, but not the prototype. The design was put to work in 2000 when the South African skydiver Adrian Nicholas made use of it.
32. He thought ahead of time, which is proved by the notes in many of his journals that talk about modern inventions, including a helicopter, calculator, solar power and the beginnings of the theory of plate tectonics.
Leonardo Da Vinci and Mona Lisa
33. Da Vinci's famous painting—the Mona Lisa—sits behind a six-foot bulletproof barrier. You can see the painting on display at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it has been kept for more than 200 years.
34. Many accounts consider the subject of the painting Mona Lisa as Lisa del Gioconda, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant. However, some consider the painting is not even based on a living model.
35. Bill Gates owns one of his manuscripts. The "software giant" bought the manuscript for a whopping $30 million in 1995 and used in it his Windows 95 edition operating system software.
36. It is said that it took him about ten years just to paint the Mona Lisa's lips.
37. Mona Lisa's secret smile: According to some sources, the reason behind the secret smile of Mona Lisa is her secret pregnancy.
38. Da Vinci believed that sight was mankind's most important sense.
39. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa as having the highest insurance value for a painting in history. The painting was assessed at US $100 million on December 14, 1962.
40. In his honor: Historian Helen Gardner said: "… His mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote."
41. In spite of his famous work in many fields, Leonardo on his death bed said, "I have offended God and mankind. My work did not reach the quality it should have."
42. Recently, scientists have been looking to see if they can find Da Vinci's DNA in work that he touched centuries ago, to make sure that the bones presumed to belong to the famed Renaissance artist are in fact his.
43. Leonardo da Vinci was known as the "Renaissance man" because of his work in so many disciplines of science and arts.
44. Leonardo was, and is, renowned primarily as a painter.
Famous quotes by Leonardo da Vinci
- "I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."
- "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
- "Learning never exhausts the mind."
- "The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."
- "Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it."
- "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."
- "It's easier to resist at the beginning than at the end."
- "Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation… even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind."
- "Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments."
- "He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind."
- "A beautiful body perishes, but a work of art dies not."
- "Tears come from the heart and not from the brain."
- "Medicine is the restoration of discordant elements; sickness is the discord of the elements infused into the living body."
- "While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die."
- "Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art."
- "You do ill if you praise, but worse if you censure, what you do not understand."
- "Who sows virtue reaps honor."
- "As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."
- "Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence."
- "Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master."
- "I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."
- "Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge."
- "Men of lofty genius when they are doing the least work are most active."

3D Interior Design
The 3-D technology has bolstered home interior design. 3-D enables homeowners to practically walk through the entire house before giving approval to design specs. This approach is a quick virtual and effective mode of involving the owner of the house in the project process and giving them multiple choices. 3-D software seems to be the best alternative since designs progress fast in real time. Besides, the conventional 2-D format can get more complicated when it comes to looking at room floor plans. That is why using 3-D is highly recommended and given a better rating.
Is 3D Interior Design Free?
This depends on the interior design company's policies. Some are willing to provide free 3D drawing services for homeowner visualization and reference. Some company charges design fee and provide 3D drawings. Actually, there are free 3-D programs that you can download from the worldwide web but it takes a savvy computer specialist to use this properly. We highly recommend a 3D specialist to generate 3D design for your dream home as a good blueprint design is the foundation to a successful renovation journey.
If I sign a contract with the interior designer now, will they provide me with 3D proposal?
Yes, they should provide you with 3D rendering for your approval if you signed the contract with them. Once an agreement has been made, they will proceed with the actual architectural modeling tasks and construction work.
The most impressive 3-D design can be very useful to architects. However, fantastic designs are not computer-generated. These are produced by design pros spending plenty of time designing, evaluating and enhancing details. Homesavv.com will highly encourage homeowner to make use of 3-D rendering that interior design firm provide and give feedback and/or approval before the real on-site execution. Give us a ring today for a free estimate.

Regular solar observers have noticed that since mid-2016, the Sun has occasionally been devoid of sunspots. These spotless disks will gradually become a familiar feature as the solar cycle is heading for its next minimum, currently expected by the end of this decade. The number of spotless days can vary significantly from one solar cycle transit to another. For example, during the previous minimum (around 2008), no less than 817 spotless days were recorded, whereas the minimum period leading into solar cycle 23 (around 1996) counted only 309 such blemishless days.
As the current solar cycle 24 will gradually give way to the new solar cycle 25, several consecutive days and even weeks without sunspots will become the norm. In order to have an idea on the number of spotless days, and how these numbers compare to past solar cycles, the SILSO folks have created a "Spotless Days page". This page contains graphs and tables on the accumulated number of spotless days, stretches of spotless days, and comparisons to other solar cycles – all supplemented with a word of explanation.
The previous minimum surprised scientists and solar observers by being the deepest in nearly 90 years. Will the upcoming solar cycle minimum show as many spotless days, or will solar cycle 25 take off much faster than expected? This "Spotless Days page" will provide you with a front-row seat on the current status of the solar cycle minimum and the number of spotless days. Enjoy!
Please note that the number and stretches of spotless days may differ from those of other sources (e.g. NOAA,…). The reason for this is simply because we (SILSO) are using a different network than e.g. NOAA (their Solar Region Summaries (SRS) are at https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/solar-region-summary). Here at SILSO, we use our own network (mostly European-based). The possible hours of observation are different from station to station and thus from one network to another, including the ones NOAA uses. The differences that are observed in the spotless days streaks are linked to small sunspots (not easy to see when they are there) with a short lifetime (not observed the whole day) that were observed by our network and not noticed by its NOAA counterpart.
So, the key point is that the duration of spotless time intervals is based on small-number statistics, as any rare single short-lived tiny spot can break a spotless interval. In that case, one can expect large differences between independent time series, but those differences should not be considered as statistically meaningful to characterize the solar cycle. Finding the longest spotless interval is more like a curio. A more meaningful index is the total number of spotless days over an entire cycle minimum, however those spotless days are grouped in contiguous intervals.
We'd like to emphasize there's no "wrong" here. Only, when comparing sunspot numbers or spotless days statistics, this should be done within the time series from the respective networks.
The thick green line in the graph above shows the accumulated (total number of) spotless days so far during the transit from solar cycle 24 to 25.
The thick blue and red line show the same parameter, but respectively for the average of solar cycles 10 to 15 and 24 (SCo), and of solar cycles 16 to 23 (SCn).
This distinction is made because the first group has a long delay (about 4 years) and many spotless days (almost 800 on the average),
whereas the other group has barely 2 years between the month with the 10th spotless day and the cycle minimum, and not even half of the total number of spotless day of the first group (less than 400 days!).
It must be noted that the extremes between the cycles in a group can be even more significant: For example, in the SCo-group, the final number of spotless days has varied between 406 and 1028!
The two graphs above show the monthly number of spotless days during this cycle transit (red) compared to respectively the average number during SC10 to 15 and 24 (SCo; top),
and during SC16 to 23 (SCn; bottom). The baseline is again the month with the 10th spotless day after solar cycle maximum. Any spotless days happening more than 12 months before this baseline (month "0")
have been accumulated in month "-12". The "T"'s represent the standard deviations. There's a big difference between the two groups, with the SCn-group peaking early around 2 years with an average of about 10-15 spotless days per month,
whereas the SCo-group peaks only after 4 years with an average of 15-20 spotless days per month. The most recent monthly numbers of spotless days clearly fit much better the evolution of the SCo group than that of the SCn group.
The table above gives for each new solar cycle the date of the first spotless day (after solar maximum...), the month with the 10th spotless day, the month in which the (Meeus smoothed) solar cycle minimum took place,
the delay in months between those last 2 timings, and the total number of spotless days that occurred during the cycle transition.
As can be seen, there is a big difference between the two solar cycle groups.
The first group (SCo; light blue) has a rather long delay (47 months) and many spotless days (about 800 on the average), whereas the other group (SCn; yellowish) has only 25 months between the month with the 10th spotless day and cycle minimum.
Notice also the very narrow band in timings (only 4 months!) for the SCn-group. The SCn-group contains on the average not even half of the total number of spotless day of the SCo-group (less than 400 days vs. 800!).
Note there's no obvious correlation between the total number of spotless days and the subsequent solar cycle maximum (r2=0.35). For example, a total of 200 to 400 spotless days can result in a cycle maximum sunspot number between 150 and 250.
Not very accurate indeed! In view of the ongoing revision of the sunspot number, it is possible there may be some changes in the number of spotless days for SC10-11.
The table above shows all periods with 30 or more consecutive spotless days. The period from 31 July 2009 till 31 August 2009 (SC23-24 transit) is one of the longer ones since the beginning of daily solar observations in 1849.
It is interesting to note that the longest spotless stretch during the SC23-SC24 transit was also the last to make it into the table above.
An even longer period in recent history occurred during the SC22-SC23 transition, from 13 September 1996 till 24 October 1996, when the Sun was spotless for 42 consecutive days.
One of the longest spotless periods (since 1818) is probably from 24 October 1822 till 12 March 1823 (140 days!), but unfortunately, the series are broken on 29 December 1822 (no observation available for that day).
The longest spotless stretch so far this solar cycle transit was from 4 until 30 September 2019, totaling 27 consecutive spotless days.
Since 1849, there have been 114 years (including 2019) with at least 1 spotless day. The chart above shows the 25 years with the highest number of spotless days.
1913 is recordholder with a staggering 311 days, while 2008 ranks fourth in years with a spotless sun (265 days).
With 262 days, 2009 falls just short of 2008 but it still makes it in the top 5 of years with most blanc suns, testifying of the deep minimum prior to the onset of SC24. With 208 days, 2018 (green bar) has nested itself into the top 25 years with most spotless days. It's currently ranking 15th place, well behind 2008 and 2009. The year 2019 has accumulated already 190 spotless days, and will most likely break last year's number of spotless days. With 92 days to go, there's even a chance 2019 will accumulate more spotless days than in 2008 and 2009. A table with the number of spotless days per year can be found here : Spotless days per year
The graph above shows the evolution of the total number of spotless days per cycle minimum transition and the yearly international sunspot number (Sn) since 1818.
Note the values for Sn are in reverse order. The number of spotless days has been set in the year of the cycle minimum. For example, there were 817 spotless days during the SC23-24 transition,
and this data point has been set in 2008, the year of the solar cycle minimum. There are some missing data for the period 1818-1849, and the data for SC10-11 are under revision,
but all in all this graph conveys pretty well that -in general- a low amplitude cycle is preceded by a solar cycle transition with a high number of spotless days, and vice versa.
Nonetheless, there are some notable exceptions, such as SC16 and SC20. The blue dot to the lower right represents the number of spotless days (522) for the current cycle transition.
It is obviously too early to conclude anything about the amplitude of the next solar cycle.

South Korea needed to beat Germany by at least two goals and have Mexico defeat Sweden in the other Group F match Wednesday. The Taeguk Warriors took care of their own end at Kazan Arena in Kazan, some 800 kilometers east of Moscow, with Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-min each scoring in second-half stoppage time. But Sweden made it all moot by beating Mexico 3-0 in Ekaterinburg.
South Korea, which earlier fell to Sweden and Mexico, finished third in Group F with three points, while netting three goals and conceding three. Sweden won the group with six points, beating Mexico, which also had six points, on goal difference.
Germany unceremoniously bowed out of the tournament with three points, losing to South Korea in goal difference and becoming the third straight World Cup champion to miss the knockout stage in title defense.
When the match seemed destined for a scoreless draw, South Korea drew the first blood three minutes into the stoppage time.
Following a corner kick taken from the left, the ball bounced to the feet of wide open Kim Young-gwon, who poked it home past Manuel Neuer in net.
The goal was initially wiped out on an offside call, but a review by the video assistant referees overturned the decision on the field, giving South Korea a 1-0 lead over shell-shocked Germany.
The Sweden-Mexico match had been over, and Germany needed to beat South Korea to squeeze into second place. Neuer moved far out of the net to join the attack and left the net empty. South Korea took advantage six minutes into the stoppage time, as Son chased down a long clearing attempt and rolled it into the gaping net.
South Korea head coach Shin Tae-yong stuck to the 4-4-2 system for the second straight match but made a few lineup changes for the third straight match.
On the attack, two players with extensive club experience in the Bundesliga, Son Heung-min and Koo Ja-cheol, got the nods as forwards.
Son also wore the captain's armband, with the incumbent Ki Sung-yueng sidelined with a calf injury.
Jang Hyun-soo, a much-maligned center back from the first two matches, took Ki's spot as a holding midfielder, alongside Jung Woo-young.
Jang's shift meant an opening on the backline, and Yun Young-sun made his World Cup debut as a center back next to Kim Young-gwon.
Lee Yong got his third straight start as left back, with Hong Chul in for the first time on the right side.
Lee Jae-sung and Moon Seon-min were the attacking midfielder, with Lee moving down from the forward position against Mexico last Saturday to his natural spot.
The teams were scoreless in the dull opening half. Germany played keep-away in the early moments but failed to put much pressure on the defense. And it was South Korea who had the first dangerous opportunity of the match in the 19th minute.
Jung Woo-young took a free kick from a few meters outside the box, and German keeper Mauel Neuer misjudged the flight of the ball, as he failed to make a clean grab.
The loose ball bounced just to his left, but Neuer barely beat Son Heung-min to it and punched it out of harm's way.
Germany had a decent look in the 39th in a scramble following a corner, but Mats Hummels couldn't get a shot off in the crowd.
The match opened up a bit at the start of the second half. And South Korean goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo, the team's best player in the tournament, once again rose to the occasion to keep his side in the game.
In the 47th, Joshua Kimmich set up a wide-open Leon Goretzka for a header right at the goalmouth, but Jo jumped to his right and parried it away.
Four minutes later, Timo Werner launched a volley from the penalty spot after a fine Mesut Ozil feed, only to send it wide left of the net.
Just after the hour mark, Toni Kroos fired a shot off a teammate after a fast break.
But South Korea started pushing back, getting deep into the German zone with a purpose.
Moon Seon-min found himself with the ball near the penalty spot in the 66th, but he failed to take a shot when the lane opened up briefly, before help arrived and foiled his opportunity.
Some two minute later at the other end, Mario Gomez got off a header that went right into the outstretched arms of Jo.
The teams continued to trade chances, with Son rolling one just left of the goal in the 78th minute, and Hummels missing the target with a header in the 86th.
Jo remained tall in the South Korean net, and denied Tonyi Kroos on a low shot in the 87th minute.
Though Germany had 26 shots attempts to South Korea's 11, they looked disjointed at times, not showing the kind of quality in the final third that has made them the No. 1-ranked team. And though a draw would still have knocked Germany out of the World Cup, South Korea made sure they paid dearly for some sloppy play. (Yonhap)

A glass of filtered waters costs $7.50. An order of whole-wheat ricotta pancakes goes for $39. A cookie will cost you $5.25. A bowl of pretzels is 40 bucks and Wi-Fi will set you back $175 per computer. These are just a handful of price quotes my wife received from a chain hotel in Washington, D.C., while planning a recent meeting for the hospital she works for in our nation's capital.(Edited to fix formatting.)
But those fees are just the tip of the iceberg. Hotels can really crush you on the A/V and technical charges. At this hotel, if you need an LCD projector to show a power point, they charge you $1,500, and even if you bring your own projector, as my wife did, they still charge you a mandatory setup fee of $800.
Perhaps the most laughable fee is a $250 charge for putting on "background music" during a reception. Wouldn't it be nice if you could sell $2 bags of chips for $40, get $250 for popping in a cd of elevator music, and charge $5 for cookies or a bottle of water that costs you only 25 cents?
I'm guessing this is old news to my friends who work with hotels for cons.

4-H Life Ready Spring Break Camp
April 1 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Event Navigation
It is time for Life Ready Spring Break Camp 2019! This camp is available to students ages 13-18 and will be held for the first three days of Spring Break, April 1st-3rd. Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day except for Wednesday when we will return at 5 p.m. Youth are not required to be enrolled in 4-H to attend. Limited to 15 participants.
Life Ready Spring Break Camp exposes students to a variety of career fields where they can speak directly with the professionals themselves and their work environments to see what their jobs are like. We will visit a variety of professionals in their work spaces to learn more about their fields such as T.V. broadcasting, exercise fitness, animal science, and marine biology. The camp also exposes students to life skills that they will practice during the camp like how to rent an apartment, use power tools, and maintain a car.
Though much of our camp will be off-campus we will begin and end each day at the UF/IFAS Extension office (2800 NE 39th Ave. Gainesville, FL 32609). Attached is the flyer for the camp and registration is available at the link below: http://tinyurl.com/y39ryxlk. Registration fee is $75.00.
We hope your student can join us!

"Step Up & Eat Great"
Grand Opening 2017
"Step Up & Eat Great"
"Fueling Healthy Businesses"
Why the name?
Why the name?
Building Blocks. It's not a very "foodie" name. Yet, I kept coming back to it. I associate building blocks with simplicity, cooperation and children. So, the name seemed to fit the concept.
1) Get great ingredients and treat them simply. Eating for health is a simple, daily commitment.
2) It feels good to be a small part of something big.
3) "A society's destiny rests on how it treats its children." - Robin Grille
My kids are young. I hope that this venture will provide them an opportunity to see their parents build a business that pleases our community and invests in a better future.
- Roshan Yannotti
Taking the Leap- 2017
Taking the Leap- 2017
After 15 years in restaurants and 5 years as parents, the time finally came to birth our own small business. So, please, help us make Building Blocks a success. We invite your support, your suggestions, and your feedback. We hope to be part of the Greater Lansing business community for many years to come.
- Jason and Roshan

The difficulty of discussing Arrayed Claws, the new 38-minute "EP" from Lorn, is not necessarily describing the individual elements. After all, most passages of the album, when taken in a silo, sound pretty familiar. The difficulty in describing this music, then, comes in capturing just how this group of Italian black metallers deconstruct, devolve, and generally warp these sounds. Because even the ways in which they deconstruct, devolve, and warp seem different.
But just so, and that's the key to both the EP's quality and slightly mysterious appeal. Lorn has this uncanny knack for unusual transitions and resolutions, leaving you on the edge of your seat but not necessarily in a place of tension. Opener "Disharmonic Feticism," for example, begins in rather standard dissonant black metal fare before it flat out rocks a way not unlike Deströyer 666 if they used more needles in their riffs. This, of course, is purely a ruse, as the song then proceeds to layer monolithic riff upon monolithic riff as if building some alien structure, refusing to provide any real ending other than a fade into soft, synthy ambience.
It's a wickedly cool song that will likely piss off certain listeners purely by refusing to serve anything other than the band's nutty intentions, which will naturally be exactly what appeals to other listeners. It also sets the tone for the EP's trichotomy: intensely aggressive black metal, passages that tease you into thinking you can just sit back and raise the horns, and oddly relaxing, but not quite soothing ambience.
If the first track does this well, "Abstract Trap" does it great. It starts with the kind of black metal that Deathspell Omega would play if they were intent on clinical precision and an almost industrial percussive edge, diving ever deeper into this sound until it arrives at some crazily razor-sharp dissonance. And then it abandons this irresistible pinnacle for near silence, eventually bursting back with another long passage where the band employs repetition and layering to maximum effect. The song does not, however, go for the long-cherished "hypnotic" black metal approach, but instead feels like some pre-orchestrated struggle. Overwhelming malevolence rules this, to be sure, but it is not trying to ensorcell your soul with ancient magic. Rather, it wants to meticulously reprogram the very coding of your mind.
And then naturally the whole thing gets back to near-black/thrash devil-rocking with "Toybodim," at least for a while. It seems like a tease, but it is not, and that is really what Arrayed Claws does best: It tricks your mind into thinking the album is trying to trick you, but it isn't; and that's the trick. Really it's just a great little bit of slightly-off-kilter black metal that will appeal greatly to those that find a great deal of enjoyment in being a just little weird. But just a little.

Korean game site Game Focus (via Kotaku), only 200 consoles were sold at the big launch event held in Time Square in Seoul. Though sources point to all of those consoles being pre-ordered, there hasn't been a confirmation yet. For comparisons sake, the PS4 sold 440 consoles at it's launch event last December. Having only launched this month, these sales numbers are only the beginning, but in a country that is so focused on PC gaming, it will be hard to convince gamers to switch to Xbox One without a reason. Fore more news on Xbox One, PS4 or gaming today keep it locked to The Jester's Court.

EditorsNote: changes to "33 yards" in seventh graf
Brett Maher's 52-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright as time expired, and the Washington Redskins held on to beat the visiting Dallas Cowboys 20-17 on Sunday in Landover, Md.
Adrian Peterson rushed for 99 yards as the Redskins (4-2), who have won back-to-back games for the first time this season, increased their lead in the NFC East.
Dak Prescott dove in from a yard out with 1:37 remaining to pull Dallas within 20-17, and the Redskins then went three-and-out.
The Cowboys (3-4) started at their own 35-yard line with 1:09 remaining. Prescott hit Cole Beasley for gains of 18, 9 and 6 yards to reach the Washington 31 with 12 seconds left.
Elliott ran to the 29, and Maher lined up for a 47-yarder, but a snap infraction against long snapper L.P. Ladouceur pushed Dallas back 5 yards.
Alex Smith completed 14 of 25 passes for 178 yards and one TD for the Redskins.
Washington held Ezekiel Elliott to 33 yards on 15 carries. Prescott finished 22 of 35 for 273 yards and one touchdown pass.
Trailing 13-10 in the fourth quarter, Dallas was backed up with a third-and-14 at its own 10-yard line when Ryan Kerrigan sacked Prescott and knocked the ball loose. Preston Smith recovered at the 1-yard line and took the ball in for a score with 4:55 to go.
Washington got to the Dallas 1 early in the third quarter but settled for 21-yard Dustin Hopkins field goal and a 10-7 lead. Hopkins added a 25-yarder early in the fourth.
Dallas pulled within 13-10 on Maher's 47-yarder with 9:46 remaining.
Washington took a 7-0 lead on its opening drive of the game, scoring on a 23-yard Smith-to-Kapri Bibbs screen pass.
Dallas tied it with 1:00 left in the first half. From the Washington 49, Michael Gallup ran a hitch route, and Prescott hit him in stride at the 15 en route to the touchdown.

We can moderate greed. Can't we moderate sex? It seems difficult. As many as those who can't moderate sexual cravings are the commercial sex workers (CSW) who offer services preferred by customers. Many of them don't mind the value of safe sex.
This may not be a national trend but the Mandaue City Health Office noted the rise of sexually transmitted infection (STI) cases. From 553 cases counseled and treated by Mandaue City Health Office in 2006, it ballooned to 867 cases in 2007. This is attributed to a number of unregistered or freelance commercial sex workers who practice their trade without or with little knowledge of safe sex. [Source: Sun Star Cebu]
Thus, in Sun Star Cebu report, [t]he Mandaue City Government tapped the services of commercial sex workers (CSW) […] (to monitor) freelance CSWs and teaching them to practice "safe sex". These people are called peer educators and are trained on how to explain to their peers the mode of transmission of […] (sexually transmitted infections) and its prevention, and healthy practices. Peer educator are given monthly allowance.
Mandaue City's program is a good small step to help lessen STI cases. Although there are some conservative groups that assail the program. A group called AIDS-Free Philippines asserts that abstinence and chastity are still the best proven and most effective weapons against […] STI.
Is sexually transmitted infection alarming?
Although the Philippines has sustained its relatively low prevalence of HIV/AIDS cases compared to over 20 million victims in the world. Sun Star Cebu editorial noted however that the cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which is a "co-factor for HIV transmission," remains high.
As of January 31, 2008, a total of 3,119 HIV and AIDS cases were reported in the Philippines. The first confirmed case of AIDS in the country was recorded in May 1984.
We need proper sex education. We need effective government programs.
Many victims, I observed, are reluctant to seek medical attention for shame. I remember someone (male friend victim of STI) who tried to insert infected penis in boiled coconut water hoping cure. He did it because he could not take the soapy water of dissolved detergent as advised by another friend.
Without proper sex education, many male don't like condoms as protective shield against STI.
Is it time to intensify the campaign to use condoms?
Condom may help but for Dr. Rene Joseph C. Bullecer of AIDS-Free Philippines, condoms are never proven to prevent HIV because statistics continue to show that in countries where condoms are freely advertised and made available to the public, particularly among teenagers, the number of cases of both the sexually transmitted infections or STI and HIV have skyrocketed to very alarming rates.
Or do we need to strenghten Filipino christian values?
I prefer the latter. And moderating sex, perhaps.

Examples of MWF
Got the last seat in the GUI course I really wanted and finagled my schedule so that I only come in MWF
@TmanVGC, April, 2017
Another reason why some people have steered away from the personals is because it's hard to decipher the abbreviations and code words. While "MWF" (married white female) or "DJM" (divorced Jewish male) are easy to understand, other phrases have double and even triple meanings."
New York Magazine, March, 1984
As the most common treatment of advanced kidney failure, HD typically requires patients to follow a strict treatment schedule, which typically entails receiving dialysis on a thrice weekly schedule; either Monday-Wednesday-Friday (MWF) or Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday (TTS).

A Concern on Waste Management
Years and years people have been complaining of waste running down the rivers in America. Doing some research in my own state reveals much behind the curtain of politics we all face today. The great show on the major media hardly touches the real concerns facing the infrastructure of our country today. At least Trump implies rebuilding America. What does that mean exactly?
The environmental concern from many different links associated with the smaller blogs and newspaper articles shows this concern far more efficiently than the their major media counterparts. Pick up your local newspaper and see for yourself in your area...
The waste management in southern Florida is definitely years behind what our current technology can provide. Those who live in the area see the green filth running down the rivers straight into the ocean. Dead fish, birds, and critters of all sorts are turning the water into a literal river Styx.
The sewer waste and chemical dumping is causing a green algae to accumulate at some of the Florida beaches.
Here's a detail of one path of shit coming from Lake Okeechobee right on down the St. Lucie River waterway out onto the beaches in Stuart.
Where will the green slime go? Florida tracks its spreading algae
Scientists questioned by Miami Beach commission about waste in bay
Fine! Question the scientists. Where will that go? It's the lobbyists and the politicians that need a kick in the ass to address these real issues. Local community infrastructures are slowly rotting away. Too many corporate developments injecting their own self interests into the quantitative equation.
The great river once had a wide, winding, drainage basin that held water, but it was straightened so now it all pours quickly into the lake full of agricultural and urban filth.

^Ti-L model only. Drivers aid only and should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices. Always monitor your surroundings when driving.
Intelligent Cruise Control
With Intelligent Cruise Control^ the Nissan Patrol takes the effort out of going with the flow. Instead of sticking to a fixed speed, it senses what the traffic in front is doing and can speed up, or slow down for you.
^Ti-L model only. Drivers' aids only and should not be used as substitutes for safe driving practices. Always monitor your surroundings when driving.
Intelligent Around-View® Monitor
The Intelligent Around-View® Monitor^ uses four cameras to give you a virtual composite 360 degree bird's-eye view of your vehicle, with selectable split-screen close ups of the front, rear, and kerbside views, so you can get a better look. Moving Object Detection^ can detect moving objects near the vehicle, and can give you a visual and audible alert.
^Driver's aid only and should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices. Always monitor your surroundings when driving.
Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention^
If another vehicle is detected in the blind spot area, an indicator appears in the driver's or front passenger's door pillar. Then, if you put your turn signal on, the indicator flashes with a warning chime. If, for instance you continue to change lanes and the car in your blind spot also continues to proceed, the system will initiate, gently braking one side of the vehicle, bringing your vehicle back to your original lane position, well out of harm's way.
^Ti-L model only. Drivers aid only and should be used as a substitute for safe driving practices. Always monitor your surroundings when driving.

*Ti-L model only.Stay grounded.
Both Ti and Ti-L models boast the state-of-the-art Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC) suspension system. Acting as both shock absorbers and stabiliser bars, the HBMC system ensures you stay on the ground, even when you're off the beaten track.
We've placed enormous weight on its ability to tow.
The Nissan Patrol brings with it the technology, design and forethought needed to tackle almost any terrain. For instance the Intelligent 4X4 technology allows the driver to switch between a range of different modes, including sand, on-road, rock and snow with the push of a button. Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control systems give the driver the utmost confidence to take the road less travelled. When that road gets that much tougher, the driver can engage the electronic rear differential lock with the push of a button. When it comes to the Nissan Patrol, capability is everything.
The Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC) suspension system has been implemented to ensure remarkably low body roll when powering through corners and provides better traction through rough terrain. HBMC plays both the role of shock absorbers and stabiliser bars, allowing for full wheel travel, meaning your wheels will stay firmly on the ground when you're off the beaten track. The HBMC system provides this balance and superior cornering by monitoring force and then distributing pressure to either the outer or inner double wishbone suspension system. This HBMC system delivers a smoother ride, safer cornering and overall enhanced stability.

Bruno and I spent five days in Paris during our honeymoon. Living that graduate student stipend life, we spent five nights in what was basically a tiny attic converted to an apartment four blocks away from the Notre Dame. We arrived in the evening and after dinner at a local cafe, we walked to the famed cathedral. It was our first and most frequented stop during the entire trip.
I knew I wanted to see it — I grew up watching the Hunchback of Notre Dame over and over (side note: how was this ever a children's movie?). But I do not think I expected it to startle me in the way it did. I could not get over the church's beauty and how overpowering the whole structure felt. I had goosebumps. I cried. It was like my eyes could not feast enough on the church. We walked around and I exclaimed over the flying buttresses and we sat at a cafe, close enough so I could keep looking, enjoying drinks before we walked back to our attic.
Every day we stopped by the cathedral. On Sunday we went to mass and I was filled with wonder again. I could not — and still cannot — get over the fact that men, people living and breathing just like me, made this over two hundred years. It made me feel small, but also a part of something larger and greater. Here I am, a mere student, but also a Catholic, a true lover of Western Civilization and everything it stands for, appreciating one of its greatest accomplishments. I prayed to God and took holy communion in the same church many have done before me since the 13th century.
I was checking the Boston Marathon results after CrossFit when I saw the Notre Dame was on fire. Marathon forgotten I checked to see if it were true. I cannot blame pregnancy hormones for how much I cried over that church yesterday. I love the Notre Dame and I love what it stands for. I hate throwing around words like "awe" and "sublime," but there I felt those things. There I physically felt the sense of something greater. It devastated me to know that it will never be the same.
I'll admit now I feel angry. As everyone mourns (and Macron claims it will be rebuilt), I want to point out this cathedral has been neglected for years. After visiting Paris and the experience I had at the Notre Dame, I learned how little money the church had to keep up with repairs. I learned that the Friends of Notre Dame frequently went to Americans for help with upkeep.
I can only suspect this comes from taking the cathedral for granted the way western civilization as a whole is taken for granted. I cannot help but feel frustrated with those who see the damage done to the Notre Dame as a great loss, but do not connect that to the loss and negligence of the culture that helped to create such a structure.

My Bedside Table
Sadly somebody put my copy of Robinson Crusoe on hold at the library. So I decided to read something new. This book is called The Oracle. This book is written by Jackie French, and she is and Australian author. I have currently read 81 pages out of 342 pages.
Today, we went outside and measured our shadows. Shadows are the projected darkness after the light shines on someone. We drew a place to put or feet and traced the shadows twice; once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
Moon Phases
Today, using Oreos we made the moon phases. In moon phases there are 8 phases; named New Moon, Waxing Cresent, First quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quater, Waning Cresent.
My Bedside Table & Reading Book
Recently I have been reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. I am currently at page 140. This book is a classic and it is indeed a very entertaining read. I will definitely recommend this book for you to read.
RunThatTown is a game made by the 2011 Cencus. Cencus in Australia keeps everyone informed about how many population, how they travel, types of families ect. RunThatTown uses these statistics from 2011 and allows you to 'run a town.'
Aussie Party on Party
Today for inquiry, the Aussie Party on Party had their turn. This party had four different activities. First we played silent ball, silent ball is a game where you pass a ball around and be silent. Then we played run that town on my iPad. After we played run that town, we went outside to […]
The Olympians Party
Today for inquiry, it was the Olympians' turn to do inquiry. We went outside and played four games of basketball. This was probably the best party so far. My team included, Anthony, Brodie, Emily, Natilie, and I. The members of the Olympians were; Anthony, Ellie, Libby, and Josh!
Donut Party
Sorry, this one is a bit overdue. On Friday, the donut party won the election. First we went outside and played kick ball, it was a lot of fun! Then after we played kick ball we ate donuts that Max's dad made. The members of the party were Bella, Charlotte, Max, and myself.

If laws without enforcement are merely good advice, then how can the environment be meaningfully protected by international legal institutions? This thesis will examine the role that non-governmental organisations can play in enforcing international environmental laws. Specifically, the history and efficacy of international marine wildlife conservation laws, and the role of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in enforcing them, will be explored. In order to do so, this thesis discusses the evolution of international conservation law, through which the failures on the part of nation-states and legal institutions to comply with and enforce them will be explored. Exploring the gap between law and enforcement provides a basis for the discussion of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's efficacy as a marine conservation organisation, and legitimacy as an actor in international law. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society upholds important international marine wildlife conservation laws using both non-violent direct-action tactics, and recently, direct-intervention approaches in cooperation with governments. The organisation undertakes such actions in order to fill gaps in enforcement where nation-states lack the means, political will, or jurisdiction to institutionalise conservation. By examining three such instances where the group has effectively enforced international conservation laws, it is shown that while the goal of marine wildlife conservation is not being met by state actors, it can be by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Because nation-states have not proved themselves to be viable environmental actors, there is a necessary place for non-governmental organisations like the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in the international legal realm. This discussion thereby serves to demonstrate that the actions of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ensure the protection of marine wildlife, and in doing so, strengthen and confer legitimacy to international law. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Towards Decentralized Power Systems: Market & Regulatory Frameworks for Ontario Lev, Natanel https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/handle/10315/36385 2019-08-20T10:35:05Z 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Towards Decentralized Power Systems: Market & Regulatory Frameworks for Ontario Lev, Natanel This MRP is about the sustainability transition of Ontario's electricity system. A sustainability transition is understood as a type of purposive socio-technical transition, which is meant to address some normative goal rather than to exploit commercial opportunity. I use the analytical framework presented by the socio-technical transitions literature and multi-level perspective theory to assess the state of Ontario's grid modernization as evidenced through primarily documentary evidence, most notably the 2017 Long-Term Energy Plan. I conclude that based on this evidence, Ontario is taking a transformation pathway, which is characterized as being driven from within the established regime that modifies its own trajectory in response to landscape pressures and an under-developed niche. This is represented by Ontario's preferred approach to enable LDCs as the primary developers of DERs through regulatory changes. I then argue that in light of sustainability objectives that I identify in this paper, Ontario's approach has some shortfalls, and instead I recommend a reconfiguration pathway that requires the strategic modification of 3 key areas to enable a competitive retail DERs market. The three key areas are: (1) adjustments to the grid architecture to address the operational and functional roles of grid actors; (2) establishment of a market structure known as a platform to enable the participation of distributed resources to compete with traditional resources on a level playing, which can be done either at the bulk or distribution levels; and (3) the regulation of a competitive retail DERs market in Ontario. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z B is for Bug, O is for Oikos: A Partial Dictionary of Household Arthropods Lavin, Madeleine https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/handle/10315/36384 2019-08-20T10:38:20Z 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z B is for Bug, O is for Oikos: A Partial Dictionary of Household Arthropods Lavin, Madeleine Arthropods are the most numerous and diverse group of animals on the planet. This work seeks to explore the relations between humans and arthropods within the context of modern, North American homes. The unknown, sometimes undiscovered, or simply overlooked landscapes of human households provides a rich environment in which to explore the lives of arthropods that can offer different, and often humbling, perspectives to humanity. The species I explore are (for the most part) those that have cosmopolitan distributions and have specific adaptations that allow them to live alongside us in our dwelling spaces, our oikos. I reconceptualise human households as a multispecies assemblage, which serves as both a metaphor and a map for my explorations of the situated human-arthropod relations in this environment. I draw on a materialist approach that considers the intra- and interactions between human and nonhuman animals, plants, objects, and other things within human households. Interest in the investigation of human homes from the perspective of the natural and biological sciences has grown in recent years: I pair the scientific study of indoor arthropods with a phenomenological exploration of the lifeworlds of these creatures in order to discover why it is that these organisms make their homes alongside ours; raising the question of who is what to whom? In so doing, I also challenge the notion of what it means to be a pest by looking at the evolution and ecological roles of arthropods alongside human cultural perspectives and histories that make up what we know or think we know about these creatures. Education thus serves as a fundamental aspect of my research insofar as coming to know these organisms is essential so that we can make reasoned decisions about how we want to live with arthropods of the indoors. My objective in exploring human-arthropod entanglement within the home is to "stay with the trouble" (following Haraway, 2016b) and consider what it might mean to both live and die well with these creatures by envisioning a present in which humans accept these creatures and our shared life histories as simply a part of life. Ultimately, it is my hope that we can at least grow to tolerate arthropods, if not developing some level of respect for their presence on earth. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Climate Vulnerability, Adaptation, and Grassroots Renewable Energy in Nicaragua: A case study responding to the El Niño of 2015-2016 in Las Mariitas, Somotillo, Chinandega Jimenez, Juan https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/xmlui/handle/10315/36383 2019-08-20T10:35:09Z 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z Climate Vulnerability, Adaptation, and Grassroots Renewable Energy in Nicaragua: A case study responding to the El Niño of 2015-2016 in Las Mariitas, Somotillo, Chinandega Jimenez, Juan The Major Research Project examines the application of Community Based Adaptation practices in the community of Las Mariitas, municipality of Somotillo in Chinandega, Nicaragua. The study takes particular interest in community based renewable energy projects and how these technologies are applied to improve resiliency alongside other adaptation strategies during droughts such as that of the El Niño of 2015-2016. In collaboration with the Humboldt Center, a leading Nicaraguan NGO dedicated to environmental advocacy, this research documents the benefits, deficiencies, and opportunities provided by these technologies in responding to climate vulnerabilities and environmental threats. This study applies participatory action research and mixed methods to analyze socioecological risks and vulnerabilities in Las Mariitas, as well as the Community Based Adaptation practices, socio-economic activities, and supportive civil society networks that work to improve resiliency and adaptation. The study applies an action oriented research framework called "the Approach to Designing Energy Delivery Models for People Living in Poverty", which cumulated in the creation of a community energy project proposal that responds to the energy gaps and opportunities identified through field work and conversations with residents in Las Mariitas. The study concludes that climate and socio-environmental risks, including future El Niño drought patterns, natural resource exploitation, and socio-political crisis as of April 19, 2018, are likely to place strains on community health, wellbeing, and the local environment. Furthermore, residents in Las Mariitas engage in multifaceted approaches and income generating activities to improve overall climate resiliency and adaptation, including development projects, business ventures, migration, and sustainable agriculture, with support from external civil society networks and internal community organizations. Community energy projects contribute positively to community health and wellbeing with high appreciation from the community despite of the costs and deficits that may occur in implementation. The study recommends future inquiry into climate vulnerability indexes and Community Based Adaptation strategies in rural communities in Nicaragua through Participatory Action Research methods. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z

The whole world has moved on but we're still on the same chapter.
It's still Aquino vs Marcos.
It's still yellow vs all non-believers.
Instead of moving forward, we're still being lulled by the romanticism of one shining moment in our history: still basking in the glory of those four glorious days in 1986 when the whole world was focused on us.
While our growth as a nation has been derailed by this time warp, the world has moved on.
Some examples: Germany has moved on and has found it unnecessary to celebrate or attribute its economic rise to the fall of the Berlin wall.
Singapore has evolved into a first world country and never found it necessary to continually hammer home the point that its success can be traced to its dramatic decision to pull out from the Malaysian federation.
In short, they refuse to live in the past.
They know where events in the past belong — in history books.
Sad, but we've got to deal with it…
We can't allow our lives to continue to revolve around events that happened twenty six years ago –- and the years prior to that.
We can't allow our current shortcomings to continue to be blamed on the conflicts among personalities who were around twenty six years ago –- and the years prior to that.
You're talking of more than a quarter of a century. That's an awful long time ago.
We have to move on already.
Or, be content to forever be left behind.
Maybe, what Pinoy showbiz celebrities tirelessly proclaim is actually good advice.
"Past is past… move on na."
