How can I use the Crime Data Explorer to find annual numbers?

How do I use the F B I's Crime Data Explorer to find, for instance, the number of murders in a police agencies jurisdiction just annually? I feel like I must be missing something, here, because they give you annual ranges, but they group all the data by month so that you don't just have a graph showing the annual counts. I know they don't want users to compare data, and one way to do it would be to make the tool convoluted to use. But I want to believe they are better than that. lol Can someone help me out?

Example of how I currently see the numbers, which shows data by month:

Request for map of Quebec by language

Does the province of Quebec of Canda have an interactive map showing the predominant (language spoken at home or mother tongue) language spoken in Quebec by municipality? I think I've seen some older static maps, and Statistics Canada appears to have a very rough map, but with intervals that aren't great. But is there any interactive map with with a language "layer" that can be toggled?

Discussion on Statins and HDL

What is the mechanism by which statins are supposed to raise HDL? I've searched online for the answer, and don't have a clear picture. Do they raise raw HDL or the % of HDL because of how they lower LDL?

Early 40's, normal BMI, don't smoke or drink or drug and never have, and have recently be prescribed a low dose (10mg) statin, but I'm debating how much it will help or if it outweighs the the long-term negative effects I've heard about them. My LDL bounces up and down, sometimes above normal sometimes normal. Triglycerides have been elevated the past few years, but have been on their way down. However, my HDL has been consistently below normal since at least 2018 in every test.

I'm questioning the use of statins, because I've now been reading that many doctors are placing less of a focus on the number by itself than they used to. But it would also seem that statins are primarily prescribed for high LDL, so I'm just genuinely confused about what I should be most concerned about in a lipid panel as it relates to cardiovascular health, and what I should be less concerned about.

Where is the sidebar?

Where is the sidebar on the maps? I can sometimes bring it up, but have no idea how. There is no longer a tab on the left side of the map to expand or shrink it.

Turning off 2FA when logging in

How do I turn off being asked for a passcode when I log in? I don't have Two-factor authentication enabled or anything. I know you can just click pass it to use your password instead, but is there a way to skip this prompt altogether? As you know, you are automatically sent a passcode, anyway, and that clutters up email boxes.

Categorized symbology question for you all

I'm trying to make election maps with a categorized symbology, where 5% increments up to 100% symbolize a color.

https://preview.redd.it/ceitwwxtonih1.png?width=1067&format=png&auto=webp&s=b4d63b90f801dae557ce9da5961c7ce43f8d5e85

What I've generally done is found a color scale and then meticulously entered hex codes for each box. This has been quite tedious, as you can imagine. Is there a way to simply import a particular color pallete and set it to divide into 5% increments?

I've got about a dozen different styles I've saved, but I find that they often turn out too light and want to make darker ones, but don't want to go through the hassle that I've been through previously.

I've used site like Coolors, before, to individually copy the hex codes.

Islands at the mouth of the Maumee

At the mouth of the Maumee is an island labeled "Grassy Island" on Google Maps, and then another larger artificial island/peninsula directly to the east that is not given a name.

https://preview.redd.it/8dstg1cxyvfh1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=605edf870df4dd53d0a7e89dab5c5b0475dcd8d1

Which municipality do these belong to? I ask, because the Census Bureau TIGER maps show them being part of Washington Township in Lucas County. But Lucas County's own GIS maps don't attribute them to any municipality, which can't be correct. No map shows them belonging to Toledo or Oregon or Harbor View. I imagine they must be part of Washington Township, then, but the township website doesn't mention them and I don't believe they have a community map.

Thanks!

Edit: The issue is that some maps show the water boundaries and some don't. Google shows them within Washington Township; the Wikipedia article map doesn't.

Google

Wikipedia

The Ohio GIS maps also show discrepencies with the "Municipal Boundaries" showing 'Facility 3' actually being part of the Oregon with the implication that Grassy Island is in Washington Twp being unshaded. Yet the "Township Boundaries" map shows both islands to be in a township they call "Urban-Toledo", which obviously doesn't exist.

Municipal

Township

So consider me genuinely confused. Every piece of territory—created or extant—has to be in some jurisdiction, regardless of who owns it. I have no idea why this is not clear.

Question about Interstate 22

The wikipedia article on I-22 history section doesn't read very clearly to me. Is there anywhere that describes the timeline each section was upgraded to interstate standards? The article for US-78, which preceeded it, doesn't really describe when this happened, either. There seems to be a lot of attention paid to the development in Alabama, but very little about when it was built through Mississippi.

Disabling autocomplete in Yahoo Search in Firefox Browser?

I have "Yahoo Toolbar and New Tab" add-on activated, because I like the way it renders Yahoo Search results. It allows me to bypass the search bar on their home website, so I simply type my initial search result into Firefox's address bar, and then use their search bar from there.

Anyway, I also have Firefox to delete everything when I close out of a session and do not have any settings set to suggest searches in the address bar. However, I notice that once I use the Yahoo Search bar after my initial search in Firefox's address bar that I'm still getting search suggestions/autocomplete for searches from previous sessions that I've close out of.

How is this possible? How is Yahoo's Search bar remembering things I've typed in many sessions ago that my browser is supposed to have cleared? Is there a way to disable any of this through about:config? I've been unable to find an answer to this. I've tried going to Yahoo's settings at the bottom of the search page to clear out everything. That doesn't appear to change this behavior. I am not logged in to a Yahoo account, so it has nothing to do with that. I'm genuinely confused.

Need help with a Yahoo Search autofill/suggest search issue

I am using the Firefox browser and Yahoo Search as my default search engine. I have my Privacy and Security settings in the browser set to "Clear cookies and site data every time you close Firefox".

I've noticed that when I begin typing something into the search field, I'm getting suggested search terms from previous Firefox sessions, even though I have everything set to clear after I close out of a session. Why is this happening, and is there a way to stop it from happening? The whole point of setting my settings to clear data after I exist Firefox is for this not to be happening. These are not searches I'm doing even logged into my Yahoo account; these are just cold searches.

It's strange, too, because it's suggesting searches I've done in previous sessions where I've spelled words incorrectly. I do not wanting it suggesting those to me. Help.

Question about the administrative history of Sindh

Okay, so in its early colonial history Sindh (then Sind) was a Division of the Bombay Presidency until 1937 when Bombay Presidency became Bombacy Province of British India. It appears at this time, Sindh was upgrade to a Province.

My question is whether Sind Province had any Divisions from its creation in 1937 to when it was downgraded back to a Division in 1955, or if it just had districts? I've never been able to find a definitive answer to this question.

My guess is that Sind Division and Sind Province were coterminous, and that the Provincial government probably carried out the functions of the Division administration, but that is just my guess, and I've never seen this formally explained in old records.

Thanks!

Question about local government in Peru

I had a question concerning your system and levels of local governance in Peru. There appears to be regions/departments, provinces, and districts. I understand that each of the districts is a municipality with a local government. I am a bit confused by the provincial level, however. There appears to be territories called "provincial municipalities", but what I've been unable to definitively find is whether these territories correspond to the province as a whole (and thus includes the district municipalities in that province), or if its is a special district municipality which contains the seat of the province and has extra responsibilities across the other regular district municipalities?

Also, a related question, but are all the district municipalities completely divided into "centros poblados" or are those special case municipalities? That is to ask, does centros poblados cover the whole territory of Peru in the same way that the regions, provinces and districts do?

Gracias!

A question about the mechanics of joining locally

I've been seriously considering joining my local chapter, but their website is quite outdated. So I got in contact with it via social media, but was still confused about the actual mechanics of joining a local chapter versus joining nationally. They have a link to join on the website, but it takes me to a national access point to join that way, but I'm interested only in paying dues and being considered part of the local chapter. But they'd informed me that they don't have an online point to join from, or even to directly donate to them. They told me I could donate by writing them a check. Seriously.

It's a small chapter, but not a tiny one. Not only is the website not regularly updated - I think the last post is from 2021? - but the social media accounts are quite sparse too. If I'm being honest, it was a bit off-putting.

Can someone explain the mechanics of joining, and how the money gets to the local chapter?

Also, it's not been clear to me if the municipal districts are local governments with elected councils/heads, or if they are just statistical divisions used by the Mayoralty to administer services. Can someone describe how all of these things work?

Scrolling an album on a public account without a login prompt question.

I've over the years scrolled public Facebook account photo galleries/albums, sometimes randomly for fun or interests, sometimes for research. Some years ago, they kind of tightened access to even public accounts up for either those without the app or at least not logged into it, so that after you'd scrolled (on a computer, not a phone), you'd get hit with a prompt to sign-up or sign-in.

There have been a few occasions recently, though, where I've been able to keep scrolling through an entire photo gallery on a public account on my computer without being prompted to login. But I can't figure out what does and doesn't trigger the prompt.

Does anyone have any idea what the trigger is for the login prompt?

Location question

I was recently reading up on the "Incidente de Varginha" in 1996, and was trying to place the wall the girls claimed they say the creature on on Google maps. There are two locations listed, but neither of them would seem to be the exact spot? Is there a way to find out where this wall was?

There is a location given along R. Dr. Benevenuto Braz Viêira, but it sounds like they were cutting through a then-vacant plot of land. What the location of the sighting have been on the other side of the existing wall not visible from the street? Or was this sighting somewhere else entirely?

Then there is a site given as being at R. Suencia & R. Jose Afonso de Campos that I'd never seen talked about in article before. Was this a location of one of the other sightings?

Can someone on a map make sense of the exact location? Thanks!

Question about a Rotterdam Delta Work

The Botlek was an old part of the Maas which was between Spijkenisse to the south and Rozenburg to the north. It's my understand that as a test for later Delta Works that the damming off of silting-up Brielse Maas was done from 1949 to 1950, and included a dam through the Botlek on the west end. Then, a few years later to make room for more harbors, the Botlekdam was rebuilt to the west where it currently stands as a structure that now carries the Rijksweg 15 (A/N15):

However, I've been unable to find the route of the first dam completed in 1950, even using old maps. Did the dam follow any of the current roads in the Botlek like Torontostraat or Quebecstraat? I imagine some of the dam was retained as a base to build land for the new ports off of.

I am not sure why I'm randomly thinking about this this many years later, but is the only reason Zion exist so that 'the anomaly' in the system reboots the Matrix when they inevitably end up 'corrupting' it? Is it really that simple?

I think what the Architect describes is that because the system is dealing with humans, it inevitably leads to an anomaly, and that this anomaly would inevitably crash the whole system. And that by the third (?) time, it introduces choice to at least delay the crash, and then manipulated the anomaly to introduce the option of reboot instead of a crash. It then mentions that the reboot involves the the anomaly picking a small group of humans to be saved to repopulate Zion. So, I guess it's really as simple as Zion needing to exist, because a reboot switch needs to exist?

Also, I'm actually kind of confused by what the crash resulted in. Does this mean that all of the physically in the Matrix infrastructe would be ejected and die? But that wouldn't make sense, because the machines would have 'died' after the first crash, as they need the human's energy to survive/replicate.

Help me out here. I feel like I'm missing some key things.
