Thank you all for being here today to tell the federal administration that we will not

stand back while they strip women of their basic health care rights. women and our right

to make decisions about our bodies our families and our health care are under attack. title

10 is the nation's program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care

the program is available to help ensure that every person regardless of where they live

their income their background or whether or not they are insured has access to basic preventive

reproductive health care such as birth control cancer screenings STD testing and treatment.

this national program as was mentioned serves 4000000 people each year and California serves

25 percent of title 10 patients nationwide.

This administration's decision is a dangerous departure for the successful title 10 program

that provides affordable birth control for war more than 1000000 Californians.

Title 10 also provides access to free or low sexually transmitted disease testing. we want

California to be number one but not in STDs. California has seen a 45 percent increase

in STDs over the past 5 years setting record highs in each of the last 3. this new rule

would be taking away affordable healthcare rights when we need it the most. These programs

help women and families access cancer screenings preventative care family planning services

including birth control and many other health care services.

But lately the trump pence administration has tried to make it harder.

Not easier.

For a woman to access the care that she needs.

This war on women continues with new attacks now on the title 10 programs that are so vital

to so many families in our country and attacks on the doctors who provide the care. In California

for title 10 what we're talking about is 1000000 low income women that this is their only

path for birth control for cancer screenings for sexually transmitted disease testing this

is their path to basic health care and somehow that is threatening people in DC. We will not

allow women's health care to be used as political chum for red state elections. Women are not

bait.

In the previous video, you learned how to insert

a map title.

In this video, you will learn how to insert a map legend.

A map legend, sometimes called a map key, helps to explain the symbology on the map.

Not all maps need a map legend, as some simple features such as water bodies and roads may

be self-explanatory.

However, maps that contain thematic data, such as this earthquake map, will need a map

legend.

From the main menu, select Insert, then Legend.

The Legend Wizard appears.

By default, ArcMap will try to add all your layers to the map legend.

In this instance, you only need the earthquake data.

Click the button that has the double arrow pointing left to remove all of the layers.

Then, under Map Layers, select the earthquake layer and click the button with a single arrow

pointing right.

When you are ready, click Next.

Never use the word "Legend," or a similar word, as a legend title.

Your map readers already know that they are looking at a legend.

Using this word is redundant, and it will also make you look unprofessional.

When choosing a legend title, utilize a descriptive title or leave it out altogether.

In this instance, a descriptive title would be useful for explaining the meaning of the

different sized circles.

Change the title to "Earthquake Magnitude."

Change the font to Garamond to match the style of the map title.

When you are ready, click Next.

Add a 1.0 point border, a gray 10% background, and a gray 50% drop shadow.

Change the gap to 5.

When you are ready, click Next.

The next window on the legend does not apply to our data.

Go ahead and click Next.

The last window on the Legend Wizard also allows you to change the space between the

legend title and the legend items.

In most cases, the default settings here work fine.

When you are ready, click Finish.

Your legend will appear near the center of the map.

As a general rule, anything placed near the top of the map will rise in the visual hierarchy.

Secondary map elements, such as north arrows, scale bars, and legends should be placed somewhere

in the lower half of the map if possible.

In this instance, you may consider placing the legend in the Pacific Ocean, just to the

right of the inset map.

The legend still needs a little more work.

The magnitude values have too many decimal places, and you should remove the layer name.

Right-click on the legend and select Properties.

On the Legend Properties window, navigate to the Items tab.

On the lower left, click the button that says Style.

There are many different legend styles from which to choose.

However, the second style down on the left will work to remove the layer name from the

legend.

When you are ready, click OK, Then click OK again.

The legend style updates, but the legend labels still have too many decimal places.

To correct this issue, you will have to open the layer properties for the earthquake data

in the Table of Contents under the California Earthquakes data frame.

Then, navigate to the Symbology tab.

Near the center of the Symbology tab, right-click on the word Label and select Format Label.

When the Number Format window opens, enter 1 for the number of decimal places.

When you are ready, click OK, then click OK again.

You may need to adjust the size of the legend labels.

Return to the Items tab on the Legend Properties and change the font size to 12.

Take a moment to save your map document before moving on to the next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to insert a north arrow, a scale bar, and acknowledgments.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 9 - Duration: 3:30.

In the previous video, you learned how to create an inset map.

In this video, you will learn how to insert a map title.

There are many conventional elements recognized by the map-reader.

However, in this activity, you will only need to add a few to the map.

In the next few steps, you will add a map title, a north arrow, a scale bar, and a legend.

As a matter of courtesy, you will also add an acknowledgment to Natural Earth, the Northern

California Earthquake Data Center (NCEDC), and the United States Census Bureau.

When you have multiple data frames on a map, you need to add map elements to each one independently.

Right-click on the data frame titled California Earthquakes and select Activate.

The main map should now have a dotted outline.

The dotted outline indicates which data frame is active.

In a previous activity, you learned how to add toolbars to ArcMap.

Right-click on the empty gray area and select Draw to add the Draw toolbar.

When you first open the toolbar, it may appear floating above the map.

You may dock the toolbar on top to keep it out of the way.

On the Draw toolbar, select the tool the looks like a letter A. Then, click somewhere near

the top of the map to add a map title.

Enter the title, "California Earthquakes, 2017."

When done, press the Enter key.

Double-click the title to edit.

The Properties window appears.

Here, you can edit the text if needed.

Click the button that says Change Symbol.

On the Symbol Selector window, change the typeface to Garamond.

Change the font size to 100.

Click OK when you are ready.

Then, click OK again.

You may need to move the title and adjust its position on the map.

By default, the text does not have a background.

The lack of a background can make the text harder to read when there are map features

underneath.

Sometimes it is helpful to add a title bar across the top.

On the Draw toolbar, select the rectangle tool.

Then click and drag to draw a rectangle across the top of the map.

Any new feature you draw gets placed on top.

Right-click on the title bar and select Order, then Send Backward.

The title bar gets set under the map title.

Just like the text, the title bar also has properties you can edit.

Right-click on the title bar and select Properties.

Change the fill color to dark navy and the outline color to no color.

On the size and position tab, change the width to 24 and the height to 1.75.

Change the X value to 0.

Change the Y value to 16.25.

When you are ready, click OK.

Go back and change the color of the title text to a 10% light gray, so that it will

contrast with the color of the title background.

You may also need to reposition the title.

The size and position tab is an accurate way to do this.

Take a moment to save your map document before moving on to the next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to insert a map legend.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 2 - Duration: 4:00.

In the previous video, you learned how to set

up your workspace and download data from the Natural Earth website.

In this video, you will learn how to download data from the Northern California Earthquake

Data Center.

UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory created the Northern California Earthquake Data Center.

Using the Chrome browser, navigate to the Northern California Earthquake Data Center

website.

A link is provided in the written instructions.

The catalog has quite a few search settings which at first may seem confusing.

In this activity, we will not cover all of the details related to the settings.

To find out more about how to use this website and to learn about the options available,

you can click the help link to read the additional documentation.

For the input catalog, choose USGS NCSN Catalog 1967 – Present.

For the output format, pick NCSN catalog in CSV format.

Enter the following parameters: Start Time 2017/01/01

End Time 2017/12/31 Min Magnitude 3.0

Min Latitude 32 Min Longitude -114

Max Latitude 47 Max Longitude -130

Event Types Earthquakes Leave all other Earthquake Parameter settings

not mentioned here as default.

Under Output Mechanism, select Send output to an anonymous FTP file on the NCEDC.

When you are ready, click Submit request.

In the Chrome browser, the results will load in a new tab.

Click the link next to URL under "output can be downloaded from:."

The next page will display the data in CSV format.

CSV stands for comma separated values.

As you can see on the page, each of the values is separated by a comma.

You will need to save the results to your Original folder.

In the Chrome browser hit Ctrl S to save.

Browse to your Original folder.

For the filename, enter "earthquake2017.csv".

Next to Save as type, choose All files.

When you are ready, click Save.

When opened in Microsoft Excel, the CSV file appears as a table.

The commas in the data create columns, also called fields, in excel.

A row, also called a record, represents each earthquake.

In this instance, the top row is different from the remaining records.

It is made up of column headers, sometimes called field names.

When working with geospatial data, this format is critical.

The first row of any geospatial data table must contain the field names.

You will learn more about these types of tables in a later chapter.

Go ahead and close the CSV file in Microsoft Excel.

In a later step, you will use the CSV file in ArcMap, and it is important not to have

it opened in two places at once.

In a previous activity, you learned how to download data from the United States Census

Bureau.

A link is provided in the written instructions.

Click the link under the header Nation-based Files that says County.

On the Counties page, right-click the link to download the 500K resolution.

Select, Save Link As, then browse to your Original folder and click Save.

Decompress the file using 7zip.

In the next video, you will learn how to add California as a basemap layer.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 5 - Duration: 3:00.

In the previous video, you learned how to add

XY data.

In this video, you will learn how to change the map projection of the data frame.

The Earth is spherical, yet maps still managed to represent the Earth using a flat plane.

Map projections make this possible.

A map projection is the geometric transformation of the round earth onto a flat plane using

mathematical equations.

In a later chapter, you will learn more about map projections.

What you need to understand now is that there are many different map projections.

The one you choose will change the shape and appearance of features on the map.

In this step, you will change the map projection for the data frame to make the State of California

appear closer to its actual size and shape on Earth.

In ArcMap, zoom out until you see the entire continental United States.

This view will help you to understand the difference in appearance between projections.

Open the data frame properties.

If you will recall from a previous activity, in the Table of Contents, the word Layers

appears above the four map layers.

The name consistently leads to confusion.

This item on the Table of Contents is not a layer.

It represents the data frame.

Access the properties for the data frame by right-clicking on the word Layers in the Table

of Contents.

Select, Properties from the contextual menu.

When the Data Frame Properties window opens, click the General tab.

Change the name of the data frame to something more descriptive, such as "California Earthquakes."

Click Apply.

You may get a warning.

ArcMap is telling you that the data frame coordinate system does not match some of the

layers in the Table of Contents.

Since we are only using it for display purposes, this is fine.

Check the box that says, Don't warn me again in this session, and click Yes to close the

warning.

Select the Coordinate System tab.

Scroll down until you see the Projected Coordinate Systems folder.

Expand the folder, then, expand the Continental subfolder.

Locate the North America subfolder.

Within the North America folder, select North America Lambert Conformal Conic.

Then, click OK.

You should notice an immediate change to the size and shape of the United States.

The Lambert Conformal Conic projection works well to make the U.S. appear closer to the

way it does on Earth.

Zoom back into your earthquake layer and save your map document before moving on to the

next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to represent earthquake magnitude using graduated symbols.

In new ad, John Chiang says Democratic rivals have turned California governor's race into a 'scam' - Duration: 1:25.

Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (Costa Mesa) told a group of California Realtors this month that it should be OK for homeowners to refuse to sell their homes to gays and lesbians, prompting the National Association of Realtors to withdraw its endorsement

"Every homeowner should be able to make a decision not to sell their home to someone (if) they don't agree with their lifestyle," the congressman said, according to the Orange County Register

Rohrabacher, who is prone to off-the-wall statements and positions, told the paper in an interview, "We've drawn a line on racism, but I don't think we should extend that line

… A homeowner should not be required to be in business with someone they think is doing something that is immoral

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 6 - Duration: 3:21.

In the previous video, you learned how to change the map projection of the data frame.

In this video, you will learn how to represent earthquake magnitude using graduated symbols.

At this point, your map displays the location of earthquake epicenters in California.

You can also provide additional information to your map reader by also showing the relative

magnitude of the earthquakes.

As you learned in a previous activity, one of the most powerful features of GIS software

is the connection between a database and the map.

Each shapefile comes with a database table.

In ArcMap, you refer to the database table as an attribute table.

In the Table of Contents, right-click on the earthquake layer and open the attribute table.

The first time you open the attribute table, it will appear floating above the map.

Click and drag your attribute table towards the bottom of ArcMap.

As you drag, position your cursor over the blue arrow that appears near the bottom.

When you place your cursor over the blue arrow, the attribute table will snap to the bottom

of ArcMap.

Take a moment to read through the attribute table.

Some of the information, such as the date and time, will be easy to interpret.

For other attributes, you may need to go back to the Northern California Earthquake Data

Center website to learn more.

In this step, you only need to understand the Magnitude attribute.

If you will notice the field named Magnitude records a series of numbers.

These numbers will determine the size of the point symbols on the map.

In the Table of Contents, right-click on the earthquake layer and select Properties.

Navigate to the Symbology tab.

On the left, choose Quantities, then Graduated symbols.

Near the middle, use the drop-down menu to select Magnitude for the Value.

Leave all other settings as default and click OK.

The earthquake data is now symbolized using different sized circles based on the magnitude

value in the attribute table.

Go ahead and close the attribute table.

You may also change the colors for the remaining layers as well.

For this activity, I recommend choosing either a light color scheme or a dark color scheme

for the basemap.

Either one should have colors with low saturation, low value, or both.

For example, a light color scheme might use light greys and pastels for the basemap features.

A dark color scheme might use medium to dark greys instead.

Your goal is to provide context without competing with your thematic data.

You will work from the bottom up, starting with the states and provinces layer.

It will lay the foundation for the remainder of the map design.

On the Table of Contents, click the colored rectangle under the states and provinces layer.

When symbol selector opens, choose a something neutral for the Fill Color.

Set the Outline Color and adjust the line weight.

Repeat these steps for the remaining layers, one at a time.

In the next video, you will learn how to change the map size and position.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 3 - Duration: 3:34.

In the previous video, you learned how to download data from the Northern California

Earthquake Data Center.

In this video, you will learn how to add California as a basemap layer.

In ArcMap, open a blank map document.

The easiest way to add data is to use the catalog window.

You'll typically see the catalog window pinned to the right side of the screen.

If you don't see it, just click the button with the yellow file cabinet icon.

When you first open the catalog window, you may not see the project folder right away.

If you don't see it, you can add it using the connect to folder button.

In this step, it is essential that you select your primary workspace folder to add it to

the Catalog Window.

When ready, click OK.

Once you add your workspace folder to the Catalog Window, expand the folder by clicking

on the plus sign.

You should see your three subfolders inside.

Expand the original folder to view the contents.

Add the states and provinces layer to the map.

Zoom to the State of California and surrounding areas.

On the Tools toolbar, click the Select Features tool.

The icon looks like a white arrow over a blue and white square.

Then click on California.

When you have a feature selected in ArcMap, you have the option to export it as a new

shapefile.

With California selected, right-click on the states and provinces layer in the Table of

Contents.

Then Select, Data, then Export Data.

When the Export Data window opens, click the yellow file folder icon and browse to your

Working folder.

Next to Save as type, choose Shapefile.

Name the file "California" and click Save, then click OK.

When ArcMap asks if you want to add the exported data as a map layer, click Yes.

The California layer gets added to the Table of Contents.

On the map, California remains selected.

Clear the selection by clicking on the Clear Selected Features button.

Your map document now has two layers, one representing the State of California and one

that currently displays the surrounding States and Mexico.

Add the shapefile that contains the county boundaries to the map.

You may get a Geographic Coordinate System Warning.

Check the box that says, Don't warn me again in this session, and click Close.

Use the direct selection tool to select Humboldt County.

The California Layer may also get selected.

Don't worry about it.

When you export, it only applies to the layer on which you right-click.

With Humboldt County selected, export the data as a new shapefile and save it to your

Working folder.

Call the new shapefile "Humboldt_County."

Add the Humboldt County shapefile to the map.

When done, remove the layer that contains all the county boundaries for the United States.

You should end up with three layers in your Table of Contents, one for Humboldt County,

one for California, and one for the United States and Mexico.

Set your map document properties to store relative paths.

Then save the map document to your project folder.

Call the map document "California Earthquakes."

In the next video, you will learn how to add XY data.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 7 - Duration: 3:44.

In the previous video, you learned how to represent earthquake magnitude using graduated

symbols.

In this video, you will learn how to change the map size and position.

When you first begin to design a map layout, you should always determine the size of the

page on which you will be working.

In this activity, you are making a poster-sized map of California earthquakes in 2017.

The poster size will be 24 inches by 18 inches.

You will include a main map of California and an inset map of Humboldt County.

By default, ArcMap sets the page size to 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

This setting is rarely acceptable, both professionally and in courses taught at Humboldt State University.

In this step, you will change the page size.

Then, you will change the data frame size and position on the page.

From the main menu, select View, then Layout view.

The data frame window immediately changes to show the page size and the data frame position

on the page.

Across the top and along the left you will see a ruler indicating the height and width

of the page.

Currently, the page size is 8.5 inches by 11 inches, which is the default setting in

ArcMap.

The Layout toolbar may also appear floating above the map.

You may dock the toolbar on top.

It is important to understand each of the tools in the Layout toolbar.

These tools are only active when ArcMap is in Layout View.

On the left of the toolbar, you'll see a couple of tools for zooming in and out of

the map layout.

The icon looks like a magnifying glass over a page.

These tools are sometimes confused with the Zoom In and Zoom Out tool you previously worked

with.

They work in a similar fashion.

Instead of zooming in and out of the data, the zoom tools on the Layout toolbar zoom

in and out of the page layout.

Likewise, the pan tool on the layout toolbar will pan across the page layout and will not

move the data.

Next to the Pan tool is the Zoom to Whole Page tool.

This tool is handy for quickly viewing the entire page layout.

Take a moment to experiment with each of these tools before moving on to the next step.

Next, you will change the page size.

From the main menu, select File, then Page and Print Setup.

Uncheck the box next to Use Printer Paper Settings.

For the Width, enter 24.

For the Height, enter 18.

When you are ready, click OK.

The page is now a large poster size of 24 inches by 18 inches.

You can tell because the ruler along the top and the sides have changed to show the new

dimensions.

However, the data frame is still the default size.

To change the data frame size, open the data frame properties and navigate to the Size

and Position tab.

Change the width and the height values so that they match the page size.

Under Position, change the X and the Y to 0.

Navigate to the Frame tab.

Change the Border to a thickness of 4.0 and change the border color to dark navy.

Change the background color to light cyan.

When you are ready, click OK.

On the Table of Contents, right-click on your earthquake layer and select Zoom to Layer.

You should now have a poster size map of the earthquakes in California.

In the next video, you will learn how to create an inset map.

For more infomation >> Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 7 - Duration: 3:44.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 8 - Duration: 2:04.

In the previous video, you learned how to change the map size and position.

In this video, you will learn how to create an inset map.

An inset map shows more detail for a specific region within the main map.

In this step, you will generate an inset map that shows more detail for the area around

Humboldt County.

In a previous activity, you learned how to create multiple data frames.

Create a second data frame for the inset map.

If you recall, you select Insert from the main menu, then Data Frame.

A new blank data frame appears in the Table of Contents.

On the map, the new data frame appears near the center.

Hold down the shift key and select each layer in the California Earthquakes data frame.

Right-click and choose Copy.

Then, right-click on the new data frame and select Paste Layer(s).

A copy of the layers appears in the new data frame.

Change the name of the new data frame to "Humboldt County Inset."

Change the coordinate system to North America Lambert Conformal Conic.

Change size and position properties so that the width is set to 10 inches and the height

to 7 inches.

Anchor the new data frame to the lower left corner.

Set the background color to blue and give it the same border as the main map.

Zoom in close to Humboldt County.

Be sure you can see all of the earthquakes off the coast.

On the main map, move California to the right so that there is more space between the main

map and the inset.

It will give you room later when you want to place a scale bar.

Take a moment to save your map document before moving on to the next step.

In the next video, you will learn how to insert a map title.

Will Legalization Increase Marijuana DUI Arrests in California? - Duration: 4:33.

Hi.

My name is Louis Goodman.

I'm a criminal defense attorney in Alameda County, California.

I'd like to talk to you a little bit about driving under the influence of marijuana and

the problems that come to the prosecutor in terms of proving one of these cases.

Despite all the hand-wringing about driving under the influence of marijuana in this brave

new world legalized pot, I don't think much is going to change in terms of the way these

cases are handled by the police or law enforcement.

As a long-time criminal defense attorney and as a former prosecutor who's handled thousands

of DUI cases, I note that there's a really substantial difference between driving under

the influence of marijuana cases and driving under the influence of alcohol cases.

Marijuana simply does not affect one's ability to drive as seriously as alcohol negatively

affects one's ability to drive.

Most DUI alcohol cases are found because the police noticed some really bad driving.

Most DUI marijuana cases are found out because the police make a stop for some other minor

infraction and therefore they then smell marijuana at a routine traffic stop.

So, despite legalization, incidents of marijuana arrests will not significantly increase.

I mean, let's not kid ourselves, people have not in the past been much deterred by the

fact that marijuana was illegal.

And due to legalized marijuana in the medical world, there's been a glut of good, high-quality

THC-laden pot available to virtually anyone who wants it.

Therefore, legalization is unlikely to affect the number of people who are smoking marijuana,

the quality of the marijuana that's being smoked, or the number of people who choose

to drive while under the influence of marijuana.

For a prosecutor to actually win a DUI case, she must prove to a jury that the substance

that the person is using actually has a substantial negative effect on the driving, that it significantly

impairs someone's ability to drive.

Now, in the alcohol DUI world, we have the .08 blood-alcohol level that has been established

through years of scientific research.

All the prosecutor really needs to do is prove that the blood alcohol level was .08 or higher:

criminal conviction.

There is no such standard that has been established for marijuana.

So, therefore, the case in the marijuana situation needs to be proved by circumstantial evidence.

In other words, the circumstances surrounding the driving: was there bad driving, was there

an accident, was there a lot of marijuana smoke, was there a lot of marijuana?

And this is a much harder standard for the prosecution to prove.

It's not that the… that's an impossible standard, but given that… it's… far more

difficult than simply proving a .08.

The prosecutor has an uphill battle and add to that, the generally friendly-to-marijuana-use

Bay Area juries.

And it's not hard to see why prosecutor will have some problems in proving a DUI marijuana

case beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury.

The reality is that legalization, in my view, will only cause a marginal increase in marijuana

use, a minor increase in driving under the influence of marijuana, and very little change

in terms of police enforcement or prosecutorial attitudes towards DUI marijuana cases.

So, if you or someone you know has any sort of a legal problem involving a marijuana violation

including DUI marijuana, please give me a call.

Mapping Earthquakes in Northern California Part 1 - Duration: 2:14.

The goal of this activity is for students to learn how to create a basic map layout.

In this activity, you will create and organize a project folder using a standardized folder

structure.

You will then download and decompress the data from public sources.

Using the data, you will create a map of earthquake magnitude in the State of California, with

an emphasis on Northern California.

As you learned in a previous tutorial, the first step when starting a project is to create

a basic folder structure.

Typically, this will be placed on your local hard drive.

On a personal computer, this would be the C drive.

If you are in one of the labs at Humboldt State University, then it will most likely

be the D drive.

In this example, I am using the downloads folder on my local C drive.

I'll start by creating the top-level folder, which should indicate the project.

Within this folder, I will create three subfolders, original, working, and final.

Natural Earth is a website created to provide free vector and raster data to meet the needs

of cartographers using a variety of software applications.

The data on this website is free to use without restrictions.

Navigate to the Natural Earth website.

A link is provided in the written instructions.

Click the Downloads link.

Under Large-scale data, click the Cultural link.

Right-click Download states and provinces.

Select, Save Link As, then navigate to your original folder and save.

In Microsoft Windows, navigate to your original folder and decompress the file using the 7zip

software.

Be sure to delete the zip files when you are done decompressing them.

You won't need them anymore.

Eliminating them saves space and helps to avoid confusion later.

In the next video, you will learn how to download data from the Northern California Earthquake

Data Center.
