5 fish clipart 2,124 officials deployed at 12 counting centresDrew Lock matched his career high of four touchdown passes and also rushed for a score and the New York Giants snapped their franchise-record 10-game losing streak with an entertaining 45-33 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. Malik Nabers had seven receptions for a career-best 171 yards and two touchdowns to exceed 100 receptions and 1,000 yards during his strong rookie campaign. New York (3-13) registered a season best for points scored by more than tripling its league-worst season average of 14.3 per game. The setback eliminated the Colts (7-9) from the AFC playoff race. Lock completed 17 of 23 passes for 309 yards and Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Stayton also had receiving scores for the Giants, who won at home for the first time this season. Ihmir Smith-Marsette returned a kickoff for a touchdown. Joe Flacco started for Indianapolis with Anthony Richardson (back/foot) sidelined and completed 26 of 38 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns. But he also was intercepted twice and lost a fumble. Jonathan Taylor rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries, Michael Pittman Jr. had nine receptions for 109 yards and one touchdown and Alec Pierce caught six passes for 122 yards and a score. Indianapolis pulled within 35-33 on Flacco's 7-yard touchdown pass to Pittman with 6:38 remaining. The Giants answered with Lock's 5-yard scramble with 2:57 left to push the lead to nine. After Flacco was picked off by Dru Phillips, Graham Gano tacked on a 30-yard field goal 37 seconds later to put it away. New York held an eight-point halftime lead before Smith-Marsette fielded the opening kickoff of the second half and returned it 100 yards for a touchdown to give the Giants a 28-13 advantage. The Colts answered with Taylor's 26-yard run to move within eight with 11:03 left in the third quarter. Flacco threw a 13-yard touchdown catch to Pierce with 10:53 remaining in the game to move Indianapolis within two. A trick play on the two-point conversion failed. New York increased its lead to nine just more than two minutes later when Nabers caught a short pass at midfield and easily shed two tacklers before sprinting down the right sideline for a 59-yard score. Lock tossed three first-half touchdown passes as the Giants led 21-13 at the break. Nabers caught a short pass in the right flat and raced 31 yards for a score to give New York a 7-3 lead with 1:05 left in the opening quarter. He finished the day with 104 receptions for 1,140 yards. Lock tossed touchdown passes of 32 yards to Slayton and 5 yards to Robinson while increasing the lead to 21-6. Taylor scored on a 3-yard run with 20 seconds remaining. --Field Level Media

If you are reusing a box, make sure it is in good shape. If it’s flimsy, toss it in the recycle bin. Don’t overpack. If something is in a box and poking the sides, you need a bigger box. If an item rattles, you didn’t cushion it well enough. Wrap items separately, no matter what the item is. That beloved pet portrait should be separate from the frame. Use packing materials. Bubble wrap, newspaper, packing peanuts, air packs, crinkled butcher paper and shredded paper work nicely. Consider saving these items throughout the year and reusing for holiday mailing. For heavy items, use thick cardboard as protection inside boxes. Allow at least a 2-inch space around items for cushioning materials. Consider putting wrapped items in plastic bags to protect against moisture, especially if the box might sit outside on a snowy or rainy day. And if you are shipping clothes with something delicate, use the clothing as protection. If you mail via USPS boxes, make sure your item will fit into the mailbox slot. They should weigh no more than 10 ounces and be a half-inch thick or less. For box restrictions, go online. If your item is breakable, write “fragile.” But no cute doodles. Keep it clean so postal workers can read it quickly. Non-lithium batteries should be left in original packaging. Do not put them in toys, clocks or other items before mailing. In transit, a device could turn on and raise security concerns. Batteries should be sent separately. Or mail a gift card for a store that sells batteries. Consider media mail. Positive: It’s cheaper. Negative: Restrictions exist. It’s limited to books, video and sound recordings, manuscripts, play scripts, printed music, some films, loose-leaf pages and binders with medical information and more. Advertising, video games and comic books are among restricted items. Media mail takes two to eight days. Two-inch-wide tape is best. Do not use masking, cellophane or duct tape. Tape side seams first, then across the top. Reinforcing bottom flaps is a good idea. If a box has tape, make sure its adhesive sticks. Never use brown paper as a mailing wrapper. Labels can be torn, and paper can rip. Do not use string, rope, cord or twine. It’s impractical and can muck up machinery. Consider Click-N-Ship to pay for and print postage at home. You leave the package for your carrier and don’t have to leave the house. Note: 70-pound box limits. Free priority boxes — if it fits, it ships — incur flat-rate postage. Or you can fill, wrap, measure and weigh your box, then enter specifications online. Required postage amount will be given. LABELING TIPS Carefully remove old labels. Mark out notations, names, codes or addresses. Write neatly in block letters or print labels with clean fonts, nothing fancy. Do not write “to” and “from” all over the box. Use one side only. Put addressee’s name and address inside the package. If you print a mailing label, print two — one for outside, one for inside. Be an editor. Did you leave off a ZIP code, return address, apartment number? Know ZIP codes. Look them up. If you know the +4 code, use it. USPS says no ZIP is better than a wrong one. If you use self-serve USPS kiosks, make extra sure the address is correct. A clerk will look, but at the kiosk it’s on you. Get local news delivered to your inbox!Artificial intelligence taking over?
