Military Base Curbs COVID-19 Spread Among Large Population of Trainees: Report
Nonpharmaceutical interventions — which involve practices such as screening, testing, quarantine, isolation and source control — helped limit the transmission of COVID-19 among a large population of military trainees at a U.S. Air Force base, according to a recent report from Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Among 10,579 U.S. Air Force basic military trainees at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, nonpharmaceutical interventions limited the incidence of COVID-19 to only five symptomatic cases. Three of the five cases were contracted by people who had contact with the first patient.
Over seven weeks (March 1-April 18), the base implemented nonpharmaceutical interventions such as:
Early screening of trainees
Rapid isolation of people with suspected COVID-19 cases
Monitored reentry into training for trainees with positive test results after their symptoms ended
COVID-19 is known to spread substantially in close-living quarters, such as a military base. This report offers methods to successfully restrict the spread.

A Look at Mayor 1%'s Past, and What It Might Mean for The Future
As the Chicago Mayoral election draws near, all eyes are on Mayor Rahm Emanuel. In a re-election campaign based largely on Emanuel's sudden democratic change of heart, what does his nationally expected victory mean for the political landscape of Chicago? For the past four years school closures and private business dealings have left students without neighborhood schools, people without jobs, and Emanuel's promise to change things feels empty.
Four years ago, Emanuel won the Chicago mayoral election with 55 percent of the vote in the first round of voting. This February his numbers and luck have run a bit lower. In August of 2014 the Chicago Tribune reported his approval rating at 35 percent. Since then, Emanuel has run his campaign with the promise of improving public finance, education, and business for the city of Chicago. In the past few years, however, Emanuel has done a mediocre job on the issues on which his mayoral campaign was based.
For perspective on Emanuel's time in office, it might pay to look at how he came to be mayor in the first place.
Emanuel resigned in late 2010 from his position as White House Chief of Staff under the Obama administration in order to run for the office of Mayor of Chicago the following year. Then there were reports that he and Obama did not get along which would later be verified by Jodi Kantor's book The Obama's. The book talks about Emanuel and Michelle Obama being pitted against each other from the beginning of their relationship, which, apparently, is not uncommon for a Chief of Staff and a First Lady. In 2009 Emanuel promised Democratic Representative Allen Boyd from Florida that Michelle Obama would be at one of his campaign events, according to the Huffington Post, though Rahm had never told her about the event. After a tumultuous year and Emanuel's resignation, President Obama endorsed Emanuel, saying he would make an "excellent mayor."
One year after Emanuel won the race, he cut 34 jobs from the City's Water Billing Center, boasting that he was saving the city $100,000 in the city's $8.3 billion budget. This cut affected mostly middle class workers on the mostly black South and West sides of Chicago. Those jobs were outsourced to a call center in Japan. This was just the beginning of Emanuel's cuts to jobs, pensions, and public services across the city while he awarded private contracts to companies that supported his campaign, companies owned by some of the wealthiest individuals in Chicago.
That same year, the mayor proposed $11 million in cuts to the already underfunded city libraries. Chicago's aldermen talked Emanuel down to $8 million, which still meant more city job cuts. Then he cut the budget for elementary and secondary education, striking a chord with the Chicago's Teacher Union (CTU) led by Karen Lewis, who would provide some of Emanuel's most fervent opposition in the following years. This brought heavy attention to his campaign, including from the Chicago Reader, which asked the mayor why he didn't fund more public services with some of the $700 million in Tax Increment Funds (TIF's) the city has on hold for public service projects.
The TIF program is funded by property tax dollars from homeowners and businesses, in order to fund public projects intended to create jobs and revenue for the city. Instead the funds are often used for private projects like hotels and stadiums.
In 2012, for the first time in 25 years, the CTU went on strike, prompted by issues like fair pay and job security. For nine days unionized teachers struck unequal education funding by demonstrating on Chicago's streets. As a result the Mayor negotiated a deal with the CTU in a contract that included hiring more than 600 teachers in art, music, and physical education. This brought the portion of teacher evaluations determined by standardized student test scores to the legal minimum of 30 percent and made textbooks available for students on the first day of school. At the time, the contract seemed like a victory for the CTU and CPS both, until 2013 when problems were still looming in public school funding.
In 2013 Emanuel closed 49 under-enrolled public schools on the South and West sides of Chicago, a national record. The Mayor and his staff, including the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, Barbara Byrd-Bennett, brushed off the effects of these closures. When more than 11,000 students were displaced, Byrd-Bennett in an open letter to the Chicago Sun Times claiming only seven of them had been unaccounted for, meaning they had not returned to school. Catalyst Chicago investigated the claim, and after a five-month tug-of-war with Chicago public officials journalist Sarah Karp found that at least 434 students were unaccounted for at the time the letter was written.

In Emanuel's current campaign he has pledged $55 million in TIF funds to build a stadium for DePaul University, a private religious university where undergraduate students pay close to $30,000 in tuition, as well as a Marriott hotel across from the stadium. Aside from the promises of job creation that these two establishments will provide, that's $55 million that taxpayers won't see put back into public programs. It didn't help that Pando Daily wrote about Kenneth Griffin's hedge fund Citadel purchasing large stock in Marriott Corporation just before Emanuel had named it the hotel chain that would get the land near the stadium. Griffin had previously made a six-figure donation to Emanuel's campaign.
Some of the largest donors on Emanuel's funding reports since 2010 include companies like Grosvenor Capital Management, Citadel, Groupon, and United Airlines. This gives the public great reason to be skeptical about his transformation from a mayor who cuts city jobs and public resources to one who pledges to add an addition to a public high school, even a school like Walter Payton High School in the affluent Old Town neighborhood. The pledge also comes after the Chicago Reader reported that Alderman Nick Sposato, began a drive to collect toilet paper for local schools.
Why would Emanuel's offenses against CPS stop there? The Economist recently reported that "Mr. Emanuel often stresses that the gap between the wealthy, mainly white north of the city and the poor, largely black south begins in early childhood." Emanuel made the decision to pay for an expansion of pre-K programs for less-funded schools by borrowing money from wealthy bankers instead of using the allotted budget for CPS. Taxpayers now have the additional burden of paying off the interest on these loans. The plan to provide this education for low-income children bases itself in the reality that the children in these classes will have to outscore other children from the same area. In essence, this means that only half of the children from low-income areas will get pre-K classes with 17 students per teacher, while the other half are stuck in crowded classrooms of around 30 students per teacher.
When President Obama endorses Emanuel in a radio campaign, as he recently did, and brings in Magic Johnson to try and salvage those last few votes, it seems like a desperate attempt to undo the wrongs he has done to middle and lower class Chicagoans over the past four years. Emanuel has been catering to the wealthiest parts of Chicago while leaving residents in the South and West sides of the city without the same resource allocations. Many schools on the South and West sides don't have air conditioners, libraries, or enough teachers, and none of this seems likely to change with another four years of Emanuel. The Mayor's use of his power to trade city grants and favors for campaign contributions is what earned him the nickname Mayor 1%. It is, of course, impossible to predict the future of Chicago's political landscape in the next four years with absolute certainty, but we can make a pretty good guess what it would mean if Rahmbo were re-elected.

Home MARKETING How to Capitalize When Writing for the Web (Grammar Lessons)
How to Capitalize When Writing for the Web (Grammar Lessons)
Julia McCoy May 3, 2020 comments off
You sit down to write an amazing post for your blog.
Everything feels right.
Your creative juices are flowing.
Your mind is forming sentences faster than your fingers can type them.
You feel excitement building.
And then you hit a snag.
It's small, but it slows you down.
Should you write it "internet" or "Internet?"
Is it email or e-mail?
SERPS, SERP's, or SERPs?
You go online to search for the answer. Spend 20 minutes reading grammar rules. When you come back to your blog post, you've lost your vibe.
How can you prevent this from happening?
The best way is to learn the basic capitalization rules for online writing.
You don't want to appear sloppy and ignorant of the basic capitalization rules sophisticated bloggers use.
But you also don't want to seem stuffy and overly traditional.
Keep these four simple capitalization rules beside you each time you sit down to write.
Lesson 1: Don't Capitalize Terms That Have Entered Common Usage
Brand new words are usually capitalized when they're introduced into a language.
For instance, take the word scuba.
In 1952, SCUBA was coined as an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
Later, as the word became common and generic, it was changed to lowercase and became "scuba."
Here are two examples of online words that have been changed to lowercase because of common usage.
Is It "Internet" or "internet"?
When the word "internet" first appeared, it was capitalized.
"In its generic sense, internet is a common noun, a synonym for internetwork; therefore, it has a plural form and is not capitalized. In its specific sense, it is a proper noun, and therefore, without a plural form and traditionally capitalized." – Search Engine Journal, March 18, 2011
According to this Computer Hope, we should capitalize the specific "internet" we're using to distinguish it from other internetworks.
However, as the word became a huge part of language and everyday life, experts began arguing that it should be lower cased.
After serious debate, style guides began adopting the popular trend.
In 2016, the AP Stylebook announced it would no longer recommend capitalizing "internet".
On March 23, 2017, The Chicago Manual of Style followed suit.
So, while "internet" is technically a proper noun and should be capitalized, common usage and the evolution of grammar allows us to write it in lowercase letters.
Is It "Web" or "web"?
The word "web" stands for "World Wide Web."
Like "internet," it was capitalized when it first appeared in the English language.
However, it was changed to lowercase at the same time as "internet."
Lesson 2: How to Spell Words with "E" (Short for Electronic)
Is it E-mail, Email, or email?
Is it E-commerce, Ecommerce, or ecommerce?
According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the correct spelling is "e-mail."
The same goes for e-commerce, e-store, and e-business.
When two words are joined to form a compound word, a hyphen is required.
However, style guides take another view and suggest removing the hyphen because of popular usage.
A huge cheer for @SubvCopyEd's announcement that @ChicagoManual's new 17th edition will close 'e-mail' at #ACES2017. pic.twitter.com/rwE1R5NHch
— Peter Sokolowski (@PeterSokolowski) March 23, 2017
So, should or shouldn't you use a hyphen when you spell words with "e" for electronic?
According to Grammarly, both spellings are correct.
What it boils down to is how you want to appear online.
Do you want to be thought of as a scholarly grammarian? Or do you want to be techie, relevant, and mainstream?
Also, if you've chosen a style guide to follow, make sure you know how it spells these words.
For instance, if you follow the AP Stylebook, you should drop the hyphen in words with "e."
Remember, consistency is key when choosing how to spell words with "e."
If you don't follow a style guide, choose one spelling and stick to it.
Lesson 3: Capitalizing (& Pluralizing) Common Online Terms
As you blog, you'll bump up against common internet language and be unsure about their capitalization.
For instance, is it Keyword or keyword?
Is it SERP or S.E.R.P?
How do you pluralize acronyms?
Is It "Blog" or "blog"?
Words like "keyword," "blog," "website," and "data," are all common nouns.
Use lowercase letters when writing them unless they come at the beginning of a sentence or as part of a proper compound noun.
Is It SEO or S.E.O.?
If you abbreviate the United States of America using periods (U.S.A.), it'll feel natural to use periods when abbreviating terms like search engine optimization.
Don't do that, however.
According to APA style, periods or spaces shouldn't be used in abbreviations unless they're proper names.
So, it's always SERP, SEO, and PDF.
Is It SERP's, SERPS, or SERPs?
Making an acronym plural is tricky. Do you add a capital S to match all the capital letters of the acronym? Or do you use an apostrophe?
Here's the general rule:
Add a lowercase "s" to form the plural of an acronym.
Examples of correct usage:
SERPs
Examples of incorrect usage:
SERP's shows possession
SERPS is just confusing.
However, there's an exception.
To assist readability, you can use an apostrophe in acronyms.
For instance, SOS's is easier to understand than SOSs.
Lesson 4: How to Capitalize Brand Names
You're writing a blog post and want to mention a brand.
How do you capitalize it?
To be honest, visiting its website can be confusing.
For instance, look at this.
The logo uses all lowercase letters, so do you say "semrush" when talking about it in your blog?
As you'll notice, the URL also uses lowercase letters: semrush.com.
The trick is to scroll to the very bottom of the page.
Look for the company's copyright sign.
Next to it, you'll see the correct capitalization of the brand's name.
SEMrush is the right way to do it, not semrush or Semrush.
How to Keep Updated with Online Grammar Rules
Both online and offline, grammar rules are not set in stone.
According to William Strunk Jr. in his book "The Elements of Style":
"…language is perpetually in flux: it is a living stream, shifting, changing, receiving new strength from a thousand tributaries, losing old forms in the backwaters of time."
To make sure you don't commit any grammar gaffes, you can:
Choose a style guide (AP, Chicago, Microsoft) and follow its updates.
Read the blogs of industry experts and note how they spell and capitalize words.
Know (or create) your own style. You can either be traditional or trendy, depending on your audience.
Drawing the line between uneducated and outmoded is not always easy.
However, if you follow these three steps, you'll never again be confused and slowed down when you're writing content for the web.

CHAMP CAR RACING
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also oversees NASCAR Regional Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the Whelen All-American Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 states, Canada, and Mexico. From 1996 to 1998, NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan, and an exhibition race in Australia in 1988.
NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S.
With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the National Football League. Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events in the U.S., and has 75 million fans who purchase over $3 billion in licensed product each year. These fans are considered the most brand-loyal of all of sports and as a result, Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other sport.
NASCAR's headquarters is located in Daytona Beach, Florida, although it also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities: Charlotte, Mooresville, Concord, and Conover. Regional offices are also located in New York City, Los Angeles, Arkansas, and international offices in Mexico City and Toronto, Canada.
Nextel Cup Series
The "NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series" is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is consequently the most popular and most profitable NASCAR series. The 2006 NEXTEL Cup season consisted of 36 races over 10 months, with over $4 million in total prize money at stake at each race. Writers and fans often use "Cup" to refer to the NEXTEL Cup series and the ambiguous use of "NASCAR" as a synonym for the NEXTEL Cup series is common. As of 2007, the defending champion is Jimmie Johnson.
In 2004, NEXTEL took over sponsorship of the premier series from R.J. Reynolds, formally renaming it from the Winston Cup to the NEXTEL Cup Series. A new championship points system, "The Chase for the NEXTEL Cup" was also developed, which reset the point standings with ten races to go, making only drivers in the top ten or within 400 points of the leader eligible to win the championship. In 2007, NASCAR announced it was expanding "The Chase" from ten to twelve drivers, eliminating the 400-point cutoff, and giving a ten-point bonus to the top twelve drivers for each of the races they have won out of the first 26. Wins throughout the season will also be worth five more points than in previous seasons. In 2008, the premier series title name will become the Sprint Cup Series, as part of the merger between NEXTEL and Sprint.
Busch Series
The "NASCAR Busch Series" is the second-highest level of professional competition in NASCAR. The cars look very similar to Nextel Cup cars with only a few differences, such as the weight and length of the car, the size of the rear spoiler, and the power output of the engine. As of 2007, the defending champion is Kevin Harvick.
The Busch Series is currently the only series of the top three to race outside the United States and the only series to have ever held points-paying international events. The season is a few races shorter and the prize money is significantly lower. Over the last several years, a number of NEXTEL Cup drivers have tried to run races in both series, using the Busch race as a warm-up to the Cup event at the same facility. Detractors of this practice have labeled such drivers as "Busch-whackers." The Busch sponsorship is set to expire at the end of 2007 and the series is currently looking for a new title sponsor for 2008 and beyond.
The "NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series" features modified pickup trucks. It is one of the three national divisions of NASCAR, together with the Busch Series and the Nextel Cup. As of 2007, the defending champion is Todd Bodine.
In 1994, NASCAR announced the formation of the NASCAR SuperTruck Series presented by Craftsman. The first series race followed in 1995. In 1996, the series was renamed the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series to emphasize Craftsman's involvement. The series was first considered something of an oddity or a "senior tour" for NASCAR drivers, but eventually grew in popularity and has produced Nextel Cup series drivers who had never raced in the Busch Series.

This Hot Docs hit is an all-access pass into the contemporary art world. Modern art pieces from established names can go for what seems like absurd amounts of money, accessible only to the elite. Assessing the value of a work of art in both cultural and monetary terms is tricky territory that calls into question what we view and accept as art to begin with and how we commodify said value in our capitalist society. Filmmaker Barry Avrich takes you around the globe to auctions, museums, art openings and talks to experts and the artists themselves—including Marina Abramovic and Julian Schnabel—about this unregulated economic system and what it reveals.

Gilbert and Hipkiss sign on for more with Bath Rugby
Bath Rugby are delighted to announce that both flanker Mat Gilbert and centre Dan Hipkiss have extended their contracts with the Club.
Gilbert, Britain's only deaf professional rugby player, arrived in November and made an instant impact. Far from his rugby being hindered by his hearing, he earned himself a place on the field and performed superbly. So well in fact, that Head Coach Gary Gold did not hesitate when the subject of contracts was raised.
Speaking of his extension, Gilbert said: "Coming to Bath has been a revelation for me. I wanted to test myself in the best environment and I feel that is here. I feel proud to have played for Bath and very excited that I will continue to do so."
Hipkiss, a man with all together more experience, has had a frustrating season so far with injuries. But when fully fit, there is no doubt about what he offers to the squad, bringing both quick feet and pace in attack and a steely edge and expert vision in defence.
Having put pen to paper, Hipkiss said: "I am over the moon to have re-signed here at Bath. I love the Club and the environment, and I could now not see myself being anywhere else. I still feel I have a point to prove, and that this is the place to prove it."
Gary Gold, Bath Head Coach, said: "Mat is a special individual. He is unbelievably committed both to the team and to self-improvement. I feel proud to have him at Bath. And Danny is exactly the sort of professional we want around here. His work ethic is relentless and he takes no prisoners in training."
Take your chance to meet the players this Friday at the Rec in the final open training session of the season. Gates open at 9.30, and all ages are welcome!

In fact, honest loggers have a strong interest in curbing timber theft because timber thieves smirch the reputation of the entire timber industry, and most honest loggers support efforts to reduce timber theft.

TIMBER PIRACY is a major problem in Kentucky and across the United States. It occurs in almost every state in the Union. One study out of Virginia Polytechnic University estimated the loss in the Southern Appalachians at four or five million dollars a year. Upon further investigation, there is reason to believe that this estimate is grievously low. For instance, the South Carolina Forestry Department estimates timber theft at ten million dollars a year in South Carolina alone. Single thefts reach seven figures in places. In fact, one estimate puts timber theft in the United States at a billion dollars per year. Considering that auto theft is estimated at around eight billion dollars a year, timber theft is clearly not petty theft - it is a major crime that desperately needs better solutions.
Although periodic efforts have been made to strengthen laws against timber theft in Kentucky, they have not been successful. The Louisville Courier-Journal, in an article a few years back, called timber theft perhaps "the least-prosecuted crime in Kentucky." It is rare to find a law-enforcement officer who will even investigate timber theft, much less take a case to the courts. It is also rare to find a criminal prosecutor that will pursue a case.
That renders timber theft appallingly easy in Kentucky, and recourse almost insurmountably difficult. Fair compensation for victims is even rarer.
- The lack of interest by law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting timber theft. Part of that comes from the almost-universally prevalent attitude that stealing timber is not really stealing. Much of the rest of the reluctance to prosecute comes from a combination of factors. One factor is the extremely tight budgets of local law enforcement agencies and of prosecuting attorneys. A second is the lack of experience and training for law enforcement in the techniques of investigating timber theft - comparing stump configuration to that of timber bought by mills, for instance, or using DNA. Another is the difficulty of prosecuting because the laws are so weak, as touched on elsewhere on this site. Commonwealth's Attorneys in many locations have almost a superhuman workload. They are geared to prosecute the cases they believe they can win, not necessarily the worst offenses.
- The "gate fee" levied on timber theft victims to even break into the system, criminal or civil. If A contracts with B to cut A's timber, and B cuts logs from the land of victim C, it is customarily not A or B who is required to arrange and pay for a survey, but C, the innocent victim and the only person not making money from the logging job. C is also generally required to hire a professional timber consultant to estimate his loss before any legal action will commence. Most victims either cannot afford this entry fee or doubt whether the outcome will justify the outlay. Criminal prosecution are rare (all too many victims being told when they approach law enforcement to go file a civil suit) and civil remedies require not only money for surveys and timber consultants but also for an attorney. Add to those issues the fact that many victims are poor, and the result is that most victims are effectively barred from legal recourse.
- The lack of written contracts containing defined boundaries of areas to be logged. When timber is taken from land outside the boundaries of the contracted job, this lack of written, defined boundaries makes it impossible to determine whether the person who contracted for the logging or the person who does the actual cutting is responsible, and each will generally blame the other. This finger-pointing with no means of determining the facts presents a major hindrance to successful prosecution.
- The general attitude that a victim needs to be compensated only for the stump value of the timber, not what the thief gained from the theft. Since stump value is generally set at one-third to one-fourth of the sawmill price, thieves are willing to take a chance that they can steal and not be caught because getting away with even a few jobs is extremely lucrative. Even if caught, a thief who sold stolen timber for $15,000 but has to pay stump value of $3750 to $5000 has still made a substantial profit. Compensating victims based on stump value instead of the value the thief realized is sometimes justified on the grounds that the thief has expenses in getting the timber cut and to the mill and needs to make a buck for himself. Timber theft appears to be one of the few crimes, or perhaps the only crime, for which the criminal's expenses and profit are routinely deducted when compensation to the victim is calculated. In effect, this approach pays the thief to steal.
- The difficulty of receiving adequate compensation. Many courts, in terms of damage, will look only at the the expenses the victim may incur to restore the land to meet clean water standards set out by Federal Law. This essentially amounts to water bars across steep roads and the cheapest grass that can be sowed on damaged lands. Yet, the victim's cost of true restoration is likely to include major debris removal, scalping off the sawbriars and trash plants that will initially colonize the cut land, recontouring the land to its original shape, replacing topsoil, and replanting at least seedlings, if not mature trees. Those damages and the expenses incurred to remedy them are rarely considered. One judge in a recent case accepted the estimates the victim obtained indicating it would cost $10,000 just to cut to the ground the slash piles, tree tops, and other debris the thief had left (important for protecting the land from subsequent forest fires), but did not consider that the damage done by the thief met the felony criminal mischief standard, which is a mere $1000 in damages. The victim very justifiably felt that if one person had dumped tons of debris on another's lawn that cost ten thousand dollars to remove, the courts would properly count that damage as surpassing the $1000 felony criminal mischief threshold. But, as mentioned earlier, timber theft is regarded differently in the courts. The problems of debris and damage are generally dismissed with the statement that logging is a messy business, as though the victim had agreed to be victimized and should have expected what he got. So, even if the victim wins the case, what he is likely to receive is a fraction of his expenses. This is another factor that discourages victims from acting.
Timber thieves often prey on the elderly, those in ill health, and those who live away from their timber land because they are easy victims. The poor are also often victims because they are poor; a victim who cannot afford to enter the justice system is the easiest victim of all.
Victims of timber theft don't usually understand the laws, the legal system, the obstacles, and the conditions they will be subjected to. To give victims some idea of what they will be facing when they become victims of timber theft, see the Detailed Guide For Timber Theft Victims on this web site.


Cherry Blossom Song Iris has masses of beautiful peach flag-like flowers with purple throats and a orange beard at the ends of the stems in mid spring, which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its sword-like leaves remain grayish green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Cherry Blossom Song Iris is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden, but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.
Cherry Blossom Song Iris will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity extending to 3 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.

The ultimate guide to privacy on Android
Take back control and decide exactly how information is used on your Android phone.
By JR Raphael
Contributing Editor, Computerworld
Jun 3, 2020 3:00 AM PT
On the surface, Android and privacy might not seem like the most natural of bedfellows. Google is known for its advertising business, after all — it's how the company makes the lion's share of its money — and it can be tough to square the notion of data collection with the concept of carefully controlled information.
In actuality, though, Google gives you a good amount of authority over how and when it taps into your Android-associated info. (And even at its worst, the company never shares your data with anyone or sells it to third parties, despite some broad misconceptions to the contrary.) Ultimately, it just comes down to a matter of educating yourself about the possibilities and then determining what balance of privacy and function makes the most sense for you.
Online privacy: Best browsers, settings, and tips
How to protect your privacy in Windows 10
How to stay as private as possible on the Mac
How to stay as private as possible on Apple's iPad and iPhone
How to go incognito in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari
And you'd better believe the onus falls squarely on you to do that. By default, most Google privacy valves are opened up to the max — to the setting that allows the most feature-rich and ad-supporting experience and that uses your data in the most free-flowing manner possible. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it may or may not be what you want, particularly from a professional perspective. And navigating the layers of settings, not only with Google itself but also with the various third-party services that interact with your phone, is often easier said than done.
Well, consider this your guide to the labyrinth. I'll take you through a series of 14 Android privacy adjustments, starting with the easiest and most broadly advisable tweaks and ending with higher-level tactics for the most privacy-minded users. Along the way I'll explain what each setting accomplishes, how long it should take to implement, and how much inconvenience it'll cause.
Make your way through the list and think thoroughly about each item's pros and cons — and before you know it, you'll have a deliberate Android privacy plan that's less about defaults and more about your own preferences.
Section I: Easy Android privacy adjustments that are advisable for anyone
1. Uninstall unused apps
Time required: 2 minutes
Inconvenience level: 0/10
This first Android privacy step is a no-brainer and something everyone should do periodically: Look through all of the installed apps on your phone and remove anything you haven't used in the past month or two (so long as it isn't required by your IT department, of course!). Unused apps not only take a toll on your device's resources; they also have the potential to leave open doors to sensitive info that'd be better off closed.
So open up your app drawer and mull over every icon you see there. If you haven't used an app in a while, press and hold its icon and select "Uninstall" — or, if you don't see that as an option, select "App info" and then find the Uninstall button. On older Android versions, you might have to drag the app toward the top of the screen to access those same options; once you see them appear at the top of your display, drag the app up to that area and then release it.
With apps that came preinstalled on your phone out of the box, you may not always be able to uninstall but can often disable them — with the option to do so appearing either in that same long-press menu or within the aforementioned "App info" screen. That won't get the app off your device entirely but will stop it from running and actively accessing any of your information.
2. Check on apps with access to your Google account
In addition to the phone-specific permissions, apps and services can request access to certain types of data within your Google account — things like your contacts, your Gmail messages, or even your Google Drive storage. Again, such access may be completely warranted and no cause for concern (and it'd be present only if you explicitly authorized it at some point), but once you're no longer actively using the associated app, you don't want to leave that pathway open.
Luckily, it's an especially easy one to close — and another painless privacy step worth performing periodically. Just open up the Google account permissions page and look over everything in the list. For any items you no longer use or don't recognize, click their title and then click the blue Remove Access button that appears alongside 'em.

Clamping down on third-party app access to your Google account is a simple way to secure forgotten pathways and strengthen your privacy.
3. Revisit your Android app permissions
Now that we've taken care of apps you're no longer using, let's think about the ones you are still actively engaging with — because even those may have permissions you once granted but no longer require.
So open up the Apps & Notifications section of your system settings (or the Apps section, if you're using a Samsung phone), tap the word "Advanced," and then tap the line labeled "Permission Manager" (which will be tucked away within the three-dot menu icon in the upper-right corner of the screen on Samsung devices). Then, one by one, tap on each permission type in the list, look over the apps that have access to it, and consider whether each app's access still strikes you as being necessary.
If you see something that seems questionable, tap the name of the app and then change its setting to "Deny." There's a chance the app will stop being able to perform one of its functions as a result, but at worst, it'll prompt you to re-enable the permission at some future moment and you can then reconsider it.
An important footnote to this: If you're using Android 10, pay extra attention to the "Location" section of permissions. As of that release, you can get more nuanced with that permission and allow an app to access to your location all the time or only when the app is actively in use, which gives you a lot more flexibility than the traditional all-or-nothing approach — but, critically, it's up to you to make any changes to apps that were granted an all-the-time location permission before Android 10 arrived on your phone.
As of Android 10, you can take a more granular approach to when and how an app is able to access your location, but it's often up to you to make the change.
4. Clamp down on your lock screen privacy
Time required: 1 minute
By default, Android is typically set to show all of your notification content on your lock screen — and that means if someone else picks up your phone, they might see sensitive info without even having to put in a PIN, pattern, or passcode.
Change that by opening up the Security section of your phone's settings, selecting "Lock screen," and then switching its setting to either "Show sensitive content only when unlocked" or "Don't show notifications at all," depending on your comfort level. (On a Samsung phone, you'll instead open the standalone Lock Screen section of the system settings and then tap "Notifications" to find a similar set of options.)
5. Opt out of Samsung's data-sharing systems and consider avoiding its apps
If you have a Samsung phone, listen up: The company is probably selling your data — not just using it internally and privately but outright selling it to third parties (and without being even remotely up-front about what's going on).
As I reported earlier this year, Samsung's Galaxy phones have a disconcertingly intricate system for collecting different types of data from people who use its devices and then generating extra revenue by selling that data to other companies. And clearly, that's not what you want to have happening.
So at the very least, opt of this obnoxiousness everywhere you can — most importantly within the Privacy Control section of the Samsung Pay app (look for the "Don't sell data" option) and within the "Customization Service" options inside the Samsung Calendar app's settings, the Samsung Internet browser's settings, and the Samsung Contact app's settings — and if you really want to be proactive about your privacy, just ditch Samsung's default apps altogether.
You'll get better all-around experiences by turning to other Android apps for those same purposes, anyhow, and you'll have an easier time syncing or moving your data to non-Samsung devices now and in the future. And, y'know, you won't be subjecting yourself to sneaky selling of your personal and/or company information with no discernible benefit to you.
Section II: Moderately advanced Android privacy modifications some people may want to perform
6. Turn off Google's ad personalization system
Google makes its money by showing ads around the internet — that's no secret. And it uses data about you to select ads that are, in theory, catered to your interests and more likely to be relevant to you. It never shares your data with advertisers, as mentioned at the top of this story, and all of the matching happens within Google and in a completely automated, machine-driven sense.
At the end of the day, you're bound to see some of those ads no matter what you do — so there's an argument that having the ads be catered to your interests at least creates the potential for them to be appealing as opposed to just random. But if you'd rather not have your data used for that purpose, you can turn the personalization system off.
Just go back into the Google section of your system settings, tap the Manage Your Google Account button, and then tap the Data & Personalization tab. Scroll down to the Ad Personalization box and tap the "Go to ad settings" link, then turn off the toggle on the screen that comes up and confirm you want to make the change.
Google lets you opt out of its ad personalization system entirely, if you're so inclined.
There's just one more thing to check: See that profile picture in the upper-right corner of that same screen? Tap it and see what other accounts you have connected to your device. Each Google account has its own separate settings, so you'll have to go through 'em one by one to make sure the ad personalization option is disabled everywhere.
7. Start using a VPN
If you're using a company-connected phone, there's a decent chance your employer is already providing you with a corporate VPN (virtual private network). But if not, it's probably worth your while to set one up on your own.
A VPN, in short, keeps all the data you send and receive on your phone encrypted, private, and secure. Without it, someone could snoop on your connection and intercept sensitive info without your knowledge. (It's an especially common problem when public Wi-Fi networks are involved.)
The Google Fi wireless service has its own built-in always-on VPN option, which is free, secure, and simple as can be to use. If you're using any other carrier, you'll need to turn to a third-party provider to get that same functionality. NordVPN and TunnelBear are two favorably reviewed, reputable options; NordVPN costs $12 a month if you pay as you go or $7 a month if you pay for a full year of service up front, while TunnelBear runs $10 a month as you go or $5 a month with a full-year payment.
Both are minimal hassle once set up on your phone and shouldn't change much about the way you work, but they do require that ongoing payment — hence the inconvenience level score. And both are more advisable to use than most free or dirt-cheap VPN options you'll encounter, as those frequently mishandle data and stick you with unreasonably low usage limits in order to make up for their low costs.
8. Add extra encryption onto especially sensitive files
Give sensitive files on your phone an extra layer of encryption with Solid Explorer, which costs $3 after a two-week trial. The app lets you encrypt any file so it can be accessed only after your personal password or biometric authentication has been applied. That does mean you'll have to unlock the file every time you want to view or share it, which can be mildly annoying — but depending on what type of material you have on your device, it might be worth it for the added peace of mind.
Solid Explorer lets you add an extra layer of encryption onto especially sensitive files.
9. Rethink your browser setup
Google's Chrome Android browser has all sorts of impressive features, but many of them inherently require some manner of privacy tradeoff in order to work. For instance, you can easily find any page you visited on any device with a super-fast search — but in order for that to happen, Google has to maintain a cross-device record of every site you visit.
Only you can decide whether the conveniences outweigh the privacy tradeoffs, but if you want to make your Android web browsing as private as possible, Mozilla's new Firefox Android app is a great way to do it. (The current version of the app is still under development, so the beta version is the one you'll want for now.) The app has a single-toggle option to let you automatically delete your entire browsing history every time you end a session, and it includes a variety of "enhanced tracking protection" features that make it incredibly easy to block scripts, cookies, and other forms of tracking around the web.
The Firefox Android app offers a host of options for blocking tracking systems and increasing your mobile browsing privacy.
If you'd rather stick with Chrome, there are some things you can do to crank up its privacy protection. Start in the Sync and Google Services section of the app's settings, where you can scale down or even completely disable how different forms of your browsing data are shared with Google. Just remember that the more you disable, the more sacrifices you'll make in terms of convenience — particularly when moving from your phone to your computer and maintaining a common collection of settings and history.
You can disable lots of Chrome features that'll increase your privacy — though at the cost of convenience and cross-device consistency.
Other places to look include the app's Payment Methods section, where you can tell it not to save or store any of your payment information; the Privacy section, where you can prevent sites from seeing if you have payment info saved and also opt out of having Chrome preload pages for faster browsing; the Site Settings section, where you can prevent all sites from creating or interacting with cookies; and the Lite Mode section, where you can turn off the Android-specific data saver function that routes your browsing traffic through Google's servers in order to compress pages and make them more efficient to load.

10. Disable Android's location history feature
By default, Google keeps track of everywhere you go with your Android phone in tow. That allows the software to proactively give you traffic and commute alerts for places you commonly visit and also allows Google Assistant to make better suggestions based on your behavior — but it also, of course, gives Google quite the docket of data on your day-to-day whereabouts. (Again, the company doesn't actually share that info with anyone but does use it to determine what ads are shown to you in certain places.)
If you want to turn off the system-level location tracking, open the Google section of your system settings and tap the Manage Your Google Account button at the top of the screen. Next, tap the Data & Personalization tab and select "Location History" within the Activity Controls box.
Switch off the toggle on the screen that appears next — and that's it: Your phone won't keep track of your treks anymore.
Turning off the Location History toggle will stop Google from keeping track of your location at the system level.
Here, too, settings are controlled on an account-by-account basis, so you'll want to tap the profile picture in the upper-right corner of the screen and be sure to make the same change for any other accounts associated with your phone.
And finally, if you want to delete the system-level location data that's already been collected, the easiest way is to open the Maps app on your phone, tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner, and select Your Timeline — then tap the three-dot menu icon in the upper-right corner, select the Settings and Privacy section, and select either "Delete all Location History" (to erase everything) or "Automatically delete Location History" (to delete your info on a rolling three- or 18-month cycle).
Section III: High-level Android privacy enhancements that won't be for everyone
11. Ditch Gmail or Outlook for a more privacy-conscious email setup
If you're really serious about privacy, ProtonMail is the inbox you want to use. ProtonMail applies end-to-end encryption to every message you send, which makes sure no one other than its intended recipient can ever set eyes on it. It's a whole other level of protection from what you get with Gmail's encryption or the encryption provided by most third-party mail servers.
The downside is that you have to either use a special ProtonMail.com address with the service or set up your own domain to work with ProtonMail's servers — and anytime you're emailing someone who isn't a fellow ProtonMail user, you'll have to encrypt your message with a password and a hint that they'll then need in order to open it. That isn't exactly easy, and it requires you to forfeit a fair amount of Gmail's flexibility and power, but it does give you an awful lot of added privacy in return.
ProtonMail is free at its most basic level, which includes one address, 500MB of storage, and up to 150 messages a day. If you need more storage or more messages per day or want any extra features — such as email filters, an auto-responder system, and support for custom domains — you'll have to subscribe to a paid plan, which starts at $48 a year.
12. Encrypt your calls and messages
For full encryption on the calling and messaging front, Signal is the service you want. It adds end-to-end encryption only when you're communicating with other Signal users, however — which severely limits its usefulness — and it doesn't allow you to send and receive text messages from your computer, as most regular messaging apps now do.
Signal is free to use.
13. Disable your Google Web & App Activity
By default, Google keeps track of what you do on the web and within its apps, whenever you're signed into your account (as you generally are while using an Android device). It uses that info to serve up those targeted ads we keep coming back to, of course, but it also uses it to power personalization, results, and recommendations in places like Search, Maps, and Assistant. Without it enabled, in fact, some of Assistant's most useful commands won't work — on your phone or on any other Assistant-connected devices.
If you want to disable it, though, you can: Just open the Google section of your system settings, tap the Manage Your Google Account button, and select the Data & Personalization tab. Find and tap the "Web & App Activity" button and then turn its toggle into the off position.
If you want to delete the data that's already been collected, meanwhile, tap the "Manage Activity" link on that same screen. That'll let you choose to delete everything Google has stored on you or to delete your info manually on a rolling three- or 18-month cycle.
In addition to turning off Google's Web Activity setting entirely, you can set the system to delete your data on a rolling three- or 18-month cycle.
14. Disable your device backups
Last but not least, Android has the ability to back up your system data and then restore much of your system setup when the need arises. That's a supremely handy option to have — but it invariably requires some of your information to be stored within Google Drive in order to work.
Specifically, Google maintains a record of what apps you have installed along with a limited amount of app setting data. It also stores your call history, phone settings, and in some cases your SMS messages for future use.
Disabling Android's automatic backups will make your life significantly more difficult the next time you move to a new phone or reset your current phone, as everything from your previous setup will essentially be lost (or will need to be moved over manually, which is a pretty massive hassle). If you'd rather reclaim the privacy required by this feature, however, you can turn the feature off by opening up the System section of your phone's settings, tapping the Backup option, and flipping the toggle next to "Back up to Google Drive" into the off position. (On Samsung phones, the option is located within the Accounts and Backup section of the settings, under "Backup and restore" and then "Back up my data.")
As with any of these areas, only you can weigh out the added privacy against the lost convenience and figure out what arrangement makes the most sense for you. But now you know where to look — and you can make your own educated decisions.

SFA Music Preparatory Division offers summer lessons and camps
Sylvia Bierschenk
NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - Private music lessons, adult dance and piano classes, Kindermusik camps for newborns through 7-year-olds, a musical theater camp for second through fifth graders and "Glee Camp" for sixth through 12th graders are all part of the summer program offered by the Music Preparatory Division at Stephen F. Austin State University.
The FlexLessons offered by the division enable students to sign up for either four, six or eight private lessons in piano, voice, guitar, flute, harp, percussion, Suzuki and traditional violin, viola, cello, bass, and other instruments as requested, explained Pat Barnett, division director. "We recognize that families' summer schedules are full, so we offer a variety of flexible options between June 6 and Aug. 13."
Adults wishing to improve their piano playing can register for Dr. Ping-Ting Lan's seven-session adult intermediate piano class that will meet from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on the following Mondays: June 6, 13, 20 and 27; July 11; Aug. 1 and 8.

Bill to allow raw milk will not move forward
By Tony Leys;
tleys@dmreg.com;
Raw-milk enthusiasts shouldn't plan to purchase the beverage legally in Iowa anytime soon.
A Schleswig legislator who is the idea's main backer at the Statehouse acknowledged Tuesday that it won't go anywhere this year.
Iowa is one of 14 states that ban all sales of unpasteurized milk. Rep. Jason Schultz, sponsor of a bill that would lift the ban, said he will not seek a committee vote on it this session. The Republican legislator said there isn't enough support for the bill to pass.
His conclusion came a day after public-health experts told other lawmakers about the risks of allowing sales of unpasteurized milk or milk products, such as cheese. The officials testified that unpasteurized milk is more than 150 times more likely than pasteurized milk to carry dangerous bacteria, such as E. coli and listeria. They said such bacteria can taint milk from cows that appear healthy, and the germs can spread from people who consume raw dairy products to people who don't.
Monday's witnesses included a California mother who recounted how her 7-year-old son almost died from E. coli bacteria he contracted from raw milk.
Schultz, who declined to attend Monday's hearing, said Tuesday that he appreciates the critics' views, but he believes the risk is exaggerated and he wants to see the ban lifted.
"It's something I think educated adults should have the right to buy or not buy," he said. "To me, this is a freedom and liberty issue."
He said he is not a regular drinker of raw milk, but he and his family have tried it. Schultz added that he would not favor limiting consumption to only adults.
Schultz, who also has introduced such bills in past years, could use his position as chairman of the House's Local Government Committee to seek a vote on the measure. But he said he would not do so this year, because there is not enough support.
Jeneane Moody, executive director of the Iowa Public Health Association, applauded the news that House Study Bill 131 would die in committee. However, she said, her group will continue to talk about the dangers of raw milk. "We still have a need to educate Iowans about this," she said.

Bright Eyes: Down In The Weeds Where The World Once Was
Dead Oceans
Released August 21st
At the beginning of the year, news broke of new material from Bright Eyes. Their first album since 2011's "The Peoples Key," flickers of activity of previously dormant social media accounts caused ripples of excitement.
Of course, the individual members of Bright Eyes had been far from inactive in the interim. Mike Mogis has collected an impressive array of production credits. Nathaniel Walcott has created arrangement for records by and toured with acts as diverse as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Mavis Staples. The omnipresent Conor Oberst has done plenty to keep in the public eye. (Giving his incendiary punk band Desaparecidos a timely reboot in 2015 with the album Payola, crafting three thoughtful and introspective solo albums, and forming the much acclaimed Better Oblivion Community Centre with Phoebe Bridgers.)
This impressive collective body of work , along with the nine year absence, is perhaps what left the majority presuming the Bright Eyes moniker had been put to bed completely in favour of other projects. In spite of the interim projects, seeing the name return feels like something the music world needs.
Often seen as just a stage name for Oberst, Bright Eyes is very much a combination of the three and it seems that on this record they are more determined to establish it than ever. Given the extent of their back catalogue – varied, intelligent, swaying from minimal to expansive and leaving no lyrical stone unturned in almost uniquely verbose fashion – this is a comeback worth being excited about. Returning freshly signed to Dead Oceans amongst a period of upheaval both in the world and in the bands personal lives, the band see the return to the name as both "an escape from, and confrontation of, trying times."
A comeback, yes, a reunion, no – any absence has been purely unofficial – and one which felt apt for a world which had endured much in recent years, sparking a strange optimism for the start of a new decade.
And yet catastrophe cares little for calendars, and that optimism has for obvious reasons proved ill-fated for us all. If anything, this leaves us needing a new Bright Eyes album even more – a consistent metaphorical hand-holder and voice of the world, before the first note even plays there is a sense of Down In The Weeds Where The World Once Was from the title alone that captures a kind of apocalyptic vision.
But weeds are also just wildflowers , and its hard to shake the idea that we might get some positivity shining through. After all, its what Bright Eyes have, to me at least, always done best. Political anger has called on faith in people for change. The wide-eyed sadness their name became synonymous with has always had doors open for hope. And this does, after all, appear to be very much a Bright Eyes record, the combination of the three of them clearly distinct from Oberst's other projects.
The spoken word intros which have become a key part of their albums manifests as Pageturners Rag, snippets of conversation overlapping with ragtime melody. The voices are Oberst's mother and ex-wife, the setting "Pageturners", the Omaha bar Oberst co-owns. The theme here is very much one of coming home, which seems to make sense with the familiarity of a Bright Eyes comeback.
For me personally, there are two things that make Bright Eyes special, and those things are so hugely evident across this record that I can safely say it lives up to all lofty expectations. The first one is an ability to shift chameleon-like in style from album to album in a way which gives each record a very different feel and sense of place, showing a refreshing lack of complacency with one style, whilst still remaining hugely distinct and instantly recognisable. Down In The Weeds… feels new, but stirring strings, signature off-key deliveries and perfectly pitched production is reassuring territory.
The other thing, and it's the reason people feel such affinity with much of their music, is the lyrical ability to be personal while still being open to interpretation enough that people can bend it to their personal situations.
From fragile mental health (a painfully straightforward description of an underfed and despairing protagonist and references to Seroquel on singles Persona Non Grata and Forced Convalescence respectively) to bereavement (Stairwell Song and Tilt-A-Whirl both act see Oberst affectingly lament his late brother Matthew), these are the things that might be taken from a very personal perspective but are also things that most listeners will have experienced. Once again, they are acting as music's most reliable mirrors.
There's a lot of philosophy embedded in throughout Down In The Weeds, one that seeks to look inwards as much as it does to the wider world. The eternal metaphor of the Mariana Trench is looked into, Nietzsche is contemplated ("I read God is dead/I shed some tears for him/but I swear on his grave I'll never do it again," sings Oberst on the stirring, absorbing "Dance and Sing,"), sanskrit language comes into play.
Bright Eyes have often viewed the world with a kind of wonder, in locations from neon-lit New York to the self-discovery of Spiritualist camps, but here they take a more analytic take on the simple environment of home.
It is a mature world, too – rent is due, soup is made, chores are carried out. Their name once a shorthand for youthful angst, Bright Eyes have grown up with their fanbase, with former adolescent prodigy Oberst having turned forty earlier this year.
From a purely personal perspective, listening aged thirty-three and having spent the past few months teetering into the abyss of a relapse of my own history (alongside the realities of grown-up life), it feels as relatable as melancholy symbolism of "Fevers And Mirrors" did to me twenty years ago and first discovering Bright Eyes. But as personal as that sounds, it will be largely universal, in slightly altered ways.
There was much speculation about which Bright Eyes album Down In The Weeds…would sound like, and instinctively I would the orchestral arrangements and hints of studio noise, and particularly the lo-fi pull of the clattering spoken ending make me say it has the feel of a sequel to 2002's "Lifted…"
But this is very much a new, 2020-appropriate, Bright Eyes record, setting the personal nuances amongst something huge and apocalyptic-starting at home, ending with a comet – in an almost prophetic manner. There is always a moment of trepidation upon hearing new material from anybody after a hiatus, and Down In The Weeds… quickly erases that uncertainty. It veers from the vulnerable to the expansive, is swirling, stirring, reflective and absorbing. In other words, it is Very Much A Bright Eyes Record. And we can not ask for more than that.
Down In The Weeds Where The World Once Was is released on Dead Oceans on August 21st. Find details on their website here
