A CENSUS QUESTION THAT COULD
CHANGE HOW POWER IS DIVIDED IN AMERICA
‘Is this person a citizen?’ The answer could mean less representation for populous states and big cities.
A citizenship question on the 2020 census has already drawn challenges from states that fear an undercount of immigrants and a loss of federal funds. But demographers say there could be even deeper consequences. The question could generate the data necessary to redefine how political power is apportioned in America.

Since Trump became the president of the USA, many immigrant issues have become major problems in the country. Now, what may the 2020 census question change in America?

Avoiding Aggressive Driving
The amount of aggressive driving is increasing on our roads. Some of the signs of an aggressive driver include a person who changes lanes abruptly to pass a slower driver, a driver who tailgates in an attempt to get another driver to speed up, and a driver who curses at other drivers. They put themselves and others at risk on the roads. A variety of studies have revealed certain traits common in aggressive drivers. If a person is ever pursued by an aggressive driver, he or she should ask someone in the car to call 911 or drive to a nearby police station. […] Finally, people who engage in aggressive driving behaviors take the chance of injuring or killing themselves and other drivers.

Student on Homesickness
When the homesickness hits, I usually get lazy and tired and just feel like going home and sleeping. I miss the safety of my family and the comfort of home, but most of all I miss my mother and just being able to talk to her whenever I want.
The homesickness usually hits when I feel out of place, or when I hear a song, or see something that reminds me of them. Usually, when I Skype them, it makes me feel worse because I can see them and talk to them, but I can't be with them.

The President is Missing
By Bill Clinton and James Patterson
When Tom Wolfe noted that “the problem with fiction” is that “it has to be plausible,” he may have had efforts
like this one in mind. Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s ambitious and wildly readable new novel, “The
President Is Missing,” arches more closely toward plausibility in its geopolitical subplots — threats against
the Saudi king, malicious Russian meddling in world affairs — than its main story line of a president who
ditches his handlers and goes rogue from the White House, convinced he is the only one who can foil a huge
cyberterror plot.
The book opens with a charged scene in which President Jonathan Duncan is participating in a mock
hearing to prepare for a congressional inquiry investigating the botched attempt to capture a terrorist. When
the president loses his temper, he vindicates the advisers who have cautioned him not to appear before the
actual committee. It’s a satisfying outcome for the former senior staffer in me — but unrealistic, considering
the picture of the president that unfolds on the subsequent pages.

Fort De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, Florida
One of the most dog-friendly beaches in Florida, Fort De Soto State Park not only welcomes pets on the
sand, but also has special Paw Playgrounds for big and small dogs with shade and water stations. Dogs
must be leashed when they enter and exit the beach, but can enjoy the water and sand off leash with their
owners the rest of their visit. In a recently released survey, Fort De Soto was one of Invitation Homes Top 10
Dog Beaches, where factors such as leash laws, whether pets can go in the water, what times of the year
pets are allowed on the beach, and whether there is a pet-only section were evaluated. “For anyone who
lives near the beach or takes their pet on vacation, there is nothing like seeing the joy of your ‘best friend’
frolicking in the sand,” says Marnie Vaughn, vice president of operations in Florida.

Tech users have long questioned whether mobile devices and smart speakers eavesdrop on their private
conversations. Apple answered that question Tuesday with a resounding no.
In a letter to federal lawmakers, the tech giant insisted that iPhones do not listen to what users are saying
and said third-party app developers don't have access to audio data.
"iPhone doesn't listen to consumers except to recognize the clear, unambiguous audio trigger 'Hey Siri,'"
Timothy Powderly, Apple's director of Federal Government Affairs, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by
CNN.
"The customer is not our product, and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of
personally identifiable information to enrich targeted profiles marketed to advertisers," he added.

BRAZIL: JUDGE SHUTS BORDER TO VENEZUELAN
MIGRANTS FLEEING HUNGER AND HARDSHIP
Judge says entry of immigrants suspended until
conditions for ‘humanitarian reception’ are created –
activists called it ‘absurd’
A judge in Brazil has blocked Venezuelans from entering the
border state of Roraima as local authorities harden their stance
against the flood of migrants fleeing hunger and hardship in their
home country.
Judge Helder Barreto said he had suspended the entry of
Venezuelan immigrants until the conditions for a “humanitarian
reception” are created but activists working with migrants
attacked it as “absurd”.
Sister Telma Lage from the non-profit Migration and Human
Rights Institute, which helps vulnerable migrants in Roraima’s
capital Boa Vista, said the judge had overstepped his authority. “[Venezuelans] are entering Brazil and seeking refuge
because of the vulnerable situation they find themselves in,” she
said. “What we fear is the lack of options for those near to the
border.”
Since 2015, more than 56,000 Venezuelans have sought
refuge or residency in Brazil amid continuing political turmoil and
economic collapse in their home country. […]
But the flood of migrants has severely stretched health and
education services in the poor state of Roraima.

Pluto should be reclassified as a planet, experts say
The reason Pluto lost its planet status is not valid, according
to new research from the University of Central Florida in
Orlando. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a
global group of astronomy experts, established a definition of a
planet that required it to "clear" its orbit, or in other words, be the
largest gravitational force in its orbit. […]
Metzger, who is lead author on the study, reviewed scientific
literature from the past 200 years and found only one publication
-- from 1802 -- that used the clearing-orbit requirement to
classify planets, and it was based on since-disproven reasoning.
"It's a sloppy definition," Metzger said of the IAU's definition.
"They didn't say what they meant by clearing their orbit. If you
take that literally, then there are no planets, because no planet
clears its orbit." […]
Metzger said that the definition of a planet should be based
on its intrinsic properties, rather than ones that can change, such
as the dynamics of a planet's orbit. "Dynamics are not constant,
they are constantly changing," Metzger said. "So, they are not
the fundamental description of a body, they are just the
occupation of a body at a current era."
Instead, Metzger recommends classifying a planet based on
if it is large enough that its gravity allows it to become spherical
in shape. "And that's not just an arbitrary definition, Metzger
said. "It turns out this is an important milestone in the evolution
of a planetary body, because apparently when it happens, it
initiates active geology in the body."

Facebook’s new data policy: Answers to your privacy questions
Facebook, the world’s largest social network, revamped the policies it uses when collecting data on the more than 2 billion people who use it every month. As part of the new policy, released April 19, the company is also spelling out more clearly how it collects and uses that information about you.
Where does Facebook get information about me?
It finds this information from a mixture of photos, videos and thoughts you post on your timeline. It also gleans data from your interactions with Facebook friends, as well as the pages and posts you “like.” Plus, the company collects seven different kinds of information it takes from a phone, computer or tablet you’re using. That includes data about the version of software you’re running, how low your battery is and how much storage you have left on your device. On top of that, Facebook can access information about devices that are connected to the same network you’re on.
This kind of info is often used for something industry experts call fingerprinting, which is how websites identify you based on all the data they can collect from your device.
