Uptown Ankeny Farmers' Market has announced it will reopen July 11after months of delaysdue to the COVID-19 pandemic.

But that doesn't mean everything is back to normal quite yet: Due to safety measures, the weekly Saturday gathering will be limited in size.

"We have restricted our vendors to just be produce and farm products at this time," said Alexa Middleton, marketing director for Uptown Ankeny. "We just wanted to make sure we could get the market, and make sure you guys had access to fresh produce without overcrowding, and still keeping the social distancing aspect in place."

Also, the market will only operate from 9 a.m.-noon, and people will be counted as they enter and exit by staff to ensure smaller crowds.

Staff and vendors will be required to wear masks, and customers will be encouraged to wear them, too. Guidelines also call for keeping attendance to one person per family andfollowing posted instructions to maintainsocial distancing. In addition, there will be two hand-washing stations, vendors will make hand sanitizer available andthe organizers are asking customersnot to bring reusable bags.

Middleton said people should expect the market to look "a little different this year," with fewer family attractions than usual.

"We won't get to have the delicious food that's eaten on-site, we won't be having our kids' activities either," Middleton said. "But we're just so thankful that we do get to have a market, and we get to have a place for our community to come together."

Uptown Ankeny Association, which puts on the farmers' market, originally said it hoped to resume the event in June after canceling its planned opening May 16.

The market is sponsored by the city of Ankeny and UnityPoint Health Clinic, and typically extends through the end of September. People planning to attendshould watch the Ankeny Farmers' Market websitefor more updates, the organization wrote in a Facebook post.

Some other cities will not be holding in-personfarmers' markets this year, including Des Moines, usually site of the largest weekly market in Iowa. This month, the organizers of the Des Moines Farmers' Market introducedanonline platformthat lets would-be marketgoersorder products online for pickup or delivery.

Uptown Ankeny Farmers' Market will kick off July 11 with public health restrictions - Des Moines Register

(CNN / WINK News)

Scammers continue to capitalize on coronavirus misinformation by offering fake antibody tests, the FBI warned, which could be used to steal personal information.

The FBI said this month that fraudsters are touting fake or unproven antibody tests and marketing them to people to steal Social Security numbers or health insurance information.

Antibody tests are used to determine whether someone was infected with COVID-19 in the past and has since developed antibodies, which protect the body from becoming infected with COVID-19 again.

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved some antibody tests, and theyve all been previously tested by the National Institutes of Healths National Cancer Institute or another government agency. But its not easy to make that distinction when youre being offered an antibody test over the phone.

MORE: Test for past infection (antibody test)

The FBI said being offered a test at all is one sign youre being scammed. Labs test patients who request them, and if marketers offer free tests or dangle incentives for getting one, thats a red flag.

Other warnings include targeted ads on social media, email or unsolicited phone calls if youre being offered a test without expressing interest through your doctor, say no, the FBI said.

And if youve received individual calls, texts or emails from unknown people telling you that the government requires you to take an antibody test, thats not true either. Antibody tests are voluntary.

Dr. Luis Aponte of Fort Myers explains, The sensitivity and specificity of tests that are not FDA approved can be misleading, can lead to misdiagnosis and eventual medical treatment and complications from not being treated appropriately.

Before you agree to any antibody tests, the FBI recommends you talk with your doctor they should know the tests that are FDA-approved and considered accurate. The FBI also suggests using well-known labs approved by your health insurance and never sharing personal information with anyone besides your health care provider.

This is just the latest in a months-long string of coronavirus scams. Since the pandemic began in March, fraudsters have called and texted people saying theyve been infected with coronavirus and lead them to a link to submit personal information. Scammers also call people and tell them they must provide a hospital with personal and financial information over the phone because someone they know is sick with coronavirus.

The coronavirus antibody tests arent always reliable as it is, because its not clear when coronavirus antibodies develop in the body or whether every coronavirus patient will develop antibodies at all. But tests could become an important indicator of the viruss spread when scientists answer some lingering questions.

Even FDA-approved coronavirus antibody tests may be inaccurate up to 50% of the time. In May, the CDC warned healthcare providers that coronavirus antibodies are expected to be low in most of the country, so testing could create more false-positive results (meaning that the test results indicate theyve been infected when they havent), and they shouldnt be used by policymakers to decide when to reopen spaces like offices and dorms.

The FBI warns the public to be aware of the following potential indicators of fraudulent activity:

The FBI recommends:

If you believe you have been the victim of a COVID-19 fraud, immediately report it to National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at (866) 720-5721 orjustice.gov/disastercomplaintform, or the FBI (ic3.gov,tips.fbi.gov, or 1-800-CALL-FBI).

Beware of fake coronavirus antibody tests, the FBI warns - Wink News

Apple recently fixed a bug in iOS 14, which it will release this fall, that allows apps to secretly access the clipboard on Apple devices. The new OS will warn users when an app reads the last item copied to the clipboard. However, several apps have already been caught invading peoples privacy, including TikTok, according to security researchers Talal Haj Bakry and Tommy Mysk.

Advertisement - Article continues below

Chinas Bytedance, owner of TikTok, stated the problem is tied to an outdated advertising SDK. However, according to the clipboard warning in iOS 14 beta, TikTok is continuing to abuse users privacy. A company spokesperson said it was triggered by a feature designed to identify repetitive, spammy behavior. TikTok submitted an updated version of the app without the anti-spam feature to the App Store.

The TikTok spokesperson added: The clipboard access issues showed up due to third-party SDKs, in our case an older version Google Ads SDK, so we do not get access to the information through this. We are in the processes of updating so that the third-party SDK will no longer have access.

Changes to Apples iOS 14 security and privacy settings helped to identify TikTok and other apps secretly accessing the clipboard. The vulnerability meant anything copied on a users Mac or iPad could be read by active apps on their iPhone, including passwords, work documents, personal emails and financial documents. Apples iOS fix will force TikTok and other companies to update their apps.

Apple initially ignored the clipboard vulnerability, eventually publishing a fix following media coverage of the security findings. According to Bakry and Mysk, Apple dismissed the risks that we highlighted and explained that iOS already had mechanisms to counter all of the risks. But the mechanisms that Apple provided were not effective to protect user privacy.

iPhone users should update their TikTok app when the newest version is released.

TikTok caught secretly spying on millions of iPhone users - IT PRO

VICTOR, N.Y., June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company, announced today its commitment to a multi-initiative social justice action plan aimed to achieve greater equity for African American/Black colleagues at Constellation, within the beverage alcohol industry, and within the communities they operate in.

The conditions that have allowed systemic racism to persist in the U.S. have existed far too long, said Bill Newlands, president and chief executive officer at Constellation Brands. We categorically denounce bigotry, racism, and social injustice. They are clearly inconsistent with our company values and our commitment to embracing diversity and creating an inclusive environment where all employees feel safe, respected, and valued. We stand in solidarity with the Black community and we are committed to achieving meaningful and lasting change.

Constellation Brands Ventures (CBV), the companys corporate venture capital group, will invest $100 million in African American/Black and minority-owned businesses in the beverage alcohol space and adjacent categories by 2030 through a new program, Focus on Minority Founders. Data has shown that the venture capital ecosystem is starkly homogeneous. In a study of U.S. venture activity from 2013 through 2017, just 1% of VC-backed entrepreneurs were Black(1). These businesses serve as the fabric of their respective communities and we must make it more equitable for them to access the capital needed to have a fighting chance at success, said Newlands. In a little over a year, CBVs Focus on Female Founders initiative has shifted our Ventures portfolio mix from 20% female-owned to 50% female-owned. This reinforces there is a real need for these programs, and they can drive measurable improvement in minority representation for our industry. In addition to funding, the Focus on Minority Founders initiative will support the growth and development of Black and minority-owned businesses by providing sales, marketing, operations, and finance expertise through the CBV team and Constellations many subject matter experts.

In support of societal reform, Constellation is entering a multi-year partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI). The partnership will include a contribution of $1 million to further EJI's mission and provide training opportunities for Constellation leadership. Founded by Bryan Stevenson in 1989, EJI is committed to challenging racial and economic injustice, advocating for equal treatment in the criminal justice system, and protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable in American society.

Also part of its action plan, Constellation is taking steps internally and within its extended network of business partners to create greater equity for African American/Black colleagues. The company is reviewing recruitment, hiring, and talent development practices to ensure African American/Black talent is supported and unconscious bias is addressed at all levels. The company is also evaluating brand engagements and advertising policies to ensure media partners, brand sponsorships, and other activations are aligned to brand and company values. For example, true to its brand ethos of supporting and empowering all women, Kim Crawford has partnered with Black Girl Ventures, a non-profit providing greater access to funding and resources for Black and Brown female entrepreneurs and a stronger pathway for women of color to launch and grow their own business.
