Kven tho naval station nt Malzuru Is nffected hy tho unrest. Tho riots nre siireading like; wild¬ fire, nnd the mobs are using dynnmlte nnd setting fires. So serious Is the situntlon that the newspapers are for¬ bidden to publish nnythlng about the disorders. In Tokyo the police nro using swords freely. In outlying districts the people nttacked the police with bamboo spears. Not only are the poor resorting to violence, but the ndddle classes feel Impelled to thus protest against con¬ ditions.

The seriousness of the situation led to a special meeting of the cabinet, which decided to appropriate $.'i,0<X),- 000 to purchase rice for distribution at a moderate i>rlce.

First of all, attention was given to the selection of a teaching force for the coming torm. Iiy tho ond of June most ot the rai.'mhers of the!

With tbe American Anni In France. —The Germans launelied a coiiililiied ga.s, nrtlllery nnd air bombing attack upon the French and Americans along the Vesle early Friday morning. Thia was In retaliation for a bombing raid by American airmen upon bridges over the Alsne late T lursday. The German artillery continued shelling the crossroads south of the Vesle for hours, on the assumption that the French and Americans were bringing, up troops. German aviators bombed the woods and villages south of the Vesle, apparently working In relays. A group of 12 Amerlcnn aviators participated in the raid on the Alsne bridges. Early Friday other American fliers went up nnd took pliotogrnphs for the purpose of nscertalning the effects of the Iiombs dropped.

106-year-old will get diploma, though book report still isn't done
She's 106 years old, but Reba Williams still loves cozying up with a book. Yesterday, she was in bed reading Zane Grey's The Lone Star Ranger, a story of an outlaw who redeems himself.
But almost 90 years ago, her refusal to read an assigned book in high school cost her a diploma.
That will change soon. Thanks to help from a retired teacher, the school board in Mount Vernon, where Reba grew up, voted last month to approve her diploma.
The former teacher, Rita Dailey, went to the school board to ask for a diploma for Williams after reading a story about her in the local newspaper. Dailey didn't know Williams, but she thought the woman deserved a diploma.
The Mount Vernon City Schools are still working out how to get the diploma to Williams, who's now bedridden. Superintendent Steve Short said he would like to have a small ceremony at the house Williams shares with her daughter.
But he wants to be respectful of the woman who waited so long to graduate.
"We would like to do this properly and with some dignity for her," Short said.
Is Reba happy she is getting her diploma from Mount Vernon so many years later?
"Oh sure," she said. "I enjoyed school."
But, according to Williams family lore, she was also stubborn.
Reba now lives with her daughter, Lavata Williams, 79, at the Northland Senior Village condominiums on Karl Road on the North Side.
Lavata remembers her grandmother, Reba's mother, telling stories about the year Reba refused to graduate.
A teacher assigned a book to Reba's class and asked the students to write a report after they finished reading. But Reba had already read the book and she did not like it.
"She wasn't going to reread it," Lavata Williams said. Neither Reba nor Lavata remember the book title.
The school told Reba if she didn't write the report, she couldn't graduate. Reba still refused. The school offered again: If Reba would write the report over the summer, she could still get her diploma. But Reba said no.
Reba's mother was disappointed, said Lavata Williams, a retired Columbus elementary-school teacher.
Education had been drilled into the family. Reba's grandfather was born a slave on a plantation in what is now West Virginia. Lavata Williams said the sister of the plantation's owner taught Reba's grandfather how to read and write.
After she refused to write the report, Reba found work as a housekeeper and spent most of her life cleaning and cooking for others. She eventually found a job at Malabar Farm, the Mansfield-area home of Louis Bromfield, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and conservationist.
Reba started at Malabar Farm as a "second girl," serving dinner and making beds. She later became a cook.
A neighbor of the Williamses', Velma Queen, said Reba once told her about one of Malabar Farm's biggest events: the wedding of movie stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in 1945.
Reba, who had worked serving others her whole life, was at the festivities.
"That day, she didn't have to cook," Queen said. "She was a guest."

For many of us its goal setting time and that means some of us will get overly ambitious and set close-to-impossible goals for this new year (its possible I have experience in this area).
Most of us don't set these goals because we want to fail. Motivation varies from the tantalizing thought of getting our top bonus/incentive payout to a misunderstanding of how much time it really takes to accomplish our ambitious goals.
Whatever the Reason Don't Do It
I'm not saying you shouldn't set aggressive goals. But I'm begging, pleading, and imploring you to set realistic goals. Don't set yourself or your team up for failure.
What can you do to set realistic but still aggressive goals?
Some Suggestions
Acknowledge reality – This can be difficult because it means acknowledging you and/or your own teams shortcomings. If you are a couch potato you can't get off the couch and run a marathon. You're better off starting small – getting out the door, running a mile and increasing from there. And don't forget to celebrate the small achievements along the way!
Analyze your resources – What kind of resources do you have? Let's say one of your goals is to incorporate social media in your recruiting strategy. Is your company already active on social media? How comfortable is your team using social media for work? You need to know the starting point to assess what accomplishments look like.
Have Tough Conversations– Leaders in my audience- this is a critical skill. You will have direct reports with goals that are far too ambitious and direct reports with goals that are far too easy – you must be able to take a look at the first four suggestions and communicate as necessary.
Three to five is a good number – Depending on the depth and complexity of your goals five goals may be too much or three might not be enough. Don't set yourself up for failure.
Small steps toward your ultimate goals are better than failure ever year
One of the biggest drawbacks (besides not completing an important goal) when you fail is the frustration and demoralizing attitude that can settle in. This doesn't happen right away but enough failures and it can.
Now imagine if you are in charge of a team, a department or an organization! That frustration doesn't just affect the individual it hits entire teams and departments.
Leaders play a huge role in setting the tone on goal setting – tough but reasonably achievable is far better than a goal everyone knows they can't hit. It's not enough to talk about the huge results we want – we can't get those if we don't set realistic goals with our teams. And sometimes that means smaller goals that are actually achievable.

'Tis the season for setting fresh resolutions for the new year!
A few days of downtime over the holiday season gave me the space to think about my writing and publishing goals for the upcoming year. Lingering in the back of my mind, however, was the gnawing awareness that, to achieve my goals, I'll need to grapple with a powerful but invisible force working against me. It's a force Steve Pressfield gave a name to in his classic book on creativity, The War of Art: the "Resistance."
"Resistance" can come in many forms: It can be procrastination, fed by an array of distractions, like social media. It can be the heavy gravitational pull of the day job that pays my bills and allows me to support my family. Or, sometimes, "Resistance" is the feeling that the well of ideas and inspiration bubbling in my mind that I draw from when I need to write something has simply dried up.
I've written before about this topic, and have offered all forms of advice gleaned from the pros I've spoken to on my podcast about finding creative inspiration, developing better habits, and becoming a more productive writer. While I still recommend dipping into those strategies?--?reading books on the craft of writing, experimenting with freewriting exercises, committing to a time and place to write every day?--?there are a few other personal hacks I like to use whenever I need to summon my creative muse and?--?to put it less poetically?--pull my reluctant body back into a chair and place my hands on the keyboard again.
So here they are: Seven quirky, quick?--and entirely free?--ways to find inspiration and break out of a creative slump:
1. Read free Kindle samples.
One of the many incredibly convenient features Amazon offers book buyers is the ability to download a free sample chapter or two before deciding whether to commit to making a purchase. Reading free Kindle samples allows me to explore new ideas and sample them, hors d'oeuvres-style, before committing my money and time to the entire book.
I've availed myself of this powerful feature for many years now, and, while it has enticed me into spending stacks of money on books, it has also saved me a lot of money on books I might have purchased if I hadn't had the chance to read the sample.
2. Watch a TED Talk.
TED Talks are in no need of a hard sell: They are inspiring, informative, and compact capsules of wisdom from some of the best thinkers around. While they do feature their fair share of scientists, I find the pool of TED talkers skews more towards creative types, and often includes authors of both fiction and nonfiction?--?people I'm always interested in watching and learning from whenever I'm in need of inspiration and ideas.
3. Watch a Masterclass trailer.
Don't have much time to sit through an 18-minute TED Talk? Try a snack-sized trailer video advertisement by Masterclass, the premium online learning platform.
Masterclass remembers when I visited their website so now they are feeding me video ads directly in my Facebook feed. While videos from other advertisers I have no interest in might annoy me, I am actually grateful for the chance to watch very well-produced short clips of some of the most successful authors of our time talk about their craft.
I've watched trailers featuring Judy Blume, the young adult author of classics like Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Superfudge, and James Patterson, one of the most prolific and highly-paid novelists of all time. Recently, Dan Brown of Da Vinci Code fame, and Margaret Atwood, the award-winning Canadian author, launched their Masterclasses with trailer videos introducing their courses.
These are just teaser videos, of course, and they intentionally (and understandably) hold back their best secrets and strategies for paying customers. But these short videos might just give you the inspirational spark you need to drag your body back to your desk and start hammering out some words.
4. Watch Conan O'Brien (or whoever makes you laugh).
There's nothing more cathartic than a having a hearty laugh, one that makes you lose control of yourself momentarily, or which even puts tears in your eyes. That's what the comedian Conan O'Brien does for me. There's nothing scientific about this observation, but just yesterday, after watching him in a hilarious skit, a stream of ideas for writing topics came to mind which had me grabbing my Evernote app so I could jot them down before they disappeared.
You might not like O'Brien's brand of humor. That doesn't matter, of course. The point is, find someone who tickles your funny bone and watch a clip or two on YouTube, Facebook, or wherever you find them.
5. Listen to a thought-provoking podcast.
Gosh, I love podcasts! It's my turn-to medium for absorbing new ideas and learning about thinkers and artists I had never heard of before. The magic of podcasts is it's the only format I know that allows me to truly multi-task. I can take in an episode of the James Altucher Show in which he probes the lives and minds of successful authors and other influencers in hour-long interviews, or listen to Seth Godin's brilliant podcast Akimbo, in which he digs beneath the surface of modern culture and offers his witty and insightful take on things, all while doing mundane tasks like driving to and from my daughter's school, or peeling potatoes and carrots for a pot of chicken soup I'm making.
6. Listen to 80s music (or classical, or rap, or whatever you like).
I rarely listen to music while I'm writing, though occasionally I'll listen to instrumental music videos on YouTube to get into a state of "flow" so I can tune out the world and focus on my writing.
However, if I'm looking for some inspiration, I'll binge watch music videos from the 1980s on YouTube. Why the 1980s? That's when I was in high school and college and was the time I collected cassettes and CDs of music from my favorite alternative rock bands, like Depeche Mode, Modern English, The Smiths, or Simple Minds, to name just a handful of the groups I listened to (and still listen to).
You may find your inspiration from Bach or Mozart. Or maybe you listen to Kendrick Lamar, the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper.
While I can't actually see or monitor what's going on in my head, and I don't understand the science behind it, I do know from experience that listening to music definitely fires up dormant areas of my brain and helps stimulate the flow of memories and associations that feed ideas to my conscious mind.
7. Switch from coffee to Wulong tea.
While coffee has been my morning ignition switch for the past several years, I've recently rediscovered my taste for Chinese teas like Wulong and Pu'er. Fresh Wulong leaves steeped in steaming water offer an earthy and aromatic alternative to coffee beans. And don't under-estimate Wulong's caffeinated punch: A cup or two can power longer writing streaks for me than coffee?--?and without the more precipitous come down that usually follows a coffee high.

Umbria, the green heart of Italy
The green heart of Italy, with its rich variety of landscapes, is the ideal destination for memorable weddings and romantic weekends immersed in the most scenic natural setting.
The rugged Apennines are interspersed with the mountain ranges of the Valnerina and the numerous regional nature parks, until they plunge back into the wide lake basins of Lake Trasimeno and Piediluco and along the banks of numerous rivers, first and foremost the Tiber. But Umbria is not just a place of wild nature, it is also full of hidden treasures within the enchanted natural places: the chromatic illusions of the Castelluccio Plain in the centre of the Monti Sibillini Park, the stagmites of the Montecucco Cave, powerful Marmore Waterfalls.

Congratulations! You have graduated from college and are now the proud owner of a diploma — along with a pile of student loan bills. The transition to adulthood can be quite jarring, especially if you have never really had to worry about your own finances before. You might be confused about your options, unsure about what to do, or afraid that you won't be able to make your payments.
It is never a good idea to try to hide, run away, or ignore your student loans completely. You used them to achieve your goal; now it is time to pay the bill. If you don't know what to do, the first step is to do some research and gather all the information you can. Not surprisingly, the federal government has a vested interest in making sure you repay your federal student loans. As such, they provide a wealth of information to help recent college graduates come to terms with their student loan responsibilities. In fact, they have eight student loan payment suggestions that should be of help.
8 Suggestions for Student Loan Repayment
- Take action now: Don't ignore those student loans all summer while you have fun, and then work yourself into a frenzy when the payment notices start arriving. There are actions you can take now that will make your life much simpler in the fall. Learn about the available student loan repayment plans so you can find something that fits your post-college financial situation. You might be able to pay nothing for a specified period of time, but you need to talk to your loan servicer to determine if you qualify.
- Get a budgeting mindset: If your parents kept you on a tight budget in college, you are already a step ahead. You will need those skills to get you through your student loan repayment years. Put together a budget for your estimated income and living expenses to estimate how much you have left to earmark for these payments.
- Learn your options: If you do nothing, you will be entered into the Standard Repayment Plan, which allows you to repay your student loans over 10 years. While this is usually the fastest way to repay that debt, the monthly payments might be a stretch for some students. Check out available repayment plans which could extend the term of your loan, or adjust the payments based on the income you earn.
- Your loan might be forgiven: In some specific situations, the government may forgive part of your loan or even provide money to help you repay it, depending on your post-college plans. Don't make any repayment decisions without first learning whether you are eligible for loan forgiveness.
- Start a direct pay relationship: Most students today are already familiar with online banking, which can come in very handy for making student loan payments. Ask your loan servicer how to sign up for automatic debit so your payments will be automatically taken from your bank account each month. You'll also get a 0.25% interest rate reduction when you enroll.
- Make extra payments: Once you become employed, you might find that you are actually earning more money than your expenses. However, that might not be true if you decide to get married or buy a home of your own, so it makes sense to use any extra money you might have now to pay down your student loans. Inform your loan servicer that any extra amount is not to be put toward future payments. If you have not consolidated your loans, you'll also need to tell them to apply any additional amount to the loan with the highest interest rate.
- Think twice about postponing payments: Although you might be able to participate in a deferment or forbearance option, think twice before you take advantage of this opportunity. In most cases, interest will continue to build.
- Get help: Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Your loan servicer provides help at no charge. Above all, never pay outside companies which say they can help, but only for a fee.

Twelve years will have passed between the release of Grand Theft Auto III in 2001 and Grand Theft Auto V in 2013. Those 12 years have seen ten releases of major GTA games and DLC, each putting its own spin on the series' classic vector art look.
The 71 official images pulled from Rockstar's website cover GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, GTA4, The Lost and Damned, Chinatown Wars, The Ballad of Gay Tony, and GTA5, including the images released just last night.
So by the numbers: what do the faces of Grand Theft Auto look like?
- 58 are men (0 in sexually provocative dress and/or poses)
- 21 are women (15 in sexually provocative dress and/or poses)
- 22 have guns
- 5 have melee weapons or are fighting
- 9 are wearing sunglasses, even indoors
- 8 have visible tattoos
- 5 are eating or drinking
- 4 have cigarettes or cigars
- 4 have mobile phones
- 3 are showing cash
- …and 1 has a dog that will eat your face. Twice.
Flipping through the full gallery is also just a neat way to look at how a signature style of art has evolved and changed over the past decade.

Zach Clough, by his own admission, is not the sort of character to spend hours studying the Championship fixture list.
The £3m man does know that Nottingham Forest will face Millwall on the opening day – a game he is already eagerly anticipating after a month or two without football.
And he smiles as he admits he has also looked carefully for the games against Derby County, in the hope of being able to repeat the goalscoring exploits – and subsequent cheeky celebration – that earned him a place in the hearts of Reds fans last season.
Beyond that, he also finds himself looking ahead 10 months or so, to the final day of the campaign – and a game that could have additional meaning for him.
Were Clough to find the back of the net on familiar turf, at newly-promoted Bolton in the season finale, there is zero chance of a repeat of those celebrations against the Rams, when he followed up his early City Ground strike by putting his finger to his lips and 'shushing' the 2,000 supporters from the other end of Brian Clough Way.
But the 22-year-old does hope that the game at the Macron will hold special significance for Forest as a whole, rather than just because it will mark his own return to a club where he first signed pro terms during the 2012/13 season.
This is the time of year when optimism tends to be rife at every Championship club; where the majority of sides will dare to dream of making a bid for the top six and a play-off place, before reality kicks in once the season has kicked off.
Only goal difference saved Forest from swapping places with Bolton, as they made the step up from League One, following a campaign of struggle and inconsistency.
But Clough has seen enough since his arrival in January to believe this was a squad that badly underachieved – and can do rather better this time around, under the guidance of Mark Warburton.
And he hopes that, when Forest head to Bolton at the end of the campaign, they will do so with something positive still to play for – rather than requiring points to simply secure survival.
"It would be nice to go there and do something special. If things go to plan for us this season, we could go to Bolton still needing something – and you never know what could happen," said Clough.
"I know they are my former club, but I would want to win there. This is a professional game and I want to win for Forest now.
"I don't look at the fixtures too much, I am not one to analyse each and every fixture. You look for certain games, of course – but mainly I just look at the first game.
"We will focus on Millwall and then, when that is out of the way, we will look at the next one.
"Other than that, you genuinely do just take them one at a time. I will look forward to the Derby game, because I enjoyed the last one. I can't wait to play them again."
Clough is one of those characters that tends to go about his business with a smile on his face.
When he first arrived at Forest he admitted that, with a name like his, there were few other clubs he could really have signed for.
But he hopes to make a name for himself in his own right, by ensuring that the current mood of optimism that is engulfing the City Ground is maintained.
Forest have already sold 15,000 season tickets, which is far in excess of the 13,000 or so they shifted last season.
There is no question that the takeover of the club, led by Evangelos Marinakis, has prompted a fresh wave of positivity.
And Clough says that even small things – like seeing the City Ground dressing rooms revamped over the summer – do make a big difference to the squad.
Now the attacking midfielder or forward knows it is down to the players to maintain the positive vibes around the place, when the new season kicks off.
"It is great to have that backing (from fans). The new owners and the manager have really helped to create a positive mood and it is great that the fans are adding to that," said Clough.
"It is a credit to the fans that there is this level of support.
"It is a really strong division, it is always competitive but you get the feeling that it is getting better and better with each passing season.
"There is a competitive nature in our squad and we are excited about every game we have coming up. We are feeling really positive."
Forest's escape may ultimately have come by the skin of their teeth, with a final day win over Ipswich Town enough to keep them out of the bottom three – and to condemn Blackburn Rovers to relegation.
But the footballing ethos adopted by Warburton was admirably positive. There was no question of Forest grinding out results – the former Brentford and Rangers boss was determined Forest would play their way to safety.
And Clough believes that bold decision will give Forest an advantage now, because the squad are already accustomed, to some degree, to how Warburton wants things to be done.
"I think that will continue; I think that is his philosophy and you don't get the impression that he would change that for anyone," said Clough.
"We won't change, because it is what we have been taught to do and it is what we will keep on doing. It is a style of play that you enjoy.
"Hopefully it will lead to us having something more positive to play for, come the end of the season."
And it would be a fitting end to next season's script if Clough was to be central to yet more final day drama, on his return to Lancashire.

Oh Taylor. Between her recent dispute with Nicki Minaj and critiques for perpetuating "white feminism", pop singer Taylor Swift has had quite a year in the media as of late.
Armed with her classic red lip and passive aggressive twitter account, Taylor has yet again got herself into a hairy situation when she "pet" The Weeknd's hair without permission during a Grammy after party this past February. Known for his unique hairstyle, The Weeknd stated that when he first met Taylor, "'the whole time she was talking …she was kind of like petting my hair?…she must have been a little gone after a few drinks. And of course I'm not going to be like 'Hey, can you stop?'".
Whether Swift was too overcome with her own white privilege or perhaps celebrity status is still in question. However what cannot be denied is the fact that Taylor Swift apparently does not understand boundaries. Not only does this situation pertain to black micro aggressions but also inconsiderate behavior in general. Inappropriate hair touching is a known annoyance for many black people as being "pet" is often a behavior associated with animals but also displays the lack of control of their own bodies.
Despite what fans think however, T.Swift and The Weeknd remain friendly on good terms- he was even a guest performer on her 1989 tour this summer. So perhaps it wasn't quite as extreme or uncomfortable the incident was made out to seem. This goes without saying though, that please ask and wait for consent, before touching another's body.

International Overseas Property Investment & Advice
At the height of the overseas property investment boom it was commonplace for commentators to make sweeping generalisations and to throw out best-case scenarios as genuine predictions. At the time articles (claiming to be offering overseas property investment advice) would talk about how you could pay for the mortgage for a second property off the rental income of the first, and so on ad infinitum. Now, most people know that such dreams rarely come true.
But of course, on the best overseas investment properties you can easily double your money. So that is not to say you cannot multiply your overseas property investments or that we cannot give advice on how to do so, we just have to be more pragmatic in our tone, and conservative in our estimates.
When buying overseas investment property, the most successful investors are those who detach themselves and choose based on only the facts. Right now the world of international investment property is awash with bargains, and multiplying investments is not only possible but easier than it has been for many years.
In days gone by emerging markets gave the best chances to multiply investments, but now we have millions of below market value opportunities around the world it is not so clear cut. In fact, whether you choose an emerging market or established one is just as likely to be based on your credit rating as anything else.
Multiplying Property Investments Abroad - BMV in Established Markets
If you have an immaculate credit rating then you can still get a mortgage in the established markets hardest hit by the financial crisis (read with piles of below market value properties).
If you have equity to buy your first property then you should certainly use it, debt costs more than savings earn.
In the US right now you can pick up residential properties at 60% below their replacement cost. Atlanta has been recommended as one of the first to see recovery, and we have found some fantastic 3 bedroom apartments in Fairington for $49k. The property is tenanted and earning a net yield of $552 per month (13% yield as well). The property is covering its own costs and we have no mortgage, so we save the rental income in a savings account.
In 5 years time we have $33,672 ($33,012 + 2% interest), we can then put this down as a 10% deposit on 2 properties costing $168,360 each, giving us a portfolio of 3 properties. Or we could put down a 20% deposit on 1 property costing $168,360. Then we would have 2 properties earning 2 rental yields, but of course we would have to pay the mortgage on the second property. In this case it is essential we choose carefully on the second property, to ensure it doesn't end up costing more than it earns.
Multiplying Property Investments Abroad - Emerging Markets
In emerging markets property values are growing and rental yields are strong. In a market like Turkey, where foreigners can get mortgages, it is possible that you could buy with your equity, sell with 35% capital appreciation after 5 years, add that to any rental savings and get a mortgage to buy 2 or 3 properties.
Anyway, this is how it is done; you buy, make a profit and buy more. The less leveraging you do however is best. If you have managed to save and raise equity for property one, then on your next purchase maybe you can use property one's earnings, plus other income flows to build up a 50% deposit on your next purchases. This brings down the costs of your mortgage, and reduces the risk.

It has been widely reported that Apple intended to launch a new iPad model with a Retina Display this year, however DigiTimes on Tuesday claims Apple has canceled those plans due to display issues. The trade paper's unnamed sources from within Apple's supply chain believe the reason for the delay lies in the inability of Apple's display partners — Sharp, LG and Samsung — to manufacture high-resolution 9.7-inch Retina Display panels quickly enough. DigiTimes says that Apple plans to have between 28 and 30 million iPad 2 units built in the second half of 2011 in lieu of an iPad 3. A report from TiPb late last week claimed Apple would launch its iPhone 5 in October and the iPad 3 would not launch until spring 2012.

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- You can get tested for COVID-19 with mouth swabs at a walk-up site in Berkeley.
"In an effort to increase the speed and availability of COVID-19 testing, Berkeley Public Health is piloting a new test kiosk where people can swab their own mouth and place it in a receptacle," the city posted on its website.
The test will be done under supervision at San Pablo Park for two days, Wednesday July 29 and Thursday July 30.

The event comes one month after UC Berkeley researchers announced on June 30 that they had started trials of a saliva test, allowing people to spit into a tube, which is far less invasive than the nasal swab.
The San Pablo Park pilot tests are free to people without insurance.
"Our goal is to use what is within our means to expand the availability of testing," said City Manager Dee Williams-Ridley. "This pilot testing program gives us a tool to see how we might expand access to more parts of our community."
RELATED: Coronavirus testing center list: Where can I get tested for COVID-19 in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Berkeley is working with Curative Inc., which has been approved by the state to provide saliva-based tests, according to the city. The tests have also been used widely in the city of Los Angeles.
The pilot program will help Berkeley increase testing for uninsured and vulnerable populations, especially Black and Latino, who are currently infected at more than 4.5 times the rate of white people nationally, according to city officials.
People can expect to get results in 24 to 48 hours and appointments are available online.

Navy football has lost another former head coach, just one week after the death of Hall of Famer George Welsh.
Rick Forzano, who preceded Welsh in Annapolis, died on Wednesday at the age of 90 at his home in Orlando, Florida. He was head coach at Navy from 1969 through 1972, a down period for the program.
Hampered by the growing popularity of professional football and the unpopularity of the Vietnam War, Forzano had difficulty recruiting and the result was a four-year record of 10-33 at Navy.
"Rick Forzano was an intense football coach who demanded a lot and wanted to win," said Bill McKinney, captain of the 1970 Navy team that finished 2-9. "Unfortunately, we played some really good programs back in those years and we just weren't talented enough to compete on even terms."
Forzano had been an assistant at Navy from 1959 through 1963 under legendary head coach Wayne Hardin. He left the academy to become head coach at Connecticut and compiled a 7-10-1 record in two seasons at a time when the program played at the Division I-AA level in the Yankee Conference.
Bill Elias replaced Hardin as head coach at Navy and amassed a 15-22-3 mark from 1965-68. James "Bo" Coppedge was hired as Navy athletic director in 1968 and one of his first moves was to fire Elias and hire Forzano, who coached in the National Football League with the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals from 1966-68.
McKinney, who lives in Arnold and his senior pastor of Mariners Church, believes the success of Navy football during that era was not a reflection of the coaching ability of Forzano. A quick glance at the schedule highlights the challenges as it featured the likes of Penn State, Texas, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Michigan and Boston College on an annual basis.
"Rick Forzano came in and tried to get things turned around. He worked very hard to help us become the best we could be," McKinney said. "I would describe Coach Forzano as a disciplinarian. He held players to a high standard and did everything possible to help the team be successful, but there was only so much you could do with the talent on hand at the time."
Daily Top Stories
Forzano hired five assistants who wound up becoming head coaches in Leeman Bennett (Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Frank Gansz (Kansas City Chiefs), Pete McCulley (San Francisco 49ers), Jim Stanley (Oklahoma State) and Joe Bugel (Phoenix Cardinals, Oakland Raiders).
Steve Belichick's career as the longest-tenured assistant in Navy football history (1956-1989) included a stint under Forzano, whose junior varsity coach was former Midshipman All-American Dick Duden.
Forzano left Navy in 1973 to become an assistant with the Detroit Lions and was elevated to head coach the following season. The Ohio native led the Lions to a 15-17 record from 1974-76.
Forzano's staff in Detroit included the aforementioned Bugel along with future NFL head coaches Jerry Glanville (Houston Oilers, Atlanta Falcons) and Raymond Berry (New England Patriots). In 1976, Forzano hired a youngster named Bill Belichick to serve as an assistant.
Belichick, who had graduated from Wesleyan College in 1975, served as assistant special teams coach for Detroit under Forzano.
Welsh replaced Forzano at Navy and directed a dramatic resurgence of the struggling program, compiling a 31-15-1 record with three bowl berths from 1978-1981. In an odd twist of fate, Welsh and Forzano died exactly one week apart.
That period of 1965 through 1972 is a forgettable one for Navy football as it came between the tenures of Hardin and Welsh, both of whom were inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
