THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
CHRISTI PAUL, CNN ANCHOR: Well, good morning to you and welcome to your NEW DAY on this Saturday. I'm Christi Paul.
BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN ANCHOR: Good morning, Christi. I'm Boris Sanchez. Pivotal discovery. The CDC issuing new mask guidance recommending most fully vaccinated people resume mask wearing indoors. This says cases continue to surge driven mostly by the unvaccinated.
PAUL: Yes. And on edge, the Federal moratorium on eviction ends tonight as lawmakers point fingers over who is to blame millions of people are concerned that they could be homeless.
SANCHEZ: Plus, welcome home. That message coming from President Biden, after hundreds of Afghan interpreters who served with American troops arrived in the United States. What's next for them and their families?
PAUL: And fighting back as incidents of unruly airline passengers arise. Flight attendants, do you believe they're taking self-defense classes just to protect themselves now?
SANCHEZ: Good morning and welcome to your NEW DAY. It's Saturday, July 31st. Thank you so much for joining us. Good morning to you, Christi.
PAUL: Good morning to you Boris. Yes, we are always grateful to have all of you with us.
SANCHEZ: Yes, we begin with a grim warning today. Health experts and officials say the current surge of coronavirus infections and hospitalizations is likely to get worse as long as large sections of the country remain unvaccinated.
PAUL: Now, take a look at the map here because it gives us a good perspective of new cases compared to last week. Every state there, showing a surge fueled by the Delta variant. Now, the CDC says it can spread as easily as chickenpox and new CDC data shows vaccinated people transmitting the virus as easily as the unvaccinated just not at the same rate. Now, getting vaccinated is still your best defense against the virus so say doctors and the CDC. We know vaccines reduce the risk of severe disease or death tenfold and reduce the risk of infection threefold.
SANCHEZ: So, listen to this, you are 25 times more likely to end up in the hospital if you don't get vaccinated, 25 times. You're also 25 times more likely to die of COVID if you catch it and didn't get vaccinated. Last night, President Biden told reporters that new COVID restrictions are likely. Listen.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Should more Americans expect more guidelines coming out, more restrictions because of COVID?
JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: In all probability, by the way, we had a good day yesterday, almost a million people got vaccinated.
PAUL: And we are learning some new details about how easily this Delta variant can spread through a community.
SANCHEZ: Yes, the CDC releasing new findings on a big COVID outbreak among vaccinated and unvaccinated people in Provincetown, Massachusetts that was sparked by a gathering on the Fourth of July. CNNs Kristen Holmes has the details.
KRISTEN HOLMES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It's been called the canary in the coal mine, an outbreak in a popular vacation destination. 469 state residents infected largely by Delta. And most of those testing positive fully vaccinated. The cluster of COVID cases in Provincetown, Massachusetts is now driving new guidance from the CDC.
ALEX MORSE, PROVINCETOWN, MASSACHUSETTS TOWN MANAGER: 74 percent of the overall cases are among fully vaccinated individuals. And I think that came as a surprise to many folks that you know, we were told that if you're vaccinated, you're most invincible and I think we wrongly, many people wrongly assume that.
HOLMES: Local officials say there have been at least 882 cases linked to this cluster overall. The research showing infected people who have been vaccinated held a similar amount of the virus also known as viral load as those who are unvaccinated, shedding light on the agency's decision to issue new mask guidance, recommending most fully vaccinated Americans wear masks indoors.
DR. MEGAN RANNEY, ASSOCIATE DEAN PUBLIC HEALTH, BROWN UNIVERSITY: Unmasking indoors for under fully vaccinated people is no longer a safe choice, especially if you have people at home like kids or elderly parents who are higher risk or who are unvaccinated themselves.
HOLMES: This study comes after leaked internal documents showed the virus could spread faster and to more people.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have to get more people vaccinated because this this virus is better at its job than the original.
HOLMES: The cluster highlighting the importance of getting vaccinated. Among that province town group, no deaths, and only four instances of hospitalization to have which had previous health conditions
MORSE: This Delta variant is yes, highly transmissible, more contagious, more likely to have a breakthrough infection, but you're not, you're it's not likely you're going to be hospitalized and you're certainly not going to die.
SANCHEZ: Kristen Holmes, thanks for that report. With a Delta variant spreading rapidly across the country, especially in the south. The effort to boost vaccinations has become increasingly urgent.
PAUL: Yes, there's some communities offering new incentives to get people to roll up their sleeves and get that shot there. CNN's Natasha Chen, in fact, is live at a vaccination site into Cab County, Georgia with that story, what kind of incentives are you seeing there today, Natasha, and good morning.
NATASHA CHEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Christi and Boris, today, they are giving out backpacks and $50.00 prepaid debit cards. And this, the debit cards is something that they tried in the previous vaccination event that they had. And they found that it was effective in the sense that they got more people arriving at that event than previously before that.
So, today, this morning, the event doesn't start for an almost another hour, and we can see over my shoulder, there's a line of people already prepared take it, they have a choice to either get tested or get their vaccine. I suppose they could do both at the same time, but both are being offered here.
And this is billed as a back to school event. So, that's why they're also giving out backpacks, really trying to encourage the school aged children who are eligible for a vaccine to get a shot as well. But it's a good sign to see at least some people waiting here knowing that it doesn't start for another hour.
And as we've been mentioning, the more information we're learning about the Delta variant is actually creating more concern, not just among officials, but among people we are talking to. Parents of students who are restarting school now going back in person, here is an expert talking about just how much more rapidly this variant spreads even outdoors.
MICHAEL OSTERHOLM, DIRECTOR, CENTER FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH AND POLICY, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA: Just think of somebody smoking, if you can smell the smoke from their cigarette, that's the very same as if you are breathing in the air that they exhale out that has the virus in it.
CHEN: And of course, some of the school districts around the Atlanta area are starting back up next week, the week after charter school started this previous week, a Delta charter -- sorry, the a drew charter school. There are more than 100 students already in quarantine after school just started on Tuesday, and that's because about a dozen cases there. So, a very serious situation even in places where masks are required, so the push is to really get more people vaccinated, and that's a race against this variant. Boris and Christi.
SANCHEZ: Yes. And what's happening in Georgia, especially at schools is a warning for the rest of the country of what may soon come once the school year gets underway elsewhere. Natasha Chen, from DeKalb County, thank you so much.
With us now to talk about all the headlines is emergency room Physician and Critical Care Fellow Dr. Alex Bosco. Doctor, thank you so much for sharing part of your weekend with us.
I want to start with what you're seeing in the emergency room because you wrote an op-ed for CNN. And in it, you say in part, "The patients I see frightened and struggling to breathe are mostly in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. The one thing many of them have in common, they are all unvaccinated."
Doctor, I see all sorts of misinformation on social media, but I wonder what you are hearing directly from people that you're treating about why they are unvaccinated? Is it a lack of access? Or, or is it misinformation?
DR. ALEX BOSCO, PHYSICIAN AND CRITICAL CARE FELLOW: Thanks for having me. It's good to be here. You know, I hear it all. It's I don't think it's a lack of access, at least in the areas where I've been practicing in the emergency room. I think most of these patients have just been overloaded with information to the point that they can't make an educated decision.
I've heard every myth there is about the vaccine turning you into a magnet, patients becoming infertile, having miscarriages, the vaccine causing the disease that it actually prevents. The list goes on.
SANCHEZ: And, and Doctor, I do want to ask you about what Dr. Rochelle Walensky the CDC director said last night. Listen to this.
DR. ROCHELLE WALENSKY, CDC DIRECTOR: If we take the steps that are necessary to squash the amount of disease that is there now, we can do so in a matter of weeks. If we all get vaccinated, if we wear our masks --
SANCHEZ: In a matter of weeks, we can get this under control. It's not the first time sadly that we've heard a sort of deadline like this. I remember two weeks to stop the spread. Realistically, given all the nonsense that you've heard that the hesitation that people have about getting vaccinated, is Dr. Walensky realistic in this regard that people might abide by these rules? And that we can avoid enormous spike in cases of a Delta variant if we just follow these rules for a couple more weeks?
BOSCO: Well, I certainly hope that she's right. I do think that a certain amount of this is, is already baked in just based on the numbers we've seen over the past two to four weeks. There are people right now that are becoming infected, or are in their incubation period who are going to get sick and going to present to the hospital no matter what we do.
I'm encouraged by the fact that that the pace of vaccination seems to have picked up in the past one to two weeks. That's great. But masking is super important. And we need to make sure we get more people vaccinated. I'm pretty concerned about what we've already seen and what could come, especially with the prospect of schools opening soon, and the fact that a lot of states are just refusing to enforce mask mandates, or really any sort of public health measures that might slow the spread.
SANCHEZ: I want to ask you about the new CDC guidance regarding masks and breakthrough cases specifically being the basis for that. There's a lot of confusion out there about breakthrough cases. And I want to make clear for audience, they're extremely rare. Data shows that they occur in less than one percent of people who've been vaccinated and when they do, most cases are mild or asymptomatic. Still, the CDC is issuing this new mask guidance because of some of this new research. Is it the right decision? Is it important to act in an abundance of caution at this stage?
BOSCO: Well, frankly, I think everyone at the CDC is in a better position than a pit doctor, like me to, you know, make that decision. But certainly for myself, I'm fully vaccinated. I'm wearing a mask in public. I think that it does help slow the spread. And at this point, we have such a level of vaccine, not only hesitancy, but just outright refusal among people where, you know, this is something that we have to do to get through this, this coming surge.
SANCHEZ: Yes, it's like into wearing a seatbelt and having an airbag just another layer of protection to not only protect yourself, but protect your loved ones and the people around you. There is a new study, though, that is warned that relying on vaccinations alone, while relaxing other measures could ultimately lead to a rise in cases. Are you concerned about new variants that could emerge? Do we need to consider going back to stronger measures beyond mask mandates, like reducing capacity in restaurants and things like that?
BOSCO: I think in states right now, where we're seeing very high levels of transmission, like the state of Alabama, where I'm currently practicing, we absolutely need measures like that. The State of Alabama has the lowest vaccination rate in the country.
We're at 34 percent right now of all, all ages, virtually every county in the state has high levels of transmission. Right now. Our case positivity rate has gone from 4 percent to over 20 in just a month. Our cases are up, or hospitalizations are up 500 percent over the past month. We have younger patients in the hospital right now.
The president of the Alabama Hospital Association said we've had a three-fold increase in kids being admitted to the hospital. You know, I can't stress the people that you know, this is serious. We're about to open schools. And it really worries me for a lot of states in the south and the Midwest in particular.
SANCHEZ: A doctor is so important to get that message out there because I think there's a misperception that this is strictly a virus that affects the elderly or, or the immune-compromised. But a lot of the people that you're seeing, as you noted, are younger, they're in their 30s, 40s. And as you said, there are a lot of kids that are being admitted to your hospital as well. We appreciate you taking us into those painful moments, those conversations with your patients to hopefully move the needle and get those that may be hesitant to go ahead and get vaccinated. Dr. Alex Bosco, thank you so much for the time.
BOSCO: Thank you, Boris.
SANCHEZ: Of course.
PAUL: So, the National Eviction Moratorium put in place to help people during the pandemic, it expires at midnight. Millions of people could be at risk of losing their homes. The question is can Congress pass an extension in time?
SANCHEZ: Plus, they've been cursed out, grabbed, assaulted, punched, will tell you how flight attendants are now fighting back to keep unruly passengers under control.
PAUL: Good Saturday morning to you. The Senate is working this weekend, specifically on that one trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill. I want to show you some live pictures here of Capitol Hill. We know yesterday senators voted 66 to 28 on a motion to proceed, which clears the way for possible amendments to that bill.
SANCHEZ: Yes, the text of the legislation still being worked out. The infrastructure bill of course one of President Biden's top priorities. Meantime, on the House side lawmakers left town without extending a federal ban on evictions that was put in place during the pandemic. The White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are now both pointing fingers at each other. Speaker Pelosi saying she only learned that the moratorium was expiring the day before. [07:20:02]
PAUL: No matter who's to blame here, the federal ban expires at midnight tonight. And that leaves millions of people at risk of being evicted.
SANCHEZ: Yes, more than 11 million people currently behind on their rent. CNN's Nick Watt reports on how the expiration could impact those still struggling to get back on their feet.
NICK WATT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Federal COVID era eviction ban for now, expires midnight Saturday.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: you're going to see nationwide on the first eviction notices being issued.
WATT: And here in the state of Nevada.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Seven days later, if you don't respond, you're out.
WATT: Congress has approved nearly 47 billion to help people across the country.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It didn't know that. And I bet a lot of other people do not know that as well.
WATT: She's right. Only about three billion was actually dished out through the end of June, spreading the word is hard and bureaucracy gets in the way. Now, in Nevada, you cannot be evicted into student as you apply for that federal money you cannot be kicked out, while it's in process.
That's a state law?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That's a state law, OK, that every state should pass.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We can't work, we can't pay.
WATT: A few other states like California will keep some eviction protections in place.
GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM (D-CA): Anyone that's been impacted by this pandemic cannot pay rent will be paid for.
WATT: And there is one group that will benefit when the eviction ban disappears. Squeezed landlords.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We have many, many members that have exhausted all of their savings. I don't know how long that road will be before we became you no fall it again. But certainly on the road to it, depending on whether or not July 31st truly is the end of the moratorium. WATT: But lifting some state level eviction bans last summer, say researchers led to more than 10,000 COVID deaths.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If families are forced to go to a shelter or double up, you're risking more exposure. Doing it when the Delta very variant is out of control is a really bad idea. Leslie says she was evicted once already moved in with her mom.
And now you and your mom are?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, are getting evicted as well. Nick Watt, CNN, Las Vegas.
SANCHEZ: Thanks to Nick Watt for that report. Coming up, the first Afghan interpreters who risked their lives to help American troops have landed in the United States. Thousands though remain behind living in fear of the Taliban, hear their stories next.
SANCHEZ: Here are some of the top stories that we are following this morning. Two of the largest colleges in Michigan have joined a growing list of universities that will now require all students and staff to get vaccinated before returning to campus for the fall semester. On Friday, Michigan State University and the University of Michigan both announced the new changes to their policies. Because of the rising number of cases on campus due to the, due to the highly infectious Delta variant. Both universities also have mask mandates in place requiring that masks be worn indoors at all campus buildings and facilities.
PAUL: Cuba's Foreign Minister is responding now to the latest sanctions issued by the U.S. in a tweet he wrote, "These arbitrary measures are added to the misinformation and aggression used to justify the inhumane blockade against Cuba." And this comes after President Biden met with members of the Cuban American community and key members of Congress yesterday to outline several efforts related to its Cuba policy, including new sanctions targeting Cuba's National Revolutionary Police and Assistance to Cuban dissidents.
SANCHEZ: The Department of Justice is dealing a major blow to Donald Trump's efforts to keep his tax returns private. The DOJ is now instructing the Treasury Department to turn over Trump's tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. That panel first requested the returns more than two years ago. Committee Chairman Richard Neal says their case is strong and he's glad they can finally move forward with the investigation.
So, the first group of evacuated Afghan interpreters who risked their lives to keep American troops safe is now on American soil. On Friday, about 200 Afghan seeking refugees arrived at Fort Lee and Virginia as part of a Special Immigrant Visa Program. PAUL: They like so many others have faced death threats from the Taliban for providing U.S. support during the war. And now, they're hoping for a chance to keep the families and themselves safe at this point. Here is CNN's Kylie Atwood.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If I don't go out? I am counting down my end of life.
KYLIE ATWOOD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Every day that the Taliban control surges in Afghanistan, the situation grows more deadly for Afghan interpreters who are trying to flee the country after working alongside U.S. troops and diplomats. Three interpreters who have applied for Special Immigrant Visas to the United States, or SIVs spoke to CNN and described just how urgently they must get out of the country because after years of putting their lives on the line next to U.S. soldiers, the Taliban are hunting them down.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need to get out of the country. They are looking after us.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Our future will be dark, they got to cut our heads too.
ATWOOD: He's referring to a recent report of the Taliban beheading Afghans who worked alongside us troops. These Afghans fear for their families as well as themselves. CNN is concealing their identities to keep them safe. One of them, Nayab is particularly concerned about what will happen to his daughters if the Taliban takeover.
NAYAB, FORMER AFGHAN INTERPRETER: They will destroy the schools and they prevent my girls to go to school.
ATWOOD: All three men we spoke with had faced terrifying threats. One of them, Ramish, explained what happened to him earlier this month when the Taliban knocked on his door.
RAMISH, FORMER AFGHAN INTERPRETER: My family hide me and told them, Ramish was gone somewhere. Then, they searched our house, and I was hide inside the oven in my yard. They burned my house. And nothing remained to us. All our materials burned by them.
ATWOOD: They burned your house?
RAMISH: Yes. They burned my house.
ATWOOD: After that, Ramish snuck out of his hometown in the middle of the night, embarking on a dangerous journey to Kabul, where the Taliban are not in control.
Army Captain Sayre Paine worked with Ramish in Afghanistan and encouraged him to flee to Kabul under the cloak of darkness. SAYRE PAINE, FORMER ARMY CAPTAIN: To me, it's the -- it's the comrade in arms and the indelible duty to not betray them. You put these people on the tier with your own family.
ATWOOD: Paine says the United States could not have done the job on the ground without the interpreters by their side. He feels angry thinking about the ones who may not make it out.
PAINE: And to allow and then fully know all of these people signing up for this promise -- to come literally to the promised land and to just let it go is a betrayal to those people.
ATWOOD: About 20,000 Afghans have applied for SIVs. 700 of them will fly into the United States in the coming weeks and wait at a U.S. military base while their visas are finalized. Yet the total processing time can take years. President Biden has promised --
JOE BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We will stand with you just as you stood with us.
ATWOOD: But the United States government has not yet laid out a comprehensive plan to get these Afghans out of the country before the complete U.S. troop withdrawal next month.
Due to the urgent and vast nature of this challenge, many individuals like Paine have taken it upon themselves to contribute.
Janis Shinwari, a former Afghan interpreter living in Virginia set up a nonprofit to help SIVs based on his own experience.
JANIS SHINWARI, FORMER AFGHAN TRANSLATOR: When I came here at the airport, I realized that government has not taken care of us, and I was with my own. And from that time, I thought that I have to build something to help these SIV's when they're coming to the United States, and they don't know anybody.
ATWOOD: Earlier this month, he waited at the airport to welcome an Afghan SIV recipient and his family to the United States. Janis's nonprofit paid for their flights. It's an emotional and hopeful scene, but a glance at his phone offers a reality check, hundreds of messages, all Afghans pleading with him to help them get out.
ATWOOD (on camera): Each of these Afghan SIV applicants that I spoke with has children. One of them has five children. And I tell you that to underscore the fact that it's not just these 20,000 SIV applicants who are trying to get here because they feel their lives are in jeopardy, it's also their larger families.
Kylie Atwood, CNN, Washington.
CHRISTI PAUL, CNN ANCHOR (on camera): So, still ahead, home prices in the U.S. still climbing at its fastest pace in history. And that's sparking fears of another housing bubble that may burst. We have an expert laying out for us what we need to know. That's next, stay close.
PAUL: 38 minutes past the hour right now. New numbers show that home prices are climbing at the fastest pace in history. Experts say fears of another housing bubble though may be overblown here.
So, this is what we know. The price of a single-family home in June was up six percent over June of 2020. The number of single-family homes on the market though fell during the same time period by more than 19 percent.
So, what does this mean? Lawrence Yun, chief economist with the National Association of Realtors is with us to try to flesh some of this out.
Lawrence, it's so good to have you with us. Thank you. So, first of all, we're seeing these home prices spike -- I know, Phoenix is up 26 percent, San Diego is up 25 percent. Seattle is up 24 percent, just some perspective there. Are the other prices overinflated at this point?
LAWRENCE YUN, CHIEF ECONOMIST, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS: Good morning, Christi. Thanks for having me. Certainly, housing market has been a positive surprise during the pandemic economy. The low-interest rate always extends the buying power of a home, and that has been the impetus as to why buyers rushed in, and the sales going above the pre- pandemic. And with the housing shortage, prices rising.
We want to have a sustainable homeownership, successful homeownership. We don't want to have a situation where prices rise and crash and lead to foreclosures. But currently, it looks like even though prices have been rapid, that it is on a solid footing.
PAUL: When we talk -- we talk about their concern about being a bubble. But there's a lot of concern amongst people who want to buy a home perhaps for the first time, and they can't afford it because of the prices that we're seeing.
So, how did -- what is the prediction for some of the really exorbitant bidding wars and prices that we're seeing for some of these, not just new homes, but existing?
YUN: Well, you know, existing home market comprise 90 percent of the transactions. And the price increase is a double edge, a situation, homeowners smiling from the equity gains, but it is a tremendous challenge for the first-time buyers trying to compete with other buyers' multiple offers. That is why we need more supply.
By having more supply, it moderates the home price growth, get the first-time buyers a better chance at that ownership, and are still they don't have to go through that multiple awkward situation if there is adequate supply.
So, we need to address that, you know, what are some obstacle as to why the builders have been lagging behind. And with the vaccination making progress, some of the elderly families who have postponed listing, I think they will feel much more comfortable listing their property. So, I do anticipate that prices would be moderating in the upcoming months.
PAUL: OK, so, here is my next question when you're talking about the number of homes on the market. I read an article last week about home buyer's remorse at this point, there was this pandemic, purchasing. This pandemic panic that was going on when it came to buying a house.
And now there are a lot of people who are regretting what they did. They either paid -- they're afraid they paid too much. They bought out in an area thinking well, I'm working from home so I can -- I can utilize this bigger home now. And now they have to go back to work and they're realizing that, that doesn't work for them.
How expansive is that sentiment of buyer's remorse?
YUN: Oh, you know, when you have a situation where you are multiple parents in offering above list price, naturally, the winner feels like they are curse, in some sense, do they overpay?
But what has happened in the past 12 months is that for a typical homebuyer, they have accumulated $45,000 in housing equity. And that is a huge comfort. So, immediately that remorse disappears. But I think what we need to assure is that for the next year, people should not anticipate such a large gain. You will be only moderate.
I would say about five percent price appreciation in 2022. People should understand that it's not going to be an easy quick gains, but also it gives chance for the first time buyers to enter, you know, in less frenzy way.
PAUL: So, the foreclosure moratoriums and the forbearance on government-backed mortgages and student loan payments means that there's some money out there, right?
There are a lot of those measures that are due to expire in the coming week. So, how could that -- how could that affect the market?
YUN: Well, you know, we need to ensure that, you know, people are struggling economically, they get the rental subsidy. The part of the stimulus bill is that federal government has provided too many state agencies, a massive funds to help on rental subsidy, yet it's been underutilized.
So I would say for the renters who are in a difficult situation, contact the local housing agency. Work with the landlord, because sometimes the housing agency allow the housing provider, people who are providing the home to contact the housing agency to get those rental subsidy. Because money is out there, it's being underutilized.
PAUL: Lawrence Yun, we appreciate your expertise. Thank you for taking time for us this morning.
YUN: Thank you.
BORIS SANCHEZ, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (on camera): Still ahead, midair misbehavior. Flight attendants, forced to learn self-defense to protect themselves from unruly passengers.
SANCHEZ: We'll show you just how far they're willing to go to keep the skies friendly.
SANCHEZ: The return to travel has led to an increase of bad behavior on planes. I'm sure you've seen a lot of it on social media. The FAA says that already this year, it's received more than 3600 reports of unruly passengers on commercial flights mostly over the mask mandate.
PAUL: So, now, the federal government has re-launched a class showing flight attendants how to defend themselves. Oh, people, have we come to this. My goodness. Here is CNN's Pete Muntean
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Strike, strike.
PETE MUNTEAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They are taking a defensive stance against a growing problem in the air. Flight attendants are training to hit elbow and gouge simulated aggressive passengers, with actual passengers getting more violent than ever.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You are going to possibly die. You need to defend yourself at all costs. If this --
MUNTEAN: Undercover federal air marshals are guiding eight flight attendants through this self-defense course. The first class offered by the TSA since training was paused by the pandemic.
CARRIE, FLIGHT ATTENDANT: It's sad than it needs to happen.
MUNTEAN: Flight Attendant Carrie is taking this class having just returned to her airline following a leave of absence.
Are you scared?
CARRIE: Sometimes a little bit. Yes. You get on thankful to people and some of them aren't very happy, and you just never know what's going to happen.
MUNTEAN: A brawl breaking out on a Frontier Airlines flight is among the latest unruly passenger incidents that the FAA says are skyrocketing. Federal documents detail how passengers have shouted down, grabbed, and struck flight attendants. 1000s of times since the start of a zero-tolerance policy earlier this year.
In May, a passenger punched a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, causing her to lose two of her teeth, according to her union.
NOEL CURTIN, ASSISTANT SUPERVISOR OF AIR MARSHAL IN CHARGE, TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, MIAMI FIELD OFFICE. There is no backup of 30,000 feet. So, that plane is in the air that has a crew that has to do with the issues. And it's incumbent on us to make sure they're fully equipped.
MUNTEAN (on camera): Federal officials say some passengers are fueled by alcohol, but most are fighting back over the federal transportation mask mandate, which make-up three-quarters of all incidents reported just this year.
SARA NELSON, INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT, ASSOCIATION OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS: It's bad out there.
MUNTEAN: Sara Nelson of the Association of Flight Attendants says airlines should pay their people to take these classes and the federal government should require that flight crews attend each year.
NELSON: That we can have that muscle memory and be able to respond when someone is immediately attacking us.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ready? Move.
MUNTEAN: Here, instructors are teaching techniques that could be lifesaving, like pinning an attacker who is armed with a knife. But the TSA says only a few hundred people have enrolled in this course after it reopened training in late June.
Veteran Flight Attendant Donna O'Neill says more like her should take this class to deal with the type of passenger becoming too common.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right. Ready? Move.
DONNA O'NEILL, VETERAN FLIGHT ATTENDANT: I don't ever want to have to use any of this, but, you know, I had to, I certainly feel much more confident.
MUNTEAN: Pete Muntean, CNN, Sunrise, Florida.
PAUL: My goodness. We appreciate you, all of you people on these planes, and trying to get us from point A to point B.
Still ahead, some parts of the west have really been battered by extreme heat and drought. There's a noticeable forecast change that will coming this weekend. We'll have the latest for you.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK) [07:56:49]
PAUL: So, you've probably seen them on the menu while you're eating out those imitation burgers that look and taste like meat, I mean, really good for us?
In today's "FOOD AS FUEL, CNN health reporter Jacqueline Howard tells us.
JACQUELINE HOWARD, CNN HEALTH REPORTER: If you are craving red meat but don't want to actually eat it, those imitation burgers might hit the spot. You can find them in grocery stores, restaurants, and even drive-thrus. But are they healthy?
Well, meatless burgers do contain protein, vitamins, and minerals. And many times, they are similar to the protein profile of the meats they imitate. They also contain vitamin B-12, and zinc: two important nutrients that can be tough for vegetarians to come by in their usual diet. But beware, these imitation burgers are highly processed and usually contain high levels of sodium and saturated fat.
So, check your labels and eat them in moderation. They're not health food even if they are tasty and environmentally friendly. Veggie burgers that are made of beans, vegetables, brown rice, or keema are the healthiest option of all.
Choose one with seeds and whole grains and that burger is a meal you can feel good about.
SANCHEZ: Thanks to Jacqueline Howard for that.
Drought conditions continued to worsen this week across the west. But a monsoon is providing some much related -- some much-needed relief for certain states, though the heavy rainfall is left over 9 million people under flash flood watches.
PAUL: Yes, well, let's get the latest from meteorologist Allison Chinchar. She's live in the CNN Weather Center right now. So, you know, on one hand, good news is we finally have some moisture. Bad news is we have too much of it.
ALLISON CHINCHAR, CNN METEOROLOGIST (on camera): Yes, and it's not always evenly spread out over all the states that end up needing it because this is a very wide area.
Here you can see the radar, you've got some moisture, especially down across areas of Arizona, New Mexico, and that's where we've seen huge improvements the last week. But now, we are starting to see it finally spread a little bit farther to the north.
Again, looking at the last five to seven days, widespread amounts of one to two inches of rain across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, even some isolated spots of three to four inches. And that has been great for the drought.
One week ago, 84 percent of Arizona was in the two highest levels of drought. This week, they're down to 52 percent. Again, huge improvements there for the State of Arizona, but what about the rest of the states?
The good news is we're starting to see that moisture again surge into other areas, specifically the Pacific Northwest, which needs it.
Now, it's not a lot of rain, but again, even a little bit can make a big difference. Half an inch of rain. That's it. That's all you need to stop the spread of ongoing wildfires. If they can get at least two inches, that can actually extinguish the fires and there's a lot of them out in the west.
83 large active fires spread out over 13 states, including Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, a lot of those farther north states. 96 percent of the western states are in some level of drought.
So, yes, even though this may not be a ton of rain, even a little bit of it can make a huge difference. Now, the concern really is going forward. When we start to look at the long-term forecast, a lot of these areas go back to below normal preset.
The difference will be, Boris and Christi, that area of the Pacific Northwest where they will likely get at least a little bit more moisture to help the firefighters out.
SANCHEZ: Yes, every little bit counts. Allison Chinchar from the Weather Center, thank you so much.
CHINCHAR: Yes.


Oh so cute and tasty!
I came across this recipe in a Food and Wine magazine and just had to make these for a baby shower I catered last weekend.
This recipe is so buttery and delicious you will not be able to resist a handful of them. Like the article said, these make nice little favors when packed in small plastic bags tied with ribbons.
It's kind of weird that I photographed these in my mother's old button/sewing box. I remember my mother using this box to hold miscellaneous buttons and pins/needles. She kept her threads all displayed on some sort of wooden thing that she hung on the wall with little spikes. I have that and have arranged the threads in waves of color and have hung it on my bedroom wall. I have the little red sewing box tucked away in one of my dresser drawers and think of her every time I pull it out to mend something.
My mother won her one and only sewing machine back in 1952 by counting dots in an advertisement in a local newspaper. I guess the person who got closest to the exact number of dots in this square won the machine.
These little baby button cookies resemble the tiny covered buttons that my mother made to go on my wedding dress that she made along with sewing tiny pearls on the dress and the veil. I'm not sure what kind of memories my kids will have of me, maybe cooking, cooking, cooking. I don't know. I just hope they are good memories and I can retain all mine and remember them as happy memories .
Do you save all those extra buttons that come on your new clothes purchases. I do and they are probably stuck here and there all over the house. I remember my mother also having a small cookie jar where she put extra buttons. It was almost full and I'm sure you could have found a button to match anything.
I think this is one button (recipe) you will save in a special place. So, you can make these for a shower or your grand kids or just because you want a tiny snack.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the butter with 1/2 c. of the powder3ed sugar until combined. Add the cornstarch, vanilla and flour and process until a soft dough forms. Transfer the dough to a work surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece of dough into a 12″ rope. Cut each rope into 12 pieces and roll each into a ball. Transfer the balls to baking sheet. Bake the cookies on the center rack of the oven for about 22 minutes.
Sift the remaining 1 cup of sugar into a bowl. Add 12 warm cookies to the bowl at a time and toss to coat. Transfer the cookies to a clean baking sheet. While the cookies are still warm, poke 4 shallow holes into each one of the cookies with a toothpick to make a buttonhole pattern. Let cool completely. Makes 4 dozen.

I love the taste and smell of coconut flour, but anyone who has ever cooked or baked with coconut flour knows that it can be a real pita to work with. Mainly because coconut flour is super absorbent. It soaks up every ounce of moisture that you put into it. It's so absorbent that when I cook with it, I add it to mixtures one tablespoon at a time, and I wait in between tablespoons to see if I need to add more moisture back in. I don't know of any other alternative flour that requires that much attention. But I'm not really a baker. The issue is not necessarily the coconut flour, it's the processing of coconut flour, which makes it so absorbent. During processing, the coconut looses much of its fat and oil. Making coconut flour in this way retains most of the oil, which makes it easier to bake and cook with. If you make coconut flour this way, you will not have to add extra moisture, the moisture will already be there in the form of coconut oil. which makes it less drying.
Directions: Pre-heat the oven to 150F. Spread the coconut meat evenly out on bake sheet or a dehydrator sheet.
Place the sheet in the oven and allow to dehydrate for 6 hours or until the coconut is dry and crisp. Transfer dehydrated coconut flakes to a spice grinder or blender and blend until it reaches the consistency that you like.
Transfer the flour to an airtight container until ready to use.

When the lengths of two opposite sides of a square garden were increased by x meters each and the lengths of the other two sides were decreased by x meters each, the area of the new garden was 64 square meters. What was the area of the original square garden?
Let the side of the original square be a. We are given that the area of the new garden was (a - x)(a + x) = a^2 - x^2 = 64.
We want to find the area of the original square, so the value of a^2.
(1) The area of the new garden was 80 percent of the area of the original square garden --> 64 = 0.8a^2 --> a^2 = 80. Sufficient.
(2) x = 4 --> a^2 - 4^2 = 64 --> a^2 = 80. Sufficient.
Bunuel - How do we know that the reduced figure is a rectangle. It might even be a parallelogram where the opposite sides of the square are increased in opposite direction and the other opposite sides are reduced in the opposite direction.
hi, because each internal angle of the square is 90, therefore the new figure will also have the same internal angle of 90 degrees each, that is why the new figure is rectangle and not a parallelogram.

Classquake: What the global media missed in Nepal earthquake coverage

As the world comes to terms with Nepal's earthquake and media outlets start shifting their gaze elsewhere, it is worth analyzing how the global English media covered the disaster – and what they missed. This was a "classquake" as much as a natural disaster, a point missed amid the dramatic descriptions and heart-rending videos.
Initially, attention was focused on Nepal's recognizable symbols, Kathmandu's world heritage sites, and victims at the Mt. Everest base camp leaving several commentators on Twitter to criticize the media for its "orientalist gaze" and "disaster porn" while under-reporting where the devastation was more extensive: rural Nepal.
The media's attention to Kathmandu valley and Everest was as much a product of orientalism hinterland.
Second-day coverage shifted
As attention turned from immediate description to questions of causation, reporters were quick to point out, correctly, that the earthquake was not unexpected, but rather was a "nightmare waiting to happen."
Since it is "buildings that kill people not earthquakes," the question became: why was Nepal unprepared?
Unlike in the case of Haiti, no one evoked supernatural curses or blamed "progress-resistant cultural influences" to answer this question, although Sumnina Udas of CNN claimed that simply "no one believed it would happen."
For most media commentators, however, it was not disbelief in expert predictions that stalled preparation, but rather poverty and politics.
The political issues obscured economic disparity
In many of the articles, any analysis of poverty was overshadowed by a focus on Nepal's other disaster, namely the state's last 24 years of unstable governments, a Maoist insurgency, royal massacre, and unproductive constitution writing process.
Surya Subedi, a professor of international law writing for CNN, described a "country ruined by political mismanagement." Political instability produces a weak state unable to plan and manage its cities, and enforce its building codes, which in turn leaves people to fend for themselves in times of disaster, as reporter Rishi Iyengar argues in Time magazine.
While there is no doubt that poverty and political instability are central factors in this disaster, the media's emphasis on these factors obscures what this earthquake teaches us about structural inequality.
As the geographer Neil Smith reminded us after Hurricane Katrina, disasters "deepen and erode the ruts of social difference they encounter." In the case of Kathmandu, taking account of which buildings and neighborhoods were left standing and which were not exposes the already established ruts of social disparity. Moreover, one can easily expect the earthquake's aftermath to exacerbate inequality.
Jason Burke's piece in the Guardian, for one, did highlight the shared poverty of victims of the quake. A stark contrast exists between the inhabitants of collapsed houses and those in residences still standing. Whether in Kathmandu valley or the villages of the hills and mountains, the older houses consisting of mud mortar, bricks, and timber posts crumbled whereas the newer buildings made of reinforced concrete, cement plaster, and steel pillars, by in large, withstood the jolts. Living in those fragile mud houses are the rural poor, and the indigenous Newar and recent rural-to-urban migrants who cannot afford to rent or buy new houses outside of the congested urban cores or peripheral agro-towns of Kathmandu valley. In other words, it was a classquake.
The history of endemic poverty in Nepal
To understand the division between rich and poor houses in Nepal requires more than passing references to endemic poverty and cursory summaries of the country's recent political history. In my research on housing in Kathmandu I have found Nepal's economic history to reveal much about contemporary disparities. Mahesh Chandra Regmi's book Thatched Huts and Stucco Palaces identified the roots of Nepal's inequality in the land policies of the Rana state (1846-1951). The palace-residing Kathmandu aristocrats gifted land to politically loyal nobles, who in turn, became landlords to the tenant cultivators living in huts.
The land reforms and urban planning of post-Rana Nepal (1951-1990) were unable to compete with soaring property prices produced through an unregulated market and massive migration into the capital and Tarai lowlands. While the hill districts remained under-developed, the selective benefits of the privatized garment, tourism, development and education industries remained limited to the capital city.
Consequently, a Kathmandu middle class emerged desiring the "modern" houses of reinforced concrete outside of the urban core.
The ensuing decades of frequent political shifts and Maoist insurgency only contributed to the market's dominance over social needs. Despite the government's promises of development to mitigate the growing popularity of the Maoists, neo-liberal policies and violence led to capital flight by foreign garment companies, not to mention the country's growing foreign debt.
The wealthy protect themselves in new homes
Financed by a burgeoning private banking and real-estate industry, urban middle and upper classes have flocked to high-rise apartments, luxurious housing colonies and compounds in the suburbs. In turn, the middle classes able to build multi-story concrete houses (usually starting at $60,000 USD in construction costs) have become the new landlords as they inhabit the top floors of their homes while earning income renting out the bottom floors.

Meanwhile, Nepal's laboring classes have increasingly left Nepal for employment opportunities predominantly in Gulf countries, India, Malaysia, and East Asia. As a result, rural areas are often left with declining agricultural production and few young men.
Nepal's national building code is a perfect example of the growing disparity between Nepal's rich and poor classes. Drafted in 1994, the code was not enacted for nine years, until 2003. As of Saturday's quake, only three (Kathmandu, Patan, Dharan) of Nepal's 58 municipalities had adopted the code as mandatory in the house-building permit process.
I do not doubt that corruption and party infighting played a major role in the delay and partial implementation of the code, but we should also consider how growing real estate and construction industries benefit from an ineffective code. A lack of regulation allows companies to market earthquake safety as a selling point rather than a requirement. Worse yet are the developers who promise code compliance to homeowners, but then bribe inspectors in order to take cost-saving short cuts.
Those who could afford the suburban compounds, high-rises and housing colonies could also afford electricity generators, private water supply, and most importantly, builders trained in earthquake-preventative construction. In last week's earthquake, even those in less secure reinforced concrete structures were far better off than those in mud masonry buildings. The concrete houses that fell tended to be in the denser and poorer neighborhoods, such as the hotels of Gongabu catering to migrant laborers waiting to go abroad.
As Nepal rebuilds, it will be necessary to ensure that preventative building practices are followed not only in the elite residences of Kathmandu, but throughout the country. Thinking beyond Nepal to the next "disaster," it will also be critical for global media to draw attention to the structural inequalities at the core of disasters.

9 Common IRS Tax Forms Explained: What You Need to Know When You File Your Taxes
IRS form 1040 and Schedules A, B, C, D & E are popular tax forms for 2019. Each one plays an important role in determining your income, deductions and tax credits.
By J.R. Duren
HighYa Staff
Tax season is here, which means you'll probably be neck-deep in a sea of tax forms.
You aren't alone. Taxpayers across the country are wading their way through 1040's and a confusing buffet of Schedule A, B, C, D & E's designed to "help" you file deductions and claim earnings from a variety of sources.
Because the names of the forms we mentioned above give absolutely no explanation as to what they're for or what they'll do, we've created a list of nine tax forms we'll explain in simple terms:
1040-EZ
1040-A
Schedule E
For each form, we'll include a link to the IRS' official page for that form. At the end of this article, we'll give you links to some other helpful tax articles we've written.
1040: The Ruler of All Tax Forms
Imagine a kingdom where tax worksheets run around doing their daily tasks of organizing people's deductions and expenses. In this kingdom, the 1040 is the form that reigns. All information gathered from Schedules A-E get sent up to the 1040 castle for processing.
Now, there are different 1040's floating around: there's the straight 1040, the 1040-EZ, the 1040-A and the 1040-X. In a general sense, the purpose of all these forms is to get an accurate record of what you earned, what you're deducting and what you owe.
The history of the 1040 form goes all the way back to 1913, the year in which the IRS created the form. It was the 1040th form they'd written up, and that's why it gets its numerical name, the Chicago Tribune pointed out in an interesting 1994 article.
"The number 1040 was simply the next number up in the system of sequential numbering of forms developed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the predecessor of today's IRS," one of the paper's reporters wrote.
A website called the Tax History Project kept track of all 1040's between 1913 and 2006. You can click here to see a copy of the original 1040. Back then, the 1040 was all of four pages long, including instructions.
The current 1040? A total of 108 pages, including 106 pages of instructions.
Why have the instructions gotten so out-of-control? Well, a lot of that has to do with how complex deductions, credits, and income scenarios have become.
"Including one page of instructions, the 1040 for tax year 1913 was four pages long and its list of deductions was Spartan compared with today's sumptuous array of write-offs for money put in IRA's and retirement plans, alimony payments, itemized deductions for charitable contributions, etc., standard deductions for non-itemizers, dependency exemptions, and the like," the Tribune added.
And the Tribune is right, as you've probably experienced. There are six main sections of the current 1040:
Income: Total of all the money you brought in
Adjusted Gross Income: Income after certain deductions
Tax and Credits: Additional deductions and credits
Other Taxes: This includes self-employment tax
Payments: Estimated payments and the earned income credit
Refund: How much, if any, you're getting back
These six sections include 79 lines of information you have to submit. Once you're done with the form, you'll know how much you earned after deductions and how much tax you should have paid.
Now, we know that most of you probably file online with one of the four most popular tax filing sites – very few taxpayers do their taxes by hand.
However, the process is still the same. As you answer questions and provide information, your tax software is entering that information into your 1040, line by line. The enticing refund total you see on your screen is actually just pulled from a running total on your 1040.
Click here to read the IRS 1040 page.
The 1040-EZ is a simplified version of the 1040. Instead of 79 lines of information, there are only 14.
The IRS wants to know how much you made on your W-2 or 1099, how much you earned in interest from financial accounts, who your dependents are, how much you paid in taxes over the course of the year and if you had health insurance.
This form is for people who have no dependents (kids, basically) and don't want to claim any deductions aside from what's given to you for being single or married.
Click here to read the IRS 1040-EZ page.
The 1040-A is a step up in complexity from the 1040-EZ, but it's still not as extensive as a 1040. This form has 51 lines of information, which is still 28 less than the normal 1040.
The main difference between this form and the 1040 is the 1040-A has bigger sections for income (you can add retirement income and stock dividends) and deductions/credits.
According to the IRS, this form is best suited for people who have multiple forms of income and want to take more deductions than what they're allowed on the 1040-EZ.
Click here to read the IRS 1040A page.
If you make a mistake on your 1040, you may need to file what's known as an "amended tax return". If that's the case, you'll fill out a 1040-X.
You can also use the 1040-X for several other situations that are more obscure. The majority of taxpayers will use the 1040-X to correct a mistake.
Like the 1040-EZ and 1040-A, this is a far simpler form than the 1040. There are 29 lines of information, most of which include three columns: original amount, correct amount and the difference between the two.
You'll use these columns to enter information that was incorrectly filed in the first tax return. For example, if you said you earned $34,000 in a year but it was actually $43,000, you'll write down the original amount ($34K), the correct amount ($43K) and the difference: $9,000.

Schedule A-E: Lots of Work for One Number
Imagine someone let you borrow money 10 years ago and, over the past decade, you've lent money to him, done favors and paid some of it back.
Your friend comes up to you one day and says, "Hey man, you know that $500 I let you borrow 10 years ago? I need it back."
You respond with a laugh – you've paid him back plenty based on how much you've lent him, helped him and paid him.
Of course, none of that matters; you have to have proof to show that you owe him less than what he wants from you.
To do that, you go back to your bank statements and identify transfers you made to his account.
You get copies of the checks you wrote him. You also get photos from Instagram that show you helping him move, watching his dogs and photos from that road trip when you paid for gas.
With all this proof, you get a pen and write down exactly how much you've repaid him over the years.
Then, you give him the paper and say, "Look. This worksheet shows I don't owe you anything. In fact, you owe me!"
Schedules A, B, C, D and E work like this. They're the worksheets you fill out to show the IRS you deserve a break on your taxes, and, in some cases, to prove the IRS owes you money.
Each worksheet is intended for specific kinds of deductions. Once you add up all those deductions, you get a number you'll plug into one line on your 1040.
Pro tip: Deductions reduce the total income the IRS taxes. Tax credits reduce the total taxes you pay.
Schedule A: Itemized Deductions
The Schedule A has eight sections on it. One of the sections is simply a total of all the deductions you took, and the other seven sections are devoted to specific kinds of deductions. Taxpayers often miss the deductions on Schedule A:
Taxes you paid
Interest you paid
Gifts to charity
Casualty and theft losses
Job expenses and certain miscellaneous deductions
Other miscellaneous deductions
Like we said, this worksheet includes deductions that taxpayers often miss, a fact we learned as we talked with tax experts ahead of our guide to the most commonly overlooked tax deductions.
Even if you're filing online and your tax software automatically fills out this worksheet, download it through the IRS website. Reading over what you're able to deduct can help you form a tax-saving strategy for this upcoming year.

Schedule B: Interest and Ordinary Dividends
The Schedule B is for people who make money from interest gained through investments. Those investments could be dividends from stocks you invested in, or they could be money you earned from interest built up in your savings, money market or CD accounts.
The worksheet is split into three parts: interest, dividends, and foreign accounts/trusts.
You know you'll have to file a Schedule B along with your 1040 if you receive any of the following forms: 1099-INT, 1099-DIV or 1099-OID.
The first two forms are pretty familiar to most people – you get them if you earned interest (INT) or dividends (DIV).
The 1099-OID is what's known as an Original Issue Discount, and requires you to claim any money you made from a bond, money you loan to a business or the government. In other words, you have to tell the IRS if you sold the bond for more than you paid for it.
Click here to read the IRS Schedule B page.
Schedule C: Profit or Loss from Business
Freelance workers and small business owners are familiar with this worksheet. This is what you'll use to deduct any expenses related to your business.
The deductions you can take on this form are divided into five different sections:
Of all the IRS deduction worksheets, we think this one is one of the most popular ones. Freelancer work has exploded over the past decade, which means an interest in the Schedule C has also increased greatly.
As with all worksheets in this article, please take great care in calculating your deductions. Don't be too aggressive. Tax experts have told us that your risk of being audited could increase if the deductions you take are significantly higher than similar tax returns from other business owners.
Click here to read the IRS Schedule C page.
Schedule D: Capital Gains and Losses
The IRS created the Schedule D to track money made off capital assets, which is a fancy way of saying stuff you own. That stuff could be your home, a car, or stocks. But even though most of us own at least a car, that doesn't mean most of us will use a Schedule D.
The best way to know if you're going to use a Schedule D is if you receive a 1099-B, which is a tax form that shows profit or loss you received from stock sales.
The Schedule D is split up into two parts: short-term and long-term capital gains and losses. "Short-term" is considered something you owned for one year or less, while long-term is more than one year.
Average homeowners without stock sales may be familiar with the Schedule D. If you buy a home and sell it before you've lived in it for two years in a five-year-period, you'll pay capital gains taxes on it.
Click here to read the IRS Schedule D page.
Schedule E: Supplemental Income and Loss
This final worksheet of the five we mentioned earlier is the Schedule E. This form takes into account any income you earned that wasn't included on the first four worksheets.
One of the biggest reasons why you'd file a Schedule E is if you have rental properties you make money from. You'll also file a Schedule E if you earn royalties, which includes money authors make from their books.
A common scenario is a person who rents out a room in their home through Airbnb. If you aren't renting out your property as a full-time job, then you'd file a Schedule E because your Airbnb enterprise is more of a side job than your primary income.
If you want more information about how to handle rental income, check out Ernst & Young's informational guide to Airbnb income. It's written for Airbnb hosts, but anyone renting a property could benefit from the information provided. (Ernst & Young's guide is purely informational and not intended to replace the advice of a tax professional.)
Another situation where a Schedule E will be used is when you receive payment from business partnerships or S-Corporations. You'll know this is the case when you receive a Schedule K-1 form.

Some Final Thoughts About IRS 1040's and Schedules A-E
We've learned a lot over the past few months of interviewing tax professionals. One of the things we understood: We – and most Americans – are not tax pros.
Though the concept behind forms like the 1040 is simple – income, deductions, and credits – how you interpret those forms is complex. It's no wonder that the instruction booklet for the 1040 is more than 100 pages long.
If you have any questions about these forms or you are concerned that you've made mistakes on your 1040 or any of the worksheets we listed, contact your tax pro. He or she will have precise, expert answers that will clear up your concerns.
A great example of the clarity a tax professional can bring is Randy Becker, a retirement expert based in the Seattle area.
Here's how he described how each of the forms we mentioned might come into play:
"Those schedules along with the 1040 tax form really cut to the cross-section of a typical American family. Imagine a husband working for an employer. He puts his wage on the 1040.
His wife is self-employed and runs her expenses through a small business with the details listed on the Schedule C.
This couple likes to save and they earn interest on their savings, so it will be placed on the Schedule B. They also trade stock here and there, so those transactions are reported on their Schedule D.
And to supplement their income they have a rental property which flows through their Schedule E, and since they have deductions available to them for healthcare expenses, gifts given, interest paid on their mortgage, etc., they will take those deductions on their Schedule A."
Is the IRS tax code confusing and intimidating? Yes. But finding the right tax pro will help you have a deeper understanding of what's going on with 1040's, Schedules A-E, deductions, expenses and more.

Nearly 2,000 people in jail for marijuana thanks to Kamala Harris: former state AG confesses and laughs after question about weed use
5:35 am August 12, 2020
The debate between Tulsi Gabbard and Kamala Harris prompted a closer look at the Senator's biography. Gabbard said she is concerned about Harris's handling of marijuana law, imprisoning thousands of people while remaining at large.
"I'm deeply concerned about this record," Gabbard said. "There are too many examples to cite but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana."
According to early statistics, Harris facilitated the arrest of 1,560 people. Later, California's Department of Corrections stated that there are many more convicted criminals, namely 1974, The Washington Free Beacon reports.
"The [Free Beacon article] cited statistics from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that said 'at least 1,560 people were sent to state prisons for marijuana-related offenses between 2011 and 2016' during the time Harris was the state AG," wrote the Chronicle's Joe Garofoli. "On Thursday, a department spokesman told the Chronicle that 1,974 people were admitted for hashish and marijuana convictions during that period."


BettingSite.com.au is intent on providing a clear, concise guide to the best bookmaker bonuses and how punters from some states in Australia can claim them. We will also provide a run down on each bookmakers wagering requirements and the different types of bonuses available.
If a bookmaker is offering a 100% matched deposit up to the value of $100, you can deposit $100 and receive an extra $100 in bonus bets (can be one bet or divided in most cases).
Sometimes in specific cases the bookmaker will make the bonus bet, the same amount as your first wager on the account.
An example of this would be a 300% deposit bonus up the value of $300. This means you could deposit $500 and make a $100 first wager (your qualified amount) and receive $300 in bonus bets on top of your stake. You could also make a $20 qualifying bet and receive a $60 bonus bet and so on.
After you have qualified for a bonus, you will generally find it hits your accounts instantly, but most say in the fine print it can take up to 24 hours.
The next thing you need to consider is the wagering requirements attached to your bonus.
First we will give you a run down of how standard wagering requirements work, before getting onto the individual stipulations of each bonus offer that BettingSite.com.au recommends to bettors.
This example is using the assumption a bookmaker has given you a $100 bonus bet with a 3x wagering requirement.
In this case you will need to back something paying at least $3.00 to withdraw the stake after one bet. Your bonus bet will then be changed to a cash balance if it is a successful wager.
But remember in 99 per cent of cases you will not receive the initial bonus amount as a cash balance, so in our example you would receive $200 in cash in your account.
This example is under the assumption that you have received $100 in bonus bets, with a 1x turnover requirements.
If you back a $5 shot and it's successful you will have turned the stake into $500, which will then take away the $100 bonus bet, leaving you with $400 in cash.
Each Australian bookmaker has created its fine print. You can find a more detailed explanation of the wagering requirements of each bookie in their individual reviews.
Turnover requirement: No turnover requirement for Au citizens.
Other key terms: Only open to account holders; Must comply with Sportsbet's general rules; Decisions of management are final; Your initial bonus bet stake will be taken off any money transferred into a cash balance from a successful bet.
Turnover requirements: Must be turned over by being placed on a fixed price or racing Tote product at odds of $1.50 or greater.
Other key terms: Only available to new customers; must sign up via the links above to claim this bonus; the bet will be matched 100% up to the value of $500; Will be credited after you have made your first bet; Standard bonus bet terms and conditions apply.
Turnover requirement: Bonus be turned over 2x, while initial deposit must be turned over once before any withdrawals can be made.
Other key terms: Must be used within 90 days; Only one bet per race or event will be counted towards turnover requirements; Have 90 days from time of opening account to claim a sign up offer; Initial stake of the bonus bet will not be credited to your betting account.
Bonus code: PBRACING500 – Must sign up through this link, claim up to $500 in bonus bets to use on racing bets at Palmerbet.
Turnover requirement: Deposit matches and initial deposit must be turned over at least 2x at odds greater than $1.80.
Other key terms: All deposits are in AUD; Promotions intended for recreational punters only; 1 per person; Must be an Australian citizen; The bookmaker has the right to cancel any bonuses; Before any bonus is allowed to be withdrawn Palmerbet will scrutinise the bets placed for any irregular betting patterns; Available to AU residents only. Read more about Palmerbet's bonus.
Turnover requirement: 4x wagering requirement.
Other key terms: Only available to Australian and New Zealand bettors; If you bet more than your bonus amount in one hit the money will be taken from you cash balance first; Your stake is included in winning bonus bets; Only bets at odds of $1.40 will count; Unibet has the right to terminate bonuses at any time.
Turnover requirement: Every $1 must be wagered on something $1.50 or greater before withdrawing.
Other key terms: You have 30 days to use any bonus amount; Cannot bet on racing exotics; Only one bonus per address (IP and mailing); Casual gamblers only; Topbetta has right to cancel any bonus at any time; First real money deposit must also be turned over 1x before any withdrawal is made; the winning stake will not be returned on any successful wagers.
How to claim a bookie bonus?
Each offer is a little different but the common denominators across each deal is you have to be a new customer to that bookie, so you can't already have an existing account and hope to claim these deposit bonuses.
Once you have created an account you have to make a deposit. This can be easily done through one of the online bookies' preferred payment options: usually credit card, BPay or even direct deposit. Just check each bookie for their favoured methods of payment.
Whether the deal is a matched deposit bonus or matched first bet bonus, once you have met the conditions the bonus bet or bets will appear in your account.
What is an odds boost? An odds boost is when you back a horse or place a wager on the nose, your odds, either by your own actions or automatically on a selected runner are increased. For instance Sportsbet.com.au give customers one boost per day, which increases the odds on a runner or team of your choice. Ladbrokes has its own version of the odds boost, while Neds.com.au and several others also have variations on increased odds.
The Kiwis out there are much luckier than most of Australia with very little legislation covering bonus bet offers at bookmakers. The only full regulated NZ betting site is the TAB.
This means Kiwis are free to sign up at any bookmaker they please, with all the Australian-licensed bookies we promote on this site accepting NZ punters and allowing them to claim their bonus offers.
You can then use these bonus amounts on anything you wish, with far fewer restrictions than most states in Australia.
Read all the terms and conditions relating to your bookie's deposit bonus offer and comply with them. If you don't it will give the bookie reason to cancel your bonus balance.
Even if your bookie doesn't insist on a minimum odds (eg. bonus bet must be used on odds of $1.50 or greater) use for your bonus, go with something a little higher to make your bonus bet worthwhile. There is no point using a $100 bonus bet on odds of $1.05 and only getting a real return of $5.
Sign up to several online bookies. This is a great way to get a wide range of bonuses and then you can scour your different accounts to find the best odds for yourself in the future.


New York Knicks have started this season the worst possible way, losing their 1st game of the season, which is their 6th consecutive defeat, if we include the pre-season matches. Looking at their last match, they faced off against Oklahoma City Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena, where they were outclassed. The teams went into the 2nd half with Oklahoma already 11 points ahead. 3rd and 4th quarter continued in a similar fashion, with Oklahoma taking the 3rd quarter with 26:17 and 4th with 26:25. The final score was 105:84 for the home side with Porzingis as a top scorer (31pts), followed by George (28pts) and Anthony (22pts). Knicks did play well in the 1st and 4th quarter, but the lack of talent showed in 2nd and 3rd quarter, where Thunder accumulated the most points.
Detroit Pistons have got 2 games in this season behind them, with 1 win over Hornets and a defeat against Wizards. Looking at the opening match against Hornets, Pistons arguably won due to great performance in the 2nd quarter when they outscored Charlotte by 9 points. By the end of the 1st half, Pistons were already 11 points ahead, which proven to be too big of a margin to come back from for the visiting team. Detroit performance in that match was decent, however, they failed to win against Washington Wizards in their 2nd game of the season. The match started off great for Pistons, who were leading by 7 points by the end of 1st half. The 3rd quarter, however, was a completely different story. Wizards not only managed to close the gap but also got a 10 point lead before going into the last 12 minutes. It was the 3rd quarter which sunk the Pistons and prevented them to go 2-0.
Detroit Pistons seemed to have found their rhythm, with all players contributing to the scoring. They did lose their last match, but they were very competitive against an arguably better team. Playing against Knicks should not cause many problems, despite being back-to-back game. But it's the start of the season so this will not affect the team that much. Bet on Pistons to defeat Knicks, who simply don't have enough talent to compete against top half teams.

Johns Hopkins University research had demonstrated microdevices that actuate in response to chemicals, but this was not the most practical for defense applications.
Dr. Christopher Morris, ARL, envisioned transforming lithographically-patterned fabricated sheets into "microgrippers".
Origami artists can fold a sheet of paper into a crane, a flower or even an Army tank.
Likewise, an Army electrical engineer and a visiting research student from Johns Hopkins University (JHU) wanted to design and model thin, micrometer scale materials to form useful three dimensional structures.
Self-assembling structures that seem to mimic the age old traditional Japanese art form of paper folding have potential uses in defense of the nation.
Dr. Christopher Morris, who works with micro-materials and devices at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), envisioned transforming lithographically-patterned fabricated sheets into "microgrippers" similar to ones he had seen demonstrated by JHU at a conference for potential use in micro-scale surgery.
Their recent paper, "Laser triggered sequential folding of microstructures," was published in Applied Physics Letters and highlighted in Nature Photonics. As a result, that demonstrated how a small team of researchers looked at the same problem from different angles and conjured up a way to control folding pathways, and enable sequential folding on a millimeter scale using a low-intensity laser beam.
It all began when Morris reached out to the JHU professor, Dr. David Gracias, to discuss the possibilities of his findings for defense applications.
"Self-actuation for defense uses seemed like a natural extension of what we were exploring at JHU with chemical acuation triggers for medical procedures. Sequentially folding complex devices didn't come easily, but the results were worth the wait," said Kate Laflin, a research student who has studied self-assembly, microactuators, and their applications in chemical and biological sensing since 2008.
Laflin said she left behind her aspirations in medical research for the defense assignment. "People have been very supportive at ARL and at JHU. The lab is a collaborative atmosphere, in that we're working toward the same goal — protecting the Warfighter."
As the two began looking into tagging applications, Morris suggested trying lasers as a trigger, Laflin said. "What was so exciting is that it worked at such a low intensity."
Once Laflin and Morris tested the use of lasers, they wanted to push the boundaries of selective response on a micro-level, she said.
"It's a simple concept, but to be able to design and model a structure at the micrometer, and ultimately, nanometer scale, it took steps that didn't seem intuitive at first," Morris said. "After a good theoretical understanding, design, modeling and testing — it came together for us."
It takes about 20 hours in ARL's clean room to fabricate a sheet of millimeter-sized structures that essentially are battery-free wireless actuators that fold when exposed to a laser with an intensity of just 680 mW/cm2, which can be eye-safe at infrared wavelengths. A common household light source would not be strong enough to cause folding, but the metallic structures may respond to high-powered light-emitting diodes (LEDs) lighting.
So far, this lighting could be directed at the structures from up to 3 feet away using a handheld laser, and depending on the wavelength and intensity of the laser irradiation, the folding will occur within 67 milliseconds to 21 seconds. It takes minutes at best for the folding to occur with a larger structure, Morris said.
At the millimeter scale the structures could attach, jump, apply friction, and perform as mechanical switches to serve a number of defense functions.
"There is a lot of cool science using the underlying technique of absorbing optical energy to release the energy stored in pre-stressed metallic bilayers," Morris said.
The micro-device folding that the team has demonstrated can be applied to; the remote initiation of energetic materials, micro thrusters for robotics, the attachment of transponder tags to fabric surfaces, and could possibly be integrated with logic/memory circuits, sensors, transponder tags, and optical modules such as light emitting diodes.
"Imagine making something so small you can't even see it," Laflin said.
The metallic structures act as mechanical switches. The benefit researchers have found from using a mechanical as opposed to electrical switch is, there is no electric current leakage.
Now that the team has figured out a way to direct and control actuation in an uncontrolled environment, reversible actuation is on the horizon. "Reversible actuation is good for mechanical switches and also for displays," Morris said.
"Our hope is that new uses will spur from this basic scientific exploration of novel fabrication and self- assembly of materials, and will help future Soldiers in ways they may not even see," Morris said. "Imagine a kind of pixie dust; the structures will be so small that a cluster could be present without appearing to the natural eye.
"We are enabling true Microsystems, where all of the energy and functions are self-contained in a millimeter- or smaller-sized package," Morris said.

"Save Us" new single from "New"
The Queenie Eye single
It looks like Paul McCartney's album "New" gets a new single release in the form of the song "Save Us". This will be the third single from the album, following the title track and "Queenie Eye".
The "New" single
Paul McCartney.com is having a competition where you can participate in the video for "Save Us". Of course, these days singles are no longer available to the general public in a physical format, they are merely sent out as promotional discs to radio stations. But you can always pick them up at ebay.
The physical "Save Us" disc was distributed to radio stations in February
Paul McCartney and his band performing "Save Us" at BBC Radio 6 Music Live
The digital release of the track was on 31 March 2014, although it had already been available since the album release.

Canon imageCLASS MF227dw Printer Driver Download. Review - Although small enough to utilize as a personal grayscale laser multifunction printer (MFP), the Canon imageClass MF227dw ($249) is capable sufficient for a micro office or small workgroup. Its speed and paper handling agree with for approximately moderate workloads by micro-office standards, and it builds such details as a well-designed touch-screen control board. More crucial, it offers all the functions the substantial majority of micro workplaces need, which is ample making it our Editors' Option for modest usage in a micro office.
The MF227dw$157.50 at Amazon is among 4 similar versions, consisting of the Canon imageClass MF216n$102.39 at Amazon.com, which is our Editors' Selection monochrome laser MFP for light-duty micro office use or durable personal usage. It's also a big improve from its lesser relative.
Compared with the Canon MF216n, the MF227dw provides a quicker engine record, adds Wi-Fi to Ethernet as well as USB as a connection selection, and also it showcases duplex (two-sided) printing. If you intend to connect to a network, as well as don't intend to string cords, its Wi-Fi capacity makes the MF227dw the much better option. For the majority of workplaces, nonetheless, the more important distinction is duplexing, which, if you need it, effortlessly validates the extra price.
Basic MFP attributes for the MF227dw include printing as well as faxing from, as well as scanning to, a PC plus the capacity to work as a standalone copier as well as fax machine. In addition, mobile printing and also scanning functions let you publish from as well as scan to Android and iOS phones and also tablet computers.
Unfortunately, the mobile printing and also scanning is limited to functioning only over a Wi-Fi access point. Unlike the Samsung Multifunction Xpress M2875FW, one more leading choice in this classification, the MF227dw does not offer Wi-Fi Direct or the equivalent. If you connect the ink-jet printer to a solitary PC by USB wire, that leaves you without any method to attach from a mobile phone.
Canon imageCLASS MF227dw Printer Driver Download Latest The printer's paper handling counts mainly as a plus. In addition to the duplexer, the MF227dw provides a 250-sheet tray, plus a one-sheet manual feed. This ought to be enough for many micro offices, however if you need more capacity, you'll have to look elsewhere, considering that Canon doesn't provide any kind of upgrade options. For scanning, it consists of a 35-sheet automatic paper feeder.
The MF227dw evaluates 28.2 pounds, which is light sufficient for someone to relocate the ink-jet printer right into area, as well as it gauges 14.2 by 15.4 by 14.6 inches (HWD), which makes it tall enough that you could not desire it resting on your desk. Setup is typical fare. For my tests, I linked it to a network utilizing its Ethernet port as well as installed the drivers on a system running Windows Vista.
Canon rates the printer at 16 pages per min (ppm) in its default setup, making use of duplex method, as well as 28ppm for simplex (discriminatory) mode. In each situation, these are the speeds you should see when publishing content papers or other material that does not need much processing. In my examinations (making use of QualityLogic's software and hardware for timing), it was available in on our business applications suite at 9.7 ppm in duplex mode as well as 13ppm in simplex. That makes it simply a little faster in simplex method than the Canon MF216n (12.3 ppm), and also basically linked with the Canon imageClass MF4880dw$299.59 at Amazon.com that it remains in the procedure of replacing in Canon's line. A lot more remarkable is that it's nearly as rapid for duplex printing as the Samsung M2875FW is for simplex (10ppm).
Output quality is sturdily ordinary across the board for a monochrome laser MFP. Text, which for many workplaces is one of the most crucial type of outcome for monochrome printers, is good enough for anything short of high-quality typesetting.
Canon imageCLASS MF227dw Printer Driver Download and Latest Review Graphics high quality drops within a limited variety that includes most monochrome laser MFPs, although it's in the bottom half of that range. It's certainly ideal for any inner business usage. Whether you consider it appropriate for PowerPoint handouts or such will certainly depend on just how much of a perfectionist you are. Image quality is roughly comparable to newspaper-quality images, makings it good enough to print well-known images from photos on a Web page.
If you fail to require duplex printing or Wi-Fi, your ideal selection will likely be the Canon MF216n, which will offer you virtually the same rate and capability as the Canon imageClass MF227dw at a lower price. If you need duplexing, along with the capability to connect to the ink-jet printer straight-- or desire added mobile features like faxing from mobile phones-- the Samsung M2875FW will likely be the appropriate fit. For the majority of workplaces, however, the MF227dw's faster rate will certainly provide it simply enough of an edge to make it the much better choice, which also makes it our Editors' Choice monochrome laser MFP for up to medium-duty use in a micro workplace.
