If you're shopping for a mortgage with bad credit or want to make a small down payment, consider a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan. Created during the Great Depression to help low-income and moderate-income Americans buy homes, these government-backed mortgages accept borrowers with credit scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

There’s nothing better than the cool blast of an air conditioner on a hot summer day. But that air conditioning unit could also be making you sick. According to research, “air con flu” or “air con sickness” is a real thing. Researchers found that poorly maintained air conditioning units can cause headaches, fatigue and concentration problems. Dirty AC filters and units can also spread bacteria and mold, which can lead to respiratory problems. One type of pneumonia that can be caused by air conditioning is known as Legionnaires’ disease. The disease is caused by the Legionella bacteria, which can be contracted by inhaling droplets of water from things like air conditioning.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

(Bloomberg) — Citigroup Inc. is shuttering unused credit card accounts as a growing number of customers fall behind on their payments. The bank has also increased its capacity for collecting bad debts as part of its efforts to manage losses, Chief Financial Officer Mark Mason said on a conference call with journalists.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
