Mondelez International, the parent company of Nabisco, has redesigned its packaging of "Barnum's Animals" crackers after being pressured by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.The group called for the redesign by Mondelez because it protests the use of animals in circuses, and the animal crackers boxes showed animals in cages, the Associated Press reports.The crackers were once named for the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus, but it folded for good after 146 years. It had removed elephants from its shows because of pressure from PETA, the AP says.The animal crackers boxes now show animals wandering side-by-side in the grass and include trees. 699

Music can move the soul.Learning to carry a tune or play a chord can be a much-needed break from reality“Certainly, it helps people to heal in more than one way,” said Ty Hughes, music director at School of Rock Denver. He’s been teaching students online since the pandemic hit.“A lot of people are inspired to teach themselves a new skill or rather to work on a new skill, and take up a lot of the time they’re finding they have on their hands during these troubled times here,” he said.Recently, Hughes’ student base has grown from children to an older audience.“I’ve had at least about 75% more adults show up on my schedule these days,” he said.People like health care worker Janae Martinez, who started playing her guitar again while staying safe a home“It was very therapeutic for me in general,” she said of playing music. “So, I knew that I needed it again during the pandemic.”The mother of two says practicing playing helps her focus on things other than the virus.“It heals. It quiets my mind,” Martinez said. “It eases my soul if you will.”With more adults taking music lessons and picking up other hobbies during the pandemic, mental health experts say these activities can help the mind and body.“The feeling that I think some people had at the beginning of the pandemic is like, ‘everything is going to hell. How can I make the best of this,’” said Sean Ransom, Ph.D., clinical director at the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center of New Orleans.He says if things someone enjoys are taken away, like many were during the COVID-19 crisis, it helps to find something else that brings meaning into their life.“Hobbies have their own benefit that bring us a sense of accomplishment,” Ransom said. “They bring us a sense of growth.”While an online experience might not be enough for some people who prefer more social interaction, there’s still benefits from this type of training.“It’s been an adjustment but that’s what music has always been about is adapting to the times,” Hughes saidHe added that it’s never too late to learn something new.”Music is the healing answer,” Hughes said. ”Music is the magic. That’s what we’re going to keep going at.” 2169

Mortgage rates are likely to set record lows in August for the third month in a row.The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.18% APR in July, a record low in NerdWallet’s mortgage rate survey. The average rate tumbled 15 basis points compared with June, which at the time had the record low monthly average.The recession has caused rates to fallMortgage rates fall when the economy stalls. And the economy has been sputtering for months as the COVID-19 pandemic sent millions of people to the ranks of the unemployed.The U.S. economy shrank at a 32.9% annual rate from April through June, the Commerce Department reported July 30. The slowdown happened because businesses, state and local governments, and consumers cut their spending. Consumers cut way back on clothing and footwear purchases, among other items.? MORE: How mortgage rates are determinedGood news for refinancers, hard times for othersThe COVID-19 pandemic has helped some homeowners while injuring others, and it may harm many renters as well.Among the beneficiaries are homeowners with high credit scores who haven’t suffered interruptions in income. They have met the qualifications to refinance their mortgages at record-low interest rates.Home sellers have thrived in many housing markets, as home prices have risen despite surging unemployment, an unusual combination. Home resale prices were up 3.5% in June, compared with a year before, according to the National Association of Realtors. One reason for the increase in prices: Fewer homes were for sale because of social distancing. The reduced supply of for-sale houses led to increased competition among buyers, pushing prices upward.Homeowners must catch up on missed paymentsBut the COVID-19 recession may end up harming more homeowners than it helps.In late July, 3.9 million homeowners were using mortgage relief plans that allow borrowers to miss payments or make partial payments if they have been affected by COVID-19, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Eventually, those homeowners will be expected to catch up on their missed payments. Some homeowners’ incomes were permanently reduced. They may find it difficult to make good on their past-due payments.Renters could be out in the coldRenters could end up suffering the most. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, 18% of renters, or 13.3 million households, didn’t pay their full rent in June. And in mid-July, one-third of renters surveyed, representing 23.8 million households, told the bureau that they had no confidence or slight confidence that they would make their next rent payment.Congress, along with state and local governments, imposed limits on evictions early in the pandemic, but some of those protections have expired. On top of that, 0 extra weekly unemployment insurance payments were set to expire at the end of July, and as the clock ticked down to the August recess, Congress was still negotiating an extension.Even with tenant protections in place, about 4% of renters have received an eviction notice or have been threatened with eviction since March, according to data from the Urban Institute’s Coronavirus Tracking Survey.When eviction bans expire, tenants have few options:Apply for emergency rental assistance, if the state or city offers it and still has money.Reach a repayment agreement with the landlord. Under such an agreement, tenants pay extra each month until they catch up with the past-due rent. But a repayment plan requires the tenant to have the money and the landlord to be willing to make a deal. Neither of those is a sure thing.If it’s not swamped with similar requests, the local legal aid service might be able to step in and help negotiate a deal with the landlord.?
