Important World News

• Gaza: Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed. This signals continued obstacles to a durable ceasefire or postwar settlement. *(AP, August 4)*
• US–Iran conflict: Reuters reports that the United States has used “virtually all” of its long-range precision missiles during the Iran war. That raises readiness, replenishment, and broader regional-security concerns. *(Reuters, August 4)*
• Ukraine: Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian ports are forcing Ukraine toward alternative grain-export routes. Continued disruption could affect global food supply and prices. *(Reuters, August 4)*

Important Philippine News

• Tropical Storm Maymay: Maymay intensified, with Wind Signal No. 2 raised in affected areas; southwest-monsoon rain is also impacting parts of Luzon. Monitor PAGASA and allow for travel disruption. *(ABS-CBN/Rappler, August 4)*
• Vice-presidential impeachment trial: The Senate trial entered Day 13, with senator-judges expected to clarify issues concerning Wamil’s examination. This remains the country’s central political development. *(Inquirer, August 5 edition)*
• Apple Pay launched in the Philippines: Apple Pay is now officially available locally, expanding contactless payment options for supported banks and cards. Check issuer support before attempting to add a card. *(Apple/BusinessWorld/Rappler, August 4)*

Oklahoma City Thunder

Chet Holmgren described recent Thunder departures as part of the “business of this game” and expressed trust in the organization amid offseason roster changes. There is no game result to report during the offseason. Takeaway: The meaningful Thunder story is roster continuity—not on-court performance—with Holmgren publicly signaling confidence despite turnover.

Suggested Moves

• Before mid-morning: send the Music Team song list and leadership slides.
• Immediately afterward: complete and verify both overdue financial payments.
• Before 6:00 PM: prepare a short SEO/SMM priority list for the Gracelene meeting.
• Review the Hetzner registration and secure or challenge the account.
• Check PAGASA before any travel because of Maymay and monsoon conditions.
