Tennessee authorities dispose large box with dynamite that prompted evacuations
Tennessee authorities on Friday were investigating a box containing large amounts of dynamite at a metal recycling business that prompted evacuations of people living near the site. Bomb squad technicians were working to remove the explosives from the box for disposal. 3 EX-OFFICERS CONVICTED IN FATAL BEATING OF TYRE NICHOLSIt was initially reported that the box contained around 200 sticks of dynamite, but technicians haven’t verified how many pieces were in the box, authorities said. They will “methodically” remove the explosives from the box, douse the dynamite in diesel fuel, and burn it, police said. The dynamite inside was discovered when employees at the metal recycling plant were using a torch to salvage the box and unintentionally set it on fire, authorities said.

Grateful children make parents happier and less stressed, new study suggests
The study involved 593 parents of children ranging in age from 4 to 17 years old. "When children express gratitude, it helps parents feel seen and valued, reminding them that their love and dedication have a positive impact," Kannali said. Additionally, when parents feel acknowledged, they're often more motivated and engaged in their role, which can lead to happier interactions and a more fulfilling family environment. Gratitude from children helps parents feel less stressed, more appreciated and happier overall, simply because it shows that the child cares, according to Mia Rosenberg, LCSW, a psychotherapist with Upsider Therapy in New York.

The Bestway employees were joined by other volunteer drone operators from the Ashville, North Carolina region. Every morning the volunteer drone operators received an assignment from the local emergency management officials, giving them an area to search for storm survivors in need of assistance. Both volunteer drone operators praised local emergency management officials for their effective response to the disaster. Then on Oct. 2, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigiegposted a brief videotaped statement to social media urging private drone operators to obey all temporary flight restrictions in the disaster area.

Taylor Swift fans side with Caitlin Clark after Angel Reese interviews Travis Kelce's ex-girlfriend
Caitlin Clark may have just won over more Taylor Swift fans than Kamala Harris has. However, others, and many who openly identify as Swift fans, have been critical of Nicole for a variety of reasons. Many of those same Swift fans declared themselves fans of Clark in her ongoing women's basketball rivalry against Reese. "I think it's really just the fans, her fans, the Iowa fans, now the Indiana fans, that are really just, they ride for her, and I respect that, respectfully. Swift fans were familiar with Mahomes for her friendship with Swift when they attended Chiefs games to watch Patrick Mahomes and Kelce play.

Kansas GOP leader makes a compelling case for why his party should lose supermajority • Kansas Reflector
What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to stalling bills for nakedly political purposes? What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to throwing away taxpayer money? What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to planning a repeat of budgetary catastrophe? Fair-minded folks would wonder why that political party holds so much power, and they might ponder whether its opponents could do better. Because we all function in the gigantic professional wrestling arena of partisan politics, however, we’re asked to believe things that Kansas Republicans themselves clearly don’t believe.
