In [contemporary fireworks](https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/fireworks/anat_nf.html), the fuel source is called “black powder” and it’s made from charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate. It first operates as a “lift powder,” the fuel that propels the firework off of Earth’s surface. At the same time, this ignition starts a time-delay fuse. If things go just right, when the firework reaches the perfect altitude, that fuse ignites another portion of black powder called the “break charge.” This second explosion scatters "pyrotechnic stars", which look like little rodent food pellets, into the atmosphere. The stars contain an oxidant (often potassium perchlorate) that decomposes and then releases oxygen gas. The charcoal and sulfur in the black powder immediately react with the oxygen in the "pyrotechnic stars" in a high-temperature combustion reaction to give us the desired BOOM.

Transgender people under 18 face laws that bar them from accessing gender-affirming health care in 25 states — just a few years ago, not a single state had such a law. The Supreme Court has agreed to [consider a case from Tennessee](https://www.npr.org/2024/06/24/nx-s1-5017964/supreme-court-trans-minors) in its next term that challenges that state’s gender-affirming care ban for young people. “Pressure had been mounting for the Supreme Court to weigh in here,” says [Lindsey Dawson](https://www.kff.org/person/lindsey-dawson/), Director for LGBTQ Health Policy at the health research organization [KFF](https://www.kff.org/).

And so, after a decade of being a couch potato, I launched the most successful exercising program of my life. I bought 15 chicks, two coops and a book about how to raise a backyard flock. And I started chicken-sizing. To be honest, chicken-sizing is harder than I thought it would be. Way harder. Taking care of flightless birds does tone your core and thighs. Because it requires bending, squatting and carrying heavy loads around your yard. One weekend, I tracked what chicken-sizing involved, and I counted about 20-30 squats each day, 1,500 extra steps each day (depending on how many chickens I have to chase back into the pen), and lots of lifting poultry water dispensers up, down and around the yard. They’re not 25 pounds but they’re at least 5.

### What's at stake Prior to President Raisi's death, the hard-liner was viewed as a protégé and possible successor of the 85-year-old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Now, the prospect of who may replace Khamenei, who holds the power to make the most major decisions in Iran, is even more unclear.

“People still need places to stay warm and dry and ultimately leave homelessness,” Vega Pederson said in a statement. “People still need additional services to transition into shelter or housing. And we must continue to do more — and do it faster and better.” Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said in a statement that he expected Friday’s ruling to have little effect on Oregon’s largest city. He noted that state law “continues to control and limit what Oregon cities can and can’t do.” Wheeler said the [city would still begin enforcing the city’s camping ordinance](https://www.opb.org/article/2024/05/08/portland-city-council-passes-new-regulations-camping-public-property/) on Monday, with a focus on those places that “pose the largest health and safety risks.”

Adam Martinez is a Uvalde resident and the father of Robb Elementary School shooting survivor. He said he's still processing the news of their indictments. "He was the incident commander at the time, and it was the right decision. It's just a waiting game now to see who else is going to be indicted. It's a little bit of justice for the 21," Martinez said.

Stan was the husband of her mother's best friend. He had come over and hauled away load after load until the garage was emptied of all the boxes. "To me it was just a miracle that somebody had done something. I just remember waking up with this heaviness, pretty much every day. \[And] I'm the only one left ... so all of this fell on me. And so when I opened up the garage door and I just saw that was gone, it was utter relief," Muller said.

As new areas were flooding Tuesday, some cities and towns were cleaning up after the waters receded while others downstream were piling sandbags and taking other measures to protect against the oncoming swelled currents. Some normal, unassuming tributaries ballooned into rushing rivers, damaging homes, buildings and bridges. "Normally, this river is barely a trickle," 71-year-old Hank Howley said as she watched the Big Sioux's waters gush over a broken and partially sunken rail bridge in North Sioux City, South Dakota, on Monday. "Really, you could just walk across it most days." South Dakota state geologist Tim Cowman said that the five major rivers in the state's southeastern corner have crested and are dropping, albeit slowly. The last of those rivers to crest, the James, did so early Tuesday.

“NASA remains committed to responsibly operating in low Earth orbit, and mitigating as much risk as possible to protect people on Earth when space hardware must be released,” the agency said in April.

Temperatures in the region are forecast to cool down on Sunday as a cold front moves in. At the same time, intense thunderstorms will begin to form — possibly leading to tornadoes in western Pennsylvania. "Some storms will be severe with winds being the main threat. A tornado or two can't be ruled out," NWS Pittsburg [advised](https://twitter.com/NWSPittsburgh?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor). In Philadelphia, the peak of the city's heat wave will occur this weekend, with the heat index reaching 105 degrees on Sunday. The City of Brotherly Love will also could some intense showers at the end of the weekend.
