Dr. Kyri Mosley's journey from baking cookies with her grandmother to founding Kyri's Kookies, a successful cookie business, is driven by her desire to spread happiness. The company's first brick-and-mortar store opened in 2023 in Dallas, Georgia. Kyri's passion for baking began as a child, and she found solace in making cookies, especially during tough times like her divorce in 2009. Inspired to share this comfort, she started sending cookies to soldiers abroad, receiving positive feedback. Her own battle with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma in 2019 motivated her to pursue her passion. Leaving her medical career, she focused on baking and built Kyri's Kookies, which gained recognition and success, touching lives with love and generosity..........

Tropical Storm Idalia has developed, with winds reaching 65 mph and a forecast to become a hurricane as it approaches the Gulf coast. It's expected to intensify further while heading into the eastern Gulf of Mexico and could potentially reach category three hurricane status before landfall on Wednesday. The Florida Gulf Coast should closely monitor the storm's trajectory. Uncertainty surrounds its exact path, with many models pointing to the Florida Big Bend region. Georgia might experience rain from the storm, primarily on Wednesday and possibly Thursday morning. Rainfall extent depends on Idalia's track. Comparisons between American and European models show differences in projected rain totals. The article also highlights Hurricane Franklin's intensification, which could bring dangerous surf conditions along the U.S. East Coast.............

Fulton County, Georgia, faced a significant backlog of court cases due to pandemic-related closures, with approximately 148,209 open and active cases. To address this issue, the county launched "Project Orca," allocating $75 million of federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to tackle the backlog. The project aimed to hire additional staff, improve communication among departments, and streamline processes. As of July 31, 2023, around 108,661 cases have been resolved, and Fulton County's efforts have garnered recognition, winning awards for innovative backlog reduction methods. The success of Project Orca has inspired other jurisdictions to seek advice from Fulton County on addressing their own case backlogs.........

Weird news:
A resident captured footage on her home security camera that appears to show a dinosaur-like creature running across her yard in the middle of the night. While opinions in the comments section varied from it being a large bird to a dog with a leash, the homeowner jokingly referred to it as a velociraptor. Despite the entertaining speculation, the general consensus leans toward the creature being a dog wearing a harness and dragging a leash. The quirky video has sparked humor and imaginative theories, but the true identity of the "baby dinosaur" remains uncertain........This from Georgia News Network #babydinosour #velociraptor #runningthroughyard #residentcaptured #weird #weirdstory #dinos #dinosareourthing #dog #dogwithleash #remainsuncertain #trueidentity

They posted “Our town may not be perfect for everyone, but it's ours to shape. Let's build it with respect, functionality, and great neighborly vibes. No place is flawless; the key is investing in our community to create the dream town we envision. #CommunityPride #DreamTown”
People responded:
Kerry Folsom “Pauldings downfall was being next to south Cobb and Douglasville. All those bad bad people from those areas are leaking into our once proud county and lowering its value and raising its crime rate”
Shane Brady “ We have a community strangled with traffic and endless new neighborhoods with roads that can’t handle them yet our commissioners approve every dr Horton plans. We’re on tract to be a Decatur soon. The years of being proud are over.”
Terry Voyles “As long as we keep building and having all these people come in its just going to get worse.”
Jamie Harris “Make all commissioners, chairman and local elections nonpartisan. That way people will have to prove their motives and keep promises. Too often votes are cast based on political allegiance and not the person. That won’t happen because the partisan money will dry up and they will have to work harder for votes.”

The Georgia State Board of Education has approved a measure allowing local school systems to decrease the weight of the Georgia Milestones End-of-Course tests from 20% to 10% of a student's final grade. The Georgia Milestones tests assess proficiency in core subjects like English/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. During the pandemic, the weight of these tests was temporarily lowered to 0.01% due to the shift from in-person to online instruction. Proponents of the change argue that it offers flexibility to school districts without altering passing scores. Opponents, however, argue that reducing the test weight undermines the state's graduation requirements.......This from the Georgia Sun #georgiastateboard #Boardofeducation #approved #measure #allowing #localschoolsystems #decreaseweight #gerogiamilestone #assessprofeicency #20%to10% #shits#statesgraduationrequirements
Arbor Place Mall in Douglasville experienced panic and evacuation during special $4 movie showings on National Cinema Day due to a fight among approximately 10 teenagers, resulting in two arrests. A loud noise from a fallen sign during the altercation led to reports of an active shooter, prompting the evacuation and a significant police response. Police later confirmed no evidence of gunshots or injuries. The theater, where patrons were watching movies like Blue Beetle, is expected to remain closed. The mall had a history of fights, and last year nearly 19 juveniles and one adult were arrested during National Cinema Day due to unsupervised gatherings........
