Some trends are more obvious – they tie in to more general trends in fashion, interiors, etc. Others just seem to happen, and this is one of them. For the last while, I've been noticing more and more (particularly South African) brides and grooms taking their wedding decor and personalisation one step further by creating statement dancefloors, and you guys, I love it! I mean, it's indulgent – there really is no NEED for this at your wedding – but it's just so cool! And depending on how bold you go, it can make a real statement that defines the decor of the whole reception space. Like the couple above, who painted the Kleinevalleij floor with mint stripes to go along with their gorgeous graphic decor. Together with the giant wall sign, it makes an amazing statement.
In fact, graphic is a great way to go if this is something you're considering…

And it doesn't just have to be stripes or checks either…

Monograms and names are another popular choice…

Some couples are even getting creative and using a motif from the rest of their wedding – I particularly love the nautical compass idea as seen in Mariette & Sarel's wedding here on SBB!

This bride and groom designed their wedding based on Monet's Water Lilies, and painted their dance floor to match!

Or what about the Delft theme, as seen in Liesl & Andrew's wedding (and again in the gorgeous oval dance floor below)? Or even a riot of colour, as in Alida & Etienne's wedding, where left-over paint was used to create this sweet pastel effect that reflected the mountain shadows.

I know Something Different in SA do custom dancefloors – but if you know of any other suppliers that do, please leave their details in the comments! Of course, paint and decals aren't always an option, but there's always a projecter, and how pretty does this look?

Teachers and counselors are so important.
My home life was pretty dysfunctional and at times violent and abusive for most of the time I was in elementary to high school.
It was pretty scary and severely damaged my mental health.
But school was the one place besides some friends and church, that I felt safe. It was the one place I could go to every day (albiet too early in the morning) that I didn't have to take care of everything. Where hopefully, the adults were obligated to act at least somewhat adult like. They were there for us. There was a structure.
They wanted us to learn and some of the staff wanted us to be the best versions of ourselves.
Sometimes they were the only adult figures I had.
Sometimes they gave me breakfast and let me talk after school as long as I needed.
My one counselor was my second mom.
Yes not every aspect of school was good for me. But it because of those amazing people that I honestly kept going to school and stayed alive. They're one big part of why I'm still here.
Thank and value these individuals please.
A lot of kids don't "look" abused or like they have serious problems. So thank you so much to the counselors and teachers that helped me no matter what.
Thank you so much.

What's a value proposition – and why is it important? It's a clear statement of the tangible business value that companies get from using your product or service. It's the outcome of using your offering – not what your offering is.
For example, I do training. No one cares about training. But, when I work with my clients, I help them with new client acquisition and faster sales cycles. That's what they get from my training programs – and that's the ONLY reason people hire me.
So, your challenge is to figure out what your outcomes are. Here's a tip. Every value proposition has three components:
- Focused on a business objective that someone is measured on.
- Has movement. No one wants to just switch vendors. They do it because sales increase, costs decrease, efficiency improves.
- The best ones have metrics. For example, I can easily tell my prospects that one of my clients was able to set up meetings with 79% of their targeted national accounts after working with me. That kind of stuff is impressive.
So why is this so important? Because strong value propositions are the main reason that someone will want to meet with you. They pique curiosity and open doors.

Brief # 115 – Foreign Policy
Israel's New Coalition Government: Can It Succeed?
By Reilly Fitzgerald
June 11, 2021
Policy Summary
Over the past month, Israel has been a hotbed of political turmoil which has included mass protests, an 11-day war, and now a political coalition in the Knesset that includes eight political parties trying to remove Prime Minister Netanyahu. The eight party coalition is interesting in that it includes factions of the entire political spectrum in Israel with the exception of the ultra-Orthodox parties. It has members from the right-wing, the left-wing, and even the Arabist Ra'am Party. The Knesset will vote on Sunday (6/13/2021) on whether or not to move forward with the removal of the country's longest serving Prime Minister; if the vote passes, then a new government could be sworn in as quickly as Sunday.
Prime Minister Netanyahu has been an extremely polarizing figure in world politics over his 12 years in charge of the country; and he has become just as divisive within Israel. The political energy of the country, based on previous election results, has become about whether or not politicians (and citizens) side with his style of governance or not. It is not surprising to see such a wide-spread coalition come together when the single issue that they share in common is whether or not Prime Minister Netanyahu should be the leader; and they can all agree on not wanting his time in power to continue. Prime Minister Netanyahu is facing trial for corruption charges, as well as being unpopular globally for his comments on the Iran Nuclear Deal, and also his most recent 11-day Gaza war against Hamas.
The Biden Administration is in a tough position in regards to Israel, as the political climate domestically has turned fairly sour towards Prime Minister Netanyahu following the war in Gaza last month. Republicans believe that he did not support Israel enough; Democrats, especially amongst the Progressive wing of the Democratic party, believe that he did not support the Palestinian cause enough.
The White House has said they will work with whomever is the leader of Israel. I expect this to be a more difficult task with a coalition of eight different parties coming together and coming from across most of the Israeli political spectrum. For example, Ra'am Party is a supporter of the idea of a recognized Palestinian State with Jerusalem as its capital; it is a supporter of ending the divisive issue of Israeli settlements; and it is a supporter of increasing Israeli- Arab social infrastructure (educational system, opportunities, minority status and rights, etc).
There will mostly likely be an increasing tension within the coalition should they successfully remove the Prime Minister this weekend. The plan, as it has been explained so far, will be to have Naftali Bennett take over as Prime Minister of Israel. Mr. Bennett is going to be a polarizing figure within this coalition and globally as he is a devout Jew and has been far to the right of Prime Minister Netanyahu. To complicate matters even more, Mr. Bennett would only be in power for the first two years of this government and would be replaced by a centrist afterward. It will be a tough job for the White House to work with a government that is seemingly only united in its disdain for a singular leader rather than a shared set of beliefs or ideas to move Israel forward.

Toronto's posh Yorkville neighbourhood may sometimes seem intimidating, but you'll find there are plenty of welcoming places where you can relax with a fine beer. The area's robust patio offerings make post-work pints a must. Don't forget that it's also a prime hood for a little casual TIFF-ing – people-watching here might result in a few celebrity sightings.
Sometimes you just have to stick to what you know – pizza and beer. Dimmi Bar & Trattoria is one of the more casual places in Yorkville, offering top-quality meals and drinks that are just as delicious as those available at other posh businesses in the area. The menu is full of classic Italian fare, including caprese salad, pasta, risotto and hot sandwiches. Typical of the neighbourhood, Dimmi boasts a patio that is perfect for people-watching.
Located on the 18th floor of the Park Hyatt hotel, the Roof Lounge is the place to sip and be seen. You'll be able to take in picturesque views on balmy summer nights and enjoy some excellent beers while you're at it. This lounge is loved by locals and celebrities alike and offers shareable late-night dishes that pair perfectly with your favourite pint or bottle. Try to stake out a spot by the fireplace on cooler evenings.
Named to recognize heroic RCAF flyers in World War II, The Pilot is part of Yorkville's bones. It opened at its currently Cumberland Street location in 1972 but was originally established in 1944. The bar offers three unique dining environments: the main floor is a classic bar, the second floor (aka The Stealth Lounge) offers a vintage feel with a stage for live jazz acts and the rooftop patio (aka The Flight Deck) lets you take in some refreshing night air.
Yorkville has its swanky persona, and Hemingway's has its reputation for an amazing patio. Loved by locals and sought out by tourists, this casual local favourite stands out among its ritzy neighbours. Hemingway's offers a great laid back atmosphere and a heated patio in the winter that changes to a cooling mist in the summer. The menu includes flavourful pub grub to pair with domestic, premium and imported beers.

- Start Early
- Rent a Car
- Download this app
- What is the best day to drive the Road to Hana?
- Pick only a few Road to Hana stops to visit
- Don't rush and enjoy the ride
- Continue from Hana to the Pipiwai Trail
- Bring snacks with you
- Don't leave valuables in your vehicle
- Don't ride back if it gets dark
- What to wear for the Road to Hana?
- Final Word
If you are visiting Maui, one of the most popular attractions will be driving the Road to Hana route. Considered one of the world's most famous drives, it's a 64.4 mile-long (103.6 km) scenic roadway that travels around the beautiful coastline of Maui. When you start to research the numerous stops, you can make along the route, you may begin to feel overwhelmed by the number of available options. If you are like me, you will probably want to see all of them and stop everywhere, but that is where you will make your first big mistake! Today I'm going to share with you some of my top important tips for the Road to Hana in Maui from my time on the route, to help make your drive as carefree and enjoyable as possible.
Start Early
The most important Road to Hana tip to consider is getting an early start on your day! This will allow you to enjoy lower crowds on the road. I suggest starting around 6 am like we did because it will give you a huge advantage over everyone else. So start your day as early as you can and enjoy a more peaceful scene.
You may also want to consider spending the night in Hana if time allows. This will enable you to take in even more of the amazing stops on the Road to Hana.
There are many turns and one-lane roads on the route and minimal parking spots, so the earlier you head off the better. Most tourists don't get going until after 8 am, so if you can get a 6 am start, it will be well worth it!
Rent a Car
Unless you are a non-driver, in which case you can book a tour online, I'd recommend renting a car for the Road of Hana in Maui, and even for your entire trip. This allows you to stop and start throughout the day whenever you like, and take breaks and photo opportunities as much as you desire. You will want to be a confident driver to tackle this route though, as the road contains many twists and turns and is very narrow at some points. If you don't feel comfortable enough with driving on your own, you can always find a guided tour online.
Download this app
While Google Maps can help you get around, I'd recommend downloading a dedicated guide for your journey. If you search online, you'll find plenty of options, but I particularly liked the GyPsy Guide. It's also the app that has the highest amount of positive reviews. It will definitely make your journey more interesting and educational. While driving, you will learn about Hawaiian history, myths/legends, and have the highlights and recommended stops pointed out to you. It's like having a personal guide in your car only without having to pay a high price.
What is the best day to drive the Road to Hana?
Any day of the week you can expect to find many tourists traveling this route. However, Saturday and Sunday are regularly recommended for visitors. The logic behind this is that most flights arrive on Thursday or Friday, so people are tired and acclimatizing to the weather on these days before heading out to explore.
My only advice to help you decide which day to do the Road to Hana is to check the weather app. See when it's going to rain and when it will be sunny. You don't want to spend the whole day driving.
Pick only a few Road to Hana stops to visit
When it's your first time at a new destination, it can be so tempting to go overboard and try to see it all. But less is more when it comes to the Road to Hana. Otherwise, you will have a very rushed and unpleasant journey!
Research the Road to Hana stops on Google in advance and create your personal itinerary.
You should definitely consider stopping at incredible stops like Black Sand Beach, Twin Falls, Garden of Eden Arboretum, Upper Waikani Falls, Red Sand Beach, Hana Lava Tube, and Honomanu Bay. If you have more time before heading back, don't forget about Kuloa Point Loop Trail and the 6 km Pipiwai Trail.
Don't rush and enjoy the ride
Carrying on from the previous point, it's all about enjoying your time on the Road to Hana. Here the saying "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey" couldn't be more accurate. Hana is a tiny town that you might pass by without even noticing! So just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenic ride. As I suggested above, just focus on your few must-see highlights, and enjoy yourself for the rest of the day.
Continue from Hana to the Pipiwai Trail
Once you reach Hana itself, make sure you carry on to hike the Pipiwai Trail. It's a 6 km (4 miles) round trip and offers so many amazing sites in a relatively short amount of time. My highlights from the trail were the Makahiku Falls, Banyan Tree, Bamboo Forest, and Waimoku Falls. Walking through the bamboo forest is a surreal and magical experience. Finish off your hike with the cooling spray from Waimoku Falls (122 meters/400 feet tall) as a reward for your efforts!
Bring snacks with you
Another very important tip when driving the Road to Hana, especially if you are traveling with kids is to bring your own snacks with you. There are limited options at certain points on the Road to Hana, so it's easier to prepare the night before you set off and stock up. This will also mean you don't have to rush off from an incredible stop just because you're feeling hungry! I'd highly recommend bringing your own snacks and packed lunch with you.
Don't leave valuables in your vehicle
It should go without saying, but don't leave valuables such as money, electronics, and cameras in your car. It's obvious but easy to forget about when you are getting out at viewpoints and different stops on the Road to Hana. While you may only be gone for a few minutes, this is a popular tourist attraction and so from time to time, it does attract thieves.
Don't ride back if it gets dark
As I mentioned earlier, the roads can be very winding and narrow at points, and so if you're behind with your touring plans, I'd suggest finding a place to stay near Hana. It's not worth the risk of driving back on foreign roads in the dark, especially if you have miles left to go. Many people do opt to stay in Hana for the night, and split the route into two days, so this may be worth considering in advance. If you are particularly interested in seeing many sights and taking in a few hikes on the way, I'd highly recommend this option.
What to wear for the Road to Hana?
The weather in Maui is generally hot all year round, although you will want to be prepared for rain. Wear loose-fitting, light clothing, and bring a change of clothing in case you get dirty or sweaty hiking. If you are planning to take a swim at the beach, ensure you put swimwear and towels in the car.
I hope these important Road to Hana tips have helped you plan and get excited for your day or two on this fantastic route. It really was one of the highlights of my trip to Maui. So, pick your most desired stops on the route in advance, set off early, and you will have an amazing time on this famous drive.
Final Word
I hope I was able to help you with this Important Tips For Driving The Road to Hana tips list. Thank you so much for reading, comment below if you liked it or would want to add something else.
Don't forget to contact me through email, Instagram, or Facebook, where I share even more tips, so we can stay connected and get to know each other better. I can't wait to hear from you!

Anecdotes about Cyclists – One
Two Nerds on a Tandem
Two nerds are riding along on a tandem bicycle when, suddenly, the one on the front slams on the brakes, gets off, and starts letting air out of the tires.
The one on the back says: "HEY! What are you doing that for?!"
The first nerd says, "My seat was too high and was hurting my butt. I wanted to lower it a bit."
So the one in the back has had enough. He jumps off, loosens his own seat and spins it round to face the other direction.
Now it's the first guy's turn to wonder what's going on. "What are you doing?" he asks his friend.
"Look, mate," says the rider in the back, "if you're going to do stupid stuff like that, I'm going home!!"
Anecdotes about Cyclists – Two
Problem Dog
"I've really had it with my dog," says a guy to his neighbor. "He'll chase anyone on a bicycle."
"Hmmm, that is a problem," said the neighbor. "What are you thinking of doing about it?"
"Guess the only answer is to confiscate his bike!"
Anecdotes about Cyclists – Three
The Pedestrian and the Cyclist
A pedestrian stepped off the curb and into the road without looking and promptly gets knocked flat by a passing cyclist.
"You were really lucky there," said the cyclist.
"What on earth are you talking about! That really hurt!" said the pedestrian, still on the pavement, rubbing his head.
The cyclist replied, "Well, usually I drive a bus!"
Anecdotes about Cyclists – Four
Cyclist in Heaven
A very devout cyclist dies and goes to heaven. Saint Peter meets him at the gate. The first thing the cyclist asks is if there are bicycles in heaven.
"Sure," says St. Peter, "let me show you," and he leads the guy into the finest Velodrome you can imagine.
"This is great," the cyclist says.
"It certainly is," says St. Peter. "You will have a custom bike and the best cycling clothes you've ever seen, and your personal masseuse will always be available."
As they speak, a blur streaks by them on the boards, riding a gold-plated bike.
"Wow!" the cyclist exclaims. "That guy was so fast that can only be Mark Cavendish!"
"No," says St. Peter, "that was God on the bike. He only thinks he's Mark Cavendish."
Anecdotes about Cyclists – Five
Spousal Tandem
A tandem rider is stopped by a police car.
"What've I done, officer?" asks the rider.
"Perhaps you didn't notice, sir, but your wife fell off your bike half a mile back . . ."
"Oh, thank God for that," says the rider – "I thought I'd gone deaf!"

Fig.2: As the normal vectors are only enforced inside facets in the local shaping step, sharp-features can be formed along the boundary of facets. Meanwhile, the surface smoothness is preserved by the least-square optimization in the global
blending step.
2. Incomplete Data: The formulate of our DGP-base SfG approach can be applied to incomplete data sets, in which the gradients on some pixels are not known. Examples with up to 55% information missed can be successfully reconstructed.
Fig.3: Tests of our approach on inputs with different amount of noises added: (a) Color maps illustrate the distribution of noises and colors denote the amount
of perturbation in terms of angle degree. (b) When treating all noisy samples
as inliers, the computation of our approach converges in 5 steps. (c) When
considering the noisy samples as outliers and removing them from the
computation - that leads to an input with sparse samples, our approach can
successfully converge to a reconstruction with more higher quality in 18, 38,
143 and 195 steps of iteration respectively..
3. Irregular Domain Boundary: Benefit from transforming the computing media to a mesh surface, the reconstruction of surfaces with boundaries in general shapes can be easily supported by our approach.
Fig.4: In total, we test 20 models and compare the results generated from eight different algorithms, including ours, Poisson [4], alphasurface [5], M-estimator [6], regularization [7], anisotropic diffusion [8] and kernel-based fitting [9, 10]. The averages of relative errors are measured on all the results to obtain a quantitative comparison. Both the noise-free input (top-left) and the input with Gaussian noises (top-right) are tested. Our approach outperforms other methods in both cases.

Cybersecurity solutions firm Kaspersky reviewed threats targeting major gaming platforms in an effort to understand the extent of exploitation in the industry. It found at least four malware types that are capable of stealing users' account data from platforms such as Battle.net, Origin, and Uplay, in order to resell it afterward.
However, these Trojans are not just looking to affect gameplay but banking details as well.
Password stealers are a type of Trojan malware, designed to steal account data — from gaming session tokens or log in details, to nearly any information saved on a computer. This can include cookie files, login credentials, and passwords saved on a browser, along with a lot more. In some instances, stealing gaming details is just one of the malware's functions, and online banking passwords are also of interest.
Decoding the different types of threat intelligence
Using face app is fun, but is it safe?
Kaspersky analyzed the password stealer landscape to see how vulnerable users could be. Threat analysis presented four malware families including Kpot, BetaBot, Okasidis, and Thief Stealer, which all carry Trojan.
Trojan stealers
Kpot Trojan can steal cookie files, accounts from various messengers, and one of the gaming platform's sessions tokens. By obtaining session token data, cybercriminals do not get access to the user's login and password details. However, they can quickly resell all valuable in-game attributes. Other Trojan kinds, such as Okasidis and Thief Stealer, focus on stealing specific files from game-related folders on the infected computer.
Trojan stealers can also retrieve browser data. BetaBot targets a number of popular gaming platforms in the following way: if a user visits a URL, which contains specific keywords, the malware turns on data gathering on these pages. This allows logins and passwords entered on the page to fall into criminals' hands.
In all cases, the Trojans are not visible to the user as they do not demand any extra permissions or send fake alerts: They just quietly steal data. Trojans do not exploit any platform vulnerabilities, as these purely focus on gathering data from an infected device.
"There are numerous gaming-focused threats out there, from fake files and compromised modes resold on the web, through to phishing pages," said Alexander Eremin, security analyst at Kaspersky. "However, if a user is aware of these threats, they can take steps to protect themselves from harm. Unfortunately, this is not the case with password stealers, as it is hard for a user to spot them. This means that gamers need to be proactive in keeping themselves safe and always take extra precautions, as well as using a reliable security solution to prevent their computer from becoming infected."
In order to protect gaming accounts from malware, including password stealers, Kaspersky recommends taking the following steps:
- Set up two-factor authentication, so even if your login and password have been stolen, they will not be enough to access your account
- Only download gaming modifications from trusted sources
- Use a reliable security solution, such as Kaspersky Security Cloud, which will be able to identify stealers and stop them from stealing your data
- Do not turn off your security solution while playing a game. Some security solutions, such as Kaspersky Security Cloud, have a special gaming mode, which reduces the load on the computer during playing time and does not affect the quality of the gaming experience.

A new study from Notonthehighstreet has revealed that nearly a quarter (22%) of smaller businesses say they 'will close in the next 12 months' if they have a 'below average' Christmas trading season, with nearly one in 10 (8%) saying they would shut up shop in a matter of weeks. An additional 12% say that 'could' close if they don't hit their targets.
The online curated marketplace said: 'The figures lay bare the precarious nature of many small businesses in the UK and the need for consumers to shop with independent traders this Christmas in order to help many survive. The Christmas trading season is key for many small businesses, with 45% of small business owners saying the period is important, and a quarter (24%) going as far as to say it is 'very important/vital'.
Notonthehighstreet works with 5,000 small businesses and its research, based on a poll of 2,002 adults conducted by Opinium, found that whilst most British shoppers (85%) consider themselves to be someone who supports small businesses, a third (33%) have not purchased anything from a small business in the past six months. More than one in ten (11%) have not in the past year.
The research revealed that when it comes to the Christmas trading season, just 26p in every pound will be spent with small businesses this year, with the lion's share going to big corporations and chains. This is based on the average UK consumer saying they will spend £362 on products this Christmas – £92 of which will be with small businesses.
The study shows that 30% of Brits know someone who owns a small business that relies on Christmas trade. When asked about the impact on that person and their family should the businesses have a poor Christmas trading season, nearly a third (31%) said that it means they will struggle financially next year, 21% said it will impact their wellbeing and/or mental health, and a fifth (20%) said it will ruin them financially and lead to bankruptcy.
Whilst many Brits aren't supporting small business as much as they think, the research demonstrates they would be extremely missed if they disappeared. More than 9 in 10 shoppers (91%) say they like shopping with small businesses, the key reasons being: 'I like to buy British brands' (38%), 'The products are bespoke and unique' (37%) and 'Your purchase helps the owner and his family rather than lining CEO and shareholder pockets' (33%)
Claire Davenport, ceo of notonthehighstreet, commented: "The research figures show that whilst Brits love to shop with small businesses and believe they support them, they aren't quite putting their money where their mouth is.
"It's clear that many smaller businesses are heavily reliant on the Christmas trading period and a below average Christmas could put them in a precarious situation when it comes to the long term viability of their company. The figures stated are the impact on companies who have a 'below average' Christmas, demonstrating that the impact of a very poor Christmas could be far more severe."
Notonthehighstreet was founded in 2006 by Holly Tucker MBE and Sophie Cornish MBE. The brand connects almost 3 million customers to 5,000 creative small businesses from across the country that sell through its online marketplace.
Headquartered in Richmond, south-west London, notonthehighstreet is led by ceo Claire Davenport and chaired by retail veteran Darren Shapland. It is backed by media and technology company Hubert Burda Media and venture capitalists including Index Ventures, Industry Ventures and Eight Roads Ventures.

The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture
Located in the northeastern corner of Texas County, in the Oklahoma Panhandle, Tyrone lies on U.S. Highway 54, midway between Hooker, Oklahoma, and Liberal, Kansas. Originally, the entire Panhandle was included in Beaver County, Oklahoma Territory. The Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway completed its line south to Liberal, Kansas, in 1888. The railroad built a spur to a spot seven miles southwest of Liberal, about three miles inside the Public Land Strip (the Oklahoma Panhandle), and installed pens and loading chutes. To the southeast, they established a cattle-watering area called Shade's Well. Meanwhile, about three miles from Liberal, a community called Tyrone developed in 1888, and in May 1892 its post office was moved south into the newly designated Beaver County, Oklahoma Territory, near the spur and loading pens. In the 1890s the Tyrone-Shade area provided a major shipping center for herds from five states and territories.
In 1901 the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway officially extended the rail line southwestward across Beaver County. A "new" Tyrone community grew up at the tracks and received a postal designation as Tyrone, Oklahoma Territory, in July 1902, with Hettie A. Duffy as postmaster. Tyrone was the first station south of Liberal. By 1905 the railroad had completed a depot complex, and Tyrone grew rapidly as a shipping point for cattle and grain.
After Beaver County was divided at 1907 statehood, Tyrone was situated in Texas County. By 1909 the town had an estimated population of five hundred, a Baptist and Methodist church, a public school, and a bank. H. L. Huber's general store was one of three patronized by residents. A cotton gin and feed yard were available to area farmers. A brass band and A. J. Hughes's pool hall provided entertainment. The Tyrone Observer printed the news from 1904 through the mid-1940s, after which the Guymon Observer supplanted it. In 1912 the sparsely occupied, four-city-block town had an estimated population of 260, and two grain elevators served the agricultural area. Wheat was the main product, and cattle raising provided additional income. Some oil and gas production developed in the surrounding region in the 1920s. The state legislature approved Tyrone's incorporation in March 1915. The town claimed a trade territory of almost six hundred square miles, from Kansas to the Beaver (North Canadian) River, and by 1927 wheat production kept five elevators busy. The first official census, taken in 1930, recorded 482.
Tyrone's population declined to a low of 257 in 1940, due to the Dust Bowl era drought and the Great Depression, but it rebounded thereafter, reaching 456 in 1960 and peaking at 988 in 1980. During the 1940s and 1950s approximately a dozen businesses still operated, including an elevator. Into the 1990s Tyrone's residents still supported four churches, an elementary school, a high school, and ten retail enterprises. Two oil-field roustabout services and a grain elevator operated there. The Union Pacific provided rail service. In 1990 and 2000 the census recorded 880 inhabitants, but the town grew to 762 by 2010.

Authors & Books
Dagmar Priepke
Dagmar Priepke is a guest and city guide, and has specialized on one specific street, the Braubachstraße. She has worked here for 12 years as the managing director of the Heussenstamm Foundation and the Heussenstamm Gallery (house number 34) until 2019, and even lived there for eight years. A few years ago, she co-initiated the "Interessengemeinschaft Braubachstraße", of which she is the spokesperson. Read more about the author and chronicler and her urban adventures on her website www.dagmar-touren.de.
The Braubachstraße
– an Urban Jewel in Frankfurt
- ca. 240 pages
- Hardcover with ribbon
- richly illustrated
- available in February 2022
The portrait of a big city street? - Yes, but it's not just any street - it's Braubachstrasse in Frankfurt am Main, which Dagmar Priepke narrates and illustrates. She reveals an example of what inner-city neighborhoods and their streets could - and should - look like in the future. And much more:
Dagmar Priepke elaborates on how a special mix of living, working and life, of owner-occupied and rented apartments, of owner-operated restaurants and lovingly designed stores, of art and commerce, of public, semi-public and private space has emerged in this special street that ismore than rich in his history - and how and from what this lively melange lives. Where its exemplary nature lies.
It is a special urban geography, a city history of its own, that weaves and works here between the site of the first democracy movements of 1848 (Paulskirche) and Frankfurt's Römer City Hall, and which the author makes visible with an alert eye for details and structures. And cosmopolitan institutions such as the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels (German Publishers & Booksellers Association), important foundations, the Museum für Moderne Kunst MMK (Museum of Modern Art) and the Fotografie Forum (Photography Forum) also contribute to the significance and vitality of Braubachstrasse. But in addition, of course, all this is brought about by the people who work here and make the street an attractive urban space.
Dagmar Priepke portrays the institutions and people along the Braubachstrasse and shows them in their living spaces and workplaces. And the book with its many anecdotes (this is where the »Frankfurt Pill« was filmed, and where over a million »blossoms« were printed and confiscated in 1927 in the course of the Tscherwonzen Affair - what?) is richly endowed with pictures of Braubachstraße and its residents.

Happy Monday, Friends! Today I was in desperate need of retail therapy after a long morning at the dentist's office. And what better way to celebrate a successful dental procedure than a crown with a crown?
Nothing in this world makes me more white knuckled than going to the dentist. Childhood memories I guess. So, after my visit today and another scheduled for tomorrow I am frazzled. But then I spotted a few crystal chandeliers on our Facebook Marketplace Page and suddenly all is well in my world! Now I can have happy memories of getting a crown because of this:
Doesn't it look like a crown fit for royalty? I found it on the marketplace page for a mere $20. (Truthfully it was a little more, but my husband likes to hear when I get something for $20 and I aim to please.) I think it was meant to be. And it was a quick 20 minute trip to pick it up!
This beauty is a five arm brass and crystal chandelier. It's obvious some of the crystals are missing, but not to worry. I just got in a new batch! (From China I think~via eBay) All it needs is a little cleaning and some tightening of the screws. The placement of the holes lead me to believe there was also some crystal bead garland at one point. I'll play with the size and placement of crystals when I figure out where it goes. Or will go, in the next house.
The chandelier came with this pretty canopy and a few extra crystals. Since we are moving soon, I'll probably tackle this project at a later date. It will go in the chandelier box with the others. The crystals will be labeled and packed separately. (I really need a work shop in our next house!)
To further brighten my spirits, the seller had this one as well. Isn't it sweet? I even like the amber colored crystals.
Here are both of the chandeliers. I plan to do a bit of research and try to find out how old they are etc. It seems there was a period of time where the amber color crystals were an "in" thing.
I am so pleased with my treasures that it makes me not as leery to go back to the dentist tomorrow. Maybe I'll take the smaller one with me for emotional support. I'm sure my dentist won't find that odd at all.
I'm looking forward to finding a new house to decorate! One where we can install and enjoy our chandelier collection. Seriously, I should take an electrical wiring class. I could save us a bundle on switching out fixtures. Meanwhile, I'm still working on the chandeliers that we are leaving behind. I think they are coming along nicely. I'll share them tomorrow!
I hope you have a lovely and pain free day! Thank you for stopping by! xoxo Dell

Hello friends and fiends--
How are we hanging in there during this heat? I know my goth self can't be out in the sun, so I've mostly been camped out in my office with the AC on full blast thinking cool, wintery thoughts and drinking water like I'm a beached siren. Heat exhaustion aside though, something else that I've been doing lately is happily drowning in dark, beautiful poetry. In fact, last month, I exclusively read poetry and I'm here today to share with you one of my favorite reads of the year so far: The Smallest of Bones by Holly Lyn Walrath.
This gorgeous collection is currently available for preorder via Clash Books, and I was lucky enough to read an earlier copy of the book. Here's what I had to say about it: "A striking meditation on the body and its ghosts, this collection is a blossoming of bones and the trauma we hold inside, a gorgeous homage to the fever dreams and nightmares we collect, break, and survive with each and every day."
To chat more about her collection, I have Holly here with me in The Madhouse today. I hope you'll enjoy the following interview and consider picking up a copy of her collection and adding her words to your TBR pile.
Stephanie M. Wytovich
SMW: Tell us about your book. What gave you the idea to create this collection and when did the idea of bones start to speak to you?
HLW: My poetry has always been a place where I work out issues in my head. Essentially, I've often felt trapped in my own body and trapped by society's expectations for that body. Even when you eschew gender, society still places you in a label based on how you look, and that perception goes bone-deep. While I identify as a woman, my awareness of what that means has changed over the years. Most of the poems in the book are short, concentrated meditations on relationships, the body, and self-image. Something about the conciseness of the poems made it easier for me to talk about difficult topics.
SMW: Can you give us an insight into your writing process and how you structured this collection?
HLW: In 2018 a series of science articles got attention in the news around the topics of neurosexism and biological determination—fancy words that explain the belief that women and men are inherently different, down to even differences in their brains and as deep as their bones. I started reading old anatomy books and studying the so-called biological differences in the bones of men and women, which lead to the "spine" of The Smallest of Bones—poems titled after different bones in the body and how those bones differ between the sexes, according to science and pseudoscience. It's not to say that those biological differences don't exist, but to ask whether how we interpret them needs re-examining.
SMW: One of my favorite things about horror (especially horror poetry) is that is allows us to champion and explore our shadow selves. One image that really stood out to me in the book contained the following lines: "I sink myself in the river at dawn/ your words are the stones/ in my pockets." Can you talk a little bit about how you explore the darker parts of yourself or human nature in your poetry? And do you find this approach to writing to be cathartic?
HLW: I'm glad you noted this line because it references the death of Virginia Woolf, who committed suicide by weighing her pockets with stones and wading out into the River Ouse near her home in Sussex. I've always been drawn to women writers who committed suicide, like Sylvia Plath, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and Anne Sexton. These women were seen as great forebearers for the feminist writing movement, but they also showcase how deeply troubled confessional modes of writing can be. I think for women writers, it's difficult to find peace in writing. We're always wresting our creative selves away from some other responsibility. The shadow self becomes the writer self. Writing about the dark things can be cathartic, but it can also be a great weight to bear.
SMW: There are a lot of nods to body horror within the collection. Can you speak to what draws you to that subgenre, and talk a little bit about how you worked to evoke that type of imagery within your poetry?
HLW: Body horror has always been one of my favorite subgenres of horror. One of my favorite horror movies as a kid was The Fly (1986). I remember watching it and being unable to look away. For me, the genre is inextricably tied to feminism. Women's bodies go through terrifying transformations. There's blood and tearing, and assault, and violence. When the movie Teeth (2008) came out, I was stoked to see a movie about the weird toxicity our society projects onto normal sexuality. As a Baptist church kid, I grew up being taught that sex and reproduction are taboo. It ain't polite, but it makes good horror.
SMW: I noticed that there was religious imagery throughout prayers, burnings, sacrifice references to various iconography and afterlives (ghosts, demons, etc). Was this something that you intentionally planned to incorporate throughout, or was this more organic to other themes in the book that dealt with topics like trauma, sickness, etc.?
HLW: I think my work is always drawing on some kind of religious imagery just because I grew up Baptist, going to church and Sunday School. I was baptized twice—that's how Baptist I was. It's not intentional, but it always seems to make its way in. The church has a lot of weird baggage and was a source of trauma for me growing up. I remember our church used to do stigmata reenactments for youth group—putting ink on our hands and foreheads, having us wear fake crowns of thorns—to make us "feel" what Christ went through at his crucifixion. I must have been about 12 or 13. That kind of shit stays with you. Ghosts and demons are a natural progression from discussions of the body—either in non-corporeal or in possessed form—as a focus point for emotions like grief or lust. In some ways, the spooks feel safer to me than the real world. At least I know what to expect from them.
SMW: How did you come to writing and who are some of your influences?
HLW: I started writing poems in high school at the height of my teen angst stage. Poetry was always a release and a safe place for me to work out my emotions. It wasn't until I could become a freelancer that I actually had time to write more. I was always interested in writers who received acclaim after their deaths—like Emily Dickinson and Herman Melville (still not as well known for his poems). I have too many influences to name them all, but I love the work of Ursula K. Le Guin, Fernando Pessoa, Walt Whitman, Amelia Grey, Audre Lorde, Rita Dove, Nnedi Okorafor, and Ken Liu.
SMW: What books are sitting in your TBR pile?
HLW: Exhalation by Ted Chiang, I'm Waiting for You by Bo-Young Kim, Dearly by Margaret Atwood, The Hidden Girl by Ken Liu
SMW: What is next in store for your readers?
HLW: I'm currently working on a book of queer poems set in the 90s and drawing on pop culture like The Craft, Buffy, My So-Called Life, Dirty Dancing, and Chasing Amy. I'm sure it will be just as weird, queer, and dear as people are used to reading from me. I'm also hoping to start up a new Instapoetry series on serial killers.
SMW: What's one poetry stereotype or cliché that actually fits you perfectly?
HLW: "Poets like flowers and the moon" – Okay, but flowers and the moon are beautiful, people. More moon-flower poems, please. I'll stop writing about peonies when I'm dead.
SMW: What advice do you have for writers working in poetry?
HLW: I think the best writing advice is to just do what you love. Love what you write, write what you love. The biggest advocate for your work is you. It's hard when you're writing something that's personal, and I get that, but no one else is going to as passionate about your work as you are. If you're doing the thing because you love it, then nothing can hold you back.

"Between stars and shards of bone, Holly Lyn Walrath invites the reader to build a skeleton with her words, to get lost between the dark spaces of curved ribs. The Smallest of Bones offers so much within each poem -- here, we wander beneath the moon and speak with ghosts; we transform under the night sky and haunt our own minds as the words encourage us to strip back the skin and expose rawness and vulnerability. A beautiful collection!"--Sara Tantlinger, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Devil's Dreamland
"A striking meditation on the body and its ghosts, this collection is a blossoming of bones and the trauma we hold inside, a gorgeous homage to the fever dreams and nightmares we collect, break, and survive with each and every day."--Stephanie M. Wytovich, author of The Apocalyptic Mannequin
In "the smallest of bones", blood, bones, skin, and flesh are placed on the sacrificial altar as an offering to the gods, beautifully laid out to represent life's journey: love, identity, volition, pain, destruction, and finally, enlightenment.
Raw, visceral, and powerful, each word in Walrath's poems is selected with the care of a surgeon for the perfect incision. It is a journey we all walk and this is its handbook. —Christina Sng, Bram Stoker award winning author of A Collection of Nightmares

Third time is a charm for Punchestown today with a meeting that has been postponed twice, We are sticking to our guns with the selections from those days, augmented by one from Scotland…
The Daily Yankee
NAP OF THE DAY: NAP OF THE DAY: Cheb De Kerviniou, (1445 Punchestown), 1pt win, 7/1:
Conditions will be tough for this Punchestown marathon. That may suit Gordon Elliot's recent French import Cheb De Kerviniou. He ran very well on Irish debut but we rightfully opposed him with Rocky's Silver when Cheb was a disappointing 3rd next time. We are switching horses, partly price driven, partly ground driven, and when we see the supremely talented Rachel Blackmore riding off just 10st 5lb in a marathon race, well that's too good a chance to resist.
Neverrushacon, (1345 Punchestown), 11/4: Previously top class Yanworth could be worth opposing at odds on. He was a bit unreliable in recent seasons and we're not buying his renaissance in this cross country discipline. His win here in November could provide the form line though as Neverrushacon was narrowly beaten there and gets a handy 9lbs pull in the weights. Big outsider Ars Na Carraig could outrun his huge odds.
Dr Hooves, (1635 Musselburgh), 7/2: not the strongest staying chase and a good chance that in form top weight Dr Hooves can outclass the opposition. Probably the least exposed after just 9 career starts and only 2 over fences. Left a debut last of 4 well behind by springing a surprise here recently. Did well to get up late on in a close finish that day having looked beaten and that attitude puts him well ahead of most of these who have long been battered into routine submission.
Ask Mary, (1650 Punchestown), 5/1: most of these are stepping back from fences to hurdles, many off what look like appealing lower marks. That said, they have mostly earned those lower ratings through failure. Ask Mary is making that move, but she has decent hurdles form as recently as November, and she can go close if able to reproduce that against this weak opposition.

Starting May 1st, the Benton Police Department will be conducting a traffic enforcement and education initiative, "Drive safely or your MAY get a ticket." The focus of this program will be conducting traffic enforcement in high traffic areas in conjunction with the Click or Ticket program going on. Additionally, we will be putting out informative press releases and social media postings to help educate people about safe driving practices.
One of the top things we've noticed is that distracted driving is a big problem. By distracted it can encompass the obvious culprits such as cell phones and the radio, but it can be any range of actions that lead you to take your eyes off of the road even briefly. This includes, but isn't limited to, putting make-up on, eating, or something as simple as changing the radio.
Distracted driving can cause a wide range of unsafe conditions such as swerving in traffic lanes or not seeing obstacles in the way until it's too late. One issue we see very often are rear-end collisions at yield signs when the vehicle behind the one yielding mistakenly thinks the other one has proceeded forward when in reality they haven't, thus leading to an accident. It only takes another second to avoid these types of accidents from occurring, and will also save a lot of time and money in the long run.
Another issue we will be addressing is speeding enforcement, especially in areas with higher accident rates. Speeding has been demonstrated to be a contributing factor in almost 1/3 of all fatal car crashes in the US. This includes not just excessive speeding, but also driving too fast for road conditions. One common misconception is that if the speed limit is 45 MPH that you can still do that in a torrential downpour of rain and still be within the law. Actually, if the conditions are that unsafe then you should decrease your speed accordingly and also leave additional travel distance between vehicles.
One message we are trying to convey is that defensive driving is probably the best course of action to adopt when out on the roadways. By defensive driving we are referring to watching out for careless driving on the parts of other drivers in addition to taking actions such as leaving more travel distance between you and the car in front of you or yielding to others even when it's questionable who has the right of way. Not only is defensive driving safer, it can help you save money by avoiding accidents altogether.
Another action you can take to protect you and your family is something that only takes an extra few seconds; buckle up. Seat belts save over 13,000 lives every year in the U.S. alone and is probably the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash.
Nationally, from 2004 to 2008, seat belts saved over 75,000 lives, which is enough to fill a large professional sports arena. Out of the total number of fatality accidents that took place in 2010 in Arkansas, 59 percent of those killed in the accident were not wearing their seatbelt.
When it comes to juveniles and young adults the numbers are even worse. Of the fatality accidents in Arkansas involving young adults 16 to 20, 3 out of 4 were not wearing their seatbelts when the accident took place. Nationally, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for young adults 16 to 20 years old.
During a crash, being buckled up helps keep you safe and secure inside your vehicle, whereas being completely thrown out of a vehicle is almost always fatal. Seat belts are the best defense against impaired, aggressive, and distracted drivers that you can take. If the national seat belt usage rate went up to 90 percent from the current 85 percent (2012) it would prevent an estimated 5,536 fatalities, 132,670 injuries and save the nation approximately $8.8 billion annually.
The added enforcement action is being taken with the goal of raising awareness about the dangers of breaking traffic laws and ultimately saving lives. We want to encourage people to slow down and arrive safely at their destinations, but if they don't they very well MAY receive a ticket.
The ultimate goal of this initiative is not to write more citations. Instead, we will hopefully be able to encourage everyone to drive safer and alter their driving mentality towards a defensive style. We hope that by taking an enforcement and education approach we'll be able to reduce the number of accidents we see and that everyone can arrive safely to their destinations. Stay safe out there.

Development and Appraisal of Long-Term Adaptation Pathways for Managing Heat-Risk in London
Fig. 1. Integrated adaptation planning framework (Kingsborough et al., 2016).
Posted byKathryn Braddock
The risk of residential overheating and mortality is increasing due to the effects of global warming and the urban heat island effect and needs to be addressed through climate change adaptation. 'Adaptation pathways' have become widely recognized as an adaptation planning approach, but they have not been utilized for long-term planning for city-scale urban heat risk management. This paper applies adaptation pathway methodology to urban heat risk management. We use spatially coherent downscaled probabilistic climate change projections that account for changes in urban-land cover and the urban heat island to appraise adaptation pathways and inform long-term adaptation planning. We demonstrate that adaptation strategies focusing solely on urban greening or building level adaptation based on current best practice are unlikely to cope with the increasing levels of risk. Air-conditioning may play a growing role in managing heat-risk; however, increasing air-conditioning will exacerbate the urban heat island and further increase the risks of overheating.

mission & vision
simple church | simply christ
a SIMPLE CHURCH is about four things
We believe that the inspired word of God is without error in everything it teaches and is the supreme rule authority for faith and practice and contains all truth either explicitly or implicitly necessary for our salvation and spiritual life. So, we are committed to its faithful and accurate interpretation and presentation in everything we preach, teach and apply.
We believe that worship is first and foremost a lifestyle of expressing God's worth in how we live. As those created in God's image, we assign the highest value to our creator and worship God alone through Jesus Christ. We also see worship as a corporate event where we gather together as a family of faith to praise and glorify our Triune God, as prescribed in the scriptures, through the singing and preaching of the word, through prayer and the regular observance of the Lord's supper and baptism.
worship minded
We believe that prayer is the language of grace and the means by which we have a personal relationship with God. Prayer is the practice of being in God's presence. It's where pride is abandoned, adoration is lifted, confessions are made and requests are presented. It's where we humble ourselves and claim dependence upon God. We believe prayer powerfully and effectively changes things so we are committed to praying both as individuals and as a church.
We believe that the church is a family of faith located in a larger community without faith and therefore, has obligations and opportunities to both. We are committed to equip our own people to make disciples, through Christian education, fellowship, service and outreach. We are committed to be a blessing and resource to the wider community around us, reflecting Christ through service and outreach that many may not only see Christ in us but embrace Him as their Lord and Savior.
a SIMPLy christ CHURCH is about one thing
As a Simply Christ church, we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man and that salvation is through Him alone, by faith alone, through grace alone. Apart from Him there is no salvation. We also believe that Christ is the head of His church and so as professing believers and as a particular church, in everything we think, say and do we do so to magnify and glorify Jesus Christ and build his church.

El Salvador purchases 80 additional BTC at $19,000 each
El Salvador bought 80 additional bitcoins earlier today at a price of $19,000 each, according to a tweet from the Central American country's president Nayib Bukele.
"Bitcoin is the future!" Bukele tweeted. "Thank you for selling cheap," he added, followed by a winking emoji. The president also shared images showing what appears to be a list of purchases for 1 bitcoin each at the $19,000 price, with timestamps indicating the purchases occurred earlier this morning.
Bukele has tweeted several times about the country's bitcoin purchases since El Salvador made the cryptocurrency legal tender last September. In May, he announced that the country purchased 500 BTC at an average price of ~$30,744.
Based on the various purchase announcements Bukele has made so far on Twitter, it appears that El Salvador has bought at least 2,381 bitcoins to date. However, the country's current bitcoin balance has not been confirmed through other means.
While El Salvador has indicated that it is holding onto its bitcoin purchases, the country's finance minister Alejandro Zelaya said in early June that the country had previously sold a part of its bitcoin to fund the Chivo Pets pet hospital, but that it is keeping the coins it is purchasing now. Last October, Bukele said the country was not selling any bitcoin for the project, indicating that Chivo Pets would be funded by a surplus in a government trust fund due to the rising value of bitcoin.

Follow the Fizz on Twitter for the latest SU football news
3-star commit Andrejas Duerig started his high school career at Lowell High in Indiana playing tight end. He then emerged as a guard, and now that he has transferred to Mount Carmel High School (Chicago, Illinois) for his senior season he will play there and also feature at multiple positions on the defensive line. At Syracuse, the Orange coaches want him to give the center position a try.
Duerig did not know of the SU coaching staff'Äôs plans until he came to Syracuse for his first unofficial visit. He has not played center since his middle school days, but the Syracuse coaches are confident that the 6'Äô4″, 272-pound offensive lineman will be able to make the transition because of his athleticism. Duerig believes he will take reps at center in practice at Mount Carmel, which will provide him with an opportunity to work on his shotgun snap. If he progresses with his mechanics now, he will hopefully be able to develop a strong chemistry with Terrell Hunt'Äôs successor at SU in the future.
In two years, when Duerig will be a freshman, the projected Syracuse center for next season, John Miller, will have graduated. The only other center on the roster in two years time will be senior Jason Emerich. The job should be Emerich's to lose, but even if he is not ready, Duerig will most likely sit out as a freshman. Ideally, Syracuse will get three solid years out of Duerig at center.
The Mount Carmel senior expects more scholarship offers to come in the next few months. Even if that is the case, Duerig is firmly committed to playing football at Syracuse. The Orange should have no problem holding on to its sixth 3-star recruit for 2015 (via scout.com).

You spelled readers wrong in your title. :)

Dear TORAIZ Team,
I can imagine how hard you are working to bring out new features. So I mean it without any disrespect when I say that the documentation that comes with it has many small errors. If you need proof readers before new releases feel free to ask. I do a lot of writing and proof reading for my work. I'm not saying I can make your documentation absolutely perfect but I can help eliminate some of the errors.
Post is closed for comments.

We are 16 days from opening day but I haven't really been able to do much by way of season preview. PBA, potential expansion and a very full party season have been dominating my time but just today I took the trophy in to get another panel on for LOS, and another level on it for the next 4 champs. I have done my preseason top-20 but we have also had a flurry of very late moves that shakes that up. We have Pud's Taxi rejoining the league! So much.
Before the season launches I will get up one post about all the offseason moves, release at least the top 20 rankings (probably won't be able to season previews for all the teams), and a few other odds and ends.
See you all soon BoPo!
