Delight Cemetery
T15N R24E SEC 10 Contributed by Fred Pflugrath
Last updated 2016.
The cemetery is located in Adams County and was established in 1890. It is located just off the intersection of State Hwy 26 (Othello to Washtucna) and State Hwy 21 (Lind to Kahlotus) in the northeast section of the X. The cemetery is approximately 4 acres in size. It does not have water, so by the fall, the grass and weeds are getting tall. The cemetery was walked 7 Mar 2013 and visited again in June 2014.
The cemetery was started in 1890. The town was about 1 mile north of the cemetery. An entry in the listing of cemeteries for Adams County tells of the cemetery in the yard of the Christian Church that was 1 3/4 miles north of the Levi Sutton place. That may be the present Delight Cemetery. Levi Sutton is buried in the Michigan Prairie Cemetery east of Hatton and near the Morgan holdings in Sand Hills].

Home Blog REAL ESTATE IN AN UNREAL WORLD
This article was recently published in the San Francisco Chronicle. We thought it would be great to share this with those who frequent our virtual tour company blog as it reflects the growing desire for us to experience 3D walkthrough like technology and 3D animations. Recently the Real Tour Vision 3D department has been very busy working on many new projects with our 3D Animation crew. Some of our current work may be seen on our 3D walkthrough page of our website. Enjoy the article and remember that the Real Tour Vision Animators are industry best!
San Francisco Chronicle
By Tom Geller, Special to The Chronicle
The weather is perfect for an open house. The listing agent greets you at the door and you enter the clean, rambling home, its lofty rooms done tastefully in muted cream with brown accents. Touring upstairs, you remark to a winged white tigress that the bathroom would look better with colored lighting; she touches a panel on the wall to make the change, considers, then agrees.
This isn't Narnia; it's Second Life, a virtual world where more than 1.5 million "residents" use computers to control graphic representations of themselves and interact with others as they wander through realistic landscapes that other residents have created.
The game's large audience has attracted real-world businesses, such as Circuit City, Toyota and Sears, that attempt to attract customers to their Web sites by "building" stores in Second Life.
Now, Second Life is a venue for selling another big-ticket item: homes.
The appearance of real-world home models in online worlds such as Second Life acknowledges that Americans are spending more time in virtual spaces that go beyond the Web. Sites such as Realtor.com already provide home buyers with basic property details, photos, and occasional movies of prospective properties. But immersive, 3-D online experiences such as Second Life, Google Earth and Google SketchUp go further by allowing visitors to fly over the city, stroll around the neighborhood, and even walk in the front door – without leaving the computer keyboard.
Last month, a Seattle-area Coldwell Banker office created a virtual model of a real-world 5,700-square-foot new home on Mercer Island, listed for a little more than $3 million. While several real estate companies have used Second Life to advertise their services, this is believed to be the first time a real home has been available for touring in this environment. Listing agent Suzanne Lane ("Suzanne Ibanez" in Second Life) said she's been happy with the response.
"We've had tremendous interest. About 3,700 people have come in and walked around, including quite a few who are capable of buying this level of home," she said. "It's a property that does command a worldwide market, so we're really excited about this new avenue because it's more worldwide."
She's still not sure whether Second Life will ultimately help her sell the house. However, she's optimistic about the project as a general marketing tool. "I've fielded quite a few questions from people who say they're potential buyers," she said. "The actual home is sort of a launch pad for more information."
The real-world house was left unstaged, its empty rooms devoid of furniture, art, and the cliche breakfast tray in the master bedroom. The home's Second Life version could have been filled with such homey touches at a tiny fraction of the cost of a real-world staging, but Charlie Young, Coldwell Banker's senior vice president of marketing explained why it isn't.
"We made a decision to represent it exactly as it exists in the real world," said Young, who is known as Spuds Carter in the virtual world. "Even the handles on the kitchen cabinets are the same. If you look out the back window, it's the real view. Just because you're not actually in the listing doesn't mean you can't experience what it's like."
The Mercer Island home is part of a larger strategy for Coldwell Banker, which opened its Second Life office in March and revealed that it had secretly been buying virtual property for development and resale.

We couldn't have imagined a more amazing honeymoon! We chose a private Casita with a beautiful view of the beach, ocean, and extremely well kept landscaping. The Casita was so clean and private and was
amazingly beautiful and unique with a hammock on the front porch for enjoying paradise and its cool evening breezes. We were there at the start of the rainy season (early June) but couldn't have asked for better weather. Most days were sunny and beautiful with storms that would blow in at night or for a few minutes late in the day, just enough time for an afternoon snooze in their amazingly comfortable beds or a drink or two at happy hour in the beachfront bar!
The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating, and the room was cleaned every day. The
pools are amazing, the beach is beautiful, and the water is crystal clear – snorkeling is a MUST. Unbelievable coral and marine life (we saw TWO beautiful sea turtles), and we even swam with and held nurse sharks! The dive shop provides everything you need for your excursions and is so helpful. They planned everything for our day trip to the mainland for a hike through the Mayan Ruins as well, and it couldn't have been more incredible. A 30 minute jumper flight and an hour boat ride took us thousands of years back in time.
Ohhh, what else can I rave about?! So many unbelievable moments spent in Belize. Definitely rent a golf cart, drive into town, walk around the local shops, and eat at El Fogon. Try their Salbutes and mango margaritas – you won't regret it. Speaking of food… Victoria House has a professional chef on staff, and the food. is. spectacular. Make a reservation out on the deck for a romantic, moonlit dinner. Complimentary breakfast by the pool overlooking the water was a favorite as well – homemade jams and muffins, fresh fruit, strawberry and mango yogurt with granola, amazing coffee… mm I could go on and on.
I will end with this: we looked at many resorts on San Pedro, and I am confident we picked the best one. It is a beautiful, quaint resort with tons of amenities but without the crowds. At times we even felt like we had the beach all to ourselves! So quiet and peaceful. You will not regret a trip to Victoria House. It truly is paradise. And we can't WAIT to go back for an anniversary!!!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Deandre Burnett scored 16 of his 23 points in the first half, and Mississippi beat 14th-seeded Missouri 86-74 Thursday night at the Southeastern Conference Tournament.
The Rebels (20-12), the six seed, won their fourth in five games trying to improve their postseason resume. They simply wore down Missouri a night after the Tigers upset Auburn to give one last victory to coach Kim Anderson, whose firing was announced last weekend.
Ole Miss traipsed to the free throw line early and often as three Tigers fouled out, finishing with more free throws (31 of 47) than Missouri made field goals (26 of 61). Sebastian Saiz, who had his SEC-best 20th double-double by halftime, finished with 14 points and 16 rebounds. Terence Davis added 19.

Avon Mayor: Town of Avon moving forward in a positive direction (column)
Valley Voices
Summer has arrived in Avon. The first concert of the season, Pop Up Strings, took place Monday, May 28, on the lakeside patio of the Performance Pavilion. Roughly 100 people on the patio, lawn and stand-up paddleboards enjoyed the Touch of Class String Quartet's rendition of classical, rock and pop tunes while soaking up the sun and spectacular views.
The feeling of summer and the respite it provides permeated the air, with locals and visitors of all ages listening to the concert and playing on the beach, the soccer fields and the new Jump/Splash/Learn playground. What an excellent start to Avon's summer season.
So, what else is going on in Avon? Synonymous with summer in Colorado is roadwork. Our local version is the paving and redesign of West Beaver Creek Boulevard. Access to the Avon Post Office takes a little extra maneuvering and patience, so please bear with us as we create a safer, more beautiful pedestrian- and bike-friendly environment with wider sidewalks, clearly marked crossings and new landscaping. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
Avon's summer calendar is full of old favorites and new events, from yoga to beer and everything between. Free yoga by the lake has already returned to the pavilion terrace in Harry A. Nottingham Park on Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. running through Aug. 25.
Coming up Friday, June 22, and Saturday, June 23, is the third annual Cover Rock music festival, featuring the country's best cover bands. This ticketed event will bring iconic American rock 'n' roll to our stage with its "Made in America" theme. Be there for the music of The Doors, Tom Petty, The Allman Brothers and Bruce Springsteen, to name a few.
New events to add to your summer fun list include the Lake Street Market, brought to us by Avon locals Derek George and Kerri Thelen and their company Lettuce Patch Productions. Lake Street will come alive Wednesday evenings from June 20 to Sept. 12 with a farmers market that is a celebration of history, art, food, drink and music, with kids' activities and unique items you won't find elsewhere.
Also new for June is the inaugural Vail Valley Brew Fest, which we will welcome to Nottingham Park on Saturday, June 30.
Nottingham Lake now features a 50-meter, Olympic-length dedicated swim lane. Longer than other lap lanes in the area, it provides fresh-water practice for recreational and competitive athletes all summer long. For details about all our summer events, visit the "Special Events" page at http://www.avon.org.
The town is working hard to implement changes that support its Climate Action Plan.
On May 1, marked the elimination of the availability of plastic bags in all retail and restaurant establishments in Avon. Shoppers in Avon are changing habits and getting used to bringing bags to all of the stores in addition to the grocery store.
Council has scheduled a work session on waste and recycling for Tuesday, June 26, to discuss whether containers made from polystyrene should be banned from the town due to its recycling challenges. The Zagster bike-sharing program introduced last fall is being expanded with three more bike stations.
The town is in solid financial shape. At the close of our last fiscal year, the town's governmental funds were up $939,462 from the prior year. While property tax collections were down due to a mill rate decrease tied to debt obligations paid off in 2016, the overall net position of the town increased by $83,704.
The Avon Town Council is always seeking feedback. Public input is welcome at council meetings held the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. The meeting schedule, agendas and meeting materials are available at http://www.avon.org.
Summer Coffee with Council events will take place on a handful of Saturdays throughout the summer: June 16, July 7 and Aug. 11 from 10 to 11 a.m. on the Pavilion Patio following the free yoga sessions. Another opportunity to provide input is our community survey, which will be distributed this summer to Avon residents, property owners and businesses. Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey to help the council understand what is going well and what could use attention.
Avon is moving forward in a positive direction, taking advantage of many of the endless possibilities that exist in the town.
Jennie Fancher is the mayor of Avon.

The Privacy Commissioner's office is in touch with Telstra after yesterday's fire in northern Sydney saw text messages sent to the wrong numbers.
SMS messages were delivered to strangers after the Chatswood exchange fire disrupted the Telstra network nationally, forcing the telco to shut down the service.
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, which includes the privacy commissioner, confirmed Telstra had notified them of the potential privacy problem.
"We will remain in contact with Telstra as they continue to respond to the situation," said an OAIC spokesperson. He urged Telstra customers with concerns about the whereabouts of their personal information to contact the OAIC.
Messaging services were restored progressively last night, and the telco's CEO Andy Penn labelled the incident "extraordinarily unusual" and that the system was switched off to safeguard customer privacy.
"I've never known that to happen before," he said. "Some SMS messages were corrupted, which resulted in potentially some of those going to the incorrect address."
"It's very disappointing for our customers, I just want to just acknowledge the impact that would have had on a number of our customers and apologise for that."
While social media was full of examples of comical messages sent to complete strangers, some users raised concerns about two-factor authentication texts going to the wrong people.
Two-factor authentication is used by companies like banks and Google to send out a code via SMS as an extra layer of online protection on top of passwords.
Still getting calls at work from people still not getting messages via @Telstra, plus they're getting bank security SMS for other people…
— Mike Daniel (@mickinnsw) February 2, 2017
Thought I wasn't affected by the #Telstra outage… then I tried two-factor authentication. No text messages here, folks.

Behavioral Economics – How
Your Customers Make Decisions
Understanding and Leveraging Customer Decision-Making.
The relationship between man and business is complex. In the business world, rational decision-making and compelling argumentation are valued and the goal is to make numbers bigger and bigger. But there is more to human beings than the rational side. How can companies and brands benefit from consumer irrationality?
Some people smoke themselves into the grave, despite knowing better and having been warned. Big projects regularly fail despite having optimal resources. Populations choose leaders who bring chaos and destruction to the world. People should really know better. The good news is that even irrational behavior operates according to a certain system. And that is something brands and companies can make use of.
Behavioral Economics: Understanding decision-making processes
Behavioral Economics is a discipline which for some years now has been seen as holding great potential. The leading figures in the field include Daniel Kahneman and Richard Thaler, both recipients of a Nobel prize in recent years for their work, which has been more than enthusiastically received.
The two have developed models based on psychological insights which render human irrationality predictable. Man makes mistakes, and that's good news for corporate number crunchers working in top management and R&D because he (she) makes them systematically!
Thinking, Fast and Slow
In his bestselling book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman outlines a theory that our way of thinking in comprised of two fundamentally different systems:
System 1 is fast, unconscious and automatic. It requires virtually no effort, and is often triggered by emotional reflex. For example, System 1 knows what 2 + 2 is. It can recognize anger in a person's voice. It makes us grimace when we see something disgusting.
System 2 performs conscious thinking in which one's full attention is required and multi-tasking is impossible. In contrast to System 1, it is strenuous to use, controlled, slow and deliberate. System 2 is deployed when we try to calculate 14 × 21, when we regulate our behavior in social situations and when are filling out our tax return. It's what we generally call our 'conscious', 'rational' thinking.
Why considering things is not always practical
One complicating factor in this scheme is that the two systems are often mutually influencing. Interestingly, System 1 generally has the upper hand, because our bodies try to save energy by employing the automatic System 1 whenever possible. This sensible approach usually works out quite well. We would not have come far as a species if we first had to make a PowerPoint presentation of the options at hand when faced with a saber-toothed tiger. You might think the world would be a better place if we weighed every word, but it's just not practical.
Most of our thoughts flow automatically, and our actions are in fact often 'justified' by our conscious System 2 after the fact. A classic example is making a spontaneous, compulsive purchase that we later rationalize. How many SUV drivers are there, for example, who go around explaining to their friends how safe, useful and simply indispensable their vehicle is. Rarely are status, luxury or psychological compensation cited in such conversations.
Nudging the buyer
What are the implications for brands and marketeers? Put simply, people can be 'nudged' into making certain decisions and engaging in certain behaviors that are in the interest of specific parties.
There are three well-known marketing tactics based on behavioral economics that have found their culmination in the age of e-commerce: urgency, scarcity and free samples/trial periods. These kinds of offers emphasize potential losses rather than potential gains, exploiting people's innate risk aversion, the risk in this case being the possibility of missing out on something (aka 'loss aversion'). Amazon, for example, displays a countdown clock ("ends in x minutes") on Prime Day, and other online retailers call attention to product availability ("only x left"). These moves trigger loss aversion among customers by setting a time frame for action in a way that makes the consequences of inaction more motivating than if the benefits were simply communicated. The customer can also be nudged to buy by offering a free trial period, a frequent practice employed by Spotify, Netflix and Sky. What starts with a way to avoid missing out turns prospects into future buyers. This has to do with the endowment effect—a behavioral economics concept according to which people tend to value things more simply by virtue of owning them. Once you own a service (which you may have used a lot in anticipation of the trial period running out), you are more likely to not want to go without it.
The decoy tactic
Another example of behavioral economics theory in practical use in marketing is the British weekly magazine The Economist. Potential subscribers originally were given two options ('online only' for $56 and 'online and print' for $125). The broad majority were taking for the first option so the publisher introduced a 'decoy' option (Bateman, Munro, & Poe, 2008): 'print only' for $125. All of a sudden the $125 'online and print' option looked more attractive, as customers now thought they were getting the online version for free. Introducing a similar but less attractive third option enhanced the proposition for the formerly less popular option. This works because consumers have an incredibly faulty understanding of the actual worth of goods and services, and thus often make choices based on what is offered rather than strictly on their own preferences.
Behavioral economics: The occasional suspension of reason
The examples discussed above show how behavioral economics insights can be used to nudge consumers in a particular direction. But behavioral economics is not magic, obviously, for despite all the heuristics and cognitive bias talked about in the discipline, it must not be forgotten that we sometimes do act and decide rationally, so human behavior and decision-making are extremely complex. It is thus unlikely that a single little nudge is all it takes to get the desired result. The growing interest in behavioral economics however is due to an increasing fascination with mankind being revealed to be less rational at times than we would like to admit. And possibly in part because it injects jazzy pop psychology into the dismal science of economics.
If you haven't get enough of the subject yet,
here are two classic books by Nobel Prize-winning behavioral economists:
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness (2009)
by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein
Citing numerous examples, the work presents the idea of 'Libertarian Paternalism'—how it not only possible but also legitimate for private and public institutions to affect behavior through psychology in the interest of better decision-making. A noble ideal, but the book and author are not uncontroversial because the line between well-intentioned nudging and manipulation is such a fine one. Some of the case studies like the one on retirement planning are a bit dry, but overall it's an interesting read.
Thinking, Fast And Slow (2012)
by Daniel Kahneman
This book has been an international bestseller for years, and for good reason. It's title succinctly and cleverly characterizes a simple yet important insight of the psychologist Kahneman into the mind of man. While not always light reading, readers will get enriching insights into their own minds—and the work even concludes with a description of how to die happy.
