Braham Pie Day - Braham was named the "Homemade Pie Capital of Minnesota" by Governor Rudy Perpich in 1990. In the 1930s and 1940s, Braham started becoming known for their pie, when people driving from the Twin Cities to their lake homes near Duluth started stopping at Braham's Park Cafe for pie and coffee.

International Traffic Light Day - 1914, what is considered to be the first electric traffic light was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, at the corner of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue. It had four pairs of red and green lights, one for each side of the intersection, and a warning buzzer that indicated when the light was about to change. It had to be operated manually by someone in a nearby booth.

From WENY-TV - An Elmira educator has turned a classroom lesson into a published children's book.
Jessica Janowsky said about four years ago, she developed the lesson as part of some social-emotional learning work she was doing with her students.
"They were having some trouble letting things go, that had happened months and months and months past. And at that time I was teaching yoga and mindfulness as part of a pilot program on social emotional learning (SEL). And every time they came to see me, came into my space to work on being mindful, they kept bringing up these issues that happened months [in the past]. And I was like 'you guys, you need to let this go, you need to let this go.' So I decided they really needed some lessons on forgiveness and working together," Janowsky said.
She said she created a story that aimed to show students that they can look past their differences, forgive each other and work together in a way that benefits both sides. The students got involved in developing the lesson's, using their own imaginations to build out the story and how it would look.
It's on sale now, look for "A Mountain's Wisdom: The Slate and the Granite."
Jessica will be holding a book signing event at Barnes and Noble in Consumer Square Plaza on County Route 64 in Big Flats from 11AM - 1PM on Saturday, August 6th

I recently encountered Hershey's Chocolate Perfume and lip gloss, and now the biggest name in casual dining Applebee's has teamed up with the makeup brand Winky Lux for a limited-edition collection of four lip glosses inspired by Applebee's chicken wing sauces.
And yes, the resulting Saucy Glosses are apparently tinged with a bit of wing flavor and spice.
Get Me Hot Buffalo, described as a "creamy coral" that packs "hot buffalo spice." Sweet Chile Kiss is colored a "deep rich red kissed with a hint of fine golden chile specks." Be My Honey Pepper is described as "a gorgeous golden honey-spiced gloss with shimmering flecks." Finally, Honey BBQ-T is "a shiny, smoky barbecue hue with a side of honey sweetness."
