Those being evaluated are not provided with specific individuals' answers. The service's privacy ensures that a sufficient number of answers will be received and that results will be reliable. For companies that want to standardise development measures, the 360 assessment and feedback method offers a straightforward, streamlined process as well as a personalised development approach that provides concrete benefits for all employees.
Feedback is reviewed with a psychology consultant, who helps customers understand the results of the survey and turn them into a concrete action plan to support personal development.
Cresco's 360 measurement method emphasises a psychological viewpoint about the most important personal factors related to success at work. The support of a psychology consultant in drawing up a development plan and turning feedback into actions is important when a change is truly desired. Expertise particularly in organisation and occupational psychology is well-suited for personal development. It combines knowledge of dependencies in the business world with an understanding of how individuals perform best in a given environment, as well as how they can adapt their approaches and build success based on their own strengths and goals.


We have so many relatives that we see over the holidays it is just not reasonable to buy gifts for everyone! But it isn't too hard to mass-produce yummy treats! You could just buy some and wrap them in cute bags, but when you make them yourself and wrap them yourself it is a nicer touch that anyone will appreciate.
Every Christmas my mom makes chocolate-covered pretzels as gifts, so I made chocolate-dipped Oreos and graham crackers! And then added sprinkles.
Some turned out kind of ugly, but they were still TASTY!
If I did it again, I would just stick with Oreos; perhaps an assortment of Vanilla and Mint.
I found cute reindeer bags and added a tag, jinglebell and ribbon. To make the tags I just cut out the shapes from cardstock paper, punched a hole in the end for the ribbon, stuck a Christmas sticker on one side and addressed the other.


SYDNEY - Qantas passengers on Wi-Fi enabled domestic flights will be able to watch their favourite shows, avoid missing out on live sport and listen to almost any song they like, with Foxtel, Netflix and Spotify coming on board to provide content in 2017. Long haul flights will follow the lead mid-2017.
FORT WORTH - With the improvement of satellite-based systems American sees no need to offer seat-back IFE screens on its Boeing 737 MAX fleet. "More than 90 percent of our passengers already bring a device or screen with them when they fly," American informed its staff about its decision.
LONDON - Gogo will equip 118 British Airways aircraft, four Aer Lingus Boeing 757 and up to 15 Iberia long-haul aircraft with its Ku2 WiFi-technology.
HAMBURG - Thales went big on IFE during this year`s Aircraft Interiors Expo. The French company brought its 21.3 inch high-res "Digital Sky" seatback screen to Hamburg. The prototype abandons conventional 16:9 IFE wide-screen dimensions in favor of a lavish portrait screen - the future of Economy airtravel?
HAMBURG - Making its premiere at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Lufthansa Technik will introduce an interactive system that lets passengers track their own flight live on their tablet or smartphone.
MONTREAL - Air Canada announced it will offer satellite connectivity on international flights so customers can email, surf the internet and stream entertainment at broadband speeds while flying.
FRANKFURT - "What`s on your flight?" Go find out and preview yourself, say Lufthansa and IFE-media-agency Spafax, who launched a new entertainment personalization platform. The new website will provide Lufthansa passengers with personalized information about the programming on upcoming flights.
PALMA - Air Europa continues to press ahead with its plan to offer Wi-Fi service to passengers on-board its three Airbus A330. The eXConnect system is supplied by Panasonic Avionics Corporation.
FORT WORTH - Gogo pioneered the in-flight WiFi industry but has to keep up with changing airline and passenger demands, as a public clash with Amercian showed.

The Queen has beef with Prince Harry's domain name
Kevin Murphy, February 19, 2020, 18:21:10 (UTC), Domain Policy
Queen Elizabeth II reportedly wants her grandson Prince Harry to stop using the domain name sussexroyal.com.
Harry and his wife, Meghan, recently announced that they're going to quit their royal duties and spend part of the year in Canada. They will no longer get taxpayer handouts, and will probably (speculating here) make money launching a line of fragrances or something.
The Queen's beef is that by opting out of the royal family, by convention Harry should no longer get to call himself "royal". It's like when his parents divorced, Diana no longer got to use the "Her Royal Highness" title.
They will continue to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
But it seems Harry and Meghan are going to have to pick a new brand to put on the tacky mugs and dish rags they will inevitably end up flogging to gullible Americans. They've been using Sussex Royal as their social media handle too, and have filed for trademarks on the term.
It's a strange edge case of domain ownership law, where royal edict and constitutional convention is seemingly going to trump trademark law.
I look forward to the ICANN working group.

The typescript for chapter 10 is provided in AutomatedComposition10.pdf.
This chapter introduces the concept of recursion in general, leaving musical applications for later. The typescript defines a process to be recursive if it is capable of acting upon its own results. However, what this chapter is really trying to get to are processes which branch out geometrically. One example is algebraic parsing, where complex expressions are broken down into progressively simpler sub-expressions and ultimately into discrete operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and so forth. Another example is fractal generation, where simple rules are used to elaborate an abstract form into component sub-forms, where the same rules are used to elaborate the sub-forms, and so on, going down many levels.
The discussion of mathematical recursion ought to have cited examples such as the Cantor set, the Peano curve, the Koch snowflake, and the Weierstrass function; instead it concentrates upon constructs more properly characterized as inductive, such as Peano's whole-number axioms.
A discussion of self-invoking programs is illustrated first by a program for generating Fibonacci numbers. and second by a program enumerating all the ways of choosing three items out of seven. The purpose here is to show that what can be achieved by a subroutine that references itself can also be achieved without self reference, by pushing variables onto an explicit stack before moving on to sub tasks, and by popping variables off the stack when a sub task has run to completion.
The chapter cites generating Fibonacci numbers as an example of horizontal or left-to-right recursion, which terminates upon reaching a goal level. By contrast, the chapter cites choosing three items out of seven as an example of vertical or top-down recursion, which terminates upon returning to the original level. horizontal recursion is implemented using a queue, while vertical recursion is implemented using a stack. A section explaining queues is illustrated by an eighth-order Markov chain. A section explaining stacks is illustrated by the mechanics of partition/exchange sorting.

After Christ's resurrection and ascension, the Apostles appointed bishops to spread and preserve the faith within Christian communities they established throughout the region. During the early centuries of the Church, many bishops were martyred under persecution. Eventually, Christianity was accepted as the religion of the Roman Empire under Saint Constantine allowing for a unity of Christian communities to be recognized more broadly across the empire.
Among all of the communities established, some came to be recognized as highly influential metropolitan areas, including Rome, Antioch, Constantinople, Jerusalem, and Alexandria. These patriarchates all understood themselves to be the same Church.
Occasionally an idea contradicting of the faith received from the Apostles would take root in a community and stir up controversy. Ecumenical Councils consisting of representation from all of the Church were called to resolve the dispute. One of the familiar outcomes of those first councils to address heresies was the Nicene-Constantinopolitan creed.
Christianity continued to spread throughout the east, including Russia in the 10th century.
Increasing tensions between the Roman bishop and the Eastern bishops eventually led to the "Great Schism" in the 11th century. Over the next centuries, theological and political divisions between Rome and the Eastern Patriarchates became more solidified, eventually resulting in a universal recognition of the loss of communion.
The Reformation of the 16th century resulted in further divisions within the Roman church as new national churches were established throughout Europe over the following centuries. Many of the first Europeans that came to North America were from the Roman Catholic Church and other reformation churches.
Orthodoxy was first brought to North America by Russian missionaries sent to Alaska. Other immigrants arriving in other areas of the US set up churches under supervision of bishops in their native countries. Orthodoxy in America is still administered among multiple jurisdictions, but they share participation in the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America which is working towards a unified administration of Orthodoxy in the US.

Oh. My. Word. Why do home-projects turn into such nightmares??
I didn't get to decorate that room for Christmas. The dining room table, at times, was shoved into my kitchen…and at times, was in the family room.
However, tonight, it is now, finally coming together. Maybe. I can't decide how to arrange the furniture. I've scooted, lifted, cleaned and rearranged.
But, do I like the hutch…that I just spent back-breaking, Herculean effort to move….in the family room?
Does the white hutch stay here??
Well, it stays for a day or two. At least until my back recuperates!

No manipulation and no oak. Just some concrete fermentation and classic Chardonnay aromas, including zesty citrus and ripe pears. Acidic and fresh, this vintage is great social wine to enjoy with friends and family.

Provias ViaView Taken On Board By Spencer
Grand Rapids — Provia Software, this community's quietly growing order-to-delivery fulfillment software firm, has announced two new global steps.
The first, this summer, involved expanding its strategic alliance which takes Provia products — or rather which uses Provia products to manage the delivery of others' product — all over South American.
Then last month the firm announced that that Spencer Gifts, one of North America's major specialty gift retailers, has signed an agreement to license Provia's ViaView supply chain execution collaboration suite.
ViaView provides its users alert and event management, visibility, decision support, and labor analysis.
Already a Provia client, Spencer Gifts has been using Provia's ViaWare WMS to manage fulfillment to the 700-plus stores served out of a 500,000 square foot distribution hub in Charlotte, NC.
The center supplies not only Spencer Gifts stores but also Spencer's DAPY, GLOW! and Universal Studios outlets. The company's outlets are found in the United Kingdom as well as Canada and the United States.
Spencer's vice president for global supply chain logistics, Geoff Higginbotham, says his firm is adding ViaView to the company's logistics products in order to have a real-time global look at their supply chain.
Speaking from the firm's New Jersey headquarters, Higginbotham said, "Wrapping ViaView around our current fulfillment execution products will give us both a 'now and later' view of our supply chain," Higginbotham said.
"The 'now' portion comes from the real-time view of fulfillment activity throughout our distribution environment," he said.
Higginbotham said the 'later' portion is a compilation of all the firm's transactions as time progresses.
"Being able to view our transaction history over an expanded period of time will give us the ability to identify trends, investigate problems, and increase efficiency. Overall, with ViaView we'll have a much more accurate and real-time picture of our complete distribution process.
"With ViaView, we'll have a real-time view of exactly what's occurring and the ability to adapt much more quickly as events warrant," continued Higginbotham.
He explained that because Spencer deals with pop culture, new 'hot' or 'must-have' items are constantly changing.
"Accordingly, he said, the visibility Spencer has with ViaView will allow it to adapt more quickly to perpetual change and to react more quickly in the company's distribution process.
"Over time," he added, "information from this real-time view will develop into an accurate historical record of our supply chain transactional data. With this historical view, we'll be able to spot and react to trends sooner, increasing overall customer satisfaction."
Initially, staff at Spencer Gifts' DC level will use ViaView, with the long-term plan being to extendg ViaView access to the company's corporate office personnel, and ultimately to managers of all the chain's stores.
"Initially, the visibility into current and historical data, as well as the subscription capabilities, will greatly increase the effectiveness of our customer service people, as they will be able to see everything in real-time," Higginbotham said.
"Long term, as we expand the visibility to our individual store managers, they can use ViaView to access the status of orders or inventory in real-time, 24 hours a day, and subscribe to shipments to be notified when rush orders are shipped and be able to track the shipment all the way to their store."
Provia's CEO and president, Ken Lewis, informed the Business Journal that like Higgenbotham, many Provia clients are are beginning see the full breadth of applications of data which ViaView can provide.
He termed the process as "adding fulfillment collaboration functionality to an existing fulfillment execution suite."
Lewis says it creates a strong and complete logistics solution.
"After implementing an execution-based solution, the natural progression is to move to collaboration. This increases the ability of a company like Spencer Gifts to be more responsive to customers. We're excited to be able to offer this value."
Earlier this year Provia announced expanding its strategic alliance with Tecsys Latin.
With this new agreement, Provia said, Tecsys Latin America is now responsible for all marketing, sales, implementation and support for all of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Previously, Provia maintained an office in Santiago, Chile, to serve the southern cone of Latin America and as a base of support for the company's Chile-based customers, L'Oreal and Forus.
Lewis said that now operating as a single source of contact for all of Latin America will give Provia's clients and prospects a higher level of awareness and consistency.
"With Tecsys Latin America as the single source for all of Latin America, our existing and future clients will have full service help desk, and language-specific support.
From a sales and implementation perspective, TLA's knowledge of technology, their already strong experience with Provia, combined with their trained personnel will enable Provia to grow its market share in Latin America and the Caribbean more quickly. We're excited to move forward with this agreement."
As part of the new agreement, Tecsys Latin America will use Provia's Chile operation as the base to expand its presence in the Southern Cone.
Currently, Tecsys Latin America licenses Provia Software to seven major companies in the region, including two of the regions largest 3PL operators — Almaviva in Colombia and Ceaclo in Venezuela.
Other customers include Ofixpres of the Carvajal Group in Colombia, one of the region's fastest growing office supply distribution companies and Unicasa, a leading supermarket chain in Venezuela with 27 supermarkets.

The Twitter Files: The Removal Of Donald Trump
Again through seasoned journalist Matt Taibbi, the third chapter of Elon Musk's revelation of internal Twitter communications has been made public.
We discover what transpired behind the scenes that caused former President Donald Trump to be removed off the platform in this three-part episode.
1. THREAD: The Twitter Files
THE REMOVAL OF DONALD TRUMP
Part One: October 2020-January 6th
— Matt Taibbi (@mtaibbi) December 9, 2022
The world knows much of the story of what happened between riots at the Capitol on January 6th, and the removal of President Donald Trump from Twitter on January 8th…
We'll show you what hasn't been revealed: the erosion of standards within the company in months before J6, decisions by high-ranking executives to violate their own policies, and more, against the backdrop of ongoing, documented interaction with federal agencies.
This first installment covers the period before the election through January 6th. Tomorrow, @ShellenbergerMD will detail the chaos inside Twitter on January 7th. On Sunday, @bariweiss will reveal the secret internal communications from the key date of January 8th.
Whatever your opinion on the decision to remove Trump that day, the internal communications at Twitter between January 6th-January 8th have clear historical import. Even Twitter's employees understood in the moment it was a landmark moment in the annals of speech.
As soon as they finished banning Trump, Twitter execs started processing new power. They prepared to ban future presidents and White Houses – perhaps even Joe Biden. The "new administration," says one exec, "will not be suspended by Twitter unless absolutely necessary."
Twitter executives removed Trump in part over what one executive called the "context surrounding": actions by Trump and supporters "over the course of the election and frankly last 4+ years." In the end, they looked at a broad picture. But that approach can cut both ways.
The bulk of the internal debate leading to Trump's ban took place in those three January days. However, the intellectual framework was laid in the months preceding the Capitol riots.
Before J6, Twitter was a unique mix of automated, rules-based enforcement, and more subjective moderation by senior executives. As reported, the firm had a vast array of tools for manipulating visibility, most all of which were thrown at Trump (and others) pre-J6.
As the election approached, senior executives – perhaps under pressure from federal agencies, with whom they met more as time progressed – increasingly struggled with rules, and began to speak of "vios" as pretexts to do what they'd likely have done anyway.
After J6, internal Slacks show Twitter executives getting a kick out of intensified relationships with federal agencies. Here's Trust and Safety head Yoel Roth, lamenting a lack of "generic enough" calendar descriptions to concealing his "very interesting" meeting partners.
These initial reports are based on searches for docs linked to prominent executives, whose names are already public. They include Roth, former trust and policy chief Vijaya Gadde, and recently plank-walked Deputy General Counsel (and former top FBI lawyer) Jim Baker.
One particular slack channel offers an unique window into the evolving thinking of top officials in late 2020 and early 2021.
On October 8th, 2020, executives opened a channel called "us2020_xfn_enforcement." Through J6, this would be home for discussions about election-related removals, especially ones that involved "high-profile" accounts (often called "VITs" or "Very Important Tweeters").
There was at least some tension between Safety Operations – a larger department whose staffers used a more rules-based process for addressing issues like porn, scams, and threats – and a smaller, more powerful cadre of senior policy execs like Roth and Gadde.
The latter group were a high-speed Supreme Court of moderation, issuing content rulings on the fly, often in minutes and based on guesses, gut calls, even Google searches, even in cases involving the President.
During this time, executives were also clearly liaising with federal enforcement and intelligence agencies about moderation of election-related content. While we're still at the start of reviewing the #TwitterFiles, we're finding out more about these interactions every day.
Policy Director Nick Pickles is asked if they should say Twitter detects "misinfo" through "ML, human review, and *partnerships with outside experts?" The employee asks, "I know that's been a slippery process… not sure if you want our public explanation to hang on that."
Pickles quickly asks if they could "just say "partnerships." After a pause, he says, "e.g. not sure we'd describe the FBI/DHS as experts."
This post about the Hunter Biden laptop situation shows that Roth not only met weekly with the FBI and DHS, but with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI):
Roth's report to FBI/DHS/DNI is almost farcical in its self-flagellating tone: "We blocked the NYP story, then unblocked it (but said the opposite)… comms is angry, reporters think we're idiots… in short, FML" (fuck my life).
Some of Roth's later Slacks indicate his weekly confabs with federal law enforcement involved separate meetings. Here, he ghosts the FBI and DHS, respectively, to go first to an "Aspen Institute thing," then take a call with Apple.
Here, the FBI sends reports about a pair of tweets, the second of which involves a former Tippecanoe County, Indiana Councilor and Republican named @JohnBasham claiming "Between 2% and 25% of Ballots by Mail are Being Rejected for Errors."
The FBI's second report concerned this tweet by @JohnBasham:
The FBI-flagged tweet then got circulated in the enforcement Slack. Twitter cited Politifact to say the first story was "proven to be false," then noted the second was already deemed "no vio on numerous occasions."
The group then decides to apply a "Learn how voting is safe and secure" label because one commenter says, "it's totally normal to have a 2% error rate." Roth then gives the final go-ahead to the process initiated by the FBI:
Examining the entire election enforcement Slack, we didn't see one reference to moderation requests from the Trump campaign, the Trump White House, or Republicans generally. We looked. They may exist: we were told they do. However, they were absent here.
In one case, former Arizona governor Mike Huckabee joke-tweets about mailing in ballots for his "deceased parents and grandparents."
This inspires a long Slack that reads like an @TitaniaMcGrath parody. "I agree it's a joke," concedes a Twitter employee, "but he's also literally admitting in a tweet a crime."
The group declares Huck's an "edge case," and though one notes, "we don't make exceptions for jokes or satire," they ultimately decide to leave him be, because "we've poked enough bears."
"Could still mislead people… could still mislead people," the humor-averse group declares, before moving on from Huckabee
Roth suggests moderation even in this absurd case could depend on whether or not the joke results in "confusion." This seemingly silly case actually foreshadows serious later issues:
In the docs, execs often expand criteria to subjective issues like intent (yes, a video is authentic, but why was it shown?), orientation (was a banned tweet shown to condemn, or support?), or reception (did a joke cause "confusion"?). This reflex will become key in J6.
In another example, Twitter employees prepare to slap a "mail-in voting is safe" warning label on a Trump tweet about a postal screwup in Ohio, before realizing "the events took place," which meant the tweet was "factually accurate":
"VERY WELL DONE ON SPEED" Trump was being "visibility filtered" as late as a week before the election. Here, senior execs didn't appear to have a particular violation, but still worked fast to make sure a fairly anodyne Trump tweet couldn't be "replied to, shared, or liked":
"VERY WELL DONE ON SPEED": the group is pleased the Trump tweet is dealt with quickly
A seemingly innocuous follow-up involved a tweet from actor @realJamesWoods, whose ubiquitous presence in argued-over Twitter data sets is already a #TwitterFiles in-joke.
After Woods angrily quote-tweeted about Trump's warning label, Twitter staff – in a preview of what ended up happening after J6 – despaired of a reason for action, but resolved to "hit him hard on future vio."
Here a label is applied to Georgia Republican congresswoman Jody Hice for saying, "Say NO to big tech censorship!" and, "Mailed ballots are more prone to fraud than in-person balloting… It's just common sense."
Twitter teams went easy on Hice, only applying "soft intervention," with Roth worrying about a "wah wah censorship" optics backlash:
Meanwhile, there are multiple instances of involving pro-Biden tweets warning Trump "may try to steal the election" that got surfaced, only to be approved by senior executives. This one, they decide, just "expresses concern that mailed ballots might not make it on time."
43. In this exchange, again unintentionally humorous, former Attorney General Eric Holder claimed the U.S. Postal Service was "deliberately crippled,"ostensibly by the Trump administration. He was initially hit with a generic warning label, but it was quickly taken off by Roth: pic.twitter.com/UXoXxE9E1S

The Loyal Victoria Lodge of Manaro, No. 1182 of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows, was opened at Cooma on 2nd. January, 1865, with 18 members, Bro. John Roddan being President and Bro. E. Hewison Elective Secretary. The Lodge has continued to grow, and has attained considerable strength. It has sister lodges in other portions of the district. Bro. C. O'Brien, Past District Master and District Secretary, has for years been a tower of strength to the Lodge. The Order has lodges in many district and towns, and is numerically very strong. Bro. A. J. Simmons, of Berridale, is District Master.
The Loyal Monaro Lodge, No. 119, of the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows, was founded at Cooma on 26th October, 1882. The Lodge was opened by P.D.G.M. Dyball, of the Goulburn District, the place of meeting being Mr. George Rolfe's Prince of Wales Hotel. Bro. Christopher Alt was N.G. and Bro. C. H. Stewart, Secretary.
The place of meeting was changed from the Prince of Wales Hotel to the Church of England School Hall. After a few years' occupancy of this the Lodge secured rooms in Montgomery's Buildings, and since 1914 has been meeting in a room rented from the Masonic Lodge. The Lodge has a Merit Board, on which the names of seventy five P.N.G.'s appear. Three brethren have attained District Master's rank, viz.: P.D. Master Alt, P.D. Master J. A. Perkins, P.D. Master J. A. Norris. The Lodge has over 100 members good on its books. Bro. J. A. Perkins, a member of this Lodge, has attained the rank of Grand Master of the Order for the State of New South Wales. A Lodge is in existence at Nimmitabel.
A branch of the above was formed at Cooma in 1902, under the Presidency of J. C. Russell. The Society has continued active operations ever since, and to-day has a membership of eighty. The President for the current year is F. Bookallil. J. Arentz is secretary.

El Bi'na
Edna J. Stern
During September 2003 a salvage excavation was conducted in the middle of el-Bi'na village (Permit No. A-3983*; map ref. NIG 22580/75968; OIG 17580/25968), prior to construction. The excavation, on behalf of the Antiquities Authority, was directed by E. J. Stern, with the assistance of N. Getzov (early pottery and flint implements), V. Essman and V. Pirsky (surveying), Y. Ya'aqoby (administration), H. Smithline and C. Amit (photography), R. Abu Raya (inspection), E. Belashov (drafting), L. Kupershmidt (metallurgical laboratory), H. Tahan (pottery drawing), M. Smilanski (flint drawing) and laborers from Kafr Manda.
El- Bi'na village is located on the northern fringes of the Bet Ha-Kerem Valley. The excavation was conducted at the highest point of the village, where an archaeological tell is likely to have existed and next to the remains of a building from the Crusader period that are visible on surface (Figs. 1, 2). An area (c. 3 × 6 m; Figs. 3, 4) was excavated, wherein three main building phases that dated to the Roman, Mamluk and Ottoman periods were exposed. Flint implements and potsherds, dating to the Neolithic, Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, the Persian, Hellenistic, Byzantine, Early Islamic and Crusader periods were also discovered.
Neolithic Period. A flint 'Byblos'-point arrowhead that dated to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period was found (Fig. 5:1).
Late Bronze Age. Flint implements and numerous potsherds that indicate a settlement at the site during this period were uncovered in the fill throughout the excavation areas. The flint items included sickle blades (Fig. 5:2, 3), as well as industrial debitage. The pottery vessels consisted of bowls (Fig. 6:1–3), cooking pots (Fig. 6:5, 6) and imported Cypriot vessels, such as a milk bowl (Fig. 6:4) and fragments of a bilbil (Fig. 6:7, 8).
Iron Age and the Persian and Hellenistic Periods. Potsherds indicating the site was inhabited during these periods were found, including a cooking bowl and krater from the Iron Age (Fig. 6:9, 10), a jar from the Persian period (Fig. 6:11) and a bowl from the Hellenistic period (Fig. 6:12).
Roman Period. A massive wall (W14), oriented north–south, was preserved a single course high. It was built of large ashlars (0.5 × 0.5 × 1.0 m) with diagonally drafted margins and its complete width was not exposed. The foundation consisted of hard limestone and packed earth (at least 0.7 m deep).
The fill contained potsherds from a number of periods, the latest of which dated the wall to the Roman period (third–fourth centuries CE) and included a Kefar Hananiya cooking pot and cooking bowl (Types 4C and 1D respectively; Fig. 6:13, 14). The continuation of W14 could be traced for a distance of 8 m in the eastern wall of the Crusader building (Fig. 7) where it stood four courses high (c. 2 m) and a molded cornice was incorporated within it. It seems W14 was originally the façade of an opulent building from the Roman period. Visible next to the eastern side of W14 were the remains of a plastered and vaulted water reservoir (Fig. 8), built of large rectangular stones identical to those of
W14; hence, it belonged to the same building. The continuation of the water reservoir was damaged in the past by mechanical equipment. At the bottom part of a later wall, c. 5 m south of the excavation area, was a section of a wall built in a similar style to W14 and it probably also belonged to the Roman-period building.
Byzantine and Umayyad Periods. A few potsherds from these periods, particularly the Byzantine period, were found in the fill above and below the floors of the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. The Byzantine period was represented by a LRC3 red-slipped bowl fragment (Fig. 6:15) and few sections of mosaics, which were not in situ and consisted of small white, red and black tesserae, attesting to the presence of a luxurious building that once stood nearby. Five creased pieces of gold leaf were found; two of them bear the clearly distinguished features of a person's face, surrounded by a halo (Fig. 9). These should be dated to the Byzantine period based on the style of the decoration. The Umayyad period was noted by a red-slipped bowl of Egyptian origin (ERS), dated to the seventh–eighth centuries CE (Fig. 6:16).
Crusader Period. A few potsherds from this period were found, although a building ascribed to it stands c. 5 m north of the excavation area. The building is incorporated today within some of the village houses and it seems to have had an addition that is dated to the Ottoman period. The building has several halls that are covered with barrel or cross vaults and it is built of ashlar stones in the style characteristic of Crusader construction, as manifested in openings with a pointed vault (Fig. 10) and a window shaped like an arrow slit (Fig. 11).
Mamluk Period. A floor extended east of W14, which served as an enclosure wall in this period. The northern part of the floor was composed of small fieldstones and tamped earth and its southern part was tamped plaster. West of W14 was a wall (W21), built of square fieldstones and aligned east–west, which although not well preserved, seems to date to this period of time. Pottery vessels, including a glazed bowl decorated with thick incising (Green and Yellow Gouged Ware; Fig. 6:17) and a jar (Fig. 6:18), were found.
Ottoman Period. The upper stones of W14 were incorporated within a floor that extended east and south of it. The floor, delineated by two walls (W18, W19), consisted of different-sized flat fieldstones and was overlaid with a layer of fine-particle brown soil that contained four stones arranged in the shape of a fallen arch, which were the remains of the collapsed ceiling. It seems the building should be dated to the end of the Ottoman period or the beginning of the British Mandatory era.
The massive building remains from the Roman period point to a spacious structure that was probably a public building. It seems the Crusader building made secondary usage of the Roman wall that was preserved to a considerable height––a rare phenomenon in the Galilee. The Crusader building remains probably belonged to a seigniorial castle that served as the center of the St. George de la Baena fief, mentioned in historical sources. It is noteworthy that no other remains from the Crusader period were found, except for a few potsherds.

Obama Appointed Islamic Society Official To Approve Russian Uranium One Sale
image; cairchicago.org
This is just so Obama. And very possibly so Iranian born Valerie Jarrett. Let's reminisce, shall we?
In 2009 Aimen Nabi Mir was Obama's appointed top advisor to the Committee for Foreign Investment which was a Cabinet-level committee that approved the Uranium One deal to Russia. Aimen Nabi Mir was a two time President according to reports, of the "Youth wing of ISNA". Hillary Clinton was the leader of the committee being advised by this person. Eric Holder and other Cabinet Secretaries also sat on that committee.
So who is the Islamic Society of North America?
According to InvestigativeReporting.org:
ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, is one of America's most prominent and active Muslim organizations. While it enjoys a generally positive public image from its religious endeavors and huge annual conference, ISNA's extremist origins and continuing ideological support for radicalism make it an inappropriate partner for government outreach. As the information detailed in this report will show, ISNA's ideology has been rooted in radicalism since its foundation.
• ISNA remains an unindicted co-conspirator in the Hamas-support prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), despite its appealsto the court to remove that status.
• ISNA was created by members of the Muslim Brotherhood – a radical Egyptian movement that seeks to spread Shariah law globally – in the U.S. Many of those founders remain in leadership positions with ISNA.
• It invites controversial speakers to its nationwide conferences, including some of the world famous Islamists and advocates of Jihad.
• Speakers at ISNA conferences make radical statements, often in contradiction of ISNA's cultivated public image.
-W.E.
BigLeaguePolitics
The Obama administration placed Aimen Nabi Mir, former two-time president of the youth wing of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), into the top advisory position to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a national security post at the Treasury Department.
Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During that time, Aimen Mir played a key role in the CFIUS panel's decision to approve the sale of Uranium One to Russia's Rosatom. Mir also played a key role in the Treasury Department's refusal to investigate the UAE's Gulftainer 35-year cargo container terminal lease at Port Canaveral, a critical military infrastructure facility for U.S. naval and space operations. Both decisions severely damaged United States national security.
Aimen Mir helped set the table for Vladimir Putin to seize control of over 20 percent of U.S. uranium and was part of the decision that awarded control of Port Canaveral's cargo container terminal to Saddam Hussein's rogue nuclear weapons scientist and designated Iraq War enemy combatant, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar. Dr. Jafar's brother and business partner, Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Jafar, was under investigation by the Treasury Department and four congressional committees for his 'Oil For Superweapons" scheme in concert with Saddam Hussein.
For starters, Aimen Mir's ISNA connections are troubling. ISNA is one of the largest Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S. and was named by the Department of Justice as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation HAMAS terror funding trial.
Further, Aimen Mir is the son of Kashmir-born physician Dr. Ghulam Nabi Mir, an ISNA Founders Committee member. Dr. Mir is also the president of the World Kashmir Awareness Forum (WKAF), an Islamic platform Dr. Mir uses to aggressively advocate for Kashmir's secession from India in order to join Pakistan. WKAF's Secretary General "Dr." Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, is a convicted felon, also from Kashmir, who served as a Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI) operative inside the United States.
Fai was arrested by the FBI in 2011 for covertly operating as an unregistered foreign agent while receiving $3.5 million dollars in wire transfers from the ISI. Fai used some of that money to fund an elaborate lobbying operation pushing Kashmiri "independence" on unsuspecting U.S. officials who remained seemingly unaware that Pakistan was running the operation. In 2013, Fai was granted early release from U.S. federal prison by the Justice Department.
Like his father's ISI partner Fai, Aimen Mir appears to have been running his own operation at CFIUS.
Aimen Mir was the CFIUS Staff Chairperson from 2009 until 2014. During Mir's five years in the staff chairperson's seat, CFIUS approved Russia's 2010 purchase of Uranium One, effectively handing Vladimir Putin control of 20 percent of America's uranium. Also during Mir's term, the Treasury Department refused to conduct two legally-required CFIUS investigations of Port Canaveral's 2014 container terminal lease concession to the UAE's Gulftainer.
The Gulftainer deal effectively placed Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons mastermind, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, along with his longtime Russian KGB/SVR and Iranian regime associates and a UAE Emir inside the wire of a national-security sensitive U.S. port. Gulftainer misrepresented its true ownership; facts that Mir could and should have uncovered easily.
A World Bank International Finance Corporation (IFC) document (now scrubbed from the IFC website) proved that Gulftainer was owned in part by Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, the Emir of Sharjah, UAE. Under the Foreign Investment National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA), foreign government ownership of an acquiring entity automatically triggers a mandatory CFIUS review, regardless of whether the transaction is a purchase or a lease. Aimen Mir understood CFIUS and FINSA law and chose to ignore it, as did Treasury Secretary Jacob 'Jack' Lew and Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.

Higher oil prices, resilient global growth and accommodative financial conditions promise to cushion the Middle East and North Africa's economic slowdown from the effects of oil production cuts. According to our latest estimates, the region's economies expanded an aggregated 2.1% annually in Q2, up from the 1.8% rise estimated last month, mostly reflecting better-than-expected economic dynamics in Iran.
Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia continue to threaten the stability of the region, however. Saudi Arabia stated that the missile targeting the Riyadh airport on 4 November was launched from Yemen and represented "an act of war" by Iran. The missile, which was intercepted by the Kingdom's defense systems, was fired from areas under the control of Houthi rebels, who are supported by Iran. The two regional superpowers are engaged in a proxy war in Yemen, which is causing a humanitarian catastrophe, aggravated by a three-week Saudi blockade that was a retaliatory measure for the missile attack.
The regional rivalry between the two countries also reverberated in Lebanon. On 4 November, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who was in Saudi Arabia at the time, suddenly announced his resignation, citing fears he could be assassinated in a plot led by Iran. He also criticized the role of Iran and its Lebanese partner Hezbollah in the Arab world. Lebanese officials insinuated that Saudi Arabia had forced Hariri to resign to destabilize the current Lebanese government, which is partially controlled by Hezbollah. The domestic political crisis eased to some extent on 22 November. Just a few hours after his return to Beirut from Saudi Arabia, Hariri postponed his resignation.
Iran and Saudi Arabia are also facing severe challenges at home. The Islamic Republic is grappling with fears that the United States will reinstate economic sanctions that could jeopardize Iran's economic recovery, particularly following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to "decertify" the nuclear deal on 13 October. This move paves the way for the U.S. Congress to take additional legislative action against Iran, targeting Iran's ballistic missiles program in particular.
In Saudi Arabia, 32-year old Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman is quickly consolidating his grip on power. On 4 November, he coordinated the arrest of more than 200 members of the Saudi elite, including ministers, princes and the region's wealthy tycoon Prince Alwaleed bin Talal amid corruption charges. While the anti-graft crackdown has the potential to disrupt economic activity in the short term, it could also shore up Salman's reformist agenda. Nevertheless, Salman has adopted a tough stance against Iran, which could lead to further political and economic destabilization in the Middle East.
Although the region will benefit from higher oil prices and strong global growth next year, rising geopolitical risks hamper MENA's growth outlook. Moreover, the region could suffer from monetary policy normalization in the United States. The region is expected to grow 2.9% in 2018, which is down 0.2 percentage points from last month's estimate. Our panel projects regional growth of 3.3% in 2019.
This month's downgrade to MENA's economic outlook for 2018 reflects lower growth prospects for Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. Nearly all the remaining economies saw their forecasts unchanged. Egypt was the sole economy to experience an upgrade this month.
Egypt and Iran are expected to experience the fastest growth among MENA countries in 2018, expanding at 4.3%. At the other end of the spectrum, Saudi Arabia is expected to be the region's worst performer due to increasing political unrest and reduced oil production stemming from the extension of the oil cut deal into 2018. Although the Yemeni economy is expected to experience a sizeable 4.0% next year, panelists have cut 5.5 percentage points from its growth forecast in the last four months and further downgrades are pending, as there is no resolution to the ongoing civil war in sight.
On 4 November, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman ordered the arrests of dozens of Saudi Arabia's business and political elite, including princes, ministers and wealthy businessmen. Although this move was officially deemed a crackdown on corruption, it will also help Salman cement his political power. Oil prices hit an over two-year high in the aftermath of the crisis, and financial markets showed some volatility. While the impact on the economy is still uncertain, the crown prince's bid to shore up power could strengthen his reform agenda geared at diversifying the economy away from oil. Moreover, political tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran escalated after a missile launched by Houthi rebels was intercepted over Riyadh on 4 November. The Saudi government accused Iran of providing ballistic missiles to the rebels in Yemen.
Economic activity should rebound next year on the back of higher oil prices and an improved fiscal position. That said, government spending will remain below levels last seen before prices collapsed in 2014. Moreover, spillovers from the ongoing tensions with Iran and domestic political unrest could undermine the economic recovery. FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast panelists expect growth of 1.5% next year, which is down 0.2 percentage points from last month's projection. In 2019, growth is seen picking up pace to 2.3%.
The non-oil sector continues to look sprightly: The PMI rose in October on the back of higher new orders at home and abroad, with employment increasing for the 18th straight month. However, as is the case across the Gulf region, oil production cuts have dented overall economic growth. In early November, the cabinet approved the 2018 federal budget. It is significantly more expansionary than last year's, and plans a 5.6% increase in expenditure to further solidify non-oil growth, with a particular focus on education, health and other social development programs. The cabinet simultaneously aims for a balanced budget, reflecting the greater fiscal space generated by the substantial uptick in oil prices in recent months. Although the federal budget is only a small part of total government spending - with emirate-level spending making up the rest - it remains an important weathervane of the overall direction of fiscal policy.
Growth should pick up significantly next year, as the oil sector recovers and the non-oil sector benefits from preparations for the Dubai 2020 World Expo, which should boost fixed investment. FocusEconomics panelists expect GDP to rise 2.9% in 2018, which is down 0.1 percentage point from last month's forecast, and 3.1% in 2019.
The economy continues to recover, and growth reportedly picked up for the fourth consecutive quarter in the July-September period. In addition, the unemployment rate dipped to a multi-year low over the same period, while in October the PMI moved further towards positive territory. In early November, the IMF concluded the second review under the Extended Fund Facility. If the Executive Board signs off on the agreement, an additional USD 2 billion will be disbursed, on top of the USD 4 billion already distributed. The Fund once again praised the government's progress in implementing reforms to reduce the size of the bloated public sector and improve the business environment. The latter will be further enhanced by the cabinet's recent approval of executive regulations for the new investment law, which include tax breaks and faster approval processes for firms. International reserves rose to a new multi-year high in October, reflecting renewed investor confidence in the country.
The economy should continue to gain momentum going forward. Recent investment and industrial licensing laws are likely to boost investment. Consumer spending should recover as inflation recedes, and the external sector will likely be strengthened by the weaker pound. However, security concerns—highlighted by the recent bombing of a mosque—will cloud the outlook. FocusEconomics analysts expect GDP to expand 4.3% in FY 2018, up 0.1 percentage points from last month's forecast, and 4.7% in FY 2019.
Annualized GDP growth accelerated in Q3, driven by strong private consumption and investment. Household spending grew at the fastest pace in more than a year, benefiting from a tight labor market and low inflation. Robust business confidence and low interest rates pushed firms to invest heavily for a second consecutive quarter. Despite stellar headline growth in exports, growth excluding diamond shipments and startups was tepid, no doubt hit by the stronger shekel. Leading indicators from October have been reassuring; economic activity ticked up on stronger inbound tourism, while consumer confidence hit an all-time high amid nearly full employment. Although the PMI declined for a second straight month in October, stronger imports of manufacturing inputs signaled the manufacturing sector's underlying health.
Household spending is expected to drive economic growth next year, supported by the tight labor market and high asset values. The Bank of Israel's loose monetary policy and the government's medium-term infrastructure plans are expected to boost fixed investment. Downside risks will continue to include the possibility of flare-ups in Israeli-Palestinian tensions, which could halt the tourism sector's recovery. FocusEconomics panelists expect growth to reach 3.4% in 2018, which is unchanged from last month's forecast. For 2019, our panel expects 3.2% growth.
According to a regional aggregate produced by FocusEconomics, inflation accelerated in October to a four-month high of 4.3%. The print exceeded the 4.1% tallied in the previous three months. It reflected higher price pressures in eight countries in the region, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In Egypt, inflation is losing momentum, reflecting a more stable economic environment. That said, inflation remained above 30% for the fourth consecutive month. Consumer prices declined for the tenth consecutive month in October in Saudi Arabia.
A weaker U.S. dollar will lead to higher import prices for the region's economies with a currency peg. Moreover, the implementation of a VAT in Gulf Cooperation Council countries and higher commodity prices will boost prices next year. FocusEconomics panelists forecast regional inflation to accelerate from 4.6% in 2017 to 5.0% in 2018, which is, however, down 0.1 percentage points from last month's estimate. In 2019, inflation is expected to moderate to 4.7% as price pressures stabilize in Egypt and the base effect from the VAT fades.

A long time ago, the only way to provide identification for your pet was to purchase a name tag to put on a collar or take a sharpie and write the pets info on the collar itself.
Now we have microchips. A microchip is a very very small device that has a series of numbers and letters encoded into the chip. A special scanning device is needed to read the series of numbers and letters. When you pet gets microchipped, this chip is inserted under the skin with a needle and syringe supplied by the microchip company. The universal location of the chip is between the shoulder blades. Your pet will have a microchip "number' that will need to be registered with the company. There usually is an annual fee to keep your pet registered. Without this registration, the chip is useless. The microchip itself can cost $30 to $45.
The company I use for microchips is Home Again. There are other companies and it is up to the veterinarian or shelter to decide which chip to use. Home Again has other offers that can can be linked to the chip but they may cost extra. You can call Home Again at 1-888-466-3242 or visit their site at HomeAgain.com.
Another form of identification for your pet can be a tattoo. I do have a tattoo machine that I use frequently on feral cat populations that are getting spayed or neutered. A tattoo can be put inside the ear flap or on the belly or inner thigh of an animal. Most tattoos chosen by owners are their phone number. Tattoos have to be done under anesthesia and are therefore expensive unless it is done during some other anesthetic procedure, like a spay or neuter.

Review: 'The Princess and the Frog'
When you wish upon a star (in New Orleans), you can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you might find (wait for it) you get what you need.
Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) works hard at two jobs to save up for her dream: starting a fancy New Orleans restaurant serving up homemade jambalaya, gumbo, and man-catching beignets. Prince Naveen (Bruno Campos) is a free soul who prefers partying and playing rather than any real responsibility, but his parents have cut him off at their purse strings. Enter Dr. Facilier (Keith David), a small-time charlatan with big dreams and a golden opportunity… with a little help from his friends on the other side.
It's the return of traditional Disney animation, this time spearheaded by the fine folks at Pixar (although you won't find their name anywhere on the marquee.) Co-directors Ron Clements and John Musker were also instrumental in bringing Disney's The Little Mermaid and Aladdin to the screen. This time they've set their sights on "The Frog Prince" by giving it a modern spin in a Jazz Age-era New Orleans setting. While a bit dark for a G-rating (but not Hunchback of Notre Dame dark), the result is a mystical and musical family film that's been long missed from the Mouse House, and while not perfect, Pixar seems to have its finger on the correct pulse.
While the story has a refreshing approach, character complexity is a bit in short supply. "Southern bell" Charlotte may be a bit spoiled by her father and must have everything her way, but while she is certainly self-absorbed, she's not evil and is instrumental in moving the story along at a several critical points. Sadly, she's as complex as they come. Our heroes have only a minor change to complete, while our black-hearted villains are doomed in much the same way all Disney villains are. Also in continuing with Disney tradition are broken little homes where mothers and fathers die all too soon; is it too much to hope for a hero or heroine who's not an orphan or being raised by a single parent?
Okay, a few nitpicks on locality. In the film, the wedding parade takes place in the French Quarter of New Orleans (as it should), and when the procession is interrupted, the "prince" runs into the St. Louis Cathedral across from Jackson Square, which is exactly where it is. However, the cemetery where Tiana hops off to and is confronted by Dr. Facilier is Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, located many miles away in the Garden District (where the bigger homes are) and no where near the French Quarter (in fact, the closest cemetery would have been St. Louis Cemetery No 1. (where reputed voodoo queen Marie Laveau is entombed.)
Also, much of the cemetery itself looks like a combination of Metarie Cemetery tombs and many other separate locations rather than any specific one. This isn't to hold anything against the film; it's likely the makers chose to take liberties showing off as many of the historic elements of New Orleans as they could stuff into the film, but no one should expect that it's all conveniently located so close together.
The story works in spite of being a little too musical perhaps. The filmmakers promised it would be musical, but the highs and lows could probably be reworked; the second act feels overlong. Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard, and John Goodman all lend their voices to the production to positive effect. The ending proves a bit clever and serves to reinforce the overall message that the universe tends to unfold as it should and that hard work never hurt anyone. Speaking of hard work, it's nice to see the traditional animators back at work for Disney and hope that this is the first of many new animated features and not its final gasp.

The Lord has called and sent me.
The prophet Amos preached at a time when God's people were divided into two kingdoms, Judah in the south and Israel in the north.
God calls Amos to give the northern kingdom of Israel an unpleasant message.
When Amos's message is not welcome, he points out that the choice to become a prophet was not his own.
We have been chosen in Christ.
The letter to the Ephesians begins with a great hymn of praise.
All people have been chosen by God in Christ, even before creation.
Christians are redeemed by Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit.
He sent them out to preach and teach, giving them power to do so.
In the Gospel story from Mark, Jesus sends the disciples out to do his work.
Today's passage immediately follows the story of Jesus' rejection in Nazareth.
If Jesus is rejected, the disciples continuing his work should also expect rejection.

Do you recognize Morgan Freeman, one of today's most recognizable actors? If not, let me introduce you to this brilliant artist who is both varied and dynamic. Freeman has had a career spanning more than five decades, and his résumé is nothing short of astounding. First and foremost, Freeman is a highly regarded actor who has won countless accolades for his work. He was nominated for four other Oscars in addition to his Best Supporting Actor win for "Million Dollar Baby." But he has far more potential than simply for the big screen. Freeman has established himself as a prominent actor on Broadway, where he has been in the performances of "The Country Girl" and "The Gospel at Colonus." Freeman stands out, though, for more reasons than merely his acting prowess. He is a talented voice actor, contributing his distinctive voice to films like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "March of the Penguins." Freeman, who co-founded the production business Revelations Entertainment, is a successful film producer in addition to his acting career. It's understandable that Morgan Freeman is regarded as a Hollywood legend given his wide variety of skills and achievements. Freeman consistently brings his A-game and makes an impact on audiences, whether he's giving a moving monologue on stage or narrating a documentary with his distinctive gravitas. I strongly advise seeing some of Freeman's legendary performances if you haven't had the chance to witness his talent for yourself. You won't be let down.

This Enduro Route leads from Sölden via Kaiser Trail further on to Aschbach. The new Ötztal Cycle Path (11) takes you uphill and back to Sölden again. A perfect trail also in the afternoon, suitable for some after-work exercise.
This magnificent route travels northwards on the Ötztal Cycle Path (11) and along the Kaiserwald Route (603) mountain bike trail. At the edge of Sölden, in the hamlet of Kaisers, you turn right towards Höfle. The 129 meters of altitude gain must be conquered almost on this first stretch, starting on the asphalt road up to Höfle and leading into the forest trail on a gravel path. You continue on the red Kaiser Trail (698) starting at the end of the gravel route. Short sections with many tree roots and some precipitous spots add to a challenging tour. In wet weather this trail needs a lot more time to dry again. After about 500 meters the trail joins the Ötztal Cycle Path which takes you to the junction towards Brand. In Aschbach you cross the main road and continue on the Ötztal Cycle Path in the opposite direction. Soon you'll reach Sölden and Freizeit Arena again.
Be very careful on Kaiser Trail (698) as this one is a Shared Trail for bikers and hikers. It is suitable only for very skilled sportsmen as the surface remains very wet and slippery after periods of rainy weather.


Loot Hoarder is one of the Expert Neutral Cards.
The Loot Hoarder (LH) has 1.5 mana value in basic minion stats and a Deathrattle that adds 1.5 mana value. Therefore, the PoE has an above average mana efficiency.
The LH is a common target for early Silence minions because it destroys much of his mana efficiency.
Feel free to sacrifice the Loot Hoarder against an enemy minion or to use Spells like Power Overwhelming on him.
LH is more mana efficient than the Novice Engineer, but has a chance of losing the card draw if he is silenced.

From the beginning in 1963, Jim Grote built Donatos on three fundamentals: creating a superior product, hiring great people, and adhering to strong principles that promote goodwill in business and the community. His philosophy was simple and powerfully successful: "To make the best pizza and treat others the way I would like to be treated."
Today, our family-owned company remains a pizza favorite. Working with his daughter, Donatos Chairwoman Jane Grote Abell, Jim remains a guiding influence at Donatos. Jim's generosity is about more than our ample pizza toppings, the Edge-to-Edge(R) mantra we're known for. It's also evident in the way we care about serving our customers the very best pizza, the way we treat our associates like family and the way we always strive to be a good neighbor to everyone in Cincinnati.
