The doughnut fix5/24/2023 ![]() But Tristan will soon discover that when starting a business, it helps to be both Gifted and Talented, and It’s possible he’s bitten off more than he can chew… And so begins the only thing that could make life in Petersville worth living: getting the recipe, making the doughnuts, and bringing them back to the town through his very own doughnut stand. His suspicions about his new town are confirmed when he’s tricked into believing the local general store has life-changing chocolate cream doughnuts, when in fact the owner hasn’t made them in years. ![]() It’s like suddenly they’re supposed to be this other family, one that can survive without bagels and movie theaters. But his life takes a turn for the worse when his parents decide to move to middle-of-nowhere Petersville-a town with one street and no restaurants. Tristan isn’t Gifted or Talented like his sister Jeanine, and he’s always been okay with that because he can make a perfect chocolate chip cookie and he lives in the greatest city in the world. Superfudge meets The Lemonade War in this funny, heartwarming series debut about change, adventure, family, and of course, doughnuts. ![]() ![]() Yoinks!

Shape up ryan singer5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() However, there are some consistently true principles and some parameters that you can think about that as you build that will help deliver projects that impact the business on time. There isn’t the one way to build great product. In the case of Autobooks, they struggled to follow the method to the letter, until they realised that they didn’t have to. ![]() While the principles still applied, the specific tactics needed to be customised to work in other companies that were in different stages of growth, maturity and business model.

There is an expression I used to hear among the elders in my Italian family, mal’ a visage, mal’ di cuore, buon’ a visage, buon’ di cuore, which means basically that the heart shows on the face. It was my good fortune to meet Doctorow in the early 1990s and share a few brief conversations with him in the years that followed. Doctorow departed from us this week, succumbing to lung cancer complications at the age of 84. ‘A nice man and a great writer,’ she said.Į.L. Krementz photographed Doctorow many times over the years but this picture is her favorite.
