How do franchisees pick winning concepts?This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Martha Olmos, chief operating officer with Damm Fine Restaurant Group, a franchisee of Dave's Hot Chicken and Blaze Pizza. Damm Fine got into both Blaze and Dave's early in their history. We talk with Olmos about what goes into operating such brands and how they found those concepts in the first place. We also talk about why they felt confident enough in the brands to get into them. We spent a lot of time talking about how to build a good company culture and to develop good employees. This is a great conversation for people who operate restaurants. We talk about the performance of Blaze and Dave's and the difference in operating the two. We talk about operating restaurants in California and how they got through the state's increase in the minimum wage. And all sorts of other things.

¿Qué huella estás dejando en el corazón de Dios? La Biblia no solo cuenta historias de personas bendecidas, también revela a hombres que marcaron profundamente el corazón del Señor. Abraham fue llamado su amigo. Moisés habló con Él cara a cara. David fue reconocido como un hombre conforme a Su corazón. Más allá de milagros o conquistas, lo que dejó huella fue una vida que honró la autoridad, buscó la presencia de Dios por encima de todo y decidió obedecer aun cuando no era fácil. No fueron personas perfectas, pero sí personas rendidas, sensibles y dispuestas a hacer la voluntad del Padre. Dios siente, se alegra y también se duele. Por eso nuestras decisiones no son indiferentes para Él. Cada acto de obediencia, cada gesto de honra y cada elección diaria puede dejar una marca eterna.
Texas announced the devastating discovery of the remains of missing 19 year old Camila Olmos. In the early morning hours, law enforcement officials revealed that Kohberger, long named a person of interest in the Idaho student homicides, was taken into custody in Pennsylvania following a multi state investigation that had gripped the nation. Court documents and police sources say the arrest followed weeks of forensic analysis, surveillance, and coordination between state and local agencies, marking a critical turning point in one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent years.At the same time, heartbreak swept through a San Antonio community as the Bexar County Sheriff's Office confirmed that a body believed to be Camila Olmos had been found just a few hundred yards from her home in an area of tall grass near a local landscaping site. Camila had been reported missing days earlier, prompting an urgent missing person search amid concerns for her safety. Authorities disclosed that the case involved reported mental health struggles and possible self harm ideation, details that shaped both the investigation and the public response. Despite multiple search efforts, her body was not located until a second sweep of the area, underscoring how difficult ground searches can be even when the location is painfully close.Former law enforcement officials and investigators have emphasized that these outcomes, while tragic, reflect the complex realities of modern investigations. From the Idaho murders to the Camila Olmos case, both stories highlight the intersection of true crime, mental health, and the immense pressure faced by families and communities waiting for answers. As the legal process moves forward for Bryan Kohberger and Texas authorities continue to finalize identification and investigative findings in Camila's case, questions remain about prevention, transparency, and how warning signs are handled before lives are lost. This developing news story continues to unfold, leaving behind grief, unanswered questions, and a renewed national conversation about violence, missing persons, and justice.#CamilaOlmos #MissingPerson #TrueCrime #BreakingNews #CrimeNews #JusticeForVictims #UniversityOfIdaho #SanAntonioCrime

This video/podcast focuses on the Camila Mendoza Olmos case from the ground up, anchored by what has been publicly reported by investigators and credible local and national outlets. The 19-year-old woman vanished on Christmas Eve after leaving home on foot. Over the next six days, the search expanded, drawing in law enforcement, federal partners, organized volunteer teams, drones, and K-9 resources. A key development came from dashcam video that appeared to show a person believed to be Camila walking near a roadway shortly after she was last seen on home surveillance. Her father emphatically denies it's his daughter but days later, deputies and FBI agents located human remains and a firearm in tall grass only a few hundred yards from her home.We're getting that update in real time, because Sheriff Javier Salazar came out within the last half hour in a hastily called press conference and confirmed that a body has been found during the search. He also made it clear that it's still too early to say definitively that the body is Camila—he stressed that the Medical Examiner will make the final identification, and that could take days, possibly even a week. At this point, the sheriff said he does not suspect foul play, but the scene is still being processed carefully, because that's how you protect evidence and get the truth. Examine the behavioral reality of how a person in crisis can appear calm or even briefly “better” when internal conflict gives way to a final decision. We'll explore why investigators pay attention to routines like her walking habits, and those digital breadcrumbs that may have prompted the return to the location she was discovered. We'll also address a common misconception about suicide by firearms where national data now shows more women might be turning to guns in their final moments.#ProfilingEvil #CamilaMendozaOlmos #BexarCounty #SanAntonio #Texas #BCSO #SheriffSalazar #NorthwestVistaCollege #MissingPerson #CLEARAlert #TexasEquuSearch #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #SearchAndRescue #Forensics #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #WildhorseParkway========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we cover two heartbreaking missing-person cases out of Texas. First, there is a tragic update in the search for Camila Mendoza Olmos, a missing teenager whose body was discovered in a field near her home. Authorities say foul play is not suspected, but the family is devastated as they wait for official identification.We walk through what is known so far, including statements from law enforcement and Camila's parents, who say she would never intentionally harm herself. We then turn to the ongoing and deeply troubling disappearance of Sydney Marquez, a 24-year-old neuroscience graduate who vanished while visiting friends in Houston.Surveillance footage, abandoned belongings, and a mysterious phone access issue have left her family desperate for answers. Texas EquiSearch has joined the search, but leads remain limited. Sydney's parents are urging anyone with information — regardless of immigration status — to come forward.

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we cover the urgent disappearance of 19-year-old Camila Mendoza Olmos, who went missing from Bexar County, Texas, on Christmas Eve. Camila was last seen leaving her family's home early that morning. Surveillance footage shows her near her vehicle, and newly released dash-cam video captures her walking along a nearby roadway shortly before she vanished. Her phone was later found at home, uncharged, and her car was still parked at the residence. Authorities say Camila may be in imminent danger, prompting an extensive search involving local law enforcement, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. Investigators are exploring all possibilities, including whether she left voluntarily or was taken against her will. Due to the area's proximity to major highways and known trafficking corridors, officials are urging the public to remain vigilant. Family members, friends, volunteers, and search organizations have joined efforts on the ground, using drones and coordinated search teams. Camila's parents have made emotional pleas for her safe return, emphasizing how loved and missed she is. This episode focuses only on verified facts released by authorities and credible reporting. Rumors and online speculation can hinder investigations, and accuracy matters when time is critical.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
In this episode, Dr Angela Puca unpacks one of the most fascinating questions in the study and practice of magic: how does magic actually work? Drawing on both historical and contemporary scholarship, she explores the six major explanatory models: the spirit, psychological, natural or energetic, information or cybernetic, sociological, and transcendent or mystical frameworks. Each reveals a different way magicians and scholars have tried to understand the mechanisms of ritual power, from relationships with spirits and manipulation of subtle forces to consciousness engineering and divine realisation. Whether you're a practitioner, scholar, or simply curious about how magic makes sense of the impossible, this episode will deepen your understanding of what really happens when magic works.CONNECT & SUPPORT
En el marco del PMH2, el encuentro sectorial de hidrógeno organizado por Ariema, el programa H2 Intereconomía ha reunido este martes a expertos de la industria para debatir sobre las aplicaciones del hidrógeno en la industria española y su papel en la descarbonización industrial. Durante la mesa redonda titulada “Usos Industriales del Hidrógeno”, se han analizado las aplicaciones más relevantes del hidrógeno en la industria, los retos para su implantación a gran escala, su contribución a la reducción de costes y emisiones, y los incentivos y políticas públicas necesarios para impulsar su uso en España. Íñigo Pedrosa, responsable de Proyectos de Rendimiento Industrial de Holcim, ha explicado la estrategia de descarbonización de la compañía y el rol de los combustibles verdes, incluido el hidrógeno, en sus procesos industriales. Manuel Breva Calatayud, secretario general de ANFFECC, ha abordado las soluciones que el sector cerámico está explorando para reducir la huella de carbono sin comprometer la calidad y competitividad del producto.

¿Y si el infierno sí fuera real? Vivimos en tiempos donde muchos prefieren creer que no existe, que Dios nunca castigaría o que todos, al final, seremos salvos. Pero la Biblia enseña otra verdad: hay dos destinos, y uno de ellos es una eternidad lejos de la presencia de Dios. El infierno no es un mito ni una metáfora, es el resultado de una vida que decide rechazar el amor y la gracia de Jesús. Jesús mismo habló de él, no para asustarnos, sino para advertirnos y recordarnos que cada decisión tiene consecuencias eternas. No se trata de miedo, sino de amor. De entender que la salvación es un regalo que debe recibirse con obediencia y fe.
Gregory Nava's "Selena" is a good biography-genre film about the life of Tejana musician/songwriter Selena Quintanilla-Pérez famously played by Jennifer Lopez. This film showcases the chase of the American Dream that we all strive for. Selena's life was practically a movie in itself - there highs and lows of her personal life and the life of a singer touring across America, trying to make it with her family. There are moments of melodrama, thriller, comedy, and romance of course. I dig the film for the way Nava directed it. He brought out Selena to life and chose the direction of the film to be a portrait of an American family - the very one that put their lives on the line for success and happiness. It came true but a price was paid. I dig the cinematography of the film. You look at the film and it doesn't look like a Hollywood film, it looks natural and appeasing to the eye. A lot of attention to detail in all kinds of aspects of the film from wardrobe to set design. I want to give a great highlighted mention to Edward James Olmos who stars as Selena' father, Abraham. Give the Oscar to Olmos. The man portrayed an American father with values that go beyond American and Olmos gave a great performance of that. I would see the film again just to see the way Olmos embodied Abraham.Three and a half out of four tokes.
¿Alguna vez te has sentido menospreciado, ignorado o juzgado por lo que eres o por lo que haces? El desprecio duele, sobre todo cuando viene de quienes más amamos. Pero lo que para otros puede parecer insignificante, Dios lo mira con ternura y propósito. La Biblia nos muestra que incluso aquellos que fueron rechazados —como David, Lea o el mismo Jesús— fueron levantados por Dios y cubiertos de honra. Porque donde otros ven poco valor, Él ve un corazón dispuesto. Si has vivido el desprecio, recuerda: no define tu identidad ni tu destino. Dios puede transformar el dolor en propósito, y el rechazo en una plataforma de bendición.
¿Te has sorprendido buscando culpables para justificar tus decisiones? Desde Adán y Eva hasta nosotros hoy, el ser humano ha tenido la misma tendencia: evadir la responsabilidad, inventar excusas y culpar a otros por lo que hizo. Dios sigue preguntando: “¿Qué has hecho?” No para condenarnos, sino para llevarnos a la verdad, al reconocimiento y al cambio. Asumir lo que hacemos con humildad es el primer paso hacia una vida libre de engaños, apariencias y victimismo. Porque con Dios no sirven las excusas, solo un corazón dispuesto a decir: “Sí, fallé… pero quiero hacerlo bien.”

When Calculus Meets Heart: Stand and Deliver Gets the Math TreatmentWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell tackle the 1988 inspirational drama Stand and Deliver, starring Edward James Olmos as real-life teacher Jaime Escalante. This episode dives into whether this classroom classic still holds up or if it's just another case of sitting through endless math problems.The Good, The Bad, and The CalculusThe hosts appreciate Edward James Olmos' committed, Academy Award-nominated performance—he even underwent hair thinning for the role and followed the real teacher around for research. Lou Diamond Phillips also shines as Angel, the charismatic bad boy with hidden depths. However, Krissy and Nathan find themselves wanting more emotional depth and character development. They argue that while the movie succeeds as inspiration, it fails to show the real struggles and motivations that would drive these students to commit so deeply to advanced mathematics.The discussion takes an interesting turn when they question the practicality of teaching calculus versus life skills like tax accounting. They also critique the film's structure, noting that despite being billed as a comedy, it's more of a straightforward drama that keeps viewers at arm's length from the action. The hosts give Stand and Deliver a solid 6 out of 10, appreciating its heart while acknowledging its limitations.Additional Thoughts:The movie should have been called "Sit and Calculate" given how much sitting and math occursMore scenes showing students' home lives and personal struggles would have strengthened the narrativeThe ending needed more follow-up on what happened to these students after passing their AP examsEdward James Olmos deserved the Oscar over Michael Douglas that yearThe film lacks the dramatic tension found in other inspirational teacher moviesFinal VerdictWhile Stand and Deliver remains an earnest tribute to dedicated educators and student potential, the hosts feel it plays things too safe. It's a movie that works better in memory than on rewatch, though Olmos' powerhouse performance still delivers the goods.Ready to join the conversation about your favorite 80s movies?
