Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, is the patron saint of business management. He advised Moses not to take too much on himself, but to teach others the law, so they could teach others; to delegate, so that tasks were shared more equitably and he wouldn’t be worn out; and to keep only the hardest decisions to himself to decide. **Sidebar** : far be it from me to criticise a veteran of the USMC, but shouldn’t that be “flukes” of the anchor, not “flutes”? ---

The fez is a peakless cylindrical felt hat, often featuring a tassel on its top. It takes its name from the city of Fez, Morocco, which was the source of the red berries which were traditionally used to dye the felt. The fez was a common item of headwear in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th Century, as Sultan Mahmud II ordered his military and civil servants to adopt the fez, instead of turbans. ---

Apart from gardens, gift shops and restaurants, it features a typical Moroccan house and a Gallery of Arts and History. ---
