Okay. Fair enough. And could you comment on how some of the external factors in ’19, like lower gas prices and mortgage rates for the consumer, are incorporated in the ’19 outlook? And then, second, what are you assuming around the tariff environment?

To combat this growing concern, 3M recently launched Smog-reducing Granules, which help remove smog pollution using roofing shingles. Integrated throughout a shingle’s surface, the granules are designed with a specialized photocatalytic coating applied to the base mineral. As sunlight hits the shingles, radicals are generated, transforming nitrogen oxide gases into water-soluble ions, thereby improving air quality.

Paprika Grill / $ Down an alley near the Salem Wax Museum sits Paprika Grill, a 12-seat spot serving remarkably good Turkish cuisine. An outdoor garden seats 20 more, but the place is essentially takeout and delivery. The streamlined menu includes seven main dishes, most of them kebabs, available in a bowl of rice, rolled up a wrap, or tucked into pita. The bowls are a fine way to eat this highly seasoned meat, particularly kofte, juicy ground beef meatballs that you can top with hummus, pickled red cabbage, and shredded carrot. Everything here is homemade except the bread. 2 Liberty Street, Salem, 978-551-8186, facebook.com/paprikagrill/ — S.J.

Other traditional tools any good slate roofer should use: slate cutters, hammers, hooks and rippers. To test prospective roofers’ slate knowledge, you can ask them whether they use these tools. Good roofers also know to mix up their supply of slate as they work, rather than pulling from a single pallet, to avoid sudden changes in color.

In his 2009 bestseller, Change by Design, IDEO president and CEO Tim Brown, with IDEO fellow Barry Katz, evangelized design thinking to the business world. In an updated edition, to be published in March, they make the case that the practice can scale up to tackle even society’s most intractable “wicked problems.”

At the top there were three different men who ran the Florida facility. Three very different men were in charge. The top guy was Antonio. His father started the business in the 1940s and Antonio worked for the family business his whole life. Antonio had never had another job. This was all he knew. His father passed and left the business to him and his brothers. One brother died in a car accident on a rainy day. It was a suspicious death because it came just two weeks after he gave an interview to a reporter about the Mafia connection to his industry. He did some name dropping in that interview that landed up in a New York newspaper, then he landed up dead. It was strange because they said he drove off the road on a rainy day, but the man drove race cars so it was hard to believe. The other brother almost destroyed the family business due to a cocaine addiction. During this period Antonio was left with the business. He mortgaged his house to try to save the business from bankruptcy and his brother’s cocaine plunder. There was not enough equity in that house to save it. Hours before the bank was about to take the keys to the business another group of Italians from New York walked in and took over the place. By the time I got to this company they were in this state where Antonio and his crew were contracted to stay on and run things, but they no longer had much say over the important things. Antonio lost the company but was left in charge to run its Florida division only. That is when I met him. That is when I started working for him. I never knew life there when he owned the company. There were others that were with him for decades, their whole adult life even, so it must have been weird for some of them to see him lose the company and wonder what would happen to them. We were thirty years apart in age but Antonio was like some of the guys I grew up with. I understood him very well. He was a tall, trim, good-looking Italian guy who dressed in dress pants and business shirts. He wasn’t a suit and tie guy. The man commanded respect and I liked him from jump street. I knew many men like him in a different world and field of business. I felt very comfortable around him. He knew the business inside and out.
