Leonard Abess Jr Gives $60 Million To His Banking Employees

Lots of bosses say they value their employees. Some even mean it.

After selling a majority stake in Miami-based City National Bancshares last November, all he did was take $60 million of the proceeds -- $60 million out of his own pocket -- and hand it to his tellers, bookkeepers, clerks, everyone on the payroll. All 399 workers on the staff received bonuses, and he even tracked down 72 former employees so they could share in the windfall. LINK

This story reminded me of the good there is out there in people. He deserves props for his generosity. Now that's a good man, definitely not greedy.

Pocket Telescope/Microscope

This little 6 power telescope looks like a handsome pen and is small enough to be carried in your pocket.

It is as powerful as many small binoculars, but unlike binoculars it can focus on objects as close as five feet — which also makes it great for poking around in museums, etc.

A great plus is that it can be used (with the included attachment) as a 30 power microscope to inspect really small things like slivers, tool edges, or spider mites on your plants.

Complete with a hard-shell case for storage. Metal tube with glass optics and a 10mm objective lens. Measures 5" overall; 7-1/2" with microscope attachment. LINK
