Kinds of feedback people give
How to cope by asking questions before redirecting the conversation
How to use a fun outlet to process your negative thoughts and emotions

The Institute holds a series of seminars concerning various aspects of leadership that can be utilized by business, community and school leaders. The seminars can also be specialized to fit the needs of a specific organization or group.
Student Forums
Throughout Texas, local organizations such as Jaycee Chapters, Chambers of Commerce, colleges and universities, and Electric Cooperatives such as LCRA and ONCOR sponsor student forums. The participants learn the basics of leadership, communication skills, and goal setting, exchange ideas with local leaders and develop a project to focus on local issues to continue their training and education. Some fifty student forums are held throughout Texas each year, reaching approximately 5,000 high school students.
Summer Teacher Institute
Each summer, the Institute sponsors a month long education program for current teachers. The accepted participants can earn six hours of graduate credit and are eligible for a scholarship that covers the cost of tuition, books, and lodging during the institute, with an option of returning for a second summer of graduate studies.
The Annual Forum is designed to bring together the experience and wisdom of today's established leaders with the energy and idealism of young emerging leaders to develop skills and ideas necessary to meet the challenges of future generations of Texans. In addition to those who have completed the nomination process, selected members of student forums are invited to attend. During this unique weekend conference, participants develop visions of leadership to encourage them to think specifically of application to issues in their communities.
Student Leadership Camp
Each summer, the Institute hosts an intensive weeklong leadership camp for up to thirty high school students on campus. The goal of the camp is to return students to their respective communities prepared to assume leadership roles at their schools and become involved in public service.
The Institute annually recognizes outstanding Texans with the Outstanding Texas Leader and Outstanding Local Leader awards. Nominations come from the general public, business, academic and political entities. In addition, recognition is given to outstanding students who have met the award criteria.
JBS Crisis Leadership and Learning Center
The JBS Crisis Leadership and Learning Center (CLLC) is an interactive, technology-intensive classroom designed to teach leadership and other related topics through the use of simulations. Currently under construction, it will be operational for the Fall 2017 semester. A group of ten to twenty participants, initially present in the CLLC but eventually networked in from any of the four corners of Texas through the use of remote access technology, will be assigned roles in a simulation of historical or present day events, then bombarded with information and forced to make decisions under pressure to deal with the crisis being simulated. Through this process, participants will be taught the value of leadership, what leadership looks like under pressure, and their own potential as leaders. Depending on the simulation, the participants may also learn important lessons related to other topics, including emergency management, criminal justice, financial literacy, etc.

Gridpay 1.0.0
We've been working on our marketing strategy over the past couple of weeks and trying to come with the best ideas of how to generate awareness about our product, while on a shoestring budget. This is obviously a problem that all start-ups face, and something we knew we would have to tackle head on from the start.
"Build it and they will come!"
It's hard to accept the dishonesty of this statement, especially when we have been working so hard on a product that we believe in, and are incredibly proud of. But we accept the truth, and like all businesses, know we are fighting for the small amount of attention people are willing to give.
Our product is built around trust, B2B and B2C. It's a cloud-based website application that supports people doing business together. Think DocuSign meets PayPal and you're on your way to understanding what we offer. The tricky part is getting that across to people without confusing them.
We started building Gridpay in Early September 2018 and it was launched in early April 2019. We now have several small to medium size businesses using the application, all of whom are very positive about the impact Gridpay has had on their business. We have had to make the odd tweak here an there to keep everyone happy and are still updating daily to improve the application. But generally, we are very happy with how it has all gone.
We all agreed at the start, the moment we moved from beta into first release, we would all have to switch our focus from development into marketing. While it's not our main area of expertise, we just don't have the budget currently to hire more people. We feel were up for the challenge and excited about what's to come.
We are going to tackle social media first. Mainly because it's free to start and feel we need to start building our profile first, before moving into paid advertising. We have several different ideas based on the audience we think we will attract on each platform and are ready to split test as we go.
If you are interested in our progress or are in a similar position to us, we would love to hear from you.

В началото на 2011 Станимир Стоилов го взима в Анортозис, но Ричард не успява да се наложи и след уволнението на Стоилов е продаден на Алки Ларнака. На 5 януари 2012 подписва контракт с Берое за 1,5 + 1 години.

Mother Nature has given us a cooler than expected summer, and with every north breeze the excitement of the fall tailgating season in Nebraska gets stronger. When most people think of Nebraska tailgating, they think of a sea of red inside and around Memorial Stadium. They think of figuring out the game time, the travel time, their parking arrangement, the supplies, the food and the beverages. This article will show you how you can tailgate in Nebraska, with products from Nebraska businesses.
The smell and sound of a grill is the main course for most tailgate enthusiasts. It's remarkably easy to bring meat directly from the farm to your tailgate. Hot dogs, brats and sausages are the first thing I think of when lighting the pregame fire. My main stop for these items is Harvest Valley Foods run by Don and Jeanne Stoltenberg. Their farm is located just a couple minutes off Highway 75 at 15303 S. 36th Street in Bellevue. They've been active at the Aksarben Village Farmer's Market and their farm store is open on the weekends. Harvest Valley has an excellent selection of hot dogs, Italian sausage, and bratwursts. While many people may go for the traditional bratwurst, they offer pineapple, jalapeño cheddar, Swiss mushroom and even a pizza brat. For those that want to spend a little more time outside and have a smoker, Harvest Valley also has spare and baby back ribs in stock. Harvest Valley's bacon and breakfast sausages are fantastic. My personal favorite combination is frying up a batch of their pepper bacon, then cooking a few farm fresh eggs in the remaining bacon grease. The pepper from the bacon permeates into the eggs for an extra kick in the morning.
If a trip to the farm or the market is out of the question, then North Star Neighbors from Fullerton is a magnificent resource. Jim and Carolyn Knopik run an ever expanding operation with beef, poultry, pork, eggs and more. Signing up for their e-mail distribution is an effective way to see what products they have in stock, their prices and delivery schedule. For a small fee they will deliver right to your door. Their selection is perfect for larger groups as tailgaters can pick and choose what they want delivered resulting in a spectacular assortment of meats on the grill before the game.
The meaty main course is delivered, but perhaps a bit more flavor is needed. JB's Fatboy rubs from Lincoln has an excellent mix of rubs and sauces for marinating in advance or adding flavor on the fly.
Erin Malzer, Chief Marketing Officer of JB's Fatboy says, "JB's Fat Boy sauces are made specifically to caramelize on top of the meat while cooking. We use very little water in production, which results in a sauce that is thicker in texture and more fully flavored while not falling off the meat while grilling. If you want more sauce, it can also be used as a dipping sauce after cooking".
With the wide array of flavors, Malzer offered a few recommendations: "The Sweet Rub is especially good on pork chops, pork ribs, and chicken breast or wings. If you want a little more spice, the Cowgirl Ride 'Em Rub is the way to go, and for larger cuts of meat, try Angus Rub".
So we've got the meat covered, literally, now it's time to add to the tailgate plate. Kirk and Jodi Jacobs run the Nebraska Pantry from their hometown of Mullen. Their dips are as diverse in flavors as they are with ideas of how to serve them.
For crock pot enthusiasts, you can beat together eight ounces of cream cheese to a package of the Pepper Jack and put into a small crock pot, add one pound of cooked sausage, crumbled and serve warm with tortilla chips while tailgating".
The meat is done and the dips are down. The next quest is to find the vehicle for these tasty endeavors to move to our mouth. If a light, crisp tortilla chip is your pleasure, then Jacobo's Mexican grocer on 24th and L Streets in Omaha makes them right there in the store. Grocers such as Hy-Vee and Target carry Melina's chips. Based in Gretna, their chips are firm enough to hold up to a robust dip or salsa, yet light enough to be eaten with ease. My favorite flour tortilla chips are from Erick's Enchiladas. They make batches that can be purchased at the Old Market Farmer's Market, or their store front on 13th street just south of downtown. These chips are excellent for nachos or heavier dips. All three establishments also offer salsas. Jacobo's mild salsa is thick, rich and has an excellent mix of tomato, onion, cilantro and heat. For people who want a little more spice, Erick's salsa verde has a nice tang, and a heat that builds as you eat it. It's also a good edition to eggs or breakfast burritos in the morning.
The meats are coming off the grill and the table is filled with fine food. It's now time to find a beverage to enjoy the cuisine and company with. With the increase in local microbreweries such as Infusion, Farnam House, and Benson Brewery among others, Nebraskan's have a much greater local selection than ever before. I stopped by Max and Joe's at 3758 Farnam Street to speak with Chris Bettini, who bartends and also does the social media work for Beer Corner USA, to ask what he'd recommend for your tailgating efforts.
"Thunderhead's (from Kearney) Leatherhead Red is a real popular football season beer" said Bettini. "Nebraska Brewing Company's Eos Heifeveisen is an excellent choice for a 'beer mimosa' and Zipline's Oatmeal Porter is a rich, flavorful beer perfect for breakfast – especially in colder weather".
Bettini added that both Borgata and Cut Spike distillery are now producing local vodkas for Bloody Mary drinkers.
For those needing a non alcoholic beverage, Purple Cane Road Root Beer is a perfect alternative. Purple Cane Road is a small family business located in La Vista. Every time I visit the Downtown Omaha Farmer's market, a stop by their stand is a must. It's a rich, full flavor with a smooth finish. It's a drink that should be sipped and savored, not rushed. It can be purchased in a beautiful wine bottle in advance of your tailgate from the market or by appointment in La Vista.
"We recommend chilling a bottle down to 33 degrees and serving cold with no ice (ice dilutes the flavor). A bottle will chill in an hour or two in the fridge," said Ashley Broin of Purple Cane Road.
The food and spirits are extremely important at a tailgate. If you have nothing to cook them, serve them, or consume them with, your experience has significant obstacles. Luckily, a local store like Husker Hounds just south of 84th and Center can provide a festive and functional arsenal of supplies for Saturday chefs.
"We have grills shaped like footballs, we have Husker aprons, chef hats and chef mitts. We have Saillong tailgating tables shaped like Memorial Stadium that you can set all of your food on" said Scott Strunc, owner of Husker Hounds.
The store's cooler selection is outstanding. They have jumbo coolers, soft coolers, coolers on wheels and stands. My favorite is one made by Cool Wave. It stays open easily, with a nice flat surface and divider. I envision it to be perfect for the chef who needs their auxiliary ingredients available in a timely manner and at optimum temperature. It's also a perfect fit for keeping condiments cold without freezing your hands in ice cubes to find the mustard. Husker Hounds can also meet any glassware needs.
Tailgating is an activity Nebraskans look forward to all week – and all year. Anticipation of the big game, the camaraderie of friends and family, the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of a tailgate make the work week worth it. While the results of your team's game may be uncertain, one thing isn't; the quality and diversity of cooking and drinking with Nebraska food, spirits and supplies.

Aaron, Henry Louis (Hank)
Alonford James Robinson
The third of eight children, Henry Louis Aaron was born in Mobile, Alabama, to Estella and Herbert Aaron. His first experience with professional baseball came in the Negro Leagues, as he moved up through the ranks with the Pritchett Athletics, the Mobile Black Bears, and the Indianapolis Clowns. In 1952, the Boston Braves of the newly integrated major leagues signed Aaron to play shortstop in their farm system. Moving from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to Jacksonville, Florida, Aaron made it to the majors in 1954, playing for the Milwaukee Braves (now the Atlanta Braves).
Aaron is considered by some to be the best baseball player in history. Over his twenty-three-year major league career, Aaron compiled more batting records than any other player in baseball history. He holds the record for runs batted in (RBIs) with 2,297, and was a Gold Glove Winner in 1958, 1959 ...
Ali, Muhammad
Gerald Early
world champion boxer and political activist, was born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville, Kentucky, the eldest of two sons raised by Cassius Clay Sr., a sign painter and something of a frustrated artist, and Odessa Grady, a domestic. Young Clay began to take boxing lessons at the age of twelve because someone had stolen his bicycle and he was determined to exact revenge against the perpetrators. He never discovered who stole his bike, but he did blossom as a young fighter, taking instruction from the Louisville policeman Joe Martin. His brother, Rudolph Arnette Clay (Rudolph Valentino Clay in some sources and later Rahaman Ali), also took up boxing, but, lacking his brother's talent, never became a significant presence in the sport.
Clay became a gym rat feeling that he could succeed in boxing as he never could in school Although he showed no special ability in his ...

McKay Jenkins
tennis player, author, and political activist, was born Arthur Robert Ashe Jr. in Richmond, Virginia, the son of Arthur Ashe Sr., a police officer, and Mattie Cunningham. Tall and slim as a young boy, Ashe was forbidden by his father to play football; he took up tennis instead on the segregated playground courts at Brookfield Park, near his home. By the time he was ten years old he came under the tutelage of a local tennis fan and physician from Lynchburg, R. Walter Johnson. Johnson had previously nurtured the talents of Althea Gibson, who became the first African American to win Wimbledon, in 1957 and 1958, and his second protégé would prove no less successful. Johnson was an exacting coach he had his charges practice hitting tennis balls with broom handles to develop their hand eye coordination But his lessons extended beyond tennis he also ...
Michelle S. Hite
tennis player, activist, broadcast journalist, and humanitarian. Born in Richmond, Virginia, Arthur Robert Ashe Jr. was the son of Arthur and Mattie Ashe. Arthur experienced a traumatic loss at age six when his mother died suddenly. He turned inward and toward books and learning. An excellent student, he graduated first in his high school class. Given his appetite for books, success as a student was likely; however, given his physical stature, his success as a tennis player was a surprise. Though physically small, the skills he honed on the public recreational courts, maintained by his father, helped mold him into a top player.
Coming of age in segregated Richmond Virginia shaped Ashe s early tennis experiences and informed his political consciousness He was not allowed to compete on the city s best courts or in the city s top tournaments To improve his game he ...

Ashford, Emmett Littleton
Larry R. Gerlach
baseball umpire, was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Littleton Ashford, a truck driver, and Adele Bain. Ashford was two or three years old when his father abandoned the family, so he grew up under the strong influence of his mother, a secretary for the California Eagle, an African American newspaper published in Los Angeles. As a youth, Ashford exhibited the traits that marked him in adult life as a gregarious extrovert. At Jefferson High School he was a sprinter on the track team, a member of the scholastic honor society, and the first African American to serve as president of the student body and as editor of the school newspaper. He graduated from Los Angeles City College and attended Chapman College in nearby Orange from 1940 to 1941. From 1944 until 1947 he served in the U.S. Navy.

baseball player, was born in Greenville, North Carolina. As a teenager working in the tobacco fields he honed his skills as a pitcher. His first exposure to professional baseball came in 1936 when the manager of the visiting Wilson Stars from Wilson, North Carolina, spotted his burgeoning talent.

Brown, Roosevelt "Rosey"
Hall of Fame football player, was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, to Roosevelt Brown, a railroad worker, and Catherine Jackson Brown. He attended Jefferson High School, where he played trombone in the school band because his father forbade him from playing football.

Rosey's father, who was worried because Rosey's uncle had died from a football injury, finally relented after Rosey played a full season injury free in 1945. Brown played four years of high school football, graduating in 1948.
After high school, Brown attended Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, mainly because his high school coach was an alumnus. Brown was a standout lineman on the football team and was named to the 1952 Negro All-America team selected by the Pittsburgh Courier He also wrestled while in college and ...
Bullock, Matthew Washington
Gregory Travis Bond
athlete, football coach, college administrator, lawyer, and public servant, was born in Dabney, North Carolina, to former slaves Jesse Bullock and Amanda Sneed Bullock.

After a brief stay in Boston, the family settled in Everett, Massachusetts, in about 1894, where Bullock first made a name for himself as an athlete. At Everett High School he excelled at football, baseball, and ice hockey, and his teammates elected him to serve as the captain of each of these teams his senior season.
After graduating in 1900 Bullock entered Dartmouth College which like many schools outside of the South admitted black students and encouraged them to participate in the life of the school Bullock took advantage of the wide range ...

He moved on to the exclusive Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire for the next school year and enrolled at Harvard University in 1909.
Cable had not participated in organized athletics in high school, but he tried out for the freshman track team at Harvard and caught the eye of Coach Pat Quinn.

Kimberly Cheek
track-and-field athlete, was born John Wesley Carlos in Harlem, New York, the youngest of five children of Earl Vanderbilt Carlos, a cobbler, and Vioris Carlos, a nurse's aide. Initially Carlos desired to become an Olympic swimmer, but few African Americans had access to suitable training facilities for those events.

Prince Rupert Port Authority Unveils New Harbour Patrol Vessel
Home / News / Prince Rupert Port Authority Unveils New Harbour Patrol Vessel
The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) held a vessel blessing celebration today in honour of its newest harbour patrol vessel, the AMWAAL.
The vessel and the harbour safety team that crew her are a mainstay of PRPA's commitment to marine safety. The new vessel features industry-leading equipment including navigation, communications, surveillance, marine fire fighting and high-speed jet-drive maneuverability, all of which will serve to greatly enhance PRPA's marine safety capabilities. The vessel will also provide access to outer anchorages and local communities, and has a stable platform for PRPA's in-house environmental monitoring programs and strengthened search and rescue support capability via onboard direction-finding equipment. The addition of the AMWAAL enhances the Prince Rupert Port Authority's marine safety presence and allows staff to continue making a safe port even safer.
The AMWAAL was blessed by Sm'ooygit Gitxoon (Hereditary Chief Alex Campbell) and Sm'ooygit Niist'ooyx (Hereditary Chief Clarence Nelson) in the Ts'msyen tradition. The name AMWAAL is derived from the Sm'algyax word meaning 'prosperity'. The name was chosen in consultation with Ts'msyen hereditary leaders and PRPA's Board of Directors as a symbol of the shared, long-term community benefits that have resulted from port opportunities.
"We are proud to welcome the AMWAAL to our fleet, especially in a way that honours maritime tradition on the North Coast," said Shaun Stevenson, President and CEO of the Prince Rupert Port Authority. "Marine safety is a top priority of the Prince Rupert Port Authority and we are deeply committed to ensuring that vessels transiting our waters do so in a safe and sustainable manner. As the Port of Prince Rupert continues to grow, investments in marine safety enhancements such as the addition of the AMWAAL contribute to leading edge marine safety resources at the Prince Rupert gateway."
"The Lax Kw'alaams Hereditary Chiefs' Council is pleased that the Prince Rupert Port Authority is honouring our culture through not only a traditional Ts'msyen vessel blessing, but also by choosing to name the vessel AMWAAL. We share the value of protecting our waters with the Prince Rupert Port Authority and are impressed with the marine safety enhancements the vessel brings to the North Coast," said Sm'ooygit Gitxoon (Hereditary Chief Alex Campbell) of the Lax Kw'alaams Hereditary Chiefs' Council.

FTL: Advanced Edition Warps to PC and iPad in Early 2014
Trust indie developers to remind us that "free expansions" actually do exist. Aside from providing more substantial content than some paid DLCs, Subset Games' upcoming FTL: Advanced Edition comes with a surprising titbit: work contributed by a certain Chris Avellone.
The expansion includes just about everything you've come to expect from spaceship roguelike sensation, FTL: Faster Than Light. That pretty much means "new weapons, drones, augments, systems, enemies, and more." The announcement provides two examples, namely the Mind Control System and Hacking System. Getting the enemy's medical bay to hurt rather than heal sounds morbidly exciting, especially if you're opting to kill the crew without blowing up the ship. As this is a top-down 2D game, you'll have to imagine how that mess would go about – I'm thinking Surgeon Simulator 2013.
There'll also be new weapon mechanics at play. Overcharging a weapon to increase volley count or using area effect targeting are very much welcome additions; it looks like these will add even more risky options to a game where dying is pretty much the norm. Nobody said being a rebel was easy.
As for Chris Avellone, the narrative designer for Project Eternity and Wasteland 2 has somehow managed to squeeze in time as a guest writer for FTL: Advanced Edition. Together with Tom Jubert, the writing team has helped to "add a new sector and scatter new events throughout the rest of the game." We won't be seeing a space epic come out of this but who knows, we might just run into an interesting set of missions.
The PC expansion will coincide with the game's debut on iPad in early 2014.
Subset being a two-man studio, they can't promise that FTL will come to other tablets although they do say expanding support will be their "next highest priority." Smartphones, on the other hand, just don't meet the mark when it comes to screen size.
If you already own the game and are now itching to replay it, don't forget to try the mods.

Does God want me saved?
I feel almost emotionless and wish I had faith. I've been through so much at 24. My mom chose drugs over me, my mom is a possible sociopath and does not care, I constantly try to please people but just get hurt, I have lost interest in my boyfriend, and I get turned on so much lately. I was told that God hates some... show more I feel almost emotionless and wish I had faith. I've been through so much at 24. My mom chose drugs over me, my mom is a possible sociopath and does not care, I constantly try to please people but just get hurt, I have lost interest in my boyfriend, and I get turned on so much lately. I was told that God hates some people and loves some. Paul washer said that.
Paul Washer was wrong. "For God so loved the whole world, that He sent His only Son... to save us. John 3:16. God loves you - always has, always will. Scriptures remind us that God desires that all mankind would come to Him and be saved. One caveat: God does hate a sinner that will not repent.
That's a decent, good question. According to the Bible, Jehovah(God's name as found in the Bible...) doesn't desire for any to be destroyed. (2 Peter 3:9) If you want to get your life back on track and lead yourself to having the best life you can, following the Bible's counsel is the best way. Jehovah Himself let's people know that one of the things He does through use of the Bible is teach people how to benefit themselves. (Isaiah 48:17 & 18) To learn more about the what the Bible teaches, visit the site below listed in the 'Source' section.
Paul Washer is demonic, avoid him. He lies.
Jesus is God. Jesus loves you! Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death. The only way to heaven is by believing in Jesus. The truth is that believing in Jesus to take you to heaven apart from any of your works, is the only way to heaven. Jesus paid it all, so believe in Jesus, and you're saved. There is no chance to be saved after death. Jesus Christ is God, Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins, all sins past and future, to make all our sins forgiven, past and future, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works or deeds or religions or anything. You cannot add any works to salvation (Romans 4:5). So to be in heaven and not in eternal torment in the lake of fire, believe in Jesus Christ to take you to heaven. That easy! Tell Jesus right now that you believe in Jesus for eternal life, and you will be in heaven! Jesus loves you and wants to bless you now and throughout your life and forever.
God wants you saved so much that he took on the form of a human and died so that you could be with Him.
You're a moron. Renaldo Weeks said that.
