Who are the toxic coaches? Name names before we pay.

Agree 100% with this!

Derek Melo is an excellent coach and a caring person. He is passionate and uncompromising…his style may not be for everyone. My son has trained with Derek for many years, both on his teams and individually. In all cases, I have observed Derek to be highly professional; he is the unique person who not only excels at a sport at an elite level, but can also coach and teach it as well. He is very honest about players and their performances. In communicating shortcomings, he also offers instruction and drills to improve. While sometimes uncomfortable, these interactions are essential to player development. My son’s love for the game and his work ethic and play level were all positively impacted by Derek’s example and effort. I can see that someone may have disagreements with Derek’s style, but he is far from toxic. He greatly cares about his athletes and his teams and makes a full commitment of thought and energy to any program he is a part of. I feel very fortunate that my son connected with Derek…he has grown as a player and as a person through his interactions with this creative and energetic coach.

So was this:

There's a rich tapestry of Western lore built around Rocky Mountain oysters, thanks to the food's cowboy provenance. There are old tales of ranch hands holding big parties to fry up the testicles. Some ranches still hold so-called "nut frys." In some corners, they're an aphrodisiac.

I think that eating deep-fried testicles gives me some magical ability to relate more to the farmers and ranchers I talk with on a daily basis. But I do think it's important to be open to new foods, especially ones with deep roots in a culture. What's gross to one person is a delicacy to another and an everyday, traditional dish to someone else. Our food carries meaning, which I'm always curious to explore.

That's why I decided to consult an expert, someone to bring me back to reality and explain that yes, these are just testicles, and any meaning you load them with is purely your own. I found that perspective in Bruce's no-nonsense kitchen manager Dennis Guffy. He's been at Bruce's for more than 40 years. Guffy has prepared tons — actual tons — of "oysters" in his career.

"I've worked with these things for 40 years and I still like them," Guffy says while skinning a bull testicle the size of a large avocado. "For as many as I've handled and cooked, I still like them. I think they're awesome."

I peppered Guffy with questions while he turned the whole huevo into the battered, fried oysters customers expect.

has called for ways to be found to improve economic development after saying that a failure to provide people with basic living necessities including food is a "serious political issue", state media reported on Thursday.

Kim made the remarks while discussing regional development in a speech at the 19th Enlarged Meeting of the Political Bureau of the 8th Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, the country's ruling party, held between Tuesday and Wednesday, according to KCNA.
North Korea has over recent decades suffered serious food shortages, including famine in the 1990s, often exacerbated by natural disasters such as floods damaging harvests.

The food situation in North Korea was "still bad" despite an uptick in trade with China, South Korea's unification minister, who is charged with handling relations with its neighbour, said last year.

The North Korean leader also urged his party to bring about a swift change to raise the living standards of people throughout the country and close the gaps between urban and rural areas through its new regional development policy.

Kim announced the policy at a Supreme People's Assembly meeting held earlier this month.

"The overall regional economy is in a terrible situation without elementary conditions and there are severe imbalances and huge gaps between regions in terms of their geographical circumstances, economic potential and living circumstances," Kim was quoted as saying.

"We should not sit by and wait till the situation and conditions turn favourable but find more jobs to be faithful to our duty for the sake of the people," he added.

North Korea, which is under strict international sanctions over its banned weapons programmes, came under further economic pressure during the pandemic when its limited border trade was virtually choked off by self-imposed lockdowns aimed at preventing COVID-19.

Buddy Ryan is a bit on the toxic side of coaching.

Unless you experiencing a toxic coach, you are forbidden from commenting on it. BC Mom has set the rules.

Suck it slowly.

Are you for real? You must be from Stoughton.

Do you know who I am?

[Guest]

Indeed he has for a couple years or so. He isn't abusive but he is rough around the edges. He doesn't hold back his opinion and doesn't pull punches. Is that the best thing for U10s? Guess that's debatable.

One thing I will say is that he is an extremely talented footballer which is something you rarely find from U10-U12 coaches.

Our Heavenly Father is always ready to hear and answer our prayers. The power of our prayers depends on us. As we strive to make prayer a part of our lives, we should remember this counsel:

Make our prayers meaningful. The prophet Mormon warned that if anyone “shall pray and not with real intent of heart … it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.”² To make our prayers meaningful, we must pray with sincerity and “with all the energy of heart.”³ We must be careful to avoid “vain repetitions” when we pray.⁴

Use language that shows love, respect, reverence, and closeness. The application of this principle will vary according to different languages. If we pray in English, for example, we should use the pronouns of the scriptures when we address God—Thee, Thou, Thy, and Thine, rather than the more common pronouns you, your, and yours. Regardless of the language, the principle remains the same: When we pray, we should use words that appropriately convey a loving, worshipful relationship with God.

Always give thanks to Heavenly Father. We should “live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon [us].”⁵ As we take time to remember our blessings, we will recognize how much our Heavenly Father has done for us. We should express our thanks to Him.
