Each mentor/mentee relationship is different, but building rapport with each other is important on both sides. Being open and honest and establishing trust are also crucial elements of the relationship.

Access Control in the Modern World
Jun 28, 2022 12:00 PM
Access control evolving as anything else in the pandemic environment. Most important that biometric access control is the only technology that can provide touch-free access to escape contamination. Access control systems restrict unauthorized users’ access to facilities and secure areas and equipment within a facility. Common forms of access control systems include PINs, lock-and-key mechanisms, and card readers. However, all come with an inherent security risk: PINs, keys, and cards can be lost or stolen or shared with others and provide limited security for any organization whether it requires tight security or just needs to know who is in the facility. Biometric access control systems, on the other hand, offer the security solution that makes it more challenging for unauthorized users to gain access to facilities, restricted information, or materials. The biometric access control systems are suitable for facilities: ranging from those that require tight security measures such as banks, to large international organizations and small mom and pop companies. Prior to arriving in the United States in 1992; Mr. Levitov served in executive positions with several large scientific and manufacturing companies in Russia, performing R&D services for many classified military projects for the Srednemash Ministry. Mr. Levitov headed up the development for the highly classified first image recognition system for the Russian military, which differentiated between ballistic missiles and airplanes. As a citizen in the United States; Mr. Levitov served in Engineering Management positions for Kinetic Concepts, one of the largest manufacturers of medical equipment, and Pass & Seymour/Le Grand, a global manufacturer of wiring devices. Mr. Levitov has over 20 years of direct development experience in the biometric recognition and is a co-founder of the FaceKey Corporation which he has served as its President since the inception in 1999 and VP of Engineering and CTO from 2021. Under his leadership, FaceKey Corporation has developed four generations of Biometric ID management products.

Thuggizzle Appalachian Mountain Spring Water
Sep 20, 2022 12:00 PM
Phillip Hodge was born with the ability to compose spontaneous poetry. The lyricist has developed a career in music as the rapper Thuggizzle in San Antonio, Texas. He prides himself on rhyming “off the dome,” also known as free styling. It is the most prized skill in rapping, the ability to think of clever, intricate rhymes on the spot, often in competition with another rapper, and while in front of a crowd. But despite the wealth of talent Hodge was born with, the home life of his childhood was one of instability and neglect. Learning How to Channel Stress and Trauma His mother sold drugs, and he and his three sisters grew up in and out of foster care. They were made wards of the state when Hodge was 9 years old. He said his acting out led to him being placed on a number of medications. He felt pigeonholed and was on the verge of living life on the streets. After repeatedly getting in trouble, a staff member at the Baptist Children's Home where he was staying sat Hodge down and set his head on straight. That conversation planted a seed in Hodge’s head about channeling his stress and trauma into music. “I remember an older staff member pulled me to the side and told me, 'Baby, you don’t need these meds, all you have to do is learn to balance your lifestyle and anger. Why don’t you use your music as an outlet?'” It surprised Hodge that the worker remembered that he had an interest in music and rapped. “I made up my mind to do something with my God-given life.” “It was very powerful,” Hodge said later. “That is what opened up the musical outlet. I could say these things and not do them. Because I was doing the stuff I rap about.” “You have to separate who you are from the artist,” he added, noting that if he actually did the acts he and others rap about; they would be in and out of jail constantly. “Rapping is therapy,” he said. “You can put these things into an art form, and actually teach others.” Developing a Career After Aging Out Hodge first adopted the stage name “Young Thugster,” but later modified that to Thuggizzle, a combination of “thug,” a word he had been called as a young person, and “izzle,” meaning “is him.” Hodge ultimately aged out of the system without finding a forever family. Aging out was at least partly because of his own resistance to adoption, he said, feeling it would amount to turning his back on his siblings. “I didn't want to be adopted because I felt that would split us up,” he said of his sisters, two older and one younger. “If I had known we could have stayed together and been adopted, I would have loved it. I always wanted a family.” Hodge, who entered Job Corps after aging out and became a nursing assistant, finds he has been reaching into his memories more often while rapping. Lately his style has incorporated story-telling elements. “I'm getting older, and a lot of that pain is behind me now,” he said. “I've been able to open those doors and help others through that.” As far as Hodge's musical technique goes, he is a freestyle purist. He doesn't write his lyrics down on paper, and invents them as he goes along. “I am able to run my mouth,” he said, noting that he doesn't practice in the conventional sense. “It is a feeling. I feel what I say. More than practice, it is something I live.” The first album he ever owned was Dr. Dre's “The Chronic,” which heavily featured the then up-and-coming rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg. Little did Hodge know that he would one day perform with Snoop Dogg. “It was kind of shocking,” he said of his first reaction to sharing a bill with the rap legend. “But then you realize they are just like you.” Giving Back to Those In Need In addition to his music, Hodge devotes time to Thuggizzle Cares a non profit organization that was started after watching an aunt fight breast cancer. Thuggizzle Cares represents over 20 causes. “This is coming from the heart,” he said. “I let God decide who we go out there to help. At the end of the day, I'm no different than the next man, except I have God in my life.” |

The Thru Project
Oct 04, 2022 12:00 PM
Speaker bio: Courtney brings over twenty years of nonprofit experience to the THRU Project team. She has worked for national organizations such as the United Way and CASA as well as grassroots organizations specializing in teen counseling, shelter for foster youth and mentoring. She graduated from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and went on to earn a Master in Public Administration (MPA) from Northern Illinois University. Courtney’s commitment to the fundraising profession led her to become a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) in 2020. Courtney grew up near Chicago and discovered the joy of giving back at an early age. Her desire to help others reach their full potential has been a guiding force throughout her career. She and her husband moved to San Antonio with their three children in 2015. Courtney serves on the boards of Impact San Antonio and the San Antonio chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
The program will be about how to help less fortunate "aging out" foster students wanting to go to college. The Thru Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization supporting San Antonio & surrounding area foster youth as they age out of the foster care system. These youth are often alone with no adult to guide them through this critical time of transition. Aging out of the foster care system puts youth at an incredible disadvantage with huge obstacles to their success. THRU Project works side by side with foster youth to remove those obstacles which allow foster youth to be independent and realize their true potential. Our mission is:
We recruit and train adult volunteers to serve as Mentors and then match adults with youth for one-on-one mentorship. We offer the life skills training that many have never received; we help them get a job, apply for college, set up their first apartment and navigate their finances. |

His broad range of inspirational historical programs, all presented in historical attire & usually with Power Point, have been presented to audiences ranging from public and private schools to Fortune 500 companies.
