The society approved an Ozone-Depleting Substances Position Statement and Paper at its 2001 winter meeting held in Atlanta, Jan. 27-31.
The document commits ASHRAE to taking a leading role in addressing ozone depleting substance use of refrigeration and air conditioning, continuing to conduct research on alternative refrigerants and technologies and assisting in the timely transition to new alternatives. The document also describes governmental actions in the United States.
"Counties around the world look to the United States in setting policy regarding global warming and climate change," ASHRAE president James Wolf said. "As an international organization, ASHRAE provides this information and commits to providing technical information to developing countries related to the phase-out of ozone-depleting substances."
ASHRAE support overall environmentally balanced solutions to atmospheric concerns. Actions taken at the expense of energy efficiency would not represent a balanced approach, according to the society.
"Energy efficiency is a key issue because the burning of fossil fuels to generate electric power is considered a major greenhouse gas emitter," Wolf said.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 901-1999, "Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings," is helping to reduce energy use in new and existing buildings. The paper notes that the standard provided an overall building efficiency increase over the 1989 standard.
The ASHRAE Ozone-Depleting Substances Position Statement and Paper commit the society to several initiatives:
- ASHRAE will continue to conduct research on the development and application of HFCs.
- ASHRAE urges the implementation of worldwide conservation measures to minimize emissions of all refrigerants employing the latest technology, guidance documents, and standards.
- ASHRAE urges worldwide compliance with the provisions of the Montreal Protocol including its amendments and adjustments.
- ASHRAE recommends that in order not to discourage the use of viable alternatives to CFCs, the current phase-out schedules of the Montreal Protocol should not be accelerated.
- To assist in the timely transition away from ozone depleting substances to new alternatives, ASHRAE has place two key industry on continuous maintenance – permitting incorporation of new technical developments on an accelerated basis.
- ASHRAE urges code-developing organizations and local code implementing authorities to adopt promptly provision permitting new improved technologies and products.
Several ASHRAE standards and guidelines address ozone depleting substance concerns. Standard 34, "Designation and Safety Classification of Refrigerants," and Standard 15, "Safety Code for Mechanical Refrigeration," provide designers and code officials with procedures on the safe use and handling of refrigerants in buildings.
To help ensure the "proper application" of Standard 15, ASHRAE will publish a user's manual to assist in the proper installation, use and case or refrigeration systems.
ASHRAE Guideline 3, "Guideline for Reducing Emission of Fully Halogenated Chlorofluorocarbon Refrigerants," addresses refrigerant emission reduction practices in manufacturing, design, installation, and servicing of equipment.
Copies of the ASHRAE Ozone-Depleting Substances Position Statement and Paper may be downloaded for free at www.ashrae.org beginning March 2001.

Ondonsterpoort Animal Research Center Externship
The staff of Ondonsterpoort Veterinary Institute were wonderful hosts and provided us with a diverse and comprehensive view of diagnosis and management of disease. They also provided us housing on the beautiful campus!
We spent the first week with in the Tuberculosis Lab. The lab functions mainly as a diagnostic laboratory for South Africa as well as many other neighboring African countries; they preform post mortem tests as well as screening tests for movement of animals especially Cape Buffalo. In addition to standard culture with microscopic identification, they preform PCR in order to identify the species of TB isolated (M. bovis, M. tuberculosis, M. bovis BCG, M. microti, M. canettii, M. pinnipedi, M. africum, M. caprae, M. mungi, and M. sucricattae). They start with a screening PCR for the most common isolate M. bovis and then have three other PCR tests to differentiate the others.
The research component of the laboratory focuses on the epidemiology of TB on the African continent. They will take each sample and identify the strain of TB within the species in order to better understand the transmission of TB between the different species of wildlife and domestic livestock.
On our free weekend, we went to Dinokeng Game Reserve on the suggestion of our hosts. There we were able to see some of the wildlife species whose samples we were processing at the laboratory such as impala, nyala, Cape buffalo, warthog, and white rhino. We were also able to speak to locals who deal with the implications of the livestock/wildlife interface every day. Johan, who is a microlight pilot on the reserve, struggles with abortions in his goat herd likely due to their contact with wild game on the reserve who harbor diseases such as Q Fever and Brucellosis.
The second week, we spent in the Transboundary Disease Laboratories. This facility houses mainly the African Swine Fever (ASF) and Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) diagnostic and research laboratories. We participated in the diagnostic component which consists of mainly serology, PCR, and virus isolation. There was an ASF outbreak currently going on in the Free State of South Africa during our stay and as the OIE reference laboratory for ASF, the lab was currently receiving all samples for confirmation.
This is a BSL 3 laboratory with a shower out policy so we gained experience with measures used to maintain biosecurity when working with these highly virulent pathogens. During our stay, there was also a Rift Valley Fever vaccine challenge going on. Sadly, because we are not previously exposed or vaccinated, we were unable to participate in any of the handson animal work.

Iran complain to Fifa over flag change post by US
|Host nation: Qatar Dates: 20 November-18 December Coverage: Live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. Day-by-day TV listings – Full coverage details
Iran's football federation has complained to Fifa after the Islamic Republic emblem was removed from its flag in social media posts by the United States team.
Before their World Cup meeting on Tuesday, the US removed the Allah symbol in graphics posted on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The US said they decided not to use Iran's official flag to show "support for the women in Iran fighting for basic human rights", amid mass anti-government protests in the country.
The protests in Iran, met with a fierce crackdown, have been sparked by the death in custody in September of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was detained by morality police for allegedly breaking the strict rules around head coverings.
"In an unprofessional act, the Instagram page of the US football federation removed the Allah symbol from the Iranian flag," said Iran state news agency IRNA.
"The Iran Football Federation sent an email to Fifa [football's world governing body] to demand it issue a serious warning to the US federation."
A US Soccer spokesman later said the posts had been removed and replaced with ones using the correct Iran flag, but added: "We still support the women of Iran."
Iran has accused the US and other foreign adversaries of instigating the protests, with the US government imposing sanctions on Iranian officials over the crackdown.
The US and Iran cut diplomatic relations in 1980.

Much has been made of the impressive alignment of metal bands from Denver, and Colorado more generally, in recent years, including Khemmis, Spectral Voice and Blood Incantation, among myriad others. But Dreadnought have always stood apart from other bands not just within that scene but within metal overall given their singular blend of diverse influences, creating something vaguely resembling doom metal but which has always had wide eyes for detail and grandiosity. Their new record, Emergence, represents my third interaction with their material, having loved 2015's Bridging Realms and respected 2017's A Wake in Sacred Waves (Wake). Love and respect are strong markers of my feelings; will another such marker be placed by Emergence?
Emergence continues on the note left by Wake, utilizing a similar, dense blend of sounds and influences. The fluctuating, dynamic music conjures the same topographical image as The Ocean, although Dreadnought uses a more diverse array of tools in their image. Among these is the pairing of soft, clean singing with blackened howls, the integration of unorthodox instrumentation such as a flute, cello and saxophone, and song-writing which wanders with gusto into post, doom, and black metal. Although clearly a metal record, it isn't guitar-oriented; the lead riffs rarely take center-stage alone as each instrument is afforded breathing room in the mix. You'll hear just as much of Jordan Clancy's intricate drumming and Lauren Viera's somber piano track as you will the guitars when all is arranged together. It's clear that Dreadnought are about a 'total' sound, one which eschews the dominance of individual instruments in favor of dense, detailed soundscapes.
Post-metal often attempts to conjure a consuming effect, where the moment-to-moment enjoyableness is cast aside in favor of a wider vision which may only make sense in the context of the entire record. Individual tracks are simply a part of something bigger. That is certainly the case with Emergence but the particular result here is that I'm left pondering which tracks are truly enjoyable individually. I don't think I can say that I love any of them taken in isolation and this makes the record as a whole equally difficult to love. That's not to say it's worthless though. There's plenty of merit to be found in unpacking the dense compositions, whether disaggregating the clashing guitar lines, picking out the somber piano track, or appreciating the contrasting the shrieked and clean vocals. It's most certainly an interesting record. But I don't want to be just interested by the music I'm hearing; I want to be engaged and I want it to be compelling. Emergence simply lacks the dominant riffs, the delightful floating passages from Bridging Realms and, in short, the hooks required of records I love.
It makes for challenging music and this quality is not assuaged by the length of the tracks, 3 of which exceed 10 minutes. "Pestilent" concludes on an appropriately heavy note but is not very satisfying in total; it trundles along but there's no real 'pay-off' and the fade to black ending is impotent. Counter-intuitively, it's the longest track called "The Waking Realm" which I enjoy most as it defies this trend to meander. A serene opening featuring gentle guitar chords and soft vocals gradually crescendos over the course of 6-plus minutes; the oh-so-subtle layering is gripping and such an extended period of serenity ensures that the ensuing heaviness is all the more striking. Similarly, the apocalyptic, blackened finale makes for a strong climax and, alongside the quieter parts which swell into heavier environs, ensures that the track feels like it's truly progressed across its duration.
There's a lot to appreciate about Emergence and it's an engrossing record on close listening given the myriad instruments, moods and textures. But the further Dreadnought drifts from the effervescent, bright qualities of Bridging Realms, and the more they draw from darker influences, the less I enjoy their records. It's very well producing something which I find interesting but if I lack emotional attachment then a release will not ultimately stay with me. I'll always take note when a Dreadnought record is announced but am concerned that the band's best days are not ahead.

Spreading excellence and disseminating the cutting edge results of our research and development efforts is crucial to our institute. Check for our educational offers for Bachelor, Master and PhD studies at the University of Innsbruck!
The aim of this thesis is the development of a unit testing environment for the rule based WSML languages. The thesis covers unit testing in general and why unit testing for ontologies is a helpful process for an ontological engineer in order to verify an ontology. In the course of that we clarify what an ontology is and present common approaches to ontological engineering.
Moreover we define exactly in which state of the engeneering process unit testing can be helpful. We develop some sample scenarios and show how unit testing can be applied. Since the testing will depend on the underlying logical language and the available reasoners, we do a brief survey and show how the unit testing principle can be applied to a rule based language.
The theoretical results of this thesis are used to implement a unit testingprototype for WSML ontologies ont top of the eclipse platform. Furthermore we introduce Eclipse and give an insight into the architecture of the prototype.

Local Climate Initiatives
Tuesday October 23, 2018
Presenters: Dr. Brad Dibble, Al Gore Climate Reality Leader; Ms Margaret Prophet, Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition; Dave Collacutt, Drawdown Facilitator; Deb Woods, Moderator
Dr. Brad Dibble: As a Climate Reality leader trained by Al Gore who has subsequently served as a mentor for his training session in Toronto, I will draw from Mr. Gore's bank of slides and review the basic science behind global warming and climate change, providing examples of what is happening around the world to demonstrate how it is affecting our planet. I will put on my physician's hat and focus on the health impacts resulting from climate change, and what we can do both as a society and as individuals to mitigate the negative impacts.
Margaret Prophet: Sometimes when people are confronted with a changing climate and the problems it creates, they feel overwhelmed about what significant contributions they could make to mitigate it. Margaret will outline that one particular act that we can take is grow smarter and better protect our natural resources that help mitigate climate change. She will outline one such initiative that is shared by over 30 groups from across Simcoe County – expand the Greenbelt to Simcoe County. Think globally, act locally!
Dave Collacutt: When I hear people talk about climate chaos and excessive carbon pollution in the atmosphere, I hear "slow the increase", "mitigate", "adapt". What is really needed, is to reduce the carbon in the atmosphere to 1950 levels, or even to pre-industrial levels.
Finally a team of over two hundred scientists and researchers have assembled a list of one hundred creative solutions. They've done the research, modelled the solutions and done the math! These will work, are affordable and scalable. Many are things we would want to do on their own merit. The result is Drawdown, the Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming.

For anyone who cherishes his friends and values stability in life, saying goodbye has to be hard. The consciousness that goodbye doesn't necessarily mean farewell makes it easier, of course , as does the sense that we are all - and remain - connected as part of something so wonderful and so much bigger than ourselves - our life together as Christ's Body, the Church.
On the other hand, the practicalities of moving - packing, throwing things away, recording one's change of address, transferring files from one computer to another, etc. - all that stuff is stressful, to say the least. But that stuff is also, of course, temporary. The human relationships - personal and pastoral - are lasting, which is what makes the many rituals of saying goodbye so precious.
My final week in New York began with a Paulist in my honor in the 59th Street Paulist residence. At mid-week, I went to Peekskill in Westchester for a fun and nostalgic goodbye dinner with 5 of my cousins and their husbands. Then last night the parish pulled out all the stops at a fantastically festive celebration in the parish center. It was a great reflection and a true celebration of the wonderful community we have together created here over these years.
Tomorrow, it will be my turn to ritualize all that, celebrating Sunday Mass here for the last time as associate pastor and giving thanks for the privilege of serving here these past 10 years and for all the blessings I have received and for the blessing these 10 years have been for all of us who have called St. Paul the Apostle Parish our spiritual home.
For we do not preach ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for the sake of Jesus. For God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shown in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Colombo, March 26, (ECONOMYNEXT): Former Sri Lanka Army Staff Sergeant R M Sunil Rathnayake who was sentenced to death in 2015 was granted a presidential pardon today, the state-run Independent Television Network (ITN) reported.
Rathnayake, who was attached to the long range reconnaissance patrol of the army, was sentenced to death by the Colombo High Court in June 2015 for his alleged involvement in the Mirusuvil massacre in 2000. The former soldier, who was the firt accused in the case, was found guilty of the murder of eight civilians.
The Mirusuvil case dragged on for about 13 years, and 13 out of the 14 soldiers barring Rathnayake were acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
The alleged massacre occurred in December 2000 when eight internally displaced persons (IDPs) were arrested in Mirusuvil, Jaffna, and were allegedly tortured and murdered. The victims included three teenagers and a five-year-old child.
ITN news reported that Rathanayake, upon his release today, has returned home.

Hey Everyone
So I have been not so blessed with the most dry... flaky...chapped lips. It is SO hard to buy lipstick or lip stains because they just flake off or crease off or dry my lips out even more because of my lips.
I have tried so many lip butters, balms, and basically every type of moisturizer.....then I found:
the Lush Sweet Lips Lib Scrub!!!
I purchased this at Lush (can be found in some Macy's) for $7.00
Lush is all fresh handmade and all natural....which is amazing....especially when this product is going on my lips!!!
Basically this is a sugar scrub to exfoliate your lips. Ever since I have been doing this, my lips have been smoother....more hydrated....and so healthy looking!!!
What I DO:
I wet my lips with water....take a little bit and scrub scrub scrub....and then I rinse it off.....Lush did say you can lick it off your lips because I do have to say it DOES taste amazing....BUT I do not do that. After I use this, I always put moisturizer back on my lips which also helps. This process has been helping my super dry, flaky, chapped lips!!
This is just a sugar scrub and you could easily take sugar and create the same thing...but I do LOVE this product and I am not sure if I could ever live without it!
Thanks for visiting my blog!!!!!!

SAN ANTONIO – Editor's note: This story was published through a partnership between the San Antonio Business Journal and KSAT.
San Antonio-based barbecue chain Bill Miller Bar-B-Q plans to build a new headquarters on the West Side with an estimated cost of $60 million, state documents show.
The planned campus would house a two-story, 335,000-square-foot building at 5330 State Highway 151, according to architectural records filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. The construction start date is listed as Jan. 4, 2021, with completion set for June 1, 2022. RVK Architects Inc., of San Antonio, is listed as the design firm.
The 78227 ZIP code listed with the address places the facility near the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland Air Force Base, although it is unclear exactly where along Highway 151 the building would be constructed.
Bill Miller Bar-B-Q President and CEO Jim Guy Egbert declined to comment on the filing, telling the Business Journal in an email that the company is "not yet at a point to discuss."

Enjoy the beauty of city's 'water forest'
It's the best season to view dawn redwood, and Qingxi Countryside Park in suburban Qingpu District, which has the city's only "water forest," is perhaps one of the best destinations to appreciate the enchanting view.
Dawn redwood, or shuishan, is a fast-growing redwood conifer that is one of the world's oldest tree species and is native to China.
The trees at Qingxi have been cultivated in water, which distinguishes them from their forest counterparts. As a result, Qingxi Countryside Park presents a unique water forest view. Every December, the water mirrors the red trees, creating a wonderland seen only in fairy tales.
Picturesque winter view
In early winter, the trees turn red for just two weeks. Emerald green grass floats on the water, in sharp contrast to the red leaves, attracting lots of people to take photographs.
The winding wooden paths provide a way to go deep into the water forest and discover many creatures such as toads, spot-billed ducks, whiskered terns and white wagtails. They are found amid rice fields, and brooks take leisurely wetland strolls or flying. The most commonly seen are egrets, which make nests in the conifer forest and twitter joyfully.
The shuishan forest is at the northeast corner of the park, in the same water system as Dalian Lake.
Walking along the Dalian Lake, withered lotus leaves presents a winter view, like a picture in an ink-wash painting. In the center of the lake lies the big "Dream Lotus" artwork by artist Chen Yiming with its white petals looking like doves of peace ready to fly.
After 40 minutes' walk, when you reach the golden paddy fields, Lianhu Village is just in front of you. If you don't want to walk, there are shuttle buses inside the park at 20 yuan (US$3) for a round trip.
Lianhu Village, the unique watertown inside the park, is also worth a visit, allowing people to experience farming life and get close to nature.
The village got its name from Dalian (big lotus) Lake. It dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and flourished during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Houses in the village feature white walls and black tiles with an antique flavor.
The village still maintains the old Chinese customs. At Lianhu Yizhan, a public canteen of the village, there are traditional stoves which use firewood to cook in the kitchen. Villagers make traditional desserts in the afternoon to welcome their guests.
It's also the site of a rice cake workshop. Cooking classes are available to visitors, but reservation is required.
It's the season of the pumpkin harvest. Villagers cook pumpkins, and then put mashed pumpkins into traditional glutinous rice cakes. After frying, villagers boil them in brown sugar water. The pumpkin glutinous rice cake tastes like a soft chewy pancake, with a strong pumpkin flavor.
Visitors are also able to enjoy cuisine served in typical rural style at the village.
The region's traditional specialty products such as rice, jiaobai (wild rice shoots) and lotus roots are available to purchase at farmers' houses and the village market.
Liantang, a nearby Jiangnan-style watertown, is known for its jiaobai plants and has an annual yield of around 52,000 tons. Jiangnan refers to the region south of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Jiaobai is a Chinese plant with a long history, which was originally cultivated as a grain instead of a vegetable in ancient times. Known as gu before the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), jiaobai was once regarded as one of the six grains.
Benefitting from its neighbor's specialty product, Lianhu Village is famous for its unique jiaobai leaf weaving technique.
Handcrafts made of jiaobai leaves
The reed weaving technique has a history of hundreds of years in this rural area, and villagers use jiaobai leaves to create a new handcraft that has become an intangible cultural heritage of Qingpu District.
Zhang Xing has been dedicated to the protection and promotion of the traditional technique. She established a workshop and led nearly 40 villagers to improve their weaving technique through training.
"Twist the jiaobai leaves into a rope, then you can weave it into exquisite works like pendants, coasters, bags and various baskets. We hired the elderly at the village to help in twisting the jiaobai leaves, it's an easy job, but needs time to do," Zhang told iDEALShanghai.
Compared with reed rope, jiaobai rope is green with a grassy smell, flexible to weave. Even beginners like us can make a goldfish-shaped pendant in half an hour.
The products are both practical and artistic, such as exquisite handbags and coasters decorated with blue calico.The workshop also provides classes for tourists to learn to weave jiaobai leaves and turn them into handcrafts.

Address: 500 Zilian Rd, Qingpu District
Opening hours: 8:30am-4:30pm

Zambian Patient Activist Carol Nyirenda's Moving RESULTS International Conference Speech
Zambian activist and patient advocate Carol Nyirenda delivered the following speech at RESULTS 2011 International Conference donor luncheon:
"Thank you for having me.
"This is the second International Conference (IC) that I am attending and it is always great to be here among the RESULTS family, where I always feel at home.
In 2001, when I lost my husband, I too fell ill after his death and was bedridden for months. I had very little hope of getting well especially when I was told after a biopsy taken that I had a skin cancer called Karposis Sarcoma. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of many years of pain and helplessness. I later developed a dry cough which, after many X-ray tests and going back and forth to the health centre, was finally diagnosed as Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis. Because I was getting little response from the treatment, I was then tested for HIV and confirmed to be positive.
"During this period I was ill, I was unable to work which made it even more difficult to pay for hospital visits, let alone the treatments. Through support from my family members, I completed my TB treatment but could not afford to continue buying my antiretrovirals (ARVs) and had to stop the HIV treatment. As we are all aware, during those early years, I had been given a death sentence. Imagine, being co-infected, faced with the dual burden of being sick and still being expected to provide and care for my family. There was nothing that I or my family could do. With two young children to look after and retired parents, there was nothing left to do but to stay in bed until my time to die came.
"But guess where the help came from to give me a second chance to life? Not from those close to me in my country but from all of you around this room and others like you around the world – people who are dedicated to help and save lives of people like me from poor countries where, unfortunately, the burden of most communicable diseases is highest. Through the dedication and the kind of work that folks like you do, through support of the US government through PEPFAR and the Global Fund, life saving ARVs were introduced into my country just in time. I was one of the lucky people who got enrolled onto the free ART roll out in 2003. I had been bedridden for several months and written off for dead.
"Look at me now! My life has been saved; I now lead a full normal, positive, and productive life. I am now able to work, support myself and my family, and at the same time contribute to the economy of my country. At the same time, my children where saved from becoming orphans. I am now also able to help educate others on issues that concern affected communities.
Most of all, I am glad to be able to personally come to a country where people worked hard to save my life to talk to you to ask you to continue your good work in order to save and improve lives of more people who are back at a place where I was a few years ago.
"Before I go any further, I would like to say a big thank you for giving me a second chance to life, for giving me and many others a chance to plan long term, a chance to see our children grow and graduate and most of all a chance to lead a normal, healthy, productive life without the heavy weight of death over our shoulders.
"As far away as you are, you interceded where my family, friends, government could not and helped improve my life and that of millions around the world. I am still here today because of people like you. My children were able to complete their primary education again because of you. Why? Because during the time I was bedridden, my children could still go to school because you all made it free.
Really, thank you to you all.
"Other than saving and improving the quality of affected communities out there, organizations like RESULTS have come in to partner and build our capacity as former TB patients and activists to empower us to be able to advocate within our countries for equal access to treatment, care, support, and respect for our rights. For example, I received media training from RESULTS which now enables me to stand before you all and speak without shaking and sweating; they got rid of the stage fright and the butterflies in my stomach. Best of all they have great support systems after the trainings unlike other groups who will come in and train you and leave. They have a great mentorship program which carries on into other work and speaking engagements one may have which are not related to RESULTS work. This helped increase my advocacy skills and enables me lobby policymakers at both national and international levels with confidence.
"Back in Zambia, I work for a patient-led NGO set up by former TB patients and those living with HIV. We received our initial funding to set up from the Global Fund, a fund to which the U.S. citizens contribute in a big way. As affected communities, we have also been given a chance to take a leadership role in the running of these funds by being given a chance to have a seat at the policy-making table. We were given a board seat with full voting rights within the Global Fund. At the country level, we are also given a chance as CSO to receive GF money as Principal recipients and then identify grassroots organizations who then receive the funds as sub recipients and fully implements programs on the ground in their communities. That way, we as the recipients of care can ensure that, the money that you all work hard to ensure in put into the Global Fund is used as intended and make sure that it actually benefits the recipients of care, in the end improve and save lives of many – including mothers and children.
"RESULTS has been working with a lot of civil society organizations around the world, building capacity and giving a voice to the voiceless. There is now this reduced funding – we should avoid pitting one disease against another, because usually several diseases will attack one body and that one body needs to access attention from one health institution.
"So much has been done and covered over the years and reducing funding will only take away the good that has already been made. For example, lets look at the issue of TB/HIV co-infection – you cannot begin to imagine how painful it is to adhere religiously to your ART medication and have your life taken away within a short time of having TB. We are now struggling with emerging drug resistant strains of TB which are more expensive to treat. So it is important to continue carrying out programs that educate affected communities especially on issues of adherence.
"Please keep up the good work, the life of many of us though improve and saved still depends on your good work. As our countries struggle to improve our economies, we still need support for our health and education for our children. Also programs like the ones carried out by RESULTS help advocates like me in countries of the south to advocate to our government to encourage them to increase domestic funding towards health.
Again, I would like to thank you for giving me a second chance to life. I am now able to provide fully for my family. My son who was in primary school when I was bedridden is now working and my daughter is now in University. All the thanks go to you all."

David Buck
00:00 Welcome!
All right, hello to you coach David Buck here with you. This is the champion of dreams podcast, the podcast for coaches, powered by CoachVille.com, where we are the champion of your dreams to be a great coach. And together, we champion the dreams of amazing players, making the world a better place all over the world. team play for transformation.
00:30 Energize Your Dream
This is episode number three, for December 25 2020. In this episode, we will continue our exploration of ways that you can energize your dream for the year ahead. And in this episode, we are going to play with a really provocative question that my players have really loved engaging with for many years now. And that question is: what does playing at an elite level look like for you.
01:07 Imagine playing at an elite level
So remember, in the first two episodes, we played with this idea of using your imagination to play out the year ahead and hone in on the highlight experiences that you really want to have. And one really big idea is to focus on the experiences, rather than the accumulation of things that we learned in the industrial age. So this is big. But now going through this next step of playing at an elite level, this brings up several really important ideas that we need to explore, to really energize your dream.
01:49 Players always imagine playing better
So the first one is that when you're playing for a dream, you are a player and as a player, you want to have this attitude that you can always imagine yourself playing better, you can see it, you can envision yourself. And that's really the exercise we're going to play with today. And this is big, because in the industrial mindset, the basic idea was you learn how to do things the right way, and then you just keep doing them the right way forever and don't mess up. This is a really, really, really dreary way to live life. But this was the big idea of the industrial age, make habits don't make mistakes.
02:37 YOU make the difference
But in the connected age, its purpose and play. And so we're pursuing experiences that we can't control, we can't do the same way every time. But we can really focus on our abilities to play better, and create those highlight moments that we are dreaming of, and you play better through practice. But practice really begins in your imagination. And that's what we're going to play with in this exercise.
03:11 A Soccer Example
One thing I can share with you as a little example, for me, this is easier to envision. First off, when I think about myself as a soccer player. I've been playing soccer since I was 12 years old. I'm about to turn 59 I still play in the over 50 League. And I am always envisioning myself playing better than I play now. I keep looking for creative ways to use my 59 year old body out on a soccer field, I think of ways I can practice different skills and I imagined myself playing better than I did last season. This is sort of the nature of playing something. If you play something that you're really passionate about, then you you just naturally activate your imagination to envision playing better.
04:06 The Performance Possibility Gap
So I want to help you bring that kind of activation to your big dream for the year ahead. And this can be powerful, even if it's in business or leadership or career community activism, personal growth, whatever your dream is about. You can imagine yourself pursuing these highlight experiences by playing better than you do now. In coaching, we call this the performance possibility gap. When you play something, there's always a gap. There's always the next level, the next version of you. And that gap is the fun, it's the fun is to step into that gap. Okay, this is where I am. This is how I play, but I can play better. I can practice I can use strategies and all sorts of things to play better.
05:03 How to PLAY Life
Okay, but this brings up a really challenging and interesting question when it comes to these type of dreams we have in life coaching, like business and leadership and career and these type of things. How do you play them? You have to be able to play before you can imagine playing better.
05:22 Four Pivotal Moments of Social Play
So over the years, I've been creating this model. And it really took shape this past year, and I call it the four pivotal moments of social play. And this is going to really help us to imagine playing better playing at an elite level. So a pivotal moment is a moment where you make the difference in what happens with your energy, your creativity, your choices, your actions, it's you who make the difference in this pivotal moment. That's what makes it pivotal. And then social play is a very important idea. And that's what we're doing in our big dreams, we want to get out into the world of other people, this is where we play, playing for your dream is social play. And that means co creating with and for other people.
So I created this little model, just a way to understand how to play for these types of dreams in life. There are four items: relate, create, explore, and experiment. These are the essential activities of social play. you relate for influence, you create for expression, and sharing, you explore for visibility, and you experiment for change. And if you think about your big dream, and these highlight moments, you're being a positive influence, you're becoming an influencer, you're expressing yourself, you're creating visibility for you and your dream and what you're doing. And you're creating change. This is what it's all about.
07:13 The Exercise
So when you want to imagine yourself playing better, the exercise is to look at these four areas. And think, okay, relating for influence. Yeah, I can imagine myself talking with a potential player, really being in a groove with them, really hearing them connecting with them sharing just the right story at just the right time. These are all ways that you can play better: you talk to potential players, you just meet people, you can become better at relating for influence. And you can imagine yourself being this really high level elite player, you can imagine yourself creating for expression: whether it's writing, just writing really awesome things, inspiring things, recording videos, audios, creating experiences you want to share with people, you can imagine yourself in that creative zone, really creating things and being illuminated. So this is the idea.
So what I want you to do is to get in your comfy chair, your comfy place, this is the exercise and just take 15 minutes and look at these four areas, sort of map them toward your highlight experiences. And just go through each one. This is the way I did it the other day, I think of myself relating for influence. Where can I do that? How can I do that at a higher level? And I imagine that. For me, a big one is the exploring for visibility, really getting out there being more visible, talking with influencers, making great connections with people, you can kind of imagine yourself in this flow of playing in this way. And that's what you want to do in this exercise.
09:11 Go beyond Industrial Thinking
And it's important to remember, again, this goes beyond industrial thinking, which is where you just learn how to do it the right way and then you just keep doing it. In this connected age of purpose and play. There's always a next level you can always get better you can always become an even better version of you out there in pursuit of your dream.
09:37 Please Share This
All right. Please feel free to share this with your players or anyone you know who would love to play big and especially anyone who would love to learn more about coaching. This was really fun sharing this with you have an awesome day. I will be back with you tomorrow. You can find the transcript of this episode as well as lots of other awesome things for coaches and players on our website. CoachVille.com. And until the next time remember, everyone needs a champion for their dreams. That's why there's coaches.

The Company was struggling with its outsourced IT support vendor. The vendor's response times were lagging which resulted in the loss of productivity. Further, the vendor lacked professional documentation of their network effectively preventing the client from calling other vendors in a pinch, they also lacked transparency and tracking of ticket and project progress and escalation, they didn't level proactive maintenance and monitoring, and they did not provide any trusted level of support to help guide long-term technology decisions. In a nutshell, although the company had proactively kept its technology infrastructure current, they were stuck in a reactive spiral, largely due to the inefficiencies of their current vendor.
Framework IT leveled our Managed IT Services, which includes 4 key service delivery areas which addressed this client's support challenges.

Billing for your NoFraud usage will occur directly through the Shopify app. NoFraud charges will appear as an "App Charge" line item on your monthly Shopify statement.
Pre-Billing & Refill Amount
To avoid charging your Shopify account for each order as it is screened, our Shopify app operates on a pre-billing basis. By default, your account is configured with a standard refill amount and refill threshold (these can be modified in the NoFraud portal, as detailed later in this article).
When your NoFraud account goes live, your Shopify account will initially be charged for your refill amount. This will give you a current balance, and NoFraud's fees will be deducted from your balance on a daily basis as we screen your orders. Once your refill threshold is met we will charge your Shopify account again for the refill amount replenishing your current balance.
Enabling Shopify Billing
In order to enable billing via Shopify, you will need to provide NoFraud with the authorization to charge you via Shopify. At the completion of your free trial, your NoFraud account executive will send you a link to complete the Shopify billing authorization.
Manage Billing in the NoFraud Portal
Once you've completed the process of enabling billing via Shopify, you can manage your preferences in the Billing section of the NoFraud portal. Within this section, you'll be able to view your billing summary & statements, request a payout, and manage your payment methods & your billing preferences.
Requesting a Payout
At any time, you can request a full or partial payout of your NoFraud current balance. Thus, if you decide to discontinue your NoFraud usage or simply wish to withdraw some funds from NoFraud, you can do so by selecting Request Payout in the Preferences section of the Billing page. In the popup, enter the amount you'd like to withdraw from your current balance and hit 'Submit'.
Billing Summary & Viewing Your NoFraud Statements
Within the Billing page, you will have insight into your billing and NoFraud usage history. By default, the information displayed will include a date range of one month. You can adjust the date range in the Billing Summary section by clicking on the hyperlinked date and adjusting the date to match your preference. You can also view your Current Balance & View Statements (for the selected date range) within this section, as well.
Towards the bottom of the Billing page, you will also find the Usage, Payment, and Other History sections:
- Usage History: Within this section, you can see daily entries for NoFraud fees deducted from your current balance for each day during the selected date range. By clicking on the Description hyperlink you can see additional daily usage information.
- Payment History: The Payment History field includes itemized entries for each time your Shopify account is charged to replenish your current balance.
- Other History: This section includes credits and adjustments (e.g. chargeback reimbursements) made to your NoFraud current balance.
Managing Payment Methods
If you have multiple payment methods on file (for example, if you have multiple Shopify storefronts associated with a single NoFraud account), you can set a default payment method, remove a payment method etc. in this section.
Managing Pre-Billing Preferences
In the Preferences section, you can adjust your refill amount and refill threshold:
- Refill amount: In this field enter the dollar amount you would like your Shopify account to be charged in order to replenish your current balance. You will be charged once the refill threshold is met.
- Refill threshold: In this field, select a refill threshold from the dropdown menu. The refill threshold represents the point at which you will be charged and your current balance will be replenished. For example, if your refill amount is 20%, then your Shopify account will be charged once your current balance falls to 20% of your refill amount. Thus, if your refill amount is $100 and your refill threshold is 20%, your payment method will be charged $100 once your current balance falls to $20.

Love Shack is the home of one of my favorite burgers – the Dirty Love Burger.
I often feel pretty lucky to have landed in Fort Worth. It's a great city with great people. The grilling culture here is exceptionally strong, and a lot of the local fare focuses on it. There is great food here. There are great restaurants. Love Shack is one of those.
Two Love Shacks, one Fort Worth
Recently, a second Love Shack opened up the city. Now, I have the convenience of one by my office and one by my home. Tim Love: I appreciate how thoughtful you've been here. You have my continued support.
Love Shack Stockyards is the original. It fits its surroundings. If you haven't been to the Stockyards in Fort Worth, it's a tourist's view into the west. They run longhorn cattle down the street twice a day. There is a native american that stands on the size of the street with a painted horse. He says things like "feel free to take a picture, we just work for tips." Love Shack Stockyards is not out of place here. It's awesome, and it's all patio so you get to take in your environment completely.
Love Shack So7 is in an opposite location. It's just outside downtown in an area of Fort Worth that is being redeveloped in a luxury-living sort of way. The So7 location is ritzier, it has a different crowd, but it's not a completely different feel. More, it's a shifted feel.
I'm going somewhere here. These two locations are Tim Love. It's clever but not overly contrived. Chef Love is western, but urban. The Shack locations are western and urban. Burger and a beer or burger and a cocktail. Regardless of location, it's a hell of a burger.
Dirty Love Burger
This burger is magnificent. It's a mix of cuts, always cooked medium on a flat-top or griddle. The combination of brisket and tenderloin results in a tender, juicy burger that I can only best describe as burgery in the best of ways. It works. It's complimented with American cheese, which just fits the end compilation as rustic and honest. Bacon adds to the heartiness, and a quail egg creates delicate sophistication. The bun gets a bit of Love Sauce, a mystery recipe that I'd imagine has a base of ketchup, a little mustard and mayo, and some Worcestershire to start. It is complex and light. It works well on the burger.
Alternate Attractions
I've eaten at the Stockyards Love Shack at least 20 times. The burger is always the same. Always great. I know what I'm getting into. I'd give the same to the Crazy Good Onion Rings. The fries and fresh chile parmesan chips seem like a 50/50 to me; they'll either be passable or great. The chips seem to suffer from the wildest inconsistencies, and they've been nearly soggy more than once. It's easy to forgive that though, based on my experience with the other menu items.
I've been to So7 a few times recently and something on the menu has been catching my eye. Last Saturday morning – after a particularly eventful Friday night – I decided to get adventurous and went for the deviled eggs. They were exactly what I wanted them to be – basic deviled eggs with a little smoke and bacon on top. Very nice.
If you have the chance, go to the Love Shack and get the Dirty Love Burger. Either Fort Worth location will do. You may see the man himself. Two days ago I walked by the Stockyards location and saw Chef Love outside. I was on my way to the Lonesome Dove for one of my favorite BLT's in the world, but I'll save that one for another day.

Makes about 2 quarts
3˝ cups 7-grain cereal
˝ cup each: sunflower seeds, wheat germ, cashews
1/3 cup each: coconut, sesame seeds, almond slices
1 cup dried apple pieces
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp vanilla extract
Ľ cup olive oil
˝ cup honey
1/8 cup maple syrup
Mix the dry ingredients together. Add vanilla extract.
Mix in the oil. Using the same measuring cup, add honey and maple syrup. (Keeps the sweeteners from sticking to the cup.)
Spread on cookie sheets.
Bake about 20 minutes in oven pre-heated to 275 degrees. Mix up the granola after 10 minutes to keep it from burning. Mix again in another 5 minutes.
When the granola is cooked, spread it out on something like a brown paper shopping bag. This absorbs excess oil and allows the granola to cool without congealing into a big lump. After a while, spoon the granola into a jar.
