Dr. Ted Evans believes that for too long the human rights of people with disabilities have not been upheld.
"As a parent carer, I have advocated for my children all their lives," says Ted.
With a research, policy and academic background, combined with experience as the parent of two adult children with disabilities, Ted offers a wealth of knowledge about human rights.
He knows the importance of involving everyone in the community in activities, and hopes to see more people with disabilities get involved in voting and elections.
The importance of providing timely rehabilitation services is vital to the long-term outcomes for people with acquired brain injury.
The active involvement of people with disabilities and families in the planning of post-school opportunities including employment, further education and community based arts, leisure and recreation are also important to Ted.

Q: Use SQL Server Management Studio to connect remotely to an SQL Server Express instance hosted on an Azure Virtual Machine Initial Attempt
I have an Azure VM with Windows Server 2012, on which I just installed SQL Server 2012 Express Database Engine component. Then, I followed the instructions here to connect remotely with SQL Server Management Studio.

*

*Create a TCP endpoint for the virtual machine

*Open TCP ports in the Windows firewall

*Configure SQL Server to listen on the TCP protocol

*Configure SQL Server for mixed mode authentication

*Create SQL Server authentication logins

*Determine the DNS name of the virtual machine

*Connect to the Database Engine from another computer

After step seven I received the following error:

A network related or instance-specific error occurred while
  establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
  was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
  SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named
  Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
  (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

What else do I need to configure before connecting remotely?
Troubleshooting
I have been following the troubleshooting instructions here. Each blockquote below is a step described that that link.

Confirm the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine is installed
  and running.

Done. We installed SQL Server Express, and it is running as a named instance called SQLEXPRESS.

If you are attempting to connect to a named instance, make sure the
  SQL Server Browser service is running.

Done. We followed the steps here to turn on the SQL Server Browser service.

Get the IP Address of the computer.

Done. We will use these later for testing connectivity and maybe for setting up a static port for SQLEXPRESS.
10.241.62.155
fe80::45c:8c29:e19f:f78b%15

Get the TCP port number used by SQL Server.

Done. The SQL Server Management Studio server logs showed that the server was listening on port 49169.

Enable Protocols

Done. We had already enabled TCP/IP in the configuration manager, but we restarted the SQL Server Service just in case.

Testing TCP/IP Connectivity

Done. We used tcping.exe to test connectivity (cmd ping doesn't work quickly with Azure.) We were able to connect to port 80.

*

*tcping.exe buddha.cloudapp.net > successful

*tcping.exe buddha.cloudapp.net 80 > successful

Testing a Local Connection

Done. We used sqlcmd.exe from the command prompt and were able to connect locally via TCP with a username and password.

*

*sqlcmd -S Buddha\SQLEXPRESS (success via shared memory protocol)

*sqlcmd -S tcp:Buddha\SQLEXPRESS (success via TCP)

*sqlcmd -S tcp:Buddha\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P  (success via TCP with username)

*sqlcmd -S tcp:10.241.62.155\SQLEXPRESS -U sa -P  (success with internal IP)

Opening a Port in the Firewall

We opened the port on which we SQLEXPRESS listens. The server logs (above) showed that SQLEXPRESS was listening on port 49169, but this is just one of many dynamic ports, and we wanted to set up the static port 1435.

*

*Use WF.msc to create an inbound TCP rule for port 1435.

*Use Azure Management Portal to create a TCP endpoint for port 1435.

The troubleshooting instructions also say:

If you are connecting to a named instance or a port other than TCP
  port 1433, you must also open the UDP port 1434 for the SQL Server
  Browser service.

Since we are connecting SQLEXPRESS (a named instance), we needed to open port 1434 for UDP.

*

*Use WF.msc to create an inbound UCP rule for port 1434.

*Use Azure Management Portal to create a UDP endpoint for port 1434

Further research about connecting to named instances revealed dynamic port issues. The reason why we are using port 1435 (static) instead of port 49169 (one of many effective options.)

Instances of SQL Server Express, SQL Server Compact, and named
  instances of the Database Engine use dynamic ports. To configure these
  instances to use a specific port, see Configure a Server to Listen on
  a Specific TCP Port (SQL Server Configuration Manager). and
  here.

Done. We went to SQL Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS > TCP/IP, we did the following.
Protocol Tab > Listen All > NO.
IP Addresses Tab > for each listed address

*

*Enabled > Yes

*TCP Dynamic Ports > Blank (delete the zero)

*TCP Port > 1435 (or your choice)

After restarting the SQLEXPRESS service, we again looked in the SQL Server Management Studio logs, and found that the Server is Listening on port 1435!!! Hooray!

Testing the Connection

Done. We opened SQL Server Management Studio on our local (non-Azure) computer and connected.

*

*buddha.cloudapp.net,1435 OR buddha.cloudapp.net\SQLEXPRESS

*sa

*password

Success.

A: I too struggled with something similar. My guess is your actual problem is connecting to a SQL Express instance running on a different machine. The steps to do this can be summarized as follows:

*

*Ensure SQL Express is configured for SQL Authentication as well as Windows Authentication (the default). You do this via SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) Server Properties/Security

*In SSMS create a new login called "sqlUser", say, with a suitable password, "sql", say. Ensure this new login is set for SQL Authentication, not Windows Authentication. SSMS Server Security/Logins/Properties/General. Also ensure "Enforce password policy" is unchecked

*Under Properties/Server Roles ensure this new user has the "sysadmin" role

*In SQL Server Configuration Manager SSCM (search for SQLServerManagerxx.msc file in Windows\SysWOW64 if you can't find SSCM) under SQL Server Network Configuration/Protocols for SQLExpress make sure TCP/IP is enabled. You can disable Named Pipes if you want

*Right-click protocol TCP/IP and on the IPAddresses tab, ensure every one of the IP addresses is set to Enabled Yes, and TCP Port 1433 (this is the default port for SQL Server)

*In Windows Firewall (WF.msc) create two new Inbound Rules - one for SQL Server and another for SQL Browser Service. For SQL Server you need to open TCP Port 1433 (if you are using the default port for SQL Server) and very importantly for the SQL Browser Service you need to open UDP Port 1434. Name these two rules suitably in your firewall

*Stop and restart the SQL Server Service using either SSCM or the Services.msc snap-in

*In the Services.msc snap-in make sure SQL Browser Service Startup Type is Automatic and then start this service

At this point you should be able to connect remotely, using SQL Authentication, user "sqlUser" password "sql" to the SQL Express instance configured as above. A final tip and easy way to check this out is to create an empty text file with the .UDL extension, say "Test.UDL" on your desktop. Double-clicking to edit this file invokes the Microsoft Data Link Properties dialog with which you can quickly test your remote SQL connection

A: Here are the three web pages on which we found the answer. The most difficult part was setting up static ports for SQLEXPRESS.
Provisioning a SQL Server Virtual Machine on Windows Azure. These initial instructions provided 25% of the answer.
How to Troubleshoot Connecting to the SQL Server Database Engine. Reading this carefully provided another 50% of the answer.
How to configure SQL server to listen on different ports on different IP addresses?. This enabled setting up static ports for named instances (eg SQLEXPRESS.) It took us the final 25% of the way to the answer.

A: The fact that you're getting an error from the Names Pipes Provider tells us that you're not using the TCP/IP protocol when you're trying to establish the connection. Try adding the "tcp" prefix and specifying the port number:
tcp:name.cloudapp.net,1433

I rarely take extended "vacation" because of the disciplined balance I maintain in my daily work. So, in 2016, after a heartbreak and moment of existential questioning (one of the several times I've "questioned" my purpose), I decided to coach in the quiet spots along my spiritual walk across the Camino de Santiago.
That moment was life-changing: for me AND my client. It forever changed the "rules" of the coaching game, and gave me permission (more like an assignment) to continue being fully ME. And I've been astounded to watch how it gives my clients permission to drop their fears and do the same.
This Coaching Practicum is designed to help YOU lead with your lifestyle first.
Many coaches make the career transition, only to replicate (or extend!) the intolerable sedentary hours behind a desk. This program will push you to prioritize a nature walk as much as a client session. To continually simplifying your life even as your bank account grows. To coach with no make-up in your sweatpants with equal confidence as in your beautiful power-suit.
We will spend the next year together rooting your coaching practice in the most natural version of yourself.
80% of coaching with confidence is reinforcing your inner belief that you offer something important.
The cold, hard truth is that your clients NEED coaching. Now, more than ever.
They needs your empathy, your listening skills, and your unique ability to see the whole picture.
They needs you to fully see them, remind them of their brilliance, and help them bring world-saving ideas to life.
So, stop wasting time questioning your worth.
Starting making time to share your much needed talent.
This Coaching Practicum Program is where service meets discipline.
Confront the fear: Coaching changes lives. We will repeat this mantra until you no longer question the value of and need for your service.
Define your message: Articulate what you stand for. Polish what you're already teaching. Identify the insights the world MUST hear in your voice: the evergreen content for your first book, flagship workshop, or signature program.
Over the next 12 months, we will apply deep-coaching and self-coaching to challenge you to "back into your niche" of clients, practice fearless coaching, and refine your leadership message.
Unlock creative energy and confidence. Clean up your negative self-talk. Remove the roadblocks hindering you to coach fearlessly: from your morning routine, to your lifestyle decisions and core personal relationships.
Coaching is like surfing. You only improve by doing it.
Master the "art" of Client-Creation. Invent coaching distinctions, tools and frameworks. Track the people you meet, the hours you coach, the amount of money you make in proposals.
Experiment. Fail. Reflect. Write. Put attention on your "thought leadership". Craft your big picture experiences and philosophies into a key writing piece, video, keynote speech, and/or workshop that defines your coaching practice.
If you haven't read it yet, commit to studying it immediately. Every strategy in this book works. When it is applied.
Sell the experience, not the concept.
Know the half-life of enthusiasm.
Share stories and case histories.
Find the goal behind the client's "goal".
Maintain innocence in getting your yes/no.
Leave the conversation in the context of possibility.
Be constantly aware of role reversal.
Be GREAT at what you do.. not just good.
12 months of weekly deep coaching conversations.
We will choose a consistent standing time as the first pillar of your consistent business structure. Consider this your weekly CEO (you) meeting with your board of directors (me).
Additional coaching conversations between weekly sessions as needed, on urgent personal and professional situations— including coaching you step-by-step to take a potential client from initial connection to final commitment.
Deeper self-coaching reflection questions and exercises, created organically as they apply to your challenges in the art of client creation and fearless coaching.
Self coaching report is due to me every Sunday evening. I will send you written feedback by Tuesday each week.
Access to my business systems and templates to model and make your own: program structures, real coaching proposals, examples of client creation e-mails, and original coaching exercises.
On-demand coaching via WhatsApp voice notes. While the speed of communication is intentionally not always immediate, my support to you is unlimited.
Written creative feedback on your client proposals, e-mails and coaching programs.
CEOs have personal coaches by their side for a reason. The caliber of your ideal clients demands nothing less for you.
In this Coaching Practicum, we will meet 2-4 times in locations across the world, strategically chosen to increase your visibility as a coach in your industry. These intensive may push you to experiment with a workshop, a dinner series, give a keynote speech at an industry conference, and/or any other related "thought-leadership" opportunity you choose to create.
Our first intensive may include attending your first Rich Litvin event, which will be an accelerator to your understanding of "fearless coaching". My private support there will include evening debriefs to help you avoid the "comparison" trap, and keep you centered in your power and in client-creation mindset (it is as much of a learning opportunity as it is a service opportunity). We will reserve one full-day to integrate your insights and filter what you've learned into an authentic version you can apply in your own client creation.
The cost of investing in this Coaching Practicum Program to become a full-time "Pro-coach" is $18,000 USD.
Propose transformational programs, even when they scare you.
Your success relies on your personal responsibility to do the work. Prosperous coaching practices are create by coaching one client at a time. Your hell yes to this Program requires you to coach daily. Period.
This is A LOT of work. There is no silver-bullet answer to creating a sustainable and authentic coaching practice. The ONLY way to get there is to do the work: one conversation, one client at a time.
We will work towards your annual income goal of $100,00+. However, we will focus on what you propose rather than what you earn. We cannot control the yes/no. What we can control is the amount of powerful programs you create and propose.
Thus, to make this a worthwhile investment based on your financial goal, you must be prepared to do the work it takes to propose $20-35,000 of coaching per month.
Visualize the type of coach you would BE if you consistently proposed this amount of life-changing coaching.
What type of influence would you have in your industry?
What results would the clients you coach-- paid and unpaid-- be seeing if you lead them with that level of confidence?
Now, imagine your private life.
What would your relationships looks like if your #1 professional priority was serving others through daily coaching conversations?
How would the quality of time with your partner, family and friends transform if you showed up as a Prosperous "Pro-coach" in your work life?
Take your decision to hire a coach out of your head and into practice. Rather than tell you about me and my coaching methods, I invite you to experience the impact of a deep coaching conversation first-hand.
2 uninterrupted hours committed to being fully present— and fully vulnerable— in a powerful coaching conversation. This session is designed to test the alignment of your core values with what you say you want to create in your life.
1-2 hours to complete a post-session reflection, and APPLY the key insights through 3 bold action steps.
If you feel ready to explore this level of personal growth and professional commitment to mastering the art of coaching, e-mail me at cmc@christineconforti.com to schedule a time to connect.

IBF announces the winner of the 'My Beautiful Intranet (Goes Social)' competition
By DWG Leave a comment
Collaboration & socialExpert blogMy Beautiful IntranetNews releasesRebrandingUsability & design
Thanks for visiting the Digital Workplace Group (DWG) website. You'll see this post may refer to the "Intranet Benchmarking Forum (IBF)," the "Digital Workplace Forum (DWF)" or "IBF Live." But that doesn't match our website name!
In a nutshell, we merged IBF and DWF into one service and changed our name to "Digital Workplace Group." The new name represents the broader set of services we've grown to offer, beyond an original focus on just intranets. We also changed the name of our monthly webinar from "IBF Live" to "Digital Workplace Live."
Although we've relabelled things, we're proud of our decade+ history and have left this page intact. Enjoy your time on our site and please contact us with any questions or comments.
8 January 2013, London & New York.
The Digital Workplace Group (DWG) is delighted to announce the winner of its My Beautiful Intranet (Goes Social) competition. The aim of the contest is to find outstanding intranets which combine well-integrated and highly usable social features with visual flair and great design.
The overall winner is International Enterprise Singapore, an agency that spearheads the overseas growth of Singapore-based companies and promotes international trade. Its intranet, IEX, is used to share knowledge between employees based all over the world.
In close second place was GfK, a global research company based in Germany. Its new intranet, gNet, is invaluable in supporting global communities of experts.
The result was revealed in the January edition of IBF Live, an innovative online broadcast aimed at intranet managers. A live tour of the intranet will also take place on Digital Workplace 24, taking place in May 2013.
Initially entries were voted on by the public, with the highest-scoring intranets then being considered by an expert panel of judges. Competition judges included Louise Kennedy, DWG's benchmark programme manager and leading usability expert, as well as the Intranetizen team, a group of four influential UK-based intranet managers who write prolifically about intranet matters.
Above: The homepage of IEX, Singapore International Enterprise's intranet.
Louise Kennedy said: "Combining social intranets with aesthetics is not straight-forward. The challenge is not just to make social features more prominent and seamlessly integrated but also to demonstrate the business value at a glance, encouraging later adopters and sceptics to join the conversation."
She continued: "It was a very close contest, but in the end International Enterprise Singapore's intranet won us over because it displayed the most social interaction. The judges decided that 'beauty' is not just about what it looks like, but in how it works, allowing employees to share knowledge directly from the homepage.
"International Enterprise Singapore's intranet is optimized for high adoption. The microblogging feature is displayed prominently on the homepage, encouraging employee interaction from the outset, with comments charted on a world map and employee photos. GfK's intranet is also very attractive, with a highly appealing visual design that also combines social features."
Angela Pohl, Managing Director of DWG, said: "We're delighted that this year's My Beautiful Intranet contest has been so successful. It's both inspiring and informative to see such great examples of intranets which are so engaging for employees."
Below: The runner up, GfK's intranet homepage.

The zoo opened in 1900, and was accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in 1987.HistoryIn 1892, the City of Norfolk purchased the that was currently occupied by Lafayette Park. In 1900, the park began acquiring animals to exhibit, and by 1901 its collection exceeded 200 animals, including mammals, birds and reptiles.In 1974, the facility was fenced off from the city park, and renamed Lafayette Zoological Park. Though fenced off, residents of the nearby LaValette Avenue could see the zoo's elephant exhibit from their homes. Newcomers, unfamiliar with the fact that a zoo was in the location, sometimes called the police at the sight of the elephants. Between 1974 and 1980, most of the zoo's old exhibits were renovated.Also in 1974, the Friends of the Zoo was established to act as a support organization for the development of the zoo. In 1989 it was renamed as the Virginia Zoological Society and established as a non-profit organization.In 1985, Lafayette Zoological Park was renamed the Virginia Zoological Park at Norfolk (commonly known as the Virginia Zoo). In 1987, the zoo gained accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).In 1992, a Master Plan was adopted by City of Norfolk and Virginia Zoological Society. Plans included a new Education Complex and Visitor Center, as well as African, North American, Australian, South American and Asian-themed exhibits. In 1999, Part I of Phase I opened, including Gelada baboon habitat and Xaxaba African village and 100th Anniversary of Virginia Zoo and Lafayette ParkIn 2001, design for Master Plan Phase II: North America exhibit beganIn 2002, Part II of Phase I opened: African Okavango Delta exhibit, thus completing Phase I of the Master PlanIn 2004, Part I of Phase II opened: prairie dog habitat.In 2005, the zoo got its third elephant named Cita.In 2011, Part I of Phase IV opens: "Trail of the Tiger" exhibit opens with various fauna of India and Southeast Asia.

Also, store manager can teach you the definition of organic. What is Definition of Organic Certification? All these standards must be met for certification: A public or private certifying organization conducts annual inspections of farms and food handlers and periodic testing of soil and water to verify that a farm meets or exceeds defined standards. Organic farmers are required to keep detailed records of purchases and practices, which inspection agencies examine systematically. All farmers and handlers are also required to maintain written organic management plans.
Most farms are required to farm organically for at least three years before the food they produce can be labeled certified organic. An exception to this rule: All farms, however, must have been under the supervision of a certification agency for the past 12 months before producing food that can be labeled certified organic.
No prohibited substances may be applied to the land during that period. Once you know the Definition of Organic, this will help you go Shopping. This search is with A Partner of Organic Organization. Losing weight is first and foremost an issue of eating the right amount of calories energy. This is why before starting a weight loss program, doctors and dietitians will always calculate your metabolic rate--the energy you expend throughout the day. Without knowing the number of calories your body burns, there is no way you can know how much food you are allowed to eat each day in order to reach your weight loss goal.
Based on this data, they craft a weight loss plan specifically for you. This plan has the right range of calories each day allowing you to lose pounds a week. Therefore, with Nutrisystem you are not on a "hit or miss" endeavor. Weight loss is inevitable if you stick to the program. Consuming the right amount of calories is one part of a successful weight loss regime. Making sure you give your body the right nutrients is the other part.
Certainly, you will lose weight if you reduce the calories you eat. But will you be healthier, will you be stronger, vibrant, and full of energy?

The best the industry can hope for is a modest recovery, researchers estimated.
The report, called "Can Coal Make a Comeback?", was released late last month by the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs.
The nation's coal industry lost jobs through the 1980s and 1990s, leveling off at total employment of just under 100,000 in 2000. An upswing began after that, driven by increased domestic electricity demand and a seemingly insatiable appetite for coal in China to fuel its rapid economic growth.
Demand in China boosted global coal prices, which made coal exports from Appalachia competitive, where mining costs are higher than in other coal basins.
By 2011, U.S. coal exports topped 100 million tons — up from 40 million in 2002 — and employment had climbed back to 133,000, the report said.
Then the bottom dropped out with stunning speed.
Between 2011 and 2016, domestic demand and exports slumped and employment plunged to 70,000, the report said.
The slide hit Kentucky hard, especially in the eastern coalfield where there were not a lot of other high-paying jobs.
The state's coal production dropped from 109 million tons in 2011 to 42.9 million in 2016. In Eastern Kentucky, production went from 68 million tons in 2011 to 16.7 million in 2016, according to the Energy and Environment Cabinet.
Jobs plummeted from an annual average of 18,069 statewide in 2011 — 13,679 of those in Eastern Kentucky — to 6,587 statewide in 2016 and 3,844 in the state's eastern coalfield.
The job loss in Kentucky from late 2011 to late 2016 was the worst in the nation, the Columbia report said.
The decline has forced many families to move away for work and hurt businesses and tax revenue for local government services and schools.
The researchers said there is no single thing to blame for the coal-company bankruptcies and layoffs of the last few years, but rather a mix of factors.
One is electricity demand, which fell off during the recession and hasn't recovered, the report said.
The country consumed less electricity in 2016 than in 2007, even though the economy, adjusted for inflation, was 12 percent larger, according to the report.
Increased efficiency in buildings and appliances also has held down power consumption.
Another factor was a surge in natural gas production driven by hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, which unlocked access to vast new reserves.
Production went up 37 percent between 2007 and 2016, causing a big drop in price and making gas a strong competitor to coal for power-plant customers.
The report also looked at the impact of renewable energy, calling it the third blow to U.S. coal.
The cost of wind generation, which benefits from tax credits, went down 36 percent between 2008 and 2016, while the cost of solar generation went down 85 percent in that time, the report said.
As a result, there was a three-fold increase in wind generation and a 40-fold increase in solar.
The Columbia researchers said it is difficult to parse out how much each of those factors hurt coal.
However, the report said they came up with a "rough estimate" by analyzing the difference in the electricity generation and consumption rates for 2016 and the rates that federal analysts had projected for 2016 before the recession and the rise of natural gas and renewables.
The estimate was that decreased electricity demand accounted for 25 percent of the lower-than-expected coal-fired electricity production.
Researchers estimated natural gas was responsible for 48.9 percent of the decline in coal production; renewable energy for 17.8 percent; and nuclear power for 7.7 percent.
Federal environmental rules contributed to the decline of coal production because they sped up decisions by utilities to retire old plants — and helped drive the switch to gas or renewables — but the rules were a less significant factor than others, the report said.
The Obama Administration put forth 10 rules that related directly to mining or coal-fired electricity generation, but only four took effect before 2016, the report said.
The government generally estimated the rules would have a relatively small impact on coal production. The coal industry estimated higher costs, but evidence suggested the federal estimates were more likely to be correct, the study said.
The study said utilities retired 238 coal boiler units at U.S. power plants between 2012 and 2015. Using information on how much coal they had burned, the researchers estimated those closures were responsible for a 3.9 percent reduction in 2016 coal production relative to 2011 levels.
The report said the effect of those retirements was modest compared to an overall production drop of 33 percent in that time.
"Much more important was the reduction in overall electricity demand and the reduction in generating hours by operating coal plants because of increasingly competitive natural gas and renewable options," the report said.
The report said changes in the global coal market – especially a downturn in demand in China -- played a bigger role in the hurting the U.S. coal industry than many people understand.
China's total primary energy demand fell from average annual growth of 9 percent from 2002 through 2012 to less than 3 percent in 2013 and 2014 and 1 percent in 2015, the report said.
The report said if Trump succeeds in his aggressive effort to roll back the coal-related environmental regulations from the Obama Administration, it could help turn around the decline in domestic coal consumption. But that would rely on an increase in natural gas prices, and coal still wouldn't fully recover, the report estimated.
"In the best-case scenario for U.S. coal consumption under President Trump, in which natural gas prices more than double from current levels, demand would plateau at 19 percent below 2007 levels," the report said.
If gas prices stay steady at current levels, the report projected coal consumption in the U.S. will continue down, especially if the cost of renewable energy falls faster than expected.
The report estimated the best-case scenario for the coal industry would be a recovery to 2013 production levels, with employment nationally between 70,000 and 90,000 in 2020 and 64,000 and 94,000 in 2025 and 2030.
That would be well below the number of jobs the country had earlier and "a far cry from what's needed to provide America's coal communities the future they have earned and deserve," the report said.
The report said there are many measures the federal government could take to help hard-hit coal communities, such as providing tax credits for businesses, grants to development efforts and money to expand high-speed internet service.
"But this all requires a clear-eyed assessment of the outlook for the coal industry and a commitment to put sustainable solutions ahead of politically expedient talking points," the report said.

Hurricane Florence claims 3.4 million US poultry
Record breaking rainfall and severe flooding linked to Hurricane Florence has claimed up to 3.4 million birds in North Carolina.
The State's Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said the figure, which includes broilers, layers and turkeys, could change based on further recovery efforts.
Sanderson Farms: One of worst affected
One of the worst affected companies has been Sanderson Farms, one of the State's largest poultry firms, who reported that 60 of 880 broiler houses and 4 out of 92 breeder houses had been flooded.
The company said this week that approximately 1.7m broilers had been lost, ranging from 6 to 62 days. In addition, it said 30 farms, housing approximately 210,000 chickens per farm, were isolated by flood waters with the company unable to provide feed for the units.
In addition to the loss of live birds, Sanderson said it would be unable to hatch and place live broilers in the field at its normal rate during the coming week. The reduced egg sets and chick placements will affect the company's weekly processing volumes from October until December.

Sanderson Farms' responding to needs of communities
Joe Sanderson Jnr, Sanderson Farms' chairman and CEO, said the company "will provide ice, water, food and other necessities to those affected by this catastrophic storm. While we will work hard over the next week to get our operations back on line, our primary focus will be to respond to the needs of our local communities."
Tyson deploys disaster relief team
High winds and flooding also damaged 2 Tyson Foods Inc poultry farms but operations were minimally affected and the company was looking to relocate birds that survived to others farms. Tyson has deployed a disaster relief operations team to North Carolina to prepare meals for those affected by the disaster.
Impact on Butterball Thanksgiving stock
The leading US turkey brand Butterball, which is based at Garner, North Carolina, said in a statement that "many of our North Carolina-based processing plants, hatcheries and feed mills have been impacted by the storm, and we continue to see flooding and power outages throughout the region.
However, the company said Hurricane Florence would not lead to any pre-Thanksgiving turkey shortage, as those birds come from the mid-west. Ground turkey, turkey bacon and turkey breasts are processed in North Carolina.
North Carolina is one of the largest poultry producers in the country with 819 million chickens and 33.5m turkeys housed on farms.
The poultry deaths already exceed the 1.8m birds lost in Hurricane Matthew in the State in 2016 and Hurricane Floyd in 1999 when one million birds died.

The terror these birds experienced as the water rose cannot even be comprehended. Yet all these companies only talk about financial losses and shortages. Absolutely barbaric and disgusting.

Those of us who exist in a state of shuddering trepidation at the advances of technology will be grateful to Drs Gaverluk and Fisher for making available their analysis of the perils facing mankind. This is a useful addition to the literature which will stand alongside Between Fire and Ice: Is your Central Heating Thermostat Possessed by Satan? and The Abomination of Anti-Lock Braking: The Minions of Beelzezeb Will Take Over Your Automobile and Drive You Straight to Hell!.
EMIL GAVERLUK: [...] eventually it will be possible for ordinary homes to have a small dish on the roof that could pick up the satellite from there.
PATRICK FISHER: We have these now. There are one meter dishes, costing approximately one hundred dollars, which are able to pick up the satellite signal and bring transmissions from anywhere on the entire globe to your home set right now.
EMIL GAVERLUK: The net effect then is that we already have a satellite system in existence that we can use to preach the Gospel, and reach "billions" of people.
PATRICK FISHER: I am convinced that we have to reach "billions". The number that I find acceptable in my own mind is a conversion rate of one million people per day, nothing less - maybe more, but no less.
Such optimism is inspiring. Fisher's contention is that all that is needed to convert the godless masses of the world is to broadcast the Bible at them. A million a day, easy.
PATRICK FISHER: This is actually a warning. Many people will be "brainwashed" into accepting one new card that is superior to all other cards. Look at your own wallet. Remember the early American Express and gasoline cards that you were once content with? When Master Charge became available, we were told that it was better than other credit cards because it gave us interbank privileges. They are now promoting Visa as being superior to Master Charge for those who travel and would like to combine their hotel costs with their traveling expenses. Basically, we are being "brainwashed" into the acceptance of "one number", since the quantity of our credit cards is slowly being narrowed to one. That number will give access to information concerning every detail of your life from the time you were born to the time you die. Computer programming has become so efficient that a single telephone call from anywhere in Europe, the Middle East countries, or North America, to a bank can now clear your credit rating instantly. I don't know the name of the card we have been discussing, but you will recognize it because it will be advertised extensively. It may even be sent to you free of charge, and you'll be told how convenient it's going to be. I feel that this card is the final step preceding the numbering of people on their foreheads or hands.

PATRICK FISHER: I have some magazines giving information on "fiber optics" which are being used to connect the television set in your home to cable TV. This is a much more efficient way to transmit by cable. The advantages of this are that you will get a much clearer picture, and it may even offer you a larger range of programs. The fiber optics cable is in fact a two-way light pipe; at the TV end, it will not only bring, the signal into your home, but there are little pinhead-sized fish eye lenses in the cable which can watch you.
EMIL GAVERLUK: The signal reverses and goes right back through the same pipe, to the source, so that they can monitor what you are doing in your own home.
PATRICK FISHER: They are visiting you in your living-room without your knowledge. The first ten thousand units were built and installed without anyone knowing it, because the lenses are built into the cable. These cables were installed under the false premise that this little lens would allow the set to adjust for differ light levels in your room.
EMIL GAVERLUK: We now have the communications capability to actually watch you in your home with your television set off! I have a sample of that fiber optic that I use in my lectures. I put it into my laser beam and it comes out the other end absolutely pure. I have some impure fiber optics and they light up on the end, and a lot of material is lost in that. The telephone system in Chicago is already using it in lieu of copper wire because copper is getting scarce and expensive. They can transmit 100 television programs or 100,000 radio programs all at the same time. It not only transmits one way to give you a tremendous variety of entertainment, but it can photograph you in your own home. In other words, people can sit in a transmitting station somewhere and watch you on a monitor. They can flash across and pick out any home they want.
PATRICK FISHER: There is a test installation in a small city just outside Winnipeg in Manitoba. It has a population of about 10,000 people and their domestic cable TVs use a bundle of fiber optics. On one a little fish~eye lens picks up everybody who is in the room where the television set is, and the speaker is already two way. This is a gross invasion of privacy. A person may be 10 miles away in a television transmitting studio, but he can see and hear everything that happens in your room while you sit and watch the TV set.
EMIL GAVERLUK: In other words, one man can monitor a whole city of television sets.
PATRICK FISHER: In this case, 10,000 homes.
Brrr, chilling. I don't know what you do while you watch TV, but since reading this I've abandoned a number of despicable practices. Those TV eyes won't see anything untoward in my house, oh no.
Emil Gaverluk also predicted that The Rapture would occur in 1981. It didn't. He was still at it in 1988, with his Rapture Before the Russian Invasion of Israel which presumably assigns a later date to this event. As far as I can tell, he is no longer alive so unable to update us with a more accurate timeline. Patrick Fisher did not establish the worldwide Biblical satellite network he was striving for, but hey, we've got Youtube.
Post-Snowden, how can you make such light of this?

More individuals wanted? Make it even more individual.
When Deloitte Belfast expanded their operations in Northern Ireland last year, we produced a hugely successful recruitment campaign for them. So much so that one or two competitors produced campaigns that looked somehow familiar….
So this time we had to ramp things up a gear or two. Our message this time was that Deloitte recruit individuals with talent, drive and ambition and retain, respond to and reward that same individuality with opportunity, job satisfaction and a real team spirit.
Our journey took us further into the personalities that make up the workforce from a variety specialisms and age ranges. We brought them together, found out what made them tick, probed, pushed and prodded until they began to let their personalities shine and their enthusiasm for Deloitte bubble over. We filmed them talking, laughing, working and problem solving.
Then we threw paint at them and photographed it in beautiful detail. The message? When you come to work for Deloitte not only do you get something completely different but your own individuality is a seen as valued asset.
The films hit the social channels, the paint throwing hit the outdoor formats and Deloitte's competitors hit their heads in frustration.


Truck driving is hard. There's no doubt about that. People who work in this industry have to be incredibly focused and dedicated. They need to be familiar with all relevant safety regulations. Truck drivers work incredibly long hours. Every one of those hours is going to require a high degree of concentration, and truck drivers need to be up to the task in a landscape that varies all the time.
They have to be prepared for long stretches on the road where nothing is happening in addition to hectic periods of time where they're competing with aggressive drivers. Not all truck drivers are able to meet these standards. Ultimately, the best way to prevent a truck accident involves making sure that truck drivers were trained effectively in the first place.
Professional truck drivers absolutely need to drive safely. Certain companies emphasize safety more than others. Since some drivers get annual official assessments, they have every incentive to make sure that they're still meeting the organization's high standards for safety.
The best companies are also sure to hire truck drivers who are enthusiastic. Truck driving is a difficult profession, but it is also a hugely rewarding and important job. There are plenty of people who do this for a living and who love every minute of it. They love the freedom of the road and they enjoy having such an action-packed job. Being sure to hire only these people will make it easier to prevent every single future truck accident.
Contact us for any additional information about truck accidents.

Q: Adding an object to a list Python OOP I'm new to python OOP. I'm trying to create a method that gets user's input (book name, author and genre), creates a book Object and adds it to a list only if such a book doesn't exist. Initially, I wanted to use __eq__ but couldn't find a way to make it work...
Here my code:
class Book:
def __init__(self, book_name, author_name, genre):
    self.book_name = book_name
    self.author_name = author_name
    self.genre = genre
    self.booksList=[]

def __eq__(self, other):
    if (self.book_name == other.book_name):
        return True
    else:
        return False

def __str__(self):
    return f"The book {self.book_name} written by {self.author_name} is {self.genre}"

def addBook(self, book_name, author_name, genre):
    if book_name not in self.booksList:
      self.booksList.append(book_name)
      print("success")

Q: Film or TV show with spooky dead trees and singing There was a TV show or film available in the early- to mid-nineties when I was growing up that featured a forest of pale, spooky dead trees. They were not animated. I think they were either costumes or props, and were less than 12 feet tall. They also didn't have long branches, just short stubs; they were mostly trunk.
I vaguely remember music or singing while the trees were on screen, and the trees may have been moving, singing, or dancing with the music—but I'm not confident on that.
Can you help me identify this TV show or film? It's been nagging at me for years now.
This was in English in the United States.

A: Could it be The Wizard of Oz?
There is a scene where Dorothy goes through a forest that attacks her and her companions. The trees are actors inside elaborate costumes.

The final movie doesn't have this scene where they have a lot of singing and dancing involved (apparently the costumes didn't fare well with all the moving). The trees themselves still remained in the movie.

A: Could it be Nightmare Before Christmas? The movie was released 1993. The film was made with puppets in stop-motion. There where dead trees each with a special holiday door. The main character - a skeleton - sings, though as far as I remember not while the trees are seen.

A: Could it perhaps be the Disney Sing-Along Songs adaptation of Grim Grinning Ghosts?
It was the last song on one of the VHS tapes of the series.
It has been uploaded to YouTube here:

A: Could it be the 1961 version of Babes in Toyland?

One of the children who live with Mary informs her of some sheep tracks leading into the Forest of No Return. The children sneak away into the forest to search for the missing sheep. The trees of the forest awaken and capture them. Tom and Mary follow and find the children in the forest, where they tell stories about the live trees. The trees seem just like ordinary trees to Tom and Mary. Tom, Mary, and the children camp for the night. In the morning, the trees once again come to life and explain that they are now in custody of the Toymaker in Toyland (who is also the Mayor and Chief of Police). Tom, Mary, and the children happily continue on, escorted part of the way by the trees.

The Muridiyya on the Move: Islam, Migration, and Place Making (New African Histories) (Paperback)
By Cheikh Anta Babou
Highlights the role of transnational space making in the construction of diasporic Muridiyya identity.
The construction of collective identity among the Muridiyya abroad is a communal but contested endeavor. Differing conceptions of what should be the mission of Muridiyya institutions in the diaspora reveal disciples' conflicting politics and challenge the notion of the order's homogeneity. While some insist on the universal dimension of Ahmadu Bamba Mbakke's calling and emphasize dawa (proselytizing), others prioritize preserving Muridiyya identity abroad by consolidating the linkages with the leadership in Senegal. Diasporic reimaginings of the Muridiyya abroad, in turn, inspire cultural reconfigurations at home.
Drawing from a wide array of oral and archival sources in multiple languages collected in five countries, The Muridiyya on the Move reconstructs over half a century of the order's history, focusing on mobility and cultural transformations in urban settings. In this groundbreaking work, Babou highlights the importance of the dahira (urban prayer circle) as he charts the continuities and ruptures between Muridiyya migrations. Throughout, he delineates the economic, socio-political, and other forces that powered these population movements, including colonial rule, the economic crises of the postcolonial era, and natural disasters.
Cheikh Anta Babou is an associate professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, where he has taught African history and the history of Islam in Africa since 2002. He is the foremost historian of the Muridiyya of Senegal and has published extensively on the genesis of the Murid order, the expansion of the Senegalese and Murid diaspora, and the politics of Sufi Islam in Senegal.

"Babou shows a true cultural and social anthropological intuition in describing the present making of the Muridiyya brotherhood throughout parts of Black Africa and of the Western world."—Jean Copans, emeritus professor of sociology and anthropology, Université Paris Descartes
"Based on years of intense ethnographic and historiographic research on three continents, Cheikh Anta Babou chronicles the ways in which individual migrants built local communities closely tied to transnational networks radiating from the holy city of Tuuba. The Muridiyya on the Move explores the relationships between religious associations known as dahiras, entrepreneurial migrant disciples, and key personalities from the order in inscribing physical and social Murid spaces in each setting. Recounted in rich detail and often through the voices of the actors themselves, this fascinating work will be of great interest both to those familiar with the Muridiyya, and to those who are just discovering this dynamic Sufi community."—Leonardo A. Villalón, author of Islamic Society and State Power in Senegal: Disciples and Citizens in Fatick
"Combining several historical, ethnographic, sociological, and theoretical perspectives, this book offers an exemplary social, economic, cultural, and intellectual history of a community that has been creatively adjusting to a constantly changing world. Babou engages with the question of how the Murid became subjects of globalization in their own terms and languages. Bold and innovative in his conception and execution of this book, Babou persuasively argues for the crucial role played by migration in reshaping the identity and global performance of the Murid community, culturally, politically, and religiously, at home and abroad. Diligent in uncovering sources and scrupulous in the use of primary materials, interlacing historical detail, personal interviews, and observations, Cheikh Babou brings together (un)familiar elements to account for the creative and vernacular-inspired self-inclusion to the temps du monde."—Mamadou Diouf, editor of Tolerance, Democracy, and Sufis in Senegal
"Cheikh Babou combines scholarly rigor with an insider's knowledge to produce a compelling account of the remarkable diaspora of Mourides from Senegal that combined individual initiative with collective solidarity to forge networks and communities in several African countries, France, Italy, and the United States. Attentive to religious and socioeconomic dimensions of migration, Babou brings out both the tensions and the creative adaptations as migrants became citizens in their new homes, worked out their relations with Muslim and non-Muslim fellow citizens, and brought up a new generation of Murids."—Frederick Cooper, author of Africa since 1940: The Past of the Present
"This is a meticulously researched and well written history of the migrations that made the Muridiyya, the Sufi order created by the Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba, travel from Tuubaa, its holy center in Senegal, and spread throughout the world, becoming the global reality it is today. The book illuminates the crucial point that the nascent diaspora of the Muridiyya has meant the continuous reinvention, in new spaces, of the life and creative force of the order. Its migrant followers did not just turn their new location and experience into a shadow of the "real thing" back home: they made the diaspora another home where the Murid experience and the message of the founder produced renewed meanings, which then traveled back to the center. The Muridiyya on the Move is thus an eloquent and powerful demonstration that, yes, indeed, Islam is at home in the modern and the 'Western' world."—Souleymane Bachir Diagne, coauthor of In Search of Africa(s): Universalism and Decolonial Thought
