Fall TV 2017: Tuesday night forecast for 'This Is Us,' 'The Mayor,' 'Lethal Weapon' and more
Rick Porter August 24, 2017 September 15, 2017
With the 2017-18 TV season fast approaching, TV by the Numbers is breaking down each night of the broadcast networks' schedule. We'll look for competitive time periods and new shows with a chance to break out — or fall on their faces.
Tuesday is one of the more stable nights of the week, with every network returning at least two shows that aired there last season. As such, it's likely that ratings will play out similar to how they did last year as well.
All times ET/PT. New shows in italics.
8 p.m. 8:30 p.m. 9 p.m. 9:30 p.m. 10 p.m. 10:30 p.m.
ABC The Middle Fresh Off the Boat (new time) Black-ish (new night) The Mayor Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
CBS NCIS Bull NCIS: New Orleans
The CW The Flash Legends of Tomorrow
FOX Lethal Weapon (new night) The Mick Brooklyn Nine-Nine
NBC The Voice This Is Us Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders
The heavyweights
"This Is Us" was the breakout star of last year's freshman class, ranking as the No. 2 drama on network TV in adults 18-49 in overnight ratings, and No. 1 when delayed viewing was factored in. It's unlikely to face much of a challenge as Tuesday's top show in the demographic.
CBS' "NCIS," "Bull" and "NCIS: New Orleans" weren't as big in the 18-49 demo, but all three shows finished in the top 15 in viewers last season.
ABC two of the three freshman shows: Comedy "The Mayor" follows a young rapper (Brandon Micheal Hall) who runs for office in his hometown — and, to his and everyone else's surprise, wins the election. "Kevin (Probably) Saves the World" is about a guy (Jason Ritter) who learns he's been chosen to help humanity survive, whether he likes it or not.
The other newcomer is "Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders" on NBC, a dramatization of the 1990s trials of Lyle and Erik Menendez that stars Edie Falco.
Two veteran shows, ABC's "Black-ish" and FOX's "Lethal Weapon," also move to Tuesday nights after airing on Wednesday last season.
There may be some minor skirmishes here and there — will "Lethal Weapon" eat into either "NCIS" or ABC's comedies at 8? How will ABC and FOX comedies do head-to-head at 9? — but last season showed there was room for multiple solidly rated shows in a time period.
The most interesting matchup is at 10, where "L&O True Crime" and "Kevin" join "NCIS: New Orleans." The latter did fine there last season and typically won the hour in viewers but finished second to "Chicago Fire" in adults 18-49. If "True Crime" can successfully draft off of "This Is Us," that scenario could repeat itself this season.
ABC is putting the quirky "Kevin (Probably) Saves the World" in what has been the network's worst timeslot for the past few seasons. If it shows any kind of pulse, ABC will probably be OK with that.
Peaceful co-existence is the most likely outcome here. ABC is betting "Black-ish" and "The Mayor" will help improve the second hour of its comedy block, which they has a decent chance of doing. "Lethal Weapon" should give FOX a bump at 8, and "The Mick" may benefit a little from that at 9. NBC and CBS need not fear for their leadership of the night, however. "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow" are likely to give The CW its best night of the week.

They are taking unconventional routes to bring about a healthier, cleaner, and more adaptable world.
`	Jagdish Chaturvedi, 32
InnAccel
This doctor can laugh about the complex path he took to becoming an innovator.
"I invented a low-cost ear, nose, and throat—ENT—imaging device. So I call myself the first ENTrepreneur! Sorry—cheesy joke; I'm also an amateur standup comedian. I love performing. It's how I de-stress. But I also find comedy helps sharpen my observational skills.
"Those skills helped me invent Entraview, which has helped 200,000 patients. As a trainee doctor I saw many farmers with advanced throat cancer. I discovered that expensive imaging systems were only available in major cities, so rural doctors relied on outdated mirrors and headlamps. I asked my boss why no one had tried attaching endoscopes to small off-the-shelf cameras. He said, 'Why don't you?'
"Entraview was a big learning curve for me. I worked with a design firm but got too involved trying to create a one-size-fits-all device. I'd nearly exhausted my funds when my boss said, 'Go learn the right way to do this.'
Chaturvedi advises a patient's relatives and uses an early version of the Entraview to examine a man's ear in Bangalore.
The prototype attached to an off-the-shelf camera.
"The Stanford-India Biodesign program teaches Indian doctors and engineers how to invent. Their process showed me where I'd gone wrong and gave me the connections to arrange a pitch with Medtronic. We simplified and focused on ears. Not the original goal, but the path of least resistance to market, and now the platform can evolve.
"I've since contributed to 18 medical-device inventions, and I'm now clinical lead at a med-tech incubator, InnAccel, where I help multiple startups while still practicing medicine, to keep me grounded with clinical needs.
"India imports 75 percent of its medical tech. We have great inventors, but most make the same mistakes because they don't get the innovation process. The first step is finding the right team."

Nice, I will be following this project closely.
Kageboy, by any chance have you read Black Cat's oneshot: Stray Cat???
If so, and from an online website, could you help me with sharing it? please! I would love to read how Train and Sven had their first job.
Though I decided to take a step forward, and just end it all together. The hardest part is for me that I have super strong feelings for him, but he never had those feelings towards me; and it has been only two weeks, this will be hard to move on for me.
Also, I did asked about him having feelings for me at one point, he said yes, but apparently he meant as friends. So, yeah, a bit complicated. Lastly this topic relates to posts I made in the Confessions thread, if you ever read those. Anyways, I hope this made sense, and if you have any questions, ask away.
So, how have things been with you?
Oh, it is okay. I have been getting better, and I am on meds. Though still in the process of trying to find the right one. But I am more stable currently.
What kind of degree did you get by the way?


Kubernetes provides multiple options for setting up a development environment. A very simple method is to use minikube. However it's only a single node solution. Hence for cases where you would like to simulate real deployments or understand multi-node networking or play with scheduler options minikube is not suitable. Starting Kubernetes version 1.4 a new tool called kubeadm is made available which makes multi-node kubernetes cluster setup for dev and test a breeze.
If you have used the latest docker engine swarm mode you will find the kubeadm setup instructions very similar.
Kubernetes master server runs 'kubeadm init [options]' to initialize the cluster. Kubernetes slaves runs 'kubeadm join [options]' to become part of the cluster. This is very similar to 'docker swarm init [options]' and 'docker swarm join [options]'.
Here is what swarm cluster setup instructions looks like.
Swarm initialized: current node (0gqevumsltdkz8bo8a4ybprii) is now a manager.
In this article we'll see how to modify a Kubernetes cluster configuration that has been setup using kubeadm.
Perform the following steps on both the Ubuntu VMs.
# # Install docker if you don't have it already.
After installing the required packages, setting up the cluster is simply about running the following commands on master and slaves.
Step-2: Setup networking for communication among pods.
Setting up a pod network is must before you can start any application deployment. Perform the following steps for setting up Calico.
The above two steps completes the process on the master host.
Execute the relevant command that was displayed in the output of the 'kubeadm init' when initialising the cluster. This will make the slave part of the cluster.
Once the cluster is up and running let's see how we can modify the cluster configuration.
The entire kubernetes control-plane is deployed as pods. The configuration templates are under /etc/kubernets/manifests directory. This directory is watched by the 'kubelet' daemon for changes.
In order to modify the api-server configuration, just edit the kube-apiserver.json file in the manifest directory with required changes and kubelet will restart the api-server with modified options. For example, if you want to experiment with PodSecurityPolicy, edit the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-apiserver.json to enable PodSecurityPolicy.
Let's verify if the changes have taken effect or not.
Create a policy to disable privilege containers and then deploy a pod explicitly as a privilege container.
As you can see how easy it is to experiment with various options. Hope this helps.


By extending payment times to small businesses in the supply chain, large Australian and multinational organisations are effectively using them as 'a cheap form of finance', according to a new report by the Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman (ASBFEO).
The report, which responds to the Ombudsman's inquiry into payment times and practices, highlighted the ramifications, for small business, arising from the practice of late and extended payment times, including restricted growth and solvency issues.
The Ombudsman said only legislation, not voluntary codes and 'other soft measures' will compel businesses to meet payment standards and address late and extended payment times.
adopting a 15 business day payment time by July 2018.
requiring its head contractors to adopt the payment times and practices of the procurement through its supply chain.
extending its payment policies to all its agencies and entities.
publishing its payment times and policies, and for all its agencies and entities, with performance against best practice benchmarks.
mandating the use of Project Bank Accounts in public works and construction projects.
Procuring from businesses which have supply chain payment times and practices equal to or better than its practices.
Introducing industry codes which regulate business to business transactions to include best payment practices including set payment times.
introducing legislation for larger businesses [i.e. top 100 listed on the ASX and multinationals] to publicly disclose all of their payment times and practices and performance against those terms.
introducing legislation which sets a maximum payment time for business to business transactions.
encouraging the adoption of technology solutions, such as e-invoicing, to assist business to streamline administrative tasks and facilitate payment practices.
The report also identified eight 'action items' for the Ombudsman including the development of a National Payment Transparency Register to publish businesses payment times and practices rated against a benchmark for good and bad performers.
Small Business Minister Michael McCormack said he would be 'taking some time' to review the Ombudsman's report and is very focused on making sure small businesses can negotiate fair payment terms and that these terms are met. He continued, ""60, 90 and 120 days are not good enough. Small business should not be used as big business' bank. My message to big business is clear – negotiate fair terms and stick to those terms.
Although Trent Inness, MD of Xero Australia welcomed the Ombudsman's recommendations, he said any solution adopted by legislators needs to be fair, reasonable and achievable.
"A one-size-fits-all approach to payment deadlines, whether it be 15 days or 30, could inadvertently hurt the very people we're trying to help," he said. "Layers of regulation and red tape add costs to small businesses, which can lack the time and money that compliance reporting requires.


Miller Homes sales adviser Brenda Frayne and site manager John Harrison.
A housebuilder is well on its way to a £100,000 charity fundraising target, thanks to staff in Northumberland.
Miller Homes has pledged to raise the cash this year for international development charity Habitat for Humanity.
And already, £73,000 has been collected.
A significant sum will come from Blyth's Portland Wynd development, where the cost of time in labour from building a 'Habitat charity house', overseen by site manager John Harrison, will be donated.
Miller Homes staff from the region have also taken part in a quiz night, golf day and barbecue, and a charity ball will be held at the Marriott Hotel in Gosforth on October 28.
Two workers are also taking part in a trip to Malawi to create homes for orphans and vulnerable children.

Hong Kong's Apple Daily has responded defiantly to the arrest of owner Jimmy Lai under a new national security law imposed by Beijing, promising to fight on in a front-page headline over an image of Lai in handcuffs Readers queued from the early hours to get copies of the pro-democracy tabloid a day after police raided its offices and took Lai into detention, the highest-profile arrest under the national law. "Apple Daily must fight on," the front-page read, amid fears the new law is eroding media freedoms guaranteed when the former British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997. "The prayers and encouragement of many readers and writers make us believe that as long as there are readers, there will be writers, and that Apple Daily shall certainly fight on." More than 500,000 copies were printed, compared with the usual 100,000, the paper said on its website. Mainland-born Lai, who was smuggled into Hong Kong on a fishing boat when a penniless 12-year-old, is one of the most prominent democracy activists in the city and an ardent critic of Communist Party rule in Beijing. His arrest comes amid a crackdown on the pro-democracy opposition in Hong Kong that has drawn international criticism and raised fears for freedoms under Beijing's "one country, two systems" formula. The sweeping security law imposed on June 30 punishes anything China considers secession, subversion, terrorism or collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison. The city's Beijing-backed government and Chinese authorities say the law is necessary to restore order after months of anti-government protests last year. Hong Kong has since become another source of contention between the United States and China, whose relations were already at their most strained in years over issues including trade, the coronavirus, China's treatment of its Uighur Muslim minority and its claims in the South China Sea. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday called Lai a "patriot", saying Beijing had "eviscerated" Hong Kong's freedoms. Britain said Lai's arrest was further evidence the security law was a "pretext to silence opposition", to which China's embassy replied by urging London to stop "using freedom of the press as an excuse to discredit". Police detained Lai for suspected collusion with foreign forces after about 200 officers searched the newspaper's offices, collecting 25 boxes of evidence. Handcuffed and apparently wearing the same clothes after spending the night in jail, he was driven by police on Tuesday to his yacht which police searched, according to media footage. Beijing has labelled Lai a "traitor" in the past and issued a statement supporting his arrest. The Beijing-backed China Daily newspaper said in an editorial Lai's arrest showed "the cost of dancing with the enemy". The paper added that "justice delayed didn't mean the absence of justice". Police arrested 10 people in all on Monday, including several other Apple Daily executives and 23-year-old activist leader Agnes Chow who was later released on bail. Australian Associated Press

Scott saved me a lot of sleepless nights witht his extension. After an initial problem I emailed Scott who got back to me in record time with the solution.
I have used this import program to insert 1000's of products into my numerous stores. Its fast, efficient, and extremely stable. its support of images and advanced products make it a snap for me to handle the massive amount of updates my stores require.
Scott's import/export modules have saved us countless hours during our Magento setup phase. We needed to make lots of changes to the attributes, categories, and products to test various setups. We literally could not have done it without his modules.
We did have some setup questions and he was always very quick to get back with me. I would highly recommend the export/import modules and I highly recommend his company.
This is the best extension you will buy that will save you precious time. I have 1200 products and have just finished importing simple and configurable products, all with base, small, thumb and gallery images. Not only has it saved me days of time, it is set and ready to go each time I receive new products.
I have been working with Scott for almost 6 months. He is really knowledgeable and helpful. I strongly recommend him for every development needs of yours.
I'm using like 10% of the total power of this plugin to manage product's custom options. I keep a list of organizations, and each product needs to have that whole list available for selection.
Old way, update each product by hand, cutting and pasting each name to maintain alphabetical order.
With this plugin, export the data as a .csv, edit just one list, and cut and paste it on the other products... upload .csv.

Bailey44 Opens First Flagship Store, Launches Handbags and Denim
In its 10th year, the contemporary brand aims to grow by opening its first store, at Lido Marina Village in Newport Beach, Calif., and launching handbags and denim.

Bailey44 is thinking locally before rolling out retail nationally.
In its 10th year of business, the women's contemporary brand is opening its first freestanding store today in Newport Beach, Calif., and stocking it with a new handbag and a denim collection. Measuring 1,700 square feet, the flagship for the Vernon, Calif.-based company is opening at Lido Marina Village six months after its anticipated unveiling due to delays with the new retail development, which is also counting Jenni Kayne, Planet Blue, Nobu and Clare V. among the fashion and food purveyors. To fit in with the affluent, coastal neighborhood, Bailey44 replaced the New York florist that it originally designated to set up shop inside the store with Studio La Fleur from neighboring Costa Mesa.
"We're not interested in building a retail template that we roll out across the country," said Bailey44 chief executive officer Chris Tate. "We're interested in building localized and customized stores."
Backed by Norwest Venture Partners, Bailey44 is also keen on growing its direct-to-consumer sales. The Newport Beach store is premiering a capsule collection of vintage-inspired denim feminized with laced ties on the side and back. The eight denim styles retail for between $128 and $228. It's also readying the fall release of a cinch-top bucket bag cut from eco-leather and accented with braided detailing. Retailing for under $100, the bag is a prelude to a small accessories collection that's in the works. Like its main line, the accessories and jeans are made domestically, but they're not earmarked for its wholesale business, which includes Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Revolve Clothing.
Bailey44, which generated less than $50 million in sales last year, needs more merchandise for the additional stores it plans to launch. A pop-up shop in Malibu will be open from July through late September. Tate said it's in the final stages of negotiating a lease for another location in the heart of Los Angeles, around Beverly Hills, Century City and West Hollywood.
"We're looking for other locations in Southern California and starting to turn our sights to New York," he said. "Miami is the next city."


I have read previous books by this author and have been looking forward to this book.
I am scheduled to post my review on March 12th. This was a "new to me" author" and I was very impressed with the writing.
I missed last week so today is 2 weeks worth. I tend to lose track of the days when there is a Monday holiday. Am I the only one that has this problem?
There has been so much hype about this book that I preordered it and will let you know what I think.
I was a bit disappointed with BAD LITTLE GIRL, you can see my review here.
And my review for THE FIX will be posted soon.
I am patiently waiting, or at least trying to, for this ARC.
There are so many books right now in my TBR pile, that it is still too early to decide which ones will be next!
I chose this book, which was a personal purchase and has been in my eReader for almost a year, to fulfill a few of my challenges, especially for The Monthly Keyword.
You may have seen quite a few books by this author posted lately. I am so addicted to this series.
Both of these books are touring with PICT. THE FIX will be the first book that I will read by this author. THE FOURTH GUNMAN is another series that I absolutely enjoy.

These fines do not include additional costs to pay, just show the basic sum from the tariff.
For example driving on the red light costs in Switzerland 250 CHF, but for instance in case on being caught by the camera taking photos on the intersection, there can be additional costs added (processing, judge, sending of the letter etc) raising the final bill to pay to over 500 CHF + suspension of the license.
Great map that shows where insane people live who have problems with speed…
I live in the Netherlands and though we were one of the worst, but it appears Scandinavia is filled with morons, but Switserland and Estonia are also apparently insane.
I don't have a problem with fines for using a mobile phone or running red lights, but come on, for Vmax + 21, some countries have absolutely retarded anti speeding campaigns. Learn from bloody Germany or Poland. There should never be speed limits on motorways in the first place…
Juancho
Guys I got clocked doing 42 kph on the motorway in France. I paid 135€ but also had to surrender my Swiss DL. Do you know how long will it take them to send me my DL back?, also, would they inform the Swiss STVA about it? – if they do im doomed!
On all Serbian freeways they've implemented average speed measuring by calculating how much time it took you from one toll plaza to the next one. Cops are often waiting 24/7 for drivers in transit, and you have to pay in RSD on spot. The tolerance is zero, there are cases of people barely getting away with 122 average speed in 120 zone (May 2018). Since June 2018 the speed limit was hiked to 130, but zero tolerance policy is still in effect. In addition, they still patrol the roads in unmanned cars for those who try to speed big time and then take a break at the gas station to try to cheat the system.
Nowadays in Albania for 21km/h above the limit the fines are way more. Starts from 5000 ALL (near 40€) to 25000 ALL(200€).
For texting its 2000 ALL (15€)
And for red stop light it's 15000 ALL (110€).
Best regards from Albania.

The info for Bosnia and Herzegovina are outdated or false. As of February 2017, the fines and other penalties go as follows: +21 kph over the speed limit on ANY type of road = €50 + 1 month license suspension, using phone = €50, improper overtaking = €50 (+1 month license suspension if dangerous/risky overtaking, and red light = €50 + 1 month license suspension. The fines can be reduced by 50% if paid under 8 days. If penalties are administered by a court, then for all these offenses the fine can go up to €150 and 4 months of license withdrawal, with no possibility to pay 50% of the fine only. Plus you would have to add €10 of administrative taxes, and all the court expenses. The alcohol limit is still 0.03% and 0.00% for new drivers (3 years after obtaining the driving license). Penalties for drunk driving can go anywhere from €25 to €500 and jail depending on the exact level of alcohol in the blood. Besides that, a license withdrawal of up to 6 months is possible (mandatory for levels over 0.08%), or up to 1 year if administered by court. If an accident is caused by drunk driving the fine can go up to €2500. If a person is killed, there is a prison sentence of up to 20 years. Other common penalties (which are very gladly enforced by the cops) include: €50 for seatbelt offense, €50 for not yielding to vehicle or stopping at a stop sign (+1 month of license suspension if immediate danger), €50 + 1 month license suspension for not yielding to a pedestrian on a controlled crosswalk, €200 + 2 months of license suspension for transporting a child under the age of 12 on the front seat, €25 for road marking and roundabout offenses, €25 for making too much noise with the vehicle, €20 for not carrying mandatory items (first aid kit, reflective vest, set of light bulbs, etc.), €20 for parking/stopping offenses, €15 for driving with lights off during the day, and €15 for not carrying driving license and other proper paperwork/documents while driving. There is one specificity which is uncommon in Europe, but very common in the U.S. (and Bosnia) regarding school busses or other children transport vehicles: any vehicle transporting children which has a special orange square sign in front and back of the vehicle which has stopped in order to let children in or out of the vehicle means STOP for vehicles traveling in both directions. Failing to do so can result in a €50-150 fine and 1-4 months of license suspension. Also, radar detector devices are now illegal and people can be fined up to €150 for even owning such a device. The device shall also be confiscated. Those selling or advertising such devices can get a fine of up to €2500. Otherwise, the maximum possible fine is €5000. It is prescribed to road maintenance companies for failing to do their job correctly, and to any company employing drivers who might let those drivers work for too long or making them work despite their license being revoked/suspended. And to finish, a few fines destined to cyclists and pedestrians: most fines range from €15 to €25. One interesting thing is also that pedestrians are prohibited from using a phone, texting, reading newspapers, etc., while crossing the road… even on a controlled crosswalk. The fine is €25.
I know that they enforce the license suspension also for foreign drivers (seen it on "Slučajevi X" aired on Hayat). But how is it enforced in practice? I saw a BiH expat in Sarajevo caught going through a red light. He was fined 100 BAM (52 EUR) and received a one-month driving suspension on the entire territory of BiH. However he still drove away in his Porsche. If they leave a grace period (for example for a legal challenge) he could have left the country in the mean time and the suspension de facto didn't apply, or?
I was stopped by the police in Bosnia because I was overtaking where it was not allowed. I needed to pay 100 BAM (50 euro) according to the police and they needed to take my driver license for 1 month. After a while they also gave me the option to just pay 50 BAM (25 euro, which disappeared in their pockets) and I got my license back too. Just negotiate with the cops, in Bosnia it's still possible so make use of it. And make sure you don't pay for something you didn't do! They wanted to let me pay for a speeding offence (40 over the limit) too and also because I didn't wear a seat belt according to them. Sure I was speeding (not that much), but they didn't have a measurement and I was wearing my seat belt, but I took it off because they stopped me. Be polite, but show that you don't want to pay for something you didn't do.

Great site….thanks. Malta (EU) is missing 🙁
Thank you 🙂 And Malta is missing. Do you have any info or references on it?
Potocki
SpeedingEurope Team,
I put some info on Malta at Europe side over a year ago.
"MALTA In Malta you have roads in a worse condition than in most places in Europe, but still you can drive them. They are bumpy, curvy with uneven, often broken tarmac. The speed limits are 50kmh in the city and 80 kmh outside, but the roads are so curvy and so poor that it is not that easy to go much faster. There are some speed cameras on main roads but not many( I've seen 2-3, some say that they are 10 and measure average speed). There is a lot of police but it's probably not the traffic police (seen 1-2 controlling cars). The driving style is something between Souther Europe and Middle East. If there is a place in front people move on but rather slowly, respecting the priority rule when they realy feel you are not going to stop and yield. They drive slowly but may turn with no signals, use 2 lanes instead of one. As it was outside Europe a 'highway' does not necessarily mean dual carriageway with no crossings. The local roads may have ony 1 lane (in both directions). Often you have an impression that you are driving into somebody's farm while actualy driving along a major road. I don't know what are the fines for speeding unfortunately, but I do not think there is a big chance of getting a ticket. Speed safely and don't get caught!

In finland, if you speed more than 20km/h, the fines are based on your incomes. The listed value you have is pretty much the minimum of the scale for persons with low income. On the other end, there are cases where a person was given 36000€ fine for going 23km/h over the limit and on another occasion 50000+ euro fine for same person. (Google for reima kuisla)
If your net income (after taxes) is 2500€ month, and you speed 21km/h when speed limit is more than 60, the fine is on average 560€. (Ref https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-6548126 – use google translate)
Your values in Switzerland are outdated as there has been a major change in traffic law. I can help you get the new numbers if interested
Yes, please 🙂
Alex Kavell
Hej SpeedingEurope Team,
Just saw your site today, it's great, I will contribute soon (probably) as I am kind of a forgetful driver who doesn't slow down some times…
I can confirm your data on Slovenia speeding tickets, it is correct as of 16 May 2017!
Best regards from Vienna,

Akon: 'America was never built for black people' – Talks to Al Jazeera
Globe Afrique Research and Analysis February 17, 2019
110 Less than a minute
The Senegalese-American recording artist talks frankly about US race relations, "rebranding".
Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and actor. He rose to prominence in 2004 following the release of "Locked Up", the first single from his debut album, Trouble. He has since founded two successful record labels, Konvict Muzik and Kon Live Distribution. The labels served as a stepping stone for many soon-to-be successful acts, most notably Lady Gaga, T-Pain, R. City, Kardinall Offishall and Red Café.
Akon was born in St. Louis, Missouri in a Muslim family. He spent a significant part of his childhood in Senegal, which he described as his "hometown". A child of a dancer mother and a percussionist father, Mor Thiam, Akon learned to play five instruments, including drums, guitar and djembe. At age 7, he moved with his family to Union City, New Jersey, splitting his time between the United States and Senegal until settling in Newark, New Jersey. Growing up in New Jersey, Akon had difficulties getting along with other children. When he and his older brother reached high school, his parents left them on their own in Jersey City and moved the rest of the family to Atlanta, Georgia.

It can break your heart to see your child feeling lousy when she's sick, whether it's the flu, strep throat, or just a run-of-the-mill cold. You can't wave a magic wand and send her symptoms packing, but you can help her feel better. Here are a few ways to make your child more comfortable when she's under the weather.
Help her rest. Even when they're not sick, young children need a lot of sleep -- at least 10 hours a night for school-aged kids. When a cold or the flu strikes, they may need even more. If your child has long given up her afternoon nap, you may have trouble convincing her to stay in bed. Remind her that rest will help her feel better faster, and try letting her lie down while you read a book, listen to calming music, or play a quiet game together.
Keep her hydrated. Sick kids may have little interest in eating or drinking, but you should still keep offering fluids for them to sip throughout the day. Young children are more likely to get dehydrated when they're sick than adults are. In addition to water, you can try electrolyte solutions, broth, or Popsicles -- which may feel extra soothing to a kid with a sore throat.
Ease a stuffy nose safely. Decongestants aren't safe for kids under age 4. For younger kids, try a saline nose spray or drops, which can help clear out nasal passages and keep them moist. For babies, a suction tool like a nasal bulb can also help draw out extra mucus. You might also try putting a cool mist humidifier in your child's room. The added moisture can loosen congestion and help her breathe easier.
Cuddle up. Illness can be scary for some kids, especially if they have symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea. Cuddling and holding your child can help her feel less anxious and more relaxed and secure. It may even help her sleep better. If you're breastfeeding, your baby may want to nurse more often for comfort. Try propping your child in a more upright position during feedings to help her breathe easier.
Distract, distract, distract. Sure, you could always park her in front of the TV for a cartoon marathon. But a little creativity might help keep your child more entertained -- and distracted from her symptoms. Try playing "doctor" for sick dolls and stuffed animals, making a soothing treat like Popsicles or warm tea together, or even taking a short walk around the block for some fresh air.

Tamima bint Yusuf ibn Tashfin () est une princesse almoravide, une femme de lettres et une dirigeante politique, qui contribue au développement du mouvement almoravide.

Elle est la fille de Youssef ben Tachfine (r.1060-1106) et de son épouse Zaynab Nefzaouia, et la sœur du successeur de son père Ali ben Youssef (r.1106- 1142).

Biographie
Tamima est connue sous le surnom d'Oum Talha (la mère de Talha). Elle vécu à Fès, et selon certaines sources, elle a résidé en Andalousie à un moment de sa vie. Tamima reçoit une éducation littéraire et peut réciter de la poésie. Elle gère elle-même ses finances et surveille de près ses employés et comptables, discutant de ses affaires avec eux dans les moindres détails. Un de ses secrétaires tombe amoureux d'elle et ce dernier finit par lui avouer son amour. Tamima lui répond par un vers de poésie lui rappelant la différence de classe qui les sépare.

This is according to the 2017 UK Parkinson's Audit, published today.
The audit is the largest dataset ever collected about the quality of care provided to people with Parkinson's across the UK.
It was organised by the UK Parkinson's Excellence Network, a collaboration between health and social care professionals and the charity Parkinson's UK.
Fiona Lindop, a specialist physiotherapist at Derby Hospitals NHS Trust, is part of the audit's steering group and governance board and recently became the first therapy lead for UK Parkinson's Excellence Network.
She told Frontline: 'More people are been referred to physiotherapy earlier, which is great. However, only 16.8 per cent were been referred in the diagnosis phase.
'And we really want to capture people in the diagnosis phase, so we can encourage them in terms of exercise and maintaining their mobility and independence right from the start.
'They might not need physiotherapy on a regular basis at that point, but they do need an assessment and intervention advice.
'Also, the audit shows that 85.2 per cent of physios reported using outcome measures, which is slightly more than last year. But this is a major area of concern as it means 14.8 per cent of physiotherapists are not using any outcome measures.
In total, 95 physiotherapy services took part in the audit and collectively they reported on 1,514 people with Parkinson's.
Using standardised assessments, and with reference to evidence-based guidelines, the audit examined whether physiotherapists are currently providing quality services for people with Parkinson's.
However, the audit also found many areas requiring improvement, including that 14.8 per cent of physiotherapists reported they were not using any outcome measures.
In addition, there were 21 cases (3.2 per cent) of unregistered therapy support carrying out initial assessments.
As well as physiotherapy, the audit examined the provision of physiotherapy care across a range of clinical services, including occupational therapy and speech and language therapy.
A common theme across all areas of Parkinson's care was the need for more specialised multidisciplinary working.
The audit found that physiotherapists who were part of a fully integrated clinic model saw only 13.7 per cent of Parkinson's patients. However, 56.8 per cent of services did offer assessment as part of a multidisciplinary team.
It also highlighted standardised practises, communication and information sharing, medicines management and anticipatory care planning as areas that need improvements across all specialisms in Parkinson's care.

The Murder of an Important Afro-Brazilian Cultural Figure Has Brazilians Reeling in Run-Up to Vote
Mestre Moa de Katendê—a capoeira master and advocate for Afro-Brazilians—was killed after saying he would not support hard-right candidate for president, Jair Bolsonaro.
Reginaldo Rosário da Costa, 63, entered his neighborhood bar last Sunday night to celebrate. His preferred candidate for President of Brazil, the center-left Fernando Haddad, had avoided a first-round defeat by the neo-fascist Jair Bolsonaro.
Locals knew Rosário as Mestre Moa de Katendê in his Salvador neighborhood. He was a capoeira master and he traveled around the world promoting Afro-Brazilian culture.
But not everyone was happy.

9 Afro-Brazilian Musicians You Need to Check Out
Black musicians & rappers like Preta Rara, Xênia Franca and Bia Ferreira are directly addressing oppression and racism in Brazil.
Brazil is undergoing a modern black movement in which young Afro-Brazilians are embracing their blackness and openly addressing racism. Afro-Brazilian artists are now expressing this movement through their music and fashion style. In a country where people—black and white—have been brainwashed to believe that racism doesn't exist, this is revolutionary.
Black musicians and rappers like Preta Rara, Xênia Franca and Bia Ferreira directly address oppression and racism in the lyrics of their music and wear clothes and makeup that highlight their blackness and African heritage. These aren't the musicians you'll see on Globo television, but they will easily pack a show in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo or Salvador.
Below is a list of some Brazil's hottest conscious Afro-Brazilian musicians with, of course, a couple of bonus funk musicians. The list below doesn't include Liniker e os Cameloews, Karol Conka or Elza Soares because they have been featured before on OkayAfrica.

Monthly Web Development Update 10/2018: The Hurricane Web, End-To-End-Integrity, And RAIL
With the latest studies and official reports out this week, it seems that to avoid an irreversible climate change on Planet Earth, we need to act drastically within the next ten years. This rose a couple of doubts and assumptions that I find worth writing about.
One of the arguments I hear often is that we as individuals cannot make an impact and that climate change is "the big companies' fault". However, we as the consumers are the ones who make the decisions what we buy and from whom, whose products we use and which ones we avoid. And by choosing wisely, we can make a change. By talking to other people around you, by convincing your company owner to switch to renewable energy, for example, we can transform our society and economy to a more sustainable one that doesn't harm the planet as much. It will be a hard task, of course, but we can't deny our individual responsibility.
Maybe we should take this as an occasion to rethink how much we really need. Maybe going out into nature helps us reconnect with our environment. Maybe building something from hand and with slow methods, trying to understand the materials and their properties, helps us grasp how valuable the resources we currently have are — and what we would lose if we don't care about our planet now.
Chrome 70 is here with Desktop Progressive Web Apps on Windows and Linux, public key credentials in the Credential Management API, and named Workers.
Postgres 11 is out and brings more robustness and performance for partitioning, enhanced capabilities for query parallelism, Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation for expressions, and a couple of other useful and convenient changes.
As the new macOS Mojave and iOS 12 are out now, Safari 12 is as well. What's new in this version? A built-in password generator, a 3D and AR model viewer, icons in tabs, web pages on the latest watch OS, new form field attribute values, the Fullscreen API for iOS on iPads, font collection support in WOFF2, the font-display loading CSS property, Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0, and a couple of security enhancements.
Google's decision to force users to log into their Google account in the browser to be able to access services like Gmail caused a lot of discussions. Due to the negative feedback, Google promptly announced changes for v70. Nevertheless, this clearly shows the interests of the company and in which direction they're pushing the app. This is unfortunate as Chrome and the people working on that project shaped the web a lot in the past years and brought the ecosystem "web" to an entirely new level.
Microsoft Edge 18 is out and brings along the Web Authentication API, new autoplay policies, Service Worker updates, as well as CSS masking, background blend, and overscroll.

Max Böck wrote about the Hurricane Web and what we can do to keep users up-to-date even when bandwidth and battery are limited. Interestingly, CNN and NPR provided text-only pages during Hurricane Florence to serve low traffic that doesn't drain batteries. It would be amazing if we could move the default websites towards these goals — saving power and bandwidth — to improve not only performance and load times but also help the environment and make users happier.
