ALERT! FOX Announces 2011 – 2012 Schedule
Here it is, folks, direct from the FOX Upfront Advertising Event, FOX's 2011 – 2012 Primetime Programming Schedule (scroll down for complete schedule). Please note, if you don't see your favorite show from this season, recent cancellations have been covered here, however as we reported, the status of Breaking In is reported to be still up in the air.
If you have any questions about other shows, post them below.
Some programming notes:
Some solid scripted shows, however the new comedies seem weak, despite the star power behind them.
The elephant in the room that is Terra Nova: The Big Gamble. Depending on how well or poorly this does could change the direction of the entire schedule. Read why we believe TN is such a big gamble, here and here. Believe us, we're rooting for it, we're just nervous about it and we think FOX is too. We're still trying to figure out if they plan to run this for an entire 22 episode run because it's nowhere on the mid-season schedule. So it's either going for 13 episodes (which we believe would be the smarter move) or it will have an abbreviated 19 episode season non-stop through December.
New J.J. Abrams, series Alcatraz to premiere mid-season. Perhaps the smartest move of the schedule to avoid hiatuses and loss of interest by audiences of what no doubt will be a Lost-type serial.
After 24 seasons, America's Most Wanted is no longer a regular series. It will now be shown as four specials throughout the year.
The Cleveland Show has swapped places with American Dad, going to the less desirable 7:30 – 8:30 PM spot on Sunday and putting AD back into its longstanding 9:30 – 10:00 PM for the first half of the season. New series Allen Gregory will be in the 8:30 – 9:30 PM slot, a slot that was filled by The Cleveland Show for the first half of the season and Bob's Burgers for the second half. This gives credence to our suggestion that we made when the announcement for AD's renewal was made in which the press release claimed that an order had been placed for 22 episodes, however it contradicted itself by stating that the show was renewed through 2013. We suggested that one of the only ways this would make sense would be if AD was going to get half-season treatment, although we did find that scenario the most unlikely. This could change, however depending on the success/failure of AG and ND.
We're not expecting a whole lot from AG and ND and we don't think FOX is either. We explain why here. We expect these shows to both be canceled pretty quickly as the two had seven and six episodes orders, respectively. We hear that FOX has at least two more animated shows in the hopper waiting to go, though, just in case.
Finally, keep in mind that an NFL lockout is looming. This could send ripples through the entire FOX schedule.
So without further adieu:

Since we recently celebrated National Bosses Day on October 16, I began reflecting on the various professionals I have reported to over the years in terms of how they managed the team, handled problems and dealt with day-to-day operations. Thankfully, I have had some wonderful supervisors who have been positive role models and challenged me to be a leader, as well as improved my time management, communication skills, conflict resolution and overall attitude.
Multi-task – Being able to handle and reprioritize what needs to get done is an essential skill.
Be fair/consistent – Don't let your personal feelings affect your professional decisions. Be fair and consistent with your interactions.
Delegate appropriately – Delegating is important, not only to make sure that your workload is manageable, but also to show that you trust your team to get the job done.
Place others before yourself – Good bosses are not only leaders, but also servants. They realize it is more important to create a feeling of togetherness instead of a fragmented environment.
Compassionate feedback – Having to provide negative feedback when there is conflict or to an employee who has done something incorrect is a necessary evil. Make sure to tell your staff members what they've done right as well, not just what they've done wrong.
Let it go – There will always be people who have an issue with you simply because you're the boss. Stay focused on the positive.
Be respectful – The Golden Rule says treat others as you would want to be treated. It is as simple as that.
Ask for feedback – Show you truly care about your employees' opinions. Also, whenever possible, implement suggestions that make sense and give credit to those involved.
Communicate – Regular communication ensures that everyone is fully aware of communal goals, as well as encourages individuals to reach their highest potential.
Problem-solve – When there are issues, positive leaders roll up their sleeves and dive into problem-solving mode.
Be appreciative – Don't be afraid to compliment someone for a job well done. This goes a long way towards productivity, attitude and loyalty.
Enable work-life balance – Work-life balance is critical to effective management. Show you care by occasionally allowing exceptions to someone's schedule.
Be positive and have fun – Keep a positive attitude and add some fun activities to the daily grind. This will encourage employees to work harder and more productively. People want to feel good about coming into work and this, in turn, improves loyalty.
Studies have shown that the primary reason people stay or leave a company is due to their direct boss, so the question is this – do you want to work in a culture that's positive, respectful and fulfilling? If so, follow the guidelines above to reach this goal, keeping in mind that we are all continually striving to be better.

Dining In/Out (01/26/23)
Shake Shack, Tilde collaborate on dessert
SHAKE SHACK has teamed up with Tilde Bakery & Kitchen to bring together the best of both dessert worlds — Shake Shack's frozen custard and Tilde's handcrafted French Apple Pie — to create the Apple Pie Oh My Concrete. It is now available in all Shacks for dine in and takeaway in Single or Double sizes (meant for sharing), but only until Feb. 5. It features Shake Shack's vanilla frozen custard blended with Tilde's French Apple Pie. A community bakery located in Kapitolyo, Pasig, Tilde Bakery & Kitchen was started by childhood friends Ginny Roces de Guzman (former founder of Sugarhouse) and Chiqui Lara who wanted to create one of a kind cakes and pies. Made everything in-house daily, Tilde's handcrafted baked creations highlight the use of locally sourced ingredients and skills of their bakers, most of who have been with them since they started out as a small café in the back streets of Poblacion, Makati. Shake Shack is committed to supporting its local communities and sourcing real, premium ingredients. The concrete's frozen custard is made with real sugar, no corn syrup, and milk from dairy farmers who pledge never to use artificial growth hormones. A treat for a cause, 5% of sales from any Pie Oh My concrete support CENTEX, Ayala Foundation's holistic education program that promotes student, parent, and teacher development from underserved Filipino communities.
Green Rebel offers plant-based Asian cuisines
GREEN Rebel is a Southeast Asian start-up offering a wide range of plant-based products based on Asian cuisines to appeal to the palette of Southeast Asia and the wider Asia region. Green Rebel has made headlines in the past two years for its proprietary technology that is able to create whole-cut plant-based beef and chicken with a fibrous texture and "meaty" bite, including introducing the first whole-cut steak in Asia back in June 2021. Some of their signature products include the Indonesian household favorite, rendang — in the form of the Green Rebel Beefless Rendang. There's also a Japanese breaded classic, Green Rebel Chick'n Katsu, and Asia's first whole-cut plant-based steak, the Green Rebel Beefless Steak. When asked about Green Rebel's price points and how they expect to compete with other plant-based restaurants established in the Philippines, Helga Angelina Tjahjadi, the co-founder of Green Rebel, said: "As a whole, we are a category of product that is currently still more expensive than traditional animal protein. With that said, we (Green Rebel) are on a mission to make plant-based protein more accessible through a lower price point to the general public, doing so as we continuously move towards economies of scale and development of new technologies." To cater to Filipinos, Green Rebel has partnered with Vegore and Mayani, a local E-commerce platform with the goal of providing tasty, affordable, and healthy products to the Philippines and beyond. Other than being available in Mayani and Vegore apps, Green Rebel is expected to officially enter the Philippine market this February via partnerships with food services and supermarkets. Check out Green Rebel's meat-free products at their official website.

Whatever your business may be, you need security to keep your customers, employees, and any sensitive information safe. One way to provide that safety and security is with an access control system.
Access control systems are much more sophisticated than your average lock and key, offer better protection and are convenient for employees, customers, and business owners. There are several different types of access control systems with any combination of them working in tandem to create the custom security network your building needs.
What Type of Access Control System Is Best for You?
Access Cards & Card Readers – An access card can be thought of as an electric "key," being used by persons to gain access through doors secured by the card reader. Each card is uniquely encoded and is read by the card reader.
Access Control Keypads – Access control keypads have a numeric keypad, similar to the keypad on a phone. Users must enter the correct numeric code on the keypad in order to gain entry.
Visitor Management System Solutions – In most buildings, visitors are required to sign in on a paper ledger. Although cheap and easy, these provide almost zero security. A visitor management system like temporary key cards, lobby cameras, or special check-in software can be installed to manage visitors to your building better.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of all of the access control security available. However, these are some of the more popular options and can be used together or alone to upgrade the security of your building.
How Do I Install an Access Control System in My Building?
Starting the process of access control system is easy when you call State Systems! The design and installation of your business' access control system are crucial for it to effectively serve its purpose of protecting your building or office space. The access control technicians at State Systems will work with you to understand your commercial property's needs in designing location and security specifics of your system.
As a GE Security strategic partner, State Systems has the IT and security professionals necessary to work with your team to design and engineer an access control system that meets and exceeds your expectations. Whether you need security for internal control, external control, or both, an integrated system from State Systems can provide the reliability and flexibility you need in controlling the access to and from your facility.


There are many successful humanitarian projects in the field of global health, such as the prevention and treatment of malaria, despite the challenges faced on the way.
Every year, WHO and its partners unite around a common World Malaria Day theme. The theme for the 2016 edition was "End malaria for good." This reflects the vision of a malaria-free world. The strategy formed to achieve this goal aims to dramatically lower the global impact of malaria over the next 15 years. It also plans to reduce the rate of new malaria cases by at least 90%, reduce death rates by at least 90%, eliminate malaria in at least 35 countries and prevent a resurgence of malaria disease in all malaria-free countries.
While great strides are made regarding ending malaria, significant challenges remain. About 3.2 billion people – nearly half of the world's population – are at risk of getting infected with malaria disease. Just in 2015, there were an estimated 214 million new cases of malaria disease and 438,000 deaths, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Millions of people are still not accessing the services necessary for the prevention and treatment of malaria.
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria causes signs that typically include fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches. Also, these symptoms can be dangerous especially for pregnant women and young children who are experiencing the disease for the first time. Severe cases can cause yellow skin, seizures, coma or even death. The condition is widespread in the tropical and subtropical regions around the equator. Malaria doesn't only have an enormous impact on global health; it's also commonly associated with poverty and has a significant adverse effect on economic development. Also, losing the ability to work and high health care costs result in an estimated loss of US$12 billion a year.
Preventing infection, by avoiding bites by parasite-carrying mosquitoes through the use of mosquito nets, insecticides and destroying mosquito breeding grounds.
Fortunately, malaria is an entirely preventable and therefore a treatable disease. The primary objective of treatment must be to ensure rapid and above all, complete elimination of the parasite which causes malaria disease to prevent progression of uncomplicated malaria to severe illness or death. This isn't easy to achieve. The malaria parasite has begun to develop resistance to currently available drugs, and these resistant strains will spread. Many compassionate organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are investing in the development of new tools including medicines and strategies to prevent or delay resistance.

When Indian national Prem Purswaney arrived in Taiwan, like many expats he only intended to stay for a short time. That was 23 years ago.
Prem, born in Rajasthan, but raised in Dubai, arrived in October 1985 to do a short-term apprenticeship with his uncle's trading company.
Before long, six months had turned into six years. Then, in 1992 he met Priya, a fellow Indian living in Taiwan, who he married two years later.
The couple now have two children, a daughter, 10, and a five-year-old son — both born here — and are still in Taiwan. A place they have come to love and now call home.
"We even get homesick when we return to India to see our family," Priya said.
Back in the early days, Prem said, Taiwanese people knew little about India and he often got annoyed at the stereotypes he faced whenever he took a taxi.
"Drivers would often ask why I ate with my hand, why Indian women had spots [bindis] on their forehead and about the hot and spicy food," he said.
Nowadays, the same drivers are more likely to ask him about the IT industry and India's expertise in computer software.
This is a sign of how things have changed, and the increasingly close relationship that has formed between the two countries as ties have increased over the last two decades.
"When our office opened in 1995, there was very little bilateral trade," India-Taipei Association Director General T. P. Seetharam said.
By 2006, annual trade had grown to US$2.8 billion. Last year that figure had increased to US$5.38 billion.
"But there is still much room for improvement," he added.
Surprisingly, software — considered one of India's strengths — isn't a large contributor to its trade with Taiwan.
Seetharam puts that partly down to language differences and the fact that Indian software companies usually concentrate on Western markets.
But, he added, there are many other exchanges, both industrial and academic, in high-tech fields such as biotechnology and materials technology.
These exchanges have led to a mini influx of Indians into Taiwan, with small groups of Indian nationals springing up in several locations near the country's larger universities, most notably in Hsinchu and Taipei.
"There are almost 100 Indian scientists alone at Academia Sinica," he added.
Rajendra Prasad Janapatla, 32, from Hyderabad, has been in Tainan for three years conducting post-doctoral research in microbiology at National Cheng Kung University.
Raj, as his friends call him, said he enjoys life in Taiwan as it is much less hassle than in India, although he believes the locals, though friendly and helpful, are too shy when it comes to socializing with foreigners.
Like most expats here, Raj also has a few complaints.
In addition to these high-tech newcomers, "There are two major Indian communities which have been here for longer," Seetharam said.
First, there is "a community of traders — who buy and sell things around the globe," he added. This community (which speaks the Sindhi language) used to have around 200 families, but now numbers only 40 or 50 as the majority of them have migrated to China, mainly to Guangzhou, along with Taiwan's manufacturing.

CD OutShine Technologies specilly provides a special course Corel Draw.CorelDraw is a vector illustration program. Images are displayed on the computer screen as pixels. How the program treats the pixels is determined by whether the image is defined as a vector or a bitmap. A bitmap file determine the position, color and size of each pixel. A vector program defines a line of pixels and treats them as a single object.
When you have a vector image, you redefine the size and area of the lines. Each object is independent of the others and can be manipulated as needed. To make your work easier, Corel Corporation has added a few bitmap manipulation tools in DRAW and concludes its bitmap manipulation program, CorelPhotoPaint, when you purchase CorelDraw.
CorelDraw is one of the most powerful and versatile illustration programs on the market today, on any platform. In this class, I cannot train you all you can do with this program. I can only show you how to use the tools and effects included in the program. What you do with CorelDRAW is limited only by your awareness, time, and budget.

"I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels" (Isaiah 61:10 NIV).
Debbie's paternal grandparents had both a housekeeper and groundskeeper who lived in their basement apartment. Silas and Nina were like part of the family and had lived with the grandparents for as long as Debbie could remember. On many occasions, when Debbie's parents and grandparents went out to dinner, she and her older sister were left in the care of Silas and Nina. The girls' parents had no idea that Silas was molesting their precious children time and time again.
From the time Debbie and Beth were three- and six-years-old, until they were ten and thirteen, Silas fondled and sexually molested the girls in the basement apartment lit only by the black and white television blinking in the background. While Silas ravaged Debbie's body, her sister held her face in her hands and told her stories. Together, the girls escaped to a land faraway while the worse nightmare imaginable was played out before them.
Silas warned them," If you tell anybody, I'll hurt your brother." So the girls suffered in silence.
When Debbie was ten-years-old, she and her sister spent the night with her maternal grandmother while her parents were away on a business trip. The elderly grandmother paused at the opened door to watch her precious granddaughters kneeling beside their bed. With arms wrapped around each other they began to say their prayers.
What began as a tranquil picture of innocence transformed into a nimbus cloud of horrible darkness. Their grandmother clutched her heart as she heard the two little girls pray.
The sobbing grandmother rushed to the girls and held them to her breast. A few hours later, in the wee hours of the morning, their parents came back from their business trip…two days early. The girls could hear their parents crying in the next room, but nothing was ever mentioned about Silas. All they knew was that the next time they went to Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's house, Silas and Nina were gone.
Debbie accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior when she was a small child, but had a difficult time believing Jesus could accept her. She didn't see herself as a precious holy child of God dressed in robes of righteousness. She saw herself as a dirty orphan dressed in tattered rags. Then one day, she went to a Bible study and heard for the first time about her identity as a child of God.
Debbie accepted her new identity. It was there all along, like a cloak waiting to be placed on the princess's regal shoulders. She received the robe of righteousness and now walks with the confidence of a dearly loved child of the King. To me, she looks like a Queen. Debbie is one of my heroes.
This devotion may have been difficult for you to read, but it is very important. No matter what you have been through, if you know Jesus as Savior and Lord, you are a child of the King. Have you accepted your new identity? Are you ready to start believing the truth? Are you ready to put off the ragged robes of shame and put on the robe of righteousness that Jesus purchased just for you with His own life? He's holding it open for you right now. Slip it on. It's just your size.
Is there anything in your life that Satan has held up as a distorted mirror of who you are?
What do you need to tell the enemy when he taunts you with the past?
What did Jesus do in the wilderness when the enemy taunted him? If you're not sure, check it out in Matthew chapter 4. The same weapon Jesus used is available to each of us.

(as many Persian Sunnis of the south did). The 'Al-Awadhi's are are very respected family, not just in Kuwait but in all of the Khalij, including Bahrain (where they are known as Sunni 'Ajams i.e. Sunni Persians). They are known as well educated people, businessmen and in the case of Nabil Al-'Awadhi, Islamic preachers.
The sad news is that the Kuwaiti parliament stripped Shaikh Nabil Al-'Awadhi of his Kuwaiti passport (Shia members of the Kuwaiti parliament are very powerful, and have always wanted to get rid of this outspoken Islamic preacher who has exposed the crimes of Iran and Hezbollat in Syria).

Menzel was the leading master of later nineteenth-century German art.
In its deftness and subtlety of line and modelling, it compares with the life drawings of Degas, also represented in the Barber collection. The drawing is a study for the gouache entitled 'Contribution', signed and dated 1884, and now in the Kupfertichkabinett, Berlin.


The Department of Public Safety released details on the arrests of who the agency calls "super speeders" -- motorists caught by photo enforcement cameras on Valley freeways.
Coincidentally, New Times called DPS last night about the issue, and wrote about it this morning.
But get this -- it turns out one of the "super speeders" was only going 89 in a 65 and got arrested in her home. Whoa, that's harsh -- especially when DPS knows she won't be prosecuted. Sounds like the troopers are going to be arresting people who get flashed by the cameras going more than 20 over now -- criminal speed. If that's not a deterrent, we don't know what is.
UPDATE: Turns out the woman really got arrested for going 103, not 89, DPS says on Friday. That makes more sense. The news release below should have contained that info, says the agency. Charlene Lupe Ocampo (below) did get flashed going 89, too -- by another speed camera as she was slowing down. BTW, we changed the headline on this blog post to reflect the new info.
Seven residents of the Valley have been arrested by Arizona Department of Public Safety Officers for criminal speeding and other charges after being caught by photo enforcement cameras along Valley freeways. These are three of the motorists arrested recently.
Stephen Patrick Reeves of Scottsdale was arrested at his home on March 25, 2009 and booked into the 4th Avenue jail. He was charged with criminal speeding and reckless driving. On November 8, 2008, Reeves was captured by the photo enforcement stationary cameras traveling southbound on State Route 51 near Bethany Home Road. His vehicle was traveling at a speed of 130 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone. Charges are pending in the Maricopa County Justice Court.
Dameon Habinger, 18, was arrested at his home on March 6, 2009 and booked into the 4th Avenue jail. He was charged with criminal speeding and reckless driving. On January 21, 2009, at about 7:38 p.m., Habinger was captured by the photo enforcement stationary cameras traveling eastbound on State Route 101 at milepost 17 (75th Avenue). His 1997 Ford Crown Victoria was traveling at a speed of 113 miles per hour in the posted 65 mile per hour zone. Charges are pending in the Maricopa County Justice Court.
DPS also released a photo of a fourth person who was arrested for an alleged speed camera violation, Ian Jason Garrett (below), who was said to be traveling 103 in a 65. The sign on Garrett's passenger-side door is for a driving school.

Shila Amzah Reminisces Living in Hong Kong
Homegrown award-winning singer songwriter Shila Amzah is no stranger to the music scene. Known for her multilingual talent, Shila grew up listening to Cantopop artists Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui.
Shila entered the Chinese pop scene in 2012 when she won the Asian Wave reality singing contest in Shanghai, China. After which her legendary career expansion begun. She lived in Hong Kong in the early years of her career expansion, from 2012 to 2014.
With Hari Raya around the corner, Shila shares her experience living abroad and how she spent Ramadan and Raya in Hong Kong
Shila would miss home the most during Ramadan because she knew she would not be able to celebrate Raya with her family and friends in Malaysia. She was very grateful to find a community in Hong Kong which she can spend her Ramadan with.
Her most memorable Ramadan gathering in Hong Kong was when she berbuka puasa at the Malaysian Embassy with other Malaysian and Muslim friends. "It was really fun and merry as I was feeling homesick then; they were so kind to invite me over for dinner to break our fast and pray together. It really meant a lot to me."
Hong Kong Skyline at night
As a melting pot of different cultures, Hong Kong's well-known diversity also helped Shila to quickly find her feet in the city when she first relocated to Hong Kong. "With so many expats in Hong Kong, the locals have exposure to different cultures and races in their day-to-day lives, true to its title of Asia's World City. Therefore even as a Malaysian Muslim expat, I felt very comfortable when I was in Hong Kong and I am very delighted and grateful that I have made the right choice to grow my career there."
Shila enjoying the view of Fringe Club
Fringe Club
Even though Muslims are a minority in Hong Kong, with a community of 300,000 living in the city, there are still good options of Halal eateries, shops and markets for Muslims. Halal tourism has always been one of Hong Kong Tourism Board's focus and a lot of effort has been put into promoting Hong Kong as a Muslim Friendly travel destination.
"Personally, I do feel Hong Kong has been continuously enhancing its hospitality to welcome Muslim travellers. And as food paradise, there are a lot of food options for the Muslim community living in Hong Kong ."
"Although I mostly cooked at home during Ramadan, sometimes if I didn't feel like cooking, I would conveniently dine out at a Halal eatery in my neighbourhood. There are quite a number of Muslim-friendly eateries serving up every cuisine I could dream of. "
Halal DimSum at Islamic Center Canteen – next to Ammar Mosque
Ammar Mosque
Shila would frequent a Halal restaurant near Gold Coast Hotel where she would order her favourite item on their menu "a mind-blowing Biryani". If she longed for local Hong Kong food she would go to Ammar Mosque and Osman Ramju Sadick Islamic Centre in Wan Chai for their authentic Halal Dim Sum and Chinese food.
"There are also a few Turkish restaurants along the road in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay area, and several Indonesian and Malaysian eateries in the Kowloon area where I can satisfy my Nasi Goreng cravings."
Shila enjoying her walks in the city
As an artist, Shila constantly seeks inspiration from her surrounding environment. One of Shila's favourite places is the Wan Chai harbour area. "I love taking an evening stroll to enjoy the magnificent harbour view which truly inspires me; it is at night that Hong Kong truly shines."
Kowloon Masjid
Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district
Another of Shila's favourite place is the Kowloon Masjid, where she enjoys the classic Islamic architecture housed amidst the bustling shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui. "When I am there, I would marvel at its beautiful dome, minarets and incredibly detailed latticed windows as it is very relaxing and also inspiring for me."
Halal certified restaurant at Ocean Park
In maintaining a work-life balance, Shila never forgets to take breaks from her hectic work schedule. For a fun and good workout, she will go to Ocean Park Hong Kong, one of the major Hong Kong attractions with Halal certified restaurants and prayer rooms. "Anyone who goes to Hong Kong should also check out Ocean Park, it is so fun to interact with different animals and to experience exciting thrill rides, and it is great for all ages!"
Known for her colourful hijabs and style, the fashion inspiration icon for young Muslim women around the world also has a secret love for sneakers. "For shopping, I absolutely love the 'Sneakers Street' in Mong Kok. It was always exciting for me when I go hunting for the latest trendy sneakers, and the limited and special editions of designer sneakers. I have even brought some friends there and played the tour guide to shoes."
"If you truly want to immerse yourself in a new place, you need to spend time simply being there; being among the people, trying new foods and walking a mile in the locals' shoes. Walking around the city is the best way to really see it all."
"I utterly cannot wait to visit Hong Kong once the travel restrictions are lifted"

Le rhizophyte est un procédé de traitement des boues de stations d'épuration.

Son principe repose sur la déshydratation des boues dans des bassins plantés de roseaux et de massettes. Grâce aux plantes, les boues s'égouttent plus efficacement et surtout à moindres frais (le stockage des boues est aussi permis sur une durée assez longue (5 à 10 ans)).
Le réseau racinaire permet une pénétration profonde de l'oxygène ce qui facilite l'activité des micro-organismes épurateurs.
L'activité bactérienne s'intensifie le long des racines et aboutit à une minéralisation efficace des boues.

Il en résulte la quasi-absence d'odeurs, une meilleure valorisation des boues d'épuration (engrais) et un traitement plus écologique lors de l'épuration des eaux usées (absence de produits chimiques).

Si ce procédé présente de nombreux avantages, il est néanmoins assez long et nécessite de grandes surfaces pour sa mise en place, et supporte mal l'apport massif et brutal d'effluents.

The "exit" and "quit" commands are used to terminate the program. Both exit and quit perform the same function and can be used interchangeably.
Note: Using exit or quit in a script will terminate the script AND the session immediately. When the end of a script file is reached, control is automatically returned to the script's caller. There is no need to include an exit or quit command in a script unless the script needs to terminate the program as part of its operation.

2BAD4U: Here are all the personalized license plates (so far) you cannot have in Utah
Cars • Official guidelines have created a not-so-short list of rejections.
Courtesy image
By Amy Mcdonald The Salt Lake Tribune
· May 2, 2015 10:51 am
There are at least 6,549 license plates in Utah that no one can have.
Every year, the state processes more than 10,000 applications from people who want 2BCOOL — and have a vanity license plate. Of those, about 5 percent don't make it past the scrutiny of the Office of Miscellaneous Services, the division of the Department of Motor Vehicles that deals with personalized license plates.
Since it started providing personalized plates in the 1970s, the office has rejected more than 6,000 applications, according to a list provided to The Salt Lake Tribune. SEARCH: See the restricted plates
So, what makes the cut? • The DMV's website says any proposed plate that is vulgar, derogatory, profane or obscene gets rejected. Also nixed: Anything related to drugs, drug paraphernalia, sexual acts, genitalia or bodily functions.
Plates also can't hint at superiority or contempt of a race, religion, deity, ethnicity or gender.
Those guidelines lead to a not-so-short list of rejected plates.
There's the sex ones, like "0KNBED," "EZLADY," "4N1K8," and any combination of the numbers 6 and 9 (which is also the case for standard plates).
That means not only are plates like "69XTC" banned, but also "69TBIRD." Last year, Arnold Breitenbach, a Vietnam War veteran and Purple Heart recipient from St. George, was denied for the same reason — though he intended the plate letters "CIB-69" to represent his Combat Infantryman's Badge plus the year he was awarded the Purple Heart.
No body functions, so no "POOP" and "0FART."
No drugs and alcohol, so "OXICT1N" and "CHRDNAY" are out.
Nothing considered insulting: "4NSKS," or "NOMOMOS," and scores of racial and ethnic slurs have been rejected.
And then there's the just plain rude: "IH8U," "0BYTME," "PYOU."
But some bans are puzzling: "RUGOOD," "COFFEE" and "CHEESE" are all banned. So are "LESBIAN" or "GAYGUY." It appears that "STR8" is available and "STRAT" is already issued, according to the DMV website ("STRAIGHT" is one letter too long).
The process • So who makes the call?
Personalized license plates undergo a series of "checks," said Alison Imlay, manager of the Office of Miscellaneous Services. The plates are run through a computer program, and searches on Google or Urban Dictionary. Hopefully, that catches the "most likely meaning of the plate," Imlay said.
But that won't catch everything, and the office relies on its "very knowledgeable" staff of eight, Imlay said. The office also deals with things like impounds, tow yards and insurance questions — hence the title: Office of Miscellaneous Services. (Department of Mysteries, anyone?)
How do staffers keep their minds in the gutter? Imlay didn't say, but she did divulge that a person's knowledge of vulgarity is not a question asked in the job interview.
But even with a savvy staff, the process leaves a big question: Who decides what is "vulgar," "derogatory" or "profane"?
"These are judgment calls," said Charlie Roberts, a spokesperson for the DMV.
Sometimes, "bad" plates slip through the cracks: Recently, the department recalled the plate "IFUSEEK."
The plates were on the streets when a complaint came to the office. Roberts said at first, the staff couldn't figure out why it was offensive, assuming it had a religious undertone (If you seek, you will find, and so forth.) But Roberts said his middle school days made the offense pretty obvious. We'll let you figure it out (Hint: "see" is the phonetic version of the letter "c").
Another time, a man applied for the personalized plate, "SSMAN," claiming a desire to profess his pride to be from South Summit. The plate was printed and almost delivered before someone caught the trick — the plate was on a Utah State Aggies group plate, which dons a big "A" on the left side.
Wondering what kind of gross things you could get on your plates? We've put together a database to search the 6,000-plus banned license plates.

Down But Not Out: McEnroe wins CTCA Title
Cancer Treatment Center of America Championships
Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex - Surprise, Ariz.
Nov. 5-9, 2008
Vintage performance: Facing a gusty wind and a dust storm in the final against Todd Martin, John McEnroe (left) proved he's still got plenty of game, even for 49 years old.
John McEnroe finally broke his final-round hex against Todd Martin, coming from a set and a break down to win a windy and wild final at the $150,000 Cancer Treatment Centers of America Tennis Championships at Surprise Sunday at the Surprise Tennis and Racquet Complex in suburban Phoenix. After losing to Martin in three previous finals on the Outback Champions Series circuit, the 49-year-old McEnroe broke through to beat Martin 3-6, 7-6 (3), 11-9 (Champions Tie-breaker) to win $50,000 in prize money and his second career title on the New York-based global tennis circuit for champion tennis players over the age of 30.
Playing in severe desert wind gusts of up to 35 mph that knocked over courtside umbrellas and chairs, McEnroe fell behind a set and a break deep in the second set, and appeared on the verge of losing, with Martin a game away from the match, serving at 6-5 in the second.
Close but no cigar: Todd Martin was a game away from the title, but couldn't close out John McEnroe for the tournament title.
McEnroe, however, clawed his way back to break Martin's serve and force a second-set tie-breaker. With the second-set tie-breaker tied at 3-3, McEnroe won the final four points, benefitting from a Martin double-fault on the final point, to force the decisive Champions Tie-breaker, a 10-point tie-breaker played in lieu of a third-set. McEnroe took an early 5-1 lead in the Champions Tie-breaker and held on to reach double-match point at 9-7.
McEnroe then committed two errors for 9-9, before Martin's missed forehand gave McEnroe his third match point at 10-9. McEnroe then closed out the match with an ace, using his signature left-handed slice serve out wide on the ad-court to finish the epic match in style.
McEnroe said the gusty conditions were possibly "the windiest conditions I have ever played in" and credited the supportive and spirited Arizona crowd with giving him inspiration to win the title.
"I thought this may have been the best I played all year and I think a lot of that had to do with the crowds," said McEnroe.
In typical McEnroe fashion, the histrionics were as much a part of the show as his great tennis.
"I was able to feed off of their energy all week. I think one of the keys was that I was able to shrug things off today. The older you get, it gets harder to do that but I really did a good job with that today."
Martin, who earned $30,000 for the runner-up showing, was seeking his fourth career Outback Champions Series title, having won titles previously in Boston in 2006, Newport, R.I. in 2007 and Naples, Fla., earlier this year – all at the expense of McEnroe, his final-round victim in all three events.
"There were some totally bizarre points out there today given the conditions," said the 38-year-old Martin of the windy conditions. "John has an advantage in those conditions because of the off pace ball that he hits. I'm 50-50 in those conditions and his tendencies give him an advantage. John just controls the ball so well and in those conditions you need to. If I played him in a tight-confined space, he may win every time."
Wayne Bryan - father of Mike and Bob Bryan the world No. 1 ranked American doubles pair - was an on-court commentator, and host of this clinic, held on Friday for adults and kids.
McEnroe started the match by breaking Martin in the opening game of the match and held for a 2-0 lead. Martin, however, rolled through the next five games to take a 5-2 lead before holding on to win the set 6-3. Martin broke McEnroe to lead 3-2 in the second set, only to have McEnroe break immediately to get to 3-3.
After holding serve, McEnroe broke Martin again to lead 5-3, but was unable to serve out the set. Martin then held serve to even the second set at 5-5. He then broke McEnroe to serve for the match at 6-5, where McEnroe began his spirited comeback.
McEnroe won his only previous title on the Outback Champions Series earlier this year in Boston, where he defeated Aaron Krickstein in the final.
In the third-place playoff Sunday, Magnus Larsson defeated Anders Jarryd 6-1, 7-6 (0) in an all-Swedish affair.

Plenty of USTA members and non-members alike stopped off to try and win two Babolat racquets given out by the USTA Southwest.
The USTA Southwest also played a part in the event, placing a program booth in the tournament's Vendor Village throughout the five days of the tournament, manned by USTA Southwest employees and USTA Central Arizona volunteers. A special USTA Member Appreciation Day was also held Friday, Nov. 7 between the day and night session for USTA members in attendance that included a special meet-and-greet with four of the event's players - Todd Martin, Karel Novacek, Wayne Ferreira and Magnus Larsson. Members also received free USTA keychains for attending.
The event was a great opportunity for the USTA to connect with members, as many stopped by the USTA Southwest/CAZ booth for program information and to put their names in for the two Babolat racquets that were being raffled off, or just to mingle with and ask questions to the USTA staff on hand.
One of several youths in attendance at the Kids' Clinic on Sat., Nov. 8. Professional players served as instructors allowing players like this young girl the chance to meet and learn from the pros.
T-shirts, water bottles and USTA CAZ bracelets were also given out to those who stopped off by the booth. Contest winners in the raffle included Laila Inger of Surprise, Ariz. and Russ Wagner of Prescott, Ariz.
Two clinics were also held on Friday and Saturday that drew big crowds, as Jim Courier, Jimmy Arias, Ferreira, Larsson and Novacek, along with Wayne Bryan got on court with Phoenix-area residents, including several from the Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex in the Saturday kids' clinic.
The Cancer Treatment Center of America Tennis Championships will be in Surprise through 2010, as the city's contract with the Outback Champions Series Tour runs through then.

protected void ItemBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs args)
{
if (args.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || args.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
var Monthname =((Label)e.Item.FindControl("monthlabel")).Text
    Repeater childRepeater = (Repeater)args.Item.FindControl("ChildRepeater");
    childRepeater.DataSource = ...;
    childRepeater.DataBind();
}

}

A: Use this approach. Put a LinkButton inside your repeater (example bellow):
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">

    <ItemTemplate>

                <asp:LinkButton runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("mnth") %>' CommandArgument='<%#Eval("mnth") %>' OnCommand="OnMonthSelected"></asp:LinkButton>

    </ItemTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>

and then in OnCommand event handler get month value and get all blog posts by month.
protected void OnMonthSelected(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
    int month = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

    //get blog posts for month
}

"Oblivion" is a song by British band Bastille from their 2013 album Bad Blood. It was released digitally in the UK on 5 September 2014 as the eighth overall and final single from the album. A limited edition 7-inch vinyl edition of the single, featuring the previously unreleased track "bad_news" as the B-side, was also released on 8 September.
The song was featured on an episode of the television series The Vampire Diaries in 2012.
The band confirmed during their headline set at London's Somerset House on July 15 that "Oblivion" will be the next single from Bad Blood.
The music video was exclusively premiered on MSN Music UK on Monday July 21. It was later published through Bastille's Vevo channel on YouTube the same day. The video was directed by Austin Peters (who previously directed the band's "Flaws" and "Laura Palmer" music videos) and stars actress Sophie Turner (known for her role in the television series Game of Thrones). She is seen lip-syncing to the lyrics of the song, singing in front of a crowd of people at a demolition derby.
Bad News is the self-titled debut album from British heavy metal group Bad News released in October 1987 by EMI. The album features a cover of the famous Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody" and was produced by Queen's guitarist Brian May. "Bohemian Rhapsody" was released as a single and had a music video created for it, written and directed by Adrian Edmondson, who portrays Vim Fuego in the group. The video was released as a video single by Picture Music International. In 2004, EMI re-released the album with a re-ordered track listing and with additions of tracks derived from the group's follow-up album The Cash In Compilation.
Until she starts screaming "Leave me alone"


Describing musical instruments in terms of tone and response can be tricky as there is no generally agreed terminology. A few words I'd accept as having common meaning and some can of course be taken from the science of acoustics but in the main, analogy and poetry creep in to our attempts to describe the instruments we play and we may well be left with a confused picture. I therefore attempt to keep my descriptions to words that I think make the most sense whether on the poetic or the scientific side. There is no replacement for the ear of course and so I will add video and sound as much as possible. Or come and visit!
An instrument first and foremost has to feel right to you. I'm not just talking (in my case) about the neck profile, body size and finish but also the way the strings feel on both hands – the way it responds. It also hand in hand has to sound right to you. Volume is something but not everything. It's a complex picture of how the notes blend together, how 'airy' or 'solid' it sounds and its frequency emphasis. Also how it holds together in a strum or how 'open' and responsive it is when picked. And the rest…..
When I first started, I built all my mandolin family instruments with 'flat' (slightly arched) tops and backs like my guitars. It was mostly what I saw around me being played – uk hand made ones and the more arched top, portuguese models. I was happy with them and they all still sound great and remain well loved and used today. But as I started to hear old Gibsons and carve my tops and backs I soon realised that this approach would become my mainstay. They were more balanced, still wonderfully harmonically rich, you could hit them hard as you like, they were structurally more robust and they had a weight in the tone (fundamental) I was missing. With the way I was building them, I was getting a bit of the flat and the classic carved top sound which pleased me. I have made a few with carved tops and flat backs which worked well but I now exclusively make with a carved back as well as top.
In terms of American folk and Bluegrass, my mandos fit in well due to the obvious Gibson influence but I have simplified my models thus far to two, based on what I get asked for, my aesthetic and the music which I have the most affiliation for – Northern European Folk. I have also made a number for mandolin orchestra customers who are using them for a more classical repertoire. I can't rule out an f5 for the future ….we'll see.
Again, my bouzoukis and octave mandolas started off as flat top and back models with floating bridge but I soon started to build with a bigger body and with a guitar pin bridge which gave me a power and bass response I wasn't getting before. This made for a great rhythm bouzouki but it was when I added the carved Apline Spruce top that I found I could get the treble cut for melody but keep the thumping bass response. More recently, I have made two guitar bouzoukis based partially on the Sobell model played by Andy Irvine. These I built with more top and back arching than my standard guitars to give headroom and treble cut and they worked wonderfully. They are especially suitable for rhythm accompaniment but are still fantastic all rounders, having a weight in the treble that cuts through well.
I think I can call my instruments hand made. It's not about the tools and machines – mine are pretty low key in the grand scheme but that's mostly irrelevant. It's about the approach. Production or a Bespoke. I make small numbers and so I get more time to select timber, grade it and match it. I get more time with the customer if need be and to think about and execute the project at hand. I make all the wooden components myself other than the internal linings and do my own inlay and finishing. All round I like the flexibility and control it gives me. There are good makers around adopting both approaches, it's what works for me.
I always make my instruments with longevity in mind as I want my guitars and mandolins to stand up well to the rigours of gigging and touring. I don't make structural compromises when it comes to voicing and build all my instruments in a humidity controlled environment to mitigate for wood movement in different environments here in the UK and across the world. I select the best materials I can get my hands on, make sure they are seasoned and acclimatised and have the time to check each piece thoroughly before and during construction. I build with common sense measures to mitigate for cracks and distortion. I finish my instruments in a musical instrument specific lacquer designed for the job.
My prices I hope very fairly reflect the standard of my work and my commitment to after sales care as well as the time spent with the customer. I don't currently sell through shops so when you buy from me there is no middle person up charge. I always want to remain accessible to musicians and want all my customers to feel that they don't have to keep them in a glass case. 'Boutique' guitars you may see on line are named thus because they are sold through boutiques, online or physical and mainly in the US. The double price tag is basically that up charge. A high price may in some cases justify the reputation and experience of a maker but nonetheless it quite often includes that cost.

WATSON WATCH
Florio breaks down how Watson's 1st official response was for benefit of media
ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio reacts to the first official response from Watson's camp which makes the claim that all 22 plaintiffs are lying. Florio goes on to explain that some actions taken in cases like this are done for the benefit of the case, from a legal standpoint, and some are for the benefit of the media. Mike explains in the video above why this move falls in the latter category.
Floiro also points out that calling the plaintiffs liars can have an impact on the case that the common person may not realize. Florio worked as a lawyer for many years, and he knows that the aggressive tactics and accusations from Watson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, could cause some of the plaintiffs to call lawyer Tony Buzbee worried about the state of the case, which could make them more likely to want to settle. Check out the video to learn more.

The stimulus evidence one year on
Bob Weeks March 2, 2010 1 Comment2 Mins Read
Last week the Wall Street Journal reported a piece that analyzes whether the Obama stimulus plan, after one year's time, can be judged a success. (See The Stimulus Evidence One Year On)
Robert J. Barro, who is professor of economics at Harvard University and a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, writes that the stimulus may be a good deal in the short run — if the government spends on things that are truly worthwhile. As we've seen, that is not always the case.
But Barro says, correctly, that this spending, paid for with borrowed money as it is, generates debt that must be repaid at some time. This is something that government spending advocates seem to conveniently forget.
Barro comes to this conclusion:
We can now put the elements together to form a "five-year plan" from 2009 to 2013. The path of incremental government outlays over the five years in billions of dollars is +300, +300, 0, 0, 0, which adds up to +600. The path for GDP is +120, +180, +60, minus 330, minus 330, adding up to minus 300. GDP falls overall because the famous "balanced-budget multiplier" — the response of GDP when government spending and taxes rise together — is negative. This result accords with the familiar pattern whereby countries with larger public sectors tend to grow slower over the long term.
The projected effect on other parts of GDP (consumer expenditure, private investment, net exports) is minus 180, minus 120, +60, minus 330, minus 330, which adds up to minus 900. Thus, viewed over five years, the fiscal stimulus package is a way to get an extra $600 billion of public spending at the cost of $900 billion in private expenditure. This is a bad deal.
The fiscal stimulus package of 2009 was a mistake. It follows that an additional stimulus package in 2010 would be another mistake.

The alleged "stimulus" is a fiasco. The "stimulus," or should I say "porkulus" did not help the economy.
The porkulus bill was supposed to keep unemployment from exceeding 8%. Today it is about 25% higher than that at 10 percent. If you use a broader definition of unemployment, the figure is a lot higher.

Q: ListView sections with Javascript array model I want to create ListView sections with a property inside a javascript array model, but for some reason, it's not working, the section is not being displayed.
I could use a ListModel but I need to add more properties to the model (enums, functions, etc) and I cannot do that with a ListModel.

Urban Shield underway at Alameda County Fairgrounds this weekend
PLEASANTON, Calif. (KGO) -- The Alameda County Sheriff Gregory Ahern is warning the public about the Bay Area facing the prospect of a major disaster - either natural or man-made. "It's not if, it's when," said Ahern.
Ahern points to the magnitude eight earthquake that has devastated parts of Mexico, and the three hurricanes currently lined up in the Atlantic preparing to wreak havoc.
RELATED: Urban shield protesters injured after Berkeley city council meeting
This weekend, the sheriff's office will host its annual Urban Shield event at the Alameda County Fairgrounds.
Many people think of it as a chance for SWAT teams from all over the country, and several foreign nations, to practice their tactical skills. But, Sheriff Ahern says a substantial portion each year is devoted to disaster preparedness.
Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea is a featured speaker at this year's Urban Shield. He knows firsthand the impact a huge disaster can have.
Earlier this year, a damaged spillway at the Oroville Dam forced the evacuation of 188,000 people.
RELATED: Protest held against Urban Shield in Alameda County
"Literally hundreds of first responders from all over Northern California came to our aid. And what helped is that we all had similar training because is a disaster your carefully thought out plan is the first thing that goes out the window," said Honea.
Vendors from all over the world are at this year's Urban Shield, not just selling guns and body armor, but also advanced communications devices designed to work when cell phones and radios go down. Also on display, the latest in realistic looking mannequins that first responders can practice patching up from gruesome looking injuries.
Urban Shield runs through the weekend in Alameda County.

With the constant development of the urbanization, there is more and more building waste, which not only affects the local environment but also has an great influence on the urban infrastructure construction. Therefore, building waste has been focused on by the government, developers, citizens, and so on. Most of the engineering machinery manufacturers are trying to turn it into treasure.
With several years' experience in research and development and production, devoting to deal with clients' any tough problems, through the constant investigation in the market, we, Hongxing Heavy Machinery, have developed the mobile crushing stations with near 10 functions, which can help you deal with the building waste problem easily.
There are many types of mobile crushing stations, including the mobile impact crusher, mobile jaw crusher, mobile vibrating screen, mobile sand maker and vibrating screen, crawler mobile crusher, etc.
It can totally finish the primary, secondary, fine crushing and screening of building material. A mobile crusher is just a complete production line. The machines on the mobile crusher can be adjusted and combined according to clients' actual needs. Besides, it has extremely high productivity.
However the mobile crusher's type or property changes, we insists on its features, such as simple structure, convenient maintenance, firm machine body, flexible operation, etc.

Following a long term decline of southern Africa´s bearded vultures - the number of occupied breeding territories decreased between 32% and 51% over the past five decades – southern Africa conservationists decided last year to start a programme of captive breeding, to safeguard the future of this isolated population, that now numbers no more than 400 individuals.
As there was only one southern Africa bearded vulture in captivity, and the subspecies is different from Europe, the build-up of a captive nucleus has to be based on eggs collected from the wild – second eggs from known nests, and hand-rearing with a puppet, at least for the early stages of the programme. After exchanges with the VCF and transfer of knowledge and know-how, staff from the KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife authority, who leads the programme, the African Birds of Prey Sanctuary and the Bearded Vulture Task Force have collected two eggs from wild nests last year – the two juveniles are doing well in their new aviary with artificial cliff face.
This breeding season the project was hoping to collect four second eggs from nests in South Africa and Lesotho. The season started off well with staff spending time in the field selecting a number of active nests from which eggs could be harvested, but then the entire region received heavy snowfalls and this prevented vehicle, foot or helicopter access to all identified sites. One site that was accessed before the snow unfortunately had no eggs even though the female had been on the nest the week prior. A second site visited at the end of the incubation period already had only one healthy chick, as expected – so no eggs were in the end collected. However, the team in southern Africa has learnt a lot to prepare for next year's endeavours and they have also identified two previously unknown nest sites.
