Q: How to stop a form redirection after displaying an error message in PHP? How do I avoid a form resubmission in the following instance - My HTML file has a form which sends the data to itself to be validated. Included in the same page, before the <!DOCTYPE html> tag is a required PHP statement. This gets the contents of a file called process.php and checks the users data. If the data is incorrect then it successfully shows an error message. If the data is correct it sends an email. - This all works fine however if the user goes back 'presses the back arrow' and refreshes the page then it asks to re-send the data. How do I avoid this problem.
<?php require("inc/process.php"); end(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

 <title>Page one</title>

   <?php
    if (isset($error_msg)) {
     $show_error = "
" . $error_msg . "
";
     echo strip_tags($show_error, '
');
    }
    ?>

    <form method="post" action="index.html">
     <input name="full-name" type="text">
     <input name="email" type="email">
    </form>

A: well its best to use jquery ajax, for example:
$("#FormID").submit(function(e) {

var url = "path/to/your/script.php"; // the script where you handle the form input.

$.ajax({
       type: "POST",
       url: url,
       data: $("#FormID").serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
     })

  // when the request is succesfull
  .done(function( data ) {
    alert(data); // show response from the php script.
  })

  // when an error occurs
  .fail(function() {
    alert( "error" );
  });

e.preventDefault(); // avoid to execute the actual submit of the form. (no redirection)

});


Craftsman from Zaporozhye (Ukrainian region) has done a great job of remaking Zaporozhets Horbatiy model, giving the name for his own design - Bulldog. All changes were made by himself, and as a result we received converted 50-year-old retro-car ZAZ 965 (965A) with an new sporty interior, body kit with spoiler, new engine, wide wheels and reinforced suspension.
Instead of the older motor at the rear arrangement there was installed unit from a new model of the Ukrainian manufacturer - Tavria. Simple hand-built ZAZ engine tuning with the installation of large pistons, shorter rods and lightweight crankshaft allowed to reach about 115 hp at 1.4 liters volume. There were made changes to input and output also. Old motor was still on the air cooling, and its power (less than 30 hp) wouldn't be enough, so the engine replacement was necessary, and the radiator is installed in front.
The total ZAZ 965 tuning touched car's appearance. All aerodynamic body kit made of fiberglass, plastic and metal frame. Door handles of Zaporozets fully removed. OZ wheels fitted with tires GoodYear 205/55 R16. Inside, the tuner assembled a new control panel and replaced the old seats with sports ones. Suspension of Zaporozhets was a little bit improved, since the old one could not withstand the increased power of four times more powerful motor. The brake system is replaced entirely by the disk-brakes from the Opel Ascona.

The Arizona Museum of Natural History (originally the Mesa Southwest Museum) is the only natural history museum in the greater Phoenix area and is located in Mesa, Arizona. It exhibits the natural and cultural history of the Southwestern United States.

History
The Mesa Southwest Museum was founded as a small museum in Mesa City Hall in 1977 with a small collection of Arizona artifacts, in a building designed by Lescher & Mahoney and built in 1937 with WPA funds, that originally housed Mesa City Hall, municipal courts, city library, police and fire departments. There were expansions to the building in 1983 and 1987, and in 2000 a new wing was added.  The main museum complex is currently about , of which about  are dedicated to exhibitions containing a collection of about 60,000 objects of natural history, anthropology, history & art, with approximately 10,000 historic photographs. A research facility was also added in 1995. Additionally, the museum has prominent research curators in the fields of paleontology and archeology/anthropology.

The museum was renamed to the Arizona Museum of Natural History in 2007. Recent annual attendance is about 139,998.

Exhibitions
The Museum has a three-story indoor waterfall on Dinosaur Mountain, which features animatronic dinosaurs and a flash flood display that runs every 30 minutes. Other exhibitions include Dinosaur Hall, a real territorial jail, and a recreation of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine. The Southwest Gallery consists of a native peoples' gallery, with exhibits about Paleoindian big game hunters and gatherers, the first inhabitants of North America, and the Desert Cultures that developed later. It also holds a recreation of a Hohokam village, with pithouses and above-ground structures, outfitted with real artifacts as they might have been from about A.D. 600–1450. Another exhibit is the Ancient Cultures of Mexico. The Origins gallery  is designed as a voyage through the timeline of the cosmos and discusses major events in the history of planet Earth.

Among the exhibitions is a hands-on Exploration Station and the Paleo Dig Pit.

Three changing exhibition galleries offer a variety of subjects. The evolution of flight—was it from the ground-up or from the tree down?  AzMNH's exhibition, "Rulers of the Prehistoric Skies," helped to answer that question. The exhibit has since been removed, but the pterosaurs are still visible throughout the museum.

At no other time in the history of life on Earth were there animals like the pterosaurs, those flying creatures who truly did rule the sky. They were the first vertebrates to achieve flight, and they did it in a way that was all their own. In addition to very distinctly shaped, thin, hollow bones, pterosaurs had membranous wings which were probably flexible and able to change shape during flight.  The actual mechanical details are not completely understood by paleontologists, thus giving rise to multiple opinions.

The main goal of the exhibit was to have visitors understand the amazing diversity among Pterosaurs. Exhibit volunteers helped to achieve this goal by building everything from "rock blocks" and puzzles, to actual models of the fliers themselves. Don Puffer created a 4-foot mechanical Dsungaripterous pterosaur also known as "Clam Digger" that demonstrated the opening and closing of its wings. Ed Mack's sculpture Pteranodon sternbergi is a stunning life-size model that should amaze the museum audience and now hangs over Dinosaur Mountain.

"Rulers of the Prehistoric Skies" was part of a Mesa Arts and Culture First Flight initiative and focused on flying reptiles; however the exhibit also explored the evolution of flight from insects, the true first flyers, to birds and bats.

The "Rulers of the Prehistoric Skies" exhibit opened on February 4, 2012, and ran for approximately four years due to its popularity.

Another of the changing exhibits was "The Primal Desert Next Door: Land of Black Volcanoes and White Sands," which opened February 26, 2011 and closed in January 2013. Much of the Sonoran Desert lies south of the Arizona border in Mexico. This vast expanse and its diverse wildlife is the focus of this exhibition, which included wall murals depicting the vast contrasting dark "moon-scape" volcanic fields and bright seas of sand dunes. Visitors were able to learn about the geology, flora, and fauna of this region though photographs and interactive components. The exhibition was based on the book Land of Black Volcanoes and White Sands, The Pinacate and Gran Desierto De Altar Biosphere Reserve, by Larry Marshall and Clark Blake.  Interactive features included a dune machine, which replicated the phenomena of sand dunes, a hands-on basin and range topography display, and a mock lava tube, which children could climb through. This exhibition has since been replaced. For all current and future exhibitions, please visit http://www.azmnh.org

AzMNH exhibitions are made possible, in large part, by private donations to the Arizona Museum of Natural History Foundation, the Museum's 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Additionally, the museum maintains the Sirrine House, a Queen Anne style home built in Mesa in 1896. The museum claims that the home is the only fully restored Victorian-era home museum.  The Sirrine House is currently  open only for special events.

Paleontology
The Paleontology Section, which is the study of past life, is the primary emphasis of the Natural History Section of the Arizona Museum of Natural History. The Natural History Section explores, excavates, records, prepares, conserves, and researches the fossil resources in the collection at AzMNH. In addition to working with state, university, and municipal agencies, AzMNH is an official repository for specimens collected from State, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Forest, and Fish and Wildlife lands throughout Arizona.

The Dinosaur Hall features an unnamed coelurosaur nicknamed the "Zuni coelurosaur", a Tarbosaurus skeleton and a Tyrannosaurus rex skull. Also they feature a Gastornis. As sauropods they have a Camarasaurus skeleton and an Apatosaurus femur. As ceratopsians they have a Psittacosaurus skeleton, a Zuniceratops, Protoceratops, Pentaceratops and Triceratops and as iguanodonts they consist solely on a Probactrosaurus.

Archeology/Anthropology
The Anthropology Section of the Arizona Museum of Natural History conducts research and develops exhibitions on Native American cultures and the archaeology of southern Arizona. Archaeology has been a major focus of the museum since its inception in 1977. The museum sponsors ongoing excavation at the Mesa Grande Ruin, a large mound in Mesa dating from the Hohokam Classic Period. This is one of the most important tasks of the anthropology department. The opening of Mesa Grande as a heritage site dedicated to public education concerning the Hohokam and O'odham people remains a central goal of the museum.

This Sunday's round of political talk shows left a few misimpressions, among them the notion that nothing like the BP blowout had happened before. We clear up the confusion.
Barbour on Blowouts
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour told "Fox News Sunday" viewers that the BP oil spill is the first time that "anything like this" has happened. Actually, a similar offshore blowout occurred in 1979, gushing thousands of barrels of crude oil per day into the Gulf of Mexico,
Did someone in the White House commit a federal misdemeanor by getting involved in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary? A leading Republican House member says yes, but he's contradicted by a former U.S. attorney general from the Bush administration.
That's our first subject in this holiday-delayed issue of "Sunday Replay," where we regularly dissect factual claims made on weekend public affairs shows. We also fact-checked a few statements about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Immigration and the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico crowded out most other subjects on the May 2 Sunday talk shows, and we found trampled facts in both areas.
Immigration Face-Off on 'Face the Nation'
Arizona's tough new immigration law sparked a heated exchange between Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Illinois and former Rep. J.D. Hayworth on CBS' "Face the Nation." Hayworth, who is hoping to defeat Sen. John McCain in Arizona's GOP Senate primary,
We found a few claims worthy of comment on the Sunday political talk shows.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama said that President Obama was being "misleading" when he boasted about General Motors and Chrysler repaying the government:
"Meet the Press" host David Gregory: The president was boasting yesterday that GM and Chrysler have paid off their debts, not completely, but, but, but way ahead of schedule. TARP is now $186 billion back.
During his first appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on April 18, Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts claimed that the financial regulatory bill could potentially cost insurance companies in his state 25,000 to 35,000 jobs. But the freshman senator has failed to provide any support for the claim, and we have been unable to find any elsewhere.
Brown didn't provide the source of the estimate when host Bob Schieffer inquired about it. And our calls to the senator's office haven't been returned.

DELOITTE has been hit by a record-breaking £14m fine from the Financial Reporting Council's independent tribunal for its work at MG Rover.
The previous biggest fine was £1.4m, handed out to PwC for its JP Morgan audit work in January 2012.
Deloitte is the first firm to be fined under the new sanctions guidance, which can ask tribunals to take into consideration one or various aspects of a firm – such as profitability of partners or firm, market share or revenue – when calculating fines.
The firm had lost the tribunal in July over its role in advising the owners of MG Rover. Deloitte and its corporate finance partner Maghsoud Einollahi were hauled in front of the Financial Reporting Council's independent tribunal for its role in advising the owners of MG Rover in 2000 over two transactions.
Einollahi has been excluded from the profession for three years and fined £250,000. Deloitte, which Accountancy Age understands has already made a payment towards costs, will now pay a £14m fine.
The FRC had alleged Deloitte and Einollahi failed to adequately consider the public interest and mitigate risks of conflicts when they gave their advice. They have been found to have committed misconduct in their roles by the independent tribunal.
Paul George, executive director conduct at the FRC, said: "The final report of the tribunal provides a clear analysis of the case and how it reached its conclusions. It should be essential reading for all members of the profession.
Last year the FRC said it would change the way sanctions are calculated, which removed upper limits on financial penalties.
A Deloitte spokesperson said: "We remain disappointed with the outcome of the Tribunal and disagree with its main conclusions. As a firm we take our public interest obligations seriously in everything we do. We are disappointed that the efforts we and others made did not successfully secure the long term future of the MG Rover Group.
"The quality of our work, carried out more than ten years ago, has not been criticised, but the tribunal found against us on a number of points.
The firm warned that the decision could have "negative implications" for advisers, firms, and ICAEW members in business.
BMW sold MG Rover Group in May 2000 to Techtronic for £10, with BMW also providing a £427m dowry, essentially a long-term interest-free loan, to Techtronic and paying £75m in lieu of providing warranties to the business. The Phoenix Four – John Towers, Nick Stephenson, John Edwards and Peter Beale – each owned and invested £60,000 in Techtronic.
The four made statements that their stewardship of the group would be for the public good. Phoenix Venture Holdings, the consortium formed by the four businessmen, later acquired all the shares of Techtronic which ultimately became the parent company of MG Rover Group.
MG Rover Group entered administration on 8 April 2005 with estimated losses of nearly £1bn and about 6,500 staff redundancies, however, during the start of the tribunal the FRC claimed this figure could be higher.
A copy of the tribunal report from the FRC can be found here.

Barstow readies for construction of First Avenue Bridge
City of Barstow officials announced the groundbreaking next month of a temporary bridge next to the historic First Avenue Bridge.
The San Bernardino County Transit Authority announced that the North First Avenue Bridge over BNSF Railroad project will begin the first week of January. A groundbreaking ceremony for the project is scheduled at 10 a.m. on Jan. 26 at the historic Harvey House, which is located near the bridge.
The SBCTA and City of Barstow, in partnership with Caltrans District 8, will begin construction, with initial work that includes installing construction area signs, and clearing and grubbing the project corridor at the existing bridge and along First Avenue.
Construction will occur for approximately 18 months with work primarily scheduled from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The project's interactive Google Map will include closures and detours in real-time and can be downloaded or bookmarked by visiting goSBCTA.com/NorthFirstAvenueBridge.
As construction of the permanent bridge takes place, a temporary bridge will be built parallel to the existing bridge, with the goal of not impacting traffic, the city stated.
Built with local, state, and federal funding, including SBC Measure I funds, the half-cent sales tax collected through SBC for transportation improvements, and Federal Highway Bridge Program funds, the project will include construction of new access roadways to the bridge, a new two-lane bridge, and the demolition of the old bridge once the new bridge is open to traffic.
New bridge
City of Barstow Engineering Services Administrator Domingo Gonzales said the new bridge would be modern and constructed with concrete, city officials said.
It will have a wider sidewalk on one side for a pedestrian walkway, 8-foot shoulders for bicyclists, and a lookout point to view the railroad.
The bridge will be approximately 1,179 feet long, with a width of 50 feet, which will expand to over 62 feet to accommodate a left turn lane that extends onto the bridge structure.
The bridge aesthetics will mimic the historic Harvey House with its antique lighting and architecture.
Groundbreaking of the bridge comes on the heels of the BNSF Railway's announcement to develop the largest railway hub in the western U.S. in Barstow.
Built in 1930 and modified in 1943, the North First Avenue two-lane steel and wooden bridge has served as a thoroughfare for several decades.
It was deemed a focal point of the railroad industry but no longer meets the structural and functional standards needed as the city undergoes a major railway industry transformation.
The city shuttered the bridge twice this year: From Jan. 12 to Feb. 4 after a head-on car crash damaged the structure, then again from Feb. 19 to March 16 after city officials said a single-car crash caused more damage and declared an emergency to fast-track repairs.
The bridge was declared structurally deficient and functionally obsolete years ago, and a worst-case scenario of First Street Bridge collapsing would endanger people and disrupt a significant railroad hub to unknowable degrees.
Railway hub
"As we gear up for the major BNSF Railway project, which will double our city's population, this bridge replacement marks the beginning of the transformational change to our community," said Barstow City Manager Willie Hopkins. "The bridge has served as the main thoroughfare for schools, hospitals, and other services, and the new one will be a mark of improved goods movement as we embark on enhancing our city's infrastructure."
BNSF Railway aims to invest more than $1.5 billion in a new Barstow facility that expands its role as an economic anchor in the High Desert and transforms the way global cargo moves across the U.S. from Southern California ports.
The private-railroad giant owned by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced its plans for a "Barstow International Gateway" driven by "clean-energy powered cargo-handling equipment" at an all-day event in October that celebrated Barstow's 75th year as an incorporated city.
BNSF said the project will span about 4,500 acres on the west side of Barstow with a new "rail yard, intermodal facility and warehouses for transloading freight from international containers to domestic containers," according to a company statement.
The company also predicts that this project will create 20,000 "direct and indirect jobs," though it's unclear how many will be in Barstow versus those at the two cargo-receiving hubs connected to the site, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
In a statement, BNSF president and CEO Katie Farmer said, "The Barstow International Gateway will maximize rail and distribution efficiency regionally and across the U.S. supply chain and reduce truck traffic and freeway congestion in the Los Angeles Basin and the Inland Empire.
The current system of moving international cargo from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach centers on trucks hauling 40-foot shipping containers to warehouses in either Los Angeles or the Inland Empire, according to BNSF's website.
The goods in those containers are sorted and reloaded onto 53-foot containers, then trucked to a Los Angeles railyard to be transferred by train or driven by truck across the country.
This process creates inefficiencies and unnecessary truck trips within the Los Angeles Basin and Inland Empire," the website states.
The plan is for the Barstow International Gateway to change this by allowing cargo to be transferred from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach directly to Barstow via rail through the Alameda Corridor.
A rail facility would transport these containers to Barstow, where they would be moved onto trains across the U.S. The new intermodal facility would transfer containers between rail and "transload warehouses" using electric yard trucks.
The purpose of the transload warehouses would be for "repackaging and processing goods arriving at the Intermodal Facility from international containers into domestic containers," BNSF states on its website.
Three bridges slated for renovation
The new bridge is the first replacement in three bridges slated for renovation. The following two are over the Mojave River and the river's overflow area. Construction of those will start in two to three years.
Hopkins said the bridges are one of several infrastructure changes that will take place in the city before BNSF breaks ground on its massive railway project, which was announced in October.
"A lot of positive changes are in the works for Barstow, and we are excited to see it all come to fruition over the next several years," Hopkins said.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (Oct. 2, 2014) -- Although the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2016, its legacy lives on, and so does one of its anchors. Huntington Ingalls Industries' (NYSE:HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division recently installed one of Enterprise's anchors on younger carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72).
USS Enterprise, originally built by Newport News in the 1960s and refueled for the third and final time in the early '90s, is currently docked at the shipyard's Pier 2 for inactivation. After more than 50 years of service, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is being put to rest before final disposal.
In a dry dock a few hundred yards from Enterprise, USS Abraham Lincoln, less than half the age of Enterprise, is undergoing its refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH). During this multi-year process, every inch of the carrier is updated or refurbished, including its two massive anchors.
During the overhaul process, Newport News shipbuilders' inspections found that one of the Lincoln's anchors needed to be replaced, so shipbuilders swapped out the old anchor for one of Enterprise's. The anchor, cast in 1962 and weighing in at 30 tons, is an exact twin of Lincoln's other, and much younger, anchor. With two working anchors, the sailors aboard Lincoln will be able to test the carrier's anchor-lift system during sea trials, scheduled for 2016.
USS Abraham Lincoln arrived at Newport News in March 2013 to begin the RCOH process. During the carrier's RCOH, the shipyard refuels the ship's reactors, paints the ship's hull, modernizes systems and performs a complete recapitalization of the entire ship. The process produces a recapitalized carrier capable of supporting current and future warfare doctrine. Once the RCOH is complete, USS Abraham Lincoln will continue to operate in the U.S. Navy fleet for another 25 years. Lincoln's RCOH is 45 percent complete and on track for delivery in October 2016.

Chart-topping nineties boyband Boyzone is embarking on a farewell tour around the UK next year.
After 25 years, six UK number one singles and five number one UK albums, the band will release their final album 'Thank You & Goodnight' on November 16.
And on the farewell tour, Boyzone will play at The Brighton Centre on February 5, 2019.
Band members Ronan, Keith, Mikey and Shane said: "When we started out as five young Dublin Northsiders, eager to face the world, we never imagined that we'd still have an army of fans some twenty-five years later... If you'd seen our famous first TV appearance on The Late Late Show, you'd probably be surprised too!
"But what followed was the stuff of dreams. We've played stadiums and arenas all over the world, released six albums, and had almost two-dozen hits. We really can't put into words just how much you, the fans, have supported us along the way. Without that support, we would have never achieved what we have, and for that we're eternally grateful.
"We've had some tough times too. The loss of Stephen left scars that we will carry as a band forever. We were immensely touched by all the tributes and messages of support that helped us through the dark days. Stephen was our brother and will always be at the very the heart of Boyzone.
"This November we will be releasing our final album, 'Thank You & Goodnight'. We've recorded twelve brand new tracks that we hope you'll enjoy listening to as much as we've enjoyed making them.
"We're especially excited to share a very special tribute to Stephen in the shape of a new song, 'I Can Dream.' We came across a demo that he originally recorded for his solo album in 2002 and we've had the opportunity to re-work the song and add our harmonies alongside his lead vocal. It was a bittersweet experience to hear all our voices together again. It's the closest the five of us will ever get to being in a room together again making music.
"And we're also eager to invite you all to one final celebration of twenty-five years of Boyzone and our journey together. We would love for you to raise the roof one last time as we head out on our farewell UK and Ireland arena tour.
The final album will see Boyzone collaborating with Ed Sheeran ('Because') and Gary Barlow ('Love'). Producers on the album include Xenomania's Toby Scott, John Shanks (Take That, Westlife), young Swedish hitmakers Goldfingers and Steve Soloman (James Arthur, Jason Mraz).
Tickets for the farewell tour are priced from £42.50 and go on sale on Friday (June 22) at 9am.

Women in the Public service in Bougainville: Experiences and Perspectives
Spark, C 2017, Women in the Public service in Bougainville: Experiences and Perspectives, International Women's Development Agency, Melbourne, Australia
Title of report
Spark, C
International Women's Development Agency
Government and Politics of Asia and the Pacific
Gender Specific Studies
The findings show that in the Bougainville public service there is a lack of knowledge about and commitment to gender equity and a tendency to assume that women are not as suited to paid work as men. Women placed a strong emphasis on the need for further training and education to progress their careers but reported that a lack of resources and discrimination meant this was rarely forthcoming. There was a general lack of clarity about discrimination and harassment, including in relation to whether or not there were policies and procedures to address these experiences in the workplace. The analysis of the formal policies for supporting gender equity reveals considerable emphasis on addressing the formal ways in which women experience gender inequality, and little to no emphasis on the informal ways in which women experience gender inequality. The risk of such a heavy emphasis on the formal over the informal is that a range of formal documents get written and enabling structures are developed, but these structures make little to no difference to behaviour change. Meanwhile, the informal ways in which women experience gender inequality are so resilient and pervasive that existing power structures are able to continue in the face of what appear to be enabling formal policy environments.

As we venture into the month of May and prep for all of the Cinco de Mayo celebrations around town sure to feature Latin-inspired dishes, as well as the undeniable increase in temperature, it's time to celebrate. We can't think of a better way than with an exhilarating chilled serving of ceviche. The beauty of ceviche is that the base ingredients (citrus juices) "cook" the fish through acid and a little bit of science. This makes it a quick dish to prepare and a light and refreshing treat to eat. Here in the Valley, you can find so many variations, from traditional to extremely unique and modern. With so many interpretations, why settle on just one version? Check out our recommendations to see what your ceviche style is!
Cantina Laredo offers guest the opportunity to experience the traditional flavors of Mexican cuisine with a modern twist here and there. They offer a wide variety of dishes to choose from with gluten-free and vegetarian options popping up frequently on the menu. Their ceviche features Chilean sea bass marinated in lime juice. This dish boasts an extra kick and layer of heat with the addition of both poblano and jalapeno peppers, along with the traditional tomato and cilantro. That extra layer of heat cuts into the buttery fish just enough to add more flavor with a slight burn. The ample portion is then topped with generous avocado providing an additional layer of texture. The rich, tender profile of the sea bass is the perfect complement to the bite of the citrus and the pop of heat from the peppers.
Diego Pops is all about individualistic Mexican food; their unique menu celebrates the flavors of Mexico while putting a fun spin on your tried and true favorites. Their coconut lemongrass ceviche is a clever combination of the anticipated shrimp, cucumber, tomato, red onion, cilantro and Fresno chili. The addition of lemongrass provides that citrus flavor that you've come to expect while the coconut provides an additional layer of flavor and slight sweetness. The creamy texture with the biting crunch of the red onion and clean flavors of cucumber provide a light and distinctly new flavor of this clever concoction.
We love how Hula's represents a simpler and classier time in our history and how they have crafted their menu, food and beverage alike, to reflect the classic flavors of the 50's and 60's with modern elevations here and there. The fusion of Polynesian and American flavors is unique and beloved by patrons. Their Hawaiian ceviche takes on a new flavor with the incorporation of coconut milk, adding a touch of sweetness to the fresh white fish, citrus juices, chili, cilantro, and garlic. The end result is a sturdier ceviche than you might find at other spots, with the majority of the juices being absorbed into the white fish. The special won ton chips served alongside your ceviche provide an additional texture contrast, making this a dish you won't soon forget.
Salt & Lime is an easy hot spot for refreshing margaritas and killer happy hour deals, but one glance at their modern interpretations on Mexican classics will keep you coming back for more. You'll find a healthy mix of classic dishes, new interpretations and a merging of the two creating a menu that is approachable for any diner. Their ceviche is representative of their individualistic take on the cuisine. While most ceviche's focus only on one protein, the dish here is a succession of shrimp, scallops and snapper amping up the flavor in just the base of the dish. Add in the requisite cucumber, poblano peppers, onions, tomato, avocado, cilantro and lime and you'll find that the slightly sweet and briny flavors of the proteins marry perfectly with the base marinade.
SumoMaya somehow seamlessly melds Mexican and Asian cuisines into something that just makes sense. These distinctly different flavor combinations easily create new bold favorites that you will be craving for days to come. If you are seeking out some serious ceviche diversity, you'll be pleased to find that they have six different amalgamations here. You can go traditional-ish with their Mexican shrimp cocktail with a base of citrus and tomato broth. If you're looking for something a little different you can try their hamachi tiradito which unites the flavors of yuzu, truffle oil, green apple, micro shiso, and ikura. The sourness of the yuzu and apple parlay into the heady flavor of the truffle creating a very special dish. There is no room for boredom with the choices here.

Joe Treasure
Besotted
The Book of Air
The Male Gaze received rave reviews on Simon Mayo's Book Club, where it was selected as Book of the Month. The panel (Alex Heminsley, Boyd Hilton and Joel Morris) were unanimous in their praise, describing it as 'an incredibly confident novel', 'powerful', 'beautifully done', 'assured', 'confident' and 'extremely clever'.
Singled out for particular praise were the book's evocation of LA and its sharp and sensitive observation of a marriage.
Listeners agreed. 'Like all satisfying reads, there is resolution in its final pages. I needed no coaxing to get there.'
Available from amazon.co.uk
Its strength lies in the acutely realised and believable relationship between David and Rebecca…
Catherine Taylor in The Guardian
This debut novel by Joe Treasure is an astonishingly accomplished and assured effort. With the verve of a seasoned author he sweeps into the story of David and Rebecca, transplanted from England to the surreal parallel universe that is Los Angeles. While Rebecca pursues her academic career under the auspices of the irritatingly sophisticated Frankie and Max, David tries in vain to write a text book explaining Islam for students. At a stylish and vacuous cocktail party in the Hollywood hills a child almost drowns and David meets Astrid whose coterie of wacky and damaged friends lead him to challenge everything he believed to be true. When Astrid's doe-eyed young friend commits suicide, a trail of video evidence leads him through a bizarre series of events culminating in a shocking act of police brutality. This is an intelligent and stylistically polished novel. A dazzling debut.
Mairead Byrne in The Irish Independent
Treasure's narrator is an academic Englishman recently arrived in LA, and this is a book sharply enlivened by a comic sense of the cultural gulf he has spanned by crossing the Atlantic. For here is American excess writ large: from would-be actresses waiting at every table upon aspiring screenwriters to all the cheap New Age mental tat of a city actually grid-locked by gas-guzzling traffic. And yet the book rapidly morphs into something altogether darker and more compelling. After getting singled out by an alluring redhead at a party and witnessing a suicide in her company, David Parker is set on a trail which takes him to sinister places. Enabled by intelligently witty dialogue and memorably observed detail, the narrative reflects resonantly upon the uses and abuses of post-modern media and the difficulty of remaining emotionally centred amidst its chaos.
Publishing News, in a feature on eight notable debuts of 2007
Joe Treasure is clearly a great believer in the power of the opening sentence: "What wakes me is the scream"… it would be a hard-hearted reader who'd put the book down again at this point. Actually, by page two, we've discovered that it's merely some lotion being spilt down a nice skirt, but you still won't be putting the book down. By then, you'll have discovered that David, a blocked writer, has followed his wife Rebecca, an academic, to LA. The opening chapters bounce with great Englishman-abroad stuff, astute one-liners (a newsreader's announcement of a "heightened terror alert" is "the psychic equivalent of a pollen count") and kooky characters. There's the near-drowning of a minor at a poolside party, the domestic fallout from which is more important than the outcome for the small boy in question. In chapter three, there's an actual drowning… But the fallout from this one, though it begins at home, escalates into a dénouement that takes in the war on terror, Islamophobia, pornography, infidelity – you name it, it's in there. There's even a cameo appearance by a character bearing a remarkable similarity to Christopher Hitchens…
Nicola Smyth in the The Independent on Sunday
Funny in a wry, grim way redolent of Graham Greene, Treasure is a clever manipulator of his reader, allowing our expectations to lead us down one road, before he grabs our hands and plunges down another. At the same time I found his limpid, understated prose absorbing to the point that I could easily forget I was reading a novel. Treasure indeed.
Simon Heafield in The Book Magazine
The novel's greatest success is its portrait of [this] relationship… Although the two spend little time alone together, the strain on their marriage is palpable, and their love – hers solid but exasperated, his adoring and unconditional – is moving. Group dynamics are also well done, in cocktail banter and the inane jargon of the New Agers… Joe Treasure takes an intelligent, nuanced and sympathetic look at the complex and rewarding process of crossing the boundary between looking on and taking part in a new life.
Nora Mahony in the Times Literary Supplement
I loved [The Male Gaze]… It takes a lot of nerve to write a novel about suicide bombers, police brutality, clashes of civilisations… and even more nerve to nest all of those interests within the domestic context of a marriage… It's a sad, funny, wistful, angry book.
Robert Macfarlane
The Male Gaze is Joe Treasure's scorching debut. A Londoner arriving in LA finds himself embroiled with a girl's suicide on a beach in Malibu. It's dark and sad, but equally smart and funny.
Treasure writes with a relaxed yet firm grip on the wheel of narrative…his dialogue is smart and funny, and he has a unique, persuasive voice. His is a name to watch.
Who are you looking at? Ambitious, zeitgeisty, fast-paced story of Brits adrift in LaLa land is a confident debut.

Centrifugal filters with maximum capacities from 720 up to 3600 litres/hr.
Fuel filters separate moisture and dirt from the fuel, after which the clean fuel is directed to the engine. VETUS centrifugal fuel filters are based on a patented fuel flow system in which w ater and large solids are separated by means of the centrifugal seperator before the fuel flows through the filter element. Subsequently the fuel flows from the outside in through the filter element which removes suspended w ater and small particles. This reversed flow direction increases the effective filtering surface compared with conventional filters. The combination of these tw o unique techniques results in consistent filtering and a longer lifetime for the filter elements!
All VETUS centrifugal filters are CE, ABYC and Germanische Lloyd certified which makes them applicable for commercial vessels.
This modular system may be ordered in combinations of 2 to 6 filters for engines of up to 5000 hp. The fuel inlet and outlet can be configured on the same side or opposite sides, depending on the installation requirements.

Home Articles	The Holy Prophet, Good Moral, And Children
The Holy Prophet, Good Moral, And Children
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):
"انما بعثت لاتمم مکارم الاخلاق"
"I was sent only for completing the moral virtues."
In Arabic language "اِنَّما" means "this is the only"; so the sentence is interpreted that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had been sent only for completing the moral virtues. That is true that the Prophet was sent for some other reasons too, but those reasons all were in the direction of moral virtues which was the most principal reason. Removing racial discrimination, establishing brotherhood and equality, and other issues like these are in the direction of completing the moral virtues which were propounded by the Prophet.
We should be careful that good ethical behaviors are different from moral virtues. Good ethical behaviors are relative, i.e. something between good and better. But moral virtues are the base of ethical behaviors. The Prophet had admirable human ethics in a superior level. What about us? How much do we concern about ethics? It is our duty to think about ethical behavior and act to them completely, because it was the Prophet's purpose.
One of moral virtues, for example, is beneficent. Beneficent and generous persons are those who do kindness to people. In principle, generous person is referred to one who you ask him/her to give you something and he/she response your demand. But beneficent person is one who gives you what you want or need while you have not asked him or her for it.
One of other moral virtues is "Movasat". What dose Movasat means (in Arabic language)? Suppose that I have something that someone else has not, If I give him/her something which is mine, It's named "sacrifice". But I have something that someone else has not, and because of physical distance or interval in time I cannot give him/her what I have; so I forbear to have that thing. This is called "Movasat". There was an instance of Movasat at Ashura. Imam Hussain (PBUH) told his brother, Abbas (PBUH), to bring some water from the Euphrates for thirsty children. He went toward the river and achieved water but He did not drink water although he himself was thirsty too much. He had something that the other members of his family did not have; so he forbore to drink water. This is called "Movasat" which is more valuable than sacrifice.
some cases of moral virtues which are expressed by Imams are consist of chastity, competent, patient, praise, modesty, generosity, courage, fervor, veracity, charity, payment of debt, certitude, good-tempered, chivalry, And they said if you don't have these characters try to imitate them. Even, they said, ask Allah to help you to achieve these characters by mourning.
Once someone asked Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) what is the religion?
Prophet replied: "Having good-tempered." He repeated his question several times and each time he got the same answer: "Good-tempered." At the end he stood behind the Prophet and asked again: "O Prophet, what is the religion?" The Prophet turned to him smilingly and said: "Don't you understand the religion is that you should not become angry and you should not be angry with other people?"
One day Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked someone: "Why don't you benefit to people?" He answered that he hadn't money to pay them. Prophet said: "Smile at them. At least, you can offer them your smile."
The Prophet (PBUH) was always trying to encourage people even in hardship. He was always seen smilingly and he was warning Satan wants to spoil good-tempered among believers. Islam emphasizes on good-tempered very much; so that in some cases it is ordered to behave toward animal in a good manner (refer to article section, animal rights) let alone about human.
There is an interesting story about the Prophet (PBUH). There was a Jewish guy in prophet neighborhood. Whenever the Prophet passed by his house he shed some ashes on head and clothes of the Prophet to bother him. Even though washing clothes wasn't as easy as today, he always passed without saying a swear word and washed his clothes later. Once the Prophet noticed there were not the man and his ashes anymore. He asked about him and found out he was ill and resting in his house. The Prophet got upset, so, He went to the man's house to visit him. That was then; the man felt regret because of his behavior, afterward, he became Muslim only for the Prophet kindness.
Proud and hypocrisy are the result of bad-tempered which lead to destruction of human. But moral virtues purify human spirit. When you have pure spirit you will enjoy praying; so you will have the best relationship with Allah and other human beings.
The Prophet (PBUH) said when a man sits next to his wife, he should take her hand and treats her kindly, and then; Allah rewards him more than when he says pray in the Prophet Mosque in Medina. Islam intensively orders Muslims to express their love toward their spouse; since it prevents many divorces which as a result lead to a healthy society.
One of Prophet's behaviors was being kind to children; so that when he returned back to city, the children were the first who welcomed to Prophet. Then the Prophet kissed and hugged them and ordered his companions to do that. He was sitting when he saw a child, in order to be as tall as the child, and then was kissing him, fondled the child and talked to him. He always carried some refreshments; whenever he saw a child, he gave him some refreshments. The Prophet always said hello to children first. He said: "saying hello to children is one of those things which I never give up until the death time." He recommended to talk to children as the same as themselves, and play with them; so in this way you can grow up your children properly.
Once, Imam Hassan (PBUH) and Imam Hussain (PBUH) entered the mosque when they were children. The Prophet was saying the prayer Salah (نماز) and he was in prostration position. Then, they went up his back and started to play. The Prophet lengthened his prostration until they themselves came down. There is another narrative too. Once, in a congregation pray, the Prophet said the third and fourth section of pray faster than usual, after finishing, the prayers asked for the reason. The Prophet said: "Didn't you hear a baby was crying? There was a baby among the women who was crying. I finished the prayer faster in order to caring the baby by the mother."
Ethics always have been the purpose of the Prophet Mission. Religion and Ethics are nothing but what the Prophet and Imams have said. Worldly positions, titles, material, and claims would not show ethics. What shows ethics is the performance which each person does, weather virtues or vice. If someone does virtues, he or she is in the straight path and If not, they are in Satan path.

"No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself ''there is no point for carrying on'', no matter how many people tell you that you can't do it- Keep going, Don't quit."
I have started this post from a definition of KEEP GOING expression for a reason ... over the last 9 moths that is exactly how I was feeling. Many time I had taught to give up, stop what i was doing and relax a bit... but i have decided to fight and keep going. I have prioritised all my tasks and responsibilities and unfortunately again blog suffered the most.
At this stage I'm proud to announce I have successfully completed my masters degree in VLSI systems :) From now I hope to dedicate myself much more into photography and keep the blog up to date.
Im proud to announce I have got married in May with the most wonderful women on earth :) Pictures from wedding day and honeymoon in Disneyland to follow up in near future.
And she was not joking .... we are expecting baby :) Happy days.
Finally well deserved holidays. More pictures to follow.

    flowFile.'ExtractFileId' = result[0][0]
    REL_SUCCESS << flowFile
} catch (Exception e) {
    throw e;
} finally {
    clientDb.close();
}

I added clientDb.close() as @daggett said in comments.

A compelling, terrifying story of a devastating virus. Have you ever imagined what it would be like to kill someone, or wondered, in your darkest secret thoughts, about the taste of human flesh? What if you woke up and began your morning by devoting the rest of your life to a murderous rampage, a never-ending cannibalistic spree? And what if you were one of thousands who shared the same compulsion? This book depicts just such as an epidemic. You catch it through conversation and it leads you into another world where the undead chase you down the streets.

Here are the answers from blogger Lee Harris
1/ What first got you into SF?
Absolutely no idea. It would have been over 30 years ago, and as I barely remember to buy the right kind of bread when I go to the supermarket (and boy! does my wife continually give me grief over that!) so any answer I give here will probably be incorrect. Earliest genre memories are "Doctor Who" and "H.R. Pufnstuf" on TV, and "Puff The Magic Dragon" and "Monster Mash" on the radio.
2/ Who was your first geek crush?
Okay, this is "geek crush" rather than "SF crush", so I'm going to choose the presenter of a tea-time gameshow. It was in the '80s and I can't remember her name (though it wasn't Bob Holness). The gaming board consisted of a grid, and the contestant had to answer questions whilst travelling around the board. It might not have been a grid, actually - it might have been a circle. One of the two, anyway. If I have to choose "SF crush", though, it would be Patsy Kensit in "Luna".
3/ If you were a spaceship from a TV show or movie, which would you be (and why)?
Serenity. I'm passed my prime, a bit battered up, but you can't help loving me!
4/ If SFX were to run a convention, which guest would you most like to meet there?
Angelina Jolie, following a break-up with Brad so traumatic that she can't see clearly for the tears. "There, there, Angelina, tell me all about it over a drink..."
5/ What's the most exciting thing to happen to you (SF wise) in 2009 so far?
Starting work with new genre imprint, Angry Robot right at the start of January. Best. Job. Eva!
6/ What feature would you most like us to add to this website?
Less a feature, more a tweak - the ad system makes less-than-top-range PCs crawl to a halt. Better scripting on ad rotation.
7/ What SF character has most inspired you in your life?
I don't think I've ever been particularly inspired by a fictional character. Let's say Mickey Mouse in his Fantasia days. Or perhaps Lara croft in the first movie - some of those costume changes were quite inspiring...
8/ What's always your number one book or DVD recommendation to a friend?
Difficult to pick an "always", but a "frequently" would be "The Princess Bride" on DVD and "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (Matheson) in book form.
9/ If you were the boss of SFX magazine for a day, what would be your first command?
Quick! Process an immediate bonus for all title editors today! Funds to be transferred before close of business!
10/ Who'd win in a fight, a caveman or an astronaut?
Insufficient data. Are weapons allowed? Are they the same species (if not, what are their relative characteristics?)? Is it a particularly pathetic astronaut and a particularly strong caveman? There is so little information in this question it could run for parliament!
