History of strength training
The History of Fitness
On the walls of the funerary chapel in Beni-Hassan in Egypt is a drawing. Depicted in this drawing are three figures, lifting what appears to be bags above their heads. Although no one can say with certainty that they are actually performing strength-training exercises the impression is very reminiscent of Indian club training. This drawing is 4500 years old and is thought to be the earliest record in existence of resistance exercises.
Even in Britain in 1896 B.C. there was a game called the wheel feat, which was a kind of weight throwing competition.
However strength training really developed in Greece around the sixth century B.C. to improve performance in the Olympic Game's. It is quite obvious that strength training and the muscular physique were important to the Greeks. You only have to look at their art. Strength is the predominant characteristic of nude statues found all over Greece, and non-shows this more so than the drawings and statures of Apollo and Hercules with strongly defined muscles and powerful physiques.
The Greek athletes used jumping weights called 'halteres'. They varied in size and shape and it is believed that this is where the modern dumbbell originates.
In the second century A.D. things really progressed when a celebrated Greek physician called Galen devised a systematic range of strength exercises using implements such as the halteres, along with heavy lifting and isometric exercises. The Romans also used similar training techniques but not only for the games but to promote prowess in battle. The Romans to understood the importance of strength training and its connection with health and wellbeing.
When the Roman Empire collapsed these training methods almost disappeared as Christianity grew and their philosophy of temperance spread. The body was no longer a thing to be admired and the only physical training practiced was to improve the skills for warfare. Strength training ceased to exist for almost a thousand years but the writings of the Greeks and Romans were preserved.
It wasn't until the 16th century that written references to strength training appeared once more. Sir Thomas Elyot in 1531 wrote about Galen's weight training exercises and other writer's, Joachim Camerarius and the French essayist Michel de Montaigne also wrote about the benefits of resistance training and described some of the methods employed.
In 1710 Thomas Topham was born in Islington, England and he grew to be a remarkable natural strongman. So much so that Dr John Theophilus did a scientific study of him and this became one of the first research papers on resistance training. Topham went on to perform publicly with his first strong man exhibition taking place in the Midlands market town of Derby in 1736.
In the United States in 1772, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to his son and he mentions how pleased he was that his son is exercising and how important it was to prevent disease and illness. He later wrote in 1786 how he himself had stopped drinking wine and exercised daily with dumbbells.
In Europe during the late 18th century there was much greater emphasis placed on physical education. The German teacher Johann Gutsmuth wrote The Encyclopaedia Of Bodily Exercises and he and another German, Friederich Jahn went on to invent items of fitness equipment with the latter designing the parallel bars. Jahn also sponsored physical culture festivals. At some of these festivals as many as 30,000 people would attend.
During the 19th century in Britain, Europe and the United States, weight training grew dramatically. The Triat's gym in Paris was huge and would rival any of the gyms today. In 1824 Charles Beck arrived in New York from Germany. He established the first gymnasium in the U.S. in Massachusetts. Another American exercise guru at the time was Dr George Barker Windship who was born in Massachusetts in 1834 and after receiving his M.D. from Harvard University in 1857, went on to tour America and Canada extolling the virtues of weightlifting.
By the early 20th century most strongmen were professionals. Probably the most famous was a Prussian, Frederick Muller (1867-1925) who used the stage name Eugen Sandow.
Sandow's early claim to fame was breaking the 'Test Your Strength Machines' that were so popular in Brussels, by simply overloading them. Many times the police would be called to arrest him for vandalism but when he explained that he had put his coin in them but he was just too strong for them, there was little the police could do. However it gave him the publicity that he desired. In 1889 he went to London and joined the strongman team of Samson and Cyclops were he proved to be stronger than both men. In 1893 he found himself at the Chicago World's Fair were he teamed up with the promoter Florenz Ziegfeld. He then went on to earn $1500-$3500 a week at the fair, a staggering amount of money for the time. A young man called Barnarr MacFadden saw his shows and they had a huge influence on him. MacFadden went on to publish a magazine called Physical Culture and by 1926 had a circulation of 400.000 making MacFadden a personal fortune of 30 million dollars.
As well as strongmen there was strongwomen. The most famous being a German woman called Katie Brumbach who used the stage name Sandwina. She was so strong that she could twist horse-shoes and carry a 600lb cannon on one shoulder. Many strongmen at the time would not appear with her, afraid of being shown up.
However by 1930 vaudeville had almost disappeared and with it came the end of the professional strongman.
While all this was happening on the professional entertainment front the amateur side of weightlifting had become increasingly popular. Many serious amateur lifters were furious at some of the things their professional counterparts professed they could do and wanted to disassociate themselves from what they felt were preposterous claims.
They wanted to bring in the element of competition but with regulated and fair rules and this all began in 1891 with the formation of the German Athletic Association. By 1896 three of the first four modern Olympiads included weightlifting. Also around this time in France a new lift was developed called a 'clean lift' were the weight is taken to the shoulder in one motion rather than the 'continental' lift were it is bought up in two or more movements. This lift took over from the 'continental' lift.
In 1898 the first 'World Championships" took place but although at this time it only featured British and European weightlifters.
In 1911 the British Amateur Weightlifters Association was formed but it wasn't until the 1920's that America formed The American Continental Weightlifters Association, modelled on the rules of the British Amateur Weightlifters Association. These associations were absorbed by the Amateur Athletic Union that then adopted the French rules for lifting. The main reason for this was so that the U.S could join the International Weightlifting Federation, which was formed in 1920 to promote and conduct international competition.
However there were many other facets of lifting including Powerlifting. Although the first official U.S. National Powerlifting Championships didn't take place until 1965, there are now more participants of this style of lifting than the Olympic style. This is because powerlifting requires more strength and less technique that Olympic lifting and so is easier to learn and more familiar.
Bodybuilding became another form of competition. Here the goal is to use the weights to develop the perfect looking physique, with huge muscular definition and perfect muscular proportions. This kind of competition is not new, the Greeks staged this kind of contest as part of the Panathenaean Festivals. Eugen Sandow ran physique contests in London, giving prices to the best muscular men and in 1904 the first U.S contest took place promoted by Barnarr MacFadden. But the first true bodybuilding competition took place in 1947 in Philadelphia, and was called 'Mr Universe'
In America from the 1920's, the mail order business had a huge effect on the amateur weightlifting scene. Names such as Charles Atlas and Earle E Liedermam dominated the market. Magazines influenced young men all over America the most famous being Strength and Health published by the late Bob Hoffman and Muscle and Fitness and Flex published by Joe Weider.
Joe Weider became one of the biggest names associated with weightlifting through the 1970's and onwards. Joe Weider's brother Ben formed the International Federation of Bodybuilders and between them they took people like Lou Ferrigno and Arnold Schwarzenegger to stardom.
The films of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980's and early 1990's promoted weightlifting and bodybuilding even further and they were probably the golden times for resistance training. Shows like Gladiators on British TV also had a huge impact.
However in the mid 1990's stories of steroid abuse filled the media and changed the way people viewed weight training. The spit and sawdust gyms started to fade away to be substitute by swank new health clubs designed to appeal to women as much as men. Through the 1990's they replaced the bars and clubs as the new place to meet people. Bodybuiling began to decline and fitness training took over. Fit became the new buzz- word and the weightlifting training routines adapted to meet this demand. Manufacturers of fitness equipment moved with the times. Nautilus who had invented the single station weight stack machine back in 1971 had lead the way but now faced competition from a dozen or more suppliers. Each one bringing out more stylish, user friendly, machines.
The popularity of home fitness equipment grew and as it did so the quality of home gyms improved and became smaller, to fit more easily into home environments.
Today the market is truly professional, dominated both in the U.K and America by health club chains offering high tech equipment and plush environments. In the home market it is now possible to buy health club quality fitness equipment that can be at your disposal 24 hrs a day.
Its easy to think that we are a million miles away from the Greeks of 600BC but when it comes down to it the principals are still the same. To get stronger and improve our physiques we still have to do the same thing, progressively lift weights. The difference today is that it is backed by science and packaged differently to appeal to a more sophisticated society.
The future of course is difficult to predict. The obesity epidemic, dominating most of western society is worrying. You can have the best fitness equipment and facilities in the world but if no one is prepared to use it, it all goes to waste. For people in the fitness industry this is going to be one of the main challenges but it's a challenge worth taking on. Muscle burns calories, so strength training is a vital part of weight management. What will probably happen is machines will be designed to be less intimidating and weight training programmes will be devised to meet this changing market. If this can be achieved and people begin to see the benefits then weight training will be alive and well for a long, long time to come.

Q: redirect to previous page after logging in or registering I'm new to codeigniter. I'm developing a job site.I search a job and find suitable job then when clicking the job detail then if the user is logged in then the apply now button appears but if the user is not logged in then the the login or register button appears. What I need to do is after clicking on login or register when they finish the process then they needed to redirect to the same page that they have searched. How can I do that in cdeigniter?.
my job detail page is
public function details($slug = NULL)
{
    $this->load->model('jobmodel');
    $this->load->helper('job');
    $slug = $this->uri->segment(3);
    $jobID = $this->jobs_model->getJobidFromSlug($slug);
    $userID = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
    $check = $this->jobs_model->checkAppliedJob($userID, $jobID);
    $data['check'] = $check;

    // #common head section

    $data['site_title'] = 'Job By Country | Neev ';
    $data['site_keywords'] = 'job,dubai,hr,portal';
    $data['site_description'] = 'Neev  Home, Hr Portal, Job ';
    $join = 'LEFT JOIN job_industry AS ji ON(ji.id = ejp.job_industry) LEFT JOIN job_country AS jc ON (ejp.country_id = jc.id)
                LEFT JOIN job_category AS jcat ON (ejp.job_category = jcat.id)where ejp.slug ="' . $slug . '"';
    $jobsDetails = Jobmodel::find(array(
        'select' => 'ejp.*,ji.title as industry_type,jc.title as country,jcat.title as category',
        'from' => 'employer_job_posting as ejp',
        'joins' => $join
    ));

    // echo Jobmodel::connection()->last_query;
    // die;

    $data['main_content'] = 'jobFulldetails';
    $data['jobs'] = $jobsDetails;
    $this->load->view($this->jobView, $data);
}

A: You can add this logic keep previous page browsed in a session. Once you are logged in or registered get the value of that session variable to redirect to that page. Something  Like this
header("location:$_SESSION['prev_page']");

A: This works for me
<script type="text/javascript">
         var back = document.referrer;
        window.location.replace(back);
</script>

A: Would it be possible to redirect the user back to the controller using the redirect() method that comes with CI's URL helper?
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/helpers/url_helper.html bottom of page
something like
redirect('search/foo/bar');

I use this all the time. The search controller's behavior determines how your actual redirect link would look. I use _remap() a lot in my controllers.

Bachie Contestant In Hot Water Over Racist Instagram Slur
Only one week in and already a contestant on Network Ten's The Bachelor is making headlines for a now-deleted Instagram post which used racist hashtags.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Shannon Baff (pictured below) was forced to delete a post on Instagram with hashtags which included the n-word.
Baff, who was the first contestant chosen for a single date with Bachelor Nick "Honey Badger" Cummins, has apologised "deeply" for the hashtags and said the use of the word was part of an in-joke with a friend who is a person of colour.
In a statement provided to B&T, a Ten spokesperson said: "Shannon has removed the hashtags and is deeply sorry for any offence she may have caused."
This series of the Bachie has had record ratings since its debut last Wednesday.
The strongest launch of the show in its six-year history, last Wednesday's premiere of The Bachelor Australia drawing in a metro audience of 940,000 – the largest number of viewers for a launch episode in the show's history.
If we compare it to last year's season launch with Matty Johnson, that episode garnered 846,000 viewers.

KJ Helton '16 had a career-high 15 points in the win against Radnor.
The Aces returned to their winning ways on Tuesday night with a 56-40 victory over Radnor.
LM jumped out to an early 12-4 lead and never looked back, leading by double-digits throughout and extending the margin to as many as 19 in the fourth quarter. Kyle Helton ?16 scored nine of his game-high 15 points in the final frame.
It was a team effort on both sides of the ball. Nine Aces entered the scoring column and LM locked things down defensively, holding Radnor to two single digit quarters in the first half.
While it wasn?t a perfect performance, it was a solid start to the New Year. The Aces rebounded from a tough loss at state-ranked Susquehanna on Saturday night and improved their Central League record to 5-1.
The Aces return to action Thursday night when they host Garnet Valley. Tip-off is 7:00 PM.

Modern Art and the Life of a Culture
The Religious Impulses of Modernism
Studies in Theology and the Arts
by Jonathan A. Anderson and William A. Dyrness
Arts/Creativity
Cultural Analysis
Christianity Today's 2017 Book of the Year Award of Merit - Culture and the Arts
For many Christians, engaging with modern art raises several questions: Is the Christian faith at odds with modern art? Does modernism contain religious themes? What is the place of Christian artists in the landscape of modern art?
Nearly fifty years ago, Dutch art historian and theologian Hans Rookmaaker offered his answers to these questions when he published his groundbreaking work, Modern Art and the Death of a Culture, which was characterized by both misgivings and hopefulness.
While appreciating Rookmaaker's invaluable contribution to the study of theology and the arts, this volume—coauthored by an artist and a theologian—responds to his work and offers its own answers to these questions by arguing that there were actually strong religious impulses that positively shaped modern visual art. Instead of affirming a pattern of decline and growing antipathy towards faith, the authors contend that theological engagement and inquiry can be perceived across a wide range of modern art—French, British, German, Dutch, Russian and North American—and through particular works by artists such as Gauguin, Picasso, David Jones, Caspar David Friedrich, van Gogh, Kandinsky, Warhol and many others.
This book, the first in IVP Academic's new Studies in Theology and the Arts series, brings together the disciplines of art history and theology and points to the signs of life in modern art in order to help Christians navigate these difficult waters.
"Despite his often biting criticism and emphatic rejections of modern art, those who read Hans Rookmaaker closely know that the care and attentiveness he displayed in engaging the art of his day intimated a valuation far beyond mere condemnation. The same spirit of eager and attentive hospitality can be seen in this rejoinder by Bill Dyrness and Jon Anderson. With the studied investment in their diverse subjects and the poignant reflections emerging throughout, they have demonstrated that both Rookmaaker's vocation and burden are live categories for our time. More than a response to the original, Modern Art and the Life of a Culture is an invaluable companion to Rookmaaker and essential reading for any serious Christian encounter with modern art."
Taylor Worley, associate professor of faith and culture, Trinity International University
"This is a book we have needed for a long time. The standard story of modern art, told by religious and non-religious people alike, is that it is the art of secularism and pervaded by nihilism. That was the story told by Hans Rookmaaker more than forty years ago in the book that became enormously influential among evangelicals, Modern Art and the Death of a Culture. Anderson and Dyrness tell a very different story. They show that modern art has been pervaded by religious concerns and theological issues. What they have dug up is truly amazing; the book is an eye-opener. They frame their story as a response to Rookmaaker. But the story they tell and the interpretations they offer are for everyone. Only those who refuse to read can ever again think of modern art in the old way."
Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter Professor Emeritus of Philosophical Theology, Yale University, senior research fellow, Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture, University of Virginia
"As insightful as Hans Rookmaaker's provocative book Modern Art and the Death of a Culture (1970) was in tracing with broad strokes his concern with the cultural demise of Christian values in the post-Enlightenment West, Anderson and Dyrness make probing and illuminating use of the forty-five years of subsequent research to show that the sacred and secular have been far more complexly interwoven than Rookmaaker recognized. The authors, using the same end date, open up a broad spectrum of well-researched and illuminating contextual material that serves as a needed corrective to Rookmaaker's generalized schema and models a multidisciplinary, art-historical and theological approach that is deliberately generous, open and sympathetic rather than confrontational."
E. John Walford, professor emeritus of art history, Wheaton College
"The book impressively demonstrates the potential for theology to occupy itself with the movements of modern art."
Wolfgang W. Müller, Reading Religion, October 23, 2018
"In seven chapters, artist/art critic Jonathan Anderson and noted cultural theologian William Dyrness offer a compelling counter-narrative to Hans Rookmaaker's provocative and highly influential Modern Art and the Death of a Culture. . . . This volume is indispensible not only for Christians seeking to be faithful participants in the contemporary art world (artists, curators, critics, etc.) but anyone desiring a fascinating account of the omission of religious sources feeding modern art. Indeed, by taking modern art on its own terms, the authors have demonstrated convincingly that the standard story of modern art as a purveyor of secularism is untenable, making it impossible ever to view modern art the same way."
Bob Cavolo, SEEN/CIVA, XVI:2 2016
"Just what should Christians think of modern art? Is it void of all religious impulses and persuasions? Or is there a deeper vision often left unexplored? Rather than writing off the last century and a half of visual art as purely secular, Anderson and Dyrness meticulously detail the patterns of piety and spirituality that both influenced and empowered artists like van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, and Warhol."
Wade Bearden, Christianity Today, The 2017 Book Awards
"This book signals an important mid-course correction in evangelical scholarship about modern art and it should become a staple textbook in college and seminary classes."
Gregory Wolfe, Image Journal, October 2016
"In Modern Art and the Life of a Culture, Anderson and Dyrness have combined their expertise to provide a treatment of modern art that is historically accurate, aesthetically conscientious, and theologically grounded."
Richard H. Stark III, Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies, Vol. 2, Issue 1
"In this compelling collaboration between an artist and a theologian, Jonathan A. Anderson and William A. Dyrness begin a conversation about how Christian artists, critics, enthusiasts and theologians can reclaim and rediscover modern art, identifying and celebrating its religious and spiritual impulses."
Jon J. Marlow, Transpositions, Spring 2017
"In Modern Art and the Life of a Culture (2016), Jonathan A. Anderson and William A. Dyrness also rewrite modernist history, but from a Protestant theological perspective, arguing 'that the crises and labors of modernist art were, among other things, theological crises and labors.' Dig around in art, and we find religion. Dig around in religion, and we find art."
S. Brent Plate, Los Angeles Review of Books, January 24, 2017
"While the treatment of Rookmaaker will be of particular interest to Protestant readers, the reassessment of modern arts' perceived secularity extends its relevancy across the church and into art history as well. Thus, this book is highly recommended as a valuable resource for both theology and art libraries, and as advanced reading for those engaged in similar conversations."
Ryan Stander, Horizons, June 2017
"Essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between biblical revelation and modern art."
David McKay, The Covenanter Witness, February 2018
"This book is highly recommended as a valuable resource for both theology and art libraries, and as advanced reading for those engaged in similar conversations."

Facebook…is the sky falling? Probably not
The left yet again is prematurely celebrating the demise of Facebook, similar to in 2012, in which they were wrong then and wrong now. The left wants so badly for Facebook to fail they have the invent fake news purporting of a huge Facebook backlash, when as I discussed last week such a backlash is only limited to a handful of users. But many on the 'right' want Facebook to fail too, agreeing with the 'left' that Facebook is too powerful, too big, and disregards its user's privacy. A shared dislike or suspicion of big tech companies like Google and Facebook is one of few things that unite both sides of the political aisle. Maybe someone in 2020 could run under the 'anti-Facebook party' and win. But as much as people dislike Facebook, they will not stop using it, and they will not stop clicking the ads…same for Google.
Barrons writes: The View From Silicon Valley: 2 Facebook Risks That Seem Forgotten
The proverbial sky seems to be falling on Facebook (FB), with founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg agreeing to finally answer questions from Congress in the coming weeks.
Lawmakers will be pushing Zuckerberg about the company's privacy controversy, but the issues go deeper for Facebook. The fallout from the Cambridge Analytica data-harvesting episode has exposed Facebook to two risks that aren't getting much attention: One is the possibility, slight as it might be, that Facebook is newly vulnerable to competition. The other very real risk is Facebook's ability to retain and recruit top talent in hypercompetitive Silicon Valley. The biggest names in the Valley routinely poach workers from one another.
First, those plucky competitors. I need not look further than my email folder. Idka, an advertising-free social network, on Wednesday announced its subscription-based platform would be free to new users through October 2018. The company, which has vowed not to sell or share user data, claims a 50% increase in new users and an 800% increase in website visits in the past week.
Umm….really….the sky is falling because people are criticizing Facebook…as if that hasn't happened before. Facebook has been controversial since its inception. Just do a Google search. Facebook has been stepping one user's toes regarding privacy forever and it hasn't had any negative impact on Facebook's business, beyond a some negative press and having to release public statement. Remember Ello, which in 2015 I correctly predicted would fail. This will also fail. The reason why people use Facebook is because that's where everyone is. A social network becomes exponentially more valuable the more people are on it.
Like it or not, Facebook is in a stronger position than ever and I predict it will be a trillion-dollar company within a few years. The liberal media wants successful Silicon Valley companies to fail. They tried in vain to bring down Tesla and Uber, due to false accusations of employee misconduct on the part of Uber and overblown safety concerns regarding Tesla; neither stuck. Even if you think Silicon Valley is too powerful and ideologically left-wing, which it certainty is, it's interesting how the left-wing media has such great animus against Silicon Valley. This is possibly evidence of a long-standing 'civil war' among the left between the welfare liberals vs. the techno-comemrcalist neo liberals. The old left-wing institutions, such as the New York Times, CBS, Target (low-IQ retail), PBS, Stanford University, etc. see their power being eroded by the Cathedral of techno-commercialism, which although left-wing regarding social issues is more right-wing/libertarian regarding economic ones. The 'old media' empires and the legacy old Old Liberalism is slowly fading, being replaced by tech, social networking, Amazon.com, and Silicon Valley, that can be described ideologically as an amalgamation of libertarianism and neoliberalism. I predict the Old Left will lose, but the outcome will not be good for the 'right' either way.

Review of the review: Dr. Peterson's 12 Rules for Life
Why do people perceive Communism as less evil than Nazism?


Bond villain Julian Glover has been presented with a CBE by the Prince of Wales. The 78-year-old actor said the honour was a "vote of confidence" for a 60-year career that has included roles in Star Wars, Indiana Jones and opposite Roger Moore in "For Your Eyes Only".
After receiving the medal, he said: "It's the most extraordinary thing to happen. I was absolutely gobsmacked when I heard about it, but then you hear about all the people that have been doing it for you over the last few weeks and months and you realise you must have done something right in your life. It's a vote of confidence from everybody you know, which is simply wonderful. I'm thrilled."

Televangelist and prosperity gospel minister Jesse Duplantis is under scrutiny for asking donors to pay for a new multi-million-dollar jet he says he needs to spread God's Word.
Should Christians be Concerned about Paula White Speaking at Trump's Inauguration?
Last week the Presidential Inauguration Committee announced that Paula White, Senior Pastor of the New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, would take part in the swearing-in ceremony of President-elect Donald Trump.
For most people in America, including most churchgoers, Paula White is not yet a familiar name. That may change Jan. 20, when she delivers an invocation at the inauguration of Donald Trump.
Televangelist Paula White is to be one of the six clergy members who will speak and pray at Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20. White is known for promoting the prosperity gospel.
Alongside programs like "Orange Is the New Black" and "House of Cards," Netflix now offers users another type of content: Christian sermons.
Wealthy televangelists, or as some are referred to "Scamgelists," with outrageous claims are nothing new to Christian news. We've heard it all before—the mansions, the expensive cars, the private planes etc. But this is a new take on why famous pastors need private planes.
Televangelist Creflo Dollar caught heat this weekly for blatantly endorsing the prosperity gospel on Facebook.


Each year, after Colorado Gives Day, we compile a very comprehensive Report to measure results and learn about Colorado's online giving patterns. In addition to basic results--like # of donations, donors and participating nonprofits--we measure year-to-year growth, results according to organization type, and more.
91% of nonprofits participating in Colorado Gives Day 2012 reported at least one new donor. (According to 84% of surveyed nonprofits.) This means that not only is Colorado Gives Day a way to draw in brand new supporters, but you also need to think about how to retain them.

Renowned throughout the world as the most romantic destination on the earth, Bora Bora is one of the most incredible islands in French Polynesia - a galaxy of 118 islands and atolls.

No wonder why newly weds, honeymooners, couples, and celebrities from across the world come here to renew their marriage vows, rekindle their romantic feelings for each other, and celebrate important milestones in their life. Hence, Bora Bora has accommodation choices to cater to all preferences, such as upscale hotels and resorts, beautiful villas, and luxurious apartments.
However, no other options would be better than staying in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. In other words, overwater bungalows is the signature accommodation of the island, and is one of the specialties that draw tourists to this enchanting island. In deed, it is a must for honeymooners and newly weds taking a tour to the island.
As the name indicates, overwater bungalows, alternatively known as water villas, are residences positioned over sparkling waters of enchanting lagoon providing commanding views and ultimate privacy. It would be a delightful as well as a romantic experience for the couples to stay in a free-standing villa that has been built on stilts over the water.
Al though they look rustic from outside, overwater bungalows is perhaps the most gorgeous, luxurious, and romantic accommodation options available in French Polynesia. Surrounded by palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs, and magnificent vistas, overwater bungalows are replete with almost all facilities that are available in a high-end hotel or resort room.
Covering an area of about 1400 square foot, each of the overwater bungalows is inclusive of large relaxed bedroom, fully equipped kitchen, expansive living area, luxurious baths and toiletries, and private balcony, from where you can savor beautiful vistas of the surroundings including the towering Mt. Otemanu and beautiful Bora Bora lagoon.
Apart from these, many of the overwater bungalows consist of a large deck, which in turn is a great place to read your favorite book or to enjoy the extraordinary sights of the sunset. Since there are ladders from the deck, it enables you to easily slip down to lagoon and indulge in an array of activities such as swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
One of the features that set apart overwater bungalows is its glass floors, which allow you to see colorful marine life beneath and that too without ever getting wet. Another specialty of overwater bungalow is the way it serves the sumptuous breakfasts to its visitors. Mostly, breakfasts are delivered to guests through canoes by Polynesians dressed in traditional way.
Depending upon the tastes and requirements of guests, different types of overwater bungalows are available. Some resort allows guests to choose from two types of water villas such as ordinary overwater bungalows and deluxe overwater bungalows. An overwater bungalow would be complete with almost all the aforesaid facilities. On the other hand, a premium or a deluxe overwater bungalow is especially designed for tourists seeking both privacy and romance. A deluxe overwater bungalow renders the best views in the region, with an added advantage of being located in a quiet as well as tranquil spot.
Overwater bungalows are usually owned and maintained by a large resort group. In most cases, overwater bungalows are within close proximity to shore, thereby enabling guests to have easy access to the prime resort building, beaches, and almost all facilities in the area. They are clustered together, and are connected to the mainland through long plank pathways.
Water villas are extremely popular among newly weds and honeymooners. It would be of great demand, especially during the peak season from June to October.

John E. Fetzer and Constance Cumbey - - Fighting either for or against the "New Age"
Personal Update: My husband has been hospitalized since Saturday night. His blood sugar had dropped to a dangerous level. Please pray for our family! Barry has been a rock to me during the 38 years of my labor and research! Thank you!
UPDATE: Barry was discharged from the hospital after 4 nights there. He came home late Wednesday night. He is doing much better and thanks you for your prayers!
John E. Fetzer and Constance Cumbey - - Fighting either for or against the "New Age": Two former Seventh Day Adventists originally from the Fort Wayne, Indiana area – very, very different paths!
The immense ironies have not escaped me. One of the greatest perpetrators of the New Age Movement came from the same corner of Indiana where I was born and raised, although he arrived much earlier than myself (1909 vs. 1944). That was John E. Fetzer. One sounding the major warnings against the New Age Movement, myself, also came from that same corner of Indiana. John Fetzer was born in Decatur, Indiana. I was born in very nearby Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ironically, for formative years of our respective lives, we were both once Seventh Day Adventists. Out of curiosity, I searched online for mentions of our respective selves in SDA archives. The following is from the James White Library of Andrews University, the flagship Seventh Day Adventist university located in Berrien Springs, Michigan. Mr. Fetzer (1909-1991 and myself (1944 - present) took very, very different paths. Ironically, I only learned of Fetzer's Seventh Day Adventist background after reading a by now well publicized book by Brian C. Wilson, a professor of Comparative Religions at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kalamazoo, Michigan is where John E. Fetzer was headquartered for many years and where he built his business empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Kalamazoo is the home of the Fetzer Institute recipient of the huge fortune left by Mr. Fetzer on his death in Hawaii in 1991. Mr. Fetzer left his immensely large fortune to propagate and propagandize the New Age Movement.
Ironically, all I knew of Fetzer until 1988, the year Marilyn Ferguson called me to brag that she was enroute to his very large New Age conference was that he (Fetzer) was a long time Detroit Tigers baseball team owner. Marilyn Ferguson called me with a nearly bragging, "ha ha" voice to say she was enroute there and so were many others. This was his "Healing the Whole World" Conference John Fetzer held in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Prominent figures from around the globe -- New Age and globalist elites were to be in attendance. Indeed they were. They included such New Age luinaries as Marilyn Ferguson, Maurice Strong, Robert Muller (the UN Muller, not the famous Special Prosecutor),
Marilyn Ferguson and I were rivals -- literally competing for souls. She for the New Age Movement, myself against same. I met her personally on a few occasions and was even in her home on 3 different occasions at her her invitation and urging . The New Agers were anxious to check me out, but considered me a very real threat. I know Marilyn Ferguson was a dedicated New Ager for most of her adult life. I personally overheard her very worried mother who happened to be in her house one of the two different days I was there plead with her daughter Marilyn to go back to Jesus. Over the years I had several encounters with Marilyn Ferguson, including but not limited to a live television debate against her on an Marilyn Ferguson and I met on several occasions. She sent my publisher, Huntington House a threatening letter. When that moved neither them nor myself, she next sent me a letter somewhat more conciliatory. We had breakfast in a Windsor Ontario Restaurant in 1982. In 1984 I was surprised to be called by her secretary and invited to come to her home in Los Angeles, California for the first New Age "World War IV" party.
I said I would let them know. I called Bill Keith, president of Huntington House, my publisher and told him of the sudden invitation for an event only two days away. Richard Trosclair, his partner, called they called me back saying it was very important I be there. They would make the arrangements for the flight. I called a fellow researcher, Sylvia Beadleston McKevey in San Jose who agreed to fly up to Los Angeles and join us. We both stayed with another researcher friend Betty Irwin in the Los Angeles Palos Verdes area. On Sunday afternoon we three made our way to Marilyn Ferguson's home at the top of Mt. Washington in L.A The New Agers were obviously curious to look me over. It was quite a disparate collection of backyard with name-tag attendees. Indeed, Timothy Leary was one of those present in her backyard party.
I was at her home on two future occasions -- one was in early October 1987, right after a major earthquake in the LA area. There I met her mother, justifiably worried about Marilyn being involved in a movement denying Jesus, and I met her husband and children along with the family parrot. The next time I had a live encounter with Marilyn Ferguson was in the early Spring months of 1988. An Indianapolis TV station producer called to ask me to debate her on a live television program. Apart from that, we had many long telephone conversations from time to time over the years. All calls were initiated and placed by her. Motives are some times difficult to gauge, but I suspect she respected me. I also assume she was calling to try to find out how much I knew. Certainly, she learned that I knew plenty. Most certainly she could never say she was not fully and politely warned. Marilyn Ferguson could be a very likeable and personable individual. I've prayed that when she died on October 8, 2008 in Banning, California at only age 70, that maybe she better late than never had accepted her worried mother's warning -- one that I personally heard her give in October 1987.
As to John E. Fetzer, I learned from Dr. Wilson's book that he graduated as valedictorian from Emmanuel Missionary College in Berrien Springs, Michigan. While in attendance there he organized and ran its first radio station. That station he later purchased and relocated it to Kalamazoo, Michigan changing it from its religious format to a more secular one.
I am suspecting that John Fetzer may have known much more about me than I did about him, most likely starting in the year 1982, the year my work detailing the hidden dangers of the New Age Movement went very public. Now that I've delved into online historical documents of the Fetzer Institute, the John E. Fetzer Memorial Trust, and the Franklin Fetzer Fund, I'm even more convinced of that. I'm further suspecting that John Fetzer may have been a major contributor to the travel and advertising costs of Tara Center, including funding the worldwide Newspaper ads that ran on April 25, 1982.
I faced tremendous challenges and foes in outlining the horrifying plans that New Age activists were not afraid to put in print. They were riding high in 1982. Between 1975 and 1982 and for many years thereafter, another personality, Benjamin Creme, an Englishman of what he claimed was Jewish and Scottish descent toured the world in style proclaiming first that a new "Christ" was coming and after July 19, 1977, he was here.
I am now suspecting that John Fetzer was a major contributor to what had to be the enormous travel bills for Benjamin Creme and his claimed messianic cause. I now know from books publicly placed on the market and documents available online from the Fetzer Institute of Kalamazoo, Michigan, that former Seventh Day Adventist long since turned to New Age spiritualism and beyond studied and read Creme along with his nephew, Bruce Fetzer, also from a Christian heritage.
John Fetzer was one of America's wealthiest men. Childless from his marriage to another Seventh Day Adventist, Rhea, he left his entire vast fortune to be used for propagating New Age beliefs and their goals of a New World Order, a New World Religion, and to secure acceptance for a new "messiah" they freely admitted was not Jesus.
The irony also has not escaped me that Fetzer also might have been a large factor in the treatment I received from those in the Evangelical community trying so hard to persuade the Christian world first that there was no New Age Movement. When that effort failed, there were major attempts to redefine it -- denying both its obvious Luciferic and political aspects. The effort was to tell Christians that it was not a threat to Christianity and the other monotheistic religions of the world, Jews and Moslems included.
If you have not already read my now several years old articles on the internet about "The Hijacking of Evangelicalism", you might want to now retrieve and read them. If you have already read them, you will want to review them. I am about to update them with information I have gained on Fetzer's possible role in that process -- in his close personal relationship with Paul N. Temple and Temple's Institute of Noetic Sciences.
It is now my growing suspicion that Fetzer may have even paid a substantial portion of the cost of producing the world-wide newspaper ads ran in a half million dollar campaign. I am also suspecting he had helped to pay Benjamin Creme's obviously heavy travel expenses. Those ads ran in upwards of 20 major papers on April 25, 1982. They proclaimed that their new "Christ" would be introduced to the world within two months. They firmly believed they would do so.
It is my belief that with the help of God, we took them and that campaign by surprise and they have been delayed for upwards of 37 ears -- between 1982 and 2019.
It is further my belief that they are now on the march and sanctifying the New Age belief system complete with Alice Bailey (Lucifer Publishing Company, Lucis Trust) via attempting to confer public sainthood on John E. Fetzer and his "spiritual" work.
Where have the Seventh Day Adventists been on this?
I did a little digging on the internet tonight. I also found this quote from a Kalamazoo site:
But most of the money went to the John E. Fetzer Foundation, which he established in 1962. Called the Fetzer Institute today, it sponsors research into what Fetzer called the connections between body, mind and spirit - another interest of his from his youth. In August of 1987, Fetzer moved his foundation and its staff of nearly 30 to new headquarters overlooking Dustin Lake on West KL Avenue in Oshtemo Township. The structure is an equilateral triangle shape representing the three connections he believed in. His interest in parapsychology and spirituality began at an early age, and he claimed to have had several spiritual experiences that influenced his later life. While spending a year bedridden with complications of influenza, he made this commitment, "If I am permitted to live, I will devote my life to the spiritual work of the Creator." For the next 73 years he did. . . .[1]
Well, as I read the texts that John Fetzer and I were both raised with, he was doing mirror image opposite work to that of the Creator. More accurately, he was following every biblically forbidden spiritual practice as well as the "Thou Shalt have no other gods before me" from the 10 Commandments. What led him that way? Was it an excuse to him that his mother once confessed to having visited a fortune teller? Ironically, my own mother once confessed that to me. There was a time in her post Seventh Day Adventist years that I was dismayed to find her with a Ouija board. These were religious practices condemned by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. They were also clearly condemned by Scriptures.
Is there Seventh Day Adventist fault in these deviations from the faith? Maybe. I'm reading into the Fetzer experience as outlined by biographer Brian C. Wilson that Fetzer equated some of his own "spiritualism" to Ellen G. White, the prophetess of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Maybe there was far too much emphasis in the Seventh Day Adventist Church on the writings and "visions" of Ellen G. White and too little on the plain wording of Scripture. I am thinking that I remember little emphasis on Deuteronomy 18 that contained an explicit list of spiritual practices forbidden to the Israelites as they entered the land that the Lord took from others for pursuing those practices. Here is the express language taken from the King James version of the bible. It reads just about the same way in every other version:
When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord : and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.
For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners : but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
The Seventh Day Adventists also, following the teachings of Ellen G. White, characterized many of the Gnostics as the true Christians -- the "true church" that went underground for a period of 1,260 years. I heard this teaching many, many times during my youthful years in the Fort Wayne, Indiana Seventh Day Adventist Church. Thankfully, we also sang "give me the Bible, holy message shining." Fortunately for me, that part stuck. There were others, like David Koresh, John Fetzer, and others now deeply ensconced in the occult who interpreted things very differently or in the characterizing the Roman Catholic Church as the Beast of Revelation, missed other scriptural indicators of what the real beast would eventually bring forth -- as foretold in Revelation Chapter 9, the rise of the occult. Another sad indicator of that was a site for a former Seventh Day Adventist I found on the internet. She had formed her own church devoted to radical feminism, goddess(es) and all. She calls herself "Katia" and is now openly into all forms of the occult, radical feminism, Eckart Tolle. Here is something she wrote:
I went to Seventh Day Adventist schools and boarding schools during all my childhood and teen years. They teach a love for the Cathars big time. Our elementary school teachers made us read stories and color pictures of Waldensian and Albigensian children walking perilous mountain cliffs, hiding from the Inquisition on pain of death, carefully writing out copies of the Bible.
I left the Adventist church as a young adult because they don't acknowledge the Divine Feminine, but I still have a friendly attitude toward some of their doctrine. I have been studying the Gnostic Cathars more in depth than usual lately and found some old notes I made last year. I realized the Adventists have a lot in common with the Cathars — who were called Waldensians and Albigensians in their day, only the Roman Catholic Church called them Cathars, originally a derogatory term meaning "purists" or "pure ones."
Here is what I jotted down last year when I realized the uncanny similarity between the SDA's and Cathars / Waldensians / Albigensians. The SDA founder, Ellen G. White, visited the Cathar / Waldensian valleys area in Europe (Italy and France border area) twice in 1885 to 1887 while she was in Europe. Chapter 4 of her famous book, The Great Controversy, is about these cool heretics. Adventists really really honor heretics!, good for them.[2]
Here's what she is doing today, per her blogspot/website:
Author: Katia
Katia is a consecrated independent sacramental bishop. She directs the online Esoteric Mystery School and Interfaith Theological Seminary. Check it out at NorthernWay.org.

The blogger calls herself "Katia" and she is obviously well-versed in SDA theology and teachings as well as her unfortunate and obvious involvement in the occult, sanctified in her mind by its equation to her own belief set. Her article goes on to discuss other parallels. I looked up Ellen G. White's own comments in my copy of "The Great Controversy" and did note that she had indicated that those fleeing had been subject to some degree to pagan influences.

Orange County's animal shelter is nearly full with stray and homeless pets this summer, prompting local officials to reduce adoption fees to $10 or waive them in some cases.
The shelter is almost at capacity with 539 dogs and cats, as well as 102 animals in foster homes, according to a news release. The population spike is largely due to the breeding season, which peaks during the summer months. Usually, the shelter gets an average of 50 dogs and cats per day, but that number can double during the summer.
"Elevated shelter populations place a considerable strain on resources, as well as space at shelters like OCAS, which is the county's only open admission shelter – meaning they do not turn away any dog or cat," Orange County Animal Services says in a statement. "With the need to balance the health and well-being of hundreds of animals every single day, ensuring that the shelter remains just a temporary safe haven before an animal finds a loving home is mission critical."
OCAS says in an effort to increase adoptions, staff has already vaccinated, spayed and neutered many of the available pets. Animals that have been at the shelter for more than 10 days are currently being featured on the agency's social media pages, and adoptions fees for those pets have been waived.
"OCAS remains a safe haven for all animals," a statement says. "Officials still want to remind individuals no longer able to care for a dog or cat to please exhaust all efforts to find the animal a permanent and loving home prior to surrendering to Orange County Animal Services."
OCAS's shelter is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando. You can look at Orange County's adoptable dogs and cats online at the county website, or look through Orlando Weekly's gallery of pets currently at the shelter. For more information, visit the OCAS website here.

Ghostbusters Director & Producer Ivan Reitman Reveals Plans For Future Films
Who you gonna call? Ivan Reitman for more Ghostbuster action!
Lauren Fazackarley June 13, 2017, 10:24 am 229 Views
Let's be honest, we all love the original Ghostbusters movies, and we (kinda) liked last year's Ghostbusters remake – and according to Ivan Reitman, it seems there could be more Ghostbusters action in the near future.
Original Ghostbusters director and producer, Ivan Reitman has confirmed in a new interview that the Ghostbusting isn't over just yet.
What we've been doing a lot is thinking about the franchise rights for Ghostbusters. Because Ghostbusters, that idea doesn't have to just take place in New York, it can happen over the world.
Does this mean we could be getting something strange LITERALLY in our neighborhood? He goes on to say:
I think it would be really cool to see Korean ghosts or Chinese ghosts. All those great traditions in the world have all these tales and things those people are afraid of. To have a sort of local group of Ghostbusters that tie with the head office in New York would be fun.
At the moment, Reitman has no official plans in place or a timescale of when he'd like these new movies to start shooting – but we're definitely up for this. As he continued the interview, he assured Ghostbusters fans that these new movies within the franchise would 'tie the world's together' rather than producing stand-alone storylines. But of course, Sony needs to sign off on these ideas before they really take off, so we won't get too excited just yet…

A proposal to close the Worthing Counter Post Office in Chapel Road and open a branch at WHSmith in South Street has been announced.
The Post Office said the proposed move would come into effect in March 2019.
A spokesman said: "This move is part of the continuing modernisation of our branch network.
"We believe the most effective way to secure the long term viability of Post Office services in Worthing is through a carefully selected retail partner, and we are confident that our proposal is the best way of safeguarding services for the community for years to come.
The new branch at WHSmith will operate from a newly built dedicated open plan Post Office area on the ground floor.
This will be located to the rear of the premises on the right hand side of the WHSmith store.
The new branch would have extended opening hours, including Saturday afternoons and Sundays, the Post Office confirmed.
The spokesman said: "WHSmith has been successfully operating Post Offices within its stores since 2007 and currently runs over 130 branches.
The consultation asks how easy it is for people to get to the proposed new location, whether the premises are easy for people to get into and whether they are accessible once inside.
Residents are also asked whether there are any other local community issues which could be affected by or affect the proposed move.
The Post Office confirmed that it is not seeking feedback on the change of management of the branch, as it said this is a commercial decision for Post Office Ltd.
The news comes after the Crown Post Office in neighbouring Lancing and Shoreham closed last year.

Paula Labaredas.net
A few words about Paula
On July 6th in a small town in Portugal, Paula Maria Esteves Labaredas was born in her grandma's home. She is the middle child of three girls.
Paula was brought up Catholic, and her mom wanted all her girls to become nuns. At the age of 2, Paula's family migrated to America in hopes of finding "The American Dream". On the way to America, Paula's life was almost cut short. The American dream did not seem so great to her parents anymore, when they thought they lost their child. On the plane, Paula started hyperventilating. She then fell unconscious and stopped breathing. She was pronounced dead by a doctor on board, but luckily a few moments later she revived. The Labaredas family set up their home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where her father worked as a construction worker, and her mother a seamstress in factories. Being from the old country, her father once built a wine cellar from scratch, and her mother often made clothes for Paula and her sisters. Paula attended inner city schools, and throughout grammar school was a member of the chorus, which held yearly school productions.
Paula was very shy. She grew up in a strict, disciplined household, which caused her to feel locked up and suffocated. As a result, she used television and her imagination as an escape. At the age of 16 she started working as a waitress and was able to save enough money and attend college. There she had courage to overcome her shyness by discovering and falling in love with acting. She knew she wanted to perform the rest of her life.
Against her family's wishes (where leaving home before marriage goes against the cultural grain), Paula made the move to NYC, to pursue her acting career. Within the 1st year she found it financially, emotionally, and physically difficult…moving eight times, sleeping on friends' floors, basically living out of her suitcase, yet she continued on her acting journey, booking jobs in soap operas, independent films, web series & off broadway plays, which eventually led her to Los Angeles.
Paula's intense passion, tenacity & persistence keeps her on the road to continued success. She wants to excel in her work, and be one of the best in the film industry.
Paula's pure heart shines through her work, which is evident in her poems, her paintings, and her charity work. Paula has also produced numerous shorts, web series & co-produced two features through her production company Lucky Tiger Films. She has been a vegetarian for over 10 years, is spiritual, loves to work out, loves to dance, and loves to spend her free time with her family.
Portuguese American beauty Paula Labaredas started her career on a very promising note by winning her very first acting award, the "Shining Star Award." She then hit the big apple (NYC) landing a starring role as a series regular in an international soap opera, "Mausum". She has had the honor of working with legendary actor Al Pacino and the renowned producer/director Roger Corman. As a correspondent, Paula's charm, versatility, and doer attitude has given her the opportunity to interview such greats as James Cameron, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart, Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell among others.
A model and an internet sensation, Paula's modeling pics continuously go viral. She reached 9000 followers, within two weeks, on Instagram. Paula was recognized by AOL news as Euro 2012's main attraction and seen by Joblo.com as having won the SDDC award for her cosplay modeling. Paula has been featured on blogs of Sports Illustrated, Portugal's Playboy, Aol News, Radar Online, NY Post, Huffington Post, Nasdaq, Aol News, Radar online, and Daily Star, as well as many others. Paula's image has also graced the pages of Hod Rods, Car Craft, Femme Fatales, CFQ, the cover of Cupcake Magazine, We Rise Mag & numerous newspapers.
Paula recently released her music video, "Selfie Girl", a playful, catchy, clever, Barbie Girl Parody that highlights the obsession with Social Media.

Contractors are scheduled to begin fuel reduction work on the first units of the Marshall Woods project area on July, 13, within the Rattlesnake National Recreation Area.
Missoula District Ranger Jennifer Hensiek said the project has been many years in the making, and is finally ready to start.
"We've been working on this project since 2009, primarily with the Lolo Restoration Committee," Hensiek said. "In 2015 we kicked off the public comment period and so lately, there's been a lot of public input."
Hensiek described the scope of the project.
"This project will generally in the lower Rattlesnake in the national recreation area, over to the Woods Gulch area and then over the hill into the Marshall Canyon area," she said. "The goals included not just forest restoration, but also recreation, weed control and eradication. and dealing with some of our watershed issues.The first phase we'll be working on is thinning some of the most high priority areas, and that will be in the Rattlesnake corridor in the trail vicinity, and that's scheduled to start on July 13th."
The public is asked to use caution in this area as there will be heavy equipment operating beginning mid to late July.
Hensiek said the project is being funded by the National Forest System and from a pot of money that they compete for in high priority fuel projects, along with funding directly from their Washington D.C. office.

Citrus College Newsroom»2022/2023»College Earns 12th Military Friendly Designation
Citrus College Newsroom2022/2023College Earns 12th Military Friendly Designation
College Earns 12th Military Friendly Designation
Citrus College earns 12th consecutive Military Friendly School designation
Glendora, Calif. (March 16, 2021) – When it was announced that Citrus College would once again be included on the annual Military Friendly Schools list, Jixiang Bian wasn't surprised. After all, the 27-year-old computer science major has personally benefited from the services the college provides to student veterans.
"Citrus College really encourages all veterans to achieve their academic goals," the former U.S. Army specialist said. "The college's Veterans Success Center [VSC] is one of the greatest I have ever seen. When I was a new student, the center's staff were with me every step of the way. They helped me feel supported."
This commitment to serving student veterans is the reason Citrus College recently earned its 12th consecutive Military Friendly School designation from VIQTORY, a service-disabled and veteran-owned small business that operates the Military Friendly brand.
Every year since 2003, VIQTORY has presented Military Friendly honors to the top 15% of the nation's colleges, universities and trade schools that demonstrate a commitment to embracing military students. To compile their annual list, the organization gathers information from data-driven surveys, public data sources and personal data collected from veterans.
"The entire campus community considers it is a source of pride that Citrus College has the privilege of serving our student veterans and has received the Military Friendly designation for so many years. This special recognition represents the great work that our faculty and staff have completed on behalf of some of our nation's most heroic citizens," said Dr. Greg Schulz, superintendent/president of Citrus College. "When you combine a military background with a college education, the possibilities for future academic and career success are undeniable. Our hope is that any local veterans considering a college education will learn of this designation and know that Citrus College would consider it an honor to be the first step on their higher education journey."
The complete list of 2022-2023 Military Friendly Schools will be published in the May 2022 issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and will also appear online at militaryfriendly.com. This year, Citrus College is one of only 282 colleges and universities in the nation to be granted gold award status. This special designation is reserved for those top institutions that have leading practices, outstanding outcomes and effective programs.
"On behalf of the entire board, I extend my sincere gratitude to the faculty and staff who have made this recognition possible. I am especially appreciative of the team in the VSC who are committed to meeting the needs of our student veterans," said Mary Ann Lutz, president of the Citrus Community College District Board of Trustees. "Transitioning to an academic culture after serving in the military can bring unique challenges. With the help of the VSC, our student veterans are reaching their academic and professional goals in increasing numbers every year."
A central location on campus where members of the military can receive information, seek assistance and interact with peers, the VSC provides a wide array of services. These include access to computers, academic counseling, financial aid guidance, mental health services, assistance with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs educational benefits and more.
According to Mr. Bian, the services and staff in the VSC have given him the confidence to fulfill his first academic dream. Next fall, Mr. Bian will be transferring to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor's degree.
"When I transfer, I hope that my new school has a veterans center that is just as nice as the one at Citrus College," he said. "The fact that the VSC always felt like home has made all the difference."

A male body was discovered by A&M work crews shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday in a grassy area just west of the Whitley Hall residence hall.
The male body was identified as Alejandro Cifuentes, and has been confirmed deceased according to a statement by Noah Nelson, Vice President for Media Relations & Community Engagement at A&M-Commerce.
Cifuentes was a 22-year-old senior at A&M-Commerce from Nicaragua.
According to the Commerce Journal Nelson said that A&M-Commerce University Police are currently investigating the incident and have not publicly released a cause of death. There is currently no suspicion of foul play, according to Nelson.
Pictured below is Alejandro Cifuentes in a picture from a friend's social media and comments from those that knew him.
Consuelo Armendariz, senior: "He was funny, outgoing, and wanting to go to law school."
Johnny Espinoza, senior: "He was very quiet, but once you peeled away those layers, he was very curious about the world and always wanted to learn more."
According to an A&M-Commerce press release, the campus police department has determined that suicide was the cause of Cifuentes's death.
The university sent out a corrected press release that states that the campus police department "is still investigating that an apparent suicide was the cause of Alejandro's death."
Oct. 31 @ 6:17
As reported by the Commerce Journal, Noah Nelson, Vice President for Media Relations and Community Engagement, stated that the time of death was around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Nov. 1 @ 5:36
A candlelight vigil will be held in honor of Cifuentes by the Department of Political Science Nov. 2 from 5:30-7 p.m. on the Great Lawn, and a procession will then be led to the amphitheater where a remembrance board for Cifuentes will be on display.

Q: Error when attempting to run application I am moving an asp.net web forms application over to mvc. I want to re-use as much code as possible so I decided use my existing linq to sql library.
I am new to MVC, but have viewed numerous videos from PluralSite for direction.
I created a model library to work between the linq to sql and the web api.  I had read that I needed to do this because of linq to sql's complexities.
I have also created a web api and started adding linq queries to the controllers.
public IList<Model.vSchedulesFill> GetCustomerSchedules(int id)
    {
        var sch = from p in _context.vSchedulesFills
                  where p.CustomerID == id
                  orderby p.SchedStartDateTime descending
                  select new Model.vSchedulesFill(p);

        return sch.ToList();
   }

I tested the above query using Fiddler and the result were good, so I tried to run the program and received the HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden error.
The database is on a remote server, but I am running the app in debug mode on my local machine.
The error mentions no default document or IIS directory browser not turned on.
I looked up the default document and saw a lot about adding the web api help file.  So I went to NuGet and installed it, but the application still will not run.
I have looked all over for solution to this problem...
What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to fix this?
Thanks for your help
Added
     <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />

to web config under section system.webServer.
Can view directory but that's not what I needed.  I basically wanted to be able to run the program and then type in the path in the address bar, like I did in Fiddler.
I didn't remove any of the default layout forms included in the web api project.
Thanks

Q: How to train end-to-end CNN? While using caffe as

./build/tools/caffe train --solver=models/Handmade/solver.prototxt

caffe also gets into "phase: TEST" but I have no test data. I only want to train the parameters on my training data, so I haven't used "phase: Test" in "train.prototxt", which causes error. What should I do?

A: I don't know if you can completely omit the test phase but it's possible to train your model without needing a separate test set. It's also possible to prevent the solver from ever switching to the test phase.
Reuse your training data for the test phase. You can do so by duplicating your data layer and specifying it for the test phase.
To limit computations to the training phase only increase the value of test_interval in your solver definition to a number larger than your training set or, better, larger than max_iter. This prevents the solver from ever switching to the test phase.
I find it a bit odd to train a model without wanting to know how to does on a separate set of data points.


It was Martin Luther King, Jr. day. Most of my friends and family were given the day off of work and I naturally was envious of their three-day weekend. Then as Monday morning rolled around, my alarm went faulty. As a woman who is known for being inappropriately early for everything in life – flights, dentist appointments, dinner at Mom's, etc. – imagine my frazzled state when I realized I slept in. It was just the start to a bad day, and I was in a foul mood. But we had a mentoring and volunteering project planned so I grudgingly loaded my car with supplies for the day's service project and was on my way.
I arrived at the Lighthouse Point Assisted Living Center and once I told the staff I was there from FedEx Ground, they welcomed me with smiles and kind words of gratitude, expressing how thankful the senior citizens and the staff were for spending time with them. Each staff member stopped what they were doing to help me unload my car and although cliché, they couldn't have been nicer. Embarrassed for initially being so jaded, my perspective on the day quickly began to change.
In just a few minutes, fellow employee volunteers started trickling in one by one, and then the school bus of 20 students arrived from Urban Youth Action, an organization that serves underprivileged youth in Allegheny County and prepares the young people for education, employment, entrepreneurship and public service.
Most of these seniors had endless stories to tell, and as a part of United Way's "Open your heart to seniors" program, our visits to them were in many cases the first visit they've had in quite some time. So we let them talk, and we let them share wise words of advice.
Be yourself. Stay in school. Don't wear make up, it will make you look old. Don't do anything you will regret later in life. Keep your house clean.
But what resonated most for the students were the tales of the seniors' lives. As the students took turns sharing with the group what they learned from their interviews, I was amazed at how deeply affected they were. And while they shared what was soon discovered as common threads among the seniors, it was the messages they took away from the interviews that meant the most.
The students articulated that no matter what age you are, you will go through hard times. We'll get through them.
Money and social acceptance will always play a role in society from any standpoint. We'll get through it.
The seniors lived simple, yet full lives because they made the most of what little they had. We need to do the same.
The seniors, for the most part, held a strong tie with family and neighbors. We're nothing without our parents. We need to restore those relationships.
Seniors grew up and lived on hope and hard work. We need to do the same.
As the students were visibly struck with emotions, the employees were the actually the ones learning the most valuable lessons. I know it was definitely a humbling experience for me.
Dr. King would be proud.
