Post Malone has reached another milestone with his platinum single "Rockstar" featuring 21 Savage.
The song debuted in 2018 on his sophomore album, Beerbongs & Bentleys. This adds yet another achievement for the single as it also won the Song of the Year at the 2018 VMAs, while also going eight times platinum.
It has been quite the journey to fame for the twenty-three-year-old from Grapevine High School.
After moving from New York to Texas when he was younger, he found his love for music. A few years later, Mr. Post created his stage name through a random rap name generator from his legal name, Austin Post.
Shortly after graduating from Grapevine High School, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his musical dreams as Post Malone.
After arriving in LA, he recorded the song, "White Iverson" and it quickly gained praise from popular rappers such as Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa. The fame and popularity quickly engulfed Post Malone within the month and he would then go on to sign with Republic Records and release his first album, Stoney.
That fame led to him creating the single "Rockstar", which gave listeners a taste of his life. Not only do people enjoy listening to Post Malone for his unique sound, but also because it makes them feel like real life rockstars.
Now, he has everyone, including adults, constantly on the edge of their seats just waiting for him to release more music.

Car runs good and attracts attention any time it is driven. It has a little hesitation in the carb which is normal for Avanti's with this setup, unless it has the factory fix. It is not a ground up restore, but has a lot of new parts and very low miles. The odometer shows 12,700, but can not prove (just a statement). The bottom has been cleaned and sealed. The tach and temp gage do not work. The wiring and sensor are good on the temp, but gage is bad. The tach will need to be updated to work with electronic ignition. I am asking 16,500, but would look at serious offers or possible trade for Tundra of equal value.

A government bill to close the disused rail line between Tumbarumba – Rosewood has been introduced in to the NSW parliament – by Andrew Constance, Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. A high number of parliamentarians spoke to the bill and favourably to the development of Rail Trails in NSW. The Legislative Review Committee process has indicated some wording amendment would provide greater certainty as to closure of the line for it future purpose as a public rail trail. Rail Trails for NSW hope this view will be attended to in the upper house deliberations.
Queanbeyan – Bredbo – Bombala RT
"I remember a butcher, a baker, a general store, two pubs, two hotels, two garages, two schools, and a preschool," the
47-year-old said. "It used to be a saying: 'Nobody could come through Nimmitabel and not have a beer.' " The once-bustling logging railroad, which stretches 214km from Queanbeyan, ACT, to Bombala in southern NSW, is now rusted and overgrown, but in Mr Jardine's eyes it's the pathway to restoring at least five country towns to their former glory. He's working to have it converted into a scenic bike trail, as Victoria has successfully done with several of its disused
railways. "It's a no-brainer. It would be one of the longest rail trails in Australia," he said. "The scenery it goes through is
unreal (and) it would start at a capital city with an international airport." Mr Jardine is part of the Monaro Rail Trail committee, which is pushing to have a feasibility study done into the project. "It would go through Michelago, Bredbo, Cooma, Nimmitabel and Bombala," he said. "And by our rough calculations, it would put $15 million into these towns every year." Each cyclist — Baby Boomers, he hopes — will spend roughly $200 a day in the towns on a trip that would take five days. "At $1000 each trip, with a conservative estimate of 15,000 people per year, it's a no brainer." Mr Jardine and several others, all avid cyclists, have been working on the project for about 18 months and have so far encountered resistance from some local landholders, state member and Deputy Premier John Barilaro, and the administrator of the newly amalgamated Snowy-Monaro Regional Council, Dean Lynch. "At the moment, we just want the feasibility study, which we think would cost about $50,000," he said. "Victoria has opened dozens of these trails, and thousands of people travel there to ride them. "I didn't see a feasibility study on the amalgamations, the greyhounds or the lockout laws. "These people made all these decisions to end things in a heartbeat, but they can't make a decision that would actually create something for the community." Mr Barilaro said the NSW government is taking a "measured approach" to rail trails, and "any decision to convert a rail corridor will be made with thorough community consultation to make sure we get it right." The local federal MP, Labor's Mike Kelly, supports the project and said it would help address underemployment issues in the community.

Rail trail the centrepiece of new budget
Wheely important job creation scheme for NSW
by Ros Holcombe
Do you like cycling, Premier Mike Baird? No? What about job creation and reinvigoration of rural towns? You do! Well I have an excellent suggestion for you.
I have just returned from cycling the magnificent Otago Central Rail Trail in New Zealand's South Island and have seen what economic benefits cycle tourism has brought to the region. New Zealand's first purposely planned rail to trail conversion, it runs for 150 kilometres between Clyde (one hour from Queenstown) and Middlemarch.
The Otago Central Railway ran from 1879 until 1990. Measures protecting the railway from road freight competition were gradually wound back until 1983 when the track's fate was sealed. With a gradient never steeper than one metre over every 50 metres, its potential for conversion for cycling was obvious. The Otago Central Rail Trail Trust was established in 1994 by the Department of Conservation to be the face of the project.
At first, not everyone was convinced it was a good idea. Former Trust chairwoman Daphne Hull said farmers were concerned about cyclists disturbing stock and damaging fences. One politician said "All you'll see is a ribbon of weed from outer space. It will be unused." Interestingly, Hull says, it was women who embraced the idea and saw the potential to rent out spare bedrooms and serve meals to cyclists, these becoming the first trail B&Bs.
Some $800,000 was spent on resurfacing and bridge remodelling and the trail opened in 2000. Now, each year 120,000 people spend an hour or more walking or cycling parts the trail and 16,000 complete the whole 150 kilometres, on average spending four to five days to cover the distance. Three main companies offer full-service holidays – renting bikes, booking accommodation and transporting bags and people between towns. Historic buildings in isolated landscapes are being renovated into cafes, restaurants and accommodation, earning the trail the nicknames Central Otago Ale Trail and the Latte Lover's Dream, creating more than 120 direct jobs and pumping $5.3 million into the rural economy each year.
One such business is the converted Railway School B&B in Lauder – population 14. Owners Bruce and Esme Macdonald bought the property in 2010 and now have 1800 Trailers sleeping there each year, representing 90 per cent of their business. Across the road at the Lauder Hotel, publican Nobby says 60 per cent of his business comes from Trailers, who prop up the bar with local farmers.
The quality of the meals here and at all the pubs en route is astounding – local venison, lamb and steak, salmon ballotine, seafood chowder, locally caught trout wrapped in bacon and blue eyed cod with mash. And the pinot noir Otago is famous for. I can't help thinking that in a hamlet of 14 in country NSW you would be lucky to get a pie and chips.
While 61 per cent of Trailers are Kiwis (Australians come second), overseas visitor numbers are growing as the reputation of the trail spreads worldwide. A recent survey by cycling equipment maker Velostar rated New Zealand, with its 23 Great Rides, the second best country for cycle tourism. France was first, Australia fourth. Even our Megan Gale is promoting NZ cycling.
And so to NSW Mr Baird. Our Victorian neighbours enjoy 850 kilometres of rail trails, including the famous Murray to Mountains passing through the gorgeous towns of Bright, Beechworth and Mt Beauty. Some 40,000 people visit north-east Victoria's rail trails each year, spending an average of $244 a day per head.
But here in the Premier State we're missing out on the action and once again it's our old enemy red tape that's to blame. Unlike other states, the transport minister does not have the power to declare a line closed, and an act of Parliament is required to amend the Transport Administration Act before the land can be redesignated. If you could work on that Mr Baird, then the process of consultation across communities could begin.
A glance at the Rail Trails Australia website shows a long list of proposed trails in NSW "not yet open" that are in limbo due to the legislative impasse. They include Dubbo to Molong, Goulburn to Crookwell and Tumut to Batlow.
Tim Coen, Deputy Chairman of Rail Trails NSW, describes the development process as "low-hanging fruit", as rail trails are relatively cheap to develop and the benefits to communities come quickly.
Can you see budding entrepreneurs getting cycle shops, cafes and B&Bs up and running, Mr Baird? Regional tourism growing? Of course the trainspotters who dream of a resumption of costly train services, and farmers already encroaching on the land, will need swaying but with your powers of persuasion that shouldn't be difficult.
Tumbarumba to Rosewood, in pilot mode now, could be the first cab off the rank.

Valencia County Plans To Clean Up Abandoned Properties
Valencia county officials said they have almost 400 abandoned properties that can be magnets for criminal activity.
Many have been the target of suspected arsonists in recent weeks, and that's just one of the many reasons the county wants to crack down in that area. The county has the plan and the money to tackle the dilapidated houses.
Commissioner Lynette Pinkston said there are homes that have been sitting abandoned for years. On one street alone, there are homes with 5-foot-tall weeds, broken windows, and ripped-off roofs.
With a $200,000 grant from the state, the plan is to hire two abatement officers to track down the owners of the properties and get them to clean up or face serious consequences. And if the owner doesn't step up, what's left of the building will be knocked down, and the county will take over.
With the grant, the county will focus on turning around at least 40 properties. Pinkston said if they are successful, they'll likely be asking the state for more money to keep the abatement program going. The county will have the officers hired and the program ready to go by January.

Why language is so important for every project. Does it matter when a developer works on the big project? And the answer is, yes, many programming languages are present now and they are really good and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages but when we talk about the comforts and security. No one is better than Python. Let's find out the some new things about Python.
Python is an interpreter, interactive and object-oriented language which is used for backend web development, data analysis, Artificial Intelligence, and scientific computing. Now developers are using python for desktop applications. If you are interested to develop web applications, Python is a better choice for development. The syntax of this language is very easy as compared to most of the other popular programming languages. Python proceeds at runtime by its interpreter, so there is no need to compile any program before executing. It is similar to PERL PHP.
Nowadays python includes other languages like Jython and java for java virtual machine. They are also capable of interacting with other languages.
Python has a comprehensive and large standard library which includes some dynamic features and automatic memory management function. It is very remarkable and easy to learn this language. Since a long time, lot of big companies rely on the language, SO as a python developer you can make a lot of money.
History of Python
Python was developed by Guido Van Rossum in the late '80s and early '90s at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in Netherland
Python is derived from another language including ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Smalltalk, UNIX shell and the other scripting language. Nowadays, Python is maintaining by the core development team of the institute.
Features of Python
Easy-to-understand: - Python has few keywords (reserved word), easy structure and very clearly defined syntax. It is very easy in read and write.
Portable: - It can be run on the wide variety of hardware platform
Extendable: - You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules enable a programmer to add or customize their tools in an easy way
Database: - Python provides an easy interface to all major databases.
GUI: - Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many systems calls, libraries, and windows system, for example, Windows MFC, Mac, and the all X windows system of UNIX.
It supports all the functions of structured programming, just like OOP. Python is integrated with popular programming languages like C, C++, and Java. It provides very high –level dynamic data types and also supports dynamic type checking.
Advantages of Python
Limitations of Python
Last Word
There are several reasons available for choosing Python as the main programming language for big projects. As a security point of view, Python is very good. Many bank systems are developed using this language. It is flexible and provides more scalability for any software as compare to other languages.

Flying Ants Vs. Swarming Termites
May 8, 2017
Ants and termites have many similarities. They both create nests in the ground and have species that can produce nests in man-made structures. They both produce workers for the purpose of locating and acquiring food. They are both insects, which means they have a head, a thorax, an abdomen, and six legs. And, they both produce swarmers.
Ant swarmers (often called flying ants) and termite swarmers have a lot in common. They are both produced by a mature nest for the purpose of going out and establishing new nests. They are male and female insects that mate and shed their wings. And, swarms from both of these insects don't travel far or last long.
All ant species can produce swarmers, but carpenter ants are the species that has the most in common with termites. This is because carpenter ants chew tunnels and galleries in wood, which can be quite destructive when these insects are left untreated.
Visual Differences
Termites and ant swarmers have 4 wings, but the wings of a flying ant do not stack evenly on top of each other like the wings of a termite. There should be a cleft at the tips of ant wings where the two left wings are slightly offset from the two right wings.
Termite wings are white. The wings of carpenter ant swarmers are tan.
Carpenter ants swarmers can be entirely black, but they may also have reddish coloring.
While carpenter ant swarmers can be entirely black, they are much larger than termite swarmers and easily distinguishable. Carpenter ants can be as much 5/8 inches long, including the wing length. Termite swarmers are only 3/8 inches long with wing length included.
The wings of termite swarmers go far beyond the abdomen, while the wings of a carpenter ant swarmer overhangs slightly.
Termite swarmers have antennae that are somewhat straight. Flying ants have an elbow in the middle.
Carpenter ants swarmers have a distinct pinch between their thorax and abdomen.
Carpenter ants cost U.S. property owners millions of dollars in damage annually, but the damage caused by termites is in the billions. While it is never a good idea to let either of these insects establish a nest on your property, termites are a much greater threat. This is due to the way termites damage man-made structures. They can come up from the ground and silently feed on the inside of wood for years without being detected. Fortunately, termite damage can be prevented.
If you need assistance protecting your home from termites, Arrow Pest Control can help. Our termite specialists know how to stop termite damage before it happens. And, if you have ants, we can help with that too.

It's a four hour drive to Kumarakom, a sleepy little town by the backwaters, dominated by resorts. Kottayam is a short distance away, and there is apparently some sightseeing to be done there.
The roads of Kottayam remind me of Goa, low-rise colourful houses, with wide fields lined with rice patties, and peppered with clumps of coconut and palm trees. Gates are flat, as security is not a concern here.
There are small eateries lining marketplaces, with mom and pop shops of all varieties.

I hear a lot about a Thekkady-based joint called Grandma's Cafe, so on my second (and last) evening there, I finally decide to give it a try.
This place is an institution, and is known for it's mix of Continental, non-Kerala Indian, and Kerala cuisine, and being a favourite of travellers. I found it in my Lonely Planet guide book and on Tripadvisor, where there seemed to be a rather lively debate on whether they serve beer.

The kalaripayattu performance that follows the kathakali is nothing short of spectacular. The practitioners move like dancers, their bodies a combination of ridiculous strength and flexibility.
Kalaripayattu is an ancient martial art that originated in Kerala, with roots that date back to the Sangam period literature (3rd century BC – 2nd century AD). Every soldier during this period received regular military training. It takes elements from yoga, dance and performing arts, which are visible in today's performance. (more…)

Although I had originally planned to see the Kathakali performance in Kumarakom, I find out that it's difficult to organise, or at least my hotel says so. Fortunately I have the evening free in Thekkady, so I decide that I might as well.
I glance in my guide book, and it recommends the Mudra Cultural Centre. I type in the URL and check – the show timings are still 5pm and 7:15 for Kathakali, and 6pm and 7:15 for kalarippayat, the traditional Kerala martial art. (more…)

The lobby smells of cream, that's the only way I can describe it. It's a nice comforting scent that lingers in the entrance area – not too strong not too weak – the baby bear of smells. I stand in the room surveying the space around me carefully.
There is a long hallway of an entrance with a washroom on the left hand side. If I stand facing the entrance there are a series of closets on my right, a balcony on my left and an arguably excessively large wooden panel in front of me, presumably for mounting the mini home theatre system someone has decided I will undoubtedly own.

My Approach to Tutoring
After having studied pedagogy for my MA and having gathered several years of teaching experience, I can now say that I want to be the teacher I never had. I want to make the learning process as fun and easy as possible, offer support, motivation and encouragement for my students.
While I was doing my MA in Theatre Education, I discovered that I could incorporate acting games into each discipline taught in school. Applying principles from theatrical disciplines into teaching makes learning more fun and playful. And according to studies, this is how our brains get the most out of a lesson. That also means that I am applying two other main theatrical tools: discipline and focus. As my teaching mentor taught me at our first encounter,"I (the teacher) am giving you 100%, therefore I ask the same of you". I am on time, 100% present, and disciplined in my lesson planning. I am asking the same from my students.
My Tutor Profile

Even if you adhere to near-perfect dental hygiene, there is a high chance you can still end up with yellow teeth. To most people, gleaming white teeth portray youth and vitality, albeit for everyone, just as our hair turns gray, our teeth turn yellow as we age. Besides aging, our teeth may turn yellow due to: the foods we eat, our lifestyle habits, or consumption of products like caffeine or tobacco that can stain tooth surfaces, making them look yellow and shabby. Thankfully, tooth color can be improved by a number of approaches and methods including whitening toothpaste, professional whitening at the dentist's office, custom-made whitening trays, whitening strips and mass market bleaching whiteners.
Let's talk about hydrogen peroxide for a couple of minutes, especially how it recounts to your teeth, and how to safely use it for general dental care.
To begin, Hydrogen Peroxide is a fairly common product and I can bet you have come across it or heard about it. Hydrogen Peroxide has been used by people for many years as an antiseptic or disinfectant. Chemically, it is considered a close element to water, well; it is simply water with an extra molecule of oxygen (H2O2). This does not mean it is safe to drink, obviously.
Though Hydrogen Peroxide can be used in a variety of ways and is used in the manufacture of a myriad of products in the market, its most prominence use must be in the areas of teeth whitening, I must say. For starters, Hydrogen Peroxide is a bleaching agent, and can most certainly aid in whitening teeth. Whitening products can be administered by dentists, dispensed by dentists for home use, or can be purchased over-the-counter (OTC). They are mainly categorized into two major groups. The first is Peroxide-containing bleaching agents and the second is whitening toothpaste. Therefore, it is true to say that, Hydrogen Peroxide as a teeth whitening agent is by no means a myth buster, it is scientifically proven.
Did you know that Hydrogen Peroxide is universally sold in brown bottles? Why? This is because light is the nemesis to Hydrogen Peroxide, therefore the brown bottles are formulated to keep the light at bay and avoid turning the Hydrogen Peroxide to water, there is a lot of chemistry that goes behind that I would rather not get into at the moment. Back to our topic at hand, how can you use Hydrogen Peroxide to whiten teeth?
How teeth whitening works
Whitening can either be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic whitening refers to whitening on the inner part of the tooth. This process involves soaking up hydrogen peroxide gel (the whitening bleach or gel). When the inner part of the tooth is whitened, the color is reflected through the outer enamel making teeth look both whiter and brighter. This is the skill applied in in-clinic professional whitening. On the other hand, extrinsic whitening involves the removal of stains on the outer part of the teeth – enamel. This is either done by polishing white toothpaste or with a polish by a dentist.
Certainly, the fastest, easiest way to whiten your teeth is to have the procedure performed by a dentist. In a clinic teeth whitening, the process involves the application of a professional-grade whitening agent along with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide on your teeth. An intense light or laser is then illuminated on the solution to activate the bleaching process. The bleaching process takes between one to two hours to complete the whitening effect, the results are impressively immediate and a huge change and long-term pearly smile can be seen. In addition to the great perks of better and faster results, the in-clinic whitening is the safest form of tooth bleaching available today. This is because, prior to application of the professional-grade whitening agent and the concentrated hydrogen peroxide, the dentist protects the gum tissues by the application of a gel or isolation with a rubber dam. This reduces the risk of damaging your gums during the process.
For optimum results for that picture perfect smile, regular teeth whitening appointments may have to be scheduled to achieve optimum whitening. High concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide of about 25% to 40% used together with a laser or light for effect are very effective in teeth whitening as well as increasing faster and better chances to achieve the desired results.
The second option for professional whitening is a whitening product provided by the dentist for home application. It comprises of whitening trays with a whitening solution with little concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide. You can whiten your teeth in the privacy of your own home, though; it takes longer to achieve the desired effects due to less concentration of the whitening agents.
Needless to say, Hydrogen Peroxide is a powerful oxidant, thus, if administered as a bleaching agent in high concentrations without the protection of the gums and tissues, it can cause catastrophic effects. You can argue that dental whitening products do contain hydrogen peroxide, yes they do, but they are packaged in such a way that they only make contact with the teeth. This goes without saying; a lot of precaution needs to be taken when using Hydrogen Peroxide.

Date Hiked:
Best Season: Spring
Check Trail Conditions:
- Distance:
- Elevation Gain:
- Route Type:
- Trail Type:
- Difficulty: Easy
On December 30th, Jeff and I met (slightly surpassing) our goal to hike 200 miles in 2011. We have trekked through some pretty spectacular scenery this past year, all of varying difficulty, topography, climates and ecosystems. While we don't regret any of the trails we've traversed, some are much more likely to be revisited by on future hikes.
This New Year's weekend, the two of us agreed upon a handful of hikes that stand out as our absolute favorites of 2011.
Favorite Hikes of 2011
These are listed in no particular order.
Mount San Jacinto via Mountain Station
A great 10 mile hike to Mount San Jacinto, the second highest peak in Southern California. It's not easy, but achievable for anyone in decent condition if you take the route from the Palm Springs Tram. Jeff and I completed this hike on July 2, 2011, and we both agree that this is probably the most diverse beautiful trail we have ever hiked. We plan to do it again in 2012 — bringing friends along this time.
- Date Hiked: July 2, 2011
- Distance: 9.85 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 2,409 feet
- Kid-Friendly: No (but rare exceptions)
- Dog-Friendly: No
Mount Baldy via the Notch and Devil's Backbone
A great hike to a great Southern California peak. This strenuous (6.3 mile, 2,300 ft elevation gain) hike to the the top of Mt Baldy it totally worth it, and is quite popular. We first did this hike in 2009, and repeated it this year with a group of friends. This is one of those super cool fun rugged trails that we would welcome doing every year.
- Date Hiked: June 18, 2011
- Distance: 6.34 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 2,315 feet
- Kid-Friendly: Yes (if experienced)
- Dog-Friendly: No (unless you hike up to the Notch)
Mount Baldy Notch Full Moon Hike
During the summer months (no snow), the Mt. Baldy Ski Lift runs a Moonlight Hike & BBQ package on the first Friday before the full moon each month. For $20 per person, you get a decent multi-course BBQ dinner at Top of the Notch Restaurant on Mt. Baldy, killer views, and the way cool experience of hiking at night by moonlight.
We couldn't fit this into our schedule until the final hike of the season (October 7th), so we aren't planning to publish our write-up until closer to next season (when it's warmer). But Mt. Baldy announced last week a special date this coming Friday, January 6, 2012. We were freezing cold at the notch the night of October 7th (we had to eat outside because of our dog), so we can only imagine how cold it will be up there this Friday.
- Date Hiked: October 7, 2011
- Distance: 4.4 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 1,352 feet
- Kid-Friendly: Yes
- Dog-Friendly: Yes
Ice House Canyon to Timber Mountain
Ice House Canyon is a beautiful hike, and if you do the full loop we did, has a tremendous variety of terrain and scenery. If you're in halfway decent shape, it's a great trail! Since Jeff and I started hiking together in 2008, we kept hearing about Ice House Canyon, so we were thrilled to tackle it in 2011 — even though our knees were shot by the end.
- Date Hiked: June 4, 2011
- Distance: 11.9 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 3,388 feet
- Kid-Friendly: Yes (if experienced)
- Dog-Friendly: Yes
Devil's Chair via Devil's Punchbowl
A great 7.74 mile dog-friendly hike into a geological wonderland called Devil's Punchbowl out to the Devil's Chair, right on top of the San Andreas Fault. Located where the Mojave Desert meets the Angeles National Forest, the rock formations and landscape are amazing, and if you pick up the visitor's guide at the visitor's center or research it in advance, quite educational!
- Date Hiked: April 9, 2011
- Distance: 7.74 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 622 feet
- Kid-Friendly: No (unless experienced)
- Dog-Friendly: Yes
Bonita Falls in Lytle Creek
Bonita Falls on the South Fork of Lytle Creek: A short, but deceivingly difficult, 2.8 mile hike to the 2nd highest waterfall in Southern California. Lots of boulder hopping and some stream crossing leads to a beautiful waterfall less than a mile off the road in the San Bernardino National Forest.
- Date Hiked: February 21, 2011
- Distance: 2.8 miles round-trip
- Elevation Gain: 660 feet
- Kid-Friendly: Yes
- Dog-Friendly: Yes
Hikes We Wish We'd Done (Again) in 2011
Sure, I can add feats such as Whitney and Half Dome on this list, but those were never realistic options for us — so, why bother. And although they're on our "in the next couple years" list, we also knew from the start that Santiago Peak, San Gorgornio, and Wilson wouldn't make our 2011 cut.
But, the following are hikes we either attempted or meant to do, and just didn't fit into our hiking schedule last year.
- Bridge to Nowhere: We hiked this super cool spectacular trail in 2009, but the heavy spring rains and high water levels, and then the hot summer temps and thunderstorms kept us away this year. Next year, with friends.
- Mount Baden Powell: We attempted this beautiful hike in May, but the late heavy snow (up to our thighs, no trail visible) this year forced us to turn back about 1 mile from the summit. And we just never fit it back in before summer temps and thunderstorms kicked in. Next year, with friends.

Rising Star Mixologist Ran Duan of The Baldwin Bar - Biography
Woburn, MA
If mixology street cred tends to be earned by working one's way up from barback at an acclaimed urban cocktail temple, Ran Duan is a serious exception to the rule. Proprietor of The Baldwin at Sichuan Garden II, Duan was born in the Sichuan Province, and earned his stripes—and a lot of instant national attention—behind the bar of the family restaurant in Woburn, Massachusetts.
Moving to the States before he was 10, Duan found himself in Brookline, where his parents opened their first spot, Sichuan Garden, in 1994. By 2009, Duan was 22 and graduating from Johnson & Wales with a degree in hospitality. It may not have been his original plan, but he ended up back in the family business, landing behind the bar at Sichuan Garden II, a converted three-story mansion built in 1661. There, Duan honed his mixing craft and style, eventually hired his crew, and began The Baldwin Bar.
If the house already had acclaim, Duan brought more. By 26, he earned a mention in Gaz Regan's "Annual Manual for Bartenders," and by 27, he was consulting on bar programs for restaurants and spirits companies, hosting culinary-cocktail pop-ups, and working a hot streak in the competition circuit. Duan was recently the winner of Bacardi's 2015 Legacy USA Cocktail competition, as well as the 2014 USA Bombay Sapphire Most Imaginative Bartender—a title that also got him on the cover of GQ magazine as one of the men of the year. Later this year, Duan will represent the United States in the global finals of the Bacardi Legacy and Bombay Sapphire Most Imaginative Bartender competition.

The rector of Sts. Simon and Jude Cathedral in Phoenix decided on a new policy – no girl altar servers at the Masses. Fr. John Lankeit, explained his decision from several perspectives: historically, that girls never used to be allowed to serve; philosophically, that men and women are different, priesthood is a male role and that altar serving is connected to priesthood; and practically, that this decision would place young men in a position to be more likely to consider the priesthood, which is a priority for the Catholic Church today.
The editors at America magazine picked up the story from the opposite angle; the editors petition to Save the Altar Girls. The Phoenix cathedral policy is bad, they say, because it undermines the equality of all the baptized, it is a form of discrimination that relegates women to second-class citizens in the Church, it will not go over well with parents who want their daughters to have the same opportunity as their sons, and by making priesthood more exclusive it will hurt vocations.
I only want to make one observation. The Phoenix priest is operating out of the conviction that the question on women priests has been closed: only men can be ordained priests. You can explore that further here. Since serving is connected to what the priest does at the altar (in a psychological way, not necessarily in a theological way) it makes sense to him that we should reserve the ministry of altar server to boys.
The editors of America magazine recognize that the girl altar severs issue is related to female ordination, making a statement that boggles the mind: "Inevitably the issue of women's roles in the church raises the question of women's ordination to the priesthood…but since Pope Benedict XVI, despite continued agitation, has reaffirmed the policy of John Paul II to allow no discussion of the topic, the matter of altar servers must be considered a separate and independent issue." It is not accurate to say the this is a policy of the Pope: the Catholic Church in general, lay and clergy, has come to the conclusion that a female priesthood is not possible. Although the editors of America magazine claim the issues "must be considered separate", in the same sentence they note that the issues are not separate. The argument that excluding girls from serving undermine their dignity would also compel the Church to ordain women priests, because refusing to do so would undermine the dignity of women. If, however, women's dignity is not diminished by a male priesthood, then neither is it undermined by only boys serving at Mass.
I truly believe that the editors of America magazine are seeing the matter from the wrong side, and that a male priesthood affirms the dignity of women. If women were sitting at a dinner table, being served by men, we would not think that the situation undermines the dignity of women but rather that it affirms it. As Jesus says, who is greater, the one who sits at table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? (Luke 22:7). The priest, and the altar server, offer their service to the whole congregation: they are serving men and women. There is something valuable about teaching young men to serve, and I think that women need to be more willing to be served, whether at the Mass or in daily life.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Higher Education Administration Program at Auburn University. In that role, I also serve as the program coordinator for the PhD/MEd and Certificate in College/University Teaching graduate programs. My Ph.D. is in Teaching & Learning, Higher Education from the University of North Dakota. I have a MEd in Adult Education from Westminster College with a certification in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). My research interests focus on identifying the institutional practices, processes, and discourses that coordinate the experiences of women and underrepresented groups in higher education, explored through a critical lens. My areas of research include Women in Higher Education, STEM in Higher Education, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). I am a qualitative methodologist, with a focus on ethnographic and discourse methods of inquiry. My research questions seek to understand how pedagogy, classroom climate, institutional environment, curriculum, and faculty characteristics inform student experiences, and how the institution coordinates those factors through translocal practices. I received the 2019 NASPA Ruth Strang award for research concerning women in higher education and was the first recipient of the Gloria Nathanson Research Fund for International Research.
Currently, I am conducting research to validate my conceptual model for social justice-based curriculum design, a Postcolonial Approach to Curriculum Design. Through that research, I am identifying and developing competencies for Higher Education Practitioners and Outdoors Educators to inform graduate curriculum and program development. Second, I am continuing research on the institutional factors that perpetuate gender inequities in STEM in higher education through a focus on the transition experiences for women transitioning to STEM studies (i.e., new freshmen, transfer students, undergraduate to graduate). Finally, with co-author Dr. C. Casey Ozaki, I am working on a three-volume edited set to be published on Palgrave titled Teaching and Learning for Social Justice and Equity in Education. If you are interested in collaborating or would like to speak more about any of these or past projects, please contact me.

Beautifully designed costume jewellery can be an impressive fashion accessory which adds to the overall effect of an outfit. Silver is a similar, if not as dramatic story. Of course gold is seen as much more of an investment as opposed to silver jewelry but fine silver jewelry has indeed carved a niche for itself over the last few years. Statement jewellery is highly popular and can cost substantial amounts. They used to design, stitch and create their own clothes just to stand out from others. Women always love to beautify themselves using different sort of adornments. Wholesale costume jewellery use cheaper materials such as glass and plastic in place of gold or platinum. A flash can be used inside or out to lift shadows and provide illumination. On the other hand it is said that even if you lose a pair of this fashion jewellery you do not get as much bogged as you would have got if you would have lost the designer jewellery. No other accessory is as impactful as jewellery that combines fine quality and good workmanship. What better to make you the center of attraction than vintage costume jewelry. Then, finally holding the ruler over your mouth, do your lips seem quite thin and straight (angular), or are they fuller and more contoured? Hoop and stud earrings remain popular as well as chandeliers and dangles. As a market, jewellery has always been big business and the opportunity to purchase wholesale jewellery offers an excellent opportunity to enter into the market. Belly button rings are probably the most popular item in the body jewelry line. As you search the internet for the pieces you really want or need, you may find that auction sites that offer buy now options will be very useful to you. If you want to inject some sparkle then a crystal necklace or choker is perfect to add drama to a simple neckline. If you do feel like a change then you can also swap your pieces with friends and family without worrying about getting like for like. Precious metals and stones such as silver, gold and platinum, cannot be magnetized at all. Start the one you love served by the fundamental chain or bracelet necessary and possibly a gem, bead or charm to commemorate the occasion, with every holiday, birthday or function later on, use individuals possibilities to increase it with a lot more charms and beads. They like to imitate their favourite onscreen idol. Surprise the woman you love with designer jewellery. Real shell cameos have a matte look to them, not a glossy or shiny look that a lot of vintage plastic cameos have. They are commonly use in fashion and fashion events. As the name implies, vintage costume jewellery is old imitation jewellery.
