Domnall mac Ailpín (Modern Gaelic: Dòmhnall mac Ailpein,[1] anglicised sometimes as Donald MacAlpin, and known in most modern regnal lists as Donald I); (812 – 13 April 862) was king of the Picts from 858 to 862. He followed his brother Kenneth I to the Pictish throne.
1 Reign
The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says that Domnall reigned for four years, matching the notices in the Annals of Ulster of his brother's death in February 858 and his own in April 862.[2] The Chronicle notes:
In his time the Gaels with their king made the rights and laws of the kingdom, [that are called the laws] of Áed, Eochaid's son in Forteviot.[3]
The laws of Áed Find are entirely lost, but it has been assumed that, like the laws attributed to Giric and Constantine II (Causantín mac Áeda), these related to the church and in particular to granting the privileges and immunities common elsewhere.[4] The significance of Forteviot as the site of this law-making, along with Kenneth's death there and Constantine's later gathering at nearby Scone, may point to this as being the heartland of the sons of Alpín's support.
The Chronicle of Melrose says of Domnall, "in war he was a vigorous soldier ... he is said to have been assassinated at Scone."[5] No other source reports Domnall's death by violence.
The Prophecy of Berchán may refer to Domnall in stanzas 123–124:
Evil will be Scotland's lot because of [the death of Kenneth MacAlpin]; long will it be until his like will come. Long until the king takes [sovereignty], the wanton son of the foreign wife. He will be three years in the kingdom and three months (although thou countest them). His tombstone will be above Loch Awe. He dies of disease.[6]
Although Domnall is generally been supposed to have been childless, it has been suggested that Giric was a son of Domnall, reading his patronym as mac Domnaill rather than the commonly supposed mac Dúngail.[7] This, however, is not widely accepted.[8]
Domnall died, either at the palace of Cinnbelachoir (location unknown), or at Rathinveralmond (also unknown, and may be the same place, presumed to be near the junction of the Almond and the Tay, near Scone).[9] He was buried on Iona.

Your sincerity and stewardship of the NU (not self-promotion) is what comes through on here. Pics and fish stories are part of the fun, no harm done there. Nice to hear a fly I tied was part of your success story by the way. I think you are doing a great thing here, you are entertaining and educating with what you are posting.
When folks hire you, they will know what you are all about and they will leave the river with much more that a few fish stories.
I love your educational approach and "Zen" type of philosophy! There are many directions to help our river and all conservation related issues... but most importantly is the self-awareness you have stated here! I think this is a great start to protect the precious water and habitat, also influence other people to have the same attitude. Thanks for sharing your thought... looking forward to read more!
Absolutely love the blog. I'm adding it to my blog roll. Hopefully someday I can come fish with you!

Q: How can I remove a directory with the name of '--' (single-quotes are part of the name) A badly-written script created a directory named '--' (including the single quotes) in my home directory.
When I cd to that directory, I am brought back to my home directory.
I'd like to remove that item, but cannot figure out how to do it. Escaping some or all of the characters in the directory name,  returns No such file or directory.
Linux version
Linux version 5.11.0-1022-aws (buildd@lgw01-amd64-036) (gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.34) #23~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 15 14:03:19 UTC 2021

A: My preferred method of dealing with filenames that cannot be typed or tab-completed (nonprinting characters for instance) is to delete them by inode. The ls flag -i adds each file's inode number to the output.
$ ls
bar.c  foo.c

$ ls -i
5646079 bar.c  5642988 foo.c

$ find . -maxdepth 1 -inum 5642988 -delete

$ ls
bar.c

Here is an example with a file whose name consists of unprintable characters only:
$ ls -il
total 0
5646079 -rw-rw-r-- 1 oem oem 0 Dec 16 09:49 bar.c
5642988 -rw-rw-r-- 1 oem oem 0 Dec 16 10:02 foo.c
5646169 -rw-rw-r-- 1 oem oem 0 Dec 16 10:05

$ find . -maxdepth 1 -inum 5646169 -delete

$ ls -il
total 0
5646079 -rw-rw-r-- 1 oem oem 0 Dec 16 09:49 bar.c
5642988 -rw-rw-r-- 1 oem oem 0 Dec 16 10:02 foo.c

Do note that the order of the arguments to find is important.
Also, if there are multiple hard links to the file in the same directory, this will remove them all.

A: In your case, since you actually have the quotes as part of the name, you can just do:
rm -r \'--\'

Or
rmdir \'--\'

A more common situation is that the quotes are not part of the name so you also need to deal with the fact that the name looks like an option (starts with a -). In such cases, the classic approaches are:

*

*Use -- to signify the end of options so that anything after the -- will not be parsed as an option even if it starts with -:
 rmdir -- "'--'"

*Use a full path or just ./ (but you also need to quote the name to protect the ' from the shell):
 rmdir ./"'--'"

*Use GNU find:
 find . -name "'--'" -delete

*Use something else. Like Perl:
 perl -e "rmdir(\"'--'\")"

Note that all of the above assume the directory is empty. If it isn't, just use one of these instead:
rm -r ./"'--'"

or
rm -r -- "'--'"

A: For "funny" names with quotes, backslashes, spaces, newlines etc, as the other answers show, quoting and/or escaping is needed.
However, if you are trying to use the filename interactively from the terminal, instead of a script, tab completion can be really helpful in doing the quoting for you.
With the directory name you have, just type:
rm -r \'<tab>

where <tab> is the tab key, on the left of letter Q on the keyboard. We use \' to escape the first single quote character, since it is a special character.
If there aren't any other files/directories starting with a single quote character, bash will complete the file name, correctly escaped:
rm -r \'--\'/

Note: There seems to not be a need to add the 'end-of-options' sequence -- as suggested by the other answers, because the first letter of the filename is not a - minus character.

A: The GNU coreutils version of ls (which is what you're likely to see on Linux) has the --quoting-style option, which controls how it shows names with unprintable or otherwise funny characters. If set to shell-escape, it uses the various shell quotes to make the output more readable and valid as input to a shell. That output can be copypasted to the shell command line as an argument to rm.
Though note that it uses $'...' quotes to make special characters more readable, and while most shells support it by now, not all might. In particular, Dash, the shell used as /bin/sh on Debian and Ubuntu, doesn't seem to support it. Bash, ksh and zsh definitely do, though.
Here, the second file is your '--', quoted with double quotes, and the other one is an abomination with characters like Ctrl-A, tab, newline, a single quote and a trailing space. There it uses $'..' and backslash-escapes.
$ ls --quoting-style=shell-escape -1
''$'\001\t'\''foo'$'\n''bar '
"'--'"

(ls doesn't seem to try to minimize the output much, the first could be printed as just $'\001\t\'foo\nbar ')
Either or both can be removed by using that output:
$ rm -- ''$'\001\t'\''foo'$'\n''bar '
$ rm -- "'--'"

Note that you still need to use -- if the filename starts with a dash, even if ls shows that dash quoted.
I think shell-escape is also the default quoting style used by recent-ish versions of ls (at least the output looks like it), so you don't even actually need to spell out the long option.

A: $ mkdir -- \'--\'
$ ls
'--'
$ rmdir -- \'--\'
$ ls
$

A: First off: NEVER use an unconditional and destructive delete when trying to do something like this.  If you get it wrong, it could delete many things.  Use either rm -i <name> or rmdir <name>
Second: the fact that cding to it brings you back to your home directory means you are writing cd '--' which the shell translates to cd --, then considers the -- to be the end of the option arguments.  You might try cd -- -- or cd ./--.  A ./ on the beginning of a filename will prevent it being interpreted as an option.
Third: command completion is your friend.  In bash or tcsh (and probably several other shells), if you get the first character or two in place and press TAB, it will either fill in the rest or perhaps list the choices.  Try rmdir ./\' or rmdir ./-, either way followed by a tab.  If it gets you the right name, the rmdir should succeed.
Fourth: the single-quotes you are seeing might be part of the name, or might be an artifact of how you are listing the files.  So your final command should probably be either rmdir ./-- or rmdir ./\'--\'.

Both the Apple Watch and MacBook have become available for order through the online portal (in varying capacities), as weeks of waiting have come to an end following initial reviews. Apple Watch pre-orders in particular have been anticipated since the product's initial announcement in September of last year.
For the Apple Watch, interested customers are now able to put in a pre-order for the model they're interested in, and then orders will begin shipping on April 24. In-store demonstrations of the device will begin today, as stores across the countries start getting stock. However, buyers will be told to make use of the online portal to pre-order – you won't be able to buy in-store.
In the case of the 12-inch MacBook (the ultra-thin model with a Retina display), you'll be able to buy it now and have it shipping soon. Store availability is expected to start as of today.
As of now, shipping times are relatively tame, but as the night goes on and the next day begins it's to be expected that those expected dates will slide further as availability becomes scarcer.

Preliminary characterization of a CdZnTe photon detector for BNCT-SPECT

The effectiveness of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) treatment depends on the amount of radiation dose deposited locally by the reaction 10B(n,α)7Li in the tumour; however, the local and real time measurement of this quantity during the neutron irradiation is a big challenge. To evaluate the dose it is necessary to know the spatial distribution of the 10B concentration and thermal neutron flux in the tissue during the irradiation. One technique to solve this problem relies on the on-line detection of the 478 keV 7Li de-excitation photons that can be used to map the spatial distribution of the reaction rate of the 10B(n,α)7Li. The present work has been developed within a project aiming to develop a Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) system based on CdZnTe (CZT) semiconductor detector. This work studied the performances of a 5×5×20mm3 CZT prototype detector focusing on the energy resolution and detection efficiency inside the energy range 200–1400 keV. The energy resolution at 478 keV is ∼3% and the detection efficiency is around 6%. These preliminary results confirms the feasibility of a CZT detector as a sensitive unit for a BNCT-SPECT imaging system.

This work studied the performances of a 5×5×20mm3 CZT prototype detector focusing on the energy resolution and detection efficiency inside the energy range 200–1400 keV. The energy resolution at 478 keV is ∼3% and the detection efficiency is around 6%. These preliminary results confirms the feasibility of a CZT detector as a sensitive unit for a BNCT-SPECT imaging system.

Lenten Banner
The banner hanging in the front of the sanctuary represents the wilderness, reminding us of the forty days that Jesus spent there, fasting and being tempted by the devil.
The palms are for Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the purple, the color of royalty is a reference to Christ the King. The variety of purples and the black lettering remind us of the pain, suffering and passion that we remember as we pray during this season.
Bordering the banner is the color of white that represents the anticipation of the Easter season.

The History of Palm Sunday
The celebration of Palm Sunday originated in the Jerusalem Church, around the late fourth century. The early Palm Sunday ceremony consisted of prayers, hymns, and sermons recited by the clergy while the people walked to various holy sites throughout the city.
At the final site, the place where Christ ascended into heaven, the clergy would read from the gospels concerning the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. In the early evening they would return to the city reciting: "Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord." The children would carry palm and olive branches as the people returned through the city back to the church, where they would hold evening services.
By the fifth century, the Palm Sunday celebration had spread as far as Constantinople. Changes made in the sixth and seventh centuries resulted in two new Palm Sunday traditions - the ritual blessing of the palms, and a morning procession instead of an evening one. Adopted by the Western Church in the eighth century, the celebration received the name "Dominica in Palmis," or "Palm Sunday".

Bruce Arians' 50-year coaching career nearly began at West York junior high
Rob Rose
Lou Orndorff will remember that interview for the West York junior high football coach position for as long as he lives.
Orndorff's assistant coach and West York High graduate John Sprenkle heard from a former teammate of his at Virginia Tech who was looking to get into coaching and wanted to know if the program needed some help. Sprenkle told Orndorff the man would be a good fit and the pair decided to bring him in for a meeting.
The former Bulldogs' coach recalls the conversation went well, although the interviewee was a little nervous during his first opportunity to receive a coaching position. Orndorff's other memory of the meeting was a fashion choice by the man who since has become known for the unique Kangol hats he wears on NFL sidelines.
"I'll always remember him coming down the hallway in that cream-colored suit," Orndorff said with a laugh.
Orndorff, Sprenkle and longtime West York coach Terry Bupp, who was an assistant coach at the time, were ready to extend an offer to the man, but a different opportunity was presented that changed the trajectory of his career.
Instead of returning to the town he grew up in, 1970 York High graduate Bruce Arians accepted an offer to join the Virginia Tech staff as a graduate assistant in 1975 and launched a coaching career that has spanned 50 years and will see him lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — who wore creamsicle-colored jerseys in the '70s — onto the field at Super Bowl LV.
"Thank God he didn't hire me because I went back and started my coaching career at Virginia Tech, and here we are," Arians said during Super Bowl Media Day. "Crazy things happen in the coaching business and that was one of them, but I love Terry Bupp to death."
Although the two-time NFL Coach of the Year ended up going in a different direction, Arians and Bupp stayed in touch over the years. Bupp, also a York High graduate, made trips to see Arians while he was the head coach at Temple University and an offensive assistant with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While Bupp was visiting family during Arians' tenure as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, the old friends met up once again. Arians invited Bupp, his son Troy and grandson Tate, to his home and to a Cardinals' game.
"It's always nice to have someone you know from your school in the NFL," Bupp said.
Bupp wasn't the only York High graduate and notable name to make a trip out west to see Arians. Former York Mayor Kim Bracey traveled to Arizona to secure a financial commitment from Arians for a project they had spoken about years earlier.
Arians announces city parks conservancy
Bracey got a tour of the Cardinals' facility and left with $100,000 in funding for the creation of the York City Parks Conservancy. Arians said at the time that he wouldn't be where he was without the park he grew up playing sports at in the town he calls home, despite being born in New Jersey.
"I'm excited for him and where he's at," Bracey said. "We're just happy to know that he recognizes us that way."
Bracey connected Arians and York College early in 2020, and Tampa Bay's coach was set to give the commencement address to the Spartan seniors in May and receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters before the pandemic derailed the ceremony.
Arians' family still lives in the area and will travel to Florida — on a plane sent by the Buccaneers — to cheer on the local legend as he tries to claim his third Super Bowl ring and first as a head coach.
Although Arians decided against a return to York back in 1975, Orndorff and Bupp have followed Arians' career at each of the 14 stops it took for him to reach this moment and enjoyed watching him succeed at the sport's highest level.
Arians' immediate family will be in Florida with him, but many TVs in York will be tuned in Sunday to see the culmination of a 50-year football career that began in and almost never left his hometown.
"Central Pennsylvania, York is home," Arians said. "We go back as much as we can. I can't wait to get mom and my brothers and sisters all down here for the game. We got so many friends back in York that we played (sports) with growing up. They're all over the place, but we stay in touch. It's home, it's roots."

Most writers are aware that the fictional characters Ebeneezer Scrooge (Charles Dickens), Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll) and Tintin (Georges Remi, who wrote under the pen name Hergé) were based on real people. As was Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray, Alfred Hitchcock's Norman Bates, and J.K. Rowling's Serverus Snape.
Many fictional writers glean certain personality traits from those around them. But at what point does 'inspiration' cross the line into defamation, and is sticking as much to your own imagination as possible the safest course of action?
Imagine finding this inside a dark cave!
The claw was, in fact, found in a cave three decades ago, and looks exactly like one imagines a demon claw would look.
It's actually the 3,300-year-old mummified remains of an upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus), a species of large prehistoric bird endemic to New Zealand that had disappeared from existence centuries earlier.

Maritime flags
Jack of the United States
Jack flown by U.S. naval vessels
The First Navy Jack
13 horizontal stripes of alternating red and white, charged with a rattlesnake and inscribed on the lowest white stripe: "DONT TREAD ON ME" [sic].
Jack flown by other U.S. federal and civilian vessels
50 white stars on a blue field in 9 rows, alternating between 6 and 5 stars, was used as the U.S. Navy Jack prior to September 11, 2002.
The jack of the United States of America is a maritime flag representing United States nationality flown on the jackstaff in the bow of American vessels. The U.S. Navy is a prime user of jacks, but they are also used by ships of the U.S. Coast Guard, Military Sealift Command, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other governmental entities. "The jack is flown on the bow (front) of a ship and the ensign is flown on the stern (rear) of a ship when anchored or moored. Once under way, the ensign is flown from the main mast."[1]
2 Historical progression of designs
The primary jack design until September 11, 2002 was the blue canton with stars (the "union") from the U.S. national ensign. Since September 2002, the U.S. Navy has made use of the so-called First Navy Jack. However, the standard U.S. jack (i.e., 50 white stars on a blue field) continues to be used as the jack by vessels of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Military Sealift Command, and NOAA, to name but a few federal agencies. The standard 50-star jack continues to be used by U.S. civilian ships and by U.S. yachts as well. The blue, starred jack is referred to as the Union Jack, not to be confused with the British Union Jack of the same name. Like the ensign, the number of stars on the jack has increased with each state admitted into the union. Rules for flying the jack are similar to the national ensign, except that the jack is only worn at the bow when the ship is anchored, made fast or alongside.
Since September 11, 2002, the U.S. Navy has instead flown the First Navy Jack, a flag bearing 13 red and white stripes, a rattlesnake and the motto "DONT TREAD ON ME" [sic], coming from the first jacks supposedly used by the U.S. Navy during the Revolutionary War. It is flown from the jackstaff from 08:00 to sunset while U.S. Navy ships are moored or at anchor. It is required to be the same size as the union of the ensign being flown from the stern of the ship. It is also flown from the yardarm during a general court-martial or court of inquiry.[2] During times when the ensign is at half mast, the jack is also at half mast. The jack is hoisted smartly and lowered ceremoniously in the same manner as the ensign, however the jack is not dipped when the ensign is dipped.[3]
Some exceptions to the use of the Union Jack have occurred in the case of the U.S. Navy, the most prominent being the use of the First Navy Jack by the U.S. Navy in honor of the country's Bicentennial and subsequently.[4] On June 3, 1999, the Secretary of the Navy authorized the flying of the Submarine Centennial Jack aboard U.S. Navy submarines and sub tenders during the year 2000.[5]
Historical progression of designs[edit | edit source]
Dates in general use

15 May 1, 1795 – July 3, 1818 Quasi War, War of 1812
20 July 4, 1818 – July 3, 1819

48 July 4, 1912 – July 3, 1959 World War I and World War II
50 July 4, 1960—October 12, 1975[4]
January 1, 1977—Sept 11, 2002[4][6] From 1980, the oldest active ship in the U.S. Navy, the USS Constitution, flies the First Navy Jack instead[4]
Sept 11, 2002 — MSC and non-Navy vessels
First Navy Jack October 13, 1975—December 31, 1976[4] United States Navy bicentennial and United States Bicentennial
August 18, 1980[4]— The active commissioned ship having the longest total period as active displays the rattlesnake jack in place of the U.S. union jack until decommissioned or transferred to inactive status, where upon the next such ship inherits the honor. Currently USS Nimitz (CVN-68).
Sept 11, 2002[6]— War on Terrorism
U.S. Navy vessels; Military Sealift Command (MSC) and non-U.S. Navy American vessels (e.g., U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, etc.) continue to fly the Union Jack

The survivors from the original Left 4 Dead will finally meet the survivors from Left 4 Dead 2 this spring in the first add-on for Left 4 Dead 2. Players will meet with the original Left 4 Dead survivors in a small town in rural Georgia in a campaign that takes place after the Dead Center chapter. The Passing also promises a new melee weapon, a new firearm, a new uncommon common infected, new arenas for versus, survival, and scavenge mode, and an entirely new co-operative gameplay mode.
Traditionally, PC gamers have been treated to free content updates for Valve games, but Valve is labeling The Passing an "add-on," and the press release states "pricing will be announced closer to launch." So PC gamers will probably have to pony up some coin.
But I already feel like I owe Valve for all the laughs they've provided with free Team Fortress 2 content, so I don't mind paying for a fresh versus map or two and some new weapons. The rest of the content is just gravy.


... Power learned in April while doing research for a yet-to-be-published book titled You Are Being Watched that for nearly a decade the city's popular, family-oriented fitness centre has had closed-circuit television cameras in its men's change rooms. There are no cameras in the toilets or urinals.
The cameras were installed in 1997 after a rash of thefts and have remained, despite evolution in the province's privacy laws.
Power launched a letter-writing campaign to Alberta government officials and plans to do a Michael Moore-esque literary documentary of Calgarians' reaction to the issue. He wants city residents who learned after the fact that their children were videotaped to write to him.
''I don't care if it's the police, a priest or the prime minister I don't want to be taped and I don't want my children taped,'' said the 49-year-old father of four.

The R&D tax credit is just one of many federal tax strategies that may be available to you. CLA's industry-focused professionals can help. Contact CLA today.


Bathinda District of Punjab State was part of one of the oldest civilizations of the world the great Indus Valley Civilization. The district has witnessed many ups and downs of the various rulers and dynasties who ruled Bathinda. Though Bathinda was part of the princely State of Patiala after independence of India, it became one of the pioneer places of India that helped in accelerating the post-independence industrial growth of India. Bathinda has become center of many industrial developments and it prides itself in having fertilizer plant, oil refineries and thermal power plants. Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power Plant in Bathinda is one of the best examples of how the district has excelled itself in reaching the heights of industrial growth.
Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power Plant Bathinda was set up to fill in the gap between the demand and supply of electricity in major parts of Punjab. The main requirement of power in Punjab was for irrigation and when this thermal power plant was set up in Bathinda it could meet up the huge power demands of the state. The foundation of this thermal power plant was laid in 1969 on 19th November. The occasion of was the 500th birth anniversary of founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
The power plant is located on the Bathinda-Malout Road. The 1st unit of this plant started working in 1974 in the month of September. The second unit started working in 1975 September, the third unit started working in March 1978 and the fourth unit started working in 1979 January. The power supplied from this power plant mainly meets the industry and agricultural needs of the state.
Apart from meeting up the electrical needs of the state, Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power Plant has become an important attraction for the locals as well as tourists. The lakes of Thermal Power Plant are visited by many people daily. They come here to enjoy the serenity and cool and pleasant weather. Boating in these lakes is a favorite pastime for the visitors here.
Like rest of India, the population of Punjab also kept on increasing day by day and thus it created a very wide gap between the demand for the power and availability of power. This is the most important reason why Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power Plant was set up in Bathinda, Punjab. Bathinda was the favorite choice for setting up of this thermal power plant because this district has well-connected railway links with other parts of Punjab and most of the north India.
Bathinda is well-connected with the rest of India as well. Well established railway links ensures smooth and fast transportation of fuel (coal) for power generation. The availability of canals in Bathinda District Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power Plant is the first thermal project of the state.
Bathinda was chosen because the initial cost of setting up of the thermal project was low as compared to many other places and the gestation period of the project was also less as compared to other power generating units. The 4 units of this power plant produces 110 MW each thus in total the production is about 440 MW of power. The total cost of setting up this power plant is Rs. 115 crores.
GNDTP is a thermal power plant that is mainly a coal-based thermal plant. The coal used for the thermal plant come as large pieces which get reduced in size when put into primary crushers. The coal that is reduced into size is sent to the secondary crushers so that these pieces could be further broken down into small size of about 20 mm as needed by the plant. The coal is then sent to the boilers and it is burnt in there. There are pipes within the boiler which carry water. Due to combustion of the coal, the heat is produced and the water inside the boiler pipes changes into steam. This steam then runs the turbine. As the turbine starts rotating, the generator shaft is also rotated. In this way, electric supply is produced into three phases.


As part of the build-up to his sophomore release Hall of Fame: Memoirs of a Detroit Player, Big Sean has launched a new webseries in which he talks about his beliefs and inspiration, and in the first instalment, titled 'Imagination', he ruminates on how he turned his dreams of making it out of Motown into reality.
The clip shows behind-the-scenes footage of Sean on tour and features appearances from Wiz Khalifa, Common, Paul Wall, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill and many more. At one stage we see the Detroit rapper trying to formulate his opening verse from "Mercy" with Pusha T. Along the way Sean mentions a long list of rappers and groups who inspired him to rap. His list includes the likes of Master P and Big Tymers alongside Biggie, Pac, Mase and Rocafella, where he came through.
The best words of wisdom come from someone closer to home though, his mother.
"My mum told me early on, 'This world is what you make it, you create your own environment. It all starts with a vision- what you can imagine you can create'".
I have always been a fan of Sean. And it's great to see these guys in their element.

The Red Sox got some good news on the Eduardo Rodriguez front.
Alex Cora said prior to Thursday night's game that the lefty starter will throw a bullpen session Sunday. That is well ahead of what the team had scheduled following Rodriguez's ankle injury July 14.
"We're not getting ahead of ourselves," said Cora of Rodriguez. "We're going through every step. But he looks great. From what I saw that Sunday to what I ... I told him the only thing he needs now is a pedicure, that's it. The way he looks, that's all he needs."
Rodriguez had been pitching outstanding leading into the injury, not having given up a run in any of his last three starts. The lefty is 11-3 with 3.44 ERA.

The Black Sea Fleet includes six submarines of the Soviet Warszawianka project. The crew of this ship consists of 52 people. In addition to mines and torpedoes, these ships can be equipped with four maneuverable Kalibr missiles, which are suitable for attacking sea or land targets – depending on the version.
Earlier, UNIAN reported that Russia has transferred almost all ships equipped with missile weapons from Sevastopol to the Black Sea.
Ukrainian journalist Roman Simbaluk reports that the new main ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, which will replace the destroyed cruiser Moscow, will be the frigate Admiral Makarov. According to the journalist, this decision was taken by the command of the Black Sea Fleet.
"The command of the Black Sea Fleet has decided to assign a new main ship to replace the missile cruiser in Moscow that was destroyed on April 14. It will be the frigate of project 11356R, Admiral Makarov," wrote Cymbaluk on Facebook on Friday evening.
The journalist, who was UNIAN's Moscow correspondent, added that the Black Sea Fleet's operational group is now working on the basis of this ship.
"The command of the fleet is ready for the fact that Admiral Makarov may repeat the fate of the cruiser Moscow. In this case, the frigate Admiral Essen will take command of the ship," added Cymbaluk.

The time is now: Princeton, make African Studies a concentration
Following the release of spring courses, I looked at the courses in the African Studies program for this upcoming semester. My face became crestfallen with disappointment: there were only seven courses to choose from, which paled in comparison to many other departments.

Princeton, feed us: Why Princeton should serve late meal on weekends
(10/28/21 12:56am)
Late meal is one of the most beloved features of Princeton student life. So much so that Princeton recently held a special free late meal for seniors to allow them to relive their freshman and sophomore year late meal experience. Princeton's Campus Dining website explains the rationale behind late meal: "Campus Dining recognizes that students may be unable to dine during regular dining hall hours. Therefore, students with meal plans are entitled to use their plan to purchase late lunches Monday to Friday and late dinner Monday to Thursday at the Food Gallery at Frist. One meal swipe is credited for all late meal purchases. You may only use one meal swipe per period."

There are two new lightweight strollers in Chicco collection. Chicco Mini Bravo and its more advanced version – Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are are designed for quick trips around the city, travels and going to amusement parks.
Both strollers weighs less than 20 lbs which makes them easy to lift to the trunk or carry up and down the stairs. Little weight doesn't mean less functionality though! These two models have many great and useful features including: deep recline, good-sized canopy with ventilation, quick self-standing fold and included parent tray.
There are however few differences between these two strollers. The main difference is that Chicco Mini Bravo Plus is better equipped: it comes with child tray and features compatibility with infant car seats which means it can be used from birth as a travel system.
Because of this few differences, this more advanced model is more expensive as well. But don't worry! Both Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are great choice for parents on a small budget, since they cost less than $200.
Parent tray & big storage basket – included!
Large storage basket + TWO trays included!
What other parents think about Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus?
Let's take a closer look at functions and features of Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus. Find out which one of them would suit you better.
Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are equipped with a seat suitable from 6 months. The weight capacity for each seat is 50 lbs.
As for the dimensions, both seat are the same, with 25 inches from the bottom of the seat to the top of the canopy.
The backrest on Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus offers 3 positions. The lowest position is not completely flat (it's about 30 degrees from horizontal) which means it's not newborn-ready. But the lowest reclining position should be sufficient for comfortable nap on the go.
Both strollers feature the same reclining mechanism – you can easily lower and raise the backrest with one hand!
What I really like about the recline is that it's one-handed. You can easily lower and raise the backrest by squeezing a lever. No more struggling with straps and buckles (which always require using two hands), with these two strollers reclining is a piece of cake!
I also love the most upright position – it's pretty straight – which is quite a rare thing among strollers. Thanks to it your curious toddler will be able to sit more upright and observe surroundings.
Moreover, each stroller has adjustable 5-point harness with padded shoulder straps and crotch strap.
However there is one big difference between both seats: each is made of a different fabric and has different padding.
Chicco Mini Bravo has more thin fabric and padding. Both sides of the seat are made of mesh to provide extra ventilation for the baby.
On the other hand, Chicco Mini Bravo Plus has more thick fabric and deep, rich padding. Although there is no mesh (no extra air-flow) I definitely prefer this fabric as it's softer and nicer to the touch.
Each stroller has padded calf rest and separate footrest for older passengers – both are non-adjustable.
This is the main difference between Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus. The former one doesn't accepts infant car seats, while the latter one is compatible for example with KeyFit30 car seat (check this infant car seat).
The child tray serves for attaching the infant car seat onto the Chicco Mini Bravo Plus. You won't need any other attachments or accessories. Just attach the child tray, click-in the car seat and you're ready to go!
Chicco Mini Bravo Plus travel system is suitable for newborn babies. Chicco Mini Bravo doesn't offer infant car seat compatibility therefore it can be used only from 6 months when the baby can sit upright unassisted on the main seat.
The canopies differ in few ways. Chicco Mini Bravo has 2-panel sunshade with flip out sun visor. This canopy has vented sides (made of mesh) for additional air circulation. Unfortunately there is no peek-a-boo window and the fabric doesn't have SPF.
Chicco Mini Bravo Plus has 2-panel canopy as well, but you extend it to provide even more shade for the baby by using the zip open third panel. It's made of mesh so it allows air to circulate through. Moreover it can serve you as a peek-a-boo window (since there is no real one) as you can easily see your baby through it.
This canopy doesn't offer sun visor, but when it's fully extended it's much longer than Chicco Mini Bravo canopy and it almost touches the child tray! Therefore it not only blocks the sun out of baby's eyes, but even cover his torso. Not every lightweight stroller offer such a generous sunshade so it's a BIG PLUS.
Both Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus have non-adjustable handlebar, each set at 41.5″ from the ground. The height is great for average and tall parents (above 5'5″). It may be too high for a short person and cause wrist pain.
There is however a big difference between these two push bars. Chicco Mini Bravo handlebar is covered with foam which of course is prone to tearing. I'm not a fan of it.
I definitely prefer the handlebar on Chicco Mini Bravo Plus which is more luxurious and has textured rubberized grip. So here you don't have to worry about ripped foam cover. This handlebar will sit really well in the palm of your hand making the pushing more easy and convenient.
Both stroller have the same wheels: 8″ in the back and 6.25″ in the front. They are made of EVA foam. Front wheels swivel a full 360 degree which makes the stroller more maneuverable and easy to steer and turn in tight places.
These wheels are designed mainly for flat terrain and they work best on even sidewalks, pavement, bricks and hard-packed dirt roads. I wouldn't recommend taking these strollers on any bumpy road (like gravel or tall grass) as it will bounce and wiggle.
Both Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are designed for city use so they are not suitable for off-road trails (the riding comfort would be decreased and the baby wouldn't be protected from the negative effect of bumps).
Both strollers have two brake pedals, one for locking each rear wheel. So when you stop and want to lock the stroller in place you need to press each pedal separately to engage the brakes fully.
Pushing and lifting the pedals is quite easy but it may be less convenient in open-toed shoes.
This is the feature that I love about both model. Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus have AWESOME, OVERSIZED storage baskets.
Each bin can easily accommodate large diaper bag and there still be a spare room for a blanket, grocery bag, your purse or jacket. Not every lightweight stroller has so spacious basket so it's a really big advantage of Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus.
Moreover each basket is very easily accessible from the back, even when the seat is fully reclined. Love it!
Both strollers have the same dimensions and are quite small, which makes them perfect for shopping at the mall or going through crowded sidewalks. Each one is only 20.8″ wide so you won't have problems with fitting through doorways, elevators, narrow aisles in grocery stores or going through crowded Disneyland.
Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus differ in weight a bit. The former one weighs 18.5 lbs while the latter one weighs 19.6 lbs. The difference is not big and both stroller are very portable. They are easy to lift to the car trunk and carry up and down the stairs, especially since they have convenient carry handle (the same one which you use for folding).
Both these lightweight strollers are very easy and quick to fold, just like other Chicco strollers. You just need to pull the handle which is hidden in the middle of the seat and the stroller will collapse in half. You can also use this handle for carrying the stroller around.
I really like that folding can be done with one hand and that the stroller features self-stand. It makes transporting and storing more easy.
Both Chicco Mini Bravo Plus and Chicco Mini Bravo have quite compact fold. The dimensions are the same for both models (if you take off the child tray of the Mini Bravo Plus): 28.3″ x 20.8″ x 14″. You shouldn't have problems with storing them at home or fitting them in the car trunk (even a small one).
I only wish the strollers folded inwards, so the seat fabric was not exposed to dirt so much. You need to be careful when you transport these strollers in a trunk so the seat won't get dirty or ripped.
Mini Bravo and Mini Bravo Plus come with a useful parent tray that offers two cup holders and one storage compartment for parent valuables like keys and cell phone.
On the Chicco Mini Bravo the storage compartment is open, while the Chicco Mini Bravo Plus pouch closes with a zipper. It's quite deep so your cellphone will definitely fit there and you can put there other small items that you prefer to be hidden.
Moreover Mini Bravo Plus comes with a child tray which has one cup holder and one snack holder. This tray also doubles as a click-in attachment for infant car seats. Besides, you don't have to remove this tray, it folds with the stroller!
I love that this stroller comes with these two accessories and you don't have to pay extra for them.
To sum up my review I put all of the differences between those two strollers in the table below. If you're wondering which model is better and which one you should choose this comparison should help you.
Check the table below and find out which stroller suits you and your child better: Chicco Mini Bravo or Chicco Mini Bravo Plus?
Apart from these differences both strollers have similar features: small EVA foam wheels, two brake pedals operated by foot, 3-position recline, adjustable 5-point harness, non-adjustable footrest and calf rest and huge storage basket. Size, folding and folded dimensions are also the same for both strollers.
Chicco Mini Bravo or Chicco Mini Bravo Plus – which one will work better for you?
So if you're hesitating whether to buy Chicco Mini Bravo or Chicco Mini Bravo Plus, here is my recommendation.
If you're looking for a lightweight stroller that accepts infant car seats (which means it be used from birth), has big canopy that offers large amount of shade for the baby and comes not only with parent tray, but also child tray, you should go for the Chicco Mini Bravo Plus.
But if you have smaller budget and need only a lightweight stroller (perhaps a second stroller), for a baby who can already sit upright and hold his head up, mainly for city use, short walks, running errands and going to the mall, you should choose the Chicco Mini Bravo.
In the tables below you can find the most important assets and flaws of both strollers.
When I'm writing this review both stroller are quite new on the market (they hit the stores at the beginning of 2018). Last time I checked them on Amazon they didn't have many reviews yet, but most of them were positive. I'm sure both these lightweight strollers will become more popular soon (as other Chicco strollers) so I will update this section when there are more customer reviews.
Below I gathered the most important information that parents mention most often in the customer reviews.
The biggest advantage of the Chicco Mini Bravo Plus is the possibility to click in the infant car seat. Moreover the recline is comfortable for napping, the canopy covers the baby from the sun really well and the parent and child trays are very useful. This stroller offers the same functionality as standard full-sized strollers, but it's lighter, easier to fold down even for a petite person (read this review for example) and carry.
Moreover, according to parents the fabrics are soft and good-quality and the whole stroller is very user-friendly. It maneuvers easily both indoors and outdoors – some parents have been using it even on sand and wood chips (find out more)! Another assets are: large basket that can accommodate all parents essential, upright position of the seat, sturdiness of the whole stroller (read more in this customer review) and very easy assembly.
The only issue that one parent mention is that one part got broken during shipping. Other parents don't mention any disadvantages at all (at least at the time I'm writing this).
When it comes to Chicco Mini Bravo parents praise it mostly for quick and truly one-hand folding and compact self-stand. Easy and fast packing for transport is very important for many parents (more in this review). Another advantages are: easy one-hand recline, padded seat and harness straps, easy to clean fabrics (read more here) good quality and lightweight construction (lifting it with a fold/carry handle is very simple).
Huge storage basket and handy parent tray are another things that parents love about this stroller. They also mention it works great for indoor use (shopping mall, grocery stores) and on pavement. Additional sun visor and mesh sides of the canopy are very useful on hot days.
The are some small drawback that parents mention: the lack of cover for the storage compartment on the parent tray, no child tray and no peek-a-boo window. Moreover, one parent doesn't recommend this stroller for bumpy surfaces (find out more).
Chicco Mini Bravo offers 4 color versions: Stone, Mulberry, Chili and Pewter. You can see them in the picture below.
On the other hand we have the Chicco Mini Bravo Plus which comes in 3 colors: Graphite, Eucalyptus and Storm. Check them below.
Notice that some of the color versions may not be always available. If you want to check which colors of Chicco Mini Bravo are currently for sale click here, if you're curious which color versions of Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are available click here.
Both models are designed for city use and rather flat or slightly uneven terrain. They work worse on bigger bumps and cracks.
The main seat is suitable only for kids who can sit straight unassisted (about 6 months old). Additionally, Chicco Mini Bravo Plus can be used from birth, but only if you add an infant car seat.
1. Both strollers cost less than $200 so are great option for parents on a small budget.
2. Good-quality, durability and sturdiness – these are the main advantages of both model.
3. Although Chicco Mini Bravo and Chicco Mini Bravo Plus are lightweight strollers, they are very well equipped and have many useful functions, just like standard full-sized strollers.
Are you thinking about buying one of these strollers? Don't forget to check available discounts before you make your purchase.
If none of these lightweight strollers meet your needs, you may want to check my list of other great light strollers for parents who are often on the go or travel with their baby.

Letter to President
Costs of College
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Dear (Next) President,
In the last three decades the tuition for a public 4-year college has increased more than 250 percent. The costs for college have risen to a point where students don't go to college, not because they don't want to go, but because they can't afford to go. I would like to attend Duke University and I don't know if that's possible because of the crazy high tuitions. The cost for college is too high which results in students falling into debt and they are less likely to attend the college they desire.
The debt students fall into during and after college can delay their life. Many students take out student loans to help pay for their tuition, which puts them deeper into debt. Campus Riot states "when students are forced to delay buying their first home because of student debt, they are more inclined to delay getting married, having children, and pursuing medical/dental care" (Pumphrey, 1). These students lives are affected in a negative way by going to college, rather than in a positive way. College is meant to help progress your life by helping you get a job, earn more money, and basically help kickstart your life as an adult. Now it's counterintuitive. Instead of helping it hinders. People are forced to try to get out of debt before they can even get started. The rising costs of college are holding students back from the next phase of their life.
Another way college costs are affecting the students, is that they may not be able to attend the college they desire do to financial concerns. If a student isn't able to go to a college they they really want to attend, they may settle for a cheaper community college. Campus Riot shows in an infographic that "From 2007-2009, enrollment in community colleges increased 24%" (Pumphrey, 1). The students may have wanted to attend a more expensive 4-year college, but that wasn't an option because they couldn't afford the tuition. This can impact the lives of the students after college. They may not get as good of an education at a community college as they could get at a 4-year college. Also when applying for a job, a person with a degree form a 4-year college will more than likely get it over a person with a degree from a community college. Students are less likely to attend their dream college and instead go to a more affordable one.
On the other hand, people may ask how colleges will make money if tuitions are lowered. Many people believe that all the money colleges make comes from tuitions, but that is not the case. The majority of the money comes from state appropriations. In fact many Americans still haven't paid their college tuitions. According to The Daily Dot "Americans now owe a total of $1.2 trillion to colleges" (Bransetter, 1). If colleges are funded mostly by state appropriations, couldn't tuitions be lowered? Also since a lot of people still haven't paid their tuitions that were lower back in the day, why would you keep raising the tuitions expecting people to afford them now? Raising tuitions will only result in more and more debt throughout the country. In the end the costs of college is getting way out of hand and needs to be regulated.
Students are falling into debt and are less likely to attend the college they prefer do to the overpriced costs for college. Students fall into debts they can't shake off and end up behind where they want be in their adult life. The overpriced colleges are driving students to less expensive options such as community colleges rather than their preferred colleges. The option to lower tuition is the only one that makes sense. If colleges continue to raise tuition or keep it the same, people won't be able to pay for college and may not end up going to college at all.

Whether for fun or to celebrate the true love between two canines, hosting a dog wedding can be more work than most realize. While there may not be an exchanging of rings, there are a plethora of other activities you can do. Dog weddings can be a fun and charming way to bring friends and family together, if only to enjoy one another's company.
When sending out emails, be sure to set a tone for the event. Will this dog wedding be a black tie affair, with the bride and groom dressed to the nines, or will this be a casual backyard wedding? Let your guests know how they, and their own dogs, should dress.
Food will depend on the formality of your event. If you're having lots of canine guests, be sure to accommodate them as well. There are a plethora of websites online that include baked treats for pups, ranging from cupcakes to ice cream.
As for the people, again, follow the tone of the event. A casual backyard affair could include lemonade, hot dogs and potato salad. A more formal event could call for finger foods, fancy coffees and so forth.
Though the dogs should be dressed as well, it's also important to dress up the event space. Whether it's a few simple garlands or a more extravagant event with flowers and other decor, it is still important to follow the tone of the event.
While your dog's wedding event may seem perfectly normal to you and to many others, there may still be those who make rude comments. It is important to let these comments go. Whatever their reasoning may be, it is unnecessary for them to make these comments, and it is not worth your time to respond. Laugh it off or simply disregard, and you'll be happier for it.
Having a basic idea of what the event will entail can help you plan it more seamlessly. Of course, this is a wedding for dogs, so try not to get too carried or away or take things too seriously. You will only stress yourself out! The important thing is to enjoy the event, and enjoy your dogs.
Lisa Mason writes about dogs and the humans who love them.
