Q: Simulate undo with detach(); The undo button only appends the last detached.item and does not allow for appending detached items beyond the last removed. The goal is to remove as many items as I wish and have them restored in succession with each click of the undo button.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var cacheDom = "";
  $('.remove').click(function() {
    if ($('.item').length > 0) {
      cacheDom = $('.item');
      $(this).closest('.item').detach();
    }
  });
  $('#undo').click(function() {
    $('.list').append(cacheDom);
  });
});

    Item 1
    <button class='remove'>Remove</button>

    Item 2
    <button class='remove'>Remove</button>

    Item 3
    <button class='remove'>Remove</button>

A: You can keep an array of the elements removed, and restore them, beginning with the first element in the array.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var removedItems = [];

  $('.remove').click(function() {
    var removeItem = $(this).closest('.item').detach();
    removedItems.push(removeItem);
  });

  $('#undo').click(function() {
    if (removedItems.length) {
      var restoreItem = removedItems.shift();
      $('.list').append(restoreItem);

Bhubaneswar: It was a golden moment for Odia kid Satyajit Jena yesterday evening when in the singing reality show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs 2017 of Zee Tv, music legend A R Rahman offered a week internship to Jena at his studio in Chennai. This was the reward that Satyajit received for his rendition of Roja title track and singing his self composition.
The 12-year old singer from Anandpur of Keonjhar district impressed Rahman besides all the jury members with his song 'Roja Janeman'. Soon after Rahman lauded Jena and asked him about his tryst with composing music. On the legend's request, Jena sung Sab mata aur pita ke charnon…. written by Himesh Reshammiya.
The little one scored 99 per cent marks from jury members but hit a century by winning Rahman's applauds who promptly asked him to join his studio for a week's internship.
"Many other contestants had scored better than Satyajit, but Rahman sir chose Satyajit and that was a moment of celebration, " said Guman Charan Jena, father of Satyajit. "You are welcome to my studio for one week for internship", Rahman offered.
Satyajit is leaving for Chennai shortly from Mumbai, an elated Guman said.
Satyajit had received highest percentage of voting for his chartbuster performance in the last episode. He has become one of the most adorable participants in the programme for his voice and feel with which he sings.
Hope, the little wonder keeps the winning streak till he emerges as winner of the show.

Commercialization of Knowledge and Ideas—Glassmaking Story of Corning
Corning's journey is a wonderful example of producing and commercialising knowledge and ideas in a labor and material rich industry--lesson for many
Commercialization of Knowledge and Ideas has been Corning's success in turning a labor intensive industry into a success of invention and innovation
Commercialization of knowledge and ideas has been a great challenge for finding sustained growth paths for firms and countries. Hence, some firms and also countries are spending billions in generating and experimenting with ideas. In fact, the current venture capital financing rush for startups has been for extracting value from the market out of ideas. Although innovation success appears to be magic, however, there appears to be a systematic way for ferreting out value. In retrospect, Corning's journey is a great example of producing knowledge and ideas and turning them into economic value.
Corning is known for producing high-grade glass products. Instead of natural resources and skilled labor, Corning focused on the commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking. Since ancient times, human beings are making glass and glass products. Glass is made from an abundant resource—Silica. Silica is the major constituent of sand. It is one of the most complex and abundant families of materials, comprising as high as 10 percent by mass of the earth's crust.
Glassmaking history dates back to at least 3,600 BC in Mesopotamia. Moreover, the glass-making technique got distributed all across the world. For example, the first Persian glass came in the form of beads dating to the Late Bronze Age, 1600 BC. Besides, Glass-making evidence is found in India in 1700 BC. Similar evidence is also found in other parts of the world, starting from China to the Islamic world.
Corning's journey of commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking began in 1851
There is no doubt that glassmaking started as a tinkering approach. Craftsmanship, like Glassblowing, was at the core for centuries in glass making. Labor and energy were the main ingredients in turning abundant natural resource Silica into glass and glass products. For centuries, labor in the form of craftsmanship was the source of competitive advantage in the glassmaking trade. However, Corning took a different path. The founding family of Corning, the Houghtons, looked at it from a different perspective. They saw research and development as a way to gather knowledge and generate ideas for improving the glass, glass products, and the process of making them.
Hence, they embarked on an entrepreneurial journey in 1851 for the commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking. It was their strategy to stand out in a landscape thick with rival glassmakers. Therefore, instead of sourcing cheaper energy, ingredients, and labor, Houghtons decided to distinguish Corning from the competition with a deep knowledge of the makeup, chemistry, and physics of glass. Thus, as opposed to craftsmanship or imported capital machinery-based replication, the invention and innovation journey began in glass making.
Edison's light gave a boost to Corning's commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking
In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison approached Corning with his idea for the lightbulb. However, he did not need just a copy of what existing glass technology could do. Instead, his light bulb demanded encasement of the delicate filaments made of glass that was stronger and more damage-resistant than glass typically used in windows and jars. Hence, Corning relied on the flow of knowledge and ideas from R&D to meet Edison's light bulb requirement. Besides, in addition to making glass stronger and more damage-resistant, Corning also focused on the process of making those encasements.
The cost of production of each light bulb was a barrier to the diffusion of Edison's innovation. At that time, a skilled craftsman used to produce bulbs by hand, one piece at a time. Hence, for reducing the cost of production, Corning focused on reducing labor content. Later, Corning succeeded to develop a new manufacturing process that would mass produce these bulbs, making Edison's electric lamp more affordable to the masses. Since then, even to date, process innovation has been an integral part of turning product ideas into commercial success for Corning.
Institutionalization of R&D capacity at Corning
In 1877, Corning received the first patent. It was the patent for a lens that was designed to be resistant to breakage caused by the heat from lamp flames. However, to ensure a steady flow of knowledge and ideas in its glass-making commercialization process, Corning recruited Dr. Eugene Sullivan from Germany to establish one of the first industrial research departments in the United States. His expertise in silicate chemistry made him the ideal choice for leading Corning R&D. Subsequently, physicists, chemists, and optical scientists at the lab increased the world's understanding of the properties and potential of glass.
Meeting increasing new requirements—the strategy for progressing with the commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking
In 1912, Corning gave the solution to American Railway for dealing with the problem of glass globes of signal lanterns that used to shatter due to thermal expansion caused by extreme temperature changes. Corning developed a heat-resistant low expansion glass that withstands sudden jolts of heat and cold. Hence, railroads needed far fewer replacements, and eventually, demand started to dwindle. Subsequently, Corning scientists began to investigate new applications for this material to scale up the commercializing of knowledge and ideas developed to meet the unique railway requirements.
Furthermore, the journey of producing heat-resistant glass lead to Corning's success in the innovation of a line of highly durable cookware and laboratory glass products still available today. This is under PYREX® brand. Furthermore, along with the invention of better glass, Corning kept focusing on improving the production process of producing glass products. One of the milestones had been speed ribbon machine innovation in 1926, which started producing 400,000 bulb blanks in a 24-hour period–about 5 times the output of earlier machines. Subsequently, this production process substantially lowered the production cost of Radio bulbs, making Radios affordable to the mass. In the 1920s, Corning also embarked on producing large glass bulbs for cathode ray tubes (CRTs), used in making Oscilloscopes and TVs. Hence, like what it did for the light bulb, in 1947, Corning revolutionized the television industry by inventing a process to mass-produce TV picture tubes.
In 1952, the accidental discovery of Corning Scientists Dr. S. Donald Stookey made new glass-ceramic material. It resulted in a new business for Corning – CorningWare®. Moreover, as part of process innovation, in 1964, Corning scientists Stuart Dockerty and Clint Shay develop the fusion overflow process to produce flat glass. This process innovation played a key role in forming Corning's liquid crystal display glass substrates business.
The journey of commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking led to fiber optics
In 1970, Corning's R&D team comprising of Drs. Robert Maurer, Donald Keck, and Peter Schultz developed the first optical fiber capable of maintaining laser light signals' strength over significant distances. Subsequently, it paved the way for the commercialization of fiber optics for telecommunications.
Meeting the glass innovation need for displays of the information age
As the ordinary glass was not precise, stable, or durable enough to meet their requirements of active-matrix liquid crystal displays (LCDs), Corning's "fusion" process made the glass that filled the bill perfectly. Moreover, this advancement has led to today's Corning's highly profitable business in LCD. Like Edison, Steve Jobs also approached Corning to make thin and light glass enough for mobile devices, but still tough enough to resist the scratches, bumps, and drops of everyday use. It led to the Gorilla® Glass invention.
Corning's decision-making process for commercializing knowledge and ideas
Its strategy has been inventing a component that enables a complex system, protecting it with IP, and developing world-class manufacturing processes to make it. Hence, it knowledge generation and exploitation process goes through a five-stage process as shown:
Stage I → Gather information, build knowledge;
Stage II → Determine feasibility;
Stage III → Test practicality;
Stage IV → Prove profitability;
Stage V → Manage the lifecycle.
Decisions on whether to move ahead on an early-stage program largely depended on answers of the following questions:
Is the opportunity large?
Is it connected to a "megatrend"?
Is the problem significant – requiring a step change in cost or capability?
Is the hypothetical (quantified) value proposition compelling?
Is Corning's approach unique? Is there a possibility for significant differentiation?
Is there a good fit with Corning skills?
Are the required resources available?
Corning's almost 170 years journey has been in the production and commercialization of knowledge and ideas in glassmaking. Its achievements are led by the progress which is being made by Scientists in the R&D center. Each of those scientists is the source of knowledge and ideas which Corning commercializes. For example, Dr. George Beall's four-decade-long career at Corning led to receiving his 100th patent in 2004. In 2018, Corning invested 10 percent of its $11.4 billion revenue in R&D. Hence, Corning's journey is a wonderful example of turning labor and also material-intensive industry into a business of production and commercialization of knowledge and ideas.
Corning's underlying strategy–a repeatable pattern for systematic ferreting out value
Corning always focused on meeting requirements which existing glass technology could not deliver. In history, it kept undertaking assignments for pushing the technology envelope. For example, Corning designed and produced a 200-inch mirror blank for the Hale Telescope at Mount Palomar. At that time, it was the world's largest piece of glass. Similarly, in the 1990s, Corning delivered a high-precision mirror for the Hubble Telescope. Subsequently, Corning leveraged knowledge and ideas gained from those assignments in commercial innovations. Furthermore, in addition to product, Corning equally focused on process innovation to reduce production costs and ensure consistent quality. Therefore, Corning's journey offers an invaluable lesson to those countries and firms who would like to upgrade from natural resources and labor to the production and commercialization of knowledge and ideas.


We don't have direct access to reality. We look at it through a kaleidoscope – a confused, fragmented mind. Our big picture of reality looks like a cubist painting.
Is there a single, objective reality? Good question. For the time being, our kaleidoscope is our reality.
Experience delivers reality chips (truth and knowledge) that we integrate into our kaleidoscope.
Truth and knowledge are relative. Every time our kaleidoscope turns and changes context, it re-shuffles its knowledge and truth fragments. When we change from a child to an adolescent and from an adolescent to an adult, a major contextual revolution occurs. As we grow old, we may experience more shifts, for example, from a religious person to an atheist or vice versa.
Understanding is the knowledge of context, how the chips of our kaleidoscope associate.
Wisdom is the knowledge of the kaleidoscope's mechanism and how it produces the illusion of a subjective reality. Wisdom always works. It is objective because it describes the nature of perception.
Our mental kaleidoscope has more than one lens. We perceive reality through our senses, we react emotionally to experiences, we think and reason, we dream, and can interpret the meaning of experiences. If we want to become more realistic we need to align and improve all mental lenses, not just that of perception.
Enlightenment happens when one or more lenses become transparent.
IQ deals with knowledge. It can get us only so far. We need to improve our EQ (emotional IQ) too and declutter our mind. Sounds tedious? It is. Where to start? Anywhere! There is no linear procedure because our kaleidoscopes are just too complex. Trust experience to guide you and when a mentor reveals himself, trust him too, even if he nauseates you by shuffling your kaleidoscope.

Typical day in campus placements.
6 am: Flight to the city where you have the drive.
8 am: Rushing in to the campus and getting all set for the pre placement talk.
10 am: 360 candidates appear for the written test.
2 pm: 60 candidates shortlisted for in-person interviews.
3 pm: Face to face interviews begins, 5 panels running in parallel.
8 pm: 60 interview rounds conducted by a panel of 10 members.
9 pm: Job offers rolled out to 5 candidates.
This is a scenario of a campus placement of a mid-tier company and I would rate it somewhat a well organized one, possibly due to lower volume. I have discussed cases in which there are more than 1000 students and the process extends well past mid night. This all seems as a manageable work from a recruiting teams perspective but from a candidate who is probably waiting for his first job, this experience is definitely not that great. Many a times, my discussions with some of the Campus hiring heads is about how they have existing practices which is well oiled and may not require a rethinking for next couple of years. They are fine with the current process since it works and will catch up when the situation demands. In today's time when there is a war for talent, simply catching up is not enough. In order to hire the best your campus hiring methods must stand out to be noticed by the graduating students and appreciated by your corporate executives, including the hiring managers who spend significant time in these processes.
With social media and multiple communication channels influencing your target group, you have to be dramatically different with new recruiting approaches to see dramatic improvement in your hiring process.
I am sharing a couple of practices, which have brought about highest potential impact on the firms recruiting results. These practices are not in widespread usage but they are not unproven, I have seen them implemented successfully in at least one firm.
On-campus student ambassador program — Brands have been using this approach for a while to increase brand awareness in coveted market of 18- to 24-year-olds. Their belief is if you reach this group early on you can create brand loyalty since this age group is a receptive audience. If brands can do it for selling products, recruiters should also keep this as one of their top priority since you too are selling the story on why to work with us. Student ambassadors can work to get your firms employees invited in events / conferences as speakers or technical experts for college projects and which can be leveraged to create a desire among students to be part of your firm. One of the approaches, which companies use, is engaging the summer interns as ambassadors once they return to campus. Firms like Google, Microsoft, and Qualcomm have all found their ambassadors to be highly effective.
Your recruiting message/communications must use Mobile communication/channel — I think most of you will agree one thing that has a undivided attention from students is their mobile. This is one of the most preferred channel to engage students, since they carry it 24/7 and respond/engage must faster than any other communication channel. You can generate content around careers, working with your firm, some unique USPs of your firm, technical managers talking about your technology and the cutting edge work they are doing etc and push it through social media and other mobile optimized channels. Mobile strategy should be even used when you are designing the method to collect the application forms, conduct screening tests and keep the candidate updated about the joining formalities. I know of companies who are doing this partially however companies are yet to adopt an end-to-end mobile strategy.
Develop the capability of recruiting remotely (without visiting the campus) — This is what I have been promoting in India for the last two years and it has worked out well for my clients across sectors. Even if you had unlimited recruiting budget, you could still only physically visit more than a dozen campuses and remote recruiting is going to be necessary rather than a good to have in near future.
1. Not missing out on a bright student from not so well known campus/remote campus: You can ask all the students to attend a multiple choice question test followed by an asynchronous video interview. The test scores can be used to shortlist the best and then you can see the candidates video responses to your specific questions. Based on this you can shortlist the best candidates and since the numbers may be few, you can ask these candidates to travel to your office. By adopting this you increase your reach, never miss out on good quality talent without significantly impacting your budget or time.
2. Locking in the best students before pre placement talks: You can ask students to attend the tests and asynchronous video interviews. This translates to a candidates video profile and technical score, thereby helping you shortlist them better than just a resume. Your line manager based in central office can also have a look at these shortlisted candidates and give their feedback. When you arrive in campus go on with your pre placement talks and then meet these shortlisted candidates first before meeting the rest. This will give you a significant advantage over the other companies in locking in the best candidates with an offer. This approach gives you speed of execution in getting to the best fast. Many of the firms that I know arrange for hackathons, online mini projects etc to engage students and be top ranked as one of their preferred firms. These approaches are cost effective in spread the message, enhancing the employers brand and also screen potentially good candidates who can be hired.
Now things like this leave a lasting impression not only for the candidate but everyone who has observed the discussion in social media. This approach can be used to get the best student, make him feel important and it will send across a message about the open door policy the firm may have in approaching the top management. These types of calls have had an extremely high success rate at firms like Microsoft, Whirlpool, Google, Ernst & Young, and Apple.
Add a "refer-a-student" component to your college recruiting process — Employee referrals are effective and some of the companies I work with source around 60% + candidates through employee referrals. But none of the companies I know of have adopted a student referral program. One of the channels to get this going will be through the students who have worked with your firm as an intern, college professor working on some consulting assignments with your firm, your employees, tutors etc. Since these group already know of superior students, it will help you reach out to them more effectively with a known person as a channel between your firm and the candidate. Small rewards or prizes can influence this group to bring in high quality referrals.
These are some of the methods, which are starting to take wings in India. I am sure early adopters in Campus recruiting may be in the process of implementing at least 2-3 of the methods mentioned, for the rest you have a well oiled machine which will change in due course of time.

Das Push-Pull-Modell der Migration stellt den Kern der ökonomisch motivierten Migrationstheorie dar, die Everett S. Lee (1917–2007) in den 1960er Jahren aufstellte. Die Theorie geht davon aus, dass Menschen aus einem ursprünglichen Gebiet "weggedrückt" werden (engl.: "to push", "drücken") und/oder von einem anderen Gebiet "angezogen" (engl.: "to pull", "ziehen") werden. Die Theorie wird sowohl auf nationale als auch auf internationale Wanderung angewandt. Lees Arbeit (1966) basiert auf dem Prinzip des "ökonomischen Rationalismus" und wurde von anderen Autoren aufgegriffen und weiterentwickelt. Lee geht davon aus, dass aufgrund der natürlichen Trägheit und Risikoscheu ein Übergewicht an begünstigenden Faktoren noch nicht zwangsläufig zur Migration führt.

Push-Faktoren

auch Migrationsdruck oder "Fluchtursachen"

Sozio-ökonomische Gründe

 Arbeitslosigkeit, geringes Einkommen, Perspektivlosigkeit
 Armut und Hunger
 ungerechte Besitzverteilung / soziale Ungleichheit
 hohe Steuern und Abgaben (Steuerflucht)
 fehlende Infrastruktur
 demographische Probleme (Landknappheit / Überbevölkerung)
 kriminelle Strukturen in Kooperation mit korrupten Führungseliten

Politische Gründe

 Krieg, politische Unruhen
 Diktatur, Folter, Bürgerkrieg, Völkermord
 Missachtung der Menschenrechte (zum Beispiel Einschränkung der Meinungs- oder Religionsfreiheit)
 Diskriminierung oder Verfolgung (aufgrund Religion, Hautfarbe, Ethnie, politischer Weltanschauung, Geschlecht, sexueller Orientierung)

Ökologische Gründe

 Natur-, Klima- und Umweltkatastrophen (z. B. Überschwemmungen, Erdrutsche, Erdbeben, Vulkanausbrüche, Ansteigen des Meeresspiegels, Dürren)
 Verknappung von Naturressourcen (z. B. durch Versalzung, Erosion, Überweidung, Überfischung)

Pull-Faktoren

Ökonomie

 Wirtschaftskraft und Wirtschaftswachstum
 gute Verdienstmöglichkeiten / viele Jobangebote
 informelle Sektoren in der Stadt (leichter Zugang für illegale Einwanderer)
 Wirtschaftsförderungsprogramme
 wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit
 hohe Sozialleistungen – der Zusammenhang wurde in einer Studie dreier Wissenschaftler der Universität Princeton für Dänemark nachgewiesen; allerdings wurde etwa vom Migrationsexperten der OECD kritisiert, dass im Betrachtungszeitraum auch die Aufenthaltsregeln für Migranten verschärft wurden und damit der Effekt der Kürzung der Sozialleistungen "verwaschen" sei. Auch zwei österreichische Ökonomen konnten im Jahr 2020 den Zusammenhang nachweisen.

Gesellschaft

 Sicherheit
 gute Wohnmöglichkeiten
 hohe Toleranz (z. B. religiöse, sexuelle)
 gute Bildungsmöglichkeiten
 funktionierendes Gesundheitssystem
 breites Dienstleistungs-, Kultur- und Freizeitangebot

Demographie

 ausreichendes Flächenangebot
 strukturierte Raumplanung
 Arbeitskräftemangel (z. B. durch den demographischen Wandel)
 soziale Netzwerke – Migranten suchen Länder auf, in denen sie Kontakte und Anknüpfungspunkte haben oder erhoffen. Schlepper und Schleuser beeinflussen die Entscheidung von Migranten ebenso wie Mundpropaganda während der Migration.

Politik

 günstige Einwanderungsgesetze / Möglichkeit des Familiennachzugs
 Möglichkeit legaler Einwanderung
 Anerkennung der Einwanderer als Innovationspotenzial
 Rechtssicherheit
 Frieden
 persönliche Freiheit

Kritik

In der Migrationsforschung wird das klassische Push-Pull-Modell der Migration heute zumeist abgelehnt. Diese Diskussion wird beispielsweise in einer Dokumentation des Wissenschaftlichen Dienstes des deutschen Bundestages zusammengefasst. Statt Push- und Pull-Faktoren zu isolieren, wird versucht, das komplexe Zusammenspiel unterschiedlichster Gründe der Migration in den Blick zu nehmen. Insgesamt wird die empirische Fundierung des Push-Pull-Modells zur Erklärung von Migrationsbewegungen bezweifelt. So kritisiert Christof Parnreiter einen "rückschauenden Reduktionismus", bei dem post hoc nach plausiblen Push- oder Pull-Faktoren gesucht wird (Bestätigungsfehler). Die politische Beliebtheit der Push-Pull-Theorie wird insbesondere in der Einfachheit und Suggestivität des Modells begründet gesehen.

Kontext und Grenzen der Modellbildung

Mit einem Modell der Subjective Expected Utility (SEU) wurde versucht, verschiedene theoretische Ansätze zur Erklärung von Migration zu integrieren. Gegen dieses und andere Modelle wird der Einwand erhoben, dass von einer egoistischen Orientierung von Individuen ausgegangen werde und komplexe soziale Zusammenhänge nicht berücksichtigt werden. Als Beispiel wird angeführt, es sei empirisch bestätigt, dass Wanderungsentscheidungen von Ehepaaren bezüglich der beruflichen Karriere der Ehefrau oft suboptimal ausfallen.

MEMPHIS, Tennessee: J.J. Spaun hopes he's only getting started on the road to the FedEx Cup finale. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth will have to wait another week.
As for Jason Day, his season is over.
Spaun made a late birdie for a 3-under 67 to take a one-shot lead Friday in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the opening event in the PGA Tour postseason that no longer has three of its biggest stars for the weekend at the TPC Southwind.
Scheffler, the Masters champion and No. 1 player for the last five months, never quite recovered from what he could only describe as an "out-of-body experience" with his putting in the first round. He had birdie chances on two of the last three holes he couldn't convert and his 68 was one shot short of making the weekend.
"Obviously, it's really frustrating coming into the playoffs," Scheffler said. "I was practicing really hard at home, actually playing really good, and I showed up and had the worst putting day ever. Golf smacks you in the face sometimes."
McIlroy went from rough to gallery to fringe to bogey on his last hole for a 69 for only his second missed cut of the year. Spieth's hopes of playing the weekend ended with a tee shot into the water on the par-3 14th that led to a 74.
At least they get to play next week in the BMW Championship, being high enough in the standings not to lose too much sleep over it.
Day opened with a 65 and was hopeful of a big finish to advance into the top 70 who made it to the next playoff event. Instead, the former world No. 1 dropped five shots over the last eight holes, shot 74 and missed the cut by one shot.
Day was among 31 players who started outside the top 70 in the FedEx Cup and missed the cut, meaning their season is over.
Rickie Fowler, who came in at No. 125, ended the back nine (double bogey) and front nine (bogey) poorly and shot 71. He was tied for 33rd, around for two more days but needing to contend to advance.
Spaun was at 11-under 129 and only looking ahead.
He was one shot ahead of Sepp Straka, who birdied his last three holes for a 66, and Troy Merritt, who had a 65. Merritt started at No. 64 in the standings, so this was just what he needed to make sure he would be moving on.
With a clear sky, hot sun and a little more wind, Spaun was as proud of his 67 on Friday as his 64 the day before. Mostly, he feels his game his coming around after going into a lull following his first PGA Tour title at the Valero Texas Open in early April.
"It's so hard to be consistently good at the highest level. Some guys that do it like that, like Tiger and McIlroy and all those guys. It's just insane how good they are for so long," Spaun said. "I did it for a few months and then kind of fell off, but here I am kind of making my way back."
Straka knows the feeling. He had not made it to the weekend since the Memorial in early June. And then he opened with rounds of 64-66.
"Hadn't played great coming into this week. Missed a bunch of cuts coming in," Straka said (in his case, "a bunch" would be six in a row). "But that's golf. You're going to have the ebbs and flows and just kind go with it."
And off he went, especially at the end, when he finished with three straight birdies to get to 10 under.
Tony Finau, coming off two straight victories, had his 11th consecutive round at 68 or lower dating to the final round of the British Open. His 68 on Friday left him three behind.
Spaun didn't feel as though he had much of a lead — one shot, not to mention 15 players within four shots of the lead and 36 holes still to play.
"It's anyone's weekend, and it's going to mine," he said playfully.
The first part for so many players was getting to the weekend, and two players who seized on the opportunity were Ryan Palmer and Lucas Glover.
Palmer is at No. 110 in the FedEx Cup, shot 67 and joined Finau, British Open champion Cam Smith (65) and others at 8-under 132.
Glover is No. 121. Even with a bogey on his final hole, his 68 put him four shots out of the lead.

Chattanooga gas prices plunge to lowest March levels in modern history due to COVID-19 travel cutbacks
Analysts expect further decline in fuel prices
March 23, 2020 at 3:14 p.m. | Updated March 23, 2020 at 3:15 p.m.

Chattanooga gas prices fell another 11.3 cents a gallon in the past week, dropping to the lowest inflation-adjusted price for fuel for the start of spring in modern history.
The average price of a gallon of regular gas in Chattanooga dropped Sunday to $1.78 per gallon, according to GasBuddy's daily survey of 170 stations. Chattanooga gas prices now average 33.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and remain 30 cents a gallon below the U.S. average of $2.08 per gallon, GasBuddy.com.
The cheapest gas in Hamilton County today is at Sam's Club station on Lee Highway, where regular gas is selling for only $1.48 per gallon.
"This is as low as I can ever remember and it is a welcome sight," said Justin Smith, a 30-year-old Chattanoogan motorists who filled up his Ford 150 truck at Sam's today. "People staying at home is really driving down the cost of gas."
The $1.78 average price is close to the depths reached in average gas prices in Chattanooga in late 2018 and analysts expect prices could go even lower.
"Gas prices have spent virtually all of March marching lower, with the drop continuing as the coronavirus destroys oil demand globally, leading to the lowest oil prices we've seen in 18 years, paving the way for still an additional 35-75 cent per gallon drop at most stations in the weeks ahead," said Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy. "I don't think I've ever seen such a collapse in prices, even including the Great Recession. What we're witnessing is easily going to go down as the great collapse in oil demand, and for motorists hurrying to fill up today, they're wasting their money as prices will continue to drop in the days ahead."
At gas stations are passing along the drop several weeks behind, and there's plenty more room for prices to drop, putting 99 cents per gallon prices as a strong possibility for perhaps many more stations than we previously anticipated. This is truly an unprecedented turn of events."
At a BP station in London, Kentucky, the price of regular gas fell today to only 99 cents per gallon - the lowest price in the country.
Despite the Federal Reserve launching a number of programs to shore up markets and President Trump buying oil supplies for the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, oil prices still fell in trading Monday morning with West Texas Intermediate down 1.2% at $22.40 a barrel and Brent crude down 3.7% at $26.

DETROIT – December 10, 2012 – President Barack Obama today visited Detroit Diesel Corporation to recognize that the company's Detroit™ DT12™ automated manual transmission and the new Detroit DD15® proprietary asymmetric turbocharger will be produced at the Detroit brand manufacturing headquarters in Redford, Michigan.
The addition of the Detroit DT12 automated manual transmission and DD15 proprietary asymmetric turbo to the full line of Detroit brand engines and axles at the facility represents a capital investment of $120 million and will result in the addition of 115 direct jobs to UAW 163, these unions represent the Detroit brand axle and engine production workers.
Detroit's integrated powertrain – which includes Detroit Engines, Detroit Axles and the new Detroit DT12 Transmission – is part of Daimler Trucks' Global Excellence Strategy to have uniform production standards and processes worldwide, resulting in the most efficient, highest quality and lowest cost of ownership products in the industry.
Optimized powertrain design and engineering is critical to DTNA's environmental leadership. An example of this leadership is evident with DTNA's GHG14 (Greenhouse Gas 2014) compliance, which was achieved one full year ahead of the mandate for certification by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). DTNA's complete portfolio of model year 2013 on-highway, vocational, and medium duty vehicles and Detroit brand engines are fully compliant with the new GHG14 regulations. The Detroit brand headquarters in Redford is also a leader in environment stewardship focusing on reducing, re-using and recycling. The facility has reached its goal of achieving zero waste to landfill and recycled over 20,000 tons of material in 2012.
Ground breaking fuel efficiency results of the new components were exemplified during Freightliner's Evolution of Efficiency Tour earlier this year. The new 2014 Cascadia® Evolution powered only by the newly designed Detroit DD15 with the new proprietary asymmetric turbocharger and the DT12 automated manual transmission achieved an impressive 10.67 miles per gallon.
The testing was conducted at the Continental Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas. There, the truck traveled the 8.5 mile closed-course track for 1,000 miles nonstop at an average speed of 60 mph, with a GCW of 76,000 lbs. Fuel consumption and distance traveled were measured at the end of the demonstration by Automotive Testing and Development Services (ATDS), an independent, third-party auditor using high-accuracy fuel flow meters.
The new Detroit DT12 combines the operational ease of an automatic with the efficiency of a manual transmission, resulting in enhanced fuel economy, vehicle performance and safety.
The newly designed Detroit DD15 engine features a proprietary asymmetric turbocharger with a next-generation amplified common rail system (ACRS), which not only improves performance and fuel economy, but reduces overall weight and complexity. The variable-speed water pump and optimized oil pump reduce load on the engine, further contributing to the improvements in fuel economy.
Additional engine enhancements include an optimized piston design, which reduces oil consumption through the use of an improved oil control ring; and ACRS, which provides higher injector pressure for improved combustion control while eliminating the pressure regulator, improving overall engine performance.
Powered exclusively by Detroit and featuring some of the most advanced aerodynamic enhancements in the industry, the Cascadia® Evolution delivers up to an additional 7 percent improvement in fuel economy over an EPA 2010-compliant Cascadia equipped with a first generation aerodynamic package and up to a 5 percent improvement compared to a current model year 2013 Cascadia equipped with the latest aerodynamic upgrades.

Canonical Won't Ship Latest Kernel In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Even though it's not the official announcement, but, Brad Gigg, team leader of kernel developers at Canonical, has mentioned the kernel version for Ubuntu 20.04 in his Ubuntu mailing list.
This may discourage the people who were hoping for the latest stable kernel 5.5 and get the hardware support for Ryzen or Navi GPU or Raspberry Pi 4. However, the Focal Fossa 20.04 will be based on the upstream Linux 5.4 kernel.
Why is Canonical relying on kernel 5.4?
The last date for the kernel freeze is April 9, 2020. It may be enough time to include the kernel 5.5 but Canonical will still rely upon the long-term support kernel 5.4.
If you're not familiar with the development cycle of Ubuntu 20.04, check out the release roadmap for Ubuntu 20.04.
The purpose of the LTS releases is to provide long-term reliable support and stability for all the business, enterprise and home users. Hence, it is the best practice to feature all the components which are fully tried and tested.
The inclusion of kernel 5.5 needs the commitment to support and update continuously for five years as it is not a long-term release. Additionally, releasing a new kernel too quickly may also introduce some bugs and issues, and may not be suitable for the enterprise.
Therefore, Canonical may want less effort and hassle-free components like kernel 5.4 LTS that have support until 2021 by kernel developers.
Here's a solution to support the latest hardware
Even though Ubuntu 20.04 won't provide the feature of the latest kernel, you still will be able to upgrade to newer kernels on Ubuntu 20.04.
You just have to wait until the 20.04.2 release that will have HWE kernel release. Then, you may update your kernel with HWE and run backport version with the latest feature on old kernels.
Note: Backporting is the process of making new software run on something old. A version of something new that's been modified to run on something old is called a "backport".
And for those who don't know, Ubuntu releases at least two kernels: the most stable General Availability (GA) kernel which does not get updated until point releases and the most recent Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel which provide the newer kernel and X support for existing Ubuntu LTS releases.
For more details about the Ubuntu Hardware Enablements, you can read from the official site here.

BALTIMORE, MD. – The UMBC swimming and diving teams travel to Boston this weekend for the America East Championships held at Boston University. A year ago, the Retrievers swept the conference championships, with the men and women both bringing home top team honors. The men's squad has won the America East title eight straight years, and a conference championship in each of the last 14 seasons, while the women are looking for their second straight victory and fourth championship in six seasons.
Senior Abbey McKenney (Wilmington, Del./Brandywine), last year's Most Outstanding Female swimmer will lead the women's squad. At the 2011 America East Championships, McKenney won three individual gold medals, in addition to anchoring the 200 free relay to a gold and a pool record. In the 100 free, she set a pool, UMBC, and America East record with a time of 49.66. This season, McKenney has won six events during the dual season and helped the Retrievers to claim ten relay wins.
The Retrievers will also look to junior Jennifer Kotonias (Burtonsville, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) in their attempt at a repeat. Last year, Kotonias won the 400 IM while placing second and third in the 200 IM and 200 butterfly, respectively. During the 2011-12 season, the junior has won eight individual events, with five of the victories coming in the 200 fly.
In addition, a strong contingent of upperclassmen will contribute to the Retrievers' repeat effort. Senior captains Ashley Miller (New Smyrna Beach, Fla./New Smyrna Beach) and Laura Tilman (Miami, Fla./Ransom Evergaldes) have championship experience and have performed well this season, winning three events combined.
In addition, senior Ashley Sippel (Rockville, Md./Thomas Wootton) placed eighth in the 200 free last year and has claimed that event twice this year in the dual season.
For the men, the Retrievers' attempt for a ninth straight America East crown will be led by a combination of veterans and championship meet newcomers.
Junior Pierre De Waal (Pretoria, South Africa/Tuks Sport) was a two-time individual event winner a year ago, claiming a gold medal in both the 500 and 1,650 free events. He also helped the 800 free relay team break pool, meet and school records while claiming gold. During the 2011-12 season, De Waal has picked up a team-high ten dual meet wins.
Last year's 200 backstroke champion, Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science), also returns for the Retrievers looking to defend his title.
And while UMBC has plenty of experience, a pair of newcomers also look to make a mark at the championships. Mid-year transfer Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College) made quite an impact in the second half of the Retrievers' season, winning eight events in just three meets. For his efforts, Hussein was twice named the America East Male Swimmer of the Week.
Freshman Lauri Kaei (Harjumaa, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) will also be a factor for UMBC at his first America East meet. In his first season in Baltimore, Kaei picked up seven wins during the dual meet season.
The four day meet begins Thurs., Feb 23 at 10 a.m. and continues Friday through Saturday at the Boston University Aquatic Center. Check out the UMBC Dawg Blog for live updates from this weekend's action in Boston.

Q: How to set up AJAX path to SimpleHTTP server using GET I have a string that is stored in a variable, request_str, and I want to pass that data to a SimpleHTTP python web server. I am unsure how to go about actually connecting the AJAX that I have to the simpleHTTP server.
Here is the ajax I've set up so far
$.ajax({
        url: "SOMEPLACE",
        data: {
            "key": request_str.toUpperCase()
        }
    });

Here is the python code for the SimpleHTTP server I'm using.
"""
Serves files out of its current directory
Dosen't handle POST request
"""

import SocketServer
import SimpleHTTPServer

PORT = 9090

def move():
    """ sample function to be called via a URL"""
    return 'hi'

class CustomHandler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        #Sample values in self for URL: http://localhost:9090/jsxmlrpc-0.3/
        #self.path  '/jsxmlrpc-0.3/'
        #self.raw_requestline   'GET /jsxmlrpc-0.3/ HTTP/1.1rn'
        #self.client_address    ('127.0.0.1', 3727)
        if self.path=='/move':
            #This URL will trigger our sample function and send what it returns back to the browser
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(move()) #call sample function here
            return
        else:
            #serve files, and directory listings by following self.path from
            #current working directory
            SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET(self)

httpd = SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer(('localhost', PORT),CustomHandler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

The reason I ask how to set it up using GET, is because the way the server is set up. I am open to suggestions, and changing it to POST, if I can get a clear explanation. Someone told me I should json the data, but I'm not sure what that means.
Looking forward to the help!

A: I assume you're using JQuery because of that $ function. It will be helpful to refer to the JQuery documentation: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
The url field is where the request will get sent to. As with any url, you can pass GET variables by typing them directly into the url:
$.ajax() { url: 'SOMEPLACE?foo=bar&hello=world };

But JQuery ajax object also has a data field. From the documentation page: "[The data field] is converted to a query string, if not already a string. It's appended to the url for GET-requests". So another way, and possibly what was meant by json'ing the data, of submitting the request would be:
$.ajax() { url: 'SOMEPLACE', data: {foo: 'bar', hello: 'world'}};

Also note by default, JQuery ajax requests are GET. You can change it with the type field.
$.ajax() { url: 'SOMEPLACE', data: {var1: 'val1', var2: 'val2'}, type: 'POST'};

As for the server-side python:
I don't think the server is looking for get variables. It just has a conditional based on the path in the url. So if you have been sending GETs correctly via the JavaScript and not getting behavior - it is because the logic is missing from the server end.
It appears that SimpleHTTPServer is just that - simple. So in order to extract GET variables, you will have to do some string parsing. Consider some url parsing functions: https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html#urlparse.parse_qs

A: For the front end AJAX call, Toby summarized it nicely. If you wanted to do a GET request, do
$.get("http://localhost:9090/endpoint?thing1=val", ....

Then on the server side, you need to add a couple of things
"""
Serves files out of its current directory
Dosen't handle POST request
"""

import SocketServer
import SimpleHTTPServer
from urlparse import urlparse

PORT = 9090

def move():
    """ sample function to be called via a URL"""
    return 'hi'

class CustomHandler(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        #Sample values in self for URL: http://localhost:9090/jsxmlrpc-0.3/
        #self.path  '/jsxmlrpc-0.3/'
        #self.raw_requestline   'GET /jsxmlrpc-0.3/ HTTP/1.1rn'
        #self.client_address    ('127.0.0.1', 3727)

    # Split get request up into components
    req = urlparse(self.path)

    # If requesting for /move
    if req.path =='/move':
            #This URL will trigger our sample function and send what it returns back to the browser
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header('Content-type','text/html')
            self.end_headers()
            self.wfile.write(move()) #call sample function here
            return
        else:
            #serve files, and directory listings by following self.path from
            #current working directory
            SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET(self)

    # Else if requesting /endpoint
    elif req.path == '/endpoint':
        # Print request query
        print req.query
        # Do other stuffs...

httpd = SocketServer.ThreadingTCPServer(('localhost', PORT),CustomHandler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()

Basically, you just need to add a method of differentiating GET requests and a method for parsing the query data they are sending. The urlparse module is helpful for this. For more documentation on how to use it, see https://docs.python.org/2/library/urlparse.html

Q: Angular 4: Using mockRespond with RxJS Observables I've recently built an application that works and I'm trying to build a test.  My service fetches items from an API backend:

export class CatfactService {

    constructor(private http: Http) {}
    getFacts() {
        const url = "http://www.catfact.info/api/v1/facts.json";
        return this.http.get(url).map(this.extractData)
            .catch(this.handleError);
    }

Inside my component I'm able to subscribe to the API response.  The result of the facts variable is the response details from the API:

ngOnInit() {
    this.counter = this.start;
    this.service.getFacts().subscribe((facts) => {
        this.results = facts.facts;
    });
}

Now, I'm building a test for the service, and strangely the subscribe method gets the argument, but rather than the argument being the response data, it returns a promise that ultimately resolves to the mocked values.

import {
    TestBed,
    inject,
    fakeAsync,
    tick
} from '@angular/core/testing';

import {
    CatfactService
} from './catfact.service';
import {
    HttpModule,
    Http,
    BaseRequestOptions,
    XHRBackend,
    ResponseOptions
} from '@angular/http';
import {
    MockBackend
} from '@angular/http/testing';
describe('CatfactService', () => {
    beforeEach(() => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            imports: [HttpModule],
            providers: [
                CatfactService,
                MockBackend,
                BaseRequestOptions,
                {
                    provide: Http,
                    useFactory: (backend, options) => new Http(backend, options),
                    deps: [MockBackend, BaseRequestOptions]
                }
            ],
            imports: [
                HttpModule
            ]
        });
    });

    it('should return reasonable json', inject([CatfactService, MockBackend], fakeAsync((service: CatfactService, mockBackend) => {

        const mockResponse = {
            data: [{
                    id: 0,
                    details: 'All cats are lions'
                },
                {
                    id: 1,
                    details: 'Video 1'
                },
                {
                    id: 2,
                    details: 'Video 2'
                },
                {
                    id: 3,
                    details: 'Video 3'
                },
            ]
        };

        mockBackend.connections.subscribe(connection => {
            connection.mockRespond(new Response(JSON.stringify(mockResponse)));
        });

        service.getFacts().subscribe((facts) => {
            facts.then((facts2) => {
                expect(facts2.length).toBe(4);
                expect(facts2[0].details).toEqual("All cats are lions");
            });
        });

        tick();
    })));
});

The fact that calling the subscribe method returns the actual response in the actual application, but a promise in the test, leads me to believe I've set up the mocking of the data incorrectly in the application.
I'm using the following versions of Angular:

ng -v
    _                      _                 ____ _     ___

A: Here is a fixed version of the spec. The main issue was that you weren't importing the angular Response.
            import { TestBed, inject, fakeAsync, tick } from '@angular/core/testing';

            import { CatfactService } from './catfact.service';
            import { HttpModule, Http, BaseRequestOptions, XHRBackend, ResponseOptions, Response, RequestOptions } from '@angular/http';
            import { MockBackend } from '@angular/http/testing';
            describe('CatfactService', () => {
                beforeEach(() => {
                    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
                        imports: [HttpModule],
                        providers: [

                        ]
                    };

                    mockBackend.connections.subscribe(connection => {

Frank Girardot: Steroids and baseball: A…
Frank Girardot: Steroids and baseball: A reality double play
Baseball should embrace its steroid era.
If it does, it will return to its rightful place as America's pastime.
On the other hand, if it keeps turning out wimpy apologies like the Mitchell Report, Major League Baseball will wind up as a chapter in America's past.
Next stop, some cable channel that carries the Tour De France or (yawn) German League Soccer, but needs late-night filler.
On Thursday, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell released the results of a 20-month investigation into steroid use by Major League players. The investigation named names and cast a spotlight on a subculture that runs through all American sports.
Mitchell gave a bunch of recommendations like using an outside testing agency, and unannounced, year-round testing.
They do that in the Tour De France. Guess what? No one watches. BORING.
After reading the report, commissioner Bud Selig promised he would take action. I think he said the same thing after he let the 2002 All-Star Game end in a tie. Anyone know who won in 2003? 2004? This year?
Action means bold steps.
It's time for the league to take a page from professional wrestling, which bills itself not as a sport, but as "sports entertainment."
Allow the players to be 'roid- raging junkies. Put together a collection of nine really bad guys led by the likes of Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Paul Lo Duca and F.P. Santangelo. Give 'em nicknames and put them all on one team.
They could take on new personas, sort of like Deuce 'N' Domino or Finley and Hornswoggle from Friday Night Smackdown. They could wear outrageous glittery costumes like Ric Flair or feathered boas like Hulk Hogan.
This new team of baseball outlaws could travel around the country and play the hometown heroes, who might dabble in human growth hormone, but never touch steroids.
Think about the possibilities. MLB Divas anyone?
Bonds and the Outlaws could have their own theme song, they could use bats to beat umpires over bad calls and they could even go in to the stands and grab a chair or two to beat their opponents senseless.
Instead of pennants and sportswriter awards, Major League Baseball could give its top players belts. That's what baseball needs, more belts.
In the new league, a positive test for performance enhancers wouldn't subject the player to a ban from the field of play, it would enhance his reputation as an Outlaw in a world that desperately needs more outlaws.
Think about the spin-off reality shows. Not the ESPN borefest "Bonds on Bonds." I'd like to watch "Lo Duca on Something."
The hard reality is this: Cheaters will always cheat; owners will always look the other way when the stands are full; and the players will do whatever it takes to get a multimillion-dollar contract and a shot at stardom.
Let's get Vince McMahon in that commissioner's seat as soon as possible and be done with it.

Raw Senate debate in fight to end voting bill filibuster


Colombo, Nov 8 : Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Sarath Amunugama said on Thursday that the new government would launch new projects to attract tourists and more foreign direct investments (FDI) to strengthen the country's economy.
Amaunugama said that the Sri Lankan ambassadors and high commissioners appointed in foreign countries had been briefed to launch campaigns to attract tourists and FDI in addition to fulfilling their diplomatic obligations, Xinhua news agency reorted.
Amunugama, earlier this week said that travel advisories which had been issued by some foreign governments against visiting Sri Lanka were unnecessary as public life remained largely undisrupted by the ongoing political turbulence and tourists had not been subjected to any inconvenience.
He said the new government was fully committed to safeguarding and improving the tourism industry.
Sri Lanka has been facing political turmoil since October 26, when President Maithripala Sirisena dissolved his Cabinet, sacked Prime Minister Wickremesinghe and appointed former President Mahinda Rajapaksa to the post.
President Sirisena suspended the Parliament till November 14.

Fairbanks Ice Dogs' nine-game win streak ends
December 12, 2009 nahl
FAIRBANKS – Call it coincidental and call it the end of a nine-game winning streak for the Fairbanks Ice Dogs.
The Ice Dogs gave up four goals in the third period to the Kenai River Brown Bears and fell 4-2 to their intrastate rival in Saturday night\'s opener of a North American Hockey League series in Soldotna.
On the same night at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks, the Alaska Nanooks gave up four goals in the third period of a 5-3 loss to the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks, whom the Ice Dogs watched practice on Thursday because two of their former players are now with the Mavericks – junior defenseman Nick Von Bokern and freshman forward Andrew McCabe.
The Ice Dogs, in third place in the West Division at 19-12-1, seized a 2-0 lead in a span of 50 seconds in the second period Saturday night on the Olympic-size ice of the Soldotna Sports Center.
Joe Krause, with assists from Justin Kirchhevel and Tyler Voight, provided the game\'s first goal at 10:01 of the second and Kirchhevel, with helpers from Kyle Politz and Jared Larson, made it 2-0 at the 10:51 mark.
Johan Skinnars scored two power play goals in the third for Kenai. The first one at 5:40 ignited the Brown Bears\' rally.
Brad Fusaro tied the score at 11:22 and Skinnars produced the game-winner with a man-advantage marker at 12:28. Trace Strahle made an empty-net deposit at the 19:34 mark to seal the win for the last-place Brown Bears (7-23-2).
Ice Dogs goaltender Mike Taffe recorded 34 saves and Brown Bears counterpart Dainis Vasiljevs made 20 stops.
The series concludes at 5 p.m. today.

Winnebago County GOP Chairman Eli Nicolosi to challenge Illinois Sen. Dave Syverson
Ken DeCoster
Rockford Register Star
ROCKFORD — Longtime State Sen. Dave Syverson, R-Cherry Valley, will have a primary challenge in 2022.
Winnebago County Republican Party Chairman Eli Nicolosi said he plans to formally announce his campaign to run against Syverson on July 19.
The Rockford resident filed paperwork to register Friends of Eli Nicolosi with the Illinois Board of Elections on Tuesday. The stated purpose of the committee is to elect Nicolosi to the 35th district of the Illinois Senate, the seat occupied by Syverson since 1993.
"The only thing I will confirm is that I did submit papers on the State Board of Elections website," Nicolosi said Saturday. "It's pretty easy to draw a conclusion, but I would like to give an official announcement."
More:Your turn: Once again, Springfield fails to put us on the map
The two Republicans will face off in the state's primary election June 28. The general election will be held Nov. 8.
Nicolosi, 42, served on the Winnebago County Board from 2014 until 2018. He has been chairman of the Winnebago County Republican Party since 2020.
The Illinois Senate's 35th District includes sections of Winnebago, Boone, DeKalb, Kane and McHenry counties.
Syverson, who has served in the Illinois Senate since 1993, said he's not "overly surprised" by Nicolosi's challenge.
"Obviously, the seat belongs to the people in the district, so anyone can run for it," Syverson said. "It certainly is up to him if he wants to do that."
Syverson, 64, said he will run on his record, which he said includes passage of hundreds of bills, including property tax caps and ethics reform legislation.A gaming bill, which included a Rockford casino license and was approved by the General Assembly, was sponsored by Syverson.
More:Ready to rock? Construction of temporary Rockford casino approved
Hard Rock Casino Rockford's application to operate a casino on East State Street near Interstate 90 is pending before the Illinois Gaming Board.
Syverson said he's most proud of his constituent service.
"We help hundreds of people every month deal with their issues with the state," he said. "The work we do on behalf of helping people through those processes, that's probably the most rewarding part because it's actually touching people's lives."

Good stuff from Pitt DC Dave Huxtable
Doug Samuels
New Pitt defensive coordinator Dave Huxtable sat down with PittPantherVision, and former Pitt quarterback Pat Bostick to talk about his objectives through spring ball and what drew him to Pittsburgh.
Huxtable says that the tradition at Pitt and the familiarity he had working with Paul Chryst last year at Wisconsin made this new opportunity very appealing.
According to Huxtable, the main goal through spring ball is that the defense comes out with a good grasp on the new scheme and that players become "professionals at their techniques" so they are prepared for the fall.
Bostick also asked Huxtable if any leaders are emerging at this point, and Huxtable responded by saying "I think that's a little longer of a process. Right now they're all trying to learn, and once they gain that confidence in knowing what they're doing, I think some leaders will emerge".
Doug has been with FootballScoop for over a decade and currently serves as Director of Content. A former small college football player and college assistant, Samuels now serves as the head coach at Comstock Park HS (MI). He's married with two kids and lives just south of Grand Rapids in Byron Center, MI.

This project was supported by K23 MH090247. The authors wish to thank Dr. Timothy Brown for his helpful comments on earlier versions of this work.
Intrusive parenting has been positively associated with child anxiety, although examinations of this relationship to date have been largely confined to middle to upper middle class families and have rarely used longitudinal designs. With several leading interventions for child anxiety emphasizing the reduction of parental intrusiveness, it is critical to determine whether the links between parental intrusiveness and child anxiety broadly apply to families of all financial means, and whether parental intrusiveness prospectively predicts the development of child anxiety. This study employed latent growth curve analysis to evaluate the interactive effects of maternal intrusiveness and financial means on the developmental trajectory of child anxiety from 1st grade to age 15 in 1,121 children (50.7 % male) and their parents from the NICHD SECCYD. The overall model was found to provide good fit, revealing that early maternal intrusiveness and financial means did not impact individual trajectories of change in child anxiety, which were stable from 1st to 5th grade, and then decrease from 5th grade to age 15. Cross-sectional analyses also examined whether family financial means moderated contemporaneous relationships between maternal intrusiveness and child anxiety in 3rd and 5th grades. The relationship between maternal intrusiveness and child anxiety was moderated by family financial means for 1st graders, with stronger links found among children of lower family financial means, but not for 3rd and 5th graders. Neither maternal intrusiveness nor financial means in 1st grade predicted subsequent changes in anxiety across childhood. Findings help elucidate for whom and when maternal intrusiveness has the greatest link with child anxiety and can inform targeted treatment efforts.

I did it. I went to the other side of the world. Crikey, it's far isn't it? I thought I had an idea of what the cities would be like but no clue about the rest, other than what a few Google images and Trip Advisor searches could let me know. I was surprised and excited by what I found out there. What a magical place. And magic struck again with the postcards. You'd think I'd be used to process by now but every time a postcard was scattered, that nervous excitement kicked in again. The lovely people of Australia were so warm, welcoming and supportive of the project. And, after wondering if I would receive any responses, luck was on my side.
I felt like I watched approximately 20 films on the flight over. It would have been the perfect time, as I mentioned in my Aus launch blog, to write the postcards. Of course with the frantic last-minute packing and my fussy nature when it comes to choosing the right cards – I didn't get them in time. Classic. And so, on arrival in Melbourne, I headed into the city to find what I thought – maybe, possibly, not sure – what I was looking for.
The Melbourne Shop by Lumbi was where I spotted some postcards with a design of Australian stamps all over them. That'll do nicely. I picked up 20 and took them to the counter. Super helpful and lovely, Elle, served me (photo below) and was a more than a little puzzled by my purchase of so many of the same postcard. I told her why, we chatted for a while and then I decided to return a little later to make it up to the whole 60. Job done.
Postcards purchased, now it was time to go off and get writing. The familiar wrist-ache kicked in. Always worth it.
It felt good to be writing postcards again and it felt fantastic to be re-launching a project I love so dearly.
As soon as I began to write, I was itching to get out there and leave some around the city. My first stop was the State Library. I had a tip-off from a reader that there was an exhibition there which was right up my street.
And how right she was…..
Please Note: My 60 Postcards Facebook page is temporarily out of action (for two weeks) due to another blog series I am writing called, 'Girl Offline', on the Huffington Post. Read more here.


Interestingly, Army, Air Force and Navy/Marines will be paid, but the Coast Guard will not, not a part of DOD.
Trump apparently made some arrangement for them to be paid. Meanwhile, others are being forced to work with no pay.
So, a gov't employee union has filed suit against him. Good. Slavery is supposed to be outlawed.
One of the country's largest unions representing federal workers is suing the Trump administration over the government shutdown, claiming that it is illegal to require employees to work without pay.
ONE time, no guarantees for 1/15/19 payday.
"President Trump on Friday issued an executive order freezing the salaries for federal workers. For 800,000 federal employees furloughed during the partial government shutdown or working without pay, it was like rubbing salt into a wound. https://t.co/QASY8v5IGF"
We have come to the table time and time again with bipartisan solutions to end this reckless shutdown (including a 100% vote in the Senate) but the Administration won't take yes for an answer. It's time for the GOP to stand up to the President and work with us to end this.
"President Trump confirms that he's willing to keep the government shutdown going for more than a year to get the border wall"
"WATCH: President Trump says he is considering declaring a national emergency as a potential attempt to circumvent Congress for border wall funding. https://t.co/7CYDuBS2pn"
NEWS — THE PRESIDENT has sent a letter to members of congress of both parties calling for a border wall.

It's sometimes difficult to know how to spell the word ceilidh/Ceilidh. A few I've seen are cili caily ceili ceilid cilidh cielidh to say a few. Different accents don't help, an Aberdeen accent is different from Aberdeenshire, Angus, Deeside and Moray. Some have doric language attached. In Scotland, ceilidhs or ceilidh's are often different with names for different dances such as strip the willow is drops of brandy. In Stonehaven it is the same.
An Aberdonian dance can be a country dance band, a dance band, a ceilidh band, a ceilidh dance band. But just as fun is had at a Dundee, Perth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Highland, Lowland, Elgin, Peterhead, Ayr, Dumfries, Galashiels, Selkirk or Borders Ceilidh,
Ceilidhs are played at weddings or wedding or corporate events or event, parties or a party, anniversary or anniversaries, birthday or birthdays, also many charity functions and do's.
The dances are such fun to do. It makes it much easier with a caller (someone who teaches the dance )
the venue is very important. We play Stonehaven Town Hall, many village halls. Football and rugby stadiums such as Pittoddrie, Murrayfield Hampden.
Festival or festivals are a lot of fun as well. Hebcelt, Shetland and Orkney. Playing at Celtic Connections is a dream.

Post subject: Best method of fixing oak fire surround.
I have been making a solid oak beam fire surround, the uprights are 6" x 6" and the mantle is 8" x 8".
The uprights connect to the mantle with mortice and tenon jounts that are secured with oak pegs from behind (i don't want them visible).
Now i'm looking at the best method of fixing it to the wall (plaster over blockwork).
The oak is part air dried green and is very heavy and is obviously going to move so i was thinking of resin bonding 12mm stud into the blockwork leaving a 4"-6" projection from the wall to slide into the beam (unbonded for movement) and a number of flat strap brackets fixed to the back of the timber then screwed to the wall!
Post subject: Re: Best method of fixing oak fire surround.
Sounds reasonable. Resin bonded threaded rod should work well enough. For an 8in deep mantle I'd be thinking more in terms of 6in deep holes drilled so that they rise slightly from the rear face to the front face. That way they'll tend to wedge themselves onto the steel rod. Any bracketry or builders band can be buried below the level of the plasterwork and plastered-in.
What is the best method to plasterboard external brick wall?

Investing in the End of the World: Cash-Flush Preppers Try to Up Their Odds of Disaster Survival
By Drew Grant • 04/09/13 7:20pm
Vivos Underground Shelter Complex (TerraVivos.com)
While Ms. Drescher and Milo seem to be aiming for the Hamptons as an immediate destination if disaster should strike, the question for others—assuming they make it out of the city—is: where do you go next? Or as the sales pitch from Robert Vicino begins, "How do you prepare for the end of the world when you're literally living at Ground Zero?"
Mr. Vicino is the founder of the Vivos Group, a network of luxury bunkers across the U.S. (Europe is pending), where, for $50,000, you can buy yourself co-ownership in what the former real estate salesman is calling "life assurance." "We have 25,000 members around the world," Mr. Vicino told The Observer, adding that the majority of his clients—whom he refers to as "middle class"—reside in densely populated cities.
"We understand that not everyone is very rich, or else they'd have their own bunker," Mr. Vicino said. "Vivos is designed for the middle class—people who make six but maybe not seven figures. Mainly we see people that are highly intelligent and well-educated: doctors, lawyers and Wall Street types, sure."
Mr. Vicino is in the process of building two Vivos facilities in upstate New York, which seems to attest to the fact that locals are investing in their end-of-the-world experience. Abandoned missile silos are being reimagined as luxury bunkers, like Larry Hall's Survival Condo Project in Kansas. But the real hidden gem of Cold War opulence is the Atlas F missile silo luxury home, located in the Adirondacks and currently on the market for $3.03 million. The estate includes its own tarmac on which to land your superjet after a quick and convenient puddle-jump.
What Vivos and these other upscale survival housing outfits are really selling, though, is the idea of a comfortable postapocalyptic existence: this isn't your mom and pop's Cold War backyard bunker.
There are currently six Vivos facilities across the U.S. in one stage of development or another; the smallest facility is 10,000 square feet and holds 80 humans, while the largest is 120,000 square feet and holds 1,000.
Milo said he had looked into buying a stake in Vivos, but his wife put her foot down. Still, he told The Observer, his philosophy remained the same: "I'm a big proponent of having stuff and not needing it, rather than not having it and needing it."
One wouldn't think such a maxim would be hard for New York City's 1 percenters to get behind, and yet Milo said too many of his social classmates—like Ms. Drescher's castmates—have their heads buried in the sand. "None of my friends do this. They think I was out of my mind," he said. "Though I joke with them, 'When this happens, you'll be trying to get to my apartment.'"
Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead.
While reporting this story, The Observer ran into actor Norman Reedus one night at the Spotted Pig. Mr. Reedus plays Daryl Dixon on AMC's smash hit The Walking Dead; who better, we figured, to compare prepping plans with than a man who spends his days pretending it's the zombie apocalypse?
But Mr. Reedus was dubious about the whole endeavor. "I think the prepping movement is kind of over," he told The Observer. "I have friends in the city who do it, but like, if it happens I'm just going to grab my kid, my guns, my motorcycle and two grand from a hidden safe."
"That's it?" we wondered. "What about amoxicillin or Cipro?"
The actor looked confused. "Once you are bitten, antibiotics won't help you."
We clarified: we weren't talking about just a zombie scenario. Still, the answer was no. "Anything you have will be stolen if you can't protect yourself. The cash will last you two weeks, and then it's a matter of guns," he said.
We floated the idea of Vivos.
"No bunkers," he said. "Fuck bunkers. They can always gas you out of bunkers."
Ignoring the question of who "they" might be, Mr. Reedus raised a good point. High-end prepping may take you so far, but most doomsday scenarios act as a great equalizer: no matter how many go bags you pack, how much cash you carry or how many escape routes you plan, surviving the chaos will most likely come down to non-monetary factors, like who has the least to lose, who has the most guns and who has the constitution to make those tough decisions along the way—survival of the fittest being one of those things that money still can't buy.
