2018 U.S. Open Betting Odds Preview
The second major of the golf season, the U.S. Open, tees off at Shinnecock Hills on Thursday. While there was a ton of hype surrounding Tiger Woods entering the first major – The Masters – the focus at the 2018 U.S. Open is on a slew of other golfers.
Dustin Johnson (+900) enters the week as the favorite. He won the St. Jude Classic by six shots and finished up by holing out for eagle. That was his second win of the season. When Johnson is on, there are not many players better than the 2016 U.S. Open champion. With his win at the St. Jude Classic, Johnson has now finished in the top 17 in his last five starts.
Rory McIlroy (+1400) finished T-8 at the Memorial and prior to that finished solo second at the BMW Championship on the European Tour. McIlroy won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but he is still very inconsistent this season. That makes him tough to back, although he's more than capable of winning. Another tricky bet is Justin Thomas (+1400), who has lost the world No. 1 ranking back to Johnson but still leads the FedExCup standings. He won the Honda Classic in February and has finished T-21 or better in seven of his last eight starts, but is usually a safer bet for the top 10 than to win.
Rose won U.S. Open in 2013
Justin Rose (+1400) followed up his win at the Fort Worth Invitational by finishing T-6 at the Memorial. He has finished in the top 20 in seven of his last eight starts. Rose is also a former U.S. Open champion, winning in 2013. It's interesting to see him ahead of Jordan Spieth (+1800), who missed the cut at the Memorial. Spieth has probably been the most disappointing player this season. He cannot seem to figure out his putter and that is seeping into other parts of his game. That is not to say that Spieth will not find his stroke this week but he's tough to consider based on recent play.
Another popular youngster, Rickie Fowler (+1800), can be feast or famine at the U.S. Open as he has missed the cut four times but he also has three top-10 finishes. Fowler finished T-8 at the Memorial, his fourth finish of T-21 or better in five starts.
All eyes on Tiger Woods
Of course, everyone will be watching Tiger Woods (+1800) closely this week. He finished T-23 at the Memorial, where he hit the ball well but could not buy a putt. The three-time U.S. Open champion has to be good off the tee because Shinnecock Hills is punishing in the rough. The conversation surrounding Woods has changed a lot, though. At The Masters, the question was whether he could win it. At the U.S. Open, it feels like making the cut and pushing for a top-10 would be a solid accomplishment for him.
Another popular player who will be closely monitored is sentimental favorite Phil Mickelson (+3000). He is coming off a T-12 at the St. Jude Classic. Mickelson has won all the majors except for the U.S. Open where he has finished solo or tied for second six times. Like Woods, Mickelson has to keep it in the fairway to have a chance against golf's younger generation.

Kedar Nath Das Gupta
Kedar Nath Das Gupta, a Bengali and friend of Rabindranath Tagore, was involved in forming the Union of East and West in January 1914. This was a society for the British and Indians in London which put on dramatic performances (having subsumed the Indian Art and Dramatic Society, formed in 1912). Das Gupta and the Society were based at 14 St Marks Crescent, London, NW1. He hoped that through the Society he could promote better understanding and collaboration between India and the West.
Das Gupta collaborated with Laurence Binyon in 1919 to adapt Kalidasa's play, Sakuntala, for the English stage. Das Gupta was able to publish through the Society some of the plays that they put on. The publication of Caliph for a Day in 1917, a Tagore play, also included photos of Das Gupta dressed in Indian clothes with three of the female members of the Society's executive, and photos of the Indian soldiers for whom the Union of the East and West had put on performances during the War.
In 1918, he published a play that he had written called Bharata, a four-act play that Das Gupta explained in the preface was drawn from writers, historians and philosophers of East and West on the four stages of life. The publication included a dedication to King George V and a quote from Lloyd George on the dust jacket. Das Gupta then migrated to New York with the Union of the East and West in the 1920s to create an umbrella movement known sometimes as the 'Fellowship of Faiths' or the 'Threefold Movement' incorporating as it did the Union of East and West, the Fellowship of Faiths and the League of Neighbours. He organized an International Conference of Faiths in Chicago in 1933. Das Gupta was also involved in organising the classes given in London in 1936 by the Swami Yogananda.

JONES: What a lovely daisy
RAM LAL: Yes beautiful. It is like the British Empire. Look at its petals, each distinct from the other like English, Indians, Canadians, Australians, Africans, but all are attached to one place. What do you call it?
JONES: England!
COHEN: The heart of gold.
RAM LAL: That's right. All are untied to the stem by the bond of love. Each has a separate existence, a special mission to fulfil, but their final goal is the same. East is East, West is West, but the twain must meet on the common ground of humanity. This is the true Union of the East and West.

Alpine club huts () or simply club huts (Clubhütten) form the majority of the over 1,300 mountain huts in the Alps and are maintained by branches, or sections, of the various Alpine clubs. Although the usual English translation of Hütte is "hut", most of them are substantial buildings designed to accommodate and feed significant numbers of hikers and climbers and to withstand harsh high alpine conditions for decades.

Purpose and facilities
They provide hikers and climbers with accommodation and shelter, mainly in the Alpine region. The greater number of these huts are managed, several are only suitable for those able to be self-contained. Although fundamentally all those involved in mountain activities have access to the huts, preferential service is given to members of the Alpine clubs. These include: reduced accommodation rates, mountaineer's meals, hot water for tea, the right to provide one's own food and alcohol-free drink (sometimes for a nominal fee). For unmanaged huts members can obtain a master key (alpine club key, Universalschlüssel or AV-Schlüssel) for a deposit from the local alpine branch. Sleeping accommodation may consist of beds, a mattress room (Matratzenlager) and emergency beds or shakedowns.

Reciprocal agreement between clubs
The larger alpine clubs in Europe have a multilateral agreement to treat members of other clubs as their own members at their club's huts (reciprocal rights). These clubs include: the German and Austrian Alpine Clubs, the Club Alpin Français, the Club Alpino Italiano, the Swiss Alpine Club and the Federación Española de Montanismo as well as several smaller clubs.

Categories
The German and Austrian Alpine Clubs as well as other alpine clubs divide their mountain huts into 3 categories based on situation and facilities as follows:

 Category I: these huts are usually situated at least 1 hour's walk from road transport or the nearest road and may have basic facilities. Some are tiny shelters near the summit of a mountain. In larger huts food and beverages may be served. Members have priority only in allocation of accommodation and claim a minimum discount of 50%.
 Category II: located in popular areas; and usually accessible by road or cableway, these huts are often open throughout the year. With better facilities and more varied catering than category I huts, members have a minimum discount of 30%.
 Category III: primarily used by day visitors and accessible by car or cableway. These huts are almost akin to hotels, offering a minimum overnight discount of 10% to alpine club members.

Private huts
In addition to the alpine club huts there is also a large number of alpine accommodation huts run by private individuals. These are listed in the List of mountain huts in the Alps.

North America
The Alpine Club of Canada  (ACC) is Canada's national mountain club, based in Canmore, Alberta, the ACC has been a focal point for Canadian mountaineers since 1906. The Alpine Club of Canada operates the largest network of back-country accommodation in North America. Its network of 25 alpine club huts are scattered across Canada, predominantly throughout the Canadian Rockies.

Earlier this month ASUS has officially announced its first ever smartphone from the upcoming ZenFone 4 series in Russia, called the ZenFone 4 Max and it is wielding dual camera set up on the back panel alongside a massive 5000mAh battery.
Now while ASUS Philippines has not confirmed local availability yet, although the case is very likely to happen, Widget City has just launched its pre-order program for the ZenFone 4 Max through their Facebook page today.
The pre-order process is pretty straightforward, you fill out the form with your details and then you will be notified by Widget City as soon as the device is ready for pickup or delivery. There are two options though when you place the order, Cash on Delivery/Shipping and Meet Up. Plus, every purchase comes with free Smart SIM with free mobile internet for 12 months. See more details through the source link below.
This new ASUS ZenFone 4 Max will be released in multiple variants in terms of RAM, storage, and processor. However, according to Widget City's pre-order page, it appears that the Philippine market will get the larger 4GB RAM with either 32GB or 64GB default storage. And all three colors will also be available - Titanium Gray, Rose Pink, and Sand Gold. As for its processor, Widget City will offer the higher Snapdragon 430 octa-core soc instead of the Snapdragon 425.
Unfortunately Widget City did not mention the pricing for the said device, I guess we won't know that until ASUS Philippines itself makes the formal announcement. But in Russia, the phone is priced at RUB 13,900 or about Php11,800.

spot out the bugs, and flaws that the game, servers, ect. might have before they drop the actual full version of bo3. So if i do say so myself i believe it is a very awesome thing, for not only the gamers but for the company. We all know how Advanced warfare was when it 1st droped and came out to world wide there was glitches hacks within the game it sucked, not to mention they took forever to get the bugs out of the game. And still to this day they are having problems with the servers none stop it was a all around waste of time the hype was huge but the game did not turn out as great as we all expected. But the Bo3 hype is going through the roof its all you hear everyone talking about, and we truly believe it will bring some of the older COD (call of duty) players back into the newer generation of gaming. There are so many gamers still playing on Call of duty black ops and Call of duty black ops 2. So with the Bo3 comming out we are hoping to bring over more players back to the call of duty communinty. That is, new generation of gamers and older generation of gamers.

GOP challengers focusing on Tsongas, not each…
GOP challengers focusing on Tsongas, not each other
By Chris Camire |
BOSTON — While the district has a new look, the two Republicans seeking to punch their ticket to Washington in the 3rd Congressional District this year are quickly becoming familiar faces.
Jon Golnik and Tom Weaver are gearing up for a rematch of the 2010 Republican primary, won by Golnik. While that race featured a crowded field of four Republicans, this year is shaping up to be a one-on-one match-up.
Although the primary is six months away, both men are already looking past each other toward incumbent U.S. Rep. Niki Tsongas, a Lowell Democrat.
"People have known since the last campaign I was going to run and end up being a congressman. They know that," said Weaver, his voice brimming with confidence. "You have to stand up. You have to protect freedom daily."
Golnik, meanwhile, is working to parlay his 2010 primary victory into a stronger campaign organization than in his previous run.
The Carlisle businessman recently announced that former Massachusetts Gov. Paul Cellucci will serve as chairman of his campaign. He has also lined up area Republicans to assist his campaign, including former State Rep. Robert Hargraves of Groton and Gardner Mayor Mark Hawke.
"We've run once before," said Golnik, a former Wall Street trader turned small-business owner who sells Boston College merchandise online. "We won a full primary decisively. We ran a very good general election campaign."
In 2010, Golnik pushed for cutting federal spending, ending corporate bailouts and stimulus spending, and repealing President Barack Obama's health-care reform plan. This year, he said his message is focused on creating jobs.
"I think that, in the past two years, the issues have become more acute," Golnik said. "There is chronic unemployment in Lowell and Lawrence. If you're not working, you're not able to put oil in your furnace or fill up your tank with gasoline."
Weaver, a Westford resident, has remained politically active over the last two years, co-founding the Show ID to Vote campaign, a national movement to establish voter-identification requirements. He has also kept in contact with area tea-party groups.
A constitutionalist who believes strongly in smaller government, Weaver has called for the elimination of the departments of Education and Energy. He said his message hasn't changed.
"We want to conserve what made us great," said Weaver, a former Navy officer and founder of an industrial water-treatment company. "What are the things that made us great? Individual responsible freedom, pursuit of the American dream, family values and faith."
Weaver finished third of four Republicans in 2010 with 21 percent of the vote.
Golnik, despite losing in Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill, beat his closest rival, Sam Meas of Haverhill, by 12 points, with 36 percent of the vote in 2010. Robert Shapiro, a retired pharmacist and math teacher, was fourth with 15 percent.
The district has a different look now, however, due to a statewide redistricting process. The district added several communities in North Central Massachusetts, including Fitchburg and Gardner, and shed the Greater Lowell towns of Billerica and Tewksbury.
"I believe it's more conservative," Weaver said. "It's very blue-collar. Worker-friendly."
While eight of the 11 towns added to Tsongas' district are represented by House Republicans on Beacon Hill, recent election results suggest its political makeup is similar to the handful of towns Tsongas is losing.
In the 2010 gubernatorial election, for example, the number of voters who supported Democrat Gov. Deval Patrick and Republican Charlie Baker was about the same in the communities being added to and eliminated from the district.
In the 2008 presidential election, Democrat Barack Obama won 56 percent of the vote in the communities that have been added to Tsongas' district, compared to 44 percent for Republican John McCain. Support for Obama and McCain was identical in the towns being removed from Tsongas' district. The Democratic and Republican vote was similar in the 2004 presidential election as well.
In the 2010 special election to replace Sen. Edward Kennedy, Republican Scott Brown won every community added to Tsongas' district under the new map. But Brown did nearly as well in many communities where Tsongas would defeat Republican Jon Golnik just 10 months later, including Billerica, Lowell and Tewksbury.
Both Golnik and Weaver said they plan to put more emphasis on fundraising this year. Tsongas has $291,924 in the bank, according to her latest filing with the Federal Election Commission.
In 2010, Golnik raised $260,686 and invested $138,000 of his own money into the campaign against Tsongas. Weaver raised $24,262 in the primary and contributed $8,585 of his own money.
Golnik said his biggest mistake in 2010 was not raising enough money.
"You need to be at six figures to win the seat," he said. "For the nomination, you won't need that much, but primary turnout is 10 percent of what it is in a general election."
Asked if they have any significant policy disagreements, both candidates said they plan to focus their campaign on Tsongas, not each other.
"We're both fiscal conservatives," Golnik said. "We both believe in power of the individual. There's not that much of a difference."
Weaver said there are differences between him and Golnik, but he doesn't want to talk about them.
"He's a good man," Weaver said. "I just talk about me. People have to do their own job."

Is it Smart to Finance a Car?
There are two schools of thought when it comes to whether it is smart to finance a car. One says that you should live a cash-only life, which is very difficult to do, and the other is that using a car loan intelligently is very helpful in many aspects of your life, particularly your credit.
If you want to have a high credit score, financing a car is almost a must. The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) creates the most widely used credit scores. When a credit score is being built by FICO, thirty-five percent of the score is based on your payment history, and ten percent is built on the types of credit that you have used. Financing a car will not only establish a payment history, but also diversify the types of credit (credit mix) that you have used. To further diversify your types of credit, you can obtain a credit card.
Additionally, when you apply for a car loan, lenders will request your auto-enhanced credit score from FICO. This score is always different from your basic credit score, in that it adds or deducts points based on your previous use of auto loans and leases. If you have never had a car loan, this score will be nearly the same as your basic score. If you have had an auto loan and paid it on time for at least twelve months, then this score will be higher. On the other hand, if you have made even a single late payment on a car loan or defaulted, this score will be at least 100 points lower than your baseline score.
A third point about financing a car is that it can help you get lower interest rates in the future. After repaying one car loan responsibly, your credit score may be high enough to qualify you for a lower interest rate the next time you need a loan of any type. Think about it: if lenders have seen that you are willing, capable, and likely to pay off one loan, they are going to trust that you'll do it again the next time around. You're less of a risk in their eyes, which translates into lower rates.
Monthly Payment: should be just 8% of your income, if even that much.
Loan Term: should be as short as possible. A term of 36-48 months is best.
Down Payment: 10% for a used vehicle, 20% or a new one.
When you look at all of these points, you can see that financing a car can be a smart option, as long as you are smart in how you go about it.
We got a car loan because it allowed us to pay off higher interest debt. My husband graduated from grad school, got a job an hour away and we live snowy buffalo with a kid, we needed a second car. We had enough money to either pay off all is student loan debt (5.75%-6.55%) or buy a car, not both. Since we were able to get a loan for 1%, and we bought used car we took the car loan and paid off the student loans. We still are going to pay off the car loan as fast as we can, but I feel happy with what we did.

Obsidian boss "very tempted" to launch Planescape: Torment sequel Kickstarter
When he's not busy working with Brian Fargo on the Wasteland reboot, Obsidian boss Chris Avellone is doing a lot of thinking about a Planescape: Torment sequel. Not quite a sequel, though, but more like one of those "spiritual successors" that – in this case – does everything the original did, but without those problematic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules (and the expensive licence, maybe).
"Yes! Very tempted," he told GamesIndustry when asked about the possibility of a Planescape: Torment sequel Kickstarter project being a thing that could actually happen.
"To be honest I don't know if I'd want to do it as a Planescape game – I think a better approach would be to ignore the D&D mechanics and respect what Planescape was trying to do and what the game did and see if you can do what Fallout did when it became the spiritual successor to Wasteland," he said.
"I think if you made a game using some of the concepts of Planescape, the metaphysical ideas and the plane travel, without using the D&D mechanics, you could actually come up with a much better game."
According to Avellone – who worked on the original Planescape: Torment for Black Isle, released back in 1999 to instant cult status – the D&D ruleset "got in the way" of the game experience at times.
"We had to ignore certain spells, change up the class mechanic so that you can switch at any time you like by remembering abilities. That was stuff that D&D didn't allow for, it was too restraining in some respects," he explained. "If we did do a spiritual successor, then I don't know if we'd use the Planescape licence or attach the mechanics, perhaps something that has a different feel to Torment."
Yes, yes, and YES. I'm putting money in my piggybank right now.

Introduction (current)
Wolwedans Sustainability
Since its inception 25 years ago, Wolwedans has been guided by an approach where people, planet and profit were all equally important. Right from the start the commercial aim of the business has been to ensure the NamibRand Nature Reserve's financial viability while assuring the conservation of the Pro-Namib for future generations. This approach was captured in Wolwedans' earliest mission statement: "We are committed to sustainable growth by carefully balancing quality leadership, economic progress, social responsibility and care for our environment" (Dec 1998).
Wolwedans is a founding member of the Global Ecosphere Retreats, an initiative spearheaded by the Zeitz Foundation. The Zeitz Foundation aims to transform all that we do into mechanisms that move this world forward in a sustainable manner. It is inspired by a vision of the Ecosphere – our planet and all of its life-sustaining regions – maintained in the healthiest possible state. Global Ecosphere Retreats are committed to promoting an inclusive, holistic paradigm of conservation that enhances livelihoods and fosters intercultural dialogue.

Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre Upholding Preventive Roles in Health Sector
Preventive medicine is defined as an important stage in human health protection and care. In the past years, Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre has made ongoing efforts to reshuffle its apparatus, raise employee capacities, and overcome every difficulty to fulfil its assigned tasks.
Operating in a mountainous province where the proportion of mountainous ethnic groups is high, and material life and healthcare knowledge of people are limited, the roles of Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre become tougher to play; particularly, the so-called double burden of disease patterns in the province is a major challenge to its professional operations. In addition to preventing and controlling classical but recurrent infectious diseases, preventing emerging dangerous infectious diseases is a big challenge. Besides, the shift of disease patterns caused by urbanisation process and socioeconomic development requires the effective prevention and control of chronic diseases, non-communicable diseases, prevention of accidents and injuries, and management of health workers.
To meet the demand of timely human health care and protection in the province, the Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre has rapidly restructured its organisational apparatus according to Circular 51/2014/TT-BYE of the Ministry of Health dated December 29, 2014 on functions, duties and powers of provincially and municipally-run preventive medicine centres. Besides, the centre has focused on strengthening human resources, training and fostering professional knowledge of epidemiology, community health, laboratory and state management for its employees. Professionally, the centre has concentrated on controlling communicable diseases, and controlling non-communicable diseases, nutrition, health, environment, occupational health, preventive consultation and treatment. Specially, it has maintained the national standards of preventive medicine centre, applied ISO/IEC 17025:2007 standards to testing operations, and ensuring laboratory biosafety. Additionally, to have more funds for operation, Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre has provided some preventive health services like examining health for workers, measuring working environment, supply medical testing services, and cooperating in supplying Safpo 32 Kon Tum high-quality vaccination services.
With its constant efforts, in January 2015, Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre successfully defended the appraisal result of provincial preventive medicine centre standards at the Council of the Ministry of Health, thus gaining the recognition of being a standard provincial preventive medicine centre according to Decision 402/QD-BYT dated February 3, 2015 of the Minister of Health. In the coming time, Kon Tum Preventive Medicine Centre will continue to carry out activities according to national preventive medicine standards stipulated by the Ministry of Health, focus on restructuring its apparatus and training its staff to offer best preventive medicine services to people, specially ethnic minorities living in remote areas.

Політична діяльність
З часів заснування у 2004 році правоцентристсько партії «Братство» деякі українські журналісти стверджували нібито «Братство» Корчинського це проєкт Москви, який фінансується представником інтересів Росії в Україні Віктором Медведчуком., Однак, сам Корчинський завжди заперечував звинувачення журналістів «у фінансуванні його проєктів Москвою» й вказував самого себе як основне джерело фінансування партії «Братство»; так у 2019 в інтерв'ю журналістці Яніні Соколовій він іронічно-саркастично заявив «що фінансує партію Братство коштом своїх кишенькових заощадженнях на сніданках», бо як він згодом роз'яснив «партія Братство — це дуже маленька організація яка не потребує значних фінансових вливань».

1980—2000 роки
 1985—1987 — служба в Радянській армії.
 1987—1988 — учасник громадського об'єднання «Українська Гельсінська спілка» (УГС), студентських опозиційних об'єднань «Український культурологічний клуб», «Громада».

 1990 — один із засновників і лідерів громадської організації «Українська міжпартійна асамблея» (згодом — «Українська національна асамблея» (УНА). Брав участь у заснуванні «Української народної самооборони» (УНСО). Учасник локальних конфліктів з політичних мотивів (Придністров'я, Абхазія, Чечня). Засновник радикальної організації «Щит Батьківщини».
 1998 — організатор серії акцій в Одесі на захист місцевого самоврядування.
 Засновник і Президент громадської організації «Інститут проблем регіональної політики і сучасної політології» (від 1999).

2000—2012 роки

З УНА-УНСО був виключений, однак сам Дмитро Корчинський стверджує, що покинув організацію за власною ініціативою. 2002 року заснував політичну партію «Братство». Організатор акцій «Братства» у Києві та Одесі.

Під час акцій «Україна без Кучми» підтримував Юлію Тимошенко.

Після першого туру став на бік Віктора Януковича. В інтерв'ю Андрієві Шевченку пояснив свою позицію щодо Ющенка:

Співробітництво з Міжнародним Євразійським Рухом
Після перемоги Віктора Ющенка «Братство» Корчинського об'єдналося з ідеологічно чужою Прогресивно-соціалістичною партією Наталії Вітренко та виступало проти руху нової влади до НАТО та зближення із США та ЄС. За словами Корчинського, до їх новоутвореної опозиції мали приєднатися Партія регіонів та СДПУ(о).

Разом з Олександром Дугіним та Наталією Вітренко входив до Вищої Ради «Міжнародного Євразійського Руху».

17 лютого 2005 року на спільній пресконференції з Дугіним, що відбулася РИА Новости заявив:

Брюссельские чиновники и американские генералы уже отработали свои методы в Сербии, Грузии и Украине. Вслед за ними последуют Молдавия, Армения и Киргизия. Россия неминуемо будет подвергнута их методам и обязана противостоять. Евразия должна объединиться для борьбы с «оранжевым» врагом.

21 вересня 2005 року на мітингу Євразійського молодіжного союзу в Москві присвяченого 625-річчю Куликовської битви, Корчинський закликав до війни:

Те, кто сегодня ещё способны на битву, должны заявить, как когда-то Дмитрий Донской, что свобода — выше торговли, что война — выше чем мир. И сегодня, когда мы находимся в растерянности, и не знаем, что делать — мы должны делать шаг вперёд. Мы верим, что очень близко то время, когда митинги перестроятся в батальоны. И тогда война будет начата. Это будет короткая победоносная война за свободу, потому что мы стоим на плечах великих предков, потому что мы родим великих потомков, потому что мы верим в будущее, которое не остановить никому. Время пришло! Мы победим!

У жовтні 2007 року «Братство» Дмитра Корчинського з прикрістю оголосило про припинення співпраці МЄР, через акт вандалізму на Говерлі вчинений Євразійським молодіжним союзом

У 2009—2010 роках — ведучий телепрограми «Четверта влада» (ТРК Київ).

2013—2014 роки (Євромайдан)
30 листопада 2013 року, під час протестів Євромайдану, на офіційному сайті Всеукраїнської політичної партії «Братство» був опублікований заклик «Всі — на повстання!». Зранку 1 грудня Корчинський також закликав до «Хрестового походу на Банкову».

Того ж дня, за попереднім повідомленням МВС, понад 300 «радикально налаштованих» членів організації «Братство», на чолі з Корчинським, брали участь у спробі «штурму» Адміністрації Президента, в ході якого заворушники кидали в міліцію каміння, бруківку, димові та вогняні шашки (фаєри), два коктейлі Молотова, петарди, застосовували сльозогінний газ, били міліціонерів кийками та ланцюгом, а також намагалися відтіснити кордон міліції навантажувачем Longgong CDM833 (який у ЗМІ називали «бульдозером»)", після чого втік до Росії.

На той час опозиційні політики називали штурм провокацією, вигідною для провладних та проросійських сил. Сам Корчинський, який був присутнім при штурмі (на одній зі світлин видно, що він стоїть на навантажувачі в центрі штурму), заперечував свою причетність до його організації, однак назвав заворушників «найкращими людьми, кращою частиною української молоді». Незабаром МВС повідомило, що Дмитра Корчинського нема серед підозрюваних в організації сутички.

Але вже 5 грудня київська прокуратура оголосила підозру за ст. 294 Кримінального кодексу України щодо організації масових заворушень на Банковій 1 грудня. Корчинського оголошено в розшук. Згідно з даними ТСН він одразу ж після штурму на Банковій виїхав за кордон.

15 грудня 2013, згідно з заявою начальника Департаменту карного розшуку Василя Паскала, Корчинський був оголошений в міжнародний розшук: Проте на сайті Інтерполу прізвище Корчинського виявити не вдалося.
 Він відзначив, що Корчинський має можливість ховатися від слідства за кордоном, а молоді хлопці, які під його керівництвом чинили безлади, перебувають в Україні і будуть нести карну відповідальність.

5 лютого 2014 року Дмитро Корчинський був затриманий у Ізраїлі, але у МВС України його терміново зняли з міжнародного розшуку і передали документи в Ізраїль. Після цього лідера Братства відпустили. 6 лютого він заявив про намір «з вірою у благодатність амністії» повернутися до України.

В грудні 2014 року дав інтерв'ю телевізійній програмі «Секретні матеріали» з приводу активістів Євромайдану. Які вимагали розслідування військових злочинів скоєних спеціальними підрозділами російських сил проти активістів Євромайдану. Серед активістів, про яких давав експертну оцінку Дмитро Корчинський був покійний Роман Тарасович Ратушний.

2014—2016 роки
Після початку російсько-української війни одним з перших оголосив про початок спротиву окупантам, воював другим номером гранатометника в складі добровольчого спецбатальйону МВС Свята Марія до 2016 року.

2016 — донині
2016 року під керівництвом Дмитра Корчинського створено інтернет-канал «Всесвітньо-Броварське Телебачення». Пізніше він повідомив, що цей канал заблокував Ґуґл на вимогу заявників із РФ.

З 2019 виступає на міжконфесійних молитовних зборах християн «Еклезія».

Після виборів президента Корчинський відкрито критикує Зеленського.

У жовтні 2019 року нагороджений церковною нагородою від митрополита Олександра (Драбинко).

2022
24 лютого 2022 року, після початку російського вторгнення, Дмитро Корчинський оголосив про створення добровольчого батальйону «Братство». В березні батальйон «Братство» брав участі у визволенні селищ і сіл на лівому березі Київщини.

Літературна діяльність
Корчинський є автором ряду філософсько-політологічних есе та посібників, зокрема посібника з сучасної політології «Війна у натовпі» (1997; 1999, 2020) та «Авторитарна альтернатива» (1998). Після виходу посібника «Авторитарна альтернатива» у 1998 році Інститут проблем регіональної політики та сучасної політології рекомендував цей посібник не лише студентам та викладачам університетів, а й держслужбовцям, та курсантам та офіцерам Збройних Сил України.

Корчинський також є автором поетичної збірки «Філософія смути» (1998, 2003, 2013) та прозово-поетичного кобзаря «Революція от кутюр» (2004).

Релігійні, філософські та політичні погляди

За політичними вподобаннями Корчинський вважає себе прихильником націоналістичних поглядів. Серед релігійних переконань Корчинський вважає себе прихильником християнських поглядів. Він є прихильником християнської революції і великим пошановувачем хрестопоходів. У філософії Корчинський вважає себе прихильником давньогрецьких філософських поглядів. Загалом, Корчинський вважає себе насамперед філософом і вже опісля політиком та літератором. Корчинський загалом є великим пошановувачем філософії, й окрім іншого, неодноразово закликав українців створювати «філософські гуртки». Саме тому сам Корчинський у 2020 році також створив філософську школу у Києві під назвою «Neoplatonik», у якій він з 2020 року викладає разом з іншим українським філософом Сергієм Форкошем.

На виборах Президента України 2019 року Корчинський висловив підтримку Петру Порошенку.

This Week in Texas Politics: September 30, 2011
A New Law on School Fitness Data Faces Obstacles
It is something state policy makers have known and have struggled to address for years. In the last decade, the Legislature has passed laws that set nutritional standards for school meals, required body mass index screenings for children and adolescents, and instituted physical activity requirements.
(View complete article here.)
Is Texas really a leader in low taxes?
On national television and in stump speeches nationwide, Gov. Rick Perry is touting Texas as a model for the U.S. economy, notably the state's tax structure.
Exiting Ogden keeps a hand in politics
Even though he's not running for re-election, Senate Finance Chairman Steve Ogden is keeping a hand in politics — in part by raising money for Gov. Rick Perry's presidential bid.
Report paints border of fear outside El Paso
If you want to understand the fear and threats of spillover violence in Texas border cities, talk to the people who live there — unless they are from El Paso, the co-author of a new border security report suggested on Monday.
Perry's Medicaid plan secret: Dems like it
Texas Gov. Rick Perry publicly floated dropping out of Medicaid less than a year ago to cut spending — but now the state is quietly revamping the health care safety net for the poor in a way even some Democrats can get behind.
Anticipating Budget Cuts, State Agencies Shrink
State government is shrinking. Many attribute the big drop to the $15 billion in budget cuts lawmakers passed in this year's legislative session. They kicked in on Sept. 1. But these cuts didn't come as a shock to state agencies; they've been preparing for the budget deficit — and dropping employees — for more than a year.
Dewhurst: I'll serve in Senate, won't support immigrants tuition law
Although Gov. Rick Perry's White House run gets a lot of the attention, the biggest Texas race next year is for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate.
Refunds may cut millions from schools
Some of the nation's largest oil refineries are seeking huge tax refunds that could force school districts and local governments across Texas to give back tens of millions of dollars they were counting on to pay teachers and provide other services.
Health reform lawsuit appears headed for Supreme Court
The Obama administration chose not to ask the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to re-hear a pivotal health reform case Monday, signaling that it's going to ask the Supreme Court to decide whether President Barack Obama's health reform law is constitutional.
School districts pull books from shelves
During Banned Books Week, which runs Sept. 24 to Oct. 1, the American Library Association brings attention to books that have drawn complaints from parents, teachers, administrators, religious groups and others.
Health Insurers Push Premiums Sharply Higher
Major health insurance companies have been charging sharply higher premiums this year, outstripping any growth in workers' wages and creating more uncertainty for the Obama administration and employers who are struggling to drive down an unrelenting rise in medical costs.
Texas Inmates Don't Vote, but They Sometimes Count
Texas prison inmates can't vote, so most counties ignore them. But they can change the value of your votes for Congress and the state Legislature.
Along with Florida, Texas GOP also may change plans for 2012 primary
While Florida lawmakers appear likely to move up the date of their primary this week, Texas Republicans may soon approve changes to their primary as well.
Supreme Court keeps sonogram injunction
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to overrule a federal judge's preliminary injunction preventing Texas from enforcing a strict abortion sonogram law scheduled to take effect Saturday.
Shrinking Texas school payrolls add to unemployed
The $4 billion in cuts to Texas public schools this summer might be starting to hit Gov. Rick Perry where it hurts most — his record on creating jobs.
Comptroller's office: Texas should expect slow economic growth next year
Texas has emerged from the recession, but economic growth will continue to be slow, in part because of hesitant consumers, the state comptroller's top revenue estimator told lawmakers Wednesday.
Poll: 81% unhappy with government
A record-high number of Americans say they are dissatisfied with the way the nation is being governed, a new poll says.

The Art Department at Cornell AAP has launched a unique, low-residency Master of Fine Arts in Image Text that creates new possibilities for creative practice and dialogue at the intersection of the visual and literary arts.
The Image Text MFA is a 25-month program that begins with the first of three intensive summer sessions in Ithaca, offering access to exceptional resources and faculty drawn from a community of internationally recognized artists and writers. Students in the program then pursue independent remote study in close consultation with faculty advisors throughout the regular academic year and participate in immersive international field courses in locations such as London, Berlin, and Mexico City. Applications for July 2023 enrollment are now open.
"In the fluid landscape created by digital media platforms and the explosion of small press publishing, it seems only logical that questions of aesthetics, narrative, documentary testimony, and fictional invention be addressed within the language-and-image world that we already inhabit," said founding faculty codirectors Nicholas Muellner (primarily a photographer) and Catherine Taylor (primarily a writer), who both join the art department this semester.
Muellner and Taylor founded the Image Text Ithaca (ITI) initiative in 2014 at Ithaca College as a series of artist workshops that brought together artists and scholars working across image and text, with notable participants such as Bruno Ceschel, Jason Fulford, John Keene, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Lucas Blalock, and Claudia Rankine. The initiative grew to include an MFA in Image Text and the ITI Press. When Ithaca College phased out the Image Text MFA in 2021, conversations to establish a comparable program were initiated by former Art Department Chair Michael Ashkin who saw the value in offering alternatives to conventional creative practice and exhibition to art students at Cornell. The recent launch is made possible by a generous seed fund gift from Cornell alums Deborah Goodman Davis '85 and Gerald Davis (BArch '84), both longtime supporters of the college and the arts at the university.
"With this program, the art department can provide more options for how to be an artist in the world," says Art Department Chair Paul Ramírez Jonas, who has led the collaborative effort to establish the new Image Text MFA at Cornell following Ashkin's tenure as chair. "Given its core commitment to both making and thinking alongside highly original artists and robust facilities and technologies, AAP is a perfect setting."
The Image Text MFA is the only program of its kind in its field(s) and is designed to build an inclusive community of working artists and writers at AAP who seek intellectual, emotional, and political engagement with the world through creative production and exhibition.
"In the past two decades, there has been an explosion of books and publications by individual artists, writers, and independent publishers," added Ramírez Jonas. "These interdisciplinary and often experimental publications create a new platform for the circulation of ideas, transforming a section of the art world where participants have a great degree of agency, collaborations abound, and communities are created and supported."
"We are thrilled to join a college and university with such an outstanding reputation, and a department where collaborative scholarship and creative practice in social justice and equity align well with our own interests and commitments, as well as the core values and driving intent of the program," said Muellner and Taylor.
Virtual information sessions will be held January 16–28. All prospective students are invited to register to attend via Zoom. The first-round deadline for program applications is February 15. The second-round deadline is March 15. Please visit the Image Text MFA page to learn more.

A paraglider with the username Suermel26 posted this to YouTube. Maybe it was Jeb? The location in this video is the same (checkout the screenshots from the 2 videos below).
Ah yea that's the same place. There's even a paraglider visible in the video, although the paraglider is on a different side than in the paraglider video.


Thanks for your inclusion of our article. Great site you have!

A Primer on the Use of LLDPE as Reliable Industrial Packaging Supplies
Posted by SEO Administrator on 5/21/2014 to Blog
Take a regular plastic bag and try stretching it as much as your strength allows. You may end up with a substantially wider material though perhaps not wide enough to cover a pallet full of cargo.
Plastic, in terms of common public use, often refers to polyethylene, the most popular form of plastic in the world. There are three major types of polyethylene: high density (HDPE), low density (LDPE), and linear low density (LLDPE). Grocery bags are usually made out of HDPE for strength, while plastic industrial packaging supplies are normally LLDPE.
Strength and Flexibility
Grocery bags have to carry loads of items, which is why HDPE and its high tensile strength is the primary choice. However, HDPE's strength comes at the cost of flexibility, given its packed molecular structure (hence, "high density"). If you'll look at the molecular diagram of HDPE, it's linear.
You may think LDPE must be the prime choice for stretch wrap film; but it's not, either. While LDPE has the flexibility to be made into stretch wrap, its branched molecular structure makes it the weakest of the polyethylene family in terms of tensile strength. Think of a translucent plastic bottle that you need to squeeze for the contents to come out.
Manufacturers, fortunately, found a way to balance strength and flexibility in the form of LLDPE. Its molecular structure consists of a linear chain with small branches, almost like a number line. This allows quality stretch wrap film like ones from World Packaging Inc. to be strong and flexible at the same time.
This marriage of strength and flexibility proves particularly useful in the packaging industry. The primary purpose of stretch wrap film, after all, is to secure pallet cargo and protect it while in transit. In addition, stretch wrap film is strong enough to deter most attempts at tampering. Not surprisingly, some plastic bags are now made of LLDPE.
Stretch wrap film can be produced for hand or machine applications. They can be used to wrap just about everything from bundles of newspapers to large batches of consumables. Consequently, businesses can rest assured that their shipments arrived intact and unspoiled.

Designed as a retreat for those who cherish nature, The Reserve on the East River is a shared ranch containing 1,500 acres of land, much of which is protected by conservation easement. Vast expanses of hay, wildflower and native grass meadows stretch luxuriously along the two miles of riverfront property, home of trophy Rocky Mountain trout and subsequent private fishing rights. Bald eagles, black bears, elk and mule deer all call this their home. The lodge, where dinner is served, sits in a grove of cottonwoods right on the banks of the East River. Exuding a finely appointed early Americana feel, the lodge serves as the social hub of The Reserve with dining and sitting areas and a kitchen perfect for catering. Walk through the waterfront Fisherman's Lounge with equipment lockers and wet bar and you find yourself on a deck overlooking the rushing water. As home sites are still available in this exclusive development, this is the perfect place to fantasize about what life might be like to cast a fly in this pristine river.
Chef Ivan Giani honed his skills in the famed Cape Winelands Cuisine of South Africa's Franschhoek Valley under Chef Chris Erasmus (Pierneef à La Motte Restaurant, La Motte Wine Estate), taking additional culinary clues and lessons from greats such as British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, Executive Chef Seth Greenburg (Citizen Beverly Hills) and South African Chef Shaun Schoeman (Solms-Delta Wine Estate, Franschhoek). Upon moving to the United States, Chef Ivan brought his sensibility of color and spice as Cook for Braai South African Restaurant (New York), Executive Chef at Kaia Wine Bar (New York), and as Chef de Cuisine at Springbok (Houston). With obvious influences from his birthplace, Ivan's passion blooms with fresh local products, working first to bring out the natural flavors of the food, subtly enhancing them with some of his favorite spices of coriander, chili, turmeric and cumin. From Ivan you might expect Sagebrush Smoked Trout with a Honey Suckle Gastrique or Espresso and Brown Sugar cured Elk Tenderloin with Fennel Pollen and Local Root Vegetables, bringing together global influences into the wild game and fish the ambiance of The Reserve exudes.
Two couples will have the tremendous fortune to stay at the plush guesthouse next door to the lodge at the conclusion of this Tour de Forks event, waking up the following morning with the incredible opportunity to embark on a guided fly fishing tour of the private waters on the East River at The Reserve. Bidding for the Extended Reserve Experience Package begins at $600 and includes your Tour de Forks tickets. Win one of these two couple's packages at the ARTrageous Gala and auction on August 9, or bid online at http://artrageous.cbo.io (Need not be present to win!).

New Delhi: Government is unlikely to reduce the capacity of ultra mega power projects (UMPPs), from the present 4,000 MW, on Asian Development Bank's (ADB) suggestion which had said that by doing so they would be able to lend financial support to such projects.
ADB had asked the Ministry of Power to consider reducing the size of UMPPs to 2,000 to 2,500 MW from current 4,000 so that more international financial institutions could lend their support.
"No, no intention as of now," says Power Secretary Anil Razdan when asked whether there was a plan to do so.
On the contrary, he said: "We do provide financial assistance to power projects, which are smaller in capacity than UMPPs."
Government has already awarded three UMPPs of 4,000 MW each — Sasan in Madhya Pradesh (MP), Krishna Patnam in Andhra Pradesh (AP) to Reliance Power and Mundra in Gujarat to the Tatas.
According to ADB, the UMPPs are high-value projects that need large amount of finance and the domestic private power sector companies are not fully equipped to take up such projects on their own.
Only state-run NTPC has the potential to develop such huge projects, it said.
Therefore, the government has the option of reducing the size of UMPPs to a smaller size (2,000 MW-2,500 MW) or look out for credible foreign sponsors to execute the UMPPs in collaboration with domestic parties who will hold minority position.
Government has decided to set up three more UMPPs in Tamil Nadu (TN), Maharashtra and Orissa.
It also plans to conduct studies at the sites suggested by the Karnataka government for the UMPPs.
The study regarding the availability of water for the identified site in Chhattisgarh is already under progress.
All three of the UMPPs awarded so far (Mundra in Gujarat, Sasan in MP and Krishnapatnam in AP) are expected to commission a few units aggregating about 3,000 MW within the 11th five-year plan (2007-12).
The fourth UMPP being set up in Tilaiya in Jharkhand, where bids have been invited, is in the process of identifying the selected developer would be completed by next month.


In Chicago, we were able to do some tourist-y stuff (visiting the Bean, anyone?), but we also were able to go to the Museum of Science and Industry to see the opening of the Walt Disney Archives – which was awesome. We spent the next day at the Shedd Aquarium, which was a lot of fun as well.
Between weddings and other such related events (in which my wife was matron of honor), October just kept kicking.
Yeah, I've always done this kinda stuff anyway, but I'm really starting to revel in my role as House Husband around here.
Work has skewed a little light which leaves me open to work on home projects, and I've stepped up to the plate with the biggest bat I've got in my hands.
We found ourselves with bushels and bushels of fresh fall apples, so I've spent hours turning them into various apple-related goodies, including a whopping apple fillings for 18 future pies, two batches of dehydrated apples for the pantry, and the rest are sliced, peeled and in the freezer for future projects.
Along with that, I've whipped up some puff pastry hot pockets, homemade granola, some delicious homemade beer (and ready to brew another batch this week), and other great projects.
Using Jerry Seinfeld's calendar trick and focusing on one habit per month, I'm starting to get a little control over my behavior.
In October, I've been using a calendar to break a bad habit (a personal one that won't be shared here), and it's cut my habit from 5-6 times a week down to about 4 times this entire month. It's not perfect, but I'm reaping major benefits from it and building momentum to hopefully eliminating it entirely.
Next month, I'll be using the calendar trick to knock out 29 days in a row of playing and practicing guitar, hopefully to build this into a more regular and prioritized habit.
That's great stuff. Those are all voluntary things that I really want to do, and keeping my book of prompts and journal in front of my face on my desk has really helped. Hoping all of these developments work in helping me improve productivity and become a little more prolific.
Over on Facebook, I've been building a new brand called Chisel Magazine – a men's magazine devoted to helping men make realistic, tangible improvements in their lives.
Currently at over 1000 fans, I'm really pleased with the growth. Engagement, however, isn't where it needs to be for me to launch the site/project, so I'm holding off while I figure out a formula that gets results.
But in the meantime, I'm having fun doing it. Here's hoping it can grow into something worthwhile.
What are you up to? What's on your plate as we start cruising into the holiday season?

In a major boost to the rights of veterans who were exposed to contaminated well water at Camp Lejeune, Congress has proposed expansion of Veterans Affairs Department treatment for people who were exposed to the well water. California veteran benefits lawyers agree with this proposal.
The proposal is contained in the comprehensive bill HR 1627. The proposal would include Navy and Marine Corps members and their families who were stationed at Camp Lejeune and were exposed to well water contaminated by carcinogens. The veterans and their families were exposed by drinking and bathing in the contaminated water. These veterans and their families were exposed to the contamination between the 1950s and 1980s. As many as 750,000 people are believed to have been exposed to the water.
For many years now, North Carolina lawmakers have been calling for the federal government to cover the costs of health care for persons who were exposed to the contaminated water, and suffered illnesses. While there was agreement about the need to provide healthcare for veterans exposed to these carcinogens, there was plenty of disagreement about which entity would be responsible for the care. The Camp Lejeune base is owned by the Defense Department. Now, it has been proposed that the Veterans Affairs Department be responsible for covering the illnesses and injuries resulting from the contamination.
This is a very important proposal, and any such step to include veterans as well as their families in healthcare plans by the Veterans Affairs Department, is rare. The Veterans Affairs Department typically concentrates on treatment for veterans, not their families. Veterans, who were stationed at the Camp Lejeune Base between January 1, 1957 and December 31, 1987 for a minimum of 30 days, may be eligible for the coverage.


Michael Klein's most recent collection of poetry, When I Was a Twin, is a long walk through grief and observation toward a state of existence that does not include his twin brother, Kevin. The structure of the poems, with many of them in long, prosaic lines, speaks to the struggle we often find ourselves in as we wind our way out of grief and loss. But don't let the structure turn you off. As much as Klein is mourning the death of his brother, he is also battling the realization that he could just as easily have been the twin who died: both brothers were alcoholics; one found sobriety and one didn't. Each poem presents keen observations on the demons we each face and the ways in which we cope.

except extent. But there's a lot more death since you died.
Klein presents a scene and through the first few lines, the camera shifts for us to see Bruce subtly change to Sheila. Klein doesn't even have to describe the physical person for us to see the shift; it's represented in the fact that she can't change clothes in the locker room. Then he throws in the line "She's between two rooms of time," and suddenly the camera has zoomed out. There's the literal scene of a body standing between two doors, but what makes that line resonate is most everyone has felt suspended at one point or another. The rest of the stanza reiterates the feeling for us. The focus shifts from Sheila to the bigger picture of the country: the same, but different. Nothing changes. These aren't totally new ideas, "except extent. But there's a lot more death since you died." The chord has been struck and the tone is set. Klein's ability to include brief statements that create a shift in his poems, shifts in scene and shifts away from or closer to the physical body, are what hook the reader. They also work to balance the prose structure of many of the poems.

than I could feel him in our living.
Here Klein exhibits an honesty that many might not realize or admit to having. He pinpoints what kept him from being the brother that died: his mentality. In a life where two people are so similar in so many ways, something so basic and intrinsic is what separates them. This realization is what drives the grief Klein experiences through the entire collection.
as though a piece of me had died—not all of me, just a piece.
fact, died? But I was sure. Kevin was dead. I was alive.
When I was a twin Kevin was alive.
These lines add more layers to the grief. Of all the things Klein considers, the realization that he is now an independent entity is the one that weighs him and the reader down. Why is that? Throughout this poem, and others in the collection, we start to see that being a twin was, in many ways, a burden.
The longer poems in the collection, long in line length and page length, are balanced by what we might consider more "traditional" poems, in terms of shorter, more deliberate line breaks. These poems work to indicate shifts and movement through the grief. They move toward a kind of peace. They also tend to focus less on the brother and more on love. Many poems throughout the collection, regardless of structure, address queer issues and queer love, but poems like "Pentimento" work to highlight that love in a way the longer poems often do not.
emerged out from under yourself. I almost had his name. And yours.
"Pentimento" represents the doubling that is layered throughout the entire collection. Is Klein literally seeing a past love or someone who looks like a past love? Is he latching onto the person or certain qualities and mannerisms that take him to a former time? Is he grieving the death of his brother, grieving the fact that he survived, or grieving the fact that he always knew he would be the one to survive? Is he even grieving at all?
Read this beautiful collection and decide for yourself.

Erik Matteo Prochet Widmark (* 1889 in Helsingborg; † 1945) war ein schwedischer Chemiker und Professor am Institut für medizinische Chemie der Universität Lund. Er entwickelte 1922 eine Methode zur Bestimmung der Blutalkoholkonzentration.

Widmark war der erste Wissenschaftler, der systematisch die Absorption, Verteilung und Eliminierung des Alkohols im menschlichen Körper erforschte und seine Ergebnisse in mathematische Formeln (Widmark-Formel) fasste. Widmark gehörte auch zu den ersten, die vor karzinogenen Effekten gebratener Speisen warnten. Er wurde 1938 Mitglied der Schwedischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Der International Council on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety (ICADTS) vergibt seit 1965 den Widmark Award für wissenschaftliche Leistungen auf den Gebieten von Alkohol, anderen Drogen und Verkehrssicherheit, u. a. 1977 an den deutschen Bund gegen Alkohol und Drogen im Straßenverkehr.
