Trusting Grace is a touching and tender tale! Well-crafted and wonderfully characterized, I found Grace and Robert, along with their families, to be most endearing. Overcoming their pasts, they share a heartwarming journey toward a promising future. It was a pleasure to step back in time and visit Montana's Gallatin Valley; the setting is a lovely part of the story's charm. While Trusting Grace concludes the Virtues and Vices of the Old West series, it can also easily be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
All of her life, Grace Bidwell has longed for a loving husband and children, but now the chances of her dreams coming true are looking slim. Widowed and caring for her elderly father, she struggles to maintain her late husband's ranch, until she places an ad for a hired hand.
As 1892 draws to a close, Dr. Letitia Morgan boards a train in Philadelphia headed for Hartville, Colorado. The young town's booming silver mine has attracted so many people that Hartville is in need of a new doctor to treat women and children. Letty jumps at the chance to start a new life where she'll be appreciated as a medical professional-despite the fact she's a woman.
But as she gets to know more about this bustling town, Letty realizes that perhaps she's bitten off more than she can chew. Armed with determination and her trunks of medical supplies, she buckles down to minister to the wayward children of the town drunk, girls caught in Hartville's thriving brothels, and a newspaperman broken by the loss of his young wife.
But not everyone warms to the lovely new physician, and Letty finds herself the target of vicious attacks. When she is thrust into a confrontation over the fate of three orphans, her life will never be quite the same.
Deep in the heart of Texas, Julie Duncan is just trying to get through the days after the loss of her husband. It's been four years, and male attention is the last thing on her mind, but her new job lands her in the middle of an unwanted romance.
The first time he sees his grandfather's new housekeeper, Lane Calahan knows that Julie is "the one," but will he ever convince Mrs. Duncan to risk her heart again?
Nothing in her past had prepared her for a Colorado cattle drive–or Luke Weber.
Longing for a new start, Crystal Clark arrives amid the splendor of the high country in June 1892. After the death of her father, Crystal is relieved to be leaving the troubles of her Georgia life behind to visit her aunt's cattle ranch. Despite being raised as a proper Southern belle, Crystal is determined to hold her own in this wild land–even if a certain handsome foreman named Luke doubts her abilities.
Just when she thinks she's getting a handle on the constant male attention from the cowhands and the catty barbs from some of the local young women, tragedy strikes. And saving the ranch from a greedy neighboring landowner means taking charge of a cattle drive, ready or not. Can she rise to the challenge? Or will she head back to Georgia defeated?
Living up to the reputations of her aunt Rachel, who worked as a spy in the War Between the States, and parents who were instrumental in Boston's Underground Railroad is a difficult task for Tara Young. So when she finds mention of an unsolved gold heist in her aunt's journal, Tara decides her claim to fame will be finding the missing gold. Aaron Jefferson is a government agent seeking the same illusive goals-the cache of gold, but more importantly, a place of worth in his own illustrious family. When Tara and Aaron find their paths converging, however, each is determined to find the gold on their own. But their Heavenly Father has another plan. Will they ever learn that God Himself is to be desired more than fame or fine gold?
Once upon a time in the little town on the Oregon coast, there were four Lindas—all in the same first-grade classroom. So they decided to go by their middle names. And form a club. And be friends forever. But that was 47 years and four lives ago. Now a class reunion has brought them all—the New York lawyer, the empty nester, the frustrated artist, and the aging starlet—together again in their old hometown, at a crossroads in their lives. They're about to explore the invigorating reality that even the most eventful life has second acts…and there's no statute of limitations on friendship.
She's learned you can't count on anyone–but she didn't count on landing in Last Chance.
The red warning light on her car dashboard may have driven Lainie Davis to seek help in the tiny town of Last Chance, New Mexico, but as she meets the people who make this one-horse town their home, it's her heart that is flashing bright red warning lights. These people are entirely too nice, too accommodating, and too interested in her personal life–especially since she's on the run and hoping to slip away unnoticed.
Yet in spite of herself, Lainie is increasingly drawn into the small-town dramas and to a handsome local guy with a secret of his own. Could Lainie actually make a life in this little town? Or will the past catch up to her even here in the middle of nowhere?

I was born on July 27, 1984 in Krasnodar. I bring up my son and work as a teacher of English and mathematics. My Hobby is breeding cats of Russian blue breed. My stories were published in periodicals and Internet resources. I take part in different literary contests.
At twenty-two grandmother went to work in Krasnodar and met my grandpa. They got married and gave birth to mother and uncle.
My grandmother worked as an embroideress at a factory all her life then retired and began to educate me.
She always knitted something, walked silently, loved crossword puzzles and watched all possible soup operas. I loved her knitted things so much: I keep still a pink hat knitted by her.
I have so little left of her— just a few crochet handkerchiefs. And we had one foot size and sometimes I put on her shoes.
— How did you do today? What did the teacher say?
Granny held my hand, listened and nodded silently probably not understanding anything about the dominant seventh chord, tremolo or Passive voice.
I wrap up in the memory as in a warm shawl … I close my eyes and feel her smell, a home smell of a warm body and valerian. As if I feel the touch of her handmade blouse.

Baseball Players Can Smoke Marijuana But Can't Be Sponsored By Cannabis Companies, MLB Says
Cannabis newsBy WW 19th March 2020 Leave a comment
With spring training now in full swing, Major League Baseball is further clarifying its stance on marijuana. Players can now consume cannabis without risk of discipline, the league explained in a new memo, but they can't show up to work under the influence and—at least for now—are barred from entering into commercial arrangements with companies in the marijuana industry.
New Law Brings Texas One Step Closer to Legalizing Marijuana
Texas is one step closer to joining the 34 states where medicinal marijuana is legal after state legislators passed a law written by North Texas Republican representative and registered nurse Stephanie Klick to expand the conditions that can be treated with medicinal cannabis. Although the law narrowly defines which conditions can be treated with medicinal marijuana, it is a significant expansion.
Pharmacology of Medical Cannabis
It contains approximately 540 natural compounds including more than 100 that have been identified as phytocannabinoids due to their shared chemical structure. The predominant psychotropic component is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), while the major non-psychoactive ingredient is cannabidiol (CBD).
Hemp Houses are Being 3D-Printed in Australia
An Australian company is 3D-printing hemp bioplastic walls, floors and roofs to be used in the construction of eco-friendly prefabricated homes.
Peru sells out of medical cannabis
This means patients have no option to legally access regulated medical cannabis in the domestic market, according to industry sources.
Illinois Nets Over $10M In Cannabis Tax In First Month Of Retail Sales
Less than three months into Illinois' new legal adult use cannabis market, the state says its tax revenue is already exceeding expectations.
Man, 80, arrested for growing cannabis plants for CBD oil that's 'saving his life'
A man who was arrested for growing cannabis plants for medicinal purposes believes the law will kill him, when the Class B drug is keeping him alive.
Study: Hemp Crops Could Restore Bee Populations
Cannabis newsBy WW 9th March 2020 Leave a comment
Hemp and cannabis plants do not produce nectar, but their pollen can keep bee populations happy and well-fed. Specifically, the study found that bees not only love the pollen from cannabis and hemp plants — they also can benefit from the plants' abundance of pollen as a subsistence resource during times when local flora diversity has been stripped due to modern farming practices or a natural occurrence, such as drought. Bees are especially drawn to larger crop plots and taller plants, meaning industrial hemp carries the most benefits as an industry for the bees.
More and more older adults are using marijuana
The percentage of adults over the age of 65 who said they'd used some form of cannabis in the past year was 75 percent higher in 2018 — when 4.2 percent said they'd used it — than it was in 2015, according to new data published in JAMA Internal Medicine. Cannabis use in this group has been increasing dramatically since around 2006 when less than 0.5 percent of older adults said they'd used the drug.
Louisiana licenses issued allowing farmers to grow hemp
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana started handing out its first licenses to farmers to grow industrial hemp this month, after lawmakers legalized the crop in a bid to start a new agricultural industry in the state.

Q: Symfony2 Load content based on device used with LiipThemeBundle I need to make my controller load a different skin with the information based on the device it is being used with. I can load the templates with LiipBundle. I wonder if I can load the content something like that too?? For example this is my controller:
public function mainAction() {

    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $skins = $em->getRepository('MediaparkLtSkinBundle:Skin')->findOneBy( array('id' => 1));

    return $this->render('MediaparkLtMainBundle:Main:main.html.twig', array('skin' => $skins));

    return array();
}

right now this just loads the skin with the id 1 on the theme. I need to make an if statement and check if user is on desktop, if so then load this theme with this skin... How can I do that??? Here is the idea:
 public function mainAction() {

        (if using desktop) {

        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $skins = $em->getRepository('MediaparkLtSkinBundle:Skin')->findOneBy( array('id' => 1));

        return $this->render('MediaparkLtMainBundle:Main:main.html.twig', array('skin' => $skins));
        }

        else {
            $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
            $skins = $em->getRepository('MediaparkLtSkinBundle:Skin')->findOneBy( array('id' => 2));

            return $this->render('MediaparkLtMainBundle:Phone:Phonemain.html.twig', array('skin' => $skins));

        }

        return array();
    }

How can I make this happen?

A: Inspect the user agent to see if there are any indications of mobile. Or search for a library that does this.
see $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

Golden Blood – The World's Rarest and Most Precious Blood Type
Golden Blood, or Rh-null blood is an extremely rare blood type that has only been identified in 43 people around the world in the last 50 years. It is sought after both for scientific research and blood transfusions, but also incredibly dangerous to live with for the people who have it, because of its scarcity.
To understand golden blood it's important to understand how blood types work. Human blood may look the same in everyone, but it's actually very different. On the surface of every one of our red blood cells we have up to 342 antigens – the molecules that trigger the production of certain specialized proteins called antibodies – and it's the absence of certain antigens that determines a person's blood type. Around 160 of these antigens are considered common, meaning they are found on the red blood cells of most humans on the planet. If someone lacks an antigen that is found in 99 percent of all humans then their blood is considered rare, and if they lack an antigen found in 99.99 percent of humans, their blood is considered very rare.
The 342 known antigens belong to 35 blood group systems, of which the Rh, or 'Rhesus', system is the largest, with 61 antigens. It's not uncommon for humans to be missing one of these antigens. For example, around 15 percent of Caucasians miss the D antigen, the most significant Rh antigen, making them RhD negative. In contrast, Rh negative blood types are much less common in Asian populations (0.3 percent). But what if a human is missing all of the 61 Rh antigens?
The 10-Year Court Battle of a Woman Fined for Not Holding Escalator Handrail
When riding an escalator, it's recommended that you keep a tight grip on the handrail, just to be safe. But what if you choose to disregard that advice? Well, one Canadian woman has been fighting a 10-year-long court battle for her right to ride escalators hands-free.
In 2009, Bela Kosoian was riding an escalator at a subway station in the city of Laval when a police officer told her to respect a pictogram on the escalator that said "Caution, hold the handrail", in French. The Montreal-area woman refused to obey the officer's command and instead started arguing with him. She ended up being detained and getting a $100 ticket for refusing to hold the rail and another $320 for failing to identify herself. She was also handcuffed and detained for 30 minutes.
Kosoian was acquitted of her "crimes" in municipal court in 2012, and then filed her own lawsuit against the city, arguing that she was not obligated to hold the escalator handrail or identify herself in front of the police officer. She has so far lost twice in Quebec courts, but refused to give up, and this Tuesday her unique case was heard by the Supreme Court of Canada.
Chinese People Keep Trying to Throw Metal Coins Into Airplane Engines For Good Luck
For the seventh time in the last couple of years, a Chinese person has been arrested for trying to drop a handful of metal coins into an airplane engine, for good luck.
On Monday morning a 66-year-old woman surnamed Wang was detained for attempting to throw six metal coins into the engine of a Tianjin Airlines plane just before take-off, in an effort to guarantee a safe trip. Fortunately, the coins ended up on the ground instead of into the multi-million dollar engine, and were noticed by an airport worker before the plane's departure. When an announcement was made, asking whoever threw the coins to come forward, Wang refused to take responsibility, but she soon identified using surveillance footage.
Shinjuku Tiger – Tokyo Living Legend Has Been Wearing a Tiger Mask for 45 Years
Yoshiro Harada, a newspaper delivery man from Tokyo, Japan, was only 24 years old when he decided to live the rest of his life as a tiger and became Shinjuku Tiger. Today, at age 69, he is considered a living legend of the business district.
Born in Nagano Prefecture, Harada moved to Tokyo in 1967 to attend Daito Bunka University. He started delivering newspapers while he was still in school, and eventually decided to quit the university and dedicate himself to his job full time. He can't really recall the reason he quit his studies, all he knows is that he wanted to quit. The same can be said about his beginnings as Shinjuku Tiger. One day in 1972, as he was attending a shrine festival in Kabukichō, an entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku, he passed by a row of shops and noticed one of them was selling colorful, plastic tiger masks. That's when it hit him, he was going to live the rest of his life as a tiger.
Woman Left Partially Paralyzed After Involuntary Neck Cracking Causes Stroke
Natalie Kuniciki, a 23-year-old paramedic from London, UK, was left partially paralyzed after her vertebral artery burst when she involuntarily cracked her neck, causing a blood clot to trigger a stroke in her brain.
We all crack our joints every once in a while, whether accidentally or on purpose, but apart from that satisfying "pop" sound, nothing really happens. However, in Natalie Kuniciki case, a simple and seemingly harmless thing like moving her head caused a stroke that left her partially paralyzed. The 23-year-old paramedic was watching a movie at her home in West Hampstead after a night out when she involuntarily stretched her neck. Only this time, the routine maneuver caused a loud "crack" sound in her neck. Natalie didn't really feel any pain so she ignored it and went to bed, only to wake up 15 minutes later unable to move her left leg. When she tried getting up to go to the toilet, she collapsed, so the frightened young woman called an ambulance.
Homeless by Choice: Hong Kong Man Gives Up Middle-Class Life to Live on the Street
52-year-old Simon Lee has been sleeping rough on the streets of Hong Kong for the last seven years, but unlike most homeless people, he didn't just wind up there after some tragic, life-altering event. He actually chose to be homeless, giving up on his material possessions and a comfortable office job for a carefree, stress-free life.
You couldn't really tell by looking at him, but Simon Lee graduated from university with a degree in chemistry, and until 1997 he had a steady office job. But one day he decided he didn't need the stress of a white-collar job, so he quit and moved to neighboring Macau. He made a living tutoring children for a few years, but in 2004, he moved again, this time to Zhuhai, where he lived off of his savings, before going back to Macau two years later. The casinos were starting up and rich gamblers were more than happy to share a tiny fraction of their winnings with someone less fortunate than them, so Simon decided to live on the street and survive off casino hand outs.
Woman Swallows 5-Inch Spoon While Using It to Dislodge Fish Bone Stuck in Her Throat
Doctors in Shenzen, China recently performed an emergency endoscopy to remove a 13-centimeter metal spoon from a woman's duodenum, after she accidentally swallowed it while trying to dislodge a fish bone from her throat.
The reckless patient, known only as Lily, reportedly swallowed the stainless steel spoon before the Qingming Festival on April 5, but didn't bother going to the hospital until four days later, because she didn't feel any pain in her stomach. She had apparently tried to use the metal spoon to remove a fish bone that had become lodged in her throat, but it accidentally slipped from her fingers and she ended up swallowing it. Talk about things going from bad to worse, right?
Miss Sunshine, the Woman Who Surrounds Herself with the Color Yellow
What started as a creative way to honor her late father turned into an obsession for Ella London, a 35-year-old woman from Los Angeles who has been wearing and surrounding herself with everything yellow for the last seven years.
Ella has always loved the color yellow, but it only became an important part of her life 11 years ago. She and her fiancee were organizing their upcoming wedding and trying to find a color theme for the event. London knew that she didn't want the classic white, red made her think of Christmas and all the other colors she considered were way too overused. But when her fiancee suggested yellow, something in her brain clicked. It reminded her of her father, who had passed away when she was only two months old, of his love for the color yellow and how it seemed to perfectly reflect his happy nature. She picked it as a way to honor her late father, but the wedding was only the beginning of her love affair with the color yellow.
Man Who Spent 50 Hours at Internet Cafe Was Actually Left Paralyzed by Stroke
A 42-year-old man in Shenzen, China, was recently hospitalized with a stroke after the staff at a local internet cafe noticed that he hadn't got up from his seat in 50 hours.
According to CCTV footage, the unnamed man arrived at the internet cafe on the morning of March 31st and never once got up from his chair for the next 50 hours. It was only on the evening of April 2nd that the staff checked CCTV cameras and noticed that he had been there for over two days. When they checked on him, they found that he was paralyzed, unable to speak and suffering from incontinence. When he arrived at the Longhua District People's Hospital, he was barely conscious and couldn't move the limbs on the right side of his body. Doctors diagnosed him with massive cerebral infarction on the left basal ganglia and frontotemporal lobe, otherwise known as a stroke.
Chinese Street Cleaner Donates Most of His Money to Impoverished Children
A 58-year-old street cleaner in China has been hailed as a hero after it was reported that he has donated over 180,000 yuan ($27,000) to dozens of poor children in the last 30 years, despite earning a monthly salary of just 2,000 yuan ($300).
Mr. Zhao, a street cleaner from Shenyang, in China's northeast Liaoning Province, leads a very frugal lifestyle. Most of his meals consist of simple boiled noodles, he hasn't bought new clothes in about 30 years, and he and his family live in a very modest house. Even though he earns just 2,000 yuan per month, he could probably have much more comfortable life if he didn't give most of his income away. Coming from humble beginnings himself, Zhao known all about poverty, so he has dedicated the last three decades of his life to helping impoverished children, while also taking care of his own family.
Man Destroys His Own Brand New Condo for Not Being Luxurious Enough
A Malaysian man recently went viral after filming himself thrashing a brand new condominium in the heart of Kuala Lumpur because it wasn't as luxurious as the developer had promised.
The unnamed man became an overnight internet celebrity thanks to a series of short Facebook clips in which he complains that the condo he allegedly paid $2million ringgit ($486,000) for is not up to his standards, then proceeds to spray-paint everything he dislikes about it, before taking a sledgehammer and breaking the furniture and marble floor. Talking to the camera, the man claims that he had tried contacting the developer, Tropicana Corporation Berhad, to voice his displeasure, but they ignored him, so he decided to turn his sub-par condominium into a showroom for the company, so that other buyers wouldn't pay for the same level of "luxury".
Indulging by Proxy – Chinese People Are Hiring Others to Consume Tasty Food on Their Behalf
If you love eating and drinking for free and are looking to make some pocket change, there's a job in China with your name on it. A new type of online service allows people to hire others to eat or drink their favorite treats, either to cure their boredom or satisfy their craving without the calories that usually come with it.
Chinese media recently reported on an increasingly popular service on online commercial platform Taobao that's as mind-boggling as it is intriguing. People can now go online and hire others to consume certain foods and drinks, and ask them to provide video evidence of them eating or drinking the said treats. Fees usually range between 2 yuan ($0.30) and 9 yuan ($1.35) plus the cost of the food that the client wants consumed. It's not exactly a get-rich quick kind of job, but there are quite a lot of people willing to do it for the free treats alone.
Man Fakes Inability to Walk for a Decade to Collect Disability Pension
An Italian man who went to great lengths to convince everyone that he had lost the ability to walk after being involved in a staged car accident 12 years ago was recently exposed as a fraud.
The incredible story of Roberto Guglielmi, an Italian con artist who managed to fool everyone, including doctors, neighbors and even the Pope, that he couldn't walk began over a decade ago. In 2007, he came up with a plan to pass himself off as a disabled person and collect the pension offered by the government, but he needed an accomplice to pull it off. At the time, he had someone living in his home who was behind on rent, so he proposed to forget about the payment he was owed if his housemate would pretend to hit him with the car while he was crossing the street. The man agreed and everything went smoothly. With the help of a false medical document, Guglielmi was able to become a paraplegic, even though he could walk like a normal person.
What's most remarkable about this tale of deception is the extreme lengths that the Florentine went to in order to deceive doctors during mandatory visits to confirm his disability. According to prosecutors, he would inject lidocaine into his legs to numb his muscles, undergo traumatic therapies and use a wheelchair whenever he left his home. For over a decade, no one suspected that he was actually a healthy person with full use of his legs.
Zimbabwean Hunter Who Killer Over 5,000 Elephants Declares Himself "Totally Unrepentant"
Ron Thompson, a Zimbabwean hunter who killed over 5,000 elephants, hundreds of buffaloes and "many more" wild animals in his 50-year career, recently declared himself "totally unrepentant" about his resume, claiming that it's conservationists who are the problem.
The 77-year-old retired hunter recently sat down with English newspaper The Independent and said that he was never driven by bloodlust, as many would assume, but by the knowledge that animal populations must be controlled to make sure they "don't increase beyond the capacity of their habitat". He claimed that despite the fraudulent lies spread by so-called conservationists, to him shooting thousands of animals dead was only a job.
12-Year-Old Boy Has Been Piggybacking Disabled Friend Around School for Six Years
A 12-year-old boy from Meishan, in China's Sichuan Province, has been hailed as a hero for making it possible for a disabled classmate to move around at school by carrying him on his back for the last six years.
When he was only 4-years-old, Zhang Ze was diagnosed with a debilitating and incurable condition called myasthenia gravis, which gradually caused him to lose control of the voluntary muscles in his legs, making it very difficult for him to walk on his own. While his parents dropped off Zhang to school every day they couldn't help him move between classes or go to the toilet when he needed to. Luckily, one of the boy's schoolmates stepped up to help. As soon as they met in 1st grade, Xu Bingyang offered to help Zhang Ze get to class, reach the toilet or get his lunch, and he's been doing it for the last 6 years.

Multi-talented polymer more versatile than sum of its parts
By Fiona Tscherny2016-11-08T08:13:00+00:00
Source: © Royal Society of Chemistry
The polymer can heal a scratch (top left) or hole (bottom left) within 10 seconds when exposed to light
Researchers in China have designed multi-talented materials with mix-and-match functionalities, such as shape memory, self-healing or colour changes, which can be triggered by stimuli such as heat, light or voltage.
Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to environmental changes, making them useful for applications such as drug delivery systems that exploit differences in pH to direct medicines to the required organs or thermochromic coatings for windows reversibly tint the glass in response to temperature. However, integrating responsivity to numerous stimuli in smart polymers 'in particular when considering a simple and feasible synthetic route', has been challenging, notes Patrick Théato, from the University of Hamburg, Germany, who wasn't involved in this work.
Yan Ji's team at Tsinghua University in Beijing has now created a polymer that responds to six stimuli (heat, light, pH, voltage, metal ions, redox chemicals) and can perform six functions (shape memory, welding, healing, recycling, reversible colour change and adsorption of metal ions). Ji explains that the material's 'shapes, dimensions, chemical or physical properties change in real time to external stimuli', so it 'can operate multiple tasks'.
To create the jack-of-all-trades polymers, Ji's team combined an oligoaniline (amino-capped aniline trimer) with a vitrimer (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether), a malleable heat-responsive polymer. The oligoaniline is responsible for the material's electrochromism – a reversible colour change due to redox reactions when a charge is applied. Combining these components 'generates new functions which are impossible for either material alone to perform, such as pH-induced shape memory [or] light manipulated activities (including shape memory, welding and healing),' Ji explains.
The material's colour changes from black to almost transparent in the presence of redox chemicals
Ji suggests that electrochromism 'enables the material to be used in smart windows'. Additionally, the smart polymer's ability to self-heal structural damage (scratching or piercing) when exposed to light prolongs its service life.
Zhibin Guan, from the University of California, Irvine, US, thinks 'such multiple stimuli responsive materials could potentially be used in technologies such as actuators, sensors, and controlled drug-delivery systems'. Ji suggests exploiting the new polymers' shape memory 'in sophisticated robotic operations or mechanical instruments'.
The team's own simple synthetic strategy may inspire further research, as the polymers can be mass-produced at low cost. Wei Zhang, from the University of Colorado, US, believes this work may influence the 'future design of hybrid, multi-stimuli responsive, and multi-functional materials'.

Reading: Mirtha Jung Bio, Wiki, Husband, Divorce, Kids, and More
Weird Course > Blog > Celebrity > Mirtha Jung Bio, Wiki, Husband, Divorce, Kids, and More
Admin Published August 15, 2022
Mirtha Jung (born December 3, 1952) is a poet, businesswoman, and writer who gained notoriety after the 2001 release of the film Blow. Mirtha Calderon was born in Cuba. Although nothing is known about her early years, she turns 60 years old and currently celebrates her birthday on December 3.
Cuban poet, author, and businesswoman Mirtha Jung (born Mirtha Calderon) hails from that country. She was born on December 3, 1952, in Cuba and shot to fame after the 2001 release of the film "Blow."
Her former spouse, heroin dealer George Jung, was the subject of the film "Blow." Penelope Cruz portrayed Mirtha Jung in the film, while Johnny Depp took on the part of George Jung.
Mirtha Jung and George Jung had a daughter named Kristina Sunshine Jung while they were still married. After her parents were arrested for drug trafficking, Kristina Sunshine Jung was raised by her grandparents.
She was a well-known drug user who used drugs before and after giving birth to her daughter. Unknown to many, Mirtha Jung was sentenced to three years for using drugs. For the benefit of her daughter, who was then three, she attempted and worked to get clean throughout this time. Her daughter reported that she was freed in 1981 and has maintained her sobriety.
Mirtha has changed her life and avoided narcotics since she was released from prison. Kristina, her daughter, is presently wed to Romain Karan.
Mirtha Jung's former husband, George Jung, introduced her to the life of a prominent heroin smuggler.
When the film "Blow" was released in 2001, Mirtha suddenly became well-known. Her ex-husband George Jung was the subject of the film.
Gross Value
Her estimated net worth, according to several sources, is $178,000. After her divorce, she suffered a significant financial loss.
George Jung and Mirtha Jung Relationships & Marriage
George and Mirtha connected in Columbia through a buddy of George's who was involved in cocaine. Mirtha was ten years younger than George when they first met, and she was 24 years old.
Even so, they dated for a while after falling in love with one another before getting married in 1977. Their first child, a daughter named Kristina Sunshine Jung, was born on August 1, 1978. A few years later, their marriage struck its lowest point, and in 1984, they divorced. George remarried Ronda Clay Spinelli following his divorce, and in May 2021, he passed away.
George Jung and Mirtha Jung's Relationship and Divorce
The connection between Mirtha and George is best explained as that of a drug addict who is married to a drug smuggler. Given her background, it was thought that George and Mirtha may have first connected when she was 24 years old via one of his Colombian cocaine acquaintances. George Jung is a decade older.
After getting married in 1977 and having daughters Kristina (born in 1984) and Kristina (born in 1978), they were divorced seven years later. Mirtha, in particular, said that George was the only man she had ever loved, which is likely why she never remarried or started dating anyone else following her breakup with George. George, though, has carried on with his life and is now wed to Ronda Clay Spinello Jung.
Kristina Sunshine Jung, a child of Mirtha Jung, was only six years old when her parents divorced and nine years old when her father was sentenced to prison. She was born on August 1, 1978. She married Romain Karan and grew up without her father's affection or physical presence. Two kids were born to the couple.
After his release from prison in 2014, George and his daughter got back together, and they are now working on their new family business, Boston George Apparel. Kristina is a great businesswoman who works tirelessly to promote the company under the slogan "I can't sell drugs anymore, so I sell dope clothes now."
George Jung Ex-husband
George Jacob Jung, commonly known as the Boston George and El Americano, was a former drug kingpin. He was born on August 6, 1942. Although he was raised in Weymouth, Massachusetts, he was born in Boston. Great at soccer, George was also a natural leader in his younger years, according to his buddies. He attended Weymouth High School, received his diploma in 1961, and enrolled at Southern Miss.
He pursued an advertising degree but failed to complete it. Many people questioned how a man whose life appeared to start off well could have come into contact with narcotics, leading to his 20 years of incarceration outside of his prison term.
It was observed that Jung started smoking marijuana recreationally and sold some of his purchases to gain money. When he ran into his childhood acquaintance in 1967 again, he realized how much money could be made by importing the marijuana he had purchased in California into New England.
His descent into becoming a renowned drug lord in the USA began with this knowledge. For smuggling 300 kg of marijuana, Jung was sent to the Federal Correctional Institution, Danbury, in 1974. There, he later met Carlos Lehder Rivas, his business partner, who introduced him to the drug trade.
From 1994 to 2014, he spent the longest prison term of any prisoner before being freed on June 2. After George provided evidence against his old partner Carlos Lehder Rivas, his sentence was lowered from 60 to 20 years. After being detained in December 2016 for violating his parole, he was freed in September 2017 and has maintained his sobriety ever since.
She doesn't use any social networking sites. The life of George Jung, Mirtha Jung ex-husband, and his relationship with narcotics, as well as his family, were the inspiration for the 2001 Oscar-nominated film Blow. Brown hair and light brown eyes characterize Mirtha Jung bio. We have told you Mirtha Jung bio hope everything is clear to you.

Progressive activist arrested for attempting to possess radioactive material 'with intent to kill'
American Mirror
The Wisconsin progressive activist who harassed Republican lawmakers while riding a Segway has been arrested and charged with attempting to possess radioactive material "with intent to kill."
TMJ4 reports 30-year-old Jeremy Ryan, subbed "Segway Boy," "attempted to buy the lethal dose in March and October of 2018."
It's not clear why he wasn't arrested for the March attempt.
Fox 6 reports:
Following Ryan's arrest in Black Earth, WI, a search warrant was executed at his residence in Madison by FBI Milwaukee and FBI Chicago's Hazardous Evidence Response Team. There is no danger to the public associated with these enforcement actions.
In 2016, he was arrested on drug charges, according to Watchdog.org.
Jeremy J. Ryan, 28, of Madison, was arrested on three felony counts of manufacturing and delivering marijuana and one felony count of maintaining a drug operation, according to court records.
Ryan was officially charged on Wednesday, according to the Dane County District Attorney's office, and was scheduled to make his initial court appearance Thursday.
"In June 2015, the professional protester was among six Capitol demonstrators awarded a combined $45,000 in damages for the 'emotional distress, loss of liberty and damage to reputation' they apparently suffered" related to protesting Gov. Scott Walker's budget solutions, according to the news site.
Ryan tried to mount a campaign against U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan in 2012 but failed.
In this campaign video, titled, "Pissed The F*ck Off," Ryan rants about the country, and shows a doctored photo of Speaker Ryan that appears to show a man giving him oral sex.
He goes on to claim "cannabis" helps him when he's "pissed the f*ck off."
The radioactive material charges carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, according to NBC 15.

Moran, Tiahrt must distinguish themselves to voters
Republicans vying for Senate seat are both conservative, but have some differences
Jul 20, 2009 - 12:00am
Greensburg, Kan., city manager Steve Hewitt, second from left, tells the story of losing his home to a tornado to members of the Kansas congressional delegation in this 2007 file photo. Listening are, Rep. Todd Tiahrt, left, Rep. Jerry Moran, second from right, and Sen. Sam Brownback. Tiahrt and Moran will face off in the 2010 primary for a seat in the Senate.
The voting records of U.S. Reps. Todd Tiahrt and Jerry Moran reveal that both Kansans are among the conservative members of Congress.
"It was pretty hard to tell them both apart," said Michael Lynch, a Kansas University assistant professor of political science.
However, Kansas Republican voters will need to find a way to distinguish between the two longtime House members in the next year. Both men hope to replace Republican Sen. Sam Brownback, who is running for governor.
The August 2010 primary will mark a face-off between Tiahrt, who has represented the Wichita area in the House since 1995, and Moran, a seven-term congressman whose district includes most of western and central Kansas.
"This is kind of the expected showdown in Kansas politics," said Chapman Rackaway, an associate professor of political science at Fort Hays State University.
Even though the American Conservative Union recognized both Tiahrt and Moran in 2008 for their voting records, political pundits say voters can find differences between the two men.
Moran, for instance, has voted against the Republican Party in recent years on some civil liberties issues such as warrantless wiretapping and prison detainee issues. He also voted on expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program. Tiahrt voted against expanding SCHIP.
"There's only a couple of votes where there's a clear difference between the two," Lynch said.
The winner of the primary would be tough to beat in the general election. That's because the Democrats' best chance to compete left the state months ago when Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius became U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Rackaway said.
Two Survey USA polls conducted earlier this year showed a very tight race. Moran tended to get more support from people who identified themselves as moderates, and Tiahrt won more backing from conservatives.
However, the polls also showed that many potential voters were undecided, especially those who live in northeastern Kansas, where neither Moran or Tiahrt is particularly well-known.
Bob Beatty, a Washburn University associate professor of political science, said the quickest way to get a leg up in the race could be to start winning over voters in Republican-rich Johnson County.
Tiahrt's campaign has already started to run ads critical of President Barack Obama and Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for their support of the stimulus bill. Beatty said it may be a better strategy for Moran and Tiahrt to try to establish themselves as the best anti-status quo candidate in Washington, rather than the most conservative.
"It's really going to be fascinating to see who can do well in eastern Kansas," Beatty said.
A long race
The main comparison between the two campaigns so far is fundraising.
Moran raised nearly $385,000 in the last quarter compared with Tiahrt's $322,000. Because he has faced less-competitive challenges in past House races compared to Tiahrt, Moran has been able to stockpile cash — giving him an overall advantage of $3.1 million to $1.4 million in cash on hand.
However, the race is a year away, and both campaigns are happy with the money they are bringing in.
"The best campaign for office is to do the job that you have as well as you know how to do it," Moran said.
Tiahrt is using a different strategy that includes airing ads early in the process.
"We have to have somebody who will go out and do what's necessary," Tiahrt said.
He has won support of social conservatives in the state, including Kansans for Life and former Rep. Jim Ryun, who took a jab at Moran.
"We have no use for another politician who fades into the background out of fear that he will offend someone and not win 80 percent of the vote in his next election against token opposition," Ryun wrote in his letter supporting Tiahrt.
Both candidates have also trotted out legislation to seek the fiscally conservative mantle.
Moran has won support from Sens. Tom Coburn, of Oklahoma, and John Thune, of South Dakota. He has also sponsored a bill for the federal government to rid its holdings in private companies by next summer.
Tiahrt wants Congress to repeal some economic stimulus funding, a stance Democrats in the state criticized him for saying it would force deeper state budget cuts.
The focus on economic issues is revealing about the candidates' strategies, Rackaway said.
"People want solutions-based leadership, and they don't necessarily want partisan posturing," he said. "Both of these guys respond to that."
The challenge comes in balancing their current jobs in the House and trying to win support of both conservative and undecided voters for the August 2010 primary.
"We're not going to know what is going to sway them until much closer to Election Day," Beatty said.


Se llevará a cabo el 14 de octubre de 2017 en Justo y Pecadores, Diego de Almagro 02519, Rancagua (Chile).
Contarán con $200.000 al ganador de cada overall.
Pesaje: De 10:30 a 13:00 horas.

What is an AI Virtual Assistant?
AI virtual assistants are the future of the workplace - what are they, what can it do for you, and how is it going to affect your life both in the office and out?
The race for the smartest, fastest and most valuable AI-driven virtual assistant has been on for a few years as major companies have raced to engage and gain users. The competition drives faster progress, which is potentially great for consumers – but does the experience live up to the expectation?
You've used an AI assistant before - think Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa, Samsung's Bixby - but probably, you've never asked it anything beyond tomorrow's weather forecast. Well, it's 2018 folks, and virtual assistants are just a little bit smarter than that. Advances in AI fields such as natural language understanding (NLU) and machine learning have enabled virtual assistants to adapt to, respond to, and learn from their environments. And while it won't be able to fill bowls with colorful candies on the front desk (yet), likely many executives will be willing to deprive their sweet tooth in favor of increasing efficiency, improving communication, and cutting costs in the workplace.
How do we use AI virtual assistants?
We have smart speakers in our cars, our homes, in some stores, and of course – in our smartphones. That's great when you are the only one interacting with the virtual assistant to get tasks done or get instant information, but what about the times when you need your assistant while you're communicating with another person?
Take the following scenario as an example.
John is driving to a lunch meeting and is speaking to his co-worker Alex on the phone.
Alex: Hey John, I wanted to check in with you before your meeting this afternoon. Did the Jones order get processed and fulfilled, or is there still an issue with the manufacturer?
John: Hey Alex, I'm not sure about that - I'll have to check on that and get back to you once I'm out of the car.
Alex: Okay let me know please, Jones has been calling me and I'd like to get this done as soon as possible.
John: Sure, I understand. I'll try and remember to give him a call later this afternoon.
Alex: Okay. Is there any update from the accountant regarding the closing of the Smith account?
John: I was expecting an email from him today, I'll look through my inbox before lunch and will let you know.
Alex: Okay John, talk to you soon.
John: Hey Alex, I'm not sure about that - let me check. Hey Omega, what is the order status on the Jones order?
Omega: The Jones order is on hold, the manufacturer appears to have delayed the order.
John: Thanks Omega, please remind me after lunch to give Ben Hanson from the factory a call regarding the order delay.
Alex: Great, let's take care of that as soon as possible. Is there any update from the accountant about the closing of the Bast account?
John: Omega, have I received any new emails from Kyle Smith?
Omega: There are no unread messages from Kyle Smith in your inbox. Would you like to hear the last message you received from him?
John: No, that's okay. Please send him an email with the following message: Hi Kyle, just wanted to check in with you and see if there's anything new with the Bast account. Please let me know.
Omega: Message recorded, sending now.
Alex: Omega, when Kyle Smith replies, please forward me the email as well.
Alex: Great, good luck with your meeting John.
John: Talk to you soon!
Doesn't that sound better? By adding a virtual assistant onto the line, both parties are able to get the answers and information they need quickly, while controlling their schedule and communications as effectively as if they were both staring at their phone screens. Whereas in the first scenario, John is too distracted to be able to answer any of his co-workers pressing questions, in the second, he is able to both answer them and execute follow-up actions with ease.
An AI-driven virtual assistant like Omega can improve a multitude of workplace and everyday scenarios, in everything from setting meetings in the middle of conference calls to checking inventories while driving your kids to school.
"Omega, please set a meeting with Bill for 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon"
"Omega, please check how many red t-shirts are in stock in the east warehouse"
"Omega, please give me directions to the nearest gas station, and call Emily Baker"
With no interruption to your conversation, no distractions, no stress, you can multi-task and operate business functions – all on your phone line.
This type of situation, along with many others, can be made into your reality using Over.ai's "On the Line" feature. Thanks to Over.ai's advanced telephony integrations, our personal assistant can be triggered using a keyword and wait for your command during a phone call, 24/7/365.
So how else is an AI virtual assistant going to optimize your workday?
Unlike a human, your AI agent is available 24/7/365. It never needs a coffee break, never takes a sick day, and certainly isn't hopping to Hawaii for two weeks. No, your virtual assistant is the perfect employee. It will never be rude to you or a client, and you can always rely on it to be professional and consistent. Your assistant will learn about your business and gain knowledge rapidly, accurately answering many of the day to day questions and concerns that employees and customers may have. When new employees are on-boarded, instead of having your HR representative go through the repetitive process with them, your assistant will be able to help them work through the kinks of a new office and environment.

Hopf bifurcation in systems with multiple time scales takes several forms, depending upon whether the bifurcation occurs in fast directions, slow directions or a mixture of these two. Hopf bifurcation in fast directions is influenced by the singular limit of the fast time scale, that is, when the ratio $\epsilon$ of the slowest and fastest time scales goes to zero. The bifurcations of the full slow-fast system persist in the layer equations obtained from this singular limit. However, the Hopf bifurcation of the layer equations does not necessarily have the same criticality as the corresponding Hopf bifurcation of the full slow-fast system, even in the limit $\epsilon \to 0$ when the two bifurcations occur at the same point. We investigate this situation by presenting a simple slow-fast system that is amenable to a complete analysis of its bifurcation diagram. In this model, the family of periodic orbits that emanates from the Hopf bifurcation accumulates onto the corresponding family of the layer equations in the limit as $\epsilon \to 0$; furthermore, the stability of the orbits is dictated by that of the layer equation. We prove that a torus bifurcation occurs $O(\epsilon)$ near the Hopf bifurcation of the full system when the criticality of the two Hopf bifurcations is different.
Keywords: torus bifurcation, Lyapunov coefficient, slow-fast system, Hopf bifurcation.

The Nightmare of Emancipation: From Edvard Munch to Anders Breivik
Norway's presentation is meant to celebrate the 150th birthday of painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944), entitled "Beware of the Holy Whore: Edvard Munch and the dilemma of emancipation." A central motive is Munch depiction of the "Pile of Humanity," which, according to the press statement "is a reflection on an emancipatory drive that might conclude in tragedy." Munch's struggle with death, the oppressive role of Christianity mediated in the form of his authoritarian father, and his mental breakdown leading even to a shooting incident seems to relate uncomfortably to Anders Breivik's recent massacre of 69 mostly teenage members of a Labour youth organization on the island of Utøya, who was convinced of being a modern crusader fighting the islamization of Europe and the appeasement politics of the Labour Party. Whereas Munch was capable of engaging in an introspective search for the motives of his anxiety and the underlying symbolism, Breivik decided to externalize them. We move from a painted pile of humanity, to an actual pile of dead humans. At what level is the Norwegian pavilion an attempt to overcome Breivik's nightmarish vision of what he considered to be a "cleansed" Europe by means of the historical figure of Munch?

After a former St. Louis police officer was acquitted of murder on Friday, demonstrators took to the city's streets to voice their anger and frustration.
But what started out as peaceful protests this weekend turned violent at night. Police officers were attacked and some businesses were vandalized. Dozens of arrests were made.
St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson, who had rocks thrown at her home according to police, blamed the trouble on a few and said most of the protesters were not violent.


Orhun Cercel was appointed an Acharya by the Sakyong, Mipham Rinpoche in 2012. He comes from a Turkish background and his father was a diplomat, so he travelled a lot in his childhood. "I was brought up in Taiwan, Turkey, Italy and Argentina, before coming to the UK". Orhun studied economics and international relations at Cambridge University before starting a job in the city, working as a financial analyst. "Because of the stresses of my job I learned to meditate in 1990". Eventually he left finance and became interested in psychology and Chinese medicine. He has also worked in the past as a volunteer in counselling agencies helping young carers and people suffering from anxiety and addiction.
David Hope has been a student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche for the past 30 years. He helped establish the London Shambhala Centre in the early 1980's. He set up Shambhala Training in Britain and ran it for many years. Since then he has taught widely in Europe and other countries worldwide, including Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. He has been involved with Dechen Chöling, our residential practice centre in France, since its beginnings in 1995, as one of the first co-directors, and in many other ways. In 2005 he was appointed as Acharya (a senior teacher) for the Shambhala community.
Tessa Watt has been practising meditation with the London Shambhala Centre for 25 years, and was appointed as a Shastri or senior teacher in 2017. Tessa has had a varied career: she was a Research Fellow in History at Cambridge University, and then for 16 years she was a Producer with BBC Radio, making documentary features. For the past decade she's been teaching mindfulness, offering courses for the general public and in workplaces, including many leading companies around the UK. She teaches MPs, Peers and their staff in the Houses of Parliament, and she led an inquiry into 'Mindfulness in the Workplace' for the All-party Parliamentary Group for Mindfulness. Tessa is an Associate of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre, and the author of A Practical Guide to Mindfulness and Mindful London. She lives in Balham and has two university-age daughters.
Jane has been teaching since 1981 in the UK, North America and Europe. Born on the edge of the Pennines in the North East of England, Jane studied fine art and, like many of her generation became fascinated by Eastern religions and art. In the late 60's, while living and working with an experimental theatre group and commune, the Exploding Galaxy, she started to hear rumours about an "interesting and outrageous young lama" who was living somewhere in UK. This was Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. Jane worked for 15 years as a Bereavement Counsellor working with parents whose baby had died from SIDS (Sudden Infant death Syndrome). She has three published books, including "The Beginners Guide to Buddhism".
Professor Peter Conradi is a free-lance writer and Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL). He has written a number of books including Going Buddhist: Panic and Emptiness, the Buddha and me. In the late 1970's Peter lived in the US as an Exchange Professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder. It was there he first encountered meditation. He returned to London in 1980 and began teaching at Kingston University. He describes reading Chögyam Trungpa's Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism as a life-changing experience and a direct transmission. Shortly after, to his delight, he discovered the fledgling London Shambhala Meditation Centre nearby.
In 1990-92 Peter moved to Krakow in Poland, where he was Professor of English at the Jagiellonian University ,and helped facilitate the pioneer Shambhala Training Levels there. In 1997 he took early retirement to write. It also allows him to travel the world leading and teaching Shambhala practice retreats.
Jim O'Neill has been practicing and studying Psychoanalysis for as many years as he has been practicing Buddhism. He teaches at The Philadelphia Association and The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis, of which he a member. He is also a member of the College of Psychoanalysts and a training supervisor, supervising other practitioners' and trainee therapists' clinical work. His psychotherapy teaching has often focused on the relationships and the useful links between Psychoanalysis/Psychotherapy and Buddhist studies and practice. Jim started teaching Shambhala Training and Buddhist studies in 1994 and has taught extensively throughout Europe.
Jez Taylor first discovered Shambhala in 2004 and has been an active member of the community since 2008, holding numerous volunteer roles within the organisation, including Way of Shambhala Coordinator and Meditation Instructor. He has also held the part-time paid role of Centre Manager since 2014. He first became interested in Buddhism and Daoism in 1996 while working at a market research placement year in London as part of his degree in maths, finance, and management at the University of Portsmouth. His varied work life includes database administration, hypnotherapy, various management positions, clothing import, design, and merchandising.

In KB "Panorama" the "Complex of geodesy calculations" has been developed, providing formation of reports of a land-survey and technical plans according to updated forms. The updated complex is a part of GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor" and "Workstation of cadastral engineer" version 14.3.2.109.
The current form of the land survey plan was approved by the order of Rosreestr No. P/0592 "On approval of the form and composition of the information of the land survey plan, requirements for its preparation" (Registered by the Ministry of Justice of Russia on March 31st, 2022 No. 68008). The new requirements for the preparation of a land survey plan have changed the composition of the report sections of the information contained in it. The program provides formation in an automatic mode of a printed form and an electronic XML document. The land survey plan in the form of an electronic document is formed according to the XML scheme MP_V06.
The current form of the technical plan was approved by the order of Rosreestr No. P/0082 "On establishing the form of the technical plan, the requirements for its preparation and the composition of the information contained in it" (Registered in the Ministry of Justice of Russia on 04.04.2022 N 68051). The new requirements for the preparation of the technical plan have changed the composition of the report sections of the information contained in it. The program provides formation in an automatic mode of a printed form and an electronic XML document. The technical plan in the form of an electronic document is formed according to the XML scheme TP_V06.
For the formation of land survey and technical plans, a digital cadastral map containing objects of cadastral work is used. To implement the updated requirements, the digital map classifier survey.v6.rscz has been improved and the templates for printed forms of documents have been updated.
The new version is available on the site in the Download section.

A set of geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 have been supplemented with maps of Hellenic Republic and the Republic of North Macedonia
In KB "Panorama" the digital geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in SITZ format onto territory of Hellenic Republic and the Republic of North Macedonia have been prepared. As a source for preparation of the map the VMap0 data obtained from the information from the site www.gis-lab.info has served. The maps contain information on the number of inhabitants for cities and the name of settlements in Russian. As additional materials the World map of scale 1: 5 000 000 and OpenStreetMap data were used.
The maps were led to the classifier of geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 (1mogk13g.rsc). It can be used for a general assessment of the area and the study of natural conditions, to ensure the educational process, as a basis for the creation of geographic maps of a smaller scale, thematic and special maps, and solving other tasks. The map is distributed free of charge under a free license.
Digital geographic maps of scale 1: 1 000 000 in SITZ format are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Operator" version 14.3.2 has been developed. In the new version the tools of three-dimensional modelling, construction of reports and processing of multispectral images are improved. Possibilities of the GIS on creating, updating and analyzing digital terrain models have been expanded due to including in the software of scripts in Python language which can be written in any text editor.
In the "Navigator 3D" task, the "Scenario of moving objects" mode has been improved. When displaying a scenario, it is possible to display a given movement trajectory and inversion trace or the passed trajectory of individual objects. In the "Scenario setup" dialog, the ability to set a three-dimensional view for the trajectory and trace is added, not only by default, but also with a choice from the scenario classifier. The user can create his own special linear objects of trajectories in the classifier and set the required three-dimensional view for them. This approach improves the view of the displayed scenario and the recognition of moving objects when modeling movements.
The "Reports designer" task has been improved. In the object geometry editing mode, the functions of deleting objects, interactively changing the height of the signature font, adding and deleting borders for insets have been added. There are added a display of the background grid and setting its parameters: display, color, view, position on the map, the ability to disable when exporting a report to graphic files, permission to stick the cursor to grid nodes when creating and editing objects. In the insertion mode, the ability to stick the cursor to grid nodes has been added, the ability to interrupt an unfinished operation has been added. In the object geometry editing mode, the function of binding all points of object to grid nodes has been added. Grouping of buttons has been made. Rarely used modes are designed into group buttons with the ability to select a specific mode through the menu. When saving stamps, the ability to decode objects (from an object with a classifier code into a graphic object) has been added, which allows you later to load this stamp into a map with any classifier. In interactive modes the hints in the info line have been added.
For multispectral rasters imported in the "Do not copy the input image to RSW file" mode, support for channel color depth of 32 and 64 bits has been added. To convert the color to 8 bits, the minimum and maximum values determined by the reduced image are used during display. Single-channel rasters with real pixel encoding, which are usually used to store matrix height data, are displayed in grayscale.
The task "Map Legend" has been improved. On the "Maps", "Rasters", "Matrixes", "Models" bookmarks, an information sign "(!)" is set if the coordinate system of the added data does not match the current coordinate system of the main document. On the "Maps" bookmark, an updating the content of the classifier tree has been improved when changing the contents of vector map objects. For example, if the filter "Objects available on the map" is set in the "Map legend", when an object is placed onto the map that is not part of the tree, the legend will be automatically rebuilt. In the "Map Legend" and "Data List" tasks, the updating of visibility of maps, rasters, matrixes and geoportals is synchronized.
In the "Run applications" dialog, the "Scripts" bookmark has been added for executing scripts in the Python language. Node the Base set of scripts is initially installed in the script tree, which contains scripts supplied with the GIS. To connect user scripts, you can create your own nodes (themes) for their grouping. The base set of scripts demonstrates the execution of various procedures for processing the coordinates and attributes of vector map objects, solving computational problems, converting data, etc. The base scripts are located in a shared folder like: \Users\Public\Documents\Panorama\py_base14 .
The "Latest commands" item has been added into the the context menu, which contains a list of the latest executed commands in various tasks and the executed applications from the "Run applications" dialog. A combination of the Shift key and the right mouse button is used for immediately calling a list of latest commands.
The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

The new version provides creation of a report on the correction of a registry error based on the results of determining the coordinates of the characteristic points of the boundaries and the area of land plots, the contours of buildings, constructions, objects under construction, the boundaries of municipalities, settlements, territorial zones, forestries.
The report is formed in accordance with the Procedure for changing in the Unified State Register of Real Estate of information about location of the boundaries of the land plot when correcting a registry error, approved by order of Rosreestr dated 01.06.2021 No. P/0241. According to paragraph 9, based on the results of determining the coordinates, the Federal State Budgetary Institution "FKP Rosreestr" (its branches) prepare a Report in electronic form.
For forming the Report, a new mode "Correction of registry errors" has been developed. It provides in an automatic mode the Report creation by a template and filling of fields with the data. The program reads from the cadastral map the coordinates of the characteristic points of the boundaries of cadastral objects contained in the EGRN and new coordinates determined by the authorized organization and proposed for correction of a registry error. According to the coordinates offered for correction of a registry error, the area of land plots is calculated. The value of the calculated area is compared with the area of the object specified in the EGRN. The percent of discrepancy between the values and the size of the error in determining the area are inserted into the Report. Also, when forming the Report, information about the method of determining the coordinates and the root mean square error is entered simultaneously in relation to all points of the object boundary.
At automatic filling the Report the cadastral map is used created according to the digital classifier survey.v6.rscz, with using the objects of layer "Correction of registry errors". Onto a map the boundaries of cadastral objects should be put according to the coordinates contained in the EGRN and the new boundaries of cadastral objects,determined by an authorized organization and offered for correction of a registry error. For identification of cadastral objects and an establishing a conformity of boundaries of the objects recorded in the Unified State Register of Real Estate and defined for correction of a registry error, cadastral numbers of objects of real estate and registry numbers of objects boundaries of the registry of boundaries are used. The procedure for preparing a cadastral map is described in the documentation and electronic help for the program.
The current version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Confidence index of business operators for the month of August was 92.5 points – down from 93.2 points recorded in July, according to the Federation of Thai Industries.
FTA president Supan Mongkolsuthee said the drop in confidence index was due mainly to season factor – that was rain and flooding in several areas, especially in northern and northeastern provinces which affected the purchasing power of consumers for non-durable products and construction industry.
Increasing production costs resulting from higher prices of raw materials and fuel as well as concern of exporters over increased tariffs imposed by the US government on Thai imports also contributed to decline in confidence.
However, he said Thai exports continued to expand continuously as reflected from increased in sale and orders of Thai products in foreign markets.
For the last quarter of the year, it was anticipated that confidence index of exporters would increase to 105.6 points against 104.5 points recorded in July.
