UK: Hinckley a step closer to approval http://dlvr.it/THwmxD #Coventry #goldentriangle #Hinckley #Intermodal

The #PAOCC believes that embattled former #Bamban, #Tarlac Mayor #AliceGuo is attempting to enter the #GoldenTriangle—a region in mainland #SoutheastAsia covering four nations.

The so-called Golden Triangle, notorious for being under the influence of #syndicates and #triads, spans the intersecting borders of #MekongRiver countries #Laos, #Thailand, #Myanmar, and #Cambodia

The #GoldenTriangle border region between #Myanmar, #Laos and #Thailand has long been a hotbed of illegal drug production and trafficking, particularly of #methamphetamine and #opium.

The total estimated value of Myanmar’s “opiate economy” rose to between $1bn and $2.4bn – the equivalent of 1.7% to 4.1% of the country’s 2022 GDP #TootSEA

The Opium Queen

Opium Queen is the true story of the widely mythologized genderqueer Burmese opium-pioneer of noble Chinese descent, Olive Yang, who secretly ran an anti-communist rebel army supported by the CIA in the 1950s heyday of the Golden Triangle.

A regular decagon, hexagon, and pentagon, each circumscribed by congruent circles form a right triangle that is half a #GoldenTriangle (half a #GoldenRectangle). Exquisite! Sketch with circles can be found by Clifford Pickover at https://twitter.com/pickover/status/1644439985532051456. John Cook noted, "When I first saw the illustration in Panoply of Pentagons (below) I thought that the top of the pentagon was parallel to the top of the hexagon. When I wrote the Python code first assuming this orientation of the pentagon, things didn’t line up. Writing the code made me pay closer attention, as is often the case." at https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2023/04/14/euclid-xiii-10/ #Python code reveals! #geometry #Euclid
