CHICAGO (AP) — Federal officials announced Friday that they will begin intensive monitoring of waterways near Lake Michigan next week after genetic material from the invasive Asian carp showed up in a third consecutive round of testing.
Crews will use electric jolts to stun fish, sweep the waterway with half-mile-long nets and conduct additional sampling in Lake Calumet and the Calumet River near Chicago during a four-day period beginning Monday, the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Council announced Friday.
DNA from silver carp, one of two Asian species threatening to enter the Great Lakes after migrating northward from the South for decades, was found in 11 samples in the lake and the river during testing in July. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced on July 22 that it had found two consecutive samples containing DNA from silver carp and would increase its response if DNA was found in a third sample.
Some scientists say if the large, voracious carp establish a foothold in the Great Lakes, they could unravel the food web by gobbling plankton needed by smaller fish that feed prized sport varieties such as walleye and trout. Environmentalists and officials from several states are calling on the corps to immediately close shipping locks that separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds to stop the carp.
It is unclear from the sampling whether live fish are in the lake or if genetic material came from dead fish or was carried into the lake from bilge water, said Chris McCloud, Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman.
"We're going to take this one step at a time, then we will make informed decisions," McCloud said.
He said biologists will take more samples Monday, then begin electrofishing and netting through Thursday. If at least one carp is found, those steps would be intensified; if two or more are found, officials would evaluate whether to use a toxin to kill the carp, McCloud said.
"We remain vigilant both in monitoring to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes, and also in investigating all possible sources of Asian carp DNA to minimize the human transfer element such as people unknowingly using Asian carp as bait or other activities that could transfer them to the Great Lakes," John Goss, director of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, said in a written statement.
The samples were taken above an electric barrier about 25 miles from Chicago designed to prevent aquatic species from moving between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins.
Federal officials contend the barrier is working well and there's no evidence any Asian carp have passed through it. Just one live Asian carp has been found on the Lake Michigan side of the barrier.
But environmentalists say the federal and Illinois governments must act more quickly and forcefully to ensure the carp don't reach the Great Lakes. They favor placing structures in Chicago-area waterways to sever the century-old, man-made link between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River system.
The corps is studying that and other possible methods of preventing aquatic species from moving between the two basins, but its report is scheduled for release in 2015. Critics say that's too slow.
Joel Brammeier, president of the Alliance for the Great Lakes, said he wasn't surprised by the test results, which he said almost certainly signal live fish are in the waterways.
"The nail-biter is hoping that this intensive monitoring effort does not turn anything up," Brammeier said. "That would mean they're most likely there in very low numbers, (but) the more you find, the more critical the situation is for Lake Michigan and the Great Lakes.
Five states — Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — have filed a federal lawsuit demanding quicker action.
Patricia Birkholz, director of Michigan's Office of the Great Lakes, said the steps planned for next week to combat the carp in Lake Calumet are appropriate.
"If you wake up in your house and you smell smoke, you call the fire department," he said.


Start by riding the balloon ride (SKYRIDE) just inside the front gate. It gives you a great view of the layout of the park.
Save the rides or petting zoo until the end, otherwise you'll never get your kids out of the water.
The kiddy area is adorable! You really can bring small children.
Guests should consider a locker for their valuables (especially cell phones/cameras). The water safes that are sold in the gift shops work really great for a lot of people who splash around in the Wave Pool/Lazy River etc., but if you really want to enjoy all the water slides, a locker rental is the safest bet for those expensive items.
Don't miss the free circus show! My kids loved it!
You can bring coolers & food into the park – just no glass containers!
Waterproof plastic holder for cash & other small valuables.
Don't wear your sunglasses on the slides!
Even if it's raining, stay in the park. It's still a BLAST and 9 out of 10 times the rain passes.
There are lawn chairs by the top deck of the wave pool.
Go in June. The lines aren't as long, but it's well worth the wait anytime of the season.
Consider renting a tube for the day-it's just $6. By doing this, you can bypass the line at the bottom of the ride to get a tube and head directly to the top. What's even better, there's a $1 refund for returning your tube!
Avoid lines at the end of the night by purchasing Paul Bunyan Cards in the morning or early afternoon.
Buy your tickets online or at a local establishment that sells them so you can save money & go through the faster admission line!
Paul Bunyan Club Card – On your first visit to the park, purchase a Paul Bunyan club membership for a small fee. Membership entitles you to return for half price admission as many times as you like for the remainder of the season.
Take advantage of the Siesta Savings, enter the park after 3pm (2pm days the park is open from 10-4) and get the next day free. It's a great way to enjoy the park for some extra time, especially when staying overnight!
Don't forget the candy shop – it's epic!
Buy your soft ice cream cone early in the day, because everyone else waits until right before they leave!
When attending a catered event, go to the pavilions early to get your wristband to avoid long lines at serving time.
We do sell sunscreen in most of our gift shops and at two sunscreen stations. We also sell bathing suits, hats, sunglasses, and t-shirts to protect you and your family from the sun.
Helpful hint: wear sunscreen all day and reapply often (even if you're not in the water).
Yes we do! ATMs are located in the front of the park at the Paul Bunyan Gift Shop, and also in the back of the park in the Woodcenter Gift Shop.
Yes, you may purchase tickets for a discounted price online! Click Here!

If there is lightning, the rides will temporarily close for safety, just until the lightning passes, and then the rides will reopen.
Sorry, no refunds or rain checks.
Pets are not permitted in any of the water areas, but are permitted in the rest of the park provided they are on a leash and never left unattended. Please pick up after your pets.
Helpful hint: Leave your pet at home and never leave him or her in the car, or call Feathers and Boughs at (315) 369-2323 to arrange a special day of fun for your furry family member at a caring facility.
Can I exit the park during the day and get back in?
Yes, you would have your hand stamped when you exit and re-enter through admissions.
Do you offer personal paging?
Sorry we do not offer personal paging.
Can my child go in the pools if he/she wears a diaper?
Swim diapers are required of all children who normally wear a diaper.
Regular diapers are not permitted on any of our water rides or in any of our pools.
Why your bathing suit, of course!
Be sure to have some shoes too, as you will need them to ride some of the amusement rides and for comfort when walking through different areas of the park.
Due to the nature of some of our attractions, jewelry, eyeglasses, and water shoes are not allowed on the water rides. For your safety, the safety of others and for the care of our slides, all bathing suits must be free of zippers, rivets, buttons, or other hard objects. Any jean shorts or other clothing with rivets or metal objects are not allowed on any of the water rides. Remember, this is a family park, please no thongs or inappropriate swimwear.

Monitor your business with high-speed Internet using digital and hybrid video recorders (HVRs). These shoot quality, clear video, record motion, and email clips to authorities in the event of an emergency.
Our hybrid recorders are ideal for businesses that already have existing analog equipment. Cannon can incorporate analog and IP cameras into one video surveillance system, rather than installing a brand new one.
Wireless security cameras make it easy to monitor your business. For businesses that need to make sure their cameras are hidden, these are easy to install in secure places without complicated wiring. Because of easy installation, they are great for large business complexes that need lots of surveillance. These wireless security cameras are weather-resistant and can be placed both inside and outside. In addition, audio options are available for those who want to see and hear what is going on.
For business owners who want full protection over their inventory or other areas vulnerable to theft, an infrared night vision camera is recommended. Infrared technology allows business owners to see detailed images in the dark. This makes it much easier to identify criminal activity and suspects. Infrared night vision cameras are great for businesses that are not open 24/7, especially retail stores and other businesses that have inventory to protect.
This surveillance technology provides much higher resolution images than analog closed circuit television cameras, making it easy to get detailed images or identify faces. High-def megapixel IP cameras are best for businesses that need to monitor people or objects in a scene because of the great detail and clarity they offer; however, these are more expensive than analog cameras. For businesses that need point of sales monitoring, this type of camera is a great solution.Type your paragraph here.
Video surveillance systems are a must for businesses. They provide an easy, reliable way to monitor activity, even when you are not there. Cannon will help you determine key areas of your facility that should have surveillance. We can also incorporate existing security cameras into your new CCTV surveillance system.
We offer several types of video surveillance systems from trusted brands like Samsung, Axis, Exacqvision, and Interlogix. The benefits of video surveillance are endless, but they ultimately give you more control of your business.
* Monitor important areas such as stock rooms and cash registers.
* Keep an eye on your business, even when you're not there.
* Receive alerts to your email or phone when cameras are triggered.

Q: Continue the try even excepted A few days ago I asked a question on this site, but I think the people who shared their time to help me (thank you to them) did not really realize my point of view. Here is the link Catch and Continue? C#
They thought I wanted to end the try-catch, and continue with the rest of the code. But I don't
That is my question but more reformed:
I want to get a try-catch, but I need the try to the end even it returns an exception. like this:
        // I thought a perfect example with math for this case.
        // It is possible to divide a number with negative and positive numbers
        // but it is not possible to divide a number by zero, So
        // 5/5= 1                  // ok
        // 5/4= 1.25               // ok
        // 5/3= 1.66666666667      // ok
        // 5/2= 2.5                // ok
        // 5/1= 5                  // ok
        // 5/0= Math Error // Oh, this is an error so I stop the try here.
        // 5/-1= -5                // foo
        // 5/-2= -2.5              // foo
        // 5/-3= -1.66666666667    // foo
        // 5/-4= -1.25             // foo
        // 5/-5= -1                // foo
        // foo = This is not a error, but I will not do it because the previous error

What I need here is to "ignore" that exception and continue try-catch (divide all positive and negative numbers by ignoring division by zero.) How can I do it?
This is just a clear example for my problem, I know someone would say to put all the "numbers" in a listbox and remove what I do not want however my original code always returns the same exception
With undefined results (both can be x as y can be).
(Is not a critical exception such as lack of memory or capacity, is a simple exception that will not make any logical problem, so there is no problem ignoring the exception)
Thank You!

A: I think this is what you want:
foreach(var x = 5; x > -5; x--)
{
    try
    {
        // Do the math here
    }
    catch(Exception)
    {
        // Log/Print exception, just don't throw one or the loop will exit
    }
}

The code above will continue processing even if an exception occurs.

A: try { operation1(); } catch { }
try { operation2(); } catch { }
try { operation3(); } catch { }
...

As a side note, if you find yourself wanting to do this, chances are your design pattern is flawed.

UK car production rises 13% in February
Car production in the UK continued its strong start to 2016 with 13.1% year on year growth to 146,955 units in February. Export production increased 9.1% to 104,880, with output for UK market up 24.4% to 42,075. Year to date total output was up 10.6% to 284,507 cars.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: "The UK automotive industry's impressive growth continued into February, with demand from both domestic and overseas customers showing no signs of slowing. The outlook for the sector is bright, but much will depend on global political and economic conditions in the months and years to come."
John Leech, UK head of automotive at KPMG, said: "UK car production grew strongly by 13.1% in February due to new models such as the Vauxhall Astra and Jaguar XE now in full production. Demand remains buoyant in the UK, EU and US and I believe that demand has bottomed out in China and Russia.
"Although the UK and US markets are close to their peaks, the EU is still below its pre-recession demand levels suggesting that there is still plenty of room for further growth in our major export market. 2016 is shaping up to be a great year for UK car manufacturers and I forecast that the all-time production record will be set in 2020."

"You pulled me out of the pits of hell. I'll do anything for you." I am still drawn to this quote from our video series on Sunday. What the world has to offer leaves us empty, but Jesus fills us with purpose and life. It's by his grace we are saved and saved for a purpose. This week's simple challenge is to memorize John 14:6 declaring that Jesus is the way.

Today, I'd like to highlight what happens under-the-covers when a client tries to connect to an AP after data rates have been manipulated. Specifically, I'm talking about the probing behavior of both the client and the AP. If you've ever wondered how this works, I'm here to tell you about it today!
A standard WLAN best practice to improve performance is to disable low data rates on the APs in an enterprise network. This helps to increase overall network capacity by eliminating overhead caused from management frames sent out at the lowest configured Basic data rate, and to ensure data frames aren't sent at the low data rates which consume large amounts of airtime for application traffic.
First, let's briefly describe how probing works in a legacy WLAN deployment, when the AP supports all 802.11b data rates (1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps). In this scenario, the client sends out a Probe Request at the lowest data rate it supports, typically 1 Mbps. The AP will issue a Probe Response back to the client, again at 1 Mbps. They both understand each other, life is happy!
Now let's examine what happens when data rates have been manipulated on an AP, for instance all 802.11b data rates have been disabled and 6 Mbps is now the lowest Basic data rate.
The client probes at 1 Mbps (as usual) since it doesn't know "what's out there" yet. It's trying to discover all the nearby APs that it could connect to and what their capabilities are. So, it sends out the Probe Request at the lowest data rate it supports to achieve the maximum visibility and trigger all nearby APs to respond.
Now, what our AP with manipulated data rates does is the interesting part. Even though it can properly receive and decode the client's Probe Request at 1 Mbps, it is only configured to support 802.11g/n data rates (6 Mbps and higher). So what does it do? It issues a Probe Response at it's configured lowest data rate. After all, the configuration policy now states that all 802.11b data rates are disabled, so let's respond to the client at our lowest Basic data rate of 6 Mbps. If the client is 802.11g capable it will still be able to decode the frame and process the response. We also inform the client in the Probe Response of the supported rates and which ones are mandatory (the meaning of 'Basic' rate).
Clients that don't support the lowest Basic data rate can't connect to the WLAN. In this example, 802.11b-only clients that don't support 802.11g/n would not be able to connect.
Clients that have too low an SNR to decode the lowest Basic data rate won't be able to connect to the WLAN; they won't be able to decode the response frame from the AP. Data rate manipulation can effectively be used to limit the size and "association range" of a Wi-Fi access point (but not the "coverage range" since the signal still travels just as far and can cause interference even though it can't be decoded). Now think about the implications on association range if we made 18 Mbps the lowest Basic data rate.
It's worth noting that 802.11n requires at-least one legacy 802.11a/b/g data rate configured as a Basic data rate. Therefore, WLAN vendors that have the ability to allow only 802.11n clients and reject legacy 802.11a/b/g clients do so through other methods unrelated to data rate manipulation, typically by rejecting association requests by clients that don't advertise support for 802.11n MCS rates.

New on our bookshelf:
Birthplace of the Atomic Bomb: A Complete History of the Trinity Test Site
William S. Loring
It was not Robert Oppenheimer who built the bomb—it was engineers, chemists and young physicists in their twenties, many not yet having earned a degree. The first atomic bomb was originally conceived as a backup device, a weapon not then currently achievable. The remote Trinity Site—the birthplace of the bomb—was used as a test range for U.S. bombers before the first nuclear device was secretly detonated. After the blast, locals speculated that the flash and rumble were caused by colliding B-29s, while Manhattan Project officials nervously measured high levels of offsite radiation.
Drawing on original documents, many recently declassified, the author sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history—now approaching its 75th anniversary—told from the point of view of the men who inaugurated the Atomic Age in the New Mexico desert.

Collective Contract and Nationalization Finalized at Venezuela's Steel Plant
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez signed a collective contract with
workers at the Sidor steel plant yesterday, formalizing an agreement
reached between workers and the government last week. Also, Chavez signed the law-decree for the nationalization of Sidor.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez meets with Sidor workers (ABN)
Caracas, May 13, 2008 (venezuelanalysis.com) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez signed a collective contract with workers at the Sidor steel plant yesterday, formalizing an agreement reached between workers and the government last week. The agreement follows 16 months of contract disputes with the previous management, the Argentine controlled Ternium that had sparked repeated work stoppages and led Chavez to order the nationalization of the plant.
In addition to the collective contract, Chavez also signed a law formalizing the nationalization of Sidor, and appointed Rodolfo Sanz, minister of Basic Industries and Mining, as the company's president. The workers themselves would elect the company's vice president Chavez said Monday in a televised address from Sidor.
Under the nationalization law, Ternium, which is still negotiating terms with the government, must completely hand over Sidor to Venezuela by June 30.
Chavez also announced the formation of a Transition Commission, headed by Labor Minister Roberto Hernández, which includes Minister for Light Industries William Contreras, as well as worker representatives to oversee the full nationalization of the company.
"We can't fail. Sidor has to become a socialist company, and we have to do that ourselves, the government and the workers together," he said.
The new collective agreement, which is retroactive from May 1, covers workers from 2008 to 2010 and establishes an initial daily increase of 33 Bs.F (US$15.35) and two additional raises of 10 Bs.F ($4.65) by 2009, equivalent to a 79.8% overall increase, raising the monthly salary to 2,231 Bs.F (US$ 1,037). The contract also grants workers a retroactive payment of 35,000 Bs.F (US$ 16,279), for outstanding benefits, overtime and sick leave that the company never paid.
During a speech to workers at the steel plant yesterday, Sanz announced that more than 1,000 contract workers will also be incorporated into the new agreement.
"The sentiment of the President of the Republic, Hugo Chavez Frias, is that in this company there will not be first class workers and second class workers - all the workers are equal because all provide their services," Sanz sustained.
On this point he added, "There would be no sense in nationalizing the company if the pattern of labor and production remained the same as the transnational company," which previously owned Sidor.
The minister also indicated that a "radical transformation" would be initiated within the company in contrast to "the merciless exploitation to which all the workers and contract workers were submitted" under the previous management.
Despite these intentions, a conflict has broken out over the question of the approximately 9,000 contract workers, who are demanding to be incorporated onto the payroll.
While some workers will be incorporated on the basis of "equal pay for equal work," a further 8,000 workers who carry out service and maintenance positions, such as cleaners, machinists, drivers and canteen workers, among others, and are contracted under 250 different agreements, argue they should also be covered in the collective agreement.
On May 9, after initiating and 8 hour strike and shutting down sections of the plant, 400 contract workers occupied the office of the United Steel Industry Workers Union (SUTISS), which represents the 4,500 fixed workers, calling for the union take their demands into account.
SUTISS Press Secretary, Juan Valor, a member of Marcela Maspero's union current, the Collective of Workers in Revolution (CTR), called on the union to support the struggle of the contract workers.
"Comrades of SUTISS, now is the time to show that the true leaders are with the workers and with social justice. We must look for mechanisms to integrate these comrades who work together with us."
However, other members of the union have argued that the immediate incorporation of all the contract workers would be financially unviable and cause the company to collapse. Nerio Fuentes, SUTISS General Secretary, argued that Valor "is irresponsible for giving the contract workers false hopes."
Chavez responded to the demands of the contract workers yesterday saying, "They can't ask me to achieve in one day what has not been achieved in ten years."
"The contract that was signed today is the best contract in the history of the steel plant," he added and assured that the problem of the contract workers was high on his agenda, but argued the process of incorporating them all into the collective contract would take time.
Luis José García, who has worked for ten years as a contractor in the steel plant, said the contract workers were willing to flexibilize their position. "We can accept that only a certain number of contractors are included in the payroll, in order that later, in a short period of time, all workers connected to the plant pass over to the payroll," said Garcia, adding, "This should be a signed agreement."
Stalin Perez Borges, national coordinator of the National Union of Workers and member of the Marea Socialista union current, said the issue of what to do with the contract workers, "goes to the heart of the problem." "On this issue there are many voices with different arguments, although all appear to agree that the situation is unjust," he added.
"However," he clarified, "the conflict has not been resolved and the comrades have not heard solutions to their demand. In this sense there should be no doubts, Marea Socialista is for the incorporation of all these comrades onto the payroll."
Perez Borges added that the argument that it is financially unviable to incorporate the contract workers is "false."
The existing cost of contracting out the work could pay in part for their incorporation onto the payroll he explained. The remaining cost should be subtracted from the compensation to be paid to Ternium given that the company is responsible for the casualization and contracting out of labor in the first place, he argued.
Although the issue has not been resolved, Valor told Venezuelanalysis.com that the collective agreement, which will establish a joint commission to assess the situation of all the contract workers and present a definitive number of those to be incorporated in 90 days, "is historic, because it opens the possibility, not immediately, but progressively, that we can have all workers included in the payroll of the company."
Chavez also announced the creation of the Venezuelan Steel Corporation, "to organize the sector, from the mines to the factory" and assured that PDVSA, Venezuela's state owned oil company, would sign an agreement with the company to invest in the production of tubes and steel for oil drilling platforms.
The company should also diversify production to produce electrical goods, car parts and other products, which would serve as a source of employment for thousands of workers he said.


This Day in Showbiz History…December 16 – …..SoSuterBill…..
This day in history was of some note in the life of the late Elvis Presley (pictured), as in 1956 he reportedly made his 50th and final appearance on the TV show, Louisianna Hayride, and, the following year on the same day, it is documented, bought a Santa sleigh and eight reindeer that became a regular festive season decoration at Graceland.
On this day in 1961, it is reported, Elvis's soundtrack to his film Blue Hawaii reached No 1 on the US album chart, remaining there for 20 weeks. And on this day in 1973, it is reported, he recorded the song Promised Land.
On this day in 1978, a reissue of Elvis's 40 Greatest Hits reached No 40 in Britain. It is also reported that on this day in 2004, it was announced that Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, would keep Graceland but sell most of the Elvis estate. The deal, worth about $100 million, included the rights to the Presley name and image.
Still with music…South Africa's Springbok Radio chart was topped by local artist Tommy Overstreet with Heaven Is My Woman's Love this week in 1973. It crowned the chart for seven weeks.


R etrospect of our actions will bring happiness of attendant ease.
E very ounce or decibel of voice a boon we will give to our fierce advocating gown.
S ave the girls from illiteracy, servitude and non-education.

The world is full of men who say they'll Never settle down and stick with just one woman. Singer Jaheim, at one time, was among that crowd who refused to "hang their jersey up and leave the game." That is, until he found the woman of his dreams. Having been together for a while and happy as ever, Jaheim frequently looks back at his past and all of the false assumptions he made. In short, Never is a song that so many can relate to; a smooth and easygoing single which should translate into heavy rotation on the Urban AC charts. Jaheim's untitled new project is set to drop next year.

A BIGGER SPLASH: POOLS IN THE ART WORLD
We take a deep dive into the pools in the art and film world
Ah, swimming pools. Who doesn't love them? The signature of summer and a symbol of good health and athleisure. When you think of swimming pools, it's hard not to think of yourself on a sunlounger, cocktail in one hand, pretending to read a book with the other, in somewhere, anywhere, more exotic than home; say, a Greek Island or at The Beverly Hills Hotel. But the swimming pool, perhaps a form of escapism for many, is also an unforgettable tool in the art world.
Take the film industry for example, that scene in The Graduate where Dustin Hoffman is idly floating on a lilo in his parents pool when his father interrogates him about his 'drifting' through life. How about the opening credits to Sexy Beast, in which Ray Winston sunbathes by his private pool wearing only those orange briefs, a gold chain necklace and a copious coating of tanning oil? Iconic! And who else watched He's Just Not That Into You and earnestly wondered whether they too could lure Bradley Cooper's attraction by swimming nude like Scarlett Johansson does? Let's not forget the pool party scene either - an integral part of many of the movies in KOIBIRD's favourite films catalogue. Boogie Nights, American Hustle, Eight Grade and Ladybird explicitly demonstrate having a private pool as a status of wealth, and denotes everything from 70s Hollywood glamour to the teen experience.
A Bigger Splash by David Hockney
But swimming pools aren't limited to the screen. Both Hockney and Matisse have employed the swimming pool as a prop for their work. Hockney's paintings A Bigger Splash and Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) depict the woozy candy colours of Los Angeles, and the focus? Not the figure, but the pool. It's a work often cited in popular culture, inspiring everything from Jacquemus collections to director Luca Guadagnino.
In conceptual art, The Swimming Pool installation by Leandro Erlich is an optical phenomenon and groundbreaking work. Scandinavian duo Elmgreen & Dragset admitted to also having 'a swimming pool fetish' in an interview with The Guardian in 2016, the same year their sculpture Van Gogh's Ear - an ear lobe shaped 1950s pool that stands vertically - was placed outside the Rockefeller building in New York. The pair also showcased The Whitechapel Pool in 2018.
The Swimming Pool installation by Leandro Erlich
Noted photographer Slim Aarons was also known for being as obsessed with swimming pools – featuring them in his work almost as much as he did the American upper class. Works such as Poolside Glamour, Nice Pool and Poolside Gossip are his most famous, and all feature wealthy socialites sitting around pools in Beverly Hills, Bermuda and beyond. Where most works in the art world set to glamorise the swimming pool, or at least use it as a device to depict glamour itself, Wolfgang Tillmans photograph Hallenbad Detail draws lights to the average public pool. Looking at it conjures memories of those stifling hot days in London when Shoreditch House is full, so you find yourself seeking refuge at lidos in London Fields or the Serpentine.
But sometimes swimming pools don't have to be featured in art to be considered a work of art themselves. Who else has the Picasso pool in Marbella in their saved folder on Instagram? And have you seen artist Alex Proba's Palm Springs painted pool? What about the pool at Gianni Versace's Miami house? They are all at the top of the KOIBIRD pool swoon list.

And just when you think you're culturally full to the brim of pool talk, desperately gagging to jump into any body of water - be it a paddling pool or Hampstead Heath ponds - let us wet your appetite for fancy AF pools even further with our top ones on the KOI Bucket List...

SCC confirms principles of oppression remedy in personal liability
July 13, 2017 |Written By Elizabeth Raymer
Douglas Mitchell of Irving Mitchell Kalichman LLP, lead counsel for the respondent, says the SCC "reaffirmed the idea that … the oppression remedy is a broad remedy, [meant to be] applied flexibly by a trial judge, taking into account the particular circumstances of any case."
The Supreme Court of Canada has clarified and confirmed the principles of oppression remedy in a Quebec case that pitted a onetime company president against current directors after the former saw the proportion and value of his corporate shares reduced.
In dismissing the appeal from corporate directors in Andrus Wilson v. Ramzi Mahmoud Alharayeri, the Supreme Court recognized a near-20-year-old Ontario appellate court decision as good law, and upheld the broad wording of the oppression remedy in the Canada Business Corporations Act.
"I think the [Supreme] court reaffirmed the idea that … the oppression remedy is a broad remedy, [meant to be] applied flexibly by a trial judge, taking into account the particular circumstances of any case," Douglas Mitchell of Irving Mitchell Kalichman LLP in Montreal and lead counsel for the respondent, told Legal Feeds.
The respondent had been president and CEO of Wi2Wi Corporation before resigning his positions over non-disclosure and conflict-of-interest issues during an attempted corporate merger. The appellant, a member of Wi2Wi's board, then became its new president and CEO.
Later, the board decided to issue a private placement of convertible secured notes to its existing common shareholders. Before the private placement, the board accelerated the conversion of Class C Convertible Preferred Shares, beneficially held by an investment company for the appellant, despite doubts as to whether the financial test for C Share conversion had been met. In board meetings the appellant and another director advocated against converting the respondent's A and B shares, although they did meet the relevant conversion tests, on the basis of the respondent's prior conduct as president; this meant that he did not participate in the private placement and the value of his A and B Shares and proportion of his common shares in Wi2Wi were substantially reduced. The respondent then filed an application under s. 241 of the Canada Business Corporations Act for oppression against four of Wi2Wi's directors, including the appellant.
The trial judge held the appellant and another director solidarily liable for the oppression and ordered them to pay compensation to the respondent. In dismissing the appeal, Quebec's Court of Appeal held that the imposition of personal liability was justified.
Mitchell says he argued that a court being able to order a remedy as it saw fit was consistent with the wording of the CBCA statute and its oppression remedy. "I think the appellants were trying to construct barriers and limitations on the circumstances in which the courts could develop remedies, and the SCC rejected that approach," he says. "They tried to establish a test, … a series of factors that must be present in all cases before you can determine that directors should be liable. Ultimately, the SCC said that position is inconsistent with the purpose of this statute."
"Section 241(3) [the oppression remedy] of the Canada Business Corporations Act gives a trial court broad discretion to 'make any interim or final order it thinks fit,' " Justice Suzanne Côté wrote for the court.
"[T]he Act's wording goes no further to specify when it is fit to hold directors personally liable under this section. As stated in the leading decision, Budd v. Gentra Inc. (1998), 43 B.L.R. (2d) 27 (Ont. C.A.), determining the personal liability of director requires a two pronged approach. First, the oppressive conduct must be properly attributable to the director because of his or her implication in the oppression. Second, the imposition of personal liability must be fit in all the circumstances."
At least four general principles should guide courts in fashioning a fit remedy under s. 241(3) of the CBCA, Justice Côté wrote. "First, the oppression remedy request must in itself be a fair way of dealing with the situation. … Second, any order should go no further than necessary to rectify the oppression. Third, any order may serve only to vindicate the reasonable expectations of security holders, creditors, directors or officers in their capacity as corporate stakeholders. And fourth, a court should consider the general corporate law context in exercising its remedial discretion."
In its decision, the Supreme Court "fleshed out a bit what Budd v. Gentra had set out," says Mitchell, suggesting that the status quo has worked well until now.
"Directors do take on risks when they assume a directorship. They cover off those risks through an indemnity of the corporation, they cover them off through insurance, and commerce still moves along just fine."

Health Canada's new child-resistant refillable vaping device and part container requirements
On November 19, 2020, Health Canada issued a letter to the Vaping Product Industry outlining Health Canada's planned approach to enforce upcoming new child-resistant container requirements for refillable vaping devices and vaping parts. The new requirements are part of Vaping Products Labelling and Packaging Regulations (VPLPR), which are enacted jointly under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) and the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act (TVPA) and come into force on January 1, 2021.
The intent of the new requirements is to help protect the health and safety of young children by reducing the exposure from such products and likelihood of accidental ingestion. It is well known that the vaping products may contain toxic concentrations of nicotine, which can adversely impact vulnerable populations. It is Health Canada's expectation that the vaping product industry as a best practice put best efforts to comply with these upcoming regulatory changes despite of unprecedented circumstances surrounding Covid-19 that may affect industry's ability to comply with the new requirements. In consideration of these circumstances, Health Canada plans to take the following approach to compliance and enforcement:
From January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2021, Health Canada intends to continue its on-going effort to disseminate existing guidance and information to regulated parties in order to promote awareness of and compliance with the regulations; and
Beginning July 1, 2021, Health Canada intends to increase its compliance monitoring activities and take appropriate enforcement action, where necessary, to address identified instances of non-compliance to the new VPLPR child-resistant container requirements for refillable vaping devices and vaping parts
Health Canada has also stated that the Department will enforce the child-resistant container requirements anytime on or after January 1, 2021, if warranted, based on incidents, market complaints, or the risk level.

Q: Is there a way to add custom permissions for web app user in azure active directory For instance, I have an application 'myApp' in app registrations and I have a user in Azure Active Directory User1 which is an Admin in AD. I want to use authentication via Azure AD in that app and want User1 to have a permissions only to access 'api/todos' and 'api/vehicles'. So there can be a role 'Role1with permissionsTodos,Vehicles`. Is there a way to configure that? Thanks.

A: Yes, there is a way to configure that. Azure works with a Role concept. This sample shows how to do it in a web API.
In short: You need to define the possible roles and assign users to them via the application configuration in the admin portal. And then you need to define which roles the user should be in using the [Authorize] attribute, on the web API controller methods, e.g. like in one of the sample's controllers:
    [Authorize(Roles = "Admin, Observer, Writer, Approver")]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ViewBag.Message = "Tasks";
        ViewData["tasks"] = TasksDbHelper.GetAllTasks();
        return View();
    }

As usual with [Authorize] it is inherited, so you can put it on the entire controller class.

Aluhbel is a recording studio located in McAllen, Texas. They work with some of the most talented musicians in the Rio Grande Valley and their studio is loaded with the latest in audio equipment. If you ever need to have a song recorded or a jingle or to rent lights and audio equipment, Aluhbel Studios is the way to go.
Aluhbel reached out to us because they needed a sign to serve as a backdrop for their main recording area and so that clients coming in for the first time get a good look at the studio's branding. It also needed to be backlit so that the logo silhouette would still be visible when the recording session is in progress and the lights are dimmed. Oh! And it needed to be big. Like 4ft x 4ft big.
The first step in the process was obviously design all the pieces needed. After that we had to cut the letters and the logo head in the laser and make sure they would all fit in the frame we had built for it. There was a lot of sanding, aligning, cutting, aligning again and re-aligning before we were confident it was all ready for electronics.
Wiring each letter by hand is not the fastest nor funnest process in the world, but it does end up looking pretty cool after all. It was all connected to a controller with an infrared receiver so the LEDs could be made to change colors ,pulse, fade or flicker with a remote controller. Almost like magic.
After some painting, and final testing, we were ready to deliver the sign to Aluhbel Studios so they could hang it on their wall and have fun with it. But not as much fun as we had building it.


Altocumulus duplicatus clouds are considered to be one of the hardest types of cloud to identify. This is because of the double layer that exists in the cloud wherein the lower layer is more clearly visible, and the upper layer is sometimes not immediately visible.
What height are altocumulus duplicatus found?
Altocumulus duplicatus clouds are formed at the same range as other altocumulus clouds meaning at about 6,500 feet and more although it is rare that these clouds extend beyond 16,000 feet.
The cirrostratus duplicatus and cirrus duplicatus clouds, while these are placed higher up they are easier to identify compared to the duplicatus clouds placed at the other levels.
How are altocumulus duplicatus clouds formed?
The altocumulus duplicatus clouds are formed by the accumulation of water droplets and a mixture of warm air. By contrast the cirrostratus duplicatus and cirrus duplicatus clouds are formed by ice crystals.
What do altocumulus duplicatus clouds look like?
The altocumulus duplicatus clouds tend to be less opaque and therefore it is harder to see the two layers of the altocumulus duplicatus clouds. However at sunset when the sun is lowest in the sky, the layering of the clouds is more pronounced. This is because the lower layer of the altocumulus duplicatus tends to be darker and the layering therefore becomes more visible.
How common are altocumulus duplicatus clouds?
It is suspected that the altocumulus duplicatus clouds are actually quite common although because they are difficult to identify taking into account the problem in determining whether there are indeed two layers of cloud covering, the frequency of reported sightings of such cloud formations is substantially reduced compared to other types of cloud formation.
Where can I see altocumulus duplicatus clouds?
Altocumulus duplicatus clouds are also visible everywhere in the world although because they are harder to identify, it can sometimes be confusing. The best time to identify altocumulus duplicatus clouds are when there is a sunset as the color hues of the upper layer and lower layer of the duplicatus are often bathed in different colors or shades of red, orange or purple.

I'm going to assume you are running the latest version of Raspbian where Minecraft is installed by default. If you are using an older image the directories mentioned below may be different. Given Minecraft must be run in desktop environment I'm going to do all the steps there as well.
I worked through this tutorial using a Pi 3 but it should be possible on any model.
They all have an awesome selection of skins to download for free. They include characters from various categories such as movies, TV, games and fantasy.
The browser should have placed the file in the "/home/pi/Downloads/" directory. In my example the file is called "indianajones.png". (Yes I know the picture above is Batman but I was too excited to maintain the level of consistency I usually try to maintain in my tutorials). You can check it is there by launching the File Manager using the filing cabinet icon on the menu bar at the top of the screen or "Menu > Accessories > File Manager".
Open a terminal windows using the icon at the top of the screen or "Menu > Accessories > Terminal".
This is important so you can always restore the original skin.
Obviously you need to replace "indianajones.png" with the filename you downloaded if you chose a different character. Note the full stop (period) at the end of the command above which means copy the indianajones.png file from /home/pi/ to our current location.
We are all done now!
Run Minecraft using the "Minecraft Pi" menu option. It's under "Games" although you probably worked that out yourself!
Once in the Minecraft World press the [ESC] key. This will take you to the "Game menu". Press the second icon in the top left hand corner to change the view of the camera. Click the "Back to game" button.
Your character should have a new skin and you can watch him/her walk about and build/destroy blocks.
Some of the skins available from the sites I have linked to are not quite in the correct format. They need to be 64×32 PNG files use an RGB palette. If you get a skin that appears to be distorted when you run the game this script should fix it.
This will take the current "char.png" file, crop it to 64×32 and convert to RGB.
Run Minecraft again and hopefully the skin will now look better.
Some skins work better than others. If you get any strange graphical effects you may have to choose a different character.
Remember you can always take screenshots of your new character using my how to take Minecraft screenshots on the Pi tutorial.
Thanks, my daughter loved this.
which is made clear when explaning how one put back the old one.
Have not yet tested, but assume you can make your own skin on nova skins too and use.
Thanks for the update. I've corrected the line now.
I assume that if you play multiplayer everyone displays as your skin?

LEO Express orders Chinese EMUs
CZECH REPUBLIC: Czech open access passenger operator LEO Express signed an order on September 26 for CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive to supply three electric multiple-units in mid-2018, with a framework agreement for up to 30 more which would be delivered in 2019-21. The price was not disclosed.
LEO Express CEO for Central & East Europe Peter Köhler told Railway Gazette that the multi-voltage EMUs will be to a new design, and the technical details are still to be finalised. The order is intended to support the operator's plans to expand beyond the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Köhler said LEO Express is looking across the Central European market, and is currently seeking approval to operate in Poland and Germany. It is also actively bidding for tendered public service contracts.
The LEO Express order is the Chinese rolling stock group's second multiple-unit contract in Europe, following a June 2014 order for the then CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive to supply two electric and four diesel trainsets to Macedonia's national operator MZ Transport.
'We are pleased to work on our first EU contract with an innovative and fast growing passenger transport company', said CRRC ZELC Chief Executive Zhou Qinghe when the LEO Express contract was signed. 'The European market represents a significant opportunity for Chinese engineering. CRRC ZELC will put significant resources into its expansion across Europe and looks forward working with LEO Express on this important project, which hopefully will be the first of many in EU.'
LEO Express was founded by Leoš Novotný in 2010 and began rail services in November 2012. It currently has a fleet of five five-car Stadler Flirt EMUs ordered in September 2010, and also operates coach services to Poland and Ukraine. The privately-owned company says it has been making an operating profit since mid-2013, and December 2015 was the first month which revenues from ticket sales covered operating costs, interest and depreciation. It carried a total of 1·1 million passengers in 2015.
Leo Express goes multimodal
CZECH REPUBLIC: Leo Express has launched a pilot first and last mile service by partnering with peer-to-peer car sharing company HoppyGo. The open access operator has become a minority shareholder in HoppyGo and expects to expand the service to destinations in Poland next year.
Leo Express takes delivery of CRRC EMU
CZECH REPUBLIC: The first of three Sirius electric-multiple-units being built for Leo Express has arrived in the Czech Republic, having been shipped from China via the port of Bremen.
CRRC shows its full range at InnoTrans
INNOTRANS: A highlight of the CRRC stand at InnoTrans 2016 is a concept model for a possible intercontinental high speed train, which the company is promoting for future landbridge rail services between China and Europe.

Having languished long enough in higher education, Terry Crane finally surrendered to restless urges that lead him to walk calmly away with the circus at the tender age of 20. Since then, his thirst for movement and performance mentoring has been a zigzag constellation of off the beaten path destinations, taking him to the San Francisco Circus Center, Montreal's National Circus School (of Cirque du Soleil fame), and the Beijing International Acrobatics School. He has now performed in countless countries, on 3 continents. Terry is a longtime practitioner of capoeira, contact improvisation, hip hop dance, physical theater, and tree climbing. He infuses his work with these influences as well as his own fiercely unique style. Terry loves the sublime experience of circus performance, and daring to reach across the fourth wall to share with all his audiences.

He had not anticipated the pain.

BOpS presents Sāvitri and The Wandering Scholar
BOpSFest presents a double-bill of seminal short operas by Gustav Holst: Sāvitri (1916) & The Wandering Scholar (1934). The two works are dramatic, emotional, and musically rich – and each comes to only half an hour! Sāvitri is a timeless tale of love conquering death. After her husband Satyavān is taken by Death, Sāvitri uses her powers of persuasion and devotion to win her partner back. By contrast, The Wandering Scholar is an ironic comedy. When her husband goes to town, Alison becomes embroiled in a web of love and deceit, involving a lecherous priest and a cunning scholar. An absurd farce ensues, reminiscent of Shakespeare and Fawlty Towers. Together, the pieces present a diverse spectrum of opera's possibilities. Their universal themes and brief running times make them very accessible – and a great introduction to opera for newcomers. This unique experience is not to be missed.
