U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an order directing the interior secretary to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" as Canada trade war persists.

Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

The move is reminiscent of his move last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."

You could also use the select tool to draw a single circle, then go to the Select menu and click Border which will create the outer and inner selections with the width you specified between them. Much easier than selecting a circle and de-selecting the centre hole.

    Do you understand how bitmaps and raster drawing works? Everything is represented as a 2d array of pixels. The circle selection before you paint can be moved/scaled/etc and then when you actually want to draw the circle trace the path with the appropriate thickness and use antialiasing if you need to smooth it.

    If you want to make vector drawings, take a look at InkScape. GIMP is the wrong tool for that, so use the right tool for the job if that's what you want to do.

    There's so much really good BC wine. Kelowna has a bit of a cooler climate compared to the southern parts and has some great whites. Lighter reds like Pinot Noir are great as you go south through Penticton, and Oliver, Osoyoos, and the Similkameen Valley have some fantastic full bodied reds. I really prefer Okanagan wine over most California wine.

    Last week I went to taste wine in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia and had some really good wine as well. No real full bodied reds, but some really nice whites - Dry Riesling and Pinot Gris being a few I brought home. Highly recommend checking it out, it's a bit of a hidden gem.

    I'd break up the queso fresco, grind some salt to a powder with a mortar and pestle, add it to the queso fresco and mix together, then put the ball back in some cheese cloth and re-press it. You could probably add a sprinkle of water before putting it in the cloth to help the texture if it's too crumbly. Queso fresco needs to be salty, otherwise it's just like dry ricotta.

    If you setup a small reservoir on a small table or stand in the corner of the balcony you could do a gravity-feed system. Just fill the reservoir every few days when it gets low, and you could still play around with sensors and valves to control the flow.

    Innocent children are dying in Iran because of US and israeli terrorist attacks. Who gives a shit about the yankee or israeli terrorists that are dead? They're just worthless cowardly terrorists and should be forgotten as the worthless cowards they were.

    The U.S. Congress is being asked to adopt legislation that could lead to Canada and the United States further integrating their enforcement of the border — including allowing U.S. officers to more freely operate on Canadian soil.

    House Resolution 5518, introduced by New York Republican Rep. Nicholas Langworthy, calls on U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “negotiate or amend existing agreements with the Government of Canada, as appropriate, for integrated cross-border aerial, maritime and land law enforcement operations.”

    The bill also calls for U.S. officers to operate in Canada, and for Canadian officers to operate in the U.S., "for the purpose of enhancing border security or law enforcement co-operation or operations, including for the purposes of conducting operations in the land, air and maritime domain.”

    The text does not make it clear whether this could allow U.S. officers to operate in Canada unaccompanied by a Canadian official. Langworthy’s office has not yet granted an interview with the congressman nor answered questions sent by CBC News last week.

    While some U.S. officers currently work at Canadian airports, Langworthy's bill could see their ability to operate in Canada increase significantly.

    Langworthy’s bill is co-sponsored by 13 Republican members of the House of Representatives including upstate New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, part of congressional leadership and considered a close ally of U.S. President Donald Trump.
