Another new tidbit we learned from these images is that Google is apparently planning on including a pair of Pixel Buds-esque headphones in the box, but these will be wired.
The images show the front and back of what appears to be the Clearly White variant of the Pixel 3 XL with that fingerprint reader on the back and a single rear camera.
That's because they are hands-on shots of an alleged full production model of the phone and if not genuine, someone has gone to an bad lot of trouble to make them look that way. Now, due to numerous leaks, we have a solid idea of what the device will look like.
The Pixel 3 XL will launch with Android 9 Pie pre-installed, obviously, and will get Google's latest software updates ahead of any other smartphone. They dont show anything unexpected  the Pixel 3 XL has a 1440p+ display (with a notch), is powered by a Snapdragon 845 chipset with 4GB of RAM and runs Android 9 Pie.
It seems the Pixel 3 will have the same problem, according to a bunch of early photos published by Mobiltelefon.ru. First, the notch design of the Pixel 3 XL looks like a mess. For now, the OS is "Android 9", although it would not be surprising to see that change to Android 9.1 in time for release-Google usually cooks up a x.1 release specifically for its phones. However, you can never see too many leaks, and this time they include a short unboxing video. In-box accessories can vary from country to country, so if you are that interested in pack-in Google headphones, make sure they come with the version shipping in your territory.

May speech: Last ditch attempt to improve position before business end of talks begins.
So here we are again. Another Brexit speech from the prime minister, another inch further down the road to nowhere. Her glacial transformation from fairy tale to economic disaster continues. Watching her over the last 18 months has been like seeing a children's animation turn into a bleak kitchen sink drama. She began with gusto and passion, promising that Britain could have all the trade it wanted - "the exact same benefits", to use David Davis' phrase, outside the single market and customs union as inside. Britain would call the shots, because it buys cars. We wouldn't pay any money to Europe and would walk out if they kept insisting on it.
Then slowly the compromises came. The Florence speech saw her repeat, almost word-for-word, Brussel's requirements on the budget, like a hostage reading out a statement written by their kidnapper. That kept talks on the road. This time she was faced with the universal calls for clarity on her position, which now came from three directions - Brussels, the hard Brexiters and the Remainers. A pretty formidable coalition, united at last in their desire to know what the hell was going on.
The choice is simple. If Britain keeps all its control it must give up its trade. But if it wants to keep all its trade, it must lose some control. This is not because Brussels is mean or vengeful. It is because it facilitates open borders on the basis that they are all part of the same legal system, with the same monitoring and enforcement bodies operating amid the same institutions. The UK is leaving those arrangements and consequences follow from that. At the moment, Britain looks like a teenager telling his parents he is leaving the house, but still demanding they drive over and cook his meals.
Rhetorically at least there was some improvement. May said the border in Ireland must stay completely open - a welcome confirmation given Boris Johnson's now stated views to the contrary. She admitted that there would be a loss of access to the single market due to her policies. She accepted that the European Court of Justice (ECJ), which she foolishly made a red line in late 2016, would probably still have a role in British law. Her criticisms of the EU were often fair. She was right to say, for instance, that they should not be demanding the regulatory standards of a Norway deal while offering the benefits of a Canada one. She will have earned some points for signing up to EU rules on state aid - although made the likelihood of a Labour rebellion on the final deal more likely.
And she did bring clarity. It's just that it wasn't on the choice between trade and control. It was clarity on her own fantasy about not having to make the choice.
Yes, she has given up on the idea that you can have your cake and eat it. But she still believes that she can take all the chocolate off the other slices and put it on hers, only for the EU to smile magnanimously and offer her some more helpings.
It is a nonsense. It is not going to happen. May is pedaling furiously now, but it is down a path which everyone has already warned her leads to a dead end.
Her Florence plan was for three baskets. There would be one part of the economy where the UK would harmonise its regulations with the EU. Another part would align, so that it had the same standards but reached them in its own way. And a third part would diverge. Harmonisation was for things like aviation and chemicals, where the UK would seek associate membership of EU agencies. Alignment was for goods, where regulatory standards would remain "substantially" the same in future and checked off by an independent arbiter, with a consequent loss of market access if they decided it was no longer up to scratch. And divergence was for things like agriculture and fisheries, which could go their own way.
To this she added one final basket - "creative solutions". This was for things like financial services, where there was no precedent for what she was trying to achieve. She knows she needs something that looks like harmonisation, but she can't allow the rules to be set outside of UK control for such a major sector. So her solution is to basically throw up her hands and say: 'Help me'.
If you are trying to come up with a half-in-half-out plan, this actually isn't bad. You'd expect this level of detail towards the end of 2016 rather than the start of 2018, but the substance is okay. You can see why No.10 has picked the sectors it has for each basket.
The trouble is that the half-in-half-out plan cannot work. The EU has said it does not work. For her to pursue it now is like spending days thinking about interior design for a building which is due to be demolished. If one country can take all the lovely bits and none of the troublesome bits, then everyone will do the same. European freedoms are based on establishing trust and that trust is earned by entwining yourself in the legal structure of the EU. But May has squandered that trust by spending 18 months berating Remainers, making threats to the EU, talking meaningless twoddle about non-existent options, and allowing her ministers to issue colourful attacks on Brussels' founding principles. She has let them go for over a year with no idea what she wants. Of all the things she has, trust isn't one of them.
The irony is that her three market model isn't actually all that different to the existing EEA agreement enjoyed by Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. After all, they are in EU agencies. They have their own Efta court decide whether they are sticking to the EU regulations, but otherwise they maintain autonomy. They can veto new EU regulations, which has the consequence of extracting them from the relevant part of the EEA agreement, a system which is similar to how May imagined her alignment basket operating. They have areas - again, like May, agriculture and fisheries - where they have nothing to do with the EU.
But this is based on an arrangement where countries want to work together to find solutions. It is one where they accept all the responsibilities of the EU - including, yes, free movement - as a way of getting all the freedoms. Far from butting heads, the Efta court and the ECJ have increasingly begun taking each others' judgements as precedents, in a much more egalitarian relationship than any British political analyst would have predicted. None of the countries involved have ever triggered that veto. Why? It's partly because they don't want to lose access to the market. But it's also because these countries operate collegiately as part of a shared initiative. They are not stuck in the mire of emotional identity politics and reactionary nationalism, in which cooperation with other countries is seen principally through the prism of 19th Century naval warfare. Basically, they have not gone mad.
Britain basically has gone mad and in its spasm of anti-social behaviour it has settled on a plan which gives it everything it wants and none of the things it does not want. That is as far away from the pragmatic and workmanlike solutions of the EEA agreement as you're likely to get.
The EU response, which is not unfair given the circumstances, is that, well - Brexit means Brexit. If you don't want the rights and responsibilities then you're looking at an old-school goods-only trade deal, like Canada's. Probably they will find one single, solitary plus to stick on the end - some kind of moderate compromise on financial services, which manages to ease the concerns of several member states about access to London and offer May something to sell back home. It'll be devastating and self-harming to sabotage Britain's trading prospects with such a deal, but that is the direction of travel.
Today's speech was probably the last chance to change course, no matter how unlikely that was to happen. The fact she chose not to suggests that is now our final destination. It is not a good one. The next months will be very rough.

NYUNZU, Democratic Republic of Congo — Deep in the forest, miles from any major city, lies an abandoned cotton factory full of the dispossessed.
“It’s like we don’t exist,” said Kalunga Etienne, a Bambote elder.
This is what the Democratic Republic of Congo, the biggest country in sub-Saharan Africa and one that has stymied just about all efforts to right it, has become: a tangle of miniwars.
More than 60 armed groups are operating in North Kivu and South Kivu Provinces, including a growing Islamist insurgency, whose fighters have hacked hundreds of people to death. Beyond that, there are remnants in the Uele area of the Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel group that specializes in abducting children and turning them into killers; predatory rebels in Ituri; Bakata separatists in Katanga; armed factions in Maniema; fighters in the Nyunzu area; and youth militias in the capital, Kinshasa.
Few nations in Africa, if not the world, are home to as many armed groups. Even after billions of dollars in aid, one of the largest peacekeeping missions in United Nations history and substantial international attention over two decades, Congo’s government is incapable of providing the most elemental service: security.
In the coming months, Congo’s president, Joseph Kabila, is constitutionally required to step down. But he has shown no intention of doing so.
Mr. Kabila is vastly unpopular, partly because of the miniwars, but also because of the widespread belief that he has enriched himself and his family while ignoring the millions of desperately poor Congolese. There have been deadly protests against his attempts to sidestep term limits and extend his rule. Raucous demonstrations erupted on April 20 in Lubumbashi, one of Congo’s biggest cities.
Though Mr. Kabila’s forces scored an important victory against one large rebel group, the M23, in 2013, many other armed groups have splintered into dangerous pieces. And new ones have recently sprung up, like the militias in the Nyunzu area that have killed hundreds.
There are many reasons for this, but the most widely cited are a pattern of impunity and increased local tensions over land and other resources. Other factors may be the government’s poor record of integrating former rebels into the national army and its failure to establish control in areas where larger rebel groups used to operate, which has created opportunities for new armed factions to take over.
The worry is that the growing number of local conflicts will only intensify if there is an election-related crisis, which most analysts believe could happen.
“With that electoral gamble ahead, we may see lots of things both in the Kivus and elsewhere,” said Christoph Vogel, a researcher at the University of Zurich who specializes in Congo.
Nyunzu, a territory in the southeast, a bone-crushing day’s drive from Lake Tanganyika, used to be safe. Many of the people who live here are members of the Bambote, one of several forest-dwelling hunter-gatherer groups in Congo widely known as pygmies for their short stature. The term pygmy is often used in Congo and in other parts of Africa, although the forest dwellers tend to refer to themselves by the names of their groups.
“This is our first war,” Lumbu Baruani, a Bambote elder, said with a sad shake of his head. If it were up to him, he said, he would be in the forest, hunting antelope or catching grasshoppers for a snack.
According to several analysts, it says a lot about Congo’s state of affairs when a local war draws in members of a traditional hunter-gatherer group.
The war started, the Bambote say, in 2014. What set it off was an extramarital affair.
The elders in Nyunzu said a man from another ethnic group, the Luba, had impregnated a Bambote woman. This caused a scandal, not least because the woman was married, and inflamed tensions between the groups.
For generations, some men from the Luba group have chosen brides from communities such as the Bambote. Many elders complained that Luba men had not shown enough respect to the women’s parents.
Scientists believe that the few remaining hunter-gatherers living in Central Africa’s vast rain forest were its original inhabitants. Their adherence to tradition has kept them far behind other groups in education and wealth. At the same time, they have maintained an unusual degree of harmony among themselves and with their environment.
When the Bambote elders confronted the Luba adulterer, he did not apologize. Instead, the elders said, he killed the woman’s husband, setting off a wave of killings between the two communities.
Deeper problems were clearly driving the feud. Analysts point to long-simmering conflicts between the Bambote and the Luba over issues like land rights and labor practices. The local authorities in Nyunzu said it had been customary for the forest dwellers to work for the Luba as field hands for as little as 50 cents a day. Sometimes, they were even paid in salt or cassava scraps.
For the first time anyone could remember, the Bambote banded together in militias and began attacking Luba villages with torches and poisoned arrows. The Luba fought back.
A wave of anger and violence rippled across the green hills. This area is spectacularly beautiful, the Congo often imagined by outsiders — sharp hills, surging rivers, towering forests and lush paths that snake off the road into other worlds.
But soon it was a gruesome killing field.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of homes were burned. So were many schools. People fled in all directions.
Few, if any, guns were used — axes and arrows were the weapons on hand — but the government presence here is light to nonexistent. Hundreds were killed before the army arrived to intervene — which happens often in Congo.
The violence eventually cooled with the help of local officials, showing that even if Congo’s government is somewhat dysfunctional, it is better than nothing.
But thousands of people remain displaced. It is hard to imagine a more fitting symbol for this country than a cavernous abandoned cotton factory, built decades ago when there was working infrastructure, now full of seized-up machinery and hopeless people who have no other place to hide.

For Achim it was already his third week on Regina Laska in 2017, but as the first two ones were a Yachtmaster prep course it was the first real holiday sailing week also for him. For me, it was the first time on Regina Laska.
My husband Achim while sailing in Scotland on Regina Laska with me.
Thinking back of our previous time in Scotland many years ago, we were looking forward to a great week in sunny Scotland. Well, the weather was not like that this time, unfortunately. Even for a Scottish summer it was pretty cold and rainy.
Usually, lows are moving fast but this one was extremely slow and stayed with us most of the time. Obviously, it liked us. However, weather is completely overrated. What matters instead, are the people and the boat and guess what…?! It was a fantastic week onboard Regina Laska!!!
It started with meeting our fellow crew Irene and Per, a Norwegian couple. They were funny with a great sense of humour, very laid back and with a lot of previous sailing experience to say the least! It was a perfect match for our week’s sailing in safety, comfort and style.
I know that “safety, comfort and style” is what Leon says about sailing on Regina Laska and I was really eager to experience what this could mean in practice.
Achim and myself in Tobermory, our first port of call.
And so we did: Leon creates a warm (heating ran 24/7) and cosy atmosphere so that it is easy to feel at home onboard Regina Laska. He provides a perfect mix of hospitality and caring for his guests. Cooking delicious meals and knowing very good restaurants and pubs is an important part of it.
Great seafood at Café Fish in Tobermory!
Good meals and drinks inspire the conversation and therefore we had very entertaining evenings in four languages: Norwegian, Swedish, German and English. The highlight was a film about Per and Irene’s trip to the Lofoten and Spitzbergen with their own Hallberg-Rassy.
Enjoying our company in Regina Laska’s cozy salon!
The heavier weather in Scotland provided for a lot of interesting sailing experience. We tested Regina Laska’s cutterstay sail, we enjoyed the strong winds and the high waves.
Three reefs in the main and the cutter stay sail.
We also talked about almost every piece of equipment you can have on a sailing boat. Per and Irene had just finished their own refit of their newly bought Hallberg-Rassy 42F. Combined with Leon’s enormous knowledge gave food for very interesting discussions for our own refit plans of our Hallberg-Rassy 43 we keep in Warnemünde, Germany.
Achim and Irene planning our Scotland cruise.
As part of our tidal experience we anchored in Loch Moidart which was just about deep enough for us to go in there at the time in question (enough tidal water above the threshold). We used all devices available and in particular the detailed ANTARES charts Leon had on his mobile phone encouraged us to go in.
Sailing over the charted depth of 0.4m into the castle in Loch Moidart.
We did it without hitting the ground thanks to correct tidal calculations! Anchored next the the castle in Loch Moidart.
This was the evening for the steam sauna! First Irene and Per and then we followed. Per was brave enough to dive into the cold water of the Scottish Loch Moidart.
Finding our way to Talisker on the island of Skye.
Scotland and Whisky makes a pair and so we sailed to the Isle of Skye and to the remote place of the Talisker distillery. We enjoyed the extraordinary landscape, the amazing greens with white dots on them (which turned out to be sheep). Talisker is a small village mainly consisting of the distillery and a pub serving the same. No harbour, just a pontoon. It is in the middle of nowhere but to our great surprise the pub was overcrowded with happy people and we were lucky to get a table.
Tasty food and good drinks were served, later live music was performed. This was the evening for traditional Scottish food.
Leon and Irene were up to Haggis and most of us tasted a special edition of Talisker whiskey.
However, we did not need to visit a distillery itself because Leon had so many different sorts of whisky onboard already, which I enjoyed a lot.
Leon organising a whisky tasting onboard. A lot of food for discussion – One does not only talk about boats, cruising grounds and equipment when sailing on Regina Laska!
I really enjoy whisky to start with. Bot on a boat at anchor in the Scottish Hebrides is the true spot to enjoy it, for sure!
From Skye we continued south, sailing in stormy weather and made it to Tinker’s Hole just south of Iona. This was yet another beautiful place where we anchored; just Regina Laska and us.
The next and final day the weather was calm and we could visited the island of Iona. Iona is one of many, many Scottish islands dominated by an Abbey and a Nunnery and is known as the „Cradle of Christianity“ in Scotland.
On Iona: Per figuring out where to tie up the dinghy so it is neither dangling in the painter or the onshore knot of the painter is under water when we come back and the tide has gone out or come in.
Overall, we had a wonderful week with great people, beautiful nature, impressive culture, challenging weather, perfect sailing with Regina Laska and Leon as the boat’s heart and soul.
We have enjoyed the week thoroughly and we liked it so much that we immediately decided to come back in 2018 – next time even crossing the North Sea from Shetland to Norway…!
Our last waving good-bye from the ferry taking us from Oban Marina on the island of Kerrera back to the mainland and home to Germany.
Thank you, Leon, and looking forward to the next leg in 2018!

Expedia inherited some minority investments in travel startups from HomeAway and Trivago, and made a few of its own in 2015. Look for Expedia to spread its money around in 2016, making additional minority investments, as well as a big acquisition or two.
Expedia Inc. made a slew of blockbuster acquisitions in 2015, ranging from shelling out $3.6 billion for HomeAway to $280 million for Travelocity, but there hasn’t been much visibility into some of its smaller investment activities until now.
In an exhibit that was part of its annual report, filed with the Security and Exchange Commission February 11, Expedia revealed that in 2015 it took a 30.54 percent stake in the hotel management Alice App (officially known as Fivepals), 14.9 percent in the airport ride-sharing app Wingz (Tickengo), and a 16.36 percent piece of the Latin American online travel agency Decolar.com, which also operates Despegar.com.
Previously we knew that Expedia led a $9.5 million Series A round for the AliceApp but Expedia’s 30.54 percent wasn’t revealed at the time. We knew that Expedia led an $11 million Series B for Wingz but Expedia’s 14.9 percent stake hadn’t been disclosed.
When Expedia deepened its 13-year-old relationship with Decolar in March 2015, the companies revealed that Expedia made a $270 million minority investment but now we learn that it amounted to a 16.36 percent piece of Decolar.
In addition to the 2015 investments in Alice, Wingz and Decolar, some of the more recent investments include 2014 investments in Checkmate/Room 77 (6.1 percent) and Gogobot (15 percent). Expedia’s Gogobot investment is actually a byproduct of Expedia’s acquisition of HomeAway; the vacation rental site led a $20 million Series C round for Gogobot.
Expedia’s other investments range from a 49.9 percent stake in a joint venture dating to 2001 with the rail line SNCF in French online travel agency L’Agence Voyages-SNCF.com to a 15.8 percent piece of Sydney, Australia travel agency CT Partners Pty.
Several of the investments are actually owned by Trivago, of which Expedia wields a 63 percent stake.
In the wonky world of corporate names, Expedia does not list Travelocity, of which Expedia owns 100 percent, as a subsidiary; Travelocity is listed under its official name, Travelscape.

The last LED chip that I’m going to discuss is what we’re seeing in the latest, best and brightest LED headlight light bulbs on the marketplace.
It’s from the Philips Lumis LEDs LUXEON collection of LED chips, which called the ZES can be found in different color as well as sizes.
What we’re seeing usage most is the 16mm as well as 20mm which dictates the size of the LED. An usual LED size that you’ll see in vehicle interior and also directional signal lights. Sort of an older design is the 5050 that means five millimeters by five millimeters square.
And then Samsung brought out a 3528, three as well as a half millimeters by 2.8 millimeters, and that was a preferred bulb for some people’s LED light bulbs for turn indicator.
Currently we’re seeing the 1620s from Philips and they’re absolutely unbelievable.
The factor that they’re so various therefore better than whatever that we have actually ever before seen prior to is they’re so small so that they can produce a light source beam pattern that virtually entirely resembles the form positioning and also size of the halogen filament bulb inside the housing.
You have any type of concept just how crucial that is? The factor that generally LED front lights bulbs have been waste in a headlight housing is due to the fact that the filament requires to be in a details place inside the headlight.
And also when you put in an LED with a great big chip onboard, or 360 levels style LED array, or one large LED on each side, it doesn’t make the very same kind of source of light as the initial incandescent filament does.
Now with the Philips Lumis best h7 led bulb, we’re getting closer to that. When we’re checking such as this one the G7 H4 LED headlight, we’re getting really incredible outcomes. Due to the fact that it most properly simulates the positioning of the filament inside the housing. And then when you look at the dual beam variations, you have the leading filament in the bottom filament as well as they’re featuring a reflector cup. And also this is producing suitable light beam patterns and they’re very bright. You have various other ones that are a comparable style, bulkier, less large.
Currently sometimes you will certainly be mis-leaded into purchasing a product that has the primary brand on it. And also this prevails out of China. So you really have to purchase from a reliable source to recognize that what you’re getting for a 1620 LED is really a Philips or a Samsung bulb. This is a brand-new version of a standard light bulb and simply by transforming the LED from a single SMD to multi 1620 LEDs. It drastically enhanced the beam pattern as well as light output. As well as interest goes on and on, everyone’s beginning to use this style because of just how much far better it is. In regards to a beam pattern on the wall, the ones that we have actually seen execute the best have some kind of a reflector dish around them.

What is your story and how will you tell it?
Our Rec Track students may be new to the vocabulary of the stage but their hearts have always been ignited by creativity. If your young performer has a story to tell, there is a spot on our stage for them. We welcome all levels of experience in our Rec Track productions. All RPA classes participate in fully staged productions in January and June. Wake up the body, warm up the vocal chords and Free the imagination!
Young performers, excited to take the spotlight, will shine in our foundational Acting I classes. Actor warmups, Theatre games and vocal technique bring our ensemble together as we make our way to the stage. Acting I students are the stars of their own productions in January and June. Students will learn stage directions, rehearsal etiquette, and what it means to create a character for the stage.
Are you a budding performer with a more flexible school schedule? We welcome performers of all levels of experience to take a place in our Rec productions in January and June. Homeschool actors are assigned characters and work on the basic tenets of performance including stage presence, vocal work and character development. We find that this is an excellent class for homeschool students who are looking to develop a skill set in the Fine Arts world.
One of the most exciting performing arts around, Musical Theatre is unique in the way that it tells a story through the combination of dance, music, and theatre. Students in this program are always developing in multiple art forms and, in doing so, create new avenues for growth and artistic exploration.
Musical Theatre is the pursuit of becoming a “triple-threat-performer” – that is, a performer that is well versed in music, dance, and acting. Students learn skills in performance, dance, music theory, vocal technique and application through control. Awareness of body, voice, and mind is a key component to the work. It is the perfect program for students who enjoy all aspects of theatre and strive to become versatile performing artists. Rec level Musical Theatre students will be part of the Recreational performances in January and June at The Washington State School for the Blind.
Musical Theatre classes are currently offered in a recreational and focus track. Both recreational and focus tracks are offered for ages 7-9 and for 10+. The focus track takes the skills learned in Recreational Musical Theater and develops them to a deeper understanding. More advanced choreography, vocal lines, and character development is explored in the focus track. Students must have taken Recreational Musical Theater and must have the approval of the teacher through an audition process or in class observations.
An Introduction to Improvisation gives a performing student the chance to develop the time honored tradition of saying “Yes! And…” Building an Ensemble is key as students work together to create characters and new worlds. By supporting one another, they unlock the power of their imaginations. These young performers are trained to be quick on their feet and empower their voices in new ways.
While they are not part of the Mainstage show, Improv students combine with the Acting III class for a final performance/showcase for friends and family at the end of each session.

I’m from Wayne City, IL and I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 1997.
What’s your favorite part of living in LA?
It’s diverse in every way: the people, the food, the neighborhoods, the culture. There’s hiking right in the middle of the city and then, of course, the ocean. There’s a quality of life here that’s difficult to find in a city.
I listen to Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast. For music, anything indie: Toro Y Moi, Brazilian Girls, Little Dragon.
Everything I do is very deliberate. There’s not really any chance involved.
It’s most difficult to for me to be objective about the final product.
Are there any strategies you’ve adapted to be more objective when looking at your finished work?
Nothing that’s worked, but I’m open to suggestions.
Yes, I have a little pool of artists friends. I’m currently working on art for the Proper Hotel in downtown LA that Kelly Wearstler is designing and quite enjoyed collaborating with Kelly’s team on a few of the details.
Geometric shapes are central to my work. My triptychs also reflect different aspects of myself - I’m very neat and I like order, and so you see these razor-sharp, hard-edged lines and while they’re quite clean and also simple, there’s a boldness to them as well.
I’ve been focused on the geometric triptychs for almost two years now.
Why do you think the triptych has become your preferred format?
I was drawn to the multi-panel approach initially because it allows me to take simple shapes and create something more dynamic. The correlation from panel to panel allows simple shapes to unite, resulting in something much more dynamic and eye-catching.
Your works have a repeated vocabulary or cadence of compositions - where did these come from?
It starts with lines of things I see in everyday life - in architecture, on billboards, the way power lines cross, literally anything - will jump out at me and I’ll sketch it or take a photo and work it into a larger composition later that may or may not become a part of my work, but that’s the process.
Everywhere. I see shapes in everything. It’s constant.
I’m starting to experiment with geometric-shaped canvases and sculpture. This is where my work will go by year’s end.

Bestway Power Steel™ Frame Pools use strong, corrosion-resistant steel frames to hold a heavy-duty, PVC and polyester 3-ply wall in place. The C Connectors ensure the frame remains sturdy throughout use and the mosaic print liner means it will look great too. They’re great outdoor swimming pools for families and garden spaces of all sizes and they’re designed to last a long time. Bestway pool designs range from gigantic, rectangular swimming pools measuring up to 32ft to smaller Splash Frame Pools for little ones.
The pool liner of this Power Steel™ Frame pool is composed of Bestway's trademarked TriTech™ material providing superior strength and durability. This premium grade above ground pool material can withstand extreme conditions including exposure to ultraviolet rays and chlorine, plus it is stress-tested against the weight and strain of large volumes of water. This model also comes with the 'Chemconnect' system, which is a built in chemical dispenser to help maintain the chemical balance of your pool easily.
There are no tools needed to build your pool and it's easy and quick to assemble and to take down at the end of the season to store away for next year. Bestway include a flow control drain valve for easy drainage and all pools over 33" deep come with a ladder to climb in and out the water safely. Some pools in the range also come with a filter pump and range of accessories.
13ft 6" x 6ft 7"
Replacement Filter Cartridges for your filter pump. If you buy these at the same time as your pool not only do you benefit from a reduced price but you can also choose the quantity you wish to buy from packs of 2, 6 or 12. If you buy these separately you can only buy at full price and in packs of 12. Bestway recommend you should change your filter cartridges every 2-3 weeks. To ensure your pool is completely cared for it's a good idea to buy a maintenance or cleaning kit and/ or pool vacuum. We have a wide range of cleaning accessories for you to choose from.
To ensure you kill those bugs in your pool water use some swimming pool chemicals. If you buy the Starter Kit from the dropdown menu above you'll get everything you need for the whole season at a discounted price. If you don't like the idea of adding chemicals to your pool water you can purchase a Bestway Chlorinator which will produce natural chlorine and keep your water sparkling and healthy. You'll need to buy salt to make the system work, take a look at the Salt Table on the salt product page to work out how much you will need for the water capacity of your pool.
A Debris Cover will keep out dirt, leaves and insects as well as help keep in any warmth that has been built up during the day. These are available for Fast Set and Metal Frame pools. For spare parts, repair kits etc take a look at our Pool Accessories section to see if we can help.
A Ground Cloth will protect the bottom of your pool from puncture risk. The Ground Cloth is suitable for use with any above ground swimming pool. All pools over 33" deep come with a ladder but if you have small children you might want to buy a ladder to go with your pool even if it is 33" or below.
Buy a Solar Cover and channel the sun's heat into your swimming pool. Suitable for use with any above ground pool and can be cut to size if we don't have the exact size to match your pool. Also helps keep leaves etc out of the water. NB there should be a gap between the edge of the solar cover and the edge of pool to allow it to float freely just below the water line. Take the effort out of cleaning your pool and choose one of the Bestway Automatic Pool Cleaners. These cleaners work with your filter pump to to reduce the burden of maintenance and leave you more time for fun in the sun.
To extend the period of use of your pool why not buy a pool heater? Ensure your heater will work with your pump capacity and that you buy a heater that is suitable for the water capacity in your pool. For a high performance heater you should invest in an Elecro Heater. Anything over 3kw will need to be wired into the mains by an electrician but it's worth it to be able to enjoy your pool for so much longer. These heaters will heat all sizes of pools, even the huge ones!

Enjoyed this one very much, ignore the troll hype about it.
The movie is more of a relaxed pace, but the story telling was good.
Brie Larson plays a great hero.
Plenty of good action, great chemistry between Larson and Samuel L Jackson.
The flerken. Enough said. I am pleased... .that rocked. Awaiting the Endgame!
And so is everyone else. Awaiting the Endgame.
I meant to see Captain Marvel last weekend, but, it wasn't feeling that well, so I'm going to make an effort to see it this weekend. Till then, here are some figures for everyone to enjoy.
05th largest foreign boxoffice at $302 million. With it yet to open in Japan.
Expected box office total of $800 million.
In comparison . . .
How to Train Your Dragon just falls short of $100 million with a 3rd week boxoffice of $14.7 million or a decline of 51% from the previous week.
Next 3 films combined had a domestic boxoffice of $19.1 million.
There will be a sequel.
Gonna likely see this this upcoming weekend. I'm excited to see it.
Everything worked for me, and the teaser during the credits is definitely worth the wait.
I enjoyed it. Although, I don't think the story is as friendly to the average (non-comic book loving) movie-goer as some of the other Marvel movies. For example, IRON MAN and CAPTAIN AMERICA's origins are easy to understand because the movies cover them in very straightforward narratives. CAPTAIN MARVEL's origin is told in a surreal manner that switches back and forth between locations, characters and bits and pieces of memories in a cloudy, dreamlike way. I think people who aren't familiar with the whole Kree-Skrull thing may find the first 45 minutes of the movie confusing.
One reason not to see it.
1. And I won't say why, because it may give away too much to those who have not seen it.
And a baker's dozen reasons to see it.
1. The Stan Lee montage at the start of the film.
Lord, I never knew how much I am going to miss that old man.
If not his last, then one of his last.
The doctor and the actress having the same surname.
Talk has it, that she is going to get her own superhero film.
5. The President Trump smackdown.
God bless 'em. They are finally nearing parity with men among most aspects of filmmaking. Note the credits.
8. The scene after the credits.
Or, why one always stays to it is truly over.
9. They no longer exist in the number they once did.
b. Barnaum's animal crackers box.
I knew the joke. What I did not know was how funny it'd be.
(IMHO) one Samuel L. Jackson's best performances. Supporting Actor Oscar nomination?
The pen floating in space.
13. And one for next time.
And a final reason to see it. It's another one in the American cultural wars.
Whereas, other countries have their "wars," sometimes erupting into "real wars," most of which are confined to the political arena. Only the U.S. engages in "cultural warfare," or, at least to the intensity with which we do.
It is hard to know when the "war" 1st broke out, but, most who have studied the issue date it back to 2016 and the remake of the 1984 Ghostbusters. Since that time the "war" has engulfed such films as Wonder Woman and Black Panther.
"Good!" "Bad!" Those are opinions and (IMHO) can be argued, but, the box office figures, those are fact and thus unarguable, but, there are some who would argue even the meaning of those. Thus, they remind me of the ancient Greek warriors would rather died defending their position than retreat and/or surrender, so they live to fight another day.
They also remind me of the days in the old American West, where, if you wanted to get back at someone, then you poisoned the local water hole, so the water was undrinkable. Of course, that would make it undrinkable for you, too. I find some parts of the internet like that. The discussions have become so poisonous, that I find them unreadable.
Not here. Not here. While we may disagree, the disagreements seldom become poisonous and unreadable, and for that I congratulate all who post here.
The next film in the American culture wars, there is talk that the Asian superhero Shang-Chi may be getting his own film. That appears to be one step nearer with a director being assigned to direct.
As for how much Captain Marvel has made, for some reason, I can't get the exact figures, but I do know that it is still sucking up all the money at the boxoffice. In its 2nd week in release it made 50% more at the box office, than the next 4 films combined and 400% more than the next highest grossing film--Wonderland Park--at the box office.
Not only here, but--perhaps--more surprising how well it is doing internationally. When it opened in the U.K., 67% of the box office revenue went to Captain America. With Fighting with My Family in 2nd place and the latest Lego movie in 3rd place.
Next film: probably Tim Burton's Dumbo, where there is talk of it being one of the surprise hits of the year. What surprises me is how Michael Keaton's film career has evolved, from playing the titular hero or anti-hero to playing the villain. 1st in Spider-man : Homecoming than--apparently--here.
And we will see what we shall see.

Same exact problem here. Also happens when trying to update various other things. The server control panel has been giving this for over 36 hours now for me. I also had the issue of the server (still less than a day old) suddenly crashing repeatedly. Deleted the world and files to start fresh, and it still was crashing repeatedly. I submitted a ticket on the entire issue. It was submitted approximately 24 hours ago. Still no response of any sort yet. Come on GGS, get your business handled properly.
I have the same issue and have been for 3 and a half days.

Born on October 11, 1951 .
Passed away on March 24, 2015 .
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Judi Shaw 63 years old , born on October 11, 1951 and passed away on March 24, 2015. We will remember her forever.
Miss Judi was an inspiration to so many. I can only describe her ways with children as magical! Children were drawn to her and she loved them so very much. She was a true gift and will be greatly missed by many. I pray that her loving nature and legacy live on forever and that we can all learn to be more like her.
My mommy was my rock. I love her so much. I miss her more than words can say.

Not simply of noodles mixed with tomato sauce and minced beef sauce, Italian pasta types as variations of the same material as the cream sauce, cheese, meats, and seafood. To get a plate of pasta right the first point you need to get it is a squeezed long spaghetti and aromatic. The key point is not in any type of pasta would also get. It depends on the type of wheat flour, water and how to create a perfect bread grater. It comes to sauces then this depends on the chef, with hundreds of different combinations of ingredients. A dish with a combination of tough spaghetti sauce taste with aroma will make you passionate and always wanted to explore and enjoy the flavors of this dish. Whether you are not adherents of European cuisine but try to experience through once with two special dishes will definitely not make you disappointed.
Spaghetti is a type of pasta (also known as pasta) form small round yarn, made from a type of semolina flour and water.

Have you gone by our new location lately? Things are starting to happen quickly at 3926 Harrison. Walls, steel for the roof, wiring, and all sorts of things are starting to happen. Now that the building is physical and we can see it going up I thought it would be a good time to review some of the details. This update will primarily be a review from the Beyond Booklets we passed out last fall.
The timeline for construction still puts us in a building late this year or early next year. However, it is close. Fairly soon the outside of the building will be mostly done! The internal work will be an endeavor as there are many little pieces that will go into our building. Once a launch day is chosen though you will know – trust us we are pretty excited to get into the building!
What is the budget again?
The total projected budget for the building is $3.2 million. During our Beyond Campaign (listen to the sermon series here), we sought to raise $2.5 million that would cover our operating expenses, current ministries, giving to our mission partners, and put $1 million towards the $3 million cost of the building. Before starting the campaign we already had $1 million saved toward the building, so with the pledges and the previous amount collected the hope is to only owe $1.1 million dollars at the end of 2019. Pastor Chris shared in the 2nd Quarter Financial Update were we were at in this (Read his update here). The pledges that were taken during the Beyond Campaign go through December 2019 and we are excited and praying for God to meet and exceed the amounts pledged.
How big is the building again?
The land is 7.65 acres and the building itself is 13,000 square feet. In the building is a 300-seat auditorium, four classrooms, a multi-purpose room, lobby, mothers room, office space, and yes bathrooms.
Is the front really red and yellow?
No, it is not going to be red and yellow at the entrance. We hope to do some form of accent there, but that will be determined in the next few months.
If you’re new around LifePoint, this is a great season to join us on the mission of Jesus. Your joyful and sacrificial generosity will make a real impact in our church, in Quincy, and around the world! I know some of you might feel like you missed the bus if you were not here at the launch of this campaign. This is not the case it is not too late to get involved. LifePoint seeks to be a place for you to grow in your relationship with God. As someone who attends LifePoint, you help us on that mission. As we prepare for our new space help us prepare by attending each week, praying for your church, get involved in the different ministries, start volunteering, and consider giving to LifePoint.

Crowton has also served as offensive coordinator at the University of Maryland, offensive coordinator at the University of Oregon, head coach at Brigham Young University, offensive coordinator for the NFL's Chicago Bears, head coach at Louisiana Tech, and offensive coordinator at Louisiana State University, which won a national championship in 2008. While at Oregon, Crowton was a 2005 finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top college football assistant coach. Crowton is most known for his aggressive offensive style, such as the "razzle dazzle" offensive scheme utilized in Chicago (as brought to the limelight by then Kansas City Chiefs head coach Gunther Cunningham). He was nicknamed "The Wizard" by the LSU players, after completing 39 games with an accomplishment of at least 30 points within 25 games and a 25–10 overall mark.
Crowton graduated from Orem High School in 1975 and went on to earn a B.S. in physical education from Brigham Young University in 1983.
He and his wife, Maren, have four daughters and three sons. Crowton made an appearance in the Mormon pop culture film The R.M..

Industrial Ind. Exch. v. Industrial Acc. Com.
INDUSTRIAL INDEMNITY EXCHANGE (an Interinsurance Exchange), Petitioner, v. INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT COMMISSION, JOHN CAMPELLONE et al., Respondents.
Herlihy & Herlihy for Petitioner.
Everett A. Corten, R. C. McKellips and Fred G. Goldsworthy for Respondent.
Respondent Industrial Accident Commission made an award of compensation in favor of John Campellone against petitioner, the workmen's compensation insurance carrier for J. S. Metzger & Son, Inc., and against the Gagnon Co., Inc., jointly and severally. The award followed findings by the commission that Campellone sustained personal injuries [26 Cal. 2d 133] arising out of and occurring in the course of his employment as a truck driver by the Gagnon Company, as general employer, and by Metzger & Son, as special employer, and that the Gagnon Company was uninsured while Metzger & Son was insured by petitioner on the date of said injuries. By this proceeding, petitioner seeks to annul the award against it. No question is here raised, however, as to the validity of the award against the Gagnon Company.
The principal attack on the award raises the question whether there was substantial evidence to support the findings that Campellone was employed by Metzger & Son as a special employer, and that he received his injuries in the course of such employment.
Metzger & Son was the general contractor on a construction job at Indio, California, and arranged with John A. Fox, a truck broker, to supervise the hauling or the operation of trucks in connection with the work. Fox was at the same time supplying trucks or supervising their operations on two other construction jobs in the vicinity. The Gagnon Company, learning from Fox that hauling work was available in the vicinity of Palm Springs, acquired a truck and hired Campellone to drive it and to keep it in repair.
On or about November 25, 1942, Campellone drove the truck to Palm Springs, having been instructed by the Gagnon Company to "see Fox to find out where the truck was to work." Campellone, upon being informed by Fox that there were three jobs available, chose to use the truck in connection with the Metzger job. Fox advised him that the truck would be used to haul concrete aggregate from a crusher at Whitewater to the Bell and Whittier Ranches, and directed him to Whitewater with instructions to "see somebody there." The following day, the Gagnon Company was informed by Fox that it would be paid directly by Metzger & Son, and that credit arrangements would be made for gas and oil. Fox agreed to "watch the operation of the truck" for the Gagnon Company.
Campellone commenced work on November 26, 1942, and continued working until he was injured on November 29th. Little supervision was exercised over the men at work. The trucks would pull under a steam shovel, receive their loads, pull out to a scale where weight tickets were made out, and proceed to their destinations where the weight tickets were signed and the loads dumped. Campellone testified that he [26 Cal. 2d 134] merely followed the other trucks; that he never received specific instructions from Metzger & Son either to start or stop loading; that an employee of the latter did instruct him where to dump loads; and that on one occasion an employee of Metzger & Son told him they had enough sand and did not want any more at the time, that they needed crushed rock, and that such rock was available at Cabazon. Fox testified that he directed Campellone to Whitewater on the instructions of Metzger & Son; that the latter's superintendent told him to direct the trucks where to load and unload, and that he gave those instructions to Campellone; that at various times the superintendent personally gave similar instructions to Campellone and to the truck drivers in general; and that among such instructions was the direction to load at Cabazon when the drivers had previously been directed to load elsewhere. Campellone was paid by the Gagnon Company and the Gagnon Company was paid by Metzger & Son after the latter deducted amounts for gas and oil.
On November 29th, the Gagnon Company's truck was damaged while hand was being unloaded at the Whittier Ranch. The driver, Campellone, headed back to Cabazon for another load and decided to repair the truck to prevent sand from spilling. He was injured while making the necessary repairs on a public highway.
Petitioner argues that the Gagnon Company occupied toward Metzger & Son the relation of an independent contractor, and that therefore the relationship between Metzger & Son and Campellone was that of a general contractor and the employee of an independent subcontractor. On the other hand, respondent contends the evidence discloses that Metzger & Son had the right to control the activities of the injured workman, and that it accordingly supports the finding that a special employment relationship existed between the parties.
 In the present case the evidence does not disclose an express agreement either affirming or denying the right of the claimed special employer to control the manner and method in which the work was performed by the injured workman. The existence or nonexistence of the right must, therefore, be determined by reasonable inferences drawn from the circumstances shown. (Riskin v. Industrial Acc. Com. 23 Cal. 2d 248 [144 P.2d 16]; Guarantee Ins. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 22 Cal. 2d 516 [139 P.2d 905].) [5a] The respondent commission could reasonably infer from the evidence before it that Metzger & Son at least shared the right to control and direct the manner in which the work was to be done. The Gagnon Company had not previously engaged in the trucking business, and Campellone was not one of its regular employees. It did not know, and apparently did not care, for whom the work would be performed or where the performance would take place. The Gagnon Company gave no instructions to the injured employee other than to report to Fox; no one was present at the time and place of performance to direct Campellone other than the representatives of Metzger & Son, including Fox, who the commission justifiably found acted as an agent [26 Cal. 2d 136] for Metzger & Son. From the evidence it could be inferred that the Gagnon Company intended Metzger & Son to share in the control of its employee. The fact that Metzger & Son had control of the premises upon which the work was to be performed, that such work was part of a larger undertaking under its control, that its contract with the Gagnon Company did not contain detailed provisions as to the work to be performed, that it was present at the time and place of performance, and that it actually directed some of the activities of the injured workman, supports the inference that it contemplated directing the manner in which the work was to be done.
Petitioner next contends that Campellone's injury did not occur in the course of his special employment by Metzger & Son. It argues that the service being performed at the time of injury, namely the repair of the truck, did not benefit Metzger & Son; and that since the Gagnon Company expressly engaged Campellone to keep the truck in repair, it alone had the right of direction and control at the time of injury. It further argues that there has been no showing that Campellone suffered injury as the result of the direction and control of Metzger & Son, and that such a showing is necessary to establish a right to compensation against a special employer.
 Whether an employee's injury occurred in the course of his employment is a question of fact to be determined in light of the circumstances of the particular case. (San Bernardino County v. Industrial Acc. Com., 217 Cal. 618 [20 P.2d 673]; Griffin v. Industrial Acc. Com., 19 Cal. App. 2d 727 [66 P.2d 716].) It is generally said that "an employee is in the [26 Cal. 2d 137] 'course of his employment' when he does those reasonable things which his contract with his employer expressly or impliedly permits him to do." (Hartford A. & I. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 202 Cal. 688, 691 [262 P. 309, 58 A.L.R. 1392]; State Comp. Ins. Fund v. Industrial Acc. Com., 194 Cal. 28, 33 [227 P. 168].)  In view of the policy of liberal construction in favor of the employee, any reasonable doubt as to whether the act performed at the time of injury was contemplated by the employment should be resolved in favor of the employee. (Matthews v. Naylor, 42 Cal. App. 2d 729 [109 P.2d 978]; Employer's etc. Corp. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 37 Cal. App. 2d 567 [99 P.2d 1089].)  The employee in the present case was, at the time of injury, engaged in repairing a truck used in the course of his special employment. The repairs undertaken were occasioned by an accident in the course of such employment and were such as would facilitate the performance of the employee's services therein. Since the repairs were being made after Campellone had delivered a load of sand at the Whittier Ranch and had started back to Cabazon for another load, the injury occurred within the period of his special employment and at a place where he might reasonably be.  The fact that the Gagnon Company authorized the employee to make repairs does not necessarily establish that it retained the exclusive right of control over the repairs to the truck. The commission could reasonably find that Campellone was performing a service growing out of or incidental to his employment and was therefore engaged in an act impliedly permitted by his special employer.
 In arguing that the injury did not arise out of or occur in the course of an employment by Metzger & Son, petitioner cites cases which state that in order to establish the legal relation of special employer and special employee so as to entitle the employee to compensation, it must appear that he suffered injury "as a result of" or "in consequence of" the "direction and control" of the special employer. (Stacey Bros. etc. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 197 Cal. 164, 169 [239 P. 1072]; Famous P. etc. Corp. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 194 Cal. 134, 136 [228 P. 5, 34 A.L.R. 765]; see, also, Independence Indemnity Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 203 Cal. 51, 55 [262 P. 757]; Diamond D. etc. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 199 Cal. 694, 697 [260 P. 862].) Such expressions, however, do not represent the law in so far as they imply that the right to compensation depends upon an actual exercise of control by [26 Cal. 2d 138] the special employer. This court has recently held that either the right to control or the exertion of control may show a special employment. (Guarantee Ins. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 22 Cal. 2d 516, 519 [139 P.2d 905]; National Auto Ins. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 23 Cal. 2d 215, 219 [143 P.2d 481].) [5b] As we have said heretofore, the evidence is sufficient to permit an inference that Metzger & Son had at least the right of control.
 Petitioner also challenges the jurisdiction of the commission to make the award in this case on the ground that the proceedings before it were intiated by the general employer without the consent and against the wishes of the injured employee. While the commission's power to make an award in such circumstances would appear to find support in Independence Indem. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 2 Cal. 2d 397 [41 P.2d 320], we do not find it necessary to determine that question in this case. Following the application by the Gagnon Company for adjustment of the claim, Campellone filed an answer setting forth the circumstances surrounding his injury, requesting the commission to find that the Gagnon Company willfully failed to carry workmen's compensation insurance on the date of injury, and praying for "any other or further relief within the circumstances." Clearly, upon the filing of that answer, the commission acquired jurisdiction of the proceeding.  Nor can there be any doubt of the propriety of the joinder of Metzger & Son and petitioner as party defendants on the application of the Gagnon Company. By section 5307 of the Labor Code the commission is expressly authorized to "Provide for the joinder in the same proceeding of all persons interested therein, whether as employer, insurer, ... or otherwise." Although one employer cannot object if the injured employee does not proceed against a second employer who is jointly and severally liable with him (see Hartford A. & I. Co. v. Industrial Acc. Com., 8 Cal. 2d 589, 591 [67 P.2d 105]), it does not follow that an employer or employee can object to the joinder of such persons.
Shenk, J., Edmonds, J., Carter, J., Traynor, J., Schauer, J., and Spence, J., concurred.

That’s the message from wealth management firm Morgan Stanley, who think a general election in the second half of 2018 is likely.
A report it released this week agonised about the effects for “companies in the utilities, postal, telecommunications, financial and defence sectors” if Corbyn wins.
The point was made even clearer in a briefing from Graham Secker, an equity strategist at Morgan Stanley.
“If I am a UK shares fund manager, I am more concerned about a potential change in the domestic political government than I am about Brexit,” Secker said.
Morgan Stanley then put up a list of firms who should fear what Labour might do. It included Ocado, Go-Ahead, Stagecoach, Greene King, Tesco, Ladbrokes Coral, and Dixons Carphone.
These are companies who have lots of low paid workers who might, horror of horrors, do better under Corbyn while profits might fall a bit.
This is the authentic voice of capital.
Ignore the thin smiles that bosses will sometimes bestow on anti-Brexit Labour figures. In their hearts they hate any interference with what they see as their right to make money.
So Labour had better prepare now for a battle. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said last week he was taking “advice and assistance” from asset managers. Don’t bother.
And don’t bother trying to win over the bosses’ CBI.
However many prawn cocktails you eat with them, capitalist sharks don’t turn into cuddly bears.
Only under intense pressure will companies make concessions.
There is a class war going on. After Philip Hammond’s budget last week, the Resolution Foundation forecasted that real disposable incomes will go down for 19 successive quarters.
That’s the most prolonged fall in more than 60 years.
For the poorest third of households, the forecast is “an average loss of £715 a year by the end of the parliament.” In contrast, the richest third will gain an average of £185.
Instead of trying to ally with the bosses who gain from this system, Labour has to fight them.
That means encouraging every bit of resistance now, initiating fightbacks itself, and looking beyond elections to organise struggle in the workplaces and the streets.
