As of Android Gradle plugin 3.4.0 (included in Android Studio 3.4), we are starting the deprecation process of the feature plugin (com.android.feature) and instant app plugin (com.android.instantapp) as a way to build your instant app. When building your app, you will receive a warning flagging com.android.feature as deprecated. If you have an existing instant app built with the feature plugin, migrate your existing app to an instant-enabled app bundle as soon as possible.
Last year, we introduced Android App Bundles—a new way to build and publish your Android apps. App bundles simplify delivering optimized APKs, including instant delivery, by unifying uploads into a single artifact. Google Play handles distribution by serving the correct APKs to your instant and installed app users—this is called Dynamic Delivery. To learn more about app bundles, visit the documentation site.
Dynamic Delivery is based on the idea of shipping dynamic features (com.android.dynamic-feature) to app users when they need them and only if they need them. There are currently three delivery types, based on the different values you will give the dist:module tag attributes on the dynamic feature module's manifest file:
By migrating your instant app to an instant-enabled app bundle with dynamic features, you will be ready to leverage the full power of this new paradigm and you will be able to simplify your app's modular design.
Previously, instant apps required creating a feature module that acted as the base module for your app. This base feature module contained the shared code and resources for both your instant and installed application. The rest of your codebase was comprised of:
With the new app bundle implementation, your base feature module takes the role as your app module (com.android.application), hosting the code and resources common to all features (instant and installed). You organize additional, modular features as one of three types of dynamic feature modules, based on when you want to deliver them to the user. The instant app module disappears, since the dist:instant attributes in the manifest are enough to identify which features will be included as part of the instant experience.
If you don't have an instant experience added to your app and you'd like to create one, use Android Studio 3.3+ to create an instant-enabled app bundle.
Google Play Instant enables people to experience your game or app natively without having to go through a full installation process. Removing the friction of installing is a great way to increase engagement, conversions, and lifetime value of your users.
Today, we've made it easier to build instant games and apps by removing the URL requirement. Previously, in order to publish an instant game you had to create a web destination for it. The website also had to be connected to the instant game through intent filters and digital asset links verification.
Now, it is no longer required to add URL-based intent filters to your instant game. People will be able to access the instant experience through a 'Try Now' button in the Play Store or Play Games apps, via deep link API, and in the future through the app ads.
While being particularly helpful for games which often don't have a corresponding website, the new URL-less functionality is available to both game and app developers.
Game developers using Unity or the latest Cocos Creator can take advantage of URL-less instant games by simply leaving the URL fields blank in the setup process.
However, if you have your own game engine or have built your game from scratch in C++, check the AndroidManifest to make sure it has the following intent filter declaration:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
Starting with Android Studio 3.2, you can create a new instant game, or convert your existing game, without associating a URL with it. In fact, this is now the default behavior. Here is a run through the process:
You should see an instant game on your attached device. Instant runtime found and launched the entry point activity in your game with the ACTION_MAIN and CATEGORY_LAUNCHER intent filter.
Once you are ready to publish the sample instant game:
Once you publish your instant game, people can access it via a 'Try Now' button in Play Store within 24 hours or sooner. You can also send traffic to your instant game using the deep link API:
MY.PACKAGE.NAME refers to applicationId that you have replaced in app/build.gradle file.
With the launch of Android App Bundle we are excited to further simplify the developer experience for Google Play Instant. In the coming months we are making it possible to deliver your app's or game's dynamic features instantly from the same bundle as your installable app or game. Stay tuned!

H2No™ Performance Standard shell.
Upper: 4-layer, 6.6-oz 100% recycled polyester microfiber high-density taffeta face fabric bonded to 100% recycled polyester backer.
Lower: 4-layer, 9.4-oz 100% recycled polyester microfiber high-density double-weave taffeta face fabric bonded to 100% recycled polyester backer.
Both with a waterproof/breathable barrier and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish
Patagonia developed the 4-layer fabric construction for our waders to increase breathability and abrasion resistance, move moisture away from the body, and decrease the weight.
Our exterior fabrics are densely woven 100% polyester microfibers for durability and puncture resistance. On one side we apply our H2No® waterproof coating for waterproof/breathable performance. On the other side we apply a Hydrophilic laminate that pulls moisture away from the body so it can be passed out through the exterior shell.
To protect the hydrophilic laminate we use a soft polyester tricot lining that increases abrasion resistance yet maintains a soft, supple drape.
Finally, we apply a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment as the first line of defense in keeping these waders waterproof.
Water Resistant
DWR (durable water repellent) fabric finish repels light rain and snow and decreases dry times. When DWR is used in conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

Salley, SC – Actor and amateur stunt man, Tom Sherman, faced a backlash from fellow coworkers this week after his continued insistence on having the song 'Heart and Soul' by 80's one hit wonder group T'pau blasted during his rehearsals.
"The song is deep for me." says Sherman, who at 47 is the only stunt man who can double for the great Irish action hero Fionn Kilkenny. "If I can't listen to some T'pau while I'm working, I just can't stay focused." said Sherman as he bounced off the set after a two story fall from a window.
Kilkenny and Sherman are on location in South Carolina filming the latest installment of the hit series Donegal Heights IX which will hit YouTube in the fall of 2021.

April 3, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
21st March 2014
LV= is the latest pension provider following Standard Life, to cut the threshold on its income drawdown pension plans which will go live from next Thursday.
Richard Rowney, LV= life and pensions managing director asserts that the group is altering its proposition to ensure that those approaching retirement will be able to take full advantage of the increased flexibility the Chancellor's announcement offers from 27 March.
LV= will be ready to quote clients considering capped drawdown at 150% of GAD, a rate set by the Government from next Thursday.
Rowney said: "We will be able to quote 150% of GAD for potential fixed term annuity clients from Monday 24 March. We have reduced our minimum contribution for capped and flexible drawdown to £30,000 and reduced the amount needed to satisfy the minimum income requirement for flexible drawdown to £12,000. In addition, in a drive towards wider flexibility as to how retirees take their benefits, we are removing our administration charge for those clients in flexible drawdown whose funds fall below £37,500.
"For the majority of people, retirement is no longer an absolute event whereby they hit 65 and leave the workplace forever. It's become a phased event and solutions such as fixed term annuities and income drawdown fit very neatly into that space. We believe that the changes that we are implementing will make these propositions even more attractive to advisers and their clients."
The trade website for independent financial advisers Money Marketing has also reported that other firms may not be able to make required changes to the new maximum GAD levels fast enough.

Jul 11 2016 - Genevive Lalonde Named to Canadian Olympic Team
After much anticipation, the track and field portion of the Canadian Olympic Team has been announced and for the first time since 2000, it includes a New Brunswicker. Genevieve Lalonde of Moncton has been selected to compete in the 3000m steeplechase at the Rio Olympics.
After a breathtaking year that included a Canadian record, a Diamond League appearance, and a bronze medal at the Canadian Championships/Olympic Trials, Genevieve Lalonde has checked another item off her list, become an Olympian. Although this is her first Olympics, Lalonde is no stronger to the world stage, having competed at the 2007 World Youth Championships, 2008 and 2009 World Cross Country Championships, 2010 World Junior Championships, 2012 NACAC U23 Championships, 2013 Jeux de la Francophonie, 2015 Pan American Games and World Championships. At the 2015 Pan American Games, she didn't just compete, she won a bronze medal.
Gen becomes just the second female New Brunswicker to make the Olympic athletics team, the first being Diane Matheson-Clement who competed at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. Interestingly, Diane was also a native of Moncton and 30 years after her Olympic appearance, made another as a team manager for the 1984 Olympics. The last track and field Olympian to come from New Brunswick was Joel Bouregois, who competed at both the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Also of note is that Bourgeois is Lalonde's former coach and also competed in the 3000m steeplechase event.
Joining Lalonde will be Maria Bernard of Calgary and Erin Teschuk of Winnipeg, the latter of which also represented Canada at last year's World Championships alongside Lalonde. These three women will all be the first to ever represent the country in the event at the Olympics, the steeplechase event was only offered to women beginning in 2008, and at both the Beijing and London Olympics, Canada did not send any athlete to compete in the event.
Genvieve Lalonde is one of only two athletes named to the team from the Atlantic provinces, the other being marathoner Eric Gillis who also competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.

Jul 7 2016 - Busy Weekend for Athletics in New Brunswick
The Moncton 2010 stadium will play host this upcoming weekend to three track and field events, providing athletes of all ages the opportunity to compete against others in a world class venue!
The Run Jump Throw Wheel Provincials will be held early Saturday in Moncton for athletes aged 8-13, who qualified by placing top 8 in their respective regional RJTW meet. Athletes are able to compete in a maximum of three events in which they qualified regionally. The top eight finishers in each event at Provincials will be invited to represent New Brunswick at the Team Atlantic Championships on July 23th in Saint John. This year a special event will be happening during the RJTW meet with two events of the men's decathlon being showcased. The events will feature Taylor Stewart (bronze medalist at the 2010 World Junior Championships in Moncton), James Turner, and Pierce Lepage. These three athletes will be hoping to hit the Olympic standard of 8100 points. Also competing will be New Brunswick record holder Chris Robertson along with Pierre Landry, Alain Doucet, Jean-Luc Bastarache, and Troy Wilson. The decathlon will be the event to watch this weekend!
Following the RJTW Provincials, the 2015 NB Legion Championships & ANB Performance Meet will take place over Saturday and Sunday at the Moncton 2010 Stadium. Athletes of all ages will be on hand to compete, but this meet is a requirement for athletes aged 14 to 17 looking for a spot to represent New Brunswick at this year's Canadian Legion Youth Track & Field Championships. This year the Championships will take place in Ste Thérèse, Québec from August 5th - 7th.
The Royal Canadian Track and Field program is a nationally sanctioned program culminating in a national track & field camp and national championship for Canadian youth between the ages of 14 and 17 in the current year. National and provincial athletic associations have described this program as one of the best in existence and some rate it as international calibre. Many of Canada's top track and field athletes have competed in this event. Past Legion Championships have seen New Brunswick athletes excel in their events bringing home medals, results of their hard work and excellent performances. Expectations based on performances by New Brunswick young athletes to date set the stage for these National to again be a successful championship.
Athletes to watch this weekend in Moncton include:
- Last year's returning individual medalists Mickyle Welsh from ASEA who runs the 100 and 200m dashes respectively, Lexie Shannon from Fredericton who competes in both the Long Jump, and Triple Jump, Hannah Trites, also from Fredericton, will run the 1200m, and Laura Dickinson of ASEA who will run the 800m and 1500m. These young athletes are all looking to have great weekends.
- Marie-Pier Cloutier of Saint John is having a record-breaking year, breaking her own 100m hurdles record nearly every time she steps on the track. She will also compete in the 100m and 200m dashes this weekend.
- Jordan Henri of ASEA will compete in the 100m, 200m, and high jump and is having a great season so far.
- Ryan Evans of Saint John is certainly making a name for himself in the track and field world, as he will compete in the 110m hurdles, 400m hurdles, and the javelin this weekend.
- Shelby MacIsaac of ASEA who recently broke the provincial records in the 100m, 200m, and high jump, will be competing this weekend in the high jump, 100m, and 200m.
- The event to watch this weekend may very well be the girls 100m which will showcase Samantha Taylor of Fast Tracks, Veronique Omalosanga of ASEA, Marie-Pier Cloutier of SJTC, Abigail Davidson of Fredericton, and Joelle Leger of ASEA. This race could very well put 3 or 4 girls on standard for the Legion Championships.
- Lexie Shannon (Long Jump and Triple Jump) and Pierre-Luc Mcgraw (Long Jump and High Jump) are the top ranked athletes in the field events, while Samuel Bourque of ASEA and Walker Campbell, unattached, are the highest ranked throwers in the competition competing in both the shot put and discus.
This multi-competition weekend will be a must-see so make sure to come out to the Moncton Stadium for some great track and field action!
"This meet is going to be great and very busy with so many athletes competing, and I think it will benefit the young up-and-comers to continue with our sport, being able to watch these high calibre athletes compete," said Gabriel Leblanc, Technical Director of Athletics New Brunswick.
Jul 6 2016 - Moncton will host last chance for Decathlon Olympic Hopeful this Saturday & Sunday
The Decathlon is a multi-event competition held over the course of 2 days, and has 10 events. This weekend we have 3 special guests, all with unique stories, joining us in Moncton in hopes of hitting the Olympic qualifying standard in this event.
Taylor Stewart, from London, Ontario, will compete this Saturday and Sunday at the Moncton 2010 Stadium in hopes of qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympics. He will be on familiar ground in this stadium where he won a bronze medal in the long jump at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships hosted in Moncton.
Throwing it back to that day in Moncton six years ago, Taylor was competing in front of thousands of Canadians and on TV broadcasted live internationally. He was on his last jump of the competition, still not having jumped a medal-winning distance, but with the help from all of the fans and the support of the entire crowd at the stadium, Taylor jumped to a bronze medal on his final attempt! It was very inspirational to all Canadians, and he then became a national hero in the track and field world. That was when he realized he could make it as a world class athlete. But early last year, after not being content with the way his long jump career was going, he decided to switch paths and try an even greater challenge - the decathlon. Now, this weekend will be his last chance to qualify for the Rio Olympics in what is one of the most grueling events in Track and Field.
James Turner, currently ranked 2nd in the country in the decathlon behind Olympian Damian Warner, will also take to the track this weekend in Moncton in hopes of hitting the Olympic standard. Originally from Kelowna BC, Turner attends the University of Toronto, and trains 3-4 hours each and every day working towards excellence and chasing his Olympic dreams.
Pierce Lepage has a few accolades under his belt as well. As last year's Junior National Champion AND the record holder in the Junior Decathlon, he also won this year's RBC Training Ground in Toronto. He will be competing in Moncton as he also chases his dreams in hopes of joining Canada at the Olympics in Rio in August.
Also competing in the decathlon this weekend are provincial record holder Chris Robertson of Moncton, Pierre Landry of Saint-Louis-de-Kent, Alain Doucet of Dieppe, and Jean-Luc Bastarache of Moncton, all representing the local track club, ASEA.
As you can see, this is going to be a very exciting competition and you don't want to miss it! Make sure to be at the Moncton Stadium Saturday AND Sunday to witness these high class athletes compete for a birth on the Olympic team.
"We're more than happy to have these incredible young men compete here in Moncton this weekend, and we wish them well on their Olympic journey. It will be the competition to see, and this level of high caliber athletes will be very inspirational to the younger athletes in the province. I'm very excited to watch as well and hopefully this can spark new-found desires for the up-and-coming athletes in New Brunswick!" – Gabriel Leblanc, Technical Director of Athletics New Brunswick.
Jul 5 2016 - Jeux de l'Acadie highlights
The 37th finals of Jeux de l'Acadie was held this weekend in Caraquet in the region of the Acadien Peninsula. For two days, Saturday and Sunday, it's at the Polyvalente Louis-Mailloux that the Track & Field events occurred. Unfortunately, the weather was not in favor of athletes seeking to break records.
Because of the wind and cold, only two athletes have managed to break records. The thrower Katelyn Milligan representing the delegation of Prince Edward Island in the 14-15years category has launched an incredible 11.29m beating the previous record of 10.78m set in 2013 by Sara-Ève Noël from Chaleur delegation.
In the para division, Jacob LeBlanc from South-East has established a new mark at the Shot Put with a throw of 4.71m. Jacob also won the 100m wheelchair Sunday morning in front of Nicolas Legacy also from South-East.
Several records may have not been beaten however, that did not stopped athletes from getting great performances.
Allain-Olivier Sirois from Madawaska-Victoria fought to the end against Jérémie Cyr, South-East, at the high jump to finally win the competition with a jump of 1.68m. Allain-Olivier had tried 1.73m to beat the record of the Jeux de l'Acadie and was really close to achieve.
As for distances, athletes from Chaleur stood out. Antoine Roy, 12-13years, finished in 2nd place in the 800m and 1200m. In the category 14-15years, Amy Poirier won the 800m in 2:37.29 and Miguel Caron won the 1200m in 3:54.69. On South-East side, François Richard won two gold medals with a good lead in the 800m and 1200m.
In sprints, Mélanie Haché, Kent, win first place Saturday in the 200m with a 28s28 as 13s48 in the 100m the following day. Nicholas Beaulieu, Nova Scotia, also dominated the 100m and 200m in 12s15 and 25s20, respectively, in addition to getting a first place with his team of Nova Scotia in the 4x100m relay. Also, the gold in the long jump with a wonderful leap of 5.45m belong to Nicholas as well. In Chaleur region, Gregory Duguay finished first in the 80m, long jump and 4x100m relay for the 12-13years category.
The years to come are definitely promising. Do not miss the 38th finals of the Jeux de l'Acadie that will be held in Fredericton from June 28 to July 2, 2017!

We will have two work days this spring and then if anyone still has some left over time they can come through the summer to move, feed, water or change their fences around. We will also some people to pick up the whey three times a week from the Cheese Facory in Edmonton. The work days are:
Saturday May 14 1 - 5 pm Clean up of winter chicken coop.....get it ready for brooding chicks, send other layers to the egg mobile for the summer (dirty job, but those who help on this day will get first dibs on all eggs for the rest of the year)
Sunday May 22 1 - 5 pm Build two more movable pens, bring any chicken wire you can salvage from anywhere (its the most expensive part of the whole coop!)
On both days we'll be barbecuing at the end of the day and anyone who wants to bring a salad, etc. is welcome to add to the potluck.
Rigel and I watched Murree give birth today to three beautiful kids one male (Yukyuk) and two females (Yleen and Ynot). They are all up, drinking and happy!

But I can't get it to work (even though I successfully set it up on my Nexus 7). I have tried following various online web instructions but no go.

Art Heritage
Art Galleries
Gibraltar Exhibitions of Modern Art – G.E.M.A.
Back To Art Galleries
The Gibraltar Exhibitions of Modern Art – G.E.M.A., located at Montagu Bastion, Line Wall road, was officially inaugurated on Tuesday 10th November by the Minister for Culture, the Hon Steven Linares.
This new gallery opened with exhibition rooms dedicated to previous winners of the three main art competitions held annually in Gibraltar; The International Art Exhibition, The Young Art Competition and The Spring Visual Arts Competition. The public will be able to enjoy over 40 artworks encompassing mostly paintings, but also sculptures, video, installation and photography.
The gallery is housed within the historical Montagu Bastion, which was recently refurbished, after having been used as a store for many years. Thus now serving the dual purpose of showcasing local art talent as well as the opening up of a new site of heritage value, for locals and tourists alike.
The gallery is now open to the public
Monday to Friday 11am – 3pm. Entrance is free.
Montagu Bastion - a brief history
It is thought the Bastion was probably originally built by the Moors. Under the British it was rebuilt and enlarged into a large five-sided bastion with three faces covering the Mole and the Waterport, and two flanks.
In 1705, the year after the capture of Gibraltar, it was named after Ralph Montagu (1638?-1709), Marquis of Monthermer, made First Duke of Montagu. It was sited at the end of the Old Mole and was covered by the Montagu Counterguard. William Green, the chief engineer, wanted to place a 10-inch mortar in a bonnette in front of Montagu Battery. The battery was built between 1730 and 1738 and its first mounted guns in 1735.
In 1744 it mounted nine iron 18-pdrs. According to Colonel Drinkwater-well known for the journal which he kept during the Great Siege of Gibraltar - in 1782 a cavalier or a raised mount was built, using ships' timbers and following the pentagonal shape of the bastion beneath. The cavalier was opened at the gorge which faced east towards the town. Its guns augmented those on the bastion below and fired over the Old Mole and out into the Bay in front of the Inundation, a possible enemy landing place.
General Jones in his report of 1841 was extremely critical of Montagu Bastion. He recommended that measures should be taken to heighten the main line of the scarp, reduce the dangerously wide openings of the embrasures and to even move the heavier guns from the main line down to the counterguard in front so that their lines of fire would not be obstructed by any advanced works.
Montagu Bastion, which had become the most powerful bastioned fortification on Gibraltar, by 1859 had twenty-nine guns. As a result of the rearmament after the recommendations of Colonel W.F.D. Jervois in 1868, three 10-inch 18-ton RML guns in covered iron-shielded emplacements were constructed on the left face of the bastion by 1880. Twelve years later the guns were obsolete and were finally removed in 1907. Together with the RMLs the bastion mounted two 32-pdrs. on the left flank and another two 32-pdrs. of 42 cwt in the orillon. There is an undated drawing for an emplacement for two 12-pdr. QF guns (PRO WO 78/3874), which were possibly mounted in 1897 on the cavalier against motor torpedo boats.
During the 20th century Montagu Bastion served as an anti-aircraft position. In 1928 four 3-inch anti-aircraft guns were intended and installed in 1931. This was a position for two 3.7-inch anti-aircraft guns during the Second World War.

In our Annual Report 2015 we emphasise the importance of quality education for all children and youngsters. It bears witness to the results we achieve and the stories we initiate. We brought them together under the three subsectors in which we operate: early education, primary education, and secondary technical and vocational education. They always relate to professional development of teachers and/or school leaders and to equity in education. They illustrate how our capacity development leads to sustainable results in education. We offer brief introductions with lots of photos, testimonials and info graphics. Below you can download VVOB's Annual Report of 2015 (in Dutch and English) or browse through it.
After the deadline of the Millennium Development Goals, in September 2015, heads of state and government agreed in New York upon 17 new goals, the Sustainable Development Goals. These must be achieved by 2030. As the fourth goal, education takes a prominent place in the global development agenda.
Unlike the previous Millennium Development Goals the targets in education are not limited to access to primary education. From now on countries worldwide will have to pay additional attention to the quality of education, from early childhood to secondary education.
Quality education for all children and youngsters
VVOB is pleased with this evolution. After all, we are already committed for years to improving the quality of education in three continents. In recent years we also inspire education closer to home, in Flanders, through good examples from our partner countries. Thus we contribute to equity in education. The Sustainable Development Goals are very clear on this: quality education can only be achieved if all children and youngsters have equal opportunities to participate.
In our Annual Report 2015, you can read how VVOB contributed concretely the past year to this goal, at the levels of early childhood, primary, and secondary technical and vocational education. These are after all the subsectors on which VVOB focuses successfully since 2011. The choice of these subsectors is not accidental. It provides an answer to the greatest educational challenges of the countries in which VVOB operates. Moreover, it is a choice that makes explicit that equity in education is not a hollow concept for VVOB.
Equal start through early education
In Vietnam, Zambia and Zimbabwe, VVOB focuses on early childhood education. In the fight for equity in education the choice for early childhood education is nothing less than self-evident. Good early childhood education promotes the youngest in all areas so that they are well prepared for the rest of their school career. Especially children from disadvantaged groups benefit from this. Through participation in early childhood education, they can catch up to other children and get an equal start in primary education. This way the chances they complete their schooling increase significantly, which decreases the number of drop-outs drastically.
Clear learning outcomes in primary education
Thanks to the Millennium Development Goals more children than ever go to primary school. However, research shows that the earlier 'access crisis' is now replaced by a 'learning crisis'. Many children who go to school learn little to nothing. It mainly involves children from disadvantaged groups, who before would not go to school. That is why VVOB emphasizes concrete learning outcomes, ranging from literacy to numeracy and life skills, in the professionalisation of teachers and school leaders in Cambodia, Rwanda and South Africa.
Access to the labour market and a focus on entrepreneurship through strong technical and vocational education
Through support of technical and vocational education, young people, often from socio-economically disadvantaged groups, get better job opportunities. Since a formal labour market is not always developed strong VVOB also focuses on the development of entrepreneurship. This way young people can shape their own future. Last year VVOB deployed a lot of interventions in the DR Congo, Ecuador, Rwanda and Suriname to achieve a better connection between education and work opportunities. This way, technical and vocational education becomes more relevant and attractive to young people.

After having been accidentally abandoned, this teddy bear is found kidnapped then dissected for experiments. This 90-second spot softens the thorny topic of animal testing. Without any graphic content, this is a first for the PETA association. It is true that we are all a little "used" to the explicit, gory and shocking videos of PETA, the famous American association for the defense of animals.
Category Pub / Marketing
Every brand has its competitor; a nemesis of always looking for his share of the market too. Whether it is by parodying the other, by diverting their message, or ridiculing them, in short: the marks are not cold to the eyes and do not lack the nerve to tackle them. This gives rise to advertisements, all more creative than each other, where brands compete publicly, like to expose their differences in the eyes of the world.
He reveals his life to passers-by in the street to raise awareness about the use of social networks
From now on, social networks are an integral part of our daily lives. It's simple: in a decade, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat (to name a few) have managed to attract billions of users around the world. Today, we are all on social networks and for many, we have the habit of posting the small and great moments of our lives.
Some of these advertisements, more or less "vintage", are rather cold in the back. Maybe it was not intentional for all, but the advertisers behind these TV spots really put the package on, given the high degree of discomfort. Of course, the image quality a bit degraded and the black and white of some videos play a lot; all for a chilling result ... as is the case with these 20 Halloween costumes that are still scary 100 years later.

In the category of wacky ideas, here is the idea of the Danish brewer Norrebro Bryghus. The latter had the idea to create the first beer with urine! But do not worry, they did not inject urine, strictly speaking, of course. No, on the other hand, they have started the initiative of collecting the urine of festival-goers to use it as fertilizer to grow malt, a cereal that as you know is used to make beer.
The vending machines are very convenient, but in general they deliver only drinks, snacks and treats. In short, foods that are generally very bad for your health ... and for the line! But fortunately, a great initiative has emerged in Alsace, in the city of Colmar, which seriously aims to reinvent the image we have of the vending machine.
This (fake) pub features a Ninja Turtle at the gym and you'll never guess what it's selling
Some fake advertisements are so well realized that they are sometimes much better than official creations on the web or on TV. And believe us: this is not the spot that we will present today that will make you say the opposite. The advertising profession is fascinating: capturing public attention by generating emotion with usually very short spots is not within the reach of everyone.
Since 2012, Les Chatons d'Or have been recognized as THE reference festival for creative young start-ups, who have just started their career in the (not always easy) field of advertising. So, unlike the elitist pub festivals, like the famous Cannes Lions: Golden Kittens are accessible to all creative, whether students, creative agency or even simple amateurs!
This restaurant serves a wine at 5000 € instead of a bottle at 260 € but wins a huge publicity stunt on Twitter
If you are addicted to cooking shows, you already know that most of the time, chefs and restaurant crews are quite uncompromising, and do not miss an opportunity to get the bad guys out. In the restaurant business, the pressure rises very quickly and the tension is constantly present.
For a large percentage of the population, the brand LIDL is known for its low prices, and their ads of useful products on a daily basis. Nevertheless, many of their followers on social networks follow them for a reason: their legendary spread. The community managers of the brand are clipped and often deliver pure comedy.
They divert the game "Where is Charlie?" To encourage pedestrians to watch before crossing
When we talk about road safety, we often think of road users as motorists or bikers. However, the most vulnerable and fragile remain pedestrians and it is sometimes important to remember that we must look around when crossing the road to ensure its safety.

JOLIET – Claire Halbur can't wait for the day when she will stand before God's altar in a wedding gown and finally exchange her purity ring for a wedding ring.
The difference between Halbur, 28, of Joliet, and many young women her age is that Halbur has never dated, is not engaged and won't be getting married. Halbur is preparing to become a consecrated virgin, a decision she said "resonates deeply in her heart and in her soul."
"I only shared it initially with my family and my spiritual director," Halbur said. "It was almost too precious to talk about freely or publicly, initially."
Halbur said the tradition of consecrated virgins goes back to early days of the Catholic church, predating organized religious orders. A resurgence occurred in the 1970s, when it became a recognized vocation in the church, and the numbers are growing, Halbur said.
As of 2008, there were about 3,000 consecrated virgins all over the world, according to the United States Association of Consecrated Virgins at consecratedvirgins.org. The vocation still is unfamiliar to many people, even Catholics, Halbur added.
Like many women in religious orders, consecrated virgins spend much time in prayer and minister to their communities, Halbur said. Unlike women in religious orders, consecrated virgins are financially responsible for themselves.
But don't feel sorry for Halbur.
"The life of celibacy is about abundance, not deprivation," Halbur stated in an email. "A woman called to lifelong virginity doesn't lose her sexuality. I seek to love Christ and others in a fully feminine way."
The decision required years of discernment for Halbur, including a difficult walk in a spiritual desert where God became silent.
Halbur grew up in a traditional Catholic home-schooling environment where she became adept in music, wore modest dresses and attended daily Mass. Halbur liked babies and children and assumed she would – one day – marry and raise a family. At her confirmation, Halbur received a chastity ring. She said her parents encouraged her, as well as her two sisters, to wait for "the right guy and the right reason" and concentrate on their personal growth.
"I'm so grateful for that," Halbur said. "I know the typical teenage girl goes through a lot of heartache, but I had other priorities at that point in my life."
By her early teens, Halbur had become a catechist in three churches: St. Patrick and St. Joseph in Joliet and St. Dominic in Bolingbrook. She taught private music lessons. Later, she founded and directed the Joliet-based Cherubim Catholic Children's Choir, was director of music at St. Mary Parish in Plano and coordinated a Catholic children's day camp.
Halbur also assisted her mother, Barbara Halbur, with a Joliet area Catholic home school group and coordinating state conferences for home school Catholics, which developed her leadership and team-building skills, she said.
"By the time I was an age where I felt old enough to virtuously date, I was focused on other things," Halbur said. "And there wasn't a specific guy in my life that would have led to that."
At age 21, Halbur said Jesus asked her to "lay all of her very natural human dreams and desire at his feet" and agree to belong 100 percent to him and only him.
"So I surrendered and said, 'Yes,' " Halbur said. "I assumed this meant I would go into a convent soon."
Halbur visited convents of different orders and prayed for direction. God didn't provide any. Halbur called these years "profound spiritual darkness." But she trusted him.
So when the dating offers arrived, Halbur refused them, explaining she was "single, but not available." She wrote about her journey on various Catholic blogs. In 2013, she was contacted by a media company about the possibility of participating in a project about discernment. In 2014, she was accepted.
The project was the Lifetime reality series "The Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns." For six weeks, the show followed five Catholic women as they explored the vocation of sisterhood.
After the show ended, Halbur attended a private retreat. She then realized with absolute clarity that God wished her to spend her life and serve him as a consecrated virgin.
So Halbur, the associate director for the children's choirs at the Cathedral of St. Raymond, said she approached Bishop R. Daniel Conlon at the Diocese of Joliet, who had two conditions before he would consent.
One was that she finish her music degree at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. And she had to secure a full-time job. Halbur said the degree is nearly completed. And this week, she moved to Arizona to serve as director of sacred music at St. Mary Magdalene in Gilbert, a position that opened up for her earlier this summer.
At St. Mary Magdalene, a 4,500-member "vibrant" parish, Halbur said she will strengthen the existing adult choir and build a children's choir. These choirs will sing music that is part of traditional Catholic liturgy, such as Gregorian chant and ancient choral hymns in the vernacular.
At a Mass this summer, Halbur said she received confirmation of this new direction during the reading of this verse: "I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her." Hosea 2:14.
"I feel very much that God, in his Year of Mercy, very personally expressed this for his bride," Halbur said.

Publisher and Managing Editor for The Retail Observer
At Hospitality Design Expo, I was delighted to see displays filled with beautifully made products that far surpassed mainstream retail shops. The price tags also reflected the durability and uniqueness of these product lines, which is why many of these items won't be found in your average store. But where can the consumer find these quality luxury items? Does the independent have to remain "just your everyday store?" If you don't offer your customers a touch of luxury who will?
I think most of us stick to the same old stuff, not because we aren't willing to pay more, but because "everyday stuff" is easier to find. Luxury manufacturers are realizing this and setting up pages on their websites to make finding you - the dealer, easier. Work with these companies that direct their internet business to you.
Become the place customers come for inspiration and great design ideas. Attend shows to find the gems for your showroom. Make your store stand out as cutting edge, and the go to destination in your community. Perhaps you will take a chance and find your inspiration at this month's Dwell on Design show in L.A.
Until next time,

Since we have a major holiday coming up that involves the dining room, I thought it appropriate to deconstruct one for our third installment of "Get The Look."
This lovely space is the work of Karen Cole and Melody Duron. It feels fresh and current but also has an old world charm to it. I could see it in a beach setting but also as a country home.
My favorite thing about this space is the round dining table. A round dining table is truly the best if you are interested in long parties of lingering at the table. They are so much more conducive to conversation than any other shaped table (I know this sound crazy, but it's true!)
Also, dining rooms are one of the most difficult rooms to do on a budget. I've found when sourcing furnishings for clients you can really save some money on upholstered pieces, pillows, artwork and accessories. But, it's more difficult to find inexpensive casement pieces that are well made.
So, with that caveat, here are my picks to give you this look.
Happy Monday! M.

I am currently working with an amazing brand called Dizen. Dizen launched in 2015 and brings you affordable fashion from a variety of brands! I have only just recently heard about this brand but I knew this would be a great brand to show you guys on my blog as I know everyone will love it too! Today's post is all about creating the perfect simple outfit. I have chosen a piece from Dizen as the main focus, and I am going to be giving you tips on how to create a quick and easy outfit, that still looks amazing! The lovely girls over at Dizen have also given me a discount code for all of my readers. Use the code 'KELLIENEE20' to get 20% off full price items! I would 100% recommend taking advantage of this as the quality of the clothes are really lovely and there's so much to choose from.
This dress is from the Dizen website and is a high neck striped dress. It's black and grey and long sleeved as well! I decided to style this amazing dress with a simple leather jacket. I think that this pulls everything together perfectly and gives a statement to the outfit! I also decided to wear some amazing long black boots from Dorothy Perkins. I thought they matched really well with the leather jacket. Having the dress as the main feature always works well as you don't need to put too much effort in with the jacket and shoes.
I decided to wear a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 107. Wearing a bold lip is the perfect idea to include in a simple outfit as it adds the bit of colour which you need! It allows the red of the lips to stand out and this shade is perfect for the outfit. I also decided to include this heart necklace by a brand called Lvndr. Its the perfect necklace to add a bit of detail to your simple outfit. It works really well with the high neck and the colour's work perfectly too.
You really don't need to spend a lot to create a stylish and simple outfit! A black and grey outfit with a bold lip is so easy to do and can be changed to everyone's taste. This dress by Dizen is really lovely quality and the perfect length for me. The high neck adds a really nice effect and works really well with the leather jacket. This leather jacket is from New Look so was really affordable and goes with so many outfits! Adding the long boots added the perfect finishing touch to the outfit and linked in well with everything else!
I hope you enjoyed reading today's post and I hope I gave you some idea's on creating the perfect simple outfit. I always wear simple outfits as I think they are really quick and easy but can also look fashionable too. I tend to stick with black and grey as I love adding the colour with the makeup or jewellery!
I have enjoyed working with Dizen and I would recommend looking at their website as there are a lot of amazing products! Don't forget to use the code 'KELLIENEE20' to get 20% off full priced items! The people have been so lovely to work with and I hope to work with them again in the future...
