Federal judge rules on Texas abortion law
AUSTIN – Attorney General Greg Abbott has appealed Monday's ruling by a federal judge that struck down a key provision of Texas's new abortion law, according to a new court filing in the case.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel ruled Monday that a provision to require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals is unconstitutional.
Yeakel also partially blocked new restrictions on pregnancy-ending drugs, saying they "may not be enforced against any physician who determines, in appropriate medical judgment, to perform a medication-abortion using the off-label protocol for the preservation of the life or health of the mother."
New regulations for abortion-inducing drugs are set to kick in at midnight, except in cases when women have medical conditions that can make surgical abortion "extremely difficult or impossible," according to the ruling.
"As everyone – including the trial court judge – has acknowledged, this is a matter that will ultimately be resolved by the appellate courts or the U.S. Supreme Court," said Abbott spokeswoman Lauren Bean.
Abbott filed the appeal about an hour after the ruling was made public Monday afternoon.
Monday's ruling stems from a lawsuit filed last month by Planned Parenthood, the Center for Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union. Yeakel heard three days of testimony and arguments about the abortion law last week during a trial in Austin.
The two rulings are clear victories for abortion-rights groups, which argued the admitting privilege and medication-abortion provisions would force clinics across the state to close and would leave tens of thousands of Texas women without access to safe abortions.
Federal courts have blocked similar laws in Wisconsin, Alabama, Mississippi and North Dakota.
Higher courts are expected to ultimately decide both issues.
The two measures passed in July amid a marathon Democratic filibuster and massive protests at the state Capitol. Aside from provisions on abortion-inducing drugs and admitting privileges, the law also only allows abortions in surgical centers and bans the procedure after 20 weeks.
Gov. Rick Perry, in a statement Monday, said Yeakel's ruling "will not stop our ongoing efforts to protect life and ensure the women of our state aren't exposed to any more of the abortion-mill horror stories that have made headlines recently. We will continue fighting to implement the laws passed by the duly-elected officials of our state, laws that reflect the will and values of Texans."
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, in a statement of his own, said he was "saddened" by the court's decision to strike down the admitting privileges requirements.
"It is disturbing to know that the abortion industry is celebrating a so-called victory that actually reduces the standard of care for the women from whom they profit."
Top Democrats also chimed in on the ruling, too.
Sen. Leticia Van De Putte, the San Antonio Democrat mulling a run for lieutenant governor, said, "I'm grateful that a Texas court agreed today that House Bill 2 would have had harmful effects on women's access to care and affirmed that the Republican-controlled Legislature went too far in its attacks on women."
The ruling was hailed by Ken S. Lambrecht, chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, who said it "protects access to safe and legal abortion for women in many parts of the state.
"Today's ruling marks an important victory for Texas women and sends a clear message to lawmakers," Lambrecht said in a statement. "it is unconstitutional for politicians to pass laws that take personal, private decisions away from women and their doctors."
Lambrecht added that the part of the ruling allowing restrictions on medication abortion unless there's a risk to the life or health of the mother "puts ideology over science by banning a safe method of abortion for many women."
A Texas Right to Life official said the organization was not surprised at Yeakel's ruling, given his previous judgment that it was unconstitutional to exclude abortion affiliates in the Texas Women's Health Program. She said the organization looks forward to how the matter plays out at the U.S. 5 Circuit Court of Appeals, which overturned Yeakel's judgment on the Women's Health Program law and ruled in favor of Texas' law requiring women seeking an abortion must first have a sonogram.
"We' re ready for the next round," said Emily Horne, a legislative associate with Texas Right to Life.

Play Ball!
Opening day here, the 128th in Phillies history.
Time to begin a six-month marathon with the goal of playing October baseball again. Last NL team to win three straight pennants? 1942-43-44 St. Louis Cardinals. It is a lofty mountain for the Phillies to climb.
All sports have an opening day, but baseball is bigger. Winter is behind, warm weather in front. Baseball every day consumes our lives.
President Obama will throw out the first ball today, the 100th anniversary of a President making that ceremonial first toss. He's scheduled to visit the Phillies in their clubhouse. Last May, the Phillies visited him in his house.
Since the Phillies are opening on the road this year, they will have their second opener at Citizens Bank Park a week from today. They'll be excitement this afternoon in DC but nothing compared to next Monday. Phillies fans will be pumped.
Team took an early afternoon AMTRAK charter train to DC yesterday. They worked out in late afternoon. This morning, the busses are scheduled to leave the hotel at 9:30. Chances are the buses will be mostly empty. Charlie and his staff and players will be at the park before the busses depart.
Last time the Phillies started the season on the road was 2004, a 2-1 loss to the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Last opening day win: 8-4, the next season against theWashington Nationals.
Opening day hasn't been that friendly for the Phillies:
**56-69 in club history, plus back-to-back ties, 1923-24.
**winless in last four.
**Citizens Bank Park season openers, 1-4.
**2-3 on April 5 openers.
**7-5 in decade openers.
Yep, the Phillies are beginning their 13th decade of existence. The Phillies are the oldest, continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all of professional sports. Truly, an extraordinary tradition.
Notes: Happy birthday today to Ross Gload, 34. Wouldn't it be something if he celebrated with a game-winning hit . . . Did you see where two Phillies Alumni, Doug Glanville and Curt Schilling, will be part of ESPN TV and ESPN.com? . . . Pedro Martinez threw out the ceremonial first ball for the Red Sox last night against the Yankees. Does that mean he is retired? No one knows as he didn't talk to the media . . . Deepest sympathy to Davey Lopes and his family. His brother, Michael, died in a fire on Friday night in his Providence, RI, home.

Troubleshooting your SSD issues
Check the Ribbon Cable
A common factor with those SSDs that do go faulty is that it is often the connecting computer ribbon cable that is the defective element. As they get older, the performance of this type of cable will decrease and can reach the point where its optimum level of operation is compromised. This is largely due to the high bandwidth nature of SSDs when compared to older HDDs that use a much lower bandwidth and as a result place a much lower demand on the ribbon cable.
Eliminating The Possibility of a Faulty SSD
Your first step to locating the source of your issue is to eliminate the possibility of your SSD actually being faulty, which you can do by testing it in a second computer (if you have one). If it exhibits the same issue on a different machine, your SSD might just be on the fritz.
A big indicator of a malfunctioning SSD unit would be if you were to experience errors when you try and format it. Another would be if there is no detection of the SSD in any computer it is installed in, which would mean that there is a high probability that a replacement SSD will be required.
If you've only recently purchased your SSD, we would recommend talking to the establishment that you bought it from to organise a replacement under warranty.
Possible Operating System (OS) Problem
When an OS becomes corrupt, it can manifest itself in a multitude of different ways, causing a multitude of different issues. From slow performance to crashing or experiencing loading errors, if your SSD's possible issues aren't the only problem your computer has, then it does start to point towards a malfunctioning OS. The only way to truly eliminate this as a possible source of the problem is to reinstall your OS, which must only be done after you've backed up all of your important data.
If this is the true cause of the problem, then reinstalling your OS will solve it. We hope that this helped solve your SSD issues.

Monarch Butterfly Migration At Risk Of Disappearing
Monarch colonies in Mexico covered just 1.65 acres in December 2013, the lowest area in recorded history
WWF is calling on leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico to agree on immediate conservation actions at the North American Leaders' Summit in February
Monarch colonies in Mexico covered just 1.65 acres in December 2013, the lowest area in recorded history
WWF is calling on leaders from Canada, the United States and Mexico to agree on immediate conservation actions at the North American Leaders' Summit in February

- In This Press Release
The number of monarch butterflies hibernating in Mexico reached an all-time low in 2013, according to data collected by the WWF-Telcel Alliance and Mexico's National Commission for Protected Areas (CONANP). Surveys of forested area used by hibernating monarchs showed that just 1.65 acres of forest were inhabited by monarchs during December of 2013, a 44% drop from the same time the previous year. The findings represent the lowest area since surveys began in 1993.
Forest area inhabited by monarchs in Mexico is used as an indirect indicator of the number of butterflies arriving from Canada and the United States each year following a migration of more than 2,500 miles. The butterflies spend November through March hibernating in Mexico's temperate forests.
A number of factors have contributed to a sharp decline in monarch populations in recent years, including loss of reproductive habitat caused by land-use changes and reduction of milkweed (primary food source for monarch larvae ) from herbicide use; extreme climate conditions in Canada, the United States and Mexico; and deforestation and forest degradation in hibernation sites in Mexico.
"The combination of these threats has led to a dramatic decline in the number of monarch butterflies arriving to Mexico to hibernate over the past decade," said Omar Vidal, WWF-Mexico Director General. "Twenty years after the signing of NAFTA, the monarch butterfly migration – a symbol of cooperation between our three countries – is in grave danger."
WWF is calling on leaders of Canada, the United States and Mexico to agree on a plan at the North American Leaders' Summit for immediate action to conserve the monarch migration. The Summit takes place February 19 in Toluca, Mexico.
To carry out the monitoring, bi-weekly tours were conducted through the 11 sanctuaries with historical presence of monarch colonies, determining their location, the perimeter they occupied with spatial analysis software, and temperatures.
"Since 2003, in coordination with local communities and the Mexican Government, the Alliance WWF-Telcel supports forest conservation and sustainable development in the region for the benefit of the monarch, the locals, and the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the sanctuaries every year", said Marcos Linares, Business marketing Deputy Director, Telcel.
The vast majority of monarchs that arrive in Mexico grew up eating milkweed in the United States and Canada, according to Karen Oberhauser, professor at the University of Minnesota who has studied the monarch for more than 30 years, and is a leading scientist on this butterfly. "Numerous lines of evidence demonstrate that the Corn Belt in the US Midwest is the primary source for monarchs hibernating in Mexico," said Oberhauser. Large part of the monarchs' reproductive habitat in this region has been lost to changing agricultural practices, namely an explosion in the use of crops that allow post-emergence treatment with herbicides. "These genetically modified crops have resulted in the extermination of milkweed from many agricultural habitats," added Oberhauser.
"In addition to habitat degradation due to use of pesticides and herbicides, recent changes in federal law in Canada have significantly reduced protection of monarch butterfly habitat across Canada", said Dr. Phil Schappert, Canadian butterfly conservationist and author who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and that has worked and written on monarchs for decades. "The promotion of 'the economy first' practices, instead of sustainable land use practices, threatens monarch habitat", added Schappert.
Mexican authorities effectively enforced efforts to protect the Monarch Reserve, particularly from 2007 to 2012. Those efforts, together with the decade-long financial support from Mexican and international philanthropists and businesses to create alternative-income sustainable projects and employment to local communities, resulted in the decrease of large-scale logging in the core zone of the reserve.
"Over the past 35 years Mexico has done everything to protect monarch butterfly hibernation sites, and even so the population continues to decrease. It is time that Canada and the United States implemented measures that protect the reproductive habitat and feeding grounds of this butterfly. Otherwise, this spiral of population decline will continue", Schappert concluded.
"Considering the challenges faced by the monarch butterfly and the clear evidence that their populations are declining, it is vital to mobilize as many people as possible, and that our efforts are carefully planned to help this butterfly recover, so their wonderful migration can be appreciated for many more generations", ended Oberhauser.

Now, I admit I'm just one bent nail in the board, so I wanna know (and I'm genuinely interested):
Why do you think this is so great?
- Martin said...
Michael – We may be approaching these works with different needs. I'm perhaps more receptive to the slightly sinister, the sloppily erotic, the absurdly futile, and most especially art with a capital A.
Are you a fan of the theater, Punch and Judy, the circus, kabuki, butoh, Bread and Puppet, the cabaret, Grand Guignol?
If you were to examine this set for only it's formal qualities I think you would find that the artist's careful attention to color, texture, detail, scale, and pattern would give you at least as much pleasure as any of the other works currently in the gallery.
- Michael McDevitt said...
Hmm. I s'pose I can see where you are coming from. I appreciate the theatrical element, but I think that the repetitive nature of the piece puts me off. I imagine that it could speak of futility, but I find it rather tiresome. Also, like many works in similar veins, I have a hard time discerning to what degrees the intent is earnest, ironic, self-aggrandizing, or deliberately cryptic. To my eyes, much comtemporary work is surrounded by this tangle. and I feel that a great number of charlatans hide their sneers behind this comnundrum, and all to often people are whisked away. To some extent I think that there is a great deal of Emporer's New Clothes syndrome going on. Nobody wants to be the philistine that doesn't 'get it.'Thus, the sloppier and more cryptic the piece, the better it is assumed to be. Having seen too much of this, perhaps I have set my default option to 'Bullshit.'
Errp. I was going to write more, but it's breakfast time here in Washington state. Mmm. French toast.

Balboa Highlands residents were equally enthusiastic about the students. "I took special notice of how observant the student teams were when studying the various models and their attention to detail," pointed out Balboa Highlands resident Adriene Biondo. "Introducing them to mid-century modern homes they've only seen in commercials and TV shows like 'CSI' is a unique and meaningful way of engaging their interest and propelling them forward in their architectural studies."
"The involvement of students from Kennedy High School has certainly made the process unique," said Katie Horak of ARG. "We almost always work with volunteers on historic resource surveys because they're labor intensive and it's important that the community be involved in the process. Working with these students has been a delight, not only because they've provided us with an excellent work product, but also because their enthusiasm and wonder has brought new vitality to our work in the area."
Many people's love of modern architecture involves some degree of nostalgia. The Student Advocates, born in the 1990s, are forging their own fresh appreciation for these homes based solely on their distinctive and timeless design.
"When I first saw the Eichler homes, I was amazed by their style and the way they looked," said Irene Guzman-Garcia, a senior, who surveyed two homes with the same flat roofline style. "One of the homes was in original condition as built. The other was modified with glass block in place of the original sash windows, the original address numbers were removed, and the sliding garage doors were replaced with a modern, roll-up style. I preferred the original home."
Remarkably, even though Kennedy High is only three miles south from Balboa Highlands, none of the students had ever seen the neighborhood in person before the first field session. This sense of collective discovery made the project all the more enjoyable, as the students saw for themselves an important part of the Valley's rich architectural history, just a short drive from where many of them grew up.
"I appreciate the architecture of the San Fernando Valley because it gives me an opportunity to see and learn about amazing buildings and their history -- without having to travel too far from home," said Guzman-Garcia. "Having the chance to learn more about the history of architecture in my own neighborhood makes me feel a sense of pride."
The Student Advocates Program is the newest component of the Los Angeles Conservancy's Youth Outreach Initiative. In addition to helping with the Balboa Highlands survey, Student Advocates explore historic buildings and districts, conduct research and file field reports, assist with Conservancy tours, and investigate central concepts of preservation policy -- empowering the students to become advocates for their local heritage and built environment.
"We are very excited to be in the early stages of what we believe will be a long and successful partnership with Kennedy High," pointed out Linda Dishman, Executive Director of the Los Angeles Conservancy. "By giving local youth a stake in the future of their historic city, we hope to cultivate a preservation ethic in the next generation of Angelenos."
It helps that these aren't just any ordinary high school students, but rather architectural design students. In their daily architecture class back at school, the students are responsible for conceptualizing all sorts of buildings, from small-scale mock-ups of surf shacks and doghouses to larger design projects, such as a theme park attraction or a Palm Springs modern home.
The Conservancy Student Advocates Program introduces an alternative aspect to the students' design education -- the idea that while there are many opportunities for trained architects to create new buildings, there are also creative and fulfilling careers in the field of historic preservation and in the restoration and rehabilitation of existing buildings.
Of course, participation in the program doesn't go unrewarded: the students earn valuable 'Service Learning' credits required for graduation. "The Student Advocates learn how to observe their surroundings, research the subject matter, and report on their findings," said Aaron Kahlenberg, the students' architecture instructor and the program's staff sponsor.
As for the students -- many of whom plan to continue studying architecture in college -- seeing the Eichlers up close isn't just of historic interest. It's also validation that one day, these students might have the opportunity to design something as beautiful and long-lasting as one of these homes.

Classical Music at the Movies: Aaron Copland, Spike Lee and "He Got Game"
The year is 1998. Filmmaker Spike Lee is ten movies into his career but things have hit a snag. The writer/director's last three movies have all been adapted from other people's material and have done so-so with both audiences and critics. The harsher among them say that Lee–successful, admired, and a long way from earlier films (like Do The Right Thing) which have his stamp on every frame–is now phoning it in. For his next

Philosophy students evaluate principles of conduct, develop standards of evidence, and learn methods for resolving conflicts and appraising arguments. The curriculum covers traditional areas of philosophy such as ethics and logic and also offers courses such as Philosophy of Culture and Biomedical Ethics.
Trinity's department of philosophy offers courses in both the history of philosophy and all of its main subfields. Some of the world's best philosophers visit the department each year, providing students the opportunity to discuss ideas with philosophers whose works they are likely to be studying in class.
A degree in philosophy prepares students to pursue the Ph.D. in philosophy or advanced law or medical degrees. Many students who major in philosophy also major in other disciplines, including English, classical studies, psychology, computer science, and chemistry.

Kim Kardashian has enough star power to freeze up any adoring fan. But the reality starlet faced some stage fright of her own when Prince called her up during a New York concert Monday night.
The singer told Kardashian to "get off the stage" during a Madison Square Garden show when she failed to groove along with him in the spotlight.
"OMG Prince just pulled me up on stage!!! I'm shaking!!!!" Kardashian tweeted from the concert, which she attended with her NBA boyfriend Kris Humphries and a couple of friends. "I was so nervous I froze when Prince touched me!"
Prince kept crowd roaring by bringing fans on stage and dancing with them. The fashionable brunette, however, was not bringing it on as he shimmied around her in his sparkling glitter suit. He eventually pointed to the stairs.
The incident got much buzz on the blogoshpere. The Village Voice's Rob Harvilla commented that Prince accomplished in a few seconds "basically what American has been trying to do for years now."
But the Kardashian's 15 seconds of Prince-filled fame were not over. The pop legend called her up again and gave her a second chance.
"Went up on stage AGAIN! This time I redeemed myself!" she Tweeted again. "We all danced while Prince played the piano! Wow! What a night!"
Apparently, no celebrity is safe from the first row of Prince's "Welcome 2 America" tour. MTV reported that a few weeks ago, "Gossip Girl" starlet Leighton Meester was brought on stage.
Video below; Kardashian enters at 1:00 minute mark.

Holy and Righteous Ioane, Stepane, and Isaiah the Georgians
Among the multitude of saints we remember those Christians who dedicated their earthly lives to glorifying God and serving others. In a single lifetime they performed all the spiritual feats of the venerable and devout fathers, confessors, and martyrs.
Among the saints canonized by the Georgian Church, only four have been called "Righteous." They are St. Ilia Chavchavadze, well known as the "father" and "uncrowned king" of the Georgian nation, and Sts. John, Steven, and Isaiah the Georgians.
It is believed that Holy John, Steven, and Isaiah lived in Jerusalem and guarded the Tomb of our Lord. It is probable that the Georgian Orthodox Church proclaimed them deserving of exceptional honor in recognition of their dedicated service at the Tomb of the Savior.
For several centuries the Georgian Church has glorified the Righteous John, Steven, and Isaiah and asked for their intercessions before the Lord.

Fortunately, some of their stories have been put together so quickly and are so sloppy that they can easily be disproved, even by a blogger in Venice that isn't an expert in anything. Call this the Case of the Plane that couldn't fly that high. Take, for example this story from the Chinese news service Xinhuanet:
RT even includes a colorful graph with their report:
Russian DM says Ukrainian fighter jet near MH17 before crash
2014-07-21 21:46:01
MOSCOW, July 21 (Xinhua) -- A Ukrainian Su-25 fighter jet was flying close to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 before it crashed in eastern Ukraine, a Russian military official said on Monday.
The Ukrainian fighter jet flew within 3-5 km of the ill-fated Malaysian airliner before it was downed, Andrei Kartopolov, chief of the main operative department of the General Staff, told reporters.
Moscow would ask for explanation from Kiev, he added. More...
Here is the problem with these reports: Malaysia Air flight MH17 was flying at 10km. attitude. The Su-25 has an operational ceiling of 7km. It simply can't fly high enough to do what the Russians are saying it was doing.
Ukrainian Su-25 fighter detected in close approach to
MH17 before crash - Moscow
Published time: July 21, 2014 12:59
The Russian military detected a Ukrainian SU-25 fighter jet gaining height towards the MH17 Boeing on the day of the catastrophe. Kiev must explain why the military jet was tracking the passenger airplane, the Russian Defense Ministry said. More...
From the Air Force Technology write up on the Su-25:
The Su-25 can climb at the rate of 58m/s. The maximum speed of the aircraft is 950km/h. The combat radius and ferry range of the aircraft are 375km and 7,500km respectively. The normal range of the Su-25 is 750km. The service ceiling is 7,000m.Wikipedia gives this as its service ceiling: 7,000 m (22,960 ft) clean, 5,000 m (16,000 ft) with max weapons. Military Factory says "Su-25's operational service ceiling is reached at approximately 23,000 feet." FighterPlanes.com agrees Ceiling: 22,965 ft
This one was just too easy to debunk. They need to get better at "fact checking" their lies before they go public with them, otherwise people might start saying RT stands for "Relative Truths."
FLASH TRAFFIC!!! As I'm about to publish, the Aviationist.com is reporting on a failed attempt to by someone with a Russian IP address to "update" the Wikipedia specifications for the Su-25! They also say the above graphic came from the Russian Defense Ministry and they note it has a US EF-111 flying close to MH17 as well as the Su-25 flying well over its ceiling.

Google Play's app serving model, called Dynamic Delivery, uses Android App Bundles to generate and serve optimized APKs for each user's device configuration, so users download only the code and resources they need to run your app. You no longer have to build, sign, and manage multiple APKs to support different devices, and users get smaller, more optimized downloads.
Most app projects won't require much effort to build app bundles that support serving optimized split APKs with Dynamic Delivery. For example, if you already organize your app's code and resources according to established conventions, simply build signed Android App Bundles using Android Studio or using the command line, and upload them to Google Play. Dynamic Delivery then becomes an automatic benefit.
To support advanced capabilities of Dynamic Delivery, such as configuring certain features of your app to be delivered conditionally or downloaded on demand, read the section on how to customize feature delivery.
Dynamic Delivery with split APKs
A fundamental component of Dynamic Delivery is the split APK mechanism available on Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher. Split APKs are very similar to regular APKs—they include compiled DEX bytecode, resources, and an Android manifest. However, the Android platform is able to treat multiple installed split APKs as a single app. That is, you can install multiple split APKs that have access to common code and resources, and appear as one installed app on the device.
The benefit of split APKs is the ability to break up a monolithic APK—that is, an APK that includes code and resources for all features and device configurations your app supports—into smaller, discrete packages that are installed on a user's device as required.
For example, one split APK may include the code and resources for an additional feature that only a few of your users need, while another split APK includes resources for only a specific language or screen density. Each of these split APKs is downloaded and installed when the user requests it or it's required by the device.
The following describes the different types of APKs that may be installed together on a device to form your full app experience. You'll learn how to configure your app project to support these APKs in later sections on this page.
- Base APK: This APK contains code and resources that all other split APKs can access and provides the basic functionality for your app. When a user requests to download your app, this APK is downloaded and installed first. That's because only the base APK's manifest contains a full declaration of your app's services, content providers, permissions, platform version requirements, and dependencies on system features. Google Play generates the base APK for your app from your project's app (or base) module. If you are concerned with reducing your app's initial download size, it's important to keep in mind that all code and resources included in this module are included in your app's base APK.
- Configuration APKs: Each of these APKs includes native libraries and resources for a specific screen density, CPU architecture, or language. When a user downloads your app, their device downloads and installs only the configuration APKs that target their device. Each configuration APK is a dependency of either a base APK or dynamic feature APK. That is, they are downloaded and installed along with the APK they provide code and resources for. Unlike the base and dynamic feature modules, you don't create a separate module for configuration APKs. If you use standard practices to organize alternative, configuration-specific resources for your base and dynamic feature modules, Google Play automatically generates configuration APKs for you.
- Dynamic feature APKs: Each of these APKs contains code and resources for a feature of your app that you modularize using dynamic feature modules. Through Dynamic Delivery, you can then customize how and when that feature is downloaded onto a device. For example, using the Play Core Library, dynamic APKs may be installed on demand after the base APK is installed on the device to provide additional functionality to the user. Consider a chat app that downloads and installs the ability to capture and send photos only when the user requests to use that functionality. Because dynamic features may not be available at install time, you should include any common code and resources in the base APK. That is, your dynamic feature should assume that code and resources of only the base APK are available at install time. Google Play generates dynamic feature APKs for your app from your project's dynamic feature modules.
Consider an app with three dynamic feature modules and support for multiple device configurations. Figure 1 below illustrates what the dependency tree for the app's various APKs may look like. Note that the base APK forms the head of the tree, and all other APKs depend on the base APK. (If you're curious about how the modules for these APKs are represented in an Android App Bundle, see The Android App Bundle format.)
Keep in mind, you don't need to build these APKs yourself—Google Play does it for you using a single signed app bundle you build with Android Studio. To learn more about the app bundle format and how to build one, go to Build, deploy, and upload Android App Bundles.
Devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and lower
Because devices running Android 4.4 (API level 19) and lower don't support downloading and installing split APKs, Google Play instead serves those devices a single APK, called a multi-APK, that's optimized for the device's configuration. That is, multi-APKs represent your full app experience but do not include unnecessary code and resources—such as those for other screen densities and CPU architectures.
They do, however, include resources for all languages that your app supports. This allows, for example, users to change your app's preferred language setting without having to download a different multi-APK.
Multi-APKs do not have the ability to later download dynamic features modules on demand. To include a dynamic module in this APK, you must either disable On-demand or enable Fusing when creating the dynamic feature module.
Keep in mind, with Dynamic Delivery, you don't need to build, sign, upload, and manage APKs for each device configuration your app supports. You still build and upload only a single app bundle for your entire app, and Google Play takes care of the rest for you. So whether or not you plan to support devices running Android 4.4 or lower, Dynamic Delivery provides a flexible serving mechanism for both you and your users.
Modularize your app
Modularizing your app is the process of separating logical components of your app project into discrete modules.
Reorganizing your app's functionality into these discrete components takes careful consideration and time. However, modularization provides your project with the following benefits:
- Develop in parallel: By separating logical components of your app into modules, different teams or individuals in your organization can take ownership of each module and work on them with fewer merge conflicts or disruptions to other teams. Additionally, if you have logic that's used in various parts of your app, you can use library modules to promote code reuse and encapsulation.
- Improve build times: Build systems, such as the Android Studio build system using Gradle, are optimized for projects that are organized into modules. For example, if you enable Gradle's parallel project execution optimization on a workstation includes a multi-core processor, the build system is able to build multiple modules in parallel and significantly reduce build times. The more modular your project is, the more significant the build performance improvement becomes.
- Customize feature delivery: Modularizing your app's features as dynamic feature modules is a requirement to take advantage of Dynamic Delivery's custom delivery options, such as on demand, conditional, and instant delivery. Creating on demand dynamic features requires more effort and possible refactoring of your app. So, consider carefully which of your app's features would benefit the most from being modularized into dynamic features and benefiting from custom delivery options.
Modularizing your project by app features takes time and consideration to do properly. When you do decide to begin modularizing your app, you should first configure your base module with the properties necessary to support modular features. Then, you can gradually modularize your app's features without changing the current behavior of your app by configuring dynamic feature modules for at-install delivery.
Use dynamic feature modules for custom delivery
A unique benefit of Dynamic Delivery is the ability to customize how and when different features of your app are downloaded onto devices running Android 5.0 (API level 21) or higher. For example, to reduce the initial download size of your app, you can configure certain features to be either downloaded as needed on demand or only by devices that support certain capabilities, such as the ability to take pictures or support augmented reality features.
Although you get highly optimized downloads by default when you upload your app as an app bundle, the more advanced and customizable feature delivery options require additional configuration and modularization of your app's features using dynamic feature modules. That is, dynamic feature modules provide the building blocks for creating modular features that you can configure to each be downloaded as needed.
Consider an app that allows your users to buy and sell goods in an online marketplace. You can reasonably modularize each of the following functionalities of the app into separate dynamic feature modules:
- Account login and creation
- Browsing the marketplace
- Placing an item for sale
- Processing payments
The table below describes the different delivery options that dynamic feature modules support, and how they might be used to optimize the initial download size of the sample marketplace app.
|Delivery option
|Sample use-case
|Getting started
|At-install delivery
|Dynamic feature modules that don't configure any of the delivery options
described above are downloaded at app install, by default. This is an
important behavior because it means that you can adopt advanced delivery
options gradually. For example, you can benefit from modularizing your
app's features and enable on demand delivery only after you've fully
implemented on demand downloads using the Play Core library.
In addition, your app can request to uninstall features at a later time. So, if you require certain features at app install, but not after that, you can reduce install size by requesting to remove the feature from the device.
|If the app has certain training activities, such as an interactive guide
on how to buy and sell items in the marketplace, you can include that
feature at app install, by default.
However, to reduce the installed size of the app, the app can request to delete the feature after the user has completed the training.
|Modularize your app using dynamic feature
modules that configure no advanced delivery options.
To learn how to reduce the installed size of your app by removing certain dynamic feature modules that the user may no longer need, read Manage installed modules.
|On demand delivery
|Allows your app to request and download dynamic feature modules as needed.
|If only 20% of those who use the marketplace app post items for sale, a
good strategy to reduce the initial download size for the majority of users
is to make the functionality for taking pictures, including an item
description, and placing an item for sale available as an on demand
download. That is, you can configure the dynamic feature module for the
selling functionality of the app to be downloaded only when a user shows
interest in placing items for sale onto the marketplace.
Additionally, if the user no longer sells items after a certain period of time, the app can reduce its installed sized by requesting to uninstall the feature.
|Create a dynamic feature module and configure on demand delivery. Your app can then use the Play Core library to request to download the module on demand.
|Conditional delivery
|Allows you to specify certain user device requirements, such as hardware features, locale, and minimum API level to determine whether a modularized feature is downloaded at app install.
|If the marketplace app has global reach, you might need to support payment methods that are popular in only certain regions or locals. In order to reduce the initial app download size, you can create separate dynamic feature modules for processing certain types of payment methods and have them installed conditionally on a user's device based on their registered locale.
|Create a dynamic feature module and configure conditional delivery.
|Instant delivery
|Google Play Instant
allows users to interact with your app without needing to install APK(s)
on their device. Instead, they can experience your app through the "Try
Now" button on the Google Play Store or a URL that you create. This form of
delivering content makes it easier for you to increase engagement with your
With instant delivery, you can utilize Google Play Instant to allow your users to instantly experience certain features of your app without installation.
|Consider a game that include the first few levels of the game in a lightweight dynamic feature module. You can instant-enable that module so that users can instantly experience the game through a URL link or "Try Now" button, without app installation.
|Create a dynamic feature module and
instant delivery. Your app can then use the
Play Core library to request to
download the module on demand.
Keep in mind, modularizing your app features using dynamic feature modules is only the first step. To support Google Play Instant, the download size of the base module of your app and a given instant-enabled dynamic feature must satisfy strict size restrictions. To learn more, read Enable instant experiences by reducing app or game size.
Dynamic feature module manifest
When creating a new dynamic feature module using Android Studio, the IDE includes most of the manifest attributes that the module requires to behave like a dynamic feature. Additionally, some attributes are injected by the build system at compile time, so you needn't specify or modify them yourself. The following table describes the manifest attributes that are important to dynamic feature modules.
|This is your typical
<manifest> block.
|Specifies a new
dist: XML namespace that's
described further below.
When Android Studio builds your app bundle, it includes this
attribute for you. So, you should not include or modify
this attribute yourself.
Defines the name of the module, which your app specifies when requesting an on demand module using the Play Core Library.
How Gradle determines the value for this attribute:
By default, when you create a dynamic feature module using Android Studio, The IDE uses what you specify as its Module name to identify the module as a Gradle subproject in your Gradle settings file.
When you build your app bundle, Gradle uses the last element of
the subproject path to inject this manifest attribute in the module's
manifest. For example, if you create a new dynamic feature module in
android:isFeatureSplit="true | false">
When Android Studio builds your app bundle, it includes
this attribute for you. So, you should not include
or modify this attribute manually.
Specifies that this module is a dynamic feature module.
Manifests in the base module and configuration APKs either
omit this attribute or set it to
|This new XML element defines attributes that determine how the module is packaged and distributed as APKs.
dist:instant="true | false"
Specifies whether the module should be available through
Google Play Instant as
an instant experience.
If your app includes one or more instant-enabled dynamic feature modules, you must also instant-enable the base module. When using Android Studio 3.5 or higher, the IDE does this for you when you create a instant-enabled dynamic feature module.
You can't set this XML element to

the device may display this title when it requests download
You need to include the string resource for this title
in the base module's

Specifies that the module should be available at install time. This is the
default behavior for dynamic feature modules that do not specify another
type of custom delivery option.
To learn more about at-install downloads, read Configure at-install delivery.
This node is can also specify conditions that limit the module to devices that meet certain requirements, such as device features, user country, or minimum API level. To learn more, read Configure conditional delivery.
<dist:removable value="true | false" />

Specifies that the module should be available as an on demand
download. That is, the module is not available at install time, but your
app may request to download it later.
To learn more about on demand downloads, read Configure on demand delivery.
If the dynamic feature module generates no DEX files—that is, it contains
no code that is later compiled into the DEX file format—you must do the
following (otherwise, you may get runtime errors):
Test Dynamic Delivery
The best way to test Dynamic Delivery is through the Google Play Store. That's because a lot of the benefits of Dynamic Delivery rely on deferring optimized APK generation, signing, and serving to the Play Store. So, whether you include basic support for Dynamic Delivery by uploading an app bundle or configure custom delivery options, you should use the following methods to test your app with Dynamic Delivery"
- Share your app with a URL. This is the fastest way to upload your app bundle and share your app as a Google Play Store link with trusted testers. Additionally, this is the fastest way to test custom delivery options, such as downloading features on demand.
- Set up an open, closed, or internal test. This method provides structured test channels and is a good way to test the final release version of your app before you roll it out to external users.
Building a URI for a resource
If you want to access a resource stored in a dynamic feature module using a
URI, here's how to generate a dynamic feature resource URI using
val uri = Uri.Builder() .scheme(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE) .authority(context.getPackageName()) // Look up the resources in the application with its splits loaded .appendPath(resources.getResourceTypeName(resId)) .appendPath(String.format("%s:%s", resources.getResourcePackageName(resId), // Look up the dynamic resource in the split namespace. resources.getResourceEntryName(resId) )) .build()
String uri = Uri.Builder() .scheme(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE) .authority(context.getPackageName()) // Look up the resources in the application with its splits loaded .appendPath(resources.getResourceTypeName(resId)) .appendPath(String.format("%s:%s", resources.getResourcePackageName(resId), // Look up the dynamic resource in the split namespace. resources.getResourceEntryName(resId) )) .build().toString();
Each part of the path to the resource is constructed at run time, ensuring that the correct namespace is generated after the split APKs have been loaded.
As an example of how the URI is generated, suppose you have an app and dynamic feature with these names:
- App package name:
- Feature's resources package name:
If the
resId in the code snippet above refers to a raw file resource named
"my_video" in your dynamic feature, then the
Uri.Builder() code above would
output the following:
This URI can then be used by your app to access the dynamic feature's resource.
To validate the paths in your URI, you can use the APK Analyzer to inspect your dynamic feature APK and determine the package name:
Considerations for dynamic features
If you want to publish an app that includes dynamic feature modules to a production track, keep the following considerations in mind:
- Installing 50 or more dynamic feature modules on a single device might lead to performance issues. To avoid this, consider using the Play Core Library to uninstall modules that the user no longer needs.
- Limit the number of modules you configure for at-install delivery to 10 or less. Otherwise, the download and install time of your app might increase.
- Only devices running Android 5.0 (API level 21) and higher support downloading and installing dynamic features on demand. To make your dynamic feature available to earlier versions of Android, make sure to enable Fusing when you create a dynamic feature module.
- Make sure you enable SplitCompat, so that your app has access to downloaded dynamic feature modules.
- If the download size for your dynamic feature is large, your app needs to obtain user confirmation before it can download the dynamic feature module to a device.
- Dynamic feature modules should not specify activities in their manifest with
android:exportedset to
true. That's because there's no guarantee that the device has downloaded the dynamic feature module when another app tries to launch the activity. Additionally, your app should confirm that a dynamic feature is downloaded before trying to access its code and resources. To learn more, read Manage installed modules.
- Because dynamic delivery requires you to publish your app using an app bundle, make sure that you're aware of app bundle known issues.

Beach Elementary School officials have found a new, creative and visual way of praising their superlative contributing businesses from their biggest fundraiser of the year.
Five fund plaques are on display in the reception area at the Beach school and boast the "Elite Sponsors" from last year's Beach Elementary School's Parent Teacher Organization Golf Tournament and Pre-Golf Tournament Blowout.
The five fund plaques are titled "The World of Reading Fund," "Bringing Outside Arts In Fund," "Technology/Software Fund," "School Beautification Fund" and "5th Grade Graduation Fund."
Article Photos
Beach Elementary PTO President Kathy Trent stands under the five fund plaques in the school's reception area for all staff, students and visitors to see.
Teacher Kathy Trent, president of the Beach Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, said PTO member Ginger Weber was the brainchild for the fund plaques.
"I believe she was the one who came up with the idea as a new way of raising funds for the golf tournament. She picked five areas that she thought the school would really need help with," said Trent.
Before the fund plaque idea, golf event sponsors were recognized by different tiers to designate their monetary contributions.
"Instead of somebody just donating money, the (elite sponsors) will know where their money will go towards," Trent said. "It's nice to recognize these people. A $1,000 donation is a lot of money to a school."
Trent explained what each of the involved fundraising avenues would aid in. For example, Reading would help Book Battle, Accelerated Reading or library books; Outside Arts in community theaters or other art groups coming into school grounds to perform; Technology in criterion writing, third grade level Virtual math and other grade's needs; Beautification in planted trees or improving the landscape on school grounds; and Graduation in enabling the fifth graders to have their end-of-school graduation and activities.
So far, each plaque bears one business for each subject: The World of Reading Fund has Bonita Dental Care ($1,000 contribution); Bringing Outside Arts In Fund has Fort Myers Beach Community Foundation ($1,000 contribution); Technology/Software Fund has Nervous Nellies Crazy Waterfront Eatery ($1,000 contribution); School Beautification Fund has Sarah Lynch Counseling ($1,000 contribution); and 5th Grade Graduation Fund has Beach Kiwanis ($1,700 contribution).
"Beach Kiwanis usually pay for the bus for the fifth grade field trip," said Trent. "Now, they are donating it to the fund."
Whoever donates $1,000 or more for next year's golf tournament (scheduled in May) will have their name put on the plaque.
"When we get ready to do the golf fund, we will send out information through Constant Contact (an email, event, and social media marketing tool) and phone calls," said Trent.
Beach Elementary Principal Larry Wood is grateful for all supporters and calls the plaques a "sampling of the support" that comes their way.
"We are very fortunate that people in this community support us to the degree that they do," he said. "I'm proud to display these plaques in our office. I hope everybody gets a chance to see them."

Chris Smith remembered his Kris Kross hip-hop partner Chris Kelly Thursday as a true friend who he's sure is in heaven now.
Smith struggled to blurt out words at the pulpit of Jackson Baptist Memorial Church at Kelly's funeral attended by some 300 friends, family and fellow entertainers.
The 34-year-old Kelly, who had the 1992 hit "Jump" with Smith, was found dead May 1 of a suspected drug overdose. His mother and uncle told authorities Kelly had a history of drug abuse and experienced similar episodes in the past, according to a police report.
U.S. & World
"It's been a struggle for me every day, but there was a peace that came over me this morning because I know he's in heaven," Smith said, as tears fell down his face.
Before the service began, Smith walked into the church alongside rapper-producer Jermaine Dupri, who discovered the 1990s teen duo, at an Atlanta mall. Smith also talked about the last time performed he and Kelly performed together at the 20th anniversary of Durpri's label, So So Def., in late February.
"We had so many memories," Smith said. "He was a true friend. He wanted to see if I was all right. So I just want to say I love you man and I'll miss you."
Robert Barber, who described himself as a father figure to Kelly, said Kelly told him that he felt fulfilled after that performance.
"He called me and said, 'Unc, I feel alive,'" Barber recalled.
Other notables at the funeral were singer Chico DeBarge, rapper Da Brat, gospel singer Keke Wyatt, manager Michael Mauldin, DJ Nabs and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle. DeBarge performed "I Won't Complain" and Keke Wyatt sang "Eye on the Sparrow."
Throughout the nearly two-hour service, numerous photos were shown behind the pulpit of Kelly posing with music legends such as Michael Jackson, Gerald Levert and Patti LaBelle.
Two of the four members of the band Xscape, sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott, also performed.
"He just wanted to smile. That's all he wanted," Tamika Scott said when she arrived. "He was known to be a happy person."
Da Brat tried to speak to reporters when she arrived but stopped when she got choked up and went on into the church.
Kris Kross was introduced to the music world in 1992 by Dupri after he discovered the pair at Greenbriar Mall in southwest Atlanta. Kelly was known as "Mac Daddy" and Smith was known as "Daddy Mac."
The duo wore their clothes backward as a gimmick, but they won over fans with their infectious rap hooks.
"Jump" was the duo's first, and by far most successful song. The hit was off their multiplatinum 1992 debut album "Totally Krossed Out," featured the two trading verses and rapping the refrain, the song's title. The duo had surprising maturity in their rap delivery, though the song was written by Dupri. It would become a No. 1 smash in the United States and globally, and one of the most popular of that year.
