Leonardo Bonucci (Italian pronunciation: [leoˈnardo boˈnuttʃi]; born 1 May 1987) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Juventus and the Italy national team.
After beginning his career with Inter Milan in 2005, Bonucci spent the next few seasons on loan at Treviso and Pisa, before moving to Bari in 2009. His technique, ball-playing ability and defensive performances alongside fellow Italian centre-back Andrea Ranocchia earned him a move to Juventus the following season, where he later became a key member of the club's three-man defensive line, alongside Giorgio Chiellini and Andrea Barzagli, establishing himself as one of the best defenders in world football. He went on to win six consecutive Serie A titles with the team between 2012 and 2017. In 2017, he moved to A.C. Milan, and one season later returned to Juventus.
At international level, Bonucci has represented Italy at two FIFA World Cups (2010 and 2014), two European Championships (2012 and 2016), and a FIFA Confederations Cup (2013), winning a runners-up medal at Euro 2012, and a third-place medal at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Bonucci has also won several individual honours for his performances: he was named to the UEFA Europa League Squad of the season during the 2013–14 and 2017–18 seasons, and is a three-time member of the Serie A Team of the Year. He was named the Serie A Footballer of the Year in 2016, and was also included in the UEFA Team of the Year in the same season. In 2017, he was also included in the FIFA FIFPro World XI and the IFFHS Men's World Team, as well as the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League Team of the Season and the 2016–17 ESM Team of the Year.
Bonucci started his career in the youth ranks of his hometown club Viterbese but was loaned to Inter Milan in the summer of 2005. He played a number of pre-season friendlies for the Inter first team. He then became a member of the Inter U20 team.
On 14 May 2006, Bonucci made his Serie A debut in the last match of the 2005–06 season, in a 2–2 away draw against Cagliari, which was Inter's 3,500th competitive match. On 7 July 2006, Inter bought Bonucci outright.
He played his first Coppa Italia match against Messina on 9 November 2006 when he came off the bench for Fabio Grosso in the 86th minute. Bonucci featured in two more Coppa Italia games for Inter that season when he was brought on for the substituted Walter Samuel at half-time during the quarter final second leg match against Empoli, and as a starter in the semi final second leg tie against Sampdoria.
In January 2007, Inter sold 50% of Bonucci's registration rights to Treviso, along with 50% of the registration rights for fellow Primavera team-mate Daniel Maa Boumsong. At that time Bonucci was tagged for a peppercorn fee of €500. Bonucci subsequently remained at Inter until 30 June 2007 while Maa Boumsong returned from Treviso where he spent the first half of the season on loan. During Bonucci's last season with the Inter's youth side, he won the Campionato Nazionale Primavera (the national youth league title).
On 1 July 2007, Bonucci and Maa Boumsong formally became players of Treviso after their loan contract back to Inter had expired, as well as the renewal of the co-ownerships in June 2007. At Treviso, Bonucci made 20 starts in 27 Serie B appearances as one of the regular starters.
In June 2008, among the other Inter youth products, Bonucci was the only player that was bought back from Treviso. However, he was loaned back to Treviso for the 2008–09 season. According to a Treviso filing named Tabella N°5 – circolare Co.Vi.So.C. prot. N°4051.4/GC/pc del 11 maggio 2005 in their 2007–08 financial report, Bonucci was sold for a €700,000 fee.
Bonucci played 13 Serie B matches for Treviso before leaving for another Serie B struggler Pisa on loan.
On 8 June 2009, Bonucci underwent a medical examination at Genoa. On 1 July, Inter officially announced that Bonucci, along with Acquafresca, Bolzoni and Meggiorini had been transferred to Genoa, as part of the deal that sent Diego Milito and Thiago Motta to Inter. Moreover, Ivan Fatić who was co-contracted ("co-owned") between Chievo and Inter, became co-contracted between Chievo and Genoa instead, according to a news article by La Gazzetta dello Sport. Bonucci was valued at €3 million at that time.
On 2 July he was transferred to Bari from Genoa, on a co-ownership deal, for €1.75 million, along with Meggiorini (also on a co-ownership deal), Matteo Paro (on loan), Andrea Ranocchia (on loan) and Giuseppe Greco (on loan).
At Bari he became a first team player in central defence under head coach Gian Piero Ventura, showing a composed yet strong and effective defensive playing style. He formed an extremely strong defensive partnership with Andrea Ranocchia which was so effective that, as of the midway point in the 2009–10 season, Bari had the second best defensive record in Serie A. The strong partnership ended after Ranocchia got injured half-way through the season and was ruled out for the remaining fixtures.
On 1 July 2010, Bonucci was signed by Juventus on a four-year contract for a total of €15.5 million fee from Bari; Bari bought Bonucci from Genoa outright for €8 million. However, Genoa and Bari used part of the transfer receivables to sign the remaining 50% registration rights of Domenico Criscito and 50% of the registration rights of Sergio Bernardo Almirón from Juventus. Bonucci was assigned the shirt number 19.
Partnered with Italy teammate Giorgio Chiellini in defence, Bonucci was immediately drafted into the starting line-up for the first matches of the season. He scored his first goal for Juventus in the Europa League play-off match against Sturm Graz.
The following season, due to the presence of veteran of Andrea Barzagli, it was expected that Bonucci would compete with him for a starting place alongside Chiellini in a four-man defence, as the club's new manager Antonio Conte was known for his preference for the 4–2–4 formation, a variant upon the 4–4–2 formation. However, after experimenting with several tactical systems, Conte eventually decided to play all three players in a three-man defence aided by wingbacks in a 3–5–2 formation, and Bonucci established himself once again in the starting eleven alongside Chiellini and Barzagli. Due to their performances together, the three-man defence earned the nickname BBC, a reference to the players' initials. Soon, the trio established themselves as one of the best defences in world football during the following seasons. On 2 April 2012 Juventus announced that he had signed a new 5-year contract effective on 1 July 2012. Bonucci won his first major title, the 2011–12 Scudetto, and contributed two goals as Juventus finished the season undefeated and with one of the best defensive records in the top five European leagues. His good form that season earned him a place in the final UEFA Euro 2012 squad.
Bonucci began the season by winning the 2012 Supercoppa Italiana with Juventus. He made his Champions League debut against Chelsea in the group stage and scored his first goal in the competition against Shaktar Donetsk on October 2012 in a 1–1 draw. On December 2012 Bonucci was criticized for diving in a league game against Palermo on which was described by a number of journalists as "the worst dive ever". He was booked by the referee during the game and subsequently given a one-match ban and a €2000 fine by the authorities. Juventus finished the season by winning the 2012–13 Serie A title.
The following season, Bonucci would help Juventus to defend the Supercoppa Italiana and the Serie A title, although Juventus would suffer a group-stage elimination in the UEFA Champions League. Nevertheless, he helped Juventus to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League, scoring a decisive goal against Lyon in the quarter-finals.
During the 2014–15 season, Bonucci made his 200th appearance with Juventus on 25 January 2015, in a 2–0 win over Chievo. On 6 June 2015, Bonucci started for Juventus in the 2015 UEFA Champions League Final, but were defeated 3–1 by Barcelona at Berlin's Olympiastadion. With 52 appearances, he made the most appearances for Juventus that season across all competitions, along with team-mates Claudio Marchisio and Roberto Pereyra. On 24 November 2015, Bonucci was nominated for the 2015 UEFA Team of the Year. On 2 March 2016, he captained Juventus in the absence of Gianluigi Buffon and Chiellini, scoring the decisive penalty in the resulting shoot-out of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals against Inter, at the San Siro, following a 3–3 draw on aggregate, which allowed Juventus to progress to the final; however, due to the yellow card he received during the match, and having already been booked prior to the fixture, he missed the victorious final against Milan, which saw Juventus capture a domestic double for the second consecutive season, including a record fifth consecutive league title.
During the beginning of the 2016–17 season, Bonucci dedicated time to his ill son Matteo, missing select matches with Juventus and the national team. On 27 November, Bonucci suffered a severe thigh strain in an eventual 3–1 away loss to Genoa, sidelining him for up to 60 days. On 19 December, Bonucci penned a new deal with Juventus, keeping him at the club until 2021. On 5 January 2017, Bonucci was named to the 2016 UEFA Team of the Year. On 30 January, Bonucci was named to the 2015–16 Serie A Team of the Year, and was also named the 2016 Serie A Footballer of the Year. Bonucci made his 300th Juventus appearance in a 4–1 home win over Palermo on 17 February; however, after Palermo scored a late goal, Bonucci had an argument on the touchline with coach Massimiliano Allegri, causing the club to fine and omit him from the squad for the first Champions League round of 16 leg with Porto on 22 February. On 17 May, Bonucci scored the last goal of a 2–0 win in the final of the 2016–17 Coppa Italia over Lazio. On 3 June, Bonucci started in a second Champions League Final in three years, but were defeated 4–1 by defending champions Real Madrid. On 5 June, he was subsequently named to the UEFA Champions League squad of the season.
On 14 July 2017, Bonucci was signed by A.C. Milan on a five-year contract for a €42 million fee. On 4 August 2017, Bonucci was named one of the three finalists for the Defender of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League season award. Milan's manager Vincenzo Montella subsequently named Bonucci as the team's new captain later that month. On 23 October, he was named to the 2017 FIFA FIFPro World11. Although much was expected of Bonucci and Milan, the first half of the 2017–18 season was disappointing both for him and the club, and he drew criticism in the media over the quality of his performances. He scored his first goal for Milan on 6 January 2018, in a 1–0 home win over Crotone. On 31 March, Bonucci scored the equalising goal against his former team away to Juventus, breaking goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon's record of longest consecutive minutes not conceded in an eventual 3–1 defeat.
On 2 August 2018, Bonucci returned to Juventus as part of a swap deal with A.C. Milan involving Mattia Caldara; both Bonucci and Caldara were tagged for €35 million transfer fee. He signed a five-year contract until 30 June 2023. Bonucci made his return for Juventus in their opening Serie A match on 18 August, a 3–2 away win over Chievo, contributing to Juventus's temporary equaliser, an own goal by Mattia Bani. On 29 September 2018, Bonucci scored his first goal for Juventus since his return from Milan, the final goal of a 3–1 home win over Napoli. On 2 October, he made his 50th Champions League appearance in a 3–0 home win over Young Boys. On 2 April 2019, Bonucci marked his 250th Serie A appearance with Juventus by scoring the opening goal in a 2–0 away win against Cagliari. However, following the match, he was heavily criticised after stating that Kean was partly to blame by his celebration which caused further jeers, by England international Raheem Sterling who deemed the comments 'laughable', compatriot Mario Balotelli, English singer Stormzy, and former Juventus player Paul Pogba. Bonucci implied that Kean's celebration caused further jeers, stating to Sky Sport Italia: "Kean knows that when he scores a goal, he has to focus on celebrating with his teammates. He knows he could've done something differently too. There were racist jeers after the goal, Blaise heard it and was angered. I think the blame is 50–50, because Moise shouldn't have done that and the Curva should not have reacted that way. We are professionals, we have to set the example and not provoke anyone." Later, he made a post on Instagram which read "Regardless of everything, in any case... no to racism." In response to the criticism, the following day, Bonucci posted on Instagram: "After 24 hours I want to clarify my feelings. Yesterday I was interviewed right at the end of the game, and my words have been clearly misunderstood, probably because I was too hasty in the way I expressed my thoughts. Hours and years wouldn't be enough to talk about this topic. I firmly condemn all forms of racism and discrimination. The abuses are not acceptable at all and this must not be misunderstood."
At youth level, Bonucci played for the Italy national under-21 football B team. He was called-up for a friendlies against Renate on 6 November 2007, and against the Under-20 Serie C representative team on 4 December 2007. He was also capped for the team in an internal friendly, which split the Under-21 Serie B team into two on 9 October 2007, on 21 October 2008, on 25 November, and on 24 March 2009, as team captain.
He also received a call-up from the Italy U20 team on 31 May 2007. He was an unused substitute in the 0–1 loss to the Serie D Best XI.
Bonucci made his debut with the Italy senior team on 3 March 2010, under manager Marcello Lippi, in a friendly match against Cameroon played in Monaco, which ended in a 0–0 draw, and became one of the few debutants to have never played an official match for the national youth teams. He was included by manager Marcello Lippi in the starting line-up along with national team regulars Fabio Cannavaro and Giorgio Chiellini, forming a three-man defensive line in Lippi's 3–4–3 formation.
Due to his performances during the 2009–10 season, Bonucci was included in the Italy squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He scored his international first goal on 3 June 2010, in a 1–2 friendly loss against Mexico, in a pre-tournament friendly match. In the World Cup, he appeared as an unused substitute for all three of Italy's matches, as they suffered a first-round elimination, failing to win a match.
Bonucci ended a fine 2011–12 season by earning a place in the final 23-man Italy squad for UEFA Euro 2012, under manager Cesare Prandelli, helping Italy to reach the final of the tournament, where they were defeated 4–0 by defending champions Spain. He started in all but one match as Italy reached the finals.
In the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup he missed his spot-kick in the penalty shoot-out against Spain in the semi-finals, shooting high over the bar as Italy went out of the competition losing 7–6 on penalties; Italy would win the bronze medal match over Uruguay 4–3 on penalties, after a 2–2 draw following extra-time, allowing them to capture third place.
Bonucci was selected by Cesare Prandelli to be part of the Italy squad that would take part at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, although he once again remained an unused substitute, as they were eliminated in the first round of the competition for a second consecutive time.
On 4 September 2014, under new Italy manager Antonio Conte, Bonucci wore the captain's armband for Italy for the first time, following Daniele De Rossi's substitution in a 2–0 friendly win over the Netherlands.
On 31 May 2016, Bonucci was named to Conte's 23-man Italy squad for UEFA Euro 2016. On 13 June he set up Emanuele Giaccherini's goal, Italy's first of the match, with a long ball in a 2–0 win over Belgium in the opening group match of Euro 2016; he was later booked for a tactical foul. After helping Italy to another clean-sheet in a 1–0 victory in the second group match against Sweden on 17 June, Bonucci was once again praised for his defensive performances alongside Chiellini and Barzagli. On 22 June, he captained Italy in Buffon's absence in his nation's final group match, a 1–0 defeat to Ireland. On 27 June he produced a Man of the Match performance in the round of 16 of the tournament as he helped Italy to keep a third clean sheet and defeat defending champions Spain 2–0. In the quarter-final fixture against Germany on 2 July, he scored Italy's equalising goal from a penalty, although his spot-kick was saved by Manuel Neuer in the resulting shoot-out, as the reigning World Cup champions advanced to the semi-finals following a 6–5 shoot-out victory.
A former midfielder who is usually deployed as ball-playing centre-back in a three-man defence (although he is also capable of playing in a four-man defence, both in the centre or out wide), Bonucci is primarily known for his technique, passing range, and his ability to launch an attack from the back with long passes. Although he is not the quickest player over short distances, he is a tall, mobile, and strong defender, with a good positional sense, as well as good anticipation, solid tackling, and an ability to read the game and mark opponents, on top of his ball skills; he also excels in the air, and frequently poses a goal threat from set pieces. Although he was considered to be a talented and promising young defender, he was also criticised by certain pundits for being inconsistent and prone to errors or lapses in concentration in his youth, which were dubbed "Bonucciate" in the Italian media; however, he showed notable improvements during the 2014–15 season, and established himself as one of the best defenders in world football, also drawing praise from manager Pep Guardiola, who described Bonucci as one of his "favourite ever players". His unique playing style has led Giovanni Galli to compare him to former sweeper Gaetano Scirea. In 2012, The Guardian named him the 88th Best Player in the World. In 2016, his defensive attributes, as well as his skill on the ball, vision, and accurate passing, moved La Repubblica to dub him as "Beckenbonucci", a reference to former German sweeper Franz Beckenbauer. In addition to his defensive, playmaking and technical skills, Bonucci has also been praised for his leadership.
"For three or four months, my head was just not in the right place, it's the head that gets the legs moving. For around 15 days after the surgery, until I started to see him improving, I was just not interested in training or anything to do with football. I've always hated hospitals and tried to avoid them, but at that time I had to be there and I was really struggling to be calm. Matteo is much better now and our family feels more united than ever. Yes, I thought about quitting. Football was just not my priority at that moment. You see your son with so much to live for, he's asking you so many questions and why this is happening to him... and I had no answers. Priorities change at those times. Now I tell myself that I am lucky. Everything I have done has been from the heart."
Bonucci's older brother, Riccardo (b. November 1982), was also a footballer who once played as a central defender in Serie C1 with Viterbese. Their father owns a paint shop in Viterbo.
In May 2012, during the 2011–12 Italian football scandal investigations, Bonucci, along with Juventus teammate Simone Pepe and manager Antonio Conte, as well as many other players, were accused of match-fixing; Bonucci was accused of helping to fix the result of a 3–3 draw against Udinese in May 2010, during his time with Bari, and faced a potential three-and-a-half year ban if found guilty. Bonucci denied any wrongdoing, however, and both he and Pepe were later acquitted in August later that year.
In October 2012, Bonucci and his wife and then five-month-old son were confronted by an armed robber who demanded the defender to hand over his watch. As the robber reached out to take the watch, Bonucci reportedly punched him and chased him down the street. The robber escaped with his accomplice on a motorbike.

…I knew nothing of camera settings and photo editing.
I'm still no professional, but I have learned a bit.
But I'm going to pull 4 pictures out of the vault…to show you how to make these chocolate bunnies.
Trace 2 bunnies and cut out.
Sew or glue together leaving a hole at the bottom for the poly fill.
Sew or glue the opening closed.
I just love how they look on my Easter table.
The first year I made them I tied orange and white gingham ribbon around them, but this year I'm liking less color.
I'm sticking more to the whites and pale pinks.
By next year I could be back to color again.
But if that's the case, the little brown bunnies should still work!
Who knows…they might be sporting metallic gold ribbon by next year?!
I was going to make a joke about gold leaf bunnies, but then I thought, hey, that might actually look really cool! :). And if anyone can gold-leaf a bunny, it's you!
And what I forgot to say is, your Easter table is gorgeous!!
Must make some chocolate bunnies and the best part–non fat chocolate bunnies.
So darn CUTE! Table does look beautiful and I see that adorable grapevine bunny is welcomed guest – love it!
I love your styling. I too have gone more neutral this year with decorating my home and tablescapes. I LOVE your chocolate felt bunnies….low cal too! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I definitely need a few of those felt bunnies!
SO ADORABLE…and LOVE your plate setting!!!!! Can I ask where to get this setting from????? THANKS!!!
such a cute idea! love that it is an upcycled craft, too!
Definitely think the sweater turned felt has a nicer cozier look for the bunnies. So cute as always. Don't think there's anything I didn't love that I saw. Your dishes are very delicate looking but so pretty, love the very subtle pattern on them.
Shucks I forgot to look for the wreaths yesterday at $tree so I could make one of your bigger bunnies. We didn't go to $tree I like. I have several templates I can use to make the "chocolate" felt bunnies.
I've got to stay away from Easter candy. Luckily (if there's anything good about losing all my bottom teeth) I can't eat most of anything I used to stuff in my face all too often anymore, lol. Have one tooth on bottom so loose I wish it would come out, hurts like the dickens.
Hope you're having a great Spring so far. How's your Mom doing? Hope she's recovering well. Happy spring days.
Such a clever and charming idea! A sweater! Who would have thought?
Adorable project. I'm sure the kids love them too!
What an awesome table favor idea! And, your decorations look gorgeous! Can I come to your house for Easter? 😉 Pinning this sweet post.
I adore these beautiful bunnies… and your dining room styled for Easter is just wonderful!
I am always inspired by your creativity!
This is adorable and I love your plate setting. I just wanted to let you know that I am linking to this post on 4/3 at Simply Creative Living if you don't mind.
This is so adorable and I love your table setting. I just wanted to let you know that I am linking to this post on 4/3 at Simply Creative Living if you don't mind.
I love these "chocolate" bunnies! I'm going to be making them for my five grandchildren. Their parents don't allow candy, so what is a Grandma to do? This is the best non-candy idea I've seen in years! Thank you for sharing!
The bunny is so, so cute!
May be too close to Easter to get these bunnies made by me, but I do have some brown felt handy. Way too cute. Beautiful tablescape. I too am new to the blog world. I've only posted 2 times so far. Relying on iPad photos for now until I have more time this summer to study my digital camera.
Seriously adorable! I love had they complete your plate stack! Pinning!
So cute! I love your place setting.
Beautiful room and table! I love your style! I wasn't planning on doing anything special for my Easter table this year. Your idea has made me think twice about that plan. Now the ideas are flowing. Thanks for sharing. Pinning.
ps who makes your flatware on this particular post? It is different and I really like it.
I will be making the felt bunnies for Easter this year. My 10 yr old son wants to learn to sew; I think this is a perfect project for that.
fabric-lined "table." What a GREAT, inexpensive idea!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I guess I should have said your dining room "buffet table"! It will be MY entryway table!
Love this bunny!! We have a new(ish) granddaughter (2) and I plan on making her some!! She will love these!!! Thanks!

Whether it's an art exhibition, a new restaurant, or an inner-city festival, it appears that London's cultural institutions must now cater to the like-seeking social media space first and foremost.
In a city with more than enough foodies to fill seats, if your new restaurant lacks Instagram appeal — be that the food or the décor — it's unlikely to get much in the way of footfall. It's often seen by businesses as a platform for free promotion, but is the price of success a sacrifice at the Instagram altar?
To some, it's not seen as a sacrifice, especially if it boosts business and tourism. But are we conceding some of the uniqueness of London by applying the same cookie cutter social media aesthetics as other global cities to our art and public spaces?
In the restaurant business, how a dish photographs has become just as important as how it tastes — meaning some existing restaurants have had to up their Instagram appeal. As of writing this, 195,000+ people follow Élan Café's Instagram page, which features a carefully curated purple and pink colour palette complete with neon signage, floral décor, and intricately laid out snacks and drinks.
Frequently topping lists of "London's most Instagrammable restaurants", Élan has managed to create an aspiration around its business — the "London life" is about sitting in front of Élan's flower wall holding a carefully crafted croissant, and if you didn't document the experience online? More fool you.
No restaurant in London better illustrates the importance of 'Instagram chic' better than sketch. As much a zany art gallery as it is a spot for afternoon tea, sketch has built its brand on Instagram-worthy art. The Mayfair location is a smorgasbord of elements that can turn a restaurant into social media royalty: an intricate and eye-catching interior, art (including the Instagram aesthetic pièce de résistance: neon signs), and, obviously, an aesthetically pleasing menu.
Whether new restaurants can achieve Instagram appeal without compromising the chef's ideals or the dining experience is a tough question. There's a fine line between gastronomic ingenuity and creating a gimmicky meal or cocktail for Instagram likes — and it's a line that's increasingly difficult to toe when Instagram is often the primary driver of business towards new restaurants.
So important is the promotion of restaurants on Instagram, that in 2017, newly opened Soho restaurant Dirty Bones began providing guests with "Instagram kits." These kits include a tripod selfie stick, a portable phone charger, a clip on wide-angle lens, and small lighting equipment.
Instagram and other social media platforms offer free and effective marketing for restaurant owners who, just ten years ago, may have had to base their entire branding on a decent review from Giles Coren.
Christian Piu is the operation manager for a number of restaurants across London including SOYO and Pizaza. He explains that social media platforms are hugely important in attracting customers to SOYO. Speaking to Voice of London, he explains that a lot of time is spent perfecting the Instagram feed for each restaurant, "because the first bite, you take with your eyes".
Piu also says that platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest are great tools for understanding more about the customer – and allow restaurants to see what's popular and capitalise on trends.
Instagram has also changed this city's approach to public space. Earlier this year, St. Pancras station unveiled its new art installation. A 20-metre long pink neon sign that reads "I want my time with you" now welcomes commuters and tourists into London. A compelling and romantic pro-Europe statement from renowned artist Tracey Emin only ends up feeling clichéd when dangled from the ceiling of a train station — but it's a hit on Instagram.
November saw the UK's first "Selfie Factory" launch as a pop-up in Shoreditch. Born from the minds of three digital natives, the Selfie Factory featured backdrops that allowed guests to up their 'Instagram game,' including giant ball pits, confetti rooms, and doughnut-lined walls. It's Instagram aesthetic as defined by algorithm, as if "colourful, unconventional, weird" is all a person needs to be deemed interesting.
The most easily-observable example of Instagram's effect on the art world comes by way of Yayoi Kusama's ongoing exhibition at the Victoria Miro, THE MOVING MOMENT WHEN I WENT TO THE UNIVERSE. At this point, there's little more that can be said about her polka-dot pumpkins and infinity rooms shtick that hasn't been said by other, smarter critics. If you like it, you like it. If you hate it, you hate it. If you think it's like walking through an Ikea on an acid trip, it is.
In every city her work appears in, be it Atlanta, Toronto, or London, tickets get snatched up immediately. The centrepiece of her exhibitions are her infinity mirrors series: a sequence of rooms, different in each exhibit, that feature lights and objects reflected endlessly into the ether. The rooms make for great selfies, and smartphone-wielding visitors are usually permitted less than a minute inside each room. You go in, take a photo, and get out. Ruminating on the art itself comes later, if at all.
You can read more of our thoughts on THE MOVING MOMENT WHEN I WENT TO THE UNIVERSE here.
Outside of galleries and in the real world, public art is pulling millennials in with offers of easy online likes, with Carnaby Street being among London's most well-known Instagram hotspots. Long known for its aesthetically pleasing overhead lights, the popular shopping destination recently unveiled a Queen-inspired redesign to tie into the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Much like the Tracey Emin piece in St. Pancras, or the wall decoration in Ballie Ballerson, Carnaby Street is now adorned with neon-lit, pseudo-meaningful Queen lyrics carefully segmented into highly Instagrammable chunks.
Of course, we want people to engage in London's culture. We want people eating at our restaurants, visiting as tourists, and supporting this country's underfunded art scene. But how unique can London be, when it applies the same built-for-Instagram design principles in the form of like-catering neon signs, colourful décor, and food that looks better than it tastes?

Q: Provide singleton dependency vs object initialization I have two questions about Dagger2 and it's Singleton scope,
I used Retrofit and GSON but it's just for the example, I want to make sure I understand Dagger2 correctly.
I have NetowrkModule like:
@Module
public class NetworkModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    Retrofit provideRetrofit(OkHttpClient okHttpClient, GsonConverterFactory gsonConverterFactory) {
        return new Retrofit.Builder()
                .addConverterFactory(gsonConverterFactory)
                .baseUrl("https://example.com")
                .client(okHttpClient)
                .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create())
                .build();
    }

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient() {
        return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
    }

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    GsonConverterFactory provideGson() {
        return GsonConverterFactory.create();
    }
}

and ApplicationComponent:
@Singleton
@Component(modules = {
        AndroidSupportInjectionModule.class,
        ApplicationModule.class,
        ViewBuildersModule.class,
        AuthServiceModule.class
})

public interface ApplicationComponent {

    @Component.Builder
    interface Builder {
        @BindsInstance
        Builder application(MyApplication application);
        ApplicationComponent build();
    }
    void inject(MyApplication app);
}

*

*Should I annotate OkHttpClient provider as singleton too? (I need Retrofit instance to be singleton in application scope).

*What is the difference between provide GsonConverterFactory VS create GsonConverterFactory in retrofit provider like:
@Module
public class NetworkModule {

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    Retrofit provideRetrofit(OkHttpClient okHttpClient, GsonConverterFactory gsonConverterFactory) {
        return new Retrofit.Builder()
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .baseUrl("https://example.com")
            .client(okHttpClient)
            .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create())
            .build();
    }

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient() {
        return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
    }
}

A: 1. Should I annotate OkHttpClient provider as singleton too? (I need Retrofit instance to be singleton in application scope).
Marking okhttpclient binding as a singleton will ensure that whichever binding in your system requires an okhttpclient binding will receive the same instance of binding. If you do not mark it as singleton, then every binding which depends on okhttpclient will get a separate instance of okhttpclient. For example, lets assume you create a RestClient which also requires okhttpclient.
@Singleton
@Provides
RestClient provideRestClient(OkHttpClient okhttpclient) {
    return RestClient(okhttpClient);
}

@Provides
@Singleton
Retrofit provideRetrofit(OkHttpClient okHttpClient, GsonConverterFactory gsonConverterFactory) {
    return new Retrofit.Builder()
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
        .baseUrl("https://example.com")
        .client(okHttpClient)
        .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create())
        .build();
}

@Singleton // marked as singleton
@Provides
OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient() {
    return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
}

In the above case both retrofit and restclient will receive the same instance of Okhttpclient.
But if you remove the @Singleton annotation from okhttpclient binding then both restclient and retrofit will receive different instances of okhttpclient binding.
2. What is the difference between provide GsonConverterFactory VS create GsonConverterFactory in retrofit provider like
Again the difference is visible in terms of scope of binding that you want in your graph. provide GsonConverterFactory will appear as a binding for everyone in your graph whereas reate GsonConverterFactory won't.

NY Transit Museum exhibit to explore 'Transit Etiquette or: How I Learned to Stop Spitting and Step Aside in 25 Languages'
Opening March 12 at Grand Central Terminal

Given the nature of urban mass transit — small spaces shared with perfect strangers and everyone in a rush — it is no surprise that transit agencies have, from their very beginnings, encouraged passengers to be safe, clean and well-behaved. No matter if it is 1916, 1956 or 2016, whether in Toronto, New York or Tokyo, the inappropriate behaviors ubiquitous to mass transit have remained remarkably consistent and have annoyed commuters throughout the world for more than a century.
Opening March 12, the New York Transit Museum's newest exhibition "Transit Etiquette or: How I Learned to Stop Spitting and Step Aside in 25 Languages" explores the creative and engaging visuals and broad scope of humor that transit agencies in the U.S. and abroad have used to cajole and scold passengers into better behavior.
Whether they are asking people not to smoke, to be safe at the edge of the platform or to throw away their trash, the graphic posters and videos from all over the world truly speak to everyone, their message loud and clear with no translation necessary. "Transit Etiquette or: How I Learned to Stop Spitting and Step Aside in 25 Languages" includes etiquette campaign posters and videos from cities dotting the globe including Barcelona, Brussels, Chicago, London, Madrid, New York, Philadelphia, Rio de Janiero, Taipei, Tokyo and more.
Each section in the exhibit highlights a transit etiquette sin that is seen year after year, from one city to the next. A section entitled "Don't Be a Seat Hog" includes a 1920 London Tube poster from the London Transport Museum Collection, a 1939 Toronto Transit Commission poster from the City of Toronto Archives, a 1947 New York City Transit Authority poster from the New York Transit Museum Collection and a 2012 Tokyo Metro poster from the Tokyo Metro Cultural Foundation Collection — all discouraging what has come to be known today as "manspreading." After viewing etiquette campaigns spanning over a century, some exhibit visitors may question how far we've really come.
"Transit Etiquette or: How I Learned to Stop Spitting and Step Aside in 25 Languages" opens to the public on Saturday, March 12 at the New York Transit Museum's Gallery Annex and Store at Grand Central. The gallery annex is located just off the main concourse in the shuttle passage, next to the station master's office, and is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free to the public year-round.
When 370 Jay St. was state-of-the-art: Transit Museum exhibit is now open

New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is home to nearly 2.6 million residents. If Brooklyn were an independent city it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. While Brooklyn has become the epitome of 'cool and hip' in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been 'uncool'.

Our Communion retreat is next Tuesday! Banners are due by then. The children will have their McDonald's lunch that day (no hot lunch). Please send in any letters for the retreat if you have not already done so!
Please return the weekly test folders (purple folders) each week. These folders are sent home with tests and other graded work so you get an idea of how your child is doing.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, etc! You can email me at khess@scaoaklawn.org, message me through Remind, or call the school office. I will get back to you as soon as possible!


During World War II, more than 80,000 women volunteered to serve in the U.S. Navy. The women were known as WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). In 2007, Kathleen Ryan began collecting the stories of women who served during this era via digital video and audio recordings. The women were now in their 80s and 90s when the project began, so it was important that their stories are preserved for future generations.
Homefront Heroines: The WAVES of World War II tells their stories. The project features a documentary film, blog and multiple social media platforms. We've also experimented with geo-located stories (check out our pages on TagWhat) and other outlets.
Homefront Heroines premiered at Through Women's Eyes at the Sarasota Film Festival in 2013 and was an official selection at the San Pedro International Film Festival. It won a Broadcast Education Association Award of Excellence in 2014 and received the support of numerous grantors, including the Ohio Humanities Council (plus some fabulous donors who supported our Kickstarter campaign).

Tehran (KNA) - Leo Varadkar's ill-fated remarks about windfarms in Co Clare might have stolen the show in Washington yesterday, but Melania Trump's choice of green dress turned heads too.
She chose a vibrant emerald green, leopard-print shift dress designed by Lady Gaga's stylist, young New York designer Brandon Maxwell.
The mid-length dress is described on the Nieman Marcus website as a "silk blend, leopard print jacquard" dress and is sleeveless.Should you feel the need to replicate her look this weekend, the dress will set you back $1,595.
