Q: AndroidBoostrap preview mode: Font not properly registered I'm using AndroidBootstrap 2.0.0 for implementing their buttons and icons in my android application but in AndroidStudio I always get an annoying exception because of rendering problems in the Graphical Layout Editor. Moreover the button is not displayed in the Graphical Layout Editor, but when I run the application on my device the buttons are shown and working properly. So the error occurs only in the preview mode.
This is the exception:

I added AndroidBootstrap in my manifest as dependency, added TypefaceProvider.registerDefaultIconSets(); to my Application class and imported the fontawesome-webfont-v440.ttf font file to my projects assets/fonts folder.
Do I miss anything?
Thanks for any help.

A: Don't panic you have everything right. :)
This is a bug in the library, the icons should be hidden in Edit Mode. I have raised this to Jamie@BeardedHen and under the GitHub repo.
GitHub Issue Link
This will be resolved in the 2.0.1 release, and I have raised a fork request to add View.isInEditMode() to the instantiation method.


I see you figured it out. Care to share, in case someone else runs into the same problem?
If I remember rightly, you dig out some key in your humble account and copy and paste it into your forum profile some place that wasn't so easy to locate.
Haven't figured it out yet. I have the key from my Humble account, but for the life of me cannot find where to paste it.
Still looking for the solution. Thanks, everyone.
Okay, I have figured it out and must have done it a long time ago. On the settings page, at the top next to "settings" there is a backer license tab which takes you to a page where you can enter the code.

The Last of Us 2 is the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 exclusive game, with over 4 million copies sold over the first weekend.
Dexton June 26, 2020 Games , Software 0 Comments
That reports PlayStation Friday. The post-apocalyptic game thus pushes Final Fantasy 7 Remake to the throne. In April, 3.5 million copies of that game were sold for the first three days. Before that, Spider-Man was at the top for a while, with 3.3 million units in the first weekend.
The milestone is striking, as the PlayStation 4 is nearing the end of its seven-year life cycle.
Criticism from angry gamers
The game follows the young woman Ellie, who fights through a world full of infected zombie-like, militias and sects. Ellie has a lesbian relationship in the game. A group of gamers was angry at that. They boycotted the game and deliberately gave the game low ratings on review sites and in web shops. That action did not work, given the sales figures.
"We are so grateful to the millions of fans around the world who have played The Last of Us Part II and shared their experiences with us over the past week," said Neill Druckman, director of the game.
"We wanted to tell a new kind of story, one that deals with difficult themes and would challenge you in unexpected ways. It was so incredible to hear how the experience resonated with so many of you and to witness the kind of thoughtful discussions it sparked. "

Charities Hospice UK, Together for Short Lives and Marie Curie are warning that a pay rise for NHS staff could have a damaging impact on charitable hospices in England and put vital services at risk unless they receive financial help to meet extra costs for hospice staff.
The charities all welcome the pay boost for non-medical NHS staff, but called on the Government to provide support for hospices to reduce the impact of the award on hospice recruitment and retention.
Hospice UK estimates that changes resulting from the NHS pay deal mean that its 200 member hospices will have to spend an extra £100million over the next three years – equivalent to 2% of the funding that the Government has put aside to fund the increase for staff working in the NHS.
The Government recently outlined in a Written Ministerial Statement how it intends to address the impact of the pay award on non-NHS providers, including hospices.
The Government will allow non-NHS providers - that are providing NHS services and that employ staff on an Agenda for Change contract - to access part of the £800 million that is being made available to the NHS this year for staff pay. Only those organisations that match Agenda for Change terms and conditions will be able to access the extra funding.
Most hospices use Agenda for Change terms and conditions as a guide to their local pay policies for clinical staff - rather than matching the terms and conditions exactly – so it looks likely that the majority of hospices would not be able to access this funding.
"While we strongly support the pay award for hardworking NHS staff, we are very concerned about the wider impact of this on charitable hospices in England.
"This decision by the Government to restrict funding for non-NHS providers to only those organisations that follow Agenda for Change terms and conditions to the letter is very worrying and will have a very damaging impact on charitable hospices.
"Most hospices use NHS terms and conditions as guidance for their local pay policies rather than matching their terms and policies exactly. To recruit and retain staff, hospices will have little choice other than following the pay rises for the NHS, so many hospices will be left severely out of pocket.
"Charitable hospices are already facing huge financial pressures and operating in a tough fundraising climate, so this will put their stretched resources under even greater strain.
"In addition, hospices are currently facing major workforce challenges, especially in recruiting and retaining staff with the specialist skills for supporting people with terminal and life-limiting conditions. If no allowance is made for hospices they may be forced to cut vital services.
"We urge the Government to take action to mitigate the impact of the NHS pay award on charitable hospices in England.
"Hospices and palliative care charities are already facing huge financial pressures; they are operating in a tough fundraising climate and receive patchy and unsustainable statutory funding. This will put their stretched resources under even greater strain.
"These vital services already face major workforce challenges, especially in recruiting and retaining staff with the specialist skills for supporting people with terminal and life-limiting conditions. This development will exacerbate these difficulties and could have a negative impact on patient care.
While staff in a relatively small number of hospices, particularly NHS ones, will benefit directly from the NHS pay deal, as well as some charitable hospices that follow Agenda for Change's terms and conditions, the vast majority of charitable hospices stand to lose out as a result of the new NHS pay deal.
Charitable hospices across the UK support more than 200,000 people each year.
The Agenda for Change system allocates posts to set pay bands, using the Job Evaluation Scheme. The pay system's main aims include delivering fair pay for non-medical staff, providing better links between pay and career progression and harmonising terms and conditions of service such as annual leave and sick pay.
The proposed approach on the NHS pay deal applies to England only. The governments of the other nations can still choose to take a different approach if they wish. Hospice UK is continuing to keep the pressure up on them to do so.

This song expressed how I felt during times when I was separated from an ex-fiance. It was because of this song that I met Kathleen Noble. Kathleen came to my apartment to sing "Now That You're Gone" a few weeks before I went to live in West Germany. I could not use the recording we made, but we began a friendship that is still very dear to me. After I returned from Germany in 1983, Kathleen and I spent a lot of time together. By the spring of 1986 we were pretty busy with our separate lives, so we saw much less of each other. I saw her last on the day I was married in June of 1987. In early 1989, I learned from her parents that Kathleen had been murdered. It took a long time before I could even listen to this song. "Now That You're Gone" will be known from this time on as Kathleen's Song. I miss her.

Serving Galashiels, Melrose and Selkirk
Architects and Builders
A London architect, William Wardell (1823-1899), was entrusted with the design of the church. Smith of Darnick was chosen for the construction of random rubble and sandstone dressings.
The Main Body Of The Church
The massive buttresses required to support the force of such a large roof, rather than being built on the outside of the church were brought within the walls of the building, as at King's College Cambridge. They thus formed a series of recesses, which open into the body of the church through lower arches. These serve as side chapels, confessionals and vestry.
The interior contains pointed arcades, decorative carving, painted and stenciled walls and an open timber ceiling. On entering the church and looking towards the High Altar with its lofty spire one can see two large stained glass windows surmounted by a spherical window, which has a representation of the Crucifixion as its central light.
Altars and Statues
There are seven side altars and nine statues in the church. Beginning from the right hand side of the church (Epistle side) the statue to the side of the main door is of Our Lady of Sorrows. Directly in front on the facing column is a small bust and plaque to Mr. Hope Scott, patron and benefactor of this church. (Please refer to page 7 for the inscription)
First Altar
The first altar on the Epistle side is to St. Joseph and has a fine statue of the saint on the altar. There is a tablet on the column to Father John Pittar S.J. who died in the parish on the 24th July 1889 aged 52. Father Pittar is buried in the Eastland Cemetery, Galashiels.
Second Altar
Our Lady of Lourdes is the next altar on this side of the church. It was erected in 1884/85 and on the altar is a beautiful statue of Our Lady. On the opposite wall is the Lourdes Banner carried by the parish on its pilgrimage to Lourdes in 2002.
Third Altar
The adjoining altar is to St. Patrick and was erected in 1866 by donations from the congregation. It was built by Mr. Currie of Darnick who also carved the statue of MungoPark the explorer from Selkirk. A tablet on the wall gives the following information:
In honour of the great Apostle of the Irish, the altar in this chapel, used for the first time on the 22nd July 1866, in presence of the Right Reverend Francis Kerril Amherst, Bishop of Northampton, and a great concourse of the faithful, and solemnly consecrated on the 24th March 1867, by the Right Reverend John Strain, D. D. Bishop of Abila and Vicar Apostolic of the Eastern District of Scotland was erected by his children and clients in Galashiels, Selkirk, Louder, Earlston, Stow, Melrose, Darnick, Midlem, etc.
Lady Chapel and Polish Window
Standing beside the High Altar, is a beautiful Lady Chapel, gifted by Charlotte Sophia Hope-Scott of Abbotsford from the sale of her private jewellery. Mrs. Hope-Scott gave generously to charitable institutions, especially the orphanage under The Sisters of Norwood. She is remembered as having disposed of, for the purchase of the orphanage, a precious ornament given to her by her husband, and which had once belonged to Empress Josephine. A portion of this money was reserved, however, for a Lady Altar in the Church of Our Lady and St. Andrew, Galashiels.
The Lady Chapel is the last altar on this side of the church and it contains a triptych, handsomely carved in stone, depicting the Madonna and Child, the Annunciation, and the Visitation. The brass plate on the wall reads,
Pray for the soul of Charlotte Hope-Scott of Abbotsford born January 1st. 1828, died October 26th 1858, who, by the sale of her jewels, provided this altar of Our Lady.
The statue of Saint Michael the Archangel on the high altar was donated to the church by Maxwell Scott in memory of his son Michael who died at a very young age. The High Altar has a lofty spire, forming a magnificent throne for the Blessed Sacrament. It was executed by Mr. Earp of London and fills the space between the two large windows. On either side of the altar
Work was carried out to the sacristy in 1864 to provide cupboards and vesting-tables. Above the sacristy entrance is a picture of the Sacred Heart.
There are eight pediments on the buttresses in the nave, four on either side. On the Gospel side looking from the High Altar are St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Margaret (Queen of Scotland), St. Stanislaus, and St. Winefrida. On the Epistle side looking from the Altar are St. Monica, St. Colomba, St. Birgitta, and St. Aloysius.
St. Ignatius of Loyola, 1491-1556
He founded the Jesuit order in 1537. St. Ignatius died on 31st July 1556 and was canonised in 1622. He was made patron of spiritual exercises and retreats by Pope Pius XI. His feast day is on 31st July.
St. Margaret (Queen of Scotland), 1046-1093
She was the wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland and helped to reform the Church in Scotland, promulgating Easter communion and Sunday observance. She played a prominent role in the foundation of monasteries, churches and hostels. She died aged 47 and was subsequently named patron of Scotland in 1673. Her feast day is on 16th November.
St. Stanislaus Kosta, 1550-1568
He was born in Poland and educated by the Jesuits in Vienna. He later walked 350 miles to Rome in order to join the Jesuit order, which he entered at 17, sadly dying after 9 months. A model religious in all respects, he was canonised in 1726. His feast day is on 13th November.
St. Winefrida (7th century)
She was a Welsh virgin who was Abbess of a nunnery at Holywell in North Wales, which became a site of pilgrimage. Her relics are at Shrewsbury and her feast day is on 3rd November.
St. Monica, 332-387
The mother of St. Augustine of Hippo. She was revered as a model for Christian mothers and her feast day is kept on 27th August.
St Colomba, Abbot, 521-597
He founded monasteries in Derry (546) and Durrow (556) before leaving for lona with 12 companions to work among the Picts. He was seen as a leader of the Irish in Scotland.
St. Birgitta, Patron of Sweden, 1303-1373
She founded the order of Birgettine nuns and monks. They had up to 70 houses, of which there are still twelve in the world including one in Devon. She was canonised for her virtue and her feast day is on 23rd July.
St Aloysius 1568-1591
He was the son of a wealthy Spanish family who became a Jesuit, being professed in 1587. Whilst nursing the sick in a plague hospital in 1591 he caught the disease and only partially recovered, dying on 21st June of that year. He is remembered for his single minded devotion to God, and was canonised in 1726. He was declared patron of youth in 1729. His feast day is 21st June.
Altar to the Sacred Heart
In 1890 the little Altar to the Sacred Heart, with its statue was erected. The Warmemorial to members of the parish who died in World War 1 was commissioned in 1919 and was designed by F. Osborne and Co. Ltd. Thechapel contains a painting containing several figures, possibly Elizabeth and ayoung John the Baptist with Mary, Joseph, and the boy Jesus. This is a reproduction of uncertain date.
Altar to St. Francis Xavier
The St. Francis Xavier Altar is made from Caen stone, richly and decoratively carved with incidents from the life of St. Francis Xavier. It has minutely chiselled flowers and angels. It was the gift of Lord and Lady Henry Kerr of Huntlyburn, the parents of Fathers William and Schomberg Kerr, S. J. and of Mother Henrietta Kerr, a nun of the Sacred Heart Congregation. The chapel has one painting on display, an oil on canvas of the Adoration of the Infant Jesus.
The three small windows contain the figures of three Jesuit saints, who are, looking from left to right, St. Ignatius, St. Francis Xavier, and the third is unknown. The brass plate beside the altar is inscribed,
Of your charity, pray for the souls of Lord Henry Francis Charles Kerr, who died March 7th, 1882 and of Louisa Dorothea, his wife who died January 18th, 1884, the donors of this altar, and for their family, for whom an annual mass is founded in perpetuity.
In 1884 the two confessionals now in use were built and the wooden boxes formerly used were discarded. The statue of St. Anthony by Henri Gerard was placed in the church in 1904, and on the opposite wall is a triptych containing a portrait, Ecce Homo.
The Oratory was completed in the 1990's whilst Monsignor Murray was Parish Priest, and it is used regularly on weekdays for services. It has a small brass plaque in memory of the Monsignor's parents. The picture on the inner wall is an unusual depiction of Christ Baptising. The painting on the rear wall of the Oratory is the Presentation in the Temple (Bellini), which was executed by George Richmond, a parishioner, in 1962 and presented to the church in 2001.
On holiday in the Venezia department in north-east Italy, the late Lady Maxwell-Scott visited a church where she observed an artist painting. He explained to her that these were paintings of the Stations of the Cross for a church in the Venice area. Her admiration for these paintings, however, was so great that he offered to copy a set for her family's private chapel at Abbotsford House. The work of the unknown artist was similar in style to the VeroneseSchool of Painting, employing similar techniques, colour and style to that of the VenetianSchool. When fitted into their wooden frames, made to complement this style of painting, they were brought to Abbotsford and hung on the walls of the small chapel. Unfortunately, fourteen paintings were too many and unsuitable for its size. They remained there, however, until theopening of St. Columba's College, Newtown St. Boswells, at which time Sir Walter Maxwell-Scott donated them to the White Fathers for their chapel.
On the closure of the seminary, the White Fathers asked Canon Corcoran where an appropriate home might be found for these excellent paintings. He replied that they would be most suitable for his church in Galashiels, and was delighted to be offered them.
West End of the Church and Organ
The west end of the church, which looks towards Market Street and the town, has a great towering window with five lights topped with an ornamental circular window. It is flanked by two lofty octagonal turrets whilst beneath them runs an arcade passing the two entrance doors and pierced by some smaller windows. The gallery which forms a beautiful feature is carried along three handsome arches and in 1903 the organ was installed by E.H.Lawton, organ builder.
The picture on the wall below is of Christ on the Cross, which is possibly by a Flemish or other European artist and is over 250 years old. There is also a small picture of Jimmy McArdle together with his Bene Merenti medal, which was presented to him by the Pope. Jimmy was a great servant of the parish for most of his life and died in 2001.

Durham Region must plan to accommodate 960,000 people living and 350,000 employees in the Region by the year 2031, with 40% of this growth occurring within the existing built boundary. The realization of transit oriented development (TOD) will be a key factor in meeting these regional growth plan targets and objectives. In response, the Region retained Urban Strategies to create the Durham Region TOD Strategy as a core component of their ongoing Long Term Transit Strategy (LTTS). The TOD Strategy was recognized as necessary to advance a supportive land use pattern for the region's future rapid transit network, and to help chart a more sustainable and competitive future for Durham.
Key components and deliverables of the TOD Strategy process include a best practices and existing policy review; an analysis and planning rationale for the identification of 39 TOD Places in Durham; a series of TOD demonstration site workshops used to test place-specific TOD potential within each area municipality; and the preparation of TOD-specific urban design guidelines and benchmark metrics to guide the evolution of transit supportive places.

I'm Not Celebrating Long-Overdue Legislation Banning Lynching
National Memorial for Peace and Justice (Photo: Guy Nave)
On Monday, March 7, Congress approved legislation banning lynching and making it a federal hate crime. It has only taken 200 attempts to approve such legislation. The bill now goes to President Biden to sign into law.
On April 26, 2018, I attended the opening of the Equal Justice Initiative's (EJI) Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice.
The 11,000-square-foot Legacy Museum is built on the site of a former warehouse where enslaved black people were imprisoned. It is located midway between a historic slave market and the main river dock and train station. Slavers trafficked tens of thousands of enslaved black people there during the height of the domestic slave trade.
The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is a memorial to the victims of "racial terror lynchings." The site includes a memorial square with 800 six-foot columns that include the names of victims and the counties and states where racial terror lynchings took place.
The columns are suspended from above, representing public lynchings that happened in town squares across America. The hanging columns evoke the image of hanging brown bodies. They force visitors to grapple with the vast number of lynching victims in America.

The memorial had a profound impact on me during my visit.
As I found myself surrounded by 800 hanging columns, I was reminded that in 1959 — just four years after 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched in Money, MS — a 17-year-old boy, who would later become my father, was sent from his home in Mississippi to live with his mother's sister in east central Indiana.
My grandparents feared their eldest son would become another victim of racial terror lynching. White men came to their home one evening accusing my not-yet father of speaking "disrespectfully" to white men earlier. Knowing the repercussions of such accusations and certain the men would return later, my grandparents sent their son away.
A memorial plaque
Walking through the memorial, I thought about the suffering Emmet Till experienced. White men abducted Till from his great-uncle's house and savagely beat him. They mutilated his body, lynched him, and shot him in the head before tossing his body into the Tallahatchie River.
As a student of history, I had read about the brutality inflicted upon Emmet Till. I had often wondered about the severity of his suffering.
The severity of the brutality and suffering, however, became much more palpable to me as I walked through the memorial. I imagined the fate that awaited my father had my grandparents not sent him away to Indiana.
Emmet Till
It's estimated that more than six million black people fled the South as refugees and exiles as a result of racial terror lynchings.
As a 57-year old African American college professor with graduate degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary and Yale University, I often think about who Emmett Till's children might have become.
I think about the sheer volume of surviving and unborn descendants of the more than 4,400 black men, women, boys, and girls lynched in America. I think about the legacy of American impoverishment resulting from the barbaric atrocity of lynching.
How many brilliant black people has our nation been denied as a result of lynchings?
Had my grandparents not protected my father from a lynching 63 years ago, I would have never been born.
He would have never brought his nine brothers and sisters out of Mississippi. They may have never provided America with the several dozen children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who have helped make America a better nation.
Lynchings have not only terrorized black Americans, they have impoverished America as a nation.
We will never be able to imagine the contributions made by the hundreds of thousands of black Americans denied an opportunity to impact the world because of lynchings.
While making plans four years ago to attend the opening of the museum and memorial, several white people asked me, "What is the benefit of a museum and a memorial dedicated to the victims of slavery and lynching?"
As someone who teaches about the ongoing legacy of racism, I've often had white people ask me, "Why do black people insist on living in the past and remembering slavery when we have come so far as a nation?"
Americans are extremely selective regarding the past we teach and reflect upon. Many Americans invoke a selective past in order to buttress a racist self-serving present.
Much of the recent rhetoric and legislation banning the teaching of critical race theory has nothing to do with CRT. It's about allowing for a teaching of history that denies the realities and legacies of racial oppression in America.
As eloquently stated on the EJI webpage,
A history of racial injustice must be acknowledged, and mass atrocities and abuse must be recognized and remembered, before a society can recover from mass violence
I learned very little during my public school education about the history of slavery, racism, and lynching in America.
The concerted efforts to ban public school teaching about systemic racism and the consequences of slavery ensure students continue to learn very little about this history.
I am glad the U.S. Congress has finally passed legislation banning lynching in America. Welcome to the 21st century!
While I expect President Biden to sign the bill into law, I'm not celebrating the legislation.
In many ways the passage of this legislation has more symbolic significance than practical significance.
Passing long-overdue legislation banning lynching rings hollow when we are passing legislation banning teaching about lynching in public schools.
Current and future generations of Americans need to know why the passage of this legislation is important.
Promoting teaching about racism, slavery, and lynchings in public schools might help ensure the importance of this legislation is understood.
It also might help pave the way for the passage of legislation addressing current acts of systemic racial violence and injustice. It could even possibly prevent having to wait 150 years before passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
Here We Go Again!!

We were most impressed with Hunter Shaw, he called and showed up early, which was blessing on this particular day, he was very thorough, was a good listener and explained everything well, showed me a before and after photo after he cleaned our outside unit, was polite and respectful, and when he was finished he put everything back the way it was. Other than having to look his cracked phone screen, our experience with him and his services could not have been any better, he is one-of-a kind. Thank you Hunter!

Hunter was so nice and professional. He has so much knowledge. Fixed my AC issue and it's running great now. I will be requesting him from now on. Overall hassle free experience!


Luxury players worry as China's economy grows at its slowest pace in 28 years. Meanwhile sales of 'small luxuries' like lipstick — often in 'man-slaying colours' — are booming. Read China Decoded to make sense of the market.
SHANGHAI, China — The economy has recently dominated news in China, with latest GDP data released this week confirming a significant slowdown in the second half of 2018.
For the last three months of 2018, growth came in at 6.4 percent compared with the same period in 2017, the slowest rate of growth since 2009. These numbers contributed to full year GDP growth of 6.6 percent, the slowest China has seen in 28 years. And several respected China watchers have cast doubt on these figures, suggesting that they may even be inflated.
Also in the headlines in recent weeks, however, has been lipstick. And this has compelled some market observers to draw a connection between the two.
The category has exploded in China in recent years, with trending colours and collaborations regularly selling out. Just last week, MAC released its first ever collaboration with a video game, Tencent's phenomenally successful "Honour of Kings", which saw its five limited edition lip colours sell out in less than 24 hours.
Also making news in China has been an incredibly popular range of lip colours being pulled for sale by Beijing's Forbidden City (also called the Palace Museum) a hugely popular tourist attraction and former imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties that has made much of its revenue in recent years through sales of unique souvenirs with an historical twist.
Trading on what it touted as "traditional" Chinese beauty concepts, as well as packaging that leans heavily on Chinese cultural elements, the Palace Museum lipsticks had, since launching in December, been a sell-out success on Alibaba's Taobao platform.
As Chinese consumers think twice about big ticket purchases in a tough macroeconomic environment, categories predicted to benefit from belt tightening include instant noodles, and lipstick.
The official reason for their removal from the market has been explained as a desire for the museum to upgrade product quality before resuming sales in mid-February, though there has been conjecture that the real reason stems from an internecine dispute with another souvenir product division of the Forbidden City, which also sells a separate, more expensive line of lipsticks on Alibaba's Tmall platform. With Palace Museum merchandising revenue estimated to have topped 1.5 billion yuan ($220.5 million) in 2018, it's little wonder there's some jostling for turf.
Like many Asian countries, skincare has long dominated the beauty conversation in China, eclipsing colour cosmetics in a big way, but lipstick has been at the forefront of a charge from the colour brigade, which grew 14.2 percent in the first half of 2018, bringing total retail sales of colour cosmetics in China to 127.6 billion yuan ($18.74 billion).
As Chinese consumers think twice about big ticket purchases in a tough macroeconomic environment — though retail sales growth in December ticked up to 8.2 percent, sales of categories including autos and smartphones fell precipitously in the second half of the year — categories predicted to benefit from belt tightening include instant noodles, and lipstick.
Though the phenomenon known as "the lipstick effect", in which sales of accessible luxuries like lipstick allegedly rise as a country's economic performance suffers, has not been observed previously in China (a country which has enjoyed decades of growth following decades of revolution and upheaval), recent earnings data released by big beauty players, including Estée Lauder and L'Oréal show growth driven by strong China sales.
"In terms of consumption, at least in our categories ... we don't see any slowdown in the country," L'Oréal chief executive Jean-Paul Agon said of China following his company's third quarter earnings announcement.
"It comes down to lipstick being very versatile, accessible, not expensive and very easy to consume," says Elijah Whaley, chief marketing officer of influencer marketing platform ParkLu. He posits that international brands taking a long-term look at China's economy (and familiar with the so-called lipstick effect after observing it in Western markets) have led the charge in promoting the category.
"I wonder whether the big focus on lipstick is about the big makeup companies understanding this principal and they are driving the trend for lipsticks, rather than consumers. The hammer is coming down here soon, so maybe it's a pre-emptive strike," he ruminates.
According to data from research firm Mintel, lipstick accounts for 22 percent of China's entire colour cosmetics market, and is used by 95 percent of urban Chinese women. Alibaba says over 3 million women buy at least five tubes of lipstick from Tmall each year, with 230,000 tubes of lipstick sold on the platform in the first hour of its 2018 International Women's Day promotion.
For international brands to further capitalise on China's lipstick wave, however, there needs to be better understanding of the unique cultural background driving consumer choices in the category.
Important to remember, according to Beijing-based make-up artist and top-flight beauty KOL Melilim Fu, are the tastes of Chinese men, not only because of the much-touted rise of China's male beauty sector, but because some Chinese women look to buy lipstick colours that will please men, with social media posts touting trending lipstick shades as "zhan nan se" or "man-slaying colours" sure to stop men in their tracks.
"In the West, people talk about how nice the colour is, how cool and trendy it is and people will chase that, but in China the story is about how guys will like it because it's not too much, it's so soft. The angle is completely different," Fu says.
"Although the [international] prestige brands are still the trend, the colours and packaging that will become popular need to be suitable for Chinese culture," says Yao Shen, sales and marketing director for OEM manufacturer, Suzhou DMYL Cosmetics Co, pointing to the success of the Palace Museum collections as a portent of things to come.
This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that Western brands should tap into the trend for more nationalistic cultural elements in lipstick without careful consideration.
"Anytime a foreign brand tries to do a collaboration that is overtly about Chinese culture it's almost always a dud and people often find it offensive, it's like it has to be a purebred, by China for China thing," Whaley says, a view shared by Fu.
Rather, focusing on high quality product, and natural "low key" looks are key to reaching pragmatic Chinese women, for whom colour cosmetic use is still much more about conforming to rapidly evolving beauty standards.

Willi Frank (* 12. Februar 1909 in Steyr; † 19. Februar 1945) war ein österreichischer Kommunist und Widerstandskämpfer gegen den Nationalsozialismus.

Leben
Bereits als Schlosserlehrling trat Frank 1925 dem Kommunistischen Jugendverband (KJV) bei. Nach seiner Lehre war er zunächst arbeitslos, dann KJV-Obmann in Margareten, später in Floridsdorf. 1931 wurde Frank Mitglied des ZK des KJV. Auf dem VI. Weltkongress der Kommunistischen Jugendinternationale (KJI) 1935 in Moskau wurde er zum Kandidaten des Exekutivkomitees der KJI gewählt.

Während des Austrofaschismus und nach dem Anschluss arbeitete Frank illegal in Österreich. Ende 1939 nahm er – neben Erwin Puschmann, Franz Honner und Julius Kornweitz – am Treffen der leitenden Funktionäre des Auslandsapparates der KPÖ in Split teil, der bemüht war, wieder eine ständige Verbindung zwischen dem Ausland und den Gruppen in Österreich einzurichten. Frank floh 1941 in die Sowjetunion nach Moskau, wo er in das Zentralkomitee der KPÖ kooptiert wurde.

Nach dem Überfall auf die Sowjetunion kämpfte Frank auf Seiten der "Roten Armee". Vor seiner Abreise nach Slowenien war er in der Arbeit unter österreichischen Kriegsgefangenen in Krasnogorsk eingesetzt. Am 10. Dezember 1944 wurde Frank mit einem sowjetischen Flugzeug über Kiew und Belgrad ins slowenische Partisanengebiet nach Črnomelj gebracht, wo die führenden KPÖ-Funktionäre Franz Honner und Friedl Fürnberg mit der Aufstellung eines Österreichischen Bataillons begonnen hatten. Unmittelbar darauf liefen in Tribuče die Vorbereitungen für eine ins Land gerichtete Operation an, um dort die Widerstandsbewegung zu aktivieren. Am 17. Februar 1945 brach schließlich die von Frank geleitete Gruppe Richtung Norden auf. Am Morgen des 19. Februar 1945 wurde Frank im slowenischen Dorf Smuka bei einem Überraschungsangriff von im Partisanengebiet operierenden Weißgardisten tödlich verwundet.

Ehrungen
 Willi Frank und der mit ihm gefallene Funker Willi Högl wurden am Friedhof der Ortschaft Poljane bestattet. 1959 wurde hier ein Gedenkstein enthüllt. Seit 1962 befindet sich auch in Smuka ein Gedenkstein, der an den Tod der beiden österreichischen Antifaschisten erinnert.
 In Steyr ist eine Straße und in Wien-Margareten seit 1989 ein Park nach Willi Frank benannt.

In tutorial 2 you learned about conditionals - which is one kind of flow control Operation. Another kind of flow control Operation is the loop. No, there isn't an associated thing called a twirl - that's just for fun. To loop is to do something 0 or more times - you may do it several times, or not at all. You may also just do it once, but usually you do it more than once. Loops are also conditional, but rather than just executing code once if the condition is true, a loop executes a block of code again and again until the condition becomes untrue.
This may be a bit hard to understand. What that means is that you can put the condition before the block of code or after it - if you put it before, the code might never execute since the condition could be false. If you put it after, the code will always execute at least once but if the condition is false then no more after that. Each has its own use; but you can kind of guess what each means. You also put either While or Until before the condition. This way, you may do the Loop so long as the condition is true - and stop looping as soon as the condition becomes false - or you may do it so long as the condition is false, and stop looping as soon as it becomes true. If you Do While or Loop While, it executes the code so long as the condition is true. If you Do Until or Loop Until, it executes the code so long as the condition is false.
Print "The temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit."
Print "Enter y to see the temperature again or anything else to quit."
Loop Until mychar <> "y"
There's some very familiar things in this program, but I also added a statement you've probably never seen before: Cls. Run the program, try figuring out what the Cls does. If you can't figure it out, try commenting it out (by putting a ' character in front of it) and see what it does then. Kind of a useful thing, eh?
I encourage you to experiment with the Do...Loop construct. I've told you how each one works, and what it does. Try writing a program like this, not necessarily a useful program, that makes use of each form of the Do...Loop construct. That'll be your first assignment, but don't worry - the party isn't over yet!
There is another looping construct. This one is the While...Wend loop. It's technically redundant, since Do can do exactly the same thing, and we don't actually use it a lot, but I'll tell you about it now so if you ever see it you know what it means. Below I show two blocks of code; they are equivalent.
As you can see, there's not a lot about While you don't already know. It does just the same thing as the form of Do shown: it executes code so long as the condition is true, and it checks the condition before it executes the code so that it is possible for the code not to execute at all.
The code will execute forever. Now it's actually true that there are times when you'll need a loop running forever; for example, if you create a program whose sole goal is to monitor all information coming in on the ethernet line (not that you know how to do that at this point - it's just an example). If you program is supposed to sit there and check bits of data coming into your PC from the internet, that's an example where you'd probably use an infinite loop like this. But otherwise, a loop like that will never end so your program will just sit there doing the same thing again and again. So you'll need to put code inside the loop that is capable of detecting (probably using If) whether it's done enough. If the code is done executing, it will change the variable in the loop condition so that the condition will cause the loop to end. For example, if the condition is "Until t = 0" then so long as the code runs, t has to be nonzero. But if the code decides it's done doing what needs to be done, it sets t to 0 so the loop will stop. Otherwise the loop will never end.
While if the condition where by the Loop, it would run once before quitting... and if it were an Until instead of a While, it would run forever no matter where you put it. Of course, this loop is unlikely to be used for anything practical, but what may be used is a variable that is equal to 0 and being checked constantly. Once again you'll have the same thing - unless somewhere in your code the variable is modified.
Note, by the way, that "Until t = 0" does the same thing as "While t <> 0". It's preferable, whenever possible, to use the positive form - in this case, it would be the Until form. Not a few people have non-easiness figuring out what a non-small number of non-positive statements means (many people have a hard time understanding lots of negative statements).
Right, so now that you understand that you always need to make sure these loops stop (unless you have a reason never to make them stop) we'll look at one more type of loop: the For loop. For is quite a bit different from any other loop, because it doesn't use a condition... exactly. Instead, it merely repeats the code a certain number of times. For also needs a variable to work; there's no such thing as a For loop without a variable (unlike Do and While loops, which can work without a variable albeit not very well).
Print "What number shall I count to?"
Of course, you may call the variable anything - it doesn't have to be i. Furthermore, the first number and the last number can be anything you want as well. The first number may also be a variable, just like the last one is in that example. Finally, you may count differently.
And if you want to count backwards? "Step" by a negative number!
Once again the power and simplicity of Basic has been demonstrated. The past three tutorials have shown you the most important concepts in programming and all of it is really easy to learn - very similar to English! But there's more coming, don't you worry!
Your assignment is to write a program that asks for twenty numbers and gives the average after each one. You calculate the average by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the number of numbers - for example, the average of 1, 2, 3, 4 is (1+2+3+4)/4, since there's 4 numbers in all. The number of numbers will change after each one, so you'll need to keep track of the sum of all the numbers so far, the current number of numbers, and the number just entered by the user. Of course, be sure to make it user friendly by giving helpful instructions on what to do, and clear the screen before showing each new average. And use Sleep to make sure the window doesn't disappear!
In part 4 we'll talk more about different variable types and number systems. Until then, work on your assignments!

Q: Get blank view before the printer selection When I call the following code, I end up with a blank view before I get the printer selection view. Once I dismiss (swipe) the blank view, everything seems to work fine after that.  The calling code is shown following. I have a NavigationView defined in another view that led to the view where this call is made. Any suggestions?
struct PrintHTMLView: UIViewControllerRepresentable

    var htmlString: String
    var title: String

       formatter.contentInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 72, left: 72, bottom: 72, right: 72)
       printController.printFormatter = formatter
       printController.present(animated: true, completionHandler: nil)
    }
}

Code snippet of call to invoke the above...
Button("Print")
{
  self.printShowing.toggle()
}.sheet(isPresented: $printShowing)
{
  PrintHTMLView(htmlString: html, title: "Report")
}

A: Here is fixed variant. The main point is that UIPrintInteractionController shows own sheet, so it is not needed for it, and updateUIViewController is for different purpose - update content on external data change, so all preparations should be made in makeUIViewController.
Note: UIMarkupTextPrintFormatter reference should be kept in properties otherwise it is lost and result in crash on print sheet close.

Das US-amerikanische Hip-Hop-Produzenten-Team The Neptunes besteht aus Pharrell Williams und Chad Hugo und spielt seit den späten 1990er Jahren eine große Rolle in der Popmusik.

Werdegang
Ihren Durchbruch hatten sie 1998 mit der Produktion von Noreagas Superthug. Im Jahre 1999 produzierten sie das Debütalbum Kaleidoscope der Sängerin Kelis, was ihnen zunehmend die Aufmerksamkeit eines breiteren Publikums verschaffte. Des Weiteren komponierten The Neptunes die Rhythmen für Nellys Hot In Herre, Ol' Dirty Bastards Nigga Please, Britney Spears' I'm A Slave For You und für einen Großteil von Justin Timberlakes Solodebüt Justified. Auch Gruppen aus anderen Musikrichtungen wie z. B. No Doubt und Garbage erhielten schon Unterstützung von The Neptunes.

Der Stil des angesehenen Produzententeams vereint Funk mit elektronischen Elementen und zeichnet sich durch sehr spärliche Verwendung von Samples aus. Beide spielen selbst auch Instrumente, Williams ist ursprünglich Schlagzeuger, spielt Keyboard und singt. Hugo spielt Gitarre und Synthesizer.

Die Neptunes stellen außerdem einen Großteil der Band N.E.R.D, deren erstes Album In Search Of … Goldstatus erreichte. Bekannte Lieder aus diesem Album waren Rock Star, Lap Dance und Provider. Das 2004 veröffentlichte Album Fly Or Die war ebenfalls sehr erfolgreich, ebenso wie die Singleauskopplung She Wants To Move. In dieser Formation stehen neben Hip-Hop sehr starke Rock-Einflüsse.
