Q: First page of ViewPager not getting rendered I am using a ViewPager to be able to swipe between views. The problem that I am facing is, the first page does not render properly(only the static members from layout file get rendered), but the second page and further pages are rendered properly. Also, when I go to third or later page and then come swiping back to the first page, it gets rendered perfectly.
I know that ViewPager loads the first page as well second page in the beginning and does the same for every next page. Is this the reason why my first page is not rendered properly? I am making a network call on each page and the data returned is being displayed on the page.
Here is the code for my Adapter:

Read the following passage carefully and answer question numbers 13 to 17.
I did that thing recently where you have to sign a big card – which is a horror unto itself, especially as the keeper of the Big Card was leaning over me at the time. Suddenly I was on the spot, a rabbit in the headlights, torn between doing a fun message or some sort of in-joke or a drawing. Instead overwhelmed by the myriad options available to me, I decided lo just write : "Good luck, best, Joel".
It was then that I realised, to my horror, that 1 had forgotLen how to write. Mv entire existence is "tap letters into computer". My shopping lists are hidden in the notes function of my phone. If I need to remember somelhing 1 send an e-mail to myself. A pen is something I chew when I'm struggling to think. Paper is something I pile beneath my laptop to make it a more comfortable height for me to type on.
A poll of 1,000 teens by the stationers, Bic found that one in 10 don't own a pen, a third have never written a letter, and half of 13 to 19 years – old have never been forced to sit down and write a thank you letter. More than 80% have never written a love letter, 56% don't have letter paper at home. And a quarter have never known the unique torture of writing a birthday card. The most a teen ever has to use a pen is on an exam paper.
Bic, have you heard of mobile phones ? Have you heard of e-mail, lacebook and snap chatting ? This is the future. Pens are dead. Paper is dead. Handwriting is a relic.
"Handwriting is one of the most creative outlets we have and should be given the same importance as other art forms such as sketching, painting or photography."

For UK-based violist Stephen Upshaw '10, diversity is key to measuring success and satisfaction in his career. And from a look at his recent schedule, things are going pretty well. In the past few months, he's toured with pianist Jeremy Denk and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, as well as with British-Norwegian singer-songwriter/composer Sasha Siem whose music lives in the alternative pop world. He has also continued his role as artistic director of Sounding Motion, a collaborative company that explores the relationship between dance and contemporary chamber music.
On some level, Stephen's years at NEC set the stage for this kind of diverse concert calendar. "I don't think I would have the musical life I have now without having gone to NEC. The main thrust of what I do is thanks to that foundation." The studios of Martha Strongin Katz and Carol Rodland fostered his technical skills on the viola and furthered his ability to interpret and express the notes on the page, but it was in the classes of Music Theory Professor Katarina Miljkovic where he found his love of avant-garde music. Through attending new music concerts with a tight-knit group of aficionados and a collaboration with Boston Architectural College devised by Miljkovic, Stephen began to explore the wider reaches of contemporary music and its ability to synthesize with other fields.
Working with composers of new works has been integral in shaping Stephen's artistic identity. In October 2014, Stephen gave the world premiere of a solo viola work by British composer Michael Finnissy, entitled Seven Pavans. Last summer he played with the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra, which premiered Heinz Holliger's Scardanelli-Zyklus, conducted by the composer himself. Composers like Holliger and Finnissy have changed the way Stephen thinks about and approaches music. "They write impenetrably difficult music notated so specifically, and when you work with them, they can hear absolutely everything you're doing. In a way, it has taught me how to read music."
What's next for Stephen? Hard to say, but we can assume that his constant search for new musical horizons will lead him to exciting destinations, and we're looking forward to following his career.

It seems odd to criticize a movie that is so thoroughly Mexican on its face for not being Mexican enough, but that's really my main problem with it. Sure, it's set in Mexico, on The Day of the Dead, with a cast of Mexican characters whose names are Maria, Manolo and Joaquin, but something felt off. For one thing, the central theme of bull fighting evokes Spain, not Mexico. Yes, yes, I know bull fighting is big in Mexico and that the largest bull fighting ring in the world resides in Mexico City. But ultimately, people associate bull fighting with Spain. It's like making a movie about China and focusing on Bonsai trees; yes, Bonsai trees are big in China, but everyone associates them with Japan.
So instead of wanting to be a bull fighter, our protagonist, Manolo, wants to be a musician. Here was an opportunity to weave cultural music into the movie. Instead, the mariachi band plays contemporary songs using traditional instruments. While some might see that as a shrewd move to make the movie more relevant to viewers, I mourned the lost opportunity to introduce Mexican music to a captive audience. Listening to Manolo sing "Creep" by Radiohead inside a bull ring certainly did not jive with the Mexican theme of the movie. It's almost as if they tried to pull a Baz Luhrman and integrate popular music into a historically set movie a la Moulin Rouge, except that really nothing about that movie screamed 1940's Paris and this movie is basically set inside a piñata at a quinceañera. But with Radiohead. It's all so very wrong.
Besides all that, the plot is rather straightforward. A kid trying to fight against parental expectations, two guys fighting for a girl, blah, blah, blah. I think it would have been a better movie had they focused on one or the other--not both. The whole romantic angle, as well as Manolo's friendship with Joaquin (and a practically non-existent love triangle), were just so underdeveloped that the whole adventure seemed fun, but emotionally vacant. Which is kind of a problem for a movie that's based on some deep, emotional stuff.
But hey, the animation is great. Apparently that's all we expect from a kid's movie these days?
Final word: Full of color, devoid of real substance.

Top Sectors (%)
Percentages are based on fixed-income securities held in the Fund's investment portfolio and exclude any equity or convertible securities and cash or cash equivalents. Ratings apply to the underlying portfolio of debt securities held by the Fund and are rated by an independent rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch. If ratings are provided by the rating agencies, but differ, the higher rating will be utilized. If only one rating is provided, the available rating will be utilized.

There can be no assurance that the Fund's objective will be achieved.
An investment in the Fund's Common Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
As with any stock, the price of the Fund's Common Shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors.
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV.
Funds that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner.
The Fund is more subject to credit risk than a fund that invests primarily in investment-grade municipal bonds.
Economic exposure to the municipal bond market involves certain risks. The Fund's economic exposure to municipal bonds includes municipal bonds in the Fund's portfolio and municipal bonds to which the Fund is exposed through the ownership of Tender Option Bond (""TOB"") Residuals. Tender Option Bonds (TOB) Residuals are derivative municipal securities that have embedded in them the risk of economic leverage. There is no assurance that the Fund's strategy of using TOB Residuals to leverage its assets will be successful.
A portion of the Fund's distributions may be taxable.
Some investors may be subject to Alternative Minimum Tax.
The Fund's limited term may cause it to sell securities when it otherwise would not, which could cause the Fund's returns to decrease and the market price of the Common Shares to fall.
Premium/Discount is the percentage (%) difference between the Market price and the NAV price. When the Market price exceeds the NAV, the Fund is trading at a Premium. When the Market price is less than the NAV, the Fund is trading at a Discount.
Market Price Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the annualized dividend rate, by the market price at month end.
NAV Price Dividend Rate is calculated by dividing the annualized dividend rate, by the NAV at month end.
Managed Assets is the Fund's total assets (including any assets attributable to leverage), minus the sum of its accrued liabilities (other than Fund liabilities incurred for the purpose of creating effective leverage (i.e. TOBs) or Fund liabilities related to liquidation preference of any preferred shares issued).
Leverage is based on the use of proceeds received from tender option bonds transactions (TOBs), issuing Preferred Shares, or funds borrowed from banks or other institutions, expressed as a percentage of Managed Assets.
Duration to Worst is the duration of a bond, computed using the bond's nearest call date or maturity, whichever comes first. This measure ignores future cash flow fluctuations due to embedded optionality.
Leverage-adjusted duration. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a bond or bond fund to changes in market interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond's or fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a fund and therefore results in a duration that is longer than the duration of the fund's portfolio of bonds.
Percentages are based on fixed-income securities held in the Fund's investment portfolio and exclude any equity or convertible securities and cash or cash equivalents. Ratings apply to the underlying portfolio of debt securities held by the Fund and are rated by an independent rating agency, such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and/or Fitch. If ratings are provided by the rating agencies, but differ, the higher rating will be utilized. If only one rating is provided, the available rating will be utilized.

Aside from keeping the opponents off the scoreboard at the 2016 Rio Olympics, U.S. women's goalkeeper Hope Solo is going to do everything in her power not to contract the Zika virus. She is going to extensive lengths to do so, too.

Solo is among the most outspoken athletes against the Rio Olympics after the Zika virus outbreak. But after doing "a lot of research," the U.S. goalkeeper decided to travel and participate in the Games.
Officials at the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in April the Zika virus leads to microcephaly, which causes infants to be born with small heads and brain damage.

THURSDAY, March 7, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Want a daytime pick-me-up that may also benefit your blood pressure? Take a nap, researchers suggest.
"Midday sleep appears to lower blood pressure levels at the same magnitude as other lifestyle changes," said Dr. Manolis Kallistratos, a cardiologist at Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece.
For each hour you nap, systolic blood pressure drops an average of 3 mm Hg, the researchers found. Systolic pressure -- the top number in a blood pressure reading -- is the force of your blood pushing against your arteries when your heart beats. Diastolic pressure -- the bottom number -- is the force between heart beats.
Taking a low-dose blood pressure drug, for example, can lower your level an average of 5 to 7 mm Hg, while a nap can reduce overall blood pressure an average of 5 mm Hg, the study authors said.
"These findings are important because a drop in blood pressure as small as 2 mm Hg can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack by up to 10 percent," Kallistratos said.
For the study, the investigators collected data on 212 people, average age 62, whose systolic pressure averaged about 130 mm Hg. About one-quarter of the participants smoked and/or had type 2 diabetes.
The researchers compared blood pressure over a day among those who napped in the middle of the day for about 49 minutes with those who didn't. The study also took into account factors such as consumption of alcohol, coffee and salt, the participants' physical activity levels, and their age, gender and medications.
The study participants wore blood pressure monitors to track their readings during a normal 24-hour day. Over that period, those who napped had an average systolic blood pressure more than 5 mm Hg lower than those who didn't nap, the findings showed.
Overall, people who napped had more favorable readings (128.7 systolic/76.2 diastolic) than those who didn't (134.5 systolic/79.5 diastolic), the researchers reported.
"We obviously don't want to encourage people to sleep for hours on end during the day, but on the other hand, they shouldn't feel guilty if they can take a short nap, given the potential health benefits," Kallistratos said in an American College of Cardiology (ACC) news release.
High blood pressure affects nearly half of American adults, though many don't know they have it. High blood pressure is one of the main risk factors for heart attack and stroke.
The study findings are scheduled to be presented March 18 at the ACC's annual meeting, in New Orleans. Research presented at meetings is typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

ONYX Hospitality Group has a management agreement with Laos-based Asia Investment, Development & Construction Sole Co,Ltd. (AIDC), to develop a new-build Amari hotel in the city centre of Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. AIDC is an investment and construction joint venture led by Tang Charoen Group, developer of Amari Vang Vieng which opened early this year.
Pheutsapha Phoummasak, President of Asia Investment, Development & Construction Sole Co.,Ltd. (AIDC), said "We are pleased to be in partnership with ONYX Hospitality Group, one of leading hotel management companies in Asia Pacific, for the first time. I look forward to being a part of this project's success. We are proud to play a key role in Laos' ongoing tourism and robust economic growth. Laos is a beautiful country with a huge tourism potential, with its natural wonders and welcoming people, and is poised to be one of the fastest growing Southeast Asian destinations among international travellers. "
Houa Sengaroun, President of Tang Charoen Group, said "To be working with ONYX Hospitality Group in opening our second Amari property in Laos is an excellent opportunity for all parties to learn and grow. Following the opening of Amari Vang Vieng earlier this year, we are proud of the positive feedback and performance, as well as the role this hotel has played in raising international awareness of Laos. I look forward to the opportunity of working together on future projects."


The next best thing in leadership? Master the basics!
It's hard to disagree with this list. However, nothing on it struck me as being unique to virtual teams. Shouldn't leaders be doing these things with any team?
I decided to look for some other articles to recommend and found much of the same thing. They were good reminders of leading but didn't really providing any insight into the dynamics of working with someone who is virtual.
There are clearly certain accommodations that must be made when leading in a virtual environment.
However, I'd bet that 90% of what it takes to lead an effective virtual team is the same as leading any team.
Working with virtual teams. Managing Millennials and other generations. Engaging employees. Working during times of change and uncertainty. Creating excellent customer experiences. Working in a data-driven environment.
These are all things we are being asked to do.
When a new leadership "issue" surfaces, there are flurries of articles providing advice. In most cases, despite some repackaging and fancy models, most of these articles pretty much just recycle the time-tested principles of good leadership.
Too many leaders are looking for a shortcut to becoming better. It doesn't exist. Being a good leader is hard, intentional, and on-going work. If it wasn't, everyone would be a good leader.
By putting in the time and effort to master the basics, you will be better positioned for any new challenge that comes along. That's not to say that there aren't unique skills, attitudes, and behaviors required for leading in specific contexts. It's just that most of the time those build upon some of the basic principles.
Take time to know the people with whom you are working (employees, customers, peers, leadership) – what they want, what they need, what motivates them, where they struggle, etc.
Don't use one-size fits all approaches when managing people. Each person is different – treat them that way.
This list is by no means complete. However, it's a start. If you get these right, you will already be halfway (or further) in following the advice of any new article that comes your way. Master the basics of being a good leader. Doing so will save you a lot of time in the long run. You won't have to keep learning the "new" stuff.

This paper is a report on the findings of a questionnaire study conducted on a young learners using self-paced computer-assisted language learning (CALL) system for three years. Text mining techniques were used to examine the relationship between the training effect of the second language (L2) and pupils' self-efficacy toward L2 learning. Findings indicate that pupils who improve their proficiency on L2 syllables tend to get interested in "conversation," "interlocutor," "sentence," and so on. On the other hand, pupils whose self-efficacy were rather low tend to have difficulty on "discrimination of phonemes," "listening," or "conversation." The results implicate that learners obtain a feeling of self-efficacy on L2 conversation when they think they have acquired factors related to language rhythm while they could lose self-confidence when they are immature in L2 sound system.

Super Dancer Chapter 3: 6 Year Old Rupsa Wins The Trophy, Takes The Cash Price Of Rs 15 Lakhs
Authors: Mahi Kharbanda
After months of entertaining the country every weekend with her fantabulous performances, The 6-year-old Rupsa Batabyal, from Kolkata has won the famous Dance Reality Show Super Dancer Chapter 3. The little dancing queen has managed to win many hearts and impressed everyone with her spectacular dance moves. Rupsa was also awarded a cash prize of Rs 15 lakh along with a trophy while her guru Nishant Bhat got Rs 5 lakh for his extraordinary effort. Tejas Verma from Mumbai was declared as the first runner up and gave a tough competition to little Rupsa. Her varied dance styles not only managed to impress the audience and judges but also made the guest judges like Alia Bhatt, Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha in awe of her.
The Grand Finale set the stage on fire as the contestants and their gurus performed for one last time on the platform making it a night to remember. Judges Anurag Basu, Shilpa Shetty, and Geeta Kapoor along with the hosts Rithvik Dhanjani and TRP Mama (Paritosh Tripathi) recalled the wonderful journey and highlighted some great moments they experienced through the show.
Week after week the contestants worked really hard and stepped out of their comfort zone to give fabulous performances that fascinated the whole country. The journey of the Top 5 contestants – Rupsa Batabyal, Tejas Verma, Gaurav Sarwan, Saksham Sharma, and Jayshree Gogoi has been an inspiring one and there is a lot to learn from these little wonders.
After winning the show, Rupsa said, "It feels really nice and I am very happy to have won the trophy of Super Dancer Chapter - 3. I will continue dancing because I love it. I look forward to going home, to Kolkata, and celebrating with my entire family."
Rupsa's mentor, Nishant Bhatt said, "I still remember, when I was paired with Rupsa, I was perplexed. She is only 6 years old. So it proved to be a learning ground for me – from becoming friends with her to identifying her strengths as a dancer to working according to her moods, to building that chemistry together and many other things. It took time, but I am glad we could establish a bond. She doesn't speak much, but her dancing does all the talking. She is a gifted child and extremely hardworking. I wish her the best in all that the future holds for her!"
Shilpa Shetty Kundra was extremely happy after Rupsa's victory. She said, "She deserves this victory. The way she performed week after week was really incredible. I am blessed that as judges, we could become a catalyst in her journey."
Geeta Kapoor said, "I am the happiest right now as her journey and her hard work has paid off. I just want her to be happy and continue what she is doing right now as she is too small to be pushed at something specific. She needs to enjoy what she is doing." And lastly director
Anurag Basu said, "Rupsa is a versatile dancer who has tried all different types of dance forms on this platform. Honestly, her journey has just begun."

The youngest of a large extended family, Blanch grew up in Willow Tree, a small rural town northwest of Sydney, where her parents reared thoroughbreds.
Despite her rural childhood, Blanch set her sights on magazines. As a teenager, she spent all her pocket money on subscriptions to US Harper's Bazaar, UK Vogue and Tatler. During a stint as a PR assistant while still at university, she realised it was writing that resonated with her.
With a staff of 20 and a team of global contributors, Russh magazine's tag line is 'Australian at heart, international in mindset'. Is this her? 'Absolutely. I am always travelling but when I land on the tarmac at Sydney airport I'm without fail overwhelmed at how lucky I feel to call Australia home.'
For her, fashion is not just about clothes, but the stories created around them.
Jess will lead the discussion, as moderator of FUTURE FORWARD 2018.

Under the New Trump Standard, Why Wasn't Obama Impeached?
In the era of President Donald Trump, Democrats think presidents should be impeached over policy differences.
In Trump's case, the Democrats accuse him of winning the election by "colluding" with Russia to win. After nearly a year of investigations, there does not appear to be any evidence. Yet many Democrats have already called for impeachment.
In truth, Democrats want this President out because they don't like him or his policies. One of Trump's major campaign promises was to build a "wall" to protect our southern border. Never mind that, in 2006, 26 Democratic senators — including Hillary Clinton, then-Sen. Barack Obama and Chuck Schumer — voted for hundreds of miles of barriers and fencing. And every Senate Democrat voted for 2013's Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act, which again called for hundreds of miles of barriers.
But Trump is "racist" and "xenophobic." Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, calls Trump a "bigot in the White House who incites hatred and hostility," which, says Green, is a "high misdemeanor" that constitutes an impeachable offense.
All right, let's apply the Democrats' new standard for impeachment to President Obama and his decision in 2011 to pull all the troops from Iraq against the advice of his national security team. President George W. Bush warned his successor. Bush turned around the Iraq War with his controversial "surge," a troop increase of about 21,500 in 2007. Former Vice President Dick Cheney, in October 2011, two months before Obama pulled out all the troops in Iraq, said that Bush's 2007 agreement envisioned a negotiation for a stay-behind force: "There was another provision in (Bush's status-of-forces agreement) that's very important, seems to have been ignored, which was that we would also reserve the right to negotiate with the Iraqis on some stay-behind forces. ... They're a new democracy; they're not very well-organized yet. I worry that in the rush for the exit here, that we may in fact make it very difficult for them to succeed."
But then-Sen. Barack Obama, who called the Iraq War "dumb," not only opposed Bush's surge but also predicted it would make things worse: "I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse. ... So I am going to actively oppose the President's proposal."
But the surge did work.
By 2008, the violence subsided to the point where American soldiers, celebrating with Iraqis in Ramadi, were on the streets not even wearing their helmets. War correspondent Dexter Filkins, who had all but given up in Iraq when he was last there just two years earlier, could not believe the improvement: "The progress here is remarkable," said Filkins in 2008. "I came back to Iraq after being away for nearly two years, and honestly, parts of it are difficult for me to recognize. The park out in front of the house where I live — on the Tigris River — was a dead, dying, spooky place. It's now filled with people — families with children, women walking alone, even at night. That was inconceivable in 2006. The Iraqis who are out there walking in the parks were making their own judgments — that it is safe enough for them to go out for a walk. They're voting with their feet. It's a wonderful thing to see."
But Filkins warned that the gains could erode. "It's pretty clear," Filkins said, "that the calm is very fragile. The calm is built on a series of arrangements that are not self-sustaining; indeed, some of which, like the Sunni Awakening, are showing signs of coming apart. So the genie is back in the bottle, but I'm not sure for how long."
Obama, however, pulled out all the troops against the advice given by Obama's CIA chief, his secretary of defense, the United States ambassador to Iraq, his national security adviser, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. This commander in chief with no military experience rejected the apparent unanimous advice from his defense team: Leave a stay-behind force or run the risk of terrorists filling the power vacuum.
But Obama did not listen.
As to the Joint Chiefs' opposition to what became known as the "Iraq bug-out," now-retired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said: "I go back to the work we did in 2007 (through) 2010, and we got into a place that was really good. Violence was low, the economy was growing, politics looked like it was heading in the right direction. ... We thought we had it going exactly in the right direction, but now we watch it fall apart. It's frustrating. ... I think, maybe, if we had stayed a little more engaged, I think maybe it might have prevented it."
If policy disagreement is the new standard for impeachment in the Trump era, wouldn't Obama's Iraq bug-out qualify?
