Twitch - how it all began Founded in 2011, Twitch was initially launched as a spin-off of the general-interest streaming platform Justin.tv. The site primarily focuses on video gaming, including play through of video games, broadcasts of e-sports competitions, and more recently, creative content. Twitch Creative, the outlet for creative content, was launched on October 28, 2015. The launch included a marathon of Bob Ross ' "The Joy of Painting". Some of the most popular channels on Twitch are owned by YouTube gaming personalities who are taking advantage of the website’s live streaming capabilities in order to interact more with their audiences. Users are able to participate in a live chat during video broadcast, with broadcasters frequently reacting to and replying to comments and questions from the chat in real time. In August 2014, Twitch was acquired by Amazon for 970 million U.S. dollars. It was the company’s fifth most expensive acquisition of all time.

Cosmetics worldwide
Since the early twentieth century, the production of cosmetics has been controlled by a handful of multi-national corporations. The global cosmetics industry is broken down into six main categories; skin care being the largest one out of them all, accounting for 41 percent of the global market in 2022.
United States: a lucrative market
In recent years, consumers have been spending higher levels of disposable income on cosmetics than they had in the past. Unfortunately, the global financial crisis has put a damper on the market and during those years, more affordably priced merchandise and do it yourself at home products were key in the beauty market. However, with Generation Z entering the job market, there is now a a big driver of the cosmetics market; especially in the United States. The United States is the biggest cosmetic market in the world, with an estimated total revenue of about 49 billion U.S. dollars as of 2022.
A look to the future
In the coming years, in order to attract new consumers, global cosmetic companies will continue to focus their efforts on product innovation and especially, on responding to the needs of consumers, such as sustainable products that do not harm the environment or animals, as well as inclusive products, so that cosmetics and beauty can be accessible to anyone.

Richest people in the United States - additional information
Every year since 1982, the American business magazine Forbes has been compiling lists of the 400 richest people in the United States, known as the “Forbes 400.” In addition to that, since 1987, the publication has also been compiling a ranking of the 500 richest people in the world (excluding royalty and dictators), as well as more specialized tops, such as “World's Most Powerful Women,” “America's Richest Families,” “Most Valuable Brands” or “30 Under 30,” which focuses on young entrepreneurs from various fields which have gained millions in the past year by the use of social media, technical innovations and generally new and fresh approaches to business.
As of June 2024, the music video of Luis Fonsi's and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" had a total of 8.47 billion views, being the most-watched video on YouTube by a Latin American artist and the second most-viewed video of all time. It was also the first video in the history of YouTube to surpass six billion views, already in 2017. Another Reggaeton artist, Panamanian El Chombo, ranked second with "Dame Tu Cosita" (featuring Jamaican singer Cutty Ranks), with more than 4.68 billion views. Among Latin American artists, Shakira was the only female pop star to appear twice in the top ten, ranking third with the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, "Waka Waka", and sixth with "Chantaje" (featuring fellow Colombian singer Maluma).
The popularity of Latin artists on YouTube is not just a matter of cultural success, but also a case of the medium being part of the message. Mostly free and easily accessible on desktop and mobile devices, the video platform is one of the defining aspects of social media usage in the Caribbean. YouTube is omnipresent in the Latin American online video landscape, with markets like Brazil and Mexico being the platform’s third and fifth-largest markets worldwide.
The growth of mobile connectivity in Latin America and the Caribbean indeed helps the expansion of social and media platforms like YouTube, but structural problems on the continent might still hinder part of its population’s access to its cultural production. The homeland of Shakira, Colombia, has much higher access to YouTube on desktop devices than on mobile, highlighting the country’s regional differences in internet penetration. Nonetheless, the overall imbalance in the region’s purchase power makes YouTube’s free version much more accepted than its paid premium format.

In 2023, the total international visitor arrivals to Singapore was approximately 13.61 million. The number of international visitors to Singapore had significantly increased, indicating a recovery from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Singapore is one of Asia’s leading transport hubs for international air passenger traffic, and serves as a transit point between Asia and the rest of the world. It is surrounded by several popular destinations among international tourists, such as Thailand, Bali in Indonesia, and Malaysia. Even so, Singapore had managed to market itself as a must-visit tourist destination in its own right, attracting repeat visitors by offering unique city experiences such as the Gardens by the Bay, and integrated resorts boasting casinos and amusement parks.
Indonesia was Singapore’s largest feeder market for international visitors in 2023, followed by China and Malaysia. The majority of international visitors to Singapore were there for holiday purposes, and stayed for an average of 3.79 nights. The relatively expensive cost of accommodation in Singapore and the relatively compact location of the major attractions make it easier for tourists to see the sights in a short period of time.
