An excerpt from Allegra Goodman's novel Intuition.
To outsiders, scientific research may seem a cut-and-dried endeavor in which an army of lab assistants carries out experiments with 100% precision, gathering data to support an unassailable hypothesis. Yet one layperson has imagined this world very differently, where the full range of human flaws—deception, jealousy, egotism—are at play. Allegra Goodman's new novel, Intuition (The Dial Press, 2006), traces the fallout as Cliff Bannaker comes under suspicion for omitting data to magnify the success of a cancer drug. This passage offers just a taste of Goodman's revelation that in science, neither the methods nor the motives are necessarily pure.
"Ah." She sat back sharply in her chair.
She caught her breath. She had him. Not in the angry outburst, as he thought, but in the wavering afterward. She gazed at him as though she'd just made a bloody discovery.
"Not true. Not true at all," he protested.
He didn't see. His guard was up again. Once more he maintained he had done nothing wrong. She wanted a confession, but he had nothing to confess. After all, he could not confess to Marion what he would not confess to himself. What he told himself about his work was not exactly what he had done. What he had done, not exactly what it should have been. Still, Cliff's own perceptions of his actions were coherent, internally consistent. He clung to his defense for safety.
Perhaps his work with R-7 had been more about ideas than concrete facts; perhaps his findings had been intuitive rather than entirely empirical. He had not followed every rule. Strictly speaking, he had not broken the necks of all his mice, but gassed them, instead. He had not dissected every animal. He had not chosen to discuss every piece of data, but had run ahead with the smaller set of startling results he'd found. Still, aspects of his data were so compelling that in his mind they outweighed everything else. He had sifted out what was significant, and the rest had floated off like chaff.


Vaccines Trigger Autism in Genetically Susceptible Children. – an evidence-based, heartfelt blog.
In 2010, the U.S. government awarded the family of Hannah Poling 1.5+ million dollars for vaccine-induced autism. At that point in time, there were 4,800 families who had petitioned the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) and were waiting to be heard in "vaccine court" – where there is no jury of peers, no fair trial. A court-appointed "special master" hears the case and decides whether or not the family will be compensated for the injuries sustained by the vaccines that were administered.
Why? In 1986, vaccine manufacturers were granted immunity to lawsuits and could no longer be sued when their products inevitably caused death or injury. They are no longer liable. After the law was passed, the number of shots in the CDC schedule increased dramatically. With no liability, there was no reason to proceed with caution. More and more vaccines being recommended or mandated by the CDC = more $$$. No other industry was granted this kind of legal protection.
As of January 2018, the VICP has paid out over 3.8 billion dollars for vaccine injuries and deaths. This represents only a fraction of individuals who have petitioned the VICP for compensation. Two-thirds of all petitions are denied. Unfortunately, the independent scientific evidence showing that vaccines and their ingredients can and do trigger autism is typically ignored by our government, and the fraudulent CDC study which claimed to end the debate on whether or not the MMR vaccine caused autism has been used to deny vaccine injury victims compensation by the VICP. Considering the impediments that parents experience in getting their child's vaccine-induce autism recognized by medical professionals and our government, if the amount paid out by the VICP reflected the true amount of vaccine-injured individuals, it would be much, much higher.
(2) Symptoms of aluminum toxicity and mercury toxicity are, but not limited to: cognitive and neurobehavioral deficits, speech and language impairment, personality changes, altered mood, depression, motor disturbances, weakness, fatigue, and seizure.
(3) Autism is associated with an increased toxic metal body burden and reduced glutathione levels. Glutathione depletion is implicated in the pathology of a variety of brain disorders.
(4) Genetic mutations (e.g. MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism) can further enhance toxicity of the metals, aluminum and mercury, through reduced folate levels and reduced folate processing which affects glutathione production and detoxification.
(5) MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism has been linked to an increased risk of autism. In one study, it was found that 98% of children with autism had at least one MTHFR gene mutation.
(6) It is approximated that up to 60% of the population has a genetic polymorphism of MTHFR. Most of those individuals have one copy (heterozygous) but some have two copies (homozygous) which is much more severe and results in significantly reduced capacity for detoxification.
(7) The amount of vaccines given today has dramatically increased since the 80s, as has the incidence of autism.
(8) Vaccines have been found to be contaminated with the toxic herbicide glyphosate, which is implicated in autism.
(9) Vaccine ingredients are linked to neurological disorders such as ALS, Gulf War Syndrome, & Alzheimer's.
(11) Our government, via taxpayer money, has compensated more than one family for vaccine-induce autism. In fact, an investigation found that there were 83 cases of autism associated with compensated cases of vaccine-induced brain injury. And other reports state that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Based on the above, how can we be told over and over again that there's no evidence linking autism to vaccines?
Ok. Most of us who have witnessed vaccine-triggered or vaccine-induced autism will admit that vaccines clearly don't always cause autism and are not the sole cause of autism (it's the toxic exposure). But vaccines can cause autism (and developmental delays, and neurological damage) in genetically susceptible individuals. For every parent who had a healthy, normally developing, neurotypical child prior to vaccination and witnessed their child regress into autism within days or weeks of receiving vaccines – vaccines were the cause. Their child may have never been pushed over the edge and into autism had they not been vaccinated.
The problem is that children who regress into autism after vaccines do not typically exhibit health concerns prior to regression. There aren't obvious signs to new parents that their child may be susceptible, unless they already know about mid-line defects like tongue ties and other signs of MTHFR / methylation issues. Therefore, unless you perform genetic testing on yourself prior to vaccines in pregnancy, or on your newborn at birth, you won't know if your child will be one who is susceptible to vaccine-induced autism. And even if you knew your child had the genetic wherewithal to not fully regress into autism following vaccines, does it seem right to inject them with substances so toxic that they can cause chronic neurological damage in previously normal, healthy children? With more vaccines and more booster shots added to the CDC schedule as the years go on, more and more children without MTHFR mutations will be harmed. Injecting these toxic substances may ultimately harm anyone and everyone, but the damage may not be visible until much later.
I share this information with you in hopes that you would proceed with great caution. There are thousands of parents who would do anything to go back in time and choose differently for their child.
If you'd like to learn more about the VICP petitioning process, here's an explanation of how it works.
I want to add, that there are more gene mutations at play than just MTHFR. And MTHFR is implicated in a wide variety of illnesses. This is to get you started if you've never seen this evidence before.
Keep reading, keep questioning. Listen to your gut, follow your instincts. Do what you can to protect yourself and your child from unnecessary harm.

Good article! It's perfectly ok to say vaccines cause autism… sometimes, in some people. Autism is not something that is triggered. It is an acquired cellular detoxification deficiency syndrome… hope to have my paper presenting that published very soon!

Authentication in IIS verifies whether a user attempting to access a particular website, can indeed access it. Authentication is the process that verifies whether the user can access the site which he/she is attempting to access. The authentication methods which can be used to authenticate users in IIS 6 are listed below. Each authentication method can be used to authenticate users attempting to access Web sites. However, only Anonymous access and Basic Authentication can be used as an authentication method for FTP sites.
Anonymous access: This authentication method is enabled by default for both the Default Web Site and Default FTP Site. Anonymous access allows all anonymous users to access the content of the Web site. Anonymous access is typically utilized for public Web sites which are connected to the Internet.
Basic Authentication: This is the weakest authentication method available for IIS, and should be utilized when you cannot use any other authentication method. Basic authentication uses a clear-text username and password. Basic Authentication functions over proxy servers, and works with all browser clients. Basic Authentication is enabled for FTP sites, by default.
Integrated Windows Authentication: This is the most secure option that can be used for authentication in IIS. Kerberos version 5 is utilized if the client browser includes support for the protocol. NTLM authentication is used when the client browser does not support Kerberos.
Digest Authentication can only be enabled if Active Directory is used. Digest Authentication sends the user credentials over the network by utilizing an encrypted MD5 hash.
.NET Passport Authentication: In this authentication method, .NET passports are utilized for authentication, and authentication occurs via a single sign on method. The credentials of users have unique Passport accounts which are stored on Passport servers connected to the Internet. The Passport servers are managed by Microsoft. IIS sends the Passport information of the user to the Passport servers for authentication when a user attempts to access an IIS Web site.
Right-click a Web site in the console tree, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties dialog box of the Web site opens, click the Directory Security tab.
In the Authentication and Access Control section of the Directory Security tab, click the Edit button.
The Authentication Methods dialog box opens. You can configure the authentication methods just discussed on this dialog box.
When securing IIS through permissions, the two types of permissions that are important are NTFS permissions and Web permissions. NTFS permissions form the basis of both Windows Server 2003 and IIS security, and control whether users are permitted to access files and folders, and the level of access users have. There are different levels of NTFS permissions in Windows Server 2003. There are also differences when NTFS permissions are applied on files, and when they are applied on folders.
NTFS permissions control what entity can access certain parts of the disk system. You can configure access to resources by either allowing or denying permissions to uses and groups. Resource access permissions are located as access control entries (ACEs) on an access control list (ACL). This forms a component of the security descriptor of every resource. A user can then only access a resource when the security access token of the user is matched to the security identifiers (SIDs) in the access control entries (ACEs) of the access control list (ACL). The security access token of the user holds the SIDs of the user's account and group accounts.
The two versions of NTFS are NTFS 4.0 and NTFS 5.0. NTFS 4.0 is commonly used with Windows NT 4.0. Although NTFS 4.0 suppors local and remote access control on files and folders, it does not support the majority of Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 file system features. NTFS 5.0 on the other hand supports Active Directory directory service, encryption, compression, and disk quota, among other features.
Full Control: Allows users to perform all functions on files and folders, including creating new folders, changing and deleting files, attaching data to files, taking ownership of the file, changing the attributes of the files and folders, and changing permissions on the file.
Modify: Allows users to list the contents of a folder and read the data in the folder's files, add and delete files, change files and the properties of files, and change the attributes of files and folders.
Read & Execute: Allows users to view the attributes of a file or folder and to execute files (programs) located in folders. Users can also list the contents of a folder, and read data contained in the folder.
List Folder Contents: Allows users to list a folder's contents, and view the attributes of files and folders.
Write: Allows users to create new files and folders, change the attributes of a file or folder, overwrite a file, and view file ownership and permission.
Read: The Read permission allows users to view a file and any subfolder names, attributes, properties, ownership, and list the contents of a folder.
In the console tree, right-click the Default Web Site and click Permissions from the shortcut menu.
Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Write, and Read.
Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read.
Internet Guest Account: This group can be used to enable anonymous users to access the content on websites.
The Read permission is set to Deny.
Internet Guest Account: No permissions are assigned.
Web permissions or IIS access permissions control access to Web content on IIS sites. The Web permissions which you can configure are listed below.
Right-click the appropriate Web site and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties dialog box of the site opens, click the Home Directory tab.
Script Source Access: When selected, users will be able to access the source code of ASP pages, and change them when the Write permission is also enabled. It is recommended to only enable this permission on servers used for development purposes.
Read: When selected, users can read or download files which are located in the directory.
Write: When selected, users can add and change Web content.
Directory Browsing: When enabled, users are permitted to browse the directory structure.
Log Visits: You can enable logging for the website by selecting the Log Visits option. You should also select the Enable Logging checkbox on the Web Site tab when you select the Log Visits option.
Index This Resource: When selected, the Microsoft Windows Content Indexing Service creates an index of the home folder.
For all Websites: You can configure Web permissions for all websites through the Home Directory tab of the Web Sites node's Properties dialog box. All websites on the IIS server would inherit these permissions.
For a specific Web site(s): You can configure Web permissions for a specific Web site through the Home Directory tab of that particular Web site Properties dialog box.
For a specific directory or virtual directory: When you configure Web permissions at the directory level or virtual directory level, the permissions are inherited by all files within the particular directory. You can configure Web permissions for a specific directory through the Directory tab of that particular directory's Properties dialog box. Web permissions can be configured for a specific virtual directory through the Virtual Directory tab of that particular virtual directory's Properties dialog box.
For a specific file located in a virtual directory: You can configure Web permissions for a file in a virtual directory through the File tab of the file's Properties dialog box.
Check which permissions have been configured for the home directory.
If Anonymous access is enabled, verify that no password has been specified.
Verify whether any IP Address and Domain Name restrictions have been configured, which may deny access to the user.
You can restrict Web access at the IP address level by only allowing users to access a site who are using an IP address from a predefined list of approved IP addresses. In this manner, you can control access to websites, directories and files based on IP addresses or domain names.
Right-click the Web site in the console tree, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions section of the Directory Security tab, click the Edit button.
When the Address and Domain Name Restrictions dialog box opens, you can specify that all computers are granted access, or you can specify those computers which should not be granted access by listing their IP address or domain name.
Click the Add button to include particular users' IP addresses in a list.

Because of the security vulnerabilities associated with parent paths, it is disabled in IIS 6.
Locate and right-click the application root node, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
Click either the Home Directory tab, or the Virtual Directory tab.
When the Application Configuration dialog box opens, click the Options tab.
Check the Enable Parent Paths checkbox.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption technology that uses public key cryptography to create an encrypted session key to secure communication between a Web server and a Web client. One of the requirements of using the SSL encryption technology is that you need to acquire a digital certificate and install it on the Web server as a server certificate. The digital certificate verifies the identity of the server to the client and also encrypts communications between the server and a client. You can obtain a digital certificate from an external certificate authority, such as VeriSign, GlobalSign or Thawte; or you can configure an internal CA for the organization.
You would need to install and use Certificate Services to configure an internal CA. There are two types of CAs which you can configure, namely an Enterprise CA, or a Stand-alone CA.
Enterprise CAs: An enterprise CA stores its certificate information in Active Directory. Enterprise CAs are essentially dependent on Active Directory to store and replicate certificate data. What this means is that the enterprise CAs have to be configured as domain controllers.
Right-click the Default Web Site node and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
When the Default Web Site Properties dialog box opens, click the Directory Security tab.
Click the Server Certificate button in the Secure Communications section of the tab.
The Web Server Certificate Wizard starts.

Select the TCP port that should be used for SSL connections. The default port used is port 443. Click Next.
Specify the CA from whom you want to obtain the server certificate. Click Next.
Verify that you have selected the correct configuration settings on the Summary page.
The new server certificate is obtained from the CA and installed on the ISS server.
Locate and right-click the Default Web Site node, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties dialog box of the Default Web Site opens, click the Directory Security tab.
Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section of the tab.
When the Secure Communications dialog box opens, click the Require Secure Channel (SSL) checkbox.
How to manage existing server certificates on the IIS server.
The Web Server Certificate Wizard restarts, and presents the following options for managing the server certificate.
Renew the existing server certificate.
Delete or replace the existing server certificate. This is typically necessary when the server certificate has expired, and when SSL connections are no longer being used.
Copy or move the existing server certificate to a different server or site.
Export the existing server certificate.
The event logs contain error, warning, and information events which are logged by IIS. The Web logs contain additional information on these events which can be helpful in troubleshooting IIS issues, and recognizing unusual traffic patterns which could be indicative of an attack on the Web server.
The Web logs provide specific information to the causes of HTTP errors.
Web Sites level: This automatically enables Web logging for all websites hosted in the IIS server.
Particular Web sites: You can enable Web logging for individual Web sites.
After Web logging is enabled, you can specify those home directories, virtual directories, sub directories, and files which should have access logging enabled.
Right-click the Default Web Site node, and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
When the Properties dialog box of the Default Web Site opens, click the Enable Logging checkbox on the Web Site tab.
W3C Extended Log File format: This is the default log file format used for IIS logging. It allows you to choose which properties should be written to the Web logs. Because you can customize the properties written to the Web logs, the W3C Extended Log File format is considered more flexible than the other formats.
IIS Log File format: This fixed log file format cannot be customized and is hardly utilized these days.
NCSA Log File Format: This fixed log file format cannot be customized but can be utilized by most of the existing web server products. The W3C Extended Log File format is though still a better option to use.
ODBC Logging format: Because ODBC logging generally negatively affects IIS server performance, it is strongly recommended to not enable this logging format. Enabling ODBC logging disables kernel-mode caching in IIS.
Centralized Binary Logging format: This logging format is typically used when an ISP hosts a vast number of websites on one IIS machine, because it allows all these websites to log to one log file. The Centralized Binary Logging format is a new feature of IIS.
If you want to log access to all physical directories, virtual directories, subdirectories and files, click the Home Directory tab and select the Log Visits checkbox.
If you want to specify that access to files within a virtual directory be logged, navigate to the Properties dialog of the virtual directory, and click the Virtual Directory tab.

Find out why it's so important to wear your retainer after orthodontic treatment in Portage.
If you've just gotten your braces off then congratulations! You probably couldn't be happier to have a straighter smile and to finally say goodbye to your braces; however, you may be a little less than thrilled to find out you have to wear your retainer, but this is a crucial step to maintaining that beautiful new smile that you worked so hard to get.
It doesn't matter if you've worn traditional metal braces or Invisalign, when anyone opts for orthodontic treatment they must wear retainers even after their treatment is over. The purpose of wearing braces is to shift your teeth into their proper alignment; however, as we age our teeth begin to move forward and inward. This means that unless we have something like a retainer to keep teeth in place, they will most likely shift right back to their original position after your braces are removed.
That's why we may recommend that you wear your retainers for at least 12 hours a day immediately after having your braces removed; however, this will depend on the severity of your dental condition, you age and whether we need the retainers to help finalize your smile's alignment or just maintain it.
After about six months, patients can switch to only wearing their retainers at night. Wearing your braces while you are sleeping is vitally important to maintaining your straight smile and we recommend you do this every night for the next year.
After you've worn your retainer for a full year, we will most likely tell you that you only have to wear it for a few nights each week (on average, most patients wear their retainer about three to five times a week).
While some patients are surprised to hear that they need to wear their retainers forever, we promise that orthodontics isn't suppose to feel like punishment. If you want to have a beautiful and consistently straight smile then you need to wear your retainer. Luckily, nighttime wear isn't a big deal and most patients find it easy to adjust to wearing their retainers while they sleep.
However, retainers don't last forever. This means that you will need to get your retainers replaced at some point. Most last anywhere from two to 10 years depending on how well you care for them. When you come in for your routine dental visit, your Portage orthodontist can tell you if it's time to get a new one.
If you have any questions about your retainer or your oral health post-braces, call your Portage orthodontist today. Also, you'll want to still see your dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and exam to make sure your smile still looks its best. If it's time to schedule your next visit with your Portage dentist, call our office today.

Timothy Christian earns way into tournament championship game
By Bobby Narang
Daily Herald Correspondent
Updated 12/28/2019 9:56 PM
Timothy Christian's Hannah Schuringa did the dirty work in the paint on Saturday.
Her teammate Sureya Alex handled the ballhandling duties and hit some late pressure shots.
The Trojans' junior combination proved to be too much for Walther Christian to handle. Schuringa scored a game-high 16 points and Alex added 10 in a 45-35 victory over the Broncos in the semifinals of the Lisle Holiday Cage Classic.
The Trojans (10-4) enter new territory -- at least in recent years -- by taking on Rosary in Monday's 8 p.m. championship game at Lisle High School.
Timothy Christian coach Jill Groenewold couldn't recall the last time the program played in the Lisle title game.
"It's been a long time, probably late '90s," she said.
Schuringa and Alex chose to focus on the recent history of the program.
"In our high school career we have not even been on the winner's side of the bracket," Alex said. "To be in the championship game in our third year of the tournament, we are so ready to go after our day off."
Alex was steady late in the game against the Broncos' pressure defense, helping the Trojans limit their turnovers and hitting a key 3-pointer from the wing to pad the lead to 39-31 with 4:25 left. Alex added two free throws to raise the lead to 41-31 with 2:26 remaining.
"Hannah and Alex have played steady all week," Groenewold said. "Sureya did a nice job running our offense and wasn't too disturbed by their man-to-man pressure. Hannah is just Hannah. She has a lot of good gifts and finished around the hole. It was a great team effort."
The Broncos mounted a third-quarter comeback to get back in the game, scoring the first five points of the third quarter after trailing 26-12 at halftime. The Broncos cut the deficit was cut to eight points, but Alex scored on a layup to end the third for a 36-28 lead.
But the Trojans extended their defense and limited driving lanes for the Broncos, who only scored two baskets in the fourth and managed just two points in an 11-possession stretch.
In the first half the Trojans shrugged off a slow start to blitz the Broncos in the final 13 minutes of the first half. Schuringa scored 10 points to spark the Trojans to a comfortable 26-12 lead at halftime.
"My game is a lot of layups and that was open sometimes during the game," Schuringa said. "I tried to take advantage when I had a good opening or cut."

When designing a site, you'll must choose a internet hosting firm in the course of time. Even when you don't know significantly about web hosting, there are a few quick questions you may request to make sure you get what exactly you need at a price within your budget. Please read on for what you ought to consider in your hunt.
The down time in the web host must be carefully scrutinized. The time employed to conduct web host routine maintenance, plus the time of day the maintenance is conducted, must be taken into consideration. If they seem to be off the internet while in optimum hrs or often through the entire month, you require a greater host.
Support all of your information, don't rely on any web host to achieve this. It's under your control to ensure you backup your blog frequently. This can be the only method to make certain an issue doesn't ruin your information. If your internet site is Search engine optimisation intense, it can be specially significant to not take a risk on dropping everything work.
Be sure that there are no charges for cancellation. You may plan to stop your support after weeks. When you go to cancel, you may find out your organization includes a huge cancellation charge. This really is a traditional training, notably for website hosting solutions that are economical. Be sure you know what the consequences will be of concluding a legal contract earlier.
Inexpensive website hosts may not be the best option. Although you'll without doubt attempt by their discount prices, you must also realize that they often translate to poor professional services. They sometimes have got a high-risk business design, or these are reducing edges in a way that will find yourself affecting you and your internet site.
Learn about your would-be variety to find out what type of internet sites they handle. A great deal of free web sites provide only static web pages, so that you can't include words scripts of your very own. If you find your self requiring a powerful scripting site, you may want to locate an affordable pay hold instead.
Do not allow the volume of options available with internet hosting companies to overpower you. Above recent years, numerous new website hosting professional services have accessed the marketplace several offer rock-bottom costs. Do not forget that in web hosting, as with the majority of things, you obtain what you purchase. You are able to thin your alternatives down by looking for your top rated personal preferences within a hosting company, and comparing price ranges and offerings consequently.
A great hosting company is communicative. You will need a host that interacts using its buyers and offers them information about any updates or downtime and maintenance. Also, it is important to get a host company that could respond to your questions ought to any problems develop.
Read more about the background of your hosting service well before purchasing a plan. Some companies make outlandish promises or promises that should not be substantiated. Doing all of your research is the easiest method to create the right judgements.
See how huge your internet site will likely be in the next year and choose a web hosting plan that provides you sufficient hard disk room. An Web coding page requires hardly any area, but including pictures or video clips will require a lot more room. For hosting files by yourself, all around 100MB - 1 Gigabyte need to provide a excellent starting platform for your site.
If you enjoy services or design program from just one business, you don't should really feel you have to utilize the web hosting service they supply way too. Most hosts that you deal with will allow you to use different professional services, although you will probably have a more difficult time handling problems in this way.
Even though a web hold company is free, does not always mean you must principle it totally. You may be wary of totally free internet hosts due to the fact most of them spot banner advertisements in addition to your internet sites, making your site look less than professional. Nevertheless, some cost-free hosts don't use banner ad ads, so it's well worth considering free of charge hosting solutions that get your interest as an alternative to ruling them out quickly. Take into account that employing a free of charge variety could help you save lots of money every single year.
Ensure that your domain address is signed up by you rather than your hosting provider to help you ensure that it stays should you alter providers. This locations the charge of your site up to you, instead of your host's.
Picking a web host that is personally located in the very same nation for your website visitors will enhance the pace of your own web site considerably. For instance, should your company site is aimed at United kingdom inhabitants, be sure that your computer data host is near your audience.
Will not choose a free of charge web host just because the services are free of charge. Web hosting service professional services that are totally free usually force you to have ads on your own web site. In some cases, the adverts will never be related to your blog and you will be unable to manage what seems in your internet site. Ads will pop up randomly, completely beyond your handle. It will not only give your website an not professional appearance, your visitors will almost certainly resent the invasion.
Browse the internet site of your own potential web host. If the business carries a doubtful, glitchy or else in question internet site, steer clear of it. They can be a new organization without any practical experience or perhaps a rip-off. A well constructed site displays they may have an effective consideration with regards to detail and so they have good practical experience in terms of web design along with regards to Web coding.
Before signing in the dotted digital line, make certain you be aware of information on your determination by using a number supplier. You should know about hidden charges that their commercials don't mention. Certain items, like concealed service fees, fees, and fees and penalties when the contract's size isn't followed by way of, could tally up in a major way should you don't exercise caution.
Trying to find a hosting company is absolutely just like seeking close to for whatever else. You should know precisely what you wish and after that decide what is actually a value that will work for you, then you need to find something which aligns with these requirements. With any luck ,, with all the details you have gained with this particular write-up, it is possible to accomplish exactly that.

Q: I need to sort my random numbers generated and add them to the second editText2 package com.example.sai.generatinrandomnumbers;

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.EditText;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Random;

// I need to sort my random numbers generated and add them to the second editText2 in my application i tried using collections but i couldn't figure it out plz help me and I'm attaching my code below.should i use a arraylist again??
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    EditText editText, editText2;
    Button button, button2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
        editText.setEnabled(false);

        editText2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText2);
        editText2.setEnabled(false);

        button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                Random r = new Random();
                ArrayList<Integer> num = new ArrayList<Integer>();
                for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
                    int answer = r.nextInt(10) + 1;
                    num.add(answer);
                    editText.setText(String.valueOf(num));
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

A: You need to read all the Integers into your data structure and then print them back sorted to a 2nd EditText Widget. Alright, let's do something like this:
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Random r = new Random();
            ArrayList<Integer> num = getRandomNums(6);
            editText.setText(getStringNum(num));

            Collections.sort(num);
            editText2.setText(getStringNum(num));
    });

private List<Integer> getRandomNums(final int theNumDigits) {
    Random r = new Random();
    ArrayList<Integer> num = new ArrayList<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < theNumDigits; i++) {
        int answer = r.nextInt(10) + 1;
        num.add(answer);
        }

     return num;
 }

 private String getStringNum(final List<Integer> theNumbers) {
       StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
       for (int i = 0; i < theNumbers.size(); i++) {
           sb.append(num.get(i));
         }

        String toReturn = sb.toString();
        sb.setLength(0);
        return toReturn;

 }

I reformatted the code for you to help you understand exactly what is going on. You're getting all the randomly generated numbers and adding them to an ArrayList. Then creating a String using a StringBuilder You were overwriting your previously set value in the EditText each time your loop iterated
Then you call Collections.sort() and do the whole thing over again.

United Airlines Rock 'N' Roll Chengdu Marathon A Smash Hit
runrocknroll November 17, 2017
First ever Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series event in Asia attracts athletes from 37 countries
CHENGDU, China – The inaugural United Airlines Rock 'n' Roll Chengdu Marathon & ½ Marathon took place on Saturday, October 28 in Dujiangyan City, located just outside of Chengdu. Celebrating 20 years of history in 2017, the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series is the World's Largest Running Series and the Chengdu race was the first-ever event held in Asia. The City of Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan and the 10th largest city in China with over 7 million people. The event attracted running enthusiasts and music fans from around the world and included three distances: the marathon, half-marathon and a "fun-run."
"As the leading U.S. carrier connecting the U.S. and China, being a part of the first Rock 'N' Roll Chengdu race events was an honor," said Mark Krolick, Vice President of Marketing for United. "It was a great course, with great people in a great city and we can't wait to be back next year."
The event featured live local bands and entertainment at every mile along the course. Seven notable Chinese rock bands including Yao, Ashura and Islands in the South performed on the headliner stage near the finish line to kick-off the biggest running party in the southern Chinese city.
"Marathon running in China has made great progress. Every year millions of people join the sport. Events like the Beijing Marathon and the Shanghai International Marathon are sophisticated. I believe this Rock 'n' Roll Marathon event will continue to enter more Chinese cities to give runners a different and exciting experience," said Jeff Edwards, Operations Director of Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series in Asia.
To encourage the runners to take on new challenges, at the celebration party, the United Airlines Rock 'n' Roll Chengdu Marathon selected 18 runners to participate in any Abbott World Marathon Major race in 2018, of which six places were awarded to the top three men's and women's finishers, and 12 were announced in the lucky draw section on the main stage before the last song.
The United Airlines Rock 'n' Roll Chengdu Marathon 2017 was hosted in partnership with Dujiangyan People's Government, executed by the Dujiangyan Sports Bureau, and organized by Chengdu ShuangYi Sports. Ltd. It also received special support from the Wanda Sports Group. Together with the strong support of United Airlines, the title partner, this event was also generously supported by Under Armour, Michelob ULTRA and C'estbon. There were also several gold-level sponsors which supported the event, namely: Ito Yokado, West Hope Group, GARMIN, and Jingdong Sports.

Sport – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
A sport film is an extremely popular film genre which makes use of sport as the main theme of the movie. It's often a fictional creation where a sport, specific sport, fan of a particular sport, or participant of sport in general are heavily involved, and that rely strongly on sport to some extent for their plot rationale or resolution. Most of these films have a heavy media focus on their subject, and many times take great lengths to document and sometimes even create a sense of reality or lore behind their subject. There are a lot of successful sports movies out there, but what makes a movie "worthy" of the term?
The first criteria for making a "sports film" is the medium involved – it should be done predominantly in one form of media. Film has had a massive influence on the medium of TV, with many shows, such as Sportscenter, covering sporting events. TV has also helped to fuel the popularity of many sports' magazines, which have been successful for many years, including Sports Illustrated, to name a few. Video games and internet marketing also play a large role in spreading the word about certain sports events, like baseball and football, which means that if a major sport happens to be in your area, you should make it a point to see it (and enjoy it!) If you live in the UK, there's always the ever popular League Two match between Fleetwood Mac and Hapoel Beil high on the sports ticker.
Some of the most successful sports stories are those that follow the athletes, such as those who won the Olympic gold medal in London 2021. It was amazing to watch some of the sports celebrities reacting to their own win, like Usain Bolt with his "just another day" comment. Another example is when cyclists became famous in the UK through the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The foundation raised millions of dollars for cancer research, and raised countless pounds for Lance Armstrong's medical needs. This made for an amazing story, especially in light of his own diagnosis of cancer, but also for how he inspired so many people.
Britain's love affair with sports isn't just limited to the big game, however. Gymnastics has enjoyed massive growth over recent years as Britain became known as a'soft sport'. As well as using gymnastic equipment, gymnasts often perform routines using their strong willpower and bodies to push themselves beyond their comfort level. This shows the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and getting into shape, even if it's not for a sport's sake.
Other sports have, of course, developed in response to Britain's need for more physical activity, and its recognition of a healthy lifestyle. Cricket, for instance, started out as a sport for commoners, but it moved towards becoming a participant's sport when it began hosting international games. Football, which is probably the most popular sport in the UK, has moved from being a primarily a defensive and forward-thinking game to one that involves attacking and disrupting ball carriers from the back. Even tennis, which is traditionally thought of as a male preserve, began as a form of competitive physical activity and changed into a spectator sport for many. Many other sports have moved on from being predominantly male activities, but sport has always been popular among the sexes.
Sport can help us break down barriers, such as gender and social divisions. By making fun of other athletes, especially those deemed weaker than ourselves, sport can push buttons that would otherwise be pushed by more traditional methods. Sport can inject enthusiasm into routine activities, as it often makes them more appealing than simply working out in the gym. Sport can encourage us to get away from our homes and take part in the physical exertion that helps keep us healthy and strong.

The best song about all 50 states
Photo: Northfoto/Shutterstock
When people from outside the US visit our country, they're always surprised at how vast it is. And how each state is really like its own little country. Or in the case of California or Texas, a pretty big country. If you're embarking on a cross-country road trip, having the exact right song to play when you cross the state line is an essential part of the experience. The songs about each of our 50 states and the cities in them are as different as the states themselves, often capturing the character of the place in a brief three-and-a-half minutes. So for your Spotifying and road-tripping pleasure, here are the best songs written about all 50 states.
Sweet Home, Alabama
Wonder how many Crimson Tide fans, while completely losing their minds as the opening guitar riff of this song blares over the loudspeaker at Bryant-Denny Stadium on gameday, could tell you that the band who sang it is actually from Florida? Over/under six.
North to Alaska
Johnny Horton
There is nearly one song called "Alaska" for every Alaska resident, but this classic still tops them all. Johnny Horton's timeless marching song about the brutal cold, grittiness, and loneliness that marked the Alaska Gold Rush was his biggest hit, though he never lived to see it hit #1 after dying in a car crash shortly after its release.
Though Public Enemy's "By the Time I Get to Arizona" is certainly a more biting, famous protest of the state, it's pretty anti-Arizona. Locals would probably rather you look to what's widely considered to be the best Eagles song. Winslow, Arizona, gets the only state shoutout, but the whole vibe of the song — chilling out and driving down flat roads — is a pretty great encapsulation of the southwestern way of life.
Mary, Queen of Arkansas
Fun fact: This was actually one of Bruce Springsteen's audition songs when he played for CBS records in 1972. Springsteen went on to Rock and Roll superstardom and Mary went on to be the female protagonist in about a dozen other of his songs.

California Love
Tough competition here as the word "California" appears in roughly 77 percent of every song ever written, but this rap classic featuring Dr. Dre has a video that looks like Death Row Records does Burning Man and will get anyone with even a minimal tie to California to crank their stereo any time it comes on.
You don't see an entire bar of dudes in flannel spontaneously singing along with String Cheese Incident, do you? No, no you do not. Those Coors Light guys knew what the heck they were doing.
I Live in Connecticut
Upon further examination of tax records, exactly zero members of Aerosmith live or have ever lived in Connecticut, which may explain why this song is only 57 seconds long and has no words — though it has a pretty badass guitar riff.
"Delaware" is perhaps the pinnacle work of the state/pun music genre, with such timeless lyrics as "What did Delaware, boys? She wore a brand New Jersey!" Or revealing that Missi was, in fact, sipping a "Minne sota." Or that "Ore gone" to pay his Texas. Ok, this song is basically about every state, but only one gets to lay claim to the title.
Seminole Wind
For some reason, many a Florida State University student and alum seem to think this song is some alternate fight song for their football team, when it is in fact about the dredging and imminent destruction of the Everglades. Probably because they went to Florida State.

We'll give Johnny and the Devil and their respective fiddles their due, but this song was Ray Charles, and though you can never really be sure whether he's singing about a state or a lost love, the true beauty of the song is that it doesn't matter.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Up until Hawaii icon Iz did a cover of Over the Rainbow, this song was firmly associated with Kansas and the Wizard of Oz. However, this moving, extremely popular rendition of the song on the ukulele is now the most iconic song of Hawaii. And the beautiful state does seem to be exactly what Dorothy was pining for, even if she didn't know it.
Private Idaho
"Private Idaho" is as much about Idaho as it is about patios and swimming pools (drug addiction… it's about drug addiction), but you cannot argue with the sheer mid-century, surreal, stoic brilliance of this video, which is both disturbing and strangely upbeat.
Photo: The Blues Brothers
Sweet Home, Chicago
It's ok Kanye, we'll letchya finish, but this song, originally by blues man Robert Johnson, is the greatest song about anything in the state of Illinois ever.
Though he never actually calls out Indiana as the home of his small town, he also never really specifies where the Tastee-Freez is or what street the little pink houses are on. It's like the Springfield of classic rock lyrics, but we'll just assume everything is somewhere near Bloomington.
The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines
Who knew the best song ever about getting lucky at a slot machine would be about Iowa?
It's not up to us to decipher whether the Kansas City with all the crazy little women was in Missouri or Kansas. For today's purposes, let's assume it was on the west side of the state line and move on to states with simpler state line delineations.
Elvis Presley/Patsy Cline
We can't help but think this song about staring up at the moon and wishing for it to shine over a long-lost lover was somehow the inspiration for the tear-jerking "Somewhere out There" in An American Tail.
Johnny B. Goode
There's no shortage of songs paying homage to New Orleans, but telling the story of a borderline illiterate who could play the hell out of a guitar and rose to fame and fortune is about as Louisiana as a song gets without mentioning alligators.
Going to Maine
You ever notice people in Maine either seem like they've lived there for 500 years or they're getting away from something? This song about a cheating couple planning to run away explains one of those.
Good Morning, Baltimore
You will never in your life hear anyone as excited about waking up in Baltimore as Tracy Turnblad, even Joe Flacco after he somehow convinced the Ravens he was worth $120 million.

Shipping Up to Boston
The song doesn't really talk as much about Beantown as it does about losing one's leg. But we dare you to spend a night out in Boston without hearing it at least six times.
Detroit Rock City
No rock song has turned into a civic anthem stronger than "Detroit Rock City." And though we didn't really need KISS to let us know we gotta lose our minds there, put this song out around a bunch of Detroiters and you'll see how literally they take it.
The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota
Though it's not a straight parody in the style of "Like a Surgeon" and "I'm Fat," this nearly seven-minute folksy ballad sends up the likes of Harry Chapin and Gordon Lightfoot, replacing songs about lost fathers and shipwrecks with one about a family road trip to a bizarre roadside attraction.
Rock fans often forget "When the Levee Breaks" is actually a cover of an old blues song by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie — two names that clearly do not originate from Mississippi. They probably also forget that the song is about a devastating Mississippi flood in the 1920s.
Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith
Wonder if Vladimir Tarasenko knows the team he plays for is named after a Bessie Smith song. Or who Bessie Smith is.
Only a guy who named one of his kids Dweasel would write a song about moving to Montana to raise a crop of dental floss. And maybe Weird Al.

If you've ever written Gaga off as an auto-tuned pop star, take a listen to one of her first forays into country-inspired music to hear the full range of her vocal power. Though not much past her belting "Nebraska" over and over relates to the state, it's far more comforting for a road trip than Springsteen's spree-killer ballad.
Before movie-quoting hacks started ending every conversation about Sin City with "Vegas, baby, Vegas," there was this song — the anthem of 1970s Las Vegas in the mob-and-leisure suit era, when the bright light city set even Elvis's soul on fire.
Those who haven't been to the Northeast probably don't know much about New Hampshire beyond the cabin where they stuck Walter White. But now you can add the fact that BB King turns New Hampshire Boys on. Thanks, Sonic Youth.
There might not be a better opening line to any Springsteen song than, "Blew up a chicken man in Philly last night," and though this isn't the most flattering musical portrayal of the Garden State, it does capture the desperation and violence of the mob-run AC of yesteryear — and it's sung by Springsteen, so everyone from Jersey loves it no matter what.
Driving through New Mexico is the most underratedly awful road-trip experience in America. It's a state where you can go from clear skies to torrential downpour to high-desert snowstorm in a matter of miles. The Man in Black encounters all of that in this song, which like so many of his tracks clearly comes from real-life experience.

Theme from New York, New York
There are lots of songs about NYC, but it's pretty much impossible to find one better than the theme song from Martin Scorsese's 1977 film "New York, New York." And you'll hear it everywhere, from inside pizza shops to Central Park to Times Square on New Year's Eve when the ball drops.
Raise Up
It's not gonna be a popular pick, but does James Taylor give you a rush of North Carolina pride-driven adrenaline every time the chorus comes on? Probably not. I'm not even from North Carolina and I get pumped up hearing this song. Let the debate rage.
Since Wiz Khalifa still has yet to come out with a "Black and Yellow"-like anthem for his home state, the duty has fallen to Texan Lyle Lovett, who begins this song by explaining, "The boys in North Dakota, they drink whiskey for their fun." As if there was any other reason.
Escape from Ohio
A song bagging on Ohio by a group from Michigan has to be taken with a requisite grain of salt, but no other song asks such important question as, "What's so great about a Buckeye?" and "Why does every city start with C?" Electric Six may hate Ohio, a lot, but even people from Ohio can take a joke and laugh at this song, which harangues the state for giving us John Boehner.
If you're a coastal person who sometimes wonders about the mindset of the deep-red plains states, look no further than this 1960s Merle Haggard jam. The song might be over 50 years old, but the longing for a place where they don't smoke marijuana or take LSD — and still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse — hasn't gone much of anywhere since.
Although this is technically a Loretta Lynn song, the duet with Jack White has a hard-driving, stripped-down guitar underlay that makes it sound more like a White Stripes song with Loretta Lynn doing vocals. Either way, we're into it.

Streets of Philadelphia
Bruce Springsteen, still with more Oscars than Johnny Depp.
Road to Rhode Island
The smallest state in the country might also have the fewest songs about it, and nearly all of them come from a Family Guy episode. Though it's not quite as funny as the "You've Got AIDS" barber shop quartet number, it's also a little more relevant to Rhode Island.
James P Johnson
This song from the 1920s musical Runnin' Wild that spawned the hottest dance craze of the 1920s has, thankfully, held up a little better than the Soulja Boy.
Johnny Cash's sad, melodic drawl is almost the perfect instrument to tell the Sioux Indians' side of the battle of Wounded Knee. It's only a couple of minutes long but a better history lesson than you'll get in most textbooks.
Hard out Here for a Pimp
Three Six Mafia
There might be more country songs about Tennessee than there are about trucks and breakups, but did any of them win an Oscar? No, they did not. And can you really ever hear this song without picturing the sweltering, sweaty scenes of Hustle and Flow?
Deep in the Heart of Texas
Gene Autry
Texans will happily tell you they have the most, oldest, longest, biggest, and greatest of pretty much anything, though there are surprisingly few great modern-era songs about the Lone Star State. Probably why this Gene Autry classic holds up.
Photo: Randy Miramontez/Shutterstock
This song sounds like a radio promo the Beach Boys recorded for a concert in Salt Lake City, which with a few small lyrical tweaks has also been recorded as "Ok-la-homa!" and "South Da-Kota!" And it's still the best song ever about Utah.
John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf
This song was written in the '40s by and first introduced by songstress Margaret Whiting. But since then, it's been covered by Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Sarah Vaughan, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Tommy Dorsey, and Billie Holiday. How cool would it have been if they could have done a We Are The World thing in the '40s and gotten all these people on one track? Except for Willie Nelson; he'd have been ten.
Carry me Back to Ol' Virginia
Virginia's another state that people seem to like to sing about "going back" to. Which begs the question, Jerry Lee, if this place is so great, why'd you ever leave?
Posse on Broadway
Sir Mix-a-Lot
Don't you dare call Mix-a-Lot a one hit wonder. Sure, maybe outside Seattle people only remember him as the guy who had giant rubber butts on his turntable, but this song is so big in Seattle that the Seattle Symphony actually performed a version of it with him.
Photo: Steve Broer/Shutterstock
Some people get tears in their eyes every time this song comes on. And some WVU alums instinctively try to burn a couch.
My Cousin in Milwaukee
The rhyming in this song is worthy of the Chainsmokers, but with Ella Fitzgerald's satin voice rhyming "Milwaukee" with "gawky" doesn't seem so bad. Also, Ella's affinity for her nightclub-singing cousin, who had boyfriends by the dozen, is also admirable.
Paint Me Back Home in Wyoming
This song from the most renowned country singer to come out of Wyoming sounds almost biographical, a spoken-word story-song about a cowboy who sees a young woman painting in New York City and asks her to paint a picture of him back in the place he loves.

Home Food and drink Best coffee in Australia?
Think you know your coffee? Tell us where to find the best coffee in Australia for your chance to win a copy of new book Coffee Trails by Toby Smith. Not only does this java master sport our favourite name, his cool cafés in Sydney and hip espresso bars in Melbourne make our mornings much more bearable. Take a peek at Toby's caffeine-fuelled travels, from the hills of India to Jamaica's jewel-bright ranges.
1 What kick-started your love affair with coffee? I was first inspired by the taste of an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, more than 20 years ago. It was quite startling. Once I tasted Yirgacheffe, everything I thought I'd known about coffee was turned on its head. It wasn't the bitter, slightly nutty, chocolately flavour I'd been used to from my regular flat whites. It was so different: floral, fruity, citrussy. I'd never known coffee could taste like that.
2 Which country is your favourite coffee destination? The last place I visited while researching Coffee Trails was Panama. Every country has its jewels – you just have to find them. In the past, Panama was known for mass production, but these days there's a demand for high-altitude coffee, sustainably produced, which has led to a varietal awakening.
3 Your book covers the world's great coffee-growing regions, including Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Brazil and Jamaica. Tell us about unique coffee fixes in these places… In India, make for the Baba Budan hills in Karnataka [Smith tips SwaSwara boutique hotel] and then seek out the coffee 'monsooning' (harvested beans are left out in the monsoon winds for a few months, reducing acidity and enhancing sweetness). In Jamaica, head up the hills to Clydesdale Estate for their great coffee (and rum). In Brazil (pictured below left), drink lots of cafezinho (an intense, sweet shot of coffee) and visit Museu do Café in Santos (95 rua XV de Novembro, Santos, São Paulo). If you're travelling to Indonesia, check out the cool Bandung region of West Java, two hours south of Jakarta. Swing by Morning Glory café in the Setra Sari Mall and ask them to take you on a tour of the coffee hills nearby.
4 How have locals reacted to your new cafés and roasters in Singapore and New York? We now have a Singapore branch on Rodyk Street in Orchard, and a Brooklyn outpost in Williamsburg – in both cities, expats have been pleased to see us, and locals are curious and keen to try us out.
5 What do you always take with you on your travels? Lots of coffee, my coffee-brewing travel kit and not too many clothes.
Searching for superior coffee? Dip into our musings on Melbourne's best cafés and the best coffee in London.
Australian caffeine fiends, fancy winning a copy of Toby's book? In the Comments section below, tell us in 25 words or fewer what is your favourite café and why. The competition closes 24 February 2012 and entries will be judged on creativity.
