Q: Java program takes input twice So below is my code. I'm trying to use the Scanner class to read an input from the console, and then print out each token on a separate line. But there's a small problem where the user has to input twice. An example of what happens is given below the code
import java.util.Scanner;

public class StringSort {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter a string: ");

        String str = scanner.nextLine();

        int i = 0;
        while (i< str.length()) {
            i++;
            System.out.println("" + scanner.next());
        }
        scanner.close();
    }
}

Example:
Enter a string:
what is love
what is love
what
is
love

A: To do what you want use the Scanner class to read an input from the console, and then print out each token on a separate line you can use the String::split method
String str = scanner.nextLine();
String [] arr = str.split (" ");
for (String x : arr) {
    System.out.println (x);
}

A: A more efficient implementation of the above code would be as follows:
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

    while (sc.hasNext()) {
        System.out.println(sc.next());
    }

This would avoid use of extra space as done by @ScaryWombat

A: Scanner should be propertly closed:
try (Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in)) {
    while (sc.hasNext()) {
        System.out.println(sc.next());
    }
}

While Southern Baptist churches regularly commission mission teams and ministers, a Georgia church may soon take the less typical step of commissioning a U.S. secretary of agriculture.
Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue addressed U.S. Department of Agriculture employees April 25.
Sonny Perdue, who was sworn in as secretary of agriculture April 25, is a member of Second Baptist Church in Warner Robins, Ga. The pastor, his son Jim Perdue, told Baptist Press (BP) the congregation plans to hold a worship service commissioning the former Georgia governor and his wife Mary to their new field of service.
A date for the commissioning service has yet to be determined.
Sonny Perdue's "faith in the Lord guides his decisions about where to go and what to do," Jim Perdue said. "When people ask him, 'How can we pray for you?' one of his first responses is, 'Pray for my obedience.' He wants to be obedient, and I believe that was part of" his decision to accept President Trump's nomination.
Since Trump announced his intention to nominate Perdue as secretary of agriculture Jan. 18, Second Baptist members have had numerous occasions to pray for him. Shortly following the announcement, Jim Perdue called his parents to come forward at the end of a worship service, and pastors, deacons and members of the Sunday School class the Perdues teach gathered around them for prayer.
Over the next three months, Sonny and Mary Perdue "have had phone calls and cards and an abundance of people reaching out to them and just letting them know that 'we're praying for you; we're here for you,'" Jim Perdue said.
Then-Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue shared his testimony at a 2004 North American Mission Board conference.
Sonny and Mary Perdue have been members of Second Baptist since the late 1980s, said Jim Perdue, who became the church's pastor in 2012. When Perdue served as governor from 2003-11, he and Mary transferred their membership to Atlanta-area First Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ga, which was nearer to the state capitol. After he left office, they returned to Warner Robins, some 100 miles south of Atlanta.
At Second Baptist, Sonny Perdue has served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher.
His faith garnered national headlines in 2007, when he held a lunch-hour prayer meeting on the state capitol steps to ask God for rain in the midst of a historic drought. Then-Gov. Perdue prayed at the gathering, "God, we need you. We need rain," according to The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The month following the prayer gathering was "wetter than normal," the AJC reported, and most lakes and rivers had returned to normal levels two years later.
Perdue is at least the third member of Trump's cabinet with Southern Baptist ties. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Scott Pruitt is a member of First Baptist Church in Broken Arrow, Okla., and Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price is a regular attendee at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga.

The E36 touring won't be coming, the E46 touring may be coming.
> We are interested in having the capacity to seat more than 5 passengers.
> Volvo V70 currently sold in the USA offer that option.
The E34 did not have a 3rd seat, and I expect the E39 will not have a 3rd seat. The reason is simple, in all BMWs, and in all the manufacturers cars you mentioned, the area behind the rear axle is the crumple zone. If you get rear ended by a truck, that area is going to fold up like an accordian to absorb some of the energy of the crash. Do you really want passengers sitting there when this happens?
The two other car companies you mentioned know this, but choose to sell the 3rd seat anyway due to marketing pressure. Do you want to buy a car built to a marketer's spec? I don't. I want a car built to an engineer's spec.
> any information about this ?
Yes, buy the E39 because it's a better car. When you need to haul more then 5 people, take two cars, or buy a Suburban.


Meet five fundraising professionals who have united under the same banner to embolden and energize their colleagues to make positive changes in their communities.
Nonprofit work is hard work, particularly when tasked with juggling campaigns, gifts, volunteers and coming up with creative ways to get people to open their pocketbooks for the good of the mission.
Cue the Arkansas Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). With monthly meetings, volunteer opportunities and furthering eduation, AFP helps train individuals representing everything from hospitals to universities to museums and beyond.
"When we raise the caliber of the professionals who are raising funds for our state's nonprofit organizations, we improve the quality of those organizations, and in turn the state as a whole," says Matthew Cleveland, AFP member and chief development officer for Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches.
Here, meet five fundraising professionals who have united under the same banner to embolden and energize their colleagues to make positive changes in their communities.
Like many fundraising professionals, Matthew Cleveland's resume includes a laundry list of nonprofits: Youth Home, the Arkansas Arts Center, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and his current post at the Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches, a group foster care program that aims to build self-confidence and responsibility in a trusting and supportive environment.
And like many fundraising professionals, when Cleveland began his first fundraising job 14 years ago, his director encouraged him to check out AFP's monthly educational meetings to brush up on best practices and develop his strengths.
But unlike many, Cleveland jumped in head-first, joining a committee his first day, which lead to multiple positions on the AFP board, including president, vice president of promotions, member communications chair and four years as publicity chair for AFP Arkansas' National Philanthropy Day.
Cleveland's involvement with AFP has fostered much personal and professional growth over the years, specifically the improvement of two of his passions: connecting people and writing.
"I believe that language and our stories have the power to transform lives, so I do my best to fold this into every job I take on," he says. "When I tell a story about how AFP has helped me become a better fundraiser or share stories about the thousands of children who have been raised at the Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches, that is what is going to make a difference and connect them to our mission."
Multiple years, projects and committees later, Cleveland still swears by the regular meetings as a major source of motivation and backbone to the team.
"Every time I go to a monthly education meeting, I hear from experts in our field or other practitioners who are working to improve their organizations and their communities by raising funds to support their missions," Cleveland says. "These are some of the best people you will ever know, and getting to serve alongside them to try to make our world a healthier, more just, better-educated and more beautiful place to live is very rewarding."
"My first meeting at AFP will stick with me forever."
Caroline Robbins was new to the nonprofit world. She had just joined the team at Our House and had a load of questions about how best to further the organization's mission of empowering homeless and near-homeless families and individuals in the community. At the end of the meeting, after hearing round table discussions about successful techniques and nonprofit pitfalls, Robbins was hooked.
"I left that session feeling energized with new ideas, confident with the relationships that I had formed with fellow fundraisers and equipped with new tools in my toolkit to use with my own organization."
Robbins is a people person who thrives on collaboration, a characteristic that has served her well both in AFP and in the community of Our House supporters, providing motivation and helping her build confidence in her abilities to assist her nonprofit and, by extension, the city.
"I take a lot of pride in my state and how much our residents care about making it a better place to live and work," Robbins says. "AFP works to do exactly that: It makes our community better by uplifting professional fundraisers to better serve the organizations they are working to support."
As the current hospitality chair on AFP Arkansas' board, Robbins' goal is to make sure monthly sessions are inviting to everyone who attends. It's here that she has a chance to offer that same energy and encouragement she received at her first meeting, knowing those reactions often reach far beyond the walls of the meeting room.
"AFP is an organization that works to help our community by recognizing that, as fundraisers, we are all working for a goal that is bigger than all of us."
Debbie Grooms Director of Development, Arkansas Enterprises for the Developmentally Disabled Inc.
Having recently reached the 10-year membership mark in June and now armed with a decade of AFP experience, Debbie Grooms holds the title of AFP Arkansas Chapter President, a role she'll serve through the end of 2019.
When she first joined AFP, however, Grooms never envisioned herself leading a development department for a large nonprofit like Arkansas Enterprises for the Developmentally Disabled Inc. (AEDD), an organization that provides training, work opportunities and recreational programs for individuals with disabilities in the Little Rock area. But after hearing about AFP from a professor and, as fate would have it, finding an AFP binder in her new desk at AEDD, she knew she had found a source of mentorship and growth.
Now, after 120 monthly meetings and countless volunteer sessions, Grooms says she's never walked away from an AFP gathering without learning something new. One experience that particularly stuck with her was her first AFP International Convention in 2009.
"What amazed me was that we all had the same goals in mind with different ideas of how to accomplish our missions, effectively raise money, manage volunteers and boards and attract and retain donors," Grooms says. "Professionals in development and fundraising are passionate about the nonprofits for which they work and are always searching for knowledge and ideas to implement at their own organizations no matter where they live in the world."
And not only is Grooms passionate about furthering the AEDD mission, but her leadership through AFP also helps strengthen nonprofits throughout the region as well. She recently returned to the international convention, where her chapter was awarded the Ten Star Gold accreditation and Friends of Diversity Designation for goals met in 2017.
In 2018 and beyond, her sights are skyward with this year's AFP board motto, "SOAR" — simplify, organize, accountability, respect — with the aim of promoting a climate of teamwork and cooperation for nonprofits the state over.
As a rookie fundraiser for the University of Arkansas-Monticello, Shannon Fleming first came to AFP in 1988 when it was still known as the National Society of Fundraising Executives. Since then, roles at UCA, Philander Smith College, the University of Southern Mississippi and finally at UAMS have solidified Fleming's place in the development world and as the current chair of the National Philanthropy Day Selection Committee for AFP.
"With more than 32 years in higher education administration and fundraising, I have learned to observe, listen and participate," Fleming says. "This is especially important when a group of Type A fundraisers work together on the AFP board of directors. The AFP chapter is only as strong as its leadership, and we are all committed to serving at maximum capacity. I intentionally try to learn about the strengths and weakness of my fellow board members and help find ways for everyone play to their strengths."
With previous stints as vice president for leadership and vice president of education, Fleming has put a lot into the organization that helped him become a more effective fundraiser, but has gained more than he ever expected 30 years ago.
"I had the opportunity to develop the first ever mentoring program at AFP Arkansas in 2016. The program matches new professionals with more seasoned members for professional development," he says. "Ironically, that's exactly what I was searching for way back in 1988. I simply formalized the process."
Fleming now has years worth of monthly confirmations — evidence of the importance of lifelong learning, evidence of the unique camaraderie of those committed to supporting nonprofits that provide valuable services to Arkansans — and he doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
"Invest in yourself so that you can do more."
That's the mindset of Ganelle Holman, immediate past president of the AFP Arkansas board of directors and fundraiser for Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, a nonprofit that goes to bat for the protection, health and welfare of kids across the state.
When one of her mentors suggested she join AFP as a way to expand upon her fundamental fundraising knowledge, it was a no-brainer for Holman.
"All public service needs fundraising at the global, national, state and local level, no matter the mission," she says. "Associations like AFP function in our democracy to coordinate people with a professed common goal so that they can organize for maximum impact. Fundraisers need training in the beginning of their career and continued learning opportunities, like any other profession."
For Holman, that training lead to various nonprofit jobs, her previous role as chapter president and a spot on the national AFP Committee on Directorship, but more importantly, it lead to personal and professional evaluation.
"My talents have certainly helped me in my work with AFP, but I think it's more true to say AFP has helped to hone my talents," Holman says. "By volunteering with AFP rather than participating only as a member, I've learned to focus on outcomes with people who run the gamut of perspectives, contexts and methodologies. I may have come to AFP with passion and outspokenness, but due in large part to my experience on the board, those gifts now look more like authenticity and candor."
And part of that progress is a better grasp on the importance of joint effort, not just at AACF, but throughout the nonprofit sector.
"We serve better when we have a common goal and collaborate with each other. My hope is that AFP is making collaboration a more universal concept in Little Rock, in Arkansas and across the globe."


To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to each recommendation in the report by Parkinson's UK, People. Parkinson's. Scotland. What do we know about services and support for people with Parkinson's in Scotland?.
We welcome this report from Parkinson's UK and will consider it closely as we continue to work with the neurological community to develop Scotland's first National Action Plan on Neurological Conditions. The public consultation on our draft plan closed on 8 February 2019. We will carefully consider all feedback received and publish our final plan later this year. We work closely with Parkinson's UK who keep us updated about services and support for people with Parkinson's in Scotland.


What if you gave your students an assignment to correct the Wikipedia articles using this post as a starting point?
Wikipedia is huge and complex. The solution to incomplete or inaccurate information on Wikipedia is not to shun it as you advocate here, Dan, but rather work (and/or have your students work) to improve it. We have a shared global information commons now. Our collective ability to access it is accompanied by a collective responsibility to make it better. Don't cast stones. Instead, use them to build better foundations that benefit all of us.
@Turadg, @Scott. . .well, I don't doubt that doing the research necessary to try to improve an article would be beneficial to the student. . .it would be a particular type of learning, though, and that may or may not square with the instructor's goals for a course. I would add that for many topics in education, it wouldn't be easy, in my opinion.
@scott. . .also, I think I have an obligation to my students (most of whom think of Wikipedia as very reliable) that they ought not to rely on it for education topics. so I don't think of it as throwing stones, but posting a warning sign.
Wikipedia is what it is. If you want to tell your students about another source, great, go for it.
This post, Dan, would have been improved by offering alternative approaches to finding information and an explaination why the alternative approaches are better. Without doing so, your students are left hanging.
@Dan McGuire: wow! the obvious alternative to Wikipedia (which, like many, I use extensively once I've figured out the level of accuracy I can expect from the topic) is edited works on the same subject. Before Wikipedia, teachers did the same thing as Dan has done here: voiced a warning about specific often-used information sources that have clear shortcomings.
Did you revise the entries?
Funny thing: when I was researching these topics (while dealing with fuzzy math issues at my district), I thought to look these things up on Wikipedia to see what an average person would think when they looked up these terms. I was not impressed. In fact, I was a bit alarmed because some of these things, as Dan pointed out, have been proven to be false. Yet our school districts and the Educrats keep regurgitaing the same ineffective clap-trap. At first, I thought it was because they just didn't know any better, but that wasn't the case. They can look at the studies, the brilliant writings (such as found on Dan's website and American Educator) and STILL not believe it. Case in point: the NCTM and their weak, controversial standards and their dogmatic resistance to explicit learning.
I have concluded that some people make decisions by how they feel and others by looking at data. The Feelers won't look at real research and decide something, or if they do, they will check out something like Wikipedia and say, "See, there's a controversy!" and then go about doing what they want or will find the data that fits with what they want to do. The Data People will actually look at all the research and make decisions based on those facts.
A central problem is that the use of evidence is hardly taught in schools - so almost no adults have developed the mindset.
As I science teacher I know we mostly taught the 'facts', not the method.
When teaching Critical Thinking at A-level I realised that there is a view of evidence shared between scientists, historians, criminologists and critical-thinkers. If the habit of looking at a range of views and evidence and coming to a 'balanced judgement' were to be taught explicitly to all students, the adult population would gradually become able to make sensible choices.
I teaches maths to A-level students and found that teaching maths is an amazing and sound interesting thing than that of other subjects.
Thanks for nice article, like to read more from you.


My most anticipated release in a LONG time is out today !!!!!!!!!
It's June 3, 2014 and todays marks an event that most people thought would never happen. A brand new release by Dave & Phil Alvin, both better known for their history in the band The Blasters. If you've read anything I've ever written, my bias towards the brothers Alvin is well-known. These cats are the real deal!
2 years ago, we almost lost Phil. On tour in Spain, he started having trouble breathing after a Blasters show in Valencia, and was taken to hospital and flatlined. Twice. He was miraculously brought back... and this is where the story begins.
The Alvins, like most siblings, have had their share of rivalry. In a band situation, especially a band like The Blasters, these feelings will intensify. David wrote the songs. Phil sang them. After a number of years of touring, recording, and just constantly being in each other's hair, David left the band for a solo career. Phil kept the band going, using different guitarists such as Billy Zoom, Hollywood Fats, James Intveld, and Keith Wyatt. Phil also finished his post graduate studies in mathematics. But, the old troubles were always there.
A dozen or so years back, the original Blasters lineup reunited for a tour, live CD and DVD. The tension between the brothers was still clearly visible for all to see. Since then, the brothers have put forth an effort to heal their emotional wounds. Before his health problems in Spain, Phil suffered a knee infection that sidelined him from some tour dates. David filled in for his brother. The brothers would occasionally guest at each other's shows. Things appeared to be on the mend. Dave wrote a well-received song called "What's Up With Your Brother?", which he recorded as a duet with his big brother Phil.
The harsh realization of mortality often brings families together. The brothers worked together, again, on the John Mellencamp/Stephen King musical "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County". This led to the recording of "Common Ground".
Why a tribute record to Big Bill Broonzy? Firstly, why not? Broonzy was one of the blues greats whose history should be not only remembered but celebrated. As both brothers have been life-long fans, and have both been heavily influenced by Broonzy, it also negated the probability of in-studio arguments.
As usual, Dave is playing guitar. Phil is also playing guitar, as well as harmonica. Both brothers sing on this record. Rounded out by former Blasters/Canned Heat/Fabulous Thunderbirds pianist Gene Taylor, Bob Glaub and Brad Fordham on bass, and Don Heffington and legendary rockabilly drummer Lisa Pankratz, the boys have laid down one of the most authentic blues records I've heard in a LONG time! The musicianship is beyond question. The production is spot on. The choice of songs is well thought out, covering all aspects of Broonzy's long and storied career, and performed with love, respect, and originality.
Long story short - there's no sound quite like that of siblings making music together. It adds a special quality. If you're a fan of the blues, The Blasters, either of the Alvin brothers, Big Bill Broonzy, or just in the mood for a good rockin' set of tunes, this disc is for you!
I could go into great detail about each of the 12 songs... but to what point? They're all Broonzy classics. I can't add anything about the songs that hasn't already been said. I remember playing "Key To The Highway" in a blues band when I was 19. I can guarantee you, our version, while hot, didn't touch this version! I could sit here and attempt some critique on the playing or singing, but as I stated, its excellent, top shelf quality... this is the band you wish you could go and hear every weekend. No, the best I can provide you are mere details and the strong suggestion that you get yourself a copy. Yep Rock has even issued a limited edition 12" vinyl pressing, complete with a different cover that has the look of a classic record that has spent decades in your collection. Regardless of the format, this release will not only spend decades in your collection, it will, most likely, spend ample time being listened to and enjoyed by millions.
If all of this isn't enough, the Alvin boys have been performing together again, and are embarking on a tour to promote this disc. I hope they make it here to my town! If you run into the boys on the road, tell them I said 'Howdy!' and find them some Polish food. They'll thank you for it!
What are waiting for? Go get yourself a copy!
Available through Amazon, iTunes, and Yep Rock Records. For the stylish dresser out there, there's also a commemorative pewter belt buckle!

Florida is the most dangerous state to ride a bike, says report
Posted By Scott Harrell on Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 3:07 PM

According the Wall Street Journal, new data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finds that the Tampa Bay metro area is the most dangerous for bicyclists in the nation — and that within that region, Pinellas County is the deadliest.
The NHTSA stats show that the number of cyclists killed on the road by motor vehicles rose 34 percent from 2010 to 2016; from 2007-2016, the fatality rate for cyclists in Florida was 56 percent higher than the next-highest state in the U.S. Florida, California and Texas account or approximately 40 percent of cyclist fatalities nationwide.
While Florida's per capita death rate was 6.2 fatalities per 100,000 residents, the Tampa Bay region's rate was 7, with Pinellas County being named the most lethal portion of the area.

Florida is the second worst state in the country for pedestrian deaths, says study
By Gunnar Shuler
Specialists attribute the high rate of cyclist deaths in the region to a number of factors, including a densely packed population, a comparatively large number of drivers of advanced age, and the constant influx of tourists unfamiliar with the area and local roads.
Last year, 116 cyclists died in Florida, which is the lowest since 2010.

Diana Vreeland | THOSE LIPS!
While Diana Vreeland was Editor-in-Chief at Vogue, her "People are Talking About" section became the absolute authority on what — and who — was relevant. It was in these pages that she featured the first portrait of Mick Jagger ever published in the U.S.A.
Photographer David Bailey had shot the 19-year-old, then just an aspiring musician with a mop-top, big lips and a bit of a swagger, and offered the image to British Vogue. The magazine rejected it saying, "No, who is this guy? We don't know who he is." Though they were on the charts, The Rolling Stones had not yet made a name for themselves in England, and were even less known in New York.
Over the years the editor and the rock star became friends. Mrs. Vreeland attended Rolling Stones' concerts at Madison Square Garden and enjoyed intimate dinners at her apartment with Mick and Bianca Jagger, and later Mick and Jerry Hall.

Border to Backyard Rally | Honey Stinger
Continental Divide Relay
Border to Backyard Rally
Lets do this.
In 2017 along with sister company Big Agnes, Honey Stinger adopted 75 miles of the Continental Divide Trail near Steamboat Springs as part of our support of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition. As an adopter we agreed to do our part to maintain the designated portion of trail, mark the trail as needed, keep it free of trash, and be good stewards of the trail whenever we find ourselves recreating in it. Which turns out, is quite often. So, we decided to hike the entire Colorado section. Yes, you heard correctly. 740 miles! 146k vertical feet up and down. Topping out at 14k feet on Grey's summit.
After absorbing the commitment to the adoption, the leaders in Honey Stinger and Big Agnes began thinking about how impactful this trail is not only to our community of Steamboat but also statewide, and maybe it's time we help raise some of that awareness. But how could we do that…? Throw a party, make a t-shirt? Or we could hike the entire Colorado section! What an adventure, team building experience, and way to raise awareness of this unique, iconic, and rugged trail we are so lucky to have running through our state and backyard. With guidance from staff member Kathleen Lynch (Big Agnes Product Development team) who has completed the entire CDT and a group of volunteers from both brands, the Border to Backyard Rally was born.
Trail buddies.
Traveling by foot, bike, and horsepack with our employees from our sister company Big Agnes, we'll cover all 740 miles in a thru-hike style relay with a baton hand-off at each of the 24 sections. We'll have the opportunity to hike through parts of the state we otherwise have never seen, test our products while we push our bodies through some unforgiving conditions, and really get to know faces within our own company that we may have only had water-cooler chats with before.

Government will propose banning flavors used in e-cigarettes

On Friday, Aug. 30, 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they are investigating more cases of a breathing illness associated with vaping.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday his administration will propose banning thousands of flavors used in e-cigarettes to combat a recent surge in underage vaping .
The Food and Drug Administration will develop guidelines to remove from the market all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told reporters during an Oval Office appearance with the president, first lady Melania Trump and the acting FDA commissioner, Ned Sharpless.
Trump said vaping has become such a problem that he wants parents to be aware of what's happening. "People are going to watch what we're saying and parents are going to be a lot tougher with respect to their children," he said.
WATCH: Public Health Officials hold a Vaping Illness and Death investigation Press Conference
Melania Trump recently tweeted her concerns over the combination of children and vaping.
It will take several weeks to develop the proposed flavor restrictions, which will be subject to public input before taking effect.
Trump's first public comments on vaping come as health authorities investigate hundreds of breathing illnessesreported in people who have used e-cigarettes and other vaping devices.
No single device, ingredient or additive has been identified, though many cases involve marijuana vaping devices.
The proposal announced by Trump officials would only apply to nicotine vaping products, which are regulated by the FDA.
The FDA has had the authority to ban vaping flavors since 2016, but has previously resisted calls to take that step. Agency officials instead said they were studying if flavors could help smokers quit traditional cigarettes.
But parents, politicians and health advocates have increasingly called for a crackdown on flavors , arguing that they are overwhelmingly to blame for a recent surge in underage vaping by U.S. teens, particularly with small, discrete devices such as Juul's.
Anti-tobacco groups praised the announcement but said restrictions must be "immediate."
"It has taken far too long to stop Juul and other e-cigarettes companies from targeting our nation's kids with sweet-flavored, nicotine-loaded products," said Matthew Myers, of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, in a statement.
A ban on flavors would be a huge blow to companies such as San Francisco-based Juul, which has grown into a multibillion-dollar business by selling mint, fruit and dessert flavored-nicotine products.
Juul and other manufacturers argue that their products are intended to help adult smokers wean themselves off traditional paper-and-tobacco cigarettes. But there is little evidence that e-cigarettes are effective for helping smokers quit.
Representatives for Juul did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
A 2009 law banned all flavors from traditional cigarettes except menthol. But that law did not apply to e-cigarettes, which were then a tiny segment of the tobacco market.
"We simply have to remove these attractive flavored products from the marketplace until they can secure FDA approval, if they can," Azar said.
Azar said flavored products could apply for FDA permission to reenter the market. But under agency standards, only products that represent a net benefit to the nation's public health can win FDA clearance.
Azar said the administration would allow tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes to remain available as an option for adult smokers. But he said that if children begin using those products, "we will take enforcement action there also."
Significantly, the Trump proposal is expected to bar menthol and mint vaping flavors. FDA officials have previously exempted those products from any sales restrictions because they were thought to be useful to adult smokers. Anti-vaping advocates criticized that decision, pointing to survey data showing roughly half of teens who vape use mint and menthol.
"Finally, the FDA is doing its job," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who has prodded the agency for months to take action on flavors.
Scott Gottlieb, who stepped down as FDA commissioner in April, said in a tweet that Juul bore particular responsibility for forcing the administration's action.
"Unfortunately the entire category of e-cigs was put at risk largely as a result of the youth abuse of mostly one manufacturer's products," Gottlieb said.
Wednesday's announcement came despite months of aggressive lobbying by Juul, which spent $1.9 million in the first half of the year to try and sway the White House, Congress and the FDA.
Several former White House officials, including communications aide Josh Raffel, and Johnny DeStefano, who served as counselor to Trump, have gone on to work for Juul.
Federal law prohibits e-cigarette and all other tobacco sales to those under 18. But last year, 1 in 5 high school students reported vaping in the past month, according to government survey figures. Federal health officials have called the trend an "epidemic," and new statistics due out this fall are expected to show the problem worsening.
More than 80 percent of underage teens who use e-cigarettes say they picked their product because it "comes in flavors that I like," according to government surveys.
A few local governments, including San Francisco, have passed bans on flavored tobacco. And this month Michigan moved to become the first state to ban flavored electronic cigarettes. But other proposed flavor bans have stalled in state legislatures this year.
E-cigarettes have been on the U.S. market for more than a decade. FDA officials have repeatedly delayed enforcing regulations on them, responding to industry complaints that it would wipe out thousands of small vaping companies.
Most experts agree the aerosol from e-cigarettes is less harmful than cigarette smoke since it doesn't contain most of the cancer-causing byproducts of burning tobacco. E-cigarettes generally heat liquid containing nicotine. But there is virtually no research on the long-term effects of vaping.

Why you need a domain name
By Iyekowa Timothy Published October 24, 2019 in Blogging Last updated on
Get to look up for an IP address I think that a waste of time for user, from all publishing platform to a multi-website, search engine, web apps need a domain of their own to establish their own online presence, owing your own domain gives you extra control of your website and content you create and easily give access to user that visits your site. One would say that domain name can serve as a medium for brand control that a smart choice of owing that domain.
And if it may seem to you about the domain issue you ask your self you need a domain name for your site. In this guide, we'll cover all the importance of having a domain name to register a website.what is a domain name and why do you need one to set up a website. It doesn't matter the platform you're going to use for your website you still have to register a domain.
Here is a quick overview of things you will learn in this guide.
What's a domain name
How to lookup an available domain name
Why you should get a domain name
Domain has authority
You owned it
What's a domain name?
This is the way to my house. A domain name is an online address that a user uses to access a website using a web browser. A domain name is a link to an Internet Protocol (IP address), an IP is a unique string of number and character of a particular site, with the use of an IP address you can access websites, but it is hard to remember the correct IP because of all the string and character. So the domain name is a representation of the IP address in other for the user to quickly and easily remembered the name of a particular website like techvocast.com.
When a user types in a domain name into a web browser, the browser uses the IP address it represents to access the site.
All domain name ends with an extension, a unique one which represents a site, .com which is the most useful and most popular of all extension and others follow such as .org, .net,.tech, .store and more each of this extension distinguish a site with the use of the Top Level Domain (TLD), there are also country level domain name such as co.za, co.uk .in .ng .ca and Governments Level Domain governments .gov.
Each of these Top-Level Domain has their respective prices, when you are considering registering a domain it can cost from as low as $5 to $50 depending on the name you're choosing. Most domain names cost more, mostly for the new TLD like .bio .store than the commons once like .com .net.
Why brands are using the new TLDs, brands are making a unique move to offer uniqueness to their businesses, this new extension may be the perfect option for expressing brands in the most vibrant way.
Looking up an available domain name
If you have a unique name in mind, you can register it through an independent domain registrar, like Namecheap, Domain.com, Hostinger, DreamHost or any other company you'll be hosting your site with. If you don't have a website yet or you're planning to you can still claim ownership of that perfect domain name and hold on to it until you are set to set up your website
You can check domain name availability through one of the domain registrars' website and web hosting providers. Because before you buy a domain name you must check if it is available or has been taken by someone else, this is because all domain name is unique and you can't use or owned a name that is already taken. But you can make an offer for an existing domain name from its current owner, or from a marketplace or domain auction site that brokers unwanted or unused names at varying prices.
The reason you should get a domain name
Large and rich, full of opportunities to create an online presence. The internet holds as much information you can think of, from where the resource is free or paid. And you can start creating a platform in no time with a free or paid service, a free service allow the user to claim a space for posting contents, video, and images. This site allows the user to create another website like setting up a portfolio without building a website from scratch.
These sites demonstrate that it's possible to have an online presence without owning your own domain. But if your aim is to be widely visible and build authority for your brand, these platforms and social media sites have considerable drawbacks—problems that can be avoided with the purchase of your very own domain name.
Unique and easy to recall
Each and every website on the web has a domain name, it is unique to the site. Your domain name is your identity on the web when you have a good domain name it will be easy for the user to remember and not some random numbers. That why it is key to pick the right domain name. When registering a domain, stick with simple, straightforward, and creative options that can be remembered by all.
When you host your site on the third-party platform, you might be limited while giving you a subdomain name is your business name, this may seem unprofessional and may limit your business opportunity. Why we need to avoid this can of the situation is using a self-hosted platform and register your own domain name which can gradually gain authority on the web and able to scale your business.
A domain name can let potential customers and clients know that you're a legitimate business with long term plans.
You owned and control your domain
When you registered a domain be for your business you owned and control it without any third parties interference. When you own your own domain name, you can set up your site with any hosting provider you want to. The content you place there remains yours to move from one web hosting provider to another.
Even if you don't have the intention of owning a website now and you can think of a domain name; buying it will reserve the name just for you but as long as you continue renewing the domain fees.
If you want to run a personal blog registering your own name as a domain name might be a good idea to identity.
A domain of your own is a must-have for building confidence in your brand or business, a domain name isn't strictly necessary in order to create a presence on the web, but you should, however, consider owning a domain name; it gives you more control over your online business and the content you post, and how user is able to remember your site name.
