Photo Cutline: British-citizen Carina Buckman lives on Daniel Island with her husband Matt and daughters Caitlyn and Olivia
By Charlie Morrison
Intro: In the last two issues of the Daniel Island News we've run the first two segments of a three-part series in which we've trying to put a local face on a national issue, that of immigration, and to hear from Daniel Islanders who have been through or are going through the process of becoming full-fledged American citizens. We conclude our series this week with the case of British citizen Carina Buckman, who unlike our first two series subjects has yet to go through the immigration process.
Case 3: Carina Buckman
As was the case with both Arienne Araujo and Rikke Fryman, the first two cases in our "Path to Immigration" series, British ex-pat Carina Buckman's journey to Daniel Island was born of reasons both personal and professional. Buckman has, like Fryman and Araujo before her, her own horror stories related to coming in and out of the country but unlike her predecessors in our series, her path to citizenship remains in front of her. Buckman remains a citizen of the U.K. at present, but according to the Daniel Island wife, mom, professional and all-around do-gooder, that fact is likely to change someday soon.
Buckman's story has one other facet to it that is unique to our series: in her case, America very much came to her before she ever came to America. After all, if it were not for the determination of U.S. financial firm Capital One to establish a presence in the U.K., she might never have left home in the first place.
And it was while working for Capital One in the U.K. that Buckman's professional and personal life truly took off. She did well with the company, and the job led to her ultimately meeting the man who would become her husband, American-born Matt Buckman.
The U.S. now a major presence in both her personal life, Buckman took the first of what would become many trips across the Atlantic. And while many vaunts across the Atlantic would (and will) follow, none would be so dramatic as her first trip to America on the visa waiver program.
Buckman utilized the visa waiver program to take an extended vacation here in the U.S. back in 1999. While here, she waited for a position to open up at Capital One her in America, as foreign worker laws prevented her from simply transferring over from the bank's U.K. office. Instead, the position has to be open for a minimum of six months before international candidates could be considered. On top of that, there are a limited number of H-1B work visas, the very visa she would later acquire, available.
"I started up on an H-1B visa," says Buckman in a recent interview with the Daniel Island News. "I was recruited by Capital One as a highly-skilled migrant worker but to do that the job posting has to be open for six months and they have to have not found anyone with the skills required here in the U.S. to fill the position. At that point, they are able to increase the scope of people they're looking at to international people."
Buckman couldn't wait the entire time here in the States, as her visa waiver only allowed her 90 days to visit, and not a day more. But as luck would have it Buckman became ill as her stay was winding down and she overstayed her visa, beginning, for her what would be a series of problems she'd experience beginning with her next trip.
That next trip came not soon after, but this time it was came with considerably more turbulence, even after the flight. During her next trip from the U.K. to the U.S. she was stopped at immigration – the reason, her overstay the previous trip.
"The officer was very professional but gave no indication throughout the interview as to where I stood, which was very unsettling. I focused on telling the truth and holding it together," she remembers. "It's pretty stressful, they're trained not to give anything away with facial expressions. If anything, they're trained to intimidate you. It was pretty intense, constant questions, the same questions mixed up, re-worded."
"Eventually, the guy said 'based on our policy I really should put you back on an airplane back to the U.K. but,' and listen to how cheesy this is, 'but I believe in love and I believe what you're saying so I'm going to let you in,'" laughs Buckman before turning serious once more. "But I had no idea that once you broke a visa waiver agreement you could no longer enter under the program and would need a visa."
Capital One took notice and soon after found a way to assist Buckman in getting an H-1B temporary work visa designed for professionals and companies who want to bring in an international candidate to fill a vacant position with the company here in the U.S.
"I worked for Capital One under an H-1B visa for ages and then I had kids," says Buckman, who after a few years on the H-1B, was finally able to get her green card giving her permanent worker status when she got married. "I said 'ok, I've got to do the green card.' I changed my name to my married name so the green card was in the married name and I got it."
The H-1B visa Buckman acquired through her connection with Capital One provided Buckman the ability to regularly travel for the company to and from the U.K. Eventually though, she left the company and in doing so lost her visa status. She had to do something to preserve her ability to travel, and so it was then Buckman attained her green card which gave her status as a "permanent resident."
And while at that point Buckman felt she was out of the woods, U.S. Immigration soon after fired another curve ball at the British ex-pat when they lost her green card in the mail.
"They couldn't have been less helpful," begins Buckman. "And it's a very unsecure process and when things fall outside the process. From what I could observe, things break down. I had to reapply, pay another $1,000, and do the whole thing all over again. So yeah, I have a green card."
Green card in hand, Buckman hasn't even had to face the question of becoming a U.S. citizen yet. That time will come later this year, when she will have surpassed the minimum three-year time period during which a green card holder must live here in the U.S. before applying for citizenship.
"I was the only one who didn't have the dual-citizenship. I haven't gotten it for a lot of reasons. What if all of a sudden America is in a massive war and I have to leave with my kids?" she continues. "Another thing is that if you're in America but not a U.S. citizen, if he passes away you are stuck with a huge percentage to pay to the state out of whatever estate you have. You lose your house pretty much."
"Now I'm getting a little bit older, I realize I've got nothing to lose by being a dual citizen, so I'm going to go ahead and apply so I can protect myself financially and so I can vote. Eligible for her citizenship test later this year, Buckman has begun studying and hopes to take the pledge later this year.

Coping with divorce infidelity issues in your marriage is hard and you may be too worn out to even attempt at giving your marriage a second shot. However, if you are contemplating divorce, the most important thing to understand is that no one can tell you whether or not it's time to leave your marriage.
So when is it time to consider divorce? Well you maybe asking everyone else around you: family, friends, priests, rabbis, marriage counselor and other people whether or not they think that you should get a divorce. But in the end, none of these people can tell you whether or not it's time to end your marriage no matter how good their intentions.
Since you are the one who has to live with the consequences of your choices, then you're the only person who really knows what you can live with and whether or not what you get out of your marriage is worth the emotional price you pay for it.
Before you decide to end it all, it's a good idea to make one last ditch effort to save your marriage, if at all possible by trying to get your marriage back in shape. What you're attempting to do here is to try and uncover the good in your marriage. So if divorce ends up being the only option, then you'll know what you are leaving behind.
To get your marriage back in shape, you will need to give it your all by being the best spouse that you can be regardless of how your spouse reacts during this critical time. If divorce becomes inevitable because your mate does not want to continue the relationship or the pain of infidelity is too much for you to get past, then you'll know in your heart that you did all you could to save your marriage.
When it comes to divorce infidelity in marriage and whether to end it all or not, only you and your spouse can make that decision. Getting your marriage in the best shape possible will at least give you a basis on which to make that decision.
Divorce infidelity in marriage is never easy to deal with. You need a realistic plan to heal yourself and your marriage if at all possible.

Matrix Insight Essay Contest
Submit your essay on your most transformational insight from Trading Beyond the Matrix for a chance to win a free foundation* workshop or a VTI product (priced at $795 or below), of your choice.
|From Dr. Tharp
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Trading Beyond the Matrix is my favorite, individual book that I've written. Why?
Until 1993, 100% of my business was devoted to the psychology of trading. We had the Peak Performance Course, my private consulting work, and several psychological workshops including Peak 101. In 1993, I presented the first version of a new workshop, How to Develop a Winning Trading System that Fits You. That workshop began our diversification into other products and services beyond the psychology of trading. Then in 1998, my first published book was Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom. That book was never meant to be anything other than a systems book, even though it is often cited as a great psychological book. In fact, I originally wanted to avoid talking about psychology in my published books because I felt it might take away from the Peak Performance Course. My subsequent books — Financial Freedom Through Electronic Day Trading (2001); Safe Strategies for Financial Freedom (2003); and the Definitive Guide to Position Sizing (2008) — all continued on this trend of including, at most, very basic psychology. I didn't emphasize psychology in my books partly because I thought putting "our bread and butter" material into a published book would hurt our overall business.
That all started to change, however, when I finished the book Super Trader in 2009. Super Traderwas a collection of tips, many of which were related to psychology. The book was quite successful and it didn't lessen the interest in our more powerful psychological material, so that experience paved the way for Trading Beyond the Matrix.
I decided to write the ultimate psychological book probably because of a set of experiences and a realization: I had cleared many, many psychological issues myself in the last five years and I really came to understand that our mission was to help people transform their lives. I decided not to hold anything back anything in this book and conceived a framework to explain everything that was really important in order to be a successful trader. Because personal transformations are so critical for successful trading, the book would have a very strong emphasis on this area.
One of my goals with Trading Beyond the Matrix was to show the key inputs and outputs of successful traders: what people did and how they did it, then the results were. I wanted the book to be full of real stories of success and transformation so that people could relate to those topics in a very personal way. Because many of the chapters were written by my Super Traders and I knew they'd talk about how much they liked our programs, I wondered if some readers might decide the book was just a promotional piece for our services. As a result, I went out of my way to include so much material that no one could possibly say that the purpose of this book was just to promote myself. The book makes it possible for anyone who reads it to have a significant roadmap to success, regardless of whether they used any of our other programs or not.
To achieve this, I included in the book:
It's my belief that if someone thoroughly studied all of the information in that book and had the discipline to follow through on the actions, they would be successful in the markets. So am I right? Well, only time will tell.
One of my core teachings is that we are shaped by our beliefs. Beliefs form the Matrix of our illusions. In addition, different kinds of beliefs form a hierarchy with environmental beliefs being the least impactful and spiritual beliefs being the most impactful. In my basic psychological workshop, Peak 101, I tend to avoid spiritual level beliefs but we get into them in much more depth in the more advanced psychological workshops, Peak 202 and 203. People tend to react strongly to spiritual level beliefs that don't match their own.
Because spiritual level beliefs play a part in trading success, I took a big chance talking about them in some detail in Trading Beyond the Matrix but I really wanted to make the book complete. To prove my point about strong reactions to spiritual beliefs, currently the book has about 16 five-star reviews on Amazon and 5 one-star reviews. The five-star reviews are from people who get it. The one-star reviews include comments like "useless junk," or "no more than promoting VT services," or "either the most or (more likely) least important trading book you'll ever read." And those were just the review titles. I noticed, however, that every one-star reviewer rejected the entire contents of the book because of one section of spiritual beliefs.
While it would be nice to see the book on the top of the best seller lists, my primary intent right now is to let our current subscribers know about all of the incredible information given in this book which include a comprehensive checklist on being ready to trade successfully, a process for personal transformation, and more than ten chapters written by traders who have transformed themselves at various levels using my processes. In addition to being my favorite book so far, I also believe it's one of the best trading books ever in terms of the information value provided.
Decide for yourself whether it is one of the worst or best trading books ever. And if you have a belief that clashes with the writing in the spiritual section of the book, you have some very valuable feedback which you can use to your benefit. Just ask yourself, "Does my belief give me peace or stir up emotions?" If your belief stirs up emotions, is it really a useful belief?

Only help if you can be helpfulHey All, A topic has come up of late in the IRC channel in regards to the general feel of the forums and the community that supports them. Things have progressed further than I would have liked with out this being addressed more publicly because I would much rather have snubbed this out sooner rather than later.. but I have been busy. Here is the general rule I would like people to follow: Wheaton's Law "Don't be a dick." Those of you from the IRC channel know that this is the only rule I ask people in there to follow and we generally have a good and lively time chatting about all manner of things. This is basic rule that just about everyone understands and I am going to expand it to the forums from here moving forward. If you can not help people in a helpful and polite manner then I simply ask you to stop. Now I generally take a back seat to moderating the forums as I like to participate in the suggestions forum fairly heavily at times and would rather do so as a forums user than a moderator. But I am also fairly well known for being the person who constantly puts their foot down and so I am stepping up and doing so on here. If you find yourself unable to respond to a message politely then I ask that you do not respond. This mostly focuses on the increasing level of hostility found within the Suggestion forum as well as the Server forum. I do not care if this is the 30th some odd time you have seen someone make the same suggestion. Or even if the new post on an older topic is one entry above the old one. I expect the members of this forum to respond politely to the user, new or old, and point to the older topic if it applies and even go the extra step to suggest they either add in new information or to summarize the outcome of the previous discussion based upon the new post's entry into it. That is what we are here for, that is why I close most topics instead of deleting them, so that they can be found and referenced down the road. The next topic is the slew of derailment attempts I have seen as of late. If you want to have fun and joke around that is what the off topic forum is for and pretty much anything goes there. I do not expect to read a suggestion thread and have to go through 3 pages of image memes people have shot back and forth. Quite simply this is a waste of my time to read and then have to clean up. Now for the summary. I am going to start taking a more active role, especially in policing the suggestion forum, and handing out warn levels to people whom I see doing this. These will be indiscriminate and applied not to just the first person who derails or is impolite on a topic or response, but to everyone whom follows the lead of that person. As I do not like doing things with out giving you all warning this post shall serve as that warning. If you have a desire to bring this topic up with me then I invite you to do so on the IRC channel. Lets raise the level of quality and grow the community. Let us not descend into the quality often found on the minecraft or league of legend forums. There is simply no need for that here. Be passionate about things, just do not be abusive.
Offline ServersRecently I've seen a few server listings showing up on the first page of the Servers forum that have been closed for an extended period of time, but have recently gotten a reply from a new member who didn't realize the server is offline. To help prevent this from happening in the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the report function on the original post of any servers that have been confirmed as offline, so that the topic may be locked. If you are the admin of a server and plan on taking the server offline, please use the report function on the original post of your topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be locked. If you are the admin of a server that has a locked topic, and would wish to bring the server back online, please use the report function on the original post of the topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be unlocked. As always, please remember to follow rule #3 of the servers forum and update your topic title to contain the version of TFC that the server is currently running. You can do so by editing the OP, and then clicking on "Use Full Editor."

Looking for a Historically Oriented RP TFC server set in Europe.
Dethorath posted a topic in Server RequestHi, I've been looking for literally years, for a server based on some of the more popular vanilla servers based on nation RP in europe and/or the world. TFC would be an amazing aspect to put into a relaxed semi-serious roleplay server with a popcap of 64 or higher. Every job involved in whatever kingdom you decide to create would be in depth enough to not get so boring as fast as vanilla gets. If anyone considers this, you will be loved by me and possibly others for trying out this idea.
Mobs, Ages, Cavemen, Heat, & More
27_Stop_it_TJ posted a topic in SuggestionsHave you read, understood, and followed all of the rules listed in large text at the top of the suggestions forum?(Yes/No):Yes Answering "no" to the above question will result in your post being deleted. I looked through a couple of pages in this suggestion list and didn't really find anything like this (plus if I did, this doesn't just copy it, I had completely different thoughts about it) so here is my list of things that I think should be in TFC2 -Cavemen: the mobs in minecraft are dumb to me really, I think they aren't realistic or believable so instead of having zombies, skeletons, creepers, etc; we should have randomly spawned hostile cavemen tribes that come out at night and spawn in abandoned villages *also on this page* and also have friendly cavemen that you can use to have different abilities like hunters, farmers, fishermen, shaman, etc;-Villages: in normal minecraft there's plenty of random things that spawn around but none in TFC like villages or abandoned mineshafts, but I think 1 you should be able to find hostile ones that aggressive cavemen tribes spawn around and friendly ones that you can claim. The way friendly cavemen would work is they spawn in the wild occasionally and if you find one you can trade it something to get him/her into your tribe. I also think you should be able to build houses in it similar to how that very old mod that let you have your own kingdom (I forgot the name, I think that mod was even before Forge came out)-Mobs Spawning: I hated in TFC1 that mobs were unable to respawn and wild wolves would kill them and you had to go miles from your house to find an animal and it was really hard and boring, since you had no way of protecting them in early game. I think you should let them respawn and be common enough to find with ease because in reality they wouldn't be SUPER rare, especially when tribes didn't breed them until thousands of years later... maybe you could have a system so that the game checks the chunks around you for mobs and if 2 of that animal are left then it can spawn more until... a max number? That way it doesn't lag out your game with mobs and it still lets you find them somewhat easily.-Ages & Abilities per age: It seemed in TFC 1 that you had a stone age but after that there was just metal and nothing came after that. I think you should have a system like a classic empire game where in the stone age you can have a tribe with up to 20 people and need like a hut for 4 people and then once you start planting and domesticating animals and get your very first metal tools (neolithic age) you can have basic farms and ways to breed animals but all the animals still look wild (bulls, not cows, bores, not pigs, etc;) and you still have cavemen and stuff but then you can move to the bronze and so forth and your livestock and people evolve (I'm no historian but you would have things where it would look Greek at some point and other cultures and there would be an Iron age and Ice age and so on...) and then you can have cities and tons of people and it grows and grows. Maybe eventually there can be guns and more advanced recipes and better medicine and armor and tools so that it still feels like there's something to do instead of TFC 1: Mine mine mine hammer hammer hammer build build build farm farm farm etc;-Building: in the early game of the original you didn't get to build anything except a whole in the ground and have a hobbit house but I think you should be able to have like stick buildings and evolve your materials as you go like sticks (paleolithic), stone & stick (neolithic), marble (Greek), stone brick (Roman), wooden & stone brick & metal & plaster (medieval)...bla bla bla... eventually modern. Also instead of hand building everything (yes I know that's Minecraft, but it gets old and its pointless) and just being able to look at it but it has no real use, you would have builders in your tribe/town/city/empire that build it and it looks good for you and looks cool and is "used" be the people in your settlement.-Servers: I know that empires sound a little overkill for single player (which it is...) but multiplayer servers (probably an official server considering Flans mod failed at letting users make servers) could have an awesome towny that forms a big empire like WOK modded servers and factions to have a Hurt-World/Arc feel where you have to evolve as fast as possible to kill people. And even cool mini-games and stuff like collecting food challenges and hunger games. I think this would add a whole new aspect to playing this mod so that its more entertaining and more people will use it.-HQM Mod & NEI Mod: Hardcore Questing Mod was made by the people at Feed The Beast that lets you track your progression and goals in-game. I think it would be very good for this because it works like Achievements and you open it to see how far you are and what you need to do next, which would've been great in the first game because you can actually play the game instead of read the wiki, but in this redo I think it is completely necessary to have some way in-game to see what you need to do. Especially if you do my idea of more defined ages, this mod will help because you can't read ahead of what you're at and it lets you put in more story line/detailed information. Also your new version should have compatibility with NEI, because people hate memorizing recipes or looking back and forth at a wiki, it doesn't feel like playing a game anymore. Pretty much every mod-pack made now uses NEI because you can see how to craft items and making a completely new system is a lot of unnecessary work.-Inventory: this is probably the least important, but I think you should remake your inventory and overburdened system. You should disable your inventory except your hot bar and make primitive bark/skin armor (the bark idea was in another article but this will show more reason to have it) that will give you more inventory space. If you do more protective armor and then armor with lots of pockets then the game will add complexity. So if you get bark early in-game then it will protect you a little bit but wearing skins will help more with heat and have more inventory space. The inventory would lock spaces when you start and unlock them when you wear armor. So naked you have only the nine hot bar slots and when you put on clothes/armor you get more and more storage.-Heat: light and heavy armor plus heat will add to the seasons/biomes so when it's winter you need wool or something but in the summer you wear light things (ex: summer you wear bear/buffalo skins but in winter you wear deerskin) which is pretty self explanitory what does what. This will add more to the armor because orriginally you had weight and no one cared really.-Killing: this might be a little graphic and all but if you think about it you don't need blood and you could just do skeletons instead of cut open animals (again that would be graphic, you just need skeletons that disapear after 5 seconds...) but if you had it so when you kill animals it drops a body on the ground (ragdoll type that disapears) and to get items from it you have to skin it by right clicking with a knife (which would drop skins & meat and turn the ragdoll to a skeleton) to get items and to get bones for other recipies you can just right click the skeleton to get bones. Then the bones could be used for tools and things but it doesn't waiste inventory space with stuff you don't want.

New Year Resolution Ideas
New year resolutions are more like a guideline to help you live and achieve certain goals in the new year. They are usually plans made at the begging of a new year with the mindset of keeping them so as to do and achieve more that year.
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution; it would be to find out who I am. – Cyril Cusack
While most new year resolutions are just empty words we say with the original aim of keeping, others are real and kept all throughout the year. Whatever the case may be, it is good to have plans for the year ahead. Below we have taken time to outline some of the best happy new year resolutions ideas for the new year 2018.
1 – Stop Procrastinating and get things done
Procrastination are some of the things that can kill a man and silent him for life slowly. In the new year 2018, Killing procrastination should be on your radar. Procrastination in many ways, by many professionals, in many books and teachings has continually been referred to as the the key ingredient for many unsuccessful projects in life. So, if you want to achieve more in the new year 2018, make sure that you don't procrastinate.
2 – Pick up a hobby, Learn Something and Improve on already Existing Activities
Engaging yourself in something you care about can boost your self confidence level and help you do more. It's essential that you should learn some new skills which interest you so much. Often (most times) all in the dream to achieve our goals and make a living, we actually forget to make a life. In the new year 2018, make a resolution that to start following something which you have great interest in, not minding the limitations, go for it and take out some time for yourself. It can be anything from, reading, writing, playing guitar, painting, gardening down to stitching, learning music, singing or anything which will make you a happy person.
3 – Get back in shape, Loose or add some weight
If Looking good is good business, then it only makes sense to be in such business. We all know the importance of good health, Outside the normal staying fit and improving the heart, Looking good adds up to some of the crucial self confidence boosters. So this time, make sure that you take up the resolution that you will work on your health, do some exercise, loose some weight, add up some weight if you feel you are too slim. You do not have to go all out with the gym thing, little exercises like using the stairs, walking, leaving your bad food habits, running or cycling can help.
4 – Go on a holiday with loved ones
Most of the time, we get too busy doing one thing over and over again and forget the fact that life is too short to be tied down to one activity all of the time. The real fun in life is going out, seeing different places and things you haven't seen before, meeting and exchanging ideas with people of all kind, seeing different culture and traditions.
In this New Year, All I just want to do is to go on more adventures. Be around good energy, get connected with more meaningful people, Learn new things and grow.
We all of us get stuck in a rut and miss to have fun and enjoy life. In this new year 2018 you can Promise yourself that you will go on at least one holiday. It may be a small place a little stay but make sure that you do visit new places, meet new people. This will help you rejuvenate and enjoy your life.

In 1445 Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press and it changed the world forever. The printing press created a cheap way to produce literature, and directly created a growth of intelligence that for the first time spanned the globe. It opened up the perspectives of mathematician, philosophers, artists, governmental thinkers, and scientist from all over the world to others, all over the world. Sometime between 1950 and 1970 a new form of the printing press evolved, which many have come to call, the Internet.
Today, sharing experiences, researching topics, and discovering new inventions has become an everyday activity. Knowledge of the entire world has become accessible in ways to which men like Galileo, Copernicus, Michelangelo, and other great thinkers only dreamt. But the exponential speed, to which the Internet has been growing, is something we must acknowledge, and attempt to utilize with a universal sense of care. We must keep our eyes open to the truths that surround us, and use the tools we have to better our societies in every way we can. We need to continue striving for more efficient and sincere ways to use our evolving technologies.
"You can't have an industrial revolution, you can't have democracies, you can't have populations who can govern themselves until you have literacy. The printing press simply unlocked literacy." (Howard Rheingold). This quote by Rheingold says so much for what the printing press did for the entire human race and we should all be aware of its influence. Imagine for a moment, if the printing press could unlock literacy and in part, unravel revolution, democracy, and a self governed people. Then what potential can you fathom that the Internet holds for us? What kind of future can we create by utilizing this mass system of connectivity? And how beautiful of a world would it be if we unlocked the intelligible awareness of the planet?

- By John Pacenti Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
The government — whether its federal, state or local — can't seem to make up its mind about kratom, a substance sold at head shops, gas stations and kava bars that a Palm Beach County mother blames for her son's death. Advocates say it can be a tool in fighting the opioid epidemic and is a safe pain reliever.
Now the Food and Drug Administration has entered the mix, issuing a public health advisory this past week, stating that kratom has raised "significant concerns, given its increasing prevalence and potential safety risks" and discounting its use in helping struggling addicts. The agency called it a deadly risk.
"We have a critical point in the opioid epidemic," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a statement. "The increasing use of kratom as an alternative or adjunct to opioid use is extremely concerning."
He acknowledged people are using kratom to treat pain, anxiety and depression but expressed worry that these people were treating those serious conditions without consulting a physician.
The FDA noted that calls to U.S. poison control centers regarding kratom increased 10-fold from 2010 to 2015 and that the agency is aware of 36 deaths associated with products containing the drug.
"Given all these considerations, we must ask ourselves whether the use of kratom — for recreation, pain or other reason — could expand the opioid epidemic," Gottlieb said
The FDA's public warning might open the door for the Drug Enforcement Administration to make kratom illegal. The DEA has said it was waiting for the FDA to make its move, according to The New York Post.
The DEA back-pedaled this past year on making the Southeast Asian leafy plant illegal after congressional lawmakers urged the agency to give the public a chance to comment. The DEA planned to name kratom a Schedule I drug, which would put it on a list with other illegal drugs such as heroin that have no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse.
This do-si-do followed a proposed state law on kratom being pulled from consideration in the Florida Legislature in April 2015 after its sponsor, Rep. Kristin Jacobs, D-Coconut Creek, said more research was warranted. The Palm Beach County Commission about the same time decided to hold off on plans requiring warning signs at shops that sold the herbal drug.
Kratom users claim the drug improves focus and induces euphoria in certain amounts. While the DEA didn't make it illegal, it was listed as a drug of concern as it is marketed legally as an alternative to controlled substances. It is often brewed in a tea and served in a coconut shell but can be taken in other forms, such as by a capsule or a powder mixed into a smoothie-like drink.
One of the fiercest opponents of kratom is Linda Mautner of Delray Beach. She blames her son Ian's suicide in July 2014 on addiction to kratom and has previously said she has been discouraged by the government's on-again, off-again efforts to reign in the drug. Packets of kratom were found in Ian's car after he jumped to his death from a highway overpass into traffic on Interstate 95.
She has said that people think kratom is safe because it is marketed as "all-natural." She said some kratom dealers have been cyberbullying her on social media.
"This what they do to parents of children who have died," Mautner said. "I saw what kratom did to him (her son). It was a drug for him."
Without government regulation, Mautner said kratom users have no idea what they are getting. "You don't know if you are purchasing kratom, if it's a true product or if it's been adulterated," she said.
If kratom is a drug that can be used for opiate addicts or for pain, then it needs to go through the same testing and procedures as any other medication, she added.
The National Institutes of Health at the universities of Mississippi and Massachusetts found that a kratom extract was useful in treating opioid withdrawal and possibly other addictive drugs.
Justin Kunzleman, director of Rebel Recovery, who has been an advocate of alternative treatment for opioid abuse, said kratom is safer than Tylenol based on deaths attributed to each and the risk of overdose. "It's shown great results for detox and harm reduction in opiate users," he said.
He was skeptical that the FDA is really interested in science-based facts considering it once approved the marketing of OxyContin as non-addictive. OxyContin, a legal and often abused opioid prescription painkiller, is considered by those in the drug abuse recovery industry as the on-ramp to the current crisis gripping the country.
The FDA "allowed drugs to go to market knowing they have a far greater risk than any proven to be associated with kratom," Kunzleman said.

[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2599?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12497546 ] A B commented on DERBY-2599: ---------------------------- Hi Mamta, quick question on the latest patch. The aggregate patch includes the following diff in ConcatenationOperatorNode: + if (rightOperand.getTypeId().isStringTypeId()) + {//collation of ? operand should be same as the other operand + leftOperand.getTypeServices().setCollationDerivation( + rightOperand.getTypeServices().getCollationDerivation()); + leftOperand.getTypeServices().setCollationType( + rightOperand.getTypeServices().getCollationType()); + } The collation wiki page says the following under "Collation Determination": 8) JDBC parameters (ie. ?) where the type of the parameter is a character type will have the same collation as of the character set of the schema where the statement is prepared. The collation derivation will be implicit. Is there a mismatch between the code and the wiki page? I tried to write a sample case to demonstrate the difference but it looks like Derby always sets the result of a concatenation operator to LONG VARCHAR if one operand is a char type and the other is a parameter (that's the behavior I saw with my examples, anyways; maybe I'm missing something). Since LONG VARCHARs are not comparable, that preempts any collation behavior that I was trying to test. But I thought I'd post the question anyways, in case there's something here that should be changed (perhaps just the wiki page?). Apologies if I'm overlooking something obvious... > Set correct collation type and derivation on DataTypeDescriptor(DTD). > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-2599 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2599 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.3.0.0 > Reporter: Mamta A.

I agree with one of the commentors on this post, that said, Google is doing this in response to the competition with FB et al. FB is making huge inroads in Googles once great monopoly. You can still find keywords that will rank with reverse attack marketing and can learn about it here: http://www.reverse-attack-marketing.info
Quote from Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land: "
Publishers allow search engines to index their content, which is used by the search engines as the core content they can put lucrative ads around.
In return, search engines have provided traffic to publishers and data on how those publishers are found. That latter part of the 'deal' was unilaterally pulled by Google."""
Robin Good's insight with this ScoopIt is plenty. It's a big deal about SEO being worthwhile, a real game changer as of Sept. 25th. ~ Deb
