Q: check entered values exist or not IF yes prevent saving it Else I'm trying to make employees sign in and if they used the button, to save username and time to save multiple times on rows with different of timestamps like this:

Now I want to prevent users entering multiple times on their attendance in the database by making a relationship between username and comedata to ensure a user can only sign their attendance once per day.
Example on my mind
Pseudo code:
If username = ComeForm_CGUserName_TextBox.Text
And CGComeDate = ComeForm_CGComeDate_DateTimePicker.Value
And username Is In DB And CGComeDate Is In DataBase
Then
    MsgBox("You have already signed your attendace")
Else
    Insert data into DataBase easy
End If

That is the logic I think it needs to follow to prevent multiple entries in the database.

    Dim ComeGoCheck As String
    ComeGoCheck = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ComeGo WHERE CGUserName=@CGUserName AND CGComeDate=@CGComeDate"
    Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(ComeGoCheck, Con)
    Dim query As Integer
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@CGUserName", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ComeForm_CGUserName_TextBox.Text
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@CGComeDate", SqlDbType.Date).Value = ComeForm_CGComeDate_DateTimePicker.Value
    Con.Open()
    query = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar())
    Con.Close()
    If query > 0 Then
        MsgBox("لقد تم تسجيل حضور الموظف مسبقا")
        Con.Close()
    Else
    End If

so the full save button code is :

The beef cheek was incredibly tender, the eggs perfectly poached, and the hollandaise really good.
A tasty dish however a bit more salmon would have been nice.
Super filling and were almost a meal themselves. And how awesome are their glasses?
I loved the eclectic feel that this place had with its quirky mixture of pop art and rustic design. Located in a warehouse that was previously a glazing company, Glass Merchants offers a menu of well known classics with a fresh twist on them. We also found out that this place is often rented out at night for various pop up restaurants which is such a great idea considering how impressive this space is. There is also ample parking right next to the building which makes visiting really easy. A place worth checking out if you are in the area.
*Disclaimer: I dined as a guest of Glass Merchants.

Q: Why the chef recipe cannot read the values from bash environment variables? This is the content of my shell script:
export TARGET_ROLE=play
vagrant up

I am using the script to export environment variables in order to set some variables inside my chef cookbook
role = ENV['TARGET_ROLE']
Chef::Log.info("Using role #{role}")
node.override[:mainapp][:target_role] = role

seq = ENV['SEQ']
Chef::Log.info("Using seq #{seq}")
node.override[:mainapp][:server_seq] = seq

Here is what I see in my log:

What have I done wrong?

A: You set an environment variable on the host. -- But Chef runs inside your Virtualbox VM.
To set environment variables for it use the binary_env option as described in the Vagrant documentation for Chef provisioning.

Italian is one of our darkest roasts. By tradition we use Colombian beans. The beans are taken past second crack and exhibit oil popping off the surface of the rich Colombian coffee. Sweet and soft is my taste profile characterization.
Brewing Recommendation: Press pot and drip. Some enjoy this roast as espresso but I find it too dark for that method. Although if your espresso machine works at a relatively low temperature (~ 180F or less) you may find a roast this dark the way to go.


October 8, 2018 – There's been much debate in the Miami real estate market in regards to money laundering, cash sales and the government Geographic Targeting Orders regulations (GTOs) aimed at absentee foreign investors. Just this week, President Donald Trump was accused of a lifetime of tax evasion and money laundering in a New York Times exposé.
In 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department set out to curb potential corruption and money laundering and enacted regulations that required cash buyers of high-end real estate to reveal their true identities. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) first used these GTOs to focus their crackdown specifically in Miami and New York City. Let's be clear, it has always been common for foreign buyers to purchase residential properties using limited liability corporations or shell companies, as opposed to taking ownership in their personal name.
While almost everyone agrees that a portion of these cash sales likely involved less than scrupulous acts of money laundering, there are also many legitimate reasons for a buyer to remain anonymous. There are various legal, estate, and income related tax reasons to purchase through a corporation, including protecting assets from issues of divorce, bankruptcy or other lawsuits. For some foreign buyers, many who face a great deal of government corruption, using an LLC is a way to protect and conceal their purchases from authorities back home. During the financial crisis in Venezuela, caused mainly by a drop in oil prices, the government turned to printing more money, causing inflation rates to reach as much as 83,000%. As the Venezuelan Bolivar was rapidly declining in value, investors scrambled circumvent the government and get their cash out of the country, many by way of real estate purchases.
Since the establishment of GTO's, statistics for all-cash purchases by limited liability corporations and other corporate entities showed a decrease from 10% of total sales to just 2.5%. All cash sales of luxury properties showed a drop by at least 4 percent. Miami numbers showed the biggest drop among all markets: corporate purchases of residential properties took a nosedive from 29 percent to just 2 percent.
Some analysts and government regulators are touting the success of the program as a "we told you so," considering it proof that a majority of these transactions taking place had some level of illegal activity. What they aren't publicly taking into consideration is that there is more than one way to close a real estate deal, and there are many other factors that likely caused changes in purchase patterns.
Just because these regulations require identity disclosure, buyers are still purchasing Miami real estate, just potentially through different avenues: GTOs do not apply for Miami purchases under $1M; GTOs require the property to be purchased with 100 percent cash; up until last year, wire transfers were explicitly excluded from this "cash" definition because the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 (on which GTOs regulations are based) doesn't cover wire transfers; as well as numerous other alternatives for purchasing.
There are also two compelling and legitimate tax planning reasons why so many foreign buyers purchase Miami real estate in the name of a LLC and/or offshore trust. First, they do not want to deal with the delays and major headaches associated with the IRS and FIRPTA withholding taxes. I can attest first hand that these situations are painful, costly, cumbersome and can ultimately result in IRS delays of two or more years from the date of sale to refund the foreign seller the balance of the withholding taxes. Second, there can be serious estate tax consequences for foreign buyers if they do not structure the ownership of the property in a domestic LLC and offshore trust. How would you like it if the US government took up to 46 percent of the property value from the inheritance you had planned for your children, as foreign owners would face in the event of their death?
Additionally, there have been several other market changes in the past years since the introduction of GTOs. We've seen drastic supply and demand swings in Miami's condo market; U.S. political and immigration policies have reached unprecedented turmoil; there have been drastic changes in emerging market currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar, and local economic factors in Miami's investor feeder markets including Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela.
There has also been much debate as to whose responsibility it is to discover and report potential illegal activity. Currently, much of that responsibility falls on banks and title insurance companies, which are required to know who they are dealing with. Developers, brokers and agents are not tasked with determining where their buyer acquired the money from, as long as they don't have specific knowledge of illegal activity.
WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IDENTIFYING ILLEGAL ACTIVITY?
As with most new attempts at regulation, there are upsides and downsides. Certainly, a reduction of money laundering and illegal activity is a good thing, but it also must be remembered that there are many legitimate reasons for a buyer to remain anonymous or purchase a property in corporate title. Some worry this might negatively affect property tax revenue while others see this as leveling the playing field for local buyers and investors.
GTO regulations have now spread to cover other "hotbed" markets throughout the U.S. and it's expected the specific rules will continue to adapt and change in coming years. Whether these rules prove to curtail what they set out to do is yet to be seen. What is certain is that the changes in current all cash purchase statistics are not solely a result of these regulations and are influenced by the many other factors at play.

OECD Home OECD Secretary-GeneralHigh-Level Policy Forum on Mental Health and Work: Bridging Employment and Health Policies - Closing Statement
High-Level Policy Forum on Mental Health and Work: Bridging Employment and Health Policies - Closing Statement
Mr. Angel Gúrria
The Hague, 4th March 2015
Ministers, State Secretaries, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Let me first thank the Dutch government again for kindly hosting this Policy Forum on this very important issue that may not yet be on the radar screen of many governments and policy makers.
Today's discussions have been intense and very stimulating. We have learned a great deal from the various experts and from each other. We came together today to make progress on how we can do better in supporting those with poor mental health and allow them to stay at work or re-gain employment. Our discussions have gone to the heart of the major challenges in this field. We also heard a lot about promising solutions.
Putting mental health in the context of inclusive growth
One of the most important projects I have initiated at the OECD is to look at how to achieve more inclusive growth in the future. We should make sure that growth does not just benefit the rich, the well-educated and the fully healthy. Growth which is not inclusive is not just unfair, it is inefficient: we need everyone to contribute, to the best of their abilities, to our shared social and economic goals.
We have heard clearly today, how people with poor mental health have often been pushed out of work, not because they cannot work, but because people have misplaced perceptions about what mental health means. They lose their jobs because employers do not know where to access the services they need. They get trapped in unemployment because benefit and employment agencies do not fully recognise their problems or have the tools to provide adequate support. This bears a high cost not only on those concerned, but also on the economy and the social fabric.
It is in everyone's interest that we end this poor state of affairs! Good policies will raise employment rates and reduce the costs of mental ill-health on people, on employers and on society as a whole.
Policy learning
We have learned that all countries face similar problems and how challenging it is for policy makers to move towards earlier intervention on the one hand and towards better integrated policy and service delivery on the other. We also heard about promising avenues in a number of countries to tackle some of the problems successfully. Let me just mention the interesting programme in Australia reaching out to disconnected young adults with mental health problems. Or the various initiatives in the UK to develop a new service culture with mental health care embedded in employment services and employment advice embedded in mental health services.
I would like to emphasise that this Forum does not mark the end of a process. It was a key step aimed at sharing the main conclusions of our work on mental health and work and to discuss where we stand; with the goal of connecting health policy makers and employment policy makers in order to discuss an issue that they can only solve together.
By comparing practices across countries, and holding each other to account for our successes and failures, we can make sure that this is a topic that remains on the international agenda for some years to come. We at the OECD are prepared to continue our efforts to review progress and identify promising practices to share; we will continue to sound the alarm when we think that countries' efforts are coming up short. But more than that, we will help you learn from the experiences in other countries, as I hope you have today.
Building on its considerable experience and credible reputation in this field, the OECD will continue its work on mental health and work. Our commitment is to help countries work outtheimplications of our policy conclusions for their specific situation; to implement policy change;and more generally to push this important economic and social agenda forward.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it was a great pleasure for me to take part in this Forum today. In closing, I would like to thank the two teams, one from the Dutch ministries and the other from the OECD, for organising such an inspiring event, and for working together so closely and effectively.
Let me invite the Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Social Affairs and Employment in the Netherlands, Mr Lodewijk Asscher, one of our hosts today, to close the Forum.

The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, meets Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in the athletes' village at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were joined by world's fastest man Usain Bolt as they visited athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games. The Royal trio and the Jamaican sprint star chatted and posed for photographs in the athletes' village in Glasgow as hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the visitors. The royals also played ball games with school children after meeting some of the host nation's medal winners at Team Scotland's accommodation. They were joined on their tour of the site by the country's most successful Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, who is also chieftain of the village. Their visit comes the day after they joined thousands of spectators at the Games, taking in gymnastics, boxing, hockey and swimming. After arriving at the village in the east end of the city today, they met Scottish judo gold medal winner Chris Sherrington and swimmers Ross Murdoch and Erraid Davies. They were then given a tour of the recreation facilities for the athletes, where Prince William played video games with some of the Welsh women's hockey team. All three moved on to the village green where they heard a performance of the Games' anthem for Unicef from a group of local school children. They then joined in the ball games traditionally played in countries from across the Commonwealth.

A slightly voyeuristic photograph, this is from an old lodge hall that was being converted to a residence. It's located in coastal Maine, a great location for all sorts of photography.
Also an awesome composition! Did you use any special filters to get the stairs behind the window so clear? The stairs look like a framed picture within the window itself. love it!
It's very hard to give sensible advice when I can't play with a picture myself and see what actually works. Something about the exposure, overall, sits oddly in my eye. If it were my picture, I think I'd experiment with giving the outer boards and the inner stair sides slightly different exposure values. I guess my own personal taste doesn't respond to the overall sameness of the whiteness or greyness. It makes the picture seem too flat. If you want to emphasize the voyeuristic feel, flatness isn't what you want, IMO.
First of all this is a wonderful photo fine...I love window frames but what I like most about this one is the stairway that is visible through the window. Sorry I don't have any suggestions on how to make it better but I guess that could be considered good.


These were taken with a 10X objective using oblique brightfield illumination.
These would move slowly, but occasionally they would all remain still enough to quickly take a stack of images.
This is from a stack of 19 images. It was taken at 20X (magnification on sensor) using a Canon 40D camera and a Nikon 20/0.40 CF M Plan microscope objective... both mounted onto a Nikon bellows.
It belongs to the family Daphniidae.
So I think it can be referred to as a daphnia. If not... what is it?


BERKELEY — As the popularity of take-home DNA kits to trace ancestry or calculate the risk for serious medical conditions grows, there is an increasingly critical need for federal oversight of "direct-to consumer" genetic testing, as well as of the use of DNA samples for research, according to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and several other academic institutions.
In the past year, scientists, sociologists and bioethicists, among others, have come to agree that the technology of these direct-to-consumer tests, which run between $100 and $1,000 apiece, is problematic and that the test results can be misleading and lead to problems including skewed ethnic data and questionable membership claims to Native American tribes.
But while organizations such as the American Society of Human Genetics have issued guidelines to curb the unintended consequences and misuses of DNA testing, federal agencies need to step in and help shape a "gold standard" in genetic ancestry testing, according to a policy paper published in the July 3 issue of the journal Science and coauthored by researchers from UC Berkeley, Stanford University, the University of Texas, University of Wisconsin and New York University.
"We encourage regulatory agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control to help set industry standards for responsible and accountable practices in genetic ancestry testing," said coauthor Kimberly TallBear, assistant professor of science, technology and environmental policy at UC Berkeley.
The article in Science is a direct response to the American Society of Human Genetics guidelines, which recommend increased accountability, transparency and collaboration among consumers, scientists and the companies selling take-home genetic ancestry kits.
"We take the position that overcoming the most difficult ethical challenges of genetic ancestry testing will depend on the political will of federal agencies to prioritize values of transparency, responsibility and communication," said Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, a medical anthropologist at the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University and lead author of the policy paper.
Lee and other authors argue that voluntary collaboration and transparency are unlikely to succeed because of the proprietary nature of companies' and institutions' genetic databases; the power disparity between scientists and their research subjects; and the diverse and possibly conflicting interests of stakeholders who don't even share a common language. For example, TallBear said, "Whose definition of 'origin' will prevail?"
"To a geneticist, origin might refer to ancestral populations inferred for an individual on the basis of specific genetic markers, specific algorithms for assessing genetic similarity and specific reference populations," the article says. "To a casual consumer, 'origin' might mean 'the country where I was born' ... to a Native American, origin might also signify the landscape feature or event where his/her people emerged or acquired their identity."
According to news reports, a half million consumers have purchased genetic ancestry tests, which are sold by more than two dozen personal genomics companies with names such as "Roots for Real," "23andMe" and "DNA Tribes." Typically, the test taker swipes the saliva inside his or her cheek and sends the swab to the lab. The DNA is extracted and compared to samples from a reference database of haplotypes (sets of inherited, linked genetic markers) to see if there's a match.
Different tests use different methods. For example, mitochondrial DNA tests trace the mother's lineage, while Y-chromosome tests track paternal ancestry. But because these tests only trace one bloodline, they exclude most ancestors. Moreover, they cannot pinpoint where these ancestors lived.
Another option is AncestryByDNA, a genealogy test that relies on markers that show genetic differences between what are assumed to be four biologically distinct populations: Africans, Europeans, East Asians and Native Americans. But some groups that don't fit neatly into these categories, such as South Asians and Middle Easterners, have received test results identifying them as Native Americans, for example, according to researchers.
Also critical to resolve, according to the article, are the ethical issues concerning the collection and use of DNA samples. For example, members of the Havasupai Tribe in Arizona allege that researchers from Arizona State University and the University of Arizona collected 400 blood samples from tribal members for diabetes research. But, according to news reports, those same samples were also used for unauthorized research on schizophrenia, inbreeding, and population migration, which stigmatize tribe members. The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled late last year that the Havasupai tribe can sue the Arizona Board of Regents, which is seeking to settle the case.
"It is a scientific imperative that we enact enforceable policies that determine what constitutes responsible and accountable collection and secondary use of DNA samples," the article says.
In addition to Lee and TallBear, coauthors of the article are Troy Duster, professor of sociology at UC Berkeley and New York University; Deborah Bolnick, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Texas; and Pilar Ossorio, associate professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin Law School.

Kościół Podwyższenia Krzyża Świętego w Gogolewie – rzymskokatolicki kościół parafialny we wsi Gogolewo, w powiecie śremskim. Należy do dekanatu nowomiejskiego.

Architektura
Drewniany, zabytkowy kościół pochodzi z 1779. Posiada barokowe wyposażenie (XVII-XVIII wiek) i dach kryty gontem. Starszy kościół w 1777 roku spalił się wskutek uderzenia piorunem. W 1779 zbudowany został kolejny kościół drewniany, który przetrwał do naszych czasów. Kościół ten został zbudowany na niewielkim wzniesieniu przy zakolu rzeki Warty, w miejscu, jak głosi legenda, w którym zatrzymał się krzyż płynący pod prąd rzeki. Zdarzenie to zostało odebrane jako znak od Boga i zmobilizowało miejscowych do zbudowania świątyni. Na pamiątkę tego wydarzenia zmieniono wezwanie kościoła z wyżej wymienionych na Podwyższenie Krzyża Świętego.

Obiekt wpisano do rejestru zabytków  22 grudnia 1932, a potem ponownie 28 grudnia 2005.

Otoczenie
Kościołowi towarzyszą: cmentarz i drewniana dzwonnica kryta czterospadowym dachem z gontami – oba z XVIII wieku. W pobliżu stoi też dworek z końca XVIII lub początku XIX wieku.

Eupheme is a terrestrial planet located in the center of its star's habitable zone. This planet is similar to Earth and is the sister planet of Eucleia, which is located ten light years away. Because Eupheme's star, Aglaea, is almost double the mass of Earth's star, Eupheme is almost double the length away from its star as Earth is from the Sun.
Eupheme is similar to Eucleia and Earth in many ways. Sixty-eight percent of the surface is water and the land is mostly covered in rain forests with less than five percent covered in dry grasslands. There are only a few known species that live on this planet, though none are sentient.

Q: Correct way to implement timed home widgets? (pre Honeycomb) I'm asking about home widgets like for Google Play or Youtube. They loop repeatedly through 5-10 items, going to the next one like each 5 seconds.
I read that this can be done with alarm manager, but in all posts about that, people say, that a high update rate will consume much battery life. In this post there's somebody talking about using timer with Handler. But is this a valid approach in a BroadcastReceiver?
Do I have to "wake up" the broadcast receiver each time to loop through the items, with alarm manager? Or how is this done?
Thanks.

A:
In this post there's somebody talking about using timer with Handler. But is this a valid approach in a BroadcastReceiver?

Not really, because it will only work so long as your process exists, which is probably not going to be very long.

I don't know how to use a third party home screen

Download one from the Play Store, install it, press HOME, and choose the newly-installed home screen.

So these widgets can do this because they are shipped with the device?

That is not what I wrote.
A home screen is a program, written by a programmer. It can do whatever that programmer chose to have it do.
App widgets involve inter-process communication for every update, which is why they are a bit expensive if you update a lot. A home screen does not need to use inter-process communication to update itself. Hence, some manufacturer-supplied fancy "app widgets" are not implemented via AppWidgetProvider, but rather are features of the home screen app itself, simply listed and configured as if they were app widgets.

They loop repeatedly through 5-10 items, going to the next one like each 5 seconds.

On Android 3.0+, the best answer is to use AdapterViewFlipper, as you do not need to manually update it -- the AdapterViewFlipper will pull the next bit of content as dictated by the configured update period..
On earlier versions of Android, you will need to do this yourself, and AlarmManager is probably the most reliable option if it truly has to be time-based updating. Please consider letting the user control the update frequency, including disabling the time-based updates entirely.

Many of my friends requested me to add the calorie content in my recipes, so I will be doing that henceforth. The calorie content mentioned in the dishes will be an approximation based on the ingredients I use, and could differ slightly on case to case basis.
The importance of counting your calories on a regular basis is advised by many nutritionists and health instructors. The reason counting calories is important, is because in the modern day world we eat a lot of processed food. When we are having our favorite takeaway for dinner, or munching on that oh so delicious salad at the salad bar near our office, we often forget that the ingredients they use might not be fresh, and are highly likely to be using some form of processed ingredients. It is always wiser to have an approximate gauge of the calories we are consuming on a daily basis. It need not be an exact measure, just a high level of estimation is sufficient.

Save CBD Now!
Category: CBD
Unless the FDA makes an exception, consumers will lose access to affordable CBD oil. Action Alert!
Over the last couple of years, ANH has been reporting on the many benefits of CBD oil, a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. Among other things, CBD oil is extremely helpful in managing pain. You might think that, in the midst of a crippling epidemic of opioid addiction, a public health agency would be interested in preserving access to affordable, non-addictive pain remedies. But the FDA could shut the door permanently on consumer access to affordable CBD oil, unless concerned citizens make their voices heard.
You'll recall from our previous coverage that the main obstacle is this: the FDA has approved a CBD drug, Epidolex, for the treatment of a rare form of childhood epilepsy. The drug will reportedly cost $32,500 a year. Because CBD oil was likely not sold as a supplement before 1994, and no "new supplement" notification was filed on CBD before it was investigated as a drug, it cannot legally be sold as a supplement.
So far, the FDA is treading lightly. They've announced that putting CBD supplements, or foods to which CBD has been added, into interstate commerce is illegal. The agency has sent warning letters to several CBD companies for making illegal disease claims. In these warning letters, however, the FDA notes that, for the above-cited reasons, "CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition." In other words, if it wanted to, the agency could put its foot down and move against any company selling CBD supplements.
There is a growing consensus that the best way to protect CBD supplements is for FDA to provide an exemption for CBD oil—that is, despite the existence of a CBD drug, to allow the continued sale of CBD supplements.
There are efforts in motion to accomplish this goal in Congress, but they do not go far enough. The House of Representatives has approved an amendment to an appropriations bill that would allocate funds for the federal government to start the necessary processes to set a safe level of CBD for consumers to use each day, but it doesn't provide an exemption for CBD from FDA rules. There is an amendment coming before the Senate Appropriations Committee that would exempt CBD oil, but it also leaves it to the FDA to determine how much CBD can be sold in supplements. We are extremely wary of leaving such an important decision to the FDA. Recall that the government is already looking to follow the example of many European countries in limiting the maximum dosage of dietary supplements. We fear that if the decision is left to the FDA, the agency will protect the interests of pharmaceutical manufacturers and severely limit the amount of CBD allowed in supplements such that it becomes impossible, or extremely difficult, to get any therapeutic effect.
We at ANH think that a request for an exemption for CBD must be accompanied by a stipulation that supplement doses of CBD should be able to go up to 100mg of full-spectrum CBD—so for example, supplement capsules could contain no more than 100mg of CBD. Doctors report that the vast majority of patients can be clinically improved with this dosage size, and of course smaller dosages can be made to accommodate patients with different needs.
It is shocking that this issue has come to this. Deaths from fentanyl, an FDA-approved drug, and other synthetic opioids reached an appalling 30,000 in 2018. When a safe, non-addictive, and effective alternative to deadly opioids is found, it is snatched away by Big Pharma with the help of the FDA, whose mission it is to protect public health. It is one of the most shameful examples of crony capitalism in recent memory.
Action Alert! Write to the FDA and Congress, calling for an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD. Please send your message immediately.

Leave CBD alone! It's been proven not harmful or addictive. Let people decide for themselves.
Luke Dykes says:
This is a natural medicine that doesn't need a patent or large amounts of money to be used. This is a gift from nature, and should be freely available for all to use. Please help our citizens to have health freedom and the choice to use the medicines which don't cost a fortune and have terrible side effects. Thanks.
Rich Moser says:
Keep cannabis away from Big Pharma!
Jo Greenwald says:
CBD is an important substance for many people who do not tolerate pharmaceutical medicines well. For these patients, CBD has been a godsend and I encourage you to allow an exemption of up to 100 mg. of full spectrum CBD. We should not taint the approval process of these substances with political or commercial considerations. The object should be to help patients have access to safe substances. I myself cannot take almost all chemical medicines without severe reactions and I have always relied on natural remedies. I am now 74 yrs. old and would consider it a true disaster if I am deprived of remedies that have helped keep me out of hospitals and away from the toxic effects (for me) of so much of what is offered as treatment medically. Please take into account the millions of citizens just like me in making any decision. Please keep our well being in your consideration. Thank you.
felicia kandel says:
FDA back the hell off!!
Do not take away consumer access to up to 100mg of CBD oil. Thank you.
Linda Lane says:
So another healing compound, CBD oil, that is available to the public, where the FDA wants to control it so Big Pharma can control the cost for more obscene profits. Where is the FDA control on the deadly, opioids that are killing thousands, overdoses of 70,232 in 2017, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse?
Stop the madness now putting profit over peoples lives to have access to CBD oil. FDA is too easily bought off by lobbyists for drug companies that are already making more profit off the pricing of life saving drugs that those in other countries. FDA has a long history of failure in controlling drugs that kill people, who would not have died if the FDA had done it's job in the first place before the drugs were released.
Veronica Debnam says:
I wholeheartedly support this action. Thank you for keeping me informed!
Jan Weisel says:
You need to exempt CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg so that consumers can still buy it and use it to stay healthy.
Rana Christensen says:
We need to start thinking about human life and not the greed for the pharmaceutical!
Toni Kryszak says:
I am not surprised. Big Pharma does not want people taking CBD instead of their high priced drugs for pain. And you know Big Pharma kind of regulates the FDA. So much corruption that just lines the pockets of some and robs the rest of us from getting stuff that really helps. What a darn shame.
Sandra Limpert says:
Both Congress and the FDA need to move into the 21st Century with an open mind and a priority on the patient versus big pharma. More education and less close-mindedness is needed, as well. Taking money out of politics and banning lobbying might be another good step forward.
Susan L Fleming says:
There must be an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD.
Brenda Wyrick says:
Follow the example of other countries and do not limit doses of CBD oil.
Kenneth Bay says:
With problems with current drugs that cause harm and even death how can you reasonably put restrictions on CBD oil? CBD oil has yet to cause harm or death but some believe it provides some degree of relief from there symptoms. Provide protections from those drugs that cause harm and death not from those that do not hurt anybody but Big Pharma.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
Mrs. Sarah Skilling says:
Please do the right thing and safeguard consumer access to CBD. Please make it an exemption with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD.
Jon Krueger says:
Might be important for some. No reason to make it tough to get.
Mark Powers says:
CBD oil is a likely answer to problems of opioid addiction, and many other issues. It is highly important that an exemption for CBD oil and daily doses of up to 100mg be approved by Congress and the FDA soon!
Leanne Morin says:
CBD Oil works really well to help my mom with the terrible pain she has with scoliosis. Please do not outlaw CBD Oil – it is safe & so much better than a pain "remedy" like opioids.
Kris Knoll says:
CBD has been shown to be effective. Please, do not let people lose access to this tool for their health. Prescriptions should NOT be the only thing available for people to use…please respect our rights to choose our own health treatments
g. willis says:
Please allow the exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD.
John Dinyari says:
There needs to be an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD.
diana horowitz says:

Karen Wolf says:
No regulation needed.
Heidi Wacker says:
There are many benefits of CBD oil, a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. Among other things, CBD oil is extremely helpful in managing pain and useful against the rampant opioid crisis this country is dealing with. Please don't put the greed of pharmaceutical companies ahead of the citizens of the USA and allow us access to CBD supplements with a dosage of up to 100mg of full-spectrum CBD. Thank you.
The FDA should exempt full spectrum CBD oil supplements with dosages of up to 100mg. This is an extremely safe oil that significantly reduces pain and anxiety. Don't let big pharma take this away from us.
Linda Simpson says:
Our rights under our Constitution are being taken away by Corporations in America – under the umbrella, "Big Pharma" – every single American citizen has the right under our Constitution to choose to take safe, non-addictive, effective alternatives to drugs – drugs that most often than not, have serious side affects. We must protect our rights and call for an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage up to 100 mg of CBD.
William Todd Levinson says:
Stop vilifying this natural remedy.
Fran Ransom says:
This has been shown to be effective and easy to use without harmful side effects
Are you serious? Here we go again … it's hard enough to sell Cbd online now let alone colloidal silver which suddenly became illegal also to sell for consumption. Follow me above and let's help save our health from these corporate giants. Maybe these are the real giants in the bible we have to face.
Meredith Basinger says:
Stop inhibiting natural medicine! Many people, scientists and doctors are realizing the amazing health benefits of CBD oil! Some folks may need higher dosages than others, please consider this!
Doug Brown says:
My wife has chronic pain and has reactions to oral pain medication. CBD oils used topically have been helpful. Please allow people to use natural medications like this. Giant drug companies are in business for money – not to help people.
Allow an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100 mg. The American public would like at least one government agency to actually work for the people, not the drug companies.
You can also use DMSO and PEMF therapy
Louis Albinati says:
Please exempt CBD oil ith a dosage of up to100mg. of CBD. Many seniors on a fixed budget used this for pain relif.
If the price is increased by the ruling of the FDA these people will not be able to afford it. Please, Please consider . It is said that a country is judged by the way they treat their seniors
Carrie Hathaway says:
Keep the FDA out of things it doesn't understand.They just want the revenue and put their fingers into stuff they have no business in.
Bonnie Kenny says:
A safe, non-addictive, and effective alternative to deadly opioids is found, it is snatched away by Big Pharma with the help of the FDA, whose mission it is to protect public health. It is one of the most shameful examples of crony capitalism in recent memory.
Catherine Livingston says:
CBD significantly reduces inflammation for me and makes my pain bearable. You need to concentrate on the opiod crisis, and the greed that has fueled the addition epidemic. Until we see the government meaningfully confronting those who pushed opioids, we know you are just still working for the corporate profiteers.
Barbara Joseph says:
As a senior citizen who benefits from CBD products it is important to keep the availability for use. It is such a better alternative than the opioid crisis offers.
Richard Pearce says:
CBD oil is extremely helpful in managing pain.
Deaths from fentanyl, an FDA-approved drug, and other synthetic opioids reached an appalling 30,000 in 2018. When a safe, non-addictive, and effective alternative to deadly opioids is found, it is snatched away by Big Pharma with the help of the FDA, whose mission it is to protect public health. It is one of the most shameful examples of crony capitalism in recent memory.
Please allow an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100 mg of CBD
OSCAR O BARROZO says:
Estoy de acuerdo con las medidas que puedan tomar las autoridades como FDA, siempre y cuando no afecten a los consumidores. Porque es importante? Porque de esta manera habra una regulacion que no permita a "distribuidores" fraudulentos que den una cosa por otra. Ya se esta dando el caso que hasta en tiendas de conveniencia o departamentales esten vendiendo el aceite. Si se debe imponer una reglamentacion que controle a los productores y distribuidores mediante una certificacion.
Terry Atkins says:
If this all natural CBA oil can help children with epilepsy,pain management and other health problems why are is the FDA try to calling for exemptions. All natural products work better with out side affects.
sharon wojno says:
With so many allopathic drugs causing serious and deadly side effects, why do you have to harass people who take something that is safe.
B. Green says:
I'm writing with regards to calling an exemption for CBD oil with a dose of up to 100 mg. of CBD. For the thousands or more of people that have chronic health conditions, CBD oil has just recently been made obtainable. I ask that you consider to let the current today's law stand and that this much needed supplement not be restricted from any of us. This product has allowed a lot of sufferers to cut back on and even in some cases completely rid themselves of powerful medication that contains strong ingredients ( as well as some meds that are addictive).
I thank you for your time and more importantly your consideration.
B. Green
jeri ichikawa says:
I work as a mental health counselor and have seen the great benefits CBD oil provided to many of my clients with a variety of diagnoses and symptoms.
Wendy Fast says:
This is an attack on our liberty, and a massive gift to big pharma.
Rev. Elisabeth Zenker says:
There is no reason to make this illegal — unless the pharmaceutical industry wants to try and duplicate it!
Dominic Rapson says:
Works to alleviate my joint pain without drugs. Please don't take it away.
Rob Kar says:
CBD is helpful to me and many others.
Lauren Kahn says:
Having affordable access to the incredible benefits of CBD oil for my clients is crucial. They have had noticeable improvements in discomfort from topical CBD balms. Unlike addictive drugs, or alcohol and cigarettes for that matter, there are no negative side effects. This should be an absolute no brainer for the FDA to provide exemption. Spend your energies and resources in going after E cigs and other harmful substances
Paul Kemp says:
This is outrageous that the FDA is allowed to write its own rules that would effectively take away the public's right to obtain natural medicinal herbs and give them to the pharmaceutical companies that have developed drugs from them.
I expect that, with all the major investment that has been made in the CBD supplement industry, coupled with the popularity of CBD products in the U.S., a serious legal challenge to the Investigational New Drug regulation will be launched and succeed.
This would set a bad legal precedent for any other herbal product if the FDA is allowed to go ahead with it. I believe natural herbal medicines belong to the world's people and our natural rights should not be preempted by large corporations because they have developed a synthetic drug from these plants.
We all need to let Congress know how we feel about this.
M.S says:
Taking this helpful natural medicine away isn't doing the public citizens a huge disservice!
Rev. A.A. Patrick says:
Leave CBD supplements alone. Big Pharma doesn't need your help to gouge people.
William F Dodson says:
Please protect consumer access to CDB oil with daily doses up to 100 mg. I rely on this to control leg cramps at night that otherwise disturb my sleep. It is more effective than the muscle relaxants that my doctor has prescribed, and I have not encountered any side effects, in contrast to the prescription drugs that had significant side effects and little benefits.
Ray Rose says:
Do the right thing and provide an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD!
Stephanie Hammond says:
This is a benign herbal oil that has medicinal benefits and no altering components. This should be legal and regulated for potency to make sure it is what people are paying for, but also needs to be affordable.
robin landers says:
Please do not do anything to the CBD Oil I used theHEMP Extract oil 500 for my tmj and if you go down to 100 my it will not help and my tmj will get worse and if it's gets worse I can not eat anything and it gets so bad I can't sleep so please don't do anything to i t .
Sally G says:
Please save this excellent and safe treatment for many health conditions. Yours, a concerned patient
keep voting for dems and repubs,, fools!
Clinton Blumer says:
I am a 85 year old male with several medical problems that produce chronic pain. I have been using CBD oil for close to a year now. I know that it will not cure my pains, but it does help to alleviate the pain.
I do not like to take opiod pain killers. CBD oil is a god substitute for pain without all the bad effects caused by opioids.
Brittany Ardito says:
Please do not take away our access to affordable CBD oil. It has been very useful for many of my friends and family.
Emery Pavel says:
No FDA hands on my CBD oil or recommend dosage. Stay away FDA!!
Jennifer Rice says:
I know several people that use CBD oil to get through their pain WITHOUT pain medications that are extremely addictive. Helps with pain and people that have seizures. I witnessed this myself. My friend was taking care of her adult brother who had downs syndrome and would get muscle spasms that would lock up. Once they started giving him CBD oil, it would stop these muscles from seizing.
Samantha Turetsky says:
I'm writing today to ask that you exempt CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100 mg. Many Americans have found immense medicinal value in CBD oil and it is important that they maintain access to this medicine. Thank you for your time.
JOYCE SHIFFRIN says:
HELLO, THIS IS JOYCE SHIFFRIN, AND I AM SENDING YOU THIS E-MESSAGE BECAUSE I AM URGING AND BEGGING YOU FROM THE VERY, VERY, VERY BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP THE BANNING OF CBD OIL FOR ALWAYS!!! WHY IS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE PERTINENT TO ME, YOU MAY ASK? BECAUSE CBD DOES NOTHING BUT GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM CANCER, ARTHRITIS, AND OTHER CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS FOR ALWAYS!!!
THEREFORE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE MY E-MAIL VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUSLY!!!
JOYCE SHIFFRIN
i AM calling for an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD
craig allison says:
All part of a backwards , fascist government . Cannabis in all forms is here to stay. Both CBD & THC are so valuable for so man conditions , and enable avoidance of awful pharmaceutical side effects.
Lozz Starseed says:
It is shocking that this issue has come to this. Deaths from fentanyl, an FDA-approved drug, and other synthetic opioids reached an appalling 30,000 in 2018. When a safe, non-addictive, and effective alternative to deadly opioids is found, it is snatched away by Big Pharma with the help of the FDA, whose mission it is to protect public health. It is one of the most shameful examples of crony capitalism!
Renee Wiest says:
There should not only be an exemption on CBD dosage, there should be no set FDA dosage. CBD is a safe, nonaddictive substitute to the opioid epidemic. An epidemic brought on by over subscribing and over dispensing by the pharmaceutical companies who show no signs of amending the problem. Now the FDA wants to let one of those pharmaceutical companies release an altered version of a safe supplement and we're supposed to trust that they know what they're doing???
If a maximum dosage on CBD is passed, where will it end? What dietary supplements will the FDA want to put limits on next?
When the FDA takes a safe substance, limits the dosage, thereby giving the impression that it is NOT safe, what road does this take us down?
Lesley Brown says:
Legalise CBD oil & stop suplimenting poison for a non addictive cure.
This is very important to mine and otehrs health
Save CBD Now! says:
[…] Posted September 13, 2019 Unless the FDA makes an exception, consumers will lose access to affordable CBD oil. Action Alert! Over the last couple of years, ANH has been reporting on the many benefits of CBD oil, a non-psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant. Among other things, CBD oil is extremely helpful in managing pain. You might think that, in the midst of a crippling epidemic of opioid addiction, a public health agency would be interested in preserving access to affordable, non-addictive pain remedies. But the FDA could shut the door permanently on consumer access to affordable CBD oil, unless concerned citizens make their voices heard. Read more. […]
Elissa Mericle-Gray says:
Need to make an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD!
Nyra Toth says:
CBD is a natural, safe and healthy substance.
Donald Kelly says:
To Whom it may concern in our US Congress and the FDA: We think that a request for an exemption for CBD must be accompanied by a stipulation that supplement doses of CBD should be able to go up to 100mg of full-spectrum CBD—so for example, supplement capsules could contain no more than 100mg of CBD. Doctors report that the vast majority of patients can be clinically improved with this dosage size, and of course smaller dosages can be made to accommodate patients with different needs.
It is shocking that this issue has come to this. Deaths from fentanyl, an FDA-approved drug, and other synthetic opioids reached an appalling 30,000 in 2018, and well over 400,000 so far. CBD is a safe, non-addictive, and effective alternative to deadly opioids, and it is our request that with the help of you (Congress), and the FDA, whose mission it is to protect public health, you will do what is in the best interests of the American people not the Drug companies.
Miss Keil says:
FDA and Congress, I urge you to call for an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD. This will help so many people suffering from seizures, migraines, orthopedic, optical, dental, neurological, musculoskeletal & chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, as well as many other health issues that cause pain, inflammation, & skin rashes. I personally have witnessed the decreased level of pain in people & pets after CBD has been introduced to their lives without harming their bodies through smoking, vaping, or risk of addiction or death. Those who use CBD have improved their function & increased their productivity. With your standards set such as going through safety checks to ensure no bacteria growth. They will continue to safely enjoy the benefits of CBD. Please call for an exemption for CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD. Thank you for your continued support.
Annette Ahlander says:
Neocons want to outlaw CBD because it actually WORKS . . . with ZERO side effects (I know this for a fact; I deal with tendonitis). They'd rather you be "conscripted" and "prescripted" for life on doctor-ordered pain medications that VERIFIABLY KILL people (where do you think the opioid crisis began?) – at the very least, bankrupt them. Such is the state of health care in these United States. What a scam. P. S.: Those "miraculous" anointings by Jesus? Likely cannibis.
dyan Bryson says:
YOU know that the Pharmaceutical companies want this – to MAKE $$$$. This IS Wrong!! Cuz YOU know that they will CHARGE OUTRAGEOUS $$$$. This is NOT for the Drug companies. WORK FOR THE PEOPLE – NOT Corporations. To give this to the Drug Companies tells the public YOU dont care about The People, You care about the Corps…. whose back pocket are you in?
Penny Zahler says:
america does everything to hurt its citizens and help big money
Kathryn Fenn says:
CBD oil has been very helpful for a number of people and pets I know, helping with both pain and anxiety with no difficult side effects. Please do not take this away!
Nora James says:
Please keep CBD oil available to everyone. Bottles are equipped with child-proof caps. People need to figure out the right dosage for themselves, not have the government do this. This should be regulated as a supplement, not as a pharmaceutical.
CBD oil helps many people get off addictive pharmaceuticals and still obtain pain relief. This could prevent many, many deaths from Fentanil laced street products.
Keep supplements of CBD oil available to all.
Margretina Hahn says:
I have multiple sclerosis and have come to rely upon CBD in a dose of 100mg at bedtime to help with chronic insomnia. It also helps stop my muscle twitching. Please don't make this valuable,nonaddictive remedy unavailable to the average person.
Heinz W. Muller says:
As an GP.NM I have used CBD oil on many of my patients, and also for my self with the very best results
Karen WhiteEagle says:
CBD is a major health need for all patients, please make this a covered medical prescribed medication for our bodies, especially those of us with chronic, long-term conditions which we can never fully recover from nor live free from pain, and we do not seek to abuse opioids nor other prescription drugs which are not always fully tested for long-term use or damages to our systems, and/or cause other major health damages. Thank you!
jane carnell says:
Consumers need and deserve continued access affordable CBD oil. Please exempt CBD oil with a dosage of up to 100mg of CBD. This is a natural substance not a prize of Big Pharma.
Veronica Gomes says:
My mom & grandma can't take pain meds but they love their CBD suckers!! So doctor meds are being taken away, now the harmless CBD is at risk.. do they want everyone to be in pain?? Please don't outlaw CBD's.. the FDA is backwards with helping us!! There are children who depend on it for their seizures too!!
Teresa Gregurek says:
The FDA should make an exemption for CBD oil and should not limit the dosage. I am using it for pain from a shoulder injury. I prefer to use natural supplements to heal my body. I know of many people who are using CBD oil to help with sleep problems, anxiety, and pain, and it is working and not causing side effects like prescription drugs.
Veronica Bourassa says:
CBD oil is a natural substance not a prize of Big Pharma.
As such it should not be regulated as a dug

Coleslaw is an essential summer treat, but most versions are full of sugar and therefore far from friendly for low-carb diets. The recipe below, however, features homemade mayonnaise and no added sugar, making it much lower in carbs than the original. The slight piquant from fresh radishes is a welcome addition too.
This salad is best when made a little bit in advance, to allow the flavors to meld. Consider making it the night before your gathering so that the dressing can wilt the cabbage and give it the perfect texture. If you don't have time to make it the night before, make sure you combine the ingredients at least 15 minutes before serving.
Combine the cabbage, radishes and scallion in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic salt and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and mix well to coat.
