Up to this point in this 8-part series, we have addressed several things related to pre-wetted wipers: the convenience and consistency of presaturated wipers, how to unlock the best wiper for your cleanroom, the powerful wetting solution of isopropyl alcohol, important wiping techniques for effective cleaning, and most recently unlocking the most from your pre-wetted wipers packaging.
In this next to last part of the series, we turn to a topic of paramount importance: sterile pre-wetted wipers. Why are they of such importance? Because in sterile suites such as aseptic filling, biologics, and sterile testing labs, uncompromising inflexibility of sterility is critical in these environments.
This section will use aseptic environments as the example where sterile protocols must be maintained since there is no opportunity to sterilize the manufactured product terminally. Thus, the environment must always be kept perfectly sterile – in other words, aseptic. Of course, we can apply these procedures to other sterile suites.
Sterile consumables used in aseptic areas must undergo rigorous manufacturing procedures to provide a Sterility Assurance Level of 10ˉ6, which means that there is a probability that only one consumable out of a sample of one million might be found to be non-sterile. So then, it stands to reason that the sterile pre-wetted wipers must conform to these exact stringent requirements.
To illustrate the utility, convenience, and benefits of these products, let’s examine the various ways in which we use sterile pre-wetted wipers in aseptic environments.
First, when items make their way into the cleanroom – generally via a passthrough – you must wipe down the objects themselves or the packaging containing them with a sterile wiper wetted with 70% IPA, which is sterile. If you aren’t sure of what wiper to use, we recommend trying our Berkshire Sterile SatPax® 1200 70% IPA wipes for this process.
Second, pre-wetted wipers are valuable for wiping down the operator’s gloves before touching critical surfaces in the aseptic area. There are two benefits for doing so:
- The 70% IPA in the wiper will kill any viable organisms on the operator’s gloves
- The wiping action removes the dead organisms that otherwise could act as a source of endotoxins.
It’s also important to note that spraying gloves with a 70% IPA solution may kill the organisms, but the endotoxins remain. Endotoxins, the dead cells of the organisms, are of great concern in the medical device industry since those devices are implanted in the body and can cause fevers.
A further benefit to using sterile pre-wetted wipers for glove wipe downs compared to spraying gloves with 70% IPA is that aerosols from the spray have resulted in causing false particle alarms.
After sanitizing the gloves as described above, you can use the sterile pre-wetted wipers to clean environmental surfaces within the aseptic area before, during, and after the manufacturing process.
Another benefit to using sterile pre-wetted wipers is their ability to remove surface agar residues resulting from Rodac® contact plates. The purpose of these contacts plates is to determine the microbial load on surfaces. When cultured and read, the Rodac® plates can verify that surfaces are free of viable organisms. However, if not removed by sterile pre-wetted wipers, residual agar residues on the surface can act as a growth medium for opportunistic microbials.
Finally, as mentioned above, a key benefit of using sterile pre-wetted wipers is eliminating squirt bottles in the sterile suite. When you dispense alcohol onto a dry wiper from a squirt bottle, you have less control over the amount of alcohol distributed. And the operator’s gloves prevent tactile feedback, which hinders the indication of the optimum level of dampness. Both factors can contribute to using an excessive amount of alcohol for your contamination control requirements.
In closing, it’s essential to highlight again that sterile pre-wetted wipers incorporate the optimum amount of 70% IPA for contamination control activities. And this is important because by using these sterile pre-wetted wipers, there is less alcohol used in the facility. So, that’s an added benefit. There may also be an opportunity to eliminate squirt bottles and the transfer of bulk solvent, representing savings in solvent costs and charges for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Moreover, sterile pre-wetted wipers eliminate fugitive emissions from squirt bottle dispense nozzles and alcohol transfer operations.
We hope we’ve shared some insight relative to sterile pre-wetted wipers and why you need them in your cleanroom. However, if you’re new to the industry or looking for a refresher on some of the topics covered in this week’s article, here are some helpful links to explore:
- Overview of Aseptic Cleaning
- Sterile Cleanroom Management
- Sterile Cleanroom Management Tech Brief
- Rites of Passage for Sterile Wipers
At Berkshire, we’re always happy to answer your questions regarding your cleanroom contamination needs, so feel free to reach out to our trained specialists for more information.
We hope you’ll join us next week for our final article of this 8-part series. We’ll close it out by discussing cleaning verification in the cleanroom and look at a few employable methods to verify your cleanroom is indeed clean.

Ross Chastain was fastest in the only Xfinity Series practice session of the weekend Friday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Chastain covered the 1.5-mile oval with a speed of 176.881 mph, best of the 33 cars that took to the track.
Chastain is entered in all three races this weekend: he competed in Friday night’s Truck race, will be in Saturday’s Xfinity race and will replace the injured Ryan Newman in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 NASCAR Cup race.
There was one incident of note in the 81-minute and only Xfinity practice session of the weekend.
Myatt Snider got loose about 35 minutes into the session. While he stayed off the wall, he tore up a good chunk of infield grass, causing significant body and suspension damage.
Snider took his car to the garage and moved into his back-up ride.
Saturday will see Xfinity qualifying early in the afternoon, followed a few hours later by the Boyd Gaming 300 race.

We couldn’t build a wall around you to block out background noise, so we did the next best thing: created a “focus zone” with the new Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC w/stand headset. All you hear is your call with three levels of hybrid active noise canceling (ANC). All they hear is you with our pro-grade microphones using Poly Acoustic Fence technology.
And while you’re thinking about your call, it’s thinking for you, alerting you so you never again have to say, “Oops, I forgot I’m on mute.” Heck, just put on the headset and it automatically answers the call for you. It’s all the Poly next -level engineering you expect with the wear-it -all-day comfort you need.
3 LEVELS OF HYBRID ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLATION: Experience acoustic excellence others can’t touch. Loud and distracting background is just gone with 3-levels of advanced digital hybrid ANC. With this headset, you’re ready to have the most critical conversations with confidence.
According to a recent survey in 2020*, 94% of workers experience some form of ambient noise during calls. This is an increase from 71% of workers in 2017. Noise not only impacts a user’s ability to concentrate and focus on the task at hand, but without a good quality noise-canceling microphone it also impacts other participants on conference calls.
Poly’s headsets are used in the most demanding environments where clear audio is critical, such as emergency dispatch and command and control applications.
When considering noise canceling headsets it’s important to note that different technology is used to reduce noise for the headset wearer and hence acts on the receive side (typically this is active noise canceling) compared to noise canceling for the far end, which acts on the microphone (transmitting) side.
*Persona Research October 2020 Factworks
The simplest form of receive noise reduction comes from the fact any stereo headset provides a physical barrier to the ear canals and hence reduces the level of audio that can be heard.
The amount of noise reduction will depend on may factors for example a headset, such as the Voyager 8200 UC, or Voyager Focus 2 UC Headset (w/stand) that covers the ear completely provides better noise reduction compared to one that sits on the ear. Leatherette ear cushions provide a greater acoustic seal to the ear and will provide better noise reduction compared to foam ear cushions.
Headsets with earbuds that sit inside the ear, such as the Voyager 6200 UC , provide a greater isolation from external sounds. An advantage of the Voyager 6200 UC headset is that it can still be used with one ear bud removed allowing users to still hear what’s going on around them.
For greater noise reduction passive noise isolation can be combined with active noise cancellation. Poly offers one of the largest range of Active Noise Canceling headsets in the market.
There are three types of ANC:
To ensure that background noise is not picked up by the headset microphone, which could interrupt the call, many Poly headsets include noise canceling microphone booms. These booms include a special directional microphone that picks up sound in a specific pattern that is focused towards the user’s mouth.
Sounds that come from all directions, such as background noise, are picked up with less amplitude and therefore are heard by the far end at a reduced level.
To provide the best noise reduction the optimum position for a noise canceling microphone boom is directly in front of the user’s mouth. Since this can be distracting to the user, as its in their eye-line, a compromise is made so that the microphone boom is typically located at the corner of the mouth.
The microphone booms can be bent so that the microphone is in the correct position. For the Poly EncorePro 700 Series an extendable microphone boom is used to provide the best placement.
Using proprietary Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Poly can further reduce any transmit noise. The Poly Savi 8200 Series use a noise canceling microphone boom plus a feature called close conversation limiting, which is designed to reduce the level of nearby conversations. The actual level of noise reduction can be configured via Poly software.
The Voyager 5200 UC, designed as an on-the-go product, includes a discrete microphone boom that is great for indoor or outdoor use. Windsmart® technology and a unique DSP is used to reduce disruptive wind noise for outdoor use.
For products without a microphone boom such as the Voyager 6200 UC and Voyager 8200 UC, four microphones are used along with beam-forming technology to focus on the user’s voice while minimizing background noise.
Transmit noise reduction can be enhanced when additional, physically separated microphones are added, such as those on Poly headsets with Acoustic Fence technology.
Poly’s Acoustic Fence technology, as found in the Blackwire 8225, uses a long noise canceling microphone boom with an additional microphone located on the ear cup. This additional microphone picks up the background noise and using DSP this noise is minimized from the user’s voice.
The Voyager Focus 2 provides even greater transmit noise reduction despite its shorter microphone boom.
In this implementation Poly’s Acoustic Fence technology uses four microphones in total, two microphones on the boom and one on each ear cup, to create a virtual pick up bubble focused at the front of the user’s mouth. Anything outside of this bubble (typically noise) is ignored.
THEY’LL HEAR WHAT THEY’RE MEANT TO HEAR: It’s you – loud and clear. That’s all callers hear. The discreet microphone boom on the Voyager Focus 2 is not only ultra-noise canceling but, with its multiple microphone Acoustic Fence technology, literally creates a virtual noise-free bubble in front of your mouth.
It’s so good it even meets the Microsoft Teams Open Office premium microphone requirements. The focus stays on you, right where it belongs.
COMFORT THAT’S EASY ON THE EARS AND EASY ON YOUR HEAD: Stay engaged during a full day of calls wearing an ultra-comfortable headband with super cushioned sling and plush ear cushions. The Voyager Focus 2 is designed with you in mind – stay focused and productive all day.
STAY CONNECTED AND POWERED UP ALL DAY: With up to 19 hours of talk time it lasts all day. If you need more just plug it in and use as a corded headset.
Voyager Focus 2 UC: Connect to a computer with the included new BT700 USB adapter for improved wireless range. Or connect to your mobile via Bluetooth v5.1.
All Poly USB headsets and personal speakerphones are compatible with the most popular voice platforms – we just work. Poly solutions provide excellent audio quality for both you and those on the other end of the call – no matter your platform of choice.
*Requires Poly Lens Desktop App to enable SoundGuard DIGITAL features.
Keep nearby conversations private with a noise-canceling microphone enhanced with Poly Acoustic Fence technology that meets Microsoft Teams Open Office premium microphone specification. (IT Spec)

(verified owner) – June 24, 2021
I’ve been using this headset for 3 weeks now. The range is liberating- not only can I be anywhere in my house, I can also go out in the yard and stay connected to my MS Teams session. The noise cancelling is helpful. The killer feature for those of us working at home with families is the microphone is very closely tuned to you. I apologized for my barking dogs 6 feet away on a call and was amazed when my colleagues said THEY DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING!! That alone made the purchase worth it for me. It is pretty comfortable and works seamlessly on both my Teams/PC and mobile.

A new study from the Rand Corporation links the introduction of abuse-resistant Oxycontin in 2010 to the rise in heroin overdose deaths, Bolivia and Colombia take different approaches to coca, a Georgian political party office gets raided, and more.
[image:1 align:right caption:true]Marijuana Policy
New Mexico Legalization Bill Filed. State Rep. Bill McCamley (D-Las Cruces) has filed House Bill 89, the Cannabis Revenue and Freedom Act. It would allow the possession of up to two ounces by adults at home and one ounce outside the household, the cultivation of up to six plants (or 12 per household) and the possession of a harvest up to eight ounces. The measure would revamp the state's existing medical marijuana system and allow for marijuana sales beginning in 2019.
Georgia House Forms Medical Marijuana Study Committee. House Speaker David Ralson (R-Blue Ridge) announced Wednesday that a medical marijuana study committee had been formed with Rep. Allen Peake (R-Macon) as its chair. Peake is the author of the state's current limited medical marijuana law and has already announced plans for legislation this year.
Heroin and Prescription Opioids
RAND: Introduction of Abuse-Deterrent Oxycontin Led to Rise in Heroin Overdose Deaths. In a new working paper released this week, the RAND Corporation looked at supply-side attempts to limit access to opioids and found unintended consequences. Focusing on the 2010 introduction of abuse-resistant Oxycontin, the RAND analysts found "large differential increases in heroin deaths immediately after reformulation in states with the highest initial rates of OxyContin misuse" and concluded that "a substantial share of the dramatic increase in heroin deaths since 2010 can be attributed to the reformulation of OxyContin."
North Dakota Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Bill Filed. Eight state legislators jointly filed House Bill 1170 last week. The bill would prohibit the seizure of property without a criminal conviction in most cases. The measure would also require that most proceeds from forfeitures go into the state's general fund; currently, law enforcement agencies can keep up to 100% of the proceeds. The bill would also ban passing busts off to the feds in a bid to evade state restrictions.
Bolivia Government Files Bill to Expand Coca Production. The bill would expand legal coca production from 30,000 acres to 50,000 acres. But not all coca growers are happy because some regions are getting more expansion than others.
Colombia Starts Spraying Glyphosate on Coca Crops Again. Colombia recommenced the controversial program on January 2, but this time, it's not using airplanes. Instead, the spraying is being conducted by hand. The aerial spraying campaign had been ended in 2015 over health and environmental concerns, but faced with an increasing amount of coca under cultivation, the government is now resorting once more to the herbicide.
Republic of Georgia Police Raid Party Office, Seize Pot Plants. Georgian police raided the office of the Girchi Party Wednesday, seizing 84 marijuana seedlings that had been planted New Year's Day in a bid to gain publicity for drug decriminalization. Police had threatened party activists with up to 12 years in prison for drug cultivation, but so far have only seized the plants. "This is the price of the action, that something like this would have consequences. Let's see what level this absurdity will reach. I worry about the plants. I am not sure if they will take proper care on them," Iago Khvichia, a member of the party's political council said.
Chronicle AM: Asset Forfeiture Actions in Three States, Trump Kratom Petition Needs Signatures, More... (1/5/17)
It's going to cost big bucks to get into the Arkansas medical marijuana growing business, a petition urging Donald Trump not to let the DEA ban kratom seeks signatures, there is asset forfeiture action in three states, and more.
[image:1 align:right caption:true]Medical Marijuana
Arkansas Sets Grower License Fee at $100,000. People who want one of the five commercial medical marijuana cultivation licenses the state is preparing to issue better have deep pockets. The Medical Marijuana Commission has set an annual fee of $100,000 for those licenses. But wait, there's more: That's in addition to a $15,000 application fee, only half of which will be refunded if the application is rejected. And applicants must show proof they have a million dollars in assets or surety bond and $500,000 in cash. One commission member argued for a lower, $15,000 license fee, saying he didn't want some residents to be shut out of the opportunity, but that move didn't fly.
Less Than Three Weeks Remain to Sign Trump Kratom Petition. The American Kratom Association has organized a petition urging President-elect Donald Trump to halt the DEA's effort to criminalize kratom or to reverse any last-minute ban that might occur under the Obama administration. The group has set a target of 25,000 signatures before January 22, but only has 8,000 so far.
Heroin and Prescription Opioids
Ohio Governor Signs Naloxone Expansion Bill. Gov. John Kasich (R) has signed into law Senate Bill 319, which expands access to the anti-overdose drug naloxone to entities such as homeless shelters, halfway houses, schools, and treatment centers that deal with populations at higher risk of overdose. It also offers civil immunity to law enforcement officers who carry and use naloxone.
Kansas Bill Would Undo Police Asset Forfeiture Reporting Requirements. The first bill introduced in the 2017 legislative session, Senate Bill 1, would repeal a state law requiring law enforcement agencies to file annual reports on the money and other assets they seize. The bill is the creation of the Legislative Committee on Post Audit, which filed a report last summer noting that few police agencies comply with the reporting requirements, so the committee's solution was to kill the requirement. The bill is not yet available on the legislative website. The session starts next week.
Michigan Bill Would Reform Civil Asset Forfeiture. State Rep. Peter Lucido (R-Macomb County) has introduced House Bill 4629, which would reform the state's forfeiture laws by killing a provision that requires property owners whose property is seized to pay 10% of what police feel it is worth within 20 days to get the property back. Lucido said that the next step is getting rid of civil asset forfeiture. The bill is not yet available on the legislative website.
Ohio Governor Signs Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Bill. Gov. John Kasich (R) has signed into House Bill 347, which limits civil asset forfeiture proceedings to cases involving at least $15,000 in cash and requires a criminal conviction or at least a criminal charge be filed in most cases before forfeiture proceedings can begin.
Massachusetts marijuana shops get delayed by six months, Nevada personal legalization goes into effect next week, the national prison population continues a slow decline, and more.
[image:1 align:left caption:true]Marijuana Policy
Amid Protests, MA Governor Signs Law Pushing Back Legalization Implementation. Gov. Charlie Baker (R) Friday signed into law a bill delaying the opening of retail marijuana shops for six months, from January 2018 to July 2018. He did so as demonstrators gathered at the capitol to protest the measure, which was hot-rodded through the legislature by a mere handful of solons on Wednesday. The delay "not only flies in the face of the will of the voters who voted for the January 2018 deadline, it shows contempt for the legislature itself, having been passed, not after three readings to the full House and Senate, but in the course of less than an hour by just two senators and five representatives," said the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition, which organized the protest.
Nevada Legalization Goes Into Effect Next Week. Voters approved the Question 2 marijuana legalization initiative in November and will begin to enjoy the fruits of their victory on January 1, when the new law goes into effect. It will allow people 21 and over to possess up to an ounce of weed or an eighth-ounce of cannabis concentrates. But retail sales won't go into effect until the state sets up a regulatory structure. The state has until January 2018 to get it done.
Vote Hemp Issues Year-End Report: Four More Hemp States. The industry lobbying and educational group points to hemp victories in Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island this year, as well as hemp-related bills passing in some other states that have already approved industrial hemp production. In all, hemp bills were introduced in 29 states in 2016.
Nation's Prison Population Now at 13-Year Low. Driven largely by a drop in the federal prison population, the country's overall prison and jail population dropped 2% in 2015, pushing it down to levels not seen in more than a decade, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported Thursday. The decline continues a downward trend that began in 2009. A 7% decline in federal prisoners accounting for 40% of the overall decrease, but states including California and Texas also saw significant prisoner population reductions.
Activist and Author Tony Papa Wins a Pardon. The Drug Policy Alliance's Tony Papa was granted a pardon by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Friday. Papa served 12 years of a 15-to-life sentence for drug trafficking before he was granted clemencyby then Gov. George Pataki (R) in 1997. Since then, he has authored two books, pursued a career as an artist, and been a devoted drug reform activist.
Poll: British Columbia Voters Ready to Legalize Hard Drugs to Fight Opioid Crisis. A new survey of provincial attitudes toward drugs and addiction finds that nearly two-thirds of residents are open to considering hard drug legalization in the context of the province's ongoing opioid crisis. Some 63% said they were either completely willing to consider legalization or open to considering it with more information, while only 20% flat-out rejected it. Another 17% said they were not willing now, but might change their minds with new information.
As 2016 comes to a tumultuous end, we look back on the year in drugs and drug policy. It's definitely a mixed bag, with some major victories for drug reform, especially marijuana legalization, but also some major challenges, especially around heroin and prescription opioids, and the threat of things taking a turn for the worse next year. Here are the ten biggest domestic drug policy stories of the year. (Check back for a top ten international drug policy stories soon.)
[image:1 align:left]1. Marijuana Legalization Wins Big
Legalization initiatives won in California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada, losing only in Arizona. These weren't the first states to do so -- Colorado and Washington led the way in 2012, with Alaska, Oregon, and Washington, DC, following in 2014 -- but in one fell swoop, states with a combined population of nearly 50 million people just freed the weed. Add in the earlier states, and we're now talking about around 67 million people, or more than one-fifth of the national population.
The question is where does marijuana win next? We won't see state legalization initiatives until 2018, (and conventional wisdom may suggest waiting for the higher-turnout 2020 presidential election year), and most of the low-hanging fruit in terms of initiative states has been harvested, but activists in Michigan came this close to qualifying for the ballot this year and are raring to go again. In the meantime, there are the state legislatures. When AlterNet looked into the crystal ball a few weeks ago, the best bets looked like Connecticut, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
2. Medical Marijuana Wins Big
Medical marijuana is even more popular than legal marijuana, and it went four-for-four at the ballot box in November, adding Arkansas, Florida, Montana, North Dakota to the list of full-blown medical marijuana states. That makes 28 states -- more than half the country -- that allow for medical marijuana, along with another dozen or so red states that have passed limited CBD-only medical marijuana laws as a sop to public opinion.
It's worth noting that Montana is a special case. Voters there approved medical marijuana in 2004, only to see a Republican-dominated state legislature gut the program in 2011. The initiative approved by voters this year reinstates that program, and shuttered dispensaries are now set to reopen.
The increasing acceptance of medical marijuana is going to make it that much harder for the DEA or the Trump administration to balk at reclassifying marijuana away from Schedule I, which is supposedly reserved for dangerous substances with no medical uses. It may also, along with the growing number of legal pot states, provide the necessary impetus to changing federal banking laws to allow pot businesses to behave like normal businesses.
[image:2 align:right caption:true]3. The Republicans Take Control in Washington
The Trump victory and Republican control of both houses of Congress has profound drug policy implications, for everything from legal marijuana to funding for needle exchange programs to sentencing policy to the border and foreign policy and beyond. Early Trump cabinet picks, such as Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions (R) to lead the Justice Department, are ominous for progressive drug reform, but as with many other policy spheres, what Trump will actually do is a big unknown. It's probably safe to say that any harm reduction programs requiring federal funding or approval are in danger, that any further sentencing reforms are going to be in for a tough slog, and that any federal spending for mental health and substance abuse treatment will face an uphill battle. But the cops will probably get more money.
The really big question mark is around marijuana policy. Trump has signaled he's okay with letting the states experiment, but Sen. Sessions is one of the most retrograde of drug warriors in Washington. Time will tell, but in the meantime, the marijuana industry is on tenterhooks and respect for the will of voters in pot legal states and even medical marijuana states is an open question.
4. The Opioid Epidemic Continues
Just as this year comes to an end, the CDC announced that opioid overdose deaths last year had topped 33,000, and with 12,000 heroin overdoses, junk had overtaken gunplay as a cause of death. There's little sign that things have gotten any better this year.
The crisis has provoked numerous responses, at both the state and the federal levels, some good, but some not. Just this month, Congress approved a billion dollars in opioid treatment and prevention programs, and the overdose epidemic has prompted the loosening of access to the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone and prodded ongoing efforts to embrace more harm reduction approaches, such as supervised injection sites.
On the other hand, prosecutors in states across the country have taken to charging the people who sell opioids (prescription or otherwise) to people who overdose and die with murder, more intrusive and privacy-invading prescription monitoring programs have been established, and the tightening of the screws on opioid prescriptions is leaving some chronic pain sufferers in the lurch and leading others to seek out opioids on the black market.
5. Obama Commutes More Than a Thousand Drug War Sentences
In a bid to undo some of the most egregious excesses of the drug war, President Obama has now cut the sentences of and freed more than a thousand people sentenced under the harsh laws of the 1980s, particularly the racially-biased crack cocaine laws, who have already served more time than they would have if sentenced under current laws passed during the Obama administration. He has commuted more sentences in a single year than any president in history, and he has commuted more sentences than the last 11 presidents combined.
The commutations come under a program announced by then-Attorney General Eric Holder, who encouraged drug war prisoners to apply for them. The bad news is that the clock is likely to run out before Obama has a chance to deal with thousands of pending applications backlogged in the Office of the Pardons Attorney. The good news is that he still has six weeks to issue more commutations and free more drug war prisoners.
6. The DEA Gets a Wake-Up Call When It Tries to Ban Kratom
Derived from a Southeast Asian tree, kratom has become popular as an unregulated alternative to opioids for relaxation and pain relief, not to mention withdrawing from opioids. It has very low overdose potential compared to other opioids and has become a go-to drug for hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of people.
Perturbed by its rising popularity, the DEA moved in late summer to use its emergency scheduling powers to ban kratom, but was hit with an unprecedented buzz saw of opposition from kratom users, scientists, researchers, and even Republican senators like Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who authored and encouraged his colleagues to sign a letter to the DEA asking the agency to postpone its planned scheduling.
The DEA backed off -- but didn't back down -- in October, announcing that it was shelving its ban plan for now and instead opening a period of public comment. That period ended on December 1, but before it did, the agency was inundated with submissions from people opposing the ban. Now, the DEA will factor in that input, as well as formal input from the Food and Drug Administration before making its decision.
The battle around kratom isn't over, and the DEA could still ban it in the end, but the whole episode demonstrates how much the ground has shifted under the agency. DEA doesn't just get its way anymore.
7. Federal Funds for Needle Exchanges Flow Again
It actually happened late in 2015, but the impact was felt this year. In December 2015, Congress approved an omnibus budget bill that removed the ban on federal funding of needle exchanges. The ban had been in place for 20 years, except for a two-year stretch between 2009 and 2011, when Democrats controlled the House.
Federal funding for needle exchanges is another drug policy response that could be endangered by Republican control of both the Congress and the presidency.
[image:3 align:left caption:true]8. The Slow Turn Towards Safe Injection Sites Accelerates
When will the US join the ranks of nations that embrace the harm reduction tactic of supervised drug consumption sites? Maybe sooner than you think. Moves are underway in at least three major US cities to get such facilities open, a need made all the more urgent by the nation's ongoing opioid crisis, as the Drug Policy Alliance noted in a December report calling for a number of interventions, including safe injection sites, to address it.
In New York City, the city council has approved a $100,000 study into the feasibility of safe injection sites, while in San Francisco, city public health officials have endorsed a call for them there and have even suggested they need as many as a half dozen. But San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee opposes them, so battle lines are being drawn.
The best bet may be Seattle, where city and surrounding King County officials are on board with a plan to open safe injection sites to fight heroin and prescription opioid abuse. That plan, conceived by the Heroin and Prescription Opiate Addiction Task Force, was released in September.
9. Asset Forfeiture Reform Advances
Nearly 20 years after Congress passed limited federal civil asset forfeiture reform, the practice is now under sustained assault in the states. More than a half-dozen states had passed civil asset forfeiture reforms before the year began, and this year the following states came on board (although some of the new laws did not end, but only modified or restricted civil asset forfeiture): California, Florida, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Wyoming.
And next year looks to be more of the same. Bills have already been filed in Missouri and Texas, and renewed efforts are likely in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, where they were thwarted this year.
10. The DEA is Busting Fewer People
The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) reported in December that convictions for drug cases referred by the DEA continued a 10-year decline. During Fiscal Year 2016, federal prosecutors won 9,553 criminal convictions on cases referred by the DEA. That's down 7.1% from the previous year, down 25% from five years ago, and down 35% from 10 years ago. TRAC notes that the decline in convictions is the result of fewer referrals by the DEA, not a lowered conviction rate, which has held steady.

Get Ready to Be Ejecta-ed
With their first album release, electro-pop duo Ejecta are telling the world they’re ready to show off their chops. With a bold and totally not-safe-for-work album cover depicting singer and Neon Indian member Leanne Macomber nude,Dominae is surely going to make a splash. The duo’s second half, Joel Ford of Ford & Lopatin, is sadly not depicted in his birthday suit, but he helps to create an album definitely worth taking a listen to.
Simply put, the album is fantastic. In more complicated terms, Ejecta provide some solid pop that makes you bob your head and tap your foot and dance around your apartment in your underwear when the roommates are gone. Some of the synth borders on resembling cheesy adventure film scores from the ’80s, but that’s never a turn-off. Combined with some well-timed “clap, clap, claps” and Macomber’s voice, which sounds as if it were a cross between Debbie Harry and Florence Welch, no track on the album does any real wrongs. Dominae is bookended with two great tracks—”Mistress” and “Temptress.” “Mistress” is upbeat and gets you excited for what’s to come. “Temptress” is the same, ending the album on a high (musical) note. Both include some righteous claps and drunken karaoke lyrics for a post-break-up girls night out… or a dude’s night out (we all have feelings). Another must-listen is the heartbreaking “Eleanor Lye,” that further proves that if your name is Elenore you’re pretty much destined to have a depressing, poignant song written for you at some point (Listen to The Turtles’ song if you haven’t already).
Dominae is a fantastic debut for Ejecta and a must-own record for everyone’s collections. The album is easily accessible and creates a fun atmosphere for the listener. With Christmas just around the corner, what could be a better stocking stuffer for the music lover in your life (even if you’re the only one)?

Table of Contents
What is the background of a project?
The antecedents of a project, also known as antecedents of the investigation or antecedents of a problem, are all the works previously carried out on the subject to be investigated and that provide relevant information for our work.
The antecedents serve to know the points of view of different authors, their methodologies and results. They help us to know what aspects have been addressed, which ones remain to be explored, and to define the direction of the project.
Structurally, they present the references of the reviewed works and a summary of the content, which presents the information in a synthesized way to facilitate the reader’s work.
Types of background of a project
- The theoretical background is all the written material published on the subject, publications and bibliographic sources in various formats such as monographs, essays, graduate work, thesis, scientific journals and books. Also digital resources present in catalogs, repositories and university libraries.
- The field antecedents are the studies based on experimental tests, such as questionnaires or exams, carried out to gather real data about the individuals or about the environment under investigation.
How to do the background of a project?
In this first phase, the available information related to the problem that we are going to treat is collected. We must resort to publications from archives such as university libraries or research centers to have reliable sources.
2. Review of the bibliography
We must review the bibliography that has been compiled and select the publications that are relevant to our thesis. We must link the results of the antecedents with our project and highlight the positions of greatest interest.
3. Organization of information
The order of the works must be chronological, from the oldest to the most recent, to know the progression of the study and the situation in which it is currently. We must follow a common thread that provides coherence and facilitates the organization of information.
It begins by writing an introduction to present the works and explain the reasons why they have been selected. Each review should first identify the author, indicate the year and job title, analyze the procedures used, and instruments if applicable. Finally, the results are presented as a conclusion.
Examples of a project background
Topic: The fulfillment of the obligations at a distance at home.
In this research we are going to review the effects that the performance of remote obligations caused at home during the pandemic. We will analyze the period from March to December 2020, in which the confinement and the health crisis took place, in two specific countries: Spain and Mexico.
The confinement experienced in Spain and Mexico during 2020 has led to the implementation of new work and study methods that require solutions at the domestic level.
Saldívar-Garduño, A., Ramírez-Gómez, KE (2020) in his work Mental health, gender and remote teaching during confinement by COVID-19 in Mexico, examines the adaptation of the Mexican population to remote work and online teaching . It shows the lack of means to develop professional activities at home and the deterioration in mental health in individuals due to stress and uncertainty in this situation.
On the other hand, Valera, A., Fraguela-Vale, R., López-Gómez, S. (2021) in their study Game and school tasks: school and family in Covid-19, makes a questionnaire to parents and Spanish mothers with school-age children. A survey on the educational burden of parents after the closure of schools to measure the time spent playing and the time spent on homework. An increase of 62.86% in the consumption of screen games and the time spent on school work is observed by 51.93% compared to before the pandemic.
In conclusion, the increase in the use of technology requires electronic devices that allow the development of daily obligations. Negative emotional responses have been observed in disadvantaged households due to the stress generated by the lack of knowledge and financial resources.

This book of essays, written in honour of Professor David Trubek, explores many of the themes which he has himself written about, most notably the emergence of a global critical discourse on law and its application to global governance. As law becomes ever more implicated in global governance and as processes related to and driven by globalisation transform legal systems at all levels, it is important that critical traditions in law adapt to the changing legal order and problAcmatique. The book brings together critical scholars from the EU, and North and South America to explore the forms of law that are emerging in the global governance context, the processes and legal roles that have developed, and the critical discourses that have been formed. By looking at critical appraisals of law at the global, regional and national level, the links among them, and the normative implications of critical discourses, the book aims to show the complexity of law in today's world and demonstrate the value of critical legal thought for our understanding of issues of contemporary governance and regulation. Scholars from many countries contribute critical studies of global and regional institutions, explore the governance of labour and development policy in depth, and discuss the changing role of lawyers in global regulatory space.The visible interpenetration of global political and economic life has changed the context for international scholarly ... They are not economic questionsaif by that we mean questions to be answered by the operations of markets, guided by the hand of robust competition in the shadow of regulation. ... This essay summarises and extends a series of studies I have undertaken in the fields of international law , ... The article was published in (2013) 26 Leiden Journal of International Law.

"I came away from that experience with the unshakable belief that if you put your emphasis on the vineyard, what follows is much easier," he says. "The vineyard is everything."
Most of Phinney’s time is spent exploring vineyard sites, meeting with growers and selecting the fruit that will be vinified and blended into The Prisoner. His method for vineyard selection includes assessing the site, soil, varietal, grower and provenance, or the history, of the vineyard.
"Sometimes one of these aspects is enough, other times it's a combination of a few of these elements," he says. "With provenance, looks can be deceiving, so you have to trust in the track record of a vineyard as opposed to what you see. Occasionally you step into a vineyard and can't get to your phone fast enough to call the grower and lock up the grapes. Those experiences are one of a kind." View all The Prisoner Wine Company Wines
About Other California
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Hi All....I could really use some help on this. I have been asked to help figure out the wiring on some older Siemens 90 & 80 watt Panels, two of each. The wiring apparently has been rearranged by the owner (older gentlemen) and now he does not know how the wiring went. Apparently these panels also have diodes attached, I have never worked with diodes before, and don't have clue as to placement. I have been told there are two terminal blocks, a 6 volt and 12 volt. He would like the end result to be a series/parallel design. This system is in a remote area, travell will be very difficult soon (tomorrow), due to spring thaw. A terminal block I know has 6 wire placements, first three are negative, next three positive, but how would you connect a pair of diodes and what would be the direction of the current flow? I know I have not explained very well, but if someone had a installation diagram it would sure help.

text: Webern Passacaglia for Orchestra Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 1 Brahms Symphony No. 1 DANIELE RUSTIONI CONDUCTOR SERGEY KHACHATRYAN VIOLIN Heroic struggle is the order of the day for this concert. Brahms’s struggle to overcome his intimidation at tackling symphonic writing may have taken almost fifteen years, but it was worth the wait as he took Beethoven’s compositional legacy and turned it into something spectacularly his own – the heartfelt drama plays out throughout his First Symphony and comes to a triumphant close. Shostakovich’s own battle to maintain artistic integrity in the face of State persecution often worked its way into his music and his First Violin Concerto is an angular, emotionally intense work that strives to find a mood of optimism and hope amidst the darkness.

Summer’s almost here, and with it—a new book by Chevy Chase native Jennifer Miller.
The Year of the Gadfly is “a fun, literary prep school novel, with a mystery driven forward by a high school journalist whose only friend is the ghost of Edward R. Murrow,” Miller explained.
The journalist, young Iris Dupont, is a teen-age reporter who communes with Murrow’s ghost. A second main character, Jonah Kaplan, is a failed microbiologist-turned biology teacher who is haunted by the ghosts of his past.
“Each embarks on a private investigation to uncover a secret society in their remote New England town,” Miller explained on her website.
"As Iris and Jonah's paths start to intersect, they are drawn into the darker corners of their town, their school, and their own minds.”
For a fun preview of The Year of the Gadfly, watch Miller’s trailer, in which journalists and writers such as Andrea Mitchell, Sam Donaldson, Marvin Kalb (also of Chevy Chase), Christiane Amanpour and Gary Shteyngart, as well as high school journalists—including Walter Johnson High School news reporter Danielle Markowitz—read from the book.
Patch recently interviewed Miller, who grew up in Chevy Chase and now lives in Brooklyn, about her book:
How did you choose the plot of The Year of the Gadfly?
The plot is based loosely on my brother's time at The Landon School in Bethesda, where his role in exposing a cheating scandal led to his being ostracized by members of the community. My brother then began writing about this experience in the school newspaper and calling the community to stand by its honor code.
How and when did you discover your talent for writing, or your desire to write?
I grew up around journalists. My father worked at the [U.S.] State Department for six secretaries of state on Middle East negotiations and often traveled with the press corps. But I've always loved good stories. I was an avid reader as a kid—I went to the Cheshire Cat, which has since been incorporated into Politics and Prose—almost every week.
Are any of the characters in your new book based on real people?
There is a microbiologist in the book who is loosely based on my brother. There is also a brilliant and troubled teen-age boy who is partly based on my high school boyfriend, Ben Cooper, who was killed in a car accident the summer before our senior year. The Year of the Gadfly is in many ways a tribute to Ben's life.
Do you often do your work in coffee shops?
I often have an easier time getting motivated to write when I'm around other people writing and studying. I started hanging out at Politics and Prose in high school and it quickly became my home away from home. Even though I live in Brooklyn, I'll often travel back to DC for a few days of writing and hanging out at the bookstore and Modern Times Coffeehouse. I love their iced coffee and tuna sandwiches, but the tuna sells out, so you have to get there early!
To purchase Miller’s book, visit Politics and Prose (5015 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC), where Miller will read from the book on Monday, May 14, at 7 p.m. Or, purchase the book on Amazon.com.
