A Brief Herstory of the Melbourne ASF
What is now the Melbourne Local of the ASF grew out of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Group of Melbourne, which was was formed in January 1997 after a blossoming of interest in anarcho-syndicalism amongst Melbourne anarchists and workers. It attracted the attention of others and began to grow in the next few months. In April, the ASG-M was constituted and secretarial and treasurer duties delegated to group members for six month terms.
In its short time in existence, the ASG-M undertook a number of activities, relative to its numerical strength and resources. Primarily, these were focused on self-education and promotion of anarcho-syndicalist aims and principles. The ASG-M held monthly public meetings on such topics as “Feminism compared to Anarcho-Syndicalism”, “Sexual Politics and Anarcho-Syndicalism” and “What is Anarcho-Syndicalism?”. It published classics of anarcho-syndicalist literature such as Rudolf Rocker’s “Anarchism and Anarcho-Syndicalism”, a phamphlet called “Anarchism In Australia Today”, and produced stickers, posters and leaflets of various kinds, which were distributed around Melbourne and surrounding areas.
In 1998 the ASG-M organised a protest action against the Chilean embassy in Melbourne, in solidarity with Solidaridad Obrera, the Chilean section of the International Worker’s Association (IWA), who at the time were fighting with the native Mapuche people to defend their land from planned “development”. During the now-infamous Waterfront Dispute the ASG-M showed solidarity with the waterfront workers and rank and file of the MUA picketing on the East Swanston docks. The ASG-M was also involved in actions against the new automated ticket machines brought in on all public transport at the expense of people’s jobs that provided a social service. The ASG-M showed solidarity and organised with the tram conductors to take direct action to try to save their jobs that would be lost to the new ticketing machines.
Some of the energy of the ASG-M was also taken up by its efforts to resolve the problems surrounding the situation between the Syndey and Melbourne groups of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation (ASF) at the 1992 congress. The Sydney (Rebel Worker) Group was expelled due to a breach of statues, but continued to call itself the ASF-IWA even after the federation had disbanded. At this time, it appears that the dispute has been resolved in favour of the organisation which is now called the ASF (ie. yours truly), which, as far as the ASF is concerned, bodes well for the unhampered development of a truly liberatory union movement.
In addition to its efforts to promote the principles of worker solidarity and mutual aid, direct action and self-management, the ASG-M also attempted to overcome some of the misunderstandings of anarcho-syndicalism created by what are arguably dogmatics within the anarcho-syndicalist and revolutionary union movement; in particular, but by no means limited to, the idea that anarcho-syndicalism is singularly concerned with organisation at the point of production. Although it denied that social change is possible without this form of organisation, given that productive activity forms the basis for the existence of society and that the way it is carried out is an issue which affects everyone, it also acknowledged that community and social struggles using direct action are also an important component of social change. For that reason the ASG-M also actively opposed and challenged attitudes and behaviour that arbitarily divide workers, such as homophobia, sexism and racism.
In 2000 the ASG-M, together with the newly-formed Anarcho-Syndicalist Group of Sydney and Anarcho-Syndicalist Group of Perth, held an ASF reformation conference in Melbourne. The Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation thus reformed, the basis was laid for reentry to the International Workers Association (the international of anarcho-syndicalist and revolutionary unions). Although those involved in this process were occasionally criticised for wasting time on supposedly bureaucratic fumbling while the class war awaited, we believe that creating a functioning anarcho-syndicalist union and then resolving the problems association with the ASF split, was necessary in order to clear up the relationship of our union to the rest of the world, and in doing so to create a concrete basis for workers internationalism in this part of the world. At the end of 2000 the ASF sent a delegate to the IWA congress, where the ASF was given “Friends of the IWA” status. We expect to be affiliated as an IWA section at a plenary to be held during 2001.
Thus reconstituted, the ASF hopes to be able to continue to develop and to join up with other anarcho-syndicalist and revolutionary union groups around Australia, and looks forward to such occurrences as the first small steps towards the development of a democratic, worker-run union movement, one which relies on individual initiative, workers solidarity and direct action rather than lifeless bureaucracy, and one which is capable of bringing about a revolutionary general strike, social revolution, and the reconstitution of social life on the basis of a direct, participatory democracy and worker’s self-management of production.

Bone broth is a nutrient that contains many compounds necessary for the body. Although it is generally used to add flavor to meals, it is known as a source of healing all over the world due to the collagen, glutamine, various minerals and protein it contains.
Under the control of veterinarians, we wash and chop only the marrow bones from the bones of calves slaughtered in accordance with Islamic rules, and then cook them in temperature-controlled boilers at +95 C for 10 hours without exceeding the boiling point. The reason why we cook for a long time without exceeding the boiling temperature is to ensure that the substances in the bone and marrow pass into the bone broth without being lost. During cooking, we add carrots, onions and spices. When the cooking process is completed, we let it rest for a while and filter it and fill it into jars untouched by human hands. After closing the jars, we perform sterilization in an automatic autoclave at a temperature of 121 C under vacuum. In this way, the products have a shelf life of 1 year without usage of any additives or preservatives.

Introduction: Dealing with a cat who pees outside the litter box is one of the most frustrating issues cat parents may be faced with. While there are various reasons for this behavior, today we’ll address a less common yet equally challenging version: cats who pee standing up, or “vertical pee-ers.” Understanding this behavior and providing the right litter box can make a significant difference. Let’s explore how to help your feline companion overcome this issue.
The Difference Between Vertical Peeing and Spraying:
It’s essential to distinguish between vertical peeing and spraying. Vertical peeing refers to cats urinating inside the litter box either standing up or transitioning from squatting to standing. Spraying, however, is a territorial behavior where cats deposit small amounts of urine on vertical surfaces. This behavior is more commonly observed in unneutered male cats.
Anatomy of a Vertical Pee-er:
Understanding the unique behavior of a vertical pee-er is crucial. Some cats, like Ruby, may start by squatting but gradually raise and wiggle their rear end while urinating. For these cats, a standard litter box may not be sufficient to contain the urine. Finding an appropriate box becomes paramount to address this issue effectively.
The Search for the Perfect Litter Box:
While covered boxes are available, many cats prefer uncovered options for better visibility and air circulation. Large, high-sided, uncovered litter boxes are recommended. Options like clear plastic storage containers with modified openings can also work well, though aesthetics may be a concern for some owners.
The NVR Miss Litter Box:
The NVR Miss litter box stands out as an excellent solution for vertical pee-ers. Its spacious design, strategically positioned entrance, and high sides make it a comfortable and efficient option. The design encourages cats to align themselves lengthwise, minimizing the risk of urine going outside the box. Additionally, the smooth finish simplifies clump removal.
Conclusion: Understanding your cat’s unique litter box preferences and behaviors, especially if they are a vertical pee-er, is crucial for a harmonious living environment. Choosing an appropriate litter box, like the NVR Miss, can significantly reduce frustrations and help your feline companion comfortably use their designated space. With the right approach, you can overcome this challenging behavior and strengthen the bond with your furry friend.

On the morning of September 13, Senate Republicans released their latest attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The plan, known as Cassidy-Graham, would eliminate the ACA’s Medicaid expansion and subsidies for private insurance plan, replacing some of that spending with block grants given directly to states. Advocates for the legislation argue that this approach would give states “flexibility” to experiment with different approaches to providing health insurance. Opponents, however, point out that block grant funding would provide $239 billion less between 2020 and 2026 than projected spending under the Affordable Care Act, and criticize the lack of any provision in the bill to require the money be spent on providing assistance to lower-income individuals.
Though opposition has overwhelmingly come from the left, that “flexibility” has also been the subject of an interesting objection from some conservatives. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) announced that he was undecided on the legislation, and has submitted an amendment to prevent states like California and New York from using the money to establish a single-payer healthcare system.
Kennedy’s fear that “if you give a big chunk of money to California they're going to go set up a single-payer system run by the state” is well-founded. Efforts to create a state-level single-payer system are currently underway in several states, and the passage of Cassidy-Graham (which would cause premiums to go up and would cause millions to lose coverage) would only add fuel to the movement for single-payer. In California, the Healthy California Act passed the State Senate before being abruptly tabled by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon in June, while in New York the New York Health Act passed the State Assembly before stalling in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Cassidy-Graham would also serve to weaken a major barrier to state-level single-payer. Under current law, states have to apply for a state innovation waiver under Section 1332 of the ACA if they want to use ACA money for a state single-payer system. Most plans would also require a Medicaid demonstration waiver under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act. It is difficult to imagine Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price or Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Seema Verma approving such a waiver. By block-granting a substantial chunk of money to the states for healthcare purposes, Cassidy-Graham may allow states to bypass some (though not all) of the waiver requirements.
However, this is more of a concern for single-payer advocates than for opponents like Kennedy. A state-level single-payer system will almost certainly fail, hurting the prospects of a nationwide single-payer system in the process. While Cassidy-Graham would be a disaster, it may open up the tantalizing possibility of renewing the push for a single-payer system at a state level. Progressives must not take the bait.
Obstacles in the State Budgetary Process
The primary obstacle to single-payer at the state level is structural: states are simply not designed to address a problem like providing a system of universal healthcare. Much has been made of the cost of California’s single-payer proposal, which would require around $200 billion in annual spending, more than doubling the state budget. The real problem with California’s plan, however, has less to do with the numbers and more to do with the structural constraints state law places on California’s budget.
Though the exact funding mix varies from state to state, state revenues typically come from personal income taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes. During a recession, revenue from all three sources drops. Healthcare spending, however, does not drop during an economic downturn—unlike TVs or new cars or new clothes, it is a necessity, not something you can simply buy less often depending on the economy. As a result, states would face the challenge of attempting to maintain the same level of healthcare spending despite a decline in revenue, forcing them to either gut the rest of the state budget or abandon the single-payer experiment. Excluding Medicaid spending, the largest spending item for most states is typically K-12 education, typically followed by transportation and higher education, so cuts elsewhere in the state budget are likely to hobble other essential programs. California faces particular obstacles in this area, as The Intercept’s David Dayen explains. California’s system of citizen initiatives has created a byzantine web of laws governing the state’s ability to tax and spend, presenting an additional obstacle to fitting single-payer into a state budget. While no other state has embraced California’s brand of direct democracy, other states will also face state-specific obstacles to implementation that will only add to those barriers outlined in this article.
States are forced into this uncomfortable choice because the vast majority of states lack the authority to run deficits during recessions. Forty-nine states have some kind of balanced budget requirement that would obligate these states to raise taxes or, more likely, cut spending in times of economic hardship. (The one state that lacks the requirement is Vermont, which tried and failed to create a single-payer system in 2014.) The federal government, by contrast, has the ability (and, arguably, the obligation) to run deficits during recessions, as well as the power to print money and the power to issue debt, all of which are effectively denied to the states. The federal government also spends a significant amount of money—around $700 billion as of the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act—on defense spending. If cuts become necessary, reducing procurement of F-35 strike fighters or littoral combat ships is a far more tolerable alternative than slashing the budgets of public schools or colleges. The federal government is uniquely capable of creating and maintaining a single-payer healthcare system in a way that state governments, as a result of their budgetary restrictions, are structurally incapable of doing.
Incidentally, these balanced budget requirements are a key distinction between US and Canadian law. Many state single-payer advocates point to the example of Canada, where the progressive expansion of public healthcare coverage in the province of Saskatchewan sparked the expansion of public systems across the country, culminating in the development of a national single-payer system. What this parallel ignores, however, is that no Canadian province introduced any sort of balanced budget requirement until the 1990s. Saskatchewan could run deficits while it worked out its healthcare system, and frequently did . That option isn’t available for U.S. states, making the Canadian example a poor pattern for single-payer advocates to follow in the United States.
The Problem of Federal Payers
In addition to these budgetary restrictions, states simply lack the size to effectively implement single-payer. Americans pay higher prices than people in other countries because U.S. insurers do not have the leverage necessary to negotiate lower prices for essential services. In the United Kingdom, for instance, around 80 percent of healthcare spending is public. As a result, the government has a lot of bargaining power when it comes time to negotiate with healthcare providers and is able to effectively dictate extremely favorable terms. This effect can be seen to a lesser extent in the United States as well, where large insurers negotiate prices that are significantly lower than the prices charged to small insurers for the same services.
While a state-level single-payer would likely be able to achieve some level of cost reduction through negotiations, it would lack the negotiating power of a European-style single-payer. Around fifty-six million people are covered through Medicare, a number that is projected to rise to sixty-seven million by 2030. Subtracting those on Medicare, California’s single-payer system could represent thirty-four million people—significant, but nowhere near as large as Medicare. (Thirty-four million is likely an overestimate, as federal Medicaid money cannot be spent in a risk pool that includes non-Medicaid patients.) Given California’s population and the size of its economy, it would likely be able to achieve more substantial cost reductions that a Vermont or a Delaware, but so long as massive federal payers exist, the state payer simply won’t have the same leverage to demand cost reductions as a national single-payer.
Though there are a few potential workarounds to this problem, they come with their own issues. The most immediately apparent solution would be for several states to come together and agree to collectively bargain with insurers, effectively “creating” a new insurer larger than Medicare. This solution, however, runs into legal issues. The Compact Clause (U.S. Const. Art. I, § 10) forbids certain interstate compacts without congressional approval, which is unlikely to be forthcoming in the current Congress—and if Congress is willing to approve an interstate compact to make single-payer possible, it may as well just pass federal single-payer.
Another is attempting to bolster the state single-payer’s negotiating power by granting the state its share of federal Medicare dollars as a lump sum grant. A study by the University of Massachusetts-Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute included spending on Medicare patients in California in the funding sources for the Healthy California Act, producing some optimistic projections about the bill’s financial impact. Using Medicare dollars, however, is not a simple process. The bill would require a Medicare demonstration waiver under Sections 402/222 of the Social Security Amendments, which is unlikely to be granted by the current administration. Additionally, providers can only be required to participate in a Medicare demonstration through an act of Congress, presenting a further hurdle to the use of Medicare dollars.
The Political Cost of Failure
The problems of state-level single-payer may not be immediately fatal, but any state-based system would depend on a complex web of federal waivers, new taxes and new layers of bureaucracy. This sort of patchwork health insurance system would be unstable, vulnerable at every moment to one part of the system failing and bringing down the rest of it with it. Even the best-designed state system will carry with it a substantial risk of failure. Such a risk is unaffordable for the single-payer movement. Any sort of public debacle surrounding a single-payer system would effectively destroy the future of the movement, with the failure of single-payer in California or New York used as an excuse to avoid pursuing the policy at the federal level.
It’s important to draw a distinction between a state-level single-payer system and the organizing surrounding it. To the extent that the push for state legislation helps start discussions and build a movement, it is an unequivocally good thing. The problem is that these campaigns are playing with fire. Getting people organized is a positive, but if they succeed in passing the legislation they push for, they may jeopardize the broader goal of a national single-payer system.
The successful path to single-payer runs not through the states, but through the 2018 and 2020 elections. Single-payer advocates should focus on pressuring their representatives to sign on to the “Medicare for All” bills introduced by Rep. John Conyers and Sen. Bernie Sanders, and more broadly on making the 2018 and 2020 elections referenda on the question of single-payer healthcare. The education and mobilization work contributed by state single-payer campaigns is an important component of the grassroots organizing necessary to creating federal reforms, but the vision of single-payer advocates cannot be limited to state politics in Democratic-leaning states. The only way to create a federal single-payer system is to make every Senate and House election, from Arizona to West Virginia, revolve around the issue, culminating in the election of a president and congressional majorities capable of enacting the legislation in 2020.
If Cassidy-Graham passes, single-payer advocates must not fall into the trap of seeing the bill as an opportunity to push single-payer healthcare at the state level. Rather, they should see it for what it is—monstrous legislation that will make healthcare more expensive and less accessible—and channel that outrage to redouble their push for the ultimate goal: Medicare not just for every Californian or every New Yorker, but for all.

BRONX, N.Y. - The third seeded Saint Joseph's softball team fell to second seed Saint Louis, 6-5, at the Atlantic 10 Championship Thursday afternoon at Bahoshy Field. The Hawks will now face fifth seed Dayton tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. in an elimination game.
After two scoreless innings to start, the higher-seeded Billikens jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the third as it took advantage of a SJU fielding error with two outs.
The Hawks (21-19) answered back in the top of the fourth as they scored five times to take a 5-4 lead. Shortstop Nicole Palase led off with a bunt single and first baseman Ashley Alden followed with her team-leading fifth home run of the year to cut the deficit to two.
With runners at second and third and one out, right fielder Isabella Picard doubled to right center, allowing Morgan Earling and Traneya White to score and tie the game at 4-4. Left fielder Melissa Ruf followed, doubling home Picard to give SJU the edge.
Unfortunately for the Hawks, Saint Louis would tie the game on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the fourth and regained the lead in the fifth on a RBI single by Hailey Weavers.
Saint Joseph's would have a chance to tie it in the top of the seventh as Alden drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by catcher Hannah Dionne. Alden would move to third on a ground out, but the Billikens would strand her there with a ground out to third base to end the game.
At the plate, Ruf and second baseman Sarah Yoos were both 2-for-3, while Picard and Alden each finished with two RBI.
In the circle, Anna Lauterbach was the hard-luck loser, falling to 5-3 on the season after allowing just one earned run over 1.2 innings of work. Starter Niki Carillo allowed one earned run over 2.2 innings, with reliever Emily Rogers throwing 1.2 shutout innings.

Italy: Exploited labour: Migrant workers in Italy’s agricultural sector
The agricultural sector in Italy is heavily reliant on migrant workers. This report focuses on the violation of labour rights of migrant workers in the areas of Latina and Caserta. It documents widespread labour exploitation, including wages below minimum standards, arbitrary reductions, delays or non-payment of wages and long hours of work. Amnesty International demonstrates that Italian migration policy increases the vulnerability of migrant workers to labour exploitation and that Italian legislation offers them inadequate protection and limited access to justice.

‘The government intends, through coercive legislation, to weaken working conditions,’ said union leader Lauri Lyly.
Protesters gather at the Central Railway Station in Helsinki, Finland, Friday, Sept. 18, 2015. (Photo: Heikki Saukkomaa/Lehtikuva via AP)
Workers in Finland on Friday are said to be their biggest strike in over 20 years as they protest the government’s new austerity measures.
At least 15 domestic flights had been canceled, while ports and public transportation were shut down.
Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipilä has insisted that the measures—which include shortening annual holidays from 38 to 30 working days, halving overtime pay rate increases, cutting Sunday work bonuses, and reducing sick leave pay—are “indispensable” to getting the economy back on track.
“The government intends, through coercive legislation, to weaken working conditions,” Lauri Lyly, leader of biggest union, SAK, said in an emailed comment to Bloomberg.
Roughly 30,000 protesters gathered in the Nordic nation’s capital of Helsinki, with some carrying signs that read, “No way!”
“We all know Finland‘s economy is doing poorly,” Antti Rinne, leader of the opposition Social Democrats and a former finance minister said at the Helsinki rally. “But it is not improved by forced measures but through cooperation and agreements.”

Utawarerumono: The False Faces
Based off a visual novel for the Playstation platforms, Utawarerumono is the biggest disappointment for me this season. Sure, I dropped a few others (Comet Lucifer, Attack on Titan: Junior High, and Mr Osomatsu) due to a lack of interest, but for some reason I had higher hopes for Utawarerumono.
I think I had placed my expectations higher for mostly 2 reasons. One, I thought (based off the first couple of episodes) that the world it was set in looked interesting. It has a kind of mixing of Chinese and Japanese aesthetic in a fantasy setting which I found appealing. Two, the animation was really pretty good. Some beautiful scenes are featured, especially in the OP.
And the show keeps good animation throughout. The story however is another matter.
The pacing of the story is slow. It starts with potential and kind of fizzles out. You get an idea that something interesting may be happening in the background, but this doesn’t get fleshed out. Instead we get:
Fan service. Animal-eared and tailed girls acting pointlessly “cutesy” and multiple bathing scenes. You also have the main character ending each sentence she utters with: “I think”. It is annoying. I can forgive some fan service here and there if the story is good and going somewhere, but this just feels like it is exploiting it for it’s own sake.
Now maybe if I had watched the other associated anime or played the visual novel I would appreciate this show more, but I didn’t and I don’t.
Attention Parents: Overall the show doesn’t have a lot wrong with it, but there is nudity and some ecchi situations that may not be appropriate for younger viewers.
Go ahead and give it a try. Just because it wasn’t my thing doesn’t mean it won’t be yours.
Until next time. Happy viewing!

From USA Today:
A New Jersey school district will pay $117,500 to a student who was punished for creating a website that included critical statements about his middle school.
The settlement of the lawsuit brought nearly two years ago follows a decision by a federal judge ruling that Oceanport school administrators violated Ryan Dwyer’s free speech rights.
The settlement was announced Sunday by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.
“While my parents and I are happy the case is resolved, most importantly, I’m hopeful this will help ensure that free speech rights of students aren’t trampled on again in the future,” said Dwyer, who is now in 11th grade.


Hey there! So after going over this with our development team, I'm afraid to say that we don't officially support Windows 7 machines with our app. So unfortunately, I do not have any troubleshooting options for you other than to try and install the latest version of the desktop app from our site.
DESKTOP PC PROBLEM: WINDOWS SEVEN OPERATING SYSTEM
This is NOT about the Win 10 mobile or desktop app. It is about TextNow.exe located in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Programs\TextNow\ which was downloaded from the textnow website via this url: https://desktop-installer.textnow.com/TextNow+Setup+1.0.10.exe
I posted about this issue before but the support person wrote me off as a mobile user and didn't address my actual problem.
The problem is that on the PC, when I send or receive a call, the other person can never hear me but I can hear them just fine.
My microphone is definitely working. The drivers are installed, and when I open the sound settings and make noise, the green bars rise as I speak. This is me going "AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" at the microphone:
When I use other software to record (Virtual Dub, OBS Studio) or voice chat (Skype, Discord) the microphone works fine for those as well. The microphone is definitely picking up audio, however TextNow.exe does not seem to be receiving it or sending it to the people on the call with me, and there is no way via the programs settings to select or test the microphone.
I found it odd that other programs that use the microphone have a setting that lets you choose a recording device/input device, but TextNow.exe does not. None of the settings mention the microphone at all.
None of the other settings subheaders (Account, Password, Notifications, Messaging, and Security & Login) had microphone options. The "Account" menu only has "Logout", the "Edit" menu only has text editing options (undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, and select all), and "View" and "Help" don't have microphone options either.
So my question is this: Is it possible to make calls via Windows 7 DESKTOP with TextNow.exe, or does TextNow just hate anything Microsoft and will only work on Mac, Linux, iOS, or Droid?
Please sign in to leave a comment.
..Would it Honestly Be that hard or Difficult to get a team working on a patch or update that would solve this issue??
WE NEED FUNCTIONALITY and VERSATILITY
This NEEDS to be worked on.
There are still a great percentage of people still using Windows 7. I feel that you should have had this solved already.
At this point in time, considering we are still a small company, we have to prioritize our resources, and unfortunately, the percentage of users on Windows 7 is not large enough to efficiently allocate those resources.
I understand this may be frustrating, however, our web browser is still available for calling and texting, should you need it!
Will updating to Windows 10 help? In the other thread I was told windows 10 mobile wasn't supported and the OS's are pretty much the same.
Or does the phone bit of TextNow only work for Mac OS, iOS, and Droid?
Windows 10 is certainly supported!
What we don't support are Windows phones. However, a Windows 10 OS on a desktop should support our desktop app.

Floating tablet is one of the drug delivery system retained in the stomach which aims to prolong the lag time of the drug in the stomach. This principle can be used to improve the efficacy of famotidine in treating diseases in the stomach The purpose of this research is to develop dosage form afloat by using Chitosan Pectin Electrolytes (PEC) as matrix then used as the matrix in tablet dosage form with famotidine as a drug model. PEC also combined with, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) with different. PEC was also combined with hydroxypropilmethylcellulose (HPMC) in different concentrations. The results of the dissolution study showed that PEC could retard the release of famotidin for 10 hours. PEC in combination with HPMC could retard the release of famotidin for 20 hours. Tablet that only contains PEC as matrix could remain buoyant for 12 hours while tablet with combination of PEC and HPMC could remain buoyant for 24 hours.

Scopes’ co-leaders, bassist Tom Berkmann and drummer Mathias Ruppnig, are an indivisible rhythm section, while pianist Tony Tixier emits one upward current after another to support the flights of alto saxophonist Ben Van Gelder. When the latter bows to Tixier’s synthesizer, the effect is akin to splicing an animated scene into a live-action film. Tixier takes that eagle-eyed vision and runs with it, traversing all manner of terrain with a free and easy step. The mood is smooth, yet barbed enough to find purchase in some unexpected places.
“Aquaponies” is a calm forest through which Van Gelder’s trail of melodic breadcrumbs mark the promise of return. Ruppnig gives the scene a 3D quality it might not otherwise have, as does Berkmann on “Balance.” So much of what follows, be it the vistas of “Whistle” or the gesture of farewell that is “Mode,” is infused with a refreshing collectivity. That said, Tixier deserves credit as the band’s central nervous system. Whether priming the canvas of “Alter Ego” or threading the needle of “Nostalgia,” he brings just the right amount of color to monochromatic landscapes-—and vice versa. The result is a sound that, given some time to age, wouldn’t be out of place on ECM.
Scopes: Echo Of Their Own Prejudices; Chamberlain; Aquaponies; Balance; Whistle; Alter Ego; Lakeview; Nostalgia; Mode. (53:38)
Personnel: Ben Van Gelder: alto saxophone; Tony Tixier: piano, synthesizer; Tom Berkmann: bass; Mathias Ruppnig: drums.

In 2024, Adventures by Disney will launch their first expedition cruises in the Adriatic Sea. Expedition cruises in Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Galapagos Islands will also be available.
The two Adriatic Sea cruises will be 8-day, 7-night round-trips from Venice, Italy. They will visit ports in Croatia and Montenegro on the PONANT ship Le Bougainville, “a small, purpose-built intimate ship, specially designed to access remote locations.” Here is what guests may experience on one of these sailings:
- Discover the islands adorning the Adriatic coast with stops at Korcula to taste the famed Mali Ston oysters or Hvar to kayak along the Pakleni Islands.
- Enjoy delicious food, Croatian wine, captivating architecture and culture unique to the region.
- Bike through vineyards and lavender fields of the UNESCO Stari Grad Plain (also known as Hora or Ager).
- Taste local delicacies such as Dalmatian Prosciutto, aged by the bura, a northerly-blowing wind common in the winter months.
- Explore picturesque Boka Bay in Montenegro by catamaran or strolling the cobbled streets of Old Town Kotor.
- Wander medieval Croatian port-towns awash in warm limestone and distinctive, red-tiled roofs, and visiting the world-famous Predjama Castle in Slovenia.
- Delve into the massive underground labyrinth at Slovenia’s Postojna Cave and discovering the “dragons” that call it home.
- Step back in time to learn about time-honored Croatian traditions including methods of pressing olive oil.
Up to six Adventure Guides will accompany guests and lead activities. On board activities will include themed karaoke nights, game/trivia nights, a talent show, adults-only cocktail workshops and fitness classes, a “Pirates of the Adriatic” swim party for Junior Adventurers, and more.
Upcoming Antarctica and Patagonia expedition cruises will be December 17-28, 2023, and February 17-28, 2024. An Arctic expedition cruise will be July 1-10, 2024. Galapagos Islands expedition cruises will be on March 17-25, June 9-17, July 14-22, August 7-15, and December 18-26, 2024.
Bookings for 2024 expedition cruises will open to the public on Thursday, October 27, 2022. Early booking will be available for some travelers. Here is the schedule:
- Oct. 24, 2022 – Adventure Insiders with 3+ previous Adventures
- Oct. 25, 2022 – All Adventure Insiders
- Oct. 26, 2022 – Disney Vacation Club Members, Disney Cruise Line Gold & Platinum Castaway Members, Golden Oak Residents
- Oct. 27, 2022 – Bookings open for general public
Travelers interested in booking a 2024 expedition cruise can take advantage of Adventure by Disney’s early booking offer, with savings of $1,000 per person on select 2024 Antarctica Expedition Cruises and $750 per person on select 2024 Antarctica Expedition Cruises. Additionally, travelers on eligible 2024 Expedition Cruise departures can also save 50% per person on the nonrefundable deposit required at booking.
Guests can also extend their expedition cruise vacations in select cities through an Adventures by Disney Escape, a series of short-stay getaways that are big on adventure. Escapes often complement a trip — immediately before or following an existing itinerary — and are ideal for those wishing for a deeper dive into a region’s culture, history, and landscape. The four-day Buenos Aires Escape is a great way to discover the cosmopolitan capital of Argentina before embarking on the Antarctica Expedition Cruise. The six-day Amazon Escape takes guests on an exploration of the Amazon rainforest prior to the start of their Galapagos Islands Expedition Cruise.

I need a response to this assignment 2 references zero plagiarism Does psychotherapy have a biological basis? In a word, yes. Psychotherapy has a solid basis in biological processes. Changes in thought processes can be linked to changes in the structure or function of neural activity (Stahl, 2013). Numerous imaging and functional scanning studies demonstrate that psychotherapy changes how the brain functions, and these changes can be demonstrated on a biological level. A few of these studies are highlighted here to illustrate the point. A systematic review by Zantvoord, Diehle, & Lindauer (2013) identified 16 studies that examined brain imaging with PTSD patients receiving trauma-processing therapies including TF-CBT and EMDR. The studies reviewed showed various biological factors at play including increased activity in the mid-prefrontal cortex and decreased activity in the amygdala following TF-CBT (Zantvoord, Diehle, & Lindauer, 2013). Furthermore, Lindauer et al. (2008) showed that following TF-CBT, the neural circuitry of working memory in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex showed decreased activity. Disturbances in this brain region appears to play a part in the development and maintenance of PTSD (Lindauer et al, 2008). Too many studies demonstrate the biological basis of therapy to give a solid accounting of this evidence. Thome et al (2016) compared the use of psychotherapy versus pharmacology to help reduce anxiety in reconsolidation phases of traumatic memories. The reality that both therapy and pharmacologic agents can produce similar results demonstrates that therapy has a biological component. Even (traditionally) less structured forms of therapy such as psychodynamic therapy has been shown through brain imaging to change the structure and function of neural pathways (Abbass, Nowoweiski, Bernier, Tarzwell, & Beutel, 2014). The summation of evidence that psychotherapy can alter the chemistry, structure, and function of the brain makes it clear that psychotherapeutic interventions are an important aspect of effective treatment for mental disorders. Explain how culture, religion, and socioeconomics might influence ones perspective of the value of psychotherapy treatments. Culture, religion, and socioeconomic status are active influences in peoples lives, so these factors will inherently have influence on the choices people are willing to consider. Some cultures may believe more in therapy than in pharmacology, as may certain religious groups. Some religious groups may shun all forms of mental health intervention believing that these illnesses reflect a lack of faith or misunderstanding of how to bring life into balance. All three of these specific factors have systemic impacts that can influence a patients willingness to engage in psychotherapy, and this can limit the potential gains from therapy if the patient is hesitant to participate (Mott, Stanley, Street, Grady, & Teng, 2014). Patients understanding of treatment processes has an important impact on the willingness to engage in therapy, and health literacy is closely correlated with socioeconomic factors (Hodgkinson, Godoy, Beers, & Lewin, 2017). Because these factors are systemic in nature, they permeate the lives of the patient and the therapist alike, so accounting for these factors is among the most foundational elements of therapy. Failure to account for culture, religion, and socioeconomics is a failure by the therapist to truly see the client and understand their lived experience. While no therapist can truly understand every clients experience, recognizing the importance of these factors is a beginning step to accounting for them within the context of therapy.

From Las Vegas, we will journey through Nevada and Arizona on our way to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. Traverse the towering walls of the Virgin River Gorge, which is a true hidden gem along the route to Bryce Canyon. The natural amphitheater of Bryce Canyon features stunning rock pinnacles, called “hoodoos”, which are formed by wind and water erosion. They can reach up to 2000 feet of elevation or more and present vibrant sandstone colors that are a photographer’s dream! The stunning views are only matched by its ruggedness, which is why Ebenezer Bryce once said that Bryce Canyon is "a hell of a place to lose a cow."
During your full day tour, you will be treated to amazing panoramic views of the famous “hoodoos” and 100-mile vistas across Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument. Escalante Grand Staircase and Bryce Canyon span three distinct climate types, each with its own unique characteristics: Spruce and Fir Forests, Ponderosa Pine Forests, and Pinyon Pine and Juniper Forests. During your guided tour, you will have approximately three hours to explore Bryce Canyon National Park. Enjoy visits to multiple rim overlooks, including Inspiration Point, Sunrise Point, and Sunset Point. For a more casual experience, you will be able to take a relaxing, scenic walk among the hoodoos on one of the park's well maintained trails. It’s what to do in Las Vegas!

Q & A: Sustainable Viticulture
What is sustainable viticulture?
Sustainability is based on the premise that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, stewardship of both the natural and human environment is of prime importance. Sustainable farming systems are biologically-based and designed to be productive in both the short and the long term.
Sustainable viticulture is – ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially supportive. Because it is more a philosophical approach to viticulture than a set of farming practices, the specific practices vary depending on the specific environmental and social issues important to an appellation. Therefore, it is important that all of those interested in making viticulture more sustainable – consumers, growers, environmentalists, farm workers, winemakers, retailers – educate themselves on the related issues.
How does Vinea’s sustainable viticulture practices compare to organic and biodynamic farming practices?
Viticulture can be “sustainable” without being “organic” or “biodynamic”. Also, some organic or biodynamic operations may not be sustainable. Organic farming certifies that the grower has excluded the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals. Biodynamic farming combines the tenants of organic farming with practices that are intended to influence the metaphysical aspects of the farm (such as increasing vital life force), or to adapt the farm to natural rhythms (such as planting seeds during certain lunar phases) as well. However, approaches to management of healthy soils can be similar between the different farming systems.
Does moving towards sustainability mean a lot of changes for a grower?
Transitioning towards sustainability is a process. The amount of change for each individual grower depends upon their current farming practices. Transition normally requires a series of small, realistic steps that can easily be incorporated.
How are sustainable viticulture practices beneficial to grape quality?
Healthy soil is a key component of sustainability. A healthy soil will produce plants that have optimum vigor and are less susceptible to pests and disease. While vineyards have particular pests that attack even the healthiest of plants, proper soil, water and nutrient management can help prevent some problems brought on by plant stress or nutrient imbalance. Sustainable viticultural practices improve soil quality resulting in a more efficient use of water nutrients and pesticides to optimize grape quality.
What kind of sustainable practices apply to vineyard management?
The Vinea system describes an appellation specific, collaboratively designed sustainable vineyard system. It addresses soil, water, pest and crop management, as well as has resource protection, wine quality and quality of life for those within the industry. It is a technically based, flexible approach to educating and guiding growers towards more sustainable viticultural practices.
What is meant by “social sustainability”?
It is acknowledged that all aspects of sustainability, natural and human, in the Walla Walla Valley are interconnected. Social sustainability means that we will show concern for and sensitivity toward the environment and include the well being of our employees in the vineyard and winery. That extends to being good neighbors and demonstrating this by showing concern for and sensitivity toward the public and all living things.

Due to possible undeclared cashews in SimplyProtein’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars, the voluntary recall of the Costco-sold product has been expanded.
A voluntary recall of SimplyProtein’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bar has been expanded because of the potential for undeclared cashews, Wellness Natural USA Inc. announced according to a press release from the FDA.
An initial recall of the product, which included a single lot, has been expanded to include all lots within expiration. According to the press release, any products with best before dates between April 11, 2023, and March 14, 2024, are included in the recall. The location of the best by dates on the product can be seen in the image above.
The recalled Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars were only distributed in Costco stores in the United States, at a nationwide level. The product is sold in a 15-count variety pack that includes 5 Peanut Butter Chocolate Crispy Bars.
The initial voluntary recall was initiated following a consumer complaint. To date, according to the press release, that complaint is the only reported reaction. The decision to expand the recall was made by Wellness Natural USA Inc. to exercise an abundance of caution, while the cause of the contamination is under investigation.
US-based Costco stores in possession of this product are urged to stop sales and distribution, isolate affected products, and contact Wellness Natural USA Inc. for verification and instructions for disposal. Consumers who have purchased impacted products with a sensitivity to cashew should not consume and return to Costco.
This product and other flavors in the carton that do declare cashew as an allergen, are safe to consume for those that do not have a sensitivity to cashew, according to the release.
Concerns should be forwarded to firstname.lastname@example.org.

U.S. anti-missile units ordered on Syrian border
Updated 11:56 pm, Friday, December 14, 2012
INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta signed an official deployment order Friday to send 400 U.S. military personnel and two Patriot air defense batteries to Turkey as its cross-border tensions intensify with Syria, where loyalist forces have increasingly resorted to aerial attacks, including use of ballistic missiles, to fight a spreading insurgency.
The U.S. batteries will be part of a broader push to strengthen Turkey's defenses that will include the deployment of four other Patriot batteries — two from Germany and two from the Netherlands. Each battery contains multiple rounds of guided missiles that can intercept and destroy other missiles and hostile aircraft flying at high speeds.

Panetta's deployment order, the result of NATO discussions last week, represents the most direct U.S. military action so far to help contain the Syrian conflict and minimize the risk it will spill across the border with Turkey, a NATO member that is housing more than 100,000 Syrian refugees and providing aid to the Syrian rebels trying to oust President Bashar Assad.
Tensions between Turkey and Syria have escalated in recent months as Syrian forces have bombed rebel positions along the border and occasionally lobbed artillery rounds into Turkish territory. The Turks have also grown increasingly alarmed that Assad's forces could fire missiles into Turkey.
News of the Patriot deployment order came as anti-government activists inside Syria reported fresh violence, including an unconfirmed rebel claim to have downed a government warplane attacking insurgent positions near the international airport in Damascus, the capital.
In Moscow, meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry sought to distance itself from comments a day earlier by its Middle East envoy that the Syrian rebels may defeat Assad, a longstanding Kremlin ally and arms client. A ministry spokesman, Alexander Lukashevich, said Russia remained committed to a political solution in Syria.
“We have never changed our position and will not change it,” Lukashevich said.
He rejected a comment made by a State Department spokesman Thursday that Moscow had “woken up” and changed its position as dynamics shifted on the battlefield, saying “we have never been asleep.”


Themes and Meanings
The nonchalance of Zimmer’s entrance counterpoints the obvious professionalism with which Ellington conducts the gig, setting up the first of the tensions that pervade the poem. Naturally, Zimmer chooses the tenor sax as his instrument; after all, it has been called the sexiest of all instruments, not to mention that it is the instrument closest in sound and ability to the human voice and the one that most often serves for the competition with which the jazz singer “duels.” Here the duel, or battle of wills, is not between singer and saxophonist but is the age-old struggle between mentor and student, age and youth, made concrete in the conflict between bandleader and soloist, pianist and saxophonist, composer and musician, Ellington and Zimmer.
In line with the defiant tone of one of Zimmer’s most frequently anthologized poems, “The Day Zimmer Lost Religion,” “The Duke Ellington Dream” carries the encounter further by having the authority figure—Ellington—actually approach Zimmer with indignation and anger, which the timorous Christ fails to do in “The Day Zimmer Lost Religion.” Rather than ending with separation and alienation from the authority figure, however, this poem ends with Ellington’s passionate approbation of Zimmer, faults included. His anger at Zimmer for his tardiness cannot match his love for his ability to make the music live.
Another major tension of the poem rests on the improvisatory nature of jazz....

Does family history matter?
Family history is extremely important. Hearing loss is often hereditary. When it runs in families from generation to generation, the hearing loss usually follows a hereditary pattern called “autosomal dominant.” However, the absence of a family history does not mean that hearing loss is not genetic. “Autosomal recessive” inheritance is common. It means that neither parent has hearing loss, but both carry a gene that causes it. On the average, the hearing loss will be present in one child out of four.
