A couple of days ago, my sweet friend and client Dawn dropped off some fresh veggies and left them on my doorstep from her friend's garden. One of the veggies she left me was a zucchini, so naturally – I HAD to make some chocolate chip bread with it. Now that I'm off Whole30, I'm back to baking a little bit…and although I felt way better on Whole30, it's nice to have a sweet treat around the house.
I found the original recipe on Well Plated, and just made a few adjustments to take out extra sugar and add a little more natural sugar. No maple syrup or honey at all!!!
This makes a perfect breakfast, snack or even something great to give as a gift! The dark chocolate morsels really made a difference too with how rich it came across.
Preheat the oven 350F. Line a 8×8-inch baking pan or spray with coconut oil spray.
Place the shredded zucchini between two paper towels and press out as much water as possible. You can also place it over a sieve and press a paper towel on the top to dry it. Set aside.
Combine all ingredients except the dark chocolate into a food processor and process until smooth. After the ingredients have been mixed thoroughly, fold in the chocolate chips. You can put 3/4s of the chocolate in and save some for the top as well if you'd like!

research vessels are outfitted with specialized laboratory equipment and instruments and deck structures appropriate to their principal mission. All shipboard observations and research are carried out by a staff of scientific and technical specialists assisted by members of the ship's crew. These ships vary in tonnage from tens of tons to 45,000 tons. The number of shipboard laboratories depends on the tonnage of each ship and ranges from two on vessels of the Akademik Vavilov class to 100 or more on vessels of the Kosmonavt Iurii Gagarin class.
In the USSR scientific research vessels are operated by the academies of sciences of the USSR and the Union republics, the Chief Administration of the Hydrometeorological Service (GUGMS) of the USSR, the Ministry of the Fishing Industry, the Ministry of Geology, the Central Board of Navigation and Oceanography of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR, the Ministry of the Shipbuilding Industry, educational institutions, and other departments.
The scientific research fleet of the USSR comprises vessels engaged in diversified work and vessels designed for more specialized missions: weather service ships, which study processes in the oceans and the atmosphere, geophysical ships, which study geophysical processes in the ocean, and space research and support ships, which conduct space research and provide assistance during spaceflights. Data collection of value to commercial efforts is also conducted by scientific research vessels operated by the Ministry of the Fishing Industry and specialized ships of the Ministry of Geology. The Soviet expeditionary fleet, the largest in the world, operates in all parts of the world's oceans.
The first expeditionary ship, the Persei, was constructed in 1922 for research in the northern seas. Prior to the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45, all research was conducted on transport vessels, icebreakers, commercial fishing vessels, and hydrographic vessels temporarily converted for expeditions. The USSR used such ships to conduct 27 marine expeditions in arctic seas during the Second International Polar Year (1932). After the war, the scientific research vessel Vitiaz' was commissioned and for the next 18 years served as the flagship of the Soviet expeditionary fleet. During the 1950's and 1960's, a series of specially designed and constructed scientific research ships, for example, the Akademik Kurchatov, was placed in service to keep pace with rapid advances in marine research. A new type of scientific research vessel, equipped for studying the upper atmosphere and outer space from the ocean's surface, appeared in the mid-1960's. The flagship of this class, the Kosmonavt Iurii Gagarin, is the largest research vessel in the world (see Table la).
The mainstays of the scientific research fleet for lakes and rivers are modified or converted river vessels and launches (seeSURVEY SHIP). The best-equipped river vessels engaged in scientific research are maintained by the Institute of the Biology of Inland Waters of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in the Volga River basin (Akademik Topchiev, Borok, Nauka) and on Lake Baikal (G. Iu. Vereshchagin), by the Chief Administration of the Hydrometeorological Service (the scientific research vessel Merkurii), and by other organizations.
Scientific research vessels in use abroad during the early postwar period were primarily specially converted ships. The design and construction of specialized research vessels began in the 1960's. Ships of this type include those of the Oceanographer series and the drilling ship Glomar Challenger (USA), the Hakuho Maru and Edo (Japan), Capricorne and Jean Charcot (France), Charterer (Great Britain), Quadra (Canada), and the Alexander Humboldt (German Democratic Republic). The USA has the largest fleet of scientific research vessels, followed by Japan, Canada, France, Great Britain, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Argentina. All these ships are equipped with modern research equipment. They are primarily engaged in research programs.
In addition to surface vessels, underwater research vessels took on a major role in the study of the ocean depths during the 1950's and 1960's. Their work includes direct studies of benthic organisms and their interactions, studies of the continental shelf (the most productive biological region), and the collection of geological ore samples. In the USSR such research has been conducted by the Severianka and Sever-1. Vessels used abroad include the Deep Jeep, Alvin, Aluminaut, Cubmarine, and Ashera (USA), Pisces (Canada), Archimede (France), and Kuroshio, Yomiuri, and Kawasaki (Japan).

What is a Cultivar?
...and why does it matter?
Cultivar, or cultivated variety simply refers to plants that are selected for desired characteristics and bred to preserve or maximize that characteristic.
For example, most modern crops like corn, soy and wheat (as well as ornamental plants like roses, geraniums and even palm trees!) have been cultivated over the course of history to produce the highest crop yields, retain the most desirable flavors, appearance or resilience to disease, drought or even pests.
Wait a minute...
This sounds a lot like Genetic Modification. Well, in theory it is, but it is not exactly what we currently call GMO. Modern Genetically Modified Organisms are engineered by botanists by implanting genetic material or chemically altering a plant's gene structure. What we are talking about today is actually more along the lines of selective breeding.
There are now countless cannabis cultivars designed for different purposes, but most common is the selective breeding of different varieties to tailor the output of various Cannabinoids. What this means for the consumer is that some plants are selectively bred together to yield a production level of THC, while others are bred to produce the maximum concentration of CBD and suppress THC production.We when talk about hemp (sometimes called industrial hemp) we are talking about specific varieties of the Cannabis sativa L. selectively bred over time to suppress the plants production of THC (the famously psychotropic compound in marijuana that gets you high) so that the plant can be utilized for various industrial purposes without running afoul of the federal government's narcotic laws.
Amongst these hemp varieties are cultivars designed specifically to produce extremely high levels of CBD for medicinal consumption. Two of these strains are called Otto II and BaOx. These are the two strains from which Common Ground products are based.
So what's the benefit of a high CBD hemp cultivar? Why would we take the time and energy to produce extract from these plants and not another strain of cannabis? Well, efficiency is the answer.While can be a fantastically agreeable and resilient crop to farm, like any crop, it requires precious resources. Some more scarce than others. Amongst those resources is:
1. Water - which often comes in short supply here in Colorado
2. Clean Soil - cannabis is a bio-accumlator. Meaning it will leach vitamins, minerals and even toxins from soil. Proper land and soil and is absolutely vital to quality CBD production.
3. Energy - both electric and fossil fuel. Unfortunately, CBD production is a energy intensive. We farm outdoors in the beautiful Colorado sun, but that means that we have to use trucks and tractors to plant and harvest. The drying, extracting and refining processes also require a lot of energy.
4. Human Capital - the most important of all of our resources is the expertise, attention and handcrafting that goes into farming, testing, extracting, testing, formulating, testing again and eventually delivering a top quality product to our customers.
It is logical that if we can produce 4-5x the CBD per pound of crop, then we will be able to use only a fraction of the precious resources that would be required of a low yield crop.
High CBD Hemp Cultivars allow us to not only deliver end products to the consumer at competitive prices, but also gives us the ability to keep sustainability a top priority and take care of mother earth as she takes care of us.

Benzema was just testing our patience. Yes his playing style opens up many goal opportunities but he missed WAY too many chances to make it justified.
Spot on. It was grapple game and things happened in split seconds. Salah grabbed Ramos' arm and when they both lost balance, they instinctively looked for safe landing, nothing intentional. And it was the other shoulder that got injured.

A housing campaign organized by a group of graduate students marched for an hour around the Chancellor's Complex in favor of a graduate housing rent-freeze on April 2. The demonstration was organized after Housing Dining Hospitality overruled a recommendation by the Associated Residential Community Housing Advisory Committee to freeze graduate housing rental rates for the upcoming year.
Petia Yanchulova Merica-Jones, a member of ARCHAC, told the UCSD Guardian in an email that the committee had rejected HDH's proposals to increase the cost of graduate housing over a four-year period on March 28 due to a lack of "sufficient information and financials (debt financials, cash flows) to motivate rental rate increases." The committee voted 6–0 in favor, with two members abstaining, for a rent-freeze for the 2019-2020 school year.
On the morning of April 2, the HDH director of housing sent an email to residents in graduate housing regarding the new rental rates set to take effect for the 2019-2020 school year. The graduate housing communities of One Miramar St., South and Central Mesa, The Rita and Coast will see rental rate increases of 3 percent. Mesa Nueva rates will increase by 5 percent for all units except for studios, which will increase by 6 percent to account for the "greater correction on the interest-only rates set in 2018 since [studio units] were priced significantly lower than other unit types based on construction cost," according to the email. HDH is able to overrule ARCHAC's recommendation because the committee is advisory and its decisions nonbinding.
Nuevo East and Nuevo West are a part of the $1.6 billion UCSD facility expansion.
In response, a group of graduate students called for a march near the Chancellor's Complex later that morning. Approximately 30 student demonstrators wore red shirts that read "Educate! Agitate! Organize!" on the front and "UC Student-Workers Union" on the back. The protest was independently organized by the student-activists and not directly affiliated with the SWU.
The marchers' slogans of "Listen Pradeep, the rent is too steep!" and "Listen Pierre, it's just not fair!" directly referenced Chancellor Pradeep Khosla and Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer Pierre Ouillet, two key UC San Diego administrative figures.
In a document provided to the Guardian, the students listed the concerns they had with HDH's decision to increase rental rates.
Yanchulova Merica-Jones said that her concerns with the UCSD administration's actions are a matter of transparency.
Sven Brueggemann, a graduate student and the leader of a similar march for housing affordability on February 19, was critical of the UCSD administration's overall attitudes and policies towards student housing.
"The structure of [the] UCSD administration set up for housing, and their policy, isn't for affordable housing, but rather to facilitate [continued] UCSD expansion," Brueggemann told the Guardian.
Yanchulova Merica-Jones urged her fellow students to join the campaign's efforts for a rent-freeze and called for them to speak up and voice their concerns. At the time of publication, a rent-freeze petition has reached over 500 signatures, and more than 150 emails have been sent to UCSD, HDH, and ARCHAC.
In a statement provided to the Guardian, HDH defended its decision to increase rental rates, arguing that it has "spent a significant amount of time" meeting with ARCHAC to discuss the 2019-2020 housing rates. HDH also applauded ARCHAC's work and the feedback it received from the committee.
HDH noted its own efforts to increase the number of graduate students who are able to live on campus.
"By 2020, as part of UCSD's Long Range Development Plan, the campus plans to increase that number to 50 percent of graduate students, allowing more students to take advantage of the campus' below-market rental rates," the statement added.
Hosam Yousif, a graduate student and one of the activist leaders of the housing campaign, spoke at a meeting with the Associated Student Council on April 3. No further immediate protests have been planned, but members of the housing campaign plan to continue to inform both graduate housing residents and undergraduate students of HDH's decision to raise graduate housing rental rates for the upcoming year.


The investment will allow MedRhythms to launch a platform that focuses on creating prescription products for people with neurological injuries and diseases.
MedRhythms, a Portland-based company that is using sensors, artificial intelligence and music to develop products that help people with brain injuries and diseases recover walking functions, has raised over $5 million in a round of private equity funding.
The company said in a prepared statement that it intended to raise $4 million but ended up raising $5.3 million because of "substantial interest" in its stock.
The funding round was led by Peter Werth of Werth Family Investment Associates LLC of Woodbridge, Connecticut. Other participants included professional investors and company executives, it said, including a significant investment from Jean Hoffman, founder and former CEO of Portland-based Putney Inc.
The investment will allow MedRhythms to develop and launch a patent-pending digital therapeutics platform that focuses on creating prescription products for people with neurological injuries and diseases to improve and measure walking, the company said.
The first product on the platform focuses on stroke survivors, and the development pipeline includes products for Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, aging and traumatic brain injuries, it said.
MedRhythms said it intends to hire software, product and commercial professionals for its Portland office.
Along with the new financing, MedRhythms said it is expanding its board of directors from three to five members.
Werth will join the board as lead investor, along with Ray Pawlicki, former chief information officer for Biogen and Novartis and current board member for Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, UMass Memorial and RockStep Solutions.
Hoffman, the former Putney CEO, will remain on the board, while Bill McKee, former chief financial officer of Barr Pharmaceuticals and Putney, will join the board as an observer.

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Andrew McCutchen is ready to boost the Philadelphia Phillies with his bat, glove and brain.
Signed to a $50 million, three-year contract, McCutchen said he enjoys his role as the veteran in the outfield and likes what he's seen from his younger teammates.
The 32-year-old McCutchen is set to start in left. He returns to the National League after finishing up last season with the New York Yankees — he spent his first nine seasons in Pittsburgh, joined San Francisco last year and then was traded to the Bronx.
Mind you, that's what the Giants thought last year, and look how well it worked for them….
PHILADELPHIA-Andrew McCutchen returned to his home state to join his third team in less than 12 months, intent on regaining his old hitting stroke.
"This is a game of adjustments," McCutchen said. "I've definitely had to make some adjustments over the years, and I know that I can be even better than what I've been over the past few (seasons). There has been a decline, yes, but I do understand what I'm capable of doing.
Best wishes- shame things went for you in San Francisco as they did, but I sincerely hope it isn't the end.
The Phillies have a deal in place with free agent outfielder Andrew McCutchen, according to Matt Gelb of The Athletic (Twitter link). The agreement is still pending a physical.
McCutchen will reportedly receive a three-year, $50MM contract that includes an option for a fourth season. Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philly (via Twitter), who first broke the news that the sides were in serious talks, reported the years, with Jon Heyman of Fancred reporting the guarantee and option year (Twitter links).

There are few teams in Rugby League that can be considered consistently dominant season after season.
Most seasons are conducted with incredible passion and force and followed by a slump and a bout of the 'But, we did it last season!' blues.
Today, then, we want to bring together two of the few teams who have managed such a feat of dominance. Two who managed to keep their heads level over a stretch of more than two seasons.
Come with me as I discuss the teams, the coaches and who is going to be our victor in our inaugural Fantasy Match.
This Wigan squad is straight from the midst of their dominance in England. Winning 8 Challenge Cups in a row is a feat that is probably never to be replicated.
Interestingly, this season was the only season they weren't supposed to win. Dubbed 'Mission Impossible' by the Fans, they had to play 8 games in an 18-day period, and win.
Which, in true Wigan fashion, they did. They only dropped points with a draw at Bradford. The rest, as they say, is history.
Like any great team, there is always one caveat: they were the first professional team.
In an era where top flight English Rugby League players were tradesmen by day and athletes at night, Wigan were devoting all their time to Rugby League. Some may call it an unfair advantage, but it helped pave the way for English Rugby League today.
With all that being said, let's take a look at the their team.
A Sea of Wigan Warriors Fans: The Glamour Club Was a Rugby League Powerhouse in the Late 80s and Early 90s.
'The Black Pearl' has been voted the best English Player of all time. And, with good reason – he played over 500 games, scored over 400 tries and played at the top flight for 19 years.
Despite being from Salford, Betts is one of Wigan's most decorated players. He brought this squad together, playing the most games for the team throughout the season, and was awarded the Lance Todd Trophy for man-of-the-match in the Challenge Cup Final.
A former All Black, Botica moved to Rugby League in 1990 and made an immediate impact for the Warriors, becoming the fastest man to accumulate 1,000 points in British Rugby League.
Recipient of the Man of Steel award in 1990, Edwards was at the peak of his powers coming into the 90-91 season. The fiery half was a linchpin of the side, scoring 16 tries and laying on countless others for his teammates.

You can find a full squad listing and a breakdown of their entire season here.
This team comes from right in the midst of Melbourne's most prominent run as a premiership force. This is the season that they secured their second Premiership Title, defeating the Manly Sea Eagles in the 2007 Grand Final.
They were dominant in the forwards, had one of the greatest backlines of all time and were arguably the most disciplined outfit in the NRL Premiership, dropping only 3 games all year.
Again, similar to Wigan, this impeccable team has one drawback: They broke the rules by exceeding the salary cap.
Melbourne has since paid the price for this and had their titles stripped from them.
There are still comments of 'buying' titles to this day. But, this squad is one worth recognising, despite all the rigmarole surrounding it.
At just 17 years of age, Folau made his debut for the Storm in 2007 and quickly established himself as a match winner. Folau was the team's leading try-scorer, picking up 21 tries in a stunning season that culminated with selection for Australian Kangaroos. Folau's maiden year is considered one of the best rookie seasons of all time.
You can't write about any modern Melbourne team without including Billy Slater. Slater's 2007 season was disrupted by a fractured cheekbone, but he returned for back half of the year and was instrumental in their Grand Final success. His brilliant combination with halfback Cooper Cronk was a key feature of Melbourne's attack.
Another one of Melbourne's long-standing players, Cam Smith had a fantastic season and was their top point-scorer once again. Smith's influence was such that he was awarded the 2007 Golden Boot award as the best player in the world.
Inglis was moved to five-eighth in 2007 and had an indifferent season by his standards, but, like any champion, he stood up when it counted, scoring a brace of tries in the Grand Final and receiving the Clive Churchill Medal for best on ground.
Greg Inglis was also named in South Sydney's Greatest XIII.
This match-up makes sense for a lot of reasons: two teams in the midst of their dominance, with comments about money looming over their heads in tight seasons, looking to maintain their presence and not lose focus.
Both sides boasted an array of brilliant players who produced exceptional performances.
Folau's 21-try debut season for the Storm was remarkable. Ellery Hanley's 29-try season at Wigan was, perhaps, even more so.
The Storm trio of Inglis, Smith and Slater will go down as three of the best players of all time. For Wigan, the likes of Hanley, Betts, Botica, Edwards, and Andy Gregory were all stars.
It's hard to compare these two teams on their physicality and fitness. The strength and conditioning of today's teams is far beyond that of the early 90s. The Melbourne team was stronger, faster and more physical than any British team ever could have been back then.
Although, on paper, Melbourne had the better of the two seasons, Wigan managed to win an extraordinary 17 games back-to-back. Not only did Wigan possess a squad that could have competed against any Australian club outfit – which they did, going on to beat Penrith 21-4 at Anfield a year later – they also fielded a team who performed as a well-drilled and disciplined unit. And, although there were incredible individual displays throughout the season, they always played collectively as a team. The fact that every player in the starting line-up represented at international level says it all.
The Storm's season was undoubtedly impressive. Yet, in comparison, they were still the weaker of the two teams. Melbourne played an efficient brand of Rugby League, but I feel they were, at times, too reliant on their key players. Clearly, the Storm had a crop of superstars, but at the same time, some obvious weaknesses.
This isn't just a display of English pageantry and support from myself. Au contraire, being a Salford fan means I'd love to see Wigan stuffed at every possible opportunity.
But, there is a reason why people are still talking about Wigan's eight Challenge Cups 20 years later and Melbourne's run feels like a distant memory only a few years on.
What do you think? Who would be your winner? And who would you like to see pitted against each other next week?
Wigan. Best side I've seen.


Drug problems in Malaysia seem to be on the increase despite harsh penalties for those caught supplying the drug. Of particular concern is the growing popularity of methamphetamine – seizures of this substance in 2010 were the highest on record. For many years the main threat appeared to be from heroin. This continues to be the most widely abused drug in the country but other substances are catching up.
Up until the 1960s drug abuse in Malaysia mostly involved opium, and it was restricted to the Chinese immigrant population. By the 1980s the Malays had become the ethnic group in Malaysia that is most likely to abuse illegal drugs. Concerns for the rapid increase in heroin used were so high that the government decreed it was a national threat. This led to the creation of a national anti drug task force team along with a mandatory death sentence for anyone caught smuggling more than 15 grams of heroin. The government also decided that anyone caught using heroin would be forced to undergo compulsory addiction treatment. The ambition of the Malaysian government has been to completely eradicate drug problems by 2015, but the problem is in some ways getting worse.
Half of all illegal drug use in Malaysia involves heroin. Records from 2006 show there were 22,811 drug users who had been officially detected, and this is a drop from 2005 when there were 34,813 cases detected. The majority of drug users seem to live in Pulau Pinang and Kedah. It is believed that at least 1.1% of the Malaysian population is involved in illegal drug use.
* Heroin is the most widely abused illegal drug in Malaysia.
* Methamphetamine is the second most widely abused drug in the country.
* There is a growing market for amphetamine type stimulants.
* Kratom comes from a tree that can be commonly found in South East Asia. The leaves can produce mild stimulant or opiate-type effects.
* The individual does not have to be using these substances for very long before they become addicted to them. Once the individual has developed a physical and psychological dependence these drugs take over and destroy their life.
* Most drug users do not have the financial resources to cover their drug habit. This means that they will often turn to crime in order to be able to afford these substances.
* Drug abuse has a devastating impact on the individual's mental and physical health. Unless these people are able to stop the substance abuse it will kill them.
* Some individuals will become violent when they are intoxicated from these substances. They may also engage in other inappropriate ways.
* The drug user will be unable to live up to their potential while they are addicted to these substances. It can mean that their life is wasted.
* It is common for drug users to overdose on these substances. The fact that these substances are provided illegally means that their strength cannot be controlled – the individual ends up playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette.
* A significant number of drug users will end up in prison. They may develop a revolving door pattern where they are in and out of prison on a regular basis.
* Young people who become addicted to these substances will be limiting their future possibilities in life. It is not possible to perform well in school or college while abusing drugs.
* Drug users will find it hard to maintain steady employment and most become unemployable.
* It ties up a chunk of law enforcement resources. The battle against drug addiction has been an expensive project.
* It is a drain on available health care resources.
* Intravenous drug use is the primary cause of HIV transmission in Malaysia.
* Drug users harm the economy due to lost productivity. Those who are able to hold down a job will be less productive as a result of their addiction, and they may need to take frequent sick days.
* Money that could be spent on improving life for a family will be wasted because one of them is a drug addict. The family of a substance abuser may be living on the poverty line while this individual wastes a small fortune feeding their habit.
* Drug abuse ravages communities. It can get so bad that people are afraid to leave their homes after dark.
* The demand for these illegal substances feeds the criminal underworld. The money made from selling drugs is often used to finance further crime and to fund terrorism.
* Drug abuse is closely associated with domestic abuse.
* Rumah Ikhtiar aims to reintegrate the addict back into society. During their stay the individual is taught living skills and they also receive other types of training so that they can have a second chance in life.
* Narcotics Anonymous offers a 12 Step solution to help the individual overcome their drug addiction. The aim is to not only to help the individual overcome their addiction but also to give them a program so they can find true happiness in life.
* Some Malaysians are going abroad in order to find the best possible help for their addiction problems. DARA Rehab is based in Thailand and is the first and largest English-speaking substance abuse treatment facility in Asia.

Motivational issues in the study of Gemara among American high school senior boys
Ross, Aaron S.
In the current curriculum in Modern Orthodox Yeshiva high schools, Talmud is the one subject which is granted far more instructional time than any other. However, there has been virtually no research aimed at discovering the results of such a devotion to one subject area. This study set out to gauge the success of this stress on Talmud through the prism of the motivation of the students to continue studying Talmud once their formal schooling had ended. A total of 115 New York metropolitan area high school senior boys took a survey that measured their motivation towards the study of Talmud. The Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS) measured the degree to which the students' parents, peer group, and teachers and classroom environment exerted an influence on them with regard to their desire to study Talmud. The Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) produced a measure of their motivation to study Talmud, as well as a measure of the affinity that they felt for their rebbe, or Talmud instructor, separate from their affinity or aversion for the subject. Students were also asked to rank all of their subjects in order from most to least favorite. Hierarchical multiple regressions were performed, whereby the students' general academic motivation was removed from the equation, thus allowing the individual impacts of parents, peers, and teachers on motivation to study Talmud specifically above and beyond a student's overall inclination to perform well in school to emerge. The most significant finds of these analyses was that student motivation to study Talmud seems to be most closely linked to his motivation to succeed in school in general, while the impact of parents, peers, and teachers on motivation was significant only with regard to the relationships that students reported having with their rebbeim. When asked to rank their classes, one-third of the students placed Talmud in the lower one-third of their classes, but almost one-half ranked Talmud in the top one-third of their classes, with one-third ranking it first among their subjects. Analyses of variance were performed to better explain the relationship between the rankings and the actual motivation that students had towards Talmud. In general, student motivation correlated well with the ranking that students gave their Talmud class. The one surprising finding was that many students who ranked Talmud lower among their subjects still reported a positive relationship with their rebbe. These findings bring some focus to the question of what schools are attempting to accomplish by allotting over two hours of instructional time per day to the study of Talmud, and the suggestion is made that it is not the study of Talmud itself which is most important, but rather the increased exposure to the positive religious role model of the rebbe.

She sewed clothes for Sunny Wind!
Room redecorating: Two days before summer vacation ended, we finally painted her bedroom! We had discussed rainbows, fairy gardens, and other such things, and decided to paint rainbow stripes on one wall, and the others a beautiful aqua blue like the sky. She wanted grass but she settled on a green yoga mat for the floor and a green blanket for Donovan's trundle bed =) I got rainbow sheets from pottery barn, and her first bed frame since her crib! We got a beautiful Jenny Lind bed from the Land of Nod. So pretty! She has a few more projects in mind, like repainting her Serenity letters. And I bought rainbow chevron decals to fancy up her ceiling fan and a coloring canvas for her to color and put on the wall, but she already loves it!
We always love our California visits, and this one was no exception. Serenity had sleepovers with Henry, and went to the Jelly Belly factory with Auntie Patricia. They were reading the beanboozled game, where you taste beans that are either normal flavors, or yucky ones like ear wax. Well, she said that she could probably eat the booger flavored ones, because she eats her own anyway. =) LOL!!! She told me she tried lots of yummy flavors, but peach is her current favorite.
She adored climbing at Castle Rock. She's pretty adventurous! More than I can enjoy, at least while I have to keep Maia from following as well.
Soap Making: Serenity got her first Doodle Crate. It was AWESOME! She got to try soap making! And she could do the whole project basically alone, although I cut the glycerin for her. She made beautiful soaps, and used every bit of the materials they sent. Totally fun! Can't wait to see what comes next!

Author donates $10K to help relocate Confederate monuments from Bastrop County courthouse lawn
After the commissioners court approved to relocate the monuments, author Ryan Holiday wrote a check for $10,000 for the funding of the relocation process.
Author: Luis de Leon
Updated: 11:48 PM EDT September 21, 2020
AUSTIN, Texas — Aside from raising his children in Bastrop County, author Ryan Holiday writes books on applying the philosophy of Greece and Rome to modern-day context out of his Main Street office in Downtown Bastrop.
It's just blocks from the Bastrop County courthouse, where two Confederate monuments stand.
"... And so as we would pass the statue, it always struck me as strange that on the, you know, in front of the courthouse that citizens of all races and gender have to walk through," Holiday told KVUE Monday, "we're paying to maintain a monument that was explicitly put up to celebrate the disenfranchisement of a significant portion of of of Bastrop citizens."
So when the most recent efforts began for removing and relocating the monuments, Holiday worried that there wouldn't be enough funding for the statues to move.
"I just didn't want money to be an issue as far as doing what's obviously the right thing here," Holiday said.
After the Bastrop County Commissioners Court voted to approve the process to relocate the monuments, Holiday wrote a check for $10,000 to be put toward the fundraising for the relocation.
He posted about why he decided to do it on Instagram.
A post shared by Ryan Holiday (@ryanholiday) on Sep 14, 2020 at 7:01am PDT
A relocation committee was created to handle the process of relocating the monuments, which according to co-chair Cheryl Lee, is currently working with Deep in the Heart Foundry of Bastrop to establish a final budget for dis-assembly, transport and re-assembly, and have been reaching out to additional firms for comparable bids.
The preliminary estimate for relocating the monuments is somewhere between $15,000 to $25,000, making Holiday's contribution a big boost for the committee.
"... and I just thought, 'I don't want anyone to be able to say we can't afford to do what we'd like to be able to do,'" Holiday said. "I feel very privileged to give a donation of this size. But I'm in a position to do that because the system worked for me. And I feel like everyone who the system has worked for is obligated to try to make the system as fair and respectful of everyone else as possible."

KVUE has reported in the past on how some feel the monuments standing in a public space could be used as an educational tool. Holiday said he realizes there are people who make the argument that removing and relocating the monuments is erasing history.
"... which is the exact opposite of my profession. I love history. I write about the Civil War. I think there are fascinating, complicated figures on both sides of them. But it's very hard to deny the historical reality of why these statues went up," Holiday said. "I think it's essential that we learn from history. But just because something is historical doesn't mean that it deserves a place, let's say, on the prominent grounds of a county courthouse."
Currently, the committee says they've found two viable site locations within Bastrop County, but have not yet been able to give specifics on where.
The committee said they report updates to the comissioners court every second regular session meeting of the month. The next report date is Sept. 28.

Cold Shoulder?

Some doubt Bush's commitment to tech
George W. Bush says he supports technology, but a growing number of onlookers have questioned his commitment.
On day 66 of his administration, the president has yet to fill six key science and technology posts. He has also proposed eliminating the budget of the Advanced Technology Program (ATP) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and asked for de facto cuts in research-and-development (R&D) spending by the National Science Foundation — the midwife of the Internet.
The moves were seen by some as demonstrating a lack of understanding of the governments role in fostering new technologies, as well as in debates over key issues such as Internet taxation and privacy.
"It is unfortunate that there is no one in the inner circle in the White House at the moment with solid [science] training. Because such an individual can inject science and technology into discussions and can recognize decisions that could have a significant effect on the nations science and technology," said D. Allan Bromley, a Republican.

Why WiFi 6E is a Much Bigger Deal Than the Name Suggests
A Yale University physicist, Bromley directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy under former President George Bush. Jack Gibbons, who also served as director of the OSTP for several years under Clinton, said the science and technology research community is concerned about the present situation.
"Early on in new administrations, major decisions [about] budgets are being made, and the present administration doesnt seem to have that understanding of the importance of having someone versed in science and technology to help set the agenda," Gibbons said. "Its important because its the engine that pulls the whole economy."
Bushs critics were met, however, by plenty of cheerleaders, who said they werent too concerned about lowered spending on federal research. Its too early to lambaste him for not filling key technology posts, they cautioned. The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story.
A senior aide to Secretary of Commerce Don Evans said, "To the administration, technology is clearly a priority. Given the prominence and importance of the technology sector within this administration, you want to put the best team in place, and sometimes that takes awhile."
Either way, one thing is clear: While Bushs campaign courtship of the high-tech community was straightforward, his commitment to engendering technology is not.
The Bush budget proposed suspending the funding for the ATP until the administration completes an examination of the program and decides its fate. The ATP was launched under the Bushs fathers administration to provide seed money to companies to develop technological innovations.
Getting rid of the $270-million ATP would be a "mistake," said Dale Skeen, chief technology officer at Vitria Technology, a company that designs enterprise integration software.
"Through ATP funding [of $4 million], we were able to develop one of the core pieces required for this technology, and [become] the first to bring it to market," he said. He pointed out that Gartner Group has predicted that the enterprise application integration sector will develop into a $3 billion to $5 billion market in the next few years.
The research Vitria performed using ATP money was "high-risk," Skeen said. Venture capitalists would not touch it because the payoff was at least four or five years away. Over the last 10 years, ATP grantees have produced more than 100 commercial products.
The presidents budget, which must be approved by Congress, calls for increasing the coffers of the National Science Foundation by 1 percent, or $50 million. Bromley said that, adjusting for inflation, the Bush budget would cut funds to the NSF by 2.6 percent, NASA by 3.6 percent and the Department of Energy by 7.1. Together, he said, they account for most federal science and technology R&D.
While Bushs budget rankled many technology advocates, others defended the presidents approach. Steve Papermaster, president of the high-profile Texas venture capital firm Powershift Group and a big backer of Bush, dismissed complaints that the president seems oblivious to the needs of technology companies.
"I believe there is a much stronger focus on intelligently using the dollars in place," he said. "I know there is strong support in the administration for R&D funding. Its not a lack of belief or support in R&D, but its a matter of what dollars are coming from the federal government and how they are being used."
Papermaster said that he and other high-tech executives are regularly tapped by people in the administration — including the president — for counsel.
Melanie Gness, Dell Computers public affairs manager in Washington, D.C., said the company is generally pleased with its interactions with the administration thus far. "Bush has proactively solicited the opinions of tech companies, and also their customers, to assist him and the administration in understanding the needs of all involved parties," she said.
CEO Michael Dell gave the Bush campaign $1,000 and donated $250,000 in "soft money" to the Republican National Committee.
Prominent venture capitalist Floyd Kvamme, a partner in the storied Silicon Valley firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and a vociferous Bush supporter during the campaign, said he remains bullish on Bush and knows that the administration is toiling hard to find people willing to accept high-level positions in government.
A longtime Republican science advocate who is privy to some of the behind-the-scenes haggling over technology policy in the administration said he knows that the White House is trying to find people. The problem is, he said, it is intent on luring executives from the private sector, and its having a hard time convincing qualified leaders to leave their struggling companies during the economic downturn, take pay cuts and enter the D.C. pressure cooker.
Outside of his cabinet, the only formal nomination Bush has offered up to the technology community is Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell. At least six other positions are unfilled, and people close to the Washington, D.C., technology circuit said there were few whispers about possible candidates, which is highly unusual.
"Its like Home Alone for the staff at every technology agency," said Larry Irving, who was head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration under former President Bill Clinton from February 1993 until last year.
Irving said the process has become so protracted that by the time key people are in place, "they will come in the middle of all kinds of tough issues — all of the stuff before the FCC, privacy, international issues. . . . A lot of it is political."
Irving characterized the administrations approach as "studious neglect," but not everyone outside the Beltway is unhappy with Bushs apparent reticence. David Harris is vice president of marketing at EasyAsk, a natural language search engine company in Littleton, Mass., and he is pleased.
"While Al Gore wanted to take credit for inventing the Internet, free markets drive technology. A technology policy [from the Bush administration] can only hurt free markets in their operation."
