I don't know what it is about summer but every evening I'm craving something sweet. This doesn't happen during the school year. During the school year I eat dinner then usually sit on the couch for a little while and get ready for bed. I have no desire to have a sweet after dinner.
That all changes in the summer. I'm not sure if it's the heat, the fact that it stays light out later, or what it is but I want something sweet about 4 or 5 nights a week. Ideally I'd love to be able to go and get ice cream everyday but that gets expensive and who wants to run out after dinner every day? I'd be happy enough with a cookie or a brownie but it's been too hot to bake anything in the oven.
That leaves me with two options. I can either buy some ice cream and put it in the freezer which is fine or I can make a no bake dessert. I haven't made a whole lot of no bake desserts but they are quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I like how quickly they come together and they are pretty refreshing in the summer because they are served cold.
Last week I made this awesome No Bake S'mores Cake. I mean, nothing says summer like S'mores! Who can resist that combination of graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow? I know I can't. Plus, this cake has just 6 ingredients in it so it's really easy to make. This cake is best made a day ahead of time so it can sit in the refrigerator and the graham crackers will soften and have a cake like texture.
In between the layers of graham crackers is a layer of chocolate ganache and a layer of marshmallow whipped cream. Everything is simply layered in a 9 x 13 baking dish and then refrigerated overnight. The resulting No Bake S'mores Cake is delicious! All the chocolate, graham cracker, and marshmallow flavor is in this cake and I love how soft and tasty it is. Plus, it's served cold so it's perfect on a hot summer day.
Keep the oven off with this delicious No Bake S'mores Cake layered with graham crackers, chocolate ganache, and marshmallow whipped cream.
Pour the heavy cream in a medium size saucepan over medium heat. Heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then whisk until the chocolate has melted and is well combined. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl combine the marshmallow cream, mini marshmallows, and Cool Whip. Mix until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of the marshmallow whipped cream on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Break the graham cracker sheets in half and place the contents of one package on the bottom of the pan. You may need to break some of the pieces into quarters to get them to fit.
Top the graham crackers with ⅓ of the marshmallow cream mixture then pour half of the chocolate ganache on top of the cream and spread out evenly.
Top the chocolate mixture with another package of graham crackers.
Place ⅓ of the marshmallow cream mixture on top of the graham crackers and then pour the remaining chocolate ganache on top and spread out evenly.
Place the remaining package of graham crackers on top of the chocolate. Spread the remaining marshmallow whipped cream over top of the graham crackers and then sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove from refrigerator and cut into squares to serve.

Elisabeth is een Antwerps premetrostation, gelegen in Antwerpen-Noord onder het kruispunt van de Sint-Elisabethstraat met de Grein- en de Delinstraat.

Het station opende gelijktijdig met de nieuwe ondergrondse lijn 3 in 1996. Een plaat in de lokethal herinnert hieraan. Naast tram 3 (sinds 1996) passeren ook tram 5 (sinds 2006), tram 6 (sinds 2007) en tram 2 (sinds 2012) door dit station. Het station dateert in ruwbouw uit de jaren 80 van de twintigste eeuw, maar werd modern aangekleed. De herkenningskleur van het station is donkergrijs.

Op niveau -1 bevindt zich de lokethal en één uitgang naar het pleintje waaronder het station is gelegen. Beide perrons van 60 meter lang bevinden zich op niveau -2, recht tegenover elkaar.

Sinds 1 september 2012 rijdt hier tram 2 naast de lijnen 3, 5 en 6.

Toekomst
Volgens plan 2021 (zie Nethervorming basisbereikbaarheid) zouden eind 2021 de vier bovengenoemde tramlijnen vervangen worden door de premetrolijnen M2 en M3. Er werd in maart 2021 besloten om dit plan enkele jaren uit te stellen tot er voldoende nieuwe trams geleverd zijn.

Q: Ordering by FARM_FINGERPRINT is super slow in BigQuery with ORDER BY I have a view that is based on, say, table_1, table_2, table_3:
SELECT
  col1,
  col2,
  col3,
  ...
  colN
FROM
  table1
LEFT JOIN
  table2
ON
  col1 = col2

This is the definition of my view that is queried.
The query itself is as follows:
SELECT
  col1,
  col2,
  ...
  colK,
  FARM_FINGERPRINT(col1 || col2 || ... || colK)

FROM
  my_view
ORDER BY
  FARM_FINGERPRINT(col1 || col2 || ... || colK)
LIMIT
  100

Let me explain why this is necessary in my case: querying this view is dynamic in that the user is supposed to specify the fields of interest. The tables are huge so without a LIMIT clause, the query is monstrously slow.
Pagination with LIMIT/OFFSET, however, is non-deterministic when no ORDER BY is specified. If I had a finite and constant set of fields, I could just use some default ORDER BY when no specific ordering is specified by the user.
This is why some additional column like a hash of column value is necessary to guarantee consistent results in the output.
The query with FARM_FINGERPRINT and ordering by this column is super slow and definitely is not an option for real use.
Is there any feasible alternative given that:

*

*Implementing pagination with LIMIT/OFFSET is required

*The set of columns in SELECT is dynamic and changes query to query

This game provided some of my first memories of my SNES. Christmas Eve, 1993. The only game system I owned at the time was a hand-me-down Atari 2600 from my older brother, which I loved to death (for some reason we sold it because the cord of the joystick snapped). That day, my rich uncle came over with Christmas gifts, unwrapped. He probably gave me more than just two gifts that year, I'm not sure, but the only two I remember are two SNES games: Hook (from that one Peter Pan movie) and Star Fox. Of course, I didn't own an SNES at the time, so my mom asked me, "Will the games work on your Atari?" Of course she knew the answer; this was setting precedent to the fact that I would get and SNES, Super Mario World and Mario Paint the next day (also, for those of you who don't know, SNES carts are twice as wide as Atari carts anyways). The first game I played was Star Fox, and of course I was dazzled by the graphics (who cares if they were polygons, they were better than Atari). The gameplay was so different from any of my Atari games that the only one I could even closely compare it with was Jet Fighter (a crappy 2-player only game). I played the game all day, and I was so captivated that I didn't want to come to Christmas dinner that night.
From a historical perspective, Nintendo probably had no idea the magnitude of an impact this game would have on the gaming masses. Being the launch title for the new revolutionary Super FX chip (I believe), this game would be the first of its kind to allow for quasi-3D graphics. This game would end up not only being one of the only good Super FX games, but would be the launch of one of Nintendo's most recent cover franchises. But enough of the history lesson, how does the game stack up?
I suppose the graphics do have their flaws, but in the context of the times in which the game came out, they were revolutionary. For the first time, gamers had the feeling that they were moving in a truly 3D world. Of course, you could only fly in a straight line, and the buildings were only big colored blocks with maybe a design on them, but finally gamers had the feeling that the environment had depth, something that was nonexistent previously. By today's standards or even maybe by some last-gen SNES graphic standards, this game is crappy graphically, but nevertheless it was a pioneer. Descriptively, everything in the game is just a combination of polygons. Buildings look like a child's building blocks. The Arwings look like a triangular prism with some pieces of colored construction paper jutting out the sides. Some enemies look like paper airplanes (in fact, in one of the secret levels, the enemies ARE paper airplanes :) ). Don't be looking for textures. In fact, there are NO textures whatsoever. There is a bit of lighting effects, but mostly those don't exist either. However, despite these little nuances, the game overall graphically is dazzling, at least for early 1993.
Unless you read the instruction booklet, you won't even know there is much of a story. The only hints to a story you will know of is through the vague in-between-mission-transmissions from General Pepper. However, the instruction booklet gives much more of a story, although it's not very impressive anyways. Fox McCloud is the son of James McCloud, a once-distinguished pilot who was killed in action. Fox is the leader of the Star Fox team, a mercenary team that is called upon by General Pepper to stop the attack on Corneria, counterattack Venom, and kill the evil scientist Andross. The story is very vague and unimpressive, but is still an effective motive for the events in the game.
There is only one thing I can say for this category: the music in this game rocks. No, for all you who have played SF64 and not this, the music from the original SF was not used in SF64, a shame in my opinion, for the tracks in this game are awesome. Personally, I can't think of a single track in the game I don't like, except for maybe Asteroid and Venom Orbit. My personal favorites are Space Armada and Corneria. Too bad they didn't use these tracks in SF64. We can only hope that they maybe rehash them and put them in the new Star Fox 2 coming out for the GCN.
Sound is good, too. When you get hit by a very damaging attack, you actually shudder from the sound that follows. Laser attacks get followed by a little zap. The Arwing doesn't make much noise other than the brake and boost (except on Macbeth, where the echo of the engine really gets on your nerves).
Yes, Star Fox basically reinvented the fighter pilot genre and improved on it in every way imaginable. Forget any fighter pilot game made before. This game paved the way for everything like it to follow.
The game premise is simple: begin at point A, fly in a straight line to point B at a constant speed (while using a temporary brake or boost when necessary), fight a boss, then move on to the next level. This is one of those games where the gameplay is so simple, but the game is so great because it's just so darned fun to play. I mean, what's not to like about taking control of a fighter plane, killing a bunch of weaker enemies, and destroying the Big Bertha of them all at the end? That's Star Fox. Your Arwing (the Star Fox fighter plane) has an energy bar at the bottom left of the screen that goes down every time it is hit by something. Everything has a certain damage assigned to it. For example, lasers don't hurt much, but missiles and plasma blasts really hurt, and running into buildings or asteroids is extremely hazardous. Your Arwing is equipped with lasers and nova bombs. Enemies (with the exception of bosses) basically are extremely weak and take only a couple shots to kill. You begin with a single laser, then can upgrade to a double laser, then finally to a double plasma blast. Every time you die or have your wing damaged, though, you lose these upgrades and fall back to the single laser. You also carry nova bombs, which are found plentifully around the levels. These bombs basically destroy everything in your range of sight (with the exception of bosses). You can carry up to five bombs at a time, and you will rarely run out. Personally, I hardly ever use bombs because I think it's fun to shoot enemies down with lasers, but bombs become really necessary when huge swarms of enemies press on you (like on Venom Orbit, where you will constantly be firing).
Bosses are very impressive. All, with the exception of one, are much larger than your Arwing. The mere sight of some of them scares the pants off you (Monarch Dodora still does that to me). The bosses all have a certain weak point, while the rest of their shell is impenetrable. The bosses have an energy bar like your Arwing, often twice or even three or four times the size of yours, which must be depleted for them to be defeated.
The game follows one of three paths: course 1 being the easiest and course 3 being the toughest. Courses 1 and 2 have six stages and course 3 has seven. Each course begins at Corneria and follows a path to Venom. Each level is different and follows some kind of motif. Although the path is linear, you won't care because the levels are so fun.
There to accompany you is your team: Slippy Toad, Falco Lombardi, and Peppy Hare. These three do not have specific services like in SF64, but rather they help when it comes to your score. Unlike in SF64, SF uses a percentage system. If you get 100%, that means every enemy in the stage was destroyed and you get 10,000 points. You can actually get 100% without killing every enemy because what actually happens is your teammates behind you get the kills, which counts to the score. Therefore, if you have no teammates left (they all die), your chances of getting 100% are minimal. Your teammates, unlike in SF64, have four hits to death. An enemy gets on their tail, and it is your job to destroy the enemy before they hit your teammate, at which time their energy bar goes down by ¼. This energy is not replenishable, so you must keep your teammates alive at all costs. However, it is very easy to save your teammates, and shots from your own blaster do not harm them, so you should easily be able to go through a game without a single teammate dying.
Score-wise, you get 100 points for each percent point you get. You get an extra credit at 10,000 points, then at every 20,000 after that. This large number of credits means that after you get a tiny bit of experience you should be able to make it through the game without a game-over, but nevertheless you will lose lives occasionally. The game is a true classic in the eyes of nearly every gamer who has played it. Pure genius.
No multiplayer or all-range mode feature, though. That's too bad.
This game is much more difficult than SF64. It is almost assured that if you play course 3, you will lose at least two lives, no matter how experienced you are. Trust me. This certainly is one of those controller-throwers. Expect a challenge.
You may want to play to get 100% in every level (let me know if anyone on God's earth ever gets 100% on Fortuna), but the game does not keep high scores, and there is no multiplayer feature. However, the game is so fun that you will be playing for a while.
-Slippy's "voice" is actually bearable!
This game will entertain and challenge you in every way possible. I sold it to a friend for five bucks, but I wanted to play it so bad a year later that I bought it back. If you can find it, go out and buy it, because you'll want to play it through more than once. Certainly one of the top-15 SNES games.


On June 2nd 2012, WAKO-Canada made news headlines in Canadian combative sports.For the first time in Canadian history CKA/CASK received government approval to sanction the WAKO Kickboxing Championship and the first amateur mixed martial arts tournament in Toronto.
The top WAKO Canada officials were trained in refereeing and judging mixed martial arts.Their thorough training and experience in international WAKO events had a tremendous impact in keeping the athletes safe and the tournament organized. With this new development several new Jiu Jitsu and MMA clubs joined the national federation. These new clubs have become actively involved in creating this new combative discipline for amateurs in Canada.
Over 150 athletes from 7 provinces from across Canada participated in this event.The number of mixed martial arts athletes was relatively small compared to the many athletes that competed in the WAKO full contact, light contact, low kick and amateur K1 divisions.
The three-day tournament was held in the downtown International Convention Centre in Toronto, Canada. It was a pleasure to have Ms. Barbara Lyon Steward from the ONTARIO Government attend the entire event.
Saturday's evening finals had top Canadian athletes face each other in all of the kickboxing disciplines.
The main event of the evening featured two North American title bouts between Canadian Champions Anna Shearer and Ross Mylet, and their counterparts from the USA, Lisa Van Ahh and Adam Poor.The Americans both competed in the WAKO World Championship in Ireland in 2011.The USA athletes are part of Rob Zblinski's USA team of the USA Kickboxing Association.
The two countries split the bouts in this continental event.Lisa Van Ahh won a spirited bout against Shearer.Well-respected coach Justin Whiley who has trained a number of top class athletes on the USA national team trains Van Ahh.The American used a technical lead sidekick game to out point her Canadian opponent.
This event was a great opportunity for Canada to prepare their team for the WAKO Pan American Championship in Brazil this coming December.

The Mysterious Fate of the Library of Alexandria
June 18, 2013 Emily Upton	17 comments
Jamie K. asks: What ever happened to the ancient library in Alexandria?
Bibliotheca Alexandrina: The modern Library of Alexandria
Great question! For those not familiar, I'll start with a little background on the subject. The Library of Alexandria was founded by either Ptolemy I or his son, Ptolemy II, sometime in the third century B.C. Libraries were nothing new to ancient civilizations, though places to keep etched clay tablets might not be what we would consider a proper library today. The initial goal of the Library of Alexandria was most likely to flaunt Egypt's enormous wealth rather than provide a place for study and research, but of course the library transformed into something much more.
Charged with collecting the knowledge of the world, many of the workers at the library were busy translating scrolls from "barbarian" languages into Greek. Scrolls were obtained from ancient "book fairs" in Athens and Rhodes. Scrolls from ships that made port were taken to the library and copied. Ptolemy III also borrowed the original manuscripts of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides from Athens. According to Galen, the pharaoh had to pay a hefty price to guarantee that he would return the originals, but Ptolemy III had the scrolls copied and returned the copies. Because much about the library is wrapped in legend, we can't be sure if this is true, or if it was a story told to show the power of Ptolemaic Egypt.
Needless to say, the library's collection was vast, but the knowledge of exactly how many scrolls the library contained at any given point has been lost. Estimations range from 40,000 scrolls to 600,000. We do know that the collection spurred the need for a system of library organization. A precursor to today's library catalogue was developed called Pinakes, or "tablets." The tablets were divided into genre and sorted by the author's name. It's likely that this served as a record of the contents of the library rather than a precise system for finding the scrolls. Scrolls, unlike the books we know today, could not stand up on shelves but lay in heaps, meaning a precise method of organization would be nearly impossible to achieve. Unfortunately, the tablets along with the rest of the library have been lost to fire or time, meaning we have little record of the library's exact contents.
Partially because of the library, Alexandria became a seat of scholarship and learning. Scholars from all over the Hellenistic world were allowed to browse the library. They researched, discovered, and taught. It was at the library that Euclid wrote his groundbreaking work on geometry (much to the distaste of a majority of high school freshmen everywhere); Eratosthenes discovered how to measure the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy; Herophilius learned that the brain controlled thought rather than the heart; and Aristarchus stated that the Earth revolves around the sun—1,800 years before Copernicus. The library represented a blending of cultures and minds and we have it to thank for many of our modern ideas about medicine, astronomy, math, and grammar.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.
To answer your question specifically on what ever happened to the historic library, you'll often hear it disappeared suddenly in a fire, but this probably isn't accurate. What actually happened seems to have been a series of events over time that slowly led to the demise of the library.
More specifically, while there are several reports of fires in Alexandria linked to the destruction of the library, there is no solid historical evidence of the "great fire" believed to have destroyed the entire library. That being said, you'll often hear three names bandied about as the top players in the library's demise: Julius Caesar, Theophilius of Alexandria, and Caliph Omar of Damascus.
Legend has it that Theophilius, Patriarch of Alexandria in 391 A.D., began destroying pagan temples in the name of Christianity. The classical "pagan" scrolls contained in the library would have been a point of contention, as was the Serapeum temple attached to the library. If Theophilius destroyed a library in Alexandria, though, it is thought it was probably the "daughter library' set up by Ptolemy III which contained far fewer scrolls than the historic great library. We do know that one of the rare historic mathematicians, philosophers, and astronomers who was female, Hypatia, was brutally murdered by a religious mob in Alexandria around this time (in 415 A.D.) demonstrating some of the strife between certain scholars and the religious in the region, though many scholars today think her death had more to do with her being caught up in political events than specifically her stance on Christianity.
The story about Caliph Omar is almost certainly made up. In 645 A.D., Omar conquered Egypt and supposedly burned the books in the library because they were not in line with the Koran's teachings. Again, if Omar did burn a library it was probably the one rebuilt at the site of the original daughter library. Most historians think that this story was probably invented in the 12th century, and as with all stories that emerge long after they were said to take place, it should be considered with a grain of salt.
The most likely origin of the "great fire" theory is Julius Caesar's actions during a war with Alexandria. Julius Caesar did set fire to the dockyards of Alexandria as well as the Alexandrine Fleet, which he documented in The Civil Wars. He doesn't say whether or not the fire spread to the library, but it's thought unlikely that it did, despite certain historic accounts. However, scrolls stored in warehouses along the harbour probably burned, and it is very likely that Caesar's men looted the library and took a large number of scrolls back to Rome. Seneca wrote that 40,000 books were destroyed in Caesar's fire, but if this is true, it would have probably been only a portion of the books that the library contained. Later writers, including Strabo and Seutonius, make mention of the museum of which the library was a part, as well as connections to the library scholars. This and other evidence demonstrates that the library survived, at least in part, past Caesar's time—even if it, perhaps, never returned to the peak of its grandeur.
But if the library wasn't destroyed by a fire and the original library isn't standing today, then something must have happened to explain the loss of so much literature. If any one event contributed to the quick demise of the Library of Alexandria, it's unknown to historians, contrary to popular belief. It is thought more likely that mundane things led to the "destruction" of the library, like time taking its toll on the amassed knowledge, with scrolls experiencing wear and tear and falling apart; the librarians at Alexandria faced tough decisions on which scrolls to continue to copy in the face of papyrus shortages. A few conquering emperors took many of the library's works as spoils of war to other parts of the world, dispersing the texts. It's possible religious leaders, taking offense to some of the contents, may have had some of the scrolls destroyed as well, though most historians think this latter factor to be wildly exaggerated. (Particularly around the 17th century on it became in vogue by secular scientists to rail against the ignorance and misguided notions of various religious groups, with Catholics tending to be public enemy number one. As a result, many myths popped up, such as that Medieval Christians thought the world was flat and the like- basically attempts to portray religious people throughout history as mindless mobs burning books and rejecting science at every turn, despite this being quite contrary to actual documented evidence on many of these popular stories.)
Whatever the case, the loss of the knowledge contained in the library is enough to still the heart of many an academic today, particularly with hints of such works as the lost "History of the World" three book set, the "Books of Berosus", written around 290 B.C., and references to other such works that were once there, hinting at how much we've lost.
However, this story does have something of a happy ending. In 2002, another library was built near the site of the original Library of Alexandria. Bibliotecha Alexandrina aims to maintain the spirit of the original library. People from all walks of life are coming together with the aim to preserve knowledge, from rare ancient texts to a science museum to computer systems. Countries from all over the world have sent books in an attempt to rebuild the collection that was lost to history. This time, just in case, the building is virtually fireproof.

Bonus Fact:
The library largely used papyrus for its scrolls and it's thought that it never switched to parchment. It is thought by some historians that the library's use of papyrus may in fact have indirectly caused the creation of parchment. Because so much papyrus was used for the library, exported papyrus was hard to come by, meaning an alternative writing material had to be developed.

You really shouldn't use movies as your source of historical facts.
Simple, ancient christians and other religious cults screwed it up.

Well done Anon, it's like you didn't actually read the article at all. Congratulations for passing over a wonderful bount of information and walking away just as ignorant as you came.
I worked at the Library of Alexandria. I remember being brought there by an older, bearded man. We both wore white, draped clothing. We entered an elevator made of wood and Thoth was already inside. My mentor told me not to look at him, but my first glance took in his great height and his long beak. I don't recall that anyone did anything to make the elevator rise. We walked out onto a balcony and proceeded to a room full of scrolls and small individual work spaces filled by other young men.
This is one of a handful of lucid dreams I have had in my life. People and circumstances I had no previous knowledge of presented in vivid and convincing detail.

The modern library is well worth a visit if you visit Alexandria. It has museums, art galleries, and a planetarium as well.

According to legend, Shiva and Kali got into a dance-off judged by Vishnu. Shiva dropped an earring and picked it up with his foot, a move that Kali could not duplicate, so Shiva won the title Nataraja (Lord of the Dance). It's in this form that endless streams of people come to worship him at this great temple. It was built during Chola times (Chidambaram was a Chola capital), but the main shrines date to at least the 6th century.
The high-walled 22-hectare complex has four towering 12th-century gopurams decked out in ornate Dravidian stone and stucco work. The main entrance is through the east (oldest) gopuram; the 108 sacred positions of classical Tamil dance are carved in its passageway. To your right through the gopuram are the 1000-pillared 12th-century Raja Sabha (King's Hall; open only festival days), with carved elephants, and the large Sivaganga tank.
You enter the central compound (no cameras) from the east. In its southern part (left from the entrance) is the 13th-century Nritta Sabha (Dance Hall), shaped like a chariot with 56 finely carved pillars. Some say this is the spot where Shiva out-danced Kali.
North of the Nritta Sabha, through a door, you enter the inner courtyard, where most temple rituals are performed. Right in front are the attached hutlike, golden-roofed Kanaka Sabha and Chit Sabha (Wisdom Hall). The Chit Sabha, the innermost sanctum, holds the temple's central bronze image of Nataraja – Shiva the cosmic dancer, ending one cycle of creation, beginning another and uniting all opposites. Shiva's invisible 'space' form is also worshipped here.
At puja times devotees crowd into the encircling pavilion to witness rites performed by the temple's hereditary Brahmin priests, the Dikshithars, who shave off some of their hair but grow the rest of it long (thus representing both Shiva and Parvati) and tie it into topknots.
On the south side of the two inner shrines is the Govindaraja Shrine with a reclining Vishnu. Overlooking the tank from the west, the Shivakamasundari Shrine displays fine ochre-and-white 17th-century Nayak ceiling murals.
Priests may offer to guide you around the temple for ₹200 to ₹300. Unusually for Tamil Nadu, this magnificent temple is privately funded and managed, so you may wish to support it by hiring one, but there are no official guides.

Victory in Church Zoning Case
VENTURA, Calif., June 7, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Ventura County Superior Court today dismissed a significant portion of the lawsuit brought by the Dos Vientos Community Preservation Association (Association) and Donald Armstrong, in an attempt to force the city of Thousand Oaks to discriminate against a California church and a non-profit organization.
In Dos Vientos Community Preservation Association v. City of Thousand Oaks, Liberty Counsel represents a nonprofit foundation (Foundation) which purchased a former YMCA building and entered into an agreement to rent it to Godspeak Calvary Chapel Church. The alleged "Association" consisting of a few individuals stated that the church's use has not been cleared under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The plaintiffs argued that the church should not be considered a religious organization entitled to protection under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which requires that religious organizations receive equal treatment as do other organizations in government zoning decisions.
The city and Liberty Counsel argued, and the court now agrees, that CEQA does not apply, and that the plaintiffs missed the deadline to file a claim. The CEQA claim represents about 90 percent of the claim filed by the plaintiffs. The court dismissed it with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. Liberty Counsel will return to court on June 20 for the dismissal hearing on the remaining 10 percent of the claim.
The city supports the church's right to be in the building for religious use and worship. But a few neighbors formed an "Association" and filed suit objecting to a church renting the same facility. Such biased discrimination is often referred to as "Not in my back yard" (NIMBY). The pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel Church is also the mayor of Thousand Oaks. He provided much support and prayer following the tragic shooting last year at a place of entertainment.
The Foundation purchased the building from the YMCA in January 2018. The building is located in a commercial complex that is part of a larger residential and commercial development in the city. The overall development was approved by the city in 2002. The city approved an environmental impact report and development permit as required under CEQA and other state laws. Part of the consideration for approval of the project was that the developer would donate a parcel of land to the local YMCA for it to build a center in the neighborhood. The YMCA built and operated a center before it closed in December 2017. The YMCA then sold the property, including the building, to the Foundation, which intends to make minor changes and then allow Calvary Chapel to use the facility.
The Foundation applied for the necessary permits from the city, which determined that no new environmental review was required under CEQA because there would only be minor changes to the property, and the use of the property for a church, like the use of the property for a YMCA, is permitted in that commercial zoning.
"We are pleased that the Ventura County Superior Court dismissed the major portion of this frivolous lawsuit against a Christian church," said Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel. "It is a violation of the law to welcome a YMCA but refuse a church. We are thankful that the city of Thousand Oaks supports the church and that the court ruled in our favor. We look forward to the full dismissal of this case this month," said Staver.

Whole Spice Co., (707) 256-0700. Ronit and Shuli Madmone of Novato, second-generation spice merchants, have created an elegant little bazaar of 300 fresh spices and seasonings such as truffle salt and three types of cinnamon, available in bulk or prepackaged in labeled jars. They create their own blends at their processing plant in Petaluma as well as frequently searching the world looking for new items. Their bestseller is Zhug, a savory, hot blend of chili Tianjin, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, cardamom, clove and cilantro that can be mixed with olive oil to make a dipping sauce or used as a dry rub on meats.
Fatted Calf Charcuterie, (707) 256-3684.

Pica Pica Maize Kitchen, (707) 251-3757. Owner-founder Adriana Lopez Vermut, born in Venezuela, has opened the first of what she hopes will be a chain of Bay Area-based Venezuelan sandwich shops selling the popular street food of her native country – arepas and cachapas. Arepas are pita-shaped breads of corn flour stuffed with assorted fillings such as chicken salad with avocado or sweet-and-spiced shredded beef with deep-fried plantains and black bean paste, then grilled to a smoking crustiness. Cachapas are large sweet-corn pancakes that can be packed with cheese, ham or spiced beef and griddled until hot. Other dishes include maize-wich sandwiches, deep-fried plantain, yucca, salads and soups.
Rotisario, (707) 226-7700. Thomas Odermatt, the Swiss-born entrepreneur who has gained a following for his Roli Roti roast chickens sold at Bay Area farmers markets, now runs this little restaurant in Oxbow as well. Roast chicken is still a specialty, but he also sells Italian-style porchetta, citrus-basted pork loin cooked on the rotisserie so the meat is juicy and the skin crackles like the crust on creme brulee. Both meat and skin are layered on an Acme ciabatta roll or Della Fattoria bread with caramelized onion and fresh wild arugula from Star Route Farms to make what may be the best pork sandwich in the Bay Area.
Taylor's Automatic Refresher, (707) 224-6900. There are almost always lines for this popular American restaurant (including one outside St. Helena and one at Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco) known for serving fresh American classic dishes such as hamburgers, hot dogs, onion rings and milkshakes at high speed. Most of the ingredients are local, and the beef for the burgers comes from Five Dot Ranch.
Hog Island Oyster Co. is slated to debut this autumn. Tomales Bay's nationally famous oyster farm will feature a restaurant and store with a raw bar as well as barbecued oysters and other dishes, with a view out to the Napa River.
Kanaloa Seafood is expected to open in May. Based in Santa Barbara and in the seafood distribution business since 1983, Kanaloa is owned by biologist Don Disraeli and Randee Disraeli, a former researcher at Scripps Institute of Oceanography. They've cultivated a global network of seafood suppliers from Alaska to New Zealand. Their full-service seafood market will specialize in sustainably fished produce, emphasizing locally caught seafood.
Ritual Coffee Roasters, launched in San Francisco's Mission District in 2005, will open in May. The company is known for its fresh-roasted, high-quality beans, espresso drinks, pastries and experienced baristas who must attend a barista training camp.

After research on the chemical compound BPA revealed that it could affect fertility, cancer rates, and even obesity, consumers revolted by demanding safer products. BPA had been incorporated into plastic baby bottles, water bottles, toddler sippy cups, plastic food trays, and even in the epoxy lining of food cans. We wanted it out!
The good news is, we do have better options.
BPA stands for Bisphenol-A. It's a chemical compound used to manufacture reusable plastic food and beverage containers, including bottles, cans, cash register receipts and the trays and cartons that take-out and microwaveable food come in.
BPA causes problems for two big reasons.
It's what's called a "hormone disrupter." It mimics the natural estrogen we make, which can confuse our bodies into going seriously haywire.
BPA is hard to avoid because it so easily leaches into what we drink and eat. We have a tendency to think plastic is almost indestructible. Not so. When exposed to warm or high temperatures – like those in a microwave, or even the heat exuded from warm or hot food – BPA can migrate out of the plastic and into our drinks or meal.
To be sure, the amount of BPA that we end up consuming at any one time is pretty small. But that's irrelevant, because the way hormones work, it only takes a teeny-tiny amount to have an impact. And of course over time, those amounts build up to have a greater cumulative effect.
When companies rushed to get rid of BPA, they didn't replace their plastic products with something that doesn't leach at all, like stainless steel or glass. They mostly replaced the "A" in BPA formulations with similar bisphenol compounds that research indicates could be as bad or worse, including BP-F and BP-S. So even though BPA-free products don't contain the A, they still contain the polyphenols that cause hormonal "estrogenic activity" (EA), asserts Dr. George Bittner, who is also founder of the testing company, CertiChem.
And yes, you guessed it, products that contain BPA-free compounds nevertheless leach. CertiChem found that 70 percent of products that are BPA-free leach EA chemicals into beverages and food.
Meanwhile, another company decided to forgo both BP and A, F, and S by creating a compound called Tritan (tritan copolyester). This plastic is used by Nalgene, Rubbermaid and Tupperware, among others and is free of all the bisphenols. However CertiChem has also found that one of Tritan's ingredients, triphenyl phosphate, is "just as bad as BPA," reports Prevention magazine.
This is all very frustrating. We want to make the best possible choices for our families. And plastic can be so convenient! It's cheap, it doesn't shatter, it doesn't weigh very much, and it's available everywhere.

ABSTRACT: This introductory talk at the Cosmic Questions conference (presented by Joel Primack) summarized some earlier pictures of the universe and some pictures based on modern physics and cosmology.
Today cosmologists are telling each other at every conference that this is the golden age - or at least a golden age - of cosmology. It is a tremendously successful period because we are seeing the death of so many theories! Back in 1984 George Blumenthal, Sandra Faber, Martin Rees, and I published a paper in which we described the theory of "cold dark matter" and worked out two versions of it in some detail. A couple of years later Jon Holtzman, a student with Sandra Faber and me, worked out 96 different variants of the cold dark matter scenario. Now, I am proud to say, all but one of them are pretty convincingly ruled out. But the one that is left (which is closely related to one of the two in our original paper) may actually be right. That is fantastic progress!
Now as we are trying to put together a picture of the whole universe, its origin, evolution, structure, and future - that is what cosmology is all about - the question arises whether this has any broader implications. Does it matter to people as people, and not just as cosmologists (or other kinds of scientists)? I think it does, but that is for you to decide. I hope this Cosmic Questions volume helps.
What I am going to do in the rest of this paper is to try to explain cosmology, not in a technical way, but rather through stories and pictures, especially pictures. That is the way most people throughout history have experienced cosmology. Not as a series of scientific theories that are put forward as hopeful explanations to be tested against data - which is what we do as professional cosmologists - but rather as an understanding that one can grasp and visualize: a picture.
The joke about cosmology used to be that it was the only field of science in which the ratio of theory to data was infinite. But now the situation is reversed, and the ratio has gone to almost zero. Today data is flowing in so fast from new instruments that the question is whether a single one of the current theories can survive. If one theory survives the present onslaught of data, it will be revolutionary.
The advent of a new cosmology can radically change the culture of its time. In particular, the scientific revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries helped end the Middle Ages and bring about the European Enlightenment. But it also split scientific knowledge from human meaning, which was at the time largely determined by religion. How will a new picture of the universe at the turn of the 21st century affect global culture? That is one of the questions explored in this Cosmic Questions volume.

Effectiveness and Adherence of Telephone-Administered Psychotherapy
Castro, A., Gili, M., Ricci-Cagello, I., Roca, M., Gilbody, S., Perez-Ara, A., Segui, A., & McMillan, D. (2020). Effectiveness and adherence of telephone-administered psychotherapy for depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of Affective Disorders, 260, 514-526.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in psychotherapy providers moving to online and telephone-delivered interventions. But questions remain about the efficacy of delivering psychotherapy in these formats to patients with depression. Depression is highly prevalent as it affects about 320 million people around the world and causes serious disability and lowered quality of life. Psychotherapy is effective in treating depression, however there are significant barriers to people accessing face-to-face psychotherapy including cost, stigma, distance, and disability. Telephone-delivered psychotherapy may minimize these barriers. One potential question that may arise is whether patients will adhere to telephone-delivered psychotherapy. That is, will patients find telephone sessions acceptable as indicted by the rate of starting therapy and of attending sessions? In this systematic review and meta-analysis, Castro and colleagues evaluated whether telephone-delivered psychotherapy for depression is as effective as other active treatments and more effective than no-treatment. The authors also examined the level of adherence/acceptability to telephone administered treatment, determined by the percent of scheduled sessions actually attended by a patient. The sample of studies was small such the authors only found a total of 11 direct comparison randomized controlled trials. These trials represented almost 1400 patients. The only treatment tested in these trials were CBT-oriented. Four studies found that telephone-delivered therapy produced significantly larger reductions in depressive symptoms when compared to no treatment controls (mean SMD = -0.48; 95% CI: -0.82 to -0.14). In four other studies telephone-administered therapy was just as effective as an active control (e.g., medication or self-help). The weighted average percentage of scheduled telephone sessions that patients attended was 73%, and the percent of patients who started telephone therapy after the initial referral was about 90%. These percentages indicating adherence and acceptability are similar to findings reported from individual psychotherapy studies.
There are few randomized controlled trials that assess the efficacy of telephone-administered psychotherapy, and these studies were limited to only one type of intervention. However, the findings from this meta-analysis suggested that telephone-delivered psychotherapy may be efficacious and as effective as some other active treatments. Further, telephone therapy may be acceptable to patients in that they start and attend sessions at a rate similar to face-to-face therapy. These preliminary findings provide clinicians who provide telephone psychotherapy during this period of physical distancing due to COVID-19 with some evidence for the utility of telephone delivered treatment.
Therapist Interpersonal Skills Account for Patient Outcomes
Schottke, H., Fluckiger, C., Goldberg, S.B., Eversmann, & Lange, J. (2016). Predicting psychotherapy outcome based on therapist interpersonal skills: A five-year longitudinal study of a therapist assessment protocol. Psychotherapy Research, DOI: 0.1080/10503307.2015.1125546
Therapist effects, or differences between therapists, account for an important amount of patient outcomes (i.e., 5% to 7%). Two therapist characteristics most consistently proposed as predictors of patient outcomes are: therapist competence/adherence to a treatment manual, and therapist interpersonal skills. A recent meta analysis found that therapist adherence or competence were not significantly related to patient outcomes. However, there has been very little research on therapists' interpersonal capacities. These capacities might include factors like: empathy, warmth, ability to respond well to patient hostility, sensitivity to interpersonal process in therapy, and ability to address alliance ruptures. In this paper, Schottke and colleagues (2016) conducted a five year study with 41 therapists and 264 patients in which they assessed the impact of therapist interpersonal skills on patient outcomes. The therapists were all post-graduate trainees and who practiced a manual oriented cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or psychodynamic therapy (PDT). The patients were adults mainly treated for depression, and many had co-morbid problems. What was unique about the study is that the therapist interpersonal skill was rated before they received formal training, and the rating were done by trained reliable judges. The judges rated the therapist trainees on interpersonal skills including: clear and positive communication, empathy, warmth, managing criticism, and willingness to cooperate. Patients were assessed pre- and post-treatment on general symptom outcomes. Higher therapist interpersonal skills were reliably associated with better patient outcomes, even after controlling for symptoms severity and number of comorbid diagnoses. In this study, therapist interpersonal capacities measured before receiving formal training and supervision was a significant predictor of patient outcomes after training was initiated.
The findings of this study indicate that therapists' talent should in part be characterized by interpersonal competencies that include clear communication, empathy, respectful management of criticism, warmth, and willingness to cooperate. It could be that therapist trainees with high interpersonal skills engage in an extensive degree of deliberate practice that may account for better patient outcomes.

Uzi does not get contract renewed with RNG
RNG benches Uzi during LPL 2020 Spring Split due to injuries
Future uncertain for Uzi's professional League career.
Uzi, widely regarded as one of the best AD carries in the world, is now a free agent. An update to Riot's Esports Global Contract Database shows that Uzi's contract has not been renewed. The star player's contract expired on 30th April and RNG and Uzi are yet to put out an official statement regarding him leaving or even an extension. So for now, he's a free agent.
Uzi's Legacy
Since the beginning of his career in 2013, Uzi has been in form. Barring a small drop in 2015, he was carrying games even when his teammates failed to perform. RNG's 2018 MSI matches are a testament to the kind of player he is. He displayed his god-like mechanics in matches against tough competitors in the LPL, an aggressive league full of mechanically proficient players. Even in matches against KZ and PraY-Gorilla he dominated with undeniable lane presence. He was the only player who had over 2000 kills in all leagues by 2018 and the first player to reach 3,000 career kills. This record went unbroken till 2020 until Rookie's pentakill brought his total up to 3,150, nine more kills than Uzi (3,141).
RNG managed to qualify for the playoffs, coming in 7th during the LPL Spring Split 2020. However, they finished dead last on the leaderboard. An unfit Uzi has been benched the whole of LPL this year. He opened up about his injuries in a documentary produced by the LPL and Nike, about lack of practice owing to his condition. A professional had told him that his arms were similar to that of a "40 to 50 year old."
It is unclear what the future holds for Uzi's career and it's possible that RNG doesn't wish to keep him for the Summer Split. The extent of his injuries may force the star player to retire from professional League of Legends.
