Pizza is the world's most popular takeaway dish: Report
When it comes to convenience of takeout, pizza is king.
Globally, the Italian dish was found to be the most popular Google search among online users who looked up takeout options in 2020, according to a report from British insurance comparison company MoneyBeach.
GRUBHUB'S 'YEAR IN FOOD' DATA SHOWS AMERICANS HAD UNEXPECTED PIZZA CRAVINGS IN 2020
The report analyzed Google search data in 109 countries, and "pizza takeaway" was the top food-related query people entered throughout 44 nations. Pizza was a top takeout search in its home country of Italy as well as Barbados, Argentina, Morocco and India, among many others.

North Calgary residents get first glimpse at North Hill growth plan
Nathan Hawryluk, director of planning for the Renfrew Community Association, provides some of his feedback at the City of Calgary's public information session on the North Hill Local Growth Plan. DARREN KRAUSE / LIVEWIRE CALGARY
Citizens got their first look at the big picture being developed for north Calgary and many attendees appreciated having all the city business units under one roof.
The City of Calgary held a public information session at James Fowler High School Saturday to deliver the initial vision for the North Hill Communities local growth plan, a new type of planning format that has individual communities grouped together geographically to create an area redevelopment regime for that region of the city.
Previously the city would create an area redevelopment plan focused on one or two communities.

Calgary community vision plans one part of larger established area redevelopment
The communities involved in the North Hill plan are: Tuxedo Park, Mount Pleasant, Highland Park, Winston Heights – Mountainview, Crescent Heights, Renfrew, Rosedale, Thorncliffe Greenview and Rosedale. They're centred around four Calgary main streets: 4 Street NW, Edmonton Trail, Centre Street and 16 Avenue.
It was the first trade-show style engagement the city's done on a project of this type. Many of the city's departments that will have a hand in the future growth of established communities were there to answer Calgarians' questions related to the overall vision.
Troy Gonzalez, the City of Calgary senior planner spearheading the North Hill project, said the first phase of the project was working with area stakeholders and community groups to come up with a plan that demonstrated the top-level vision for what's next in the area. Phase 2 is delivering that vision to area residents for feedback.
Gonzalez said redevelopment pressures are building in these north Calgary communities and they felt it was a good time to bring all of them together to come up with a unified vision on how to move forward.
"Rather than pitting one community against the other and drawing lines – typically community lines tend to go down these main streets – what we're trying to do is flip that around and say these main streets are actually… that's the glue that kind of holds these communities together," he said.
"The idea is recognizing the connections between these communities rather than trying to do a community specific plan that doesn't really capture that."

Gonzalez said the feedback logged at this information session – and through their online engagement portal – will be catalogued and applied to the next iteration of the plan.
He said they understand that with nine communities there could be different voices and even within each community the perspectives can vary.
"Planning can be a bit of a messy process and the idea here is to have as broad a conversation with a big swath of different types of stakeholders."

Renfrew resident Dennis Laird said he liked the approach of having all the city departments under one roof for this one-stop-shop on the North Hill plan. He said it provides an opportunity to see the bigger picture for how this plan would take shape rather than individual community one offs.
"I honestly think this approach is amazing because you can easily hop from one area to another and learn about the plan and get a lot of information in a short amount of time," he said.
Laird said he also favours the local area planning as many residents in the nearby community share a common vision.
"I think we have to understand that these community organizations do not operate separately, they actually work together, so I think it's an amazing idea to see actual growth within a region, not just within a community," he said.
Laird came in with an open mind on what to expect, but he has a firm grasp on what he'd like to see for the area.
"Smart growth, simple as that," Laird said.
Nathan Hawryluk, also a Renfrew resident, and director of planning for the Renfrew Community Association, said he also really liked the big picture approach taken by the city. It was easy to gather information on a number of different areas at once.
"Plus, it's probably good for the city departments to talk together, too," he said.
Feedback that comes from the public information session will be used to draft the first land use concept, Gonzalez said. They expect to have a final version to deliver to the city's planning and urban development committee by the end of 2019.

The Moly settles at the bottom of the container and needs agitated or shaken up, before you apply the drislide. Once the moly is agitated and now suspended in the mineral spirits, the mineral spirits carries the moly across the application (metal service). The mineral spirits will evaporate in 10-15 minutes, leaving behind a nice thin layer of dry moly film, that has bonded to the metal service and will stay there to lubricant longer then other lubricants. And the best part about the drislide is that it will not collect dust, dirt or other airborne particles, and it repels moisture.

Where to find the sheds in Toledo
In Toledo, a shed is a construction at a certain height, which serves to communicate two buildings. Centuries ago it was a way to avoid going out into the street, but they were banned in the time of Juana I of Castile, many of them disappearing. We will tell you where to locate the ones that are left. These are the sheds of Toledo.
Imagine the streets of Toledo in a cold winter night, darkness and fog… You walk aimlessly looking for the famous sheds of Toledo, in solitude. You won't find a soul, although the memory of the many that have inhabited the ancient city is felt in the stones. You turn a corner and the image is overwhelming. It looks like a journey back in time to the 15th or 16th century. A faint light illuminates a high passageway that connects two buildings, on the narrow street. It is the shed of Santo Domingo el Real, dimly lit. Just a modern red traffic light breaks the magic and feeling of being in the 21st century (that's something the City Council should solve)
Shed of Santo Domingo el Real, in Toledo, during the night
You expect to see some cloaked knight and a sword shining in the scant light of the night appear far below the shed… Or a knight on the way from a distant battle to liberate the lands of the south…
Photo: Eduardo Salas (see web)
They are the magical sheds of Toledo . Old constructions that join two buildings belonging to the same property, to avoid that their owners have to go out to the street. It was common for them to join the possessions of a convent (which grew by donations made by powerful nobles of adjoining houses as a dowry or donation, for example so that their daughters could enter the Convent)
It is also necessary to differentiate between shed and passageway . A shed in Toledo is usually not just a " passage" between two buildings, as they are sometimes very large and contain rooms or more rooms, gaining private land to the public (the street that passes underneath) given the scarcity of land in the old town. Also in Toledo there are passages built in height that communicate two buildings, being a simple corridor more or less wide, like the one of the photo that joins the Archbishop's Palace with the Cathedral, the " arch of palace" :

A little bit of history about the Toledo sheds
Shed of Santo Domingo el Real
Shed of Santa Clara
Shed of Saint Peter Martyr
Maid's Shelter
It was Queen Juana I of Castile (La Loca) around 1509 who decided to prohibit the proliferation of these sheds, as it was leaving many streets of Toledo without daylight (and less nightlight), in addition to the serious health conditions they caused, with the accumulation of waste (imagine the terrible smell). Also for the possibilities of refuge and ambush place for the malefactors who lurked in these dark corners of the city.
When building a shed, it was necessary to do it " at such a height that the cavalier can pass over it with his weapons"
Izquierdo Benito, Ricardo (1996): " La Escuela de Traductores de Toledo" .
A little later in that century, a corregidor ordinance set the minimum height the sheds should have, being that of a knight ridden with his weapons. Thus, the owners who did not reach these measures, had to demolish or raise their sheds. In some cases, such as the Santa Clara shed, it was lowered, chopping the rock to comply with the regulations (see note at the end of this article)
Photo sheds of Toledo. Eduardo Salas (visit his website)
These sheds used to have images or crosses with lanterns to give a bit of company to places so unclear, about which the romantics of the nineteenth century were remarkably interested. (" La Casa Toledana" RABACHT, 62-63)
I'm sure you're also interested: This street is in Toledo
We will briefly detail below the few sheds that can be visited in Toledo:
Shed of Santo Domingo el Real, by O. Utri11a
Actually this shed belongs to the convent of Santa Clara, but the street is known as belonging to Santo Domingo el Real, which is the convent founded in 1364 with license from Pedro I " the Cruel" . It is the longest shed of those that remain and at night it is an authentic experience to walk, in solitude, through these streets.
Shed of Santa Clara in Toledo. O. Utri11a
In this case the passageway belonged to the palace of the Rivera, lords of Valdepusa and Malpica. It did not belong, as is thought, to the convent of Santa Clara. It is here where you can see the lower part to which the street was subjected, chopping the stone probably made around 1568, to facilitate the passage under the shed and to derive rainwater.
Shed of San Pedro Mártir (Toledo) by O. Utri11a
It is in the street of the same name, being one of the accesses to the university building known as San Pedro Mártir. It already existed, according to Porres in his History of the Streets of Toledo, around 1694, in which a lamp is endowed in it to illuminate an image of the Virgin of Solitude that, apparently, was there. The current shed is more modern, built in 1740 near the porter's lodge of what used to be the monastery. It is divided into two parts, the second being from 1751.
Shed of Doncellas (Toledo)
Old shed that goes down to the College of Noble Maidens, founded in 1551 by Cardinal Siliceo, destined to form future mothers. The shed belongs to the house that in 1780 belonged to the Marquis of Villagarcía, Count of Torrejón. It has threatened ruin on several occasions since ancient times and almost collapsed in 1854, according to Julio Porres, but remained standing. It is one of the few remaining sheds that join civil buildings. A little further down, in this same street, we find a metal passage that joins the Colegio de Doncellas with a building that today belongs to the regional administration.

By mid level, column size is not a good factor for scaling. If a caster with a 4 column fights a caster with a 12 column, it's still anybody's game – the first caster to land two consecutive spells before the opponent can cast a protective will win.
Keep celestial casters in mind when building monsters. Their class is most effective when the monsters have lower amounts of body and are vulnerable to a certain element. If your monsters seem to be getting constantly spelled down by take-outs, it is better to grant specific defenses such as return vs mystic force or return vs imprison than general purpose return magics or <effect> shields.
Use return magic instead of resist magic wherever possible. Because casters can actually run out of things they can do, it's very frustrating to have your limited resources consumed by spell resistance. Returns, like lesser parries (described under Scaling for Melee) increase the individual monster's difficulty without severely draining the player's resources.
NPCs should only throw take-out spells when fighting mid or higher level groups. Death and Imprison spells should be very limited in use, generally only used by elite monsters or in "high danger" situations.
Reduced Damage: Monsters which take half damage from melee attacks are best targeted by spell casters.
The rate at which opponents respawn impacts the difficulty of the encounter.
Player Triggered Respawn: (easiest) the opponents respawn when the players decide to "move forward". This is the easiest way to encounter opponents, as the party has as much time as it needs to organize and prepare for the next encounter.
Interval Respawn: (easy to medium) the opponents respawn as a group at certain intervals. Usually there is a bit of downtime between each wave, allowing players time to refit armor and resolve status effects. Monsters will be able to make effective use of teamwork, healing, and coordinated attacks, potentially increasing the difficulty of the encounter.
Popcorn Respawn: (medium to hard) opponents respawn instantly after they've died. Each NPC is usually given a time limit or finite number of lives. These types of encounters result in constant pressure on the party, making it challenging to heal the wounded or refit armor. Due to the staggered respawning, monsters will tend to be in smaller groups when they engage the players.
Carrier attacks will only work if they pierce the target's armor. As such, monsters with carrier attacks do not need to deal as high melee damage as other monsters.
Unlimited Use – A creature with unlimited use of a carrier attack may choose to call it on every weapon swing.
Single Use – A creature with a single use carrier attack may choose to call the effect on one swing only.
Resolution: Because it takes spell power to resolve wounds from a monster with a carrier attack, this ability can drain player resources very quickly. As such, they should be used sparingly. After an encounter involving carrier attacks, players will need to resolve status effects, refit armor, and recast protectives. As such, carrier attacks are easier to resolve if the monsters attack in waves, (rather than a continuous trickle).
Weak Carrier Attacks: Weak carrier attacks can be resolved by a 4th level or lower spell, or will go away on their own. This includes disease, pin, fear, and bind.
Strong Carrier Attacks: Greater carrier attacks include take-out effects and effects which are resolved by 5th or higher level spells. This includes wither, web, paralyze, taint blood, and sleep.
Other than takedowns, there are plenty of things that NPCs can do with Packets. These might be minor effects like fear, pin, and disarm, or they could simply be elemental damage. The strength of packet delivered attacks is the fact that they cannot be stopped, and almost every point of damage will be delivered to a player (except for misses).
While these things are perfectly fine for use in controlled situations, modules with a large amount of resets for lesser NPCs with packet attacks can quickly go south, even if the rest of the module was scaled appropriately.
As a rule of thumb, lesser NPCs should be given the same amount of packet attacks as the average player level. The level of a packet attack is either the level of the spell effect or the damage divided by 10 (10 elemental <element> is level 1, etc). The lower the level of the PCs, the better it is to lean on effects rather than pure damage.
If you plan on having the NPCs continue to reset until a boss is killed, consider giving them a pool of packet attacks that they can access for the entire module, as well as a limit on how many they can throw per respawn. That way, bad NPCs won't suicide themselves after they throw their packets, so they can respawn and do it again.
Example: A group of low level adventurers (APL 10) stumble into a spider cave. They decide to engage the queen that's sleeping on a pile of treasure, and when they do, hundreds of spiders decend from the ceiling. Lesser spiders will continue to respawn until the queen is dead.
Since the APL is 10, each spider has a pool of 10 levels of packet attack they can access, but they are only allowed to throw a single packet per spawn. They can choose to use Physical Entangle your leg (level 2), Physical Entangle your body (level 5), or 10 physical acid (level 1). Once they've depleted their pool of attacks, they're stuck meleeing the group, possibly with a lesser carrier attack.
For purposes of this document, low level is defined as anything below level 10. A low level party may have access to a very limited number of life spells, and cannot use cantrips.
In low level groups, PCs focused on melee damage will generally swing 8 damage or lower. Templars will usually swing between 3s and 5s. Characters will have a maximum of 25 body points, though most will have 10 or less.
Carrier attacks: A low level group has difficulty resolving carrier attacks. If carrier attacks are used, stick to lesser effects, and single use or critical use attacks.
For purposes of this document, mid level is defined as levels 11-25. A mid level party may have access to multiple life spells, and can spend resources to get more power via cantrips or formal magic.
In mid level groups, PCs focused on melee damage will generally swing 15 damage or lower. Templars will usually swing between 4s and 7s. Characters will have a maximum of 50 body points, though most will have 20-30.
Carrier attacks: A mid level group can handle a few creatures having unlimited use of lesser carrier attacks (such as pin, bind, fear & disease). Greater carrier attacks such as wither, web, paralyze, taint blood, and sleep may be deployed in single-use or as a critical attack.
For purposes of this document, high level is defined as levels 25+. A high level party has access to many ways to resolve status any status effect including death. Fighters will often swing 15s or 20s. A well positioned rouge will be capable of unleashing hundreds of points of damage in a few backstabs.
In high level groups, PCs focused on melee damage will generally swing 15-20 damage. Templars will usually swing between 5s and 10s. Characters could have 60 or 80 body, but most will have less than 30.
Carrier attacks: A high level group can handle unlimited use of lesser carrier attacks. Dangerous carrier attacks such as wither, web, paralyze, taint blood, and sleep may be used more commonly.
Mixed level groups are the hardest to scale for, especially if there is a large level disparity. The goal is to make sure every player has something to do in the fight.
Damage Cap: Damage caps are a good tool for mixed level groups as they put fighters and templars of disparate levels on the same footing. If a monster has cap 5 and 25 body, you can be sure it will take 5 swings to kill it whether the players are swinging 5s or 20s.
Threshold / Immune to <damage type>: Monsters with a damage threshold, or monsters which are silver/magic to hit are best targeted by characters who can beat that threshold or immunity. These abilies are best used to create monsters which must be targeted by spell casters or higher level fighters. Whenever abilities like these are used, you must also include creatures who can be affected by the remaining characters. Avoid situations where certain characters have nothing to do in a given fight. For example, never stat every single monster on a module to be magic-to-hit.
Large groups have a wide variety of resources at their disposal. The advice for scaling for mixed level groups also applies. Dynamic encounters may be slightly be more complex, but be sure to explain the encounter's objectives to everybody in advance.
When creating encounters for large groups, use a variety of different monster types. The majority of the monsters should be melee types, but also be sure to include ranged and rogue opponents. Large groups may have to contend with occasional boss-type monsters as well.
A boss fight is a dramatic encounter, often the climax of an adventure or battle. As such, they should be memorable and exciting. This is the time to bust out the best props, costume, lighting, music or sound effects you have available.
Generally, it is better to use a group of bosses than an single tough opponent. This maximizes the number of players who can feel heroic for defeating a boss.
Bosses are generally are what players save their really powerful skills for, so boss types should have multiple resistances to take-out effects. They should have take-out or escape effects of their own which they use to avoid being surrounded or overwhelmed. Bosses are most effective when fighting in concert with a complimentary class such as a healer (for melee bosses) or a fighter (for packet slinging bosses).
Boss fights are great opportunities for dynamic encounters. Perhaps the boss can only be slain under certain conditions, or must be defeated multiple times. Perhaps he splits into several aspects which must be defeated in different places or by different groups.

The third pillar of the EU external aviation policy is the launching of targeted negotiations seeking to achieve global agreements in the major regions of the world, with the aim of market access and strengthening the prospects for ensuring fair competition in the most dynamic world markets, while at the same time helping to reform international civil aviation and promoting European regulations and industry.
The Commission, working with EU Member States, has identified a number of major partners with which the EU has a significant aviation interest. In all cases, negotiation at EU level seeks to deliver significant added value over bilateral agreements by securing a comprehensive regulatory framework for the operation of enhanced commercial opportunities that benefit the industry and its users (passengers and cargo-shippers) alike.
Groundbreaking agreements have already been concluded with the United States in 2007 and in June 2010 (the so-called "first" and "second stage" agreements).
An ambitious agreement was signed with Canada in 2009. It establishes a genuine open aviation area between the EU and Canada, and creates far-reaching possibilities for the reciprocal opening up in terms of investments. It also establishes a platform for close regulatory coordination on all the aspects of air transport policy.
Norway and Iceland acceded to the agreement in 2011.
In March 2011, a comprehensive aviation agreement was finalised with Brazil, but is currently subject to renegotiation. Negotiations are ongoing with a number of other major worldwide partners.
The agreements that the European Commission negotiates on behalf of the EU and its Member States do not limit themselves to the so-called "open skies" models entailing mere opening up of markets: the EU model also seeks the establishment of a process of liberalisation of ownership of airlines and a process of regulatory convergence in matters of safety and security, competition, environment, passengers protection, labour, etc. - which could not be obtained at national levels.

American Handball (auch court handball bzw. in den Vereinigten Staaten nur handball genannt) ist eine dem englischen Spiel Fives ähnliche Ballsportart; beide werden im Gegensatz zu Squash ohne Schläger, sondern mit Handschuhen oder bloßen Händen gespielt. In Schottland und Irland (Gaelic Handball) ist das Spiel seit dem 15. Jahrhundert bekannt.

Ähnlich dem Squash kann das Spielfeld aus vier Wänden und dem Boden bestehen. Es gibt aber auch one-wall- und three-wall- Versionen. Der Ball ist 1⅞ Zoll im Durchmesser groß und 2,3 Unzen (71,54 Gramm) schwer. Zum Schutz der Hände werden oft Handschuhe getragen. Es wird gespielt einer-gegen-einen, doubles (zwei gegen zwei) oder als "cut-throat" (Halsabschneider) mit drei Spielern, die dauernd rotieren (server-gegen-zwei).

Bei four-wall wird der Ball von einer Mannschaft gegen die Vorderwand aufgeschlagen. Der Ball muss über die Anschlaglinie gehen, bevor er abprallt. Von dort darf er dann nur noch eine Seitenwand treffen. Es kann direkt zurückgeschlagen werden oder er darf einmal vom Boden abprallen, bevor er zurückgespielt wird. Die Erwiderung muss entweder die Vorderwand treffen, oder falls es eine Hinterwand gibt, von dort zur Vorderwand prallen ohne Dach oder Seitenwände zu treffen.

Das Spielfeld ist 20 Fuß (6,10 Meter) breit, 20 Fuß hoch und 40 Fuß (12,0 Meter) lang.

American Handball ist physisch extrem fordernd und ein sehr guter Fitnesssport, der den ganzen Körper trainiert.

Originally created in the 1960s to protect and conceal skin post-surgery, beauty or blemish balms, or "B.B. creams," grew to become one of the top-selling cosmetic products in Asia before making their mark in the U.S. So what do they do? A better question to ask is, "What DON'T they do?"
I scream, you scream, we all scream for B.B. creams. These useful emulsions have been the talk of the town lately, but what exactly are they?
Originally created in the 1960s to protect and conceal skin post-surgery, beauty or blemish balms, or "B.B. creams," grew to become one of the top-selling cosmetic products in Asia before making their mark in the U.S.
So what do they do? A better question to ask is, "What DON'T they do?" B.B. creams are the ultimate skin multi-tasker.
B.B. creams are meant to replace serums, moisturizers, primers, foundations and sunblocks with an all-in-one treatment that nourishes and protects skin. Consider them a hybrid of tinted moisturizer and foundation that improves your skin with prolonged use.
Best for those who like a luminous and dewy finish, this multi-benefit B.B. cream serves as a primer, tinted moisturizer with SPF while nourishing your skin with anti-aging ingredients. Available in four shades, this can be used alone or under foundation.
Perfect for both sensitive skin and oily complexions, this product is magic in a tube packing a powerful five-in-one formula. Works well as a moisturizer, primer, oil control & SPF while evening out your skin tone to create the perfect canvas.
If you are going the drugstore route, this is your best bet! This B.B. cream does an incredible job at hydrating and brightening your face. Provides light coverage that is buildable without feeling heavy. Ideal for the harsh winter months because it creates a protective shield that retains moisture. For a flawless look use a stipple brush for application and set with a bit of powder.
If you are looking for medium coverage with a matte finish, this option from Stila is for you. Great for hiding imperfections such as redness, large pores & wrinkles. Don't be intimidated by the one-shade-fits-all feature. It will perfectly blend to match any skin tone.
This Korean B.B. cream doesn't settle into fine lines, supplies your skin with constant moisture and its full coverage seems to magically makes scarring, acne and uneven skin tone disappear. While it's best on fair skin, it also works on olive skin tones with a bit of powder and bronzer.


Lyon vs Monaco match preview for the Ligue One fixture, written by experienced sports betting expert.
The match between Lyon and Monaco is the last game of round 18 in Ligue One. The Kids are on fourth place in the standings, but just three points behind the second team in the league – Lille. Bruno Génésio and his team had a tough away game in the Champions League versus Shakhtar Donetsk. The match ended as a 1-1 draw, but Lyon qualified for next phase of the competition.

Their two wins were away from home versus Caen and Amiens.
Lyon are far from their best performance and in their results prevail draws. The Kids conceded many goals and had just one clean sheet in the previous nine fixtures in all competitions. Monaco are showing improvement, and we think that they can score a goal, even if they don't win the match. I will back Both Teams to Score, with Lyon 2-1 Correct Score.
Lyon have four wins and two defeats in the previous six matches versus Monaco. Both teams have scored at least once in these matches. The last game between both sides was in February and ended as a 3-2 win for Monaco.

In five of the previous five away games of Monaco were scored under 2.5 goals.
The Monégasques have won two of the last five fixtures in the league after the team couldn't win a game in the previous 12.
Radamel Falcao is involved in 50% of all goals of Monaco in Ligue One this season (seven goals, one assist).

Since its opening in 2008, all BGMS students have been introduced to Robotics in the Technology Education curriculum utilizing Lego NXT Mindstorms robots. These robots have provided the students with training in STEM subjects and computer science needed to be successful in the 21st century.
These LEGO NXT units have served beyond their intended capacity and the Tippecanoe School Corporation is working to update the Robots and the laptops for programming them, but more funding is needed to fully upgrade our curriculum. We are attempting to replace all 40 of our Lego NXT kits with the new LEGO EV3 units and are still trying to obtain additional funding. We added 15 units this year, but an additional $12,500 is needed to fund the remaining 25 units. That amount far exceeds typical local grant options and are looking for help from our BGMS community.
If you, or someone you know, works in one of the many industrial businesses in the community that knows a contact to create a local business funding partnership we would like some assistance. Please contact our Tech Teacher, Mr. Jeff Brenner with anyone he could contact that might be a funding source to develop a partnership. Thanks for your support.


One of our favorite wood types for aquarium use is Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), and the bark of this unique tree is no exception. It's texturally interesting, aesthetically beautiful, and packed with tannins. It creates not only an interesting hardscape accent, but an environmental enhancement as well.
A Tannin Aquatics exclusive, these bark pieces come to us from our source in Hawaii, where they are legally collected and prepared for aquarium use. As it turns out, the Red mangrove is invasive in Hawaii, and the local government and USDA are all too happy for us to take this material off of their hands!
