National League general manager offers Hawks and other clubs who voted to carry on playing a potential lifeline
Mark Ives has handed the National League South and North clubs who voted to carry on playing in 2020/21 a potential lifeline.

The sixth tier seasons were declared null and void on February 18 after 25 out of the 43 clubs voted to end the season in the wake of a financial crisis brought about by a Government decision to only offer loans instead of grants.
Hawks were one of the 18 clubs who voted to carry on to put their names to a letter to the league's general manager Mark Ives calling for them to be allowed to carry on playing the season to a finish.
The letter said: 'We respectfully request that the league strongly consider that the two divisions at Step 2 continue playing their seasons, either separately or as one.
'We believe that this is in the best interests of all National League members allowing the league to cater to the needs and drivers of all clubs in a sympathetic manner, allowing those who wish to continue to do so, and those who cannot or do not wish to continue to end their season.
'Promotion and relegation can be maintained between the National League and National League North and South in order to recover a full National League of 24 clubs next season, as well as maintaining the integrity of our relationship with the EFL.'
In an interview with BBC Three Counties Radio today, Ives said the National League are happy to consider those proposals.
'It's in the best interests of the league to listen to all the clubs, that's the right thing to do,' he said.
'Do I believe there should be an opportunity to consider an alternative, viable solution? Yes I do.
'The resolution (to null and void the season) put forward is not binding, the FA can turn it down - the FA have responsibility for the Non-League System.
'Do I think it's in the league's best interests to present everything to the FA? Yes, certainly I do. Should we be looking at all opportunities? Of course we should.
Ives admits restarting the South and North seasons in whatever format 'opens up a lot of questions.
'Would we need another vote, would there be two divisions, would there be one division, would teams play each other twice or once?
'So many questions would need to be answered - that's the challenge to try and take things forward.
'We owe it to the clubs to consider every possible avenue.
'The clubs who didn't vote to play on have to be treated fairly as well. It's not a binary issue, is it?
'The league is committed to being fair to all 66 clubs.'
Some sixth tier clubs have carried on training even after the null and void verdict was delivered, while at the weekend Gloucester City and Dorking - leaders of the North and South tiers respectively - played each other in a friendly.

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal is keen to sign compatriot Kevin Strootman from Roma, meanwhile the reports linking Nemanja Vidic with a move back to Old Trafford are now being dismissed as fiction.
Manchester United fans will have to brace themselves again for a repeat the ceaseless transfer rumours that ruined their summers' in the run up to this January's window. Speculation is centred on the possible signing of Kevin Strootman from Roma, who looks like being the new Arturo Vidal in that the press are constantly talking about his possible move.
The tough tackling midfielder, has been sidelined since he sustained a knee injury in a Serie A game against Napoli last March. He is being eased back into the Roma first team, he watched from the bench as his side crashed out of the Champions League following their home defeat at the hands of Manchester City. This result would appear to make the Dutchman's move to Old Trafford more likely in the January window as otherwise he would surely opt to remain with the Italian outfit for an assault on the knock out stages of the competition.
Roma for their part are insisting that the 24-year-old is going nowhere, team general manager Mauro Baldissoni was quoted in the Manchester Evening News as saying.
However the speculation is that the Serie A outfit will be prepared to revisit their position should Louis van Gaal come up with a mega money offer, £40 million would probably needed for the Italians to sit up and take notice. The United boss would ideally like to bag his target in the January window but would be prepared to wait until summer to close the deal.
The Star reported yesterday that a deal to bring defender Nemanja Vidic back from Inter Milan to Manchester United was virtually in the bag. However today the self same news outlet carried a story in which the players agent Silvano Martina categorically ruled out such a U-turn by the Serbian international only a few months since he left Old Trafford.
Interestingly enough the Star made no mention of yesterdays article where it confidently predicted Vidic's return.


Yesterday I had the opportunity to enjoy the Kentucky State Fair. I went to the fair to help Caitlin with the put-put golf at the KY Beef Counsil Booth. I will have to say that the put-put golf this year was a big success. There was a constant flow of kids coming through and participating in not only the golf but the beef displays as well. The Fair Bear even got in on the action!
After a ribeye sandwich from the Kentucky Cattleman's Association booth I meandered through the "Pride of the Counties" area that features highlights from each county across Kentucky. When I found Owen County's display I was pleased to see that Eden Shale Farm was represented. I would like to thank the folks at the Owen County Extension Office for putting together such an nice booth and representing us so well at the State Fair.
After visiting some old friends in the cattle barn, I attended the Sale of Champions. This is the sale that highlights the hard work of the Grand Champion & Reserve animals of each species. It is always great to see these beautiful animals and all the hard work that these youth put into making them look their best. The sale is always well attended and I will have to say that the event makes you feel proud that you are part of Kentucky Agriculture.

Q: HTML/CSS: Foundation stylesheet wont link I am trying to get the foundation framework to link to my HTML page but when I try to use the grid system it does not do anything. I have been looked at a few different tutorials to make sure that I am linking things correctly but I still can not figure out why it wont work. Here is an image of my editor and display side by side. My index.html, css folder, and js folder are all contained within the same directory. Editor and Display

Also attaching my code:
<!doctype html>

    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"/>

Why u wont work.

Not displaying a grid system.

A: You have a typo on in your second column. 'large-8 collumn' should read 'large-8 columns' (one less 'l' and one 's').
Instead of

Not displaying a grid system.

Have:

Not displaying a grid system.

For reference, here is a working pen.

A: First of all, you have a typo, it says collumn, should be column (or columns).
Second, please make sure you're using the proper grid, Foundation 6.4 has 3 grids available: XY (default), Float and Flex.
The code in your sample belongs to the "traditional" Float Grid, while the default grid in this new version (since June 27th) is XY Grid. So you have two options:

*

*Change your markup according to the new XY grid (take a look to http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/xy-grid.html )

*Change the framework to use the Float Grid, now this depends on how you downloaded the framework in first place; if you used the precompiled package, you should go to http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/download.html/#customizeFoundation to customize (basically just selecting the Float Grid and download a new package); if you used the SASS version, go to app.scss remove comment to the line where shows @include foundation-grid;, and comment the one with @include foundation-xy-grid-classes;, then rebuild framework.

Hope this helps.

The search for a missing alibi witness leads to a much bigger and more complex conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of the British political establishment.
Directed by Niall MacCormick • Created by Ronan Bennett, Walter Bernstein • Starring Philip Glenister, Thekla Reuten, Anna Chancellor. Origin/BBC, 2011.


Special thanks to Hotel Equatorial Penang for extending this food review invitation.
Hotel Equatorial Penang is a prestigious resort next to the 18-hole Penang Golf Club. This 5-star hotel welcomes arriving guests with its spacious concourse that rises to the height of nearly 10 floors. Vines hang gracefully from the upper floors, while an artificial stream flows within the hotel's expansive grounds.
Hotel Equatorial has 5 eateries in total. Located right above Golden Phoenix, The View serves French cuisine in a fine dining setting. Smart casual attire is expected.
As the restaurant's name rightly implies, The View provides a breathtaking view of the surrounding areas. The scenery is particularly mesmerizing with the setting sun casting from the back.
This evening, The View is hosting the Flametree Margaret River Wine Dinner in collaboration with Évian, Badoit and The Wine Shop. This 5-course meal takes diners on a gastronomical journey while savoring several wine labels from Flametree.
Flametree is a renowned winery in Margaret River, Australia. Located on the west coast of the continent, Margaret River is surrounded by the Indian Ocean on three sides. The region's temperate Mediterranean climate produces some of the finest wines in the country.
While waiting for dinner to be served, diners may help themselves with a basket of bread rolls to keep the appetite up. Salted butter is provided.
The first course is Sesame Crusted Hamachi. Also known as yellowtail, the fish is served raw à la sashimi. The sesame-coated crust gives the fillet a scrumptious touch of crispiness. The fish is served with tomato salsa, spicy-sweet plum sauce and microgreens. The paired wine is Flametree Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2017, which carries a burst of nectarine sweetness with hints of fresh herbs.
The next course, Pan-Seared Foie Gras, is cooked to absolute perfection. The buttery goose liver virtually melts upon contact with my tongue. I also appreciate the use of Melba toast, baby spinach, grape relish and fig infusion for the plating. This evening's foie gras is meant to go with Flametree S.R.S. Wallcliffe Chardonnay 2015. The wine's fruity flavors shrouds a touch of salinity - a hallmark of Margaret River's unique soil.
Seafood Cappuccino Provençale Olive Oil is a lovely soup that combines rich flavors of seafood with olive oil and truffle. Its light and foamy consistency is the result of an espuma. The soup is served in a coffee cup alongside a grissino (breadstick).
The subsequent dish is Oven-Roasted Australian Grain Fed Beef Tenderloin. Flavored with port wine emulsion, the steak rests on a bed of crispy potato noodles. Baby-cut carrot and microgreens serve as icing on the cake. I feel that the beef is on the dry side; medium doneness might have been a better choice. Assigned to this dish is a red wine, Flametree Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2015.
On the other hand, the Pistachio Nut Crusted Young New Zealand Rack Of Lamb is substantially juicier. The tangy grain mustard sauce also does a great job in accentuating the succulent flavors of lamb. Served on the side are roasted honey pumpkin and sautéed wild mushrooms. Another red wine, Flametree S.R.S. Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, is paired with this delectable lamb dish.
Cheese holds a special place in my heart, so I am thrilled to sample the exquisite Cheese Platter. Today's cheese selections are Gouda, blue cheese and cheddar. Accompanying the cheeses are Fuji apple compote, fig, apricot, pecan, almond and walnut.
As for the dessert, Ice Cream Bon Bon consists of vanilla ice cream with white chocolate coating. Dry ice vapors present a mystifying illusion. Also included is an assortment of butter cookies and pralines. These sweet treats are paired with a dessert wine, Flametree Botrytis Sémillon 2017. The wine is fermented from grapes that have been deliberately infected by a fungus called noble rot, resulting in more concentrated sweetness.
Last but not least, a cup of coffee concludes the dinner on a high note.
The View serves à la carte dishes on normal days, but course meals like the one this evening can be arranged upon request. It is important to note that pork is absent from the food menu. Vegetarian options are available too.
Directions: Hotel Equatorial Penang is located near the intersection of Persiaran Bukit Jambul and Lebuh Bukit Jambul. Jalan Bukit Jambul is a small offshoot from Persiaran Bukit Jambul near this intersection. The View is located at the same level as the main lobby. The hotel provides multilevel parking for RM10.00 per entry.

Chip companies working to make Wi-Fi more maker-friendly
The goal is to make adding Wi-Fi connectivity much easier
Mikael Ricknäs (IDG News Service) 20 February, 2015 23:52
Texas Instruments and MediaTek have launched new offerings aimed at making it easier to build IoT (Internet of Things) devices with Wi-Fi connectivity.
The chip makers have realized that their future isn't just in selling products to big companies, but also to a growing maker community whose products also need Wi-Fi connectivity.
This week TI expanded its SimpleLink portfolio with two new modules, which promise to help add Wi-Fi connectivity without requiring any network experience. A similar promise came from MediaTek earlier this month when it launched a new Wi-Fi development platform.
To jump start Wi-Fi development, TI now offers the CC3100 module BoosterPack and the CC3200 module LaunchPad, which include an SDK and sample boards that can be connected directly to a PC.
The MediaTek LinkIt Connect 7681 development platform includes an SDK for Windows and Ubuntu and a hardware development kit co-designed with Seeed Studio, which helps with all aspects of small-scale product development.
Wi-Fi isn't the only network technology that's evolving to become more IoT-friendly. Cellular networks and so-called low-power, wide-area network technologies and even satellites are all part of the connectivity puzzle.
More and more chip makers have begun developing customized IoT components over the last six months. For example, in November Toshiba announced its TZ1021MBG processor, which can be used to power smartwatches, bracelets, glasses and even rings, according to the company. Mass production of the processor is slated to start next month.
It and other products are very much needed since the success of the sector depends on outstanding battery life and low device costs.
The new chips will compete for inclusion in the billions of wearables, smart meters, vehicles and other devices that are expected to connect to networks over the next decade.

Oh Now You Care?! Dem Wisconsin Gov. Activates Nat'l Guard Ahead of Rittenhouse Verdict
Nick Kangadis
November. 15. 2021
With all the people that told the country that we need to "defund the police" and that they want to reimagine the justice system, it's funny that a lot of those same people are now calling on an authoritative body to help protect them if the narrative they set up blows up in their smug faces.
On Friday, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) activated 500 National Guard troops to help monitor possible civil unrest following the upcoming verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.
According to the New York Post:
About 500 troops will be on hand outside of Kenosha and will respond "if requested by local law enforcement," in the event of civil unrest following the jury's decision, Evers said.
The guardsmen will be operating "in conjunction with hundreds of officers from volunteering law enforcement agencies," the governor's office said.
Evers released a statement on Friday announcing the activation of the National Guard, in which he concluded with a very interesting caveat.
"The National Guard may not be used to impede the ability of people to peacefully protest or impede the ability of the media to report," Evers wrote.
Take what they deem as "peacefully protest" with a grain of salt, because they didn't seem to care all that much when Kenosha burned down the first time. If they had, we might not have ever heard of Kyle Rittenhouse.
The trial looks to be wrapping up this week, as both legal teams present their closing arguments on Monday.

We're #1, but at what cost?
Seattle's the #1 big city to move to, according to WalletHub. Which seems like the official kiss of death to old Seattle.
Well this won't be any help with the drove of people coming to our city: WalletHub has just named Seattle its top big city to live in.
After coming in second in last year's ranking, the Emerald City got top scores for both economy and the education/health rankings, where the credit score website slotted us as No. 1. For quality of life, Seattleites scored sixth place.
From there it's a pretty steep drop off in rankings: In terms of safety we're notched at 30 out of the 62 metros, while affordability has us at 50.
Even still, it's the sort of thing that's going to probably catch the eye of a few interested parties, who may find it in their hearts to relocate here despite Seattleites warnings not to.
After all, Seattle is expensive, and our traffic continually ranks among the worst in the world. Our weather is unpredictable, seasonally speaking. And despite our protestations otherwise, newbies keep flocking to the city and driving up the cost of houses, avocado toast, and -- well, everything.


Swimming pools and hot tubs have to be monitored to ensure safe bathing conditions for guests. In Britain, this is mainly accomplished through the use of regular chemical treatments. Swimming pools abroad may use ozone which does not leave a chlorine or chemical smell. It is worth exploring the latest options to ensure crystal clear water and healthy swimming conditions.
Do feel free to advertise swimming pool and hot tub products that maintain cleanliness and ensure happy holidays..
Holiday cottage bookings often rely on establishing a base of satisfied repeat clients who like the accommodation, the leisure facilities and want to repeat the experience. Occasionally, the same guests visit year after year. For this reason, it is important to maintain high standards in the holiday accommodation and the swimming pools, saunas and hot tubs.
Do fee free to send us any information related to this quest..

Ambrogio Lorenzetti's Good and Bad Government
Located in Siena's Palazzo Pubblico
Piazza del Campo, 1
The Allegory of Good and Bad Government is a large series of frescos painted between 1337 and 1339. This series stands as the first and only secular painting of Siena's early Renaissance period.
The governing political party of Siena commissioned artist Ambrogio Lorenzetti to depict an allegory of "bad government" featuring the negative dimensions of city life, from assassinations to sacking, violence, poverty and famine. The other allegory would instead depict the qualities of a "good government," including visuals such as prosperous cities, cultivated lands, general well-being, wealth, joy and so on.
The painting's overall meaning is abundantly clear: if the city is administered well, the entire population benefits from the administration's successful system of governance.
The series of frescoes is divided into four sections. The first features the Allegory of Bad Government, represented by a devil-like man with horns dressed in black; the figure is surrounded by allegorical figures representing Cruelty, Discord, War, Fraud, Anger and Tyranny. The next section shows the Effects of Bad Government on City and Country, presenting uncultivated land and citizens suffering from violence and theft. Moving on, you'll find the Allegory of Good Government, represented by an old, wise monarch on a throne surrounded by the allegorical figures of Justice, Temperance, Prudence, Strength and Peace and the theological virtues of Charity, Faith and Hope. Finally, the fresco depicts the Effects of Good Government on City and Country; here, you'll see the city of Siena depicted as rich, prosperous, serene and tranquil.
This work is considered the first fresco in central Italy in which the landscape plays a vital role in the overall painting. In the Italian visual arts tradition, landscapes were generally not presented as autonomous until the 1600s.
These famous frescoes are extremely significant historically, as they are an irreplaceable snapshot of everyday life in Siena's stable medieval Republican government. They also display the first town panorama and countryside painted since antiquity. Elements of normal life weave together with religious thematics, an important depiction of city life at that time.
