Player Development Programs (PDPs) are identification and development programs within US Club Soccer's id2 Program with three primary goals: (i) provide top players with an opportunity to be identified and evaluated for higher levels of play; (ii) provide a high quality developmental experience; and (iii) recognize and reward individual performance and achievement. PDPs are operated in conjunction with elite leagues sanctioned by US Club Soccer.
The ECNL PDPs listed above will include a training session and two 11 vs. 11 games over two days. Top players from each ECNL PDP, along with other players scouted in ECNL competition throughout the year, will be considered for invitations to the ECNL / id2 National Training Camp in late July.
Players are selected for the Player Development Programs based on their scouted performance in ECNL competitions, and by objective recommendations from ECNL Directors across the country. The ECNL will be hosting eleven PDP events across the country over the next three months, providing an opportunity for top players in every ECNL club. There are no costs for participation in Player Development Programs. The ECNL covers all staffing, facility rental and equipment costs for the ECNL PDPs. The only responsibility for participating players will be the cost of travel and accommodation (where necessary).

Enforcement and Removal
ICE operation in South Florida targeting at-large convicted criminal aliens nets 24 arrests
MIAMI - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested 24 foreign nationals during a six-day enforcement action in South Florida targeting convicted criminal aliens identified in violation of U.S. immigration law.
The enforcement operation, which began Feb. 15 and ended on Thursday, Feb. 24, targeted at-large criminal aliens with convictions for drug trafficking, violent crimes and sex offenses.
Nineteen of the individuals had criminal records, including murder and drug trafficking, four were ICE fugitives with final orders of deportation and one had been previously deported.
"Arresting convicted criminals and immigration fugitives is a top priority for ICE ERO," said Marc Moore, field office director for ICE ERO in Miami. "Those who come to the United States to prey upon our neighbors and communities will be prosecuted for their crimes and ultimately returned to their home countries. The results of this and last week's operation demonstrate ICE's commitment to making our communities safer for everyone."
All 24 were arrested administratively for being in violation of immigration law, and all are being held in ICE custody pending immigration removal proceedings or removal from the United States.
The 24 alien arrests include 10 arrests in Miami-Dade County, four arrests in Broward County and 10 arrests in Monroe County. The overall criminal alien arrests include 20 men and four women, representing six different nations, including countries in Latin America, Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
ICE ERO officers arrested:
A 35-year-old citizen and national of Colombia, residing in Broward County, Fla. He has a prior 2008 conviction in Palm Beach County, Fla. for domestic battery by strangulation.
A 33-year-old citizen and national of Honduras, residing in Miami-Dade County, Fla. He has prior 2010 convictions in Miami-Dade County for murder, possession of a deadly weapon, aggravated battery, child abuse, causing great bodily harm and torture.
A 44-year-old citizen and national of Honduras, residing in Miami, Fla. His prior criminal convictions in Miami-Dade County from 1990 to 2011 include simple assault, resisting officer without violence, cocaine possession, fleeing/eluding police officer, disorderly intoxication, carrying a concealed weapon, battery, drinking in public, trespassing, obstructing a police officer and cannabis possession. He illegally re-entered the United States after being deported in 1991.
A 19-year-old citizen and national of Haiti, residing in Key West, Fla. He has a prior 2010 conviction in Monroe County for selling and possessing cocaine.
A 35-year-old citizen and national of Haiti, residing in Key West. He has prior 2003 to 2010 convictions in Monroe County for cocaine distribution within 1000 feet of a church or school, battery and criminal mischief. He has also been identified as a member of the Zoe Pound gang in Key West.
Those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country. The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge, or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future.
This enforcement operation is just one facet of the Department of Homeland Security's broader strategy to heighten the federal government's effectiveness at identifying and removing dangerous criminal aliens from the United States.

After 2,000 years of indignity and ignominy, Herod the Great has finally gotten his revenge.
During their revolt against Roman rule over Judea between 66 and 72 A.D., Jews who remembered King Herod as a Roman puppet smashed his sarcophagus, which had been interred with royal pomp about 70 years before. Christians have identified him as a baby killer who forced Jesus' family to flee Bethlehem. And Herod's habit of having his rivals and relatives killed has hardly burnished his image.
True, he built monumental projects - not only Masada and Caesarea but also the grand expansion of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, the best-known remnant of which is the Western Wall. In the main, though, he has been a forgotten and derided historical figure.
But now Herod is back, at least in spirit. Israeli archaeologists announced last month that they've found his tomb, eight miles south of Jerusalem. And that tomb has become yet another impediment on the already impassable road to Israeli-Palestinian peace.
In the land of Israel - or Palestine, as Palestinians and others call it - anything that demonstrates the area's Jewish past, whether above ground or below, makes a big impression.
For Israelis, such finds are seen as an emblem of the Jews' ancient and unbroken connection with the land, going back 3,500 years, that justifies the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. For Palestinians, they're seen as a way of legitimizing Israel - the creation of which turned many of them or their forebears into refugees - and are therefore often dismissed as myth or fantasy.
In 1983, I saw how the unearthing of evidence of the Jewish past gives heart to some Israelis. While researching a book on the West Bank, I visited the Jewish settlement of Shiloh, in the northern West Bank. Archeologists were digging at the nearby site of ancient Shiloh, which in biblical times was the first capital of Israel. It was in Shiloh that, according to the Hebrew Bible, the Ark of the Covenant rested. Every evening, the archeologists would display their finds. When they showed artifacts from the Israelite period, the settlers cheered; for them, this was proof that they were now living in the ancient heart of the land of Israel.
Small wonder that archaeological finds like these provoke many Palestinians to deny that such discoveries, and any other evidence of Jewish history in either Israel or the West Bank, have anything to do with Jews. After the recent announcement that Herod's tomb had been found, the Palestinian response was quick and sharp. A Palestinian official said the finding lacked scientific credibility and was driven by ideological motivations.
But this episode of archaeological denial pales in comparison with the decades of denial in the case of Jerusalem's Temple Mount - which is known to Arabs as Haram al-Sharif, or the Noble Sanctuary - a case thrown into relief by this week's 40th anniversary of the Six-Day War, in which Israel captured East Jerusalem.
In 1930, when Britain administered the area, the Supreme Muslim Council in Jerusalem noted that the Temple Mount's "identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute." But at the Camp David summit in 2000, Yasser Arafat insisted that a Jewish temple had existed not on the Temple Mount but in Nablus. And an Arafat aide, Saeb Erekat, said, to President Bill Clinton's amazement, "I don't believe there was a temple on top of the Haram, I really don't."
Mahmoud Abbas, the current Palestinian Authority president, later agreed with Mr. Erekat, as did the mufti of Jerusalem. Mr. Arafat later went further and denied the temple existed anywhere in Israel, the West Bank or Gaza, including Nablus.
Today, denial of the temple's existence has become a mainstay of Palestinian rhetoric. "They say that the temple was here," a Palestinian historian scoffed. "What temple? ... What archaeological remains?" And temple denial has turned into temple removal. During the last few years, Palestinians have discarded remains of the first and second temples.
This absurd Palestinian denial of Jewish roots in the land has been matched on the part of Israelis who deny that there was a large and long-indigenous population of Arabs in Palestine when the Zionist movement vastly expanded the number of Jews in the area more than 100 years ago. Fortunately, the denial of Palestinian history has been utterly discredited among nearly all Israelis.
Forty years after the "unification" of Jerusalem, it is clear that only when each side recognizes the historical right of the other to live in the region will it be possible to begin to talk about peace and a fair reckoning on that city. And only then will it be possible to put Herod's vengeful ghost back into his haunted archaeological tomb.

Usability Expert Says Windows 8's UI is 'Weak on Tablets, Terrible for PCs'
By Brad Chacos 21 November 2012
Stymied by the new tile-centric design of Windows 8? You aren't the only one. Noted usability expert Jakob Nielsen conducted a small-scale test of Microsoft's new-look operating system by dropping a dozen experienced PC jockeys in front of Windows 8 on a desktop and Windows RT on a Surface RT tablet. The conclusion: Live tiles may be pretty, but Windows 8's usability sure isn't.
Nielsen pulls no punches in the lengthy critique, with an opening salvo that calls the dual desktop and Modern UI modes a cognitive burden for users, echoing what usability expert Raluca Budiu -- who works at Nielsen's Nielsen Norman Group -- told LAPTOP earlier this year.
The hits only continue from there. "The main UI restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed 'Microsoft Window,'" Nielsen writes, arguing that that experience may work well on a mobile device, but it doesn't make sense on a desktop PC. Ouch! From there, he goes on to criticize the overly active design of Live Tiles, the way the "flat" Modern design fails to give visual clues where a user should click, the emphasis on big pictures as opposed to tight information density, error-prone touch gestures, and the out-of-sight, out-of-mind Charms bar.
The disease spawning all these symptoms, Nielsen contends, is Microsoft's decision to shoehorn a tablet experience onto the desktop interface, despite the gulf in hardware design between the two form factors:
Windows 8 on mobile devices and tablets is akin to Dr. Jekyll: a tortured soul hoping for redemption. On a regular PC, Windows 8 is Mr. Hyde: a monster that terrorizes poor office workers and strangles their productivity.
Nielsen expects Windows 9 to tighten up the tablet experience, citing Microsoft's willingness to learn from its mistakes. Desktop users, however, might be out of luck if Microsoft continues to push for "One Windows, Everywhere."
"(Microsoft) has now thrown the old customer base under the bus by designing an operating system that removes a powerful PC's benefits in order to work better on smaller devices," Nielsenwrites.
CNET's Jay Greene, on the other hand, consulted with Tom Hobbs, another UI specialist, and while Hobbs agrees with some of Nielsen's specific critiques, he thinks Microsoft had no choice but to rip off the traditional UI Band-Aid in one fell swoop considering the monumental shift in direction Windows 8 represents.
"For Microsoft to support incremental change around a new paradigm would be suicide," Hobbs said.

Windows 8 Review


I'm convinced that if we could view the world in slow motion, what we could learn would be without limit. We seldom give ourselves time to linger with eyes wide open, but when we do, colors grow brighter and we can learn more about the space within our reach.This week I've been mesmerized by the insects in my raised bed. Of course, I have spotted the creepy-crawlies many times before — the gray, black, green or red buggers that make our food crops pock-marked and sticky. The bugs likely don't notice me at all. They keep munching as my shadow comes and goes.
I had intended to yank the kale weeks ago, but became sidetracked. (It was hot and doing any work outside fell lower on my to-do list). By the time I looked again, the aphid population had grown about tenfold.
Ladybugs arrived, their broad red, folded wings a sharp contrast to the sun-scorched green of the remaining kale.
Ladybugs (more accurately known as lady beetles) love to eat aphids, and for some reason I did not want to deprive them of their feast at my garden version of the Home Town Buffet. More ladybugs arrived, as well as those black and bright orange bugs that breed in dry leaves.
As I spent more time watching I noticed the amber-colored specks on the back side of the leaves, eggs of unknown origin. I also found silver clusters, arranged like a piece of jewelry — too small to view without a magnifying glasses.
I'm certainly no entomologist, but I felt a certain kinship with bug watchers. I imagined Charles Darwin, sitting on a rock on the Galapagos, silent and breathless as he watched flightless beetles. What a luxury to have so many minutes to string together, that time spent watching nature would lead to evolutionary theories.
But my fun had to end. I had other things to do, don't you know.
Spraying soapy water really does work for bug control. After a good squirt, you return to a blackened bug boneyard. The Colorado State University extension theorizes that the suds damage insect cell membranes, and remove the protective wax from their bodies. This works with soft-bodied bugs including aphids, mealybugs and spider mites.
Ladybugs, lacewings and bees should be OK, the smart folks at Colorado State say. Yet, I still wouldn't want to douse the bodies of my beneficial insect friends.
In the end, if the bugs get too bad, and you repeatedly spray with diluted soapy water, you can cause damage to the plants, the wise folks at the extension continue. This is especially true for garden stalwarts like tomatoes and Portulaca. If you try this at home, wash off the plant with water within a few hours after giving aphids a soapy squirt. The Colorado State website also reminds us to use just a dollop of soap in our squirt bottle (one or two teaspoons per pint), and stay away from harsher soaps like what we use for laundry.
By the time I had watched, waited and watched some more, the kale was so infested it would have taken a Costco-sized jug of soap to keep the critters under control. Rather than wait for an army of ladybugs, I filled my 10-gallon bucket with soapy water, clipped the kale at the roots and dunked large branches into the suds. Maybe next year I'll have the time to sit by the raised bed and discover what would have become of those silver, jewel-like eggs that had been a sweet diversion.

Written by Harlan Coben — Harlan Coben has been a leading crime author since the mid-90s. His Myron Bolitar series captivated fans who love private detective stories while his standalone thrillers – like the superb Tell No One – have tended to look at everyday people in extra-ordinary situations. Usually these situations involve someone searching for a long-lost love, or having somebody they thought was gone for good walk right back into their lives. He's thrived on stories revolving around what people don't know about their nearest and dearest. Here on Crime Fiction Lover we've reviewed Stay Close and Six Years.
In Missing You, some of these themes crop up yet again. NYPD Detective Kat Donovan is a driven woman. Her cop father was killed 18 years ago, and although a man confessed to the shooting, somehow his story has never really rung true to Kat. So when she hears that the so-called killer Monte Leburne is dying, she blags her way to his bedside. Maybe, this time, he will tell her the truth… Sadly, Kat is destined to be disappointed. Monte isn't about to make a deathbed confession to her, but when a friendly nurse plies him with drugs, he lets slip a few choice clues. Can Kat sort out what actually happened on the night her father was gunned down?
Outside of work, Kat leads a fairly solitary existence – something her friend Stacy is determined to change. To that end she enrols Kat on an internet dating site. But on Kat's first visit, she is shocked to see a face that meant so much to her many years ago. Former fiancé Jeff, now a widower with a child, is looking for love and companionship on the site too. Kat debates long and hard about getting in touch, but when she composes a message and hits the send button, she is vaguely disappointed by his reply. Her message included a link to Missing You, the song that meant so much to them 18 years ago. Why doesn't Jeff remember it?
Meanwhile, at an isolated farm in Amish country, something nasty is afoot. Innocent, lonely people are being duped by a masterful conman intent on bleeding them dry of money. Titus draws them in with promises of romance, then kidnaps his victims until they are no longer of use to him, then disposing of their bodies. So far, no-one has taken notice of his missing victims – until the distraught son of a well-to-do woman contacts Kat. She told him she was going away for a few days with her new boyfriend, now she has vanished. And strangely, her beau looks exactly like Kat's ex, Jeff.
Early on in the book the various plotlines appear separate and unconnected, and that serves to slow down the pace – so much so that I found myself losing interest. Eventually the stories begin to knit together and the pace quickens somewhat, but Kat and her complicated history never feel completely engaging. Coben throws any number of plot devices into the mix and as skeletons begin to fall from an ever-increasing number of closets. I struggled to keep up, and not in a good way. I've long been a fan of Harlan Coben, but the seeking-lost-love formula is wearing a little thin. In short, a disappointing read.

The internet is mocking the new Brexit commemorative coin
The Sun's crude rendering of the Brexit commemorative coin.
Image: The Sun
Anne Quito
A commemorative Brexit coin is in the works. Following the UK's "true blue" redesign of its passports, minting the coin is a small, but definitive statement from the government that despite dissent across the country, all plans are pushing through for its historic departure from the European bloc on March 29, 2019.
At budget hearings today (Oct. 29), UK Chancellor Philip Hammond is expected to confirm that the Royal Mint will produce a commemorative 50 pence coin bearing the words "Friendship With All Nations," the Sun reports. Some point out that the conciliatory slogan echoes a line from a speech by Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the US Declaration of Independence.
The heptagonal 50 pence coin, made from an alloy of copper and nickel, is the largest coin in circulation in the UK. Its reverse (tails side) has been used as a canvas to fete all sorts of events, including Olympic games, the Beatrix Potter anniversary, and ironically, the year when the UK joined the EU in 1973.
Designed by David Wynne, the 1973 50p coin marks the moment the UK joined the EU.
Image: The Royal Mint
Compared to the more than 60 beautifully rendered 50 pence commemorative coins the Mint has issued, the proposed design of the Brexit coin published in The Sun is pathetically lackluster.
The Sun published the "exclusive" description of the coin on Sunday. Accompanied by a rather crude Photoshop rendering, the tabloid called the new coin a "victory for Britain." It has been campaigning for some sort of official Brexit memorabilia for months, and its foiled push for a Brexit postage stamp in January has given fodder for meme makers to create savagely funny alternative designs.
Once news broke of the Brexit coin, the internet wasted no time in similarly mocking it:
Several commentators, including Labour MP Wes Streeting, referenced the continuous devaluation of British currency since the EU referendum.
Queen Elizabeth, whose portrait is on the coin's obverse, will have to approve the proposal.

Commentary: Is Dressing 'Sexy' Asking for Scrutiny?
Leave it to a woman's outfit choice to cause a national scandal. When singer Katy Perry recently paid a visit to "Sesame Street," it was to sing her hit "Hot and Cold" -- and hopefully draw younger, hipper parents to the show. Instead, her plunging neckline and cleavage have become the main attraction (sorry Elmo) and quickly sparked a debate about whether or not it was too provocative for the show... Here's what you had to say: Mary commented via Facebook: "To be treated with respect you should at least act and ook respectful." Laura wrote via Facebook: "A woman's clothing should have no impact on the way she is treated."

Leave it to a woman's outfit choice to cause a national scandal. When singer Katy Perry recently paid a visit to "Sesame Street," it was to sing her hit "Hot and Cold" — and hopefully draw younger, hipper parents to the show. Instead, her plunging neckline and cleavage have become the main attraction (sorry Elmo) and quickly sparked a debate about whether or not it was too provocative for the show… "Thank you for speeding up the puberty process," wrote one concerned viewer. "You can practically see her ***" added another. "Sesame Street" producers have responded by removing Perry's appearance from a scheduled New Year's Eve episode. In a land not too far from "Sesame Street," Mexican TV sports reporter Ines Sainz has faced similar scrutiny after alleging that New York Jets players harassed her while she conducted an interview in the team's locker room. The response to Sainz's charge has more often than not zoomed in on her penchant for tight skinny jeans and equally form-fitting tops. But will a preschooler watching Perry's video be as fixated on her boobs as adults seem to be? Doubt it. And does the fact that Sainz likes revealing clothing justify her harassment? In the eyes of the decency police, yes. We've been here before; with Janet Jackson's 2004 Superbowl wardrobe mishap, and most recently, with Venus Williams' outfits on the court. The truth is that we're willing to withstand women dressing "sexy" in certain situations (Hollywood movies, music videos) and not others (church, work). In an ideal world, a woman like Sainz would command the same amount of respect as a woman in a sensible Hillary Clinton-esque suit. In the "real" world, dressing "sexy" means you're quickly judged by your appearance over your intellect. Men do this to women all the time, but that's not to say we don't throw occasional shade at a sister we think is showing a little too much skin. So much about gender roles would need to fundamentally change before we could all don a Beyonce "Single Ladies" leotard and make it down a city block without a barrage of catcalls (and not all of us care to dress that way), but do we encourage women like Sainz to dress to suit their own comfort levels, or conform to what the world dictates as "decent"? You tell us.

If You Ever Want to Bring a Piano to the Beach, Don't!
by Elise Parsley
ON SALE: May 3rd 2016
Genre: Children's Books / Juvenile Fiction / Humorous Stories
ebook Digital original
The second book in the New York Times bestselling series that began with If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't! is another uproarious cautionary tale about things that DON'T belong together!
If your mom says to get ready to play at the beach, she means with a boat, or a Frisbee, or a shovel. She is NOT talking about the piano. But Magnolia is a little girl with a big idea, determination, and one very heavy upright piano that, she insists, she needs to take with her. What's the worst that can happen? In a riotous series of mishaps, Magnolia quickly learns that–not surprisingly–a piano doesn't mix well with sand, sun, and seagulls!
Praise for If You Ever Want to Take a Piano to the Beach, Don't!:
"Magnolia's voice is wonderfully childlike... her facial expressions top all, perfectly capturing both her exuberance and her mood swings. A delightful demonstration of just one of many things not to take to the beach; the brainstorming possibilities are endless."—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for If You Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't!:
"Parsley's digitally created illustrations brim with energy and just-edgy-enough humor... and the well-chosen school-day details in both the artwork and text... deliver a steady stream of laughs."—Publishers Weekly
[It] revels in the rampage of the id-here in the form of a formidable and toothy crocodilian. Elise Parsley's jaunty second-person narration is matched by comically expressive and detailed digital artwork that seems to shout from the page."—Wall Street Journal
"Children are likely to get a kick out of Magnolia's not-quite-contrite tone and the colorful chaos her giant pet creates."—New York Times
"This is an engaging debut picture book [that] will appeal to a wide age range. Here's hoping for more adventures with Magnolia!"—School Library Journal

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
Published by: Simon and Schuster
Yossarian is stationed on the small island of Pianosa in the Mediterranean west of Italy. He's on a bombing raid, he's on leave in Italy, he's in hospital, he's out of hospital, he's in the mess, he's not welcome in the mess, his friends are dying, he might die, he just wants to go home. He knows he's in real and immediate danger, which is the thought of a rational mind. If he asks to go home he's admitting that he knows he's in danger and therefore sane. If he wants to stay he is obviously insane and must be grounded. Yossarian is trapped in a frustrating situation by contradictory regulations because of a non-existent clause. But the genius is the simplicity of this clause that controls everyone's life, it is Catch-22.
Sometimes a book just isn't for you. You read it, you give it a try, and it's not that you hate it, you just don't like it. There are many books I love which some of my best friends dislike and a few they outright hate. I let them have that hate because it's an educated hate. They read the book or books and decided it wasn't for them. I'm not here to judge, it happens, and it is a two-way street. I just didn't like Catch-22. I tried. I really wanted to like it knowing how special a place it holds in some of my friend's hearts, but it just wasn't for me. Like Austen tends to alienate a good portion of the male population, I felt that Heller alienated a good portion of the female population. This book is a guy book, and that's the clearest way I have of saying it wasn't for me.
And I don't think it's the war aspect that makes it a guy book, but more that the depiction of the women alienates women readers. In fairness, not many of the characters are likable. They can be fascinating and compelling, but likable, not at all. The problem I had was that Heller depicted all women as whores who have a love of money or as wanton sluts. OK, this can be the starting point of a character, but you need to build beyond that. Don't make this a cookie cutter stereotype that applies to every single woman in your story. There's this misogynistic undertone that carries through the book and finds it's outlet in the rape and murder of the innocent Michaela, the one realistic woman. I can ascribe many what ifs to justify Heller's writing that he was parodying the way soldiers denigrate women or that he was trying to make women on a lower par with his men, but whatever I say or whatever is true, it still made me, as a woman reader, uncomfortable and not wanting to finish the book.
Though the content of the story bothered me far less then the literary techniques that Heller used. I didn't take issue with the non-linear narration, I only mention it because I have a feeling that this technique makes the book a better re-read then initial read, so I have that working against me. My main problem was that the book doesn't feel of it's time. How can I explain this? The book is about World War II but it was published in 1961. It feels like a book from the sixties instead of a book from the forties. The unattributed dialogue, the narrative structure, even the narrative tense felt more in line with writers like Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, and Kurt Vonnegut.
This disassociation between the time the book is set and this later writing style jarred my sensibilities and never meshed into a cohesive book for me. The best comparison I can give is between Catch-22 and Slaughterhouse-Five. I love the later book while disliking the former. The reason this newer writing style works for Vonnegut where it doesn't work for Heller is that Vonnegut's story goes forward and backward in time, it isn't just about World War II, so it is able to accept these new literary techniques, whereas Catch-22 is fighting against them every step of the way. A book needs to have harmony with itself to work. And a book really needs harmony to be an enjoyable reading experience.
The unattributed dialogue is on of the techniques that annoyed me the most. I know I'm not alone in being against this stylistic wordplay. I distinctly remember in one of my high school English classes that we had to read this short story that was all unattributed dialogue. Whomever had the book before me was obviously not a fan of this style either because they had gone through the entire story and written who was talking when, like in a screenplay. I was almost annoyed enough to do this here, but I really got to a why bother phase with this book rather fast. The writing would veer between being lugubrious to nonsensical, like an unsuccessful Lewis Carroll parody. At times it felt unoriginal and derivative of the worst and most repetitive of vaudeville sketches. Vaudeville can work, but think clearly, it works because there are actors delivering the lines and therefore keeping you away from the unattributed dialogue trap. This was like reading a vaudeville sketch; who's on first? Who knows, and really, do I care?

Migrant South Asian communities in the UK have brought with them their own traditional forms of medicine, yet little is known about their current use of herbal medicines (HMs) in the UK. The aim of the study was to explore the origins, use and transmission of knowledge of traditional HMs used by diasporic South Asian communities in the UK. A researcher-administered questionnaire was used for data collection (n = 192). An opportunity sampling technique was used to recruit participants across several locations in Birmingham and Leicester. Two thirds of participants (n = 126) stated they used HMs to maintain their health and to treat various health conditions such as digestive problems, skin conditions and diabetes. Almost 2000 actively used HMs were documented including 123 plant species that were identified. Participants imported HMs from abroad as well as sourcing them locally and even growing some of their own plants. Up to 82% (n = 87) of participants who took prescription medicines did not tell their healthcare professionals about any HMs they consumed; this raises concerns about people's knowledge of herb–drug interactions, compliance and effect on prescribed medicine regimens. Similar studies to explore the use of HMs by other ethnic groups are imperative to help optimise pharmaceutical care of patients.

Bethesda's E3 2018 Conference Will Last for Less Than 3 Hours
NewsPCPlayStation
By Rajesh V	 Last updated May 21, 2018
In the past, Bethesda made it clear that it had many news to announce at the E3 2018 event in Los Angeles, and many wondered how long the company's conference will last, scheduled for Monday, June 11th.
This question is answered by Pete Hines, who was asked on Twitter to which he replied that "I'm not going to give out a time. I assure you it won't be three hours long," so it is easy to expect a duration between 90 and 120 minutes, in line with what has been seen in recent years.
For the E3 2018 event, Bethesda plans to unveil new details on RAGE 2, according to some rumors, in addition, the Maryland publisher will also present a DLC or a stand-alone expansion of Prey set on the Moon, DOOM 2 and probably the much rumored The Elder Scrolls Starfield, a title that should combine the universes of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls.
There is also talk about a possible Fallout 3 Anniversary to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the game, but nothing has been confirmed. And what about The Elder Scrolls VI? Many hope for a possible presentation of TES 6 but at the moment everything is silent from the mouth of Bethesda, however, on Monday, June 11 we will certainly know more.
Are you excited for the upcoming games of Bethesda? Which games would you like to see the most in the event? Tell us in the comments below.
I'm not going to give out a time. I assure you it won't be three hours long

Elated trio talks up debut performances
Tuesday, July 4, 2017 - 15:38
Mathare United's Elijah Mwanzia challenges Zoo Kericho's JohnStone Ligare for the ball during the Round 15 KPL match played at the Kericho Green Stadium. Mwanzia made his debut alongside Victor Ashinga and Ronald Reagan.
As Mathare United battled Zoo Kericho to a barren draw in a Round 15 Kenyan Premier League match on Sunday 2 July, it was a special occasion for the trio of Victor Ashinga, Elijah Mwanzia and Ronald Reagan who were making their debut on the day.
Save for Mwanzia who joined the club in January 2017, Ashinga and Reagan were signed during the June transfer window as part of concerted efforts by head coach Francis Kimanzi to steady his ship in the second leg.
While Reagan was handed an unfamiliar role out on the right side of attack, Mwanzia and Ashinga were fielded in their traditional roles with the latter excelling as a defensive shield ahead of the back four.
Interestingly Ashinga went on to play the full 90 minutes, while Mwanzia and Reagan were substituted in the second half with Chris Ochieng' and Harrison Mwendwa taking up their places.
Better show
"I am very happy to have played my first match. It has not been easy because I have had to work very hard to reach this point. I was not impressed by my performance but I hope for a better show next time. My target is to work harder and help my team to win at least by scoring in the next three matches," said Mwanzia.
On his part, Reagan reveled in the challenge of playing in a new position adding that he was gutted after failing to convert two clear cut chances that came his way.
"I am used to playing as the target man but I think I did well as a winger. It was a bit challenging at the beginning but as the game wore on I grew more confident. I was disappointed not to score but my target still remains to score at least three goals in the first five matches I will feature in," remarked the 27 year old.
For Ashinga, this cameo represented a return from a long injury layoff that saw him miss out the entire first leg and he had this to say:
Major boost
"It's been long since I played and it felt good to be back on the pitch. My teammates have been encouraging me in training because they know what I can give and this has really pushed me. This has been a major boost. I want to work harder and help the team move up the table because we are not where we belong," opined Ashinga.

Skvortsova announced the absence of a shortage of imported drugs in the Russian Federation
There is no shortage of imported drugs in Russia, but there are difficulties in logistics. This was announced on Wednesday, June 15, by the head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA), Veronika Skvortsova, as part of the Drug Safety forum at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
"We have difficulties in logistics, in connection with this, slower deliveries, longer ones and some increase in prices," she said.
Russia must be self-sufficient in the provision of medicines, Skvortsova added.
Earlier on Wednesday, the head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, called the situation on the drug market in Russia stable. According to him, the system for collecting data on the availability of drugs is available in every region. Not only the introduction into civil circulation is monitored, all ongoing purchases are monitored.
On June 9, in an interview with Izvestia, the head of Roszdravnadzor, Alla Samoilova, said that there is no shortage of medicines in the country, neither in pharmacies nor in hospitals. Not a single foreign manufacturer has refused to trade with Russia, and supply disruptions are associated solely with difficulties in logistics, she noted.
In mid-March, the situation that developed in connection with the sanctions of Western countries against Russia was reflected in the Russian pharmaceutical market. Some large pharmaceutical distributors have suspended deliveries to pharmacies for price adjustments. In addition, the ways of delivering drugs to Russia have changed. This caused a boom in demand for drugs, which soon declined.
Western countries began to impose new sanctions in response to Russia's conduct of a special operation to protect the Donbass, the beginning of which was announced on February 24. The European Union, in particular, has already introduced the sixth package of restrictions.
Moscow explained that the tasks of the special operation include the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, the implementation of which is necessary to ensure the security of Russia. The decision was made against the backdrop of aggravation in the region as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military.

Matheba, who looked demure and professional as she spotted a sleek ponytail, opened the discussions by highlighting her very own philanthropical work here in South Africa, where she's championed her Bonang Matheba education fund to assist young women with furthering their studies.
She then proceeded to execute her moderating duties, which have left fans wowed by her ability to stretch and refashion her famous effervescent presenting style to the diplomatic and official tone of the event and its world leaders.

Recent Read: The Unbroken
TL;DR The Unbroken is a breathtaking anticolonial epic fantasy. Set in a second world echoing the French occupation of North Africa, the book explores war, politics, colonialism, love, trust, and belonging. It comes out March 23 and you're going to want to read it ASAP. Here's the first two chapters in case you already can't wait: https://www.orbitbooks.net/orbit-excerpts/the-unbroken-by-c-l-clark/
Thank you to NetGalley and Orbit for providing an ARC in exchange for a fair review.
Listen: in full transparency, I requested this book for the cover. Sure, people Tweeted about how great it is, but I've read a lot of great fantasy (and a lot of fantasy that was supposed to be great but wasn't). But. Look at those arms and tell me you're not a little in love with Touraine already.
Cover: The Unbroken by C.L. Clark. Image description: A badass Black woman with short, curly hair, a sleeveless shirt, and a sword at her hip enters a building.
You are, aren't you? I thought so. Just wait until you get to know her. Because, y'all. I'm deeply in love with this woman. Touraine was kidnapped from her homeland, Qazāl, as a child to become a soldier for the colonizing empire of Balladaire. We start the book with her on a ship back to Qazāl for a mission. On the same ship? The princess of Balladaire, Luca. She should ascend the throne soon, except that the regent, her uncle, insists she must prove herself ready. Luca's mission: to strengthen the empire's hold on Qazāl, where rebellion is stirring.
The thing that I loved most deeply about this novel, though, was Touraine's struggle to understand who she was. I've certainly never been kidnapped and trained as cannon fodder for wars that were not of my own making. Still: I'm the daughter of immigrants; I've also spoken to a number of other immigrants and members of diaspora through my work with khōréō. This feeling of not knowing where you belong–of not quite fitting in in either place (or, worse, of being told that one part of your culture 'doesn't count'; yes, this happened to me and yes, I'm still bitter about it.)–is a haunting one, and seeing it reflected in Touraine's own thoughts as she tries to find her way in the world was deeply meaningful. I'm so grateful to Clark for putting it to the page.
This book is sprawling in its scope, exploring intensely human relationships against a background of colonialism, which Clark interrogates ruthlessly. While there's a clear core arc to this novel, it's also a setup for an entire trilogy; the author plants seeds that will certainly grow into either bouquets or ensnaring vines in the coming books. There's also a LOT at stake beyond the intertwined politics of, and power struggle between, Qazāl and Balladaire; we learn of other peoples who seem to have magic, an art that Balladaire has lost.
Because of the complexity of the politics at play and the need to introduce the potential for magic and its laws from partway through the book, rather than "naturally" from the start, the novel slows a bit in the middle. There's just so much to show. Even so, I have to urge you: pick this book up and stick with it. It's worth it. I promise.
The last thing I'll say in praise of this book: it's a queernorm world. The sheer number of badass women loving each other in whatever way they know how made my little bi heart so, so happy. I loved it because of how easy it was for people to love whomever they wanted to, at least in the abstract. I loved how hard Clark made it for a happily ever after to happen and how she somehow, through all of it, made sure that there's always hope.
In all, I recommend this book with my whole heart to anyone who loves epic, complex fantasy with a lot of badass women and queer relationships. I've been shouting about this book from the rooftops since page 10. I can't wait for it to be out in the world so y'all can revel in its amazingness with me. I hope know you'll love it as much as I do.

Today is the 197th day of the year.
What else can we learn about the number 197?
1. This is the 197th day in a row that I have read my Bible. I haven't missed a day this year!
2. 197 is written CXCVII in Roman numerals.
3. 197 is a prime number. In case, like me, you've forgotten what a prime number is, it's one that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
5. On the TV show Revenge,David was falsely accused of being responsible for the crash of Flight 197.
6. 197 KPH is equal to 122.41 MPH.
10. If I lived to be 197, it would be the year 2162. That's not gonna happen! HA HA HA!
I hope you've had some fun at Forgetfulone today!
Be sure to link up at the New Thursday Thirteen as well as below!
It's amazing that you got all that out of 197. My mind goes blank on that one. Your comment at Loose Leaf made me laugh!
I don't think I'd want to live to be 197.
Congratulations on not missing a day of reading the Bible! I don't think I wnat to live to 197. ;) I hope you are coming along.
Cool idea for TT! You did some research for that one.
oh my, I drive at about 120 mph on our highways, and it just occurred to me that it seems very fast when listed in MPH!!
I miss Little House on the Prairie!! that was such a great show.


The velvet bed heads are gorgeous and available in King Single and King size. The cocooned sides are made for feeling safe and sound.
The petite 142cm wide kids' settees and ottoman complete the look - it's a modern take on a classic design. The ottoman provides stacks of storage and super-comfortable seating. The couch would work in any room of the house, and is so inviting; I can imagine my little one spending hours and hours curled up reading.
These moody rooms are made for relaxation and are very now; a look that is showcased in the Dulux 2016 colour forecast, and perfect for those loving the traditional style. But pull these items out and pop them in an all-white or tone-on-tone setting and they will still sing. That blush pink velvet and teal in a pastel-themed room would look amazing. And can you imagine the indigo blue against crisp white. Stunning.
You can find the new velvet collection on the Incy Interiors website.


Learning how to bake with cannabis is all the rage, here the Green Queen teaches us how to make Cannabis-Infused Peanut Butter Cup Cookies for a delicious snack!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
In a separate bowl cream together the Cannabutter, sugar, peanut butter, and brown sugar.
Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk. Add the flour mixture and mix well.
Shape your cookie dough into balls onto an un-greased baking sheet or silicone baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a miniature peanut butter cup into each ball. NOTE: it helps to freeze your peanut butter cups unwrapped before pressing them into your cookies to prevent breaking.


Directions: From Dunstable, I'd suggest you start by heading north up the A5, and turn right at the lights in Hockliffe. After about 2 miles, take the second right turn to Milton Bryan. Pass straight through Milton Bryan, driving about 2 miles before you take a sharp left at Eversholt Church. After about ¼ mile and a couple more wiggles, turn into Eversholt Hall immediately after the cricket pitch on your left. The swimming pool is here.
There is parking, but it is limited, so sharing lifts would be good.
The map below shows Dunstable and Eversholt Swimming Pool. You can scroll and zoom the map, and choose different map styles, using the controls provided at the top right.
