The Nerge: Hunting in the Mongol Empire

The peoples of the Mongol Empire (1206-1368 CE) were nomadic, and they relied on hunting wild game as a valuable source of protein. The Asian steppe is a desolate, windy, and often bitterly cold environment, but for those Mongols with sufficient skills at riding and simultaneously using a bow, there were wild animals to be caught to supplement their largely dairy-based diet. Over time, hunting and falconry became important cultural activities and great hunts were organised whenever there were major clan gatherings and important celebrations. These hunts involved all of the tribe mobilising across vast areas of steppe to corner game into a specific area, a technique known as the nerge. The skills and strategies used during the nerge were often repeated with great success by Mongol cavalry on the battlefield across Asia and in Eastern Europe.

Hunted Animals

The Mongols, like other nomadic peoples of the Asian steppe, relied on milk from their livestock for food and drink, making cheese, yoghurt, dried curds and fermented drinks. The animals they herded - sheep, goats, oxen, camels and yaks - were generally too precious as a regular source of wool and milk to kill for meat and so protein was acquired through hunting, essentially any wild animal that moved. Animals hunted in the medieval period included hares, deer, antelopes, wild boars, wild oxen, marmots, wolves, foxes, rabbits, wild asses, Siberian tigers, lions, and many wild birds, including swans and cranes (using snares and falconry). Meat was especially in demand when great feasts were held to celebrate tribal occasions and political events such as the election of a new khan or Mongol ruler.

A basic division of labour was that women did the cooking and men did the hunting. Meat was typically boiled and more rarely roasted and then added to soups and stews. Dried meat (si'usun) was an especially useful staple for travellers and roaming Mongol warriors. In the harsh steppe environment, nothing was wasted and even the marrow of animal bones was eaten with the leftovers then boiled in a broth to which curd or millet was added. Animal sinews were used in tools and fat was used to waterproof items like tents and saddles.

The Mongols considered eating certain parts of those wild animals which were thought to have potent spirits such as wolves and even marmots a help with certain ailments. Bear paws, for example, were thought to help increase one's resistance to cold temperatures. Such concoctions as powdered tiger bone dissolved in liquor, which is attributed all sorts of benefits for the body, is still a popular medicinal drink today in parts of East Asia.

Besides food and medicine, game animals were also a source of material for clothing. A bit of wolf or snow leopard fur trim to an ordinary robe indicated the wearer was a member of the tribal elite. Fur-lined jackets, trousers, and boots were a welcome insulator against the bitter steppe winters, too.

🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast?

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

ily take ur time <3

HEYYYYY ur okay tumblr is stupid and life happens!!

thank u for asking about my favorite boys 😭💛

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

HYA -> it’s a cop out if i say most of them LMAO but i think satisfaction or relaxation is the hardest for him to deal with. which is funny, because you’d think bc he’s constantly about that comfortable lifestyle that he would be down with it but really he has a hard time not feeling on edge. even outside of paramour it takes a few years after he and amon are married even for him to *truly* relax.

DARREN -> grief or loss. he’s never experienced it before until [REDACTED] happens and the manner in which it occurs makes him spiral so bad. even when the situation does get solved it does definitely change him; after the fact he’s much less laid back and quicker to anger (it calms down after awhile But definitely he’s not as chill as he tries to be). it’s kind of the turning point for him and the narrative too so!

TOPH -> the benefit for being alive for hundreds of years is that toph has kind of seen the full breadth of emotions at most of their points and in general he’s like… a midway point between darren and hya. unbothered in his own way. from what i can think of i don’t really think there’s an emotion he “struggles” with but love is definitely a new one for him; he’s never felt it this intensely.

🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast?

HYA -> not really a breakfast guy, but usually coffee cake and coffee is his go to

DARREN -> blood cough. but p much his only comfort food is fried pig blood curd lol he always wants to eat it even after vampirism is explained to him LOL

TOPH -> he likes mint flavored things so like, mint juleps, mint chocolate ice cream, minty milkshakes etc. i think for breakfast he had banana mint pancakes once and he desperately wants them again

🙈 SEE-NO-EVIL - whats a side of your oc that they don't want to show other people?

HYA -> any side of himself tbh but mostly any side that indicates “weakness” (so his soft side p much. he knows it exists but he doesn’t like to think about it)

DARREN -> there isn’t any, he’s very open. he wants people to get to know him and understand him lol.

TOPH -> his anger; it’s just not pretty for anyone involved

🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

HYA -> he’s not a fan of water beyond his bathtub, be it rain, the ocean, etc. (he’s kinda similar to me in this way). he likes to say he’s not afraid of it but i think he is, personally, to a certain extent. i mean he already has trauma around showers and he doesn’t particularly like water generally. he doesn’t know how to swim and he has no desire to because he also thinks it looks ridiculous.

DARREN -> he can swim he’s just lazy so he likes to stay on the beach lol. he thinks the ocean is pretty and doesn’t mind fucking around with his friends in the shallow parts of the tide.

TOPH -> can swim, not a big fan of it. doesn’t really see much of a reason to get in the water lol.

(can you tell that most of my ocs were made by someone who hates swimming and the ocean cuz like jfc LMAO. if i make an oc that likes water (ie: quill) they’re extremely specific but most of my other ones are like fuck that noise)

🪤 MOUSE TRAP - what will always lure them into certain danger? a loved one in danger? a promise of something they are always searching for?

HYA -> nothing lol, at least for a long time. he’s very self preservation >>>>>>> everything else. this definitely changes bc of amon tho 🌚

DARREN -> his family and friends. he cares about them more than anything and can be very do first think later if he hears of one of them hurt.

TOPH -> i suppose if anything WAS dangerous to him then it would be a similar vein to darren where he’s getting in trouble because of his friends. he cares about them deeply. but also bc he’s a p powerful demon and in this particular story there isn’t really a threat to him or his power so he’s also perhaps a bit more chill about this.

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

HYA -> is the little spoon and idk amon just holding him when he’s grumpy like a cat is very cute to me

DARREN -> tends to snort when he laughs it’s adorable

TOPH -> he’s the first one to hold nix and trisha’s baby when she’s born because if it wasn’t for him saving trish’s life years before, dolley wouldn’t exist. he’s very emotional about it but doesn’t cry til he’s out of the hospital room LOL.

National Blueberry Cheesecake Day 

Try making your own blueberry cheesecake, or visit a bakery or restaurant to enjoy this cheesy, sweet, tangy graham cracker-crusted treat.

There isn’t much in life that people love more than the rich, tangy flavor of an indulgent cheesecake. Life can be so much sweeter when everyone has the opportunity to be introduced to blueberry cheesecake!

A crumbly graham cracker or cookie crust with a rich cheesy base is topped with a blueberry syrup and then capped with fresh blueberries. This might just be the only thing that could possibly be better than the New York original!

National Blueberry Cheesecake Day was established to ensure that people everywhere know how incredible this dessert is and are given the permission they need in order to celebrate appropriately.

This holiday is a great chance for anyone and everyone to try it for themselves and pass the message on to friends and family!

History Of National Blueberry Cheesecake Day

The origins of the cheesecake can be traced back as far as Ancient Greece, when the first recipes for this cake were put into writing. In the centuries that followed, the dessert would undergo countless changes until it developed into what we know (and love) it to be today.

As different countries embraced this dish, and differing ingredients were more easily available, regional varieties came to be. Different combinations of cheese would often be used depending on the particular location, but the love of the cheesecake itself was certainly universal!

When it comes to cheesecake, cream cheese is the favored primary ingredient in America, while Italian recipes seem to prefer ricotta as a base. In addition, there is a special kind of curd cheese known as “quark” that is used in cheesecakes throughout Poland and Germany.

As these recipes came to be localized, new innovations were being made by the bakers who developed them. One of these new ideas included the addition of fruit to the cheesecake, and the best of all (of course!) was the enticing and delicious blueberry!

Of course, blueberries are delicious in their own right. Native to North America, blueberries were originally called “star berries” by the Native Americans who inhabited the lands prior to the Europeans. Blueberries are an extremely healthy fruit that is called a “superfood”, due to its high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants. Adding these yummy berries to the top of a cheesecake probably doesn’t make them healthier, but it certainly makes them tasty!

In addition to the standard options, there are a number of variations of blueberry cheesecake–as if the original wasn’t good enough! Some of the interesting variations include chocolate blueberry cheesecakes, blueberry mint cheesecakes and even blueberry cheesecakes made with kombucha!

The inventiveness of the cheesecake lover seems to know no limits, which is certainly a benefit to those who are eating it. National Blueberry Cheesecake Day is the perfect opportunity to explore them all!

How to Celebrate National Blueberry Cheesecake Day

For people who love all things related to cheesecake and blueberries, this is going to be an absolute favorite holiday to celebrate, whether on their own or with family and friends! Eating a piece of traditional blueberry cheesecake is only just the beginning.

Try celebrating National Blueberry Cheesecake Day in one of these ways, or come up with other ideas:

Try Making a Blueberry Cheesecake

While traditional, baked cheesecakes come with their own set of challenges in making them, very many shortcut recipes are now available online–and a variety of them do not even require use of the oven!

For an easy no-bake blueberry cheesecake, mix crushed graham crackers or butter cookies with melted butter and sugar to create a crust. Press into a pie pan or cake pan. Then beat milk, powdered sugar, vanilla and cream cheese to create the filling. Add a bit of lemon juice as desired. Spread on top of the graham cracker crust and then top with premade, canned blueberry pie filling. Refrigerate and enjoy!

Host a Blueberry Cheesecake Event

By gathering together a large group of friends, anyone can enjoy a full range of blueberry cheesecakes. Encourage guests to bake and bring their own variety.

Don’t forget that different varieties of the blueberry bush are available too! It would be possible to try it with the rabbiteye blueberry, or the northern highbush blueberry. Each of these varieties brings their own flavor to the table, creating a unique twist on a basic blueberry cheesecake.

Turn it into a charity event by holding a tasting contest and then auctioning off or selling individual pieces of the blueberry cheesecakes to the crowd.

Try a New Variety of Blueberry Cheesecake

Don’t let National Blueberry Cheesecake Day pass by without sampling all the amazing varieties of this cake that the world has to offer. Most people will be delighted and amazed at just how many ways it can be prepared and enjoyed!

Consider these ideas for a new take on this favorite classic dessert:

Add to the fun by using lemon zest and lemon juice in the recipe to give a little pop of tangy flavor.

For a truly Italian flare, add a little bit of honey to the graham cracker crust and then pile fresh mint and fresh blueberries on top of the cheesecake.

Instead of an actual cheesecake, try blueberry cheesecake muffins! Simply make a normal blueberry muffin recipe, but add a dollop of sweetened cream cheese in the middle and then bake. It’s a delicious way to enjoy a variation of blueberry cheesecake without even needing a fork!

On the afternoon of February 14, Junaid Khan, 32, and his nephew Nasir Khan, 25, left their small village of Ghatmeeka in India’s northwestern state of Rajasthan to attend a family function. They didn’t come back.

“When they didn’t return the same night, we got worried,” says Arshad Khan, 44, Junaid’s brother-in-law. “Their phones were switched off as well. We searched for them the whole day.”

Two days later, the men’s bodies were found inside a burned-out vehicle in the village of Loharu, around 240 kilometers away in the neighboring state of Haryana. On their way home after midnight, members of a far-right extremist group had allegedly abducted, tortured, and killed the men, who are Muslims, on suspicion of smuggling cows—animals that are considered sacred by Hindus. Consuming beef and transporting cattle is not illegal, but several states have passed restrictive laws over the past few years, essentially criminalizing a profession that is dominated by Muslims.

“Why did they have to be killed? What was their fault?” Khan says. “Who will look after their poor families now?”

Among the group suspected by police of murdering Junaid and Nasir is 28-year-old Monu Manesar, a high-profile YouTuber who has built a huge following online with his videos of cow vigilantism. Manesar, who is reportedly now on the run, is one of a large ecosystem of sectarian influencers on Indian social media who have benefited from the country’s nationalistic turn under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Human rights advocates say that their content—which is prevalent across Western-owned platforms—is exacerbating social division, and even leading to vigilante attacks on religious minorities.

“We have laws against hate speech that are being used selectively,” Aakar Patel, chair of Amnesty International India says. “Hate speech is allowed both by the government and the social media companies.”

In an email statement, YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon says that YouTube has suspended monetization on Manesar’s channel for violating its creator responsibility policy. “We also removed 9 videos from the channel in question for violating our harassment policies,” he said.

For the past five years, Manesar—a leading member of the Bajrang Dal, a far-right Hindu group—has been part of a team of cow vigilantes along the Rajasthan-Haryana border, and has uploaded videos of their attacks, predominantly on Muslims, to YouTube. His posts often begin with a car chase in the dark and end with group members posing with a cow they have “rescued.”

Manesar and his group have made no secret of the violence they subject their victims to. In June 2016, he was one of a number of people who appeared in a video in which two Muslim men were stopped in Badarpur border, South East Delhi, and forced to eat a concoction of cow dung, urine, milk, and curd. The men had been accused of smuggling beef. The video went viral on Twitter.

In one of his videos on YouTube, Manesar's team is even seen shooting at a truck driven by someone they accuse of being a cow smuggler, in an attempt to deflate its tires. 

In January this year, Manesar and his team caught three Muslim men they accused of being cow smugglers. They livestreamed on Facebook as they interrogated the men. One of the men, 22-year-old Waaris Khan, died from internal injuries the same day. His family says he was lynched, but police say he died in an accident. The Facebook Live video has since been deleted.

Manesar also has posted routinely on Instagram—where he has 42,000 followers—including images of people he’s alleged to be cow smugglers, often visibly injured. In April 2022, he posted a video on his Instagram account showing a group of men assaulting a Muslim scrap picker with sticks. The caption reads, “These are the scrap-pickers that throw stones at our soldiers and Hindutva supporters.”

Meta did not respond to a request for comment.

Khan said that people in his region are aware of Manesar’s social media. “It is supposed to send a message to us,” he says.

In October 2022, YouTube awarded Manesar a silver play button for crossing 100,000 followers. YouTube’s literature says that Creator Awards are not automatically given when subscriber targets are hit, but are granted at the discretion of the company, which reviews channels before handing out the rewards. YouTube did not respond to a request for comment on Manesar’s award.

Comments under Manesar’s videos are mostly adulatory, thanking him and his team for his “service.” He has also had official endorsements. He’s posted pictures of himself with police officers and bureaucrats. In October 2021, Haryana police included him in a special task force to prevent cow smuggling. Three huge rallies were organized by right-wing organizations on February 19, 21, and 22.

On February 24, thousands of people took to the street in Rajasthan and Haryana to demand justice for Junaid and Nasir Khan. The police filed a complaint against more than 500 people for blocking the highway and suspended internet service in the district for three days, citing the possibility of communal tension.

Human rights groups say that sectarianism has flourished in the political environment created by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party. The party has routinely equated national and religious identities, accusing people who criticize its politics of being anti-Hindu, while itself being accused of promoting hate speech against Muslims. In January, the government forced social media platforms to block clips of a controversial BBC documentary about Modi’s alleged involvement in intercommunal violence in 2002.

The government has banned hundreds of YouTube channels for spreading “fake news” or promoting “anti-Indian views.” But at the same time, there has been a proliferation of channels that broadcast extreme nationalist rhetoric.

In June 2022, a report by the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights found that sectarian content was widespread in India. “The most troubling abuse of YouTube in India involves the targeting of Muslims by backers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and other right-leaning Hindu nationalist groups.” The report concluded. “Religious intolerance long predated the arrival of YouTube in India, but widespread social media use has intensified the hostility.”

In December 2022, an investigation by The Caravan found dozens of Hindu nationalist YouTube channels that were broadcasting extremist content, with viewing figures in the hundreds of millions. Senior BJP leaders had been interviewed on some of the channels, which were “rapidly out-performing mainstream news channels in terms of their reach.”

Amnesty International’s Patel says that the proliferation is partly due to the growth of the platforms and the number of people now using them, “and partly because of the fact that hate speech has been condoned. If you make heroes out of people who abuse minorities and are violent, you will encourage more people to follow that path.”

Some nationalist and sectarian YouTubers have built massive followings, including Vikas Pathak, who had more than 800,000 followers on his Hindustani Bhau channel before it was suspended in 2020, after he posted a video in which he threatened to sexually assault a YouTuber from Pakistan. Days after his suspension, he managed to start another channel, which has 83,000 subscribers. He also has 2.2 million followers on Instagram.

Prem Krishnavanshi, a YouTuber from Uttar Pradesh with just over 87,000 subscribers, has built a career on pop songs aimed toward supporters of Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism. The lyrics of one of Krishnavanshi’s songs, released in 2019, roughly translates to, “You are not humans, you are butchers. Enough of Hindu-Muslim brotherhood.”

“The anti-Muslim online hate industry is booming and the companies are benefiting from it,” says Alishan Jafri, co-author of the Caravan report.

Malon, the YouTube spokesperson, says that the company removed more than 156,000 videos in the third quarter of 2022 for violating hate speech policies.

“Beyond removing harmful content, we also leverage our recommendations system and monetization tools, to promote a healthy ecosystem,” the statement read. “YouTube has always had clear community guidelines that outline what is allowed on the platform and we remove flagged videos and comments that violate our policies. These policies are global, meaning we apply them consistently to all creators on the platform, regardless of their background, political viewpoint, position or affiliation.”

Malon also says that creators can be penalized for abuse or violence that occurs off its platform.

As of February 28, Manesar’s YouTube channel was still active. He has added about 7,000 subscribers since the Khans’ deaths. 

India is YouTube’s largest market, with 467 million users—nearly twice as many as the US. 

Prateek Waghre, the policy director of the Internet Freedom Foundation, a digital rights group, says that YouTube’s recommendation algorithms may be partially to blame for the spread of this sectarian content. “YouTube has not been particularly open about its recommender system,” he says. “But the algorithm typically prioritizes engagement. If you watch a certain type of content, it will look to feed a similar type of content.”

Waghre says that detecting hate speech is complex in India, where people often switch between languages. But, he says, social media companies tend to be slow to react when alerted to potentially dangerous content. “Even inaction is a form of action,” he says. “Until it becomes a significant PR crisis, they tend not to take action. Sadly, this is consistent behavior across platforms. These companies need to think about how they perceive their neutrality.”

But Waghre also says he suspects that social media companies are nervous about going after nationalist figures, in case a backlash threatens their business interests. “If you take action against a popular right-wing figure, there is a good chance you might be targeted in some way or the other,” he says.

Patel says that more violence is inevitable as hate speech continues to spread, online and offline. “I am 53 years old,” he says. “I have not seen tensions running so high permanently through the country.”

Cheese is a dairy product produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of either rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese.[1] Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout.

Over a thousand types of cheese exist and are produced in various countries. Their styles, textures and flavors depend on the origin of the milk (including the animal's diet), whether they have been pasteurized, the butterfat content, the bacteria and mold, the processing, and how long they have been aged for. Herbs, spices, or wood smoke may be used as flavoring agents. The yellow to red color of many cheeses is produced by adding annatto. Other ingredients may be added to some cheeses, such as black pepper, garlic, chives, or cranberries. A cheesemonger, or specialist seller of cheeses, may have expertise with selecting the cheeses, purchasing, receiving, storing and ripening them.[2]

For a few cheeses, the milk is curdled by adding acids such as vinegar or lemon juice. Most cheeses are acidified to a lesser degree by bacteria, which turn milk sugars into lactic acid, then the addition of rennet completes the curdling. Vegetarian alternatives to rennet are available; most are produced by fermentation of the fungus Mucor miehei, but others have been extracted from various species of the Cynara thistle family. Cheesemakers near a dairy region may benefit from fresher, lower-priced milk, and lower shipping costs.

Cheese is valued for its portability, long shelf life, and high content of fat, protein, calcium, and phosphorus. Cheese is more compact and has a longer shelf life than milk, although how long a cheese will keep depends on the type of cheese.[3] Hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, last longer than soft cheeses, such as Brie or goat's milk cheese. The long storage life of some cheeses, especially when encased in a protective rind, allows selling when markets are favorable. Vacuum packaging of block-shaped cheeses and gas-flushing of plastic bags with mixtures of carbon dioxide and nitrogen are used for storage and mass distribution of cheeses in the 21st century.[3]

Eating healthy food at night before bed can be a good choice as long as you make mindful selections. The key is to opt for foods that are light, easy to digest, and won't cause discomfort during sleep. Here are some healthy bedtime snack options:

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a popular and nutritious dairy product that has gained widespread acclaim for its many health benefits and versatile culinary uses. It is made by straining regular yogurt to remove most of the whey, resulting in a thicker and creamier texture. Here are some key characteristics and benefits of Greek yogurt:

High Protein Content: Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein, making it a popular choice among those looking to increase their protein intake. It typically contains around twice the protein of regular yogurt, which can aid in muscle maintenance and appetite control.

Probiotics: Many varieties of Greek yogurt contain live probiotic cultures, which support gut health and digestion. These beneficial bacteria can help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the digestive system.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese made from the curds of cow's milk. It is a versatile and nutritious dairy product that has been enjoyed for centuries. Here are some key characteristics and benefits of cottage cheese:

High Protein Content: Cottage cheese is renowned for its high protein content. It is an excellent source of complete protein, providing all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle growth and repair. This makes it a favorite among athletes and those looking to increase their protein intake.

Low in Fat: Cottage cheese comes in various fat content options, including low-fat and non-fat varieties. It's a good choice for individuals looking to maintain a lower-fat diet.

Berries

Berries are small, colorful, and delicious fruits that are not only a treat for the taste buds but also packed with nutrients and health benefits. There are many different types of berries, including strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries, among others. Here's a look at some of the key features and benefits of berries:

Rich in Antioxidants: Berries are known for their high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant colors. Antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals and contribute to overall health.

Low in Calories: Berries are generally low in calories, making them a healthy and guilt-free addition to your diet. They can be a satisfying and sweet option for those looking to manage their calorie intake.

Conclusion.

selecting the right healthy food to eat before bed is essential for promoting a good night's sleep and overall well-being. While individual dietary needs and preferences may vary, some key considerations for bedtime snacks include:

Lightness and Digestibility: Opt for foods that are easy to digest, as heavy or greasy foods can lead to discomfort and sleep disturbances.

Balanced Nutrients: A balanced bedtime snack should ideally include a combination of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote a feeling of fullness.

Electric Lady (woohoo)

[caducean-womens-winter-league]

"Do you want to play pro ball?"

The scout smiled disarmingly at Jessica H. Powers. Tracking this woman down had been less of a pain in the ass than anticipated - a lucky internet search somehow turned up her name in a public blog post of an Ultimate beer league, and he was more than happy to expense the price of posting up in the overpriced gastropub sponsoring said league.

Silence hung in the air, mixed with the aroma of a microbrewed stout, deep-fried cheese curds, and a "secret sauce" that he swore was just ranch dressing mixed with horseradish. Did she not hear him? This was a gift-wrapped chocolate box of a question - who wouldn't want to play pro ball?

"I'm not sure if you're familiar," he said, "but there's a professional winter league forming in Caduceus." He watched her closely for any reaction to the name of the medtech titan turned Caribbean micronation. This was the hardest part of the assignment. Caduceus was being dragged through the mud all over social media, and he was expected to find talented young women from one of the most radical generations since the Sixties and somehow persuade them to move their whole lives there. To his confusion, though, her face seemed totally blank.

"Oh! Um, yes, I've...heard about that." This was the hardest part of Jessica's daily life: somehow everything came back to baseball. She was trying her best to move on, her best to forget, her best to do something else, to go somewhere else, to be someone else. But every path she took led to the same place: the error.

The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error. The error.

The bat cracks, the ball is soaring almost over her head, she's backing up, she sticks up her mitt, and...the ball slips right over the edge of her mitt. It falls behind her. After a night wracked with such rampant anxiety that she could not eat or sleep, she had somehow forgotten how to catch a routine fly ball. She turns around, scrambles to throw to second just to stop the bleeding, but the batter's already rounding second and the lead runner is kicking up so much dust-

An RBI triple. Weak, weak, weak. So weak. Her coach tells her to shrug it off, but she can't even look her in the eye. For the rest of the game, her .343 bat is ice cold. It's the end of everyone's championship dreams, and it's all her fault.

Jessica H. Powers tried to snap her attention back to the stranger and smile. She had to leave the past behind, even if it was present tense in all her worst thoughts. "That's the league they keep showing commercials for, right?" she asked rhetorically. "Women's baseball is CWWL!" she said, in her best impression of the commerical's voiceover. Like millions of people across America, she was still wondering how "CWWL" and "cool" could be homophones.

"Right, okay, so you're familiar," the scout nodded. "I'd like to introduce you to the Iaso Fighters organization. I understand it's a big ask for you with college going on and all, but you'll be compensated generously..."

He pulled out a sample contract, going over compensation and benefits and your obligations and the four-year term. It all went through one of Jessica's ears and out the other. How could she accept something like this? She was a failure. She didn't know how to explain to him that she wasn't even in college.

"So I'll ask you again: do you want to play pro ball?" he said to her. It was a gift-wrapped chocolate box of a question. She knew this, but her brain kept warning her about needles in the shredded coconut and razor blades in the toffee and rat poison in the cherry cordial. Her eyes darted around the room and landed on her Ultimate teammates.

They were...excited for her? They were all smiling, pumping their fists, one mouthing "say 'yes'!" Did the world she lived in really believe in second chances, even for people like her? Was she...still someone who'd get picked first?

The silence hung in the air with the remembered aroma of disinfectant and the rubber on a grippy sock. This was another path that led back to the error, and it was the straightest and fastest path she'd happened upon so far. Maybe that had been her mistake all along: fleeing into obscurity instead of charging towards redemption. She didn't know what redemption could possibly look like right now, but it was what everyone seemed to want for her, from her parents to her old coach to her Ultimate teammates to this random stranger in the bar.

The voice of her mother echoes in her head: you have to try. It had been said to her over skinned knees and incomplete math homework and overcooked spinach and now she was hearing it again, even though her mother was a hundred miles away: you have to try.

"Yes."

The Nerge: Hunting in the Mongol Empire

The peoples of the Mongol Empire (1206-1368 CE) were nomadic, and they relied on hunting wild game as a valuable source of protein. The Asian steppe is a desolate, windy, and often bitterly cold environment, but for those Mongols with sufficient skills at riding and simultaneously using a bow, there were wild animals to be caught to supplement their largely dairy-based diet. Over time, hunting and falconry became important cultural activities and great hunts were organised whenever there were major clan gatherings and important celebrations. These hunts involved all of the tribe mobilising across vast areas of steppe to corner game into a specific area, a technique known as the nerge. The skills and strategies used during the nerge were often repeated with great success by Mongol cavalry on the battlefield across Asia and in Eastern Europe.

Hunted Animals

The Mongols, like other nomadic peoples of the Asian steppe, relied on milk from their livestock for food and drink, making cheese, yoghurt, dried curds and fermented drinks. The animals they herded - sheep, goats, oxen, camels and yaks - were generally too precious as a regular source of wool and milk to kill for meat and so protein was acquired through hunting, essentially any wild animal that moved. Animals hunted in the medieval period included hares, deer, antelopes, wild boars, wild oxen, marmots, wolves, foxes, rabbits, wild asses, Siberian tigers, lions, and many wild birds, including swans and cranes (using snares and falconry). Meat was especially in demand when great feasts were held to celebrate tribal occasions and political events such as the election of a new khan or Mongol ruler.

A basic division of labour was that women did the cooking and men did the hunting. Meat was typically boiled and more rarely roasted and then added to soups and stews. Dried meat (si'usun) was an especially useful staple for travellers and roaming Mongol warriors. In the harsh steppe environment, nothing was wasted and even the marrow of animal bones was eaten with the leftovers then boiled in a broth to which curd or millet was added. Animal sinews were used in tools and fat was used to waterproof items like tents and saddles.

The Mongols considered eating certain parts of those wild animals which were thought to have potent spirits such as wolves and even marmots a help with certain ailments. Bear paws, for example, were thought to help increase one's resistance to cold temperatures. Such concoctions as powdered tiger bone dissolved in liquor, which is attributed all sorts of benefits for the body, is still a popular medicinal drink today in parts of East Asia.

Besides food and medicine, game animals were also a source of material for clothing. A bit of wolf or snow leopard fur trim to an ordinary robe indicated the wearer was a member of the tribal elite. Fur-lined jackets, trousers, and boots were a welcome insulator against the bitter steppe winters, too.
