(ANTIMEDIA) On Tuesday afternoon, police accountability group United Against Police Terror-San Diego held a press conference at the San Diego Sheriff's Department headquarters, demanding answers as to why a threatening email sent to their website was traced back to the Sheriff's Department. UAPTSD focuses on documenting deaths related to police action and calls for reforms to law enforcement institutions.
In reaction to the email, Mitchell Sterling, spokesman for UAPTSD, posted on Facebook that the group was able to track the IP address of the email and use an IP lookup service to track the email to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department — specifically, the Communication Center located at 5555 Overland Avenue in Building 12.
Screen shot identifying the location the email was sent from.
United Against Police Terror-San Diego maintains #SDStolenLives, a list of people killed by San Diego law enforcement agencies, which includes over 240 killed, 400 brutalized, and at least 32 people killed by the San Diego Sheriff's Department alone.

Q: .GetProperty() can use for log on in property into the property sent? I'm using this function :
public static Object GetDate(this Object src, string propName)
{
    return src.GetType().GetProperty(propName).GetValue(src, null);
}

Suppose a sent propName = "Name" and the src is for example 'Person' object.
This function works perfect because return the value returned is the value of field 'Name' in 'Person'.
But now I need log on into a property inner other property. For Example, propName = "State.Country.Name"
(State and Country are other objects)
Then, if I use the function by passing propName = "State.Country.Name" and src = Person
(Persona is a object) the function will be returned the name of the Country?

A: Beware, this is untested. I don't remember the correct syntax but you could try:
public static Object GetValue(this Object src)
{
    return src.GetType().GetProperty(src.ToString()).GetValue(src, null);
}

Basically, you are just passing the instance of the property to the extension method - see no property name is passed:
Person p = new Person();
var personCountry = p.State.Country.GetValue();

Hope it works!

A: This works fine:
    static object GetData(object obj, string propName)
    {
        string[] propertyNames = propName.Split('.');

        foreach (string propertyName in propertyNames)
        {
            string name = propertyName;
            var pi = obj
                .GetType()
                .GetProperties()
                .SingleOrDefault(p => p.Name == name);

            if (pi == null)
            {
                throw new Exception("Property not found");
            }

            obj = pi.GetValue(obj);
        }
        return obj;
    }

What happens at a first appointment?
Are there any conditions that reflexology or the other complementary therapies are not suitable for?
Is It Ok To Have Reflexology If I Am Pregnant?
Should I tell my Doctor I am having a complementary therapy treatment?
Can I park easily when I come for a treatment?
I can't make my appointment, what should I do?
At the first appointment you will be asked to complete a full client consultation form asking about your lifestyle, health history and current problems. This is confidential but important to give me, the practitioner, a background to your current health status. This means a first appointment always takes approx 10 to 15 minutes longer.
This depends upon the therapy for which you are attending.
With Reflexology, you will be asked to remove your shoes and socks or tights, and then place your feet into a soothing footspa of warm water and essential oils. This is not strictly part of Reflexology but helps to relax your lower legs, whilst refreshing the feet, and getting over any embarrassment about smelly feet if you are coming straight from work. After drying your feet you stay in a nice comfortable armchair, whilst your feet are raised on a portaped, which means they are at the right level to carry out the Reflexology treatment.
If you are attending for an Aromatherapy massage, we will discuss the oils to be used in the massage, which I will then mix. I leave the room whilst you undress down to your knickers, and you then lie face down onto the couch, with a towel over your back. I return to the room and put an additional towel over your legs before commencing the massage.
For an Indian Head Massage treatment, you will be asked to remove the clothing on your top half (but can leave on your bra) and wrap a towel around yourself under your arms. You will then sit on a chair in the middle of the treatment room, and I will return to commence the seated massage.
A Hopi Ear Candles treatment is carried out fully clothed. You are asked to lie on your side, on the treatment couch. You will be covered with a throw, and then the side of your head is covered with a cloth with a hole in for the ear. The candle is lit and placed in to your ear to burn down, which takes approximately 10 minutes. This is then repeated on the other side, and after that you will receive a short relaxing face and neck massage; therefore it is best not to wear your best clothes, and certainly not to wear anything with a collar.
After any of the above treatments you are encouraged to drink a glass of water to flush out toxins.
During a Bach Flowers Remedy consultation I will ask you about the emotional issues you are going through currently and how they make you feel. I will then prepare a Bach Flowers remedy for you, which you will take away with you.
Most people will feel relaxed, calm and refreshed. However, some people may find that some reflexes are sensitive and pressing on them will cause a bit of discomfort for the few moments they are being treated. This discomfort normally only last about 30 seconds. Overall a treatment is relaxing.
Reflexology treatments have a cumulative effect and someone with an acute problem will need fewer treatments than when dealing with a chronic or long term condition. As a guide, if someone has 6 treatments they should definitely feel the benefit, but just one treatment on its own can be very beneficial, especially when not dealing with a specific problem. With other complementary therapies the numbers of treatments will vary and these will be discussed on an individual basis when you attend for the first appointment.
Any serious condition you have should always be mentioned to me before you make your appointment. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of a treatment please phone or email me to discuss before making the first appointment. Some chronic conditions may need the permission of your medical service provider before I can proceed.
Reflexology is safe and enjoyable for pregnant women. I recommend reflexology after the first trimester if the pregnancy is stable.
Aromatherapy is quite safe when used correctly and professionally. It is important to tell me about any health issues or allergies in the consultation prior to commencing the treatment so that I can use essential oils suitable for you. I do not use any preblended oils, but always blend just enough oil to use for you when you attend for your appointment. I can also advise you how to use essential oils safely I the home, and I can make a blend for you, for home use, to enhance your treatment.
If you are currently receiving treatment or medication from your Doctor or Consultant, then it is advisable to tell them of any other forms of treatment you are receiving.
Yes you can park on our hardstanding just up from the house.
Unfortunately no, I can only take cash or cheque.
Please let me know by phone or email as soon as you know you cannot make your appointment. At least 24 hours notice should be given of a cancellation, otherwise the full cost of a treatment will be charged. If you cannot attend for emergency or other extenuating reasons but re-book the treatment, no charge will be made.
If you have any other questions please contact me by phoning 01460 234693 or email me by clicking here.

Is Mono An STD?
Often called the "kissing disease," mono, or mononucleosis, is a disease that 95% of people in the United States will get during their life. Infections also impact kids, and estimates suggest that 50% of children will have mono by the time they're 5.
What is Mono?
Mono is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV. Adolescents and those between the age of 15 and 35 are most likely to contract this disease. What happens is that EBV will affect a person's white blood cells.
But mononucleosis can also be caused by something called "Cytomegalovirus," or CMV.
A lot of people don't know about CMV because roughly 85% to 90% of cases are caused by EBV. CMV, on the other hand, is a herpes virus.
Is Mono a Form of Herpes?
Yes. If a person has contracted mono by CMV, this means that the person had to come in direct contact with a person's bodily fluids that contained the CMV virus. But this can be contact through kissing, or it can be contact through sexual intercourse.
Technically, EBV is also a member of the herpes family, and it's found in most viruses around the world.
EBV is not highly contagious. A person may contract the disease through secretions of the penis, cervix or vagina, but most people will have EBV-related mono because of saliva.
This is why mono is called the "kissing disease."
If you kiss someone that has mono, the virus will be transported through the person's saliva, causing you to contract mono. A lot of kids, those that are mentioned in the statistic above, will contract it through saliva.
CMV mono is an STD.
The good news is that mono, while contagious if you're intimate with someone, is not as contagious as the flu or cold. You will not give someone mono by being next to them. Instead, you'll need to kiss or have sexual contact with the person to give them mono.
EBV-related mono can also be transmitted through:
Genital secretions
There have also been studies, one conducted in Ireland, that show EBV is a sexually transmitted disease. But when you go to an STD clinic, they'll often only classify mono as an STD when it is contracted through CMV.
Clinics often don't recognize EBV mono as a sexually transmitted disease despite the recent evidence backing the claim.
Keep in mind that kissing is not considered sexual intercourse, so this is what throws off the definition of EBV mono in clinics. However, studies are also showing that sexual intercourse is more likely to transmit mono than kissing.
Even if EBV isn't classified as an STD, it still acts much like a sexually transmitted disease.
So, what does this mean if mono is an STD or not?
A lot of people have mono – most of the country will contract it – and people don't want to have an "STD." There's almost a stigma that blocks the definition from being corrected because it's a lot easier to say I have "mono" than it is to say I have an "STD."
How Long Does Mono Last?
Mono impacts everyone differently, and a normal person will have mono for 2 – 4 weeks, but it will persist in the body. What does it mean to "have mono?" Well, a person will feel almost like they have the flu.
Mono will start to present 2 – 5 days after contracting the condition.
When this happens, a person will notice that fatigue starts to set in. The fatigue is often brushed to the side, but it's one of the first symptoms that you'll notice. Once the fatigue kicks in, you'll also start feeling a little off.
That feeling of being tired will make you a little "off."
But then you may also have a fever. The fever and feeling of being tired and fatigued may last a week or two.
The glands in your neck will often start to become swollen, and you may notice that you have a sore throat.
Children, will also experience the symptoms above, but they will often experience:
Children may also have a runny nose or a cough, and rashes tend to be more common when the child is given ampicillin. Some adults may have rashes and abdominal pain, too.
EBV infections are a little different because a person may experience all of the above symptoms, or they may only feel fatigued. The person may also have no symptoms at all. So, for the lucky few that will not experience any symptoms, they may not ever realize that they have any form of mono.
EBV-related mono is interesting because it will persist in the body for the rest of a person's life. You may be able to kiss someone and not give them mono because the virus isn't in the saliva, but it may present in the saliva on any given day.
The virus will also be able to persist outside of the body for several hours. This means that there's a small chance that it can be contracted from saliva hours after drinking from a cup, for example. Even eating the same food as someone that has mono poses a slight risk that mono is still on the food and can be contracted.
A person that contracts mono may have symptoms for months or years after the initial symptoms present, but 2 – 4 weeks is the norm. You may also suffer from mono for longer if you have anemia, hepatitis, mumps, pneumonia and other medical conditions.

Home » History » The Irish Language
Irish is an Indo-European language, a member of the Celtic language group. The Celtic language family is made up of the Continental Celtic languages (consisting of Celtiberian, Gaulish, and Galatian), and the Insular Celtic languages of the so-called British Isles. This insular group is further divided into the Brythonic group, consisting of Cumbrian, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton of which only Welsh and Breton have survived into modern times, and the Goidelic group of Scots Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, and Irish Gaelic, known in Ireland simply as Irish.
Irish has its roots in the original language of the Celtic peoples who emerged in south central Europe sometime around the 5th C. BCE. Theirs is known to archeologists as the La Tene culture. The extension of this proto-Celtic culture and language into virtually every region of Europe accounts for the many branches of Celtic languages. Celts in western continental Europe spoke Gaulish; Celts in Spain spoke Celtiberian; Celts in the Balkans spoke Galatian; Celts in the region of modern Switzerland spoke Lepontic.
All of these languages are now long extinct, as are most of the other branches of proto-Celtic. Celts who migrated onto the western edge of the known world spoke the Brythonic and Goidelic (also sometimes written Gaidhdelic) forms of the Insular Celtic language family.
Today Welsh is spoken fluently on a daily basis by approximately 300,000 people, Scots Gaelic by about 60,000, and Irish by about the same number. There are also tiny remnants of Patagonian Welsh and Cape Breton Gaelic in the New World. Liberalizing the definition of fluency could allow the numbers of Scots Gaelic and Irish speakers in Scotland to Ireland to as many as 600,000.
In recent years the Celtic languages of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, and the Isle of Man, have experienced something of a upsurge in interest and popular commitment as a result of intensely nationalistic feelings by Celtic peoples who believe deeply in their cultures and wish to protect them from the encroachments of an alien language and way of life. In some cases, as with Celtiberian, Galatian, Gaulish, Lepontic, Cumbric, and others, it is too late.
Irish cannot be said to be reborn, since it never died. But some of the current success of the language can be traced to the revivalist activities of The Gaelic League, founded by Douglas Hyde and Eoin MacNeill in 1893. This group of Irish patriots sought to save the embattled language and its rich cultural associations from the continuing pressure of English, a pressure that began to be felt in Ireland as early as the twelfth century with the arrival of the Anglo-Norman invasion. At the core of the Gaelic League's convictions was their concept of Irish culture as a distinct and unique national trait, and the Irish language as an absolutly essential component of that culture and the nation to which it belonged.
The Irish language first became an official part of the national educational curriculum in 1922. Today every Irish child learns Irish in school, but proficiency in the language varies considerably. Despite the fact that Irish is the first official language of the Republic of Ireland, most Irish people have only a nodding acquaintance with genuine fluency in their native tongue, and Ireland is far from a monoglot country. In the west of Ireland, there are substantial regional areas of native speakers called the Gaeltachta, and in these areas the language is spoken on a daily basis and English is a second language. These areas are in Counties Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Cork, and parts of Waterford and Wexford. In the Gaeltacht areas children are taught in Irish in the schools, and throughout Ireland more and more schools are being created that treat Irish as the principal language.
Today in Ireland the Irish language is far from being a quaint remnant of a different time. The language has its own radio stations, newspapers, a vibrant contemporary literature, and even a recently established television channel. The Irish language today is an emphatic statement of Irish intellectual independence and the indisputable vitality and richness of Irish culture.

Rain falls throughout the year, with more rain coming during the monsoon season from November to January. Showers are usually brief and heavy, yet refreshing.
Unity in diversity is the philosophy of this cosmopolitan city. Although geography has played a part in the success of Singapore, its mainstay is its people. Lacking natural resources, Singapore's strength is its hardworking, adaptable and resilient population.
Singapore has a population of 5.54 million people, comprising of Chinese, Malays, Indians and Eurasians and people of other descent. The original inhabitants were Malay fishermen, but after the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles and the establishment of a British trading post, Singapore became a magnet for migrants and merchants. Seeking a better life for themselves and their families, they came from the southern provinces of China, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Ceylon and the Middle East. Though inter-marriages have taken place over the years, each racial group within Singapore has retained its own cultural identity while developing as an integral part of Singapore community.
There are four official languages in Singapore: Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English. English is the ofiicial language of business and administration, and is widely spoken and understood. Most Singaporeans are bilingual, conversing in both their mother tongue and English. Malay is the national language.
Buses operate from 6 am to 12 midnight daily, and come at frequent intervals. Bus numbers and routes serviced are displayed at each bus stop. The bus fare can be paid using either coins (exact fare only) or an EZ-Link Card. For more information on bus routes, call the TransitLink hotline at 1800-7674333, or visit www.sbstransit.com.sg or www.smrt.com.sg .
The air-conditioned passenger train service is the fastest way to get around the island. The lines comprise of the North-South line, the East-West line, the North-East line, the Circle line and the Downtown line. Trains operate at intervals of between two and a half minutes and eight minutes from 5:30 am until 12:30 am daily. Train fares are paid using the EZ-Link Card or a standard ticket sold at dispensing machines at every MRT station.
The nearest MRT stations to NUS High School of Math & Science is Clementi Station (EW23).
The EZ-Link Card is a contactless smart card used to pay for MRT and bus fares. The card may be bought or revalued at any TransitLink Ticket Sales Office located in most MRT stations and bus interchanges. Each adult card is sold with a minimum value of S$10 plus a deposit fee of S$5.
Singapore Post outlets offer a wide range of postal, telecommunication and agency services. Most postal outlets are open on Monday to Fridays: 8:30 am to 5 pm and Saturdays: 8.30am to 1 pm. The cost is 30 cents for a local letter and 60 cents for an aerogramme to any part of the world.
The local currency is Singapore dollars and cents. Brunei currency is acceptable at par with the Singapore currency. Banking hours are on Mondays to Fridays: 10 am to 3 pm and Saturdays: 9:30 am to 1 pm.
Most banks handle travellers' cheques and change foreign currencies. However, some banks do not have foreign exchange dealings on Saturdays. Passports are required when cashing in travellers' cheques. A nominal commission may be charged. Other than the Singapore Dollar, the US, Australian and Brunei Dollars, the Japanese Yen and the British Pound are also accepted in most major shopping centres and big departmental stores.
Apart from banks and hotels, money can be changed wherever the sign "Licensed Money Changer" is displayed. Most shopping complexes have a licensed money changer. Visitors are discouraged from changing money with unlicensed money changers.
Major cards are widely accepted by establishments in Singapore. Should any shop insist on adding a surcharge, contact the respective card company to report the errant shop-owner.
It is perfectly safe to drink water straight from the tap in Singapore.
Singapore's medical facilities are among the finest in the world, with well-qualified doctors and dental surgeons. Pharmacies are ready available at supermarkets, department stores, hotels and shopping centres. Registered pharmacists generally work from 9am to 6pm. Most hotels have their own doctor on-call around the clock.
Tipping is not practised as most hotels and restaurants in Singapore already levy a 10% service charge on customers' bills.

https://minimumwage.blog.gov.uk/2022/05/06/lpc-kicks-off-2022-visits-programme-in-leicester-but-has-anything-changed/
Posted by: Jack Darby, Posted on: 6 May 2022 - Categories: Compliance and enforcement
Each year the Low Pay Commission (LPC) conducts field visits to collect evidence from workers, unions, campaigners, councils and employers on low pay-related issues in their areas. This is a crucial part of our annual cycle of work and the information people share with us is invaluable. This year our visits programme covers Leicester, Glasgow and Paisley, the Black Country, Conwy and Llandudno, Hastings and Rother, and Derry/Londonderry, the first two of which were held virtually.
11-12 May Black Country
15-16 June Conwy and Llandudno
6-7 July Hastings and Rother
3-4 August Derry
For our trip to Leicester, we concentrated specifically on compliance issues. We wanted to see what had changed since this article from 2020. At the LPC, we have a clear interest in understanding the impact of our recommendations, including what the barriers are to everyone receiving at least the statutory minimum wage level to which they are entitled. We publish annual reports on minimum wage compliance; and will be discussing the enforcement challenge, in Leicester and elsewhere, in a report later this year.
The headline is that low pay and the garment sector in Leicester are still a conundrum. On the one hand, we heard of systematic and deliberate non-compliance, involving circumvention of biometric 'clocking-on' arrangements, falsified time sheets, workers paying cash back to employers, and widespread 'phoenixing', whereby companies fold and regenerate, thus avoiding certain statutory employment rights.
However, simultaneously, we also heard that there have been significant and sustained levels of resource dedicated to enforcement work. At the centre of this has been Operation Tacit, a multi-agency drive led by the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) to ensure workers are being treated correctly and businesses are following regulations. But this work has not turned up the endemic non-compliance we heard about from others. It is important for all parties to understand the reasons for this disconnect.
We were very pleased to hear from HMRC's local enforcement team, which enabled us to understand in much better detail what their work consists of. Representatives of the Health and Safety Executive, the Home Office and the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, each with their own perspective, took the time to guide us through their contribution to non-compliance work, which is framed by the legislative powers under which they operate.
The notion of responsible supply chains, with well-known brands at the head of chain having a particularly important role to ensure compliance, was brought up by enforcement authorities and large-scale garment retailers. Interventions such as the Fast Forward initiative[1] and the Apparel and General Merchandise Public Private Protocol[2] seem to have been effective in providing a framework in which non-compliance can be detected and corrective action taken. But the lack of visible organisation amongst manufacturers in Leicester makes it impossible to engage them in a structured conversation about labour standards.
Researchers and independent auditors guided us through their work. It seems clear that there remains a part of the textile sector where non-compliance is determined and entrenched. These companies are highly resistant to through-the-front-door enforcement – something that the enforcement authorities are clearly now factoring into their operations.
As ever, it was a particular pleasure to be able to talk to some of the workers directly affected by these issues, albeit on the condition of anonymity (which is of course indicative of a problem in itself). Some were themselves paid at or above the National Living Wage (NLW), but nevertheless believed non-compliance to be widespread and had friends and family members who experienced it.
Others were directly employed in jobs for which they received significantly below the NLW, were told that they could be replaced by people who would work for even less, were unable to raise concerns without fearing dismissal, had no faith in external channels (such as ACAS or the HMRC hotline) and witnessed or suffered from workplace bullying. We were also told about strong community pressures against speaking out. Working for a good manager or owner was seen as a reasonable aspiration as well as both valuable and important
All stakeholders we spoke to agreed that even if there were more effective enforcement activity, with greater acceptance from the community, incentives to be non-compliant are still strong, especially with an economic model that forces down cost. The dexterity shown in the 'phoenixing' process means that however well-resourced, enforcement work struggles to keep pace with the proliferation of new companies operated by the same bad actors. The circumstances therefore require a proactive approach to make non-compliance socially unacceptable and economically unattractive. Leicester City Council in particular described to us the innovative work being done by the local authority for which they deserve credit. There are no easy answers, but a range of possible measures which we will explore in our forthcoming report.
Thanks to the LPC secretariat for organising an extremely useful and informative virtual visit, and to all those we spoke with for their time and candour. Our findings and recommendations will be published in full in an enforcement-focused report published later in the year. If you are in one of the remaining four site visit areas and would like to speak with us, contact the Commission secretariat at lpc@lowpay.gov.uk.

Using a flat head screwdriver, very carefully remove the springs from inside of the frame there is an indentation on each side of the spring to make removal with a screwdriver easy. We suggest you put your hand over the spring before it is released in case it springs out !
Repeat the process of removing the springs until all springs have been removed and then position the frame in the orientation of the item to be put inside.
If you look at the corner of the frame section, you can see a little Metal corner plate with a screw though the middle.
Using a Flat head screw driver, un-tighten each screw on the bottom left corner plate.
Repeat the process above on the bottom right corner plate.
Slide out the complete section of the frame.
Slide the glazing and backing out from inside the frame.
You can now remove the protective cover on the glazing, please remember the glazing always has two protective covers on and these need to be removed from both sides, it is vacuum packed on and can sometimes be tricky to see; if you dig your nail into the corner it will be revealed.
With the protective covers removed from the Plexiglas, place the item you are framing in between the MDF backing and the Plexiglas, be careful to keep at least the inside of the Plexiglas nice and clean, as you can always clean the outside afterwards.
Carefully slide the glazing, item and backing back into the frame.
Slide the top section back in.
Now make sure all four corners of the frame meet up and align correctly, make adjustments as necessary and then tighten all screws on all corner plates.
Using a flat head screwdriver push the springs back in under the inside of frame.
You will have two hanging plates and cord. We usually put the hanging plates into the frame channels for you but just in case you have to move or re-position them.
Repeat step above on the other side.
Check the position of each hanging plate is set the same distance from the top of the frame and then screw down tight.
Loop the cord through the two d-rings and tie up as securely as possible.

This blog is going to kick off our series on Core Values. Recently much of our writing has been less about "fitness" and more about achieving long term success in fitness and in life. In the past blogs we addressed goals and quitting(you may want to read them first). The next way to continue this discussion is to discuss Core Values. We will start with an overview of our Core Values at Evolution Fitness, then our subsequent blogs will discuss how Core Values play into achieving goals in our everyday lives. Core Values are two words that drive companies and individuals whether they have specifically identified them or not. Unfortunately, they have turned into obligatory statements and generalities. There is nothing general about a core value. They are THE WHY you do what you do, which drives the HOW you do what you do, so you can do the WHAT that you do. Sometimes if you ask a small business what their values are, you will be met with either a stunned look or a general statement of we sell great ________. The same can be said when talking to an individual about their personal values. Try it, ask someone you are close with what their core values are. Some may really know them, but many will pause….. think for a few moments…… and come up with a list, with no understanding of what they truly mean. They may say something like, honesty, family, and friendship. That is a great start, but what does it really mean? How does that show up in your life? Knowing and living your values IS THE KEY to understanding yourself, or your business, and why we make the decisions we do a on daily basis. Have you ever made a big decision in a split second without thinking and it was the absolute best decision? It probably had everything to do with your core values whether you think so or not. Have you ever made a decision that caused stress and had you upset with yourself? The reason for the stress was much likely you made a decision that went against one of your core values.
We see big corporations talk about Core Values and Mission Statements and they may even have them engraved on walls. Some live their values and it shows in everything they do, like Southwest Airlines. Customer Service is one of their core values. It can be witnessed by the friendliness of staff, hilarious on-board announcements, and no bag fees. Southwest creates a customer experience. I am sure there are some instances of less than stellar service, but more often than not they do the right thing. There are other companies like Walmart that have the Mission of "We help people save money so they can live better." They do great on the first part of, but helping people live better isn't their forte, at least not if you work for them.
When the core values of Evolution Fitness were put together they represented the WHY, Evolution began in the first place, and why we are in business today. One of the biggest things we have been known for is having an educated staff that offers high quality instruction. If you are going to train with us you will have someone making sure you are doing it right. Recently, we had a client sign up with us because her trainer moved and told her, "Make sure you continue to train, and I want you to go to Evolution because they do it right." I never met that trainer, but I was honored and I had a deep sense of pride in the knowing that is exactly WHY I started Evolution. It is so deeply rooted in what we do. Even though I personally haven't taught many of our classes in years, it made me realize the staff holds those values as a part of them.
A few weeks ago I was discussing with a friend how I was instructing our rowing class to clean up their form. I can get fired up about people doing it right and not just turning a training session of mindless exercise. He asked me, "Why are you like that, what makes that so important to you?" Without a pause, I said "That is my standard, that is what Evolution is about. If people want mindless exercise, boot campy circuit training with burpees 'till you drop, they can go waste their money somewhere else. We are the place people come to do it right and have a purpose in their training." I got charged up when I said it, and I was excited. I know that is a value we MUST embrace and own if we are to have integrity with our business. Without it, I would rather sell knick-knacks at the flea market. Core values ARE YOUR STANDARDS whether you are a person or a business.
Every staff meeting at Evolution we go around the group and have the team discuss how our company values have played out in their lives or with their clients. It is inspiring to see when the team discusses their personal goals being achieved or educating themselves either in fitness, or learning new skills that have nothing to do with fitness. We share experiences of member success stories small and big. Our values drive us.
Innovating and education is the foundation of Evolution. In the years leading up to opening Evolution it seemed as if I was on a plane flying across the country or driving to events hundreds of miles a way to take a course and learn concepts to bring back to our members. When we opened our doors we started bringing national level coaches and authors in to teach our staff and the Tucson Community. This year alone our staff has spent $10,000 on their continuing education and the year isn't even over. It is pretty awesome to be around a group that is always finding ways to get better. They understand that fitness and strength is more than mindless exercise. They care and want to utilize the best practiced methods to help people move better, become stronger, and make lifelong changes not just lose weight for a challenge.
I have lost count of the times I have seen members reach out to our team for support. I have seen tears pour out and struggles happen in our members' lives and the Evolution Team steps up in big ways. It gives me a huge feeling of gratitude. There have been numerous times where our team has stayed late, not being on the clock just to make sure that a member was getting the attention they needed or reached out to a member with a phone call because we haven't seen them in awhile and that they were thinking about them. I have seen beginners in our classes having some difficulty and watched our team jump into a class they weren't teaching to help a member get extra attention so they felt more comfortable. This is the Evolution difference. We aren't perfect all of the time and we can always improve our service, but our staff must have the spirit of serving others to be on board. One of the things we discuss daily is, how can we be better, what can we do to improve.
Having fun is a crucial part of the experience. We are in the people business. If we lose site of this aspect then we are no different than a big box gym. We constantly have numerous events for our members to train for and have an outlet to put their training to the test and get our community together. To see members show up and lift a weight they never imagined when they walked in the door, or row a 2000m time trial, or have them sign up for a competition is life changing! It creates a ripple of success for others around them in the community. We have never been about before and after pics, it is in the outcomes of helping people transform themselves with improved strength, confidence, and health that separate what we do. The problem we see with the fitness industry is that so many people are about weight loss and the scale, but they lose track of the process. Falling in love and having success with the process is something you can't take away and can't be tracked with the scale.
It is amazing to see the friendships that have been created at Evolution. When someone has great things happen, the community rejoices. When individuals are going through a rough time the community steps up to support without a hesitation. It is who we are.
We strive to meet our Core Values consistently, and all decisions we make must be filtered through them. It could be easy to feel the pinch of a slow month to try and offer some gimmicky supplement to sell, or offer a trendy group exercise class to the schedule to increase sales, but that isn't why we are here. Many times we are understaffed at Evolution because we care not only about a potential trainer's technical ability, but the ability of the trainer to be of service to our members and work along side our team. At the end of the day our values don't change based on how much revenue we create or lose because they are not driven by profit. It just happens when we live by our values profit happens.
Now that you know a little more on what our Core Values are about and how they apply to our day to day stay tuned for our next blog on finding your Core Values and Achieving your Goals in more than just fitness. Knowing where Fitness and health fit in your value system will dictate all of your decisions.

I personally don't believe in censorship; I'm a pro-choice chick all the way. I agree – there's a lot of abhorrent crap out there, but my problem with censorship is who gets to decide whether it is or isn't abhorrent crap. The closest I've come to questioning the merit of a book was reading about Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo, a married couple responsible for the death of three young girls including Homolka's sister.
"George Eliot's novel Adam Bede was attacked as the "vile outpourings of a lewd woman's mind," and the book was withdrawn from circulation libraries in Britain.
Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass (published in 1833) was threatened with banning by Boston's district attorney unless the book was expurgated. The public uproar brought such sales of his books that Whitman was able to buy a house with the proceeds.
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was banned by the governor of Hunan province in China because, he said, animals should not use human language and it was disastrous to put animals and humans on the same level.

Blaise Tapp: Reading crisis needs to be top of Prime Minister's agenda
Hartlepool college to welcome major local employers to big apprenticeship event
Building work to create new Hartlepool school building hailed by independent inspectors
Work to create a new school in Hartlepool has been described as "inspiring" by independent inspectors.
By Tom Patterson
Wednesday, 7th August 2019, 4:45 pm
Updated Wednesday, 7th August 2019, 5:05 pm
BAM Construction workers celebrate their 'school report' at the English Martys School site
The standard of work in the 71-week project to create a 1,200-place English Martys School in Catcote Road, was praised after It was inspected by the independent construction industry's Considerate Constructors Scheme.
The new building will replace the existing one and is being constructed on the land previously occupied by the school's football and rugby pitches.
The contractors behind the £21 million scheme – Gateshead based BAM Construction – recorded four sets of 90% scores out of five, and one of 80%.
An 80% score is regarded by the inspectors as "excellent" while 90% is "exceptional."
Jason Kelly, BAM's construction manager, said: "Our attitude at BAM is that we expect to create outstanding buildings for our clients, exactly as they want them, but it is not just what we build but how we build it that matters.
"That is why this inspection is so pleasing for us at BAM. It shows that we've gone to great lengths to involve the community, respect and protect our workforce, look after everybody's safety, and of course, build sustainably so we look after the environment."
Among the sustainability measures is tree and grass planting to help attract wildlife, and a community recycling initiative which has been greatly appreciated by the users of the neighbouring allotment, for whom the BAM team is building a new access road from recycled stone.
The inspector's report is full of glowing praise for the construction of the new school.
It says: "Almost anything that seems possible has been or will be undertaken. This site is one of the best I have visited."
Jason's team has given work opportunities for 17 apprentices, and engaged six local schools which between them have introduced construction to over 1800 local children.
It has also sponsored several charities.
Work at the school is progressing well and on schedule.
Jason added: "We're onto the internal finishes for the main building, following which we will be demolishing the old one, and re-landscaping the recreational areas."
The scheme is running to its programme and budget, with completion of the whole scheme to follow in March.

History Notes & Question Papers
Yoliswa Ngeno and the history class of 2015.
To the history class of 2016
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for making it to Grade12, the history class of 2015 is very proud of you and we believe that you are going to make the best of this year.
In 2014 we took part in a journey that was very inspirational and we didn't know that it would be life changing. We had our doubts and fears at first but everything worked out just fine. The history class of 2014 planned it in 2012 and we experienced it!! The journey meant a lot to me as an individual, I got to see how beautiful Gods creation actually is, how broad our history is and most importantly I experienced that with my teacher and fellow historians. I thought I knew a lot but the trip made me realise how little I knew. It opened a door for traveling and it taught me that there's still so much to learn out there. Climbing Table Mountain was the highlight of the trip. It was a remarkable experience. As I was going up the mountain I realised how the journey was so similar to life, going up is so hard, we kept falling down, sprained our ankles, had tears in our eyes and at some point wanted to give up and go down. But we kept looking down and realised how far we have come to give up now and looked up and saw how close we were to the top. We thought it was just going to be smooth sailing, we are just going to reach the top just like that. However, the anticipation kept us going, we were so looking forward to see what was on the top of the mountain. So is life, it's so hard getting to where you want to be, not everything will work out the way you want it to but it's the possibility of having a dream come true and wanting to taste success that makes us keep going and make the journey exciting.
When I got to the top of the mountain, I felt a sense of achievement. The view was so nice, looking at where I started to where I was I just couldn't believe I had made it, it was an amazing feeling, right there and then I realised that nothing is impossible and I could achieve anything I put my mind into. My perception of life changed and I believed in myself in a way I thought I never will. I understood that the obstacles we face along the way are not to destroy us but to build us. If I had climbed that mountain without falling down, without crying and feeling so much pain I wouldn't have learnt anything and I wouldn't have had a story to tell. We wish the legacy will go on.
On a lighter note on behalf of the history class of 2015 and myself, I would like to say that never stop wanting to learn there's so much out there you still have to learn. Let the hunger for education and for success keep you going. Make the best out of this year, nothing comes on a silver platter you have to sweat for it. Remember you were put on this earth to achieve the greatest self, to live your purpose and do it courageously. We wish you the very best of luck. Do your very best because in the end it's all that matters.
Asanda Mbuqwa and the class of 2015
Dear Historians
On behalf of the class of 2015 we would like to congratulate you on making it this far. You are a step closer to making your dreams a reality.
The subject history ensured that I left Woolhope Secondary School with a deeper understanding and appreciation of our history. I developed a passion not only for the subject but for learning as a whole. I loved and enjoyed the subject, and being part of the class I was a part of ensured that I grew in the environment I learned in and thus left Woolhope with a wealth of knowledge about not only South African history but about the history of different countries. The credit for this result goes to the person who taught us, Mr. September. His passion and love for the subject really rubbed off on most of us.
In the year 2014 a few of us got the opportunity to go on a trip to Cape Town which was the vision of a class of fellow historians. Their brainchild and dream became our reality. That trip to Cape Town changed the lives of most of the historians that took part in it. A memory that will always come to mind and remain with me about that trip was climbing Table Mountain. That climb revealed an inner strength that most of us didn't know we had. It challenged us not only mentally but physically and emotionally. We carry the lessons that we learnt on that trip with us to this very day.
Being a historian requires dedication and endurance, although the work is enjoyable it is also quite a load to carry, however we believe if anyone can be successful in this subject it is you. Remember to work hard but don't forget to enjoy yourselves. Cherish each and every moment you spend with each other, embrace change and remember to make your high school years the best years of your life.
Love your fellow historian

BetterAid unites over 700 development organisations from civil society, and has been working on development cooperation and challenging the aid effectiveness agenda since January 2007. BetterAid is leading many of the civil society activities including in-country consultations, studies and monitoring, in the lead up to the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (HLF-4) in 2011.
World Alliance for Citizen Participation is an international alliance established in 1993 to nurture the foundation, growth and protection of citizen action throughout the world, especially in areas where participatory democracy and citizens' freedom of association are threatened.
The Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) is a growing alliance that brings together trade unions, INGOs, the women's and youth movements, community and faith groups and others to call for action from world leaders in the global North and South to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality.
Adopted in Limassol (Cyprus) on 25 and 26 June 2004, the present Charter constitutes the common basis for the members of the Euromed Non-Governmental Platform initiated in December 2002. It recalls the values on which we build our cooperation, objectives of common actions and working principles.
The Asia Pacific Research Network (APRN) was established in 1998 as a result of networking including a number of conferences in 1997, where the objective to channel and focus the efforts of NGO research towards supporting the need for information, education and advocacy of grassroots organizations was recognized by a number of key Asian research organizations or non-government organizations with established research departments.

The Grifter Right, Legalizing Pedos, It's Not Okay To Be White & Antifa Hate Crimes
Episode 119 begins on former Red Ice guest 108Morris108 who died 2 weeks after YouTube deleted his channel and Greg Johnson of Counter Currents Publishing who was detained and deported from Norway. Then, more on the grifter right including Dave Rubin and Steven Crowder.
Quick headlines include California LGBTQ Democrats who authored a bill to protect sex offenders who lure minors, and transgender 'researchers' claim that 3 is not too young to transition a child. It's OK To Be White flyers cause hysteria and rage once again. In a historic UK port town accusations of racism and White supremacy fly wild over the town's nickname, the "Little White Town," which comes from Charles Kingsley's book Westward Ho! which was written and set in the area.
FBI release heavily redacted Epstein files and antifa militant Gage Halupowski was only sentenced to 6 years in prison for striking a man on the head from behind with a baton. Also, a black nationalist and antifa zealot was arrested and charged with felony hate crime after threatening Jews. In Florida, a black principal was fired for "holocaust denial" and the German city of Dresden declares a "Nazi emergency."
In the US, two mass shooters go under the radar because they are not White. Later, an Australian cultural Marxist attacks Denmark for being Danish.

*Another* Poll Book Discrepancy Identified! This Time in Virginia's Prince William County (VIDEO)
Displeased black man looking at camera while being on public anti-racism demonstrations. Crow of people is in the background.
Over the weekend, The Gateway Pundit published compelling evidence that the electronic poll books can and have been manipulated to inflate the voter counts, whether intentionally or not.
In Dallas County, TX, one precinct caught in real-time. They provided video evidence as well as testimony validating that voters were in fact being added to the poll books shortly before and immediately after polls had closed.
If you are going to inject ballots into an election, as seems to be the case in Columbia, New Hampshire where over 1200 people voted in a town of just 695, you have to have voters injected as well to account for the excess ballots.
In addition to the Poll Pad debacle in Dallas County, we have strong evidence that this occurred in Georgia as well. Because of Georgia law, however, poll watchers are not able to see the poll pads directly and only rely on the numbers called out by poll workers every 2 hours.
Now a third location has confirmed a discrepancy with the poll books. At least two precincts in Virginia's Prince William County had more voters checked in than they had physical ballots.
According to DigitalPollWatchers.org:
Electoral Process Education Corporation (EPEC), a non-profit 501c (3) that performs election data analysis, is urging Virginia's public election officials to verify scanner machine ballot counts before certification of results in key precincts as a result of recent findings.
The recommendation comes after election officers, analysts and observers discovered discrepancies in the data reported to and provided by the Virginia Department of Elections ("ELECT"). The findings raise questions about the proper certification of the machines in question, and whether issues were addressed according to statewide election protocols.
In at least two precincts in Prince William County (PWC) the number of physical ballots cast and accumulated was different than the machine scanner's tally of ballots, as reported by election officers. The numbers must align as part of the precinct's tracking of total ballots cast at the voting location.
Although the number of ballots impacted was small, the repeated findings raise questions about the origin of the errors and whether the machines were operating correctly.
In Virginia's VA-7 Congressional District Race, election officers observed differences in ballot counts of voters who were checked in with pollbooks compared to the actual number of ballots in the machines throughout the day. When the election officers went to close out the polling station, they discovered a ballot scanner with 27 more ballots represented in the electronic total than physical ballots present inside the machine's collection bin. The scanner reported 531 ballots scanned and recorded, but only 504 physical ballots were in the collection bin underneath the scanner.
Election officers documented these issues with the General Registrar and Electoral Board and recorded the information in the official Statement of Results (SOR) and Chief's notes. The officers proceeded to conduct a hand tabulation of the vote totals on the ballots in accordance with election procedures. They repeated this tabulation multiple times, with multiple officers witnessing the process. The results of the hand tabulation, as compared to the scanner totals, is as follows:
The Democrat candidate received 22 of the unexplained votes, a 7.86% difference compared to the physical ballot tally for the candidate. The Republican candidate received another 3 votes, a 1.34% difference over the physical ballot tally for the candidate. There were 2 write-in ballots.
The House of Representatives race between Abigail Spencer (D) and Yesli Vega (R) was separated by less than 12,000 votes out of 270,000 cast. Precincts are being urged to count the total number of ballots by hand and compare them to the poll books to ensure accuracy.
There will be much more to come on this story!

Ace Ventura 3 'is in the works and Jim Carrey could return as the Pet Detective'
Rebecca Lewis
ACE Ventura: Pet Detective may be about to hit screens for the third time as new reports hits that the production company behind the Jim Carrey comedy are looking to reboot the franchise.
It comes as no surprise considering the box office success of other reboots such as Jumanji and Men In Black although star Jim has long admitted his reluctance to return to the role of the Miami-based private detective who specialised in the retrieval of missing animals.

Morgan Creek Productions, the team behind the 1994 classic and the 1995 sequel, are "said to be discussing the possibility of doing a second sequel" while reports also claim that "Carrey himself has reportedly expressed interest in reprising the character for a third time".
We Got This Covered, added however, that "nothing is set in stone just yet".
The production company later linked to the reports on their Twitter page and added the shifty eyes emoji, leaving fans in a spin.
"THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!" shared one fan, while another commented: "Jim Carrey does it or don't do it at all. Be class if it happens like. Love Ace!"

It's not the first time the company has hinted at a reboot however.
In October 2017, Morgan Creek announced plans to reboot several films from its library, including Ace Ventura.
"We wanted to do a mainstream theatrical production relaunch," said MCEG president David Robinson.
He added at the time that the concept being considered was "a baton-handing" which would see a potential son or daughter taking over.

Carrey is known by film fans around the world for his wacky characters and colourful life.
The 57-year-old is a Canadian-American actor, comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, musician, producer and painter, and is known for his energetic slapstick performances in his movies and TV shows.
Ace Ventura was one of his first major Hollywood roles, and it became a huge sleeper hit.
Carrey quickly became one of Hollywood's biggest stars with a string of hits including The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Batman Forever.

He was even paid a whopping $20m for appearing in dark comedy The Cable Guy in 1996.
The actor then ventured into more serious roles in critically acclaimed dramas such as The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Man on the Moon.
More recently, he appeared on the small screen show Kidding.

I stuck to my plan of walking 2.5K for every 10K covered for 20K. I ditched any attempts to keep stock of timing after that and went by feeling. The weather has been cooperative even though it was predictably humid, overcast and breezy. If the contract asks for 'expenses', then this is not necessarily a scam, but find out in detail what those expenses are. For example, some legitimate agents may ask you to pay for the cost of making a bunch of copies of your manuscript. However, most legitimate agents that ask for 'expenses' will not bill you until a sale is made, and then simply add them to their normal commission.

We are learning, we all are interconnected. The impact of one wrong will eventually affect all of us. The choice is ours. Now everyone has Facebook, from your grandmother to your aunts and uncles to your parents. I can understand kids in high school and college having it, using it to keep in touch with their friends so that they can ask for help on homework if they need it or if they miss something there friends can post it on Facebook for everyone that missed the lesson. It was meant for students, to keep up with the assignments that they missed in class and their friends.

Spurs endured an afternoon to forget at Selhurst Park after a limp performance saw them lose 2-0 to Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the FA Cup. It caps off a miserable last few days for Spurs, as they have been knocked out of both domestic cup competitions in the last week.
Mauricio Pochettino rotated his side for the FA Cup clash just as he did in the last round against Tranmere. There were appearances for Juan Foyth, Kyle Walker-Peters and Oliver Skipp as well as a rare start for Georges Kevin Nkoudou, his first of the season. Spurs also reverted to a three man defence, which they deployed in the Premier League against Fulham, moving away from the midfield diamond that they lined up with against Chelsea last time out.
It was a terrible start for Spurs as within ten minutes they were one nil down. Former Leicester man Jeff Schlupp picked up a stray ball from right back Joel Ward and galloped into the Spurs area past Davinson Sanchez. His right footed shot was saved by Paulo Gazzaniga but only into the path of Connor Wickham who could not miss. It was Wickham's first goal (and first start) since November 2016 and the joy he had in scoring was evident in his celebrations.
Spurs soon went close as they aimed to get back in the tie. Fernando Llorente took advantage of poor Palace defending, as they thought the Spurs striker had fouled Patrick van Aanholt, to tee up Lucas Moura. The Spurs man then had a shot from just outside the area, which had veteran goalkeeper Julian Speroni scrambling, but it went narrowly over the bar much to the relief of the Palace fans behind the goal.
The Eagles were then gifted the chance to get an equaliser after Spurs conceded a penalty. A cross was sent in towards Wickham, who had peeled off to the back post, but it looked like Kyle Walker-Peters would be able to intercept it. The Spurs academy graduate however inexplicably stuck his arm out at the ball, leaving referee Kevin Friend with little choice but to give a spot kick.
Former Spurs man Andros Townsend stepped up and stroked his penalty straight down the middle to give Crystal Palace a two goal advantage with ten minutes of the first half still to play. Townsend did not celebrate doubling Palace's lead, confirming on Twitter after the game that it was down to respect for the club that he had been at since he was eight.
Townsend should have made it three for Crystal Palace before halftime after a flowing team move. Wilfried Zaha managed to wriggle free from Juan Foyth and release van Aanholt on the left hand side. The Dutch international was in a position to shoot but instead pulled back to the onrushing Townsend who looked certain to score. However his effort was too close to Gazzaniga, who parried away before the danger was cleared by Eric Dier.
Spurs then had a golden chance of their own through Georges Kevin Nkoudou. The key chance came about from a free kick right on the edge of the Palace area. Kieran Trippier stepped up and looked like he was going to shoot however Nkoudou peeled away from the Palace wall which contained seven players. That left Nkoudou completely unmarked, so Trippier squared the ball to him, giving the Frenchman a free shot at Speroni from six yards. However, like Townsend before him, Nkoudou's shot was straight at the goalkeeper and he failed to convert the rebound after a brilliant double save from Speroni.
Yet an eventful first half was not over, as Spurs were awarded a penalty after Juan Foyth was fouled by van Aanholt in the area. With regular penalty taker Harry Kane out, it was Kieran Trippier who stepped up for Spurs however his effort went wide to compound the misery for Spurs. It was crucial miss as a goal before halftime could have changed the whole complexion for Spurs but they never really looked like getting back in the game after that moment.
Into the second half, Spurs did have a chance through a deflected Fernando Llorente shot, which again Speroni did well to save. Llorente then should have done more than force Speroni into a routine save soon after, after Eric Dier had linked up well with Trippier to set the Spurs striker up.
There was a late chance for Wilfried Zaha, which was saved by Gazzaniga, but other than that it was an uneventful second period as Palace coasted to victory. Roy Hodgson would have been delighted with the performance of his side, particularly the defence, however Pochettino must have been ruing the performance of some players who had the chance to make a claim for more first team involvement.
Spurs may have lost against Chelsea on Thursday but they played with an intensity that simply was not there at Selhurst Park. All eyes now turn to their Premier League match with Watford on Wednesday, which the club are hoping will see the return of Heung-min Son to the Spurs squad.
On a forgetful afternoon for Spurs, Juan Foyth was probably the stand out player. The Argentine earned Spurs the penalty in the first half but was also impressive defensively, dealing with Wilfried Zaha well on several occasions.


A blog of fantasy, scifi, and horror.
The edges of the high desert are riddled with colonies of giant ants and their erstwhile symbiotes, the antherder clans. Pheromones mark them as friends, and keep the soldiers from antherder living quarters. Antherders can be recognized by their carapace gas-masks, which which keep the stinging sand from their eyes, and built up pheromones from their lungs.
The relationship between the colony and the antherders benefits both. The antherders are immune to the diseases and fungi that occasionally plague colonies; in the very old colonies, with very old relationships with antherders, the workers will bring them corpses, malformed larvae, and rejected food. The antherders gain food, protection, and items for trade. All of the clans practice their own styles of chitin-work, bending it into everything from armor to woks.
Sometimes a small child will saturated with the right mix of pheromones, and the ants will recognize it as a larvae. They will be taken and raised by the colony. They do their best to mimic the giant creatures, learning their values from observation. Sometimes they learn human languages by stalking and eavesdropping on antherders. When they are old enough, and lose their fear, they may reintroduce themselves to the human community. Their thoughts are now too different to ever be an antherder, but they are encourage to try to explain themselves, and their words are recorded.

The lands west of the Urals and east of the Vistula are now some of the least habitable on Earth, approximately 60% yellow zones and 20% red. Western Russia is an autonomous zone, a patchwork of communes, city-states, and simple chaos. Moscow itself is a red zone, where human life only continues underground. East of the Urals, however, the USSR persists.
Vladivostok is the new capital of the new USSR. Government officials, along with vital civilians, live in a large bunker complex beneath the city. The only remnants of communism are aesthetic: emblems on uniforms and statues. The USSR is spartan, a military state, devoted to and dominated by a military hierarchy.
The cyclical plagues, allergen storms, and toxic rains that render so much of the Earth uninhabitable have largely spared Siberia and central Asia. Mutant animals, however, are more common, especially the giants: gigantic, unique monsters which range across the land. Although the USSR retains a greater ability to wage conventional war than most nations, much of its military is therefore focused on monster hunting and defense.
The USSR has a major technological advantage in the form of live, friendly elder things, retrieved from Antarctica and revived. Deep below the rest of the Vladivostok bunkers, the progenitors tutor their accidental children in the arts of hypnosis, applied neurology, and artificial intelligence. All USSR soldiers are hypnotically fortified, and more and more of their vehicles are assisted or automated by brain-chips, making for a psychologically sturdy military.
"Melds" is a broad term, referring to a type of extreme aberration among ungulates. Every so often, a horse, deer, donkey, or similar, will have a baby so deformed the only thing it seems to have in common with its parents are its use of the same anatomical parts. The mothers have never survived the birth, even when under veterinary care. The melds themselves always seem unhealthy, often suffering from infections, old wounds that never quite heal, cysts, and boils. At the same time, they can be very difficult to kill.
This phenomena is not known to occur among any group other than ungulates, and does not happen to all ungulates. Each species gives birth to its own type of meld, so although the melds themselves seem sterile, they continue to survive as groups. The cause and mechanism of these changes are unknown.
Horse-melds are most easily identified by their large, frog-like legs. More typical horse legs sprout from their body at odd angles, only partially functional but able to help move food into their mouths, located in the center of their abdomens. Their mouths are flanked by extra jawbones, complete with teeth, apparently useless.
Donkey-melds are characterized first and foremost by bone. Their heads are bare skulls with cracked jaws spreading horizontally like mandibles; the only flesh visible is the eyes, tongue, and esophagus. They have a bone exoskeleton, almost insect-like, but with invariable fractures, infections, and growths. Each leg is split in two, so that it walks on eight bone spikes.
Deer-melds have a body plan similar to that of typical deer, but the devil is in the details. They are constantly trembling, although they are swift runners and rarely seen to fall. Their antlers curve down and forward, ending below and ahead of their mouths. Their hunting strategy is to impale small animals on their antlers, then allow them to rot, eating them once sufficiently softened. Flies can invariably be found following them, and they are always riddled with parasites.
To the goblinoids, plants are for medicine and spices. Eating plants as food would be like trying to get drunk on water. Food is raw liver, brain soups, and lots and lots of roasts. Food is meat.
Goblinoids all enjoy hunting, and maintain some forested areas as game preserves, but the majority of food comes from great herds of auroch and boar. A large minority of goblinoids make their living off of cattle, rounding them up for slaughter, killing monsters that threaten them, clearing land for them, or stealing them.
The shift from humanoid plant-based diets to goblinoid meat-based ones has caused a shift in the entire landscape. The great herds of cattle eat their way across the landscape, leaving only the thorny and poisonous plants untouched. Deforestation is occurring rapidly and deliberately, as trees are cleared and burned to expand grazing lands. Floods and brushfires are becoming more common. A rough, goblinoid equilibrium is asserting itself.
The security council became the stability council, and now the sustained emergency council. Most of the rest of the UN has fallen away, but UNSEC remains. It servers as a meeting place for national governments and an avenue for mutual aid. The UNSEC can act directly when requested by a member state, in which case it does so through the OS, the Office of Stability. The UNSEC-OS, to give the full acronym, employers military, political, economic and scientific advisors, a rapid reaction force, an investigation arm, and, unofficially, an espionage arm.
UNSEC classifies the world according to politics and habitability. Politically, Earth can be divided into member states, non-member states, and "uncontrolled zones". Prominent member states include the US, USSR, European Union, New Columbia, Angola, Egypt and China. Prominent non-member states include Taiwan, Argentina, South Africa, and Nepal. Prominent uncontrolled zones include western North America between the Mississippi and the Rockies, eastern Europe between Warsaw and the Urals, the Amazon basin, the Indian subcontinent, the Congo, the Sahara desert, and Australia. Uncontrolled zones have no overarching organization, and can be composed of every type of small human society ever conceived, from cartels to cults.
The world is also divided into zones of habitability. "White" zones are controlled environments, such as domed cities, arcologies, and bunkers. "Green" zones are suitable for permanent habitation and agriculture. "Yellow" zones are suitable for long-term habitation, albeit with reduced life-spans and elevated risks of violent death. "Red" zones are suitable only for short-term habitation, and can be dangerous even to travel through. "Black" zones are fortunately rare, zones from which few have returned and which remain mysterious except for surveillance from a distance.
The default path for PCs is to be members of the OS, which gives them an excuse to get involved in just about anything.


The life of a mom and tiredness are mostly inseparable. Yesterday, a mom sent me a DM asking how I am not tired while she feels dull in just an hour. The mom in question is really young and has an almost 2 year old baby.
I responded by saying that even I am tired all the time but her question was how she can come out of it. Such a thing is somewhat difficult to answer as every mom lives in different circumstances. For me, in the first year of motherhood, I hired a cook while a cleaning lady was always there. I don't have to give breakfast and lunch to the husband as he gets it all in the office. When the baby is small there is no real mess to take care of so I managed despite several meltdowns that happened purely because I was learning to be a mom. And yes, I left my work-from-home job to avoid exhaustion.
Recently, I have let my cook go as Idhaya plays independently for some time and I can cook for two people then. I just cook the basics nothing fancy. Don't get fooled though as many of these simple meals are cooked while Idhaya is clinging to my leg. Still, with not much to do, I manage to take a little rest here and there. I sleep by 10:30 mostly and wake up by 6 to go for a walk. It helps that Idhaya sleeps through the night and is completely weaned off breastfeeding.
Eating Well- Eat fresh and healthy food. Don't compromise on this however busy or tired you are. I am not suggesting anything fancy, just normal home-cooked food that you eat. Ask your doctor and include some supplements as well. Some people say that supplements are not essential. They aren't but they help a lot especially if you are a mother.
Off-loading- Or sharing your work whether it's with hired help, your husband or any other member of the family. Ask for help from family and if they deny, do only as much as you can. Don't try to make everyone happy.
Letting it be- Mess can wait, peace of mind can't. Don't try to keep your house spick and span all the time. It will come crashing down anyway when you have a baby. Give your time to only the things that need immediate attention.
Cutting off- When Idhaya sleeps, I go in hibernation mode too. I completely forget that there's so much to do. In her nap-time, I only do the things that make me happy. There are exceptions sometimes but only when something is really important. If possible, leave the baby at home and go out alone even it's for just an hour.
Staying Happy- This coming from a person who always finds a reason to sulk is kind of groundbreaking. Trust me, it helps. It's not easy to be happy when there is so much around to drive you crazy but now I am learning to smile at Idhaya's antics whether she breaks something or spills water or poops in her nappy during her diaper free time. I feel that you have to deal with it anyway so why not do it calmly. My husband has noticed this change and keeps complimenting me. Keep distance from negative and judgmental people. They don't deserve your attention so don't let them get to you. Simply brush off the things that you don't like.
And you know what will work best? Chuck all the advice, dance without music while folding the laundry or sing at the top of your voice. Sounds weird but it's fun and makes you feel lighter.
Tiredness is not just physical but also mental so channel your energies only on the important things. Life feels lighter and happier this way.
