Alma - a monster of the 20th century
Paulus Manker Alma struggled till the end, and very heroic, too. But she failed, she had to fail probably out of the reasons you have mentioned. Was that the reason that transformed her into a monster? Because once you said, I remember: "To understand the history of our century, the best is to go through the monsters". Maybe she does belong to the monsters? Because what she later did, mainly in the last years, she tried to lie, and to perfume, and make up her life for the posterity. It does not give a very pleasant image of that woman.
Joshua Sobol I don´t think Alma was a pleasant person. She was one of the monsters of our time. But to understand the history of our century, the best is to go through the monsters. She was a monster in the sense that everything with her is bigger, bigger than life. And she made herself bigger than life. And when she writes about herself in her autobiography you feel that she is possessed by that need to prove that every moment of her life was not ordinary, it was extra-ordinary. Nothing was mediocre, everything was superb. She has that style of exaggerating about everything, which is again not the style of our time. I think that if you take the revolution of the Beatles and the Rock-revolution, which changed the attitude towards poetry, towards language, and we are now looking for simplicity in language and in images, and using everyday language and everyday images in order to describe our feelings, she still belongs to that older generation, where you could not speak about feelings without using enormous words, using superlatives. Everything must be extraordinary, grandious, exciting, schizophrenic, I don´t know what. In that sense she was one of those monsters of the begining of the century.

Although many skinny people swear by mass gainer, it's no secret that most mass gainers taste awful.
Here's why mass gainer tastes bad:
Mass gainer tastes bad due to the BCAAs and creatine. These are both bitter tasting which gives mass gainer a bad taste. Also, the artificial flavors can leave an unnatural taste in your mouth.
In this article, we cover which ingredients cause mass gainer to taste bad, whether all mass gainers taste bad, how to make mass gainer taste better, and more!
Which Ingredients In Mass Gainer Taste Bad?
Creatine is a natural compound that's found in fish and red meat.
It's included in many mass gainers as it helps you gain muscle mass, and it increases your water weight too.
Now, if you've ever tasted pure creatine mixed with water, I'm sure you'll appreciate just how bitter it is.
So if your mass gainer has an unpleasant bitter taste, you can partly blame the creatine!
Artificial Flavors
Many mass gainers are sold in odd flavors like white chocolate raspberry.
To make these unique flavors, the mass gainer manufacturers add a variety of artificial flavors.
But in my eyes, these artificial flavors have such an unnatural chemical taste that they make you want to spit it out!
BCAAs are the 3 essential amino acids valine, leucine and isoleucine.
Some mass gainers include BCAAs as they help with protein synthesis.
But like creatine, BCAAs have a nasty bitter taste.
What Does Mass Gainer Taste Like?
The taste of mass gainer mainly boils down to what flavor it is.
But to create these flavors, a ton of artificial flavors are added which gives mass gainers a chemical taste.
Also, mass gainers have a ton of artificial sweeteners to combat the bitterness of the BCAAs and creatine, so many taste bittersweet.
The mixer you use plays a big part as well.
Using milk to mix the powder will give it more of a creamy taste, whereas water will give it more of a bitter taste.
Should Mass Gainer Taste Bad?
If your mass gainer has creatine and BCAAs, then it should definitely have some bitterness to it.
(I'd be quite sceptical of the quality of any mass gainer that has creatine and BCAAs, but isn't bitter.)
Do All Mass Gainers Taste Bad?
It's unlikely that all mass gainers taste bad.
One reason is that some mass gainers are free from BCAAs, creatine and artificial flavors.
Since these are the ingredients that give mass gainers their infamous taste, then without them, it should taste fine.
Another thing to consider is that we're all biologically unique, and so we all process tastes differently.
For example, Mass Gainer A may taste nice to me, but horrible to you.
Whereas Mass Gainer B may taste nice to you, but horrible to me.
Which Are Worst Tasting Flavors Of Mass Gainer?
In my eyes, the more vibrant the flavor, the worse it's going to taste.
Well, as covered earlier, the manufactures add a ton of artificial flavors to create these vibrant flavors.
So as a result, they're more likely to have an unnatural, chemical taste to them.
Whereas mass gainers with a simple flavor like chocolate will have less chemicals added to it, so it should have a more natural pleasant taste.
How To Make Mass Gainer Taste Better
Mix It With Milk
A quick fix that pretty much everyone can do is to mix your mass gainer with milk instead of water.
This will give it a creamier taste and will help mask some of the bitterness.
(For those who are vegan/lactose intolerant, you can mix it with your favorite non-dairy milk, whether that's soy or almond!)
Mix It In A Blender
What's worse than a mass gainer shake that tastes like crap?
Answer: A lumpy mass gainer shake that tastes like crap.
While you can get away with mixing your mass gainer shake in a protein shaker, ideally you want to mix it up in a blender.
This will make it much easier to drink, and get rid of any potent lumps that have a strong taste.
Add Some Fresh Fruit
Let's say you've bought some strawberry flavored mass gainer.
And it doesn't taste great.
Well, one thing you can do is add some strawberries to it and mix it up in a blender.
Not only will this make it taste more like strawberries, but the added sweetness will help mask the bitter taste of the BCAAs and creatine.
A win-win in my eyes!
What To Do If Your Mass Gainer Tastes Bad
Hold Your Nose While Drinking It
Here's a fun fact for you:
Your sense of smell is responsible for 80% of what you taste.
So why not use that fact to your advantage?
By simply holding your nose while drinking your mass gainer, you can mask most of the taste!
Make Your Own Mass Gainer
At a basic level, mass gainers are just a high-protein, high-calorie powder that you make into a shake.
Well the good news is you can make a high-protein, high-calorie shake with just food.
For example, blending the below ingredients together will make an awesome homemade mass gainer:
- Milk
- Fruit and berries
- Oats
- Flaxseed oil
- Whey protein
- Nuts
- Honey
- Yoghurt
- Cream
Buy A Different One
If you've tried every other solution and still aren't satisfied, then I guess your last option is to just buy a new mass gainer.
In summary:
- Weight gainer supplements have a bad taste as they often contain creatine and BCAAs which are bitter.
- Some mass gainer supplements have a sickly-sweet taste due to their high artificial sweetener content.
That's all for this article, but should you take mass gainer before or after workout? Or you may be wondering why are mass gainers so expensive?
I've been in the fitness and strength training industry for nearly a decade. In that time, I've gained 30 pounds of muscle, written hundreds of articles, and reviewed dozens of fitness supplements. As for my educational background, I'm a currently studying for my Active IQ Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training.

For the last 16 years, the U.S. and a host of other reactionary forces have bombed, shot, and tortured their way across Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other countries in the greater Middle East. Literally millions of lives have been damaged or destroyed. It's hard to imagine how the situation could get even worse--possibly much worse--for the people.
But that's precisely what's looming right now: escalating U.S.-Israeli threats against Iran, and the real possibility of yet another war.
This was dramatically brought home on February 9 over the skies of Syria, a country bordering Israel and one of the region's key flashpoints.
Early that morning, Israel shot down an Iranian drone it claimed violated its airspace (a claim Iran denies). Israeli fighter planes then attacked and destroyed an Iranian base in Syria the drone was allegedly launched from, killing a number of Iranian personnel. During the attack, an Israeli F-16 (made in the U.S.A.) was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft fire--over Syrian airspace! Israel retaliated by attacking Syrian and Iranian air defense facilities.
The New York Times claimed that Israel's military went on a "war footing" in response to Syria and Iran's threats to retaliate, with Russia warning Israel not to escalate. All this took place in a matter of hours--but what is extremely dangerous is what the Times article concluded: "War was averted--but only for now. All of the ingredients for an extremely violent eruption in the Middle East remain in place." (Emphasis added.)
After this clash, at a February 18 international conference, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu waved a piece of metal he claimed was from the drone Israel shot down. Then, like a Mafia enforcer, he threatened Iran's foreign minister: "Mr. Zarif, do you recognize this? You should. It's yours. You can take back with you a message to the tyrants of Tehran: Do not test Israel's resolve." Netanyahu warned that Israel would attack "Iran itself"--along with groups supportive of and supported by Iran in Lebanon and Syria. An Iranian official shot back, "Tel Aviv would be razed to the ground if the Israeli regime took any military action against the Islamic Republic."
The Context: The Trump/Pence Regime's Bellicose Global Strategy and Escalating Threats Against IranThese threats by Israel, America's settler-colonialist attack dog in the region, and counter-threats by Iran are taking place as the Trump/Pence fascist regime is threatening the world. This regime says it's time for "America First"--time to blast away any obstacle to American global dominance and win at all costs. It has signaled its greater willingness to use nuclear weapons. And it has targeted Iran as a "rogue state" and global "scourge."
In 2015, Obama, together with Russia, China, and Europe's main powers, signed a nuclear agreement with Iran. Iran agreed to roll back its nuclear enrichment program in return for an easing of sanctions by the U.S. and others. Now Trump is threatening to tear up the agreement and impose new sanctions, sharply ratcheting up tensions. The Trump/Pence regime has stepped up U.S. support for Saudi Arabia and Israel. These are regional powers--and bulwarks of U.S. imperialist dominance--clashing sharply with Iran across the region and demanding more drastic action against it.*
The U.S. is also escalating its own direct military moves against Iran. In January, the U.S. unilaterally declared its forces--2,000 troops on the ground, with massive airpower just over the horizon--would remain (illegally and uninvited) in Syria. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson stated the main purpose of deploying U.S. forces was "expelling malicious Iranian influence" from Syria and preventing it from achieving its goal of "dominance in the Middle East." This creates another potential flashpoint for a direct U.S.-Iran military clash.
The Specter of Regional--Possibly Nuclear"--WarThe February 9 clash between Israel and Iran is "a dangerous escalation that raises the specter of direct conflict between Israel and Iran in Syria," according to Middle East commentators, and a "far more serious situation" than before.
This is a far more serious situation than before. U.S. domination of the Middle East is being challenged, when the dangerously aggressive Trump/Pence fascist regime is in power.
For over seven decades, the Middle East has been a crucial oil and energy spigot for global capitalism-imperialism. It's a key military and economic crossroads. And it's been a central pillar of U.S. global domination. Yet in recent years this region has become increasingly unstable, and U.S. control has faced growing challenges. Islamic fundamentalism and jihadism have been fueled by U.S. wars. Other great powers are increasingly contending with the U.S.--Russia politically and militarily, and China economically. And Iran's influence has spread.
Yet this region remains crucial to American global dominance, and the U.S. rulers are determined to preserve that by any and every means at their disposal.
In some important ways, these contradictions are now focused up in Syria. The six-year Syrian civil war has pitted the murderous regime of Bashar al-Assad and his backers Russia, Iran, and Lebanon's Hezbollah against various anti-Assad "rebels," as well as reactionary Islamic jihadists backed by the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. It's been a reactionary bloodbath on all sides, leaving 400,000 dead and 11 million refugees. Assad and his allies have, for now, emerged on top, while mercilessly bombing civilian areas under rebel control. If he holds onto power, it would strengthen the hand of Russia and Iran, and be a challenge to U.S. dominance.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is a reactionary, repressive theocracy, whose ruling ideology is based on the Shi'a branch of Islam. It is also a regional power--jockeying to protect its interests and expand its influence within the current setup. This includes militarily supporting Assad by dispatching its Revolutionary Guards, as well as supporting allied Shi'ite forces including Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon and Shi'ite militia in Iraq. In doing so it's sharply clashing with the U.S., the region's dominant power, and its nuclear-armed ally Israel. Tillerson condemned Iran for "dramatically" strengthening its military presence in Syria. Netanyahu warned that "Israel will continue to prevent Iran from establishing a permanent military presence in Syria."

Let's have some fun and play with the all new Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection!
(Contains affiliate links.)
Considering we can't exactly travel this summer, we're all going to have to get creative for creating those *vacay vibes* at home. For me, that means cranking up the Florence + the Machine, pouring myself a chilled tonic with lime and embracing the sunshine as best I can.
Yes, 2020 may very well be the year of the 'staycation' for the bulk of us — but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun mixing up your beauty routine. In fact, in a lot of ways, I feel even more motivated to embrace the new makeup releases this summer! After MONTHS in lockdown, there's something really exciting about products inspired by the beach and other tropical destinations…even though we can't go anywhere. *womp womp*
Kiko Unexpected Paradise Summer Collection
As soon as I laid eyes on the Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection online, I knew I had to get a few things. Truth is, Kiko is a brand that's been on my radar for quite some time but I somehow have never tried up to this point. For summer 2020, they've released a full collection of makeup with everything from highlighters and bronzers down to nail polish and even a mascara.
Naturally, what most caught my eye was the bronzer. Being someone who chooses to stay out of the sun as much as possible, I'm always in need of a good bronzer to give me that much sought after 'summer glow' without actually having to tan my skin.
What I Purchased
First off, let me share everything that I picked up from the Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection with you!
- Silky Touch Baked Bronzer in 03 Neutral
- Magnificent Eyeshadows in 03 Freedom, 04 Choose to Shine and 05 Lilac Moon
- Water Resistant Long-Lasting Lip Pencil in 05 Sphere of Fire
- Long-Lasting Lip Stylo in 03 Stop a Moment
- Transforming Lip Top Coat
While I didn't purchase EVERYTHING from Kiko's summer collection, I did pick up a nice assortment of products that we can play with here today! Down below, I'll walk you through everything that did make its way into my collection. Are the products as wonderful as they appear? Let's find out!
The Silky Bronzer
Immediately, we're going to have to talk about the bronzer. The Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection actually has 3 bronzers in total. There are two gorgeous two-toned marble bronzers as well as this striking beauty! They really all looked beautiful online, but the embossed palm really drew me into the neutral bronze shade.
The Rundown:
- A LARGE bronzer that's nearly the size of my face. This will last you a while!
- Silky, matte finish that blends smoothly
- Packing includes a full-sized mirror
- Scented with coconut, a feature that normally I wouldn't like but as I won't be at a beach this summer really appreciate it for those extra vacay vibes I long for.
- Works beautifully on its own or atop a cream contour
- Doubles as a great blending eyeshadow shade
- Reasonably priced at $22
The Magnificent Eyeshadows
Confession: I actually placed two orders from the Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection. If you watched my initial unboxing on Instagram, you'd know that I picked up one of the magnificent eyeshadows. Well, I enjoyed the shade Freedom so much I went back and purchased two more shades! (That's love I tell ya.)
- Metallic finish
- 6 shades in total, including golds, purple tones and a rich green
- Soft and smooth texture, with remarkably no fallout
- Long-lasting, even on hot and humid days
- Works well as a highlighter as well
- Reasonably priced at $9 each
- Each shade includes reflective pearls that create a beautiful, shining effect on the lid
Eyeshadow Swatches:
The Magnificent Shadows:
- Freedom: A gorgeous molten gold
- Lilac Moon: A soft, lilac purple
- Choose to Shine: A beautiful rose gold
All-in-all, I'm really impressed by these. Usually I gravitate towards eyeshadow palettes over singles, but these magnificent shadows are so simple and fantastic for the summer months. I've played with wearing them together, but my favorite way of wearing them is actually to use one shade all over the lid with some of the bronzer in my crease.
The pearls of each shade really do add a fair amount of dimension to your look. These also last all day in the heat and humidity — and even through a Sunday afternoon nap. *wink*
Let's Talk Lip Products
When it comes to lips, the Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection certainly has A LOT to offer! There's the long-lasting lip stylo lipsticks in 8 shades, a water-resistant lip liner in 8 matching shades and a gorgeous glittery gold lip topper that can be worn with any lip product or on its own.
Lip Stylo Lipsticks
- Smooth and creamy matte finish
- Comfortable on the lips
- Vibrant and full-coverage color pay-off
- Great wear time
- 8 shades available, ranging from poppy pinks to reds and deep plums
- Nicely priced at $14 each
Water-Resistant Lip Pencil
- I picked up the shade Sphere of Fire and WOW is it vibrant
- 8 shades in total, matching the lip stylos.
- A wind-up product, no need for sharpening
- A touch drying. You'll need the lip topper or a lipstick on top for added comfort.
- Seriously LONG lasting
- Full coverage with matte finish
- Smooth application
Lip Topper
- Instantly transforms a matte finish into a glossy one
- Threaded with micro glitter, for dimension on the lips
- Smooth and soft application
- Scented with coconut
- Works well atop lip liners, a lipstick or on its own
Overall Thoughts:
Overall, the Kiko Unexpected Paradise summer collection is a winner in my eyes! As a first time Kiko shopper, I'm very impressed with the quality of the products as well as how reasonably priced they are. Everything ranges from $9 to $22, which is definitely great compared to the many pricier options out there.
The brand is also certified cruelty-free and while Kiko Cosmetics originated in Italy, they do have shipping from within the US. During COVID-19 that's especially good news for my fellow Americans. My orders both came from the Greater NYC area and arrived in two days…which was very impressive.
- Affordably priced
- Certified cruelty-free
- Large variety of color options to suit different skintones and preferences
- Long-lasting products
- Smooth application that blends nicely
- Beautiful packaging
- Shipped from within the US
- I could only find the collection directly from Kiko, which is a bummer if you prefer shopping at Ulta, Sephora, etc.
- Lip pencil tip does break off easily, so be careful when applying

Kif Leswing reports for Business Insider on a meeting Apple held with select app developers last year where the subscription model was pushed:
An Apple representative said at the meeting that paid apps represent 15% of total app sales and is on the decline, according to a person who was there who did not want to be identified to maintain their relationship with Apple.
The message was clear: successful apps now focus on getting regular engagement from their users, not one-time sales. For developers, that meant embracing the subscription model.If you focus on paid apps, instead of subscriptions, Apple warned, your business will eventually hit a cap.
This report comes hot on the heels of Apple's recent quarterly earnings report, during which Tim Cook shared, "Paid subscriptions from Apple and third parties have now surpassed 300 million, an increase of more than 60 percent in the past year alone."
That increase is fairly staggering to consider. Two years ago when Apple opened up subscriptions to all app types, many users and developers feared the potential for subscription fatigue. It looks like that hasn't prevented significant growth from happening – at least for now. I'll be curious to see if growth like this, and a further shift toward subscriptions over paid apps, is sustainable in the long-term.

The federal budget is economy and industry-friendly in which more relaxation of taxes has been given to the local manufacturing sector. Relaxation has been forwarded to the masses while not imposing the new taxes whereas the corona effected industry has been benefitted and more amount has been reserved for education and health. It will be a challenge for the government to fulfill the requirements of the IMF.
No relaxation has been given to the traders in this tax-free budget. These are views, presented in the Express Forum by the economic experts and the representatives of the business community about the federal budget 2020-21.
Sadaqat Ali Abbasi, the PTI senior leader said that the pandemic has affected the whole world, including Pakistan and at these crucial times, every possible effort has been done the benefit the masses. Corona effected industry has especially been considered.
The budget for education and health has been increased. Unnecessary expenses have been curtailed. The inflation rate was 14 %, while the planning to bring it to 6.6 % has been made. Chairman FBR, Nosheen Javed said that the amount of 45 billion Rupees has been reserved to enhance the business activities.
Muhammad Ahmad Waheed, the Chairman of Islamabad Commerce and Industry said that this is a balanced and industry-friendly budget in this difficult condition. Ajmal Baloch, the President of All Pakistan Traders Association said that although no extra taxes have been levied yet no benefit has been given to the corona affected business community.
Kashif Chaudhry, President Markazi Tanzim e Tajran called it an unrealistic budget that has no benefits for the business community.

A relaxed feeling
For many people the first acupuncture treatment is a subtle experience that usually results in a relaxed feeling. A typical response is "It may be just in my mind, but I feel calm".
The licensed acupuncturist takes the client's information. The symptoms reveal the ways the disordered internal terrain is disrupting their life. Then the practitioner examines the various signals the body silently reveals. By the time the needles are inserted, the practitioner has constructed a mental plan – a way to orchestrate the needles, moxa (heat), and other techniques of gentle stimulation, to restore harmony.
When the needles are placed with a delicate touch, precise changes can occur as the body is directed to self-correct.
What changes are we talking about?
It can be one of many types of corrections in both body and mind. The results may be reduced pain, corrected inflammation, or other desirable improvements.
You may wonder, if the treatment is causing so many changes, why would a client experience relaxation?
I think the relaxed effect is a return to harmony within the structures and hormonal systems. The needles seem to gently direct the energy, or electrical responses, to improve communications among the various components, returning to a whole and unified individual.

When Suzanne Anderson heard the words "you have breast cancer," she was just 35-years-old, had recently adopted a baby girl and believed she didn't have to worry about breast cancer at her age. But the lump she discovered was malignant and her world suddenly swiveled and tilted on its axis.
"This is a time of your life when you still think you are invincible to those kinds of diseases, so when I heard the diagnosis, I was thrown for a loop," recalled Anderson, now 55. "The only silver lining at the time was, as a workaholic, I decided to take a year off, do the chemotherapy and radiation, and spend a lot of time with my daughter. It really created a very special bond."
Anderson is President of Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle and is now a two-time breast cancer survivor who is currently cancer free. Her second occurrence, in 2009, was unrelated to the first, but as someone who was adopted herself, she and her doctors believe she has a genetic predisposition. Doctors say it is uncommon for someone to have two separate premenopausal breast cancers.
Without knowing her biological family history, Anderson said her testing for the BRCA genetic mutation was ambiguous. The second time she was diagnosed, it was discovered in a mammogram, and her treating physicians could not guarantee it would not return, so she opted for a double mastectomy.
"This is how important mammograms can be," said Anderson. "The cancer shown in my mammogram wasn't life-threatening, but having it can increase the risk of developing an invasive breast cancer later on. Early screening saved my life."
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Virginia Mason, the American Cancer Society and many other breast cancer organizations use the month to provide education, screening awareness and a call to action to fund cures for breast cancers. The NFL and the Seattle Seahawks also sponsor A Crucial Catch game, with players wearing pink, to emphasize how crucial it is to catch breast cancer early.
Not all organizations are in agreement as to when to begin screening. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, for example, recommends that regular screenings begin at age 40—as does Virginia Mason. The American Cancer Society calls for women to start yearly screening at age 45 and then move to screening every two years starting at age 55.
In Anderson's case, the cancer showed up early, before organizations suggest screening.
"This becomes an individual choice—if you are concerned about breast cancer and screening, talk with your doctor to make an informed decision," said Anderson. "Together you can decide what's best for you based on personal preferences, medical history and your individual breast cancer risk."
Today, Anderson says she still works hard, but balances it with her husband and their desire to play hard too. You don't know, says Anderson, what the future holds, so why put off having adventures, traveling and enjoying life until you retire.
"I'm a pretty pragmatic, glass-half-full person, who is now taking the time to enjoy my life too," said Anderson, adding that her next adventure is learning how to play golf.
For the month of October, the Seahawks will light the stadium arches pink on Wednesdays and Thursdays to raise awareness for breast cancer screenings. Anderson was the first to ceremoniously switch on the lights for the Seahawks.
In support of the NFL's 'A Crucial Catch' campaign to expand education and raise awareness for breast cancer screenings, the Seahawks will turn CenturyLink FIeld's arch lights pink every Wednesday and Thursday night throughout the month of October.

This terrific bundle of movie and Broadway brass quintets will excite any audience! All three titles come with a score and parts for 2 trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba.
La La Land - Our own Brandon Ridenour arranged this outstanding chart which contains two themes from the Oscar winning movie La La Land. Mia and Sebastian's Theme and City of Stars are included in this arrangement.
Make Our Garden Grow - This beautiful song is from Leonard Berstein's Broadway hit, Candide. Skillfully arranged by the late Christopher Dedrick, it will take your breath away!
Adagio for Brass - Originally titled Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, this haunting piece has been used in countless films but probably is remembered best from the movie Platoon which was about the war in Vietnam.

Within this research line, I study the relationship between the occurrence of different wildlife species and the presence and density of parasites and pathogens. So far, my main focus has been on ticks and tick-borne diseases, studying the relationship between the availability of different host species and the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens. I collaborate with public health officials, to bring this new ecological knowledge to policy makers, with the aim of making prevention methods more effective.
The number of ticks and the number of people diagnosed with tick-borne diseases are on the rise in many parts of the world. However, we still know relatively little about the ecology of the tick species that transmits most diseases in Europe (the sheep tick – Ixodes ricinus) and the different tick-borne pathogens that the sheep tick transmits.
Ticking off the ungulate box
From 2018-2022, I was involved in the PhD project of Nannet Fabri as co-supervisor. Nannet studied the role of ungulates in the maintenance and transmission of the sheep tick and several tick-borne pathogens. She combined a systematic review with fieldwork and mathematical modelling to try to disentangle the differential roles of moose, red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and wild boar. Similar to what I found during my own PhD, Nannet found that deer are important hosts for ticks and several tick-borne pathogens. However, she also showed that fallow deer are more important as hosts of ticks and amplifiers of Anaplasma phagocytophilum than the other deer species. At the same time, fallow deer also had the largest influence on ground vegetation, that potentially could reduce the suitability of habitat for ticks.
The kappa of her PhD thesis can be downloaded here.
The wild life of tick-borne pathogens
For my PhD thesis, I studied the influence of different vertebrate host species on the dynamics of sheep tick populations and seven different bacterial pathogens that are transmitted by the sheep tick. I found that small mammals, thrushes and deer are the most important hosts for the sheep tick. Small rodents and thrushes are also the most important species transmitting tick-borne pathogens to the sheep tick. The behaviour and density of these species are the main determinants of tick-borne disease risk as measured by the number of infected ticks in an area.

Golden Rock Studios
Golden Rock Studios is a game development studio established by a select group of people who believe in the importance of working as a single unit with everyone bringing in the additional value with their specialist field. One of their slogans is 'Experience is Everything', and they take this very seriously as they seek to recruit the very best talent within the industry with the intention of keeping a certain standard and a reliable reputation.
Read on to find more about Golden Rock Studios, their successful strategies in iGaming, and why we're so glad to introduce them their games in our casino!
Games by Golden Rock Studios offered on our casino;
You can play the following games from Green Jade Games at Videoslots, and always keep an eye out for more of their slots featuring on our online casino in the near future!
How Golden Rock Studios Started
Golden Rock Studios was founded by two of the gaming industry's most respected leaders James Curwen and Will Mathieson. Curwen was former Director of Gaming and CPO of William Hill and Mathieson has been involved in the making of some of the biggest, most popular slots in the last seven years.
Officially launched in January 2018 the company started off in a converted cookie factory in London, and later that same year, they expanded with a new studio in Gibraltar. They then focused on assembling a small team of experienced iGaming enthusiasts and have been working on an array of different games which they operate from these two locations that are truly hubs of the industry.
One of the factors which you could say truly makes Golden Rock Studios a great company with a great vision is the fact that they are clearly very aware of the times and sticking well with them. Their minimalist take on slots is already a testimony for that and one can easily notice this on their website which is beautifully composed in a way that does not tire the passer-by and helps them to get around and explore the products of the company.
Golden Rock Studios Portfolio
It's very hard to truly categorize the slots of Golden Rock Studios because they are all coming from very different genres of slots, whether it is in-reel single feature, to huge multi-bonus fully immersive slots, and even table games. So much so, that the company have had 20 years of land based casino experience which really gives them a great vantage point when it comes to delivering authentic casino experience. The games are designed to appeal to a varied audience, and you won't find this hard to believe if you only take a look at their games.
Star Gods for instance is a typical five-reel by three-row slot that is themed around the legend of Fu, Lu and Shou, the Chinese gods of fortune. The design is made up of a brightly coloured palette with the sunlight rays glowing up the whole frame, with an animated feature that gets activated at various moments in the game. It is immensely user-friendly and inviting, immersing the play within the serene atmosphere of these beautiful hills of the orient, evoking this great sense of peace and relaxation; which is after all what games should feel like.
Another game of Golden Rock Studios which we also feature on our site, is Volatile (and no this is not set around the concept of volatility in slots!). The game revolves around a volatile volcano ona tropical island, inviting you as a player to a dramatic but inspiring place that has also cool animations that get triggered whenever the volcano erupts. The level of detail of the game is another aspect of the genius behind the developing team of Golden Rock.
What Makes Golden Rock Studios Different
The vision of the two main drivers of the company is to have Golden Rock be a front runner in innovation and a main character in the ever-growing casino game market. Their persistent belief in experience adds to the intense dedication of the company to produce and deliver slots that are not just with gamblers in mind, but that are also made my gamblers themselves, as they state clearly on their site. By looking at the industry from this point of view, Golden Rock emphasise that their employees are true passionate games who like their customers, want to play.
In essence this means that they work hard to achieve stunning design, great and unique features, innovative mathematics and well-tested mechanics and game dynamics, all of which you will always find in their games!
Golden Rock Studios Conclusion
The company's great awareness of contemporaneity, their focus on being the best and the value they give to experience are all very good reasons why we will be hearing more of them in the near future. This is a company who has stuck a flagpole deep down the terrain of the iGaming industry and they're not going anywhere anytime soon. Their dedication to gaming as entertainment and as an art form is clear not only in their products but also in their work ethic, which they so clearly state and emphasise in every single bit of company promotion and information available online.
We're excited to be bringing you Golden Rock Studios slots on our online casino and we look forward to see what's next from this provider!

It was an unusual research project… Not one in 1,000 investment advisors or newsletter writers would ever consider it. My research partner and I read every shareholder letter issued by companies in the S&P 500 Index. I got the idea from billionaire superinvestor Warren Buffett. Several years ago, Buffett talked about a one-page fax he got from the CEO of a potential acquisition: The quality of the business, he said, "jumped off the page." During our project, we found a few shareholder letters that were that good. And if you study what I'm about to teach you… you, too, will be able to identify companies that "jump off the page" as wonderful investments you'd like to own one day. You won't have to pick stocks anymore. They'll pick you! And it's easier than you think…

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch Right Now: Nam Tai Electronics Inc.(NTE)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Roberto Pedone]
Another stock that's starting to move within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Nam Tai Electronics (NTE), which is an electronics manufacturing and design services provider to a select group of the world's leading OEMs of telecommunications and consumer electronic products. This stock has been destroyed by the sellers so far in 2013, with shares off sharply by 41%.
If you look at the chart for Nam Tai Electronics, you'll notice that this stock has been uptrending for the last month and change, with shares moving higher from its low of $6.05 to its recent high of $8.38 a share. During that uptrend, shares of NTE have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of NTE within range of triggering a big breakout trade.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in NTE if it manages to break out above some key near-term overhead resistance levels at $8.38 to $8.79 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 647,483 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then NTE will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from April that started near $11.50 a share. If this stock gets into that gap with volume, then the upside is tremendous and we could easily see NTE hit $11 to $12 a share.
Traders can look to buy NTE off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below its 50-day at $7.42 a share, or below more key support at $7.22 a share. One can also buy NTE off strength once it takes out that breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

Top 10 Warren Buffett Stocks To Watch Right Now: Monro Muffler Brake, Inc.(MNRO)
Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Ben Levisohn]
Yesterday, shares of Monro Muffler Brake (MNRO) plunged 3.1% after Barron's Leslie Norton panned the stock in this weekend's issue of the magazine. And wouldn't you know it? Monro's shares are skidding lower once again today.
Mike Mozart/JeepersMedia
Norton's argument was straightforward:
At a recent $62, Rochester, N.Y.based Monro (ticker: MNRO) trades at a lofty 28 times forward earnings, compared with a 10-year average of 21.1, and 17 times earnings for the Standard & Poors 500. With sales growth slowing as competition increases, Monros strategic goal of achieving 15% annual sales gains and 20% profit growth seems distant.
Any hint of more sluggish sales could push the shares down at least 10%. Bruce Geller, CEO of money manager Dalton Greiner Hartman Maher, who is short the stock, says, A fairly commoditized business with low organic growth deserves a more reasonable multiple of 20 times.
That would put the stock in the mid-$40s.
Shares of Monro Muffler Brake have dropped 4% to $57.59 at 3:49 p.m. today, leaving around 20% of downside.
UPDATE: This post initially misspelled 'Brake' as 'Break.' It's been corrected.

(L to R: Brook Adrenaline GTS 10, 11 and 12)
I went shopping for new shoes last weekend. I went with a plan this time: to get something different than Brooks Adrenalines. So, of course, I left with a new pair of Brooks Adrenalines.
My first ever pair of running shoes, purchased at Jack Rabbit Sports in New York City way back in the summer of 2008, were the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 8. It was my first shoe fitting, and I went solely (ha!) based on feel -- the Adrenalines were the most comfortable of four or five shoes I tried on, so I went with that.
I use those shoes to train for the 2009 Austin Marathon, and that led to a second pair of 8's, and then a pair of 9's I used training for the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon. (From no running to two marathons in an eight-month stretch? I am not smart!)
And then it occurred to me that maybe I should get another fitting, to see what else was out there, and maybe come away with something different. I even tried a new store -- Road Runners in Virginia -- but after more videotaped gait analysis on a treadmill and multiple shoes, I walked out with the Adrenaline 10's.
The next pair was more of the same -- more gait analysis, more shoes tested, but in the end, I had the 11's in my hand when I left the Georgetown Running Company. Which brings us to last week, when I went to the GRC again, but this time with the plan to get something new.
I wanted something slightly less ... cushion-y. Not all the way minimalist, but somewhere in between. I was first handed the Newton Gravity, but the idea of changing my running stride that much less than three months before a marathon seemed dangerous (not to mention the $175 price tag). I tried a pair of Asics, and really liked them ... until I tried the the Brooks Adrenaline 12's.
It was love at first fifth sight feel.
Maybe I'll go back and try the Newtons after the NYC Marathon in November, but for now, as it always has been, the Brook Adrenaline is the shoe for me.

Forty years on and the significance of this era resonates more than ever – the Berlin modern pop identity, it's nightlife, even the public perception of the East and West severance. A year after saying goodbye to the artistic futurist, some of Australia's foremost music exemplars are coming together to honour the period and its three products Low, Heroes and Lodger.
One of Australia's most multitalented musicians, Max Sharam, returns home from her New York base to perform some of Bowie's most significant tracks with a cast she is flattered to be beside. "I love the people I will be touring with. I haven't heard of anything from Ron S. Peno since the '90s so it will be exciting because I was such a fan of him, I thought he was amazing. It will be great to work with Mick Harvey also."
Peno made his name as the frontman of acclaimed alternative rock band Died Pretty and alongside Sharam, will be joined by the likes of Dave Graney (Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes), Kylie Auldist (The Bamboos) and Kim Salmon (The Scientists) for the showcase.
Similar to Bowie, Sharam has forged a charismatic career never confined by impossibility. As a musician, her 1995 studio album A Million Dollar Girl won her an ARIA for Best Cover Art among seven other nominations. In 2014, she released The Gods Envy EP on her self-established record label Purple Flower Music and soon she'll be releasing a 2016 Christmas single, No Footprints.
Her ventures into film, stand-up comedy and visual art have been equally as impressive – taking the stage at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and New York Arts Festival, she also produced the 2007 AFI award-winning documentary Forbidden Lie$.
Throughout her career, Sharam has forged an understanding of various elements of Bowie's work, including his pre-Ziggy Stardust days, however her knowledge of the Berlin era is less profound.
"I used to cover some Bowie tracks – I did a really great live version of Changes – and in my early acoustic days I did a lot of Bowie on guitar," she says. "(But) it's quite obscure work and it's not stuff I'm familiar with. Of course, Boys Keep Swinging and a couple other tracks, but that's not my Bowie particularly – that Berlin stage. It's kind of new to me so it'll be interesting.
"You trust your own ability and your talent; you draw it from your own resources. I'm not worried because I love singing and I love performing. Bowie's a dream to perform, it's so out of the cliché, you've got to spread your wings."
While her connection to Bowie's Berlin tenure might not be concrete, Sharam hopes that some of her own experiences of the German capital will inspire her performance.
"I've got a bit of an affiliation with Berlin – I've lived there on and off and I've got a lot of great friends there – so I have a sentimentality to Berlin and I know where he was and what he was doing. It's a pilgrimage in a way for me, in regard to doing the Berlin stuff – I love that it wasn't so commercialised, it was really pure and really experimental and the fact that he was kind of out of the industry."
Directed by Mick Harvey, Bowie in Berlin will take the great visionary's legacy across the country through Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. It proves to dazzle and astound and while Sharam is not yet fully sure how the performance will be organised, she's hoping to slip into an alternative arrangement for Heroes' post-punk number Joe the Lion.
"I think he's got a whole structure and there's a narrative to how the songs are played out but it'll be exciting to see what Mick comes up with," she says. "I would love to dress up in a lion outfit for Joe the Lion but it's going to probably be a hundred degrees."

NCIS explained: What did Tony DiNozzo whisper in Ziva's ear?
NCIS fans may have said goodbye to Ziva David eight years ago but there are questions that still need answering, like what did Tony DiNozzo whisper to her in season 10?/
NCIS season 19 reached its conclusion earlier this year with series 20 due to premiere in September 2022. While the cast has had almost a complete overhaul, no one could forget the epic love story of agents Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly) and Ziva David (Cote de Pablo). While they didn't technically get together during the CBS police procedural, there were plenty of touching moments to keep viewers hooked.
Throughout the series, fans got a glimpse into Ziva's family history with all of them d***d except her dad Eli David (Michael Nouri).
However, tragedy struck in season 10 when he became the victim of a hate attack and died in the episode Shabbat Shalom along with Director Leon Vance's wife Jackie Vance (Paula Newsome).
After his d***h, a heartbroken Ziva took time away from work to fly his body back to Israel for burial.
Before she left, Tony showed up at the airport at the last minute to say goodbye.
What did Tony whisper in Ziva's ear?
When he arrived at the airport to wave her off, Ziva told her colleague and friend that he didn't have to come.
Tony went on to assure her that NCIS would make it their priority to track down whoever was responsible for her father's d***h.
Despite his promise, Tony knew Ziva would try and get revenge by herself and begged that she "don't do this".
She replied: "I'm going to a funeral, to deliver my father's eulogy.
"He was not an easy man to understand, and yet…. Tony, I…."
Ziva then leaned in for a hug, resting her head on Tony's shoulder.
In that moment, he whispers in Ziva's ear "Aht lo leh-vahd," which means "you are not alone" in Hebrew.
Ziva tells him "I know", before smiling at Tony and walking away to catch her flight.
As fans know all too well, this was the beginning of the end for Ziva in NCIS.
When Tony said his goodbye this time around at the airport, it ended with a passionate kiss.
Two series later and it was believed that Ziva had been killed in a mortar a***k, leaving behind her and Tony's daughter Tali, whom he didn't know about.
As a result, he left his dangerous job to look after Tali, making the move to Paris.
This wasn't quite the end of their love story though as it was discovered Ziva was still alive in season 16, having faked her d***h to protect her loved ones.
When Tony was told Ziva was still alive, he sent a cute video message of Tali asking her mum to join them.
It is believed that Tony, Ziva and Tali are currently living a peaceful life together in Paris.
NCIS is available to watch on CBS in America and Disney+ in the UK.

Recreation And Library The Focus Of Budget Hearing
Sonora, CA — The Tuolumne County Supervisors discussed the details of a planned $72-million preliminary General Fund budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1st.
CAO Craig Pedro noted that the spending has increased compared to past years, due to a variety of factors. They include a loss of federal Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act funding, increased spending for the juvenile detention facility and future jail project, adding additional permanent positions over recent years, multi-year MOU agreements with staff, unanticipated costs related to the Affordable Care Act, upgrading county IT infrastructure, increasing investment in economic development, a state increase to the minimum wage, etc. The county is also funding tree mortality efforts and the cleanup from the winter storms.
Pedro noted that the total proposed operating budget is around $220-million, which is the most expensive budget the county has had, even pre-Tuolumne General Hospital. The upcoming budget includes state grant funding the county is receiving for the construction of the new jail, which is inflating the number.
The supervisors meeting room was packed during this morning's budget session. Many in attendance, including several parents, were there out of concern about cuts to the library and recreation department. They spoke about a need to attract and keep young families, and give them something to do.
The tentative plan on the table calls for the recreation department to lose its various summer sports camps next year, and cut an employee overseeing programs. The library would lose its bookmobile, and also cut relief hours by around 500. Deputy CAO Tracie Riggs noted it could result in modifying some of the existing programs like children's story time. In addition, when there are staff vacations or illnesses, different branches may be forced to briefly close. The Sonora main library would also likely have to reduce its Saturday hours. However, there is money in the budget for the library to add a full-time director position, which it has not had for several years.
It was noted it would take around $93,000 to restore all of the services for the library and $35,000 for the recreation department.
Since the current summer recreation programs are already running, and services would not be impacted until next summer, the supervisors indicated they would like to postpone a decision about whether to cut recreation programs until September, when the final budget is approved, and there is better financial information known.
Some of the board also expressed a willingness put "bridge funding" in the budget to keep the bookmobile and library programs in place until at least September. The Supervisors directed staff to come back this afternoon with an estimated dollar figure for doing so, before a final vote is taken.

1759 - Dutch operations in Bengal
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Campaigns >> 1759 - Dutch operations in Bengal
The campaign took place from June to November 1759
General Situation in Bengal
Notwithstanding the many advantages that Mir Jafar, the nawab of Bengal, had derived from his alliance with the British, he would gladly have thrown off the restraint which their protection imposed on his actions. He had been compelled to draw so heavily on his own resources, as well as on those of his friends, that the latter were being alienated from him; whilst the trade of his country was being seriously prejudiced by the superior advantages which he had been forced to grant to his Calcutta (present-day Kolkata) patrons; and his revenues had been mortgaged to enable him to meet the claims constantly falling due under his treaties with the Council. Major-general Robert Clive had forced Mir Jafar to feel that the patronage of the British was essential to his very existence; a state of thraldom from which the nawab would gladly have emancipated himself. But how was this to be effected? The French had been rendered powerless by the loss of their possessions at Chandernagore (present-day Chandannagar); the Dutch had not at any time been sufficiently powerful to render material assistance, and much of their trade, by reason of the many concessions compelled by the British, had passed out of their hands.
But the Dutch, though effete in Bengal, were powerful abroad; and their agent at Chinsurah (present-day Hugli-Chuchura) had applied to the Dutch governor of Batavia (present-day Jakarta in Indonesia) - the capital of the Dutch colonies in the East - to prepare a powerful armament, which, he represented, if landed in Bengal would enable them to wrest the paramount power from the British, and place it in their own hands.
This scheme had been secretly submitted to the nawab of Bengal, and as far back as November 1758, there had been an understanding that it should he carried into effect as soon as practicable. Then came the threatened invasion by Prince Ali Gauhar (future Shah Alam II), when Mir Jafar was compelled to seek the assistance of the British to enable him to protect his menaced provinces; but now, this difficulty overcome, the nawab re-opened negotiations with the Dutch. Clive had long suspected that Mir Jafar had entertained hostile propositions from the Dutch.
Preparations for the Campaign
In June 1759, the British received intelligence that the Dutch governor of Batavia had fitted out an armament and was sending this small squadron to the Bay of Bengal to reinforce the Dutch garrisons. Vice-Admiral George Pocock, who was cruising off Pondicherry (present-day Puducherry) on the Coast of Coromandel, in daily expectation of a French squadron, had already picked up transports with 5 companies of the 84th Coote's Foot and had received permission to keep these troops to man his ships pending the engagement, for which he waited, with the Chef d'escadre Anne Antoine Comte d'Aché. A sight of the Dutch fleet at Negapatam (present-day Nagapattinam), however, convinced Pocock that the troops would be needed ashore and he accordingly sent them to Madras (present-day Chennai), recommending to send part of them to Bengal.
In August a Dutch vessel with a number of Malay soldiers arrived in the Hooghly River. Clive at once informed the nawab and solicited instructions; when the latter prohibited the landing of the troops, and desired the Dutch governor at Chinsurah to cooperate with the British forces and prevent the landing of any foreign soldiers whatever.
To allay suspicion, the Dutch governor informed the nawab, that the vessel causing such needless alarm had been driven into the river by stress of weather whilst on her way to Negapatanam, and that she was merely taking on board supplies before proceeding on her voyage.
Notwithstanding these plausible assurances, Clive remained on the alert. He posted troops at Fort Tannah on the river, with instructions to board all suspicious craft, and, if necessary, detain them. A few days after, a Dutch boat containing 18 Malay soldiers was captured at "Charnock's Battery." Under Clive's orders the prisoners were returned to their ships which soon put to sea; but Clive was now fully convinced, not only that the Dutch intended to land troops, but that the nawab was playing into their hands.
Arrival of the Dutch Fleet
In October, Mir Jafar came to Calcutta, avowedly to pay his respects to Clive; but in reality to be near at hand, as the Dutch governor had informed him that he was now prepared to strike.
In October, on the arrival in the mouth of the Hooghly of the 2 first Dutch ships, each carrying 36 guns and loaded with troops, Clive informed the Dutch commodore that he could not allow him to land any force or to march to Chinsurah, their settlement on the Hooghly, where there were 150 Dutch soldiers and native levies. However, the Dutch were authorised to refresh themselves ashore. During this time, 5 more Dutch vessels arrived in the river.
The nawab assumed an air of injured dignity, declaring his intention of driving the whole of the Dutch from the country.
On October 19, Mir Jafar left Calcutta with the avowed purpose of ordering the Dutch out of his country. He proceeded with his camp in the direction of the Dutch settlement of Chinsurah; but halting on his road at a place called Kojah Wuzeed's Garden, he summoned the Dutch agents to wait upon him and receive his orders. The conference does not appear to have been of a hostile nature, for on the agents going through the form of promising that the ships of war should be sent away as soon as the season permitted, the nawab granted them some coveted privileges previously denied, thus clearly proving that he bore no enmity towards them.
The Dutch ships, in place of taking their departure, moved further up the river, and landed some of their troops; whilst at the same time reliable information reached Calcutta that the Dutch agents were enlisting Sepoys at Chinsurah, Cossimbazar (present-day Kasim Bazar), and Patna with the connivance of the nawab.
It was now evident that Mir Jafar was in league with the invaders, whose schemes to overthrow the power of the British in Bengal were transparent to the far-sighted Clive, who at once correctly surmised that the Dutch with their powerful squadron would attempt to force a passage up the Hooghly River, land their troops, and march towards Chinsurah.
Indeed, the Dutch commodore ordered his land forces to march to Chinsurah and his vessels to capture any British vessels sailing on the river. The Dutch force accompanying this squadron consisted of 700 Europeans and 800 Malay regulars without any field-gun. To compensate for their lack of artillery, they arranged with their countrymen at Chinsurah (150 Europeans, some artillery and a number of Sepoys) to attempt to make a junction with their main corps at a given point en route. It was not anticipated that any serious opposition could be offered by the British; for the Dutch Europeans far outnumbered the British Europeans, and the Malay soldiers, who formed an important part of the Dutch expedition, were believed to be vastly superior in courage and physique to the Bengal Sepoys.
To meet this danger, Major-General Robert Clive, who was commander-in-chief of the British forces in India, could raise in and about Calcutta but 250 men of the Bengal European Regiment, 80 men of the Bengal European Artillery and 1,200 Sepoys. He summoned to him every man that could be spared from outlying stations, called out the militia (300 men mostly Eurasians) for the defence of Calcutta, organised two tiny bodies of volunteers (50 men altogether), both horse and foot, and ordered the 3 Indiamen (Duke of Dorset, Calcutta and Hardwicke) available to sail up the Hooghly, and strengthened the batteries that commanded the river. In addition to these precautions, the small snow Leopard, a fast-sailing vessel, was dispatched to inform Admiral Cornish, cruising on the Arracan Coast, of the state of affairs in Bengal; and urging him to sail up the Hooghly River with all dispatch.
Clive's next move was to prevent a junction between the Dutch troops on board ships and those at Chinsurah, for, until their forces should meet, their main army was without field-guns. But here a difficulty presented itself; Great Britain was not at war with the Dutch in Europe, so that, until the invaders should make some hostile demonstration, Clive was not in a position to act offensively.
British Advance on Chinsurah
In the second week of November, this difficulty was, however, removed by the Dutch themselves; who not only defiantly advanced towards Calcutta but addressed a long letter of remonstrance and complaint to the Council, demanding that the British should forego their claim to the right of search, and that Dutch vessels should at all times be allowed free progress up the Hooghly River. To this communication the Council replied:
- "That the British, in retaining the right of search, were acting under the orders of the emperor, and the instructions received from the viceroy, Mir Jafar; they, therefore, had no power to grant the requests of the Dutch, but proffered their services as mediators between the Dutch and the emperor and viceroy."
The skilled effrontery of this reply was worthy of Clive, and it appears to have had the effect which he most desired; for the Dutch commander, irritated to a degree, without deigning a reply, immediately attacked and captured several small British vessels lying off the port of Fulta (present-day Falta), burning the British agent's house in the same town, and, tearing down the British colours, transferred the guns and stores to the Dutch ships. The Dutch then weighed anchor and stood up the river. Clive now reported the circumstances of the outrage to the nawab, requesting that the insult might he avenged without any native interference whatever.
Just about this time, Colonel Francis Forde and Captain Knox arrived in Bengal fresh from the triumph of Masulipatam (present-day Machilipatnam) on the Coast of the Northern Circars. Colonel Forde was at once appointed by Clive to command all the company's forces in the presidency, and Captain Knox to command the Fort of Tannah and " Charncok's Battery," both on the Hooghly River.
On November 20, Forde, on assuming command, immediately possessed himself of the Dutch position at Barnagore (present-day Baranagar), and rapidly crossing the river with a small body of troops and 4 field-pieces, marched, under orders from Clive, direct to Chandernagore, to prevent a junction between the Dutch troops on board their ships and those at Chinsurah.
Soon after, the Calcutta Indiaman under Captain Wilson went down the river on his way to Great Britain. The Dutch threatened to sink the Indiaman if ever he attempted to pass. The Calcutta returned to Calcutta where 2 other Indiamen were lying. On his arrival, Captain Wilson informed Clive about the blockade of the river. Clive immediately ordered the 3 Indiamen to prepare for action and to engage any Dutch vessel they would encounter.
Clive thereupon ordered Forde to move forward by Serampore upon Chinsurah. Forde started accordingly with 100 of the Bengal European Regiment, 400 Sepoys and 4 guns.
The Dutch squadron, for want of pilots, moved but slowly up the river.
On November 21, the Dutch squadron anchored off Sunkeral (aka Sangral or Sankrail), just below the British batteries.
On November 22, the Dutch squadron landed its troops on the western bank, with orders to march to Chinsurah. This done, the Dutch ships dropped down the stream again to Melancholy Point. Knox was at this time ordered to join Forde, who had with him the main body of the British force, and Clive at once turned his attention to the destruction of the Dutch fleet.
On November 23, Forde encamped in the suburbs of Chandernagore, 5 km distant from Chinsurah. The Dutch on the same evening sent 120 Europeans and 300 Sepoys from Chinsurah to take up a position in the ruins of Chandernagore and bar his further advance without waiting for the cooperation of the troops on the river to catch Forde between two fires.
Combat of Melancholy Point
On November 24, Clive's 3 armed East Indiamen (Duke of Dorset, Captain Forrester; Calcutta, Captain Wilson; Hardwicke, Captain Sampson), totalling about 90 guns under Captain Wilson, attacked the Dutch squadron which drew up into line. This squadron under James Zuydland consisted of:
- Vlissingen (36)
- Bleiswyk (36)
- Welgeleegen (36)
- Prince of Orange (36)
- Elizabeth Dorothea (26)
- Waereld (26)
- Mossel (16)
Captain Forrester led the British attack, bringing his ship, the Duke of Dorset alongside the Vlissingen. The engagement began. It was Commodore Wilson's intention to have brought up his other 2 ships to assist the Duke of Dorset, but, the wind having suddenly veered round, they were unable to reach him. Nevertheless, Forrester engaged the Vlissingen with vigour, pouring on her a furious cannonade, which after a couple of hour compelled the Dutch commodore aboard the Vlissingen to strike. Just at this time, the Hardwicke and the Calcutta managed to come up, attacking two of the Dutch vessels; but they, declining the challenge, cut their cables and ran; whilst a third, in her hurry to escape, went ashore. Soon afterwards the remaining Dutch ships weighed anchor and retired from the fight. The Duke of Dorset had 90 shots in her hull, but her loss in killed and wounded was considerably less than that of the Dutch.
The prisoners were carried to Clive. The Bleiswyk, the only remaining Dutch vessel, got as far as Kulpi where she was captured by the British men-of-war Royal George (100) and Oxford (54) which opportunely arrived and secured their prize whilst they were hastening to the protection of Calcutta.
This splendid little action cut off the Dutch troops from their base and ensured that any reverse must be fatal to them. On the same evening, Forde learned that the Dutch army would come up with him on the morrow, and wrote to Clive for instructions. Clive ordered him to fight them immediately.
The very same day (November 24) in the morning, Forde attacked the Dutch detachment (120 Europeans and 300 Sepoys with 4 field-pieces) sent against him at Chandernagore. The numbers engaged at Chandernagore were about equal; but Forde had the great advantage of fighting on his own ground, and moreover his soldiers were used to hard knocks, whereas very few of the Chinsurah troops had been previously engaged. The Dutch were quickly driven out of Chandernagore with the loss of those guns which would have been of such vital importance to their main army and thrust back into their own territory, crippled and disheartened. The same evening Captain Knox arrived with 220 men of the Bengal European Regiment, bringing Forde's force up to 320 European Infantry; 80 European artillerymen, with 4 field-pieces; 50 volunteer cavalry; and 800 Sepoys (from the 3rd and 4th Battalions of Bengal Sepoys).
There were close at hand 150 of the nawab's cavalry, sent from Murshidabad avowedly to assist Forde, but in reality they were merely spies, with orders to allow the belligerents to decide the battle unaided, and then unite with the victors.
Forde now learnt that the Dutch main army, under a French officer, Colonel Roussel, was expected to reach Chinsurah early the next morning, so he sent off an express to Clive telling him that if he were empowered to attack the Dutch main army whilst en route he believed he could utterly destroy them. This note was delivered to Clive late at night as he was playing cards with his friends. Without leaving the table he wrote on the back of Forde's letter, "Dear Forde. Fight them immediately, I will send you the order of Council tomorrow."
Combat of Badara
Clive's reply reached Forde early on the morning of November 25. He immediately occupied a position selected with great care on the previous day, midway between Chandernagore and Chinsurah and astride of the road that connects them. In front of this position was a deep, broad, irregular ravine, forming a natural strong defence; an arid plain stretching out in front, across which the Dutch army (700 Europeans, 800 Malays, ald levies of Sepoys) must pass. On the British right was the village of Badera (aka Biderra), which Forde at once occupied; his left resting on a mango-grove of trees in which he concealed his 4 guns, supported by the Volunteer Cavalry, who had been instructed to take advantage of any confusion occasioned by the British artillery fire. The Dutch had no cavalry, and had found it impossible to move their heavy ship guns across country. In European infantry the Dutch vastly outnumbered the British; but they were deficient in every other branch. About 10:00 a.m., the Dutch force was seen approaching over the plain. As soon as it was within range, Forde's artillery opened fire. The Dutch advanced nonetheless with great firmness until to their dismay they found themselves stopped by the ravine, of which they knew nothing. The leading files perforce halted abruptly, while the rear, not understanding the cause, pushed on and threw the whole body into confusion. Forde took advantage of this confusion by pouring a murderous shower of grape from the grove of trees. The Dutch stood their ground manfully for a time; then, seeking cover but finding none, they were mowed down by sections. During the hesitation the British infantry charged down on them, struggling in the ravine, and, aided by the small body of Volunteer Cavalry, put them to flight; the nawab's cavalry finally joining in the pursuit. The rout soon became so complete that only 14 of the enemy succeeded in reaching their destination. The battle, which is described as having been "short, bloody, and decisive," did not last an hour, the Dutch leaving 120 Europeans and 200 Malays killed, and 150 Europeans and 150 Malays wounded, whilst Colonel Roussel, 14 officers, 350 Europeans and 200 Malays were made prisoners. The position of the British had been so judiciously selected that their loss was trifling; whereas the Dutch, in an unknown country, fell an easy prey to the victors. Immediately after the battle, Forde occupied Chinsurah, meeting with only slight resistance.
The nawab, discovering that his schemes to be rid of the British yoke had failed, turned upon his crushed accomplices with vindictive hate, threatening them, now that they were smarting and prostrate, with utter annihilation; and doubtless he would have carried his threats into effect, had not Clive interceded in their favour.
Miran, Mir Jafar's son, who must have been close at hand watching the course of events, now appeared on the scene with 6,000 horse, to drive the remnants of the Dutch from their possessions in Bengal. The Dutch settlements sued not only for mercy but for protection. Clive, on learning this, proceeded at once to Chinsurah, and seeing he had nothing to gain by the extinction of the Dutch, whereas their presence in Bengal, as dependents on the British, might in the future be turned to account, arranged a peace for them with the nawab, restored to them their factory at Chinsurah, and engaged that they should retain all their former privileges; at the same time taking care that their wings should be clipped, so that there should be no fear of their appearing in the field as our rivals. They were to be allowed to retain in their service only 125 European soldiers; and they agreed to pay £100,000 to the British as an indemnity for the expenses of the war. The captured Dutch vessels were afterwards returned to their owners.
Surprisingly, the British court declined to confirm Forde's appointment in Bengal and he returned to Great Britain a disappointed and ill-used man. Major Caillaud of the Madras service was nominated to the command of the Bengal army.
The Dutch in Europe, being in alliance with Great Britain, disavowed the action of their fleet and paid compensation for the damage that it had done. Thus, far from diverting British troops from the principal conflict, the Dutch expedition served only to strengthen the foundations of British ascendancy by the ruin of a still older rival than the French.

Which Mac Pro Model to Buy if Upgrading the CPU?
See discussion of upgrading the CPU in the 2013 Mac Pro.
The 8-core 3.3 GHz CPU is highly attractive for my photography work, offering an improved blend of high performance under both lightly-threaded and highly-threaded computing tasks such as my photography. Apple does not offer this CPU as an option.
Discussion here is premised on two key ideas:
- That OWC will in fact offer CPU upgrades for the 2013 Mac Pro. As this was written, that confirmation has yet to be officially stated.
- That the incremental gains are of value to the user; there really is no point to upgrading for mainstream use; know your own particulars or consult with me to discuss the value (or lack thereof).
Shown below is the MPG recommendation for the Mac Pro configuration to order for upgrade purposes. Recommendation is premised on a realistic need for the highest performance! It is not necessary for most mainstream uses.
- Upgrade the memory to 64GB at OWC.
- Order the D700 GPUs, because the D700 GPUS might be helpful in time.
- The 1TB SSD (flash) is not easily upgradeable and is the only internal storage available, so it should be ordered also.
Bottom line: the CPU upgrade will be expensive*, so skimping on the other components makes little sense in the context of the total system cost and a real need for high compute power. If your own usage can benefit from a modestly faster CPU, then top-end versions of the other components should also come along.
* OWC does not have CPU purchase pricing power like Apple does. Discounted CPU prices are highly unlikely.
B&H Photo has a similar model Mac Pro with 512GB flash, or view all.
