Super Rugby Pacific Highlanders v Reds Result Round Nine Clash

Everything that happened at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane as the Queensland Reds defeated the Highlanders. To take against the Reds, the Highlanders have selected a considerably rotated squad. All Blacks prop Ethan de Groot, who started last week’s loss to the Rebels off the bench, is back in the starting lineup. Lock Oliver Haig comes into the loose forwards at No. 6, while Captain Billy Harmon switches from openside flanker to No. 8.

James Arscott and Connor Garden-Bachop have taken Folau Fakatava’s and Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens’ places on the bench and in the starting lineup, respectively. Ajay Faleafaga moves to the bench and is replaced by Cameron Millar in the No. 10 shirt. Jonah Lowe is injured and Tanielu Tele’a returns to centre field.

Highlanders 1-15: Ethan de Groot, Ricky Jackson, Saula Ma’u, Hugo Plummer, Pari Pari Parkinson, Oliver Haig, Sean Withy, Billy Harmon (c), James Arscott, Cameron Millar, Jona Nareki, Sam Gilbert, Tanielu Tele’a, Timoci Tavatavanawai, Connor Garden-Bachop.

Reserves: Henry Bell, Daniel Lienert-Brown, Rohan Wingham, Will Stodart, Nikora Broughton, Folau Fakatava, Ajay Faleafaga, Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens.

Based in Dunedin, the Highlanders are a professional rugby union team from New Zealand that plays in Super Rugby. The Otago, North Otago, and Southland unions are represented on the squad, which was established in 1996 to represent the lower South Island in the recently established Super 12 tournament. The Scottish immigrants who established the areas of Otago, North Otago, and Southland in the 1840s and 1850s are credited with giving rise to the epithet “Highlanders.”

Throughout the 2011 Super Rugby season, Carisbrook in Dunedin served as their home field; on occasion, they also played at Invercargill and Queenstown. Forsyth Barr Stadium in University Plaza, Carisbrook’s successor, opened in time for the 2011 Rugby World Cup but after Super Rugby season, and the Highlanders moved in for the 2012 campaign. News for The Daily Rugby

They placed seventh at the end of the first season, then after winning just three of eleven games, they ended last in the second season. However, in the 1998, 1999 and 2000 seasons they qualified for semi-finals; hosted the 1999 tournament final against rival South Island team the Crusaders. They lost the game 24–19, and the Crusaders eliminated them once more the next year, this time in the semi-final. They would only place in the top four once again in the next fifteen seasons, in 2002. However, they defeated the Hurricanes at Westpac Stadium in 2015 to win the Super Rugby title.

Aaron Smith, a current Highlander, has participated in 176 games with the club in record time, while 47 other players have played in more than 50 games. With 866 lifetime points, Lima Sopoaga leads the Highlanders in scoring, while Waisake Naholo leads with 45 career tries. Billy Harmon is their current captain, while Clarke Dermody is their coach.

The Super 12 included five New Zealand clubs when the Highlanders franchise was established. The North Otago, Otago, and Southland provincial rugby unions came together to become the Highlanders, a franchise that originally played on the lower South Island of New Zealand and was known as the Otago Highlanders.

Gordon Hunter was the coach and John Leslie was the captain of the 1996 squad. On March 3, 1996, they played their debut Super 12 game at Carisbrook against the Queensland Reds, whom they beat 57–17. The Highlanders were leading the competition and unbeaten after three games. But the next week, they lost to Northern Transvaal 59–29 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in South Africa. They concluded the season seventh on the table, winning just two more games that season—at Carisbrook against Natal and at Lancaster Park against the Canterbury Crusaders.

The Highlanders’ least successful season to date was 1997. They only secured three victories and came in last in the competition. Taine Randell was now their captain, while Glenn Ross served as their coach. Among their eight losses that season was a 75-43 setback against Natal in Durban. Gavin Lawless scored 50 points for Natal, setting a tournament record.Tony Gilbert took over as coach after their 1997 season ended in last place.

Note

all of them for mitali (and adora, if you're feeling ambitious owo)

She’s almost 33, born April 20th, 2005. She’s a Taurus.

2. Gender Identity

Cis woman!

Lesbian, eventually taken by another OC, Savannah Wright

4. Race and Ethnicity

Mixed; Scottish and Indian.

5. Height and Body type

5’7, fit af

6. Headcanon VA

Haven’t terribly considered anyone but…… Claudia Black, with like, a scottish accent, would be Good

7. Occupation

Captain of Security

8. Weapon of Choice(?)

Bow and shotgun, for more “distance”. But fuck she loves her knifes.

9. Hometown and current residence

Bo’ness, Scotland. Prosperity.

10. Do they have any markings, piercings or scars?

Probably has her fair share of scars (newest one being from that gd crocodile). No piercings to speak of. A tattoo on her back that’s a dahlia and a transvaal daisy. They were each of her mother’s favourites.

11. Do they have any notable features, like horns, tails, or so on?

Not really, ha. Maybe her hair? It’s really long.

12. Own any pets?

A dog and a pig! She loves both Timber and Horatio.

13. Have any kids?

She wants to.

14. Can they cook? Can they bake?

She can cook pretty well but she usually doesn’t have the time. Baking, she hasn’t really been able to try. Not in a long time, at least.

15. Can they sing? Can they dance?

She can sing! Pretty well too! One of her moms was heavy into music and taught her a couple instruments. During their time in the bunker, she was taught a whole lot of songs on guitar. Might know a few dances.

16. Can they drive?

Yup! Best driver in the business ha

17 Can they fight?

That’s her main talent ngl

18. Have any special keepsakes?

She’s got her mother’s wedding rings tucked away. She never lets them away from her.

19. Hobbies

Nothing actually firm. She likes to read and there are times she likes to play music, but it can be sort of bittersweet for her. Hunting maybe, but that’s another survival thing.

20. Clothing/Aesthetic

She likes button-ups and to layer a bit. Enjoys soft blues and deep reds.

21. Fave food(s) and drink(s)

She misses salt and vinegar chips so much. Pretty partial to cider-- not the alcoholic kind-- but it’s harder to get.

22. Fave Color

Purple

23. Fave Genre

Romance lol

24. Fave Season

Fall!

25. City or Country?

Country

26. Guilty Pleasure

Tbh??? Finding someone to fight just to get some anger out.

27. What’s their family like? Who’s in it? What’s their relationship with them?

She had two mothers until she was around 16. After they passed, family wise she was alone for a very long time. Now, the Ryes treat her as family and, at some point, Savannah would be her wife. She’s close with Kim and she’d never let anything happen to Carmina. She’s fast friends with Nick when they get him back-- she’s always glad to see a good man who has no issue being soft or saying “i love you”

28. Are they literate? Did they go to school? How long? What level?

She went to school up until shortly before the bombs fell, and her mothers did their best to teach what they could in the bunker.

29. What was childhood like?

The first 12 or so years were in Scotland. She was pretty healthy and well balanced. She enjoyed music, knew some instruments and got voice lessons. She was pretty athletic too, planning to do something military-centric when she was old enough. She and her mothers moved to the west coast of the states when she was twelve. It was maybe a year before the bombs fell.

30. What was adolescence like?

The first couple years were in the “bunker”, which was barely more than a multi-roomed basement shared between her and her mothers-- their neighbor, who’d offered them the shelter, didn’t make it in. He hadn’t been home when the bombs fell. The food ran out maybe two years in and she got to spend a year with her parents above ground before they were killed. The rest of her adolescence was spent mostly alone, living in a small shelter in the woods. She rarely had contact with people, only ever to trade. Once or twice she’d lead people out of the woods. It wasn’t until she was nineteen or so that she joined Rush.

31. What’s their current main conflict?

Loooooooooooots of self-hatred. Sure, there’s the whole highwaymen deal, but her hatred of herself makes it hard for her to make friends because she honestly doesn’t believe she deserves to have them.

32. What steps have they taken to overcome this conflict?

She doesn’t, really, until after that whole deal with Joseph and the apple and the bear. She of the mind it was just a drug trip, but it did make her think about who she is. Made her afraid she really had become something monstrous. After a breakdown and some help from Savannah, she actively tries to be a better, warmer person.

33. How have they changed over time?

Her trying to change helps her a lot. She goes from being pretty quiet, pretty grumpy, and antisocial, to being a happier, more open, but still pretty quiet woman. She teaches Carmina some songs on the guitar and plays more often for the people in Prosperity.

34. What’s their room look like right now?

I mean idk how the rooming situation is in Prosperity, but if she’s able to have a room that’s more private, she probably shares it with Savannah, after a point. Might have some plants and her guitar leaning in the corner. If it’s a shared room situation, she probably sticks to the bare minimum as to not take up too much space. Maybe a trunk under the bed with her clothes and a couple trinkets.

35. What are they like as a friend?

Literally if anything hurts you she will hunt it down. If she considers you a friend, she’ll make sure you know it.

36. What are they like as a partner?

Romantic partner, I’m assuming, she’s loving and protective, but often restrained. She doesn’t like to overstep boundaries.

37. Do they have any phobias?

Water. She can swim but fuck does she hate the feeling of something about to get her. Selene’s quest did not help that.

38. Did/do they go anywhere special for vacations?

Her parents took her to Disney once, but otherwise no.

39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order?

Raspberry hot chocolate.

40. What time do they go to bed, usually?

Whenever she’s done with the work for the day and has the chance to crash.

41. What’s their morning routine like?

Wake up → unbraid and brush hair → get dressed → find out what needs to be done for the day. Food if she remembers.

42. What’s the dumbest thing your character’s done?

Go after Selene’s weed bag and get attacked by a crocodile, what the fuck, we can find you more weed, we can’t casually find Mitali a new arm.

43. What pokemon would your character be?

OOOOOOhhhhhh this is my kind question, I need to go look at pokemon lists. Oh fuck I’m back, she’s a midnight form lycanroc for SURE. Looks sorta scary, is cuddly, has the ability to maim.

44. What’s their pokemon team? Try to pick all 6.

I love these questions holy crap. Midnight form lycanroc because DUH. Houndoom. Pignite. Gengar. Yamask. Zangoose.

45. Theme song (and a playlist if you’ve got it!)

Wolf by First Aid Kit.It’s not a whole playlist but also: She Said Maybe by Steam Powered Giraffe. Lion’s Roar, by First Aid Kit. Ghost by Mystery Skulls. Thistles by Mumford and Sons. For Those Below, also Mumford and Sons.

46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect).

Oh this is pretty hard.... Violin-centric, maybe. And the tempo would be different depending on which point of her life. A lively one for early life, a mournful one for like…. 16-32. Happier again after that.

47. What was this character’s biggest turning point in their life, something that changed them almost completely?

Her mothers dying for sure! She went from being a hopeful young woman to almost spiteful. Killing the men who killed her parents was what sealed the deal.

48. What was their lowest point? What was their highest point?

Yup parent death is still gonna be lowest point. It was sudden and painful and no one involved deserved it. Highest point is when she finally breaks free of that depression and realizes she doesn’t have to hate herself anymore.

49. What are some themes tied to your character’s story?

Forgiveness, redemption, hope.

50. What are some motifs associated with your character?

Wild animals (mostly wolves), death and rebirth.

51. What were some inspirations for your character (people, movies, games)?

Big surprise but….. Mitali was definitely inspired in equal parts by Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross (so Lost Legacy, in a nutshell). Also some great wolf related aesthetic pictures.

52. How are you and your character the same? How are you different?

Well this is an unexpectedly deep question that I’m going to avoid due to my own self-worth lol

53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character?

I expected to have her be very heavily military, but I ended up with a woman who only really wants to be a wife and just love the woman she marries with all of her heart and she wants to raise a kid and just have a good and happy family.

54. What does your character want, and what do they need?

She doesn’t know what she wants but she needs love. Any kind. Platonic, romantic, whichever.

55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? What happens when these all interact with each other?

Protective to a fault. It can be both their best and worst trait, but their real worst trait is her self-hate. The two things interacting usually lead her to cutting herself off from friends so they’re “better off without her”.

56. What’s your overall goal with this character? Will they get a happy ending or will they succumb to their faults?

FUCK I want her to have a happy ending so badly. I’ll have to see how New Dawn ends first, but end goal is her marrying Savannah and eventually having a kid or two. Maybe twins???

Adora!!!

Probably the biggest change was early teens to late. She was angry and spiteful and pretty depressed.

“I won't get hurt jumping from that height”

43. What pokemon would your character be?

Whisicott! But shiny

44. What’s their pokemon team? Try to pick all 6.

I seriously love these questions. Whimsicott! Of course! And a sylveon. Gardevoir. Shinx. Rapidash. And Cinccino!! She’s fairy-centric.

45. Theme song (and a playlist if you’ve got it!)

Dance Apocolyptic by Janelle Monae.

46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect).

Hmmm… Piano. Something upbeat, most of the time.

47. What was this character’s biggest turning point in their life, something that changed them almost completely?

Therapy in her early teens. It helped her cope with the fact she suffered under her birth parents and realize she’s worth so much more than they tries to make her feel

48. What was their lowest point? What was their highest point?

It’s still gonna be centered in her abuse, but it could also be the grudge she holds on the Seed family (minus Faith). Highest point is probably something to do with Jess.

Healing, unconditional love, leadership.

50. What are some motifs associated with your character?

Water, guilt, death, freedom

51. What were some inspirations for your character (people, movies, games)?

52. How are you and your character the same? How are you different?

We’re about the same age? We both love Jess Black. That might be where the similarities end.

53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character?

I expected to have a gal who was nursing a crush on her partner in the force but instead i have a gal who’s a hundred percent in love with an archer she found locked in a cage by religious zealots.

54. What does your character want, and what do they need?

She wants some goddamn rest and the ability to go on a proper date with her girlfriend. She wants to see her dads again. She wants to be certain she won’t wake up and find herself kidnapped again.

55. What’s your character’s core trait? What’s their best trait? What’s their worst trait? What happens when these all interact with each other?

Is “sunshine” a trait? She’s a happy sort of person and likes to show it. Smiles a whole lot. Best trait is her willingness to trust. Worst trait… she can hold a grudge. For a LONG time. Holding a grudge can keep her from mending bridges, so it doesn’t act terribly well with happy & trusting. And when it does, she’s happy to hold a grudge lol.

56. What’s your overall goal with this character? Will they get a happy ending or will they succumb to their faults?

My goal is her to eventually have a happy life. She gets her “happy ending” in the shape of being with Jess until the day she dies, and even taking in a little girl to raise. She passes away in her sleep a long way down the line.

Southern Cross 1996

A Short Story.From what I understand a single colour feather is an honour. I was told by the RSM Bennetts of the Transvaal Scottish Regiment, that the red feather in my Tam’o Shanter used to be white. Then, in Canada a mal Scotsman dipped his feather in the blood of a Frenchman and the Regiment has a nice red feather. We were both pretty tanked up after the completion of Exercise Southern Cross.…

Dr Winifred Muirhead: A Very Partial Biography

I am terrible for seeing something and then going down a rabbit hole, in this case a biographical one. Looking at the 1911-12 Edinburgh and Leith Post Office Directory, the fact that the Asylum had a female doctor caught my eye.

So I present a very partial biography of Dr Winifred Muirhead: bacteriologist, pathologist, and first woman doctor in Northern Transvaal.

In looking up these references I’ve had to presume that they are all referring to the same person; the names (married and unmarried) are uncommon enough, and the timeline fits for a single person, but it’s always possible I have gone astray in places.

I haven’t been able to find out anything about her background, but she studied medicine at the Edinburgh School of Medicine for Women, which was founded in response to Edinburgh University refusing admission to women for its medical degree. A lot of the School’s students were local, so it’s at least fairly likely that she was from Edinburgh or nearby; in the years she worked at the Royal Edinburgh Asylum there is noted a Mrs Muirhead of 5 Ettrick Road in the list of regular donations to the Asylum - proud mum, or just a coincidence?

Winifred completed the Triple Qualification, a set of exams run by the Scottish Royal Colleges which offered an alternative route to qualifying in medicine outside the universities. She passed the first examination in July 1896, and the second in 1897 with a distinction.

In 1900 she was working at Plaistow Maternity Charity in London, which seems at that point to have offered mostly outpatient care for women in the locality.

The next place she turns up is near here:

This was a slum in Johannesburg called “Coolie Location” (which was pretty much as offensive at the time as it is now), which suffered an outbreak of plague in 1904 - the article “Pneumonic Plague in Johannesburg, South Africa, 1904″ (pdf and source of the photo) gives an interesting look from a medical point of view. Our reference to Winifred is that in April 1904 she was working in the hospital bacteriological laboratory during this plague outbreak (warning for racism).

There is a not-quite brush with history here; one of the people involved in the plague outbreak was a 35 year old lawyer called Mohandas Gandhi. Did Winifred meet him? Possibly, but there’s nothing that points strongly towards it.

Something brought her back to Scotland, or maybe South Africa was only ever meant as a temporary situation. We next find here here, Stirling District Asylum:

In 1907 she was Assistant Medical Officer here, and had a paper in the Lancet, A Case of Typhoid Fever: A Note on the Bacteriological Examination of the Blood.

She became a member of the Medico-Psychological Association (the forerunner of the Royal College of Psychiatrists) in 1908. She seems to have had a very specific set of interests in the intersection of infection and mental illness which means that she must have been pleased with her next career move, to the Royal Edinburgh Asylum. Edinburgh was where the central Laboratory of the Scottish Asylums, run by Dr William Ford Robertson, was based. Ford Robertson had written A Text-book of Pathology in Relation to Mental Diseases and was an enthusiast about the connection between infectious disease and mental illness. However, there is no evidence I can find that she ever actually worked with Ford Robertson; I must admit that he comes over to me as rather opinionated and arrogant. The vast majority of his works are his sole authorship; the few which are not are co-authored with men, though this isn’t all that unusual at that time. I may be doing him a disservice, but I wonder if he was a draw in the abstract and a disappointment in person.

By 1908 Winifred was the Royal Edinburgh Asylum’s Bacteriologist and Pathologist, with prominent billing in the annual report:

Not particularly relevant, but that same annual report included photos of the accomodation for private patients, including this:

No photos of accomodation for everyone else. Safe to presume it wasn’t like this.

In 1909 she published a paper, The Occurrence of Organisms in the Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid in Mental Diseases in the Journal of Mental Science, which apparently was awarded a “special prize” by the Medico-Psychological Association.

In 1910 she was supervising another doctor doing research in the Asylum laboratory, Dr Alice Babington. Just after that mention comes this paragraph, which I feel beholden to both screencap and transcribe:

“I desire to point out how suitable work of this nature is for lady doctors. Neatness and dexterity in delicate manipulation are required for it as well as great patience and attention to detail, and in all these respects women excel. On the other hand there is a minimum of responsibility and strain associated with the work, which is what women feel most.”

Can you imagine working with that level of patronising waffle?

In 1911 she was “recognised by the University as a lecturer on the subject of Practical Bacteriology in its relation to Mental Diseases.”

The 1912 annual report mentions a paper “done conjointly by Dr Henderson and Dr Muirhead, on the different forms of cells found in the cerebro-spinal fluid in disease, would have obtained on its merits the Bronze Medal granted by the Medico-Psychological Association, but for a technicality.” Now there is a sentence which is hiding a story, and almost cetainly a mighty argument. I haven’t been able to find the paper which this refers to, which just makes it more intriguing.

She resigned on her marriage in 1912, becoming Mrs Montgomery, and the Asylum annual report for 1913 says “for five years she had been Pathologist to the Institution, and organised on very satisfactory lines the new laboratories, &c, provided by the Managers. Her work was most methodical and accurate, and was of the greatest help in the treatment of the patients”

There were two papers she published jointly with others around that time, A Report of a Case of Insanity Associated with Chloral Bromide Poisoning and a Brain Abscess likely before her marriage, and Toxic Exhaustive Insanity Associated with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media, Labyrinthitis, and Extra-Dural Abscess likely afterwards.

She seemed to disappear after her marriage, with lots of irrelevant search results for either Winifred Muirhead or Winifred Montgomery, and no more published research. Then I realised that I’d seen the name Montgomery before, as one of the other doctors in Johannesburg. Had she gone to South Africa? Yes!

An article written by her husband in 1933 (warning for racism and graphic medical descriptions) also shows that this was quite a change of scene - not laboratory medicine but extremely rural and extremely hands-on medicine. “Delivery of such presentations as this one is still more complicated when one’s sole light is a storm-lantern, and one has to grovel on the floor of a hut.”

It’s also noteable that after the two uses of “I” in those first two paragraphs, everything medical thereafter is “we” - this was a joint operation, not just him calling the shots.

They seem to have lived in what is now Polokwane (Pietersburg at the time), which is now a city, but in 1904 it had less than 4,000 residents. Quite a change from Edinburgh, which at the time had more than a quarter of a million residents.

She is recorded as having her named removed from the medical register as deceased in the August 1946 South African Medical Journal, and has a very brief obituary in the 1946-48 report of the National Council of Women of South Africa.

“The first woman doctor in the Northern Transvaal” seems an appropriate note to end this on.

Since some people were confused about comic Flinty’s nationality/ethnicity again-

A quick summary:

-In the first story where he appears Carl Barks’s The second-richest duck (1956) Flintheart Glomgold is South African. It is however not clear if he’s originally from there and it might be implied he is like Scrooge a Scot who emigrated. In any case it’s not clearly stated and all we know is that he lives in South Africa in the present.

- A Danish story from 1981 The Top treasure in town shows his grandfather worked as a cab driver in England.

- Don Rosa explicitly makes him a Boer in The terror of Transvaal (1993). (So a descendant of Dutch-speaking settlers in South Africa)

- Lars Jensen’s The Glomgold heritage (2015) states his grandfather seen in The top treasure in town was a Scot who moved to South Africa with his son after the events of that comic.

- Some Danish stories mention he has some Scottish ancestry, like Family Of Fore from 2001.

It’s possible to marry all these snippets of fact together by explaining his grandfather was a Scot who moved to South Africa, while his mother was a Boer. He is pretty regularly referred to as a Boer in at least Finnish and English language comics these days and considering his close relationship with his mum it wouldn’t be surprising if he considers himself a Boer/Afrikaner before a Scot.

#in fact there are comics where he outright speaks disparagingly about scottish people #flintheart glomgold #don rosa #lars jensen #also consider: his native language might be Dutch #barks's flinty definitely considers himself a south african where-ever he is originally from #whether he's boer and/or afrikaner would probably depend on... stuff and in what context he'd want to identify #also time scale because if he's 150 years old...

On November 1st 1947 Gordon Brown “Broon fae Troon” was born.

Gordon was born in 1947 in Troon, the son of former Clyde and Scotland goalkeeper Jock Brown, he had also been a golfer playing off a scratch handicap, he had appeared in the Scottish Open at Royal Troon alongside golfing greats such as Arnold Palmer. Gordon’s big brother Peter also played for and Captained Scotland to 3 victories over England scoring 67 international points making him our all time highest scoring rugby forward.

Despite his fearsome build, 6ft 5ins and 16 stone, Brown was a genial and gentle giant, liked by team-mates and opponents in equal measure.

After a career which spanned 30 international caps and three tours with the Lions in the 1970s, Brown holds the world record of eight tries scored by a forward on an international tour.

I love reading the anecdotes from people like Gordon Broon, and it would have been great to attend one of his after dinner speeches.

A gentleman away from the pitch, he was never afraid of a ruck on it, here is an account of a lions tour to South Africa. One of those with whom Gordon Brown fought on the pitch in South Africa was Johan De Bruyn, a fearsome forward from Northern Transvaal with a glass eye which, with the encouragement of the’s" fist, flew from its socket and sank in the mud during a third Test melee. “So there we are,” recalled Gordon, “30 players plus the ref on our hands and knees scrabbling about in the mire looking for this glass eye. Eventually, someone yells `Eureka!’ whereupon De Bruyn grabs it and plonks it straight back in the gaping hole in his face. And when he stands up I can’t believe what I’m looking at… there’s a huge dod of grass sticking out of his eyeball.”

Gordon died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma aged 53 in 2001, he fought a long fight against the cancer but reading through the stories, he never gave up and never lost his sense of humour.

As proud a Scot you it is hard to find, one of his last requests, which was obeyed to a man at his funeral was not to wear black but kilts or the red and yellow ties of West of Scotland rugby club. He had planned to record his own eulogy, but died before the recording was made.

Instead, mourners were asked to stand and give the player “one last standing ovation” which lasted several minutes.

His white coffin, decked out in red and yellow flowers mingled with thistles was led out of the church to the sound of a bagpiper playing Flower of Scotland, accompanied by the voices of the congregation.

Indeed, “When will we see yer likes again…..”

Gerbera - simple cheerfulness

The Gerbera hybrida hasn’t even existed for much more than a century, and it’s already joined the ranks behind roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, and tulips as one of the most popular flowers in the world. Maybe it’s its uncanny flowerness that does it- when you look at them they look too much like a cartoon, almost plastic, made by somebody told to sculpt the most generic flower-shape they can imagine.

What we know as the Gerbera is an intensively cultivated hybrid between two South African species, viridifolia and jamesonii- the latter named after Robert Jameson, a Scottish immigrant to South Africa who fought in the Anglo-Zulu war who dug for gold in Barberton and sent specimens of the Transvaal daisies growing there to England. However, it’s not the English that really popularised the plant. Of course, the biggest commercial benefactors of this South African native flower were (who else) the Dutch. Dutch breeding programmes made the Gerbera the way we know it today, and even now it’s still changing: a sturdier stem, brighter colours with more variety, less light response… Anything to make a ‘perfect’ flower.

If the Gerbera is the perfect semiotic base example of “flower”, then that’s all it will ever need to be. It’s the most simple, surface gesture: cheerfulness with neither depth nor history. A perfect plant of artifice.

History of The British Empire

British Empire, an overall arrangement of conditions—settlements, protectorates, and different regions—that cover a range of about three centuries was brought under the power of the crown of Great Britain and the organization of the British government. The strategy of giving or perceiving huge degrees of self-government by conditions, which was supported by the distance of the empire, prompted the improvement by the twentieth-century of the idea of a "British Commonwealth," including to a great extent self-administering conditions that recognized an inexorably emblematic British power. The term was typified in resolution in 1931. Today the Commonwealth remembers previous components of the British Empire for a free relationship of sovereign states.

Origins Of The British Empire

Extraordinary Britain put forth its first speculative attempts to set up abroad settlements in the sixteenth century. Oceanic extension, driven by business desire and by rivalry with France, quickened in the seventeenth century and brought about the foundation of settlements in North America and the West Indies. By 1670 there were British American states in New England, Virginia, and Maryland and settlements in the Bermudas, Honduras, Antigua, Barbados, and Nova Scotia. Jamaica was acquired by triumph in 1655, and the Hudson's Bay Company built up itself in what became northwestern Canada from the 1670s on. The East India Company started building up exchanging posts India in 1600, and the Straits Settlements (Penang, Singapore, Malacca, and Labuan) got British through an augmentation of that organization's exercises. The primary lasting British settlement on the African mainland was made at James Island in the Gambia River in 1661. Slave exchanging had started before in Sierra Leone, yet that area didn't turn into a British belonging until 1787. England gained the Cape of Good Hope (presently in South Africa) in 1806, and the South African inside was opened up by Boer and British pioneers under British control. About all these early settlements emerged from the endeavor of specific organizations and magnates instead of from any exertion with respect to the English crown. The crown practised a few privileges of arrangement and supervision, however, the states were basically self-overseeing endeavours. The development of the empire was in this way a disorderly procedure dependent on piecemeal procurement, now and again with the British government being the least willing accomplice in the endeavour. Related: A History of Ancient Rome in 10 Buildings In the seventeenth and eighteenth hundreds of years, the crown practised authority over its settlements mostly in the zones of exchange and delivering. As per the mercantilist theory of the time, the provinces were viewed as a wellspring of essential crude materials for England and were conceded imposing business models for their items, for example, tobacco and sugar, in the British market. Consequently, they were required to lead all their exchange by methods for English boats and to fill in as business sectors for British fabricated products. The Navigation Act of 1651 and resulting acts set up a shut economy among Britain and its settlements; every single frontier send out must be transported on English boats to the British market, and every pilgrim import needed to stop by method for England. This course of action went on until the joined impacts of the Scottish market analyst Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (1776), the loss of the American settlements, and the development of an organized commerce development in Britain gradually finished it in the main portion of the nineteenth century. The slave exchange procured an impossible to miss significance to Britain's provincial economy in the Americas, and it turned into a financial need for the Caribbean settlements and for the southern pieces of things to come to United States. Developments for the finish of subjugation worked out as intended in British provincial belongings sometime before the comparable development in the United States; the exchange was nullified in 1807 and subjection itself in Britain's territories in 1833.

Competition With France

British military and maritime force, under the administration of such men as Robert Clive, James Wolfe, and Eyre Coote, picked up for Britain two of the most significant pieces of its empire—Canada and India. Battling between the British and French settlements in North America was endemic in the primary portion of the eighteenth century, yet the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which finished the Seven Years' War (known as the French and Indian War in North America), left Britain predominant in Canada. In India, the East India Company was gone up against by the French Compagnie des Indes, however, Robert Clive's military triumphs against the French and the leaders of Bengal during the 1750s furnished the British with a monstrous promotion of domain and guaranteed their future matchless quality in India. The loss of Britain's 13 American provinces in 1776–83 was remunerated by new settlements in Australia from 1788 and by the awesome development of Upper Canada (presently Ontario) after the migration of followers from what had become the United States. The Napoleonic Wars gave further increases to the empire; the Treaty of Amiens (1802) made Trinidad and Ceylon (presently Sri Lanka) authoritatively British, and in the Treaty of Paris (1814) France surrendered Tobago, Mauritius, Saint Lucia, and Malta. Malacca joined the empire in 1795, and Sir Stamford Raffles gained Singapore in 1819. Canadian settlements in Alberta, Manitoba, and British Columbia stretched out British impact to the Pacific, while further British triumphs in India got the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh and the Central Provinces, East Bengal, and Assam.

Dominance And Dominions

The nineteenth-century denoted the full bloom of the British Empire. Organization and approach changed during the century from the heedless courses of action of the seventeenth and eighteenth hundreds of years to the advanced framework normal for Joseph Chamberlain's residency (1895–1900) in the Colonial Office. That office, which started in 1801, was initial an extremity of the Home Office and the Board of Trade, yet by the 1850s it had become a different division with a developing staff and a proceeding with the arrangement; it was the methods by which control and weight were applied on the provincial governments when such activity was viewed as vital. New Zealand turned out to be formally British in 1840, after which methodical colonization there followed quickly. Somewhat inferable from pressure from ministers, British control was stretched out to Fiji, Tonga, Papua, and different islands in the Pacific Ocean, and in 1877 the British High Commission for the Western Pacific Islands was made. In the wake of the Indian Mutiny (1857), the British crown accepted the East India Company's legislative expert in India. England's procurement of Burma (Myanmar) was finished in 1886, while its success of the Punjab (1849) and of Balochistān (1854–76) gave a generous new area in the Indian subcontinent itself. The French fruition of the Suez Canal (1869) furnished Britain with a lot shorter ocean course to India. England reacted to this open door by growing its port at Aden, setting up a protectorate in Somaliland (presently Somalia), and expanding its impact in the sheikhdoms of southern Arabia and the Persian Gulf. Cyprus, which was, similar to Gibraltar and Malta, a connection in the chain of correspondence with India through the Mediterranean, was involved in 1878. Somewhere else, British impact in the Far East extended with the improvement of the Straits Settlements and the united Malay states, and during the 1880s protectorates were shaped over Brunei and Sarawak. Hong Kong island got British in 1841, and a "casual empire" worked in China by method for British bargain ports and the extraordinary exchanging city of Shanghai. The best nineteenth-century augmentation of British force occurred in Africa, notwithstanding. England was the recognized decision power in Egypt from 1882 and in the Sudan from 1899. In the second 50% of the century, the Royal Niger Company started to expand British impact in Nigeria, and the Gold Coast (presently Ghana) and The Gambia additionally became British belongings. The Imperial British East Africa Company worked in what are presently Kenya and Uganda, and the British South Africa Company worked in what are currently Zimbabwe (previously Southern Rhodesia), Zambia (in the past Northern Rhodesia), and Malawi. England's triumph in the South African War (1899–1902) empowered it to add the Transvaal and the Orange Free State in 1902 and to make the Union of South Africa in 1910. The subsequent chain of British regions extending from South Africa northward to Egypt understood an eager British open's concept of an African empire reaching out "from the Cape to Cairo." By the finish of the nineteenth century, the British Empire included about one-fourth of the world's property surface and more than one-fourth of its all-out populace. Limited self-government for a portion of Britain's settlements was first suggested for Canada by Lord Durham in 1839. This report proposed "mindful self-government" for Canada, with the goal that a bureau of clergymen picked by the Canadians could practice official powers rather than authorities picked by the British government. The bureau would rely basically upon help by the pilgrim administrative get together for its residency of an ecclesiastical office. Choices on outside undertakings and safeguard, be that as it may, would, in any case, be made by a senator general following up on orders from the British government in London. The framework whereby a few states were permitted generally to deal with their own issues under governors designated by the motherland spread quickly. In 1847 it was placed into impact in the provinces in Canada, and it was later reached out to the Australian states, New Zealand, and to the Cape Colony and Natal in southern Africa. These provinces acquired such full oversight over their inside issues that in 1907 they were conceded the new status of territories. In 1910 another domain, the Union of South Africa was shaped from the Cape Colony, Natal, and the previous Boer republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. This select gathering of countries inside the empire, with considerable European populaces and long understanding of British structures and practices, was frequently alluded to as the British Commonwealth. The requests and worries of World War I and its outcome prompted an increasingly formal acknowledgement of the exceptional status of the territories. At the point when Britain had pronounced war on Germany in 1914 it was for the benefit of the whole empire, the domains just as the settlements. Be that as it may, after World War I finished in 1918, the territories marked the harmony bargains for themselves and joined the recently shaped League of Nations as autonomous states equivalent to Britain. In 1931 the Statute of Westminster remembered them as autonomous nations "inside the British Empire, equivalent in status" to the United Kingdom. The resolution alluded explicitly to the "British Commonwealth of Nations." When World War II broke out in 1939, the territories made their own announcements of war. The remainder of the British Empire comprised generally of states and different conditions whose dominating indigenous populaces had no such experience. For them, an assortment of regulatory systems was had a go at, extending from the complex Indian Civil Service, with its to a great extent powerful reception of local practices in common law and organization, to the free and backhanded supervision practised in various African regions, where pioneers and business interests were left a lot to themselves while local Africans were isolated into "saves."

Nationalism And The Commonwealth

Patriot estimation grew quickly in a considerable lot of these territories after World War I and significantly more so after World War II, with the outcome that, starting with India in 1947, autonomy was conceded them, alongside the alternative of holding a relationship with Great Britain and other previous conditions in the Commonwealth of Nations (the descriptive word "British" was not utilized authoritatively after 1946). Indian and Pakistani autonomy was trailed by that of Ceylon (presently Sri Lanka) and Burma (Myanmar) in 1948. The Gold Coast turned into the primary sub-Saharan African settlement to arrive at autonomy (as Ghana) in 1957. The development of Britain's outstanding settlements in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean toward self-government picked up speed in the years after 1960 as global tension built (particularly at the United Nations), as the thought of autonomy spread in the provinces themselves, and as the British Open, which was never again effectively royal in its opinions, acknowledged the possibility of freedom as an inevitable end product. The last huge British state, Hong Kong, was come back to Chinese power in 1997. By at that point, for all intents and purposes, nothing was left from the empire. The Commonwealth, be that as it may, stayed an amazingly adaptable and solid organization. Read the full article

The Other One

Hi guys! This is a mini story with Glomgold being the richest man in the world. I also moved him to Duckburg so he could run into the person who humiliated him 60 years ago. You may see Glomgold in this universe is more like a mixture of real-universe Scrooge and Flintheart. Hope you enjoy!

—

Inside the ward it was quiet. Walls were printed turquoise, a blue curtain separated in between. Aylott sat beside the bed, peeling an apple. On the desk next to him was his portfolio, he had brought a few papers with him, so that he could read when he was waiting. It was not busy those days, he had finished his work an hour ago. Now, staring at the patient on the bed, he wondered if it would be better for him to pass away. No, he didn’t hate him. He just believed he would be happier in another world, that was what other people, those who called him “the richest man in the world”, would never understand.

“Aylott, where am I?” Now he woke up.

“In the hospital, Mr. Glomgold.” He said. “You suffered a stroke yesterday.”

“Yesterday! I must have missed the report from Thailand! Let me get out of here…” He tried to pull out the needle and raise, but was stopped by Aylott.

“It has been looked after, sir. You need to have a rest.” Aylott calmly insisted.

“No, the…”

“Southeast Asian stock market! That’s what I was concerned!” The door was opened at that moment. Two people came in. The one walking in front was an old man in a red coat and a top hat, a well-dressed old lady was following him, when they passed by she greeted them with a smile.

Glomgold narrowed his eyes.

“They are the McDucks. Mr. McDuck is your roommate, sir.”

Glomgold didn’t respond. His attention was caught up by the ongoing conversation.

“That’s not an excuse for not sleeping for two days. You fainted in the office! I should have never left home to give you such a chance…” She kept her voice down, while helped her husband to take off the coat, that made her speech more like a mild complaining than reproach with anger.

“I was just tired!”

“And you didn’t eat.”

“Well, I had a cup of nutmeg tea…”

“The kitchen is just one floor above your office.”

“I didn’t have time! I don’t know what all the fuss was about. When I was…”

“You are not in your mid-twenties, darling. I love it when you refuse to give up to your age, but if you keep doing this we may lose you at any minute. Take care of yourself, okey?” They turned to another side of the room. Behind the curtain, two figures got close. Then he heard the man mumble: “Alright! Alright! Just ask Donald to bring me some newspaper while I’m here.”

“What did you say is his name?” Glomgold suddenly asked, “Is he a millionaire?”

“Yes, sir. Mr. Scrooge McDuck is a successful banker and entrepreneur.” He carefully added: “But of course, his fortune is no match for yours.”

Glomgold didn’t seem to listen. “Bring me all you can find about his investments.” He said.

That was exactly Aylott was worried about. “Mr. Glomgold, he is no threat to your business…”

“Do as I said.” He drily replied, ended the conversation.

-£-

Glomgold returned to the office on the next day. Aylott carefully arranged his schedule, so that he wouldn’t be overburdened. His boss noticed the arrangement, but didn’t say anything. Both he and Aylott understood the impact of age on his health. Sometimes Aylott wondered what would happen to his financial empire after his death.

This morning Glomgold came into the office rather late. When he passed by his secretary’s desk, he told him McDuck would call in this afternoon. Aylott simply nodded, knowing too well what to do.

It has been a tradition for Glomgold to manipulate stock market to put pressure on his prey. He would deliberately leave a clue to his target, indicated whether he might survive depended on his will. When the desperate man finally gave up and called him, he would let Aylott to hang it off for three or four times, only after that would he picked up the line. When his boss was in the mood, he might allow his man to survive in the market, but he must be completely loyal to him; or if he wanted this game to be more interesting, he tricked his man into a crooked contract, and destroyed him once and for all.

Aylott would prefer not to receive the call, and he didn’t. One week after, Glomgold finally asked: “Did McDuck call?”

“No, sir.”

“I don’t understand…” he murmured, “Fetch me one of his financial reports, would you?”

“Yes, sir.” He quickly responded. It was right in his top drawer.

Aylott was watching him when he read it. Initially he’s pretty upset and impatient, he quickly read though the first few paragraphs and turned over the page. On the second page he slowed down and raised his eyebrow. Finally, he put down the report and murmured to himself: “This old bird is sharper than I thought.” Aylott was surprised to see a smirk touched the corner of his lips.

Glomgold didn’t seem to be frustrated, his next question was simple and straight: “Tell me his background.”

For a moment Aylott had an impulse to ask why he was so interested in this man, but he didn’t. He found the file, and followed the order without a comment:

“ ‘Scrooge McDuck was born in a Scottish family in 1867. He left home at 13 to seek for fortune, and struck it rich in Klondike gold rush. He married the famous “Glittering” Goldie O’Gilt in 1899 and settled in Duckburg, Calisoda. He has two sisters: Matilda McDuck married an Austrian professor Ludwig von Drake and currently lived in Scotland. His youngest sister, Hortense McDuck, married Quackmore Duck, who later became one of his managers. Mr. and Mrs. Duck died a few years ago, left their son and three grandsons.’ Rumor said his empire will be inherited by his grandnephews, but it has never been confirmed.” He handed in the summary with an attached photo.

“These three kids, huh?” Glomgold gazed at that piece of paper for a moment, asked: “What are those funny hats they wore? They look familiar.”

“That’s the hat of Junior Woodchucks, Mr. Glomgold. Their marshal came here last month, asked you to support a ‘Young Leadership Program’.”

“Now I remembered.” Glomgold sat back with a confident smile, “Give them a call and say I will donate for their whatever program.”

Aylott blinked, “Do you want these three kids to join, sir?”

“Yes, and they will. Because this program will provide them with the best opportunity to learn how to become a successful entrepreneur, and the richest man in the world will select his heir from the winners.”

“But what if they refuse? If they know their uncle want them to inherit his company…”

“Oh, my boy!” Glomgold laughed, “They don’t have to know what will happen, do they?”

-£-

Next time when Aylott saw McDuck was two months later. When he was writing a report at his deck, chaotic noises from the stair well distracted him from his work.

“Sir, you can’t go there. Sir!”

An old man was walking towards his direction, left behind a group of secure guards trying to stop him. Aylott immediately put down his pen, stood up and asked: “Mr. McDuck, do you have an appointment?”

Noticing his presence, McDuck turned to face him. The next thing he found was a cane pointed to his face: “I want to see your boss, now!”

“Sir, you may…”

The office door suddenly opened. “Gentlemen, let him in.” Glomgold stood in front, with his cane in hand. “I have business to discuss with Mr. McDuck.”

McDuck glared at him and entered into the office.

Glomgold’s office was not as luxurious as one might assume. He had one oak wood desk, a chair behind it, and a world map at the back. No chair was provided for the guest, but McDuck did not seem to care.

“Now,” he said, with a bit excitement in his voice, “What can I do for you?”

“I’m not here to ask for your help,” mildly irritated by his indication, McDuck was rather straightforward on his words: “I’m here to ask you what do you want from me.”

“Why? I don’t want anything.” Glomgold asked, playfully grinned.

“You knew what you have done to Southeast Asian stock market. Now you want to use my nephews to act against me! You even plotted this nonsense program to drive a wedge between them!”

Very shrewd, he thought, just like me.

“No, dear,” Glomgold slowly shook his head, “I want to help you.”

McDuck frowned. The man on the other side of the desk was up to something, but he was not sure. “How? By making my nephews your heirs? The boys are too young to understand, but you and I both know you have no intention to let them take over your business!”

“You understand it, McDuck. Après moi, le deluge. But the boys don’t. How do you know they are good business material? How do you know they wouldn’t be tricked and lose all you earned in the future?”

He saw his opponent slightly twisted his eyebrow. It was close, he thought. “That’s not important. The boys will learn their lessons. I have been double-crossed for countless times before I got rich.”

His heart skipped a beat. “You see, I merely gave them a chance to learn.” His hand was shaking, desperately wanted to know if that was an allusion, if he still remembered how they met back in Transvaal. “If they don’t fight with each other now, they will fight for your inheritance later.” It’s hard to speak calmly, for what was disrupting his mind.

“You liar! I will never let that happen!”

“Oh? So it isn’t true? You’re going to divided your company into three parts?”

“If necessary.” There was not enough strength in his words. Glomgold knew he asked the right question, but the old goat refused to compromise. “They’re still kids. One or two of them may lose interest in business.”

“Or all of them! Would you still be a kind granduncle at that time?” He grinned, “Or would you threat them to inherit your company?”

For a second it was quiet in the office, Glomgold noticed his opponent was no longer looking at him. “If so,” McDuck signed, “I will liquidize my asset.”

“How noble!” Glomgold applauded with a pretentious high voice. “How much I hope they could hear it!”

“They just did.” McDuck replied with a smirk.

“What do you mean?”

“I meant what I said.” He took out a Walkie-Talkie from his coat, “They heard every single word of our conversation.”

Glomgold’s face was stormy. He jumped up from his seat, grabbed the Walkie-Talkie and immediately smashed it onto the ground.

“You will receive a bill for that.” McDuck drily remarked.

Glomgold wanted to grab his collar, but paused. He swallowed, and decided to accept his failure. “I guess that’s it. Well done.”

McDuck shook his head with disbelief. “What’s with you, Glomgold? Why do you have to harass me and my families?”

This question, somehow, provoked his anger. “Why? Why? That’s the question I should ask you! You have all you need to be the richest man in the world, but you are not! You’re tough! Cunning! Diligent! Even fit! But look at how you waste your time! On these nonsense…” He began to shiver, couldn’t control himself, swept all the stationeries from his desk. McDuck picked up one photo, it was him playing baseball with Donald and the kids. He suddenly understood.

“Do you have a family, Glomgold?”

The old man was down on his kneel, didn’t reply a word.

“I once wondered what would happen if I give up everything to pursuit money, now I’m glad I didn’t.” He put the photo back into his wallet, “You are not the richest man in the world. You’re only a poor old man.”

He turned around and didn’t look back again.
