Sebastian Farrell
Terran Male
Standing just shy of 6 feet in height, Sebastian is athletically built and prides himself on his fitness levels. Despite approaching only his fifth decade, his hair is beginning to show signs of greying which is why he keeps it, and his beard, short and well groomed. Seb's fitness regime includes regular visits to the gym, sparing sessions with various members of the crew and leading jogging sessions to maintain fitness levels. His brown skin is beautifully smooth which is down to his skin care regimen, not that anyone else on the crew would know as he'd never tell anyone. Beneath the uniform, Seb has a twelve-inch scar on his back, running from the lower left to the upper right of his torso – a physical reminder of a lost battle with the Jem Ha'dar.
Personality Overview
With a keen intellect and an eye for the unexpected, Sebastian has quickly forged a reputation as an effective combat leader, earning himself a promotion to executive officer of the USS Thesis prior to reassignment to the Boadicea. Intent on carving out his legacy in the fleet and advancing to the upper echelons, Sebastian acts only when the time is right for him. A man that commands the utmost respect from his crew, usually thanks to stories of his service during the war and beyond, Farrell is a man that any officer worth their salt would want to serve alongside. Due to his outspoken nature and his ability to ruffle feathers, he often finds himself at odds with the brass in the same way that legendary Captain Picard would. He speaks his mind, offers his opinion (solicited or not) and scolds people as he deems appropriate, refusing to suffer fools lightly. As commanding officer, he expects nothing but the very best from those under his command and will take anyone to task if he feels they are not pulling their weight.
If you ask anyone serving with him, the Terran's brash nature is a small price to pay for the skill and experience he exhibits on the bridge of his ship, with the man often considered to be the deciding factor in many a situation. Despite his fearsome, growing reputation as a combat leader, Farrell is no warmonger. His years of service and his subsequent reputation have helped him successfully navigate dozens of first contact missions, as both an executive officer and during his early days in command) whilst he has been involved in negotiations for no less than five different trade pacts and diplomatic treaties.
A talented tactician and well versed in matters of intelligence, politics, strategy and tactics, Farrell is always a safe pair of hands to have around in a crunch situation. Despite his flaws, of which there are many that he would identify, he has a great understanding of, and respect for, every person he has ever encountered, whether they be an ally or an enemy. Being prepared for anything that might arise is one of his strongest mantras and, as such, he is never caught with his pants around his ankles. Calm and considered, he will not act until he has the advantage and the greatest chance of success but, in the rare times where he has suffered failure, he treats the experience as a learning curve, vowing never to make the same mistake twice.
Brash, outspoken, opinionated. Just some of the words he would use to describe himself. He acknowledges he could perhaps tone down his words from time to time, but he would never do so at the detriment of his more than plentiful positive attributes. Whilst Sebastian is a well rounded officer with vast experience, where he really lacks any skill set is in the sciences. He is not the kind of officer you want to have in the middle of a science related issue, and he knows it. That being said, he is not afraid to accept his flaws or ask for assistance, advice or guidance from his subordinates.
Food is a passion of his and he enjoys nothing more than cooking for his friends and colleagues. He shares an interest in literature and archaic music forms. Romulan Osol twists and Jumja sticks are among his favorites. His beverage of choice is the aromatic Kali-fal. Because he likes to eat, he can often be found exercising and keeping fit in order to stay in shape. He is a lover of music and fine art.
Personal and Service History
At forty-six years of age, Sebastian is far from a Starfleet veteran but has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon, nonetheless. His journey to the Santa Fe began in 2343 when he was born at Earth's Spacedock. Whilst not exactly a planned pregnancy, when Sebastian arrived, he was welcomed with open arms and his father in particular was devoted to his young son. Once the USS Exeter, home of the family, left Spacedock, it was dad Darius who stayed home to look after his son whilst his wife returned to duty as soon as possible. It was probably this that resulted in the somewhat strained relationship with his mother that would develop later in life.
Darius was crucial in teaching Seb everything that he knew and taught the youngster to grow into a respectful, polite young man who was determined to succeed in life. It was thanks to the values instilled in him that Sebastian applied to join Starfleet Academy in 2361 at the age of eighteen. He had developed a keen interest in athletics and martial arts from a young age, which had led to a keen interest in strategy and tactics and ultimately, led him to apply to the Academy's Security and Tactical programmes. Upon graduating with honours in 2365, Sebastian had the entire galaxy at his feet.
With a keen desire to reach the very top, Sebastian followed the journey of the USS Enterprise-D with great interest even as he found his own choices somewhat limited. His first tour of duty saw him join the Cheyenne-class USS Ahwahnee (NCC-71620) where he initially served as a relief Security Officer before taking on tactical duties on the bridge during night shifts. Less than two years later, the Ahwahnee, along with 39 other starships, fought the Borg at the Battle of Wolf 359 on stardate 44002. The heavily damaged ship was discovered by the USS Enterprise-D after the battle with only a handful of survivors, of which Seb was luckily one. He earned his first commendation, the first of many citations, for fighting valiantly alongside the ships executive officer when the ship was boarded by the Borg.
Sebastian remained with the Ahwahnee for some time after she was salvaged and, by early 2368, the Ahwahnee joined Captain Picard's fleet that blockaded the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. The ship was one of twenty-three assembled for the fleet and was one of the seventeen chosen for the tachyon network. When the network was disrupted by a high-energy burst released by the Romulans, the net was no longer effective in a radius of ten million kilometers around the USS Sutherland. Subsequently, Picard ordered the fleet to proceed to Gamma Eridon at maximum warp, where the fleet would attempt to reestablish the net before the Romulans got there. Once Commander Data of the Sutherland had exposed the Romulan involvement in the conflict, the Ahwahnee was the first to support the Sutherland during the Romulan withdrawal.
During these tense times, Sebastian was identified as a potential candidate for service on the Sutherland and transferred to the Nebula-class starship once the task force returned to Federation space. Whilst the ship underwent some minor repairs and received a new command staff led by Captain Christopher Hobson, Seb was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade and assumed the role of Assistant Security/Tactical Officer. The Lieutenant's time aboard the Sutherland was somewhat routine for the first three years of his tour, serving around the Cardassian Border Worlds and spending many a layover at the beautiful world of Bajor and at Deep Space Nine. It was at DS9 that Seb met the love of his life for the first time. Jessica Harper was a newly minted Ensign fresh from the Academy when they first met. They spent several weeks together while Seb was on leave and the Ensign awaited her first assignment, but they agreed to stay in touch when they eventually parted ways.
The Sutherland served valiantly in the Federation-Klingon conflict, supporting many engagements in the Archanis Sector before returning to DS9 at the conclusion of hostilities. Just a few months later, Sebastian applied for his first role as a senior officer aboard the Galaxy-class USS Magellan but was ultimately passed over for the role, the first time something hadn't gone his way. He remained with the Sutherland until the ship suffered massive damage during the Seventh Fleet's engagement with the Dominion in the Tyra System. Only fourteen ships from a fleet of one hundred twelve made it back to Federation lines, with the Sutherland among them, and the ship was laid up in dock for several months as she underwent crucial repairs. During her layover, Sebastian finally transferred to a senior role, joining the Akira-class USS Templar under the command of Captain Vasoch Gor.
As the ships Chief Security/Tactical Officer, Sebastian quickly proves himself to be a valuable asset in the ships arsenal and is crucial to the ships survival in many an engagement with the Dominion. He soon achieves the rank of Lieutenant and becomes a formidable, reliable and trusted ally of the Captain's. Templar served in nearly every engagement of the conflict with great distinction, only missing the devastating Second Battle of Chin'toka by hours thanks to engine trouble and a failed repair job. The ship rescued many survivors from the battle, including junior Lieutenant Jessica Harper of the Excelsior-class USS Tolstoy. Reunited in the face of insurmountable odds, the pair finally strike up a relationship, ensuring that there is truly something worth fighting for.
As Templar rejoined the fight for the Battle of Cardassia, Jessica remained on Deep Space Nine as part of the stations crew complement. The battles around the Cardassian homeworld were fast and fierce, the Templar proving crucial at different times thanks to not only her Starfighter complement but also her massive torpedo capability. Particularly effective against the orbital platforms, the ship was one of the first to not only make it to Cardassia Prime itself, but also to land troops on the surface following the Dominion surrender.
With the Dominion War over, Sebastian tried to return to a somewhat normal life, but found the aftermath of conflict particularly tricky to get past. He spent many months under the guidance of the Templar's Counsellor before ultimately seeking a change of scenery. Having served with great distinction, Seb was offered several postings, eventually joining Captain Gor aboard the Galaxy-class USS Adriatic as Chief Security/Tactical Officer at the rank of Lieutenant Commander and as Second Officer. In this new capacity, the Commander began his fast track to the command ranks.
Adriatic operated along the Romulan Neutral Zone for many months in between assignments to both Betazed and Bolarus as they assisted with rebuilding efforts following the war. In 2382, Sebastian applied to join the Advanced Command and Tactical Training Programme at Starfleet Academy, using his many years of experience during the war and beyond to assist him in completing the latest challenge of his career. After many hours of work, and even more hours in command simulations, Sebastian passed the course and split from Captain Gor for the first time in nearly a decade. Transferring to the Intrepid-class USS Thesis as Executive Officer, under the command of Bajoran Captain Kala Deion, Seb began to make a name for himself on this new path. Thesis travelled the length and breadth of the Federation carrying out a wide variety of operations, including spending several months in the conflict zone known as the Gavarian Corridor.
Sebastian, a talented tactician, was part of a special meeting as a response to yet another dramatic event in the history of the quadrant. It had been discovered that a Romulan star would soon turn supernova, destroying the planets Romulus and Remus as well as dozens of others, and killing at least nine hundred million Romulans. After a series of tense negotiations, the Romulan Star Empire had requested aid from the United Federation of Planets, and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard convinced Starfleet to mobilize a massive rescue armada — "ten thousand warp-capable ferries" — to aid in the evacuation efforts. Promoted to join the Admiral's team, Sebastian worked on the implementation of this massive operation. A humanitarian mission of such scope, despite the political pressures from several worlds on the outer rim of Federation space, was exactly the kind of work Sebastian had joined Starfleet to be part of.
The armada was being constructed at Utopia and in orbit of Mars when, on First Contact Day, multiple A500 synthetic androids at Utopia Planitia suddenly went rogue. They lowered the deflector shields protecting the shipyards and the planet itself and hacked the Martian defense net. Moments thereafter, numerous synth ships began targeting the rescue armada, the Utopia Planitia Shipyards, and the Mars Orbital Facility. The satellite network surrounding Mars was turned against the surface and the synths began bombarding the surface, igniting flammable vapors in the stratosphere and causing massive damage to the planet's infrastructure.
Commander Farrell, who had been at a meeting on one of the orbiting facilities at the time, could do nothing but watch, unable to prevent the destruction of almost the entire surface of the Martian planet. When the call came for the nearby USS Proxima to be activated, Farrell volunteered to join a quick gathering of officers who boarded the Nebula-class starship and, as acting second officer, he helped get the ship out of dock. Although the Proxima was only able to offer scant offence, she was able to destroy three of the attacking Synth vessels before the attack was over. In the aftermath of the devastation, initial reports estimated that over three thousand had been killed, but eventually the death toll was revised to 92,143 in total – a number that would be seared into the mind of the Commander and all others who had been present. It was a devastating attack at the heart of the Federation, made worse by the fact that it could not be determined how or why the synths went rogue. It was also an attack that put paid to months of work on the rescue armada. The destruction of the Romulan rescue armada left the relief operation in tatters, leading Admiral Picard to submit a plan to replace the lost ships with mothballed vessels from Beta Antares Shipyards and the 40 Eridani Starfleet Construction Yards, and to crew them with officers from his operation, such as Farrell himself. Alas, the Federation, advised by the commanders of Starfleet, rejected the revised operation and abandoned its promise to aid the Romulan evacuation, a decision that shocked Picard, and caused dozens of resignations among his staff. With their mission in tatters, Farrell found himself cruelly reassigned as Strategic Operations Officer for a task force sent to patrol and secure the border against any possible incursions into Federation space.
Over a year went by until, once again, Farrell was forced to watch in horror once more as the disaster that had been predicted unfolded much sooner than anyone had anticipated. The Hobus Star, located deep into Romulan Territory, did indeed go supernova, causing a massive shockwave that destroyed several key planets, effectively decimating the entire Empire. The Starfleet forces along the border were on high alert as the tragedy unfolded, with officers like Farrell standing, waiting, for permission to render aid. Eventually, to their relief, the order was received and several early relief missions along the former Neutral Zone took place. Farrell helped to coordinate events aboard the starship Thesis, dealing with many a Romulan in the course of his duties. But less than a month after the shocking event, the Romulans ordered Starfleet forces assisting them to leave Romulan space. With relations at an all-time low, and the Empire in tatters, the Thesis was reduced to border patrols and escort duties that felt like a return to the 2360's, when the Empire first came out of isolation. Just over a decade since the end of the Dominion War, the quadrant had changed beyond recognition.
In the years that followed, Farrell earned quite a reputation as he used all of his influence to work with those Romulan refugees who had made it to Federation space, and helped to establish several colonies where Federation and Romulan citizens would live together. Back in the field, Sebastian made the choice to request a transfer to a vessel remaining in the Romulan theater. Thus, his five-year tour aboard the New Orleans class Boadicea began, and so too did the Coard-Farrell reign of terror. Between the two command officers, the Boadicea was turned from an aging vessel with a somewhat complacent crew to a graceful old lady with a crew that was proud to serve her.
In 2399, after what seemed like an age as executive officer to Captain Coard, Sebastian was offered his own command, but opted to take some leave from Starfleet. Events later transpired which drew the Commander back into the service of Starfleet, his fearsome reputation as an honest and effective combat leader perfectly dovetailing with the reliability and loyalty he would demonstrate to any commanding officer, the commander was finally made a Captain. With years of experience on New Orleans class starships, Farrell rendezvoused with the USS Santa Fe at Starbase Bravo, overseeing the final stages of the ships refit before journeying to New Bajor in the Gamma Quadrant.

Serving on a number of commands over the years, Sebastian is proving to be a master tactician and a shrewd negotiator. A charismatic man that commands the utmost respect from his crew, any officer worth their salt would want to serve alongside him, even on an aging vessel such as the Santa Fe.


What are the biggest opportunities for philanthropy in education in 2015 to invest for impact to address inequity?
Philanthropic partnership can be hugely catalytic. What can and will make a difference in education equity both locally and globally? How do we develop strategy in partnership with philanthropy? Where are the best opportunities for maximum impact?
At the end of 2014, the Australian Federal Government cut its support to the Global Education Project, a national partnership supporting teachers and pre service teachers to embed global competencies such as human rights, sustainable futures and intercultural understanding into their curricula. This particularly affects the most vulnerable communities where funds for values education and the ability to transform behaviours are already compromised. In a world where social cohesion is being attacked, the marginalised are being exploited and education funding is being reduced by governments, I seek support from philanthropic partners to address this regressive action.

The 33rd Ryder Cup Matches, also known as the "Battle of Brookline",[1] were held September 24–26, 1999, in the United States at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb southwest of Boston.

The American team won the competition by a margin of 14½ to 13½, The Europeans, leading 10–6 heading into the final round, needed only 4 points on the final day to retain the cup. The Americans rallied on the Sunday, winning the first 6 matches of the day to surge into the lead. Further wins by Steve Pate and Jim Furyk took them into a 14–12 lead. The Americans recaptured the Ryder Cup when Justin Leonard halved his match with José María Olazábal. With the match all-square Leonard holed a 45-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. Olazabal then missed his 22-foot birdie putt to leave Leonard one up with just one hole to play, assuring him of a half point and guaranteeing an American victory.
The behavior of both U.S. spectators and the U.S. team was criticized by both American and European media. U.S. spectators raucously heckled and abused European players. Allegations were also made regarding cheating on the part of course marshals. Notoriously, the U.S. team raucously invaded the 17th green after Leonard had holed his long putt but before Olazábal had attempted his shorter putt. The incident was viewed by many as appalling sportsmanship, and an unpleasant ending to a Ryder Cup many in both the USA and Europe felt was not played in the spirit that Samuel Ryder had intended.[2][3][4][5][6] Veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke described the last day of the tournament as "a date that will live in infamy" in a Letter from America entitled "The arrival of the golf hooligan".[7]
The American win was the largest final day come-from-behind victory in Ryder Cup history, although Europe achieved the same feat in 2012. It is widely regarded as one of the most impressive come-from-behind victories in recent sports history.[8]
This was one of the last public appearances of Payne Stewart, who died in a plane crash less than a month later.
Pre-match tensions and aftermathEdit
Members of the U.S. team spoke out in press conferences in what appeared to be a blatant attempt to bait certain members of the European team into a confrontational response.[9] Jeff Maggert being one of the worst offenders when (at the time ranked 18 in the world) lavishly and outspokenly said "lets face it, we've got the worlds' 12 best players".[9] Colin Montgomerie was one of the first to respond detailing "You want someone to bite?, well I'm not going to!"[10] Payne Stewart also claimed by the strength of the European team, they should be caddying for the U.S. team not playing against them.[11]
The bad atmosphere continued into the week with the American fans heckling and abusing the European players. Colin Montgomerie's father left the course due to the amount of abuse that his son was receiving, and a fan spat at Mark James's wife.[3][12] Montgomerie in particular came in for abuse: throughout his Sunday singles game with Payne Stewart when fans heckled him, Stewart would get marshals to eject them.[13][14] Stewart eventually picked his ball up on the 18th fairway and conceded the match out of courtesy to Montgomerie.[15] Allegations of cheating were also levelled at a course marshall, who allegedly concealed Andrew Coltart's lost ball until five minutes had elapsed, and he had been given a one stroke penalty.[2]
Analysis of the event in its aftermath concluded that the U.S. team and their fans' behavior throughout the matches had been unacceptable which led to apologies from many of the American players.[16] Many American journalists conceded that the matches had become so intense to the point that they were no longer being played in the spirit that Samuel Ryder had intended.[17] The American press were unusually critical of their side: The Washington Post stated that "It seems an American team can't get through an international competition without acting like jackasses at some point" and The Los Angeles Times described the American team as having "violated every principle of proper golf decorum and decent manners."[3]
17th green incidentEdit
In the Sunday singles, Justin Leonard playing José María Olazábal in the ninth match of the order arrived at the green all square with at that point the U.S. team having 14 points and only requiring Leonard's point or half a point to make the remarkable comeback complete. Putting first from over 40 feet from the hole, he sank the putt meaning if Olazábal didn't hole his putt of roughly 25 feet then USA would be guaranteed victory as Leonard would be 1up with one hole to play thus gaining at least half a point. When Leonard's putt went in, almost the entire U.S. team and some fans ran onto the green to congratulate him being completely oblivious to the fact should Olazábal hole his putt then the match would technically still not be over. Many of the players and camera crew who ran onto the green to film the incident allegedly walked over the putting line of Olazábal which goes against the etiquette of golf, however no video evidence exists to prove either way.
This incident was met with extreme criticism from the worlds' watching media accusing the Americans of bad sportsmanship. Many of the European players were extremely critical of their actions including Sam Torrance, one of the vice captains, calling the American's behavior "disgusting".[18] Tom Lehman, who was singled out as one of the worst offenders, admitted the U.S. team had been more than over-exuberant on the final day of the competition and apologized on the team's behalf.[18]
The courseEdit
The Country Club, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest country clubs in the United States. It was one of the five charter clubs which founded the United States Golf Association, and has hosted numerous USGA tournaments including the U.S. Open in 1913, won by then-unknown Francis Ouimet. The club is one of the largest of its kind in the northeastern U.S., with about 1300 members.
The 33rd Ryder Cup Matches were covered live in the United States for all five sessions. USA Network covered the Friday action, with Bill Macatee and Peter Kostis in the 18th tower. The weekend was covered live by NBC Sports, with Dick Enberg and Johnny Miller in the 18th tower, Dan Hicks calling holes, and on-course reporters Gary Koch, Mark Rolfing, Roger Maltbie, and John Schroeder. Jim Gray conducted interviews, and on the final day was also used as a fifth on-course reporter. On the weekend, former European Ryder Cup captain Bernard Gallacher was brought in as a guest analyst to provide a European perspective.
In the UK, BBC and Sky Sports both had a presence, with Peter Alliss and Ewen Murray being the lead broadcaster for each.
FormatEdit
The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The competition format used from 1991 to 2002 was as follows:
Day 1 (Friday) — 4 four-ball (better ball) matches in a morning session and 4 foursome (alternate shot) matches in an afternoon session
Day 2 (Saturday) — 4 foursome matches in a morning session and 4 four-ball matches in an afternoon session
Day 3 (Sunday) — 12 singles matches
With a total of 28 points, 14½ points were required to win the Cup, and 14 points were required for the defending champion to retain the Cup. All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes.
TeamsEdit
Team EuropeEdit
The 1999 European Team Points Table began in September 1998, and concluded on August 22, 1999, after the BMW International Open. The top 10 players in the Points Table qualified automatically for the team. Captain Mark James then left out the number 11 player Robert Karlsson and the experienced (but out-of-form) Bernhard Langer by instead selecting Andrew Coltart and Jesper Parnevik as the two 'wild card' players to round out the team.

The 1999 U.S. Ryder Cup Team was chosen on the basis of points compiled by the PGA of America, early 1998, through the 81st PGA Championship, August 12–15, 1999. Points were awarded for top-10 finishes at PGA Tour co-sponsored or sanctioned events, with added emphasis on major championships and events played during the Ryder Cup year. The top 10 finishers on the points list automatically qualified for the 12-member team, and U.S. Captain Ben Crenshaw selected the final two players—Steve Pate and Tom Lehman.

Friday's matchesEdit
Morning foursomesEdit
Paul Lawrie hit the opening tee shot to begin the 33rd Ryder Cup Matches. The Americans got off to a good start when Tom Lehman chipped in at the first hole, but the matches quickly swung toward Europe's favor. With the Americans' top two pairings losing, the Europeans gained confidence, finding a dynamic duo in Jesper Parnevik and Sergio García.

3 & 2 Maggert/Sutton
2½ Session 1½
Afternoon four-ballEdit
Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke defeated Tiger Woods and David Duval, the top two players in the world rankings. Woods missed a short eagle putt at the 14th that would have squared the match, while Westwood hit a fantastic chip shot at the final hole to secure victory. Both Duval and Woods were shut out on day one.
The day's best match, and arguably the best team match of the week, pitted Parnevik and García against Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk. Parnevik holed out for eagle at the par-4 eighth, putting him and García a combined 6-under-par for the match, but just 1 up. At the 13th, Furyk chipped in from near a pond to square the match, giving the American fans a chance to go into a frenzy. At the next hole, Garcia pitched in for an eagle from just the right of the green at the par 5, putting Europe back in front. At the 16th hole, with the Americans 1 down, Mickelson hit his tee shot inside of four feet from the hole. He was left with the short putt to square the match, but missed it, and the Americans continued to trail. At the final hole, Mickelson again put the ball within five feet of the hole, but again missed the putt, leaving the Americans with an agonizing 1 down loss, and keeping Parnevik and García unbeaten.
Montgomerie/Lawrie halved Love III/Leonard

Saturday's matchesEdit
Tiger Woods won his first match of the week, teaming with new partner Steve Pate. Woods eagled 14 while Pate hit a shot from the rough at the 18th to within 15 feet to secure the win over Pádraig Harrington and Miguel Ángel Jiménez.
Jesper Parnevik and Sergio García won their third straight match, dominating the back nine to handily beat Justin Leonard and Payne Stewart.
The final match on the course pitted Jeff Maggert and Hal Sutton against Colin Montgomerie and Paul Lawrie. Maggert took the match into his hands in the final holes, making a long birdie putt at 17 to put the Americans in front, then sealing the win by hitting his approach within 5 feet at the final hole.
1 up Sutton/Maggert
3 & 2 Furyk/O'Meara

3 & 2 Stewart/Leonard
2 Session 2
With the Americans desperate to climb back into the contest, Captain Ben Crenshaw changed up some pairings in hope of making up at least two points. After playing with Maggert during the first three sessions, Sutton teamed with Leonard, but could only produce a half against the Spanish duo of Miguel Angel Jiménez and José María Olazábal.
Woods and Pate played together again, facing Montgomerie and Lawrie. Pate chipped in for birdie at the first hole, just as Lehman had done the day before, also while playing with Woods. However, the world #1 missed key putts on the back nine and lost for the third time in four matches.
Phil Mickelson finally found his game, nearing holing out for eagle at the 10th, as he and Tom Lehman defeated Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke.
The most dramatic finish of the session came in the match pitting Davis Love III and David Duval against García and Parnevik. Love had hit a heroic approach at the 9th from a large rock formation to secure an eagle, followed by a Duval birdie at 10 to go 1 up. Parnevik then responded by pitching in for a par at the 12th to halve the hole, causing García to engage in a large display of emotion, running onto the green pumping his fists, then doing a victory lap. However, the Americans were on the verge of handing the European duo their first loss of the week, with Love and Duval still 1 up on the final hole. Both Love and García had birdie opportunities. Love's putt was to win the match, but he missed. García then holed his birdie to salvage a half point, keeping he and Parnevik undefeated for the week, and causing another wild European celebration.

Sunday's singles matchesEdit
No team had previously come back from more than two points down on the final day to win the Ryder Cup. Team Europe captain Mark James put most of the team's strength at the back of the lineup. Meanwhile, Ben Crenshaw arranged the American lineup to put most of the strength at the beginning, knowing that a fast start was needed if the Americans were going to recover from the four point deficit. This led to several early mismatches. James had not played three of his rookies during team play: Jarmo Sandelin, Jean van de Velde, and Andrew Coltart. Due to the opposite strategies, this resulted in the three rookies playing their first Ryder Cup matches against the three top American players at that time, Phil Mickelson, Davis Love III, and Tiger Woods.
Tom Lehman and Lee Westwood, playing in the lead match, halved the first three holes. However, the Europeans seemed to pick up where they had left off when Darren Clarke chipped in at the opening hole, though Hal Sutton squared the match at the next hole and did not trail again. The matches were close in the early stages, but then Love chipped in at the 5th for a birdie, which seemed to inspire his teammates. Woods, looking much more comfortable in individual play, followed with a chip-in of his own a few minutes later at the 8th, which caused an enormous roar from the crowd that could be heard through the course. The Americans now had the lead in the first six matches. Love secured the first point of the day, winning 6 & 5 over Van de Velde, followed quickly by Lehman and Sutton. Mickelson and Sandelin previously had a history with each other, stemming from the 1996 Alfred Dunhill Cup. Sandelin drew the ire of the American fans, who were well aware of the incident, which led to a strange exchange at the second hole. Sandelin missed a short putt for birdie, for which the crowd cheered, prompting Sandelin to raise his hands in mock acknowledgement of the cheering. He never looked comfortable and lose to Mickelson 4 & 3. Jesper Parnevik, separated from García, looked out of sorts, losing six of the first eight holes against David Duval, and lost by a five-hole margin. Woods then closed out Coltart to give the U.S. a 12–10 lead, their first lead of the week.
The Americans had won the first six matches of the day. Pádraig Harrington got the Europeans their first point of the day when his opponent Mark O'Meara could not escape a bunker at the final hole. Steve Pate answered by defeating Miguel Ángel Jiménez. The biggest European win came from the anchor match, with Paul Lawrie winning three of the first eight holes against Jeff Maggert, and going on to win 4 & 3. However, Sergio García lost by the same margin to Jim Furyk, his first loss of the week. Both Parnevik and García lost by large margins in singles after going undefeated in team play.
The Americans now led 14–12, with two matches on the course. The U.S. now needed just half a point to win, while Europe needed two points to retain the cup in a tie situation. The remaining matches pitted Colin Montgomerie against Payne Stewart, and José María Olazábal against Justin Leonard. Montgomerie and Stewart had gone back and forth for much of the front nine, with both players making several long putts. Montgomerie then won the 12th to move 2 up. Stewart won the 14th, while both players found trouble at 15, and both faced lengthy par putts. Montgomerie missed from 15 feet, while Stewart holed from 35 feet to square the match with three holes to play. Stewart's excited fist pump has been used on many Ryder Cup promotional materials, including NBC's telecast opens, since the American's death a month later.
Meanwhile, the other match appeared to be a blowout with Olazábal leading Leonard 4 up with just seven holes to play. However, the Spaniard played the next three holes in 5-6-5, losing all three, to drop his lead to one hole. Leonard then sunk a 40-foot putt at the 15th to square the match, a scene very similar to Stewart's putt at the same green. At the 17th, Leonard had another 40 footer for birdie, with Olazábal about 15 feet closer. Leonard holed the unlikely birdie, sending the American team into a frenzy. The team, their wives and NBC cameramen all ran onto the green to hug Leonard, with the cameramen allegedly stepping in Olazábal's line. Eventually order was restored, and Olazábal had a 25-foot putt to keep Europe's hope alive. He missed, and the American comeback was complete, with Leonard dormie, guaranteeing the half point needed by the U.S.
With the crowd in a frenzy and the matches already decided, Stewart picked up the ball of Montgomerie and conceded the final match to the Europeans in a gesture of sportsmanship. This made the final score 14½–13½ officially.

York (group)
York (explorer)
York ( i/ˈjɔːrk/) is a historic walled city at the confluence of the rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England, and is the traditional county town of Yorkshire to which it gives its name. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events in England throughout much of its two millennia of existence. The city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural and sporting activities making it a popular tourist destination for millions.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained.
In the 19th century, York became a hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy.

York is a German electronica music duo, founded in 1997 by musicians and brothers Torsten and Jörg Stenzel. Producing ambient, downtempo, chillout, house and trance, their productions are known for catchy guitar hooks, atmospheric soundscapes and delicate dance textures.
Torsten Stenzel began his musical career early in his childhood, learning the piano from the age of five when he began his classical training. In the early 1990s his musical orientation changed, and he discovered the growing techno/house movement. He built his own recording studio. Torsten Stenzel is credited for several gold and platinum awards, an 'Echo' nomination and over three million record sales.
Jörg Stenzel has, since the age of eleven, been interested in stringed instruments, the guitar in particular. The two brothers combined their talents in 1997 and project 'York' was born.
York has released four successful UK singles. Their first single, "The Awakening", reached #11 in the UK Singles Chart in October 1999. Their second single, "On The Beach" (which sampled Chris Rea's song, "On The Beach") was their biggest hit, the 'CRW edit' helped the single to reach #4 in the UK chart in June 2000, and it sold over 200,000 copies. The next chart entry "Farewell To The Moon" reached #37 in November 2000. Their final UK hit single to date was "The Fields of Love" which featured ATB. It reached #16 in January 2001.

York (1770–1822) was an African-American slave best known for his participation with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Enslaved by William Clark, he performed hard manual labor without pay, but participated as a full member of the expedition. Like many other expedition members, his ultimate fate is unclear. There is evidence that after the expedition's return, Clark had difficulty compelling York to resume his former status, and York may have later escaped or been freed, but nothing is entirely clear on this.
Early and family life
York was born in Caroline County near Ladysmith, Virginia. He, his father, his mother (Rose) and younger sister and brother (Nancy and Juba), were enslaved by the Clark family. York was William Clark's servant from boyhood, and was left to William in his father's will. He had a wife whom he rarely saw, and likely lost contact with her after 1811 when she was sold/sent to Mississippi. It is not known if York fathered any children.

New Rocknasium is Finally Open!
I went to the opening night and it was buzzing with activity. There was good food, great people, and a ton of new routes. If you ever want to get into rock climbing while at Davis, I would go here. Prices aren't too bad and there's always nice people around to help you if you need it.
I was just there like a month ago. Didn't know they where going to renovate.
They built a brand new gym ~100 feet away, just keep walking towards the end of the alley and it's there. If you look at the blog there's a bunch of construction pictures, but it looks even better in person!
I've never rocked climbed before. Do they have lessons or beginners activities?
They offer belay lessons for $10, and are super friendly and helpful at the front desk as long as the place isn't too crowded. More info can be found here, but I'm not sure how up to date it is. Also... if you or a friend have a car and get to Sacramento this is an amazing deal for Pipeworks through Groupon, fwiw my first climbing experience was over at Pipeworks.

Biografia
Dopo aver ottenuto una laurea in scienze agrarie ottenuta all'Università del Cairo, è comparso in oltre cento film e dieci commedie ed è divenuto grazie alla sua attività uno degli attori più popolari in Egitto e nel mondo arabo.

La sua lunga carriera gli ha permesso di ricevere diverse lodi nonostante la sua fisionomia stravagante per il ruolo non di attore secondario bensì di protagonista, capace di interpretare personaggi di ogni livello sociale e in situazioni diverse. Infatti Imam è passato per diversi generi di comicità, dallo slapstick (comicità basata sul linguaggio del corpo), alla farsa, incentrandosi spesso sulla comicità che scaturisce dall'ambiguità di parole e frasi con doppio senso e dal fraintendimento.

Imam tuttavia è fondamentalmente un attore comico anche se ha talvolta interpretato ruoli seri, specialmente nei suoi primi film, nei quali combinava commedia e romanzesco.

Nel gennaio 2000 Imam è stato inoltre nominato dall'ONU come Ambasciatore di benevolenza per l'UNHCR, per il quale si impegna a favore della causa dei rifugiati. A favore di tale causa ha partecipato anche ai film Morgan Ahmed Morgan e Hassan and Marcus, che trattano questo tema.

Infine ha interpretato commedie come Al-Zaeem, che mettono in ridicolo e criticano le dittature e i regimi non democratici, e che sono state interpretate come una critica - più o meno velata - al governo e al presidente egiziani e gli hanno dato la fama di un attore critico nei confronti delle istituzioni.

Vita privata
Imam è sposato e ha tre figli, fra cui il giovane regista Rami Imam e Mohamed Imam che ha anche interpretato un ruolo nel film The Yacoubian Building. L'attore Mustafa Metwalli (1949-2000) era suo cognato, mentre ha dichiarato in una trasmissione televisiva che Amin Shalaby, Younes Shalaby (1941-2007) e Saeed Saleh (1938-2014) sono stati i suoi migliori amici sin dall'università.

Odfjell announces sale of its Rotterdam terminal for $155m
Odfjell Terminals B.V. (OTBV) intends to enter into an agreement with Koole Terminals B.V. of the Netherlands (Koole) to sell its 100% ownership of Odfjell Terminals Rotterdam (OTR) and Odfjell Terminals Maritiem (OTM) for $155m net of estimated transaction costs.
On May 8th, 2018, Odfjell SE (Odfjell) announced that Lindsay Goldberg was considering a sale of its 49% shareholding in OTBV, and made the announcement that it would consider tagging along on an outright sale of OTBV subsidiaries OTR and OTM. Lindsay Goldberg's exit process for the remaining shareholding in OTBV is still ongoing.
Koole will compensate OTBV for all permitted equity injections made in 2018 until closing. The intended transaction would at closing reduce Odfjell Terminals net debt with around $35m. Odfjell SE's share of the proceeds at closing is expected to amount to around $100m and result in an estimated book loss for Odfjell SE of around $100m. Any sale will be subject to the employee consultation procedures being finalised, finalising documentation and to customary regulatory approvals.
Kristian Mørch, Chief Executive Officer of Odfjell said: "This is a landmark transaction for us. We have been working hard to restore profitability at OTR during the past years, and the terminal is now ready for the next step of development, which will require significant investments. We are therefore pleased to have Koole as the potential purchaser. Koole has great ambitions for the terminal, and we are confident in their ability to realise the value potential this business represents. Following a sale of OTR, Odfjell will have a network of seven tank terminals worldwide. We remain committed to our tank terminals business and will allocate capital for growth of Odfjell Terminals in the years to come."
Frank Erkelens, Chief Executive Officer of Odfjell Terminals said: "OTR is well positioned to continue with building a successful future on the fundaments of its strategic location in the Port of Rotterdam, its unique capabilities, its top quartile safety performance and its strong organisation. On behalf of Odfjell Terminals, I pay tribute to all the stakeholders of OTR for their continuous support. Odfjell Terminals remains focused on providing best in class safety and service performance to our respected customers across our terminal network."

On #30 I think you were both right.
The old 611 (61 + J20) and 641 (64 + J22) were the same die pair, so 611 was retired and the current Catalog # 641 was kept for the die pair. The news page item #40 covered this change.
If there is still a link in the catalog taking you to obsolete pages for Obv 61 Or Rev J20, let me know and I will fix them. I try to catch all of those, but it's always possible to miss one.
Thank you Gidjit for all the practice on the 59's I can't understand why others haven't chimed in on this post surely there must be more Haxby die collectors out there other than the very few that have chimed on that could join in.
Sorry Don, I did actually think of that I was to quick on answers so I'll take a seat on the side lines and watch a bit.
well I'm glad you are getting them correct because that confirms I'm right too!!

From the imported St Helena roof tiles, to the pressed metal ceilings from Germany, the building of Hamilton's iconic Greenslade House was an exercise in extravagance.
French firebricks, stained glass windows and even flushing toilets - the house was a jewel from the very beginning.
John W. Warren designed the stunning home at 1 Wellington Street in 1911. His original architectural plans are in a fine condition and are carefully stored at the Waikato Museum. The plans comprise two sheets, immaculately crafted in a combination of ink, pencil and watercolour. The first sheet shows the plans for the ground, first and attic floors, as well as an elevation through the hall and of the outside stairs. The second sheet - titled "Mr Greenslade's Works"- shows front, east and back elevations. The plans were accessioned by the Museum in 1997, and are a part of the White and Macdonald architectural collection.
Warren was commissioned to design this fine home by Henry James Greenslade, one time Liberal MP for the Waikato, and proprietor of the Waikato Times, who had purchased the property from Isaac Coates for 1500 pounds. During the 18 months it took to build Greenslade house, Henry, his wife Louisa and two sons Roy and Errol, lived in a long shack on the riverbank. Errol estimated it was about 80 feet long and a single room's width, so when the house was completed in 1912, there was a "good party" to celebrate.
The completed home cost 3,500 pounds and was an opulent example of the finest Edwardian architecture. Mr Greenslade spared no expense, and the builder J. McKinnon used premium materials including heart rimu, kauri and matai from the Mamaku ranges. The house included dining and living rooms, a maid's room, butler's pantry and a library, along with 7 bedrooms and of course, the signature tower room.
The tower room was built for Errol Greenslade, who was 16 when the home was completed. He recalls the view being magnificent, allowing him to see as far as Hamilton Hotel on Victoria Street, and he could clearly see trains crossing the railway bridge. In an oral history account recorded in 1980, he said his mother had considered him a 'sickly child', and pampered him so much he remained that way. The tower was for him as it would allow plenty of light and air, and Errol lived there from 1912-1920. When the First World War erupted in 1914 he went to enlist but failed his medical as a "weakling", perhaps due to his Mother's pampering. He was refused entry to the army, even as a despatch rider using his own motorbike. He recalls being given an armband to wear so he wouldn't be labelled a conscientious objector and sent white feathers.
Henry Greenslade's fortunes changed not long after his home was completed. A combination of bad luck and a fondness of drink diminished his fortune, forcing the family to let rooms and eventually sell the house in 1934 to Thomas and Rose Pearson, of Sandsoap fame.
It remained largely a boarding house until 1970 when it was purchased by Tom and Shirley Muir. They lovingly restored the home to its former glory, and today it remains an iconic heritage symbol on our riverbank.

Australia's budget-savvy snow lovers are planning to take on the crowds this Saturday at Aldi's famed snow gear sale.
The European retailer makes headlines each year with the sale, attracting scores of shoppers determined to stock up on affordable winter gear.
A peek at this season's catalogue reveals you can get hold of an adults' waterproof ski jacket ($59.99), pants ($49.99) and gloves ($14.99), along with two-piece thermal underwear ($29.99), goggles ($14.99), and waterproof boots ($29.99) with change from $200.
Shop for similar gear at adventure stores such as Kathmandu and you would be lucky to get hold of much more than a ski jacket for that amount, with the full ensemble coming close to $750.
The Aldi catalogue includes more than 50 items to keep you feeling snug and, at those prices, maybe even a bit smug.
Renata Hay, textiles buying director for Aldi Australia, says this year's sale will be better than ever, with clever pockets for ski lift passes, more products made from Australian Merino wool, and a new range of colours.
"Australians have been in love with Aldi's Snow Gear sale since the very beginning, but that doesn't mean we're content with sitting still," she says.
"We are constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve the range. This involves working closely with our suppliers to research new trends and implement the latest technology in areas like waterproofing, seam taping, breathability, ventilation and more.
"Our objective is to offer Australians access to high quality ski and snowboarding gear that doesn't break the bank.
The sale is famous for attracting thousands of people to Aldi stores.
Comments on the supermarket's Facebook page likened it to "going to war", with shoppers ready to "fight the crowds" and secure a bargain. For some, it "sounds like a nightmare". Others plan to be "at the front door breathing on the glass" before opening time.
#aldisnowsale if the zombie apocalypse was to happen tomorrow. Im ready.
Do your research, read the catalogue, check out customer feedback and whether you want to tap into social media on the slopes with $9.99 touchscreen gloves, keep dry with waterproof alternatives ($15.99) or take the luxe road with premium goatskin for $34.99. Know which colours and sizes are available and be ruthless in the centre aisle.
The best deals are often snapped up early in the day, so there's little point trying to complete your winter wardrobe when tackling the family shop on Saturday arvo. Committed folks start queuing long before doors open at 8.30am. Check your local store times, get there early and bring a thermos.
Either take a family member or friend so you can split up and get everything you need, or share your list with someone heading to a different store to improve your chances.
Are you near an Aldi where snow sports are less popular? Or can you travel to a newly-opened store where locals may not be aware of the ski sale bargains?
While Aldi doesn't have an online store, check out eBay or Gumtree next week, where entrepreneurial types will be hoping to flip their purchases for a small profit.
I bought all my kids ski stuff from Aldi last year. Bought it all a size too big so they can get two years out of it, then we can hand down from one to the next. Most of the colours are gender neutral enough if you avoid all the pink.

Q: Given "PDO", what is the purpose of "mysqli_stmt"? I'm reading up on php db classes and everything i'm reading recommends "PDO". Cool. So what then is the purpose of "mysqli_stmt"? Is is deprecated?
Please advise.
sleeper.

A: There is more than one way to do things.  PDO is a database layer that allows you to use many different database types via various drivers.  mysqli_* is only for MySQL.
Both will get the job done when using a MySQL database.  I recommend PDO, but that is just my preference, as I like the flexability of possibly changing databases more easily in the future.

A: Mysqli is said to be the faster performance wise of the two, however the features of PDO far outweigh those of Mysqli in my opinion. I also prefer the flexibility of PDO when changing databases.

A: PDO is an abstraction layer, mysqli is an extension that interacts directly with the database.

I was a mature nursing student and had to work to supplement my bursary. Now 7years on - I love my job, but still have a 'second' job to pay the bills.
I am a first year student nurse and am a mature student with a young family. I currently have to work weekends as a HCSW but am still not earning enough to keep afloat. I feel that the bursary should definitely be increased as most of our time is spent on placement and we are worked very hard even though we are supposed to be supernumerary.
I can sympathise that the bursary for Student Nurses is simply not enough considering that when I was training my rent for 12 months of the year was £300 exclusive of bills and food to survive!! But like many of my friends who were also from the Republic of Ireland we didn't not receive any money what so ever from either Irish or UK government for the full 3 years of nurse training. This issue was often brought up by us within our university but was always ignored and no support shown.
Needless to say I completed my nurse training for the 3 years and passed all my assessments each time but that was a struggle considering I sometimes had my 37.5 hours at placement plus work all weekend as a support worker in order to make money to survive. For me luckily my parents were supportive and struggled each week to give me money too while having two other children in Uni!
And guess what I am still working for the NHS and I haven't returned to my own country like we were told we would all do after our training!
("Us ''untrained'' NA's/HCA's get paid more that students, because hey...were there full time!! Students don't have to do a 14hr shift with no break like we do every week.
So students don't do 14 hour shifts? Yes we do!
Students don't work full time? No, we work more! Full time on placements, then extra shifts to earn money, then study on top of it!
Secondments? Good luck trying to get one!
And the bursary is a joke! I would love to see you try and live on it. 'Us' students (grammatical error wholly and sarcastically intentional) are forced to live on it because we have a drive, a passion to nurse, and must endure this to do so.
You want respect as an HCA? Try respecting students a little first, it goes a long way.
Well I'm about to start nurse training, and while I'd love more money than the current system, I dont think we particularly deserve it. We already get more funding than other students (which considering pay after training I think is fair), and while it's not a lot, its a sacrifice that has to be made... just imagine if you'd chosen to study something else.
Hi All, I am, and have been for some time now (just not been able to pluck up the courage to apply), considering becoming a student nurse. I will be a mature student, single mum of two and from some of the comments above, I'm wondering if I would manage on the bursary. I would be giving up a well paid job, but looking for more rewards and long term job security.
Does anyone know how the bursary affects child tax/working tax credits?
I'm also undecided if I would be able to study full or part-time, what with child care after school for the kids etc. Would I get any extra financial help with this? How many hours a week would I be expected to work/study? I'm 35 and have been a bit of a plodder, but have managed to 'work my way up the ladder' so to speak, but really feel that if I don't do something about this soon I never will. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
I am a mature student, a single parent with teenage children and have recently started to study nursing at the degree level. I agree that the bursary is not fit for purpose, particularly for degree students. A bursary of £4000 per year is difficult enough to survive on, but it has been the loss of other help, such as housing and council tax benefit that has caused the greatest levels of additional hardship. It is fair to say that my family and I are now living well below the poverty line after all the bills have been paid, forcing the question as to whether it is a feasible option to continue with my studies for the next three years. I did research student finance prior to my application, and it all sounds good, in theory. It is a very different matter when applying for the help.


We love adding this 50s sweater collar to glam up plain sweater and dresses. Black satin with large faux pearls and rhinestones. Peter Pan style. Closes in the front with a snap-tab that is hidden underneath the neck of the sweater to which it is added.
CONDITION: Overall excellent. The collar shows very light, normal wear, but has no specific issues to note.


A few weeks ago "The Ladies" had two of their friends over. If you're counting, that's a total of SEVEN little girls!
We took them out for ice cream, went to the park, and finally wrapped up the day at our house.
We just love having a big family! It's not for everyone, but it sure is for us!
Here's to a truckload of ladies and a great wife/mommy to raise them with!

Published date 19th March 2022
In the previous session, the the Travellers had finished exploring the derelict starship around Goblin's Planet (The Beyond / 1335) and were ready to head down to the surface of the planet. There was one known settlement, about 20km south of the mountain that has a giant goblin face carved into it. The broadcasts telling them to stay away seemed to have come from the settlement, so it seemed like the sensible place to go.
The mountain, with the settlement to the south
It was around midnight on the world when they landed just under a kilometre to the east of the settlement. Zanobia, Khadashi and Trennance headed in towards the settlement in full battledress, fortunately able to make use of their zero-g harnesses because it started to drizzle and the ground was soft and muddy.
The settlement was surrounded by a wooden palisade which looked quite recent, and for some reason excluded a few of the southern most buildings.
Most of the buildings were wooden, but they had solar panels on the roof and showed up quite brightly under thermal imaging as if they were well heated (but not very well insulated). There was a pond in the middle, a small pig pen and some water purifiers or something next to the pond.
One of the internal buildings was stone, with a metal door, and had a communications array on the roof.
So the Travellers floated over the wall and landed at the stone building. Trying the door, it was unlocked and inside were some basic computers, one of which seemed to be running the transmission to tell people to stay away. An inspection of the room found evidence of some scuffle in the past, and none of the computers had any password protection so they were able to access some of the logs.
It had kept track of ship transponder signals, but there hadn't been many visitors. The most recent was the It's A Sex Thing, and before that a Stormhaven Republic registered vessel the Rainstorm which had arrived about 18 months ago. Prior to that was the Prowling the Outdoors – the abandoned ship in orbit.
There had been other ships earlier, but none of them were important to the plot so I glossed over them – just one every few years or so.
There was also something keeping a connection open to another system, but it had started failing from about 18 months ago, and was now unable to connect. There was no evidence on what type of system it was trying to connect to – just lots of error messages. There were various transmissions recorded on the system, as well as the one that the ship had received. All seemed to be by the same woman, over a period of about forty odd years according to the time stamps, but she didn't seem to have aged very much in that time.
Outside the stone building was a large display panel, but it was non-functional and looked like it hadn't worked for some time.
So the Travellers walked up to the largest house on the western side of the settlement and knocked on the door. There was the sound of movement from inside, a muttering of someone speaking in Galanglic but with an Aslan accent, and then an Aslan woman opened the door.
She was obviously pregnant, and very surprised to see a hulking robot-like thing outside the door. She quickly recovers and wakes everyone else in the house up. There were about eight people all sleeping in a single large room, a couple of Aslan and the rest human. Half were women – and three of them were pregnant.
The reaction of the people here was surprise and nervousness, but initially not aggressive. Three outsiders in hulking battledress were not anything they wanted to upset. They didn't like outsiders particularly, but that didn't mean they needed to be rude about it.
The eldest woman looked like the woman in the original recording, and she introduced herself as Nasshaa, the high priestess to Mother. The Aslan was Aouweitkh. Nasshaa invited them in for food and drink, but the Travellers turned down her offer.
They were told that it wasn't safe for them to be here, and that they should leave whilst they still could. Mother wouldn't like them being here. By this time the rest of the settlement had been woken up, and were starting to gather outside in the rain. Some had crude spears, but most were unarmed. Nobody seemed to be under the age of 30, but many of the women were pregnant. There were maybe 70-80 of them, about half human and half Aslan, and half male and half female.
It was then that there was some shouting from outside, and a woman came running towards them, yelling at them about Mother being dead, people being eaten and that they all needed rescuing. She was quickly subdued by the others and forced back into one of the houses. When Zanobia tried to interfere some of the men pointed spears at her – not that they would be able to do much against battledress.
Not wanting to start a massacre, the Travellers let things play out and left.
A quick examination of the exterior buildings showed signs of violence. Some old blood stains on the floors of the buildings, and it looked like some wild animal had broken down the doors and forced their way inside. There were a few graves outside as well.
The next flew west to the lake, where they had picked up some signs of wrecked spacecraft. They were sunken into the lake, and were in very bad state – it looked like something had grabbed them out of the sky and crushed and torn them into pieces. Trennance mentioned it looked a bit like the effects of gravity beam weapons which his people (the Darrians) had toyed with long ago.
It was approaching dawn by now, and Zanobia wanted to go back and try to 'rescue' Teeka, the woman who seemed to be worried about things. Khadashi wasn't too fond of the idea, but ultimately agreed.
There was a thick mist over the settlement by the time they got back to it. Using the chameleon coating on their battledress allowed them to glide in from above and remain obscured in the midst. There were now a number of guards out (all with makeshift spears), but none of them were looking up.
Teeka was spotted down by the pond, with guards standing either side of them. Zanobia dropped in behind her, grabbed her from behind and flew upwards – not as quickly as she would like, but quick enough that the guards couldn't stop her. Teeka screamed out loud and went into full panic, which lasted until they got her back to their ship.
Once she had calmed down, she was able to tell them a bit more about things. She had arrived on a ship which has mis-jumped many years ago. She and some of the crew had stayed, the rest had tried to leave but had been destroyed. The others in the settlement had all arrived over the years, she wasn't sure when the first settlers had came here.
The last ship to arrive had been in battledress like the crew, they had gone to the mountain to try and find Mother, but had never returned. After that though, things had started going wrong. They had previously felt the thoughts of Mother, which had been good thoughts and kept them content. But those thoughts had become erratic over the last year, and now Mother was never heard. They had started getting feelings which they hadn't had for decades. A desire for more food and for sex. There had been disagreements.
Then the monsters had come – six limbed beasts with sharp claws and big teeth who had taken many of their cattle and several of their people. So they'd put up the palisade and tried to make weapons. The last ship she said had been cursed, and it was now over by the mountain beneath the goblin's head.
Zanobia ran some medical tests, discovering some oddness in her blood and cells. Something maybe similar to anti-agathics, but also something similar to proteins which allow Aslan to eat human food. There were also other things there which Zanobia couldn't identify. She was pregnant, like many of the others, but that seemed as normal as it could be.
The players decide that taking off and trying to leave might not be a good idea, at least until they've tried to figure out what has happened here. Possibly the Stormhaven crew from the Rainstorm have broken things. Possibly the strange beasts are warrior Droyne in battledress (though the teeth and claws maybe don't match that). Maybe it is safe to leave because the defence systems have been disabled. But assumption causes a lot of problems, so next session they plan to head to the mountain and try to see what they can find.
In the meantime they might but Teeka into cold sleep to keep her (and them) safe.

function Get-DbaServerInstallDate {
    <#
.SYNOPSIS
Returns the install date of a SQL Instance and Windows Server, depending on what is passed.

.DESCRIPTION
By default, this command returns for each SQL Instance instance passed in:
SQL Instance install date, formatted as a string
Hosting Windows server install date, formatted as a string

.PARAMETER SqlInstance
The SQL Server that you're connecting to.

.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user

.PARAMETER Credential
Credential object used to connect to the SQL Server as a different user

.PARAMETER IncludeWindows
Includes the Windows Server Install date information

.PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

NBA teams are getting a bit less selective when it comes to honoring former players, it seems.
Austin Rivers played for the Clippers from 2015-18, up until he was traded to the Wizards over the summer.
And while Rivers was a solid role player for the Clippers, he was never really anything more than that. His best season, production-wise, came last year, when he averaged 15.1 points per game, and four assists.
That's why it was a bit surprising when the Clippers played a tribute video during a stoppage of play in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Wizards. It was Rivers' first return to Staples Center, so the team showed some love for him with a tribute video.
Tribute videos are all the rage these days.

Delhi' Jasmeet Singh Sandhu made the national capital proud on Tuesday when he secured the third position in the civil services examination of 2015.

Hindustan Times | ByKabir Upmanyu, New Delhi
The 28- year-old Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer is already working as assistant commissioner. Unlike rank 1-holder Tina Dabi, Sandhu got lucky in his fourth attempt.
A resident of Rabinder Nagar, Delhi, Jasmeet's father, JS Sandhu is an officer in the agriculture ministry, and his mother, Surinder Sandhu is a housewife. He completed his schooling from Sacred Heart Convent School, Ludhiana.
His younger brother, Tejhbir Sandhu has also been preparing for civil services examinations.
Ecstatic with the result, Jasmeet's mother Surinder Sandhu, attributed his success to his consistent hardwork.
"Sandhu only took coaching for a month. He prepared for the exam on his own," said the proud mother.
An engineering graduate from IIT-Roorkee, Jasmeet started his preparations for civil services in 2010. "But he was not able to clear it on his first two attempts, and got into the IRS on his third attempt," younger brother Tejhbir Sandhu said, adding that IAS was always Jasmeet's first option.
Meanwhile, in the ninth position is Karn Satyarthi, a small town boy from Jharkhand's Dhanbad. A graduate in mining engineering from IIT Kharagpur, he wants to work towards eliminating gender and caste discrimination in the country.
"India can progress only with eradication of gender and caste discrimination," said the 25-year-old who studied on his own and cleared the exam in his second attempt.
Tens of thousands of students across the country prepare for years for the UPSC exams for prestigious government positions. Candidates get into the administrative services, the foreign and police services, apart from other central services.
