Looking early on the 2016 Ryder Cup

For those who aren't really into golf but you are into sports, the Ryder Cup Golf Tournament is one of the most exciting sports tournaments ever. Each year several players from the PGA tour get picked to be on a team for the United States and the European roster. This year's golf field is filled with a lot of veteran and up and coming players. Of course one of the best players that's been on the United States is Tiger Woods. However, he really hasn't gotten his great golf game back yet. One of the key reasons is because of the problem with his back. Woods is planning to make a comeback as he hopes to play on October 13-16 Safeway Open. Woods also said that he plans to play at the Turkish Airlines Open in Antayla during November and the December's Hero World Challenge in the Bahammas. It's going to be hard for Tiger to play well again due to a bad back but if he wants to come back, it sounds like his back has been just about healed.

The Ryder Cup is an event where its usually 2 players from each the United States team and 2 players from the European team square off. There are multiple groups that go out on the course at once and then there's others that go at different times. This year's Ryder Cup will be played from September 27th to October 2nd at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska Minnesota which is right outside of Minneapolis. Currently on USAs roster, there's a total of 13 golfers on the team. The golfers currently right now on USAs roster are first the captain Davis Love 3, along with the players like Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Brandt Snedeker, Jordan Speith, Jimmy Walker. There are still 4 still open spots for the USA squad. The canidates for the 4 open picks for the USA are Rickie Fowler, JB Holmes, Matt Kuchar, Bill Haas, Bubba Watson, Will McGirt, and Scott Piercy. From Team Europe, the captain field is Darren Clarke, Thomas Bjorn( Vice-Captain), Ian Poulter( Vice-Captain), Sam Torrance( Vice-Captain),Martin Kaymer, Thomas Pieters, Paul Lawrie( Vice-Captain), Lee Westwood. There other players like Rafa Cabrera Bello, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Sergio Garcia, Rory Mcilory, Justin Rose, Chris Wood, Andy Sullivan, and Danny Willett.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
