The collision of 2 automobiles is a scary event, regardless of how fast the vehicles were traveling or how little damage has occurred. Immediately following an car accident, you are likely to experience elevated blood pressure and an overall sense of panic. But once the chaos clears, injuries have been assessed, and everyone involved has been safely moved out of the way, it is time to think about what important tidbits your auto insurance company is going to need from you in order to file a claim.
If you are ever involved in an auto accident, remember these 4 steps to make the claims process run smoother.
Don't Forget to Take Notes
While the other driver is distracted with their own insurance concerns and locating their registration or insurance card, take the time to jot down some quick notes while the memory of the accident is still fresh in your mind. Take a deep breath before you begin, and then write things down exactly as you remember.
It may also be helpful to draw a diagram or pictures that you can refer back to later, in case you forget any details or need to dispute someone else's comment about the car accident. Writing down notes immediately following the collision will prevent you from doubting yourself later, or forgetting what happened. Other important information to write down includes the name of the street where the accident occurred, including a nearby street number and cross-street if there is one nearby. Also write down the direction each driver was traveling, and any information from other witnesses as you can.
Take Photos
Take photos of the involved vehicles and the area in which the accident occurred, using your cell phone if necessary. Include the damage to the vehicles, or lack-there-of. As long as it is reasonably safe to do so, try snapping photos of each car at an angle from the wheels, so that one side of the car and either the front or rear is fully visible in the photo. Include close-up photos of any damage, as well as photos of the license plates. All of this will be helpful to your auto insurance company.
Swap Information
Immediately following the accident, request the other driver's personal information, including their name and address, phone number, the name of their insurance company, and more. Don't trust their word on this matter; ask to see their driver's license, insurance, and registration card, and copy the information down directly for yourself to avoid being swindled. Take the time to compare any possible discrepancies.
Report the Accident to Your Auto Insurance Company
No matter how little damage appears to have occurred, always report a car accident to your auto insurance company. Some damages appear minimal at first glance, only to be discovered much worse upon official examination. Even in cases of small damage, claims should be filed because repair costs for something as simple as bumper damage will often exceed a low deductible. Additionally, some minor exterior damages can actually mean more significant and expensive underlying issues since cars are designed to bend and flex during accidents in order to absorb the impact and maximally protect its occupants.

WALNUT CREEK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/08/16 --
ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARC), the nation's leading document solutions provider for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes the company to purchase up to $15 million of the company's outstanding common stock through December 31, 2017.
"The share repurchase program reflects management's confidence in the business and the future of our new offerings," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "The current disconnect between ARC's share price and its fundamental value has created an excellent opportunity to create significant long-term benefits for the company and its shareholders by buying back our common stock. The strength of our cash flows will allow us not only to repurchase shares in the coming quarters, but also to continue to invest in the long-term growth of our business."
In connection with the share repurchase program, ARC Document Solutions amended its senior secured credit agreement in order to provide additional flexibility to repurchase shares.
Under the new repurchase program, purchases of shares of common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The share buyback program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
The company expects that the repurchase program will be funded by cash flows generated from its operations. At the end of 2015, the Company had approximately 47 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
About ARC Document Solutions (NYSE: ARC)

We have a new site that's in beta now, the Web applications proposal. I've been committed to it (for a while), but I didn't receive an email with info that is was created. I only found out by posts here on meta, and the Area 51 site. I was able to create an account and everything just fine though.
I don't know if I'm the only one or if others didn't receive the mail notification.
Note: I did receive other emails from Area 51.
I received the mail this night. I'm not sure how delayed it was, about one day I think. Reminds me of snail mail, but at least it works.

(CBS) The MLB First-Year Player Draft got going Thursday, and the big news around here was that the White Sox selected N.C. State left-hander Carlos Rodon at No. 3 overall while the Cubs took Indiana catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber one pick later.
The draft continues today with rounds 3-10 before concluding Saturday. Here's a list of players the White Sox and Cubs have drafted thus far.
White Sox
Round 1, No. 3 overall: LHP Carlos Rodon, N.C. State
— Click here for more on Rodon. And below is a scouting video on Rodon.
[mlbvideo id="31219171″ width="300″ height="168″ /]
Round 2, No. 44: RHP Spencer Adams, White County High (Ga.)
— Here's a scouting video on Adams, whose fastball tops out at 95 and usually sits in the low-90s. His slider is his best off-speed pitch, according to MLB.com's scouting report.
[mlbvideo id="32371893″ width="300″ height="168″ /]
Round 3, No. 77: LHP Jace Fry, Oregon State
— Fry has a fastball that reaches the low 90s, and scouting reports indicate he relies on deception a great deal. His fastball also has good sink on it, according to MLB.com's scouting report, and he throws a curveball and change-up as well. He had Tommy John surgery in 2012 but recovered nicely.
Round 4, No. 108: C Brett Austin, N.C. State
Round 5, No. 138: RHP Zach Thompson, Texas-Arlington
— After three years of college, Thompson's fastball now sits in the low-to-mid-90s. His off-speed pitches all need work if he's to advance through the system, according to reports, but his 6-foot-7, 210-pound size is intriguing for the White Sox.
Round 6, No. 168 overall: OF Louie Lechich, San Diego
Round 7, No. 198: SS Jake Peter, Creighton
— Peter pitched and played the field at Creighton, and the White Sox will have to choose one path for him down the line. He throws in the 92-to-94 mph range, per MLB.com. Some believe he projects as more as a second baseman if he stays in the middle infield.
Round 8, No. 228: SS John Ziznewski, Long Island University
Round 9, No. 258: LHP Brian Clark, Kent State
Round 1, No. 4 overall: C/OF Kyle Schwarber, Indiana
— Click here for more on Schwarber and why the Cubs were so wowed by him.
Round 2, No. 45: RHP Jake Stinnett, Maryland
— Stinnett was a four-year college player whose fastball reaches the mid-90s. Check out video on him below. His slider is his second-best pitch.
[mlbvideo id="32334675″ width="300″ height="168″ /]
Round 3, No. 78: C Mark Zagunis, Virginia Tech
— Zagunis is expected to stay long term at catcher, where he has good athleticism and an accurate arm with average strength, according to MLB.com's scouting report. Zagunis didn't display much power in 2014 as a hitter.
Round 4, No. 109: LHP Carson Sands, North Florida Christian High (Fla.)
— Sands consistently throws in the low-90s and has a quality 12-to-6 curveball, according to scouting reports. He has committed to Florida State.
Round 5, No. 139: LHP Justin Steele, George County High (Miss.)
— Steele's velocity was inconsistent in the last year, but he's settled in the 88-to-92 mph range now, MLB.com reports. Because of his lack of command, the bullpen is likely in his future, evaluators have surmised.
Round 6, No. 169: RHP Dylan Cease, Milton High (Ga.)
— Cease was one of the hardest-throwing high school pitchers in the draft, topping out at 97 mph, according to MLB.com, but he hasn't pitched since March due to an elbow injury. His other pitches need refined, scouts say. Cease has committed to Vanderbilt.
Round 7, No. 199: RHP James Norwood, St. Louis University
— After three years at St. Louis, Norwood's fastball has topped out at 98 mph, but he usually stays in the 91-to-95 mph range. He needs to develop a secondary pitch, though, as he has little to keep hitters from sitting on his fastball, according to MLB.com's scouting report.
Round 8, No. 229: LHP Tommy Thorpe, Oregon
Round 9, No. 259: RHP James Farris, Arizona

Your router is the megabrain of all Internet activity in your house. Whether you want your devices communicating with each other across your local network or with the wider Internet, you want your router to be fully functioning when going about your daily life.
Here we're going to show you how to troubleshoot your router and indeed find out whether your router is to blame for your problems.
The Obvious Stuff
Before getting into the nitty-gritty, there are a few basic troubleshooting tips you should check and try:
- Switch off your router, and switch it back on again. (Yes, you probably already figured that one out, but maybe not everyone is as smart as you).
- Go on the broadband status webpage for your internet service provider to see if there are known problems in your area.
- Test the Internet connection with another device. If just one device isn't connecting, then the problem lies there, not with the router.
- If you can't connect over Wi-Fi, plug a device into the router using an ethernet cable and see if you can connect to the Internet that way. Ideally try this with a couple of devices. Then you'll know for sure if the issue lies with the Wi-Fi connectivity of the router or that individual device.
- Make sure the cable between the router and modem is firmly attached. These cables often involve a nut-and-bolt mechanism at each end, and these can loosen over time.
Change Router Wi-Fi Channel
If the home Wi-Fi beaming from your router has slowed to a crawl or has outright stopped working, then it's possible that the Wi-Fi channel you're on is busy with traffic from other Wi-Fi users in your local area.
You can manually change your Wi-Fi channel through your router's settings. To get to your router's settings, you'll need the "Default Gateway" IP, which is the router's address on your network. This is usually 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.254 or similar and needs to be entered into your browser. Here's how to find your router's IP address in Windows 10.
You'll then be prompted for your router username and login, which varies by IP provider and may be written on the router itself.
Once you're in your router's Wi-Fi channel settings, how do you know which channel to pick? There's quite a lot to it, so read our guide on how to find the best Wi-Fi channel for your network.
Reset Your Router
The more radical step up from simply restarting or rebooting your router is to reset it, which will restore it entirely to the default settings along with the SSID and password.
There are usually two ways to do this: one is via a physical button on the router itself (it might be one that requires a pin to press), and the other is through your router's settings page which we've described how to access in the previous heading.
Upgrade Router Firmware
Another solution you can find right there in your router's settings is a firmware upgrade. This can also be found through your router's settings and will obviously require that your router is connected to the Internet to work (so it can solve router-to-device connection issues, but not Internet-to-router issues).
The above are some of the main ways to troubleshoot a misbehaving router. If the above fail, then consider contacting your ISP for a connection reset at their end. Beyond that, it may be worth looking at a new router (ideally provided free by your ISP!).
One comment
One problem with this article is that it is no help if something is wrong with the router. What is wong? How to fix it? When to give up and buy an new router?

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Extent of Deposit Insurance For Deposits of the State of Texas 457 Plan
October 20, 1989
Roger A. Hood, Assistant General Counsel
I have been asked by *** of NCNB Texas National Bank, Dallas, Texas ("NCNB Texas") to provide you with a letter stating the extent of deposit insurance which would be afforded deposits of the State of Texas' deferred compensation plan ("the 457 plan").
I understand that the deposits in question originally were maintained by the 457 plan in University Federal Savings Association, Houston, Texas ("University") and were assumed by NCNB Texas in a recent transaction arranged by Resolution Trust Corporation. University was an institution, the deposits of which were insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation prior to the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, P.L. 101-73 ("FIRREA").
Prior to the enactment of FIRREA, the 457 plan deposits in University were insured by the FSLIC with respect to the separate interests of the employees whose compensation was being deferred under the plan. 12 C.F.R. § § 561.4(b), 564.10. Upon the enactment of FIRREA the deposits in University became insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund, administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The insurance of such deposits is to be determined in accordance with regulations and interpretations of the FSLIC which were in effect on the date of enactment of FIRREA (August 9, 1989) until the FDIC adopts uniform regulations governing insurance coverage applicable to all insured depository institutions.
These deposits have been assumed by NCNB Texas and are no longer obligations of University; however, they will continue to be insured to the same extent as they were in University until the earliest maturity date after the six-month period following the transaction whereby they were assumed by NCNB Texas. Section 8(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1818 (q)) provides that whenever the liabilities of an insured depository institution for deposits are assumed by another insured depository institution, whether by merger or by contract, the separate insurance of all deposits so assumed shall terminate, in the case of any time deposit, at the earliest maturity date after the six-month period following the date the assumption takes place. We interpret that provision to mean that the coverage of the deposits of University assumed by NCNB Texas will be insured to the same extent and in the same manner as they would have been insured as deposits of University until their first maturity following the six-month period following the consummation of the purchase and assumption transaction. As stated above, those deposits were insured in University on the basis of the amounts attributed to the individual employees up to the maximum amount of $100,000 per employee. That coverage continues in effect as indicated above.
I hope this adequately explains the present coverage provided to these 457 deposits. If you have further questions, please call me at (202) 898-3681.

It was announced by the Syrian state-run news agency. And confirmed by "Palestinian officials."
A'jad will meet with Bashar Assad, the object of President Obama's courtship.
The man whom Hillary last week basically called the military dictator of Iran will also confer with top guns from Hezbollah and Hamas. I'm sure that their topic will be the road to peace.

The Perks of being a Wallflower. For ESL English Language Learners. What is most notable about this funny, touching, memorable novel is the resounding accuracy with which the author captures the voice of a boy on the brink of adulthood.
Charlie is a freshman. And while's he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. He's a wallflower--shy and introspective, and intelligent. We learn about Charlie through the letters he writes. Charlie encounters the same struggles that many kids face in high school--how to make friends, the intensity of a crush, family tensions, a first relationship, exploring sexuality, experimenting with drugs--but he must also deal with his best friend's recent suicide.

There are many life-lessons in this story. Describe one. Suggested Response: The lessons of the story include: (1) standing on the fringes of life leads nowhere; if you want something, go for it; if you don't you'll never get it; if you try, you will often succeed; (2) acceptance by others and acceptance of others is important to everyone; as the author/director said in the commentary "When we accept each other, we save each other every day"; (3) people accept the love they think they deserve; (4) at the end of the day it's your family and your friends who get you through life.

Perks of being a wallflower. Bild1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. In 1999, MTV premiered Making the Video and The Tom Green Show, their hit reality show The Real World went to Hawaii, and they got a lot of airplay out of that Prince song.
You know the one. Oh, and on top of all that, they published The Perks of Being a Wallflower. This novel by Stephen Chbosky features the three sensational things that make The Real World (and MTV as a whole) so successful: sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Although, now that we think about it, it might be more Rocky Horror Picture Show than rock 'n' roll—but there's enough music in Perks to keep you humming for hours. The novel follows a fifteen-year-old introverted boy named Charlie through his freshman year of high school. Written as a series of letters from Charlie to an anonymous recipient, it almost feels like you're reading Charlie's private diary—scandalous, we know. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a coming-of-age epistolary novel by American writer Stephen Chbosky which was first published on February 1, 1999 by Pocket Books.
Its narrator is an introverted teenager known as Charlie, who describes his experiences in a series of letters to an anonymous stranger. Set in the early 1990s, the novel follows Charlie through his freshman year of high school in a Pittsburgh suburb. Intelligent beyond his years, he is an unconventional thinker; as the story begins, the reader learns that Charlie is also shy and unpopular. Chbosky took five years to develop and publish The Perks of Being a Wallflower, creating the characters and other aspects of the story from his own memories. The novel addresses themes permeating adolescence, including introversion, sexuality, and drug use. Plot[edit] The story begins with a quiet, sensitive, 15-year-old boy named Charlie writing letters about his life to an unknown recipient.

Representatives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service came to Corvallis, Ore., last week to hear how people felt about the possibility of deregulating Roundup Ready sugarbeets.
APHIS originally deregulated the genetically engineered sugarbeets in 2005, but the Center for Food Safety and other GM opponents challenged the decision on court. A judge has ordered APHIS to revisit the issue and to prepare an environmental impact statement. Last week's meeting was an effort by APHIS to gain a greater perspective of the issue.
Both conventional and organic growers showed up the meeting and shared their opposing views with APHIS representatives. Conventional growers say they've already experienced multiple benefits from planting the GM sugarbeet, including higher yields, fewer weed problems and reduced chemical applications.
"If we were to lose this technology, it would increase our operating costs and make us less competitive in a global market where many countries are heavily subsidized, Paul Stiever, a third-generation Montana farmer, said at the meeting, as reported by the Gazette Times.
Pro-organic growers stated they were concerned about the threat of gene drift and the possibility of more GM crops being grown in the area, which further increases the risk of contamination of organic crops.
The Gazette Times reported, "several growers testified they have already found Roundup Ready beets growing in fields that were supposed to have been cleared of all volunteers, and one brought in a sample and waved it around for all to see.
APHIS is still taking comments on the draft environmental impact statement online through Dec. 13. To make a comment, go to http://www.aphis.usda.gov/biotechnology/sugarbeet.shtml.

The putting game is often neglected by some beginning golfers, who prefer to spend their time on the range with the more eye-pleasing elements of the game, such as the driver. No club in the bag is used on more strokes than the putter, however, and working on your putting form until you are comfortable with the club from all distances can prove vital on the course. The key to mastering the putter is practicing proper form on the putting green, until your stroke is second nature.
Grip the putter lightly with your standard hand positioning. You do not need as tight of a grip as with other shots, as the stroke will be much shorter and the more relaxed you are the less likely you are to twitch and strike the ball off line.
Stand so that the ball is centered between your shoulders, with your rear foot slightly farther back than your lead foot is forward, placing the ball just forward of center between your feet.
Stand a distance from the ball so that, with the club hanging with a comfortable arm position, the sweet spot of the putter is located behind the center of the ball. Most modern putters mark the speed spot on the top of the putter for easy alignment.
Swing the putter back then forward through the ball by moving your arms and turning your shoulders slightly. Unlike with other clubs, where the entire trunk and hips are turned as well, only the upper triangle of your arms and shoulders is needed to propel the ball.
Keep a consistent tempo for all putts. To putt the ball farther or shorter, the stroke is lengthened or shortened respectively, causing the putter to cover more or less distance in the same time, and allowing you to control the pace of the putter when it hits the ball.
Practice your distance control on a putting green by attempting to putt the ball various distances while not aiming at a hole, instead simply aiming to putt along a line a set distance away. Proper distance control ensures that with a proper read, you will make the putt, and with an improper read, you will keep the ball close for your second putt.
Practice making short putts, from 3 feet and closer, by arranging a set of three to five balls around the hole on all sides, then putting each ball, with the goal being to not miss any of the putts. Many players over think short putts, and struggle on the course, however a player who has worked on distance control must practice the "gimme" putts, to ensure he saves a two putt when the distance control put him in position to do so.

Interview: Title Fight
The guys spoke to ATP about playing overseas for the first time, being a band from the age of twelve, signing with Run For Cover Records, touring with New Found Glory and Four Year Strong, plans on releasing a full-length album and more.
Alter The Press: How has your first trip overseas been, so far?
Jamie Rhodan (guitar/vocals): It's been fun. Lots of people have been coming out to the shows, good reactions, met good people. Basement is a good band from the UK, check them out. We've been getting good reactions first time round. It's great.
Ned Russin (bass/vocals): We were unsure how it'd go over, as it's our first time over here, and Shook Ones and Polar Bear Club have been over here a couple of times. The response has been awesome, the kids are stoked we're over here, it's going well, we're having fun. It's awesome.
ATP: What were your expectations about coming over to Europe?
Ned: We just got off tour with Four Year Strong in the US, and that was possibly the best tour we've done so far, it was crazy. There were 500 kids at each show, going crazy and stuff so, going from that, to a brand new territory, where we've never been, don't know anybody; it's is very intimidating. I was just hoping that there were kids there; I didn't care. If there were kids there, who were willing to check us out, that's all I was hoping for, and we got that. It definitely met my expectations.
ATP: How did you guys get together?
Ned: Jamie and I met from school. Ben (Russin - drums) is my twin brother, so I've known him my whole life, and then we met Shane (Moran - guitar) through school too, and just had a similar taste in music. We actually started out as a three piece, just Jamie, Ben and myself and then, in 2005, we added Shane on guitar because we finally found use for another guitar player, pretty much been playing ever since.
ATP: You've been a band for almost seven years now. How does it feel to be able to play to bigger crowds, and now, play shows overseas?
Jamie: It definitely feels like we're doing some right. Me and Ned started this band in sixth grade and used to practice over the phone, have our guitars play through the phone. Coming from that, to playing shows overseas, is pretty rewarding.
ATP: You started Title Fight when you were twelve years old, are you still playing the same songs from then?
Jamie: Those songs don't actually sound like the new ones do, we just chill on them. They are cool to throw in randomly, like we did in New York recently; that was pretty sweet.
Ned: For the most part, we are playing stuff from the new 7" and the Kingston 7", and maybe two or three songs off the split we did (with The Erection Kids in 2007.) It's fun to play older songs sometimes. We kind of stopped playing them for about four/five years because we got kind of bored of them but, when we play at home, we'll play some older stuff. Also, at the same time, we did write that stuff when we were twelve. I doubt a lot of people even know it, so I'd rather not play it.
ATP: What were your influences when starting the band?
Ned: When we first started out, we were like a Blink-182 rip off band, and that's what we wanted to be. We were a three piece like them because we wanted to be like Blink-182. Over time, things kind of progressed. We had all these new influences and we progressed from a simple pop-punk band, to where we are now.
ATP: You've recently toured with Four Year Strong and with New Found Glory last year. How did you hook up with those guys?
Ned: New Found Glory knew about us through Scott Vogel, of Terror, a mutual friend of ours and Chad (Gilbert, New Found Glory.) He was trying to hook us up with anything. Scott called us and said, "Hey, New Found decided they wanted to do a tour before the Dashboard Confessional tour, as a small intimate thing, and it's going to be for two weeks, do you want to do it?" We said we could do a week because we were all in college at the time, and couldn't miss much of that because we'd probably get in trouble. After, I started talking to Chad, and told him we could probably do a week of it, but Chad said we have to do all or nothing. That's when it came to a point where we we're thinking, 'we could go to school at anytime,' and decided to do the New Found tour, which definitely put us in a good spot.
Four Year Strong actually happened because we played the last show of the 'Gig Life' Tour with Four Year Strong, Set Your Goals and Fireworks. They told us they were going out in January and if we wanted to hop on that tour. This was actually at the same time we were trying to figure out if we could balance school and the band. When we decided, we hit them up and said we'd love to do that tour still.
ATP: You have released two EP's so far, any plans for a full-length?
Jamie: We're writing it now, and have all of April off from shows, so we are going to try and write as much as we can. We also have a few weeks off in March too, but it's not set in stone. Hopefully, we can be done with it in the summer, and record it then as well.
Ned: We'd like to have it out this year, if possible. We are trying to figure that out right now. Already, we have some rough demos that we did in a basement, with a voice recorder and a phone in the middle of the room, but, hopefully, we're going to have it all figured out when home in April.
ATP: Your latest release, 'The Last Thing You Forget', was released on Run For Cover. How did you end up signing with them?
Ned: We played with Fireworks at our local show in Kingston and gave them our split. They loved it and asked us to hit them up. We made friends with those guys afterwards. Things then kind of fell apart with our record label, Flightplan, that put out the 'Kingston' 7." Right after that, Jeff hit us up and said they'd be interested in putting out our next record, and if we'd be interested. We were just down, he is a really cool guy, the line-up on that label is awesome and we love being on it.
ATP: When are you coming back to the UK?
Ned: We have no idea when because we're booked until the summer. After the week we go home, we have South By South West, Blood Festival in Richmond, most of April off to write, then going on tour with Set Your Goals and Comeback Kid; then the summer is open for us to record. If everything works out with our record in a timely fashion, we'll be back by the end of 2010.
ATP: Anything you would like to add?
Ned: Thanks for Europe for letting us in. We smuggled a lot of merch; it's cool.
Jamie: Listen to Trainwrecker and Tigers Jaw.
'The Last Thing You Forget' is out now on Run For Cover Records.

The origins of golf can be traced back to ancient Rome. Ancient roman drawings portray humans using sticks to move stone like pebbles. Also, the first documentation of gold comes from the Netherlands (year 1297) – it turns out that it was the Dutch who started a game called "spelen met kolven" or stick game. The word "kolv" meant a stick or club. The players used wooden clubs and wooden balls.
The Dutch were great sailors , thus it is not surprising at all that they took the "stick game" with them to distant lands.
In mid 15th century Scotland golfs modern version began. The Scots did not just pointlessly hit the ball around a field, they were the ones who decided to dig holes where to sink the ball. From then on the popularity of the game grew up until 1457 when The King of Scotland with agreement of the Parliament forbade the game. This was due to a perception that the game weakened the abilities of the army – the soldiers were spending much less time at shooting practice and much more time playing golf and soccer.
During the 16th century the game of golf was only played by the higher society, the chosen ones. Although, shepherds in farmlands did not deprive themselves of golf – walking sticks were turned into clubs but as a substitute for the ball they used sheep and rabbit droppings... Historical evidence demonstrates that during that time the game was called "gowf" although from the 17th century the first evidence is found that describes the aristocrat fascination with the game of "Colf"
The first golf club was established in Scotland, in Edinburgh vicinity year 1744. Significantly, it was exactly one year after the Scottish started using a new vegetable in their diet... the potato.
Ten years later, the Saint Andrews golfer society was founded, which today is known as the "Royal and Ancient Golf Club." It is the club that is considered the birthplace of golf and still today the rules and of golf are issued and approved right in St. Andrews.
According to reports, at the end of the thirties the Riga Tennis Club had set up a section for golf – mainly in the interest of foreign diplomats. There had even been a spot set out for a golf course next to the river Daugava, in Kengarags. However, due to insufficient knowledge of construction of golf courses the first 6 holes were opened only in the summer of 1940. Needless to say, the Latvian SSR government did not appreciate the gentlemen's game – it was even condemned.
The interest in golf returned in March 29th, 1989 when 9 individuals founded the Latvian Golf Federation. 27th of April 1993 LGF was officially registered as a public body, yet it was only in 1995 when it was actually recognized as the Latvian golf representative.
In the mid-nineties golf activity was very much influenced by the Latvian Vilnis Baltiņš Jr.Who organized a golf tour to Nitvaljes golf course in Estonia, also founded the Riga Golf School and held training sessions.
The first real golf course in Latvia was "Viesturi", in the area of Mārupe in 1998. In year 2000 the "Master" in Plakanciems was introduced. And, of course, OZO golf in 2002 that has lead golf to the level that is now at.

We need much more than another way to meet people. We need to learn how to create the loving and richly rewarding relationships we all want. In the book Real Love® in Dating, you'll learn:

Into Africa
Far away, so close: Though she writes about the interactions between Africans and Westerners, these days author Eileen Drew makes her home in the hills above Sebastapol.
Photo by Steven Underhill
Eileen Drew spins her Peace Corps experience into fiction
By Zack Stentz
PEOPLE SURE SEEM to love pigment-deprived reptiles. White gator Antoine Le Blanc packed 'em in at San Francisco's Academy of Science exhibit. Kevin Spacey's Albino Alligator is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the fall season. And now Sebastopol author Eileen Drew's new novel, Ivory Crocodile (Minneapolis: Coffee House Press, 1966; $21.95), is wowing readers across the nation, getting a heavy promotional push from mega-chain Barnes & Noble, and prompting book critics to muse on the mythological significance of the title.
"In the African legend of the ivory crocodile," wrote the critic for Kinesis in a glowing review, "the white crocodile is prized for its skin color, but is in fact the deadliest reptile of all."
Oooh, scary. Only one problem. According to Drew, there is no African legend of an ivory crocodile. "I don't know where the writer got that from," Drew says bemusedly. "There's no such legend that I've heard of, and it's not anywhere in the book."
In an inadvertent way, though, the reviewer did strike an important chord of Drew's novel. Like her acclaimed 1989 collection of short stories Blue Taxis, Ivory Crocodile takes as its theme the messy, awkward interactions between Westerners and locals in the various nations of west Africa. In writing these tales, Drew was able to draw on her own background as the child of an American diplomat in Nigeria, Guinea, and Ghana, then later as a Peace Corps worker in Zaïre.
So was Drew consciously hunting and gathering fiction material even while living in Africa? "I suppose I did," she replies. "I kept a journal while I was in Zaïre, so while I wasn't able to write fiction while I was there, I did go back and use material from my journals when writing stories."
Indeed, astute readers will recognize more than a touch of the real-life Zaïre (run for the past 31 years as a virtual kleptocracy by the brutal President Mobutu) in Ivory Crocodile's fictional setting of Tambala, complete with its corrupt, CIA-backed president and intrigue-filled frontier with Marxist Angola. Drew explains that setting the story in a fictional nation was a boon from a creative standpoint. "It wasn't that I was trying to hide it, but fictionalizing things gave me a lot of creative freedom," she says. "I didn't have to get every custom of every tribe right, and I could use the building of a bridge into Angola as a plot point, when in fact, that never happened."
Aside from the challenge of fictionalizing a very real setting, Drew also wrote with the full knowledge of those literary titans who had trod the ground before her. Anyone dipping their toe into the Westerner-in-the-Third-World genre is bound to be compared to the likes of Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad, both daunting acts to follow. "They're my favorite writers--Conrad, especially," says Drew. "But they weren't intimidating, because they were writing about a different world than I was--the world of colonialism."
And speaking of pith-helmeted European empire-builders, it seemed inevitable that despite their obvious differences, book reviewers would seek to link Drew to the grande dame of faded imperial glory herself, Isak Dinesen. "She's another writer I love," Drew says charitably, "although she's a real colonialist, and that paternalist attitude comes out in her writing. Again, she wrote about a very different Africa than the one I did."
Not that the critics seemed to care. After all, Dinesen was a white woman like Drew, writing about Africa. What are 50 years and 2,000 miles' difference--particularly in light of memories of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford prancing through the veldt in that extended Ralph Lauren commercial Out of Africa--when readers might actually recognize Dinesen's name? "There are other writers who are closer to me," acknowledges Drew, "but she's a bigger name, so it's easier for a critic to pull her out of a hat."
Much closer to Drew's own work is Anglo-Indian (by way of Trinidad) author V. S. Naipaul, who cast a rather jaded eye upon idealistic Westerners blundering about through developing countries in such novels as Guerrillas. "Naipaul also wrote about Zaïre in A Bend in the River," Drew says, "and that was a bit intimidating, because he wrote about a Zaïre that's much closer to my own."
But whatever the intimidation factor, Drew says she does take her literary predecessors into account while writing about her own, decidedly post-colonialist Africa: "I think about them a lot, and how their Westerners approached the situations they were in."
The situations in Ivory Crocodile tend to revolve around power and cultural difference, especially the contrast in women's roles between the America of Drew's narrator and the tribal culture she finds herself in. Refreshingly absent are the usual nature documentary clichés of lions, cheetahs, and zebras that figure so prominently in most Western views of Africa. "I didn't go to Africa for the wildlife," Drew says. "I went for the people. Their lives and culture are what I find interesting and wanted to write about."
Sitting in her comfy writing room on a typically chilly west Sonoma County morning, this particular Westerner couldn't be farther from the humid forests and wide alluvial plains that inspired her earlier work. And for now, Drew is content to leave Africa behind as she looks closer to home for inspiration in writing her next book of stories. "I'm less interested in African material than California material now," Drew says. "But I couldn't really get out of Africa until I finished that book."

After a long wait, the next crop of Windows Phone handsets are beginning to trickle in, and just in time for the holidays. If you're familiar with our reviews of the HTC 8X and Nokia Lumia 920, you already know that Windows Phone has some impressive contenders in its stable, but these flagship devices only tell half of the story. Now, we're given an opportunity to test the Lumia 810, a mid-range smartphone that's now available on T-Mobile.
It's clear that T-Mobile isn't looking to start a price war here. At $150 after a rebate, the Lumia 810 costs more than Nokia's crown jewel, the Lumia 920, which you can find on AT&T for $100. Another telling sign: the phone also costs more than its siblings, the Lumia 820 for AT&T ($50) and the Lumia 822 for Verizon ($100). Naturally, you'll be able to recoup some of this with T-Mobile's lower monthly fees, but it goes without saying that T-Mobile is levying an early adopter tax on its subscribers. That said, for those sold on Windows Phone yet unwilling to jump ship, you're left to choose between the Lumia 810 and the more expensive HTC 8X. Along with its lower cost, Nokia holds an ace up its sleeve in the form of its home-brewed Windows Phone apps, which may be enough to sway customers away from HTC's flagship. Will the extra card be enough for a winning hand? Join us after the break as we explore the finer points of the Lumia 810.

- Rob Siegel, lecturer in management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and partner at XSeed Capital, details where WeWork went wrong.
- Specifically, the company lacked proper governance, which "everyone was willing to tolerate while the valuation kept rising."
- You don't have to break rules or norms to achieve massive growth, per Siegel.
- Here's what company leaders can learn from WeWork's example.
- Click here for more BI Prime stories.
WeWork has sparked many a conversation about the right way to build a business. In Rob Siegel's entrepreneurial finance class at Stanford, students evaluate issues around governance, like the benefits and downsides to a leader's power over an organization.
To Siegel, the most important lesson from WeWork is that of proper governance, or the system that's set up around how the business itself is controlled. This is complicated by the fact that there's no formal legal definition of what startup actually means, and, corporate law does not yet have rules on the books about how they ought to be governed.
"WeWork doesn't appear to be fraud, it just appears to be horrific governance that everyone was willing to tolerate while the valuation kept rising," Siegel tells Business Insider.
WeWork's design and branding was unique, which allowed it to stand out among other companies that have operated in the shared office space for a long time, like Regus, which also offers office space. WeWork did a good job of hiring the right people, and touted a culture where people hustled hard, then partied harder.
Is it possible to extricate the culture that was a byproduct of that governance from the growth that defined the company? In short, the answer is yes: "I do not believe and nor have I seen that great companies need to have horrifically toxic cultures," Siegal says.
Disproportionate growth could go hand-in-hand with proper governance
There are plenty of examples of well-run companies that were able to achieve growth with good governance. Siegel doesn't buy into the belief that the only way to achieve disproportionate growth is by breaking rules and breaking the law.
"It happens sometimes and by the way, when there's great amounts of money to be pocketed, it creates potentially horrific incentives for people to cut corners," Siegel cautions. "But that doesn't have to be that way. In the end, leaders decide how they want to lead and what companies they want to build."
In order to be a great company in a crowded playing field, leaders have to make sure they practice good governance.
This extends beyond growth in valuation: Leaders should also consider how they'll be perceived by other companies, potential hires, and their customer base.
For example, as University of Michigan professor characterizes it, WeWork serves as a cautionary tale against full executive control, such as the kind that former WeWork CEO Adam Neumann enjoyed — and before him Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos and Travis Kalanick of Uber.
Why WeWork got away with it
The reason WeWork got away with poor governance was because it was built on a transformational idea. Companies found value in flexible business spaces that they could rent without signing long-term leases.
"The bottom line is, when you have things that are transformational, there's a hype cycle that goes with that," Siegel explains. "And sometimes evaluations run ahead of the actual optics and then as gravity comes back, some companies will make a transformation and some companies won't."
WeWork was a transformative company, but it lacked defensibility, meaning its business model could be easily copied. Its message was appealing, but there was a low bar to entry for the field. WeWork's competitors could, and did, catch up.
"If you go to a Regus, it's more conservative, maybe a little older," Siegel said. "They've got this brand Spaces. I was in a Spaces in Sao Paulo last month, and it felt very much like a WeWork vibe."
So companies have already begun to replicate what made WeWork unique, while having proper governance in place. The question now is where WeWork can differentiate itself.
"It's not that hard to recreate what WeWork has done," Siegel said. "What WeWork has done is the branding, the vibe, the people they hire. But there's nothing that prevents other companies from doing the exact same thing."

Grace and Joe, man. They are some of the most joyful, happiest people that I've met! It was SUCH a fun time taking pictures of them for their winter engagement session (we even lucked out and had 60 degree weather! Woohoo!). They were so in the moment, so into each other and so laid back, making for some pretty incredible pictures of the two of them. BUT – before you see their images, I want you to read all about their love story. It's a good one – prep the tissues!
They met at a meeting, that was preparing them to go with a team from the Gateway House of Prayer to Burkina Faso, Africa on a mission trip. Since meeting and dating each other, they had a pretty crazy-awesome adventure of driving with some friends to the Grand Canyon this past spring break. They said that it was amazing, and joke about the fact that since they still loved each other after being in a car together for 23 hours, they figured that what they had going was probably pretty good!
When Joe proposed, he pulled out all the stops. Here's what Grace had to say about it:
"Our one year anniversary of Joe asking me out was on Thanksgiving of this year, so we decided to celebrate that Saturday (the 25th). Little did I know, our celebration would end in him getting down on one knee. That morning, he surprised me with taking me horseback riding at the barn that I first rode at and with the horse that I first learned ride on! The family that owns the horses are very close family friends, so it was very special to see them that day. We then went to Stone Hill Winery where we did a tour and tasting. We were headed home (I thought) at sunset, when he suddenly pulled up to a barn that I didn't recognize. I was totally thrown off and confused. I kept asking where we were and what we were doing haha. (I'm a total control freak, super bad at surprises). He said we were at the barn of another close family friend. We pulled up a little closer and I saw a sneak peek of a sign that said "Marry me, Grace?". Of course I knew what was coming the second I saw this sign, but there was more to come. He led me over to a little section near the sign with a table set with flowers and an electronic frame that had pictures of us throughout our year of dating. He then sat me down and pulled out his guitar. He began by playing my favorite love song, "Forever Like That" by Ben Rector. He then very subtly transitioned into a song that he wrote! Once he finished the song, he stood up, pulled out a little box from his pocket, and got down on one knee.
Through all of this, his brother-in-law was there walking around taking pictures. Once I had said yes, most of his siblings came out from the house nearby and there were many hugs, congratulations, and pictures. We then had a moment to relish in what had just happened before driving out to my house and celebrating with both of our families and a few friends."
Romantic, am I right? I love how Joe incorporated so many things that were special to Grace and to the two of them. They said that they are loving planning their wedding, because it's all leading up to them spending a lifetime together. Newly engaged couples, this part's for you: they suggested to not immediately start planning, to simply take time to enjoy the fact that you're engaged. They encourage you to remember that the most important thing is that you're getting married – everything else is extra!
They have a few things on their 'must do' list together, and I have to say – it's such a great list. Here's what they plan to make sure to do together:
1. Listen to the Lord's calling
2. Travel ( A lot)
3. Start a family
4. Do music together (particularly leading worship together)
Isn't that incredible? It didn't take long for me to figure out just how important their relationship with Christ is, and how much they value each other and family. I know that Joe and Grace are going to be a 'power couple' and have an impact on so many! Here's to you two and your future.

The Xbox one console provides many innovations that will stand the test of time. The gaming console, sold at a cheap price, will satisfy the curiosity of many gamers. The gaming system represents the upgrades that the Xbox 360 badly needed. The new system has been designed to be dependent on a high speed internet connection. This is one of the main functionality that has caused a stir amongst gamers. There are many more features which we will discuss.
New Features, New Design
The design of the Xbox one console is very simple and straight forward. It is basically a black rectangular box with diagonal slotted vents. Unlike the Xbox 360, this console will not stand vertical. The front of the console only features a power button and a loading tray. The back of the system comprises of eight connections. It has a HDMI input and output, digital sound out, gigabit Ethernet and three USB 3.0 ports. The console also consists of an internal 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless 802.11n radio.
The added features of the Xbox one make it more than just an aggressive gaming console. The Xbox can now play Blu-ray movies. The HDMI input port enables the device to double as a digital cable box or any other system that has a HDMI output. This functionality helps to integrate the home entertainment system into one unit.
The Kinect will now be shipped as a peripheral device of the gaming console. It is a high definition 1080P camera that supports voice activated commands. The Kinect can be used to control your home entertainment system without much effort. It can be used as an input for six players simultaneously. The Kinect will be able to differentiate between players based on the shape of their head, body frame and the size of their fingers. It can also detect muscle strain and a person's heart rate. This is ideal for those interested in fitness and workout games.
The controller of the Xbox one gaming console looks slightly different than that of the Xbox 360. The internal changes to the controller are profound. There are now four vibrating pads within the input device. This enables the controller to provide various feedback to the gamer. It can simulate the sensation of a firearm or footsteps.
Games that are bought for Xbox one has to be registered online. Therefore, there are no possibilities of second hand games within the arena. Microsoft has become strict on digital rights management. Most of the games that will debut with the console will have a 1080P resolution at 60 frames per minute. Characters will look realistic and have smooth human-like movements.
The Xbox one is in a position to win the gaming console war against the PS4 based solely on price. Even though it is more expensive than the PS4, it does ship with the Kinect. The only factor that takes away from the Xbox one is the mandatory internet connection that is required to play games.

Yes, the Buckhorn Exchange boasts liquor license number 1 -- but that's because the venerable restaurant was first in line after Prohibition ended in 1933, when new liquor licenses were issued. The oldest saloon in town is My Brother's Bar -- city registries indicate that 2376 15th Street was a bar back in the 1880s, and although the name has changed over the decades (it's been My Brother's for merely the past forty years), the building's purpose has not.
But the Buckhorn, a classic spot at 1000 Osage Street, deserves its own spot in the history books: It dates back to the 1890s.
Either bar would be a fine place to raise a glass this weekend, to toast the 77th anniversary of the end of Prohibition. (For a good history, read this installment of Sean Kenyon's Ask a Bartender.
Fair warning, though: My Brother's is always closed on Sunday -- the official anniversary is December 5 -- so you'll want to raise your glass there before last call on Saturday night.

- Some of the hottest tech stocks have "lost their shine" among millennials, according to data from the stock trading app Stockpile.
- AMD and Square slipped on the app's ranking of most-traded stocks, falling to 13th from 10th place, and 21st from 15th, respectively.
- Tech stocks have had a mixed earnings season.
The lukewarm earnings season seems to have tempered millennials' enthusiasm for some of the hottest tech stocks.
After the market selloff, shares of some of the biggest tech names have fallen out of favour with young investors, according to data from stock trading app Stockpile, which is popular with millennials. This comes on the heels of lacklustre earnings data and a jobs report that showed the fastest rise in hourly wages since 2008 and hinted at inflationary pressures ahead.
AMD and Square seem to "have lost their shine" with investors, according to a Stockpile spokesperson. AMD is now the 13th most traded stock on the app – which allows users to trade in fractional shares – down from 10th place. Square moved lower to the 21st place from 15th.
AMD reported an earnings beat across the board, though investors showed some signs of disappointment over its handling of the Spectre CPU flaw. The subsequent patches to fix the issue affected its chips' performance by as much as 30%. Meanwhile, Square, which is set to report earnings on Feb. 27, announced it would allow bitcoin trading on its platform though critics question how CEO Jack Dorsey could manage to run both Square and Twitter.
The high-flying FAANG stocks still enjoyed positions among the top 10 most-traded stocks on Stockpile, though Apple's and Facebook's positions slipped.
Facebook beat Wall Street estimates, though it said that users were spending fewer hours a day on its platform.Amazon enjoyed a blockbuster quarter while Apple disappointed investors because of its slower iPhone sales.Netflix posted a good earnings quarter, reporting a healthy pace of subscriber growth despite already being in most US homes. But Alphabet's Google missed estimates over higher traffic acquisition costs and higher expenses to reach smartphone users.
Notably, Stockpile data revealed that shares of Snap,Tesla, and Ford were rising in popularity in the trading app in the past seven days. Snap reported an explosive first quarter, Tesla showed stronger-than-expected earnings results, and Ford missed on earnings, though investors saw positive signals in its joint venture with Chinese firm Zotye and autonomous driving partnerships with Lyft and Domino's Pizza.
Here's a list of millennials' top 15 most-traded stocks on Stockpile:
- Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC)
- Amazon(AMZN)
- Tesla(TSLA)
- Apple(AAPL)
- Snap(SNAP)
- Alphabet Class A (GOOGL)
- Disney(DIS)
- Netflix(NFLX)
- iShares Core Growth Allocation ETF (AOR)
- Facebook(FB)
- Nvidia(NVDA)
- Ford(F)
- Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)
- Alibaba(BABA)
