My Duolingo History

I cannot remember the first time I downloaded the Duolingo app, but I know it wasn’t love at first sight. I had studied French all the way to an undergraduate degree in the UK and thought it might be a fun way to get in touch with this language.

Working my way through my first ever Duolingo exercises in 2014 was bewildering. I had not used a language app before and I didn’t understand how these disjointed, mechanical sentences were supposed to keep me excited about a language.

Over time, I learnt more about language apps as a general concept. They play an important role in getting 10,000s of people started with a new language. When I started learning Welsh, it was a great resource for quick exercises in my new language.

I’ve now completed the Duolingo skill trees in French and Welsh, and am about 30% through the Mandarin Chinese skill tree. I’ve also tried it out in a bunch of other languages like Esperanto and Spanish.

Unemployment Falls to 13.3% and Economy Adds 2.5 Million Jobs

The unemployment rate fell to 13.3 percent and payrolls unexpectedly rose by 2.5 million workers as the easing of restrictions on business activity and government aid led to new hiring in May.

The U.S. unemployment rate fell below last month’s record-high 14.7 percent, which was the highest on record in data going back to 1948. Economists estimate that the unemployment rate reached 25 percent during the Great Depression, although that predated the scientific economy-wide record keeping the government now deploys.

The job gains mark a sudden turnaround from a month earlier, when the economy shed a staggering 20.5 million jobs, by far the worst monthly decline on records back to 1939.

Economists had expected the unemployment rate to rise to nearly 20 percent and the economy to shed an additional 8 million jobs.

The mandatory closures of many businesses and stay-at-home orders slammed what had been a very healthy labor market hard. The economy added jobs for 113 straight weeks through February, a record streak of growth. The unemployment rate was 3.5 percent in February. And yet job creation was running very hot, with the economy adding an average of 211,000 new jobs each month.

The government has undertaken unprecedented efforts to support employment and provide aid to those who have lost their jobs. Around 150 million taxpayers received stimulus payments of up to $1200 for adults in their household plus additional amounts for children. The Treasury’s Paycheck Protection Program is backing $669 billion of loans to small businesses that can be forgiven if borrowers do not lay off workers. The federal government has been providing an additional $600 on top of state unemployment benefits, paying some Americans more than they earned on the job.

Recent data suggest the labor market has been stabilizing and is now improving. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits has declined every week since hitting a record high 6.8 million in March. Last week, this number fell to around 1.8 million. Over 40 million new claims have been made for unemployment since the wave but ongoing claims are just over 20 million, indicating many Americans have been rehired after losing jobs.

In May, employment in leisure and hospitality jumped by 1.2 million after falling by 7.5 million in April and 743,000 in March. Bars and restaurants hired an additional 1.4 million workers following a combined 6.1 million in job losses in April and March.

Construction employment jumped by 464,000 in May, gaining back almost half of April’s decline.

Dentist offices added 245,000 jobs. Health care employment overall rose by 312,00.

Retail shops added  368,000 jobs in May, after a loss of 2.3 million inApril. Over-the-month job gains occurred in clothing and clothing accessories stores were 95,000. Auto dealers added 85,000. General merchandise stores added 84,000.

Manufacturers added 225,000 jobs, about evenly split between the durable and nondurable goods components. Twenty-eight thousand of those were in auto making plants

Much to the dismay of the left, the American spirit of hard work, personal responsibility and perseverance remains intact. The American people are simply doing what they do best.

President Trump has been handed one crisis after another and hasn't crumbled under pressure and instead has made good policy choices despite these hurdles. I don't know how he does it.

Fox news NFL 2010s All-Decade Team: Ranking every player from 1 to 52 - NFL.com

Fox news

The NFL and Professional Soccer Hall of Popularity absorb published the 2010s All-Decade Group to honor the league's most efficient in some unspecified time in the future of the last 10 years. We're talking High Gun -- the most efficient of the most efficient. But who used to be the most efficient of the most efficient of the most efficient? I space out to answer to this very no longer going rapid under, ranking all 52 gamers who had been named to the prestigious roster.

My rankings criteria spirited accounting for the principle accolades the All-Decade Group individuals earned from 2010 to '19 -- All-Professionals, Professional Bowls, MVPs, Offensive and Defensive Player of the one year awards, and plenty of others. -- combined with their respective impact on the sport, one thing I admit is a ways less arrangement and more sturdy to measure.

Undercover agent, all of these guys are out of the ordinary. Do not overlook that while you occur to commence lampooning me on social media because your popular player is no longer as excessive on this listing as it is seemingly you'll presumably perchance perchance cherish.

Repeat: Avid gamers are listed with the teams they played for from 2010 to '19 only.

San Francisco 49ers (2010-19)

Staley, chosen 28th total by the 49ers in the 2007 NFL Draft, in actuality hit his shuffle in 2011, when he began a stretch of 5 straight Professional Bowl picks and three consecutive 2d-team All-Professional honors.

New England Patriots (2010-19)

All people remembers Adam Vinatieri making loads of take grasp of kicks to rating New England Inspiring Bowls in the 2000s, nevertheless Gostkowski replaced the lengthy streak Hall of Famer with aplomb, constructing a extremely decorated profession of his possess.

San Francisco 49ers (2010-14), Indianapolis Colts (2015-17), Miami Dolphins (2018), Buffalo Bills (2019)

Gore's Hall of Popularity-caliber profession dates the total arrangement motivate to 2005, and the RB used to be quiet finding methods to make a contribution in 2019 at age 36. Even when his manufacturing tailed off in direction of the conclude of the last decade, he did space as much as top 1,000 yards speeding 5 times and assign three Professional Bowl nods for the period of the period.

Cleveland Browns (2010-15), Atlanta Falcons (2016-19)

Mack continuously graded out as a top-10 player at his space, per Professional Soccer Focal point, including a top-ranked enact among centers for the 2016 season. He made six Professional Bowls and earned 2d-team All-Professional 3 times, starting up all 16 video games in 9 of his 10 campaigns for the period of the last decade.

Philadelphia Eagles (2010-19)

Right here's the loopy part about Peters: He's assign together a 16-one year profession that's incorporated 9 Professional Bowls (six for the period of the 2010s), two first-team All-Professional picks (each and each in the 2010s) and a Inspiring Bowl title after going undrafted in 2004. Peters is this form of depraved man that he earned the 2d of his two All-Professionals in 2013 -- one one year after he ruptured his Achilles twice internal a two-month period. The rock-solid salvage used to be PFF's 2d-absolute top graded player at his space (93.6) for the period of the last decade.

Arizona Cardinals (2010-16), Jacksonville Jaguars (2017-19)

He's a 5-time Professional Bowler and a Walter Payton NFL Man of the one year winner who made waves when he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent in 2017. He earned his first-ever All-Professional more than just a few and used to be the Professional Soccer Writers of The US's Defensive Player of the one year that season.

Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (2016-19)

While Hill has developed into one of the most game's elite receivers, he earned his space on the roster for his work on special teams. He has the most punt return yards (1,009) in the NFL since getting into the league, whereas boasting the 2d-absolute top yards-per-punt-return tag of the last decade (11.9 yards, min. 50 returns), in the motivate of only Devin Hester.

Arizona Cardinals (2010-19)

Fitzgerald has been one of the most NFL's most efficient receivers for almost 20 years. He had three seasons with after all 100 catches and 1,000 yards from 2015 to '17, including a league-excessive 107 receptions in 2016 -- the same one year he used to be named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the one year. Fitz would harmful worthy better if this had been an All-Millennium Group.

New Orleans Saints (2011-19)

Obviously, while you occur to recall to mind the Saints, you at once take into myth their massive offense. But Jordan has been quietly dominant on the defensive side of the football for years, as evidenced by his 5 double-digit sack seasons for the period of the last decade.

San Diego Chargers (2010), New Orleans Saints (2011-13), Philadelphia Eagles (2014-19)

Regarded as one of the most game's elite returners and one of the crucial versatile offensive gamers of the closing 15 years, Sproles is now honest the fourth player in NFL history to be named to an All-Decade Group at extra than one positions (punt returner and flex).

Chicago Bears (2010-13), Atlanta Falcons (2014-15), Baltimore Ravens/Seattle Seahawks (2016)

This one is de facto worthy. Hester is obviously a Hall of Famer and would rating my vote for the most efficient returner of all time. But basically basically based only on the 2010s? Sadly, I honest can't pass him up any better ... as worthy as I'd in actuality like to.

Philadelphia Eagles (2012-19)

A majestic power in the heart for the Eagles for the period of the last decade, he went to 5 Professional Bowls and used to be a indispensable-team All-Professional in 2018. But most importantly, Cox helped lead the Eagles to their first Inspiring Bowl title in franchise history.

New England Patriots (2012-15), Arizona Cardinals (2016-19)

Won a Inspiring Bowl with the Patriots, then used to be shipped to the Cardinals at honest 26 years weak. Jones did not omit a beat a ways from Bill Belichick, even though, posting four consecutive double-digit sack seasons in the wasteland, including 19 closing one year and a league-leading 17 in 2017.

Cincinnati Bengals (2010-19)

You know, the Bengals had some moderately accurate teams for the period of the heart of the last decade, after they earned 5 consecutive playoff berths. And Atkins, an eight-time Professional bowler, used to be a large cause.

Dallas Cowboys (2011-19)

The Cowboys' offensive line has been the gold common for loads of of the last decade, and the 2-time All-Professional and seven-time Professional Bowler used to be the principle portion to suit into space, because the ninth total buy in the 2011 NFL Draft.

St.Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2012-19)

Undercover agent, Hekker would've had my (imaginary) vote for Inspiring Bowl MVP if the Rams had managed to beat the Patriots in Inspiring Bowl LIII, when Hekker punted 9 times at 46.3 yards per punt. As an more than just a few he'll should resolve for the most efficient punter in the league (and on these rankings).

Minnesota Vikings (2013-16), Oakland Raiders (2017), New England Patriots (2018), Chicago Bears (2019)

Looks irregular to absorb Patterson better on this listing than Hester, nevertheless CP used to be good for the period of the last decade. In spite of getting a late commence, he ranked first in kick return yards (6,101), TDs (seven) and moderate (29.9 yards, min. 20 returns) for the period of the 10-one year period.

Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (2013-19)

After overcoming a late commence as much as his profession, Kelce is now arguably the most efficient tight conclude in the sport (reckoning on how you are feeling about George Kittle). He had 200 combined receptions previously two years and four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to trip alongside with his 5 straight Professional Bowl nods.

San Diego Chargers (2010-15), Baltimore Ravens (2016-18), Los Angeles Rams (2019)

A 2d-spherical buy by the Chargers in 2007, Weddle did not in actuality establish himself as one of the most NFL's most efficient safeties till 2011, when he tied for the league lead in picks (seven) and notched the principle of two first-team All-Professional honors. The recently retired defender earned his recognition for being a relied on leader and playmaker.

Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-19)

The premier center for the period of the last decade. Even as you occur to recall to mind the Steelers' excessive-octane offenses from the 2010s, your fantasy-centric brain seemingly goes at once to the Killer Bs ( Gigantic Ben, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown). But don't neglect about the eight-time Professional Bowler up front who's been the linchpin to a top-conclude O-line. There might well be a cause so many operating backs absorb had success in Pittsburgh in some unspecified time in the future of the last 10 years.

Arizona Cardinals (2011-19)

Peterson has been one of the most conclude (and few closing) shutdown cornerbacks in the league for years. And no longer only used to be he extremely talented, nevertheless he did not omit a single game attributable to damage from 2011 to '19 (including 128 consecutive starts).

Buffalo Bills (2010), Seattle Seahawks (2010-15, '19), Oakland Raiders (2017-18)

Beast Mode used to be as bruising, balanced and interesting a operating motivate as now we absorb ever viewed. He reminded us of that, week in and week out, for the period of the principle half of of the last decade, when he led the league in speeding touchdowns (2013 and '14) and seemed in two Inspiring Bowls (worthwhile one). Or no longer you will should shock what his already impressive legacy might well presumably perchance perchance be if, you respect, he had gotten the call from the 1-yard line.

New Orleans Saints (2010-16), Inexperienced Bay Packers (2017)

Evans used to be a dominant lineman for loads of years in New Orleans. And whereas his Inspiring Bowl rating did not reach for the period of the 2010s, three of his four consecutive first-team All-Professional nods did (2009-2012).

Philadelphia Eagles (2010-14), Buffalo Bills (2015-18), Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (2019)

The dual-risk operating motivate led the NFL in speeding yards (1,607) in 2013 and speeding touchdowns (17) in 2011. But the part that made him so harmful for so worthy of the last decade used to be his receiving ability out of the backfield; he's recorded 40-plus receptions in a season seven times over his profession (six in the 2010s).

Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (2010-18)

Berry used to be the fifth total buy in the 2010 NFL Draft and swiftly grew to transform one of the most conclude gamers at his space. An All-Professional in 2013, Berry used to be compelled to in the reduction of his 2014 season short after he used to be identified with Hodgkin's lymphoma. He recovered and returned the next one year to assign All-Professional honors once extra, nabbing the NFL Comeback Player of the one year award.

New York Jets (2010-12, '15-16), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2013), New England Patriots (2014), Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (2017)

Revis Island used to be one of the most loneliest locations on the football field for years. And there might well be no longer a query Revis used to be one of the crucial efficient to ever originate it. But the lockdown nook of his generation will get knocked here because three of his extremely productive seasons (including an All-Professional one year) came about for the period of the 2000s.

San Francisco 49ers (2010-14)

Willis might well presumably perchance quiet had been chosen to the Hall of Popularity in 2020. I thought he used to be one of the most locks. Even supposing he retired in 2014 and played honest 5 seasons in the 2010s, he used to be as dominant for the period of that stretch (three All-Professionals, four Professional Bowls) as almost any one on this listing. I'm baffled as to why he did not rating into Canton this one year.

Detroit Lions (2010-15)

Relish Patrick Willis, Megatron is a Hall of Famer for sure no topic his short(ish) profession. He posted after all 1,000 receiving yards in every of his six seasons for the period of the last decade, including his NFL-document 1,964 yards in 2012. He also averaged 100-plus yards receiving per game 3 times, earning All-Professional honors in every of these campaigns. Johnson used to be an absolute nightmare to defend and an absolute shock to gaze.

Seattle Seahawks (2011-17), San Francisco 49ers (2018-19)

Sherman used to be a transformed receiver at Stanford and a fifth-spherical buy of the Seahawks. The unheralded nook then worked (and trash-talked) his arrangement into changing into one of the most vocal leaders of the Legion of Enhance and a Inspiring Bowl champion. The last decade's leader in INTs (35) tore his Achilles in 2017, and you needed to shock if he would ever be the same. He used to be. And in 2019, Revis made his third Inspiring Bowl look of the 2010s.

Seattle Seahawks (2010-18), Baltimore Ravens (2019)

When Pete Carroll took over the Seahawks in 2010, his first ever draft buy for the franchise used to be Thomas, with the 14th total more than just a few -- Carroll even disregarded his possess man, Taylor Mays, who had played for him at USC, to decide Thomas. Thomas rewarded Carroll's faith by changing real into a key member of the Legion of Enhance. Thomas would garner six Professional Bowl picks and three consecutive first-team All-Professional nods (tied for loads of by a security in the last decade) whereas helping the Seahawks to their first ever Inspiring Bowl rating, then used to be named to a seventh Professional Bowl in his first season with the Ravens in 2019.

Baltimore Ravens (2012-19)

I know loads of folk will seemingly be rotten that a kicker has landed this excessive in the rankings. No. 1: I'm a Bears fan, so that you just're lucky he's no longer first total; and a pair of) Let's be shapely about this and acknowledge Tucker as one of only eight unanimous picks to this team. There in actuality shouldn't be some other kicker in the sport who is as constant or reliable. So, if one thing else, I will also very well be underrating his value a miniature bit bit.

Baltimore Ravens (2010-19)

Speaking of Ravens unanimously chosen to this team, here comes the recently retired Yanda. In fact, former classic supervisor Ozzie Newsome is by no arrangement given ample credit rating for how well he constructed this Ravens franchise. Yanda, a Third-spherical buy of Iowa, made eight Professional Bowls for the period of the 2010s, including motivate-to-motivate nods at ages 34 and 35, and helped pronounce one other Lombardi Trophy motivate to Baltimore. Drained of hearing me wax poetic about an internal O-lineman? Maybe it is seemingly you'll presumably perchance decide to hear several of his All-Decade Group compatriots thunder his praises.

Dallas Cowboys (2014-19)

I used to be at Radio Metropolis Song Hall when the Cowboys chosen Martin 16th total. The crowd used to be ready to pop so laborious for Jerry Jones and Co. to buy Johnny Manziel in that space, cherish it used to be the 2014 Royal Rumble. But then Dallas took Martin, and what a buy it used to be. As massive as Marshal Yanda used to be, I'd've sided with the four-time All-Professional Martin because the unanimous more than just a few of the 2. I'd cherish to fulfill the person that did not vote for him.

Atlanta Falcons (2011-19)

Julio is superior. I could well presumably perchance perchance possibly honest conclude honest there, nevertheless then it is seemingly you'll presumably perchance fail to tag all these juicy stats the NFL be taught team compiled: He ranks first in receiving yards (12,125) and third in receptions (797) for the period of the last decade, is the single player in NFL history with 5 straight seasons with after all 1,400 receiving yards and owns the most efficient profession yards per game tag (96.2). The one knock against him is that his touchdown totals might well presumably perchance very well be better. But I blame the Falcons coaching workers for that bigger than I originate Julio.

Oakland Raiders (2014-17), Chicago Bears (2018-19)

This Chicago Bears massive might well presumably perchance quiet possibly be first on this listing. I know, I know. But being arrangement here, Mack has been a continuing nuisance to quarterbacks for the reason that Raiders chosen him out of Buffalo with the fifth total buy in 2014. He received the NFL Defensive Player of the one year in 2016 and is the single defender with 60-plus sacks, 20-plus compelled fumbles and two-plus INTs since 2014, per NFL Media be taught. His alternate to the Bears sent waves for the period of the league in 2018. And whereas that would not in actuality absorb one thing else to originate with his space on this listing, I cherish recognizing that deal as this kind of uncommon occurrences the assign each and each teams can legitimately feel tickled with the final end result, with the Raiders touchdown four picks, including two first-rounders.

Seattle Seahawks (2012-19)

Wagner is rarely any doubt one of the crucial efficient center linebackers I've ever viewed play. This should be what it used to be cherish for my dad to gaze Mike Singletary all of these years previously. Obviously, we know the arrangement accurate the Seahawks protection has been. But it undoubtedly's quiet a miniature bit unbiased to examine Wagner's profession resume and tag 5 first-team All-Professional picks (four consecutive) and a 2d-team more than just a few, to boot. If one thing else, I'd no longer be giving him ample respect here.

Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-18), New England Patriots (2019)

I've said this sooner than, nevertheless AB is the most efficient receiver of the closing 20 years. He's the single player in NFL history with six consecutive 100-spend seasons and ranks 2d in the last decade in receiving yards (11,263), receptions (841) and receiving first downs (549). Brown has had his shapely fragment of concerns off the sphere over the closing 18 months. But his manufacturing from 2010 thru '18 speaks for itself.

New England Patriots (2010-18)

Gronkowski is the supreme tight conclude in NFL history. He scored 79 profession receiving touchdowns, including a league-excessive 17 in 2011. The three-time Inspiring Bowl champ had double-digit rankings in 5 of his 9 seasons. As unbelievable as he used to be as a receiver (and think me, he used to be), dude used to be even better as a blocker and used to be a large portion of the Patriots' speeding assault.

Minnesota Vikings (2010-16), New Orleans Saints/Arizona Cardinals (2017), Washington Redskins (2018-19)

While it be refined for a operating motivate to decide a excessive stage of success for a total decade, Peterson came moderately shut; he averaged after all 4.2 yards per lift in every of the seven seasons since 2010 in which he had after all 200 carries. He led the NFL in speeding twice, including in 2012, when he ran for 2,097 yards and grew to transform only the third non-QB to rating MVP in the closing 20 seasons. That the person they call All Day is quiet productive at age 35 is each and each grisly and fully inevitable.

Inexperienced Bay Packers (2010-19)

Rodgers used to be good for the period of the early portion of the last decade, when he received MVP twice (2011, 2014). He also guided the Packers to a title in Inspiring Bowl XLV and used to be chosen because the sport's MVP. His ball security and total effectivity for a ways of that span (he completed the last decade with a sick 305: 63 TD-to-INT ratio) is nearly unmatched, whereas his 103.6 passer ranking ranks No. 1 among passers with after all 1,500 attempts. Even as you occur to're questioning why he's no longer a splash better, it be for the reason that bane of every Bears fan has viewed his manufacturing and precision decline over the closing three years.

Cleveland Browns (2010-17)

One other unanimous more than just a few on the team, and for accurate cause. The Browns chosen Thomas with the third total buy in 2007, and he did not omit a single snap till 2017. We're talking bigger than 10,000 snaps, of us. On the Browns. Assume that. Thomas used to be an All-Professional more than just a few in six of the eight seasons he played in the 2010s (including his 2d-team nod in 2012), used to be the supreme-graded salvage by PFF (93.8) and, simply assign, one of the crucial efficient linemen of all time.

Carolina Panthers (2012-19)

Kuechly retired in January, and I chanced on it fun of us had been debating his Hall of Popularity worthiness. He's getting in. Dude adopted up his 2012 Defensive Rookie of the one year marketing campaign by worthwhile the 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the one year award and used to be chosen to seven All-Professional teams (including 5 first-team bids). In an generation with some moderately rattling accurate linebackers, Kuechly used to be as versatile and loyal as they reach -- a particular tackler who might well presumably perchance perchance topple motivate in protection and elope the passer when wished. He used to be one of the crucial efficient of his generation, this generation.

Houston Texans (2011-19)

Watt has battled thru some injuries over the closing four years, so while you're necessary of him ranking this excessive or being one of the most unanimous picks, then recency bias might well presumably perchance very well be clouding your judgement a miniature. Allow me the more than just a few to remind you of honest how extra special Watt used to be for the period of this decade. He used to be a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the one year winner and a 5-time first-team All-Professional. He posted 20.5 sacks in two separate seasons, ending the last decade tied for 2d-most in the NFL (96), whereas ranking first in QB hits (265) and tackles for loss (158). And he used to be also a large dude, worthwhile the Walter Payton NFL Man of the one year in 2017.

St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2014-19)

There are going to be of us that will negate Donald is the most efficient player in the NFL honest now. Which he very might well presumably perchance presumably be. But this ranking measures what a man did for a total decade, so ... he used to be named 2014 Defensive Rookie of the one year ... earned 5 straight first-team All-Professionals ... received two NFL Defensive Player of the one year awards ... used to be the 2018 sack leader (as an internal lineman) ... You are honest, he might well presumably perchance very well be the most efficient player in the league honest now. Getting the Rams to the Inspiring Bowl used to be also unbelievable, nevertheless he's quiet honest top three for me.

Denver Broncos (2011-19)

I fully accept that this might well possibly presumably perchance very well be an unpopular notion ( I imply, that is what I originate, after all), especially because most of us would seemingly resolve on Donald and his two DPOYs over Miller's zero. But the Broncos' edge rusher completed the last decade with seven All-Professional picks (three first-team honors), a league-leading 106 sacks and a Defensive Rookie of the one year award. Most importantly, even though, he received a Inspiring Bowl MVP award (in Inspiring Bowl 50). Donald might well presumably perchance need gotten this kind of, too, had the Rams beaten the Pats a pair of years motivate. But he did not. Miller did. And if quarterbacks rating judged on Inspiring Bowls, it be only shapely to present credit rating to a man who once in a whereas willed Peyton Manning and the Broncos to a title.

New England Patriots (2010-19)

Or no longer it is a chalk buy, I know. Brady has by no arrangement been in a location to put up the passing numbers that many of his contemporaries assign up for the period of the last decade, even though I'd cherish to indicate that no longer only did he proceed the league in passing touchdowns in 2010 and 2015, nevertheless he used to be first-team All-Professional and the league leader in passing yards in 2017 -- at 40 years weak. And whereas he and Aaron Rodgers had been the single two gamers for the period of the last decade to rating two MVPs, Brady has 32 extra wins in the last decade than the Packers' QB (138 to 106, including playoffs). But over again, it comes the total formula down to titles. Brady had the Patriots in the AFC Championship Sport eight times in 10 years, worthwhile 5 convention titles and three Inspiring Bowls (plus two Inspiring Bowl MVPs).

There might well be not any sense throwing extra stats or accolades at you, because it would all be in the provider of honest telling you one thing you respect: Brady used to be the most efficient player of the last decade.

2017 PGA Championship: Ranking the favorites in a loaded field at Quail Hollow

The Spieth slam, Hideki’s hot streak, Sergio’s consistency, and Brooks' bombs might stand in the way. But don’t be mistaken. At Quail, this is Rory McIlroy’s major championship to lose.

The 99th PGA Championship gets underway this week from Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. A booming field of 156 tour players and club professionals tee it up in the season’s final major championship. A longtime PGA Tour stop hosting both the Kemper Open and now the Wells Fargo Championship, this is Quail’s debut as a major championship venue. The course record holder? Rory McIlroy, who’s won here twice, and tossed down a 61 in the third-round of the 2015 Tour stop here. He's the favorite this week. Here’s a list of McIlroy and 19 other favorites (and a couple sleeper picks) to take home the Wanamaker Trophy this week, ranked from 20 to 1.

20. Zach Johnson

Sure, sure, we’re talking about Jordan Spieth and the Grand Slam this week. Does ZJ checking the third box at Quail strike your fancy? If not for an otherworldy round by Hideki at Firestone, he’s coming off a WGC win. The haters and losers will say this track’s too big for him, but I believe in our Iowan Golf King.

19. Rafa Cabrera-Bello

I was prepped to have RCB in my top ten this week, but a finish in the Willett Zone (DEFINITION: bottom five in a no-cut WGC) should have you a bit concerned if his great form leading into the Open followed him here to the States.

18. Kevin Chappell

Don’t be surprised if you see most of the picks this week at Quail Hollow skew toward longer hitters. Chappell’s got the talent and length to be a deserving first-time major champion, and picked up a win earlier this year in San Antonio. He won’t be a favorite, but a sleeper name to keep an eye on nonetheless.

17. Alex Noren

Ah, the old question. What do we do with Alex Noren in a U.S. major championship? Please don’t be mistaken: Noren’s bona fides are real, he’s probably been the best Euro Tour-based player in the world over the past two seasons. That top-10 ranking is much deserved, and should’ve been validated by his play at last month’s Open. But there’s a reason American fans likely know little about the 35-year-old Swede: he’s yet to make a huge splash here stateside. His best finish in a US-based major? 34th in the 2011 PGA. Woof.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

His mother’s cancer diagnosis had Day’s mind elsewhere for a good chunk of 2017. Could he rebound late at the tournament where he won his first major two years ago?

16. Jason Day

It seems like we might getting toward the light at the end of the tunnel for the man who started 2017 as the world’s top player. It wouldn’t be stunning to see him play well at a Quail Hollow course that should set up well for his strengths, but it’s probably safest to go ahead and punt on Day’s 2017 major chances. Perhaps a Playoff run might be in the cards, though?

15. Xander Schauffele

Here’s your darkhorse for Quail. The Rookie of the Year favorite followed up his breakout top-5 finish at Erin Hills with a respectable top-20 at Birkdale, and squeezed in his first career Tour win at the Greenbrier in between. Quail’s length won’t be an issue at all — and a win for the 23-year-old would make for one of the better stories of the season.

14. Phil Mickelson

Window’s closing, man. Here’s your reminder that Tiger Woods has won more recently on the PGA Tour than Phil. Lefty’s played well at Quail historically, but only Julius Boros’ win at the 1968 PGA at age 48 would be an older champion.

13. Justin Rose

It’s probably unfair to have Rosie this low on the list, but it’s a testament to those just ahead of him. He’s been inconsistent since taking Sergio to the wire at The Masters, but missed a playoff by a single shot at the 2016 Wells Fargo here at Quail. Horses for courses, especially when the horse is as proven as Rose.

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

Pieters has all the talent of a megastar, but weekend struggles leave one wondering if he’s ready to win on the big stage.

12. Thomas Pieters

Let’s start with the positives for the 25-year-old Belgian. In a vacuum, he’s a superstar-level talent that I’d compare to Rory and Darren Clarke compared to Tiger Woods. A fourth-place finish at this year’s Masters and nice showings in the WGCs should validate that. Quail’s the perfect golf course for his strengths, too.

The problem? We’ve gained enough of a sample size to probably say Pieters has some weekend nerves. He shared the 36-hole lead at both the Masters and last year’s Olympics before Saturday stumbles. More struggles on Sunday while trying to seal the deal at Firestone last week didn’t do anything to quell that notion.

11. Charley Hoffman

If it has seemed like Hoffman’s appeared at some point on the leaderboard in every golf tournament of note in 2017, it’s probably because he has. It’s due time we appreciate that. He’s still yet to win this season, but it’d be more surprising to see Hoffman out of the weekend TV coverage than in it.

10. Jon Rahm

I’m not really sure what to do with Rahm this week. Our Spanish phenom still seems to be getting his legs underneath him in major championships, but he’s another player who should feast on Quail. Not at the top of my list, but not far down it, either.

9. Tommy Fleetwood

He was the local favorite at Birkdale, but perhaps Fleetwood’s an Englishman more suited to win here stateside. It’s probably unfair and overbroad to assume all ballstriker-types will play well at PGAs

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports

JT seems to check every box of a prospective first-time major winner at a PGA.

8. Justin Thomas

When I walked with him for his third-round 63 at Erin Hills, I couldn’t help but have the same thought over and over. If constructing a player in a lab to win a PGA Championship, you’d come close to JT. He’s the quintessential modern American player, for a modern American track. It’s a shame we won’t be back in Louisville at Valhalla anytime soon thanks to dumb PGA choices, so Quail will have to do.

7. Dustin Johnson

The year of DJ seems to be coming to a close. It’s been a summer of missed opportunity for World No. 1. He’s still a favorite just because he’s Dustin Johnson, but there’s little the 32-year-old has done since early May to make you think he’s a true contender to win this week.

6. Brooks Koepka

A Brooks double in 2017? Why not? He followed up his U.S. Open win at Erin Hills by contending once again at Birkdale. If you’re inclined to believe we’re in for another wet week in Charlotte on a track that might already tip toward long-hitters, doesn’t that sound familiar to what we saw in Wisconsin?

5. Sergio Garcia

Here’s a weird sentence to write. There’s perhaps no safer bet in major championships right now than Sergio Garcia. If he plays the weekend at the 99th PGA, Sergio will have gone a full calendar year without missing a cut. In a post-Tiger world, that’s incredibly rare. Gotta make cuts to give yourself a chance to win, and Sergio reliably does that.

It's hard to know how he’ll fare this week coming off a honeymoon and with his Green Jacket in tow, but Sergio is suddenly Mr. Reliable at least to have a chance at majors. 2017 is wild as hell.

Michael Madrid-USA TODAY Sports

24 years old. Grand Slam winner. How does that sound?

4. Jordan Spieth

Bad news: Winning back to back majors is hard as heck. Good news: Jordan Spieth has already done it once. But! Quail’s a far different track than Birkdale, and there’s probably reason to be concerned about the putter. Jordan admitted as much himself after finishing up at Firestone last weekend.

3. Hideki Matsuyama

On perhaps any other golf course, Hideki’s your favorite. He seems well-suited to be the type of player that wins a PGA as his first major — though the talent’s undoubtedly there to win at any of the four. He’s in top form, and if he can keep the confidence rolling from the 61 at Firestone, we’re looking at Japan’s best shot ever at a major title.

2. Rickie Fowler

For as much hype as the next name will get at Quail, it’s easy to forget another big name who won for the first time here: Rickie Fowler. Rick beat Rory and D.A. Points in a 2012 playoff for his first tour win here, and then nearly won again in 2016. After another miss at Erin Hills in June, could Rickie finally break through here in Charlotte? It might be his best chance yet.

1. Rory McIlroy

It has been talked about since it was announced Quail Hollow would get a PGA Championship. This would be Rory’s tournament to lose. And for all the takes about the state of his game, whether he works out too much, whether he cares too little, whether blade collars are good or bad, this is still his tournament to lose. This is the place that birthed his first professional win, where he’s been at his best as a pro. Two wins by a combined 11 shots, renovations and upgrades be damned, he’s your favorite. Even after a 2017 that hasn’t lived up to his personal expectations, expect Rory to be your PGA Champion.

Morning Pages #44 (23.03.2017)

Thursday 23rd March - 10:30 p.m.

Thursdays are always going to be rather draining for me, with the 6 a.m. start and the fact that my last lecture is two hours long, from 3:15 till 5:15. I tried catching the tram home today because I thought it would be faster, and ended up walking all the way to Bourke Street to do so. When I got there though, the trams were far too packed for me to deal with and I was starving, mind you. I didn’t have the energy to stand up like that, and I really wanted to finish ‘The Member of the Wedding’ before Evan comes over tonight, because he’s supposed to come over within the next hour. I wanted to be able to give the book back to his dad, because honestly I would like some more recommendations. I’ve finished the book now, and thought it was adorable, and kind of relatable. The way Frankie feels about her town is the way that I feel about Mill Park, and my being in Northcote very much feels like an escape from my real life. I didn’t understand why she thought her only way out was to latch onto her brother’s marriage though, because it didn’t sound like she was too close to her brother to begin with. I do understand the feeling of having no ‘we’ though; possessing no sense of belonging or a limited sense of self can be painful and it’s usually teenagers who have to deal with that whilst they still possess the belief that they’re going through it alone. That’s what makes it worse, that dual loneliness. What’s ironic is that they’re both constructed isolations rather than actual ones.

Anyway, I finished the book and now I can start ‘Treasure Island’ (or continue with it, I guess) OR I can get started on the ‘East of Eden’ letters and go out and finally buy myself a copy of the book too. Honestly though, I feel like I should read ‘Treasure Island’ first, just because it’s been a long time coming with that book too, and I have kind of already started it. But Evan got me the ‘East of Eden’ letters so I feel like I shouldn’t put it off. I don’t know! I also have a fuckton of uni work too, I mean who has time for pleasure reading during the semester anymore? I’m conscious of the fact that I’ve had a new book with me every week so far, and I do like the idea of maintaining that streak, but I just don’t know if I have the luxury of time to do that. I have to rewrite my news story because we were given some pretty wholesome feedback today and I realised that my entire story angle is seriously flawed. I went from 749 words to about 400 words today, but hopefully I can just cut and paste portions of the first draft into my final draft. I also need to write some sort of report on radio dramas, and write up my pitch for next Monday. I also have to research my Sustainable Development midterm essay, and my Stakeholder Assessment Map. What a ridiculous assessment task! I really hope that I can just get away with hand-drawing a chart because I honestly don’t want to have to deal with computer mapping. Excel and digital graph-making, anything like that. I’m not very great with it, and I thought I’d seen the end of it last year with the charts I had to make for Greening Landscapes.

Also, for the past few days I’ve been really tempted to buy some crop tops from asos, because they’re on clearance right now and they’re like five or six dollars each, and also I only just realised that my body is kind of pretty sweet right now. I’m wearing my FILA bra and my camo pants and I feel really good about myself. My hair is finally looking like itself again, I mean since I shaved it. It’s growing back thick and glossy and full of character and I love it. But that’s not the point. My point is that I want to add to my wardrobe, primarily clothes that I’ll feel comfortable going out in. I want to look really good for Evan too, I mean whenever I can. I want him to be able to show me off, I want him to feel lucky to have me. I just feel so lucky to have him. I was talking to Malith about this when he came over, about the fact that we both think we’re with people who are so together and good for us, because we are relatively not together in comparison. I don’t know why I’m talking about this right now! I was supposed to be talking about cute, cheap crop tops! I am growing increasingly tempted by it all, but that’s only if I can summon the dumb courage to spend the money. I’ve spent like three hundred dollars this month alone, which is not ideal. I only have about $1300 to live off of for the rest of this year, or until I get a job. I’m aiming to get a job after this semester, I think. I’ve been handing out my resume though, although it’s been rather sporadically. I’m more focused on getting through this semester academically-speaking, yes. The work is beginning to pile up. I think it also might be because I’m getting my period - or I should be getting my period soon - but I had absolutely no focus today. My head was all over the place, and I was painfully inarticulate in both of my tutorials. That and it might be my honeymoon brain too. It’s a likely combination of the two. I bought pads today just in case, because Clue says my period is supposed to come either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, that is if it’s managed to stay on the 28-day cycle I was on back when I was taking the pill. It probably hasn’t though. I don’t think I’m pregnant though, even though Evan can sometimes be a little sloppy with his hands. I mean he’ll grab his dick then finger me or something, or maybe I’m just paranoid that he does that, but I’ve seen him grab his dick before sex and it makes me a little bit nervous. I don’t know why I’m talking about this.

I’m rambling. I just want to finish these pages before he comes over. It’s nearly 10 to 11 and he’s supposed to be here around 11. I was really tempted to go to his game tonight too, but I got home at like half past seven in the evening. Yes, it took me two hours to get home today. I’m not entirely sure why either! I didn’t feel like an hour and a half had passed between the end of the lecture and my being on the platform at Flinders Street. I did walk all the way to Flinders from uni, and I did stop at Bourke Street and also along Swanston Street at this Subway store where a man had collapsed. I stood there for a while in mute concern for this man, as a whole bunch of other people actually did something about it. I just didn’t want to leave until I knew he’d be okay, even if I could do nothing to help him. But then I realised that that was selfish of me, to stay in the way whilst he was being helped, or whilst other people who were more equipped to help him, were trying to help him. What was disconcerting to me was the fact that some people walked past without even realising a man had collapsed. I understand people who did double-takes or people who registered what was going on and walked ahead stony-faced, because the city can be a very isolating environment. But there were actually people who didn’t even notice, who were so caught up in the hustle and bustle that they didn’t even realise a fellow man was in peril.

So Evan’s over right now. He’s sitting on the floor at Emily’s place, petting what was a very affectionate Romulus. Romy was hiding under the bed for the past couple of hours because I had vacuumed today. I think I might wrap it up prematurely maybe, just because I am very conscious of this adorable dude sitting in front of me right now. He’s grinning over my laptop, because I may have just revealed that these pages are somewhat confidential. Okay, so he’s gone into the bedroom now because I was noticeably distracted by him. Okay, I’m going to finish this last page in record time because I want to spend time with him because he’s a sweetheart. Oh man I am disgusting. This is diabetes-inducing, honestly.

I had two twix bars today, because they were on special at Foodworks at Union House, one bar for $1.50. I have $3.10 in change so I said ‘fuck it’ and decided to treat myself, because I felt like chocolate. I have two mandarins and an apple and two twix bars for lunch, and oats in the morning. I had the rest of Evan’s curry for dinner with some of ammi’s rice. I messaged Lauren to see if she would eat the eggs, but she said she wouldn’t, which is a damn shame because I was looking forward to cooking for her for a change. But it’s also fine because at least I’m not feeding her something that goes against her principles. Evan just sneezed. I really want to be over and done with this page. I’m listening to Childish Gambino, 3005 but the Part Two version, the slower version. It’s nice but I’m kind of over this song, which is understandable I mean it’s like four or so years old now and even the original gets rather repetitive. I’m into Sober right now, because I recently showed Evan the music video for that song. I really just want to be over and done with these pages! He’s here! I want to just hug him and kiss him and ugh ugh ugh I really can’t wait, I really can’t wait to be done with these pages. This is actually ridiculous, but I need some discipline, I mean I have to get back into this. I didn’t write for TEN DAYS. That is inexcusable.

Okay, so I feel like I’m nearing the end of this! I scrolled down as much as I can and I can finally see the end of this blasted final page, so I’m feeling rather good right now. My hands are typing almost at a rabbit’s pace, fuck I just realised I paused here trying to describe how fast my hands are typing. These pages are useful in securing the discipline of writing every day, yes, but if I’m writing nothing of substance would this discipline still translate? I feel like maybe with time, these pages will start holding actual ‘flourished’ sentences. Bri said that on Facebook today, and I thought it was cute. She was talking about getting into writing, by taking a writing class or something. She’s doing a fair bit of dabbling, which is neat. I’ve been meaning to return to some drawing in my free time. I had the courage to show Isaac the drawing I did of him, and he said he liked it, even though it was rather basic. I don’t know what he thinks of me anymore, if he ever thinks fond thoughts of me. I don’t know, I just like the idea of him doing that, but I know I don’t want anything romantic with him. He’s a bit odd, and he’s been growing increasingly odd the longer I’ve known him. Sad and odd, and alone. I don’t know if he feels lonely, but I have a strong suspicion that he does, and he uses work as a vice even though work is the reason he mostly finds himself alone. His transience is also inhibiting him from securing a sense of belonging; in lieu of that belonging, he has boundless ambition. I know that he’s going to end up relocating to New York or something.

Okay I’m on the fourth page now so I’m going to go. See you bitches tomorrow, I’m going to go hang with my baby.
