Alex Rodriguez Suspended from Major League Baseball for 211 Games
July 26, 2014 //
Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig has suspended New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez through the end of the 2014 season for using performance-enhancing drugs, lying to the MLB about said drug use and for hampering the league's investigation into the Biogenesis steroid scandal. The suspension begins Thursday and baseball's top earning player will not be allowed to play for a total of 211 games.
This is the official statement from the MLB's public relations:
Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today that third baseman Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 Championship Season and Postseason and the entire 2014 Championship Season for violations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and the Basic Agreement.
Rodriguez's discipline under the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program is based on his use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including Testosterone and human Growth Hormone, over the course of multiple years. Rodriguez's discipline under the Basic Agreement is for attempting to cover-up his violations of the Program by engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's investigation. The suspension, which will become effective on Thursday, August 8th, will cover 211 Championship Season games and any 2013 Postseason games in which Rodriguez otherwise would have been eligible to play.
Under the terms of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, Rodriguez's suspension will be stayed until the completion of his appeal if Rodriguez files a grievance challenging his discipline.
Per said grievance, Rodriguez has said he plans to challenge the suspension, meaning he will be allowed to play, is is expected to do so Monday against the Chicago White Sox, until the case is decided by an arbiter. That could be a very long process.
Rodriguez initially tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in 2003 while he was with the Texas Rangers. However, the results of the random testing that caught Rodriguez were supposed to remain anonymous and the New York Yankees offered to buy the Rangers out of their contract with the all-star to bring the highest paid man in baseball and the most successful franchise in baseball together. It was supposed to be an unbeatable combination. All he had to do was stay clean and out of trouble.
However, the results of the 2003 testing were published by Sports Illustrated in 2009 and in an attempt to save his good name, Rodriguez allegedly offered to buy evidence linking him to Biogenesis, the Miami clinic that distributed PEDs to many professional baseball players, from a clinic employee. That man, Anthony Bosch, went on to cooperate with the league's investigation. It was that move that led to his unprecedented 211-game suspension.
Rodriguez was not the only player punished Monday for their involvement with Biogenesis. Each of the other players, however, only received 50 game suspensions, they include:
Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers
Everth Cabrera of the San Diego Padres
Fautino De Los Santos of the San Diego Padres
Jhonny Peralta of the Detroit Tigers
Francisco Cervelli of the New York Yankees
Fernando Martinez of the New York Yankees
Jordany Valdespin of the New York Mets
Cesar Puello of the New York Mets
Antonio Bastardo of the Philadelphia Phillies
Sergio Escalona of the Houston Astros
Jesus Montero of the Seattle Mariners
Jordan Norberto, currently a free agent
In a tweet earlier today, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria, who is not involved in the scandal called it a "day of infamy for [the] MLB."
Ultimately, although today will be a day of infamy for MLB, it is a tremendous step in the right direction for the game we love.

Nina Dobrev: 'I'm Not A One Night Stand Kind Of Girl'
Though she may have split from co-star and longtime boyfriend Ian Somerhalder earlier this year, Nina Dobrev isn't look for a rebound.
The Vampire Diaries star graces the cover of Cosmopolitan's September 2013 issue, telling the publication that she's "I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others."
"You either have chemistry or you don't, but a lot of what attracts me is a guy's mind and humor and talent," the actress, who parted ways with Somerhalder after three years of dating, says.
"I need to get to know all those things before I fall for someone," she adds. "I'm not a one-night-stand kind of girl."
According to the 24-year-old, she likes men who "hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful."
"The guys on our show are really good at that," she continues. "A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive, but I also kind of like the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a-little-bit-of-scruff, effortless, not-trying-hard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's problem!"
And it certainly looks like single life is treating her well. Despite the breakup, Dobrev and Somerhalder are still on good terms and recently made an appearance together at the CW Upfronts and Vampire Diaries' Comic-Con panel.

Al Roker Overslept This Morning
Living out every professional's worst nightmare, affable TODAY show weatherman Al Roker on Tuesday admitted he overslept and missed Wake Up With Al, his equally affable-sounding morning program on The Weather Channel.
"After 39 years, it happened," the 58-year-old Tweeted at about 5:41AM.
Roker luckily woke up with enough time to make it to his main gig, where he was bullied by the likes of Matt Lauer, who called him "Rip van Roker" on Twitter.
To be fair, that's probably the nicest thing anyone has said to a fellow-TODAY staffer in months. But that's another story.

Let's Give Lindsay Lohan a Chance
The year was 2005. Lindsay Lohan had just stormed out of the Herbie Fully Loaded premiere, reportedly because a song she recorded for the movie was not used the way she wanted. Previously that year she'd been hospitalized for exhaustion; several months later, she'd be accused of drunkenly driving her car into a van on Robertson Boulevard (though a police report later confirmed that she was sober and not at fault). It was the year she turned 19.
For Lohan, 2005 was the beginning of a slippery slope that would see her transformed from working actress into tabloid fodder. Eight years (and seven stints in rehab) later, Lindsay Lohan is poised to change all that. One week ago today, Lindsay Lohan left treatment at Cliffside Malibu after a nearly 90-day stint. It was, compared to her previous rehab stays, relatively uneventful. Sure, Lohan switched facilities mid-treatment, but there were no late night escapes in search of a Diet Coke this time. By all means, America likes a comeback and Lohan is positioned to be the ultimate comeback kid.
It's been clear since day one that Lohan was something special. At the age of 17, she'd headlined three movies that grossed more than $65 million (The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday and Mean Girls). Certainly child stardom doesn't always translate into a successful acting career, just ask Macaulay Culkin, but Lohan showed off a more adult side in A Prairie Home Companion and while her latest, The Canyons, isn't exactly getting rave reviews, Variety's Scott Foundas called her a "fascinating presence," praising her performance as "one of those performances, like Marlon Brando's in Last Tango in Paris, that comes across as some uncanny conflagration of drama and autobiography."
Internet writers, myself included, have, for years, mocked Lohan's every move. And it was deserved. The girl who's saying she doesn't "need" rehab, calling it "a joke" while she can't seem to avoid breaking the law is clearly not taking herself seriously, and doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.
But, this time, so far, Lohan is taking the right steps. She's been laying low since leaving rehab, save for a light-hearted and self-deprecating appearance on Chelsea Lately. An informal poll of friends and colleagues tells me that most people would be thrilled to see Lohan fulfill the promise of her early-2000 s self. For Lohan, the formula is simple: keep your head down, work hard and impress us. Remind us why we loved you in the first place. We're eager to recall that feeling.

James Gandolfini Shows His Soft Side in 'Enough Said'
Here is the first trailer for Nicole Holofcener's Enough Said, a movie that will, unfortunately, always be known as James Gandolfini's final starring role. The film also stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Catherine Keener and Toni Collette, who's finally allowed to use her actual accent.
The movie is about Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini, the two begin dating but things get complicated when Louis-Dreyfus' character learns that her new boyfriend is the ex-husband of a new friend. Though Holofcener has said that Gandolfini "didn't believe he could play a romantic lead," he looks charming and sweet in this movie. Holofcener called his performance "subtle and moving and very, very lovely." Louis-Dreyfus also called his performance "incredible," saying: "He plays a really earnest, mild mannered, dear person. Frankly, very close to what he is [and] he was. I think he was a little bit insecure about it, but he did the most amazing job."
Enough Said will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Rebel Wilson: I Got Turned Away At Anna Kendrick's Birthday Party
Rebel Wilson may be winning hearts with movies like Bridesmaids and Bachelorette, but she sure isn't getting in the good books with Hollywood's bouncers.
In her latest interview with Cosmopolitan, the Australian actress – who'se currently promoting her new show Super Fun Night – recalls the time she was snubbed by a doorman at Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Kendrick's birthday bash. She tells the magazine:
In the pilot, my character gets invited to drinks, but she can't get into the club-that happened to me recently at Skybar. Anna Kendrick was having her birthday party there, and it was a fancy place. So I get there with Hana Mae Lee from Pitch Perfect, and I've got a birthday gift so I'm clearly going to the party, and this big huge bouncer wouldn't even look us in the face. We were like, "Hi"…and then two models came and he let them in.
"I didn't pull the Reese Witherspoon," Wilson continues, referring to the actress' infamous "Do you know my name?" disorderly conduct arrest.
"He had a list, and I said, 'Excuse me, we're on the list. We're here for Anna Kendrick's birthday party.' And then, eventually, he's like 'Okay, what's your name?'"
Yeah, because you really don't want to mess with someone who wears a b*tch necklace to an interview.

Riddick: 5 Elements They Nailed And 1 That Failed
Science fiction is one of those genres where the potential is only limited by scale and focus. It's easy to get lost in a sci-fi world full of detail when following a story or character arc (multiple ones, for that matter). But it's also easy to embroil people in a world or universe that has been around for quite some time, preferably the Riddick franchise.
In February of 2000, Pitch Black was released and was met with positive responses, with some even calling it one of the most wildly entertaining and inventive science fiction films of the generation. The scale was simple on film, but massive in possibilities, and the focus was set squarely on the setting, the character's struggles, and the enigmatic badass himself, Riddick. Four years later saw the release of The Chronicles of Riddick, which increased the scale but took away some of the focus, becoming a lesser favorite than that of Pitch Black. And ever since the bitter responses, fans have been waiting for nearly ten years for a sequel that brought back the epicness and surreal universe that is the Riddick franchise.
The year of 2013 has seen some wildly entertaining films during the summer quarter, some sequels, others origin stories, and some that were standalone releases that raised the heat to an already hot year for action films. The fourth quarter of 2013 saw the release of the aptly named Riddick, the third entry in the Riddick franchise that fans have been milling over for the past decade. Met with positive responses that haven't been high for the franchise since Pitch Black, Riddick has been selling the fans exactly what they asked for: the return of one of science fiction's most hard-nosed badasses.
As a fan of the series (and even a supporter of Chronicles), I was impressed with what David Twohy and Vin Diesel brought to the screen. Riddick was a return of not just Riddick himself, but of the style and attitude of both films prior. It carried over the survival aspect of Pitch Black and the tenacity of Chronicles. In all ways, it was a return to form for the series.
I walked out praising the film for a lot of reasons, and I was pleased with what I saw as a fan. There were things that caught my eye that had me going "Wow, now THAT's nice", and "Very clever reference." For devoted fans, it's an easter egg hunt for nearly the entire running time, but at the same time something new and fresh to digest.
But, in the end, there was something that also caught my attention that drug the experience down a few notches. It's forgivable, but still needs to be pointed out in the grand scheme of things.
In this article I will be stating 5 reasons why Riddick lived up to the expectations the fans and I had going for it. Each reason really gave the film its legs and strength, and each one made the overall experience one of the most of thrilling films of 2013 so far, even at the fourth quarter. But I will also be pointing out the 1 problem that stuck itself out like a sore thumb; let it be known that it doesn't ruin the film, but it does add a blemish that is in desperate need of explanation.
There is a SPOILER warning from this point forward, which gives away some important plot points that will shatter your enjoyment of the film, so skip forward with some discretion. Now, starting off with the 5 reasons why Riddick is great…..

6 Reasons Why Tom Hooper Should Direct The Justice League Movie
Whether we like it or not, the sequel to Man of Steel has been rushed into production with added Batman. For this writer, the first 40-odd minutes of Man of Steel- at least up to the point that our boy learns to fly- were on a level with Richard's Donner definitive original. But after so much promise, this intriguing reinvention turned into a generic, humourless, boring mess. Still, Henry Cavill was perfectly decent and the recent casting of Ben Affleck as the new Batman was a masterstroke- an opinion not shared by most of the internet.
Of course I'll give whatever-the-hell-this-Batman/Superman-film-is-called the benefit of the doubt, because let's face it, what fanboy isn't excited to finally see The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel on screen together for the first time, Snyder or no Snyder? But this is obviously the first step towards a Justice League movie. The rumours are flying that Affleck may direct that once it comes to fruition, but I don't think this will be the case. The obvious choice would be Zack Snyder, and I hope this isn't the case. Man of Steel was certainly his best film, but that isn't saying much.
DC's answer to The Avengers will inevitably be huge and make quite a profit whoever directs it. But one of the reasons that Marvel's huge gamble paid off, apart from the fanboy hype and 3D ticket prices, was the critical acclaim and word-of-mouth that encourages repeat viewings. This was down to a visionary like Joss Whedon and his witty script that clearly understood the potential of this unlikely team and took the whole concept seriously.
If Warner Brothers want their Justice League movie to actually be good as well as successful, they should take a risk- because let's face it, they can afford to with as sure-fire a hit as Justice League- and hire someone different, someone left-field. And ladies and gentlemen, I propose Tom Hooper, director of Les Miserables and The King's Speech, is that man. He's not the kind of director you'd expect to take on a comic-book property, especially one of this scale- but then, everyone said the same when it came to Kenneth Branagh, Bryan Singer, Christopher Nolan, Shane Black and Joss Whedon, and look how their films turned out!
Unfortunately, this seems one-hundred percent unlikely to happen, but one can dream. It seems inevitable it will be Snyder or Affleck directing off of a David Goyer script, but there's always a chance! So, read on for my explanation as to why Hooper is the perfect choice to helm what will likely be one of the biggest superhero team-ups of all time…

Definition - What does Network Termination Unit (NTU) mean?
A network termination unit (NTU) is a device that links the customer-premises equipment (CPE) to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The device serves as the last point of connection between the two. Typically, the service provider is the owner of the NTU, which usually supports various communication standards, including protocols and voltages, to allow different device types to communicate with the PSTN.
An NTU connects ISDN-based CPE to ISDN lines. It allows the CPE to be linked to the switching device at the central office (CO).
A digital ISDN CPE, like an ISDN phone or a router, normally includes an ISDN S/T interface, whereas the ISDN termination at the customer's end generally includes a U interface with an RJ-45 connector. The NTU transforms the ISDN line's U termination into one or more basic coding S/T interfaces. These interfaces are ideal for connecting routers, digital ISDN-ready phones as well as other types of equipment to an ISDN line.
An NTU works differently from an ISDN terminal adapter, which allows users to connect faxes, analog telephones and similar devices to an ISDN line. An NTU generally supports either a multipoint or a point-to-point connection across distances as long as 5.4 kilometers on 26-AWG twisted-pair copper cabling. Some modern ISDN-enabled devices have a built-in U interface, which makes an NTU unnecessary.

Sea Shepherd Global Stands ready to return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to defend the whales.
The U.S. Federal Court (9th District) continues to grant a temporary injunction against intervention by Sea Shepherd USA and myself despite the fact that the ICJ has declared Japanese "research whaling" to be illegal.
Thus Sea Shepherd and I are compelled by law to not intervene BUT Sea Shepherd everywhere else (outside of the USA) can lawfully intervene. And Sea Shepherd Global will do so and they will do so with all the determination, courage and resourcefulness they can muster.
The Australian Federal Court failed to stop them. The International Court of Justice has failed to stop them. The U.S. Federal Court has encouraged them. The international public condemns them. The scientific community condemns them.
The ships, officers and crew of Sea Shepherd Global however will continue to stop them and will continue to save the lives of whales as they continue to stop the unlawful eco-terrorist actions of these greedy Japanese whale poachers in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.

There is no doubt jewelry needs to be seen in person. And tried on, and examined minutely. Though photographs can be very descriptive, there is no substitute for the real thing. My beadwork is on exhibition at the Safety Harbor library until the end of June 2014. You can see it, and touch it, and try it on. And if you like it, you can buy it. Well, some of it. A couple of pieces have already sold – but I take commissions! Just email me – Contact.
Because invariably you get to meet the "artist", or get shown their work.
I try and find something nice to say amid the horror. Sometimes it's very difficult.
So when my friend told me – "Oh, my husband paints watercolours", I immediately went into grisly mode.
Then I looked at his work.
Tanya Dreams of Lowry World – watercolour by British artist Richard Harpin. 20cm x 29cm (This is my favourite).
Personally, I think you should go and see the rest of his work – Richard Harpin.
He paints in series, he has no formal training, he has a lovely eye for colour and story telling. He doesn't agree with me when I tell him he works in collage. And in fact, he is right, as collage is a primarily a technique where the whole artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms. In the art world this sometimes includes magazine and newspaper clippings, ribbons, paint, bits of colored or handmade papers, portions of other artwork or texts, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
However, he gets an idea or concept, then searches out the components and puts them together to make a whole. His work is illustrative and sharp edged with humorous elements. His subject matter vacillates from cutesy cats to flying middle aged ladies – and everything in between. He makes his own personal comment on what he sees and often with a dry sense of British humour.
These pieces are designed for the 2014 Bead Soup Blog Party 8 organised by Lori Anderson of Pretty Things. The reveal day is here. And these are the 2 pieces I created around the bead soup sent by Sally Russick.
Sally sent a ceramic decorative ring made by Jenny Davies-Reazor and I made it the focal of this bracelet.
The bracelet includes a tube of SuperDuo two hole beads in a really pretty stone colour, I used all of them except one! The spotted tile beads came from the stash I won from a Bead & Button magazine competition. Using peyote stitch I incorporated some brown size 8/0 picasso seed beads to make the bracelet strip. The toggle is made with the last 6 tile beads. Seriously – there are none left!
And a close-up of the clasp.
The bracelet is 8″ long from the tip of the toggle to the clasp, and is 1″ wide. It fits a wrist diameter of just over 7″.
She also sent a Swarovski crystal and sterling silver clasp and these shiny bronze coloured dagger beads. So I found a range of silver seed beads in different sizes and some Czech fire polish crystals and made a cubic right angle weave beaded bead necklace.
The necklace is designed around this Swarovski crystal and sterling silver clasp.
You can see the cubic right angle weave chain which is made with a spiral pattern of gunmetal and silver size 15/0 seed beads.
Here's a closeup of the crystals in the beaded chain.
The beaded bead is made with six sections of embellished cubic right angle weave joined with dagger beads.
Extremely fiddly to make but worth the effort.
The necklace is 25″ long.
Go and see what Sally made out of the bead soup I sent her – The Studio Sublime.
To see more work from the many jewelry artists who joined in go to this list – Bead Soup Blog Party 8 participants.
And for fun, go see what we made for last year's party.
Finally the SAQA 2014 Trunk Show has been put together, ready to tour the world for the next 3 years. I don't even want to think how much work it takes to put together such a thing. 407 pieces of artwork, all needing mounting, sealing, and notating. Then they are packed and shipped in 8 different trunks. Unbelievable.
My piece Subterranean Spiral is part of Trunk G.
I like the idea these little quilts are ambassadors for the astonishing amount of technique, talent, and sheer passion of the SAQA members.
And you can request to have a trunk show sent to your guild, library, exhibition space or just to have as part of a group critique. Just email TrunkShow@saqa.com and ask for details.

Framework for closer cooperation between EASA and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency
"Frontex increasingly relies on the use of aircraft to support the Member States in managing the EU's external borders. With the new agreement, our partnership with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency gets stronger and covers new areas," said Fabrice Leggeri.
Under the working arrangement, the agencies will exchange operational experience and may conduct joint capacity building and training related to Frontex's use of aircraft in its surveillance activities. EASA will assist Frontex in the selection of best providers and equipment, as well as in monitoring the safety of the operations of Frontex aircraft, including unmanned aircraft.
"We are happy to be able to support Frontex in its important task of protecting the external borders of the European Union," Patrick Ky said. "This cooperation will enhance the safety of border control and coast guard activities and also support wider safe usage of drones for border control."

Man reveals horrific abuse at the hands of his girlfriend
Yahoo News UK 18 February 2019

WARNING – DISTRESSING CONTENT: A man who was just days away from death when police rescued him from the grips of his violent girlfriend has told of how he was stabbed, burned, starved and isolated by the woman he thought he loved.
In an eye-opening documentary, Alex Skeel, from Bedfordshire in England, reveals the extent of the abuse he received at the hands of his controlling girlfriend, Jordan Worth.
"She used to say things like 'I don't really like the colour grey, I don't think you should wear the colour grey'," Mr Skeel, now 22, says in the BBC documentary 'Abused By My Girlfriend'.
"'Oh I don't like your hair like that, you should have your hair like this'.
"But I never took it as a negative. It was more like I won't wear it again – it won't impress her."
Mr Skeel and Worth met through friends in 2012 when they were both 16 years old and they quickly became a couple.
However, over the years Worth forced her partner to cut ties with his family, taking control of his phone and sending messages to his loved ones telling them not to talk to him anymore.
She told Mr Skeel his grandfather had died, and after he spent two hours crying and mourning the death, she revealed she had been lying.
Following the intense mental abuse, Worth then began starving her boyfriend, giving him just scraps of food to eat. He lost close to 20kg.
According to the documentary, the abuse turned violent in 2016. Worth would strike her partner with a hammer or any weapon she could find, and would throw boiling water on him as he slept.
On one occasion, after a beating with a hairbrush Mr Skeel was forced to rip out his own tooth as he wasn't allowed to seek treatment. When he needed urgent care for his burns from the scalding water, Worth also refused to let him have an operation.
He was forced to treat his second and third-degree burns with cling wrap, the BBC reported.

Finally, after neighbours witnessed Mr Skeel's constant stream of injuries and overheard one of the many violent beatings, police were called.
Mr Skeel was hesitant to reveal the truth behind his injuries out of fear of what Worth would do to him, but eventually he told the officers about his girlfriend's violent attacks.
In hospital, doctors told Mr Skeel he was 10 days away from death. He underwent operations to his brain, head and hands.
Worth was arrested, charged with grievous bodily harm and coercive controlling behaviour and was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in jail.
"People always ask me, why didn't you walk away – but it's so complicated," Mr Skeel said.
"As each day goes by I'm understanding it more."
Worth was jailed for seven-and-a-half years in April 2018 after pleading guilty to grievous bodily harm and coercive controlling behaviour.
The prosecution was the UK's first conviction for coercive control involving a female offender.

Q: is there any size of a circle where the area is an integer and the radius is an integer? The formula for the area of a circle is pi times the radius squared. The radius is the diameter divided by 2. Imagine a line, like the axis, but instead, it doesn't go past the edges. Now, the length of that line is the diameter.

A: This is not possible. To prove it, we will proceed by contradiction.
Let $A=n=\pi R^2$ and let $R=m$ where $n,m$ are positive integers.
Then $n=\pi m^2$, and so $\pi = \frac{n}{m^2}$. Therefore $\pi$ is rational, and we have a contradiction. Therefore, both of the claims (integer radius and area) cannot simultaneously hold.
(I.e. note that it is of course possible to have simply the radius an integer, or instead the area integer-valued, but this would necessarily make the other irrational.)

2) Take good with gratitude, don't be surprised by the bad. Good and bad instincts are both human qualities, though of higher and lower beings.
3) Life is a karma cycle – What goes in, comes out. Do more good than bad, you will have a good journey with good outcome. Do more bad than good, you will have a bad journey with bad outcome. the good you sow, you reap. The bad you do comes back to you. All this is via your vibration and peoples reaction to it.
4) Live one day at a time. Attend to one problem at a time.
5) Concentrate on path, not the destination. No happening will make you permanently happy. No tragedy lasts forever.
6) A spate of good luck is followed by bad. And vice versa. Nature belives in balance.
7) The harm done by many bad people is often upturned by the good done by a single man. The good done by many at times is offset by the bad done by one man.
8) What goes up comes down. Do not struggle to rise above your capabilities. Use effortless effort. A successful man happens to be at the right place at the right time.
9) Life is purposeless. Find interesting goals and discard worthless ones. Savour the moments without getting obsessed by the future.
10) Loneliness is a reality. One is really alone. Help others in distress and someone will think of helping you.
11) We all start and end at the same point, irrespective of money, status, etc It's the journey that matters.
· High moments: High will soon settle, so enjoy it to fullest.
· Routine moments: Are better than trouble, so relax and wait. Beware of Change. Change will only bring big success or big trouble.
· Low moments: Either you will die or the problem will die. If you are not going to die, then the problem certainly will.
