LAS VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS WINNING AGAIN ... From www.egamersguide.com Sports Director Gary Greene: “Many times in life, work, relationships, we will go thru ups and downs. The highs and lows are part of it all. The best example is the Las Vegas Knights Hockey Club. Last year from day one they never really suffered much tough adversity. They came out the gates winning and really had only one time of a tough streak to endure. This year, with some new players, some key players gone, and some key suspensions, the team came out the gate sluggish. They won only 9 of the first 22 games. For over a month they were forced for first time as this team unit to endure tough games, weeks, and really an entire month. Now they've won 9 of their last 11 games. Everything is clicking again. The best part now of the tough start is they now "KNOW" they can bounce back off some adversity and tough times. If you may be struggling or in a bad funk at work, family life, whatever, just grind thru it. You will soon enjoy a better time. Always remember you'd never fully enjoy the best of times if you never knew of the tough times. Keep GRINDING.” #sports#goldenknights Http://SCCGManagement.com.

SAYING GOODBYE TO INDIA AND THANKFUL FOR FRIENDSHIPS MADE HERE For those that have followed my travels in the past, I emphasize that exploring cultures in other counties is as much about the people than the business at hand. And I often comment about the universality of citizens of the world - there is much more that unites us than divides us. My trip to India has been no different as the experience has been remarkable not only for the sites and sounds and tastes but mostly for the people who I call business partners and friends ... for life. A heartfelt thank you to my host Madhu Avalur and my other partners: Pariekshit Maadishetti, Partha Madishetty, Harish Beeram & Andesh Bhatti. I have a 24 hour journey ahead of me to return to Las Vegas and I am comforted by the notion that the amazing memories made along the way on my first trip to India will keep me company. Thank you India!! Http://StephenACrystalEsq.com.

THE BEST SPORTING EVENT OF ALL: THE ARMY/NAVY GAME! From Gary Greene Sports Editor of www.egamersguide.com: “We get to witness once again the best sporting event we can ever watch. It’s exactly what makes sports in our country so great. Two teams of young adults who sacrifice it all for our country, and then also in their very brutal weekly schedules, they play a sport as well. For Navy, it will it's final game of 2018, as they had rough year going 3-9, so no Bowl game ahead. This is it for all their Seniors, one being a close family friends son. Army has a chance at it's second straight 10 win season. After 14 straight Navy wins, it was Army coming on top the past 2 years. Last year in the snow, it ended 14-13. Two years ago it was 21-17. Since 2011, they all were decided by a TD or less. The betting line tomorrow is (ARMY -6 1/2). Army beat Air Force 17-14, and Navy lost to Air Force 35-7. Army actually took #4 Oklahoma to Overtime, only to lose a heartbreaker 28-21. Neither Offense passes much, so it usually comes down to Turnovers. Take out some time to watch this game tomorrow. It will make you feel really good about our country and a chance to honor some young kids who are "true heroes". #sports#armynavy#collegefootball#usa
