And yet, it endures.

The war, and the occupation that followed, changed the course of history in Iraq and the wider region. Twenty years ago on this day, a US-led ground invasion of Iraq began. Death and destruction quickly became a common sight in the country. The war caused the deaths of more than 200,000 Iraqi civilians and 4,500 US soldiers and cost trillions of dollars. Chaos and instability gripped the whole region as a result of the invasion. #juveh #sammyjuveh #iraq #war https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBXjtHoDMk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🅳🅾🅽’🆃 🆀🆄🅸🆃 When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit— Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow— You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor’s cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out— The silver tint in the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It might be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit— It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit. ~Anonymous #juveh #sammyjuveh https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-nec6orUD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“It is not the critic who counts; Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, Or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; Who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; But who does actually strive to do the deeds; Who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; Who spends himself in a worthy cause; Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, And who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ~Theodore Roosevelt #juveh #sammyjuveh #themaninthearena https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-AorjIk6Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are mathematicians! "...We are merely explorers of infinity in the pursuit of absolute perfection. We do not invent these formulas. They already exist and lie in wait for only the very brightest of minds, like Ramanujan, ever to define and prove them." ~G. H. Hardy ~The Man Who Knew Infinity Happy Pi Day! Happy International Day of Mathematics. #juveh #sammyjuveh https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyXfF-oG4s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every March 14, mathematics enthusiasts from all over the globe commemorate Pi Day and the International Day of Mathematics (IDM). The day aims to raise awareness about the importance of mathematics and its role in shaping our world, as well as to promote the beauty and relevance of mathematics to a wider audience. This year’s theme is Mathematics for Everyone. What is pi and why is it important? Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately 3.14. Pi is one of the most famous symbols in mathematics and has many important applications in physics, engineering and statistics. While the idea of pi dates back thousands of years, it was only in the early 1700s when the Greek letter for p, or π, was used to represent the mathematical constant. It is believed that π was chosen as an abbreviation of periphery or perimeter which measures the distance around the outside of the circle, also known as a circle’s circumference. Why is Pi Day celebrated on March 14? March 14 can also be written as 3/14 in the month/day format, which matches the first three digits of the numerical value of pi. The celebration of Pi Day began on March 14, 1988, at the San Francisco Exploratorium, where physicist Larry Shaw organised a celebration to make mathematics more relatable and fun. March 14, 1879, also happens to be the birthday of Albert Einstein, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. Karl Marx died March 14, 1883! Stephen Hawking died March 14, 2018! On March 14, many events and activities are organised globally to mark the famous symbol. Some of these activities include: Memorise all of pi. Competitions are held in mathematics classrooms and online to see who can remember the most digits of pi. In March 2015, Rajveer Meena, a 21-year-old student at VIT University, Vellore, India, set the Guinness World record by memorising 70,000 digits of pi, a remarkable feat that took him nearly 10 hours to recall. Pi is a special type of number in mathematics - it is irrational and never-ending. Happy Pi Day! Happy International Day of Mathematics.

A story of redemption! This book reminds me, always, of the possibility of redemption for even the 'worst' of all humans. There are certain understandings, revelations, moments, memories, books, that stay with “you” forever. This is one of them! And I won’t forget the statement, “…no matter what anyone teaches, there is only ONE sin, only one. And that is THEFT. Every other sin is a variation of theft.” Sad stories indeed make good books. #juveh #sammyjuveh #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxFk1So1GK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If the story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull can be summarised in a single line, it would be: "You must give yourself the permission to dream, to risk; You must set yourself free." Jonathan Livingston Seagull did, and he never regretted it. The story of Jonathan Livingston Seagull remains a good read for people who follow their hearts, take risks, allow themselves to dream and pursue the dream with passion. #bookstagram #juveh #sammyjuveh https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpv-RdoIFgC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🆃🅾 🅺🅸🅻🅻 🅰 🅼🅾🅲🅺🅸🅽🅶🅱🅸🆁🅳 In the United States of America, a black man was charged wrongly, with the rape of a white girl. A white attorney risks everything to defend the negro unjustly accused of the terrible crime! The aforementioned lawyer was Atticus Finch — a great attorney; a great father, though fictional! John Grisham wrote in Bryan Stevenson's JUST MERCY, "Not since Atticus Finch has a fearless and committed lawyer made such a difference in the American South. Though larger than life, Atticus exists only in fiction..." This is a story about racial injustice and the corruption of innocence in the United States of America, and not just that, the unfairness of being a poor man in a criminal justice system that treats you better if you are rich and guilty than if you are poor and innocent! It is a story about the reality of the injustice we create as humans (not just in the United States of America now) when we allow #fear #anger #hatred and #distance to shape the way we treat others. The greatest literary ONE HIT WONDER to me, as of now, still remains TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (I haven't read many though)... "...People who write for reward by way of recognition or monetary gain don't know what they're doing. They're in the category of those who write; they are not writers" — Harper Lee📍📌💯👌 According to her, people in their right minds never take pride in their talents📌 In 1961, Harper Lee became the only author to win the Pulitzer Prize for her first and only novel, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD🙌 In one of her only interviews where Harper Lee gives advice to young writers, captures on audio in 1964, she says, "...you know the character Boo Radley? Well, if you know Boo, then you understand why I wouldn't be doing an interview. Because I am really Boo." Write to please an audience of one: yourself; she says! Author Harper Lee loved writing but resisted interviews, granting just a handful in the fifty-six years that followed the publication of her Pulitzer Prize winning 1960 novel. The story took place during three years (1933 — 1935) of the Great Depression and was told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch #bookstagram #juveh https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpv8b7uIiXU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
