Arsenal transfer news: Alexis Sanchez is leaving Gunners - Andy Goldstein

  Sanchez, 28, has refused to sign a new deal at the Emirates and hes being eyed up by Manchester City.

The Chile superstars priorities are said to be trophies - not cash - and hes willing to take a pay-cut to go.

But Monaco want him too and they are willing to put a £45million bid on the table to get their man. Arsene Wenger is publicly insisting Sanchez is going nowhere but Goldstein has other ideas.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Goldstein said: It looks like Monaco will today make a bid of around £45milion for Alexis Sanchez It looks like he will go, Sanchez.

It might be Monaco, it might be Manchester City, but hes going to go. You know that, I know that and Arsene Wenger knows that as well.

I think its a guarantee. Sanchez was granted an extended summer break after playing for Chile in the Confederations Cup and his return to training was delayed due to illness.

The only thing I can tell you is he is focused, said Wenger.

  My decision is clear - he will stay and he will respect that.   Wenger has now vowed not to speak about Sanchezs future and said: It is not information anymore, it is suicide.

  He will be here for this season and if we manage to do it for more seasons, we will do it as well..

Study One of the Keys to a Happy Life is Being a Generous Person

By Seth Pollard

Let�s be honest for a moment.

You�d probably be thrilled to have a cool million or 2 in the bank.

Money can�t buy happiness, as the saying goes, but what you do with your money (as

well as time and talents, for that matter) might have an awful lot to do with your quality

of life.

Sure, doing something nice for someone else feels nice, but a recent study suggests that

generosity has a positive biological effect on the brain.

For the study, published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Zurich in

Switzerland told 50 people they would receive $100 over a few weeks.

The team asked 25 of the individuals to use the money only on themselves, and asked the

other 25 participants to spend it on someone they knew.

The researchers wanted to know: Would the mere promise to spend the money on someone

else be enough to make people happier?

Before handing out the first batch of cash, the researchers brought those in the give-away

group into the lab and asked them to think about a friend they�d like to give a gift

to and how much they would hypothetically spend.

Then, the participants underwent functional MRI scans so researchers could measure activity

in 3 regions of the brain associated with social behavior, generosity, happiness, and

decision-making.

Those who had pledged to spend the money on other people were more likely to make generous

decisions throughout the duration of the experiment, the team found, compared to those who had

pledged to spend the money on themselves.

The group�s MRI�s showed more interaction between the parts of the brain associated

with altruism and happiness, and the participants expressed higher levels of happiness after

the study ended.

Furthermore, it didn�t matter how generous people were.

Even giving away a small amount of cash impacted the participants� happiness in the same

way.

Lead author Philippe Tobler, associate professor of neuroeconomics and social neuroscience,

said:

�At least in our study, the amount spent did not matter.

It is worth keeping in mind that even little things have a beneficial effect � like bringing

coffee to one�s office mates in the morning.� He added:

�You don�t need to become a self-sacrificing martyr to feel happier.

Just being a little more generous will suffice.� [2]

Co-author Soyoung Park says many questions remain unanswered.

[3]

�There are still some open questions, such as: Can communication between these brain

regions be trained and strengthened?

If so, how?

And, does the effect last when it is used deliberately, that is, if a person only behaves

generously in order to feel happier?� Earlier studies have shown that older people

who are generous tend to be in better physical shape.

Some research has even suggested that spending money on other people is as effective as medication

or exercise for lowering blood pressure.

[1]

So the next time you feel like treating yourself, consider treating someone else instead.

It might make you feel even better.

Tobler said:

�It is worth giving it a shot, even if you think it would not work.

In order to reap health benefits, repeated practice is probably needed so that giving

becomes second nature.�

Hunter S Thompson says Jimmy Carter is ruthless, 1977 CBC 360p - Duration: 3:02.

I think he [Jimmy Carter] is one of the three meanest

men I've ever met. The other two were Mohammed Ali

and Sonny Barter, the president of the Hells Angels.

Those three men are a whole cut above

everybody else I've ever run into in

terms of sheer functional meanness.

Functional meanness? -Yeah, well, meaning the

ability to get from A to B, C, M,

Z, whatever you want. Carter would have cut my

head off to carry North Dakota,

cut your legs off to carry a ward in the Bronx,

and never apologize for it.

He understands the system. That's why he won.

That's really all I said. I admire that—

a person who played the game as

well as he did, and in the sort of magnolia

shade that he'd played it in for a while.

He was perceived as sort of a southern dingbat,

but I saw him push Teddy

Kennedy around down in Athens and Atlanta.

I had never seen Kennedy pushed

around anywhere in any room, and I was stunned.

I thought "oh-ho." This was 1974.

I thought, "Whoops. This is a bad one. You have to watch him."

And sure enough he announced he was going to run for president

four or five months later. When he did,

I thought I had to go see him.

I thought I should talk to this man.

Were you as impressed by his

references to Bob Dylan and things as

you appeared to be, or were you're doing

another little bit of ibogaine writing?

No, what he did in that speech—that I

constantly referred to in the article

which Rolling Stone did not run, which left me hanging

out in some hideous slum—he just seriously

whipsawed all these

lawyers at the Law Day Alumni

Speech, and this wasn't just the alumni

of the University of Georgia Law School.

It was the distinguished alumni, Dean Rusk,

all of them state senators, judges. He just beat

the hell out of them. He had been governor for

3 & 1/2 years and they had given him a hard time.

The whole establishment had been against him

and he stomped on them in public.

I had never seen a politician do that before,

and he just pushed Teddy [Kennedy] aside:

"Outta my way. I got work to do. Move aside."

And Kennedy was stunned. I was stunned.

I don't tape politicians' speeches normally,

but about ten minutes into it

I went to the car and got my

tape recorder because I'd never

heard anything like this,

and I still haven't, from Carter, either. -But what you're

impressed by is the toughness

and the naked… -Oh, yeah, he will eat your

shoulder right off if he thinks it's right.

Have you changed your

original impressions of him since he

came to power?

No, that's what I said he was going to do,

that's what he's doing. He's just eating

Russian shoulders right now instead of Humphreys'.

Fish on a sideline is reading AK47's mind :-)

AK47 seems to like hopping around with his Knights.
