LTE EPS mobility management timers - EMM timers

Lately many times I had to reach towards the EPS Mobility Management (EMM) timers, because it took me some time to google them here you go. Hope any one will find them as useful I did. 
In the two tables you can easily find the times name it's default or suggested value, what is triggering it and what happens in case it will finally expire.
