Hi, I’m Dr. Lauren! Read my introduction to learn more about me and my two adventurous cats, Pancake and Tiller.
OK, I’m just going to say it. Size matters.
When it comes to cat carriers, that is.
Cat carriers are the bane of many cat owners’ existence…and one of the most common reasons people miss their vet appointments (“I couldn’t get her into the carrier! She scratched me and then ran off”). I’ve literally had people chase their cat around the house for hours before an appointment, and I promise, no one is benefiting from that situation!
Imagine for a moment: you’re having your morning coffee, maybe your bran flakes…and whoosh! Someone runs into the kitchen, throws you into a giant box, tumbles you around, takes you into something that smells terrible and makes lots of loud noise and you can’t stand up because it’s constantly moving and you feel sick, you hear strange people talking, dogs barking…and suddenly you’re dumped out of this box, and standing in wait are your gynecologist, your internist, your cardiologist, your dentist, your urologist, your gastroenterologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your dermatologist… and you’re at their mercy. You might be a tad grumpy to have had your coffee ritual interrupted, too.
Remember, it’s not all that different for a cat. It may make a strong point, but it’s not dissimilar.
What Can You Do About It?
Glad you asked!
There are a number of general rules of thumb when it comes to cat carriers. And remember, these are simply rules of thumb. If a carrier is to a cat as a car is to a human: remember that all humans don’t like the same style of car. Neither should cats.
Rules of Thumb For Cat Carriers
- Most cats prefer a size big enough for them to stand, turn around easily, and sit comfortably upright
- It should be hard-sided, or able to maintain its shape (e.g. not collapse) when the door is opened
- Speaking of doors, at least 2 entry/exit points. So a door and the top easily comes off, or a door and the top unzips, or a front and top door
- At least one, ideally both, entry points need to be larger than your cat. This prevents shoulders and feet from easily getting stuck, and therefore getting cats in and out of carriers from becoming a nightmare
- Beds that are carriers (the convertibles of the cat carrier world!) are improving exponentially- and many cats really like them. Some are even crash-tested, as the one linked here.
- Bubble backpacks get a lot of flack, of late. On one hand, they are trendy…but behaviorists think cats hate them. I’ve yet to get a cat to give me a definitive answer, but I’ve seen feline practice in big European cities… where most people walk their cats to appointments from their homes, anywhere from a few blocks to many blocks. In instances like that, the cat is up high, they are a bit more soundproof, the cat has some visibility but can still hide… Not saying these carriers are perfect, but they are probably better than a traditional carrier at dog level, with lots of noise and smells wafting right in.
- Dog crates can be good for big breeds like Maine Coons and Bengals. Though, you may want to add wheels. I’ve even seen them come in on red flyer wagons before!
- When all else fails: pillowcases make a great emergency carrier for a cat!
Using the Carrier
One of the trickiest parts about a carrier is its usage. Such a simple thing, that can become so complicated when you add one single ingredient: the cat.
I’ll be honest, rarely does putting your cat headfirst into a carrier work. They are masters at wriggling out. If you do go this route, do it confidently, and don’t hesitate. You generally get one chance to get it right.
I prefer the tip method:
- Tip the carrier on its end, and have someone hold it for stability.
- Cup your cat’s butt, and slide them butt first into the carrier.
- Generally, this is done before your cat knows what is happening, and far less stress than trying to stuff an unwilling cat headfirst into the carrier.
- When it doesn’t work, the most common reason is that the door of the carrier is too narrow: their butt and shoulders almost touch the sides, so it’s easy for these to become stuck as you are trying to place the cat inside.
Final Thoughts On Cat Carriers
Teach cats at a young age to see the carrier as a commonplace item. Allow them treats in the carrier, and leave it out for them to sleep in on a regular basis- even if you simply take off the front door to allow easy access. Don’t simply get it out the day you want to use it!
Keep the carrier clean, when not in use. Cats can vomit, urinate, defecate, and shed inside the carrier during travel- clean it out after use. Would you want to be shoved into a car with months’ old dirt, and expect that to be a fun journey? Pheromone sprays and wipes can also be used to further reduce travel stress. Put some treats, and a favorite toy or blanket, in, as well.
Treat carriers a bit like your car, because, essentially, to a cat, that’s what they are. If they are broken, fix them. Keep them clean, tidy, and ready for daily use. Sometimes, the new fancy ones have some bells and whistles that work really well, and look very stylish. And sometimes, the old-fashioned ones do it best. Regardless, a carrier is essential for cat ownership—just go with what works for you, and your cat.

Israel has imposed a “total siege” to stop food and fuel from reaching the enclave of 2.3 million people, many poor and dependent on aid in response to a surprise Hamas offensive on October 7 that left 1,300 Israelis dead, according to officials.
After it suffered the deadliest attack in its history, Israel unleashed a relentless bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip that has flattened neighbourhoods and killed at least 2,670 people, mainly civilians.
The statement by the premier comes a day after Foreign Minister Jalil Abbas Jilani slammed Israel for “committing a genocide” against Palestinians and said the grave situation stemmed from seven decades of illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories.
In a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kakar said, “Pakistan is deeply concerned on the ongoing violence and loss of life in Gaza. We stand in solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and call for an immediate ceasefire and lifting of the blockade in Gaza.”
He said that the violence needed to be viewed in “the context of years of forced and illegal occupation of Palestinian territory and repressive policies against its people”.
“The UN and international community must immediately act to open safe and unrestricted humanitarian corridors for transportation of urgently needed relief supplies to the besieged Gaza,” he said.
The prime minister added that Pakistan was closely coordinating with the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and its member states on the “fast deteriorating situation” in Gaza.
He said that the foreign minister would also be attending an emergency meeting of the OIC’s executive committee on October 18 and “call for urgent action to alleviate the suffering of people of Gaza”.
One million Gazans flee as Israel readies for ground attack
More than one million people have fled their homes in Gaza in scenes of chaos and despair as Israel bombarded the Hamas-ruled territory and continued massing troops on Monday in preparation for a full-blown ground invasion.
Following an Israeli order to move to the south of the Gaza Strip, people have fled their homes in the north of the enclave to seek shelter wherever they can, including on the streets and in UN-run schools.
Palestinians carrying whatever belongings they can, in bags and suitcases, or packed onto three-wheeled motorbikes, battered cars, vans and even donkey carts have become a common sight.
“No electricity, no water, no internet. I feel like I’m losing my humanity,” said Mona Abdel Hamid, 55, who fled Gaza City to Rafah in the south of the enclave, and is having to stay with strangers.
US President Joe Biden said in an interview with the CBS news programme ‘60 Minutes’ that while invading and “taking out the extremists” was needed, any move by Israel to occupy Gaza would be a “big mistake”.
Biden said he believed Hamas must be eliminated but there should be a path to a Palestinian state.
‘Verge of abyss’
A bereaved and infuriated Israel has massed forces outside the long-blockaded enclave of 2.4 million in preparation for what the army has said would be a land, air and sea attack involving a “significant ground operation”.
“We are at the beginning of intense or enhanced military operations in Gaza City,” spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Jonathan Conricus said. “It would be unsafe for civilians to stay there,” he added.
Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah have warned that an invasion of Gaza would be met with a response.
“No one can guarantee the control of the situation and the non-expansion of the conflicts” if Israel sends its soldiers into Gaza, said Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
Fire along the Israeli-Lebanese border has intensified in the last week, prompting Israel to shutter the area to civilians.
On Sunday, a rocket hit the UN peacekeeping base in southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah attacks killed one person in Israel, the Israeli military said. At least 11 people have been killed in Lebanon and at least two in Israel in the past week.
Among those killed in Lebanon was a Reuters journalist, Issam Abdallah.
US State Secretary Antony Blinken was due to hold talks in Israel on Monday after a crisis tour of Middle Eastern countries in a frantic attempt to avert a wider crisis in the volatile region.
But as Israel seeks to avenge the brutal attack that also saw Hamas fighters take scores of hostages, the Arab League and African Union have warned an invasion could lead to “a genocide”.
UN chief Antonio Guterres has warned that the entire region was “on the verge of the abyss”.
Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said his country had “no interest in a war in the north, we don’t want to escalate the situation”.
The United States, which has given unequivocal backing to Israel, has sent two aircraft carriers to the eastern Mediterranean as a deterrent.
The White House has voiced fears at the prospect of Iran becoming “directly engaged”, after Tehran praised the Hamas attack but insisted it was not involved.
Biden, asked in the ‘60 Minutes’ interview whether US troops might join the war, said “I don’t think that’s necessary”.
“Israel has one of the finest fighting forces … I guarantee we’re gonna provide them everything they need,” he said.
The United States has also appealed to China to use its influence in the region to ease tensions.
On Sunday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Israel’s response had “gone beyond the scope of self-defence”, and demanded that it “cease its collective punishment of the people of Gaza”.
Aid agencies’ alarm
Massing thousands of troops and heavy weaponry in the desert south of the country, the Israeli military has said it is awaiting the “political” green light to go into northern Gaza.
The army has told 1.1 million Palestinians in the north of the Gaza Strip to head to the south of the enclave.
But Israeli air strikes were continuing in the south of Gaza, including in Khan Yunis and Rafah, where one resident said a doctor’s house was targeted. “All the family was wiped out,” said Khamis Abu Hilal.
The UN said on Monday that 47 entire families, amounting to around 500 people, have been killed in Israel’s bombing campaign.
Foreign governments and aid agencies, including the UN and Red Cross, have repeatedly criticised Israel’s evacuation order.
The UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees said on Sunday that some one million Palestinians had already been displaced in the first week of the conflict — but the number was likely to be higher.
Lynn Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, decried that Israel was connecting humanitarian aid into Gaza with the release of scores of hostages kidnapped during the Hamas attack.
“Neither should be conditional,” she insisted in a video posted by the UN. “They have said they want to destroy Hamas, but their current trajectory is going to destroy Gaza.”
In Gaza, hospitals are becoming overwhelmed with increasing numbers of dead and injured, with officials saying Sunday that some 9,600 people have been wounded.
Israeli energy minister Israel Katz on Sunday said water supplies to southern Gaza had been switched back on.
But power outages threaten to cripple life-support systems, from sea water desalination plants to food refrigeration and hospital incubators.
Even everyday functions — from going to the toilet, showering and washing clothes — are almost impossible, locals said.
Gazans are effectively trapped, with Israeli-controlled crossings closed and Egypt also having shut the Rafah border in the south.
Blinken said he was confident the crossing “will be open” for aid into the strip, amid reports that Egypt was blocking the passage of Gazans with foreign passports until relief supplies are allowed in.
He categorically rejected the idea floated of expelling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

The heat pump starts, no error message is displayed, but it does not heat up.
When the heat pump does not heat up, it may come from the compressor that does not start or from insufficient running time.
1 / the compressor
For the heat pump to heat up, make sure the compressor starts. To do this please check the pressure gauge that the needle goes up when the heat pump starts.
Example of a manometer:
When stopped In operation
- If the needle does not go up, please refer to the "condenser problem" section (see FAQ "the compressor does not start)
- If the needle goes up, the compressor starts: the heat pump generates a lot of heat. The problem would come from the operating time.
2 / The operating time
In order to maximize the performance of your heat pump, make sure that the installation instructions are followed. To reach the desired temperature, we advise you to operate the heat pump (as well as filtration) 24H / 24H until the desired temperature is reached. Once reached, you can then decrease the operating time to maintain the temperature of the water.
The condition of the evaporator also affects the performance of the PAC. So make sure it is clean. For this, Cleanpac cleaner will be perfect.

Canadian medical cannabis producers looking to expand overseas
Licensed medical cannabis producers in Canada are looking to expand overseas, while Ottawa works on its plan to legalise recreational marijuana next spring. Two producers recently secured licenses to sell products in Europe.
The most recent company to announce plans to export marijuana is Canopy Growth Corp, the largest licensed producer in Canada.
Canopy Growth said it will begin selling dried cannabis in pharmacies across Germany after securing an export licence from Health Canada on Wednesday. The company added that it had forged partnerships in which it will share its technical expertise with medical marijuana companies in Brazil and Australia.
Germany will legalise medical marijuana next year; Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton said: “This is a very substantial market, and it’s probably the best place to enter the European Union from”.
Last month, British Columbia-based Tilray announced that it had shipped cannabis oil capsules to patients in Croatia for the first time.
John Fowler, President of Supreme Pharmaceuticals, said licensed Canadian producers are already working under a “world-leading regulatory scheme” for medical marijuana. Therefore, they offer an attractive opportunity for other governments who want to create their own federal system for growing and delivering the drug.
“Other countries are looking both at our regulator and at our regulated companies,” he said.

Sexual Ethics and Islam: Feminist Reflections on Qur'an, Hadith and Jurisprudence
Oneworld Publications, 2006 M07 6 - 192 pages
Whether exploring the thorny issues of wives' sexual duties, divorce, homosexuality, or sex outside marriage, discussions of sexual ethics and Islam often spark heated conflict rather than reasoned argument. In this ground-breaking, lucid, and carefully constructed work, feminist Muslim scholar Dr Kecia Ali asks how one can determine what makes sex lawful and ethical in the sight of God. Drawing on both revealed and interpretative Muslim texts, Ali critiques medieval and contemporary commentators alike to produce a balanced and comprehensive study of a subject both sensitive and urgent, making this an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and interested readers.

The name of jaw crusher comes from the jaw plate of crusher needed for crushing. Jaw crusher is used for coarse crushing and.
The advantages of jaw crusher are simple design, easy maintenance and repair. One of the disadvantages is that the vibration quality is large, so the power consumption is high in the process of operation. In this study, the interaction between the walls of jaw crusher is discussed.

Jaw crushers reduce large rocks or ores by compression. Use crusher to apply mechanical pressure. Two jaw plates, one fixed, the other reciprocating. The large eccentricity of the pitman shaft provides a movement to pull the material to the bottom of the straight bore of the spherical self-aligning roller bearing in the jaw plate.
TST jaw crusher is designed for trouble free operation, which is characterized by safety and easy maintenance. To date, state-of-the-art analytical techniques and capabilities ensure a robust and reliable crusher design. TST is equipped with an efficient modular framework for crushing motion and a simple low maintenance design to handle it.
In this case, a roller or jaw crusher is used, which is a rock or block crusher with two hardened manganese steel jaw plates, one of which is in relative motion and the other is stationary, while the roller crusher uses two.
One year ago, edem pro's jaw crusher simulation this video shows the analysis of jaw crushing process of different materials of iron ore, limestone and granulite. The edems crushing model based on Tavares ufrj allows accurate simulation of the real process by simulating the complex motion of continuous feed rate and swinging jaw plate.

The latter half of my youth revolved around hoops, orbiting wide rings, listening out for the net’s swish, attempting to make more fluid, more instinctive, ‘mo’ butter’ the complex body geometry of knowing instinctively how far you are from the ring at any time, how much palm-thrust and fingertip is needed to sail the basketball through. At 17, I developed exercise-induced-asthma, thus ended my hoop dreams. It was a painful breakup. I stopped watching my team play, felt betrayed by my body and tried to forget myself; I read books. Years passed before I felt comfortable enough to watch a game, and even longer before I stepped onto a court, knowing I was a shadow of my younger self.
The return came after a clip I stumbled across on the net: slow motion footage of a 360 dunk. A kid, half ogre, half figure-skater twirled upwards through a thorn-bush of arms, and everything seemed to make sense, I’d found a new way to connect with the game. It was a number of things: to dunk so gracefully meant time spent perfecting craft. To rise against opposing arms was a quest to define oneself against history. To twirl upwards, suggested style and such daring… The slow motion footage was a controlled, precise, timed. In short, I’d found poetry.
I started playing again last summer, every Wednesday, 6pm. I found a herd of nerds with ball in their history, who spend far too much time as I do hunched over a laptop. Roughly of equal physical fitness; what we lack in talent, natural flair and lung capacity, we make up for with gusto and enthusiasm. I was surprised at how easy it all came back, whirl winding hands, fade-aways, weak screens, all the bad habits my coach failed to grill out of me. In October, the poetry class I attend began again, every Wednesday, 6pm. I had to make a difficult choice. I miss the nerds. They also play on Saturdays at 11, but those sessions are less attended and lack something of the after-work-release that comes with the Wednesday sessions. Every time I go to class I’m aware of my decision. Verse and basketball bounce around my head and I try to find similarities between them; I’ve begun to think of the process of composing a poem, as a coach might stitch a team together. There are five positions…
1) The Point Guard. Usually the best handler and passer, the guard is the playmaker, where everything begins. I liken this position to the ‘Idea’ behind a poem, its heart. What is being said, what’s the topic? What subject is engaged?
2) The Shooting Guard. Typically the best shot, able to hit long range, to drive the ball toward the net and create shots off the dribble. I imagine this to be the structure of a poem, its skeleton, the scaffold that drives the idea forward, giving it shape, sometimes forcing flourishes of language.
3) The Small Forward. Typically, shorter, quicker and leaner, considered the most versatile of all the main positions, a role which is sometimes the power forward of the shooting guard. For me, this is the breath, the sound, the vocabulary of a poem. Sometimes a poem is just this; its musicality drives as much as its form.
4) The Power Forward. A role similar to the centre, the power forward is down, fighting and forcing through. I imagine this to be the imagery, metaphor, smile, alliteration, assonance, metonym, those cliché filthy tricks we shy away from using in contemporary…
5) Last but not the least, the Centre. Usually, this is the tallest player on the team, who plays close to the baseline, catches the rebounds, blocks shots, scores closest to the basket, it is the most pivotal position of all the five. In poetry, this is the transformation, the spirit, when a poems leaps over language, over the geometry of what has come before to show something new and unexplained.
I was published in the Salt Book of Younger poets. The anthology was released last year ago and the editor, Roddy Lumsden, called to request one more poem from me, one we’d critiqued in the class. He specifically asked for ‘Portrait of Prometheus as a Basketball Player’, a poem where I imagined the fire stolen from the gods to be shaped as a basketball, and Prometheus dunking light into the world. On the phone, before agreeing, I paused, and took a long moment to smile.

New Takes On Cookie Jars And Candy Dishes By Jonathan Adler
I don’t know — do people still have cookie jars? When I was growing up, the cookies never lasted long enough to make it into a jar anyway. But I think at one point cookie jars were a thing, and it looks like Jonathan Adler is singlehandedly trying to bring them back. See below.

Taking a step into the wondrous and complex land of commercial property ownership for the very first time might feel a tad bit daunting, but by keeping the helpful tips listed below in mind, you will soon find yourself owning commercial property, and you will know how to save more money while doing so.
Investing in commercial real estate can be a very beneficial investment to make. Think of buying an apartment complex with less than five units to avoid the necessary commercial financing that can be rather difficult to get and a hassle to do so. This will bring in enough money in many cases to pay the mortgage that you have and in several years, that will all be profit.
You can round out your portfolio by investing in commercial real estate. Make sure to do your homework and realize that there are a few different playing rules in the commercial real estate market compared to the residential real estate market. There is great potential in owning commercial real estate, just do your homework well before investing.
Test the wiring in the house before you rent it. It is inexpensive, easy and fast to check the outlets to make sure the wiring is correct. Faulty wiring can not only present a fire hazard, but may also damage your sensitive electronics such as computers and TVs. Ask the landlord to make the necessary repairs before you sign the lease.
Before signing a lease agreement for an apartment or house rental, make sure you ask if they have a dumpster you can use to dispose of your trash or if you must pay separately for your trash to be removed. Some places even go as far as to tell you that you have to purchase a uniform trash can in a certain color with a maximum number of 2 bins allowed. Make sure you talk to your future landlord before signing anything.
So, after reading and applying the helpful tips listed above, you should feel a bit more at ease in the land of commercial property ownership. You have the tools; it’s time to use them. You should feel empowered and ready to begin owning commercial property much smarter to avoid unexpected issues that could cause you to lose money.

I’m sitting here in Entebbe, Uganda listing to the sound of traffic and muffled conversations in Luganda. For the past two weeks, I’ve been traveling around both Kenya and Uganda meeting the children and families Childcare Worldwide serves. It’s been an eye-opening and humbling experience.
The families we serve are poor. And that’s clear when you see their mud houses with dirt floors, buzzing with flies. None of that surprised me – I knew their lives looked very different from my own. What did surprise me was the similarities I found between myself and these families.
In Kenya, I sat in Leah’s home with her mother and her brother. Leah is sponsored by Childcare Worldwide, and currently finishing a cosmetology program, which will allow her to make a living braiding hair. They recently moved. Now, they rent a single room in a long skinny mud structure that they share with other families. In their room, there is a bed at the back, and some dilapidated chairs at the front. But just like I do when I move into a new place, they had clearly taken great pains to make this small room a home. It was so clear they took pride in keeping their home as neat as possible. A curtain was carefully hung across the middle to separate the bed from the sitting area. Cheap chairs were carefully covered with bits of lace fabric. Much of the mud walls were hidden behind curtains as well. It was dark, and dusty inside, but love filled that home.
I also visited the home of another sponsored child, Nelson, and listened to his mother proudly explain that her son was currently away at school. Nelson is finishing up his degree: he will graduate in September with a certificate in agribusiness. Again, that house was dark and dusty. Flies were buzzing everywhere. They cook outside over a simple fire pit, and have to haul all their water from far away. I can’t imagine living in those conditions. But I recognized the look in that mom’s eyes as she talked about her son’s graduation. It’s the same look my own mom gets when she’s talking about me and my sister.
In Uganda, we visited Lukia’s home. This precious grandmother is caring for six grandchildren. Her house was quite crowded with all of us in it. The toddler squirmed among her siblings, hardly able to find a space of her own on the dirt floor. As we chatted, the older children decided to sing for us. Since it’s Uganda, they started dancing as well. They laughed, sang and danced their way around the room, just as I do in my kitchen (although, they have considerably more musical talent than I do!)
We visited many other homes as well, and in each one we took a moment to pray with the family. As we asked God for His protection and blessings on each home, I inevitably had to blink back tears. Despite all the outward differences, the things we were asking God to give each family are the same things I ask for my own family.
It’s easy to focus on the things that separate us. But it’s so humbling to recognize the things that make us the same.
Each family and child I’ve met on this journey reminds me why we do this work. Every one of us is a human being, created in God’s image. I happened to be born in America, with all the privileges that brings. But these kids didn’t. Instead, they were born into poverty. And if we can do something, even something small, to help them, to affirm their humanity, and to love them like Jesus loves them, it’s all worth it.
Childcare Worldwide is grateful to partner with generous people all over the world to build a better life for kids in need. If you’re interested in sharing the Gospel with a child, learn more here.

No one should be throwing stones at the police, or the police quarters. No one should be breaking windows, setting things on fire and defacing the national flag and insignia. It is wrong to prevent travellers from taking the airplane. The young “forceful” protesters made many mistakes while protesting against the wrong doings of the government.
On the other hand, many people argue that the young protesters are being directed and manipulated by foreign countries, pointing to how well organised, and how well equipped they are. They seem to think these are children who cannot think for themselves.
The reality is that the equipment of the protesters are nowhere near the level of the robotcop-like gear of the police. And there is plenty of evidence that much of the protesters’ gear were purchased by themselves or donated by well-learning local people, many of them adults.
There is also no apparent systematic hierarchy among the protesters. They often argue among themselves what to do: to block or not to block the travellers, where to strike, to break windows or not to break windows, …, etc. Yet they have learned to develop fluid strategies just like the way that Lao Tsz described water in Dao De Jing. In the beginning they confronted the police at announced specific sites, with many casualties and many arrested. They then developed a strategy to strike and withdraw swiftly, disrupting while reducing casualties and arrests.
Many of them seem to realise that their problem is with the government, hence they should target the government, but should avoid hurting the citizens and travellers. It is far from a consensus. But there is evidence that the majority believe in it. The challenge is to convince the minority to also adopt the moral high ground, instead of stooping to the violent tactics of their opponents.
What is most admirable is that they can reflect on their actions, and have the courage to admit their mistakes. Some have openly apologised for the disruption upon the travellers. I hope they can build on this valuable capacity of self-improvement.
These young people are idealistic, impulsive and made many mistakes. However, their ability to learn and be self-critical, the courage to admit mistakes, and the faith in justice and democracy are not qualities that we can used to describe our government, and many in the establishment.
Many people - from the establishment, neutral and even protester sides - have commented that many, if not most, of the police are reasonable people. Not at all the brutes that often appear opposite the protesters and even by-standers, beating up people, planting incriminating evidence, instigating criminal acts, arresting indiscriminately, colluding with the triads.
What many people forget is that the same person can behave differently in different situations. When they are calm and not stressed, most people, including the police, behave reasonably. But when they are on the street, sweating under heavy gear, hungry, facing flying bricks, irritated by laser, seeing colleagues hurt, it is very easy to vent the frustration and anger on the people in front of them. The same happens on the protesters’ side. And the vicious cycle continues.
And now the cycle has slipped down an ominous slope. Some police and establishment have started openly calling the protesters cockroaches - an attempt to de-humanize the people that they dislike. It was what Nazis call the Jews in Germany, and also what the Hutus called the Tutsis in Rwanda, a crucial step towards the evil that is genocide. The implication of the name-calling is that their enemies are not humans, hence do not have to be treated as such. It is an extremely treacherous road indeed.
What can be done to stop this from escalating (degrading) further? The original instigators of this mess was, of course, the government, who proposed the Extradition Bill and continues to try to stonewall their way out of it, which is deepening the crisis instead. However, this is a bunch of people without much imagination, lateral thinking or sense of morality. Expecting them to have the imagination and courage to take the moral high ground is perhaps not realistic.
On the other hand, the protesters have demonstrated fluidity, respect for the regular citizens, and a strong sense of justice. If they can stop to think a bit, they may come to the realisation that violence cannot help them achieve their aims of justice, democracy and peace. If they can refrain from violence, they can concentrate on building up their moral authority by insisting on doing the right thing. They have already demonstrated that they can disrupt the government, traffic, and so much more almost at will. They don’t need to continue to do that every day. They don’t even have to stop completely.
Instead, they can build up more moral authority by refraining from violence from now on, and concentrate on, e.g., contesting the coming elections, at the district level as well as the city-wide legislative council level. They have successfully mobilises a large segment of the citizenship, to care about their own community, about justice.
They will have to deal with the gloating of the establishment, which will certainly claim that they have defeated the protesters. It takes a lot of self-belief and self-control to not stoop to the lower level of your opponents. It is precisely because it is hard, that it is valuable. It is worth considering.
In these days of conflict and confrontation, Christians are split many ways. Some Christians are hoping that Christian leaders can speak with one voice to calm things down, to persuade all sides to refrain from violence, to help return society to a state of “normality”. Sadly, it is not happening, and there appears to be little hope of it happening.
There are many Christians working hard to mediate between the police and the protesters, to minister to the young people on the streets. Based on what I can see, they are mostly from the liberal and smaller churches and denominations. Some are working hard. As insignificant as I am, I am personally doing what I can in my own circle. However, our influence, humanly speaking, is limited.
Many high profile pastors of big churches and “mega” churches, sadly, have already long been co-opted by the establishment. They are very fond of citing the very few Bible verses such as Romans 13:1 - “Let everyone be subject to governing authorities …” They are also very fond of dropping names of rich and powerful people, senior government officials. They conveniently ignore verses such as Romans 13:4 - “They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” What if the governing authority is not bringing punishment on the wrongdoer, are they then il-legitimate? Shall we continue to subject to them? Should we at least point out where they did wrong?
Even when such Christian establishment leaders preach against violence. They point to the unfair criticisms of police officers, the violence committed by protesters against the police, the conflicts “created” by the protests against the government. They cannot bring themselves to criticise the institutional injustice and violence committed by the government, the flagrant brutality committed by the police, the apparent collusion between the police and the triads.
Hence when many in the Christian establishment preach against “taking justice in our hands”, and try to persuade the protesters to leave the exercise of justice to God, it rings so completely hollow and hypocritical.
They have conveniently ignored the many Old Testament prophets who railed against the rich and powerful kings and priests who exploited the poor, the weak, the widows and orphans and otherwise committed injustice. They have also conveniently ignored Jesus Christ’s own severe criticisms of the Pharisees, the priests - the then establishment.
Come to think of it, the term “Christian establishment” is almost an oxymoron. When Christians become rich and powerful, they are corrupted by the power, and are no longer truly, purely Christians. Jesus Christ himself said that where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. If we consider power and status our treasure, our heart is no longer in God - will we then remain Christians?
This is, sadly, why the Christian establishment has no leverage on the protesters. Do they have leverage on the establishment? The answer to that is also no. They are of value to the rich and powerful only when they provide service of use to the rich and powerful. Their status as part of establishment is illusory.
The reality is that they have leverage over nobody beyond their immediate followers.
The vast majority of the protesters are peaceful, rational, and non-violent. It is a small minority who are so frustrated that they feel a more forceful approach is needed.Even when they used force, they were relatively restrained and targeted - aiming mostly at symbols of authority that they feel were already discredited.However, the force that they use is providing the establishment an excuse to discredit the whole protest movement, and for the police to use brutal, overwhelming violence to suppress the protests.If the protesters can refrain from all violence, it will further strengthen the moral authority of the protest movement.It will help to bring more of the people behind the movement. It will help to bring more people out.
The police do have an obligation to maintain order in society. They do have the authority to stop and arrest people who break the law. The problem is when some of them use excessive force. Some of them seem to pursue protesters even when the protesters are leaving the scene. They sometimes seem to be slow in protecting the protesters and even bystanders from being attacked. Some of the senior officers make very lame excuses when questioned. Some of them display a hostile attitude towards even peaceful protesters. It is understandable that the police is under a lot of pressure in these days. However, if the police can refrain from unnecessary force, demonstrate that they are even handed, and are truly professional in carrying out their duties - they will surely earn the respect of the vast majority of the Hong Kong people. And they will feel much less pressure in dealing with the situation. It will also help to focus attention on the real political issues, rather than the police force itself.
The key, ultimately, is the government. Even though they have stopped pushing for the extradition bill, they have refused to withdraw the bill, as desired by so many. Many people believe it is a matter of “face”. If so, it is so very sad that the whole society is plunged into unnecessary continued conflict because of the “face” of one person. It appears that many people are angry because the government is so condescending, dismissive, and intransigent. It just does not appear to be sincere in admitting that it has mismanaged the whole thing. If only the government can come out and sincerely apologise, try to understand why so many people are so angry, and try to work with the people to move things forward - the situation would be so very different. Most people do understand Hong Kong is part of China, that we are still under many constraints, that many things cannot be pushed too quickly. But we do need to see the government as working with us under the constraints, rather than working against us to tighten the constraints even further.
While I understand I may be appealing to blocked ears, I still have to plead with all parties to take the moral high ground, to be magnanimous. For practical reasons, let us start with ourselves. If we feel we are in the right, let us start to forgive. If we hold the power, let us start to forgive. That is what God did. If God had not forgiven us, there is no redemption for anyone of us. Since God has forgiven us, let us try to forgive each other. If we focus on the negative part of human nature, people often behave according to our expectations, and the spiral goes downwards to mutual destruction. If we, instead, focus more on the positive aspects of human beings, people may also respond accordingly, towards a happier, sunnier outcome.
It has become a pattern. There is a massive peaceful march protesting against the government: anti-extradition bill, stalemate in political reform, police brutality, …The peaceful march is followed by confrontation between a small number of “forcefuls” and the police, which results in violence.The police beat people up and arrest some, while some “forcefuls” throw things. Most of the time it is difficult to determine which comes first and who is more violent than the other.
What is clear is that the government is stonewalling. It is also holding an overwhelming advantage in power. There is no way, no mater how organised and well-prepared, for the few “forcefuls” to win. Why do they still insist on forceful confrontations?
What is also clear is that the vast majority of the protesters do not condone the tactics of the few “forcefuls”. And the violence committed by a few is giving the government an excuse to put its foot down. It also shifts the focus onto the confrontation rather than the government intransigence.
I pray that all protesters, including those who are inclined to confront forcefully, to take the moral high ground. Because this is not a struggle for power, or of power. There is no way that the people can win by force. Even if the protesters win by force, the result is just the replacement of one set of elites by another.
History has taught us that violence only begets violence. Jesus himself also said, “Put your sword back in its place,for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." [Matthew 26:52]
This is ultimately a struggle for a change of mindset. We need the community to embrace openness, inclusiveness, fairness, kindness and ultimately, love. Such a change of heart cannot be achieved by force or violent revolution. It can only be achieved by demonstrating and convincing a majority of the community of the value and benefits of higher moral values. Hence there is no other option but to insist on taking the moral high ground.
I came with a big team of staff and students to organise the Beijing session of a youth conference. As soon as we got off the plane, our Beijing partner took us to a restaurant in a traditional Beijing courtyard house - the famous Siheyuan (四合院).
From the outside, it is not easy to imagine what is behind the wall - unless you are familiar with the concept of a 四合院.
The entrance is set near the right hand corner of the house. Immediately on the right, upon entering, is the kitchen.
We turned left, through a circular entrance, into a long, narrow courtyard. On the left hand side of the narrow courtyard is a row of houses with their back to the wall.
On the right hand side of the narrow courtyard is the main entrance to the courtyard.
We turned right to walk through the main entrance, and found ourselves in a spacious central courtyard.
Across from the courtyard, on the far side, is the two-storey, main house - usually occupied by the owner of the house. On both sides of the courtyard are rows of houses - usually occupied by the children of the owner and their families. The courtyard is the focal point of the courtyard house.
When we reached the two-storey main house and turned around, we can see what the owner sees from his house. This is a private world protected from the outside.
I wonder how much does one has to pay to acquire such a house now.
This is actually a famous restaurant. One of the dishes we had this evening is puffer fish.
There are two ways to remove the poison from a puffer fish. One is to remove the guts carefully. The other is to carefully control the diet of the puffer fish, to avoid certain types of shellfish. I believe this restaurant use the diet method.

Real Stuff: Nutrient Therapies Treating Chronic Disease #48
Download the podcast on iTunes, you can rate and review it here! Download the podcast on Stitcher
In this episode of Food, Success & Life for the Modern Woman, Julia Rucklidge talks about her trials in using micronutrients for the treatment of mental illnesses. She shares about the advances they have made in learning what can lead to reducing and eliminating symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, PMS, depression in both adults and children. Her research is quite astounding and she’s making waves to change the way we treat our illnesses with methods other than drugs.
In the trials they perform in her research lab, they take an approach where they give everyone the same micronutrients, and then test to see if and how that worked. It’s difficult to give everyone something different and pin point the trials that worked. They give people a broad spectrum of micronutrients, in levels that are higher than the average recommended allowances but in a safe level and within a therapeutic range.
They did trials with ADHD. Half went into micronutrient and half went into placebo groups, and those that were on the micronutrient group showed significant changes in their ADHD symptoms.
They also just completed a study to explore ceasing smoking. Now doing a study for women experiencing PMS symptoms, to treat women naturally and looking at women and depression, women with postpartum depression, helping people with insomnia, children with ADHD, etc.
What is the best way to spread the word and talk to practitioners about this? Disseminate results.
Step 1 – Studies need to be submitted into a journal to have great impact and be taken seriously.
Step 2- Media will be present to listen to results. They will help spread the word to the masses.
Step 3- Julia is spreading the word, public speaking, interviews, podcasts, get the information to the public, and now trying to get the information to politicians.
Step 4- Need to convince authorities that it’s better and cheaper than the alternative which is drugs. This is difficult because most drugs’ patents are coming to an end, so they are becoming cheaper. Gearing their research towards finding out if they can make micronutrients cheaper.
Bottom line is that it’s hard. There’s a monopoly on healthcare by pharmaceutical companies.
Use of nutrients to impact adults with ADHD
Her lab did an amazing trial. It was only done for 8 weeks due to funds. It often takes several months to start to see a difference in a study. Despite that, they were still able to identify differences. They found that about 50% to 60% of people given micronutrients showed a great response during that period of time, 20% to 30% showed mild change over that period of time. And, a 20% to 25% of people don’t respond at all. This could be due to genetics, other diseases, other factors, etc.
While they were targeting ADHD symptoms, they also noticed better response in terms of mood, sleep, calm, and reduction of panic attacks. And in terms of long term, people who stayed on the nutrients they no longer met criteria for ADHD. Those that did not continue on the nutrients, regressed back to where they started before the trial.
Dr. Rucklidge foresees her lab being in the company of the big researchers in 10-20 years from now, and hopes that the research being done will hit mainstream.
Let’s make noise and keep spreading the word!

In 2000, she joined the Department of Psychology where she teaches child psychology in the Clinical Psychology Programme and more recently, introduced the topic of Mental Health and Nutrition into the wider psychology program. Her interests in nutrition and mental illness grew out of her own research showing poor outcomes for children with significant psychiatric illness despite receiving conventional treatments for their conditions.
In the last decade, she has been running clinical trials investigating the role of broad-spectrum micronutrients in the expression of mental illness, specifically ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety and stress and PTSD associated with the Canterbury earthquakes.
Julia has over 100 publications and was the recipient of the Ballin Award 2015 from the NZ Psychologist Society, an award that recognizes notably significant contributions to the development or enhancement of clinical psychology in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The next beer you crack open at the Enterprise Center may have an incredibly minimal carbon footprint, St. Louis Blues fans. Anheuser-Busch said on Thursday it completed the very first beer delivery using zero-emissions delivery vehicles.
Specifically, it hauled the shipment of beer in a Nikola hydrogen-electric semi, before its partner brought the adult beverage to its final destination in a BYD electric truck. Anheuser-Busch placed an order forlast year as the beer brewer looks to turn its entire long-haul vehicle fleet into a zero-emissions one. By 2025, the company has committed to shaving 25% of its carbon emissions.
The beer brewer will run a fleet of. These models do not solely run on hydrogen, but incorporate both a hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric powertrain. On hydrogen, the Two should go up to 750 miles. With electricity from the battery, Nikola expects up to 350 miles of range. The BYD electric trucks, like the one used in this first shipment, are meant to complement the semis.
They'll largely run in California, where Anheuser-Busch began a, and the beer brewer will use them to run between four different distribution centers. The company even constructed a 958.5 kW solar array to charge the vehicles with renewable energy.
Back to Nikola, the company said it's working to deliver its production semis to the beer brewer as quickly as possible. Production will take place in Arizona at a new facility under construction that Nikola estimates will bring 2,000 new jobs to the area by 2024. The company is alsoto bring hydrogen refueling infrastructure to life. If all goes according to plan, it will have 700 stations by 2028.

In at least one type of endeavor, humans cant even begin to compete with their best friends. Dogs can be trained to sniff out drugs and explosives or to track down a crime suspect by smell. Why cant we do the same? Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology propose an explanation for this ancient quandary.
All mammals, including humans, have about 1,000 genes encoding smell-detecting proteins, or olfactory receptors. These receptors, located in the mucous lining of the nose, identify scents by binding to molecules of odorous substances. However, not all olfactory receptor genes are functioning in all species. It is the percentage of the working olfactory genes that determines the sharpness of smell in animals and humans.
In previous studies, the team of Prof. Doron Lancet of the Weizmann Institutes Molecular Genetics Department discovered that more than half of these genes in humans contain a mutation that prevents them from working properly. In a new study, published in the March 18, 2003 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the scientists tackled the next question: is the genetic "loss" a relatively old phenomenon affecting all primates, or did it occurr only in humans?

Tiny pores at a cell's entryway act as miniature bouncers, letting in some electrically charged atoms--ions--but blocking others. Operating as exquisitely sensitive filters, these "ion channels" play a critical role in biological functions such as muscle contraction and the firing of brain cells.
To rapidly transport the right ions through the cell membrane, the tiny channels rely on a complex interplay between the ions and surrounding molecules,...
The miniaturization of the current technology of storage media is hindered by fundamental limits of quantum mechanics. A new approach consists in using so-called spin-crossover molecules as the smallest possible storage unit. Similar to normal hard drives, these special molecules can save information via their magnetic state. A research team from Kiel University has now managed to successfully place a new class of spin-crossover molecules onto a surface and to improve the molecule’s storage capacity. The storage density of conventional hard drives could therefore theoretically be increased by more than one hundred fold. The study has been published in the scientific journal Nano Letters.
Over the past few years, the building blocks of storage media have gotten ever smaller. But further miniaturization of the current technology is hindered by...

A tearful Naomi Osaka admitted that the attention that has come with her meteoric rise and the media frenzy that has followed her surprise decision to part ways with her coach Sascha Bajin have been difficult to deal with, and have contributed to her opening round defeat to Kristina Mladenovic in Dubai on Tuesday.
Playing her first match since she won the Australian Open last month, and her first since becoming No. 1, Osaka gave an error-strewn performance to lose 6-3, 6-3 to world No. 67 Kristina Mladenovic, who hadn’t won a singles match this year prior to Dubai.
Making her first appearance since splitting with Bajin, Osaka dropped serve seven times and could only win 35 per cent of her service points against Mladenovic.
News about Osaka’s decision to end her working relationship with Bajin after winning two Grand Slams with him and rising to No. 1 in the world has taken over TV screens, newspaper pages and social media in an explosive way.
“It’s true that I think the tennis planet, it was surprise about this split. I don’t remember seeing this in the past,” said Mladenovic about her opponent’s situation.
Asked if she’s been able to block all the reaction about her coaching news, Osaka said: “I mean, I couldn’t. That’s the result. This match is the result of that.
“I’m pretty sure, like, you guys – no offense to you guys – but I’m pretty sure as time goes on you guys will stop talking about it. For now, it’s like the biggest tennis news, I guess.
“See, it’s a little bit hard because I feel like people are staring at me, and not like in a good way, so…”
Osaka concedes that her serve was a “disaster” against Mladenovic and revealed that her practices have not gone as well as she had hoped.
“I haven’t been practicing well recently. I just thought, like, it would go away during the matches. I was kind of counting on that. That didn’t happen, so…
“My rhythm was kind of off. But there’s been times where it’s been worse than now, and I managed to play well in matches. Yeah, when I say I haven’t been practicing well, just like rhythm. I don’t know, I feel like I’m not doing enough or something.”
In Dubai, Osaka was accompanied by Japanese Tennis Federation coach Masashi Yoshikawa, who has known her from a young age, and was seen feeding her balls during practices ahead of her opener. The 21-year-old confessed that running the practices has been a challenge since she stopped working with Bajin.
“It’s been rough because like Yoshikawa-san, I’m really grateful he came here. This is like the first tournament where he was like the coach-coach sort of,” she says.
“Before I used to just practice with him. I think everyone was so unsure what to do during practices, and he would ask me what I want to do. I never really say what I want. I just do what people tell me to do. It was a little bit hard.”
Osaka teared up when she was asked if the media reaction to her coaching news took her by surprise. She was ranked 48 in the world this time last year and she is now Asia’s first No. 1.
“I don’t think I necessarily understand what position I’m in, in a way, because last year I wasn’t even anywhere close to this ranking. People didn’t pay attention to me. That’s something that I’m comfortable with,” said Osaka, who is often described as a shy introvert.
“I don’t know why I’m crying. Yeah. I don’t know why this is happening.”
She added: “I don’t really like attention. It’s been a little tough.”
Osaka would not leave the press conference room and insisted to continue talking to reporters, assuring there is no major cause for concern.
“I mean, the Australian Open was not even a month ago. This was just one match. I feel like even if I don’t win any matches for the rest of the year, I wouldn’t say I’m concerned,” she said.
“I think I’m pretty young. I still feel like I have a lot to learn. For me, that’s sort of my biggest thing after this match. I think I play well after I lose a sort of bad match. I’m just looking forward to the next tournament.”
Osaka next heads to Indian Wells where she will contest a tournament as the defending champion for the first time. The California desert was the site of her first big breakthrough last year and she’s hoping the fond memories can help her move past this.
“I’m not really sure because I’ve never been a defending champion. Hopefully I remember all the good times that I’ve had there. Somehow, I don’t know, start feeling better about myself. But I can’t really say until I get there,” she concluded.
Elina Svitolina‘s bid for an unprecedented three-peat in Dubai looked in danger early in her opening set against Ons Jabeur on Tuesday but the Ukrainian weathered the storm and advanced to the third round when her opponent retired with a shoulder injury.
Jabeur led 4-1 in the first set and looked comfortable against the two-time defending champion before Svitolina took four games in a row to lead 5-4. Serving for the set, Svitolina was broken by Jabeur, who took a bad tumble in that game when approaching the net to hit a drop shot.

The Tunisian world No. 56 still managed to hold and forced a tiebreak. Jabeur saved four set points, the last of which saw her fire a stunning one-handed backhand pass late in the breaker. Svitolina was unfazed though and wrapped up the opening set on her fifth opportunity.
Jabeur had taken a medical timeout at 5-5 for a right shoulder problem and was forced to retire down 0-4 in the second set.
“I felt it at the beginning of the match, just finishing the warm-up. I went to grab the racquet then I felt something blocking in the shoulder. I thought if I continue playing maybe the pain would go away. But then it was getting worse and worse and sometimes I was losing some energy. You could see that I wasn’t moving very good,” Jabeur said of her shoulder injury after the match.
“The high balls for the forehand they were bothering me a lot. I was not missing yesterday and today I was missing a lot.
“I don’t even know how I fell actually, it was so weird. I don’t think I fell on the shoulder. I don’t know if it made it worse or not. My ankle is good, so that’s important. I have a few bruises but it’s okay.”
Jabeur and Svitolina go way back and they actually faced off in the French Open junior final in 2010, which the Ukrainian won. Their most recent meeting prior to Dubai was a tough third-set tiebreak victory for Svitolina in Taipei in 2017, where Jabeur held four match points but couldn’t convert.
On Tuesday, Jabeur had the right game plan to trouble Svitolina and the North African admits it’s a bit frustrating she wasn’t able to pull off the upset.
— WTA (@WTA) February 19, 2019
“I’m still a little bit angry about it because I was playing really well, I was showing good shots during the game. I was kind of playing my best tennis, I handled the first set well. But it’s frustrating to have these kind of injuries. I was playing like 30 or 20 per cent of my tennis, yet still I was very close,” said the 24-year-old Jabeur.
“I was worried [about the shoulder] just after the match but since the pain was going away slowly I thought that’s a good sign. I’ll see if I’ll do an MRI tomorrow or not. I haven’t rested for three weeks now. I was playing non-stop from Fed Cup, so maybe it’s a little bit of fatigue. Playing doubles late in Doha, sleeping late every night, and then coming straightaway to play here. Tough match yesterday, so maybe it was also that.”
Jabeur, who is the highest-ranked Arab in tennis history, is expected to rise to a career-high 52 in the world on Monday, which will leave her on the brink of the top-50. The 2011 Roland Garros junior champion had a lot of Tunisians supporting her in the stands here in Dubai and says it’s always a special feeling for her playing in the Emirates.
“It’s always nice to be here in Dubai, I think I play well every time I’m here,” she added. “I’m improving my ranking now, I’m getting there. I know I can beat any top player. I was very close today I think. I’m happy with my level and I’m happy with the way I’m improving mentally. Hopefully I can be stronger next time.”
On what positives she takes from her campaign here this year, Jabeur said: “Let’s say like now I improved the ranking and that’s the positive thing from this tournament.”
— Elina Svitolina (@ElinaSvitolina) February 19, 2019
Meanwhile, Svitolina says the prospect of becoming the first woman to win three titles in a row in Dubai is spurring her on this week.
“This is a big motivation for me here. Today I didn’t really feel like in a match mood. I don’t know why. Was a bit struggling. In the end, we could say I had a very slow start. Hopefully, yeah, tomorrow will be better,” said Svitolina.
“But definitely it’s a big motivation for me. When I was 0-2 down, I told myself, ‘Come on, you are here to make history of the tournament’.”
Her third round opponent will be two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza, who trails Svitolina 3-4 head-to-head.
Ons Jabeur on Naomi Osaka:

Novak Djokovic reflected on the “life lessons” he has learned in the last 12 months after his resurgence saw him crowned the Sportsman of the Year at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Monaco.
The Serbian was convalescing from elbow surgery a year ago and his subsequent struggles on his return to the ATP Tour a couple of months later left many fearing he was in terminal decline.
But Djokovic wiped out any doubts in the second half of last year by winning Wimbledon and the US Open en route to reclaiming top spot back in the rankings.
He has since added a record seventh Australian Open title to move to 15 grand slams, and his 2018 achievements saw him honoured in the principality for the fourth time in his career, pipping fellow nominees Lewis Hamilton, LeBron James, Kylian Mbappe, Luka Modric and Eliud Kipchoge to one of the evening’s top prizes.
Djokovic said: “Twelve months ago I was on the surgery table so I hope that was the last surgery that I ever have.
“But at the same time I’m really pleased with how the surgery went because it allowed me to be – five weeks after the surgery – back on the court.
“I was very anxious to be back on the court to compete, and very impatient, because I was not ready emotionally and my game was not there and not even close.
“But in my mind knowing what I’m capable of and the quality of my tennis I felt like it’s not going to take much time for me to get there. That’s where I had the reality check.
“Then for several months I was experiencing some really challenging and difficult months mentally on the court where I was questioning everything and really doubting as well.
“There were many, many life lessons that I’ve learned along the way in the last 12 months and to be able to be recognised for that was a privilege and an honour.”
Djokovic admitted there were moments when he was at his lowest where he would sometimes lash out at either himself or those around him.
Having ended a two-year wait for a grand slam win at SW19, Djokovic believes he had to attempt to find satisfaction from within.
He added: “Probably one of the biggest takes I’ve had in the last couple of years is that it really does depend only on me: whether I’m going to take these challenging situations and obstacles as an opportunity to grow, to rise, to get better or let them defeat me.
“That kind of a mindset was very helpful in the moments where I really needed that strength. I had to find it inside rather than outside.
“I didn’t know that a couple of years ago, I was looking for things outside and maybe blaming people around me or blaming myself and not really understanding that things are as they should be and you just have to learn.
“There’s a learning curve of life and you have to embrace it and accept it.”
Simone Biles scooped her second statuette after becoming the first female to win four world gymnastics titles in the all-around discipline in Doha last November.
The American overcome Simona Halep, Angelique Kerber, Ester Ledecka, Mikaela Shiffrin and Daniela Ryf to earn Sportswoman of the Year.
Elsewhere at the ceremony, Naomi Osaka won the Breakthrough award following her maiden grand slam victory at the US Open, Tiger Woods claimed the Comeback prize after winning his first PGA Tour title in five years, while France’s World Cup winners saw them scoop the Team accolade.
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger received the Lifetime Achievement Award following his revolutionary 22 years with the Gunners.
– The Laureus World Sports Awards celebrate the most remarkable men and women from the world of sport along with their achievements from the previous calendar year. The Awards also showcase the work of Laureus Sport for Good, a charity which uses the power of sport to end violence, discrimination and disadvantage.

Zidane hints Eden Hazard comeback before Gladbach match
Since his transfer to Bernabeu from Chelsea in 2019, Eden Hazard has constantly struggled with massive injuries as he has been able to appear in only 22 matches for Los Blancos. The 29-year-old midfielder suffered an injury right before the start of the current season and has not yet been able to play for his team. However after Real Madrid’s 3-1 win against Barcelona in their Saturday LaLiga match, everything looks set for the Belgian star to make a comeback to the team’s squad as Zinedine Zidane has hinted in his Pre-match interview ahead of their Tuesday Champions League game against Borussia Monchengladbach.
"If Hazard is with us it is because he is well and that is good news. We are all happy to see him with us," Zidane said on Monday.
"Tomorrow we will see how we are going to use him. It is very positive news for us.
"We know that the season is long and we are going to need everyone. It is true, I have always said it, because they are players who always play.
"It is true that we have had problems on the wing, but there are other players who can replace them and it will not give us problems."
Zidan’s side will be playing against Monchengladbach on Tuesday before continuing their Laliga campane with a match against Huesca four days later.
