The 42-year-old, 23-time grand slam tennis star revealed to her fans on social media that she wasn't feeling well and then offered a consoling message on mental health.

In an interview, Serena, who had already experienced this state, once stated

"Mental fitness for me is just really learning [ing] to shut down," Williams stated. "And you know I did this years ago before even mental health was a topic in everyone's mind." "It was more like, well, I'm going to shut myself off for the day. It was just something I always did, unconsciously," she said. "And so I constantly have shut-down periods now that I realize how crucial it is to simply put yourself first, especially psychologically. I don't allow anyone to step beyond my very strict bounds."

"It's crucial for me to make sure that, on a daily basis, I have a period of time where I feel like I'm not doing anything for myself; I'm awful at it! And as I've often stated, I'm working on it. Williams said, "And then when I'm turned off, I'm turned off, but more or less, at least prioritizing what I need to do." Over the years, Williams has frequently discussed her mental health, particularly the difficulties she had after the birth of her daughter Alexis Olympia in 2017. She admitted to crying on occasion to TIME back in 2018. "I'm quite depressed. I've lost it sometimes.

 The athlete was forced to spend the next six weeks in bed following her daughter's emergency cesarean delivery due to a pulmonary embolism that almost killed her. She revealed to the source that she struggled with postpartum depression after that and was unable to get over her feelings of grief. Regarding her battle with postpartum depression, Williams told Harper's Bazaar UK, "Honestly, sometimes I still think I have to deal with it." "I believe there should be more conversation about it because it's a component of pregnancy and is comparable to the fourth trimester.

In an eliminator, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder can square off to determine who is the undisputed heavyweight champion. On December 23 in Saudi Arabia, the pair will take on Otto Wallin and Joseph Parker, respectively, on the same card. And should both win in the Middle East, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman thinks AJ and Wilder will set up a tantalizing bout. "It seems like Wilder and Joshua are on a collision course," he said to Sky Sports. That may very well be the last round of eliminations to choose a mandatory WBC championship contender. That last elimination would rank among the most prominent that the sport has ever seen.

Incredible. For the fans, that would be the stuff of dreams. "You have the ability to dream big; we have been waiting for this, and now is the ideal time to usher in a new age of boxing. Thus, we shall provide as much assistance as we can."

Sulaiman went on to say: "We've been waiting and pushing and mediating and encouraging everyone to try to make this [an undisputed heavyweight champion] happen."There were a few times when Wilder and Joshua got really close while Wilder was the champion. After that, he was prepared to take on Joshua and then Usyk with Tyson Fury. "An obligatory competitor is the potential issue. We did order Wilder to face [Andy] Ruiz in order to determine a mandatory contender. It was an amazing battle. There was no battle that day. The WBC board of governors has thus authorized Fury's fight with Usyk in February and the rematch, meaning that nothing will stand in the way of the WBC's sanctioning of both bouts."

Israel, contemplating a southward advance in a showdown with the leaders of the Hamas terror organization, has ordered Gazans living in Khan Younis to leave.

According to Mrs. Bianca Ojukwu, the Ndigbo people will always be grateful to former President Goodluck Jonathan for arranging a state funeral for Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

At the 12th Ojukwu Memorial Day ceremony in Owerri on Sunday, Mrs. Ojukwu spoke. She recounted that when Ojukwu became ill, the President hurried to Enugu to visit him. The President then provided the air ambulance that transported Ojukwu to a hospital in London, where he spent seven months before passing away. The memorial this year honors His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, with a tribute edition. He called and maintained track until God's will was fulfilled. Despite being Ijaw rather than Igbo, Jonathan made sure there were 28 funeral ceremonies held in 28 states in Nigeria and 80 burial services held in 80 different nations. He and his spouse trailed my spouse to his final resting place in Nnewi.

"President Jonathan, in my opinion, every civilization will be judged in the end by how well it fulfills its obligation of decency to the deceased. This is because man is most vulnerable when he is dying, and dignity is the noblest farewell present that can be given to him."Dr. Ebele, good luck Jonathan, you will always be owed by the people of Igbo. It says volumes about your character that you could bestow upon our symbol and hero this extraordinary honor and care, irrespective of tribe or faith, under a leadership free from historical prejudice.

After the raw deal of the previous APC primary elections in Oyo state, there is one man who is not giving up on his bid to be governor of Oyo state.

His name is Akeem Agbaje. He's not allowing the disappointment of the shabby and manipulated primary election of the APC to deter his ambition because he appears to view those incidents as the work of the enemy of progress.

He has since commenced his mobilization work and does not see 2027 as too distant to commence preparation

It is no longer news that the last primary election of the APC in Oyo State was the cause of the woeful performance of the APC at the 2023 polls and it is now a challenge for the party not to allow some unscrupulous people to force a repeat of the previous primaries. Waiting in the wings also are several other candidates some of whom participated in last year's primaries but the party needs to get it right. APC cannot afford to pick a candidate whose character will in any way be controversial.

After prosecutors acknowledged a parole misstep ten years after the death of Oscar Pistorius's girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, the man may be allowed to leave jail.

Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced athlete, may be released from prison after the prosecution acknowledged that they erred in turning down prior requests for parole. The double amputee and Olympian has been imprisoned in South Africa ever since his Valentine's Day 2013 murder of model lover Reeve Steenkamp. The 36-year-old Pistorius stated he believed she was an intruder and the shooting was an unfortunate error.

After being found guilty of manslaughter, the conviction was eventually enhanced to murder, and he was given a 13-year, 5-month term. Since then, Pistorius has submitted requests for parole, but all have been denied.

The South African Department of Corrections has stated that a board will determine whether or not he is "suitable or not for social integration" during his case retrial on Friday. In South Africa, serious criminals are not eligible for parole until they have completed at least half of their sentence.

After considering the year and a half that Pistorius had already spent for culpable homicide, the Supreme Court of Appeal finally decided in 2017 that Pistorius should serve the minimum 15-year term for murder in South Africa. Though Pistorius was informed at his initial hearing that he would only be eligible for parole in August 2024, the court erred by failing to account for the additional time he spent while his murder sentence was under appeal. As a result, Pistorius was really eligible for release in March. In light of the appellate court's mistake, Pistorius' attorneys successfully argued their case before the nation's highest court, the Constitutional Court, and won him a second hearing on Friday.

WHO acknowledges that a staff member, her husband, their six-month-old child, and her two siblings perished in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas War.

The head of the World Health Organization has acknowledged that one of its workers, together with her husband, two brothers, and six-month-old child, was slain in Gaza. In the midst of the continuous conflict, the 29-year-old employee, Dima Alhaj, was slain in Gaza, the occupied Palestinian territory.

In a news release on Tuesday evening, the World Health Organization said that Alhaj lost her life when the bombing of her parents' home in southern Gaza, from which she had fled Gaza City, occurred.

Along with her two brothers, husband, and their six-month-old son, she was also slain. The WHO claims that more than fifty family and community members who were taking refuge in the same home perished as well. At the Limb Reconstruction Centre, an essential component of the WHO Trauma and Emergency Team, Alhaj served as a patient administrator.

She continued to study and work on environmental issues and health after graduating from the Islamic University of Gaza with a bachelor's degree in environmental and earth sciences. In 2018, she enrolled in the Erasmus exchange program at Glasgow University in Scotland, UK, to pursue a master's degree. "She was a wonderful person with a radiant smile, cheerful, positive, and respectful," stated Dr. Rik Peeperkorn, WHO representative in the occupied Palestinian territories. She was a real asset to the team. Her job was essential, and in order to help the Gaza suboffice and team, she had been asked to take on even additional duties. It hurts so much that we are all losing this. Our thoughts and prayers are with her parents, who have been medical specialists in Gaza for a long time.

Another instance of the needless loss in this fight is the passing of Dima and her family. People who were civilians have perished at hospitals, during work, during evacuations, while taking refuge in schools, and in their homes. The WHO "stands alongside Dima's family and colleagues in the occupied Palestinian territory, the Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, and across the organization to mourn her loss." "We plead again with all those who hold in their hands the power to end this conflict to do so."

There is no sign of terrorism following the explosion on the US-Canada bridge. This is what we currently know.

Governor Kathy Hochul of New York stated that there is no sign of terrorism following the death of two persons in an automobile explosion that occurred on Wednesday at the US-Canada Rainbow Bridge border crossing. The governor said that following the event, all four of the bridges that connect Canada and the United States near Niagara Falls were promptly closed.

She stated that although the Rainbow Bridge remained down, the Peace, Whirlpool, and Lewiston-Queenston bridges reopened later on Wednesday. Special Agent-in-Charge Matthew Miraglia responded, "We do have someone in mind for it and we're working through it through the JTTF," a reference to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, when asked why the FBI doesn't think there is a terrorist danger.

What is known as follows: Fast-moving vehicle: According to law enforcement officials who spoke to CNN, investigators suspect a man and his wife were driving a 2022 Bentley at a high speed when it struck a curb and then a railing, sending the car flying into the Rainbow Bridge's secondary screening area. Investigators suspect the man traveled to a casino in the US instead of the canceled KISS performance he was supposed to attend in Canada. According to law enforcement officials, the couple had left the casino when the collision happened. Social media and security camera footage shows the ashes scattered, with strong smoke and flames shooting out.

According to Hochul, a border patrol agent working in a booth also had some minor wounds. Executives briefed: The event was reported to the leaders of the United States and Canada. "At first, we weren't sure if it was a terrorist attack or not," Erie County Sheriff John Garcia stated. "Nevertheless, all necessary measures were implemented to guarantee the community's safety." Referring to the collision as a "tragic accident," he Headaches from travel: On a busy travel day, the explosion that occurred on the eve of the US Thanksgiving holiday caused closures and delays. There was a temporary stoppage of international flights into and out of Buffalo Niagara International Airport, and other travelers were advised to prepare for extra screening.
