一 |     NEW DELHI -- Bishan Bedi, the India cricket great whose dazzling left-arm spin claimed 266 test wickets, has died. He was 77.The death of Bedi, who underwent multiple surgeries over the last two years that included a knee operation a month ago, was confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Monday.“The BCCI mourns the sad demise of former India Test Captain and legendary spinner, Bishan Singh Bedi,” the BCCI wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and fans in these tough times. May his soul rest in peace.”Bedi was part of the famous Indian spin quartet with Bhagwath Chandrasekhar, Erapalli Prasanna and Srinivas Venkataraghavan in the 1970s.He grabbed his 266 wickets in 67 test matches, but played only 10 ODIs between 1974-79, picking up seven wickets. He took 1,560 first-class wickets — the most by any Indian bowler ever — playing for various teams including Delhi and Northern Punjab in India and Northamptonshire in England.He is survived by his wife and two children.India Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the tributes, saying on X: “His passion for the sport was unwavering and his exemplary bowling performances led India to numerous memorable victories.“He will continue to inspire future generations of cricketers. Condolences to his family and admirers.”Bedi made an impressive test debut in a series against Australia in 1969-70 when he picked up 21 wickets. He kept on troubling other major test playing nations like West Indies and England before eventually succeeding Mansoor Ali Khan as India skipper in 1976. His first win as test captain came at Port-of-Spain when India chased down a historic 406. He led India 22 times in total, winning six of them.Geoff Allardice, chief executive of the International Cricket Council, said Bedi was one of the masters of flight and turn.“I would like to extend heartfelt condolences from everyone at the ICC to the family of one of the greats of the game and one whose exploits in test cricket will be remembered for a long time," Allardice said. “He was the kind of spinner who could excel in different conditions and would have been one of the greats in any era.”Known for wearing colorful patkas and a graceful delivery hiding devastating variety, Bedi was outspoken on the field and often got embroiled in controversies.In 1976 he declared India’s second innings early at Kingston to protest intimidatory bowling by Caribbean fast bowlers. With three Indian batters already out of the game after being hit by West Indies pacers, Bedi claimed there weren’t enough fit players available to come out and bat. West Indies eventually won the test match by 10 wickets.Bedi also criticized Sri Lanka spin great Muttiah Muralitharan for his bowling action. He refused to compete in Kerry Packer’s lucrative World Series Cricket in 1978 and claimed that he was approached by the rebel cricket league.But his love for the game was clear, even when on the receiving end. Cricinfo.com website said Bedi “often applauded batters when they hit him for six.”___AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket。

三 | 无人看管的他开始吸食强力胶，之后在15岁被安排进入少男辅育所，18岁后当母亲迁入租赁组屋后才搬回家和母亲、弟弟住。“当时我已经无心上学了，就辍学去做兼职，可是每一份工作都无法超过半年，因为我很容易焦虑，遇到事情最快想到的就是逃避。

四 | ”上班遇到的压力让张龙光去看西医拿药，之后更是服用上瘾。“我可以每天都到不同的西医诊所看病拿药，一天喝掉一罐咳嗽药水，或是吃安眠药等。”张龙光也曾想过戒掉吃药的瘾，但从未成功，因此在2018年决定进入国立成瘾治疗服务项目(National Addictions Management Service，简称NAMS)戒掉药瘾，后来再来到了WE CARE。“来到这里后，接受医生诊断后我才知道原来自己有焦虑症，也开始吃抗抑郁药来缓解焦虑问题，两年后渐渐康复。”现在的张龙光，会主动去和中心的戒瘾者分享自己的经历，聆听对方的想法。“其实我每次去和他们聊天我还是会焦虑，只是现在学会通过其他方式舒压，包括自学弹钢琴。所以，我想说的是失败不用紧，我自己也失败很多次才成功，希望在尝试的人不要气馁。”首办筹款演出　盼筹20万善款机构首次举办筹款演出，望能筹得20万元善款。

五 | WE CARE的执行董事谭蕴涵表示，该中心提供专业的辅导服务，除了帮助个人戒瘾、也帮助因家庭成员上瘾而倍受困扰的家属提供辅导项目，每年接获70多个询问，平均一年也会帮助60至65个个人或家庭。“我们帮助他们了解自己的情绪，帮助他们了解成瘾是如何发生的，并在他们戒瘾的康复过程中提供相关援助。”来临周日（9月1日），WE CARE也将首次在新加坡艺术学院（SOTA）举办筹款演出，与本地“回响”吹打团合作。筹办这次演出的WE CARE董事林丽珠律师表示，筹办演出的目的主要是为了提高公众对WE CARE的认识，同时为组织进行筹款。“我们希望能筹得20万新元善款，目前已经开始有些进展。”有兴趣的公众可上https://ticketmaster.sg/activity/detail/24sg_wecare购票，单人票价38新元。浮沉毒海逾30年　5旬妇成戒瘾康复导员浮沉毒海逾30年，进出监狱6次，5旬妇甚至曾一度想不开，如今脱胎换骨成为戒瘾康复导员。她受访时说：“我要有勇气活下去。”谢依妮（57岁）自小得不到家庭的温暖，15岁后辍学离家，除了偷窃、为了寻求快感而沾染毒品。16岁的她，首次因偷窃入狱，前后因偷窃罪进出监狱4次后，在39岁那年因吸毒而入狱。

六 | 谢依妮说，入狱期间，外婆曾来探监。“她告诉我过去的事不要想，出来后好好做人就好，这让我很痛心也想过要好好戒毒。”她最后一次吸食毒品被判入狱6年，2007年出狱还是未能摆脱毒瘾，继续浮沉毒海无法自拔。2016年某天，谢依妮突萌生轻生念头，一半的身体已越出窗外。“当时一度真的很想死，因为觉得自己戒不掉了，但万念俱灰下突灵光一闪，我告诉自己要有勇气活下去。”谢依妮在偶然机会中从邻居那里认识到NAMS，加入后先解毒（detoxification），接着戒毒，后又被转介到WE CARE。从2017年开始，谢依妮每日到WE CARE报到，两年后，她成为互助义工（Peer Support Specialist），也弥补了读书的遗憾，完成O水准考试，华文更是取得优异成绩。谢依妮目前在WE CARE担任戒瘾康复导员。“我和他们算是互助，他们是我的一面镜子，警惕著自己不能重蹈覆辙。

七 | 我希望告诉其他想要戒瘾的人，不要怕求救，最重要的是对自己诚实、持开放心态并愿意作出改变。
