Kennebec hash browns

REUTERS: Sky Brown says she wanted to send a message that "falling is part of life" when the 11-year-old skateboarder shared a video of her fall from a training ramp that left her with skull fractures earlier this month. Brown, who is hoping to become Britain's youngest Summer Olympian next year, was airlifted to hospital where she was unresponsive on arrival. She also broke bones in her left hand, but is expected to make a full recovery. "I just thought: on social media, everything is perfect," Brown, who posted a video of the accident on Instagram, told the BBC. "People might think I'm Supergirl or something but I want to show sometimes you're going to fall. I want to spread the message that it's OK to fall sometimes, you are going to fall, Beyonce is going to fall, all your heroes are going to fall. "I wanted to show you've got to get back up and keep on going. Falling is part of life and that can't stop what you're doing." Brown hopes to replace swimmer Margery Hinton … [Read more...] about Skateboarding: It’s okay to fall, says Sky Brown after horror injury

It was a night when stars accepted awards in tracksuit bottoms, pyjamas and hoodies from rooms with too many doors, and the hosts presented from different coasts (albeit with a whizzy background to make them appear united). But despite heading into the 78th Golden Globes under a cloud of criticism over lack of diversity and dubious nomination choices , the ceremony was relatively hitch-free. Finishing (almost) on time, and with an admirable cast of winners (including a host of British stars) there were laughs, tears and glimpses of stars' homes across the world as Hollywood enjoyed its first big awards ceremony of 2021. We take a look at seven of the best bits of the night. Golden Globes updates: Here's what happened at the virtual ceremony Daniel, you're on mute!

SINGAPORE: The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) does not disadvantage the opposition but instead "encourages greater democracy", said Minister for Law and Home Affairs K Shanmugam. Mr Shanmugam was speaking to host Diana Ser for the programme In Conversation on Sunday (Jun 21) and was asked about POFMA and the upcoming General Election. The much-debated Bill was passed in May last year and came into force on Oct 2 , making the upcoming General Election the first in which POFMA will be in place. Ms Ser had asked for Mr Shanmugam's response to critics who say that POFMA disadvantages the opposition. “You can be as hard as you like on the Government policies, on the Government in your viewpoints. You can offer counter policies. POFMA cannot apply to any of that,” said Mr Shanmugam. “It’s only when you say that ... specific facts are not true or you put out lies, then you’re required to carry a health warning. I don’t see that as an issue.” … [Read more...] about POFMA encourages democracy, does not disadvantage opposition: Shanmugam on upcoming General Election

REUTERS: Webb Simpson delivered a putting master class to grab the lead and Nick Watney withdrew after testing positive for COVID-19 at the second round of the RBC Heritage in South Carolina on Friday. Former U.S. Open champion Simpson mixed nine birdies with three bogeys for a six-under-par 65 that left him at 12 under for the week at Harbour Town course on Hilton Head Island and one shot clear of Bryson DeChambeau (64) and Canadian Corey Conners (63). "I had a few par savers that kind of kept my momentum going, but I did drop three shots, all kind of physical errors," said world No. 9 Simpson. "I'm thinking well right now, so I'd rather physical errors than mental errors." The brilliant play of the leaders, who went out in the morning wave when scoring conditions were ideal before inclement weather forced a brief halt to play in the afternoon, took a back seat to the news of Watney's positive test. Watney said he felt symptoms of the disease when he arrived to the course … [Read more...] about Simpson grabs lead, Watney exits with COVID-19 at Harbour Town
