REUTERS: England fast bowler Jofra Archer has said they have not forgotten about the 'Black Lives Matter' movement after former West Indies bowler Michael Holding criticised the country's board (ECB) when players stopped taking a knee before matches. England and West Indies players took a knee before each game in their three-test series in July but the symbolic gesture was discontinued for the Pakistan series as well as the two limited overs series against Australia. The ECB had released a statement justifying their decision to stop taking a knee which was described as 'lame' by Holding, who also took issue with Australian captain Aaron Finch's statements when the visitors said they would not take a knee. "We have not forgotten, no one here has forgotten about 'Black Lives Matter'," Archer said. "I think it is a bit harsh for Michael Holding to not do some research before criticising.

NEW YORK: Frances Tiafoe says he would have probably laughed if someone told him he will make the third round of his home Grand Slam at the U.S. Open when he contracted the novel coronavirus in July. Tiafoe, 22, returned a positive test for the virus and was forced to withdraw from the All-American Team Cup exhibition tournament in Atlanta. He was subsequently unable to compete in the World TeamTennis season at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia while his buildup to the U.S. Open was further hampered by his first round loss to Andy Murray at the Western & Southern Open. "I was nervous. I was like ... this is not what I need right now. I probably would have laughed," Tiafoe told reporters on Thursday after crossing the second-round hurdle for the first time at the U.S. Open. "I was pissed off, I was real negative.

Guys telling me … [Read more...] about Tiafoe feeling positive again after COVID-19 negativity

SINGAPORE: Ever since personal finance blog The Woke Salaryman put out its first article last year — about the most important things to do to save S$100,000 by the age of 30 — its rise in Singapore’s personal finance landscape has been meteoric. And it started with an observation by one of its co-founders, He Ruiming, when he was working in advertising. “(My industry peers) were going to claw machines, buying sneakers, indulging in S$7 coffee every day,” he recalls. “Many creative people like to spend money on stuff that we wear as badges of identity — like, ‘oh this is me, I drink cold brew every morning.’” Whenever He shared “useful” articles on personal finance with these creative folk, he was told the articles from established voices on the scene, such as the Seedly community, were “so boring”. That was when he realised there needed to be a “really low bar” for personal finance — a platform “so accessible” that “even if you were a coffee-drinking, sneaker-buying person … [Read more...] about The rise of personal finance bloggers, out to save financially illiterate millennials
