Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau was finally discharged from hospital last week, two months after a horse-riding accident. “I’ve returned home,” Lau announced on his official Web site, Andy World Club. “Trust me!!” he added, “I’ll be able to stand up by myself very soon!”
The 55-year-old Lau is one of Hong Kong’s “four heavenly kings of pop.” He was badly injured in January when he was thrown off a horse during a TV commercial shoot in Thailand. The accident left him with pelvic bone fractures and tendon injuries.
The accident showed fans the difficult side of stardom. Supermodel Lin Chi-ling and actor William Feng were also injured when they were thrown off a horse when working. Action movie star Jacky Chan is no stranger to injuries, either. And Selina Jen of pop group “S.H.E” suffered serious burns during a TV drama shoot.

香港超級巨星劉德華意外落馬兩個月之後，上週終於出院，並在官網「華仔天地」宣布：「我回家了」。他還說：「相信我！！我很快就可以自己站起來！」
五十五歲的華仔是香港「四大天王」之一，他一月在泰國拍廣告時從馬背上摔下，造成骨盆多處骨折、肌腱拉傷。
這起意外也讓粉絲看到明星背後的辛酸，名模林志玲和演員馮紹峰，都曾在工作時墜馬受傷，對動作影星成龍來說，受傷更是家常便飯，女子團體「S.H.E」成員Selina（任家萱），甚至在拍電視劇時嚴重燒傷。

US President Donald Trump has renewed his ambition to take control of Greenland for national security reasons and questioned whether Denmark has any legal right to the Arctic island. The debate has revived scrutiny of how Greenland became part of Denmark, its current self-rule and path to independence, and Washington’s military footprint. HOW DID DENMARK GET GREENLAND? Greenland was inhabited by Inuit peoples from Asia and North America intermittently from around 2,500 BC. Around 985 AD, Vikings led by Erik the Red settled in southern Greenland, farming and building churches. Around the same time, ancestors of today’s Inuit arrived, living as hunters

Owls have long fascinated people with their distinctive appearance and mysterious habits. These nocturnal birds possess large, round eyes and a flat facial disc. Their feathers come in shades of brown, gray, or white, helping them blend easily into the darkness. The most remarkable trait of owls is that they can turn their heads without damaging blood vessels. Contrary to popular belief, they can only rotate their heads up to 270 degrees, not 360 degrees. Owls have 14 cervical vertebrae, which is twice as many as humans. This special physical structure compensates for their inability to move their eyes within their
AI-generated summaries are shaking up the media world. Tools like Google’s AI Overviews now provide users with direct answers above the search results, resulting in fewer people clicking on news links. For publishers who rely on that traffic to generate advertising revenue, this shift is hitting hard. The fallout is measurable. Many sites have seen a sharp drop in traffic since AI summary features rolled out. An analysis revealed that a news outlet that had once ranked first on Google lost up to 79% of its traffic when its link appeared beneath an AI-generated summary. Statistics also show that
