Rare pink dolphins are returning to the waters near Hong Kong and Macau as a result of halted marine traffic in one of the world’s busiest sea lanes due to the coronavirus pandemic. As the impact of the pandemic has halted ferries, the beautiful marine creatures seem to be thriving. However, scientists still remain deeply concerned about their long-term survival in the Pearl River Delta region despite the hopeful signs, reports the Bangkok Post. The region comprises a number of mainland Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Dongguan, as well as the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. The […]

Earlier this week, analysts with the cryptocurrency analysis firm Arcane Research were musing that new developments appeared to have slowed in the fast-growing blockchain arena of decentralized finance, known as DeFi. But they predicted any lull was likely to be temporary. “A new boost for DeFi tokens could be right around the corner,” Arcane wrote Tuesday in a report. “The sector seems determined to grow further.” As if on cue, the decentralized exchange Uniswap late Wednesday made a surprise delivery of its new governance tokens to anyone who had ever used the project. Traders each got at least 400 of the UNI tokens, worth about $1,200 – […]

Fight fans have waited 15 years for Mike Tyson’s comeback fight but it seems as though they will have to wait a bit longer after reports suggest that the former heavyweight champ’s bout against Roy Jones has been postponed. A report from The Athletic states that the much-hyped eight-round exhibition between the two ring icons has been delayed from its original September 12 date until November 28. The reason for the postponement, they say, is to allow for further promotional build-up to entice more lucrative television deals and pay-per-view opportunities in various markets. Jones Jr. has reportedly approved the date change. […]

Shortly before the summer kicked off, Donald Trump was hopeful. The president, his campaign, and his top lieutenants in his administration were busy branding Trump the face of an upcoming American rebirth. He and his White House staff made a big push to position him as the frontman for economic revival, as summertime employment upticks seemed on the horizon and as experts and politicians kept their fingers crossed that the season’s heat would help spur a respite from the global pandemic. Trump and his 2020 team kept promising that they were doing everything they could to get him back on the […]
Guardian: The upper section is seen partially empty as Donald Trump speaks at the BOK Center in Tulsa. There have been so many reasons to feel embarrassed about Donald Trump. There was the time he paid off a porn star. There was the time he lied about the size of his inauguration crowd. The time he talked about the big water around Puerto Rico. The time he thought you could kill the coronavirus by injecting yourself with bleach. But nothing truly comes close to the embarrassment of his so-called comeback rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday. It was so toe-curlingly cringeworthy, […]

South Korean star Song Ka-yeon is eyeing a return to MMA six years after her first professional fights – and says ideals of beauty and the discrimination she suffered as a ring girl have fueled her relentless training.

A Second wave of Covid-19 cases is a major risk for the energy market, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned. The agency raised its outlook for oil demand, which will still see a record drop this year.

That’s around 700,000 bpd more than the IEA said in its previous report. “Major uncertainties remain. The biggest is whether governments can ease the lockdown measures without sparking a resurgence of Covid-19 outbreaks,” the report said. […]

GAZIANTEP, Turkey—Iraq is witnessing the biggest resurgence by the so-called Islamic State since the government officially declared victory over the organization on Dec. 7, 2017. Beginning over the weekend, ISIS launched coordinated attacks on pro-Iranian militiamen in nearly two dozen areas across both the Sunni north and Shi’a south of the country. According to statistics cited by Iraqi government and pro-Iranian sources, 30 members of the Iraq security forces were killed and several dozen wounded. The real numbers are likely higher.
