It will be the first time since the CARES Act was passed in March 2020 that the weekly jobless benefits will not be doled out. Roughly 7.5 million unemployed Americans will lose all their unemployment benefits, according to estimates from the progressive think tank The Century Foundation....

Del Potro hurt his knee when slipping during a first-round victory over Denis Shapovalov at the Queen’s Club Championships on Wednesday. The 2009 US Open champion only returned to the ATP Tour at the Madrid Open in May after an absence of almost three months, during which time he underwent new regenerative knee treatment. Del Potro could face another lay-off after the injury-plagued Argentine’s fall on a rain-affected day of his first grass-court tournament of the season in London....

Their latest defeat was 2-0 to Switzerland but the scoreline would have been much worse were it not for goalkeeper Shin, who performed heroics. “We are now 10 days in (to the Olympics) and I hope we can have 10 more days,” said Shin, the star performer who single-handedly kept the scoreline respectable....

“After months of aggressive cost-cutting and proactive capital-raising, today we updated employees about a topic we’ve always dreaded and the action that was always a last resort in the context of this COVID-19 pandemic: involuntary furloughs,” the airline said in a memo to employees Wednesday. “This morning, each of our operations leaders communicated directly with their teams to let them know that about 36,000 United frontline employees will be notified, either directly or through a union representative, of potential furloughs on October 1,” the airline said in a memo to employees Wednesday....

U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said in a diplomatic note sent to Ethiopia’s U.N. Mission that the U.N.’s “longstanding legal position” that the doctrine of declaring someone “persona non grata”—or unwelcome—doesn’t apply to U.N. personnel. He also informed Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed about the policy exception via a phone call with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday. “The application of this doctrine to United Nations officials is contrary to obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and the privileges and immunities to be afforded to the United Nations and its officials,” Haq said....

In an interview with Fox News, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo suggested that TikTok and other Chinese social media apps could be banned. Pompeo stated that while he did not want to “get out in front of” President Trump, he confirmed banning TikTok is something that the US government is considering. “With respect to Chinese apps on people’s cell phones, I can assure you the United States will get this one right too,” he said....

But fear not, for Minnesota has the best giveaway we've seen in a while.

The shark’s tracker pinged just west of the Dry Tortugas islands—located at the end of the Florida Keys—on Monday, the Associated Press reported. The female shark, known as Unama’ki, weighs more than 2,000 pounds and measures 15 feet, 5 inches in length.

Based on feedback from the focus testers, the ending should prove to be a divisive element and is certain to spawn lots of discussion among fans. Druckmann went on to add that a feeling of indifference would be the worst thing, opting to rather have people hate it than be indifferent, as that would signal that the studio failed to reach its goals of making fans feel emotion. When asked specifically if Drake would make it out alive in the end, Druckmann played coy and gave the answer everyone expects in that he wouldn’t tell....

Pardew said he had talks with the board over his team’s worrying form but the discussions were not about his future. Palace’s encouraging start to the campaign has been long forgotten after the south London club lost six successive league games, which has seen them slide down the table to 17th, only managing to stay out of the relegation zone on goal difference. “The chairman and the board here have been fantastically supportive,” Pardew told reporters on Friday....

“Blood Atonement,” Under the Banner of Heaven’s finale subtly renders on the question that has loomed over its past few episodes: who is the one mighty and strong? “The One” is meant to put God’s house in order and this power is part of what has corrupted Ron (Worthington) and Dan (Russell). However, “Blood Atonement” offers a new suggestion that neither of the Lafferty brothers is the coveted “One.” More than that, Under the Banner of Heaven’s finale does something that so few crime dramas do, and leaves out the punishment that follows the apprehension of the criminals....

All three of these games are different in their design philosophies. Some have puzzles to break up the action and some are all about loot. What about these hidden gems that PS3 fans may or may not remember?...

RELATED: PlayStation 3 Games Turning 10 In 2022 (That You Should Replay) It’s one of the darkest video game tales around, but well made to be sure. Dishonored and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots are also very good stealth games on PS3.

What Are Radio Waves? AM stands for Amplitude Modulation, and FM stands for Frequency Modulation. Both AM and FM radio programs are transmitted over the air via radio waves, which are part of a range of electromagnetic waves that include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared, and microwave. Electromagnetic waves are all around, everywhere, at different frequencies. Radio waves have properties similar to light waves (such as reflection, polarization, diffraction, and refraction), but radio waves exist at a frequency that your eyes aren’t sensitive to....

Having cleared that out, let’s proceed. It all started on 2 October 2011. I was watching Chennai v Trinidad and Tobago, a Champions League T20 fixture. With T and T restricted to 123, I watched in horror as MS Dhoni, one of the best limited overs batsmen in modern day cricket, struggled to lay bat on ball against an unheralded West Indian with a mohawk. In all, Dhoni scored 7 runs off 22 balls in the match, and his struggles were finally ended by that skinny little West Indian, who eventually had figures of 3 for 8 in 4 overs....
