As the data compiled by the global affairs company demonstrates, daily reports of new COVID-19 cases are trending upward in the U.S. while remaining relatively stagnant in countries within the European Union. The graph was published the same day the U.S. reported more than 36,000 new COVID-19 cases, its largest single-day increase yet. “While there are around 4,000 new COVID cases in the EU each day, the United States is now recording more than 30,000 new cases of the virus each day—eight times higher than Europe,” the news outlet reported....
The term’ final girl’ was coined by Carol J. Clover in her book Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film and originally referred to the sole survivor (ideally, blonde, petite, and attractive) of a bloody massacre, who manages to defeat or at least escape the villain by a stroke of luck, a timely help of an authority figure like a police officer (preferably, strong and male), or her quick thinking....

United have not lost any of their 10 matches since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as Jose Mourinho’s interim successor in December. Solskjaer has earned acclaim for his impact on the team, moving away from the pragmatism which typified Mourinho’s reign and bringing back more of an attacking style of play. That has seen United charge back into contention for the Champions League spots, and they head into Saturday’s trip to Fulham – who are in the relegation zone – just two points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea....
PSG captain Silva has been sidelined since he hobbled out of their humbling 5-1 defeat at second-placed Lille after 16 minutes on April 14. The 34-year-old’s injury dealt another blow to Thomas Tuchel and his thin squad and they have suffered in the defender’s absence. Presnel Kimpembe’s form has caused concern and the champions have won just one of their past seven matches in all competitions, losing the Coupe de France final to Rennes on penalties....
Belgian international goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said on Saturday his English Premier League club Chelsea have said he can stay on loan at Spanish Cup winners Atletico Madrid next season. The 21-year-old, who made his professional debut for Belgian side Genk when he was just 16, had a superb campaign with Atletico where he won the European Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, which led to him being named Primera Liga goalkeeper of the season....
However, in the last four days, the Red Devils have managed to shut out both domestic and European opponents. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side did not concede against Chelsea in the Premier League over the weekend and followed it up with a flawless performance against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, which culminated in a 5-0 victory. After a torrid start to the campaign, this is exactly what Solskjaer and Manchester United needed....
RELATED: Highest Rated Manga According To MyAnimeList It’s a common trope in school anime to feature some of the most ridiculous student councils who play fast and loose not just with the rules of the school but also with the rules of physics and reality. Needless to say, student councils in most anime are overpowered and exaggerated. Here are some of their most prevalent traits across many titles. 8 They’re All Beautiful People For a student council to stand out, they would have to be the cream of the crop among the sea of CGI and clone students....

Let’s hope Ted Turner can now make billion-dollar philanthropy as cool as an invitation to Herb Allen’s Sun Valley retreat. Turner is only one of more than 150 billionaires in the United States; 10 years ago there were 49. If you spent all day counting fast, it would take you 90 years to reach 1 billion. A billion yields at least $2 million a week in interest. These guys had better start giving it away faster....
Both parties are pledged to effectively kill the capital-gains tax on home sales, a move that could richly reward families for whom the current $125,000 exclusion for those over 55 doesn’t apply: a $75,000 gain on a home can cost a middle-level taxpayer $21,000 in federal taxes. That might be enough to make it worth keeping the house until Congress acts. Student workers don’t have the same wait-and-see luxury. The exclusion for employer-provided tuition goes off the books on May 31, so you should have your boss pay for summer school early....

Joy-Con drift is a bothersome phenomenon that causes the affected controller to detect directional input where there is none, which can be extremely frustrating to players as it inevitably causes them to make mistakes, like selecting the wrong attack in Pokemon or inadvertently moving a character to a place where they might be vulnerable in Mario + Rabbids. One New Pokemon Snap player became a victim of Joy-Con drift and had their hard-earned, perfect shot of the rare and notoriously skittish Meloetta ruined thanks to the infamous controller issue....
