The original Dragon Week ran from July 31 to August 7. Niantic confirmed that new Timed Research will appear for all Pokémon Go players when the makeup event starts on Friday....

Both the Isle of Armor in June and Crown Tundra in the fall will collectively introduce more than 200 older-generation Pokémon to Sword and Shield. It should be noted that players don’t have to pay for the Expansion Pass to gain access to these returning Pokémon either. Game Freak confirmed that an update will be pushed out when Isle of Armor is released, allowing trainers to obtain these Pokémon via trade or by transferring using Pokémon Home....

However, there are plenty of Pokémon Dens that trainers will find in the Wild Area. There are 99 Pokémon Dens in total, and they each contain a different pool of Pokémon. Each Den can be activated randomly each day or by clearing all Max Raid battles in the Wild Area. Trainers can also use Wishing Pieces to activate a Pokémon Den, but if you activate the correct Den you may find a Gigantamax Pokémon....

As with every Max Raid Battle, defeating the Pokémon will give rewards like Armorite Ores and powerful TRs to teach your Pokémon new moves.

Given that it is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA), each of the game’s fighters will fit into a designated role, whether they are attackers, defenders, speedsters, supporters, or even all-rounders. For the best chance at winning a match, teams will need to ensure that they have diverse representation from across each of these groups. For example, it is not advisable to have a lineup comprised solely of heavy hitters, as this would leave no one left to provide healing or to take on more agile opponents....

If you’ve been a military man for 30 years, and the president tells you he needs you, it’s hard to say no. I went to the White House on the evening of Nov. 9. After the Gore/Perot debate, we talked. It was a candid look at national security. I was very taken with both his interest in the issues and his candor about the problems. I thought it was a request for backstairs advice....

The post, made on January 21, was captioned “Who’s READY?!!!! [three fire emojis],” with Sikora setting his location as “Start of Route 66"⁠—the highway that goes from the East Coast where Tommy has lived to the West Coast we see him heading towards at the end of Power Season 6, Episode 13. A potential Tommy spin-off already has the backing of Power stars past and present. LaKeisha actress La La Anthony, for example, answered Sikora’s caption with an enthusiastic “Me‼️‼️‼️‼️,” while Tariq star Michael Rainey Jr....

This was first hinted at in an Entertainment Weekly interview with Power creator Courtney Kemp after Episode 11, who said, “it is Paz for next week,” and confirmed by the Season 6, Episode 12 synopsis, which reads, “Paz, still grieving Angela’s [Lela Loren] death, seeks allies in the pursuit of justice or vengeance so she forms an alliance with Warner [Evan Handler]; they hatch a plan to arrest Ghost for the murder of Angela but things don’t go as planned....

Though Tommy appears in the promo for the episode, the synopsis for the episode suggests that he too may be meeting his end in the episode. It reads: “James ‘Ghost’ St. Patrick seeks vengeance. His former drug partner and brother-in-arms must pay for the ultimate betrayal.” However, the fact that Ghost is still alive in this synopsis confirms that at least part of Episode 13 will be set on the same day that Episodes 11 and 12 were, the day of Ghost’s death....

“To tell these American citizens (most of whom were born here) to ‘go back’ to the ‘crime infested places from which they came’ is racist and disgusting,” Amash wrote on Twitter, sharing Trump’s controversial tweet. Amash, whose parents immigrated to the U.S., was the lone GOP member of Congress calling for Trump’s impeachment before leaving the party this month, declaring himself an independent. The president wrote: “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” after lashing out at the “‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen” for “telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run....

But the friendship could be tested in the weeks ahead. Rove is in a war he didn’t expect–not only with McCain, but with critics of his stewardship of the Bush campaign. “We’re doing fine,” Rove said. “Everybody’s calm.” But outside the “Iron Triangle” of Bush’s closest aides, it’s a different story. Out loud, and sotto voce, GOP critics accuse Bush’s Austin-based team of a multitude of misjudgments: being too blase about New Hampshire, overscripting their candidate, muddying his message....

‘I’d never go to Barca, but it’s the right place for Rakitic’ Michel won six La Liga titles and two UEFA Cups during a long spell as a Madrid player, eventually going on to coach their B team and latterly, Sevilla and Marseille. Madrid saw their record unbeaten run come to an end a 40 games to Sevilla in La Liga recently, having scraped to a 3-3 draw a few days before against the same team in the Copa del Rey....

The duo entered the NBA in the 1984 Draft and if Jordan developed into a global icon over the next decade, Barkley established himself as one of the league’s brightest star. Jordan and Barkley were both part of the Dream Team that triumphed at the 1992 Olympic Games and shared a strong friendship. The relationship, however, turned sour eight years ago when Barkley criticized Jordan’s handling of the Charlotte Bobcats....
