The new trailer and accompanying explanation video revealed an enormous number of details. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet feature the Paldea region, and players control a student enrolled at the Naranja Academy or the Uva Academy. There is an assortment of staff and students to meet, as well as some sort of special “Treasure Hunt” assignment to undertake. Along the way, players will meet the legendary Pokemon Koraidon and Miraidon, and use them as all-purpose vehicles to traverse Paldea....

This being the first proper Nintendo direct since late 2019, a lot of hype is surrounding the event for some show stopping reveals. Much like anything of this nature, it is best to keep expectations in check, but with so many rumors doing the rounds and Nintendo themselves hinting at when players could expect Breath of the Wild 2 news, its hard not to get excited for what awaits in the land of Hyrule....

While some may not enjoy the ranking system, it is a fun way to get everyone in the roster involved, giving them something to work towards, and hopefully, AEW can do this the right way. The official rankings are released on Friday and given some of the results that have occurred over the past few days, it’s hard to predict them perfectly, but here is what we think the AEW Men’s Top 5 will look like....

Poile hired former New Jersey Devils coach John Hynes as the third coach in franchise history Tuesday, less than 24 hours after firing Peter Laviolette. The Predators announced the hiring Tuesday before a morning skate in preparation for their home game against Boston, after which Nashville embarks on a three-game road trip. Poile said the Predators are much better than they have performed this season with some players way playing below their potential or the team’s expectations....

When it comes to the sex of a baby, Americans still prefer having a boy over a girl—but only just. In a 2018 Gallup Poll, 36 percent of Americans said they would want a boy compared with 28 percent who said they would rather have a girl. More tellingly perhaps, 36 percent said it wouldn’t matter or they didn’t have an opinion. The preference for boys is largely driven by men, with 55 percent of males quizzed as part of the study saying they would like a son, while just 18 percent wanted a daughter....

The video, found here, was posted to TikTok last week by Maddy Cifelli (@madi_lane_). So far, it has received more than 3 million views. “When your ex and his wife are in THE SAME labor and delivery room,” the video’s text overlay reads. In the video, Cifelli is lying in her hospital bed and lip-synching along to a popular TikTok sound, the lyrics of which are: “Oh, what a time to be alive....

It was an intense battle between the Mumbai Rockets and the Ahmedabad Smash Masters to secure the services of Prannoy. In the end, the Mumbai franchise realised that the Ahmedabad franchise was not going to back out at any cost and consequently, gave up the battle. The eventual cost of Rs 62 lakhs meant a mammoth increment (nearly 250 percent) for the young shuttler. Prannoy will have a very able partner in women’s World No....

In case you didn’t know Manchester City emerged as the Premier League champions of a long and intense title battle after they established a thumping 4-1 win over Brighton earlier today. The Manchester outfit went down 1-0 to the hosts in the first half before Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez, and Ilkay Gundogan all found the net to help the club lift their second consecutive Premier League title....

They broke a huge number of records in their surge to the 2017-18 title, and put every other team in the shade. But they would be wary of one thing as they embark on their 2018-19 season: the champions’ curse. Based on recent history, there seems to a ‘curse’ upon the PL champions; most of them have failed in their bid to defend the title. But here, we take a look at five reasons to believe why Man City will do so against the odds....

Arsenal got the season started on Friday, beating Crystal Palace on the road and confirming the positive form shown during the preseason. A day later the Gunners were joined at the top of the table by rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who beat Southampton handily 4-1. Saturday saw the biggest surprise result of the weekend so far as Liverpool, who finished second last season, were held to a 2-2 draw by recently promoted Fulham....

The Dallas quarterback found a way to get there, and get his first playoff victory two years after a sensational rookie season ended in disappointment. Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 137 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, Prescott scored on a sneak after his dazzling head-over-heels run and the Cowboys hung on for a 24-22 wild-card win over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night. The win for the Cowboys (11-6) was the first for Elliott and Prescott after losing a divisional game in their playoff debut as first-year stars two years ago....

It’s easy to be skeptical. After all, so much of what we know about American health care is driven by a profit motive. But it turns out that there really are good programs to help many people get their prescription drugs at a reduced cost or even free. Prescription assistance programs (PAPs) are available across the country. They work by subsidizing the cost of prescription drugs through government or not-for-profit advocacy programs, or as public relations tools representing for-profit pharmaceutical companies....

He was loyal to a fault, and paid for it. According to congressional investigators, Haldeman was Nixon’s righthand man and alter ego–the gatekeeper, go-between and implementer-in-chief for the president’s 1972 re-election campaign and the administration’s covert war against Vietnam dissenters. These activities merged disastrously on June 17, 1972, when five men working for the Committee to Re-Elect the President were arrested in what Ron Ziegler, Nixon’s press secretary, dismissively described as a “third-rate burglary attempt” at the Democratic National Committee’s offices in the Watergate complex....

For most of their existence, AEW has been accused of favoring smaller, spot wrestlers over the traditional beef that typically fills a pro wrestling ring. There were talented big men in the company, but none of them really reached the level of being a legitimate world title threat. They were given sparing television time, and would often disappear for weeks at a time. (See: Brian Cage) That has changed a bit recently, as a group that includes Keith Lee, Wardlow, and Lance Archer have led a big man renaissance in All Elite Wrestling in the last few weeks....

Sedykh, who won the 2019 WRPF competition, was initially able to walk the weight back; his knees buckled in the downward movement of his lift, however, resulting in the injury. He was immediately rushed to a hospital, where he underwent six hours of surgery to repair his knees and quadriceps, per Yahoo Sports. “The main thing is that I must lie motionless in bed for two months,” Sedykh said of the injuries (via Yahoo Sports)....

The boxed warning: Premature discontinuation of Pradaxa increases the chance of thrombotic events (when blood clots block veins or arteries): Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) increases the risk of thrombotic events. To reduce this risk, consider treatment with another anticoagulant if Pradaxa is discontinued for a reason other than bleeding or completion of a course of therapy. Spinal/epidural hematoma: Epidural or spinal hematomas (a serious bruise) may occur in people treated with Pradaxa who are receiving neuraxial (placing a needle between the vertebrae) anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture....

Jayapal, a Democrat who represents Washington state’s 7th District, said investigations into Representatives Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Paul Gosar of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama are “critical” to the “functioning of Congress” and of democracy. She called upon the House Committee on Ethics and the Office of Congressional Ethics to conduct the investigations and report their findings to the U.S. Department of Justice. “It is critical for the functioning of Congress — and therefore the functioning of our democracy — that this investigation is conducted,” Jayapal said in a Wednesday news release....

“This award means a lot to me. I am grateful to AIFF for recognising the efforts of referees in the country,” Pratap Singh told AIFF Media. “This is a collective achievement. I would not like to take all the credit myself. The Referees Department and all the Referees under its umbrella should be lauded equally. On the pitch we all thrive to give the best and ensure the game remains beautiful....

Boise State's meltdown Can't imagine a more impressive Week 1 win than Washington's dismantling of Boise State. The last time the Broncos were that outclassed, Dan Hawkins was taking a young team with a first-year starter at quarterback into Sanford Stadium and getting drilled by Georgia. That was 2005. This is now: Boise State is a completely different offense than it was under former QB Kellen Moore because Boise State really is completely different....
