Squirtle is the fourth figure in the Pokémon/Funko collaboration. Tthe Pikachu figure - a Target exclusive - was the first, followed by Bulbasaur and then Charmander. Bulbasaur was released in February and Charmander became available for purchase in late March. It’s unclear why Squirtle took so long to be announced, but fans of the Water-type Starter Pokémon from the Kanto region won’t have to wait much longer. While Funko didn’t announce when Squirtle will be released, the announcement means it’s coming soon....

When asked about the F-16s during a press conference, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said the transfer of any aircraft to the Eastern European country could happen only in agreement with NATO countries, but added that his country “will act in full coordination.” Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, also commented on the matter in a Monday post on his Telegram channel. “The work on obtaining F-16 fighters is ongoing,” he wrote....

After failing to locate the woman for several weeks, police issued an arrest warrant this month and filed a notice with Interpol.

Authorities said Kevin Arnold, 49, was identified by using genealogy after his DNA was connected between Smith’s case and a 2004 sexual assault case. However, he died from liver and kidney failure in hospice care in August last year, KSAZ reported. He was never charged with either crime. On the morning of June 7, 1995, Smith was walking to school with her sister and friends when she forgot her project due that day back at home, so she turned around to grab it, WSOC reported....

The lost and dehydrated young imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti) was spotted as it struggled to fly at the Escorial Royal Monastery near the Spanish capital Madrid. In a video, the bird of prey could be seen bounding along an exterior wall in the courtyard of the somber building, apparently trying to take flight. Royal officials called for help as the juvenile bird seemed unable to leave the ancient retreat, once home to Spain’s kings....

The Detectives’ Endowment Association (DEA) shared a clip of the incident to Twitter on Monday showing the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Akeele Morgan, striking a detective who was investigating the burglary of a pharmacy in Queens.

Rodman, who has a history of alcohol-related offenses, was said to have had a brief conversation with the driver and then left the scene without exchanging information....

I used to think of Cheney as Bush’s human training wheels: a helpful, steadying influence who would be jettisoned once the new president got his balance. I thought that Bush had picked his running mate to reassure the country and would want to show his independence from him at the earliest possible moment. I don’t think that anymore. Bush not only believes in delegating responsibility, he believes in doing it permanently....

“He died after running into a dead-end tunnel, whimpering and crying and screaming all the way,” Trump told reporters. He explained that the extremist militant commander, who the U.S. designated as a terrorist, died after U.S. forces stormed his compound. Al-Baghdadi ran down a dead-end tunnel with three children and detonated an explosive vest as American troops closed in, according to the president. No U.S. troops were killed in the operation, but Trump told reporters an American military dog, who chased al-Baghdadi down the tunnel, was harmed in the blast....

Scientists behind the research say women on low incomes lack the health choices and lifestyle care available to their richer neighbors. Researchers at the Austrian Academy of Sciences studied the socio-economic background of cardiovascular patients in Vienna, the Austrian capital. They discovered that poorer people suffered heart attacks sooner in life than wealthier people and that this was even more pronounced in women. The academy said in a statement: “Eating a balanced diet, avoiding stress, getting plenty of exercise and also keeping an eye on your blood pressure: if you live this healthily, you can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease....

The half-hour program, which airs three times daily on VH-1, is sort of a thinking man’s ““Beavis and Butt-head,’’ the latest - and perhaps cleverest - twist on the current rage for deconstructionist entertainment. ““Pop-Up Video’’ takes existing rock videos - a mix of current hits and beloved classics - and enhances them by adding text blocks that ““pop up’’ on screen every 10 seconds or so. Some ““pops,’’ as the text blocks are called, provide behind-the-scenes detail....

In 2017, the priest wrote a book on the subject, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity, and regularly advocates for LGBT Catholics at live events and online....

With data presented in the form of top ten lists and charts, it’s a very comprehensive and surprisingly analytic overview of Pornhub’s user activity. It will tell you things like which fictional characters are being searched for the most, if any particular regions of the U....

The Taycan, Porsche’s first electric car, was first released in 2019. In the last three quarters, the car has outsold the 911. A GTS trim level traditionally stands as the spot in the lineup that’s tuned for high-level performance without sacrificing comfort. Taking many of its cues from the top level of the Taycan trim line, the GTS variant displays some visual differences. The GTS is outfitted with a SportDesign front fascia, SportDesign side skirts and side window trim in high gloss-black....

While mucus itself isn’t harmful—it helps protect you from illness and provides lubrication—postnasal drip can cause itchiness or a tickle in your throat, a cough, frequent throat clearing, and hoarseness. Postnasal drip may be temporary—for example, clearing up after an infection passes. Or it can be more chronic, as is often the case with allergies or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Treatment may be directed at easing symptoms, as well as treating an underlying condition, if present....
