Miranda Devine: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax was a 'dirty trick' sanctioned by Hillary Clinton Fox News Article From & Read More ( Miranda Devine: The Trump-Russia collusion hoax was a 'dirty trick' sanctioned by Hillary Clinton - Fox News )Arguably, the most important stat in competitive Pokemon is Speed. The faster your Pokemon is, the more likely it is to move first. So if you want your team to move before the others, you've gotta make like Sonic and go fast!
Or do you? Slower Pokemon seem to have a trick up their sleeves. More specifically, a whole Trick Room. The move Trick Room completely reverses the turn order. That means that the slower you are, the sooner you'll move. But unlike weather and terrain, there isn't a Pokemon that can automatically set up Trick Room. So if you're going to want to take advantage of Trick Room's effects, these Pokemon will be your best choice.
Believe it or not, the most important part of setting up Trick Room is actually setting it up. There are two important things a Pokemon needs to be a successful setter: Fake Out immunity and bulk. And Jellicent has those in spades.
Because of its Ghost-typing, Jellicent is completely immune to Fake Out. But that's not all! Jellicent also has an immunity to the incredibly common Water-type attacks due to its Water Absorb ability. Combine this with great bulk and awesome support moves like Will-O-Wisp and Jellicent makes a great choice to start this list off.
Oranguru easily fills in the bulky quotient a Trick Room setter needs with stats that are similar to Jellicent. It also has that Fake Out immunity because of its ability Inner Focus which prevents flinching. So what sets it apart from other bulky Trick Room Pokemon?
That would be its signature move, Instruct. Instruct forces a Pokemon to use the last move it used a second time. For example, if you Eruption with Torkoal, Oranguru could make it use it a second time. That's immensely powerful and can easily start taking out your opponent.
Reuniclus is a Pokemon that was built for Trick Room. It has a ton of health, a massive Special Attack stat, and almost no Speed. But does this make it a better sweeper or setter? Well, why not both?
Reuniclus is one of the rare Pokemon that is meant to set up for itself. It can recover its own health, hit almost all Pokemon with Psychic and Focus Blast, and prevent extra damage with the Magic Guard ability. And, if you just want a bulky setter, try its pre-evolution Duosion with an Eviolite!
Both Runerigus and Cofagrigus make for fantastic Trick Room setters because of their bulk, Ghost-typing, and supportive move pool. But what makes them stand out from the others is their access to Body Press, a move that uses Defense instead of Attack, and their unique abilities.
Cofagrigus has Mummy which can be used to turn an opponent's ability into Mummy as well, while Runerigus continues to swap abilities with whichever Pokemon makes contact with it. Both of these can really mess up an opponent's team synergy, especially if they rely on weather-based strats.
Because of its Steel-typing, Bronzong takes the idea of a bulky Trick Room setter to a whole new level. This is especially true since it has a whopping nine resistances! It also has two immunities, assuming that you opt for its Levitate ability variant.
Bronzong also has a ton of unique support moves like Skill Swap, Gravity, both screens, and Safeguard. Bronzong may not be the flashiest Trick Room option, but it definitely gets the job done!
Hatterne is another great option for a combination setter and sweeper since it has a terrifying 136 base Special Attack stat and great coverage moves like Mystical Fire and Giga Drain. But there are some other tricks it has up its witchy sleeves that can't be ignored!
The first is Magic Bounce, an ability that sends status moves back at the opponent. That means that Hatterne can be a great setter to bring in later on in a match. The other is that it's usually paired with female Indeedee, another great Psychic-type that automatically summons Psychic Terrain. Not only does this prevent priority moves, but it makes Psychic-type moves even stronger. This duo can easily make their way through just about any team.
Mimikyu might seem like an odd choice since it actually has a decent 96 base Speed, but its Disguise ability and solid bulk mean that it can easily stick around to make sure that Trick Room is set up.
What's really cool about Mimikyu as a setter is that it can dish out serious damage while also supporting its teammates. Sure, it can use Will-O-Wisp and Taunt, but it can also hit hard with Play Rough and Shadow Claw. It can even use Shadow Sneak to make sure it can get the first attack even when slower Pokemon are out.
Trick Room allows a lot of Pokemon that you normally wouldn't think about to shine and this includes a lot of middle evolutions. One of the best examples of this is Dusclops who is able to be an incredible support Pokemon.
While most of its stats are low, its Defense and Special Defense are high even before Eviolite is equipped. This means that Dusclops can use this to set up Trick Room and help out its teammates with moves like Will-O-Wisp, Pain Split, and Ally Switch. It can even do some decent damage since it learns Night Shade, a move that always deals damage equal to the user's level. Because of all this, Dusclops is always an excellent choice for Trick Room Teams.
Here we have the greatest Trick Room setter and sweeper hybrid, Calyrex-Ice. It has everything! Awesome Attack, incredible bulk, great typing. Heck, it even gets two abilities! But what really sets it apart is its move pool.
Calyrex-Ice can learn Glacial Lance, a move that has a 130 base power and 100 percent accuracy. Combine this with High Horsepower, and you're hitting over half of all Pokemon for Super Effective Damage! Calyrex-Ice is a beast, but even with all of this, it isn't the best Trick Room setter.
There's an old adage that says, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This definitely applies to Porygon2. Having been around since the second generation, it would be easy for it to be outclassed. Yet, Porygon2 has been the premier Trick Room setter since 2012.
This is because of its bulk after Eviolite combined with reliable health recovery. Not only that, but Porygon2 gets access to great support moves like Thunder Wave, Eerie Impulse, and Teleport. It also has a decent Special Attack and can defend itself with Ice Beam, Tri-Attack, and Foul Play. Combine all of this with only one weakness and you have the best Trick Room Pokemon since the move was invented.

Executives at leading recruitment and technology companies have shared with CNBC their top tips for getting ahead in the workplace.
Workers continue to hold most of the cards in the labor market, with the "Great Resignation" still underway. Nevertheless, it's still important to understand the best ways to maximize your opportunities at work, particularly if we are set to face a recession in the near future.
Speaking to CNBC's Karen Tso on a panel at this year's World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Rebecca Henderson, CEO of global businesses at human resource services firm Randstad, urged women in particular to negotiate and ask for they want.
"You're still in a very strong negotiating position, particularly skilled workers, and my best advice is to be very upfront with what you want and ask for it," she said.
Indeed, a survey by Fidelity Investments published in May found that 85% of Americans who tried to negotiate on the compensation they were offered for a new job, got at least some of what they asked for.
Meanwhile, Harry Moseley, global co-chief information officer at video conferencing software firm Zoom, believed it was important to be passionate, purposeful and enthusiastic, as well as encouraging workers to take risks.
"I am in my role at Zoom because of the risks that I took much earlier in my career," he said, adding that people shouldn't be intimidated to take chances.
Allen Blue, co-founder and vice president of product management at LinkedIn, said helping people was a good way to build your network: "You will love helping those people, it will be great, you will enjoy every minute of it, I swear, and you're gonna build a group of connections and relationships which are going to surround you with opportunity."
Moseley called this kind of network a "personal board" — a group of advisors made up of friends and colleagues that you can turn to for advice.

There is a great feeling of achievement in creating your own business. You can successfully work for yourself and have flexibility in your daily schedule. The potential for growth, expansion and money is unlimited as long as you are able to maintain your company’s progress and profits for the long haul.
In fact, starting a business is just the first step to a new career path or venture. Once that initial excitement fades, it becomes clear that starting a business is the easy part and keeping it alive is much harder.
With good business savvy and arming yourself with the right set of tools, you will be able to maintain your business and find new ways to make it thrive. Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you grow and develop your venture that will make the process a little simpler and help open new opportunities.
It’s crucial to dedicate time to connect in-person with people in your industry who might become valuable as potential partners, advisors or clients. Schedule weekly meetings or set a minimum number of networking events to attend per month. It's not unusual to spend many hours at coffee meetings, happy hours or discussion panels hoping to learn.
It is also equally important to grow your social media presence and be noticed in order to reach potential customers in your target market.
LinkedIn and Instagram are great ways to find others in your industry and keep your business relevant. This also allows you to stay top of mind with new, existing and potential customers.
Post stories or blogs on Facebook to engage with your audience and attract views, likes and direct messages. This will help you gain more visibility and followers.

If your company has several employees, you will quickly realize how valuable each is to the company and its success. The departure of one person can dramatically affect the functions of your business, and replacing that individual can be very difficult and time consuming.
Employees often suddenly leave or require time away without much notice. That is why you want to build your bench and protect your business with the assumption that there isn’t time to prepare. Building a bench in business means ensuring employees undergo some kind of leadership training to learn the duties of their superiors or coworker so that they can step in if someone is unable to work or leaves suddenly.
It is smart to regularly train your employees who can fill the void and keep the business running during this uneasy period of transition. Avoid scrambling for new employees or hiring hastily, both of which can be costly and time-consuming. Build your bench with immediate replacements and potential leaders from within.
The fastest and easiest way to inhibit growth and success is to push yourself to burnout, at which point it is hard to find the motivation and excitement you once had. The passion you have in the beginning is easy — keeping it around can be difficult when the thrill is gone.
When you find a good work-life balance where you enjoy work as well as time off to recharge and spend time with friends and family, you are more likely to be happy. You will find your business more internally rewarding. That sense of internal achievement is what we are all seeking, and a poor work-life balance can quickly jeopardize both.
When you are overworked or have too many projects going at once, you are unable to give each one your full attention and the effort becomes mediocre. This is disappointing to yourself and to your client — and bad for your long-term business. A happy founder, happy friends and family, and satisfied customers all work together to create a rewarding and solid business.

When running your business, it’s important to control your ego and avoid thinking that there is nothing else for you to learn. We are always students and there is always more to know. Businesses, like people, are never static. We are always changing.
Successful business owners consider themselves to be both a student and mentor. Be eager to keep growing and gaining knowledge and learn from others, whether they are young, old, early-stage business owners or late-stage. Adapt and transition in this evolving world and do so with an innovative mindset. Try to stay a step ahead.
Always continue your business education. Stay current with others in your industry and be curious and observant. Promote steady growth by implementing innovative ideas that can set you apart from your competitors. The brain is limitless in its capacity for knowledge.
And most of all, don’t forget to have fun.

It's officially tick season, and depending on where you live, that means it's more important to check yourself, your family members and your pets for those pesky bloodsuckers after you've spent time outdoors.
Ticks add an extra layer of anxiety, too, because they sometimes carry illness, such as Lyme disease -- so not finding them can have serious consequences. And if you accidentally break off part of the tick while trying to remove it, it can still transmit its illness and the bite can also get infected.
In short, ticks suck. So if you find one on your body, how do you get it off? The CDC recommends using fine-tipped tweezers for removing ticks, but what if you don't have any handy?
I discovered a little-known tip some years ago, and it forever changed how I remove the little biters. Here's how to remove ticks quickly, easily and safely -- if you don't have, or can't find, tweezers. (We've also got tips for how to protect your pets from ticks this season.)
Yes, you can remove a tick with a Q-tip.
Getty/Suchart Doyemah/EyeEmFolk methods for removing ticks are usually bunk for one of a few reasons. Either they aim to induce the tick to detach with time -- when you should remove ticks immediately to minimize chances of disease transmission -- or they risk injuring the tick's host (fire burns skin as well as ticks, after all).
But this method is quick and harmless. All you need is a Q-tip.
When you locate an attached tick, immediately grab a Q-tip, and gently twirl tight circles around the wound, lightly pulling at the tick. The goal here is not to pull the tick free, but to cause it to release and latch onto the Q-tip. It should happen within moments.
I've removed many ticks this way, and it is invariably quick and painless. What's more, you have virtually no risk of leaving mouth pieces in the wound, since the tick detaches itself.
If, on the off chance, something goes wrong, you can always still run out to the store and get some tweezers, as the CDC recommends.
Once you dispose of the tick, you can clean the bite with soap and water or alcohol -- and if you're worried about disease transmission, follow up with the appropriate steps.

In the vast sea of shrimp recipes, it can be a challenge to know which ones to try. Shrimp tacos can be prepared a million ways. Seafood chowder recipes are as numerous as they are inconsistent. And what do you do when you want a shrimp recipe that’s a little different than the same-old same-old? Here, five Eater editors have done the work for you, tracking down the best shrimp recipes we can find — from the old but still good standbys to the new greats.
Yewande Komolafe, NYT Cooking
If you say beignets three times in a mirror, chances are I will appear. Fried dough covered in confectioner’s sugar? Sign me up. But it was only when I made Yewande Komolafe’s corn and shrimp beignets that I realized how much I’d been missing by only pursuing sweet fried dough: beignets deserve a savory counterpart, too. Adjacent to Rhode Island-style clam fritters, these are perfect as a snack or full-on dinner. I had some trouble with the frying part, as is usually the case, but a splatter screen over the pot will save you from burns. In the end, the juice is worth the squeeze, especially when any kind of dipping sauce will do. I recommend something spicy, though — it will counterbalance the salty, sweet, and brine-y flavors of the beignets. — Dayna Evans, staff writer and editor of Eater Philly
Pati Jinich
Pati Jinich is my favorite source for Mexican dishes, and I discovered these tacos when testing recipes for a blurb about her latest cookbook, Treasures of the Mexican Table. They’re easy enough to tackle on a weeknight while offering a real depth of flavor from ingredients such as chipotle, poblano, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce. I love how the pan crisping step makes them almost quesadilla-like, and I’ll take any excuse to add Oaxacan cheese to my shopping list. — Missy Frederick, cities director

The first time I had a Cajun shrimp boil, it was at a New York Chinatown restaurant, fresh off a bus from Boston, when I was 18. I was absolutely smitten: As a kid who grew up cracking Dungeness crabs every year on Christmas Eve, I have a distinct appreciation for grabbing seafood with my hands and stuffing it in my face, especially when it’s covered in garlic and paprika. It has been hard to recreate the charm of that first shrimp boil, but I’ve found this New York Times recipe has worked as a jumping off point. Kelly, a dear friend of mine with roots in Louisiana and Mississippi, has helped me fine-tune and save a number of Cajun-Creole recipes I’ve bungled (gumbo, in particular), but I have a specific memory of her salvaging a birthday shrimp boil I almost destroyed. She doesn’t play around with the salt — ”the water should taste unbearably salty,” in her words — and there must be a few shakers of Tony Chachere’s nearby. Pro tip: Boil it outside, if you can help it, or open every single window in your house with the hood fan on full blast. It should be spicy enough that the air will make you wheeze. — Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Eater Portland editor
Farideh Sadeghin
I wouldn’t classify most chowders as “delicate,” but most chowders I’ve eaten don’t have the nuanced layers of flavor this seafood chowder has, which you build by making your own clam broth, cooking carrots and onions and fennel in it, and then adding white wine. This recipe is a great catch-all for whatever seafood looks good at the store, but I never skip the shrimp — cooking them for just a few minutes in that aromatics-infused cream ensures bouncy, slightly sweet shrimp that are my favorite bites in what is always a big bowl of perfect things. — Bettina Makalintal, senior reporter
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, The Wok: Recipes and Techniques
It’s rare that a cookbook inspires in me a massive lifestyle change, but in the months since getting J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s cookbook The Wok my partner and I have devoted ourselves to cooking our way through the book. We haven’t even made it to fried rice or noodles yet, but the kung pao shrimp was an instant hit. Kung pao shrimp is not even my normal order at most Chinese American restaurants, but Lopez-Alt’s technique of marinating shrimp in baking soda and salt to keep it plump and juicy is a revelation, and its seasoning of Sichuan peppercorns, honey, and Shaoxing wine creates a tingling, sweet sauce that I now want to eat with everything. Like many wok dishes, it comes together almost instantly, and is inspiring me to keep a lot more frozen shrimp around so I can make this a regular part of my diet. — Jaya Saxena, senior writer

We've all felt the dread of returning to work after a long weekend. It's nearly a truism that the pleasure one gets from a long weekend is more than offset by the mountain of work awaiting us upon our return. But there is a trick that can assuage at least some of the return-to-work pain.
First, it's important to understand that a good bit of the return-to-work pain stems from having a to-do list that looks like it grew tenfold during our day off. Based on the tens of thousands who have taken Leadership IQ's online quiz "How Do Your Time Management Skills Stack Up?" we know that more than two-thirds of people feel like they don't have enough time to do everything they want to do. And a good dose of that comes from the majority of people having a lengthy to-do list rather than a short list of essential priorities.
Perhaps most striking is that people who have a short list of essential priorities are nearly 50% more likely to leave work feeling like "today was a really successful day" than those with lengthy to-do lists.
Second, it's critical to know that about 71% of people report frequent interruptions when they're working. And even more striking is that the people who can block out interruptions are about 52% more likely to end their workday feeling like "today was a really successful day.”
While interruptions are intuitively disruptive, there's actually neurological evidence for the distress they cause. In one study, University of Michigan researchers found that people lost significant time when they switched from one task to another. And the more complicated the tasks, the more time was lost. So it's no surprise that the more people get interrupted, the less productive they become, and that lost productivity translates into an eroded sense of well-being.
Given the evidence that having a shorter list of priorities and preventing interruptions can drive both better productivity and well-being, what's the ideal action plan? For starters, whatever day you come back to the office, block out the first few hours of that day. Mark them off on your calendar, avoid meetings, and generally do whatever you can do to avoid getting interrupted by non-stop requests from others.
Then, during those hours that you've blocked off, pick a few (ideally one, two or three) top priorities and focus intensely on completing those tasks or projects. Completing those top priorities will drastically increase your sense of accomplishment and feelings of productivity. It's critical to have clearly defined tasks with start and end points; otherwise, you're likely to feel like you're getting swept away in a tidal wave of to-dos.
Now, the final piece of this plan is to map out the morning of your return-to-work at the end of the day before you start the long weekend. For example, if you're taking Monday off, then map out what your Tuesday morning will look like on Friday afternoon before you start your long weekend.
Most people are so eager to start the long weekend that they forget how awful their first day back is going to feel. But truly, taking 15-minutes on Friday to plan the morning of the first day back will pay dividends. Not only will that first day back be far less painful, but it will prevent the feelings of dread that inevitably creep in the night before the first day back. You're much less likely to dread the next morning when you've developed a crystal-clear plan for how that morning will proceed.

Like fried rice, lo mein is relatively high in processed carbohydrates and sodium and low in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, per the USDA. But in this quick homemade version, you can add as many veggies as you’d like, and scale back the sodium. Here, coleslaw mix makes for a quick and delicious veggie without any chopping at all! Plus the cabbage in the mix is a cruciferous veggie (like kale, broccoli, and cauliflower) which means that it’s packed with antioxidants in the form of polyphenols and may have anti-inflammatory effects in the body, according to past research.
