Preservationists lose sleep when great modern houses go on the market. Many Neutra houses, for example, have been radically altered or even bulldozed after they were sold. Such midcentury dwellings often don’t fit contemporary family life; the Esherick House has only one bedroom and the kitchen, with its sculptural copper details, is “challenging,” says Wright. But that may not matter to the potential buyers who are targeted by these auctions: they treat these houses as works of art....

This has largely translated as nearly constant passive bonuses, along with a series of creative events that bring the Pokemon GO fun to players at home, rather than inviting them out and about. For example, Team GO Rocket opponents now float across the in-game sky in hot air balloons, allowing players to find and challenge Grunts, Leaders, and even Giovanni, from the comfort of their own homes.

“I’m just all about winning.” “I do whatever you ask me to do to put my team in the best position to win.” “I’m gonna take what the game gives me, whatever my teammates ask me to do.” “It’s easy whenever you have the guys that I have around me.” Professional athletes have been trained, over and over, often in college before their pro careers, on how to say the right things to the media....

BioWare’s other flagship series, Mass Effect, has also had a number of novels released under its name.

Not since 1983, in the first test meeting between the two nations in Brisbane, had Argentina beaten the Wallabies in Australia. But former Wallabies scrum coach Ledesma helped mastermind the drought-breaking result against his former head coach Michael Cheika. A long-range penalty from Emiliano Boffelli with three minutes to go sealed the victory. Israel Folau missed a chance to win it for the Wallabies after the siren. Folau had an unmarked Bernard Foley to his right but chose not to pass the ball to him and instead gave up possession as he tried to score himself....

Maricopa is the country’s fourth most populous county, with nearly 4.5 million residents, according to the 2020 U.S. census.

Hohokam County would include the eastern parts of what is currently Maricopa county, Mogollon County would take the north and O’Odham County would take the west, according to the proposal....
