Ina Fried, author of Login

Once again, the creators of Pokémon Go are launching a holiday-themed event in an effort to both reward die-hard fans and hopefully lure back some of those who haven't played in a while.

Announced Thursday morning, the event offers an increased chance to hatch rare creatures, discounts on "lucky eggs" and other perks.

What's going on: Jane Fraser took over at Citigroup this week, the first woman to ever lead a major U.S. bank. Rosalind Brewer will take the reins at Walgreens in the coming weeks (March 15) — a company that's been run by white men for more than a century.
