How will the writers’ strike affect your favorite series?

On Tuesday, May 2nd, the first Hollywood writers’ strike in 15 years began. American audiovisual writers are being asked to stop as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the major studios. The union was seeking an annual salary increase of $429 million, and the studios only offered a raise of about $86 million, aimed primarily at improving conditions for first-time screenplay writers.

Television is the medium that might notice this unemployment most, especially if it is prolonged. The late-night shows (Jimmy Fallon, Steven Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel), which are already broadcasting repeats, are affected first. There will also be no Saturday Night Live or Last Week Tonight with John Oliver or Real Time with Bill Maher (these three shows can be seen in Spain). Others that will be directly affected will be the events the major networks had planned to showcase their new programming – some have already been canceled – the Emmys campaigns and even, if it lasts until September, we might stay without the gala of the Emmy, scheduled for September 17th.

More information

As for the fictional series, we’ll have to wait for it to be renewed for it to really get noticed. Abbott College, for example, wanted to start writing its third season, but they closed the writers’ room, which could result in fewer episodes next year. Cobra Kai had its sixth season in the writing stages and they have already announced that production will be delayed indefinitely. The Yellowjackets’ writers’ room had only been open a day when it was closed due to the strike. Although the second season of Good Omens could premiere this summer, writer and screenwriter Neil Gaiman has warned that if they continue the strike, they won’t count on his promotion.

In other cases, production is not in jeopardy, as with the second season of La casa del dragón, which has already been written and is continuing its plans. In fact, filming is expected to return to the streets of Cáceres and Trujillo later this month. The shooting of the second part of Andor continues unchanged. The new chapters of Tokyo Vice, now being fully recorded in Japan, are still in production as the scripts were already finished. Filming for the second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has just over two weeks ahead of it and will take place without any writers being present on set, something they had already planned. The fourth season of The Mandalorian was already written.

Another of the most-watched series, Stranger Things, began writing its fifth season last August, though Netflix hasn’t confirmed if it finished on time. Of course, they have warned from the union that anything recorded while the writers are on strike must scrupulously respect the script already written, without being able to change a single word. Other fiction platforms or pay-TV, as in the case of the comedy Hacks, stopped their production because they could not count on screenwriters on the set.

Free-to-air TV series that air in Spain near the United States, such as Grey’s Anatomy or Ghosts, do not see their immediate broadcast in jeopardy and will finish their current season without any problems since they have already been written and filmed . However, should the strike be prolonged, this could result in an enforced delay in the start of the 2023-2024 season, as it is usual for the scriptwriting rooms of these productions to start working towards the end of May. If this is not the case, the return of the series will have to be postponed and could even result in the production of fewer chapters. However, some of these series had already been renewed and new episodes were already underway. Those that will be directly affected are the daily fictions. Although they are working on a margin, if the strike lasts longer than a month they might feel its consequences.

The specialized website The Hollywood Reporter explains why it will be harder for the viewer to notice the consequences of this strike than it was 15 years ago. On the one hand there are today the digital platforms with their thousands of hours of permanent content and international productions. Also, the strike will take place when the television season is already over, so it will take a long time to be noticed (the 2007-2008 strike started in November, so in the middle of the season). With long nights in the doldrums as the format and audience, his absence won’t do too much harm to the chains either. Studios have prepared for this strike by renewing in advance and stocking up on reality shows. For example, Dancing With the Stars, which aired exclusively on Disney+, will also air on ABC next season. According to THR, the studios could be prepared for a three- or four-month strike. That the screenwriters persevere is likely to be more complicated. In their favor, the directors and the actors could also go on strike because their contracts expire in June.

Trevor Bauer is still talked about for all the wrong reasons

Sports News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

Pitcher Trevor Bauer, considered undesirable in major league baseball, is now playing in Japan.

An action by the 32-year-old athlete after a strikeout was deemed disrespectful by one of his Yokohama Baystars teammates.

In performing this feat, Bauer mimicked the action of sheathing a sword as he did in the big leagues.

Recently, the Baystars released a video of the shooter encouraging fans to do the same when passing a rival with the gauntlet, which assistant Yasuaki Yamasaki really didn’t like.

“Don’t be fools. It’s disrespectful. There are better ways to celebrate,” he wrote in a comment below his team’s post.

Last March, Bauer signed a one-year contract with the Japanese team after being ignored by all major league baseball teams.

The California native was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this year after allegations of sexual assault.

However, Bauer’s last major league game was on June 28, 2021. Three days later, he was suspended from Major League Baseball for 326 games after a woman accused him of rape.

The sentence was later reduced to 194 games and the Los Angeles County Attorney’s Office decided not to pursue the allegations against the athlete. However, two other Ohio women in turn blamed Bauer for his abusive behavior.

In Japan, the 2020 Cy-Young Trophy winner has yet to make his debut with the Baystars. He did play two games in the minors, however, where he averaged a 2.25 ERA in 16 innings.

Zambrano insists that Benedetto tearfully apologized for the hit quotIts

Alianza Lima centre-back Carlos Zambrano gave more details about the fight he had with Darío Benedetto while he was playing for Boca Juniors in 2022.

Carlo Zambrano had a successful run of three years over Boca juniors. The “Kaiser” won five titles with the Argentine team and one of the most remembered episodes in Xeneize was the fight he starred in at halftime in the 2022 game against Racing with Darío Benedetto. As we recall, at the beginning of the second half, both players appeared on the field with signs that they had hit each other. The current central Alianza Lima provided more details on this event and in a recent interview He assured that the striker hit him in the tunnel on the way to the dressing room and when he tried to react, his team-mates grabbed him. The defender indicated that he wanted to answer in the dressing room but was unable to do anything in the end. He also said Benedetto apologized in tears.

“I enter the dressing room and all the Bolondrón were armed. There were the leaders, the coach. I watched it the whole time, but being aware I couldn’t cause trouble there anymore. They would get me again. I was seething inside, I went to the mirror and my cheekbone was red. I said: ‘It won’t stay that way, it will increase’. I flew and said, ‘I’ll wait for the moment.’ I’m going to urinate and he comes up to me almost in tears and says, ‘Sorry, I was wrong, it’s up to men to ask for forgiveness,'” León told the streaming show La fe de cuto”.

Atlanta Police Department Releases Part of 911 Call From Fatal Hospital Shooting: “Guns in the hall!”

Latest News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

The chaos of the deadly shooting at an Atlanta hospital is evident in a portion of the 911 call from inside released by police on Friday.

Deion Patterson, 24, who served in the Coast Guard for five years, was attending an appointment at Northside Medical Midtown to get anxiety medication with his mother on Wednesday morning when he got “enraged” in the lobby and opened fire.

The woman killed was identified as 39-year-old Amy St. Pierre, an employee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with four other women, ages 71, 56, 39 and 26, all of whom were injured.

In the 88 seconds of the 911 call placed by the Atlanta Police Department, you can hear a hospital worker exclaim, “There’s gunfire in the hall!”

“We heard several gunshots,” the caller said. ‘They took cover. We have a few staff and patients in the building.”

The chaos of the deadly shooting at an Atlanta hospital is clear in part of the 911 call from Northside Medical Midtown released by local police on Friday

The caller also asks a doctor if she saw anyone in a nearby elevator after the shooting, which happened just after noon.

The doctor is then asked if they could describe a person, but the doctor replies that he “did for cover.”

St. Pierre, a public health adviser, died after 24-year-old Deion Patterson allegedly opened fire Wednesday at Northside Hospital Medical Midtown, where his mother took him to an appointment.

The CDC confirmed St. Pierre’s death in a statement that read, “The CDC is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of a colleague who was killed in the Midtown Atlanta shooting today. Our hearts go out to her family, friends and colleagues who remember her and mourn this tragic loss.”

Patterson, whose mug shot has now been released, is said to have shot and killed four other women, aged 25, 39, 56 and 71.

Patterson, 24, (mug photo pictured) was arrested Wednesday night after an hours-long citywide manhunt.

Hospital officials confirmed three of the injured underwent surgery – one was shot in the arm, one in the face and a third in the abdomen.

Three of the victims were in critical condition at nearby Grady Memorial Hospital.

Patterson fled the scene on foot and became the subject of an hour-long citywide manhunt.

He was arrested around 8 p.m. “without incident” at a gated community in suburban Cobb County.

Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens expressed relief that Patterson was taken into custody alive to face criminal charges.

“Right now we have successfully ended a traumatic day,” Dickens said Wednesday night.

“I hope the city, the region, feels reassured that he is in custody, but I also hope that we remain vigilant and continue to look to a future where those who shouldn’t have a gun won’t.” and also that individuals are brought to justice and also that we deal with these things that are mental health or easier access to guns,” he added.

Atlanta Police Deputy Charles Hampton Jr. did not provide details of the investigation or a possible motivation for the shooting.

“Why he did what he did is still under investigation,” he said.

The suspect’s mother, Minyone Patterson, is a nurse and accompanied her son to his doctor’s appointment on Wednesday.

She told the Associated Press that her son, a former Coast Guard, had “a certain mental instability” as a result of medication he received from the Veterans Health Service, which he began taking on Friday.

Minyone said he wanted an Ativan prescription to treat anxiety and depression, but that the VA wouldn’t give it to him, citing its addictive quality.

She claimed her son took the correct dosage of the drug because “he listened to me in every way.”

Crying, she continued: “These families, these families. They hurt because they didn’t want to give my son his damn Ativan. These families lost their loved ones because he had a nervous breakdown because they didn’t want to listen to me.

The Coast Guard has confirmed that Patterson was enlisted with them in 2018 before being retired from active duty in January 2023. It is unclear why he was fired.

“Our deepest sympathy goes to the victims and their families. The Coast Guard Investigative Service is working closely with the Atlanta Police Department and local authorities on the investigation,” the statement said.

“Mr Patterson joined the Coast Guard in July 2018 and most recently served as a second-class Electrician Mate.”

Patterson has had several collisions with the law, including in 2017 when he was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and a number of other traffic violations.

He was arrested for marijuana possession in 2015 and subpoenaed again in 2020 for multiple traffic violations.

More than 13,000 people in western Canada have been evacuated as wildfires ravage the region in hot weather and high winds – CNN

Latest News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

(CNN) More than 13,000 people living in Canada’s Alberta province have been evacuated as wildfires rage in the region, which is experiencing unusually hot weather and strong winds, emergency officials said.

At least 78 wildfires are burning across the western province, 19 of which are spiraling out of control, Stephen Lacroix, director of the region’s emergency management agency, told reporters during a news conference on Friday.

“This is a stark reminder of how unpredictable and powerful wildfire can be,” said Lacroix.

Some residents of the Fox Lake community, where the fires are severe, had to be evacuated by helicopter, according to Alberta Wildfire Information Unit director Christie Tucker. On Friday morning, dozens of firefighters in Fox Lake were battling the blazes that burned nearly 11,000 acres, officials said.

According to Tucker, firefighters, helicopters and air tankers fought a runaway fire in the Drayton Valley that burned over 3,700 acres.

Authorities in the Yellowhead County community and the city of Edson have also ordered an immediate evacuation due to wildfires in Alberta, Edson officials tweeted. The city of Edson has a population of just under 9,000, according to the municipality’s website.

“Temperatures have been 10 to 15 degrees above normal for a while,” Tucker said. “We still don’t have green grass and foliage across the province, which means the ground is very dry.”

The northern province has experienced extremely warm conditions and high winds, Tucker said, and residents are not allowed to have open log fires on public or private property while the fires are burning.

Since January, Alberta has had 348 wildfires that have burned more than 61,776 acres, Tucker said.

“This is significantly more wildfire activity at this time of year than we have certainly seen in recent memory,” Tucker noted.

US Department of Justice investigates Binance for Russia-related sanctions violations: Bloomberg – CoinDesk

Business News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

According to a Bloomberg report citing five people familiar with the matter, the US Department of Justice’s National Security Division is conducting an investigation into whether Binance has allowed Russian customers access to the exchange in violation of US sanctions related to the Russian invasion of the granted to Ukraine.

The Justice Department investigation is another high-profile move against Binance following a joint investigation with the Internal Revenue Service in 2021 into the global exchange. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also been investigating Binance since at least early 2022 over its relationship with two firms owned by its founder Changpeng Zhao.

Binance and Justice Department spokespersons did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Justice Department declined a Bloomberg request for comment.

A statement from Binance to Bloomberg said the company is fully compliant with all U.S. and international financial sanctions.

In late March 2023, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) sued Binance, alleging that the company knowingly offered unregistered crypto derivative products in the US in violation of federal laws.

The exchange has repeatedly denied allegations by saying it has built the world’s largest compliance team in this space — a 700-strong team that “handles 1,300 law enforcement requests a week,” according to compliance chief Tigran Gambaryan.

Over the past few days, Binance has claimed to have figured out how to keep North Koreans off its crypto exchange by “kicking their ass so far that they can actually see Binance isn’t the place for them.”

In addition, Israel reportedly announced in early May 2023 that it had seized about 190 Binance accounts with suspected ties to terrorist groups, including two accounts with ISIS. Since neither Israel nor Binance have specifically said that Binance cooperated, it is not clear how Israel seized accounts on Binance without Binance’s cooperation, as Binance is not required to comply with Israeli laws.

2023 Kentucky Derby horses, futures, odds, date: Expert who nailed 10 Derby-Oaks doubles says tips – CBS Sports

Sports News / By Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

The 20-horse field for Saturday’s 2023 Kentucky Derby is set, with clear favorites and huge long-range shots. Almost half of the 2023 Kentucky Derby field falls into the latter category, with nine horses having 2023 Kentucky Derby odds of 30-1 or greater. A long shot still means you have a shot, as last year’s winner Rich Strike can attest. He also had odds of 30-1 in the morning before hitting 80-1 on derby day. Churchill Downs will host the 2023 Kentucky Derby and only three horses are in single digit odds.

Forte is the 2023 Kentucky Derby 3-1, followed by Tapit Trice (5-1) and Angel of Empire (8-1). Postal time for the 2023 Kentucky Derby is 6:57 p.m. ET and the 2023 Kentucky Derby weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70’s. Before making your 2023 Kentucky Derby selection, be sure to check out the Horse Racing Predictions and Future Betting from SportsLine Elite Horse Racing Expert Jody Demling.

Demling is a fixture in the horse racing world who has been writing, speaking and betting on racing for years. Demling is entering the 2023 Kentucky Derby after pinning the Belmont Stakes winner four of the past five years, including an exacta in 2022 with Mo Donegal and Nest. He also secured Flightline’s win at the Breeders’ Cup Classic last November.

Demling is at his best at the world’s biggest horse races like the 2023 Kentucky Derby. In fact, he’s hit 10 of the last 14 Derby Oaks doubles at Churchill Downs. That means he’s had a ticket with the winners of both races on all but four occasions in the past 14 years. He’s also named nine of the last 18 Preakness winners and understood exactly when the Kentucky Derby winner was primed for victory or a massive upset, nailing the 2022 Preakness trifecta. Everyone who has followed him is huge.

Now that the 2023 Kentucky Derby futures are already on the board, Demling is sharing his tips and predictions at SportsLine. Go here to see them.

Top Predictions for the Kentucky Derby 2023

One of Demling’s surprising favorites for the 2023 Kentucky Derby, he outshines Tapit Trice despite being one of the top picks by odds for the 2023 Kentucky Derby and having won four straight races. Tapit Trice has won four of his last five starts, including the Blue Grass Stakes in his last outing. However, it has been 32 years since a horse has won the blue grass and subsequently won the Kentucky Derby.

In this Blue Grass Stakes win, Tapit Trice came to the outside of the 11-horse field and won by a narrow margin. That’s the Formula jockey Luis Saez will try to keep busy on Saturday, but this time his horse will pull off the No 5 post and have a lot more traffic to get through to reach the outside. The 2023 Kentucky Derby post-draw didn’t do Tapit Trice and his running style any favors, and given his low odds, Demling says he’s one to avoid when betting on the 2023 Kentucky Derby. See which other 2023 Kentucky Derby horses to avoid at SportsLine.

Another stunner: Demling is high on Derma Sotogake despite being a longshot at 10-1. It is a destination for anyone looking for a big payday. The Japan-based driver caused a stir with his winning time in the UAE Derby, as it was the second fastest time in the 14 years the race has been run at his current distance.

With jockey Christophe Lemaire also riding a Japanese starter in last year’s Kentucky Derby, Derma Sotogake might have enough experience around to surprise on Saturday. See what other horses you can bet on at SportsLine.

How to Make 2023 Kentucky Derby Picks, Betting

Demling is particularly high on a big longshot who “has shown excellent practice at Churchill Downs and will be there with a shot at the end”. Anyone who bets on this horse could make it big. Demling shares with SportsLine which horse it is, along with his overall projected ranking.
