Q:

I saw that Natasha Lyonne has a new show on Peacock.

Does this mean “Russian Doll” has been canceled? — Y.B. With so many networks and streaming platforms available now, actors aren’t limited to just one show anymore. Look at Adam Scott, for example. He had major roles on three shows in the past year (“Severance,” “Loot” and the upcoming third season of “Party Down”).

Lyonne has been just as busy since she had a career resurgence playing an inmate on Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black.” She followed that up with the Emmy-nominated “Russian Doll,” and while a third season is still in limbo, Lyonne has gone on to film another series, “Poker Face.” Hopefully she can juggle both shows if Netflix comes calling again. *** My 90-year-old mother’s favorite drama is “Chicago Med.” She especially loves the handsome actor who plays Dr. Marcel.

Can you tell us what else he’s been in? — A.K. Dominic Rains plays Dr. Crockett Marcel on the hit series “Chicago Med,” which airs on NBC on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET. (It’s part of what’s billed as the One Chicago lineup, followed by “Chicago Fire” at 9 p.m. and “Chicago P.D.” at 10 p.m.) He joined the ensemble cast as the trauma surgeon in its fifth season.

Rains, 40, was born in Tehran, Iran, but grew up in a Dallas suburb called The Colony. His first role on camera was in the TV movie “Saving Jessica Lynch.” He went on to play Dr. Leo Julian on the daytime soap “General Hospital” as well as its spin-off “General Hospital: Night Shift.” He’s had a slew of primetime guest-star appearances on shows like “NCIS” and “24” before landing a recurring role as a character named Kasius on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Rains was born Amin Nazemzadeh, but didn’t change his name until he got the role on “GH.” His brother, Ethan, got him into acting in the first place, and the two both had roles on the short-lived Heather Locklear series “LAX.”

Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale in the series “Poker Face” *** What happened to “Yellowstone”? I keep waiting for more new episodes, but the last one was in early January. Is it done for the season? — M.M. According to “TV Guide,” “Yellowstone” decided to split season five into two parts, with the remaining six episodes to come. Viewers have been on the edge of their seats during the first half, as a “civil war has broken out among the Duttons, with Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) at each other’s throats.” Kevin Costner’s character, John Dutton, is also at risk of being impeached as governor.

“Yellowstone” originally began as a summer series on the Paramount Network, and the latter half of season five will air sometime during the summer of 2023. No official air date has been announced yet, however. Joining the cast this past season is actress Dawn Olivieri, who played Claire Dutton in the “Yellowstone” prequel series “1883.” Her new character, Sarah Atwood, is a complete 180 from Claire.

Look for her to continue to stir things up in Montana.

A couple in Etobicoke, Toronto, left on an extended business trip in January 2022, CTV News reported. When they returned home months later, they were stunned to realize that their house had been sold and the new owners had moved in. Police said a man and woman impersonated the owners, hired a real estate agent and listed the property using fake identification. Police are still looking for the imposters.

Size Matters

Momo the lar gibbon, who lives at the Kujukushima Zoo and Botanical Garden Mori Kirara in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, delivered a baby in February 2021, which surprised zookeepers, since Momo lived in her own enclosure with no males around. She was very protective of the offspring, United Press International reported, so it wasn’t until two years later that handlers were able to collect DNA from the youngster to determine who the father was. As it turned out, a 34-year-old agile gibbon, Itou, was the baby daddy. Zookeepers found that a partition between Momo’s exhibit and Itou’s off-display area had a perforated board with holes about 9mm in diameter, and they believe the two were able to mate through one of those holes. The perforated board was replaced with a steel plate, but Momo and Itou will be introduced properly to each other so that they may live as a family.

On Jan. 16, Brazilian attorney Leandro Mathias de Novaes delivered his mother to the Laboratoria Cura in Sao Paolo, where she was scheduled for an MRI. Before they both entered the MRI room, the New York Post reported, they were asked to remove any metal objects from their persons and signed a form detailing the protocols, but Novaes opted to not remove, or disclose, his concealed weapon. When the MRI’s magnetic field yanked the pistol from his waistband, it fired and struck him in the stomach; he was hospitalized for three weeks after the incident but died on Feb. 6.

Mahomes Leads Chiefs to Double-Digit Comeback Win in Super Bowl 57

BY GREG BUCHANAN

The Kansas City Chiefs secured their third Super Bowl win in franchise history with a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas G FEATURES WEEKLY SERVICE, City was +1000 to win Super Bowl 57 all the way back to week one of a Drive, FLkick-off 32803time Patrick Mahomes and company were even the Orlando, playoffs. By money by the odds makers to win the game. The two teams combined R SERVICE: 800-708-7311 EXT. out 257to be the third-highest scoring Super for 73 points in what turned Bowl game ever.

ST #12345_20230213 But now the question is, how will people remember Super Bowl 57?

As far as I’m concerned, it was one of the most exciting and entertaining ASE Super FEB. 13, 2023 Bowl games ever. It’s unfortunate that the final 3 minutes of the game played out the way it did, but one thing is for sure, that three mindriguez utes will be discussed and rehashed for a long time. Was it a holding penalty or not? Either way, there are many who believe that it tarnished the end of the game.

Patrick Mahomes became the first player in NFL history to win multiple league MVP’s and multiple championships within his first six seasons in the league. With Tom Brady riding off into the sunset being called the “Greatest of All Time”, there are already some people making references to Mahomes as a candidate for GOAT. He is only 27 and has so much time to win more titles and more MVP’s but hold on a minute, I think this reference at this early point of his career is a little premature. Granted Patrick Mahomes joins Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Bobby Orr, Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan as the only players in NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL history to win multiple championship round MVP awards within their first six seasons.

There are many factors that determine the fate of an NFL quarterback. Health and supporting cast members are only a couple of things that come quickly to mind. One thing for sure, Mahomes is special, and I’m so glad that I was able to witness this amazing game.

Now we enter the off season with some major questions on player movement. The biggest question in the NFL right now is …. Will Aaron Rodgers stay a Green Bay Packer or does he find a team for one last run at a Super Bowl? Time and one huge contract will answer that question.

1. TELEVISION: What was the name of the saloon in the 1960s series “Gunsmoke”?

2. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: To date, how many people have walked on the moon?

3. GEOGRAPHY: What is the capital of the Canadian province Nova Scotia?

4. MOVIES: How many “Police Academy” movies have been produced?

5. U.S. STATES: Why is Indiana known as “The Hoosier State”?

6. FOOD & DRINK: What percentage of a cucumber is water?

7. HISTORY: Which company published its first mail-order catalog in 1872?

8. ANIMAL KINGDOM: What does the armadillo’s name mean in English?

9. LITERATURE: What is author Mark Twain’s real name?

10. CELEBRITIES: What is one of singer/actor Frank Sinatra’s famous nicknames, based on a physical attribute?

Answers 1. Long Branch Saloon.

2. 12.

3. Halifax.

4. Seven, including the original movie and six sequels.

5. The name became popular in the 1800s, likely from the poem “The Hoosier’s Nest.”

Conflict vs. bullying: what’s the difference?

Conflict and bullying aren’t the same things. One describes a healthy dialogue between two parties, while the other represents an intent to harm someone else. Learning to deal with conflict healthily can give you essential social skills. It can also help you better identify bullying.

WHAT’S CONFLICT? Conflict is a normal part of life and happens when two people respectfully disagree. The two parties have equal power in the relationship, and each has a chance to express their views.

Even though there may be negative emotions and hurtful words exchanged, both people are looking for a solution and don’t want to harm each other. Each person takes responsibility for their actions and modifies their behaviour if they feel they’ve made the other person feel bad.

Conflict can often lead to two people learning to solve problems and overcome challenges.

WHAT’S BULLYING? Unlike conflict, the goal of bullying is to hurt, harm, insult or humiliate another person and make them feel bad about themselves. The actions are unwanted and unwarranted, and the bullied person has little power to stop them. Bullying can result in physical and emotional harm.

Bullying happens when one person uses their power to control another. Power can mean the bully is bigger, stronger, older or more popular than the person they’re bullying. Moreover, bullies aren’t trying to resolve anything and show no remorse if they hurt someone else. There’s no interest in a relationship with the other person.

This Pink Shirt Day, February 22, stand up to bullying when you see it. Don’t be afraid to share your views and express your opinions constructively. Not all conflict is bad.
