Series

“The 8 Show” is the latest dark comedy thriller series from Korea to captivate global audiences via Netflix. Reminded of “The Squid Game,” it tells an eerie story about human survival.

In this show, eight unfortunate individuals find themselves trapped in a building where every moment they spend translates into increased income. They have to race against the clock with a ticking countdown to amass as much wealth as possible.

Of course, eight episodes are not enough for such a compelling storyline, and viewers who have already seen the production are already clamoring for a second season. Fortunately, the source material for the possible continuation already exists.

‘Funny Game’, the suspected source material for the second season of ‘The 8 Show’

As is often the case with successful Korean series, “The 8 Show” is based on two Naver webtoons titled “Money game” And “Cake game” Through Bae Jin-soo. Although each of these stories spans over 50 episodes, the show’s creators have managed to condense them into eight chapters.

Russian forces attacked 10 border areas and settlements of Sumy Oblast on May 18, firing 46 times and causing at least 284 explosions, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration said.

The communities of Mykolaivka, Khotin, Yunakivka, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Velyka Pysarivka, Novo Sloboda, Esman, Shalyhyne and Seredyna-Buda were targeted.

The Russian army bombarded the communities with artillery fire, AGS-17 grenade launchers, FPV drones and mortars, while also dropping mines.

In the village of Esman, one person was injured as a result of mortar shelling.

The town of Bilopillia suffered the most attacks, with 76 explosions in the area. Bilopillia, which had a population of about 15,600 before the war, is located just eight kilometers south of the border between Ukraine and Russia.

Russian attacks on the Sumy region have become increasingly destructive in recent months. Amid the intensified attacks, Ukrainian authorities ordered further evacuations from the region.

Zelensky: ‘Our partners fear that Russia will lose this war’

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that Ukraine’s partners are “afraid that Russia will lose the war” and would like Kiev to “win in such a way that Russia does not lose,” Zelensky said at a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent.

ATHENS, Ga. – Florida used a 12-run fourth inning and a season-high 19 runs to win the series over No. 9 Georgia with a wild 19-11 victory at Foley Field on Saturday afternoon.

With the win, the Gators close the regular season at 28-26 and 13-17 in Southeastern Conference play. They await their opponent on Tuesday in the opening round of the SEC Tournament with league play still underway.

The Orange & Blue trailed by three runs after three innings, but exploded for 12 runs in the top of the fourth inning and never looked back en route to a season-high 19 runs. The offense marked the program’s highest-scoring inning since 2002 and the largest of the Kevin O’Sullivan era.

Jac Caglianon (1-for-5) and Cade Kurland (2-for-4) hit home runs in the frame while Lucas Heyman drove in four runs, highlighted by a bases-clearing double. Kurland would later hit a second home run in the ninth for his second career multi-homer game. Two Gators had multiple hits in the record fourth in Aston Wilson (single, two-run double) and Tyler Shelnoot (double, two-run double), who went 2-for-5 and 3-for-5, respectively. In total, Florida as a team hit the entire cycle, while combining for seven extra base hits.

The Bulldogs (39-14, 17-13 SEC) struck first in game three, driving one run off the Gators in the bottom of the first on an RBI groundout to second base by Tre Phelps. Georgia caused traffic again in the second, with Charlie Condon cashing in a two-out, two-run single through the left side to make it 3-0.

UF right-handed Fisherman Jameson inherited a jam with one out and two runners in the third. After recording a strikeout and a walk, Jameson left the bases loaded by causing an error at first base by Kolby Branch.

Florida stormed back into the ball game in the top of the fourth inning, putting up twelve runs to take a commanding 12-3 lead. Caglianone started the game with a two-run homer to right, while Heyman followed with an RBI groundout to the shortstop and Kurland threw a solo shot to right. Michael Robertson then singled home, Shelnut and Wilson got his second hit of the inning with a two-run double to left-center. Heyman and Shelnut put an exclamation point on the outburst with a pair of two-run doubles.

Jameson retired the side in order to keep the momentum going in the bottom of the fourth, picking up his third strikeout. The right-hander dropped two Bulldogs in the fifth and went one-two-three in the sixth to take Florida’s nine-point lead through six frames.

In the top of the seventh, the Gators offense went back to work with a pair of runs to increase the lead to 14-3. Shelnut got his third hit of the day with a leadoff single to left, then advanced to second base on a walk Brody Donay. After Dale Thomas advanced the runners with an educational bunt down the third base line, Robertson drove in two runs with a single up the middle.

Florida ran into trouble in the bottom of the seventh inning, as the Bulldogs circumvented the 10-run rule by scoring three runs and cutting the UF lead to 14-6. Clayton Chadwick doubled to left-center to bring home Dylan Goldstein, while Slate Alford scored on a fielding error at second base off Sebastian Murrilo’s bat. Kolby Branch produced the third run with an RBI single to right field.

The Gators got two runs back in the eighth and regained a double-digit lead at 16-6. Shelnut went home with the bases loaded, forcing Shelton home, while Donay Heyman drove home on an RBI groundout to third base.

Florida’s second bid to put Georgia away early fell short, as Condon led off the bottom of the eighth with a solo home run to center field. Two batters later, Alford hit a solo homer to right and Dillon Carter later singled for Chadwick. From there, Fernando Gonzalez doubled to center to pair for a 16-11 game. With two outs and a man on second base, Cade Visser took over on the mound and induced a Corey Collins groundout to second base to end the five-run frame.

Florida needed some certainty after Georgia’s big inning and got just that from Kurland in the top of the ninth. With two outs and two on, Kurland launched his second homer of the game – another opposite-field shot to right to extend the Gators’ lead to 19-11.

Fisher slammed the door, eliminating Condon on a fly ball to right field and forcing a 5-4-3 double play to cement the series victory for Florida.

Jameson improved to 4-0 after throwing 3 2/3 frames with three runs allowed (two earned) on five hits and one walk. He fanned five Bulldogs.

UGA starter Zach Harris (5-1) was saddled with his first loss of the campaign after giving up four earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. The righthander was charged with four hits allowed and struckout two.

Caglianone received a no-decision in his final regular season start. The southpaw pitched 2 1/3 frames with three earned runs allowed on three hits and four walks. He fanned two batters.

New Zealand runner Maia Ramsden has broken the national record in the women’s 1500 meters and swept to Olympic qualification in a high-profile race in Los Angeles.

Ramsden clocked 4 minutes, 2.58 seconds to place 11th in a quality field at the USATF Grand Prix competition, featuring some of the world’s best middle-distance runners.

It beat more than 2 seconds off the former New Zealand record of 4:04.82, which Nikki Hamblin set in Spain 13 years ago.

But painfully for US-based Ramsden, her time was eight-hundredths of a second outside the Olympic qualifying standard of 4:02.50.

Ramsden, an NCAA decorated performer who will be running for Harvard University, has indicated she wants to qualify for this year’s Games in Paris and has taken a giant step forward.

She smashed her own personal best of 4:06.51, set at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow two months ago.

The 22-year-old was almost 5 seconds off her previous best outdoor time, achieved at the Millrose Games in New York in February.

Ramsden was carried away by a fast pace in Los Angeles, with the race won by Ethiopian Diribe Welteji in 3:55.25.

She spent much of the race at the tail of the group of 17 women, but gradually made up ground.

Meanwhile, veteran shot putter Tom Walsh, who has already qualified for the Olympics, was well below his best at the same competition.

His best distance of 21.02 meters was only good enough for seventh place, almost 2 meters behind American winner and old rival Joe Kovacs, who threw 22.93 meters.

N.B.A

By means of Peter Botte

Oh boy, or a much saltier sentiment, the Knicks could definitely use OG Anunoby right now.

With Josh Hart joining the growing list of injured regulars, Anunoby will look to play in Game 7 against the Pacers on Sunday after missing the past four games with a hamstring injury suffered in Game 2 against the Pacers.

Both Anuboby and Hart (abdominal strain) were listed as questionable in the official injury report the Knicks filed with the NBA on Saturday.

ESPN had reported Saturday that Anunoby had already been ruled out for Game 7, but a source said the two-way wing will go through a closed walk-through before the 3:30 p.m. tip-off before determining whether he will play.

The Knicks have a huge winning percentage of .839 (26-5, playoffs included) this season with Anunoby in the lineup, which would extrapolate to 68.8 wins over an 82-game streak if this were maintained.

The 26-year-old Anunoby was easily the boldest acquisition during Leon Rose’s tenure as team president, but the 2023 All-Defensive team selection has been unable to shake his previous reputation of often being unavailable since the late December trade. sent former first-round picks RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to the Raptors.

Anunoby has been on the list for more than 10 days since suffering his last injury, and that was after also missing 32 games in two stints due to an elbow problem that required surgery in February.

Anunoby averaged approximately 59 appearances during his previous five seasons with Toronto; he was also unavailable for the Raptors’ 2019 postseason championship run due to an appendectomy.

He was clearly immediately hampered by this hamstring issue after a drive to the basket in Game 2.

The Knicks face their most important home game in nearly three decades, their first Game 7 at MSG since Patrick Ewing’s loss to Indiana in 1995.

Anunoby has not spoken to the media since he was injured.

Thibodeau has released only minor updates, including a resumption of “light workouts” before Game 5 earlier this week in New York.

After Friday’s game, Thibodeau said tight-lipped that Anunoby’s status was “whatever the medical says,” but when asked what the “medical” told him, he only responded with “he’s day to day .”

Even if he doesn’t play on Sunday, if the Knicks win, it’s still a possibility Anunoby could be back in Boston on Tuesday to open the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics.

Either way, the organization must decide this summer whether to sign Anunoby to a long-term contract, who could become an unrestricted free agent if he declines a $19.9 million option for 2024-25 before the June 24 deadline.

Assuming he opts out, the Knicks can offer him the most money while he uses his Bird Rights to go over the salary cap.

Last summer, Anunoby notably cut ties with Klutch Sports to join CAA – Rose’s former agency – and one of its listed representatives is Sam Rose, Leon’s son.
