Britney Spears Called 911 To Report Conservatorship Abuse Night Before Court Testimony – Report – Deadline

Britney Spears called 911 to report conservatorship abuse one night prior to presenting her testimony in court, according to a New Yorker exposé published on Saturday by Ronan Farrow and Jia Tolentino. “Members of Spears’s team began texting one another frantically,” Farrow and Tolentino wrote, in describing the events that followed. “They were worried about what Spears might say the next day, and they discussed how to prepare in the event that she went rogue.” A source close to the Ventura County, CA-based pop star confirmed word of her 911 call to the investigative journalists. Law enforcement officials in the County also verified that it happened. But while emergency calls are typically made accessible to the public, the County has sealed that of Spears, citing an ongoing in...

Worlds Safest Place? Vermont Leads US Vaccine Race – NDTV

(Representational) Burlington, United States: Vermont -- known for Bernie Sanders, maple syrup and the birthplace of Ben and Jerry's ice cream -- has a new claim to fame: America's most-vaccinated state against Covid-19. Home to red farmhouses and signs warning drivers of moose, the US's second-least populated state recently became the first to partially vaccinate 80 percent of eligible residents.

Star Wars anime Visions trailer, studios, release date announced at Anime Expo – Polygon

George Lucas loved Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa. And while Lucas would go on to directly aid in the master’s career, producing the prismatic 1990 film, Dreams, his tributes started much earlier. Really, there’d be no Star Wars without Kurosawa’s 1958 drama The Hidden Fortress. So it’s fitting that the Star Wars franchise will gift a wave of Japanese creators the chance to traverse in the galaxy far, far away on their own in terms in the upcoming anthology series, Visions. Lucasfilm gave fans a first look at the series, slated for this fall, at the 2021 Anime Expo on Saturday. Studios involved include Kamikaze Douga, Geno Studio (Twin Engine), Studio Colorido (Twin Engine), Trigger, Kinema Citrus, Science Saru, and Production IG. “Each one of these studios that we approached, we ...

Dr. Barbara Murphy, Kidney Transplant Expert, Dies at 56 – The New York Times

Dr. Barbara Murphy, a leading nephrologist who specialized in advanced research that focused on predicting and diagnosing the outcomes of kidney transplants, died on Wednesday at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, where she had worked since 1997. She was 56. The cause was glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, her husband, Peter Fogarty, said. Dr. Murphy blended a passion for research into kidney transplant immunology with her role, since 2012, as the chairwoman of the department of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (and its broader health system). She was the first woman named to run a department of medicine at an academic medical center in New York City. “In baseball, they talk about five-tool players,” Dr. Dennis S.
