Single Drunk Female Recap: A Hot Mess — Plus, Grade the Premiere – TVLine

RELATED STORIES Staying sober while surrounded by others who drink is no easy feat, and Single Drunk Female’s central character learned that firsthand in Thursday’s double-episode premiere. The Freeform comedy follows Sam Fink (played by Sofia Black-D’Elia), a twentysomething alcoholic whose embarrassingly public breakdown within the series’ first few minutes marked a new low. She was fired from her job for showing up drunk, was sentenced to rehab and community service after accidentally hitting her former boss in the eye with a phone, and moved back in with her overbearing mother Carol (Ally Sheedy). After a 30-day stint in rehab, Sam began her sobriety journey with a few setbacks. She was unreceptive to the court-mandated AA meetings and brushed off Olivia’s (Rebecca Hender...

Its a slap in the face: Adele fans flying into Vegas angry at cancelation 24 HOURS before show – Daily Mail

A tearful Adele has axed her entire 24-date Caesars Palace residency at the 11th hour claiming half her team has Covid and they 'ran out of time' for the show to be ready. Fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket - or up to $30,000 on the black market - had already travelled to Las Vegas from all over the world including the UK for the opening gig tonight. But with just 24 hours to go the British star, 33, cancelled her entire 24-night run, which was due to make her $685,000 (£500,000) per performance before merchandising - a Vegas record. The singer caused a row when she was forced to cancel her final tour dates at Wembley Stadium in London at the last minute after damaging her vocal cords. It then took more than four years to reaarange them. 'Weekends With Adele' was due to run ...

Deltacron: the story of the variant that wasnt – Nature.com

Researchers say that the 'Deltacron' sequences may be the result of lab errors.Credit: T. Narayan/Bloomberg/Getty On 7 January, virologist Leondios Kostrikis announced on local television that his research group at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia had identified several SARS-CoV-2 genomes that featured elements of both the Delta and Omicron variants. Named by them as ‘Deltacron,’ Kostrikis and his team uploaded 25 of the sequences to the popular public repository GISAID that evening, and another 27 a few days later. On 8 January, financial news outlet Bloomberg picked up the story, and Deltacron became international news. The response from the scientific community was swift. Many specialists declared both on social media and to the press that th...

‘The Princess’ Review: An Addictive Documentary About Princess Diana – Variety

“The Princess” is a perfectly timed, compulsively watchable once-over-lightly documentary. It’s a chronicle of Princess Diana culled entirely from television news footage and other public records. In other words, this isn’t an intimate portrait of the Princess of Wales that ”takes us closer to the subject” through an archival jamboree of home movies, eyebrow-raising long-view commentary, and investigative coups. The Diana we see in “The Princess” is the one we’ve always seen, the one we’ve been watching for 40 years, 25 of them since her death in 1997. Since we’ve never stopped watching her, “The Princess,” coming on the heels of “Spencer,” Season 4 of “The Crown,” and the short-lived musical “Diana,” may sound like one Diana document too many. Yet after all those dramatic treatme...

Pets: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes increasing threat of heartworm disease in dogs in Orange County – KABC-TV

GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- The chances of dogs catching heartworm disease in Orange County are going up thanks to the Aedes aegypti mosquito, officials say. The pesky Aedes aegypti, more commonly known as the ankle biter, is behind more than the persistently itchy welts on our legs. Heather Hyland with the OC Mosquito and Vector Control District said Thursday that results from testing at the end of 2021, show that this species of mosquito carries heartworm, which can be fatal to our furry friends. "Out of 260 samples, we found that four tested positive for dog heartworm detection. That's telling us that there is dog heartworm in the community, but it's also telling us, based on that data, that it's low-risk right now," Hyland said. According to a 2019 map from the American Heartworm ...
