Chrissy Teigen is one hot mama! On Thursday, Aug. 13, the star stepped out to run some errands in a chic black blazer, top and bike shorts, which she paired with strappy sandals.

Coronavirus vaccine trials set to begin in Portland metro area next week – OregonLive

Kaiser Permanente is recruiting at least 100 Oregonians to participate in one of the state’s first vaccine trials for the coronavirus. Trials could begin as soon as next week for volunteers, who must receive health care through the Kaiser network to participate. Britta Torgrimson-Ojerio, a nurse researcher at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, said volunteers are eager to enroll. “We have already had an incredible response from our Kaiser membership,” she said, “which I think is a tribute to how much people believe in helping to find a vaccine that will help our community to get out of the social and economic turmoil we’re in in this pandemic.” The center is one of three Kaiser sites around the country engaged in trials for the vaccine, which was developed by Pfizer a...

Project Power Review – Hollywood Reporter

Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback get caught up in deadly pharmaceutical chaos in this high-octane, New Orleans-set sci-fi action thriller from Netflix. When Netflix began promoting its latest entry in the summer-that-never-was blockbuster stakes, Project Power, it was hard to suppress an eye-roll of weary puzzlement at the fanboys eager to slam it as lame and derivative. Sure, it has conceptual similarities to the Bradley Cooper vehicle Limitless, to DC Comics property Hourman, to Image Comics' War Heroes. Let's even throw in a touch of X-Men, The Matrix, Firestarter and Jacob's Ladder. But seriously, so what? Is it even possible for a superpower movie to be truly original anymore? In fact, what makes Project Power entertaining is its canny combination of f...

Dolly Parton makes rare political statement in support of Black Lives Matter – New York Post

National treasure Dolly Parton has made a rare political statement, coming out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Parton, 74, made the statement to Billboard in an expansive feature published Thursday. “I understand people having to make themselves known and felt and seen,” she said of the protests that erupted across the United States in response to the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. “And of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white asses are the only ones that matter? No!” The colorful quote comes after the revelation that Parton was ahead of the curve when it comes to country music re-brandings: In 2018, she renamed her Dixie Stampede dinner attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, “Dolly Parton’s Stampede.” “When they said ‘...

The scientists said knowing the order of COVID-19’s symptoms could help those who have contracted the virus know when to seek care and might aid in their decision to self isolate sooner — preventing further spread. The study, published in the journal Frontie...

U.S. Coronavirus Update: CDC Director Warns 2020 Could Be “The Worst Fall, From A Public Health Perspective, We’ve Ever Had” As U.S. Deaths Surge – Deadline

“This is the greatest public health crisis in a century,” said Centers for Disease Control Director Robert Redfield bluntly on Thursday. In fact, Redfield sees the coming flu season in Dickensian terms. “It’s dependent on how the American people choose to respond. It’s really the worst of times or the best of times, depending on the American public,” he said, paraphrasing the opening of Charles Dickens’s classic A Tale of Two Cities. The current pandemic, paired with the oncoming flu season, could create the “worst fall, from a public health perspective, we’ve ever had,” said the CDC director in an interview with WebMD. On which side of the scale will the U.S. fall? Redfield said that depends on how consistently Americans wear face masks, stay 6 feet away from each oth...
