Kourtney Kardashian plans to confront ex Scott Disick over alleged DM to former beau Younes Bendjima: Source – Fox News

Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly "not shocked" that Scott Disick isn’t taking to the fact she’s happy with another man – despite the fact the former pair haven’t been together since 2015. On Monday, Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, model Younes Bendjima, 28, posted an alleged direct message he claimed was from Disick to his Instagram Stories in which the entrepreneur appeared to shade her public affection with Travis Barker. The message was sent alongside a photo of Kardashian – who is the mother of Disick’s three children – straddling Barker on a boat. "Yo is this chick ok!???? Broooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy," Disick allegedly wrote to Bendjima, who then turned around and shared the DM for the world to see. Bendjima allegedly wrote back, "Doesn’t matter to me as long as ...

Survey: Nurses willing to leave job if forced to get COVID-19 vaccine – WLWT Cincinnati

At a time when there are already staffing shortages at hospitals, some nurses are threatening to leave their jobs if they’re forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine.A survey by the Ohio Nurses Association of UC Medical Center union nurses showed 30 percent of those who took the survey are willing to leave their position over vaccine mandates.“I think we would have a staffing catastrophe on our hands at that time,” said ONA representative Dominic Mendiola. "It would make the nurses that remain jobs exceptionally difficult and it could compromise patient care long term.”Mendiola said there are between 1,500 and 1,700 union registered nurses at UC and 456 of them answered the survey. Of that number, 30 percent said they were willing to leave over the mandate.UC Health sent out a response to...

Kanye West cheated on Kim Kardashian after she welcomed her first two kids — and is the inspiration for his new song “Hurricane.” Multiple sources confirmed the meaning behind the telling lyrics in the track off “Donda,” his latest album that was released with plenty of fanfare and controversy.  “The song is in a way his testimony of everything he did wrong and taking accountability for their marriage breakdown,” one insider shared.  In the song the West raps, “Here I go actin’ too rich / Here I go with a new chick / And I know what the truth is / Still playin’ after two kids / It’s a lot to digest when your life always movin’. Our source confirmed the aforementioned “new chick” is not brief fling Irina Shayk, despite rumors swirling otherwise. ...

Brazilian viper venom shows promise as drug to combat COVID-19 | TheHill – The Hill

Brazilian scientists have discovered that a native viper’s venom can be used as a drug to help combat COVID-19, Reuters reported. In the scientific journal Molecules, scientists shared results from a study on monkey cells showing that a molecule from a Brazilian jararacussu pit viper can inhibit the virus’s ability to multiply by 75 percent.  A molecule in the venom can connect to the enzyme of the virus, PLPro, which is vital to the reproduction of the virus, according to Reuters.  "We were able to show this component of snake venom was able to inhibit a very important protein from the virus," University of São Paulo professor Rafael Guido told the news agency.  Scientists will now evaluate the efficiency of different doses of the molecule, seeking to determine if it can pre...
