The 25-year-old showed ex Myles Barnett exactly what he was missing out on as she turned up the heat, posing up a storm dressed only in her underwear.

The gorgeous star wore a matching baby pink lounge underwear set, with her bra barely able to contain her ample assets and showing off her toned stomach.

She cocked her hip to the side to emphasise her curves and wore her long tresses down and softly waved.

Kady accessorised with a pair of simple silver hoops and a full face of glam makeup including striking black eyeliner to make her blue eyes pop.

The blonde bombshell, 24, showed off her cleavage, washboard stomach and lean legs in a pale blue crop top and matching booty shorts.

Trim and terrific: Love Island Australia star Jessie Wynter, 24, showed off her cleavage and abs in skimpy activewear at the launch of Infinite Cycle in Sydney on Tuesday

Despite being put through a gruelling session by a former Soul Cycle instructor in the U.S., Jessie looked picture-perfect with a sleek ponytail and a radiant visage.

Following the early morning workout, Jessie headed to Jono Castano's Acero gym, where she filmed a booty workout for fans.

Looking good: The influencer drew attention to her washboard stomach and lean legs in the ensemble, which she teamed with white sneakers and matching pulled-up socks

Jessie explained that after 'months of feeling out of whack and inconsistently training', she was now back 'on the grind'.

'For me, one of the biggest barriers to getting back in to it was feeling self-conscious about the fact that I wasn't as fit or in shape as I'd been in the past,' she wrote.

Coronavirus Origins | In the Pipeline

I’m going to regret writing about this, but it’s not a topic to be ignored. Where did the current coronavirus come from?

If you ask that question, you get all sorts of answers from all sorts of people. Let me downgrade some of those right up front. To start at the far end of the fever scale, I do not think that this virus is some sort of deliberately engineered (and/or deliberately released) bioweapon, and I am simply not going to give that theory more time here today. But that still leaves a lot of possibilities open, and I don’t think we have enough evidence yet to sort those others out.

The other end of the scale is that this is a virus that evolved into its present form in an animal host and then made the jump into infecting humans through sheer coincidence and bad luck. That does happen, and it has happened many times throughout history, so that absolutely cannot be ruled out. But there are a lot of possibilities in between those two. As the world knows, there is a research facility in Wuhan that has been studying viruses (including coronaviruses), so we also cannot rule out the possibility of an accidental escape from such a site. And there’s also the possibility that such a virus might then be different from wild-type, depending on what sorts of work was done on it. Viruses most certainly have escaped from research facilities before, and this is not a crazy idea.

As scientists with relevant expertise, we agree with the WHO director-general ( 5 ), the United States and 13 other countries ( 6 ), and the European Union ( 7 ) that greater clarity about the origins of this pandemic is necessary and feasible to achieve. We must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data. A proper investigation should be transparent, objective, data-driven, inclusive of broad expertise, subject to independent oversight, and responsibly managed to minimize the impact of conflicts of interest. Public health agencies and research laboratories alike need to open their records to the public. Investigators should document the veracity and provenance of data from which analyses are conducted and conclusions drawn, so that analyses are reproducible by independent experts.

So it’s all an open question, unfortunately. And I think it’s important for people to realize that it’s an open question, and that we need a lot more hard evidence before anything can be said for certain. People up and down the spectrum of opinion need to realize that this could still go in several different directions, and that no matter what the real answer turns out to be – assuming we get one – that it’s going to make some people angry. I just hope we do get one, because it’s really, really important.

Derek, what makes you think that we should not blindly trust the words of Dr. Robert Redfield, former CDC director and an eminent virologist, when he says that:

You shouldn’t blindly trust the beliefs of anyone. Redfield and everyone else are welcome to cough up some data.

Before Redfield achieved all the prestige of working in the Trump administration, he was best known for being wrong about HIV. Now he shills for the dubious UV decontamination technology of Big Ass Fans. Even if we’re going to blindly trust someone for some reason, we can probably find someone better.

What do we call people who put any stock in late antiviral treatment RCTs? Starts with an ‘F’.

Twitch 'hot tub streamer' has ads pulled by streaming site - BBC News

Amouranth is known for her video streams from a hot tub. They've become a divisive topic among Twitch users in recent months.

It is the latest landmark in a long-running row over so-called "hot tub streamers" and their high profile on Amazon-owned Twitch, which traditionally focused on game-streaming content.

Amouranth - whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa - said Twitch had indefinitely suspended advertising on her channel, without any notice, or warning that she was breaking any rules.

"This is an alarming precedent and serves as a stark warning that although content may not ostensibly break community guidelines or terms of service, Twitch has complete discretion to target individual channels and partially or wholly demonetize them for content that is deemed 'not advertiser friendly'," she said.

Twitch policies say that "sexually suggestive content" is banned, but its examples include suggestive camera framing, groping certain body parts, or "erotic dances, such as those involving stripping".

In a stream on Wednesday after the ban, Amouranth told her viewers that her ad revenue "was making me $30,000 a month", and was much higher than the amount she received from direct donations from viewers.

In a stream in April, Amouranth said: "I will agree, long-term, [it is] probably damaging for Twitch's ad revenue. However, if they allow it, they allow it, you know? It's their choice. It is what it is."

Advertising is only paid to Twitch streamers who are part of its partner programme, which it can remove people from at any time. The site can also suspend accounts "at any time for any conduct that we determine to be inappropriate or harmful".
