JJ Abrams’ Loud Robot Label Signs Sally Boy (EXCLUSIVE) - Variety

Image
Loud Robot, filmmaker JJ Abrams' new label through RCA Records, has signed its second act, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sally Boy. The announcement comes with a new track and video "Bad Habits," which you can see and hear below. "Bad Habits" is the third track to be released this summer and will be featured on Sally Boy's forthcoming EP, "Lies I Tell Myself," coming later this year. "I've been keeping touch with my younger self the past few months and he's hyped," Sally Boy said in an intriguingly self-referential comment. "This is what we wanted way back when I started making music, so it's surreal to say I'm a signed artist. I'm ecstatic to work with a label like Loud Robot/RCA that can keep stride with my hyperactive energy — I'm glad we're doing it together :)" The Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles-based artist made his debut in 2020 with his debut EP "Erez" while fin

Are Wrinkled Nipples Ever a Cause for Concern? What to Know - Healthline

Image
Many people associate wrinkling skin with the natural aging process. Aging is only one of several possible causes of wrinkles on the nipples — some of which may be serious. Nipples may be flat or cylindrical in shape, or sometimes inverted, and may even vary in shape from moment to moment. They're located on top of a surrounding circle of skin and glands called the areola. Areolas range in color from light pink to brownish-black, depending on your skin tone. If you've recently given birth, your nipples are designed to release milk from duct systems that fill up in each breast during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the cells in the areolas emit fluid that helps lubricate the nipples. The nipples contain muscles that contract and make them more erect (stand up) when stimulated by breastfeeding, cold, or touch. Most people will experience wrinkled nipples from time to time, sometimes permanently, as they age. Here's what you need to know about nipple wrinkling and its potenti

Contusion vs. Concussion: How They Compare - Verywell Health

Image
Head injuries due to falls, collisions, or accidents are a great burden, representing some of the most significant causes of hospitalizations and deaths. Among the most common of such traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are concussions and cerebral contusions (also known as intracerebral hematoma), a bruising and bleeding of the brain. While these can be related—and both involve damage to structures of the brain—there are also key differences. Concussion refers to cases of loss of awareness following head injury, whereas cerebral contusion refers specifically to bruising in the brain. Both can result from immediate trauma to the brain, but the latter may also arise due to fracture or can happen without trauma as a cause. Regardless of the type, TBIs need to be taken seriously. Inflammation and bleeding in the brain associated with both cerebral contusions and concussions can be permanently disabling or even fatal. While these can coexist, just because you have one doesn&

Red and processed meat linked to heart disease, massive new study says - 7NEWS.com.au

Eating red and processed meat is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, according to a large-scale review by scientists. While red meat such as beef, lamb, and pork is a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, eating too much is already linked to bowel cancer. Experts also recommend that people avoid processed meat, such as bacon, ham, some sausages and salami, to cut their risk of cancer. Now, in the biggest review of all large-scale studies to date, experts have concluded that red and processed meat also increases the risk of heart disease. Researchers from the University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Population Health examined 13 studies on the issue, involving more than 1.4 million people. All those in the study completed detailed dietary assessments and their health was tracked for up to 30 years. The results, published in the journal Critical Reviews In Food Science And Nutrition, found that for every 50g per day intake of processed meat, the risk of coron

How to beat heat rash - Quad City Herald

Q:  I have a heat rash from the hot weather we've been having recently. What's the best way to get rid of it? Donna developed redness and itching in her groin area during a recent heatwave. She first tried applying Gold Bond powder to her red, itchy skin, but it didn't seem to help. Next, she asked us for help.   Heat rash is also called prickly heat or miliaria. It can happen to anyone with active sweat glands. Nearly 40% of infants will experience the discomfort of a heat rash. Prickly heat also afflicts physically active people in the summer heat who sweat while doing strenuous physical work, performing sports, exercising, even gardening. Heat rash is caused by clogged sweat glands. When sweat builds up under your skin, instead of being released through pores in your skin, it can become trapped. The fluid trapped inside your pores can cause swelling and eventually ruptures the pore. This creates small red, raised lesions that burn or itch. Heat rash can
