    The Weeknd is dropping new music!

    On Twitter Monday, the 31-year-old Canadian singer announced that his new album, Dawn FM, will be released Friday. A teaser trailer revealed that the new record will include collaborations with Jim Carrey, Tyler, the Creator, Lil Wayne, Quincy Jones and Oneohtrix Point Never.

    In the quick clip, the Starboy singer explores a new, unfamiliar world – and even ages decades. “A new sonic universe from the mind of The Weeknd,” text on the cryptic video reads, featuring footage of a car and women dancing in a nightclub.

    Days before posting the trailer, the star hinted that something big was coming. “Wake up at dawn tomorrow…,” he tweeted Sunday.

    On Saturday, he also shared a screenshot of text messages between him and his creative director, XO Records co-founder La Mar Taylor, on Instagram where they chatted about the album.

    “Happy New Year brother! What we thinking ??” Taylor asked.

    “Happy new year! Everything feels chaotic again,” the “Save Your Tears” singer replied. “Music can heal and that feels more important than another album rollout. Let’s just drop the whole thing and enjoy it with the people… XO.”

    Dawn FM, his fifth studio album, will follow After Hours, released March 2020. According to his website, The Weeknd is set to embark on the After Hours til Dawn Stadium Tour this summer, traveling to North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East.

    “Due to constraints of arenas and the demand for more shows I want to do something bigger and special for you which requires stadiums,” a message reads. “Current tickets will be refunded automatically and all ticket holders will be given priority to buy tickets for the stadium shows when they go on sale.”

    Tour dates for the After Hours til Dawn Stadium Tour have not yet been announced.

  • Health conditions people keep secret

    Health conditions people keep secret

    Some illnesses can’t be swept under the rug—for instance, rashes or swollen joints. But in other cases, medical problems remain invisible, and patients prefer to keep them that way.
    Do you have one of these frequently hidden conditions? Opening up to your doctor and your loved ones about your health problems, no matter how difficult, can help you get the treatment and support you need to recover and cope.

    1. Overactive Bladder
    If you find yourself heading to the restroom eight or more times per day—or waking up to urinate more than twice per night—you may have an overactive bladder. Medicines that calm your muscles and nerves might help alleviate this condition. But of course, your doctor can’t prescribe them unless he or she knows about your symptoms.

    2. Memory Loss
    Some people keep quiet because they believe cognitive lapses come naturally with age. Others stay mum and fear a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Often, however, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Your doctor may find a treatable cause for memory slips, such as vitamin deficiencies, blood clots, or medication side effects. If you do have dementia, your healthcare team can teach you ways to keep your mind as sharp as possible.

    3. Sexual Health Issues
    Though they’re difficult to discuss in a medical setting, many problems that seem to start in the bedroom actually have a medical cause. For instance, certain medicines can affect sexual function and even desire. Chronic conditions, such as heart disease or cancer may also interfere; treating these issues can help with intimacy problems, too.

    4. Diabetes
    You might not want to seem like the odd one out at meals. Or you may feel overwhelmed by all the steps involved in taking care of your diabetes. Either way, it’s important to come to terms with your condition. Hiding diabetes from your friends and family—or even convincing yourself it’s not a big deal—can result in serious complications. High blood glucose can damage your blood vessels, nerves, eyes, feet, and heart.

    5. Depression
    It’s normal to feel blue sometimes, especially after losses in your life. Feeling sad for more than a few weeks, however, could signal a more serious problem. Also watch for other warning signs, such as a lack of energy, poor appetite, trouble sleeping, or loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy. Let your doctor know how you feel. Medications, counseling, or a combination of the two can help.

    6. Alcohol Abuse
    Drinking problems can sometimes sneak up on you. For one thing, alcohol has different effects on your body as you age. If you find yourself reaching for a drink earlier in the day or unable to control your own alcohol use, talk with your doctor. He or she can suggest strategies for cutting down or quitting altogether.

    7. Miscarriage
    According to a recent survey, nearly half of adult women who lose a pregnancy feel guilt, shame, or as if they are to blame. In fact, most miscarriages occur randomly. And they’re far more common than you’d think. As many as 1 in 5 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. If more people talked openly about pregnancy loss, everyone might feel less isolated, the study authors say.

    8. Incontinence
    You might feel a leak of urine when you cough, laugh or sneeze, or see brown spots in your underwear. You might feel strong urges to go and fail to make it to the bathroom on time. Either way, fecal or urinary incontinence can cause severe embarrassment. But keep in mind that your doctor has heard about these issues before. Treatments like surgery, bowel or bladder training, and diet changes can help alleviate symptoms.

  • This is how to talk about s*x with a new partner

    This is how to talk about s*x with a new partner

    Of course, the months or weeks leading to a new relationship and even the early stages of it would be filled with questions and observations and other ways of trying to know each other more and familiarize yourselves with each other.

    Of all the necessary conversations to have, the one about sex might be one of the most awkward ones. And it won’t be surprising if one or both partners feel a little reluctant or reticent on the subject.

    Regardless of the awkwardness that may be associated with the conversation, it is one that definitely needs to be had particularly if the relationship is meant to be a sexual one.

    So, how do you go about having this conversation?

    Ease them into the conversation
    In a culture where people almost always feel guarded, offended and some-type-of-way hearing sexual topics or discussing sex, it is important to be tactful about your approach to the subject, especially that first time.

    It won’t be strange if your partner needs a little time to go all the way in; if they want to take their time to open up completely.

    You don’t expect them to unpack and unload all on you in just one conversation. So while it is important to be tactful in beginning the conversation, that same finesse has to be carried into the conversation too. Don’t probe when they obviously don’t want to talk about a certain thing or two.

    Give it time.

    Sexual relationship or not?
    The fact that you are talking about sex does not mean the relationship would be a sexual one. People dating are expected to talk about any and everything so far it helps them know each other better and understand the inner workings of each other’s minds.

    So, on the off chance that you did not have the conversation before you became official, the early days of that relationship is the best time to establish whether this is to be a sexual relationship or not, or if one of you would require a little time before feeling cool enough to have sex.

    Ask for their preferences
    This goes without saying. If it is going to be a sexual relationship, you want to know what they expect from you. What are the special sexual needs particular to them, what are the things that make sex rock for them? These are things you really want to ask and know.

    And of course, implement.

  • Beauty care routines you should try in 2022

    Beauty care routines you should try in 2022

    At the end of every year, many people take time to think about the milestones they have been able to achieve so far and some of the steps they can take to create a positive change.

    By the time the new year is starting, there are those goals that we usually have at the back of our minds to keep the momentum going.

    One area that we often look at when making these changes is self-care and beauty. No one would like to have a rough start and that is why it’s important to think about the routines we can adopt.

    Since were almost jumping into 2022, why not consider trying out these beauty care ideas that actually been proven to be very effective:

    Try Simple old-school routines
    In these modern times, we can appreciate the many improvements that have been made in the beauty industry. There are some routines and products that didn’t exist in the past and now we get to enjoy their full benefits.

    All this is wonderful but what if we’re missing out on some of the best regimens and products from the past? Things were much simple back then and maybe that’s exactly what you need.

    Go the natural way
    The number of benefits we get from nature are never ending. There is an abundance of fruits and herbs that can be used in versatile ways.

    Not everyone is a fan of the usual beauty regimens that include chemical filled products and maybe you’re someone looking to explore something more on the natural side.

    Do some research and focus on using natural ingredients instead.

    Include a clean diet
    A huge contributor to a successful beauty care routine is diet. In the new year, you should purpose to change your diet if you haven’t been eating healthy.

    It’s possible that a bad diet is the underlying reason why you barely experience any breakthroughs with your usual hair and skin care regimen.

    A good diet could be your ultimate beauty secret.

    Address the stress
    Beauty goes deeper than a good self-care regimen. It has a lot to do with how you’re feeling and how you cope with issues like stress.

    Although stress is something you can’t see, the effects come in the form of breakouts, hair loss, bloating and so many other physical manifestations.

    Let your new year beauty care routine also include a proper sleep schedule and healthy coping mechanisms for a happier, more radiant you.

    Edit your usual routine
    You don’t have to completely renew your routine if it has been working perfectly for you. Still, you might have spotted a few areas where improvement is needed.

    Don’t be afraid to try something new like facial massages and ice facials because you might discover that there is a better way of reaching your goals.

  • Marvel character who won’t be in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’ -James Gunn

    Marvel character who won’t be in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3’ -James Gunn

    James Gunn has revealed to fans that Marvel character Rom the Space Knight won’t be appearing in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”, because Marvel no longer holds the rights to the character.

    The 55-year-old director responded to a fan who shared some comic book covers and asked if the character could make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through the upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie, but Gunn admitted Marvel doesn’t own the rights to Rom.

    The fan wrote on Twitter: “@JamesGunn please make this dream come true! Bring this to the MCU, even if it’s just an Easter-Egg on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (sic)”

    But Gunn replied: “Alas I cannot as Marvel no longer holds the rights to Rom – just to some other Spaceknights and parts of the story created in the comics – otherwise, believe you me, ol’ toaster head would probably be in the Guardians by now. (sic)”

    ‘Expendables’ star Terry Crews was particularly disappointed by the news.

    He tweeted: “Damn! I loved the ROM series…! (sic)”
    In July, Gunn admitted “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” had “basically been finished for years”.

    He said: “It’s basically been finished for years. I keep fiddling with different things and adding things, and figuring out permutations and stuff – I’m in the middle of doing another draft now – but it’s really small stuff in comparison to what it has been.

    “It’s basically been finished since three years ago.

    “The only time they [Marvel] ever [asked me to include something for future MCU movies] was on the first movie with Thanos, putting Thanos in there. Which they wanted me to do. But besides that they’ve never done that.

    “I know that the characters have been through certain things, so I have to deal with that stuff. But for the most part, they never once asked me to put anything in the script for ‘Volume 3’ to set up anything in the future. Nor would I do it, frankly, it’s not really my thing.”

  • How Dating apps cause Depression

    How Dating apps cause Depression

    In this age of digital technology, it’s largely young people who take the risk of meeting new individuals online.

    Many people make this choice since dating apps provide a large space in which to meet potential lovers.

    However, the more time people spend online looking for love or the right person, the more depression, rage, and anxiety they develop.

    There are advantages and disadvantages to using dating apps; the disadvantages should really concern you.

    Here’s how dating apps leave you depressed

    1. Low self-esteem

    Constant rejection from people you meet online can leave you wondering and questioning your worth. It could bite your self-esteem and make you feel you’re not good enough.

    2. Fake identities

    On online dating applications, there are a lot of liars and deceivers. When you learn about their true identity, such as their financial situation, height, personality traits, and even their marital status. It might lead to trust issues and emotional collapse.

    3. Huge risk of meeting abusers

    Meeting people online comes with a lot of risk. When you eventually meet them, you could be raped, abused, beaten, or even kidnapped.

    4. Frustration

    Experiencing constant rejection or meeting people who aren’t interested in you can leave you and your love life frustrated.

    5. Unlimited number of options

    Dating apps gives you a variety of choices. This sounds like a good thing, but on the flip side, too many options confuse the brain. As a result, having too many options on dating apps can lead to confusion over who to date.

    6. Social awkwardness

    Because of the vast number of people you might meet online, becoming addicted to dating apps can cause you to avoid going out with friends and networking with other people. If you continue like this, it’s only a matter of time before you become socially awkward.

    Imagine getting acquainted with a stranger online and travelling miles to meet them only to find out they lied about their real identity. There’s no way that won’t leave you devastated. Dating apps can be fun but they can also leave you depressed if you’re not cautious.

  • what happened to Slik Talk?

    what happened to Slik Talk?

    Since his pummelling at the hands of rapper and entrepreneur Cassper Nyovest last week, social media users have noticed how YouTube troll Slik Talk has been uncharacteristically quiet.

    @kayTT28 tweeted: “People spoke about how Cassper Nyovest will be making slik talk big and certifying him, his the biggest winner in that fight not Cass, ah y all really believe ur stupid conspiracies 😂😂😂 where is slik talk cause I know where Cass is? Trending as always!”

    Slik Talk hasn’t posted a YouTube video since the morning after his fight with Cassper, which marks a rare period of silence for the YouTuber.

    In his last video, Slik Talk confirmed that he’d been paid his R100K by Cassper and his team and thanked them for their professionalism.

    He ended that particular video off by reassuring his haters that he wouldn’t change his style and he’d continue to be a menace.

    “For those thinking that my channel from now on is gonna be a sunshine and rainbows channel, get the f**k out of here. If you’re thinking Slik Talk is going to humble himself, get the f**k out of here.”

    Perhaps he’s gone back to the drawing board and is mapping out his troll content for 2022. Or maybe he’s just enjoying the festive season with his family and blowing his money.

    Regardless of where he’s disappeared off to, Cassper is still reminding people on social media that he knocked Slik Talk out.

    just this morning, Cassper Tweeted, “Don’t forget, the biggest cyber bully Slik talk was knocked out on camera by Cassper Nyovest this year.”

    We haven’t forgotten, Cass!
