Jamie Foxx made countless headlines, when his daughter announced he was in the hospital. The good news, now, is that Foxx is recovering. Initially, his daughter said he had an unnamed “medical complication.” She asked for both privacy and prayers. Now, there are unconfirmed claims that Foxx actually suffered a stroke, and this is why he was in the hospital.
Jamie Foxx was in Atlanta, when he had his health scare. According to some reports, he was in Atlanta filming a movie.

I’m tired of making decisions. If I never hear, “What’s for dinner?” again, it will be too soon. I recently complained to my neurologist friend about my decision fatigue while trying to choose a tea from a dozen options in my cabinet. She told me I had to try her Rule of Five. To avoid choice overload, she never has more than five options for anything in her kitchen. Five protein choices. Five snacks. Five types of tea. Anything more than that, she argues, adds unnecessary complexity to a routine mental task.
Researchers at Caltech agree, though they’re a little more generous; they found the sweet spot for most choices to be between eight and 15 items. More options may seem better initially, but there’s the invisible cost of mental labor to consider. When faced with 24 options, the decision requires more of our time and attention, with little increase in reward. I’ll have a hot cup of tea whether I have to choose between five or a dozen.

The first quarterback-specific helmet designed to help reduce concussions has been approved for use by the NFL and NFLPA, the AP has learned.
The helmet, manufactured by Vicis, reduces the severity of helmet-to-ground impacts, which league data says account for approximately half of quarterback concussions, including the one suffered by Miami's Tua Tagovailoa last season when his head slammed violently against the turf during a Thursday night game against Cincinnati.
"We've now analyzed with our engineers and with the Players Association more than a 1,000 concussions on field, we have a pretty good database of how these injuries occur," NFL executive Jeff Miller told the AP about the helmet-to-ground impacts. "This helmet
performs better in laboratory testing than any helmets we have ever seen for those sorts of impacts."
The helmet performed 7% better than the most popular helmet worn by quarterbacks last season, the league said in a memo sent to team executives on Thursday.
