Helmet

A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries.

Ceremonial or symbolic helmets (e.g. UK policeman's helmet) without protective function are sometimes used. The oldest known use of helmets was by Assyrian soldiers in 900BC, who wore thick leather or bronze helmets to protect the head from blunt object and sword blows and arrow strikes in combat. Soldiers still wear helmets, now often made from lightweight plastic materials.

In civilian life, helmets are used for recreational activities and sports (e.g. jockeys in horse racing, American football, ice hockey, cricket, baseball, and rock climbing); dangerous work activities (e.g. construction, mining, riot police); and transportation (e.g. Motorcycle helmets and bicycle helmets). Since the 1990s, most helmets are made from resin or plastic, which may be reinforced with fibers such as aramids.

The word helmet is diminutive from helm, a Medieval word for protective combat headgear. The Medieval great helm covers the whole head and often is accompanied with camail protecting throat and neck as well. Originally a helmet was a helm which covered the head only partly.

Insatiable (Nadine Coyle song)

"Insatiable" is the debut solo single by Irish recording artist Nadine Coyle. Co-written with Guy Chambers and produced by Ricci Riccardi, the song was released as the lead single from Coyle's debut solo album of the same name (2010). The accompanying music video for "Insatiable" was directed by Wayne Isham and features Coyle performing with a live band against various backdrops. It charted in Ireland, Scotland, the UK and charted on the European singles chart.

Background

"Insatiable" was Coyle's first solo single after seven years as a member of BRIT Award-winning girl group Girls Aloud. During the group's hiatus, Coyle announced plans to release a solo album. Nadine worked with a number of famous songwriters and producers, including Guy Chambers. BBC said the song "showcases a harder, guitar-led sound for the pop singer." Nadine revealed the song was intended to sound "sexy."

Promotion

The song received its official world premiere on In:Demand on 10 September. Coyle visited The Scott Mills Show on 15 September, giving the song its BBC Radio 1 premiere. However, Coyle failed to make the Radio 1 playlist, resulting in a lack of airplay. Coyle appeared on Paul O'Grady Live. She performed at London's G-A-Y on Saturday, 30 October. Coyle had declined to perform on the X-Factor to promote the single as she claimed it would compromise her vocals and that she "is only interested in performing live" as the single "is such a big song".
