"Lost Patient"
About: New Cross Hospital New Cross Hospital Wolverhampton WV10 0QP
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
My aunt with a critical illness was admitted to New Cross Thursday evening and admitted AMU. We spoke to my aunt friday via text/mobile and attempted to call the ward on Saturday morning. After a 10min wait and an unreal conversation with nurse that couldn't even grasp her surname we gave up and rung off.
About an hour later we recalled to have a similar conversation with four nurses and after 12 minutes on hold was finally off hold to a nurse saying she can't find her!?
After a somewhat exasperated conversation with the nurse tryin to state we were shouting in attempt to exonerate themselves from help which wasnt true, quite rightly we are alarmed they don't have any knowledge of her or can't find her our voices are bound to be anything other than 'calm' but we were far from shouting pr aggressive. Eventually into minute 15 we were passed to a Sister (I will not say her name) to find she was as useless as the other 4 nurses and again trying to play the 'raised voice card' finally agreed to find out and call us back.
Ok she did honour this promise and called us back about 5mins later to be told she had been transfered to C18, but then promptly told by her (the same sister) that they were however denying having her - again!?
Where is my aunt, how can you lose a patient and how can the admin be so horrendously dangerous??

Though the consequences of drinking and driving, or texting and driving, are what make the nightly news, each year thousands of drivers fall asleep at the wheel. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that at least 100,000 police-reported crashes each year are the result of driver fatigue, whether the driver is totally asleep or "merely" exhausted.
With work schedules for many of us approaching 10, 12 or more hours a day, or perhaps we have two jobs and/or work seven days a week just to pay the bills, and adding in the hours involved in raising our families, statistics are on the rise for sleep deprivation and its byproducts. These include automobile accidents, an increase in illness as we become overextended and run down, and decreased cognitive function and productivity at work and home because, as the saying goes, we can't keep our eyes open (our brains go into snooze mode long before our eyes give us away). According to the National Sleep Foundation, "… sleep problems and fatigue are among the most common presentations in a primary care setting."
For some of us, work and family schedules and fewer hours to sleep withstanding, the quality of sleep we get when we finally hit the pillow is not what it should be. Tossing and turning over mounting bills, unrelenting bosses, unfulfilled work at the office, problems with Sarah's soccer tryouts or Adam's college application, computer work late into the night or aging parents–any and all of these create an environment that's not conducive to a good night's rest.
Long-term effects of sleep deprivation can lead to irritability, high blood pressure, increased stress hormone levels, increased risk of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and much more. And while it's true some adults need less sleep than others, it's the quality of sleep that we get that determines how healthy and productive—and safe–we are.
As March is National Sleep Awareness Month, the opportunity to take stock of our sleep habits and also take a lesson from national statistics may just be what the doctor ordered to stem the tide of sleep deprivation and its consequences and institute better habits.
So what can you do to help ensure a better night's sleep?
- First, though there may not be enough hours in a day for work and family, do your best to cut it all off at least two hours prior to bed (three is recommended). That means work-related activities, laundry, cleaning, planning, talking on the phone, etc.
- Do not exercise in the hours before bed as it invigorates heart, brain, and muscles. However undertaken at the right time, exercise can provide for more alert daylight hours and an easier time sleeping as it releases stress and serves as a mood elevator. Mindfully stretching before bed, however, including a gentle yoga practice, can release tension and facilitate sleep.
- Turn off technology, especially the computer, and dim the lights around the house. Ease into a pre-sleep mode by having something warm and soothing to drink (no caffeine or alcohol, of course). A warm bath works wonders for muscle relaxation, which can lull you into a peaceful state. For some, listening to soft music can induce a restful feeling and for others, reading does the trick. Save the thrillers for daylight, and lessen the stimulation on the brain by reading from a regular book (remember them?!) as opposed to technology with a bright screen.
- Restrict the bedroom to light reading (not work-related documents) and sleeping. Resist the temptation to put in a TV which, by its nature, and by virtue of the ubiquitous remote, can challenge the brain rather than quieting it. Better to limit choices and let the mind settle down.
- Clean, cool, fresh air is integral to an optimal night's sleep. Given seasonal extremes, we may not always have the option of opening a window, relegated instead to heat or air conditioning, but do your best to see that the room is not too hot or stuffy nor so cold it keeps you awake just trying to stay warm.

Joe Craft has always dreamed of owning his own independent drugstore. That dream became a reality in 1999 when he opened Plain City Druggist in Ohio, bringing his personal touch to healthcare in a town that had been without a dedicated pharmacy for almost eight years.
Joe has been tireless in his efforts to go above and beyond his customers' expectations for warm, friendly, and compassionate care. His Sync Fill system allows patients to pick up all their prescriptions in one monthly package. He also started a MedBox program for several nearby assisted-living homes and elderly patients. Medications are arranged for patients with a daily pill organizer and delivered each month.
Plain City Druggist understands that today's customers communicate via a wide range of means, so the pharmacy not only makes phone calls to check on patients, but sends text messages and emails, as well as keeps a running blog of community events and healthcare information. Joe Craft's patients are also his friends and neighbors, so he goes out of his way to send birthday, sympathy, get-well cards, and thank-you notes. Because if there is one thing Plain City Druggist knows, it's that Good Neighbors take care of each other!

Hello concha62,
If you click the '?' in the centre of the game window then you will see the instructions for each game. The main difference is that the tense game gives you the name of the tense while the sentence game does not, making it more difficult.

You can tell whether your mobile phone is infected by virus or not in a number of ways. If your application takes time, the phone switches off and restarts by it's own or simply hangs up, you know that your phone has been infected with virus. It is a misconception that it is better to buy a new phone than fixing the old one. You can take your phone to a service provider, like me, to get the virus removed and clean your mobile.
When macro virus infects your mobile applications, it infects the auto loading data and the current document. These viruses edit your registry, disable your menus and cause lots of damage. I can remove macro viruses. Most virus scanners will be able to detect viruses and fix the document. These scanners remove viruses from the infected files. In order to remove an Android virus it is necessary to put your device in Safe mode. All administrator statuses are removed and then the affected app is uninstalled. A complete reset will clear the infection also. I can install antivirus software in your mobile and reset your mobile if necessary. The antivirus software is needed to be updated regularly.
I can fix your mobile viruses and clean your phone so that your phone is not affected with virus anymore. Also, I'll make sure that your phone is protected from future virus attacks.

November 4th, 2016 News
In the first of our GDPR blog series, we looked at why the data protection legislation is changing.
In this, our second article, we will delve into how the new law will affect organisations in the UK.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the UK governing body for Data Protection. The ICO advises that all organisations start to prepare themselves for the GDPR implementation now.
Greater consistency of record keeping will be required and there will be stricter and more consistent enforcement procedures.
Organisations across the EU will need to have a more harmonised set of compliance requirements. As a snapshot, these include:
In short, the reality is that organisations need to consider GDPR as a priority.
In the next of our three-part GDPR blog series, find out whether UK organisations are, in fact, ready for the change.

New 4ch Copter Setup - Wasp v3
I know, not another "how do I get my copter to fly correctly" thread. My apologies if this has been done to death but needing some help with this specific copter.
Just got my Skyartec Wasp v3. Other than the eggshell-thin canopy being cracked on the bottom, it arrived in good shape.
Came with a little hex wrench, nice touch..tightened up what I could, moved the rear servo level and tightened it up.
When I try to hover it, it wants to pull to the left a lot.
1. Is this just ground effect or an adjustment issue?
2. Are the blade holders supposed to be level to each other (eyeball)? One of mine is slightly "turned" from the other one..I guess I have to remove the blade to access the screw, loosen it then physically turn the blade holder so it is like the opposite one?
3. I could see no way to disconnect the motor once the lipo is plugged in..anyone know how to do this on the wasp? possible?
4. When I turned it on, my copter played "Oh Susana"...honest!!
I prefer classical bagpipes, anyone know how to reprogram this? (just kidding hehe)
5. The tail was jigging back and fourth a little bit, what does this mean?
6. When powered on but not running, something in the rear makes an odd sound..I cannot tell if it's the servo or the gyro..does the gyro run when the throttle is not on?
7. The ESC/BEC gets really hot, even just messing around a little bit..is this normal?
Thanks in Advance. I wonder if there is any online video that shows how to prep a 4ch copter?
Wanting to go fly this puppy but am unsure what adjustments it needs exactly, the manual was not precise.
Last edited by demisemiquaver; Apr 28, 2008 at 04:00 PM.
Yeah instead of being level on the tail boom it was off to the side a bit. It was a little loose and I assumed this was something that needed to be fixed.
I moved the servo back to where it was, which now that I look at it seems correct since the pushrod needs to be in a straight line. I checked for binding, etc..seems ok.
Still pulls though and the servo (or gyro) still makes a weird noise when powered up.

There is a ton of online video bud, go to youtube and search. Best bet is to go with the 'HoneyBee King' setup vids as they are popular and will be similar to your wasp, not the exact same, but similar. you my find a vid ofsomeone setting up a Wasp you never know, just start searching at YouTube.
The heli wanting to go to the side could be a normal reaction to the torque of the rotor, it is really hard to tell by just an explanation.
Now if you can hold it in a hover for 10 seconds, then you can start to determine if it is a trim adjustment or simply a 'quirk' of the heli.
Are you familar with how to go about trimming a heli to fly 'hands free'(will never really be hands free, but you can let the sticks go for a second or two and it should remain in a stable hover, that is what you are shooting for at least.
So do you know how the trims work and all that, how you go about leveling the swash if needed ?
I hear ya.
If it pulls while hovering I'm going to adjust (I don't know the name for it) the little adjustment things a few turns to the other side. I get the idea about leveling the swashplate and I assume that's probably what it is.
If I can figure out how to get the training gear mounted onto the landing struts I'm going to take this bad boy out into this 95F Los Angeles day. I don't have any loctite so will keep it short and low.
OH..and what about the paddles above the blades? Should they be more or less level with each other and equidistant on each side?
Onward and Upward

TYLER (KYTX) - Big changes are on the way now that voters approved a $160.5 million school bond for Tyler ISD.
63 percent of voters said it was time for new schools and better technology within the district.
All you see are trees in a lot off of Old Jacksonville Highway behind FRESH. But in two years, a 150,000 square foot middle school will be there with 1,000 students.
"I think it just gives us more options as parents," said Meagan Lissner.
Meagan Lissner is a mother of three who works across from the site. Her oldest child will attend the new middle school in a few years.
"It's going to be close and it will be in walking distance to the shop, so my kids will be close and not all the way across town," said Lissner.
Mentioning across town, Moore Middle School will receive an entire new school.
It will house 1,000 students in a new school building with the latest security and technology.
It will be built on it's current site.
Next, we have Boulter Middle School. It was built in 1959 on Garden Valley road in North Tyler.
The new Boulter will be constructed on the same site and will be the same size as the other two new middle schools.
"I was definitely a big proponent of the bond passing," said Claire Cozad.
Claire Cozad is a former Tyler elementary teacher, who moved from an older school to a new school, when voters approved the bond in 2008.
"I saw a huge difference in the respect level from students. The way they respected the facility, the way they respected their classmates, and they way they respected their teachers," said Cozad.
She hopes the same will happen for students at Dixie and Rice elementary when they're schools are remodeled.
Each school will house 800 students in an 88,000 square foot space.
Before construction starts on the middle and elementary campuses, construction will start on the much talked about career and technical education school.
The school will be located at the corner of Earl Campbell Parkway and Bennett Avenue.
400 students from both John Tyler and Robert E. Lee will attend the school to take part in programs that are not offered in your traditional school.
All the new construction is scheduled to be finished by fall of 2015.
Schools leaders will choose an architect and designer for the schools within the next few months.

Progress and Public opinion Enormous progress has been achieved: - in 1893 only New Zealand could be considered a true democracy, - in 1972 there were 43 free, 38 partly free and 69 not free countries, -in 2002 there were 89 free countries, 56 partly free and 47 not free. and yet
Citizens are not satisfied with their political systems. Gallup International's May 2005 Voice of the People survey of 50,000 citizens across 65 countries on 6 continents results statistically representative of the views of 1.4 billion citizens. Only 7% of the respondents strongly agree with the statement that the world is going in the right direction, and additional 23% somewhat agree with that statement, a mere 30% to be compared with 36% in the year 2001. 61%: globalization has a positive effect on them/ their families increased from 2001 when it has been 55%.

R.F. Kennedy " We will find neither national purpose nor personal satisfaction in an endless amassing if worldly goods. We cannot measure national achievements by GDP, since GDP includes air pollution, cigarette advertisement and ambulances to clear our highways after carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and jails for people who break them. GDP includes destruction of redwoods and of Lake Superior. GDP grows with the production of napalm and nuclear warheads. It does not include the health of our families, the quality of their education, it is indifferent to the safety of our streets... In short, GDP measures everything except what makes life worthwhile."
Failures and problems characterizing the 20.c. ♠ Use of war, military and violence. During 20.c. 400 million men, women and children killed by their own governments, more than during wars (Rummel). States do not seem to be capable of protecting their own citizens, nor assuring them their basic human needs. ♠ Failure of governance – mission impossible? About 200 nation(so caled)-states + 600,000 TNC (with wealth often larger than some medium nation- states) + 50,000 international civil society organizations + 5,000-10,000 different cultures (languages - 90% with less than 10,000 persons).
♠ Old tools from old box still used, e.g. balance of power, deterence, enemies and friends concept. ♠ Clash of civilizations (of cultures??) ♠ New enemies and new problems: terrorism. ♠ Decrease in social capital. ♠ Social cohesion: Inequality compatible with the axiom "people are the wealth of nations" Plato: common good ratio rich : poor = 5:1, J.P. Morgan: bosses should have not more than 20 times the salary of their workers. Global Inequalities Fades as Global Economy Grows ?! Xavier Sala-i-Martin 2002
Market: - it is more than democracy since no tyranny of majority, - but, irrationality of the crowd, even tyranny of the mob - reality vs virtuality Free market ? financial instability → economic crisis demographic transition → 10 G → 2G climate change ← anthropocene (Rodrigo Rato, Annual Conf CoR,Madrid 2007)
New ideas, new tools are required to cope with issues in the 21.c. – and age different from anything experienced and populated by humans - changing and yet deeply rooted in their hunter- gatherer past. Many dangers and threats are recent, and many new will appear. Many recent opportunities and options, and new will appear. Future = predicted events + surprises → Scenaria
1)Business-as-usual (never fully realizes) 2)Meadows et al(math.model diff.eqs, t-dependence of 45 variables and their interdependence). 1972 Limits to growth 3) The Heaven Scenario Ray Kurzweil "Singularity is near": conquering disease & poverty, technology is in control, but wisdom, truth,... peace? 4) The Hell Scenario Bill Joy "Why the future does not need us", F. Fukuyama "Our posthuman future": hostile world, destroying biosphere. 5) The Prevail Scenario Jaron Zepel Lanier (named "virtual reality") "The Future that Loves Us": increasing links among humans, transcendence is social, not solitary. Human are choosing their future. 6) Self-organized Mapping Neural network model (Najdovski, Zidanšek, Šlaus)
Gordian knot Did successes of science resulting in technological power embedded in our hunter-gatherer framework create a knot, a contradiction, a threat to our own existence? How to overcome it? Is there an Alexandrian solution? Can it be?
☺"As never before, the future of each one of us depends on the good of all"- Nobel laureates 2000 ☺"Our safety, our prosperity indeed our freedom are indivisible." (Kofi Annan, 2005) ☺ «Any effective reform in the structure of the world must be accompanied by changes in the thinking of people...People must be educated to an identity with and responsibility for all humanity.» (A. Peccei et al, Dubrovnik-Philadelphia declaration 1974-76)
The greatest obstacles are individual and social inner limits - psychological, cultural and political expressed through personal and collective myopia, irresponsibility and incorrect governance. "The most valuable assets humankind can count on..to stop the decline and to prepare for the future are to be found in the still untapped resources of comprehension, vision and creativity..inherent in every human being."

Kellogg's plumps for palm oil offsettingMay 2011
The world's largest cereal manufacturer has bought offset certificates in a new 'palm oil trading' scheme, citing the present unavailability of sustainable palm oil for use in its products as the reason for doing so.
Kellogg's, which uses about 0.1 per cent of the world's total supply of palm oil annually, has become the first US food industry company to offset all its palm oil use with GreenPalm sustainable certificates.
GreenPalm, endorsed by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil as an official broker for certificates, uses the funds from its trading scheme to promote wider uptake of sustainable palm production, and pays a premium to the producers.
By selling certificates through the GreenPalm programme, palm oil producers can earn more for their crop. Both GreenPalm and Kellogg's claim sourcing sustainable palm oil for use is too difficult and expensive, and GreenPalm estimates that only six per cent of the world's supply is sustainably grown.
Under the offsetting scheme, Kellogg's will contribute to a premium paid to producers using sustainable production processes, and will promote production that is less harmful to the environment.
Kellogg's aims to purchase sustainable palm oil once there is a 'segregated' supply, unmixed with other palm oil from the plantations and mills across the world with which it is now sold.
Dave McLaughlin, agriculture vice-president at WWF, said: Kellogg's efforts 'should be applauded' and will encourage suppliers 'to take the necessary steps to construct a segregated supply chain applauded.'

El Arenal
The bullfighter's neighbourhood par-excellence; this is the location of the Maestranza Bullring. It was previously a large open space between the Triana Door and the Torre del Oro (Golden Tower). The Paseo del Arenal, where Lope de Vega set the exploits of his Picaresque heroes, was created in the 16th century. The myth of Don Juan Tenorio was also forged in this area.
This paseo (walk) begins at the Plaza de toros (Bullring) de la Real Maestranza de Caballería, an 18th century structure with its famous Door of the Prince and magnificent gallery of semicircular arches. Opposite the bullring stands the statue of Carmen la Cigarrera (Carmen the cigarette seller girl) who, according to Merimée and Bizet, was killed on this spot by José, while the bullfighter Escamillo achieved glory in the bullring. Further along this route, Arfe Street contains an interesting building of regional design, today a handicrafts market and the Arco del Postigo, which was the doorway through which oil from Aljarafe entered during the Almohade period. Nearby is the Casa de la Moneda (Mint), an enormous industrial structure which today refurbished as an exhibition centre for the City Hall. The marvellous building, Hospital de la Caridad (15th century) stands on Temprado Street. It became famous under the direction of Miguel de Maraña who financed the works of the hospital and church, both designed by Leonardo de Figueroa. It contains the famous paintings, Postrimerias, by Valdés Leal, and other representations of charity works. Opposite, are the Arenal Exhibition Halls, which make up part of the new Teatro de la Maestranza, the host of the city's opera and music programme. Continuing along the river bank, the visitor arrives at the famous Torre del Oro, built in 1220 next to the end of the old city wall to protect the port from hostile vessels. The tower was named after the gold-coloured tiles which used to cover it. Today it houses the Museo Naval (Naval Museum).
Boats depart daily from the wharf situated next to the Torre del Oro and navigate up the Guadalquivir river to the island of La Cartuja. On Sundays from May to October a passenger boat travels down the Guadalquivir from Seville to the river mouth at Sanlúcar.

In an ongoing trend, unrelated to Obamacare, companies have been passing on more and more healthcare costs to employees.
However, an ACA gotcha has impacted the way costs are passed on, with families taking a bigger hit than individuals at many companies.
Please consider Companies Prepare to Pass More Health Costs to Workers.
Many employers are betting that the Affordable Care Act's requirement that all Americans have health insurance starting in 2014 will bring more people into their plans who have previously opted out. That, along with other rising expenses, is prompting companies to raise workers' premium contributions, steer them toward high-deductible plans and charge them more to cover family members.
The changes as companies roll out their health plans for 2014 aren't solely the result of the ACA. Employers have been pushing more of the cost of providing health insurance on to their workers for years, and firms that aren't booking much sales growth due to the sluggish economy are under heavy pressure to keep expenses down.
A quirk of the Affordable Care Act could make it more appealing for companies to raise rates for family coverage than for individuals, said Vivian Ho, a Rice University health-care economist.
Starting in 2015, companies employing 50 or more people must offer affordable health-care coverage to anyone working 30 hours a week or more. But affordability is measured using the cost of individual coverage, capping the cost at 9.5% of income, Ms. Ho said. Raising family rates could help companies recoup costs without running afoul of that limit, she said.
Gannett Co., which owns more than 80 newspapers and 23 television stations, expects one factor in its increased health costs to be the addition of more employees to its insurance plans due to the ACA rules, according to a person familiar with the company's projections.
To address an overall increase in costs, Gannett has replaced the two plans for families it used to offer its workers with a single high-deductible plan that requires employees to pay the first $3,000 of medical costs each year, according to workers at the Indianapolis Star, one of the company's papers. For those with individual coverage, who make up a little over half of Gannett's insurance pool, the figure is $1,500.
The company also scrapped a sliding scale that let lower-income workers pay lower premiums. For some employees, the result was a 60% jump in monthly premiums for family coverage, to $575 from about $360.
Gannett said more than half of its employees will see premiums fall by 12%.
United Parcel Service Inc. made headlines in August when it said that it would bar spouses from its nonunion health plan if they could get coverage at their own jobs. The company said it expected to see an increase in its health-care costs in part from adding employees to its plan who currently opt out….

Since that stellar moment during his rendition of "This Is The Moment" on ABS-CBN's singing reality talent-search "Star In A Million" in 2003, the soul everyone witnessed from then wildcard finalist Erik Santos gave him the much desired triumph. The acquired triumph started opening a lot of doors for him and labelled Erik as the country's "Prince of Pop".
"This Is The Moment", Erik's first album that went platinum three months after its release in was the first material that showcased his ground-breaking vocals and positioned him to the ballad stream. The album produced massive hits such as "Pagbigyang Muli", "Di Ko Kaya" and "Kung Akin ang Mundo". Erik's Platinum sophomore album "Loving You Now" was released the following year and continued giving soulful ballads via hit singles "Who's Loving You Now", "I Will Never Leave You", remake of Ella Mae Saison's "Goodbye's Not Forever" and "Bakit Ba Iniibig Ka?" an unforgettable collaboration with with Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez.
Erik ventured into something new on "Your Love". Your Love featured Erik's own rendition of popular all-time pop-rock songs. Your Love scored platinum hit singles like Neocolours' "Say You'll Never Go", After Image's "Next in Line" and Rockstar's "Parting Time", a belting piece duet with the R&B Princess Kyla. As a season breaker, Erik released his first Christmas album "All I Want For Christmas" with its carrier hit single "Christmas Is". In 2008, Star Records and Warner Music Philippines combined the two top pop balladeers in the country. Erik and Christian Bautista did a joint project titled "Face-Off", a rundown of their hit singles in one album. "Never Give Up" was the hit duet released from the album.
The following year marked another milestone in Erik's career. Music and ballad genius Jim Brickman blessed Erik with "The Jim Brickman Songbook". A collection of Jim Brickman's creations and performed by the Prince of Pop. "My Love Is Here" fronted the album to its platinum status. Erik's seventh album "Awit Para Sa'yo" was his trademark ballad-full comeback album. The platinum-selling album rendered the originals; "Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka", "Bakit Mahal Pa Rin Kita" and the feel-good track "Hindi Na Magbabago".
It wasn't an ordinary chain of albums for Erik. In between his main albums, Erik has alsodone couple of special singles for EPs, LPs, soundtracks, compilations and many more. Singles for; "Love Life by Boy Abunda", "May Bukas Pa Album", "Tambayan Album", "I-Star 15 OPM No.1s" and recently the very succesful "Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs" just to recall a few.
Erik's discography just goes to show how his music is being expended in an unbounded extent, not just on radio alone but through variety of platforms as well. Progressively heard on hit teleseryes and blockbuster movies over the last decade, Erik's latest music offering is something that will delight his loyal listeners on these mediums. "The Erik Santos Collection" is a compilation of all the teleserye and movie theme songs he has recorded that gave him the secondary title "King Of Teleserye Themesongs" – "Muling Buksan Ang Puso" (from "Muling Buksan Ang Puso), "If You Asked Me To" (from "Unofficially Yours"), "Suddenly It's Magic" (from "Suddenly It's Magic"), "Ikaw" (from "Ina, Kapatid, Anak"), "Miss You Like Crazy" (from "Miss You Like Crazy"), "I'll Never Go" (from "One More Chance") and "Maging Sino Ka Man" (from "Maging Sino Ka Man") are just a glimpse of the tracks in the album that summarize his ten years in the business.
With his unquestioned talent and wide array of music, no wonder why Erik Santos is being appreciated meritoriously. Country's prestigious award-giving bodies have kept an eye for Erik over his ten years of expertise. Some of these recognitions were; Star Awards For Music- Pop Male Recording Artist of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (2010), Star Awards for TV- Best New Male TV Personality (2004); Aliw Awards- Best New Male and Best Performance by a New Male Recording Artist (2004), Best Male Performance in a Concert (2007); Awit Awards- Best Inspirational Song (2009); PMPC Song of the Year (2012); People's Choice Award- Most Promising Ballade (2004); Catholic Mass Media Awards- Best Music Video (2008).
Erik was also recognized by the Tri-Media award-giving bodies. Apportioning some are; MYX Music Awards - Favorite Male Artist (2006 to 2009), Favorite Remake (2007), Favorite Collaboration with Regine Velasquez (2007); ASAP Platinum Circle- Platinum Male Artist (2006 & 2008); ASAP 24K Gold Awards - Erik Santos: The Jim Brickman Songbook (2009); ASAP Pop Viewer' Choice Awards- Pop Male Artist (2006 & 2008), Pop Male Performance (2006), Pop Male Performance in a Music Video (2008), Pop Song (2010); IFM Pinoy Music Awards- Best Performance by a Male Recording Artist (2006), Most Popular Song by a Male Performer (2007); Yes! Readers' Choice Award- Celebrity Home of the Year (2006); Pinoy Music Chart- Artist of the Year (2006) and more ahead.
Though singing has always been Erik's main craft, in his ten-year stay in the industry, he tried widening his horizons through hosting and acting. After his Star In A Million win, Erik became, and still a mainstay performer and host on ABS-CBN's Sunday Variety Show "ASAP". Erik also hosted "Star Power", a singing-reality show with the Megastar Sharon Cuneta. While the two notable lead appearances on "MMK" and the musical stage play "Little Mermaid" with Rachelle Ann Go had proven that Erik has got acting chops too.
Consistently associated with major concerts and jam-packed tours locally and abroad, plus his soulful big pipes, Erik has never failed to fill any concert venue and leave mesmerizing performances. Incomparable concerts under his belt were mostly Big Dome powerhouse shows like "Night Of The Champions" with Erik's co-champions Sarah Geronimo, Rachelle Ann Go, Mark Bautista and Christian Bautista; "The Prince of Pop and The Comedy Concert Queen", a duo-effort concert with the Comedy Queen Ai-ai De Las Alas; "SOLO" Concert in 2009, "Pop Icons" with Christian Bautista, Piolo Pascual, Sam Milby and Mark Bautista and last year's "Greatest Themesongs" at the Meralco Theater.
This November, in celebration of Erik Santos' 10 wonderful years of music and still flourishing reign as the country's one and only Prince of Pop, Erik presents "InTENse: A Decade with the Prince of Pop", November 9, 2013 at the PICC Plenary Hall. Produced by Cornerstone Concerts, the show will take Erik's supporters down memory lane, from his humble and pungent quest down to his finally found stardom niche. Sharing the stage with him are Pop Rock Princess Yeng Constantino, Teleserye Themesong Princess Angeline Quinto, Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai Delas Alas, Concert Queen Pops Fernandez and Asia's Songbird Regine Velasquez. For tickets call Ticketworld at 891-9999.

Diplo And Gucci Mane Announce New Collaborative Album
Four years ago, Diplo released a mixtape of Gucci Mane remixes. The 15-track mixtape was entitled Diplo Presents: Free Gucci (Best Of The Cold War Mixtapes), an obvious reference to his 2011 incarceration, one of several for the chart-topping rapper.
For this recently-announced project, it appears the two artists have teamed up to create something completely new. The collaborative album was officially announced via an excited Tweet from Gucci. After which, Diplo posted a Tweet saying it's actually not an EDM, but that they are in fact working on an album.
Rapper Gucci Mane has topped multiple Billboard charts in his day. His 2010 album The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted debuted at #4 on the US Billboard 200 Chart, and his 2011 EP The Return of Mr. Zone 6 charted at #2 on the Rap Albums chart. We can only imagine what will come from combining the talents of the hit rapper and Mad Decent mastermind. These two powerhouses have the potential to produce something truly groundbreaking.
While no other details are currently available, we'll be sure to keep you updated on the project. In the meantime, enjoy these three tracks from Diplo's Gucci remix tape...

Picture: Freddie Starr leaving Claridge's Hotel to head to Harley Street to give an interview to deny recent claims made against him Featuring: Freddie Starr Where:...
Veteran British comedian Freddie Starr has been arrested for a second time by officers investigating the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal.
The Tv star was taken into custody and quizzed over new sexual offence allegations on Wednesday (24Apr13) - five months after his previous arrest in November (12).
Starr is one of several well known British celebrities who have been questioned as part of Operation Yewtree, which was sparked by a flood of accusations of abuse against Savile following his death in 2012.
The investigation has been split into three parts - the allegations against Savile, allegations against Savile and others, and those against others. Starr's first arrest over claims he groped a 14-year-old girl were linked to Savile, the latest arrest stems from the investigation into other alleged offences, according to reports.
Starr has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

11/14/2011Comments (0)
View Larger Map
This is a very scary story for any parent. We put our children on the school bus each day with the hope that they'll be safe on the road. School bus safety statistics are generally very good, despite the fact that most school buses do not include seat belts for students. Still, the sheer size of a school bus usually protects any passengers from too much harm. Accidents like this one rarely cause so many injuries, which only hints at the danger these passengers faced.
The 24 students who escaped with injuries should not have to suffer this way because someone ran a stop sign. Even if the truck driver's claims about brake failure are true, it is still tragic that so man young children were hurt. The accident report and investigation will reveal what really happened. We can only hope that this accident didn't cause any serious or permanent injuries.

Some described it as a ballsy move today, when Fring announced the availability of their client on iPhone. The folks at Fring are doing this without Apple's blessing, using the Jailbreak installer. Are they thumbing their noses at Apple, or just trying to steal a march on the inevitable waves of similar applications that will follow? Only the Fring team know for sure.
Fring lasted only a short time on my iPhone I'm afraid. The thousands of contacts I maintain in my Skype, MSN, and GTalk buddy lists took too long to load. Further, I couldn't actually dial-out using Skype out. The Fring team characterize this release as a pre-release, and I would have to concur. After a few hours of play, I uninstalled it. Nevertheless I was impressed at both the application itself, and the technical wizardry required make it operate in the background on the iPhone. To my knowledge, no other application has that ability. So I'll try Fring again, after a future update.
If you have a lighter weight buddy list than I do, and a jailbroken iPhone, you may want to check out Fring. It could be just the thing for someone needing inexpensive calling and a multi-headed IM solution on iPhone.

Contemporary dating can be difficult process full of mistakes, regret, and uncertainty. In order to be successful, it is necessary that men and women avoid wasting time on those who are just "not the right fit". If you are interested in having an authentic relationship with a woman, then steer clear of the following:
Static Cling
Fearing abandonment, static cling wants to force you to be with her. She constantly seeks reassurance of your perception of her and needs you to determine her emotional state. Be careful as this one is likely to increase your cell phone bill (constant texts & calls) and may not take no for an answer.
Also called the bag lady, she has loads of unresolved issues that are never fully cleansed. The actions of her previous boyfriends will become your responsibility. Getting to know this woman is difficult, she is holding back because "you are just like all the rest".
Soap Opera Diva
This woman thrives on the dramatic and everything is over-exaggerated and blown out of proportion. She creates drama wherever she goes through her thoughts and actions. Living on conflict, gossip, and tragedy this type of woman will most likely bring you down with the comedy of errors that is her life.
Lady Liberty
Contemporary women work hard, are independent, and able to support themselves financially. They own houses and cars, have stock portfolios, sit on company boards...you name it, we do it all. A woman who cares for herself is very desirable, but a woman who will also let you care for her is irresistible.
Miss Brand Name
Many women like nice things be it shoes, purses, home accessories, etc. With advances in the workplace, they can afford to splurge on things that make them smile and you should too. But women who come to you for everything designer, in-season, and custom made is a problem. Besides, most real men don't want a woman who only wants them for their money.
Bad GirlMen put women in two categories: good girl or bad girl. You settle down with good girls and take them home to meet mom as they are "marriage material". Bad girls give excitement, danger and fun for brief periods of time. Therefore, there is no surprise when the bad girl breaks your heart, sleeps with your best friend, or makes for a lackluster partner. On a side note, most good girls have just enough bad girl in them to keep your interest.

The most popular means of pursuing weight loss are branded diet programs such as the South Beach diet and Weight Watchers. The various popular diets seem quite different on the surface, each claiming its own special reason for being more effective than the others, but beneath the surface they are all essentially the same thing: low-calories diets.
I believe that weight loss is not a worthy goal for most runners to pursue. Nor is dieting (severe calorie restriction) the best way to pursue the proper substitute for the goal of weight loss, which is optimizing body composition. Research has shown that our health is affected not so much by how much we weigh, but rather by how lean we are -- that is, by the ratio of fat-free mass to fat mass in our bodies (commonly measured as body fat percentage).
Men and women who have a high body fat percentage tend to be unhealthy, regardless of whether they're heavy or light. By contrast, individuals who have a low body fat percentage tend to be healthy, again regardless of whether they are heavy or light.
The healthiest men and women have good muscle tone and just enough body fat to perform the functions that body fat is responsible for (e.g. supplying energy).
A lean body composition is also ideal for athletic performance, because muscle is capable of performing work, whereas excess body fat just increases the load the muscles must carry. For these reasons, your weight is not the thing to be concerned about. It's your body composition that's important, with respect to both your overall health and your running.
Optimizing body composition
Optimizing body composition is different from simply losing weight. You can lose weight by losing fat, muscle, water or even bone mass. In order to improve your body composition you must either lose fat, gain muscle or do both. Many athletes feel they would perform better (not to mention look better) if they lost weight. But if you lose muscle (or water) instead of fat, your performance and health will suffer. And the method people most often use to lose weight -- general calorie restriction, or dieting -- is sure to result in some muscle loss, and not necessarily much fat loss.
Severe calorie restriction not only doesn't optimize body composition, but it also compromises running performance by failing to provide adequate energy for workouts and recovery.
Another problem with severe calorie restriction is that it's hard for people to sustain because it causes persistent hunger and requires followers to practice inhuman levels of self-denial of their favorite high-calorie foods. In a Tufts University study that investigated the effectiveness of four popular diets, more than half of the subjects dropped out before the one-year study period was completed.
Feed your muscles, starve your fat
A much better way to optimize your body composition, especially as a runner, is to eat (and exercise) according to the following motto: Feed your muscles, starve your fat.
Feeding your muscles means eating enough calories to preserve your existing muscle tissue and fueling optimal workouts and fast post-workout recovery. It also means working out in ways that ensure most of the calories you eat are used to provide immediate energy or to repair and build muscle tissue. Starving your fat means controlling the amount, types, and timing of the calories you eat to minimize fat storage, and working out in ways that burn off excess fat stores.
There are many simple ways to achieve these effects, which I share in my book, The Cutting-Edge Runner. One example of a way to starve your fat is to trim the waste from your diet. A few key substitutions can easily trim enough calories from your diet to turn a slight caloric surplus into the slight caloric deficit you need to become leaner.
For instance, replace full-fat dairy foods with low-fat alternatives, replace soft drinks and fruit juices with water, and replace that big bowl of ice cream for dessert with a single chocolate candy.
One way to feed your muscles is to strength train. Strength training develops lean muscle tissue, which improves your body composition directly and also indirectly, by increasing your rate of fat burning at rest. Strength training also reduces injuries and enhances running performance. Consuming carbs and protein immediately after your strength workouts will enhance their positive effects on your body composition.
Lean by the numbers
There's a saying among health and fitness experts: "What gets measured gets managed." By measuring your body fat percentage often, you'll naturally make an effort to make that number shrink.
New devices that measure body fat percentage accurately using bioelectrical impedance make monitoring your own body composition as easy as stepping on a scale. Body fat scales made by companies such as Tanita and Omron are available for as little as $40 at pharmacies, department stores and exercise equipment retailers. I recommend taking a body fat measurement at least once every other week.
