Great comeback of James Arthur mark by his new single ‘Medicine’

English singer-songwriter James Arthur returns with his new single “Medicine,” following the massive global success of his song “Train Wreck.”

The film “Medicine” is blatantly autobiographical. The song was written during James’ first writing session for the new album, and it was the very first song he recorded. “Medicine is an uplifting ode to self, relationships, culture and connection, and healing,” James says.

“Medicine is an uplifting ode to self, relationships, culture, and attachment, as well as the soothing, restorative forces of love over adversity,” James writes. It’s the ideal song for the coming spring of 2021.”

“The last year has forced any couple to look at themselves. It held a mirror up to us all, didn’t it? And my partner was hugely supportive through that whole time. There are some pretty dark lyrics in there: ‘When I’m suicidal, you don’t let me spiral…’”

The journey to his new record began in January 2020 whilst James was on a European tour, and old demons began to resurface. “On stage in Madrid, I had this brutal panic attack. I’ve obviously suffered from anxiety over the years but I’d never had that before, not on stage, not it taking hold of me – to the extent that I had to get off because if I didn’t, I was gonna die. Then the next day I developed really bad flu symptoms and had to be rushed into hospital. They found that I had a gallbladder infection, and had to remove it immediately.”

Arthur spent a week in hospital in Switzerland, having cancelled the tour. When he got home, he checked into Nightingale Hospital in central London, and subsequently used his new home as his place of rehab. He undertook therapy 3-4 times week, embarked on a course of medication, began practicing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), gave his gym a good work out and, to relieve the pressure, cancelled the American tour.

By March James was fighting fit enough for his UK arena tour. “And it was probably the best tour I’ve ever done.” But then Coronavirus and lockdown hit. By late spring, with restrictions easing, Arthur was back working. His foresight in building a studio and investing in industry-standard recording gear paid immediate dividends. “And all of a sudden, the music started sounding great. From day one there was a sound that I wanted to go for. Even early on it sounded like a real album, a proper body of work.”

James recently signed a new deal with Columbia Records UK, a co-deal with Columbia Records Germany, who have worked with James for the last five years since his No.1 album ‘Back From The Edge’.

He has sold over 30 million records worldwide and has released three hugely successful albums ‘James Arthur’ (No.2), ‘Back From The Edge’ (No.1) and ‘YOU’ (No.2), alongside nine solo UK Top 40 singles. He has had two No.1 smash hits and was awarded a disc for reaching a billion streams on Spotify with ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’, the No.1 global hit that brought the singer-songwriter from Middlesbrough back from the edge (it currently has 1.6 billion streams on the platform).

James recently dominated the airwaves and charts with his storming collaboration with Sigala ‘Lasting Lover’. The track was a No.1 airplay song in the UK, No.1 on iTunes and Top 10 on the Official Singles Chart. He also recently hit the Official UK Chart with ‘Train Wreck’, a track written and recorded for his 2nd album ‘Back From The Edge’, that found a new lease of life via Tik Tok. The track has had an incredible 365 million streams to date.

The Experiencing Symptoms of Neuropathy towards Filipinos in Metro Manila

Did you know, 99% of Filipinos experiencing Pamamanhid, tusok-tusok, and pangangalay. Filipinos in Metro Manila have felt one of the three symptoms of nerve damage or neuropathy.

The study conducted by P&G Health startling findings from a 2020 consumer study for among 240 Filipinos in Metro Manila age range from 35 to 65 years old on the symptoms of neuropathy. And resulted that seven out of ten respondents have no idea about this neuropathy and much more aware of the other common term, nerve damage.

Neuropathy is a clinical condition where there is damage to the nerves caused by deficiency of B vitamins. It is most common among those who perform repetitive movements for a prolonged period, and put stress on their arms, hands, legs, or feet. It is also frequent among those with diabetes and other degenerative diseases. Genetics and lifestyle could be predisposing factors.

Neuropathy among Filipinos

Majority of respondents started experiencing the symptoms of neuropathy between 36 to 40 years old. Around 94% felt pangangalay or muscle weakness, 90% had that tusok-tusok sensation or tingling, 94% had pamamanhid or numbness on their hands and feet, while 85% experienced all three.

Most of the respondents who had their fair share of the symptoms dismissed these, thinking that these were caused just by tiredness or being overworked.

To relieve their symptoms, most of them did stretching exercises, went for a massage, or took a pill, usually painkillers. Some of them even explored home remedies such as drinking herbal teas. However, 90% of the respondents said that none of what they tried stopped the recurrence of symptoms. There were also those who tried generic B-vitamins, but only 51% said it helped in resolving the discomforts they feel.

Without relief for their symptoms, the respondents had difficulty doing tasks at home, simple chores became much harder to do, and their performance at work were even affected.

This emphasizes the importance of early detection and diagnosis of neuropathy. Under normal conditions, nerves repair naturally through nerve regeneration (Hoke, 2011).  However, this is only possible if less than 50% of the fibers of the nerve tissue is damaged.  Otherwise, this is called “point of no return” by experts.

 Dealing with Nerve Damage Symptoms

Thankfully, neuropathy or nerve damage symptoms can be handled by consulting medical experts and knowing which products work best in stopping the recurrence of the discomforts it brings. In the study conducted, respondents were also asked if they have tried Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion), and 76% of those who have tried using it said that it was helpful in resolving the symptoms they experience.

Clinically proven Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) helps relieve nerve damage and regenerate the nerves. Through the years, Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion) has been promoting nerve care awareness among Filipinos. Its goal is to help Filipinos protect their nerves and have the #NerveToServe so they can continue caring for themselves and for others.

Remember, nerve damage can be properly dealt with if you take action on an early onset. Give your nerves the care that they need so that you can do the things you need to do and achieve your goals.

Keep your nerves in check with Vitamins B1+B6+B12 (Neurobion)! For updates, visit the brand’s official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/NeurobionPhilippines/ and the official website at https://www.neurobion.com/en_PH/home.html.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

We got released new single ‘LDR’ that tells the romantic dilemma in a relationship

Reggae band of eight members Just in time for summer, We Got has released their latest song. “LDR,” a Sony Music Philippines release, is a breezy tropical tune that depicts how cruel a long-distance relationship can be most of the time.

The song slices through the emotional core with its honest take on relationships gone wrong, punctuated by offbeat beats, syncopated bass lines, and punchy horns.

In a collective statement, We Got shares how “LDR” managed to tackle themes that center on trust, temptation, and eventually, lost love. “We have observed that this situation keeps happening over and over. We made this song not to raise more hurt feelings, but to help them realize that there’s more to life than dwelling on lost relationships.”

“LDR” was produced by Raymund Marasigan, who has worked with the crossover act on numerous occasions, particularly on their previously released tunes “Ligaya,” a cover of The Eraserheads’ beloved ‘90s hit, and “Lihim Na Pagtingin,” an original which has amassed more than a hundred thousand streams on Spotify alone.

The band considers working with the acclaimed rock iconas one of the best things that happened to them individually, and as a band. “From his years of experience in the music industry, he was able to share his techniques to make our songs more unique.”

“LDR” was recorded at Kodama Studios with Shinji Tanaka at the helm of mixing and mastering duties, and Hazel Pascua serving as the track’s sound engineer. It will be part of an upcoming record to be released soon via Sony Music Philippines and SoupstarMusic.

We Got’s latest single “LDR” is out now on all digital platforms worldwide.

The Most Awaited Cure

The COVID-19 pandemic, also referred to as the coronavirus pandemic, is an ongoing 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) triggered by the transmission of coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) extreme acute respiratory syndrome, which was first detected in Wuhan, China in December 2019. In January 2020, the outbreak was declared a public health emergency of international significance, and in March 2020, a pandemic.

January 22, 2020 is the day where a suspected covid case arrived in the Philippines, many people are unaware of the kind of virus even specialists are trying their best to contain this outbreak. March 1, 2020 there are 663 suspected covid case reported in the Philippines and the second week of March quarantine are being implemented in the our country as time goes by many cases have been reported in Manila and eventually there are local transmission reported everywhere and the economy is slowly collapsing because of the (ECQ) Enhanced community Quarantined many business are closed temporarily and some are close for good.

Scientists discover vaccines to help people and to continue the economy of each country. There are 6 companies racing to mass produce a coronavirus vaccine this are Novavax, Astrazeneca, johnson and johnson, Sanofi and Glaxosmithkline, moderna, and pfizer and biontech.

Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX), a small-cap vaccine biotech, has gained production capacity for 2.75 billion doses of its vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373. Praha Vaccines and its manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic were purchased by the biotech in May. The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is a viral vector vaccine that is also known as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 or AZD1222. Scientists modified an adenovirus that was originally derived from chimps in order to train the immune system to mount a strong response to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19).Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, developed the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, which is a human adenovirus viral vector vaccine. Sanofi is producing the vaccine candidate itself, while GlaxoSmithKline is adding an adjuvant that should enhance immune response. The two companies plan to manufacture up to 1 billion doses of vaccine a year, internally and through external CMO agreements. The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, codenamed mRNA-1273, is a COVID-19 vaccine developed by the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, and Moderna. Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) is collaborating with German company BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) to develop a COVID-19 vaccine candidate. Like Moderna, the two companies are focused on an mRNA vaccine. That could have serious distribution challenges.

Vaccines mimic the virus or bacteria that causes disease and triggers the body’s creation of antibodies. These antibodies will provide protection once a person is infected with the actual disease causing virus or bacteria.

The most awaited vaccines have already arrived here in the Philippines last February 28, 2021. China’s SinovacBiotech was the first vaccine that was received by our country to treat us against this Covid-19. According to Harry Roque “There is light at the end of the tunnel. That is light at the end of the tunnel”. These vaccines will be the answer to all our prayers, but there are still a lot of doubts if it will be really the solutions to all our problems. Since there are also a lot of side effects shown to other people that have been injected.  They are now starting to inject the vaccines according to the priority list that has been given. The priority groups are the Frontline health workers, seniors’ citizens, indigent population and the uniformed personnel. The priority list is categorized because of the initial limited supply, frontline health workers and uniformed personnel are prioritized since they have higher risk of exposure while on duty and to allow them to continue fulfilling their duties.

As an individual, I have also doubt and fear about these vaccines, because there is also news that shows about the side effects that happened to the individuals that got vaccinated. Some have died, other people have some allergies and some patients have worsened their case. However as time goes by I have been convinced that I should give it a try and be vaccinated to protect myself from this virus. Same as with other people, I hope this vaccine will help us and it turns out well. I still have worries about the side effects of these vaccines but I just hope and pray that everything will go back to normal after this and that vaccines will help us to clear our vision for the future.

Indeed after one year of fighting this pandemic, we are already foreseeing the end of all of these. Everyone around the globe experienced hardships and hurdles. Other people got jobless, the economy collapsed, the students are struggling with their online classes and some businesses got closed for good. But still here we are hoping for the day that we can finally go back to our daily lives and hoping that these vaccines will help us and may it turn out to be a great success.

The Exciting Partnership between AirAsia’s Teleport and food giant McDonald’s to provide fast-moving deliveries

Philippines Teleport, AirAsia’s logistics arm, has partnered with Golden Arches Development Corporation (McDonald’s Philippines), one of the nation’s largest fast-food chains, to aid and guarantee quickly delivery of orders inside the National Capital Region (NCR).

To start off another relationship, AirAsia’s Teleport and McDonald’s executives sent off about 10 members of the airasia delivery team, including AirAsia cabin crew, pilots, and field workers at McDonald’s McKinley West, who will begin transporting customer requests across Metro Manila, beginning in Paranaque and Pasay

Teleport is a full-service logistics network tailored for today’s companies. Apart from the airasia delivery team’s last-mile delivery service, Teleport also conducts air cargo services using AirAsia’s fleet and large network of flights, using available building on passenger planes to minimize transport costs while accessing over 125 city destinations in southeast asia.

McDonald’s consumers will also enjoy the same degree of efficiency when ordering their favorite meals via the McDonald’s PH App.

McDonald’s networks will be used for ordering, payment, and delivery monitoring, while AirAsia’s Teleport will ensure safe, hot, new, and on-time delivery of meals from McDonald’s stores to customers’ doorsteps.

“This collaboration with McDonald’s is part of AirAsia’s pivot to digitalization and opening of other lines of business that will offer work opportunities to anyone who has been seriously impacted by the current pandemic,” said Airasia CEO Ricky Isla.

We at AirAsia will continue to be versatile and open to substantive and constructive improvements that foster growth and development.”

McDonald’s in the Philippines is one of the biggest markets in the region, with nearly 660 locations currently open and more planned for 2021.

The company’s continued growth, as well as the increasing demand from Filipinos for internationally iconic McDonald’s items like the Big Mac and Fries, some very well local classics like Chicken McDo and McSpaghetti, has driven AirAsia-Teleport to “deliver.”

“Our collaboration with AirAsia is part of the company’s on-going digital transformation journey, which began in 2009 with the launch of our McDelivery website, followed by the launch of our McDelivery App in 2014, the use of 3POs in 2018, and cashless payment for McDelivery in 2020,” says Margot Torres, Managing Director of McDonald’s Philippines. “These strategic investments were what allowed the business to Expand.The Company was able to survive the pandemic thanks to these strategic investments, and our continued pursuit of this [digital transformation] will enable us to future-proof our business.”

“We saw significant growth of our delivery business last year, which, enabled by digital technology, allowed us to serve more customers efficiently and safely from the comfort of their homes,” said Kenneth Yang, CEO of McDonald’s Philippines. We will be able to meet rising demand while maintaining high quality standards thanks to collaborations like this with AirAsia and Teleport.
