Biggest Kapamilya Bloodletting

Against the backdrop of an acute shortage of blood in Cebu and neighboring areas, here's a bit of good news. The biggest Kapamilya Bloodletting activity ever was held Saturday (February 2, 2008) in four of Cebu's biggest shopping malls. 744 bags of blood were collected from over 800 Cebuanos who trooped to the four venues to give the "gift of life:"

• SM City - 225 donors (75 were deferred);
• EMall - 207 (10 were deferred);
• Gaisano Fiesta Mall - 205 (23 were deferred); and
• Gaisano Mactan - 107.

The quarterly Kapamilya Bloodletting is an initiative of DYAB Abante Bisaya and ABS-CBN Cebu in partnership with the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC), Regional Blood Coordinating Council (RBCC), Regional Blood Center (RBC) and Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC).

Kapamilya Blood Bulletin

Blood is a specialized bodily fluid (technically a tissue) that is composed of a liquid called blood plasma and blood cells suspended within the plasma. The blood cells present in blood are red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes), white blood cells (including both leukocytes and lymphocytes) and platelets (also called thrombocytes). Plasma is predominantly water containing dissolved proteins, salts and many other substances; and makes up about 55% of blood by volume. Mammals have red blood, which is bright red when oxygenated, due to hemoglobin. Some animals, such as the horseshoe crab use hemocyanin to carry oxygen, instead of hemoglobin.

Math Tricks

1. The 11 Times Trick

We all know the trick when multiplying by ten - add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it:

Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52:

5_2

Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle:

5_(5+2)_2

That is it - you have the answer: 572.

If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first:

9_(9+9)_9

(9+1)_8_9

10_8_9

1089 - It works every time.
