The Elton John AIDS Foundation (Ejaf) today announced new funding initiatives to increase advocacy and service delivery for people living with and at-risk for HIV and hepatitis C.
In the U.S., Ejaf will be launching a new funding initiative to address HIV in Black gay men and transgender individuals, building on our years of experience and support in fighting AIDS in these communities. In Eastern Europe, Ejaf will launch the Key Populations Fund for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Eeca Kp Fund), focused on prevention and treatment of HIV and hepatitis C for individuals most vulnerable to the HIV epidemic in the region: people who use drugs, sex workers, and gay and bisexual men in the region.
The U.S. program will reach an anticipated 5,000 HIV-positive Black gay men and transgender individuals to learn about their HIV status and get linked to health care, social services and treatment. Another...

One in four British gamers cause £145 worth of damage each year from losing their temper whilst playing games, a new study has today claimed.
VoucherCodesPro.co.uk recently conducted the poll as part of ongoing research into Britons attitudes towards both technology and gaming.
The study found the damage was caused by gamers losing their temper whilst playing, getting into arguments with online players and some even physically breaking their consoles, or TV and furniture.
2,433 British adults aged 18+, all of whom labelled themselves as a ‘gamer’, were quizzed about their gaming habits and if their gaming had the ability to affect their mood.
When asked if they had ever lost their temper whilst playing, 74% admitted they do. 31% of them claimed to lose their temper due to “teammates not playing how they need them to”, 29% said it was due to “online players targeting them”, and 20% said it was due their own mistakes.

One in four Spaniards suffers pain in the lumbar, being the chronic problem more frequent.80% of the population will suffer this health problem at some point in their life
80% of the population will suffer low back pain at some point in their life, according to a study by the Spanish Society of Rheumatology. Eduardo González Zorzano, an expert doctor at Laboratorios Cinfa, warns of the risk involved in adopting bad postures: “Although the causes of these pains can be degenerative diseases, injuries or blows, in most cases they come from bad habits, gestures and inappropriate postures ‘.
As explained by González Zorzano, “back problems appear both sudden and progressive and, although they are not a serious illness, they can have serious repercussions in our daily lives.” In fact, it is one of the main causes of unemployment in our country.

One of the last sacred rules of cinema going may be extinguished, at least at select screenings at one major U.S. theater chain.
Adam Aron, the head of AMC Entertainment, has indicated that he's willing to allow texting and cell phone use during some films in order to try and make cinemagoing more appealing to the millennial crowd.
Talking with Variety at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, Aron discussed attempts to appeal to certain segments of the population that don't see many films in cinemas. Things which go beyond new food options and a better loyalty program:
"We need to reshape our product in some concrete ways so that millennials go to movie theaters with the same degree of intensity as baby boomers went to movie theaters throughout their lives."

Interest in a new service to stream movies at home on the same date they appear in theaters is highest among those already going to the cineplex, according to a new study. The research is likely to add weight to opponents of the system who argue that it will undermine the theatrical exhibition business. One in four consumers surveyed told the research firm MarketCast that that they would “definitely pay to use” a service that allowed them to watch first-run movies at home on the same date as their release in movie theaters, the concept behind Sean Parker and Prem.

One in four people suffer from mental illness in their life, therefore craziness in all its different flavours fascinates and equally appalls humanity at large. The fascination with madness was adopted as a thematic concern in cinema as early as 1920 with Robert Wiene’s classic German Expressionist film, The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari.
That was far from the end of it, and no director would approach insanity with such gusto as Swedish master Ingmar Bergman who made many very intelligent films that revolved around insanity including Face To Face – in which a psychiatrist has a nervous breakdown, Hour Of The Wolf – which could nearly be called a horror movie it evokes the sensation of encroaching madness so well. It is fair to say, that if you want to wallow in mental health misery, Bergman delivers the goods.
But beyond Swedish gloominess, insanity is a theme...

After revealing to Entertainment Tonight in November that he suffered a "breakdown" on his 42nd birthday last June, Brady points to the difficulty men have with opening up about mood disorders in a patriarchal culture that demands they hide their feelings.

In 2004, as Glenn Close was saying goodbye in the driveway of her sister Jessie's Wyoming house, Jessie pulled her aside. "I can't stop thinking of killing myself," Jessie told Glenn. The actress was stunned. "My first reaction was shock, then relief, then sadness that she was in that much pain," says Close, 67, who opens up alongside her sister in the new issue of People about how their family has coped with - and bonded over - mental illness. For Jessie, who hadn't revealed to her family the severity of the mental illness she was struggling with, it was a desperate last chance.

One in four climbers who successfully summits K2, will die on descent. These overwhelming odds are the basis for director Nick Ryan’s The Summit – an incredible story of courage and heroism.
Commonly known as Savage Mountain, K2 is an extension of the northwestern Himalayan Mountain range, and is located in the remote region between Pakistan and China, though most mountaineers won’t risk climbing the more hazardous side of China. It has rightfully earned the title of the second most murderous mountain.
With any high risk sport comes the love of the challenge and in August 2008, 22 climbers from several international expeditions converged on High Camp of K2, the last stop before the summit. 48 hours later, eleven had been killed. When a climber falls or wanders off the trail, the unwritten code of the sport is to leave them for dead. Survival depends on self-preservation at all costs.

Mountain climbing is arguably an inherently selfish act, especially when one attempts to summit a peak like K2. One in four do not survive an excursion on this mountain in northern Pakistan, leaving grief-stricken family members and loved ones to sort out the details of what transpired. K2 might be overshadowed—in terms of height and the publicity it receives—by Everest, but many consider it an even bigger challenge. Traffic jams on the way to the summit can and do occur, and the results can range from frustratingly tedious to deadly. In 2008, a series of events unfolded on the mountain...

Nick Ryan's riveting climbing documentary "The Summit" (Sundance Selects, October 4) reveals the unfolding mystery of how eleven climbers perished on their way down from a successful 2008 ascent to the summit of K2, the victims of bad luck, poorly executed planning, and avalanches. In the tradition of Kevin Macdonald's "Touching the Void," the filmmaker combined 45% archive footage and 20% gripping reenactments using CG--along with interviews--to seamlessly blend a thrilling doc about the lure and elation of climbing K2, which straddles the Himalayas between Pakistan and China, and the terrible dangers even for the strongest experienced climbers. One in four doesn't survive the descent down the mountain. "It was too dangerous to go there," Ryan explained at a Sundance Film Festival Q & A. "It would put us in as much danger as the original climbers." He tried to blend the narrative between the archive footage and reenactments. It works. What happened in 2008 was.

They didn't quite look the part but Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter brought chemistry to BBC4's final biopic

Notes from the Inside with James Rhodes (C4) | 4oD
Dominic West was wonderful, yes, and Helena Bonham Carter too, yes, yes, but the main thing to be said about Burton and Taylor was: what a shame. Such a shame that this phenomenal strand of BBC4 biopics ended there and then, thanks to "budget cuts". They'd done Kenneth Williams, Tony Hancock, Enid Blyton and many others, lives unwrapped with forensic writerly skill, and some magnificent acting, and, yes, a hefty salting of dramatic licence – and yet, throughout, somehow each one netted and skewered the soul of the character in question. The 20th century, in Britain, had at least another three dozen ripe characters to offer up, and now it won't happen.

Dominic West was wonderful, yes, and Helena Bonham Carter too, yes, yes, but the main thing to be said about Burton and Taylor was: what a shame. Such a shame that this phenomenal strand of BBC4 biopics ended there and then, thanks to "budget cuts". They'd done Kenneth Williams, Tony Hancock, Enid Blyton and many others, lives unwrapped with forensic writerly skill, and some magnificent acting, and, yes, a hefty salting of dramatic licence – and yet, throughout, somehow each one netted and skewered the soul of the character in question. The 20th century, in Britain, had at least another three dozen ripe characters to offer up, and now it won't happen.

London, Jan 17: More than half of exasperated parents would rather swap the tantrums and tears of their teen kid for the sleepless nights and dirty nappies of newborn babies, a new survey has revealed.
Raging hormones, tantrums, spots and surliness all combine to make life difficult for mums and dads.
One in four said their child's 13th birthday triggered the start of the teenage angst, the Daily Express reported.
But the advice to parents is to persevere. By the time youngsters turn 17, the worst is over and relationships improve, experts claimed.
While 16 used to be the flashpoint age, increasing pressure on youngsters to fit in, look good and be cool means parents now say 13 is the toughest time.

London, June 21: Six out of ten people in Britain regularly wake up in a bad mood, a new research has revealed.
The study found that on an average, at least two mornings a week are blighted by black moods.
That equates to 6,292 strops over the course of a lifetime.
The biggest cause for grumpiness is a bad night's sleep, followed by a heavy workload to face when we get to the office.
One in ten admitted they were 'shattered' when they woke up, while another 10 percent said work issues made them sloppy in the mornings.
One in four of those polled by Triton Showers said that they automatically woke up in a grumpy mood, often for no reason.
"Waking up in a foul mood is something we can all relate.
