Adult movie and HIV

Los Angeles - More than six pornographic entertainment company worth billions of dollars in California to stop production because the actors are HIV positive.
Vivid Entertainment Group and Wicked Pictures among companies that announced to stop production as a precaution.


"From the perspective of Vivid, there is no question anymore when we hear this. We immediately shut down production and said, 'let's get the facts and evaluate them before we move forward'," said Steven Hirsch, founder of Vivid, one of the biggest adult film makerWednesday (13/10).


"Adult entertainment companies act responsibly. And no one wants to see other people with HIV positive during the test, if nothing they could do to stop it," he said.


Actors in the production of Wicked Pictures movies use condoms.But Steve Orenstein, president of the company said, had detained two production plans, it is highly dependent on further HIV test results from a clinic that serves this pornography industry.


PinkVisual Productions are also scheduled to stop production for at least several weeks. Adult Video News reported the cessation of production also occurs in Hustler Video, Digital Playground, Jennaration X Studios, girlfriends Films, and Kick Ass Pictures.


The identity and gender of the actors who are HIV positive has not been released by the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM), who found the clinic case. The clinic is working to identify and test the on-camera actors partners.


Since its outbreak in 2004, a total of 25 cases of HIV have been found in the AIM clinic. "And at least eight of them are adult movie actress," said Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, director of Communicable Diseases from the Ministry of Public Health Los Angeles County.


Local Public Health Officials, has said the lack of widespread use of condoms in porn film set, has put actors at risk of contracting HIV and other diseases. Adult film producer said, viewers assume the use of condoms is distorted.


"We strongly feel that condom use should be requested in this industry. Like the construction worker will not go to the construction site without protective cap. A player must not make an adult film unsafe sexual acts without condoms," said Kim-Farley.


Last year, a woman tested positive for HIV after engaging in adult movies. And in 2004, the HIV outbreak that caused panic in some actors. The industry is forced to shut down production for a while in some studio in California.


In recent years, advocates and health officials have been arguing with a porn producer, and the proponents of free speech on the use of condoms in adult movies.


State officials to work safety in California, now is considering strengthening the rules designed to prevent transmission of disease by requiring the use of condoms in the movie.


The health and safety officials said they had asked the clinic shared work history record of a worker infected with HIV, but the clinics do not meet that demand. Attorneys for the San Fernando Valley clinic said that it was entirely in accordance with the laws of reporting and privacy.


HIV is spread most often not only through sexual intercourse, but is transmitted through sharing needles for drugs, blood products are infected, as well as babies who are breastfed by HIV-infected women.


HIV is the cause of AIDS, immune disease which gradually destroys the body's ability to fight disease.
"Within a month, Vivid spends an average of U.S. $ 250,000 to make four films, which require a total of 12-15 days of shooting," said Hirsch.


Currently, he said, the company has reserves of unreleased films.The coming months will take place without a new film production activities. "And this affects production Vivid film release schedule," he added.


Mark Kernes, senior editor at Adult Video News, said he expects several companies to stop production until the work is known which companies have a relationship with the actor who contracted HIV.


"It is unclear how the sales will be affected by the production schedule of stops, since many companies like Vivid able to maintain sales with a list of titles that have not been released," said Kernes.


Like any other entertainment industry, adult film producers are also affected by the impact of recession and growth of the Internet that allows people to free hijacked an adult movie.


Last year, Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild CEO Joe Francis asked for federal assistance amounting to U.S. $ 5 billion, because of DVD sales and rental of adult films fell 22%.

Drinking coffee and colon cancer

It has a habit of drinking coffee, but worried about side effects? A study brings good news for you, that revealed, the intake of coffee and a sweet soda drinks probably will not increase the risk of colon cancer.


Previous studies differ on the effects of coffee and tea consumption on cancer. Meanwhile, sweet fizzy drinks linked to obesity and other conditions thought to increase cancer risk.


In a review study that was released in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researcher Dr. Xuehong Zhang and his team of researchers from Harvard School of Public Health, studied 13 studies from North America and Europe. Overall, the study was studying the 730 thousand participants, that 5600 of them later underwent colon cancer.


Consuming more than six cups of coffee, as much as 8 ounces or 227 grams do not have a higher risk of colon cancer. Or, taking more than 18 ounces or 510 grams of soft drinks, although the authors emphasized the possibility of too few participants in the study which will probably result in different conditions.


Researchers reveal, these results are not much influenced by factors such as gender, smoking habits or alcohol consumption.


There is a possibility, an increased risk of colon cancer in heavy tea drinkers who consume more than four cups of non-herbal tea about 8 ounces or 227 grams per day. However, not many people who have a habit of drinking tea that much. Researchers emphasize the need for further research.


Commenting on this, researchers from the Arizona Cancer Center said, in contrast to coffee and tea consumption, intake of sweet soda that began in childhood in various countries.


Furthermore, it is usually sweetened beverages less frequently consumed by adults. These differences should underlie research on soft drinks sweetened at a younger age if you want to know the effects to health, in a statement.

Identification with a unique ear shape

The uniqueness of each human ear shape was very useful. In the future, the body that rarely noticed it believed could replace the role of fingerprints to identify a person's identity.


According to research at the University of Southampton, the shape of the ear on each individual is unique. Therefore, Prof. Mark Nixon who was involved in the study were also developing tools to recognize the uniqueness of these sensors.


In the future, sensors mounted face or retina at the airport will be replaced with sensors form ears. For all this time, a sensor to recognize faces and retinas have many shortcomings assessed.


Sensor face for example, will be even less accurate when the effects of aging begin to deliver the lines wrinkles on the face. In addition, these sensors can only recognize a neutral expression and difficult to recognize faces that are make-up.


Likewise, the sensors of the retina, in fact still have a weakness though is more accurate than the sensor face. The retina can only be identified from very close range, so that made it less practical for use in the centers of the crowd.


"The ear is more secure from the effects of aging and large enough to be recognized from a distance. Because the perfectly formed at birth, the ears did not experience any changes in a lifetime, "said Prof. Nixon was quoted as saying by the Telegraph, Sunday (10/10/2010).


Although only in the test phase, biometric sensor design Prof. Nixon has shown satisfactory results. We tried to identify the ear at 252, the resulting accuracy is 99 percent.


Trial results have also been in the percentage in the event the Fourth International Conference on Biometrics held recently.

Alphabet

There is a shocking news, the alphabet will lose one letter. The announcement came from the Commission on English Language Center (ELCC). After considering and debating this issue for over two years, ELCC finally decided to delete the letter "Z" from the English alphabet to simplify the phonetic aspects of language, and to unite the American and British spelling. What about the fate of the words that have the letter "z" in it? According to the ELCC, the words that begin with "z" will now be replaced with "x". For example:
* Zero to xero* Zoo animals became xoo* Zone becomes xone* Zodiac into xodiac
While the letters "z" is not as the beginning of the word but the words will be replaced with "s". Examples include:
* Becomes visualise visualize* Analyze Becomes Analyse* Becomes materialize materialise
What is your opinion about this change? Would it really simplify the English language, or will it make things more confusing?
