The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the Christmas number one on that release. The record was released on November 29, 1984, and went straight to No. 1 in the UK singles chart, outselling all the other records in the chart put together. It became the fastest- selling single of all time in the UK, selling a million copies in the first week alone. It stayed at No. 1 for five weeks, selling over three million copies and becoming easily the biggest-selling single of all time in the UK.

The "fa-la-la" refrains were probably originally played on the harp. The tune is Welsh dating back to the sixteenth century, and belongs to a winter carol, Nos Galan. In the eighteenth century Mozart used the tune to "Deck the Halls" for a violin and piano duet. The repeated "fa la la" is from medieval ballads and used in Nos Galan, the remaining lyrics are American in origin dating from the nineteenth century.

Stimulant Use and Depression Predict Erratic Use of HIV Drugs

HIV-positive people with a high degree of depressive symptoms, or who use stimulants on a weekly basis, are highly likely to go on and off antiretroviral (ARV) therapy or to stop treatment altogether, according to a study published November 24 in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes. The study’s authors suggest this behavior may help explain why people with psychological and substance use problems have worse health outcomes and faster HIV disease progression.

Researchers have noted the harmful effects of depression and substance abuse on the course of a person’s HIV disease since the earliest days of the epidemic. Taken together, the dozens of studies on these issues have demonstrated that people living with HIV and either depression or substance abuse have lower CD4 counts, higher viral loads, faster disease progression and higher mortality.

A number of factors can help explain poorer health outcomes in people with these conditions. People with psychological and substance abuse problems tend to be poorer, to have worse access to medical care, to be infected with diseases other than HIV, and to have poor treatment adherence when they do go on ARV drugs.

One potential contributing factor to poorer health that has not been well investigated is erratic use of ARVs. This is different than adherence, where the concern is how many doses over a period of time a person took correctly. Rather, ARV utilization explores whether a person purposefully stops taking medication and either remains off treatment or opts to use treatment only intermittently.

To explore this matter, Adam Carrico, PhD, from the University of California in San Francisco, and his colleagues analyzed data from a study that was initially designed to test an intervention to help HIV-positive people reduce behaviors that could pass on the virus to others.

Over 600 people participated in the study, which involved surveys and blood tests conducted every six months for 25 months. Roughly 18 percent of the participants reported at least weekly stimulant use, and 12 percent reported injecting drugs at least once in the previous year.

Ninety-four percent were on ARVs, and 33 percent had an undetectable viral load at the start of the study. Though an ideal adherence level is 95 percent of doses taken correctly, adherence averaged 88 percent across in the cohort.

Carrico and his colleagues defined ARV discontinuation as a person being on treatment and then going off for the remainder of the study. Intermittent ARV use was defined as going off treatment purposefully and then restarting treatment again—at least once. 

The team found that depression and stimulant use both predicted erratic ARV use. People with high depressive scores at the outset of the study were 39 percent more likely to discontinue treatment altogether, while weekly stimulant users were more than two and a half times more likely to report intermittent discontinuations.

People who discontinued ARVs or who had intermittent utilization had much higher viral loads—and therefore a higher risk of HIV disease progression and CD4 cell loss—than people who remained on ARVs throughout the course of the study.

When accounting for poorer adherence and other factors, ARV discontinuation and intermittent utilization were both strongly predictive of a high viral load.

These study results suggest that “adjuvant mental health and substance abuse treatment will be needed to promote sustained ART utilization [and] achieve viral suppression,” the authors stated.

“In the context of HIV medical care, this will require implementation of rapid screening tools for depression and substance abuse and efficient methods for linkage to mental health and/or substance abuse treatment,” they concluded.

Helpful notes:

CD 4 stands for cluster of differentiation. Lymphocytes, a type of immune blood cell in the body, that are infected by HIV and decline. Robust CD4 activity is necessary for antibody production in response to infection or vaccination.

Viral load is a measure of the severity of a viral infection, and can be calculated by estimating the amount of virus in an involved body fluid.

The Aids Song / Jony Jerusalem 
The aids stigma song, a song that talk about the aids stigma and call everyone to smash the aids stigma and give big huge to hiv personals. Jony Jerusalem hiv positive for 7 years wrote this song and hope that it will help us do it
      No one is to blame because I’m just the same

As the people you meet when you walk down the street

We all have a purpose, a life to fulfill

Though some may be healthy and some may be ill

The trouble that hides in me couldn’t be worse

The illness inside me is more like a curse

For I have a virus and AIDS is its name

But don’t turn away from me, I’m not to blame

There are viruses, illnesses, cancers, disease

That can wrestle the strongest of men to his knees

But of all the diseases that cut short one’s life

Only AIDS has a stigma that cuts like a knife

   No, don’t turn away from him, don’t try to hide

   From the person who suffers this sickness inside

   No, don’t turn away for the sake of a name

   For you know, deep inside, we are all just the same

And always remember that though this is true

It doesn’t make me less a person than you

So try to be loving and don’t criticise

Though the stigma may burn in society’s eyes

Yes, the virus may be in the blood in my veins

But I’m just like you, we’re all just the same

I’m still the same person I was yesterday

So next time you see me, please don’t turn away

Remember there’s no one this virus ignores

Though you’ve locked up your houses and bolted the doors

Remember the powerful key that you hold

That opens the heart and brings hope to the soul

   No, don’t turn away, be a friend, understand

   No matter what happens a man’s still a man

   And I call from the heart that beats deep in my breast

   Be loving and patient and look for the best

AL PACINO (done by Ferran Ortí 2 Bachillerato B,  IES Enric Valor Secondary School)

Al PACINO
He was one of the greatest actors in all the film history.He establishedhimself during one of the film gretest decades ( the 1970s), and has also become an enduring and iconic figure int the American movies world.Born on April 25th,1940,in the Bronx (New York) , his parents (salvatore and Rose) got divorced when he was young. He then moved with his mother to his granparents´ house.When Al Pacino was a child he always repeated to himself and said out loud the plots and characters´ voices he had seen in the movies.
Bored and unmotivated at school, the young A Pacino took up  the theatre. Some years later, he started into the prestigious Actor Studio in 1966, studying under the instructions of the legendary acting trainer Lee Strasberg.After appearing in some of his first movies like in "Me , Nataly", he took the role of Michael Corleone in "The Godfather" (1972) .Famous actors such as Robert Redford or Jack Nicholsosn were also interested in getting this role, but director Francis Ford Coppola had set his eyes on the unknown Italian for it.The film was a   smash hit for everyone´s film career , including Al Pacino´s .He got then his first Academy Award nominations as a second role actor. Instead of taking easier projects just for making profit and earning money , he devoted himself to what he considered as tough but important films such as the true-life drama Serpico (1973).Then he was nominated for three years as " the best actor" .He roled in " Justice for Everyone"(1979) for which he received another Academy Award nomination as the best actor.This would  unfortunately mean the beginning of a decline in his career which suffered from critical and commercial flops.He took on another vicious gangster role and cemented his legendary status in the extreme violent cult hit  "Scarface" (1983). Then he came back with the horrible film "Revolution", one of his worst performances.He roled again in the third part of "The Godfather"(1990).In 1992 he finally won the Academy Award as best actor for his amazing performance in "Scent of Woman" (1992).He played a blind man.This role was made for him and reamisn as a classic. "Carlito´s Way" was again another gangster film as well as the epic crime and drama film "Heat" (1995) directed by Michael Mann , co-starring Robert de Niro,even though they only had a couple of scenes together. In  his personla life,Pacino is one of the lasting endurable  bachelors notorious for this for not  being married yet.With his intense and gritty performances,Pacino was very original and new while acting.His method would become at large as a process to be imitated and followed by some other actors.His unbetable number of classical roles has already turned him into a legend.His commitment to acting as his profession and his constant screen control has set him as one of the movie true legends.


QUIZ
Where was he born?                  What movie made him famous?    Who was his coach in the Actors Studio?
Who was his enemy in "Heat"?

SURFING (done by Carlos Cuevas 2 Bachillerato B,  IES Enric Valor Secondary School)

 SURFING

-          What is surfing?

Surfing is a surface water sport in which a person ( the surfer) rides a board (the surfboard) on the crest of a wave.

 -          Parts of a surfboard

In a surfboard there are different parts:

Nose: It’s on the upside of the board and it is the part that makes the  board move in the correct direction.

Rail: It’s on the sides of the board and it is the part where you put the hands when you’re doing the pop up. The pop up is the standing up movement on the surfboard.

Tail: It’s the down part of the board. In the tail there’re the fins which make  the board slide on the water.

Leash: It’s the rope that attaches the surfboard and the surfer.

    -          Parts of a wave          

In a wave there are three important parts:

Crest: Is the top of the wave. It’s the position where the surfer stays. 

Impact zone: It’s the area where the top of the wave is going to fall. If you are here you are in really danger. When the top of the wave falls out, it appears foam.

Tube: It’s the part between the crest and the impact zone. It’s very amazing to see surfers there.

Wave height: It’s the distance between the sea level and the crest of the wave
Trough :A minimum point in a wave

Important Surfers, Kelly Slater
