PHUKET, THAILAND, June 04, 2011 (Press-News.org) Between 7th and 16th July 2011, the Jerusalem International Film Festival will be highlighting films by new and established directors from home and abroad to undercover the best new releases. Approximately 200 different films will get to appear at the festival comprising work from a variety of genres and delving into the world of documentaries and short productions.
Each film will be split into a specific category such as Panorama which is based solely on international entries while another will be dedicated to Israeli features. Film buffs can check out the efforts of aspiring directors in the New Directors category, or alternatively what's happening in television dramas. The In the Spirit of Freedom section explores more hard-hitting issues by concerning itself with a person's right to freedom and opinions on human rights.
During the festival judges will be awarding the best features and a special prize is given for the Wolgin Competition which recognises the best Israeli full length film, documentary and short.
Anyone staying at a Jerusalem hotel over the event can also look out for the odd celebrity as the screenings are always well attended by famous film stars. Previous editions have seen names such Jeanne Moreau, Warren Beaty and Chantal Ackerman in attendance.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "Rates are likely to go up at hotels as there'll be so many more people in the city and so for discounted rates people should search online."

Mass extinction victim survives! Snail long thought extinct, isn't
2011-06-04
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Think "mass extinction" and you probably envision dinosaurs dropping dead in the long-ago past or exotic tropical creatures being wiped out when their rainforest habitats are decimated. But a major mass extinction took place right here in North America in the first half of the 20th century, when 47 species of mollusk disappeared after the watershed in which they lived was dammed.
Now, a population of one of those species---a freshwater limpet last seen more than 60 years ago and presumed extinct---has been found in a tributary of the heavily dammed ...
NEJM: PCPs treat hepatitis C as effectively as specialists through new delivery model
2011-06-04
Albuquerque, NM – Under a completely new way of providing health care, primary care clinicians in remote villages, prisons and poor urban neighborhoods who were trained to treat patients with hepatitis C achieved excellent results identical to those of specialists at a university medical center.
These findings, from an evaluation of Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), were published today online by the New England Journal of Medicine and will appear in the June 9 print edition. They demonstrate that primary care providers anywhere can be trained ...
PrEP can significantly lower risk of getting HIV, but is the public buying?
2011-06-04
In a recent clinical trial, non–HIV-infected individuals who used the antiretroviral drug Truvada on a daily basis cut their risk of becoming infected with HIV by 44 percent.
While the findings are reason for great optimism, researchers say it is now important to understand the factors that could influence the public's willingness to use the drug in this way, known as pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP.
Scientists, health authorities and policymakers are currently debating the pros and cons of PrEP in the U.S. and around the world. One significant issue is these ...
From pre-gut cells to glory
2011-06-04
PASADENA, Calif.—For all animals, development begins with the embryo. It is here that uniform cells divide and diversify, and blueprints are laid for future structures, like skeletal and digestive systems. Although biologists have known for some time that signaling processes—messages that tell a cell to express certain genes so as to become certain parts of these structures—exist at this stage, there has not been a clear framework explanation of how it all comes together.
Now, a research team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has outlined exactly how ...
Again, but faster! The spectacular courtship dance of a tiny bird
2011-06-04
A small male bird called a golden-collared manakin performs a difficult, elaborate, physically demanding courtship dance. In new research, life scientists report that female golden-collared manakins select mates based on subtle differences in motor performance during these dances.
"The male jumps like he's been shot out of a cannon," said study co-author Barney Schlinger, professor and departmental chair of integrative biology and physiology and a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UCLA. "It's exquisite. He sails like an acrobat and lands perfectly on ...
ACSM: Weight loss success in a 3-D virtual world
2011-06-04
Participants in two weight-loss programs -- one involving traditional health club sessions and the other delivered online in a 3D virtual world -- lost similar amounts of weight and body fat, but the online contingent reported significantly greater gains in behaviors that could help them live healthier and leaner lives.
"It's counter-intuitive, the idea of being more active in a virtual world, but the activities that they do in a virtual world can carry over into the real world," said Jeanne Johnston, assistant professor of kinesiology at Indiana University. "Through ...
New strain of MRSA discovered
2011-06-04
Scientists have identified a new strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which occurs both in human and dairy cow populations.
The study, led by Dr Mark Holmes at the University of Cambridge, identified the new strain in milk from dairy cows while researching mastitis (a bacterial infection which occurs in the cows' udders).
The new strain's genetic makeup differs greatly from previous strains, which means that the 'gold standard' molecular tests currently used to identify MRSA - a polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR) and slide agglutination ...
Emergency department physicians growing weary of frequent users
2011-06-04
DETROIT – Emergency department physicians are frustrated and burned out from treating patients who frequent the ED for their care, according to a Henry Ford Hospital survey of physicians from across the country.
The survey found that 59 percent of physicians acknowledged having less empathy for so-called frequent users than other patients, and 77 percent held bias for frequent users. Physicians defined frequent users in the survey as patients who visit the ED at least 10 times a year.
Other highlights:
91 percent of physicians say frequent users pose challenges ...
