Loneliness Is A Killer – Youth Are Suffering Of Loneliness

Loneliness Is A Killer – Youth Are Suffering Of Loneliness

Many years back in two neighbouring villages in the U.S. researchers were baffled that despite the comparatively unhealthy diet those living in that particular village, suffered less heart problems and other health problems than the village next door. After years of research and studying many habits of the inhabitants of the two villages the researchers came to the conclusion that in one village lived the descendants of the Dutch and the other village was inhabited mainly by the descendants of Italians. The Dutch were relatively much less interwoven as a community than the Italians who traditionally live closely knit with their neighbours, relatives and family. So despite the pasta, cheeses and what not the Italians lived longer and healthier.

Intergenerational Accommodation – The Alternative To High Rents And Loneliness

Homesharing is a win-win solution and is increasingly popular amongst students. But intergenerational living proves to be much more than simple accommodation as it is intended to be mutually enriching. The principle is simple: elderly people provide housing to young people in exchange for company and occasional services provided or an insignificant monthly rent.

Better Safe Than Sorry: 5 Common Internet Scams

Online scams are rising in popularity and costing individuals a lot of money. Reported romance scams, for example, are among the most costly. In 2019, they cost victims over 201 billion USD and the numbers continue to rise. Sometimes we treat our online life with less caution, perhaps because we do so many online transactions while in the safety of our homes. It is important to understand that every click we make has a consequence and we can get into as much trouble online as we can walking down the street. Being aware of the possible scams is a great step at keeping yourself safe from online criminals.

Marking the World Mental Health Day 2020

Each year the 10th of October is pinned down in the calendar for marking the World Mental Health Day. This occasion is observed annually with the aim of raising awareness on mental health-related topics, mobilizing actors in the support of mental health, as well as bringing it into the public sphere by striving to end the stigmatization surrounding it today. We will highlight the contribution of the Mental Health Foundation, which has been the United Kingdom’s leading charity for people’s mental health, since 1949. Dr. David Crepaz-Keay, Head of Applied Learning at the Foundation, in this exclusive interview for Youth Time, elaborates on the nature of their work and speaks about the 2020 theme Greater Investment in Mental Health.
Concept of work of Ingmar Bergman

Trilogy of Faith of Ingmar Bergman

In this article, we will look at the vast cinematographic journey of Ingmar Bergman. When the genius leaves the world of art, everything that remains after goes into eternity. Just like the author who created all that masterpieces. And if anyone willing to be talked about, he would direct something completely different, which could be beyond the frames of society's understanding. And how ironic it is, those all-embracing stories about the imperfection of life, its emptiness, depravity exists important after centuries. Even though generations change, the value of talking about the depth, as you can see, remains the same.

Roma concept

Roma – an Oscar-Winning Childhood Story

The film “Roma” won Oscars in cinematography and direction, with most of the plot consisting of childhood memories of director Alfonso Cuarón. Previously, Cuarón has directed a movie about cosmic space (“Gravity”) and the road movie “Your Mama, too”. Everyone knew a lot about him as a successful director but understood little about his background. But Roma is from a strictly different perspective, with a plot about the fate of a tender woman in a raucous world, filmed in black and white without unnecessary distractions and with compelling cinematography, a unique aesthetic, and clarity of dialogue. The film reflects not only the memories but also the feelings of Alfonso Cuarón, which makes this one of his most subtle works.
White Lie concept

Only Seven Days to Maintain the Lie!

What is the White Lie? The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as a false statement to stop someone from being upset by the truth. However, the main character of the like-named drama, Katie Arneson, saves as much money as she can, pretending she is struggling with cancer. Moreover, the girl doesn’t get how deeply she could be stuck in a lie, going on and on. But the cause of her “innocent” lies is not only the donations. The reason is hidden inside self-perception, which line the directors follow until the finale.
Daniel Radcliffe

Jungle: the Laws of Nature

What if fried monkey meat turns out to be delicious, and a tropical worm finds your forehead a great place to ripen. Instead of a lightning scar, Daniel Radcliffe has a “live” bump on his forehead, hallucinations, and a dull touch of reality. This is the film “Jungle”, directed by Greg McLean (The Darkness, Rogue) with the real protagonist, Yossi Ghinsberg, as the screenwriter. The story of tourists – travelers who find themselves in the very heart of Bolivia's wilderness  – the wild jungle. Rain and snakes, swamps, deadly rapids, and not quite the fun, colourful trip that was promised at the beginning.
The Kiss

The Greatest: Rodin

Rodin. The thinker and creator who is in an eternal search for ideal forms. He saw the beauty of nature in everything, both alive and inanimate. Rodin, the great sculptor, who became famous in maturity, by creating unique masterpieces – The Thinker, The Gates of Hell, The Burghers of Calais, the monument to Victor Hugo, and the very era of modern sculpture. In 2017, the director Jacques Doillon released a picture of the same name, Rodin – about the life, love, and career of the creator.

Statue of Leonardo da vinci in Milan

The Greatest: Who Are You, Leonardo da Vinci?

Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most significant creative geniuses of all time, was a man whose gifts cannot be narrowly defined. He was an excellent painter, sculptor, thinker, and philosopher, and his genius shone in every single work that he produced. If you asked experts to describe da Vinci in one word, they would probably say that excellence was the determining reality. In every stroke of his brush, in every touch was revealed a profound sense of philosophy - the notion that nature is the only perfection; and God, the supreme creator, is the one who leads us to beauty.

A Christmas Carol 2019

Is Scrooge All That’s Left of `Old Sport` Dickens?

On December 19th, BBC One and FX studios will launch a new version of Dickens`s classic ~ A Christmas Carol~. The 3-episode mini-series will encompass not only the epic story we used to know, but also the innovative manners of the plot. However, cast and crew are intensifying the general anticipation that has become the icing on the cake to get it to the top of the ranking chart. Сreator of Peaky Blinders Steve Knight, Tom Hardy, which was supposed to get a part on-screen, instead of leading the role behind camera, are in the same boat with Andy Serkis, one more Star Warrior and actor in The Lord of the Rings, with breathtaking Guy Pearce (The King's Speech, Prometheus, Mary Queen of Scots, The Rover) – they all appear in Scrooge`s reality, either on- or behind the screen.
