‘Buster Scruggs’ turns the Old West on its head
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times Published 4:03 AM EST Nov 16, 2018 The Coen brothers’ new epic, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” is an anthology film, a collection of short segments combined under a framing device to make a feature-length whole. The siblings, Joel and Ethan, wrote and directed all six segments, so this film plays like a dinner eaten at a small plates restaurant. Inevitably, some of the dishes are going to be tastier than others. With credits like “True Grit” and “No Country for Old Men,” the Coens are clearly serious Western fans, and they apparently have been accumulating these stories for years. Previous plans to turn them in a limited series for TV were discarded for the current form. Always sticklers for details, the brothers have come up with a deft framing device, creating a fictional antiquarian book titled “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Other Tales of the American Frontier.” They’ve even … [Read more...] about ‘Buster Scruggs’ turns the Old West on its head
Four people suffer heart failure in north west London every day
More than four people were admitted for heart failure to north west London hospitals on average every day during 2017/18. Studies show that approximately 1-2% of the population suffers from heart failure but in many west London boroughs reported rates are much lower, leading to fears many are living unaware of their health problems. Ealing Hospital has responded to the more than 1,500 heart failure admissions in their quarter of London in one year by opening a new heart failure day clinic. The new clinic aims to keep all but the most critically ill out of hospital to reduce strain on the NHS. Dr Harmandeep Singh and Dr Stuart Rosen proposed the three month pilot due to their fears the pressure on bed space and high costs would continue to increase. Dr Singh said: “It is a national problem which costs the NHS more than £5 billion a year and the pressure on bed space is only going to increase unless we see a see change in lifestyle. “I regularly see patients who, through … [Read more...] about Four people suffer heart failure in north west London every day
Bay Bridge bike path on west span would offer ‘breathtaking views’ — and a huge price tag
By Erin Baldassari | [email protected] | Bay Area News GroupPUBLISHED: November 15, 2018 at 6:05 am | UPDATED: November 15, 2018 at 7:22 am SAN FRANCISCO — Long the holy grail for cycling advocates in the Bay Area — a bike and pedestrian path spanning the entire length of the Bay Bridge, offering unparalleled views of San Francisco and a carbon-free alternative to soul-sucking traffic — has, for decades, remained tantalizingly out of reach. It’s just three short miles from San Francisco to Yerba Buena Island, where a bike path to Oakland on the new east span opened in 2016, but it might as well be Mars. Early cost estimates for the path were astronomical and technical challenges loomed large. The project got a little bit more grounded, though, with the release of a study that will be presented publicly for the first time on Monday. The study shows it is technically possible to build — but it won’t be cheap, and it … [Read more...] about Bay Bridge bike path on west span would offer ‘breathtaking views’ — and a huge price tag
