PatersonDVD - 2017
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
This is definitely a 'film-fest' movie which I found totally enjoyable. If it were about nothing more than the very funny bull dog, I'd have been happy. However, Adam Driver (who masters every part he's ever played) was just wonderful as a basic nobody in a nondescript town with a lack-luster life. Not sure I'd recommend it for everybody.
oh wow and we thought Jeb Bush was low energy. this guy never even screws his wife and she's the most interesting thing in the movie.
This offbeat project is actually very engaging, bringing droll humor and sweet-hearted feeling to its low-key affirmation of ordinary life.
As Paterson makes these rounds again and again in his bus, Jarmusch unhurriedly crafts a cinematic ode to finding both art and delight in the quotidian.
To the people who think there is little to no " plot " I guess they are not familiar with " art " movies.
IMDb's description describes this film pretty well..."A quiet observation of the triumphs and defeats of daily life, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details."
Paterson (Adam Driver) plays a Paterson, New Jersey bus driver that seems bored and tries to write poetry. Even the director seems bored as Paterson's watch is almost a character, as it's face is shown in the morning and fast forwarded during work. I took the cue a couple of times to fast forward the film as there were many slow scenes that i found to not anything to the film.
I found the character's poetry uninspiring, no matter how much he had tried and found that the more interesting parts of the film, was his artistic, and ever optimistic girlfriend, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani); the bar's Hall of Fame; and the bus passengers conversations.
I was hopeful for more, as i had seen Adam Driver in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the 2016 Silence, portraying a Jesuit priest in Japan. Often the film rests on the talents of the actors, but the script nor the directing supports them.
Jarmush's genius has completely evaporated
You know what you're in store for when you (try to) watch an "art" movie. This one is not as bad as suffering through a Fassbinder movie, or another Werner Herzog disaster. But that's the best I can say for it. It's close though.
I waited how long for this? Yikes!

Pages of quotes in IMDb. These from Japanese poet among the best in mho:
My poetry only in Japanese. No translation. Poetry in translations is like taking a shower with a raincoat on. ... Sometimes an empty page presents more possibilities.
This one on the very talented bulldog is not in IMDb yet:
Hey, yo! Yo my man, lemme holla at you a minute. Hey yo, that's a English Bulldog, right?
-Uh... yeah.
Yo I told you man, them dogs are poppin' right now. Yah that dog mad expensive, right?
-Yeah, well... expensive to feed.
Yeah, this guy yo... No, I feel ya though, but man, dog like that get jacked.
Ya know what I mean? Like dog-jacked my G. Ya feel me? Ya'll look on that?
-Dog-jacked... Well it gives me somethin' to look forward to then I guess.
Aight money... Hey yo, be safe out here, aight? And cuff that dog, it's real out here bruh.
-Alright. I'm gonna go cuff ya Marvin.
Okay Marvin, don't get dog-jacked.

Editor's comment: Prof. Dan Farine: Acidemia with Normal pH
This interesting study looks retrospectively at the rare occurrence of acidemia and/or low base access in babies with normal Apgar scores. The "common sense approach" has been to assume that the test is erroneous as the baby was doing well and ignore it. In Medico-Legal conferences the rationale for pushing for universal cord pH testing has been that it may identify the group of interest for asphyxia (low pH and Apgar scores). According to this approach it was even more interesting to identify the neonates with a normal pH and base excess. These babies may have been exposed to a hostile intra-uterine environment based on history and/or abnormal fetal heart rates and possibly to less than optimal care. However, since they were not acidotic they would not go on to develop cerebral palsy based on the McLennan dogma that was adopted by the major obstetrical societies (FIGO, ACOG, UK guidelines Australian-NZ ones etc.) In these babies the pH was used as a steel barrier preventing medico-legal suites. The group with abnormal pH and good Apgar scores and clinical outcome was believed to be irrelevant as the good clinical outcomes made the possibility of litigation quite remote. It was often regarded as an artifact and not a really low pH. In that respect, it is important to mention that our initial thoughts were found to be incorrect. We believed that unless the cord blood is obtained for testing fast it would deteriorate and result in a false low pH. There are now many studies that show again and again that this is not correct, and that a sample obtained after the cord was left without any cooling still maintained the original pH.
This study is another step in showing that our concepts have been simplistic. A low pH or BE shows that there was anaerobic metabolism but is this equivalent to brain damage? The answer is obviously only sometimes. As adults if one is choked or drowns there is a chance for a full recovery is long as the insult is not prolonged and there was no chronic insult. It is even truer for babies who have brains with better abilities to recuperate. The pH that is really important is the intra-cellular one and not the blood one. There is some data imaging techniques can obtain data on tissue pH. However, this promising approach is not clinical yet. There are two buffering system that to some extent manage to reduce the acidosis. One is the albumin in the blood and the other is the erythrocytes. The pH measured in the fetal cord does not assess directly to what extent these system are used and more importantly – completely used.
So what do clinical studies show? These studies have shown again and again that the outcome could be quite different in babies with the same degree of acidosis. For example research emanating from Dutch data bases show that "only" 50% of babies that meet the criteria for intra-partum acidosis (ph<7.0) are damaged later in life while the other half have no residual damage. It also makes sense that the cut-off point of pH=7.00-7.05 is quite arbitrary. For example, the same Dutch group showed that there are some damaged babies with a cut-off level of 7.10. Interestingly, when this data was presented at the SMFM by a neonatologist his conclusion was "obstetrician should make sure that they do not deliver babies with pH lower than 7.10.
The paper outlines the obstetrical associations with the e combination of acidemia and good Apgars. Most of them (and especially the shoulder dystocia) may be associated with insults that were short in duration – which may explain the presentation.
All of the neonatal outcomes listed are short term (as expected from the design of the study). It may be extremely important to try to get the long term outcome of these babies to see if the old dogma of short term hypoxia and good long term outcome still holds. These kinds of studies are difficult to conduct in general but are likely to be even more difficult in view of concerns from the hospital and the obstetricians of opening a medico-legal Pandora box. However, such data will have immense impact on our knowledge.

Some consider Koshari - a mixture of rice, lentils, and macaroni - to be the national dish. Ramadan
Although Ramadan is a month of fasting for Muslims in Egypt, it is usually when Egyptians pay a lot of attention to food, since breaking the fast is such a big event for extended family.
In this month, many Egyptians will make a special table for the poor or passers-by, usually in a tent in the street. Written Press
The written press is very diverse in Egypt, with over 500 newspapers, journals and magazines available.

There are four sides of the pyramid are accurately oriented to the cardinal points of the compass.
They were not built by slaves but by paid laborers Exactly how the pyramids were built is unclear.
The huge blocks may then have been hauled on sledges with the aid of rollers, papyrus ropes and levers. Although most stone was quarried locally some had to be transported to the site along the Nile.

Jonis Agee Quotes
No one who reads this book will remain unchanged or unaffected-Julene Bair's story arcs from the cornfields of Kansas and Nebraska to the food on our tables and the gas in our cars. There is always a price to be paid, she reminds us, for the pleasures and comforts of this day. If you read only one memoir this year, this is the one to read and pass along.
From the opening lines, Sleeping with Schubert is a hilarious, whimsical romp through the looking glass of a great musical mystery. The writing snaps, crackles, and pops with humor as Bonnie Marson makes Schubert a sexy, happening kind of guy who gives new meaning to our dreaming the impossible.
This novel has it all--mystery, psychological insight, emotional truth, and--most important--characters whose lives matter. You'll fall in love with these families. Solti writes with such passion it is inescapable, lyrical, and profoundly moving. The Forgetting Tree goes on my top ten list.

Faye O'Meara states "I have never been an artist who sticks to just one medium. I have a BFA in Fibers from Massachussetts College of Art and while I still weave, sew, felt and collage, in the last seven years I have found an increasing facination with found wood sculpture. Though the methods and materials are quite different from my textile work, I feel that there is a surprising continuity in my aesthetic choices."

Once Upon a Time…
By Paula Denault
… there was a group of people that dreamt of bringing stories to life in the great outdoors. They struggled, they toiled, they scrimped, they saved, they laughed and they cried. They met giants that had to be slayed and ogres that had to be defeated. Eventually their dreams were realized, and Acting Out Theatre Co. was born. They began creating beautiful stories in magical settings for all to hear. As people heard of their heroic courage, they came in droves to support their cause and to hear their stories! They waited in anticipation for the next story to come. And, alas, another story is about to unfold.
Anticipation is building! The day of auditions for Beauty and the Beast will soon be upon us. From the day this show was announced there has been a palpable energy in the air: from the staff, to the possible cast members, to the future audience. It's so exciting!
This observation got me to wondering about Fairy Tales. Let me first make clear that I am not talking about many of the older versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales, which were created for adult audiences. I'm talking about the most common Fairy Tales of our day that end with a "happily ever after." What is it about a Fairy Tale that is so endearing? Aren't we supposed to stop believing in Fairy Tales after a certain age? Aren't we supposed to stop teaching our children, especially our girls, that there is no knight in shining armor that will carry them away to a happily ever after life? We want to be prepared for the hard knocks in life, after all. We want to prepare kids to stand on their own two feet and not wish for some magic solution to their problem. So why do we all love a fairy tale?
First of all, I think we love fairy tales because they speak to the familiar. It's kind of like coming home after a long, hard day at work and watching reruns of "Friends." It's a story we already know, and even if we aren't familiar with that particular fairy tale, we inherently have an understanding of the story. We can exhale and feel at home.
We love fairy tales because it is a place where good triumphs over evil. Even when the odds seem overwhelming, the unexpected can happen. Ordinary people will rise to fight, and the evil one will be defeated. Who, in this life, has not had to slay a few dragons? Our children will learn that though life may have its challenges, they can overcome. It sends young and old a message of much-needed hope.
Fairy tales teach us lessons: lessons of truth, courage, hard work, justice, sacrifice, honor, and unconditional love. We learn lessons that transcend boundaries. We are reminded that though we are different, we are the same. That "family" is not just by birth-right. We learn that looks are deceiving, and we need to discover what's beneath. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Love covers a multitude of flaws. Love can transform the unlovable.
Fairy Tales are meant to be told and retold. They have a message for young and old. Acting Out is privileged to gather a few of the many talented people in our area, and retell a tale as old as time: Beauty and the Beast. Please, come share in our Fairy Tale!

Talk:ISO 3166-2:TV
|WikiProject Polynesia / Tuvalu
|(Rated Stub-class, Low-importance)
This content should not be here. It has nothing to do with ISO 3166-2. --Zundark 09:14, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I do think that a TLD posted as a Wikipedia article should stay in the format ".xx", because for the average user "ISO 3166-2:XX" is really not meaningful. I understand where that comes from, I just dont think most people would regard it as helpful and/or relevant to what they were looking for. Granted, the only thing that moving it really changed was the title, but I think it should be made as an addition to the content instead. :-) ... Radiojon 10:05, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- I think ".tv" is OK, but I didn't want to provoke an edit war by moving it back. Other possibilities include ".tv ccTLD" and ".tv TLD", or either of those without the dot and/or with TV in uppercase. (I don't think we have a convention for articles on individual TLDs yet.) In any case it should not be here, as this page is supposed to be about ISO 3166-2 codes for subdivisions of Tuvalu. So we need to decide where it should go. --Zundark 10:24, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Now the content is about 3166-2, even though I don't understand the rest of the discussion above. andy 13:13, 19 Oct 2003 (UTC)

DisplaySearch, the worldwide leader in display market research and consulting, will feature a panel session on Home Connectivity at its upcoming 2007 HDTV Conference, to be held October 10-11, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
Industry Experts to Discuss Wired and Wireless Methods for Connecting CE Devices at DisplaySearch's 5th Annual HDTV Conference
AUSTIN, TEXAS, August 9, 2007 - -DisplaySearch, the worldwide leader in display market research and consulting, will feature a panel session on Home Connectivity at its upcoming 2007 HDTV Conference, to be held October 10 -11, 2007 in Los Angeles, California.
'Home connectivity has become an increasingly important topic, as convergence finally nears reality and we experience an increased desire to seamlessly transfer content from a PC to TV, or between next -generation DVD players and HDTVs -leading to new innovations in connectivity,' noted Paul Gagnon, DisplaySearch's Director of North America TV Market Research. 'New options now exist to transfer high -bandwidth, full HD content between devices, but it's critical to know what considerations need to be made when planning products that feature these capabilities.'
Featuring a panel of distinguished executives from some of today's leading consumer electronics manufacturers, DisplaySearch's 'Home Connectivity' panel during the HDTV Conference will focus on what TV and technology companies are developing to enable new wired and wireless connectivity options for consumers, and the impact it will have on our TVs.
The Home Connectivity panel will also address key topics:
The availability of HD content continues to spread from camcorders to next -gen DVD players, but what is the best method for viewing content on a HDTV?
New devices bring PC content to the TV, but what are its limitations?
Can popular internet video sites such as YouTube and multimedia software such as iTunes really find a home in the living room in which consumers expect better picture quality?
How are manufacturers implementing the latest standards, such as HDMI 1.3 and all the features that it enables?
Will wireless improve the out -of -box experience for consumers, or will it simply bring the wireless networking headaches of traditional computer networks?
Will TVs and other CE devices become part of the home network?
DisplaySearch's Home Connectivity panelists include
-Jim Sanduski, Vice President & General Manager, Digital TV Solutions, HP
-John LeMoncheck, President and CEO, SiBeam
- Joseph Lee, HDMI Evangelist, HDMI Licensing, LLC
- Noam Geri, Co -Founder and Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, AMIMON
The moderator will be Paul Gagnon, who serves as DisplaySearch's Director of North American TV Research. Paul has over 10 years of experience in the Consumer Electronics industry, both on the retail and manufacturing side, adding value and insight to DisplaySearch's industry leading analysis.
There are a limited number of presentation slots remaining. If interested, please contact Heather Boudreau at firstname.lastname@example.com.

By Stuart Shea
It's been 100 years,
Since we've had the last dance.
After Tinker and Evers,
We had no Chance.
Gabby was silent and
Sosa splintered, corked like his bat,
Imagine that!
Santo, Jenkins, Billy, Ernie, Hack…
No series, no deposit, no return,
No going back.
100 years.
Even the great Cavaretta caved before the "curse."
All the tears,
All the bad to worse, even before Michael Wuertz.
It is no curse of goat, owner, or drug,
No virus or flu bug,
But rather an indictment of all things Chicago,
Our own luck, our character, our fate.
Our go-go no-show ego.
47th St. to downtown,
North side to Oak Park,
Chatham, Maxwell Street.
(Remember that?)
Our culture is picked, chopped, and reaped by those in London, New York, Ibiza, Amsterdam, just like at each harvest time, when our baseball hopes disappear.
Our writers ignored, ripped off, marginalized, and shunted,
House music stolen and bastardized,
The blues Anglicized,
Our schools vandalized,
Lottery money wasted and schools go begging,
Our leaders prostituted before mobsters, construction racketeers, the hospitality industry.
We are the breadbasket of America, yet many go hungry.
Tonight, all we ask is a damn World Series.
All we want is a fair shake from God,
From baseball.
That's all.
But the fiefdom of the game has screwed us.
Peter Ueberroth,
Commissioner en route to Presidency,
Moved our third home game to San Diego in '84,
Licking the feet of NBC, the television robber barons.
Well, I haven't forgotten, you lying scoundrel.
Bully. King of Creeps, factotum for self-anointed kings.
With your ambition for greater things,
Big business cudgel,
Forced lights on us in '88, with
Blackmail to fans and bribes to local government,
And we were so innocent back then
To think it was just a simple question of right or wrong.
Not for long.
As not to see that it was no longer our game,
If indeed if it ever was.
Free market for owners, free agency for players,
Keep moving, folks,
Nothing free here.
So our heroes, our bought and rented men
Play for glory, applause, salary,
Because it's their job.
Sure, they wear Chicago hats,
But they don't live here.
Not like in the old days when players would drink with fans at Ray's,
Dick Selma buying the house a round,
Ron Santo living off Berteau Avenue,
Glenn Beckert, too,
Ernie and Billy commuting from Chatham.
Even Dave Martinez lived in Roselle.
So what the hell.
Once again, our resources—our attention, our time, our intention, our good will, our money—go out of town.
We root, root, root not for our heroes,
But for ourselves, our egos,
Our own meager sense of worth,
Which we think will be conferred onto us by
Rich guys in pinstripe suits
Beating other rich guys in pinstripe suits,
Just like at the Stock Exchange.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Creating a JScripts object
Presently, the JavascriptHelper is distributed as a single source file. (But that may change in the future. See the "Next Steps" section at the end). Just include it in your project.
The "JScripts" object needs to be created differently depending on where it is being used. (You can, of course, call it anything you like. I use "JScripts" with a capital J & S, so that it corresponds to @Html. Actually, I was using @Script, but Microsoft
decided to use that name starting with MVC4RC)
When used in a view, create it like this:
@{ var JScripts = NovelTheory.Component.JavascriptHelper.Create(this); }
When used inside a @helper method or an HtmlHelper extension method:
var JScripts = NovelTheory.Component.JavascriptHelper.Create(WebPageContext.Current);

Shocking photos show huge great white shark lurking behind unsuspecting surfer
THIS is the terrifying moment that a 10ft-long Great White was seen following a surfer back to shore in the hunt for food.
Andy Johnston took his board out to West Beach near Esperance in Perth, Australia when hundreds of bystanders began shouting and screaming in fear.
Many had spotted the dark shadow looming behind him and pleaded for everyone in the water to swim for their lives.
But brave Andy wasn't going anywhere despite knowing he could have easily been lunch for the ferocious predator.
"If you're going to get chomped then you're going to get chomped - there's nothing you can do about it," he told the Esperance Express.
"I'd rather try to hold my ground against it and not freak out and make a commotion."
Photographer Frits De Bruyn was on holiday at the reef during the ordeal last month.
In his snaps, the shark can be seen just metres away from Andy as he casually rides a wave at the sunny resort.
"I'd rather try to hold my ground against it and not freak out."Andy Johnston
Mr De Bruyn said everyone when into panic when the shadow emerged in the water.
"We were at a lookout and we saw a shadow in the water. It became evident it was shark and everyone started shouting, " he told media outlets.
"He followed him to shore for a bit... he was only a body-length behind him."
But Andy was one of the select few at the scene he didn't seem to panic, despite being a few yards from danger.
He added: "I was focused on what was right there and what was going on.
"I probably have a higher risk of breaking my neck on that reef than the shark causing me harm.
"If you're going to say a shark is a threat every time you see one, well that's not true."
Just two weeks before the incident, surfer Sean Pollard was mauled by two sharks.
The 23-year-old was rushed to hospital and lost his forearm and hand.

How To Make A Sugar Dahlia
So here we are…the very first sugar flower tutorial from Cakes by Krishanthi! We're really excited to be able to share some of the behind-the-scenes work that goes on here. Sugar dahlias require a bit of patience as it involves making numerous petals, colouring and assembling, but it will be well worth the effort (we promise!)
30, 28 and 26 gauge white wires
White flower paste (coloured very pale pink)
A little bit of white fat/Trex for kneading and for the grooved board
White floristry tape
Edible dust colours – pink, white and yellow
Water or sugar glue
Plain-edge cutting wheel
Ball tool
Foam pad
Dresden tool
Silk veining tool
Grooved board
(Note: you can buy all the equipment and flower paste from specialist sugar craft shops online)
Flower Centre:
- Bend a small, open hook in the end of a 26-gauge white wire. The shape you're going for is a bit like a shepherd's crook. Form a small ball of pale pink flower paste. Moisten the wire and insert the hook into the ball. Work the base of the flower paste ball onto the wire to secure it in place. Let it dry overnight.
- Thinly roll out some pale pink flower paste on a board (if the paste is a bit sticky use some white fat/Trex). With a plain-edge cutting wheel cut out small teardrop shaped petals (to go around the ball two or three times). They really don't need to be perfect! Place them on a foam pad and soften the edges with a ball tool. Using the silk veining tool stretch and vein each petal slightly by pressing the tool into the paste. Curl the edges slightly. Moisten the ends of each petal (either with water or sugar glue) and attach around the ball. Repeat the process a couple of times until reaching the desired size (you will add wired petals using this as the base later). Colour the centre (with your preferred colour, e.g. pink and a hint of yellow in the middle) at this stage if you wish.
Building up the dahlia:
- To make the wired petals, roll out a small piece of pale pink sugar paste on grooved board. Cut out a petal shape using the plain-edge cutting wheel. Insert a 30-gauge white wire (for the smaller petals). Gently lift the petal with the wire, pinch the base of the petal to secure it to the wire and soften the edges with a ball tool. Stretch and vein the petal using the silk veining tool. Pinch the petal to curl it in to match the petals of the flower centre and let them dry slightly before colouring and attaching them to the flower centre. Tape the wired petals onto the flower centre using half-width white floristry tape. Position each petal in-between the petals on the previous layer. This really isn't an exact science – you just have to go with what looks good to you!
- Make a large number of petals in various sizes, depending on the size of your flower. Use 26-gauge wire for larger petals. Once you have finished assembling the dahlia dust the edges of the petals with dust colour (here I used dusky pink) to give some definition before steaming it. Steaming means, hold the sugar flower over a boiling kettle to make the dust colours stick and to give a little bit of sheen (do this only for a few seconds!).
Hope you enjoy making your beautiful sugar dahlia. Don't forget to let us know how you got on!

A few days ago, Western Journalism reported on an unprovoked assault on a white commuter aboard the St. Louis Metrolink by a group of black attackers after one of them asked the victim what he thought of the Michael Brown situation.
The 43-year old man who was repeatedly punched and kicked told authorities that he was returning home from work and minding his own business when one of the suspects began attacking him for no reason other than his declining to comment on the Ferguson shooting. There was no robbery attempt, said the victim, whose assault was caught on camera.
Police in St. Louis say they've arrested two people in connection with the beating on the commuter train — a 20-year-old African-American man and a 15-year-old suspect.

Yet, despite the fact that the victim of the attack is white and the alleged perpetrators are black — despite reports that the attackers went after their victim only after the racially charged Ferguson shooting was mentioned — prosecutors say the adult suspect in the beating incident will not be charged with a hate crime.

The arena then illuminated the victims' names in gold on the ice during 58 seconds of silence.
Hockey seemed distant and unimportant to the players on the NHL's newest team in recent days, but the Golden Knights knew they had to play Tuesday night — for their city, for their fans and for the fallen.
And their debut on the Strip was a poignant smash.
James Neal scored twice during a thrilling four-goal first period, and the Golden Knights remained unbeaten three games into their inaugural season with a 5-2 victory over the...

UK suffering from worrying lack of GPs as Junior Doctors threaten exodus over Hunt's plans
BRITAIN is suffering from a worrying lack of doctors at a time when thousands of Junior Doctors are threatening to move abroad over contract plans.
A lack of doctors is causing serious concerns
A report from the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) revealed the NHS is in a dire state of affairs and is behind most of the 34 developed countries reviewed in key areas such as obesity, stroke and cancer.
The country has a much lower than average number of doctors, with only 2.8 doctors per 1,000 people.
The average is 3.3 while Greece has 6.3, Germany has 4.1 and Turkey has just 1.8.
We are making the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world
And experts said the UK would need 26,500 more doctors and 47,700 nurses to meet the average.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt announced yesterday details of a new contract for Junior Doctors after saying there are not enough doctors working on weekends.
But the contract has created a backlash of trainee medics - any doctor below consultant level - threatening to leave the NHS for Australia and New Zealand as they say they are already overstretched and will be treated better overseas.
Obesity is becoming a major issue in the UK
The public have been getting behind the Express.co.uk petition to urge the Government to scrap the plans which doctors say will mean longer hours and less pay.
The Department of Health (DoH) acknowledged there are areas where the NHS can improve and said it has invested accordingly.
The level of spending in the NHS also revealed it is at breaking point with a below average amount of funding at £2,119 per person a year - the same as 2009 with inflation adjustment.
Countries including Ireland, Japan, France and Switzerland are all spending more than the UK.
Cancer survival has got better in the UK - but not for all types of cancer
A DoH spokeswoman said: "We are making the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world which is why we have invested £10 billion to fund the NHS's own plan for its future.
"We know there are areas where the NHS can improve which is why we have prioritised investment in the frontline and there are already more than 21,400 extra clinical staff, including 10,500 additional doctors and more than 7,600 additional nurses on our wards since May 2010."
Cancer survival rates have increased in the UK over the past ten years but female related cancer survival rates were especially bad with Britain ranking 21st out of 23 countries for cervical cancer survival and 20th for breast, as well as colorectal cancer survival - however the OECD noted survival rates were improving.
The report also revealed obesity rates in the UK are extremely high, with 24.9 per cent of the population overweight, with the average at 19 per cent, and only nine other countries such as the United States and Mexico are more obese.
Brits are drinking more and more
Alcohol consumption has actually decreased since 2000 but with an average 9.5 litres being drunk per person over the age of 15 a year, it is still higher than the average of just below nine - and frighteningly the heaviest drinking 20 per cent of the population drink almost two thirds of all alcohol consumed.
The 18 countries who imbibe more alcohol than Britain are all European countries.
The DoH spokeswoman added: "The OECD report shows there are many indicators where the NHS continues to be the envy of the world."
Smoking has dramatically reduced since 2000 but one in five Britons are still picking up cigarettes, matching the average.
The OECD praised the NHS for a number of things including very low waiting times for planned surgery such as hip and knee replacement.
Vaccination coverage is also good as well as breast and cervical screening rates.
Dr Clive Peedell, leader of the National Health Action Party, campaigning for a better NHS, said sever cuts to the public health budget are having "detrimental" effects on the prevention of ill health.
He said: "While the OECD has shown the NHS is short of 75,000 doctors and nurses, which will require an addition £5bn per year to fund, the Tories are intent on forcing through another £22bn 'efficiency savings' by 2020."

New national a huge success
National championships held on commercial carp lakes are here to stay after the first ever event of its kind was branded a 'huge success'.
The 2013 'Stillwater Championship' was held at Lindholme, Hayfield and Hallcroft fisheries in the Doncaster area last month with 18 teams of 10 entering the prestigious event that was won by the legendary Ultimate Barnsley Blacks.
These commercial venues had been controversially chosen to host the 2013 Division Two National but, following complaints from traditionalists, who were opposed to moving the event from a 'natural venue', the match was moved to the Great River Ouse and the Stillwater Championships was created as a trial to gague the demand for a 'commercial only' event.
Due to the resounding success and popularity of the competition it will now be a permanent fixture on the match calendar running alongside more traditional 'Nationals' staged on the UK's rivers and canals.
The Angling Trust, which organises the new event, has already booked Cudmore Fishery and Heronbrook Fishery in Staffordshire for next year and the organisations Chair of Competitions Mick Turner is of the opinion that the Stillwater Championships will only get bigger.
"You've only got to look at the entries for open matches to see there is a market for a 'commercial national'," Mick told Angling Times.
"I'm confident more teams will enter next year when they realise what is involved as the match produced 11 weights over 100lb and Barnsley received £3,500 for winning.
Steve Sanders, captain of Daiwa Dorking, the most successful team in the country, is all for a permanent team event on commercial fisheries and he added: "Any match, which puts plenty of anglers on the bank is worth fishing, whatever the venue.
"We didn't put a team in this year because it was a four to five hour drive away, but we are seriously considering entering the next one because the 2013 event has been such a success."

Winslow returns to Jets
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Tight end Kellen Winslow served the final game of his four-game suspension on Sunday, when the New York Jets beat the New Orleans Saints, 26-20.
The Jets received a roster exemption Monday for Winslow and must decide whether or not to add him to the active roster by 4 p.m. ET on Nov. 11. Winslow was suspended Oct. 11 for violating the NFL's performance enhancing drug policy.
"Our team's going on the bye week. We're not staying here for him," Jets coach Rex Ryan joked Monday. "I'm just kidding (laughing). How cut throat would that be? Sorry, kid, you just go out there and run all the routes you want. Yeah, we'll see. It is good to get him back."
Winslow said Monday he didn't take an illegal drug and that he suspected the positive test was triggered by allergy medication or vitamins. Winslow has 17 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns in five games and should slide right into a key role for the Jets, whose receiving corps has been decimated by injury this season.

As the NFL owners met in Dallas yesterday, we as the voice of Chargers fans are calling on the team, the mayor, City Council, and the NFL to come back to the table with serious efforts. We had the City's plan last year and the team's plan this year, but, now we're left with no real, solid plan that can prevent relocation.
We know it is easy to think of the franchises in California as chess pieces, in this high stakes games sometimes the NFL owners miss the core fuel that lights the fire of the league – fan passion. With almost six decades of loyalty, San Diego should not lose its team and deserves true leadership from the team and our elected officials.
We feel the fans concerns are being ignored. We know The NFL is a private corporation but we drive the NFL. We make the NFL work. We are merchandise sales. We are the ticket sales. We are the ratings that generate the massive TV deals.
We are pleading with the owners to extend the Chargers LA offer at least one more year to give our city a chance to close the deal. You may be familiar with our friends in Crown Downtown, it took them 3 tries to get an arena built. We ask that the NFL give us the same time frame to do the same. We understand the perception after the failed C vote and how that may seem like the last ditch effort. We thank the Spanos family for their efforts on Measure C, but, it was doomed to fail. San Diego County outside of the City limits is home to the largest population of local fans and they were not included in the vote. The high threshold for a tax increase was not a realistic possibility and should not seal the fate of professional football in this community who has been loyal to the Chargers for decades – even before the Spanos family even bought the team.
We have a unique natural environment that makes it ideal for championship games. We believe the value of the market is worth the long fight.
The Chargers in LA might solve the problem of where the team plays but will doom the franchise to try and build a fan base in a city already struggling to support one team. It will crush the existing fan base many of whom with not follow the team. We understand outside of California it seems like a short drive – what is the big deal? Imagine asking Yankees fans to follow the team to Boston or Philadelphia.
Granting relocation at this time and refusing an extension will only serve to hurt the fans that make the NFL Sundays so special. Many local businesses that thrive on their relationship with the team will also fail. We represent and support them too.
As Save Our Bolts, we call on City Leaders to act now and the NFL to give us the time finish what we have started.
Thank you kindly,
Save Our Bolts

Written by: Aurora Vendramini
I heard many times in treatment, "You can't recover until you want to recover."
It is true. However, nobody ever told me how to want to recover. I have read books written by recovered people and listened to recovered people speak. They always spoke about this thing that I will call an 'Ah Ha' moment. This is the moment in which they decide they want to recover and from there everything seems to just get better. Nobody told me that after this 'Ah Ha' moment it would still be hard. What's more, nobody told me what this 'Ah Ha' moment would be like.
I always pictured that it would happen as if being struck by lightning, echoing something out of a film. I thought of myself standing on a hill, as the clouds part I would be struck by lightning, saying to myself, "I'm going to recover now!" Handle's Hallelujah chorus would start playing to finish the moment.
I don't need to tell you that there was no hill, no parting clouds, no lightning bolt and no music.
In fact my big 'Ah Ha' moment never came.
I'd heard that hitting rock-bottom was an 'Ah Ha' moment because there was no way other than up. That was partly right. I hit rock-bottom and there was no other way to go but up. However, I didn't have to go up too far before I fell back to rock-bottom. Clearly that was not going to be my 'Ah Ha' moment.
I began to get frustrated. Part of me wanted to recover but my heart wasn't truly committed. I would sit in therapy talking about how hard it was, about how I had tried and failed yet again. I would try and stick to my meal plan and fail. I would try not to self-harm and fail.
One day my psychologist sat back in his chair, looking me in the eye with a look I hadn't seen before and said, "When are you going to stop trying and start doing? You can try all you want but you'll keep failing and in the end you'll fail all your way to the grave."
I just looked at him. There was no lightning bolt, rather a switch flicked on in my head.
My psychologist was right. I thought I had been making progress, because I was saying I was trying to do something different. In actual fact none of my behaviors had changed. The only thing that had changed was, that instead of telling people I wasn't going to change, I was telling people that I was trying to change and failing.
That day was just over a year ago and I can count on one hand the amount of times I've skipped a meal since then. It didn't magically become easier. In fact, it was really hard. I was determined. As I was eating, I was feeling emotions and my psychologist became so much more useful to me. Instead of having a bad day and restricting, I'd have a bad day, vent to him, eat what I had to and feel victorious at the end of it, rather than feeling hopeless.
That was 'Ah Ha' moment Number One.
'Ah Ha' moment Number Two came a few months later. I was working in a job I didn't particularly like. I was over it. I hated it and it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. When I realized I'd rather end up in hospital than work and started to actively restrict I realized there was a big problem.
'Ah Ha' moment Number Two was deciding to take charge of my life and put it on the path I wanted. Again, it wasn't some big lightning bolt moment but more of a life choice. I quit my job and went back to school. Sitting at my desk when I decided that this was what I really needed to do, I also realized I needed to be in recovery to do it. I'd tried university before and failed due to my eating disorder. I couldn't afford to do it again, both mentally and financially. I needed to be healthy, or at least working towards health to do it.
Going back to university was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. I was surrounded by 'normal' people and for the first time in a long time got to see how 'normal' people ate. It has frustrated me that the other students could come to school on the first day and buy something from the cafeteria, without having any idea what food was served. There was no way I could have done that but I wanted to. I wanted to be able to go out to lunch with the others during our long lunch break and didn't want to just hang around campus. I wanted to be able to go out to coffee after class and not have to rush off to appointments instead. Seeing my classmates eat freely from the cafeteria that first day was another 'Ah Ha' moment. I thought to myself that, I wanted that and although I'm getting there I need to keep pushing myself.
Through these series of smaller 'Ah Ha' moments, I have found my desire to recover. I was never struck by that lightening moment and it never happened like I thought it would. There was no huge realization. Rather, it was a series of smaller realizations that resulted in me finding my desire to recover.
Was it all roses from then on? Was it easy? Hell no! It was hell. It was harder than it was when I was restricting. I'm not saying this to put anyone off recovery because even though it's hard, I wouldn't go back to my eating disorder for the world.
It wasn't all rainbows and ponies though. It was a lot of hard work. It still is a lot of hard work. I still have days when the last thing I want to do is eat but I still do it.
I remember my psychologist asking me when I'm going to start doing. I think about the career and the life I want to have, I remember all the fun times I've had going out with friends to eat and just being normal. Those are the moments that fostered my desire to recover and those are the moments that keep it burning brighter and brighter with each passing day.
Aurora developed anorexia at age 11. After finally being diagnosed at age 16 she was hospitalised many times. Since the 'ah ha' moments written about above Aurora is in strong recovery and living her life to the fullest. She is an Australian from Melbourne who is determined to live life to its fullest. When she's not sailing she's busy studying and working towards her dream of working in the events industry. Aurora continues to share her story, helps raise awareness about eating disorders and helps raise funds for her local eating disorders charity (Eating Disorders Victoria). She wants to share how wonderful recovery can be without glossing over the hard bits. She truly believes that the hard work of recovery is so worth it.

October 14, 2015 | Posted in: Author Interviews
Today's author interview is with the talented Debbie Manber Kupfer, author of P.A.W.S., Argentum, and Paws for Logic. Debbie has also been featured in several anthologies available on Amazon.
Please welcome Debbie Manber Kupfer to XterraWeb ~Books & More~. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did.
Before we get started, we would like to thank Debbie for taking the time to give us this interview.
Visit Amazon to buy P.A.W.S (book 1 in the P.A.W.S. series) or read for free on Kindle Unlimited.
Amor Libris: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: I grew up in London and lived in Israel before I somehow ended up in St. Louis, where I work as a puzzle constructor and writer. I live with my husband, two children, and a very opinionated feline.
Amor Libris: What is your favorite motivational phrase?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: With enough tea and dark chocolate, you can achieve anything!
Amor Libris: What do you like to do when you are not writing?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: I have two hats so to speak. When I'm not writing fiction, I write puzzles for magazines and my blog, Paws 4 Puzzles.
Amor Libris: What books and/or authors have influenced you the most?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: JK Rowling's Harry Potter series (particularly book 3), Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman.
Amor Libris: Are there any new authors who have caught your attention?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: Oh yes, check out Michelle Proulx's Imminent Danger, Misha Burnett's Catskinner series, M.A. Ray's Saga of Menyoral, and Jen Ponce's Devany Miller series. All indies and all superb.
Amor Libris: Can you share the title and blurb of your latest book?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: I recently rereleased the first book in my series, P.A.W.S.
P.A.W.S. is the story of Miri, a young girl who receives a silver cat charm from her omama on the night before she dies. She has no idea that the charm holds a secret, a powerful magic that saved her omama's life, and is about to make Miri's a whole lot more interesting.
Amor Libris: Who is your favorite character from your latest book, and why?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: My favorite character in P.A.W.S. has to be Joey Marks, the animagus Kangaroo. I based this character on my son Joey, and he shares a lot of his traits. Always bouncing, always curious, loves board games, but is also very smart and compassionate.
Amor Libris: Are any of the characters and/or experiences in your books based upon yourself or someone you know?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: Lots—apart from Joey, Miri's Omama is based on my own Omama who I also lost at the age of 10. Like Miri, I also had a best friend called Jenny when I was small who I played with each day, including a game called "Fairies" that we used to play on the stairs in my house. Even though my books are fantasy, many, many of the experiences inside are based on my own life including sadly the bullying sequence towards the beginning of the book.
Amor Libris: Can you share with us about what you are working on now or your next project?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: Well as books 1 and 2 of the P.A.W.S. series are out, I'm now working on book 3 in the series, Maze of Shadows. Without giving too much away, I'll say that Miri gets to visit Israel in this book as she searches for the story behind the mysterious book she picks up in book 2, Argentum.
I'm also working with a talented artist to publish a picture book, Adana the Earth Dragon, that I hope to have out in early 2016.
Amor Libris: Do you have any advice for aspiring authors?
Debbie Manber Kupfer: Try NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). It's really helped me!
Amor Libris: How can we contact you and find out more about you and your books?

None of us will have the chance to see CW's "The Flash" for ourselves until later this year, but comic book writer Mark Waid recently had the chance to view the pilot and share his thoughts.
Why should we care what Waid thinks? Well, he's been writing for "[The Flash](movie:15273)" since 1992, so he's definitely someone the CW wants to impress if they hope to capture the comic book fan base for whom their new show is based on.
As it turns out, Waid decided to lend out some praise for the show, despite some apprehension he had/has over the handling of Barry Allen's mother. He didn't write a formal review, per se, but he did elaborate on what he liked and didn't like about the episode.
Here's what he Tweeted after watching the pilot:
"Not only is the #Flash pilot EXCELLENT, but (for this) the dead-mom retcon doesn't grate. Great show, and Tom Cavanagh is astounding."
You may recall spotting Tom Cavanagh (Scrubs) during the extended trailer as Harrison Wells, a physicist from S.T.A.R. Labs who will be aiding Barry during his heroic journey.
Later, Waid sent out another Tweet at series executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg:
"Seriously, you two. #Flash is really, really good. You made it work. Thanks for remembering he ENJOYS HIS WORK."
Finally, here's what Waid shared with Comicbook.com at Motor City Comic Con after watching the extended trailer:
"You know what? I liked it. I'm not keen on the whole ,'my mother was killed' retcon, because I don't understand why everyone has to have Batman's origin. But, that said, I really like the visuals of it. I like the look of it. I like that he seems to be having fun as a superhero. Because, again, if your superpower is that you can run really fast and make time stop, it would be a blast. I don't want to hear your problems. How you can have that problem and still be upset? 'Oh my diamond shoes are too tight. Oh no!' So I think that's awesome, and I gotta say — I admit I got chills when he said, 'My name is Barry Allen, I'm the fastest man alive.' That gave me chills."
But that's just one opinion. For now, we'll have to wait patiently to find out if the CW really does have what it takes to pull off an honestly good "Flash" series.
Here's the extended trailer, in case you haven't had a chance to see it yet:
Do Waid's comments make you want to see "The Flash?"

Fertility and PAYG pensions in the overlapping generations model
This article analyses how long-run pay-as-you-go public pensions react to a change in fertility in the basic overlapping generations model of neoclassical growth. While it would seem well established both in the academic and political debates that the decline in fertility represents a "demographic time bomb" for the sustainability of public pensions, it is shown that a falling birth rate need not necessarily cause long-run pension benefit to fall.

Horrible experience with Kitchens by Design. They said the washer and dryer were back ordered, then told us they would be in on a certain date. Four messages were left and no response. They finally delivered them a week late, didn't take the old ones and didn't install the new ones. What kind of appliance store doesn't remove the old units and install the new units??? I would never use...
Absolutely fabulous prices, products and the best Service you could imagine. Congrats to Shirley for a wonderful experience.

'She was gone cold' - Family's relief as camogie player Michelle is saved after collapse
The family of a camogie player who was saved after she collapsed during a match has called on the GAA to help fund defibrillators for all sports clubs.
Mother of one Michelle Herbert was playing in the Limerick junior county final for Newcastle West against Tournafulla on Sunday when she suddenly lost consciousness.
A defibrillator owned by Feohanagh Castlemahon GAA Club, where the game was played, was used to resuscitate Ms Herbert, who is in her 30s.
Michelle's husband Jer, who had brought their two-year old son Conor to the match, along with her parents Mary and James, her team manager, and her uncle Tom, a team selector, all looked on in disbelief from the sidelines as Michelle clung to life.
"Her father is the manager of the team. He was standing beside her on the sideline. It was an awful shock," her mother Mary said. "Jer flew into the field to her. She was gone cold at that stage, it was not a nice scene to witness.
"But we have had good news today. We could have been looking at arranging a funeral," she added.
An agri-science teacher at Hazelwood Secondary College, Michelle was later airlifted to University Hospital Limerick where her condition is said to be stable.
Her grateful mother Mary got behind calls from local camogie officials for Croke Park chiefs to provide grants for defibrillators.
"It's so important to have defibrillators in sports clubs. We would add our voice for grant aid to be provided for clubs to buy them," Ms Herbert said.
She thanked all those who came to her daughter's aid, in particular Tournafulla full forward and trained nurse Sarah Jane Joy.
Frank Reidy, GAA Munster Council representative and Secretary of Feohanagh Castlemahon GAA Club, said he would be calling on GAA bosses to help clubs pay for defibrillators.
Bríd Kennedy, secretary of Limerick Camogie, said she would raise the matter with Croke Park representatives. "It is something we definitely need rolled out," she added.
Croke Park could not be reached for comment.

Here's another controversal quote by N.T. Wright. Background: the subject of "the Rightousness of God" or "God's Rightousness" must be seen as God the Judge who judges rightly. Therefore "God's Rightousness" is his own, so to speak…
"it makes no sense whatever to say that the judge imputes, imparts, bequeaths, conveys or otherwise transfers his righteousness to either the plaintiff or the defendant. Rightousness is not an object, a substance or a gas which can be passed across the courtroom." – What Saint Paul Really Said, p.98
I cannot see where the bible says that we have been "imputed" God's rightousness. At least that is not the language which is used. I also don't see anywhere where the bible says that everyone has been "imputed" Adam's sin.
When it comes to God's own Righteousness, he does not pass gas.
