If you are looking for reasonable dental implants cost Palm Beach County, FL, look no further than KA Dental. With years of experience and expertise, the KA Dental team in Royal Palm Beach is ready to serve your needs.
With a team of dedicated dental associates, dental assistants, hygienists, and administrative staff who are all thoroughly trained, we're committed to making your visits to our practice in Royal Palm Beach as easy as possible.
We offer services in general dentistry (preventative, restorative, periodontal therapy, wisdom teeth extractions, X-rays, laser, and emergency dentistry), oral sedation, gum disease, dentures, smile makeover, and braces in addition to our dental implants.
We try to keep dental implants cost Palm Beach County as low as possible because anyone can suffer the unfortunate loss of a tooth, but with the help of our dental implants, we can restore your smile in short order. Not only does an implant appear as though it is a natural tooth, they feel that way too. What makes our services so appealing is that our professional technicians can fix your missing teeth in just a couple of visits.
For those patients who do not want an immediate fix, dentures are a more stable and reliable option. Dentures are removable and allow patients to easily consume food. These dentures do not use any suction or adhesive glue to stay in place, instead we attach the dentures to clips to keep them in the correct position. Moreover, our dentures are natural looking and are durable for everyday activities.
If you decide on our dental implant services, we will have you come in for our placement phase of the process. Here, we will place the implant anchor into the jaw where the tooth used to be. After the implant fuses with the bone tissue in the jaw, the restoration phase can begin.
During the restoration phase, the custom-crafted crown will be fabricated after a mold is created. This restoration will match the color of any remaining natural teeth and will seamlessly align with the rest of your smile. Our hope is that with your new dental implants you can be more confident chewing, speaking, and smiling.
Our team at our office in Royal Palm Beach is excited to meet with you and discuss the possibilities of a dental implant. If you are interested in any of our services, and have questions about dental implants cost Palm Beach, please contact us on our website.

Stuart Lempert's objective was simple—walk a short distance down Wisconsin Avenue to buy a sandwich at Jetties.
Right about at 7770 Wisconsin, he started realizing he was in for some complications.
"Sidewalk Closed. Cross Here," read a sign, with an arrow directing him toward a crosswalk without a stoplight.
As he watched cars whizz along the busy thoroughfare, Lempert ruled against crossing. And seeing open sidewalk ahead of him, he pushed forward. A little further down, he was face-to-face with a fence blocking off the sidewalk around the site of the future Marriott International headquarters, where construction crews recently started installing utility lines. Rather than backtrack, Lempert, like a number of other pedestrians, decided to test his luck by walking unprotected down a lane of Wisconsin Avenue to the Norfolk Avenue intersection to get around the closure.
"I try to be careful, but yeah, it's not the safest street to be walking in," Lempert acknowledged last week.

Walkers around downtown Bethesda say there are no easy answers when it comes to dodging sidewalk closures, especially on main arteries such as Wisconsin Avenue.
"We understand the frustration around sidewalk closures during development, however, safety is a priority," Greg Rooney, vice president of development at the Bernstein Cos., which is working on the Marriott project, said in a prepared statement.
Rooney said the Wisconsin Avenue sidewalk closure along the project site is necessary for plumbing work, which should take about a month to complete.
"We will follow up with the contractor as well as Bethesda Urban Partnership to ensure that the signage is clear and that they are placed in appropriate locations," he said.
Sidewalk closures are nothing new—they've been a perennial pain in the neck and safety concern for many Bethesda pedestrians. But the Marriott project foreshadows a new wave of development heading toward the downtown area that is sure to create more obstacles and frustration for pedestrians.
Currently, pedestrians are facing closures on sidewalks around the former Apex building site on Wisconsin; along Woodmont Avenue near Bethesda Chocolates; on Rugby Avenue; and on Del Ray Avenue.
Adequate signage is one issue on the minds of local pedestrians as they consider the flurry of downtown projects. They're also wondering: Why can't more developers install covered walkways instead of shutting down the sidewalk? Is it safe to reroute pedestrians across Wisconsin Avenue at crosswalks without a stoplight? Shouldn't closures be better coordinated? How can pedestrians plan their route on any given day?
"With multiple construction projects in Bethesda, you never know where you can walk," said Ted Gutman, who is legally blind and walks to the Bethesda Metro daily to get to work. "Obviously, we understand that for certain periods of time, they're going to need to close the site. But developers need to provide residents with notice, and there needs to be some coordination around how pedestrians are able to traverse Bethesda."
Officials say they're trying to limit the inconvenience through careful planning and better information-sharing between the county, which oversees closures along local roadways, and the state, which manages the Maryland routes including Wisconsin Avenue.

Diane Schwartz Jones, the county's permitting services director, said county agencies are developing a "construction activity tool" that could give the public real-time updates on open work permits in the downtown area. Work on the tool is still ongoing, but it could help clue the public in to construction closures, she said. Officials are also thinking of requiring developers to give project updates, potentially supplying additional information for the tool, she said.
Schwartz Jones said she's all in favor of using more covered walkways, or sidewalk sheds, although developers tend to put up resistance because of the cost. Chris Conklin, the county's deputy director for transportation policy, said the sheds don't always offer pedestrians enough protection from falling debris, in which case a complete sidewalk shutdown might be necessary. But he added that the county might start requiring sturdier sidewalk sheds, potentially expanding their use.
However, stronger structures would cost more for the developer, and Conklin said county officials do need to balance the expense with the benefit.
Both the county and the Maryland State Highway Administration work with developers to determine on a case-by-case basis whether sidewalk sheds are a feasible alternative to closures.
"Sheds are not designed to protect pedestrians from falling debris. Because demolition is involved in the Marriott development and safety of all roadway users is MDOT SHA's top concern, it is critical to divert pedestrians away from the work zone," state highway officials wrote in a prepared statement.
Like Lempert, Gutman was thrown off by the closure signs that recently went up at Commerce Lane and Middleton Lane. Because his vision is limited, he tries to avoid crossing Wisconsin Avenue where there isn't a stoplight, so he too walked past the sign and ended up stuck where the fence blocked off the sidewalk. He said he and a group of kids and other pedestrians waited until the coast was clear, then headed down a travel lane of Wisconsin Avenue to circumvent the closure.
Gutman and others say pedestrians should've been alerted to the upcoming blockage before the un-signalized crosswalk, near a safer Wisconsin Avenue intersection.
Council member Roger Berliner said he'd like to see SHA install pedestrian-activated signals at some of these crosswalks, especially as construction heats up and complicates the pedestrian landscape. When asked whether SHA was looking at adding these signals along Wisconsin Avenue, a spokesperson said that for the Marriott project, "pedestrians are being detoured toward safer controlled crossings – such as at the Norfolk Avenue and the Old Georgetown Road signalized crosswalks."

Proper notification has been a key concern for state Del. Marc Korman, who submitted legislation that would've forced developers to provide notice of closures and post signs stating the duration of the blockage and a contact number. Korman said he withdrew the 2016 bill when state transportation officials offered to enact the notice requirement administratively by making it a condition of the closure permit.
When asked if SHA sends an inspector to make sure developers are following the notice requirement, the transportation officials said they do monitor projects for safety and plan compliance but initially stated that "there are no specific requirements from the state that developers post signage."
Asked whether the agency had stopped including the notice requirement in permits, SHA answered that the permits do still include the language.
The county in 2016 passed a law that set up a similar notice requirement for sidewalk closures; county inspectors enforce the mandate. Berliner sponsored the legislation and said he views construction zone safety as a significant piece of the county's Vision Zero effort to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2030.
"It is not OK to take public right-of-way away when we are constructing buildings in our downtown areas, when places like New York City and Chicago do it just fine," Berliner said.
Closures are unavoidable in certain cases, but they should be used as a last resort and have a limited duration, he added.
Lisa McCabe said she and her husband moved to the East Bethesda neighborhood about 15 years ago because she prefers walking to driving. She travels on foot to the Metro station every day and would walk her daughter to Bethesda Elementary if the trip felt safer. The closures are making it tough for all of them to get around, she said.
"This is supposed to be the walkable, livable community. That's what's being touted, and that's why Marriott is coming here," she said. "But it's getting more difficult."

Capcom Shows Resident Evil 4 Remake Gameplay And Shares More Details
Capcom used its showcase to feature the remake of the beloved Resident Evil 4.
The Resident Evil 4 remake was featured during the Capcom Showcase, giving us a deeper look at Capcom's highly anticipated project shortly after it was announced during PlayStation State of Play.
The recent trailer was shown again, alongside some limited gameplay footage. Director Yasuhiro Anpo and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi also appeared to share a few more details. Anpo and Hirabayashi reconfirmed that the game is a "re-imagining" of the 2005 original and that they want to preserve the identity of the original game, but update it with modern flourishes. They want to make sure it retains the "feeling of fear and loneliness" of the original game, while still including thrilling battles.
The game retains the third-person perspective, as expected, and Anpo and Hirabayashi said it will feel familiar to anyone who has played the recent Resident Evil 2 or 3 remakes. In the limited gameplay shown, we saw Leon (who looks closer to how he appeared in the Resident Evil 2 remake than the original Resident Evil 4) walking through dense woods and ducking below various vines. The footage shown did not feature any gunplay.
Resident Evil 4 is the third full remake the series has seen since 2019, with Resident Evil 2 and 3 both getting the treatment already. Thus far, there has been no news on a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake, which is often called the "real" Resident Evil 3, its title more representing its original release as a Dreamcast game than any sort of spin-off status.
Resident Evil 4 releases on March 24, 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam).
The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.

Happy Thanksgiving from Canada, where F&O is based and where many of our readers reside. Canada's thanksgiving has nothing of the glitz and commercialism of America's famous festival a month later. Here it is, perhaps like Canada itself, more moderate, a celebration of feasts and gatherings, rooted in the northerly harvest season. This time Canada is also in the throes of an angry, divisive and lengthy campaign for the federal election on October 19. Most Canadians will feel far more thankful on October 20, when the pain of the election subsides. Watch this week for F&O's Focus on Canada's election.
Today is also known as Columbus Day, commemorating the date Christopher Columbus arrived on American shores and changed the world, forever. Those who still "celebrate" Columbus Day now seem embarrassingly out of touch, oblivious to the horrors visited on the people living in the Americas after his arrival –and to the evidence that the conquerers caught syphilis** in the Americas and carried the disease back to ravage European societies. And while recognition is due to Columbus Day as a historic landmark, can we please junk the myth that Columbus "discovered" the Americas? Many other peoples sailed across that ocean blue, or trekked to it on land bridges, long before Columbus. To mark the day, I re-read a tale I wrote about Vikings in 1991, to find that it remains remarkably fresh. You might like to take a look at it: The Vikings are Coming: A 1,000-year-old Viking journey revisited.

LEAK: Google Considers Prager University, Ben Shaprio 'Nazis' Who Use 'Dog Whistles'
The newest leaked document obtained by Project Veritas reveals that Google considers prominent neoconservative commentator Ben Shapiro and the popular mainstream conservative group Prager University as "Nazis".
Yesterday Project Veritas was censored by Google after it revealed that Google is utilizing algorithmic manipulation to form the public discourse in the United States, and that its main goal is to prevent another "Trump situation" from happening.
Today the undercover news outfit released a new document and article, revealing that Google considers prominent conservatives, including Shapiro and Dennis Prager, both proud Jews, to be Nazis.
Project Veritas reported that the organization "obtained a newly leaked document from Google that appears to show a Google employee and member of Google 'transparency-and-ethics' group calling conservative and libertarian commentators, including Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro, 'nazis.'" They also reveal that this new document came as part of its "Be Brave" campaign, in which it promises to protect the identity of big tech employees who want to become whistle blowers.
According to the email referenced in the leak, one Google employee writes to another "Today it is often 1 or 2 steps to nazis, if we understand that PragerU, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro et al are nazis using the dog whistles you mention in step 1, I can receive these recommendations regardles sof the content of what I'm looking at." The Google employee then laments that they "have recorded thousands of internet users sharing the same experience."
In the email, the Google employee then suggests disabling the "suggestions feature", though it is not clear if it would be removed solely for conservative accounts or if it would be completely removed from the website. Ironically, the employee notes that this would "be a significant step in terms of user trust."
It should be noted that Shapiro has repeatedly sided with big tech over his fellow conservatives during previous bans by mocking those who were banned. Shapiro recently went far as to spread fake news about Alex Jones, likely in an attempt to justify his banned status.
In light of this ever increasing push to censor conservative voices and publications, Big League Politics has taken the step of joining the pro-free speech social media platform Parler, and has partnered with the website to bring high quality, pro-America news to the public.

Would You Like Fries With Your First Amendment
A recent case from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit provides one more example of how social media may or may not fit neatly into traditional legal analysis. And more to the point, can a state regulatory board tell a blogger what he can and can't say?
Steve Cooksey is a blogger who was once rushed to an emergency room on the verge of a diabetic coma. He was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and advised to adopt a low fat, high carbohydrate diet. Cooksey, however, had other ideas, and opted for the "Paleolithic Diet." The Paleolithic Diet features foods high in fat and low in carbs. It is similar to the diet of humans living in the Stone Age. Here is some rare video of the diet in action.
Cooksey achieved remarkable results with his diet, and became an advocate for it. He created a Web site — http://www.diabetes-warrior.net/. He used the site to talk about his lifestyle changes, and included personal meal plans and favorite recipes. He included a disclaimer making it clear that he was not a licensed medical professional and had no formal medical education or any dietary qualifications.
Cooksey's readership swelled (no pun intended) to 2,000 unique visitors. The site included an advice q/a section, with Cooksey responding to readers' questions; a free "mentoring" section, where readers would post stories about their own experiences, to which Cooksey would respond; and a fee-based "Life Coaching" service. In exchange for the fee, Cooksey offered individualized support and advice. The fee entitled subscribers to a set number of monthly interactions.
At some point, after he spoke at a public forum, someone reported Cooksey to North Carolina's State Board of Dietetics/Nutrition. After going back and forth with the Board, Cooksey ultimately took down his fee-based service because in the Board's view that constituted the unlicensed practice of dietetics. The Board also sent Cooksey printouts of his Web site, marking with a red pen those portions that needed to be removed. (Is it hard to use a pen with such a heavy hand? Just wondering). Cooksey brought his site into compliance with the Board's demands, which led the Board to send a letter informing that it was closing its investigation, but reserving the right to monitor the site going forward.
Cooksey apparently, finally had enough with the nice guy routine, and he filed suit in federal district court claiming that the Board's actions violated his First Amendment rights. But the district court, noting that Cooksey had not actually been disciplined by the Board, dismissed the suit, concluding that Cooksey lacked standing to bring the action. In non-legal circles this is known as "no harm/no foul."
But the appellate court disagreed. It noted that the Board's actions caused Cooksey to engage in self-censorship. In the appellate court's view, this constituted a "credible" injury that was neither "imaginary or speculative." It sent the case back to the district court and directed it to decide the case on the merits.
According to Cooksey, he fought the law and he won. And that is sort of true. He certainly won the preliminary battle. But all that means is the court needs to hear his case. The question remains whether a state board can limit the speech of a blogger who is not passing himself off as a licensed expert. It will be interesting to see how it shakes it out. This may come down to a question of whether Cooksey's site is commercial speech or not. If it is, the state is more likely to prevail, because typically protections for commercial speech are less than for non-commercial speech. Commercial speech is speech that "proposes a transaction." The fee-based service may fall into that category, but the rest of the Web site likely will not. We will see.
But I wonder if Cooksey will retain this guy to represent him.

The Beautiful Life
"Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness."
Psalm 29:2 NKJ
Do you lead a beautiful life?
The writer Alan Kreider noted a story about Christians around 150 AD. Their claim was: "Beauty of life causes strangers to join our ranks…we do not talk about great things: we live them"[1].
The idea is that onlookers see a difference in Christians and that the difference is beautiful to behold. A Christian friend remarked to me the other day how she had been given too much change, and that she returned it to the shop assistant. The assistant was astonished, and thanked the Christian profusely. Simple actions show what we believe.
The above passage tells us to "worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness". Holiness is about being set apart, about leading a life that exemplifies following Jesus Christ, and it is a beautiful life.
Don't just talk about great things: live them!
Help me, Father, to reflect on the beauty of holiness and to live a life that returns all the glory to you.
Study by James Henderson

Once upon a time, there lived a crab called Crabby. He was not happy because he had no friends. The other fishes went to school, but Crabby did not go as he didn't have any friends.
In the same ocean, there lived an octopus named Octo. Just like Crabby, Octo also didn't have any friends and didn't go to school. Octo often felt sad as he had no friends.
One day, when Crabby was wandering in the ocean, a large rock fell on him when he was not looking. Crabby got stuck under that rock and cried loudly for help. Octo was swimming nearby and he heard Crabby's voice. He immediately turned to Crabby. He told Crabby "Don't worry, I will save you from this giant rock. I have eight hands – I can easily lift this rock using them".
Octo bravely pushed the rock aside using his strong hands. Crabby came out from under the rock. He said to Octo, "I am really grateful to you for saving me. What is your name?"
"Hi- my name is Octo. What is your name?"
"I am Crabby. Can we be friends?"
Octo replied "Yes of course! I am so happy to meet you, my friend Crabby!"
Octo then told Crabby "I didn't have any friends till now, and that is why I didn't go to school."
Crabby replied "You are my first friend! From tomorrow onwards, we both will go to school together."
After that day Crabby and Octo went together to school. At the school, they met many fishes, turtles, octopuses and crabs. They both made many new friends. They were both happy as they were not lonely anymore.
Crabby told Octo, "Even though we have many friends now, you will always be my best friend."
Octo said, "Thank you Crabby! But please don't get stuck under a rock ever again!"
Both Octo and Crabby laughed heartily on this, hugged each other and
remained best friends forever.

Ally finally decided to release her baby goats!
I walked out to the pasture yesterday to visit the goats. I started my rounds and no Ally goat. I look for her and she is isolated near the fence. She gave me a look and I knew something is going on with her. She delivered 2 buckling and 1 doeling within 45 minutes. We are smitten with these F7 Mini Nubian baby goats. Ally is one of my favorite girls so it's logical right?


text: Rawkus Records has a history of bringing a great sound on its releases. For those with a short memory; this is the label that brought you the likes of Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli, and Mos Def. Even though their roster has completely changed, they still seem to be dedicated to that progressive sound. The album Of gods and girls (Rawkus/Hydef) takes you on a journey with Mr. J Medeiros, a member of the Procussions, and puts you in his worldthe end of which leaves you with the feeling of a time well spent.One of J Medieros strengths is storytelling, and there is no shortage of this on the album. The L.A. based artist finds ways of painting a picture that makes you genuinely feel for the characters he has created, especially on songs of Half A Dream and Constance. He also uses this for Keep Pace, which is a great uplifting song that has a way of keeping your head nodding, and seems to be the brightest spot on the album. Call you is a great serenade to his family, detailing his childhood and the sacrifices his parents made. Medeiros style does well to give you the story through the eyes of God, as well as through the eyes of women, which leads to the album title.If there was one main gripe with the album, it would be the track placement. The worse case of such happens after Keep Pace. The song Money, featuring Pigeon John and DJ Vajra, messes with the pacing and flow that the album was building, even if it isnt a bad song.The album exhibits a rare feel in this day and age. It isnt just lyrics, but its depth, which is reminiscent of the Rawkus of old. Its a respite from the braggadocio style that blankets the airwaves, both commercial and underground. For those who wish to take a break faux gangsterism and enjoy some real music, Of gods and girls is here for you.

Earliest 1840
Latest 1998
(Name to)
57-58 East Cliff
I have just managed to predate this public house from Barry's original research. To a time just after it was built according to the following article found in the Dover Telegraph, dated 15 August 1840.
The census transcript for 1841 give the name of the house as "East Cliff House," with Joseph Mays (age 60) living with his wife Mary (age 65.)
A different brewer supplied from 1859 when it sold for £355. Five a.m. opening was permitted from 1898, which meant that it joined seventeen other pubs enjoying that dubious privilege. Another eighteen were opening at three thirty a.m. With respect to this house that concession was withdrawn the following year. Its close proximity to the sea and cliffs naturally attracted the attention of the smuggling fraternity and in our time, two flint cottages in the rear have been used as a cellar and decorated as a smugglers cave. This only held a beer licence till 1950 when it was granted a "full" license to sell beer and spirits. Some trouble in the past from cliff falls, necessitating the closure in October 1967 but reopening in June 1968, the cliff meanwhile being trimmed to prevent a reoccurrence. In keeping with its contemporaries, a great deal by way of alteration and modernisation achieved over the years, especially since 1975. One of Gardner's which passed to Whitbread. Was serving Fremlins in 1974.
1998 saw the pub close for a short while and when it again opened in April 1999 the name had miraculously changed to the "First and Last." However, there used to be a "First and Last" just two doors away, previously the "Prince Alfred" that closed in about 1976.

One of the very few lamentable aspects from this season has been the dramatic loss of form of our Portuguese winger Nani. The plight of the former Sporting Lisbon winger has been so drastic that it is bordering on unthinkable when we rewind to our last Premier League title in 2010-11.
Inspired rather than hindered by the departure of a fellow outstanding countryman, Nani well and truly emerged as a serious specimen following the world record sale of Cristiano Ronaldo. Stepping out of that profound shadow represented a significant leap forward in Nani's United career and it showed with his quality performances on the pitch. He was scoring screamers, providing countless assists and was threatening to embark on something truly spectacular, he looked the finished article.
How times have changed though. That bristling style, the explosive energy and imaginative creativity of which he had in abundance when he burst onto the English scene in 2007 appears to have gone AWOL.
The cruel indictment of this was plain for all to witness in yesterday's lacklustre showing at Stamford Bridge. As they kindly say in the trade, Nani 'had one'. From the outset, his radar was having a panic attack, a rare foray forward involved Nani but his pass to Chicharito was weak and behind him- the Nani of two years ago would have picked the Mexican out with consummate ease and we would have had a chance to open the scoring. That was the most glaring example of Nani's unfortunate demise. Seemingly, the spontaneity and creativity that made him such an enthralling watch is missing.
This reality is unavoidable but is one we really should not have to entertain, especially after Nani was Portugal's shining light in Euro 2012. He had given himself a decent platform to take his game to the next level and cement his long-term future with United. Instead, we have had to endure the familiar Jekyll and Hyde tale with the Portuguese; something we all hoped had been long eradicated from his game.
From looking disinterested and abject in the opening game at Everton, fluffing a penalty and receiving a bollocking from Ferguson against Galatasaray, being subject to boos from our own supporters against Tottenham, being singled out by Ferguson for costing us the game against Chelsea in the League Cup, reportedly punching team-mate Davide Petrucci, to getting sent off against Real Madrid- Nani's season has entailed and combined the sublime at times, with the cataclysmically disastrous.
In a skittles and beer world, Nani would rediscover that blistering form of 2010-11, the zenith of his United career to date, and his long-term future would be ensured by securing a new contract. It was a huge leap of faith from Ferguson to shun the advances of Russian moneybags Zenit Saint-Petersburg on the summer deadline day. Reportedly Nani was not keen on the move, despite the potential to have even deeper pockets, but Ferguson was also very reluctant to see him go. In the cold light of day, Nani has failed to reward that confidence. If Luciano Spalletti has been watching, he might question his thought-process and wonder why he bothered.
The problem with Nani is he is a tantaliser. He can be sub-par, he can produce magic. What is always the case is he always leaves you wanting more, regardless of the situation. Unfortunately, the 'more' has been in short supply this year for one reason or another.
This season has been a peculiar story as far as our wingers are concerned. We pride ourselves at United of having exciting wingers, who provide ample opportunities and contribute their fair share of goals over the 9 month onslaught. But this season seems to have been a rare exception to this rule of thumb.
It seems as though it is a 'big if' currently, but if Nani could somehow show semblances of his previous self between now and the end of the season, it might give Ferguson something to think about. People, with validation too, have said that Nani has had numerous opportunities to take the bull by the horns and make one of the winger slots his own, especially as this year there is almost an accolade for 'worst winger of the year'.
In his salvation attempt to rehabilitate his dwindling status at Old Trafford, Nani has been confronted with woe and misfortune. When we had Chelsea on the ropes in the original FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford, Nani was terrorising Ashley Cole and was at the forefront of our attacking exuberance which put us in the seemingly commanding position of a 2-0 lead. As half-time approached, Nani went down in a heap and that was that. We lost our way after his departure and surrendered the advantage. In the second leg against Real, he looked a livewire, in the mood and our most dangerous attacking outlet on the counter attack, before 'that' red card. Yesterday's horror show capped the latest triumvirate of unfortunate events and summed up his season in a nutshell. When things were seemingly looking rosier, there is always a thorn of some form.
It is improbable that we will see Nani reach those dizzying heights of 2010-11 again. This second half of the season really is a 'now or never' scenario for the Portuguese. His contract is up in 15 months, and with his continuing inconsistency and remaining uncertainty regarding contract talks, it is growing increasingly likely that the next two months will be the final chapters in Nani's Manchester United career.
Many believe that Nani has now ran out of chances, who would have thought that just two years ago?

Tuma said that he did not know what caused the fire.
Tuma, who commended members of the public for rushing out to help put out the fire, confirmed that no casualty was recorded in the fire incident.

What is COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of chronic diseases, such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis, that block airways and make it difficult to breathe. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, mucus production, chest tightness, frequent respiratory infections, and a chronic cough.
The most common cause of COPD is from long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. While COPD is treatable, a person can experience symptoms getting worse over time. Though with proper treatment and management, most people with COPD can achieve good symptom control and quality of life.
Salt Therapy and COPD
Over the years, salt therapy has been an amazing alternative treatment for those with breathing disorders to help manage their symptoms. For those with COPD/emphysema, inhaling salt could thin mucus in the airways, allowing the person be able to breathe easier and circulate the salt through the lungs to break up excess phlegm.
Our Halogenerator grinds up salt into microscopic pieces, making it easier to inhale and circulate throughout the lungs. Inhaling salt also has antibacterial properties, meaning it may help reduce the amount of frequent respiratory infections someone with COPD may experience.
Some of our clients who use our Salt Cave for helping treat their COPD state that salt therapy has helped improve their symptoms drastically. Our best recommendation for someone who has allergies, asthma, COPD, or any other breathing conditions is to use the Salt Cave one to two times a week to help manage symptoms, depending on the person's condition.
We'd love to help you
Our purpose here at The Orchard is to bring you safe, alternative ways to healing and to support you on your wellness journey. The health benefits of our Salt Cave is something we truly believe in, and we'd love for you to try it out and let us know how it has helped you.

Saturday, 08 June 2013
INU – With the sham election approaching in Iran, senior officials of the Iranian regime's are more than ever expressing their fear of a downturn of their sham election.
Ahmad Khatami, a member of the regime's Guardian Council, said on Friday: "The primary issue for the Islamic establishment is participation, and for the enemy the primary issue is lack of participation… a vote for any of the qualified candidates is actually a vote for the Islamic establishment".
In order to set the stage for widespread cheating, he said: "God willing, you will create an epic and once again leave your enemies unhappy".
This is while he had stated two days ago: "The surveys carried out a few days ago show that more than 70% of the people have announced that they will take part in the election and this number in the days ahead will rise to 80% and 90%" (Fars News Agency, 5 June 2013).
Alam al-Hoda, Ali Khamenei's representative in the city of Mashhad and the Friday prayer leader of that city attempted to provoke the people's religious sentiments to pull some sectors of the society to the ballot boxes.
He ridiculously said: "Anyone who doesn't take part in the election will definitely go to hell… boycotting the election is like leaving Imam Hossein on the night of Ashura… it is those who have no virtue and no religion that don't participate in the election" (Mehr News Agency, 7 June 2013).
IRGC Brigadier Mohammad Reza Naghdi, Commander of the Bassij Force said: "Coming to the ballot boxes means crushing the sanctions, when participation is at its highest level it is a flex of power that will ensure our national security" (Rasa State-run News Agency, 7 June 2013).
Mohammad Kazem Seddiqi, from Khamenei's faction, had previously warned: "The main issue is the election issue, election is a reputation for us, it is like making destiny, the enemies are preparing for us. The key to their victory is to see that the people have weakened from before… the election this time around is more critical than before" (State-run Medias, 1 June 2013).

We are getting ready to record Episode 75 of our NHL podcast "Fer Sure: A 200 Foot Podcast." If you missed the last episode, you can catch up here.
For this special NHL Entry Draft preview episode, we will again be featuring Will from the website Scouching and Dylan Galloway, the head scout for Eastern Canada from Future Considerations.
We're planning on recording with them Sunday afternoon, and we will do our best to answer as many questions as we can. In case you haven't listened to the show before, we may not get to every question asked.
As a reminder, this isn't a discussion post, and if people start answering the questions that other people ask, it can be difficult to fish through them when we're recording. If you are asking a follow up question or something like that, it makes sense, but sometimes in the past, it's turned into long back and forth comment threads.
Look for Episode 75 in your podcast feeds and this website Monday. If you are using a podcast app, you can find both this podcast and WIIM Radio (our podcast devoted to the Red Wings) in the same channel – Winging it in Motown. Also, we are now on Spotify!

Okay, before anyone gets too upset and contact the ACLU, just watch this video below. It's pretty funny and because we all know that computers can't actually be racist.
Co-workers "white" Wanda and "Black" Desi discovered that the face tracking feature in HP's web cam is unable to recognize or track black faces. Which is ironic considering how "racial profiling usually consists of cameras following black people around a store *too* often," as one YouTube commenter writes.
HP has since seen the video and responded:
We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.

Adapting Stephen King's The Body: Looking Back On The Nostalgic Beauty Of 1986's Stand By Me
In 1986, Stephen King's name and face were all over movie advertisements… for Maximum Overdrive. The horror comedy based on the short story "Trucks" marked the author's directorial debut, and the marketing team behind the release worked hard to make that fact known by the public (something King agreed to in exchange for his film getting a big summer release date). The effort wasn't ultimately successful, as the feature notoriously ended up being a flop, but it still marked a big moment demonstrating the writer/filmmaker's pop culture power and presence.
Rob Reiner's Stand By Me is a completely different story entirely. Released only a few weeks after Maximum Overdrive, the film is most definitely a Stephen King adaptation – based on the novella "The Body" from the collection Different Seasons – but that was an aspect not prominently promoted in the run up to its release. This was intended not to confuse audiences about the new movie, the studio not wanting to let King's reputation in the horror genre give people the wrong impression about the coming-of-age tale, and as a result his name is only briefly shown in the trailer, and is featured in small type at the bottom of the poster.
It's a strange irony, as while Maximum Overdrive is now pretty much relegated to cult movie status despite its direct association with the beloved author, Stand By Me is one of the most cherished films of the modern age, and based on what is arguably the most personal story that Stephen King has ever written.
Stand By Me is a gorgeous and timeless work about growing up, able to hit nostalgia buttons for all generations, and it has wonderful origins that tie back to the author's own experiences growing up in Maine. Needless to say, this is a week that I have been highly anticipating since the launch of this Adapting Stephen King column, so let's dive into the film, starting with the history behind "The Body."
What "The Body" Is About
Without being reductive, the core of what "The Body" is about appears in print on page 351 of the hardcover edition of Different Seasons: "I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, did you?" In addition to being a wholly relatable sentiment, it summarizes Stephen King's deeper intent with the novella, as he attempted to grasp and bottle his own experiences as a kid – albeit with a stronger stress on emotional truth than factual truth.
A number of key moments from "The Body" were directly inspired by events in King's own life. When he was in seventh grade, for example, there was a controversy about stolen milk money – though unlike the character Chris Chambers, the young writer was viewed as above suspicion because of his good reputation. Likewise, the trestle run is akin to a rite of passage that he faced when he was in college, and the author had his own terrifying episode involving a pond full of leeches.
Stephen King knew early in his career that he wanted to find a way to capture these stories in fiction (he first completed the manuscript for "The Body" following the completion of his second published novel, Salem's Lot), but he struggled to discover the narrative thread that would tie everything together. As explained in the documentary Walking The Tracks: The Summer Of Stand By Me, he eventually realized that he needed a literal journey for his characters to go on, and came up with the idea of them learning about the location of a dead body.
The ultimate circumstances of this are also rooted in Stephen King's childhood, though they technically don't come from his own personal memories. Instead, as he recounts in his 1981 non-fiction book Danse Macabre, they come from events from his life as remembered by his mother:
The repressed memory of this incident was digested by Stephen King's mind and became the tale of Ray Brower – who is technically the titular character in "The Body."
Written as a kind of fictionalized memoir, the story is told from the perspective of an adult writer named Gordie LaChance reflecting on his time growing up in the late 1950s in the small town of Castle Rock, Maine. Gordie, a blossoming writer who is invisible in the eyes of his family (particularly after the death of his older brother), is closer with his core group of friends than anybody in the world, including the angry, risk-taking Teddy Duchamp; the goofy Vern Tessio; and the troubled peacemaker Chris Chambers.
One day, Vern overhears his brother Billy talking with his friend about coming upon the body of Ray Brower – a peer who has been missing. When Vern relays this, the friends are not only driven by curiosity to see Ray for themselves, but have aspirations of being hailed as heroes for the discovery and interviewed on television. The location is a couple days away on foot, so the quartet embarks down the train tracks, not knowing that the news will eventually get to local teenage tyrant Ace Merrill, who seeks similar glory for the find.
How Rob Reiner's Stand By Me Differs From "The Body"
Being almost exactly the same age as Stephen King (he's only five months older), Rob Reiner discovered a personal connection when reading "The Body," deeply identifying with the characters and story. As one would hope, this resulted in a film adaptation that remains spectacularly faithful to the source material – but at the same time also one that is not without some notable deviations.
Far and away the most significant change is the perspective on who the main subject of the story is. Stephen King writes from the perspective of adult Gordie LaChance (played by Richard Dreyfuss in the film), but "The Body" is really the story of Chris Chambers (River Phoenix): an abused but stalwart preteen who is regularly crushed by how people assume the worst of him, but will never stop fighting against that perception. Alternatively, Rob Reiner's deep feelings about the material were forged through his connection with young Gordie (Wil Wheaton), particularly the boy's strained relationship with his father (Marshall Bell).
The big point where this is reflected in Stand By Me is in its ending – namely the showdown with Ace Merrill (Kiefer Sutherland) and his gang. The events that play out in the movie mostly trace the events as they occur in the novella (save for the fact that it is pouring rain in the text), but the big switch comes in regards to who is holding the gun that ends up scaring Ace off. The live-action version has Gordie telling his foe to "suck [his] fat one" at point blank range, but as originally written it is Chris who threatens the bully with his father's firearm.
Screenwriters Bruce A. Evans and Raynold Gideon also made other changes from "The Body" while scripting Stand By Me, but they are mostly superficial and more a natural extension of the story changing mediums. For example, the film moves the infamous town of Castle Rock from Maine to Oregon… because the film shot in Oregon.
Other elements of "The Body" are clearly cut for pacing reasons. The story about David "Lard-Ass" Hogan (Andy Lindberg) is actually one of two included in the Stephen King novella – the other being a hard-boiled thriller called "Stud City" – but the adaptation opts not to cut away from the main action of the story more than once. Stand By Me also doesn't include what could be called the extended version of the sequence where Gordie gets cold cuts in the deli, as King's version includes a confrontation where the character accuses the owner of putting his thumb on the scale. But that was surely an easy cut, as the scene primarily serves as a means of highlighting the boy's relationship with his deceased brother (John Cusack).
Lastly there is the very end of Stephen King's version, which first includes Ace Merrill and his gang getting revenge on Gordie, and then the narrator as an adult returning to Castle Rock and seeing that Ace has become nothing more than a townie. Stand By Me tightens things up by merely having the boys say their goodbyes, and adult Gordie finish his memoir.
Is It Worthy Of The King?
Stand By Me may not have been advertised specifically as a Stephen King movie, but there is no questioning its spectacular and vital presence in the legacy of his books being brought to the big screen. Ignorant critics have spent decades deriding King's love of genre storytelling, and have dismissed his contributions to literature because of his uncouth penchant for horror, but "The Body" and Rob Reiner's movie are stunning marble pillars that stand against that asinine position. The novella exists as a beautiful statement forever and always proving the author's versatility and the dramatic power in his prose – and the film is, without any reservation, a perfect adaptation.
The performances by Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman (as Teddy), and Jerry O'Connell (as Vern) set the gold standard for child actors, as it is nothing short of miraculous what Rob Reiner was able to do both in casting the young stars and then developing their chemistry together. Both the storytelling and the cinematography are daring for a movie centering on such youthful characters, as the emotions get big, and the camera constantly keeps all four of them in frame as they make their journey – but there is not a single inauthentic moment to be found in the entire feature. Watching them goof around in their treehouse your gut convinces you that these boys have spent their whole lives together; how else could they have such an intimate dynamic?
There is an elegant and natural flow to Stand By Me, which is stunning because there is so much about it that feels episodic as you reflect on the seemingly endless list of iconic moments – from the hair-raising run on the trestle, to the showdown with the ball-chomping Chopper, to Gordie's heartbreaking openness about his relationship with his father. The movie only has an 89 minute run time, but it is so immersive and deeply felt that by the end you feel as though you've spent a whole two days with the characters, and it's an experience you want to have over and over again.
When Rob Reiner first screened Stand By Me for Stephen King, the author was so taken aback by it that he actually rendered speechless and requested to take 30 minutes to himself. When he returned, according to Reiner's commentary on the film's Blu-ray, King told him that it was the best adaptation of his work that he had seen to date.
Those remarkable feelings towards the film have not abated for Stephen King over the years, as he says in 2000's Walking The Tracks documentary,
How To Watch Rob Reiner's Stand By Me
Ideally everyone in the world would be given a copy of Stand By Me to watch when they are growing up, but sadly we don't live in that world, so you'll just have to take advantage of one of the many ways available to watch it. As of the publication of this column, the film isn't currently available on any subscription streaming services, though it is offered for rental and/or purchase digitally from all major online retailers. Those of you who are into collecting physical media should look for the 4K edition that was released in 2019, as you get a beautiful edition of the film, as well as a director's commentary from Rob Reiner, deleted scenes, and the documentary mentioned above.
Looking ahead to next week, Adapting Stephen King will be returning to the Creepshow franchise with a look at Michael Gornick's Creepshow 2 – specifically focusing on the segment of the film based on the short story "The Raft" from the 1985 collection Skeleton Crew. Look for it live on CinemaBlend next Wednesday, and for now you can peruse all previous installments of this column by clicking through the banners below.

Fruit Maker
The future of food printing with multi-material printing and molecular gastronomy
5 February 2019
Fruit-Maker is a conceptual design piece that explores how 3D printing may be utilized by the food industry in the future. Prompted by a brief from Frucor Beverages to revitalize their Fresh-Up brand, Tor Robinson from New Zealand designed a promotional event that would allow customers to design their own fantasy fruit, and see it printed out by a rather unconventional vending machine.
Spherification within 3D printed fruit could emulate the sensation of biting into the juicy flesh
Real fruit contain a variety of textures and flavours in a single complex package, which helps to make the experience of eating fruit so appealing. They are also naturally constructed with a variety of materials, some of which give greater pleasure than others. This complicated arrangement of sensation greatly affects the ultimate experience of the consumer, something that should always be kept in mind when designing experiences that mimic or replace nature.
Current 3D printed foods are generally mono-material, where the ingredients are mixed together, then layered in a consistent paste to achieve a digitally generated form. While this has been quite successful in some instances, the output of varied and appealing foods is narrow. For this design piece Tor Robinson incorporated her previous research on multi-material printing to hypothesize a future where 3D printers could print with multiple edible materials in a single print. With Stratasys' Polyjet 3D printing technology, she was able to demonstrate what 3D printed fruit could be like in the future using inedible but evocative prototypes.
This future 3D printer would integrate this multi-material technology with the equipment needed to 3D print food. She also drew on additional techniques used in molecular gastronomy, where spherification is used to create little bubbles of liquid that burst in your mouth. Used together these technologies would help to synthesize the freshness and natural feeling of fruit consumption that multi-material printing alone could not achieve. Spherification within 3D printed fruit could emulate the sensation of biting into the juicy flesh of an orange or grape.
The work of Tor Robinson was part of the special area "Future FoodStyles" on the occasion of the Living Kitchen of the KoelnMesse from 14.-20. January 2019.
