text: Tomorrow is October 1st, time for a new year on the copyright page.. What?????. It would be reasonable to assume that the copyright date on a book matches the calendar year in which a book is published, wouldn’t it? Well, yes. However, this isn’t so. (Nor is this date the same as the release date.) Rather, a convention among publishers is to use the next year’s date in the copyright notice for any book published on or after October 1st.. This practice confuses many authors when first they encounter it but really the answer is simple. Moving books from one warehouse to another (or from printer to warehouse) can take weeks. Add to this the time to deliver a book from warehouse to bookshop – and for a customer to then come in, find and purchase that book – and, before you know it, more than two months have elapsed. Suddenly it’s January and that brand new book now looks like last year’s book.. Perceptions matter – as simple as that.

Lesson: Understanding Copyright Dates
Introduction:
Copyright dates are important for determining the intellectual property rights of a creator. However, there is a common misconception about the meaning of the copyright date on a book. In this lesson, we will learn about the significance of copyright dates, the convention used by publishers, and why perception matters.
Section 1: Understanding Copyright Dates
Topic 1: What is a Copyright Date?
A copyright date is the date when a creator first publishes their work, and it is used to establish the intellectual property rights of the creator.
Topic 2: Why do Publishers Use a Convention for Copyright Dates?
Publishers use a convention for copyright dates because it helps them protect their investment in a book. By using the next year's date in the copyright notice, publishers can ensure that their investment is protected even if the book takes several weeks to move from one warehouse to another or from the printer to the warehouse.
Topic 3: Why does the Perception of a Book Matter?
The perception of a book matters because it affects how people perceive the book. If a book is perceived as last year's book, it may not sell as well as if it were perceived as a new book.
Section 2: Practical Examples
Topic 1: How does the Convention for Copyright Dates Affect Authors?
Authors may be confused when they see a copyright date that is different from the calendar year in which their book was published. However, this convention is used by publishers to protect their investment in a book.
Topic 2: How does the Convention for Copyright Dates Affect Readers?
Readers may also be confused when they see a copyright date that is different from the calendar year in which a book was published. However, this convention is used by publishers to ensure that readers perceive the book as a new book.
Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Topic 1: Should Authors be Concerned about the Convention for Copyright Dates?
Authors should be aware of the convention for copyright dates, but they should not be overly concerned about it. The convention is used by publishers to protect their investment in a book, and it does not affect the intellectual property rights of the author.
Topic 2: Should Readers be Concerned about the Convention for Copyright Dates?
Readers should be aware of the convention for copyright dates, but they should not be overly concerned about it. The convention is used by publishers to ensure that readers perceive the book as a new book, but it does not affect the quality of the book itself.
Conclusion:
Understanding the convention for copyright dates is important for both authors and readers. By learning about the convention, authors can better understand the publishing process, and readers can better appreciate the effort that goes into producing a book. By applying this knowledge to new problems, we can continue to learn and grow in our understanding of the world around us.

Lesson: Introduction to Modular Valves

## Section 1: What are Modular Valves?

Modular valves are a type of hydraulic valve that is designed to simplify the design and construction of hydraulic systems. They are typically used in applications where space is limited or where the need for a quick and easy installation is required. In this lesson, we will explore what modular valves are, how they work, and why they are an important component in many hydraulic systems.

## Section 2: How do Modular Valves Work?

Modular valves are designed to be modular, meaning that they can be easily connected together to form a complete hydraulic system. This is achieved through the use of standardized interfaces, which allow for the stacking of multiple modular valves on top of one another. By stacking the valves in this way, it is possible to create a complex hydraulic circuit without the need for any pipes or tubes.

The modular valves themselves contain a series of internal components, including solenoids, spool valves, and check valves, which work together to control the flow of hydraulic fluid through the system. These components are controlled by an external controller, which sends electrical signals to the valves to open or close them as needed.

## Section 3: Why are Modular Valves Important?

There are several reasons why modular valves are an important component in many hydraulic systems. Firstly, they can help to minimize the installation area and space required for the system, as there is no need for any pipes or tubes. This can be particularly beneficial in applications where space is limited, such as in mobile equipment or machinery.

Secondly, modular valves can help to simplify the design and construction of hydraulic systems, as they eliminate the need for any pipe connections. This can make it easier for non-experts to assemble and maintain the system, as there are fewer components to worry about.

Finally, modular valves can help to reduce costs associated with hydraulic systems, as they can help to eliminate the need for expensive piping and tubing. This can result in significant cost savings over time, particularly in large-scale applications.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

Let's consider a few practical examples of how modular valves might be used in real-world applications.

Example 1: A mobile crane operator needs to control the movement of the crane's boom and winch. By using a modular valve system, the operator can easily control the movement of the boom and winch using a single controller, without the need for any complex piping or tubing.

Example 2: A farmer needs to irrigate their fields using a hydraulic system. By using modular valves, the farmer can quickly and easily assemble a hydraulic system that controls the flow of water to the fields, without the need for any complex plumbing or piping.

Example 3: A factory owner needs to automate the movement of their production line. By using modular valves, the factory owner can quickly and easily create a complex hydraulic circuit that controls the movement of the production line, without the need for any pipes or tubes.

## Section 5: Glossary

- Modular valves: A type of hydraulic valve that is designed to be easily connected together to form a complete hydraulic system.
- Standardized interfaces: A set of rules or standards that define how different components in a system can be connected together.
- Hydraulic circuit: A network of components, such as valves, pumps, and motors, that work together to transmit and control the flow of hydraulic fluid.
- Stack: To arrange multiple modular valves on top of one another.
- Manifold base: A central point where multiple modular valves are bolted together to form a complete hydraulic system.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have explored what modular valves are, how they work, and why they are an important component in many hydraulic systems. We have also considered some practical examples of how modular valves might be used in real-world applications. By understanding the principles behind modular valves, you can apply these skills to new problems and develop more efficient and effective hydraulic systems.

Make Your Own Cardboard Medieval Trebuchet

Do you want to launch a softball 50-60 feet without having to get down and dirty cutting wood, metal, and using power tools? Here’s an easy way to build a fairly sizeable trebuchet out of cardboard and a few other basic materials.

For this project, the components are glued together and assembled with bolts for the axles. A few small pieces of PVC are used to create axle bearings–this could be improved by using skateboard ball bearings instead (side note: it’s crazy that you can now get a single skate bearing for 99 cents). Also, a commenter makes a great point that adding wheels will allow the trebuchet to rock as the counterweight falls, which allows the counterweight to follow a much more efficient linear path and increases the capabilities of the machine.

Hi, I'm Mike. I’m the executive editor of Make: magazine, and host of Discovery channel’s Punkin' Chunkin' and Catch It Keep It, TV shows where I build and explain crazy machines that crush stuff, blow things up, shoot fire, all in the name of science.

I've previously worked at Wired and ReadyMade magazines, writing about how to utilize new technology in our everyday lives.

This site is where I keep a list of instructions for fun projects I've done, am working on, or draw inspiration from. I encourage everyone to get involved — get up and do something!

Lesson: How to Build a Cardboard Medieval Trebuchet

Introduction:
A trebuchet is a medieval siege engine that uses a sling to throw large stones or other projectiles at enemy fortifications. In this lesson, we will learn how to build a cardboard trebuchet using simple materials like cardboard, glue, and PVC pipes. This project is perfect for students who love hands-on activities and want to learn about physics, engineering, and history.

Materials:
- Cardboard
- Glue
- PVC pipes
- Small pieces of PVC for axle bearings
- Softball
- Bolts

Instructions:
1. Draw a design for your trebuchet on a piece of cardboard. You can use a template or come up with your own design. Make sure to include a base, a sling, and a counterweight.
2. Cut out the pieces of cardboard according to your design.
3. Glue the pieces together, making sure they are aligned correctly.
4. Create axle bearings using small pieces of PVC. These will allow the axles to rotate freely.
5. Attach the axles to the base and the counterweight using bolts.
6. Create a sling using a piece of fabric or rope. Attach one end of the sling to the axle that holds the counterweight.
7. Load the softball into the sling and pull back the counterweight until it is tight.
8. Release the counterweight and watch the softball fly through the air.

Theory:
A trebuchet works by using the principles of physics to propel a projectile forward. When the counterweight is released, it falls towards the ground, causing the sling to move forward and launch the softball. The angle of the sling and the mass of the counterweight determine the distance the softball will travel.

Practice:
1. What is the purpose of a trebuchet in medieval times?
Answer: A trebuchet was used to throw large stones or other projectiles at enemy fortifications during a siege.

2. Why do you think the author chose cardboard as the main material for this project?
Answer: Cardboard is lightweight, easy to cut, and relatively cheap. It is also a good choice because it can be easily replaced if damaged.

3. How does the angle of the sling affect the distance the softball will travel?
Answer: The angle of the sling determines the trajectory of the softball. If the angle is too low, the softball will not gain enough height. If the angle is too high, the softball will not travel as far forward. The optimal angle depends on the mass of the counterweight and the velocity at which it is released.

Conclusion:
Building a cardboard trebuchet is a fun and educational project that teaches students about physics, engineering, and history. By understanding the principles behind the trebuchet, students can apply their knowledge to other projects and experiments.

Five would-be assassins and one mastermind have been jailed for attempted murder, following a Chinese court case that revealed the lengths each person involved went to in order to avoid actually doing the deed.

Key points: Businessman Tan Youhui wanted to kill a rival over a business dispute

Businessman Tan Youhui wanted to kill a rival over a business dispute He hired one hitman, but the kill was subcontracted out to multiple other assassins

He hired one hitman, but the kill was subcontracted out to multiple other assassins Instead of killing the target, the fifth hitman made a deal with him

In 2013, businessman Tan Youhui sought the services of a hitman in order to murder a competitor, offering 2 million yuan ($411,883) for the job, according to an official summary of proceedings from the Nanning Intermediate People's Court.

However, that enterprising hitman contracted another hitman to do the job — but at a price about half that of his original commission.

Hitman number two then subcontracted to another hitman, who then subcontracted to a fourth, who then subcontracted to a fifth — but the fifth and final hitman got cold feet.

By the time the contract had been passed on to him, the final asking price was reduced to just 100,000 yuan ($20,600).

Chinese publication Beijing News reported the low price irked the fifth hitman to such an extent, it prompted him to get in touch with the target, Mr Wei, to ask him to fake his own death — a decision that led to the elaborate plot finally unravelling.

On Chinese social media, some users are calling for a prominent Chinese film director to turn the farcical murder plot into a movie, while others are mocking the clumsy subcontracting as "typical Chinese business".

"I can't believe this is real, I thought it was a joke," a user named Feihengronger wrote on Weibo.

In 2016, all six men were acquitted over a lack of evidence, but a successful appeal led to the case being reopened — the proceedings went on for three years, and ended with attempted murder convictions for all involved.

The judges ruled in favour of the prosecution after they appealed against an earlier decision which acquitted all six men. ( Supplied: Nanning Intermediate People's Court )

The Nanning Intermediate People's Court's official website said the catalyst for Tan hatching the plot was two civil lawsuits launched by Mr Wei against him in 2013, regarding a shared property development.

Fearing the impact the cases would have on his investment in the development, the court said Tan procured the services of a hitman to kill Mr Wei shortly after.

After being approached by the final subcontracted hitman, Mr Wei agreed to being photographed, gagged and bound in order to fake his own death, after which the hitman said he would personally report the case to police.

The court held that each of these actions constituted intentional homicide, and sentenced both the mastermind and each of the hitmen to jail terms of various lengths.

Tan will serve five years in jail, and the hitman he hired to do the deed, Xi Guangan, will serve three years and six months.

Hitman two, Mo Tianxiang, will serve three years, while hitmen three and four — Yang Kangsheng and Yang Guansheng — were given the same sentence of three years and three months.

Hitman five, Ling Xiansi, was given the shortest sentence at two years and seven months.

Lesson: The Importance of Clear Communication in Contracts

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of clear communication in contracts. We will explore the story of a businessman who hired a hitman to kill his rival, and how the hitman subcontracted the job to multiple other assassins. We will analyze the consequences of not having clear communication in contracts and how it can lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications.

Section 1: The Story of Tan Youhui
Tan Youhui was a businessman who had a business dispute with one of his rivals. He decided to hire a hitman to kill his rival and offered 2 million yuan ($411,883) for the job.

Section 2: The Hitman's Plan
The hitman, however, had a plan of his own. He contracted another hitman to do the job, but at a price about half that of his original commission. This led to a chain reaction of subcontracting, where each hitman was passing the job to the next one until it reached the fifth hitman.

Section 3: The Consequences of Miscommunication
Instead of killing the target, the fifth hitman made a deal with him. This was because there was no clear communication between the hitmen about their roles and responsibilities. As a result, they ended up miscommunicating and misunderstanding each other's intentions.

Section 4: The Importance of Clear Communication in Contracts
Clear communication is essential in any business transaction. It ensures that all parties involved understand their roles and responsibilities. In this case, if Tan Youhui had clearly communicated his intentions to the hitman, he would not have ended up with a botched murder attempt.

Section 5: Practical Examples
Let's consider a real-life scenario. Suppose you are a construction company that has been hired to build a bridge. If you do not communicate clearly with your subcontractors about the materials to be used, the project timeline, and the budget, you may end up with a bridge that is unsafe, late, and overbudget.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, clear communication in contracts is crucial to ensure that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities. By doing so, we can avoid miscommunications and misunderstandings that can lead to costly mistakes. Remember to always communicate clearly and effectively in your business transactions.

Glossary:
- Contract: A legally binding agreement between two or more parties
- Hitman: A person hired to commit a crime, usually murder
- Subcontract: To assign part of a contract to a subcontractor

Lesson: The Importance of Choosing the Right Chew Toy for Your Dog

Introduction:
Dogs are known for their playful and energetic nature. They need toys to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. However, not all toys are suitable for all dogs. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of choosing the right chew toy for your dog.

Section 1: Understanding Your Dog's Needs

Topic 1: Types of Chew Toys
There are different types of chew toys available in the market. Some are made of rubber, some are made of plastic, and some are made of fabric. It is essential to choose a chew toy that suits your dog's needs and preferences. For example, if your dog loves to chew, then a rubber toy would be perfect. On the other hand, if your dog prefers to cuddle, then a fabric toy would be more suitable.

Topic 2: Size and Material
The size and material of the chew toy are also crucial. A toy that is too small can cause choking hazards, while a toy that is too large may not hold your dog's attention. Similarly, a toy made of a material that your dog is allergic to can cause skin irritation or other health issues. Therefore, it is essential to choose a toy that is the appropriate size and made of a safe material.

Section 2: Benefits of Choosing the Right Chew Toy

Topic 1: Mental Stimulation
Choosing the right chew toy can provide mental stimulation to your dog. A toy that challenges your dog to think and solve problems can help improve their cognitive abilities. This, in turn, can make them smarter and more focused.

Topic 2: Physical Exercise
Chew toys can also provide physical exercise to your dog. A toy that encourages your dog to run, jump, and tug can help them stay active and fit. This, in turn, can improve their overall health and well-being.

Topic 3: Bonding with Your Dog
Playing with your dog can also help strengthen your bond with them. Choosing the right chew toy can make playtime more enjoyable and rewarding for both you and your dog. This, in turn, can help create a stronger connection between you and your pet.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, choosing the right chew toy for your dog is essential. It can provide mental stimulation, physical exercise, and bonding opportunities. By understanding your dog's needs and preferences, you can select a toy that is both fun and safe. Remember to consider the size, material, and type of toy before making a purchase. With the right chew toy, you can ensure that your dog stays entertained and happy.

Glossary:
- Chew toy: A toy designed for dogs to chew on.
- Tough chewing: A game where dogs use their teeth to destroy the toy.
- Tugging: A game where dogs pull on a toy with their mouths.

Self-Debate Discussion:

Topic: How important is it to choose the right chew toy for your dog?

Argument 1: Choosing the right chew toy is very important because it can provide mental stimulation and physical exercise to your dog. A toy that challenges your dog to think and solve problems can help improve their cognitive abilities, while a toy that encourages your dog to run, jump, and tug can help them stay active and fit.

Argument 2: While choosing the right chew toy is important, it may not be the most crucial factor in ensuring your dog's happiness and well-being. Providing a loving and nurturing environment, giving them proper nutrition, and providing adequate exercise are all more essential factors.

Conclusion: Both arguments have merit. While choosing the right chew toy is essential, it should not be the only factor considered when ensuring your dog's happiness and well-being. A balanced approach that considers all aspects of your dog's needs is necessary to ensure they lead a healthy and happy life.

Britain’s civil service is often depicted, in fact and in fiction, as an unchanging monolith. Yet for decades Whitehall has been an arena of repeated and often radical change. Governments of different colours – the Conservatives in 1951 and 1979, Labour in 1964 and 1997 – have come into office suspicious of what they saw as a kind of permanent Whitehall machine, dedicated to maintaining a continuity in policy which politicians are powerless to overthrow. Now, as a result of the 2019 election, Britain has another such government.

Boris Johnson’s government will soon unveil its own plans for public sector reform. In an article on Thursday, the influential Conservative policy adviser Rachel Wolf makes clear that these are not intended to be cosmetic. Instead, Ms Wolf argues that changing Whitehall will be a major and radical focus of the Johnson era. Too much of the early discussion about the possible changes, she warns, has focused on a departmental reshuffle, with the Brexit department closed down, and changes affecting the Home Office, justice and international development.

Important though such changes could be, Ms Wolf sees them as only a fraction of the larger plan crafted by the prime minister’s chief aide, Dominic Cummings. She thinks officials are “woefully unprepared for what is coming”. This larger plan, of which futuristic inklings can be gleaned from Mr Cummings’s personal blog, is focused on modernisation, systems and delivery. Some of its elements could include recruiting more science and technology graduates, making existing civil servants pass exams in data science and systems, and ensuring that officials stay in departments for longer than the current tendency to move on after 18 months.

It would be easy, and to an extent understandable, to react to this radicalism with exasperation. After all, civil service numbers have been cut by a fifth since 2010. For some years, the 18-month merry-go-round between jobs has been one of the few ways to get a pay rise. And while some of the things that Mr Cummings wants to see on data, teams and openness are already established good practice, it is a huge ask to expect such a stretched system to deliver efficiently without substantial new investment.

Yet it would be wrong to write off the government’s plans. First, they have not yet even seen the light of day. They should be read first, then discussed. Second, it is undeniable that the British state could do much better at delivering projects and systems on time, on budget and in a manner that puts the citizen first. Cost overruns, delayed implementation, poor productivity and inefficient delivery systems are not fake news. They are familiar realities. And, third, if the pressures for promotion, among ministers and among civil servants, are not restrained in a sensible way, then the long-term policymaking consequences for society are likely to be harmful.

The Johnson government is entitled to confront these issues. It has promised more GP appointments, train lines and police officers. It is reasonable for it to ensure, as far as possible, that these pledges are fulfilled. In the now very distant event of a Labour government, the same would apply. That does not mean that the government must get a blank cheque. Some of Mr Cummings’ ideas are naively technophile. Others betray a starry-eyed faith in Silicon Valley management theory. The love of disruption responds to a genuine problem of inertia with what could become a destructive fetish. Yet Britain is right to expect a state sector that offers the public a good deal. That requires proper levels of spending. But it requires a lot of other things too.

Lesson: Introduction to Civil Service Reform in Britain

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about the history of civil service reform in Britain, the challenges faced by the government, and the potential impact of these reforms on the public sector. We will also explore the role of policy advisers in shaping the direction of these reforms.

### Section 1: History of Civil Service Reform in Britain
- The British civil service has undergone significant changes over the years, with governments of different political colors implementing reforms to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
- These reforms have been met with skepticism and resistance from within the civil service, leading to a constant struggle between politicians and civil servants over the direction of policy.
- The most recent round of reforms, initiated by Boris Johnson's government, is expected to be radical and far-reaching, with a focus on transforming the culture and structure of the civil service.

### Section 2: Challenges Faced by the Government
- One of the main challenges facing the government in implementing civil service reform is the entrenched bureaucracy, which can be resistant to change and slow to adapt to new policies.
- Another challenge is the need to balance the desire for efficiency and effectiveness with the need to maintain public trust and confidence in the civil service.
- Additionally, there is a risk that reforms could be implemented in a way that disproportionately benefits certain groups or interests, leading to further tension and conflict.

### Section 3: Potential Impact of Civil Service Reform
- The potential impact of civil service reform is significant, with the potential to improve efficiency and effectiveness across the public sector.
- However, there is also a risk that reforms could lead to job losses or a reduction in services, particularly in areas such as healthcare and education.
- Ultimately, the success of civil service reform will depend on the ability of the government to balance competing interests and priorities, while ensuring that the needs of the public are met.

### Glossary
- Civil service: the body of employees in a country's government who are not elected and are responsible for advising and implementing policies.
- Bureaucracy: a system of administration marked by officialism, red tape, and procrastination.
- Reform: to make changes in (something, such as an organization, society, or government) in order to improve it.

### Conclusion
Civil service reform is a complex and challenging process, requiring careful consideration of the interests of all stakeholders. By understanding the history of civil service reform in Britain, the challenges faced by the government, and the potential impact of these reforms, we can better appreciate the importance of this issue and the need for effective and responsible policymaking.

Independent storage of different features of real-world objects in long-term memory.
People can store thousands of real-world objects in visual long-term memory with high precision. But are these objects stored as unitary, bound entities, as often assumed, or as bundles of separable features? We tested this in several experiments. In the first series of studies, participants were instructed to remember specific exemplars of real-world objects presented in a particular state (e.g., open/closed, full/empty, etc.), and then were asked to recognize either which exemplars they had seen (e.g., I saw this coffee mug), or which exemplar-state conjunctions they had seen (e.g., I saw this coffee mug and it was full). Participants had a large number of within-category confusions, for example misremembering which states went with which exemplars, while simultaneously showing strong memory for the features themselves (e.g., which states they had seen, which exemplars they had seen). In a second series of studies, we found further evidence of independence: participants were very good at remembering which exemplars they had seen independently of whether these items were presented in a new or old state, but the same did not occur for features known to be truly holistically represented. Thus, we find through 2 lines of evidence that the features of real-world objects that support exemplar discrimination and state discrimination are not bound, suggesting visual objects are not inherently unitary entities in memory.

Lesson: How to Remember Real-World Objects in Long-Term Memory

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about how to remember real-world objects in long-term memory. We will explore the concept of visual long-term memory and how it works. We will also discuss the different ways in which we can store information about real-world objects and how to retrieve it later.

Section 1: Visual Long-Term Memory
Visual long-term memory is the ability to store and recall images of real-world objects. It allows us to remember details such as color, shape, texture, and size. This type of memory is thought to be limitless, allowing us to store thousands of objects with high precision.

Section 2: Storing Information About Real-World Objects
There are different ways in which we can store information about real-world objects in our long-term memory. One way is to store them as unitary, bound entities. This means that we remember the object as a whole, without breaking it down into its individual features. Another way is to store the features of the object separately. This means that we remember the individual characteristics of the object, such as its color, shape, and size, without remembering the object itself.

Section 3: Retrieving Information From Long-Term Memory
To retrieve information from our long-term memory, we need to use cues to help us remember the details of the real-world object. These cues can include the object's color, shape, texture, and size. We can also use other cues, such as the context in which we saw the object or the name of the object.

Section 4: Examples and Practice
Let's practice remembering real-world objects using the following examples:

Example 1: Remember a red apple.
Answer: I remember seeing a red apple.

Example 2: Remember a blue car.
Answer: I remember seeing a blue car.

Example 3: Remember a yellow banana.
Answer: I remember seeing a yellow banana.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about how to remember real-world objects in long-term memory. We discussed the concept of visual long-term memory and how it works. We also explored different ways in which we can store information about real-world objects and how to retrieve it later. By practicing with examples, we can improve our ability to remember real-world objects in long-term memory.

text: CEREC. Dental crowns are one of most versatile ways to improve your smile. Crowns can hold a bridge in place or can cover a tooth that has been severely damaged or has undergone root canal therapy. However, one of the drawbacks of crowns is that impressions of your teeth need to be sent to a dental lab for the crown to be made. This means you need to wear a temporary crown during that time. However, at Mill Point Dental, we use CEREC technology in Bend, Oregon. After we take digital impressions of your teeth, our dentists, Dr. Chelsea Longlet, Dr. Michael Longlet, and Dr. Eric Alston, can create your custom crown while you wait, eliminating the need for a temporary crown.

Lesson: Introduction to Dental Crowns

**Objective:** To understand the basics of dental crowns and their uses in improving dental health.

**Glossary:**
- Dental crown: A cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or otherwise compromised tooth.
- Dental veneer: A thin layer of material placed over a tooth to improve its appearance.
- Dental inlay: A small restoration that is placed within the biting surface of a tooth.
- Dental onlay: A larger restoration that covers one or more cusps of a tooth.

**Section 1: Introduction**
Dental crowns are a type of dental restoration that can be used to improve the appearance and function of a damaged or compromised tooth. They are typically made of ceramic, porcelain, or resin and are designed to match the color and shape of the surrounding teeth.

**Section 2: Types of Dental Crowns**
There are several types of dental crowns, including:

- All-ceramic crowns: These crowns are made entirely of ceramic material and are designed to look and feel like natural teeth.
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: These crowns consist of a metal base with a porcelain coating that is designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth.
- Resin crowns: These crowns are made of a type of plastic that is designed to be strong and durable.

**Section 3: Uses of Dental Crowns**
Dental crowns can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

- Restoring damaged teeth: Crowns can be used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or other forms of damage.
- Holding a bridge in place: Crowns can be used to anchor a dental bridge, which is a type of dental appliance that is used to replace missing teeth.
- Covering teeth after root canal therapy: Crowns can be used to protect teeth that have undergone root canal therapy and are at risk of fracturing.

**Section 4: Creating Custom Crowns**
In the past, creating a custom crown required multiple visits to the dentist and the use of a temporary crown. However, with the advent of CEREC technology, dentists can now create custom crowns while patients wait. This means that patients no longer need to wear a temporary crown while waiting for their final crown.

**Section 5: Conclusion**
Dental crowns are an important tool in the field of dentistry. They can be used to restore damaged teeth, hold bridges in place, and cover teeth after root canal therapy. With advances in technology like CEREC, creating custom crowns is faster and more convenient than ever before. By understanding the basics of dental crowns and their uses, patients can make informed decisions about their dental care.

Lesson: Introduction to Narrative Theory

## Section 1: What is Narrative Theory?

**Theoretical Concepts:** Narrative theory is an interdisciplinary field that studies the structure, function, and power of narratives. It examines how stories are told, why they are told, and what effects they have on people. Narrative theory draws from various disciplines such as literature, psychology, anthropology, and sociology.

**Practical Examples:** A common example of narrative theory is the study of fairy tales. Researchers analyze the structure and themes of these stories to understand their cultural significance and impact on children's development.

**Real-World Scenarios:** Narrative theory can be applied to various real-world scenarios, such as politics, advertising, and social media. For instance, politicians use narratives to shape public opinion and win elections.

## Section 2: Approaches to Narrative

**Theoretical Concepts:** There are several approaches to narrative, including structuralism, psychoanalysis, and postmodernism. Structuralism focuses on the underlying patterns and structures of narratives, while psychoanalysis examines the unconscious motivations behind storytelling. Postmodernism questions the validity of objective truth and the role of authorship in narratives.

**Practical Examples:** A practical example of different approaches to narrative is the study of a novel. Structuralists might analyze the plot structure and themes, psychoanalysts might explore the characters' unconscious desires, and postmodernists might question the author's intentions and influence on the reader.

**Real-World Scenarios:** Different approaches to narrative can also be applied to real-world scenarios. For example, a structuralist analysis of a movie might reveal its adherence to classic storytelling patterns, while a psychoanalytic approach could uncover unconscious fears and desires in the characters.

## Section 3: Dialogues in Narrative Theory

**Theoretical Concepts:** Dialogues in narrative theory involve debates and conversations between different approaches to narrative. These dialogues can lead to new insights and a deeper understanding of the field.

**Practical Examples:** A practical example of dialogues in narrative theory is the debate between structuralism and postmodernism. Structuralists argue that narratives have universal patterns and structures, while postmodernists contend that narratives are culturally constructed and subjective.

**Real-World Scenarios:** Dialogues in narrative theory can also be applied to real-world scenarios. For instance, a debate between structuralists and postmodernists about the role of media in society could lead to a better understanding of how narratives shape public opinion and behavior.

## Glossary
- Structuralism: An approach to narrative that focuses on the underlying patterns and structures of stories.
- Psychoanalysis: An approach to narrative that examines the unconscious motivations behind storytelling.
- Postmodernism: An approach to narrative that questions the validity of objective truth and the role of authorship in narratives.

## Conclusion
Narrative theory is a diverse and dynamic field that explores the structure, function, and power of stories. By understanding different approaches to narrative and engaging in dialogues, we can deepen our knowledge and apply it to various real-world scenarios.
