Cracked Tooth? We Can Help!
HomeAll Posts...Cracked Tooth? We Can Help!
Have you ever bitten into one of your favorite foods and heard a crack? As you can probably know—or can at least guess—this can be an extremely unpleasant experience. Sadly, many people feel that they can wait to have this problem addressed, but we recommend looking for treatment immediately.
Sometimes a cracked tooth may be caused by a cavity. If this is the case, you'll probably have to cover the weakened tooth with a crown. You see, if you don't care for a cracked tooth, your crack could slowly extend to the root of your tooth. Once this happens, you'll be more vulnerable to infection, sensitivity, and even tooth decay.
However, while visiting a dentist as soon as possible is important, you may need to wait a few days. Luckily, there are a few things you can do at home to alleviate any discomfort while you wait. For instance, you could place gauze on the cracked tooth or apply a cold pack to your cheek to alleviate pain and swelling. You may also consider using dental cement, which you should be able to find at your local drugstore.
When you do visit our dentist, we'll assess the condition of your mouth and offer you any personalized advice you need. Sometimes, for a minor crack, you'll just need to have your tooth smoothed out. At other times, our team will fill the crack with a specialized filling material. More serious breaks may need root canal therapy and will usually be covered by a crown.
If you have cracked or chipped teeth, please don't hesitate to contact [practice_name] at [phone]. Our dentist, Dr. [doctor_name], and our team will examine your tooth and see what damage you may have. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

La trophobiose (du grec trophê = nourriture et de -biose pour symbiose) est une association symbiotique entre deux organismes dont l'un fournit la nourriture à l'autre. Le fournisseur de nourriture de cette association est dénommé trophobionte.

Le terme est également utilisé dans une théorie de la résurgence des ravageurs sur les cultures proposée par Francis Chaboussou. Chaboussou était un chercheur français à l'Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA) qui a publié « Les Plantes malades des pesticides : Bases nouvelles d'une prévention contre maladies et parasites ». Le principe de la théorie trophobiotique de Chaboussou est que l'application de pesticides sur les cultures rend ces cultures plus sensibles aux attaques de ravageurs, et par conséquent induit une plus grande dépendance des plantes aux pesticides.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: Quiet Drama in Philadelphia
"You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to skip out for beer during commercials. Because the revolution will not be televised. . . . The revolution will be live."
–From the 1970 hit song by Gil Scott-Heron
Last week, the city of Philadelphia's school system announced that it expects to close 40 public schools next year, and 64 schools by 2017. The school district expects to lose 40% of its current enrollment, and thousands of experienced, qualified teachers.
But corporate media in other cities made no mention of these massive school closings — nor of those in Chicago, Atlanta, or New York City. Even in the Philadelphia media, the voices of the parents, students and teachers who will suffer were omitted from most accounts.
It's all about balancing the budgets of cities that have lost revenues from the economic downturn. Supposedly, there is simply no money for the luxury of providing an education for the people.
Where will those children find an education? Where will the teachers find work? Almost certainly in an explosion of private sector "charter schools," where the quality of education — from the curriculum to books to the food served at lunch — will be sacrificed to the lowest bidder, and teachers' salaries and benefits will be sacrificed to the profits of the new private owners, who will also eat up many millions of dollars of taxpayer subsidies.
Why does there always seem to be enough money for military expansion, prisons, bank bailouts and tax cuts for the wealthy, but not enough for education—or for jobs, housing, healthcare, or old age pensions? These are not "welfare" but are part of the social contract for which we pay taxes and make social security payments.
In an article reprinted on Truthout on May 10th titled "Why Isn't Closing 40 Philadelphia Public Schools National News?," Bruce Dixon posed this answer:
The city has a lot of poor and black children. Our ruling classes don't want to invest in educating these young people, preferring instead to track into lifetimes of insecure, low-wage labor and/or prison. Our elites don't need a populace educated in critical thinking. So low-cost holding tanks that deliver standardized lessons and tests, via computer if possible, operated by profit-making "educational entrepreneurs" are the way to go.
"Lifetimes of insecure, low-wage labor or prison"—this is very close to the "indentured servitude" that was abolished along with slavery by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1865. The freed slaves are being recaptured by debt, beginning with the debt of school loans, followed by credit card debt, mortgage debt, and healthcare costs.
As was cynically observed in a document called the Hazard Circular, allegedly circulated by British banking interests among their American banking counterparts in July 1862:
[S]lavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the European plan, led by England, is that capital shall control labor by controlling wages. This can be done by controlling the money. The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out of the war, must be used as a means to control the volume of money. . . . It will not do to allow the greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that. [Quoted in Charles Lindburgh, Banking and Currency and the Money Trust (Washington D.C.: National Capital Press, 1913), page 102.]
The quotation may be apocryphal, but it graphically conveys the fate of our burgeoning indentured class. It also suggests the way out: we must recapture the control of our money and banking systems, including the issuance of debt-free money ("greenbacks") by the government.
Meanwhile, in Other Unreported News . . .
That alternative vision was put before a conference in Philadelphia in late April that drew delegates from all over the United States. The theme of the first Public Banking in America conference, held at the Quaker Friends Center on April 28-29th, was that to fix the economy, we first need to take back the "money power"—the power to create currency and credit.
Led by keynote speakers Gar Alperovitz and Hazel Henderson and highlighted in an electric speech by twelve-year-old Victoria Grant, the conference was all about solutions. As summarized by OpEdNews editor Josh Mitteldorf:
There were two visions expressed . . . . The first is the very practical idea that states and cities around America could be rescued from insolvency if they had their own banks, instead of relying on commercial banks to borrow money through bonds. Tax-exempt bond issues supply money to states and municipal governments typically at 5 or 6% interest, while banks these days are able to borrow from the Fed at 1/4% per year.
The second vision is . . . the radically-subversive idea that the system we have for introducing money into the economy is a boon for the banks, but perhaps a major drag on our economy. Perhaps a simple, direct system of money creation by the Treasury Dept instead of the Fed would put an end to cycles of recession, and create a foundation for long-term prosperity.
Banking is a huge leech on our economy. 40% of every dollar we spend on goods and services — 40% of all that we create and all we consume — is siphoned off the top as bank interest in one form or another. (Calculations of Margrit Kennedy) The US Government is in the absurd position of paying interest to a private bank for every dollar that is put into circulation. The Federal Reserve system has privatized the power to create money, which, according to the Constitution, ought to belong to Congress alone. Presently, interest on the national debt costs the Federal government $500 billion in 2011, and (because of structural deficit spending) it is the fastest-growing portion of the Federal budget.
Five hundred billion dollars could be saved annually just by refinancing the federal debt through our own central bank, interest-free. This is not an off-the-wall idea but has actually been done, very successfully. Among other instances, it was done in Canada from 1939 to 1974, as was detailed by the youngest and oldest speakers at the conference, 12-year-old Victoria Grant and former defense minister Paul Hellyer, founder of the Canadian Action Party. Another Canadian at the conference, Toronto Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, has proposed that the Toronto city council could improve its finances by forming its own bank.
The direct solution to the economic crisis, urged by veteran money reformer Bill Still, would be for the federal government to simply create the money it needs, as the American colonists did by printing paper scrip and Abraham Lincoln did by printing greenbacks.
But cities and states don't need to wait for a deadlocked federal Congress to act. As Wong-Tam has proposed for Toronto, they can divest their public revenues from the too-big-to-fail banks and put them in their own publicly-owned banks. These banks could then do what all banks do: leverage capital, backed by deposits, into money in the form of bank credit.
This newly-created bank money would then be available for the use of the local government interest-free (since the government would own the bank and would get the interest back as dividends). Among other possibilities, the money could be used to restore the schools. This would not be an expenditure but an investment, as illustrated by the G.I. Bill, which provided education and low-interest loans for returning servicemen after World War II. Economists have determined that for every 1944 dollar invested in the G.I. Bill, the country received approximately $7 in return, through increased economic productivity, consumer spending, and tax revenues.
Legislation for public banks has now been introduced in 18 U.S. states, on the model of the highly successful Bank of North Dakota (BND). Elaborated on at the Public Banking conference by Ed Sather and Rozanne Junker, the BND is currently the country's only state-owned bank and has been a major factor in allowing the state to escape the recent credit crisis. North Dakota is the only state to boast a significant budget surplus every year since the economic downturn of 2008.
Ellen Brown noted that 40% of banks globally are also publicly-owned. These are largely in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), which also escaped the credit crisis, largely because their public banks did not rely on derivatives and, unlike private banks, lent counter-cyclically to cushion their economies from the downturn.
Conference speaker Samuel Giles proposed that even public universities could set up their own banks, which could then leverage university monies for the university's own use, rather than giving those assets away to Wall Street to be speculated with and lent back at much higher interest rates.
Innovative Solutions for Pennsylvania
Speakers Michael Sauvante and Mike Krauss noted that efforts are underway in several Pennsylvania and Ohio municipalities to create public banks. One possibility is for public banks to take an aggressive role in ending the foreclosure crisis by acquiring abandoned and foreclosed homes by eminent domain. These homes could be added to the asset base of the bank, which could extend credit to restore them and then sell or rent them at reasonable rates.
Krauss noted that Philadelphia already has a strong effort underway to create a "land bank"—a bank to acquire, rehabilitate and create productive uses for the city's more than 40,000 vacant properties—and legislation (HB 1682) has been introduced in the state legislature to enable this effort. But the land bank proposed is not designed to function as a depository bank that leverages funds into credit. Rather, it would simply work with appropriated funds or bond revenue. This is a positive step toward addressing a real need, but it could be enhanced by turning the land bank into a public bank—a chartered bank having the power to create money as credit on its books.
The efforts for developing public banks in Pennsylvania are being led by the Pennsylvania Project, which was a co-sponsor of the Philadelphia conference and is supported in its work by the Public Banking Institute and the Center for State Innovation. The Pennsylvania Project is creating partnerships with other Pennsylvania public policy organizations to introduce legislation for a state Bank of Pennsylvania in 2013, after elections are held and a strong foundation of support has been laid.
Revolution Without Bloodshed or War
We live under a tyranny today that is just as intolerable and unjust as that in 1776, but violent revolution is no longer an option. Our oppressors own the military and the media, and their FEMA camps are waiting for us.
If change is to come, it must be peaceful and legal, beginning with a revolution in the minds and hearts of the people. The message of the Public Banking in America Conference was that we can throw off the yoke of the financial elite by making money and credit a public utility; and the most feasible place to start is at the local level, with publicly-owned banks.
For videos of some of the speakers, see http://www.publicbankinginamerica.org/speakers.htm. More to come. The Victoria Grant video has gone viral, approaching 700,000 hits on various websites.

The FEMA camps are not theory. The Govbizopps site advertised for guards (\"Internment and resettlement specialists\") a couple years ago; then a few months ago advertised for contractors to provide services with 72 hours notice like office trailers, portapotties, and food service; and then a couple months ago advertised for companies that could erect these camps with 72 hours notice. One thing I\'ve noticed though, is the guard ad sounded like it wanted guards for a military prison for soldiers, and I wonder if the military expects a mutiny.

The USA is no longer in control of its own sovereignty, but has been hijacked by an "extremely wealthy elite" who not only control the congress(and the President) but the Pentagon(ie the Military), CIA, the Legal system and of course, The Federal Reserve. Slavery was abolished in the 1800's, so now financial slavery is used to "chain" people in debt.(and to bail out the Banksters who run the Fed).
The American people don't even realise it because the Networks have failed completely to inform Americans of what is being done to them.(9/11 is a prime example, and anyone who doesn't toe the official line, is demonised.)
The USA even puts the interests of Israel before the interests of Americans. As an Australian, I am firmly on the side of the American people, but the USA system is broke, and needs urgent comprehensive "reconstruction", using The Constitution as the blueprint. Good luck.

I think one of the greatest dangers to the people of the USA are the "Networks", whose job it has become, to aneasthetise and distract the general public from finding out the "truth". I know millions of Americans do not believe the official version of 9/11, but many millions seem to accept it unquestioningly. The Architects and Engineers have demolished the NIST report, and who is better placed to know what really happened than Architects and Engineers? If the Networks had any integrity at all they would be demanding an independent report on the 9/11 inside job, but they avoid any discussion, so as not to upset "the advertising dollar"
Citizen Murdoch's Fox Network has set new lows in integrity, but the other Networks are culpable in focusing Americans away from any real investigation. Even the The Three Stooges wouldn't believe the official version of 9/11, but, with the help of the Networks it looks like Bush Cheney and Rumsfeld,(and many others) are going to get away with their time in power.

This is another prime example of a Ron Paul tactic that would work. Regardless of what you think of his policies, one of the departments he wants to shut down is the Education department. I disagree with the author's assessment of private schools. I've been fortunate enough to send my kids to one for a few years, and they teach more and have smaller classes. Our county kindergarten is only 1/2 day of school. They were still learning letters, and at the private school they were already reading in kindergarten.
Look at all the bills you pay that have school tax or some such crap on it, and if the education department is eliminated those taxes are not necessary. This would free up much more cash to pay for private schooling. This country of entrepreneurs can make it work, just as they did before the gov stepped in to do schooling. Capitalism works well, if you remove Federal REserve Banks from the equation. What we see now is not capitalism, Remove the excess taxes from schooling and let the market do it's job, you will see good schools pop up everywhere.
Only educated, smart people would vote for Ron Paul. Americans will have to fight inside their own country and they deserve it. I think we'll win in the long run. But Russian special forces are already here to destroy us from within in Operation Mountain Lion.

Here is another wonderful article by Ellen Brown.
As Ellen said, and the corporate media of course did not mention, the PBI conference, which took place in Philly, focused positively on the various SOLUTIONS TO OUR ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.
To fix the economy, we first need to TAKE BACK THE MONEY POWER"—the power to create currency and credit.
The Federal Reserve has PRIVATIZED THE POWER TO CREATE MONEY, which is constitutionally the job of Congress alone. To solve this problem, we should have the Treasury Department create money instead of the Fed. That would put an end to cycles of recession, and create a foundation for long-term prosperity.
To fix the banking crisis which is pandemic to most states and cities around America, we can rescue the states and cities from insolvency by creating state, county, city, and local banks. We need to create banks for the people, and not rely on commercial banks, and we could borrow money through tax-exempt bonds instead of borrowing money from the banks.
Public banks can help create infrastructure projects, create jobs, help with the foreclosure and mortgage problems, restore our schools, and provide a future in which we could thrive.
WE, the 99% CAN DO THIS.

Have you read the Federal Reserve Act? The authorizing legislation projected a body:

Where we went wrong- Established Federal Reserve Banks owned by private banks, domestic and foreign.
How we can fix it-Establish Federal Reserve Banks owned "by the people,of the people,for the people

Where we went wrong-The elastic currency's quality and quantity can be controlled by private banks using a legalize counterfeit system called Fractional -Reserve Banking.
How we can fix it- End Fractional Reserve Banking making the correctly established Federal Reserve Bank the ONLY supplier of new currency.
… to afford means of rediscounting commercial paper and to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States..
Where we went wrong-Allowing private banks to charge compound interest on the paper they create "out of thin air".
How we can fix it-Private banks will only be allowed to invest, or purchase assets with 100% margin.They will be responsible for all

It is laudable that Ms. Brown shines the light on what is happening to Philadelphia schools and Philadelphia children. The U S media does not comment because the U S media is just as much as a sold-out wipe-out as are the big banks and the U S congress.
Short term solutions are welcome and must be enacted immediately.
I do not really believe that there will ever be real change for the good of our economy until U S industry, real production, is re-established. That is the only way there will be decent jobs for Americans who can then support U S banks. The jobs have been shipped out of America for at least half a century and really much longer, probably since around 1913 when the banksters took over.
Protecting sovereign America and its people may be "isolationist" but I do not care. That is the only way you have decent jobs with benefits and a future for Americans. Our whold trade policies have been bonkers for decades.
I welcome the state and local banks idea, but to be it still involves fractional reserve banking and that is creating money out of nothing. This idea may help us get over and around the dead-end ruinous path we are on right now, so for that reason I welcome it. But to me "sound money" is fully backed money with some commodity, like some precious metal or combination thereof. Money created out of nothing through fractional reserve banking is not sound money.
America needs to get back to caring about sovereign America and sovereign Americans. That's a whole "new" mindset that has mainly been eradicated by the banksters and I do not know if we can ever find that way of thinking ever again.

Incorrect statements like this do not help. It is completely and utterly wrong
Most money put into circulation comes from bank loans. It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the Govt
"Five hundred billion dollars could be saved annually just by refinancing the federal debt through our own central bank, interest-free."
Seriously Ellen needs to start by getting her facts right
The Govt DOES initially finance the deficit (not debt) with close to interest free reserves
But it then drains the money and Fed reserves by issuing bonds for obvious sound economic reasons
And withdrawing $500 BILLION INTEREST INCOME from the US economy (as Govt interest expenses = non Govt interest REVENUE) will smash the economy not help it. Most of this money goes straight to pension funds and other savers
Whose side is Ellen on. She wants to smash savers with no offsetting benefit

BUT,This idea IS the dead- end ruinous path we are on !!
BUT because the Government thru the US Constitution (obligates the payment of all debt) makes that money created "out of thin air
an obligation to be paid ,and FDIC guanantees makes it our debt.
The Solution is we must take the power of creating our currency out of the hands of any other party and give it back to the people.

Reply to Mitteldorf: Replacing the Fed with U.S. Treasury money-creation is going to change the manner of functioning? Whenever I see Fed-bashing, I recognize a person who doesn't know history and who hasn't lived through economic free-fall. You don't even have to be an Economic Historian to know that the latter half of the19th Century was a rollercoaster of one Depression after another: every decade there was one! That was before the Fed. If those guys, the banksters in the "possibly apocryphal" story attributed to Charles Lindbergh had *really* been in as total control of the economy of America as the Brit Bankers suggested, they would have engineered a much smoother (ergo, more profitable for them) economy (that is, how can you make money off an economy that's a rolling bankruptcy?). This is why the Fed was created, and we've all been the better off for it.

We need to go to public corporations, having limited existence based on specific loans (credits), which are loans that are created by " We the People ",as proposed by Bill Still in his book "No More National Debt". Like the "tally sticks" used in England's past, once the loan purpose is concluded, the debt paid, the credit is eliminated from circulation and then new credits are issued for new public corporations, having new purposes. As Bill Still points out, all public corporations must serve the development of commonwealth in an industrial-agricultural republic that Abe Lincoln visualized. I believe in ecology, but we must beware of the banker class manipulating that movement for genocidal purposes. A water infrastructure system needs to be developed to construct desalinization plants on our ocean shores to produce abundant fresh water to restore lake and river levels to higher levels, and replenish water tables underground. In that way we can open up new forests, new agricultural areas, supply existing farmlands with unlimited water, and create indoor , climate controlled agriculture to produce all we need within our own nation. The American system of public credit, as debt- free government money, as in Lincolns greenbacks, would create full employment by making these public corporations, so financed, as Schools of Production and Management, training our people in a Republic of Virtue based on the "labour theory of value" Lincoln talked about in his 1865 speech before the US Senate (shortly before his assassination). In this way a work ethic will be restored based on development of self-management of industry by a thinking people, educated in an all-round way. This can only be done by developing revolutionary Industrial Unions that break with the division of labour, the division of the country-side and the city, and the division between mental and physical labour. To do this the bureaucratic corporate state system of the: military/industrial/banker/casino/government by plutocrats must be uprooted in a deep and powerful revolution of the oppressed working classes. The "revolution" must be based, in my mind, on the "agape concept" found in the Bible. The "Agape Revolution" means that we put God, as Nature as Substance, as the monarch of our minds, and place the concept of seeking justice for others, over our selfishness, center place in our minds. I firmly believe that only taking up the Lincoln ideal of true government "of, by, and for the People", which is the path of liberation from government tyranny of exploiting wealthy classes whose only model of liberation is the sewer of capitalistic depravity and propaganda fueling porn, casino, Wallstreet, mafia, and speculative get rich schemes that produce only glitter and mass moral decay in a culture heading toward fascist war and reactionary class rule. You can not serve both God and Money. You will love the one and hate the other. And money powers will use religion to divide people instead of enlightenment which unites rational science with natural theology. Godspeed to all patriotic masses who take up the agape revolution!

Have you considered that "rolling bankruptcies" are a sure fire way to get property at fire-sale prices which can then be sold for a tidy and risk free profit during recoveries? That is especially true when you hold the means of creating recoveries and depressions. The banking sector in the U.S. in the 19th century was controlled by the plutocracy then just as it is now, just a tiny bit less so. By the way have you ever bothered to check the GDP figures in the 19th century? They were some of the fastest growing years for productivity. The problem then, as now, was legal tender laws which strip away all freedom in monetary matters as well as the flexibility needed for a dynamic system that is necessary for homeostasis. if you are arguing against the system in place then then you are implicitly arguing against the system in place now because they are essentially the same, if not in form then in function.

From 1938 Jacques Lacan poses the human family as an institution[1]. The frantic attempts to reduce it to a biological fact are part of a lost cause aimed at protecting the natural order of the real, particularly in relation to the questions of reproduction and sexuality. The illusion of a so-called natural family has been shattered from the moment that science impacted on nature and the real therein escaped, provoking great disorder in the traditional structures of human experience. It is against the background of these mounting impasses that Jacques-Alain Miller, in 2012, called for an updating of our analytical practice[2].
Technological interventions in human life have thus produced "increasingly numerous and surprising disruptions in the fields of procreation, gender and filiations"[3] placing us "in the presence of a fragmentation of the biogenetic substance of parentage"[4]. Wanting a child, touches on the demand of obtaining a product from the marketplace, made available by the grace of science. Pre-implantation diagnostics opens the door to an unprecedented demographic disequilibrium regarding the choice of sex, or even to the worst temptations of eugenics. The business of conception requires regulation. To the great cultural variety of systems of kinship, as identified by anthropology, is substituted the diversity "of laws which determine the facts of nature proper to specify the relations of parentage"[5]. As psychoanalysts we cannot deny this real outside of nature because "the refusal to accept this fact in the symbolic will return it to us in the real in a much more threatening way"[6].
For Freud the desire for a child comes to the woman as phallic compensation for what she could not obtain from her father. The symbolic equivalence child-phallus thus installs the progeny as a substitute for the lost object of desire. This is the case most open to our interventions, Dr Lacan recalled in his note[7], when the child does not come to saturate the mode of lack by which the desire of the parent is specified. But the hijacking of procreation by technology certainly de-veils more than what nature modestly covered, "the false evidence of the natural bond and the universal of the desire for a child"[8]. What Lacanian psychoanalysis reveals is that desire here comes to dress up a particular want to enjoy [vouloir de jouir], of the child. Even if, in the name of a god-father, the old discourses continue to maintain that one should not touch reproduction, sexuality or the family, these attempts to curb jouissance in this way will not resist the reconfiguration of desire at work in these new forms of unprecedented alliances. Nonetheless, "if psychoanalysis cannot be the instrument of social conservatism […], it cannot subscribe to all the aberrations of desire"[9]. The psychoanalyst supports the necessity of an incarnated desire which is revealed in the particularised care of parenting – a term more fitting to our age than that of mothering – knotted to a human formation operating as a brake on jouissance[10]. This formation is today incarnated in the notion of family more than that of a god-father. It is a residual family, a contraction of all the forms of families invented over the centuries that "highlights the irreducibility of a form of transmission […] implying a relation to a desire that is not anonymous"[11]. Lacan noted almost a century ago that this nuclear family did not depend on forms of kinship but on those of alliance[12]. We will have to explore new forms of alliances in order to detect the impossible which in each case constitutes the symptomatic bedrock. We will also have to explore how the names of father and mother are nowadays being reworked in the world of contracts which knows no limit[13]. "Faced with these very rapid changes in the use of names, psychoanalysis and its discourse on the father and mother is summoned in various capacities"[14], Éric Laurent in turn notes. Parentage is thus found caught in a vertiginous relativism because it is defined as a legal system separate from any historical tradition. This mounting recourse to recognition by the law, there where symbolic recognition is lacking, leads us to a world of standards disjointed from an operator of incarnated desire. Consequently, that which will will keep us to the fore are the usages of the names of parentage specific to each one in constructing themselves as sexuated being. The neologism of parenthood testifies to this mutation: "the unique signifier that comes to replace father and mother, it belongs to the era of disjointed and scattered ones"[15].
Having a child offers the parent "the very object of his existence appearing in the real"[16] which calls hollow the maintenance of a permanent conversation that would ensure the propagation of operators capable of incarnating a desire refraining jouissance.
The question mark in our title interrogates the will [vouloir] at stake in procreation. The emphasis on the desire for family indicates that one never makes a child all alone; that his arrival necessarily inscribes him in the practice of lalangue where he falls. It is from this immersion in language that the parlêtre will retroactively question the place from where it came to be lodged in filiations.
Whether it comes from an egg donation, cryopreservation of gametes, zygotes or embryos, possibly before a change of sex; for others from a gestation, donation of uterus, or from a predictive selection of embryos, or from a simple sexual relationship; the living being that results will always bear the imprint of the sign that saw it born as a speaking body, [the] enigma of its coming into the world, [the] mystery of the union of speech and body[17], "fault of the real that no biotechnological engineering can fill"[18]. It is this mystery that Pipol 10 will work to elucidate, starting from the speech of the analysand which alone will permit an aggiornamento of Family Complexes in the 21st century!

* We should talk to @jaredpar / @dotnet/ldm about whether his proposal for "binary compatibility only" could be used here to avoid having to add new method group. We could also make them extension methods in which case they wouldn't cause ambiguities but only be used for spans. That being said, given that F# and VB wouldn't have the hypothetical feature so we probably would do the extension method for a core type anyway.
* There is another concern about generic instantiations and lack of pay-for-play for methods only used for some `T`s.

This would be the desired API:

```C#
namespace System.Collections.Generic;

public partial class List<T>
{
    public void AddRange(ReadOnlySpan<T> span);
    public void InsertRange(int index, ReadOnlySpan<T> span);
    public void CopyTo(Span<T> span);
}
```

If we go down the extension method route, it would look like this:

```C#
namespace System.Collections.Generic;

public static class CollectionExtensions
{
    public static void AddRange<T>(this List<T> list, ReadOnlySpan<T> source);
    public static void InsertRange<T>(this List<T> list, int index, ReadOnlySpan<T> source);
    public static void CopyTo<T>(this List<T> list, Span<T> destination);
    // We discussed this but decided against this until there is a need.
    // public static bool TryCopyTo<T>(this List<T> list, Span<T> destination);
}
```

We're inclined to approve the extension method shape and simultaneously work with the compiler team to see whether we can use a language feature to avoid using the extension methods.

* Looks good as proposed
    - We discussed offering a single argument one. One argument against it that it might make code harder to read because ignoring the return value for scalars would be wrong. Another argument against it is that the two argument version is more versatile (it can handle passing the same span).

```C#
namespace System.Buffers.Binary;

public static class BinaryPrimitives
{
    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<ushort> source, Span<ushort> destination);
    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<short> source, Span<short> destination);

    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<int> source, Span<int> destination);
    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<ulong> source, Span<ulong> destination);
    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<long> source, Span<long> destination);
    public static void ReverseEndianness(ReadOnlySpan<nuint> source, Span<nuint> destination);

In 1912, Guy Weadick made a deal with the federal government to let First Nations people camp at the Stampede, practice their traditions and speak their language. At the time, they were not legally allowed to leave the reservation or practice their cultures (this was true through the 1950's).
And today, Indian Village celebrated their opening ceremonies. The Elders brought the ashes from the fire last burned at the previouslocation, lit sweetgrass and said a prayer–to symbolize a fire that would never go out.
They spoke of how their families had been coming to Indian Village at Stampede for many generations. That they hoped their grandchildren would be standing there in the decades to come.
Tyrone Sitting Eagle performed a hoop dance. The hoop dance was traditionally part of a young man's warrior training. The hoops are used to portray the animals a warrior might encounter, such as an eagle, a snake or a bear.
The chicken dance is one of the oldest dances. It mimics the morning mating ritual of prairie chickens.
We hope that you get a chance to visit Indian Village in its new location–it's truly a special place. It's peaceful and beautiful. We hope you get a chance to learn and reflect.

The respiratory system brings oxygen from the air to the body and excretes carbon dioxide back into the air. In this chapter an analysis is made of the ways and means by which the Council adjusts to the fluctuating nature of circumstances, getting rid of what has become irrelevant while injecting new working methods and tools into its apparatus.

The Human Rights Council functions
The skeleton is the body part that forms the supporting structure of an organism and the framework that provides support, shape and protection to the organs. By furthering the analogy to a biological anatomy, this chapter aims to analyse the fundamental structure of the Council and its mechanisms. This will consist of a quasi-dissection of the multiple functions of the Council. It will also include a rapid and fragmentary discussion of what the author considers as one of the main weaknesses or deficiencies of the Commission, as this is the body that preceded the Council and built the foundations upon which it was built. The text will also show how some of these weaknesses have been corrected. This will be done against the background of decrypting the multilayered structure of the intergovernmental human rights machinery. The General Assembly Resolution 60/251 spells out the Council's functions and terms of reference. However, being the result of intense and arduous negotiations, the text is rather brief and includes a number of provisions which had to be clarified by the Council in the Institutions Building Package1 and its own practice.
The Human Rights Council governance: the role and functions of the President and his/her Bureau
A human or animal body requires a nervous system to ensure coordination of its main components, send proper signals or instructions, ensure a high-level analysis of the tasks to be performed, some being of a repetitive nature, others being far more sophisticated, and ensure a proper scrutiny of the steps to be taken to keep the body alive and more importantly to ensure that it evolves and reproduces in a proper manner. The nervous system detects environmental changes that impact the body. A Human Rights Council analogy needs to consider the Council governance, namely its President and Bureau, with a view to determine its functions from the most usual and mundane to the most sophisticated and unusual ones. The functions of the Council President and his/her Bureau are usually described succinctly and considered to be quite obvious and limited to issues of a procedural and organizational nature. This is after all what the institutions-building package recalls in its paragraph 1141 and the Council's Rule 10. It is also in line with the practice of most UN intergovernmental bodies as described in Rules 103–107 of the General Assembly Rules of Procedures. However, reality is very far from this formal description.
The Human Rights Council in a nutshell
Study of the human anatomy, quite clearly, starts with an analysis of the body as a whole. It is not possible to conjecture what lies within a body if there is no understanding of the overall body being studied. Insofar as the Human Rights Council is concerned, this will be done succinctly based on an overall description of the Council and its main mechanisms. The aim of this chapter is to offer some general considerations that are necessary to understand their main features. The Human Rights Council (The Council) was established by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly (The Assembly) in its Resolution 60/251 of 15 March 2006 to replace the Commission on Human Rights (The Commission). Its status, which is supposed to be reviewed on a regular basis, is that of a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly.

You can't get enough of our Sleeveless Zip Tech Polo... so we designed a Long Sleeve version that's just as fabulous! Unlike every other plain long sleeve polo, this one has feminine ruched detail on the cuffs of the sleeves -- a personal touch by Owner / Designer Susan Hess. Like Golftini's Sleeveless Zip Tech Polo, this polo will become a staple in your golf wardrobe.


Do we face a crisis in masculine identity? This books claims that's the case. The disintegration of traditional family systems being one reason – but it's not whole story.
Lack of initiation into manhood leaves modern society to a dominance of Boy psychology.
The other factor is patriarchy which is the expression of the immature masculine. What today is called patriarchy is really "puerarcy" (I.e the rule of boys) – like Lord of the flies! An expression of boy psychology and the shadow (crazy) side of mature masculinity. The authors see patriarchy as an attack on both masculinity and femininity in its fullest. Boys fear women and boys fear real men.
So how do we deal with this? In lack of rituals we have to each find our own way to Man psychology and that's the purpose of the book. To help us on our way by showing how to access the mature masculine energies.
📝 For initiation rituals to work there needs to be a death. Effective, transformative initiation slays the ego. This is not the case for our modern initiations (I.e military, criminal gangs).
📝 The Patriarchal male does not welcome full masculine and feminine development. The more beauty, maturity, creativity and generativity we display the more envy, and hate we generate in superiors and peers.
📝 King, Warrior, Magician, Lover being the dominant masculine archetypes. We have all archetypes within us. Like board members we need to make all of them heard.
📝 We can only admire others if we have a sense of our own worthiness.
📝 Kings in the ancient world was often ritually killed when their ability to live out the King archetype began to fail.
📝 If we are not secure enough in our inner structure, we will rely on our performance in the outer world to bolster our self confidence.
By learning about the archetypes and their shadow versions we can assess them in ourself. I have a hard time imagining anyone reading this book without getting an aha- moment for sudden insights, whether it's about yourself or people around you. Loved it!
Archetype are you most aligned with?
What's brewing? New book Arrivals!
Life is suffering. How do we deal with that?! We face it, we bare it. Hell is a bottomless pit and even how fucked up and unfair things are, we still can make it even worse. Let's not do that! What if We get our act together and instead are prepared to face suffering when it comes knocking? That's the better path. And we all know where we fall short.
Peterson puts the responibility of all the world and all of it's suffering on the individual. "If we all lived properly, we will collectively flurish." If we put ourselves in order, maybe we will do the same to the world?
📝 Render the people you care about competent – not protected.
📝 Routine is necessary, the stuff we do everyday needs to be automatized into stable and reliable habits so that they gain reliability and lose complexity.
📝 Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.
📝 "What you aim at determines what you see". Choose your aim carefully!
📝 Don't blame your enemies, capitalism or the leftists. Don't reorganize the state until you have ordered your own experience! Set your house in perfect order before criticizing the world.
When I started reading this book we lay next to our son at bedtime until he had fallen asleep. This was not good. Now he goes to sleep alone after his bedtime story. He is now a more competent and independent being. Me and my wife has more time together in the evening. We are a stronger family now. This is good.
Don't let the title fool you, this is not a cheap self-help book. Not even close. This comes from a man that has been thinking thoroughly. I might not agree with all his conclusions but the least I can do is to follow Rule 9 and "assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't". Loved it!

Akoustis Receives WiFi 6E Design Win for MU-MIMO Gateway
Download as PDF August 25, 2021 7:00am EDT
5.5 GHz and 6.5 GHz XBAW Coexistence Filter Solutions for Carrier-Grade OEM
Production Ramp Expected to Begin in Q4 Calendar 2021
Charlotte, N.C., Aug. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akoustis Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKTS) ("Akoustis" or the "Company"), an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) of patented bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile and other wireless applications, announced today that its patented XBAW® filters are being designed into a new WiFi 6E gateway platform by a carrier-grade WiFi OEM.
The new gateway design will use multiple Akoustis 5.5 GHz and 6.5 GHz XBAW® coexistence filters for a tri-band multi-user, multiple-in-multiple-out (MU-MIMO) gateway product that will be part of carrier installed consumer premise equipment. The 5.5 GHz filter module covers the UNII 1-3 spectrum of the WiFi 6E standard, while the 6.5 GHz filter module covers the entire UNII 5-8 spectrum. The Company expects the customer to enter production of the new gateway in late calendar 2021, with production to ramp in early 2022.
Dave Aichele, EVP of Business Development of Akoustis, stated, "We continue to add new WiFi 6E customers as our industry leading 5.5/6.5 GHz and 5.6/6.6 GHz coexistence filter solutions offer greater selectivity and greater flexibility in terms of spectrum use." Mr. Aichele continued, "Given the robust activity in our WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E filter sales pipeline, we expect to receive multiple new design wins in the coming months."
In April 2020, the FCC announced the approval of 5.9 to 7.1 GHz for unlicensed use, which is the largest spectrum addition since the FCC allocated unlicensed spectrum for WiFi in 1989. The next generation of WiFi that is expected to use these new frequency bands is called WiFi 6E. This approval will create another significant new band, or combination of bands, over the next several years. Since the FCC's April announcement, governments around the world have begun allocating the same or similar spectrum for future WiFi use. As spectrum is scarce, many nations are limited in the amount of new, available unlicensed spectrum above 6 GHz. This is driving great demand for high-performance coexistence filters that allow the use of all available spectrum.
Akoustis is actively delivering volume production of its WiFi 6 tandem filter solutions, shipping multiple 5G small cell XBAW® filter solutions, delivering initial designs of its new 5G mobile filter solutions to multiple customers and is now entering the market with its new WiFi 6E coexistence XBAW® filter solutions.
Given the rapidly growing sales funnel activity as well as ongoing interaction with customers regarding expected ramps in both 5G mobile and WiFi 6E in calendar 2022, the Company plans to increase the annual production capacity at its New York fab by the end of calendar 2021 to approximately 500 million filters per year.
Akoustis currently has 15 commercial XBAW filters in its product catalog, and recently introduced 5.6 GHz and 6.6 GHz WiFi 6E coexistence filter modules, which when qualified, will bring the number of catalog products to 17. Current product catalog filters include a 5.6 GHz WiFi filter, a 5.2 GHz WiFi filter, a 5.5 GHz WiFi-6E filter, a 6.5 GHz WiFi 6E filter, three small cell 5G network infrastructure filters including two Band n77 filters and one Band n79 filter, a 3.8 GHz filter and five S-Band filters for defense phased-array radar applications, a 3.6 GHz filter for the CBRS 5G infrastructure market and a C-Band filter for the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) market. The Company is also developing several new filters for the sub-7 GHz bands targeting 5G mobile device, network infrastructure, WiFi CPE and defense markets.

50 years on from the first airing of the original Supermarionation production of Thunderbirds in September 1965, Haynes is this month launching the Thunderbirds Agents' Technical Manual 50th Anniversary Edition.
This inventive, informative and entertaining guide to the world's foremost rescue organization provides the ultimate insight into the secrets of the fabulous International Rescue team, including in-depth examinations of the Thunderbirds craft, as well as other incredible 21st Century vehicles.
The 50th Anniversary Edition, published in paperback, has been updated to include an additional 16-page section which features detailed illustrations and photographs of 'guest' vehicles from the original TV series – those that were involved in rescues carried out by International Rescue.
Set to be a hit with the most avid of Thunderbirds fans, the manual has been presented as if it were to be used by International Rescue field agents, complete with an introduction by Jeff Tracy and operational procedures for agents' missions.
The manual has also been revised to feature seven brand new cutaways of vehicles featured in rescue missions, supported by additional detailed diagrams, colour illustrations and photographs.
The Haynes Thunderbirds Agents' Technical Manual 50th Anniversary Edition. is a joint collaboration between Sam Denham, an authority on the work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, and Graham Bleathman, one of the country's foremost illustrators of Gerry Anderson's television series including Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and Thunderbirds. It will be of huge appeal to fans of nostalgic TV, science fiction, technical hardware and the amazing futuristic worlds produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
The manual also features illustrations by original Thunderbirds series designer Mike Trim, and computer generated visuals created by young artist Chris Thompson, bringing together the original Thunderbirds creative team and new talent inspired by their enduring work.
Talking about the manual, collaborators Graham and Sam commented: "It's incredible that 50 years on, Thunderbirds has still has such a huge following of all ages, and we have had great fun illustrating and writing about the vehicles from the TV series.
Graham Bleathman and Sam Denham are available for further comment and media interview.
Graham Bleathman is renowned and respected for his cutaway drawings of the Thunderbirds vehicles and, and no one knows more about the inner workings of these and the other craft and installations created for Gerry Anderson's productions. His recent work also includes Haynes manuals based on Wallace and Gromit and Dan Dare.
