Dentistry is one of the most challenging fields out there. If you're the type of person to rise to a challenge, however, you might find it to be a fulfilling and rewarding career. Here are just a few tips for becoming the best dentist that you can be.
Put Your Patients First
This might sound obvious, but it's easy to get so wrapped up in the stresses of your dental clinic that you start to de-prioritize your patients. Don't make this mistake! They should always be the first thing on your mind whenever you're thinking about a policy change or an office renovation. Ask yourself if your patients will like it; ask yourself if it will drive them away and make them choose another dentist. If you don't know the answers to these questions, just ask. Send out a patient survey and wait for the results.
Diversify Your Skills
Have you been in the industry for awhile? Are you starting to feel like you're falling into a professional rut? You might be able to bring back some of that old spark if you learn new things. For example, you might look into something like conscious sedation certification for dentists to strengthen your resume and attract a broader clientele. Not only will you feel proud of your new skills, but you'll also be able to use them for new business.
Upgrade Your Equipment
You don't need fancy equipment to be an effective dentist. However, you don't want to fall too much behind the times. If your tools could be used as vintage set pieces in an old-fashioned movie, it's time to splurge on new gear. Your patients will be better served by it, and as a dentist, you'll be better prepared to face all of the challenges presented by modern dentistry.
These are just a few tips for becoming a great dentist. Whether you're a fresh-faced dental student or an old hand at cavities and root canals, it's important that you always strive to be the best version of yourself. Use these suggestions for achieving greatness!

Facebook adds Apple TV & Chromecast support to Web and iOS videosFacebook on Thursday officially rolled out support for streaming videos to an Apple TV or Google Chromecast, making it easier to watch them on bigger screens.
The option is currently available on the Web and through the Facebook iOS app. Android-to-Chromecast support is coming "soon," the social network said said. Facebook often prefers debuting new features on iOS.
Videos can in fact be pushed to any display device that supports either AirPlay or Google Cast. To stream people need to find a video they want to watch and hit the TV symbol in the top right corner, which will open a menu with nearby target devices.
Facebook noted that TV streaming won't interrupt browsing the News Feed on the original device, and that when watching live material, both comments and reactions will appear on top, as usual.
Some people may have already had access to the Cast/AirPlay feature, but it's now accessible to everyone.

Frustrated by the tedious, inefficient limited dilution process? Find out how an IDT-validated, single-clone isolation protocol can accelerate phenotypic characterization of your edited clones.
CRISPR genome editing workflow.
Recent advances in genome engineering technologies based on the CRISPR-Cas9 system enable opportunities for systemic interrogation of gene functions in mammalian cells. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tools can be used to introduce a change at a specific genomic location either to cause a frameshift for loss-of-function studies or to insert an exogenous sequence for gain-of-function studies.
Similar to other nuclease-driven mutagenesis methods that introduce nucleotide change in a site-specific manner, CRISPR-Cas9 editing in tissue culture results in a heterogeneous, polyclonal population in which the editing outcome may differ among individual cells. In some experimental settings, it may be necessary to generate an edited cell line containing a homogeneous genetic background to retain the desired genotype and to facilitate downstream phenotypic characterization.
Multiple approaches have been developed for isolation of monoclonal cell lines, such as single-cell sorting, isolation with cloning cylinders, and limiting dilution [1–3]. Although these methods are well-established and widely used, they all have limitations. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) requires a fluorescent reporter to be co-delivered and expressed, while cloning cylinders are used exclusively for adherent cells.
Limiting dilution requires a highly diluted cell suspension from which single cell-derived clones are isolated and further expanded. Unlike the other 2 approaches, limiting dilution does not require sophisticated instruments, other than standard pipetting tools. However, it is a laborious and time-consuming process with low throughput. This method also cannot be applied to cells that do not propagate from single clones. The probability of obtaining a single cell in an aliquot is of statistical nature, which makes this method inherently inefficient. Thus, while limiting dilution provides the most versatile approach, the experimental procedure requires optimization to increase the chance of successful single clone isolation.
IDT scientists assessed 3 types of limiting-dilution protocols and identified the array dilution method as that which provides the highest success rate combined with ease of use [4]. This method can be used to efficiently isolate a monoclonal cell line from a recently CRISPR-Cas9 engineered cell population, followed by clonal expansion to generate the desired cell line. A detailed, stepwise protocol optimized for adherent cells is provided in the Appendix below.
The first limiting-dilution method was performed using a diluted cell density as low as 0.5 cells per aliquot. This requires transferring 100 µL aliquots of a transfected cell suspension (5 cells/mL in complete growth medium) into each well of a 96-well plate. According to a Poisson distribution, seeding at an average of 0.5 cells/well ensures that at least some wells receive a single cell, while minimizing the likelihood that any well receives more than 1 cell. This method was widely adopted for clonal isolation of hybridomas, but its efficiency in our hands was unexpectedly low, possibly due to relatively low cell viability after transfection.
The second method we tested started with a much higher cell density. As shown in Figure 1, the wells in Column 1 received 100 µL of cell suspension at a density of 1000 cells/mL. Subsequently, 2-fold serial dilutions were made horizontally across the plate. Serial dilution avoids having to pipette very small volumes and is thus commonly used to prepare diluted analytes. The wells receiving the initial inoculum can be used to help focus the microscope when scanning the plate for individual cells, which can be difficult to find. Single clones are expected in Column 11 and adjacent columns. Compared to the low-density seeding method, in which the single clones are randomly distributed across the plate, this method saves the scanning labor by limiting the possible wells of interest to 3–4 columns instead of the entire 96-well plate. We also observed a discernible improvement in efficiency with this serial dilution method.
Figure 1. Plate setup for serial dilution method. Note that a 2-fold serial dilution is performed horizontally across the plate.
The last method [4] provided us with the highest success rate. The initial inoculation occurs in 1 well instead of an entire column (see Figure 2). This allows for a subsequent 2-fold serial dilution: first vertically, then horizontally. In our hands, we retrieved more than 30 single clones out of 3 x 96-well plates. As expected, most of the single clones were found along the diagonal.
Figure 2: Plate setup for array dilution method. Note that a 2-fold serial dilution is performed first vertically, then horizontally.
See the detailed, stepwise array dilution protocol optimized for adherent cells in the Appendix below.
Step 1. Prepare cells before transfection.
Note: HEK-293 cells are cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells are maintained at 37°C in a CO2 incubator at 37°C and passaged every 3 days. Ideally, cells should be at 70–80% confluency at the time of transfection.
Step 2. Deliver Alt-R ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes into HEK-293 cells in a 6-well plate.
A. (Recommended) Perform the transfection in a 6-well plate to ensure sufficient cells are available for subsequent experiments.
B. Incubate the transfected cells at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 48 hr or until cells are 70–80% confluent.
Lipofection is a robust method to deliver CRISPR-Cas9 RNP to HEK-293 cells. Refer to the user guide, Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System: Cationic lipid delivery of CRISPR ribonucleoprotein complex into mammalian cells for the recommended experimental setup and detailed protocol.
Electroporation may be required for some cell types that are refractory to lipid-mediated transfection, or that are susceptible to cytotoxicity from the lipid reagents. Refer to the user guide, Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System: Delivery of ribonucleoprotein complexes into HEK-293 cells using the Amaxa® Nucleofector® System or the user guide, Alt-R CRISPR-Cas9 System: Delivery of ribonucleoprotein complexes into Jurkat T cells using the Neon® Transfection System for the recommended experimental setup and detailed protocol.
Step 3. Resuspend transfected cells to an optimal density.
A. Aspirate the medium and wash cells twice with pre-warmed PBS.
B. Add 500 µL of 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA to each well of the 6-well plate. Incubate the plate at 37°C in a CO2 incubator for 2–5 minutes. Use a microscope to verify that cells detach from the plate.
C. Stop trypsinization by adding 1 mL DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Break up any cell clumps into individual cells by passing cells several times through a serological pipet. Transfer the cell suspension to a sterile 15 mL centrifuge tube.
D. Count cells in the suspension to determine cell density. Dilute the suspension for more accurate counting as necessary.
E. Determine the total number of cells required for your experiment. Further dilute cells in complete growth medium to 2 x 104 cells/mL or the concentration optimal for your cells.
Tip: We recommend 2 x 104 cells/mL as a good starting point. Further titration and optimization may be required for other cell types.
Step 4. Isolate single clones via serial dilution.
A. As shown in Figure 2, add 100 µL of complete culture medium to all wells of a 96-well plate, except well A1 (Figure 2).
B. Add 200 µL of cell suspension with proper cell density to well A1.
Note: For an input concentration of 2 x 104 cells/mL, the total cell number is 4000.
C. Transfer 100 µL of cell suspension from well A1 to B1. Mix by gently pipetting. Repeat the 1:2 dilutions down Column 1 using the same pipet tip (Figure 2, first dilution series).
D. Add 100 µL of complete culture medium to wells A–G in Column 1 to reach a final volume of 200 µL/well. Mix by gently pipetting.
E. Use the same tips to transfer 100 µL of cell suspension across the plate horizontally from Column 1 to Column 2. Mix by gently pipetting. Repeat the 1:2 dilution across the rows using the same pipet tips (Figure 2, second dilution series).
F. Add 100 µL of complete culture media to all wells in Columns 1–11 to bring the final volume of each well to 200 µL.
G. Incubate the plate at 37°C in a CO2 incubator. After 4–5 days, check cell growth and mark wells containing just 1 single colony. Incubation time may vary depending on cell growth rate.
H. Monitor cell growth daily and transfer colonies into larger vessels.
Note: HEK-293 cells are typically ready for subculture within 2 wk after seeding on the 96-well plate.
Tip: Subculture a portion of the cells derived from the single clone into a larger vessel (e.g., 24- or 48-well plate). Transfer the rest of the cells into a new 96-well plate for screening purposes. Depending on the nature of the desired nucleotide change, various methods, such as Sanger sequencing, next generation sequencing, or genotyping via qPCR, can be used for verification of the desired genome editing events.

Curative nutrition
Fast medical service for patients
In addition to service, the number one priority for MED TRUST is to ensure a quick and uncomplicated supply to customers. By serving patients of Viennese and Styrian regional health insurance funds, MED TRUST is taking a significant step towards delivering patients with a better supply of curative nutrition.
Curative nutrition:
There are two different types of curative nutrition:
"Enteral nutrition" refers to special nutrient solutions, which pass through the gastrointestinal tract (Gr. enteron = gut)
"Parenteral nutrition" is used for patients who can no longer consume food through the gastrointestinal tract. The nutrients are then delivered directly to the blood stream by drip.
Enteral nutrition:
Products in the enteral nutrition category are prescribed, non-pharmacy remedies.
Requirements for purchasing curative nutrition:
- A prescription or ordinance note from the hospital or resident doctor
- Approval from the regional health insurance fund
The prescription or ordinance note may provide for up to a month's worth of the curative nutrition and, where possible, any necessary equipment such as transfusion devices etc.
The corresponding ordinance note for patients of the Viennese Regional Health Insurance Fund (Wiener Gebietskrankenkasse) is available for download below:
Ordinance form for tubes and technical equipment
Ordinance form for sip and feed tubes in paediatric care
Ordinance form for sip-feeding
Ordinance form for tube-feeding
After the prescribed curative nutrition products have been approved, they will be sent by MED TRUST to the requested address free of charge.
Prescription fee:
As the enteral nutrition products are medicines, the relevant prescription fee will apply per package. This is currently set at 6.00 EUR and is charged to the patient, unless he/she is exempt. No prescription fee is charged for medical equipment (e.g. transfusion devices).

Embassy of Taiwan/China donates handheld radios to Police Department
Recently the Police Department received a fleet of vehicles outfitted with cameras and other crime fighting equipment from the United States State Department via the Central American Regional Security Initiative (CARSI). Another Belize friendly government has made a donation to complement the recent CARSI donation. This morning the Embassy of Taiwan/China delivered some very expensive hand held radios to the police. News Five's Jose Sanchez reports.
Jose Sanchez, Reporting
Communication is an important aspect of police work and this morning, the Embassy of Taiwan/China donated sixteen very expensive mobile Motorola radios to the police department in the value of sixty thousand dollars.
Elodio Aragon Jr., Assistant Commissioner of Police
"The donation of these sixteen digital radios for the police department will go a long way. As you all know, we recently got a donation of vehicles from the U.S. Embassy and those are presently deployed within the City, within the new zones. These sixteen new radios will greatly assist us when it comes to our patrols on the ground. it will improve our communication system and ensure that all our vehicles and all our foot patrols are best able to communicate with the control room thus giving a better and quick response to the community."
The donation was delivered by Henry Fan, a counselor of the embassy.
Henry Fan, Counselor, Embassy of Republic of China (Taiwan)
"The police department of Belize and Belize itself actually now are facing a tough challenge; it's a very tough time now. And although the society, people have very strict demand to the police department, they have done a very good job and they have worked very hard to try to make Belize a safer place for people to live and children to grow up. So I think as a very staunch and a very long time ally of Belize, we are very honored and very pleased to try to help a little bit in Belize's efforts. So with this donation—sixteen sets of mobile radio to the police department—we hope that we can strengthen the capacity of police when they are working very hard to improve the environment; the safety of Belize people."
"Well ideally, it would be good if each police officer could have a radio. The truth of the matter is that most of our patrols have at least two persons within any given foot patrol—whether it be foot, mobile, bicycle patrol; we have two persons on patrol. Ideally I would say if we could get a few more of these radios—maybe fifty more of these radios—would go a long way to assist us at Eastern Division. And you must bear in mind that Eastern Division does not include the City alone; it includes all the precincts that we have out there including San Pedro, Caye Caulker, Ladyville, Hattieville. So there is always a need for more radios."
Reporting for News Five, Jose Sanchez.

08 February 2019 Author Windhoek Observer
Eight Namibian girls facing drug charges in Brazil say they are wallowing in poverty with no one to turn to after Namibian Consulate officials in Sao Paulo abandoned them at their hour of need.
Spokesperson of the group, Melanie van Niekerk, who was sentenced to six years in a Brazilian prison after she was found in possession of 12.5kgs of cocaine, told the Windhoek Observer on Thursday that Namibian Consulate officials have expressed no desire to help her and at least seven other girls caged in the South American country for drug possession.
Van Niekerk was initially sentenced to a 10-year prison sentence, but had her sentence reduced on appeal.
She told the Windhoek Observer that she was released from prison last May after spending two and half years inside, but she remains on parole and is not allowed to leave the country until 2022.
"I want to go home. I have three kids aged 12, 8 and six. Judges normally release mothers with young kids under 12 early, but the judge working on my case denied my request even after showing her proof that I had young kids," Van Niekerk said.
"I regret getting myself into this situation, but if you are single mother with limited opportunities, you can do anything. If someone offers you an opportunity to carry drugs, you take it, but now I regret it because I left my kids alone," she said.
She claims that someone set her up when she was arrested in 2016 because the authorities knew exactly who she was when she arrived at the airport.
"It was my first time to carry drugs, so when I was told what it was all about, I was scared and didn't want to go through with it."
She said she was so shocked when she was arrested at the airport and tests showed that she was carrying cocaine.
"It was a bad day for me when they tested the substance and said it was cocaine. It was a sad day, and I don't even want to remember it."
Van Niekerk said she had agreed to go to Brazil after she was promised N$30,000 and assured that all would be fine.
"I knew what I came here for, but once I reached here, I asked myself why did I come here and I developed called feet."
She said she was recruited by a Namibian coloured lady who was working with a Nigerian man known only as Peter, who is based in South Africa.
She also claimed that Peter was a well-known man in Brazil.
"When I went to court, everyone said that they knew a guy by the name of Peter because every girl from Namibia arrested for drug possession has mentioned his name."
Advice to other girls
Van Niekerk said although she has plenty of advice to give to other desperate young girls; she would not do it through third papers or newspapers.
"I want to come there and go on NBC TV and give the advice myself," she said.
The president must intervene
She pleaded with the Windhoek Observer to talk to the government and the president so that her and the other girls can receive assistance.
"Our people from the consulate never take time to come see or help us. Consulate officials from the other countries bring food and toiletries for their nationals, but our consulate officials don't. What kind of government do we have?
"Since we are outside prison, how are we supposed to live? It's not easy to get jobs in Brazil, so how are we supposed to survive? Our government officials are staying in hotels, going to the beach in Rio de Jenairo, eating our money, but they don't assist us.
"The other girls in prison were asking us, where are your consulate officials?"
She said prison life in Brazil is very dangerous and a lot of inmates have since died due to a lack of proper medical care.
"Even when you have health problems or when you get sick, they don't take you to hospital. There are so many people that have died in prison here."
Another lady who could only identify herself as Sabina said her case is different from the other girls. She claimed that she was tricked into coming to Brazil by her neighbour with the help of her own husband.
"My situation is different from the other girls who knew what they were coming here to do. My neighbour used to come here and I looked after her child, but one time her baby was sick so I refused to stay with her. She begged me, but I insisted, then she suggested that I come to Brazil to fetch gold for her, so we agreed on that," Sabina claimed.
She said when she was about to leave Brazil for South Africa, she did not even see the bags that she was supposed to carry.
"A taxi just came where I was staying and the bags were already inside the car. While at the airport, I got lost since it is so big, then suddenly I saw two men running towards me and I thought that they wanted to rob me.
"I was surprised that one of them was even speaking Afrikaans and they told me that they were here to help me since they had seen that I was lost.
"They carried my bags and we went inside a room where they opened the bags which had shoes. Inside the shoes that's where they had put the cocaine, but I told them that I didn't know anything about the drugs."
She said she was released after four months in jail, but she cannot leave the country since she is on parole for six years.
"In all the four months that I stayed in prison, I never saw not even a single person from the consulate. Since 2017 when I came out of prison, they never spoke to me until recently when my husband contacted some people in Windhoek. After that, they came and I received my passport, but now I cannot leave Brazil."
She said other consulates were helping their citizens by issuing new passports with different names so that they are able to bypass the security system at the airport.
"Other people are doing it, especially people from South Africa, but our consulate here in Sao Paulo cannot do anything because they say there is no money.
"Our consulate officials want us to stay here and suffer more or end up doing the things that landed us here in the first place. I want to go back home to see my two kids."
Contacted for comment, Namibian Ambassador to Brazil, Samuel Nuuyoma, said he doesn't respond to rumours.
"I don't respond to rumours because I know the facts and what's happening on the ground. Who told you about this and why are you asking me about it if you say the relatives have told you. I will be in Namibia and we can talk about it when I get there. Actually one of the person's relatives is actually on their way here, so I know what's going on," the Ambassador said.

MagicYoYo - Premium Titanium & Stainless Steel Bi-Metal!
MagicYoYo is widely known for their affordable entry-level yo-yos, but with recent projects they have begun moving into more high-end specialty releases. They have a few bi-metals and now they're getting into the serious stuff with their latest release; The Titanium/Stainless Steel bi-metal REX!
The REX was designed in collaboration with professional yo-yo player and designer Yixing Tan. They wanted to create an advanced full-size model for competition and that's exactly what the REX feels like. Utilizing the ideal materials for a bimetal design, the REX is composed of a titanium body and stainless steel rims to ensure a unique weight distribution that is unlike any other yo-yo. It spins with incredible power and stability, yet plays even lighter than expected!
The body is machined with super thin walls ranging from 0.5 to 0.7 mm thick. The thin walls keep center weight down and the stainless steel weight rings, which account for over 50% of the total weight, add plenty of rim weight to maximize stability and spin power. The beautiful curved profile makes the REX comfortable in the hand and very pleasing to the eye. Finished with a simplistic modern engraving the REX has a really premium style that looks just as good as it plays!
REX Specifications:
|57.00 mm / 2.24 inches
|43.30 mm / 1.70 inches
|Gap Width:
|4.50 mm / 0.17 inches
|65.8 grams
|Bearing Size:

Details of UNDERSTANDING WEATHER 01.pdf
|Md5 hash
Activities to help students discover how and why weather plays such an important part of our everyday lives. Includes a section on the importance of vocabulary when reporting weather and how it affects occupations and recreation. Use this unit as motivation for starting a class weather station (See below)
Observing the weather is an endlessly fascinating topic for children and provides countless opportunities for talking, reading, listening, observing and recording. The weather worksheet pdfs below cover main weather features and should be rotated around groups of pupils who take the responsibility of recording and reporting the weather data for one week. Have a special time each day when groups report their observations and recordings to the class.
Establish a classroom weather bulletin board where the daily/weekly/monthly charts can be displayed. Rotate the groups on a weekly basis throughout the year.
The depth to which you take your weather observations will depend on the age and stage of your pupils, eg junior class children may only record the general direction of the wind- north, south, east, west. Middle and senior students may refine incorporating the finer points of the compass.

Ok, I wrote that the next post will be Alfred's Zulus.
But now Massimo came in between and sent the photos of the latest set he made for us.
This is the Austrian Fieldmarshall Radetzky in the campaign of 1848/49 in Italy together with the first figures for his army.
The first set in a range of the first Risorgimento in Italy which can also be used to fight the Hungarians 1849. We wanted to increase the Hungarian range and also start on the big project "Europe 1848-78'. More sets will follow soon.
Here the photos of the first set
We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72. As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog. Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

Roodepoort Deals, Specials & Catalogues
Roodepoort is a prominent city in the Gauteng province of South Africa, which in recent years has become part of the Greater Johannesburg area.
In the 1990s, the city was officially incorporated as part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The city is renowned as something of an 'urban jungle' and as such is a sought-after residential area as well as a hub for commercial prospects. Roodepoort is also one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas (in terms of both size and population) in the country as urban sprawl continues to increase the size of Greater Johannesburg in general.
Roodepoort's Afrikaans name literally translates to 'red valley', and is derived from the colour of the soil in the region. The city's history dates back to the mid-19th century, when Boer settlers began farming and developing the land. In 1884, a prospector by the name of Fred Struben struck gold at the center of what would become the city of Roodepoort, uncovering a vein that he named 'Confidence Reef'. The ensuing gold rush led to a large influx of people to the region, and before long, the Roodepoort farm was developed into a living quarters. While the gold in this particular reef eventually ran out, it was long enough for a permanent settlement to be established.
Over the next few decades, Roodepoort grew steadily, due in no small part to its proximity to Johannesburg and the more profitable gold reefs to be found in the region. It gradually absorbed the neighbouring towns of Florida, Hamburg, and Maraisburg, become one of the largest towns in the area. Roodepoort was also the site of the famous Jameson Raid, a key conflict that took place between British and Boer soldiers in 1895 that would contribute to the start of the Second Boer War.
In 1977, Roodepoort-Maraisburg (as it was then known) was officially granted city status, and the second half of the name was dropped for the sake of simplicity. In modern times, it continues to be a hub of growth and industry, particularly in the areas of mining and manufacturing. Roodepoort is also one of the country's most prominently Afrikaans-speaking districts.
Roodepoort is located on the West Rand, and is situated just east of what is now central Johannesburg. The Magaliesburg mountains can be seen to the west of the region.
Roodepoort is the site of a few of historical and natural landmarks that are of some importance to the region. Arguably the most prominent is the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden (formerly known as the Witwatersrand National Botanical Gardens) that is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Gauteng (if not the country at large). A monument commemorating the Jameson Raid can also be found in the city.
Interesting Statistics
Roodepoort is home to approximately 326,416 people, at a population density of around 2000 per square kilometer.
The majority of the population is Black African, with English being the most commonly spoken first language.

This week's mailbox was basically virtual. I did not receive any physical books, only ebooks. Not that I'm complaining, because I'll be reviewing some pretty awesome ebooks.
In My Mailbox/New Crayons
Hey there!
This is Sara here from The Saturday Network! You got some great books this week. Paper Daughter looks really good! I've never read an e-book, but I might have to try one out. Enjoy all your books!
Btw I'm loving your blog 🙂
Wow some really great titles. I have heard good things about Inside Out and I love the title Daughters of Witching Hill, Paper Daughter also looks intriguing and I love the cover. I will be checking out all three of these. Thanks for sharing.
Great books you got this week. Inside Out looks really good. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
The books you got sound amazing. The cover of Daughters of the Witching Hill by Mary Sharratt is very good! Well, enjoy all the books you got!
A lot of my books this week came from NetGalley too. I usually get my ARCs that way.
I am hoping to read Paper Daughter. Maria Snyder's book looks interesting too. I liked her Glass series. Hope you enjoy your reading!
Here is what's in my mailbox this week.
I love the sound of Paper Daughter and Inside Out. I've never been sure about reading e-books but I guess you must get used to it after a while. Hope you enjoy all those. 🙂
@ Sarah, ebooks aren't too bad, I have an ereader though, so I don't read them on my computer.
@Jan – the books definitely all looked good to me, they are quite the eclectic mix.
@Rebecca – I'm so psyched to read Inside Out!
@Nina – Isn't the cover just eye-catching?

Cool books! I just joined Netgalley earlier today and requested Inside Out too! It looks awesome 🙂
Have fun reading!
Great books this week. I can't wait to see what you think of Inside Out and Paper Daughter. I really want to read both of those. Enjoy!
I read Readicide a while ago and found it thought provoking. I like all of Gallager's books. I am looking forward to reading Inside out when it is finally released. Happy reading!
Happy reading! Mine is at The Crowded Leaf.
Awesome books!
Here's what I got this week: http://bookielaura.blogspot.com/2010/02/in-my-mailbox-2-28-10.html

Gordon's story of endurance sports is one of overcoming personal health challenges. After running 3 marathons in 2012, he was diagnosed with partial complex seizures in 2013. His competing days nearly came to an end. However, since then, he has battled back and passed his previous accomplishments through dietary and spiritual disciplines.
He recently qualified for the 2019 Boston Marathon with a top 10 finish at the Emerald Isle Marathon. Other accomplishments include a top 50 in Charlottesville Marathon (Charlottesville, VA) and Top 20 in Canal Race Half-Marathon (Roanoke Rapids, NC). His eyes are set on some podiums in the coming year, and he can't wait for Fluid to help him get there.

K loves chole. Except when I make it. So, over the years I have refrained from making this tasty side dish for fear that I might make a fool of myself yet again.
So, when amma was home yesterday I watched as she made it. Helped some with the prep and realized it was not all too difficult. So, here is the recipe just in case I forget it later.
Stuff you will need:
2 cups white chick peas soaked overnight
1 big onion – cut into big chunks
4-5 small tomatoes or 3-4 medium ones – cut into big chunks
1 cube ginger – peeled and cut into pieces
4 green chillies
Garlic pods – 3 pods (more depending on taste)
Cashews – 10-12 broken
Poppy seeds 1 tsp – dry roasted and powdered
Cinnamon – 1/2 stick
Cardamom – 4 pods peeled
Bay leaf – 1
Cloves – 2-3
Ghee/Oil – 2 tsp
Jeera (Cumin seeds)/Panch Puran – 1 tsp
Coriander – a handful, washed and cut
How to make it?
Dry roast spices (cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and poppy seeds) and powder them. Crush onions in a food processor and set aside. Crush tomatoes with green chillies and ginger and set aside. Make a fine paste of cashews with water and set aside. Pressure cook the chole with salt and turmeric, drain and set aside.
In a wok, add ghee. One heated add panch puran or jeera and the powdered spices. Once the spices are fried add garlic and fry till brown. Add onion paste and fry well till raw smell goes away. Add tomato paste and cashew paste and mix well and let simmer till oil separates out. Add the drained chole and stir well. Lower heat and let simmer for 10 mins or till done. Garnish with cut coriander. Add a dash of lime if preferred tangier.
Serve with rotis or puri.
Serves four
Special notes:
I prefer to grind onions and tomatoes separately because I believe onions need to be fried longer. I have not tried grinding all together. I feel it might not make much of a difference. Also, instead of roasting and powdering spices, chole masala might do the trick. I do not know as I have not tried. Cashews add a creamy texture and a sweetness that enhances the heat from the chilies.

How can you tell whether someone has truly mastered a skill? What is the measurable indicator that a person really knows how to do something? These questions should be at the heart of every teaching decision . . . and every evaluation we make about the success of an educational program. Yet for many educators, and certainly for most parents, answers to these questions are anything but clear. Most of us have grown up in a "percentage correct world" where 100% correct is the best anyone can do. But is perfect accuracy the definition of mastery? . . . In fact, we see many children and adults who can perform skills and demonstrate knowledge accurately enough – given unlimited time to do so. But the real difference that we see in expert performers is that they behave fluently – both accurately and quickly, without hesitation.

Sentence combining & Marilyn Monroe
I was talking to Katharine about flow and sentence combining today.
Her take on the writing process:
- First combine as many sentences as you can.
- Then go back and un-combine the ones that need uncombining.
This reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's principle for getting ready to go out.
Here's how I remember it.
- Get dressed.
- Stand backwards in front of a full-length mirror.
- Turn around fast, glance at your reflection, and take off the first piece of jewelry that catches your eye, because that's the piece that's too much.
Why it's hard for a memoirist to write non-choppy prose and sound like a normal human being
I mentioned the other day that in trying to revise the dyslexia passage I became convinced I couldn't do it just by rejiggering the sentences.
That was a shock. I thought all choppiness, in all cases, could be fixed via sentence combining and de-combining. Now I'm not so sure.
Is sequencing sentences no longer a writing skill?
In the following questions, the first sentence of a paragraph is given. Your job is to "unscramble" the rest of the paragraph by putting the next five sentences in the correct order.
Get me rewrite
The other night, trying to revise the dyslexia passage, I convinced myself it couldn't be done without adding new content.
I'm sure that's wrong, but I'm finding it much easier to fix the start-stop quality (technical term: choppiness) of the original by changing the content, not just the syntax.
Let's resurrect sentence-based rhetorics
Part of what's distinct about Catherine's and my curriculum is that we're zeroing in on the basic building blocks of writing–phrases, sentences, and paragraphs.

At the very beginning of time the five divisions of the city had as symbols five animals: the Hawk for Porta Sole, the Lion for Porta San Pietro, the Deer for Porta Eburnea, the Bear for Porta Santa Susanna and the Horse for Porta Sant'Angelo.
The usage to archetypal animals confirms the antiquity of the tradition even if, later on in time, the juxtaposition of other kind of symbols brought to the present characterization: the backgrounds are the five primary colours, in conformity with the universal rules of heraldry. During the following centuries, with various vicissitudes, the District territories, that included, a part from the ones inside the urban walls also a wide countryside, were reduced only inside the municipal boundaries.
The rules Perugia 1416 recalls, for the occasion, the ancient District territories following historic testimonies and sources.

6 Ways GitClear Can Improve Your Developer Performance Reviews
As an Engineering Manager, you need to know what your developers are working on. But where to start?
It's hard to remember what a developer was working on last week, let alone 9 months ago. It takes time to leaf through old commits and find specific project details. The prospects are worse still if you hope to correlate past commits to the issue tracker tickets they closed (i.e., to remember the biggest Jiras the developer completed over past year). And it can be difficult to determine the developer's strengths, or measure how much they've improved in a specific area.
GitClear's Performance Review feature shines light into these questions and others. This article will take a quick tour through some of the insights the Performance Review page provides.
1. How is this developer performing overall?
In the past, there hasn't been an easy way to quantify all the complexities of a developer's performance. For example, no one would base a review solely on how many new lines of code a developer has written. Refactoring or removing code can be just as valuable.
That's why we created Line Impact, an intelligent, multifaceted metric that GitClear uses to measure developer performance. If you're new to GitClear, learn more about how Line Impact works and why we focus on a single, reliable metric for measuring developers.
The Line Impact Over Time tool at the top of the Performance Review page gives you an idea of how productive a developer is overall. This graph represents 3 code analysis metrics:
- Line Impact: A relative measure of commit value based on the changes made to the code.
- Days Active: Number of days a developer committed code.
- Velocity: Average Line Impact per day.
Users can select the date range for the performance review ("Last year", "All time", etc.). The graph then compares the current stats to the developer's all-time average.
2. How does this developer compare to others on the team?
Coding is not a competition, but there is value in comparing developers' performances in specific categories to one another. An example from our own team: we were able to identify one of our developers as a consistent top performer in view and style code (HTML, HAML, CSS). Now that we know they have a knack for writing front-end code, we can match them up with this type of work in the future. It's a win–win for the quality of our code and developer productivity.
Enter the Category Comparison and Team Comparison tools. The idea behind Category Comparison is that you first define categories for your code. For example, you could make categories for documentation, tests, models, views and controllers. Then, GitClear compares developers' performance in those categories.
The Team Comparison tool offers a snapshot view of the developer's Line Impact compared to their peers'. You can also filter Team Comparison by Code Category, helping you visualize how a developer compares to others in a specific category.
These comparisons can be a game changer for managers when it comes time to match developers with the projects they are best suited for.
3. What were this developer's biggest projects this year?
It's easy enough to recall that large project that a developer worked on last month, but how about last spring? What were they working on then, and what exactly did those projects entail? Before you spend an hour searching through old Jiras to find out, try the Top Projects tool.
The Top Projects tool shows the projects with the largest Line Impact that the developer worked on each month. You can also connect GitClear to Jira or another issue mapping software, so you can easily see how commits relate to tasks your team is working on.
With Top Projects, our managers went from spending hours finding and reviewing the many projects a developer worked on, to spending a few minutes looking at their top projects consolidated on one page.
4. What other skills does this developer contribute to the team?
Code metrics don't always tell the whole story. Perhaps someone on your team is taking time to mentor junior developers, or putting the extra effort into automating a repetitive task. These are important things to note in performance reviews as well.
With this in mind, we created Badges. Who doesn't like collecting awards?
Badges are a great way to give recognition for the exemplary and varied work done by your team. There are two types: auto-assigned and admin-assigned.
Auto-assigned badges are awarded by GitClear when the developer meets a certain criteria. Some examples:
- Parachute: Directed at least 10% of a month's code toward writing tests
- Linguist: Contributed in more than 5 languages over the month
- Honor Roll: Held the top spot on the leaderboard over 5 straight business days
Managers can also award badges to developers as a way of recognizing achievements, or for going above and beyond the call of duty. Some examples:
- Sage: Mentored a junior dev in a meaningful way
- Timesaver: Automated or toolified a repetitive task
- Swan: Refactored code that used to be ugly
Badges help developers feel recognized, and they give managers an easy way to track extra efforts and milestones throughout the year.
5. How can I gather feedback about this person?
Qualitative feedback from a developer's teammates is an important complement to quantitative data. However, it's easy to lose track of information like that months down the road. It also costs you valuable time to ask everyone on your team what they think about a developer's performance.
Fear not: the Notes tool on the Performance Review page makes it easy for managers to leave feedback about a developer anytime. Perhaps a manager was impressed by the way a developer solved an issue, or there was a specific time the developer stepped up to the plate, and their project manager wants to remember it. You can view all this important feedback in one place, making your next performance review that much easier and helping you remember all the awesome things your team has accomplished.
In case you were wondering, you can choose to hide or share notes with the developer.
6. How can I be sure these measurements are accurate?
All this data would be useless if it wasn't transparent, accurate, and consistent with your business's values. Everyone on your team benefits from knowing what's being measured, how, and why.
That's why we've engineered Line Impact to be fully transparent and customizable for your business's needs. You can fine tune how GitClear calculates your Line Impact scores anytime. Additionally, GitClear displays 5 of the developer's highest scoring commits on their Performance Review page. You can review those commits for accuracy and if necessary, adjust the Line Impact scores to be closer to what you'd expect.
Bonus: Not Just for Managers
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention that the Performance Review page provides great personal value for developers, as well. Developers can view their own Performance Review page, helping them track their progress over time. They can use this page to determine their strengths and weaknesses, gather accomplishments to mention in their next review, and make a compelling case for future projects they'd like to be included on. GitClear's Performance Review feature empowers your whole team – not just managers.
A Page with Lasting Impact
The Performance Review page is one of the most valuable features of GitClear. It saves managers the time and effort of sorting through months of a developer's past work to get an idea of what they have accomplished, and helps you review older projects with the same clarity as recent ones. Managers can use the Code Category comparison to match developers up with the tasks that they are best at, boosting the quality of your product as well as developer productivity.

I write one week before Christmas. Already I have heard it said more than once, Christmas has come too early, you get tired of it, not least the noisy music blasting out over the tannoy in shops and public places heralding the arrival of the new-born king. It is sad to hear it said, we will be glad when it is all over. Christmas is meant to be a time of great cheer. I have a certain sympathy with the point of view that questions the justification for anything resembling the Nativity event. For example, Christmas shopping promotions and bargain hunting aside, what Christmas are we celebrating in those weeks before with our trees and lights and parties, our scurrying around for presents for friends and family hoping we have got the right gift for everyone? How much does Jesus the babe in the manger, the Lord Jesus Christ, feature in it all?
While my mind was centred along those lines, I thought you might appreciate the message on a card that came to us from an American friend: Care deeply, think kindly, act gently. And be at peace in the world, for this is the spirit of Christmas.
On the evening before we broke up at the end of term, there was a tradition in my college for the students to visit each of our tutors to sing a couple of carols for them and to wish them a happy Christmas. The visit concluded with us singing the tutor's favourite. Each of them, with one exception, requested a traditional carol. The one exception always chose one of the Advent hymns that are sometimes not given fair treatment in our acts of worship in the four weeks prior to the big event. The one who did not conform insisted, quite correctly, that he was right in the stance he took – Christmas began at twelve midnight on the 24th December. And he was right!
Be of good cheer …….
Be not afraid; I bring you good news; news of great joy for the whole nation. Today there has been born to you in the city of David a deliverer – the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2: 10-11)
Wishing you all Joy this Christmastide.
