How Do You Boost Employee Performance?
06 Sep How Do You Boost Employee Performance?
As business owners, we're almost wired to assume that more money, a more prestigious title, or even more praise are enough for an employee to want to perform at their best. However, the reality is, there are often many more factors at play that can explain their lack of performance and what you should do about it.
Can they do the job that you want them to do? Oftentimes, we delegate tasks or assign roles to employees without giving them the proper tools and training they need to execute. For example, if someone hired me today to run a nuclear power plant, I am in no position to be able to execute. I don't have the training, the expertise, or know how to use the tools at my disposal to get the job done. It isn't that I am not capable, I just wouldn't have the basic skills I need to be successful. So, it is important to truly reflect and consider if the employee has the support or resources they need to perform. If the answer is no, get them training and see if things improve.
Are they willing to do the job? Now we are addressing employees that have the resources to perform but choose not to. Perhaps they think the role is "beneath" them, or they otherwise are demotivated to want to perform. For example, I can walk a dog, but I am not willing to do it for a living as my sole source of income. I have interests and talents in other areas that bring me more fulfillment that I am willing to do. Figure out if the position is truly aligned with their interests or strengths. If it isn't then re-assigning them to a role that is more in line with what they enjoy doing could be a viable option.
Are they excited to do the work? To grow your business, you want highly motivated and talented people on your teams who are able to execute and always on a high level. This type of peak performance is very hard to achieve unless you are dedicated and excited about your work. I have had employees who were more than capable, had amazing credentials and experience, but were not motivated by the work they were doing and it showed – in a big way. Your energy, your employees' energy, and your team's' energy feed off of each other. You want excited people in your business to help drive each other to want to do more and see the business succeed.
At the end of the day, if you've offered training, moved an employee to a new position, and otherwise did everything you could to help improve their performance, and they still cannot execute, then it is time to cut ties. Underperforming, demotivated and incapable employees are huge anchors on your business and will inevitably slow you down. It is okay to cut ties if it is in the best interest of your business.


WASHINGTON, D.C. ― In a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing held Thursday to consider the nomination of Thomas McCaffery to be Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) pressed McCaffery on improving delivery of care for TRICARE West, which serves military retirees, service members, and military families – including 83,800 TRICARE beneficiaries in New Mexico.
During the hearing, Heinrich raised concerns over issues TRICARE West has experienced with its contractor, Health Net Federal Services (HNFS), in maintaining an accurate directory with the correct names, phone numbers and addresses of providers so that Military Treatment Facilities can accurately refer patients.
According to HNFS, the health care provider directory is only correct for about 42 percent of the western region. The inaccurate database bogs down the referral process for military retirees, service members, and military families, delays care and costs Military Treatment Facilities thousands of hours and millions of dollars in staff time at military bases to correct.
In response to Heinrich's questioning, McCaffery acknowledged the severity of the problem and the need to take immediate corrective action.
Testimony and the archived webcast of Thursday's hearing is available here.

11/17/2017 If there are no legal targets to choose, perhaps because all your opponents have hexproof, the ability is removed from the stack with no effect. You won't draw a card. This is also true if the target opponent becomes an illegal target in response to the ability.

A few month ago, Microsoft released a .NET Framework update that silently added an extension to Mozilla Firefox (If the user had Firefox installed).
In addition to installing the as advertised updates to the .NET Framework, it also installed the extension in Firefox without warning, and opened the independent browser up to some of the vulnerabilities of Internet Explorer.
I always encourage installing critical updates to software because they are necessary for security purposes. While .NET updates are not "critical," they should not push add-ons for non-Microsoft software; especially without proper warning.
People who choose to use Firefox are generally not big fans of Microsoft's browser for a reason.
The bright side is that the Microsoft add-on is incomparable with the Firefox 3.5b4, so if you want to rid your browser of Microsoft, upgrading to that version or just disabling the add-on are your best bets. Trying to delete the add-on requires editing your registry which isn't worth the hassle in this particular case.
I'm really stumped why Firefox did this.
I wonder what motivated Firefox. Makes me wary now.
I don't think Firefox was particularly wrong in this instance. What makes me uneasy is Microsoft issuing updates that impact other company's software.
However, Mozilla probably should have issued a statement making their users aware of the implications, risks, and benefits of the Microsoft add-on.
I'm confused man. I thought Firefox controls their own Add-ons.
Do you mean to say that isn't the case? BTW, FF won't appear on my desktop since last night.
Firefox is open-source and they do not exercise control over the ad-ons that people make for the browser. I'm fairly certain that anyone can make a Firefox ad-on (If I'm wrong about this, please correct me).
In this particular case, Microsoft pushed a Firefox ad-on through one of their updates.
Then Firefox shouldn't claim to be safe or secured.
Then to make it worse, MS 'pushed' one of their own! Typical MS strongarm tactics.
p.s. I wonder why your comment font is in microprint. Might discourage other comments.
The comments are coming through in microprint for you? It shouldn't look that way. Can you email me a screengrab?

Universities the world over are shedding the image of the stuffy institution whose quality education is the sole privilege of the lucky few. In doing so, they have created one of the greatest life hacks ever: Massive Open Online Courses.
More than 800 institutes of higher learning in Sweden and in many other countries have created short, self-paced courses on an incredible variety of subjects. Most of the self-paced courses are free, although if any are certificate courses, the certificates must be paid for.
Few doubted the potential of the Internet for education when it first impacted the world in the mid-1990s. While it has been used effectively since then, the growing number of online free university courses is arguably one of the greatest realisations of that potential thus far.
Education is a key that can open many doors to amazing opportunities. However, in many places, cost, distance, limited space, and stringent entrance requirements ensured university-standard learning was accessible to a relatively small number of lucky students.
The free courses offered online by various institutes are not going to see degrees or doctorates conferred on those who complete them successfully, but that is not the point. Many are immensely practical, especially those offered by faculties of business and information technology. They offer enough information to be put to effective use – and who knows where that may lead?
Much like spending some time mastering blackjack strategy could have life-changing results, a few hours spent on a free university course for a few weeks could alter the trajectory of a person's life.
Free university courses online made their first appearance more than five years ago, and the trend is gaining momentum. As it does so, more and more educational institutions are getting involved.
Among the respected institutions that offer the courses are the universities of Mid Sweden, London, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Beijing, Edinburgh, Cape Town, Geneva, Melbourne, Paris-Saclay, Columbia, Copenhagen, and Barcelona, as well as the Museum of Modern Art, Berklee College of Music, and the Indian Institute of Technology. The courses may be short, but they are of good quality. There is not a doctorate in metaphysics from an unaccredited university in sight.
Among those announced as recently as the end of last year are Stanford University's Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Georgia Institute of Technology's Accessible Gamification for Business, University of Michigan's Building Web Applications in PHP, University of London International Programme's Making Your First Virtual Reality Game, Rochester Institute of Technology's Video Game Design: Teamwork and Collaboration, Kyoto University's More Fun with Prime Numbers, Harvard University's the Climate-Energy Challenge, and the University of Copenhagen's After the Arab Spring – Democratic Aspirations and State Failure.
Cost-free courses online from higher-learning institutions can be found in various ways. Those with any to offer list them on their websites, and there are dedicated sites that list courses offered by various universities, colleges, and schools.
Some of the sites most popular among Swedes who have discovered the benefits of learning online without paying a cent include Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy, Academic Earth, Open Culture Online Courses, Alison, and edX.
Apart from the potential self-improvement, employment, business, or further studying opportunities that could result from learning online for free, there are other good reasons to consider taking full advantage of the life hack.
The courses are short and self-paced, they are relevant to today's world, and they are designed to be as easily accessible to as many as possible. There are no great distances to travel, and there is no chance of sitting next to annoying students. Accessing quality-learning materials has possibly never been so convenient.

WASHINGTON– Bolstered by National Farmers Union (NFU) and Farm Aid, 275 family farmers are uniting this week at the U.S. Capitol to ask for emergency assistance and increased funding to address the harsh economic realities brought on by historically low prices and too high production costs.
Both organizations caution that America's farmers and ranchers can't afford to wait until after the November elections for relief. They are asking Congress for emergency assistance for the hardest hit farmers and ranchers; increased funding for USDA farm loan programs; and resources to provide short-term remedies for low commodity prices, to be included in the upcoming Congressional spending package for FY2017.
"Low commodity prices and high input costs have been relentless, and 2014 Farm Bill safety net programs have failed to deliver the relief needed for farmers and ranchers to recover. Many of the families who produce food for America are in danger of losing everything. The time for Congress to act is now," said NFU President Roger Johnson.
In addition to meeting with Congressional offices, farmers also will meet with White House officials and U.S. Department of Agriculture leadership to discuss the dire situation in farm country and ask for support for farm programs at the NFU Fall Legislative Fly-In.
Net farm income for 2016 is forecasted to be 42 percent lower than it was in 2013, yet farm production expenditures were reported 4 percent higher last year compared to the same time period. Farm Aid and NFU say if meaningful relief isn't available, this scenario, combined with the rising inability to access affordable credit, could put many farmers and ranchers out of business.
NFU and Farm Aid urged Congress to begin work on the next Farm Bill to provide a stronger safety net that protects family farmers and ranchers through long-term financial downturns.
The week of advocacy in Washington culminates in the annual Farm Aid concert, which takes place in Bristow, VA, on Saturday, September 17, and celebrates the crucial role of family farmers in the United States. On Thursday, September 15, Farm Aid will premier its documentary film, Homeplace Under Fire, (with link https://www.farmaid.org/our-work/farm-advocate-link/) at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, followed by a discussion with key USDA officials. On Friday, Farm Aid hosts an informal gathering to connect farmers, farm advocates and activists from across the country, to share issue and campaign updates and build community.
Farm Aid 2016 takes place Saturday, Sept. 17, in Bristow, Va. More information about the annual music and food festival is available at www.farmaid.org/concert.


I have not been doing much haruan fishing for a long time. There was a time years ago when it was nearly a weekly affair fishing for them. And I put together numerous articles and photos of the haruan until the day came where I ran dry of ideas to write about haruan, haruan fishing and different ways of catching them.
Those intense haruan fishing days were mostly done with casting hard-bodied lures and soft plastics.
So recently when I received a WhatsApp message from Poh and my buddies from Team Mother Fishing, yes… go TMF! to check-out a spot in Broga – I decided to attempt catching some haruan on fly.
What a day it turned out to be. Everyone caught a decent number of fish and I had a blast catching haruan after haruan on fly.
Too bad there was no big snakeheads turned-up but the numbers made up for that. I landed eight and lost a couple more, all using a hopper fly (grasshopper imitation). I think the fly was tied by Dron Lee of Fly Tying Nation, I can't remember. I went unprepared I have to admit with no poppers, no gurglers and no weedless flies that will come handy for the weedy waters.
I fished the hopper fly as I would when fishing surface lures such as frogs, crankbaits and small poppers.
First off, identify likely haruan holding spots. These would often be structure, snags, and weed covered edges. Keep a lookout for signs of feeding fish (you can hear them feeding too) and fish coming up for air.
Cast the fly/lure to the spots identified, wait a couple of seconds, make a twitch/pop and wait another few seconds – then twitch/pop and retrieve.
When the lure lands with a plop on the water, it will attract the attention of snakeheads in that area. A curious haruan will then move in closer to inspect the possible prey, often cautiously. If you start your retrieve too soon the fish may not even have time to see your offering. If the fish sees your lure swimming away from a distance it may not want to waste energy chasing down a prey that is already out of strike range, preferring to conserve it energy for an easier prey and possibly not risking swimming out and exposing its ambush cover to other prey, or predators.
I have seen haruan come up close and eyeball the surface lure without striking. It may be wondering if that strange looking object is prey or otherwise.
The first twitch may trigger a reaction strike. The resuming retrieve will hopefully make the haruan think the prey is trying to swim away and make it strike out of instinct.
A hungry and aggressive haruan will often charge at the lure and strike soon after your lure lands on the surface before the prey gets away or another fish gets to it first, producing a surface splash that is most gratifying to all anglers.
Using my training rod here. Fishing and practising at one go.
A grasshopper pattern for snakehead?
Gary sprang some surprise by catching three ketutu (marble goby) on soft plastic.
Found a new sebarau spot near home,nice calm river,and the sebarau love topwater lures..gonna check out a pond too,because the pond that I've been fishing every weekend is now buried..
Sebarau top water takes are aggressive. Have fun!

TICK and TRIN are two indicators that measure the general sentiment of the market.
They can be used both to determine near term market movement.
Theses indicators are not well know by traders, and because they can be very important in implementing trading strategies, I will explain in this article what theses indicators are about.
First the tick data can be found on the NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX; TICK on NYSE is the difference between the up ticks and the down ticks for all stocks that are traded in this exchange.
Example: Now, there are 400 stocks whose last trade is an up tick and 200 stocks whose last trade is a down tick, the Tick data show then a value of +200.
TRIN is a calculator, its formula is ((Advancing issues/declining issues) / (advancing volume/declining volume)), it's a contrarian indicator to detect overbought and oversold levels in the market.
How to day trade with these indicators?
TICK value between +200 and -300 indicate a neutral market sentiment.
It became bullish when its value became higher than +200 and bearish when it is lower -300.
Very bullish when its value is higher than +500 and very bearish when it is lower than -500.
Note that when TICK is higher than +1000 or lower than -1000, then a reversal of the market will probably happen soon.
Generally a rising TRIN is bearish and a falling TRIN is bullish.
I have added theses indicators in my software, so now when the application grab trades and add them to the database; it takes also the last value of TICK and TRIN for NYSE and NASDAQ stock exchanges.
The goal is to try to find a correlation between, stock performance and TICK and TRIN values; so that's way I can come up with a better day trading system with a greater performance.

New York Giants QB Eli Manning Set To Join Exclusive Club Vs. Rams
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 22: Quarterback Eli Manning #10 of the New York Giants celebrates with teammate Justin Pugh #67 against the Seattle Seahawks during the second quarter of the game at MetLife Stadium on October 22, 2017 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
There hasn't been much to cheer for about the New York Giants this season. They're 1-6 and have suffered a rash of injuries to key players.
But on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, Giants fans will have something to cheer for. If Eli Manning, the franchise's best quarterback of all-time, is able to throw for at least 186 yards through the air, he'll become just the seventh quarterback in NFL history to reach the 50,000 yards milestone.
The group of players he'd be joining is impressive.
Eli would also become the first NFC East quarterback to achieve this milestone. That's quite an accomplishment, considering that the division has historically been one of the toughest and most physical, with offenses that love the ground-and-pound approach.
This speaks to both Manning's ability and his durability, as he will make his 207th consecutive start on Sunday.
CLICK HERE FOR ESNY's GIANTS TEAM CENTER
He may have his detractors, but nobody can deny how dependable Manning has been. To play week in and week out for 14 years, despite having a shaky offensive line for the past several seasons, is nothing short of miraculous.
While he may never admit this publicly, he'll take satisfaction in this.
It's far from a lock that he'll get the yards he needs, however. With his receiving corps destroyed by injury, he's averaged just 131 passing yards per game over the past two weeks. But with Sterling Shepard set to return on Sunday after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury, Eli will be getting a big-time target back on the field.
Sunday could be the last significant milestone that Manning achieves as a Giant. He'll celebrate his 37th birthday in January and with the Giants clearly in rebuilding mode, it's not a guarantee that he'll be with the team in 2018.
There's been speculation that should he and the team part ways, he'd wind up in Jacksonville, where he'd be reunited with former Giants head coach Tom Coughlin.
So for those heading to MetLife Stadium for this game, celebrate Eli. You might not have too many chances left to do so.

SAT for Michigan Students in 2016
Michigan just recently changed their college entrance exam from ACT to SAT after a competitive bidding process. The College Board, which oversees the SAT, received a three-year contract with the state of Michigan worth about $17.1 million. Juniors in the Spring of 2016 will be the first to take the new assessment. Michigan, mandated by law, will still be providing this test for free.
Questions are being raised across the state that access to colleges, especially top universities, will become more difficult with the new assessment. The universities disagree with this statement. Majority of the universities and colleges have already been examining the SAT scores of students so this change is quite minor for them.
In basic understanding of a college entrance exam, not much will be changing. For mathematics, the ACT focused more on content where the SAT focused more on critical thinking and problem solving. The SAT has also been known more for it focus on vocabulary.
According to Diffen: http://www.diffen.com/difference/ACT_vs_SAT
Both the ACT and the SAT allow for the use of a calculator in their respective math sections and test similar mathematical concepts. Basic arithmetic, algebra, and geometry questions appear on both tests. While there are no trigonometry questions in the SAT, a few appear in the ACT; neither has calculus questions. Formulas are given to students on the SAT, but not on the ACT, which requires students to learn and memorize formulas if they haven't already.
ACT math and SAT math differ in how they present the subject. The ACT always treats math as its second section in the test and gives students 60 minutes to answer 60 multiple-choice questions. The SAT has three math sections: two 25-minute sections and one 20-minute section. One 25-minute section has 20 questions and is multiple choice only; the other 25-minute section has eight multiple-choice questions and 10 "show us your work" questions that require writing; the 20-minute section consists of 16 multiple-choice questions.
Recently, the College Board announced that they will be rolling out a redesign of the the test. This is a response to criticism that the current test is biased and does not provide an accurate portrayal of students' abilities. The College Board was quoted saying that the new test "...will ask students to apply a deep understanding of the few things shown by current research to matter most for college readiness and success."
Some major changes include the following:
A scoring scale of 400 to 1600.
Some locations will allow students to take the SAT on computers.
College Board is teaming up with Khan Academy to provide free, online test prep. This is a major shift for the SAT, which has not always been straightforward and curriculum-based like the ACT.
The writing and critical reading sections will be combined into one section type.
The vocabulary sections that the SAT is so well known for will be scrapped in favor of more ACT-like vocabulary in context questions.
Some parts of the math sections will ban calculators.
There will be a 50-minute, optional essay writing component, wherein students will be asked to analyze a provided essay, discuss how it is structured, and explain whether it adequately communicates its ideas.
There will be no penalty for wrong answers. The SAT will become exactly like the ACT in this regard.

Magnetic fields make the excitons go 'round
Theorists find a new way to improve efficiency of solar cells by overcoming exciton "traps."

A major limitation in the performance of solar cells happens within the photovoltaic material itself: When photons strike the molecules of a solar cell, they transfer their energy, producing quasi-particles called excitons — an energized state of molecules. That energized state can hop from one molecule to the next until it's transferred to electrons in a wire, which can light up a bulb or turn a motor.
But as the excitons hop through the material, they are prone to getting stuck in minuscule defects, or traps — causing them to release their energy as wasted light.
Now a team of researchers at MIT and Harvard University has found a way of rendering excitons immune to these traps, possibly improving photovoltaic devices' efficiency. The work is described in a paper in the journal Nature Materials.
Their approach is based on recent research on exotic electronic states known as topological insulators, in which the bulk of a material is an electrical insulator — that is, it does not allow electrons to move freely — while its surface is a good conductor.
The MIT-Harvard team used this underlying principle, called topological protection, but applied it to excitons instead of electrons, explains lead author Joel Yuen, a postdoc in MIT's Center for Excitonics, part of the Research Laboratory of Electronics. Topological protection, he says, "has been a very popular idea in the physics and materials communities in the last few years," and has been successfully applied to both electronic and photonic materials.
Moving on the surface
Topological excitons would move only at the surface of a material, Yuen explains, with the direction of their motion determined by the direction of an applied magnetic field. In that respect, their behavior is similar to that of topological electrons or photons.
In its theoretical analysis, the team studied the behavior of excitons in an organic material, a porphyrin thin film, and determined that their motion through the material would be immune to the kind of defects that tend to trap excitons in conventional solar cells.
The choice of porphyrin for this analysis was based on the fact that it is a well-known and widely studied family of materials, says co-author Semion Saikin, a postdoc at Harvard and an affiliate of the Center for Excitonics. The next step, he says, will be to extend the analysis to other kinds of materials.
While the work so far has been theoretical, experimentalists are eager to pursue the concept. Ultimately, this approach could lead to novel circuits that are similar to electronic devices but based on controlling the flow of excitons rather that electrons, Yuen says. "If there are ever excitonic circuits," he says, "this could be the mechanism" that governs their functioning. But the likely first application of the work would be in creating solar cells that are less vulnerable to the trapping of excitons.
Eric Bittner, a professor of chemistry at the University of Houston who was not associated with this work, says, "The work is interesting on both the fundamental and practical levels. On the fundamental side, it is intriguing that one may be able to create excitonic materials with topological properties. This opens a new avenue for both theoretical and experimental work. … On the practical side, the interesting properties of these materials and the fact that we're talking about pretty simple starting components — porphyrin thin films — makes them novel materials for new devices."
The work received support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Norman Yao, a graduate student at Harvard, was also a co-author.

Jean Écalle (born 1947) is a French mathematician, specializing in dynamic systems, perturbation theory, and analysis.

Écalle received, in 1974 from the University of Paris-Saclay in Orsay, a doctorate under the supervision of Hubert Delange with Thèse d'État entitled La théorie des invariants holomorphes. He is a directeur de recherché (senior researcher) of the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and is a professor at the University of Paris-Saclay.

He developed a theory of so-called "resurgent functions", analytic functions with isolated singularities, which have a special algebra of derivatives (Alien calculus, Calcul différentiel étranger). "Resurgent functions" are divergent power series whose Borel transforms converge in a neighborhood of the origin and give rise, by means of analytic continuation, to (usually) multi-valued functions, but these multi-valued functions have merely isolated singularities without singularities that form cuts with dimension one or greater. Écalle's theory has important applications to solutions of generalizations of Abel's integral equation; the method of resurgent functions provides for such solutions a (Borel) resummation method for dealing with divergent series arising from semiclassical asymptotic developments in quantum theory.

He applied his theory to dynamic systems  and to the interplay between diophantine small denominators and resonance involved in problems of germs of vector fields.

Independently of Yulij Ilyashenko he proved that the number of limit cycles of polynomial vector fields in the plane is finite, which Henri Dulac had already tried to prove in 1923. This result is related to Hilbert's sixteenth problem.

In 1988 Écalle was the inaugural recipient of the  of the Académie des Sciences. He was in 1990 an Invited Speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians in Kyoto.

Moving on to plants . . . Tropical houseplants had all been brought inside, but outside still remained subtropicals, including some potted figs, pomegranates, bay laurel, olive, and an angel's trumpet (Brugsmansia). Subtropical plants can tolerate, even enjoy, temperatures below freezing, even down as low as 10°F. for some of them. My pomegranates, the varieties Kazake and Salavatski, both from western Asia, are reputedly cold-hardy to below 0°F! All these subropicals will enjoy the great outdoors for a few more weeks, barring a drastic change in the weather.
Some vegetables remaining out in the garden can likewise weather cold weather well. Just to make sure, though, I laid "floating row covers" over beds of endive, mustard greens, and lettuce. These diaphanous coverings keep plants beneath them a few degrees warmer while letting light and water filter through. The soil retains enough heat to protect roots of turnip and winter radishes, which are further protected beneath their leafy canopies.
I forgot to pick and eat Sungold tomatoes, which would be done for after a freezing night. Any red peppers still left on the plants had been harvested; those plants would also be dead on the morrow. I can't complain; the Sungolds and the peppers bore well and for a longer time than ever before.
The final cold prep was to check the greenhouse, making sure window, sidewalls, and doors are closed up tight, and the heater is functional.
I'm ready for Ol' Man Winter.
The morning after: The cold turned out to be not nearly as dramatic as expected. A little before sunrise a cloud cover crept over the sky, tucking in the earth's warmth rather than letting it radiate out to a clear sky. The low temperature for the night was 28°F. Even the pepper and tomato plants had toughened up enough by then to tolerate that amount of cold. Not to keep ripening good-tasting fruit, though.
Temperatures aren't predicted to drop near freezing for many days after that night, but I didn't consider my scurrying around to move or cover plants, and drain water lines, to be wasted effort. Endives and other greens still out in the vegetable garden transpire very little water in cool weather, and even less so when covered with floating row covers.
The only watering needed from then on would be of the compost pile, easily accessible from one of the frost-free hydrants and a short length of hose, connected as needed.
Greenhouse temperatures dropped only to 40°F, the temperature at which I set the thermostat. Cloudy days in there are like today are akin to winter days along the Mediterranean: Very cool and somewhat dreary. On sunny days, I open the greenhouse door to bathe in a tropical paradise of sunlight, heat, and high humidity, with lush plants of lettuce, mustard, arugula, celery, chard, claytonia, and parsley blanketing the ground.
Fig trees in the greenhouse have slowly eased their way into dormancy. I hurried them along by lopping them back — except for the few branches still ripening a few fruits. Those figs, ripening in low sun and cooler weather (even in the greenhouse), aren't as tasty as those of summer and early autumn. I wonder how tasty November figs are in Italy and Greece?

Does the banana tree bear fruit?
No. Too cold and dark indoors.

Q: Circular Dependency error in android studio while building project I have to build a single application by combining two applications. The two applications are 'app' and 'case'. I added 'case' to 'app' as a library successfully. Now I want to use some classes of 'app' in 'case'. How should i do that?
I added 'app' to 'case' in dependencies as
        compile project (':app')
but it shows this error
Error:Circular reference between projects: :app-> :case-> :app
Please help .

A: Create an android library project that the two can share that contains the code and resources common to both. Having an app depend on another app seems like bad news even if there wasn't a circular dependency.

A: Sol1:same name(:app) will not add in Android Studio again.
sol2:if the :app name is not there in your Project, Create new Project and import again, it will work
sol3:in settings.gradle file include ':app',':core' add like this.

Michael Becker (* 21. Juli 1945 in Berlin) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Radrennfahrer und nationaler Meister im Radsport.

Sportliche Laufbahn
Seit 1954 war Becker Radsportler, er wurde damals Mitglied im Verein RV Britz Neukölln. Zunächst war er Kunstradfahrer und gewann die Schülermeisterschaft im Einerkunstfahren von Berlin. 1962 fand er dann zum Rennsport, als er einen Lehrgang auf der Radrennbahn Schöneberg unter der Leitung von Hans Dasch besuchte. Im Anschluss daran trat er dem Verein BRC Zugvogel 1901 bei.

Becker hatte seine größten Erfolge in Zeitfahrwettbewerben. Erstmals trat er 1967 mit dem Sieg beim Rennen Rund um Dortmund in Erscheinung. 1968 folgte der Sieg im Großen Conti-Straßenpreis, der dritte Platz bei der deutschen Meisterschaft im Mannschaftszeitfahren und der dritte Rang beim Rennen Rund um Köln. Er startete zu dieser Zeit für den Verein Berliner RC Zugvogel 1901. Ein Jahr später gewann er das traditionsreiche Rennen Rund in Berlin (West) und wurde Zweiter der deutschen Meisterschaft im Zweier-Mannschaftsfahren mit Manfred Mücke als Partner. Die Serie seiner Meistertitel im Mannschaftszeitfahren begann 1970. 1972, 1974 und 1976 konnte er ebenfalls bei den Titelkämpfen die Goldmedaille gewinnen. In der Mannschaftsverfolgung auf der Bahn war er kaum weniger erfolgreich, von 1972 bis 1974 gewann er ebenfalls den Titel, zunächst mit dem Verein Berliner RC Grün-Weiß Derby 1921, dann ab 1974 mit Berliner RC Opel-Schüler 1921. 1975 gewann er erneut Rund in Berlin. In den Mannschaftswettbewerben gewann er bis 1977 regelmäßig weitere Medaillen bei den Meisterschaftsrennen. 1970 siegte er beim Veith-Pirelli-Straßenpreis auf dem Kurs in München, auf dem 1972 das olympische Straßenrennen ausgetragen wurde. Der Sieg hatte für ihn einen hohen Stellenwert, da zahlreiche Nationalmannschaften das Rennen nutzten, um den Kurs kennenzulernen. 1978 holte er zwei Etappensiege in der Niedersachsen-Rundfahrt. Er konnte er das traditionelle Rollbergrennen in Berlin-Neukölln gewinnen, was auch sein letzter größerer Erfolg war.

CRIS' flagship IFI 'Whole School Community Approaches' Project ran between 2009 and 2013 and was delivered across three geographical clusters incorporating 24 school communities and over 10,000 pupils, school staff, parents, carers and facilitators.
The project adhered to very clear strategic objectives that targeted the building of capacity, development of strategic partnership, family and civic engagement, creation of forward-focused, shared pupil programmes and the creation of key developmental policies. CRIS applied a unique flexibility that allowed each school to start at their own beginning and chart their own Community Relations journey that was tailored to the needs of their school community.
The project led to the development of Cookstown CRAFT (Community Relations Association of Families Together); 'Antrim and Randalstown Schools: Moving Forward Together' (MFT); numerous new or reinforced education partnerships across all three geographical areas; the establishment of the 'ARC (Active Respectful Communities) Ardoyne and Shankill Together' programme and the embedding of good practice across all three clusters.

Grip strength predicts cardiac adverse events in patients with cardiac disorders: an individual patient pooled meta-analysis
Rita, P. et al. (2018) Grip strength predicts cardiac adverse events in patients with cardiac disorders: an individual patient pooled meta-analysis. Heart, (doi:10.1136/heartjnl-2018-313816) (PMID:30455175) (Early Online Publication)
172208Suppl.pdf - Supplemental Material
Objective: Grip strength is a well-characterised measure of weakness and of poor muscle performance, but there is a lack of consensus on its prognostic implications in terms of cardiac adverse events in patients with cardiac disorders. Methods: Articles were searched in PubMed, Cochrane Library, BioMed Central and EMBASE. The main inclusion criteria were patients with cardiac disorders (ischaemic heart disease, heart failure (HF), cardiomyopathies, valvulopathies, arrhythmias); evaluation of grip strength by handheld dynamometer; and relation between grip strength and outcomes. The endpoints of the study were cardiac death, all-cause mortality, hospital admission for HF, cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and myocardial infarction (MI). Data of interest were retrieved from the articles and after contact with authors, and then pooled in an individual patient meta-analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to define predictors of outcomes. Results: Overall, 23 480 patients were included from 7 studies. The mean age was 62.3±6.9 years and 70% were male. The mean follow-up was 2.82±1.7 years. After multivariate analysis grip strength (difference of 5 kg, 5× kg) emerged as an independent predictor of cardiac death (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.79 to 0.89, p<0.0001), all-cause death (OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.85 to 0.89, p<0.0001) and hospital admission for HF (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.92, p<0.0001). On the contrary, we did not find any relationship between grip strength and occurrence of MI or CVA. Conclusion: In patients with cardiac disorders, grip strength predicted cardiac death, all-cause death and hospital admission for HF. Trial registration number: CRD42015025280.

Q: Submit button works normally locally, but on the web server, it gives me an error So when I click my button on my webpage, it works fine if I do it locally. If I do it on my GoDaddy webserver, it gives me a "operation must be updateable query" error, and points to the com.ExecuteNonQuery in my code. Here is the C# for the error:
 protected void submitForMail(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string constr = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\TravelJoansDB.mdb;";
    string cmdstr = "INSERT INTO EmailList(FirstName,LastName,EmailAddress) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName, @EmailAddress)";
    OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(constr);
    OleDbCommand com = new OleDbCommand(cmdstr, con);
    TextBox tFirstName = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("FirstName");
    TextBox tLastName = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("LastName");
    TextBox tEmail = (TextBox)FormView1.FindControl("EmailAddress");
    con.Open();
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", tFirstName.Text);
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LastName", tLastName.Text);
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmailAddress", tEmail.Text);
    com.ExecuteNonQuery();
    con.Close();
    string EmailAdded = "Your E-mail address has been added.";
    System.Console.Write(EmailAdded);
}

I don't want to update any record in the table, I want to insert them into the table. So why is it telling me that the operation needs to be an updateable query?

A: User running this program does not have permissions to access the database file.
Check and modify the permissions as per your conditions.
You can also consider changing the location of the database file to another, more asily accessible folder.
Also check if file is located in program files folder, If it is so, then it creates permission issues for user.
Permission Setting Method:
To set this permission, right click on the App_Data folder (or whichever other folder you have put the mdb file in) and select Properties.
Look for the Security tab. If you can't see it, you need to go to My Computer, then click Tools and choose Folder Options.
Then click the View tab. Scroll to the bottom and uncheck "Use simple file sharing (recommended)".
Back to the Security tab, you need to add the relevant account to the Group or User Names box.
Click Add.Then click Advanced, then Find Now.
The appropriate account should be listed. Double click it to add it to the Group or User Names box, then check the Modify option in the permissions.

A: It was indeed a permissions error, but I didn't know that I could set permissions on GoDaddy's servers. I found a link for it here. This solved my problems. Thanks everyone!
