How to Control Root Maggots
By: Teo Spengler
Dario Lo Presti/iStock/Getty Images
Few[ [root maggots](https://www.gardenguides.com/12251297-will-salt-kill-maggots.html) ]poems are written about root maggots, few songs sung in their honor. Root maggots, the larvae of root maggot flies, are fat, gray-white grubs with pointy heads and can grow 1/3 inch long. They live about two to five weeks, but in that time they manage to annoy many gardeners by eating their way through crops' roots. Controlling these pests requires an understanding of what they do and why.
You would be hard-pressed to distinguish a root maggot fly from a regular, small housefly, unless you observed the insect laying eggs in early spring. Female root maggot flies can lay more than 100 eggs at the base of a single plant over several days. The eggs hatch in 10 days or fewer, and the young larvae burrow into the plant roots, eating as they go. This dinner kills and damages vegetables and sometimes entire crops. The larvae mature, emerge as adults, mate and the females lay more eggs.
Few poems are written about root maggots, few songs sung in their honor.
They live about two to five weeks, but in that time they manage to annoy many gardeners by eating their way through crops' roots.
Damage Identification
Typical root maggot target crops include onions (Alliuim spp.), cabbage (Brassica oleracea capitata group), broccoli (Brassica oleracea italica group), cauliflower (Brassica oleracea botrytus group), brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea gemmifera group) and turnips (Brassica rapus rapifera group). Initially, affected plants yellow; they may wilt and die, especially if they are seedlings. The most severe damage to root crops, however, occurs beneath the soil, where the maggots cut tunnels through the plants' roots, and those areas become filled with rot and disease.
The most efficient manner of controlling root maggots is to prevent the flies from laying eggs on crops. One method is to protect the crops with floating row covers, lightweight fabric that allows light and water to pass but keeps bugs out. This method works only when the row covers are in place before any eggs are laid; otherwise, the larvae will thrive, protected beneath the row covers. An alternative is to position circular cardboard or tar paper collars around each crop transplant. Each circle should be about 4 inches in diameter and have a center hole sufficiently large enough for the plant's stem. Slit one side of each collar so that you can slip the collar into place around a plant.

Soil Protection
Root maggot flies lay their eggs in cracks in the soil at the base of edible plants. You can prevent this by piling items on the earth. Layer 1 inch of wood ash around your plants, choosing ash from hardwood rather than treated wood. Alternatively, sprinkle your garden with rock phosphate or diatomaceous earth. In yesteryear, gardeners mixed 1 cup of lime with 1 quart of water and let the solution sit overnight. The following morning, the clear water was removed and poured on the soil around the base of vulnerable plants to keep flies away. A layer of oak leaves also may work well.

Good Cultural Practices
It pays to clean up your garden before you plant, during the growing season and after harvest, and sanitation might help control the root maggots, too. Clean up your garden beds affected by root maggots, even if you had to abandon the crops. Remove weeds and plant debris regularly, and rotate crops; move crops attacked by root maggots as far as possible from their old location.

Peru's bishops call for 'urgent and creative solution' to nation's crisis
Barbara J. Fraser | Catholic News Service
Demonstrators take part in a protest against Peruvian President Pedro Castillo's government, demanding his resignation, in Lima, Peru, in this April 9, 2022, file photo. Amid a political crisis in which the president, his wife and members of her family are accused of corruption and taking bribes, Peru's bishops have called for dialogue and a commitment to uphold democratic institutions.

Amid a political crisis in which the president, his wife and members of her family are accused of corruption and taking bribes, Peru's bishops have called for dialogue and a commitment to uphold democratic institutions.
At a news conference Aug. 18, the bishops issued a statement calling for "an urgent and creative solution" in the face of "alarming levels of political, social, economic and moral decomposition, combined with distrust on the part of a large percentage of the population, and a loss of credibility and governance."
The statement comes just after the first-year mark of the government of President Pedro Castillo, a rural teacher and union leader from the northern Cajamarca region who had no prior government experience when he took office in July 2021.
Castillo took the helm of a country reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, which claimed at least 200,000 lives and left more than a quarter of the population living in poverty. His administration has been plagued by constant turnover in key positions, with nearly 60 people having passed through the 19 top Cabinet posts so far.
His term also has been marked by constant sparring between the president and Congress. The constitution gives Congress the power to censure ministers and impeach the president, but also allows the president to dissolve Congress under certain circumstances. The result has been an uneasy standoff.
Conflicts between the president and the national Congress predate Castillo -- Peru had three presidents in just over a week in December 2020 -- but have become entrenched during his term.
"Citizens do not deserve the spectacles of confrontation within and between the public powers, especially the executive and legislative branches, as the constant confrontation deepens their loss of legitimacy, and citizens no longer feel represented by them," the bishops wrote.
The conflict, they added, is "seriously harming democracy and creating greater division and conflict, which leads to a serious confrontation among Peruvians and may lead to uncontrollable levels of violence."
The political crisis is further complicated by high levels of corruption, the bishops said, noting that a recent Latinobarómetro survey placed Peru among the four Latin American countries considered most corrupt by their citizens. Besides the president, his wife and several of her relatives, prosecutors are investigating a former government minister, half a dozen legislators and various other officials, including judges, in corruption cases.
All of the presidents elected in Peru since 1990 face corruption accusations. Former President Alan García committed suicide in 2019 when police arrived at his home to arrest him in an investigation of kickbacks from construction projects.
Castillo's supporters say the criticism of the president stems from discrimination because of his rural roots. Opponents say he is inept and undermining democracy. Castillo has tried to make leaking information about corruption investigations a crime, leading the bishops to call for the government to guarantee freedom of the press and the media to "inform and express opinions with truth, honesty and respect."
The bishops noted that corruption contributes to increased poverty, which is exacerbated by the global economic crisis. The consequences include more Peruvians suffering from hunger and precarious employment, as well as decreased spending on public services like health care and education, they said.
Amid what they called a moral and ethical crisis, the bishops called for broad-based dialogue involving all branches of government, civil society "and especially young people."
"We call on all sectors of civil society to seek, by democratic means, the reestablishment of governance and peace in our country, rejecting violence as a means of resolving conflicts," the bishops wrote, adding that the church "has been, is and always will be willing to collaborate for the good of our beloved Peru."

At first glance Assassin's Creed Rebellion looks quite a lot like Fallout Shelter, which isn't a surprise considering they were both developed by Behaviour Interactive. But unlike Fallout Shelter, Assassin's Creed Rebellion's gameplay is centered around turn-based squad strategy mechanics more similar in style to the X-Com series.
Assassin's Creed Unity is the first entry in the series that won't be available for last-gen consoles, having been developed to take advantage of the extra power introduced by the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. This time the franchise heads to Paris and takes place during the French Revolution. While the core gameplay should look familiar to fans, the latest release introduces cooperative multiplayer that should extend the longevity of the experience.
But first, you're going to want to grab the Android companion app. It's not much use without the full game, but the included 3D map of Paris can make navigating the city an easier task.
Today's the day that Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag launches for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, so you know what that means - it's time to hit up the Play Store to download the companion app. Ubisoft's offering turns your Android tablet into a virtual quartermaster. It provides quick access to the world map, tracks your progress, keeps tabs on communications, and more.
With the companion app, gamers will have less reason to ever pause the action, as many of the secondary tasks have been delegated to the touch screen. It displays mission objectives, lets users set waypoints, and makes it easier to search around the map.

Haniyeh: Israel not interested in stability, opposes peace.
Israel dismisses Spanish peace plan Haniyeh said that some of the aspects of the Spanish plan were "worthy of consideration, but that the Palestinians would respond to the initiative only after it is presented formally, Israel Radio reported. Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero announced the plan at a summit in Spain with President Jacques Chirac of France. "Peace between Israel and the Palestinians means to a large extent peace on the international scene," Zapatero told a news conference. "We cannot remain impassive in the face of the horror that continues to unfold before our eyes," Zapatero said. Referring to the errant artillery shells in Beit Hanun and Wednesday's fatal rocket attack in Sderot, Zapatero said the violence "has reached a level of deterioration that requires determined, urgent action by the international community." He said that the peace plan will be presented to an EU summit next month, and that he hoped to win the backing of Britain and Germany. According to Zapatero, the plan had five elements: an immediate cease-fire; formation by the Palestinians of a national unity government that could gain international recognition; an exchange of prisoners - including the three IDF soldiers whose kidnapping sparked the war in Lebanon and fighting in Gaza this summer; talks between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas; and an international mission in Gaza to monitor a cease-fire. Herb Keinon contributed to this report.


Sebastian passed away this past Wednesday of liver cancer.
He was the first cougar to show signs of actually liking me, as opposed to being friendly to anybody who came by as some cougars are, and I had a stronger bond with him than any other cats except my Raja Baby. Until last week, when he was quite visibly sick, he would almost always respond to my poor imitation of a cougar's chirp with chirps of his own, and usually would come up to the fence for a visit. Last week he had not eaten for days and he would not come out of his igloo, but at the end of the day he got up for a drink of water and seemed pleased to visit with me. I was more hopeful as I left than I had been earlier in the day, but my first impression was unfortunately the right one.
i love the blither-toungue. i'm sorry you lost him.

Accounting and legal graduates often make the mistake of using the same version of their resume in all their job applications.
Better to customise the content in response to the selection criteria and responsibilities of the position you're interested in. That way you demonstrate, from the beginning, that you have what it takes to succeed in that position.
Many organisations now use an automated system for the initial review of resumes for each position they post. This checks the extent to which selected 'keywords' in the position description appear in each resume. The higher the alignment, the more likely it is that a human being may eventually view your application.
Even then, a hiring manager may subsequently spend only a few seconds scanning your resume before deciding whether to include you on the candidate short list. If they're distracted by information that's irrelevant to the requirements of the position, your chances of an interview diminish.
The first step in customising your resume is to carefully read the job advertisement to identify selection criteria and responsibilities. Your resume will need to demonstrate that your professional skills and personal attributes align closely with these.
Check also to ensure that you're able to include the main keywords from the advertisement in your resume – many times if possible.
The top half of the first page of your resume is where you should focus your customisation.
When a hiring manager notices that the first couple of paragraphs align closely with the selection criteria, it may be enough to convince them that you deserve to be on the short list.
The most obvious element to consider in this area is your 'target job title' or 'career objective'. This should match the wording used in the job advertisement. For example, if an employer is seeking a 'Junior Tax Accountant', these three words should appear at the top of your resume.
When you describe your previous work experience (either paid or volunteer), you should ensure that the details resonate in the context of the advertised position.
For example, if you've worked as a bar manager, your cocktail mixing skills may not be as relevant as your experience in reconciling the bar's financial records in anticipation of a tax audit.
Likewise, in the 'Education' section of your resume, you only need to describe the subjects studied if they're directly relevant to the advertised position or demonstrate above-average achievement.
Customising your resume for each application can be time-consuming and tedious.
The good news, however, is that the more you do it, the easier and quicker it becomes. You'll eventually find that you'll be able to re-use phrases and descriptions for advertised positions that are similar to ones you previously applied for.
The even better news is that tailoring your resume will help you stand out from other applicants and increase your chances of securing both an interview and a job.

Codevigor and Horizon Africa partner with the Mauritius IFC to NFTing the rights to use the MIFC 30-year Commemorative logo
The Mauritius International Financial Centre (Mauritius IFC), under the aegis of the Ministry of Financial Services and Good Governance (MFSGG), has embarked on a strategy of further graduating Mauritius as a full-fledged international financial centre which includes further enhancing substance in the jurisdiction, as well as developing new segments of activities such as wealth and asset management, international legal services, investment banking, commodities and derivatives platform, headquartering and treasury management. Last November, the Mauritius IFC celebrated its 30 years and a gala dinner was hosted at Le Meridien to commemorate its anniversary. Based in Mauritius, Codevigor is a blockchain development company and has worked on numerous projects including exchanges, metaverses, remittances companies, and more. Horizon Africa Blockchain is a public permissioned EVM-compatible blockchain network that is currently being used for metaverse projects. Horizon Africa provides the capabilities for metaverses to implement a governance model by enabling smart contracts, and NFTs, which allows for the implementation of activities in the real and virtual world. Horizon Africa has built on the limitations of Ethereum for hosting large-scale dApps. Horizon Africa Blockchain is designed to serve the metaverse by using the building blocks of Ethereum. As of November 2022, Horizon Africa Blockchain holds around USD 2.5m in assets on its chain. The Mauritius IFC has launched a commemorative logo for the occasion which will allow all stakeholders in the industry to use the commemorative logo in certain capacities. To implement this, the Mauritius IFC has partnered with Codevigor and Horizon Africa to launch 350 NFTs on Horizon Africa Blockchain with the rights to use the commemorative logo, which was distributed to the players of the industry. The NFT was developed and deployed on Horizon Africa Blockchain by Codevigor.
What is an NFT and deployment
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are cryptographic assets on a blockchain with unique identification codes and metadata that distinguish them from each other. Each NFT is given unique features and is associated with a distinct physical or virtual asset. NFTs are often linked to items such as artworks, music, videos, real estate, assets, or any other digital representation. NFTs can also function to represent individuals' identities, property rights, and more. To deploy the NFT, Codevigor has used the ERC-721 standard, which defines the minimum interface - ownership details, security, and metadata. NFTs are created through a process called minting in which the information of the NFT is published on a blockchain, and in our case, on the Horizon Africa Blockchain. This process often entails incorporating smart contracts that assign ownership and manage the transferability of the NFT. As tokens are minted, they are assigned a unique identifier directly linked to one blockchain address. Each token has an owner, and the ownership information (i.e. the address in which the minted token resides) is publicly available. For the Mauritius IFC, 350 same exact NFTs were minted, each with a unique identifier that can be distinguished from one other. The NFTs are then assigned to the stakeholders.
At the event
Guests claimed their respective NFT by scanning a QR code through a physical token that was provided to them during the gala dinner. Once the terms and conditions were accepted, the rights to use the commemorative logo were assigned to the respective stakeholders after their credentials were validated.
What is tied to the NFT?
The MFSGG holds the sole ownership of the commemorative logo, but the rights to use the logo have been enforced through NFTs and distributed to stakeholders. The full terms and conditions can be found here. The minted NFT represents the right to use the commemorative logo of the Mauritius IFC in email signature banners and as digital backdrops. Once the NFT is claimed by a stakeholder, the latter will have the right to use the commemorative logo as per the terms and conditions set. The same will have to be accepted when claiming the NFT. A non-custodial wallet can be used to hold the NFT and it can be used to transfer the NFT to another person within the organisation.

The Brazilian Translation Market: How Does it Fare for Freelancers?
by Guest Blog
While Brazil is known for many things (yes, soccer is a good exercise; no, not all of us like samba), not much is known about the Brazilian translation market.
The latest survey, by the Common Sense Advisory, shows that the worldwide translation market mobilized about U$43 million in-between 2016-2017.

But What About Brazil?
The Brazilian translation market had been showing signs of growth for a while. In 2007, the city of Rio de Janeiro hosted the 2007 Pan American Games, which only contributed to said growth.
Furthermore, in that same year, we received the news that a big spike would occur.
The Brazilian Translation Market Spike
From the moment it was announced that Brazil would host the 2014 World Cup, the Brazilian translation market companies' spider sense started tingling. Even more so when the Olympics were also announced.
Of course, it would still be a while, granted the first announcement was in 2007 and the World Cup still seven years after that.
However, as the day approached, with all the havoc about the soccer stadiums not being finished yet, which national team would be the winner, among other concerns, the translation market and its companies set their individual marketing plans in motion.
There were countless ads, letters, formal requests, reports and documents to be translated; and many interviews and conferences in which interpreters were needed (besides the escort interpreting services for foreigners, as they went shopping and took taxi rides with ill-intentioned drivers who would try to overcharge them).
There was a lot to do, and surely, every translation freelancer and company in the Brazilian translation market took the biggest chunk of ore they could from that endless gold mine. It was paradise. Paradise, I say!
However, all that is good must end.
Now that is ancient history, something to remember fondly over the years to come. And believe you me, Brazilian translation companies and freelance translators ARE going to remember that time.
Especially because, different from regular breakups, in this one, Brazil received a goodbye gift: worldwide attention. During those events, and for a short span of time afterwards, the Brazilian economy was greatly boosted, especially through tourism.
The Brazilian translation market was restored to a normal level of business, but not the same "normal level" as before. It was higher! We could translate and translate, and there would always be jobs available.

The Brazilian Translation Market Plunge
Ever since 2015, the country has been dealing with a growing economic crisis. The most recent blow to the population was the gas-price raise, which had been a threat for a long time.
The job market also faces turbulence. Getting a job is certainly hard, whenever and wherever you try to apply for one, due to the competition you face, the qualifications you need, and so on.
But ask any unemployed Brazilian (not specific to translators or the Brazilian translation market) why they don't have a job, and they will surely say: "It's the crisis. It hasn't been easy for anyone."
For local freelance translators, it's even harder. They, as a group, provide a high-quality service. They, as a group, expect to be well paid for such service.
Most people, however, just look at them with the same dazed expression: "Do you think money grows on trees? I'm not paying that much."
While that is not specific to today (I bet all translators have heard this at least once in their lives), the economic crisis intensifies that feeling. If people could not afford translation services before, it is nearly impossible to do so now.
It's not like there isn't any work, but most of it is underpaid. "How underpaid?" you ask. It ranges from "it's free, but you should be glad to receive this opportunity" to 50 percent less than the originally proposed, after a long time bargaining.
Don't get me wrong: there are normal-paying clients out there, but they are a rare breed. Freelance translators scarcely see them and, thus, they either have to double up their production (at both applying for jobs and actually translating) or try to find a job in a translation company. After all, they have bills to pay and the Brazilian translation market is now a difficult one to compete in.
For starters, Brazilian translators had better thank the World Cup and Olympics once more. Inside jobs are too few, but there are a lot of foreign companies and individual clients out there who need translations. And they actually seek you out, because Brazil is on the world's radar.
One Brazilian translation company is even starting a project to train refugees from different countries to be translators. As each one speaks a different language, and they have all learned Portuguese, all they need is some direction and they can start a whole new life through this opportunity!
Also, with the economic crisis, Brazilians who want to travel abroad or buy anything online may find themselves dealing with an outrageous exchange rate.
Stick with me here: there is not much one can do to change the economy thoroughly, right? So why not just "embrace the pain?"
Freelance translators and translation companies in the Brazilian translation market may actually benefit from this scenario. If they are paid primarily in dollars, euros, or any other currency, they may be paid thrice as much in reais!
While they shouldn't completely disregard Brazilian clients, especially those who come to them, the fact is Brazilian clients tend to give up rather than accept the proposal, mainly due to the price.
If you take a look at online freelancing platforms, such as Upwork, you will see that most jobs are from anywhere but Brazil.
As for translation companies in the Brazilian translation market, there are many multinational enterprises that need their content translated into Brazilian Portuguese.
Now is the time for Brazilian translators and translation companies to market themselves internationally (online, may I suggest?) and try to earn some outside jobs!

As you see, not only do foreign clients pay Brazilian translators and translation companies better, but there are also more foreign clients looking for their services. Therefore, they are now relentlessly investing in marketing, to really put their names out there and get more jobs.
On the inside, the Brazilian translation market faces a grim scenario that will not change before the economy itself does. Unfortunately, there is no "light at the end of the tunnel" for now.

Showing other people respect is a critical part of maintaining important personal relationships. Learning to respect people's efforts, abilities, opinions, and quirks will help keep you happy and successful in your interpersonal life. Respecting yourself can help you move forward with the confidence to make a habit of respect and share it with the people around you.
Compliment the achievements of others. When others are successful, draw attention to it and celebrate their ability and their achievement. Learn to recognize when other people put forth extra effort and achieve something and praise them for it with sincerity. Take them aside and do it in private, so your compliments will seem genuine.
Instead of making your first reaction, "Why didn't that happen to me?" try saying "That's so great for them!" Keeping a positive attitude will focus attention away from yourself and spread goodwill.
If someone you respect seems to be having a rough time, or seems to have less to compliment than others, make an extra effort to compliment their effort, their attitude, or other positive attributes.
Be sincere. While it's important to thank people and praise others, most people don't usually respect brown-nosing. Be genuine in your thanks and in showing your respect to other people's effort. Speak from the heart.
Even something as simple as "It's always good to see you" can mean a lot and show lots of respect. It doesn't need to be complicated.
Do what you say you'll do. If you commit to an event or make plans with someone, come through on your end of the deal. Being reliable shows respect for people's time, and shows that you're making a special effort to be there for them. Respect other people's efforts by being on time, being prepared, and being enthusiastic.
Always come to work, school, or sports practice ready to go. Have your materials in order and complete all the necessary work ahead of time. You'll show respect for others by not wasting their time.
It can seem like telling someone "No" will be disrespectful, but you've also got to learn to be consistent and realistic with your abilities. It's hard to respect flakiness.
Offer your assistance. Go out of your way to help people when it seems like they need it, especially if it isn't required of you. Volunteer to help your friend move, or stay late to help clean up after school events. Go above and beyond. Even helping your little brother with his homework or helping your dad clean the yard without being asked shows a tremendous amount of respect.
If it seems like one of your friends or neighbors is feeling down or going through a rough patch, give them the encouragement that they might need. Learning to say, "You've got this" can make all the difference in the world for someone who might be struggling.
Respect the abilities of others. Offering too much help can sometimes be disrespectful. Sometimes, it's also smart to take a step back and let other people prove themselves and take care of manageable situations or problems on their own.
Try to recognize when someone is capable of doing something on his or her own and mind your own business to show that person the respect he or she deserves. There's a big difference between offering to help someone emotionally when he or she is going through a bad break-up and insisting on helping someone make cereal.
Be a good listener. Practice active listening to show people that you have respect for their opinions and ideas. Watch and be quiet when someone else is talking and spend time thinking actively about what they're saying.
Too often, we wait to talk instead of really listening to other people's ideas. Even if you think you disagree, try to consider the point of view and empathize with it before responding. You're showing respect to the person by hearing them out and letting them make their own case. You might be surprised.
Ask lots of questions. To show respect for other peoples' opinions, question them. Ask open-ended, leading questions that show you're fully engaged with their ideas and that you're listening closely. Questioning doesn't mean that you're trying to poke holes in their story, or that you don't believe them. Ask for more when it seems like they might have more to give.
Instead of asking for more details, ask about how someone feels about a particular topic. If someone's telling a story, ask "How'd you feel afterwards?" Even if you think you know, let them tell you. Let them make their own case.
Learn to spread the wealth. If it seems like someone isn't talking much in a group conversation, ask them a specific question to open the door for communication. You don't need to draw attention to it by saying something like, "You're awfully quiet, Steve" just say, "Steve, what did you think of the Super Bowl?"
Learn about the perspectives of others. Learning to empathize with other people who have very different experiences and perspectives than your own will help you learn to show respect. Be proud of your own opinions and perspectives, but don't assume everyone feels the same way and avoid putting them in an awkward position. Temper your attitudes and learn where people are coming from before you share your opinions so you can know how to respond.
While it might seem easy to make a casual comment about how "dumb" football is in a mixed group, you can never know if someone's recently-deceased grandfather made a living as a ref and loved the sport dearly.
Try softening your arguments the first time you bring something up. If you think college football is a vicious and disgusting money trench, package that message in a respectful way and voice it, even if others will disagree: "It worries me that so much money is funneled into student athletes at the expense of other more important things. What do you think?" Show respect for their opinion by sharing your own and listening to their argument.
Perhaps there's little use in arguing with your great uncle about gay marriage for the umpteenth time. Will it be worth it to bring it up at the dinner table?
Respectfully disagree. When you have to dissent, do it calmly and by treating your conversation with tact. Respect the perspective of the other person. Don't insult their opinion or ideas, even if you disagree with them.
Try to acknowledge common ground before adding your disagreement. Straight with praise and then move to your addition to the conversation. Even something as simple as "That's a good point. I think I'm seeing it a little differently though..." does the trick in lightening your disagreement.
Be specific with your critique, avoiding simple or insulting language like "You're wrong" or "That's dumb."
Take care of yourself. To show respect for yourself, Try to give yourself the same consideration that you give everyone else. Don't short-change your own ideas and wants at the expense of others. You're worth it.
Know when to ask for help. Have respect for your own abilities and skills, but learn to recognize when you're out of your element. Don't make it harder on yourself than you need to.
Treat yourself to well-deserved trips and gifts every now and again. Spend time with your friends and do fun things in your free time.
Avoid self-destructive behaviors. Drinking to excess on a regular basis or habitually self-deprecating yourself will tear you down in mind and body. Try to work actively to build yourself up and surround yourself with encouraging, enlightening, helpful people.
Are your friends the kind of people you want to be around? Do they ever criticize you or Try to keep you down? Consider moving on.
Stay healthy. Make regular visits to the doctor to make sure you're healthy and fit. Take care of health problems as soon as they arise and don't put off "bad news." Avoiding the doctor's office because you don't like it isn't showing respect for yourself and your own well-being.
Exercise regularly and eat well. Start developing easy routines, even walking a few miles a day or doing some light stretches to get in touch with your body and maintain it. Cut out junk foods and eat a variety of nourishing foods.
Stand up for yourself. When you want something, go out and get it. Don't let your fear about stepping on toes get in the way of making things happen that will better your life and achieve something positive for yourself. If you've got an opinion, share it. If you want to change jobs, start a band, or take up acting in your 40s, do it. Make a decision and follow through.
Be ambitious. We all get caught in ruts, many of them of our own making. Develop plans for yourself and specific steps for carrying them out. Plot an upward trajectory for yourself to keep yourself moving forward in life and staying satisfied. Show respect for yourself by being the best version of yourself you can be.
Consider making a five-year plan to get where you want to go. If you're a student, what are your college plans? Your after college plans? How might you realistically achieve those goals?
If you're in the working world, are you happy in your job? Are you doing what you love? What would it take to get paid for your passion? How long would it take to make it happen? Is it possible? Answer these questions honestly and specifically to develop a plan of success.
Don't judge people before you get to know them. Give people the benefit of the doubt, even people of whom you might have a bad first impression. Everyone is fighting a big fight. Assume they have good reasons for being the way they are, doing what they do, and believing what they believe.
Decide to like people. It's too easy to come up with reasons to dislike someone, to disrespect someone, or to dismiss them. Instead, look for the spark and the warmth in people. Decide to like them, and it'll be much easier to show respect.
Translate a person's quirks into strengths to help change your attitude. Instead of thinking, "That person is mouthy and egotistical" say "That person really speaks her mind. I like that spark."
If you can't say anything nice...well, you know. Keep a lid on it sometimes. Learn to distinguish between confrontations that need to happen and silly arguments. You'll keep yourself sane and earn the respect of others by learning to keep quiet. Don't get dragged into the muck.
Worry about your own backyard. Don't get mixed up in other peoples' business and create unnecessary enemies. Busybodies make quick enemies, usually because there's not enough going on to keep them occupied. Stay busy and keep your life full of interesting and engaging activities so you don't have the time and energy to worry about what your neighbors are doing, or how your classmates are doing on their homework.
Take up new hobbies and spend less time on Facebook. Getting your stalk on is a good time filler, but it can breed resentments and jealousies where none need be.
Reach out. Giving people you don't like the cold shoulder may be the easiest way to avoid confrontations, but it can also be cruel and rude, especially in school or at work where everyone likes to feel included. You don't have to be best friends, but respect people by including them.
Aim for at least one friendly attempt with people you don't especially like. "How are you today?" will at least show that you're trying. You might even change the way you feel.
If we lose our self control, how can we respect others?
The question ought to be how can others respect you if you lose self control. The ball is in your court completely––you are the master or mistress of your own behavior and of whether or not you lose self control. Find the source of what really caused you to lose self control and work on yourself, to earn the respect and not expect others to conform to your frustration.
How can respect make someone successful?
Respect can make someone successful because respect is a form of acknowledgement that a person is reliable, trustworthy, caring and thoughtful of the needs of others. Respect also comes when a person displays the best of human behavior, which is always something most people strive for, so to see it modeled well in a person is attractive and helps that person to seem successful.
My hubby is very stubborn and he always tells me that I don't know anything and am good for nothing. How do I show my love and respect towards him?
You are clearly a good person who is being mistreated. The fact that you want to show him love and respect despite the fact he is failing to show you the same reveals your good heart. Tell him straight that he is not to talk to you in such a disrespectful manner and that you are a good person. If he continues to verbally and emotionally abuse you in this manner, consider seeking counseling.
How should I show respect when doing business?
Be considerate of others' time - respond promptly and be on time to work. Acknowledge your coworkers' ideas and team contributions. Remember not to brag unnecessarily when speaking to employees beneath you.
Why is respecting others' opinion important?
Respecting others allows for open communication so there can be an understanding of other people and the reasons they believe what they do.
An adult told me I was being disrespectful for something that, in my opinion, is not actually disrespectful. I've tried changing my behaviors and the words that I use, but she continues to think I'm disrespectful. What should I do?
Talk to her about the effort you're making. Feel free to (calmly) point out that you feel she is being unfair. You should make every effort to be respectful to this person, but it's also an important lesson to learn that you can't please everybody.
How can I show that I don't feel like I'm better than everyone?
Just don't act like you're better than others, that's all. Don't brag, be humble, acknowledge/compliment others, etc.
How can I respect someone who does not respect me?
First, create safety for yourself in the relationship. Identify your boundaries with the person and enforce the boundaries. This may mean "no contact." Find a friend or other support such as a counselor. Nurture "the golden rule." Treat them as you would like to be treated while keeping respectful boundaries. Pray for yourself and the person and dislike the behavior, not the human being behind the behavior. Ask for God's help.
How can I respect my husband when he barely speaks to me?
Your husband needs to respect you as well and should speak to you. You can try talking to him about it. Otherwise, just do your best to be considerate, don't do anything disrespectful, etc.
Why do many times when we show respect to others and show praise someone they start to act arrogantly and proud and better than all, making me regret to give importantance to such lowly characters?
Inflated egos are a pain to deal with, but sometimes they are a call for help. Sometimes people do this because they want so badly to stand out from the crowd or they rely on affirmation from others to determine their self worth. Ignore them, it will let them know they wont get the attention they crave.
To show respect, try to be sincere and a good listener when you talk to people since it shows that you care about what they're saying. Also, compliment people when they do something impressive so they know their hard work didn't go unnoticed. If someone helps you out, send them a thank you note and offer to return the favor. Just make sure you follow through on your promise or you could come across as disrespectful. To learn how to show yourself respect, scroll down!

Qualmark Tourism Business Advisor, Kevin Gough, could well be described as one of the accommodation sectors most recognisable figures. Having worked in tourism for 40 years (something that "scares and surprises" him), Kevin has crossed paths with operators the length and breadth of the country.
"I've been told I'd be probably the worst person in New Zealand to be an accommodation mystery shopper," jokes Kevin of his 'profile' in the industry.
Kevin has considerable experience in the tourism sector, particularly within commercial accommodation, having been the General Manager of Best Western Hotels & Resorts, Golden Chain Motels and TOP 10 Holiday Parks over the past 20 years – chains that were all Qualmark partners.
"I have been an advocate of Qualmark since its inception in 1993. For me it was a natural step to work with Qualmark and do my best to add value to a broad range of commercial accommodators," he says.
As a Qualmark Tourism Business Advisor, Kevin travels extensively. His 'catchment' covers Qualmark licence holders from Wanganui to Dunedin.
"I never tire of spending time on property with managers, occasionally I encounter one who is a bit sceptical about the process, but over the assessment I try to find out where they are coming from and deliver on those issues. If we can inject even a few fresh ideas, suggestions and challenges, most managers will see the value in our accreditation."


General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, has assured all participants at the church's forth-coming national Easter retreat of God's special intervention in all spheres of their lives.
Pastor Kumuyi, who expressed optimism that God would visit His people in a mighty way, announced that the event with the theme, 'Experiencing the Power of His Cross', would take place from Thursday, March 24 to Sunday, March 27, 2016 at the Deeper Life Conference Centre (DLCC) on KM 48, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He also said the programme would take place simultaneously in all state, region and local government camp grounds in Nigeria, other locations in Africa and beyond.
In a statement, Kumuyi, who has devoted all his life to the preaching of the gospel and liberation of the repressed and oppressed across the globe through the unstoppable power of God, assured that just as the curtain of the temple (in Jerusalem) was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook and the rocks split the moment Jesus breathed His last on the rugged cross, even so shall all participants have their life challenges torn asunder and uprooted at the retreat.
"All around us, we hear stories of anguish, terror, sadness and hopelessness. Frustration is written on the faces of many people; there are dashed expectations, misery and confusion. It has become clear to many people that there is no solution from man. We hear about kidnapping, assassinations, barefaced wickedness, and we experience insecurity and extreme poverty. Many people who placed their trust and hope in earthly authorities have had their hopes dashed. The world, we can safely say, is in turmoil. These are the fulfilments of the scriptures. Yet, in Christ's Cross lies the ultimate solution to the temporal and eternal challenges of mankind. The Bible remains our compass in these perilous times. We are comforted by the assurance that the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits," Kumuyi said.
The General Superintendent said beyond seeking a prosperous life here, every human creation of God should rather concern him/herself with the life hereafter.
"Worldly attainments will fade away, whereas the word of God remains forever. Therefore, as Christians and sincere and earnest seekers, we must constantly feed ourselves with God's word, which must be our guide, and by so doing; live a life that pleases Him, leading genuine followers of Christ into the Portals of heaven ultimately. No matter what we are in life, it cannot be compared to a life that has no end, which is as blissful as it is glorious with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That is our ultimate goal," he said.
The retreat, the statement added, would be streamed live via satellite from DLCC to other centres in Nigeria, Africa, Europe, America and other continents of the world, where the church has its branches.
"Like previous editions, the event will meet the diverse needs of participants, as testimonies of supernatural deliverances have always been a common place at the event," the release stated.

Home Tips Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Trains For the Subsequent Degree
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Trains For the Subsequent Degree
Jonathan Taylor started his first season at Indianapolis last year and faced many unique challenges. Not only was he dealing with a new team, game, and environment – plus a dramatically reduced training camp – but his running colleague Marlon Mack was injured during their first game. This meant that most of the backfield responsibility lay on the rookie's shoulders. He has risen to the occasion, reaching an impressive 1,169 yards with 12 touchdowns.
Despite having the third most frequent yards in the league, Taylor still saw room for improvement this season. "This is no longer a high school or college ball – you are now playing against the best in the world," said Taylor, who was drafted 41st overall by the Colts. "Every little ledge you can find is important. Now that I've had a decent period of off-season training, I wanted to make sure I was ready from day one. "
To find that benefit, Taylor turned to his trainer Adam Boily at The System 8 and a one-of-a-kind cold experience with Under Armor performance expert Paul Winsper. Men's Journal spoke to the 226-pound record-breaker about his level of competition, personal strategies, and the workouts that got him ready to play.
Men's Journal: How would you sum up the physical toll of an NFL running back?
Jonathan Taylor: Every position in the sport has its challenges – physically and mentally – but as a running back you have no idea what you're going to be running at on every move. Depending on the call, a £ 300 defensive lineman might fall on you or a £ 250 running start linebacker that you might have to block. Maybe you have your hands open to catch a flat route – and the same linebacker is walking towards you with your head turned the other way.
The kind of hits we take for the team are one of a kind. Coming from the backfield you have to run between the tackles and sometimes be able to break through them. That means strength, power and stamina. These 15-play drives take their toll when you don't have them in your tank.
Did you seek advice from anyone after you were drafted?
To be in the league has always been my dream. Once I had that moment, the next goal was to live the dream for as long as possible. So how do i do this? That's the first thing I asked the real veterans on the team. Guys like Xavier Rhodes, Justin Houston and another full-back Roxie Nix who recently retired. I asked a lot of questions, including with the players I share the running back room with – Marlon Mack, Nyheim Hines and Jordan Wilkins. I listened to them, applied their advice to my routine, and kept what worked. Whether it's a drink, a stretch, or a weekly exercise. Then it was time to find my own roadmap. There i am now.
There have been some great games from you last season. Is there anyone that you are particularly proud of?
It should be against the Packers in week 11. That really went down. There was one ride where we tried to put the game down and every game was a run. We got five or six meters per run but got penalties that brought it back. This can be daunting, but I remember telling myself to see it as an opportunity to do more meters. That drive could have broken us, but we could fight our way back mentally and physically to take this win.
What were your goals for this 2021 season?
I wanted to be able to play my fastest from the start. Last year was a weird timeline, and there were nuances you couldn't learn until we threw real balls – so I couldn't play at full speed right away. This time I wanted. From that point on, my goal is to come back bigger, faster, and stronger each season.
You trained in an extensive "cold weather camp" with Paul Winsper at Under Armor. Sounds cool. What were the advantages?
Since I grew up in New Jersey and play for Wisconsin, I'm not that sensitive to temperature. I actually enjoy winter. But this cold weather training was a very different experience. Being in the mountains with these Navy SEALs opened your eyes. The cold doesn't really change, but your mindset can – so I used it as an opportunity to grow spiritually. Because when these double overtime games come, the team that does not break down mentally or fall victim to the constant pressure to perform wins. When those moments happen, some players stand on the sideline waiting for the game to be over and others don't care if they have to do seven overtime. They just want to win. That's the kind of player I want to be.
What led to your apprenticeship with Adam Boily at The System 8 – and what worked for you?
I met Adam in Fort Lauderdale during the spring college break. I was there with Melvin Gordon and Garrett Groshek, who I was with the Badgers. We only worked together for a week, but I remember thinking that if, under normal circumstances, I couldn't get to the Colts facility, this was the man I had to return to.
Adam's program is truly tailored to me and the needs of my position. Many coaches will try to throw you into the mix with other players in other positions. I know guys who like to focus on heavy weights, and that has its upsides. What I like about training with Adam is the inclusion of banded movements. It gives you that push-pull resistance with every move and that explosive power from all angles. This explosion is what many players lose over the course of a season.
Last season was a tough one. What do you do during and after recovery?
After a season like this, you have to spend a lot of time getting your body back into a state where you can actually train. Everything I do in the off-season is geared towards preparing myself mentally and physically for the challenges ahead. Additionally, the first thing I look for after a game is my recovery. I'm always one of the last to leave the locker room. Most players leave the field and go home. But I think after all this exposure, the most important time is to deal with the body's response. That's when I do my cold dives or stretches. The veterans told me that it's important to really enjoy those days off, but I'm itching to race again so I'm glad the season is here.

Preventing Blindness: A Vision of Technology
Photo courtesy by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
This project takes advantage of ORNL's proprietary content-based image retrieval technology, which quickly sorts through large databases and finds visually similar images.
In the blink of an eye, people at risk of becoming blind can be screened for eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Using a technology originally developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to understand semiconductor defects, Automated Medical Diagnostics (AMDx) of Memphis, Tennessee, hopes to establish locations that will allow patients to be screened for eye diseases in their primary care physician's office and other remote sites.
Less than half of the 21 million diabetics in the United States receive a recommended annual eye exam, which is critical to minimize serious eye complications and potential blindness. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2025, more than 1 million patients will need to be screened worldwide for diabetes every day. By 2050, the number of diabetics is expected to double.
To reach the goal of screening patients quickly and efficiently, there will have to be a major change in the health care delivery paradigm, but the AMDx Telemedical Retinal Image Analysis and Diagnosis (TRIAD) technology will allow millions of people to undergo screening, especially the indigent and those in medically underserved areas.
This technology has been used to scan thousands of tiny semiconductors to learn about problems in the manufacturing process for over a decade. The technique adapts this proven technology to describe key retinal regions, which can be used to index images in a content-based image retrieval library. What separates this method from others is the automation of diagnosing retinal disease by capturing ophthalmologists' knowledge in a patient archive.
Once the physician or technician has a picture of the eyes, the information is sent to a database, where it is compared to thousands of images of known retinal disease states. The system quickly determines whether the patient passes the screening or, if not, provides a follow-up plan that includes visiting an ophthalmologist.
While the plan is to begin with patients in Memphis and the Mississippi Delta, the goal is to have hundreds of cameras throughout the United States and beyond. If diseases can be detected early, treatments can preserve vision and significantly reduce occurrences of blindness. Over the next year, a more fully automated image analysis network to manage images nationwide will be rolled out. Eventually, the goal is to make this a global effort using automated technology and Internet connectivity.
This work was led by Ken Tobin of ORNL and Edward Chaum, an ophthalmologist and Plough Foundation professor of retinal diseases at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center Hamilton Eye Institute in Memphis. Other contributors include Tom Karnowski and Luca Giancardo of ORNL, Stacy Li of the UT Health Science Center in Memphis, and Karen Fox of the Delta Health Alliance.

De Blauwe poort is een artistiek kunstwerk in Amsterdam-West.

Na een grondige sanering in de buurt rondom de Van Beuningenstraat in de Staatsliedenbuurt, werd een deel van de straten autoluw gemaakt. Dit hield onder andere in dat een kruising tussen de Van Beuningenstraat, de Van Boetzelaerstraat en de Fannius Scholtenstraat deels haar functie verloor. Het punt waarop de Van Beuningestraat en Van Boetzelaerstraat samenkwamen was ooit een driehoekig plein waar twee stratenpatronen elkaar ontmoetten. Het noordelijke deel loopt daarbij enigszins parallel aan de Haarlemmertrekvaart; het zuidelijke aan de Kostverlorenvaart. In de loop der jaren werden delen van het plein afgesnoept ter faveure van de hier opgroeiende jeugd. Door Aldo van Eyck werd het pleintje bebouwd met onder andere duikelrekken, een iglo/klimkoepel en een tweetal stellingen van betonnen heipalen. Tijdens genoemde renovatie verdween ook de verbinding met de Fannius Scholtenstraat en de gemeente Amsterdam verzocht kunstenares Dicky Brand de plek op te fleuren middels een markant kunstwerk. Zij kwam met een reusachtige blauwe poort, die zijzelf Mariaboog noemde en de gemeente Staatsliedenpoort. Echter bij buurtbewoners werd het de Blauwe poort. Plaatsing van de boog stuitte op verzet van de Dienst Water en Riolering omdat er een rioleringsbuis op de beoogde plek lag, die altijd bereikbaar moest zijn. De boog kreeg daarom een gespleten fundering onder elke staander een. Het object is van gelakt verzinkt staal en beton.

Bij die herindeling ging een deel van de speelobjecten van Van Eyck verloren, maar de iglo/klimkoepel bleef staan. In 2004 moest de ruimte opnieuw ingedeeld worden. Aan de noordzijde van de punt was nieuwbouw gepleegd; de ruimte rondom de blauwe poort werd daarbij krapper.
