Kind Words Lead To Kind Thoughts
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
You can speak a million kind words to other people, but the ones that mean the most are the ones you speak to yourself. Those are the echoes you need to hear. This piece is hung as a daily reminder to me. Letting the ego and the devil speak words to you won't lead you or guide you to greater things. They both speak with selfish motives. Let the kind words of your heart speak and listen to those echoes. Let them overpower those of the ego. If you don't speak kind words to yourself, you will have no kind words to give anyone else. If you are telling yourself you are not good enough and that the past mistakes dictate the rest of your life, you will hear the echoes of all of the sins and they will wear you down. Be careful what you speak and what you hear.
Go out and speak kind words to those around you, and most importantly to yourself!!

Mark 1.21–28
…the unclean spirit recognises Jesus, yet the crowd's reaction focusses instead on Jesus' authority, not his demonically disclosed identity! Through this 'secret' readers are brought in on an insight that characters in the story fail to notice. The upshot is that neither the miraculous exorcism, nor even authoritative teaching, is sufficient for faith. This also underlines the fragility of the gospel promise that Jesus embodies. – David Schnasa Jacobsen, Mark (Fortress Biblical Preaching Commentaries), (Kindle Locations 973-975), Fortress Press, Kindle Edition.
Capernaum, on the shores of Lake Galilee, was where Jesus had made his home. It is in the synagogue of Capernaum that today's story is set. My wife and I were standing there in the ruined synagogue almost five years ago, on a journey to Israel. From memory, the current structure dates from somewhere around the third century. However, you can see at its base a darker stone which dates from the first century. Jesus would have seen this same stone.
This is the very site at which
the people who heard [Jesus] were amazed at the way he taught, for he wasn't like the teachers of the Law; instead, he taught with authority.
The people in Capernaum were amazed. Gobsmacked. At the way Jesus taught, and at his authority over the demonic spirit.
But amazement was not enough. It wasn't what Jesus was looking for.
Jesus isn't a primarily a miracle worker. Just a reminder of what Jesus was primarily on about: in last week's Gospel reading, he says
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.
Jesus wants us to recognise that a new day has dawned. God has come near to rule in human affairs. And this is Good News!
Jesus wants our faith. And faith in Jesus means accepting his authority over us. 'He taught with authority.' That amazed the people of Capernaum. They were used to the way the scribes spoke. They would quote an ancient authority, and say the people should accept that. Or they would weigh up what several ancient authorities said and try to make sense of their various opinions.
They didn't have an position of their own. Jesus did. Jesus could take a position because he spoke for God the Father. Jesus listened, and then spoke.
Perhaps the clearest example is in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus says five times, 'You have heard that it was said…but I say unto you…'
Each time, Jesus quotes the greatest authority of all, the Scriptures. And each time, Jesus either deepens or even changes what the Scriptures say.
He deepens the Scriptures:
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
And he changes them:
Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, 'You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.' But I say to you, Do not swear at all … Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No'; anything more than this comes from the evil one.
This is great authority.
How can Jesus do this?
Let's answer that first of all be looking at the Basis of Union of the Uniting Church. In paragraph 5, it says:
Christ who is present when he is preached among people is the Word of God who acquits the guilty, who gives life to the dead and who brings into being what otherwise could not exist.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God. That's just what the first verses of John's Gospel say:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.… And the Word became flesh and lived among us
The Word that was God from eternity, through which all life lives, became a human being. Jesus Christ.
The Basis of Union says that the Scriptures are
…unique prophetic and apostolic testimony, in which it hears the Word of God…
The Scriptures are central to our faith. They have authority because they witness to the One who has all authority, the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Word of God.
Paul tells us that Jesus has been given the highest name of all:
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
But it's not amazement he requires of us, it's faith. Faith is believing and trusting and allowing ourselves to be transformed into the image of Christ.
Sometimes, we think of faith as believing the right way.
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: 'Stop. Don't do it.'
'Why shouldn't I?' he asked.
'Well, there's so much to live for!'
'Like what?'
'Are you religious?' I asked.
He said: 'Yes.'
I said: 'Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?'
'Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?'
'Me too. Are you Presbyterian or Baptist?'
'Wow. Me too. Are you Presbyterian Church of God or Presbyterian Church of the Lord?'
'Presbyterian Church of God.'
'Me too. And are you Original Presbyterian Church of God, or are you Reformed Presbyterian Church of God?'
'Reformed Presbyterian Church of God.'
'Me too. Are you Reformed Presbyterian Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Presbyterian Church of God, Reformation of 1915?'
He said: 'Reformed Presbyterian Church of God, Reformation of 1915.'
I said, 'Die, heretic scum,' and pushed him off.
That's one idea of what faith is.
He doesn't have the right doctrine of the Trinity, or the Second Coming? He can't be a Christian!
He's soft on same sex marriage? He can't be a Christian!
But faith is walking through life with the One who has all authority. It's not about getting everything right.
Faith was two people, trudging their way to Emmaus after the crucifixion of Jesus. A stranger joins them and shows them the deep meaning of their Scriptures. When they arrive home, the stranger makes to move on, but they invite him in and discover who he is in the breaking of the bread.
Imagine if they hadn't invited him in? Would that have been faith?
Faith is a young woman, disturbed by an angel who tells her that she will bear the Son of God. She said 'Let it be'.
Imagine if Mary had said No? Would that have been faith?
The Book of James tells us very clearly that faith without works is dead. Jesus invites us to an active faith, and he invites us today.
Don't make the mistake of thinking faith is all about believing things. It's about trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ. And it's about what you do. It's about glorifying God by loving your neighbour as yourself.

Have you ever met someone briefly, but once you left them, you feel better for having encountering them?
Our lives are so busy, and everything is so fast pasted that often we will miss this brief encounters if we are not careful.
Such was the case almost two months ago, when I went on my first solo hike. Hiking is a wonderful way to slow down and just enjoying being. There are no phones, no hustle and bustle, and you honestly can't beat the views. The debate over hiking solo has gone on for years and I am sure will continue to carry on for many more. Even amongst the hiking community itself we are divided.
Some believe hiking alone is dangerous… which it is. Of course it is always going to be safer for me to have a companion. Most places are remote and without cell coverage, so if something happens to me, I have to rely on myself to get assistance. We are taught early on that there is safety in numbers and that mantra keeps several gripped in fear.
Others are of the opinion that the dangers of the trail are minute compared to the dangers of everyday life. This is the category I identify with. I wasn't always of this thinking, but I have found that most of the time I am safer out in the woods then I am sitting at my office desk.
Two months ago, I decided it was time for my first solo hike. I have been hiking for a while, but never gone alone. Honestly the opportunity had never risen for me to go alone. There has ALWAYS been someone to hike with. Being an extrovert, being alone is problem. I LOVE being social. My mouth is constantly moving and yapping.
When I announced that I was going solo….. you would have thought I had told people I was leaving for Mars on the first space ship out of here.
My sainted mother never batted an eye, but I could tell she did NOT like the idea at all. Her best friend, who is like my second mom, did not hide her emotions. She was a nervous wreck…. Once I told her, she immediately called my mother questioning my sanity and wondering why my mother was allowing such a thing. My mother informed her that the last she knew, you couldn't ground a 41 year old grown woman. 🙂
I admit, I was a little nervous, but the excitement I had FAR out weighed it. The hike was hard, REAL hard, but it was also the most wonderful and spiritual experience I had ever encountered. Spending time alone with God in HIS splendid creation was just what my hungry soul needed.
The journey was difficult. My body ached, and I didn't have my usual hiking partners there to help ease the monotony of the never ending climb. My legs, or stubs as I call them, are so short that my stride is not very long. For every one step a normal person takes, I take about 3. I was getting VERY discouraged. Maybe I should have someone with me. Maybe coming alone was stupid.
Throughout the day I met some wonderful folks. Each and every person I met encouraged me and made me feel a little better about my hike. All left me feeling encouraged and proud, but it was the person I met about 40 minutes into my decent back down the mountain that made the largest impact.
I was totally booking it back down the mountain, because I had stayed up top longer then I had really meant to and I knew my mom would be nutsy until she heard I had made it off the mountain safely. I actually thought I was keeping pretty good pace until this flash of hiking sticks and tufts of blond hair whizzed by me. At first I was furious that this hiker had snuck up on me, then he turned around and started a conversation.
I recognized him as one of the hikers I had seen up at the top immediately. While there, I had just randomly seen him walking around, taking pics and enjoying the beauty. But now I really noticed him for the first time. He had the kindest, sweetest face I think I had ever seen.
"Hey there!" he said like we were old friends.
"Hi" I moaned back.
"Sorry I flew by you… I had a little too much momentum."
I immediately began to relax. We spent the next 15 minutes discussing our hikes and what a beautiful day it had turned out to be. We discussed other trails we had done, and ones that were on our bucket list. 10 minutes in, I felt like I had been friends with this guy for years. It also did not hurt that I thought he was TOTALLY freaking adorable. 🙂
Before we parted ways (he was 10 times faster then me so there was no way I could keep up with him) he said something that spoke more to me then any other kind word I heard all day.
"Don't ever be fearful. You are already lapping those on the couch. Keep doing your thing. Don't worry about going slow..you'll get there. Thanks for the good conversation."
And with that, he was gone.
Those words resounded with me. I WAS doing better then the person sitting at home too fearful to get out and live life on their own. Instead of talking about what I wanted to accomplish, I WAS out there getting it done.
I many never see this gentleman again….. I hope I do, but these mountains are deep and wide and our trails may never cross paths again.
I only hope he knows how much he encouraged a weary, discouraged hiker, who was doubting herself and her decision to go out alone.
Take the time to enjoy those chance encounters…..you never know when you might just hear the words you need to hear, or maybe you can be the one doing the uplifting. If you are ever in the Smokies and you see the kind, (and very adorable) face of the hiker below, let him know that I am grateful for our Chance Encounter.

Human Resource Management is an integral part of any organization / company. It is a management function which is concerned with hiring, maintaining a workforce in an organization and motivating the employees. Human resource management is commonly known as HRM and it deals with issues related to employees which included hiring, training, compensation, development, motivation, and administration. Human resource management is a middle force which works hard to make a win-win situation both for employee and employer. It makes sure there is employee satisfaction and at the same time ensures the maximum contribution is given by employees towards the organizational achievement.
Human resource management can be classified into 3 categories :
- Operative functions
- Managerial functions
- Advisory functions
Operative Functions:
Recruitment and Selection – It's a procedure of selecting a right candidate for the right profile. This procedure helps in bringing together the pool of prospective candidates and helps the organization and management to choose the best suitable candidate.
Job Analysis & Design – Is the nature of a job and requirements like qualification, work experience, skills etc. to perform that particular job. Job design aims at organizing and outlining the tasks, responsibilities, duties into a single unit of work for the achievement of certain objectives.
Performance Appraisal – As the name suggests it mainly focuses on the performance of the employees and this function is conducted to ensure that the performance of the employee is at an acceptable level.
Training and Development – Training and development helps the employees to acquire knowledge and skills to perform their tasks effectively. These programs are performed both for existing and new employees. Apart from this, it helps employees to get trained and prepared for higher level responsibilities.
Wage and Salary Administration – Human resource management decides what is to be paid for the different type of jobs. Management also decides employees' compensation which includes – salary administration, wage administration, bonuses, incentives etc.
Employee Welfare – This function refers to the well being of employees which include various facilities, benefits, and services that are given to employees.
Maintenance – Employee turnover is not considered good for the organization. Human resource management always tries to retain the best performing employees with the organization.
Personnel Record – This function helps to maintain and retrieve records of an employee such as – application forms, working hours, employment history, earnings, attendance( absents and presents), employee turnover and other data related to employees.
Managerial Functions :
Human Resource Planning – This function of HRM works on research and it is considered as an important part of this function.
Directing – Employees are motivated and directed at different levels so that they can contribute maximum to the organization through motivation and command.
Controlling and Organizing – Actual performance of employees is checked and verified. If the performances are not up to the mark, control measures are taken to bring it under control. The tasks are allocated among its members so that they can collectively contribute to the organization.
Advisory Functions :
Advised to Top Management & Departmental Heads:
Advice is given to the top management by Personnel manager in formulation and evaluation of personnel programs, policies, and procedures. Also to various department heads on a matter such as recruitment, planning, manpower, training, performance, appraisals etc.

The constant comparison to her sister ,the sibling rivalry.
The process of waiting in all these situations was enacted by Anu in a moving, wrenching way as she bared her very soul. The audience related to her every move, every nuance, her poignant acceptance of her fate…the abject resignation of being medium … "sizewise, lifewise".
I am aware of my daughter's histrionic talents but I was curious to hear her scripting talent. This first attempt was quite brilliant. For once I was gobsmacked, like the rest of the audience. Take 35 is whimsical ,dramatic and interspersed with humour. Anu had forewarned us on this. She however, forgot to include the keyword… pathos. This sentiment gripped the audience. We identified with the sentiment and how. Deep into the night we were all thinking about Anamika and her struggle with self.

Petrobras strikes pre-salt oil in Marlim Sul area
Brazilian oil company Petrobras has made an oil discovery in the Campos Basin's pre-salt layer, in the area of Marlim Sul field.
This is the first commercial discovery of oil in the pre-salt layer of the Marlim Sul area. The discovery occurred during drilling of Poraquê Alto well, at final depth of 4,568 m.
The well which identified the discovery is located 115 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro State, at 1,107 m water depth.
The discovery was confirmed by profile data, gas detector, formation testing by cable, and fluid samples. The analysis of current data indicates carbonate reservoirs of good porosity and permeability features, at 4,420 m depth and 45 m thick with oil presence, Petrobras said.
"This result demonstrates the potential for new discoveries in mature basins, with production infrastructure already deployed," Petrobras said.
FPSO scrapped
Interestingly, this is not the first time this week Offshore Energy Today has reported on the Marlim Sul area.
OET on Wednesday published an article on SBM Offshore selling its previously demobilized FPSO Marlim Sul for recycling.
SBM said in its 2017 half-year financial results this week that the FPSO, removed from the Petrobras-operated oil field, was sold for recycling and transferred off the balance sheet in July 2017.
The FPSO Marlim Sul worked at the Marlim Sul field for Petrobras for over a decade before the end of service. The vessel had been delivered to SBM by Keppel, following a conversion from a VLCC in 2004.
Worth noting, the FPSO was not the only production unit at the field. Currently, Petrobras is using the P-56 semi-submersible platform for oil production at the Marlim Sul.

I have read all the letters sent to the editor as well as the opinion article by Ethan Rice and would like to respond to some ideas contained on this page.
I have been amazed by the number of evangelical leaders and lay people who support the Trump administration. Ethan Rice's column sheds some light on the issue when he quotes Jerry Falwell, Jr. asserting that you don't vote for someone because they are
good . . . but because of their policies. In other words, Falwell believes the political can be divorced from the personal. I believe the personal is the political. Beliefs, values, opinions, cannot be divorced from actions, and political actions include the support for and implementation of policies. I believe it is true that we speak out of what is in our hearts, and we act on our words.
A number of letters expressed confusion about why people are upset by the appearance of the Vice President at graduation. My husband explained it very clearly in his opinion piece last week, but let me repeat, many of us are opposed to the Vice President speaking at graduation because of his deep connection to the Trump administration. It is impossible for me to believe that one would accept an invitation to share the ticket unless you shared the values and visions of the President you are going to serve.
Several people also indicated they believe the vice president will not give a political speech. I think this is worth questioning. First, Pence has given graduation speeches before. In fact, last year he spoke at Hillsdale College commencement. Because Hillsdale is also a Christian college with a deep evangelical history, I read the text of that speech to get an idea what he might say. The speech is divided into three sections. In the first few paragraphs he compliments the institution, the administration and the students and talks about his education at a Christian college "not far from here." The second section of the speech is political, listing all the achievements of the Trump/Pence administration in the first two years and promising they will deliver even more good things in the future. He clearly identifies with the president's agenda. He concludes the speech by returning to the Christian ideas he began with.
Last year, the election of 2020 was two years away. This year, the President has been ramping up the campaign for his second term. The election cycle is well underway, and Trump means to win any way possible. Keeping his base intact is essential, and a significant part of that base is evangelical Christians. In my opinion, it is highly improbable that the Trump/Pence campaign would pass up this opportunity for a stump speech at an evangelical college.

Chances are, if you've taken a hike anywhere in Taos County, you've benefited from the work of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. From signage to benches to erosion control, the Corps …
Chances are, if you've taken a hike anywhere in Taos County, you've benefited from the work of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. From signage to benches to erosion control, the Corps keeps our trails in good shape. Now RMYC is asking for the community to turn out and support them in keeping their nonprofit organization in equally good shape.
The RMYC is having its 2018 Pathways Dinner and Auction Thursday (Oct. 11) at the Taos Mesa Brewing Mothership, 20 ABC Mesa Road, off U.S. 64 west. Doors open at 5 p.m. The event will feature a silent auction, dinner, and entertainment until 9 p.m. Tickets are $75 at the door or at youthcorps.org.
For this special event, Taos Mesa Brewing Mothership is closed to the public starting at 5 p.m. Closing its doors for one evening is no small feat for the popular venue, but Dan Irion, one of the four founding partners of TMB, said this benefit is worth it.
"We care about our community and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps is a very valuable part of this community," he said. "I have two kids who I take outdoors quite a bit. They make the trails better for us who live here and for those who visit. That indirectly benefits my business in the long run."
Irion also acknowledged that Taos has a lot of nonprofit organizations. "When I think of the quality that they give back to the community, I would put the Corps toward the top of that list."
The RMYC press statement reads: "We call our event Pathways because that is exactly what we do. We provide the training and inspiration for young adults to find a pathway to a career and education."
The silent auction at Pathways will likely inspire a lot of supporters.
"It's incredible; we have over 80 gifts. I'm telling people: 'Get your Christmas shopping done early,'" said Matthew Foster, director of development at RMYC. Among the list of goodies he ticked off were a Southwest Airlines ticket, a weekend getaway at The Blake Hotel in Taos Ski Valley, two free passes to any Taos Mesa Brewing-sponsored event and a gift certificate to nearly every restaurant in Taos.
The buffet dinner is prepared by Taos Pueblo caterer Henrietta Gomez. The menu is a traditional Pueblo feast serving red chile with pork, vegetarian green chile, chicos and beans, prune pies, and blueberry pudding. Nonalcoholic beverages are included with the ticket; the bar is open to Pathways guests.
Rocky Mountain Youth Corps' mission statement is to inspire young adults to make a positive difference in themselves and their communities.
It's easy to think of the Corps for their conservation work -- they even marched in this year's Fiestas Parade revving chainsaws to the delight of squealing children. But the Corps is so much more than that. Individuals aged 17-25 are paid for their work and given opportunities and experiences they can use for furthering an academic or workforce career.
Billy Knight is the chairman of the Corps board of directors. He is also a wealth management adviser of Knight Financial Limited in Taos since 1993.
Knight explained, "What a lot of people don't understand is that any federal grants received are primarily for the salaries of the workers. Not necessarily for the staff, but for the young adults who are out working in the field. They are all paid a fair wage. But in many situations, the grantees only consider certain aspects of the pay scales, so we have to raise additional funds."
The theme of this year's Pathways event is "Celebrating Diversity." Yet, Taos already is a diverse culture. Executive Director Ben Thomas agreed: "We are harnessing and reflecting diversity in our programs. This event is for people to come out and see that the Corps is doing some new things this year."
Thomas will share about the new partnership with Not Forgotten Oureach to engage veterans in its new agriculture venture. "We have a crew on the ground to farm Mitchell Pasture," which is a newly acquired parcel of land off Paseo del Pueblo Norte across from Cid's Market. He also cited a new partnership with Assistance Dogs of the West for training service dogs, and deaf and hard-of-hearing programs.
"We want to use this moment in time to highlight the diversity in our programming. A lot of people know us for our chainsaws. We're bigger than that," Thomas said.
The Corps started in Taos almost 20 years ago. Since then it has grown and expanded to include an Albuquerque office.
Foster noted that Rocky Mountain Youth Corps is open to anyone who wants to apply. They have only the most minimal of requirements.
"We provide professional certifications and a workforce development curriculum. Everybody leaves Rocky Mountain Youth Corps with a résumé and cover letter, and with basic life skills that makes them employable: teamwork, communication and showing up for work," he said.

Our products are sent to our customers frozen because when we started the business we looked into convenience for our customers. We found that sending the produce frozen meant that they could order for instance a month's worth of produce and could go into their freezer until they are ready to use it. It also meant that there was less risk to the meat whilst been delivered as fresh meat can be delicate and risky.
All of our meat is butchered in house. In December 2018 our in-house butcher was built which means that we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.

The Rubber Room is the name for the places where New York City teachers who are under disciplinary investigation are sent to await their. For months -- sometimes years, and sometimes decades, these teachers go to "work" every day in a mostly bare room, and wait, and wait, and wait. Even if exonerated, many of these teachers are so stigmatized that they have to switch careers. Sounds like something out of Sartre or Kafka, but it's just New York.
Here's a documentary on the Rubber Room, made by an ex-teacher who was sentenced to it.

Roberto Antonio Flores
National University of Santiago del Estero , Argentina
Title: Impact on Chest Trauma UTI
Dr. Roberto Antonio Flores has been graduated from National University of Tucuman, Argentina as Medical Doctor, with the specialties including Internal Medicine, Social and Community Medicine and Diploma in Cardiology from the National University of Tucuman and Medical Clinic National Academy of Medicine Argentina. Later on he obtained his post-graduation from National University of Cuyo with subjects Pharmacology & Biology and then started working at The Nurses School, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Health, National University of Santiago del Estero, Argentina where he has continued his research. Presently he has been working at the Regional Hospital Dr. Ramon Carrillo, Santiago del Estero City. He has got eminent memberships in many Scientific Societies including Internal Medicine and Cardiology at the Society of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, Membership of Argentina Federation of Cardiology, Membership of Hypertension Committee of Argentina Federation of Cardiology, Membership of Inter American Society of Cardiology and Board of Epidemiology of Inter American Society of Cardiology.
Introduction: Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death in the first four decades of life. It is estimated that one in four deaths from trauma corresponds to a rib injury. 70-80% of them are usually secondary to blunt and vehicular collision. Nearly two thirds are associated with other injuries, preferably head injuries, or abdominal trauma, which increases its complexity and priority both in establishing procedures and diagnostic and treatment. OBJECTIVES: 1. Characterize the population admitted to ICU Versatile and chest trauma. 2. Analyze the evolution of patients with single thoracic trauma that occurs with trauma associated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional. It was performed from March 2008 to December 2011 (28 months). The medical records of 149 patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit Multipurpose Adults (UTIA) with chest trauma, period analyzed. Variables analyzed: sex, age, signs of alcohol intoxication to causes different type of injury, single chest trauma or associated with other injuries, ventilation, complications, mortality. Statistical analysis: Mean and percentages as summary measures for qualitative variables. RESULTS: Of 149 patients with thoracic trauma admitted to UTIA, 25 were women (16.78%) and 124 men (83.22%) with a mean ISS average age of 29.03 and 33.46 years. Among the causes were found: vehicular collision falls and stab wounds and fire. Many cases associated with probably signs of alcohol intoxication (ethyl encouragement and rescue SNG). Pulmonary contusion accounted for 53.02% (n = 79), with a mortality rate of 48.10% (n = 38). The 95.97% (n = 143) had associated trauma (Trauma skull, abdomen, pelvis, long bones, vascular, spinal cord injuries), the highest percentage Trauma Brain Injury (TBI) in 78.52% (n = 117). The mortality of the population analyzed with Thoracic Trauma was 31.54% (n = 47), all with associated trauma (100%). TEC high impact on mortality with 72.34% (n = 34) was demonstrated. The most frequent infectious complications were directly related to the length of hospitalization. CONCLUSION: The mortality of thoracic trauma in UTIA was higher in patients with associated trauma (especially with TEC) and vehicular collision. Most were young men with signs of alcoholic intoxication income. The most common thoracic injury was pulmonary contusion. Patients with single chest trauma had a better prognosis and no deaths. Moto vehicular collision is the leading cause of death at an early age in our province so it remains of aramount importance to emphasize primary prevention measures. We consider policies to prevent and reduce trauma for this cause should focus on education, applying reasonable standards and monitoring compliance.

Hubert H. Humphrey Terminal Parking Ramp
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Metropolitan Airports Commission
SRF Consulting Group, Inc.
Delivery Method
General Contractor
1.8 million sq. ft.
Completion of the $90 million parking ramp, which houses more than 4,500 cars at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport, was an all-out race from the beginning. The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) had an aggressive 13-month schedule for a project that would typically take two to three years. Knutson's craftspeople worked 8—16 hour days in temperatures that went from 95 to below zero with no lapse in productivity or quality.
The project was part of a multi-phased plan developed eight years earlier as part of MAC's objective to increase traveler and employee parking. It was regulated by eight separate project milestones ranging from demolition of the old ramp through roadwork and construction of the light rail station. Throughout the project Knutson implemented over 200 owner directed changes and requests, impressing the owner and construction manager with
their productivity.
The eight-story ramp has two helixes and an 11-story core elevator tower, 1,600 columns and an almost unfathomable amount of concrete—approximately 72,500 cubic yards. That's an estimated 7,300 to 8,500 trucks
of concrete.

Fall 2019 Ready-to-WearGreta Constantine
Dubai is known for its duality: a nightlife epicenter where religion plays a key role in everyday life. The UAE's most populous city provided all the inspiration Greta Constantine designers Kirk Pickersgill and Stephen Wong needed for Fall. The duo, who visited the region for the first time in December, was struck by the elegant way in which both men and women approached dressing. With that in mind, the designers headed into Fall with renewed energy, ditching the '70s influences of their previous collection in favor of modern eveningwear with a relaxed vibe. The majority of the pieces were easy and appealing options for a night out: A black satin jumpsuit with a loose cut will always look good, but it doesn't require the diligence of, say, a skintight cocktail dress.
Pickersgill and Wong also used Fall as an opportunity to delve into two of fashion's current obsessions, sustainability and modest dressing. The first they tackled by digging into their personal cache for fabrics they'd loved in seasons past but hadn't utilized to their fullest potential. "Some of these we've had in our archive for the past five or six years, so it made sense to find new ways to use them," said Wong. In considering their footprint, they found smart ways to approach textiles that have become conventional. Bouclé, the mainstay of little black jackets everywhere, was presented as a multicolor puffer that could be layered over a matching skirt for maximum wintry glamour. "We didn't want it to seem old or conventional," said Pickersgill. "It's a material everyone knows and loves, but by changing the shape, it felt different."

This was originally posted as a thread on Twitter. I've republished on my blog for archival purposes.
Luminary, who recently made a big splash in the podcasting space by announcing their paywalled podcast network, doesn't want to be the Netflix of podcasting. They want to be HBO. Netflix got its start with other people's content, not their own. Luminary is boasting about all the original content they're producing. But what they're really after is trying to silo content and trap users into paying monthly for it.
Brief tangent for some snark: With $100 – $140 million in investor money, don't you think they could have hired a copyeditor to make sure the words made sense on their website?
If their business / investor's motivation truly was "we really want to create better shows", then I'm all for this approach. But what they are really after is more money from podcasting. Investors and business are annoyed they can't control podcasting as it is, so it's "broken".
They look at apps like @pocketcasts, @overcastfm, etc. and think, like most tech startups, "I can do better… we just need more money and more engineers" and ignore the years of development that have already gone into those apps to make them as good as they are today.
Why would Trevor Noah, Lena Dunham, or Russel Brand need a paywall to have a successful* podcast if it isn't for the big signing bonus they got to go exclusive? (* successful meaning they enjoy doing it and it also helps promote their brand/latest show/etc.)
I'm ranting now but what gets me frustrated is the arrogance of Silicon Valley / NYC tech folks thinking they can fix a problem that nobody outside of Silicon Valley / NYC thinks is broken.
For the record: I don't blame the podcasters for wanting to get paid. If someone came along and gave me $80k/year to record one of my podcasts, I'd happily take it. Use that year to grow my skills, hone my craft, build an audience with their marketing budget and come out the other side when it all crashes or gets bought up with, at the very least, a ton of experience someone else paid for, and possibly a bigger audience than when it started.
I'm sure there's some dollar value that you could give any indie podcaster where they'd put their show behind a paywall for a time period. Just like Apple effectively buying up all the initial copies of U2's Songs of Innocence album – everyone has a price.
All the podcast pundits in the world can't predict what will happen exactly. The fact that more big money is pouring into podcasting is a sign of a boom to some, or a sign that a bust is coming… eventually.
Like blogging. It's still alive and well, but the big money investment for it has moved on to other things. They sucked all the stupid deals out of that vertical and moved on. The indie folks are still trucking along, doing their thing, writing, and making a living.
In tech, as in life, we're doomed to repeat ourselves if we don't learn from our past.

It's still rather difficult for users of any OS to find good DVD and/or Blu-Ray ripping software. And we do mean any OS – Windows, Linux, Mac, Endless, you name it. However, there is one program that's got you covered, namely MakeMKV. Remember to keep it in beta if you don't want to pay. Why? Because even in only beta, MakeMKV is the best ripper out there right now.
Now, MakeMKV will probably be of more help to you folks who didn't invest good coin in a decent ripping app. Whether you're a bit late on the format changes or don't have the hard drive space for 50+GB files, consider this opportunity. In two clicks, MakeMKV will decrypt, rip, and convert your DVDs and Blu-Rays.
And how does it work? Well, first you pop in the CD of your choice. Next, you click on the icon to choose either the DVD or the Blu-Ray option. Finally, you hit Make MKV, wait about half an hour, and you've got yourself a beautiful little .MKV file. In addition, you can play this file on the vast majority of video players, like VLC or XBMC. Furthermore, you have the option of editing individual chapters or edit a few preferences or so. However, if all you need is a decent, simple rip, the basics are enough for you.
MakeMKV is free for every OS, and you can download it at their official site, http://makemkv.com. Now we did stress that it's free in beta only, but we should highlight that it's for Blu-Ray rips. DVD rips are free even outside of beta. Don't wait, rip today!

Farmhouse Cheese
Farmer's cheese, also know as Dutch Farmhouse Cheese, is traditional cheese made on the farm. In the Netherlands there still are some 3000 farmers' families who make farmhouse cheese from the milk of their own cows. The milk that is used is day fresh and comes directly from the cow. The cheese therefore is sometimes called raw milk cheese. Traditionally it usually is the farmer's wife who makes the cheese, and often to her own recipe and method. And the feed, the grass and the soil differ from farm to farm too. All this gives farmer's cheese its strong, unique taste. Be surprised by this delicious cheese.

Monday, June 9th: my jumbo postcards just came in! A collection of the US post office's super hero designs back when 1-ounce stamps cost just 39 cents. (What year was that? You tell me.) I originally wanted these so I could print more content on them, than I could on a standard postcard. Intended for Larkin of course, until I realized I could just tape a printout on the image side of each smaller card, thus allowing me twice the space than on the address side. You can see the results in my previous blog post. Well, I still felt driven to purchase the jumbos, even after that realization. I still didn't know why I succumbed to this additional purchase, until two days after ordering them:
Why of course! I'll print out my entire appeal to the bar managers, and tape it to the front. Better than a regular letter in a sealed envelope. Since this way, exposure to my fundraising plea could reach more curious eyes before the manager gets a hold of it.
Certainly, in my struggles to get our local community to repair Larkin's teeth and promote him as a professional party mixer, I need to maximize the odds of reaching the right person or people. I think the demand to be as clever as possible arises from the challenge to celebrate (and thus restore) a friendship, in which the battle is uphill all the way. Add to that a blustery wind of hostile opposition…including My Own Celtic Demon! So here's the box it came in:
And the back:
Just opened:
This is how my printout looks, when attached to the jumbo card. Click on image to read the actual letter:
And these last two pictures show the postcard collection itself (minus "The Flash" shown above). Click on either image for a larger view:
So that Monday afternoon returning from "Bean There" coffeehouse, I slapped together My Six Jumbo Wishes, then hustled on over to the local post office on 18th Street:
The clerk observed Larkin's address on the envelope that contained a Father's Day card. He frowned a moment, then clacked away at the keyboard.
"Oh, that's 101 Hyde Street!"
I suddendly lit up: "Finally! My lover's a detective, and he likes to toss me all kinds of challenges. I could never find out the street address, but my mail still gets through. Nothing on the web, even when I search for the full 9-digit code. And the Inner Sunset PO, I asked them to look up the zip code, but they still couldn't find the street."
With a sigh of gratitude, I thanked him. He handed me 7 postage stamps (one for the weighty Father's Day card that also contained a DVD copy of the film "The Congress," and six for those jumbo postards). One stamp depicted a lily, the rest were of Harvey Milk.
So now I gotta go check out the location of 101 Hyde…maybe hang out nearby and surprise Larkin. Perhaps there's a little cafe across the street, where I can watch, Maybe snap a photo of Larkin entering the building…print it out and paste the pic on a jumbo postcard and send it off. And this time, with the street name in the address.
Friendly Ghost Detective Agency always gets his man! (Whether in the jail or in the sack, I got his number and he's got my back.)
Well dontcha know, on my way back home strolling up Noe Street: here came Larkin meandering down my way. Of course, I was most curious to see whether or not he'd speak, or gesture something. As we grew near, he lowered his head in passing. I guess he's not gonna talk to me. I decided this time around to remain silent, like strangers. Half-a-block later, I turned round to see him grow distant in his approaching 18th Street (probably on his way to Moby Dick). He turned his head back to see if I followed (or possibly just to acknowledge me). I waved a hand and smiled. Where I've been standing in the same spot all along, gazing wistfully at my objet d'amour. Another 20 yards before he turned the corner and vanished, he peered at me yet once more, to see me standing at that same spot. Then he was gone.
As I continued hovelward, I surmised that Zachary had by now read my letter to him, as well as my fundraising idea to the newspapers. Both were enclosed in that ziplock baggie I handed him at Moby Dick, three days ago. (BTW Larkin, thanks for not himiliating me as usual, when I stepped into that bar…very big of you. I guess because you actually summoned me there, to give my gift to Zachary.) Probably, then, Larkin also read it, or Zachary conveyed its essential content to him. Which means that–by the time our paths had crossed once more (just after my posting the jumbo cards)–Larkin was well aware of my attempts to rally the locals around my fundraising scheme. And how it will likely put him on the spot regarding our own, increbile association since 2006. Including my criticism of wealthy patrons who adore him for his wit and good looks. Yet allow years to pass while his teeth drop out, and a great career as party mixer goes down the tubes.
But I also surmise that Larkin's telepathic antennae inspired him to let me get another bounteous glimpse of his darling self, shortly after I exited the post office. His unique way of saying, "thank-you for sending off those jumbo postcards, and taking big risks for my sake." Prayer is worthless without action, and I certainly do follow through. So now we must sit and bide our time, to see what sort of brouhaha I get from the managers (and the gay papers). If any. *sigh*
[ Fractured Fairytale Reader: buried among all my present musings is my theory that Larkin is a gumshoe, preparing to bust the remainder of a dangerous cult. Which theory I've discussed numerous times in past articles, but not recently. This would explain his elusive and sometimes antagonistic behavior towards me. Yet sporadically, he'd say or do something to lift my spirits, keep my hopes up high. Thus, these evasive maneuvers are for my own protection: to deflect our enemies from targeting yours truly any more (as they did back in our SOMA days, see my chapter in Book 1, "The Phone Call"). Perhaps even his housemate Zachary numbers among these curs. Thus, Larkin must step gingerly in order to keep him off my tail. So why does he live with him (you ask)? Ever hear the saying "Stay close to your friends, even closer to your enemies?" Perfect strategy for a private eye! And consider this too, O Haphazordous Reader: if my detective hunch is correct, Our Divine Dragon deserves all the love and support This Poor Humble Queer can muster! I can't imagine the kind of danger he is in, placing himself as he has, smack dab in the center of a gay cult! So I cheer him on via whatever method I can…if not in person, then by postcards and letters. And praying, yes, lots and lots of praying. ]
UPDATE: Now that several hours have flown since my last encounter with Satan this afternoon around 3 o'clock, I grow more joyful in spirit. The sight of him is still sinking in…and as it does, my heart sings like a nightingale, and hummingbird wings sprout from these weary shoulders! And Michael J. croons "Remember the Time" (in a video I downloaded from Youtube) from my USB speaker. Good ganja. Thank you, Chris!

I have bought these shoes three time already for the past couple of years. They hold up great and look great. They are also extremely comfortable.

In the wake of interrogations into the issues of 'monumental' fraud and missing cash in the office of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), another official has blamed the ongoing Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria's North-East for his inability to account for N613,000 belonging to the board.
How 'Strange Snake' Swallowed N36 Million In JAMB Office In Benue
The Yobe State Coordinator, Sanusi Atose, made this known when he was invited by an administrative panel on financial management set up by JAMB to grill some of its officials saddled with the responsibility to manage public funds.
It is understood that nine officials of the board – including one of its staff, Philomina Chieshe, from Benue State, who claimed that a 'mystery snake' allegedly swallowed N36million cash kept under her watch – were probed and subsequently indicted by the administrative panel.
Mr. Atose was summoned to Abuja to appear before the administrative panel led by Registrar Ishaq Oloyede to explain the disappearance of the cash after he received registration scratch cards of that amount.
But in his explanation, the official claimed an alleged Boko Haram attack in Yobe State left him unable to account for the money.
JAMB Suspends Worker Who Said Snake Swallowed N36Million In Its Markudi Office
Premium Times quoted him as saying that tellers, receipts and invoices were destroyed in the attack, adding that he was left with no documentation for the transaction.

— tolu ogunlesi (@toluogunlesi) February 15, 2018
Dismissing his claims, Prof. Oloyede, described his statement as another disingenuous cover-up for fraud.
"Kindly go and pay government money within one week, else you will be in trouble," the registrar told Mr. Atose.
Also appearing before the panel, Daniel Agbor, who is the Kogi State coordinator of JAMB, said he spent N7 million his office could not account for on assisting other workers in his office, who he said were ravaged by poverty.
He also claimed that some of the cards sent to the state were stolen by unknown persons.
All nine were indicted for stealing JAMB funds. The panel thus recommended that they be sacked and the recommendation was forwarded to the Federal Ministry of Education which oversees JAMB.

Do you have any recipes for gluten-free bread made with yeast. I am at an altitude of 7500 feet. So far my loaves of bread have turned out to be bricks. Do you have a cookbook I can purchase?
High Altitude Gluten Free Baking Tips
I get lots of questions from folks asking how to adjust gluten free recipes for high altitude and my first answer is that you might not have to make an adjustment at all. These high altitude gluten free baking tips cover most all the major issues encountered by mile-high bakers, but if you want to add anything additional that you've learned through experience baking at high altitudes, please do!
High Altitude Gluten Free Baking Tips
Those of us unaccustomed to high altitudes often experience shortness of breath, headaches and quick sunburns when we visit higher locations. The air is thinner and the pressure is lower at 5,000 feet above sea level and beyond, but people aren't the only things affected.
The same conditions that create these physical problems for living creatures can also affect baking, but not always.
First let's look at what happens when there is low atmospheric pressure, low humidity and thinner air. The first things you'll notice in the kitchen are a lower boiling point, more rapid rising and drier baked goods from the reduced humidity.
Where this requires a change in gluten free baked goods is primarily in the leavening. Breads rise faster, leading to potential cave-ins because the cell structure isn't set well enough to hold the bread's shape.
Other leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda will also cause the gases in breads and cakes to expand/rise faster. (One teaspoon of baking powder at 5,000 feet yields 20% more volume than at sea level!)
So my recommendation is to try the gluten free recipe without adjustment first. Keep good notes so that you remember any problems that developed with each recipe, and what solutions you devised that worked. If you encounter problems, reference these tips to help.
♦ If your bread or cakes rise too fast and then collapse:
- Adjust the leavening agents: reduce baking powder by 1/4 teaspoon for each teaspoon called for in the recipe if you are baking above 6,000 feet. If you are baking at 8,000 feet or higher, reduce by 1/2 teaspoon for each teaspoon in the recipe.
- Reduce the rise time of yeast breads. Do not let the dough rise higher than the side of the pan. Check frequently to ensure bread is not rising more than double its size before baking.
- Do not fill muffins or cake pans more than 1/2 full.
- Do not omit salt in yeast bread recipes because salt will help to contain the rise.
- Try increasing the baking temperature by 25 degrees to help heat then set the cell structure faster so that it is better supported after cooling.
- Use extra large eggs instead of large eggs (eggs contain protein which helps to provide structure)
- Do not over-beat eggs, as this will enhance the rising of batters, which is not advised at high altitudes.
- For more gluten free bread baking tips, check out this article.
♦ If your baked goods aren't fully cooked (wet inside or dense):
- Bake longer! Some cakes and breads which bake in under an hour at sea level can take up to 1 hour and 20 or 30 minutes to bake at altitude. Reduce the oven temperature to 325F and bake for longer, checking frequently with a toothpick or internal thermometer to be sure it's fully cooked before removing to cool.
♦ If the recipe bakes out drier and more crumbly than it ought to be:
- Increase liquid by approximately 2 tablespoons if baking at 6,000 feet; 3-5 tablespoons if baking at 7,000 feet or higher.
- OR decrease gluten-free flour by 1 tablespoon per cup of flour.
- Add 1-2 Tablespoons of honey, agave, coconut nectar OR pure maple syrup to help hold moisture.
- Try substituting shortening for butter – it holds more liquid.
- Be sure you're using gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour to keep your baked goods light and soft, and to replace of other flours like bean or brown rice blends which will produce dry and crumbly foods.
♦ If your cookies flatten:
- Reduce the shortening or butter by 1-2 tablespoons.
- Substitute shortening for butter.
- Add 1/8 cup more gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour per each cup of flour in the recipe.
- Reduce the amount of additions like chocolate chips.
- Add a tablespoon or so of powdered milk or non-dairy powdered milk (not reconstituted)
♦ If your pie crusts or pastries are dry or tough:
- Reduce gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour or use less flour to dust with and handle the crust as little as possible.
- Ensure the fats (butter, oil, shortening) and liquids are very cold when mixing.
- Increase liquid by up to 25% (I add 2-3 tablespoons of vodka to the liquids in my pie crusts with great success!)

I'd love tips for cupcakes using pre-mixed flour. Mine already comes with baking powder and baking soda. I am going to experiment with using less flour, plus the other tips mentioned, but I am unsure if this will work.
I just found a Keto bread recipe and I am very excited to bake it. Here's my issue, I live in Denver so we are about 6000 ft above sea level. I have to modify all of my recipes for high altitude baking which I think is the problem. Do you have any suggestions about how to modify your recipe for high altitude baking so it comes out right using almond flour, coconut flour and tapioca flour. I haven't got that much experience baking with almond flour and coconut flour and tapioca flour so I don't know what modifications I should make. Could you please help?
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you again.

My elevation is 7500 feet. I used the GF cycle on breadmaker for the 1st time for a 3cup white loaf using King Arthur all purpose GF flour. I subbed egg white and applesauce to match the whole egg volume in the recipe. I used 1/2 tsp active dry yeast and added 1Tbsp milk (as works for me with gluten flours). I added 1/4 tsp xanthan to the specified amt. as I do for GF quick bread. Result: a bit too moist and flat to sunken on the top. Decrease liquid, prepare manually? Please advise. I do have a pullman loaf pan…Thx! Heidi, San Juan Mts
We live at almost 10,000 feet altitude. We noticed a big difference with baking anything at 7000 ft where our son lives. At 7000 ft it's much easier to adjust, at 10,000 ft it really becomes a challenge and usually flops. It is very different. Any suggestions?
Do you have any tips on how to adjust the GF flour or add to it to help rise? I tried making fried donuts and I live in 4200 elevation in Utah and I can't seem to get my dough to rise well.
Thanks for any tips
Thank you so much for your tips. When I am in high altitude I am between 8000-10000. Is there a good all purpose gf flour that works really well in recipes? Thanks for your input!
So, this past weekend, we were baking zucchini banana bread (yum, by the way) and when we pulled it out of the oven, it had exploded! Now exploded might not have been the best description baking wise, but the bread definitely caved in. So what I'm wondering, because we actually haven't tried this yet, is when the bread is done, should it be moist or a bit drier than normal?
I live at about 7,200 ft. I been having problems with my bread crumbling. I've adjusted my liquid and still having problems. I also mill my own flour and the bread is more dense. It has problems on the 2 rise not rising like it should. Any suggestions?
Thanks for posting this article! We live at 10,500 feet and I just experienced a cupcake explosion while preparing for my son's birthday. I'll try again with your suggestions.
Thank you! I live at high altitude and am newly diagnosed to the GF diet. I was feeling very daunted at doing all this new baking myself, at altitude to boot. But this post is so enormously helpful!
Thanks for the tips! I live at 9000 feet elevation, and I rarely have to make adjustments, but it definitely has been a learning experience finding out what works/doesn't work! I will try some of these tips, thank you!
I haven't seen some of these tips. I'll have to keep them in mind when I'm traveling. Thank you!
I live at 8600′ elevation and I'm trying to just make a loaf of gluten free bread. Using a recipe on your post and having no success. The bread rises to the top of the pan but then collapses while baking and never gets done, even though I baking at 375 instead of 350 and baking for twice the time of the recipe (120 minutes)
