No waiting
According to a recent study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association, visits to the emergency department have increased by 23% in 10 years-almost double what would be expected due to population growth. It's tough to afford healthcare insurance; it's also hard to get in to see a primary care physician immediately. A visit to the ED solves both problems for a lot of people, but creates another: People must wait for hours in the overpopulated ED.
As a healthcare provider, how do you get patients in and out quickly? A novel approach in emergency departments around the country puts doctors at the front of the house to evaluate patients for the urgency of their condition when they first arrive. Physician's assistants, nurse practitioners, and physicians examine the more serious cases. Patients waiting for test results or whose care can be delayed are upright, dressed, and reading magazines in a comfortable lounge, rather than prone, gowned, and impatient in a treatment bed.
While attempts at this approach have failed in the past, innovative methodologies such as Physician-Directed Queuing (PDQ); Rapid Medical Evaluation; Physician in Triage; or Rapid Assessment, Triage, and Efficient Disposition are making a difference and being deployed by hospitals to address crowding. The success of this process depends greatly on core process redesign. Process redesign was once an anomaly, but now this operating method for the ED is being adopted more widely and improving with each iteration. To support this new procedure, there are a number of design strategies that should be considered.
Path of minimal exigency
The goal of the triage process has not changed due to the insertion of a physician to the process. However, the addition of a physician to the team allows the process to develop even further.
Although exact methodologies vary at this point, two basic paths have developed. Upon presentation, urgent patients who require all emergency department resources are sent to the core of the emergency department for treatment. Also called "horizontal patients" due to their typical position during treatment, they may be tested and scanned on their way to the treatment room. The treatment of these patients then proceeds much as it has in most emergency departments for the past decade: The patients may be registered at bedside, evaluated, and treated in an exam room while lying on a stretcher, and then discharged or admitted to the hospital.
The new, alternate paths are developing for non-urgent patients. While traditional "fast-track" or "quick-care" areas segregate by acuity, other innovative methodologies are segregating by resource or even completing low-resource evaluations upon arrival. With these "vertical patients," the objective is to give them access to the resources they need without ever having to enter the core of the emergency department and occupy a bed. In the PDQ methodology, at triage, non-urgent patients are divided into those who need additional diagnostic testing and those who can be dispositioned without additional testing. Those not requiring testing are quickly treated in triage or nearby exam rooms, then registered and discharged. Physical plant design is crucial to the long-term success of these process innovations.
For those patients requiring diagnostic testing, the physician writes the order, tests are administered, and the patient returns to a results lounge. After the results are reviewed, treatment is given and the patient is discharged. Key elements of the process are having the right waiting spaces available, using those spaces to queue for results, and not using the treatment space as a waiting room.
Designing for treatment
The first visible design change should be made in the triage area or arrival zone, which must be spacious enough for a four-person team. The team, at minimum, includes a physician, a triage nurse, a tech, and a representative from registration. The area should allow each individual adequate working space with the physician area close enough to the triage nurse to be able to provide support when necessary. Ideally, in the PDQ model, the physician location should allow both visual and audible observation of the triage process. Preferably, the area also should allow for observation of walk-ins and ambulance arrivals.
Secondly, a series of treatment or evaluation rooms must be close to triage. Here, on the periphery of the ED, the physician will treat the non-urgent, low-resource cases. Two rooms are required at minimum to allow the physician to provide care to a patient in one while registration completes the checkout process in the other. The appropriate number should be determined by reviewing the department's volume.
In order to ensure efficient ebb and flow, each evaluation room should be designed with adequate storage for regularly used supplies. All other supplies should be stored directly outside the room, preferably in color-coded, easily restocked carts.
The location of diagnostic imaging and lab rooms is also critical to the process. Ideally, they will be located, along with their respective waiting areas, within steps of the triage area. Positioning these departments within the ED often will pose a challenge, as they also need to be accessible by trauma and the remainder of the ED staff.
Results lounges at Hershey Medical Center
One potential process change that affects design is the location of waiting spaces. Typically, emergency departments have a waiting space upon arrival. However, during the design of an addition to the emergency department at Hershey Medical Center, the space allocated for the expansion was reduced drastically. At that point, the team had to determine the best way to use the limited space available for expansion.
Led by Dr. Chris DeFlitch, Hershey Medical Center recently completed a departmental simulation that utilized operation data and queuing theory to evaluate the effect of the addition of a physician to the triage process. After developing the PDQ methodology, the initial pilot tested the simulation study assumptions that would eventually become the PDQ process. Patients who left the ED without being seen decreased from 5.6% to 2.7%; door-to-physician time improved by 37%; patient satisfaction scores rose from the 17th percentile to the 75th percentile; and throughput time of all patients improved 23%. All of these outcomes occurred without changing staffing numbers. The results of the pilot program prompted the team to re-evaluate the benefit of public waiting spaces and re-assign that square footage to interior clinical waiting spaces.
These interior waiting spaces are used as results lounges, keeping patients vertical and out of treatment beds, but still close at hand for when test results come back. This is much more pleasant for patients and staff. Results lounges can be used effectively as family waiting spaces to personalize the visit. They also provide an atmosphere where private information can be obtained during registration, or to provide discharge information if the patient does not require the use of a treatment room.
Separate waiting areas are effective for imaging services, patient registration, blood drawing, or other lab sample-gathering procedures. It is also important to have waiting available at triage for multiple patient arrival scenarios.
Another area overlooked in front-end design is the process for acquisition of information from patients. Most institutions choose a single method of information gathering, whether it is the traditional registration desk, private registration rooms, or bedside registration. The current patient-flow environment, however, dictates that all methods of registration have a place in the ED, and that by having the flexibility to use them all, EDs will be able to increase patients' satisfaction and improve flow.
Once the renovation and expansion of the emergency department at Hers
hey Medical Center was completed, and the PDQ methodology was completely implemented, the rate of patients who left the ED without being seen was maintained at 0.4%. In addition, the door-to-physician time was 18 minutes and the total length of emergency department stays improved three-fold from the traditional model of emergency care practice.
The design of emergency departments is evolving as rapidly as medical science. Even simple interior alterations like these discussed can make a huge difference in emergency department effectiveness.

A recent USA Today review of Dunkirk highlighted a lack of female characters, as well as people of colour. Although the review largely spoke positively of the film, sadly these comments were pounced upon by political pundits and many from the right wing.
Let me be clear; Dunkirk is a film in which historical accuracy is of paramount importance. And Christopher Nolan spent countless hours trying to replicate the scenes, conditions and aura of dread surrounding this ghastly moment in British history.
The reality of Dunkirk however is that it did largely involve young white males fighting against young white males. To alter this moment in history for the sake of inclusion would be a terrible injustice to the story, and to those involved.
Is it simply absurd to suggest that history is being 'whitewashed' by portraying in a realistic manner.
Let me put things in perspective; At the time, the British Empire encompassed large parts of the globe. British colonial forces played an enormous role in fighting fascism and its counterpart in the form of Japanese imperialism. Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Africans – they all played a role.
As did women.
It would be a great crime to forget the magnificent efforts of women during the Second World War. The homefront, intelligence, manufacturing and production industries; Women played a huge role in all of these.
Those who claim that the history of World War Two is somehow being whitewashed in Dunkirk are unequivocally incorrect, and we should not seek to alter history purely to meet current social norms and culture. The film simply tells the story as it was, and visually, it contains a lot of white people, that is the reality.
The flip side to this however comes in the form of the right wing. Individuals from this end of the political spectrum were the first to pounce upon these comments and their attacks were unrelenting.
What I find particularly interesting in their grievances – focused firmly on the idea of 'altering history' is that they themselves are often the first to do so. The political right has a habit of ignoring blatant hypocrisies and terrible events in world history, and instead choosing to focus on the positives on a broad range of topics.
A primary example being of course European colonialism and the British Empire. A YouGov poll revealed that a large portion of those polled in the UK believed that the British Empire was a good thing. The British Empire gave the world many positives, but it committed many unspeakable acts of cruelty, all in the name of 'progress'.
Additionally, it has long been a trend in western culture to portray the west as superior; more culturally, socially and economically advanced. Although in certain periods this is true to an extent, our focus being placed firmly on the west completely disregards the fact that throughout human history great advances have been made in other regions, specifically Asia and the Middle East.
In school we do not learn of the Chinese, who were experiencing unparalleled growth and advancement when Europe wallowed in conflict and feudalism – which amounted to nothing more than slavery. We do not learn about scientific and philosophical enlightenment in the Islamic world while Europe, again, wallowed in a dark age.
My realisation of this selective history in the mind of the right wing came when Paul Joseph Watson posted this picture on Twitter:
Accompanied by this comment:
"Thank God the BBC is portraying Roman Britain as ethnically diverse.
"I mean, who cares about historical accuracy, right?"
Days before this post he and others within the right wing echo chamber heavily criticised the USA Today review. Can he not see the blatant hypocrisy here? You cannot claim that one group is altering history to meet a political agenda, then yourself proceed to alter history.
Roman Britain was a diverse place. There is an abundance of archaeological evidence to support this. When we consider the fact that the Roman Empire stretched all the way to the Near East and along the coast of North Africa, it would be absurd to suggest that the empire was an exclusively white Latin entity.
The early days of the empire seen an army made up purely of Roman citizens, but as the empire expanded, it could not be manned by Romans alone. As such, peoples from their conquered territories were recruited in auxiliary roles, and later in the role of combat troops.
The Roman Empire was a cultural melting pot, and although the end goal was of course to Romanise the world, the reality is that it was a multicultural and racially diverse place.
I know the right abhors the idea of multiculturalism and diversity, but like you said, you cannot alter history. Roman Britain certainly would have had North African or Middle-Eastern people in it, as well as peoples from the Balkans, Germany and the Iberian Peninsula.
It appears to me as nothing more than grievance mongering. Yes, cinematic portrayals of historical events often contain fictional characters to add to the story. And yes at times they are of a racial profile not fitting the time, but to claim that history is being irrevocably altered by this is false – Studios are simply pandering to a wide range of people.
It is strange, I've not seen widespread anger from the right when films such as 'The Wall' or 'Exodus: Gods & Kings' were released; selective ire and hypocrisy.
Both sides of the political spectrum are wrong in this case. History, as they say, is written by the victor and so at times our perception of things can be skewed. Every nation, people or movement views their own actions as just or moral and so again our perception can be altered. Political movements for time immemorial have altered history to suit a political agenda, you need look no further than the portrayal of the Persians when encountering the Greeks.
The left does try to alter history to ensure 'inclusion' – and wrongfully so. The right ignores and disregards historical accuracy to meet its own narrative.
The answer is simple; Stop altering history to suit your agenda, and stop claiming that others are altering it, all the while doing it yourself. Educate yourself and when possible, seek objective sources. History is not straight forward, it has many angles, but all I see here is a cheap attempt to conjure resentment and discord.

Former NFL cornerback Asante Samuel and Mega Millions lottery winner James Groves are jointly seeking $7.8 million in damages against Morgan Stanley related to investment recommendations made by a now-barred broker, according to regulatory filings.
It's the latest case to stem from the alleged misconduct of ex-wirehouse adviser and nightclub owner Aaron Parthemer, who is also at the center of a second case recently filed by a group of NFL players against Morgan Stanley.
Parthemer was barred from the industry in 2015 by FINRA. The regulator accused Parthemer of engaging in several undisclosed outside business activities, soliciting clients to invest in the nightclub without his employer's permission and providing false information to FINRA among other misconduct.
Samuel and Groves filed their claims in FINRA arbitration in July, according to a copy of Parthemer's CRD. From 2003 to 2013, Samuel played for several NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. Groves won $168 million in the Mega Millions lottery in 2009.
Parthemer, who was based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., worked at Morgan Stanley and predecessor firm Smith Barney from 2006 to 2011, according to FINRA BrokerCheck records. He left to join Wells Fargo Advisors.
A Morgan Stanley spokeswoman said Parthemer failed to disclose his outside business activities to the firm.
"The nightclub issue had nothing to do with Morgan Stanley," the spokeswoman said. "Asante Samuel owned the South Beach nightclub and eventually the club closed as a result of the realities of business world and competition in the South Beach club scene. His late conceived claims that this is somehow related to Morgan Stanley is without merit."
Meanwhile, in August, Wells Fargo settled a case brought by Samuel and Groves related to Parthemer's actions while employed at the wirehouse, paying the former clients $1.5 million, according to regulatory filings. Samuel and Groves originally sought $3.5 million.
The wirehouse declined to comment. According to a note in Parthemer's CRD, Wells Fargo said it did not admit any liability and settled the matter "to avoid further arbitration."
Matthew Johnson, an attorney at Denver-based law firm Wheeler Trigg O'Donnell, is representing the two ex-clients, as well as the group of NFL players also seeking damages against Morgan Stanley. That second case is for unspecified damages, according to Parthemer's CRD. Johnson declined to comment on both cases while they are pending.
Neither Parthemer nor his attorney could be reached for comment.
This is not the first case related to Parthemer that Morgan has faced. In May, an arbitration panel ordered the wirehouse to pay more than $600,000 to Keyon Dooling, a former player for the Miami Heat, and over $200,000 to John St. Clair, a former player for the Miami Dolphins.
Parthemer was a high profile broker, courting sports stars and hip-hop artists as his clients, according to regulatory filings.
His undisclosed businesses included owning a nightclub in Miami Beach, Fla., according to FINRA's disciplinary report, which the regulator filed when it barred him from the industry.
Parthemer solicited investments in the club from his clients, some of whom were NFL and NBA players. They were also clients of Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley, the regulator says.
In 2011, he was involved in promoting a brand of tequila. His marketing efforts included sending gift baskets of the Mexican liquor to several NFL and NBA teams, according to FINRA. He did not disclose these outside businesses to his employers.
Without admitting nor denying the findings, Parthemer consented to the bar, according to a the report.
In April, the CFP Board permanently revoked his CFP designation for participating in outside business activities without his employer's approval, the board said.
Parthemer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2015. In February 2016, Wells Fargo Advisors filed a suit against Parthemer seeking $2.1 million in promissory notes that the firm says Parthemer owes but has not paid. The wirehouse gave Parthemer $1.5 million when he joined Wells Fargo from Morgan Stanley in October 2011, according to court filings.

Rail Surface Crack
The MRX Rail Surface Crack Measurement System (RSCM) has been developed to detect, measure and record flaws in tracks on and below the surface of rails, which means maintenance can now be both both quicker and more cost efficient.
For long distance surveys (hundreds to thousands of kilometres) a measuring trolley can be fitted to an existing rail vehicle to produce an accurate report for long stretches of track. MRX Technologies in Australia also has road/rail vehicles capable of carrying out comprehensive surveys for track networks.
An option for shorter sections of track is the Operator Propelled Unit (OPU) – a compact version pushed by a single user and capable of covering several kilometres in a day. An onboard screen provides immediate notification of cracks, chips and other flaws on or in the track.
For more pinpoint work on short stretches of track, the smallest piece of RSCM equipment is ideal. As the name suggests, the Hand Held Unit (HHU) is small and light enough to be held in one hand and can be run along small sections of track to pinpoint anomolies requiring attention.
Information is displayed and recorded in a supplied rugged tablet for immediate use or as part of a maintenance record.
The HHU is also available as a train wheel version, providing workshops with an invaluable maintenance tool.
All equipment in the RSCM range has been proven in the field and can be used independently or as together to create a comprehensive system for the maintenance of tracks.
|MRX's RSCM is available in various forms, including this trolley version towed behind a rail vehicle.
|The MRX Operator Propelled Unit is easy to operate by a single user.
|The OPU sits on top of the rail and is pushed by a single user.
|Not all rail cracking and damage is easy to detect.

|Yorkshire Greens - coming out of the shadows
The latest independent opinion poll specifically about next years European Elections is good news for the Green Party and shows we are on target to achieve our first MEP for the Yorkshire and Humber Region.
The European Elections are conducted under the list system of voting which gives more proportional outcomes and with 6 MEP positions the prospects for one of those places seeing a Green elected are good. The Yougov Poll for the Electoral Reform Society shows the Greens on over 12% beating the Lib Dems into fifth place and anything over 10% gives us a good chance of ensuring we getting a Yorkshire and Humber seat. As I am the Lead Candidate for the the Greens in our Region this is an exciting prospect and gives people who oppose establishment parties, but don't want to vote a Right Wing Conservative Party Mark 2 like UKiP, a real choice. At the last Euro Poll in 2009 the Greens were just over 1% short of winning and lost out narrowly to the BNP who won the sixth seat. The collapse of the BNP and faltering support for the Lib Dems leaves a real opportunity for the Green Party to make a breakthrough.
If elected I wouldn't want it to be one off expression of discontent but a positive vote for an MEP who is trying to get more European funds to help create jobs and worthwhile investment in our communities. Someone who is working to improve the energy performance of our homes and businesses and at the same time helping young people develop skills in worthwhile jobs that they can build a life upon. It is locally owned and managed businesses working together that are the key to a truly sustainable economy where wealth is not siphoned out of our communities. As a Green MEP I would want to work with local councils across our Region to support the development of more sustainable local economies that are more resilient to the insecurities of an increasingly globalised economy.
What concerns me about the current state of UK politics is the lack of a positive vision. Negativity and being against things seems to be how many politicians express themselves all of the time. Of course we need to say when we have legitimate concerns about issues affecting our communities but we must spend at least the same amount of time telling people what our vision for a positive future looks like and what we will do to help us get there.

Coca-Cola launches Vitaminwater Stur-D
WHITESTONE, N.Y. Coca-Cola has unveiled a new Vitaminwater drink, which is enhanced with vitamin D.
Vitaminwater Stur-D, a blue agave, passion fruit and citrus-flavored blend, is the first enhanced water and juice beverage to include vitamins C and D and calcium, Coca-Cola said.
"This has truly been an exciting year for the Vitaminwater trademark — from the successful launch of Vitaminwater zero to a breakthrough in industry innovation like Vitaminwater Stur-D," said Matt Kahn, SVP brand marketing. "These are true testaments to Vitaminwater's commitment to meeting consumers' needs and ever-evolving lifestyles."
Vitaminwater Stur-D will be available on grocery, convenience and drug store shelves for a suggested retail price of $1.49.
Something sweet for Snackerz
GLENDALE, Calif. —Just in time for Halloween, Nestle has added a bite-sized Butterfinger product to its 87-year-old classic candy brand. New ButterFinger Snackerz is a smooth Butterfinger candy center wrapped in a crispy, wafer biscuit and covered with chocolate and a decorative drizzle of peanut butter. It combines the classic Butterfinger flavors with new elements to provide a new snacking experience.
The product is available in single-serve 1.28-oz. bags and 9.2-oz. packages of fun-size bags. Suggested retail is 89 cents for a single-serve and $3.29 for fun-size bags. Snackerz also is included in a Best of Butterfinger assortment that includes individually wrapped Butterfinger and Butterfinger Crisp.
The launch is being supported with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon on Nestle's Butterfinger.com website.
Premium carbonated drinks pour into market
Undaunted by flat carbonated beverage sales, premium soda manufacturers are bringing a steady stream of new products to market.
|*In billions**52 weeks ended Aug. 8 Source: Infoscan Reviews, SymphonyIRI Group
"There's definitely movement in this segment. There's been a deluge of products, and we've been watching it closely," said Melissa Abbott, trends and culinary insights manager at the Hartman Group. Abbott believed the spike in interest in niche carbonated beverages is fueled by consumers' desire for higher-quality foods that are "premium, but attainable." She also believed consumers are willing to spend a bit more for those products. "Consumers don't view these beverages as a commodity. They are a treat, like a substitution for a candy bar," she said.
Such premium soda brands as Boylan's and Jones Soda have occupied this small niche for years, but have seen a surge in popularity. More brands—Fruit 66, Hot Lips and Kristall, to name a few—are more recent entries. "We're seeing wider distribution from small labels," Abbott said. "It's exciting to see what's going to happen here."
Private-label brands also have moved into the segment. Walgreens has introduced Deerfield Trading's Old Fashioned Soda with real cane sugar in such flavors as root beer and strawberry cream, and the company's Duane Reade stores stock DR Delish sparkling beverages in pomegranate and blood orange, among other flavors.
Nontraditional flavors are a driver in the category. "We get excited about developing the next flavor," said David Yudkin, co-owner of Hot Lips Soda. He believed pulp in the bottle is "new and will drive the category" going forward.
This spring, R.W. Knudsen introduced Sparkling Essence, a zero-calorie beverage made with sparkling water infused with organic ingredients in four light, natural flavors: lemon, cucumber, mint and blueberry. Knudsen also recently reformulated and repackaged its Spritzers, made from fruit juice and sparkling water in such flavors as Jamaican lemonade, peach and boysenberry. In an effort to shave calories from each serving, the company reduced juice content from 100% to 70%-to-80% juice and changed packaging from a 12-oz. can to a sleek 10.5-oz. can. The Spritzers are sold for about $3.79 for a four pack.
Jones has done well with its quirky, limited-edition flavors—its newest addition is a bacon-flavored soda. The company's limited-edition six packs have been featured at Target for Halloween.
While more premium soda brands continue to enter the market, industry experts were quick to note that the segment remains small. "The industry is dominated by Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper Snapple Group," said John Sicher, editor of Beverage Digest. "There's always room for niche players, and they will always be niche players."

Clearinghouse CDFI will utilize the $500,000 investment to finance community facilities, affordable housing projects, commercial real estate, and small businesses.
Lake Forest, CA (PRWEB) May 28, 2015
Clearinghouse Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) announced today a $500,000 "Class A" equity investment from Charles Schwab Bank. This investment positions Charles Schwab Bank as Clearinghouse CDFI's 10th largest Class A Shareholder, and brings Clearinghouse CDFI Class A shares to over $12 million. It will allow Clearinghouse CDFI to continue its mission of serving low-income, distressed communities.
"Charles Schwab Bank is a long-term community partner of Clearinghouse CDFI," said Douglas Bystry, President and Chief Executive Officer of Clearinghouse CDFI. "We are grateful for their recent investment, which supports our mission to finance impactful projects that revitalize distressed communities."
Clearinghouse CDFI will utilize the $500,000 investment to finance community facilities, affordable housing projects, commercial real estate, and small businesses. Clearinghouse CDFI's mission is to provide economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for lower-income individuals and communities through innovative financing that is unavailable in the conventional market. To date, the company has funded a total of $1.1 billion in loans for 1,585 projects in distressed communities. Clearinghouse CDFI loans have created or retained over 12,000 jobs and developed or rehabilitated 10 million square feet.
Clearinghouse CDFI has been a leader in the CDFI industry, with a number of other "firsts" in its history. It was the first non-depository CDFI to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank system in 2012. In 2014, it was the first CDFI to draw funds under the CDFI Fund Bond Guarantee Program, with a facility of $100 million in long term debt capital. Recently, Clearinghouse CDFI became the first non-depository CDFI to attain an S&P credit rating: 'AA' Stable, indicating a "very strong capacity to meet financial commitments."
Today, Clearinghouse CDFI has over $200 million in assets and equity exceeding $33 million. Clearinghouse CDFI also received B Corp Certification in 2014 from the nonprofit B Lab. B Corps are companies who meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, and use business as a force for good.
"In these times of greater need, Clearinghouse CDFI continues to excel at helping stabilize low-income communities. Charles Schwab Bank is very pleased to support its efforts in the growth and prosperity of our neighborhoods," said Dutch Haarsma, Community Development Group Director for Charles Schwab Bank.

I'm in the market for new glasses and stumbled across Drift Eyewear's line of responsibly-sourced wooden frames. My initial thought was that this was the optical equivalent of wooden tennis racquets – chunky, clunky and cumbersome (like Billie Jean King's trademark specs).
Far from it. Drift Eyewear's handmade frames are constructed from sustainable wood and the brand's patent-pending laminated steel core. Each pair is hand finished for maximum comfort. The temples use the innovative PressureFLEX Technology™. This patent pending design provides an optimal combination of strength, flexibility, and balance. The balance is particularly key – preventing the frames from sliding down your nose (or if you're bridge challenged like me, keeping the slipping to a minimum).
Also, the wood temples are waterproof and UV inert. This means they will not be affected by sun fading or being left in the rain. The wood frames are also very green, manufactured with FSC woods, zero VOC adhesives and coatings, organic fabrics, etc.
Now the bad news or if you're an elitist, the exclusivity factor. The Timber collection (the ones I quite fancy and that are pictured above) are a limited collection of 100 pairs of each design. They are also available only at limited locations, in Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles. LA friends, you can pick up a pair at:

Real-World XML: Part 9 of 12Serializing XML To A String
XML technologies offer web developers and designers more flexibility than ever before. In Real-World XML, industry expert Joe Marini covers the best programming practices with XML, including the tools needed to build effective XML structures. He demonstrates the implementation of XML formats, how these formats work in real-world situations, and how they can facilitate project planning and development. Exercise files accompany the course.
XML Essential Training is a prerequisite for getting the most out of this course.
Topics include:
- Understanding the Sitemap index format
- Integrating XML and design
- Using XML effectively in Firefox and Internet Explorer
- Avoiding common design mistakes
- Understanding and implementing DOM algorithms
- Building an XML tag set
- Using XML with RSS and Atom
- Processing XML data with XSLT
Serializing XML To A String
Now as I demonstrated in the previous examples both Firefox and Internet Explorer have a notion of serializing XML to a string and serializing is basically the process of converting an XML document to a format that can be saved like a string.
Now serialization can take other forms as well, but string is the most common, especially in most of the real world scenarios you will probably run into. And you would like to do this for several reasons. First, you can use it for saving XML content either to a file or some other persistent method, whether it's a stream or something like that.
You can also use this to interchange XML content with another system, something that works with text processing like say regular expressions which we investigated in the practical and effective JavaScript title, also available here at Lynda.com.
And you also might want to do this to aid in debugging. So if you are working with XML and you've got a whole bunch of logic, there will probably come times when you want to display some debugging messages that contain XML content and in order to do that you need to serialize the XML to a string before you can write it out to a console or display it in a alert or whatever debugging method you use.
And as I showed, Firefox and Internet Explorer both have ways of serializing strings. Firefox provides support for an object called the XMLSerializer and you just call the serializeToString method on that object. Whereas Internet Explorer makes things really easy, it just simply provides an XML property on each XML node in the document, which provides a text representation of the document tree starting at that node.
Click Play or press spacebar to start or stop video
And just to review, to perform Firefox serialization to a string, you can see in the top example we've got a document fragment where we create a paragraph element with some text inside of it and to serialize it out, we instantiate a new XMLSerializer object and call the serializeToString function with the document as the argument.
And as I mentioned earlier that argument to serializeToString, this can be any node. It doesn't have to be the document. You can serialize starting at any node in the tree. So we could have passed in the paragraph or the text or anything like that.
And in the Internet Explorer case we use the XML property on the XML document, and again you can use this on any node. It doesn't have to be the document, but this is how you get the string representation of XML in Internet Explorer.
Okay, so now that we have covered using XML in Firefox and IE and we have seen how to serialize the data, it's time to move on to our next lesson.

Metaphysical Adventures
Jim's writing seeks to present metaphysical ideas in an entertaining fashion. His novels are primarily for entertainment, using realistic characters and situations, adding fantasy and circumstances to enhance the reading experience, but always giving his characters the chance to experience some aspect of non-physical reality. His stories are fun, mysterious and adventurous, and the reader may, if she or he so wishes, take something into their own experience.
Pursuit is a timeless, adventurous and philosophical novel about battling the shadows in order to find the inner light and connection to the divine guidance.
I love how the three stories bound by an ancient mysterious book merge together and support each other. All the stories are equally entertaining and lead to the same crucial conclusion, yet each of them also manages to keep its own unique atmosphere. Sometimes, when a story has multiple protagonists, there's the danger of one overshading the other, but I felt that this book achieved to keep them all equally likeable.

Wells Fargo Awards 61 Nonprofits with $3 Million in Environmental Grants
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9, 2015 – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) announced today that 61 nonprofits have been awarded environmental grants totaling $3 million to support projects focused on land and water conservation, energy efficiency, environmental outreach and support for building healthy urban ecosystems.
Established in 2012, the Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communitiesfive-year grant program has awarded $12 million to 207 grantees and funded 247 projects to date that promote conservation and environmental sustainability.
"We believe in being environmentally proactive and helping our customers, communities and team members become better stewards of the environment," said Mary Wenzel, head of Wells Fargo Environmental Affairs. "This program helps advance our company's goal to give $100 million to support environmental nonprofits by 2020 and provides our team members an opportunity to volunteer locally and improve communities where they live and work."
The 2015 Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grant program received more than 450 applications. The 61 projects that were selected are aligned with the program's goal to help address the most pressing environmental issues in 31 target cities and regions. Click here for the full list of 2015 Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grantees.
"This year's Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grantees will work on projects from Maine to Alaska, from Los Angeles to Birmingham," said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. "The dedication and commitment to conservation and helping local communities shown by Wells Fargo is inspirational and deeply appreciated by all who participate in these exciting projects. Without Wells Fargo's support, none of this good work would be possible."
Administered by NFWF, the Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grants collectively helped reduce more than 8 million pounds of CO2*, which is the equivalent to averting consumption of 21,000 barrels of oil**. More than 17,000 community members have been involved in projects funded by the grants. The 2015 grantees will plant more than 350,000 trees and restore more than 10,000 acres of habitat.
Details of the Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grant program and a link to the 2016 application (available in September 2015) can be found at the NFWF application website. Projects benefiting underserved communities and encouraging volunteerism are given priority consideration. The Wells Fargo Environmental Solutions for Communities grant program is funded by the Wells Fargo Foundation to promote environmental stewardship across the country.
Project Description:
Formerly a Boy Scout camp and now a public park, the space will be transformed through the treatment of 5 acres of invasive species and the replanting of a wide variety of native plants which will provide the next generation of growth for this deteriorating forest. Specifically we will aim to improve the forest and 560 linear feet of creekbank through the creation of an acidic cove forest environment, the enhancement of 2,000 linear feet of walking paths and the planting of native understory trees. We will also plant a variety of native fruit and nut shrubs and trees to create an urban orchard in the open area of the park. Finally, we will improve the entrance area of the park with the planting of native shrubs and the creation of two attractive bioswales. Community volunteer participation and public education will play a key role in the execution of this restoration project.

text: There has been an independent release of Rock Band on a.b.g.wii. Since it's not an official group release delivered through 'proper' channels it won't be listed on the front page. There is no nfo but the filenames are 'Rock Band.part0nn.rar'. I'm sure somebody will package it up and release it proper. But then again I thought some group would have released it already. Then again, I also thought someone would have posted a proper rip of Wall-E (USA) by now. Oh well, at least it's out there.

Even though Star Wars: The last Jedi has made over a Billion dollars worldwide and was the highest-grossing film of 2017, the tie-in sales, on the other hand, have been poor.
Compared to 2016 with the tie-ins for the Force Awakens, The Last Jedi's have been surprisingly poor.
According to Gerrick Johnson, BMO Capital Market's analyst, the market is experiencing a "movie fatigue."
Bloomberg reported that toy sales diminished big time last year. Bloomberg also notes that Star Wars still remained the top-selling toy during the Holiday 2017 period, but sales fell so much for Disney that the Star Wars brand lost its #1 position of the year.
The main problem they say is due to the film not having any memorable characters. Sure the film had fresh faces like Admiral Holdo, Rose Tico, and DJ, but none of them had as much significance as Rey, Finn, and Poe, who're all central characters in the sequel trilogy.
No one was clamoring for a DJ Hot toys figure I can tell you that.
Though adult collectors are still purchasing Star Wars items during their initial release, children have shown less interest in the toy line despite the hype of The Force Awakens sequel.
"There are so many screens now; kids aren't just at the movies," Johnson said. "A movie doesn't have the same resonance it used to."
I'm not going to lie, I'm a huge Star Wars collector. When the first wave of The Last Jedi merch came out, I wasn't as excited as I was for the Force Awakens stuff.
I wouldn't be too sad for Disney though, I'm sure they'll bounce back quick. They have years and years worth of Star Wars tie-ins to come.
STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI is still currently in theaters

3.25. At least one person who has a current paediatric first aid (PFA) certificate must be on the premises and available at all times when children are present, and must accompany children on outings. The certificate must be for a full course consistent with the criteria set out in Annex A. Childminders, and any assistant who might be in sole charge of the children for any period of time, must hold a full current PFA certificate. PFA training30 must be renewed every three years and be relevant for workers caring for young children and where relevant, babies. Providers should take into account the number of children, staff and layout of premises to ensure that a paediatric first aider is able to respond to emergencies quickly. All newly qualified31 entrants to the early years workforce who have completed a level 2 and/or level 3 qualification on or after 30 June 2016, must also have either a full PFA or an emergency PFA certificate within three months of starting work32 in order to be included in the required staff: child ratios at level 2 or level 3 in an early years setting33. Providers should display (or make available to parents) staff PFA certificates or a list of staff who have a current PFA certificate.
30. Providers are responsible for identifying and selecting a competent training provider to deliver their PFA training. Training is available from a wide range of providers including: those who offer regulated qualifications; or the Voluntary Aid Societies (St John Ambulance, the British Red Cross and St Andrew's First Aid who together are acknowledged by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) as one of the standard-setters for currently accepted first aid practice for first aid at work training courses); or those who operate under voluntary accreditation schemes; or one that is a member of a trade body with an approval and monitoring scheme; or those who operate independently of any such accreditation scheme. The Register of Regulated Qualifications may help providers identify PFA providers, which can be found at: http://register.ofqual.gov.uk/qualification. It may also be helpful to refer to HSE's guidance about choosing a first aid training provider, which can be found at: www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/geis3.htm
31. In this context, "newly qualified entrants" includes staff who have been apprentices or long term students who have gained a level 2 or level 3 early years qualification.
32. Newly qualified entrants who started work between 30 June 2016 and 2 April 2017 must have either a full PFA or an emergency PFA certificate by 2 July 2017 in order to be included in the required staff:child ratios at level 2 or level 3 in an early years setting.
33. Providers can make an exception to this requirement where a newly qualified entrant to the workforce is unable to gain a PFA certificate if a disability would prevent them from doing so. Such a newly qualified entrant can still be included in the staff:child ratios if otherwise competent to carry out their childcare duties. Where possible, such staff should attend a relevant PFA training course and obtain written evidence of attendance.
Paediatric First Aid Training Providers
No. Millie's Mark does not have preferred suppliers for Paediatric First Aid training. To be eligible you must have up-to-date first aid certificates with training by a registered provider. Nurseries can choose their own training provider. Preferably, it should be one with a nationally-approved and accredited first aid qualification or one that is a member of a trade body with an approval and monitoring scheme. The audit will ask about how a training provider was chosen and the quality checks carried out on staff competencies following the training.
Every three years.
A comprehensive check of the paediatric first aid training provider undertaken by the nursery provider to check its course content and evaluate its quality. A factsheet to support you in carrying out due-diligence will be available to download when you sign-up.
The criteria states that 100% of staff working directly with children are required to have paediatric first aid. Please be aware that this does not include:
- First aid at work
- Emergency first aid at work
- Outdoors first aid
- Forest School first aid
These courses are not accepted as part of the Millie's Mark criteria.
Millie's Mark can only award settings when it has seen all staff members paediatric first aid certificates therefore we would recommend trying to request a duplicate certificate from the training provider. Where this is not possible the member of staff would need to attend another course and the certificate would need to be uploaded.
No, we will need to see a copy of the PFA certificate; additional copies can be requested from your trainer.
Process and costs
While it's a fantastic achievement to already train 100% of staff in paediatric first aid, Millie's Mark is about much more than this. Millie's Mark requires that the first aid learning is kept alive and in the forefront of practitioners' minds, so they are confident, ready and capable should an emergency occur. The comprehensive process helps you to identify staff strengths as well as fears and enables you to strategically deploy the most confident staff across the setting. Read more about the process.
Millie's Mark costs from £230 to £330 (+VAT) depending on the number of staff at a setting. The cost of Millie's Mark includes access to a mentor and their support throughout the process, from answering your questions to developing an action plan for areas for improvement. Costs also cover a full online assessment of documentation uploaded, spot check assessments (where applicable) and IT support. Settings that sign up also gain access to a number of different templates and resources including a due-diligence factsheet, staff confidence audit and staff training matrix.
Nurseries have a minimum of three months and maximum of six months to complete Millie's Mark. The three months minimum time is in place to allow time for settings to carry out a full audit with all staff and ensure all staff are confident and competent in applying paediatric first aid. It also allows any identified changes in practice to be made and embedded.
No. Settings have up to 6 months to submit for assessment and then additional time for the assessment process.
Each setting is assigned a mentor at the start of the process. They are then available via phone and email to provide any answers to queries around the documentation or to check through any completed forms. Common queries include questions about the audit and how to carry out due-diligence. The mentor is there for support and guidance and to give you confidence that everything is covered prior to submitting for assessment.
Yes, as per the Terms and Conditions of Millie's Mark each nursery needs to register individually. This is because each setting is assessed on the staff's confidence and competencies which will differ across the settings. There is also a requirement to submit a floor plan so that decisions regarding calling on people in an emergency can be assessed.
Millie's Mark Criteria
The criteria says: 'The nursery provider will be responsible for determining which staff have direct care of children and the type of PFA certificate they should hold: for example, this might also include other staff that come into regular close contact with children at key times (in addition to early years staff), like lunchtime supervisors, drivers, and escorts at SEN settings, etc.'
Settings will be required to include this information on a risk assessment (template provided).
If you have identified in your assessment that the support staff e.g. cooks, cleaners and office staff require a paediatric first aid certificate then they should be included in the total number of staff when purchasing.
There is a three month grace period to allow for these instances.
Yes. The Millie's Mark criteria gives a 3 months grace period so new staff will need to be trained within 3 months.
Although there is a 3 month grace period, all staff are expected to be trained and have a certificate at the time that the award is made. There may be occasions where new staff may start after you sign up and are waiting for a course following the panel date. In these cases a conditional award may be offered and the official award including announcement on the website will be made after sight of the certificates.
Millie's Mark looks only at paediatric first aid certificates. For further information regarding first aid at work please see Health & Safety Executive guidance www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/
Yes. It is the responsibility of the nursery provider to ensure that 100% of staff who work directly with children are trained in paediatric first aid. This therefore includes any bank/supply staff they may have. Nursery providers are subject to a spot check at any time and if there are any members of staff including bank/supply staff at the premises with direct care of children without a full and valid paediatric first aid certificate then they will not pass Millie's Mark.
NDNA define bank staff as regular cover staff that may or may not be on the nursery providers books. These need to be included on the staff training matrix completed at the start of the process.
NDNA define supply staff as those emergency staff that you may seek in emergencies from a supply agency. These are still required to have a paediatric first aid certificate on site with them. However you would not be expected to put these on your training matrix. If you are spot checked and there is a supply member of staff working directly with children and they do not have a paediatric first aid certificate you will not pass Millie's Mark or you may have the mark withdrawn.
Yes. Students on longer term placements that are included in ratios are expected to have paediatric first aid certificates. Shorter term student placements and work experienced students are not required to have a paediatric first aid certificate but should not be left unsupervised with children at any time.
Yes. Volunteers are required to have a paediatric first aid certificate.
If a member of staffs paediatric first aid certificate expires whilst they are on maternity leave, it is not expected that they renew their certificate whilst on maternity leave. However managers should work with the member of staff to arrange the training in line with when they return e.g. maybe through a keep in touch day and at least within the three month grace period as from when they return to work. This should be evidenced in the Millie's Mark audit/risk assessment. The same would apply for staff on long term sick leave.
It is advised that you check the website of the training provider to see the content of the course and ensure it covers the full or emergency content. If you cannot verify this they may need to complete another course.
This is laid out in the Terms and Conditions of Millie's Mark but generally it can be within a two month window to allow for assessment, verification, spot checks and final panel decisions to be carried out and completed.
A percentage of nurseries will receive an onsite visit. This could be after your application or any time in the next three years.
All online portfolios will be subject to an online assessment.
Due to the nature of Millie's Mark the spot check will still go ahead - an accident could happen when a manager is not there.
Yes, you are expected to maintain 100% of staff trained in paediatric first aid over the lifetime of the award. You are also required to submit annual declarations and inform NDNA of any changes, serious accidents, injuries or death within the nursery. This is in addition to your EYFS requirement to notify Ofsted (See EYFS 3.51, page 28).

The Lone Walker
|The Lone Walker in "18 Miles Out"
This is a mirror for what Shane has become. He has finally been told, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Rick's family is just that: Rick's. He has relentlessly beat on the man he calls brother. He has attempted to murder two people and subsequently been rescued by them both. When Shane is looking upon the Lone Walker he feels kinship. He was alone before, but it is painfully obvious now that there are so few people in the world. He has no more purpose than a mindless corpse shuffling through the dying grass. This moment in the car is perhaps the first time we see Shane look utterly defeated. In what is a moment of synergy, the song playing over this crisis of mind is "Civilian" by Wye Oak.
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
|Shane watching the lone walker wandering through the field
In a different man this may have been the turning point back to humanity. However, like the Lone Walker, Shane will not remain an object of pity for long. He has become a creature driven by survival and possession. The enormity and emotions of the day in "18 Miles Out" tapped him out, but his slide into something less than human began long before and shows no sign of stopping. Once he has a chance to regroup, Rick's unequivocal claiming of Lori, Carl and the baby will be taken as a gauntlet thrown and Shane's efforts to wrestle control of the group will be renewed with vigor.
The Lone Walker is not merely a lonely traveler. The Lone Walker is the harbinger of the threat of Walkers to come and the danger of Shane's continuing deterioration. It is the calm before the storm and the sky is starting to look cloudy.

Ireland Bails Out Germany Again
The big winners from the latest bailout are in Frankfurt and Paris, not Dublin.
Ireland's latest round of stress tests revealed that Irish banks continue to bleed money. Fresh losses and write-downs at the country's biggest banks led the central bank to call last week for €24 billion in capital injections. This could bring the total cost to Irish taxpayers of propping up the banks to €70 billion, or more than half of its GDP. As for the owners of Irish bank debt, their losses still amount to . . . zero.
Irish lawmakers promised this would be their fifth and final attempt to find the bottom of their country's...

It has recently been reported that several charities in the Houston area that round up gifts for many needy children in the area (including the Salvation Army, Outreach Program Inc., and West Houston Assistant Ministries) are going about "giving to families in need" a little different this year. In the recession that America is in at this time, giving to families in need is an admirable act but this year the organization has decided to attach a card that reads, "Immigration status, please". But as shocking as this may sound, nothing says "Merry Christmas to you and yours", like demanding that a needy family shows documentation that they are an actual citizen of the United States. The Houston Chronicle article states that the charity organization are requesting that some form of identification be provided, whether it's a social security card, birth certificate, or proof of income. The identification needs to prove whether or not the family receiving the gifts is an actual U.S. citizen. If the family cannot show their status – they receive no presents. Does this seem a step away from what the true meaning of Christmas really is? That's because it is just that.
Lorugene Young, the spokesperson for the Outreach Program Inc. states that, "The point isn't to punish the children but to ensure that their parents are either citizens, legal immigrants, or working to become legal residents. It's not our desire to turn anyone down. Those kids are not responsible if they are here illegally. It's the parent's responsibility". Sonya Scott, who is a part of the West Houston Assistance Ministries shares the same views as Young and states, "Good stewardship and trust are reasons to check documentation so that people who donate believe the charity is doing the right thing". But as we look deeper in to this issue, we ask ourselves, "Is this really a matter of legality and does not giving a Christmas present to a child in need constitute under the rules of "doing the right thing"? After protests broke out over the ordeal, Salvation Army stated that they will no longer check social security numbers, they will not check status at some of their locations, and their intention was never to offend anyone. Their reasoning behind the identification was to make sure families were not registering at multiple charity locations. The fact still remains, some charity organizations do require immigration status. Has our immigration system gotten so out of control as to whether we decipher which children get presents and which ones don't?

Ordinarily, I make a point of trying not to post two blog entries on the same day. However, the Lord has impressed this on my heart, and I feel I ought to write it.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, let me ask you two questions. Answer them with whatever comes first to your mind. It may be helpful to write down your answers.
Does God love you?
Do you love God?
And now, did your answers to those two questions tell you anything about yourself that you didn't already know?
They certainly did for me. I actually got this exercise from a little book of Christ-centered questions–a combined journal, private Ungame, and compendium of writing prompts. Here's how I answered:
Does God love me? Well, um, I think so… I mean, the Word says He does… Sometimes, I don't feel it–don't feel forgiven, can't accept His grace. God loves me, because the Bible says so and I trust the Bible–but I don't know that He always likes me, that He is pleased with me… most of the time.
Do I love God? Yes, yes, yes! Yes! He is my all in all, my everything… He has given me all that I will ever want or need…
Dearly beloved, do you see something grievously, heart-breakingly wrong with this picture?
Besides the fact that I wasn't accepting God's grace to begin with, which is horrible enough, what I was initially conveying was that I somehow thought my love was stronger, more emphatic. It isn't! I was clinging to the Savior, but forgetting that He was still holding me, still loving me like the heavenly Father He is. And whose love is ever greater–the Father's for His young child, or the child's? My thinking is both presumptuous and sad if I don't understand the depth, the riches, of God's infinite love.
I see this attitude in my daily interactions with others. When I don't understand the love of my Lord, I tend to wonder if my relationship with Him will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Day by day, I fear that someone or something will separate me from the love of Christ, despite what is written in Romans 8:38-39. It is then that I become almost defiant. On one such occasion, I was asked by a very sincere individual what is important to me. My response: "My faith is most important, and if ANYONE were to take it away from me, I fear I would waste away from grief!" This is what happens when I do not remember that the Lord loves me–and you, beloved brethren–too much to allow that to happen. And, in the light of what Scripture says about God turning no one away, and about no one being able to snatch the sheep from the Good Shepherd's hand, what I said was really rather silly.
But what happens when I remember His great love? Then, I can answer the question with gentleness: "My faith in Jesus Christ is foremost in my life–I've never known such great and infinite love." I can respond with confidence because I know that our heavenly Father will not forsake one of His children, even if His child sins against Him. It's a different, beautiful, wholly trusting mindset–and all of us, particularly perfectionists like myself, will find our walk with the Lord much more satisfying if we practice it.
Some Scriptures for your further edification and encouragement: "See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are" (I John 3:1). And again, "We love, because He first loved us" (I John 4:19). . What is more, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). What wondrous AGAPE!
Or, feast on this: "I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me" (John 10:15). And this: ""Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also" (John 14:1-3). Or, for a vivid picture at this endless love of our infinite God, what about this: "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away. … Behold, I make all things new." (Revelation 21:3-5). Now, would He make those glorious, comforting promises if His love were not far, far beyond what we could ever conceive–great and powerful, filled with grace and mercy?
But really, beloved, what is most important are these words of our Lord Jesus, words that convince us of His love like no others: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. … Truly, I say to you, you will be with Me in paradise. … Woman, behold your son. … Behold your mother. … My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? … I thirst. … Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit. … It is finished." (Luke 23:34; Luke 23:43; John 19:26, 27; Matthew 27:46; John 19:28; Luke 23:46; John 19:30). I could go into all of these in much greater depth and hope to do so, if the Lord wills, in the weeks leading up to Resurrection Day–particularly "My God, My God" as it applies here–but for the moment, let us just focus on that wondrous, blessed gift. It should have been my sin to bear, but He bore it. What greater love is there than that?
The same questions, new answers:
Does God love me? To the point of cleansing–grace and mercy washing over me. Infinitely, mightily. More than I know, enough to cover a multitude of my sins and errors.
Do I love God? Yes, but falteringly, compared with His HESED. I will grow in love and obedience, but only through Him. He is still my all in all, but His greatness is so much more. Yes, I whisper, I love God.
Addendum: "How Deep the Father's Love for Us", from the album KING OF LOVE by the Stoneleigh Worship Band.
