What are you folks working on (if any of you work on things?)
I've started writing and recording a few ideas for uni.
This is the only thing I've looked at in the last month.
Spent an hour arranging and sorting a structure out but this is nowhere near finished, I want to re-record a lot of it, and find a better vocal style. One that fits, this one is here, because it sounded odd instrumental.

Child protection must override patient confidentiality in FGM cases, and health workers should helps spot risk factors - including girls whose mothers and sisters have been cut
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Britain's doctors and nurses must treat female genital mutilation (FGM) as child abuse and refer girls who have undergone ritual cutting to the police, leading medical organisations said on Monday.
The National Health Service (NHS) should also start systematically recording data on all FGM cases and share information with social services, schools and police, according to a major report drawn up by professional bodies representing midwives, nurses, gynaecologists, obstetricians and others.
FGM, which is often justified by practising communities on cultural or religious grounds, can cause serious long-term physical and psychological damage.
A 2007 study estimated 66,000 women and girls in England and Wales had undergone FGM and 23,000 girls were at risk, but experts say the figures have gone up. The ritual is mostly practised by communities originating from a swathe of African countries, including Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt and Sierra Leone.
Janet Fyle, professional policy advisor at the Royal College of Midwives, which helped draw up the report, said it was time for everyone to stop hiding behind excuses.
"Even though FGM is child abuse, it has not been our priority because most people have felt that it's a cultural thing and an exotic thing that people from different countries practise," she said.
"Young girls turn up in accident and emergency at age 10 with (urinary) problems and nobody does anything, nobody asks what's going on, and no one has been prosecuted."
It is the first time a plan has been drawn up to systematically tackle FGM across the NHS.
"We are saying, do something about it now," Fyle added. "That is what is groundbreaking – that we've all come together and said this must happen."
The report also calls for the government to launch a nationwide hard-hitting publicity drive on FGM, similar to previous domestic abuse and HIV campaigns.
Public Health Minister Jane Ellison welcomed the report and said one of her priorities was to work on eradicating the "abhorrent practice".
FGM has been illegal in Britain since 1985, but no one has ever been prosecuted. The proposed reforms come amid a concerted drive by police and prosecutors to address this failure.
In a forward to the report, Britain's chief prosecutor Keir Starmer said health and social care professionals had a pivotal role to play in identifying and reporting cases.
FGM, which is a way of controlling a girl's or woman's sexuality, involves the partial or total removal of external genitalia. In its most extreme form the vaginal opening is also sewn closed.
Some professionals are reluctant to intervene when they believe someone has had FGM or might be at risk because they are afraid of causing offence. Many also cite concerns about patient confidentiality. However, the report stresses that their duty to protect a child at risk overrides patient confidentiality.
One of the nine key recommendations is that all girls turning up at NHS services with signs of FGM must be considered potential victims of crime and referred to the police.
Efua Dorkenoo, FGM campaigner at rights group Equality Now, who helped draft the report, said it was "intolerable" that young girls were seeking treatment for FGM-related complications and no one was reporting these cases to police.
"That's what they would normally do with any child abuse," Dorkenoo said. "But they don't do it with FGM because they continue to think it is just a cultural issue."
She said it was too easy for clinicians to turn a blind eye, but they must now be held accountable.
The report says a girl born to a mother with FGM should be considered at "significant risk of harm" and monitored through the child protection system.
Notes should be put in the baby's health records at birth. Social services should make a home visit, and information should be shared with the girl's local doctor, health visitor and school nurse. Girls with older siblings who have undergone FGM should be considered at immediate risk.
The report urges schools in areas where practising communities live to include FGM in the curriculum.
Health workers who provide travel vaccinations to children from practising communities should also be alert. This is because girls are often taken abroad for FGM, even though this is an offence under British law.
Women who have undergone FGM are most likely to be identified through maternity services. The report says staff should inquire about when and where the FGM was performed and ask whether there are female children in the household. A referral to police should be considered.
The recommendations are also backed by professional organisations representing general practitioners, paediatricians and psychiatrists as well as FGM campaigners and survivors.

Raytheon Joint Standoff Weapon C-1 Completes Captive Flight Test Series
FARNBOROUGH, England, -- The U.S. Navy completed a series of three captive flight tests on Raytheon Company's (NYSE: RTN) Joint Standoff Weapon C-1, putting the program closer to achieving initial operating capability in 2012.
JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-ground weapons that employs an integrated GPS- inertial navigation system and terminal imaging infrared seeker, guiding the weapon to the target. JSOW C-1 adds moving maritime target capability and the two-way Strike Common Weapon Datalink (SCWDL) to the combat-proven weapon.
"The Raytheon-U.S. Navy team completed a test series that showed JSOW C-1's seeker can detect moving maritime targets. The tests also demonstrated that JSOW C-1 can communicate via its two-way SCWDL," said Phyllis McEnroe, Raytheon's JSOW program director. "The JSOW platform is a 'truck' with many options that continues to evolve to meet emerging threats. Though not a program of record, we are working on a JSOW extended range variant with an objective range of up to 300 nautical miles (345 statute miles)."
JSOW ER completed its first demonstration flight in October 2009, flying more than 260 nautical miles.
"The warfighter asked for a Link-16 network-enabled standoff weapon that can engage moving maritime targets while maintaining the capability to attack stationary land targets," said Cmdr. Douglas Phelan, the U.S. Navy's JSOW Integrated Product Team leader. "JSOW C-1 will meet this requirement."
Raytheon Company, with 2009 sales of $25 billion, is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, homeland security and other government markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 88 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as a broad range of mission support services. With headquarters in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon employs 75,000 people worldwide.
Raytheon has produced more than 4,000 JSOWs to date, with more than 106 months of continuous on-time delivery. The JSOW-C is currently in production, and Raytheon will continue producing it for international customers.

CBD Capsules Pills Benefits You Need To Learn About
With the topic of whether cannabis should be legalized or not, a lot of interest has been shown on two compounds found in cannabis - the THC compound and the Cannabidiol compound that is better known as the CBD compound. Although these two compounds come from the same plant, their interaction and effects on the body differ quite a lot. As such, ideally they should not be treated as equals but rather considered on their individual merits. However, this has not been the case.
The main difference between THC and CBD is how they interact with our brain receptors. The THC compound has a high affinity to CB1 receptor, yielding a variety of effects such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. However, they also yield a psychoactive effect, which creates the high effects. The psychoactive properties of THC reduce the overall health benefits accrued from the compounds.
On the other hand, the CBD compounds have a very low affinity for CB1 receptors. Instead, CBD has a high affinity to CB2 receptors thus the compounds interacts differently with our brains, yielding far more benefits whilst negating and keeping any psychoactive properties to a minimum. These properties form the foundation of the benefits that CBD Capsules pill consumer get.
Herein we will take an in-depth look at some of the health benefits you get from consuming CBD as well as some of the benefits that you derive from specifically consuming CBD in the of CBD Capsules pills. The benefits of CBD Capsules pills are inextricably linked with the benefits of the CBD compounds. As such, is it only right to have a thorough understanding of what you get from the CBD compound as well as what makes these pills a far better mode of CBD consumption.
The Variety Of Benefits We Get From CBD Oil Consumption
#1. Anti-Oxidant Properties - It is well documented that fruits bear ample supply of anti-oxidants in the form of Vitamin C. New research centered on the effects of CBD as anti-oxidant molecules reveal that the CBD is a powerful anti-oxidant. Additionally, various publish research article indicate that in most cases, CBD molecules are non-toxic for human consumption.
Anti-oxidants molecules are molecules that inhibit the oxidation process. Oxidation is a reaction which yields free-radicals that cause a chain reaction with stored food particles, leading to the deterioration of the food particles as well as body cells. Therefore, CBD can be used to maintain proper health of cells, promoting wholesome body health.
#2. Alleviation/Treatment Of Depression And Anxiety - It should be noted that CBD and THC work in opposite directions. While the THC compounds increase psychoactivity, the CBD compounds work to counteract psychoactivity. This property of CBD has been shown to help in treating depression as well as anxiety. Additionally, the CBD compound is vastly effective in countering the degradation of anandamide, a compound in our bodies that has been associated with feeling less anxious. Therefore, CBD works perfectly to not only counteract excess psychoactivity that may cause depression and anxiety but also protects the compounds that are responsible for maintaining that feel-good feeling.
#3. Reducing And Negating Cigarette Addition - In a study conducted on the ability of CBD to reduce dependency on cigarettes, 24 smokers were chosen with a group being given an inhaler with CBD molecules whilst the control group were given the placebo inhaler. The group that used the inhaler containing CBD experienced a reduction in the amount of cigarettes consumed by as much as forty percent whilst the others experienced no changes. This evidence points towards CBD being capable of reducing cigarette-based nicotine, thus helping smokers to withdraw from smoking.
However, these are not the only benefits that you can accrue from the CBD. Being a Polypharmacological (which means that CBD interacts with various parts of our bodies and yields a variety of effects), the compound is more than capable of treating a variety of ailments. Some of them include cancer, motor disorder, epileptic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain, neuropathic pain, lupus, and Parkinson's disease.
The Various Benefits Of Consuming CBD in The Form Of CBD Capsules Pills
#1. No odor - Whilst CBD comes in a variety of forms and products, only the Capsules option offers low to near zero odor emission. The CBD comes in a as Capsules capsules are entirely self-contained. This means that there is no emission of smells whatsoever, thus making it very easy for individuals with smell sensitivity to consume CBD.
#2. Capsules Are Enteric-Coated - The majority of the pills that are commercially available are enteric-coated. The enteric coating ensures that there is a timely release of CBD in the intestines, whilst negating the exposure of the CBD consumed to the gastric acids. This ensure the integrity of the CBD ultimately absorbed by the body.
#3. Ease Of Storage - Another benefit of these pills is the ease of storage. Unlike CBD oils or other products that are a tad difficult to carry with you, the pills are very easy to carry. The Capsules pills are highly portable since they can be stored in a variety of environments, whilst still maintaining the integrity of the CBD concentrate in the pills. Ease of storage also means that they are very easy to transport. They are not bulky in any way and more often than not, they consume the least amount of space of any CBD product in the market.
Therefore, with the CBD Capsules pills, consumer get a product is safe, easy to carry with them and considerably inexpensive.

Wholesale Bulk Full-Spectrum Capsules
As everyone is waking up to the wide world of marijuana and its products, everyone is finding out just how complicated cannabis is. As it turns out, there are at least 80 different types of cannabinoids alone, and 100 in cannabis and CBD hemp put together. CBD to THC ratios is from 20 to 1 up to 30 to 1; meaning the plant can contain CBD 20 percent and 0.6 percent THC.
Now, what the percentages and ratios mean will differ based upon individual states. In Colorado, those types of ratios are what make up industrial hemp, while other states define 1 percent as industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is not to be confused with the plant material that makes up rope and other manufactured products. High-CBD hemp, as it is known, is different than the fiber hemp used in production. Here's where the confusion is set in motion. Fiber hemp has 1 percent to 2 percent CBD.
Full-spectrum CBD is a powerhouse because it contains terpenes and cannabinoids together. CBD itself is only one small part of the cannabinoid family. Each is able to interact well with the endocannabinoid system. As research is performed, it is coming to light that the CBD has this interaction with the body. It's important that the natural structure and power of the cannabinoids are extracted without breaking down their ability to interact in the endocannabinoid system.
Full spectrum CBD is not inexpensive. If you are searching for it, and come across a great deal, its quality is probably not great. It may mean that there is a problem with the methods used to grow it or how the full-spectrum CBD oil was pulled out of the plant.
The full spectrum CBD, which includes terpenes and cannabinoids, is best extracted using organic alcohol, specifically grape solvents because it is oil soluble. It's never good to use chemical-grade solvents, butane, or propane to extract the oil, such as denatured alcohol.
The issue is when molecular extraction is performed as well. This is too far away from the natural process, which can pull out the extremely beneficial synergies of the plant. If you see a pure crystal CBD, avoid it.
It is also possible to extract high-CBD hemp using carbon dioxide. This is part of the plant's oil soluble part that is taken out of the leaves to leave behind terpenes. This is how a pure extract is derived in order to achieve the full synergy the plant can provide.

An open destination which serves as a link between two continents and in which four different cultures come together and intermingle: Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Jewish. A good way to understand this is by following the Route of the Temples, which takes a tour of the holy places of each of these religions. Another attraction is its Modernist architecture. In fact, after Barcelona, this is the city in Spain with the most Art Déco and Modernist buildings –about 900. Another highlight is the Ciudadela citadel, an outstanding example of the evolution of military architecture between the 15th and 18th centuries. And finally, Melilla is the perfect destination for sports enthusiasts. Attractions in the surrounding area include a visit to Mount Gurugú with its resident colony of monkeys, and water sports lovers will be able to have fun with water bikes, as well as scuba-diving on its rocky sea bed, with its abundance of marine life.

Paul Holmes, Brian Edwards, Gavin Ellis and a Gadfly all walk into a bar
Apparently my comment about Paul Holmes have ruffled some middle class feathers over at the Kiwi Journalist Facebook page...
For his services to middle class racism - arise Sir Paul Holmes - one very short knight after decades of cheeky darkies
Former Herald editor and Auckland University lecturer Gavin Ellis was not amused...
Unbecoming, Bomber. Just for a moment imagine yourself in his precarious health position and ask yourself how you would react to such bitterness if it were directed at you.
...the veritable Jim Tucker tsk tsked my churlishness while Fran O'Sullivan heaped gravy bowls full of platitudes upon the little Knight for his services to broadcasting.
Even the godfather of the left, Brian Edwards claimed to have been disgusted by my remark and his comment section was abuzz with my inhumanity.
How precious of everyone.
I don't wish ill upon a dying man. His passing, whenever it occurs will be deeply felt by his whanau, his friends and the wider NZ community, but I for one simply can't go along with the ridiculous narrative that underpins most of this posturing.
Yes Paul Holmes was a large fish in a tiny pond and he is friends with much of the established media, but that can't inoculate him from criticism or a far more sober review of his legacy.
Paul Holmes may have been funny and talented and a clever broadcaster, but for a man with so much ability and so much influence, what did he do for NZ?
His race baiting set the standard for everyone else, he legitimized and justified a garden variety bigotry as a broadcaster. From his cheeky darkie comment, to his bewildering planting of a tree on One Tree Hill despite the cultural sensitivities to his openly racist Waitangi Day column, Paul Holmes didn't challenge the ignorance of his audience, he feed it...
Waitangi Day produced its usual hatred, rudeness, and violence against a clearly elected Prime Minister from a group of hateful, hate-fuelled weirdos who seem to exist in a perfect world of benefit provision. This enables them to blissfully continue to believe that New Zealand is the centre of the world, no one has to have a job and the Treaty is all that matters.
I'm over Waitangi Day. It is repugnant. It's a ghastly affair. As I lie in bed on Waitangi morning, I know that later that evening, the news will show us irrational Maori ghastliness with spitting, smugness, self-righteousness and the usual neurotic Maori politics, in which some bizarre new wrong we've never thought about will be lying on the table.
This, we will have to address and somehow apply these never-defined principles of the Treaty of Waitangi because it is, apparently, the next big resentment. There'll be lengthy discussion, we'll end up paying the usual millions into the hands of the Maori aristocracy and God knows where it'll go from there.
Well, it's a bullshit day, Waitangi. It's a day of lies. It is loony Maori fringe self-denial day. It's a day when everything is addressed, except the real stuff.
Never mind the child stats, never mind the national truancy stats, never mind the hopeless failure of Maori to educate their children and stop them bashing their babies. No, it's all the Pakeha's fault. It's all about hating whitey. Believe me, that's what it looked like the other day.
...his willful ignorance after being a broadcaster in this country for the period of time he has is not acceptable. It's beneath an educated person.
And this, this is simply vile...
No, if Maori want Waitangi Day for themselves, let them have it. Let them go and raid a bit more kai moana than they need for the big, and feed themselves silly, speak of the injustices heaped upon them by the greedy Pakeha and work out new ways of bamboozling the Pakeha to come up with a few more millions.
...now I accept that this may have been another editorial failure of the NZ Herald akin to Garth George's terrible column on global warming and John Armstrong's misjudged attack on bloggers, but the fact remains that Paul didn't slaughter sacred cows, he milked them.
I remember watching my very first Holmes program. It was exhilarating. Dennis Conner had been so rude and mean spirited when he had drunkenly abused our America's Cup team. Paul asking him repeatedly if he would apologize until he walked off stage in a tantrum was the first time I ever felt the media was on my side. Holmes had so much talent, it makes his later descent into needless race baiting all the more sad.
Many will trumpet and salute his eventual passing. I won't. Sure, I'll give him a thumbs up when the hearse drives by, but a broadcaster as talented as he was should have done so much more for our cultural narrative rather than reinforcing prejudice.
He was good, but he could have been great.

AACF recently celebrated 40 years of ministry. We are part of the Campus Ministries of the Japanese Evangelical Missionary Society. For more information about JEMS, please go to www.JEMS.org. In 1972-73, a group of students formed the JEMS Campus Bible Study at Cal State Los Angeles. Soon, other similar groups began to form throughout Southern California. In 1977, the group at Cal State Long Beach adopted the name Asian American Christian Fellowship, which eventually became the official name of our ministry.
[one_third]AACF Mission Statement
The mission of Asian American Christian Fellowship (AACF) is to reach into the university and collegiate community, primarily to those who are Asian Pacific Americans, with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
We are committed to making disciples by educating and equipping students in biblical foundations, Christian disciplines, and the development of spiritual gifts in order to prepare them for witness and service on the campus, in the local church, in the marketplace, and in world missions.
Who We Are
Jesus commands us in the Great Commission that we are to go to all the "nations". We understand the word nations not to mean geo-political boundaries but a command to go to all the "ethnos" or people groups.The Bible instructs us to creatively go with the never changing message of Jesus Christ to all peoples. AACF is called to teach people, specifically those who relate to being Asian Pacific Americans, biblical foundations within a culturally-sensitive context so that their faith will be lived out in a growing and dynamic manner.
Asian American Christian Fellowship is a ministry geared to reach Asian American college students. Before us is the immense task of reaching the 95% Asian Americans who do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. This is the last major opportunity to share Christ as students congregate on college and university campuses and ponder major decisions for their future. AACF provides an opportunity for students to grapple with the issue of God in their lives. How will the Lord use you to spiritually challenge these students and bring them into His Kingdom? We invite you to join in partnership with AACF and share in His awesome works.
Student Initiative
AACF is a campus-based ministry initiated and led by students. Student leaders gather to use the summer months to organize the year's focus and activities. During the school year they meet regularly for support and training to meet the special needs of their AACF group. Committed leadership that prays and cares for its community with God's love is a model of leadership we trust will carry over into church life. The role of the Campus Minister is to partner with student leaders to empower, encourage and nurture them for service on the campus. As members of this team, Campus Ministers advise and counsel student leaders to grow as disciples alongside the students as they reach the campus for Jesus Christ.
AACF Statement of Faith
[dropcap style="font-size: 60px; color: #9b9b9b;"] A [/dropcap]sian American Christian Fellowship (AACF) as the campus ministry division of JEMS, believes: » That the Bible is God's Word, written by men divinely and uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
- In One God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- In Jesus Christ, the world's only Savior; in His pre-existence, virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, burial, and bodily resurrection and personal return.
- In the Holy Spirit as a Person, indwelling and empowering the believer, convicting the unsaved and presenting the claims of Christ.
- That sinful man is lost and can be redeemed only by the death and shed blood of Christ upon the cross through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit.
- In the resurrection of the dead, the believer to life everlasting and the unbeliever to eternal condemnation.

Yet if we ask whether these edges were in the original graph, we receive different answers.

This strikes me as inconsistent.
Postscript: Should

@R.M 's response makes a lot of sense:
MemberQ[EdgeList[g], b \[UndirectedEdge] a] answers True if and only if
b \[UndirectedEdge] a, is literally in
EdgeList[g]. It will not respond True if that edge is listed in
EdgeList[g] as

EdgeQ[g, b \[UndirectedEdge] a] will respond True whether that edge is stored in

Even so, it seems to me that

The kill-ring. You know about the kill-ring, right?
C-h i m emacs RET kill ring RET
Ok, now you know about the kill-ring, it is basically a list of all the chunks of text that have been cut (
C-w) (or just saved using
M-w). The basic interaction with the kill-ring is:
C-y (aka "yank" aka "paste")
After you've pasted text, if you didn't want that, but an earlier chunk of text, the key
M-y will cycle through the earlier chunks, replacing what was just pasted with the earlier text.
If that's too much for you to handle, you can browse the entries in the kill-ring and paste them in (more than one if you want).
To get it, go to the wiki and download it.
To install and use, do the standard download, load-path manipulation, and:

Nice article. One small correction: I think that by default M-w saves text and that C-w cuts it.

Aspen Film's Shortsfest announces long lineup
To engage, rouse, infuriate, touch and more — all in under 40 minutes.
So goes the mandate of Aspen Film's Shortsfest 2012 (April 10-15) and the ambitions of the international collection of filmmakers it showcases.
In a state with no shortage of film festivals and assorted other moviegoer opps, Shortsfest remains a special viewing experience.
The recent Academy Award triumph of Denver-based filmmaker Daniel Junge for his and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's documentary short, "Saving Face," (screening at the festival, April 13, 5:30) underscores the heft the terse can have.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the festival announced this week its six-day lineup. A few of next year's Oscar noms are sure to be found amid Shortsfest's 11 competition programs. Tickets go on sale March 26. At www.aspenshowtix.com; the Wheeler Box Office 320 E. Hyman Ave, Aspen, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily; or by phone at 970-920-5770 or 866-449-0464, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Selena Gomez has thanked her fans for their support throughout her rehab stint.
The Come And Get It singer completed her secret stay at the Dawn At The Meadows treatment centre in Arizona for two weeks in January.
"I've done everything I could to the best of my ability," she wrote on her Instagram account, with a photo of herself smiling on a boat.
"Thank you for the unconditional love and cyber hugs. You inspire me," the 21-year-old added.
A spokesman for Selena previously said: "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse."
Her admission came shortly after she cancelled the Australian and Asian leg of her Stars Dance tour.
Selena issued a statement through promoter Live Nation at the time saying that she needed to spend more time on "myself".
"My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them," she said.
"But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be. To my fans, I sincerely apologise and I hope you guys know how much each and every one of you mean to me."

A couple years ago, I picked up an Xperia X10i secondhand. The phone itself has been working great; no problems whatsoever. It's a real workhorse. I unlocked it almost instantly, and followed some steps I Googled way back when to open it up completely. I can't quite remember what it was, but it was supposed to root the phone. I don't think I managed to actually root it, but it's been working fine, regardless.
Lately, I've been wanting to update the firmware on it. Every time I use the Sony Ericsson PC Companion or Update Service, though, to try to update the firmware, it just tells me I have the latest version.
How can I go about updating this to 2.1 or higher? Are there steps a technically-savvy, but Android newbie could follow to update the firmware?
I'm willing to blow it all away if I have to, although I'd really prefer to not have to do that.

Target, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods lead retail race to safer chemicals
Target, Wal-Mart, Whole Foods lead retail race to safer chemicals
Target, Wal-Mart and Whole Foods Market are leading retailers in the race to provide safer chemicals in products. With their newly announced chemical policies, Target and Wal-Mart [PDF] have joined Whole Foods Market in moving well beyond regulations to reduce the chemical footprints of household cleaning and personal care products sold in their stores.
Significantly, these initiatives are driving manufacturers of direct-exposure chemical products -- starting with cosmetics, personal care and household cleaning products -- to:
• Know more about the chemicals in their products and supply chains.
• Be more transparent with the public about the chemicals in their products.
• Avoid chemicals of high concern and shift to inherently safer chemicals.
• Commit to continuous improvement toward greener chemistry in their products.
All three companies are on the right path -- but just how far along are they? Each company has its own unique take on how to implement a program to reduce the chemical footprint of products sold in its stores. At Clean Production Action, we've been examining the effectiveness of cleaner-chemical initiatives. Here is our initial assessment of the chemical policies of these leading retailers -- how far they go, the questions they raise and what we hope to see next.
Retailers think big
Target's Sustainable Product Standard establishes a product scoring system for household cleaning, personal care, beauty and baby care products (with cosmetics to be added in 2014). These product categories will be scored on five attributes: ingredients (50 points), transparency (20 points), animal testing (5 points), packaging (20 points) and water quality (5 points). The scoring system does not set requirements for suppliers. Instead, Target, in its words, will "learn with our vendors how to improve our entire selection of products."
Target's first step is sensible and a significant task: to understand its current chemical footprint, including the extent to which more than 1,000 chemicals of high concern are present in certain product categories sold in its stores. Yet key implementation questions remain, including: How many of the 1,000-plus chemicals are relevant to the product categories targeted, how will suppliers respond, how will trade-secret ingredient claims be addressed and how will Target use the scores to select and de-select products?
Wal-Mart's Policy on Sustainable Chemistry in Consumables sets criteria for household cleaning, personal care, beauty and cosmetic products to meet. It has two pathways: 1) for Wal-Mart private-brand cleaning products and 2) for suppliers. For private-brand cleaning products, Wal-Mart will begin "to the extent possible" in 2014 to meet the criteria of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Design for the Environment (DfE) Label. For suppliers, Wal-Mart's goals are to increase transparency ("require suppliers to provide online public ingredient disclosure"); reduce or eliminate roughly 10 priority chemicals in household cleaning, personal care, beauty and cosmetic products; and publicly report on progress toward these goals in 2016.
Implementation questions on the Wal-Mart policy include: What are the 10 priority chemicals, what percent of private-brand cleaning products will meet US EPA DfE criteria, how will public ingredient disclosure by suppliers address trade-secret claims on chemical classes such as fragrances, and will Wal-Mart move beyond the initial 10 priority chemicals to other chemicals of high concern to human health and the environment?
Whole Foods Market's Eco-Scale Rating System for household cleaning products is more like a tiered eco-label. The Eco-Scale Rating defines four tiers of criteria -- red, orange, yellow and green -- applied to labeling household cleaning products stocked on its shelves. "Red" means that the product fails to meet the "orange" criteria and cannot be sold in the store. The "orange" (baseline) criteria include the requirements of: 1) "full disclosure of ingredients on packaging" and 2) ingredient hazards must have "no significant environmental or safety concerns." Whole Foods Market defines full disclosure as requiring that all intentionally added ingredients must be listed on all products.
How Whole Foods deals with concerns about full-ingredient disclosure, including trade secret ingredients, and how it defines "no significant environmental or safety concerns" and "no moderate environmental or safety concerns" (a criterion among the "yellow" and "green" criteria) is unclear. Whole Foods also has an innovative program for personal care products, the Premium Body Care Standards.
Tracking progress on the path to safer chemicals
So how do the Target, Wal-Mart and Whole Foods Market initiatives compare to one another?
The Guide to Safer Chemicals provides a comprehensive, transparent and publicly available framework for benchmarking corporate initiatives for safer chemicals. The guide uses a hiking metaphor of four benchmarks (Trailhead, Base Camp, High Camp and Summit) for tracking progress toward: knowing chemicals in products and supply chains, disclosing those chemicals to the public, assessing and avoiding chemical hazards, continuous improvement and supporting policy initiatives. The benchmarks start from beyond regulatory compliance and increase in complexity and difficulty as they move toward the Summit, which only a very few companies have reached.
Whole Foods Market's Eco-Scale Rating System's green criteria, while limited to a single category of products (household cleaners), comes the closest to Summit in categories laid out in The Guide to Safer Chemicals: Know (Summit); Disclose to Public (almost Summit); Assess & Avoid Hazards (almost Summit); and Continuous Improvement (almost High Camp). However, the percentage of household cleaning products sold at Whole Foods that meet the green criteria is unclear.
Wal-Mart's adoption of the US EPA's Design for Environment Label is the next most ambitious initiative, in that the DfE Label is already a well-developed program with clear criteria for chemicals of concern and safer chemicals. The DfE Label reaches these benchmarks in The Guide to Safer Chemicals: Know (High Camp); Disclose to Public (Base Camp and on path to High Camp); and Assess & Avoid Hazards (almost Summit). Continuous improvement is not applicable to the DfE Label.
Like the Eco-Scale Rating System of Whole Foods Market, Wal-Mart will apply the DfE Label only to household cleaning products, and there is an open question of what percentage of private-label household cleaning products will meet the DfE Label criteria. Wal-Mart did not specify a goal of 100 percent DfE cleaners by any date.
Wal-Mart's initiative with its suppliers reaches these benchmarks in The Guide to Safer Chemicals: Know (High Camp); Disclose to Public (Base Camp and on path to High Camp); Assess & Avoid Hazards (Trailhead); and Continuous Improvement (reaching elements of Summit and High Camp by way of avoiding Base Camp, which would be endorsing the principles of BizNGO, a coalition of business and environmental leaders advancing safer chemicals and sustainable materials).
Many questions surround the Wal-Mart initiative, as noted above, including the extent of disclosure to the public and limited number of chemicals of high concern addressed.
Target's initiative, while broader than Wal-Mart's, at least initially doesn't reach many benchmarks because it is a scoring system with implementation still to be determined. For example, Target's "chemicals of high concern" list of more than 1,000 chemicals is far greater than Wal-Mart's undisclosed list of 10 chemicals -- but how and whether Target ensures the elimination of all 1,000-plus chemicals of high concern is still to be determined.
Target's Product Sustainability Standard reaches these benchmarks in The Guide to Safer Chemicals: Know (High Camp); Disclose to Public (Baseline, meets no benchmark, but suppliers receiving maximum points for "transparency" are at High Camp); Assess & Avoid Hazards (meets no benchmark, but suppliers receiving maximum points for "ingredients" would be at Base Camp); and Continuous Improvement (reaching elements of High Camp by way of avoiding Base Cam; endorses BizNGO Principles).
For a summary of the retailers' progress, see the table Retailers on the Path to Safer Chemical Summits.
Overall assessment
The policies of Wal-Mart, Target and Whole Foods Market are all on the trail to safer chemicals and heading in the right direction. They demonstrate how businesses can take leadership in the race to the top for safer chemicals, and they represent a significant and unprecedented step forward.
It's a long road ahead. For far too long, businesses have operated in a reactive environment, content to manage chemical risk by way of complying with regulations rather than being proactive by knowing and disclosing chemicals, assessing hazards and selecting safer alternatives. These retailer policies challenge the status quo and represent a huge shift in thinking in the marketplace: it's time for manufacturers to go up the trail to more knowledge and better standards for safer chemicals.
This is the beginning of the story, not the end. We will continue to track the policies of Wal-Mart, Target, Whole Foods Market and others, promote the best in-class initiatives and the resources that make them successful and publicly report what we find.

When he was eight years old Ryan Bennett dreamed of running his own garage business. After years of hard work, that dream is a reality. Following The Yarn's debate about the housing crisis in West Dorset, Ryan gives his view.
After all of the recent debates in our community about the housing crisis in West Dorset, I think it's important not to overlook other aspects of development required by a growing population, namely transport, work and healthcare.
As I was born in Dorset 30 years ago and have been driving for 13, I have travelled a few miles in and around the county and used every road possible to get into it and out of it. In every direction, we are an hour away from a motorway. Heading north from Bridport, the first 15 miles can barely be described as a main road. East and west of Bridport, the road is described as a death trap every week, with various spots such as Miles Cross notorious. The A35 is frequently shut due to collisions, often fatal. A lot of accidents are found to be due to human error, but I think many people would agree that our roads just aren't capable of taking the amount of traffic that has to use them.
The detriment to the community isn't just the horrendous personal and financial cost of accidents, nor the delays in getting where we want to get to, there's also the deterrent effect on potential investment by businesses and entrepreneurs who might be interested in setting up in this area. When they look at the links for receiving and distributing goods, and time factors, will they like what they see?
Some people may say that a dual carriageway in and out of Bridport isn't going to help my son or daughter find a property to buy/rent and live in, but where do these people think their children are going to work? Jobs in Bridport can be difficult to find and with the government increasing the retirement age, with people being healthier and able to work for longer, or more strapped for cash and needing to work for longer, travelling further afield to find employment may be something that just has to be done.
I'm not saying that a factory employing 500 people on a production line is the answer, but — quite simply — if such a business were looking to set up in the South West, would Bridport with its archaic transport links even be considered?
Over the years, I can recall various new housing developments in Bridport. I reckon the population has probably increased between a quarter and a third of what it was, and with proposed developments such as Vearse Farm to the west of the town (760 houses) and the proposal for 33 new homes near Bridport Leisure Centre, the town is set to keep on growing. Which brings me on to my next big point.
After three years trying to find a building to work from, I gave up
With an increasing population, we must have enough workspace for existing businesses to grow and for new ones to start.
Having had a vision at the age of eight to have my own garage, I searched for years in Bridport to find a premises to start my dream venture.
After three years trying to find a building to work from, I gave up. I was forced to share a building with an existing tenant until something more suitable became available.
I found it quite startling that people with dreams like mine, who want to live in Bridport and do well, are hampered because the people that govern our district have no thought for us.
When I brought up the subject of increased workspace with a local councillor who is heavily involved in the Bridport local plan I was amazed to hear the phrase — "you have really surprised me saying that, no one has mentioned that yet…"
No one in local authority has even thought for one second that we may need some more industrial parks in the area for the youth to develop and prosper! Surely to anyone with sanity it's common sense. To live in a house you need to have a job, to have a job you normally need somewhere to work !
Then there's healthcare. Bridport's new medical centre in West Allington was controversial. Lots of people objected to it. But it was sold to us on the basis that it would be big enough to cope with demand for years to come and that services would improve. We'd be able to see GPs without too much of a wait and a growing population would enjoy better treatment
But — have you tried making an appointment there recently? I hear more and more in conversations with family, friends and colleagues of the battle they must go through to see a GP in a reasonable amount of time. How is this issue going to be addressed if the proposed new housing developments proceed? 760 houses at Vearse Farm could mean more than 2,000 extra people living close to the town centre. Will they have to use the current services, or will additional resources be put in place?
I think it's high time that we as a community protest to those who govern us that, as well as houses, we need the infrastructure that goes with them. Not many people would have seven children yet expect to live in a one-bedroom flat, so why is it appropriate to have thousands of houses with no suitable roads, no areas for people to work, and — most importantly — no chance of seeing your family doctor without a debate with a receptionist?
Perhaps we need to focus on one element at a time. Take transport for example: imagine that we're travelling from London to Exeter. It's great until Ringwood, but then — give or take a few miles — we're stuck on a congested stop-start single carriageway until we reach Honiton — when we can join the dualled A30.
Let's move to the future!
How about if we all pushed for a dual carriageway from Honiton to Ringwood? Think how much easier it would be for tourists to access our area, while for us, travel times to Exeter would probably be halved, going to London would not be so much of a chore, and taking the family out on a Bank Holiday weekend wouldn't involve the daunting thought of having to leave before breakfast to beat the traffic.
I've name it already "H2R" — Honiton to Ringwood
Ideas like this need to be put forward if we are to keep Bridport on the map and be a prosperous, vibrant community for my generation and future ones who want to stay in the town and live here. I've named it already "H2R" — Honiton to Ringwood.
Perhaps someone reading this would like to start the ball rolling!

Very evocative of childhood and that naive intimacy.
Lovely work Joan.
It reminds me of when Bobby Launs moved from next door and went to Viet Nam and I was desolate. I love your work.
this was a joy to follow - thankyou:)
The art is amazing…and it is an engaging tale…I didn't know what was cooking in the lab with the neighbors' stories, but now I see…You really made something from childhood noteworthy…I like the voice…
Great reminiscence on the limited world-view of childhood. Share more, please.
Turned out to be a page turner (or page clicker as we say in the 21st century).
I want to read more about those… neighbors.
What a tough little survivor Cass was. She's probably out illustrating comc books somewhere. I wonder if she's still a woman. Good work, Joan.
What a tough little survivor that Cass was. I wonder if she's still a woman. Nice work, Joan.
This is beautiful!!! I love it.
Joan, this is great! I can imagine this is something almost everyone can connect with on several levels. First is that time in a child's life when you realize everyone doesn't have the same home life and second the first time a close friend moves away. Real and relatable. Wonderful!
Excellent piece. Very evocative of a certain time and place, without being sentimental or overly nostalgic. And the art is just right.
I'm glad you kept it in b/w. It's just right. Great story about the helplessness of being a child - like sitting in a waiting room.
This was amazing! I have goosebumps.
Beautiful work! I love the honesty and vividness of Joan's prose and art.
Wonderful on every level. Thank you.
Thanks so much everyone for reading and commenting!
Joan, this is amazing. The story is heartbreaking but clear-eyed and the drawings, especially the architecture and the basement scenes, are really evocative. I especially love the "Eeeeeeeeeah/THUD" panel.
Can't we get hi-horse back together?
Honest and moving
My GOD, Joan. That was incredible. I feel like an ass for coming to the party late, but this one has been well worth it. It's a crime you don't do more comix. It's beautiful, smart, and touching. Thank you.
Hi Joan–It's Sari on Josh's computer. I loved this piece–the tone and the art are perfectly matched! It has something in common with the one I wrote–coming up from Josh.
Great work Joan!
You have such a talent for capturing the innocence and yet dark side of childhood.
Love the illustration and detail.
Amazing work Joan! You can really "feel" it - the environment, and the emotional loss.
Wow, what a story, Joan. Incredibly well thought out, detailed, and executed. Absolutely first rate.
I'm still rooting for her. She has to survive.
yuck yuck, I grew up at the Cass'. Lovely story so far, don't know if I'll bear it
Thanks and best of luck with your 'Working' piece.
Studs was and is great.
Mike Garman
Brilliant…weirdly evocative, I'm sure this piece will resonate with anyone who has ever been a child and had that one "bestest friend"…enchanting story and beautiful art.
Thanks for sharing that intimate part of your childhood Joan. You have a wonderful gift and I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thank you for your cartoon.
Good Idea art and design.
Well the make believe stuff was good but the touchy feely stuff at the end was wrong they were way to young to get involved with that. Parents should have monitored it closer.

This is beautiful!!! I love it.
very nice story
i like this cartoon thank.
It is a good idea so I can not think of anything much at all.
Spot on with this write-up, I truly think this amazing site needs far more attention. I'll probably be returning to read more, thanks for the information!

Perfect trail to bring the kiddos to ride or walk.
Very chill to bike this trail. I did it early morning on weekdays . Wish it never ended
It's a little hard to find the entry from the Strand Vista parking lot, but we figured it out thanks to a helpful dog walker. For the part actually on the headlands, expect a gentle slope down to the tip and a gentle slope back up, mostly packed dirt or sand with areas of loose sand. Perfect for young children. Grandparents who are steady on loose sand will be fine too. Bring binoculars to look at the boats on the water. The nature center is interesting and well done for a small nature center.
This is truly one of the most picturesque trails that I've found in OC. I'm lucky to live where the trail starts near El Toro and Ridgeline, so I am right on the trail and it's a beautiful and well-kept bikeway where I do my longer runs. I'm so happy I found this one! I'll be doing my long runs here for sure!
I absolutely love walking on the Pacific electric trail. I am on it several times a week.
BUT there are no restroom facilities! The only one is at the trail hub....and that's it! What are we suppose to do? Not drink water while exercise? Pee in a bush on the side of the trail? There absolutely NEEDS to be restroom facilities along the trail.
This is definitely one of my favorite trails. It's well maintained, safe and easy to park.
Starting from El Segundo to Compton Blvd the trail is very dirty road has many cracks and lots of broken glass. Pop both tires one with a piece of glass the other had a thorn stuck in it. Only made it to Alondra and trail was getting better.
Nice wide trail with asphalt and gravel I run almost every Saturday morning. Easy access and parking. Sometimes busy with families, dogs, bikes and horses, but the trail is so wide there is always room. I usually carry my own water so adding restrooms would make this a 5-star trail!
The trail itself is as beautiful as ever, however, the place is infested with the homeless. I don't recommend anyone go there alone and at night. Not safe for women with children when the sun is low or gone. It's really unfortunate that the city can't really do anything about the homeless building communities alongside the trail border walls (the back of homes and businesses where all the greenery is), because of their legal human rights. Enjoy the trail, but be aware of your surrounding.
This is a great path to ride your bike fairly easy. my kids have done it from start to finish
Water and nice views
Rode from Centennial Park to downtown Huntington Beach. Nice trail with lots to see. Trail dumps you right into huntington beach.
