Looking at the latest annual release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Major Work Stoppages report, it's a wonder workers unions hold any sway over politics or policy these days.
Certainly, as the data shows, union strikes and lockouts are no longer posing any functional risk to private industry. (Click here for a larger image of the chart.)
For the full year 2009, there were only five major strikes (strikes affecting 1000 or more workers) three of which consisted of state and local government workers with the other two affecting only 4000 private workers over relatively short periods resulting in a total of 73,500 idle work days.
Although this is by far the lowest number of major work stoppages on record, looking back at the trend of the last 25 years, the result is not very surprising.
Of course, it's important to consider the fact that many of the jobs traditionally associated to the periods of greater union activity seen between the 40s – 70s essentially don't exist anymore.

Obama Caves to Israel Lobby by Ray McGovern
On Tuesday morning Director of National Intelligence, Admiral Dennis Blair, employed the indicative mood in describing the high value that Chas Freeman, his appointee to head the National Intelligence Council (NIC), will bring to the job – "his long experience and inventive mind," for example. By five o'clock in the afternoon, Freeman announced that he had asked that his selection "not proceed."
Not one to mince words, Freeman spelled out the strange set of affairs surrounding the flip-flop and the implications of what had just happened. Borrowing the pointed warning from George Washington's Farewell Address against developing a "passionate attachment" to the strategic goals of another nation, Freeman made it clear that he was withdrawing his "previous acceptance" of Blair's invitation to chair the NIC because of the character assassination of him orchestrated by the Israel Lobby.
The implications? Freeman was clear:
"The outrageous agitation…will be seen by many to raise serious questions about whether the Obama administration will be able to make its own decisions about the Middle East and related issues…[It casts] doubt on its ability to consider, […]

How to house your special needs or disabled bunny rabbit
The right housing and bedding can make all the difference to your special needs bunny...and can make your life a lot easier as you care for your special pet. As you create your own space for your special needs bunny, you're aiming to create housing that is:
- Soft: special needs bunnies are often confined to just a few comfortable positions, or they may fall over or roll. Cushioning is critical for these rabbits. We also recommend cushioning the side walls of the pen or cage so that your bunny can lean or rest against the bars comfortably.
- Easy to wash: you'll want at least two full sets of bedding for your special needs rabbit, so you can easily swap out bedding that needs to be washed. We actually recommend three full sets just in case.
- Dry on the surface: This is critical! Rabbits who aren't able to move easily, or who are unable to use a litter box, can easily get urine scald. Urine scald is treatable but painful for your bunny. Avoid urine scald by using a top layer of faux sheepskin (examples below). We've found nothing that works as well as this to wick moisture away from your bunny's delicate skin.
- Absorbent: Layers under the sheepskin have to do the job of absorbing urine. Luckily, old towels do a great job, and they are easy to find.
- Accessible to both you and your rabbit: You want to create a space that is easy for you to clean, and that makes it easy for you to interact with your bunny. Pets and love are critical! You also want to make sure that everything in the area is accessible to your bunny. This includes food dishes, water dishes, and litterboxes...which you can cut down (examples below).
The perfect housing and bedding configuration for a special needs rabbit
Well, it may not be perfect, but it's working very well for us and our bunnies!
- Start with an X-Pen. Standard X-Pens have 8 panels, and can be configured to make a 4' by 4' square pen. If your bunny is still somewhat mobile, and doesn't have seizures, fall over and not be able to get up, or spin, he or she will enjoy the space. If your bunny does have seizures, fall over and not get up, or spin, see below for our advice on housing extremely ill rabbits.
- Create a waterproof barrier to cover the floor, and make sure it's at least a little larger than the X-Pen. While you can use a thin layer of plastic for this, we find it's worth it to invest in something a little more substantial that will last longer. We've used various materials for this, including:
- A large sheet of plexiglas, or
- A waterproof tarp, cut into 4.5' X 4.5' squares, or
- A large sheet of thick plastic from a roll, or
- A vinyl flooring remnant (however, be careful. Some of these can 'off-gas' chemicals that aren't good for your rabbit.), or
- A plastic chair mat meant to be used in an office, or
- Whatever you can find that's waterproof!
- Cover the waterproof layer with a cushioned layer. You can just use several layers of towels, but we find that a cushioned layer makes the bunny more comfortable without using up tons of towels that have to be washed frequenty. Note that you can put the cushioned layer against the floor and then cover it with the waterproof layer...we like to use two waterproof layers to keep things easy to clean. For cushioning, we use a foam layer that's covered with vinyl. More ideas you can try:
- Old yoga mats, or
- Old camping bedroll mats, or
- Cushioned mats meant to go on the kitchen floor, or
- Egg-crate foam cut to size and covered with a waterproof sheet, or,
- Whatever you can find that's soft and is, or can be made to be, waterproof!
- Washable Pee Pads. These will absorb any pee that seeps through the towel layer. Buy them using this link and our shelter gets a small percentage.
- Time for towels! Layer towels onto the surface. Helpful hint: we've started sewing together two bath towels along the long edge. This makes one big towel that covers the entire X-Pen area! We love it because the edges fit neatly under the X-Pen panels, and they don't shift and bunch up like two separate towels can.
- The most important layer of all: "Sherpa" faux sheepskin 'fuzzy' material. We swear by this stuff. It wicks moisture away from your bunny and into the towels, it's easy to wash--it's great. With one exception: one or two of our bunnies think it's super fun to eat it, which is NOT good, because that can cause a blockage (Darnit, Roo! Stop eating your fuzzy!). Do NOT use blanket-fleece material instead. Instead of wicking moisture away from your rabbit, it maintains big wet spots that can cause urine scald.
- Amazon is the best place to get sherpa fabric for special needs bunnies. This brand and type work to wick moisture away...not all brands do. Use this link to buy from Amazon and our rescue gets a small percentage too!
- Create a bumper against the walls of the pen. Not all bunnies need a bumper, but we like to provide one for extra comfort and cute leaning opportunities. We use crib bumpers, which are often easy to find at your local thrift store! They are also machine washable, which is convenient. Other ideas for bumpers:
- Rolled-up towels or rolled-up fuzzy material
- Home-made bumpers created out of old stockings (see the photo, below!)
- See below for more info on rolls of fabric for special needs bunnies.
- Use a cut-down litterbox or litter 'tray.' We cut down one side of a standard litterbox to make it easy for special needs bunnies to get into them. We also have used trays-like big versions of cafeteria trays-for some of our 'down' bunnies ('down' means that the bunny is partially paralyzed and can't stand on his or her own). We cover the bottom of the litterbox or tray with woodstove pellets (that's the litter we use) and a generous layer of hay.
- Use shallow food and water bowls to make it easy for your bunny to eat and drink.
Additional advice for housing extremely ill rabbits
We always recommend x-pens over cages, because most cages are simply too small for most bunnies. The one exception is for critically ill rabbits who are having extreme balance issues or who suffer from seizures or rolling. In this case, we recommend using a smaller, plastic-bottomed cage with a detachable 'roof' for easy access.
Our goal with these rabbits is to stabilize them so they don't constantly fall over and panic or struggle to get up. The struggle can often cause 'carpet burns' on their skin as they repeatedly struggle with their legs.
We set up the interior of the cage much like we do with x-pens. With a cage, you don't necessarily need the bottom waterproof layer, as it's easy to clean the plastic bottom of the cage itself.
To set up your cage:
- Cover the bottom of the cage with folded towels. Try to create a smooth surface to minimize the possibility of creating pressure points.
- Cover the towels with a faux sheepskin 'fuzzy' layer. You can either tuck the fuzzy under the towel or, if you know how to sew, you can create the equivalent of a 'bottom sheet.' Simply create a hem on all sides of the fuzzy and string elastic through the hem. This will help keep the fuzzy in place even if your bunny moves around a lot or digs.
- If your rabbit is still able to use a litterbox, and there is room, use a cut-down litterbox. Some of the commercially available litterboxes are already fairly low-edged on one side and fit well into cages. We find that our severely ill rabbits can't continue to use the litterbox, so we change their bedding every day. It's handy to have three sets of towels and three fuzzies on hand for this purpose.
- Create bumpers. You can roll up towels or roll up extra fuzzy material to do this. In severe cases, we have surrounded an ill bunny with the bumpers to keep him or her from rolling or falling. One of our special needs rabbits, Sunshine, lived propped up by bumpers for many months. She was happy as long as she felt secure, got lots of attention, and yummy food to enjoy. That's her in our logo!
Rolls for Rabbits!
We're not exactly sure why, but special needs bunnies seem to LOVE rolls of fabric. Our paralyzed or 'down' bunnies always love to lean on them, lay over them, and just basically rely on them for comfort. It's easy to provide create a safe 'rabbit roll':
- Use sherpa fabric (see above)
- Create a long roll and tie it to make sure it stays rolled. Too much loose fabric can be dangerous for a special needs bunny with limited mobility.
Litterboxes for special needs bunnies
If you have a bunny who is special needs, but not totally immobile, you might want to try this litterbox 'pro tip' to create a litterbox that is much less slippery and much easier for a disabled bunny to use.

Accessing The Marrow.........Or How To Become....Not You/
Accessing The Marrow...Or How To become, NOT YOU
Rick Moser
Wandering among the inner vistas, views which by their very nature seem only as unreachable dreams for most of us, it occurs to me there might be a method by which some of you readers will stand for nothing less than full accessibility. Accessing the marrow of Life in every aspect of your daily travels can yield amazing results. Most of us learn to be content with the hum drum existence, taking for granted no one really has any specific "answers" for both the "big" questions (Why are we here, What is my Purpose...etc) as well as the little ones like why did I pay over $20 for this book anyway?
Since the entire idea of "Time" is arbitrarily invented for the sole purpose of allowing our process of mentation to exist I will be "tripping the light fantastic", as it were, throughout this manuscript. Do not attempt to hold on to any specific time frame either of your invention nor mine.
Almost every thought, feeling, sensation, experience of any kind, both internally & externally, is processed within our own brain in such a manner as to completely "miss the point" (assuming there is a point to any of it). I am completely correct in uttering the phrase "Everything You Think You Know Is Incorrect". Most of you will merely dismiss this statement as nonsense, as you rightly should. A very few might wish to know the basis for such a claim. Stick around because we will return to this at a much later time.
What does one have to do to experience "new" information or "new" processes with regard to how we experience Life in any viable form both internally (what you call thinking) as well as visceral day to day interactions at the street level? The answer to that question is tied directly to the one about "everything you think you know is incorrect".
So...I ask you, is this book about cool ideas, deep thoughts, revolutionary thinking?
If it is about any of those choices then I am wasting both yours and my time and we both should go bowling instead of reading on. Rather, if my methods here have any merit for either of us your entire mental processing of EVERYTHING needs re-fabricating. You have no idea how difficult this might be but one thing is for certain, I would not bother to waste your time if I wasn't 100% certain this is possible, doable, & downright necessary for your continued interest in living Life to the max with each and every breath.
A couple of things this book is NOT about. I have no interest in having you believe in anything, rather my sole interest is forcing your internal gaze to accept nothing less than full on direct experience both at the street level as well as internally. Only then will any of this re-fabricate your entire processing ability at the highest level of mentation, the likes of which you have never even glanced upon even in your wildest dreams. Also, if you are of the inclination to feel Life has a higher purpose for you and now is your chance to have it all revealed.......put this back on the shelf and go bowling anyway.
I can say, unequivocally, this manuscript will never become a popular reading item and if it does I have certainly mis written it. The real purpose of any writings, such as these, would be to allow the reader to deconstruct his or her entire existence while simultaneously for the first time learn how to wander (internally) amidst the wasteland of thinking and out of the ashes of everyday thoughts catch a glimpse of potential, never before dreamed of, sparkles with rich, never ending portals of entry to the world of NOT YOU.
I know you have heard all about that popular desire to "find yourself"......to seek that inner "YOU" and discover your purpose in Life. Please, if you are to benefit from any of the words in this book do me a favor.......forget that a "YOU" ever existed. Relish the hour when something in you realizes there is not now nor has there ever been a "You".
Even if I am incorrect in any description found in these writings (not likely) to make the most of this a simple foundation of your thinking status must be forever disconnected.
Much like the phrase "everything you think you know is incorrect" the idea of a stable and unified "YOU" existing somewhere in your internal mentation is simply a lie.
Remember how I said we are on a journey through disjointed "Time" and to ignore any real time discrepancies....ok then hold on, here we go.
Moms & Dads always try to do their dutiest to guide their little darlings through Life as best they can. We all start off with an entire imaginary set of apparent Do's & Dont's with regard to simple actions, speech, etc. You are four years old and now you hear commands from the parents to try and understand emotions such as love, hate, like, dislike, good , bad...the list is endless. You don't actually process this nonsense as either positive or negative until at some point the parent scolds or encourages such behavior. When you find encouragement for some action or speech your mentation suggests some form of "right" and the scolding emphasizes "wrong". The brain has little choice but to make these apparent connections for future use. Once again the "YOU" part of yourself is building a false foundation that is destined to crash at some point just this side of puberty, or shortly thereafter. Not to worry, Moms & Dads did their rightful duty and no blame can be assigned to them nor should it be. In fact, the very first completely NEW connection you can have while re-fabricating your mentation is one that will completely forgive parents of any wrong doing in the fetching up of you. Real forgiveness can only be had if you should someday find that the writings here have led you to an internal land where accusations of blame, disgust, distrust, malevolence and a million other similar feelings simply vanish. They disappear and become worthless amidst the notion that a re-fabricated existence deems such nonsense as no longer necessary for a life of seamless visage from all 360 points of view.
Ok here's where your ancient mentation process will ask, "well what about all the religious teachings from around the world"? "Aren't we to credit their teachings with moral instruction and, if so, surely there must be an objective set of "rights" & "wrongs"?
See there, now that is why re-fabrication of this entire mentation is REALLY necessary.
Men & Women down through the ages have had no choice but to create myths to our existence on a "need to do so" basis. Regardless of whose culture created which type of imaginary deity there was indeed a NEED for it at the time, either for survival or to keep each other from slaughtering themselves. Once again no blame here is expected for all the apparent wrong doings of a particular sect or group of organized people claiming justification for their action or inactions. Remember this manuscript is NOT about creating another imagined set of beliefs, least of all condemning one group of people over another regardless of what they stand for. Re-fabrication of mentation is a process which by it's very nature will discard any beliefs in ANYTHING. All that will be left is hard core glimpses, connected by other views, worlds apart from younger mis connections the brain had no choice but to make at the time.
By the way if you think I have forgotten the other side of imaginary emotions we all get fetched up with, such as the big one, love....well it too was a product of our misguided youth, at least in the form so popularly used today. For a re-fabricated mentation to be of any benefit to the organism employing same I will admit something akin to "love" will make an appearance. You won't like this discovery unless you are ok with pursuing some heavy duty effort to reproduce same. In the land of re-discovered, re-fabricated mentation the REAL version of what's behind the term "love" requires a lifetime of effort to illicit and even longer to actualize, internally to oneself, much less on a fellow human being.
It's not that it's a dreamscape and unrealizable......but you better practice on easier accessibilities such as refusal to "kick" at someone's apparent mis-interpretation of your own failings. In the land of internal re-fabrication no matter what emerges vocally from your lips someone is ALWAYS ready to turn it against you no matter how sweet your pronouncement.
Ok enough of the delicacies and on to some basic "lookout belows" to view in a completely unorthodox method, hopefully for your ultimate internal benefit as we wander further into the abyss, where you have never considered wandering before!
If you still insist upon reading further I must warn you this manuscript is not simply a "read & wonder" kind of experience, rather, if you have the passion to take it upon your own to dispel most of what Life has forced you to accept, regarding real evolution of thought via actual "hands off experience" then let's begin with a few little known methods to turn your mentation upside down in favor of a type of internal discovery known only to the very FEW humans who demand of themselves excellence of living.
How is it possible to completely re-write your very mentative existence such that everything you experience will be seen with a completely NEW sense of relative understanding? Everyone has experienced the harsh reality of another person confronting him or her with aspersions of one type or another. Your own reaction (either internally or vocally in retort) is usually something completely contrived by an uncontrollable force within which ,according to type, resembles voices from some distant, unknown construct with neither your approval nor responsibility. You have experienced this type of event since you were 3 years old and in every instance powerless to react in an alternative manner. If you are the type to submit to such harassment it is likely no words will emanate from your mouth, rather, all retorts will remain in your ordinary mental reactive mind. No real means of closure and continuous invitations to illicit memories of extreme negative sensation that likely follow you around to your own demise some day. This manuscript is about permanently circumnavigating all social aspersions either from other humans or your own apparent sensation of self. Here's a real life example of how to cease any form of reaction to such events: Next time this actual scene arises, and we ALWAYS know it's coming beforehand, take the complete opposing view from your normal reaction and force a new situation to occur. Force an internal agreement with whatever negative energy is coming your way such that it emulates what the ancient teaching of Tai Chi encourages. Instead of your normal reaction of resistance, allow such energy to be embraced as if you knew all along the truth to such accusation. It becomes an extreme ACT to force a different character's absorption rather than rebuttal. This entire process happens in milliseconds, or it has no chance of happening at all.
Don't just sit here and posit such a scenario and then let that ordinary process of the mind suggest" oh yea I can see where that might work". Actively remember to turn the energy inside out upon next experiencing this type of event. If you have to, put this book down and don't read another word until you have taken the effort to heart and ACTUALLY done the deed. In other words this manuscript is not here for a cursory read, open to opinions of value, it is in fact REAL methods that produce REAL differences in a person's daily living process. Most highly talented actors, when asked in an interview, how are you able to put your own sense of self away when you are acting a scene so foreign to your very character, will respond with something along the following lines......"I become so completely immersed in my own invention of this opposing character's living process the "Me" that walks & talks day in and day out simply vanishes, I then AM the opposing character for the duration of that scene.
This manuscript is about PERMANENTLY revising the YOU that has occupied most of your years on the planet to such an extent that EVERY future experience you have will become a conscious act where a completely different character has the chance to breathe through your newly invented sense of NOT YOU!
This process I speak of here, one of encouraging the ordinary you to vanish in favor of a more actively invented alternative character capable of real choice for the first time EVER......it is a process of subtraction much like the process of sculpting an artistic piece from previously unrecognizable hunk of clay or stone. Picture your everyday mentation as thoughts with no real direction, springing out of nowhere with no real direction or control. Does that about cover it? Do you really imagine you know with 100% certainty what you are fixing to say NEXT?
Re-Fabricating your own mentation process is akin to starting to sculpt an artistic rendering requiring conscious attention to skilled use of tools appropriate to the removal of nonessential material. This ACT, if you will, of internally redirecting some negative energy coming your way is the epitome of conscious action. There are many methods to suggest in aiding this process but no method is worth a damn if it is not willfully executed with each and every waking breath.

Hello World,
A little bit of practice for my upcoming exam…
'A View From the Bridge' is written by Arthur Miller in 1955, set in the Big Apple. This specific extract is in act two of the play. Eddie is asking for advice from Alfieri, the lawyer, because his niece has found an Italian immigrant who Eddie believes isn't good enough for her, though there is some history and feelings behind his opinion. This extract gives the story two clear directions to go. Either Eddie can follow Alfieri's advice, which is to leave her alone, or, go tell her his feelings, and get angry.
Alfieri is a character with a lawyer's perspective, therefore a trusted perspective that helps us understand that a perspective should show justice.
Alfieri is a lawyer, and knows the law.
"Will you do that? Because there is no law, Eddie"
This supports my thesis because it shows that Alfieri knows the law, and is a lawyer, because he is a lawyer, he needs to be fair and therefore shows elements of justice.
Alfieri has a broad perspective and knows all the characters and their feelings.
"who would watch the action, comment on it, and address the audience directly"
This supports my thesis because it shows that Alfieri has a broad perspective and knows the characters, because he watches the action of the characters and explains or adds comment for the audience to understand things further.
Miller purposely made Alfieri have a correct and fair perspective because Miller valued Justice
"Miller has said that he wanted to make this play a modern equivalent of classical Greek tragedy. In the ancient plays, an essential part was that of the chorus"
Miller could place his perspective in the mind of the character Alfieri by making him the chorus. He could then get his message of justice over through Alfieri.
The Thesis displays a trail of thought that Miller might have thought while creating the character Alfieri. He could perform a play while while expressing his perspective of a "correct" perspective.

The Greedy Pigs Motorcycle Club has raised £600 in donations for the Peter Pan Nursery for Children with Special Needs in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, the Stoke Sentinel reports.
The club's efforts at the charity Bike Show and Beer Festival earlier this year were celebrated with a presentation of the cheque last week.
The Peter Pan Nursery is funded solely by donations and it needs £250,000 a year in order to maintain its operations, so such fundraising events make a big difference, commented Sophia Baker, head of fundraising for the Peter Pan charity. The nursery supports not just the children, but also their parents and siblings. It helps families and children with special needs to obtain day-to-day skills so they can have the best start possible, Baker said.
The money raised by the Stoke-on-Trent based motorcycle club will be enough to pay for 12 two-hour sessions for children attending the nursery.
Bikers from the Greedy Pigs Motorcycle Club have taken part in fundraising initiatives in the past, too. Back in 2012 they raised £800 for the Andy Taft Charitable Trust, which helps agencies such as BASICS doctors and first responders.
The Greedy Pigs club has been raising funds for the trust for several years.
The Andy Taft Charitable Trust was founded by the family of prison officer Andy Taft after he died in an accident in 2005. The trust's main activity is promoting bike safety.

When it comes to taking a holiday in Italy, the first question should be 'where to begin?' Italy is packed with attractions, activities, festivals, ancient cities, spectacular views, quaint villages, and beautiful beaches, not to mention the shopping, culture and cuisine. A holiday to Italy will surely provide you with more to do than you have time for in a single trip.
Some highlights that should not be missed during your holidays to Italy are in the historic city of Rome. More than 2,700 years old, Rome is the heart of all things Italian. Florence is the regional capital and offers great insight into the history and culture of the country with one of its finest cathedrals, the mediaeval Duomo. For the fashion seeker and shopper, a visit to Milan should not be missed. Milan is also renowned for its impressive buildings.
Pisa is one of the more famous cities to visit as it is home to the leaning tower. It also has many other historical monuments that are sure to interest visitors. Naples, which is close to Pompeii and Herculaneum, reflects the rich history of the area. Venice is another well-known tourist destination. Founded more than 1,500 years ago, travelling around the 117 island of Venice through waterways and canals is a great way to explore the city.
Bologna is considered one of the most attractive cities in all of Italy with is well-maintained monuments and beautiful city centre. The Amalfi coast is one of the most spectacular highlights of any holiday in Italy. The coastline is unspoilt and the town itself remains a very small and popular resort due to its wonderful beaches.
Sicily's best-known attraction, Mount Etna, is the tallest mountain on the island at more than 10,000 feet. It also remains one of the most active volcanoes in Europe. The mountain is in the Etna Regional Park, which offers skiing opportunities during the winter and great hiking trails during the summer.
To complete your holidays in Italy, take a tour of one of the many beautiful vineyards. Spend a day strolling through cypress woods, or vine-covered hills where fields of sunflowers can be seen for miles. In the north of Siena is where Chianti can be found. It is one of the famous local wines in the region.
Even with many regional variations, Italy generally experiences a warm climate with occasional rainfall. Summer days of July and August tend to be quite hot as temperatures peak in the mid 30s C. The winter months of December through to April will see temperatures dip from 10C to 20C.
For your holidays to Italy, you will need to convert your currency into Euros, which is the local currency in use in Italy.

Luke Lately
Luke, you are very smart! Do not let anyone ever tell you are not.
You're very deep and thoughtful sometimes.
You're like a wild goose other times.
You have some of your favourite books memorized and we take turns reading alternating pages.
You really love your time with dad, he is normally the first person you ask for when you wake up in the morning.
Your eating habits are improving slowly but you are still very resistant to eat vegetables.
You got to feel the baby move in my belly the other day and were pretty amazed by it.
You will be an excellent big brother.
You do this little shake with your shoulder when you eat something you like, we call it your happy dance.
You are very comfortable being naked.
You can do a summersault all by yourself.
You have a strut when you walk that shows you are on a mission.
You are beginning to experience time out.
You love riding your dirt bike, Blue.
You, your dad and I do a triple kiss and you ask for a triple kiss if we haven't had one for a few days.
You grow and learn everyday and that is the coolest thing to see.
We love you to the moon and back.
P.S. Here is a fun little moment I captured of us throwing blueberries into each others mouths. Luke, I love how you laugh and find joy in the simple pleasures in life.

At some point you may have asked, what is the methodology behind the research and news the Vitamin D Council covers? If you're a researcher or a health professional, you might even consider this a vital piece of information that the Council has not addressed to date.
It's an important question. In medical literature, when researchers perform a systematic review, their methodology in finding research and deciding which to include in their review is central to their review and what they eventually find.
While we're just running a blog and writing news pieces (not quite the magnitude of writing a systematic review), our methodology is important in ensuring we provide reliable and up to date information to you, the public. If our methodology was overly flawed, we wouldn't be doing a good job addressing:
- Recent high quality research
- Recent novel research
- Recent note-worthy news
In this blog, I'll cover our methodology in deciding what to cover in the news and blog, and I'll show you some of the tools we use.
To start, we collect as much research and news we can on vitamin D. The more comprehensive we can be in our search for research, the more we ensure we're covering everything we need to cover.
We use a web tool called Feedly to help us collect research and news. Feedly, like the old Google Reader, is a "news aggregator" in which you can link up your favorite websites' posts and RSS feeds to Feedly, and Feedly will organize those articles in a variety of different ways. To reiterate, Feedly basically takes all our RSS feeds and places them in their interface, so it's an RSS aggregator.
Currently, we have feeds coming into Feedly from PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Vitamin D Council and Google Alerts. In the future, we will be adding feeds from specific journals and popular news sources, but we're still waiting for Feedly to implement feed-filters (which would allow us to get vitamin D-only feeds from journals and popular news sites).
The RSS feed we have coming from PubMed is here: http://1.usa.gov/1dWVyZ4. It is a search of:
((("vitamin d"[MeSH Terms] OR "ergocalciferols"[MeSH Terms]) OR vitamin d[Text Word] OR vitamin d2[Text Word] OR vitamin d3[Text Word] OR cholecalciferol[Text Word] OR colecalciferol[Text Word] OR hydroxycholecalciferol[Text Word] OR dihydrotachysterol[Text Word] OR maxacalcitol[Text Word] OR oxacalcitriol[Text Word] OR paricalcitol[Text Word] OR doxercalciferol[Text Word] OR dihydroxyvitamin[Text Word] OR hydroxyvitamin[Text Word] OR falecalcitriol[Text Word] OR calcitriol[Text Word] OR alfacalcidol[Text Word] OR alphacalcidol[Text Word] OR calcifediol[Text Word] OR calcipotriol[Text Word] OR epicalcitriol[Text Word] OR lexacalcitol[Text Word] OR seocalcitol[Text Word] OR ergocalciferol[Text Word]) OR ("Vitamin D Deficiency"[Mesh] OR "Vitamin D-Binding Protein"[Mesh] OR "Vitamin D Response Element"[Mesh] OR "Receptors, Calcitriol"[Mesh] OR "Calcium-Binding Protein, Vitamin D-Dependent"[Mesh] OR "vitamin D 24-hydroxylase "[Substance]))
From ClinicalTrials.gov, we have a feed coming in that searches for "vitamin D," it is here: http://1.usa.gov/1eBEueb. This feed lists registered clinical trials (at various stages), with the trials with most recently updated details listed at the top.
In all, this is a screenshot of all these feeds in Feedly:
One database that would make our literature search more comprehensive is Embase, but we do not use it. Embase, like PubMed, is a literature database, but ran by Elsevier and based out of Europe. Unlike PubMed, it is not free to use, so we do not use it.
How much literature are we missing out on by not using Embase? 4,800 journals are indexed in Embase, 1,800 of which are not indexed in PubMed (MEDLINE to be more accurate). Similarly, of the 5,200 journals indexed in PubMed, 1,800 are not indexed in Embase. So to be truly comprehensive, it's important to search both databases. We are essentially missing out on 1,800 journals.
The last research and news we collect is by word of mouth. Researchers will email us, "Hey, did you see my research?" Members will email, "Did you see this news?"
We take these correspondences into full consideration. While it may not seem too methodological, it's actually not too different than what a Cochrane systematic review team would do: Contact those in the field of the topic they're reviewing and ask for any research and data they might be missing.
From here, as a team, we decide which topics we want to cover and how we want to cover them. Should we blog on this study? Should we write a news story? Should we do nothing with it?
Research papers we want to blog on and cover in depth, we start taking measures to obtain the full-text paper. These measures include:
- Finding and downloading the open-access paper for free.
- Contacting researchers we have good connections with.
- Purchasing research through DOCLINE System.
In terms of the types of research papers we decide to cover in the blog, we look for research papers that are high-quality and primary, so we look for randomized controlled trials and large cohort studies. We look for novel research, no matter the study type. And we look to cover best-methods research in educating on vitamin D and improving vitamin D status, so we can better learn as a community how to take on the vitamin D issue.
We, in a sense, relegate research papers to our news section when we feel the research/paper don't meet the above criteria, or that we feel we can't offer great insight to, or that we feel no great insight is needed. We obtain these research papers for the news section in the same manner that we do for research papers in the blog section.
Sometimes when we look to obtain research papers, we're not sure yet if we want cover in blog, news, or maybe we're not sure whether to cover the research at all. So we use another tool to organize incoming papers and our general collection of papers: Mendeley.
Mendeley is a reference and PDF organizer. It takes all of our PDF research papers, stores them and organizes them in a helpful and meaningful way.
In Mendeley, we as a team can organize papers into folders and tags and use the software as a tool to further organize and decide what to do with research. Once we have the full PDF research paper, we can take a look at the study in-depth and better decide what to do with it. We will place recently added papers to either our "For blog" or "For news" folders to let us know we have research to cover. If we decide we shouldn't cover a particular paper, then we do nothing with it and just store it in our Mendeley database.
This is a screenshot of our Mendeley setup:
From here, our team of authors pick out specific studies, read them and synthesize them as best they can and offer insight as best they can when needed. And then after a couple edits between myself and the author, you see the end product: a news or blog article.
Note that not all news and blogs fit this methodology, but this is the methodology we most routinely stick to. Anytime you read a recap of a single study, this was the methodology.
We deviate from this methodology in some instances. For blogs, sometimes authors feel inspired to cover a specific topic and will do a mini-literature search and cover the topic in a way that helps get their point across. Dr Cannell writes many blogs in this fashion, often citing many articles in that blog piece. Sometimes we write journalistic pieces. Sometimes we want to educate on basic science and will use various studies as examples. And sometimes we discuss Vitamin D Council happenings.
For news, sometimes there is no full-paper to cover. For instance, if a conference reports on a poster or oral presentation, we will cover that in the news because we don't know when the full-paper will be published (and it could be months and months). We also cover events, industry announcements, government and agency announcements/news, Council happenings, recruiting announcements and more. None of these types of news require the above methodology.
Comments or critiques of our methodology? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Please share here or send us an email.

Some business just don't know how to take criticism very well, but one restaurant owner in Canada took things way too far.
A co-owner of a pair of eateries lashed out at a customer who gave a bad review by setting up a fake sex site profile and sending lascivious emails, reports Megan Gillis at Sun News.
The owner, Marisol Simoes, was convicted of two counts of defamatory libel against the customer, Elayna Katz, by an Ottawa court. A sentencing hearing is set for next month.
Katz had posted her review on restaurantthing.com, complaining that the service was slow and the server was rude. She also got olives on her pasta, when she had asked for it without olives.
The owner didn't quite agree with her assessment, and put a bunch of scandalous things about the customer online — all of which were not true.
From Sun News:
"I am open to anything -- couples, threesomes and group sex," read the e-mail purportedly signed by Katz and sent a year later to her bosses at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. "Am especially into transsexuals and transgenders (being one myself). I am ... a tiger in the bedroom."
The same words were in a profile along with Katz's wedding picture posted a few days later on an "adult" site under "men seeking men."
As Mary Beth Quirk at the Consumerist points out, "no, it likely doesn't feel good to read negative reviews about your establishment on the Internet, but posing as a customer on an site for adults looking to hook up in order to get your revenge is not only childish, it's going to have some legal repercussions."
And the bad press that the owner was trying to hard to avoid is has blown up far worse than what one negative review could ever do.

Ken told us he hardly ever gives out the rating we received! Listen in to his comments about Campbell Gardens candied jalapeños! Around the 10:20 mark is when Ken and Scott Roberts talk about our peppers.

A group of us decided to take our little ones to the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield for the free tour. We drove over together and got in the long line to go inside for the tour. While we waited for the tour the girls and their friends saw Mr. Jelly Belly, all the fun decorations, and got all excited to see how Jelly Belly's are made. They gave us cool hats to wear on the tour and no pictures were allowed after that.
When our tour was complete we ate some lunch. Ashlyn and Aubrey shared a Jelly Belly shaped pizza and Autumn got Jelly Belly shapped chicken nuggets. We bought some goodeies at the store and then took pictures of all the kids out front. We really liked the tour and had a fun time together.

"I'm delighted to be part of the BBC, a major media organisation that has got the significant history in our Arab world. The BBC is widely known worldwide by its high professionalism and credibility in covering the news in transparent and balanced way," said Gisele Khoury.
"BBC Arabic's style of in-depth analysis of the news and what's behind it, offers me the opportunity to present the (Al Mash'had) in a professional and distinctive way. The BBC's solid values and freedom in asking questions also help me to provide BBC Arabic's audience unique accounts and stories which, in a way or another, have formatted our Arab political map" she added.
Tarik Kafala, Head of BBC Arabic stated, "Gisele is experienced journalist and has the distinctive ability in moderating big TV talk shows. Joining BBC Arabic to present "Al Mash'had" means employing her wealth of experiences to bring to our audiences stories and events directly narrated by those experienced them".

The Russian Far East attracts Korean investors
Summing up 2016, the Minister for Development of the Russian Far East, Alexander Galushka, has pointed to how a visa-free regime between the Republic of Korea and Russia has increased the potential for cooperation between the two countries.
Agreements and memoranda on cooperation between Russia and South Korea, signed in the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum 2016, address a wide range of areas for cooperation: industry and commerce; health and medical services; the development of the fishery industry; and aerospace. These support the implementation of investment projects in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) by Korean companies. For example, the Far East Development Corporation received three applications from Korean investors who intend to take advantage of the favorable conditions offered to investors in territories of advancing socio-economic development (TASEDs) and the Free Port of Vladivostok.
In the Khabarovsk TASED, investors from South Korea plan to establish a factory to produce PVC cling wrap and wicket packages for automatic and semi-automatic machines, with an investment of RUB 777.7 million.
In the Free Port of Vladivostok, Korean entrepreneurs are planning to invest RUB 16.8 million to build a plant to produce polyurethane items and household goods. They also plan to invest more than RUB 1.8 billion to develop an electronic fare payment system in Vladivostok.
Two more territories of advancing socio-economic development in the Far East
The Government Commission on the Socio-economic Development of the Russian Far East and the Baikal region has approved the establishment of the fourteenth and fifteenth TASEDs – Southern Yakutia and Nikolaevsk. The new TASEDs will be created in the Republic of Sakha in the Neryungrinsky District and in the city of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur in the Khabarovsk Krai. An expansion of the boundaries of the Komsomolsk TASED was also approved.
Special regional legal regimes for entrepreneurial activity will be introduced to create favorable conditions for investments and rapid socio-economic development. According to the Federal Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East, Alexander Galushka, the new TASEDs will boost the industrial development of the regions, as well as the creation of modern industries and new skilled jobs.
Thus, the major industrial center of South Yakutia will become a TASED. Seven mining, transport, logistics, and industrial projects will be implemented, with private investment totaling RUB 24.7 billion.
New power lines in the Nikolaevsky municipal district will be built to support infrastructure in the new TASEDs by delivering a stable supply of electricity to the population and business entities.
Nine other companies, with total investment of more than RUB 3 billion, are ready to become residents of the new TASEDs. Their planned projects involve fish processing and ship repair.
A tourist-recreational cluster is planned for the expanded Komsomolsk TASED. It will increase the total length of ski slopes to 60 kilometers, and is expected to attract up to 240 thousand visitors.
The Supervisory Board of the Free Port of Vladivostok approves 35 investment projects
At a recent meeting, the Supervisory Board VI of the Free Port of Vladivostok discussed possible new investment projects, ways to attract investors, and the creation of a public council. The Board approved 35 investment projects, including:
• A terminal in the Vanino seaport for the transshipment of liquefied petroleum gases;
• A coal transshipment terminal at Cape Burny in the Khabarovsk Krai;
• A fish logistics and processing center, OOO South Terminal, in Korsakov;
• The RUB 600 million hotel, OOO New house;
• the OOO Pavlin ethnic village, which is a cultural and tourist center
The total private investment in these projects will amount to more than RUB 94 billion.
Special lending program for small and medium-sized businesses begins in the Far East
A new program, Affordable Credit for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises, has begun in three regions in the Russian Far East. Implementing an agreement signed after the Far East Economic Forum in 2016, the Far East and Baikal Regional Development Fund (the Fund) and Sberbank Russia are supporting the first phase. The total amount of the first three approved loans was RUB 190 million, of which the Fund provided RUB 70 million.
Sberbank disburses the loans through its offices in nine regions of the Far East to eligible companies registered there. Because of the Fund's participation, Sberbank can keep the minimum spread of the interest rates for the program at 9.9% to 12.5% per annum for current operations. The rate for loans for investment purposes is 13.5% per annum. Credit terms extend from three to ten years. This flexibility in loan structuring will raise the overall level of credit availability by reducing the load on regular payments.
The Federation Council approves proposed amendments to the Federal Law On Electric Power Industry
The Federation Council has approved a bill to amend the Federal Law On Electric Power Industry and has sent it to President Vladimir Putin for signing. The law aims to create conditions for an accelerated development of the Far East by reducing electricity rates to closer to the average for the Russian Federation.
Undeveloped energy infrastructure and high energy costs have limited the development of the Far Eastern territories and the competitiveness of its businesses. In most regions of the Far East, the electricity rates are significantly higher than the average for Russia. To avoid extremely high prices for electricity, the State subsidizes the rates in these regions. In an address to the Federal Assembly in 2015, President Putin charged the legislators to equalize electricity tariffs in the Far Eastern regions to the national average.
The Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy and the Energy Working Group plan to monitor the implementation of the law on a permanent basis. Under the recent amendments, the government will create a mechanism to monitor progress in the moderation of prices and tariffs in the retail electricity market in the areas of the Far East.
Simplified visa procedure for the Free Port of Vladivostok
The Government Commission on Legislative Activities has approved a draft law to simplify visa procedures in the Free Port of Vladivostok. If the draft law is enacted, foreign citizens arriving in the Free Port of Vladivostok would be able to obtain a multiple-entry visa under the simplified scheme. The visa would be valid for eight visits, each visit not to exceed eight days.
A foreign citizen would complete an electronic form on a website of the Ministry of Foreign Affair not less than four days before the proposed date of entry. The applicant would be able to track on-line the progress of the application and would receive the approval by electronic mail.
Upon arriving in Vladivostok, the foreign citizen would simply produce identification to the Border Agency staff officer, who would confirm the visa in a special database and stamp the visitor's passport.
Solutions to remove barriers to the development of aquaculture in the Russian Far East
On 13 December 2016, the Government Commission responsible for the agricultural sector and the sustainable development of rural areas examined issues in the technological development of agriculture and the accelerated development of aquaculture in the Russian Far East.
According to experts, the potential for aquaculture production in the Far East is 1 million tons per year; but less than 1% of that potential is realized because of the existing legal and administrative barriers. To eliminate these obstacles, the Minister for Development of the Russian Far East, Alexander Galushka, introduced the following initiatives:
• Eliminate the need for special commissions and time-consuming procedures by creating an official geographic information system, which transparently defines a fish breeding areas and displays information about any limitations or prohibitions on the use of those waters for aquaculture;
• Allow the introduction of aquaculture in waters designed for fishing;
• Enable aquaculture enterprises to obtain land without bidding for the construction of aquaculture infrastructure;
• Create mechanisms of state support of agricultural insurance of aquaculture; and
• Amend the Federal Forest Code on the use of forests for aquaculture to eliminate obstacles to the development of fish-breeding areas in specially protected natural areas.
Dates for the Eastern Economic Forum 2017
The third Eastern Economic Forum will be held on 6-7 September 2017 on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University on Russky island in Vladivostok. This will be immediately after the ninth BRICS summit.
Over the past two years, the Forum has established itself as a major international communication platform, focused on the priority development of the Russian Far East and its integration with the economies of the Asia-Pacific region. The 2017 Forum will display and examine the dynamics of Far Eastern development in 2017, the first results of the New Economic Policy, and the tools to create economic incentives for the macro-region.

Someone at a talk I gave the other day asked me where I look for inspiration. No matter what you do, I think it's important to look beyond your own discipline, otherwise you start to produce shadows of other people's work, saying little that is new or exciting. Here are a few resources I turn to when I want to shake up my approach.
- The Art Assignment Youtube Channel. They visit cities and artists across the world to discuss and explore different artistic styles and media.
- Illustration portfolios. A great place to get ideas for colour and layout, there are many illustrators whose work I love. Here's just a few to check out: Eleni Kalorkoti; Victo Ngai; Tom Gauld.
- The British Library image collection on Flickr. Warning: a click hole of beauty that may consume many hours!
Do you have places you go for inspiration? I'd love to hear! Let me know on Twitter.

The peninsula is dominated by sedimentary rocks of the Devonian and Carboniferous Periods and includes cotemporaneous minor basaltic volcanic rocks. Into these have been intruded Late Carboniferous to Permian age granites and associated subvolcanic rocks. The geology of the region has led to a variety of scenery ranging from dramatic cliffscapes of sedimentary rocks, castellated granite, pillow lavas, granitic tors and drowned valleys. Tectonic plate movement over the past 400 million years has shifted the position of Cornwall and Devon from well south of the equator to its present geographical position located at 50 degrees N.
Rocky Valley
Clodgy Point
Bodmin Moor
After Bromley, 1989.
The sediments have been deformed (folded) both prior and during the period of granite intrusion with later minor deformation. Most of the Devonian sediments have undergone low-grade regional metamorphism to sub-greenschists (development of chlorite) facies. Slates formed during this period are now exploited at Delabole. Occasionally fossil remains of the Cyrtospirifer verneulli ('Delabole butterfly') are found in the quarry. The major period of deformation took place during the Variscan orogeny (mountain building). It was in the latter part of this orogeny that the granites were intruded with associated tin and copper mineralization, forming the Cornubian Orefield.
During the Permian to Cretaceous deposition again took place in basins developed on Devonian and Carboniferous deformed rocks, forming sandstones and conglomerates with minor volcanic rocks and later chalk. The only exposures near the Cornubian Orefield are the New Red Sandstones to the northeast in Devon, the rest lie offshore. During the Tertiary, fault activation resulted in basins now evident as isolated Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocence sands and clays and deep weathering of the granite to form kaolin deposits. During the Quaternary the Ice sheet probably touched the north coast of the peninsula and Isles of Scilly and the area was subjected to periglacial acivity.It was during this period that sea-level changes lead to raised beaches and solifluction formed head deposits. Postglacial sea level rise produced drowned valleys or rias forming deep estuarine inlets.

We're so happy to welcome Lisha Epperson to Winsome again this year! She will lead her Sacred Movement Workshop and explore "the healing and redemptive value of every gesture." She'll also be sharing in a breakout session. Lisha leads with grace and truth. Take a minute to get to know her!
Tell us a little about you and your role at Winsome this year.
I'm Lisha Epperson, a wife and mother of five answering a call to ministry in midlife. I'm excited to share a little about how I mindfully manage that amongst the crazy of life in New York City. Specifically, I'll share a message about living your dream. I'll also get to share my love for dance ministry in a workshop centered on prayer and ritual.
How did you hear about Winsome?
I met Kim Hyland during my second year as a blogger. Her writing and ministry are inspirational because she truly embodies the heart of her vision. Dropped as it were into a community of Christian writers and artists that for many reasons is not diverse—I consider Kim's authentic welcome a gift.
How have the Winsome values of authenticity, diversity, and truth enriched your life?
Kim's authentic welcome into a community of Christian writers and artists is a gift. As one of a handful of women of color in this community, I've appreciated her invitation to share my experience and story. Kim's passion and commitment to diversity encourage me to keep believing for the dream of a beloved community.
What experiences, stories, phrases or moments have stuck in your memory since you last attended Winsome? How have they affected you?
I remember sitting with Brandee Shafer late one afternoon. We talked well past some of the sessions we might have attended, but—knowing God was in the middle of our conversation—settled into our divine appointment.
The phrase "come away" has stuck with me. I hear it in my heart when I get tired and know it as Holy Spirit direction.
Why did you want to speak and lead a workshop at Winsome?
This has been a hard year online. I'm just coming back to my blog from a much-needed break. Post-election trauma is real. The fallout online was painful to experience—both personally and communally as people of faith. It was ugly and so hard. Backing away from it was necessary, and I think we all did to some extent.
I'm excited to reconnect in person—after the pause. I'm excited to see how God will work among us. I want to be part of whatever God does in this challenging season.
What advice or reassurance would you give a first-timer about Winsome?
Let God direct your participation in the sessions. You don't have to be anywhere but where you are—mine those fields for the goodness of God.

The BBC have responded to the people's complaint over the lack of coverage of the National Anti-Austerity Demo on the 21 June.
"Thanks for contacting us about coverage of the People's Assembly anti-austerity demonstration on 21 June.
We understand you feel there was insufficient coverage of this demonstration by BBC News.
We have received a wide range of feedback about our coverage of this story. In order to use our TV licence fee resources efficiently, this general response aims to answer the key concerns raised, but we apologise in advance if it doesn't address your specific points in the manner you would prefer.
Your concerns were raised with senior editorial staff at BBC News who responded as follows:
"We covered this demonstration on the BBC News Channel with five reports throughout Saturday evening, on the BBC News website on Sunday, as well as on social media. We choose which stories we cover based on how newsworthy they are and what else is happening and we didn't provide extensive coverage because of a number of bigger national and international news stories that day, including the escalating crisis in Iraq, British citizens fighting in Syria and the death of Gerry Conlon.
We frequently report on the UK economy and what it means for the British public. We also reflect the concerns of people such as those demonstrating, and others who hold opposing views, across our daily news output on TV, radio as well as online, and we also explore them in more depth including in our political programming and current affairs investigations, debates on 'Question Time' and during interviews and analysis on programmes such as 'PM' and 'Newsnight'. Inevitably, there may be disagreements over the level of prominence we give to stories, but we believe our coverage of this subject has been fair and impartial."
We hope this goes some way to explaining our position, and thanks again for taking the time to contact us.
Kind Regards
BBC Complainomplaints"
Muchsin Maltezos commented 2014-07-07 20:14:15 +0100IMO there was no international news on June 21 which deserved precedence over the PA national demo. The demo should have been one of the main news items because it concerns the current state of the nation and its people. What else is national news for, if not that?
Ross Johnson commented 2014-06-26 12:05:30 +0100but the Beeb are more than happy to spend millions of pounds of our money on non-news items such as football, cricket, tennis, and injured racing drivers in private hospitals. Of course they've got their priorities right!?
