By the end of this workshop, my goal is for you to understand, at a high level, what is actually happening when you run a GLMM. You will be able to implement a GLMM using your own software and have confidence in your results.
If you're not yet familiar with GLMM, it's a selection of powerful and versatile models that allow data analysts to deal with scenarios that other models cannot. You need a GLMM if:
• You have data that aren't independent because observations are clustered. For example, your data includes outcome measurements taken on the same subject over time (repeated measures).
• Your outcome variable has some distribution that doesn't result in normally distributed errors. For example, your outcome could be measured in counts, proportions, or categories, or your data simply doesn't adhere to a normal distribution.
When you assume variables are independent when they're not, and/or you try to fit non-normal data to a normal distribution, things get… well, a bit screwy. P-Values will be wrong. Standard errors will be incorrect. And your statistics will be biased.
This is where GLMM comes in. It gives us the ability to make different, more flexible assumptions.
By the end of this workshop, my goal is for you to understand, at a high level, what is actually happening when you run a GLMM. You will be able to implement a GLMM using your own software and have confidence in your results.
This workshop is for you if:
– You are an intermediate user of statistics
– You are comfortable with linear mixed models
– You are comfortable with some form of generalized linear modeling (e.g. logistic regression, count models, etc.)
– You are a researcher or applied statistician, not a theoretical statistician. You are interested in learning how to understand, apply, and interpret GLMMs, not derive them or understand their theory.
– You have attempted learning GLMM on your own and get stuck with all the formula and jargon and just don't see how all that applies to your analysis.
It is NOT for you:
– You are already familiar with and feel very comfortable running and evaluating GLMMs (It is meant to be introductory for those who have the pre-requisites).
– You don't already have a good handle on logistic or Poisson regression. We will review these but it will go too fast if this is new.
– You don't already have a good handle on fitting mixed models. We will review these but it will go too fast if you're still unsure of what random effects are or how to use them.
How Does It Work?
This course is a 8-module live, interactive online workshop from September 10, 2019 to November 18, 2019.
All sessions are conducted online via live webinar. You can log in via phone or Internet. You'll see the instructor's screen to view the presentation…all from your own home or office.
During each webinar session, the instructor will cover core concepts and steps and will leave plenty of time to ask your own questions.
Have more questions? No problem!
In addition to the eight webinar sessions, you'll also meet with your instructor for eight additional Q&A sessions where you can get additional assistance on workshop concepts, deepen your knowledge, and clarify any questions.
All 8 Workshop Sessions and 8 Q&A Sessions Are Recorded for Your Convenience.
We've also included a few bonus videos from some webinars on relevant topics to help your understanding.
Included are:
• Generalized Linear Models
• Making Sense of Statistical Distributions
• Types of Regression Models and When to Use Them
• Fixed and Random Factors in Mixed Models
• Poisson and Negative Binomial Regression for Count Data
• Binary, Ordinal, and Multinomial Logistic Regression for Categorical Outcomes
You'll have access to this site and all the related materials and resources for ONE FULL YEAR. That means you can re-watch sessions and ask additional questions again during that 12-month period.

Kim has more than a decade of professional and academic experience in regression and linear models, categorical data, generalized linear models, mixed effects models, nonlinear models, repeated measures, and experimental design.
While she enjoys working with all clients, Kim particularly enjoys working with those who feel they have a less-than-perfect relationship with statistics.
Her goal is to spread an appreciation of statistics across many fields of study, starting by making it understandable to those who interact with it.
So what kind of background in statistics do you need?
You need to have a solid foundation in linear mixed models and logistic regression or count models.
Your Satisfaction Is Guaranteed
As with all our programs, your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you participate fully in a workshop–watch, read, and try out everything included–and find you are not satisfied for any reason, we will give you a full refund, no questions asked. Just notify us within 90 days of purchasing the program.
Q. I haven't taken a statistics course in years. Will I be able to keep up?
As long as you have the suggested prerequisites (listed above), you should be fine. We know you don't spend all day, every day, running regression analyses!
However, you WILL need to spend some time each week, both going over the modules, and also "getting your hands dirty" with some data. Expect to spend 2-3 hours per week reviewing the concepts and doing the exercises, and re-running class examples on your own.
And if you have questions during the workshop, make sure to attend the Q&A sessions and/or post on the Workshop Center to clarify anything you're not clear on.
You know how this goes: The more time you put in, the deeper your understanding.
Q. What's your refund policy?
Your registration fee is fully refundable up to 72 hours before your first class session. No refunds will be granted after the program begins.
Q: Do you offer student discounts?
Yes, we do! Current students with a valid ID can register for up to 40% off the standard rate. Click here to receive our student discount on all our workshops: https://www.theanalysisfactor.com/student-discount-list/
Q: Things are very busy at work right now, and I'm afraid I won't have time to keep up. How much time per week does this really take?
Each workshop webinar session is 1.5 to 2 hours, whether you attend live or listen to the recording.
We provide exercises, answers and data sets, so you can practice what you've learned each week and get help in the Q&As. These will take you a few hours each week, maybe up to 3 or so. The exercises aren't required—you're not graded. But we've gotten feedback that they're very helpful, as it allows you to practice and figure out what you did and didn't understand.
One reminder: You have access to the workshop website, all materials, and a place to ask questions for a year. So if you get behind, you aren't missing out. You can catch up on your schedule.
Q: I teach/work/sleep during this time and cannot attend live. Is there any way to register and access the webinar sessions later?
You can also download and keep these videos forever, so if you need to refresh your memory at any point in the future, it's yours to review.
Q: I'm outside the U.S. Can I still participate?
Q: Can I pay with Paypal?
Q: Can I join the Q&A webinars from my tablet or phone?
Q: This really isn't a good time for me. Will you be offering this workshop again soon?
Have additional questions? We're here to help! Just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hit-Boy was on the Femme Fatale Mixshow and talked about losing the Frank Ocean and Nas collabo, and how it was not the only track he lost.
Around the time of Frank Ocean's debut album release Channel Orange, fans got wind that a collaboration between the OF singer and legendary emcee Nas titled "No Such Thing As White Jesus". Unfortunately, it was later announced that the single would not be released, as there were issues on the technical side.
The producer of the track, Hit-Boy, was on the Femme Fatale Mixshow, and explained how he lost the track. In fact, that was not the only record that was lost during travelling, as the producer says he lost a whole hard drive of material (from HipHopDX). "I had a bunch of sessions on [a hard drive], and in the mix somehow, in traveling, I lost the drive,"Hit-Boy said. "It's not only that song; it's a bunch of other songs I could be done with right now, and I'm kinda pissed about it, but it is what it is."
He has reached out to try to re-record the song, but with both Ocean and Nas with albums atop the charts, it is difficult to find time to get the three artists together, "I'm not sure [if we'll re-record it]; I had talked to Frank about it and he was gonna try to re-cut it, but he was doing so much for his album that he didn't have the time. It just didn't come together."
Nas and Frank Ocean's albums were number 2 and 3, respectively, in album sales last week. See the full Hit-Boy interview below.

About the Friends
The cumbersome title assumed by the Friends of King George V and Scotland Yard Parks reflects the fact that the official name of the park is the King George V Park, Eyre Place, whereas locally and unofficially it is known as Scotland Yard. The official name indicates that the western section of the park came into being in the early post war years as a King George V Memorial Playing Field, with the National Playing Fields Association (now Fields in Trust) as its guardian trustees. The local name points to the origins of the eastern section which is the site of the former Scotland Street Goods Yard.
A concerted community effort in the early 1980s led to a complete reconfiguration and regeneration programme being undertaken by the then City of Edinburgh District Council and a derelict space was transformed. However, subsequent years of neglect took their toll and by 2002 the park had become run down once again. At this point a group of concerned local residents formed the Friends, with the aim of working with the City of Edinburgh Council to improve the appearance of the park and the facilities it offered people of all ages.
Monthly Archives: November 2016

The village stands on the river Dorme, 4¼ miles W N W of Heyford r. station, and 4½ S W by S of Deddington; is a pretty place; and has a post-office under Oxford, and a tall cross on lofty steps. The parish contains also the hamlet of Leadwell, and comprises 1,850 acres. ...
Real property, £3, 887. Pop., 476. Houses, 105. The Manor House is the residence of the Rev. E. Marshall; and S. Park, of E. Guest, Esq. A quondamlarge mansion in Leadwell was the seat of Earl Deloraine. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Oxford. Value, £200.* Patron, the Duke of Marlborough one turn, and the Rev. E.

There's a lot of talk about the new Credit Scoring model called VantageScore. Proponents say that it will boost your score and help people with no credit history build a strong credit score.
Here's the bottom line: don't waste a single memory cell on it.
Now… the back-story for those those want it:
Until the majority of lenders are using a new scoring model, the FICO score will remain the main credit scoring system out there.
As of right now, major lenders like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not using VantageScore. In fact, I have never heard of a single lender who does use it.
When deciding whether to extend a loan to you, your potential creditors want to know how risky you are. Currently, the model they use to determine your creditworthiness is FICO, and almost exclusively FICO.
So if you want to qualify for a loan, or if you want to qualify for better terms on your existing loans/credit cards, you must follow the FICO model and do things which will improve your FICO score.
Ignore everything else because it will not make an ounce of difference if your lender is not looking at it. All it will do is paint an unrealistic picture of what loan terms you can expect.
I want you to focus on reality. And the reality is this: Almost every lender out there relies on FICO and only FICO when determining a credit score.
NOTE 1: When referring to FICO I mean the credit scoring model used by the 3 major Credit Bureaus, EQIFAX, TRANSUNION, and EXPERIAN.
NOTE 2: Be very careful of anyone claiming to be able to improve your Credit Score. I am aware of many scams but only 3 legitimate services that will actually get it done.

Nicholas Sheley was found guilty of the murders of four people.
Prosecutors made their closing arguments Thursday, May 29, 2014 saying Sheley left a strong trail of evidence from Illinois to Missouri in the brutal deaths of Kenneth Ulve, Brock Branson, Kilynna Blake, and her two-year-old son, Dayan.
A pathologist who testified during the trial said their fatal injuries were caused by a hammer.
Sheley had been accused of killing the four people in a Rock Falls apartment, during a two-date killing spree in Illinois and Missouri.
The jury deliberated for about three-and-a-half hours and found Sheley guilty of the four murders.

>Recently, Nancy Carlin blogged about her fellow Cal Shakes Associate Artist Ron Campbell's acting, clowning, and mask workshop here at the rehearsal hall. Late last week, Mr. King of the Kooza Clowns himself posted his own thoughts on the subject over at his blog, complete with new photos and three videos. Here's an excerpt:
In accordance with the Fox Fellowship for Distinguished Achievement this was to be a sharing of my findings from the various trainings in Mask and physical theatre that I have received over the past two years in Greece, Japan, Scotland, Canada and the United States. It turned out to be so much more. Once again I was reminded that the best way to learn something is to try to teach it.

Have been working on the O wagon for about 12 months or so. After the usual first stuff up with the test etch we finally have the hopper master done and the first castings out, thanks to the skills of Peter Boorman. Here are some pictures, a couple of modifications to the etch parts and then it will be in production.
This should make a couple of the Victorian N Scale Collective members quite happy :)
Added to the KT and KS wagons we did last week we now have a good collection of the signature wagons that ran through Nowa Nowa in the 1970's and early 1980's.

New Model underway FQX/OCX Container Flat
Aust-N-Rail in partnership with SDS Models would like to announce their next RTR Australian N scale wagon.
It is the FQX/OCX in three different versions. The NSW OCX/NQCX, the Victorian FQX/VQCX with tie down rings and the Victorian FQX/VQCX with side lashing bar. We are also hoping to be able to offer a specific SAR FQX/AQCX version (modified from the Vic version) however this is still under consideration. 12-14 colour/number versions are under consideration.
These models will also feature an N scale version of the XSC bogie, the first of a planned series of Australian specific bogies, with 36in wheels.
The wagon will have a detailed underfloor, a deck with container anchors sized for the Deluxe Innovation containers and body mounted Micro-Trains© couplers.
The combination of the new bogie and the "underslung" Micro-Trains coupler will allow a prototypical ride height for the wagon.
As you can see we have the first drawings already. We're expecting the first engineering samples in time for the Hobsons Bay MRRC show at Easter, with the final production in time for the Caulfield show in August.
|Detailed underfloor. Purple die cast chassis
|Container locks will be separete items to place
These will nicely complement the expected Austrains N scale NR, as well as the existing range of N scale RTR models.
As usual we will offer a preproduction order with an appropriately reduced cost.
These models will be available direct and through hobby shops.

MALAYSIA – UK-based specialty packaging manufacturer Parkside intends to "significantly invest" in its Malaysian operations to ensure its growing customer base in the Asia region can access the same high quality innovation and service as in Europe.
A new slitter and full plate making technology is to be installed at Parkside's plant in the Malaysian capital city of Kuala Lumpur, enabling the site to be self-sufficient from receipt of design through to end product shipment. In addition, a 10-colour flexographic press will be transferred there from the company's UK site.
John Taylor, general manager at Parkside Asia, said, "This investment will enable us to offer our international customers the high level of service they are used to from our UK operations and for Asia to build on this strength with local manufacturing, service and support."
The investment will also result in a faster turnaround service and significantly reduce current lead times ensuring customers can respond to changing market demands quickly.
With the new machinery expected to be in place by end of Q2 2016, print operators from Malaysia have been working at the company's UK site in West Yorkshire to learn more about the operation of each piece of technology so that they can train colleagues back in Malaysia and ensure any downtime is kept to a minimum during installation.
The site in Malaysia employs more than 40 people and primarily manufactures and prints packaging for the tobacco industry. Parkside is also focused on growing its reach into specialty packaging for the food and beverage markets in the region in line with its core strategy in Europe.

The Wheel of AgesComments (0) Filed under:
The world of Nahast started with the dance of the Azken, the great principle who started the count of days with the rhythm of its movements. Since the beginning of time, the basic principle of the world is that it moves; time goes ever forward, beginnings lead to endings and then to new starts. This eternal movement of the entirety of existence is called Ollin, which can mean "The Wheel of Ages", "The Wheel of Turning", or simply "movement".
From this section, you will be able to browse the posts that explain the mythic origins of Nahast and its denizens, and how to use these resonances in a game set in Nahast.

API access to the Signavio Process Manager¶
Signavio Process Manager offers access to the following APIs:
- A RESTful HTTP(S) API that allows you to integrate your systems and third-party systems with the Signavio application server.
- A JavaScript Mash-up API that allows you to interactively integrate the graphical representation of Signavio diagrams into other web applications' front ends.
This section provides an overview of these APIs. For more information on common integration scenarios, see System integration scenarios.
Using the Signavio Process Manager APIs requires an explicit API license. You need to purchase this license in addition to your Process Manager user licenses. This document provides an overview of the capabilities of Process Manager APIs. The full API documentation is only available for customers who purchased an API license.
The following diagram illustrates how to access Signavio Process Manager with the REST API and the Mash-up API.
The Signavio Process Manager REST API¶
The REST API provides access to Process Manager resources via HTTP.
A RESTful API uses HTTP methods like
PUT and
DELETE to create, access and manipulate HTTP resources.
The Signavio REST API is a client-server API for creating, updating and retrieving all diagram, folder and dictionary data.
Most HTTP response resource representations use the JSON format.
JSON is a lightweight, human-readable general purpose data format. All popular programing languages can process JSON, either natively or via mature third-party libraries.
We also provide a collection of requests you can import into the Postman HTTP client. With Postman, you can execute requests to get to know the API and generate code snippets to transfer them to your API development project.
REST API coverage¶
You can use the REST API to work with folders and diagrams. You can:
- List folders and their contents
- Create, rename, move and delete folders
- Search folders and diagrams. Searching supports filtering by result type and paging search results.
- List a diagram's revisions
- Fetch a specific diagram revision in JSON, BPMN 2.0 XML, SVG and PNG formats
- Create, update, rename, move, copy, publish and delete diagrams
- Import diagrams from BPMN 2.0
- Check BPMN 2.0 diagram syntax
You can also use the REST API to work with the Dictionary and set-up. You can:
- List Dictionary categories and fetch category details
- Create, update and delete Dictionary categories
- Search for Dictionary entries by category, initial letter of the entry name, or full text. Searching supports sorting and paging search results.
- Fetch Dictionary entries
- Create, update and delete Dictionary entries
- Create custom attributes
- Create custom data types (requires the Enterprise Plus Edition of Process Manager)
Example - generating custom reports¶
Process Manager provides a comprehensive set of configurable reports by default. Before you implement a custom report that leverages the REST API, check first if the default reporting capabilities cover your organization's needs. You can find an overview of all reports in the Process Manager user guide.
To generate a custom report, you can generally apply the following three-step approach:
Retrieve the corresponding metadata.
First, send one or more requests to the Process Manager server to retrieve an overview of the objects your report will cover. Depending on the scope of your report, either execute a search or traverse a folder. These requests return metadata about the objects your report will cover. Parse the JSON object the server returns to store object IDs and, optionally, other properties such as names.
Retrieve all relevant objects.
For each object ID you retrieve, send a
GETrequest for the corresponding resource URL to return the full object. Transform these objects into the data structures your report will contain.

NEW MOON "Energy Soup" – AUGUST 2016
The "Energy Soup" Report Follows:
At this New Moon, plant a seed for the Universe to tend. Set your vision upon the stars. The darkest, starriest nights occur as the Moon rises and sets with the Sun, inviting us to pause and reflect on where we have been, and envision anew where we are going.
New Moon: August 2, 2016 at 1:44 PM Pacific Time Zone
Since we're all inextricably interconnected to each other, our planet, and our universe, below are some the energies we're all swimming in together.
The Power Path ~ Use this moon as a restart. Let go of how you are holding or still processing all the ups and downs of transformative July. Forgive what has not gone so well, acknowledge what has, take a deep breath and regroup so you can step out more fully into your life with courage and a new resolve. This is a time to make some inner commitments to yourself about what you will do from now on and what you will not do anymore from now on. This new moon brings us all an opportunity for some inner truth telling and gives us the energy and clarity for new resolutions and determination. The energy of the sun empowers the masculine qualities of "will" and "action". That which has been set in motion during transformative and squirrelly July, can now find a new alignment for moving forward. You cannot do it alone. So start the cycle of this new moon by gathering your support and asking for help when you need it. Don't let this new moon go by without honoring it and yourself in some way.
Madeline Gerwick, Business Astrologer, Polaris Business Guides ~ The New Moon at 10 degrees Leo occurs on Tuesday, August 2nd. It's best to wait until a few days after the New Moon to start new projects, when you can see the Moon growing in light. This New Moon shows leaders and the public being responsible (Sun and Moon trine Saturn) and taking care of obligations. Watch communications though! There can be both confusion or deception, and critical or judgmental thinking.
Cosmic*Intelligence*Agency ~ With the trine from Saturn to the New Moon it's a great time to nurture the prime resource of our inner fire and work with the virtues of Leo to center ourselves in heart consciousness, strength, courage, love, confidence, creativity and (com)passion and to confidently walk the path as an autonomous and independent leader; in that we know our truth, we know the source of it, we know the path of our heart and we take full responsibility for ourselves, in this way, we are the leaders of ourselves and nobody else can claim that. And as we hold this spiritual power steady over time by 'being' in our authenticity and integrity we too, shall be masters of ourselves and with it have an incredibly positive influence on that grand sum of consciousness going on out there because at the end of the day we are all one and we can change the world by changing our selves first.
JUL 26-AUG 22 is the "Magnetic Moon [Month] of Purpose" according to the Galactic Calendar – its energies are UNIFY-ATTRACT-PURPOSE; its Totem Animal is BAT. "You are internally programmed to rise to your highest creative possibility." ~ Marianne Williamson
August Theme - "Collaboration"
The Power Path - Lena & Jose Stevens: Although the experiences you may have during the month could be as diverse as the population of the planet, the theme of COLLABORATION gets to the foundation of what is needed right now in everyone's life if we are to set things up in the best way possible for a positive future. What is COLLABORATION? Collaboration is working in cooperation with others to achieve a common goal. [Read more…]
Ongoing "ENERGY SOUP"
Mars Retrograde - Jun 26-Aug 27 2016 - Stephanie Austin, EcoAstrology - While retrograde in Sagittarius, Mars summons us to re-examine our most fundamental assumptions, question our strategies, and realign with our higher Self. Are we living our life purpose? Are we walking our talk? Where do we need to take a leap of faith?
Saturn-Neptune Squares – Sep 10 2016 - Stephanie Austin, EcoAstrology - This Saturn–Neptune square is part of a larger synodic cycle of 36 years. Squares mark important turning points; these are waning squares, considered by Dane Rudhyar 'a crisis in consciousness,' where we must re-orient ourselves and release forms which no longer support our growth…Saturn–Neptune squares challenge us to manifest from our essence rather than our ego, and to follow our intuition and inner guidance rather than external authority and convention. We are summoned to spiritual maturity, which entails letting go of martyrdom and victim mentality, blame and guilt, addictions and illusions. By making more time and space in our lives to connect with our higher self, we are able to see where we have been in denial, where we have abdicated our power, and how we can instead live with both integrity and vision, pragmatism and faith. As we engage more with nature, meditation, and the wisdom of our heart, we see through the fears and beliefs that block us from embodying our truth…
Some ways to work with this ongoing Saturn-Neptune square:
- Simplify. Less can be more—more time, less hassle.
- Prioritize. A powerful mantra: What is most important in this moment?
- Set realistic goals. Make reminders of what is most important to you.
- Listen to your body. Aches, pains, illness are are messages that we need to make a change.
- Pay attention to your dreams. Both day and night dreams provide valuable pointers.
- Give yourself daily soul time. Meditate, do art, play music, dance, journal, walk, etc.
- Be completely honest. Tell the truth always, with compassion for all concerned.
- "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty" (Anne Herbert)
- Be in gratitude. Thankfulness opens the heart and the way for more blessings to come.
- And most importantly: "Practice responding to every emotion or thought of fear, anger, resistance, shame, judgement, excitement, or whatever with one word–"interesting", asking yourselves; "What am I believing that is making me feel this way, is it true?

Super slim Angelina Jolie hosts five course banquet for her Sarajevo film premiere...and 'tastes a little bit of everything'
Angelina Jolie pulled out all the stops last week for a lavish dinner to celebrate the Sarajevo premiere of her Bosnian war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey.
The actress-turned-director hosted the banquet with partner Brad Pitt for the Bosnian team who worked on the film.
The mother-of-six had looked elegant in a flowing and demure black gown with her hair styled into a simple up 'do as she took to the red carpet earlier in the evening.
But at 5ft 8in, Ms Jolie who should weigh between 9st and 11½st, appeared super slim as, according to reports, her weight has recently slipped to about 7st.
Hosts with the most: Angelina and Brad hosted a five course meal for the film crew in Sarajevo after the premiere of her film In the Land of Blood and Honey
The five course dinner menu, prepared by the Bristol Hotel where the superstar couple stayed, featured bruschetta with chicken liver pate; red trout fillet with black and red rice and fennel; veal filet with three kind of herbs; a traditional Bosnian dish called kadun butic consisting of three types of minced meat on a cinnamon stick, and a dessert trio of hazelnut cremino, raspberry cheese cake and tartufo nero.
In the Land of Blood and Honey actor Fedja Stukan who dined at Pitt and Jolie's table gushed: 'I must admit that I never had better tasting food! Angelina and Brad agreed with me.'
Jolie and Pitt paid their compliments to the staff at the end of the meal: 'They thanked them for wonderful hospitality and tasty food,' a staffer told Us magazine. 'Jolie tasted a little bit of everything,' he added.
Underweight? Angelina Jolie's plummeting weight has reportedly been a concern to friends and colleagues for some time
Busy night: The actress poses with the two stars of her film Zana Marjanovic and Goran Kostic
The actress has previously spoken about her weight loss, saying she was unable to eat after her mother Marcheline died from cancer in 2007.
Meanwhile it was recently revealed that ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton is set to make a film about their relationship.
Producer Alexander Rodnyansky confirmed to Variety magazine that Billy Bob is co-writing and directing a movie based on his wild and well-documented relationship with the actress.
The film called, And Then We Drove, is described as an 'ethereal road movie' and will shoot 'sometime this year.'
Billy Bob said the film is about: 'a guy who's on a road trip and picks up this girl along the way, and what happens to them. It's about the question of life: "What is this? Where do I fit in?"'
Lavish banquet: Staff at the dinner say Angelina tried 'a bit of everything'
Angelina married Billy Bob in 2000 in Vegas after going public with their relationship just two months earlier.
Their bond was often documented in the media because of their bizarre behaviour which included wearing vials of their blood around their necks.
Set against the backdrop of the Bosnian war, In the Land of Blood and Honey tells the story of a Bosnian Serbian soldier Danijel (Goran Kostić), who comes across former love Ajla (Zana Marjanović), a Bosnian woman who is now a captive in the military prison camp he oversees.
The actress revealed her directorial experience on the movie helped her appreciate film again, after 'becoming disheartened,' with the medium.
Here Comes Trouble: Ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton is working on a film about his turbulent relationship with Angelina
She said: 'This film has taught me to love film again because I see what film can do and I see and I am re-inspired because I was not feeling very inspired as an actress. I was feeling very disheartened.
'I came to this film not because I wanted to be a director, I came to this film because the more I researched, the more I learned, the more angry I got.'
Angelina said she hoped the film was a 'wake-up call' for the international community to pay more attention to atrocities and act to prevent them in countries such as Syria, where a government crackdown has killed thousands in the past year.

Vibrant spiraled red bulbous heads make this double dildo more than just another sex toy: it's a work of art. Perfect for erotic couples play. Fracture-resistant and hypoallergenic, this toy can be easily cleaned. Retains heat and cold for increased stimulation. Compatible with all lubricants.
Ships Everywhere.
My gf absolutely loves this glass thing. She was lost for words the very first time she used it... all she kept doing was moaning and groaning her head off. Very proud of myself for picking it out!Anonymous - February 16 2015
All my sex toys are either plastic or silicone, so i was interested in trying something new. Never had a double sided one either, so that looked interesting to me. Like the fact that you can use one side for the vagina and then use the other side for anal play, without having to worry about germs. it's truly a work of art and i also like that you can warm it up or have it cold as ice. Highly recommend this one if you're looking into buying your first glass toyAnonymous - October 7 2014

A carver works with wood to create artistic wood figures ornaments sculptures or other decorations on furniture. The skill of carving wood dates back many centuries and the first examples of this form of art have been uncovered from 16th century artifacts.
A wood carver uses many types of tools to achieve their final products. Some such tools include carving knives chisels gouges coping saws V-tools veiners and more. They must also utilize equipment to sharpen all of the abovementioned tools so that they all remain sharp and ready to use.
A carver must be knowledgeable about different types of wood and which woods are capable of handling different carving techniques. For example some woods are weaker than others and cannot be carved in intricate manners. Also a carver must know about the grain of the woods they are using and how the design of the carving should be arranged on the wood to best utilize the woods natural pattern.
A wood carver is sometimes called a carpenter but is normally involved with the creative and artistic elements of the final product rather than the actual construction. Carvers may work for construction companies but many are self-employed. Most carvers join the United Brotherhood of Carpenters which is a group consisting of both men and woman dedicated to supporting this profession.
While a formal education is not required for this job there are schools that offer certificates or degrees in wood technology. The single most important requirement for this job is the ability to be creative.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the average yearly salary for a carver is $31000 per year however extremely talented carvers can earn significantly more.

S: A Tale of Unadopted Adaptations
FC: A Tale of Unadopted Adaptations | By: Martina Padron and Colton Marcinell
1: Hello, boys and girls, today, the subject is "adaptations", after this story you will answer some questions about them.
2: Once, there was an ant named George, who lived in his little village abundant with ants with various little cottages made of leaves and rocks. Like any other day he headed off to his school, which was comprised of mostly ants. George was excited, this was because, they would be learning of adaptations, today.
4: George pondered what an adaptation was, he knew adapting was and that was getting used to something. So adaptations must be things must be things used to adapt he figured. George arrived at school, and shortly after class began. It seems that his guess about adaptations was correct.
5: The teacher explained what adaptations were, they were traits or actions that helped an organism, adapt or survive. But as the class was left to do an assignment, some of the other ants made fun of him, it was a new year and George hardly knew anyone. He was made fun of due to how he was red and everyone else was brown.
6: It was strange to him how his classmates, who hadn't even bothered or spoke to him before now were making fun of him. But this continued for several days after the lesson that he had been so happy about and interested in. This made him both increasingly upset and annoyed. He hated his redness.
7: So George spoke to his teacher, who told him, "Don't worry about it, you may find people that can appreciate such a trait." All George could do was attempt to move on, and he did, only to find a greater problem...
8: There was a giant spider who had started to attack his village! What was he supposed to do!? The creature wandered destroying almost everything in sight, but didn't seem to notice George, strangely enough. "This is like an adaptation!", George realized.
9: He realized that he blinded in with the red stump of wood that he stood by, and came up with a plan to save the village. He managed to find a ditch nearby and covered it so that the spider would not notice one bit and get stuck in his trap. Then, George went out of his camouflage.
10: When George went out of camouflage, he made sure that he could be seen by the spider and ended up directing him right into the ditch, never again would the spider cause destruction. Ever since that day, because of his adaptation of camouflage, George has been regarded as the village hero, and he never was picked on again.
11: The End

Cracking Up [Jerry Lewis]
Cracking Up (1983) starring Jerry Lewis
Editorial review of Cracking Up courtesy of Amazon.com
Cracking Up is a crazy quilt of sight gags, one-liners, caricatures, slapstick and quirky vocal mannerisms. In short, it's marvelous mayhem of the kind which has gained Jerry Lewis admirers the world over. Lewis plays a hapless misfit who seeks psychiatric help after bumbling a suicide attempt. (more…)
Sailor Beware
Sailor Beware (1952) starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis
The description from Amazon.com reads: "Chasing pretty girls, blowing up a liferaft inside a submarine, virtually every sailor gag ever thought of, and a bunch of songs fill out this Martin and Lewis outing as a pair of sailors."
That pretty much summarizes it pretty well. Effectively a series of skits or sketches around the theme of being in the Navy. Giving ample room for slapstick for Jerry Lewis, singing for Dean Martin, and comedic interaction between the two of them. (more…)

On the lam, they run into Mary Caroll (Lizabeth Scott), who has inherited a haunted castle from her father, where the three of them go. Once there the "ghost" makes his appearance, Dean sings, Jerry does slapstick — including an imitation of their co-star, Carmen Miranda. (more…)
Funny Bones, starring Jerry Lewis
Editorial review of Funny Bones, courtesy of Amazon.com
Funny Bones, directed by Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song), is a weird but intriguing comedy with a particularly dark edge. Oliver Platt plays a would-be comedian, the son of a major comedy star (Jerry Lewis); Dad's reputation even overshadows his son's Las Vegas debut. After that flop the son tries to go back to his roots and heads for his father's launch pad in Blackpool, England. There, he meets his previously unknown half-brother (Lee Evans), a bizarre comedy savant who teaches him a thing or two about taking risks to get laughs, and discovers a secret about how his father got started. Platt is likably lost and Lewis is perfectly overbearing, but the real find here is Evans, a rubber-faced, protean comic with always-surprising material. –Marshall Fine (more…)
The Stooge [Martin and Lewis]
The Stooge, starring Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Polly Bergen
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis first became famous as a nightclub act, graduating to radio, television and the movies.

No antibiotics used in surgery, Petroleum jelly wound treatment, Photographs of squamous cell carcinoma progress, Squamous cell carcinoma, Treating a deep skin wound, Weeks of photos of wound healing
The squamous cell carcinoma on my right shin looked like this before the surgery. [The photos were added to the original post on the dates noted.]
This first photo was taken of my right shin 20 hours after the surgery.
The curettage cut marks are clearly visible as strips across the wound area. Around the wound are needle marks were the numbing agents were injected. These pinpricks were the only pain felt before, during and for the weeks after the operation.
Squamous cell carcinoma on May 18, 12 days after the surgery.
These photos make this procedure look a lot worse than it felt. The only discomfort I have felt is in bed when my legs get crossed over the wound. The wound is slow to heal, but the doctors were confident that there would be no trouble, because this type of carcinoma is confined to the surface of the skin, and all of that has been removed.
I have been cleaning the wound every day as instructed. Immediately after removing the old bandage I get into the shower, which has been preheated to mouth temperature, and soap the wound and rub it gently with my palm for a few seconds, and then rinse and repeat three times. Within seconds, even before drying anywhere I smoothly smear a pea size gob of petroleum jelly over the whole wound, and immediately put a bandage over the mess. Then I towel dry the rest of my body.
That procedure is intended to prevent infection because everything is kept very clean, and the natural body-moisture beneath the jelly is ideal for healing. When using this procedure a scab doesn't form because the healing skin is kept moist, and they told me the new flesh forms more smoothly.
The doctors say that squamous cell carcinoma is the least dangerous form of cancer; all the same it is probably best to have it removed before it grows larger.

Hundreds of thousands join Occupy movement
Gabe Falsetta
Across the nation, in all 50 states, hundreds of thousands joined Occupy Wall Street, the labour movement and their allies in demonstrations demanding jobs, taxation of the rich, curbs on the power of big finance and preservation of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
In Sydney the Communist Party was out supporting the Occupy movement. (Photo: Bernadette Smith)
Leaving behind their tents and tarps, the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators brought their message to the people by marching through the nation's financial districts, through the streets of cities and towns coast to coast, and by occupying everything from mass transit hubs to the bridges that span the nation's rivers, canals and lakes.
Coming just two days after protesters were evicted from their headquarters in many city parks and town squares, the mass demonstrations amounted to the largest public outpouring of support for the movement since it began as a picket line in the financial district In New York on September 17.
Nearly 40,000 people from over one hundred groups jammed Foley Square here, alone. They poured into the square after having demonstrated at numerous other events around the city, including at the opening of the New York Stock Exchange.
Although they came in solidarity with those who were evicted last week by court order from their Zuccotti Park encampment they, in effect, were launching an Occupy Wall Street movement far bigger and broader than it had been at any time before the eviction.
Billionaire Mayor Bloomberg had gone to the Appeals Court to overturn a Supreme Court ruling that allowed protesters to remain in Zuccoti Park with their tents and tarps. If there was ever any illusion that the mayor's move would kill the movement, it evaporated at Foley Square.
The tens of thousands gathered in the square heard music and they heard testimony from speakers who, after having lost jobs, homes and hope, were fighting back. Hope for a better America, many said, was in the air.
Unions were out in force at Foley Square, as they were at demonstrations across the country.
Michele Keller, speaking for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, declared, "We are part of the protest that's letting it be known quite clearly that we are the 99 percent. We are part of a union and blessed to have a job; we are linked by our brothers and sisters and our young people. We are being left behind and whatever we can do today and every day we will do."
"We're supporting Occupy Wall Street," said Chris Rzonca of the United Auto Workers, Local 7902, the adjunct union at New York University. "Our union, the UAW, has come out strongly in favour of it. We are here to support these young people to make sure they know we are behind them.
"We have to find out what people need and talk about economic justice. We've been doing the same thing as unions-- we marched on Wall Street many times but these young people put their bodies out there and I think that has made the difference."
Eventually the crowd formed itself into a massive procession to the Brooklyn Bridge chanting, "We are the 99 percent," "People united will never be defeated," and "Whose streets? Our streets."
In a planned act of civil disobedience, Mary Kaye, president of the Service Employees International Union, and several members of the New York City Council were arrested on the bridge.
Kristin Schall, 27, passionately expressed her feelings, saying, "I'm a graduate student at Brooklyn College and I studied early childhood education. I'm $100,000 dollars in debt. I'll never pay off my student loans. My future students aren't going to have the opportunity to go to college or own a home or to have a good job because Wall Street and capitalism have gutted the future. I'm here for that future."
The crowds were so thick that it took several hours for the typical marcher to get from Foley Square to the Brooklyn side of the bridge. The people roared and cheered every time a passing car honked its support.
The day had begun in New York with more than 100,000 people, attempting a march on the New York Stock Exchange. They were held back, however, by lines of helmeted police.
Entrances to many buildings in the financial district were needlessly blocked by the seemingly overwhelmed New York Police Department, making it impossible for many workers to get to their jobs.
In the afternoon, there were demonstrations at subway stops all over the city. Occupy the Subway contingents later joined the rally at Foley Square.
Rebecca Myers, who is both a student at General Theological Seminary and a social worker, said, "I'm here to give support. I'm excited because it creates conversation among a lot of people and that is very important in a democracy, to have that conversation. Occupy Wall Street has shifted the conversation."

PowerArchiver is a fast and easy to use compression utility. PowerArchiver offers an option to use an Explorer-like interface for browsing your hard drive for archives, which also supports shell integration. It supports most popular compressed and encoded formats currently in use.
PowerArchiver enables you to create ISO images, either by ripping the CD/DVD/BD with Disc Grabber, or directly with files from your hard disk. With PowerArchiver's Virtual Drive feature, you can also mount .ISO images into Windows so they appear like a normal drive and you can browse inside. In addition to creating and mounting .ISO images, you can now burn archives, images and any files directly from PowerArchiver or via Explorer Shell Extensions to a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disc. Once you're done, you can verify the burned files to make sure everything was burned correctly and without errors.
Read and write support for ZIP, ZIPX, 7-ZIP, CAB, LHA (LZH), TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, ISO (ISO9660 and UDF – PRO only), BH, XXE, UUE, yENC, and MIME (Base 64). Read and extract support for: RAR (10% faster than WR 4.x), ARJ, ARC, ACE, MSI, NSIS, CHM, DMG, RPM, CPIO, VHD, XAR, LZMA, SquashFS, CramFS, ZOO, WIM plus ISO (ISO9660 and UDF) disc image formats and much much more…
What's new in this version:
- Updated PowerArchiver Cloud – Significant update to the core engine as well as the GUI of PowerArchiver Cloud application. Brand new core engine makes accessing clouds with thousands of files much faster than before – for example 10,000 files on SkyDrive used to take up to 7-8 minutes, now it is several seconds to access. Similar improvements to other clouds such as Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Google Drive and Dropbox. GUI was also improved to look more like full application, with icons in the file list and "…" shortcut for easier browsing. Full help and YouTube video tutorial added.
- Windows XP security fix issue – One of the Microsoft Windows XP security fixes from December 10th 2013 prevented PowerArchiver from starting due to missing dependency (unusual and probably not intended from MS to break compatibility). This has been fixed in 14.02.
- Support for Ultra compression in Drag and Drop – Added support for Ultra compression strength in Drag and Drop window.
- Updated Translations – Brand new Korean translation, as well as updated Hebrew and Simplified Chinese translations.
- Improved format support – Improved format support for RAR, TAR, 7zip. Added support for IPK files.
- Various other small improvements – Total of 25 improvements/bugfixes implemented since previous release.

Excerpt here
Release Date: September 25, 2012
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
No safe word can protect the heartInfamous erotica author and accomplished dominatrix Nora Sutherlin is doing something utterly out of character: hiding. While her longtime lover, Søren—whose fetishes, if exposed, would be his ruin—is under scrutiny pending a major promotion, Nora's lying low and away from temptation in the lap of luxury.
Her host, the wealthy and uninhibited Griffin Fiske, is thrilled to have Nora stay at his country estate, especially once he meets her traveling companion. Young, inexperienced and angelically beautiful, Michael has become Nora's protégé, and this summer with Griffin is going to be his training, where the hazing never ends.
But while her flesh is willing, Nora's mind is wandering. To thoughts of Søren, her master, under investigation by a journalist with an ax to grind. And to another man from Nora's past, whose hold on her is less bruising, but whose secrets are no less painful. It's a summer that will prove the old adage: love hurts.
"If it's an abomination, it's because you're doing it wrong. Bear down hard, then relax. It'll fit better." - Nora on anal sex, lecturing elderly ladies gossiping about her in church
"Michael, Eleanor is without a doubt the most beautiful woman who has ever or will ever live. If you could take a nighttime thunderstorm and turn it into a woman, you would have a very good idea what she looks like. And fairly good idea how she behaves as well," - Søren
"Jesus H. Christ," Nora groaned. "Why priests can't keep their holy cocks inside their goddamn pants is beyond me."
"We value the most what we must sacrifice to have." - Søren
Do not envy a sinner; you don't know what disaster awaits him - Bible

The first four winners of Bikesure's year-long competition to win free quad bike insurance are celebrating an unexpected windfall.
To celebrate 10 years of providing cover for all types of quad since the market for all-terrain vehicles really took off, we're offering customers old and new the chance to win back the cost of their insurance up to a value of £1,000.
The competition is running each month from April 2013 to March 2014, and all types of quad are eligible for the draw, from performance and sports quads to utility and buggies.
Anyone who takes out a new policy or existing customers whose policy renews during that period will automatically be entered into the draw, with one winner selected per calendar month to receive a refund.

- June: Paul Colebrook, from Dorset, for his Xinyang Spy 250
- July: Glen Cobb, from Kent, for his Bashan BS200S-3
Paul, a member of the Quad Heaven forum, which is sponsored by Bikesure, said: "I had seen the promotion on the site but never thought in a million years I'd win it, so I'm really chuffed."
Bikesure general manager Gerry Bucke said: "We're delighted to give something back to customers old and new as a thank you for keeping us at the forefront of quad insurance.
"As well as potentially winning the cost of your premium back, our rates are also very competitive at the moment in any case."
Our quad bike policies offer:

My Heart Belongs in Hawaii
Dedicated to All the Long Distance Lovers
Submitted by Damien
I first met her when I graduated school. My family and I were in Hawaii celebrating my graduation. It was the first time I was there and it was unbelievable. The sky was so blue it felt like I was in utopia. I met this gorgeous angel from heaven whose name was Violet. She was a native Hawaiin with beautiful features and hair as soft as silk and as long as the river. Our eyes met and never left each other. As soon as we saw each other we knew that we belonged together and our souls were reunited from a previous life. I was there for a whole two weeks and everyday I spent with Violet. She showed me all around the island and got to spend time with her family and other Hawaiins. They have such a beautiful culture and we always held each other at the beach waiting for the sun to go down. She was first and only true love. Unfortunately, I had to leave to go back home. We kept in touch by writing each other since she didn't have a computer and she always sealed her letters with a kiss. After a couple of years she stopped writing and I don't know what has happened to her but I'm determined to save up enough money to go back to Hawaii to find Violet because I can never give my heart to another woman because, "My Heart Belongs in Hawaii".

Fish tracked down a brand new music video with LOTS of Alexandra screen time! It's called "Annie Leibovitz" by a Swedish rapper and reggae artist called Timbuktu. The video is very cool and an amazing find!
Fish tracked down a brand new music video with LOTS of Alexandra screen time! It's called "Annie Leibovitz" by a Swedish rapper and reggae artist called Timbuktu. The video is very cool and an amazing find!
Fish came across this video of Alexandra Dahlström on a website called Höj Rösten! It is entirely in Swedish but still a good watch for us non-Swedish speakers. It's for a campaign called Raise the Voice which encourages everyone to vote in their elections and unite against racists, nationalists and xenophobia in a non-violent manner.
It blows nationalist winds through Europe. Ahead of the European elections in May nationalist, xenophobic and racist parties mobilize in many countries. In an election with low voter turnout, it can have devastating consequences.
Therefore, it is more important than ever that we who believe in transparency and equal value raises our voices and use our right to vote. Our silence favors only the xenophobic forces.
In addition to voting May 7 to 25, you can get involved like this!
Raise the Voice is a non-political movement founded on transparency, non-violence and universal equality.
Behind the initiative Raise the Voice! stand volunteers and individuals who feel it is important that as many people as possible raise their voice against xenophobia. Some of these you can see in the videos here on hojrosten.se.
A couple photos from the Jessica Gow photo shoot from back in February. Larger versions are unfortunately stamped by Scanpix but use your imagination!
I've been lacking in updates recently but my friend Fish has tracked down some more Alexandra related news!
Cissi Efraimsson's (of Vulkano) film Neptune Moon will be premiering on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at Barbro in Stockholm. You can check out the event page on Facebook. I knew Alexandra Dahlström was attached to the film in some way and I'm pleased to see she'll also make an appearance on camera!
Here's a translation courtesy of Fish:
Welcome to the premiere of Vulkano's psychedelic debut film Neptune Moon!
Join us on a magical journey into a parallel universe where Cissi Efraimsson and Lisa Pyk Wirström stay in a timeless unpleasant sphere. We are in Vulkano's inner wild world where nothing is as expected. We meet odd characters taken from Vulkano's lyrics. Among other things, a magician (Alexandra Dahlström) who opened the salon in the middle of the woods, strange animals, mysterious children and a mighty queen (Birgitta Larsson) among a harem of beautiful men .
Occasional horror movie, occasionally absurd comedy. Neptune Moon is a surreal, dreamy and funny story with many twists. The line between reality and fantasy, darkness and light blurring, and we are in a confused state in between.
A year ago, Cissi began writing a script based on the songs from Vulkano's debut album Live Wild Die Free. She wanted to try to make a visual experience of Vulkano's music, give it a face, instead of doing traditional music videos. So she wove together all the songs from the disc into a story. Along with a bunch of great artists so the idea became a reality."

Santa Lucia, aka St. Lucy, was a 3rd century Roman martyr. She is the patron of eyesight, because she supposedly plucked eyes out to give to a suitor who would not leave her alone. She is also the saint associated with Swedish girls wearing candles on their heads.
Lucy's feast day, December 13, which was the Winter Solstice before the Renaissance era change to the Gregorian calendar. Her name means "light", and so Santa Lucia is the saint of the Winter Solstice–the guide out of that dark teatime of the soul, the shortest day of the year when it is is easy to sink into despair. Upon her feast day (or, now, soon after her feast day), light begins to return–life begins anew in the northern hemisphere.
The fish is a lantern fish. Lantern fish bio-luminesce—they make light in darkness. They are also a large percentage of the biomass in the oceans–as food, they nourish much of the oceanic food chain. The eyes in the pot of wheat shoots reference her association with eyesight. The wheat itself comes from a Hungarian tradition planting wheat seeds on Saint Lucy's Day. By Christmas, the seeds will have sprouted.
The three small rectangles refer to Lucy's martyrdom. According to the stories, she was immovable when oxen were supposed to drag her to her execution. Though she was unscathed when tied to the stake to be burnt, she then perished when a dagger was plunged in her neck.

Physiotherapy Services
Physiotherapy is provided on an appointment only basis. Appointments are 30 minutes in duration.
Standard session (up to 30min): €60
Student : €50
Medical Card Holder : €50
Double session (up to 1hour) : €110
Assessing the foot and determining the correct prescription takes more than a standard session. If you know you need orthotics then book a double session, but usually, this requires a second session (if so we discount the fitting session). We will only recommend custom orthotics if your feet meet certain criteria that suggest you really need them. Often for acute problems, a temporary orthotic will support the foot well enough to allow the problem to heal.
Orthotic Devices: €250 – 300 depending on material and prescription.
Orthotic Fitting: usually free (incl in prescription session charge). €25 if more than 15min
Orthotic Recheck: €25 (at one month)
Off the shelf customisable Orthotics: €50 - 70
As Chartered Physiotherapists your treatment is covered by VHI / Laya / Irish Life / HSF and other private health insurance. Coverage varies by insurer and plan, so please check with your provider to see what they will reimburse. What is not covered may be deductible on your MED1 form as tax relief.
Unless with prior arrangement, payment is strictly per session at the time of treatment. We take all credit cards, cash and cheque.

The government was tight-lipped Thursday over negotiations to free military and security personnel held by jihadists, as the Muslim Scholars Committee hinted it might suspend its mediation if no response was given to the captors' demands.Committee member Sheikh Adnan Amama said the scholars were waiting for Lebanon's official answer to the demands, put forward by militants from Syria's Al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, to free 29 Lebanese Army soldiers and Internal Security Forces members who were seized during clashes in the border town of Arsal in early August. Last year, Qatar, with mediation from General Security head Abbas Ibrahim, played a crucial role in the release of nine Lebanese pilgrims taken hostage by rebel groups in Syria.While the Muslim Scholars Committee denies that the release of Roumieh prison inmates factors into the conditions set by the militants, other sources acquainted with the fighters claim that they figure prominently.
