Or, to be more accurate, a Wookie fresh from the shower. Either way, things have got a bit steamed up…
A collection of naughty photographs © Kilted Wookie
So, almost two years ago, I posted this image. A lot has happened in that time; some of it good, some of it less so.
The point is, I guess, that despite ups and downs a plenty, I'm still here and the only thing I seem to have lost is, as per usual, my clothes…
A long time ago, when I posted this photo, the lovely Simina set me the challenge that she wanted to see me "shirtless but while wearing a Féileadh Mor". Now, sadly, while I do own a kilt, as can be seen here, it is the smaller, dress, Féileadh Beag.
I hope she won't be too disappointed though.
Anyway, although my name isn't Donald, I thought I'd round off my collection of song title related photos with this one…
Now I went down to London Town
And I had some fun in the underground
The ladies turned their heads around
Saying, Donald, where are your trousers?
– Andy Stewart
So, I missed last week; so I thought I'd make it up to you by posting not one, but two images from my latest au naturale foray into the great outdoors.
I hope this double dose of outdoor Wookieness goes some way to making up for my absence last week.
I do love it when the weather decides to play along and allow me the opportunity to indulge in some alfresco nudity.
Windows allow us to look at the world, but they also allow the world to look back at us.
I look out at the world; I see people going about their daily lives, I see the turn of the seasons, I see the passing of time. What does the world see when it looks back?
I had a bit of a struggle this week, trying to decide which edit to go for. In the end, I decided, what the hell? I'll post both and let you choose your favourite. Hopefully, between the two, there should be something for everyone…

Case Studies
Case Study #1
Cascade Natural Gas' Monthly RFPs
Cascade Natural Gas, a prominent natural gas distribution company serving approximately 257,000 residential, commercial, industrial and transportation customers in 93 communities in Washington and Oregon, needed a better way to manage the monthly procurement of their long-term natural gas. To better control and track their Request for Price (RFP) process, Cascade turned to COMET to make the method more efficient and to ease their regulatory burden.
The Situation
Cascade was interested in finding a more modern and streamlined approach to their RFP process for procuring natural gas. Prior to using COMET, Cascade would use e-mail and phone to manage its monthly procurement needs, but that process was very manual, time-consuming, and did not have a simple mechanism to review bids and manage their audit and regulatory needs . Cascade quickly found that by using COMET for their RFPs, they could reduce the time it takes to complete a transaction and have a better way to address their reporting requirements.
The Process
Working closely with the TruMarx team, Cascade was able to identify current suppliers as well as potential new counterparties that were on COMET's growing subscriber list. The few Cascade suppliers that were not on COMET already were notified in advance of Cascade's initial RFP so they could make the necessary arrangements to access the platform. Since there was no software to install or license fees, the process of connecting new subscribers was completed quickly and easily.
Cascade works closely with the COMET support team to post the terms, conditions and other relevant transaction information on COMET. Cascade's selected counterparties are simultaneously notified, can view all of the transaction details, submit offers, ask questions, and negotiate. At the close of the period, an automated bid comparison is produced directly from the COMET platform. A complete audit trail is maintained since all internal and external communications on COMET are logged and tracked.
The COMET Advantage
Today, Cascade uses COMET for their long-term natural gas procurement transactions using a variety of pricing mechanisms including index, fixed price, and even some fixed-for-float hedges. The efficiencies gained have allowed Cascade to streamline their entire RFP process dramatically reducing the number of days it takes to complete an RFP, leading to cost savings as well.
Benefiting from the fact that COMET captures all transactional data, Cascade is able to more easily meet much of their audit and documentation compliance needs both internally and externally. From state regulators to federal reporting like the FERC Form 552,
Cascade has found COMET's audit trail output saved them more time and money when generating their annual documentation.
"COMET has provided us with process efficiencies and has significantly reduced the duration of many of our RFP cycles, saving Cascade time and money. COMET makes our old, manual ways of transacting suddenly seem archaic."
– Mark Sellers-VaughnManager, Supply, Resource Planning, Cascade Natural Gas
Regulation and Compliance
A comprehensive audit trail was created for all interactions on COMET.
Through automation, the duration of RFP cycles was reduced, saving time and money.
Customer Service
There was full support for the entire transaction process from set-up to completion.
Case Study #2
ENSTOR Open Season
ENSTOR, a leading independent provider of natural gas storage, needed an efficient way to accept binding bids for firm natural gas storage capacity at its U.S. facilities. To manage the publication, distribution and negotiation process for their open season, ENSTOR embraced COMET to easily connect with current and new clients.
The Situation
With another open season approaching, ENSTOR was looking for a better way to manage the bid process for natural gas storage. In years past, ENSTOR had used a proprietary online system to manage its bid transactions, but that system was burdensome, time-consuming and expensive to maintain. ENSTOR discovered that by using COMET for their open season, they could relieve themselves of unnecessary burdens while providing bidders with a platform that was easy to use and would meet regulatory needs.
The Process
Working closely with the TruMarx team, ENSTOR was able to identify current customers as well as potential new counterparties that were on COMET's growing subscriber list. ENSTOR clients that were not on COMET were notified in advance of the open season so they could make the necessary arrangements to access the platform. Since there was no software to install or license fees, the process of connecting new subscribers was completed quickly and easily.
As the open season neared, the terms, conditions and other relevant transaction information was entered into COMET. When open season began, all counterparties were simultaneously notified and could view all of the transaction information. Throughout the bid period, ENSTOR added additional counterparties and viewed responses as they were received. At the close of the period, a bid comparison was produced directly from the platform. A complete audit trail was created since all internal and external communications on COMET are logged and tracked.
The COMET Advantage
Having committed to providing leading edge technology to its customers, ENSTOR's use of COMET fulfilled their need for efficiency not only for their open season but for future dealings as well. ENSTOR is better positioned to take advantage of COMET moving forward for storage deals, parks, loans, as well as other natural gas transactions. With the benefits COMET provides, transaction timelines can be compressed and the processing of an open season is less cumbersome and more open than ever before.
"TruMarx offered us an online open season that let us turn our focus purely to the business of serving our customers. The COMET platform and team were incredible, and laid the groundwork that will make future transactions for our core customers even quicker, simpler and more accessible."
– Kay Atchison, Former Marketing Director, ENSTOR
From set-up to completion, COMET is easy to use, saving time and effort.
All counterparties were accessed and bids were returned through one standard method and portal.
Market Scope
Existing relationships were maintained and potential counterparties were added and exposed to ENSTOR's opportunities.
Regulation and Compliance
A comprehensive audit trail was created for all interactions on COMET.
Case Study #3
Big Retailer. Multiple Locations. One Solution.
A retail chain, with numerous stores across North America, was in search of automated solution to their natural gas and power procurement needs. With a desire to standardize their energy procurement process and gain new efficiencies, the robust yet intuitive COMET platform was the answer. Recognizing that retail buyers have unique purchasing needs, COMET incorporates features and functionality specifically tailored to those needs. By easily handling multiple site purchasing, uniform template-driven transactions as well as price and counterparty evaluation, COMET is meeting the needs of retailer energy managers.
Electronic Audit Trails and Straight Through Processing
Using COMET's electronic system, capturing and maintaining all transaction information is automatic. Since COMET captures all of the data around a transaction, including internal collaboration and approvals in a standard format, report generation for audit or regulatory compliance is readily accessible. Additionally, this transaction data can be seamlessly passed to other internal systems such as trade capture, risk, and other systems eliminating manual steps, errors, and the associated costs.
Finding and Rating Counterparties
COMET helped expand supplier options by providing access to more counterparties. With an impressive and growing subscriber list, it's easy to employ COMET's advanced filtering tools to identify new counterparties at specific market points and select them for their RFP. Additionally, to help in the selection process and in determining the right counterparty for a transaction, COMET provides a flexible and customizable ratings tool. Simply choose the criteria and rank counterparties. COMET calculates the overall rating that has been assigned and makes it readily available throughout the decision making process.
Retail Site Management
Since retail needs are site specific, COMET provides complete site management to streamline the purchasing process. Sites can be entered, grouped, and managed using the robust COMET Administrative module and they can be quickly recalled when originating transactions.
Pricing Clarity: Non-Energy Cost Breakouts
When soliciting bids from suppliers within COMET, the retailer can now also obtain a structured breakdown of non-energy costs for their transactions. This additional price transparency provides the retailer the valuable, and hereto for very difficult to obtain information they need to more effectively execute on their purchasing strategies.
Recent "full requirements" deals completed in the following markets:

Colour Fading in the Sun
The theory that explains why hair colour fades quickly is simple when you break it down. Water is (H²O) and peroxide is (H²O² oxygen doubled). So when wet hair is exposed to direct ultraviolet sunlight for an extended period of time, the water in your hair is converted into microscopic amounts of peroxide that cause colours to fade. Rich colours fade faster - a concept that most of us have experienced with coloured fabrics. The degree and amount of fading depends on the colours and their quality. That is why we recommend that you take precautions to protect your hair colour from the sun – for example, by wearing a hat at the beach, especially after you've been swimming.
Because curly hair is very porous, it is easy to deposit colour pigment into the hair. It is harder to maintain this rich colour as the hair cuticles are naturally in an open position. As we say, "when your hair is wet it is always shiny" because open cuticles are filled with moisture reflecting light.
Curly Hair Solutions® products have a pH level designed to maintain hair cuticles in a closed position without using silicones or heavy oils. Our Treatment Shampoo contains ingredients that strengthen hair, ensuring that the colour is maintained for a longer period of time. Strong hair is easier to moisturize and holds colour well, which is critical for curly hair.
The products in our Colour Treated Hair Kit will not only make your hair look and feel healthier but will also prolong your hair colour allowing for a deeper tone and shine. Continuous use before and after a colour application ensures longer lasting and richer colour.

Geography Department
Our aim:
That students would acquire an awareness and understanding of the processes involved in their physical, social and economic environment in relation to Ireland, Europe and the world. They also develop a range of practical, social, valuing and communication skills, which are of geographical and general significance.
Our objectives are that students should acquire knowledge, an understanding of concepts and develop skills and attitudes through the geography topics dealt with in class.

Literacy & Numeracy:
The department recognises the importance of the development of a print rich environment. Particular attentention is given to both written grammer and language used in class.
Teachers will try to ensure that the highest standards are maintained when using the white board or projector for notes, and that the students do likewise in their notes and exercise copies.
A word wall with key geographic terminology will be maintained in D2 and on the notice board at the E block concourse.
With regard to numeracy, the department will continue to promote numeracy throghout the curriculum where possible. Statistical analysis is a key part of modern geography and students at all levls have the opportunity to develop numeracy through the study of geography.

'Geography is the study of people and their relationship with their environment'
(Department of Education and Science syllabus).
The philosophy of the Geography Department is to assist students in coming to an understanding of this relationship in an interesting, challenging and rewarding way, where students are able to 'function more effectively as members of society'(syllabus).
The subject is taught and learned in an environment that is open, inclusive and supportive. A variety of teaching methodologies and resources are used to cater for the different ways in which a student learns. It is studied against the 'background of a world' (syllabus) that shows us:
_ Multi-cultural societies
_ Sharp social and economic inequalities
_ Increasing pace of socio-economic change
_ Declining environmental quality in many regions
The focus of study looks at local, national and international issues. We as a
department focus on the development of skills rather than on the retention of learning for learning sake. We work within the framework laid down by the syllabus. Our aim is to provide our students with the opportunities to develop their concepts, knowledge, skills and attitudes through the use of encouragement, assistance, opportunity, practice/ application, models, theories and principles. It is through this that we hope to develop a 'positive attitude towards themselves, others and their environment' so that they can achieve a 'sensitive awareness of the aesthetic quality of the natural and cultural environment' so that it will instil in them a 'desire to maintain this quality' (syllabus).
The learning outcomes as outlined in the syllabus centre on:
_ Knowledge and understanding of phenomena, processes, interaction,
principles, models, theories, issues and problems.
_ An ability to recall, use, select, interpret, represent, communicate, evaluate and apply.

BLUFFTON, SC (WTOC) - Eight birdies, no bogeys, and 23 putts. That's how Beaufort native Mark Anderson powered his way into a three shot lead after two rounds at this year's South Carolina Golf Association Amateur Championship.
The former Gamecock started just as strong in round three with a great approach followed by a birdie on the first hole. Anderson would go on to birdie holes 4, 7, 9, 12, and 13.
His only bogey of the day came on the 10th hole.
Headed into Sunday's final, Anderson holds a three shot lead over first round leader Josh Gallman at -14.

I don't write new work every day, but I'm constantly at work on my writing, no matter what type of writing it is–and it's mostly revision. An essential feature of my approach to writing is mental work and engagement. What I want to touch on today has to do with the routine or habit of writing, and in particular, writing fiction.
The Routine
Every writer eventually discovers a routine that works best for her, and people are fascinated with the writing habits of authors, as though these habits, if imitated, offer paths to achievement. The only routine a writer needs is the one that works for a writer. The romance of the writing life is a picturesque falsehood. If what you're doing isn't working, then change it.
When I wished to concentrate my writing on fiction, I found that it was much more difficult than merely sitting down everyday at a particular time and writing. I was not making time to write, or when I did, it was unproductive, and what I mean is that when I wrote, when I had the opportunity to devote significant time to the endeavor, the results did not meet my expectations. It is easier to appreciate literature and consume it by the acre than to create it. Before I could write well, I needed to lean more about the craft of writing fiction, and my habit of writing has become much more than the act of carefully arranging words.
Stephen King tells us in On Writing that "If you don't have time to read, you don't have time to write." Writers can learn a great deal about story and dramatic structure from watching television and film. Nevertheless, there exist writers who claim they do not read. But, from my experience as a writing consultant, professor, technical writer and editor, I've noticed that people who don't read struggle with comprehending and reproducing the elements of story that create compelling, (meaningful and unique—my preference for these additional qualifiers raises the bar somewhat) narratives. And, then there's incredulousness. I cannot comprehend the writer who does not care for reading. I'm calling bullshit on these writers. Reading about the craft of writing and reading fiction in its many manifestations, including graphic novels, improves your skill and refines your finesse. Part of any writer's habitual occupation should be to read: books, blogs, articles, literary journals, graphic novels, flash fiction, poetry, non-fiction, scientific journals, social media, film and television scripts, cereal boxes. You will not be able but to regard the world as text and read it. The downside, not so many surprises anymore.
Writing in community
Writers can only write in isolation for so long, and I think, should avoid it. Writers need readers, not an audience, especially critical readers. Whoever is willing to fulfill that role is a star. But, writers flourish among other writers and need some community. Cormac McCarthy has exchanged letters with other writers, and Thomas Pynchon communicates with others. It may not be you, but he talks to someone. Writers have many opportunities to meet other writers. Local bookstores, libraries, coffee houses and even houses of worship host writing groups. Writers can attend conferences and workshops in the actual world or online. There are online communities, like WanaTribe. The ultimate experience in writing community is the MFA program.
Revision is vital part of writing. I mentioned that an essential feature my own writing process is mental. While that process or background engagement is not revision, it is a similar process unlike the creative one that is all flow. A writer uses her technical expertise in what is both a delicate and brutal task—over and over. "Murder your little darlings" Arthur Quiller-Couch advises. I agree. Plan on it. Revision is nearly a blood bath. It's a killing floor filled with words, images, ideas, agonizing choices, mistakes and hope. But it is not a spree. It is efficient, objective, and ruthless." I am more interested in writers' advice on revision than how many hours a day they write.
The Professionalization of Writing
Few writers write only for the joy of writing fiction. Most of us plan some income from the effort. Branding and name recognition has become an urgent issue among published authors and emerging ones, especially with the opportunities that exist in independent digital publishing and diminishing contracts among traditional publishing houses in proportion to the increased number of writers seeking publication. But, more people are buying more books, physical and digital, than ever before. Writers, publishing houses, literary agents, editors, literary journals, graphic artists, and all imaginable support services utilize blogs and social media to create platforms for promotion and cross-pollinate to create stronger professional networks
So, I don't end up writing every day—yet, for others, it's an anchor for their sanity, or a simply, the way they practice their craft and get it done, and I honor that practice. I'm thinking about it, working out plots and developing character arcs in my head, reading books, short stories, books on crafts, various articles, internet sites, and blog posts; writing out character profiles, plot lines, jotting down notes on my phone; planning out blog posts, updating and interacting with other writers and friends on social media sites; researching literary journals, creating a submission calendar and updating submissions; researching data for my novel; attending workshops and book events; –and, of course, writing and revising. This is what most writers contend with these days, on top of a day job, along with a family. However you are doing it, Good Luck!

We have been LOVING some You Tube entertainment as a family! Janae got us hooked on Smelly Belly and Jay adores The Axel Show. They are so cute in their own ways and we recently got hooked on Dude Perfect from a blogger that I follow. It's totally fun and I think giving Tom new life goals. <insert eye roll>
So MOST week nights we love to jam to some music after we eat dinner. I usually clean up kitchen while Tom and kids go play, dance, wrestle, burn energy while we blare our favorite songs. I thought I'd share our current favorite songs!! Jay loves "rock n roll" a LOT...Janae is a sucker for a good dance beat because that girl can't stop moving and groovin....and I've been loving some 90's/older songs! Although Hair Up from Trolls has been one of my main favorites for a family jam!
But we love to play a good variety...new, old, ballads....everything. We have this portable speaker.. Tom had saved some best buy points at one point and got this for us a year or so ago and we have LOVED it. It can go anywhere.(even outside since its waterproof) with us as we decide to move from room to room! But if your family likes music I would totally earmark a product like this for a family Christmas gift! Its worth it!!
And finally I wanted to share some fun iPad apps!
from left to right-- Rolling Sky, Drawing Desk, Lego Junior, Dashy Crashy. We have been having a lot of fun with the kids on all these. We all enjoy all 4 of these. The rolling sky is hard for Jay but he is slowing getting better and better. The drawing app is so fun. As a fun little Mom thing...I love to draw something when they aren't around and then save it and make it their wallpaper on their iPad to surprise them. For Janae since we are working on reading I'll write her a note. For Jay I'll draw a cool truck or something. But I love seeing all the fun designs they come up with to. It has cute little stamp tools and such that you can use in that app. Its a fun one! Lego Juniors is such a fun little game that is right up Jay's alley. Janae enjoys it too from time to time but Jay loves when we hang out with him while he builds the vehicles and then does the course to unlock new people and trucks. Dashy Crashy is a little harder but it turned into an all afternoon family completion one Sunday. We all kept taking turns and then it turned into boys against girls It's been fun having the kids get old enough that we can all enjoy some of the same things!
So thats some of our family entertainment we have been indulging in this winter. I have to say we are SO READY for nicer weather though so we can turn off the TV and iPads and get outside on more bike rides and get FRESH AIR!! But if you are in any sort of winter slump all this stuff is pretty family and age friendly that I shared!!
Sadie and I face swapped the other week and I'm so happy with this...Tom HATES it.... but I think this is like pure GOLD. Please...if you are not already using an app that face swaps...DO IT. Its the best. I used MSQRD app.

I don't know about you, but I like listening to music when I relax. That includes time in the pool or spa. The MS2013BT stereo by Jensen Marine Direct allows you to listen to and control your music from the water.
It features a modern design and can even hook up to your phone via Bluetooth!
It has a solid top chassis, is made of UV resistant materials, and has a corrosion resistant finish. That makes it ideal for watery environments!
Other features of the MS2013BT include:
- IPX5 waterproof rater
- AM/Fm radio capabilities
- Low battery warning
- Auxiliary input
- USB input
Any stereo with Bluetooth input is awesome in my book. I even have a bluetooth speaker for my shower! To find out more about the MS2013BT Stereo, contact the pros at PoguePoolSpa.com.


text: The main aim of this project was to design a cheap and flexible structure that could serve as a multifunctional public infrastructure. Therefore to attracts people in various age a specific functional program was invented. Open public laundry that connects with urban landscape of the adjacent square is supplemented with a sport field, placed on the second floor. The building was design to be easily constructed from only one repetitive module. To prevent from the monotony of the final outcome, that would be in opposition to the organic, local architecture, a quaquaversal non-periodic 3d space tiling was utilized to build the structure.

CNET First Look
Vertex 3 from OCZthe OCZ Vertex 3 SSD makes an ideal internal storage drive for laptops and desktop computers, especially those that support the 6Gbps SATA standard. Its hefty price tag will make most consumers think twice, however.
-Hello. My name is Dong Ngo and, today, we'll check out another solid-state drive or SSD. This is the Vertex 3 from OCZ, one of the few on the market that supports the SATA 6-gigabyte-per-second standard. This is an internal drive that, like many hard drive, use inside laptop computers. The difference is it's really fast compared to hard drives and even when compared to other solid-state drive. This is because most other solid-state drives only support SATA 3 gigabytes per second. The Vertex 3 comes in a standard 2.5-inch design and, therefore, fit in any application where regular hard drive of the same design would be used. It also comes with a bay converter to take the place of a 3.5-inch hard drive. This means it can also be used in a desktop computer. In our testing, the drive really excelled and dramatically increased the performance of any computer it is used with. Like all other SSD, the Vertex 3 has no moving part and, therefore, it uses less energy, is quiet, and more durable. It's a perfect replacement drive for any computers especially those that have a built-in support for the SATA 6-gigabyte-per-second standard. So, what's the catch? The price. This drive here offers just 240 gigabytes and it costs around $500. In this case, you really get what you pay for or maybe you really paid for what get is more like it. For more information, check out the full review at CNET.com. Once again, my name is Dong Ngo and this has been the first look at the Vertex 3 solid-state drive from OCZ.

TEL AVIV – Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren denounced the boycott movement and said she is a "believer" in Israel while visiting Jerusalem.
Mirren, who is in Israel to host the Genesis Prize, said she was against efforts by pro-Palestinian advocates to boycott Israeli artists as well as those artists who have themselves boycotted the Jewish state.
The actress also spoke of her "strong connection" to Israel. She first became acquainted with the country she sees as "extraordinary" in the 1960s when she volunteered on a kibbutz.
The Genesis Prize, known as the Jewish Nobel, is a $1 million award that was bestowed this year to Israeli-American violinist Itzhak Perlman in recognition of his accomplishments as a musician and advocate for the disabled.
The actress herself was recognized by Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat, who cited her "contributions to society and for the inspiration she brings to millions of people around the world."
"Helen Mirren is a symbol of status and unprecedented artistic success serving as an inspiration to millions around the world," Barkat said at the Genesis Prize ceremony.
Mirren is one of the rare actors to have earned the Triple Crown title, garnering three of the acting world's most eminent awards: an Oscar, Tony and Emmy.

Apple, Google to Team Up on Co-Branded Handheld Device?
You've got to love the street chatter percolating from this year's Morgan Stanley Technology Conference. My favorite beme is about a possible Apple-Google hook-up, either on a version of the iPhone or on something else co-branded by the two sexy titans.
It is one reasonable way to read the chai leaves on comments made Monday by Google chief executive, Eric Schmidt. While again denying rumors of Apple-Google merger talks (he doth protest too much?), he revealed a few tidbits that left many doing the new math. We know this: Schmidt is of course now on the Apple board of directors. We know that Google is attempting to work out an accord on video feeds to Apple's new iPhone. We know that Google (perhaps Cisco's largest customer) intervened on behalf of Apple in resolving the iPhone trademark dispute. And on Monday, when Schmidt was asked whether Google and Apple would be competing in the handheld Internet space–as heretofore widely speculated–he left the crowd with these comments:
"I don't want to comment on rumors," he said, then added: "I will tell you that Google and Apple are doing more and more things together through the normal course of communications … We have similar goals and similar competitors."
Everyone I have talked to believes the implications are clear: expect that something along the lines of a Gphone or a Google-powered iDevice from Apple is in the works. No word from the infinite loop gang, but I am working on it.

Chetana Women's group is one of the exemplary women's groups of FEDO. The group that was formed in November, 2012 and has been actively participating in government led need identification meeting (for development intervention). The group has been successful in securing budget for Dalit women specific needs in the locality of the current fiscal year.
Although the group is only a month old, led by an active Dalit woman activist, Sumitra Sob, it has been able to secure funds for income generating activities from the Village Development Committee (VDC). Sob, apart from being the chairperson of the group is affiliated with various other local governance structures, such as school management committee, paralegal committee. Even before formation of the current women's group, she had single handedly managed to obtain budget from the VDC office. The budget was used to conduct legal aid training for Dalit women; focusing on violence against women and untouchability. At present, this dynamic female is leading the women's group in Malakheti and has been a role for entire members.
This 25 member group, with the direction of a leader such as Sob and with the help of FEDO conducted a meeting so as to identify the needs of Dalit women in the locality. This assessment was carried out before the VDC council. (VDC council is a meeting conducted by Government of Nepal every year in between Dec and Jan to identify the development needs of the locality). From the meeting, the group identified the major areas of interventions. These findings were shared in the VDC council meeting. As the need of Dalit community was pre-thought, the group could present it effectively and hence their proposal was prioritized in the VDC council. As a result of which, the proposal of the group has been accepted and an amount of NRs. One hundred 20 thousand, equivalent to 100 Euro was allocated for the group to conduct community awareness program focusing on Dalit community.
Similarly, with the help of FEDO, the group has prepared a proposal for the next fiscal year. The proposal is about income generation activities (tailoring) for Dalit women. As the women's group has the dual role of community activism, and saving and credit, the group has proposed to make financial contribution from the savings they have made. Such proactive involvement has been appreciated by the VDC officials.

Ryeowook Proves He Is an "All-Around Entertainer" in Hilarious Viral Video
Super Junior's Ryeowook recently appeared in a self-introduction video that takes summarizing his 10-year career to an entirely different level.
In the video titled "I am Ryeowook," the singer starts off with a typical introduction, giving his full name and date of birth — even going as far showing a few childhood pictures. Then the video takes a turn for the weird as Ryeowook starts to detail some of the highlights his career.
Meanwhile, Ryeowook recently completed the first week of his solo debut with "The Little Prince," which dropped on January 28. His solo concert, "Everlasting Star," will be held from February 19 through the 21 at the SMTOWN COEX Artium in Gangnam.
Watch Ryeowook's hilarious video below! (English captions are available.)

*An earlier version of the article incorrectly stated that Ryeowook's album dropped on December 28 and has been updated for accuracy.

Why Are None Of My Berlin Friends Dating Each Other???? An Investigation
I don't like to boast but OK yes I do: I know a lot of people in this city. Specifically, a whole lot of singles in Berlin. Hot heteros, homo honeys and every sort of human in between. Now that we've officially reached the year's horniest season, I have to ask this Haupstadt full of unattached types one question: why are none of my Berlin friends dating each other?
For example, my friend K. K is hot but a little bit scary. You could imagine having sex and then her saying something quietly devastating to you, like, "Well, that wasn't the worst sex I've ever had" and then laughing with gusto. Her intonation would lead you to conclude that this was not a compliment because mediocre sex doesn't even provide good dinner party-conversation fodder. But still. As an emotional masochist, I'm drawn to people who make me turned on/nervous and maybe you are too. Why are none of my friends dating K?
Then there's C. C has the cultured nervousness of a very expensive thoroughbred horse. He is the perfect antidote to Berlin's surplus of chill bros. I can see the appeal of eating ice cream in his bed and him freaking out about you dripping Ben & Jerrys on his nice sheets.
I'm devastated to reveal to you that no, none of my friends are dating C.
J. is quietly beautiful and has good cheekbones and can construct furniture from scratch. She has nice vibes. She is, for example, someone I would like to go sailing with (not a metaphor!!!!!). She is a catch. And yet, she is not dating any of my friends. None of my friends are dating J.
If you're wondering if I've ever tried to remedy this tragic situation with some low-key matchmaking, then is the Pope Catholic? So far all my attempts have ended in nothing/tragedy. It's hard to say which is worse. The one couple I successfully matchmade seemed locked together by a slow-burn mutual hate/lust and I felt like I may have destroyed their lives until their merciful breakup. It was very Edward Albee, minus the snappy dialogue.
Recently I tried to set up a friend who looks a little like Dan from Gossip Girl with another friend who seemed like a perfect fit and they barely even registered on each other's radars. They didn't even seem to dislike each other — they just seemed indifferent, rotating around each other, remote and detached as planets. I had to clasp my hands behind my back to stop myself from pushing their heads together like when you made Barbie and Ken kiss as a kid.
On popular TV shows like The OC, How I Met Your Mother, Friends and Dear White People, the characters date each other's buddies like it's no big deal.
These series have led me to believe that it is not, in fact, impossible, for one of my friends to nurse feelings for another one of my friends and for these building emotions to lead to a functioning relationship or at the very least, sex. This feels fanciful, since mine won't even smooch after beers.
Friends. Why.
Not to go all Carrie Bradshaw on this party, but I suspect the problem is that we, as a city, have fallen victim to the idea that love is dead here. That if you want a meaningful connection, you need to date beyond the Berlin/Brandenburg borders. Sure, like yours truly, who is with someone in another city and not just for the zen-benefits of lengthy Flixbus rides.
One friend, for example, recently broke up with his long-distance German girlfriend and since then has started easing into a relationship with a girl in Russia. How do you ease into a relationship when the other person is in Russia???? That is not a question I can answer but maybe he'll do a Q&A sometime.
Further theories I've developed include the not-that-convincing "Since Tinder Exists, Why Hit On A Pal?"; the unsettling "I've Got Reverse Body Dysmorphia But Only Applied To Hot Friends" and my current favourite "They HAVE Made Out, Just Not In Front Of Me."
Anyway. If you have any further ideas, let me know.

"The Horrors of the White House"
The importance of showing this film is to show that what the State of Florida, the FDLE, Troy Tidwell, Lenox Williams, Arthur Dozier and others described as
"spankings" where "no boys ever received more than 15 "gentle licks" as if delivered by a loving parent, were in fact brutal whippings with a leather whip (flogging)
banned by Governor Hardee in 1922 as "too brutal for even the most hardened convict." Tidwell swore under oath he never "raised the whip over his head." We
refute this monstrous lie. This film will be shown to the Florida legislature in the upcoming senate hearing, introduced by Senator Arthenia Joyner (D-Tampa), and
Senator Mike Fasano (R-Port Richey) for the relief of over 300 men who suffered horrific abuse at the Dozier/Florida School For Boys in Marianna, Florida. The story
of the Dozier / Florida School For Boys was reported on CNN, ATI, Miami Herald, Florida Times Union, API, WMBB, Tampa Bay Times, and other TV and
Newspapers too numerous to mention.
This film will be presented to the legislature by the representing attorneys. The fact is, this type of abuse and deaths are going on behind closed doors every day.
The church "camps" which are all over the nation, are beyond any type of regulatory inspection as they are on privately owned property. Wilderness "retreats and
camps" are in every state, controlled by church or privately run corporations. Facilities for mentally challenged juveniles are understaffed and those who are staff
members have little or no training, including emergency medical. The brutality in this film is no exaggeration, as proven by the number of children dying by beatings,
rough "take downs," restraints and lack of medical attention. When Judge Adams beat his daughter with a belt and she posted it on YouTube, it went viral, people
were outraged, some wanted to kill the man. As shocking as it was, it was mild compared to what the boys in Dozer received and their counterparts, at this very
moment, are suffering behind a pretty facade and closed doors. Most of the boys at Dozier described the grounds as "beautiful" when they first arrived. It was, from
it's inception in 1900 to its closure in 2011, a Beautiful Hell. Showing this film may arouse a fury in people to press harder on the subject of institutional abuse. These
terrible abuses must stop and will only stop when the abusers are held accountable and prosecuted. Then, and only then, can Florida step out of the darkness of its
criminal acts against children and hopefully, some day, become an example of justice and mercy for those who deserve compassion.........OUR YOUTH.
This short film depicts what really took place inside the "whitehouse" torture room at the Florida School For Boys aka The Dozier School For Boys in Marianna,
Florida. The United States Justice Department, in its report dated December 1, 2011, refuted the FDLE's whitewash of the abuse and violence that occurred within
and Troy Tidwell's monstrous lie that he "never raised the whip over his head" and no boy ever received more than "15 gentle "licks" for the most serious offense. He
said this under oath but will not submit to a polygraph test. The DOJ Department of Civil Rights Division issued a scathing report confirming the abuse at Dozier and
sent a warning to Governor Scott that the letter was "serving them notice" on the abuse that is still going on. The DJJ quickly closed two abusive facilities and fired
supervisors and staff at the facility where an 18-year-old died in West Palm Beach lockup when he became ill and psychotic. Prior to the DOJ warning they were not
concerned of the abuse they knew existed, but now, they are concerned about their jobs. The closing of Dozier and the DOJ intervention changed the climate of
abuse in institutions all across Florida.
Disclaimer for The Horrors of the White House
This film is a depiction of what took place when a boy at FSB was whipped in the punishment room at the "white house" building. Whereas nothing or no one person
could accurately capture the fear and horror that these 11-14 yr old boys were subjected to as they awaited their turn, hearing the groans, screams, cries and
pleadings of their peers, the act of the beatings (floggings) are filmed in exact detail. The FDLE, Troy Tidwell, Lenox Williams and Aurthur G. Dozier referred to them
as "Spankings" and claimed that no boy ever received over 15 "gentle licks." Tidwell swore under oath he never "raised the whip over his head." We refute this
monstrous lie with numerous historical data, government officials and workers at the FSB institution who witnessed these beatings and described them as "sickening,
barbaric, brutal, repulsive and criminal in nature." Witnessed by: O.J. Keller, Audie Langston, Dr. Eugene Byrd, Senate President Louis de LaParte, Governor
Claude Kirk, Jack Levine, Chaplin Andrew Bowers, employee Jim Morris and 300+ men who were child inmates and will attest to the severity of these beatings. All are
willing to submit to a polygraph test on the beatings.
Four Examples From Witnesses:
Audie E. Langston said in a short interview: "It was not a good thing. The people who were doing it thought they needed that method of control." Back then, Langston
wrote a letter to his boss, O.J. Keller. He called what he saw "sickening."
"A young boy [was] taken into a stark, bare, dimly lit room where he was compelled to lie on a small cot and receive licks with a heavy leather strap. The strap was
wielded by a man who was at least six foot 3 inches tall and weighed well over 200 pounds. His swing could be likened to a strong tennis serve as with a whip like
effect at the end of the downswing. The results are sickening. The child quivers and writhes in a contorted manner from the pain of a sadistic treatment. Not only
repulsive but somewhat criminal in nature." The letter, which Keller made public, spurred a push to ban corporal punishment.
Andrew Bowers, a chaplain at the Dozier School from 1959 to 1963, recalls: For most of its history, Dozier freely practiced flogging as a method of discipline, or as a
matter of whim. Mr. Bowers remembers, "they would spank the boys when they did wrong or really whenever they wanted to. Many beatings were administered with
a "weighted leather flogging strap."
Dr. Wexler is dead, but his daughter remembers helping her father, who had poor eyesight, when her family lived on campus. Sheila Wexler says she occasionally
treated boys who had cuts or welts on their behind. "But if they needed a stitch," she says, "It would only be a few."
Dr. Eugene Byrd, a psychologist, that in a one-day hearing of the US Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in Washington, testified that he witnessed a beating,
and when asked what his opinion was of the beating, said: "In my opinion, it is brutality."
