Eating disorders affect the self image and self esteem of individuals they became socially isolated and remain busy in planning about how to lose weight. To avoid negative comments from family, friends and society consequently, in order to improve their body and self image, individuals resort to strict dieting. Eating disorders thus arise, where an individual tries to cut down on food to fill the perception gap or feed their feelings by consuming a lot of food.
Lack of knowledge about eating disorder is a dilemma and that makes it worst as people don’t want to talk about their issues specially related with body shape and body image. In Pakistan only few professionals are dealing with eating disorders Rainbow Obesity and Eating Disorder Centre Lahore is the first eating disorder centre in Pakistan providing the assessment, diagnostic, and treatment services for eating disorders.

NEW YORK– Even before they can read, children as young as three years of age can understand how a written word is different than a simple drawing, and the ability to make this distinction could signal if your toddler is ready to learn to read, a new study has found.
Most children do not begin formal instruction in reading and writing until they turn five and enter kindergarten, but these findings suggest that children as young as three may be tested to see how well their understanding of basic language concepts is progressing.
“Our results show that children have some knowledge about the fundamental properties of writing from a surprisingly early age,” said study co-author Rebecca Treiman from Washington University in St. Louis in the US.
“Based on the results, it may be possible to determine at an early age, which children are progressing well in the learning of emergent literacy skills and which children may need extra attention,” Treiman added.
The study was based on two experiments with 114 children ages three to five years who had not yet received any formal instruction in reading or writing.
The children were tested to see how well they understood that a written word, such as dog, has one specific pronunciation (“dog”) as compared with a simple drawing of a dog, which could be correctly labeled as the image of a dog, a puppy or even a pet named Spot.
In the first test, researchers read the written word “dog” to the children.
Later, when a puppet employed in the experiment and read the word “dog” as “puppy,” many children picked up on the mistake.
In a similar task with drawings, children were more likely to say that the puppet was correct in using the alternative label.
The different results in the writing and drawing conditions indicated that even young pre-readers have some understanding that a written word stands for one specific linguistic unit in a way that a drawing does not.
The study was published in the journal Child Development.

Hasan pulled himself up from over the slain great cat. He waited to catch his breath, then said, “My new companions, we have traveled far together in this deep. It is clear we are now coming to where we must end our journey. For me, I must end it now, in either success or death. For you, no such urgency is at stake.”
The Siswa elf saw the exagerated eyerolls Feldard and Nicolai exchanged. Nonetheless, Hasan continued, “Hear me out. As we face the sisters or their accursed successors, we cannot prevail if we cannot count on one another. Nobody who leaves now would face my scorn, for we will face a terrible foe. But for those who will join me in opening that door,” Hasan gestured as dramatically as he could, this role was really growing on him, “for whatever reason, be it glory, justice or mere curiosity, must pact with me to not turn back from what we face, or we shall sink faster than a skiff with a rotted plank. Come now! Let’s go.”
The elf spun toward the door, armed with his pathetic blades, an enchanted ring and torque, and a firmly set jaw.
For a moment, the dwarf considered making mockery of the elfs attempt at a stirring speech, but something of the mans’ firmly set jaw gave him pause. Instead, Feldard thumped the handle of his axe on the floor three times. “I’m in.”
Maruc slapped Hasan oh the shoulder in a comradely fashion. “Halav has guided us to you, doubt not His wisdom. We are chosen for this purpose, have faith in your friends we will stand at your side.Or possibly right behind you in some cases.” He turned a winked good naturedly at Nicolai and Miklos.
Nicolai squinted and rubbed his eyes. The elf’s words chimed not at all with him. He was still trying to work out what the point of all this was. Noble, yes but … he guessed it was the thrill of the unknown that drove him. That and trying to stop these people from committing suicide. Talking of that he checked the door.
Satisfied the door was safer than what lay beyond Nicolai stepped aside and allowed the others to continue.
The priest backed out of the way and allowed Hasan and Feldard to breach the door. He braced himself behind his shield half expecting some blast of sorcery. Miklos filed his wand away and waited to counter what magic the witch might through at them.
On the other side of the double doors was a 20-foot square room bathed in soft golden light. Glowing 15-foot wide silver arches opened through the north and south walls. A pair of steel doors, carved with more elven decorative woodland patterns, stood across from them in the center of the west wall.
Beyond the north arch lied what must be thousands and thousands of gold pieces, giant gemstones and ornate jewelry, all overflowing from exquisitely carved chests. A glowing domed sealing sent reflective light bouncing off the polished marble floor and treasure horde.
The room through the south arch was identical to the north, but it is empty.
As Nicolai surveyed the room for any threats, he noticed some Elven writing above the northern arch.

(November 27, 2019). It all started with $800 and a dream. With a loan from his family, Berry Gordy launched his first label, Tamla Records, in January 1959.
Tamla would soon lead to Motown and the rest, as they say, is history.
This week Berry Gordy turns 90 years old (Nov. 28), and DJROBBLOG is celebrating the American icon with a special list of Motown’s 12 greatest moments under his time as the label’s owner, CEO and president.
Given Motown’s undeniable legacy – not to mention its many contributions to music and to American society in general during the turbulent 1960s and beyond, it’s pretty hard to narrow Gordy’s and Motown’s greatest achievements down to a list of twelve. And this blogger realizes that any such list is likely to leave a few equally as important milestones on the chopping block.
That said, I believe you’ll agree it would be pretty hard to top many of the milestones the blog has chosen to represent Gordy’s and Motown’s finest.
After Tamla Records was established as the first in Motown’s independent family of labels in 1959, the company grew to include major subsidiaries like Gordy, Soul, V.I.P., Rare Earth, and, of course, the famous blue-and-white Motown imprint itself.
The different subsidiary labels no longer exist (they were mostly folded into Motown when Gordy sold the label to MCA in 1988), but the namesake label is still active and has gone on to prosper post-Gordy with a roster of hit-making artists including ‘90s superstars Boyz II Men and more current acts like R&B singer/songwriter Ne-yo and the most recent chart-topping example, the Atlanta rap act Migos.
However, Motown is no longer the musical force it once was, nor is it independent. Today the label is owned and distributed by Universal Music Group, which acquired Polygram – the label to which MCA transferred its Motown ownership in the 1990s.
Still, what Gordy accomplished during his tenure is the stuff of dreams. Before his vision became a reality, no one could have imagined that a young, black, high school drop-out and former professional boxer would achieve the heights that the Detroit native did – not only musically, but as a black businessman during the racially turbulent 1950s and ‘60s.
What he accomplished in just Motown’s first decade alone is the true embodiment of the American dream, and I know this blogger’s love for music would not have been the same without Gordy and the amazing artists he brought to the world.
This year, Motown has been celebrating its 60th anniversary, including a special Grammys tribute last winter, and a benefit held in Detroit earlier this fall to both honor Gordy and commemorate the planned expansion of the famous Motown Museum at the address on West Grand Blvd where many of the label’s earliest hits were recorded.
To cap his extraordinary career, Gordy announced his well-deserved retirement from the entertainment business after more than six decades of contributions to American film, television and, of course, music.
So with this triple tribute to commemorate Berry Gordy’s 90th birthday, his retirement, and Motown’s 60th anniversary, here are what DJROBBLOG considers Motown’s 12 greatest moments during the Gordy era — from 1959 to 1988 — in chronological order from earliest to latest…
One. Motown starts and hits with “Money” by Barrett Strong (1959).
The Motown Records building is established at 2648 West Grand Boulevard in Detroit, MI; it is now home to the Motown Museum. Tamla Records – Motown’s first label – is established the same year. The song “Come to Me” by Marv Johnson (catalog no. Tamla 101) was the first record released by the label in January ‘59.
But Barrett Strong’s “Money (That’s What I Want)” is the label’s first true hit. The song would reach the national charts – thanks to a distribution deal with Anna Records (through the Chicago-based label Chess Records). “Money” is still considered Motown’s earliest classic and has been covered by dozens of artists since then.
Two. Smokey Robinson/Miracles achieve the label’s first million-selling single (1960).
In Tamla’s second year, future label VP Smokey Robinson with his group The Miracles scored Motown’s first million-seller with “Shop Around,” and Motown was off and running. The song was co-written by Robinson and Gordy and would top the R&B chart and the Cashbox pop chart. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Smokey would go on to either write or record dozens of other major hits for the label, including pop or soul chart-toppers like “The Tears of a Clown,” “I Second That Emotion” and his biggest solo hit “Being With You.” Smokey was among the first Motown artists to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the Supremes in 1987.
Three. Motown’s gets its first No. 1 with “Please Mr. Postman.” (1961)
Only three years into its existence, Motown achieves its first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper with this upbeat dance classic by the Marvelettes (although the Miracles had topped the pop chart in rival trade magazine Cashbox a year earlier).
The Marvelettes would eventually be overshadowed by the Supremes, but “Please Mr. Postman” was historic in its own right. A remake of the song by the Carpenters would top the chart 13 years later (February 1975), making it the first Motown song to top the Billboard pop chart twice (“You Keep Me Hangin’ On” would be the second years later).
Four. Holland-Dozier-Holland begin creating a slew of hits for Motown Records (1962-67).
Motown may be one of the few record labels to be almost as well known for its songwriting and production teams as it was for its recording artists. Who among the Motown faithful don’t know famous names like Ashford & Simpson, Norman Whitfield and Henry Cosby…not to mention Gordy himself.
But the songwriting and production team that was arguably the label’s most important was Holland-Dozier-Holland, consisting of brothers Brian and Eddie Holland, and their partner Lamont Dozier. Between them, they wrote and/or produced dozens of top ten pop and soul classics, including 12 No. 1 songs on the Hot 100.
A legal dispute resulted in H-D-H leaving Motown in 1967 and creating their own labels and production companies, but their music helped define the Motown sound and left an indelible mark on the label’s legacy and on American music.
Five. Supremes break records with 12 No. 1s and knock down barriers for black women in pop music (1964-69).
Although they hailed from Detroit’s Brewster-Douglass public housing projects, the Supremes – through Motown’s meticulous honing and charm schools – became the epitome of elegance and sophistication and arguably paved the way for many black artists – especially females – to enjoy mainstream success.
To this day, the Supremes, originally consisting of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and the late Florence Ballard, still hold the record for most No. 1 singles by any group besides the Beatles, with twelve.
In 1987, The Supremes joined Smokey Robinson as Motown’s first acts to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and were the first girl group to do so. Fifty years after Diana Ross left to go solo (and 43 years after their ultimate breakup), the Supremes’ chart success still hasn’t been matched by any other female group.
Six. Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder combine with the Temptations and Supremes to dominate the pop charts in 1968/69.
Arguably Motown’s hottest acts in 1968, Gaye, Wonder, the Supremes and the Temps owned half of the pop top ten for several weeks from December 1968 to January ‘69.
The five songs involved were “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (Gaye); “Love Child” (Diana Ross & the Supremes); “For Once in My Life” (Wonder); “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” (Ross/Supremes & Temptations) and the Norman Whitfield-produced “Cloud Nine” (Temptations). “Cloud Nine” – ironically the lowest peaking of the five singles at No. 6 – became Motown’s first to win a Grammy award in 1970 (for R&B performance by a duo or group).
The Temps would go on to win four more Grammys plus two songs that were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame (“Papa Was A Rolling Stone” and “My Girl”).
Seven. Jackson 5 explode onto the scene and make history with four straight No. 1s to start career (1970).
Not resting on his 1960s laurels, Gordy signed the family act of five brothers from Gary, Indiana – Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Michael – to usher Motown into the 1970s. The Jacksons returned the favor with hit after hit, including four No. 1s to kick things off: “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” “The Love You Save” and “I’ll Be There.”
But not being content to merely follow in the footsteps of their ‘60s Motown forefathers the Temps, Miracles and Four Tops, the J-5 took their successes even further by getting their own TV cartoon and later their own family variety show, where the world was introduced to three sisters Rebbie, La Toya and Janet, plus little brother Randy who would later replace Jermaine in the group when they left Motown for Epic Records in 1976.
Both on and after Motown, the Jacksons would go on to become the most accomplished family in pop music history, with Michael leading the way.
Eight. Marvin Gaye releases the revolutionary album What’s Going On (1971).
Social commentary wasn’t Motown’s thing during the 1960s, and it certainly wasn’t Marvin Gaye’s – their top male solo artist at the time. However, after experiencing personal loss with the death of his duet partner Tammi Terrell, plus hearing accounts of his brother Frank’s experiences during his Vietnam War deployment – not to mention police brutality against war protesters occurring here in the states – Marvin felt his love songs were not relevant at the time.
Gordy famously rejected the idea initially, but Gaye fought to have What’s Going On released as his eleventh album in May 1971 and the rest is history. The landmark album was Gaye’s deepest personal statement and went on to generate three top ten pop and No. 1 R&B singles – becoming the first by a male solo artist to do so.
It’s since sold millions of copies on various formats and is regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time by many notable industry critics and trade magazines.
Nine. Motown ventures into cinema; produces the Oscar-nominated Lady Sings the Blues, the comedy Bingo Long, and the musical The Wiz – among others (1972-78).
Motown Productions was created as a film company for Berry Gordy’s label in the late 1960s, but it was originally focused on TV specials like the joint ventures by the Supremes and Temptations or the Jackson 5’s cartoon. It wasn’t until the 1972 Billie Holliday biopic Lady Sings the Blues featuring Oscar-nominated Diana Ross in the lead role that Motown movies became a thing. Blues received five Oscar noms in all, including Ross for Best Actress, and would be followed by another Ross vehicle – 1975’s Mahogany – whose soundtrack produced a No. 1 pop hit in its title theme.
Motown Productions would follow that with its most successful box office film, The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars & Motor Kings (1976), starring Richard Pryor, plus a joint venture with Casablanca FilmWorks – Thank God It’s Friday – which included a No. 1 R&B hit by Motown act the Commodores (“Too Hot Ta Trot”) and later the film adaption of the Broadway musical The Wiz – also starring Diana Ross as Dorothy and ex-Motown star Michael Jackson as Scarecrow.
Motown Productions, which produced ten feature films under that name, was headed by Suzanne de Passe who later founded successor company de Passe Entertainment.
Ten. Stevie Wonder gets his artistic freedom – and creates a string of classic albums in the 1970s (1971-76).
It started in 1971 with Where I’m Coming From – Wonder’s first socially conscious album – and culminated with the landmark masterpiece Songs In The Key Of Life (1976), the first LP by an American artist to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard album charts (Britain’s Elton John was the first overall).
For the first time in his career, Wonder had full creative control on all his albums. Accordingly, he wrote, produced and played most of the instruments on every album beginning with Music of My Mind and continuing with Talking Book, Innervisions and Fulfillingness’ First Finale. Finale and Songs were both No. 1 LPs on the pop and soul charts, Stevie’s only albums to top both lists. Those two, along with Innervisions, won Wonder Grammys for Album of the Year – the only artist ever to do that with three consecutive releases.
While the musical genius would continue releasing huge hit albums for Motown beyond Songs, including Hotter Than July, In Square Circle, and soundtracks for The Woman in Red and Jungle Fever – along with the under-appreciated Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants – Wonder’s classic album period (Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Songs in the Key of Life) will always be considered Motown’s best in album achievement – commercially and critically.
Eleven. Rick James brings Motown into a new era with his punk funk sound (1978).
When the future King of Punk Funk Rick James released his debut single “You and I” on the Gordy subsidiary in 1978, the R&B and pop worlds – which were both immersed in a sea of disco and yacht rock – didn’t know what hit them. It was as bold a move for Motown as had been their own (late) foray into disco a few years earlier with songs by Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.
James straddled the line between safe and inappropriate with his brash lyrics and thinly veiled references to sex and drugs, and fans ate it up. “You and I” would hit No. 1 R&B and top-20 pop, followed by “Mary Jane,” which just missed the pop top 40 (No. 41) but peaked at No. 3 R&B. His landmark LP Street Songs was Motown’s biggest album of 1981 and included the top-40 singles “Give It To Me Baby” and “Super Freak,” along with the classic duet ballad “Fire & Desire,” with Teena Marie.
James used his star power to introduce the world to Motown protégés Teena Marie and the Mary Jane Girls, who went on to have big hits in their own right – mostly under James’ creative wing. James died in 2005.
Twelve. Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever TV Special (1983).
Nearly all of Motown’s surviving superstars – past and present – turned out for a made-for-TV celebration of the label’s first quarter-century. Most notable among the performances were Michael Jackson’s reunion with his brothers, including Jermaine; Diana Ross’ reunion with the Supremes; and the Temptations and Four Tops in an old-school Motortown Review “battle of the bands.”
Jackson’s performance of post-Motown hit “Billie Jean,” which included his famous moonwalk dance, propelled the album Thriller to even faster sales than it was already achieving, helping Jackson to become the biggest music star in the world at the time.
While Jackson may have been the biggest star onstage, more important was the Motown legacy and the fact that stars past and present from Smokey Robinson/the Miracles to Martha Reeves, and from Marvin Gaye to the Commodores graced the stage for what was a true celebration of Gordy’s dream. Never before had their been such a celebration of black music history and the businessman who made it all possible.
Motown’s list of accomplishments seems endless, and we could have easily included these chart milestones in the list of twelve above:
Gladys Knight & the Pips scores the first of three No. 1 versions of “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” (1968). Having recorded for many labels throughout their legendary career, Gladys Knight & the Pips were Motown stopovers from the mid-1960s to the early-1970s. During that time they recorded one of the label’s most iconic songs. “Grapevine” topped the soul chart and peaked at No. 2 pop in late 1967. More notably, the song would become a No. 1 smash on both charts by Marvin Gaye a year later. A recording by ‘80’s funk legend Roger Troutman of Zapp would top the soul chart again in 1981, making “Grapevine” the only song ever to do that in three different versions. Another version by Creedence Clearwater Revival is also considered by many to be a classic.
Tamla Records re-establishes itself as Motown’s premier label with four No. 1 pop singles in 1977 (the entirety of Motown’s No. 1 singles that year). The four No. 1 classics include two by Wonder (“I Wish” and “Sir Duke”), the disco smash “Don’t Leave Me This Way” by Thelma Houston, and Marvin Gaye’s iconic “Got to Give It Up.”
Diana Ross becomes first female to get six No. 1s with “Endless Love” (1981). At the time, female artists still weren’t achieving No. 1s at the rate their male counterparts were. In two of the years – 1970 and 1976 – Ross was the ONLY woman to get a No. 1 hit, including two in ‘76. Ross, who had already set records with the Supremes (12 No. 1s), would add six more after leaving the group – giving her a total of 18. Capping her run was “Endless Love,” the duet with Lionel Richie that spent nine weeks at No. 1 in ‘81 and sold two million copies, making it Motown’s biggest hit at the time. Ross’s 18 total No. 1s rank her behind only the four Beatles and Elvis Presley. Mariah Carey tied Ross’s mark in 2008.
Lionel Richie pens No. 1 hit for ninth consecutive year (1986). Beginning with 1978’s “Three Times a Lady” by the Commodores and ending with “Say You, Say Me,” which finished its 4-week No. 1 run in January 1986, at least one of Richie’s compositions occupied the No. 1 spot in nine consecutive years, with seven of them on the Motown label. He also spends an entire year (1984) in top ten with one album (Can’t Slow Down) – becoming the first artist to do so. By a quirk of the calendar, Michael Jackson’s Thriller just missed accomplishing the same feat a year earlier when Thriller entered the top ten on the chart dated a January 8, 1983 (after being at No. 11 on the Jan. 1 list).
Of course, the golden age of Motown came to its official end when Berry Gordy, who started Motown by using an $800 loan from his family’s co-operative, sold the label to MCA for $61M in 1988.
But the Motown name would carry on and continue to be synonymous with hit records. Consider the following post-1988 milestones associated with the label:
- Boyz II Men carry Motown into 1990s; break chart records (1992-96)
- Motown Productions continues its stellar work with made-for-TV movies about its two biggest male singing groups the Temptations (The Temptations, 1998) and the Jackson 5 (The Jacksons: An American Dream, 1992)
- Standing in the Shadows of Motown – The Funk Brothers – Motown’s in-house band who played on hundreds of hits, including more than 40 No. 1 hits – finally get their due. (2002)
- Motown – The Musical (2014). It was a show like no other.
- Migos becomes Motown’s latest act to have a No. 1 Hot 100 hit with “Bad and Boujee.” (2017)
None of those would have happened without the label Berry Gordy started and honed to become one of the greatest American institutions of the 20th century and beyond.
To Mr. Berry Gordy we say congratulations on your retirement, and Happy 90th birthday!
And most of all, thank you for the music and the memories!

F-ve Dolls (Korean: 파이브돌스; sometimes stylized as F-VE DOLLS, formerly known as 5dolls) is a South Korean female pop group. They debuted with two single tracks "Lip Stains" (입술자국) and "I Mean You" (너 말이야).
In December 2010 Co-Ed School broke into sub-groups. The female members (with the addition of a new member, Seo Eun Kyo), became F-ve Dolls.
On January 20, 2011 F-ve Dolls released two promotional videos featuring Jay Park, one called "Lip Stains" and the other one called "It's You". F-ve Dolls released their first mini album on February 16, 2011 and debuted on M! Countdown on February 17, 2011.
During their live performances, the group received criticism for presumably lip synching their live performances. F-ve Dolls released their second mini-album Time To Play on May 11, 2011 with their lead single "Like This Or That" (이러쿵 저러쿵); releasing the music video on the same day. "Like This Like That" stands as the highest selling song for a rookie of 2011 with $192,000 USD grossed.
In February Soomi, left the group to focus on her solo career, and introduced her replacement, Nayeon, on the same day. Chanmi left the group in Summer 2012 and a trainee Shannon was announced to be replacing her. In February 2013, trainee Choi Jihyun was also announced to be joining the group. Thus, the second line-up of the group had six members.
On July 8, 2013, the group officially announced that they would be returning at the end of the month with a new single called "Soulmate #1" as well as a new stage name, "F-ve Dolls". Two concept photo teasers were also released, showing a third version of the group's line-up and confirming the addition of another two new members; Seunghee and The SeeYa member Yeonkyung who will simultaneously promote between two groups, thus confirming Shannon and Jihyun's departure from the group; while Nayeon would be the only trainee from the second line-up who will remain.
On July 31, 2013, their first digital single "Since 1971" was released with the music video of "Soulmate #1", the title track of the digital single. The song charted 62 on the Gaon Chart & 44 on the Billboard Korea Hot 100. F-ve Dolls promoted "Soulmate #1" from July 31 through September 1, 2013.
F-ve Dolls followed-up promotions with a new mini-album called "First Love". The song was performed on September 12, 2013, while the mini-album was released on 17 September 2013. The title song of their new mini-album is called "사랑한다 안한다". the English title is "Can You Love Me?". The song features new T-ara N4 member Kim Dani making it her debut. On 17 September 2013, a 2nd version of the "Can You Love Me?" music video was released and so also a music video for the song "Deceive" which was in their new mini-album was released as well.

Idaho is now seen as one of the most intriguing and attractive states in the Union. Any view of the Gem State is likely to be broadened and deepened by this superbly written history of it, In Mountain Shadows. Carlos A. Schwantes illustrates the extent to which Idahoans have always been divided by geography, transportation patterns, religion, and history. Although the state motto should have been "Divided We Stand," as he says in affectionate jest, it is also true that Idahoans come together on some basics-on avoiding crowds and maintaining the good life close to scenic mountains and streams. Schwantes reaches back to 1805, when Lewis and Clark were among the first white men to enter present-day Idaho. He describes the Indians then living in the Great Basin and Plateau, and proceeds through layers of history to show how fur traders, missionaries, and overland emigrants defined the land that became a territory in 1863 and, finally, a state in 1890. The vigilantism, Indian wars, mining booms and busts, and an-imosity toward Mormons and Chinese immigrants that marked the territorial years gave way to more troubles in the early years of statehood: an economic downturn, industrial violence, political protest. The arrival of automobiles promised to end isolation, but the formidable terrain slowed the building of north-south highways, just as it had railroads. Nevertheless, future Idaho would be a product of engineering and witness the coming of irrigation systems and hydroelectric plants. Schwantes brings his history through the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War, noting everyday life, colorful personalities, political and economic cycles, raging controversies, and current trends.

Big mountain skier and alpinist, mountain guide and Goal Zero ambassador Luke Smithwick continues his project to ski five hundred ski lines in the Himalayas.
The Pakistan Karakoram contains more than four thousand peaks above 20,000 feet. In short, it is a vast world of technical spires, towers and soaring glaciated peaks. The range politically spans in an arc across Pakistan, China and India. Over the past 10 years I’ve made some forays into this subrange of the Himalayas, yet this was my first big push in the region. Over the past four months I sought a variety of skiing objectives in four different locales of the Pakistan Karakoram; Shimshal, Nagar, Hunza and Skardu. Each region has its own unique character, orography and inhabitants. I chose to begin skiing in April because this is when the snowpack is most stable. Choosing steeper more challenging terrain during the Winter months means dealing with more avalanche problems.
A bit of backstory, this was part of the HIMALAYA 500, my project to ski five hundred ski lines in the Himalayas. I began the project in 2010 and am about half way through completing it. The goal of the project is to highlight the immense variety of culture, geology and snow climates in the 1500 mile long Great Himalaya range. This leg in the Pakistan Karakoram was nothing short of extraordinary.
When we look at the four distinct regions of Shimshal, Nagar, Hunza and Skardu we have the residents of each respective region speaking four completely different language. In Shimshal they speak Wakhi, in Nagar they speak Burashashki, in Skardu they speak Balti, and in Hunza they speak Shina (along with Burashashki). Four distinct languages that have no relation to each other. The four regions are within one hundred square miles, and are distinctly separated by major glacial rivers and subranges of the Karakoram. I find it fascinating to have remarkably unique cultures developing in such close proximity to one another, and that so all because of the mountains themselves.
Now to move to the ski terrain, the Skardu area is the home of 8000m giants K2, Gasherbrum One & Two, and Broad Peak. While these peaks can be ski objectives themselves, there is a lot more variety in the region at lesser altitudes. The Baltoro glacier itself is 39 miles in length with the peaks alongside it being of varying types of rock, with the most appealing area being the Baltoro plutonic unit, which contains the granitoids of the Trango towers. As a skier I’m drawn to granite because it tends to create great hallways (couloirs) for skiing.
The Nagar and Hunza areas also happen to hold excellent granite couloirs, along with sedimentary formations. What also struck me about the Nagar and Hunza regions were the lifestyles the inhabitants had carved out beneath the massive Karakoram mountains. Pastoral farmers plowed and planted the fields, youth herded the sheep and goat into the hills above villages, while others processed grain and made wool from their herds.
The Shimshal valley is off the beaten track and home to some of the best mountaineers in Pakistan. For the short period of time I had to ski the area we chose the Ghujerab mountains to the North of the village proper. We walked for a day and a half to set a high base camp, skiing ramps, faces and couloirs there in sedimentary limestone for four days before I was pulled back to head into the Baltoro for the next objective. When you reach higher elevations in Shimshal you come to the realization of how much is truly out there. I love that feeling, that no matter where you are in the Karakoram, there is always more on the distant horizon.
Today I’m back at my home in the Teton valley of Idaho. I put down roots here five years ago and it’s where I base for training and preparing for my projects in the Himalayas. I’m planning to ski an 8000 meter peak in Nepal in September 2021, stay tuned for the next update. This completes this leg of the project that I started in April 2021.
To power my most recent expeditions in the Karakoram I used two of the Goal Zero Nomad 100 solar panels and four Sherpa 100AC power banks. Portability is paramount for me, and I like to have several smaller but capable power banks that can be used for multiple applications on a given day (as opposed to having one large power bank). The batteries powered my Nikon D810 full frame D-SLR, Macbook Pro, DJI Mavic Pro, lights for the kitchen and dining, mobile phones, satellite phone, heated socks (for high altitude), headlamps, and two way radios.
Luke has now returned from the Pakistani Karakoram where most recently his team successfully climbed 8031m Gasherbrum Two. You can follow all of Luke’s adventure on his social media accounts, Instagram | Facebook | Twitter

In 2017, the Stillaguamish Tribe and partners completed the tidal portion of the zis a ba estuary restoration project, restoring an area that had been diked and farmed for more than a century. The Tribe secured funding and collaborated with multiple partners to do the planning and on-the-ground work that ultimately returned tidal and riverine influence to 88 acres. The list of project benefits is long: estuarine wetlands were restored for fish and wildlife species, the surrounding farmland was protected, flood control was improved and opportunities for cultural practices such as plant harvest were increased. And, yes, it is also good for birds!
The Tribe worked with the State of Washington’s Department of Ecology to secure a National Coastal Wetlands Conservation Grant, and additional funding was provided from the Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board. The existing dike was removed and a “setback levee” was built, allowing for a more natural estuary while also protecting property nearby.
Estuaries are rich biological environments, but it takes both the riverine and tidal influences to make an estuary function as it should ecologically. This project restores those influences. One species that will benefit is the Chinook salmon which has fallen to precipitous lows in the Stillaguamish River. For birds, the restored estuary provides mudflats, river channels, wetlands and riparian areas.
At the flyway level, the greater Skagit and Stillaguamish Delta is a stopover for migratory waterfowl, and supports migrating songbirds, shorebirds and waterbirds. The combined estuaries were once part of a much larger system that supported incredible numbers of migratory and resident birds. A short list of birds that will benefit as these coastal estuaries are restored includes: Bald eagle, Peregrine Falcon, Osprey, Great Blue Heron, Greater Yellowlegs, Dunlin, Western Sandpiper, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Mallard and Northern Pintail.
Funding, implementation and/or technical partners on this project included: Stillaguamish Indian Tribe, Washington Department of Ecology, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ducks Unlimited, Skagit River System Cooperative, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Washington Recreation Conservation Office Salmon Recovery Board.

BURLINGTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/13/12 -- TIE Kinetix®, a software solutions company that facilitates every step of the e-commerce lifecycle, predicts that enterprise technology such as content syndication will level the playing field for SMBs in 2013. The shift to cloud and SaaS-based solutions will make it possible for SMBs to market content more effectively, affordably and compete with bigger players. TIE Kinetix's 2013 outlook forecasts that while selling through partners will continue to be a major growth strategy for organizations, without the right tools, they will still struggle to maximize the full potential of the channel.
TIE Kinetix's Predictions for 2013:
1. Uptick in SaaS/cloud adoption will give SMBs a bigger piece of the pie - Larger, formidable enterprises will need to watch SMBs as they make the shift to cloud/SaaS and harness the power of enterprise technology that was not previously affordable. With the same tools as large enterprises, SMBs will be able to market smarter and broader, reaching new customers across the channel.
2. The end of brand fragmentation - A critical focus for marketers will be to stop the brand fragmentation that comes through the indirect channel and with multi channel and multi device touch points for customers. To provide a seamless user and brand experience, organizations will look to enterprise software that can streamline marketing content and provide a 360-degree view of the purchase lifecycle.
3. Content marketing expands footprint with mobile and social - In an effort to create a single, unified customer experience across the indirect channel, organizations will seek to better control their marketing content through global syndication. Content marketing will get its fair share of the marketing budget as organizations leverage mobile platforms to deliver location-based content to handheld devices.
4. Social media marketing refined - Marketers often embrace new tools enthusiastically at first without fully understanding customer preferences. Growing evidence suggests consumers don't enjoy direct marketing efforts via Facebook but instead prefer more conversational interactions. In 2013 marketers will take a more cautious and educated approach to make sure they are more aligned with customer expectations when it comes to interacting on social media. Social media will continue to play an important role in the marketing mix as long as the right channels are used for the right communications.
5. CMOs tackle tech decisions - Historically, IT has driven integration and e-commerce decisions and has done so from a cost efficiency perspective. In 2013, a paradigm shift will occur whereby more power to source and choose will move to CMOs as they are charged to leverage technology and SaaS-based solutions to reach more people faster. CMOs will look to increase speed to market through technology that can push out timely pricing and product info across all channels and the ones who can do this effectively will own the market. IT's role will be to support these efforts and play a true part in driving revenue.
6. Online retailers seek security and protection support - Regulatory changes for security standards in online and mobile technology will plague retailers in the coming year. TIE Kinetix expects that with the increased data breaches and more poorly encrypted data out there, online retailers will struggle to find the optimal way to protect customers and their brands. By choosing SaaS-based solutions from vendors with a proven track record in security, businesses will be able to bring the focus back to selling, with confidence that compliance and advanced security certification management are in safe hands.
"In 2013 we fully expect more channel challenges and confusion as organizations struggle to understand how to market through partnerships, while minimizing brand fragmentation. Successful organizations will deploy enterprise technology to gain a single view across channels and present a unified brand and shopping experience to customers. Coordinated marketing efforts and content can increase conversion rates that go beyond the 'buy button.'" - Brian Tervo, COO, TIE Kinetix.

Lied about medical condition
SAN FRANCISCO – Nicholas King Beyer was convicted in United States District Court today of making false statements to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on pilot medical certification forms, announced United States Attorney David L. Anderson; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General, Criminal Investigations Division, Special Agent in Charge James Wahleithner; and U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General Regional Acting Special Agent in Charge Susan Ocampo. The verdict was handed down today following a half-day bench trial before the Honorable Charles R. Breyer, U.S. District Judge.
Judge Breyer found Beyer, 34, of Discovery Bay, Calif., guilty on two counts of making false statements to the FAA, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), and two counts of falsifying, concealing, or covering up material facts by trick, scheme, or device, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(1).
According to his Facebook page, Beyer is a flight instructor at SkyView Aviation, LLC, worked at USS Harry S. Truman, is a former ABH at United States Navy and former Navy firefighter at NALF Fentress, studies at ATP Flight School and at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and attended Liberty High School in Brentwood, CA.
Evidence at trial showed that Beyer made false statements on applications for an airman medical certificate, FAA Form 8500-8, which he submitted to the FAA in 2016, and again in 2018. The FAA’s airman medical certificate process is the mechanism by which the FAA evaluates whether pilots are mentally and physically fit to fly. The evidence showed that Beyer falsely stated on both of his Form 8500-8s that he had never been diagnosed with, did not have, and had never had a mental disorder of any sort; when in fact Beyer had been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in 2016. The evidence also showed that Beyer falsely stated on the forms that he was only receiving disability benefits for knee and back injuries from the VA, when he was also receiving disability benefits for Major Depressive Disorder.
A federal grand jury indicted Beyer on August 23, 2018, charging him with two counts of making false statements to the FAA, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), and two counts of falsifying, concealing, or covering up material facts by trick, scheme, or device, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(1). Judge Breyer convicted Beyer on all four counts.
Judge Breyer scheduled the defendant’s sentencing hearing for April 22, 2020.
Beyer faces maximum statutory penalties of five (5) years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000, plus restitution for each violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2) and each violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(1). However, any sentence will be imposed by the court only after consideration of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and the federal statute governing the imposition of a sentence, 18 U.S.C. § 3553.
Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexandra Shepard and Assistant U.S. Attorney David Ward are prosecuting the case with the assistance of Hector Lopez. The prosecution is the result of an investigation by the Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General.

Fired Greek Worker Shoots 3, Injures Bulgarian
A former plastic factory employee shot three people and took two hostages in the northern Greek city of Komotini before surrendering to police early on Friday.
52-year-old Dimitrios Manikas who had been fired from the factory 6 months ago burst into the site Thursday afternoon with a shotgun, firing at the chairman of the company and a Bulgarian employee, who were hospitalized with gunshot wounds not considered to be life threatening.
The Bulgarian has been shot in the thigh, according to the Bulgarian Blitz news agency. A police officer has also been shot and injured in the hand.
Manikas had demanded to be paid EUR 31 000 that he claimed the company still owed him in wages, as well as to be rehired by the company, at which he had worked since July 2000, according to Ekathimerini.
The two hostages, aged 51 and 64, were reported to be in good health.

If you’re considering a new chimney chase cover, there are many factors to consider. A stainless steel chase cover is the most durable. It will also be more expensive, but it is very likely to last a very long time. You can also choose to buy a less expensive galvanized steel version. Stainless steel is often more durable, but it is not as sturdy as galvanized steel. It will not be as resistant to rusting, so it’s important to consider the lifespan of this material. Despite its price tag, it’s also important to consider the maintenance of galvanized steel.
As chase covers age, they tend to rust. Over time, the protective coating will corrode and lead to holes. Once the cap rusts, water can flow through the open side of the chase and damage the chimney from the inside out. Sheet metal chase covers can begin to leak and rusted within 10 years if they are not replaced. This is because they lack a drip edge and allow water to run down the sides of the chimney.
A properly installed chase cover will look very attractive and add value to your home. It will protect your chimney from moisture and stains and protect your home. It’s important to take good measurements of your old cover and then select the new one. A well-made chase cover can cost around $200. However, a well-built one will last for decades. If you’re having trouble finding a replacement for your old one, try visiting a local fireplace repair shop.
The first step in replacing your old chase cover is to remove it from the chimney. You can do this by lifting it off. It may require you to climb to the roof and unbolt the screws holding the old cover in place. Thankfully, the process is not complicated. You should be able to do it yourself within a couple of hours. If you’re unable to do this task, you should hire someone to do it for you.
You should also consider how often you need to replace your chase cover. Although it is an excellent preventative measure, a chase cover will not last forever. It will need to be replaced when it’s rusted and needs repairs. A new stainless steel chase cover can be installed in a few hours. After that, you should put silicone around the frame of the chimney to avoid leaks. A new cap should also include a drip edge.
The new chase cover should be made of stainless steel. It should be of good quality and last a long time. However, if the old chase has rust, you may need to replace it with a new one. Copper is the best material for a chase cover and it will cost you more money. If you can’t afford the new one, you should hire a professional to do it for you.

It took five hours and 17 minutes for the Astros to beat the Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series.
The game included 14 pitchers who combined to throw 417 pitches. There were 28 hits, seven homers, and 25 total runs scored.
And none of those numbers even come close to capturing the drama, the intensity, or the full-blown, jaw-dropping weirdness of the Astros’ 13-12, walkoff, 10-inning win.

With all that Houston has been through with Hurricane Harvey, this seems to be their year.

Countdown to global catastrophe

Global warming approaching point of no return...
Climate change: report warns point of no return may be reached in 10 years, leading to droughts, agricultural failure and water shortages. The possibilities include reaching climatic tipping points leading, for example, to the loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets (which, between them, could raise sea level more than 10 metres over the space of a few centuries), the shutdown of the thermohaline ocean circulation (and, with it, the Gulf Stream), and the transformation of the planet's forests and soils from a net sink of carbon to a net source of carbon. Countdown to global catastrophe

There are 25 days until the voters of New Orleans decide the top two candidates in the crowded race for Mayor of New Orleans. There are currently 18 candidates running for Mayor; however, most analysts have concluded there are three clear front-runners: Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell, Former Judge Desiree Charbonnet and Former Judge Michael Bagneris, all Democrats.
This weekend, two different findings from two respectable pollsters with two totally different results hit the New Orleans Mayor’s election streets.
According to a poll by Greg Rigamer, Desiree Charbonnet has a five point lead over her closest competitor LaToya Cantrell but 41% of those polled were undecided. The poll was commissioned by the Charbonnet campaign and the five point margin was within the same margin of error.
“Money makes the elections go around, the elections go around, the elections go around.”
In today’s political world and in this case, the New Orleans Mayor’s race, money tells us much about who might be in the runoff, post-election day. Desiree Charbonnet, has a major advantage right now in terms of cash-on-hand compared to all other candidates. She leads with a 3 to 1 advantage over her next top-tier opponent, LaToya Cantrell, New Orleans City Councilwoman.
The dirty attack ads and websites that define most political races are off and running in the race for New Orleans Mayor. In an age of SuperPacs with unknown donors, we're now seeing cowardly anti-candidate sites showing up in political cyberspace without any identifiers as to who funded, built, created or responsible for the domain and sites itself.
According to an organization that supports local media, one New Orleans television station might be at risk should a merger be approved by the federat government. That station, WGNO, an ABC affiliate, is among other statons that have been purchased by the conservative and pro-Donald Trump leaning network of TV stations, Sinclair.
According to the just-released annual report from the University of New Orleans, the job situation in New Orleans is better, the Port of New Orleans and New Orleans area tourism is strong, deplanement is increasing yet the population growth continues to only slightly tick up.
In a recent newspaper article that appeared in the Metro Section of the New Orleans Advocate on Thursday, August 17, 2017, it was headlined that, "Bagneris eyes closing gap in the mayoral race." The subtitled was, "Candidate picks up support in business community."
You can always get an idea what’s on the minds of candidates running for elective office, by the posts they put up on social media.
Today, Michael Bagneris is proud to showcase support from a major backer Frank Stewart. He also has an big event tomorrow—Po Boys and Purple Knights, as in St. Augustine.

- Why are saturated fats insoluble in water?
Are proteins insoluble in water?
Fibrous proteins are insoluble in water because their surface is primarily comprised of amino acids with non-polar side-chains..
Do saturated fats have double bonds?
Saturated fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen since single bonds increase the number of hydrogens on each carbon. Stearic acid and palmitic acid, which are commonly found in meat, are examples of saturated fats. When the hydrocarbon chain contains a double bond, the fatty acid is said to be unsaturated.
What lipid is most soluble in water?
PhospholipidsPhospholipids. Phospholipids are types of lipids that are soluble in both oil and water. This is possible because the fatty acids’ hydrocarbon tails are hydrophobic, like most lipids.
What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?
The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.
What food is high in lipids?
Triacylglycerols (also known as triglycerides) make up more than 95 percent of lipids in the diet and are commonly found in fried foods, vegetable oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, cream cheese, and some meats. Naturally occurring triacylglycerols are found in many foods, including avocados, olives, corn, and nuts.
Are unsaturated fats liquid at room temperature?
The molecular structure of unsaturated fats makes them liquid at room temperature. Their fat molecules do not stack easily, so they cannot form a solid at this temperature.
Do lipids dissolve in water quizlet?
defining characteristic of all lipids is that they do not readily dissolve in water. Lipids do not possess the monomers-to- polymers structure seen in other biological molecules; no one structural element is common to all lipids.
Are lipids soluble or insoluble in water?
Why are lipids insoluble in water quizlet?
What do DNA, proteins, and fats have in common? Lipids are insoluble in water because they contain nonpolar ___ and ___ bonds. Because of this, there are no partial charges on the atoms and nothing for water to be attracted to. Thus, lipids are hydrophobic.
Why are hydrocarbons insoluble in water?
Explanation: “Like dissolves like.” This means that polar solvents can only dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents can only dissolve nonpolar solutes. Water is a polar solvent and hydrocarbons are nonpolar, so hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.
What is the difference between lipid and fat?
The main difference between lipids and fats is that lipids are a broad group of biomolecules whereas fats are a type of lipids. Fat is stored in the adipose tissue and under the skin of animals. It is mainly used as an energy-storage molecule in the body.
How do Fats differ from proteins nucleic acids and polysaccharides quizlet?
How do fats differ from proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides? Only fats do not form from the polymerization of monomers. … The other macromolecules form via the polymerization of monomers: amino acids for proteins, nucleotides for nucleic acids and monosaccharides for polysaccharides.
Are all fats insoluble in water?
Since the hydrocarbon chains are very non-polar, fats do no dissolve in water; instead, fat molecules tend to coalesce with one another. Since a fat molecule has 3 fatty acids connected to a glycerol molecule, they are also called trigylcerides.
Which lipid is totally insoluble?
Triglycerides are completely insoluble in water. However, due to the ionic organic phosphate group, phospholipids demonstrate properties because the ionic group is attracted to water. Phospholipids have both a polar, hydrophilic end, and a nonpolar, hydrophobic end.
Why are lipid insoluble in water?
Lipids are hydrophobic means water hating. They are water insoluble. Lipids are non-polar molecules while water is polar molecule, so there is no way for water to attach to a lipid molecule. Instead, the non-polar lipids will bind to themselves, which is why oils and fats form droplets on the surface of water.
Why is triglyceride insoluble in water?
Triglycerides function as a long-term storage form of energy in the human bods. Because of the long carbon chains, triglycerides are nearly nonpolar molecules and thus do not dissolve readily in polar solvents such as water.
Is Sugar insoluble in water?
Sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slightly polar sucrose molecules form intermolecular bonds with the polar water molecules.
Why are saturated fats insoluble in water?
The fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons that are hydrophobic, making the resulting fat insoluble in water despite the hydrophilic nature of the glycerol. … Saturated fatty acids have single bonds between all the carbon atoms and are thus saturated with the maximum number of possible hydrogen atoms.

Throughout January, Orange County Library System is hosting a diverse range of events celebrating Jack London’s adventure classic, The Call of the Wild. To celebrate, we’ve put together a list of recommended films which feature dogs that expound upon the literary themes found in The Call of the Wild. All titles are available for checkout from Orange County Library System.
Everyone’s favorite stuck-in-the-well alert system stars in this faithful adaptation of the original Lassie Come-Home novel. After being sold to the Duke of Rudling (played by Peter O’ Toole), the titular collie sets forth on an international adventure to reunite with her original owner.
Directed by auteur Wes Anderson, and featuring an ensemble cast of, well, nearly every famous actor working today, Isle of Dogs is a beautifully rendered tale about the bonds that develop between humans and dogs. On the surface, this stop-motion animated dystopian science-fiction comedy can appear to be too many things at once. But like the meticulously crafted sushi roll featured in the film, all the ingredients combine to form a fresh and wholly original experience.
A heartbreaking character study about a homeless woman and the dog she cares for. The film offers an affecting portrait of desperation and self-reliance, anchored by a subdued performance from Michelle Williams. Fun fact: For her role in Wendy & Lucy, the film’s canine actor was awarded the Palm Dog, an annual award presented as an alternative to the Palme D’or and awarded to the best canine performance during the Cannes Film Festival.
White Fang (1991)
Adapted from another Jack London novel, White Fang follows the experiences of a wild wolfdog and Jack Conroy, a young boy portrayed by Ethan Hawke, during the Klondike Gold Rush. The film adaptation takes some liberties with the source material in the interest of making it more accessible to a family-friendly audience, but the thematic roots of the novel remain intact.
