Phentermine HCL is used mainly as an appetite suppressant, and it was first introduced in 1959. Previously, it was part of the combination fen-phen that was removed from the market in 1997. It was reintroduced in 2012 as phentermine/topiramate which is a different mixture that was approved for use in the US by the FDA. Buy Phentermine 37.5 mg from the best weight loss store.
What is Phentermine Hydrochloride Used For?
Belonging to the drug class sympathomimetic amines, phentermine is known as an appetite suppressant. With doctor-approved exercise, phentermine is used in combination with behavior change and a reduced-calorie diet to help you lose weight. People at a certain weight that are experiencing weight-related medical problems use it for weight reduction and to help them keep the weight off. This can help to lessen health risks that go along with obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and a shorter lifespan.
You will reach peak concentrations of phentermine HCL 37.5 mg in about three to four hours. People taking it can see, on average, weight loss of approximately one pound per week. You will notice the greatest rate of weight loss in the first few weeks of taking the diet pill according to phentermine HCL reviews.
How It Works
Phentermine HCL 30mg is used in the treatment of obesity, and it is a central nervous stimulant.
Phentermine hydrochloride tablets appear to have several actions that include neuron stimulation that releases the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine that can account for its appetite suppressant effect. It also seems to raise the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine by impeding their reuptake as well as reducing monoamine oxidase enzymes. It may also raise leptin levels in the brain indirectly causing you to feel full while lowering the effects of neuropeptide Y, which is a chemical messenger that introduces eating and fat storage while decreasing the expenditure of energy.
Phentermine is included in the class of drugs known as anorexigenics or anorectics.
Your doctor will recommend that you include diet and exercise into your overall weight loss plan when you are taking phentermine. This is a short-term drug that should be discontinued after six to twelve weeks, but you should continue with your exercise and diet plan to attain your weight loss goals. This medication was designed to help those battling obesity to kick-start their weight loss plans, while they become accustomed to following an exercise plan and a low-calorie diet.
Phentermine HCL vs Phentermine
There is no difference between them. Phentermine is also called Phentermine HCL (HCL is hydrochloride).
What is Phentermine Hydrochloride?
One of the most commonly prescribed appetite suppressants, phentermine HCL 30mg makes up fifty percent of appetite suppressant prescriptions. This is due to its relative inexpensiveness in comparisons to other major FDA-approved diet drugs like Xenical and Meridia.
First approved by the FDA in 1959, phentermine was used an appetite suppressant for short-term treatment of obesity. In 1959, phentermine resin also became available in the US., and phentermine hydrochloride became available in the early 1970s. You can find it in the U.S. under the brand names Adipex-P® (Gate Pharmaceuticals) and Ionamin® (Medeva Pharmaceuticals) and generically as 'phentermine'. It was previously sold as Fastin® (formerly produced by King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham) but was taken off the market in December 1998. Newer efficacy trials have not been done since it is an older drug, except for several trials in the early to mid-nineties on the combination of fenfluramine and phentermine.
Tablet Types
Phentermine hydrochloride tablets USP 37.5 mg that is equal to 30 mg phentermine base are oval-shaped, white tablets with blue specks that are scored on one side and have MP 273 debossed on the other side.

Your doctor should be aware if you have taken in the past year or are currently taking other appetite-suppressant drugs like ephedra or diethylpropion. When taking MAO inhibitors, you may have a possibly fatal drug interaction if you are also taking phentermine HCL. So, it is important to stop taking any MAO inhibitor like phenelzine, linezolid, rasagiline, methylene blue, moclobemide, procarbazine, selegiline, or isocarboxazid if you intend on taking phentermine hydrochloride. Many of the MAO inhibitors should not be taken within two weeks of starting treatment with the weight loss aide.
Make sure to check with your physician before starting or stopping usage of any prescription drug and provide a list of all prescription, nonprescription, and herbal products you are using. This is especially important for high blood pressure medications like methyldopa, and guanethidine. It is also important to not mix prescription drugs with other stimulants like ecstasy, cocaine, methylphenidate, or amphetamines.
If you are taking drugs that cause drowsiness or dizziness like antihistamines, tell your doctors. This also goes for anxiety medication or sleep aids like zolpidem, alprazolam, and diazepam, psychiatric medicine like amitriptyline, risperidone, and trazodone, narcotic pain relievers like codeine, or muscle relaxers.
Also, ask your doctor or pharmacist about using phentermine safely with other daily habits like caffeine which can increase the medication's side effects. So, avoid drinking beverages with a lot of caffeine like tea, soda, and coffee or eat a lot of chocolate. It can also interfere with certain lab tests including brain scans for Parkinson's disease and can cause a false test result, so inform your doctor and laboratory personnel that you are using it.

- Do not use with other medications that are used for weight loss.
- If you have angina pain, shortness of breath, a decrease in your ability to exercise, or fluid retention in legs or feet, report it to your doctor immediately.
- An accidental dose can be fatal to pets or children. Drug users may seek out phentermine. Keep any supply of the prescription medication away from others.
- There is no difference between Phentermine HCL vs Phentermine. They are the same thing.
Bottom Line
Using phentermine as a short-term aid to weight loss can provide effective weight loss. It is important to be careful when taking phentermine HCL as it can be addictive and you can develop a tolerance that lessens its weight-losing effects with time.

The Jehovah's Witnesses
False prophecy gone to seed
By Dr. David Reagan
The Jehovah's Witnesses are the undisputed world champions of false prophecy.
Formally known as The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, the organization was founded by Charles Taze Russell in 1879. Its doctrines were originally based on some bizarre teachings which Russell revealed in his six volume series of books called Studies in Scripture.
Russell denied the doctrine of the Trinity and argued that Jesus was a created being who was, in fact, the archangel Michael. He also denied that the Holy Spirit was a person, arguing instead that He is an "impersonal, invisible, active force."
When Russell died in 1916, he was succeeded by Joseph F. Rutherford who proved to be a strong leader and a prolific author. The result was phenomenal growth. In 1928 the organization had 44,000 members. When Rutherford died in 1942, the membership had more than doubled to 115,000.
Nathan H. Knorr took over in 1942. He streamlined the organization and developed a worldwide outreach strategy. It was also under his leadership that the New World Translation of the Bible was published. This translation, which was issued in six volumes between 1950 and 1960, ignores all accepted rules of translation. Basically, it constitutes a re-wording of all passages that contradict Watchtower doctrines.
When Knorr died in 1977, the Watchtower had over 2.2 million members. Under the leadership of Frederick W. Franz, the fourth president, the Watchtower reached a total membership of over 4 million members. With the death of Franz in 1992, the current president, Milton G. Henschel, took the helm.
From its inception, the organization has been characterized by false prophecy. Originally, the prophecies were issued in the name of the president - first, Charles Taze Russell and then Joseph F. Rutherford. But since Rutherford's death in 1942, the prophecies have been issued in the name of the organization's governing body which is headquartered in Brooklyn, New York.
The first date the organization set for the Lord's Second Coming was for the year 1914. It was later narrowed down to October of that year. Listed below are just a few of the prophecies that were issued over the years pointing to the date of October 1914.
1880 - "We need not here repeat the evidences that the seventh trump began its sounding in 1840 and will continue until the end of the time of trouble, and the end of the times of the Gentiles in 1914." (Zion's Watchtower, November 1880, page 1)
1888 - "... the full end of the times of the Gentiles, i.e., the full end of their lease of dominion, will be reached in 1914... at that date the Kingdom of God... will obtain full, universal control... and it will then be set up, or firmly established, in the earth on the ruins of the present institutions." (The Time is at Hand, 1888, pp. 76-77)
1889 - "... the setting up of the Kingdom of God has already begun... and the battle of the great day of God Almighty (Revelation 16:14) which will end in 1914 with the complete overthrow of earth's present rulership, is already commenced. Remember that... the Gospel age harvest will end October, 1914, and that likewise the overthrow of 'Christendom,' so-called, must be expected to immediately follow." (Studies in the Scriptures, vol. 2, 1889, pp. 101 and 245)
1894 - "We see no reason for changing the figures - nor would we change them if we could. They are, we believe, God's dates, not ours. But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date of the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble." (Watchtower, July 15, 1894, p. 266)
1897 - "Complete destruction of 'the powers that be' of 'this present evil world' - political, financial, ecclesiastical - [will occur] about the close of the 'time of the Gentiles' in October 1914." (Studies in the Scriptures, vol. 4, 1897, p. 622)
1902 - "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished by the end of 1914." (The Time is at Hand, 1902 edition, p. 99) Note: this same statement was contained in the 1908 edition of the same book.
1904 - "According to our expectations, the stress of the great time of trouble will be on us soon, somewhere between 1910 and 1912, culminating with the end of the 'Times of the Gentiles' in 1914." (Studies in the Scriptures, vol. 6, 1904, p. 579)
As you can readily see from the statements quoted above, the date of October 1914 was no casual slip of the tongue. Furthermore, the date was declared to be "God's date, not ours." When October 1914 came and passed without anything of consequence taking place, the Watchtower leaders issued an incredible statement denying that they had ever "positively" stated that 1914 would be the year! Here's how they put it:
"Studying God's Word we [predicted] October 1914 as nearly as we were able to reckon. We did not say positively that this would be the year." (Watchtower, November 1, 1914, p. 325)
The next year, the Society's president, Charles Taze Russell, issued a bold prophecy about World War I. He stated:
"The present great war in Europe is the beginning of the Armageddon of the Scriptures (Revelation 19:16-20). It will eventuate in the complete overthrow of all the systems of error which have so long oppressed the people of God and deluded the world." (Pastor Russell's Sermons, 1915, p. 676)
In the same year (1915), the Watchtower boldly proclaimed a new date for the Lord's return:
"In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God will be accomplished near the end of 1915." (The Time is at Hand, 1915 edition, p. 99)
A year later in 1916, the 1915 date had been forgotten and an attempt was being made to salvage the original date of 1914:
"We see no reason for doubting therefore that the Times of the Gentiles ended in October 1914; and that a few more years will witness their utter collapse and the full establishment of God's Kingdom in the hands of Messiah." (Watchtower Reprints, vol, 6, p. 5950, September 1, 1916)
A year later in 1917, undeterred by all their failures, the Society issued a new date for the Lord's return - namely, 1925: "There will be no slip-up... Abraham should enter upon the actual possession of his promised inheritance in the year 1925" (Watchtower, October 15, 1917, p. 6157). Before he died in 1916, Russell personally stated: "... there is evidence that the establishment of the Kingdom in Palestine will probably be in 1925, ten years later than we once calculated" (Studies in the Scriptures, vol. 7, p. 128).
In the years following, the 1925 date was reconfirmed over and over again - in 1922, 1923, and 1924. Again, there were no "ifs, ands, or buts." The date was firmly established:
"The period must end in 1925... [This date] is definitely fixed in the Scriptures. Every thinking person can see that a great climax is at hand. The scriptures clearly indicate that the climax is the fall of Satan's empire and the full establishment of the Messianic kingdom... Therefore, it can be confidently said at this time that millions now living will never die." (Golden Age, January 4, 1922, p. 217)
Once again, as with the 1914 date, the revelation was attributed to God:
"This chronology is not of man, but of God. Being of divine origin and divinely corroborated, present-truth chronology stands in a class by itself, absolutely and unqualifiedly correct..." (Watchtower, July 15, 1922, p. 217)
Yet, despite such absolute predictions, when 1925 came and passed without the return of the Lord, the Watchtower leaders had the audacity to blame the error on their over-zealous followers:
"Some anticipated that the work would end in 1925, but the Lord did not state so. The difficulty was that friends inflated their imaginations beyond reason..." (Watchtower, 1926, p. 232)
Following the disappointing failure of the 1925 prophecies, the Watchtower shifted its prophetic focus to predictions about the timing of the battle of Armageddon, the battle that would usher in the Messianic Age.
1940 - "The year 1940 is certain to be the most important year yet because Armageddon is very near." (Informant, April 1940, p. 1)
1941 - "Armageddon is surely near..." (Children, 1941, p. 366)
1942 - "Now, with Armageddon immediately before us..." (Watchtower, April 1, 1942, p. 139)
1946 - "The disaster of Armageddon... is at the door." (Let God be True, 1946, p. 194)
1955 - "In the light of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, it is becoming clear that the war of Armageddon is nearing its breaking-out point." (You May Survive in God's New World, 1955, p. 331)
1966 - "Armageddon is, in fact, very close indeed." (Watchtower, October 15, 1966, p. 629)
As you can see, for twenty-six years Jehovah's Witnesses were told repeatedly that they were living on the threshold of the Tribulation. All the prophecies proved false.
Then, in the mid-Sixties, the focus of Watchtower prophecies shifted again. All the organization's publications began to teach that the six thousand years of Man's existence since the time of Creation would end in the fall of 1975, and that the Seventh Millennium, marking the beginning of the reign of Jesus, would begin at that time. (See All Scripture is Inspired of God and Beneficial, 1963, p. 286, and Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966, pp. 29-30.)
In July of 1969, President Nathan H. Knorr addressed 81,000 Witnesses at Dodger Field in Los Angeles. "Why are we looking forward to 1975?" he asked. And then he answered his question by stating, "It is firmly maintained that by the autumn of the year 1975, the battle of Armageddon will have been fought and God's new world will have been established" (Los Angeles Herald Examiner, July 21, 1969).
When 1975 came and passed, the faithful were once again berated by the Watchtower leaders for "thinking that Bible chronology reveals the specific date of the Lord's return" (Watchtower, July 15, 1976, p. 440).
In 1929, during the Great Depression, the president of the Jehovah's Witnesses, Joseph F. Rutherford, built himself a beautiful villa in San Diego which he used as his winter palace.
While most people were suffering greatly from the economic devastation of the Depression, Rutherford lived like royalty. He drank imported liquor, smoked big cigars, and drove a Cadillac.
Rutherford conned his Witness followers into believing that he had built the house for the soon returning patriarchs, judges, and kings named in Hebrews 11. He named the mansion "Beth Sarim," which in Hebrew means the House of Princes. In an interview with Time magazine in March of 1930, Rutherford said, "I have purposely landscaped the place with palm and olive trees so that these princes of the universe will feel at home."
At the time he built the house, Rutherford was predicting that any moment God would kill every man, woman and child on planet earth except faithful Jehovah's Witnesses. The biblical heroes of Hebrews 11 would then return to earth, and under the leadership of King David, they would use Beth Sarim as their headquarters to rule the world.
Most Jehovah's Witnesses today know nothing about this scam. The property was quietly sold in 1948, and the teaching that David and the patriarchs would soon return was dropped in 1950. Since that time, the Watchtower leaders have gone to great lengths to cover up this hoax.
In the deed it specifies that Joseph F. Rutherford is entitled to use the property as he sees fit until "the appearing of David or some of the other men mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter of Hebrews..." The deed goes on to specify that when King David appears, he must "prove or identify" himself to the officers of the Watchtower Society before he can take possession of the property!
I could continue ad nauseam, but I think the point is clear: the "prophets" of the Watchtower are false prophets. They fail the biblical test of accuracy (Deuteronomy 18:22), and they fail to pass the test which they themselves have established in their own words:
"True, there have been those in times past who predicted an "end" to the world, even announcing a specific date. Yet, nothing happened. The "end" did not come. They were guilty of false prophesying. Why? What was missing? Missing from such people were God's truths and the evidence that He was using and guiding them." (Awake, October 8, 1968)
So, how do the Watchtower leaders justify their many false prophecies? Incredibly, they argue that because they admit they have been wrong, they cannot be false prophets because "false prophets do not admit to making mistakes" (Watchtower, November 1972, p. 644).
The continuing growth of the Jehovah's Witnesses despite their long and sordid history of false prophecies is a testimony to the gullibility of fallen Man. Let us pray for the eyes of their very sincere but deceived followers to be opened to the truth of the Gospel.

I feel like I'm doing so many wish list posts lately - but I can't help it! Right now the shops just seem to be full of things I'd like to add to my wardrobe, which is probably because I need to pay my holiday, save some spending money, sort out travel insurance and basically do a million other things with my money than buy clothes! Always the way isn't it? When you have spare cash there's nothing in the shops that you like and when you have commitments there's a tonne of stuff!
I fell in love with this Sportmax dress on first sight - I love the mix of patterns and prints. It would be so fresh and easy to wear all summer, but especially in Florida - ironically Florida being the reason I cannot afford to shop right now! *Trying to focus on all the things I'll want to buy when I'm there!!!!*
Making its second appearance in a wish list is this Mulberry scarf. It's currently out of stock, which makes not being able to buy it a little bit easier, but I just know how much use this would be in my wardrobe. I have 2 of these scarves already and I wear them pretty much every day - a navy one would match so many of my outfits and fill a gap just nicely!
Another repeat offender is this ASOS dress - isn't it just gorgeous?! I have a wedding to go to in May which I might treat myself to this for and I think the jewel tones of the dress would work really well with the satin shoes below it.
Stepping away from occasion wear the black wrap dress from Topshop would be such an easy to wear every day piece. It's totally effortless but since my waist is my smallest part it would be really flattering.
The other black dress with the gold embroidery reminds me SO MUCH of a Dolce & Gabbana number but is approximately a tenth of the price! ASOS wins again!
And the last dress on the list is this Topshop number. Again I've featured it before so I won't say too much but I just LOVE it. The cut looks like it would be fairly flattering but it's just so expensive! In a way I'd rather just save up a bit more and buy a designer dress because I never feel like Topshop quality is as good as the price indicates but it's just so gorgeous! I'm so torn!
For the non-dress option I just love this outfit from H&M - trousers here and body here. It looks so elegant and totally like something from the 50s, I think it would look gorgeous with red lips, a hat and some cat eye sunglasses. I love this fedora from John Lewis - though at £35.00 it's more than I really want to pay for one, but if it's the perfect hat then is it worth the splurge?!
To balance out the fact I'm seriously considering spending £35 on a hat the sunglasses options are both super cheap - from New Look! I'll need to go in store and have a look at them/try them on but I love the look of both these pairs - the first ones are 'pink faded' according to the website, so I don't know if the pink would clash a bit! They don't look too pink when they're on the model though so I'll need to see them on! The second ones are listed as gold so they may match in a little better but like I say - it's so hard to judge these things online! Not that I'm going to actually buy anything, not at all, not that I might have already ordered the trousers and the body... Oops!!! H&M is always just cheap enough to justify!

All Things Divine
Blog, huh? Okay. There's a first for everything. By way on introduction, I'm Sister and sister-in-law to owners Michael and Susan Parker. Since I'm the entertainer of the family, (well, the loud one, anyway) I get the job of marketing and selling Divine Mary Mix! The first thing I learned is that it's REALLY GOOD! And while I have always loved our mix, the feedback I've gotten from "industry professionals" is amazing. So, that feedback has been of great comfort to me as I hit the streets with rolling ice chest in tow. It always helps when you are given the task of selling a product that it's good.
Whew! We got ourselves an Ally (everyone needs one) who is a graphic designer with amazing speed and productivity. She slammed out in a week a website (this one!) loads of product info sheets, business cards, marketing materials and an awesome banner with Michael Parker and Tito Beveridge which is presently hanging over the down bar at Freehouse. Please check it out….oh, she did the label, too which ROCKS! So..great product and amazing graphics…it seems this stuff is really ready to sell itself. All I have to do is hand out samples and we're in business.
There are some bars that have expressed hesitation about using the mix because they don't want to serve a competitors product in their bar, but not that many thank goodness. The mission here is not to promote Opal's, but to give Austin an original, authentic version of the Bloody Mary that we can all be proud of. If there is one thing Michael and Susan are not, it's self -promoting. They are just good, cool people trying to serve quality products to good, cool people like you and make a living doing it. It's awesome they have hired a loudmouth shameless promoter like me to shout about it!
Back to sales….thus far, all the Twin and Specs stores in Austin are now stocking and selling the mix (first things first) and a few other stores…Farm to Market, Wiggys (heart) and of all places…City Center Beverages in Sun City! Thanks to all who gave me suggestions of where to go next! We have been serving samples of the mix with Titos Handmade Vodka (Love me some Bellanti, Jenna and Happy!) (and even though he isn't working with us, Sweet Leaf Danny cuz he's so cute!) at charitable events and of course, Pride Parade (woot!). We will be making a showing next week on July 16th at the Salvage Vanguard Theatre to help some local filmmakers raise some well deserved $$ www.manfromorlando.com and also at the Barr Mansion benefit event at Texas Disposal Systems Exotic Game Park on July 18th. Please stop by and drop some change in the booty to help these folks out….I mean, jeez, there's a free Bloody Mary in it for you!
Before I wrap up this Blog #1, I want to thank all you guys who came out to our Month of Sundays promotional events at the stores! We had a lot of fun infusing Tito's with Bacon and jalapenos and with the whacky garnish bar! There's probably some bacon infused Tito's left at a couple of stores if you hurry! Gonna hit E. 6th today and some more markets next week. Thanks for all your support and especially to our Facebook Fans and Tweetastic followers!
Cheers, Carol

This Tangle is our absolute favourite. Twisty, turn-y, squiggly, and squirmy, this Tangle is not only fun, but a great sensory manipulative. Using the same 18 piece design as other Tangles, this Tangle has the added benefit of highly tactile hairy rubber. Addictive fun, once you pick one up, you will find it extremely hard to put down. Perfect for the classroom sensory box, or work desk, everyone should have at least one! Various colours available.
Age 5+
Choking hazard
As with all products please make sure you assess the suitability of the item for your needs, or the needs of the person you are purchasing for. While we may give the manufacturers age guidelines for use, this often doesn't take into consideration individuals who are extra inquisitive, or may seek sensory input in a different way that puts the product under new conditions, or may have limited understanding of risk and danger compared to others of their age. We would always recommend checking for opening battery compartments, small pieces, magnetic parts, and fillings, and regularly checking for ware and tear and damage. If you are not sure if something will be suitable for your needs please ask and we will do our best to help.

Gigi Hadid wasn't the only Hadid model featured in Anna Sui's show on Monday night. Bella Hadid also made her way onto the runway for the designer's Spring/Summer collection wearing bohemian '70s-inspired designs.
After closing out the show with only one shoe, Gigi needed a little extra support from her younger sister to make sure she didn't tumble like Bella did. Unfortunately, both of the Hadid sisters' tragic walks down the runway didn't cancel each other out and the onlookers got a double dose of bad.
Watch video of the sisters walking arm in arm down the runway below.

D day approaches. After the 21st of June we could be homeless.
Due to me being out of work, we are unable to get a private rental again. We are on the council housing list, but there are very few properties coming up in our area. My health problems dictate the need for ground floor only.
The only properties showing would mean a great increase in travel for my wife, and, at least, two thirds of her wages going in petrol. That is, if the car survives the extra use. It is showing signs of it's age unfortunately. It eats oil like nobodies business and there are signs of the clutch getting worn.
However, it does have walls and a roof.
It seems that my back problem is worse. I have osteoporosis and a vertebral osteoporotic fracture. I also have narrowing of the spinal canal in the lumbar area with the worst being at L5. A bit of a mouthful :)
If it comes to it, I will get a shower fitted myself. My primary concern now is to get a secure living place for me and my wife. We will adapt where necessary.
Nothing much will happen for at least two weeks.
Social services will usually do the adaptation, they are usually slow in getting things done due to budget restraints but your priority should move you up the list.
If it comes to it, I will get a shower fitted myself. My primary concern now is to get a secure living place for me and my wife. We will adapt where necessary.
Nothing much will happen for at least two weeks.
Glad you're digging your heels in, Bob.
If having a shower put into the council flat means you get it then maybe that's the price you must pay but just check with them you are OK to make such an alteration. Keep us posted please.
Downside will be lack of space for modelling.
Our old landlord is starting to get nasty, just because we refused to leave when he told us to.............
Just had a call from the Housing Association, we sign papers on Friday and have the tenancy from next Monday.Phew, I bet thats a relief, you an start to live again now. Good luck with the move.
The best part is that we get the keys on Friday...................
Best wishes for your move, Bob, and I hope all goes well, including the insertion of the keys into the landlord such that he requires the services of a proctologist.Keyhole surgery?
Apologies if I have missed answering anything

It was the last race of the season for many and there was a great turnout. It was fun watching the rowing on the Little Arkansas river. Here are a few images from the event.

Looming food crisis showing on our shelves
Harriet Alexander
April 3, 2011
FOOD security will be the greatest challenge to civilisation this century, with shortages leading to higher prices, political instability and mass migration, warn scientists, farmers and academics.
A policy summit in Melbourne this week will be told that that while Australian farms are capable of feeding the nation until it more than doubles in population, agricultural productivity is in decline and the effects of a looming food crisis overseas are already being felt in rising grocery costs.
The National Sustainable Food Summit will explore ways to boost productivity in the changing environment, including subsidising farmers to employ environmentally sound practices, turning hobby farms into working properties, and buying up farming land in Mozambique.
Advertisement: Story continues below Sharp rises in food prices in 2008 and 2010 demonstrated that supplies were no longer keeping up with demand, said Julian Cribb, author of The Coming Famine, who will address the summit on food challenges.

Chrysler expects to make money in 2012
Perhaps as a way to get a bankruptcy judge to allow its Chapter 11 to go forward, Chrysler says it will make money in 2012.
If a court believes that assertion, it may be easier to believe that the company does not have to be liquidated. A number of creditors would like to see a sale to Fiat knocked down in favor of selling off Chrysler's assets to the highest bidder.According toThe Wall Street Journal, "In documents presented to the court, Chrysler revealed it lost nearly $17 billion last year but predicted it can return to profitability by 2012 if it can exit bankruptcy quickly and form an alliance with Fiat."
The forecast is a fantasy. Chrysler may be able to estimate what its expenses will be in four years, but it can hardly give an accurate forecast of the extent to which the American car market will recover. Even if the recession is long over by then, people have learned that they can keep their cars longer and avoid buying new ones every two or three years.
The court is likely to see through the Chrysler projections and ignore them as an argument for allowing the Chapter 11 to go through.

This paper consolidates a set of case studies which document how pastoralists plan land and resource use in pastoral and agro-pastoral areas of Ethiopia. These case studies are drawn from the regional states of Afar, Somali, Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP), Oromia, and Gambella. They describe not only why, how, and when pastoralists plan, but also the management and governance structures that control planning processes and the later implementation of the plans. By doing this, the paper provides guidance on how best such planning processes can be supported, and how they can be integrated with and/or built on by other planning processes such as those led by government.

Just as it is important to keep a house clean, it is equally important to keep one's business premises neat and tidy at all times.
Read below for an insight!
Your business is perceived according to what your premises look like
A customer unintentionally, associates how your business premises looks to your business image. If you maintain a clean and tidy place that is well organized naturally it will give a positive image of your business to the customers. The customers will also feel more welcome and comfortable at a place that is tidy and clean. This is a natural instinct. Always make sure that you ensure the lobby especially and also the other parts of the office is well maintained and cleaned.
Workers will feel more motivated to work
Workers will feel more motivated and happy to work in good working conditions. According to Herzberg's two factor motivation theory, people view working conditions as a factor that may cause satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Meaning that it is a hygiene factor that is vital to keep the workers satisfied. So, you should always ensure that you give workers a good environment to work in. Only then will they feel happy and motivated to work properly. Whether it is qualified pest control for factories or for business premises, it is equally important that you get it done in both places.
Nuisance of insects and pests
When there is the nuisance of insects and other animals like rats and mice, workers tend to have a hard time working in such conditions. Not only the employees get affected but also the things in the business will be affected. Mice can make homes of the CPUs and they also tend to chew on the wires and the other utensils rendering them useless. Therefore, if you want to be able to have a stress free and peaceful work environment then you will have to invest in a good pest control to help you out. If you are interested about Mosquito Control Services you can visit this website http://www.greencare.com.sg/pest-info/mosquitoes.
Have a separate budget for the constant renovation and upgrading of the premises
It is also very vital that you have a separate budget for the renovation and upgrading of the business premises. It is very important that the building id renovated and updated regularly if you want to be not only appealing to those people who visit your business. But also be one of the best and most suitable environments for employees to work in! As business, you should be listed as one of the best places to work in, only then will you be able to employee the best of the employees and keep increasing your visibility in the market!

Light Feta Cheese
EPIRUS Light Feta Cheese is a white cheese product in brine. It's made of 100% Greek, partly skimmed, fresh milk and its fat content is barely 12%. EPIRUS Light is part of the successful EPIRUS range of products and was produced to cover the need for low fat white cheese, following contemporary consumer trends. It is the most appropriate product for those who want the taste of our traditional feta, without the fat. EPIRUS Light Feta Cheese has only 56 calories and 3.6g of fat per 30g portion while remaining rich in protein, calcium and vitamins. It's ideal as an accompaniment for Greek salads and pulse and vegetable dishes and as an ingredient for pies etc.

China's GDP growth was 6.7 percent in 2016 — a three-decade low for the country, but outpacing most other major economies.
Reforms in key areas of state-owned enterprises as well as financial and social security are also needed in good time.
Wide-ranging measures are needed to regulate property market.
The country is battling against pollution that affects the lives of millions. Xi has urged governments at all levels to remember that "clear waters and green mountains are invaluable assets."
Xi will also face a number of foreign policy choices, including a response to Donald Trump's presidency in the United States.
Despite the challenges ahead, Xi has voiced optimism about China's future.
"As long as our 1.3 billion-plus people pull together for a common cause, as long as the Party stands together with the people and we roll up our sleeves to work harder, we will surely succeed in a Long March of our generation," Xi said in his 2017 New Year address.
"Today, in the Xi Jinping era, China is on track to the central stage of the world," said Zhang Weiwei, director of the Institute of China Studies at Fudan University.
Xi is tasked with multiple missions: leading the Party and people to fulfill the great dream of revitalizing the Chinese nation; cracking the hard nuts of reform across all sectors; promoting the rule of law; and managing a clean, unified and advanced ruling party.
He is also expected to play a leading role in pushing forward globalization, as the West appears to be in retreat in this regard.
Reform is high on Xi's agenda. Hundreds of measures have been designed and released during the past four years to address issues such as urbanization, innovation and the market's role in resource allocation.
As "the main framework for reform is basically established," implementation will be the focus for the coming years.
Supply-side structural reform, which is called by Xi as a "battle" concerning the overall situation and long-term development, will be continued in 2017. Xi believes it is an "inevitable choice" for developing the Chinese economy.
This includes cutting excess capacity in major sectors such as steel and coal, implementing agricultural reforms, boosting the real economy and nurturing new growth drivers. China will deepen supply-side structural reform in agriculture, according to the first policy statement released by the central authorities this year.
The restructuring of China's economy and the upgrading of industry would generate huge new demand.

text: Blessings by Laura Story My music tastes run a wide range of genres and close to the top is Praise and Worship. Several weeks ago, I stumbled upon this song by Laura Story. It speaks to those who are experiencing difficulties in their lives and challenges the listener to ponder them from a different perspective. As a newlywed of only a year, Laura's husband was hospitalized with a brain tumor. The couple faced surgery, radiation, setbacks and extensive physical therapy. Her song, Blessings, asks, "what if your blessings come through raindrops?" If you listen to …Follow this path →

Just For The Record Lyrics
Artist: Fish
Album: Clutching at Straws
Many's the time I've been thinking about changing my ways
But when it gets right down to it it's the same drunken haze
I'm serving a sentence to write life's sentences
It's only when I'm out of it I make sense of this
Just for the record I'm gonna put it down, down
Just for the record I'm gonna change my life around
Just a revolutionary with a pseudonym
Just a bar-room dancer on my final fling
Just another writer paying off my dues
Just finding inspiration, well that's my excuse
Just for the record I'm gonna put it down, down
Just for the record I'm gonna change my life around
Just another empty gesture with an empty glass
Just another comic actor behind a tragic mask,
But I've got no discipline, got no self control
Just a little less painful here when my back's against the wall
It's too late, I found, it's too far, I'm in two minds
Both of them are out of it at the bar
When you say I got a problem that's a certainty
But I can put it all right down to eccentricity
It's just for the record it's just a passing phase
Just for the record I can stop any day

Green Tourism in Toronto
Tourism Toronto
The Green Tourism Association is a unique non-profit organization that is committed to establishing an urban green tourism industry in Toronto. The group works collaboratively with a network of businesses, community and environmental groups, government agencies, heritage and cultural organizations.
The Green Tourism Association is the first association to focus specifically on Ecotourism in the City. The organisation was founded on the belief that people want more options when exploring a city and are looking for a wide range of interesting, new, and off-the-beaten-track, cultural, environmental and heritage options in urban travel.
In addition to providing an online TourGreen Directory of Toronto, the organisation also provides ideas on how visitors can Be a Green Tourist.

Urban Sprawl -- Tips and Tricks
Urban sprawl happens, and it seems to happen quickly. Here in Chandler, Ariz., just outside Phoenix, the population is rocketing past 245,000 citizens and keeping all of us in parks and recreation working double-time to keep up.
So far, we've built 50 parks, four community centers (a fifth is currently under construction), and are reviewing plans for more projects, all with an eye towards keeping our service satisfaction rating at or above 95 percent.
Sound like a tall order? It is, but in trial by fire, we've learned a few things that keep us pointed in the right direction. Maybe these lessons apply in your town too.
Create Synergy
Synergy is a law in nature. Like the geese that take flight in V-formation, enabling the flock to fly longer and faster than one goose flying alone, the City of Chandler's Community Services Department (which oversees Parks and Recreation) strives to incorporate that high performance mentality into each workday, where staff input from every level is encouraged and expected. "We invite pro-active thinking," says Mark Eynatten, Director of Community Services. "The culture inside our department encourages staff to think freely, to question why we're doing something. We need to support each other and all those perspectives to really create that excitement, that 'wow' factor. It can't just come from one person and be truly effective." Creating that synergy in the workplace is a priority for Eynatten, who believes that without it, success is not truly achieved.
Keep an Open Mind
Chandler's Parks and Recreation staff is passionate and experienced. But, they are not above input from outside their circle. "It just takes that small spark," says Recreation Manager Barbara Young. "It can be an idea from staff, the public or a city council member. We will explore it and who knows, it could be great." Taking chances and not being afraid to fail are key components to the strategy. "We will take a risk," says Eynatten. "Saying 'Well, we tried that and it didn't work' isn't acceptable. Even if we tried that, we may try it a different way."
Foster Relationships
Team Chandler includes the community. Because they are the City of Chandler's biggest stakeholders, no project is complete without input from its residents, which has helped cement a positive relationship. "Residents know our public meetings aren't a waste of their time," says Mickey Ohland, Parks Development and Operations Manager. "We go the extra mile and make every effort to ensure that the input they provide us during public meetings is incorporated into the project. The concepts that are agreed to during the public meeting process are identical to those in the final product in the field. We don't change anything without discussing it with them. We are proud of the trust that we have built with our citizens. This trust has been built over time, and we consider it to be priceless."
It's because of that confidence that Chandler residents passed the largest bond referendum in the city's history: $451,435,000 with $81,350,000 of that money going to new parks and recreation projects, including the improvement of existing facilities. "We are not willing to compromise quality," says Eynatten. "We have a very involved and demanding public, and they have helped us raise the bar. We make a concerted effort to provide opportunities for citizen input. It's not a half-hearted effort, and they know this. There is no way that we would take a project forward to the city council where we could not provide information that showed citizen input and support. It's an expected part of how we do things."
Forget the Box
This city has taken "thinking outside the box" to a new level. Yes, there are the standard administrative procedures in place when executing a project, but that is where it ends with the City of Chandler. Here, there is intentionally no step-by-step manual to reference when tackling projects. The approach is as varied as the projects themselves. "We make a conscious effort to not get bogged down in the early stages by the process," says Eynatten. "The process is dictated by the nature of the beast. Having too many processes stifles creativity." Because of the corporate culture established in this organization, there is rarely a concern something may falter. Young adds, "We have creative and passionate staff.They are always willing to help out and get the job done right. There are no concrete boundaries or lines, and that's a good thing."
Continue to Learn
Whether it's keeping up with the latest trends or enhancing one's personal development, education is an important ingredient to the City of Chandler's game plan. But for those in Parks and Recreation, everyday exchanges are an opportunity to strengthen their impact. "The more dialogue we have with each other, the more ideas we produce," says Eynatten. "We can't start something without being truly open to learning from one another. We all have something to contribute. The point when we stop listening is when we should clean up and quit."
Erica Ramos-Guevara works for the City of Chandler, Ariz., in its Community Services-Recreation Division. She can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Digital Video – Encoder & Decoder Overview
Simple Definition of Digital Video
Using the simplest definition, digital video is the representation or encoding of an analog video signals in digital bits for storage, transmission, and/or display. If you have rented a DVD, watched digital cable, DirecTV, or Dish, played a video game, then you have experienced digital video.
Further reading includes Can Objective Metrics Replace the Human Eye? and Can Video Quality Testing be Scripted?
The Encoding Process
An important component in digital video is the pixel, or picture element, which represents the color in bits. The color is a blend of red, green, and blue and is represented in bits. The number of bits is termed the bit-depth (and is usually 8, 10, or 16-bits per component). More bits allow a more precise representation of hue from the red, green and blue colors. Graphics are usually represented in RGB (red-green-blue) format, and TV video is usually represented as Y'CbCr, where Y' is the luminance (or brightness) and CbCr represent the color (pure color with no brightness).
Video is basically a three-dimensional array of color pixels. Two dimensions serve as spatial (horizontal and vertical) directions, and one dimension represents the temporal (time) domain. A frame is a set of all pixels that correspond to a single point in time. Basically, a frame is the same as a still picture.
The number of pixels defines the spatial resolution. Standard television is displayed with 720×480 at 30Hz (576 at 25Hz for PAL) resolution. High Definition television is usually defined as 1280×720 at 60Hz (720P) or 1920×1080 at 30Hz (1080i). This means that standard definition requires 720*480*30fps*24color-bits = 250Mb/s. HDTV is 6 times more data. Thus, the data must be compressed.
Video sequences contain spatial and temporal redundancy. Similarities can thus be encoded by merely registering differences within a frame (spatial) and/or between frames (temporal). Spatial encoding is performed by taking advantage of the fact that the human eye is unable to distinguish small differences in color as easily as it can changes in brightness and so very similar areas of color can be "averaged out". With temporal compression only the changes from one frame to the next are encoded as often a large number of the pixels will be the same on a series of frames (About video compression).
The Decoding (Displaying) Process
Once the video is created, stored, and transmitted, a computer process must open the video and display the original video. This is termed a video decoder. It reads the encoded video file, decompresses and displays it.
The video data must be played in the correct order, with little or no packet loss, and with smooth, continuous timing or essential information will be missing. To ensure video quality, networking companies must provide a good transport mechanism, encoders must produce good picture quality, and the decoder must do a good just of displaying and compensating for errors.
Video Encoding Standards
The first digital video encoding standard was developed by the Moving Pictures Experts Groups and was termed MPEG-1. It was adopted in 1992 and provided VHS quality digital video for CD-ROM playback.
MPEG-1 employs intra-frame spatial compression on redundant color values using discrete cosine transforms (DCTs). The DCT is then further reduced by quantizing (basically reducing the scale) and converting 4:4:4 RGB data to 4:2:0 Y'CbCr, which reduces the amount of color information from 24-bits to 12-bits.
MPEG-1 relies on prediction, or more precisely motion-compensated prediction, for temporal compression between frames. It uses 3 frames to create temporal compression:
- I frames
- B frames
- P frames
An I-frame has no reference to the past or future frames. P-frames are forward predicted frames with reference to previous I or P frames. B-frames are encoded with reference to previous and future I, P, or B frames. The smaller number of I frames compared to P and B frames reduces bit-rate even further.
MPEG-2 was designed to encompass, and to be backward compatible with MPEG-1. It includes support for interlaced video for broadcast TV.
A television broadcast frame is created with two separate fields, a top and bottom interlaced field, with the first line of the bottom field appearing immediately after the first line of the top field. Thus, 30 frames-per-second is actually sent as 60 fields-per-second.
In addition, MPEG-2 includes improved color-sub-sampling, error correction, and improved audio support.
MPEG-3 was designed for high definition television (HDTV), but the MPEG-2 standard scaled to encompass the requirements so this initiative was withdrawn.
MPEG-4 arose from the need to have scalable support for low bit rate applications – streaming over the Internet – and the need for better compression at higher resolutions.
MPEG-4 includes support for object-oriented encoding – combining film, graphics, text, audio, and animation together – and digital rights management. Unfortunately, the standard has become quite confusing due to the high number of profiles.
MPEG-4 was designed with the hope to achieve a 50% reduction in bandwidth compared to MPEG-2, and to introduce object oriented solutions. It achieved the second part, but the reduction in bandwidth was only about 30%. To achieve the bandwidth goals, ISO combined with ITU-T H.26x to produce a new video standard, which is known as MPEG-4 part 10, H.264, and/or Advanced Video Coding (AVC). This new video standard is not compatible with the original MPEG-4 video standard, but uses the same system parameters to achieve objected oriented solutions and digital rights management. MPEG-4 part 10 is computational more complicated when compared to the original MPEG-4 (now known as MPEG-4 part 2 or MPEG-4 ASP) so advanced computer systems are needed to encode and decode this new format.
MPEG-4 is used by many satellite providers for HDTV, is one of the standards for HD DVDs, and is used for Video-on-Demand.
VC-1 originally developed by Microsoft and also known as Windows Media Video 3 or Windows Media CODEC (enCOder / DECoder) 9 is an evolution of the standard MPEG-1, -2 DCT based algorithms. It is an alternative to MPEG-4 part 10, and is used in similar applications.
VC-1 widely assumed to be a Microsoft product is actually owned by a pool of 15 companies, and was accepted in April of 2006 as a SMPTE standard.
Motion JPEG 2000
Motion JPEG 2000 (often referenced as MJ2 or MJP2) is the leading digital film standard currently supported by Digital Cinema Initiatives (a consortium of most major studios and vendors) for the storage, distribution and exhibition of motion pictures. It is an open ISO standard and an advanced update to MJPEG (or MJ), which was based on the legacy JPEG format. Unlike MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and VC-1, MJ2 does not employ temporal or inter-frame compression. Instead, each frame is an independent entity encoded by either a lossy or lossless variant of JPEG 2000. JPEG 2000 uses a wavelet approach to compression as opposed to a DCT.
One legal danger, with respect to MJ2, is that it does not have a clear license. The JPEG committee is working on a royalty free usage model, but it is not in place, yet.
What does this all mean?
Objective Video Quality Metrics that look for blockiness, tiling, spatial, and temporal effects need to understand that different coding techniques create different artifacts. Moreover, many broadcasters (or more generally, encoding / decoding customers) would like to compare different coding techniques before making a buy decision.
To this end, Video Clarity defined ClearView to measure video quality in the uncompressed domain, and to allow multiple viewing modes of uncompressed video. You can measure the video quality of any video sequence regardless of coding technique and view video sequences encoded using different coding techniques.
Subjective Analysis Display Modes (Vertical Split)
To simplify the work flow, any video sequence can be played while capturing another video sequence, thus, combining the video server, capture device, viewer and video analyzer into one unit. By doing this ClearView controls the test environment, which allows for automated, repeatable, quantitative video quality measurements.

It was so misty outside today! It was really strange weather - raining on and off all day long, but by the time I got out of work, it was pure mist! We stood outside for literally seven minutes and Brett and I were both drenched feeling! It was yucky, but kind of left a cool atmosphere in the air. I'm just glad summer is only beginning instead of ending. It kind of felt like it was ending tonight, but I know that I have it all ahead of me. I love that feeling.
It is said that standing on top of this hill, one can see for five miles on a clear day. In the 1860's, Grand Haven had the largest fishing village on the east shore of Lake Michigan. Legend has it that a light would be placed on top of this hill to signal incoming fisherman that they were within five miles of their home. Even while we were up here on this rainy, misty day - tourists were coming to see the view of the Grand River and of Lake Michigan. It's a fun spot to visit!
I'm surprised I don't wear more nautical inspired outfits living in Grand Haven, Coast Guard City, U.S.A. I'm so inspired by my surroundings for my outfits. I'm loving this dress from ThreadSence. It's a hint of nautical, but so perfect for any occasion. It was a little chilly tonight, 56 degrees, so I put a light top over it, but I'm looking forward to styling this again. You can see the back somewhat through the sheer top, but it dips down and is really pretty. I love dresses that show off your back. Also, check out my feature on the Beautiful Stranger.tv blog! Leave a comment on what inspires you about my style! Also, you can get a 10% discount from ThreadSence if you use the code "Selective10". It expires on Sunday, June 13, so hurry up!
