Cupcake Trees are a type of garden tree that produces the homegrown fruit, Homegrown Cupcakes. These trees can be grown in a pet's front or back garden by purchasing a normal tree seed a the Garden Shop and planting it.
The cupcake tree was introduced on June 8, 2009 as one of the first trees that could be grown using the new garden feature in Pet Society.
After planting, it will take 72 hours for the tree to reach maturity. Afterward, the tree will begin producing fruit, one cupcake at a time, randomly. A pet can have up to three total cupcakes on the tree at once.
Homegrown Cupcakes from this tree can be used to fish at the Pet Society Pond. They are the only item that can catch the Cupcakefish. But note that you can also catch other fish with a homegrown cupcake (like the sardine).
This amazing image was made by Gabu of Pet Society Club. His complete garden thread can be found at: http://www.petsocietyclub.com/gardens.html

Family-run commercial printer Gowise Print hopes to win more trade finishing work after installing two Renz machines, an AP360 auto-punch and a Mobi 500 wire-binder.
The three-staff Norfolk business spent more than £40,000 on the used kit and added both machines last week to a FKS PrintBind KB-4000 binder bought around a year ago from Duplo.
Partner Nick Gorvin said: "Here in Norwich we've seen print and supply companies go down like nine pins and we are fighting for an ever-shrinking pool of print work.
"Following the closure of the last trade wire-binding finisher in Norfolk, the need for wire-binding seemed to be uppermost and we have taken the plunge following the advice of the team at Renz UK on these two machines to go along side our PUR binding capability."
Gorvin said the addition of wire-binding had been well recieved by local printers and he was hopeful that by adding it as a trade service to other printers, as well as his own clients, it would help drive sustainable growth and give Gowise a local USP.
His parents, Ken and Joyce, launched Gowise Print in 1983 and the company runs a Heidelberg GTO, a two-colour Speedmaster and a Xerox J75 digital machine. Turnover is about £250,000.
"Most of our work is short-run colour jobs, but in two years' time I would expect a 50-50 split between print and finishing. I want to keep turnover stable with good-quality work."
"The two new machines are very versatile, do more or less everything we need without breaking the bank, and fit well with all the cutting and creasing on our litho presses.
"I'm not interested in going after other printers work," Gorvin added. "I want to be a friend to local printers rather than a competitor."

[slides in/singing rug]
Hey beardlovers. So today I wanted to... hang... hang on a second. [moves tongue around in his mouth] Got something in my teeth. [Roots around in his mouth some more with his tongue. Mumbles. Then spits an explosion.] Whew. I shouldn't have been chewing on exploding pens earlier. Actually, it's probably okay. They help fight the gum disease gingivitis. And they turn your cold sores into just sores.
[Wheezy Waiter beard intro]
You guessed it. Today is EXPLOSION Wednesday. Trial run. To see if I wanna make it a thing officially or not. Though it has been a very brief trial run, I know some of you are growing impatient. Just know that in the future...
[shows comment by gelleighbean:] You never follow through with anything. [The anything in the comment is spelled with many Gs]
I do so! I totally follow through with blah blah I'm done with this sentence. I'll even finish your entire comment. [shows comment again with an arrow pointing at the Gs that he overpronounces] Anything-guh-guh. Do I have bad breath? [breathes into his hand and sniffs it] I should brush my teeth. [gets up and walks towards the bathroom. Stops suddenly in the kitchen.] Cookies? Hmm. Maybe I better have a cookie before I brush my teeth for several reasons. [turns to another camera] One. It will taste bad after. [A list begins onscreen. Text onscreen: 1) Taste bad after] Two. It will immediately brush off the cookie resin promoting proper dental hygiene. [2) Brush off cookie] Three. It will something something I forgot. [3) ] Cookie time! [starts to open cookies] Ooh, that's a brand. People are gonna think that's a sponsor but it's not a sponsor. I'll blur it out later. [It's not blurred out. They're Oreos. Eats cookies while making nomming sounds.] Needs milk. [Opens fridge. Looks down.] Oh no! Cookies on the floor. Better sweep that up so I don't get the... There's the broom and the dust thing. [Sweeping] Sweep, sweep. I hate that last bit that doesn't get in the dust... I'm leaving it. Whatever. [Goes to throw out cookie he just swept up.] Oh, trash is kinda full. Better not throw this in there yet. [Puts dustpan down on table. Goes to grab the trash bag.] Grab the trash. Tie it up. Not. [Carries the trash bag, untied, part of the way down the stairs.] Ooh, kinda chilly. I better get a coat. [Puts trash bag on step and runs back up steps. About to enter his apartment, he turns to camera. In the apartment behind him, the fridge door is still open and the dustpan is still on the table:] There haven't been many explosions in this video yet, have there? In EXPLOSION news, [shows headline] Pearl Harbor attacks remembered 70 years later. Hmm. Seems a bit insensitive to make light of that. Too soon. I'll come up with something later. Whatever. [Enters his apartment]
There's my coat, right where I absentmindedly tossed it. [Picks coat up off floor.] Ooh, this would go better than blue jeans instead of black jeans. To the hamper! Leave that there for now. [Throws coat back on the floor. Walks to hamper. Tips it over. The fridge door is still open, by the way. Grabs jeans from clothes that have spilled out of hamper. Starts to put them in washing machine.] What am I doing? This is clone's work! [Walks to cloning area door. Enters the cloning area. Closes door. Buzzing sound. Craig exits.] This door handle's wobbly. Screwdriver.
[A clone exits. He's super short. We don't see him from waist down.] Hey! You only made half of me!
[Craig, who's got a cabinet door open, presumably looking for screwdriver:] Shut.
[Top-half clone:] Shut up?
[Craig:] Affirma
[Top-half clone:] Affirmative? You're not finishing your words.
[Craig:] Col.. frig do o mus shut or.
[Top-half clone:] Cold and must shut the fridge door.
[Craig walks up to the fridge to shut door. He steps on cookie crumbs and looks down. He babbles. Sounds like.] Oh. Cru shou sha mu wa. [Doesn't shut fridge door but heads for sink.]
[Top-half clone:] Crumbs on shoes. Must wash.
[Craig runs water in sink and lifts his leg and puts shoe in running water. After a moment, he babbles again. Sounds like:] Ah ra wa nay ha pay. [Leaves the sink with water still running.]
[Top-half clone:] Running water makes you have to pee. I don't have that problem. [Looks down at the bottom half of body that isn't there.]
[Craig runs past overturned hamper and open washing machine to the bathroom. Lifts lid on toilet.]
[Top-half clone:] Uh, you didn't shut the door all the way. Shut the door. Oh! Oh, now you're going! [looks away] Okay. Oh god. [sneaks a peek] Now you remembered you didn't brush your teeth? And now you're going to... OH! You're still going! You're going to the toilet! Ugh! Oh god! I'm not cleaning that up! No! Oh... oh god! [covers his face and cries]
[Wheezy Waiter shadow outro with yet another outro theme of Craig singing:] Wheezy Wai... Ow... ow... hangnail... ow. That's probably good enough.
[Winker:] EXPLOSION! [Winks (ding)]
[Craig comes out of bathroom brushing his teeth:] Beardlovers, we are so close to our goal of ten thousand dollars to help end youth homelessness. Go to dowhateverittakes dot org. Link in the doobly-doo. Please donate. Also my band Driftless Pony Club is playing a show on Saturday the 10th. Info in the doobly-doo. [looks at Top-half clone] What are you looking at?
[Top-half clone has his hand in the air blocking his view of Craig. He looks away, disgusted.]
[Craig:] My pants are undone, aren't they?
[Top-half clone, still not looking at him:] Uh huh.
[Craig:] Hang on a second. I gotta spit. [Turns and goes into the bathroom] I haven't showered yet today. I'll spit after I shower.

Child Protection Accountability Series
The Child Protection Accountability Series is an Initiative of Child Rights International to ensure that government institutions, child protection agencies and organisations work together to ensure that children are able to access and enjoy their rights. Each month, Child Rights International will publish reports on the issues that affect the wellbeing of children in Ghana and propose the way forward in addressing these issues. As part of CRIs mandate to ensure that all children are provided their rights in order to grow to develop their full potential, Child rights International has instituted the Child Protection Accountability Series to ensure that child protection issues are addressed quickly and appropriately. The aim is to guarantee a social safety net for children in Ghana.
Previous Issues Addressed
Observational Report on Streetism
Observational Report on Streetism
Streetism has gradually become one of the most widespread child protection issue (social protection) in cities across the country such as Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale. An observation undertaken by Child Rights International at bus stops within the central parts of the Greater Accra region revealed that on average there are 2 to 7 children at every traffic light either begging for alms, assisting the elderly or disabled to beg for alms or engaged in some form of trading or service during school hours.
The phenomenon where children of school going age are found roaming the streets during school hours continues to increase at a steady rate thereby drawing attention to the increasing number of children who are unable to access their rights to education, safety, quality healthcare among others. It quite alarming to watch these children run around with no caution, at the risk of being knocked down by moving vehicles. A night drive through Accra reveals how these children, after a tough day of seeking to make ends meet, sleep on street pavements, in front of stores or anywhere they deem safe, at the mercy of mosquitoes and sexual predators. These children also stand the risk of being recruited into dangerous vices such as armed robbery and prostitution among others. Sadly, this prevalence in streetism is being normalized by communities and parents thus causing more children to troop onto the streets.
In an interview with some of these kids, they disclosed that, they were engaged in such acts due to the need to feed themselves because of their parents' inability to fulfill this role, to gather funds for their education or just following their parents' instruction to beg for money. It was also discovered that, most of these children comprise of migrants from rural areas who move to the city with their parents in search of financial sustainability or greener pastures. These children are either found selling, begging for money or assisting physically challenged persons. Despite basic education being free, some these children miss school or dropout because they have no uniforms or can't affords books or basic learning materials.
It is important for measures to be put in place to ensure that children are not deprived a happy childhood. If children are to develop their potentials to the fullest, then it is important that they are cared for, have good health, access to basic needs and the right to grow up in a safe and protected environment.
With the high rate of streetism in Ghana, it is important for all concerned ministries such as the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, the ministry of Interior and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ministry of education among others put efforts together to address the menace. We recommend that the appropriate ministries take action to return non –Ghanaian children that beg on the streets back to their countries of origin. This can be done by engaging the embassies to facilitate their safe repartition. Ghana may also decide to recognize them under Ghana's social safety net in order to access rights as any Ghanaian child within our social protection system. With regards to Ghanaian children, the ministry must embark on a social enquiry to identify the location of these children for the purpose of integration and rehabilitation.
We ask that the government, and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to rise to this call and strengthen the social support systems in order to get these children off the streets and reintegrated into families. We request the Ministry of Education to investigate and resolve the additional costs imposed on children in spite of the Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education as this is a major issue that drives children out of the classrooms and into the streets. It is important to note that the large number of children on the streets will undermine the purpose of the free SHS which is meant to get as many children as possible educated up to the senior high school level.
Child Rights International entreats the public to return to the communal system of child raising where caring for children is a communal responsibility and not just the responsibility of the child's parents. We trust that by this means, some of the problems that push children onto the streets can be addressed and children can be safeguarded from the social problems that hinder their well-being. Child Rights International is alarmed by the increasing number of children on the streets and calls on all concerned institutions to act with urgency in order to curb the rise in streetism.
Child Labour in Galamsey
Ghana became the first country to have its efforts against the worst forms of child labour peer reviewed by ECOWAS. Since 2009 Ghana has made efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labour however, children in Ghana continue to engage in the worst forms of child labour in agriculture, including cocoa, 'galamsey' and in fishing.The 2013 Tulane report revealed a total of 1,770,577 children from cocoa growing areas engaged in work. This shows an increase in numbers as compared to that of 2009 which was 1,678,782. In 2011, the National Programme for the Elimination of the worst form of child labour in cocoa developed and validated the Ghana Child Labour Monitoring System, a holistic and dynamic process for eliminating the Worst Forms of Child Labour.
With the use of the Ghana Child Labour Monitoring System, CRI has undertaken two surveys in its operating areas to help identify the children at risk of child labour. The survey areas are Asunafo South, Ahafo-Ano North, Ahafo-Ano South, Atwima Mponua, Asutifi North, Asutifi South and Bibiani districts. The study was meant to systematically collect, analyse, and report on child labour/protection issues in the communities as well as within the supply chain. The first survey was done in selected communities under 3 districts and the second in 5 districts (with respect to a specific farmer group). In carrying this out, two tools; tool 1 and tool 2 of the GCLMS were adopted in realising this objective. Tool 1 was used in creating a community register, which included information on names of household heads, and their members, date of birth, age, and occupation of every member of each household. In addition, is information as to whether children are in school or not and the type of work children in these households engage in.The use of this tool was to obtain information on all children in the community and to enable the tracking of activities and movements of children in the community. The community register/tool 1 was to ensure that the application of Tool 2 leads to the classification of children at risk in the selected communities.
In the first three districts which included Asunafo South, Ahafo-Ano North and Atwima Mponua, data was collected from 3,971 households with a total of 10,939 members out of which 5,449 were males and 5490 were females. Out of the total members in the 3,971 households, 5,082 children were identified of which 2,816 are males and 2,266 are females. Out of 1,972 children between the ages of 5 to 17 interviewed, 117 were found in child labour and 112 are involved in hazardous work.
The second survey which was done with respect to the households of a particular farmer group was carried out in Ahafo-Ano North, Ahafo-Ano South, Asutifi North, Asutifi South and Bebiani districts. Out of the selected communities under these districts, 806 farmer group households were interviewed. In all, 4,455 members were found in the 806 households out of which 2181 were male and 2,274 were female. A total of 1,547 children were identified under these households. Out of the 987 children between the ages of 5 to 17 interviewed, 765 are involved child labour and 742 are involved in hazardous work.
These type of work children within the ages of5 to 17 are involved in all the above districts include 'galamsey', cocoa farming, domestic servitude, street hawking/begging, cattle herding, fishing and carting of heavy loads/head pottering.
Per ILO Recommendation 190, work that possibly falls under the definition of Hazardous Child Labour is: work which exposes children to physical, psychological, or sexual abuse; work underground, under water, at dangerous heights or in confined spaces; work with dangerous machinery, equipment and tools, or which involves the manual handling or transport of heavy loads; work in an unhealthy environment which may, for example, expose children to hazardous substances, agents or processes, or to temperatures, noise levels, or vibrations damaging to their health; work under particularly difficult conditions such as work for long hours or during the night or work where the child is unreasonably confined to the premises of the employer.
In the past weeks, the government has been working intensively to bring 'galamsey' to a halt, which we believe is a good cause and we urge government to fight this cause to the end. However, in doing so we have to give attention to Social and Child Protection issues in the mining areas. The study carried out by Child Rights International showed that children are also involved in 'galamsey' which is a threat not only to their lives but to the country as well since we stand the risk of losing great leaders and increase in children's vulnerability to diseases due to the pollution of the environment. In each of the households visited in the mining areas, there is a family member who is engaged in illegal mining, 30 children were identified working constantly in 'galamsey', other children provide one services or the other with over 2,092 children at high risk of child labour which include 'galamsey' in the 8 districts.
In carrying out measures to halt 'galamsey' we believe that government must also look at the social protection implication on the people involved including children and put measures in place to draw the affected into our social safety net.
We propose that government takes the appropriate steps to investigate the condition of children and households in the family in order to support their welfare if so affected. At the end of the investigation family and children identified must be put under maintenance and rehabilitation programmes for effective integration into society. The identification of such children can enable the government to withdraw them and develop remediation plans for the families.
In so doing, informal and formal community structures who play a role in child protection such as the traditional system, Child Protection Committees, School Management Committees, Social Welfare, DOVVSU among many must have their capacity built in ensuring that these children live in a safe environment free of anything that infringes on their rights.
Calling on government to make social protection programmes known in the handling and the stoppage of galamsey activities in the country.
We urge on all Ghanaians to support the government in eradicating this menace and creating an environment worthy of living for all.
Child Protection in Conflict and Violence
In the past few weeks, the country has been grief-stricken following the death of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama. His death has brought pain not just to his family, but the entire country. As an organization that advocates for the wellbeing of children, we deem it necessary to discuss mob injustice and its implications on victims especially children. Our investigation points to four major child protection issues during and after this cruel act.
Exposure of children in the media
The excessive exposure of the children of the late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama is an infringement on their dignity and privacy. This act on social media has sentenced the children to perpetual remembrance of what took place in this country on the 29th and 30th of May 2017. Sharing images of the incident as well as images of the children may give opportunities to some amoral persons to keep the footage and try to share with the children at a later time. Exposing these children in relation to the incident may affect their social interaction and access to their rights in future. In accordance with section 2 (2) of the children's act 1998, all actions must be taken in the best interest of the child and therefore we plead that we desist from sharing of the children's images as it may have some repercussions on their future development.
Children as witnesses
Our investigations reveal that some children in Denkyira Obuasi witnessed the lynching Major Maxwell Adam Mahama at the full glare of the community members who carried out the act. this has exposed the children to a high degree of violence which may become traumatic or unforgettable for some children. Secondly, the manner in which investigations were conducted where women and children were camped while investigations took placecould be imbibe fear in some children. It is important to know that this incident occurred at a time when children were preparing to write the Basic Education Certificate Exams and considering the nature of the incident and how the town was thrown into chaos, most children wrote the basic education certificate exams without soundness of mind. The incident and its aftermath makes it necessary to assess the impact of this incident on the emotional or psychological well being of children andmust be taken through rehabilitation program where necessary.
Children as Perpetrators
Our attention is also drawn to the arrest of a 12-year old boy who allegedly partook in the murder of the late Major Maxwell Adam Mahama. In our criminal justice system, a child is responsible for criminal conduct at age 12. the justice system requires that the trial of persons between 12 and 18 be done within the juvenile justice system irrespective of the severity of the crime committed. Therefore we expect to see the trial of the 12-year old boy in the juvenile justice system however, our investigation cannot locate the whereabouts of this particular child although he has been arrested for more than 4 days. In spite of the painful nature of this incident, justice must be served in accordance with the Juvenile Justice System where the rights of the child is respected, services provided and dignity upheld. If the child is found guilty, we expect systems to work for rehabilitation and reintegration.
Children as victims
As a result of this incident, parents have fled the community leaving their children unattended or in the care of guardians. It is important to note that such situations make children more vulnerable and expose them to all forms of abuse. Abandoned children loose access to their rights to education, healthcare, shelter and even protection. What is required in such circumstances is for the district assembly to provide services to ensure the care and protection of these children.
We take this opportunity to appreciate the state and Mr. president, H.E Akufo -Addo for setting up a fund for the care of the family (mother and the children). We also appreciate him for supporting the fund with GHC 50,000. We also commend former president John Dramani Mahama for committing to support the family.
This incident should be a wake up call for us as citizens to desist from mob injustice and to ensure that the privacy and wellbeing of children is a primary consideration in any situation. A cultured society breeds cultured children to advance positive course that will increase the greater good of society.

Drama and Creative Writing has a dynamic postgraduate research community. Our postgraduate students are involved in a wide range of innovative research, from the production and study of performance, to creative writing, including novels, short stories and poems.
I am currently writing up my PhD which is an AHRC funded collaboration with New Perspectives Theatre Company. My research looks at the UK rural touring sector as an area of theatre practice which has been overlooked academically, with a particular focus on rural audiences; places of performances; and the rural touring distribution model, which relies on a network of rural touring schemes and thousands of volunteer promoters. My research also looks at the possibility of more formally innovative work for this sector, and through the collaboration with New Perspectives I have been able to make and trial two pilot pieces of work for rural audiences: Something Blue which was an interactive show set at a wedding take place in the village hall; and Homing, a performance which took the entire village as its setting and included a walk around the village accompanied by both audio recordings and live actors.
I previously completed a Research Masters at the University of Nottingham - both this and my PhD were under the supervision of Dr Jo Robinson and Dr Gordon Ramsay. Outside of my research I am a director, dramaturg and theatre-maker, with a particular interest in women's voices and new writing. More information about my directing work is available at www.tillybranson.com.
I am in the first year of my PhD at the University of Nottingham. My research looks at how dystopian narratives are represented in contemporary British theatre. Dystopian novels use detailed, non-oral description to explore the implied flaws of their imagined societies. By contrast, dramatic dystopias use spoken language, stage settings, and performance techniques to achieve similar but qualitatively different analytical effects. My research wants to account for these differences and give dystopian drama its place in scholarly criticism. I am interested in contemporary texts and performances from the 1990s up to the present day which reflect on border demarcations, and which depict self-contained communities and their relations with the outsiders trying to enter them. Some of the playwrights I am looking at are Philip Ridley, Caryl Churchill and Edward Bond.
I was awarded my MA degree in English and American Studies at the University of Nottingham in 2016. I am now supervised by Dr Gordon Ramsay and Dr Nathan Waddell. Outside my research, I have been involved with the Postgraduate New Theatre since I moved to Nottingham. I have acted in several plays and made my debut as a director in the last one, a production of Fin Kennedy's How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found.
I am currently in my second year of PhD studies at the University of Nottingham under the supervision of Dr Spencer Jordan and Thomas Legendre. My research revolves around the idea of hybridity as applied to literature. I see the text as a melting pot in which genres, cultures, and identities can merge. I am interested in the way the act of writing can create junctures. My creative process involves merging factual and alternative historical realities of Britain, as well as revealing and conjuring links between peoples, settings, and cultures inside the text. My current focus is on the juncture points in which gothic, steampunk, and fantasy meet, as well as the cultural hybridity of Latin-Americans living in Great Britain.
I began studying English when I was seventeen and have never stopped since. I earned my BA in English from the University of Costa Rica. Then, I continued with a Master's degree in English Literature from the same university, where I also began teaching. In 2014, I came to England to undertake an MA in Creative Writing at Lancaster University, and presently the University of Nottingham has given me the opportunity to continue my studies in creative writing.

I am currently in the first year of a PhD in Creative Writing under the supervision of Dr Spencer Jordan and Professor Peter Stockwell. As I am undertaking a PhD in Creative Writing, my research consists of a creative component and a critical component. In the creative component I plan to explore themes of escapism, depression, fear of change, and loss of control using magical realism to represent emotional and psychological distress. In the critical component my intent is to analyse how effectively literary linguistic frameworks can be used in the creation of literature to achieve the creative goals, reduce distance between the author and reader, and increase emotional impact.
I did my undergraduate Masters at St Andrews University before moving to South Korea, where I worked for over ten years mostly at universities as a lecturer of English language and literature. During my time in Korea I completed a postgraduate Masters in Literary Linguistics from the University of Nottingham before moving here in 2017 to begin my PhD studies full-time.
My PhD looks at performance of Shakespeare's plays in provincial England from 1769-2016. I'm affiliated with the British Library as well as the University of Nottingham, and my research has made use of the Library's extensive collection of theatrical playbills as well as those from local archives all over the country. I am particularly interested in the degree to which regional theatres are able to resist the influence of London and Stratford-upon-Avon, and the role that Shakespeare productions can play in the development of local and national identities.
Over the course of my PhD I have contributed to the British Library's upcoming exhibition Shakespeare in Ten Acts, and have written a chapter for the accompanying exhibition catalogue, as well as a little book called The Bard in Brief: Shakespeare in Quotations. Both will be published in 2015. I've also acted as a consultant for the BBC on their digital project 'Shakespeare on Tour' and will be appearing on various local airwaves talking about all things Shakespeare in March 2015.

I am currently in the second year of my AHRC Midlands 3 Cities funded PhD. My research looks at how the old and New Worlds of seventeenth-century England were connected via a shared discourse and frame of reference through which space was understood and represented. Within this I look at how identity, specifically gender identity, was closely related to conceptions of and interactions with space and place. I look at a variety of source material, including pamphlets, letters, sermons and drama. I am interested in how these various sources of information on old and New World spaces circulated simultaneously to build multifaceted, overlapping identities for the different spaces they represented. The theatre holds a particular interest as a unique space in which these various, often conflicting ideas were brought together, displayed and interrogated for a wide range of audiences.
I also co-ordinate the interdisciplinary Landscape, Space, Place Research Group at the University of Nottingham, and am in the process of expanding this network across the Midlands 3 Cities Universities to bring together academics with similar research interests. I previously completed my degree and MA at Nottingham Trent University, and spent several years working at the British Library before beginning my PhD.
The aim of my research is to explore the ways authorial intent is challenged during the creation, development and destruction of fictional characters. I will consider how the details and descriptions provided by writers in their work can be interpreted and adjusted by other individuals involved in the creative process, such as readers who envisage characters subjectively in their minds or actors who bring a physicality to prose descriptions. Each individual contributes towards the creation and development of fictional characters, but can often challenge the writer's original intent. My research will take the form of a self-referential novel told from the point of view of my protagonist, Lily, who begins to question whether she is in control of her own destiny or is nothing more than a fictional character in a predetermined narrative.
I previously studied at the University of Nottingham for a BA (Hons) in English and a MRes in Film and Television. I have also achieved a MA in Creative Writing from Nottingham Trent University. I have always been passionate about writing and have had several short pieces published, including the poem 'Family Tree' in the anthology Bringing it Home, a short screenplay entitled 'Inspire, Expire' in the student-produced anthology Restless Minds and several informative pieces that were published by the online magazine The National Student.

Owners of mehran are also increasing day by day ..... ! What does that mean ?
o bhai main kiun stop karun ga, owners to mehran k b barh rahay hain this is not a valid reason for a car to be flaw less.
To bhi company se lgwa lo masla kya he. Or kya in chezo k bagher car nhe chalti.
bhaion wagon ke electrical pump ki awazon ka koi hal nikla ya hamain us ke sath jeena parhy ga. azeeb wagon hai engine ki awaz ni par pump ki awazain bahot hain
Ab ye company ke policy he. Me to is me kch nhe kr skta. By the way if u change the wiring of other brands of vehicles they also kick out ur warranty.
Ab ae na line pe [emoji14]
Its mean people r still in love with it and its nt a flop car [emoji41]
Bhaioun @saad2014 ne man liya k wagon r is not a flawless car
bhai full pechain se dain is ki pics zara
Same ans to u as i gave to huzaifa
Dosro ka to pta nhe lekin me ne aise koe awaz feel nhe ke
what a lame answer. Does the company provide such accessories ? and if they do, they ask insane prices. the price of fogs for wagon r is even higher than city and corolla
no they don't, the first thing owners of corolla and city do is get a security system installed in their rides and that never spoiled the warranty
Bhi ap to car use kr rhe he ap ko to pta ho ga k bahir k aksar mechanic aise he k short cut use krte he or bera gharak kr dete he. Is lye company ne ye warranty check lgaya he. Baki genuine chez hr company ke costly he. Ab ye or bat he kese ke mehngi or kese ke sasti
you can install as long as wiring is untouched and fog lamp and security system can be installed without cutting wiring BTW wagon r has imoblizer so no need for security system
Agr genuine woring ko na chero to ps ke warranty void nhe hoti
Bhi wagn r he ap k pas khare na kr de. Achi trha dekh lena.os ke jo bhe shakal he. Hme psnd aye to le he na. Ap ko kya problem ho rhe he
mera cousin keh raha tha k wagon r ki roof bahot light sheet ki hai jab is ko barish main le ke road pe niklo to is ki roof bahot taiz awazain nakalti hai jese koi teen baja raha ho:)
Wow what a music of rain.
Ok bhi log. Ab subah office bhe jana he. Phir baat ho ge. Ye behas to khatm hone wali nhe he. Allah hafiz

One of the many things that you need to know about gold is that this is one way of preventing depreciation. One of the many things that you need to know about dollar in today's time is that it has already depreciated. What is bound to happen is that the gold will be sold for a cheaper price if the dollar will depreciate even more.
The majority of the countries across the world as a matter of fact are dealing with financial crisis. And even the strongest countries are not exempted from this. It has been found out that one of the reasons as to why they are dealing with this kind of issue is simply because the moment that they print their currency, they do not think of supporting it with gold. The value of the currency will decrease in the international market if it is not supported with gold. This should be something that should be avoided for the reason that people will have the tendency to lose their trust on the currency and thus avoid it. The situation will actually just be worsened if the country will still continue to print its currency in this manner.
As a matter of fact, in today's time it is considered as a good investment for you to be investing in gold. And this is as a matter of fact something that has been agreed upon by the different financial experts all around the world. To become rich is as a matter of fact one of the many varied reasons as to why there are people that invest in gold IRA. In order to make sure that their hard earned money and they will be making use of it in the future is actually one of the many reasons as to why there are others that invest in gold IRA. There are others as well that buy silver. In addition to that, a lot of the financial experts and the economists have already said that in the near future there will be an economic disaster.
Short Course on Tips – Getting to Square 1
The most basic thing that you should know about the gold investments is the fact that they are more preferred. One of the many major reasons as to why it is always considered to be a good decision to invest in gold is because it has always served as a reliable currency and as a store of value even during the earlier times. And even though the economy was already experiencing inflation, it was gold that was the only one that maintained its value.
Investments – Getting Started & Next Steps
Another thing that you need to know about investing in gold is that this is great for asset allocation purposes. Gold is one of the many ways for you to be able to diversify your assets. The reason behind this is because most of the time gold is negatively correlated with bonds and equities.

Descendants of Walter Melvin Sexton and Esther May Morrow of Kalispell, MT
I am looking for the oldest living descendants of Walter Melvin Sexton and Esther May Morrow of the Kalispell, Montana area.
I possess hundreds of photographs from the combined Sexton and Morrow family photo album, beginning with David Mathieson Morrow and Sarah E Travis near what appears to be the turn of the century and continuing through what I believe to be the late 1940s to early 1950s.The photographs are taken in the Kalispell, MOntana area and may extend to the Spokane, Washington area.
The photographs are unlabeled, yet are comprised of an extensive number of candid photos of their daily life through several generations.I am looking for assistance in identifying, where possible, the persons depicted in the photographs.

Another weekend, another mile track, but not just another race for Busch North Series in Dover's MBNA All American Heroes 150 this Friday.
DOVER, Del. (September 17, 2002)-- Look at the Busch North Series, NASCAR Touring schedule, and you would think the mid-September run would be a easy stretch for the crews who work in the shops. Back-to-back one-mile tracks, New Hampshire International Speedway in Loudon, N.H., and Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. Just touch up the dents and dings from Loudon, change the oil, and load up for the run to Dover.
If that was the case, defending Busch North Series champion Mike Olsen would have been home watching Monday Night Football instead of burning the midnight oil at his shop in North Haverhill, N.H. In fact, the one-mile length, and the fact that the Busch North Series is showcased on a NASCAR Winston Cup weekend, are the only things the two events have in common. The radically different configurations of NHIS and Dover offer contrasting challenges in car preparation as well as race strategy and driving technique.
The MBNA All-American Heroes 150 is scheduled for this Friday afternoon, September 20, as the leadoff event in a weekend tripleheader at Dover International Speedway that also includes the Busch Series, Grand National Division on Saturday as well as the Winston Cup Series on Sunday. The Busch North Series teams will open the facility for the weekend with practice at 10:45 a.m. on Thursday, September 19, followed by Bud Pole Qualifying at 2:30 p.m. and final practice at 4:30. Race time is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, following Winston Cup qualifying.
The SPEED Channel cameras will be on hand to record the MBNA All-American Heroes 150 for telecast on Monday night, October 28.
In simplest terms, New Hampshire International Speedway is a low-banked track, where drivers brake, turn, and accelerate at each end of the speedway with a ride down the straightaway in between. Dover, by contrast, is a high-banked momentum track where the turns and straights blend together. Taking time from his labors as part of the team which prepares and maintains the Little Trees Car Freshner Chevrolet, Mike Olsen talked about the requirements of each. "It's completely different. We're running the same car, but it's a completely different package for Dover than for Loudon, suspension-wise, brake-wise, just about everything," he explained. "Dover takes a much stiffer spring because of the speeds and the high banks. You don't use any brake at all at Dover. At Loudon, we use softer springs with a lot of brake. The only similarity is that they're both a mile long."
Another difference between NHIS and Dover really is black and white: the former, like most speedways, is paved with asphalt, while the latter is surfaced with concrete. Mike Olsen doesn't view that as a critical difference, though. "For us, it's the configuration of the track, not the concrete," he stressed. "We have nothing else like it, nothing like the high banks. You feel the g-force pulling you down into the seat."
Dover's high speeds bring another aspect of a race team's game plan into focus when it comes time to pit. A gas-and-go stop under green at Dover is an almost sure ticket to the lapped-car lane. "The pit stops are going to be crucial, particularly if you have a green flag stop which could happen," Olsen noted, adding "A bad pit stop will cost you more compared to the guys who are up to full speed on the track."
Finally, there's the difference in familiarity to separate the two superspeedways. NHIS is like a home game at Fenway Park for the Busch North teams, while Dover is like a road trip to Camden Yards. The series veterans have raced at the flat track in mountainous New Hampshire two or three times a year for over a decade. While it's been repaved and recontoured, it's still the track where all but the rookies feel at home. The high banks in the Delaware flatlands, however, remain a daunting challenge to all- different, demanding, and far from home.
One team will unlock Dover's secrets, and they'll be found celebrating in victory lane as the sun sets on Friday afternoon.

Showing results for: North America
North America is the northern subcontinent of the Americas covering about 16.5% of the Earth's land area. This large continent has a range of climates spanning Greenland's permanent ice sheet and the dry deserts of Arizona. Both Canada and the USA are major food producers and some of the largest food exporters in the world. Industrial farms are the norm in North America, with high yields relative to other regions and only 2% of the population involved in agriculture.
This paper highlights the lack of inclusion of food consumption in the climate change policy debate. It presents an analysis of how changing from beef to beans could help achieve GHG reduction targets in the US.
This research from USDA's Economic Research Service looks at trends in consumer demand for organic food since the 1990s and developments in organic production.
This paper shows that a huge amount of nutrients is wasted each day in the US food supply, and that much of this waste includes important nutrients that are currently under-consumed in the US. It is one of the first studies to calculate the nutritional value of food wasted in the US at the retail and consumer levels, shining a light on just how much protein, fibre and other important nutrients end up in the landfill in a single year.
Based on a case study from Oakland California, a new report by Friends of the Earth US finds that schools can make lunches healthier and more climate-friendly while also saving money— by reformulating menus so that they are more plant centred, and contain less (and better) meat and fewer dairy products.
This report, by the US based NRDC (The Natural Resources Defense Council) finds that the per capita diet related carbon footprint of the average US citizen decreased by 10% between 2005 and 2014, driven by a 19% decrease in beef consumption.
This is a commentary by Carbon Brief's Leo Hickman on the latest executive order by US president Donald Trump that we copy below, for the original post -see here.
A new study submitted to us by an FCRN member, highlights a final report from a four year, multi-disciplinary research project conducted by the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (located in Richmond, BC, Canada).
Utilizing a model derived from literature on environmental justice overlaid with multiple scales of agriculture, Environmental Justice and Farm Labor provides key insights about laborers in agriculture in the United States. It addresses three main topics: (1) justice-related issues facing farmers and laborers on farms; (2) how history and policy have impacted them; and (3) the opportunities and leverage points for change in improving justice outcomes.
This paper looks at link between diets, health and climate and particularly the effects of adopting healthier diets in the US on the risk of disease, health care costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
This paper provides an overview of dietary guidance for pulses, discussing their nutritional composition and health benefits as well as the evolution of the way in which the USDA's dietary guidelines categorise pulses. The paper was published in a special issue on The Potential of Pulses to Meet Today's Health Challenges: Staple Foods in the journal Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
With milk prices in the USA dropping due in part to a fall in demand from Chinese middle class customers, large stockpiles of cheese now lie waiting.
This paper by researchers in the US and Australia reports the findings of a long-term field-trial-based investigation into the effect of elevated carbon dioxide concentrations (CO2) on soy yield and drought tolerance. Their findings challenge the widely-held belief that crop yield will be increased by elevated CO2 (the so-called CO2 fertilisation effect) both because of increased photosynthetic rate, and because of lower susceptibility to drought: it has long been assumed that in higher CO2 conditions, stomatal conductance will be lower, leading to slower water loss from the leaves, slower water uptake from the roots, and consequently more moisture remaining in the soil for longer, thereby sustaining crops in limited rainfall.
Researchers in California conducted a life cycle assessment to model the climate change mitigation potential of consuming produce grown in household vegetable gardens as opposed to those from stores.

If i am assuming right then you want to set the employees pictures on the help desk? if yes then AFAIK it is not possible that you import the pictures in HD. However you can set the employees pictures by going in to People view and then click on employees picture, then browse and apply. Is that you want? please let me know

Setting the Bar in Derby City by Katie Parrish, Crane and Rigging Hot Line
Crane Operators showcase safety and skill at championship event in Kentucky
In late September, North America's top crane operators convened at the Crane Operator & Rigger Championship in Louisville, Ky. to bettle for the National Champion title and the grand prize of $10,000. A challenging course, limited visibility due to ratio, and an unfamiliar crane made the event one of the toughest for the 14 crane operators competing in the event.
Setting the Bar in Derby City by Katie Parrish, Crane and Rigging Hot Line
In late September, North America's top crane operators convened at the Crane Operator & Rigger Championship in Louisville, Ky. to bettle for the National Champion title and the grand prize of $10,000. A challenging course, limited visibility due to ratio, and an unfamiliar crane made the event one of the toughest for the 14 crane operators competing in the event.
Skills Championship celebrates Best Crane Operators, Draws attention to Skilled Craft Shortages
Crane Institute of America Certification LLC, (CIC), along with Event Partners and Co-Sponsors, awarded prizes to three of the nation's best crane operators, following the Crane Operator & Rigger Skills Championship on Sept. 29, 2015. The competition was held during the opening day of the 2015 International Utility and Construction Equipment Expo (ICUEE) in Louisville, Ky.
Launched in 2011 to bring awareness to the importance of training and certification in the qualification of crane operators, CIC designed competition standards and scoring methodology to assess operator skill and precision in load handling.
The 2015 Championship may have been the toughest challenge to date. The 14 contenders faced an extremely tight course setup and a near constant deluge of rain. Despite the course and weather challenges, which simulated real working conditions, 2014 returning Champion Kenneth Bowyer of ALL Crane Rental successfully defended his title. Bowyer, who has 20 years of experience, earned a score that was better than any other recorded by more than 100 operators who competed during the 2014-2015 season. As the 2015 Champion, he received a $10,000 prize, sponsored by Crane Institute of America, Cranes 101, Crane U, North Dakota Crane Certification, and Viant Crane.
First runner-up was Eric Gaut of CraneWorks, Birmingham, Ala., who received a $2,000 prize, and second runner-up was Jose Villanueva of Bay Ltd., Corpus Christi, Texas, who took home $1,000. All three operators also received custom belt buckles from event partner Crane & Rigging Hot Line.

Celebrating this generation, looking ahead to the next
During the Championship awards dinner honoring the competitors and winners, guest speaker Dr. Jeanne Fredericks, Director of Education for the Associated Builders and Contractors of Indiana/Kentucky, acknowledged the intelligence, mental alertness, precision, and ability to handle stress that it takes to be a skilled crane operator. She challenged the 14 operators who competed in the Championship to ask themselves, "How will the world be different because I am here? What legacy will I leave?"
"By 2018, it is predicted that the industry will see tremendous shortages of crane operators." She cited stats from the home states of the three winners. "In Florida, the expected shortage is 8,538. In Alabama, as many as 11,000 will be needed. And in Texas, the number is 5,780," said Fredericks. "We do a tremendous disservice to young people when we force them into higher education as their only option. We need to educate parents about the well-paid, rewarding jobs in construction. I urge you to get involved as a craft professional with your local middle and high schools to bring that awareness. Become an instructor and practical examiner. Help others to become certified," she said.
"OSHA's requirement for crane operators to be certified is no more than two years away. The shortages that Dr. Fredericks refers to don't include operators already in the workforce who remain uncertified," added Jim Headley, CEO of CIC. "The industry needs every available operator to be properly trained and qualified by their employers, and that includes achieving accredited, third-party certification," he said. "CIC offers employers an affordable option to validate the knowledge, skills, and abilities of their operators, riggers and signal persons."
U.S. sets example for training and certification
The Cranes & Derricks Construction standard released by OSHA in 2010, along with the newest ASME B30 standards, set a high bar for crane operator and rigger qualification. Employers in other countries have taken notice. "During the ICUEE show, a number of international visitors representing construction, inspection, crane service, and manufacturing were looking for training and certification options to implement in their companies," said Eduardo Carcache, Sales & Marketing Manager.
"ICUEE's claim as an international show held true. Employers from Mexico, several South American and European countries were looking for training and certification programs to assess skills of operators and riggers. CIC's crane operator certifications are designed to assess an operator's knowledge and skill by type of crane as well as capacity, said Carcache.
Future updates to CIC's rigger certifications will include a practical exam for the Rigger/Signal Person Certification, and a revised practical exam for Master Rigger, an advanced certification. In addition, CIC is piloting tower crane operator certification programs for fixed jib, luffing jib, and self-erecting types of tower cranes.
About Crane Institute of America Certification

Other programs include certifications for operators of service/mechanics trucks, articulating boom cranes, and digger derricks. CIC serves construction, utility and power generation, underground construction, manufacturing, and heavy industry. Learn more at www.cicert.com.
About the Crane Operator & Rigger Championship
The only crane operator recognition program of this scale in North America, the Crane Operator & Rigger Skills Competition underscores the role training, certification, and experience plays in safe crane operation. Since its debut in 2011, the annual competition provides a venue to showcase the industry's best crane operators.
The 2015 Championship was hosted by CIC and Crane & Rigging Hot Line. Sponsors were: Altec Inc., Columbus McKinnon, Hirschman Automation & Control, and DICA Outrigger Pads. Grand Prize sponsors were: Crane Institute of America, Cranes 101, Crane U, North Dakota Crane Certification, and Viant Crane Service.
Championship Crane Operator Finalists Represent Contractors, Crane Rental Companies
Crane Institute Certification of America Certification LLC (CIC), Crane & Rigging Hot Line magazine, and Altec Inc., jointly announce the finalists for the 2015 Crane Operator & Rigger Skills Championship, to be held Sept. 29, 2015 at the International Construction and Utility Equipment Expo, in Louisville, Ky.
Fourteen crane operators, who previously qualified for the Championship at regional competitions, competed for a Grand Prize of $10,000. The Championship was held in the Altec display area using an Altec AC45-127S crane. During 2014 and 2015, CIC Practical Examiners partnered with local sponsors to hold regional qualifiers to select the operators who would advance to the championship.

Meet the Finalists
Paul Aldridge, Paul Aldridge, a CIC-certified operator employed by AME Inc., Fort Mill, S.C., tied for second at the Southeast #1 Regional in Rockingham, N.C. With zero deductions, his score rivaled those of past Championship competitors. He acknowledges that the stress associated with crane operation, and advises those considering this as a career that the job takes extreme patience. He has 20 years of experience. Aldridge is sponsored by Crane Industry Services, M&P Specialty Insurance, and Superior Cranes.
Tim Beck of SNS Rigging, Maxbass, N.D., placed second at the Minot, N.D. Midwest #1 Regional. "A lot of people don't understand what goes into being a crane operator," said Beck, who has been operating cranes for about five years. Asked how his work prepared him to perform so well at the competition, Beck said: "It's fast-paced work moving rigs and you have to be precise. We do a lot of critical lifts with two cranes where the operators must work together." Beck is sponsored by North Dakota Crane Certification.
Kenneth Bowyer, the 2014 returning Champion, works for ALL Crane Rental of Florida, Tampa. "The public hears about it when we make mistakes," he said, "but they don't realize how rarely that happens. We spend weeks every year on continuing education at ALL. This event demonstrates the high caliber of skill operators must acquire in order to do the job right."
Rudy Cardona, a Supervisor for Bay Ltd., Corpus Christi, Texas, placed second at the Southwest Regional. He has more than 30 years of experience. He advises all newer operators to put safety first on the job. "A lot of the newer crane operators don't have enough hands-on experience. They need to start at the bottom as rigger and then move up to operator," he said. For people wanting to become crane operators, Cardona recommends first getting a Rigger Certification and working for at least two years in that capacity "to learn how weight works when being handled, ground conditions, etc." Cardona is sponsored by Laguna Crane Services LLC and B-C Equipment Sales Inc.
John Clodfelter, Superior Cranes Inc., Rockingham, N.C., tied for second at the Southeast #1 Regional. With zero deductions, his score rivaled those of past Championship competitors. "I love being out there in the cranes. It's like being in your own world," he said. He's been operating for more than 30 years. Clodfelter is sponsored by Crane Industry Services, M&P Specialty Insurance, and Superior Cranes.
Mitchell Cornelius from Birmingham, Ala., qualified during the Midwest #2 regional hosted by Crane Institute of America in Louisville, Ky., the day prior to the Championship. He began operating cranes about 15 years ago, but no longer does so on a daily basis. Today, he's a trainer for Crane U. When asked how crane operation today has changed over the years, Cornelius replied, "Obviously the technology has changed, but safety is the big one. It's a major departure from the lax approach safety had in the past."
Eric Gaut, project manager for CraneWorks, no longer operates cranes on a daily basis, yet scored just a few points behind the first place finisher at the Southeast #2 Regional in Birmingham, Ala. Gaut acknowledged that one of the difficulties of the job is ever-changing standards. "It's hard to keep up these days with all the rules and regulations changing. It's hard to remain compliant, I feel like there always some new standard my guys need to meet," he said. Gaut is sponsored by Crane U and CraneWorks.
Jeff Halland, was one of nine operators employed by Borsheim Crane Service, Williston, N.D., to compete in the Midwest #1 Regional in Minot, N.D. He finished in first place. Halland, who has 10 years of experience, is the Manager of Borsheim's Minot office. When asked about the most rewarding part of his job, he said, "I get to work with a great crew of guys every day." Halland is sponsored by North Dakota Crane Certification.
A 40-year veteran of the crane cab, Fred King of Superior Cranes placed first at the Southeast #1 Regional in Rockingham, N.C. With zero deductions, his score rivaled those of past Championship competitors. He began learning to operate cranes when he was a teenager working with his stepfather, a dragline operator. He stressed the importance of proper hands-on training. "You cannot learn good operation in the books," he said. King is sponsored by Crane Industry Services, M&P Specialty Insurance, and Superior Cranes.
Tyler Mayo, a CIC-certified operator employed by BGM Inc., Hardwick, Vt., is a returning Championship qualifier from the Northeast Regional in North Oxford, Mass. He competed but didn't place in the 2013 Championship at ConExpo-Con/Agg. He has nine years of experience. Mayo is sponsored by Cranes 101 and Wood's CRW Corp.
Chris Pavino placing first at the Southeast #2 Regional in Birmingham, Ala. He has 10 years of experience and currently works for rental company CraneWorks. Among the joys of crane operation as a profession is that "every day is different," said Pavino. "I'm challenged every time I'm out there." Pavino is sponsored by Crane U and CraneWorks.
Jesse Pettit, a 2012 Champion and 2014 Finalist, makes a return at the 2015 Championship. A U.S. Army Veteran with more than 10 years of experience operating commercially, Pettit now works for Marco Crane & Rigging, Phoenix, Ariz.
Jose Villanueva, a CIC-certified operator with about 12 years of experience, placed first at the Southwest Regional in Corpus Christi, Texas. He works for Bay Ltd., and is a returning Championship qualifier. He competed but didn't place in the 2014 Championship at ConExpo-Con/Agg. This season, his score was among the lowest of all qualifying operators and is on par with numbers posted at previous Championship events. "Compared to just 10 to 15 years ago, safety is stressed more, which is a great thing," said Villanueva. Like many operators, he is asked to operate a variety of types of cranes, dictated by the needs of the job. He was drawn into the profession after spending time working in the oil fields. Villanueva is sponsored by Laguna Crane Services LLC and B-C Equipment Sales Inc.
Randy Warner, an operator for Building Crafts, Inc., started his career on the Florida coast at 19 years old and now resides near Cincinnati, Ohio. He qualified during the Midwest #2 regional hosted by Crane Institute of America in Louisville, Ky., the day prior to the Championship. He said the most rewarding part of his job is "going home at the end of every day knowing that is was a safe day for everyone on the job site."

Unwrapping the bar of chocolate, I broke off a large chunk and pushed it into my mouth. Before I knew it I'd demolished the whole bar. Shrugging, I simply threw away the shiny foil packet – and started on another.
I felt the sugar coursing through my body and felt good. But once the binge was over, and I looked around at the pile of empty wrappers, I felt ashamed.
But food was the only thing that helped. After being sexually abused when I was younger, I was still struggling to escape the horrific memories.
Somehow, eating food until I was sick made me feel better. It made me feel numb, and I would do anything to silence the disturbing memories playing round and round, in a loop in my mind.
Mum encouraged me to eat and seemed pleased that I had such a healthy appetite. "I've made you your favourite," she'd say, plating up a large helping of creamy lasagne.
I wolfed the huge portion down greedily – but what mum didn't know, was what I did next, to purge myself of the guilt.
"Thanks mum," I smiled, putting my plate in the washing-up bowl. "That was delicious."
Then I quietly took myself upstairs, locked myself in the bathroom – and threw it all up. It was a routine I'd been repeating for some time and I'd noticed the bingeing sessions were taking their their toll on my body.
By age 17 I was 14 stone and with a BMI of 31.6 I was officially classed as obese. Looking in the mirror, I would burst into tears at the sight of my wobbly reflection. All I could see was my flabby tummy and huge thighs.
The abuse was over, but although I'd gone to police, there was nothing they could do. My abuser had gotten away with it, and I was left feeling completely helpless.
I hadn't chosen to be abused, and I reasoned that dieting would give me back the control I so desperately craved.
I dreamed of being thin, like models in magazines and decided I'd do anything to slim down. Convinced that losing weight would make things better and help me cope, I began an extreme diet in April 2007.
I consuming just 100 calories a day. I spent hours obsessively checking how many calories was in what I ate. Then I read about the latest craze – the baby food diet, followed by Jennifer Aniston.
Maybe this is the answer, I told myself as I headed for the shops.
Finding myself in the baby department, I was amazed. Each jar of pureed fruit or vegetables contained between 40 and 100 calories. I ate just one jar day, and soon the weight began falling off.
Friends and family were quick to compliment me, and I enjoyed the attention. I could feel my bones protruding through my skin and instead of being disgusted I was excited.
It spurred me on, and I quickly forgot what normal food was like. The baby food all tasted the same, but I didn't care – I just wanted to be skinny.
Soon though, friends' compliments turned to concern, and they begged me to stop the diet. Walking around college I would attract strangers' stares as my clothes failed to conceal the bones underneath.
After six months Mum noticed something was wrong and she became suspicious of my eating habits.
"What happened to my hungry girl?" she said, pushing a big helping of shepherds pie towards me. I pushed it away, and refused to eat.
"I'm not hungry," I said. But Mum was having none of it. I'd always wolfed down her home-cooked meals, it didn't stack up.
She forced me to clear my plate, but later that evening I went to the toilet and vomited it back up. Other times, when she wasn't looking, I'd stuff food up my sleeves and throw it away upstairs.
Keen to catalogue my extreme diet, I photographed myself nearly every day, and felt a rush seeing the bones sticking out of my body.
I tried hiding my fragile frame in baggy clothes, but my bony wrists and gaunt face revealed the truth.
By October 2007 I'd given up hiding it, and even ate baby food in front of Mum and Dad.
"Try a few vegetables," Mum pleaded. But I refused, and left the table. From my bedroom upstairs, I could hear Mum crying. It made me feel guilty, but I couldn't help it. I was obsessed.
The following month, in November 2007, Mum took me to the doctors, who weighed me. I was just 4st 11lbs.
"You have anorexia nervosa," said the doctor, matter-of-factly. "You need specialist help."
Mum burst into tears and I just sat there in silence. I didn't want help, because I knew that meant eating. But they didn't listen and that Christmas, I was sectioned.
I had to be force-fed through a tube, and doctors had to restrain me as I fought back. I hated the thought of any food going into my body.
For the next three years I was in and out of hospital. Even there, I learnt new tricks to lose weight, like hiding food and taking diet pills.
Then, in November 2010 I collapsed in the street. In hospital the doctors told me I'd had a heart attack. I was only 20-years-old.
Finally, what I was doing to my body really hit home. I was shocked and for the first time I was confronted with the reality that I was killing myself.
I finally realised I didn't want to die.
"I want to get better," I told Mum, and agreed to be readmitted to hospital. There I was put on a strict 1000 calorie a day eating plan and my weight slowly crept up.
In April last year, weighing eight-and-a-half stone, I was discharged. I destroyed my scales and went out with friends to celebrate for the first time in years.
Now, I'm at university studying art, and I'm in a long-term relationship. I don't know if my fertility has been affected, but my body will never be the same again.
I take 12 tablets a day because my stomach has been so badly damaged. Every day will be a struggle but I'm confident that I'll maintain my healthy weight.
I went from obese to anorexic in well under a year – but now I'm determined to beat my body issues for good.
