I’ve been scared to write this for so long. Part of me wanted to share it and another part desperately didn’t. Looking at the photo on the left makes me feel terribly sad – at the time this photo was taken (June 2012) I was overweight, unhappy and unfit. But I was too scared to admit it. Or do anything about it.
I had been overweight for the best part of ten years, and had always hid under layers of clothing, and endless scarves. I always had to cover up in any situation and never dreamt that one day in the future... I would be able to wear a bikini whilst on holiday.
Leading up to the holiday I was so anxious about what to wear and what to pack because my wardrobe was no longer ‘mine’. Nothing fitting and worse still I felt a stranger in my old clothing, it was a struggle and I never thought losing weight would mean throwing away my entire wardrobe and starting all over again.
Even though the old photos make me feel incredibly alienated and disgusted, they will always have a purpose. Body image and weight is such a personal issue, and this has undoubtedly been my biggest challenge. I’m not perfect and never will be, I will always be insecure and lack great confidence in myself, but to finally have achieved something I never thought was even possible has taught me that if you want to make a change in your life - there is only you who can make it happen.
To finally be able to walk down the street without a shield of guilt so tightly wrapped around me, to be able to go into a clothing shop and actually enjoy trying on clothes that fit and to have someone tell me I look beautiful and for me to believe it for the first time in my life – it's emotional for me to express into words how much of an impact this has had.
How amazing for you, not the weight loss but the emotions you have from losing weight. I've lost a couple of pounds recently and it's so bizarre being able to wear slightly different styled clothes, throwing clothes away that you never thought in a million years would be 'too big'. I remember throwing a pair of pj's away recently and the fact that something usually meant for slobbing around in, didn't matter how big it was was now ridiculously big was a great mile stone.
I'm glad you now have the confidence you deserve.
Fantastic! I lost 5 stone and had to completely start with a new wardrobe. Even down to knickers being too big. The changes in your head take longer to adjust to, years in my case. I look at old photos and its just not me any more. Its been 14 years now and I hope some time in the future you can feel the same as me and look back and feel proud of what you've achieved.
Good for you girl, I've put weight on since moving to the US (combination of US potions and working from home), I could probably do with loosing weight but I don't know were to start to be honest. You've inspired me to work a little harder at doing something about it.
You look absolutely amazing, you really are glowing!
This is fantastic and I am so pleased for you. You should be very proud of your achievements. It's great that you posted this and have the other photo because it can be a constant reminder of how far you have come. I've had some personal issues to overcome in recent times and, although different from yours, I can relate and I realize how much dedication these sorts of things take. Wishing you the best.
You look Fab!! Can I ask how you managed it? I piled on 3 stone during my time in uni, I dropped 2 of them before my wedding but since then they have inched back on and I just cant seem to get enough motivation to shed them again! And I really want to my size 12 wardrobe is no longer fitting and I refuse to start buying size 14 when everything I have is so pretty and perfectly good clothing, just gotta drop about a 1 stone to get back into most of it nicely!

After a tumultuous couple of weeks in Baltimore, in which protests, marches and riots raged through Charm City following the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray — the Jewish community moved to raise funds, organize volunteers and engage in interfaith outreach. But in Baltimore, which has a complicated, and often fraught, history of Jewish-black relations, there is both a commitment to fight inequality and a reluctance to ruffle long-established relationships with city officials and the police.
The Baltimore Jewish Council, which represents about 55 local congregations and institutions, issued a statement that called for Jews to “stand beside our African American partners to combat racism and economic inequality.” Arthur Abramson, BJC’s executive director for the past 25 years, says his organization “has not hesitated for one moment” to stand up for injustice.
But he was frank about the challenges that remain for Jews seeking to combat racism. “Look, Maryland is a southern state. It was a slave state. In general, it’s not what I would describe as a place where African Americans and Jews sit around and sing ‘Kumbaya,’” he said.
Throughout the decades there have been plenty of instances of Jewish racism and black anti-Semitism in the city. Still, Abramson feels proud of the improved relations the BJC has helped to build over the past 25 years, which he attributes to concerted engagement, dialogue and programs involving the two communities.
Rabbi Etan Mintz, who leads Baltimore’s oldest and continually active synagogue, B’nai Israel, spent much of last week – as protests spread in the city and elsewhere following the death of Gray, for which six police officers have been charged – working with other local clergy.
“It’s a very powerful experience just to listen to people, to pray with people, and to be a presence face-to-face with one another,” Mintz said. He noted what he called the “outrageous reality” of poverty, inequality and mass incarcerations, but also stressed that the majority of police officers in the city are “peace-loving individuals who are trying to protect us on a daily basis.” He is concerned about a phenomenon of “guilt by association” — linking the broader police force to a few bad officers who acted inhumanely.
Jews began moving out toward the suburb of Pikesville in the 1950s and ’60s, and Mintz says the real “nail in the coffin” of inner-city presence was the 1968 riots, where many Jewish businesses were looted and destroyed. The latest disturbances, he adds, have sparked difficult memories for some of his congregants.
Another organization, Jews United for Justice, (JUFJ) has taken a more demonstrably public role in supporting African-American protestors. The group was formed in late 2014 to provide an outlet for Jews, mostly in their twenties and thirties, to engage in social justice work. Many of these activists turned out for Ferguson solidarity events earlier in the year, so it was not surprising to see 30 JUFJ members marching on April 25th in Baltimore with black-and-white picket signs that called for #JusticeForFreddie.
Last Friday, the day Baltimore’s State Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced that the six policemen would face criminal charges, the number of JUFJ members who turned out to march rose to 100.
Marc Terrill, the president of The Associated: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, says he is pleased with the fast response the Jewish community took, and continues to take, in showing solidarity with the Freddie Gray protests. He says that ultimately there needs to be an agenda, both with short-term and long-term goals.
In the short term, the Associated has helped to organize volunteers and raise funds for food, toys and other supplies in order “to rebuild the communities torn asunder by wide-spread looting and vandalism,” according to its website. In the long term, Terrill mentions the need to promote greater access for city residents to health care, job training, education, counseling and mentoring programs, and to contribute to an overall greater push for societal integration.
While the Jewish community is presenting a relatively united front for now, the question of how and if its members will come together around the issue of police reform remains unclear. This community is one of the more politically conservative Jewish communities in the United States. And the established relationships Jewish leaders have cultivated with city and state officials — which have helped ensure enhanced security and support for Jewish groups and institutions — are very important.
The BJC did not come out strongly for any of the police reform bills that were being considered in Annapolis this past legislative season, despite months of organizing and campaigning by local activists. By contrast, members from JUJF, including Rabbi Daniel Burg, who leads an egalitarian synagogue in Reservoir Hill, offered testimony in support of legislation that would alter the Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights.
Jewish communal leaders have all expressed a commitment to tackle the “deeper issues” provoked by the Freddie Gray protests – specifically with regards to economic inequality and poverty. However, whether they will be able to do so without inserting tension into some of their long-standing political relationships remains to be seen.

Paul Haberfellner (Nagarro) left., Werner Huss (Automic) right.
In early 2015, Werner Huss, Senior Director of IT and business automation specialist at Automic, came to a decision that had a far-reaching impact. After a major acquisition, he proposed that all processes had to be standardised, checked, and re-implemented. This meant a 360° CRM implementation was required. Software expert Nagarro came on board and became their sparring partner in this initiative.
It all began with a request from Automic’s Global Support Team. After the takeover, there were initially several separate global support organisations. A major consolidation was required in order to raise the support standard of around 2600 business customers to enable a seamless collaborative process. For Werner Huss, partial or interim CRM solutions were out of the question for a good reason - Automic offers a proven, first-rate business automation product portfolio. Moreover, Automic products are company-specific and consistent. “It’s a given that virtually all employees are in contact with customers and jointly work together on the respective best solution for our customers.”, says Werner Huss. Therefore, the IT Manager reassessed the tool landscape and developed a sophisticated 360° customer view strategy that encompassed all steps, from marketing to sales and order management to post-sales support.
At the time, within the Automic Group, Salesforce was only being utilized as a sales tool. However, previous investments called for an expanded solution. When fully deployed, Salesforce can display countless main and sub processes. Furthermore, in terms of migration, Salesforce is much more attractive compared to other support systems.
However, Salesforce is not a plug and play tool, as highlighted by Werner Huss, "During our initial launch, we experienced some teething problems with our first partner. From this point, we knew that this sophisticated international transformation project had no use for software-cowboys or rigid developers."
Automic's initial plan was to seek an implementation partner able to perform engineering tasks under the guidance of Automic experts. Nagarro, whose software expertise and offshore resources are well known, was then invited to submit a proposal. The first positive response was received even before Nagarro was awarded the contract. "Nagarro presented us with a complete documentation and system description, including an analysis and detailed processing proposals. Thus, we found a partner who not only had professional expertise, but also matched the Automic culture – an essential component to the project’s success." Werner Huss recalls. Nagarro received the extended order to assist Automic with process development, project management, and transfer of ITIL support processes to the new target system in Salesforce ServiceCloud.
Who can provide cutting-edge knowledge and information?
Nagarro is committed to the 360° Customer View IT Strategy. The first goal is to gain a complete and clear view of all relevant customer data beginning with first contact. The process begins with marketing, e.g. through contact at industry events or social networks, followed by proposed options catering to the customer’s needs. This encompasses the entire sales process, from the offer to ordering, and subsequently runs through fulfilment along with license management. Thanks to the ServiceCloud project, this sophisticated support apparatus for customers is integrated into the process as well. Consequently, end-to-end data collection, evaluations, analyses, and an overall view of the requirements of various departments are possible.
Paul Haberfellner, CEO of Nagarro Austria was immediately impressed, "Automic’s work is extremely customer-centric with a seamless CRM process that provides incredible benefits. The consequent solution dynamics and the focus displayed across the enterprise by Werner Huss and his team was impressive."
Nagarro experts were inspired by the strategy and together with the globally distributed Automic project managers, they formed a capable project team.
By June 2015, 14 people in France, Canada, Austria, India and Vietnam were working on the Automic 360° CRM project. For its part, Nagarro assembled a team of highly-skilled multidisciplinary experts, who were well-versed in both Salesforce and license management, as well as areas of customer domain, technical project management, technical consulting, and software development. A bimodal approach that guaranteed both stability and software development was chosen. "As agile software development specialists, we are accustomed to shooting at moving targets, while taking responsibility for system integrity.", explains Paul Haberfellner.
"cultural fit" that transcends international borders..
It took a total of 12 months to jointly plan and test the processes step-by-step, to tighten them with the relevant departments and ultimately transfer them to the new cloud platform. The ‘nocturnal labour offensives’ during system changeover - typical to such migrations, were experienced here as well.
"We originally set out to implement the project in early 2017. That way we would actually finish six months early. If we hadn’t found the cultural fit with Nagarro, this would have been an absolute impossibility." Werner Huss happily reported. With a relatively small integration effort, he was able to significantly increase the implementation rate of financial requirements within the group. Furthermore, with the newly-integrated CRM and support solution, the TCO was considerably reduced. Automic will keep an eye out for further transformation projects they can do with Nagarro given that our successful collaboration has made room for new ideas.

I know it’s over, and place the barrel in my mouth. The gunshot is deafeningly silent, and time slows. I fall back flat, painlessly, and unrelenting coldness slowly consumes my body.

With three international certifications under his belt, lawyer turned sommelier Thomas Ling has spent the past decade honing his knowledge in the trade.
Thomas Ling is the only Malaysian to have the distinction of being a Certified Sommelier of the Court of Master Sommeliers (UK), Certified Specialist of Wine (CSW) with the Society of Wine Educators (USA) and is accredited as an International Bordeaux Educator with Le Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB), France.
Although his passion for wine started out as a personal interest, he soon desired to go further in order to contribute towards raising awareness and appreciation for the beverage. “I decided to equip myself if I wanted to be serious about delving into wine. At that time there were no courses available in South East Asia. So after my work stints in the vineyards, I’d take a few days off and hop over to London to do the exams,” says Ling.
His accreditations complement his experience and knowledge that has allowed him greater access and reach into the international market, making him a much sought after speaker at international wine talks and events.
The most recent one was the Malbec World Day featuring Argentina’s flagship varietal, which included a wine-pairing dinner at Cava. Being a partner at Entwine, a boutique consultancy, Ling also has many opportunities to consult and partner events hosted by embassies, namely that of France, Canada and South Africa to promote their national vintages.

Mesa Boogie V Twin Preamp Pedal in very good condition. Some light wear. Includes manual and power supply.
This is no one-trick stomp box. With three modes, four stages of all-tube preamp circuitry and dedicated outputs for host amps, power amps and recording consoles, this fortress of a pedal is a fully evolved footswitching preamp.
Though its layout is simple, V-Twin is supremely capable of producing pristine clean sounds and delivering purring blues tones and truly outrageous high-gain rock or metal sounds. Two out of three of these dedicated modes are footswitchable, leaving us room to include the Bypass for use with host amps. It even has headphone capability that will embarrass the effects-laden digital wanna be's. Or can be plugged into any power amp - including the PA.
In the studio, either V-Twin is a child prodigy. Engineers and producers alike are shocked when they push up the faders and hear how well it goes direct-to-tape.
Carry V-Twin with you at all times, as backup insurance or for sit-in situations and always get your tone.

I am pretty sure that everyone who has a dog and trims his or her nails has been in this situation before - clip too far and the nail starts to bleed. Right?
There is really no need to panic or feel terrible, because this can happen even to a seasoned trimmer.
Sharing our life with a large dog pack, Jachym and I, regardless of how careful we are, end up clipping some of the nails too far occasionally. We hate it when that happens and do all we can to make the nail clipping sessions as pleasant experience as possible for our dogs.
But when it happens, we have to deal with it and throughout the years I´ve tried and tested many ways to stop the bleeding and disinfect it, until I came to the most effective, safe, non-toxic, painless solution. No spraying that freaks the dogs out, no toxic aluminum based wound disinfection that stops bleeding, nor alcohol based solutions that cause pain (burning and stinging).
As I have done with many health care methods for my dogs and ourselves in the past, I looked for solutions in the Nature and of course found them.
Application of REIKI healing stops the bleeding almost immediately and promotes faster healing, but not everyone practices REIKI. But don´t worry. There is yet another great aid.
I am a firm believer of, and have been convinced of that fact many times, that "there is a plant for everything". And the hero that you can easily reach out for is most likely growing right in your lawn.
Greater Plantain (the entire plant) has some strong healing and other medicinal properties and among them is also the ability to stop bleeding. The wide, large leaves are used for that.
It is a common herb, called "weed" by many, growing pretty much in every garden.
If you decide to use plantain for your dogs or your self, always make sure that it does not come from a lawn treated with herbicides, pesticides and other chemicals. Also don´t pick it alongside roads and heavy traffic areas because of the toxic waste that the plant absorbs.
Take a fresh, clean plantain leaf and carefully wrap the nail in it.
Make sure the leaf is really touching the wound, without applying too much pressure with your fingers.
Hold it on place for a few minutes or for as long as necessary.
Voala, the wound stopped bleeding. Although you can see blood on the paw, when you compare this picture with the first one of these four, you will see the difference. On this last picture, the nail is not bleeding anymore and the blood around is dryer.
In case you have accidentally cut your dog´s nail too far while trimming, and the bleeding is very excessive and unsuccessful to stop, do not panic, put a plantain leaf on the wound, wrap the paw in a clean compress, apply a bit of pressure and take your dog to the vet, grooming service or other pet professional near you, who will be able to help you right away.
If you are not experienced with nail trimming and feel nervous about it, it may be better to start by learning from a professional, before you start trimming your dog´s nails by yourself. There is really no big science to it.
Plantain is amazing. Never used it to stop bleeding before. Like!

USDA recently released several tables previewing the annual long-term Agricultural Projections to 2028 (the complete projections will be released in February 2019). These early-release tables provide USDA’s estimates on the supply and demand for agricultural commodities for the next 10 years and take into consideration macroeconomic conditions, gross domestic product growth, population growth and farm policy, among other factors.
Given the current U.S.-China trade environment -- U.S. Soybean Exports to China Fall Sharply-- a key takeaway from these projections was the impact on soybean and other field crop acreage, soybean exports, soybean ending stocks and, finally, prices.
For the 2019 crop year, USDA projects soybean planted acreage will decline by 6.6 million acres, dropping from a record 89.1 million acres planted in 2018 to 82.5 million acres. If realized, this would be the third-largest acreage decline of all time and the largest year-over-year decline in soybean plantings since the beginning of the Renewable Fuels era in 2007. The decline in soybean acreage is anticipated given the slow pace of soybean exports, the dramatic decline in Chinese purchases, expectations for a nearly billion-bushel-carryout and projections for decade-low soybean marketing year average prices.
With acreage moving out of soybeans, growers are expected to plant 92 million acres of corn in 2019, up 2.9 million acres, and 51 million acres of wheat, up 3.2 million acres. Barley and oats are expected to see 100,00 additional acres planted in 2019. Upland cotton planted area is expected to decline 300,000 acres to 13.5 million acres, and rice acreage is expected to decline 200,000 acres to 2.7 million acres. Sorghum acres are also expected to decline by 200,000 acres, landing at 5.6 million acres. For the eight major crops and Conservation Reserve Program acreage, planted acreage plus CRP acreage is expected to decline 1.3 million acres to 275.1 million acres.
Notable in USDA’s long-term projections: soybean acreage is expected to remain below 2018’s record-high for the next decade – remaining at or below 86 million acres planted each year, Figure 1. The main beneficiaries of the pullback in soybean acres are expected to be corn and wheat in the short-run and corn in the long-run, with corn acres remaining near 92 million to 93 million acres planted over the next decade, Figure 1.
In October, USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates projected U.S. soybean exports at 2.06 billion bushels for the 2018/19 crop year. Going forward, USDA projects soybean exports to increase 1 percent annually, reaching 2.26 billion bushels by 2028 – a lofty goal if better trade relations are not restored with China.
Expecting a combination of lower acreage and continued growth in total use, USDA projects soybean ending stocks to fall from the record-high 955 million bushels expected for the 2018/19 marketing year. Soybean prices are expected to remain flat over the next decade, averaging $9.50 per bushel, Figure 2.
The outlook for U.S. soybeans is increasingly uncertain due to trade tensions with China, the – largest buyer of the commodity. The pace of exports this year remains well below the level needed to meet USDA’s projection of 1.9 billion bushels. Currently, the top buyers of U.S. soybeans include Mexico, Spain, Argentina, the Netherlands and Egypt, Figure 3.
In reducing soybean planted area USDA recognized the headwinds U.S. growers are facing, but the department continues to project growing soybean exports, declining ending stocks and stability in soybean prices. For this scenario to unfold, U.S. soy must find new markets and backfill markets previously supplied by our South American competitors – or quickly restore access to the Chinese market.

Research by NASA on the air-filtering effect of house plants concluded as early as 1989 that they are a powerful means to remedy indoor air pollution.
The first list of the best house plants for this purpose was compiled as part of the NASA Clean Air Study. It researched simple, sustainable ways to clean air on space stations. Under NASA’s controlled conditions, certain house plants were found to remove as much as 87 percent of indoor air pollutants within 24 hours.
The air cleaning capability of plants maintained within a closed living environment goes far and beyond simple removal of carbon dioxide (which humans and animals exhale) and replacing it with clean oxygen. House plants also have the remarkable ability to remove toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene from the air. These chemicals can be a particular health hazard for those living or working in newly built residential homes, apartments, and commercial office space.
It wasn’t until the 1980’s when indoor air pollution suddenly became a health issue that needed to be addressed. The energy shortages of the 1970’s triggered the crisis as more people began to insulate their homes and office buildings. The reason? To conserve energy and lower heating and cooling costs. New construction was built to be especially energy efficient. Prior to that, buildings leaked so much air that sufficient circulation occurred even with doors and windows closed.
“Sick building syndrome” is the term used to describe the symptoms of those suffering the negative health effects of toxic indoor air from breathing outgassed chemicals. It also describes the illness suffered by those living in buildings contaminated by mold. Unfortunately, house plants cannot counteract this contaminant.
In addition to outgassed chemicals from the construction process, commonly used household consumer products play a role in poor air quality. They can contribute to indoor air pollution with carcinogenic xylene, toluene, and ammonia. Primary sources are aerosols and spray cans.
Replacement of these toxic consumer products with green alternatives is the best solution. Sometimes, however, this goal is not possible in a family or roommate situation. Occasionally, people living under the same roof do not share the same environmental worldview. In that situation, the beneficial air-filtering effects of house plants are most desperately needed. This is especially true given that most of us spend 80-90% of our time indoors!
How Many House Plants Necessary to Clean the Air?
NASA researchers suggest that the optimal air-filtering effect is achieved with at least one potted plant per 100 square feet of home or office space (1). One large plant or several smaller ones can be used for a spacious area such as the family room. Either scenario is effective depending on what works best for a given decorating scheme.
It is optimal for the house plant to be potted in a healthy soil mix. Air plants or those growing with roots in water such as bamboo are not as helpful. This is due to additional research which demonstrated that specific plants are not the only living things that can remove benzene from the air. Beneficial microbes in the soil are able to remove it too (2).
Probiotics at work to improve our health once again!
Why would NASA study house plants instead of just going with the high tech solution for space travel: air purifying equipment? For one thing, air purifiers require maintenance. This means parts for when they break down along with periodic filter replacement. And, dirty filters mean garbage which can be a complicated problem to solve in space. In addition, air filters only purify the air. They don’t create oxygen like plants do. Sometimes you just can’t replace what Mother Nature can do – even in outer space!
Back here on earth, air purifiers work fine for ensuring clean, safe air to breath in the home or at the office. From a practical perspective, however, plants are a much cheaper and feng shui approach, wouldn’t you agree?
In reality, it’s probably a mix of air purifiers and house plants that will ultimately do the trick for most people. NASA’s guideline of one plant per 100 square feet can add up to a lot of plants in a hurry! In our home, we have air filters and plants strategically placed to achieve the desired air cleaning effect.
The amazing ability of house plants to clean the air has been apparent to me for many years. I noticed that they were important to indoor air even before I was aware of the compelling research on the subject. This is because the air filters we use have a setting which detects how much cleaning the air needs with an automatic fan speed adjustment. In the areas of our home with plants, the fan speed always seem to automatically adjust lower than those areas without plants!
So which plants are the best for cleaning the air and what chemicals do they remove? The infographic below used with the permission of Barratt Homes illustrates this information in an easily understandable way. It includes helpful pictures of the plants themselves and the care required to maintain them.
What house plants have you had the best luck with in your home environment? I am currently using the Lilyturf and Devil’s Ivy among a few other plants not on this list. I’ve also had very good luck growing the Broadleaf Lady Palm and English Ivy.

Some people will go to great lengths to help animals - and heights.
A video uploaded to YouTube in late October shows a man crawling up through the dust and insulation into the roof from his attic.
"Alright we're going in," he says, and dives into the filthy fluff.
After a few moments in the crevice he reports back to the cameraman, "Alright, I think we got 'em all."
He emerges with a blue bucket. "Alright, let's see what we've got."
The babies, who are so young their eyes are still closed and their umbilical cords are still attached, were assumed to be orphaned since the mother was nowhere in sight.
So the men who would go to great heights for the good of animals rushed them to a rehabilitation center.
"Another successful rescue," the man, still a little dusty, concludes.
Learn what to do if raccoons are squatting in your house here.
