“Sabotage” by Robert Earle

When they made New Orleans, Tommy said he wanted to go to college as soon as he could—and they needed to stay put so he could say he was living under a tarp behind a shut-down canned fish factory. That was why a college would want him.

“I’m a minority.”

“You’re a white kid,” Maybeth said.

“No, the homeless are a minority. We’re discriminated against. That’s my pitch.”

“Ball one.”

He tried Tulane. They brushed him off: go take these tests, fill out your application, write your essay, send it all in. A scholarship came last, if at all. Next, he wanted her to go with him to the University of New Orleans.

“Why should I?”

“Help me figure things out.”

“I don’t know anything about going to college.”

“Neither do I. Come on.”

She worried things would change between them if he got in, but she could see how determined he was. She said all right.

They found the Privateer Enrollment Center in the Earl K. Long Library of the University of New Orleans. Tommy explained he needed a full scholarship and work on campus or some kind of extra grant so he could get his degree and go to law school. The girl at the counter said they could join a campus tour in an hour. Tommy said they’d already walked around. He wanted to talk to someone who could make a decision, yes or no. The girl said it didn’t work like that, but he could talk to a counselor when one was free.

Ms. Agnes Hoppy, the counselor, wore tortoise shell glasses and had a purple needle through her hair bun. She settled into her chair and let Tommy tell her the story of how he ran away when he was seventeen, how he made it to L.A., how he met Maybeth, how L.A. sent them back to where they’d come from—him to St. Louis, her to St. Paul. So, he went to St. Paul and found her. From there, they took off first to Memphis, now down here. He needed a scholarship and a campus job since he still lived on the street and didn’t have any money. But that meant he’d add to the university’s diversity.

Ms. Hoppy took this in like she was watching a TV program different than any she’d seen before. “Why law school?”

“I want to defend people who can’t defend themselves.”

“What about you?” she asked Maybeth, the gray-green-yellow spindles in her eyes tightening around her pupils.

“I’m just here with Tommy.”

“You don’t plan to go to college?”

“I don’t have a G.E.D.”

“She could get one on-line same as me,” Tommy said. “Just doesn’t want to.”

Ms. Hoppy turned back to Tommy. “Where are you staying?”

He told her about the canned fish factory.

“You’ve been there how long?”

“Maybe a week.”

“Coming from Memphis?”

“Why stop in New Orleans?”

“I guess because you can’t go any farther without getting wet.”

Maybeth said, “He’s a great skateboarder, but he doesn’t know how to swim.”

“Is that true, about skateboarding?” Ms. Hoppy asked.

“I don’t even have a board right now.”

“Do you miss it?”

Maybeth wondered if Ms. Hoppy was fucking with Tommy, but Tommy pretended like she wasn’t. Yes, he missed it. He missed going nowhere all over the place, he missed being weightless up in the air.

“And the camaraderie of other skateboarders?” Ms. Hoppy asked.

“I guess you could put it that way. If you don’t know where they are, you don’t know where you are, either. That puts you in danger you might sabotage each other.”

Maybeth saw in Ms. Hoppy’s widening pupils that Tommy had passed his college interview when he took in the word camaraderie and responded with the word sabotage. Meanwhile, she felt no camaraderie at all in this office, in this building, on this campus, which put her in danger.

Ms. Hoppy said she needed to consult with someone. When they were alone, Tommy asked Maybeth how it had gone so far. Maybeth said Ms. Hoppy probably went to get security to throw them out. Tommy said come on, how had he sounded, what about his pitch? Maybeth said people on the street wouldn’t be on the street if they fit, and they didn’t fit here, either. But what about him saying he planned to be a lawyer and defend people who couldn’t defend themselves? Tommy asked. Maybeth said if he became a lawyer, maybe he’d turn out like his father, leave his family, cut off their money, and move to another city. Tommy said no, he wouldn’t. He was part of an economic minority fighting back, that was his value, not skateboarding. Why did she want to know about skateboarding?

Maybeth kept what she really thought to herself. “Come on, let’s go. She just walked out on you.”

“No, let’s play it, like you always say.”

That was what she said. Wherever they were, the only alternative was to be hustling somewhere else, so what was the hurry? But she turned that against him. She said if he got into college, he wouldn’t ever be somewhere else. He’d have a schedule, he’d have classes, he’d have to study, write papers, take exams. He’d be trapped.

They looked across the snaky plants on the windowsill toward the buildings around the Earl K. Long Library. Tommy said he wished they could see some water and boats. What if that’s where they ended up, living on a boat? She said she’d rather live in a trailer again, the Mississippi irritated her, the way it kept following them. He said it wasn’t following them, they were following it, and the water by the university wasn’t the Mississippi, it was Lake Pontchartrain. He went back to talking about living on a boat, being Tommy again, and it amused her, listening to him speculate about what kind of boat it could be and what they’d do on it and where they’d take it, technically not on the street anymore, probably with a gas refrigerator. Gas was the kind of refrigerator you had on a boat. How did Tommy know that? He hadn’t known anything when he showed up in L.A., too scared to be smart.

Ms. Hoppy came back and said that Tommy could take the ACT test right now. If he got a good score, he could fill out his application, no essay needed.

“But my essay might be my best part,” he said.

“We can do this without it.”

“What about money?”

“We’ll get to that. First things first. What about you, Maybeth? There’s a workstation for you, too, if you want to use it.” Ms. Hoppy didn’t have a bun anymore. Her brown hair was loose down over her neck. She looked younger and friendlier, as if while she was gone, she had decided to swallow the both of them.

“I told you I don’t have a G.E.D.”

“If you got a high enough ACT score, we could work with that.”

“No thanks.”

Tommy said come on.

Ms. Hoppy said why not just give it a try.

Maybeth said she’d just walk around outside until Tommy finished. That upset Tommy—when she went walking around in L.A., sometimes she didn’t come back for days—and she knew it upset him, but everything about the University of New Orleans upset her. She felt like she had no idea where she was. She felt like Tommy and Ms. Hoppy were the pair.

She went outside and headed toward the lake, big as the ocean but without waves, only a watery shrugging along the shoreline, sailboats here and there, and some speedboats you couldn’t live on, and some fat dark boats with long poles and big winches on the stern for fishing. Maybe she was wrong. Maybe she’d rather roll with the Mississippi out toward the delta instead of parking on that lake. But then what? Islands? She didn’t want to think about islands. Her on one. Tommy here.

A cool breeze was blowing. The sun drifting west was turning the sky a peach-tinted blue. She didn’t like that. She didn’t like anything about New Orleans. When it wasn’t gaudy, it was rotting.

She sat down on the grass and leaned back against a palm tree. She knew she’d made him feel bad and wondered if he’d screw up the test on purpose and come out looking for her with that disappointment in his face he always carried around in his chest, threatening to surface when something else didn’t work. It was what she wanted, not him defending people who couldn’t defend themselves, the two of them defending each other, not sabotaging that.

Photograph is best Timing is perfect

Excellent shots you have captured there not easy at all great one :)

We do run into these little characters in South Florida but I never knew what to call them, -- we have confused them with orioles that are Black & Gold too.

These are Orioles:

I usually see an Oriole once a year. It always seems to be just passing through.
The store I go to for bird seed sells jelly feeders for Orioles. I do not have any jelly feeders. That may be why the Orioles I do not see Orioles during the summer.

Have a great day!
Steem on,

Very nice and cute bird, perfect colour combination, good photos sir, thanks for sharing.IMG-20180729-WA0003.jpg

Love goldfinches! :) Thanks so much for this delightful photography.

Nice photography!!
its cool!!

Beauty. Just saw one this morning. :-)

I have seen more House Finches this summer than American Goldfinches.

American Goldfinches are very striking this time of year.

In a month or so their color will start fading as we move into fall in the northern hemisphere.

Have a great week!
Steem on,

Thanks for the info on G. Finches. The one I saw was very bright yellow.

cute little bird very good photography sir, thanks for sharing.

Sorry for my earlier comment, my bot detected that this has a high potential to trend, I would be interested in it and picked something that amounts to "I don't understand it enough to say anything". She's a work in progress. Anyways this was excellent, I love photo blog posts like this. I'll work on her tonight and help her understand these types of posts better.

She did an excellent job pointing me here though!

What did you not understand?

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Have a great day,
Steem on,

Hehe, thanks for your patience. You were chosen by a custom bot I wrote that picks out stuff I might like and that has a high probability of trending. She gives you an upvote and a quick comment to attempt to kick you over the goalpost. But she doesn't understand photo heavy content and rather than not say anything at all, she posts what amounts to a call for me to come look quickly.

I'm detailing her development on my own blog.

Congratulations to you... I am impressed with the creativity you have shown writing/using such a bot.

Steem on,

Thank you for the wonderful comment. I am delighted.
I honestly believe that personal AI agents that do not require google or facebook snooping are the future.

Steemit alone has entirely too much content to be able to parse it all. Following doesn't work so well because of the amount of accounts that end up abandoned or sold.

So having your own bot, that is able to find stuff that suits your tastes is the way to go. Bonus points if the bot is able to find underrated content like yours and give it a little push.

I'm super excited to release her code, once I know she won't fill the comment boards with spammy looking useless comments.

Things like photo heavy blogs are especially a challenge. She doesn't have the ability to see the photo, let alone interpret what it might be. Her development thus far has been strictly about natural language processing. But she picked up on the fact that I like pretty photos anyways because she sees there's an image link there. She just doesn't understand what the link is. So she's really trying to say "I know Sara likes things like this, but I don't understand what it is and therefore I have no context to say something insightful".

I have some ideas on how I might compensate for her lack of vision (mainly giving her some sort of rudimentary vision using image classifiers), but there is a dollar cost for that kind of processing power and right now I just don't earn enough either from upvoting and curating or in my day job to make that financially attractive. So I'm stuck explaining the very odd comments she makes everytime she sees a photoblog I might like.

Again thanks for your patience!

I am not sure if this helps with the photos your bot discovers, but here is what I do. I use tags in my photos. This allows discovery of the photos by Google when people are searching for particular images. For example, my sunrise photos always contain the tag, "sunrise".

If you need help earning on SteemIt, here are a few tips for my blog posts:

  • I do not self-upvote immediately, I try to wait about a day to let people vote on my blog posts. My upvote then helps those who voted before me to earn a bit more of a curation reward.
  • After my self-upvote, I use bidbots to increase the reward for myself and the curators. The amount I use on the bidbots is related to the amount of time I spend on the blog post and prior rewards.
  • And finally, I upvote all meaningful comments on my blog posts. I typically do not upvote redundant comments or comments from bots.

I like helping new users on SteemIt.

I am a retired software developer, my programming expertise was scientific programming in FORTRAN.

It will be interesting to see your code. Maybe you can help me learn to explore the blockchain.

You earned a new follower. I look forward to seeing your future blog posts.

Have a great weekend!

All of the research, hard work, time, talent and money invested in starting a new business should never be taken lightly. It’s too bad many start-ups fall short when it comes to branding their businesses for consumption.

It’s never too early to ensure that your new venture is packaged just right for the market. That means having the right name, tagline, identity and website from the outset.

The bankruptcy courts are full of great ideas that were undermined by ineffective branding and promotion. Build it and they will come? No, they won’t. Not unless you make them really want to. Or, better yet, need to.

Unfortunately, cash-strapped start-ups tend to view an investment in brand building as an “expense” or “luxury.” They decide to put it off until they become profitable, when in reality, it’s a prerequisite to profitability. So, instead of hiring a professional, they “home-spin” it. And it usually misses the mark.

Another problem is that many businesses mistake their logo for their brand. A logo merely symbolizes the brand. A great brand transcends the products or services behind it to reflect a greater sense of purpose while connecting emotionally with the audience to create a unique frame of mind.

In short, your brand is your promise. And you need to own it.

Many businesses also make the understandable mistake of talking about themselves and their product features when they should really be talking about their audience and how they can benefit from what they have to offer. While this might seem elementary to some, entrepreneurs are often too close to their products to realize the emotional connection they need to make with their audience. They may fall short of the high-level vantage point that enables them to uncover who they really are and what their greater purpose is. That “brand’s-eye view” of their business can gain them a clearer understanding of the competitive landscape and provide a platform on which to differentiate themselves and demonstrate what makes them better. And, it can help them define their target market and reveal the emotional buttons they need to push.

There’s a wealth of evidence that shows how a great brand builds customer loyalty and brings non-tangible value to a business. So, making sure it sends the right message to the right audience is vital. And, understanding that the broader audience reaches beyond prospects — to potential investors, local media and even career-seekers — helps build brand equity.

Furthermore, enabling the brand promise to resonate throughout an entire organization requires a calculated effort. It needs to be adopted by company staff, reflected through all communications and creatively and strategically executed. Everyone must live it and breathe it.

Every great idea deserves a great start. Like the old Head & Shoulders ads stated, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” So, it’s essential that start-ups take their best shot and brand it right from the beginning.

A Great Brand Requires Enduring Vision

As the year closes, ask yourself how your current challenges and objectives align with your overall vision. Have you lost your way, or are you sticking to your Brand Promise? Is it still meaningful to your customers and prospects? Have you allowed yourself the room to evolve with their needs, or have you boxed yourself in?

Description Ingredients Why Buy From Us Shipping Reviews

Batman and Robin, Holmes and Watson, chocolate and cherries: some duos are just meant to be. Dark Chocolate-Covered Cherry All-In-One Protein Bars are the perfect combination of deep, rich chocolate and natural sweet-tart fruit flavor. And with no gluten, dairy, peanuts, or artificial sweeteners, they’re also the ideal meal on the go or workout fuel.

 Get powerful, complete nutrition without all the bad stuff. As the name implies, protein bars give you the protein you need to burn fat and build muscle. But most protein bars also throw in big doses of sugar, dairy, soy, and additives that definitely DON’T do your body any favors. JJ Virgin All-In-One Protein Bars are different. They give you wholesome, plant-based nutrition with plenty of protein and fiber and only 7g of net carbs!

Forget the drive-thru and head for the bar! Juggling the 24/7 demands of your frantic schedule can turn mealtime into an afterthought. But fast food is never going to provide the protein, healthy fats, and fiber you need to lose weight and stay energized and focused. An All-In-One Protein Bar is balanced nutrition that fits into your pocket and your life.

 All-In-One Protein Bars have the protein you need to burn fat and build muscle. Whether you spend hours at the gym or life is your playground, getting plenty of protein is vital for losing fat and strengthening and repairing your muscles. Protein also plays an important role in maintaining healthy immune function. All-In-One Protein Bars are a great source of the clean, lean protein you need to boost your endurance and lessen your recovery time.*

Get the taste and nutrients you want without any of the stuff you don’t! Whey/dairy can cause congestion, skin breakouts, and digestive issues, not to mention actually encouraging weight gain. That’s the last thing you need from a protein bar! As with all JJ Virgin products, All-In-One Protein Bars never contain ANY dairy, soy or corn proteins, gluten, eggs, or artificial sweeteners. They’re also free of animal products, making them the perfect choice for vegetarians and vegans.

Your brain and metabolism will thank you for the MCT oils in every bar. All-In-One Protein Bars fuel your body with healthy MCT oils (medium-chain triglycerides). Many studies show that MCT oils can help you burn fat and improve your focus by aiding digestion, kicking your metabolism into high gear, and balancing important hormones.* That makes All-In-One Protein Bars more than just a great-tasting meal option!

Count on the power of fiber to help you feel full, lose weight, and avoid blood sugar crashes! Every All-In-One Protein Bar not only gives you 12g of low-allergen plant protein, but also over a third of your daily recommended fiber intake. Research proves that fiber is crucial to weight loss, the health of your gut and heart, not to mention possible benefits for your skin and stabilizing your blood glucose.* Getting plenty of healthy fiber is always a win, and so are All-In-One Protein Bars!

The primary ingredients in Dark Chocolate-Covered Cherry All-In-One Protein Bars include cherries, sunflower seed butter, rice protein, brown rice crisp, coconut oil, prebiotic fiber, and unsweetened chocolate.

JJ Virgin Bars FAQs

FAQ: What’s the difference between the 3 types of bars?

We currently offer All-In-One Protein Bars, Chewy Paleo Brownie Bars, and Dark Chocolate Coconut Fiber Bars. Here’s a comparison of their nutrition:

All-In-One Protein Bars are available in 3 delicious flavors (mint, cherry, and mocha), all drenched in dark chocolate. They're ideal for a high-protein meal replacement or post-workout fuel. Each one has 12g of protein, plus the fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats you need to build muscle and speed toward your weight loss goals.

Chewy Paleo Brownie Bars offer 12g of true Paleo protein in each bar, with a proprietary blend of bone broth protein isolates, hemp protein, and pumpkin seed protein – no dairy, soy, or legumes. They also offer 11g of fiber so you feel full and satisfied, plus healthy fats from coconut oil and sunflower seed butter.

Dark Chocolate Coconut Fiber Bars fill you up and satisfy your sweet tooth. As the name implies, they’re full of 11g of fiber, but with only 1g of sugar. We’re not fans of snacking around here because of its effect on your blood glucose levels and ability to burn fat. But when cravings hit, you’re far better off indulging in a fiber bar than anything a vending machine has to offer!

FAQ: What’s the scoop on organic ingredients and GMOs for JJ Virgin bars?

We care about what you put into your body, and we know it matters! We never use GMO crops in any of our products, and our Paleo proteins are sourced from responsibly raised animals who are also never fed antibiotics, hormones, or GMO feed.

We also choose organic whenever possible and currently have a long list of certified organic ingredients in our bars: organic cashew butter, organic coconut oil, organic whole grain quinoa, organic vegetable glycerin, organic rice protein, organic chia seeds, organic cacao nibs, organic chocolate chips, and organic vanilla extract.

FAQ: What does “net carbs” mean?

“Net carbs” is a tally of the carbohydrates that actually impact your blood glucose levels. Since fiber and sugar alcohols have little effect on your blood sugar, you don’t have to take them into consideration when you’re monitoring your carb intake – looking at “net carbs” removes them from the equation for you. Net carbs are calculated by subtracting the dietary fiber and other low-glycemic sugars (like sugar alcohols) from the total carbohydrates. (If you’re diabetic, talk to your doctor to determine how many sugar alcohols are right for you.)

Don’t forget to satisfy your sweet tooth, too, with our decadent, low-sugar impact Fiber Bars. If you love candy bars but hate the way they make you feel, you’re going to go crazy for our Dark Chocolate Coconut Fiber bars that taste like a Mounds® but with only 1 gram of sugar!

Remember, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed! If you’re unhappy with a JJ Virgin product for any reason, just contact us at info@jjvirgin.com within 30 days of your purchase, and we’ll make it right.

Why Buy From Us...

Simple Science-Based Solutions to Better Your Life!

With all the options you can choose from, you deserve to know the differences between what we’ve created for you and what’s out there on the market, as well as why we go to such great lengths to ensure the quality of your supplements.

Effectiveness and Bioavailability

First and foremost, the products you find here are crafted from the highest quality ingredients available. Rather than selecting ingredients for shelf life, we formulate supplements to enhance YOUR LIFE! That is why we opt for top-notch ingredients and focus on bioavailability and benefits. It might not matter to you that we use certain forms of nutrients instead of cheaper versions, but your body knows the difference.

Produced in a Family-Owned Facility that Does Third-Party Testing

A high percentage of supplements don’t even test positive for the ingredients they claim to contain! To avoid any risk of a big manufacturer cutting corners on the products we create for you, JJ made arrangements with a family-owned facility she knows well. (She was a sales representative for them long before she wrote four NY Times bestselling books to help people avoid unnecessary weight gain and painful exposure to food intolerances!) She went to the people she trusted, the people she’s seen ship back countless ingredients after their independent third-party tests did not confirm quality and efficacy. Any idea what happens to those returned ingredients? Yep – you guessed it. They go on to another manufacturer who does not invest in outside testing.

The best part of JJ’s arrangement is that this is a family operation being passed down from generation to generation. That means no risk of a big buyout that would do away with the quality control measures JJ demands from the facility that creates your specialty supplement formulas.

Taste & Consistency

You won’t find a creamier shake that provides as much protein, with as little sugar, and ZERO exposure to the 7 high food intolerance foods. You won’t find bars that avoid the harmful proteins in gluten, soy, dairy, egg, peanuts, and corn that taste anywhere near as delicious as what JJ has created for you. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and you can rest assured the shakes and bars you fall in love with now will remain consistent in their tasty flavor and creamy texture.

A Team That Cares About You

Our knowledgeable staff is here to help. You will see lots of useful information here on the site to help you with your decision-making processes, from videos that describe usage and efficacy to testimonials from customers like you. BUT… know that we are here to help if you need more! And remember that your choices are backed by our money-back guarantee. Our entire team’s commitment is to help you take your health into your own hands!

Take your health into your own hands! Invest in the quality supplements and products that can make all the difference.

JJ Virgin

About JJ Virgin

JJ Virgin owned a beautiful high-end gym in Palm Springs and catered to the Hollywood elite who needed to prepare for starring roles and world tours. She was the nutrition and fitness expert on Dr. Phil and other major TV shows (ranging from Freaky Eaters to The Doctors), and print media authorities relied on her expertise. She had all the success a certified nutritionist and trainer could want. But when she made an important discovery – almost by accident – she left all that behind to stop the needless suffering and weight gain caused by undiagnosed food intolerances.

Nutrition and fitness theory has always relied on the calories-in-calories-out model that declares your weight is simply a function of how much you eat and exercise. However, JJ saw firsthand that this was definitely not the case. Even when she sequestered challenging weight loss cases at a retreat where she controlled what they ate and how much they worked out, there were people who still GAINED weight. So she got curious – very curious.

Since JJ supported the foremost doctors and NDs with their most challenging patients, she had access to the best nutraceuticals and tests. Combining data from the doctors she worked with and clients who trusted her to find a solution to their non-stop weight struggles, JJ found that there were 7 foods that cause the body to react by protecting itself with extra fat, inflammation, skin issues, and more. She narrowed the offending foods down to the 7 most common and used that as the starting point for what evolved into her NY Times bestselling books The Virgin Diet and The Virgin Diet Cookbook.

The 7 High Food Intolerance Foods (she dubbed them the 7 HiFI foods) were removed from the diets of hundreds of willing clients for 21 days, long enough for antibody production to slow or stop. Then, one at a time for one week each, the 7 foods were reintroduced. The results were astonishing! The simple removal of these foods reduced weight significantly, plus eliminated joint pain, headaches, and skin issues, leaving both JJ and her test subjects happily shocked. The reintroduction process caused the symptoms to return, widely more apparent since antibodies were no longer present. This inspired a full-scale test of the Virgin Diet protocol and, later, the launch of the books.

You might be wondering what all this has to do with the products you’re looking at here on the JJ Virgin Store? To answer that question, you need to know that the 7 HiFI foods JJ discovered were corn, gluten, eggs, dairy, soy, peanuts, and sugar or artificial sweeteners.

(You can learn more about the 7 HiFI foods in the free PDF download HERE.)

As it turns out, most shakes, bars, and supplements include one or more of these foods under sneaky names that you’d have to be a food detective to recognize. JJ had a rapidly growing family of people relying on her to guide them away from these 7 Hi FI foods, and that meant they needed safe protein shakes at the very least. One majorly successful part of the Virgin Diet is starting your day with a power-packed protein shake, but… JJ could not find ONE brand on the market that met her stringent requirements and tasted anywhere near delicious.

She went back to her roots, to the same community of high-end nutraceutical creators, doctors,  and NDs that she had first shared her discoveries with. She banded together a network of caring professionals to source the best ingredients and formulate a tasty line of nutritious shakes and bars, as well as exceptionally high-quality supplements that are free from the 7 foods. She also built and educated the team that supports you when you shop here on this store.

It has been a long and amazing journey in order for JJ Virgin and this entire team to touch so many lives. So what’s your health goal? How can we help you? Check out some of the stories of people just like you on the reviews tab, and then reach out to let us know how we can best support you.

Super yummy !! Dark choco covered cherry protein bars

These bars are super yummy !! Where I am from in Indiana, we grew up calling them "cherry flips". They taste so much like them I feel naughty when I eat this protein bar. I love love love these bars and the dark chocolate mocha bars. One bar, 1/2 apple and lots of water can be a meal replacement for me. ;-)

My Sister by Peter Breyer

Picture of Berlin

The voice of the singer soared over the lyrics of the gospel choir that Easter morning a decade and a half ago. You plead my cause, You right my wrongs/ You break my chains, You overcome/ You gave Your life, to give me mine/ You say that I am free…How can it be? I had plenty of reason for celebration sitting by my wife of thirty-five years, our son and his fiancée, and finally, my 88-year-old mother, all in a row. The exuberant parishioners were filled with joy, but I was still distracted with the … Continue reading My Sister by Peter Breyer

Bury St Edmunds Counselling

Comments Off on Bury St Edmunds Counselling

BACP New logo  membership image icon barnardos  BUPA Recognised Counsellor in Bury St Edmunds

BACP Accredited, BUPA Recognised, Link Adoption Counsellor

My name is Emma and I founded Bury St Edmunds Counselling in 2005.  I’m guessing that you are feeling that you may need some help and someone to talk to who is not involved in your day to day life.

It may be that you are feeling depressed with life, suffering anxiety or have symptoms of OCD which you would like to stop interfering with your life.  It may be that you are in a relationship which you want to make work, but there are never ending arguments or disagreements.  Anger may be an issue for you and worrying about your temper and its effect on your loved ones.  You may have suffered a terrible loss or need some help to gain self esteem and confidence.

Sometimes family and close friends can give you support, but help in working out the answers and a way forward can be more difficult.

Counselling is a way that you can look at your situation differently, develop the coping strategies and tools that you need to make life enjoyable again.

Counselling can also help you work out who you are and sometimes it can feel like you lived your entire life on a day to day basis without really getting to know who you really are.

  • What makes you, you?

  • What is really important to you?

  • Why do you keep making the same mistakes?

  • What do you really want out of life?

  • Who in your life is important to you and why?

Quite a few years ago now, a life changing event caused me to re-evaluate my future and I  was lucky enough to find a counsellor who helped me discover these things about myself and I have not looked back since.

I work with adults, couples and teenagers over the age of 14.  If you you are looking for counselling in Bury St Edmunds and would like to call or e-mail me to discuss how I can help you, please contact me on 01284 752845 or 07469 191419 or e-mail me at emma@burystedmundscounselling.co.uk.

All the best

I am also part of the new ‘Suffolk Counsellors Network’ which promotes counselling for the general public by only having counsellors who have a degree in counselling and are BACP Accredited/Registered therefore providing an ethical, professional and effective service across Suffolk which you can rely on.  www.suffolkcounsellors.co.uk

Artchimboldi, a chic meeting space in central Barcelona, has a peaceful-yet-purposeful ambience. Narrow wooden writing desks sit in neat rows on a faded mosaic tile floor. Sounds of life from the courtyard drift in through the balcony doors as catering staff ferry trays of neatly arranged breakfast pastries.

Class is about to start.

This is the second time we’ve assembled the engineering team at Stuart for our two-day mini conference. The team trickles into the main space to a chorus of whirring and spluttering from the coffee machine. Frontend, QA, backend, data, devops, design, integrations, and product — everybody’s here.

As the room fills, an elephant presents itself. There’s a lot more of us this time around. We’re gonna need a bigger boat…

It’s an odd thing, working remotely. Mostly a blessing as I casually drift from bedroom, to kitchen, to office on the morning commute.

Traffic’s hell as I take a long detour around a pile-up of toys and laundry. Finally, and with relief, I settle into my chair and immerse myself: quietly cocooned in noise-canceled serenity. A modest cubbyhole in a sleepy end-terrace, and my own private fortress of solitude.

The engineering team at Stuart is distributed across France, Spain, Poland, and the UK. The majority of us are based in the offices in Paris, Barcelona, and London but a growing number of us perch on a wire and connect in remotely from various workspaces and our own homes.

Gathering us all together for a couple of days is always a lot of fun and very enriching as we renew old bonds and “devirtualize”.

Lunch on the balcony.

This year’s talks take in a wide range of topics, with some tech deep-dives, visions of the future, and a summary of the previous year. To my own personal delight, we have a really entertaining lightning talks session where the floor opens up for anybody to present for five minutes on absolutely any topic. We have lightning-fast presentations on topics ranging from Experimental JS through to Critical Thinking.

As day one draws to a close, I head out early joined by our Scrum Master Stefano and Yohan from the backend team in Paris. We have a special mission to tackle — setting up our pre-dinner entertainment. Back by popular demand, we’re holding a whisky tasting!

Glasses are carefully filled with whiskies from Ireland, Scotland, Japan and the USA. This time we’re experimenting with how the aromas and flavours change when a few drops of water are added. Armed with a detailed spec sheet, we analyse the make-up and flavour of each whisky in true engineering style — a blend of science and sensory mindfulness.

Smelling, tasting, and discussing.

Naturally, once the glasses are empty, it’s time to head out into Barcelona in search of food. We descend on a restaurant in the Eixample neighbourhood for a banquet of local cuisine. Course after course of Spanish specialities: Iberian steak, jamón, baked eggs, giant mussels, Galician octopus, fried padron peppers, and Crema Catalana (a beautiful variation on crème brûlée).

Day two starts in a much more gentle fashion as the evening’s indulgences hang over us.

Time to get comfortable.

We throw open discussions for how we could do things differently — new architectures, technologies and processes that will help us scale up as we continue to grow. We cover event-sourcing, growth frameworks, custom Stuart hardware, monolith vs microservices vs umbrella applications, immutable infrastructure, and plenty more.

As the last Q&A of the day winds down, we pack up and do the rounds saying our goodbyes. But before we head out for taxis, trains, and airports there’s a final announcement: In 2019 we’re greenlit to hold two engineering conferences!

And off we go into the Barcelona night: reconnected with our colleagues, reinvigorated with our craft, excited for the future, and we’re already buzzing with ideas for what we want to do with the next one.

Naturally, we’re not proposing that mini-conferences replace community conferences. There’s a ton of value and positives in attending those. But there’s an appeal to the simplicity and control of holding your own conference and letting your team take the reins. Not only has it been great fun, but the learning and team building we’ve experienced has helped align our objectives as a company.

So next time you’re wondering which conference to attend, maybe it should be your own mini conference 😁

Fancy joining us next time? We’re hiring! 🚀 Check out our open engineering positions.

Signs that Your Child may be Struggling with Their Mental Health at University

Martha Southon on 12 February 2020
Signs that Your Child may be Struggling with Their Mental Health at University

The thing people don’t tell you about uni is that for some of us, it’s not all fun and games.

Sure, loads of it will be – the freedom, the friends and the flirting; it all makes for a pretty great time.

But these things can also have the opposite effect and can take a real toll on our mental health. The newfound responsibility mixed with the worry of committing to a course and the anxiety of personal connections not happening... It’s enough to make anyone worry.

It’s thought that around one in four people will struggle with their mental health in their lifetime. So it makes sense that mental illness in students is a huge worry.

And it won’t always manifest in the same way. There is a range of symptoms to be aware of.

If your son or daughter is at uni and they’re starting to recluse into themselves but you’re living quite far away, it can be tricky to spot.

Especially if they haven’t made many social connections in their new home.

But there are plenty more to be aware of.

Mood and behaviour changes

If your son or daughter is coming across more negative than usual, that could be a red light. If they’re less talkative and not making as much effort as they might usually, that’s likely a sign.

Feeling things are hopeless is a warning sign that they could be experiencing depression.

This can lead to a further broad range of symptoms, like self-blame, giving up on previous passions, and a loss of interest.

Being distant with calls and visits

Struggling to connect and getting monosyllabic answers to your questions?

Everyone gets homesick at uni. They just do. So if you’re experiencing a lack of communication from your child, it could be a sign.

And if they stop visiting home, then that might be a cause for concern as well. If you haven’t lived away from home before and don’t visit in the time after moving, that’s pretty telling.

Difficulty concentrating and sleeping

Challenges with mental health can manifest in a vicious cycle of symptoms. This could start off with a lack of energy, turning into overwhelming tiredness, which can be one of the most difficult symptoms to overcome and leads to sleeping around the clock.

There have also been links made between mental health problems and insomnia. Obviously, this can impact the other and the lack of proper sleep can also lead to anxiety.

Physical symptoms

Weight loss or gain can be sure signs that something’s up. Likewise, deteriorating personal hygiene is a big clue that things aren’t as they should be. If you can, it might be a good call to check in with your child’s housemates or flatmates if this is a worry.

Substance abuse

Obviously there’s going to be an amount of drinking going around at any given university. The key thing here is to look out for signs your child might be hitting it too hard, or experimenting with harder substances.

Perhaps they’ve taken to more regular drinking to cope with the increased stress of uni life, which is a dangerous way of trying to deal with things, as it can make mental health worse in the longer term.

So what can you do about it?

Many students are at their worst, mentally, towards the beginning of term or in the holidays if they’re alone. Around these times, share with them a few resources to remind them there are people out there that aren’t their parents that they can talk to.

Someone to talk to

There’s a fairly strong chance that your child might want to speak to someone that ‘gets it’. And that might not be you. Make your peace with it, quick, and suggest some resources.

Most universities have mental health advisers. You can do a bit of research into what your child’s university might have available on their website. Many will have practical support networks to students experiencing mental health difficulties.

There’s plenty of information on the Student Minds website or the NHS that could lead them to reach out to someone who could make a difference.

Get connected

If they’re not ready for that, or if it’s simply not the kind of thing they’re looking for, there are plenty of apps on the market including Fika which could help. Some are free, some aren’t but all of them are designed to make things better for them.

If you’re seriously worried about your son or daughter and they’re not being forthcoming in telling you what’s going on with them, it might be time to drop by.

University can be a lonely place, so they might surprise you and come out of their shell a bit from seeing you. Sometimes you just need to see familiar faces and feel supported to be able to make a change.

Hot Pink Flower Pot

I saw a great idea on Pinterest recently to incorporate the trend of neon into home decor – spray painted flower pots in hot pink!  They were so easy to make, here’s the how-to:

Terracotta flower pot(s)
Painters tape
Spray paint in desired color, I chose hot pink

Simply tape up the section of the terracotta pot that you DON’T want to paint.

Put pot up on a surface you don’t mind getting paint-y and spray.  We ended up doing 3 coats of paint to ensure the color was really saturated.  Let dry overnight.

Once dry, plant away!  We planted white petunias, they look great on our front steps.

I don’t get to see my Mom as often as I would like to. Once a year if I’m lucky, but I’m not complaining. I’m just so grateful I still have her.

My Mom

My mom is a Bohemian figure who spent most of her life in a socialist country, in a corporate environment working in financial sector. Yeah, I know, doesn’t make much sense for a Bohemian, but that’s what she had to do. A real free thinker, a feminist and one of the most accepting and open-minded people I know, she shaped me and my sister into who we are as people. I let myself be me because of my Mom.

I took a very different life path than she did, I did exactly what I wanted, I rarely sacrificed anything for others and (with hard work and unwavering conviction of deserving the best) I pretty much got everything I ever asked for.

There are times I wish I were not like her (and you know what they say – what bugs you most in other people is what you can’t stand in yourself…) and there are times I literally want to cry because of how grateful I’m of what she taught me.

Mom looking like Audrey

Here is the list my favorite things I learned from my Mom:

You can’t get in trouble if you tell the truth

Just because someone is much older than you (or a family member) does not mean you can’t give them a piece of your mind

Always make time for family meals

Read every day

It’s OK to walk around in your PJ’s all day if you feel like it

It’s also OK not to open your door when the door bell rings and you are walking around in your PJ’s and you know you didn’t invite anybody over (to say that Mom is not a fan of pop-ins would be a huge understatement)

Yes, you can wear a purple top with red pants

The only way to be happy is to be yourself

Stay Tipsy and tell your Mom why you love her!

How Abra Uses Bitcoin to Bring Stock Investing to the Unbanked

It’s been only a month since Abra publicly launched its investment product. But the company has already received an “overwhelmingly positive” response from the public, showcasing the strong consumer demand for convenient and affordable investing solutions. It has also demonstrated how Bitcoin can be used effectively to help financially underserved populations access financial markets, Bill Barhydt, CEO and founder of Abra, told Bitcoin Magazine

“We opened our waitlist in February and only just launched the product for general availability to Abra international customers at the end of May, so it’s only been live for a few weeks,” said Barhydt. “In just a few weeks, we have nearly 14,000 equity wallets in the system from 154 countries around the globe and growing.”

Striving to provide the unbanked with powerful yet affordable financial services, cryptocurrency wallet and exchange app Abra launched a new product earlier this year that allows users to purchase stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) using bitcoin directly through the app. The key differentiator for Abra’s investing offering, Barhydt said, is its fractional investing capability which allows users to get started with as little as $5.

“Most of our users have been historically shut out of financial markets, either due to their ability to access the market or afford the more popular stocks that trade at hundreds or even thousands of dollars per share,” he said. “In order to build wealth, more people need a stake in ownership of financial assets and assets that protect against inflation while compounding wealth. Yet, across the globe, access to investing in financial assets is not universal. While over half of Americans invest in the stock market, only 2 percent of Mexicans do, for example.”

Building Adoption on Bitcoin

The launch of Abra’s investment capabilities was “a pivotal milestone, not only toward our overall mission of democratizing access to financial services, but also how the industry will view investing and cryptocurrency as the new protocol for money in the future,” said Barhydt. “The fact that this is all built on Bitcoin is, we believe, one of the best applications for cryptocurrency mass adoption … We have users from Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey, Mexico, Spain and more that are now given that opportunity to diversify and grow their wealth.”

Abra’s investing product uses bitcoin to give users the ability to gain synthetic exposure to the price movements of traditional assets including stocks, commodities, indexes and ETFs, via crypto-collateralized contracts.

Crypto-collateralized contracts peg the value of the desired asset of investment to bitcoin held in the contract. This means that if the price of the underlying asset goes up, the amount of bitcoin in the contract will go up to reflect the movement and vice versa, basically creating a synthetic asset on the back end.

Abra uses the same process for cryptocurrency and fiat currency trading.

Investing Trends

 Since launching its investing offering last month, Abra has already witnessed several investing trends emerge. In particular, investors are very bullish on technology and “overwhelmingly love Tesla,” Barhydt said, which currently stands as the number one stock pick on Abra globally, with a median investment 191 percent higher than average. South Africa is the leading investor location, followed by France, Argentina, Austria and the Philippines.

Amazon, Apple, Google and Alibaba are other favored investment assets.

Among the main advantages of the Abra investing product, users cited accessibility to financial markets, especially U.S. equities; affordability, with the possibility to buy fractional shares of stocks; and control, referring to the fact that Abra uses a non-custodial model where users maintain control of their underlying cryptocurrencies at all times.

“User feedback tells us that accessibility is the biggest pain point Abra is solving for them — either the difficulty of accessing the stock market in their country or the bureaucracy around obtaining a brokerage account,” said Barhydt. “Abra believes in financial inclusion, both from the standpoint of making finance simple and straightforward and in giving access to public markets to people that have traditionally been left out. Cryptocurrency technology, such as Bitcoin, can serve as a new platform to solve these problems of access and trust.”

Headland House St Ives

Set in an Edwardian house overlooking the picturesque Carbis Bay, this boutique B&B has views out to sea and an outdoor seating area for sundown drinks. Each bedroom is bright and breezy, with whitewood finishes and plush beds. Bespoke touches range from local artwork to the ‘snug lounge’ where you can relax with a book in leather chairs bathed in candlelight. In the morning, enjoy a delicious home-cooked breakfast and come evening, choose crisp wines and sweet sherries from their honesty bar.

The Scarlet Hotel Newquay

This eco-friendly but luxurious hotel hugs the clifftop overlooking Mawgan Porth Beach and the waters of the North Atlantic. The adults-only retreat celebrates its surroundings in all their glory, with floor-to-ceiling windows at every turn, an outdoor pool and wooden hot tubs straddling the edge of the hill.

The lavish spa features cutting-edge treatments like 90-minute seaweed wraps and copper tub bathing, with complimentary yoga classes every morning. The hotel is a stone’s throw from the beach, but with this much to do inside, you might find it tough to leave. Try out the glowing living room/library complete with an open fireplace and shelves of books. Or the sun-trapping cloister garden, where guests are encouraged to wear dressing gowns. (If we must…)

The Scarlet welcomes dogs, as does the beach below, and has five dog-friendly rooms. If you are visiting pet-free, take your pick of the hotel’s plusher rooms, from ‘just right’ to ‘indulgent’. All are spaciously open-plan, with underfloor heating and views of the dramatic outdoors. The largest suites are kitted out with free-standing baths, open showers and work areas. After a three- course breakfast of freshly baked bread, eggs Florentine, fresh juice and delicious coffee, take the hour-long walk along the cliff edge to beautiful Watergate Bay.

St. Moritz Hotel Padstow

Around a 30-minute drive from Padstow centre, this Art Deco building has a stunning selection of rooms, all fitted with furnishings in breezy shades of white and blue. A lavish reception area leads upstairs to an elegant bar and restaurant with a menu that changes daily. Wander across the manicured lawns to the hotel’s whimsical pastel-striped beach huts where you can store all your seaside essentials. Don’t miss the lavish Cowshed spa. Nestle down for treatments tried and tested in Somerset’s Babington House, or take a dip in the indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

Safari Cornwall Port Isaac

If tents and lighter fluid aren’t your thing, luxury camping offers an altogether more appealing option. Two grey-blue shepherd’s huts look out over an enclosed garden, a wooden hot tub, an outdoor kitchen area and a scattering of apple trees. The concept was inspired by the five years owner Kayna and her husband spent living in Kenya, staying in places just like this (only with a few more venomous snakes). This little pocket of self-catered peace is close to Padstow, Port Isaac and hundreds of miles of coastal footpaths.

The Old Quay House Fowey

Every one of this boutique hotel’s 11 bedrooms is unique, and the view has something of the French Riviera about it; the hazy blue water ripples with cool-blue sailing boats, while at night the lights of tiny Polruan village twinkle from the other side of the river. The hotel’s glowing waterfront restaurant has excellent food crafted from local, seasonal produce. It opens out onto a wooden deck where, in the evening, you can pull up a chair with a blanket and a glass of wine to watch rowers glide across the dusky waters.

Polpier House Mevagissey

If you’re venturing to Cornwall in a group, Polpier House in the old coastal town of Mevagissey will make you very happy. The surrounding beaches and winding seafront pathways make for bracing days out, but really, you won’t want to leave the building. With eight super-king bedrooms, a living room with a crackling fireplace, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a tennis court, a home cinema, snooker and tennis tables and soaring views of the ocean, this is a place to drink in every minute with friends, family and a few bottles of wine. There’s even a ‘disco hall’ with its own DJ booth. Need we say any more?

Sands Studio

Centrally located in the reputable Downalong area of St Ives, these two mid-century studios crafted by the talented duo Angela and Olivier Noverraz deserve serious recognition. Combining romance with a quirky edge, they are aptly positioned in between the rugged coastline of the Moorish peninsular and the fudge-lined cobbled streets. Brightly lit rooms with floor-to-ceiling views of Porthgwidden Bay are decorated with Ercol furnishings and local artwork. The vibrant, gold palette exudes the warmth of Navajo country with a Scandinavian edge. Their sister studio, Samphire Studio is equally appealing.

I recently upgraded Firefox from 3.0 to 3.5. Since then I have a lot of trouble running this app. It freezes after 1 sec and stops responding to any commands.

How can I make it work again? If there's no known fix for it, where can I still download the older 3.0 version?

According to Frans Bouma's blog it´s a bug/feature in the random number generator of the Network Security System (NSS) used by FF3.5. In a few words: NSS reads the files in the system temp folder to use as seeds for the randomization.

Try disabling all your add-ins first. If it still doesn't work, go with an older version using the link from Zoredache.

  • The very annoying thing is that now, Firefox 3.0 has the exact same symptoms. It freezes after 2s. Can it be that the random generator component remained installed the machine? – cmserv Jul 15 '09 at 16:58

Did you try it with a different profile? If you start firefox with the argument "-p", the profile manager pops up. You can create a new profile there and use that profile to see if it works. If it does, it means that your previous profile was corrupted in some way.

Update QLogic drivers on Windows 7

Robert Leong -

It had been reported that the QLogic stock driver that comes with Windows 7 could not show all LUNs in a large SAN environment, updating the drive from the QLogic site solved the problem.  The QLogic site does not have Windows 7 drivers, so the Server 2008 driver was used.
