Passing By: Thirty-seven words and eight entries/
by Garrett Zecker
I teach a workshop with mainly seventeen and eighteen-year-old writers. I recently assigned a short task: write your name and age at the top of the page, then write a piece about yourself using only the exact number of words of your age. I completed the task along with them. While I had twice as many words to work with, when I listened to them share their work I realized that I had little more insight than they did. Below, I have reproduced my activity and interspersed each line with an excerpt from a journal entry. These dated excerpts interlineate an experience from the ensuing years since I was my student's age.
I keep journals
April 5, 2000 (18) – I made an appointment to see a counselor. I will tell him about the last time I saw a counselor and that none of it really helped. It was all about talking about how the world treats me...but it didn't stop the world.
I record an imperfect life
November 29, 2006 (25) – Every day it seems I am looking at the work I am doing, the work to come, the payoff and potential rewards, and I think how I am twenty-five and do not want to be stuck with some of this or have to settle.
Days, joy and torment, all words
January 19, 2010 (28) – The clinic was at a library – a nice one – and I waited inside.
Imagine, a manual
August 30, 2011 (30) – I cried on stage in front of hundreds of people. It was a pure sorrow. A sorrow arisen from the show being over and so much of my life having passed and at joy. The joy of having had something so wonderful and amazing I helped create. Something beautiful and true with so many amazing people.
"How To Be A Man"
June 17, 2013 (32) – I am scared. I am an impulse. I am darting back and forth in a cage like a tiger. I am dying and I have never been happy. How much time do I have left? I'm a terminal case. What is the struggle for? What?
Words fail often as my heart
August 6, 2013 (32) - I remain frustrated, feeling like I am doing all the work, and thinking how resentful I am in ways that go all the way back to the beginning. The apartment. The jealousy of my friends. No need fulfilled unless I take care of it. Money. My brain starts despairing, thinking of ways of being satiated...
My audience my mirror
November 9, 2016 (35) – It's Carl Sagan's birthday and I really miss my friend.
Books buried beneath the earth
14 November 2017 (36) - I've needed to simplify. A lot. And I am trying and trying not to mess everything up, even at the expense of things I really, really want and need. And then I also want my heart to be quiet and still. To not be so anxious and mean and irritated at absolutely every last thing.
Garrett Zecker is a current degree candidate at The Mountainview low-residency MFA in Fiction and Nonfiction.

PLYWOOD: MATERIAL OF THE MODERN WORLD 15 July – 12 November 2017 (Sponsored by MADE.COM ) Supported by the American Friends of the V&A
Light, strong, affordable and versatile, plywood is the unlikely material behind an eclectic array of ground-breaking designs celebrated in a world-first exhibition at the V&A this summer. From the fastest and highest-flying aeroplane of WWII, the de Havilland Mosquito, to the downloadable self-assembly WikiHouse, more than 120 objects are brought to explore how the often-overlooked product has helped create the modern world.
Admission Free #Plywood
THE PINK FLOYD EXHIBITION: THEIR MORTAL REMAINS 13 May – 1 October 2017
Presented by the V&A, Pink Floyd and Iconic Entertainment Studios Sound Experience by Sennheiser
The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains is the first international retrospective of Pink Floyd, one of the world's most pioneering and influential bands. This multi-sensory exhibition, featuring over 350 objects, examines Pink Floyd's extraordinary worlds; chronicling the music, design and staging of the band, from their debut in the 60s through to the present day. The exhibition has been produced in close consultation with the three surviving band members and has been curated by Aubrey Powell, the Creative Director of Pink Floyd, with a V&A team led by Senior Curator Victoria Broackes.

BALENCIAGA: SHAPING FASHION 27 May 2017 – 18 February 2018 (Sponsored by American Express).
Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion is the first ever UK exhibition to explore the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga, one of the most influential and revered designers of the 20th century. Balenciaga's unique and forward-thinking vision of female beauty, innovative use of textiles and ingenious pattern-cutting shaped the modernity of 1960s fashion and continues to influence fashion today. This exhibition is the first of its kind to examine Balenciaga's unique approach to making and showcases pieces by his protégés and contemporary designers working in similarly innovative ways. The exhibition marks the centenary of the opening of Balenciaga's first fashion house in San Sebastian and the 80th anniversary of the opening of his famous fashion house in Paris.
Admission £12 (concessions available) #Balenciaga
THE EPHEMERA EFFECT: HOKUSAI'S GREAT WAVE 25 May – 1 October 2017
Japan, Room 45
The global fame of Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) owes much to his 1831 'Under the Wave off Kanagawa', better known as 'The Great Wave'. This display draws on ephemera collected by Christine Guth while researching her recent publication Hokusai's Great Wave: The Biography of a Global Icon (2015) to show some of the myriad and sometimes unexpected ways in which this iconic image has been recycled or appropriated. It includes an original example of 'The Great Wave' from the V&A's collection.
Admission Free
DESIGNING THE V&A 6 May 2017 – 7 January 2018
Architecture, Room 128a
Through original drawings and photographs, this display highlights the artists, designers and engineers who created the V&A, charting the building's transformation from the 1850s to today, culminating with the opening of the Exhibition Road Quarter the V&A's largest architectural intervention in 100 years.
Admission Free
V&A ILLUSTRATION AWARDS 2017 16 May – 20 August
Library Landing, Room 85
The V&A Illustration Awards are held annually to recognise the very best of book, editorial and student illustration in the UK. This year's winners were A. Richard Allen, JARVIS, Aino-Maija Metsola and Beatriz Lostalé Seijo. Past winners include Ralph Steadman, Posy Simmonds, Michael Forman and Sara Fanelli. With generous financial support from the Enid Linder Foundation, this display of winning entries demonstrates the vitality and scope of contemporary illustration and its enduring power to shape our reception of the written word.
Admission Free
CONTEMPORARY KOREAN CERAMICS 19 May 2017 – 11 February 2018
Ceramics Gallery
By bringing together the work of 15 emerging and established artists from Korea, this display offers an insight into the richness of contemporary Korean studio ceramic practice. A number of the featured artists are inspired by historical Korean ceramics such as inlaid celadons from the Goryeo dynasty (918-1392) and buncheong ware and white porcelains of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910). Others experiment with new technologies and alternative materials, or use ceramics as a medium to engage with contemporary issues ranging from mass-consumption and pop culture to the destruction of Korea's architectural heritage.
Admission Free
RACHEL KNEEBONE AT THE V&A 1 April 2017 – 14 January 2018
Gallery 50a and Gallery 21
Porcelain sculptures by contemporary British artist Rachel Kneebone are on display amongst masterpieces of the V&A's sculpture collection. 399 Days, the largest and most ambitious sculpture the artist has ever produced can be seen in the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries (Gallery 50a). A 5m high porcelain tower featuring intricately modelled and detailed figurative scenarios, the sculpture combines minute detail and towering scale. Until 6th August, three of the artist's sculptures can be viewed in the Hintze Sculpture Galleries (Gallery 21) amongst Auguste Rodin's bronzes. Placed alongside these sculptures on the centenary of Rodin's death, this display highlights the artists' shared interest in capturing emotive states – hope, longing, loss and suffering – while also offering a comparison between their choice of materials and techniques.
Admission Free

The biggest day in American sports is upon us, and it's raking in more money than ever.
In 2016 the Super Bowl saw $620 million in revenue, with $375 million of that from advertising. It should come as no surprise considering the estimated 72% of US households expected to tune into the game.
Super Bowl is our most celebrated annual event in the States. But the rest of the world likes to get in on the action — it's the most watched single-day sporting event in the world.
No Super Bowl party is complete without an array of food and beer, which accounts for the 1 billion chicken wings eaten in the name of football this Sunday. (Sorry, chickens.)

Play It Again, Sam - Art Gallery
Then ... The search continues for a new girlfriend for Allan ... Linda thinks an art gallery might be a good place. They visit the West Gallery at the San Francisco Museum of Art, (renamed the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art three years later), which at that time was on the fourth floor of the War Memorial Veteran's Building in the Civic Center (map).
... and Now, the museum has since moved to grander, dedicated quarters; this space is currently occupied by San Francisco Opera's Costume Studio. The wall at left has been opened up and the tall opening to the next gallery at right on the back wall has been partially filled in.
Linda spots a potential candidate (Diana Davila) standing at the end of the gallery in front of the Jackson Pollock painting 'Guardians of the Secret'; she urges Allan to go over and ask her out.
Then ... He asks what she thinks of the Pollock whereupon she delivers a dark esoteric monolog. Unfazed, he delivers the funniest line in the movie ...
"What are you doing Saturday?"
"Committing suicide".
"What about Friday night?"
... and Now, more wall changes are visible in today's matching view.
... a vintage photo ... here's a 1958 photo of the West Gallery taken from the same spot as the shot above. The museum was housed in this and other galleries on the 4th floor of the Veteran's Building from 1935 to 1994 after which it moved to its current home, the Mario Botta designed Museum of Modern Art, on 3rd Street in SoMa.

Hi, my name is Lee Howson and I am a graphic designer living in the UK. I have been a designer for over twenty years, much of it spent designing magazines. I have always loved print in all its many forms but magazines are my soft spot. I have witnessed huge changes within the print industry, initially I cut and pasted my design layouts today I work in design packages such as Indesign and Photoshop. Throughout all the changes in the last twenty years, the fundamental principles of design have stayed constant, typography and composition. I'm often told that the importance of print has declined and the internet, usually via a phone, is king. Well, print has never let me down, run out of charge or been dropped and broken. Print, like vinyl, is just getting better.
If you require my assistance I can navigate the complexities of the print production world, from; brochures, leaflets and adverts.

Speaking of word meanings…Have you ever needed a kid friendly definition of a word, and struggled to create that definition? I was part of a team writing lessons to accompany Making Meaning lessons using alternative texts for our Multi-grade classrooms in our district, and I needed to create kid friendly definitions to define text vocabulary. A great online dictionary that helped me and can help you too is called the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English online.

Children who are placed in a child care centre are legally obligated to leave at the age of 18 or at the end of their secondary education. Having spent most of their lives in the care of the Jakaranda Kinderhuis, they feel a lot of uncertainty and fear when it is time to leave.
These young adults have no economic or emotional support but have no choice than to face the world on their own. VISION Independence strives to change this by filling the void.
A group of people from the community have taken on the responsibility to support these children financially and emotionally. Their role is to find a place for the children where they feel a sense of belonging and where they can make a valuable contribution to society.

Hey everyone!
I did this last year and quite a few people replied, so I'm excited to do it again! I'm curious, what's the top song on your 2018 Wrapped (the one that you listened to the most)? You can find out by going on spotifywrapped.com or just checking your Spotify for "Your Top Songs 2018." Please share yours, and again, if there's enough I'll make a playlist :)
Mine was Deja Vu by Beyonce and Jay Z. I've always loved Beyonce, but I gained a bigger appreciation for B'day this year.

All Aspects Of Garden Work Undertaken
Our many satisfied customers include: home owners, landscape contractors, fencing contractors, councils, land management companies, and golf clubs.
Weed Control
With the best will in the world, sometimes it's really hard to maintain a weed-free garden. Our regular visits will see to that for you.
Weekly & Fortnightly Visits
Too busy to give your garden the care and attention it needs? Don't worry, we can call every week or two to tend to your lawns, beds and pots – leaving you to enjoy your garden.
Hedge & Tree Cutting
Hedges and trees need to be maintained for various reasons; they may be close to buildings, they may have grown too big for the area, deadwood may be visible, to mention a few.
Large Grass Areas
No job too big. Our work extends to larger grassed areas such as football pitches, school sports fields, athletic tracks and golf clubs.
Full Tree & Grounds Maintenance Service
All gardens, regardless of their size and complexity, need a certain amount of care and attention to ensure that they continue to look their best, remain healthy, and so that plants and trees are able to mature and reach their full potential.
J Gaffney Tree & Grounds Maintenance provide a comprehensive service, which can be on a contract basis or an on-call service for a full or half day. We work with a range of partners and suppliers in order to give all our clients the very best in landscape and garden maintenance.
All our work is fully supported by comprehensive policies covering insurance, health & safety, and training to the highest standards.
Tree Services
Trees need to be maintained for various reasons; for example they may be close to buildings, they may have become weak due to a cavity, they may have grown too big for the area, deadwood may be visible, or there may be growth abnormalities which can cause weak points.
There are various solutions to these problems which we can offer to carry out. These include: crown thinning, crown lifting, crown reduction, dead wooding, section felling, and straight directional felling.
All cuttings are fed through a wood-chipping machine and taken away from the job, but you are more than welcome to keep all or just some of the chippings to use around your garden or site.
Tree Stump Removal
We specialise in tree stump removal for the commercial and domestic market. Many people think that after the tree has been felled the stump will naturally die but in most cases this is not true.
Stumps can be a trip hazard and can spread disease and fungus to other trees and plants. Luckily we can grind the stump until there is nothing left of it.
Quality Gardening & Maintenance Services
J Gaffney Tree & Grounds Maintenance specialise in a wide range of gardening and grounds maintenance services in both commercial and domestic settings: from tree felling, grass mowing and strimming, weed control, hedge cutting and trimming, sports ground maintenance, stump grinding, grounds clearance, tree surgery, shrub and tree planting and much more.

Mason and Chelsea were married this last Friday and it turned out beautiful. Chelsea didn't know that she had a few surprises in store for her on this special day. The first, was that Mason was going to sing to her while my dad walked her down the isle. She had been begging Mason for months and months to sing L.A to Rome at their wedding and Mason kept telling her that he just couldn't do it in front of all those people. So during the ring cermemony as Chelsea was waiting for the typical wedding music to start Mason started singing her song while his Uncle played the guitar. WOW! it turned out amazing I think every little girl in the audience will have a new expectation of their wedding day. Then at the end of the night everyone walked outside to light sparklers and throw rose peddles, what Mason and Chelsea didn't know was that my mom wonderful friends Debbie and Steve Wilson were having a helecopter land to take them away on their honeymoon. It was awesome and they were so surprised the helecopter landed right on the green of the golf course it was AMAZING! The other surprise was where they were going on their honeymoon, Mason planned it all and told her that night that they would be spending their honeymoon on a Mexican Cruise for the week. I am planning on posting the video of the ceremony so everyone can see him singing to her but I need to make sure that it's okay with then first so as soon as they get home I will see. She is one lucky girl Mason is such a great guy! We are all so happy for them.

Iclusig Overdose
Some of the potential complications that may occur as a result of an overdose with Iclusig (ponatinib) include chest pain, pneumonia, and irregular heart rhythms. The specific effects, however, will depend on how much of the drug was taken and a number of other factors. Treatment will likely involve administering certain medications, pumping the stomach, and providing supportive care.
Iclusig® (ponatinib) is a prescription medication used to treat certain adults with leukemia, a cancer of the blood cells and bone marrow. As with most medications, it is possible to take too much Iclusig.
The specific effects of an overdose would likely vary, depending on a number of factors, including the Iclusig dosage and whether it was taken with any other medications or substances.
In the few reported cases of an Iclusig overdose, the following problems were reported:
- Pneumonia
- Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Abnormal fluid accumulation around the heart (pericardia effusion)
- Body-wide inflammatory reactions
- Fatigue
- Chest pain.
If the overdose was recent, a healthcare provider may administer activated charcoal or "pump the stomach" to help reduce the amount of medication absorbed into the bloodstream.
Treatment will also likely involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. Supportive care for an Iclusig overdose may include:
- Medications to treat vomiting and diarrhea

Police: Man fatally struck on I-95 while retrieving cellphonePosted: Updated:
State police say what was supposed to be a fishing trip ended in tragedy after a man was hit and killed by a car on Interstate 95.
The crash happened around 2:30 a.m. near Exit 41 North.
Police say the victim was a passenger in a pick-up truck with three other people, all from out of state.
According to police, the victim's cellphone fell out of the truck, so the driver pulled over on the right shoulder.
Police say the victim then crossed over all three lanes and found his phone near the median.
According to police, he then stepped into the left lane to return to the truck, when he was hit by an SUV. He was pronounced dead at the scene and has not yet been identified.
The driver of the SUV pulled over following the crash and is cooperating with the investigation. No charges have been filed at this time.
Police warn drivers that 911 should be the first call if something like that happens.

This past Saturday my cousin Savannah and I went to SLC for some shopping! This is something we do a lot and we really enjoy it. Our first stop (and one of the main reasons we wanted to go) was Roberts Craft in Sandy. They were having a Customer Appreciation Sale and were doing free Make-N-Takes! First we walked around and did some shopping. They had a 50% off coupon so we bought some more cake decorating supplies and then we did our crafts.
The bags can be cut out with the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More Cartridge so now Savannah is looking into buying the cartridge for her Cricut. If she does, I'm going to be up at her house using it all the time!
The mini notebook was made using The Cinch to bind it together. This was a fun machine and another one I would love to own!
Both of these projects were so easy and fun to put together and would be fun for lots of events.

Yeah, I have downloaded and configured properly Apache, Mysql and my PHP last week, so now I will study the very basic about PHP. The Basic PHP Syntax. I just want to acknowledge my source for this.
A PHP scripting block always starts with . A PHP scripting block can be placed anywhere in the document.
On servers with shorthand support enabled you can start a scripting block with .
For maximum compatibility, I recommend that you use the standard form (
A PHP file normally contains HTML tags, just like an HTML file, and some PHP scripting code.
Below, I have an example of a simple PHP script which sends the text "Hello World" to the browser:
Each code line in PHP must end with a semicolon. The semicolon is a separator and is used to distinguish one set of instructions from another.
There are two basic statements to output text with PHP: echo and print. In the example above we have used the echo statement to output the text "Hello World".
Note: The file must have a .php extension. If the file has a .html extension, the PHP code will not be executed.
Comments in PHP
In PHP, we use // to make a single-line comment or /* and */ to make a large comment block.
I want to acknowledge w3schools for this knowledge, just want you to share to all of you. It helps.

Split Posts
Newcastle, mark mCclelland
This was my first commissioned public artwork. I created fifteen individual pieces, inspired by the timber split posts in the original fence-line, and ran them along the five hundred metre front boundary of the development. This contained a beautiful irony as one of my first jobs was as a rural fencing contractor. The work also had a wayfinding component. As my first commissioned public artwork, this project really began my thinking about the role of art in public space.

McCarthy and Grant make for a delicious pair of miscreants in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, a memoir brimming with sharp wit and social observations.
Writer turned literary forger Lee Israel's confessional autobiography makes its way to the big screen with Can You Ever Forgive Me?, a memoir that features Melissa McCarthy in a more dramatic role than most filmgoers are probably used to seeing her tackle in the post-Bridesmaids stage of her career. At the same time, McCarthy has long specialized in bringing a rich sense of humanity to otherwise larger than life characters in her comedy work, and Israel is certainly a "character" in her own right. McCarthy and her co-lead Richard E. Grant were both widely celebrated for their performances during the film's festival run, and justly so. McCarthy and Grant make for a delicious pair of miscreants in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, a memoir brimming with sharp wit and social observations.
The films picks up with Lee in 1991, as the then-51 year old author finds herself struggling financially. Despite having made a successful living writing biographies about high-achieving women in the past, Lee's agent Marjorie (Jane Curtin) has begun routinely ignoring her calls and, when confronted, tells Lee that her kind of biographies simply aren't selling anymore. Desperate to make some money fast to cover her expenses (including, her rent and cat's veterinary bills), Lee begrudgingly decides to sell a personal letter written to her by Katharine Hepburn, as a thank-you for the profile that she authored.
However, even Lee is taken aback by how much dealers are willing to pay her for not only Hepburn's note, but also letters from deceased artists and writers. When Lee stumbles upon a similar letter while researching her next biography, she comes to realize that she can make even more money by adding content to further spice them up... or simply creating these letters from scratch. Before long, Lee ropes her drinking buddy and friend Jack Hock (Grant) into her newfound lucrative career as a forger. But how long can the pair keep their charade going before they're found out?
Israel's story was adapted for the screen by writer/filmmaker Nicole Holofcener (Enough Said) and playwright Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q), and very much benefits from their involvement as storytellers. Holofcener, of course, specializes in comedies of manners that embrace an openly caustic sense of humor yet paint their characters in various shades of grey, making the frequently prickly inhabitants of Lee's world the perfect match for her narrative sensibilities. Likewise, Whitty no doubt played a key role in helping Can You Ever Forgive Me? feel authentic in the way it examines the lonely experiences of two aging queer people (Lee and Jack), making their way in New York circa the early 1990s. Director Marielle Heller (The Diary of a Teenage Girl) doesn't shy away from Lee and Jack's unsavory aspects either, resulting in a biopic that's empathetic and open about its subjects, and recognizes that they don't need to be sugar-coated in order to be compelling.
Indeed, McCarthy and Grant make for one of the most (if not the most) delightful onscreen buddy duos of the year in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, whether they're drinking like fish or trading barbs as they enjoy a simple meal together. Both Lee and Jack are characters with "big" personalities that play to McCarthy and Grant's knack for comedy, yet the film also makes room for its stars to explore the pair's vulnerabilities, insecurities, and unscrupulous qualities in a honest and sometimes heart-breaking fashion. While Can You Ever Forgive Me? is McCarthy and Grant's show foremast, the supporting cast around them is quite strong in their own right. Actors like Curtin are excellent in their smaller roles here, though the standouts include Dolly Wells as Anna (a bookshop owner whose feelings for Lee are difficult to discern) and Anna Deavere Smith in a memorable single-scene turn as Elaine, Lee's ex-lover. And of course, McCarthy finds room for her husband Ben Falcone to make a brief appearance of his own as a not so trustworthy collector.
Heller is equally adept behind the camera on Can You Ever Forgive Me?, in the way that she allows the film to be performance-driven. The movie's craftsmanship isn't necessarily on the same level as its acting overall, but the cinematography by Brandon Trost (The Disaster Artist) succeeds in picking out minor details that help to immerse the audience in Lee's world of cluttered apartments and cramped book stores. Can You Ever Forgive Me?'s soundtrack further sets the mood and tone of Lee's story through its selections, especially romantically wistful songs such as Jen Southern's "I Thought of You Last Night" and Peggy Lee's "Street of Dreams". On the whole, the film's technical aspects do a nice job of enhancing its performances and writing without overshadowing them, down to the handsome tweed jackets and assorted '90s fashion recreated by costume designer Arjun Bhasin (Life of Pi).
The actual forgery story thread here isn't as engaging as Lee and Jack's day to day life, though that's partly by design, given the mundane nature of Lee's crimes. All the same, Can You Ever Forgive Me? doesn't go quite as far with its exploration of the demand for Lee's (fake) letters as it arguably could've, while still functioning as a character study, above all else. To be clear, though, the movie's shortcomings are pretty minor in this regard and, thus, easy to overlook - all the more so in light of the shrewd observations that it does make about how people are often deceived by their personal preconceptions about what is and isn't authentic, more than anything else.
All in all, Can You Ever Forgive Me? is an excellent memoir that's worth seeing for McCarthy and Grant's terrific performances alone (regardless of whether they end up gaining traction this awards season or not). Fans of Holofcener and/or Heller as storytellers should find all the more to appreciate here, in light of the film's shared ideas and themes with their previous work. It's similarly refreshing to see McCarthy examining darker character territory here, as entertaining as her broader and more lighter-hearted comedy efforts can be. Here's to looking forward to her continuing further down the same path next year, when she plays a mob wife-turned boss in The Kitchen.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? is now playing in select U.S. theaters and will expand to additional markets over the weeks ahead. It is 106 minutes long and is rated R for language including some sexual references, and brief drug use.

Helping People Realise Their full potential
Today, organisations exist in rapidly changing and competitive environments. The result is an increase in demands and pressures, whether it be in schools or workplaces.

Active listening for leaders
Being a great leader is not just about what you say and do, it involves listening to the voices of others too. Active listening is an essential leadership skill and core component of emotional intelligence.
The Importance of Showing Vulnerability
At a glance, vulnerability is seen as a weakness, particularly in business. When it comes to leadership, vulnerability is often treated as a liability for leaders. Leaders feel pressure to perform at a higher level.
Developing Emotional Intelligence
Our emotions drive our behaviour and have an impact on others. We respond to stimuli in our environment on an emotional level and many of our decisions are based on these feelings.
Praise for Mind Strength
Phil O'Prey, Partner, PwC
"Dr Lowinger is a revelation....she brings a fresh, practical approach to this ageless topic - how to achieve peak performance while still having fun? In my global role it could be easy to burn out quickly but by following Jodie's down to earth guidance and tips, I now find myself more invigorated and more motivated than ever."
Michael Finger, Director, Ray White Real Estate Double Bay
"I've spent many sessions over the years with trainers and motivators preaching dialogue that seemed to fade away almost immediately after the sessions were over. Your workshop was different. All those that attended were engaged, interested and left with an indelible message on how to change their lives and deal with those hurdles that stop one from growing in business and as a person. I feel confident your words of wisdom and unique approach to dealing with anxiety and demons will help our team excel in what is a tough competitive business. Thank you."
Anthony Romano, Director, L J Hooker Randwick
"Dr Jodie has been working with my team at L J Hooker Randwick for some time. Her realistic and personable approach and the way in which she communicates her program have all my staff motivated and looking forward to taking their careers to the next level. Recently, one of my staff walked into my office and said "I am not worried anymore, my thinking has changed because of Jodie". Dr Jodie Lowinger is the next Real Estate Super Coach."
CIO, Global FMCG Firm
"I went to Jodie because I wanted to prepare for a more senior executive role and needed to overcome some long-held performance barriers. I strongly believe that like athletes, high performers in the corporate world require first class coaching. Jodie leaves me with no doubt that she is in my corner and that I have the best coaching support that you can get. She has a rare combination of theoretical excellence and business acumen, but most importantly really cares about my personal and professional success. After only months with Mind Strength, I am seeing results. I am more resilient, have more confidence and am clearer about what I want to achieve. Jodie has helped me deal with self-doubt that has plagued me for my entire career, no matter how successful I have been. The skills I am developing are really making a difference. Through a focus on behavioural skills, building resilience, and setting out clear values-based goals, I am seeing results. Having Jodie as a coach feels like an unfair competitive advantage. I see her as my secret weapon."
"As men we are ok with having personal trainers to guide our physical health, we have boards and business coaches for professional guidance but we do very little to develop and coach our mental health and build mind strength. I have recently begun my Mind Strength journey with an incredible coach and mentor in Dr Jodie Lowinger. Boy I can tell everyone that of all the coaches and coaching I've had be it personal or professional she is up there with the best. Mind strength and mental health is key to so many areas of a man's life from the relationship with your wife and children to the success of your professional choices and career successes. It only makes sense to hone and develop these skills. That's why you need a great coach. Thanks Dr Lowinger."

Liam O'Rourke is the author behind the much-praised biography Crazy Like A Fox: The Definitive Chronicle of Brian Pillman 20 Years Later. He talks to SLAM! Wrestling in a question and answer session about the book.
SLAM! Wrestling: How did you get so many people to agree to participate in interviews for this book?
One of the really refreshing elements of putting the book together was that the people I spoke to really wanted to talk about Brian. It wasn't always easy to contact certain people, but as soon as I did, it was all totally positive. I think it says something about the subject that 20 years later people are so eager to talk about him, especially once my intentions of putting together something that would really do him justice came to the forefront. But yeah, relentless persistence was key in trying to make that first contact with folks. I very much had the attitude of, "This either gets done right or it doesn't see the light of day," which was a great motivator to stay on track and keep pressing on.
SLAM! Wrestling: One of the main features of this book is the detailed timeline of Brian's life. It seems as if very little is glossed over. Why did you decide to go into such detail about his background?
LIAM O'ROURKE: To me, the detail is the reason for the book's existence. There's a general knowledge of Brian's story amongst wrestling fans, that didn't need to be retold. However, there isn't a wide knowledge of exactly what really happened, blow by blow, in detail, and that's the stuff that makes Brian's case so captivating and so unique. It's one thing to say, "Brian was a small football player but he made the NFL," and it's another thing to really look at the situation, break down what happened and actually understand how and why he did it, to see how incredible that achievement really was. There's so much to Brian, his life story was so layered, that to reduce his talent and accolades to such a general overview (as they did in the WWE's DVD of him, by and large) is a gross injustice, and I really wanted to rectify that. The story of the Loose Cannon is another classic example -- people know he played a character 24/7, worked Eric Bischoff to create a bidding war and get a contract release, but how did it happen exactly? What were the motivations, what did Brian study to prepare for it, what did he learn, what was his approach, what was his mentality, how did he pull it off, what was the ebb and flow of events, what triggered what... and answering all those questions speaks so much to not only how remarkable he and his situation was, but tells you a lot about the wrestling business and the attitude at the time. That's the case throughout his entire life and throughout the book, I think.
SLAM! Wrestling: This story paints a complex picture of Pillman that shows him in so many different lights. How did you stay true to his story and not shy away from some of the more difficult aspects of his personality?
LIAM O'ROURKE: Brian was a very complex guy, and early on in the process it became clear that if you sidestep any element of his personality, you're missing a valuable piece of the puzzle. The charm to him, part of what is endearing or fascinating, however you interpret it, is his uniqueness as an individual. That he can be Brian Pillman the athlete, Brian Pillman the jock, Brian Pillman the scholar, Brian Pillman the wildman, Brian Pillman the sensitive soul, Brian Pillman the tough guy, Brian Pillman the father... at any given time, he's just all over the page. While I admire him in many ways, there's no desire from me to be anything other than honest and explore this incredible life story. The foibles and idiosyncrasies are part of what makes his story worth telling. It isn't a whitewash tale, there is a "warts and all" element to it, not because there's a narrative I wanted to push, but because it's what actually happened. In some ways those elements contributed to some of his successes, and for the sake of accuracy you have to include them. So to answer the question, it was actually easy to stay true to the story and incorporate some of those difficult aspects, because they are inextricably linked. To me, you can't tell the real story without them. A character is defined by the actions he takes and reactions to the situations he finds himself in, and the reason he's so interesting is because his actions and reactions weren't the same as everybody else. At all.
SLAM! Wrestling: Brian was without a doubt an achiever. Do you feel his drive was a double-edged sword?
LIAM O'ROURKE: Absolutely. And what's interesting is that I think you can see it in a lot of the guys of his ilk, the Chris Benoits and the Eddie Guerreros of the world. The types that, with the business being what it was at the time, were always going to have difficulties breaking out and being successful due to the inherent size prejudices, unless they had that abnormally heightened internal drive to succeed. Brian had it in him before wrestling, it's just the way he was wired, which comes out in the book when you look at the things he was doing to be exceptional at Miami of Ohio or in the Bengals mini-camp. One of the real issues is that, in many ways, there are things Brian did to get ahead that, really, he didn't need to do to be good enough, but he did them because he felt he had to. Things like adding so much size through steroids to get coaches to take him seriously, even though he had the stats to warrant the position and respect he craved, he just wouldn't be afforded the chance because of the stubbornness of the system. So he took whatever extra step he needed, since it was the only way to get ahead. Ultimately, it bleeds through to his wrestling career, but without that drive, is Brian Pillman special? Does he have a legacy as somebody on the cutting edge, on the cusp of megastardom on multiple occasions, if he doesn't have that determination to be exceptional? Probably not. But like you say, his life is probably longer too if that wasn't the case.
SLAM! Wrestling: Have you had any feedback from the wrestling community about this book?
LIAM O'ROURKE: So far it's all been very positive, and I think it's going to continue to grow. I didn't set out with a lofty goal with the book, I just thought the story, as I had researched it, was amazing and needed to be told correctly, in full. So to hear people praising the book as strongly as they have been has been extremely rewarding. I think some of the best feedback is hearing people that knew him best say that not only did it capture Brian perfectly, but captured the business as it was at the time as well. Particularly from a political standpoint and the stuff going on behind the scenes, that was very important to get right, to let the reader see things through Brian's eyes.
LIAM O'ROURKE: Simply put, the story itself is rich enough that, so long as I did a halfway decent job telling it, that's the way it's going come off. After years and years and years of Brian kicking and clawing through the insanity and politics trying to forge a path to greatness, he finds a way to do it -- his way. He uses his natural born talents to win over the entire world, he manipulates the manipulators and he beats the system. He's finally figured it all out, the guy that looked at the business as an outsider in some respects, because it wasn't his dream growing up. That element of detachment, even though he came to love the business, allowed him to see wrestling for what it was, and helped him look at it through a less-clouded lens than most. As a result, he'd become the most complete version of himself at the perfect time and the best years of his career were ahead of him. But back to that double-edged sword we go, and unfortunately we see him falter. Even knowing the story, doing the interviews, understanding the context I wanted to frame Brian's journey in, it was still utterly heartbreaking to write. To actually put this emotional rollercoaster on paper, particularly the chapters near the end as you say, it put me in a mild state of depression for a couple of days because it's just so sad. Brian had such a special quality, an aura, where you can really appreciate his drive and talent. He's so bold, so audacious, so determined and so talented, and he becomes such a chancer that you really want to see him pull it off and make it to the top. And he almost did.
SLAM! Wrestling: Has Brian's last wife had anything to so about the story?
LIAM O'ROURKE: Nothing. There's a lot going on in Melanie's life, it wouldn't be her primary concern, let's put it that way.
SLAM! Wrestling: Tell me about your wrestling fandom.
LIAM O'ROURKE: Been a fan since I was six -- my older brother has five years on me and he was a fan before I was, so it was a steady stream of early '90s WCW and WWF in my household for me to observe from afar and I fell in love with it quickly. From there I was just obsessed like so many others, devouring every tape or morsel of information I could, wanting to know more. Trained to wrestle in 2002/2003 at the FWA Academy in Portsmouth and have wrestled locally on and off for years, been a student of the business the entire time. Got a degree in Journalism and Editorial Design, so writing has always been an underlying passion as well, but it was never a set goal to write a wrestling book. It just sort of fell into place because I'm such an obsessive of learning the business that it dawned on me one day -- I have so much information on Pillman that most don't know or have access to, that I'm actually in a position to put something together here that could really contribute. There was always something intangible that caught my eye about Brian from the very beginning, that followed through to me training and wrestling, that I thought was magical, something I either wanted to capture or see captured by somebody else. Two decades on you realize you can't. That's why it's special in the first place.

Brian Solis' latest version of the Conversation Prism lists more than 250 social sites in widespread use today. With all that choice, how on earth do you choose where to be, especially when every day it seems a new site pops up? All, some, one, none?
At the iMedia Conference Saturday, I presented on how you can cut through the hype and make strategic decisions about what tools fit with your organization's audience, purpose, message and resources so you can manage social media—and not let it manage you.
If you weren't at the Conference, or you were but couldn't make it to my breakout session, here's the Prezi. There's not a lot of text in it, so I'll be fleshing it out on my blog over the next few weeks. However, for now, a brief outline and explanation (why is there a trashcan on those blog logos?) is below, too.
M is for Medium/Message
Marshall McLuhan said "The medium is the message." It's never been truer for social media. It's impossible to discuss one without the other.
The first thing you need to do is learn what's out there for mediums. It might seem counterintuitive to blow open the field when what we're trying to do is narrow it. However, every good strategy starts with research.
Brian Solis created and has been updating the conversation prism for several years now, and it's a great place to start. Each of these spokes is a broader category of social media type. You'll probably see a few logos you recognize. Use those to make some generalizations about others in the same spoke.
I mentioned we need to think about Medium and Message integrally. That's because each of these is best at certain types of messages and, like every technology, each has limitations that we need to consider. When it comes to what things are best at, we're talking about what performs best on each channel—what is most likely to lead to engagement.
How to keep up
Ssubscribe to blogs so you can at least scan the headlines for changes to old tools, new tools coming into vogue, and get tips and tricks for using them. However, here's my pro tip: If you don't have time to read the day's posts, delete them. If a tool or change is important enough, it will be there tomorrow, too.
A is for Audience
You need to understand the demographics, psychographics and technographics of your target audience. When we're talking demographics, we're talking about the where and when they are online. Psychographics are the beliefs, values, needs and wants. Technographics are six overlapping categories of social media participation. The term was coined by Forrester Research. They have a great online tool that lets you see how your audience's demographics measures up.
One of the best ways to do encapsulate all this info is to create a persona. This puts a face on your audience. Since the key thing about social media is the "social" thing, pretending that you're talking with a real person as you plan your messages will aid in your overall effectiveness.
Once you know where your audience is and what they're like, you can start to make decisions about which tools overlap with the tools you might have started thinking about in "M." Remember that your audience doesn't think about you nearly as often as you do. When you think about their needs, look beyond yourself and think about them in general.
P is for Purpose
What are your business goals? Your communication objectives? Your issues? Solis's spectrum can help explore areas in your plan where you might not have seen opportunities for social support. You'll also need tools for monitoring, issues and content management, and measurement.
And, if you need to "tell your story" you'll need a blog (this is the only time I tell you which tool to use).
S is for Scope
By now, you should have a list of possible places you should be, and why. You're looking for the most overlap between what you need, what your audience wants, and what the mediums are good at.
Now, narrow the list further by taking into account your resources: money, time, overall schedule and knowledge.
Think about opportunities for aggregation/time-saving.
Finally, think in terms of a holistic content strategy: rather than "I have to post to Facebook. And I have to tweet. And I have to blog. And I have an e-Newsletter to put out. And I have to pin something ... " look for ways to re-use content you're already generating, in multiple places—but tailor your posts for each platform. People really don't like hashtags on Facebook, and it's almost never cool to send people to Facebook from Twitter.
(For example, I was at this conference today, and I presented a couple breakout sessions. So I put it on my blog, and then I tweeted about it. I'll also post links to Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., right from Hootsuite. And, I shared the presentation on Prezi, which I embedded above. See how much mileage I got out of the effort of preparing the session?)
Let me know if this helps you with your platform selection in the comments.

Literary Wall Decor
I love these posters that can be purchased from the Canadian site Postertext.
The text behind the posters are from the books the scenes illustrate. Genius! I'm going to have to get the Gatsby one. And definitely Frankenstein, which goes down as one of my favorite books ever. And probably Dracula, too. And Jane Eyre for my mom (her fave). And they're taking suggestions! How sweet would a bullfighting scene set in front of The Sun Also Rises?? I'm getting way too excited about this. Buy buy buy.

Football coach Bob Higgins jailed for 24 years for abusing trainees
A former youth football coach has been jailed for 24 years and three months for abusing young players.
Bob Higgins sexually touched and groped 24 victims, most of them trainees at Southampton FC and Peterborough United.
In May, Higgins, 66, was found guilty at a retrial of 45 counts of indecent assault between 1971 and 1996. He was convicted of another count last year.
Judge Peter Crabtree called Higgins a "predatory, cunning" serial sex abuser who "carefully groomed" the teenagers.
Higgins' victims told Winchester Crown Court of suicidal thoughts and relationship problems later in life.
An emotional statement, read by Dean Radford on behalf of the victims on the steps of the court, said Higgins' "arrogance was his downfall".
"You can call us brave, you can call us courageous – we were not – we were the unlucky ones for falling into the entrapment of Higgins's manipulative, deceitful and sexual behaviour," it said.
During Higgins' trial, prosecutors told the court he was "idolised" by trainees, who viewed him as a mentor and father figure.
Victims said they were abused during post-exercise soapy massages, in Higgins' car while he played love songs on the stereo and at his home where he cuddled with boys on his sofa.
'Severe psychological harm'
Judge Crabtree said Higgins had shown "not one jot of remorse".
"They believed you held the key to their futures," he told the defendant.
"You normalised cuddling and stroking, which paved the way for more intimate abuse.
"For many the impact extended to their performance on the field or to turning their backs on a football career. Some of them suffered severe psychological harm."
Higgins made no reaction as the sentence was passed.
The allegations arose after the NSPCC set up a dedicated helpline for people who had encountered childhood abuse within football.
It was launched after a number of former footballers, including Billy Seymour, spoke on the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme in November 2016.
Higgins stood trial last year, but a retrial was ordered after jurors failed to reach verdicts on 48 counts of indecent assault.
Mr Seymour, a Southampton youth player who went on to play for Coventry City and Millwall, had waived his right to anonymity to speak publicly.
He gave evidence at last year's trial but was killed in a car crash in January before Higgins' retrial.
On Tuesday, his mother Jean read his victim impact statement, written before his death, to the court.
Addressed to Higgins, it said: "I am sick to my stomach of giving you any more thought. I have been a broken man. You have debilitated my whole life.
"The mist is clearing. I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.
"I will beat the hating of you in my soul. This is closure. Goodbye, Bob Higgins."
Mr Radford had given evidence as a character witness because Higgins was found not guilty of abusing him at a separate trial in the early 1990s.
Reading the victims' statement, he said: "There were so many warning signs out there but no-one would listen – that let this monster walk free and carry on abusing.
"We believe that many people must have known what was going on, the truth will come out in the end.
"Today is not just about us complainants and witnesses who have suffered through this nightmare, it's the wives, girlfriends, sons and daughters who have suffered with us."
He also paid tribute to their "dear friend" Billy Seymour.
"We did it Billy – just like you said we would, you can now rest in peace."
'Further allegations'
Det Ch Insp David Brown, of Hampshire Constabulary, said the conviction was "testament to the bravery of those who came forward to give evidence".
"There can be no understanding of the damage that individual has caused to the lives of the people who stood with us through the criminal trial".
He said the force was "assessing a number of reports" of further allegations against Higgins.
Southampton FC offered an "unreserved apology" to his victims last week.
In a statement, the club said it recognised boys under its care "suffered exposure to abuse when they should have received protection from any form of harm".
'Keep quiet or risk losing everything'
During his time as a coach, Bob Higgins worked with young footballers who would go on to become national heroes and household names.
But others were not so fortunate.
Some were haunted by their ordeals, and gave up on football entirely.
Such was Higgins's hold over those he abused, many felt unable to say anything, even to close family members, for up to 30 years.
