Alice in Innovationland
Published by Flavio on 17 July 2021 17 July 2021
Some days ago, I stumbled across an excerpt from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened and known as "Alice in Wonderland"), an 1865 novel by Lewis Carroll. The following dialogue caught my eye:
Alice asked the Cat: "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
Alice continued: "I don't much care where."
"Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.", answered the Cat.
"… so long as I get somewhere …", murmured Alice.
The Cheshire Cat: "Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough."
Lewis Carroll, 1865 in Alice in Wonderland
Walking the Innovation Wonderland
I wondered: How can we apply this to innovation? According to J. A. Schumpeter, innovation is "the doing of new things or the doing of things that are already done, in a new way." But there's more. A newer formula by M. Kägi states that INNOVATION = INVENTION + REALIZATION + CUSTOMER VALUE + SUCCESS.
A post shared by inspiique (@inspiique)
But how do you know there will be success? Long story short: You have to figure that out! Innovations can create opportunities, but also come with a high amount of risks (e.g. missing the market, wrong time, too late, not accepted from the market, run out of money…). There's a lot of uncertainty here. New and promising for you doesn't simply mean that you're going for gold; it could be seen worse than existing options or not as (additionally) valuable at all. That's why even big successful companies cannot always succeed in future (e.g. Kodak) – they have to adapt. Using existing technology and maintaining market leadership through incremental improvements… And suddenly you will get overtaken by some fancy new technology player you 3 months ago you said that their solution is "lousy". The wonderful scenic place you have built in the past fades away. So… Is there a dilemma in Wonderland?
Lets try to link the dialogue above to innovation:
How do you "get there" when you don't know where "there" is? You cannot decide/plan a route to the destination when you don't know where to head at. You need a north star in order to focus your actions. In addition, guard rails are needed, especially in the innovation process. The playground must be defined.
Even if you don't know where exactly to go (goals can shift -> moving targets), you should go forward. This requires courage. "If you don't move forward, sooner or later you begin to move backward." (Mikhail Gorbachev in Harvard Magazine)
"If you only walk long enough." means that you need endurance. As Thomas Edison said: "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." Doing innovation is not a 100m run; it's more like an adventurous marathon.
If Alice in 2021 had an idea, perhaps the Cheshire Cat would respond in a different way. So a newer dialogue between Alice and the Cat would probably be like this:
Alice in Innovationland (Wonderland 2.0)
"I have an awesome idea 'bout something new.", said Alice to the Cat. "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?", she asked.
"I don't care, as it's an outstanding idea on its own!", Alice replied.
The Cheshire Cat said: "Well, you should consider what problem you want to solve and what motivation you have when it comes to solving it. Put your "Plan A" on paper and think about where the most critical assumptions are hidden. These are the first things you should check."
"But what skills do I need for that?", Alice wondered.
The Cat said: "It's all about being able to move fast, and listening to customers." (*)
"Furthermore…", the Cat added, "you should test the hypotheses through experiments/prototypes and bring an MVP to market. While doing so, you develop the underlying business model step-by-step, starting from the initial "Plan A".
"Sounds reasonable", Alice murmured, "what is this approach called?"
"Lean Innovation", said the Cat, and added: "See… No fairytale at all 😀"

Day 3 >
Day 3 Trieste
This morning we transfer from the hotel, by boat, directly to Santa Lucia station on the Grand Canal. Here our private train, the Golden Eagle Danube Express, is ready to receive us. Mid-morning the train will thread its way out Santa Lucia station onto the 3-mile causeway over the Venice Lagoon and on to on our first stop at the Italian port city of Trieste, for an afternoon tour. We stop at the vast Piazza Unita d'Italia, the main town square, and can climb the hill to the famous Church of San Giusto built around a medieval complex that dates backs to the 13th century. We will go inside the church for a close-up view of the splendid Byzantine-style architecture enriched with precious mosaics.
< Days 1-2 Day 4 >
Day 4 Ljubljana
Ljubljana is a delightful city, a combination of ancient architecture and a youthful culture. Our morning city tour includes visits to Preseren Square, Three Bridges, Dragon Bridge and Plecnik Market. We enjoy lunch back onboard the train as we travel onwards towards Croatia's elegant capital Zagreb.

We will also see the ornate buildings of the lower town and its wide boulevards.
< Day 3 Day 5 >
Day 5 Mostar
Early morning arrival into the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo which is an intriguing blend of Eastern and Western culture; it has mosques and minarets, an ancient bazaar and an atmospheric old Turkish quarter. Discover the city's poignant history through a truly absorbing tour detailing the horrors of the Balkan War. Sarajevo suffered from the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare. The scars of war are still evident as we travel past war-torn buildings and we make a special visit to the Tunnel Museum under Sarajevo Airport. Your guide, who lived through the 1992-1996 conflict, brings to life in touching fashion the struggles the citizens of Sarajevo faced during the siege of the city.
Following a light lunch in Sarajevo, this afternoon we travel along a very scenic line to the historic city of Mostar, the crossroads of many civilizations, cultures and three religions. Mostar was one of the most important cities of the Ottoman Empire. The town's renowned stone arch bridge linking the Christian and Muslim areas was re-built in the summer of 2004. We also visit Turkish House and the mosque before walking through the narrow, bazaar streets, where you can shop for traditional souvenirs and handicrafts.
Day 6 Dubrovnik
Since its foundation in the 13th century Dubrovnik has been attacked many times but it is now restored as one of the great cities of the Mediterranean, essentially unchanged for 700 years. We will tour the city travelling through Ploce Gate to visit the Franciscan Monastery with one of the world's oldest pharmacies, the Old Harbour, St Laurence Fortress and the Rector's Palace. We have lunch overlooking the Adriatic and have free time to wander the narrow streets. Mid-afternoon we head back to the train in Mostar for dinner as we depart towards Serbia.
Day 7 Belgrade

Day 8 Skopje
Overnight the train twists and turns as it climbs over the Carpathian Mountains and threads its way through the dramatic landscape with crystal clear mountain streams.
This morning we arrive in Sinaia for a tour of Peles Castle. The castle is a masterpiece of German new-Renaissance architecture, considered by many one of the most stunning castles in Europe. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1873 and completed in 1883, the castle served as the summer residence of the royal family until 1947. Its 160 rooms are adorned with the finest examples of European art, Murano crystal chandeliers, German stained-glass windows and Cordoba leather-covered walls.
Returing to our private train for lunch we continue onto Brasov in the afternoon for a visit to Bran Castle. Surrounded by an aura of mystery and legend and perched high atop a 200-foot-high rock, the 14th century castle owes its fame to its imposing towers and turrets as well as to the myth created around Bram Stocker's Dracula. Following a tour of the castle and its surroundings we will enjoy a gala dinner tonight inside the castle walls.
Day 9 St Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia
The site of Bulgaria's modern capital, at the foot of Mt Vitosha, Sofia was first occupied by the Thracian tribe of Serdi. On our morning tour we will visit sections of the Roman wall, admire the ancient church of St George, the golden domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Turkish Bashi Mosque.
We enjoy lunch on the train as we travel from Sofia to Plovdiv. The second largest city in Bulgaria after Sofia, 'The City of Seven Hills' is one of the oldest cities in Europe with more than 200 known archaeological sites. We spend the afternoon here exploring the Roman Forum and Amphitheatre. We'll visit the charming Old Town including its medieval walls and Ottoman baths
< Day 8 Days 10-11 >
Days 10-11 Istanbul
This morning we arrive into Istanbul where we stay for one night at a five-star hotel.
This fabled city that spans Asia and Europe is our final stop on our tour so there is time to see how old meets new, east meets west when we visit Istanbul's must-see historic sites. One of the most famous monuments in both the Turkish and Islamic worlds, the Sultan Ahmet Mosque (the Blue Mosque) is a superb creation in the classical Ottoman style and features six towering minarets and 260 windows illuminating its vast main chamber, which is decorated with more than 20,000 Iznik tiles.
Now a museum, Hagia Sophia was built in the 6th century by the Emperor Justinian, and was one of the largest basilicas in the Christian world. After the Ottoman conquest, it was converted to a mosque and is today one of the most magnificent museums in the world. Take a moment to linger here to admire the fine Byzantine mosaics.
Following breakfast on Day 11 you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back home (Flights not Included).

Concert pour la Planète
Festival du Forez
Christian-Pierre La Marca
"Christian-Pierre La Marca succeeds with Lise de la Salle on a collective work, elaborate technique and sensitivity with the singing and expressive lines connect to a unity."
— DER SPIEGEL
"La Marca excelled throughout, creating a prickly sense of foreboding. The zenith of the evening was undoubtedly the achingly elegiac third movement, Assez lent, where all musicians were exceedingly good. Here, cellist Christian Pierre La Marca really shone, enveloping the hall with a dark, sepulchral energy."
— LIMELIGHT MAGAZINE
"There was nothing surreal about this concert, this youthful ensemble fashioned performances that were consistently well crafted, expressively searching and technically brilliant."
— THE AUSTRALIAN
"The passion and precision was immediately apparent. Indeed, there have been many times where I have wanted to break out in applause midwork in response to virtuosity but restrain yourself, such was the impulse a number of times during the piece. (…) leaving the audience spiritually uplifted and crying for more…"
— THE HERALD
"Jia and La Marca find in Beethoven's Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, Violoncello and Orchestra, reinforced by Markus Wolf, an almost perfect balance between inside and outside, chamber music intimacy and virtuoso playing brilliance. Thanks to him that the work does not mutate into a combination of three soloist, but becomes a model of musical communication."
— SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
"Christian-Pierre La Marca has demonstrated that in trio, in duos or alone, he is able to compete with the greatest. Maybe simply because he belonged to them."
— LE MONDE DE LA MUSIQUE
"The work shows his abiding love for the cello, which often gets the best tunes in his late works, and La Marca's handling of the andante second movement was a highlight. This was a wonderful nuanced performance with Schubert's sparkling melodies shining through."
— THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
"Christian-Pierre La Marca shares a view of music as an art of sensibility. For his first CD, the duo has selected gems from the French and Russian repertoire, small-scale and weighty, and with what uncompromising devotion they play with their courage for passion and pathos, yet far from kitsch and cliché - that has something compelling."
— CRESCENDI
"A wild-romantic breath in the highly expressive playing of the musicians. A benefit from La Marca's singing cello tone"
"Alert, responsive and lively, this young artist explored sounds with engaging attentiveness"
— THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
"Certainly their performances were immaculately finished and polished, but warmer and flexible. La Marca's soulful cello (…) contributed to a performance of great expressive breadth and intensity.
— THE ADVERTISER
"If one can say that they burn into the marble, it is because their playing, for musicians on the edge of their career, reflects a maturity, an accomplishment and a confounding perfection. Rarely Schubert's music have held its nocturnal sabbaths under firmaments so poetically constellated."
— TELERAMA
"For a first attempt, it is a masterstroke ! Their interpretation, homogeneous and expressive, modern and
sensitive is worthy of the greatest."
— L'EXPRESS
"He understood everything of Schubert (...) An understanding as sensitive as intellectual, served by an instrumental technique docile to the slightest subtleties of the text. (...) One thing is sure : he has entered the class of the great ones."
— DIAPASON
"Their gamble is successful : their trios compare favorably with those of Stern/Istomin/Rose or Beaux-Arts Trio. This ensured musical vision, from an unfailing reading (...) goes far beyond the only ensemble work (...) and comes to the immediate musical osmosis. These three young people are a trio, a real one. (...) Everything leave us to believe that we have - without a doubt - found successors to the Beaux Arts Trio."
— CLASSICA
"Qualities are not missing : contrasts of discourse (with a wide of dynamic range), clarity of phrasing, clarity of structure, here are so many virtues that distinguish exceptional musicians, added to a remarkable science of transitions, with a sincere expression and a real conviction."
— CONCERTONET

Aurora Approved for Malta's First Cultivation Facility
Olivia Da Silva
July 24 | 2018
Aurora Cannabis (TSX:ACB) has been approved to establish Malta's first cannabis production facility, which will be run under a new subsidiary of the company, Aurora Malta.
The approved application entails the development of a seed-to-pharma cannabis operation, which will include the construction of a hybrid cultivation, manufacturing and distribution facility. According to a press release from Aurora on Tuesday (July 24), this is the first cultivation Letter of Intent (LOI) issued by Maltese authorities to date.
The company's new subsidiary is to be formed with Aurora's Maltese partner Cherubino, the largest pharmaceutical wholesaler in the country; however, Aurora will be the majority shareholder in the venture.
Aurora will be allocated land for the facility's development by Malta Industrial Parks, with Aurora Larssen Projects designing the space and local experts helping with the building process. Aurora has collaborated with Cherubino on concept development for medicinal cannabis cultivation that meets the standards of Malta's Production of Cannabis for Medicinal and Research Purpose Act, 2018.
While the facility will help serve Malta's domestic market, the country's location will also help serve export markets throughout Europe. Chief global business development officer, Neil Belot, highlighted the country's location as a major bonus from the venture in a statement.
"Aurora already was the first company to export medical cannabis to both Italy and Malta, and now are the first to receive approval for the production, processing, and distribution of cannabis in the country," Belot said.
"Having an EU GMP compliant facility in Malta will position us well to serve multiple international markets, including Southern Europe and beyond. We are delighted to have Cherubino as our local partner, whose professionalism, reputation and standing in Malta were instrumental in establishing a local presence. We look forward to creating a thriving Maltese business, generating significant employment opportunities, and serving medical patients with high-quality cannabis products."
Aurora's stock price took a hit on Tuesday, tumbling 7.27 percent to C$7.14 as of 3:06 p.m. EST.

Once upon a time there was a girl with two younger sisters. Their parents had been on a two-three week holiday without them but brought them t-shirts back. They made them wear these t-shirts to take a photo and not only that they gave them identical haircuts and made them tuck those t-shirts into their pants.
The girl was kind of sick of looking like her sisters so she thought she'd dress up Spanish for the day. Luckily it coincided with an international theme at school.
The girls parents liked buying more matching items of clothing for the two older girls while the younger girl generally had the hand-me-downs. The girls were also made to collect the eggs and help feed the pigs.
The girl played in her school's fife band and they used to go to Nuriootpa for band competitions every year. (She's the 2nd one from the left in the top row). The band weren't really that musical but they looked pretty damn good in their red and white uniforms with the girls wearing bobby socks.
The girls' aunt got married so she invited the girls to be her flower girls. The girls' mum made all their dresses while the bride's mum made hers. The mum kept all the bridesmaid dresses until quite recently but the girl said that she didn't want to keep it. She didn't think her son would want to wear it.
Once upon a time the girl swam in a swimming pool that didn't have a great big fence around it. Her Nana always supervised her and her sisters to make sure they were safe. Nana isn't around any more but her memory definitely lingers on and the girl's sister lives in the same apartment. The pool is still there too but now it has a great big fence around it and a list of rules as long as your arm.
This was when JJ was three months old at my birthday barbeque. I can't believe I organised a barbeque for my birthday when JJ was so little. I haven't had a barbeque for ages and I'm seven years into this motherhood thing.
The fog after having a newborn had lifted for me one month earlier and I felt half human again. I'd lost all my baby weight and actually looked fairly good. He'd also started sleeping at night and, finally, during the day which helped enormously. I was hugely focused on getting him to sleep in those early months and it paid large dividends. I could take him to parties and put him to bed and not be worried about him waking up and never going back to sleep. If I couldn't have done that then I would have had NO social life.
I do remember at this barbeque feeling really lacking socially. I'd been out of practise and had forgotten how to do small talk. Small talk is not one of my strong points anyway but I felt quite socially awkward and it wasn't very nice.
It took a while, and a few more social outings, to regain some of that back. I wonder if I was alone in this or have any mothers who read this felt the same thing when they became mums for the first time?

If you decide not to purchase your solar system in cash, financing options like a $0 down solar loan or solar lease allow you to go green and save money spent on your electricity.
Solar loans are a perfect option for those who want ownership of their new solar system. With our multiple loan options, you can finance the entire cost of your system, meaning zero down. Owning the system also comes with additional financial benefits.
The ultimate goal here is to replace your current utility bill with a lower solar payment that will never increase (unlike the utility companies, who increase rates every year).
If you sign a solar lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), you are "renting" the solar panel system from the solar company that owns it. While there is typically a zero down option, the cost of your new solar lease may be a bit higher than a solar loan, mainly because of included maintenance and insurance costs.
Need Help Deciding Between a Loan or a Lease?
Watch this quick EnergySage video put together to help understand the benefits and differences of each solar financing option.

Blues defender Kyprianou enjoys unexpected return to action
Southend United defender Harry Kyprianou enjoys unexpected return to action
By Chris Phillips @cjphillips1982 Chief sports reporter
Unexpected return - Harry Kyprianou started for Southend United against Forest Green Rovers last night
HARRY Kyprianou made an impressive yet unexpected return to action for Southend United but was still left feeling frustrated.
The left-back was drafted into the Shrimpers starting line-up just seconds before kick off against Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday night after Tom Clifford's back went into spasm when the teams were in the tunnel.
But Kyprianou was disappointed he could not stop the bottom of the table Blues suffering another defeat as he knows Mark Molesley's side must quickly start to turn things around.
"A point would've been fair and we deserved more from the game but we can't keep saying that," said the 23-year-old.
"It needs to happen now because we need to start picking up the points."
The Shrimpers are now six points from safety with just one win to their name all season.
But Kyprianou feels the recent performances offer cause for optimism moving forward.
"I obviously wasn't at the Walsall game but I knew how well the boys did to get the win there," said the defender.
"We were confident going into this game but it wasn't to be in the end.
"We showed more of what we need to be doing and we need to keep doing that but we're still positive about things."
And Kyprianou is enjoying being back in the fold after spending a month out on loan with National League side Bromley.
"The loan did me good," said Kyprianou.
"I got some good minutes in and it was the first good group of games I've had since my injury so it got me more match fit."
Kyprianou made four appearances while with Bromley before heading back to Blues and being called into action on Tuesday night.
"It was about one minute before the game I found out I was playing," said Kyprianou.
"I think Cliffy (Tom Clifford) was struggling with his back so I ended up starting but I was ready to go.
"We're just disappointed to not get at least a point. We had some good chances and on another night we take them and we might came away with the three points."
Blues will now be desperate to bounce back against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.

Opinion poll shows support waning for French 'yellow vest' rallies
An opinion survey published this week has found a majority of those questioned wish an end to the rolling 'yellow vest' street protests centred on falling standards of living for low-and middle-income earners, although most still continue to sympathise with the demands of the movement.
More than half of France's population want the "gilets jaunes" (yellow vests) anti-government protests to stop, with two out of three people no longer believing the demonstrations reflect the group's initial demands, according to a latest opinion poll, reports Euronews.

Clean power: methanol
Is methanol the future of marine fuel?
As the maritime industry heads into the final run-up to the 2020 global sulfur cap, cleaner marine fuels could be the answer to lower emissions. In this second post of the "clean power" series, we discuss the viability of methanol as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative.
During the combustion stage, conventional marine fuels such as heavy fuel oil emit huge levels of sulfur and nitrous oxides into the atmosphere, harming the environment. It is for this reason, that regulations such as the global sulfur limit are entering force to reduce harmful pollutants emitted by vessel exhausts. In preparation for these stricter regulations, the prevalence of low sulfur fuel oils (LSFO) is increasing. One of the world's top five chemical commodities, methanol is ultra-low in sulfur emissions and is readily available—but is it a realistic option for maritime?
A cleaner, greener alternative
Methanol is a clean-burning fuel meaning that it produces much fewer environmentally damaging particulates than conventional fuels. While methanol is a naturally occurring chemical, it can be produced from a variety of renewable sources making it a sustainable option for the maritime industry. On an industrial scale, methanol is mainly produced using natural gas produced from substances such as biomass or black liquor from the paper industry. This gas is reformed using steam and distilled to create pure methanol. An exciting notion put forward by Nobel Prize winner George Olah is that methanol could even be produced from recycled carbon dioxide (CO2)—thus further reducing the impact of CO2 as a greenhouse gas.
The substance is not only organic and water soluble, but it also has a sulfur content of under 0.1%—meaning that it is competitive with even ultra-low sulfur fuel oils. As such a low-emission fuel, vessels powered by methanol will comply with the stricter regulations entering force in the near future.
What advantages can methanol offer the maritime industry?
The available supply infrastructure for methanol is a great advantage, as it is a substance used in many household products and has long been used to fuel racing cars. Due to this, the maritime industry would benefit from facilities for handling, storage, and bunkering being already in place and methanol is present in hundreds of ports worldwide. These existing facilities will also provide ship operators with vital knowledge on how to handle methanol safely.
Methanol may not be the fuel of the masses by 2020, but it could be the marine fuel of choice for a broad category of vessels through the remainder of the century and beyond.
Chris Chatterton, CEO of the Methanol Institute, cited in World Maritime News
New precautions and concerns
Safety is an important concern in view of the fact that methanol is highly toxic to humans. The Methanol Institute recommends that personnel working with methanol wear detection monitors that alert them to potentially harmful levels of methanol vapor. This will require ship operators to provide new equipment and training to their crews to ensure health and safety. Training will also be vital for crews to deal with leaks or spills that may lead to fires, especially as methanol has twice the auto-ignition temperature of diesel and its flames are barely visible.
An additional consideration for methanol as a fuel is that engines must be created using methanol compatible materials, as methanol is highly corrosive. A ship's engine will require modifications in order to withstand the higher corrosive properties of methanol, including the need for increased lubrication to prevent excessive wear.
Readily available and ready to go
There are already cases of vessels running on methanol: Waterfront Shipping, for example, has seven ocean-going vessels in its fleet that are capable of running on methanol as a fuel. As methanol is a liquid at ambient temperatures, converting the ship's engine to run on the chemical would not be costly or complicated in comparison to LNG or fuel cells. Cases such as these prove methanol to be a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance fuel which the maritime industry can benefit from.
Methanol is already proving itself as a viable option for the maritime industry. While current cases of methanol-powered vessels are few, they provide a strong argument for the environmental friendliness and cost-efficiency the substance offers as a marine fuel. Giving off much lower levels of harmful pollutants, a switch to methanol can help shipping companies comply with stricter environmental regulations with little effort and cost.

How amazing is this photo? Berlyn looks incredibly enthusiastic. But little does she know that that hot dress she's wearing belonged to me. I wore it when I was 18 months old in a hanous photograph where I was holding a teddy bear and looking forelorn, much like Berlyn does here.
I can't get over the oven mitt while grabbing the food. Too funny.
Are those Frye Campus boots you are sporting in the second picture? Because I want them.
In the last photo, Berlyn=Laura Ingalls Wilder. I'd be cranky, too. Life on the farm is HARD.
That last one of Berlyn is straight classic…what are the odds that you can track down the picture of you wearing it?
I love the family photo! It's beautiful.


Summer can be a difficult time for people with summertime eczema flare ups. Between common skin irritants causing itchy flare ups or feeling embarrassed about red rashes or scaly skin, it can be tempting to want to stay indoors with pants and long sleeves on summer days, wishing for autumn to come!
But with these tips, you can feel confident about enjoying the long sunny days of summer.
Sunscreen and pool chlorine are common skin irritants that eczema sufferers encounter over the summer. Adults who have a history with eczema will generally know what will trigger a flare up.
Read the ingredient label of sunscreen carefully, avoiding products with added fragrances, which could trigger a flare up or further irritate sensitive skin. When choosing a sunscreen, look for a product that is formulated for sensitive skin and approved by dermatologists. Moisturizing ingredients such as Vitamin E can also help soothe dry, itchy skin. Keep in mind that sunscreens labeled "natural" or "organic" may still contain plant-based additives that can trigger an eczema flare up.
The chlorine levels in public swimming pools are carefully monitored to ensure that people are kept safe, both from bacteria in the water and from chemical burns (both of which are extremely rare!). That said, the drying effect that chlorine has on sensitive skin, especially for people with eczema, cannot be overlooked. Whether you're lounging or swimming laps, always rinse your skin thoroughly with a mild cleanser and pat dry with a soft towel. Apply a non-greasy moisturizing cream or lotion afterwards.
If your eczema is being treated with a prescription topical steroid cream, be sure to ask your dermatologist how the sun will affect your skin. Topical steroids impair the barrier function of your skin, making your skin more sensitive to UV rays. Be sure to ask how your prescription interacts with sunscreens or insect repellants.
During an eczema flare up, especially if your arms or legs are affected, you may feel embarrassed to wear shorts and a t-shirt. It's important to know that you're not alone in feeling this way! Here are some ways to feel more comfortable about your eczema when you're in public.
For some eczema sufferers, especially those who are sensitive to sunscreens, wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt and long pants may be the option that you feel most comfortable with. If your eczema affects your scalp, a hat, scarf or bandana cannot only protect your scalp from the sun, but be made to be a fun fashion accessory. Some shirts, pants, hats and scarves even have built-in SPF protection – ideal for eczema sufferers sensitive to sun and sunscreen!
There are some cosmetics that may be used to cover up thickened or scarred skin. Talk to your dermatologist or another skin care expert for a product that is suitable for your skin type.
If you have been newly diagnosed with eczema, you may feel awkward during the summertime, when it seems like everyone else around you is wearing shorts and t-shirts. Instead of feeling embarrassed about an eczema flare up, think of it as an opportunity to share your eczema story. Eczema sufferers are eager to share their tips for soothing dry sky, minimizing itchiness and managing flare-ups. Remind people that eczema is not contagious, sometimes it's simply letting others know that eczema is a normal skin condition.
With these suggestions, you can make the most of the wonderful weather and sunny days with a skin care routine that heals and protects your skin and consider shorts and t-shirt (instead of covering up) a chance to educate people about eczema.

A former hostel client with Honey, the therapy dog.
A ground-breaking approach to helping rough sleepers overcome past trauma has achieved huge success, leading to hopes its approach can be expanded across the UK.
In the last three years, the Waterloo Project – a hostel round the corner from the station – has achieved a staggering 82 per cent reduction in the number of its residents who return to sleeping rough, an 87 per cent reduction in prison stays, and a 58 per cent reduction in people ending up in A&E.
Even more remarkably, it has achieved this success while working with what its team describe as the most vulnerable people with 'multiple, complex needs'.
These are chronic rough sleepers, many of whom have a host of mental and physical health problems and have cycled through support services, prison and back onto the streets, perhaps several times over.
What makes the Waterloo Project different to other services, is the one-on-one and group psychological support from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is offered within the hostel itself, acknowledging that expecting its users to make and stick to allocated appointments elsewhere is simply too big an ask.
Instead, it's all about offering support on their own terms, and not labelling them as 'non-engagers'.
Dr Emma Williamson, clinical psychologist and Psychology in Hostels Service clinical lead at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, told the News the experience of homelessness itself is highly traumatic, but behind this many of the people she treats have had difficult childhoods.
She says research shows that around 85% of those in touch with criminal justice, substance issue and homelessness services have experienced trauma as children. Around sixty per cent of rough sleepers were raised in care.
The hostel has nineteen beds and is run by charity Thames Reach and funded by Lambeth Council.
Often, the biggest hurdle to overcome is an innate mistrust of people and support services when they have been let down before: "Long-term rough sleepers become everybody's problem but no one's problem", is how Emma describes the system.
The hostel has no 'exclusionary criteria', and will take on people whether they are still drinking, taking drugs or where other placements have failed in the past, as long as the safety of staff and other residents is not jeopardised.
Silvia Obrador, who manages the day-to-day running of the hostel, describes it as the best she's worked in, but doesn't gloss over the challenges of working with vulnerable people.
Psychological support is offered in a 'light touch' way.
Far from not engaging, in the last three years, nearly eighty per cent of its residents have attended more than 1,600 therapy sessions.
Their next step – usually within a one to three years – depends on the individual's own circumstances.
Some may move into temporary accommodation with slightly less support, a rehab facility, or some may move into a home of their own.
Dr Williamson says it can take her up to a year of tiny steps forward, perhaps through chatting over a cup of tea or asking about a physical health problem, before someone will open up about what they are going through.
But when they do, they quickly make progress, with her research showing that after at least thirteen sessions they will begin to deal with the root causes that have led to their crisis.
Emma told the paper of her pride in one man who now is in a long-term relationship with a partner, but when he came to the hostel was dealing with trauma from childhood abuse in care.
Another resident was once so traumatised and suffering from serve anxiety that he would quickly become aggressive to staff when feeling under threat, resulting in evictions in the past.
But once the team realised anxiety was driving his behaviour, they were able to change their approach to one that worked better for him, leading him to sustain his accommodation, having never lived anywhere as an adult for longer than two months.
"We had a man staying here who really enjoyed art and he now teaches art therapy after studying a fine art degree.
Work like this is expensive, but long-term keeping people from reoffending and out of A&E or other crises makes a huge difference to already over-stretched services.
Dr Williamson is now hoping the project will be used as a template in other parts of London and the UK.
Mark had been homeless on and off for more than a decade when he arrived at The Waterloo Project.
He experienced abuse as a child and in adulthood tragically lost his partner, all traumas compounded by sleeping on the streets.
Mark began to drink and take drugs as a coping mechanism, to try and suppress bad memories.
Although he tried staying in hostels, he found himself fleeing contact with professionals, having problems with other residents, and ended up in a cycle of bouncing back from hostels to the streets.
Mark has now been at The Waterloo Project for almost a year and although he still drinks, he no longer uses drugs.
He is slowly taking part in regular art groups and beginning to speak with psychologists.


I'm working on a graphic novel that will use both prose and what I call 'story paintings' – images which sequentially tell a tale. This series includes color oil paintings and black and white acrylics. The paintings range in size from 30 X 42 inches to 84 X 84 inches. They are narrative and serve two functions. They stand alone as paintings but also will be used in photocopy reduced size form to create the graphic novel.

The biggest thing I look forward to is learning something new every day that's often unpredictable. On top of that I can see the positive impact of what we are working towards. I'm motivated by the power of our technology and the challenge of making it a reality.
In the three years that I've been at Stratos Genomics I've experienced a number of big wins. My biggest personal win is my contribution to developing the assay that we use to screen mutant polymerases for desirable traits in our sequencing technology. It's now a robust, high-throughput assay that has allowed us to analyze thousands of mutant polymerases. It has also led us to many improved polymerases that play a big role our technology today. We use this assay daily and I still get excited with each new batch of polymerases that we analyze. I'm always looking at the data as it's generated to see if we have a new, best polymerase!
When I'm not working I like to spend time with friends: it can be snowboarding, climbing, having a beer at a local brewery, playing board game, catching a movie, or any number of other activities. There are few things I enjoy more than a good conversation and a good laugh with friends. I also like to use friends as an excuse to travel; I try to get away at least a few weekends a year to see people who live in other parts of the country.
I'm scuba certified and absolutely love to dive when I can find the time. I actually worked in a marine biology lab in college and very strongly considered becoming a marine biologist. Every dive brings a new experience and marine creatures fascinate me. There are few things that I find more relaxing than the rhythmic breathing and feeling of weightlessness during a dive. In the end it made more sense for me as a hobby than a profession, but I can't wait for the next chance to get back in the water!

Thinking of Trying the Raw Foods Lifestyle? Figure Skating Star Debbie Merrill Leads the Way in Revised Edition of Her New Book
by Robin Quinn
Note: This is the first of a series of blogs on New & Noteworthy books.
Merrillism: "Raw living food is extraordinarily ordinary."
~ Debbie Merrill
Vibrant and joyful … These are words that truly captured the energy of skating fitness expert Debbie Merrill, as I watched her mingle. The event was a recent book-signing/fundraiser at the 5th Street Whole Foods in Santa Monica. Years ago, I interviewed Debbie about her work in training celebrities to skate on screen (think Steve Martin gliding through MOCA in L.A. Story). Now I learned that Debbie was just releasing a revised edition of her August 2009 book on raw foods, The Raw Truth to the Fountain of Youth. I also discovered that she had hosted a TV show on the raw foods lifestyle for two years since we had last met, featuring guests in the forefront of raw living such as David Wolfe (The Sunfood Diet Success System), Gabriel Cousens, MD (Rainbow Green Live Food Cuisine), and Juliano (of Juliana's Raw Restaurant). Cousens wrote her Foreword, and the other two gave her endorsements. Other book blurbs come from Martin, Melanie Griffith, Patricia Bragg (apple cider vinegar proponent), and newswoman Jane Velez-Mitchell.
The petite, attractive blonde athlete has been "eating and living" the vegan way for 27 years, she told me, the last 17 years as 100% pure raw vegan. She described herself as a "person who transitioned to live foods and the fountain of youth one inch at a time." Her 450+ page book offers Debbie's knowledge and wisdom, along with the tools that work for her. In addition, as Cousens explains in the Foreword, we get Debbie's life story which she "so elegantly shares as a narrative for her teachings." Cousens also notes that Debbie encourages you to "live a full joyful, loving, healthy life with every bite," but you don't feel forced.
The book's sections are cleverly laid out like a meal, starting with "Section 1. Appetizers: Awakening" and ending with "Section 5: Final Course" (the nuts and bolts of her program, including 40 "rawkin' raw recipes" which Cousens calls "excellent"). Debbie has delivered 40 chapters, and here are some highlights:
Ch. 1, Create Your Own Treasure Map: Before embarking on an exploration of raw foods, Debbie asks you to become aware of what you want to get out of life. Her tools are a "Treasure Map" (similar to a vision board) and a "Treasure Box" (where you put your written goals). "What you can visualize, vocalize and physicalize, you can manifest in your life," she tells us.
Ch. 3, Peeling the Onion: Here Debbie quotes Mae West: "Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly." She offers the insight that success comes from mastering one part of your goal, and then moving on. The author promotes moving forward one small step at a time toward our goals for a healthy lifestyle, and insists that bad habits will then become easier and easier to shed.
Ch. 5, Move It or Lose It: Of course, a professional figure skater who has performed around the globe will share her wisdom about exercise. "Health should be a verb," Debbie writes. "… health is action." The reader is asked to sign a contract with themselves to commit to get moving.
Ch. 8, The Road to Raw: Here Debbie admits that she went to raw foods because years ago she saw that she was "falling apart" and "eating more crap than vegetables" as a vegetarian. She reveals the changes she made and the benefits she gained. "This is not about deprivation," she notes, "this is about moderation, rejuvenation, inspiration and innovation."
Ch. 12, Paralysis of Perfectionism: Debbie jokes that perfectionism seems in some ways to be part of her DNA. This has helped her as an athlete, but also hurt when she saw an error as a personal defect. She's learned along the way that sometimes it's better to do something imperfectly than to wait til you can do it flawlessly.
Ch. 16, The Carrot and the Rabbit: Chapter 16 highlights the reasons for giving up being a meat eater. The author urges the reader to become informed with such films as Eating, Diet for a New America, and Super Size Me, and/or to even visit a slaughterhouse. (That visit did it for her, she said.) To Debbie, the most compelling reason came down to one word, compassion (for the animals).
Ch. 36, The Essential Raw Kitchen: Debbie learned to love cooking from her mother, who was a fabulous Italian cook. Here the author provides tips on the practical side to preparing to "raw-mble" in your own kitchen. She recommends a Vita-Mix blender, a food processor, a dehydrator, a juicer/wheatgrass juicer, and more. And, of course, a ready supply of fresh veggies and fruit.
Ch. 38, The Raw Truth to the Fountain of Youth Food-for-Life Plan: Here you'll find Debbie's food plan. She writes that you can do it in its entirety, or slowly move toward 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% raw foods. You'll find lists of foods for fruit, veggies, protein, fats, and grains, along with recommended daily amounts. Her "Additional Suggestions" include this reminder: "What you don't eat is as important as what you do."
Ch. 39, Rawsome Recipes: During our interview, Debbie told me that she has included simple raw recipes, as well as those that more die-hard raw foodists would enjoy. Ones that caught my eye include "Debbie's Raw Pizza Pizzazz" (made with raw crackers, homemade tomato sauce, sundried tomatoes, black olives, nuts, plus), raw enchiladas, "Debbie's Sprouted Lentil Salad" (gets raves at holiday pot luck parties, she said proudly), mango smoothie, "Nano Banana on a Stick" (named after her dad, and includes banana, nuts, carob powder, and more), and raw cracker recipes. "Mother Earth is the best chef in the Universe," she notes.
"I've lived through every type of diet that there is," Debbie writes in her book. "I've gone from red meat to chicken to fish, from vegetarian to macrobiotics to lacto-ovo to vegan to raw vegan, and it is certainly not for me to say where you should end up … [but] if there is the slightest twinge in your soul that you are not where you want to be, then I invite you to take this wonderful journey with me."

Location, Location, Location Revisited
Hard to believe that nearly a year has gone by since I wrote about David Ulin's panel addressing location as part of your novel or memoir, and how the author's job is to get past the stereotypes to the place's real identity.
Since there is such richness in the panelists' insights, I thought I'd celebrate my anniversary with this Santa Monica Library event by running my coverage of it again in my blog. Because the talk was in Santa Monica, LA was central to the discussion.
To your writing! Enjoy!
Book Editor/Book Coach -- Los Angeles
Yesterday I headed out to attend a panel discussion on "Los Angeles as Literature" at Santa Monica's beautifully designed modern main library. I was particularly interested in this panel because I have always fallen in love with places. Also, when we write, our setting is so important for flavoring what we get down on the page. After soaking up some sun for a precious five-minute break in the library's courtyard, I wandered inside to meet a fellow writer at the MLK Jr. Auditorium entrance.
David L. Ulin, The Los Angeles Times Book Editor, served as the discussion's adept moderator. The authors were a fittingly diverse trio. Cecil Castellucci is a Young Adult writer and the author of Beige. Nina Revoyr is a Japanese-American novelist (The Age of Dreaming). Gary Phillips is the Black writer/creator of the Ivan Monk mystery series (Bangers).
The panelists addressed the author's job of breaking through the stereotypes of a place to find its real identity. Typical depictions of Los Angeles they identified included the world of Hollywood and an urban gangland. Nina Revoyr pointed out that beyond the stereotypes are so many untold stories. Gary Phillips shared that he was inspired to write about our city because the Los Angeles described in the many mysteries set here was not the place he knew.
Nina noted that one way stereotypes get established is that writers use "shorthand" to tell about a place. One of the favorite LA neighborhoods she has written about is Crenshaw, and this writer wanted to bring out its racial diversity as it is often thought of as a Black neighborhood.
The panelists also brought out another reason a place get inaccurately depicted; that is when outsiders take a quick take on a newsstory, and are influenced by the misinformed ideas of the place that they bring with them.
Cecil talked about how her home neighborhood of Silverlake influences her writing, with its spirit as a creative space. This line of thought was reflected in a comment by Gary that a writer must immerse him- or herself in a place and among its people to get an accurate picture. It is not enough to just read about it.
The speakers, including David Ulin, explored LA's real identity. They noted that since Los Angeles is constantly evolving (like many other places), we must make it a point to re-learn our city if we are to write accurately about it. One aspect that brings about change here is the steady influx of outsiders streaming in to LA. Nina pointed out that this is a young city, still finding its identity. David mentioned how LA finds itself always compared with New York and San Francisco (it seems these comparisons can make us defensive at times as Angelenos).
Perhaps our strength is an identity that was spoken of by Nina (which I believe is often true), that this is a place where things happen first … a trend-setting city.
I was left with the impression of a place that is like a mosaic. So many slices of life that themselves have smaller parts and stories within. I was reminded of my early days in Los Angeles when I traveled all over the city to write pieces for the Los Angeles Reader. This served as a good foundation, and enriched my understanding of LA. I wanted to make a point of continuing to move through many sections of LA, and not be isolated in one neighborhood.
A note of hope for our city that came out of the panel is that a more expansive mass transit system may make us less neighborhood-centric and more open to the many diverse places and people who make up our great city.
