The SF Gate tells the story of 11-year-old Olivia Bouler who contacted the Audubon Society and offered to draw a picture for everybody who made a donation to the Society’s relief efforts:
Olivia has gotten so much interest — including more than $100,000 in donations and over 20,000 fans on a Facebook page — that she’s had to limit her drawings to 500.

By making people struggle through the why, we can develop problem solvers that really understand the how too.
Delight the audience you already have, amaze the customers you can already reach, dazzle the small investors who already trust you enough to listen to you. Take the permission you have and work your way up.

What is your lineage?
The lineage that I’m trying to follow starts with Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, goes to Hal Ashby, and then goes to James L. Brooks, Cameron Crowe, Alexander Payne, and I want to be in that line. That’s the dream.
- Jason Reitman in an interview on The Kevin Pollak Chat Show.
What is the lineage of your creative pursuit? Have you considered it? Do you know? If you haven’t defined it, why not? Is it because you don’t know or because it is not clear.
Knowing your lineage, can be a guide to your journey.
Planning for summer
Because of the wide variation in response to jellyfish stings, it is wisest not to contact jellyfish with bare skin. Even beached and dying jellyfish can still sting, when touched.
But:
Rescuers should wear barrier clothing, such as panty hose, wet suits or full-body sting-proof suits. Salt water may also be used if vinegar is unavailable.
Do not use fresh water if the sting occurred in salt water, because a change in tonicity can release additional venom. Avoid rubbing the wound, or using alcohol, spirits, ammonia, or urine which also encourage the release of venom.
