COVID-19 forced many organizations to expedite their digital transformation. Restrictions and stay-at-home orders compressed roadmaps from years into weeks; And with less available capital and resources, businesses face increased pressure to do more with less. Service design firms that typically conduct larger engagements and leave behind high production value artifacts may no longer be relevant, or even accessible by remote team members, in the COVID-19 world. Instead, lean product studios who understand how to surface insights that drive business outcomes in shorter periods have an opportunity to make a real impact.
How has the landscape changed?
Before the pandemic struck, service design projects typically ran anywhere from three months to two years—depending on the product or service and customers. These longer and larger engagements relied on face-to-face interactions to gather insights, find alignment, and build the right solutions. At various stages of the project, artifacts such as storyboards, customer journey maps, customer experience maps, and service blueprints are produced. Together, these outputs represent the culmination of cross-functional collaboration resulting in a unified digital and or non-digital experience.
Presently, four significant shifts have occurred:
- The need for speed: If there is anything that the COVID-19 pandemic has identified, it's the need to rapidly change and test new ways of delivering customer experiences with little or no precedents to refer to.
- Increased reliance on technology: In-person gatherings continue to face restrictions, making online interactions and virtual workshops the primary communication and collaboration methods.
- Less available budget: Due to economic instability, many organizations are not looking for long term commitments. Instead, teams are leaning towards short-term or phased approaches to create digital experiences.
- Hyper focus on business outcomes: To achieve success in the shortest path possible, the focus is shifting from business processes to business outcomes. Artifacts are necessary to capture insights, but only as far as it facilitates road mapping towards measurable business objectives.
Lean service design
Lean Service Design delivered by agile product studios offers a solution to the seismic shifts caused by COVID-19.
1. Faster way of identifying and testing new models Understanding key pain points for a project and how they relate to the target audience and organizational goals, leveraging different frameworks, and creating hybrids of UX mapping techniques help identify gaps and friction points quicker. Co-Design workshops with internal and external audiences are efficient ways to create opportunities for alignment and synergy. They result in co-created and testable prototypes that get real-time feedback by the end of an eight-hour, two-day, or two-week session. In a time-pressured environment, these Lean Service Design methodologies are client-validated as high-value activities.
2. Increased reliance on technology "Lean" in a traditional sense, means smaller. It encourages shedding unnecessary layers of communication to focus on more efficient ways of working. While many people are still managing their Zoom fatigue, technology can streamline interactions to increase productivity. For example, collaborating on value proposition canvases in real-time workshops can reduce the number of back and forth emails altogether.
3. Less available budget With heightened economic uncertainty, companies are becoming increasingly mindful of their financial commitments. Lean Service Design takes a product-oriented approach to create experiences that are interactive, incremental, and empirical. Breaking down a roadmap into smaller phases enables teams to prioritize the most important tasks and achieve faster ROI using less budget.
4. Bridging the gap between research insights and business outcomes Design often deals with the qualitative elements of experiences but must communicate its impacts quantitatively. To realize results quicker and iterate faster, teams need to see the relationship between the work and the impact felt by customers. From the outset, Lean Service Design creates clear and measurable objectives that drive business results. This approach increases speed to market and surfaces areas of opportunity for subsequent phases by focusing on outcomes rather than producing design artifacts.
Change is good
Digital technology is at the centre of today's economy and will continue to increase in importance as we pave the way to a new normal. As companies prioritize digital transformation, Lean Service Design can help teams get their experiences to market faster or update existing offerings with smaller budgets and quicker turnaround times. COVID-19 has disrupted the service design industry. With the right product studio, businesses might see an ROI more impactful than ever before.

Let's get this out of the way right at the top: Donald Trump is not a racist.
At least, I don't think so. Unlike most liberals, I do not have a window into men's souls to see what's in their hearts.
But the fact that the Trump campaign has named William Johnson, a white nationalist leader, as a delegate for the upcoming Republican primary in California shows a frightening incompetence and ineptitude from his staff.
The apparent ineptitude of the Donald Trump campaign has resulted in the selection as one of the hate-spewing huckster's delegates in California a notorious white supremacist leader.
William Johnson, the leader of the American Freedom Party — a group that promotes white nationalism — was chosen as one of the presumptive GOP nominee's Golden State delegates, according to a list of Republican delegates for the party's upcoming primary obtained by Mother Jones magazine.
Johnson had reportedly applied directly to the Trump campaign to be a delegate and was apparently accepted earlier this week.
In a series of emails to the Daily News, however, the Trump campaign first flatly denied the report altogether, then later said Johnson's name was only included as the result of a "database error."
Initially, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told The New that the Mother Jones "report is totally false."
"He has not, nor will he be, selected as a delegate," Hicks said of Johnson.
But when the Daily News pointed out that Johnson was indeed listed on the California Secretary of State's website as a delegate, Hicks said he had been included because of a "database error," though she did not immediately clarify whether she was blaming an internal campaign error or the California Secretary of State's office.
"Yesterday the Trump campaign submitted its list of California delegates to be certified by the Secretary of State of California. A database error led to the inclusion of a potential delegate that had been rejected and removed from the campaign's list in February 2016," she responded.
But if that is true, Johnson has yet to get the memo.
He told Mother Jones that he had been notified of his selection by the Trump camp in a congratulatory email from Katie Lagomarsino, the candidate's California delegate coordinator.
"I just hope to show how I can be mainstream and have these views," he told the magazine. "I can be a white nationalist and be a strong supporter of Donald Trump and be a good example to everybody."
I suppose a "database error" was responsible for sending out the congratulatory email, too.
What is up with this guy? First, he didn't immediately condemn the David Duke endorsement. Then, he didn't blink an eye when several white supremacist groups pledged their support. Now, he chooses a racist as a delegate and then, after it becomes public, withdraws his name with a lie.
This kind of signaling is despicable. It's like The Donald is throwing a wink and a nod at the racists, letting them know that he welcomes their support, even if he has to say he doesn't.
That doesn't make him a racist. It makes him a very dangerous man.

Constructive Criticism: The Role of Student-Faculty Interactions on African American and Hispanic Students' Educational Gains
- Journal of College Student Development
- Johns Hopkins University Press
- Volume 49, Number 6, November/December 2008
- pp. 587-605
- 10.1353/csd.0.0040
- Article
- Additional Information
- Purchase/rental options available:
Using a longitudinal sample of 1,422 African American and Hispanic students, the purpose of the study was to examine the effects of faculty constructive criticism on students' GPA and educational satisfaction. The main premise suggested that student-faculty interactions, interpreted more broadly under the concept of constructive criticism would offer a more useful approach for understanding the complex nature of faculty feedback on students' educational outcomes. While the general premise was supported, it was concluded that constructive criticism within an educational environment of 'wise-schooling' could offer useful opportunities for faculty to enhance minority students' academic success and educational satisfaction.

Sit tight, Bearcats.
Cincinnati is going to wait it out. And the Bearcats are going to look strong doing so.
Cincinnati is going to wait its turn and let the chips fall as they may. They have a pair of opportunities against Tulsa to solidify their national reputation.
If Cincinnati is the undefeated champion of the "P6" American Athletic Conference, this will give them their best shot to earn a spot in the college football playoff.
Running around the country all willy-nilly looking for a mildly prestigious opponent to bolster your resume. This is not the road to respectability. It looks a bit Mickey Mouse. Not ready for primetime.
And that's exactly what Coastal Carolina and BYU are doing by playing a cobbed-together, last minute consolation game. It is beneath both programs and will do nothing to impress the voters.
It has the feel of a mean older brother offering his two little brothers a dollar to beat the bejeezus out of each other in the backyard when Mom goes to the store.
Only in this case, the two little brothers are fighting of their own accord to try to impress the older brother.
Cincinnati will stay above of the fray and act like a team that belongs among college football's elite.

Exploring the benefits of cannabis-flavored massage
Not too long ago, I had a three-day headache. I've never known where the line is between "headache" and "migraine," but it varied in intensity over those 72 hours from mild to relentless throbbing pressure squeezing the entire right side of my head. Despite the fact I've borne two children, play roller derby, and come from hearty Scandinavian stock, this headache had me in tears. Extra strength pain killers didn't touch it. The ache radiated from my neck and shoulders, courtesy of increasingly bad posture and hours spent in front of a computer and scrolling on a phone every day; a pain so ubiquitous there's actually a name for this malady: text neck.
Yoga is my usual go-to for unkinking my various kinks, but I felt like I needed the big guns in this instance — a good reset. Plus downward dog was basically cruel and unusual punishment with this level of headache. So I started looking for a massage appointment. As I checked the various local options, I noticed an intriguing addition available from a few practitioners: I could add CBD oil to my massage for a small fee, usually between $10 and $20 on top of the base massage cost.
The rumored benefits of topical CBD are probably not unfamiliar to most of us, but I wondered: Does it really do anything different from any other oil I've had rubbed into my tense muscles?
I reached out to my friends to ask if anyone had ever had a massage with CBD oil themselves. One friend had — she said she had to sign an additional waiver "with all kinds of information on it."
I'm pretty sure I've never had to sign any kind of waiver to have some lavender or citrus essential oil applied during a massage. So I dug deeper and found there are all kinds of regulations on the professional use of topical CBD. It's outright illegal for a massage therapist to incorporate it into treatment in any state where marijuana use is illegal. And here I thought the only kind of illegal massage was the kind Robert Craft enjoyed in Florida!
But why all the regulations? While most CBD topicals are hemp-derived and don't contain THC at all, there are some full-spectrum CBD products that do contain THC. It's not enough to raise blood levels for a high like what would be experienced through ingesting it; while the official word is that THC needs to be activated (in a way that's not possible through the skin) to provide any psychoactive effects, some people do report a "relaxation high." Even though that's probably just the mellowing power of the CBD talking, any connection to pot still scares the bejeezus out of fuddy-duddy lawmakers, so they aren't taking any chances with any derivative of the Devil's lettuce, at least in states where marijuana is still strictly medical or fully illegal.
But I live in Maine, and I'm the kind of weirdo who likes ASMR — for me, someone on YouTube whispering and crinkling bubble wrap in my ear is a one-way ticket to tingle town. I've had some intense visions via the power of my third eye while blissed out during Reiki/energy healing. So needless to say, I'm down for opening myself up to a deep and unusual meditative/relaxation experience via some bodywork with the addition of CBD.
I weighed the few options I had found where I could get some cannabinoids rubbed into my skin: A very traditional-seeming spa experience was one option, and a crystal-selling yoga studio that also offered tarot readings was the other. I picked the latter. For me, woo-woo always wins.
When I called Arcana in Portland to schedule my massage (you can book online too), I found out a little more about why it was so tough to find massage therapists that offered CBD oil or salve. Amy, the employee who booked my massage, told me that initially the acceptable terminology had gone back and forth between "hemp" and "CBD," but that some credit card processing companies began withholding funds if there was even a whiff of cannabis around the provided service, no matter what phrasing was used. That could explain why mention of any cannabis-derived product being available along with massage services was so hard to come by, even in Maine where it's totally legal. With the implementation of regulations around cannabis and its derivatives being a bit of a confusing gray area over the last couple years, some massage therapists have likely decided it's better to be safe than sorry, so they've avoided CBD altogether, at least professionally.
Curious about what I was getting into with a topical CBD application, I reached out to Valerie Fedorchak who, along with her partner, runs two weed-related businesses: Seacoast Delivery, a licensed medical marijuana delivery service, and Seacoast Topicals, a skincare brand that harnesses the healing power of hemp. Fedorchak, a Massachusetts transplant, made the permanent move to York eight-ish years ago, pretty close to the same time she started making skincare products. She just started adding CBD and THC to her products in the last year or so.
"I think CBD is universally beneficial for everybody," she said. While she's not a licensed medical professional, "just from other people I've worked with with topical products, my own personal experience, CBD is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect, which is just so beneficial for so many things."
She mentioned some prolonged and miserable jaw pain she'd been experiencing, and said her use of her own products "really made a big impact, combined with, you know, doctor prescribed care. I think they work in harmony. Then when you combine it with other things, like lavender — I use a lot of lavender, which is also known to have anti-inflammatory properties as well as aromatherapy … It's a no-brainer to me. The more positive benefits you can bring into your routine the better."
The Massage Experience
I was eager to experience those benefits myself when I rolled up for my massage at Arcana on an unseasonably cool and blustery Thursday. The shop itself was warm and inviting, with shelves holding bowls of crystals, books and tarot decks by local authors, and an array of CBD products, both topical and ingestible, among other mystical enticements.
Hayley Costell, equal parts friendly and thoroughly professional, has been a massage therapist since 2017 and a dancer for much longer; flamenco and belly dance are her chief styles these days. She greeted me and ushered me back to the high-ceilinged and tranquil treatment room, where she left me with a clipboard to fill out with such details as when I had my last massage, particular areas of pain, whether I liked gentle or firm pressure — all pretty standard for a massage appointment so far, and nothing like the crazy waiver my friend mentioned having to complete before her CBD oil massage.
Over the hypnotic sounds of some spare electronic chords playing quietly from the corner, Costell gave me some insight into the world of CBD massage, which the shop has offered for a handful of years now, seemingly on the cutting edge for the professional use of CBD in body services, at least in these parts.
Because of how few options I was able to find when I searched for a CBD massage, I wondered how high the CBD demand has been. Costell pumped some oil into her hands and kneaded her fingers into my far-too-taut traps; clearly she's an expert multitasker. "In my experience thus far," she said, "most of the people who are the most curious about trying CBD massage have already been using CBD in some form on their own. Not too many people who aren't familiar with CBD and the uses of it are just jumping into a CBD massage."
While there's still some resistance from those unfamiliar with the products and their benefits, with that hesitancy usually centered around CBD's connection to weed in general (not likely an impediment to anyone holding this magazine), the massage therapists at Arcana have been able to introduce some folks to the benefits. "If we have somebody coming in with something really acute," Costell said, "one of our first suggestions will be, 'Hey, do you wanna try a CBD (massage)?' We as practitioners are all really familiar with using CBD for ourselves, so we can advocate pretty well for the fact that it does work. And I think that also helps, especially with somebody who's not familiar with it, for their comfort level, to know that the person who's offering is comfortable enough to use it themselves."
As she turned my head to one side and rubbed her thumbs in deep, precise circles down my neck, she elaborated further: "Once you're in a certain level of discomfort, you're willing to try anything. And I would say that this is one of the lowest risk alternatives to say, going to a doctor's office and getting a painkiller. This is a very good first step for people to try."
I could understand that, with my headache from hell, which I realized was nothing but a dull little twinge now. I can only imagine the lengths to which I'd go for relief if I was dealing with that level of pain on a daily basis. Costell applied more oil to her hands as she turned my head to the other side and repeated those delicious neck circles, then pulled gently on my head, pressing her fingertips into the base of my skull. Warmth spread through my neck and shoulders, no doubt the beginnings of the CBD oil's effects — those muscles began to feel like pulled taffy, which may not sound relaxing, but believe me, it was.
There are even benefits for the practitioner, according to Costell. "Using CBD oil with clients, I find that my joints tend to feel pretty good," she said, "where under normal circumstances I would be quite sore." A ringing endorsement from someone who uses her hands and arms repetitively for hours a day.
As she continued to massage the oil into my arms, legs, and back, it was increasingly difficult to focus on conversation — I abandoned my fact-finding mission and drifted away on a toasty cloud of CBD relaxation that penetrated deep into my muscles. Talking only goes so far; sometimes you need to just feel something to understand it.
So you should, whether you stop by Arcana or simply request CBD oil from your usual practitioner, and whether you have some major muscle pain to vanquish or you just want an extra decadent boost of relaxation. As I walked out into the brisk afternoon, my loosened neck and shoulders still radiated warmth, and I checked my schedule for when I could get on Hayley's table again, with the addition of CBD oil, of course.

Ensign Shallow 6PE Gravity
Sewage treatment plant.
Below ground packaged waste water treatment.
Marsh Shallow Ensign sewage treatment plants are widely regarded as one of the most efficient, reliable and economical systems on the market.
The Ensign:Standard is a robust unit with no internal moving parts meaning simple installation and commissioning and minimal long-term maintenance and cleaning. Common sewage treatment plants on the market often exceed 2.3 m high. Shallow Ensign sewage treatment plants from 4-35PE are only 1.6 m in height, meaning installation is not only possible, but easier and safer too.
Tested and approved to BSEN12566-3/A1:2009 all Ensign units provide treatment well within national consent requirements. Published test results of 11.5:19.2:8.4mg/ltr (BOD:suspended solids:ammonia), with influent concentrations on test higher than those chosen by most competitor plants, effectively equates to 97% pollutant removal. Ranging in size from 4 to 50 PE in Ultra, Standard and Shallow versions of each, and with a wide range of ancillaries, almost all site, consent and budget requirements can be met by units from the range.
Features and benefits:
In addition to anaerobic digestion taking place in the primary settlement chamber the Ensign unit allows the clarified water to pass into a second 'aeration' chamber where it is treated to remove the dissolved constituents. Here aerobic bacteria, supported by diffused air and mobile media, ensures full treatment is achieved before the treated effluent and 'sloughed off' bacteria flows to a final settlement chamber. The final effluent is then discharged to the drainage field or watercourse via a Polylok filter.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
At least one person was killed and several people wounded early Sunday in a series of stabbings in a busy nightlife area of the English city of Birmingham, the police said. They said that it was too early to determine a motive, but that they believed the events were linked.
The West Midlands Police said officers had been called to reports of a stabbing in Birmingham's city center shortly after midnight Saturday. Two hours later, there were further reports of stabbings in the area, the police said.
The police said that at least one man had been killed and that two people, a man and a woman, had serious injuries. Five others were also wounded, though their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, the police said.
The police declared the situation a "major incident," a designation that describes any episode involving serious harm or a security risk to the public. A murder investigation has been opened.
"The events during the early hours of this morning are tragic, shocking and understandably frightening," Chief Superintendent Steve Graham, an officer responsible for policing in Birmingham, said in a statement on Sunday.
"Please be assured that we are doing absolutely everything we can to find whoever was responsible and try to understand what exactly happened," he added.
Dominic Raab, the British foreign secretary, said that anyone in the area should be "very vigilant."

At the age of 38, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo's soccer career is ending. The Manchester United player has therefore prepared for the future by acquiring a luxurious mansion in Quinta da Marinha, a rural suburb of the coastal town of Cascais in Portugal mansion in Quinta da Marinha, a rural neighbourhood in the coastal town of Cascais in Portugal.
It is a huge property with all the amenities that the star has bought to settle after retiring with his partner, model Georgina Rodriguez, and their children. Her style could be described as rural, very similar to the recently sold by Oprah Winfrey. Discover what this magnificent home has to offer!
The exterior of Cristiano Ronaldo's new mansion in Portugal
Simply seeing it from the outside, without the need to enter, is impressive. The property's entrance features an extraordinary mural designed by Louis Vuitton, one of the world's most prestigious and expensive fashion houses. In addition, the outdoor area also has a swimming pool great for swimming laps in the open air and a tennis court. The Portuguese soccer player has commented that he is very fond of racquet sports, especially ping pong.
The mansion is surrounded by lush vegetation, planted exclusively to ensure the privacy of its tenants. The home, along with all its outdoor areas, is expected to be ready by 2023, and that's because the Portuguese star has put a lot of effort into designing his dream home. It also has a special meaning for him, as he will be returning to reside in his native country after having spent a successful career abroad for almost 20 years.
Interior of the house
The house has 3,000 square meters: more than enough space for the footballer's family. His wife will be in charge of the interior decoration, and deciding on the final finishes will be precisely his wife, who will be advised at all times by a trusted friend: Paula Brito, a professional Portuguese decorator who has worked on the design of several of the houses that 'CR7' acquired. in the past.
The little that is known about the interior of the mansion is that it features a huge garage with a capacity for 20 cars, a complete gymnasium so that the player does not lose the form he has worked so hard to achieve and maintain, a large indoor pool for winter days and an intelligent heating system. In addition, the couple has indulged in such whimsical choices as high-quality Italian marble for the floor and gold faucets for the bathrooms. There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo will be able to enjoy a wonderful house in his homeland with the people he loves the most after hanging up his boots.

Neuroscience and the Dialectics of History
by Daniel Lord Smail
Análise Social vol. 47, no. 4: 894-909.
Historians, like all social scientists, must make assumptions about how the brain works. This essay suggests how some of the recent findings of the brain sciences might enhance our ability to understand or describe patterns or processes in the past. A key feature of the brain and nervous system is that they are open to developmental and epigenetic influences, meaning that cultural patterns can shape or influence brain structures, at least in the aggregate population. This essay sets out the theoretical basis for a neuroscientific approach to the past, and develops a case study based on the neurobiology of stress.

CASA Working Paper 44
1 February 2002
Optimising visibility analyses using topographic features on the terrain
The advantages of using the fundamental topographic features of a surface namely the peaks, pits, passes, ridges and channels as the observers (viewpoints) in visibility computation is presented.
Considerable time can be saved without any significant information loss by using the fundamental topographic features as observers in the terrain. This optimisation is achieved because of a reduced number of observer-target pair comparisons thus establishing the Reduced Observers Strategy. The method has been demonstrated for a gridded digital elevation model. Due to this selected sampling of observers in the terrain, there is an under-estimation of the viewshed of each point. Two simple methods for assessing this uncertainty have been proposed.

From: | Senator Judy Ward |
To: | All Senate members |
Subject: | Community-Based Health Care Act |
I plan to introduce legislation that was introduced last session by Representative Matthew Baker as House Bill 644 that would remove the cap on funds which can be obtained by federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). In May of 2013, the General Assembly approved the Community-Based Health Care Act which directed funds to support nonprofit health care centers in the Commonwealth. To qualify as a health care center for this act the facility must provide care to medically underserved areas with a patient population below 200% of the federal poverty level. Many of these facilities are FQHCs or FQHC lookalikes. At the time of the legislation, it was determined that there should be a cap (25%) on the amount which is distributed to FQHCs in order to provide more access to other health care centers existing in the Commonwealth or to encourage the development of such health care centers. Since the passage of Act 10 of 2013, FQHCs and other health care centers have utilized these dollars to serve some of the most vulnerable in the Commonwealth. This measure would remove the artificial 25% limitation on funds for FQHCs distributed in accordance with the Community-Based Health Care Act. Many times the only applicants for these dollars are FQHCs as they are the only health centers capable of providing the services. During the 2017-18 legislative session, HB 644 was approved by the House of Representatives. Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation. |

Study Shows Teaching A Teen To Drive Best Way To Improve Prayer Life
This week, an international panel of scholars released the findings of a study examining a causal link between an improved prayer life and teaching a teen to drive. The results are conclusive: parents who report a "poor-moderate" prayer life increase their prayer by over 329% after the first behind-the-wheel lesson.

Once again, a meme that I saw on the internet was my spark of inspiration.
Here's some pics on how I created this:
Brayer various pink, red, and orange paints.

Stamp, fussy cut and glue the faces onto flowers with matte medium.
I found the perfect horse image in a NatGeo magazine.

I drew the horn, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut.
Stamped, colored and fussy cut the lady image, then glued them down
using matte medium. I swiped a green ink pad
along the edges.
Smudged a black pencil around the unicorn and lady.
I used some gelli print leftovers to die cut the grass border a gazillion times,

Upcoming Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Biopic Will Reveal Truth Behind Fights
via Good Morning Britain / Youtube
The Film Is About Their "Volatile Relationship"
In a new interview Daily Mail TV, Ozzy Osbourne's longtime manager and wife Sharon revealed an upcoming biopic that will touch on the couple's tumultuous marriage. It will still tell their love story, but it won't gloss over the violence. Their relationship had its ups and downs, and a lot of it were known to the public. After so much delay, Sharon is hoping for it to begin filming this spring.
"We would beat the s**t out of each other," Sharon said. "Our fights were legendary. We would beat the s**t out of each other. It stopped, must be, 20 years ago, but we had a good run."
"It's a movie about Ozzy's and my life, how we came together in the early days and our volatile relationship," she continued. "All the fights, all the makeups, all the fights, all the arrests, all the everything. And it's a love story."
"People are going to watch it go, "This isn't allowed. They shouldn't behave that way and put it on film"," she added. "But [we're] only talking the truth. Some people have volatile relationships and ours was very volatile."
Sharon met Ozzy when she was only 18-years old. Her father, Don Arden, was Black Sabbath's manager. They got married in 1982. In the '80s, some of their fights were so bad that Ozzy was accused of attempted murder after reportedly trying to strangle Sharon.

I bought Justina Blakeney's book, The New Bohemians, the other day. I follow her on Pinterest. I get it that my art fits well in a Bohemian decor.
What I had not realized until halfway through the book was that my own decorating style earns the "bohemian interiors" label. Ergo, a series of posts sharing bits and pieces (mostly, as quickly as I can get everything tidied up for photography) of the home that inspires the art you see in this store.
Here, the Lily Mirror:
I found this mirror at a Habitat Restore. It was intended to be a bathroom vanity mirror, but by the time it came to me, the lamps had been lost and only the mirror was for sale. It had four holes in it for the lamp fixtures.
I love beveled glass, and I love etching, and the mirror was at most $5.00, and it came home with me.
A trip to the craft store gave me four round mirrors to glue over the holes, and then four beveled squares to glue over the round mirrors. A set of mirror hanging brackets from the hardware store, and bingo!
It hangs on the back of a room divider shelf unit. There's a glass showcase above (not shown) and the shape below, covered with fabric, is my TV.
Here's what these mirrors look like in Habitat (these ones aren't etched; the lilies were a rare find).

Polish schools in Lithuania have begun the protest.
Why am I here? My parents sent me to Polish school with hope that like my parents, their parents, my grandparents I will receive my education in Polish. And now not knowing why, authorities have decided that the school will be Lithuanian. I think that they want to fail us at the exams from Lithuanian language and to make it impossible for us to get to the university. This is not fair!' — said to "Kurier" Waldemar Mażul, a student from the school in Suderwa near the Vilnius Region, who came for the protest in front of the Presidential Palace with his colleagues.
On Friday on the appeal of the Polish Schools Parents' Forum in Lithuania and school's protesting committees around 5 thousand students of Polish schools, their parents and the representatives of Polish community gathered at the Simonas Daukantas square to protest against this discriminatory Act of Education.
Students from Russian schools not only from Vilnius but also from Kłajpedy and Wisagini joined to the protesting Poles. The rally gave rise to the protest of students of ethnic minorities' schools. As 'Kurier' found out, on Friday around 90% of students did not come to Polish schools in Lithuania. 10% of those who came to school, were the students from the beginning grades. As the administrations of the schools explain — ' Schools are not protesting. Students and their parents are'.
The protest embraced around 70 out of 100 schools in Lithuania, in which the language of instruction is Polish.
Dariusz Żybort has never thought that he will have to perform in the rally.
As Dariusz Żybort, a representative of the Polish Schools Parents' Forum in Lithuania, said to 'Kurier' — 'It is hard to say how long the strike will take. The final decision in this case will be made by the protesting committees. But what will be the decision like, it depends on the decision of Lithuanian authorities. Whether they will try a dialogue with us or not'.
A chairman of the Elective Action of Poles in Lithuania, a member to the European Parliament Waldemar Tomaszewski turned to the people who were gathered in front of the Presidential Palace and said that he came here not as a politician, but as a parent.
'The decision of accepting this act was a political decision of Lithuanian authorities and we are also going to fight for our rights armed with political methods. If the authorities do not want to hear us, then next time here there will be not five but ten thousand of protesting people' — announced Waldemar Tomaszewski.
Thanks to the actions of Lithuanian authorities, the matters concerning Polish Education became a political matter and involved lots of people who have been staying away from politics until now.
'Never ever in my life have I thought that I will be in a rally, I am not a politician, I do not belong to any political party, but the situation is so serious that as a parent I cannot standing and waiting doing nothing' — said from the platform Dariusz Żybort, a dentist.
As students from Polish schools, who were the majority of the rally — 'We just felt like a people from the second category. Lithuanian authorities accept this act, at the same time favouring the students from Lithuanian schools'.
Renata Pačienskaitė is a student of the 11th grade of the Polish Secondary School under the name of Szymon Konarski in Vilnius. She came here with her friends to — as she says — 'protect independence'. The 11th grade students are those who found themselves in the first fire line. In two years from now they will be sitting the unified with Lithuanian schools exam from Lithuanian language. For 10 years they have been learning Lithuanian language according to the programmes and course books prepared for Polish schools which were different from Lithuanian programmes. 'This is all very simple. During the enrolment to the university, the points from the Matura exam are taken into consideration. And now to catch up with the differences from Lithuanian schools we will have to sacrifice a lot of time to Lithuanian language, neglecting at the same time other subjects. It is not hard to imagine how it will influence our results of the exams.' — says the 11th grade student.
To the argument of the Minister of Education that the reform is conducted for the sake of the students to make it easier for them to master Lithuanian language, which will make an easy start in the adult life, she answers: 'Those, who are doing this, do not know what the realities are. We know Lithuanian language enough. I am also a student of the music school, where everything is instructed in Lithuanian language. My friends there are also Lithuanians and I have no problems at learning, at the presence in the classes, but it is not the same as sitting an exam, for which there are 12 years of preparation and not 2' — says Renata Pačienskaitė.
In front of the protesting people there also performer the leaders of Polish community in Lithuania — the director of the Polish Committee in Lithuania Michał Mackiewicz, members for Lithuanian Parliament from AWPL Jarosław Narkiewicz and Leonard Talmont, the vice-minister of the Vilnius Region Jan Mincewicz. There were also the representatives of other national minorities — Belarusian and Russian.
In the resolution accepted during the rally, the protesting people demanded from Lithuanian authorities: resigning from the unified exam from Lithuanian language, bringing the Polish exam back on the list of compulsory exams on the Matura exam, resigning from the discriminatory parity of preserving Lithuanian school at the expense of Polish one.
The rally took place without any incidents. However, nearby the Presidential Palace there was a group with the insulting posters. 'You who live here, find Lithuanian in yourself' 1920 — Żeligowski, 2011 — Tomaszewski?". However, the protesting Poles did not let themselves to be provoked.

The Miwok people are members of four linguistically related Native American groups indigenous to Northern California. Also spelled Miwuk, Mi-Wuk, or Me-Wuk, they traditionally spoke one of the Miwok languages in the Utian family. The name Miwok comes from the Northern Sierra Miwok word miw·yk meaning "people."
Anthropologists commonly divide the Miwok into four geographically and culturally diverse ethnic subgroups.
The Plains and Sierra Miwok lived in the western slope and foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Sacramento Valley, the San Joaquin Valley, and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The Coast Miwok lived in Marin County and southern Sonoma County. This group included the Bodega Bay Miwok and Marin Miwok.
The Lake Miwok lived in the Clear Lake basin of Lake County.
The Bay Miwok lived in Contra Costa County.
The Miwok lived mostly along the foothills of the Sierras and up into the mountains below the line of heavy winter snows. Northern branches of the group, known as the Plains Miwok and the Bay Miwok, lived along the Sacramento River and its delta. The Miwok lived in small groups of villages of 100 to 500 people. There was no centralized political authority before contact with European Americans in 1769. The Sierra branches that lived in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada constituted the greatest number of Miwok individuals and had more than 100 villages at the time of European contact.
Each group was led by a headman, who inherited the position from his father. The wealthy headman settled arguments and directed the hunting and food gathering. Assisting him were speakers and messengers, including a speaker who was a sort of sub-chief.
In mountain areas, the Miwok homes were made of bark slab layers leaning against each other in a cone shape. In the lower foothills and on the plains, houses were made around a frame of poles covered with bundles of grass or tule reeds or with mats woven from tule reeds. In the center of the house were a fireplace and an earth oven. Pine needles covered the floor, and tule reed mats and animal skins were used for sitting and sleeping.
The largest building in each community was the assembly house, used for dances and other gatherings. A hole three to four feet deep was dug in the ground to erect this building. The roof beams were held up by center posts and by the hole's edge, creating a room 40 to 50 feet across. The roof beams were connected by smaller branches and then covered with brush, pine needles, and earth layers. There was a smoke hole in the center of the roof and a door on one side. The village sweathouse was made like the assembly house but much smaller.
The Miwok cultivated tobacco but were otherwise hunter-gatherers. The Sierra Miwok harvested acorns from the California Black Oak. The modern-day extent of the California Black Oak forests in some areas of Yosemite National Park is partially due to cultivation by Miwok tribes. They burned understory vegetation to reduce the fraction of Ponderosa Pine. Nearly every other kind of edible vegetable matter was used as a food source, including bulbs, seeds, and fungi.
Animals were hunted with arrows, clubs, or snares, depending on the species and the situation. The Sierra Miwok depended on deer as their main source of meat. For the Plains Miwok, elk and antelope were easier to get. Each group traveled to the other's area for hunting. Black and grizzly bears were hunted in the Sierras, though the Plains Miwok did not eat bears, foxes, or wildcats. Smaller animals like rabbits, beavers, squirrels, and woodrats were used as food. The Plains Miwok took salmon and sturgeon from the Sacramento delta waters. The Sierra Miwok caught trout in mountain streams. Grasshoppers were a highly prized food source, as were mussels for those groups adjacent to the Stanislaus River. The Coastal Miwok were known to have predominantly relied on food gathered from the inland side of the Marin Peninsula but also engaged in diving for abalone in the Pacific Ocean. They stored food for later consumption, primarily in flat-bottomed baskets.
Bows and arrows were used in hunting and in warfare. The Sierra Miwok used cedar wood to make the bows, which were backed with layers of sinew. Antlers were used to chip and shape the arrowheads. Also used in warfare were spears with obsidian tips. No shields or body armor were used.
The Sierra and Plains Miwok used twining and coiling methods for making baskets. Young willow branches were used as the foundation for both types of baskets. Redbud fibers were wrapped around the willow coils in the coiled baskets.
Tule reeds were woven together to make mats used on the floors of houses. The Plains Miwok used bundles of tules tied together around a frame made of willow poles to make canoes. Wooden paddles were used to propel the canoes. In the mountains, rafts made from two logs tied together with vines were used for crossing streams. String and cord were used to make nets for catching fish, birds, and small animals.
Northern Sierra Miwok women wore a deerskin wrap-around dress. The Central Miwok and Plains Miwok women wore a two-piece apron-type skirt made of deerskin, grasses, or shredded tule reeds. Miwok men wore a piece of deerskin around their hips. Men and women used blankets or robes made from animal skins for warmth in cold weather. Deer, bear, mountain lion, coyote, and rabbit skins were used to make robes.
Young children had their ears and noses pierced and wore flowers as ear and nose ornaments. Adults wore beads, shells, bones, and feathers as ear and nose ornaments. Both men and women had tattoos, usually with three lines running from the chin down the body. Hair nets were worn only by the village leaders, except at special ceremonies.
In trade, clamshell disks were used as money, though they were considered less valuable among the Miwok than among their neighbors to the north. Pieces of clamshell were shaped into small circles, holes bored in them, and strung on strings. Miwok men and women wore strings of clamshells as necklaces to show their wealth. Olivella shells and stone cylinders were also strung on strings and used in trade. The Sierra Miwok got salt and obsidian from groups on the east side of the Sierras and shells from those living on the sea coast. Baskets, bows, and arrows were traded between groups.
Some Miwok ceremonies were connected with religious practices. For these, special robes and feather headdresses were used. Other dances were held for fun and entertainment. Some Miwok dances included clowns called Wo'ochi, who were painted white and represented coyotes. The Miwok also had a grizzly bear ceremony, where the dancer pretended to be a bear, with pieces of obsidian attached to his fingers as claws.
The Miwok creation story and narratives are similar to those of other natives of Northern California. Miwok had totem animals identified with land and water. Personal names were often related to which group the person belonged. Geese, frogs, salmon, clouds, ice, deer, antelope, coyote, rock, and sand were related to water. The land side included bears, foxes, lizards, bluejays, fire, and drums. These totems controlled kinship and politics, regulating descent, marriage, and relations with other tribes. These totem animals were not thought of as literal ancestors of humans but rather as predecessors.
The Miwok historically used seven Miwokan languages that were part of the Penutian Family. This group of endangered languages was spoken in central California, ranging from the Bay Area to the Sierra Nevada. There are a few dozen speakers of the three Sierra Miwok languages, and in 1994 there were two speakers of Lake Miwok. The best-attested language is Southern Sierra Miwok, from which the name Yosemite originates.
In 1770, there were an estimated 500 Lake Miwok, 1,500 Coast Miwok, and 9,000 Plains and Sierra Miwok, totaling about 11,000 people. This is probably a low estimate because the estimate did not include the Bay Miwok.
The 1910 Census reported only 671 Miwok total, and the 1930 Census, 491. Today there are about 3,500 Miwok.
Miwok descendants numbered more than 5,700 in the early 21st century.
Federally recognized tribes include:
Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians
California Valley Miwok Tribe, formerly known as the Sheep Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians
Chicken Ranch Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians
Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, formerly known as the Federated Coast Miwok

After a decade of climate advocacy work, climate change research organisation the Climate Institute has announced it will be closing in late June.
The non-profit's survival has until now been dependent on donations, and it has cited a lack of funding as the reason for its closure.
Best known for its Climate of the Nation reports, the organisation also helped, among other things, expand the renewable energy target in 2008.
Chief executive John Connor said he hopes others will pick up where the Climate Institute left off.
"Doing some of that work, and building the partnerships to cross the divide and dealing with business, energy and other groups is a bit thinner so I am concerned that work needs to continue," he said.
"The last thing we want is for this to get stuck in the trenches, and that is a gap I think we will be leaving but hopefully can be filled."
At the time it was founded in 2005, the Climate Institute was the only non-government organisation focused solely on climate change.
The director of ANU's Climate Change Institute, Mark Howden, said the future of Australian climate research needs a better funding model to stay alive.
"In Australia we tend to have a bit of a problem in terms of finding the continuity of funding that countries [in] Europe … and in America tend to get," Professor Howden said.
"I think part of the issue here is we need to develop those diverse funding sources so that we don't have the falling off the cliff problem we're seeing with the Climate Institute."
Better funding model needed: researchers
Since late 2015, the Climate Institute has flagged it was in financial trouble, but Mr Connor said the organisation's message has always been lost on politicians.
"We have had these toxic politics over the last decade, but I just think it's frankly unsustainable," Mr Connor said.
"We do have businesses and investors and companies now crying out for integration of climate and energy policy because it's actually costing us more.
"Frankly the fights we've had over the last decade mean that might be the only solution, because the coal plant takes 10 years to build, and significant sized solar power with batteries can take less than one year."
Others in the conservation movement, including Climate Council chief executive officer Amanda McKenzie, said they were saddened by the Climate Institute's announcement.
"They've done enormous efforts around engaging the private sector, climate change diplomacy and research in a whole range of important areas, so it will definitely be a loss to see them go," she said.
Formerly known as the Climate Commission, it was abolished in 2013 by the Abbott government, and has since reformed with the help of public donations.
"It's critical to have non-government climate work," Ms McKenzie said.
"Twenty thousand people put their hand in their pocket and said 'We'll give you $20 a week or we'll help you out to make sure there is independent research'."
