Information for X00143
Are alternative livelihood projects effective at reducing local threats to specified elements of biodiversity and/or improving or maintaining the conservation status of those elements?
Dilys Roe, Francesca Booker, Mike Day, Wen Zhou, Sophie Allebone-Webb, Nicholas A. O. Hill, Noelle Kumpel, Gillian Petrokofsky, Kent Redford, Diane Russell, Gill Shepherd, Juliet Wright, Terry C. H. Sunderland
Journal article
Alternative livelihood projects are used by a variety of organisations as a tool for achieving biodiversity conservation. But very little is known about what impacts alternative livelihood projects have had on biodiversity conservation, as well as what determines the relative success or failure of these interventions. Twenty one studies were included in this systematic review. Our results show that there has been an extensive investment in alternative livelihood projects, yet the structure and results of most of these projects have not been documented in a way that they can be captured using standardised search processes. Either this is because there has been little reporting on the outcomes of these projects, or that post-project monitoring is largely absent. The implications of this review for policy, management and future research are provided in relation to this evidence gap.

2006 – 2007 Lexus SC430 Review and Picture
2006 – 2007 Lexus SC430 Convertible
This is one hot car. I have always been a Lexus guy, but this Lexus makes me proud to be a Lexus guy! Hahah. Ok, you have to shell out about $65,000 MSRP for this model but it sure looks like it would be money well spent. I have not driven one yet, I saw this one at the 2006 Houston Auto Show and I can't wait to take one on a long test drive through the country where I can really open her up.
Here are some specs
1. Large 4.3 Liter 288 horsepower V8 engine
2. 6 speed electronic shift transmission for quicker acceleration
3. Climate control and audio control automatically adjusts as you have the top up or down
4. Aluminum alloy hard top, says will fold into trunk and still have room for a full size golf bag
5. Boasts a new computer control system that manages throttle operation and links the transmission and engine together to give the driver a more responsive ride and performance.
6. Electronic alloy roof retracts into the trunk in less than 25 seconds
The interior is gorgeous, the wood grain sports steering wheel feels wonderful in your hands…and the instrument panel is well laid out so you can reach the item you want without taking your eyes off the road.
The paint is VERY deep, you feel like you can put your hand through it. Typical to Lexus the overall feel you have when you sit inside is luxury AND sport performance. I would expect the ride to be smooth, quiet and very responsive.
If you own one of these, we would love to hear what you have to say about it…and see your pictures too. Email me.

Broad Spectrum CBD Oil: Fully array of hemp cannabinoids with non-detectable THC.
Organic Hemp Oil: Rich in omega 3s, antioxidants, and minerals, hemp oil is as nutritious as it is delicious. Hemp oil is also high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can lower cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease, dementia, and Type 2 diabetes.
Grape Seed Oil: This heart-healthy fat is an excellent source of the antioxidant vitamin E, and it has also been implicated in lowering cholesterol levels and inflammation.
Fractionated MCT Oil: This vegan, coconut-derived oil can reduce appetite and may also lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The calories in MCT oil are also less likely to be stored as fat because MCT oil goes directly to the liver, where it's converted into energy.

With the temperature shooting up, now is the perfect time to see the 1981 thriller Body Heat, which takes place in a small town in southern Florida in the middle of a sourcing hot Summer. In fact, the heat is almost like a character itself. J.A. Preston plays detective Oscar Grace, who notes that the heat makes people do crazy things. He says "it makes them feel like the old rules don't apply."
William Hurt plays Ned Racine, a not very talented lawyer with a sleazy clientele. Ned is too lazy to do well in his profession. His main goal in life is to try to sleep with every good looking woman he meets. Due to his own natural charm and good looks, Ned does very well with that goal.
Ned's total life is changed by Matty Walker (played by Kathleen Turner). She is the sexy wife of a rich older man who is away on business most of the time. Ned and Matty begin a passionate affair with very erotic love scenes in the sweltering Florida nights.
The two lovers decide that a quick fling is not enough. They want it all. They want a life together, and all the money as well. Since Matty had signed a prenuptial agreement there is only one way to get what they want – murder her husband.
We will not give away any more of the plot other than to say that it is very complex with a totally unexpected ending. It is a terrific movie with great performances.
Mickey Rourke plays a career arsonist who tries to talk Ned out of his criminal plans. He warns Ned that, "in any crime you've got 50 ways to fuck up. If you can think of 25 of them you're a genius. And you ain't no genius."
Ted Danson is the county prosecutor who keeps Ned as a friend, mainly because Ned's life is so much more interesting than his own. Of course, having a prosecutor as a friend is tempting fate if you happen to be planning a murder.
This is an erotic, well written and exciting movie which is fun to watch on a hot summer night.
We give this movie Four Stars ****

Personal Injury - Emotional Distress Claims & Insurance Coverage
|Posted on February 2, 2014 at 12:00 AM
Under Portee v. Jaffee, 84 N.J. 88 (1980), New Jersey law permits a person to file an independent claim for emotional distress resulting from the shock of watching a family member at the scene of an accident suffer or die, or from seeing efforts to revive her/him being unsuccessful. If the incident from which the emotional distress claim arose is due to a car accident, the "per injury" liability limits of the at-fault driver's auto insurance policy will apply to provide coverage for the emotional distress claim independently from the physically injured person's claim. Wolfe v. State Farm Insurance Company, 224 N.J. Super. 348 (App. Div. 1988 ). Since the emotional distress claim is independent of the family member's claim for damages, each claim will have separate "per injury" liability limits rather than share under the same "per injury" limits. Id. In effect, a person need not fear that their injured family member will recover less from the at-fault driver's insurance coverage should he/she wish to press the emotional distress claim.

UMMS develops new insight into silencing transposons
Study identifies mechanism that allows genome immune system to recognize genetic pathogens
William E. Theurkauf, PhD, professor of molecular medicine, and Zhiping Weng, PhD, director of the Program in Bioinformatics and Integrative Biology, have uncovered a mechanism that may explain how destabilizing genetic elements related to viruses, called transposons, are turned off while other parts of the genome are allowed to function normally.
Most of the genes needed for normal cell function and development are interrupted by introns, and these interruptions have to be removed from the RNA copy of the gene by a process called splicing, before a normal protein can be produced. A study published in Cell by the Theurkauf and Weng labs details the discovery of a complex of proteins that blocks splicing of RNAs, leading to the production of Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) which silence parasitic transposons.
"Until now, it's been unclear how the cell selects some RNAs for production of piRNAs, while others make proteins," said Dr. Theurkauf, professor of molecular medicine at UMass Medical School. "This study suggests that differences in splicing efficiency differentiate a gene that needs to be expressed from a transposon that needs to be silenced."
Transposons, also called "jumping genes" because of their ability to move around the genome, pose a significant threat to the genetic integrity and stability of an organism. Considered the equivalent of genetic pathogens, these small, mobile sequences of DNA are related to RNA viruses and can insert themselves into new locations in the genome, leading to mutations and disease. The piRNA pathway, which is related to RNA interference, functions as an adaptive defense system responsible for identifying and silencing these genome pathogens. How piRNAs turned off transposons while allowing protein-coding gene expression, however, was a mystery.
"Transposons have to move to survive," said Theurkauf. "If they move, you end up with mutations that can be passed down to the next generation. If they jump into a tumor suppressing gene, for example, that can result in cancer. piRNAs are necessary to keep transposons off so that a parent's intact genome can be transmitted to the next generation. The trick is that they have to disable the pathogen without turning off the host genes."
Protein-coding regions of genes in complex animals are generally interrupted by short, non-coding sequences called introns. These introns are removed during a process called splicing. The same process reassembles the remaining pieces into a mature messengerRNA that is used to produce a functional protein or other needed cellular material.
Theurkauf and Weng have discovered a complex of proteins that specifically block splicing of piRNA precursors. The unspliced, intron containing, transcripts are then made into piRNAs that silence corresponding sequences in the genome, including transposons.
"These unspliced transcripts are not normal. So the cell makes a piRNA that can silence them," said Weng. "By blocking the RNA splicing mechanisms, these protein complexes allow the genome to recognize its own genes from potential genetic pathogens that need to be silenced."
The next step for Theurkauf and colleagues is to determine if this system, observed in Drosophila, is conserved in other animals.
"Transposons are essentially left over viruses that have been inserted into the genome," said Theurkauf. "If we can figure out how the piRNA system works to silence transposons, it's possible we could turn on the same system in a cell infected with a pathogenic virus, as an anti-viral therapy."

State of emergency extended in Norman Wells, N.W.T.
Heat restored, but mayor won't lift emergency till 2nd backup generator running
A state of emergency continues today in Norman Wells, N.W.T., as one of the town's two backup generators is still not operating following a natural gas service failure.
The town declared the emergency Monday after a power outage cut off the natural gas to the community for about 12 hours, as temperatures hovered around -40 C.
Mayor Gregor Harold McGregor said the emergency status will remain as a precaution for another day, even though natural gas has now been restored to all homes.
McGregor added that the town's emergency response team is ready, should the town lose its natural gas service again.
The mayor praised the emergency team for its quick response Monday when homes started losing heat. He said there were some problems with pipes freezing, but most were fixed by Monday night.
By noon Monday, homes had started to get cold. Residents scrambled to buy fuel for generators to heat their homes, and many homeowners prepared to drain water lines to prevent pipes from freezing.
Sarah Baker flew her elderly mother to Inuvik, N.W.T., to ensure she stayed comfortable.
"I thought if I had heaters going and blankets, I would be warm enough if you heat the one room. But we were also prepared to head toward Tulita on the winter road. Either or," she said.
McGregor said the town was prepared for a worst-case scenario: they were close to chartering planes to get people out of town.
McGregor said if the town had not received a positive response in an update from natural gas provider Imperial Oil, "we were going to start moving people."
Luckily, Imperial Oil restored service to the town by mid-afternoon. The company flew extra crew members up from Calgary. However, they were only able to get one of two backup generators up and running.
McGregor said he is reluctant to lift the state of emergency until both generators are operational.
Imperial Oil spokesman Pius Rolheiser said production has resumed at the plant in Norman Wells and the priority is restoring natural gas service to the town.
He said oil production isn't at full capacity because crews are still ensuring everything works properly following a controlled shutdown after the power outage Monday.
"There's a lot of equipment that basically needs to be re-started, warmed, so it'll probably be a period of several days until the field and plant is back to what we consider normal operation," he said.
Rolheiser said it's too early to know what caused the problems early Monday morning but the company is investigating.

Sunderland 1-1 Middlesbrough – FA Cup – 29th January 2012
Frazier Campbell made a goalscoring return from injury at the Stadium of Light on Sunday, netting the Black Cats' equaliser after 18 months out of action. The former Manchester United man was a half-time substitute, as Martin O'Neill attempted to improve upon what had been a rather lacklustre first period by his charges.
Barry Robson was 'Boro's stand-out performer in this north-east derby, and it was the Scottish international who opened the scoring on just 16 minutes, unleashing a superb left-foot volley after Sunderland failed to adequately clear a corner. However, the home side were controversially denied an equaliser just before the break, when Craig Gardner was wrongly adjudged to have been in an offside position before he fired home. However, to be fair, he had handled the ball when controlling it in the first place.
With almost an hour played, goalscorer Robson did the old her0-to-zero metamorphosis, misplacing a pass when under pressure which left the superb James McClean in the clear to drive forward before deftly setting up Campbell, who directed the ball past Danny Coyne in the 'Boro goal.
McClean then came close to winning the game late one, only to fire wide when presented with a decent opportunity to score.
So while Martin O'Neill's unbeaten home record remains in tact, Tony Mowbray and co. will be confident of going one better against the Black Cats at the Riverside in the replay.
Highlights to follow…

This butternut squash pasta is an easy, seasonal meal that comes together in just 30 minutes! It's bursting with fall flavors including sweet butternut squash and earthy sage leaves. Parmesan cheese adds a nutty saltiness, while onions and garlic bring savory goodness. You'll be making this butternut squash pasta recipe all winter long!
I love using seasonal ingredients, and nothing beats winter squash this time of year. Now that we're officially into the chilly weather months, I'm enjoying heartier recipes like stews, soups and pasta. This recipe is a great way to highlight fall flavors. It reminds me a bit of my baked butternut squash mac and cheese, but it's less time consuming and heavy.
Recipe Ingredients
- Pasta of your choice (I used rotini)
- Butternut squash
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Yellow onion
- Garlic
- Sage leaves
- Half-and-half (or 50% whole milk + 50% heavy cream)
- Parmesan cheese
- Nutmeg
How to Make Homemade Butternut Squash Pasta
This recipe is very easy to prepare. Here's what you do:
- While the pasta is cooking, steam or boil the butternut squash (you can also roast and puree it in advance). The squash and pasta take a similar amount of time to cook, but the squash may need a few minutes longer.
- Once those are both done cooking, use one of the same pots (less dishes) to cook some onions, garlic and sage in olive oil.
- Puree everything together in a blender along with parmesan cheese, half-and-half, and a few spices. The whole thing is ready to serve in 30 minutes.
If you want to save time, you can purchase pre-peeled and chopped butternut squash. It's pricier, but sometimes it's worth paying a bit extra if you're tired at the end of a long day and just want to get dinner on the table. Keep in mind that the pre-diced squash usually comes in larger pieces, so I recommend cutting it into 1/2-inch cubes so it cooks in the amount of time I've listed in the recipe instructions.
If you've never cubed a whole butternut squash before, check out my tutorial: roasted butternut squash, which includes step-by-step photos..
How long will The sauce keep?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.
How To Freeze
Leftover sauce will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. However, you definitely want to store the sauce on its own without the pasta. Cooked pasta can become mushy when thawed and reheated. Before freezing, cool the butternut squash sauce to room temperature, then transfer it to and airtight container or freezer bag.
Can I Substitute Pumpkin or Acorn Squash?
You absolutely can, just swap them out for the same quantity.
Yes, all winter squash seeds are edible, including butternut squash, pumpkin, and acorn squash. They can be used for a nice optional garnish on the pasta, as well as on soups and salads.
Dry the seeds thoroughly, then toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any spices you like. Roast for about 10 to 12 minutes at 325 degrees F, stirring halfway through.
What Is Half-And-Half?
This recipe calls for half-and-half. What is half-and-half, and how do you make it if you already have cream and milk in the fridge? Read my tutorial on how to make half-and-half so you can save time and money!

Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta (I used rotini)
- 4 cups butternut squash, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 medium squash)
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 2 cups chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
- 2 large or 3 small cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 2 teaspoons fresh sage leaves, chopped (plus more for optional garnish)
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (see notes)
- 1/2 cup half-and-half (or 50% whole milk + 50% heavy cream)
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- In a large pot of generously salted water, cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water. Rinse pasta with a bit of cold water or toss with a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking while preparing the other ingredients.
- Meanwhile, steam the butternut squash until fork tender, around 10 -15 minutes. (Note: larger pieces will take longer to cook). Alternately, you can cook the squash in boiling water for approximately the same amount of time if you don't have a steamer. After boiling, drain through a colander, shaking to remove excess water.
- In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottom saucepan set over medium-low heat (you can use the same pot used for the pasta), add 2 teaspoons olive oil and a pinch of salt. Once the oil is heated, add the onions. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the onions are translucent or just starting to brown. If necessary, add a tablespoon of water to the pot periodically to detach any brown bits that form, stirring them back into the onions. Add the garlic and sage and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Microwave the half-and-half for around 45-60 seconds until warm. If you prefer, you can add the half-and-half directly to the pot with the onions and stir over low heat until warmed through, but be careful to make sure the liquid doesn't bubble and reduce.
- Puree the butternut squash, onion mixture, parmesan cheese, half-and-half, salt, pepper and nutmeg in blender. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Toss sauce with the pasta. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, you can add some of the reserved pasta water.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnishing each bowl with a small amount of chopped sage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.

The injection of CO2 to hypersaline geothermal brine: A case study for Tuzla region
MetadataShow full item record
Scaling is a serious issue for geothermal power plants since it remarkably decreases the harvesting of energy. The reduction of pH by organic acids whose structure is close to CO2 for instance formic acid has been an effective solution for the minimization of scaling. Herein, the effect of CO2 injection on the formation of scaling particularly metal-silicates was investigated for the model case of Tuzla Geothermal Field (TGF) located in the northwest of Turkey. CO2 has an acidic character in aqueous systems because it leads to the formation of carbonic acid. The injection of 20.6 m3/s CO2 (approximately 88 ppm) to hypersaline brine of TGF is a promising green approach for both mitigation of scaling by reducing pH from 7.2 to 6.2 at the well-head and the minimization of potential corrosion compared to the use of formic acid (55 ppm).

ADF: Overview
What is the Asian Development Fund?
The Asian Development Fund (ADF) provides grants to ADB's lower-income developing member countries (DMCs). Established in 1974, the ADF initially provided loans on concessional terms. Grants were introduced in 2005, and beginning 2017, with ADB's concessional lending financed from its ordinary capital resources (OCR), the ADF has become a grant-only operation. Activities supported by the ADF promote poverty reduction and improvements in the quality of life in the poorer countries of the Asia and Pacific region.
How is ADF funded?
ADF resources come mainly from contributions of ADB's member countries, which are mobilized under periodic replenishments, and net income transfers from OCR. Initial contributions to the ADF were pledged in 1973 and designated as ADF I. Since then, the ADF has been replenished several times. The eleventh replenishment (ADF 12), which will support grant operations during the period 2017–2020, is the first after the combination of concessional loan operations with ADB's OCR balance sheet. Thirty-four members of ADB have provided direct contributions to the ADF since its establishment:
Australia; Austria; Belgium; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; China, People's Republic of; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; Hong Kong, China; India; Indonesia; Ireland; Italy; Japan; Kazakhstan; Korea, Republic of; Luxembourg; Malaysia; Nauru; The Netherlands; New Zealand; Norway; Portugal; Singapore; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Taipei,China; Thailand; Turkey; United Kingdom; United States
ADF 12 donors (effective 14 September 2018)
Australia; Austria; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; China, People's Republic of; Denmark; Finland; France; Germany; Hong Kong, China; India; Indonesia; Ireland; Italy; Japan; Kazakhstan; Korea, Republic of; Luxembourg; Malaysia; The Netherlands; New Zealand; Norway; Portugal; Singapore; Spain; Sweden; Switzerland; Taipei,China; Thailand; Turkey; United Kingdom; United States
Who is eligible for ADF assistance?
Currently, 18 DMCs are classified as concessional assistance only, 15 of which are eligible for ADF grants: Afghanistan, Cambodia, Kiribati, Kyrgyz Republic, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Nepal, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tajikistan, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
However, only DMCs with moderate to high risk of debt distress are allocated ADF grants. These DMCs fall under one of three groups based on risk of debt distress:
- "grants-only" countries;
- "ADF-blend" countries, which have access to both the ADF grants and concessional OCR loans (COL); and
- "COL-only" countries.
How are ADF resources allocated?
ADB's concessional assistance policy guides the allocation of concessional resources, including ADF grants. The main instrument for distributing concessional resources is a performance-based allocation system which uses a formula that includes a number of key development variables designed to fairly allocate concessional support among the many competing needs, and to direct the funds to where they will be used most effectively.
The proportion of assistance provided as grant financing is contingent on the country's risk of debt distress. This is determined by the outcome of a forward-looking debt sustainability analysis. High-risk countries will receive 100% of their allocation as grants and moderate-risk countries, 50%, while low-risk countries will receive only loans. To avoid rewarding poor performance, a 20% volume discount will be applied to the grant portion of a country's performance-based allocation.
How are ADF resources utilized?
ADF-financed operations serve many of the economic, strategic, and humanitarian interests of contributing members in a cost-effective manner. No other multilateral fund is as directly and broadly involved in the economic and social development of poor and less creditworthy countries in Asia and the Pacific.
ADB member countries see ADF financing as important for achieving ADB's vision of a region free from poverty. In support of this overarching objective, ADF financing is used to support development projects and programs that include:
- infrastructure;
- policy support and policy reform;
- production capacity, human development, and environmentally sustainable investments;
- good governance and capacity building for development management; and
- regional cooperation.

Corydora Kitten Cat Fish!Posted 2009.10.24 11.53 in Aquaria by
OMG – this morning I was sitting around trying to think of some good ways to procrastinate on my chores, when I noticed something small, dark and wriggly scooting along just above the gravel in my aquarium.
I moved in for a closer look, and to my shock there was a wee little teeny tiny Peppered Cory catfish! A baby catfish!
A kitten fish! Squeeee!
My two corydoras have been mating like crazy for what seems like at least two months, but I didn't think anything had come of it – the eggs looked like duds, and they all get eaten within a few days. So this was totally unexpected!
The little baby is about 1/2 inch long, I don't know how old that would make it, and I don't know if there might be others. It's obviously done a very good job at hiding, to have survived to get to this size.
It looks just like the parents, except in miniature.

02 Jul Preventing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender bias at work
Recently, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community has been in the media due to new laws being passed. Same-sex marriage is now legal throughout the United States, and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has been working to halt discrimination in the workplace.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws, protecting LGBT workers along with anyone else who seeks a job, against discrimination. Discrimination against the person's color, race, sex, pregnancy, religion, nation of origin, age or disability/genetic information is illegal within the United States. For example, if a person is not hired for a job simply due to age despite having the ability to perform the job and can prove that age was a factor, that could be a basis for a lawsuit against age discrimination. Federal laws protect employees who report the discrimination from retaliation, too, which means that no employer can fire an employee for reporting an unsafe or harassing work environment.
The Strategic Enforcement Plan designed by the EEOC specifically protects the LGBT community from discrimination at work. The community is protected under Title VII's sex discrimination provisions and has become an enforcement priority. Between 2013 and 2016, the EEOC aims to focus particular efforts on maintaining a discrimination-free work environment for LGBT workers.
For workers who have suffered due to discrimination, the EEOC has started to file LGBT-related lawsuits to protect the community citing the discriminatory events under Title VII. As each case is won and brought to federal attention, the laws and efforts of the EEOC can be altered to suit.

MLS San Jose Earthquakes crest redesign
WestRaider posted a topic in ConceptsI don't have strong feelings for or against the San Jose Earthquakes, however I'm not a big fan of their current crest: http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/view/33279522014/San_Jose_Earthquakes/2014/Primary_Logo So I took some time to update their look to the following: I tried to balance it out more while retaining similar use of the colors from their current crest. Also, two additions I want to point out are the richter scale readings behind the word "San Jose" and the wreath around soccer ball which comes directly from San Jose's city seal: This is my first redesign and I'm new to graphic design, so constructive criticism is welcome!

Developer's guide to building tools on top of AJDT and AspectJ
This page is intended to aid anyone developing tools to extend or work with AJDT/AspectJ. Please contribute to this page with any relevant information, such as example code using the AJDT and/or AspectJ APIs.
--Mpchapman.gmail.com 06:12, 8 January 2007 (EST)
Obtaining crosscutting relationship information from AJDT
(the following is derived from a post to the AJDT newsgroup on 26/10/2006)
If you're developing an eclipse plugin and require access to crosscutting information whenever a project is built, you can register a listener with AJDT. Your plug-in will need to depend on org.eclipse.ajdt.core, org.eclipse.core.resources and org.eclipse.jdt.core. In the org.eclipse.ajdt.core plug-in there is an IAdviceChangedListener interface with a single adviceChanged() method.
Register this with the AJBuilder class like this (in your plug-in's start() method for example):
AJBuilder.addAdviceListener(new MyAdviceListener());
Currently (AJDT 1.4) this is called after every build of an AspectJ project (i.e. every *potential* advice change). In a future release this may be optimized to be only called if the advice has actually changed. AJDT/UI uses this mechanism to update the orange arrow image decorator.
Crosscutting information can then be obtained from the AJModel class. Here's an example:
public class MyAdviceListener implements IAdviceChangedListener { public void adviceChanged() { IProject project = AspectJPlugin.getDefault() .getCurrentProject(); System.out.println("build detected for project: " + project); AJRelationshipType[] relsTypes = AJRelationshipManager .getAllRelationshipTypes(); List rels = AJModel.getInstance().getAllRelationships( project, relsTypes); for (Iterator iter = rels.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) { AJRelationship ajrel = (AJRelationship) iter.next(); System.out.println("Relationship: " + ajrel.getSource().getElementName() + " " + ajrel.getRelationship().getDisplayName() + " " + ajrel.getTarget().getElementName()); } } }
For the "TJP Example" project (File > New > Other > AspectJ > AspectJ Examples), this prints:
build detected for project: P/TJP Example Relationship: around advises main Relationship: around advises foo Relationship: around advises bar Relationship: bar advised by around Relationship: foo advised by around Relationship: main advised by around
As you can see, you get the relationship in both directions. See AJRelationshipManager for the full list of relationships, so you can just ask for the relationship types you're interested in.
AJRelationship.getSource() and getTarget() return instances of IJavaElement so you can obtain further information from that, such as the parent or underlying resource.
AJDT's Compilation Units
JDT creates compilation units (instances of ICompilationUnit) for .java files. AJDT creates compilation units for .aj files, which are instances of AJCompilationUnit (which implements ICompilationUnit). The class AJCompilationUnitManager (in the org.eclipse.ajdt.core plug-in) contains some useful methods relating to this, such as:
public AJCompilationUnit getAJCompilationUnit(IFile file)
From an AJCompilationUnit you can obtain various structural information such as getAllTypes(). The primary type for ".aj" files is typically an aspect, which is represented by the AspectElement class, which contains aspect-specific methods such as getPointcuts() and getAdvice(). These return further aspect-specific elements such as PointcutElement and AdviceElement.
Since AJDT 1.4 for Eclipse 3.2, we register the ".aj" file extension as containing "Java-like" source code. One side-effect of this is that JDT creates its own compilation unit for a .aj file, in addition to the one created by AJDT. This is usually empty, as JDT doesn't understand aspects. If you obtain a compilation unit for a .aj file, you may therefore need to ensure it is an AJCompilationUnit - the method AJCompilationUnitManager.mapToAJCompilationUnit() can be used for this. Also, in order to distinguish the two compilation units, they have different working copy owners (and the JDT ones are filtered from the package explorer). This means for example that IType.resolveType(String) won't work for aspects - instead you need to use the two arg version, IType.resolveType(String, WorkingCopyOwner), specifying AJDT's working copy owner:
Using the AspectJ AST parser
Basic example, taken from bug 88861
import java.util.*; import org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.*; public class Program { public static void main(String []argv) { ASTParser parser = ASTParser.newParser(AST.JLS2); parser.setCompilerOptions(new HashMap()); parser.setSource(argv[0].toCharArray()); CompilationUnit cu2 = (CompilationUnit) parser.createAST(null); AjNaiveASTFlattener visitor = new AjNaiveASTFlattener(); cu2.accept(visitor); System.err.println(visitor.getResult()); } }
Compile the above and run it:
java Program "public aspect X { pointcut p(): call(* *(..));}"
then it prints:
public aspect X { pointcut p():call(* *(..)); }
See also bug 110465: Continue AST work

Limitation: There is currently no AST support for resolving type bindings: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146528

Last summer, I lost 80% of my income from my blog due to the Google algorithm change that impacted almost all health bloggers including Dr. Mercola.I'm now working to build my blog and YouTube channel and I appreciate all the support from my fans. Once I can start making more money, I will be able to hire some help and childcare, so I can create more content. Thank you for any help you can offer. Here are some ways you can support me as a content creator and journalist:
- Support me on Patreon (I'm still setting up the bonuses from the tiers but you can start donating now).
- Buy my shampoo or skincare. Want more info? Read my review of MONAT. Or click here to learn how to order MONAT and save the most money. Got questions? Send me an email at email@example.com with any questions or if you need help placing an order.
- Send me a donation via Paypal: email@example.com
- Enroll in my online course: Online Marketing Simplified. Updates to the course are temporarily on hold so I can cover Q -- but I will be back to adding course lessons as soon as the storm is over and we are out of quarantine -- any week now!
- If you can't help financially, it's OK! You can help by sharing my content. Share my blog posts, YouTube videos, and Facebook & Instagram posts, and leave me comments. Sharing helps get my work seen -- and liking and commenting helps boost the content in the search engine algorithms.

Can You Make a Holiday Ham in Your Slow Cooker?
- Festive Occasions
- 12/22/15
- Share
Can you make a holiday ham in your slow cooker? Yes! In fact, If you're planning on whipping up a ham for your holiday festivities this year, your best bet is to cook it with your Crock-Pot 6.5-Quart Countdown Touchscreen Digital Slow Cooker. Slow cooking a ham will produce the best results and it eliminates the risk of the meat drying out. In your slow cooker the ham will stay moist and succulent, soaking up the rich flavors of the glaze.
Cooking a Ham in Your Slow Cooker
Cooking a ham in your slow cooker requires very little preparation. You can choose from a number of different glazes, including the two recipes below. Then simply set up your device, place the ham inside and let the magic happen.
- Coat your slow cooker with cooking spray.
- On the top of the ham, make cuts about 1/4 inch deep in a diamond pattern.
- Place the ham in your slow cooker and cover with desired glaze.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
- Ensure that internal temperature of ham reaches 140 degrees.
- Once ham is fully cooked, remove from your slow cooker and cover it loosely with foil.
- Strain the cooking juices and then slice the ham.
- Pour the juices over the sliced ham and serve on a platter.
Pineapple and Mustard Glaze
Pineapple brings a sweet and fruity touch to a holiday ham, made complete with the ground stone flavors of brown mustard.
- 2 cans pineapple slices, packed in juice
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/3 cup whole grain mustard.
Drain pineapple from the can and keep 3/4 cup juice. In a bowl, whisk together the juice, brown sugar and mustards. Once your ham is in the slow cooker, coat it with the glaze. Using toothpicks, attach the pineapple rings along the top of the ham. Once it has fully cooked, cover it with more glaze. Slice, serve and enjoy!
Maple Brown Sugar Glaze
The woody but sweet flavor of maple paired with brown sugar is the perfect accent for a fully cooked ham. A pinch of cinnamon gives this recipe a festive touch.
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard
- Dash of cinnamon.
In a saucepan, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, apple juice, brown mustard and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and heat for about 2 minutes. Pour the glaze over your ham in your slow cooker. Cover and cook for allotted time. If desired, save some of the glaze for pouring over the ham after it is fully cooked.

I know what it looks like. It looks like an arty art book about an artist. And it is. But there's more clarity and wisdom in here — about what it means to do meaningful work, no matter what you do — than just about any book I've read on any subject.

Maybe you started your sailing career in a Laser or a Lightning. Then you campaigned a J-24. Then you moved up to that 40 footer with a football team size crew and a sail inventory half the value of the national debt. You still want to sail but you want to make it simpler. You want a sail plan that is easy to handle (no gambling about on the foredeck, no gorillas to grind in a jib sheet), a good size cockpit so you can take the grand kids out (without losing one over the side), yet still have a boat that sails very well and is competitive in the local handicap series. Hmm, you better take a look at the Harbor 25.
The Harbor 25 is simple to sail, elegant to look at yet she sails really well. She has a modern hull under the water line including a semi-bulb keel. She has a nice tall rig …
so she goes up wind with gusto.
And down wind with the optional retractable pole and asymmetrical spinnaker, even on light air days.
Meanwhile, the cockpit holds the family crew, including daughter and grandson (future Olympic gold medalist) with room and safety to spare.
The helm is marvelously balanced so your daughter and grandson can get some tiller time too (never too soon to get that little person driving!)
When you're finished for the day, the roller furling and main with lazy jacks are down neatly in a jiffy with a hand to spare!Of course the two cylinder Yanmar Diesel with low drag Martec folding prop is unobtrusive when sailing but will get you home in a tide crunching hurry when the food or diapers run out.The bottom line is the Harbor 25, because of its safe simplicity, will have you out sailing more and having more fun sailing than you have had in quite a while. They always told you that more time on the water was what it was all about.

Hugh Jackman Says Early Work Has Begun To Bring Wolverine 2 To Japan
Posted on Monday, August 10th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
We've known more or less for certain that another Wolverine movie was happening and that it could well take place in Japan. Over the weekend, while appearing at the Teen Choice Awards, Hugh Jackman said on stage that Wolverine would be heading to Japan, and then gave MTV a few more quotes backstage. "Japan is where we're heading," he said, "[and] we're starting to work on it now. We're in the … first steps of developing that story." Read More »

Shorthand Press
Before textese there was shorthand, and Shorthand Press lovingly celebrates the elegant, cursive characters of this obscure written English, on greeting cards, postcards, notebooks, and tees. Commonly used by midcentury secretaries and paralegals, the form languished in recent decades. Seattle native Erin Healy is doing what she can to draw attention to this heirloom text, punching up shirts with the one-character symbols for "crafty" and "unruly," (along with translation). Simple and elegant Many Thanks cards, are versatile stationery staples. But the cotton baby onesies steal the show, with their gender-neutral, kelly-green "Peanut."

Amitai, a chareidi soldier who refused to remove his beard, is in jail, serving a three-month sentence.
The episode led MK Yaakov Margi of Shas to remark: "Incidents like this send a clear message to the chareidi sector that the IDF wants to alter your external appearance and not allow you to keep a chareidi lifestyle even in the frameworks meant for chareidim."
"My brother enlisted to the IDF with a beard, received an exemption from shaving, and served on his base with a beard for a long while," the soldier's brother told Channel 2. "Until one day Lt. Col. Roy Ashuri came and decided to cancel the leniencies chareidi soldiers enjoy. The rov of the base recommended the leniency for religious reasons. The rov told me that he knows my brother and davened Shacharis and Mincha with him every day at the base shul. But his commander told him the base rov is not the one who decides and that he did not accept his recommendation."
The brother told Channel 2 that the commander decided that Amitai was not chareidi on the basis of a photo taken at a beach. But the photo was taken at a gender-separate beach, the brother insisted.
Amitai joined the air force in defiance of his chareidi family but is still punctilious in keeping mitzvos. Following his refusal to shave, he was confined to base for a week and then warned that he was about to be put on trial for disobeying an order. This prompted him to go absent without leave for three months. Since giving himself up, he has been jailed for three months prior to a trial where the Military Prosecution is to demand 240 days' imprisonment.
"I investigated, I checked; he is a chareidi soldier," said Channel 2 journalist Carmelah Menasheh.

The Get-Rid-Of-Crap-Every-Month Club
A modest proposal to get rid of useless crap, make some money and save the world.
No word captures the essence of consumer capitalism better. More clothes, more food, more computers, more toys, more electronics, more books, more magazines, more cosmetics, more cars, more houses. And no other business model represents this better than the XYZ-of-the-month clubs which have been popping up all over the place. Subscription commerce, they call it.
But what about the opposite?
You don't have to be particularly wealthy or clinically diagnosed with hoarding to (at least occasionally) feel like you're getting lost in all the crap in your apartment or house. And if you're anything like me, you can't bring yourself to get rid of stuff you don't need for a simple reason: the hassle of taking it to Housing Works (or another charity).
To fight the plague of accumulating crap I came up with a business idea: after you sign up, you get an empty box in the mail with a paid return label every month. You fill it up with stuff you don't need and send it back. You then get a $10 check.
How does it work?
The cost of postage and the check along with all the processing costs are covered from the money generated from sales of valuable crap. Remember: one man's crap is another man's treasure. The company could either set up its own site for selling cheap interesting stuff (clothes, posters, decor, toys, gadgets, etc) or try to sell in on eBay, Gazelle and other existing outlets. Whatever doesn't get sold can be donated to a charity or sorted and recycled. Hence: saving the world.
Now, who's with me?

The Height to Hang a Shelf Over a Sofa
Standard rules for hanging a shelf on the wall don't apply when you mount it over a sofa. Sofas vary in height, and comfort is another factor, leaving you to rely chiefly on common sense. If the shelf is too low, a head-bonk may be in your future, but not necessarily. If it's too high, it can appear disproportionate or oddly positioned. Experiment with different spots before you decide, to get ideas flowing.
How Low Can You Go
For comfort, a shelf should sit at least 6 inches up -- not over the sofa, but over the height of seated peoples' heads. Gauge this distance by having your tallest family member or home occupant sit on the sofa. Use painter's tape to replicate the shelf. Stand back. If the faux shelf seems too high, so will the actual one. Another option is to pull the sofa forward, and mount the shelf behind it, near the top. That way, it acts as a sofa table where you can display art, vases or photos. Or place a sofa table behind the couch, and mount the shelf at the determined height for a tiered effect, leaving less empty wall space.

With the advent of technology and the prevalence of online shopping, the term eCommerce fraud has become more general and more vague. Under it, there are numerous types of categories and attacks. Of these, none are more insidious than Account Takeover, aka ATO. It's more difficult to catch, and the ensuing damages for both merchants and unsuspecting customers go beyond just stolen goods.
When someone becomes a victim of ATO, they lose more than money and login credentials — they lose confidence. Product Manager and Head of ATO at Riskified Alon Shem-Tov said the psychological effects of ATO incidents can be just as costly as the financial aspects.
Many people don't realize, said Shem-Tov, that ATO is not just about the moment when a fraudster gains control of a consumer's account and uses it to make a purchase. It's about the series of events leading up to that as well as a long tail of consequences and mitigations following the incident.
Thus, he said, any company or product claiming to solve the problem of ATO fraud must start at the beginning of the relationship between the customer and the brand (proactive) and follow through on the back end of the incident (reactive). Riskified provides resources for companies that are unsure how to do this, he said.
In a recent interview with PYMNTS, Shem-Tov outlined what businesses, their customers and their security partners need to know about the full lifecycle of an ATO.
More Than Money Lost
Shem-Tov said there are three major consequences of ATOs that often get overlooked.
First, these attacks can have a rolling effect: Once a fraudster gains access to a consumer's credentials at one eCommerce merchant, he holds the key to a potential myriad of other digital stores at which to exploit them.
Shem-Tov noted consumers tend to use the same login credentials across sites and services, so the fraudster can simply test variants of the same username and password combo across the internet until one works.
If customers are duplicating passwords across merchants, that's a problem. If they're using the same password for their bank account, said Shem-Tov, it takes the breach to a whole new level. Now the fraudster is not only able to make purchases with the breached account, they can also essentially steal all of that customer's funds.
In addition, the fraudster can open new accounts using the name and details collected from the breached account. Furthermore, they can enrich this data using social media accounts. Fraud teams scrutinizing orders made with these details will encounter an actual person with a corresponding digital footprint, which will tip the scale to approve such orders, despite the fact that they are fraudulent.
The second underplayed consequence is the difficulty of getting back what was lost. If a fraudster succeeds in making a purchase with a stolen credit card number, the rightful consumer can file a chargeback to get their money back — but regaining control of their lost PII (personally identifiable information) is essentially impossible.
Finally, Shem-Tov said regaining control of compromised accounts can be a long and complicated process, starting with proving one's identity to the security and customer service team. It's likely the fraudster changed the password and security questions on the account, so if the true customer tries to log in, he could end up looking like the bad guy!
Getting Their Hands on Data
There are a few ways in which fraudsters gain access to raw customer data.
First, there are data breaches like the ones at Equifax, Target and other retailers. These breaches can compromise hundreds, thousands and even millions of customers in one fell swoop, resulting in a massive market for stolen credit card details available to any fraudster on the Dark Web. The hackers who gain this information usually then sell it to the end fraudster. The vast majority of fraud attacks result from these data breaches.
Then, there's classic email phishing which uses social engineering to persuade customers to divulge their personal information. A fraudster may pose as a friend, family member or colleague to carry out this type of attack. If a victim falls for it, it can compromise not only that person's information, but also that of others in his network.
Finally, there are fraudsters who call customer service and pose as legitimate customers to collect or leverage information.
These methods, however, are only the first step in the ATO process. Not all of the data gathered will be useful — some of it may be out of date, or passwords and security questions may have been changed by customers upon learning of the breach.
Separating the Wheat from the Chaff
Once a hacker has a data haul, said Shem-Tov, he sells the credentials to the highest bidder on the Dark Web. The highest bidder then uses a bot to run automated scripts that test username and password combinations against the breached site to weed out accounts that no longer work.
Once he's validated which credentials are good, they get bundled and resold on the Dark Web to end customers — fraudsters who will buy goods using the validated credentials.
Only then will the victim start to see classic signs of ATO — but with so much going on before the incident, Shem-Tov said it's important for the defense to start earlier than the moment of attack.
Nipping Fraud in the Bud
Shem-Tov said the principles behind spotting ATO are similar to those behind traditional fraud detection.
If someone is logged in to an eCommerce site, then the site has seen them at least once before when the account was created. Therefore, said Shem-Tov, it's possible to have a user profile already in place, even if it's just bare bones.
A login from an unfamiliar IP address could raise a red flag for fraud defenses to be on the lookout for other unusual behavior. How does the user interact with the site? What is his navigation path, and what does his typing, scrolling or clicking behavior look like compared to other times he's visited?
These data points are known as behavior analytics, and, according to Shem-Tov, they can help spot bot behavior a mile away.
For example, the login time relative to the browsing session will look very different from a live buyer and an automated application. A user heading straight to the login page can be a telltale sign, said Shem-Tov, because real customers often spend some time browsing before they log in, whereas a fraudster has a short time to choose which item to steal — and a bot isn't browsing at all.
High keystroke velocity or login attempt velocity can also be a dead giveaway that a bot is trying to gain access where it doesn't belong, he said.
It Takes All Kinds
Behavioral change and bot activity can both be difficult to detect for their own reasons. Limited history can make it hard to tell what's "normal" for a user. Even with a good base of data, a legitimate user could appear to be sketchy if he's logging in while on vacation.
That's one reason why Shem-Tov said ATO attack prevention must be aggregated and continuous throughout the shopping journey, not just at the point of payment. Attack detection and prevention must begin at the point of login so that, if possible, PII can be kept out of the hands of those who would abuse it, preventing damage before it happens.
The How We Shop Report, a PYMNTS collaboration with PayPal, aims to understand how consumers of all ages and incomes are shifting to shopping and paying online in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research builds on a series of studies conducted since March, surveying more than 16,000 consumers on how their shopping habits and payments preferences are changing as the crisis continues. This report focuses on our latest survey of 2,163 respondents and examines how their increased appetite for online commerce and digital touchless methods, such as QR codes, contactless cards and digital wallets, is poised to shape the post-pandemic economy.

Hey everyone!
It has been a quiet year in some respects – but there has been so much behind the scenes that is going on, both business and personal, and a lot to keep an eye out for.
Speaking of – we are so excited to share Ray + Danielle's wedding film with you all! Ray + Danielle, before their ceremony, met for a private moment outside of the church. Standing back to back, saving their first moment of seeing each other for when Danielle would walk down the aisle, they read letters that they had written for each other.
Their letters were SUCH a true picture of what marriage is that I was overjoyed to use them in their film. They showcased what Ray + Danielle are committing to, what marriage is in light of who God is, what it means for them both to surrender their rights to each other and God, and how marriage becomes a place where others can observe the meeting of two souls coming together as one and worshiping God freely in light of what He has done for us in Christ.
// Press HD, press play, hit pause, let it buffer, hit play. Enjoy! //

What is your Ayurvedic Mind Body Type?
In the last post, we talked about the three different of Ayurvedic mind types called doshas. Even if you read the description of Vata dosha and found that it described you completely, there are a few things you need to know about the Ayurvedic mind body type.
First of all, we have all three doshas in our mind body constitution, but each of us has different proportions of the three. Secondly, most people have two dominant doshas with the third falling far behind. For example, a person may be a pitta-vata but their kapha score is twice as low as the pitta score. A small portion of the population is dominant in a single dosha and an even smaller portion it tridoshic, where all three doshas are more or less the same. So the possibilities for Ayurvedic mind body types are as follows:
Are you confused yet? If not, great.
Your Ayurvedic mind body type is your genetic lot in life. It was the deck of cards you were dealt with at conception. So let's suppose you were born with a fiery personality. You tend to have redness in the skin, are prone to breakouts, get irritated quite easily and are extremely driven. You were born with a fair amount of Pitta or fire and water in your mind body constitution. But let's suppose you also move very fast, have difficulty gaining weight and have a racing mind. This means that you may also have a fair amount of Vata in your Ayurvedic mind body constitution. So your Ayurvedic mind body type would be Pitta-Vata.
Your natural mind body type is called your Prakruti. This is your nature. You cannot change it. Oftentimes, I get clients who say they want to be more of one dosha or another. You can only stay in balance when you are true to your prakruti.
Now let's suppose you read the description of the doshas and you said, "Oh yes, that's it, I'm a Kapha type." You have a lot of extra weight, you are tired and lethargic. You move a lot slower than before. You crave sweets. While it does sound like a kapha type (out of balance in some respects), you need to search into your past. When searching for prakruti, we look to all the years of life, since the time of birth. If in childhood, you were skinny, could eat anything, were very nervous and active, you may have been born with more Vata in you. But look at the rule above. I stressed that you cannot change your Ayurvedic mind body type. Right?
The answer is "yes". However, through improper diet, lifestyle, experience and life choices, we can get so out of balance that we no longer present ourselves as our true nature. That is called Vikruti or our current state. Vikruti or our state of imbalance can mask our pakruti, sometimes completely.
So how then, you might say, do I discover my prakruti?
Self-awareness is the key. When you learn about the doshas and take a trip down memory lane, there are some consistencies about you. An Ayurvedic practitioner can also help you to discover both the prakruti and vikruti.
In the next blog post, we'll discuss what we can learn through our prakruti or Ayurvedic mind body type.
Wishing you perfect health always.
Michelle Fondin, Founder of The Ayurvedic Path, Inc.

Which of the following conditions is not primarily caused by deterioration of arteries?
Diabetes makes disease of the arteries worse, but primarily is a genetic disease made more evident by obesity in adults. The others -- impotence, wrinkling of the skin and strokes -- are like heart attacks: They are primarily caused by the aging of your arteries.

A hammered dulcimer or a santoor with a muting system is a special music instrument.
The secret of the muting mechanism developed by Marc Ramser lies in its simplicity. It functions reliably and allows a differentiated sound composition. The mute is an aluminum bar equipped with felt pads or wedges which, in its idle position, rests against the strings from below. Activating the foot pedal releases the bar. The foot pedal may also be locked if desired.
The muting system allows fascinating variations of the typical overtone sound spectrum of the hammered dulcimer and makes interesting sound effects possible also on the santoor. This opens up entirely new possibilities for the player to vary his percussion and rhythmic effects.
An elaborate and ingenious technique whereby all of the moveable metal parts are lined with special felt pads makes this entire system completely noiseless.
The production and fine-tuning of the mechanism require a high degree of precision and lots of patience.

Month: April 2018
I have stated that I'm working in 7 (seven) large (9×11-ish) journals, all at the same time, right?
So, it works out that I finish pages in waves…
(That's a Rob Thomas song, (Paper Dolls) off his album, The Great Unknown.
Love Rob Thomas music. I've seen Matchbox Twenty and Rt solo a couple times, and I LOVE his songwriting and voice. I loves me a good singer/songwriter
This song makes me think of my ex.
This is from The Perks Of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky.
I think of some folks when I read this….
Finished this today, sitting on a bench on Georgia street after lunch…
This is uncharacteristic of me, in that it is so sparse…so severe…
But this bad boy goes out to my last TWO exes.
This is Joan of Arc.
'nuff said?
Where I paint:
I have a room full of art supplies, but my art table is in my living room. There is more room out here, I listen to music while I make the art, and the cats are more comfortable out here.
I spent a few hours today, cleaning up just this area:
To transform the space to THIS:
No difference, you say?
Cleaner is cleaner, even if it doesn't show in the photos…
I'm off to paint in that big stack of books…
