As the title of this blog implies, it's been another busy week this week. As well as all the travelling, I've been doing quite a lot of painting too ….so all in all, a very good week.
When I visited Dan Thornton and David Feeney in Edinburgh back in May, they introduced me to Neil, a friend of theirs and over a pint or two in the pub that evening we got talking about hills and walking and by the end of the evening had agreed to meet up for a walk together sometime in the summer. Both being very busy, sometime turned out to be last Saturday and we decided that Loch Turret and Ben Chonzie would be a good spot being not too far for either of us to drive. As it turned out, we were very lucky with the choice of days as we picked the one fine day between several not so good ones.
We met at the Loch Turret dam and did a clockwise circuit of the loch taking in the Munro Ben Chonzie that rises beyond the far end. It makes a good walk and amazingly for an August Saturday we saw no one once we'd left the car park until we got close to the summit. There, Neil and Nita could see a big group of folk who we figured must have come up by the shorter more popular route. They however all started to make their way down as we arrived at the summit and we spent half an hour sat enjoying the big views and bright sunshine. The descent was pretty straight forward at first, down huge grass and moss covered slopes with views back across the more craggy face of the hill. But then came the steep section of heather, grass, moss, stones and broken crags ….much of it wet and slippery underfoot. I was OK for most of it ….using my tried and tested method of descending steep ground ….sitting down and lowering myself. One short section however required moving across the slope and I sure was glad of having two people to guide me. Nita went first; trying to point out where I should be placing my feet, while Neil followed behind keeping a firm grip on the back of my rucksack just in case I slipped! I have to say I was very glad once we'd got across this little section and were once again heading downhill towards easier ground. Anyway, it made for a bit of excitement before the lengthy walk back along the side of the loch. It was a very good day and I don't think Neil was too put off by my snail's pace and unorthodox methods of descent……he's suggested we all meet up again in the autumn to visit his local Fife hills…..am looking forward to it.
Sunday was a day painting and Monday saw me catching the train over to Edinburgh to deliver a small painting for the Macmillan Art Exhibition at Bonhams on Queen Street. I was a little concerned whether I'd find it OK on my own but in the end it was simple and I even managed to avoid the new trams!
I was painting again on Tuesday and then I spent Wednesday packing the nine paintings and one big drawing for The Biscuit Factory autumn exhibition in Newcastle. We loaded the car with the work first thing Thursday and drove down to Newcastle, arriving at the gallery about half past one in the afternoon. It's an amazing place and I'm really looking forward to having a proper look around when we return for the preview on September 12th. Yesterday however, it was just a case of deliver the work and then head straight back …….even so , it was seven o'clock before we final got home and put our feet up.
It's been more painting today as well as sorting out the studio ready for a few visitors tomorrow. It's the Irvine Harbourside Festival and so there should be a few extra visitors around. I think there will be a few other Courtyard artists open so hopefully it'll be a successful day.

June 20, 2013
WASHINGTON (RNS) People who hoped the Arab Spring would lead to greater religious freedom across the Middle East have been sorely disappointed, and a new Pew study confirms that the region has grown even more repressive for various religious groups.
"In 2011, when most of the political uprisings known as the Arab Spring occurred, the Middle East and North Africa experienced pronounced increases in social hostilities involving religion, while government restrictions on religion remained exceptionally high," according to the report by the Pew Research Center.
The study shows the number of countries in the Middle East or North Africa with sectarian or communal violence between religious groups doubled from five to 10 during 2011, a year that coincided with most of the political uprisings of Arab Spring.
Among those groups most adversely affected were Egypt's Coptic Christians, whose churches have been bombed and burned both before and after the February 2011 fall of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Globally, the Pew survey of 198 countries found that the share of countries with high or very high restrictions on religion rose from 37 percent in mid-2010 to 40 percent by the end of 2011.
And because some of the most restrictive countries are very populous, more than 5.1 billion people (74 percent of the world's population) were living in 2011 in countries "with high government restrictions on religion or high social hostilities involving religion, the brunt of which often falls on religious minorities," the study's authors report.
The report also tracked the proportion of the world's nations where religious groups suffered persecution:
- Christians were harassed in the largest share of nations – 105, but down from 111 in the previous year.
- Muslims were persecuted in 101 countries in 2011, up from 90 countries the year before.
- Jews were harassed in 69 countries, about the same as the year before (68 countries).

John Ashcroft
Former U.S. Attorney General, Governor, and U.S. Senator John Ashcroft serves as founder and Chairman of The Ashcroft Group and The Ashcroft Law Firm (together, the "Firm"). Together with the select group of seasoned, respected, and experienced senior executives he recruited to join him—many of whom helped to lead the U.S. Department of Justice during a significant time in our nation's history—the Firm has earned a reputation for integrity and a track record for accelerating successful resolutions of even the most complex matters. With a focus on issues of integrity and corporate governance, the Firm provides compliance advice, legal counsel, and consulting services to world-leading clients, including Fortune 500 companies, multi-national corporations, and corporate executives.
As Attorney General, and the U.S. Justice Department's CEO, Mr. Ashcroft led the world's largest and foremost international law firm and law enforcement agency—an organization larger than most Fortune 500 companies, with over 122,000 employees. Mr. Ashcroft integrated strategic planning, budgeting, and performance measures, which resulted in the DOJ earning a clean audit for the first time in its history. Mr. Ashcroft boldly led the Department of Justice through the transformational period after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He subsequently reorganized the Department to focus on its number one priority: preventing terrorism. The tough antiterrorism campaign he directed helped keep America safe throughout his tenure and resulted in the dismantling of terrorist cells across America and the disruption of over 150 terrorist plots worldwide.
Within two months of the attacks, and with financial markets still reeling, the unprecedented corporate scandals at ENRON, WorldCom, and dozens more unfolded, further destabilizing the weakened economy. John Ashcroft was called upon to restore America's faith in the integrity of our marketplace. He marshaled the resources of the federal government to bring to justice those guilty of massive corporate fraud. At all times, he demanded that cases be brought swiftly, with appropriate serious penalties—always taking into account the best interests of the employees and shareholders whose lives were most directly affected.
From 1985 to 1993, as Governor of Missouri, Ashcroft balanced eight consecutive budgets, built a $120 million budget surplus, and established a $190 million operating reserve. His management and fiscal integrity helped generate 338,000 new jobs state-wide, a triple-A bond rating from the three major Wall Street rating agencies, a per capita state and local tax burden ranked 49th in the United States, and a 12 percent increase in personal income. His new education performance standards led Fortune magazine to name him as one of the nation's top ten Education Governors. In 1991, the non-partisan National Governors Association voted him Chairman.
Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1994, he brought his management skills to Washington where he authored budget rules protecting Social Security and Medicare and helped balance the federal budget for the first time in decades. As a member of the Senate Judiciary, Foreign Relations, and Commerce Committees, he worked to reform laws regulating the banking, telecommunications, aviation, transportation, and information technology industries. In 1973, Mr. Ashcroft served as Missouri Auditor, followed by two terms as Missouri Attorney General. He was raised in Springfield, Missouri, and received his undergraduate degree from Yale University and his Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago.

Iconic Car Debuts From the Year You Were Born
If you've spent any time in the greeting card section of a store, you've come across birthday cards that chronicle the significant historical events, scientific breakthroughs, or cultural developments for a particular year. Among the many noteworthy occurrences that happen in a specific year is the debut of a car that defines the period, introduces breakthrough innovations, or displays revolutionary styling and aesthetics.
Stacker compiled a list of iconic car debuts from the year you were born, drawing on sources that include Popular Mechanics, plus automotive industry publications like Car and Driver, and Hemmings, the magazine favored by classic car aficionados.
By the early 1920s, the gas-powered cars had won the technology battle over electric and steam vehicles, though the Doble Steam Car, built by Doble Steam Motors, was still trying to mine the market for steam-powered vehicles in 1922. The Doble ran on recycled exhaust steam and could reach 90 miles an hour.
In 1928, the Duesenberg Model J represented the height of glamour and prestige, a vehicle driven by celebrities and the affluent. In 1932, Ford introduced its Roadster, which made the V8 available for engine-tinkerers and those who like to get their hands dirty working under the hood.

While we're on vacation, we're re-posting content from last year. This post was originally published on May 8, 2012.
By Liz Borkowski
At Wonkblog, Brad Plumer highlights a new NBER paper that's disappointing to those who hoped that distributing cleaner cookstoves in India and other countries would be an easy way to improve respiratory health and help slow global warming. Many low-cost, traditional cookstoves belch soot, which is bad for the lungs of people who spend long hours near the stoves and for the ice that melts more quickly when soot particles settle on it. Cleaner stoves would improve respiratory health and could run on less fuel, and these changes could be of particular benefit to women, who often spend hours each day collecting stove fuel and cooking.
Plumer explains that aid groups have noticed the potential for getting big health improvements from wide distribution of relatively cheap improved stoves. But, he explains, new research suggests it won't be so easy:
One problem is that having a cheap, clean technology is no guarantee that it will be properly adopted. In a new NBER paper, economists Rema Hanna, Esther Duflo and Michael Greenstone note that there's been very little evidence on whether these stoves work in the real world. They looked at a randomized control trial that handed out cleaner stoves to 15,000 people in Orissa, one of India's poorest rural areas, and tracked the results over five years. The stoves were a bargain, costing about $12.50 a pop, and they used a chimney to keep smoke away from the users.
What Hanna and her colleagues found is that in the first year of using the stoves, households saw a serious drop in smoke inhalation. The cleaner cookstoves were working exactly as they did in the laboratory. But in the years after that, the stoves stopped working effectively. "We find no evidence of improvements in lung functioning or health and there is no change in fuel consumption (and presumably greenhouse gas emissions)," the authors write.
So what went wrong? Basically, none of the earlier evaluations of the clean cookstoves had taken into account how households in places like India would actually use the things. In early tests, there were trained technicians on hand at all times to inspect and repair the stoves. Not surprisingly, households used the stoves frequently. But when the technicians departed and the owners had to clean the chimneys themselves, they lost interest over time. People were spending too many hours conducting repairs and eventually just preferred to switch back to indoor cooking fires.
The study has several strengths. It it followed households for four years after they were initially offered new stoves, which the authors note is "virtually unprecedented in evaluations of health interventions or other new technologies where households learn about the benefits and maintenance needs over time." The researchers conducted air monitoring and also studied specific health endpoints, including lung functioning (measured with spirometry), infant birth weight and mortality rates, and blood pressure. The paper authors are all affiliated with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, which specializes in conducting randomized evaluations on poverty-reduction programs. (New Yorker subscribers can read more about J-PAL in Ian Parker's 2010 profile of Esther Duflo, "The Poverty Lab.")
I've seen some evidence (e.g., in another gated New Yorker piece, Burkard Bilger's 2009 "Hearth Surgery") that aid groups pay attention to the kinds of cookstoves that will be accepted in the areas targeted for stove distribution. They have to fit easily into people's homes, do a good job cooking staple foods like tortillas or injera, and require straightforward feeding with fuels that are readily available locally. They should be made with local materials and would ideally be affordable to local residents (though subsidies could be offered to lower households' costs). It would be wrong to think all aid groups have simply assumed that households everywhere will readily adopt the same US- (or European-) designed stove.
What seems to be unique about this particular study is that it considered how well stoves would be maintained and used over the long term — in other words, would the presumed reductions in soot emissions and related health improvements continue past the initial year or two of new stove use? The results are disappointing, but important for aid organizations and local governments to consider.
Maintenance has turned out to be a stumbling block for many well-intentioned global health interventions. Water and sanitation projects also have a mixed track record when it comes to long-term success. Water pumps or shared toilets can break down and never get fixed, either because the parts are too expensive or hard to obtain, or because there's no institutional structure in place to ensure ongoing maintenance and upkeep. I've heard that some of the savvier donors are starting to require grantees to monitor and report on longer-term outcomes for water projects, and that trend should continue. Maintenance may not sound exciting, but it's important for health.

text: [105th Congress Public Law 19] [From the U.S. Government Printing Office] <DOC> [DOCID: f:publ19.105] [[Page 217]] VOLUNTEER PROTECTION ACT OF 1997 [[Page 111 STAT. 218]] Public Law 105-19 105th Congress An Act To provide certain protections to volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and governmental entities in lawsuits based on the activities of volunteers. <<NOTE: June 18, 1997 - [S. 543]>> Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress <<NOTE: Volunteer Protection Act of 1997.>> assembled, SECTION 1. <<NOTE: 42 USC 14501 note.>> SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Volunteer Protection Act of 1997''. SEC. 2. <<NOTE: 42 USC 14501.>> FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.--The Congress finds and declares that-- (1) the willingness of volunteers to offer their services is deterred by the potential for liability actions against them; (2) as a result, many nonprofit public and private organizations and governmental entities, including voluntary associations, social service agencies, educational institutions, and other civic programs, have been adversely affected by the withdrawal of volunteers from boards of directors and service in other capacities; (3) the contribution of these programs to their communities is thereby diminished, resulting in fewer and higher cost programs than would be obtainable if volunteers were participating; (4) because Federal funds are expended on useful and cost- effective social service programs, many of which are national in scope, depend heavily on volunteer participation, and represent some of the most successful public-private partnerships, protection of volunteerism through clarification and limitation of the personal liability risks assumed by the volunteer in connection with such participation is an appropriate subject for Federal legislation; (5) services and goods provided by volunteers and nonprofit organizations would often otherwise be provided by private entities that operate in interstate commerce; (6) due to high liability costs and unwarranted litigation costs, volunteers and nonprofit organizations face higher costs in purchasing insurance, through interstate insurance markets, to cover their activities; and (7) clarifying and limiting the liability risk assumed by volunteers is an appropriate subject for Federal legislation because-- (A) of the national scope of the problems created by the legitimate fears of volunteers about frivolous, arbitrary, or capricious lawsuits; [[Page 111 STAT. 219]] (B) the citizens of the United States depend on, and the Federal Government expends funds on, and provides tax exemptions and other consideration to, numerous social programs that depend on the services of volunteers; (C) it is in the interest of the Federal Government to encourage the continued operation of volunteer service organizations and contributions of volunteers because the Federal Government lacks the capacity to carry out all of the services provided by such organizations and volunteers; and (D)(i) liability reform for volunteers, will promote the free flow of goods and services, lessen burdens on interstate commerce and uphold constitutionally protected due process rights; and (ii) therefore, liability reform is an appropriate use of the powers contained in article 1, section 8, clause 3 of the United States Constitution, and the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to promote the interests of social service program beneficiaries and taxpayers and to sustain the availability of programs, nonprofit organizations, and governmental entities that depend on volunteer contributions by reforming the laws to provide certain protections from liability abuses related to volunteers serving nonprofit organizations and governmental entities. SEC. 3. <<NOTE: 42 USC 14502.>> PREEMPTION AND ELECTION OF STATE NONAPPLICABILITY. (a) Preemption.--This Act preempts the laws of any State to the extent that such laws are inconsistent with this Act, except that this Act shall not preempt any State law that provides additional protection from liability relating to volunteers or to any category of volunteers in the performance of services for a nonprofit organization or governmental entity. (b) Election of State Regarding Nonapplicability.--This Act shall not apply to any civil action in a State court against a volunteer in which all parties are citizens of the State if such State enacts a statute in accordance with State requirements for enacting legislation-- (1) citing the authority of this subsection; (2) declaring the election of such State that this Act shall not apply, as of a date certain, to such civil action in the State; and (3) containing no other provisions. SEC. 4. <<NOTE: 42 USC 14503.>> LIMITATION ON LIABILITY FOR VOLUNTEERS. (a) Liability Protection for Volunteers.--Except as provided in subsections (b) and (d), no volunteer of a nonprofit organization or governmental entity shall be liable for harm caused by an act or omission of the volunteer on behalf of the organization or entity if-- (1) the volunteer was acting within the scope of the volunteer's responsibilities in the nonprofit organization or governmental entity at the time of the act or omission; (2) if appropriate or required, the volunteer was properly licensed, certified, or authorized by the appropriate authorities for the activities or practice in the State in which the harm occurred, where the activities were or practice was undertaken [[Page 111 STAT. 220]] within the scope of the volunteer's responsibilities in the nonprofit organization or governmental entity; (3) the harm was not caused by willful or criminal misconduct, gross negligence, reckless misconduct, or a conscious, flagrant indifference to the rights or safety of the individual harmed by the volunteer; and (4) the harm was not caused by the volunteer operating a motor vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other vehicle for which the State requires the operator or the owner of the vehicle, craft, or vessel to-- (A) possess an operator's license; or (B) maintain insurance.

(d) Exceptions to Volunteer Liability Protection.--If the laws of a State limit volunteer liability subject to one or more of the following conditions, such conditions shall not be construed as inconsistent with this section: (1) A State law that requires a nonprofit organization or governmental entity to adhere to risk management procedures, including mandatory training of volunteers. (2) A State law that makes the organization or entity liable for the acts or omissions of its volunteers to the same extent as an employer is liable for the acts or omissions of its employees. (3) A State law that makes a limitation of liability inapplicable if the civil action was brought by an officer of a State or local government pursuant to State or local law. (4) A State law that makes a limitation of liability applicable only if the nonprofit organization or governmental entity provides a financially secure source of recovery for individuals who suffer harm as a result of actions taken by a volunteer on behalf of the organization or entity. A financially secure source of recovery may be an insurance policy within specified limits, comparable coverage from a risk pooling mechanism, equivalent assets, or alternative arrangements that satisfy the State that the organization or entity will be able to pay for losses up to a specified amount. Separate standards for different types of liability exposure may be specified.

(2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to effect subsection (a)(3) or (e). SEC. 5. <<NOTE: 42 USC 14504.>> LIABILITY FOR NONECONOMIC LOSS. (a) General Rule.--In any civil action against a volunteer, based on an action of a volunteer acting within the scope of the volunteer's responsibilities to a nonprofit organization or governmental entity, the liability of the volunteer for noneconomic loss shall be determined in accordance with subsection (b). (b) Amount of Liability.-- (1) In general.--Each defendant who is a volunteer, shall be liable only for the amount of noneconomic loss allocated to that defendant in direct proportion to the percentage of responsibility of that defendant (determined in accordance with paragraph (2)) for the harm to the claimant with respect to which that defendant is liable. The court shall render a separate judgment against each defendant in an amount determined pursuant to the preceding sentence. (2) Percentage of responsibility.--For purposes of determining the amount of noneconomic loss allocated to a defendant who is a volunteer under this section, the trier of fact shall determine the percentage of responsibility of that defendant for the claimant's harm.

Han Solo's 'Return of the Jedi' Blaster Just Sold for $550,000 at an Auction
While Ron Howard's Han Solo spinoff was a box office flop, the iconic smuggler's name hasn't yet been tarnished. The people still love Han Solo (at least Harrison Ford's) and always will. They love him so much, in fact, they're willing to shell out half a million bucks to own his most prized weapon.
Over the weekend, one of Han's original blasters used in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi sold for a whopping $550,000, according to the Associated Press (via the New York Daily News). But the new owner of the iconic prop is Ripley's Believe It or Not, so fans may be able to actually see it for themselves if it shows up in one of the franchise's museums.
The blaster was also the top-selling item in the Hollywood Legends auction of Julien's Auctions in Las Vegas on Saturday. It was one of nearly 40 other Star Wars props from Return of the Jedi art director James L. Schoppe's personal collection. A Biker Scout blaster from the film sold for $90,000 and an Ewok prop axe for $11,000.
Other Hollywood memorabilia sold as well. One lucky bidder can now cruise around on a 1987 Harley-Davidson once owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger, one dropped $200,000 to have a chance to wear Christopher Reeves' costume from Superman III around the house, and someone spent a whole $10,000 on a pair of sweaty shoes that once touched Bruce Lee's feet!

This fire glass set comes with a Peterson Real Fyre SEE THRU Triple T Fireplace Glass Burner System. The Triple T fire glass burner produces eye-catching and soothing flames that bring out the beauty of fireglass while helping to keep you warm.
This is a vented gas fire glass set that must be installed in a fully vented wood burning fireplace. With vented gas fire glass sets you'll enjoy a large, realistic-looking flame that operates with an open chimney flue, or damper. These fire glass sets, which simulate a wood-burning fire, are the most realistic type of fire glass but, just like real fires, lose some of the generated heat up the chimney. Vented fire glass sets are the most popular type of fire glass sold. Professional installation is recommended.
Sets include stunning fire glass, separation grating, Real-Fyre burner pan with Triple T burner system, bag of sand (natural) or Lava-Fyre granules (propane), fuel injector/air mixer, connector kit, and damper clamp.
This fire glass set comes with a Manual Safety Pilot Kit. The manual safety pilot is the most basic safety pilot. It is a standing pilot light which stays lit indefinitely. To light the fire glass set or to turn the flame up and down, you simply turn the knob on the pilot kit. This knob is located on the actual pilot kit which is attached to the burner system.

• 2.5mm of cushion similar dampening
to 3.5mm in other tapes.
• Laser engraved aluminum end plug.
• Fully adhesive finishing tape.
• Butterfly clamp cover that doesn't add
• SILCA Crash Replacement Program
With our 'crash replacement' program your SILCA Bar Tape is covered for any crash for 1 year! It is subject to wear and tear and covered against manufacturer defect for 2 years.
How does it work?
When you purchase your new SILCA Bar Tape you are automatically enrolling yourself into the program. If purchased at a retailer, your program is only valid at THAT retailer with proof of purchase.
NASTRO Bar Tape retails at $50usd. In the unfortunate event that a crash happens, and replacement of bar tape is needed, the customer will receive a $15 discount ($35 purchase) for any color variant of the respective bar tape that was purchased (subject to availability).
Please keep the purchase information of your Bar Tape. If you bought online, please send pictures of the bar tape to email@example.com. If bought at one of our many retailers, please bring the bike to the shop for replacement.
At SILCA, one of our strongest beliefs is in the protection in your investment and more importantly, in the protection of yourself. Bar Tape should be replaced at least every year for the best performance and for safety checks of corrosion on aluminum bars or damage to carbon bars. We want to make sure that you are covered by providing the first crash replacement program for bar tape.
Check out SILCA NASTRO: https://silca.cc/collections/bar-tape-1
Inspired by advancements in running shoe foam and F1 tires as well as our own research into rolling efficiency, impedance and damping, we realized that new materials technology could allow for a significant improvement in bar tape. Using a laminate of SILCAthane, SILCAlon and 3M Visco-elastic adhesive instead of a single foam extrusion, the tape can be optimized across a range of desired features. The resulting tape has a softer, more comfortable feel, higher wet and dry grip, better vibration isolation, and 3-5x the durability of existing tape materials. Since the actual wrap of the tape can be as important as the tape itself, we have also developed a full adhesive-backed butterfly' to better cover the back of the lever clamp area without adding bulk, a high grip finishing tape and expanding aluminum/composite end plugs to ensure every detail is perfect.

My Mark X have been arrived in WESTMINSTER port without any problem, my son completed all the procedures and received the car.
It has been remodeled and registered locally and is currently running in Vancouver, Canada.
I appreciated your efficient and excellent work.
Thanks for buying through Cardeal Page
I've recently acquired a 1999 Mitsubishi Pajero Exceed form CardealPage. The experience in dealing with this company was just awesome!!! Transaction went really smooth! The person whom I was dealing with through the whole process was Osada. I should tell that I didn't even expect that kind of attention from his side! He was going with me through every step; numerous e-mails, calls, quick responds to all my questions. Even when I collected the vehicle he phoned me again to make sure that everything is good and I satisfied with the purchase. Communication was just impeccable! For all you guys who have plans on bringing a vehicle from Japan (especially first-time buyers) I would strongly recommend using this company. The guys perform really well! No doubt – they are one of the best exporters of quality JDM used cars!
From the time I ordered the vehicle till I pick it up – just a little over one month (which is really fast!!!). The company was truly honest about the condition of the vehicle: everything was described to their best knowledge (mechanically and cosmetically), lots of detailed pictures, etc….Upon collecting the Pajero the only thing which was wrong was a "dead" battery (which was expectable; boosted it up and no problems since then!) Drove it for a 1,000 km same day – zero issues! Love the vehicle! Would deal with them again!
Thanks, Osada!
My best wishes to all staff at Cardealpage!!!!
Dear Mr. Y P,
Thank you so much for your very kind words about our service and our vehicle. You just made my day!
We take pride in our customer care, and I'm thrilled that you were satisfied with our vehicle and service from start to finish.
We hope this will be only the start of a long and lasting business relationship.
Our warmest wishes to you and your family!
I am very satisfied with the experience of purchasing Mitsubishi Pajero Jr. from CardealPage.
The personnel was honest, friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the deal.
The vehicle was shipped right after the payment via the first available vessel and was in excellent condition just as I was informed.
I strongly recommend this company to anyone who is considering to purchase Japanese pre-owned vehicles.
Thanks for your great work, the personnel of cardealpage.com.
Thank you for using our service and sending us great photos and the feedback!! We know purchasing a car online from abroad is a huge shopping for our customers.
Thus, the constant and clear communication is important to us.
We wanted to remove all your concerns on the process of this purchase of your Pajero Jr.. Now we are happy to see the Pajero Jr. is in your hands safely.
We are sure the car will serve you well! Have a wonderful day.
I've bought 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from CardealPage and was really impressed by the condition of the vehicle and customer service from CardealPage.
I received vehicle in the perfect condition, everything as described on the website. All electrical equipment works well. I was really impressed by the undercarriage condition, not a single rust spot underneath, looks like this car never seen snow in Japan. Tires were like brand new as well. I drove it 1000 km from Vancouver to Calgary without any issues.
It took 1.5 months from the payment day to deliver vehicle to Canada which is fast, all shipping was arranged by CardealPage. My sales person was Yunus and he did a really good job. Yunus answered all my questions in 1-2 hours and sometimes just instantly. He provided me with updates so I know what a current state of the importing process is. I asked Yunus for specific Canadian documents and he prepared everything correctly and he sent me original documents by DHL. I got documents about a week before vessel arrived to Canada which is good.
Overall, transaction went smooth, communication was excellent, and I definitely will use CardealPage again and will recommend this company to everyone who wants to get quality Japanese vehicle.
Thank you so much for purchasing 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from us. It must have been a wonderful drive on the road through the Rocky Mountains in Canada!
We were also glad to see you in the Japan office when you visited Japan. It is our confidence that we will provide the same constant communication and assist in the next purchase also.
It was our pleasure to provide the service to you.

A young skateboarding talent has risen from the ranks. Rhythmic in style and unorthodox in approach, pro skater Rowan Zorilla sets the stage for awe. Watching Rowan skate is like witnessing a live jazz set—unbridled by convention, yet flawless in form. This February, Vans celebrates Rowan's creativity accordingly, honoring him with his first-ever signature pro model from Vans.
Introducing the Rowan Pro, the latest Vans signature skate shoe from global team rider Rowan Zorillla, supported by his accompanying apparel collection. Hailing Rowan's wildly advanced bag of tricks and legendary personal style – both contemporary and reminiscent of decades old – Vans has created a collection that reflects Rowan's influential aesthetic and uncanny ability to skate everything.
The Rowan Pro features two new innovations specific to the Vans Pro Skate line. SickStick, a proprietary gum rubber compound that's uniquely calibrated in the sole and foxing, delivers enhanced grip and maximum durability, making it the stickiest, grippiest gum sole in the brand's history. In addition, PopCush—a brand-new foam recipe that's meticulously tuned for impact protection—provides superior cushioning and increased energy return for less fatigue over the course of the day.
Duracap technology reinforces underlays in high-wear areas, adding unrivaled durability to prolong the life of the shoe.
His apparel collection includes an all-new black denim Drill Chore Coat and matching double-knee denim V96 Relaxed/RZ utility pant. With distinctive T-shirt graphics and a label pack designed in conjunction with talented artist Mike Lottie, the Rowan collection is a well-balanced combination of rugged functionality and accessible fashion.
Some skaters seem ahead of their time. Others, of an era long gone. Rowan Zorilla lands firmly in between, with a legendary loosey-goosey style and advanced trick selection that can only be identified as completely his own. His ability to skate any spot has earned him broad acclaim; in 2015, his standout part in Vans' first full-length video, Propeller, solidified his industry influence, and the following year, a nod from Baker owner and legendary skater Andrew Reynolds inducted him into the pro ranks.
With a feature in Bill Strobeck's 2018 release, Blessed, and his latest part in Baker 4, he shows no sign of slowing down. And much like Rowan himself, his namesake shoe and apparel line are a throwback to the future of Vans.
The Vans Rowan Pro and signature apparel collection will be available on February 15 at Vans retailers and Vans.com/rowan.

- Lack of support for blocks - I have a bit of an esoteric desire here: I want to use Python-like syntax to build a DSL for compiling into hardware description language, essentially using Python as a macro language on top of the DSL. I want to be able to create my own control structures (hardware_if:...., etc.). Python doesn't let me do this.
- Stdlib organization (or lack thereof) - Maybe this is inevitable, as the stdlib is made up of all sorts of things integrated from other packages, but it would be nice to have something closer to what the C# and Java people rave about in their respective languages.
- Inefficient tail calls (tail recursion) - Maybe not important to too many people since Python has such cool iteration support, but it would be nice to be able to write a tail-recursive function and know that it will be optimized into a loop.
- No "nonlocal" rebinding of functions - This will be fixed in Python 3, which is cool, but it's not there right now. Basically, you can read variables from enclosing scopes right now, but you can't "rebind them", that is, assign the name to a new object. All assignments are either in the local scope (default) or module scope (if you declare the name "global"). And honestly, the main reason I hate this is that it gives Paul Graham one more negative thing to say about Python relative to LISP.
- No dictionary comprehensions - And it's not gonna happen any time soon. List comprehensions are wonderful, and I'd like to build a dict in the same way. I know I can do dict((k,v) for k,v in seq). But I don't like the double-left-paren there. OK, so it's a nit. But wouldn't it be nicer just to say {k:v for k,v in seq}?
Well, there it is. 5 things I hate. Now I can get on to writing about the things I like.

An interview with Dr. Martin Shaw
An interview with Dr. Martin Shaw
Well, there's no 'should' embedded in the invitation. There's urgency, there's beauty, but there's no 'should'. For the abstractly curious I recommend giving it a wide birth.
It's not a training school for storytellers exactly, and it can't promise you a tribal initiation or the like either. Let's get clear on that.
I understand entirely the compulsion for those things, but our little school can't and won't provide it. I guess we're interested in the move from that hungry compulsion to healthy de-sire, and from desire to a position of service to something mightier than ourselves. That we get into the business of making something. That we move from a society of taking to a culture of giving. And I believe that myth has something to say about that.
The perfect position for myth is at a crossroads: its genius radiates out in many different directions. It's a watering hole for many strange animals: ecologists, mechanics, artists, pastors, philosophers, farmers, puppet makers, professors, wilderness folk, urban sophisticates, scientists, we've witnessed an astonishing array of people turn up.
What we are is a learning community. There is something infectious about oral myth telling; its transmission creates a gratitude that is most acutely expressed in the on going study of the scholar into some very particular strand of investigation: ancestral work, tending an orchard, standing firm and loving in the furnace of a dying loved one, reading hard, slow texts; for some it means changing their life. There is usually a degree of consequence involved.
As a friend of mine likes to say: what do you love? what will it cost? what are you prepared to pay? That's part of the ethics of a fairy tale. That's when you get off your big horse and bend your head to the whispers of the forest.
This is what I can say: you will most likely be brought into sharp accord with many things you loved when you were young and the world told you were not appropriate or important. And such energies will require you to re-inhabit them not as a child but in the shape of an adult – with eros and rigour in either hand. The old stories have just as much philosophical import, just as much sophistication, just as much straight up magic – probably more – than anything created since.
The future of the school does not depend on endless, exponential growth, rather a deepening into delight, pathos and fellowship. That's our only barometer.
And what do we see raised up again and again in the students? A form of gallantry actually, a fierce goodness in the face of the detritus of the world. Being kind is the rarest, and truest, and most valiant of all nutritions. It's sacred. And kind doesn't mean the same thing as nice.
Yes. We are a Provencal school of courtly love disguised as a monastery for elegant pirates
disguised as a humble Camelot resting in the orange orchards around Lorca's Alhambra, whilst sometimes showing up on the wilds of Dartmoor. The doors to many centuries and landscapes are open. We believe that it is the vocation of becoming an adult to not let go of the notion of goodness, and bravery, and compassion in the complexity of life. That you earn your name. Unfashionable I know.
To not let go of the reality that a grief well curated rides always and forever alongside the snorting pony of delight, that our children's souls are designed to happily gawp askance at adults who grow more tantalisingly wild as they age, people not folded in by societal trance-states and mesmeric, deadening fictions. Folks who know the story they're in.
We want to bless you and raise you up so you work harder than you ever knew you could to make beauty in the furnace of the world. And that involves not complacency but longing. Tasty, provocative, holy longing.
Every single being of substance I ever encountered rides a horse of longing. Rumi says you can spot such folks, and your capacity to spot one means you are one, maybe in disguise.
So the school encourages us – in the fraction of heartbeat that we are actually alive at all – to actually show up for The Wedding, in all our ordinary grandeur. It's a tremendously brave move to make. I know that. It means being alive to a certain kind of suffering at times. But maybe it's the only move to make in times like these.
We risk to care for a sophisticated hope that discreetly gleams in the absolute centre of each teardrop of our necessary sorrow. That our very stories could contain the knuckle-bones of wolves and the sweetness of creek water. That barley and aster-flowers may grow in the fragrant acres of our language. If that's grand, well, let it be grand. We don't go easy.
This is what we stand for.
Romanticism as activism.
Is that clear enough for you?
What do you love? What will it cost? What are you prepared to pay?
The wilderness vigil is something immeasurably ancient. A moment when the grinding of your ambitions and your griefs settle into the ground of something far deeper.

By default, I have CSRF protection for all my forms using a token.
However I noticed another web application that has a similar function to one of my forms. ANd they did not use CSRF token.
So I assumed they did not protect against CSRF attack for that form.
question 1) other than CSRF token, there should not be another way to protect against CSRF right?
I am assuming the answer is this is the only way. hence my main question is
question 2) when should you not use CSRF protection?
I know one possible instance which is when the POST form is targeted at external URLs.
I read it at django docs.
Are there other instances when you should not use CSRF protection or unnecessary?
a) other methods of CSRF protection include user re-authentication
b) you CAN get away without protecting against CSRF for form POSTBACKs when you do not require the user to be logged in. (see nbnh's answers and comments)

Softball remains atop the PCSC with sweep of CSUB
PROVO, Utah—The BYU softball team broke its season high in runs and hits in game two on Friday night, beating CSU Bakersfield 13-6 after a 4-1 defeat of the Roadrunners in game one at Gail Miller Field.
BYU (25-22, 14-4 Pacific Coast Softball Conference) had just six hits in its 4-1 game one victory, but came out on all cylinders to hit a season-high 15 hits in game two on its way to a 13-6 defeat of CSUB (14-31, 9-13 PCSC).
"I thought our offense was the key today, even in the first game where we scored four runs," head coach Gordon Eakin said. "We got timely hits and got the job done. We came out aggressive in the second game and took a big lead. I was extremely pleased with the resiliency of our offense and the performances on the mound from Katie Manuma and Caroline Umphlett."
Game 1
Alexandra Hudson Shamo had two RBI for BYU in game two.
BYU allowed one hit in each of the first three innings and picked up one hit of its own, but neither team managed to score. Pitcher Katie Manuma, who recorded the win, retired the Roadrunners in order in the top of the fourth.
Carly Duckworth singled down the left field line, and Gordy Bravo followed with a single to first base to launch the bottom of the fourth. After a BYU out, Shamo tripled to right field, sending Bravo and Duckworth home to pick up two runs for the Cougars, the first runs of the game. Madisen Robb reached second on a fielder's choice and was aggressive on the base paths, stealing third and forcing a throwing error from the CSU Bakersfield catcher to cross the plate and extend BYU's lead to 3-0.
In the top of the fifth with a runner on second after a sacrifice bunt, CSU Bakersfield scored on a double. The batter tried to make it a triple, but Robb tagged her out as she slid into third base to send it to the bottom of the fifth.
Bravo tripled to right center to lead off BYU's turn at bat in the sixth and Robb batted her in on a single to put the Cougars ahead 4-1. BYU held the Roadrunners in the top of the seventh, despite walking one batter. Katie Manuma picked up the win in relief of Howell after giving up just one hit in 4.2 innings pitched.
Game 2
Coco Taualii led the team in game two, going 3 for 4 with two runs scored and four RBI, including a three-run home run in the sixth. Lacey Millett, Bravo, Manuma and Robb each added two hits apiece in the game.
BYU hit all the way through its order in the first inning to score six runs on six hits. JC Clayton sparked the six-run barrage with a single up the middle to end her hitting draught on the day. Millett followed with a bunt single and then Bravo brought Clayton in on a sacrifice fly to center field for run number one. Shamo, Robb and Taualii each added RBI singles in the inning and BYU plated two more on a wild pitch and aggressive base running.
A 10-minute sun delay halted the start of the second before CSU Bakersfield was able to take back some runs. Tori Almond issued two walks to start the inning and after allowing the Roadrunners to score on a wild pitch, gave the next two batters a free pass to load the bases with one out. Duckworth entered the circle and on a 3-2 pitch knocked down a line drive to get the out at home and hold the score at 1-0. However, a loaded-bases walk brought in one more run and a double to left center cut the BYU lead to 6-4 heading into the bottom of the frame.
Bravo singled to third to start the bottom and scooted all the way home on a line-drive double from Manuma to push the score to 7-4 in favor of BYU. Robb added her second RBI-single of the game to put another Cougar run on the board.
Manuma took the mound to start the third and after striking out the first batter surrendered two straight singles up the middle. However, a pop up and a ground out held the score at 8-4.
BYU scored two more runs in the bottom of the third, highlighted by a long double from Bravo that landed on the warning track in right field to score a run. CSUB knocked in two more in the top of the fourth to cut the Cougar lead to 10-6. The bottom of the frame was BYU's first inning without scoring a run in the game.
Caroline Umphlett came in relief of Manuma in the top of the fourth and gave up no earned runs and four hits in four innings pitched to earn her second win of the season. Taualii provided some help on defense in the top of the sixth, recording every out for the Cougars on a shallow right-field pop fly and a 4-3 double play.
Taualii dealt another blow to the Roadrunners in the bottom of the sixth with a three-run bomb to extend BYU's lead to 13-6. A 1-2-3 top of the seventh sealed the victory for BYU.
BYU returns to Gail Miller Field Saturday to play another doubleheader against CSU Bakersfield with game one starting at 1 p.m. MDT. Both games will be broadcast live on BYUtv.

Hannover Messe 2016: New CodeMeter ASIC just right for PCBs
Wibu-Systems introduces the new CodeMeter ASIC, the most compact form factor of its CodeMeter product lineup, at this year's Hannover Messe, in hall 8, booth D05. Manufacturers can solder and embed this component directly onto their PCBs, and deliver software protection, licensing, and security features all at once. This ASIC is particularly recommended for small devices or embedded boards; medical and measuring devices are among the top areas of application that can benefit immediately from the space saved in their board designs.
CodeMeter ASIC supports both USB and SPI communications and is ready to operate in environments subject to extreme temperatures fluctuations between -40°C and +105°C. The component is delivered in a 5x5mm VQFN 32 package.
Oliver Winzenried, CEO and Founder of Wibu-Systems, explains: "The new CodeMeter ASIC is the ideal complement to our range of hardware protection repositories. The great versatility of our hardware lineup allows manufacturers to pick and choose the type that best suits their needs. Our security experts will be glad to share their advice with our visitors at the Hannover Messe."
