To repair after the flood at Wildlife Rescue Centre in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Quang Binh Province, Viet Nam
Approved amount
Replacement of a roof at the wildlife rescue station in Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park (Viet Nam, August 2011)
In October 2010, heavy rains for several days caused 2 big floods in central parts of Viet Nam.
In Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2003, lower sites were flooded which impacted on vegetation, roads and infrastructure and caused landslides. Breeding facilities, offices, veterinary medicine and some equipment were also flooded and broken down, affecting the wildlife rescue work at the Park.
This project aimed to support the following activities:
to evaluate the damage at the site;
to repair facilities and replace equipment at the wildlife rescue centre;
to increase wildlife rescue capacity for staff.
In August 2011, 3 field surveys were conducted to select sites to release wildlife to its natural environment. The selection made met the criteria for rescue activities in case of flooding. As a result, there was no harm caused to the rescue activities during the flooding season in October-November 2011.
The necessary equipment for the wildlife rescue activities were replaced (veterinary tools and office equipment). The wildlife rescue station was repaired, as well as the 2 cages for primates in the botanical garden.
Finally, in September 2011, 8 staff was trained in the methods for rescuing and caring for turtles, small carnivores and pangolins.
This request was financed thanks to a contribution from
the Government of Italy.

Q: f:ajax listener not called for h:selectBooleanCheckbox With code like this :
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{user.data['selected']}">
      <f:ajax event="click" listener="#{timetableBean.processUserEvents}"  />
      <f:attribute name="user" value="#{user}" />
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>

The method code is :
public void processUserEvents(AjaxBehaviorEvent e) {
  User user = (User) e.getComponent().getAttributes().get("user");
  ...
}

Clicking on the checkbox does trigger the ajax submit, but the listener method is not being called at all.
To top it off, there's no error messages, and the phases complete normally.
Im was trying mojarra 2.0.4-b09, and after facing this error, i changed to 2.1.2, but the same problem persists.
Is there anything i did wrong ?
Thank you.

UPDATE
The problem was placing the h:selectBooleanCheckbox inside the primefaces datalist (p:dataList). Placing it outside works fine. I wonder what the problem is. Will ask in the primefaces forum now.

A: Here lies the answer of a similar problem.
The problem was really putting the checkbox inside p:dataList without encapsulating it in a p:column.
After wrapping it with p:column, the listener will be called normally.
Hope it helps !

Estonian refinery benefits from Chinese rare earth metal price hike
Silmet, one of Europe's largest refineries, looks to higher profits as China slashes its output of rare earth metals. These products are crucial in the manufacture of semiconductors, and in turn, consumer electronics.
The Silmet factory was originally a Soviet refinery
In December 2010, the Chinese government announced 35 percent cuts in the export of its rare earth elements - a crucial manufacturing component in nearly all consumer electronics, and other devices like wind turbines, light bulbs, and even missles.
These cuts, which the government did as part of an effort to protect the environment and its resources, came after an even higher slash in rare earth exports earlier in 2010. China is the undisputed king of the rare earth industry controlling 97 percent of the global market.
Many gadget manufacturers are worried that a decreased supply will lead to higher prices on consumer goods, and will thus cut into their profit margins.
But China's move has been good news for the Silmet, an Estonian refinery, which is one of the largest producers of rare earth elements and rare metals in Europe. The company is now in an enviable position as it has the only fully functional rare earth separation plant outside of China.
A massive price hike
The company also refines aluminum niobium (left) into pure niobium
Because of the China's recent supply cut, the price for the cerium, for instance, has gone up twentyfold – from 2.50 euros ($3) a kilogram in 2010 to 50 euros ($70) a kilogram today.
Cerium ore is one of four rare earth elements that are rifined a Silment, an Estonian company located in the small town of Sillamäe, in the northeastern part of Estonia near the Russian border.
Other rare earths, including praseodymium and neodymium, are used in the making of iPods and hybrid electric vehicles. Cerium is used as part of the glass in nearly all LCD televisions, and car windsheilds.
"Your UV cut glass windshield which keeps you from getting sunburn while you drive has cerium added to it which cuts down on the UV which comes through the windshield," explained David O'Brock, Silmet's CEO, in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
Non-stop separation process
David O'Brock, the CEO of Silmet, says that his company would like to produce more, but can't get enough ore from Russia mines
To get to the pure elements, Silmet buys raw loparite ore, which is mined outside of the Russian town of Murmansk, which is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle (population: 300,000) and sits about 1500 kilometres due north of Tallinn.
Then, the ore is sent away for "cracking" at another facility near the Ural Mountains, after which the resulting carbonates are sent by rail to Estonia where the separation process can begin.
"We have stainless steel what we call 'cameras' and in there is the dissolved solution of rare earths, light rare earths," O'Brock said. "And each camera takes a little bit and a little bit and a little bit more each out of the mixture until you get a pure element for each of the elements."
The extraction units operate continously throughout the day and night because the units have to be in equilibrium all the time, which keeps the elements from mixing with each other.
In addition to rare earths, Silmet also refines two non-rare earth metals – niobium and tantalum.
O'Brock added that these metals, which are also crucial in semiconductor manufacture, have kept the company from going bankrupt each time when the rare earth production has fallen, and helped the refinery to survive the recent financial crisis.
Demand continues to skyrocket
Silmet employs 500 people to continously refine 3,000 metric tonnes of rare earth elements per year
Though the Estonian factory produces 3,000 metric tonnes of rare earth elements per year, or two percent of the global market, by global standards, Silmet is still a tiny company. For now, it only serves 15 long-term customers in the car, glass, ceramic and fuel catalyst industries.
New inquiries about the cooperation are coming from around the globe, but the refinery is forced to turn them down.
"Unfortunately for us, our bottleneck has always been raw material," says David O'Brock. "We get our raw material from Russia and today we are not able to get enough raw materials to process as to what the market needs."
If the mining partner will increase the production of the ore, then Silmet's board might seriously consider whether to expand the production in the coming years.
Meanwhile high-tech companies across the globe will still be on the roller coaster because the demand and the price for the rare earths aren't dropping anytime soon, which is why other new refineries are coming online in other parts of the world.
"Even if some Australian or US names, or other names start their production next year, it will take time until they reach a commercial scale of production," said Daniel Briesemann, a commodities industry analyst with Commerzbank, in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
He added that it's unlikely that this tight supply demand situation to ease over the next two, three or even four years.
"The market expects the supply deficit of almost 30,000 tonnes in 2014," Briesmann said.

The Reconographers
Intelligence And Reconnaissance in British Tank Operations on the Western Front 1916-18
Series : Wolverhampton Military Studies #26
Author : Colin Hardy
General - Pages : 144 | Images : 34 photos, 9 maps, 10 pencil sketches, 3 diags
Hardback - Date of Publication : December 2016 | Size : 234mm x 156mm | ISBN : 9781911096344 | Helion Book Code : HEL0698
This is the first book devoted to the subject of reconnaissance in the nascent Tank Corps in the Great War. It is a neglected field in spite of passing references to reconnaissance in a number of early books on the history of the Tank Corps. This is also the first attempt to provide a conceptual framework in which to consider intelligence and reconnaissance work and to see it in the broader context of military reconnaissance. Adding the term 'Reconography' to the military lexicon draws attention to a little-known monograph on the subject which has never entered the popular domain before now. The introduction of the tanks on the Western Front in 1916 launched a new form of armoured warfare. After their baptism on 15 September 1916, the tanks became dependent on a few reconnaissance officers to guide them into action. The importance of these officers was fully recognised within the Tank Corps itself, but less so outside. The reconnaissance officers came to form an elite group of talented men, a special caste, whose contribution to the nascent Tank Corps was far greater than their numbers might suggest. It is surprising, therefore, that the contribution made by these officers has hitherto been neglected in the historiography of British tank operations in the First World War. This book aims to appeal at a number of levels: it seeks to pull together the activities, skills and techniques of tank Intelligence and reconnaissance officers and assess their place and contribution to British tank operations in the Great War; it places tank reconnaissance work in the wider context of intelligence and reconnaissance activities prior to the wa and it also provides a case study of the tensions that inevitably occur when new wine is put into old bottles, or more prosaically, new technology into existing organisations. It has been necessary to create conceptual structures in which reconnaissance operations can be analysed; it attempts to breathe life into what some might regard as a dull technical subject by devoting space to key figures in Tank Corps' intelligence and reconnaissance activities. Fortunately, and perhaps as a consequence of their activities, they were some of the most colourful and interesting figures in the Tank Corps at that time. In awarding the author the WFA-Helion Holmes Prize, the judges concluded that 'his work reflects deep research, a high standard of writing and a notable originality'.
" … The literature on First World War tank warfare can hardly be described as sparse; yet this book crosses into an under-examined area and adds considerably to it. It is also of value to those interested in First World War battlefield intelligence. This is well written, illustrated, referenced and researched – showing adept use of sources and co-operation with other experts." Newsletter of the Society of the Friends of the National Army Museum
" … A useful introduction to Tank Corps reconnaissance and its reconnaissance officers…" Stand To!


A brief non-baby/non-craft related post... as I am sure you have all heard, google reader is going away (or has it already?? I am really not on top of this).
I confess, I actually have not been doing a lot of blog reading of late - in addion to having had a few other things going on like creating another person, I have just been finding it easier to share and connect on instagram (I'm @needleandspatula) and since I so often read on my phone, I find the blog format harder to keep up with there. I think I'm not the only one in this boat. But I really do find that sharing and creating community by blogging and reading/commenting on other blogs is a deeper way to connect at least for me, and I am working hard to do more of both posting and reading others' blogs.
I am sure you are all way ahead of me on this, but as you know, if you want to keep following my blog (and I hope you do!), you'll need to subscribe elsewhere if you are currently following in google reader. I have subscribe by rss and subscribe by email links in the sidebar and I am going to add a bloglovin button for good measure - for now you can click here to follow my blog with Bloglovin.
Can any of you give me advice on if there's anything else I need to do to make it easier to follow my blog in a new format?
Thanks everyone for your well wishes and nice comments on my last post! As I mentioned, I really want to get back to blogging, but I have been continuing to have the challenge of having too big a backlog of things that I want to share. So, I am going to just jump in, post whatever I feel like or in the order that seems to make sense, and try not to worry if there are things that just don't ever get blogged.
This particular post is one that I have been thinking about for a while. Most of the quilts that I have made have been baby quilts, and so until I had a baby, most of the quilts that I made were gifts (in fact, I realized that Esther's baby quilt is the only actual quilt that I have finished and kept other than my very first small sampler quilt). I know that many other quilters feel my compulsion to welcome new life with a soft, cuddly handmade creation. But I also know that for me, I just love the process of making quilts, and while I put a lot of thought and love for the new baby into them, I also never worried too much about if/how they were used after they were gifted. So it has been an unexpected joy as I have become a mother to see how loved those quilts are by those who receive them.
One lovely gift that we received before Esther was born was a joint present from a group of our friends back in DC - all of whom have small children that I had made quilts for. Before sending us the gift, they sent pictures of each of the children with their quilt, holding up signs saying that they love their quilts but since their moms don't quilt they wanted to buy us the crib on our registry. Honestly, seeing all the photos of the kiddos (some still babies, some older) with their quilts was as great a part of the gift as the crib itself! It was so nice to know the quilts are being used and loved.
Later, at one of our childbirth/infant care classes, the instructor asked everyone by way of introduction to share a favorite gift that they had received so far. I was amazed that at least half of the people said it was a quilt that a friend or family member had made for their baby - more than any purchased object, it was clear that these handmade gifts are cherished treasures. Now that Esther is here, I have been joined a playgroup and have been going to other moms' houses, and there is always a quilt laid down on the living room floor for the babies to play on (or brought to the park, or put down on the deck or the lawn) - and there is always a story of who made the quilt for them, with love. And as you can see from the photos here, Esther spends a lot of time playing on quilts at home too!
I just wanted to share these anecdotes as a kind of group thank you from new moms to all of you quilters out there - you may have realized how loved your gifts are, but in case like me, you didn't fully know, here it is.
So, on to the actual quilt in these photos! I had a very hard time deciding what quilt design/color scheme I wanted to make for Esther's quilt, and didn't even start it until the last month or two before she was born... finally I had to tell myself that I would surely make her more than one quilt and not to stress out too much about this being her official one and only "baby quilt" that I made her.
The design was inspired by several quilts I had seen with a square pattern like this one by Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter - I thought it would be fun to make it with rectangles, though. I also made it so half the white diamonds were wider and half were skinnier - I like the way it turned out, but I think I might actually like it better if they were either all the same width or the differences between the two types of diamonds were more striking. I realized I haven't taken any photos of the finished quilt that don't have a baby in them, but I figured you all wouldn't complain too much! Hopefully you can get a pretty good sense of the design even though you can't see the whole thing at once.
I foundation paper pieced the blocks with templates that I drew, so the sewing went pretty quickly (which was good, since I was really pregnant and pretty low energy by that point). I picked the color scheme thinking of springy colors and then as it came together I realized it was pretty eastery.... not totally what I intended but I am OK with it. I free motion quilted it with simple loops (it was really quick since its so small), and was actually finishing sewing the binding on in the hospital as we waited for my labor to really start! Lawson said that he knew the baby couldn't be born until I finished her quilt, so I guess its a good thing I brought it with me.
I also want to share a wonderful quilt that my friends in the do.good stitches love bee made for me, and another quilt/play mat that I made since she was born... but since this post is already way too long, I will save both of those for later posts.
I have been meaning to stop back in here and share the news of our baby Esther's birth pretty much since she was born in late March, but it has been so hard to tear myself away from snuggling her! She is a total cutie and we are loving her to pieces... she is already growing up way too fast. I'll keep this post short but plan to be back soon to share more baby-related crafts. Here's a quick selection of some favorite photos from her first two and a half months (sorry I couldn't limit myself to fewer, but hey, who doesn't like cute baby photos, right?).

I recently ordered blinds from you and installed them last night....They are wonderful !! Never have I had such an easy installation of blinds. I love the quality, fit and quick production and delivery. Would order from your company again and will be sure to recommend to friends.
I just wanted to say thank you for the blinds. They are perfect and the molding that you guys use us just beautiful! They were a great addition to our living room! Thank you! We will relay any business to you and will purchase from you again with our next home!
My Husband and I moved in to our 2002 home in September of '08 were missing blinds in the guest room.
My Husband and I moved in to our 2002 home in September of '08 were missing blinds in the guest room. I looked on several websites and found Blinds Chalet had the best prices.

I just wanted to say I looked at several blind companies on-line before I chose Blinds Chalet.
I just wanted to say I looked at several blind companies on-line before I chose Blinds Chalet. The low price was the primary reason for choosing your company. However, I just wanted to comment on my salesperson - Stacy. She was very polite, very knowledgeable, and made my experience with Blinds Chalet- pleasant. She not only followed up on my order, but helped correct a mistake during the process. Unlike other companies, I didn't mind calling with a question or problem because Stacy made it a pleasant experience. Because of her kindness, I would definitely recommend y'all to anyone. Thanks for the smooth transaction.
I had a fantastic experience using your company!

Request & Variance For CC&R Project Application
Report of Non-Compliance
The Rules & Regulations Manual for Property Improvements and Maintenance (PIM) is intended to assist homeowners in understanding the rules and regulations that govern the Fairway Village Homeowners Association, and to provide guidance on when an application for a project is required to be submitted for review by the CC&R Committee. It is important for owners and residents to become familiar with this document. The application and review process is instrumental in protecting and maintaining property values in a homeowners association such as Fairway Village, and owners share responsibility with members of the CC&R Committee for upholding and supporting the standards, rules and regulations. The goal of the CC&R Committee is to obtain voluntary compliance, and to assist Owners in expressing their personal taste and individuality within the context of the rules and regulations that apply to all Owners.
The conditions and requirements of this Manual apply to all residences in Fairway Village. However, individual condominium Owners do not submit project applications to the CC&R Committee as described below. Condo Owners should submit a Fairway View Condo Association CC&R Project Application. The Fairway View Condominium Association submits project applications for projects affecting more than one condominium or condo building.
Set forth in this Manual (PIM) are those procedures, rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors for the purpose of guiding the CC&R Committee and Owners through the application and review process.
This Manual establishes design standards for review of exterior remodeling, improvements and landscaping of all single-family properties within Fairway Village. It explains and supports the property restrictions that bind each Owner as stated in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Fairway Village ("the CC&Rs"), as those restrictions are periodically updated or amended by vote of the owners.
No amendment or change from previous editions of this Manual shall affect structures, improvements or landscaping approved prior to the adoption of this edition. This provision is called a "grandfather clause," and prevents an owner from having to remove or alter previously approved projects because of changes made within this updated document.
Please keep this Manual in a handy place and refer to it whenever you want to make changes to the exterior of your home.
Application shall mean the CC&R Project Application Form available from the Homeowners Association Office, as it may be changed or amended from time to time. (See Exhibit A, page 21.)
Association shall refer to the Fairway Village Homeowners Association ("FVHOA").
Board shall refer to the Board of Directors of FVHOA.
CC&Rs or 2015 CC&Rs shall refer to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions for Fairway Village (2015).
Committee shall refer to the Fairway Village CC&R Committee established and appointed by the Board.
Common Areas shall refer to those tracts of land and improvements that belong to the Association. The Common Areas are located throughout Fairway Village and are described on the various plats of Fairway Village as recorded with the Auditor of Clark County.
Fairway Village shall refer to real property in the plat of Fairway Village and recorded in Clark County, Washington, on Vol. H., p. 167 and the contiguous plats to which the CC&Rs are applicable.
Fairway View shall refer to the Fairway View Condominium Association, a sub-association of Fairway Village that is separately incorporated, with a separate Board of Directors. The Condo Association owns the buildings and limited common areas in Fairway View, and comes to the CC&R Committee when projects are undertaken by the association itself.
Ground cover shall refer to low-growing vegetation, flower beds, or bark, decorative gravel or rock.
Improvements shall refer to any exterior addition to or modification of real property, either structurally or in landscaping.
Manual shall refer to this Rules & Regulations Manual for Property Improvements and Maintenance (PIM) and all future amendments.
Owner shall refer to a Proprietary Member; any entity that owns property in Fairway Village.
Outdoor Living Areas include decks, patios, courtyards and terraces. See Section 3.05 for more information.
Property Line/Privacy Hedge shall refer to any plantings, including bushes, shrubs or trees, planted or maintained in a fence-like manner to define property boundaries or provide privacy.
Retaining Wall is a structure designed to retain soil to unnatural slopes, such as a wall for holding in place a mass of earth at the edge of a terrace. Retaining walls may not be constructed of railroad ties in Fairway Village.
"Rough" is the park-like area that is not part of the area of play on the golf course.
Rules and Regulations are the rules and regulations duly adopted by the Board to maintain the quality and livability of Fairway Village and to help preserve and protect property values. The rules and regulations apply to all residents. The rules and regulations apply to changes to residential property, clubhouse use, swimming pool use, and more, and are gathered in this document, other documents and various policies.
A Setback is a restriction on the proximity of any building or structure to property lines, other structures and features such as corners and streets. Setbacks are established by governmental entities for safety and prevention of fire spreading from one property to another, and for preservation of drivers' lines of sight at intersections. (See additional information near the beginning of Section 3, page 10.)
Street tree as defined by the City of Vancouver, is "a tree in which the trunk is wholly or partially located within the right-of-way. A 'street tree' may also be the portions of a private tree residing in the right-of-way. Pruning or removal of a street tree will require a permit from the City of Vancouver.
Unit refers to a residential unit, a house.
The CC&R Committee is comprised of volunteer homeowners. The Committee is established and appointed by the Board to assist in ensuring that the CC&Rs and the PIM are consistently and fairly applied to applications for changes to the exterior of Units, including landscaping.
Responsibilities.
The primary responsibility of the Committee shall be to review applications submitted by residents and determine whether applications are in compliance with the CC&Rs and the PIM, and are compatible with standards and aesthetics of the community. The Committee may also investigate reports of non-compliance.
Criteria for Review.
Each application shall be reviewed by the Committee based on the following general criteria:
Is the project in compliance with the CC&Rs and with this Manual? If not, a variance from the Board of Directors will be required.
Does the project involve installing or altering a structure?
Does the project involve replacing more than 50% of the landscaping that is visible from a street or Common Area?
Are the colors and materials selected harmonious with others in use elsewhere in the community?
Will the project create more problems than benefits, for neighbors or the community?
The Committee shall apply the design criteria in this document to preserve the quality in external appearance, design and compatibility with existing structures in Fairway Village.
The Committee does not assume responsibility for the structural integrity, safety features, mechanical operation or building code compliance of proposed improvements or structures. General land use requirements and building codes are established by the City of Vancouver and other governmental agencies. Any application presented to the Committee for review must comply with any and all such regulations.
The 2015 CC&Rs eliminated the requirement for prior review by the CC&R Committee for many maintenance and repair projects. The following are projects that do NOT require prior review; Owners do not need to submit an application for these projects. (Refer to Exhibit A.)
INTERIOR WORK that does not change the exterior of the house in any way (such as remodeling a room or adding tinted film to inside of windows).
SATELLITE DISH: Installing a satellite dish less than 1 meter (39-3/8") in diameter. It would be appreciated if the installer can place the dish in a discreet location, such as under the eaves, but it should be installed wherever it needs to be in order to provide the best reception.
WINDOWS: Replacing windows ("like for like") with no change in trim color or size.
HOUSE PAINTING: Repainting house or trim with no color change. Review is needed for color changes.
ROOF: Replacing an existing roof with one of similar color. Review is needed for color change.
EXISTING DECK: Replacing decking, as long as the new deck has the same "footprint" as the existing deck.
SIDING: Replacing siding due to dry rot or other failure, as long as the new siding is the same style and color.
STORM DOOR OR SECURITY DOOR: Installing a storm door or security door.
GARAGE DOOR: Replacing a garage door with one the same size and color.
LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE: Replacing dead or overgrown shrubs, annual flowers, or other landscaping changes affecting less than 50% of the Lot that is visible from the street or a common area. Removing aggressive or noxious plantings, as described in section 4.01 below, is not considered "landscaping changes." If in doubt about whether review is needed, contact the CC&R Committee.
MAINTENANCE PRUNING: Pruning of shrubs and trees to restore appropriate shape and size.
Project Application Forms (Exhibit A) are available in the coat room at the clubhouse, from the HOA office and on the "Residents Only" section of the website. Completed forms, with attachments such as plans, drawings, samples or other materials that may assist in the review, should be returned to the marked receptacle in the coat room at the Clubhouse. Review may take up to 10 days. Owners should therefore allow time for applications to be reviewed. Work may not commence until review is completed. If the project is found to be in compliance with the CC&Rs and PIM, a signed review constitutes approval for the project to proceed.
As a courtesy, neighbors who may be inconvenienced by the project, or those whose view may be impacted or changed, should be notified of the proposed project. Neighbors do not have the authority to approve or reject a project.
To complete the application for review:
Check the box for the type of work to be done. Include one copy of plans and specifications, if appropriate.
Write in name and phone number of contractor to be used, if any.
Describe the project and material(s) to be used in the space provided on the application.
For painting, review is required only if color is to be changed. Because it is difficult to gauge the final appearance based on a small paint chip, the preferred process is for the Owner to paint a 2' or 3' square swatch of color on the side of the house (and the trim above, if it is also to be repainted). Note on the application where the swatch is located so that committee members can find it easily. If you choose not to paint a swatch, please submit a color sample large enough to evaluate, painted on a board, cardboard or heavyweight paper, and submit it with the application.
Talk about your project with your neighbors as a courtesy. If a neighbor is concerned about the project, he or she should contact the CC&R Committee or fill out a Report of Non-Compliance.
Sign and return the application and any attachments to the marked receptacle in the coat room at the Clubhouse. If submitting a large color sample or other oversized sample, submit application and sample to the HOA office in the Clubhouse.
A member of the Committee will contact you and schedule an appointment for members of the CC&R Committee to visit you and discuss your proposed project. This may take up to 10 DAYS. DO NOT START WORK until the form has been signed by CC&R Committee members. Please post the yellow copy of the approved form where it is visible from the street. You will also receive a pink copy for your files.
Once approved, NO CHANGES may be made to plans without review by the CC&R Committee. If a change is needed, please submit a written change request to the CC&R Committee.
If project is not completed within 6 MONTHS after it has been reviewed, the Owner should inform the CC&R Committee and provide the reason(s) for the delay. An extension may be granted by the CC&R Committee if extenuating circumstances prevented the completion. Otherwise, another application must be submitted.
MAINTENANCE: To restore to a serviceable condition.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE: Maintenance carried out after failure detection, aimed at restoring an asset to its intended function.
2.01 — Committee Visitation.
Members of the Committee may need to visit the site and talk to the resident(s) to clearly understand the project and its impact. Depending on the scope of the project, Committee members may also visit during construction to ensure that the project conforms to the plan(s) submitted for review. Any modification to the plan(s) requires additional review before it is undertaken. At the discretion of the Committee, a final visit may be made upon the project's completion. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to inform the committee when a project is completed and ready for review (call the office).
2.02 — Variance.
Owners share responsibility with the CC&R Committee for knowing whether a proposed project complies with the CC&Rs and this Manual. If a project does not comply, it is the owner's responsibility to submit a Request for Variance for a CC&R Project Application (Exhibit B) to the Board of Directors. Documentation of the need for the variance, such as photos of damage to the residence from errant golf balls when requesting a golf ball screen over 12' high, is helpful in the Board's decision-making process.
2.03 — Appeal.
Any Owner has the right to appeal a decision rendered by the CC&R Committee to the Board of Directors. To file an appeal, an Owner must provide a written request for a hearing to the Board within 10 days of receiving the decision of the CC&R Committee.
2.04 — Reports of Non-Compliance.
Allegations of non-compliance with any of the procedures and guidelines set forth in this Manual may be reported by any resident, in writing. The form (Exhibit C) is available in the coat room at the Clubhouse and on the Residents Only section of the website. Allegations of non-compliance will normally be processed in the following manner:
Reports of Non-Compliance shall be reported in writing to the Association office in the clubhouse, e-mailed to office staff, or put into the CC&R box in the coat room at the clubhouse. The resident reporting the issue must fill out the form and date it. Signed forms are preferred, but an Owner who believes that being identified in a report of non-compliance could endanger him/her may make an anonymous report.
The report shall be investigated by a person or persons designated by the Board. Members of the CC&R Committee may be asked to participate in the investigation. Steps in the investigation shall include:
Verifying that an issue of non-compliance exists;
If an issue exists, discussing it with the resident and establishing a plan and timeline for correcting the non-compliance;
Sending a confirmation letter to the resident;
Verifying whether the issue has been corrected at the end of the established timeline.
If the issue persists beyond the established timeline, the matter will be referred to a Compliance Review Panel (CRP) as described in Policy 100-5, Enforcement, as that policy may be amended from time to time. Policy 100-5 describes the process, including Notice and an Opportunity to be Heard, that will be followed before a fine is levied or other action taken. The Fine Schedule is included in Policy 100-5, which can be found on the Residents Only section of the website, or in the office. If the Owner contacts the office with an explanation of any delays and a date by which the work can be completed, an extension may be granted by the CRP.
No exterior alteration or addition shall be made to any premises, including walls, fences, and buildings without prior review (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.3.).
It is the Owner's responsibility to hire a qualified contractor, check with the City of Vancouver regarding permits, setbacks and codes, and to ensure that contractors and workers clean up the site regularly.
Setbacks: All structures shall be located within the setback requirements as specified by the Planned Unit Development Approval for Fairway Village. Clark County setback requirements were used when Fairway Village was developed and remain in force. See illustration, next page.
Utility Easements: Blanket utility easements for installation and maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities are found on the outer six feet of the front and rear boundary lines of all Lots (excluding Fairway View Condominiums). Owners are reminded that utility easements are permanent, and that no structure, planting or other improvement may be placed on a utility easement that may damage or interfere with the installation or maintenance of utilities. Any structure or planting may be removed by employees of a public utility in order to access the utility structures for maintenance.
Permits & Inspections: The Owner/resident is responsible for obtaining and paying for any permits or inspections required by governmental entities.
It is the Owner's responsibility to contact the City Code Compliance Officer for more information. The Code Compliance Officer will visit your site at no cost if you ask.
Figure 1: Site Plan showing setbacks
3.01 — Driveways and Sidewalks.
Driveways and sidewalks shall be of exposed aggregate or concrete slab construction (broom finish preferred). Any other finish, material, artwork or ornamentation is subject to review. Homes with two-car garages may not widen the driveway to accommodate more than two cars. Homes with three-car garages may not widen the driveway to accommodate more than three cars. (Reference CC&Rs Sections 2.9.7 and 2.12.8)
No hedge, fence, temporary fence, wall or other structure shall be constructed, altered, or allowed to exist anywhere on a Lot without prior written review from the Committee. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.4.1.)
3.02 — Fences.
3.02(a) General Considerations: All fences shall be constructed to maintain the aesthetic quality of the community. All new fences and fence extensions require review pertaining to location, length and materials. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.4.2.)
The City of Vancouver Building Code limits fence heights. Presently, the height limit is six feet. The City of Vancouver may require the Owner to obtain a permit for a fence. It is the Owner's responsibility to find out whether a permit is needed.
Acceptable materials: Wood (natural or clear finish; other colors require review); vinyl; wrought iron or other decorative metal; aluminum (preferably powder coated or painted black or bronze); brick, stone, decorative preformed concrete block and small picket. All other materials require a variance.
3.02(b) Hot Tub Enclosures. Hot tub enclosures that are part of a deck or are attached to a house are not considered fences. These privacy enclosures should be of sufficient height to provide privacy for the Owner(s) of the hot tub, but may not exceed 6' in height, even if the property abuts the golf course. A hot tub enclosure may not abut the golf course.
3.02(c) Front Yard Fences. Short decorative fences (i.e., small picket, wrought iron or similar materials) that are used in front yards must be within the property boundaries and are not to exceed 36" in height. Openwork fences are preferred to solid fences for this use. Review of placement and height are required.
3.02(d) Outdoor Living Area Enclosures. Any wall, railing, or other enclosure for an Outdoor Living Area in front of a house requires review. Stone, brick or decorative metal of sufficient height for safety is preferred. Depending upon the topography of the lot, a retaining or supportive wall may be required, and will be considered during review.
3.02(e) Property line and privacy fences. Review of proposed property line and privacy line fences shall be done on a case-by-case basis. Review shall include consideration of topography regarding fence height. Maximum fence height shall comply with City Building Code. On corner lots, review of fence location and height shall include consideration of preserving drivers' lines of sight at intersections. See above for information on property line fences in front yards.
"Good neighbor fences" or board-on-board fences that are equally attractive from both sides are preferred for privacy and property line fences (see examples below). If a design other than good neighbor is selected, exposed posts and rails shall face the inside of the Owner's lot.
Figure 2: Examples of Good Neighbor Fences
3.02(f) Golf Course and Common Area Fences. Fences constructed abutting any portion of the golf course and/or Common Areas must not exceed 36" in height for side and rear yards. Wrought iron or other openwork fences abutting the golf course or common areas may be up to 48" in height. See Section 4.05 for information on hedges or similar plantings.
3.03 — Retaining Walls.
Retaining walls are used to create and maintain permanent changes in elevation, such as to separate trees and plantings at the boundaries of a lot from a grassy terrace below. Retaining walls may not be constructed of railroad ties. An application for a retaining wall shall be reviewed based upon the topography of the lot and the purpose of the proposed wall, which may include leveling the lot or retaining soil above lot level for trees. The height and construction of any retaining wall must be in keeping with the purpose of the wall. Maintenance of retaining walls is the responsibility of the Owner(s). Retaining walls are to be aesthetically incorporated into the landscaping of the lot. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.4.3.)
3.04 — Golf Ball Screens.
All improvements for the purpose of providing protection from golf balls must be reviewed by the Committee prior to construction. Maximum height should not exceed 12', unless a Variance is obtained from the Board. (Refer to Exhibit B.) Landscaping may be used for side and rear yard protection. All framing materials and screening are to be of design and finish that complements the architecture of the house. Maintenance, such as replacing the screen or supports, does not require review as long as the location, length and height of the screen is not changed, and acceptable materials are used (see below).
Acceptable materials: Metal piping, preferably 1-5/8" diameter black or white powder coated, with nylon mesh screening to match supports.
3.05 — Outdoor Living Areas.
Outdoor living areas, such as decks, patios, courtyards and terraces, shall have an appearance consistent with the exterior of the Unit, and must be reviewed prior to installation. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.3.) (See3.02(d), above, for information on enclosures for Outdoor Living Areas in front yards.) Outdoor living areas, and associated protective railings or walls, may require a permit from the City. Be aware that a blanket utility easement covers the front and rear six feet of all properties. (see page 10 for more information).
Committee review of new decks and extensions of existing decks is required. Any deck over 18" in height requires a railing, planters, screening or other safety protection, and may require a permit from the City of Vancouver. Decks that abut a fairway must be no higher than 18" over the rear five feet of the property to the property line. Decks that abut the golf course in the park-like areas that are not part of the golf play area ("rough") will be subject to case-by-case review based on topography. These decks are not subject to the 18" height restriction over the rear five feet of the property to the property line. See illustration below.
Figure 3: Outdoor Living Area abutting fairway
Posts and supports of elevated outdoor living areas must be screened from view with materials compatible with the residence, landscaping or the outdoor living area.
Replacing a deck or patio does not require review as long as the size and location of the deck or patio are not changed.
3.06 — Covers for Outdoor Living Areas.
New overhead covers for Outdoor Living Areas require prior Committee review. Replacing an overhead covering does not require prior review, as long as the color, material and size are not changed.
3.07 — Exterior Walls.
All changes in exterior walls from original construction, such as moving a wall out toward the property line to expand interior space, must be reviewed, and may require a permit from the City.
3.08 — Exterior Colors.
Repainting a house or portion of a house, or trim, in the existing color(s) does not require prior review. Review is needed if the color of any portion of the house is to be changed. Paint, semi-transparent or solid stains must be compatible with existing house and trim colors in Fairway Village.
Guidelines for selecting paint:
a) Colors should blend with others in the community. Neutral and subdued colors are preferred over bright colors.
b) Matte, satin, and semi-gloss finishes are acceptable.
c) Trim and garage door color should be compatible with the house color.
d) As noted under Section 2, Application Process, the preferred process is to paint a swatch on the side of your house for the committee to review the color choice(s). If you do not paint a swatch, submit a color sample large enough to be evaluated, such as a painted board or heavyweight paper.
3.09 — Service Areas.
3.09(a) The location and design of structures such as storage sheds, accessory buildings or enclosures are subject to prior review by the Committee, and screening may be required. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.3.) The City will require a permit for sheds over a certain size.
3.09(b) Carports and pole buildings are not allowed.
3.09(c) Garbage and other waste shall be kept in sanitary containers and are to be enclosed or screened from the view of neighbors and passersby. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.12.2.)
3.10 — Flagpoles and Antennas.
3.10(a) One freestanding metal flagpole, not to exceed 15' in height, is permitted for displaying the United States flag. Under the United States Flag Code, lighting must be provided if the American flag is to be left out overnight. Approval by the Committee is required as to location. The height restriction may be waived by the Board based on unique and reasonable circumstances. (Reference CC&Rs Section 2.12.4.) Review is not required for a flagpole mounted on the house itself.
3.10(b) A television or broadcast radio receiving or transmitting antenna, satellite dish or similar implement may be erected on any single-family Unit, only in such a way so as to minimize the impact on the Unit's appearance consistent with providing optimal reception. Please ask the installer to choose a location that is as discreet as possible. No satellite dish with a diameter greater than 1 meter (approximately 39") will be permitted.
3.10(c) No amateur radio antennas are permitted.
3.10(d) The Fairway View Condominium Association has separate rules and regulations pertaining to mounting antennas, including satellite dishes on their buildings, because the Association owns the buildings.
3.11 — Heat pumps, air conditioning (a/c), and solar heating systems.
Replacing an existing a/c unit in the same location does not require review. The following installations do require prior review.
3.11(a) Placement of new heat pumps and a/c units, with consideration regarding visual and noise screening for neighboring Units.
3.11(b) Window installed air conditioning units are not permitted, except in special circumstances, which will require review.
3.11(c) Solar energy panels are acceptable, with prior review, providing that:
(1) The panels meet all governmental and safety codes.
(2) roof-mounted panels or collectors are not visible above the roofline or are painted to match the roofing materials;
(3) ground-mounted panels are screened from view; and
(4) the owner agrees in writing to indemnify or reimburse the association or its members for any loss or damage incurred by the installation, maintenance or use of the panel(s).
3.12 — Exterior Lighting and Sound Devices.
Type and placement of exterior lighting devices, other than those provided on the basic structure, must be reviewed by the Committee. Security lighting must be positioned to illuminate the Owner's property only, and not neighbors' property or Common Areas. The reason for restricting illumination to the Owner's property is to eliminate glare and annoyance to neighbors, as well as to avoid hazard to passersby and the driving public. No exterior speakers or other sound devices, except those used for security purposes, shall be installed on any Unit unless positioned or controlled to avoid being a nuisance to neighbors.

Q: Coloring Perl output on windows command prompt This question is related to the question:
How do I color output text from Perl script on Windows?
But is a bit more specific. I have gotten cross-platform colorization working, to some extent:
use Term::ANSIColor;
use Win32::Console;

if (!(-f STDOUT)) {
    if ($^O =~ /win/) {
        our $FG_BLUE;
        our $FG_YELLOW;
        our $FG_RED;
        our $BG_GREEN;
        my $CONSOLE = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
        my $attr = $CONSOLE->Attr(); # Get current console colors
        $blue   = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_BLUE);return};
        $reset  = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($attr);return};
        $yellow = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_YELLOW);return};
        $red    = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_RED);return};
    } else {
        $blue   = sub {return color('bold blue')};
        $reset  = sub {return color('reset')};
        $yellow = sub {return color('yellow')};
        $red    = sub {return color('red')};
    }
}

but The Terminal colors do not change immediately when the functions are called from inside strings, thus:
    print "${\$blue->()} this is blue\n";
    print "${\$blue->()}This is... not blue${\$reset->()}\n";
    print "this is Blue ${\$blue->()}\n";
    print "this is reset${\$reset->()}\n";

I am wondering if it is possible to do things such as:
    my $print_help = <<PRINT_HELP;
    Usage:  $toolname [-Options] [-fields name1,[name2],...]
    ${\$red->()} toolname version VERSION ${\$reset->()}
    ${\$blue->()} options: ${\$reset->()}

    PRINT_HELP

    print $print_help;

prints with no colors. I have tried setting $| = 1 with no luck.
I do not have the option to install Win32::Console::ANSI on the system in question, so I am not able to make any solutions that use that module work.

A: This sort of hack might be along the lines of what you need.
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

my $alice = sub  { return 'ALICE'; };

my $bob = sub { return 'BOB'; };

my $test = <<'ENDTEST';
lineone
line2 ${\$alice->()} endline
line3 startline ${\$bob->()}
linefour
linefive
ENDTEST

# Add spaces around newline, split on horizontal whitespace
$test =~ s/\n/ \n /g;
my @testtokens = split /\h/, $test;

# Print '%s ' for each of the testtokens
# Print newlines, evaluate all testtokens beginning with '$', otherwise print
map { /\n/ ? print : printf '%s ', /^\$/ ? eval $_ : $_} @testtokens;

Takes the ENDTEST heredoc and prints this on the last line:
$ heretest.pl
lineone
line2 ALICE endline
line3 startline BOB
linefour
linefive

Maybe that will evaluate things in order.

A: You are calling red, reset, blue and reset before you even start printing. You could use a template. Here's a robust implementation:
use FindBin qw( $RealBin );
use lib "$RealBin/lib";

use My::Console qw( );

my $console = My::Console->new;

my $print_help = <<'__END_OF_HELP__';
Usage:  $toolname [-Options] [-fields name1,[name2],...]
{{red}}toolname version VERSION{{reset}}
{{blue}}options:{{reset}}

__END_OF_HELP__

$console->print_with_color($print_help);

lib/My/Console.pm:
package My::Console;

use strict;
use warnings;

my $console;
BEGIN {
   if (!-t STDOUT) {
      require My::Console::Dumb;
      $console = My::Console::Dumb::;
   }
   elsif ($^O eq 'Win32') {
      require My::Console::Win32;
      $console = My::Console::Win32::;
   }
   else {
      require My::Console::ANSI;
      $console = My::Console::ANSI::;
   }
}

sub new { $console }

1;

lib/My/Console/Base.pm:
package My::Console::Base;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Carp qw( croak );

my %allowed_cmds = map { $_ => 1 } qw( red blue reset );

sub red   { }
sub blue  { }
sub reset { }

sub print { print(STDOUT @_); }

sub print_with_color {
   my $self = shift;

   for (@_) {
      /\G ( (?: [^{] | \{(?!\{) )+ ) /xgc
         and $self->print($1);

      /\G \z /xgc
         and next;

      /\G \{\{ /xgc;

      /\G ( (?: [^}] | \}(?!\}) )* ) \}\} /xgc
         or croak("Bad template");

      my $cmd = $1;
      if ($cmd eq "") {
         # An escape mechanism. Use "{{}}" to output "{{".
         $self->print("{{");
         redo;
      }

      $allowed_cmds{$cmd}
         or croak("Unrecognized command \"$cmd\"");

      $self->$cmd();
      redo;
   }
}

1;

lib/My/Console/Win32.pm:
package My::Console::Win32;

use strict;
use warnings;

use My::Console::Base qw( );
use Win32::Console;

our @ISA = My::Console::Base::;

my $CONSOLE = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
my $initial_console_attr = $CONSOLE->Attr();

sub red   { STDOUT->flush; $CONSOLE->Attr($FG_RED); }
sub blue  { STDOUT->flush; $CONSOLE->Attr($FG_BLUE); }
sub reset { STDOUT->flush; $CONSOLE->Attr($initial_console_attr); }

1;

lib/My/Console/ANSI.pm:
package My::Console::ANSI;

use strict;
use warnings;

use My::Console::Base qw( );
use Term::ANSIColor   qw( );

our @ISA = My::Console::Base::;

sub red   { print(Term::ANSIColor::red()); }
sub blue  { print(Term::ANSIColor::blue()); }
sub reset { print(Term::ANSIColor::reset()); }

1;

lib/My/Console/Dumb.pm:
package My::Console::Dumb;

use strict;
use warnings;

use My::Console::Base qw( );

our @ISA = My::Console::Base::;

1;

A: my console does not support colors but I can see ESCAPE codes which on console which supports colors should work. I do wonder if it works for you?
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Term::ANSIColor;
use Win32::Console;

if (!(-f STDOUT)) {
    if ($^O =~ /win/) {
        our $FG_BLUE;
        our $FG_YELLOW;
        our $FG_RED;
        our $BG_GREEN;
        my $CONSOLE = Win32::Console->new(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
        my $attr = $CONSOLE->Attr(); # Get current console colors
        $blue   = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_BLUE);return};
        $reset  = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($attr);return};
        $yellow = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_YELLOW);return};
        $red    = sub {$CONSOLE->Attr($FG_RED);return};
    } else {
        $blue   = sub {return color('bold blue')};
        $reset  = sub {return color('reset')};
        $yellow = sub {return color('yellow')};
        $red    = sub {return color('red')};
    }
}

help();

sub help {
    print
"
    Usage:  $toolname [-Options] [-fields name1,[name2],...]
    ${\$red->()} toolname version VERSION ${\$reset->()}
    ${\$blue->()} options: ${\$reset->()}

";
}

Question: why do not use POD for this purpose?


The Test Technology Technical Council is a volunteer professional organization sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. TTTC has put this page together to give you some basic information about TTTC to help you determine if you should join.
Membership in the Test Technical is available at no charge to all individuals interested at the professional level in the technology of semiconductor test. Members find it highly valuable to contribute their time and expertise to the continued advancement of this very exciting field. To this end, TTTC sponsors or co-sponsors a large number of conferences, symposia, and workshops.
These TTTC-sponsored events also provide opportunities to gather groups of individuals interested in specific topics in small "fringe meetings", that may launch development of new standards activities or perhaps additional workshops focused on new technologies or technical challenges. Standards groups frequently consist of a dozen or so highly skilled technical individuals who would have relatively little chance to gather in a collegial environment without the penumbra cast by the larger symposium or conference.
TTTC members have developed lasting friendships, collaborations, and associations through these TTTC-sponsored events, and have gained opportunities to grow and develop their own expertise, and to guide and mentor that of younger colleagues, by participating in these various events.
The TTTC Web Site offers samples of the TTTC Newsletter, information about technical activities, conferences, workshops and standards, and gives links to the Web pages of a number of TTTC-sponsored technical meetings.

Fight to the last bullet
A short story of a group of military involved in the fighting in the Donbass, could not fail to arouse a sense of pride in Luhansk simple soldier. Informing me about the so-called anti-terrorist operation, unleashed by official kyiv in 2014, narrators shared that in the battle of krasniy yar distinguished their fallen commander ivan pivovarov. Covering fire the scouts, he was killed by enemy shrapnel. The cost of his own life he managed to save many soldiers, while taking the fight. – he fell, i thought he was beautifully grouped and jumped, says the fighter with the callsign "Squid".
The apc continued to go. I look escorted, i see it lying on its side with a bloodied face and not moving. He closed everyone who was sitting behind him. Many different exploits made soldiers of the Luhansk region in 2014-2015: release towns khriaschuvate and novosvitlivka, the defeat of ukrainian troops in lutuhyne, together with the troops of the DNI debaltseve operation and more. But one of those exploits is of great importance in the battle for Lugansk. When the nazis used the moment of surprise, without a declaration of war invaded our country, they dreamed of easy victory.
But ukrainian invaders did not know that the courage, the bravery and courage of our soldiers not to take! and what he did in battle on 4 july 2014 the fighters separate company intelligence in the commandant's regiment under the leadership of ivan pivovarov, shook each resident krasny yar and the capital of the republic. It was the supreme test of loyalty to the motherland. – after the defeat of ukrainian troops near metalist, they began to look for other places to break through to Lugansk. According to our intelligence in the area of krasny yar was a large group of the kyiv security forces, which had dug in, preparing to attack. It was decided to knock them out, – said the deputy commander of the separate company intelligence andrew konyahin. Command worked out the operation of knocking out a group of invaders from their positions.
The group of ivan pivovarov, consisting of 12 people was given one task – to take the fire itself, distracting the enemy troops from two tanks, leading continuous fire on the Kiev security forces, entrenched in our land. – we've outfitted police with armored personnel carriers without the gun. We used it as armor, – says andrey konyahin. – set the gun at him. More precisely, its fake.
Purely for intimidation. From afar the conventional tube really like the gun. Twelve men with guns would fit on one apc without ammunition. The idea for the group was simple – insolently to enter the ukrainian position. Thus, we wanted to catch the occupiers by surprise.
The right and left of enemies actively firing two captured tanks – one was captured at the metalist, and the second a gift from the fraternal people's republic of Donetsk. – the first tank in our unit appeared when captured hope savchenko, – said andrey konyahin. Soldiers came almost close to the ukrainian positions and started shooting battle. However, all cannot be taken into account. At the height of the right was a ukrainian tank. With one shot he knocked out a btr with our kids. – ahead was a platoon commander ivan pivovarov, – said the fighter with a call sign of a squid.
– he died immediately. Splinter entered the groin and came out through the back of his head. The size of the fragment was approximately pounds. After this shot, the unit lost its commander, four people received injuries of varying severity. However, the fight is not stopped. – we continued to fight to the last bullet, – said andrey konyahin.
– began to pull "Three hundred". The rest covered. I had 8 shops and 30 rounds. On returning to base i got five rounds. Ukrainian troops against a dozen people have used tanks, svd, sniper rifles, mortars, machine guns. – the whole field was burning.
We worked very hard, and ammunition came to an end, – remembers andrey. But his task is accomplished. The fight was tied. Part of the ukrainian troops was broken.
And we gave the tanks to take their "Claws". Only in this battle, the ukrainian forces lost 160 men killed by small arms, were destroyed two enemy tanks. – when ukrainian troops began to retreat in the direction of the village of happiness, then one of our tanks jammed gun. Just could not shoot after him. In the end, eating on the field, he crushed them caterpillar – shared andrei konyahin. In turn, the "Squid" made it clear that one of our tanks died. The second came to him and hooked him to the rope and taken away from the battlefield. – even the apc was able to save, said "Squid".
The driver pulled him into the bushes and continued to pull on. Frankly, we thought he died. Then i look, and he got out of the apcs and pulled himself wounded our gunner. "Squid" together with one of the fighters lay under the apricot and shot at enemy invaders. An attempt was made to pick up the commander on the battlefield, but it was not successful. – then we found that he was dead.
At this time, we covered specifically. Mortars whistle and it is not clear where to jump, where to go, where to go, where to go, – says nikolay "Squid". – wings on all sides – front, side. He had only to raise his head as close torn mine. The soldiers say that after this fight to watch war movies just not possible.
There and share the reality that actually exists. As they stress, the terror and worry and the enemy does not want. – our group already started to retreat along with the wounded. I see that riding a tank. Thought that the ukrainian and now begin to push.
I started to move backwards. Thought it through a fence to jump, – remembers "Squid". I see a familiar head sticking out of the hatch. And here it is a relief – thank god. After this fight one of the ukrainian prisoners of war testimony, called a separate company intelligence under commandant regiment of Russian special forces. – this Russian special forces stands in front of you.
We are all from the Luhansk region, said andriy konyahin. – someone who served in the airborne, some do not serve, is a marine. The operation involved mainly paratroopers. The next day, the soldiers helped the commander of the seventh checkpoint. He gave them a side car, a couple of fighters.
Thanks to this we managed to pick up a fallen commander ivan pivovarov, put him aboard and quickly left. – we would like to thank the person who for some reason was in the cottages – say soldiers. We pull the wounded, there is an attack, unleashed a real battle. And there goes a blue "Four". At first i thought that our ride.
Stopped, and a man there. It looks that the man was almost unconscious, covered in blood and says, "Get, take". He drove us up to the seventh post where the wounded were waiting for the ambulance. At the same time, what division were knocked from krasny yar, the men find it difficult to answer. – they just came up and began to strengthen. For us they were all the same.
However, in 2014, the regular ukrainian army is mostly not occurred. She stood on the second line, – said the participants of the battle. – was punitive battalions, motivated by greed and blood. After the battle, the army of the republic has received numerous trophies – the soldiers of the seventh checkpoint acquired atgm. Also, the militia get hold of agsy, mortars of various calibers and zil-131, fully loaded with ammunition. – also in zile was the message ukrainian soldier, printed on a4 paper.
Text something like this: "I'm oksana, live in France. We have with Ukraine is now the European values and so forth. " a kind of a propaganda piece, – said andrey konyahin. – that's what, apparently, they are fighting for European values is insincere. What it is necessary to have the strength of will, a passionate desire to win, to accomplish such a feat. It was an opportunity to leave the battlefield immediately or not to run the task at all.
But twelve fighters separate company intelligence in the commandant's regiment under the leadership of ivan pivovarov become formidable, unstoppable weapon to their death in the name of life of future generations to bring the victory!.

Online Sales Continue to Increase – The Middle East Embraces E-tail
We are all familiar now with news that sales through UK high street stores are falling whereas online sales continue to grow year-on-year. The same is being seen in the Middle East too!
Online sales in the UK jumped 16% last month according to the latest IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index, with sales totalling £6 billion during the period which is the equivalent to £118 per person.
Although e-tail trading remains resilient, the dampened consumer environment was however reflected by steep declines in all product categories apart from travel when compared to December 2011. Sales of clothing, footwear and accessories were down by 38% and electricals falling 41%.
Chris Webster, Head of Retail Consulting and Technology at Capgemini stated that "The steady march of customers moving from the high street to online channels continues and if anything, accelerates as savvy shoppers look to make their wages stretch further."
Figures produced by the British Retail Consortium earlier this month showed that the high street experienced its second worst January for sales since 1995, revealing the difficulties currently facing the industry. This could also be due to an increase in the range of items for sale online.
Now, the Middle East isn't renowned for having many big names in the world of online retail but customers there spend around $1.1 billion through the internet and, by 2016, it is expected to double to $2.2 billion, according to research by Euromonitor.
That means it is growing at one of the fastest rates in the world.
"Online retailing is still very niche in the Middle East," says Sana Toukan, research manager at Euromonitor International "However, it's growing exponentially in places like the UAE and Saudi Arabia."
In those countries locals are becoming more comfortable with using credit cards to pay for products over the internet and it's not only the wealthy parts of the region that are seeing a rise in shopping through the web.
In the last two years, sales in Egypt have surged more than 150%. In Iran they've climbed more than 80%.
As impressive as those numbers are, they may even prove to be on the conservative side according to Sukar.com.
Sukar.com started in April 2010 and has rapidly grown across the Arabian Peninsula. It now serves nine countries and, according to Sukar's Chief Executive, Muhammad Chbib, Sukar.com is growing between 25-30% per month!
"Half a year ago our rate of repeat buyers was around 45%," Mr Chbib says. "These were our regulars, if you will. Now our rate is closer to 65%."
Where there could be a discrepancy is that Euromonitor's figures only include physical goods sold through the internet – items like books, DVDs and clothes. They do not include things like banking, booking holidays or the rapid growth of so-called 'group buying' websites.
It all means that expecting online retailing in the Middle East to merely double could be very short of the truth.
