The Belarusian government's crackdown on peaceful protests in early spring failed to markedly affect its contacts with the West.
In June-July, the intensity of Belarus's diplomatic dialogue with Europe was probably at its highest point in the last several years. However, Western leaders are still in no hurry to negotiate directly with President Lukashenka.
The authorities took advantage of the high-level meetings of the CEI and the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Minsk to promote their vision of Belarus as a responsible international player and regional mediator. It remains to be seen whether this strategy will discourage the West from focusing on issues of democracy.
Belarusian diplomats have been actively exploiting the country's rotating presidency in certain multilateral organisations, as well as Minsk's potential status as a venue for international events, to boost Belarus's image abroad and revamp bilateral ties.
Belarus has been doing its best to get the most out of its presidency in the Central European Initiative in 2017. This attitude stands in a stark contrast to its earlier apathy towards the activities of this loosely structured discussion club.
On 8 June, Minsk hosted a high-level meeting entitled 'Promoting Connectivity in the CEI Region: Bridging the Gap between Europe and Asia'. The CEI participant countries, along with China and EAEU member states, focused on transport and logistics in correlation with the Silk Road initiative.
On 22 June, senior diplomats from the CEI countries gathered in Minsk for their annual meeting. Only six countries out of eighteen were represented by their foreign ministers. The final communiqué dealt mostly with the European aspirations of certain Western Balkan states and some Eastern Partnership countries. Alexander Lukashenka, who did not miss the opportunity to meet with top foreign diplomats, underscored the importance of 'integration of integrations', his pet idea.
On 5-9 July, the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly held its annual session in Minsk. The Belarusian authorities took this opportunity to interpret the choice of Minsk as a confirmation of Belarus's status as a 'pole of stability' in the region. They also used it to promote Lukashenka's idea of a 'Helsinki-2 process'.
Belarusian diplomats managed to circumvent any reference to the human rights situation in Belarus in the final declaration of the session. However, four of six Belarusian MPs voted in favour of the Minsk Declaration, which also condemned Russia's aggression towards Ukraine. The Belarusian foreign ministry did not fail to present this staged voting as proof of pluralism in the Belarusian parliament.
The Belarusian authorities are seeking to diminish the country's economic dependence on Russia by boosting Belarus's trade with the so called 'Distant Arc' countries.
On 6-7 June, Minsk hosted a new forum called 'Belarus and Africa: New Frontiers' with participation of over seventy delegates from about twenty African countries. So far, Africa remains the least cultivated market for Belarusian exporters and manufacturers.
Lukashenka, speaking as an observer at the Astana summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation on 9 June, sought to persuade members of the organisation to strengthen the economic dimension of its activities, claiming that this would eventually help combat terrorism.
On 29 June, Lukashenka received his Vietnamese counterpart Tran Dai Quang in Minsk. Belarus and Vietnam will seek to increase their turnover fourfold, from $121m in 2016 to half a billion in a few years' time. Alongside more traditional Belarusian exports to developing countries, several innovative Belarusian high-tech companies are seeking to localise the assembly of their products in Vietnam.
On 26-28 June, Georges Rebelo Pinto Chicoti, the Angolan minister for external relations, visited Belarus. The two countries agreed to establish a joint trade commission and explore the viability of setting up knock-down assembly of Belarusian tractors in Angola.
In June and July, Belarus also held political and economic consultations on the deputy foreign minister level with Brazil, Cambodia, Cuba, India, Laos, and Vietnam.
Alexander Lukashenka recently ordered his diplomats to 'literally sink [their] teeth into the European market'. Indeed, economic issues prevailed on the agenda of the foreign ministry's senior officials as they met with their EU counterparts.
On 13-14 June, foreign minister Vladimir Makei visited Madrid. Belarus and Spain agreed to establish a joint commission on economic and industrial cooperation. The commission will first meet this autumn in Minsk.
From Madrid, Belarus's top diplomat went to Prague on 15-16 June, where he held talks with his Czech counterpart Lubomír Zaorálek and met with Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka.
The turnover between the two countries has been steadily falling since 2014. Speaking to media after the first ever official visit of a Belarusian foreign minister to Czechia, Makei expressed his hope that their 'theoretical agreement will turn into concrete projects' in bilateral relations.
On 19 June, Makei attended the annual Eastern Partnership ministerial meeting in Luxembourg, where he met with several top European and EU-level diplomats. There, he derided Lithuania's attempts to involve multilateral institutions in its bilateral problems with Belarus regarding the construction of the Astraviec NPP near their joint border.
On 21-22 June, the foreign ministers of Hungary and Slovakia, Peter Szijjarto and Miroslav Lajcak, visited Minsk. Both diplomats combined their visits with their participation in the annual meeting of the CEI foreign ministers.
Makei called Szijjarto and Lajcak his friends. Indeed, Budapest and Bratislava have maintained constant dialogue with Minsk ever since the normalisation of relations with the EU. Both countries have also been important economic partners for Belarus. However, although the Belarusian government has managed to reverse the short-lived decrease in its trade with Hungary, the turnover with Slovakia has remained in a steady free-fall since 2012 – down by 40%.
On 5 July, Lukashenka received Austrian foreign minister Sebastian Kurz, who visited Minsk as Chair of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Lukashenka and Kurz also discussed the bilateral agenda. Austria, which has important economic interests in Belarus, is often seen as one of the regime's strongest advocates in Europe.
On 18-20 July, Latvian foreign minister Edgars Rinkevics paid a working visit to Belarus. The two countries have maintained an annual exchange of foreign minister visits since 2013; they seek to expand ties in all areas of cooperation. Recently, Minsk and Riga secured the right to host the Ice Hockey World Championship jointly in 2021.
In recent weeks, Belarus also held political and economic consultations on the deputy foreign minister level with Austria, Germany, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Minsk hosted business delegations from Germany and Switzerland. On 6 July, President Lukashenka received a delegation of the United States Congress.
Belarusian diplomats have managed to restore the dynamics and climate of the country's ties with Europe to the level they enjoyed prior to the Belarusian authorities' recent crackdown on dissent. However, the full normalisation of relations with the West will require more than simply restraining from persecuting the opposition or promoting Belarus as a 'donor of security'. President Lukashenka's legitimacy in European capitals should be the foundation of the next stage in relations.
CET releases analysis of the sector of Belarusian human rights organisations. Arseni Sivitsky dissects reasons for Belarus' heavy rearmament with Russian help. Grigory Ioffe analyzes Svetlana Aleksievich's public speaking. Economist Irina Tochitskaya: Belarus falls in a slow growth trap. Belarus in Focus: Minsk steps back to international and public pressure over the White Legion case.
Natalia Ryabova sums up key trends for Belarusian independent think tanks. Liberal Club presents a study on how to stimulate the development of philanthropy and CSR in Belarus. Economist Dmitri Kruk believes that Belarus is ten years behind without reforms.
Comfortable Trap With a View to Growth – The orientation to the Russian market costs much for the Belarusian economy and the population. Over the past 18 years, the share of Belarusian producers in world exports has been steadily declining. Irina Tochitskaya, IPM Research Center, states that the country is now trapped in 'slow growth'. Belarus should decide: to get out of it or to put up with the role of an outsider.
Minsk Steps Back to International And Public Pressure Over White Legion Case – Belarus in Focus experts consider that in the White Legion case is the Belarusian authorities' demonstration of greater adaptability and reduction of the repression-liberalization cycle in the domestic policy in order to retain positive trend in relations with the EU. Nevertheless, the White Legion case has not been closed yet.
Think Tanks' Life Will Not Become Easier in 2017 – Natalia Ryabova, SYMPA/BIPART director highlights the key trends emerged in 2016 for the Belarusian independent think tanks: cooperation with state institutions and the media as well as the specialization. In the short term, the financial conditions of most think tanks may deteriorate due to a reduction in donor funding, from which they remain highly dependent.
How to Stimulate the Development of Philanthropy and CSR in Belarus. Business View – The Liberal Club presents a study based on a survey of 12 Belarusian business companies. One of the key findings is that for the last 5 years the practice of philanthropy/CSR in Belarus has become broader and more systematic. At the same time, the Belarusian stakeholders still do not have a single approach to the key definitions of sponsorship and CSR.
Belarus and the Central European Initiative: Reading Beyond the Headlines – Yauheni Preiherman analyzes results of the recent foreign ministers' meeting of the Central European Initiative in Minsk Belarus actively promoted itself as neutral ground for international conflict resolution negotiations. Such a neutrality-oriented identity helps the country hedge against the possibility of being dragged into political and military confrontation against its will.
Belarusian Human Rights Defenders' View On Human Rights Activity And Questions Of Cooperation Between Belarusian Human Rights Organizations – This is a new research of the Center for European Transformation (CET) on Belarusian human rights organizations sector. One of the findings is that despite the general adverse environment for CSOs, human rights organizations and initiatives keep being rather active and their number continues to increase: from 17 organizations in 2010 to 25 in 2013.
Belarus Takes the Last Place On Number of NGOs in the Eastern Partnership – ThinkTanks.by overviews a new CET study on the Belarus' civil society. In comparison with other EaP countries, Belarus has the least number of NGOs: around 3,000 NGOs in total, i.е. 32 organizations per 100 thousand population. For example, in Armenia, there are 4,000 NGOs, while its population is almost three times less than in Belarus.
Why Belarus Heavily Rearmed With Russian Help? – Minsk has decided to engage in the rearmament of the Belarusian army, including the purchase of fighters and new missile systems. According to Arseni Sivitsky, Belarus is intensifying the process of upgrading its armed forces, Belarus strive to maintain a monopoly on military sovereignty and prevent the emergence of Russian military bases on its territory.
Svetlana Alexievich's Third Try – Grigory Ioffe overviews a speech of Svetlana Alexievich, the Nobel Prize laureate in literature, that she gave in Brussels, at the European People's Party Group's hearing. Unlike her two previous attempts at public speaking in recent months, this one was not scandalous. However, the author believes that Alexievich appears too lonely and too muddled in her rhetoric to become a consolidating figure.
Moody's expects Belarus' real GDP to contract for a third consecutive year in 2017, although at a much reduced pace thanks to the renewed output and exports of refined oil products and the economic recovery in Russia, which is Belarus' main trading partner.
Macroeconomic Situation: Locked In Recession. Dmitry Kruk, for Belarusian Yearbook, reviews the Belarusian economy in 2016. Namely, the last year was the second consecutive year of economic recession. Non-competitiveness of Belarusian producers was the main reason for the decline. The economic authorities refrained from any extensive institutional changes.
Average wage of $500 is real by 2018. According to Alexander Chubrik, IPM Research Center, Belarus expects slow economic growth because of the Russian economy. After the fall in 2015, in 2016, both Russia and Belarus have started to increase their GDP. In 2018, Belarus will increase oil imports from Russia, Belarus' GDP in dollars will increase, and salary will reach $500.
Belarus suspends talks with the IMF about a future loan program. The reason is that the International Monetary Fund, IMF and the government of Belarus have disagreements over the reform of the public sector. According to the Finance Minister of Belarus, future plans may return because the currency debt shows steady growth.
Belarusians understand that reforms are needed, but they do not want to lose their salaries. Economist Katerina Bornukova in a popular format tells what holds back officials and whether the Belarusians themselves are ready for changes.
It is likely that all 10 years – from 2010 to 2020 – will be lost. Dmitri Kruk, BEROC, states that the main trend in 2016 has become an addiction to the crisis and recession. In the absence of economic reforms, many of the sounding promises will lead to nothing.
Eurobonds: debt hole or the foundation of development? Belarus has entered the international capital market to obtain a loan in the form of Eurobonds. Economist Anton Boltochko states the importance of reforms that would contribute to the elimination of the causes of the budget deficit. If not, additional funds will be needed to return the earlier loans.

Hotel Haludovo
Aerial view of abandoned hotel Haludovo. One particular investor was Bob Guccione, a prominent businessman, owner of Penthouse Magazine and of the soon to be Penthouse Adriatic Club at the Haludovo Palace Hotel. Guccione favored the business climate in Yugoslavia and therefore invested nearly $50 million in developing a new project there. Once completed, the Haludovo Hotel was a center for luxury and relaxation. It was beautifully built using glass and concrete on the island of Krk in Croatia that attracted foreigners and locals alike. Guccione had poured all his resources into this hotel, and affluent businessmen from around the world would travel from far and wide to be a part of it. The architect for the project was Croatian Boris Magaš, an architect whose creations still stand in many places around Croatia. Magaš was a follower of the Brutalist Style of architecture that was used in the construction of the Penthouse Adriatic Club. The hotel was opened on June 15th, 1972. Its guests were now free to choose from the plethora of activities such as bowling or simply relaxing by the pool in the hotel. And so Bob Guccione fulfilled his dream, for tens of kilos of luxury food such as caviar were consumed daily and hundreds of bottles of champagne drunk at the hotel, which hosted high-profile guests including Saddam Hussein. The workers at the hotel began to be self-managed to a certain degree, meaning that the employees were given a chance to participate in the making of important business decisions. www.abandonedspaces.com WNFdiary

Homeless Charities Condemn Use of Metal Studs to Deter Rough Sleepers
By Priya Joshi
June 8, 2014 22:23 BST
A homelessness charity has described the installation of metal studs to deter homeless people from sleeping outside London flats as "brutal."
The metal studs were believed to have been installed outside the block on Southwark Bridge Road a few weeks ago after a person was seen sleeping rough in the doorway.
Howard Sinclair, Chief Executive of St Mungo's Broadway, said: "Each year our teams, in Southwark and elsewhere, help thousands of people off the streets.
"Part of their role is to prevent people adopting a street lifestyle which, on occasions, means adapting the physical environment to prevent people sleeping rough in a particular location on a regular basis. These 'studs' appear a rather brutal way of doing just that."
Its not know who is responsible for installing the 'anti-homelessness' device outside the private flats.
Councillor Peter John of Southwark Council issued a statement confirming the council is not responsible. "The council can look into health and safety or planning concerns that are reported to us," he said.
"With regards to people sleeping rough, the council has a dedicated officer who works closely with organisations like St Mungo's [a homelessness charity], who have a 'no second night out' policy to ensure rough sleepers are found shelter and support."
Residents in the block have condemned the action with one woman saying: "It's like treating these homeless people like animals."
The images of the studs have been circulated on Twitter prompting angry reaction from members of the public.
David Wells wrote: "These Anti homeless studs are like the spikes they use to keep pigeons off buildings. The destitute now considered vermin."
Metal studs have reportedly been appearing across the country for the last decade as the number of people sleeping rough rises.

Wolfpack fights hard before Miami advances to semifinal

Miami's Maria Brown shoots the jay.
Tar Heel Cetera DeGraffenreid lays the ball in.
FSU's Selina Archer shoots the ball, getting past a pack of Tar Heels.
UNC's Chay Shegog screens Florida State's Alexa Deluzio.
GREENSBORO COLISEUM N.C. State is hoping to make a Cinderella run through the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament, just like the Wolfpack did last season when it lost to Duke in the final.
If any miracle is going to happen, tonight will be the first test.
The No. 10 seed Wolfpack (14-16) is taking on No. 2 Miami (26-3), which is ranked tenth nationally and topped the Wolfpack 84-77 in their regular-season meeting on Jan. 27 in Coral Gables.
The Wolfpack fights very hard after getting into a deep, deep hole, but can't close the deal over the last five minutes and ends its season with a 93-85 loss.
For the first few minutes of the game, it looks as if the Wolfpack may be getting ready to lose in pretty ugly fashion.
Miami comes out like it was shot out of a cannon, going up 28-9 on a Sylvia Bullock layup with 11:48 left in the first half.
But the Wolfpack makes a long run, slicing the advantage to 39-34 on a three-point play from Myisha Goodwin-Coleman with 1:58 left in the half.
Miami's Maria Brown shoots the jumper.
The Hurricanes hold on to lead 46-34 at the break. Shenise Johnson and Stefanie Yderstrom lead Miami with 12 points each while Bonae Holston's eight points pace the Wolfpack.
Miami shoots 48.6 percent in the first half to State's 43.8, leads the rebound battle 23-18 and commits 11 turnovers to the underdogs' 14.
The Hurricanes take the lead back to 13 at 54-41 on a Johnson 3-pointer with 17:41 to go, but the Wolfpack keeps on coming.
With the partisan crowd cheering it on the Wolfpack ties the score three times — at 60, 62 and then at 64 on a pair of Amber White free throws — but can never take the lead.
It's only 85-81 after a White layup at 1:03, but the Hurricanes get three straight offensive rebounds and make it 88-81 on Johnson's layup with 40 seconds remaining.
Johnson, the ACC player of the year, leads the Hurricanes with 25 points and 13 rebounds followed by Riquna Williams with 22 points, Morgan Stroman with 16 and Yderstrom 15.
Holston leads the Wolfpack with 25 points and 11 rebounds, while the seniors finish on a great note — White scored 18 points and Brittany Strachan 17.
Miami shoots 47.1 percent to State's 47.2 and loses the rebounding battle 42-40, but the Wolfpack commits 23 turnovers to the Hurricanes' 17.
They said it …
Miami coach Katie Meier: "We're absolutely thrilled. You know we were the No. 2 seed and they were the 10, but you can throw those out the window. There's no question N.C. State is a spirited team, a team that we love and admire when we watch them on film. They have such great character. … We've had big leads, we've lost big leads, we've regained them. So I wasn't worried even if they took the lead. I think the crowd would have been really excited. We play with the crowd, we're fine. You can cheer against us — as long as somebody's cheering, we're fine."
N.C. State coach Kellie Harper: "I take losing very hard and our team takes it hard, especially when we know it's our last game. It's really hard for our seniors. Miami is a very talented team, and we knew that going in. It was going to be hard for us to continue to guard their All-Americans. We knew it was going to be hard for us to score against their aggressive defense. The kids fought hard. We told the players in the locker room they've really defined out program this year and defined it in a positive way. N.C. State is going to fight."
Johnson: "This definitely means a lot. It was well-earned. We've worked our butts off for two years, and we haven't been able to come up with wins. … It's the pride, 'The U,' baby. That's what we call it. We call it a U family. We had no tradition coming in but Riquna and I and Sylvia definitely set the tradition with our freshmen. The pride is definitely there now."
White: "Like Coach said, I thought we fought. I think that defined us in so many ways, just like the team from last year that wasn't going to give up. We were going to give it all and weren't going to lay down. They were going to have to take the win from us."
Strachan: "The legacy we want to leave is that you should never give up. No matter what you're going through as a team, just know that if you keep fighting and you keep working hard, good things will come to you."

Henry Hamilton Biography
Henry Hamilton
British officer and governor
Born: 1734?
Birthplace: Dublin, Ireland
Hamilton was the son of Henry Hamilton, member of the British Parliament for Donegal, County Cork, Ireland. Young Henry grew up in Cork, and was later commissioned into the 15th Regiment of Foot in the British Army. During the French and Indian War (1754–1760), he won distinction at the battles of Louisburg and Quebec, both British victories.
In 1775 Hamilton became the British Lieutenant Governor at Detroit. He fostered good relations between the British and the Indians in the Old Northwest, the territory south and west of the Great Lakes comprising the present-day states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. During the American Revolution, American settlers in the area were vulnerable to attack by the British and the Indians. Hamilton became known as the "hair buyer" for his rumored practice of paying bounties to the Indians for American scalps. Modern historians have largely discounted this as legend, however.
In Aug. 1778, Hamilton learned of a planned attack on British outposts by volunteers from Virginia under Gen. George Rogers Clark. Hamilton mounted an expedition to drive the Virginians back, but on Feb. 25, 1779, he was forced to surrender Fort Sackville at Vincennes. Hamilton was captured and imprisoned at Williamsburg, Va., until he was released in a prisoner exchange in 1781. He later served as lieutenant governor of Quebec (1782–1785), lieutenant governor and then governor of Bermuda (1785–1794), and governor of Dominica (1794–1796).
In 1795, at the age of 61, Hamilton married 25-year-old Elizabeth Lee. The couple had one child, Mary Anne Pierpoint Hamilton.

At Port Isaac, the Michelin starred chef, Nathan Outlaw, has the tapas-style Fish Kitchen next to the harbour and his fine dining restaurant. At Rock, the Mariners and the Rock Inn serve locally brewed Sharps beer, locally sourced fish dishes and steaks supplied by the renowned Philip Warren Butchers. For those quick snacks the local baker Malcolm Barnecutt bakes great pasties to take away and enjoy on the local beaches.
Other properties at this location: The Carriage House (1666), Pottery Cottage (1680) and Orchard Barn (2583).
The patio doors lead out to a very hot and sunny area ideal for al fresco dining.
The grounds are stunning and provide plenty of room for games of football or cricket.
The patio-area is a real sun-trap so bring the sun screen!
From the grounds there are great views towards St Mabyn.
The woods in early spring.
The Green Oak Pottery Barn where you can throw a pot or two!

"Morning Comes" is the eighth episode of the second season and twentieth overall episode of the American television drama series Dexter, which first aired on 18 November 2007 on Showtime in the United States. The episode was written by Scott Buck and was directed by Keith Gordon.

Plot

Lila and Debra are at odds with one another. Deb doesn't like her coming around after Dexter broke up with Rita and Lila feels the same. Both Deb and Dexter dislike each others' current choice of dates. Dexter finds a toy of Cody's in his bag and comments how Cody has been doing it a lot lately. Lila comments that Cody is trying to control him and Dexter states that all seven-year-olds think about is candy. Rita tells Dexter that he is no longer welcome to visit her house or her children... Dexter realizes that Lila is lying when she claims her apartment fire was an accident. Dexter tries to avoid Lila by saying he is going bowling but she tags along. After bowling, Jimenez tries to kill Dexter but is cut short when Dexter's friends back him up. He cut Dexter on the arm but not very deeply. Dexter decides to give back into his addiction and kill Jimenez. Lundy re-examines all of the department's old cases when he suspects that the Bay Harbor Butcher has a history in law enforcement. The police are set on edge as Lundy is calling their police work into question. Angel and Deb look at some old connections to the Bay Harbor Butcher. Deb and Angel are able to get the license plate of who they believe to be the Bay Harbor Butcher. Lundy, Deb, and Angel discover the person who was driving the car is a member of the Miami Metro Police. Some of Dexter's blood work reports are called into question as well. Lundy and Deb go on a dinner date.  Doakes comes back into the station to talk to Lundy. Lundy discloses that a case of his was dropped due to Dexter's blood work. Doakes retaliates by breaking into Dexter's apartment and finding the hidden collection of blood slides. Dexter looks through Jimenez's wallet to discover that she paid him to attack Dexter. Dexter breaks up with Lila and threatens her to stay away.

Production
Filming locations for the episode included the AMF Bowling Center in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, as well as sites in Palos Verdes Estates, and Santa Monica, California.

Reception

The episode was positively received. IGN's Eric Goldman gave the episode a rating of 8.8 out of 10, and commented that "[o]ne thing's for sure - when a show has you this involved and theorizing this much on what could happen, it's working especially well." The A.V. Club critic Scott Tobias gave the episode an A grade and stated "Man oh man what a thrilling episode. I love when a great series like this one makes that decisive shift into the third act, when all those weeks of set-up and slowly ratcheted tension really start to pay off. While I've had some niggling problems with the season overall, I think the table has been set more effective than it was in Season One, because we're getting a chance to see what happens when Dexter is put in a corner and has to fight his way out."

Special model Land Rover Defender V8 Works with 405 HP
Kronberg, 17. January 2018
With an exclusive high-performance version of the all-wheel drive icon, Land Rover Defender ushers in the year of 70. Brand birthday. The Defender Works V8 will be launched as special series of 150 copies. The in-house developed V8 model not only shines with its powerful engine, but also an exclusive equipment.
In 5.6 seconds to 100 kph
With the Defender Works V8 Land Rover presents a tribute to strong motorized variants of the 67 years of built series--like the V8 Version of the series III Stage 1 of the year in 1979. The new special edition is the fastest and most powerful Defender of all time. The 5.0-Liter V8 naturally aspirated gasoline engine provides 405 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. So the car accelerates in 5.6 seconds to 100 km/h and attains a top speed of 171 km/h. The V8 petrol engine meets the Euro 5 emission standard – no current emission standard, but you would have to get to the green environmental badge.
Also with Matt varnish
In addition to the 5.0-Liter engine, the special edition gets an Eight-speed automatic from ZF with sport mode, an upgraded braking system and a Handling Kit with modified springs, dampers and stabilizers. The 18-inch alloy wheels with All-Terrain tires fitted to the Dimension 265/65 R18. The car is as a Defender 90, and as a medium Defender 110 available. Eight paint finishes are available, including two matte. Contrasting with the roof, the wheel arches and the grille received a black finish, while door handles, fuel tank cap and the Defender lettering to be produced on the Aluminium bonnet. Extraordinary accents also the LED headlights.
With Recaro sports seats and leather
Inside, the special-Defender full-scale Windsor presents leather upholstery on the dashboard and door panels, the headliner and of course the Recaro sport seats. The prices in the UK start at 150,000 pounds Sterling (approximately 169,000 euros). The delivery to Germany and other countries is carried out as a single import. Also, the Defender for Land Rover is apparently still going on. So the British want to soon offer a performance improvement for the TDCi Diesel, sporty suspension modifications and brakes increases Kits. The new Defender that is expected for 2019, is to give the brand, but only "in due course".(sl)

Q: Parsing content from any url and showing in div in original form I am reading web page content in this way:
$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);
libxml_clear_errors();
$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);      // PLease dont suggest file_get_Content($url) I cant use due to some issue
foreach($xpath->query("//script") as $script) {
    $script->parentNode->removeChild($script);
}
$textContent = $doc->textContent;

And then
echo $textContent;
I am taking the response of this page into one div to show the result of $textContent.
But entire text is shown in single paragraph. Not as usual on the page.
I tried with
<pre> tag. But it shows entire content in single line.
So how can I show it in original form as in webpage?
output currently:
Investor Herd Dynamics Want to start a startup? Get funded by Y Combinator. August 2013The biggest component in most investors'\'' opinion of you is the opinion of other investors. Which is of course a recipe for exponential growth. When one investor wants to invest in you, that makes other investors want to, which makes others want to, and so on.Sometimes inexperienced founders mistakenly conclude that manipulating these forces is the essence of fundraising. They hear stories about stampedes to invest in successful startups, and think it'\''s therefore the mark of a successful startup to have this happen. But actually the two are not that highly correlated. Lots of startups that cause stampedes end up flaming out (in extreme cases, partly as a result of the stampede), and lots of very successful startups were only moderately popular with investors the first time they raised money.So the point of this essay is not to explain how to create a stampede, but merely to explain the forces that generate them. These forces are always at work to some degree in fundraising, and they can cause surprising situations. If you understand them, you can at least avoid being surprised.One reason investors like you more when other investors like you is that you actually become a better investment. Raising money decreases the risk of failure. Indeed, although investors hate it, you are for this reason justified in raising your valuation for later investors. The investors who invested when you had no money were taking more risk, and are entitled to higher returns. Plus a company that has raised money is literally more valuable. After you raise the first million dollars, the company is at least a million dollars more valuable, because it'\''s the same company as before, plus it has a million dollars in the bank. [1]Beware, though, because later investors so hate to have the price raised on them that they resist even this self-evident reasoning. Only raise the price on an investor you'\''re comfortable with losing, because some will angrily refuse. [2]The second reason investors like you more when you'\''ve had some success at fundraising is that it makes you more confident, and an investors'\'' opinion of you is the foundation of their opinion of your company. Founders are often surprised how quickly investors seem to know when they start to succeed at raising money. And while there are in fact lots of ways for such information to spread among investors, the main vector is probably the founders themselves. Though they'\''re often clueless about technology, most investors are pretty good at reading people. When fundraising is going well, investors are quick to sense it in your increased confidence. (This is one case where the average founder'\''s inability to remain poker-faced works to your advantage.)But frankly the....

A: The reason you are only getting the inner text (ie. textContent) of your HTML is because that's how textContent is meant to work. Instead, you want to get the innerHTML of your nodes, by changing your code to look like this:
$doc->loadHTMLFile($url);

libxml_clear_errors();

$xpath = new DOMXPath($doc);      // PLease dont suggest file_get_Content($url) I cant use due to some issue

foreach($xpath->query("//script") as $script) {
    $script->parentNode->removeChild($script);
}

$innerHTML = '';

foreach ($doc->childNodes as $child)
{
    $innerHTML .= $child->ownerDocument->saveHTML($child);
}

Now you can echo out $innerHTML as you please, it will contain all HTML.

Last week we (me and 'my' trainers) have finished two training programmes for EU project managers (one for a research institute and the other for the open public at the Chamber of commerce) and I'd like to share some key points with you.
First one is about shaping the project idea. With participants of our training programme, we always stuck on the following issue: "How do I convert my project idea into a language EU evaluators will understand and fund?"
Each of 7 billions of Earth habitants has at least 10 ideas per day - can you imagine how many ideas this makes per year? So, we are not short of ideas, but we are short of relevant, well-shaped project ideas.
The process of converting your idea into something that could be funded seems pretty straightforward and obvious, but it requires a little bit of thinking and research.
When you brainstorm your project idea it usually grows wildly, with many branches in all directions. Firstly, let it grow.
Then it's time for pruning. You should adapt your language to something a project evaluator will understand.
1. What is the pain point and who has it?
The people of our cities have problems with respiratory diseases.
The unemployment rate of the youngsters is X%.
Too many breaches and thefts reported by cryptocurrencies owners.
2. What is the reason behind the pain point?
Bad air quality due to a large number of cars and trucks.
The education system that does not prepare youngsters for today's job demands.
Current methods for storing cryptocurrencies are not safe.
Support your pain point claim with existing research, statistics or make your own research.
4. How would you solve it?
by developing an innovative crypto wallet for companies.
5. Which EU2020 headline targets will your solution contribute?
6. What is the concrete product or service?
So, now we have the basics covered and next time, we'll go a little bit deeper: we'll define some project aims, objectives and intellectual outputs (for example, Erasmus KA2 projects).
Part 4: How do you choose your life partner (ups, I mean EU project partner)?


Before you start making your own DIY trellis, the portray should be in your mind. To make it clearer, to get it to a sketch paper is needed. The trellis does not have to be complicated, since even the simplest one is beautiful, moreover if it is contrasted with the green background of your garden. To this aim, wooden material trellis is considered as the best one. As a DIY project, you can most probably handle woods compared to other solid materials, such as metal or stone for sure. Besides, wood trellis, with their natural colours and vibe will make your garden looks naturally beautiful trough their contrast and soft tone. And, they surely make a great shades too, half soft but keeping it warm and capturing shines.
DIY trellis is trellis of wonder. It is almost surely, that we can't always copy those great works of architect and handyman in making trellis, especially outdoor trellis. Precision and exact measure, not to mention those engravings that are made detail, is indeed the work of those who do. But, in a sudden where the creativity comes, anyone can get inspired and to the most importantly, motivated. The formula is a bit inspiration; make a plus with a spare time and a spirit to fill it, a lot but somehow also a bit creativity in mind and of course, a move to get it on the do. And, to be surely, of course the tools and the materials are one not to be forgotten.
Small to middle size of wood trellis of your own DIY project will be a good start. With small to middle size wood trellis at your garden, you are allowed to still see the green, while at the same time feeling the shades.

Losses on rental property disallowed for Japanese taxes
On 12 December 2019, the Japanese government announced tax changes for 2020 including provisions that will affect internationally mobile employees who have rental properties outside Japan. The changes limit the ability of taxpayers to offset losses from buildings that are not newly built.
Under Japanese depreciation rules, the 'useful life' of a building may have already lapsed if it was built a number of years ago. For example, the useful life of a residential apartment with steel and concrete construction is 47 years under existing Japanese tax regulations. For example, if the building was built in 1950, its useful life lapsed in 1997.
A taxpayer purchasing this apartment (treated as 'second-hand real estate' for Japanese tax purposes) in 2020 would still be able to depreciate this apartment over nine years. Where property is rented to generate income, this often results in a net loss due to the large amount of depreciation expense taxpayers can deduct. For many years, this has been used as a tax saving mechanism as the net loss generating from real estate rental income can be offset against income from other sources including employment income.
Key changes
Effective 1 January 2021, taxpayers in Japan will not be allowed to offset losses generating from the rental of overseas 'second-hand' real estate against other income.
If an individual has a loss from the rental of second-hand overseas real estate using method one, two or three below to calculate depreciation expense, the portion of the loss corresponding to the depreciation expense will be disallowed and cannot be offset against income from other sources.
This change will effectively close the tax saving opportunity that remained available to international assignees and foreign nationals in Japan leasing their apartment or house in their home country or other countries during assignment or residency in Japan.
For assets that have lapsed all of their statutory useful lives, a method in which the useful life is equal to 20% of their statutory useful lives
For assets that have lapsed a portion of their statutory useful lives, a method in which the useful life is calculated as a sum of (i) the statutory useful life of the asset less elapsed years and (ii) 20% of the elapsed years
A method in which years of useful period after the property has been placed in service is used as the useful life. An exception is allowed for method 3.
Under method 3, if the taxpayer attaches documents to evidence that the useful life of the overseas second-hand real property in accordance with laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the overseas second-hand real property is located is used or otherwise evidences that the years of useful period is appropriate, depreciation expense will be allowed.
If a taxpayer subject to the limitation of depreciation expense on overseas second-hand real property later sells that real property, the limited depreciation expense shall not be deducted in calculating the cost basis of that real property for purposes of calculating capital gain. It will generally result in reducing the capital gain.
Please note that detailed application may change depending on further legislations.
If you would like to discuss the full implications of these changes, please contact Tosh Kamii, Grant Thornton Japan

With their urban look, They will be your perfect companion for your everyday City shoot! its internal branded removable insert instantly gives you two bags in one.

It's big enough to accommodate your DSLR with 70-200/2.8 lens attached plus up to 4 lenses and a flash. In the top part there is also space for your premium mirror less cameras (compact system camera) like a Sony a7 or Fujifilm at Series with standard zoom lens attached plus one additional lens.

If you don't need to take your photographic gear with you, you can simply remove internal pouch and use your backpack as an everyday media bag.
Was in need of a bag to act as a carry-all during trips that wasn't flashy, was comfortable, durable, and didn't break the bank and just so happened to coincide with Manfrotto releasing this backpack. I have other bags from different companies and while they all are good, I was finding it hard to get my gear together, especially as it grew, without really working around the limits of the bag. I did have a hard time finding all the sizing information that I needed apart from the mention of carrying two DLSR's and 4 lenses plus a flash but decided to give it a try. Luckily I was able to get everything I needed in, with room to spare.
As you can see from the gear below, the bag can carry quite a lot. Should I lose the flash cases, I can drop in GoPros to carry as well. Two knocks against it are the cheap feeling materials that have questionable long-life durability and the lack of organization for documents and such. There is the pocket in the top pouch but it still leaves a bit to be desired. Of course you can't have everything in one bag and there will be no perfect bag but this comes close.
5.0 out of 5 starsBest Camera Bag...EVER!
This is the best camera bag, I've owned. I travel for work as a photographer and used a popular roller bag in the past, but I travel on smaller planes which forced me to check the bag at the gate, which I never want to do. I like to have my gear with me at all times, so this backpack is perfect as I can carry it on and it keeps my gear safe.
On top of the size and ease with traveling, the design of the bag itself is exactly what I've been looking for. It's packs efficiently, doesn't waste any space, and each compartment is useful and well designed.
This bag is truly the best one I've used. I highly recommend it!
2.0 out of 5 starsMuy incómoda.
Muy incómoda para llevar, las partes de los hombros muy molestas por ser tan finas, la espalda poco alcorchada, se siente el hierro de los equipos.
Sin embargo es muy espaciosa, bien diseñada y estética, llevo dentro una Canon 5D Mark IV, Lente 24-70 1:2.8 L II, Lente 70-200 1:2.8 L IS III, Lente Canon Fish Eye, Luz Led, Lente 50 mm 1:1.2, Mavic 2 Pro, MacBook Pro 15, accesorios.
Very uncomfortable to wear, the parts of the shoulders are very annoying because they are so thin, the back is slightly corked, the iron of the equipment is felt.
However it is very spacious, well designed and aesthetic, I have a Canon 5D Mark IV, Lens 24-70 1: 2.8 L II, Lens 70-200 1: 2.8 L IS III, Canon Fish Eye Lens, Led Light, Lens 50 mm 1: 1.2, Mavic 2 Pro, MacBook Pro 15, accessories.
5.0 out of 5 starsPotentially flawed design could lead to a short life.
Bellow you will find my initial review of this bag I made in August of 2017. I have now been using the bag since July of that year. I can comfortably say that this bag has held up incredibly well and has been around the world with me. I take this bag on every work trip and load it to the max. It has been on more than 20 round-trip flights with me and hasn't shown the slightest bit of wear. Color me impressed because my initial thought on this bag was it wouldn't last. I would still like to strongly criticize the top zipper design holding so much load. I think a simple support buckle would ease my mind. Also, the side water bottle holder should have been made of a stretchable material - as many bottles wont fit or are too loose.
This bag doesn't feel like it's going to last. I really like parts of the design - which is why I bought it. After one trip with 2 pro full body DSLRs, my laptop, and some other gadgets it feels like bag won't make it to the end of the year. The top zipper supports ALL the weight of everything in the bag. So when you lift it by the straps and sling it over your back or you pick it up by the top handle, you feel all the tension build in the area around the top zipper. This isn't a good sign. This is going to be the achilles heel of the bag and I predict it won't last very long.
On a positive note, the bag is the perfect size for travel and fits under the seats of most planes.
Until the bag fails I will enjoy it. But everyone should be aware that if you plan to load this thing up, it might break prematurely.
5.0 out of 5 starsLa mejor mochila que he comprado.
He usado otras marcas de mochilas con las que he trabajado por años. Esta vez di la oportunidad a Manfrotto aprovechando que estaba en descuentos. Realmente me gusta la forma de la mochila y la distribución de los espacios. El espacio para mi laptop de 13.6 es perfecta y cabe adicional una iPad air. Los materiales aparentemente son de buena calidad. Faltaría usarla mas tiempo para saber que tan durable es. En general si compraría otra vez esta mochila y si la recomendaría a una amigo.
4.0 out of 5 starsHeavy but look durable materia.
I loved it but I had to returned it as it feels it was heavy with out anything inside. I wished this bag had some wheels for traveling. When I add all my equipment it was incredibly heavy. I ordered other smaller same brand, hopefully is good size and not that heavy.
3.0 out of 5 starsDesign is good but the materials are not..
I could have give five stars on this product because I like the overall design but the materials especially the zippers and the stitching makes this product looks cheap and unreliable!


Neyland 1st X1 played Narberth in the semi final of the Senior Cup on Saturday. The game was played at Monkton in front of a substantial crowd. The last time the Nomads took part in a semi in this competition they lost to Pennar Robins.
So there was a lot at stake on this occasion to ensure that history did not repeat itself. The outcome of the game was a 2-1 win for the Nomads who will now face Goodwick United in the final!
The club is hoping for 'the town' to lend maximum support at this final which will take place on Saturday 2 nd May at the Bridge Meadow Stadium in Haverfordwest. Please come in droves to encourage the lads in their attempt to bring the silverware of the most prestigious football competition back to Neyland. K. O. is 2.30pm and a supporters coach is being arranged!
One note of disappointment from Saturday was the fractured wrist sustained by Scott Jones which will also impact on his participation with cricket. The club wish him the speediest of recoveries!
So please don't plan anything other than a trip to the Bridge Meadow next Saturday!!!

Nathan Warlow the goal scorer!
Neyland travelled to high flying Merlin's Bridge on the 14th February knowing that a win would see them swap places with the Bridge and move back in to second place. There was a minute's silence before the game in memory of Kelvin Townsend who captained the team during the 70's.
The entire game was played at speed with equal attacks I the opponent's half and equally effective defending. Both sides spurned a couple of chances each during the two periods. Not a lot else can be said about the game except the action of the last minute – and each minute counts! The ball was crossed and fell into open space in the Merlin's Bridge penalty area. It was Nathan Warlow who was closest at hand to side foot the ball in to an empty Bridge net. This result means that – after a good 2 – 2 draw away at St. Clears last week with Mikey Chandler scoring both – the Nomads remain unbeaten in 2015! Next week they are away to Narberth..
The 2nd X1 had an excellent 4-0 win at home against top-of-the-table Herbrandston with goals from Phil Bevan, Andrew Smith (2), Andrew Davies. Next week they are at home to Pembroke Borough.

The Nomads entertained Angle on Saturday at the Athletic Club. The pitch had held up well after accommodating the under 12's in the morning.
The home side went ahead in the 20th minute when Gary Power fired home from close range. A further 10 minutes passed before Henry Durrant leapt on to a rebound and slotted the ball past the visitor's keeper.
The second half saw the Nomads exert constant pressure and the result was put beyond doubt when Wayne Vaughan-Parry scored the final goal of the game. This result takes the Nomads up to 3rd position in the First Division.
Meanwhile the 2nd X1 was away at Llangwm. With the visitors ahead by 1-0 the game was abandoned due to a head injury sustained by Neyland's keeper, Marlon Hutchings. He was transported to hospital by ambulance and the club wish him a speedy recovery!

From Michael Moore's hometown of Flint, MI, to the movie-making capital of the United States, director Mike Wilson's inflammatory documentary travels across the country to hold the controversial Sicko director's allegedly questionable tactics up to the light for closer examination. Wilson is a filmmaker who wants viewers to question what they see and hear in the media, and he's willing to travel thousands of miles in order to highlight why you too should remain skeptical about Moore's motivations as a filmmaker. The result is a meditation on the American dream, and the manner in which diligence and determination can eventually pay off for the folks who aren't willing to let their dreams fade. Additionally, by speaking with such well-known media figures as Penn Jilette and John Stossel as well as a host of highly respected scholars, Wilson highlights how Moore manipulates interviews and statistics to serve his own personal agenda.

Teacher-librarian managing Information Services across a two campus Early Learning (3 years olds) to Year 12 (18 year olds) Independent Co-Educational School in a regional city. I teach Library lessons to our Year 5 class. My Initial teacher training was in Geography and History, and I teach one class of History Revolutions (France and Russia) to senior students. In 2015 I completed a second Master of Education degree in Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation, an online course through Charles Sturt University in Australia. I am passionate about teaching our young people about our world and its people, and involving them in global activities to broaden their horizons.
My co-teacher, Mrs Bec Cameron, shares the teaching of Library lessons at our Junior School. She also teaches Art. You will also spot ourLibrary Assistant, Mrs Smith, in some of the photographs.
We worked at making posters to consolidate our thinking. You can see us working here. Some of us got a bit excited about saving other region's animals and plants but it all contributes to our growing knowledge and understanding of this huge topic.
What are we hoping to act on?
As a result of surveying all students via Forms we have decided to produce a calendar for 2018 for our families and local political representatives. Photographs have been prepared, we just need to confirm how we will proceed from here. We are also very interested in planting trees so that will be another activity we want to complete before the end of the school year in December. 60% of the students in my class have indicated that they would like to do something like this again, and they were all pleased to be working with students in so many countries to improve the world that we share. For my part as teacher, I have been pushed to master a number of new skills which will be transferrable to all aspects of my work. My 10 second video for Koen is still coming as I had recorded great video but no sound! Forms, Sway and Office Mix have all been used in a manner that has increased my knowledge.
The Mixes I have made will be upgraded to Microsoft Stream format and the links shared in the appropriate week of this site. This will make our work accessible beyond May 2018 when Office Mix is being retired!
