Henry Cejudo: "I always put myself second because I strive to be first"
When Henry Cejudo was just 21 years old he traveled to Beijing, China to wrestle in the freestyle competition representing the United States of America at 55-kilograms in the 2008 Olympics. The fact that he made it to the games was shocking enough, but then he went out and pulled off upset after upset all the way through to the gold medal match where he defeated Tomohiro Matsunaga from Japan to win the competition.
Cejudo was celebrated as an American hero and when he returned home he was appearing on talk shows, and saw stories about him in every major newspaper and magazine across the country. Now six years later, Cejudo is getting ready to make another unlikely journey where he's going to be counted as an underdog on day one.
The former Olympic gold medalist will debut in the UFC on Saturday night where he will face Scott Jorgensen at UFC 177 in only his seventh professional fight. While wrestlers have made MMA their home for decades, Cejudo becomes only the third American gold medalist to fight in the UFC and the first since Kevin Jackson fought there all the way back in 1998 at UFC 16.
As excited as everyone seems to be to welcome Cejudo to the UFC and hail him as an Olympic gold medalist, he prefers to look at things in a much different way. Cejudo is a 6-0 fighter with no Octagon experience and a relative novice in a new sport making his first appearance in the biggest fight promotion in the world while taking on a former title contender who is ranked No. 15 among the best fighters at 125-pounds.
I became the best six years ago. It's a whole new ball game. I was an Olympic champion in 2008. Don't get me wrong, I'll always be a champion, but I've also learned that I've got to put that aside
— Henry Cejudo
Cejudo will always be proud of the gold medal he won in 2008, but that day is past and he's moved onto a new sport. A sport where he's the new guy on the block once again.
"A lot of people look at 'Sugar' Ray Leonard, Oscar De La Hoya, Muhammad Ali, people that have had that prestige of representing the U.S. and winning a gold medal. But that was in 2008 (when I won). I became the best six years ago. It's a whole new ball game," Cejudo told FOX Sports on Thursday. "There's guys who are hungry who have been training just as long. I was an Olympic champion in 2008. Don't get me wrong, I'll always be a champion, but I've also learned that I've got to put that aside."
The way Cejudo succeeds in MMA is using the same method he did in wrestling for all those years leading to the 2008 Olympic games. If he always believes he has to fight for every inch, every takedown and every position he gains while the odds say he shouldn't be there in the first place, Cejudo just always seems to find a way to win.
"I always put myself second because I strive to be first. That's all it is," Cejudo said. "I appreciate the attention, the media, the cameras, I appreciate all of it for my first fight. It's just a little brighter limelight but I have to make sure I perform. If I do things right, it's going to be very hard to beat me."
The spotlight in the UFC is definitely bright, but it's not that much different of an animal than his biggest days in wrestling. In both cases, losing comes with a certain kind of physical domination, it's one on one, and the spotlight is warm and comforting after a win but just as cold and bitter when it shines on a defeat.
Throughout his career, Cejudo has elevated his game on the biggest stages whether that was wrestling a native on his home soil or performing in front of the world as part of the Olympics. The UFC has a different name and it's certainly a different sport, but the feeling is very much the same.
"I know the wrestling community's very anxious for me to fight, it's happened for the last few years. I've learned to embrace pressure. I've learned that anything that makes my heart beat is a challenge and me, I'm a competitor. I love the heart beats, I love the challenge. That's actually when I do my best, when I'm pressured, when I'm challenged," Cejudo said.
"I've learned to embrace it. This isn't my first rodeo. I've had the chance to wrestle in Iran in front of 50,000 people, in Times Square, in the Olympic games, the list goes on. This is wrestling plus punches plus knees plus submissions, but I've worked at those skills for a very long time now so I feel very confident."
It doesn't take Cejudo long to draw parallels between this first fight in the UFC to one of his most famous wrestling matches over a decade ago. He was a senior in high school and Cejudo took part in an international tournament where he was matched up with wrestlers from all over the country including an NCAA champion with years of size, power and experience on him.
The only thing I can promise you is my best. I'm not going to promise you a knockout. I'm not going to promise you 'Fight of the Night'. But I'm going to give you my best and that much I promise
— Henry Cejudo
On paper, Cejudo should have been happy just to survive for three periods, but instead he went out and dominated the match. With more than a few jaws on the floor and eyes gaped open, Cejudo knew he had a solid future ahead of him in wrestling.
He's starting to get the same feeling when looking at MMA.
"I remember the first time I was in high school and I wrestled in the open tournament, it was actually the Sunkist tournament, men's division, and I had the returning NCAA champion in my first match. Nobody gave me a shot. People were like 'it's so courageous for him to wrestle'. Nobody thought I was going to beat him. I beat the returning NCAA champion and I major decisioned him like 6-0. That's when I started to slowly make headlines," Cejudo revealed.
"I believed since I was at a very young age that I was very mature, very strong for my age. Now at the age of 27, I have probably hit my peak. I've never felt this strong in my life. So it's a little scary the potential that could develop."
His first fight in the UFC won't be easy and while he's a slight favorite to win, he's not a lock by any means. Cejudo knows to climb to the top of the mountain in the UFC it's going to require the same kind of hard work that earned him an Olympic gold medal in 2008. It's part of the reason why he's only willing to give one guarantee about his upcoming fight against Scott Jorgensen.
"The only thing I can promise you is my best," Cejudo said. "I'm not going to promise you a knockout. I'm not going to promise you 'Fight of the Night'. But I'm going to give you my best and that much I promise."

In less than 5 seconds, he already opened the metal can. This is just unbelievable! I think his dentist gets angry with him everytime he does it.

Tuesday night, the cast of 'Sparkle' gathered at the Cinema Society with Circa and Alice & Olivia for the screening of "Sparkle" at Tribeca Grand Hotel.
The leading ladies,Jordan Sparks, Tika Sumpter and Carmen Ejogo all looked lovely. While Jordan looked red hot, Tika glittered in gold and Carmen kept it simple in all black.
I especially loved Jordan's look! She wore a hot red Alice + Olivia dress with a peplum waist and red Giuseppe Zanotti pumps.
Are we feeling it?!

Inspired by a mea culpa blogroll post on my friend MTFF's most excellent blog, I thought that this may be a good point at which to lay out the LLG policy on blogrolls.
I have more or less stopped regularly maintaining the LLG reciprocal blog roll which lurks at the bottom of this page. It's just a bit out of control now. I do get the odd request for inclusion which I file in a dedicated folder and every two or three months I go through it and add and subtract as necessary.
Instead of using blogrolls to keep track of other blogs as I did in the days when LLG was a tiny blog, I now use an RSS reader – Google Reader in my case, Bloglines, previously, where feeds to hundreds of blogs to which I have subscribed are aggregated so that I can read all the latest blog entries in one convenient place. I have a folder for everyone that leaves comments regularly on my blog so that I can repay the favour when I can, one for other fashion blogs, one for everyday reads, one for everyday miscellany and so on. If I were to use blogrolls on LLG to do this, the lists would run pages long.
I choose not to use Blogger Following for the same reason, although I make it available for my readers who do choose to do so: the list would be too long to manage. (I will also be leaving Blogger in the near future, so it makes sense to have my blog lists held externally.)
So don't assume that because you aren't on a blogroll on LLG or that I haven't 'Followed' you, that I don't read you – ten to one, I'll be voraciously reading your latest posts through my RSS reader.
I do have two blogrolls which are relatively up to date: the list of my personal friends who blog, because otherwise they'd be lost in the endless blogroll at the bottom of LLG; and the Thank you for Mentioning LLG list, which acts as a personal recommendation & thank you to those blogs or websites and an aide memoire for me of the things that have been said about LLG out there in the ether.
But there are often omissions – if you don't use Blogger Following, adding blogs to a blogroll is a bit more complicated than a one click action and, most importantly, don't forget that LLG is not a paid project, so money work has to take precedence over blog admin, much as I wish that wasn't the case.
So, if you are someone with whom I have a proper two way relationship, ether or real world, and I haven't included you, prod me – as MTFF did recently and tell me, rather than glowering away in the ether. I'll be grateful, mortified, and do my best to rectify it immediately.

Nicole Richie set up Benji Madden with Cameron Diaz
Socialite Nicole Richie has taken responsibility for setting up her brother-in-law Benji Madden with his new lady love Cameron Diaz. The Good Charlotte rocker and actress Diaz sparked rumours of a new romance when they were spotted spending time together in May (14), and reports suggested they had been introduced by mutual friend Richie.
Now the fashion designer, who is married to Benji's twin brother Joel, has opened up about her matchmaking project.
During an appearance on U.S. chat show Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday (08Jul14), Richie was asked if she approved of the new couple's budding romance, to which she replied, "I approve of anything that's going to make Benji happy. I am a devoted sister-in-law. I'm happy for anyone who is happy, and I want everyone to be surrounded with love."
When questioned if she was the one who officially set Madden and Diaz up, Richie admitted, "Yes. I'm going to take responsibility for everything!"
Diaz recently took their relationship to the next level by introducing the rocker to her whole family during a reunion in Florida over America's Independence Day holiday weekend (04-06Jul14).

Key Generation Using Physical Properties of Wireless Communication
- Aggelos KiayiasAffiliated withDepartment of Computer Science Engineering, University of Connecticut
- , Bulent YenerAffiliated withDepartment of Computer Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
A key exchange protocol between two parties that enables the calculation of a key on both sides while preventing an adversary to extract any nontrivial information about the key. The protocol assumes the parties have access to a correlated random source that is derived from the wireless communication link they employ. The adversary can be considered to be passive (eavesdropping) or active (modifying the communication environment).
In a wireless environment, the received signal suffers from external distortions that include mean propagation pathloss, fading, interference from other users' signals, and thermal noise. Among these causes, fading may change in an unpredictable way as the wireless environment changes due to the frequency, location, direction, and reflecting coefficients of the surrounding objects. The unpredictability of these factors presents a wireless channel as a (nonstationary) stochastic process that may contain a substantial amou ...

Hi, my name is Vanja and I stand behind the world of AmigurumiBB designs.
I have been into arts and crafts since I known about myself. All my life have been creating something. Drawing, painting, DIY anything you can imagine, worked the sculpture and pottery as well. Have to admit I am not good in photography (as you will se from the photos I'll take and place here :), don't know how to knit well and sew. But nothing can stop me making and creating something!
My life took me other direction. For many years worked in finances, as I like to call it "suits people". That gave me opportunity to travel around the world, but did not satisfied my inner me. Few years ago when that kind of life of high speed and exhauster tempo started to influence my health, I left it and turned to my beloved roots of arts and crafts again.
I like to create, like to help. I like making others happy. Seeing smile on other people's faces is what brings joy and happiness into my life and gives me energy to continue in what I do.
With amigurumi I started at the beginning of 2013. Discovered it by accident. Was working for a chameleon doll for one of nieces. That is how all this started. With one tiny chameleon! My grandmothers tought me crocheting when I was eight or nine years old, so basics (and more) I had to start on my amigurumi creations.
Just love making amigurumi. To me it feels as putting together painting (the color), sculpture (creating the shape), crafting (crocheting itself), so it fills me completely and makes me very, very happy. Final satisfaction is seeing wide smile on children's faces having in hands one of my creations. That is priceless!
That is why I started this blog. To share my passion about amigurumi and other arts and crafts I like and do. To find out what other artists and crafters are doing. To teach others with this little that I know, and to learn as much as I can from all of you there that are wiling to share the knowledge.
Hope you will enjoy this journey in blog running with me. Looking forward to hear all your comments, bad or good. Hope you will learn something from me, enjoy in what I share and find something to share back with me and the followers.
With love,

Can you watch tv through orb on your droid? If not is there any other way to do it?
Why don't you try and let us know
Won't be home to turn on my orb till Saturday night and I'll need in Sunday. Just trying to figure out what to expect so I can get it running quickly. I'm going to be away Sunday and want to watch a football game.
OK I had someone turn orb on for me and it doesn't work on my Droid.
Does anyone know how I can watch TV on my Droid?
Try the tvflash and tv.com apps. You can also just go to network websites and watch episodes using flash.
I did get orb working once, but it wasn't live tv, it was video streaming off my PC (xvid I think). But it's been a long time since I tried. I was satisfied once the Slingbox app released. It does all I need it to and works quite well...
Try Channelsurfing.net

I want to show you how to add language files to your mod.
0/10 - Very simple
This Tutorial was created with Forge 184.108.40.2064 for Minecraft 1.8. If anything doesn't work with other versions, please contact me!
To add a language file, we first need to add a new folder called "lang". This folder needs to be placed in WorkspaceRoot/src/resources/
In this folder we need to create a file for each language you mod should support. The default language file which each mod should contain is en_US.lang.
We create this file and open it with an editor. I'd recommend using notepad++ because this is the only one I know which can change the encoding of the file easily.
One very important thing about the language files is the encoding: Minecraft only supports the encoding "UTF-8 without BOM" so we need to set this in the editor. If we use another encoding, some special letters (for instance the german ä, ö, ü) might be encoded wrong.
The structure of the language file is rather easy. Each line assigns an unlocalized name with a translated name. First write the unlocalized name followed by a "=" but without whitespace! After the "=" we can write your translated name - also without whitespace between the "=" and the first letter.
To find out the unlocalized name of a block or item we can either take a look how the block or item is named without a translation or we remember the naming convention of minecraft.
A block always has the unlocalized name "tile.unlocalizedName.name". UnlocalizedName is the name you set for the block with setBlockName();.
An item is always named "item.unlocalizedName.name" when unlocalizedName is the name you set for the item with setUnlocalizedName();.
For my tutorialItem and tutorialBlock the language file looks like this:
item.tutorial_item.name=Tutorial Item tile.tutorial_block.name=Tutorial Block
To make the file easier to read we can add empty lines to structure the code.
Also its useful to add a header line which tells the reader something about the file, but this is not necessary.
< en_US.lang - English localization file for the mod Tutorial >
If we now start minecraft your blocks and items should be named. If not, check if you refreshed your workspace in eclipse by right-clicking on your project and selecting "Refresh".
You can download the code used in this tutorial from here.
Take a look at the tutorial overview and find out what you want to do
If you want to report modding problems, please make sure to include the code in a pastebin link or something else! Don't just write "It doesn't work", otherwise your post will be deleted. For more complicated problems, please use the troubleshooter form.

If the stream is flowing through next to the property, does it affect the property price.
am planning to buy a property in HA3. There is a potential on the side of the property for development/extension in future subject to planning permission. Considering this potential I have made an offer on puchase price. Secondly very next to this property a stream is flowing through. I am not sure but the name of the stream is I guess "The Wealdstone Brook". My question is because of this stream, may I have a problem in planning permission in future for petential development ?? Do I consider that land on the side of the property as a future potential ?? Because considering that potential property price is decided. Is there any requirment by Brent Council that you can not build or develop in certain distance of such stream?? Because of this stream is there any effect on the property price considering flood risk and environmental survey ??

Self Medicating and Your Anxiety
Self Medicating and Your Anxiety
This article is going to talk about self medication with street drugs. Let's first take a look at the street drugs that people commonly use, specifically pot and alcohol. Marijuana is commonly used by itself or in combination with alcohol. Pot can give you a calming effect after it is inhaled. Depending on the amount and strength it can also have the opposite effect on your physical health. Increased respirations and heart rate can be expected. Mentally, pot use can lead to psychological dependence, paranoia, which in turn can lead to extreme levels of anxiety. The whole idea of engaging in an illegal activity can increase your anxiety and keep it there as long as you are involved in this activity. Getting caught with dope, getting arrested and jailed can increase your anxiety. Does this all sound like common sense? Well yes it is, you don't need a PHD in psychology to figure this out. Prolonged stress leads to anxiety and it is inevitable it will happen. Think back to when you did something you said you would never do. Likely you had feelings of guilt, worry and that physical rush (pounding heart, inability to concentrate, increased breathing), to conclude this is another reason to stay away from street drugs, it just a poor choice. See how long you can put your body and mind through this and I can guarantee it won't be long before you are leading a tough battle fighting anxiety not to mention the physical damage you are putting your body through. Sure we always hear about how safe pot is and that it should be legalized, but for an anxiety sufferer or someone dealing with mental health issues it's a devastating choice. Now let's take a look at alcohol and your mental health. In small amounts (1 drink per day) studies have shown alcohol to be beneficial to your general health, but there is a fine line and not everyone can drink alcohol on a daily basis without having physical damage to your body or a psychological problem in the form of an addiction. When first consumed, alcohol acts like a mild stimulant. You may feel euphoric and energetic. As we consume more our body cannot process the alcohol as quickly as we consume it. As the amount increases it begins to depress body systems which ultimately can lead to coma and death. Long term use of alcohol damages organs in the body, creates family issues, employment problems that can lead to poor mental health. Without treating these addictions you will never be able to control your anxiety. Alcohol will make you depressed and lazy. It will make you make excuses for your behavior. Alcohol use will hurt people you love but will mask your guilt and shame. If you have an addiction get treated for it. Stop making excuses and being in denial, you are only putting off the inevitable, a long hard life of mental health and physical problems.

text: I'm extremely interested in an app that does different things with my phone depending on time or location, but I'm not sure which is best. Ideally, a few of the things I'd like it to do would be to mute my phone at work, turn on Wi-Fi at home, max brightness when plugged into my car dock, and open my music player when I plug headphones in. Locale looks really polished and nice, with a lot of plug-in support (being able to update my Gtalk status depending on location seems handy), but it's also a bit expensive and I hear a lot of stories about it not working well. I don't think I'd mind paying $10 for it if it works, so are these stories no longer true thanks to updates, or is it still bad? The other popular option seems to be Setting Profiles, but I don't know much about it. It's cheaper, but does it have any of the features Locale gets through plugins?

It's nearly common knowledge that there are a lot of things bartenders hate. There is etiquette that they expect everyone to adhere to and places for everything that they use. Those can be minor inconveniences though, when compared to the requisite jukebox.
Jukeboxes allow customers, (the idiotic masses of the general population) to pick songs and force everyone in the bar to listen to their choices. And then that guy, (the guy who jammed the last of his money into the jukebox) leaves and another guy comes in and plays the same damn song. For the bartender there is no escape. This results in songs bartenders hate:
Nickleback's "Rockstar": Not only is this song overplayed and annoying, the person who chooses this song to play with their hard earned dollar does not want to be a rockstar. Chances are, this person has no musical ability or talent and at best the pinnacle of his dreams is to be the drug dealer based out of the closest strip joint.
Tom Jones' any song: It's not funny, it's not cute; it is torture. Unless you are a pleasantly plump older women wearing sequins you cannot convince me that you genuinely had a craving to hear Tom Jones while drink beer.
Foreigner's "Dirty White Boy": Yes, I know Lou Gramm was in Foreigner. I know Lou Gramm is from Rochester. Of course I know he' so-and-so's cousin: of course he is, he's an Italian-American from Rochester, NY, he's everybody's cousin. I don't know what a dirty white boy is exactly, but I'd rather not hear about it anymore.
The Obscure Song That You Want Everybody to Pay Close Attention To: This could be a great song, but in a bar, we hate it. Nobody knows it, which is fine, but the the person playing this song insists that everyone quiet down and wants the bartender to contemplate the lyrics. We don't have time for this and now we have to keep the guys who were asked to quiet down from beating the jukebox master up.
Honorable Mentions:
"Shook Me All Night"- AC/DC
"Crazy Bitch"- Buckcherry
"I Wanna Rock N Roll All Night"- KISS
"Brown Eyed Girl"- Van Morison
The next time you take your two bucks up to the jukebox at your favorite bar, choose carefully. Take into consideration how many times a day the bartender may have heard that song, don't use the jukebox to force your tastes on everyone. Choose something that fits the mood of the crowd and your bartender may give you points (maybe even buy you a drink) if you ask what they want to hear.

Shining a light on Winchester flashlights
This article let's discuss Winchester flashlights, a typical low end collectible from this company. That simply means any of us can afford to collect these. More about value later on. According to my resource for this week's information, "Standard Catalog of Winchester," their flashlights have outstanding features. Some include one-piece lens cap, coarse pitched threads on lens cap and base cap which prevented the usual stripping of threads, thus making the item easier to use. All Winchester flashlights have a patented switch. Their nickel-plated cases were made of heavy brass, which held up to hard use. Their fiber cases were constructed of genuine vulcanized fiber free seams. Lastly, all flashlights included some type of case or box and a Mazda bulb. Batteries were not included. Even back then, they were sold separately. Sound familiar?
It's important to know Winchester made a multitude of flashlights for the public's use. As with most collectibles, certain styles demand more money. Here's a listing of most of their models. Keep in mind, a written resource will be necessary to see and understand the differences of these designs. Models included, three cell searchlight with focus, (two different styles), three cell searchlight, three cell miner's, standard three cell, two cell focusing, two cell searchlight, two cell miner's and standard two cell flashlight. Getting to know these different models isn't difficult with proper references.
Let's discuss value. I quickly checked eBay under Winchester flashlights and there were less than one hundred listed. In fact, less than half were vintage with collectible value. Initially, you may think that is good news, but not really. Earlier I stated most anyone can collect Winchester flashlights, and that's true. Today's prices reflect you can purchase most of their lights for $5 to $25 each. There are exceptions. For example, find a Winchester flashlight in a metal case in super condition and the books state a value of $225. Interesting to me as I searched written values in the "Standard Catalog of Winchester" almost without exception, they were inflated when compared to actual prices being paid on eBay. Here's my point. Always be disciplined in your purchases and you will rarely over pay. Check eBay as those prices are being realized, not "pie in the sky" figures noted in some book.
In regards to eBay, I have noticed some sellers have listed ridiculously high prices. Often the very same flashlight at the very same time on eBay can be offered at two drastically different prices. Check every source you can before spending your money. If selling, do the same to insure you receive a fair price for your collectable. One other danger of bidding on eBay involves friends "bidding up" their buddies' item in an attempt to receive the highest possible price. That is illegal and eBay continues to monitor that nasty habit of some sellers. Again, your best bet against such behavior is to be an informed buyer or seller.
A quick note on our last article referencing Winchester Model 94, lever action 30-30 rifles. I received a contact from one of our readers regarding their Model 94. Remember, I stated price values in the article were for the standard model. They gave a serial number and I found it to be made in 1905. Yes, their rifle is 105 years old. It gets better. I was informed the gun had a 26" octagon barrel. The lesson here is quite basic. That Model 94 is worth much more than the value I offered because of its unique design. I share this because it clearly illustrates certain features dramatically affect value. Until next time, may all your searches be successful.

New Year is here. The first morning of this year 2009. All seems quiet in the neighbourhood and life goes on. How much partying has been going on ? For us this new day has started just any other one but it will be mostly for pampering. Maybe the Aromatherapy one which is my favourite.It is a massage where :
Essential oils from plants are massaged into the skin in order to enhance the healing and relaxing effects of massage. Essential oils are believed to have a powerful effect on mood by stimulating two structures deep in the brain known to store emotions and memory.
In general, massage is believed to support healing, boost energy, reduce recovery time after an injury, ease pain, and enhance relaxation, mood, and well-being. In addition to being of value for many musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and sprains and strains, massage may relieve depression in people with chronic fatigue syndrome, ease chronic constipation (when the technique is performed in the abdominal area), decrease swelling after a mastectomy (removal of the breast), alleviate sleep disorders, and improve self-image. In the workplace, massage has been shown to melt away stress and enhance mental alertness.
Studies have found that massage relieves chronic back pain more effectively than other treatments (including acupuncture and conventional medical care for this condition with education via books and videos) and, in many cases, costs less than other treatments for this common health problem. In addition, mothers and newborns also appear to benefit from massage. Mothers trained to massage their infants often feel less depressed and have a better emotional bond with their babies. Newborns who receive massage from their mothers also tend to cry less, and are more active, alert, and sociable. Premature babies who receive massage therapy have been shown to gain weight faster than preemies who do not receive this type of therapy. Infants who receive massage regularly may also sleep better, be less gassy or colicky, and have better body awareness as well as more regular digestion.

Finally, we got an image of the Hyundai i-flow HED-7 hybrid concept, which will be one of eight debuts that Hyundai plans to do at the Geneva Motor Show. This car is intended to preview a new sedan that "redefines the perception of space" for D-segment vehicles.
The Hyundai i30u, the facelifted version of the i30, will also be shown at the Geneva show and will go into mass production right after the show ends. The i-flow is part of Hyundai's "fluidic sculpture" style theme.
The car is made more efficient due to its drag coefficient of 0.25.Hyundai used a 1.7-liter diesel engine with a two-stage turbo charger, six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and an unspecified electric motor mated to a Lithium Ion-Polymer battery.
Aside from the low drag coefficient, the car impresses us all the more with its emissions of 85 grams of CO2 per kilometer, while using only 3 liters of fuel per 100km (78mpg US / 94mpg imp).
For its interior, the cabin is centered around an expansive, contoured screen, which recognizes not only touch but also gestural inputs along its fascia-wide display.
The exterior is finished in a "Liquid Metal" coating produced by BASF. Furthermore, Hyundai said that the i30u will show changes to design and performance.
Hyundai will also be showing off a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle of the ix35/Tucson, and five efficient Blue Drive versions of the i10, i20, i30, i30cw, and the ix35.

Bedroom Benches
Nothing combines luxury with premium storage solutions like our beautiful bedroom benches. In earlier days, every room had one, and they were used to sit on until it was bed time. While that is no longer the case in today's society, they still provide a function that is unmatched.
Placing one of these beautiful pieces of furniture at the end of the bed is a great way to add high-end style and luxury to your room. They are the perfect accessory to go with your furniture, and offer a nice place to put a blanket or throw your coat. As the times have changed, however so have these pieces of furniture.
Today, bedroom benches take on a whole new level of function. Many offer drawers that are perfect for storing items you do not want to leave out or lose. They also double as a table – a great place to display embroidered cushions, place your handbag, or stack books to keep the room from getting messy.
Cubby style options provide another great place to store things. They can add decorative value as a great place to house ornaments, or they can be the perfect place to put fabric bins or baskets and keep storage contained in an attractive way. Some pieces also have lids that open to keep storage inside the structure.
These are perfect for housing extra blankets, pajamas, or other items that may take up a lot of room in a closet or create an eyesore if left out in the open. A seat to accompany a vanity is another popular use of this type of furniture. Having a place to sit while applying makeup or other grooming tasks is a great feature that provides a nice way to relax before getting your day started, or a nice way to wind down when ending your day.
Regardless of if you are looking for a quality bedroom bench to use for storage, or as a place to rest your feet, we have an option that will work best for you and in the style and color that best suits your room.

Please read on to find out why they need your help.
FORCE Cancer Charity believes that anyone diagnosed with cancer deserves the best possible treatment and professional support close to home. 2017 marks the 30th anniversary of this highly respected West Country organisation. Since 1987 FORCE has been funding local research and buying equipment to improve patient care. In 2004 the charity opened a Cancer Support and Information Centre in the grounds of the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital. The Centre is open every weekday for people needing physical, emotional, psychological and practical support at a difficult time in their lives.
FORCE also offers support and information sessions once a week in Tiverton and Okehampton with a third location in East Devon planned for 2017. All of the charity's services are free of charge. FORCE is there to help, whatever your cancer and wherever you are on your cancer journey. Cancer brings about change in people's lives and hearing that you or someone close to you has cancer can be a distressing experience. A diagnosis is often accompanied by a range of different emotions which can prove challenging to face alone. The FORCE Support Centre offers a relaxed and comfortable setting where patients, their families and friends can get information, advice and help. You do not need a referral, which means you can call in when it's convenient to you.
Cornwall Air Ambulance was the first air ambulance in the UK, and for over 30 years, it has been providing a vital helicopter emergency service to the community of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, flying 365 days a year and attending an average of 2-3 missions every day. This dedicated purpose built and highly equipped aircraft flies at 140mph, and on average arrives on scene within 12 minutes of a 999 call, significantly reducing the time taken to get seriously ill patients the treatment they need - in hospital or on-scene. In very many cases over the last 30 years, this has made the difference between life and death.
The service attend around 700 incidents each year, with current mission numbers in excess of 26,000. Cornwall lends itself to an air ambulance service well due to its widely scattered population, remote communities, and easily congested road networks which make the use of conventional ambulances more difficult. Our beaches, cliff tops and moorland areas attract many people, some of whom participate in water sports and extreme sports, a vital part of our tourism and leisure economy, but a factor which also increases the frequency and severity of accidents.
Our distinctive helicopter remains one of the busiest in the UK yet we do not receive any central government funding for running costs and are reliant upon the support of local and regional supporters, businesses and individuals alike, to help us reach our target of £3.5m.
Eliza's Dad, Howard, recalls: "Our beautiful 17 month daughter Eliza choked on a ball. We tried everything to dislodge it, but it was stuck in her throat. We dialled 999." Before the ambulance could arrive, Eliza stopped breathing and Howard began CPR. "When Paramedics arrived they managed to get the ball out and got her breathing again." From the family's rural home near Stithians Cornwall Air Ambulance sped Eliza to Treliske Hospital in under 7 minutes. Scans at Treliske and, later, Bristol Children's Hospital revealed Eliza had suffered brain damage. She was fighting for her life. "We were told to expect the worst," recalls Howard. "We had Eliza christened by the Chaplain while she was still in a coma."
A breakthrough came in June. "Eliza smiled, responding to our voices. She knew it was us. She was eventually strong enough to be brought out of the coma." Eliza had been left with Cerebral Palsy, but she made such amazing progress that her doctors called her a 'miracle baby'. After exactly 100 days in hospital, Eliza came home to Cornwall. "The speed with which the air ambulance responded was amazing" said Howard, "They landed in a nearby field and a passer-by drove the paramedics, Amy and Steve, to our house. The time taken to get Eliza to hospital was a major factor in her still being with us today."
