2013 Hyundai Santa Fe: Fuel Economy Update for July
August 6, 2013
It's early days for our new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe long-term test vehicle. After all, the first time we poured any gas into it was July 2nd. This is its first fuel economy update.
So far it has been pretty popular. After some four weeks I'm staring at an odometer that reads 2,496 miles. And we're already seeing a good spread of high and low MPG readings.
Our observed average of 18.4 mpg trails a bit behind its 20-mpg Combined rating, but it's way too early to read much into that. This month included break-in miles and a trip to the track to run the numbers. The months to come should settle into a more normal routine.
Worst Fill MPG: 15.1
Best Fill MPG: 23.0
Average Lifetime MPG: 18.4 (5.4 gallons per 100 miles)
EPA MPG Rating: 20 Combined (18 City / 24 Highway)
Best Range: 314.0 miles
Current Odometer: 2,496

Darksiders II - a new version for a classic game with HD graphics
Darksiders II goes next-gen – have a look at our new product range now
Darksiders II is an action role-playing hack and slash video game developed by Vigil Games and published by THQ (now Nordic Games). It is the sequel to Darksiders and was released in August 2012 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and as a launch title for Wii U upon the consoles' Australian, European, and North American release in November 2012. A remastered port called "Darksiders II Death-initive" for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One was announced for October 06, 2015 by Nordic Games.
Darksiders II plays parallel to the previous game. The Four Horsemen (War, Strife, Fury, and Death) are the last of the Nephilim, fusions of angels and demons who waged war on creation. To preserve the balance of the Universe, the Four, tired of conquest, received incredible powers from the Charred Council in exchange for slaughtering the rest of the Nephilim. The Horseman Death trapped the souls of his fallen brethren in an amulet, earning the title of Kinslayer, among others (though he kept its preservation a secret, since the Council ordered the Nephilims' souls destroyed).
While War is charged with his crimes, the horseman Death, sure that his brother is innocent, sets out on a personal mission to erase his brother's 'crime' and resurrect humanity. He has to go through many dark fights to proof War's innocence and to restore Earth. The Keeper of Secrets, also known as the Crowfather, tells Death that he must go to the Tree of Life in order to restore humanity. The Crowfather, bitter about being given the Nephilim amulet (which torments him without end), refuses to let Death pass and attacks him in the shape of War. Death kills Crowfather, but the Amulet shatters and embeds itself in his chest, knocking him out and sending him into a portal created by the Crowfathers' death…
Players take control of Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The core gameplay is an action role-playinghack and slash style. The game makes frequent use of interactive puzzle elements, requiring the player to think their way through a series of levers, doors, elevators, portals, etc. in order to traverse areas and reach objectives. It takes place in an open world that can be explored freely on foot or by horse. There are main and side quests with main and side boss fights. The player also has the ability to teleport Death to another "World".
Darksiders II has received mostly positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the Wii U version 85/100, the PlayStation 3 version 84/100, the Xbox 360 version 83/100and the PC version 81/100.IGN gave it a score of 7.5, saying "Despite its problems, I was compelled onward in my quest with Death because Darksiders II is simply a fun game". The game was the best selling game of August 2012 with over 247,000 units sold in the U.S.
As we know about the high attach rate of Darksiders players we decided to extend our product line of Darksiders II on occasion of the new release on October 06, 2015 with a replica sword of War, Deaths' face mask and our new statue of Death. Moreover we brought out some new t-shirts you should definitely have a look at:

Located on Onuku Road. The first known burial was 1863.
This cemetery is now full except for burials in pre-purchased plots and second interments.
There are good visual connections to Akaroa Harbour from the top of the cemetery and it is separated from the adjacent Akaroa Dissenters Cemetery by a row of trees and a post and wire fence. Both cemeteries are adjacent to the Garden of Tāne. Dense native plantings and exotic trees surround the two cemetery sites. A network of walking tracks connects the cemeteries to the Garden of Tāne.
The cemetery has associations with the early history of the local community.
There are a variety of graves and headstones from the older Victorian style plots with covers or kerbing to more recent modern upright stone memorials. The graves are orientated lengthwise in an east west fashion and are stepped down the hillside in distinct blocks with mown grass paths.

June 2007
The averaging period used for the following assessment was 1961-1990.
UK overview
Mean temperatures generally around 1 °C above average across the UK, although maximum temperatures across parts of eastern Scotland were over 1 °C below average. The majority of the UK having well above average rainfall, with rainfall anomalies widely over 300% across Yorkshire, with some areas having their wettest June on record. Sunshine generally below average across the UK, and exceptionally below average across parts of eastern Scotland and NE England, with some areas having their dullest June on record.
England diary of highlights
A warm and dry start to the month, but becoming increasingly unsettled. A sustained spell of heavy rain over Lincolnshire, most of Yorkshire and the Midlands on 24-25th, with widespread flooding being reported.
1st to 3rd: This was a transition period, prior to the development of a ridge of high pressure over the British Isles. An Atlantic low brought weakening fronts to the west and north, with some sharp showers in the north on the 1st and more general rain to the north on the 3rd. It was also very warm, with temperatures reaching around 25 °C in the London area on the 2nd. North Sea coasts began to be plagued by low cloud and fog.
4th to 12th: Ridge of high pressure slowly declining with thundery troughs affecting eastern districts. Many places were fine and warm at first, though the east saw relatively little sunshine after the 4th. Cloud became widespread across the country by the 7th and there were some heavy thunderstorms over East Anglia and the south-east on the 8th, with Herstmonceux reporting 33 mm of rain in 6 hours. It was still warm, with temperatures usually reaching 22-24 °C and up to 26.1 °C at Pershore on the 9th. The south-west and the north became showery later. Winds were generally light throughout.
13th to 17th: A deep depression south-west of the British Isles moved slowly north-east across the country, filling slowly. A spell of heavy and thundery rain pushed north across all districts on the 13th, giving 15.6 mm in an hour at Ellesmere Port. Heavy and thundery showers developed each day, giving some very high totals in places, with Edgbaston reporting 70 mm in 12 hours on the 15th. It was very warm and humid at first, with temperatures reaching 25 °C at Gravesend on the 13th, but it became significantly cooler as winds turned more northerly. Central and north-eastern districts saw the highest rainfall.
18th to 23rd: Low pressure dominated the weather, with a slow-moving depression deepening to the south-west of Cornwall before moving north-east across the country as it filled. There were some very heavy showers with some funnel clouds being reported, with 21.4 mm falling in an hour at High Wycombe on the 19th and flooding reported in Boscastle on the 21st.
24th to 30th: An exceptional spell of wet weather, with spells of rain or showers throughout most of the period. A deepening depression became slow-moving over the country on the 25th bringing a sustained spell of heavy rain to Lincolnshire, most of Yorkshire and the Midlands, with widespread flooding being reported. Many places recorded over 50 mm of rain in 12 hours and Fylingdales recorded over 100 mm in the 24-hour period ending 2100 UTC on the 25th. There were also very strong northerly winds in places, with a gust of 56 knots being recorded at Berry Head.
Wales diary of highlights
A warm and mostly dry first half of the month but then cooler and changeable with some heavy rain at times.
1st to 13th: High pressure affected much of the UK with mainly dry, settled and warm conditions across Wales. Temperatures up to 22 °C occurred for several days with a peak of around 26 °C in N Wales on the 11th. It was often sunny as well.
14th to 30th: In complete contrast, the rest of the month was entirely dominated by areas of low pressure giving typically unsettled and changeable weather that was often quite cool as well. There were thunderstorms and torrential downpours in some parts on the 14th, 15th, 18th and 19th and on almost every other day there were either further showers or longer spells of rain. Persistent and heavy rain on the 25th continued the unusually wet weather with up to 75 mm of rain in some parts. Although quieter conditions then affected the country over the next few days with generally lighter and more scattered showers, yet more heavy rain spread in from the west on the 30th.
Scotland diary of highlights
June was dull and wet over much of Scotland, although the Northern Isles had exceptionally below average rainfall and the Western Isles had above average sunshine.
Low cloud, mist and fog burned back to the North Sea with the 1st turning out to be bright or sunny, although the odd shower, some thundery, broke out through the afternoon and early evening. The temperature reached 20 °C quite widely away from the North Sea coasts. Haar lingered along some North Sea coasts on the 2nd, otherwise much of the east enjoyed bright spells until the evening with the temperature reaching 22 °C in the Borders. Rain spread into the west during the evening and continued eastwards through the 3rd, becoming lighter and more patchy. Misty conditions affected the coasts and the Northern Isles.
Temperatures ranged between 12 and 15 °C. The rain died out on the 4th with bright or sunny intervals developing. However, the Northern Isles and some parts of the north and east coasts continued to be plagued by mist and low cloud. Temperatures ranged from 12 °C in Shetland to a warm 20 °C across parts of Dumfries and Galloway. The 5th was similar with the sunnier south-west reaching 19 °C while north-eastern coasts stayed dull with temperatures nearer 11 °C. On the 6th the contrasts were greater with sunnier south-western areas reaching 21 °C, while Charterhall in the Borders managed just 11 °C. The 7th was again bright and warm in the west and cooler near east coasts. Thundery showers spread in from the North Sea during the evening bringing localised heavy rain to parts of Deeside, Angus, Fife and the Lothians. Lightning strikes caused damage and 27 mm of rain fell in one hour during the morning of the 8th at Leuchars. These showers continued to track north-westwards and more showers developed across Caithness and Orkney. Elsewhere, it brightened up, but remained dull along some North Sea coasts.
Low cloud and mist burned back to the east coast on the 9th with sunshine developing inland where Tyndrum and Tulloch Bridge recorded 25 °C, whereas misty Rosehearty only saw 13 °C. The 10th was rather cloudy although Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway and the Outer Hebrides enjoyed some good spells of sunshine. Orkney and Shetland also had a much brighter day than of late. During the evening some heavy and thundery showers moved in across the Buchan area and these persisted through the night. Prestwick recorded 22 °C. Similar conditions where experienced on the 11th, although the showers broke out over the high ground of Argyll during the afternoon. Once again, western districts had the highest temperatures at around 23 °C while Wick struggled to reach 14 °C.
On the 12th patchy rain edged south across the north and showers across southern and central parts became frequent and heavy, with thunder during the morning. During the evening the showers merged to give a more persistent band of rain, although the far north became drier. Rain moved south on the 13th and became confined to the south of the Central Lowlands through to the 15th. Further north it became mainly dry with sunny or clear spells. Temperatures reached 17 °C at Lusa, Skye, compared to 10 or 11 °C in the south. The rain spread northwards on the 16th, although Shetland stayed dry until the evening. It brightened up during the afternoon across the south, but thundery showers broke out during the late afternoon and evening.
The 17th, 18th and 19th saw rather grey conditions along some North Sea coasts with brighter weather elsewhere, although showers broke out across the higher ground during the afternoons and evenings. The temperature ranged from 13 °C in the duller east to 21 °C in the sunshine.
The 20th to the 23rd saw misty conditions along the north and north-east coasts. Elsewhere, sunshine and thundery showers. Daytime temperatures ranged from 13 °C in the duller east to 23 °C in the sunshine. 10 mm of rain was recorded in one hour at Bishopton on the 20th. Thundery rain developed around Stirling on the 23rd, with funnel clouds being observed above the Ochil Hills. Rain, heavy at times, spread southwards on the 24th leaving cooler, brighter, weather with showers until the 27th.
Persistent rain affected much of the west on 28th with scattered showers in the east. Heavy rain developed across the south during the evening and West Freugh recorded of 31 mm of rain overnight. Much of the country was bright with scattered showers on the 29th, but heavy rain at first in the north-east with Rosehearty seeing around 20 mm. The 30th started dry and bright, but rain spread north-eastwards - this being heaviest across Argyll. The temperature reached 20 °C at Kinloss.
Northern Ireland diary of highlights
Much of June was dominated by low pressure bringing unsettled weather.
The first day of the month started misty, but this cleared to sunshine and occasional showers and the temperature reached 20 °C quite widely. It was much colder during the next two days with spells of rain, particularly on the 3rd when Killowen recorded just over 40 mm from midnight.
The rain fizzled out across the east on the 4th and then the weather settled down. The 5th to the 10th was fine and sunny after the clearance of overnight mist. The temperature ranged from 20 to 25 °C in the west.
The 11th got off to a dry and sunny start but some heavy showers developed across western counties in the afternoon. It was another very warm day with Castlederg reporting a maximum of 26.4 °C. Isolated showers overnight developed into a large area of thundery rain across much of the country on the 12th with some locally-torrential downpours. Flooding was reported in Belfast and around Omagh, with daily totals on the 12th of 94.7 mm at Edenfel, 56.0 mm at Brookhall and 53.6 mm at Lough Fea. Rain continued on and off for the next few days then gradually dying out on the 16th. It was particularly wet throughout this period with 35 mm falling at Newry on the 13th and Helens Bay recording 42 mm and 48 mm on the 14th and 15th respectively. It also cooled down with Belfast only reaching 13 °C on the 13th and 11 °C on the 15th.
The weather warmed up from the 17th through to the 23rd with maxima reaching 20 °C by the 19th. It was unsettled with bright, sunny or clear spells and showers. A longer spell of rain occurred during the evening of the 19th when 20 mm fell at Ballypatrick Forest.
The showery weather continued through to the end of the month, but it cooled down with maxima in the range of 13 to 16 °C. On the 29th, these showers merged to give a longer spell of rain and Aldergrove recorded 25 mm. This rain cleared early on the 30th with bright spells and showers developing and the temperature reached a pleasant 22 °C at Castlederg.

When it comes to some of the wealthiest people in the world, one thing they all have in common is creativity. They've mastered the art of making money by using their imaginations to create great businesses, invent new products, and provide something that the consuming world would eagerly embrace. They all found creative ways to leverage their resources and capitalize on the things they were passionate about. That's the key to getting rich. Leverage your resources!
Anything can be a resource. It can be someone you know, somewhere you live, or something you know. Resources can be both tangible and intangible, and it's up to you to recognize what resources you have and put them to use already! For example, if you're familiar with sports, find a way to leverage that knowledge u have on the subject and use it to make you some money. Your knowledge on sports is a resource, now do you get it?
We all have resources but we often fail to recognize them and those who do identify their resources and put them to use are the ones who succeed in life. Identifying your resources is what makes the process of making money an art. It is an art because you have to come up with creative ways to use them to your advantage. I look at some of today's most successful entrepreneurs and I view their enterprises as works of art.
Here's a list of some of my favorite entrepreneurs who leveraged their resources to get where they today:
Mark Zuckerberg:
I listed Mark Zuckerberg here because he used his knowledge on computers to build the multi-billion dollar social network, Facebook. He started writing computer software when he was only in middle school and developed an expertise in computer programming. He understood that his knowledge was a valuable resource and it was evident that he knew what it was worth when he turned down jobs from Microsoft and AOL to enroll at Harvard College in 2002. He founded Facebook in 2004, and he is now worth over $13 Billon.
Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is one of the wealthiest people on Earth because he has mastered the art of making money. As a child he showed an interest in making and saving money, and displayed entrepreneurship selling chewing gum, Coca-Cola, or weekly magazines door-to-door. During his childhood, Warren Buffett also developed an interest in the stock market and investing.
He received his Masters in Economics from Columbia Business School where he studied under Benjamin Graham who is known as the father of Value Investing. Benjamin Graham was a well known author, investor and American economist that served Warren Buffett as a resource to gain knowledge and experience from. He is now the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and worth over $50 Billion.
50 Cent
I included 50 Cent in my list because even though he isn't a billionaire yet, he has made his fortune using creative money making strategies. I have been paying attention to 50 Cent's investments since he started G-Unit Records back in 2003 after the success of his debut album "Get Rich or Die Trying". 50 Cent leveraged the profits from his music to make investments in ventures outside of music.
These are some of my favorite entrepreneurs because they leveraged their resources and became rich with the art of making money. They creatively figured out ways to make money and became super successful because of it.
Thinking is the first step towards mastering the Art of Making Money.
What resources do you have?
50 Cent At It Again

New team at the top for Women of the Year
Women of the Year have announced its new Chair, Catherine Roe (UK CEO of global food service firm Elior) and new President, ITV journalist and news anchor, Julie Etchingham.
Catherine Roe and Julie Etchingham are the new faces at the helm of Women of the Year, which for more than sixty years has celebrated women's achievements, as a national charity (through the Women of the Year Foundation) and premier lunch event, to highlight women's contributions in the UK and internationally.
Catherine and Julie take over from former chair Jane Luca, Director of Public Affairs at ITV and ex-president, Sandi Toksvig OBE, TV presenter and comedian.
Women of the Year was founded in 1955 by the late journalist Tony Lothian (Marchioness of Lothian) because she wanted to highlight and celebrate the many and varied achievements of women.
Since then, it has gone from strength to strength as a lunch and as a movement to promote women's achievements. Each year, over 400 women are recognised at the annual Women of the Year lunch, attended in 2017 by Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall, and which honoured, amongst others, Dany Cotton, London's first female fire chief.
The lunch is supported by Barclays, the Prudential, Good Housekeeping and ITV's Lorraine programme where the viewers of Lorraine Kelly's popular morning show vote for their own 'extraordinary ordinary' winner. 'Women of the Year' also developed a charitable foundation, funding global projects to benefit women and has a thriving programme of events throughout the year.
The Women of the Year Lunch and Awards is one of the most significant gatherings of extraordinary women in the world. Strictly invitation only – every single guest is 'handpicked' in recognition of their personal contribution to society. From shepherdess to scientist, foster parent to foreign correspondent, activist to artist – being recognised as a 'Woman of the Year' is a unique accolade.
Of her new role, Julie said: "I'm delighted to take up the baton from Sandi Toksvig to become President of Women of the Year. In a year which marks a 100 years since women got the vote, and with women's voices being raised ever more loudly around the world in the bid for equality and fairness – there couldn't be a more exciting time to do it. I'm determined that Women of the Year will allow those voices to ring out ever more clearly – and from women of every background in Britain."
Chair, Catherine Roe, added: I am honoured and excited to take on chairing Women of the Year. The lunch is a very special event and the women who attend are incredible and inspiring. In chairing the management committee, I am also looking forward to working with volunteers who share a commitment to celebrating women's achievements from all walks of life, something which is very important to me personally, particularly in providing the role models for young women just starting out to have no limits, that everything and anything is possible'.
The 2018 lunch is Monday 15 October at the InterContinental Hotel, Park Lane, London W1

Lorraine Inspirational Woman of the Year Award:
Winner, Alex Eades said: "This is for my daughter Charlotte, she fought a long and hard battle and the last six weeks of her life took everything from her. She was paralysed, she lost the ability to walk and to talk. She finally gave in to her tumour on 5th February, she was told she was going to die that night and a subsequent three more times and she went on until 24th February. She was my best friend, this is for her."
Good Housekeeping Women of the Year International Award: The White Helmets
Anna Nolan Director of the Syria Campaign: "The video we just watched is from Masaa, a volunteer from Aleppo. Before the revolution, Masaa was a student, now she is one of 375 volunteers saving lives in Syria. The White Helmets have asked me on their behalf to thank Women of the Year for this honour, and they've also asked me to share their motto with you all today. It's taken from the Quran, and it says, 'To save one life is to save all of humanity'. The White Helmets have saved more than 97,000 lives around the world. These brave women remind us that we're all part of something greater. And even in the darkest of wars, love will always win."
Prudential Women of the Year Leadership Award: Dany Cotton
"Well, what a fabulous group of women in front of me. What an amazing, amazing lunch. I'm so very honoured to be given this award, and thank you so much to Women of the Year for honouring me in this way. This really, really isn't about me, this is about the men and the women of the London Fire Brigade. This is about the most fabulous team that I have the most pride to lead. Every day I look at myself and I am just so lucky to be the commissioner of the London Fire Brigade.
And whilst this year has been a really tough year, it's not a year you'd pick to start your new job. Things kept happening, and then some more things happened, and you start thinking to yourself, 'when will it ever be normal', and I think now is normal. This is the future we have but the men and women of our emergency services are absolutely fabulous. We go running into situations that other people would run away from.
One of the things I have launched today is a new campaign called Firefighting Sexism, and it's a simple campaign, it's just about challenging people to stop using the word firemen. I've been so inspired to be here and I feel so very honoured to be here."
Barclays Women of the Year Award: Manchester Emergency and Medical Services
Jane Luca, Chair of the Women of the Year: "As a Mancunian, I am not surprised to hear so many stories of strong women. After all, Manchester was the birth place of the woman who changed all our lives, she was of course, Emmeline Pankhurst.
Having recognised the work of the fire services, it is only right that we recognise the tens of thousands of women working in our other emergency services. So we have asked some of the women who responded to the Manchester bombing to accept our award on behalf of each and every woman serving in our Police, Ambulance and Health services up and down the United Kingdom."
Valerie Vaz:
"Finally, it was great to attend the Women of the Year lunch last Monday with other hon. Members. The winners of the awards are truly deserving. The leadership award went to Dany Cotton, the first female commissioner of the London fire brigade, for her leadership in response to the Grenfell Tower fire. The international award went to the White Helmets, as a favoured charity of our dear colleague Jo Cox. It says: "To save one life is to save all humanity".
The main award went to the women of the emergency and medical services following the Manchester bombing—doctors, nurses, paramedics, the deputy chief constable and community police officers. I know the whole House will join me in acknowledging the work that those women have done in difficult times, as we all work towards a more equal society."
Andrea Leadsom:
"May I start by absolutely sharing in the hon. Lady's praise for all those amazing women who won awards in the Women of the Year award ceremony this week? Our thanks and gratitude go to all those who contributed in the response to the appalling Grenfell Tower tragedy and those who rushed out to help after the Manchester bombing. I completely share her awe at what they have achieved."
The women of the year awards pay tribute to emergency and medical services here and abroad
Manchester Emergency and Medical Services, The White Helmets and The Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, Dany Cotton, are among those honoured at the star-studded event, which was attended by The Duchess of Cornwall
Barclays Women of the Year Award: Women of the Manchester Emergency and Medical Services
Prudential Women of the Year Leadership Award: Dany Cotton, Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade
Good Housekeeping Women of the Year International Award: The White Helmets
ITV's Lorraine Inspirational Woman of the Year Award: Alex Eades
The 2017 Women of the Year Awards pay tribute to the emergency response teams, both here and abroad. During the ceremony and lunch at the InterContinental London Hotel, Mayfair, the winners were recognised for their selfless professionalism and heroism.
Women of the Year president, Sandi Toksvig hosted a group of 400 specially invited women, all honoured as a '2017 Woman of Achievement;' who were selected for their resilience, resourcefulness, and selfless actions.
The Barclays Women of the Year Award was presented to Naomi Davis, Assistant Chief Constable Debbie Ford, PC Lauren Moore, Cath Daley, Vicky Wijeratne, Laura Prescott, Lea Vaughan and Shoba Manesh on behalf of the Manchester Emergency and Medical Services. When the bomb exploded in the Manchester Arena the women of the Emergency and Medical Services immediately galvanised into action. Everybody, from ordinary citizens to members of the emergency services and health care professionals behaved in ways that were way beyond the call of duty.
These women have been chosen by their own organisations to accept the award on behalf of each and every woman serving in our police, ambulance and health services up and down the United Kingdom. The award was presented by The Duchess of Cornwall.
Prudential Women of the Year Leadership Award was awarded to the Commissioner of the London Fire Brigade, Dany Cotton, in recognition of her incredible bravery and skill within hugely challenging circumstances, especially in recent times. Her positivity and openness when she talked about her own mental health challenges were very aspirational and has resulted in many more men and women feeling able to talk about their own issues.
The award was presented by Julie Etchingham, presenter and reporter for ITV News.
The world-renowned volunteer search and rescue group, The White Helmets won the GoodHousekeeping Women of the Year International Award, recognised for their unrelenting determination to helping those injured in wars and conflict situations. The heroic women, who are trained in medical care as well as search and rescue work and have so far helped thousands of survivors of the Syrian Civil War. The award was collected on behalf of the White Helmets by Anna Nolan, Director of The Syria Campaign.
Alex Eades was named as ITV Lorraine Inspirational Woman of the Year Award winner. Alex, 57, was acknowledged for her fundraising work following the death of 19-year-old daughter Charlotte in 2016. Charlotte was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer in 2015 and documented her journey on Youtube until she lost her battle. Despite her tragic loss, Alex has raised enough money to fund research into this type of cancer for three years. Alex continues to fight in Charlottes name, and to help others affected by the disease. The award was presented by Christine Lampard.
Sandi Toksvig, President of Women of the Year, said: "For over 60 years, Women of the Year has proudly recognised and celebrated the achievements of some of the world's most incredible and bravest women. These women range from the super famous to unsung heroines who are the backbones of charities, emergency and medical services, industries and indeed every profession possible. The remarkable women who make up the attendees and winners at this year's Lunch are being recognised for their work making the world a better place."
Jane Luca, Chair of Women of the Year, adds: "I am extremely proud of the 2017 Women of the Year Award winners and all 400 women of achievement who joined us today. This year's ceremony recognised and celebrated the bravery of women from our emergency, medical and rescue services both in the UK and internationally in what has been a challenging year. The stories of their heroism are endless.
As I step down and look back on my four years as Chair of Women of the Year, I am very proud that we have continued to shine a light on extraordinary and amazing women and this year is no exception."
Sponsored by Barclays, Prudential, Good Housekeeping and ITV's Lorraine, the event, which is in its 62ndyear was held at the Intercontinental London Park Lane. Every woman who is invited to the event has achieved something extraordinary in whatever walk of life she comes from. The lunch is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate their bravery, determination, compassion and success.

SAN BERNARDINO � Despite the support of three current San Bernardino County Supervisors, a 20-year veteran of the board in the county's 3rd District has been unseated by a San Bernardino Councilman.
Neil Derry won Tuesday's primary with 52 percent of the vote over 3rd District incumbent Dennis Hansberger, who served from 1972 to 1980 and was elected again in 1996.
"I want to create an ethics committee to keep an eye on the politicians," Derry said. "Because this self-policing policy hasn't worked very well."
Derry said he also plans on making himself very accessible, which he believes may have been one of Hansberger's weaker suites.
San Bernardino County 1st District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt � who also claimed victory Tuesday � was the only supervisor that did not back Hansberger with an endorsement and campaign funds.
Derry said he has already put that behind him.
"The election is over, we need to work together now," Derry said.
He added that he has already met 5th District Supervisor Josie Gonzales, and has known 4th District Supervisor Gary Ovitt and Board Chairman Paul Biane for several years.
Mitzelfelt and he have known each other since 1991, got into politics at the same time and are both former Marines.
Mitzelfelt said he is sad to see Hansberger go, but is excited to work with Derry. As the only Supervisor that didn't back Hansberger, Mitzelfelt said he could be an integral part of bridging any kind of divide that may initially exist on the Board.
Ovitt contributed $25,000 to a political action committee that was working on Hansberger's campaign as well as others.
"I absolutely believe that we'll be able to work rather well with Neil Derry," said Mark Kirk, Ovitt's chief of staff. "I look forward to putting all the politics behind us and working together on good solid policies."

Question by Miguel
(Barcelona, Spain)
George Garzone
Hi Marc,
I've seen that you use to practice Garzone triads quite a lot. I would like to know more about this device. Seems that there is much mystery around George Garzone's Triadic Chromatic Concept.
My understanding is that it consists in playing different triads in non-repeating inversions and approaching them by chromatic steps up or down. For example, C major root position (C E G) then Bb augmented 2nd inversion (F# Bb D), etc.
It seems that in this way you get a high degree of "outness" but because of the inner structure of triads there's a certain coherence to the whole thing.
So, can you develop a little about the whole Garzone triads thing? What are they, how do you apply them and how can you practice them?
Thanks a lot for your time and effort with this wonderful page that is helping me so much.
M-A's Answer:
Hello Miguel,
Indeed, I've been working on Garzone's thing for many months in row now. It has definitely helped my hearing abilities and improvisations.
I'm actually surprised at the "work vs progress" ratio that I've achieved : I thought it would take more time to show up in my playing… I guess Garzone's ideas and concepts just suit me like a glove. (Works well on guitar too!)
What is the Triadic Chromatic Approach? (AKA TCA)
Here's a great review of the 2 DVD set for the curious. (by David Valdez)
And here's a "masterclass" in Downbeat magazine (May 2009) discussing TCA.
The idea behind Garzone's triadic chromatic concept is twofold : Triads (connected by half steps) and "Chromatic Approaches" .
1 – Triads
Play either major, minor, diminished or augmented triads and "move them around" in random inversions (by connecting them with half steps.)
By avoiding repetition of the same inversion and moving by only a 1/2 step on each successive triad, the line is borrowing from the twelve-tone row.
Triads played in this fashion have a lot of forward motion and resolve often to the chord-tones of the moment. Simply by "luck", the odds are in favor of resolving these ambiguous lines! (you'll have to try it to hear what I mean.)
2- Chromatic Approaches
Playing "Random Chromatic Approach" as George Garzone explains is guided by two concepts :
- Select a major third on your instrument. (for example : C to E)
- Play randomly on any of the five notes within the selected interval without repetition or obvious patterns. (for example : C to E, use the notes C, Db, D, Eb and E ONLY!)
To avoid repetition (and sound as random as possible) is easy : within the major third, do not repeat de same interval consecutively in the same direction!
My "take" in this approach: Perspectives from a Jazz Guitarist
Here's what I think, in point form, of the TCA. I'm speaking only for myself here. (Want to know who's writing these lines? Here's a little about me… )
- The TCA is, first and foremost, a kind of "ear training" for me (see this ear training article). It's not just another tool to sound "out" or "free".
- The TCA made me discover new areas of the fretboard and different fingerings for triads.
- I cannot, will not and won't even try to apply TCA directly ("note-for-note") in my improvisations.I don't see the point in doing so. I personally work hard at the TCA simply to open my ears and fingers to different sounds and new possibilities….and honestly, I don't think even George Garzone himself applies the concepts when he blows! It's more of a practice tool than a literal way of playing. (I know some people have analyzed Garzone's solos only to find "incorrect" applications of the TCA!)
- The lines created with the TCA work especially well in deep, swinging, solid rhythms. (it's not just about melody!) George's time and rhythms are so strong that I believe that's why the TCA sounds so good.
- My whole playing and hearing in general started to change after only one or two weeks of working at the TCA.
- The TCA is guitar friendly. Garzone triads and lines sound good on the lowest strings. I've never really liked the sound of the low register on the guitar… but Garzone made me change my mind!
- The TCA will sound different from instrument to instrument and that's ok. It should also sound different from player to player (even if they play the same instrument!)
- I've been practicing the TCA with a metronome at slow tempos in various subdivisions of the beat: quarter notes, eight notes, triplets etc.
- I've been practicing the TCA with playalongs (usually slow blues). I'm trying to stick to the rules and stop the line when I HEAR it resolving. It's hard.
- I worked approximately six months at the major triads. I've just recently started on the minors. The bright sound of the major triads is just way easier to hear in random inversions!
Some Tips… Do's and Don'ts
Are you ready to practice the TCA? Some things to keep in mind:
- Just "T" : Start with just major triads. Also, when you move on, don't mix triads types. Practice the major with the major, the minor with the minor, etc. It helps you to "pre hear" the next few notes of the line…
- I repea : DO NOT mix triad types!!!
- Just "CA": Practice "Chromatic Approaches" by themselves in many registers of your instrument.
- Finally "TCA": Attempt to mix triads and chromatic approach (to give TCA) when you're solid at doing both separately.
- Start SLOW (really SLOW!) When I first started, I played quarter notes at 40 BPM and I could barely keep up!I even tried this : metronome set at 60 and I would perceive each click as a triplet. (meaning, actual tempo of 20 BPM) It's a test of patience but it's well worth the effort.
- Sing along with your playing (for guitarists, pianists and bassists). It's ok if you make mistakes. Try to "sing what you play" AND "play what you sing". The TCA will just sound much more lyrical to you (and others!) in this fashion.
- Play all the TCA stuff with a good, full sound on your instrument (in every register).
- Just play after TCA : Play "free" for a while immediately after you practice the TCA. (free form, free time and free "everything else") Listen to your lines and note choices. Notice anything different?
- Whenever you can, ask for a colleague to play a drone on piano or guitar while you practice the TCA. Just an open "C G" fifth will do. (or use the DVD's play along section).
- DO NOT attempt to "plug" any of the TCA lines into your solo (at least, not in public). If you do so, you will: 1- Look/Sound like a fool 2- Have missed the point!
That's all I got (so far). I hope it helps you Miguel (and other visitors), to understand the Triadic Chromatic Approach and how I'm practicing it.
Please feel free leave comments and questions at the bottom of the page.
Practice Well,

Comments for Garzone Triads : The Triadic Chromatic Approach
Nov 21, 2011
by: Marc-Andre Seguin (admin)
Hey Josh,
Perhaps it's a little too "early" for you. But you could also take a look at it now, learn what you can and then come back in a few months / few years for another pass.
What's great for beginners is you'll be forced to learn triads very well to apply the Garzone thing. Even if you spend only a week on the major triad, you'll get a lot out of it if you're a complete beginner. It should be completely new material, so you'll make strides fast.
Remember : one triad at a time! (-:

Too Early?
by: Josh G
I still consider myself a beginner jazz guitarist. Should I wait till later to work on this or try doing it now?

The fool who missed the point.
by: Infamous B. O. P.
Stumbled upon a Chris Crocco vid on youtube. He has some repeated lines that have come from this. That would lead me to believe there are some patterns that he is plugging in.
I do not have the DVD. So what you wrote here is very valuable information for me. Thank you.
I am the fool who missed the point. I read much info on the internets and compiled an approach that made some sense for me. I started out mixing triads. I practice over standards. I use them at gigs. Cats are always turning their ears with a smile on their face in a positive way.
I will now incorporate your proper method. I look forward to the new discoveries and freedom the approach will yield.
Is it OK to start on a diminished triad from the third of a dom 7th like I normally would? Or a minor triad from the 5th to get an implied 9th chord?
I love new sounds. Wonderful website!
(Note from Webmaster : Yes, you could start triads in this way if you like. Anything goes! M-A
Next, try your hand at some improv with our FREE guide!
This guide will teach you the very basics of jazz improv covering subjects such as outlining the changes, hitting the right notes, and most importantly making music. We'll cover the basics with you and take you through an actual jazz standard showing you how to play over it!

This is the second of a 3 part series centered around analyzing the pro's and con's of a colocation versus a Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) and figuring out which is better.
To read the first part in this series, please read Taking a Closer Look at Colocation .
DRaaS solutions are emerging as a popular and powerful new method for protecting organization data. But what is making DRaaS solutions so popular? I believe there are three primary reasons:
Cost – DRaaS offers users the lowest true cost of ownership. A monthly service charge is drastically cheaper than the costs of a colocation . There are no up front capital expenditures required and no long-term costs associated with maintaining hardware, software and facilities. The DRaaS pricing scales to match the resources used. This alleviates the requirement of the user to pay full costs of infrastructure and the user simply pays for what they use.
Ease and Flexibility – DRaaS allow the user to leverage turnkey operations that results in a much quicker protection process than a colocation can offer. No extra hardware or provisioning is required for setup. DraaS solutions also allow for a much greater protection-level flexibility than colocations can offer. The user is able to configure the protection solution as dictated by their own security needs rather than having a forced set of protection requirements as is often the case with colocation.
Specialized Support – Unlike colocation who's service span many different purposes, a DRaaS company has the single focus of providing disaster recovery and business continuity services. Because of this, DRaaS companies offer specialized support designed to help with the disaster recovery process and even planning.
Overcommitting Network Resources – Sometimes a DRaaS provider will overcommit their network resources. For example, it may have 100 subscribers, but are only able to handle up to 60 concurrent failover connections. This will result in degraded recovery performance for the user.
Geographic Proximity – Small DRaaS providers will suffer from the same geographic latency issues that colocation centers suffer. It is important that the DRaaS have multiple data centers in different locations. This can result in longer replication and recovery times for the user.
Large Disaster Recoveries/Failovers May Temporarily Increase Expense – Large recoveries will inadvertently use more resources which will ultimately increase costs. It is important to understand the pricing structure and know charges and fees outside of normal operations.
When compared to a colocation, DRaaS offers a more cost effective and highly specialized service. The user is able to protect infrastructure using only the specific requirements they need at a far more affordable cost. In the event the user needs it, DRaaS providers have specialized support trained to assist the user. These are all things that a colocation cannot offer.
Now that we understand the pro's and con's of each and have understood what each offers the user it begs the question; which is a better investment for business?
Tune in to the next blog to learn more about which solution ultimately is the best investment for businesses.

Killer spider in bunch of bananas shuts down nursery for a week
A DEADLY spider caused a nursery to close down for a whole week after it sprung out from a bunch of bananas.
Lessons were cancelled after the creepy-crawly jumped onto a teaching staff member's T-shirt and ran off.
Panicked staff at St John's RC Primary School in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, were advised by pest control officials to close the building until it was found.
The Colombian banana spider is the most toxic in the world according to the Guinness World Records.
Just one of its poisonous bites can cause extreme pain and inflammation, loss of muscle control, paralysis and even asphyxiation.
Bizarrely, it can also cause unwanted erections in men lasting up to four hours.
"It's certainly put me off bananas for a while"Jed Morgan, headteacher
Headteacher Jed Morgan said: "We didn't know if there were any other eggs in there so we immediately put the bunch into a bag and sealed it up.
"We got the pest controllers in and they advised that we should close the nursery.
"Ultimately it was my decision and I had to put the safety of the children first so we closed until the spider was found.
"It was certainly an unusual incident and I never would have believed it if someone had told me what was going to happen in advance."
Luckily, the spider was found dead on Wednesday before being sent to a lab and the nursery re-opened yesterday.
Worryingly, it is not the first time the spiders have been found in the UK.
The same species was found in a bunch of bananas in an Edinburgh supermarket in 2012.
And last year a family in south London had to leave their home for three days while it was fumigated after spiders started hatching out of eggs from bananas on their kitchen table.
Mr Morgan added: "It's certainly put me off bananas for a while."
Mmm, us too!

Today I graduated college after a 10 year journey. But that's not what this post is about. This post is dedicated to my children. My three gorgeous and amazing children.
My babies:
I want you to know that you can do whatever you want. The world is at your fingertips every minute of every day. You are the only person stopping yourself. It doesn't matter how long it takes – if you truly want to do something, do it. You have all the power in the world to be the best you can be and do whatever it is that you want to do. My goal to graduate from college was a personal goal, but by accomplishing something I set out to do so long ago, I hope you learned that you can also do whatever it is you want in life. I hope you learned that the journey is always worth it, even if it doesn't always go as planned. I hope you remind yourself that you can do anything; be anything. You three are my pride and joy in this world and I am beyond lucky to be your mother. I enjoyed graduation so much but I enjoyed it even more knowing that the three of you were looking up to me and so proud of your mom.
To my Hailie: I know that you are going to change the world. You are smart, driven, and have the biggest dreams. Go after every one of them. You can do whatever you want to do.
To my Aubree: My fearless little girl. You have that, I don't care what people think attitude and you go after everything you want. I hope you keep that spirit as you continue to grow up and achieve your dreams.
To my Chace: Though you are only three months old you are so happy. I know that just like your sisters, you too will do big things.
I am so proud of the three of you and so lucky to call you mine. If you ever have doubts, mom is always here to remind you that you are amazing, smart, loved, and that you can achieve anything and everything you set out to do.

Share on ThriftyFunThis guide contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
Heat an iron. Damp a face cloth. Put the face cloth on the item of clothing with the crayon or wax to be removed. Place the hot iron on the damp face cloth and move around for 30 seconds until wax or crayon is removed.
My two year old daughter decided to add some color to our new microsuede couch using various colors of crayon, I found if you use a very fine emory board (nail file) it takes the crayon right off, just go over the markings lightly until it's gone. Fine sand paper may work also, I would test it first in a small area.

Trailer Trash, With a Girl's Name
Jump in the family Winnebago and join Stacey Roberts on a hilarious and touching trip through a trailer-trash childhood.
This hilarious book, Trailer Trash, With a Girl's Name, is based on author Stacey Roberts's life. It's a gut-busting, side-splitting story that begins with Roberts's premature birth and then shares his family's experiences living in a Winnebago. This memoir is sure to make even the most cantankerous reader giggle, chuckle, or laugh out loud.
Roberts was born a preemie and, according to his mother, was not expected to live. But he does survive and thrive as best as can be expected, living with a mother who is a horrible cook, an older brother known as "Layne the Favorite," and his mother's various boyfriends and husbands, including Ted the Drug Dealer. Ted decides to buy a Winnebago, and the family spends five years touring the country and living in California and Florida.
Roberts has created an unforgettable cast of characters that borders on caricatures. Most have a descriptor with their names, which can change. Ted the Lightbulb Salesman becomes Ted the Idle when he quits his job, and then later morphs into Ted the Drug Dealer. Roberts also has a flair for humorous writing. He speaks of changing his name: "I needed the manliest of man names to go with my deepening voice and sudden werewolf-like hairiness." Some quirks need no exaggeration, such as his mom's tendency to mess up names and draw out her s, as in "SSSStace." Other things he alters or exaggerates for a laugh, such as his insults toward his mother's cooking: "My mother's kasha and bowties tasted like the wretched tears of a first-day prison inmate after lights out."
The writing is straightforward and easy to follow. Roberts uses numbered lists throughout the book instead of just naming the items in the narrative, both drawing attention to and simplifying the reason for the list. This is a pleasant way to communicate the writer's intentions. Instead of using sentences to include the many manly monikers he could change his name to (from the feminine name of Stacey) and his mother's responses to him, Roberts writes:
- Dirk Steel (Too metallic)
- Duke Rottweiler (That's a dog's name)
- Wolfgang Hammerstrike (That's a wolf's name)
- Gunner Ironcannon (We're not Vikings)
- Layne (That's your brother's name. What is wrong with you?)
The back cover tells just enough about the contents to be enticing, and the interior text is laid out in a visually appealing manner. One thing is overdone, and that is Roberts's tendency to tell a story and, in a later chapter, retell it in a shorter fashion, but with too much information. A reference to his mother's arsenic poisoning would be enough, but he states multiple times how she got poisoned.
Touching, disturbing at times, and all around fun, Trailer Trash, with a Girl's Name is an enjoyable ride.

Eastern Cape DestinationsGreenacres, Port Elizabeth
The leafy suburb of Greenacres, perfectly situated - if you consider its proximity to beaches, the main freeway system, the Kempston Road area and the airport - for those on business or holiday, is virtually synonymous with Greenacres shopping centre - described by some as the place to shop till you drop in Port Elizabeth.
Greenacres forms part of a kilometre-long complex with a plethora of shops, particularly on the Greenacres side (when combined with the adjacent Bridge Shopping Centre it is said to be the second longest under one roof in the country) where there are a score of smaller novelty and speciality shops, clothing boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and jewellery shops. Add to this the Greenacres Entertainment Centre in Ring Road, which includes tenpin bowling and a kids galore section, and youve got fun for the whole family - provided you can ignore the call of the beaches.
The beaches of Port Elizabeth, just minutes from Greenacres, are renowned as all-year round beaches that offer safe swimming and surfing in the gentle curve that makes up Algoa Bay. With two winner blue-flag beaches - Kings and Humewood beach - youre not short of beautiful places to laze in the sun, although youre likely to have to brave crowds if here on weekends or over summer holidays. Cape St Francis and Seaview Game Park, admittedly a little further afield, havent yet been claimed by the hordes and are worth seeking out for that reason.

Gets fitted for another World Championship Ring
DORR Wins on Saturday: Super Stock Truck Class Champion and World Champion
Mitch Dorr headed to Crandon for the final weekend of racing of the Sportsman Off-Road Series supported by MORR with two goals in mind. The first was to win the Super Stock Truck Championship and the other was to win another World Championship ring. The second-generation racer had some very tough competition, but was able to accomplish both goals halfway through the Labor Day Weekend event.
The weather for the Labor Day Weekend was unseasonably warm and the racing could be described in similar fashion. Twenty Super Stock Truck competitors were lined up door to door for one incredible land rush start. When the green flag was dropped the field made the 2000-foot charge into Potawatomi Turn One. Then as pack headed for the Barn Turn, Matt Siorek went into a violent barrel roll, somehow Siorek walked away from the incident, as the safety equipment did its job, but the race truck might seen its final time on the track.
The restart saw the field line up in row of two for a rolling start, this time the start went off with any issues. Quickly Mitch Dorr had the #897 Auto Trans Design Hi-Rev Graphics Super Stock Truck in the lead with Nick Byng attempting to keep pace with the white and black Ford F-150. Byng did his best to challenge Dorr for the top spot, but it just didn't have what it would take to catch the leader. At the finish, Mitch Dorr would take the win and clinch the 2015 Super Stock Truck Championship for the second year in a row. The win would also give Dorr his third World Championship ring of his career.
Mitch and the team only celebrated slightly as the truck needed to be prepped for Sunday's finale.
The final race of the season saw Dorr get the holeshot and lead the field through Turn One. Then on lap 2, while leading the race, a connecting rod punched a large hole in the engine block ending the day for the newly crowned Class and World Champion.
"Our goal this year was to back up our season long performance from a year ago," commented Mitch Dorr. "I pretty sure we did that. The points difference between and second place looks like we had an easy time this year, but every race was a hard fought battle. We say it all the time, but it's really true, more than half the class has a legitimate shot at the win every time out. You know I can't thank my friends and family enough for all the support and all the late nights back at the shop and at the track. I have to thank Charlie and Mike at Auto Trans Design for building an incredible transmission and they have always been there to make sure our truck performs it best. Of course I can't thank my mom and dad enough for the support, the hard work they have always put in, and always reminding me nothing comes easy and with effort comes rewards."
Mitch would also like to thank his sponsors:
Automatic Transmission Design – K & N Filters – BFGoodrich Tires
High Rev Graphics – AMSOIL.

New York train crash: Probe into crash cause begins
The US authorities have begun an investigation into the causes of Sunday's train crash in the Bronx area of New York in which four people were killed and more than 60 injured.
The 05:54 from Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Station derailed as it went into a bend in the railway line near Spuyten Duyvil station.
It was reportedly travelling faster than the speed limit in the area.
The train's event recorder, similar to a flight recorder, has been recovered.
The National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to the site with instructions to inspect the overturned cars and interpret information from the recorder. They are expected to be there for several days.
'Spinal injury'
The Federal Railroad Administration has also sent a team of investigators.
Officials have identified the deceased as Donna Smith, 54, James Lovell, 58, James Ferrari, 59, and Ahn Kisook, 35. Three of the dead were found outside the train, and one was found inside.
Of the 150 or so who were on board, 11 remain critically injured.
One man suffered a spinal cord injury that could leave him paralysed from the neck down, a doctor told CNN.
On Monday, a second data recorder was found in the train's rear locomotive. Investigators said they hoped to download information on the speed and settings of the train from that recorder.
Some 26,000 weekday commuters on the route were warned to brace for crowded trains on the first morning after the derailment.
Train service south of Spuyten Duyvil has been "suspended until further notice", the train's operator, Metro-North, said on Monday morning. Buses were being provided to the New York subway system.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said the bend where the derailment occurred was in a slow-speed area.
The train appeared to be going "a lot faster" than normal as it approached the bend coming into the station, passenger Frank Tatulli told WABC-TV.
The speed limit on the curve is 30mph (50km/h), compared with 70mph in the area approaching it, investigators said.
Metro-North serves commuters from New York City's northern suburbs. It is not part of the New York City subway system.
The accident was the second passenger train derailment this year for Metro-North, which, until Sunday, had never experienced a passenger death in an accident in its 31-year history.
On 17 May, an eastbound train derailed in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and was struck by a westbound train. The crash injured 73 passengers, two engineers and a conductor.
Eleven days later, a track foreman was struck and killed by a train in West Haven, Connecticut.
A freight train derailed near the same location as Sunday's accident in July, damaging about 1,500ft (457m) of track. No-one was hurt.
