US Buyers Aren't Buying 2015 Hyundai Sonata More Conservative Looks
While it may be too early to assess the commercial success of the 2015 Hyundai Sonata, sales figures don’t look promising, as the sedan is off to a slow start in the U.S.
The all-new sedan may have received encouraging reviews from US media, with Consumer Reports describing it as very competitive, but its design is seen by many as too bland to convince buyers. A failure for the Sonata in the United States would be a big blow, as the country is the model’s second-biggest market after China.
Launched in June in the U.S., the 2015 Sonata has struggled to keep up with competitors such as the Nissan Altima and Honda Accord both in terms of pricing and appeal. Hyundai sold 41,994 new Sonatas in the first four months following its U.S. launch, which is 13 percent fewer than its predecessor.
“The new Sonata product super-exceeds the previous model in every way, shape, or form. But consumers are very much driven by what the vehicle looks like,” Scott Fink, chief executive of Hyundai’s biggest U.S. dealer in New Port Richey, Florida, told Reuters.
It appears that Hyundai’s decision to make the new Sonata less bold and more angular than its curvy predecessors in order to appeal to more conservative buyers in South Korea is backfiring in the U.S. But things aren’t going well in South Korea either. Hyundai sold 6,861 Sonatas in September, nearly half from 11,904 in April when the model was launched.
For 2014, Hyundai reportedly has a U.S. sales target of 92,500. In order to meet that goal, the automaker needs to sell nearly 17,000 new Sonatas a month for the rest of the year. So far, the Sonata’s average monthly sales are 10,500.

The trailer itself is apparently quite matches the one that caused a frenzy at Comic-Con, only it is cut out of a lightweight comic start when the Avengers trying to lift Thor's hammer, and added new conclusion with Ultron ("There are no strings on me.") . Joss Whedon said about the film that completely waves with the current form marvelovského universe and the composition of figures that during the attack the dictatorship of the robot (which inadvertently created Tony Stark) releases against each other.
Just below the Linked two minutes we can see fights between the Hulk and Iron Man armor in the new "Hulkbuster" or fielding Thor Tony Stark's neck. Whedon, it has certainly nachystaného more current teaser trailer So let's take as an attractive showcase of things to come. Most magnificent scenes logically have to confess, but even so again please see familiar superheroes together, as well as several newcomers (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, unknown role of Andy Serkis).

Gaël Lopes : comment "Rising Star" a rendu hommage au candidat décédé
Ambiance particulière sur le plateau de Rising Star ce jeudi soir : la production a en effet tenu à rendre hommage à Gaël Lopes, l’un des candidats du télé-crochet décédé dans un dramatique accident il y a quelques jours.
M6 avait ainsi annoncé que le prime de cette semaine serait dédié au jeune homme de 25 ans qui faisait partie des favoris du programme. En fin d’émission, les candidats encore en lice se sont réunis sur scène pour interpréterPrayer in C de Lilly Wood and The Prick, le titre qui avait permis à Gaël Lopes d’être sélectionné par le public lors de sa première prestation dans Rising Star.
Le chanteur est mort tragiquement samedi après une chute du quatrième étage survenue en raison de « bouffées délirantes » selon ses proches. Il sera inhumé le 27 octobre prochain au Père Lachaise, à Paris et une cérémonie publique d’hommage et d’adieu sera d’ailleurs organisée. « C’était une soirée particulière pour nous » a déclaré Faustine Bollaert à l’issue du prime hier soir. « Gaël était dans tous nos cœurs, dans toutes nos pensées ce soir. Gaël, on ne t’oubliera pas.
Diwali: An Indian Festival Goes Global
Indians the world over celebrated Diwali this Thursday, as did U.S. President Barack Obama.
Many Indians celebrated the festival of Diwali this Thursday. Diwali is the largest festival in India, celebrated throughout the country by most of its religions. Diwali originated in popular Hinduism and commemorates the return of the incarnate god Rama to his home of Ayodhya after an exile of 14 years, during which he defeated the demon Ravana. The story of these events can be found in the popular epic, The Ramayana. Other regional tales in India associate Diwali with events of the life of the incarnate god Krishna. All in all, Diwali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil.
Diwali is also important in Jainism and Sikhism. Jains believe that the teacher of their religion in this era, Mahavira, attained nirvana on Diwali. Sikhs believe that their sixth Guru freed himself and various Hindu kings from a Mughal prison and arrived at the Golden Temple (the most sacred Sikh temple) on Diwali. Diwali is also celebrated by Christians and Muslims in India (and by some globally) for its moral message and by many Buddhists in Southeast Asian countries due to its association with the highly popular Ramayana. Finally, Diwali also coincides with the new years in many regional South Asian calendars.
This confluence of many factors makes Diwali the largest festival celebrated by Indians, both inside and outside of India. Just as Christmas emerged over time in West as the biggest holiday from a sea of local feast days and saints days that covered most of the calendar, so too as Diwali emerged as the largest, dominant Indian festival in a culture where literally every day is some festival or another. Although Diwali has always been a large festival celebrated throughout India, it is only in the last two decades that Diwali has become such a big festival, due to the impact of commercialism and modernism. While there is definitely an unwanted element of crass consumerism in modern Diwali, it helps to have a large festival that individuals can celebrate and focus on, giving people a day to come out and celebrate together. Urbanization and modernization have made it impossible and impractical for individuals to remember or celebrate every single festival as their ancestors might have in their villages, so the emergence of a large festival allows people to concentrate on celebrating at least one festival in style. During Diwali, sweets are distributed and lamps lit, creating a very festive and bright atmosphere.
Diwali also enables non-Indians to focus on and recognize Indians throughout the world on a specific day. Although presidents and prime ministers around the world have been congratulating Christians and Muslims and holding Christmas and Eid al-Adhafunctions for many years, it was only recently that the emergence of Diwali as the major Indian celebration has allowed for a similar focus on a day for Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs. It was only in 2009 that a president of the United States, Barack Obama, began hosting Diwali celebrations in the White House.
This year, President Obama continued the tradition of celebrating Diwali and released a video extending his warmest wishes for the festival. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose to celebrate Diwali with Indian soldiers at Siachen Glacier, a high glacier in Kashmir known as the world’s highest battlefield. Siachen Glacier is located at the border of India’s and Pakistan’s zones of control in Kashmir, near the Chinese border, and features a heavy Indian military presence. Modi thanked India’s soldiers for enabling everyone else in India the opportunity to spend a joyful Diwali, and promised major reforms after Diwali. Numerous other public figures and individuals celebrated Diwali in their own ways. Readers can see some pictures of Diwali celebrations here andhere.

Google shuts down Orkut after a 10-year run
NEW DELHI: Internet search titan Google has finally downed the shutters of its social networking website Orkut. However, users can save their profiles, scraps, testimonials and community posts via Google Takeout service till September 2016.
Google in June had announced that it will shut down Orkut on September 30, marking the end of a 10-year run. Orkut was the first social network to hit it off on a large scale in India, even as other websites like Hi5 and MySpace failed to catch the fancy of India's internet users in mid-2000s.
However, as Facebook made inroads in India, Orkut's popularity started waning, and Mark Zuckerberg's website overtook Orkut in terms of user base in the country in 2010. Google eventually launched new social networking initiatives like Buzz and Plus to recapture market share in the social networking space.
