More than a hundred people in Tokyo celebrated the New Year in a very unusual way - by taking
an ice cold bath.
Dressed in traditional white clothing, the men and women jogged around a shrine and chanted
before lowering themselves into the freezing cold water.
This purification ritual is a central tenet of Shinto, a Japanese religion that is as
old as the country itself.
So what exactly is Shinto?
Well, it's the largest religion in Japan, practiced by an estimated 80 percent of the
population.
Back in the 6th century, indigenous Japanese people invented the word Shinto to distinguish
their already existing faith from Buddhism, which was spreading throughout the region.
Over time, Shinto and Buddhism came to coexist peacefully.
Shinto is considered more of a way of life, rather than a specific set of beliefs, or
worship of a central deity.
Most Japanese people identify as both Buddhist and Shinto.
So, how can someone follow two religions at once?
Well, Shinto doesn't have many of the characteristics associated with religion.
Unlike Christianity or Buddhism, it has no official founder or sacred text.
Shinto does not try to explain the world in a sense of right and wrong, and thus, there
are no Shinto preachers or missionaries.
The only goal of Shinto is to be in touch with Kamil, or spiritual energy, through sacred
rituals.
These include weddings, funerals, worship at a Shrine or at home, and huge festivals.
The word 'Shinto' means "way of kami".
Kami is extremely complex, but basically they are sacred spirits that exist in earthy objects,
like mountains and trees, and in concepts, like fertility.
Kami also has an ancestral form, as humans become Kami after they die.
The Sun Goddess "Amaterasu" is the most important Kami.
In Japanese mythology, the royal family is thought to be descended from Amaterasu, beginning
with the first emperor, Jimmu.
It is thought that prayers and offerings to Kami spirits at Shinto shrines and festivals
will wash away evil spirits and thus purify a person or object.
This process is the lifeblood of the Shinto practice, happening on a daily, weekly, seasonal,
lunar and annual basis.
In fact, taking part in ritualistic worship and purification is the entirety of the faith.
This has garnered criticism, as some liken Shinto worship to a performance rather than
an act of devotion based on values and beliefs.
However adherents to Shinto think of rituals as a religious experience, one that binds
a community together even more so than shared beliefs.
Although Shinto is thousands of years old, it still has an active presence in Japanese
life.
For instance, new buildings are 'purified' by a Shinto priest, and many Japanese-made
cars are blessed during the assembly process.
Even Japanese-owned businesses built outside the country are often ceremonially blessed,
and receive annual visits by a priest to re-purify.
Japan's national sport, Sumo, is directly derived from Shinto rituals, and symbols of
purity can be found on the ring and on sumo garments.
Many Japanese people keep a tiny shrine-altar in their homes, and local shrines play a huge
role in communities, bringing people together for festivals, and hosting weddings and funerals.
Whether or not they identify as religious, virtually everyone in Japan is, in some sense,
a part of Shinto.

Shinto is a peaceful and generally positive religion, as it regards all humans as inherently
good.
Still, it doesn't hold the title of the World's Most Peaceful Religion.
So what does?
Find out in this video.
Even within the religion violence may be used to protect oneself or ones country.
One Hindu god states that violence is necessary in the defense of justice and does not conflict
with a spiritual life.

World of Warships - 1:42 Scale: Diana - Duration: 9:21.
1:42 SCALE
It's the end of the 19th century.
Russia is actively building a powerful ocean fleet, with destroyers forming its base.
Squadrons of these ships require cruisers for reconnaissance,
so the ship-building program included three protected cruisers of the same type
named after ancient Roman and Greek goddesses.
The lead ship of the series was Diana.
Names for the ships were chosen by the emperor Nikolai II. Diana, Pallada, and Aurora
are not only the names of the ancient goddesses.
The cruisers inherited these names from the Russian frigates
that became famous during the Crimean War of 1853 to 1856.
According to the ship-building program of 1895, the main reason for the program
was to bring the Russian naval powers up to par with the German forces and the forces of smaller Baltic countries.
The length of Diana was about 127 m, its width was about 16 m,
total displacement was 6,657 tons, and draft was almost 6.5 m.
Boilers and steam engines for all three cruisers were built by the Society of French-Russian Factories,
now the Admiralty Shipyard, in Saint Petersburg.
During sea trials, Diana reached a speed of 19 knots.
The steel for the cruiser was provided by the Admiralty Izhora Plants of Saint Peterburg,
and the deck armor was ordered via France due to the high load of the Russian factories.
The ship's main armor protection was its arch deck of 38-63 mm thick.
The conning tower had 152-mm round protection, and its roof was 51 mm thick.
During the design and building process, the composition of the artillery armament was revised a number of times.
In the end, eight 152-mm Canet guns became the ship's main battery.
The secondary armament featured twenty four 75-mm Canet guns.
The Diana-class cruisers became the first ships of this type to be built in Russia.
In general, they outmatched all first-rank cruisers previously built in Russia.
However, due to their prolonged build times, these ships became obsolete
and had lesser parameters compared to the next generation of cruisers—Bogatyr or Varyag—
that joined the fleet almost simultaneously with Diana and her sisterships.
Cruiser Diana was assigned to the Pacific Ocean Squadron right after she entered service.
As soon as October 1902, the ship headed to her place of service.
This hard cruise took half a year, and the cruiser visited 15 ports across three parts of the world during this time.
In April 1903, when Diana arrived at Port Arthur, the spirit of the oncoming war was already in the air.
On the night of January 27, 1904, Diana and Pallada became the first Russian ships to enter the war
by firing at the Japanese destroyers that suddenly attacked the Port Arthur raid.
During the famous Battle of the Yellow Sea on July 28, 1904, the squadron of Russian cruisers, including Diana,
was caught between two allied and enemy destroyer squadrons.
During the intense skirmish, Diana received a heavy hull breach below the water line from a 203-mm shell.
25 crew members were injured or worse.
However, when the Russian squadron turned back to Port Arthur,
the cruiser commander, Prince Anatoly Lieven, decided not to diverge from the initial mission
and tried to break through to Vladivostok.
In the falling dusk, Diana ran away from the Japanese ironclads and cruisers,
but it was impossible to avoid meeting enemy destroyers.
During the next four hours, the cruiser was consecutively attacked by 13 destroyers.
This is when the vast experience of commander Lieven,
who himself commanded destroyers for a while before assignment on Diana, was put to use.
Moving at full speed and changing course often, Diana, not opening fire or exposing herself in the darkness,
dodged the enemy torpedo attacks.
After breaking through the enemy encirclement and then evaluating damage and coal capacity,
the cruiser headed to the French Saigon, where she was later interned.
After the end of the Russo-Japanese war, Diana returned to Saint Petersburg.
Over the next 10 years, the cruiser armament was modernized several times.
The number of main battery guns changed and all secondary armament artillery were dismounted as useless.
Finally, Diana was equipped with 10 of the newest 130-mm guns.
During World War I, the cruiser was a part of the Baltic Fleet.
It defended the Russian mine-artillery positions in the Gulf of Finland and the Gulf of Riga,
and even took part in the raids against enemy communication lines.
On June 17, 1916, Diana and cruiser Gromoboi,
escorted by destroyers, went out to Gotland island at the center of the Baltic Sea
to intercept the German transport ships carrying iron ore from Sweden.
Due to bad weather and fog, the convoy was late,
but on the way, the Russian ships encountered eight German destroyers that covered the convoy.
Three Russian destroyers maneuvered and lured the enemy right to the cruisers.
The Germans went for a torpedo attack, but Diana and Gromoboi hit the enemy with the first salvo.
Powerful fire from the Russian cruisers didn't allow the enemy ships
to reach an appropriate distance for an accurate torpedo launch.
German destroyers launched about a dozen torpedoes
from an unfavorable position and rushed back to hiding in a smoke screen.
In the autumn of 1916, Diana returned to Helsingfors for the winter, where she entered the next year...
The last cruise of Diana was the famous Ice Cruise of the Baltic Fleet—
rescuing Russian ships from capture by German forces.
After her return to Kronstadt, the cruiser was disarmed and mothballed.
That's how the history of Diana ended. In 1922, the ship was used for scrap.

Samsung Electronics says battery defect was cause of Galaxy Note 7 fires - Duration: 2:53.
After months of intense investigation,... Samsung Electronics finally reveals the cause
of the fires in some of its Galaxy Note 7s. Kim Min-ji shares with us the what the apologetic
president of the tech titan's mobile division touched on at a press conference.
Samsung Electronics has concluded that batteries were the cause of some of its Galaxy Note
7s catching fire,... and not the internal structure of the handset or software.
"Samsung said tests were carried out on both batteries -- both the ones used in the original
phones and the ones used in the replacement devices.
It concluded the fires were caused by design flaws and manufacturing issues."
In the original battery A,... provided by affiliate Samsung SDI, a design flaw in some
cases triggered a convergence of positive and negative electrodes -- igniting a fire.
In the replacement battery B, which came from a different supplier,... there were welding
problems, which led to a short circuit and caused the copper to melt.
Samsung also called in global companies, including Underwriters Laboratories, to conduct their
own investigations -- all of which announced similar findings.
"We spent the past few months analyzing what went wrong from start to finish.
Although the cause was a battery defect,... we are responsible as we set the battery's
specifications,... and were not able to catch the problem before the launch of the Note
7."
Last October, Samsung announced it was ending production of the Note 7 -- just two months
after its launch -- following several reports of both the original and later replacement
devices catching fire.
The tech giant said it has implemented a broad range of internal quality and safety procedures
to prevent any recurrences.
It has also formed a group of external advisers, academic and research experts to ensure it
maintains a clear and objective perspective on battery safety and innovation.
"Samsung underestimated the danger of lithium batteries.
Samsung is not the only case.
Nokia had this problem, and you will see Apple iPhones exploding as well.
But it happened much frequently in the Note 7, and that was because of constraints -- big
battery in a very thin, compact device.
Samsung will now thoroughly test the stability and place more margin for safety, such as
sufficient space within the machine."
Experts say that while Samsung has been quick to clear up the situation in the wake of its
global recall program back in September,... the tech giant will need to make sure it follows
through with the lessons its learned... and work to prevent similar problems from erupting
with its next release.

100% Proof NASA is Lying About Pluto : Animation Reproduced #NASA - Duration: 4:01.
Hi, welcome, I'm Heathcliff of Lions Ground and I hope you're doing well.
NASA published on January 19, 2017, a colored version of 'Landing on Pluto' video.
"What would it be like to actually land on Pluto?"
NASA describes in the video description.
NASA claims to have used more than 100 pictures in the animation.
This is about photos made in 2015 in 6 weeks time.
What strikes me are the NASA photos, in particular planets, which are CGI or computer generated
images.
While NASA "NA-NA-NASA" claims 'they' were made by expensive space probes.
In this case, New Horizons. Yes! and my mother is an alien from Mars
The animation is so ridiculous that even 'I' can reproduce the NASA video 'Landing on Pluto'
in Adobe After Effects.
I've made the source available on my Patreon page.
In this animation, I used no more than 100 photos but four images to be exactly.
First I download Pluto texture from Google images, applied CC Sphere and animated it.
From there I finalized the animation.
Here is the result.
I will continue about this topic and other stories on my Patreon page.

VP at ELEAGUE Major. "The game was under full control, my friend". First game at the event | CS:GO - Duration: 4:51.
We're still in the Turner Broadcasting Studio building, where the Virtus.pro versus OpTic Gaming match has just come to an end.
Of course, the "Bears" won the match. And we're running to hear their comments right now!
What do you feel about the game?
We... We have a full control of the map. And we played better than Americans all the time. And we never lost against Americans.
They probably scared and had pants full of shit, so... Easy.
What happened at the start?
We... We need to work, you know, with the starts in the match, because in the past months we have a problem in the start and don't focus so much.
Probably to take some, I dunno... drink much more coffee or what, or something stronger...
And then we have to focus on, you know... the start.
Okay, okay, I see. You, guys, are the best team.
In the world!
Yes, in the world.
What do you think about your teammates?
My teammates are the best teammates in the world. They are not my teammates; they are my friends and family, my friend.
Snax, it seems like you were the best today. Your shots were amazing.
It's okay. I was just liking it.
How do you feel about the game?
I feel good, I think like we were prepared for the game, we just made not a lot, but some mistakes at the beginning, but then we've just gone straight.
We found some things in our mind, so it was easy.
Are you ready for the next game?
Of course, we are always ready!
When I was young, I was playing the darts... the, you know, darts with my father, we are going always to the tournaments.
I was fourth in my city. Darts... When I was, like, 13 years old and I was playing versus all the guys in the area, like normal dudes...
So, the guys teach me like you feel like a sportsman I was the best at beginning of darts, because they were calm.
Because of the sports, yeah. So that's what I'm doing, trying to do the same.
So, how do you feel about the game?
Cobblestone is the T-sided map. We had a really bad start. Pistol round should've been ours. Guys made a small mistakes in the 2-on-1 situation.
Then we won the first gun round, and then they reset our economy by winning the second one, so we were in a bad situation at the start, but then we came back and we had a good plan as terrorists, so...
Everything went pretty well. We had some clutch rounds from Snax, from byali and TaZ, so... It was a tough game.
And how about Snax? It seems like he was the good player for today and seems like he was the best.
Yeah, Snax is a monster. He's... When he's in the top shape, no one can stop him, and today he proven that. And let's hope he do that every day.
We had really bad start, but we managed to do a good comeback. I think that this is like how the year looks for us.
We had bad starts, but we're doing good comebacks.
What about your teammates? What about Snax?
Uh... He was playing really good. He was in his mood, so it was really nice to see him, but I think that we all need to step up for next games.
Yes, what do you think about the next game, are you ready?
I don't know how we're playing this, but we will be right.
Thank you! Go go go!
What can you tell about his smiley?
It makes me smile. It makes me laugh. It's the best smile ever.
He just gave me scary eyes right there. I like that he's the truth teller, he's always telling the truth. He doesn't care about, like, what people think, he tells the truth and that's what I love about him.
And he's going to be a good dad!
Thank you! Thank you, it's the most important part, that's the most important!

Kia Stinger unveiling - Duration: 6:47.
You can see Kia flags behind me. We're in Milan, but not to drive a car.
We're here to look at a car, because Kia is going to unveil the new Stinger GT.
We usually don't go to these events, but you were enthusiastic when Kia showed pictures.
I went to Milan for you to see what it looks like in real life.
Let's go inside and see what it has become.
Here it is, the new Kia Stinger.
It's cool. It's an awesome car to look at.
I'm going to check the interior in a second, but first I'll explain Kia's plans with this car.
If you think Kia will try to beat every BMW and Audi, you're wrong.
Kia knows they can't do that easily, but they have to make a statement.
Kia came to Europe in the early '90s and wanted to become one of the best and biggest brands here.
They have grown a lot in these years, especially in the last 10 years.
That's because they have very smart employees, recruited from other brands.
They got Peter Schreyer from Audi, who was responsible for the Audi TT
and the introduction of the single-frame grille; Audi's family face.
This is what Kia needed; a family face.
They hired Peter Schreyer to, first off, design a family face. This became the Tiger Nose.
The Tiger Nose is like the single-frame grille of Audi and the Kidneys of BMW.
It has to become the mark to recognize Kia by.
Of course, the Stinger GT has the Tiger Nose as well.
They used a tiger because it's a powerful animal with friendly looks.
They wanted these credentials.
Kia's main problem may be brand perception.
They're trying to change this. The Kia pro_cee'd GT was a small step, but the Stinger has to do more.
It has RWD, the most powerful version has a V6 with 365 hp and 510 Nm (376 lb ft) torque.
However, we probably won't get to see that engine much in the Netherlands.
There will also be a 2.0 gasoline engine, which will probably be more popular.
And a diesel engine with 197 hp.
These cars will probably come to the Netherlands, but Kia NL tries to get the GT V6 as well.
It's not certain if it'll come, but Kia is trying hard.
The handling should be great. Developed at the Nürburgring; you know the stories.
I think the outside looks great. There are similarities with the GT concept from a few years ago.
We're going to check the inside. I wonder if the use of materials lives up to the expectations.
This won't be a cheap car.
We're inside the car. I sat down in the back seat because there's more room here.
It looks good. They used a lot of leather.
An automatic transmission is standard.
The screen in the middle... I'm not a fan. I dissed Mercedes' screen as well.
It's not very sexy, and this one has an early '00s plastic rim.
A bit of a miss there. The round vents with metal buttons in the middle were borrowed from Audi.
Still, I prefer to see it stolen than they come up with a bad solution themselves.
In all, it looks good. Pretty materials.
It has a Harman/Kardon sound system.
It has analogue gauges with an LCD screen in between; no i-Cockpit-like things.
It's all here. The interior is no BMW, Audi, or Mercedes, but a step below these.
However, I think the outside is very cool. That makes up for something.
The conclusion for now... I can't say how it handles. I would love to drive it, but we have to wait.
It looks very cool. I think it has become a very pretty car.
Everything depends on the price tags it'll get.
Especially the Netherlands will be tough with our nice CO2 taxes.
The V6 emits a bit too much to be really interesting,
but lets hope some will come to the Netherlands.
Like the Giulia Q; a car of which 6 have been sold, but they're out there.

New Project - Truffle Carving - Duration: 2:39.
Hi everybody, I am Valeriano Fatica
and today I want to say something about my new video.
Dont' be surprised of my clothes, outside there is about 1 mt of snow and I just finished to shovel!
so, the next video
The next video is the result of 2 years of no more secret work
together with two friends of mine,
Siro Baccaro
and
Vincenzo Messina
In the past 2 years I published very few videos on Youtube
because I spent a lot of times working on truffles carving instead of other fruits.
Yes, truffle!
Siro and Vincenzo have a truffle products company
and they ask me to try a truffle carving.
The first year was terrible.
Work on a truffle is really complicated
respect on a watermelon.
I thought that truffle was similar to a potato
but its texture is completely different and it gave me a lot of problems.
We made many tests on different kind of truffles,
black and white as well.
Finally today we arrived to an end.
I an not 100% satisfied of the result
but I am never really satisfied at all...
so
Except of this video
we have another 4 works to be published
and 1 more video for 2018 Halloween.
Let me know what do you think about this my new work
I am at disposal for any question.
goodbye!
No, wait a moment, one more think.
If you never see me again
it means that finally I become rich so...
fuck you everybody and goodbye!

Acting president vows to continue denuclearization drive in New Year address - Duration: 3:01.
Seamless policy coordination with the Trump administration.
That's a key part of the Korea's policy blueprint for the next couple of months... according
to Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, Acting President of the nation.
National Security and Economic revitalization.
Song Ji-sun starts with this press conference by Acting President Hwang.
Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn vowed full defense readiness against any North Korean threats
-- military, cyberattacks or terrorism -- and said South Korea will continue to rein in
Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions via a strong alliance with the new Trump administration
in the U.S.
"We will continue to drive North Korea toward denuclearization through close coordination
between South Korea, the U.S. and the international community, with broad sanctions on North Korea"
Noting that North Korea's nuclear and missile threats are ever-present, Prime Minister Hwang
stressed that Seoul is committed to deploying the THAAD missile defense system as soon as
possible... to protect the nation and its people.
The acting president also commented on Korea-Japan relations, which have deteriorated in the
wake of a dispute over the installation in Busan of a statue commemorating victims of
Japan's wartime sexual slavery, which led Japan to recall two diplomats in protest.
Prime Minister Hwang said the statues are private property, and as such cannot be removed,
but that the government is making efforts to ease the tensions between the two countries.
"For the future of Korea-Japan relations, it is necessary that we gather the wisdom
to resolve the current situation on a government level.
So we are discussing the issue through various channels."
The prime minister also pledged to stabilize people's livelihoods... and manage potential
risks against rising uncertainties.
He called on the corporate sector to boost investment in youth job creation,... while
vowing deregulation and innovation to revive the economy.
"We are facing economic difficulties, but we will find the way to hope.
That route is open in all directions."
Prime Minister Hwang also invited political party leaders for talks with the government...
on countering any outstanding crises.
The press and the public were especially keen... to know whether he will run for president
in the next election,... as Hwang has arisen as a leading candidate for the nation's conservatives...
and his approval ratings are on the rise.
"But the prime minister was adamant that his focus is on normalizing state affairs against
potentially emergent situations, saying that's all that matters to him at the moment.
Song Ji-sun, Arirang News."

Samsung Electronics says battery defect was cause of Galaxy Note 7 fires - Duration: 2:53.
After months of intense investigation,... Samsung Electronics finally reveals the cause
of the fires in some of its Galaxy Note 7s. Kim Min-ji shares with us the what the apologetic
president of the tech titan's mobile division touched on at a press conference.
Samsung Electronics has concluded that batteries were the cause of some of its Galaxy Note
7s catching fire,... and not the internal structure of the handset or software.
"Samsung said tests were carried out on both batteries -- both the ones used in the original
phones and the ones used in the replacement devices.
It concluded the fires were caused by design flaws and manufacturing issues."
In the original battery A,... provided by affiliate Samsung SDI, a design flaw in some
cases triggered a convergence of positive and negative electrodes -- igniting a fire.
In the replacement battery B, which came from a different supplier,... there were welding
problems, which led to a short circuit and caused the copper to melt.
Samsung also called in global companies, including Underwriters Laboratories, to conduct their
own investigations -- all of which announced similar findings.
"We spent the past few months analyzing what went wrong from start to finish.
Although the cause was a battery defect,... we are responsible as we set the battery's
specifications,... and were not able to catch the problem before the launch of the Note
7."
Last October, Samsung announced it was ending production of the Note 7 -- just two months
after its launch -- following several reports of both the original and later replacement
devices catching fire.
The tech giant said it has implemented a broad range of internal quality and safety procedures
to prevent any recurrences.
It has also formed a group of external advisers, academic and research experts to ensure it
maintains a clear and objective perspective on battery safety and innovation.
"Samsung underestimated the danger of lithium batteries.
Samsung is not the only case.
Nokia had this problem, and you will see Apple iPhones exploding as well.
But it happened much frequently in the Note 7, and that was because of constraints -- big
battery in a very thin, compact device.
Samsung will now thoroughly test the stability and place more margin for safety, such as
sufficient space within the machine."
Experts say that while Samsung has been quick to clear up the situation in the wake of its
global recall program back in September,... the tech giant will need to make sure it follows
through with the lessons its learned... and work to prevent similar problems from erupting
with its next release.
Kim Min-ji, Arirang News.

N. Korea to collapse and reunification to come within 5 years : Thae Yong-ho - Duration: 2:35.
Former North Korean deputy ambassador to London, Thae Yong-ho, revealed his thoughts during
an exclusive interview with Arirang TV... that North Korean regime will completely collapse
and reunification will come within five years.
Oh Jung-hee has the details.
Reunification of the Korean peninsula is set to happen in 5 years or even sooner.
That's what former North Korean deputy ambassador to London, Thae Yong-ho, told Arirang TV chief
news anchor Moon Conn-young during an exclusive interview.
Thae said North Korea as we know it will cease to exist as soon as the Kim Jong-un regime
crumbles down.
"Right now, all North Korea people, and high-ranking officials know quite well that the current
hereditary system has nothing to do with true communism.
There is no more any Kim family member after Kim Jong-un.
When Kim Jong-un goes out, then I can say that reunification will come."
The former diplomat added the reunification of the two Koreas is more feasible than ever,
as there's no other person in the Kim family to succeed Kim Jong-un's position.
Thae entered South Korea in August last year,... and revealed that his disillusionment with
Kim's reign of terror prompted his defection.
Thae is the highest ranking official,... since Hwang Jang-yop, largely considered the author
of the North Korean Juche ideology, defected in 1997.
And since his arrival in South Korea, Thae has been expressing his willingness to devote
the rest of his life to the reunification of the Korean peninsula.
"Many people don't have any hope for reunification, and the recent poll shows that only 63-67
of general public support reunification.
But my personal determination is to try every possibility to reunify the country in 5 years."
Through the hour-long dialogue with Arirang TV, the former North Korean diplomat shares
his insights as well as details of life under the Kim Jong-un regime.
The exclusive interview will be aired at 9 PM on Tuesday January 24, Korea time.
Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News.

Kia Stinger unveiling - Duration: 6:47.
You can see Kia flags behind me. We're in Milan, but not to drive a car.
We're here to look at a car, because Kia is going to unveil the new Stinger GT.
We usually don't go to these events, but you were enthusiastic when Kia showed pictures.
I went to Milan for you to see what it looks like in real life.
Let's go inside and see what it has become.
Here it is, the new Kia Stinger.
It's cool. It's an awesome car to look at.
I'm going to check the interior in a second, but first I'll explain Kia's plans with this car.
If you think Kia will try to beat every BMW and Audi, you're wrong.
Kia knows they can't do that easily, but they have to make a statement.
Kia came to Europe in the early '90s and wanted to become one of the best and biggest brands here.
They have grown a lot in these years, especially in the last 10 years.
That's because they have very smart employees, recruited from other brands.
They got Peter Schreyer from Audi, who was responsible for the Audi TT
and the introduction of the single-frame grille; Audi's family face.
This is what Kia needed; a family face.
They hired Peter Schreyer to, first off, design a family face. This became the Tiger Nose.
The Tiger Nose is like the single-frame grille of Audi and the Kidneys of BMW.
It has to become the mark to recognize Kia by.
Of course, the Stinger GT has the Tiger Nose as well.
They used a tiger because it's a powerful animal with friendly looks.
They wanted these credentials.
Kia's main problem may be brand perception.
They're trying to change this. The Kia pro_cee'd GT was a small step, but the Stinger has to do more.
It has RWD, the most powerful version has a V6 with 365 hp and 510 Nm (376 lb ft) torque.
However, we probably won't get to see that engine much in the Netherlands.
There will also be a 2.0 gasoline engine, which will probably be more popular.
And a diesel engine with 197 hp.
These cars will probably come to the Netherlands, but Kia NL tries to get the GT V6 as well.
It's not certain if it'll come, but Kia is trying hard.
The handling should be great. Developed at the Nürburgring; you know the stories.
I think the outside looks great. There are similarities with the GT concept from a few years ago.
We're going to check the inside. I wonder if the use of materials lives up to the expectations.
This won't be a cheap car.
We're inside the car. I sat down in the back seat because there's more room here.
It looks good. They used a lot of leather.
An automatic transmission is standard.
The screen in the middle... I'm not a fan. I dissed Mercedes' screen as well.
It's not very sexy, and this one has an early '00s plastic rim.
A bit of a miss there. The round vents with metal buttons in the middle were borrowed from Audi.
Still, I prefer to see it stolen than they come up with a bad solution themselves.
In all, it looks good. Pretty materials.
It has a Harman/Kardon sound system.
It has analogue gauges with an LCD screen in between; no i-Cockpit-like things.
It's all here. The interior is no BMW, Audi, or Mercedes, but a step below these.
However, I think the outside is very cool. That makes up for something.
The conclusion for now... I can't say how it handles. I would love to drive it, but we have to wait.
It looks very cool. I think it has become a very pretty car.
Everything depends on the price tags it'll get.
Especially the Netherlands will be tough with our nice CO2 taxes.
The V6 emits a bit too much to be really interesting,
but lets hope some will come to the Netherlands.
Like the Giulia Q; a car of which 6 have been sold, but they're out there.

Young Koreans find pleasure in small purchases as spending trend takes hold - Duration: 5:12.
As you walk the streets of Seoul... you may have noticed that there are a lot more claw
machines around you.
Yes, those glass boxes inside which is a giant claw that you can operate as they descend
upon a pile of small stuffed animals like these --- it's a hit or a miss.
I obviously have a hit.
Data shows there are now more than 500 claw machine arcades in this country.
And apparently there is a trend or a social phenomenon behind the surge.
Our News Feature tonight with Lee Jiwon.
Ok Jin-seo is a young office worker on her way to meet a friend on her day off.
With a little extra time to spare, she stops by a cosmetics shop, and in no time, her basket
is full.
Surprisingly, though, it all comes to just over 27 U.S. dollars.
That's because most things were priced at about 5 dollars or less.
"I'm very happy right now."
"I come to these stores to shop at least once a week,... not just when there's a product
I need, but also when I get stressed out.
Spending money helps me relieve stress,... because I get to buy what I want.
It's not that much of a burden, because the prices aren't very high,... and I get to bring
home these new products."
Jin-seo is one of a growing number of young people who are spending their loose change
freely in a practice that's becoming more common among people of her generation.
It's even led to a new expression that describes the pattern -- tangjin-jam -- a combination
of the Korean words "to squander" and "fun."
"There are a lot of ways to put tangjin-jam into practice all over Seoul, including trying
your luck at a claw machine like this."
Whether the player is grabbing a prize -- or dropping it -- the machines seem to elicit
verbal expressions from onlookers -- either wistful sighs or outbursts of enthusiasm.
"Although it's almost never possible to get a prize in one go, leading people to spend
more money than they'd intended,... the machines have become popular these days."
In fact, the number of registered claw machine outlets has increased significantly in the
past few months.
The number jumped by about 24-percent in November,... from the year before.
People say they enjoy the game... because it offers a few moments of fun for a small
amount of money.
"It costs me between five and nine dollars to win a prize... and I often play for fun.
Considering the sense of enthusiasm and accomplishment I get from winning prizes, I don't see it
as a waste."
Experts say... that although not winning could lead to frustration, that's not the point.
"During an economic slowdown like this, there isn't much that young people can do for enjoyment
without spending a lot of money.
But these claw machines give them an instant surge of enthusiasm and excitement... for
just a few dollars.
Even if there's a possibility of not winning anything,... the fun people get from these
games is worth the small amount they have to pay."
There are also plenty of other places where people can buy things without spending much
-- such as this retail chain, which is the epitome of tangjin-jam.
It sells tens of thousands of products ranging from kitchen utensils to pet food and cosmetics.
But the real attraction is that most things are priced at less than five thousand Korean
won, or about 4 dollars, each.
And about 85-percent of the chain's sales come from products worth less than 2 dollars.
"Our products are high in quality and low in price,... and we have a wide selection
of goods,... so many young consumers come to shop... and they buy accessories, stationery
and other goods that fulfill their urge to shop, but at a low price."
So even if a customer buys a basketful of goods,... the burden on their wallet isn't
that great.
"I bought about 43 dollars worth of products today.
I come here often because I can shop and buy a variety of products at low prices."
While the spending pattern feels like a trend, some experts say it also reflects the economic
hardships young people are facing.
"Spending money gives people a sense of satisfaction, relieves stress and can be fun,... but with
the economic downturn, including high youth unemployment and rising prices, young people
can't participate.
And so that's what leads them to spend these small amounts of money... to do whatever they
want and fulfill their urge to shop."
Though some may say the practice is wasteful, others have praised young people for finding
their own small forms of happiness.
