Eye on Maoist
Privileged Maoist Kids and the Unfortunate Lot Who Were Forced Out of Schools by Maoists
Pen and books for your own daughter while guns for the daughters of poor ethnic people.
A Facebook page named "CPN UML Youth Campaign" posted a combo photo (above) recently with touchy captions: "Pen and books for your own daughter. Gun for daughter of ethnic people." [See details about the first photo below.]
Madhav Nepal Offering Daam to King Gyanendra on Coronation Day
The context: Election season has started (voting is slated for 19the November). Remember the 'famous' Madhav Nepal photo (right)– in which the UML leader is seen offering daam to King Gyanenndra on the latter's Coronation Day- that the Maoists circulated massively during the 2008 CA elections?
But this is not merely an election gimmick of a rival political party. The fact that a UML campaign circulated these pictures doesn't mean it undermines the credibility of the poignant message that these photos convey.
The truth is Baburam Bhattarai actually sent his daughter to the safety and quality education of schools in India (and, most recently, to China to learn the Chinese language!) while he forced many young people out of schools in Nepali villages arguing that they should reject the bourgeois education and join the revolution. Baburam's boss, Pushpa Kamal Dahal kept his son with himself as personal assistant while he sent many sons and daughters of poor Nepalis to front lines to be killed or injured. Baburam Bhattarai himself attended the same bourgeois education system and excelled at it. He attended a missionary high school in his home district Gorkha, went to college in Kathmandu and attended an Indian university (for which he seems to be very proud of). He should be. He should also have let thousands of poor Nepali youths to be proud of their education. But he and his party deprived a whole generation of Nepali youth of education. Ironically, most people who the Maoist party forced out of schools are from the same communities Prachanda and Baburam promised to emancipate from poverty and backwardness.

Who is Serious About Holding Elections?
April 3, 2013 Siromani Dhungana	2 Comments
Prospects of election continue to dominate the national discourse in Nepal but the key question is: are political parties serious about facing ballot boxes?
By Siromani Dhungana
The political arena hasn't changed since May last year when the then Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai and his party UCPN Maoist and their power-hungry Madhesi collaborators let the Constituent Assembly die without drafting a constitution. No political party has changed their stands on several important issues and their tones and (dual) stances remain same. Essentially, all parties have lost their credibility and it seems they are not really interested to go for a fresh mandate. In this backdrop, it is very difficult to believe that election, let alone a genuine, free and fair one, can be held anytime soon.
Chairman of the interim electoral council of ministers, Khil Raj Regmi, might have realized by now that ruling the country is entirely way more challenging than issuing the court rulings that he is used to doing. On the one hand, the government has not yet to fixed the date of CA polls. On the other, Mohan Baidya-led CPN-Maoist cadres have continued to disrupt the work of updating voter rolls in various districts forcing the Election Commission to suspend the work altogether. The problem here is that this non-elected apolitical government can do nothing against the organized political forces like the CPN-Maoist. In an interview with the website setopati.com, Chief Election Commissioner Nilkantha Upreti has clearly hinted that the poll dates may be pushed to later this year.

To Hold Democratic Elections, Supreme Court Chief Justice Becomes Prime Minister in Nepal
WHAT- Nepal got a new Prime Minister today. President Ram Baran Yadav appointed Supreme Court Chief Justice Khil Raj Regmi as the Chairman of the Interim Electoral Council of Ministers (basically the Prime Minister) of Nepal. Dr. Yadav also administered the oath of office and secrecy to Regmi this morning. Regmi became the PM because Nepal's top political parties, at war with each other and unwilling to accept leadership of the party other than their own, finally agreed on CJ Regmi's name for the leader of the electoral government to hold elections of the Constituent Assembly. It is believed that Nepali leaders, generally considered corrupt and incompetent, did so at the behest of foreign forces especially our southern neighbor.
GOOD? BAD? Both.
First, why it is good:
1) Regmi replaced Dr. Baburam Bhattarai as the PM. This is good. I had big hopes from Bhattarai when he became pm 18 months ago. But he turned out to be a utter disappointment. Just another corrupt man who promoted nepotism and favoritism and, through his wife, misused resources of state in a naked manner. So Bhattarai's exit is a relief. The Maoists were milking the state resource. I am not sure if that will be stopped entirely because the militant party in Nepal has the capability to extort and intimidate general public, business and government machinery even when they are not in power. Moreover, they have put in place many of their men and women in many plum and crucial positions in Nepali government machinery and administration that it will childish to say that their illegal flow of income from the state coffer will stop.
Now, why it's bad?
1) If you believe in democracy, its principles, constitutionalism and fairness in politics, you will be very sad with the way Regmi's name was proposed and appointed to lead the government. When he was appointed the prime minister, he was the serving Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Stunningly, he still is the CJ. He hasn't resigned. Now, where has that basic principle of a constitutional democracy called separation of power gone? And look at what happend at the Supreme Court today? It was supposed to hear on the writ filed against the appointment of the CJ as PM. But the hearing was differed because CJ was appointed PM merely an hour before the hearing was scheduled to begin. The whole concept of independent judiciary has received a big blow.
Those who are support the CJ's appointment as the PM argue that it was done to hold elections and provide an outlet to nearly 10-month long political deadlock. Okay, I get the point. But will an election which itself is an outcome of undemocratic exercise be able to provide solutions? It will be a step towards right direction if Regmi resigned from his post of the CJ.
Also, there really wasn't any constitutional way to appoint a new pm because political parties who were to work in conensious were not willing to accept each other's leadership. The only other option would have been to continue with BRB, whose legality was already in question, at the helm. Nepal's current flawed interim constitution provides only ways for a prime ministerial appointment: one, the person has to win a majority of votes in the CA which is no more. Two, the person has to garner the support of major political parties, namely the NC, UML and UCPN Maoist (called national consensus).
I am all for elections. My hands are etching to caste a vote (two votes actually). Yes it will be very hard for me to choose the candidate (or a party) because all of the partie that are likely to contest in the elections have been tried and tested and they have all disappointed us. I just hope that some good candidates show up in the elections and some really good leaders emerge out of the democratic process.
Some say they doubt elections can happen under this government. Some say, there are high chances for elections to happen (in November, not in July though) because parties do want to rule and the only way for them to go back to power is to content elections and win the votes of the people.
Now the danger is that we can fully trust this government either. It is because these bureaucrats (two former secretaries were appointed ministers today and eight more will be included in the cabinet) are accountable to none today. And people can not punish (or award) them in elections either. They may turn out to be even more corrupt. Bigger danger is that they may get unduly influenced to sign anti-national treaties and other provisions.

Sushil Koirala at the Helm of Nepali Congres: The Road Ahead
September 28, 2010 UWB	1 Comment
What does the strong showing of Sushil Koirala panel mean for the Nepali Congress and the broader national politics?
By Akhilesh Upadhyay
At least in short term, Sushil Koirala's election is less likely to have a more telling impact on national politics of Nepal than that of the three-time Prime Minister Deuba's would have had.
The much delayed Nepali Congress General Convention is finally done with. For now, the battle for succession is over. It is another Koirala. Acting President Sushil Koirala, 71, has consolidated his hold on the Grand Old Party as the elected chief for the next three years. Also, the Koirala panel holds a majority in the party's central committee. Prakash Man Singh beat the much fancied Bimalendra Nidhi in the crucial race for the General Secretary.
What does all this mean for the NC and the national politics at large?
But first let's gloat on the success of Gagan Thapa, 34, who got the highest votes at the GC. Gagan made his mark in the party—indeed the national politics—as a fiery orator, a student leader, taking squarely on the NC establishment in the early 2000s. He rode high on reformist agenda but, unlike so many other leaders, both young and seasoned, he had the gift to communicate his ideas effortlessly in large public rallies and the fast mushrooming political TV talk shows. The royal takeover in 2005 only gave him a broader stage to exercise his oratorical skills and expand his national reach. Gagan's mass appeal does not just come from his youth, which is obviously a huge asset. He has also been quick to move beyond his party veterans (and many young leaders) who speak a very convoluted political jargon—narrow-minded, partisan, and mostly suited for closed-door intra-party debates—uninspiring to the political centre, and indeed the apolitical class.

Gagan Thapa: Most Favoured in Nepali Congress
September 28, 2010 UWB	9 Comments
By Kamal Raj Sigdel
With 2,061 votes in his kitty, Gagan Thapa, 34, stands out as the most favoured among the 25 new Nepali Congress Central Working Committee members elected from the open competition.
Gagan Thapa means business. At a gathering of party colleagues and friends before the Nepali Congress General Assembly last week, the young Turk said he was confident of victory in the party's central working committee (CWC), "The challenge for me is to garner the highest number of votes."
The votes were all counted on Monday (27 Sept). And true to his words, he was the No. 1. With 2,061 votes in his kitty, he stands out as the most favoured among the 25 new CWC members elected from the open competition.
However, this was not a surprise for many inside and outside the party. For, it was discernible before the election that the young man had managed to shore up support from a multiple sections of the party's constituencies, including the youth, the establishment faction and obviously from his father-in-law, Arjun Narsingh KC, who stood only second after him.
Thapa himself, however, believes that his success is the reward for his loyalty to the party. "I remained disciplined at testing times," said Thapa, whose request for a ticket to fight for the 2008 Constituent Assembly (CA) polls was turned down by then party president Girija Prasad Koirala. He was later nominated as a CA member from the proportional representation quota. Continue reading Gagan Thapa: Most Favoured in Nepali Congress →

Nepali Congress General Convention Message: Unity Essential
By Anil Giri
[List of winning candidates]
For the record: With the final election results of the Nepali Congress on Monday (27 Sept) giving a verdict for a mixed composition of its 61-member new Central Working Committee (CWC) for a four-year term, maintaining 'unity' and working in tandem on national issues will be a serious challenge to both the Sushil Koirala and Sher Bahadur Deuba camps. The neck-to-neck competition and sizeable representation of the Deuba camp (29 CWC members) in the CWC may serve as a strong opposition to the Koirala camp (32 CWC members) in the party.
As the elected president, Koirala has the authority to nominate another 21 CWC members, subject to the approval of CWC. Many party insiders are hoping that the president uses his prerogative to heal the party after a divisive election.
One interesting feature of the election is that a majority of the new faces in CWC from the open and zonal seats are of the Deuba faction. Shanker Bhandari, Manmohan Bhattarai, Surendra Pandey, Jeevan Bahadur Shahi and Kishor Singh Rathor are the pro-Deuba new faces in the CWC.
The Koirala camp has secured 14 seats in the open category, 9 in zonal seats, 10 in reserved seats while the Deuba camp bagged 11 in the open category, 5 in zonal seats and 12 in reserved seats. There is speculation that some elected CWC members who contested the election from the Koirala camp but had been close to the Deuba camp, could return to the Deuba faction.

Nepali Congress: New Leadership, Old Challenges
sushil koirala
The 12th General Convention of the Nepali Congress on Tuesday (21 Sept) elected Acting President Sushil Koirala the party's new president. Sushil secured 1,652 votes in contrast to his contenders Sher Bahadur Deuba 1,317 and Bhim Bahadur Tamang 78. Fifteen votes were declared invalid.
As per the party's statute, a winning candidate must secure at least 50 percent plus one vote from the total turnout, which was 3,062 in Tuesday's election. According to the Central Election Committee of the party, 20 representatives, including founder member Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, who was critically ill, remained absent due to various reasons. Bhattarai had written a letter to the Acting President a few days ago expressing his inability to attend the convention as, he said, the NC had drifted away from its original ideology of constitutional monarchy.
nepali congress flag
The election committee had prepared nine different ballot papers to simplify the election process. The papers were prepared to separate the posts of different categories, including the president, office bearers, and CWC members from the open and reservation quotas.
Unlike the election committee's estimation that it would take 12 minutes in an average for a person to complete voting on the given nine ballot papers, the actual average time spent by a voter was 25 to 30 minutes. To speed up the election process, booth arrangements were made to enable over 40 voters to cast their ballot simultaneously.

Looking for a Prime Minister: Seventh Failed Attempt
September 7, 2010 UWB	1 Comment
For the record: Even the seventh round of the prime ministerial election in the House today failed to elect a chief executive, thanks to the CPN-UML's and Madhes-based parties' neutral stance. Now, the country will have to wait for nearly three weeks to see another round of the drama of the prime ministerial election. The eighth round poll in the House has been scheduled for September 26.
Yet, it is not sure that the eighth round of election also can elect a new prime minister as the parties are sticking to their old respective positions. The election has been postponed by three weeks due to the General Convention of the Nepali Congress (NC), a contestant in the PM election.
In Tuesday's seventh round of election, UCPN (Maoist) Candidate Pushpa Kamal Dahal and NC candidate Ram Chandra Poudel both failed to garner a majority vote.
Among the 521 lawmakers present during the voting, 252 voted for Dahal, and 110 voted against while 159 remained neutral in the proposal to elect Dahal as the new prime minister. Likewise, 119 votes were cast in favour of Poudel, and 245 votes against, while 151 remained neutral. Continue reading Looking for a Prime Minister: Seventh Failed Attempt →

Q: How to remove curly braces from a namespace I would like to know how I can remove the braces from a namespace and have it be closed with a semicolon (;).
actually:
namespace ProductsGroup{
  public void save{
  }
}

I need:
namespace ProductsGroup;
  public void save{
  }

A: Visual-Studio 2022 already offers this refactoring (and the reverse).
Additionally you can set a preference in Visual Studio's C# Code Style settings, and in .editorconfig.
More details: https://www.ilkayilknur.com/how-to-convert-block-scoped-namespacees-to-file-scoped-namespaces
Update: The above assumes valid code
In the question you have:
namespace ProductsGroup{
  public void save{
  }
}

which is not valid in any version of C#.
Top level functions can be used, but not with a namespace (all top level functions end up in a class, named based on the filename, in the root namespace).
Otherwise you need a type. So you can refactor:
namespace MyNamename {
  public class MyClass {
    public Task MyAsync() {
      // ...
    }
  }
}

to/from
namespace MyNamename;
public class MyClass {
  public Task MyAsync() {
    // ...
  }
}

A: Unless you are compiling against C# 10 with file-scoped namespaces, you can't do this. (Bold added)

A namespace_declaration consists of the keyword namespace, followed by a namespace name and body, optionally followed by a semicolon

A body requires curly braces.

Q: C++ external Function Names Overlapping Im currently working on a class in which i have a method called "connect" inside of it Im also calling the winsock function "connect". This of course causes the compiler to give me an error since it doesn't know what to do with it.
How can I address such a naming Problem in the best way?
I would like to keep my method name since it describes best whats happening.
I have no control over the name of the winsock function "connect" and even if I had I think it would not make much sense to rename it.
Im pretty sure this or something similar has been answered somewhere else but I was too dumb to find it.

A: While calling winsock standard function you can use scope resolution operator :: before the function name. i.e.
::connect(....params....);

And when you want to call your class function you can call the class function in following way -
this->connect(...params...);

Please note that, I have summarized the solutions suggested int the comments so that future user can get help.


Masakane Kagami, a ceramicist, has been making traditional Japanese pottery using the nearly extinct, Oribe and Seto styles of pottery.
the new pottery styles; namely the "Oribe style" and the "Kizeto style" were created by a fluke in Gifu prefecture, and many of tea masters were impressed and were attracted to these styles of pottery as they seemed to tea brewing. However, both the styles require intense labor and a highly skilled ceramicist and people gradually stopped using these styles.
Syuukai Kagami took over making Oribe and Kizeto pottery styles, following his father's legacy, who had revived traditional Japanese craft after 400 years as a miracle pottery. At that time, Chinese pottery styles were primarily used, although the Kizeto style was the first known traditional Japanese pottery style to be recorded in history.
The Kizeto style is mainly known for its beautiful yellow and brown shades and dazzled with the nature's picks like flowers. The designs on the pottery are unique as they are not repeated. This style has, by far, been the most difficult one to make and is known to "make ceramists cry". We make the pottery the way it used to be with the original clay. We hold pottery classes once in a while. The lessons will be scheduled, based on the number of requests from the interested parties. The interested parties may contact us through email. Our pottery is original and can only purchase from our gallery and at the workshop, you will not find it anywhere else in the world. Come visit us, and have a great opportunity to own one of the rare pieces of traditional Japanese pottery.


KPA EtherCAT Studio is a tool for EtherCAT network engineering, installation and diagnostics. This easy-to-use solution for EtherCAT based masters provides a set of functions required to create and handle master configurations and monitor EtherCAT network. It is integrable to other design environments to establish a common development workspace with extended functionality.


Not frozen attempts at burning or shining.
Unseen viewers and seen me.
How would I show my family to the earth?
Why will we need a door?
Why will we need a window?
all for whom? Who will look through?
observed? In the house but not hidden by it.
Part of the front lawn, stuck to the carpet.
Stars that glitter stuck on my ceiling.
Sun shines, screened into scorches.
the shower... can see the trees and the city.
Could you live in this glass special? A little clearer?

The first jewel in the crown that was formerly a vibrant upper Third Avenue has been placed.
Navi Star Marine Inc., which just purchased PY Marine, has relocated from its Fourth Avenue location to the building that houses The Great Canadian Video Network.
The facility and the former Zellers building next door are owned by the Coulson Group of Companies. Calls to the Coulson Group of Companies weren't returned by deadline.
PY Marine started moving into the facility in October. The building underwent plumbing and electrical improvements but a few small things remain to be done yet, service manager Mike Brouard said.
The new facility will house a boat and motor showroom, a parts department and a shop where boat motors will be repaired, he said.
The exterior of the building will be cladded with value added wood from Coulson's other operations. If all goes to plan then everything should be done by the new year, Brouard said.
The new facility is more than double in size than the old one, and that's a plus. "We'll still go by our former owner's vision but we'll be doing that in an expanded business area," he said.
The former owner of PY Marine is Paul Yuen, who owned and operated the business for 35 years. Yuen got his start in the boat business at Woodward's Marine, which was formerly operated in the location they just moved into.
Yuen tried to sell the business for more than a year. With no takers he was ready to shutter it until Navi Star bought it.
In another twist, Brouard tutored under Yuen for 20 years after he first broke into the business, he said.
The video store will remain, and another tenant will soon be sought for another space in the rear of the building. "People will come to a place that is safe and clean and we're benefitting that, Brouard said.

7 Surprising Things Your First Period Says About You
by Carey Rossi Published: Dec 18, 2014
Photo by April Choitz/Getty Images
Do you remember when you got your first period? If not, think harder because your doctor may soon be asking. In the last year, research has linked the age of first menstruation to health risks ranging from allergies and heart disease, to diabetes and cancer.
Scientists don't yet know the exact connection, but it may involve your weight at the time your period arrived. "Estrogen is tied to fat," says Taraneh Shirazian, MD, a gynecologist at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. So if you began menstruating at a young age, this could be a clue that you reached your "normal" adult weight early, thereby setting yourself up for obesity and all its related health woes later. Or it might just be genetics at work. "Women who have earlier first periods may have some factors that predispose them to disease," Shirazian explains. Until we know for sure, here's what the arrival of your menses might divulge about your health risks.
More From Prevention
According to a new study involving 1.3 million women published in the journal Circulation, those who started menstruating at age 13 had the lowest risk for heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure. Conversely, those who began at age 10 or younger (or 17 and older) had the highest risk, specifically 27% more for heart disease, 20% for high blood pressure, and 16% for stroke.

Women who got their first period before age 12 have a significantly greater risk of diabetes than those who got it later in life, according to a survey of about 4,600 middle-aged women published in Diabetic Medicine. "The early menarche increased diabetes by increasing insulin resistance," says study author Jung Sub Lim, MD, PhD.
This condition is marked by high blood pressure and protein in the urine during pregnancy. It then becomes a risk factor for stroke afterward. If your first period arrived before age 12, your odds of developing this life threatening condition while pregnant is about 28% greater than if menstruation started later, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research.
In a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, French researchers interviewed about 600 young women who were diagnosed with thyroid cancer before age 35, in addition to about 600 healthy women. Those with an early first period had a higher risk of the disease. Learn how to check your thyroid here:
Chinese researchers examined many different reproductive factors and how they contribute to brain tumor risk. One of their most striking findings was that women who didn't start menstruating until age 17 or later had an elevated risk of developing brain tumors.
Surveys of pre- and post-menopausal women reveal that a first period arriving at age 17 or older correlates with lower bone mineral mass and a higher risk of fracture from osteoporosis.
Researchers have found a link between early puberty and eczema, asthma, and rhinoconjunctivitis, especially among African-Americans and Hispanics. But so far it hasn't been determined whether it's early puberty that triggers these allergies, or vice versa.
If the arrival of your first period puts you at risk for one or more of these conditions, don't make the mistake of thinking your health is pre-determined. Lim and Shirazian both point out that a healthy lifestyle (being active, controlling weight, watching what you eat) can go a long way toward offsetting the risk.

A toolkit for creating MIDI applications with C#.
Aside from dabbling in BASIC on his old Atari 1040ST years ago, Leslie's programming experience didn't really begin until he discovered the Internet in the late 90s. There he found a treasure trove of information about two of his favorite interests: MIDI and sound synthesis.
After spending a good deal of time calculating formulas he found on the Internet for creating new sounds by hand, he decided that an easier way would be to program the computer to do the work for him. This led him to learn C. He discovered that beyond using programming as a tool for synthesizing sound, he loved programming in and of itself.
Eventually he taught himself C++ and C#, and along the way he immersed himself in the ideas of object oriented programming. Like many of us, he gotten bitten by the design patterns bug and a copy of GOF is never far from his hands.
Now his primary interest is in creating a complete MIDI toolkit using the C# language. He hopes to create something that will become an indispensable tool for those wanting to write MIDI applications for the .NET framework.
Besides programming, his other interests are photography and playing his Les Paul guitars.

Hyundai – so, what do you think about them now?
Posted: March 5, 2012 in Automotive
Tags: AJAC, canada, car of the years, Detroit, elantra, equus, genesis, Honda, Hyundai, sonata, steve kelleher, toyota
You can be sure that February 16, 2012 is a date that will long resonate in the hallways of Hyundai around the world – but especially here inCanada.
It was that morning when Richard Russell, Chair of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) opened an envelope and declared the 2012 Hyundai Elantra had been awarded AJAC's Car of the Year.
Just a few moments before, a room full of media from across North America exploded when Steve Kelleher, President and CEO, Hyundai Auto Canada Corp. made the short walk to the podium to accept the "Best New Design" award for 2012 for the new and innovative Hyundai Veloster.
For Hyundai, this morning was, indeed a moment to savour.
Earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show on January 9, the Elantra was selected as the North American Car of the year for 2012.
A double honour; one that many had been quietly debating around water coolers and in the shadows for some weeks.
Validation for the Korean-based manufacturer who has slowly convinced many auto journalists and aficionados over recent years that their engineering, value proposition and fluidic styling were the real deal. In fact, back at the beginning of 2009 those two exact same awards were bestowed upon Hyundai's rear-wheel drive sports coupe, the Genesis. What made this award all the more special was that the three finalists for this honour were all Korean manufacturers. Hyundai with the Accent and the Elantra and sister company, Kia, the upstart, new kids on the block, with the Optima.
No longer would Hyundai be considered a one trick pony – pun completely intended.
Now, the general public will have to pay attention to another Asian manufacturer of well-engineered, value-laden and stylish modes of transport for practically every budget.
Later the same morning, I was able to sit down with the affable Mr. Kelleher for a quiet, far-reaching and informative one-on-one interview as he and his staff slowly began to realize the enormity of their accomplishment.
DT: Congratulations on this win. Feel any different today than you did yesterday?
SK: Thank you. I have to admit that it was all a bit nerve wracking early on. While we did have finalists for two of the three cars, there was always the thought what if we split the vote? Even with the Veloster's win earlier, we were still unsure.
DT: Now do you believe that consumers will afford Hyundai the respect that you deserve? Do you see a pay off now for the value proposition – that and the fact that you may now be more than just a rational purchase?
SK: We're not about bragging rights. We do what we do very well and have been consistent in our styling, engineering and value-proposition for some time. It's true that in the early years, we struggled. No question. But we stayed our course and made it through. 2011 was where many things went very well for us as a manufacturer and a marketer. From a consumer point of view, in the past, we would be perceived as a rational purchase – the price was right. But now, we offer a complete package. It's not multiple choice. Now a car buyer will look at the design, the technology, the performance, the mileage – and, of course price and is more likely to want to buy us! Becoming an emotional purchase? That's a change for us that while slow in coming, has built in momentum. We need to maintain that and build upon it.
You know, Japan has been looking at us for a few years now – as has Detroit. We believe that Japanese manufacturers will work very hard to regain any lost market share from 2011 as a result of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and later flooding inThailand.
We respect our competition. All of it. It makes us stronger and hopefully better. We expect that Honda, for example, will do what they do best with their marketing and product, and will likely regain some of the market share they lost in 2011. Our goal is to build upon our successes.
DT: The Elantra saw an overall increase in sales acrossCanadaof 30.1%, representing 44,970 vehicles. This January, Hyundai sold 7,460 vehicles, an 11.6% increase over last year. Where do you believe your sustained growth is coming from?
SK: It's a well-known fact that sales in Quebec and Eastern Canada for our various models have, until last year been the heart of our combined efforts inCanada. It's practically been that way since 1984, our first full year in Canada. Ontario consumers have been rewarding us over these last few years with significant increased purchases. Approximately 20% each year. In fact, inCanadawe are fortunate to have enjoyed 37 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth. It is our belief that going forward, we will likely not lose ground as far as market share goes. But we are not going to rest on our laurels and expect results.
Going forward, we need to continue to offer our loyal customers the innovation, styling and pricing they have come to expect. This morning, we unveiled a 2-door coupe of the Elantra; later this year, an exciting all new Santa Fe will be rolled out.
DT: So, complacency is not about to set in any time soon?
SK: (smiling) Let's hope not! We're serious about who we are and what we can do. As a global corporation we're proud and pleased to be in the position we are today. But we keep thinking "what have we done lately?" Just a few days ago I was in Korea for a series of meetings with head office. I also spent time in our design facility. The Namyang R&D Centre located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi (about one hour south of Seoul) is a world-class technology research centre. Hyundai now employs approximately 10,000 engineers, designers and researchers here working around the clock to create and develop the best automobiles in performance, quality, and eco-friendliness. A year ago, it was around 8,000.
DT: Since Hyundai came to Canada, you made it clear that value-pricing and innovation was going to be your calling card. The Pony arrived with three price points: $3,999; $4,999; and, $5,999 – almost take it or leave it. Should what you are accomplishing today inCanadaand many other major markets come as a surprise?
SK: Yes, the Pony! It's true; we made no secret of our planned intent from day one. In many ways, we took what many of our Japanese friends were already doing and stayed pretty much on message.
DT: How does Hyundai consistently package great styling, quality and technology for such a great price?
SK: Obviously, we have been true to our intent. We work hard as a corporation to keep manufacturing costs as low as we can. We have the added advantage of producing our own steel inKoreain our own plants. Hyundai is a global entity with a great deal of vertical integration. Stepping back, consider the message – some would say commitment – from our Chairman Mong-Koo Chung. He stated that in 2011 Hyundai Motor Company would launch a campaign to ensure the energy for growth with a new slogan: "New thinking. New Possibilities."
DT: Meaning?
SK: Simply, new ideas create new values. Hyundai will respond to the fast-changing international management environment by constructing a system for organic cooperation between production factory and sales headquarters in each country worldwide.
DT: So there is buy-in around the world – including Canada?
SK: Yes. Absolutely. Our corporate team and dealer network has been working harder to prioritize our customers and also the talent in all departments. It's important we remain competitive. We will continue to do so through exceptional and even fundamental technologies; with environmental management and by continuously expanding our overall R&D and investment in eco-friendly vehicles. Hyundai Motor Company will work hard to provide this new value to yet more customers.
We call it our modern premium concept. We need to give our customers the best car per dollar. What it means is that we put the features in the vehicle that people really want and need. Features in a compact car that are unheard of. Heated rear seats in the Elantra for example. We look at our competition. Very closely. We also noticed that some manufacturers were losing some of the quality on the interior. We made it clear internally; there could be no compromise. No damage to the integrity of the brand.
DT: In a relatively short space of time, Hyundai has turned the industry on its ear. Now you have a line up of vehicles that can cater to almost any budget. Starting with the Accent and all the way to your super-premium Equus – the flagship marque. Is being all things to all people a misstep?
SK: It's tough to sell both. Each buyer's wants and needs are so different. Two things: Equus and Genesis as a halo have done a lot for us as a manufacturer. I think they're brand builders. It adds credibility. But is it the right move? Maybe… perhaps. Let's look atToyota for example and their Avalon. Similar situation to ours. Do they sell many? No, not really. But it does sell and it does not seem to affect their brand – overall.
DT: OK then, so why create an Equus… a Genesis? Because you can?
SK. (laughs) Well, there is truth in that. But regardless, at this stage, if we do bring product to market, even with limited production, it must still be designed and built with our core principals in mind.
DT: Where do you see the industry going long-term?
SK: Long term? This year? Next year? Five years from now?
DT: Do you see more hybrids, for example?
SK: There'll be variations. They may not sell well. But they will be there. We need to produce them for many reasons, optics included. However, technological innovations for the internal combustion engine will continue. Remember our engineers were the first to bring out gasoline-injection. Everything you can do to increase efficiencies will continue to be developed. We mentioned our steel plant earlier. We're now producing lighter, much stronger steel than before. This year? The light truck market will continue to do well, but will probably slowly decline – unless gas prices go really high. Probably flat, over 2011. Perhaps a 2 – 3% increase across the board…
DT: Does Canada have much influence in Korea as far as product development is concerned?
SK: Well, the Elantra for North America has heated rear seats. Not available elsewhere.Canadadoes have influence, definitely. From the get go, Canadian input from this cold weather climate market was important. We even set up a cold weather test facility here.
Getting back to your earlier question; I also believe that there will be greater innovation in 4-cylinder engines – from everyone – and especially ourselves. Turbo-charge technology will continue to be developed to bring performance and economy to the fore. Wait until the all new Santa Fe comes out…
DT: Yes…?
SK: (grinning) That's about all I'm allowed to say right now! But it is something. You'll see soon enough!
DT: Are there similarities to the car market in Korea compared to Canada?
SK: The fundamental difference is that larger cars are the norm; just like in Japan. OK, so that's a generalization. The car market in Korean is pretty much the same size inCanada. But look around the roads for Hyundais and you'll see more Genesis, Equus and of course Sonata than you will our own compact and sub-compact cars.
DT: Now that's a trend you'd like to emulate here.
SK: Yes, but as long as we can sell and make competitive automobiles for any market, that's our job.
DT: Thank you.
