Djokovic's 'Gangnam Style' moves at US Open!



Serbian tennis star and World No.1 Novak Djokovic showed off his dance moves on court with a fan while celebrating his comfortable straight sets triumph over Austria's Andreas Haider-Maurer in the US Open men's singles second round.


Djokovic's post-match interview was hijacked as one fan jumped down from the stands to cajole him into showing some dance moves while music blared out around the arena.

The nine-time Grand Slam champion seemed only too happy to oblige as the pair performed a short 'gangnam style' jig, which ended with Djokovic high five-ing his partner and putting on an 'I love New York' t-shirt, handily supplied by the fan, who also had one himself.

Gangnam' is a dance style popularised by South Korean pop star Psy.

"I'm glad that he came down to the court. It was not planned," Djokovic said during his press conference after the match.

He insisted that he had seen the fan, whose routine seems to involve stripping down layers of t-shirts while dancing outrageously, at his matches for five years.

"He's a true entertainer. Each year I see him in one of my matches, dancing, taking down the layers of the t-shirts. But, you know, it never gets old," he said.

After clinching his third Wimbledon title two months ago, Djokovic took to the stage with Serena Williams to become the first champions to dance officially since Bjorn Borg and Chris Evert in 1976.

Gold coin rush in the US!


Cheap gold is fuelling a gold coin rush in the US.

The US Mint official data indicates that sales of the American Eagle Bullion gold coins in August this year has soared over 300% to hit 101500 ounces, compared to 25000 ounces in the same month last year.

Despite seeing a three-fold jump, gold coin sales in August were 40% lower than the 170000 ounces sold in July.

Gold rates have dropped around 17% in dollar terms this calendar year, and had hit the year's low of $1080.4 per ounce in August. 

However, prices took support at lower levels and bounced back to touch $1160 during the same month. Gold is currently trading at $1140 a ounce.

The mint also reported a more than two-fold jump in American Eagle silver one-ounce coin sales to 4.935 million ounces in August, as against 2.088 million ounces sold during the same month last year.

Jewellers in India have also said that domestic consumer demand shot up during July-August against the backdrop of fall in gold prices coupled with buoyant wedding season demand.

The World Gold Council (WGC) has estimated India’s gold demand in 2015 at 900-1000 tonnes.

Demand is likely to be around 554 tonnes in the second half of 2015. The first half had seen demand at 346.2 tonnes for the yellow metal.

India's largest SUV maker rides into US market ... on a Scooter!


Ann Arbor, Michigan: India's largest SUV maker is ready to make its debut on US roads. But it's starting with two wheels, not four.

Mahindra hopes to win over city and campus dwellers with a $2999, Vespa-like electric scooter called the GenZe, which goes on sale this fall in California, Oregon and Michigan. Sales could soon expand to other states and Europe.

If buyers like it, Mahindra could use the GenZe as a springboard into the car market, just as Honda made the leap from motorcycles to cars here in the 1970s. 

The strategy has some risks. Scooters have never been as popular in the US as elsewhere - people in China buy as many electric scooters in a day as Americans do in a full year, for example. And consumers might not trust Mumbai-based Mahindra, which scrapped an attempt to sell vehicles here five years ago because it couldn't meet US safety standards.

"The pressure has really been on to make sure that we get this right," says Terence Duncan, the head of customer engagement for the GenZe and one of its chief designers. "What we're doing, really, is introducing the brand to American customers."

To appeal to skeptics, Mahindra designed the GenZe in Silicon Valley with features favored by tech-savvy Millennials, like a secure laptop charging port under the seat.

It opened its four stores in San Francisco and Portland because buyers there are more accepting of two-wheeled transportation. In Michigan, buyers can get a GenZe at the Ann Arbor factory where it's made.

The GenZe only goes up to 30 miles per hour, so riders won't need a motorcycle license. Its most innovative feature is a 28-pound removable battery, which riders can unhook and carry inside to charge. The battery takes 3.5 hours to fully charge, and the scooter goes for 30 miles on a charge. A 7-inch touchscreen display tells drivers their speed and range.

Only about 5000 electric scooters will be sold in the US this year, according to Ryan Citron, who analyzes the market for the consulting company Navigant Research.

Among them: the ZEV 2700 and the Bravo EVT-168, which cost about the same as the GenZe. By comparison, 30000 will be sold in Europe and 3.9 million in China, where electric scooters cost less than half the price of a GenZe because they use a cheaper type of battery.

Citron says about 46,000 gas-powered scooters will be sold in the U.S. this year. Any scooter has a tough time selling when gas prices are relatively low, he says.

Citron believes the electric scooter market will grow to around 20,000 annual sales by 2024 as companies like Mahindra and Oregon's Boxx Corp. enter the market. Another one to watch is Gogoro, a Taiwan-based scooter maker that wants to develop stations where riders can swap out batteries.

Mahindra is targeting college campuses and also plans to supply scooter-sharing programs like Scoot. So far, it has around 300 GenZe orders from people who paid a $100 deposit. The company expects to make around 3,000 scooters in the first year, Duncan says.

This isn't Mahindra's first attempt to crack the US car market.

The $16.9 billion conglomerate, which controls about 40 percent of the SUV market in India, began courting US dealers about a decade ago with the promise of delivering vehicles by 2009. But Mahindra had trouble meeting US vehicle regulations and canceled its plans in 2010.

Mahindra does sell tractors in the US, but wants to build its name in urban areas, says GenZe CEO Vish Palekar. So in 2012, it set up a small group in Palo Alto and told them to come up with a vehicle that would get people around cities more easily.

"If we're going to be relevant here, we need to create something transformative," Palekar said.
Mahindra hopes that eventually leads to the four-wheel market. It would be logical to target GenZe buyers with vehicles like the Reva e20 electric car, which will soon launch in Europe.

Executives are tight-lipped about their plans, but Mahindra has already opened a Detroit-area tech center that's working on bringing its vehicles up to US safety standards.

Doctors discover 26 cockroaches inside teen's ear!


A 19-year-old in the city of Dongguan, in the southern Chinese region of Guangdong Province, who went to his doctor complaining of a ear ache, was horrified when he was told that 26 cockroaches were living inside his ear.

Li, 19, recalled that he woke up in the middle of the night with an unbearable itch in his ear that grew increasingly painful, reports news.com.au.

In desperation, he stuck a finger in his ear and felt a sensation deep inside. However, his room mate found no trace of anything unusual.

The next day, Li visited the hospital, where doctors performed an endoscopy and found his ear was packed with cockroaches.

A female cockroach had been living in Li's ear canal for weeks and had laid eggs.

According to the doctors, if Li had not come to the hospital on time, his ear could have been severely damaged.

The incident, they said, caused severe congestion and a swelling of Li's right ear and had damaged the skin in the ear canal.
