Changing my identity to this one thing completely changed my habits…..
I have never believed in affirmations. My favorite social scientist debunked their effectiveness, one of the main reasons being that we are contrarian in nature. So if I say, "I am a good leader," I am going to think about and recall reasons why I may not actually be a good leader. (You can read on or listen/watch the podcast here)
So, long story short, I didn't really buy into affirmations…and then I finally sucked it up and got the Miracle Morning.
I heard a lot of my clients talk about the book. I had never been so interested in it because I hate the mornings. But my friend knows the author, and I wanted to get on a podcast. So I read it.
These affirmations were different. Instead of saying…"I am blah blah blah," it's suggested to say, "I am committed to blah blah blah."
Now, THIS is a believable statement. It doesn't send our minds into contrarian mode, and it also leaves a bit of room for error. If I make a mistake, it's not such a blow to my identity because I haven't said, "I am this person," I have said, "I am COMMITTED to being this person."
Here are my 3 affirmations:
I am committed to being a good CEO and giving the power to my team and not keeping it for myself. I am committed to being healthy – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I'm committed to being present with my family.
And it's been working!
Success is an accumulation of habits right? One of my favorite bloggers is James Clear, and his book Atomic Habits just came out. The second chapter of the book is on why habits fail.
Most people change their external to improve their internal, but we tend to not stick with it because if the habit isn't linked to our identity it's really hard to maintain.
We don't want to act in a way that is inconsistent with our identity.
What if instead, we started with changing our identity first.
So I thought about why those affirmations worked. I changed my identity to "I am committed to being this person…" and then the habits to match that identity started falling in place.
Could you make this change to your habits as well? How would this impact your business?
I challenge you to make statements about who you are committed to be in your business:
- I am committed to being a referral generating machine.
- I am committed to being a good leader
- I am committed to being brave
- I am committed to sticking to my plan and staying focused.
If you change your identity to someone who is a referral generating machine- would you remember to ask? Would you perfect your verbiage? Would you learn more about what the best people think and do? What habits would you start? And what would the results be?
If you changed your identity to someone who is committed to being a good leader- how would this change your behavior? Would you listen better? Enroll in a leadership course? Follow great leaders on social media? What habits would you start? And what would the results be?
Can you imagine?
Thanks for reading today's post! Let's continue this conversation of getting things done in your business. I am getting together with a few people on Wednesday, November 28th at 9:30am PT/12:30 pm ET to talk about focus. You can register by clicking the link emergesalestraining.com/focus

OBERLIN, Ohio - The Saint Mary's cross country team took 17th place in a field of 26 teams at the Oberlin Inter-Regional Rumble on Saturday morning.
No. 9 regionally-ranked host Oberlin won the event with a team score of 77. Case Western, who is ranked fifth regionally, was second with a score of 86. Baldwin Wallace, who is ranked sixth regionally, was third after tallying 115 points. The Belles had a team score of 442 and were 16 points behind Penn State-Behrend in the team standings.

Sarah Allen ran a 24:16.5 to record a new 6k PR while placing 87th overall and earning 79 points.

There have been changes to the instant asset write-off.
Using the simplified depreciation rules, assets costing less than the relevant instant asset write-off threshold are written off in the year they are first used or installed ready-for-use. This threshold applies to each asset irrespective of whether the asset is purchased new or second-hand.
So, in simple language what does this all mean?
If your assets cost less than the relevant instant write off, are written off in the year they are first used, or installed for use, immediately. This applies to newly purchased assets or second-hand assets.
An asset must be first bought and used or installed ready-for-use in the year you claim the deduction under the simplified depreciation rules.
Example: A trailer that was purchased and stored in the shed but not yet fitted out for the intended business purpose would not be eligible.
Leslie is a florist and her business required a new van to help expand her deliveries. Leslie purchased a van for $22,500, which was paid for on 23 January 2019. Under the terms of the contract, delivery for the van was on 30 January 2019. The van was not ready for use until after the 29 January 2019 when the threshold increased to $25,000. Leslie is able to claim the entire cost of the van as part of the instant asset write-off in her 2019 income tax return. If the van had been delivered before 29 January 2019 and she started to use it at the time of delivery, Leslie would not have been able to immediately write-off the van.
If you are a small business (with a turnover of less than $10 million) (by turnover, we mean aggregated turnover, you can immediately deduct the business portion of most assets that each cost less than $30,000 if they are first used or installed ready for use from 7.30pm (AEDT) 2 April 2019 to 30 June 2020.
So, in simple language what does this all mean?
If you're a small business with a turnover of less than $10million, you can immediately deduct the business portion of most assets, IF they are used or installed ready to use - between dates 2 APRIL 2019 to 30 JUNE 2020.
The cost of an asset includes both the amount you paid for it and any additional amounts you spent on transporting and installing it ready for use. The cost also includes amounts you spent on improving the asset. If you are registered for the goods and services tax (GST), you exclude the GST amount you paid on the asset when you calculate your depreciation amounts (and your instant asset write-off threshold is exclusive of any GST). This is because you will claim as a credit the GST paid in your activity statement for the relevant period. Our examples assume your business is registered for GST and unless otherwise stated, the GST has already been excluded.
So in simple language, what does this all mean?
Those assets, the fridges, the expensive Commerical Catering Equipment can be written OFF in the first year you installed them. And you can purchase NEW equipment again during this FINANCIAL YEAR.
For ALL your COMMERICAL CATERING NEW EQUIPMENT requirements,
please contact NICO or OLIVER 1300 368 911

As a YouTube fan and a self-proclaimed lover of discount anything. I follow several homesteaders and homeschool moms who are also into saving money.
I have been couponing for years and have had great success. I often manage to get free or nearly free items not only for our home but for our extended family and non-profit organizations.
But even with the success we've had, we can always do better.
While watching a YouTube video, I noticed that two of the ladies often mentioned shopping at their local "discount food store".
Well, what the heck is that?
I live in a small state and have never heard of any store, with the exception of Aldi and Save-A-Lot, mentioned when discussing discount foods.
But I know those stores are not what the ladies meant. So, off to Google I went.
Well, I learned about food reclamation centers. These centers are where food not sold in stores for a variety of reasons is sent.
From there it is sold and shipped to discount food stores where it is then sold at a major discount to consumers.
Some states have up to 10 of these types of stores. My state only has two (the same store has 2 locations). Unfortunately, neither of these is close by.
So, FAMILY MINI ROAD TRIP!
Upon arrival we found a very busy parking lot and folks coming out with full carts.
Our discount store is divided into three sections.
One area is for an ice cream bar which my family said had the best ice cream they have ever had.
The second area is comprised of household items. I found a lot of interesting things not found in local stores, and the prices reflected that truth. The things sold there were expensive but did appear to be quality.
The third, final and largest section is for groceries. The store was arranged very similar to Aldi in some ways. The items are not beautifully arranged neatly onto dusty shelves. Instead, the boxes of items are opened and neatly placed in its final location, box and all.
Some of the items are there because the packaging had an old advertisement (think movies on a cookie package) and now the movie is out of the theaters.
Some things are close to the expiration date.
Some were uncommon flavors.
And some things are just…there. We couldn't figure out why.
The store sold everything from fresh produce, dairy products, candy, baking goods, sweets, and it even has a large frozen food section. The largest area is packaged goods, which are not the healthiest of options. Everything that is found in a regular grocery store is here.
We got great deals on snacks (many were 6 for $1), frozen salmon fillets (very large for $2), family-sized box of fish sticks ($2), stuffed shrimp, and a lot more.
Popular brands of iced tea were sold, by the case, for less than the cost of one bottle in a regular store (12 bottles for $2.50).
For a full cart of food, we spent $75.
So, to me, it's worth going online to check your local (or not-so-local) area for a discount food store and have an open mind.
It's important to know that what you find today may be gone tomorrow. So, if you see it and you want it, buy it.
Oh, I forgot to mention. The most awesome part of the store is the store's deli section.
Yes, a fresh deli section.
Their subs (hoagies to some) are delicious! The sandwiches were heavy with deli meat, cheese, and toppings. All bread used for the sandwiches are made in-house, and I must say that I have never had such tasty, soft, sub rolls in my life.
One $6 sandwich fed the 3 of us (my daughter couldn't finish her portion and my husband barely finished his).
Although we had to drive almost an hour to reach our destination, it was well worth it. We will be making a trip there once a month.
So again, take a trip online and try your area discount food store.
Happy Saving!

BENEFITS OF THE 3-YEAR SUPERLEVY SCHEME MUST BE AVAILABLE TO FARMERS WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY – O'LEARYDairy
IFA National Dairy Committee Chairman Sean O'Leary has welcomed the announcement that, as stipulated by IFA, the 3-year superlevy repayment scheme would not exclude farmers with smaller superlevy bills, and would allow farmers to move to a new milk purchaser without the full bill becoming immediately due, provided a new agreement under this scheme is established with the Department and the new milk purchaser.

A team of 200 priests comment on daily Gospel
Liturgical day: January 4th (Weekdays of the Christmas season)
Let the sea and what fills it resound, the world and those who dwell in it; let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains shout with them for joy before the Lord.
The Lord comes; he comes to rule the earth; he will rule the world with justice and the peoples with equity.
Gospel text (Jn 1,35-42): As John was standing with two of his disciples, Jesus walked by, and John looked at him and said, «There is the Lamb of God». On hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. He turned and saw them following, and He said to them, «What are you looking for?». They answered, «Rabbi (which means Master), where are you staying?». Jesus said, «Come and see». So they went and saw where he stayed and spent the rest of that day with him. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard what John had said and followed Jesus. Early the next morning he found his brother Simon and said to him, «We have found the Messiah» (which means the Christ), and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, «You are Simon, son of John, but you shall be called Cephas» (which means Rock).
«'Rabbi, where are you staying?'. Jesus said, 'Come and see'»
Josep Mª
MASSANA i Mola OFM
(Barcelona, Spain)
Today, the Gospel reminds us of the vocational circumstances of Jesus' first disciples. To get ready for the advent of the Messiah, John and his friend Andrew had listened to, and followed for a while, John the Baptist. One day, John the Baptist, points out to Jesus, by calling him the Lamb of God. On hearing this, John and Andrew understand that He is the long-waited Messiah! And, by leaving the Baptist, they set to follow Jesus.
Jesus hears them behind. He turns and sees them following. Jesus and those unassuming men exchange glances. They remain captivated. Jesus' gaze turns their hearts over and they feel the need to stay on with him: «Where are you staying?» (Jn 1:38), they ask him. «Come and see» (Jn 1:39), answers Jesus. He invites them to remain, to see, to meditate.
They go, and they contemplate Him while listening to Him. And they spend the evening and the night with Him. It is a time of closeness and confidences. A time of love sharing. They remain with Him until the following morning. When the Sun rises over the world.
Stirred up with the flame of that «sunrise which shines upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death...» (cf. Lk 1:78-79), they set forth to irradiate it. Exalted, they feel the urge to communicate what they have seen and lived to the first ones they may meet: «We have found the Messiah!» (Jn 1:41). Many saints have also done it similarly. St. Frances, love wounded, went about streets and squares, hamlets and woods, shouting: «Love is not loved!».
In our Christian life, the essential part is to allow Jesus to gaze into us, to go and see where he stays, to stay with him and to share. And, afterwards, to announce it. This is the way and procedure followed by the disciples and saints. It is our way.

Even before Hurricane Dorian, Shenika McIntosh's story was compelling. From the start, she knew that her destiny was to bring occupational therapy to the Bahamas, change healthcare, and touch lives in the process. Shenika has accomplished so much in the less than ten years since graduating from the D'Youville College Occupational Therapy Program. Yet there was no way for her to predict just how much her skills, knowledge, and strong sense of leadership would be needed in the aftermath of Dorian's destruction...
D'Youville Alum is Helping the Bahamas to Heal
by Theresa Vallone
Chairperson, Occupational Therapy, D'Youville College
Shenika McIntosh is a 2011 alum of the BS/MS Occupational Therapy Program. She came to D'Youville College from the Bahamas and when I met her, I asked her if she intended to work in the USA or return to her country upon graduation. I distinctly recall her reply which was filled with a deep loyalty and conviction that she would return home to change healthcare in her country. Since her return to the Bahamas soon after graduation, she has established The Occupational Therapy Association of The Bahamas (OTAB), positioned herself to be her country's representative to the World Federation of OT and designed and developed her own company, Occupational Therapy Consulting Services.
As soon as Hurricane Dorian hit the Bahamas, I contacted Shenika through Messenger and I have been able to stay connected to her since. Below is a summation of her plight thus far.
Hi Theresa,
I pray that all is well with you and your family. Thank you so much for your support and prayers during this difficult time for both my family and country.
I am originally from the island of Abaco but I currently reside and work on the island of New Providence, which is the capital of The Bahamas. All immediate family members were found (mother, brother, niece grandparents, aunts, uncles) and my seven-year old cousin was confirmed dead. Nineteen family members have relocated to Nassau, New Providence because they have lost their homes and business. Currently, I have arranged for housing for most family members and only seven reside with me. My three little cousins and niece started school today and are adapting well. I'm in the process of finding counseling and
employment for some family members.
The Occupational Therapy Association of The Bahamas (OTAB) [of] which I am the current president, has made arrangements to volunteer services via training, adaptive equipment, splinting, and therapeutic intervention to the Children's Emergency Hostel, which is an orphanage that has 50 children, 9 which are special needs.
Occupational Therapy Consulting Services, which is my company, has partnered with a special needs school, Stapledon School, for trauma care group intervention for children who were displaced during the Hurricane. I will be starting this initiative in October. In addition, my company will be providing 6 months of free occupational therapy intervention to three children from Abaco, starting the week of September 23rd.
I will be needing help later on in regards to trauma care and intervention, but right now, it is still chaotic with over 70,000 people being homeless. Priority is finding shelter for persons and trying to provide a "normal" life for the children. If you can connect me with someone who can guide me in trauma care, that would be great!!
Thank you so much for your support and prayers.
Warmest regards,
Shenika McIntosh
We hope that you have been moved and inspired by Shenika's story. If you have questions, or have trauma experience, and would be interested in helping provide some guidance to Shenika in that area, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The new curriculum was built using the Global Scale of English Learning Objectives, a globally recognized standard in language education developed by Pearson, the world's largest education company.
The Global Scale of English (GSE) is the world's first truly global English language standard that allows people to measure progress accurately and easily. It's aligned to other scales of language progression including the CEFR, but it measures progress on a much smaller scale. This helps you take small steps and see progress more quickly, which keeps you motivated and on track.
The Global Scale of English Learning Objectives are based on real life use of the language. If you are at 31 on the scale, you should be able to use simple phrases to order a meal. At 74 you should be able to understand complex arguments in newspaper articles.
The GSE scale ranges from 10 to 90. Our curriculum starts begins with people just starting—a GSE score of 10—and goes to GSE 84 at the top end.
Using the GSE Learning Objectives, here is what language you will achieve in each Stage:
Stage 1 is for beginners. The language and exercises provide you with the basic framework for recognizing and using simple vocabulary and responding to basic questions in English. At the end of this stage you will be able to write a simple email or online post. You will achieve a GSE 21 at the end of this stage.
In Stage 2 you will learn to express yourself in everyday situations to accomplish basic tasks such as self-introduction and asking for directions. You will combine the language you've learned previously to write and speak with greater fluency. At the end of this stage you will be a GSE 29.
You continue to build your skills in Stage 3. At this stage you can hold a conversation with a good degree of fluency and read simple books and newspapers. You can clearly say your opinion and discuss every day, practical issues in a conversation. At the end of this stage you will be a GSE 42.
At Stage 4, you can communicate with a high degree of fluency and are able to comprehend complex ideas expressed in English. At the end of this stage you will be a GSE 58.
In Stage 5 you will build your conversational fluency, writing proficiency, and reading ability through advanced exercises. At the end of this stage you will be a GSE 75.
In Stage 6 you will continue to improve fluency and master complex language, phrases, and expressions. At the end of this stage you will be a GSE 84.
By using the GSE Learning Objectives to develop our new curriculum, we can clearly say what language you will learn with each lesson and what level of English you can achieve based on your goals. You will get regular Assessments from your teachers to ensure you are meeting these objectives. You will also be able to track your progress in your new Student Dashboard to help keep you motivated and on track.
Our new curriculum is effective and offers clear results. You will learn English, guaranteed.

powering the tower
WRFL-FM is counting down the days to Saturday's 20th anniversary FreeKY Fest celebration by getting a head start on its future. Specifically, the station is planning on a major upgrade of its transmitter tower that will boost the broadcast power from 250 watts to over 7900 watts.
While the FCC has given its approval to the renovation, there is still the none-too-small matter of cash.
To help with that are four – count 'em; four! – "Boost the Power, Build the Tower" benefit concerts this week. The first brings violinist Zach Brock back to Natasha's Cafe, 112 Esplanade, tonight.
Living, studying and working in Chicago since 1992, Lexington native Brock is a versed player who is worth catching any night for any reason. Among his current projects is participation in a documentary film on the late Polish violinist Zbigniew Seifert. Keyboardist Orville Hammond, bassist Danny Cecil and drummer John Wilmarth will perform with Brock (9 p.m., $15).
The second puts five Lexington bands into the Kentucky Theatre, 214 E Main St. on Tuesday. The lineup includes alt-country ensemble Some Other Meanness, the New Orleans-inspired funksters of the Old Vine Street Social and Pleasure Club, blues brigade Soul Patch, bluegrass group Blue Dawg and the University of Kentucky Graduate Jazz Ensemble directed by Raleigh Dailey. Comedian Ross "The Sauce" Duncliffe will host (7 p.m., $10).
Wednesday's benefit slides over to The Void Skateshop, 518 E. High St, where Ben Allen, Jason Zavala and Eyes and Arms of Smoke will perform (8 p.m., $3)
Finally, there is bluegrass at Al's Bar, 601 N. Limestone on Thursday featuring Dean Osborne, Blue Dawg, 23 String Band, the Downtown County Band, Quote, the Floorwalkers, Daniel Ellsworth, Brother Barret and the Rainjunkies (5 p.m., $10). This is an all ages show.

External Financing
Tools assist interested parties in obtaining external funding from international organizations for projects of Brazilian states and municipalities.
The Secretariat of International Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Economy launched this week the update of the panel, manual and tutorial of the External Financing Commission (Cofiex). These tools serve the Federal Government, states, municipalities and their companies interested in obtaining external resources for projects in Brazil, with information and guidance needed to authorize financing.
The Cofiex Panel gathers information on projects funded by multilateral banks and bilateral development agencies, with the Union guarantee. The information will be updated automatically twice a day.
The External Financing Manual and the Consulta Carta Tutorial, on the other hand, are general guidance tools for the potential external borrower to authorize the preparation of a project or program, as well as information on the stages of the process of contracting external credit operations with foreign organizations. financing institutions.
Cofiex is a collegiate body that is part of the organizational structure of the Ministry of Economy. The Secretariat for International Economic Affairs serves as the Executive Secretariat of the Commission, which is also composed of representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy itself.
In order to be backed by the Union on external loans, financing requests are assessed technically and financially by Cofiex. The approval of the Commission by resolution is the first step in obtaining funding.

For years, we've been hearing rumors of Project Titan, aka the Apple Car. But Apple is notoriously tight-lipped about the stuff that never makes it to market, and so all we had were rumors. Interestingly, though, as of this week, Apple's made it official — they've built the software to help a car drive itself.
Tim Cook spoke with Bloomberg about the project, calling it "the mother of all AI projects." For now, it appears Apple isn't building a car, but instead is building a system for car manufacturers to install. Keep in mind that iOS 11 will be arriving this fall with feature that turn it into a defacto "brain" for your car, including lane guidance and speed limits, so we may be seeing a small piece of Titan sooner than we thought.
How will Apple stand out in a crowded field? Google, Tesla, and of course the automakers themselves are all working with autonomous vehicle technology. Cadillac, in fact, debuted a form of "super cruise control" just this year that allows the CT6 to drive itself down specific types of highways. But Apple has some advantages, not least an iPhone in millions of pockets, and that might make all the difference. We'll see as Project Titan becomes an actual product.

Watch Paralyzed Man Walk Thanks To Brain-Controlled Exoskeleton Suit
Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.
A paralyzed man has spent nearly two years testing a mind-controlled robotic suit. Now French researchers, who are responsible for building the exoskeleton, have published a new report documenting the proof-of-concept demonstration.
Researchers at the University of Grenoble, located in southeastern France, published the latest results of the suit and a video last week.
The suit was operated by a 30-year-old man, only identified as Thibault. He was able to control the suit with his brain, moving the suit forward while he was strapped to the exterior of it.
Thibault told BBC that his latest robotic walk was like being "the first man on the moon." The tests were held in a heavily secured lab at Clinatec and the University of Grenoble.
The robotic suit is controlled by two implants that were surgically placed in Thibault's head. The implants are wireless, able to beam brain activity to a nearby computer where artificial intelligence converts the signals into instructions for the exoskeleton.
Thibault has been paralyzed for four years. He's been training with the researchers for two years, at several labs to control the 140-pound exoskeleton suit.
Researchers first trained an algorithm to interpret brain signals and convert them into commands for the suit. Thibault was able to play a game similar to Pong, while the algorithm learned his brain activity and turned the signals into commands to control a digital paddle where he hit a ball. The training started as early as 1H17 and went on for at least two years.
Once the algorithm learned Thibault's brain commands, researchers strapped him to mechanical exoskeleton with 14 moveable joints. He first used the arms of the machine to tap levers, and it was only until recently, he was able to walk the machine forward.
As shown in the video below, Thibault's exoskeleton suit was suspended with cables from the ceiling during the test.
Researchers have said the technology will be refined in the coming years and could be a replacement for wheelchairs in the next decade. But within the next 5-years, it's likely the technology will be used to control wheelchairs.
"Our findings could move us a step closer to helping tetraplegic patients to drive computers using brain signals alone, perhaps starting with driving wheelchairs using brain activity instead of joysticks and progressing to developing an exoskeleton for increased mobility," Professor Stephan Chabardes, a neurosurgeon from the CHU of Grenoble-Alpes, said.
And it's almost guaranteed that when millennials start retiring in 2045-2055, mind-controlled robotic suits will be fully matured and have already entered series production decades before. Can you imagine, elderly millennials in exoskeleton suits walking to the corner store for some avocado toast?

The Mornington Peninsula is currently under Stage 4 restrictions which include a curfew from 8pm to 5am. Face coverings continue to be compulsory.
Further information
Published on 05 April 2019
Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has welcomed the recent Federal Government budget commitment of $85 million in funding to ease congestion and improve safety on two major Peninsula roads.
The Government's 2019/20 Budget will contribute $75 million towards infrastructure upgrades of Jetty Road and Mornington Peninsula Freeway, and $10 million towards improving the Forest Drive and Uralla Road intersections on Nepean Highway.
Mornington Peninsula Freeway is the major gateway for residents and visitors to the Southern Peninsula carrying over 40,000 vehicles per day.
The committed $75 million will contribute to major Freeway upgrades including:
Shire Mayor Councillor David Gill said the funding commitment was a huge success story for the Peninsula.
"We thank the Federal Government for this significant contribution towards addressing congestion and major safety issues on some of the Peninsula's most notorious black spots.
"Traffic congestion on the Southern Peninsula is our community's highest priority and this announcement is a major win for everyone who travels through the intersection at Jetty Road and the Freeway.
"The area has a significant crash history and has been a longstanding safety concern for community, especially our most vulnerable groups who are often forced to cross the freeway at the most dangerous point.
"While the funding is a major contribution towards the total cost of delivering these upgrades, we still have a way to go and Council would welcome additional support from the state government by way of matched or substantial financial contribution to ensure these two projects can be delivered for the community.
"This funding will also help Council progress towards our goal of becoming a Towards Zero municipality – to create a safe road system including safer roads and roadsides, safer speeds, safer vehicles and safer road use".
Earlier this year Councillor Gill met with the Hon. Jaala Pulford – Minister for Roads, Road Safety and the TAC and Chris Brayne MP – Member for Nepean to discuss improving pedestrian safety and reducing congestion at the Jetty Road and Mornington Peninsula Freeway.
A recent online community survey conducted by Council investigating traffic congestion on the Southern Peninsula received over 200 responses indicating the community's highest priority is to build the full interchange at Jetty Road.

The nearing 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo is a compact sedan that is performance-focused. Years before, Nissan made a Sentra SE-R model that had been offering great torque, receptive suspensions, inexpensive price and also to significant of all, enjoyable. That model was noted down in 2012, and Nissan offered a Nismo model five-years following that.
2020 Nissan Sentra Interior
The interior look and can feel just as secure and sensible. The new 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo could keep exact same development as the regular model however it delivers a lot of resemblances. The top pail car seating is unique and is providing great location bolsters plus it arrives with dark Alcantara. The rear room acquired the same black Alcantara furniture, however with the red sewing. The cabin of the 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo brings a lot of delicate-get in touch with supplies, especially on the door segments as correctly as a device board. There is just one interior colour program option, and it also is a Charcoal colouration with red features. The device group is new, and it also provides distinctive speedometer and tachometer with a black colour background white amounts. A 5.-in. Push-Help shows chairs involving the gauges you will find it reveals all of the vital driver's information.
In the beginning, of all, the base Sentra model was intensely renewed in 2016, and the final closing result was gorgeous. Nissan produced a decision to build up that exterior type and enhance it much more for a Nismo model. The 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo consists of a high-quality physical appearance, and many of the type cues are out of a traditional Sentra's design. First of all, the Nismo model is provided in the same colours as the typical model. Nevertheless, it brings Gun Metal, Brilliant Sterling silver, and Extremely Black exterior paints. This 3 colour is made available with model SR evening model. Accenting is coloured in black colour, and red and a couple of unique information can be obtained on the location, rear spoiler, and rear fascia. Up entrance, a V-Motion grille is finished in great dim stainless, much like the location-perspective wall structure mirrors and doorway will take attention of. Wall mirrors, location clothes, and leading fender are putting on a great reddish stripe for a much more present day physical appearance.
The front lamps feature a Directed product and 18-in. Car tires are aluminium. To help make a process completed, Nissan additional plenty of great describes and creases, and the exterior physical appearance indeed a beauty. This year model now methods wheelbase of 106.3 in, duration of 183.6 in, dimensions 69.3 in and yes it size 58.9 in When we examine this model with Sentra SR Turbo, the new one has a tiny-reduced journey degree and firmer springs.
2020 Nissan Sentra Engine
While any person expected the existing 1.8-litre engine that is reasonably revised, Nissan shocks us all with a new 1.6-litre gasoline model. This several-tube Main Injections drivetrain is accessible also in the new Juke model. The 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo will work on a 188 HP and 177 lb-toes of torque which engine consists of 16 valves and a lower-strain exhaust gas method. Furthermore, a 1.8-litre fuel drivetrain is furnished with a 6-tempo guide and XTronic CVT gearboxes, and all-wheel drive setup is in the provision as correctly. The new model is able to increase from to 60 miles per hour in 7 sec, which is indeed not that fantastic. Even so, the premier price is 131 miles per hour. For the fuel economy, this car features EPA combined/town/hwy: 27/25/31 miles per gallon.
Exclusively for assessment, the products that beat this new Nissmo in an engine, as well as the group, are Volkswagen GTI contains the possibility of 210 or 220 HP, Ford Focus Saint with it's 197 Hewlett Packard and the device Subaru WRX with 268 HP.
Release Date and Price
That forthcoming 2020 Nissan Sentra Nismo will cost about $26,000. Nissan's newest sedan is very likely to access the Jan of 2020.

We had an okay day today.
Nikki cooked some pasta for the first time. We had some leftover spaghetti sauce and I asked Nikki if he wanted to cook some pasta for me. He agreed so I got the penne and instructed him how to cook it. He enjoyed it a lot so I'm thinking we could do a cooking/baking activity every week. Hopefully we'll get to do more recipes.
We also got to read some books. Nothing serious. Just nice, easy-to-read stories. I want the boys to have fun with books and not feel like reading is a chore. Sometimes, I ask Nikki to read and sometimes, I do the reading.
Then the boys spent a good part of the afternoon in the bathroom. Ethan got into the pail and Nikki had no choice but to sit in a basin since he could no longer fit into any of the pails in the house. So they just stayed there and played with a plastic water bottle, a small toy watering can, water gun and a toy pitcher. They had fun although I did encourage them to not waste water. They need to bond sometimes, just the two of them.
We also went out today and played some badminton. I figured that since we're expecting more rains in the next few days, we might as well make the most of the fair weather. So Nikki and I played badminton and Ethan joined us for a bit but he was more than happy to search for bugs around the neighborhood. He managed to find a group of centipedes (called a swarm scientifically) near an empty lot and became quite excited. I was astounded to see that many centipedes in one place so I went inside the house to get my camera. It was fascinating! I had never seen that many centipedes in my life!
Anyway, shortly after that, Nikki and I cut some long grass from the vacant lot to feed the rabbits. We read that the rabbits shouldn't be given too much pellets lest they become overweight. So we give them greens everyday. They are doing well. Taro has lost that black scab on his nose. I applied oil on it every other day and one day the scab just came off and now, his nose is a cute pink once more. Aiko is still as naughty as ever. Whenever she's out of her cage, she would try to get out of my grasp. But she's still a dear.
Tonight, I pretty much just let them do as they please which could be watching Playhouse Disney or checking out starfall on the computer or playing their Nintendo DS (which they haven't played in days). While they're doing that, I'm typing this and watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Talk about multi-tasking! 🙂
Anyway, I hope that tomorrow will be another okay day for us too…

As the nation continues to grapple over same-sex marriage, thousands of Tennessee couples continue to live in loving and long-term same-sex unions. While the political hot topic is far from settled in the media and the courts, those within the LGBT community move on with their lives. While many aspects of same-sex unions are exactly the same as heterosexual marriages, there are differences in how same-sex couples should approach estate planning.
The continuing legal wrangling over gay marriage leaves many couples on tenuous legal ground. Even if their union is recognized in their state of residence, court rulings could have a negative impact on the legality of the marriage. Furthermore, if the couple moves to another state where the laws differ, difficulties could follow. The best way to approach estate planning is to create a clear and comprehensive body of legal documents that outline the wishes of both parties.
This begins with a will, in which one's chosen heirs are clearly named. A living trust may also offer a good solution, and can help loved ones avoid probate. The trust also serves to shield assets from seizure due to financial strife. There are a range of options in structuring a living trust, and anyone considering this path should work with an estate planning professional to determine the right way to create and fund the trust.
In addition to addressing matters of inheritance, same-sex couples in Tennessee should take particular care in designating each other as their legal representative in the event of incapacitation. By drafting both financial and medical powers of attorney documents, both partners can ensure that the other will be the individual who is able to make all financial and health care decisions in the event of a medical emergency. When the estate planning process is complete, all other family members should be made aware of who will be granted these decision-making responsibilities if the need should arise. This can help avoid contention between loved ones, which is a common occurrence.

Yesterday I worked my way, only semi-methodically, through tidying. I was tidying the usual house clutter, but also tidying paperwork and finding homes for the stuff that has been left, washed up like flotsam and jetsam by recent house renovations, all the while being mindful of two very young cats that are extremely bored and therefore into and onto everything. In all honesty it's overwhelming and it's too easy when a task seems so monumental to drift hither and thither actually achieving very little at all.
Today I'm trying a different tactic. I'm following perceived wisdom and tackling one area, sticking with it and not being distracted (even by cats). I've chosen my target and I'm going in now. Wish me luck. I may be gone some time.

To meet its domestic demand, the Iraqi Kurdistan government is negotiating to buy Iranian gas and have Kurdish oil refined across the border, an official from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) told a local English-language news agency on Thursday.
The gas will be for household use and to run Kurdistan's power stations, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity since the deal has not been finalized yet, Rudaw reported.
He said the KRG has also asked Iran to refine Kurdish oil and send it back for domestic use.
Talks on the deals began this week when an Iranian delegation visited Kurdistan. It was led by Rostam Ghasemi, head of the Iran-Iraq trade mission and included Manuchehr Ardestani, advisor to Iran's oil minister and Azizollah Ramezani, director for international affairs of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC).
The Iranian delegation met with Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami and other government officials. Tehran's ambassador to Baghdad also joined the meetings on Thursday.
The KRG official said that negotiations were held over determining the route of a pipeline that would carry Iranian gas to the Iraqi Kurdistan, and also on the details of the oil refining deal.
