Перед знакомством с Грантой, примерившей новый «костюм», кузов лифтбек, эмоции были сложными: с одной стороны, интересно было увидеть машину живьём, а не на «припудренных» фото, а с другой – если дело только в багажнике, стоила ли игра свеч?

Честный отзыв на Ладу Гранту: отзыв о Lada Granta лифтбек лифтбек 2020

Катался на старенькой Тойоте Королле. Машинка служила мне верой и правдой, не подводила, правда была уже потрепанной. Устроился на новую работу и решил что-то поменять в жизни. Начал с транспортного средства. Моими критериями были – отечественный производитель, минимальные финансовые затраты на ремонт и ТО, небольшая цена. На тот момент Лада Гранта была относительно новой моделью. Мне показалось это плюсом, ведь разработчики постарались максимально улучшить авто. Чисто внешне приглянулся лифтбек – его и купил.

В наличии был подходящий вариант. Немаркий серый цвет, который смотрится свежо и вроде как стильно. Двигатель 1,6 литра, люксовая комплектация со второй подушкой безопасности. Отлично, беру! Сразу поставил защиту на кузов. Багажник большущий. Сложил задние сиденья – получил ровный «пол». Как-то спал так на рыбалке. Очень удобно, как на кровати.

Ко внешнему виду претензий нет. Вроде и ничего необычного, а взгляд цепляет. Внутри всё предельно просто. Сиденья покрыты тканью. В процессе эксплуатации она показала себя с лучшей стороны: легко отстирывается, сильно не нагревается, почти не пачкается. Полезные фичи – подогрев зеркал и сидений, сигналка, климат-контроль и парочка других опций.

Общее впечатление – машина, от которой не стоит ждать чего-то невероятного. Расход может доходить до 15 литров (смотря какие пробки). Двигатель со своими задачами справляется. Езжу неспешно, зато не нужно переживать за свою безопасность. Механическая коробка передач работает сносно. Спустя 3 года эксплуатации начала подвывать при торможении.

Еще из минусов – недостаточный обзор через центральное зеркало. Когда паркуюсь задом, двести раз открываю дверь и проверяю, не впишусь ли сейчас в дорогущую иномарку. Наверное, поставлю камеру заднего вида. Надоело переживать. Со временем передние ручки расхлябались, а задние нет. Теперь некоторые двери тяжелее открывать.

Так и живу. Закрываю глаза на какие-то недостатки, к чему-то привыкаю со временем, что-то исправляют в сервисе. В принципе, я был к этому готов, когда покупал отечественный автопром. Не может же быть всё идеально…

Что самое забавное, другие водители часто подходят ко мне на улице, спрашивают, за сколько взял и как общие впечатления. Я говорю честно. Интерес к Ладе всё-таки рождает во мне надежду, что когда-нибудь наши будут делать реально крутые машины, которые не будут уступать популярным иностранцам. Время покажет.

90000 Stop Making Gratitude All About You 90001 90002 You read a lot these days about research showing that practicing gratitude — making a deliberate point of being grateful for the good things in your life — has all sorts of benefits for happiness and well-being. These articles usually end with a call to start a gratitude journal to reap the full benefits of being thankful. 90003 90002 There’s nothing wrong with that. But we should keep in mind gratitude’s other, arguably even more important purpose: strengthening our relationships with those we rely on.90003 90002 Historically, most of the research has focused on gratitude’s social function, not its impact on our brains. This body of research has found that, to put it bluntly, expressing gratitude to someone who helps you keeps them interested and invested in having a relationship with you over the long haul. It makes their time, effort, and inconvenience seem worth it. 90003 90002 In the same vein, there is nothing quite like 90009 in 90010 gratitude to sour an otherwise happy relationship.It’s not difficult for most of us to recall a time when we were shocked at how unappreciative and thoughtless someone was in response to our generosity. (If you are a parent, chances are you only have to think back to this morning’s breakfast.) Without some sort of acknowledgement, people very quickly stop wanting to help you. In fact, in a set of studies by Adam Grant and Francesca Gino, when someone was not thanked for their help, their future rates of helping people were immediately cut in half.90003 90002 Gratitude is a glue that binds you and your benefactor together, allowing you to hit the same well over and over again, knowing that support will not run dry. 90003 90002 At least, gratitude 90009 can 90010 be that glue if you do it right. Recent research suggests that people often make a critical mistake when expressing gratitude: They focus on how 90009 they 90010 feel — how happy they are, how they have benefited from the help — rather than focusing on the 90009 benefactor 90010.90003 90002 Researchers Sara Algoe, Laura Kurtz, and Nicole Hilaire at the University of North Carolina distinguished between two types of gratitude expressions: other-praising, which acknowledges and validates the actions of the giver, and self-benefit, which describes how the receiver is better off for having been helped. In one of their studies, couples were observed expressing gratitude to each other for something their partner had recently done for them. Their expressions were then coded for the extent to which they were other-praising or focused on self-benefit.Examples of their expressions include: 90003 90002 90025 Other-praising 90026 90003 90002 90009 It shows how responsible you are … 90010 90003 90002 90009 You go out of your way … 90010 90003 90002 90009 I feel like you’re really good at … 90010 90003 90002 90025 Self-benefit 90026 90003 90044 90002 90009 It let me relax … 90010 90003 90002 90009 It gave me bragging rights at work … 90010 90003 90002 90009 It makes me happy … 90010 90003 90057 90002 Finally, benefactors rated how happy they felt, how loving they felt toward their partner, and how responsive they felt the gratitude-giver had been.The researchers found that other-praising gratitude was strongly related to perceptions of responsiveness, positive emotion, and loving — but self-benefit gratitude was not. 90003 90002 This is worth taking a moment to think about because most people get gratitude utterly wrong. More often than not, human beings are a bit egocentric by nature. We have a tendency to talk about ourselves even when we should be thinking and talking about others. So naturally when we get high-quality help and support, we want to talk how it made 90009 us 90010 feel.Though to be fair, we assume that’s what the helper wants to hear — they were helping to 90009 make us happy 90010, so they must want to hear about how happy we are. 90003 90002 But this assumption is not quite right. Yes, your helper wants you to be happy, but the motivation to be helpful often is tied directly to our own sense of self-worth. We help because we want to be good people, to live up to our goals and values, and, admittedly, to be admired. 90003 90002 Remember this the next time you receive support from a colleague or friend.Helpers want to see themselves positively and to feel understood and cared for — which is difficult for them to do when you will not stop talking about yourself. 90003 .90000 SEOG Grant: How To Get It and Grant Amounts 90001 90002 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs) are reserved for undergraduates with significant financial need. The annual award is set by individual colleges, but federal guidelines set a minimum of $ 100 and a maximum of $ 4,000 per academic year. Students must file their FAFSA® in order to apply for an FSEOG. 90003 90004 90005 What are Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) Awards? 90006 90007 90002 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG) are awarded to undergraduate students and do not need to be repaid.The amount of FSEOG aid awarded is determined by the extent of the student’s financial need. Additional factors considered include the other financial aid you receive and what other financial aid is available through the particular college. 90003 90004 90005 How to Apply for a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)? 90006 90007 90002 It’s imperative you plan ahead for this, and the most important recommendation is to apply for FAFSA® as soon as possible when October 1 rolls around.This is important because each school only receives a limited amount of FSEOG funds each academic year. 90003 90004 90005 Who is Eligible for Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)? 90006 90007 90002 Students who demonstrate significant financial need through their application and show a low EFC ​​or Expected Family Contribution, are eligible for FSEOG aid. FSEOGs are awarded to students who will receive Federal Pell Grants and demonstrate the greatest need. 90003 90002 FSEOG student aid is only available to students who have not already graduated with a bachelor’s or another professional degree.Other eligibility criteria for the FSEOG include: 90003 90024 90025 You are a U.S. citizen. 90026 90025 You have never defaulted on other student loans. 90026 90025 Your grades meet a minimum requirement, usually around a 2.0 GPA. 90026 90025 Completion of the FAFSA®. 90026 90033 90004 90005 How is the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) Awarded? 90006 90007 90002 Students who are recipients of an FSEOG award will be paid at least once during the school year. Options for payment include direct deposit into the student’s account, paid directly to the student, or some combination of the two.90003 90004 90005 Tips for Applying for Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) 90006 90007 90002 The most important aspect of getting FSEOG aid is applying for FAFSA® as soon as possible. Applying early means you have a better chance at the funds allotted to your particular school. Once a school’s FSEOG monies run out, there are no options to get more, so applying early gives you a better chance at the available grant aid. 90003 90002 Ask if your school applies to the CSS / Financial Aid PROFILE form in addition to FAFSA®.This can assist with non-federal aid options. 90003 90004 90005 Do I Have to Repay Back Grants? 90006 90007 90002 Under normal circumstances, you do not have to pay grants back. There are some situations that may require partial payback of a federal grant. These include: 90003 90024 90025 A student withdraws early from the educational program and / or school that they received the grant for. 90026 90025 There was a change in enrollment status that affected the student’s eligibility. 90026 90025 The student received some additional scholarships or grants that reduced the need for federal grants.90026 90033 90002 It’s important to pay close attention to the eligibility requirements and ensure you remain eligible for the entire academic year. If you’re receiving FSEOG, you are receiving a Pell Grant. If you have to repay a portion of that and default, it will disqualify you from receiving any future federal student financial aid. 90003 90002 If you have defaulted on a guaranteed student loan or still owe a refund on a federal grant, you may still be disqualified from FSEOG eligibility.You need to verify specific requirements with the school you are attending. Some schools may consider eligibility, but you have to provide a written release from the loan agency or U.S. Department of Education. This applies regardless of whether or not you’re in default of the repayment. 90003 90004 90005 What’s the Difference between FSEOG and Pell Grants? 90006 90007 90002 FSEOG grants funds to participating schools, and they are designed to be a supplement to the Pell Grants to students most in need of financial assistance.Not every school participates in the FSEOG and those that do must make contributions to the grant program. The federal government sets aside three dollars, and the institution has to contribute one dollar. 90003 90002 With the Pell Grant, it’s awarded by the government whereas the FSEOG is awarded by the school to the student. And, students can not receive FSEOG funds unless they have received a Pell Grant. 90003 90002 If you’re a student in need of extra financial aid, and want to increase your chances of getting FSEOG student assistance, it’s best to talk the schools you’re applying to and see if they offer the grant.Another way to ensure the best financial aid package, is to make sure to file your FAFSA® as soon as the application opens for the new school year on October 1st. 90003 90002 Resources: 90003 90002 «Types of Financial Aid.» 90079 Seminole State College 90080, Florida Department of Education, Web. 26 Feb. 2018. 90003 90002 «Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) Program.» Department of Education, United States Government, 17 Apr. 2014.
