Shriram Transport Finance specialises in financing second-hand commercial vehicles, wherein it has created a niche segment
Shriram Transport Finance Company (STFC) is one of the largest non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) in India which finance commercial vehicles. The company specialises in financing second-hand commercial vehicles, wherein it has created a niche segment and has capitalised on the absence of formal financing solutions.
The fourth quarter of FY15 was a drag on STFC's results. Shriram Equipment Finance Company Limited (SEFCL), a subsidiary of STFC, reported a net loss of ₹237.13 crore as a result of higher provisioning for NPAs. The assets under management declined by 12 per cent from ₹3,418 crore in Q4 FY14 to ₹2,999 crore in Q4 FY15. The company has also faced a slow pace of growth in financing opportunities due to a slowdown in the commercial-vehicle market.
As per Umesh Revankar, Managing Director of STFC, the segment is witnessing active uptake in the heavy-new-vehicle and used-CV space. The re-sale value of vehicles is looking better and the demand is quite good in many states. Vehicle-utilisation levels are gradually going up.
What lies ahead?
The commercial-vehicle industry is cyclical in nature. It has already seen its worst phase. With its revival, STFC stands to gain. With good monsoons the demand for used CVs is likely to pick up, even in light commercial vehicles.
STFC is currently trading at a price-to-book multiple of 2.20, which is a 15 per cent discount to its five-year average of 2.59. Buy.

William Peace University Community,
We have just concluded our fourth week of the semester, and it has been wonderful to have our community back together on campus. I am thankful to see so much commitment to our health and safety protocols and ask that we remain vigilant both on and off campus.
While the State of North Carolina has moved to Phase 2.5 and hopes to continue to “open up,” the virus has not changed and we must remain committed to wearing face coverings, distancing at least six feet, and regularly washing/sanitizing our hands.
We can do this.
The WPU Planning Team continues to meet two times a week to discuss our continued work, monitor COVID–19 developments on and off campus, and report on adjustments we need to make to ensure our campus stays as safe and healthy as possible. We are very fortunate to have only had a few cases so far, and that those infected have fully recovered. But as noted above, we must remain focused and disciplined to minimize the spread. We all must do our part.
We have also added Spring Semester planning to our discussions, and I want you to know that we will be engaging the faculty, the staff, and the President’s Student Advisory Council (members are: Rafael Ortega, Chase Herndon, Davyous Melvin, Jordan Rogers, Edgar Arrieta Reyes, Heather Toone, Donolly Tyrell Jr., Trey Stroud, III, Jayda Bernard and Stephanie Romero-Reyes) in the process so that we hear from different voices and perspectives about how to best plan for the upcoming semester. Faculty and staff will be discussing potential plans within their respective departments.
Students, if you have additional questions and/or thoughts about Spring Semester, please send them to firstname.lastname@example.org and we’ll be sure to review them.
I am proud of how this community has come together to create the best experience possible this semester – and look forward to developing a plan for Spring that builds on our hard work.
My best to you all,


Indonesia looks to build its own warships
The Jakarta Post
The Indonesian government is looking into the possibility of building its own warships in order to strengthen the country’s defense systems and reduce its dependence on other countries for warships.
Next month, state-owned shipbuilding company PT PAL, in cooperation with Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding of the Netherlands, will begin designing light corvettes — ships designed for anti-submarine warfare — for the Indonesian Navy in anticipation of their construction in the country. The warships will be the largest ever produced by a local shipbuilding firm.
The government has also given the green light for the building of a submarine beginning in 2014. The sub will be built after the Indonesian government selects the specifications, the type of submarine it desires and which countries will be chosen to transfer the technology to Indonesia.
So far four countries — France, Russia, Germany and South Korea – have emerged as contenders, but the government has not made a decision about which country will be chosen to build the initial sub.
Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro discussed the government’s plans at a ceremony for the handover of a domestically made warship — the KRI Banda Aceh 593 — to the Navy in Surabaya, East Java, on Monday.
“The government has decided to build its own submarine. But building a submarine cannot be done hastily because its technology is complicated. We are still designing it, what kind of submarine and what is suitable for Indonesian waters,” Yusgiantoro said.
Indonesian Military (TNI) Chief Adm. Agus Suhartono said at the ceremony that Indonesia’s waters were distinctive as its western seas were shallow and the east had deep waters, therefore choosing a suitable submarine was essential.
Agus said the initial submarine would be built in the country that possessed the right technology. “The second, the third and the following submarines will be built here and at the same time will be accompanied by a transfer of technology,” Agus said.
PT PAL president Harsusanto said his company was ready to build the submarines and the corvette warships as long as it was given a chance to learn.
“The proof is the Banda Aceh warship. We turned out to be able to build warships by ourselves. If we can do this, we will also be able to produce others,” he said.
PT PAL strives to use local products for defense items built domestically so as to save money.
The government promised to continuously renew all TNI defense equipment in stages by the year 2024.
Out of the country’s four LPD warships, each with a capacity of 507 personnel, ordered from Daewoo International, two were built in Indonesia by PT PAL and two in South Korea. The ships were US$15.4 million each.
The 125-meter long warships were specially designed to accommodate a 100mm cannon launcher and equipped with a combat information center for its main weapons control system.
The ships are capable of traveling for 30 days and can contain two landing craft carriers, tank carriers, combat vehicles, tactical vehicles, troop carriers and five helicopters.

It’s time to clean out the seat pocket
For many years the shiny in-flight magazine helped us kill time, with tales of adventures to add to future years bucket lists, beautiful photography of far flung places and copious amounts of luxury goods you do not have the space nor money for.
Covid-19 has seen the removal of all seat back reading material for ease of cleaning, and the question must be asked, besides publishing companies, will anyone miss them?
Board any flight and most people are
- Watching a movie
- Watching a TV show on their own device having downloaded a whole series.
Are printed materials still necessary?
What's for lunch?
I am an avid reader, especially of menu cards. I will peruse it multiple times on a flight as I try to decide what to eat or to see what will be served next.
Do you remember a time, many years ago, when menu cards were not even an option? It was fish or chicken as the trolley rolled passed and you got excited when you received an unannounced snack a few hours later.
Rather than printing new menu cards and them being replaced after every flight, yes, every flight for Business and First Class on specific airlines, why can it not be available digitally either on the in-flight entertainment system or as an app on a passengers own device.
What airlines can learn from fashion house Zegna and digital
Of greater concern, due to its sheer size, is the magazine. Filled with few articles, it is mainly an advertising vehicle for the many products on offer through duty free.
We are not suggesting that the airlines merely upload the magazine in its current format to the in-flight entertainment system for people to read.
Now is the time to do something truly innovative.
Just like Zegna artistic director, Alessandro Sartori refuses to just record a catwalk show and upload it online in lieu of Fashion Week. He has named it, “phygital.”
“My aim is to … use different technology, to provide a deeper, fresher experience. It’s much better to use those resources to do something new—to reset.”
With the customer experience in mind, it is time for the airlines to completely re-think how to create an interactive magazine online.
- The design story behind the Apple iPhone
- The history of Hennessy Cognac and a video tour of the facilities
- Explanation of how a Samsonite bag is made and the testing it must endure before being commercialized
- Using augmented reality see how low the Swarovski necklace will sit on your décolletage
- Include before and after photos of real users of La Mer skincare to show the effects on wrinkles
- Half hour class on travel photography with the new Sony camera
Even pre-Covid, sustainability was driving many organisations to re-think how things were done.
Now it’s out of necessity.
It will cause organizations to become more innovative but more importantly, it will decrease costs at this unprecedented time with research from Boeing showing savings of up to $4.5 million in fuel costs without the additional weight. This reduction in fuel usage will also see a reduction in C02 emissions.
Rather than incremental growth, such as using lighter paper as United Airlines did in 2017, post-Covid is the time to completely re-think the way things are done.
The world is changing, it is time to live up to its expectations.

In the criminal justice system the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups: the police who resolve problems by shooting or tackling everyone, and the police who resolve problems with dance-offs. This, for a change, is the story of the latter.
On Monday, a police officer, who has asked not to be identified in the press, was part of a team sent to break up a fight among teens on a D.C. street. But after they stopped the fight, there was still a crowd of spectators hanging around. The officer told the remaining teens to move along–at which point 17-year-old Aaliyah Taylor approached, playing “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” on her phone and doing the appropriate moves.
A lot of police officers would interpret being danced at by a teen as threatening behavior. This officer laughed and said she had better moves–but that if she won the dance-off, the teens had to disperse.
Did she win? Aaliyah Taylor said that she wasn’t really watching–“I mostly hold my head down when I dance, so I didn’t really see her”–but that she was impressed by the video. “I was like ‘Oh, she has some moves.’” Marinos Marinos, secretary of the D.C. police union, pointed out to the Washington Post that if the officer didn’t win, it was probably only because she was wearing 40 pounds of equipment and uniform. (We’ll add that she also didn’t have the natural advantage of being a 17-year-old girl.)
What’s important, though, is that both parties felt like they won. They mutually declared victory, hugged, and the teens left peacefully. And even more importantly, Taylor says this was her first positive experience with a cop. Most of the ones she’s encountered have been unnecessarily forceful and mean.
“I thought all cops were cruel because that’s how I saw them,” she told the Post. “I’ve now seen there are good cops out there.” And she’s even done the Stanky Leg with one.

Christine Quinn released the first television ad in the Democratic mayoral race, in which she touts her bona fides as a champion of the middle class. The New York Times fact-checks and determines:
The advertisement will test the potency of Ms. Quinn’s central message: love her or hate her, she gets stuff done. But — surprise! — it oversimplifies the messy work of government.
Speaking of Quinn, a new poll also shows her at the top in the field of mayoral candidates. A New York Times/Siena poll shows her getting 27 percent support; Anthony Weiner is second with 18 percent.
Meanwhile, Quinn’s rival in the Democratic mayoral race, Bill Thompson, continues to gather endorsements — this time from key Bronx Democrats. Chris Bragg of Crain’s New York reports that Bronx Councilman James Vacca, Assemblyman Mark Gjonaj and Assemblyman Michael Benedett are set to endorse Thompson later today. Although not surprising, Bragg writes that the endorsements “add to the multi-ethnic coalition the former city comptroller is counting on to propel him to victory in the Democratic mayoral primary." As our demographics columnist, Andy Beveridge, has written, that could be the key to winning this year.


I have a small shed with a concrete foundation. I need a vice in the shed, but there's no room for a big, heavy workbench to keep it in place. I can't bolt it to the wall of the shed, because it's flimsy wood and will not withstand the force I'll need to apply to stuff.
So, what I want is a vice atop to a solid metal post, about 3 foot high, with big, strong bolts so I can drill into the foundation and secure it. Do I have to make this myself or does it exist to be bought?

At any point, stop to contemplate how our cities are developing. By 2050, an incredible 68% of us will call urban regions home. Discuss a packed house! However, we dread not because we have a clear-cut advantage: blockchain technology. I can read your mind – isn’t blockchain only for digital cash? Indeed, reconsider! It resembles a definitive multitasker, able to do far more than take care of your web-based installments. Our smart cities get a serious update while we bring blockchain in with the general mish-mash. I mean Blockchain Applications in Smart Cities.
Picture this: smoother energy management, more effective transportation frameworks, and, surprisingly, better governance. Blockchain is the hero dipping in to protect us from the disorder of urban life.
Thus, prepare to investigate the exciting modern lifestyle of blockchain applications in smart cities. Now is the ideal time to tackle this progressive technology’s force and shape tomorrow’s cities to improve things!
Understanding Blockchain Technology
Let’s separate the nuts and bolts of blockchain technology, the mystery ingredient behind those game-changing Blockchain Applications in Smart Cities. Consider blockchain as a digital ledger, yet way cooler and safer. All in all, what matters to it?
Most importantly, blockchain is about transparency and security. Like your digital dearest companion, never let the cat out of the bag. Each exchange, each piece of data, gets kept in a chain of blocks that is essentially carefully designed. There is no slippery business here!
Presently, here’s the kicker: decentralization. Rather than depending on a solitary power, blockchain spreads adoration across an organization of PCs. This implies no weak link and nobody calling the shots in the background. It resembles a digital vote-based system where everybody has a say.
Furthermore, we should not disregard those permanent ledgers. Whenever something’s composed into the blockchain, it’s permanently established. No deleting, no backtracking — simply unadulterated, pure truth.
Be that as it may, enough with the tech language, how about we talk genuine applications? From inventory network management to medical services records, blockchain are causing disturbances across different businesses. Envision following the excursion of your food from ranch to table or securely imparting clinical records to your primary care physician — all because of blockchain wizardry.
In this way, that’s it! Blockchain’s not only for the tech nerds any longer. It’s the main thrust behind the eventual future of smart cities, bringing transparency, security, and effectiveness to metropolitan living.
Challenges in Urban Living and the Role of Smart Cities
we should handle the huge stuff: the difficulties urban regions face and how smart cities fit into the image. Urban living isn’t generally a stroll in the park. From gridlocks to contamination, we’re continually fighting against the turmoil of city life. However, dread not because smart cities are here to make all the difference!
All in all, what precisely are these smart cities about? Indeed, picture this: cities that utilize state-of-the-art technology to make life simpler, greener, and more productive. That is the fantasy, correct? Smart cities plan to do that by coordinating technology into every urban framework.
Presently, we should discuss how these smart city innovations tackle the difficulties we face. Think about it like this: envision utilizing your smartphone to control everything in your home, from lights to security cameras. That is the degree of comfort smart city tech brings to urban living!
Be that as it may, pause; there’s something else! Here’s where blockchain applications in smart cities become the most important factor. Blockchain isn’t only for cryptocurrencies; the mystery ingredient can supercharge smart city foundations. By adding blockchain in with the general mish-mash, cities can guarantee secure, transparent, and productive management of data and transactions. It resembles giving the city a digital update, making everything run smoother and smarter. Thus, prepare to perceive how blockchain applications in smart cities change the game for urban living!
Exploring Blockchain Applications in Smart Cities
how about we separate how blockchain applications are making a splash in smart cities? From governance to waste management, blockchain has its fingers in every one of the pies, making urban living smoother and greener.
A. Smart Governance:
Picture this – a city where transparency and responsibility rule. With blockchain applications in smart cities, that fantasy’s becoming a reality. By utilizing blockchain’s secure and transparent ledger, city organizations can streamline processes, track transactions, and guarantee each choice is above board. Express farewell to obscure dealings and hello to a governance framework you can trust!
B. Smart Energy Management:
Presently, who doesn’t adore saving energy? Blockchain applications in smart cities are tied to improving energy appropriation and utilization. Envision a city where power matrices naturally conform to request, guaranteeing no watt goes to waste. With blockchain’s decentralized methodology, energy management becomesis more proficient, solid, and eco-accommodating.
C. Smart Mobility:
We should discuss getting from A to B without migraines. Because of blockchain applications in smart cities, transportation frameworks are getting a significant redesign. From ride-sharing stages to traffic management frameworks, blockchain’s carefully designed ledgers and smart agreements are ready for smoother ventures and fewer gridlocks.
D. Smart Waste Management:
Rubbish talk just got a ton smarter! Blockchain applications in smart cities are upsetting waste management by improving assortment and reusing processes. With blockchain’s transparent following, we can watch each step of the waste excursion, from container to reusing plant. It’s a mutual benefit for cities and the planet!
E. Contextual analyses:
Yet don’t simply unquestioningly trust me. We should plunge into some genuine instances of blockchain in real life. From Dubai’s Blockchain System to Estonia’s e-residency program, cities all over the planet are receiving the rewards of blockchain applications. These contextual analyses grandstand the vast conceivable outcomes of blockchain in building smarter, more reasonable cities.
So that’s it, parents! Blockchain applications in smart cities are the mystery ingredient for a more splendid, greener urban future. Prepare to embrace the blockchain unrest!
Implications for Enhanced Efficiency and Sustainability
et separate happens while we carry blockchain applications with the general mish-mash in smart cities. We’re discussing significant major advantages here! First up, we’ll dive deeply into the expected effects. Picture this: smoother transactions, upgraded data security, and further developed transparency in city tasks. That is only a hint of something larger!
Presently, we discuss the advantages. Blockchain technology isn’t simply some extravagant popular expression – it resembles an enchanted wand for effectiveness and supportability. It smoothes out processes, diminishes waste, and advances eco-accommodating practices. Who wouldn’t need that?
Be that as it may, it’s not all daylight and rainbows. We must address the difficulties as well. Coordinating blockchain into smart city projects isn’t generally a stroll in the park. There are obstacles like adaptability issues and administrative barriers that should be handled head-on.
Looking forward, however, what’s to come is brilliant. With the right innovative work, we can defeat these hindrances and open more potential for blockchain applications in smart cities. Thus, we should push the energy along and prepare for a smarter, greener urban future!

A powerful, tender story of race and identity by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the award-winning author of Half of a Yellow Sun.
Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland.

"Part love story, part social critique, and one of the best [novels] you’ll read this year...These characters are richly drawn...When parts of the plot seem familiar — the perils of emigration, the difficulties of being a foreigner in a new land — Adichie digs in deeply, finding a way to make them fresh."
"Fearless. A towering achievement…From the place of Africans in the race politics in America, to love across continents, Americanah dares to bring us a world of a confident and self-made woman making her way in these complicated times. This is the Africa of our future. Sublime, powerful and the most political of [Adichie’s] novels. She continues to blaze the way forward."
"Superb...Americanah is that rare thing in contemporary literary fiction: a lush, big-hearted love story that also happens to be a piercingly funny social critique."
"Witheringly trenchant and hugely empathetic...a novel that holds the discomfiting realities of our times fearlessly before us. A steady-handed dissection of the universal human experience."

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors, the first institutional survey exhibition to explore the evolution of the celebrated Japanese artist’s immersive infinity rooms, will embark on the most significant North American tour of her work in nearly two decades, Art Daily said.
Following its debut at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden on Feb. 23, 2017, which is the organizing institution, Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors will travel to four major museums in the United States and Canada, including the Seattle Art Museum (June 30–Sept. 10, 2017), The Broad in Los Angeles (October 2017–January 2018), the Art Gallery of Ontario (March—May 2018), and the Cleveland Museum of Art (July–October 2018).
Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors provides visitors with the unique opportunity to experience six of Kusama’s most iconic kaleidoscopic environments at once, alongside large-scale, whimsical installations and key paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the early 1950s to the present. It also marks the North American debut of numerous new works by the 87-year-old artist, who is still actively creating in her Tokyo studio. These include large-scale, vibrantly colored paintings and the recently realized infinity room, All the Eternal Love I have for Pumpkins (2016), featuring dozens of her signature bright yellow, dotted pumpkins.
“This is a rare opportunity to celebrate a living artist whose radical yet playful vision has had an amazing influence on art, design and contemporary culture throughout her decades of work,” said Stephan Jost, the AGO’s Michael and Sonja Koerner Director, and CEO. “We are thrilled to partner with such a renowned group of museum partners to bring Kusama’s creativity to Toronto.”
“Yayoi Kusama, who, at this stage of her career, is a worldwide phenomenon, has the ability to inspire audiences of all ages with the power of her art. It is a privilege and an honour to collaborate with our four partnering institutions to offer audiences across North America the opportunity to experience more than five decades of her artistic output,” said Melissa Chiu, the Hirshhorn’s director.
Organized in rough chronological order, Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors begins with the artist’s milestone installation Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field (1965/2016), a dense and dizzying field of hundreds of red-spotted phallic tubers in a room lined with mirrors.
The exhibition will also include Infinity Mirror Room--Love Forever (1966/1995), a hexagonal chamber into which viewers will be able to peer from the outside, seeing colored flashing lights that reflect endlessly from ceiling to floor. The work is a re-creation of Kusama's legendary 1966 mirror room Kusama's Peep Show (no longer extant), in which the artist used to stage group performances in her studio in the late 1960s.
Kusama’s signature bold polka dots will be featured in Dots Obsession—Love Transformed into Dots (2009), a domed mirror room surrounded by inflatables suspended from the ceiling. More recent spectacular LED environments, filled with lanterns or crystalline balls that seem to extend into infinite space, will be represented by Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity (2009) and Souls of Millions of Light Years Away (2013).
“As Yayoi Kusama’s work is realized in different spaces, each venue will offer a unique sensory journey through Kusama’s world,” said Hirshhorn Associate Curator Mika Yoshitake, who organized the exhibition. “When visitors explore the exhibition, they will inevitably become part of the works themselves, challenging their preconceived notions of autonomy, time and space.”
A selection of more than 60 paintings, sculptures and works on paper will also be on view, showcasing many of Kusama’s lesser-known collages, made after her return to Japan in 1973. These works trace the artist’s trajectory from her early surrealist works on paper, Infinity Net paintings and Accumulation assemblages to recent paintings and soft sculptures, highlighting recurring themes of nature and fantasy, utopia and dystopia, unity and isolation, obsession and detachment, and life and death.
The exhibition will conclude with Kusama’s iconic participatory installation The Obliteration Room (2002), an all-white replica of a traditional domestic setting. Upon entering, visitors will be invited to cover every surface of the furnished gallery with multicolored polka dot stickers, gradually engulfing the entire space in pulsating color.
Kusama was born in Matsumoto, Nagano, in 1929, and works at her studio in Tokyo. She studied traditional Nihonga (Japanese-style) painting in Kyoto and moved to New York City in 1958. There, she was active in avant-garde circles during the formative years of pop art and minimalism, exhibiting her work alongside such artists as Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow—figures who have cited Kusama as influential to the development of assemblage, environmental art and performative practices. Kusama exhibited widely in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands in the mid-’60s, participating in exhibitions with artists associated with Nul, Zero and the New Tendency in Europe, where she began developing her interest in the optics and interactive elements of mirrors, electric lights, sound and kinetics. Kusama’s fame grew in the late 1960s through her radical antiwar happenings, which espoused nudity and polka dots in the streets of New York. Because of ongoing struggles with her health, Kusama returned to Japan in 1973, where she has since resided. In recent years, Kusama has achieved celebrity status as well as tremendous critical respect.

If you are around retirement age or older, there is one thing you have definitely learned already: selling your house is hard! Home renovation shows and blogs and DIYs make it look like it’s going to be a breeze, but it really isn’t. There are renovations, expenses, the challenges and frustrations of the real estate market, home viewings, and cleaning and maintenance (along with more cleaning and maintenance). It’s enough hassle to make you question the move in the first place; but the fact of the matter is that, while this home served you well in your young, family-rearing days, there are better options out there for you right now. A We Buy Houses company can help take the hassle out of the home selling process so you can sell your house fast and get on with the next chapter of your life.
It isn’t the final decision it seems to be
There is a strong negative connotation surrounding the idea of moving out of your family home. Maybe the idea of moving suggests that you are physically unable to look after your home anymore—and that’s a hard thing to admit—but whether or not that’s true, the fact of the matter is that you really don’t need to anymore. You’ve done your time. You’ve put in your years of mowing lawns, trimming trees, gardening, painting the siding, cleaning out the eavestroughs, re-shingling the roof, shoveling the driveway vacuuming the carpets, painting the walls and ceilings, buying new appliances—the list goes on. And now, whether or not you still feel able to keep up with these never-ending tasks, you don’t have to do it anymore. Freedom is in sight in the form of a smaller condo, apartment, or even a retirement home, and a “we buy houses” company can help.
The dreaded “R” word seems like a deterrent to the process, but have you seen retirement homes lately? A lot of them function more like resorts, providing opportunities for seniors to join fitness programs, participate in social events and outings, and someone will even come in to do your cleaning for you—not to mention the fact that all of the maintenance is looked after for you all the time. It’s a pretty good deal—especially for those who plan to do some travelling now that they no longer have to book vacation time to do it. Living in a retirement home means you don’t have to hire a house sitter to look after things while you are gone; there is always someone on-site to check on your place for you. It’s a step that could lead you on a new adventure—or a lot of new adventures—and a “we buy houses” company can get you there.
How can a “we buy houses” company get you on your way to the next adventure?
If you are ready to move on, you don’t want to wait 6 to 12 months in the traditional real estate market, and you don’t want to do all the work you are getting away from just to get the house ready. There is an alternative. You can sell your home “As Is” to a “we buy houses” company. The process is fast—you can get a competitive cash offer within 10 minutes over the phone, and you can sell your house in as little as 7 days—without any finance contingencies or real estate commissions. It’s the easiest way to get going on your next adventure. Call House Buyers of America today so you can start booking your dream vacation tomorrow.
Sell your home directly to House Buyers of America and can skip all the hassle and months of uncertainty. Simply enter your address – and get our offer with a few simple steps.Get an Offer

After taking a year off, Nissan brings back the Armada with an all-new design. Here’s a 2017 Nissan Armada overview so you can see what it has in store.
In its new form, the Armada comes with substantial improvements from nose to tail. Right from the start, you’ll notice the Armada’s new bold styling. The Armada rides on top of new architecture, which it now shares with the Infiniti QX80. However, the Armada still keeps its rugged body-on-frame build, letting it tow up to 8,500 pounds.
Buyers will find a strong 5.6-liter V8 under the hood, rated at 390 horsepower and 401 lb-ft of torque. This engine delivers more power and better efficiency than the outgoing engine. Paired with the engine is a seven-speed automatic transmission. And buyers can choose between rear- and all-wheel drive.
Inside, the new Armada is packed to the brim with features. The quality of the interior materials gets a big boost this year with many premium materials like available leather. Drivers will also appreciate the tech amenities like standard navigation, Bluetooth, and Bose audio.
With seating for up to eight, desirable standard features, premium interior design, and rugged capabilities, the 2017 Nissan Armada is an ideal choice for your next family adventure vehicle.
Back when it first made its debut on the market, the Nissan Armada—like other full-size SUVs—wasn’t built to be a smart, technology-packed vehicle. However, 2017 is a new era, and the new Nissan Armada for the 2017 model year makes use of plentiful tech to compete in a segment and automotive market that increasingly rely on connectivity features to sell vehicles.
It doesn’t disappoint, thanks to new safety systems, a new Around-View monitor, and various other strides in performance that make it a great off-roading vehicle.
The Around-View Monitor is useful in multiple situations, from backing up, to changing lanes on the highway, to navigating difficult terrain. This is due to its ability to display a bird’s-eye view of the area around the Armada. Additionally, the Nissan Armada has several of the most “basic” safety tech systems, like blind spot detection and lane departure warning.
The Nissan Armada is also built on the same Patrol platform as the Infiniti QX80, which means you get the look and space of a luxury-class vehicle for a fraction of the cost. Premium features like a 13-speaker Bose audio system, an 8-inch color touch radio, and LED exterior lights come standard on the Armada, too, so you won’t be missing any amenities, either.
The new Nissan Armada offers a ton more features for families in need of a large hauler, so make sure you check out the new 2017 model year loaded with technology and luxury materials. We’ve got the new Armada on our lot here in Vicksburg. Be sure to stop by Blackburn Nissan to check it out!
Roughly three years ago, Nissan revealed its latest version of the Nissan Pathfinder. The result was a SUV that was an instant hit for the brand! However, Nissan is not one to rest on its laurels. That is why the Nissan brand has announced some exciting news.
The 2017 model of the Pathfinder is set to undergo major upgrades for its exterior design, engine capabilities, and technologies.
Drivers will notice the first change to the Pathfinder when they first lay eyes on it. The latest Pathfinder has a newly-redesigned exterior, which helps it more closely resemble the rest of the Nissan family of vehicles.
The Pathfinder is also receiving some upgrades under the hood. The 3.5-litre V6 engine equipped to the Nissan Pathfinder will now possess direct injection, which provides it with more power and efficiency.
Finally, a new vehicle wouldn’t truly be upgraded without some great new technologies. The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has been packed with more active safety technologies, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Blind Spot Monitoring, to provide drivers with a ride that is not only safer, but more advanced.
If you already loved the Nissan Pathfinder, then you are certainly going to get a kick out of the brand-new 2017 Nissan Pathfinder!
Whether you’re commuting across town, road tripping across the state, or loading the family up for a weekend camping trip or another soccer game, the Nissan Pathfinder has you covered. Featuring a sleek design, best-in-class towing capability, and a comfortable, modern, and spacious interior, the Pathfinder has it all.
The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is powered by a powerful 3.5-liter V6 that generates 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque, allowing the Pathfinder to tow up to 5,000 pounds with ease. With such power, it’s hard to believe it earns up to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway fuel efficiency. Nissan’s largest crossover is one SUV you can feel good about driving around town.
The cavernous interior means you’ll have no trouble loading up all your camping gear, plus the whole family. Seven comfortable seats and up to 79.9 cubic feet of cargo space (with the second and third rows folded) allow you to configure the interior to fit your needs.
Loaded with modern technology, premium materials, and a clean design, the Pathfinder has been named one of Ward’s ten best interiors. All of your passengers will be comfortable in the Pathfinder’s warm and welcoming interior.
Stop by Blackburn Nissan to learn more about the Pathfinder and hit the open Mississippi roads this summer in confidence!
If the suspense of waiting for a glimpse of the 2015 Nissan Murano is leaving you breathless, go ahead and take a big gulp of air—Nissan has released a sneak peek at the redesigned crossover before its debut on April 16 at the New York International Auto Show in New York City.
Lasting a frustratingly short nine seconds and no longer, the sneak peek video still manages to illustrate the 2015 Murano’s striking bodylines and tasteful curves without giving too much away, previewing a crossover SUV that is sure to stop you in your tracks. The quick video is also previewing something new for Nissan as a whole—a new design language the Japanese carmaker plans on using in designing all future production vehicles.
With the brief glimpse we got, we here at Blackburn Nissan are sure that the 2015 Murano debut will impress everyone, especially since it will feature more room, an opulent interior, and more technology than ever before. Do you agree? Share your thoughts with us below by leaving a comment!
