Whenever, we see an advertisement in daily newspaper referring to Apartments available in 13 Lakhs to 14 Lakhs, we do not try to understand more about it. People rush to the Apartment office or the site office. I myself was very surprised, when I went to the Mero City Apartment office in Hattiban. The site was packed with visitors cars, as if a wedding reception was going on. Inside the office were around 20 Sales girls. All were busy explaining their apartment features to the customers. In fact, when I asked for the brochure, the number of brochure also had finished. The hall was packed with customers and I could see some bookings were done.
The model apartments and the computer aided 3D movie were in display. People were busy viewing it.
The price range of the Apartment was amazing. The price range of the Mero City Apartment varied from Nrs 1,500,000 for 1 BHK (386.45 sq.ft) to Nrs 4,000,000 for 3 BHK (1013 sq.ft)
Similarly Eastern Apartment by Aayusha Developers a subsidiary of Oriental Builders Pvt. Ltd in Kaushaltar also was a huge attraction for Apartment buyers.
The builders have opened the booking for only 348 of the total 448 apartments. However, they were able to sell 50% of the total booking in just first 5 days. The huge response from the customers surged the developer to call all the 448 units on booking.
Due to the huge demand, the developer requested the interested buyers to fill up an application form along with a cheque of NRs 10,000. The applicant would get the apartment on first come first serve basis.
These are the basic strategies for Developers which was already been implemented by Guna Colony for their sale of their Bhaisepati Apartment. Then, they had opened booking for the Bhaisepati Apartment price starting from 13 Lacks. There was huge respondent to the Apartments in Bhaisepati which was organized in the Real Estate Expo in Bhrikuti Mandap, Kathmandu.
Most of these apartment sizes is ranging from 386.45 sq.ft to 548 sq.ft. The apartment size of 300-500 Sq. ft is very small for a family to live in and are similar to Studio Apartments abroad. These kinds of Apartments can adjust 1/2 people in a family to live in. The Rooms are very tight and no space for adding more luxury items.
The customers must not just make their decision by viewing the 3D Modeled video. The actual room and the customers view before buying the apartment might actually just not match.
Another important factor to decide before making the booking is that the customer must check the background of the Apartment Developers. Normally, we must only trust experienced Apartment Developers. These low cost apartments that are coming up in the market have been raising huge amount of funds from the market for the Proposed Apartment/Housing. The delivery and execution of these apartments is a real challenge and we must wait and see, if they can really develop these projects and their handover to their customer. So far, the construction of any of these low cost apartments has not started yet.
Some established developers claim that the price the low cost apartments are offering is suspicious. Some claim that these low cost apartments are very expensive if one calculates the rate per sq ft. Such small apartment size is not feasible for a family to live in.
The Eastern Apartment is the least expensive with price per sq. ft of Nrs 2,890 followed by The Sun City. The most expensive is the Imperial Court. However the target market for both the apartments is completely different as Imperial Court is a Luxury Condominium.
And when we compare the different apartments, all has different facilities. Some important comparison factors of the facilities for different Apartments are as following:
1. Location of the Apartment
2. Number of Lifts
3. Size of the Balcony
4. Project Land Site Area
5. Size of the swimming pool
6. Open Area
7. Distance from the city
8. Quality of finishing goods and specification
9. Developers profile & Construction company associated
The Apartment buyers must also think in mind the extra facilities the Apartment has. Normally, these apartments will have very poor infrastructures and facilities. They might actually come up with a very small swimming pool & very less open space.
And not to forget is the fact that these low cost apartments come with hidden cost. Mero city Apartment comes with cement flooring. If you want a Parke ting or tiles on the floor, you will have to add all the internal decorative items for the Apartment.
Mero City offers the following features:
* Kitchen: Tiles, Sync
* Flooring: Cemented
* Wall: Distemper
Things you have to add by yourself
1. Mostly, the modular kitchen
2. Bathroom sanitary items
3. Electricity bulbs
4. Flooring Tiles or Parke ting
This will at least cost you Nrs 400,000 to 500,000 for the completion of the Apartment. So the Total cost for the 391 sq.ft Apartment is now Nrs 2,000,000 which actually brings the price per sq.ft for the Apartment to Nrs 5115.
Similar is the case of the Eastern Apartments. The Eastern Apartment comes with no finishing in the bathrooms. The buyers will have to finish the bathroom costs & Tiles which will also cost them minimum extra NRs 400,000 to 500,000 for their flats. This will cost the buyers of Eastern Apartment an average cost per sq ft of Nrs 3,608.
This is actually expensive than some of the other Apartments with better facilities. So the customers must be aware of the concept of the low cost apartment that is coming in the market and not be fooled by the price they are offering. One should always calculate the Rate per sq. ft.

Fast Food Statistics – Choices Matter
Fast food statistics let us know that fast food can be an unhealthy option. A quickie burger is a popular choice among people who don’t want to cook, or who are under time pressures and don’t have time to cook. But instead of buying takeout why not make your own fast meals at home?
What’s in a Fast Meal?
Here is a quick statistic on a fast food meal. A cheeseburger, fries, and milkshake have around 1,000 calories. About 17% percent of those calories are from protein, which is not too bad. But around 39% of those calories are from saturated fat and that’s not good. And around 44% are from refined carbohydrates, which is constipating and fattening.
Too much saturated fat in the diet causes high levels of cholesterol in the blood and risk of heart disease. Children may quickly burn up calories from fat in a typical fast food meal, but for most adults those calories quickly turn to body fat and cellulite.
Nutrition of Fast Food
A regular portion of fries has about 210 calories and 10 grams of fat. A 4-ounce hamburger, without the cheese has around 420 calories and 20 grams of fat, plus a whopping 690 grams of sodium! Yikes that is a lot of sodium for a small hamburger. A medium soft drink boasts about 210 calories and 50 of those calories are from sugar.
Eating fast food is a convenient way to grab a bite, but fast food in undeniably unhealthy in many ways. Fast food does not have any fiber whatsoever, which leads to constipation that can later develop into colon cancer. The saturated fat content of fast food is not healthy for the heart. It’s never a good idea to eat fast food more than a couple of times a month, and for some people, never.
Making Your Own Fast Meal
If you enjoy eating hamburgers once in awhile, the alternative is to make your own. Mix ½ pound ground meat with ½ pound ground turkey. Add seasonings of your choice. Form into patties and broil in the oven. Take two whole potatoes and wash and scrub thoroughly. Cut potatoes into French fry wedges. Toss some olive oil, sea salt and paprika on the potatoes and bake for 45 minutes at 400-degrees.
Time Saving Tips
The rush, rush mentality of society has made many people flock to the nearest fast food joint for meals. But there are healthy eating alternatives. Here are a few tips:
If you live close to your work, simply go home for lunch. If you don’t have the luxury of working close to home, bring lunch to work with you.
If you have to eat out, choose a salad bar, soup, or light sandwich. Bring your own salad dressing with you instead of using those fattening creamy dressings.
Have a well-stocked pantry at home full of healthful foods such as beans, brown rice, pasta and other whole grains. When you cook, make more than you will need and freeze the rest in individual servings for work or when you don’t feel like cooking.
Be prepared. Make lists of what you are going to eat throughout the week. On the night before going to work do most of the prep work, so when you come home from work all you have to do is cook the food.
Cook in your crock-pot. The crock-pot does the cooking for you.
Criminal Law Information
According to criminal law, crimes are offenses against the social order. In common law jurisdictions, there is a legal fiction that crimes disturb the peace of the sovereign. Government officials, as agents of the sovereign, are responsible for the prosecution of offenders. Hence, the criminal law “plaintiff” is the sovereign, which in practical terms translates into the monarch or the people.
The major objective of criminal law is deterrence and punishment, while that of civil law is individual compensation. Criminal offenses consist of two distinct elements; the physical act (the actus reus, guilty act) and the requisite mental state with which the act is done (the mens rea, guilty mind). For example, in murder the ‘actus reus is the unlawful killing of a person, while the ‘mens rea is malice aforethought (the intention to kill or cause grievous injury). The criminal law also details the defenses that defendants may bring to lessen or negate their liability (criminal responsibility) and specifies the punishment which may be inflicted. Criminal law neither requires a victim, nor a victim’s consent, to prosecute an offender. Furthermore, a criminal prosecution can occur over the objections of the victim and the consent of the victim is not a defense in most crimes.
Criminal law in most jurisdictions both in the common and civil law traditions is divided into two fields:
* Criminal procedure regulates the process for addressing violations of criminal law
* Substantive criminal law details the definition of, and punishments for, various crimes.
Criminal law distinguishes crimes from civil wrongs such as tort or breach of contract. Criminal law has been seen as a system of regulating the behavior of individuals and groups in relation to societal norms at large whereas civil law is aimed primarily at the relationship between private individuals and their rights and obligations under the law. Although many ancient legal systems did not clearly define a distinction between criminal and civil law, in England there was little difference until the codification of criminal law occurred in the late nineteenth century. In most U.S. law schools, the basic course in criminal law is based upon the English common criminal law of 1750 (with some minor American modifications like the clarification of mens rea in the Model Penal Code).
Types of criminal law are: Arrests and Searches, Drug Crimes, Juvenile Law, Drunk Driving / DUI / DWI , Parole, Probation, Pardons, Violent Crimes, White Collar Crimes and Military Law.

Definitely, you can’t only depend on the recent trend to find the best clothes you can wear, but paying attention to the type of your body.

The fashion style will become something that always associated to the fashion trend.
The Five Body Types
Further about style, each woman has their own unique shape, and all of them are divided into big five types. The first is hourglass body shape.

And now, what about pear type? It is a body shape that narrower on top and wider on the bottom. In the current style, this type of body shape can try plenty of lovely options.
And then, the recent fashion style brings so a lot of fortunate for people with the petite figure, since there are many pieces in the newest style designed just for her. And the final shape that has the most widely opened options of the current style is a long, lean shape.
Scrapbook Die Cuts and Die Cutting Machines Still Preferred Over Electronic Cutters

When scrapbooking die-cutting machines came on the market, a whole new dimension was brought to scrapbook pages with die cut templates that come in wonderful themed designs and can be cut with a personal easy to use machine. So if you are not ready to move into the digital revolution quite yet, there are many good scrapbooking die-cut systems available for you to use and affordable too. So although an electronic cutter might sound good and easy, manual die cutters are still preferred and have a large place in today’s scrapbook die cutting market due to the love of the hands on creative process.

Scrapbook Die Cuts
Die cuts are shapes used to decorate your scrapbook layouts. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes for your scrapbook needs. The sizes are usually 1 inch to 4 inches in 1/2 inch increments, but this can vary from each supplier. Quickutz tends to provide a wide range of 2×2 inch dies, whereas Spellbinders Paper Arts sells a bit larger die cuts. The great thing about dies is that they can be reused again and again, making them more economical than consumables such as stickers or rub-ons. Die-cuts are an easy way to make your pages standout and look fabulous and are extremely versatile in paper crafting.
Scrapbook Die Cutting Machines
These scrapbooking machines create designs by pressing a shape or die into paper, cutting it into precise shapes or letters. The machines can give you precise cuts on many different sizes and shapes depending on the opening of the die cutter. So before you begin a comparison or ask about comparing machines, you need to ask yourself what is it that your are looking for in a system. Will you be cutting other materials other than paper with your die cut machine such as cork, vellum, felt, chip board, magnet, certain types of metal? Will you be crafting just from home or do you need a portable die cutter? These are just two questions, but I found Die-Cuts.com to be a great resource if you are a beginner and would like to know more about the different scrapbook die-cutting machines and die cuts on the market. Some of the best manual cutting machines available right now, would have to be the Sizzix Big Shot, Provo Craft Cuttlebug, Spellbinders Wizard, and the Quickutz Epic Six.

These cutting and embossing machines are very simple to use, and much less hassle than tracing and cutting by hand and more creative than the click of a mouse. They are not only for the serious scrapbookers, but for all women who enjoy crafting.
Exotic Home Furniture
Looking beyond the standard home furniture
Some people go for the exotic items such as the alligator lawn ornaments in order to add a different dimension to their home or garden. These are items that we associate with a fearsome creature that is primarily found on the American continent. The creature has been in existence for a significant period of time but we also have the nomenclature dominated by the American language. As the creative spirit of the manufacturers grows they will come up with ideas that challenge our opinions. For example the alligator lawn ornaments represent something that is frightening in real life yet people put it in their gardens where young children play. The imagery that is involved is not meant to frighten but to fascinate and entertain.
The work that goes into the alligator lawn ornaments is based on an understanding of human nature. Often the things that we fear most are the ones that we want to see. That is why young children are taken to the zoo and to watch horror movies. It might seem a bit strange to think of people deriving entertainment from the fear that they experience when they visit these places. The reality is that they are tapping into their deepest recess. The alligator lawn ornaments are just representatives of that fear and yet they are used in a place of entertainment. The contradictions in that arrangement are not lost on the mind but we have to think of it as a short term solution to the problem of decoration.
This article is not meant to go into a deep analysis of the psychological reasons as to why people decide to buy alligator lawn ornaments. From a practical point of view these things look nice in the garden and therefore it makes sense that the general public would want to buy them. Of course for some people they are the height of tastelessness. They would rather be somewhere else than spend their money on the items. It all depends on how the perceive the representations that are made on these items. It is not a problem if you buy some alligator lawn ornaments. However you cannot really expect that some people will not take offence to them.
The garden is supposed to be an area of relaxation in the modern times. People are living such stressful lives that they need a place to relax and the home can give them that place. If it appears that the alligator lawn ornaments improve that living space then they will go on and make the purchase. It is possible to be too grandiose in the way that the garden is decorated. However a few choice items will do no harm. We also tend to indulge our passions when it comes to home decorations. You might have a particular penchant for alligator lawn ornaments. This means that you are in a position to indulge this penchant without worrying about the millions of social conventions that you are breaking.

3 Big Reasons To Avoid Digestive Health Medicine
Due to our unhealthy western diet and it’s highly processed foods that many of us eat too regularly, we now have more disease and digestive disorders than ever before in known human history. This downward health spiral has worked out well for the medical industry and pharmaceutical industry. They have a digestive health medicine that can treat every problem you have.
The operative word here being “treat”, not cure. Our health industry is not interested in finding a cure for anything, that’s not what brings in the business.
Let’s take constipation as an example
Constipation is one of the most common digestive disorders we have. If you search for a medicine for it you will be prescribed or guided to several products like:
- bowel cleaning solutions
- bulk-forming laxatives
- fecal softeners
- stimulant laxatives
- 5HT4-receptor agonists
- peripheral opioid-receptor antagonists
All these categories have many products that are all made with drugs. Most of these problems can not only be treated by most people by diet, but most likely cured for good. There are several problems with treating these symptoms with drugs;
1. Drugs can never cure your problem, they can only provide temporary relief for the symptoms until they hit you again.
2. All drugs come with the possibility of negative adverse side effects.
3. Drugs will cause other symptoms unrelated to the symptom they were made to treat, causing you to seek out yet another prescription for another drug that will create another problem.
This is happening everywhere. There are more people on medication now than ever before. Many people are and will be, many unnecessarily, on medication for the rest of their lives. Your doctor is more than happy to prescribe a medication as long as you need it, and once you start, you will always need it.
Natural treatments door digestive health problems
Let’s look at the above list again. Do you really want to take a drug as a bulk-forming laxative? Over-use of laxatives can lead to serious side effects;
- they can cause kidney stones or failure
- they can body dehydration and rob it from vitamins and minerals
- they can damage bowel function
- pro-longed use can eventually make them stop working altogether
How about dietary fibers we can get from eating all-natural grains such as unrefined oats, barley and the best one of all; bran. Not only will these build up bulk in the intestinal tract, but will also leave your body with digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Consume plenty dietary fiber and you won’t need stimulant laxatives or fecal softeners, or bowel cleaning solutions.
The Glass Look In Home Furniture
Glass top dining table with chairs can be bought at just about any furniture shop. Home furniture which has this type of dining set turns out to be extremely versatile in function and gives a great look to the overall decor. When glass dining sets or any other home furniture is used in a home they have the unique quality to blend with just about any kind of décor theme that may be there in a particular room.
A black glass dining table and chairs is one such choice that will allow you to have great amount of flexibility. Such home furniture can be a great gift to a person whose house you may not have even seen once. The way they merge in to the existing décor is quite admirable. When you wonder about all the different furniture available in the stores, the upsurge of glass furniture has been comparatively new. Home furniture made from glass reflects the customers’ personality.
A person generally considers several factors before purchasing glass furniture such as its affordability, the capacity it can take, its dimensions (length, width, weight and so on) the level of workmanship of the furniture, its durability and finally its reliability. A person needs to consider buying that particular piece of home furniture only if he or she is convinced of its quality and has accurate understanding about the room in the house that needs that piece of furniture. Glass furniture as a home furniture is usually selected as decorative piece in the house rather that a utility piece. For instance, glass furniture cannot be bought for a study table in study room.
Glass tables are a great add on to the living room or even the dining room, but it can become difficult to maintain in the same neat and clean condition. Few people choose 4 seated dining tables while others choose larger 6 or 8 seated dining tables for the dining section in the house. Maintenance holds great importance with home furniture made in glass.
Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass that is regularly used in home furniture. This is because Tempered glass is better in terms of durability where standard glass can pose a potential danger of breaking in pieces. Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than the usual glass and does not burst open in to sharp pieces when it breaks or falls. Tempered glass is produced using a process that involves extreme heating and extreme cooling, making it more solidified compared to the normal glass.
The nature of tempered glass is such that it shatters into tiny oval-shaped pebble like shapes when broken. This rules out the possibility of pricking someone. Glass home furniture is a great choice for homes that are bigger. They look more graceful and some colors can also be incorporated in to home furniture made from glass. Glass furniture is also found in a variety of shapes such as oval, round, rectangular and square. Several curved glass furniture is also becoming popular day by day as it enhances the look of the house very naturally.
Choosing Gold Rings for Men
Gold is a popular choice for men’s rings, but there are many different grades and styles available so choosing one can be difficult. There are two main factors to consider when picking gold rings for men, the color and the carat. Most rings for men have a gold carat of 18kt, 14kt or 9kt. The higher the quality of gold is used in the ring, the more expensive and valuable it will be. An 18kt carat will be far more costly compared to a 9 carat ring of the same size and style.
Hardness and durability are also important to consider because a man’s ring should be strong and able to withstand harsh conditions. The carat level of the gold actually affects the hardness level of the ring. Metal hardness is measured on the Vickers scale, so hard metals receive high Vickers scores and softer metals have a lower score. 9kt has a Vickers score of 120 while an 18kt is 125. The 9 carat ring is harder to bend and springier than 18 carat styles, so a good 9kt ring will be less likely to get bent out of shape compared to an 18kt ring. Gold is a soft metal so a higher level of gold means a softer ring. However if it has been mixed with sturdy constructive metals, then it is far less likely to bend out of shape.
Gold rings are available in several different colors. The most popular choice is yellow gold, although rose gold and white gold are also popular. Other gold varieties can include lime, red, peach and bronze gold. Each gold color has the same amount of pure gold in it, so it will have the same Vickers score. When comparing gold rings, white gold is usually more costly than rose gold or yellow gold. This is because metals like platinum and palladium are mixed into the metal. Palladium and platinum are very expensive elements and cost more than the gold itself, causing the ring to be more expensive.
For practical terms, an 18kt ring will hold up better to every day wear compared to a 9kt or 14kt ring. It will also continue to look good as it ages. This is a reason why 18kt is the preferred choice in gold rings for men. However, it is also the most expensive choice so a 14 carat ring may be a good choice because the price and quality is between the 18 carat and 9 carat.
