5. Make A Handbook For Residents
In a good hotel, the information folder that’s in the room is often the first thing guests look at to see what the in-house facilities are and what the local area offers. There’s no reason why apartment complexes can’t produce something similar. It’s a friendly way to communicate the bylaws, but it’s also a valuable tool in displaying the wares of the building and making everyone feel a part of the place as soon as they move in. The folder should contain all sorts of information, including moving procedures, hours for the pool and gym, rules on visitor parking, policies on keeping keys, newspaper delivery, storage, plus details of nearby takeaway services, cafes and restaurants.

In the midst of Milan’s all-important Fashion Week, the picture that is turning heads in Italy is a shocking one. An Italian advertising campaign featuring photos of an Italian label, Nolita, an emaciated girl is supposed to serve as a warning to young women, but medical experts fear it could encourage anorexia and other eating disorders. It’s the latest work by controversial Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani.
It shows what anorexia looks like stripped bare. And, it is re-igniting the debate in the fashion industry over whether designers should make sure that the models who appear on their catwalks are really healthy.

French actress Isabelle Caro, 27, who has suffered anorexia for 15 years and weighs just 31 kilograms appears in the adverts next to the slogan “No Anorexia.” Read more of Anorexia Fashion Ads Statement Controversy

Neighbours. They can make life heavenly or hellish. Multiply that by your apartment number, add the proximity factor and you’ve got a potential nightmare. Unless you make an effort to get the most from this close-knit kind of community.

For some people, apartment living can be very lonely. They might move in, expecting it to be one big social scene, but rarely bump into their neighbours and end up feeling quite isolated. Somehow, the fact that they’re actually physically surrounded by people only makes that seem harder to bear. Others, however, actually work hard to turn their building into the friendly neigh-bourhood they’ve always dreamed of, without sacrificing the privacy of their own apartment. It’s worth trying to make your building as good a place to live as it can be - and maybe even earn some extra cash while you’re doing it.

Pregnant women are each to receive £120 from the Government in a bid to encourage them to eat healthily and improve the health prospects of their unborn child. The plan for a ‘health in pregnancy’ grant will be outlined by Health Secretary Alan Johnson this week in his first major speech outlining how the government plans to tackle the yawning health divide between the richest and poorest in England and Wales.
A Department of Health spokesman said: “It is something that would be put in place in conjunction with health professionals who already visit pregnant women with healthy diet advice.”

Charities welcomed the idea but warned it may not be effective. Critics of the bonus, which will be paid to middle-class mothers as well as poorer families, are likely to say that the money may just be wasted because there is nothing to prevent pregnant women spending it on drink, cigarettes, chocolate or even clothes.

A nude photo is floating around the Web of Vanessa Hudgens, the 18-year-old star of “High School Musical 2″ and squeaky-clean “it” girl for the tweener set. Rep for Hudgens, 18, told tmz.com that the photo was taken privately. “It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public.” She wouldn’t say anything about who took the picture and how it slipped out onto the Internet.
The Disney Channel (part of the Walt Disney Co.) denied a published report that Hudgens will be dropped from the upcoming feature film “High School Musical 3.” That movie is in development and negotiations with the stars are incomplete.
Disney had no further comment about the pictures.

The Vanessa Hudgens nude photograph, which shows the 18-year-old posing nude in a bedroom, is provoking some younger fans to reconsider their loyalty to the actress, and has parents wondering how to explain to their kids that their favorite television personality isn’t as innocent as they’d once thought.

Researchers in the United States say men and women have dramatically different attitudes to the first kiss of a new relationship, while men consider the kiss is just a means to an end, for women it is a crucial element in finding a partner. A study of 1041 students at New York State University, published in Evolutionary Psychology, found women place more importance on kissing than men do and are more likely to evaluate their partner’s kissing ability on factors like smell of breath and appearance of teeth. She uses it, the study suggests, to assess a “rich and complex exchange” of romantic and chemical clues that pass between partners as their lips touch.

A kiss may contain potentially important information about your kissing partner, says George Gallup at the State University of New York, Albany, US. He said said kissing evolved as an adaptive courtship strategy used differently by the sexes. Read more of First Kiss More Important to Women than Men
