Universities abroad mostly make it mandatory for students to have medical coverage. Some universities insist on certain specific requirements such as a minimum medical sum insured, maternity expenses,coverage of mental and nervous disorders, drug and alcohol abuse and inter-collegiate sports injuries.Studying your course fee structure closely would be a good idea. It will help you ascertain whether the cost of health insurance is included in the fees. Next, you need to figure out whether your university allows you to replace this built-in cover with a health policy, that is, student cover from an Indian insurer of your choice.If the answer is yes,you’re in luck.
A student can buy student health insurance cover in India with one-third the premium he/she would have to pay for a similar cover in a foreign country. Additionally, Indian travel cover ensures that students are covered round-the-clock for all in-patient and outpatient treatments when they are abroad. This is unlike many universities who only cover students within the premises. The cover offered by some universities restricts students to a specific list of hospitals. Read more of this post

Negotiating salary can be tough, especially in a poor job market. However, you can still do your best to get the best offer possible. Here are five ways that will never fail you.
1 Never Underestimate Yourself Believe in yourself. Have faith in your skill sets when on the negotiating table. You should feel that you are the one who can do justice to that job. This faith will help you swim out of a poor employer market.
2 Figure Out your Market Value Do some research on the salary you can command, with your skill sets and experience level. There are good online sites for this. Besides, check with your peers from other companies. Do the same if you’re changing your industry. In that case, ask people to help you reach a conclusion.This will make your demand for a salary, when you put a figure to employers, believable and more acceptable.
3 Take Calculated Risks When it comes to quoting a figure for salary, you should always take a calculated risk. With the interactions during the interview process, you can judge how much they have liked you for the job. Your judgement will get further strengthened when they negotiate on your date of joining as they would like to buy your notice period and expect you to join as soon as possible.

The Premier Blue is the largest round fancy vivid blue diamond to have been graded by the Gemological Institute of America, said Sotheby’s. It was sourced from the Premier (formerly known as Cullinan) mine near Pretoria, South Africa, the world’s main provider of blue diamonds.It is a brilliant-cut internally flawless stone, weighing 7.59 carats.
The pigmentation of blue diamonds is caused by the presence of boron atoms. The higher the concentration of that element, the deeper the color.“Fancy Vivid” is the grade with the highest saturation of color,
Colored stones, which account for about 0.01 percent of mined diamonds, dominate the top end of the jewelry market. Their scarcity and aesthetic appeal have triggered record auction prices in recent years, led by the 45.4 million Swiss francs ($45.6 million) paid by the London-based jeweler Graff for a 24.78-carat “Fancy Intense Pink” at Sotheby’s, Geneva, in November 2010.
