Delray Beach, Florida (PRWEB) March 05, 2015

Developers of 55-plus residential communities nationwide have introduced the latest luxurious amenities to attract a higher level of buyer. Features include finely detailed clubhouses, state-of-the-art fitness centers, even professional-caliber tennis courts and resort-style pool decks, like those that will be found with the opening of the Cabana Club Clubhouse this season at Ansca Homes Villaggio Reserve community in Delray Beach, Florida.

Along with an array of upgraded homes, the latest developer innovations deliver an elevated living experience unheard of in previous destination-style communities.

Todays 55-and-older home buyer expects the finest homes with the latest features, like granite countertops, upgraded appliances or fantastic floor plans and sight lines. Now, developers have to deliver all the trappings that bring resort-style living to life, said Ron Yuter, Senior Vice President of 55-plus home builder Ansca Homes in Boynton Beach, Florida. Luxury villa and single-family residences at its Villaggio Reserve community in Delray Beach range from the $290,000s through the $400,000s. Such amenities once were only available in million-dollar homes. How, theyre common across the spectrum of luxury developments.

When the Cabana Club clubhouse and "town square" opens next month, it will feature a host of popular amenities, including:

In another emerging trend, such amenities increasingly are found in one centralized community location. This can help reduce membership and maintenance fees and encourage residents to gather in a town square thats a short walk, bike ride or drive from any home in the neighborhood.

For many developers, a luxurious home used to set their community apart. Now, thats the baseline for entry. Discerning buyers today are asking What more do you have that says luxury to me? said Yuter. In the end, the real winner is the buyer.

BARCELONA -- Though BlackBerry does not plan on getting rid of its signature keyboard-equipped smartphones anytime soon, it has taken a leap of faith with its latest handset, the BlackBerry Leap. Aimed at the "young career builder," the Leap is a full-touchscreen device that will be available globally for $279 (which converts to around 180 or AU$350). It will launch first in Europe in April.

The 4G LTE phone will run the latest BlackBerry 10.3.1 OS on a 5-inch HD display. The touchscreen has a 1,280x720-pixel resolution with a 293ppi density, so it won't have the sharpest resolution compared to other flagships. But during our brief time with it, the panel was bright, responsive and sensitive to the touch. And of course, though it won't have a physical QWERTY keyboard, you'll be able to peck out messages and emails with a digital on-screen keyboard.

When we got to check it out up close, we noticed that the Leap felt thick, but it had solid build quality. It feels dense, and its rear backing had a patterned rubber texture that lent it a polished and elegant aesthetic.

For your camera needs, the phone has an 8-megapixel rear snapper that can shoot up to 1080p HD video. Inside is a Qualcomm MSM 8960 1.5GHz processor with 2GB of RAM. It packs 16GB of storage for firmware and for your movies and music, apps and snaps. However, if you find yourself needing more space, it does include a microSD card slot on its left edge. BlackBerry also promises 25 hours of heavy use from the beefy 2,800mAh battery.

The company, which is known for its software security, will outfit the Leap with encryption services, built-in malware protection, and options to backup and wipe the handset. Other software features include BlackBerry's cross-platform tool Blend, and BlackBerry Assistant.

The handset will be available in grey and white, and at $279 unlocked, it's a relatively affordable option for budget-conscious people. In addition to the Leap, the company also teased a dual-screen smartphone with a sliding keyboard nicknamed by CEO John Chen as "the Slider."

Clearing decks for raw sugar exports for the current season, the Ministry of Food is set to release export subsidy payment for the crushing season 2013-14 in two weeks.

The government had announced a subsidy of Rs 3300 a tonne to help mills export excess supply of the sweetener. But, because of sustained fall in sugar prices in the global markets, mills managed to execute only 0.75 million tonnes of export orders during the crushing season 2013-14.

At a time when mills are incurring losses to the tune of Rs 6-6.50 a kg of sugar production resulting into piling up of cane arrears to farmers, even a small payment release would provide a big support to them.

A highly placed industry source who held interaction with the Ministry of Food, said, "The government will release the subsidy amount in two weeks."

According to industry sources, the release of subsidy amount was held because of incomplete claims of some mills. But, the government held a considered view to release the amount to the tune of around Rs 247 crore. Of this, however, sugar mills in Maharashtra contribute to the tune of Rs 136-138 crore. Non-release of payment so far, however, created a panic among sugar mills to consider new quantity of sugar exports.

"The government has not yet released the subsidy payment of the last year despite applications made months ago. We were told that some mills' papers are incomplete. We have written to the Ministry of Food once again seeking details of such claim applications and requisites thereafter. But, there has been no response yet (from the Ministry)," said Sanjiv Babar, managing director, Maharashtra State Federation of Co-operative Sugar Factories (Sugar Federation).

While the subsidy was extended until September 2014, mills hardly get benefit of the facility due to continuous fall in sugar prices in global markets despite having around 7.5 million tonnes of surplus quantity left in India. Early February 2015, however, the government enhanced export subsidy amount to Rs 4000 a tonne with a quantity ceiling of 1.4 million tonnes.

While a notification in this regard is yet to be issued, sugar mills in Maharashtra are apprehensive about considering exports. To contract for export orders, however, mills require at least 15 days. A senior industry official said, 1.4 tonnes of raw sugar export quantity looks ambitious mainly because of the delay in notification and uncertainty over release of payment of the last season.

Govt may release sugar subsidy payment for last season in two weeks

Clearing the decks for raw sugar exports for the current season, the Ministry of Food is set to release export subsidy payment for the crushing season 2013-14 in two weeks.

The government had announced a subsidy of Rs 3,300 a tonne to help mills export excess supply of the sweetener. But because of sustained fall in sugar prices in the global markets, mills managed to execute only 0.75 million tonne of export orders during the crushing season 2013-14.

The amount, though small, would come as a big relief for mills, said a senior official at one of the largest crushing mills in India.

A highly placed industry source, who held talks with the Ministry of Food, said, The government will release the subsidy amount in two weeks.

According to industry sources, the release of subsidy amount was held up because of incomplete claims of some mills. But the government has now decided to release the amount, which is around Rs 247 crore. Of this, sugar mills in Maharashtra are to get around Rs 136-138 crore.

The government has not yet released the subsidy payment of the last year despite applications made months ago. We were told that some mills papers are incomplete. We have written to the Ministry of Food once again seeking details of such claim applicatants. But, there has been no response yet (from the Ministry), said Sanjiv Babar, managing director, Maharashtra State Federation of Co-operative Sugar Factories (Sugar Federation).

While a notification in this regard is yet to be issued, sugar mills in Maharashtra are apprehensive about considering exports. A senior industry official said 1.4 tonne of raw sugar export target looks ambitious mainly because of the delay in notification and uncertainty over release of last year's subsidy payment.

The government announced export subsidy on priority (first cum first served) basis in 2006-07 under which nine sugar mills executed a large quantity of exports. But, the government did not release payment for that also. Mills have filed complaints in the Bombay High Court and the matter is pending yet, said Babar.

Meanwhile, sugar mills in Maharashtra have crushed around 70% of cane available for crushing this season. However, mills are unable to pay even Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) of Rs 240 a quintal, resulting into piling up of arrears around Rs 13,000 crore.

The Maharashtra government is set to announce Rs 1,000 per tonne grant for sugar mills, which may be announced in a couple of days, said Babar.
