NOC hikes petrol price by Rs 2.50; diesel, kerosene prices by Rs 2

Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) today hiked petrol, diesel and kerosene prices.
"Petrol will now cost Rs 80 per litre -- dearer by Rs 2.50 -- and diesel and kerosene will now cost Rs 61 per litre -- Rs 2 dearer -- in Kathmandu Valley," said the NOC.
However, consumers have to pay a little more as Nepal Petroleum Dealers' Association (NPDA) that distributes petroleum products throughout the country always sells petroleum products after adding costs. It raised the price to stop the back flow of the petroleum products to India as there has been price difference in between Indian and Nepali markets.
The state oil monopoly has not changed the price of cooking gas, that according to the corporation, is making loss. LPG -- popularly known as cooking gas -- costs Rs 1250 per cylinder.
NOC has also not changed the Aviation Turbine Fuel (duty paid) that it is selling at Rs 75 per litre and ATF (bonded) that it is selling at $805 per 1,000 litre.
Earlier, on February 18, NOC increased the price of kerosene and diesel each by a rupee per litre making them Rs 59 per litre in the Valley. But the price in Tarai districts was increased to Rs 57.70 per litre only.
NOC had then also decided to increase the price as, according to it, the sole supplier of petroleum products had been incurring losses in both diesel and kerosene that is the poor men's fuel.
The state-owned petroleum importer had been -- after the price hike -- raking in a profit of Rs 20 million a month against its loss of Rs 37.5 million per month
NOC has been adjusting prices of petroleum products every month as since last year prices started fluctuating, pushing the state-owned corporation into the red.
Earlier, it had increased the price of kerosene and diesel by Rs 3 per litre on November 17. Then, both kerosene and diesel prices were hiked to Rs 58 per litre. NOC used to make a profit of Rs 4 on a litre of kerosene after the hike, while it incurred a loss of Rs 2.50 on a litre of diesel.
NOC had started making profit when the downward revision of prices started in October 2008, which continued till March. But the rise in prices of petroleum products in the international market again brought it to its knees.
Every month -- on 16th as per the Roman calendar -- NOC receives a new price list for petrol, diesel from the IOC -- its sole supplier. However, on the first of every month, it receives a new price list for petrol, diesel, kerosene, Air Turbine Fuel (ATF) and cooking gas.

More and more people in today's world have a memory of playing video games as children. With every new generation, games have been advancing and continue to be popular. This doesn't seem to stop, and so the trend will continue.

Buying the best system for your gaming preferences can be touch. Think about what you like in a gaming system and find the wii that best suits your needs. Research the gaming systems on the Internet. Check out reviews from other gamers, too. Before purchasing a playstation, educate yourself.

Create a safe online gaming environment for your kids. Keep track of the people they're playing with. Certain unsavory individuals have been known to reach children via online computer games. It is up to you to protect your children and limit their playmates to those you both understand.

Gaming today is a bit more complicated than it was in the past. You need to be aware of things like HD capability, component cables, AV cables, and which systems use which technology. You may think it is all very daunting, but as long as you do your research prior to buying, it is easy to steer clear of issues.

It is important to take breaks and avoid excessive video game playing. It's fairly easy to get addicted to a particular game, and this isn't healthy so you must get away from it every once in a while. Gaming is meant to be an enjoyable experience. Should you feel that addiction is an issue, speak to a medical professional about help.

Look for sales if you want to obtain inexpensive games that your kids will enjoy. Many video stores aren't doing well. If you look, you might find a video store that is going to close soon and find some fantastic deals on games and accessories. While the discs should be in working condition, a quick clean works wonders.

Never clean your system, no matter the age, with strong cleaners. Lightly blowing can help to remove dust, and this is often all it takes to get things up and running. You can destroy your wii if you use harsh chemicals on it.

It's best to try out a game alone first. There is no point playing a game online if you are having trouble playing the traditional version! If the game is too hard, trade it and get something you prefer. It is time to find a new game if you are getting frustrated and do not have fun anymore.

The PS2 is 12 years old and kind of outdated, but the one thing it has going for it is that it is very cheap. The games for this system are about half the prices of Xbox and PS3 games. There are also many more games available.

If possible, try games out before you buy them at your local library. Most public libraries offer video games that can be checked out for free. The library usually has game titles for all different systems, so simply call ahead and see if they have the title you want.

Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

Not every online game out there is worth playing. The main thing you need to know in order to enjoy your gaming experience is which games are shovelware or otherwise bad games. Apply the tips from this helpful article and you will be on your way to enjoying your gaming experience to the fullest.
