UK lawmakers urge caution in arms exports
LONDON (AP) ? Britain has issued more than 3,000 licenses allowing the export of arms and military equipment to countries where the U.K. has concerns about human rights, according to a report from lawmakers published Wednesday.
The House of Commons Committees on Arms Export Controls said the combined value of the individual export licenses came to more than 12 billion pounds ($18.1 billion). It urged the government to exercise more caution in approving applications for the export of arms to countries with authoritarian regimes.
Britain's Foreign Office has a list of 27 nations where the U.K. government has wide-ranging concerns about the human rights situation, including Myanmar, China, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Libya and Syria. According to the report, all but two of the 27 ? North Korea and South Sudan ? have valid export licenses in play. Among the countries of concern, the largest number of licenses were issued for exports to China, Saudi Arabia and Israel.
While it said many of the licenses were for items "not readily usable" for internal repression, the committees said a "surprisingly large" number of licenses were issued to exporters sending arms to countries where human rights are a concern.
The scale of the licenses "puts into stark relief the inherent conflict between the government's arms exports and human rights policies," said John Stanley, chairman of the committees.
"The committees adhere to their previous recommendation that the government should apply significantly more cautious judgments when considering arms export license applications for goods to authoritarian regimes 'which might be used to facilitate internal repression' in contravention of the government's stated policy."
In response to the report, the British government stressed it takes its export responsibilities "very seriously" and that it has "one of the most rigorous arms export control regimes," under which licenses are not granted when there is deemed to be a risk that goods would be used for internal repression or to provoke or prolong conflict in the countries they are exported to.
The government added in a statement that all of the licenses highlighted in the committees' report had been "fully assessed" against a range of strident criteria to ensure goods would not be used for internal repression, to provoke or prolong conflict within a country, used aggressively against another country or risk Britain's national security.
The Committees on Arms Export Controls is made up of the House of Commons defense, foreign affairs, international development and business, innovation and skills committees.

How To Deal With Personal Finance Issues - Homesoon Accounting
For some people, a financial problem can lead to depression and even suicide. Don?t allow yourself to be like that. No matter what financial woes you are facing, there is always hope. There are many actions that can be taken to save more money and effectively manage your finances. Read the following tips to find out how to gain control of your finances.
Money management is key to success. Profits need to be protected and reinvested as capital in the business. Allocating profits into capital to build a larger foundation for growth is acceptable, however, managing those profits wisely allows you to see return from your investments. Choose how much of your profit will become capital and stick to the portion or amount.
The standard warranty is usually either 90 days or a year, which is plenty of time for most defective parts to quit on you. Extended warranties make someone a lot of money, but it isn?t you.
Tips Pay attention to trends when investing in forex. You need to know a lot of information, so you know how to sell high and buy low.
When working on personal finances, patience can help you save a lot. A brand-new electronic device, for instance, will entice some people into making an immediate purchase. It would help to wait a while, since electronics prices decrease as time passes. This will give you much more money to use for other things.
A good health insurance policy can save you from financial strife. It is inevitable that you will get sick some time or another. For this reason, it is important to be covered. Hospital and medical bills can climb as high as twenty thousand dollars or more in some instances. Paying for proper medical care is not possible without a good insurance plan.
Spread your purchases across several credit cards instead of using one that is nearing your credit balance limit. The payments on two smaller balances can be lower than trying to pay off a card that has reached its limit. This can serve as a great technique towards improving your credit score in the long run.
Tips Buying items on sale can add up to big budget savings. Stop loyal purchasing of certain brands and buy whatever you have a coupon for.
If collectors are harrassing you for repayment of debts, try and do some negotiating with them. Your debt was probably purchased for a small amount of money. By talking them down, you can pay less than what you originally owed while they still make a profit. Use this to your advantage and pay a lower price for that old debt.
Save money from each of your checks. It is easier to save money every week rather than waiting to see what you have left when the month is over. Setting this money aside right away, makes it out of sight and out of mind. It becomes easier to see what remaining amount you have to spend, therefore, you will be less likely to be tempted to use it on a whim. You will also not be giving yourself a chance to forget to set some money aside.
Tips The best way to stay one step ahead of financial problems is to advance plan for your future. It can be quite motivating to form a financial plan, as it provides you with concrete reasons for working harder, saving and avoiding needless spending.
Now that you?ve learned what to do about your finances, life should be getting good again. This should give you an idea on how you?re going to improve financially. Now that you have a shimmer of hope, share your insights ? and this article ? with friends who need some assistance too.

Nissan's Datsun Readies for Comeback. Grand Unveiling in India Today
Nissan Motor Co's Datsun brand is all set to make a comeback in the Indian auto market after a gap of 33 years on Monday
The Japanese car maker is all set to pull the wraps off its new Datsun car, K2, as a concept in New Delhi at the hands of Carlos Ghosn, Head of Renault-Nissan.
Vicent Cobee, Corporate Vice-President of Nissan Motor's Datsun business unit, speaking to Business Line said, "India is probably the most competitive country in the world for the automotive industry. It does not cover 100 per cent of technology or components required to make a car but it is giving a good 97 per cent."
The soon-to-be-launched car is expected to be priced in the ?2-?4 lakhs range and is expected to invite direct competition from Maruti Alto 800 and Hyundai Eon.
Seeking to tap into the ultra-low cost car market, Nissan plans to expand its Datsun brand in emerging markets like India, Indonesia, South Africa and Russia, before moving onto other markets like Southeast Asia, Middle East and Latin America.
"We want to stay focused on four countries (India, Russia, Indonesia and South Africa) initially and make this project a reality. Of course, we will go beyond that because the emerging new middle-class will hopefully happen in many places," Cobee said.
Apart from the K2, the company also plans to roll out another model by 2014 end and the third model in 2016, according to Reuters.

A stroke of luck - Shopkeeper wins Nestl? Community Fest raffle
Christopher Serju, Gleaner Writer
GOLDEN SPRING, St Andrew:"I FEEL good! I am happy because I just finished my house and I really needed a stove," Angella Allen told The Gleaner, having taken the top prize in the Nestl? Community Fest raffle held at the Golden Spring Community Centre, St Andrew, last Saturday.
Even though she had arrived home quite some time before, with no intention of heading back out, upon getting the phone call, Allen gladly left her mother in charge of the small shop she operates in New Garden, a community near to Golden Spring, and chartered a taxi to take her back to the venue she had left hours before.
The caller wanted to know if she could get back to the community centre before 8 o'clock, intimating that her small gamble in the day might have paid off in a big way.
As the vehicle zipped along the road, she recalled how the emcee had kept stressing that by purchasing at least $500 worth of Nestl? products, one would get a chance to enter the Nestl? Community Fest raffle. The prizes were a pressure cooker, a microwave oven, and the really big one, a four-burner gas stove, but Allen knew she had no chance of winning anything. So with nothing to lose, she bought six cans of Suppligen for the shop, hung around and chatted with friends for a while before heading back to relieve her mother.
Back at the venue, Allen quickly identified herself, and upon being called on stage, just couldn't believe when DJ Sparks advised her that she had, in fact, won a four-burner gas stove. Not until it was in her house and she was checking out the stove with her mother and son did it really sink in.
Pointing to the timing of the win, just after the completion of her house and now looking to furnish it, the shopkeeper related that having heard about the community fest well in advance, she had planned to visit but could not stay long to really enjoy the event because Saturday was usually one of the more brisk business days.
The short visit paid off, however, and she is looking forward to the next Nestl? promotion and will most definitely be there.
knowledge of cooking
Allen was just one of many winners on a day when residents of New Garden, Golden Spring, Boon Hall, Stony Hill, Lawrence Tavern, Temple Hall, Glengoffe, Unity, Border, and Mount James turned out for the culmination of Nestl?'s Knock at Your Gate competition.
Residents competed in netball, football, basketball, sprint races, dominoes, and arm wrestling, among other events. The MAGGI Mobile proved a big hit with householders who were impressive with their knowledge of cooking and nutrition, for which they won Nestl? products.
Stephen Summers, sales manager at Nestl? Jamaica, attributed the mobile's growing popularity to the fact that many times, participants surprised themselves upon recognising how much they actually knew about the different food groups and other aspects of proper meal preparation.
The knowledge exchange, he explained, was in keeping with the company's islandwide promotion aimed at creating shared values by educating customers about proper nutrition, health, and wellness. He said it was important that Jamaicans be able to make informed decisions in respect of how their hard-earned cash was spent in order to ensure they got maximum value.
