6 tips to get the most out of your bank account | Personal Finance ...

It is a well-known fact that banks add to your asset and give it security. But nowadays, the banks do more. They have stepped out of their conventional barrier to serve you in multiple ways. These financial hubs are now acting like guardians to guide you how to accumulate savings. However, you too can put into some meaningful effort to make the most of your bank account. Here are some wonderful 6 magic tips to be successful in your purpose.

Deal with the right bank: It is the foremost criterion to follow if you want to optimize your bank account. All banks do not offer the same facilities, so you need to shop around in search of the right bank that offers comfortable interest on borrowing, provides the option of direct deposit and free checking. Also make sure that the bank offers online transaction facilities and have several branches and ATM centers.

Plan in advance: If you are heading to a remote area, make it a point to know if your bank has an ATM corner in or around the place. If not, then it is better to carry a tidy sum of cash safely. Otherwise in times of emergency, if you draw cash from another bank?s ATM, you will be doubly whipped by fees from your bank and that bank too.

Know about the minimum balance requirements: Most of the banks charge monthly fees if their clients fail to maintain the minimum balance requirements. If you are not sure about meeting these obligations without fail, consider dealing with another bank that does not impose stringent rules regarding minimum account balances. You can also ask the bank authority if fees can be waived in the event of direct depositing of paycheck into your account.

Use debit & credit card wisely: If you are using these cards, never forget to get the transaction recorded in your bank passbook. In case you are using online banking facility, always check the balances. It will help you restrict your spending habit. Furthermore, you will never come in for shocking surprise.

Stay away from credit card debt: Always clear the credit card debt in full and on time so that you don?t get trapped into the worst debt scenario. Never forget about the due dates within which it is must to pay off. In a word, learn to use your credit cards with much prudence.

Make money more from your savings account: Several banks say, ?current account offers available?. But I personally feel, it is always better to go for savings account. One point needs to be mentioned in this context. Traditional savings account does not yield a decent interest rate but only-online money market makes much better offer.

There are several other points to consider thoroughly. Large constellation of many factors may be head-reeling for you, so better to consult a finance expert to guide you in this regard.

(AP) ? Riding a wave of momentum, Syrian rebels made a run on Aleppo Saturday in some of the fiercest fighting seen in the country's largest city, which has been a key bastion of support for President Bashar Assad over the course of the 17-month-old uprising.

The rebels also took over a third border crossing ? and the second one along Syria's northeastern frontier with Iraq ? another sign the regime's tight grip on the country is wobbling.

The fighting in Aleppo comes on the heels of intense clashes in the capital, Damascus, as rebel forces target the pillars of regime power in their attempts to usher in what they hope will be the end of Assad's rule.

"There were huge explosions and the gunfire didn't stop for several hours," Aleppo-based activist Mohammad Saeed told The Associated Press via Skype. "The uprising has finally reached Aleppo."

The city has remained largely loyal to Assad and been spared the kind of daily bloodshed that has plagued other areas.

But Saeed said dozens of fighters from the rag-tag Free Syrian Army entered Aleppo ? a commercial hub ? from the countryside and were fighting regime troops from inside.

It was the first sustained fighting in the city center, focused on the Salaheddine district, although there have been protests in Aleppo and violence on the outskirts.

The rebels have put the regime on the defensive after a week of battles in the capital, Damascus, including a bombing that struck at the heart of the regime, killing four high-level government officials. The coming days will be crucial to determining whether the regime can recover from the blows, which have punctured the sense that Assad's hold on the country is impenetrable.

Rebels also took over the Syrian side of the border crossing at the Iraqi town of Rabiya, 520 kilometers (320 miles) northwest of Baghdad, according to Atheel al-Nujaifi, the governor of Iraq's Ninevah province.

Iraqi officials said rebels tore up and shot at posters of Assad but did not face any resistance from regime authorities who surrendered the sprawling, dusty border crossing peacefully. Iraqi officials quickly barricaded the crossing and ordered additional troops to secure the area.

Rebels also seized the Syrian side of the border crossing at the Iraqi border town of Qaim on Thursday. Rebels also attacked a remote Syrian military post near the border on Thursday, killing 21 soldiers, and overran a border checkpoint with Turkey last week.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius warned Assad to prepare to leave.

"Bashar Assad's regime is condemned by his own people, who show great courage," Fabius said. "It's time to prepare for the transition and the day after."

He also encouraged the opposition ? which is fractious and beset by infighting ? to unite.

"It's time for the opposition to get started on taking control of the country," he said. "We want the rapid formation of an interim government that will be representative of the diversity of Syrian society."

Damascus and Aleppo are both home to elites who have benefited from close ties to Assad's regime, as well as merchant classes and minority groups who worry their status will suffer if Assad falls.

But for months, rebels have been gaining strength in poorer towns and cities in the Aleppo countryside, gaining footholds near the Turkish border.

Anger has been building inside Aleppo at the government's deadly crackdown on the uprising and in recent months, huge anti-government demonstrations have broken out, particularly among students at Aleppo University.

In May, Syrian forces stormed student dormitories during an anti-government protest at the university, firing tear gas and bullets in an hours-long siege that killed four students and forced the closure of the state-run school.

An amateur video posted online by activists showed Aleppo residents walking with bags of belongings or packing into cars and driving away.

Another video showed protesters pounding an iron bust of Assad's late father, Hafez, with rocks in an attempt to break it. The videos could not be independently verified.

Activists and residents reported relative calm in Damascus on Saturday, although sporadic gunfire and explosions could be heard.

Two residents who did not want to be identified for safety reasons said by telephone that the fighting peaked between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. local time.

One of the residents said most shops in the capital were closed Saturday and traffic was light.

Authorities have set up checkpoints at the entrances of Damascus in an effort to separate it from rebellious suburbs, and the resident said many grocery stores and vegetable vendors were unable to get supplies.

Piles of rubbish were starting to pile up in many parts of the city.

"The tension is palpable, people are scared about what might be coming," the resident said by telephone from the upscale middle class Mazzeh district. "A lot of people are just staying at home."

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and a Damascus-based activist said two people were found dead in the Midan district after regime forces stormed their apartment. The activist, who gave his name as Omar al-Dimashqi, said the pair had been stabbed with knives, but that could not be independently confirmed.

Syrian forces recaptured the battle-scarred neighborhood on Friday and proudly showed reporters the dead bodies of rebel fighters lying in rubble-strewn streets.

The fighting in Damascus has sent thousands of Syrians pouring into neighboring Lebanon and Iraq.

Iraqi officials said about 1,000 nationals had left in eight flights from Damascus over the last two days to escape the escalating civil war. An estimated 5,000 more has poured through a land crossing by Saturday, despite the rebel takeover of a major Syria border post farther north.

Capt. Saad al-Khafaji of the state-owned Iraqi Airways said Iraqi authorities sent four airplanes to Damascus airport Saturday to evacuate Iraqis stranded in the Syrian capital.

"The planes are waiting for Iraqi passengers, but few are showing up at Damascus airport," he said, adding it was due to difficulties in reaching the airport because of the violence.

Also Saturday, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he is sending U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous to Syria to assess the situation.

The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved a resolution Friday renewing the 300-strong U.N. observer force in Syria for 30 days. The resolution was a lifeline for the unarmed observers who were sent to Syria three months ago to monitor a cease-fire that never happened.

Ban urged all sides to stop the violence, but he singled out the Syrian government, saying it must "stop the killing and the use of heavy weapons against the population centers."

100% The Invisible War

According to our government's records, over 20% of female veterans were sexually assaulted while serving in the military. This is but one of the many damning statistics revealed in "The Invisible War", a documentary about soldiers raping soldiers and routinely getting away with it. Though most of the victims featured in the film are women, there's also a smattering of men. Not surprisingly, every single one of the accused rapists is a man. The stories the women tell are strikingly similar. Many came from military families and were gung-ho about serving their country. All loved the military at first but eventually found themselves in an environment where sexual harassment was rampant and accepted. Some complained to their superiors and were told to suck it up. All were eventually raped, some on more than one occasion. None of the rapists were ever prosecuted. In some cases, the women themselves were charged with fraternization or adultery after reporting the crimes. Pretty outrageous stuff to be sure, the sort of treatment of rape victims you'd expect to happen in Saudi Arabia, not here, in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But after hearing the women's stories it all starts to make sense. How they were threatened with demotions for filing false charges to discourage them from coming forward in the first place. How their commanding officers were often buddies with the rapists. How sometimes the commanding officers actually WERE the rapists. How these officers had complete discretion about whether to prosecute the cases or drop the charges. And how having documented rapes in their units would reflect poorly on them and possibly even harm their careers. Why does this all sound so familiar, I thought as I watched this film. And then it hit me. Jerry Sandusky and the Penn State scandal. A culture of protecting your peers. A culture of protecting the reputation of the institution. Repeated decisions by those who could help the victims to choose to not make waves for fear of jeopardizing their own careers. But the obvious difference here is that instead of one lone perv being allowed to go unpunished by a disapproving majority, many in the military seem to believe that sexual harassment of their female platoon-mates is perfectly OK, if not actually the women's fault. "The Invisible War" is the latest in a long line of outrage documentaries, meant to "raise awareness" about a particular issue and spur its viewers to action about handgun violence, melting ice caps, the health care crisis, or failing schools. But though some of these films are controversial, if there's another side to this particular story it's hard to imagine what it would be. The featured women are strong and credible and their experiences are so similar that it's almost impossible to doubt them. Perhaps the stance that some of them have adopted whereby they actually advise potential female recruits not to sign up for fear that they'll also be raped seems a bit exaggerated, but it's certainly understandable. There is nothing at all enjoyable about watching "The Invisible War". The only ray of hope is a title card inserted before the closing credits that indicates that the film's viewing by key lawmakers has prompted one significant change for the better. So at least that's something. But as the movie also points out, it's already been over twenty years since the 1991 Tailhook scandal brought sexual assault in the military to the forefront. Small victories notwithstanding, celebrating may still be a bit premature.

Get Voice Enabled Google Now On Any Android Device Running ICS

A couple of weeks ago, we posted a method to get Google Now on devices running Android 4.0 or higher. Although said procedure was effective enough to give your rooted Android device a taste of the revamped and intelligent version of Google Search (now popularly known as Google Now), it lacked a very important feature: voice search. However, as is so often the case in the Android realm, a workaround is never too far away. XDA member SilentStormer has managed to come up with a solution that lets you use Google Now through voice recognition, too. As with the previous method, this latest solution is also meant to be working with just AOSP-based ICS ROMs, and hence requires a rooted Android device. It must be mentioned here that the solution mentioned in this particular post requires a couple of additional steps in order to get things sorted out accordingly. That said, should you be able to follow the process correctly, rest assured that you won?t be missing Jelly Bean on your device a great deal ? not at least in terms of availing the much-revered Google Now functionality.

First things first, and you should have a good idea about rooting. New to Android? Maybe you can find some much-needed assistance from our detailed guide on rooting Android devices. Once that is taken care of, you?ll need to proceed as follows:

  • First up, download Voice Search for Google Now! from Google Play Store. Do not launch the app (just as a precaution).
  • Using a root-level file explorer (ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, Astro File Manager etc), navigate to the system/app folder on your Android, and rename the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to GoogleQuickSearchBox.bak
  • Download the Velvet-thes0o-5.apk file from this Mediafire link, and rename the downloaded file to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
  • Move or copy the renamed APK file to the system/app folder, and make sure that the file permissions are set as RW-R-R.
  • Reboot the device
  • After rebooting, you may hit the Voice Search app from within the app drawer, long press the search button on your device, or hit the mic icon on the dedicated Google Search widget and select Voice Search for Google Now from the dropdown, to launch Voice Search
  • Speak into the mic, wait for the spoken text to be interpreted, and if things go as they are meant to go, the next screen you?ll be seeing should be that of Google Now, complete with smart cards (if applicable), quick search buttons and search results.

Voice-Enabled-Google-Now-Android-WidgetVoice-Enabled-Google-Now-Android-Speak

On the positive side, this particular method will provide you with most of the goodies that one expects to have with the official Google Now build for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. For instance, you have your smart cards, automatic search suggestions, search history, TTS (to playback spoken content), notification bar alerts for smart cards, Knowledge Graph (the key to the entire smart card suggestion thing), and all the various customizations that Google Now has to offer for weather, traffic, appointment, travels, flights, public transits, places, sports and notification settings.

Now to a bit of anticlimax; the Google Now feature, as mentioned in this particular guide, works way better than the previous method, but it requires you to re-launch the Voice Search app in order to conduct a new voice-based query. Moreover, speaking into the mic won?t automatically launch the search result page, as is the case with the ?real thing?. Instead, it requires you to manually push the search button once you?ve input the required query.

We?ve tested the procedure in question on Samsung Galaxy S II (running Paranoid Android custom ROM), and can confirm that, besides a few aforementioned quirks, it works very much akin to the original thing.

Renault, Nissan invest in South Korea production

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? The French-Japanese auto alliance of Renault and Nissan is investing $160 million in its South Korean unit to produce Nissan-branded vehicles mostly destined for the United States, taking advantage of the South Korea-U.S. free trade agreement and a more favorable exchange rate.

The investment, announced Friday, will help utilize unused capacity at Renault Samsung Motors' Busan plant, which has cut production to 180,000 vehicles a year, well below its full capacity of 300,000 vehicles, as sales slumped at home and abroad.

The plant will use the investment to annually produce 80,000 next-generation Nissan Rogue crossover sport-utility vehicles starting in 2014. They will be shipped to North America and a few Asian countries, said Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn.

With the production of Nissan-branded cars, South Korea and the struggling Renault Samsung Motors are moving closer to becoming an export base for the Renault-Nissan Alliance, which has been expanding outside Europe and especially in Asia.

"Korea is a very competitive base," Ghosn said at a news conference in Seoul.

"The Korean government has done a great job in supporting this industry with very competitive foreign exchange rates, which has allowed the industry ... to really weather the storm very well and continue to expand."

Japanese automakers have been hammered by the strong yen which erodes profit from cars produced in Japan and then shipped overseas. To counter the unfavorable exchange rate, Japanese car makers have increasingly moved production abroad, making countries such as Thailand important auto production bases.

But Ghosn said Renault has no plan to increase the capacity of the Busan plant. "The 300,000 capacity that we have in Busan should be little by little filled."

The move to beef up production in South Korea is unique among major Japanese automakers. Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. do not have plants in South Korea.

The move is also noteworthy for taking advantage of a trade deal that Japan lacks. South Korea is ahead of Japan in such deals, and already has a free trade agreement with the U.S., and is negotiating deals with Canada and Mexico, where the Rogue is also headed.

Renault was the first European carmaker to set up operations in South Korea. In 1994, Nissan formed Samsung Motors Inc. with Samsung Group. In 2000, Renault SA of France purchased 70.1 percent of Samsung Motors, which had entered bankruptcy in the wake of the Asian financial crisis, and renamed it Renault Samsung. Renault now owns 80.1 percent of the manufacturer.

Analysts said the investment is Renault's quick fix for its ailing South Korean unit, which has been squeezed by nimble rivals Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors.

"It appears to be an emergency patch to push the factory operation back to the normal level, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term strategy," said Bok Deuk-kyu, a senior analyst at Samsung Economic Research Institute in Seoul.

The French carmaker had risen to No. 2 by market share in South Korea in 2003 thanks to the popularity of its SM5 model. But in recent years, it has lagged behind Hyundai, Kia and GM Korea, and is closely trailed by Ssangyong Motor.

The investment comes at a difficult time for Renault Samsung. In 2011, it lost 292 billion won ($256 million) and a plunge in sales had even set off speculation that Renault may sell the South Korean unit. Ghosn said the announcement underlined its commitment to Renault Samsung.

Its South Korean sales in the first half of this year plunged 33 percent from a year earlier to 83,062 vehicles. Last month, South Korea's smallest auto player Ssangyoong Motor Co. sold more cars than Renault Samsung.

All automakers are eager to boost their business in rapidly growing Asia.

Renault expects to sell more than half of its vehicles outside of Western Europe next year, up from 37 percent in 2010. Renault is aiming for 10 percent market share in South Korea, up from 4.4 percent in the first half of this year, and 7 percent last year.

The alliance between Renault and Nissan was born in 1999, when Nissan was near bankruptcy.

Ghosn, who was sent in by Renault to turn around Nissan, is revered as a management role-model in Japan. Under Ghosn, Nissan has returned to strong growth, despite setbacks last year from the earthquake and tsunami disasters in northeastern Japan. The Renault-Nissan alliance sold a record 8.03 million vehicles worldwide last year.
