Kimberley Process, made it clear that, although KP chairman Matheiu Yamba authorized
exports from the region, the group doesn't consider the issue settled. "The WDC
urges all members of the trade to deal only in rough diamonds that are accompanied
by KP certificates that comply with the consensus decisions of the Kimberley Process,"
said a statement. shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4gtm49n6&et=1106249309267&s=0&e=001yA-nNtlohyzfvHPqh0hKOdTxD1V9QOn1-SimIIIlDbUROucDkAW8sp1YR4wm6sKvu0-Bbw6ccTWHdM1FY3cJ98_yGk2PYJ93HX1X5QrjIT75-QPw2hHmoWfJQPttwhJS5sgHFvYeyD9vv0FCdZ-johE20ooL3ri9c8z2lL2UEvCYaAgWiWre-fCD7JJMlSD4VkeV2iL_nnM="

of a set of standards designed to combat the issue of "conflict" gold. Developed
by the WGC, its member companies and leading gold refiners, the standards outline
a system for tracking gold from the mine to end of the refining process.

New York is without a doubt one of the most important diamond trading hubs in the
world. And the heart of the New York diamond industry is the famed 47th Street,
which is due for a paradigm change when the International Gem Tower opens for business
and many of the city's diamond and jewelry dealers relocate into the state-of-the-art
facility. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4gtm49n6&et=1106249309267&s=0&e=001yA-nNtlohyzfvHPqh0hKOdTxD1V9QOn1-SimIIIlDbUROucDkAW8sp1YR4wm6sKvu0-Bbw6ccTWuij2V849rprTT3W-zjp5rHo2ZqnOhbDA2ULDUYPZMwRkVAL62LoPJe8dIcGD4ievn_NZ0rYY1I9rvwe_JLSI73TR_sDoj_lpk3T7-e7mByhbTEn8XiDUz"

The average customer considers the price of a product to be a key factor in their
purchase decision. When you ask consumers about certain retail establishments, they
may respond with a phrase such as, "that place is expensive, but they have great
service," or perhaps remark that it's, "inexpensive but offers poor service and
weak inventory." shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4gtm49n6&et=1106249309267&s=0&e=001yA-nNtlohyzfvHPqh0hKOdTxD1V9QOn1-SimIIIlDbUROucDkAW8sp1YR4wm6sKvu0-Bbw6ccTWHdM1FY3cJ9yCVun_rdrlX8_QskfMiqa45L-F3xJphcWHE_lJG605gN2aIYGUxhg_dlF-BYoLCLkgCb7Jxjs4nTG3eYZtgRx4s_sS3js9t6vv2ESZxGWocN4YFrT-3s-It6eKflCCWw22r_n4Gyu_T"

credit card. The ready availability of consumer credit facilitates commerce, at
the counter and online, by allowing consumers to make purchases now and pay later.
For the most part, the risk of non-payment is carried by the credit card issuer,
who also assumes responsibility for collection. track="on" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=4gtm49n6&et=1106249309267&s=0&e=001yA-nNtlohyzfvHPqh0hKOdTxD1V9QOn1-SimIIIlDbUROucDkAW8sp1YR4wm6sKvu0-Bbw6ccTWHdM1FY3cJ97R0jFQnz78d6KutEjIMvH1CeQhXuGTaO-Q5hwySRpptxfGcPluibYSYQokyqapQBqTLShidL5O9OniwVkJyOeIPwtKWYwsDYKOobKHiC3KN1CKKMBlc1L6OttS30uHTgg=="
