HSBC, through its wholly owned subsidiary The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, has undertaken to subscribe for its full entitlement of H-shares in the planned Bank of Communications rights issue of new A- and H-shares, details of which were announced by Bank of Communications today.

Under the terms of the transaction, HSBC has agreed to subscribe for 1,396,802,037 H-rights shares at HK$5.14 per share. The transaction represents a consideration of approximately HK$7,180 million (approximately US$921 million), which will be funded from internal Group resources.

Michael Geoghegan, HSBC's Group Chief Executive and Chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, said: "Bank of Communications is our strategic banking partner in mainland China and we are very pleased with the progress we have made together over the last six years. HSBC is already the leading international bank in China, and our strategy is to expand through a range of strategic partnerships and by further developing our own HSBC network, which will shortly reach 100 outlets."

HSBC made its first investment in Bank of Communications, China's fifth largest bank by total assets, in August 2004, and its current shareholding in Bank of Communications is 19.01 per cent. HSBC cooperates with Bank of Communications on over 60 initiatives, including joint credit card activities in China, renminbi (RMB) trade settlement and payments and cash management services. The joint credit card activities in China were launched in October 2004, with over 13 million cards now in issue.

HSBC's undertaking to subscribe to the H-share rights is subject to certain conditions.

Arraial do Cabo - Desde que assumiu a Prefeitura de Arraial do Cabo, em janeiro de 2009, o prefeito Wanderson Cardoso de Brito, o Andinho, não mediu esforços no sentido de buscar recursos para o município. Sempre acreditando que um dia iria fazer a diferença e escrever uma nova história no município, Andinho enfrentou obstáculos para vencer mais uma batalha, o reconhecimento de Arraial do Cabo, pela Agência Nacional de Petróleo (ANP) como município produtor de petróleo.

Há um ano, o prefeito vem travando uma luta para aumentar a arrecadação dos royalties de Arraial do Cabo, que é de, aproximadamente, R$400 mil por mês. O presidente da ANP, Haroldo Lima, reconheceu a cidade de Arraial do Cabo como município da zona principal de produção e, com isso, a cidade passará a receber royalties como município produtor, a exemplo de Cabo Frio, Búzios, Quissamã, Macaé e Campos.

Infantry school leaders seek more female CIs

CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. — All female Marines are trained in common combat skills here at School of Infantry East and, since 2008, have had the benefit of female combat instructors as role models.

Leaders view the female instructors as a critical new addition and say more are needed.

“All instructors train all [new Marines], but you want to have at least one female Marine per company because that gives those female Marines someone to look up to and idolize,” said Gunnery Sgt. Jody Armentrout, the school’s chief instructor.

Staff Sgt. Marcella Mejia became a combat instructor in September 2009 and said she has learned more and had more fun than she would have in her primary job as a court stenographer.

The last time she touched a machine gun, she said, was as a new Marine in Marine Combat Training at the School of Infantry, where she now teaches.

“As non-infantry, we don’t have the opportunity to do that stuff. We’re stuck in an office and don’t get to do stuff on the ranges and with guns,” said Mejia, who joined the Corps in 1999.

Rumours have been circulating that a series of devastating earthquakes are to strike the planet over the next few weeks. Astrologer Ken Ring claims he accurately predicted the recent Christchurch quake and says another will occur in New Zealand by or on March 20, as well as one in the U.S.

Ring bases all his forecasts on his study of the moon and weather patterns. Only time will tell if he is correct, but scientifically speaking, the ability to prognosticate tremors successfully is still beyond us. Although Russian and British scientists are working on a way to predict earthquakes, it is still an elusive ability
