China Merchant Bank Targets the Rich – $1million in Assets or More

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 12:16 PM PDT

China Merchants Bank of Shenzhen is China's sixth largest lender.

The bank has established a 'diamond workshop' and will be targeting China's 345,000 millionaires (up from 320,000 in 2005).

If an individual is worth 10 million yuan ($1.32 million) or more, they will be allowed to bank with Merchants Bank.

Private banking is at the top of pyramid of banking services.

Private banking services in the United States have an average profit of 35% and yearly growth of

12-15%.

China Merchants Bank in Shenzhen is the second Chinese bank to enter the private banking sector.

The first was the Bank of China and teammate Royal Bank of Scotland which kicked off its services in Shanghai earlier this year.

If you were worth a million or more, where would you like to bank at?

Ashley Alexandra Dupre and Eliot Spitzer in China?

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 08:13 AM PDT

Eliot Spitzer, governor of New York, was caught messing around with a call girl, now identified as Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

For pix, go to Smoking Gun.

Apparently, you can participate in a poll to see where you stand at her value of $4000/2 hours.

She has a MySpace page.

The question … what does this have to do with China?

What if a governor of a province in China were caught messing around with a call girl?

Would he have to step down, bow out, call it a career?

What if a governor of a province in China messed around?

The answer – so, what if?

Having mistresses is a fact of life in China. Sad to say, the normal folk might even wonder what's up with their governor that he can't even keep a couple extra girls on the side?

Only America can get its underwear in a knot over such a fiasco, no?

Private Sector Increased Hopes For The US Economy By Hiring Too Many People

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 06:59 AM PDT

The rate of people hired in the private sector in the month of August raised the hopes of the US economy, which at present is quite unstable. To be precise, 67,000 people were employed in a single month. But the overall unemployment rate of the US suggests that it is going to be a real tough job for the economy to normalize.

Chief Economist at the Moody's Economy.com, Mark Zandi said, "Despite a better-than-expected private employment number for August, the economy is not out of the woods yet and the jobs market is likely to struggle through the rest of the year. The coast is not clear, I think it's very unlikely that we will not get to over 10 percent this year, and that means policymakers can't stand still. The Federal Reserve has to do more, and so does the President."

The unemployment rate rose by point one per cent last month. In July, it was 9.5, whereas, in August the reports showed 9.6.

Later it was found that there was no reason to worry about, a metal canister that exactly looked like a pipe bomb had created the tension in the atmosphere.

The metal canister was the property of a 70 year old scientist, informed the US government official. He said, “So far there is nothing nefarious."

16 praise thoughts from Psalm 7

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 04:12 AM PDT

I missed the opportunity to study the Bible with others this morning in Bible school. Our family made it for the second hour of worship, but not the first.

I decided to take a look at Psalm 7 on my own to see how I might praise God today.

I praise God because:

1. in Him I find refuge

2. He saves and delivers me

3. He opposes adversaries of righteousness

4. judgment in His hands

5. He sits on high

6. He vindicates

7. He brings to an end the wicked

8. He establishes the righteous

9. He is my shield

10. He saves the upright in heart

11. He is indignant always at wrongdoing

12. to Him I give thanks

13. to Him I sing praise

14. His name is Lord Most High

How do you praise God when you read Psalm 7?

Watch Munni Badnaam Hui video from Salman Khan’s Dabangg

Posted: 03 Sep 2010 12:20 AM PDT

Munni Badnaam Hui is a item song from Salman Khans upcoming Film ‘Dabaangg’ which is due to release on September 10th. Watch the video song. KAtrina Kaif turned down to perform in the song at the last minute

Apunkachoice.com writes “Those who think that Malaika Arora was roped in at the last minute to do the raunchy item song Munni Badnaam Hui in Dabangg after Katrina Kaif turned down the song, here's a clarification from none other than the movie's lead actor Salman Khan.”

Admitting that he loved working with Malaika, who is the wife of his younger brother Arbaaz Khan, Salman said Katrina was never considered for the song.

The superstar also spoke about how the project came into being, from scripting stages, to choosing the director Abhinav Kashyap and the film's music.

Salman added that he enjoyed working with Sonakshi Sinha who makes her debut with the film set for release on September 10.

Entetainment.oneindia.com reports It seems that the song 'Munni Badnam Hui…' from the movie 'Dabangg' has become famous day in and day out as it is being used in most of the dance sequences on the small screen. Especially after Sara Khan performed on it in the marriage of Deeya Singh and Tony Singh's 'Baat Hamari Pakki Hai
on Sony TV.

Next it was the turn of Bobby Darling who performed on the same number in 'Dil Mill Gayye'. A source says, "Bobby Darling has made one day appearance on the sets of 'Dill Mill Gayye' to perform on the 'Munni Badnam Hui…'.number. The sequence was all about the bachelors party of Siddharth (Karan Wahi) where Sid calls some bold and beautiful girls to dance and have fun with them. But their plans go awry when Bobby Darling appears to entertain them and have some sizzling moves with them. The shoot took place 4 days before."

Karan Wahi says, "It was fun to be with Bobby. But I could not interact with her a lot because the entire day I was running here and there for the sequence. As she was with us only for one day, we had to complete the scene on the same day. Therefore, we could not meet properly. In fact, it was very tiring experience I would say."
