A notice published by the Jamaica Stock Exchange in its daily stock market report on Tuesday, February 8, advised "on December 17, 2004, AIC Barbados Limited transferred 6,274,263 shares in National Commercial Bank Jamaica Ltd. to Mr. [Aubyn Hill]." The disclosure by the JSE contradicts previous reports published elsewhere in the print media which suggested that the former NCB executive had collected a settlement amount of between US$750,000 and US$1 million. It is clear that, excluding NCB's board and Mr. Hill, no one knows for sure what were the exact terms of the settlement at the negotiating table.
High Commissioner [Maxine Roberts] was praised for her dedication and commitment to both Jamaica and Jamaican community in the United Kingdom (UK). Manager of National Commercial Bank, UK Operations, Dale Robinson said Miss Roberts was a true friend to the Jamaican businesses operating in the UK.
Brasserie Nationale d'Haiti (BRANA) was founded in December, 1973. This marked a continuing tradition of excellence in Haitian industry.

BRANA proudly represents over 110 years of a perpetual business presence in Haiti, and is known as one of the most steadfast and longstanding institutions in Haiti' history. History continues, as leaders of New York's Haitian community from all different fields and walks of life such as education, government, medicine, industry, NYPD, communications and the media came together to launch Haiti's Prestige Beer.
More than two hundred Haitian artists came together at "Russo's On the Bay" in Queens, New York on June 5th, 2005. They came from Haiti, Canada and throughout the USA.
