The center of Attention

Today I read a very interesting aticle about YAO MING It is called the center of attention. The author tracked the Yao Ming’s growing up in NBA and analyzed his potential economic value in international market. He noticed that Yao Ming is not only the future of Houston Rockets, NBA, but also the most important value of Yao is to open the wallets of China's 1.3 billion consumers. Yao Ming did not realize that how much money he could make before he was picked by Huston Rockets as NO.1 selection of NBA draft. He needs time to get used to NBA as a rookie, international player. Also, adjusted him as a NBA player and helped his team improving a lot; meanwhile, beside his efforts their parents were also helping him. Yao Ming not only helped Houston Rockets in achievement, but also helped them in finance. Where there is fame, charm and potential, money usually follows. The Rockets have seen single-game ticket sales rise 55% (group sales are up 100%) since Yao arrived. Establishment of team Yao indicates that it is time to discover Yao’s potential economic value. To help turn Yao into an elite pitchman, Zhang recruited John Huizinga, deputy dean of faculty at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, sports agent Bill Duffy and a marketing director, Bill Sanders. In September Team Yao, as the group is known. Yao Ming is a wide-world known NBA basketball player from China; in addition, china has the largest population the world; also it has the largest market. Apparently, there is a very essential relationship between NBA, Yao Ming, and China. Moreover, in this case author express his idea implicitly; that is Chinese market has a huge potential, it as huge as Yao Ming.

The Crusades

I played a game recenty which is called mediaeval: total war. It was really awesome!!. I will say that it is a really good combination because I am a super fan of both game and history; in addition, there is a part of mediaeval history that I have never covered before, the crusades. I was really curious about the crusade because history can reflect the polities, the religions, and even the hot world issues such as what the hell is going on out here in the middle east. All of them are very attractive to me. First off all, I was shocked becaue there were eight times crusades between 1095-1270. The purpose of eight times crusades was simple. They fought so enthusiastic for the "god" and their bishop, who did not give a damn about his people life. "Killing a heathenry is not a murder the bishop said that" We can tell that how craze those people are at that time. The Europe was truly in a chao and darkness. Second, the war between the christians, the muslims ,and the jews has begain for almost 1000 years ago. They were killing each other just becuase all of them believed in the different "god". Basing on my good understanding of world war history and research, I believe that trigger of any war which happened between the christians, the muslims ,and the jews is not faith but interests. The religions act as a propagandistic tool. It is so popular and powerful that nobody can disobey. unfortunately, people have never realized that since they were being used. LOL That is why I am a antitheist. As conclusion, I really recommend my friends to learn some history stuffs It's god damn awesome!!!!
