In this game with the legend Micheal Jordan in attendance and another legend Shaq resting in the Cavs bench, D Wade shows why he should be rated up there with the best of ’em.
Btw, that was an awesome block by Jermain Oneal on none other than Lebron James.
I was trying to put less hip hop related topics on the blog for a while but I couldn’t resist this one. Dumbfoundead is my favorite battle rapper ever.
IMO, the most creative things in music are happening in the UK, Fresh Coast, and T dot music scenes.
(Just skip to 2:26, and I apologize in advance for the crowd. They react to the punchlines like this is the first battle they ever saw.)
I saw this interesting discussion on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last month about how Running Shoes are actually counterproductive because humans were really meant to run barefoot. This guy Christopher McDougal went to a remote cave in Mexico where he saw a tribe called the Tarahumara Indians who run hundreds of miles non stop- in sandals.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
This is the Vibram Five Fingers , a shoe designed to mimic running barefoot while still protecting your foot bottom.
Dan Senor, the author of Startup Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle discusses key factors on why Israel is one of the fastest growing and most innovative economies on the planet despite being in a constant state of war.
Many countries could gain alot by studying Israel’s example and utilizing some of it’s policies- especially developing countries.
I found this channel on youtube-a little too late- and it’s been the best help with Calculus that I’ve seen on the net. The speaker uses MS Paint to break down many abstract topics that many math teachers go over too quickly. Since its a video, I can pause and rewind instead of asking a question in class and feeling like a dumbass.
China is steadily and rapidly becoming a key player in the Global marketplace, especially in Africa.
Key Facts:
Africa’s combined GDP is worth approximately $1.2trn, equal to about one quarter of China’s $4.4trn economy.
Trade between China and Africa has risen by more than 33 per cent annually this decade.
Volume of two-way trade almost hit $107bn in 2008.
Africa has a market potential of 800 million people.
In the first nine months of 2009, Beijing invested more than $7.8bn in Africa.
China’s imports from Africa are dominated by oil and minerals to fuel its booming economy. Most come from Angola, Sudan, Nigeria, Zambia, the DR Congo and the Republic of the Congo.
Many western companies and organizations have been criticizing the Chinese for doing business with some African countries but as one Chinese representative put it, “Just because [US and European] companies are doing business here, does that mean they are supporting the military government?…So why, when Chinese companies do business here, is China accused of supporting the government?”. Some see the criticism as fear that the West’s strong role in Africa is steadily diminishing.
The West has had a monopoly on the buying of African resources for the past 20 years and the next decade should be interesting in how the relationships and economic strength of all three regions change with this new trade relationship. I doubt it will be bad for the Chinese or Africans.
