A TV commercial of Visa Card for the
2008 Olympic Games in China starred Jackie Chan and the Chinese NBA
player Yao Ming. It was like inspired by my previous letter "A
View from Inside Paris" whereas I wrote about one of the photos
of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa:
"It looks like a view from a baby's eyes
from inside a few minutes before the baby is born. But then I
remembered that it could be some kind of message for me."
In the Visa Card TV commercial,
approaching the end of the advertisement, the jovial Jackie Chan
entered a stadium to watch a match. When he had taken a sit, the big
tall guy Yao Ming came in, walked to the front row of Jackie Chan,
and took a sit in front of him. On his right arm, Yao Ming clasped a
basket ball, clamped it under his right arm pit.
It caused Jackie Chan's view to the
match hampered by the big tall guy. Jackie Chan could only
rubbernecking from behind.
Inflicted by his untenable position,
Jackie Chan jostled his head to the basket ball under the right arm
pit of Yao Ming, and poked his head there.
It was then followed by the appearance
of Paris Hilton poses with Jackie Chan and Quincy Jones during
the premiere of Jackie Chan's movie "Rush Hour 3" at Mann's Chinese
Theater in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles, Monday July 30,
2007.

Rio
Tinto Takeover of Alcan Approved
Monday August 27, 2007,
6:50 am ET
Rio Tinto Gets US Antitrust
Approval for Takeover of Alcan
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Rio Tinto
Ltd., the world's third largest miner by revenues, said Monday it
has won U.S. antitrust approval for its $38.1 billion takeover of
Alcan Inc.
The global mining company said this
and other regulatory approvals are a condition of its offer for
the Canadian aluminum producer.
Analysts had not expected any serious
competition concerns with the deal.
The takeover will make Rio Tinto the
world's biggest producer of aluminum and bauxite. Its main rivals
will be the Pittsburgh's Alcoa Inc. and Russia's Rusal.
Rio Tinto's Australian shares rose 2.9
percent Monday to 91.73 Australian dollars ($75.93).
The company's shares are also listed
in London, where in early Monday trade, they were up 2.4 percent
at 3,339 pence ($67.27).

Another significant response to my previous
letter of "A
View from Inside Paris" was the announcement of Rio Tinto's
bid for Alcan. The takeover of Alcan will make Rio Tinto the
world's biggest producer of aluminum and bauxite.
In my letter of "A
View from Inside Paris" I wrote about Los Angeles Mayor
Antonio Villaraigosa's first name Antonio is like the name of my
cousin's husband who is living in Bali now. ".......So the message could
be related with my painting about Paris Hilton with Bali dancers. Maybe
some people would like me to have baby with Paris Hilton. Of course it is
only if she had no boy friend now, other wise I would be condemned......"
My cousin Ida and her husband Antonio has two
children, one of them is Rio.
