Alabaman red cross

At a first glimpse it is just white base and a red diagonal cross, but it has a deeper meaning to it.

Alabama was one of the Confederate States, so the south, in the country's Civil War(1861-1865), his influenced the Alabaman flag, thus having the former Confederate battle flag as a main influence to it's appearance. The Confederate battle flag was inspired by a diagonal X-shaped cross on which a disciple of Jesus named Saint Andrew was crucified, therefore named "The Cross Of Saint Andrew".

The flag was adopted on February 16 1865,though Alabama already gained statehood on December 14 1819 as the twenty-second state of the Union.

History thrown on streets

Walking through the streets of Denver, Colorado can be a nice way to spend your afternoon. At least it was for me, when I found this nice pub, called The Bull & Bush (which reminds us of the victory of Henry VIII at "Boulogne Bouche").
Amazingly how you can find pieces of history through the streets of a 21st century big city. But this is only one of the pubs that keep a medieval atmosphere, where we can find names, clan crests and mottoes used a few centuries ago.

Meet the Mets

Baseball players like Tom Seaver (or ‚Tom Terrific’), Duke Snider or Yogi Berra have become nowadays living legends under the simbol of Mr Met.
The New York Mets is one of the most well-known professional baseball team, being an fearful opponent of the Yankees and winning many titles over the years. They were formed from Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, keeping their symbols on the team’s mascot, uniforms and logo.
So, if you are planning to go to a Mets match, make sure you are wearing blue, orange, black and white!

Hanging by a click

Having a business and selling your products isn’t something about you, it’s about your costumers. Therefore, don’t snap them with self-centered stuff about you and your products, try to see their needs, and what they need to know to find interest in your company.

You can’t get regular costumers by lying them and exaggerating your services, they might bit once, but they’ll be aware on their second time. Be realistic, because your chances to succeed are hanging by a click.

You have a lot of competitors, and you’re not the best of them, but try to show to the possible costumers that your services and products are of high quality, don’t try to create them the illusion that you are the best, because you’ll probably fail, but make them think that you are good enough for them. You’ll get to the no.1 level in time, if what you promise to you clients tuns out to be real, true.

You don’t need to be the best, ok it’s enough!
