the curator of all aspects of these individual events, and finding different ways to improve the events. 2. What two factors does Mr. Supovitz feel
are the key to success with the NFL Pro Bowl? The NFL Pro Bowl was in a bad place among the various professional All Star games, so some
changes were made to reinvent and bring the event back to the top All Star game. The first factor that is a key to success of the NFL Pro Bowl is
moving the event to the week before the Super Bowl, which decreases the likelihood of the event being an afterthought because it was held after
the NFL's biggest event. The move helped to increase ticket sales by 20,000, and the TV ratings increase 40% overall. The second that is a key to
success of the NFL Pro Bowl was having it at the site of the Super Bowl, which ties both events together and provides the Pro Bowl some of the

Theme Of Love In Empire Of The Sun
As a prisoner in a Japanese prison camp a choice is given between death and life, but very few chose life. A young boy faces this exact decision in
the Japanese prison camp called Lunghua Camp in the novel, Empire of the Sun. This boy's name is Jim and at the beginning of the novel he is
separated from his parents because of a world war. Later, he gets placed in Japanese prison camps where he becomes friends with Basie and Dr.
Ransome who provide knowledge and guidance to him throughout his imprisonment struggles. Some of Jim's difficulties in the novel include war,
internment camps, death marches and starvation. The theme, perseverance and love leads to growth in overcoming obstacles, is illustrated through
a child's love, weaknesses of prisoners, and unexpected help. Throughout Empire of the Sun, Ballard uses the topic of a child's love to show how a
child can love in the darkest of places where nobody is willing to be the light and be different. An example that supports the theme of love leads to
growth is illustrated through the symbolism of Jim helping Mr. Blackburn when they are imprisoned in the Cinema. Basie tells Jim that he should
"help with her fire" and later Ballard also wrote that "He [Jim] fanned the embers until the briquettes caught light again" (88). Jim decided to listen to
Basie's advice and do what nobody else would do "fan the embers" (88). So Jim symbolizes the fan, the other prisoners represent the embers, and the

attract a wide range of fans (Spampinato, 2004). Seats had better view angles, stands became roofed, and a higher number of toilet facilities, and
beverage outlets in the stands were provided. That was the start of the concept of fan zones (Fig.8), especially by 1970's, when the market saw the
appearance of the specialized and dedicated sports architecture practice (Santo, & Mildner, 2010), which produced new image of fans facilities with
amenities (greater revenue, more luxury suites, and higher quality finishes) (Fig.9). Moreover, there were artificial lighting installations to ensure night
broadcasting. A common element of that age, the stadia concept was an introverted element in the city, although their inner facilities were a

Baseball Autobiography
When I was a young kid, baseball was all I thought about. I started playing baseball at the age of 5 years old and instantly fell in love. From that point
on, I wanted to become a professional baseball player when I grew up. I put my mind to it and was going to find a way to get to the majors. One day
my dad took me to my first baseball game to watch. We pulled into the NBC World Series parking lot and I was in awe. I'd never seen a stadium
that big before in my life. At that moment was when I realized that I will play there at sometime in my life. When we got into the stadium I
remember getting a hotdog and a gatorade. The sound of the fans talking amongst each other as the teams warmed up was heard from the concession
stands. Once the National Anthem was sang, the announcer yelled, "PLAY BALL!" That was where my journey began. Three years ago, I joined an
academy team called 316 Elite. I was the starting catcher and batted in the five hole. The last tournament of the year was a qualifying tournament to
get into the NBC World Series. Up to this point we haven't won a tournament since I've been on the academy. The two bracket play games are on
Friday. We played the Kansas Cannons and beat them 7–5 followed by a win over our other younger 316 team 9–4. The championship game was on

Descriptive Essay About Football
While it may not be a recognizable stadium like US Bank Stadium, Clemens Stadium at Saint John's University holds a lot of meaning to me. While I
have never played a game on that turf, I have spent many Saturdays cheering on the Johnnies, playing catch with my cousins and uncles, and helping

Stadium means more than football to me. I have learned about perseverance and not giving up when things seem impossible. One game in particular

The Roman Architecture And Engineering
Imagine what the world would be like today; it would be a huge mess if we didn 't have roads or helpful structures that we take for granted every day
and barely even think about, what we don 't think about is the history behind these unique frames of stone, concrete, and wood. In 476 C.E. when Rome
fell to the barbaric tribes, the Roman Empire was done for, and had no chance of coming back to greatness; so why is it still looked upon as an
amazing feat of ruling? A legacy is a reminder of something, like an empire, that was once great and inspired many things today, the way Roman
architecture and engineering has. If we didn 't have any of these great Roman architectural feats, then many people today wouldn 't have a roof over
their heads, and it would take much longer to get from place to place. The Roman legacies were the Roman architecture and engineering that has
inspired and impacted millions of structures and helpful inventions. I think that it is safe to say that Roman architecture and engineering has had the
greatest impact on today 's society. The three most important Roman architectural feats are arches and aqueducts, the Coliseum, and Roman roads.
These three inspirational Roman structures and feats of engineering has inspired thousands of modern–day buildings that we visit and use every day.

known as Football Player, made in 1981. Hanson used oil on polyvinyl, clothed, helmet, and styrofoam cup. By painting this sculpture realistically
with oils and adding real hair and clothes, this sculpture has been mistakenly thought of as a human being. Hanson was able to create a mix media
of a football player. His sculpture, Football Player, focuses mainly on the details seen on a typical football player. For example, Hanson uses curly,
dirty blonde hair and adds hair on the player's forearms. He also creates the effect of sweat running down the sculpture's face and showing dirt on the

Hansen also shows off rough, smooth, matte, and shiny texture as well. One example of a rough texture can be the clothes. The clothes that the
sculpture is wearing are wrinkled and dirtied giving it a rough texture. An example of a smooth texture can be the helmet. The helmet is smooth when
you touch it. An example of a matte texture can be the sneakers because the sneakers looks dull and dirtied giving off a matte look. Finally, one
example of shiny texture can be be the face. Hansen was able to give off a sweaty look to the face. This gives the face a shiny texture. Hansen was
able to use these textures to create a realistic human being. The rough texture and shiny texture contrast with each other, making the details on the face
and arms pop out more. The rough texture and smooth texture help the sculpture seem more realistic while showing off the matte textures. This
artwork can be defined as a geometric because a human being is symmetrical and use shapes to create the structure. Unlike free form, human beings are

Essay: A Place To Live Out In El Paso
The question that we might be asking ourselves is that "do we need architects in our society?" The answer is yes in my opinion because architects
bring the life out of things, make people think twice of coming back to a work of art, and make things look appealing to the human eye. A very good
example of architecture coming to a city is El Paso our home town. For example, downtown El Paso was a very popular place for people to go hand
out and have a very nice night life. But, downtown El Paso took a turn for the worse and it started to become a very unpopular place to hang out in El
Paso. I will talk about how downtown El Paso has been changing since it atmosphere went downhill.
Downtown has not always been an unappealing place to hangout. It used to be a place where people would go for a cup of coffee, or to catch a very ...

Also by doing that it brought a very high demand architects to the Sun city. It was important that we had these architects in El Paso because if they want
people to feel welcome to downtown to the El Paso Chihuahuas games they need to make it a pretty atmosphere. I notice while the El Paso
Chihuahuas stadium was being built they started to re pave the sidewalks in downtown, making major renovations to the light fixtures and building
in downtown. They needed to do this because they had to make the El Paso community and visitors welcome to downtown. They did not want
downtown to have a bad atmosphere like the past because no one would go to the Chihuahuas games because they feel insecure of unpleasant views
of downtown. Behind all the scenes of the major renovations of downtown were a very big handful of architects that were helping downtown become
a better place. But also within hiring these architects we needed to hire labors to do this kind work. Which gave a lot jobs to the El Paso

The Thrill Of The Grass Analysis
In the short story "The Thrill of the Grass," I was able to visualize many parts of the story due to the author's eloquent description. The part that I
was able to visualize the best was on the third page of the story. According to the text, the author states, "I enjoy arriving an hour early, parking in a
far corner of the lot, walking slowly toward the stadium, rays of sun dropping softly over my shoulders like tangerine ropes, my shadow gliding with
me, black as an umbrella. I like to watch young families beside their campers, the mothers in shorts, grilling hamburgers, their men drinking beer. I
enjoy seeing little boys dressed in the home team uniform, barely toddling, clutching hotdogs in upraised hands." The author uses vivid adjectives,...

This quote shows that the narrator in the story is a baseball fan, and he enjoys coming to baseball games for many reasons. I was able to visualize
every detail, and I had a clear picture in my mind of what was happening in the story. Another part of theshort story that I was able to visualize well
was on the fourth page. According to the text, the author writes, "I stand, my nose so close to the door I can smell the faint odour of paint, the
golden eye of a lock inches from my own eyes. My desire to be inside the ballpark is so great that for the first time in my life I commit a criminal act. I
have been a locksmith for over forty years. I take the small tools from the pocket of my jacket, and in less time than it would take a speedy runner to
circle the bases I am inside the stadium. Though the ballpark is open–air, it smells of abandonment; the walkways and seating areas are cold as
basements. I breathe the odours of rancid popcorn and wilted cardboard." The author uses words and phrases like "faint odour, golden eye of a lock,

Descriptive Game Day
As I clutched the steaming silver foil wrapped burrito, my phone jiggled my jean pockets. I was being summoned to the sorority house in
preparation for game day. Ripping the pliable tortilla apart, I shoved the contents into my mouth as ferociously as a starved wolf. Peeling my plain
grey shirt off, I slipped into a creamy white halter top that had "For California" scrawled across it in navy blue ink. Sun–streaked hair flowed over my
back in a molten river, absorbing the golden bear on the backside of the shirt. Upon arrival to the mansion, my outfit was completed with glistening
gold and blue glitter. The sparkles were spackled on my face just as tile is glued to the floor, transforming my frame into a Berkeley disco–ball. The
essential part of game day is the parties, especially given our schools mediocre football team. Our enthusiasm isn't for the tournament. Our unification
is a disguise. It is an excuse to celebrate our lives, not our team's accomplishments. Most of the student body does not even attend the games. Our
school raises weekends, especially game days, to a sacred status, one free of classes and responsibility.
After trudging through the back alley of one of the fraternities, the overwhelming smell of sweat and rancid beer consumed me. A sea of blue and
gold appeared in front of my cobalt eyes and the life–giving timer at my center raced to the beat of the roaring music. Time seemed to slow down, but
I was unable to absorb the rush of stimuli that circulated.

Empire Of The Sun
On the eve of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the world was preparing for the inevitable, impending war to come; however, in the city of Shanghai, China,
there were those that ignored the threat. While the rest of the world tensed itself for its greatest conflict, they stayed to their routines, attending lavish
parties and viewing idolized newsreels of a fake war. This is how the novel "Empire of the Sun" opens; with a heavy pretence of ignorance. As the
world falls apart, one boy must face his environment, and battle internally against his upbringing to survive. J.G. Ballard's "Empire of the Sun" tells a
unique, coming–of–age adventure story based on the setting of WWII Shanghai, and how a spoiled, young boy must survive in a desolate environment.

Ballard uses his unique style to immerse readers into the mindset of Jim, slowly transforming the reader almost into another persona of Jim. He uses
Jim's detached observations as a catalyst to spark the reader's own feelings, allowing them to create their own "Jim". This strong characterization makes
the novel a true adventure classic, with an interesting, real–life setting. It is a different breed of coming–of–age story telling, using dark and survivalist

Theme Of Love In Empire Of The Sun
As a prisoner in a Japanese prison camp a choice will be given between death and life, but very few chose life. A young boy faces this exact
decision in the Japanese prison camp called Lunghua Camp in the novel, Empire of the Sun. This boy's name is Jim and at the beginning of the
novel he is getting separated from his parents because of a world war. Later, he gets placed in Japanese prison camps where he becomes friends
with Basie and Dr. Ransome who provide knowledge and guidance to him throughout his imprisonment struggles. Some of Jim's difficulties in the
novel include war, internment camps, death marches and starvation. The theme, perseverance and love lead to growth in overcoming obstacles, can
be seen through a child's love, weaknesses of prisoners, and unexpected help. Throughout Empire of the Sun, Ballard uses the topic of a child's love
to show how a child can love in the darkest of places where nobody is willing to be the light and be different. An example that supports the theme
that love leads to growth is being illustrated through the symbolism of Jim helping Mr. Blackburn when they are imprisoned in the Cinema. Basie
tells Jim that he should "help with her fire" and later, Ballard also wrote that "He [Jim] fanned the embers until the briquettes caught light again" (88).
Jim decided to listen to Basie's advice and do what nobody else would do "fan the embers" (88). So the fan symbolizes Jim, the embers represent the
other prisoners, and the light that is

Champions Of The World Cup
Champions of the World. My dad had grabbed us by the scruff of our necks and pulled us in close with tears in his eyes, whispering "Were going to
watch Italy win the fucking World Cup!" and amidst the 90,000 loyal german fans around us I wondered if that was the first time I ever heard him
swear. Rather then jumping around and celebrating, we embraced in a truly passionate hug and I could feel the sweat on the back of his jersey, as
if he had just fought for two hours. We watched Italy battle Germany for 118 minutes before Fabio Grosso curled a left footer home and broke the
deadlock. My father purchased tickets to two games six months in advance of the biggest soccer tournament in the world, Italy versus Czech
Republic, and the World Cup final. On July 5th, 2006 at a fan fest in Munich, my brother, father and I sported our team Italy jerseys and cheered as
our team conquered the German squad on their own soil. I remember going through the ticket gates of Olympiastadion, with a rapidly beating heart,
praying to God that our tickets were real, and that we would be allowed in the gates. The sun was fast descending as we made our way to our seats
and awaited kickoff. Seven minutes in, the french side struck first after Zenidene Zidane converted a penalty kick, which was cheaply awarded after
Florent Malouda dove in the box, appealing to the referee with his arms flailing around, despite being in the second tier, we could see there was no

Personal Narrative Essay On Baseball
I love the smell of fresh cut grass on a beautiful baseball field. The look of it is amazing, but the smell brings back so many past memories. All
through my life I've played baseball for travel teams and such. Playing on the best fields in the nation, and the fields always getting looked after. So
whenever I step on a Baseball field now, I'm taken back to my times as a kid playing baseball with my friends over the summer going to all types of
places. There's one memory in particular that I remember most. I was 11 years old living in Richmond, Virginia and my baseball travel team the
Richmond Rapids were traveling to the Outer Banks in North Carolina for a Labor Day weekend Tournament. The Outer Banks Classic was the the
biggest tournament for 12u players in the Atlantic Region. We were the first team from our region to be invited to the tournament. None of us knew
what to expect when we got there. But after an 8 hour car drive and tons of car time my expectations were exceeded when I saw where we would be

with our drinks and bread sticks which tasted like it was a day old. While he was still there, we decided to order our meals, that way it would not
take all day to get our food. Before that day, Devan had never been to an Olive Garden, so he took forever to pick out the type of tomato sauce he
would want on his gigantic amount of spaghetti. The waiter then left to take the order for the other workers to make the spaghetti. We received a
salad to eat before our actual food came out, but we had to order it with no sauce because of how picky I am when eating a salad. Waiting for our
server to bring our food seemed as long as waiting for the bell to ring at school. The waiter was unfriendly, especially when he brought our food

Descriptive Essay On Football
It was a cool, overcast October day. My Father and I left early in the morning to make the drive from Davenport, Iowa to Green Bay, Wisconsin to
watch our beloved Packers play the Minnesota Vikings. The game would mark my first Packers game ever. The year was 2010, and Brett Farve
would take the field at Lambeau for the final time in his career; but obviously not in a green and gold jersey. The Packer faithful did not view him
as a loss as we found new talent in our young quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers would lead the Packers to a Super Bowl win later that season.
It was sure to be a memorable day. The ride from Davenport to Green Bay was long, feeling more like six hours rather than four. But as we pulled
in front of Lambeau, the sea of green and gold tents filled with tailgaters made me fill with excitement. As we got out of our car, you could smell
the brats and hot dogs being cooked on grills in the parking lot of the stadium. Walking around the parking lot, the tailgating is an invent in itself,
with everyone enjoying themselves prior to the game. I remember going to the locker room entrance, where the players enter the stadium for the
game. I recall some players pulling up in luxury vehicles, while others were dropped off by their wives. Only being in sixth grade, it was cool to

He is working as a sergeant to provide safety between football matches. He seems to be exhausted from his job. It has an effect on his physique and the

batty spells and his eyesight is weak. He wont go to a doctor characterizes him as a strong and eager man. For instance, Rab has not been sick one
day through his thirty years of working as a sergeant in the football stadium. So it could be concluded that Rab loves his job, but he is starting to
realize some things about his situation. He is beginning to feel unlucky about his working. It is clearly to see in the text, when he only focuses on
how long it will be before the football game is over. ''[...]'Just let me get through another ninety minutes.' Plus half time... added time... [...] (p. 3, l. 7).

I breathe in the crisp fall air, and begin to strap on these old, beaten up white leather gloves. As I strap on those beaten up gloves, I carefully remove the strap from the velcro and tighten the strap against my wrists. While I adjust the tightness of my gloves, I soak in the football stadium lights like it's the warm rays of the sun. Adrenaline is pumping through my veins, and I finish putting on my gloves. I close my eyes breathe in, and put my hands in its beginning position to conduct. My hands are parallel to the ground, and on the same plane as my sternum. My body is cold from the chilly fall weather, but my hands are sweating from excitement, nervousness, and the heat that's trapped in these gloves.

Descriptive Essay About A Baseball Park As I am driving near the Southwest University Park in downtown El Paso I can feel the excitement through my veins, I hear the crowd cheering and screaming as the game is about to start.

  • 8. Theme Of Love In Empire Of The Sun As a prisoner in a Japanese prison camp a choice is given between death and life, but very few chose life. A young boy faces this exact decision in the Japanese prison camp called Lunghua Camp in the novel, Empire of the Sun. This boy's name is Jim and at the beginning of the novel he is separated from his parents because of a world war. Later, he gets placed in Japanese prison camps where he becomes friends with Basie and Dr. Ransome who provide knowledge and guidance to him throughout his imprisonment struggles. Some of Jim's difficulties in the novel include war, internment camps, death marches and starvation. The theme, perseverance and love leads to growth in overcoming obstacles, is illustrated through a child's love, weaknesses of prisoners, and unexpected help. Throughout Empire of the Sun, Ballard uses the topic of a child's love to show how a child can love in the darkest of places where nobody is willing to be the light and be different. An example that supports the theme of love leads to growth is illustrated through the symbolism of Jim helping Mr. Blackburn when they are imprisoned in the Cinema. Basie tells Jim that he should "help with her fire" and later Ballard also wrote that "He [Jim] fanned the embers until the briquettes caught light again" (88). Jim decided to listen to Basie's advice and do what nobody else would do "fan the embers" (88). So Jim symbolizes the fan, the other prisoners represent the embers, and the light represents the joy in the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Flags flicker, rattles sound, rockets, drums, rain snakes and paper cut; the city disappears, the routine is forgotten, there is only one existing location, the temple. In this sacred space, the only religion that does not have atheists exhibits its divinities. Although the fan can contemplate the miracle, more comfortably, on the TV screen, he prefers to undertake the pilgrimage to this place where he can see his angels in flesh and blood, fighting a duel against the demons of the day and explains, " How will you know what love is if you never became a fan of a club.

How will you know what hatred is if you never scored an own goal? How are you going to know, dear friend, how are you going to know what life is if you never played football before". Here, the fan shakes the handkerchief, swallows, "gulp", swallows poison, eats the cap, whispers prayers and curses and suddenly breaks his throat in an ovation and jumps like a flea, hugging the stranger who shouts the goal at his side. While the pagan mass lasts, the fans are many. With thousands of devotees he shares the certainty that we are the best, all the referees are sold, all the rivals are cheaters. Rarely does the fan say, "Today my club plays". Rather it says, "Today we play." Well known is this player number twelve that it is he who blows the winds of fervor that push the ball when she falls asleep, as the other eleven players know that playing without fans is like dancing without music. When the match concludes, the fan, who has not moved from the rostrum, celebrates his victory; what a contest, what a game, what a show... What a beating we gave them, or their defeat cries; We were once again swindled, The damn ref deprived us from the victory, thief. And then the sun goes away and the fan goes away.

  • 11. Baseball Autobiography When I was a young kid, baseball was all I thought about. I started playing baseball at the age of 5 years old and instantly fell in love. From that point on, I wanted to become a professional baseball player when I grew up. I put my mind to it and was going to find a way to get to the majors. One day my dad took me to my first baseball game to watch. We pulled into the NBC World Series parking lot and I was in awe. I'd never seen a stadium that big before in my life. At that moment was when I realized that I will play there at sometime in my life. When we got into the stadium I remember getting a hotdog and a gatorade. The sound of the fans talking amongst each other as the teams warmed up was heard from the concession stands. Once the National Anthem was sang, the announcer yelled, "PLAY BALL!" That was where my journey began. Three years ago, I joined an academy team called 316 Elite. I was the starting catcher and batted in the five hole. The last tournament of the year was a qualifying tournament to get into the NBC World Series. Up to this point we haven't won a tournament since I've been on the academy. The two bracket play games are on Friday. We played the Kansas Cannons and beat them 7–5 followed by a win over our other younger 316 team 9–4. The championship game was on Monday.

These long days in the sun, rain, and snow are some of the most memorable of my life. Clemens Stadium means more than football to me. I have learned about perseverance and not giving up when things seem impossible. One game in particular stands out in my mind. My cousin Eric, a senior at the time, played on the Johnnies defense. He had just come back from a year–long recovery from an injury, and we were so excited to watch him on the field. My whole family was there cheering him on. The sun was hot for a game in late fall, and the smell of delicious burgers was in the air. Clemens stadium was packed with cheering fans, and the excitement at the inter–conference matchup was contagious. Eric had not played throughout most of the season, due to his injury. With just a few minutes left to go in the fourth quarter, the Johnnies needed to get a touchdown to win the game. In this situation, it was very crucial to stop the opponent's offense from scoring so the Johnnies would have a chance to score a touchdown. All of a sudden, my aunt and I looked up and saw that Eric had been put into the game. Instantly, I got chills from the mixture of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

In 476 C.E. when Rome fell to the barbaric tribes, the Roman Empire was done for, and had no chance of coming back to greatness; so why is it still looked upon as an amazing feat of ruling? A legacy is a reminder of something, like an empire, that was once great and inspired many things today, the way Roman architecture and engineering has. If we didn 't have any of these great Roman architectural feats, then many people today wouldn 't have a roof over their heads, and it would take much longer to get from place to place.

A very good example of architecture coming to a city is El Paso our home town. For example, downtown El Paso was a very popular place for people to go hand out and have a very nice night life.

  • 28. Theme Of Love In Empire Of The Sun As a prisoner in a Japanese prison camp a choice will be given between death and life, but very few chose life. A young boy faces this exact decision in the Japanese prison camp called Lunghua Camp in the novel, Empire of the Sun. This boy's name is Jim and at the beginning of the novel he is getting separated from his parents because of a world war. Later, he gets placed in Japanese prison camps where he becomes friends with Basie and Dr. Ransome who provide knowledge and guidance to him throughout his imprisonment struggles. Some of Jim's difficulties in the novel include war, internment camps, death marches and starvation. The theme, perseverance and love lead to growth in overcoming obstacles, can be seen through a child's love, weaknesses of prisoners, and unexpected help. Throughout Empire of the Sun, Ballard uses the topic of a child's love to show how a child can love in the darkest of places where nobody is willing to be the light and be different. An example that supports the theme that love leads to growth is being illustrated through the symbolism of Jim helping Mr. Blackburn when they are imprisoned in the Cinema. Basie tells Jim that he should "help with her fire" and later, Ballard also wrote that "He [Jim] fanned the embers until the briquettes caught light again" (88). Jim decided to listen to Basie's advice and do what nobody else would do "fan the embers" (88). So the fan symbolizes Jim, the embers represent the other prisoners, and the light that is ...
