  • Rocky (1976) Movie Script by Sylvester Stallone
    Rocky (1976) movie script by Sylvester Stallone. Final draft, 1/7/76. More info about this movie on IMDb.com INT. BLUE DOOR FIGHT CLUB - NIGHT SUPERIMPOSE OVER ACTION... "NOVEMBER 12, 1975 - PHILADELPHIA" ... The club itself resembles a large unemptied trash-can. The boxing ring is extra small to insure constant battle. The lights overhead have barely enough wattage to see who is fighting. In the ring are two heavyweights, one white the other black. The white fighter is ROCKY BALBOA. He is thirty years old. His face is scarred and thick around the nose... His black hair shines and hangs in his eyes. Rocky fights in a plodding, machine-like style. The BLACK FIGHTER dances and bangs combinations into Rocky's face with great accuracy. But the punches do not even cause Rocky to blink... He grins at his opponent and keeps grinding ahead. The people at ringside sit on folding chairs and clamor for blood... They lean out of their seats and heckle the fighters. In the thick smoke they resemble spectres. Everyone is hustling bets... The action is even heavier in the balcony. A housewife yells for somebody to cover a two dollar bet. The BELL RINGS and the fighters return to their corner... Somebody heaves a beer can into the ring. The Black Fighter spits something red in a bucket and sneers across the ring at Rocky. BLACK FIGHTER (to cornerman) ... I'm gonna bust his head wide open! In Rocky's corner he is being assisted by a shriveled, balding CORNERMAN, who is an employee of the club..

  • Balletx Pop up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Iconic Rocky Steps, May 15
    For Immediate Release BalletX Pop Up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s Iconic Rocky Steps, May 15 Philadelphia—May 2019—BalletX, led by Artistic & Executive Director Christine Cox, will perform a Pop Up dance at the top of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s East Steps–also known as the Rocky steps–overlooking the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The Pop Up performance will take place Wednesday, May 15 from 5:30pm-6:30pm, and feature two works from BalletX’s repertory of over 70 world premieres, as well as a special appearance by members of the BalletX Dream Team, a group of student dancers. BalletX Pop Ups are free and open to the public, thanks to generous support from The William Penn Foundation. “As a lifelong Philadelphian, born and raised in West Philly, I am beaming with pride that BalletX will perform at such an iconic site and intersection of fine arts, pop culture, and civic pride. It truly is a dream come true, and captures the spirit of what BalletX is all about,” says Cox. For the museum Pop Up, BalletX will perform two signature works by company co- founder and choreographer Matthew Neenan, 2010’s The Last Glass and 2014’s Increasing. Neenan’s The Last Glass was commended by The New York Times for “making something both serious and passionate to the pop music of our time,” namely the indie rock band Beirut, whose music can be heard throughout the work. The latter work, Increasing, covering another end of the musical spectrum, is set to the first movement of Franz Schubert’s String Quintet in C Major, and will be performed live by a local chamber ensemble, comprising graduates of Curtis Institute of Music and Temple University’s Boyer College of Music.

Side by side with the Pride of Port Chester, the procession also included bagpipe bands, brass bands, and traditional Irish marching bands.

  • An Observational Study of the Effect of Nike Vaporfly Shoes on Marathon
    An Observational Study of the Effect of Nike Vaporfly Shoes on Marathon Performance Joseph Guinness, Debasmita Bhattacharya, Jenny Chen, Max Chen, Angela Loh Cornell University Abstract We collected marathon performance data from a systematic sample of elite and sub-elite athletes over the period 2015 to 2019, then searched the internet for publicly-available pho- tographs of these performances, identifying whether the Nike Vaporfly shoes were worn or not in each performance. Controlling for athlete ability and race difficulty, we estimated the effect on marathon times of wearing the Vaporfly shoes. Assuming that the effect of Vapor- fly shoes is additive, we estimate that the Vaporfly shoes improve men's times between 2.0 and 3.9 minutes, while they improve women's times between 0.8 and 3.5 minutes. Assum- ing that the effect of Vaporfly shoes is multiplicative, we estimate that they improve men's times between 1.4 and 2.8 percent and women's performances between 0.6 and 2.2 percent. The improvements are in comparison to the shoe the athlete was wearing before switch- ing to Vaporfly shoes, and represents an expected improvement rather than a guaranteed improvement. 1 Introduction There is a growing consensus that Nike Corporation's new line of marathon racing shoes, which are commonly referred to as Vaporflys, provide a significant performance advantage to athletes who wear them. While several different versions of the shoes have appeared in races, including the Vaporfly 4%, the Vaporfly Next%, the Alphafly, and several prototype shoes, each iteration of the shoes has in common a carbon fiber plate stacked inside of a highly responsive foam sole.
