WINGS for LIFE CHARITY AUCTION @ EBAY List of Articles WINGS FOR LIFE CHARITY AUCTION @ EBAY List of Articles Article1: A replica of David Coulthard’s Original Formula 1 Race Car from the GP of England 2007 Details: A piece of racing history created for the activity of “Faces for Charity”: A replica of David Coulthard’s Formula 1 race car from Silverstone (GP Britain 2007). Both Red Bull Racing cars (Mark Webber and David Coulthard) were involved in this initiative. The design of one car features about 21.000 small pictures that people were able to upload for £ 10. A total of one million dollars was collected through this charity activity donated to Wings for Life. The buyer can choose the design of the replica racing car – delivered without engine: Red Bull Racing or Faces for Charity About the athlete: In terms of race wins, ‘DC’ is the second most successful driver on the grid this year (2008) and the second most experienced in terms of race starts. This is David’s 15th Formula One season and it’s a sign of his worth that Red Bull Racing is only his third home in all that time. He spent his first two years with Williams, following that with a loyal nine years’ service for McLaren. In terms of points scored, he is the leading British driver in the history of the sport. The past 14 years have also produced some big numbers: 228 race starts, making him the fourth most experienced racer of all time, and 527 points scored, a total beaten only by Schumacher, Prost and Senna. His 13 wins to date put Coulthard 18th in the all-time winners list. Oh, and he has also produced one autobiography (It Is What It Is, available from all good bookshops) which shows remarkable restraint compared with other athletes who write their life story just a year or so after leaving school. The 2008 season is Coulthard’s fourth with Red Bull Racing and, having been here since Day One, David is now very much part of its fabric, with a contribution that goes beyond mere cockpit time. All Coulthard’s F1 wins have come in cars designed by Adrian Newey and getting to drive another Newey-penned car in 2007 was something David had looked forward to for some time. Towards the end of the year, there were signs that improved reliability would allow the car’s performance potential to shine through in 2008. Coulthard has won the ‘classic’ Grands Prix in Monaco, Britain, Belgium and Italy, but he singles out his French GP victory in 2000 as his most satisfying, as it was a really hard-fought win from third on the grid. Words such as ‘veteran’ and ‘elder statesman’ are the lazy shorthand used to describe David. However, listen to the air turn blue on the car-to-pit radio or watch the mechanics run for cover as he comes back to the pits when things don’t go to plan and it’s clear that the fire still burns brightly. Article 2: KTM Dakar Winner Bike 2007 & Pilot’s equipment Details: Since 2001 it has always been a KTM bike to win the world’s most notorious rally. The Austrian factory has dominated the desert race since then. If rally is the essence of adventure and endurance for both man and machine, the Dakar is the one that sorts the men from the boys. The classic event began in Lisbon, Portugal on January 6 and finished 15 days later in Dakar. It was Frenchman Cyril Despres who decided the rally in his favour, the second time after 2005 and after a hard but fair fight with colleague Marc Coma (ESP). About the athlete: Growing up in a family working in the restaurant business, it was 13 years old Cyril to catch the train to Paris and buy his first motorbike. Until the age of 22 he competed in trials, while following the Rally Dakar closely on TV. He finished his first Dakar on 16th position in 2000, won his first stage in 2001, followed by a second place and the rally world championship in 2003, and another podium (3rd) in 2004. He won the famous desert race in 2005 for the first time and after his victory in 2007 is still the current Dakar winner on a motorbike. Does Cyril Despres have any personal (friends, …) experiences with spinal cord injury? Cyril Despres: Sadly yes. Two good friends of mine, Esteve Isidre and Chris Blais suffered spinal cord injury last year. They are both fighters and have responded incredibly to their injuries and continue to lead busy and active lives. But that said I am sure they would like the chance to get out of their wheel chairs and walk again one day. KTM 690 Rally Engine: Single cylinder, 4-stroke Displacement (cc) 654 Bore x Stroke (mm) 102/80 Weight approx. 162 kg Article 3: Football Friendly Match against Football Club Red Bulls Salzburg Details: The Austrian football league Champion 2007 Red Bulls Salzburg invites a team of any lower league to play a friendly match against them in the opponents’ home stadium. What does Alex Zickler expect from the game? Alex Zickler: Good fun for the match but also a lot of money for Wings for Life! Article 4: Signed Kite & Board from US Surf Legend Robby Naish Details: Complete kite surfing equipment from Robby Naish 2008. The board has been signed by the master himself. The equipment includes: back bag, kite, bar, pump Specs: Kite: Helix 12m² Board: Sol 131 Bar/ropes: SLEControl System 2:1- 1:1 Bar: 20" Rope: 20m About the athlete: Every sport has its heroes, those who dominate a certain time period. But in some cases, there is one name that transcends every era, every discipline, every detail. In windsurfing, that name is Robby Naish. Not only is Naish the best-known name in windsurfing – he was also a pioneer of kite boarding and continues to be a leading innovator, having set a world speed record in 2003. Try a Google search on “Robby Naish,” and you’ll come up with 82,700 results, including those in French, Russian, Japanese, German, and several other languages besides his native English. The man has made friends and fans around the world, and revolutionized water sports in the process. Article 5: Red Bull Air Race Package for 2 People in the U.S. incl. Meet & Greet with World Champion 2007 Mike Mangold (USA) Details: The Red Bull Air Race World Series is one of the most exciting competitions in which the world’s most talented pilots are up against each other in a race based on speed, precision and skill. What makes the Red Bull Air Race so exciting and interesting for spectators is the proximity of the contest to the crowd. Low level flying on a relatively compact course means that people can really experience all the action close-up. In 2007 there were ten beautiful locations of the Red Bull Air Race – in 2008 it will be again ten cities and regions – some of them for the 1st time – to host this spectacular race. The Red Bull Air Race Package includes Æ a visit to either San Diego (May 03/04) or Detroit (May 31/June 01) in the US in 2008 for 2 days and 2 people (qualifying and race day) Æ Accommodation in a 4 star Hotel for two days and two people Æ Entrance to the hospitality of Red Bull Guest onsite in the “High Flyers Lounge” (both days for 2 people) o receiving the special opportunity to look behind the scenes of Red Bull Air Race o visiting the event organisation compound, including tower tour and visiting the pit lane o meeting race pilots and their teams and aircrafts - especially WFL ambassadors onsite o receiving a passenger flight with a special tandem visitors airplane for 1 person About the athlete: Mike is the 2007 Red Bull Air Race World Series champion. Authoritative, adept, reliable, fit and always in search of adventure –that’s the way to describe the former U.S. Air Force pilot with impeccable credentials. With a name that is recognised around the world since he won the Red Bull Air Race World Series championship in 2005; Mike Mangold has been chasing the same goal for the last 51 years: winning. Mike’s personal statement as Wings for Life ambassador: Chances are you know someone experiencing paralysis from a spinal cord injury. There are over 90.000 new survivors every year. Spinal cord injuries are not unique to extreme sports, it can happen to anyone. The Wings for Life Foundation is making a difference by providing a forum to share scientific knowledge and research. Initial results are promising in regards to innovative therapeutic solutions for central nervous system regeneration, but sustained funding is necessary for continued progress. The foundations dedication to achieve a cure is a vision. All successful teams start with a vision: focus, determination, and financial resources make the vision reality. Article 6: City-Roundtrip with the spectacular Douglas DC 6B for up to 32 People Details: This airplane with its terrific history, its unmistakable retro-design and luxurious interior is beyond a doubt the crown jewel of the collection in the Hangar-7 at the Salzburg Airport. Because of its history, the plane is known in aviator circles worldwide. The DC-6B was built in 1958 and belonged to the Ex-Yugoslavian head of state Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Restoration of this luxury plane of started in 2001 at a factory constructed in part for the DC-6.

R Pikes Peak → Depping is behind many successful Volkswagen race and rally cars → Romain Dumas: “Dieter was my second throttle foot” Wolfsburg (D) – He is the unsung hero and secret pacemaker behind the successful Pikes Peak project: Dieter Depping. The man from Hannover (Germany), who celebrates his 52nd birthday today on 7 August, has been a motorsport test and development driver for Volkswagen for 16 years. Without him, the twelve titles in the World Rally Championship (WRC), a further two titles in the FIA World Rallycross Championship (WRX), the three Dakar victories with the Race Touareg, and the many class wins at the Nürburgring 24 Hours would have been inconceivable. Or, as Romain Dumas puts it: “Dieter was my second throttle foot. Without him, the record on Pikes Peak would not have been possible”. The fact that this quote from Dumas came just moments after the ground-breaking Press contact 7:57.148 minutes, in which he had made motorsport and electromobility Volkswagen Motorsport GmbH history, speaks volumes of the key role that Dieter Depping has played in Andre Dietzel the Volkswagen Motorsport success story.

  • Automatic Generation of Text for Match Recaps Using Esport Caster Commentaries
    AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF TEXT FOR MATCH RECAPS USING ESPORT CASTER COMMENTARIES Oluseyi Olarewaju1, Athanasios V. Kokkinakis1, Simon Demediuk2, Justus Roberstson1, Isabelle Nölle1, Sagarika Patra1, Daniel Slawson1, Alan P. Chitayat1, Alistair Coates1, Ben Kirman2, Anders Drachen2, Marian Ursu2, Florian Block2 and Jonathan Hook2 1Weavr, Arena Research Cluster (ARC), University of York, York, UK 2DC Labs, Arena Research Cluster (ARC), University of York, York, UK ABSTRACT Unlike traditional physical sports, Esport games are played using wholly digital platforms. As a consequence, there exists rich data (in-game, audio and video) about the events that take place in matches. These data offer viable linguistic resources for generating comprehensible text descriptions of matches, which could, be used as the basis of novel text-based spectator experiences. We present a study that investigates if users perceive text generated by the NLG system as an accurate recap of highlight moments. We also explore how the text generated supported viewer understanding of highlight moments in two scenarios: i) text as an alternative way to spectate a match, instead of viewing the main broadcast; and ii) text as an additional information resource to be consumed while viewing the main broadcast. Our study provided insights on the implications of the presentation strategies for use of text in recapping highlight moments to Dota 2 spectators. KEYWORDS Esport, Data-Driven Storytelling, Dota 2, Game Analytics, Broadcasting, social viewing, Linguistic Resources, Natural Language Generation. 1. INTRODUCTION Advances in Natural language generation (NLG) and data-to-text tools have found relative success outside esport (e.g. weather forecasting, robojournalism, traditional sport summaries and fantasy football).
