  • Street Soccer
    STREET SOCCER Street soccer, pick-up game, sandlot soccer or a kick-about whatever title you give to the format the idea is to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini- mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own. Street soccer is a way for soccer clubs to give the game back to the players in the community. Once a week, or whatever frequency fits the circumstances the best, a club can have organized spontaneity. The club will provide the fields and supervision. Adults will be on site for safety and general supervision, but otherwise it is all up to the players to organize the games. The adults should NOT coach, cheer, criticize, referee or in any other way involve themselves in the game. The best bet for parents is to drop off their child, go run some errands, and then come back to pick up your child an hour or two latter. The coaches are on site NOT to coach, but to supervise, be on hand for any serious injuries and any severe discipline problems. Additionally the coaches are there to provide the game equipment and to let the players know when each game segment starts and stops.

  • What Is Brand
    WHAT IS BRAND ANS. A brand is a product, service, or concept that is publicly distinguished from other products, services, or concepts so that it can be easily communicated and usually marketed. A brand name is the name of the distinctive product, service, or concept. Branding is the process of creating and disseminating the brand name. Branding can be applied to the entire corporate identity as well as to individual product and service names. Brands are usually protected from use by others by securing a trademark or service mark from an authorized agency, usually a government agency. Before applying for a trademark or service mark, you need to establish that someone else hasn't already obtained one for your name. Although you can do the searching yourself, it is common to hire a law firm that specializes in doing trademark searches and managing the application process, which, in the United States, takes about a year. Once you've learned that no one else is using it, you can begin to use your brand name as a trademark simply by stating it is a trademark (using the " TM " where it first appears in a publication or Web site). After you receive the trademark, you can use the registered (?) symbol after your trademark. Brands are often expressed in the form of logos , graphic representations of the brand. In computers, a recent example of widespread brand application was the "Intel Inside" label provided to manufacturers that use Intel's microchips. A company's brands and the public's awareness of them is often used as a factor in evaluating a company.

  • Where Next? Football's New Frontiers
    15 TOBY MILLER Where Next? Football’s New Frontiers Football is more popular than Jesus and John Lennon combined. One in every two living people, we are told, watched the 2010 men’s World Cup on television. 1 More than ever, football is a universal currency, a lingua franca – the common ground of culture. In the words of the prominent US journalist Dave Zirin, ‘Soccer is the great global game: the closest thing we have to a connective cultural tissue that binds our species across national and cultural borders’. 2 Go anywhere in the world with a ball under your arm or a rip- ping sporting yarn next to your glass and you’ll never walk, sit or stumble alone. We are accustomed to such shibboleths about the universal popularity of the game. But are they true of the three countries that account for much of the world’s population, knowledge, armaments, wealth – and sport: the United States, China and India? These are crucial sites for a sport that claims ecumenicism/hegemony. Why have they resisted football’s appealing blan- dishments and seemingly inexorable march? And what about virtual fron- tiers – the likely impact of new media technologies on the game’s future? Will football’s geography and means of reception both change markedly as gigantic countries and innovative genres enter the fi eld of play? Conversely, one might ask why the growth of football’s popularity, whether spatially or textually, is even an issue. Can’t a sport simply emerge and exist organically? The answer is sonic and onomatopoeic.
