  • Twitter Usage by ESPN Fantasy Sport Columnists Brandon Doyle Ithaca College Mead Loop Associate Professor, Ithaca College
    Twitter Usage by ESPN Fantasy Sport Columnists Brandon Doyle Ithaca College Mead Loop Associate Professor, Ithaca College As a business, U.S. fantasy sports has grown into a $2 billion annual enterprise with 32 million players as of June 2011.1 Fantasy sports participants use such sources as microblogs, Internet, cell phones, television and print at much higher levels as a result of their participation. And how participants’ fantasy teams and players performed altered perceptions of their favorite teams.2 This reflects the Attitude-Behavior relation upon mere observance of fantasy sports. Fantasy sports has been defined as selecting players from sports to be on a team managed by a participant or fan in competition for points with other participants and fans.3 Fantasy sports has been identified as a top-10 area for sports-related media research.4 An executive vice president at ESPN listed fantasy players as the heaviest users of media across platforms, including the present study involving Twitter.5 User and Gratification Theory suggests that playing fantasy games reflects the diversion function of consuming media, as well as developing personal relationships with others and elevating personal identity. Three categories of participants have been identified: 1) Enthusiasts use gaming to expand their appreciation of the game; 2) socializers use gaming as a way to stay connected with friends; and 3) competitors use it for money or pride.6 Fantasy football participants, in particular, are more likely to attend at least one game per season and attend between .22 and .57 more games per season than non- players.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

Speaking to the media recently at a press briefing regarding the new traffic lights at the Westmoreland junction, Minister Hinkson also used the time to encourage Barbadians to be prepared for the hurricane season. “The reality is that we are very far from the height of the season and that Barbadians and residents must remain vigilant as to what can happen and nothing beats preparation,” stated Hinkson. The minister highlighted that for the first time, Barbados would be preparing for the season in the midst of a global pandemic. He explained that the current administration, through the National Advisory Committee, has been making preparations for the hurricane season and the committee has met five times over the last six weeks. “We would have met with social welfare, whose responsibility it is to ensure that people are protected socially, the most vulnerable. We have been involved with the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure that there will be food supplies to each area of Barbados in the event that any district in Barbados is cut off and that there would be sufficient food channelled to that area,” explained the minister. Hinkson also mentioned meetings with the Housing Ministry where stronger arrangements were made for the supply of building material, if there is a need for swift repairs for the houses of any residents impacted.
