It can be a fascinating experience to observe a giant stadium being transformed to hold any type of event. The transformation is almost magical, and perhaps the important key to the entire transformation process is retractable seating.

Retractable seating is what is makes it possible to convert some of the biggest stadiums in the world, such as the Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, that can hold over 150,000 raving soccer fans, into an equally impressive venue for holding other events such as athletics and gymnastics.

Retractable seating is also what may have the world’s largest stadium, the Great Strahov Stadium, in the Prague district of the Czech Republic, to be easily converted into a training center. Construction of the wooden stadium, was actually begun in 1926, and was completed with several upgrades in 1975. Today, it is used a training centre by AC Sparta Prague, and it contains 8 football pitches.

The amazing historical facts about this multipurpose structure, is that because of the flexibility provided by retractable seating, it has been the host of some of the biggest rock concerts, that have been staged anywhere. In August of 1995, over 127,000 fans attended a Rolling Stones concert.

Watching the transformation can be fascination experience, as it demands a bit of ingenuity. Scores of workers may be needed, and the transformation will not only require displacement of the seats, but in many cases, some parts of the playing field must also be removed.

There are several stadiums in the U.S that are the home stadium of teams that play different sports.

A classic example is Yankee stadium in New York, which is used for both American football, and baseball. Converting the venue requires some skillful coordination, and sometimes the conversion is required within 24 hrs. It is no easy task, but this trend of constructing multipurpose venues appears to be continuing, or it may even be accelerating.

There are several benefits that can be noted. Many of the stadia can be used for commercial purposes, with attendance by very large audiences. Converting a football stadium to be used as a convention center, can be a profitable revenue stream for the owners. The technology now includes mobile roofs, and playing fields that can be quickly configured and converted to host non-sport events. The seating design ensures better sight lines, as each seat can have an improved vantage point.

The easy conversion now offers more opportunities for marketing different events. Many stadia, in addition to the seating conversion, now include hospitality suites, and conference rooms, and excellent broadcast facilities. The improved flexibility means that the facility can be used to host multiple events at any time of the year, and whether the stadium is built as an outdoor or indoor venue is now largely irrelevant.

A Stadium can be an important source of revenue for the community in which they are located, and having easy access for multiple events becomes extremely important, as owners and operators would appreciate having them used for 52 weeks each year.

Riky, from Indonesia, has completed his first semester at Northern Kentucky University and looks forward to a well-deserved holiday break. Neema, from New Jersey, cheers on the «Ruts» football team in between studying for mid-term examinations at Rutgers University. Heather, from Columbus, Ohio, reflects on what Thanksgiving means to her while lamenting the cold, damp weather at Capital University.

Today`s weblog (or «blog,» as coined by Peter Merholz in 1999) has come a long way since it was first introduced in the mid-1990s as a form of an internet diary and/or opinion podium. From news media, to corporations, to political pundits, today`s blogger continues to embrace the technology he or she hopes will attract a wider, more global audience.

Colleges and universities all over the world have now begun to implement student weblogs for a myriad of reasons. Take, for instance, Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and its «Games for the Web: Ethnography of Massively Multiplayer On-line Games.» This is a «Live Journal» blog created for students of this particular class to showcase their writing and ideas generated as a result of enrolling in this course. Louisiana Technical University publishes student blogs as part of its admissions` website. These types of blogs use internet technology to recruit prospective students by peaking their curiosity enough to schedule campus visits and apply to the respective universities. Unlike other blogs and websites such as «Facebook» and «My Space,» university-student blogs are «family-friendly» internet postings where current students from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences reflect on and share their experiences as college students.

The United States is not the only country that has caught on to this relatively new trend. In the United Kingdom, the «The Attic,» which is hosted by Google`s «Blogger» website, is a virtual meeting place for doctoral (PhD) students who are pursuing their degrees at the University of Leicaster in conjunction with its Department of Museum Studies.

In addition to college and university weblogs, other student-oriented blogs have appeared on the internet. These range in topic from Jewish students` perspectives, to London students` personal musings, all of which focus on commonly-shared daily experiences of young adults pursuing post-secondary school degrees.

What with millions of weblogs hosted on the World Wide Web, it has become apparent that today`s weblogs have evolved from serving mainly as diary entries and opinion pieces. According to Olga Kharif, a writer for Business Week`s «The Tech Beat» website, the nature of blogs is changing with the help of technology known as «tagging,» technology that operates with the help of «Technorati.» Tags are used to generate search results for a particular topic. Let`s say you`re interested in studying at The Ohio State University. You perform an internet search on «Technorati,» and you will soon find news stories, photographs and blogs tagged with the words «The Ohio State University.»

Today`s weblogging capabilities will help colleges and universities attract potential students to campuses far and wide at a relatively inexpensive cost. In a competitive environment such as university recruitment, this technology will no doubt help increase future applications and enrollment in today’s competitive market.

What would you dare to dream if you knew you would not fail? Several weeks ago I was watching the NFL Draft. This is an annual event where the best College Football players in America are selected by the NFL to play professional Football at the highest level. As I watched this there was one player in particular who stood out to me. He was six feet five inches tall and weighed in at two hundred and sixty five pounds. This was a big tough guy! That’s why his response to being selected grabbed my attention. He began to cry! He was so emotional that he could not stand up when his name was called. What would make this tough guy cry? He had achieved the impossible dream.

This was a dream that he had since he was a small child. This was a dream that kept him up at night. This was a dream he thought about every day. What is your impossible dream? I have discovered that all impossible dreams have one thing in common. To achieve it you have to overcome what I call the «Staggering Statistic». The staggering statistic is in place because often on the journey to your dream you encounter a large number of people that share the same aspiration that you have. This large group becomes a staggering statistic. For example, there are 9,000 people that play College Football at its highest level. Of that 9,000 there will only be 215 that will be drafted into the NFL. That is a staggering statistic. Your dream may be to become CEO of a fortune 500 company. The average fortune 500 company has over 100,000 employees but only one CEO. That is a staggering statistic. So the question becomes how do I achieve my impossible dream and overcome the staggering statistic? I will share with you the two things you need to achieve your dream. I call these the» two rights» of dream achievement.

The first right to dream achievement is the right philosophy. The right philosophy is the belief that all things are possible. The right philosophy is needed because the staggering statistic will make your dream look impossible. The key to having the right philosophy is to know and embrace your purpose. Your purpose is what makes your dream possible. We were all born with a destiny and a purpose to accomplish. You are the only one that can achieve your specific purpose. Knowing and embracing your purpose will move you to the front of the line and allow you to overcome the staggering statistic. That reminds me of an experience that at the airport when I was attempting to make an early flight. I arrived at the terminal only to find many people in line ahead of me that were trying to do the same thing I was. I was sure that I would miss my flight! Then I saw my friend good Paul near the front of the line. He motioned for me to come forward. We embraced, he let me in front of him, and I made my flight. Our purpose is like my friend Paul. When you know it and embrace it, you will move you to the front of the line and ahead of others trying to do what you are doing. Knowing and embracing your purpose will allow you to have the right philosophy.

The second right to dream achievement is the right perspective. The right perspective will come by selecting a mentor that has done what you are attempting to do. Finding a good mentor has two advantages. First, you benefit directly from the mentor’s experience and perspective. Secondly, they will help you to change your perspective. This is important because sometimes our delayed dreams are a direct result of our failure to change. I am reminded of you-tube video I saw the other day about a blind man who was homeless and begging on the street. He had a sign in front of him that read «Help, I’m blind». People would walk past him every day without giving him any money. This became a consistent pattern. One day, a lady walks up, turns his sign around and writes something on it and walks away. All of a sudden, people would read what she wrote and donate money. His cup was now filled with money. I watched this video in amazement and I asked myself; «what is on that sign?» Suddenly, the camera panned on the sign that was changed to read «It’s a Beautiful day, and I can’t see it». The lady was an effective mentor for the blind man because she helped him to change his perspective. Once he changed is perspective he was able to change his result. When we have the right perspective, we will move closer to our dreams.

The first right to dream achievement is the right philosophy, the second right is the right perspective. As I close I am reminded of the story of a young man named Craig that brings these two points home. Craig had a difficult childhood. He spoke with a lisp and he slurred his words. He was constantly getting teased by the other kids about they way he spoke. Then things went from bad to worse for Craig. When he was ten years old, he was told by a friend of his father that when spoke, he sounded like Daffy Duck and that he should be quiet. This event had a dramatic impact on him and he made every effort to avoid speaking in public. Well, this sad story has a happy ending. In 1999 Craig went on to win the Toastmasters International World Championship of Public Speaking and today Craig Valentine is a successful motivational speaker who speaks all over the world. What was Craig’s secret to success? First, he had the right philosophy. Craig’s dream was to win the world championship and believed that it was possible even when everyone made fun of him. Secondly he had the right perspective. Craig wanted to be the world champion so he selected a mentor who was a previous world champion. The mentor helped him to change his perspective, overcome the staggering statistic, and achieve his dream. I have good news for you today. If it worked for Craig, it will work for you. If you have the right philosophy and the right perspective, you can achieve the impossible dream.
