Download or read book Open and Above Board written by Titus Dittmann and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2016 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Titus Dittmann has been a lot of things: 2CV mechanic in the Sahara desert, hang-glider and snowboard pioneer, secondary school teacher, entrepreneur of the year and racecar driver. The man with the beanie, who made skateboarding popular in Germany and who has left a mark on generations of children and teenagers with his legendary company TITUS can't be pigeonholed. Blunt, captivating and self-deprecating, he portrays his journey through life from the Westerwald mountain range to Afghanistan. He talks about self-built cars, skateboard legend Tony Hawk, and the happy feeling of having nothing left to lose. This is all true to the motto: 'Don't let others butt into your life! Do your own thing, but take responsibility if it doesn't work out!' OPEN AND ABOVE BOARD is all in one: an iconic book, an economic crime story and lively chronicle. Titus Dittmann, geboren 1948 in Kirchen an der Sieg, studierte in Münster Pädagogik, Sport und Geografie. Das Thema seiner Examensarbeit: »Skateboarding im Schulsportunterricht?« Seinen Beamtendienst als Lehrer quittierte er 1984 und begann den Aufbau seines Unternehmens TITUS, dem er einen Skatepark anschloss. Heute ist TITUS Europas größter Anbieter von Skateboards und Streetwear. Mittlerweile führt die Geschäfte Sohn Julius. Titus selbst kehrte zu seinen Wurzeln zurück: Er lehrt an der Universität Münster und nutzt die Kraft des Skateboardens, um weltweit mit »skate-aid« die Situation von Jugendlichen in Krisen-, Kriegs- und Entwicklungsgebieten zu verbessern. Titus Dittmann was born in Kirchen on the river Sieg in 1948. He studied pedagogics, physical education and geography in Münster. The topic of his thesis was »Skateboarding in Physical Education?«. In 1984, he quit civil service and began laying the groundwork for his company TITUS, including building a skate park. Today, TITUS is Europe's biggest vendor of skateboards and street wear. Titus' son Julius now manages the business. Titus himself has returned to his roots: he teaches at the University of Münster and utilizes the power of the skateboard with his skate-aid foundation to improve the situation of teenagers in crisis areas and developing countries worldwide.
Download or read book Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat written by Martin Robson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the crow flies'', ''chunder'', ''cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'', ''three sheets to the wind'' - many terms like these are used in everyday English language conversation and writing. But how many landlubbers know that they derive from naval slang or know what the phrase originally referred to? The navy has helped to shape modern society. The navy is famous for its traditions, quirks and nuances. It is disinctly different to wider society and nowhere is this more evident than in language. The naval community once had its own language, incomprehensible to anyone who was not a sailor, which described and explained his unique world. But on shore leave these men introduced their language to the populations of bustling ports and harbours and the usage slowly spread inland. Today through the mediums of film, television and music, naval slang has been brought to the wider public and has become fully integrated into the English language to point where many phrases are used by people who have no concept of their meaning. Presenting terminology thematically, this book provides a compilation of naval slang throughout the world, from terms relating to ship-handling and seamanship through to food and drink, discipline and insults. The text is further enhanced with original black line drawings that illustrate certain technical terms, such as ''splice the mainbrace''.
Download or read book Breverton s Nautical Curiosities written by Terry Breverton and published by Quercus. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breverton's Nautical Curiosities is about ships, people and the sea. However, unlike many other nautical compendiums, the focus of this book is on the unusual, the overlooked or the downright extraordinary. Thus, someone most of us do not know, Admiral William Brown, is given equal coverage to Admiral Nelson. Without Admiral Brown releasing Garibaldi, modern Italy might not exist. And without the barely known genius John Ericsson designing the Monitor, the Confederacy might have won the American Civil War. Readers will be stimulated to read more about the remarkable men--explorers, admirals and trawlermen--who have shaped our world. The sea has had a remarkable effect upon our language. We hear the terms "steer clear," "hit the deck," "don't rock the boat," "to harbor a grudge" and the like, and give little thought to them. In the pages of this book, the reader will find the origin of "bumpkin," a "brace of shakes," "born with a silver spoon," "booby prize," "to take on board," "above board," "bombed" (in the sense of being drunk), the "blues," "blind-side," "blind drunk," "the pot calling the kettle black," "reach the bitter end," "wasters," "ahoy," "all at sea," "to keep aloof," "piss-artist," "taken aback," "barbecue" and "bamboozle." Other colourful terms, which have passed out of common usage, such as "bring one's arse to anchor" (sit down), "belly timber" (food) and "bog orange" (potato) are also included, as well as important pirate haunts, technical terms, famous battles, maritime inventors and ship speed records.
