Download or read book Ultimate Glory written by David Gessner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of obsession, glory, and the wild early days of Ultimate Frisbee. David Gessner devoted his twenties to a cultish sport called Ultimate Frisbee. Like his teammates and rivals, he trained for countless hours, sacrificing his body and potential career for a chance at fleeting glory without fortune or fame. His only goal: to win Nationals and go down in Ultimate history as one of the greatest athletes no one has ever heard of. With humor and raw honesty, Gessner explores what it means to devote one’s life to something that many consider ridiculous. Today, Ultimate is played by millions, but in the 1980s, it was an obscure sport with a (mostly) undeserved stoner reputation. Its early heroes were as scrappy as the sport they loved, driven by fierce competition, intense rivalries, epic parties, and the noble ideals of the Spirit of the Game. Ultimate Glory is a portrait of the artist as a young ruffian. Gessner shares the field and his seemingly insane obsession with a cast of closely knit, larger-than-life characters. As his sport grows up, so does he, and eventually he gives up chasing flying discs to pursue a career as a writer. But he never forgets his love for this misunderstood sport and the rare sense of purpose he attained as a member of its priesthood.

Download or read book Resource Guide to Solve Urgent Global Issues written by Alekz Londos and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Alekz Londos, I was born in 1980. live near the ocean in Santa Cruz, California. I began my career working for major TV news stations before becoming an independent, freelance photojournalist. I focus on stories that will either benefit humanity or our environment by documenting historic disasters and utilizing mass media to help raise awareness and compassion towards tragic events. My images have been featured on CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC, KSBW, Associated Press (AP), World News (WN), Philippine National News and many other news outlets. I have been published in newspapers 34 times: The Huffington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, Aptos Times, Santa Cruz Sentinel, Mercury News, Reno Gazette Journal, Santa Cruz Good Times and Reno News & Review. I have been interviewed by Anonymous (the international cyber hacking group) as well as KSCO, KTOK and KRXA radio stations. I have 16-years' experience as a photojournalist and after being a witness to so much destruction, death, mass suffering and failed humanitarian responses, I was driven to make a difference so I became involved in emergency services. I began taking courses at Cabrillo College in 2008 and years later had accumulated 74 units. I mostly studied medical, first responder, environmental science, horticulture, sustainability, renewable energy and resources, a variety of courses that I could apply to my career. I completed the Red Cross course in Santa Cruz and become a disaster relief volunteer in 2009. I completed the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) course at the Felton Fire Station in 2010. I established my company "Advanced Disaster Relief," in 2013. I have (independently) provided immediate medical care and relief support to critical areas before the military and multinational organizations. I self-deployed to hazmat cleanups, lightning storms, wildfires, floods, sinkholes, landslides, snowstorms, car accidents and a commuter train crash. I was in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the Philippines during the aftermath of Super Typhoon Haiyan. I have been through three hurricanes: Gustav in 2008 as well as Isaac and Sandy in 2013. I went tornado chasing in Oklahoma also in 2013. I was in Ghana during the peak of the Ebola Outbreak in 2014. I volunteering in Nepal during the earthquake aftermath of 2015. I lived in the epicenter for a month (by myself) while treating medical patients and helping the community recover. I went to Erbil, Iraq in 2016. I brought supplies to the Peshmerga military, distribute medical aid to the clinics and volunteered in Syrian refugee camps. I now have experience doing search and rescue, body recovery, risk mitigation, debris removal, rebuilding the infrastructure, psychological debriefing, volunteering in hospitals and other crucial skill sets. I now consider myself a hybrid photojournalist, environmentalist, humanitarian and activist. In the future, I will be recruiting other volunteers who are willing to travel internationally. Throughout my missions, I have been a witness to the unimaginable widespread destruction of catastrophic man-made and natural disasters. I am extremely saddened by the egotism, greed and lack of compassion by both people and corrupt corporations that are contributing to the destructive impact of industrialized nations. I dedicated years (of my life) in constructing it as yet another desperate attempt to present everyone compelling solutions. I hope my background and experience (listed at the beginning of the document) will inspires more reader to take action. The document details a wide range of subjects that will not only benefit those working in emergency services and government appointed positions; it will also benefit the general public.

CrossFit superstar Sam Briggs, aka 'The Engine', is a true hero in the sport, with a level of endurance unparalleled in the game. This is the story of how she got to the top, and battled with everything she had to stay there. Sam's memoir takes in the whole story, from being kicked out of ballet lessons as a child but being accepted on the boys' sports teams, to working as a firefighter in West Yorkshire for ten years, tackling dangerous and adrenaline-fueled situations on a daily basis, and to taking up CrossFit at the comparatively ancient age of 27. Sam tells of what it took to become champion a mere three years later, and after a year out with a broken patella. Despite the numerous setbacks and debilitating injuries that have plagued her in the years that followed, when most other athletes would have thrown in the towel, Sam has fought, and continues to fight, to be the very best that she can be. Start Your Engines is the story of how, with a combination of grit, training and dogged motivation, it's never too late to achieve your dreams.
