Tacking (sailing)
Tacking is a sailing maneuver by which a sailing vessel, whose desired course is into the wind, turns its bow toward and through the wind so that the direction from which the wind blows changes from one side of the boat to the other, allowing progress in the desired direction. The opposite maneuver to tacking is called 'jibe', or 'wearing' on square-rigged ships, that is, turning the stern through the wind. No sailing vessel can move directly upwind, though that may be the desired direction, making this an essential maneuver of a sailing ship. A series of tacking moves, in a zig-zag fashion, is called beating, and allows sailing in the desired direction. This maneuver is used for different effects in races, where one ship is not only sailing in a desired direction, but also concerned with slowing the progress of competitors. The need for tacking Sailing ships cannot proceed directly into the wind, but often need to go in that direction. Movement is achieved by tacking. If a v ...

Tacking (law)
Tacking is a legal concept arising under the common law relating to competing priorities between two or more security interests arising over the same asset. The concept is best illustrated by way of example. # Bank A lends a first advance to the borrower, which is secured by a mortgage over the borrower's property. The mortgage is expressed to secure this advance and any future advances. # Bank B subsequently lends more money to the borrower and takes a second ranking mortgage over the same property. # Bank A then subsequently lends a second advance to the borrower, relying on its original mortgage. Bank A will always have a first priority claim against the property for the full amount of its first advance. But it will be able to claim against the property in priority to Bank B with respect to its second advance only if it is permitted to ''tack'' the second advance to the mortgage that was taken at the time the first advance was made. If Bank A is not permitted to tack the second ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

I certainly appreciate how perfect this would sound as the soundtrack to a drunken barbeque or even beach party, but I'm in dreary old Sheffield and you know what? Tacking still sounds pretty great to me." :David Coleman, ''No Ripcord'' After the release of ''Tacking'', the group went silent for several years. They have later stated that this was because they lost faith in the traditional album format.

Tackin'
''Sit Down, Shut Up'' (sometimes also known as ''Sit Down, Shut Up!'' in some promos) is an American adult animated television series created by Mitchell Hurwitz for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series focuses on a group of high school teachers in a small town in Florida "who don't care about teaching". The series premiered on April 19, 2009 in the ''Animation Domination'' block on Fox, but after four episodes aired, Fox removed the show from the block due to low ratings. The remaining nine episodes aired on Saturdays at midnight from later in the year. The show was cancelled on November 21, 2009. Based on the Australian live-action sitcom of the same name, creator Mitchell Hurwitz came up with the idea for an animated version in 2000. He wrote a script for a pilot episode, but "kept it in a drawer" until he pitched the show to different networks in 2008 when he needed money. Hurwitz said that "it was just a wacky show, and nobody wanted it", but eventually Fox picked it u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
