1 Amundsen, Roald. Translated from the Norwegian by A.G. Chater. THE SOUTH POLE: AN ACCOUNT OF THE NORWEGIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION IN THE "FRAM", 1910-1912. (2 VOLUMES IN 1.)
Toronto McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, 1976, facsimile reprint of John Murray, 1912 editions. 1976 0771001304 / 9780771001307 Facsimile Reprint of John Murray 1912 Ed Hard Cover Very Good Good+
393 pp + 449 pp (2 volumes in 1), 8vo (8 3/4" H). B&w photographs, maps (1 fold-out), fold-out plan of the 'Fram'. "In the southern spring of 1911 two separate expeditions left their respective winter quarters in Antarctica in a desperate bid to achieve the glory of being first at the South Pole - a British party, led by Captain R.F. Scott, and a Norwegian one under Captain Roald Amundsen. Scott reached the Pole on 18 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegains had forestalled him over a month previously. Disconsolate, Scott and his four companions retraced their footsteps across the polar plateau, a 'via dolorosa' which was to lead to the deaths of all five from hunger and exposure. Scott's edited diary of the events has been a perennial bestseller ever since. Amundsen's own account, translated into English as 'The South Pole', never achieved the same popularity. Lacking in personal charisma, Amundsen was to some extent a victim of British chauvinism, which stereotyped him as a devious foreigner not above gaining the Pole by a deceitful stratagem and, worse by far, sacrificing his dogs to do so. His complaint in later years that British schoolchildren were being taught to regard Scot t as the true discoverer of the South Pole was probably no exaggeration. Today we can look back to these distant events more dispassionately, and freely give Amundsen the credit that is his due. He was a truly professional explorer who took pains to put all his theories to the test and left nothing to chance. 'The South Pole', which so successfully exemplifies Amundsen's philosophy of exploration, is a polar masterpiece which deserves to be in print again after so many years in limbo." Previous owner's name/date on front pastedown, embossed blind stamp on free front endpaper, a few edge creases and tiny tear archivally taped on fold-out map at rear, tiny speck on top of textblock, very light soiling on bottom of textblock, very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, minor edge wear. Dust jacket has light edge wear/wrinkling, ghost sticker mark on front panel, some darkening to flap-folds and spine edges, very light rubbing/soiling, a few tiny tears at top/bottom of spine, very small scuff mark on front panel.
2 Buckler, Ernest. OX BELLS & FIREFLIES: A MEMOIR.
Toronto McClelland & Stewart 1968 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Walter Richards.
302 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H). B&w illustrations. "Oxen were still yoked to sledges and the scythe and the ax and the crosscut saw were common everyday tools when Ernest Buckler grew up on a Nova Scotia farm at the edge of the wilderness. (This book) recalls those days. With sudden stabbing immediacy it brings the reader a bird sound, an odor, acrid or delicious, a remembered vagary of wind or sun, the timbre of a voice, or the true look of the men and women who peopled the Nova Scotia of Mr. Buckler's boyhood. It brings back as well the whole texture of a life that now exists only in our memories of the snowbound world of Whittier and the farm life of our grandfathers' times - a life so deeply rooted in the eleentals of earth and rock, wind and weather, and so closely paced to the rhythm of the seasons, of birth, growth and death, that each change on the face of nature (a blood-red sunset, a frost at dawn, the first pales leaves on a silver birch) is resonant with meaning." Gift inscription and two small stamps on free front endpaper, small bump to top edge of front board, minor rubbing. Dust jacket is price clipped, has very light edge wear/wrinkling, two very small tears and one tiny chip.

4 Robinson, H.M. THE GREAT FUR LAND OR SKETCHES FROM LIFE IN THE HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY.
Toronto Coles 1975 Facsimile Edition. Hard Cover Fine Very Good- Charles Gasche.
348 pp, 8 5/8" H. Burgundy cloth with black title block, gilt lettering/banding on spine, gilt lettering/banding on front board - one of the Coles Canadian Collection. B&w illustrations. A facsimile of the edition published by G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1879. "In approximately 1870, one H.M. Robinson, writer and traveller, journeyed by dog sled to the Hudson's Bay Territory. The account of his months there is fascinating not only for its first-hand look at life in northern Canada, but also for this cultured man's view of it. The book includes excursions by dog sled and canoe, as well as hunting expeditions. It documents life in a Hudson's Bay Company fort, in a fur-hunters' camp, and in an Indian settlement. There are absorbing accounts of voyageurs, the Blackfeet Indians, 'nomadic' hunters, and medicine men, as well as breath-taking descriptions of the landscape. Since little knowledge of the North was generally available, Mr. Robinson's commentary helped to shape the attitudes of early Canadians, thus eventually influencing government policy. Through this book, modern readers can achieve a more complete idea of what it was like to be alive in the North in the 1870's. But more than that, we are able to trace the roots of the nation's successes and failures in dealing with people and the natural resources of the vast expanse once known as the Hudson's Bay Territory." Dust jacket has light wdge wear/wrinkling, two taped (inside) edge tears - one with creases, minor rubbing and soiling.

7 Whitney, Harry. Introduction by Dillon Wallace. HUNTING WITH THE ESKIMOS. THE UNIQUE RECORD OF A SPORTSMAN'S YEAR AMONG THE NORTHERNMOST TRIBE - THE BIG GAME HUNTING, THE NATIVE LIFE, AND THE BATTLE FOR EXISTENCE THROUGH THE LONG ARCTIC NIGHT.
Toronto Coles 1974 Facsimile Edition. Hard Cover Very Good+ Very Good
453 pp, 8 5/8" H. Burgundy cloth with black title block, gilt lettering/banding on spine, gilt lettering/banding on front board - one of the Coles Canadian Collection. B&w photographs. A facsimile of the edition published by The Century Company, New York, 1910. "Here is an exciting episode to stir the blood of the most jaded adventure lover - a fourteen-month hunting expedition with the Eskimos of Greenland and Ellesmere Island in 1908-09. Thrilling incidents and hair-breadth escapes were the fortune of Whitney and his Eskimo guides and companions in their quest for polar bear, wolves, musk-ox, seal, and narwhal. The fast-paced, concise style makes every page absorbing reading, as he documents a life of constant battle for survival in the Arctic territory at the turn of the century. Innumerable photographs and extensive observations of the Eskimo way of life make this book a unique contribution to the early study of Arctic regions and their peoples. Breath-taking drama unfolds from the first page, when the author departs aboard Admiral Peary's exploratory sailing ship; through the last page, when an injured sailor is lost and, finally, tragically abandoned as the party leaves for home. Through the pages of this book, we discover life as it existed in the Arctic frontier of a century ago." A few tiny soiling specks on boards. Dust jacket has very light rubbing, light wrinkling at top of rear flap, minor soiling on spine.

One night, I was sitting in my best friend's living-room laughing and losing track of time.
When I was 15, I got this composition book from the welfare office. It was in a backpack full of school supplies donated to me.
I opened it up to the first crisp page and drew out what I wanted my future album cover to be. I was a big dreamer back then, always imagining ways I could escape the life was stuck in. When I was teased for having my nose buried books, I decided it's time I find a "cooler" hobby. Mid-teen crisis, I quit dreaming that I could catch the next train to Hogwarts and asked for a guitar! Nobody makes fun of rockstars right?
The only real dream I ever had was to make my own CD. Since I was a kid, every single time I had the opportunity to wish for something, Every 11:11, every birthday, every penny tossed into a well, I wished that one day I could release my own album. And that night, I realized that my wish is finally, after 14 years, coming true.
I was poor growing up, so what? Wah wah poor me? No..... not at all my point. I've got one word for you, HOPE. When you have nothing, all you can do is hope that one day, things will change for you. Hope that the struggle will someday end. Hope that if you teach yourself ONE song, you'll make your mom proud, because you know she scraped up change to get you that guitar.
I've crawled from the depths of what I know to be hell on earth to get to where I sit today. All because of Hope.
It is an honor in light of all of the support I've had through the years, and a true tribute to every child who has a dream of a better tomorrow, to present my very first, very own Album titled Heartstrings; a representation of my experiences and how they each have tugged on my own heartstrings, forming me into who I am today, shaping my world, creating this crazy beautiful life we live. I really hope you enjoy it. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for listening.

Alzola, Briana. "Fifth-grade History Project Explores Life During Pandemic." GoAnacortes blog, 1 July 2020. "What will a fifth-grader in the year 2050 think of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world? As teacher Gabrielle Glim tried to teach her fifth-grade students about the importance of primary sources when studying the past, she noticed they seemed to have other things on their minds. They were at home due to the pandemic, trying to learn remotely about the American Revolution. … She … came across a history project that urged students to document their lives right now and become the primary sources that could be used in the future to document this time in history."

Each work will be published on our virtual exhibition to give inspiration and a sense of "togetherness" and "closeness" to other children who would like to participate, or who simply, would like to observe the work done by others.
Smith, Larry. The Pandemic in Six-Word Memoirs. NYT Opinion, 11 Sep 2020. "Since 2006, I've been challenging people to describe their lives in six words, a form I call the six-word memoir — a personal twist on the legendary six-word story attributed to Ernest Hemingway: 'For sale: baby shoes, never worn.' I've found that some of the most memorable six-word stories arise in the extremes — during our toughest and most joyous moments. So over the past several months, I've asked adults and children around the country to use the form to make sense of this moment in history: one person, one story, and six words at a time."

Is Zeppelin Psychedelic
Mercurious replied to McSeven's topic in Led Zeppelin Newbies
Led Zep I meets just about every definition of psychedelic, and let's not forget how much work Jones and Page did in the different psych genres 1966-69, from Sunshine Superman to "Glimpses" to Her Satanic Majesties Request. Of course, the Yardbirds put the rock in psychedelic rock, and half of Led Zep I is atomic Yardbirds material (Dazed, HMMT, BMS, plus You Shook Me = New York City Blues crystallized). Of the non-Yardbirds stuff, "Your Time is Gonna Come" and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" have a haunting psych vibe, and Babe had been covered by Quicksilver Messenger Service prior to Zep doing it, so that was becoming kind of a staple on the San Fran psych scene. There were psychedelic moments throughout, from "What is and What Should Never Be" to the breaks in In the Evening and Carouselambra, and then the outright masterpieces -- Dazed, Friends, Levee, No Quarter and Kashmir. Jones and Page discuss "The Pychedelic Legacy" of Led Zep in Jim Derogatis' book Turn On Your Mind: Four decades of great psychedelic rock (pp 388-390). "The goal was synaesthesia -- creating pictures with sound." -- Jimmy Page
Coverdale/Page
Mercurious replied to Cat's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
Great story!! And based on the recent comments on this thread, it appears that most of the animus on this forum about C/P back in 2008-10 is long gone. I keep going back to this record, even played it in a bar not too long ago, and the response was nothing but positive, as in "Hey, this is really good - what is it?" The go-to is "Don't Leave Me This Way", which toward the end soars with something of Kashmir or Achilles feel - classic Page, and great structural work, too. "Whisper a Prayer for the Dying" is also very strong structurally. The heavy droning dirge of "Take it Easy" typified the grunge era better than a lot of grunge did, imo. The album is a super strong, bluesy entry for the era, and has a diversity of content that most of the records of the time lacked. And yes, it was early enough to be "a grunge era" record, the beast still kicking in 1993 though not for long after. It's not perfect: there are the cringe-worthy lyrics of "Take Me" and a shameless pop offering on "Take a Look at Yourself". But what was Page to do, rewrite the lyrics when Dave wasn't looking? Dump a song his bandmates obviously wanted to sing and replace it with one of his droning slack tuning experiments? (hmm, that would have been good). This was a different, more easy-going Page than the Led Zeppelin producer. I know, he's often criticized for having been too easy-going in The Firm, but things were working quite well in C/P, obviously. I'm no Coverdale fan by any means but I like him on this record, like him a lot. He and Page brought out the best in each other in 1992-93, and the remarkable thing is that their partnership probably shouldn't have worked at all.... 25 years later and I can't be much more impressed than I'm finding myself to be about the results.
"Ooops - We can't find what you're looking for", Rolling Stone says when you click that link from the first part of the thread. "Page not Found" says my browser, pun intended, summing up my feeling on those early pages of the topic. How could anybody dislike this album? much less despise it so much as to start a troll topic on the Led Zep forum of all places? Maybe it was Robert?
Yardbirds '68 out Nov 5th
Mercurious replied to JTM's topic in News
$28.99 for the double CD. November 5, can't wait. Also finally decided to bite the bullet and get the Soundtracks set, so looking forward to that as well. I do wish they were still playing "Glimpses" on this tour, but even moreso that the official recording of the 'byrds had happened later in the tour (I guess it shows how wrongheaded Epic was about things back than, even before they added the annoyingly silly crowd noise). And "Live at Anderson Theater" was always just half a show. The Shrine Auditorium (L.A.) shows in June were stunningly good, judging by the bootleg, and by then they were doing a roaring evolved version of "Smokestack Lightening" where they lay the blueprint for "How Many More Times" before revving up into VU's "I'm Waiting for the Man" (off the Nico record) where Page rips out these great slabs of guitar noise. You really see how great the yardbirds were on the L.A. bootleg ... if only the Anderson was a magical night. Wish Grant and Epic had arranged a few "Farwell NY" sets to be replace the Anderson recording, but, again, I guess Jimmy and Chris were the only ones really up for that sort of thing in June .. All that bullshit filed, I'm ecstatic that Jimmy and Chris and Jim got this done for us!!!
Yes, I wish there was a way to move the more recent stuff, which is really good, especially the remembrances of 1993, and hearing "Pride and Joy" and "Shake my Tree" on the radio for the first time. I guess just leave it be, despite the trashing the album receives at the start of a thread, which, as unpleasantly hip and wrongheaded as the initial reviews were, they have historical value too.
Page in 2017
Mercurious replied to Boleskinner's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
He's done it!! It went on pre-sale today!! Very worthwhile indeed!!
Yardbirds '68 just went on pre-sale today!!! Thank you, Jimmy! He's got the Live at Anderson Theater tapes remastered without the fake audience sounds and also those 1968 tracks that have been scattered over Cumular Limit, Ultimate Yardbirds and other Yardbirds anthologies but never presented all in one place with Page's involvement. Needless to say, this is big, particularly the Anderson Theater material. The only thing really missing here is the VU cover "I'm Waiting for the Man", which I guess wasn't recorded in NY?? At long last, the Yardbirds album that was but would never be!! Needless to say, I placed my order!! http://shop.jimmypage.com/products/599232
Why RP frustrates me.
Mercurious replied to weapon2010's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
Wow. I can't think of the last time I ever agreed more with a comment on the internet. Realizing this thread is about Robert, I would still say to everybody wondering why Jimmy won't do more, and hasn't: I don't get the sense that a lot of people really listened much to DW II or the Soundtracks album, things he did do that were great, or the surprisingly great Coverdale-Page album for that matter -- even though, as pointed out on the Coverdale-Page man thread, C-P went platinum here in the US -- Manic Nirvana and Fate of Nations did not. I don't think a lot of people realize that, especially in the UK. I've certainly been wrong more times than I care to think about, but that's just my sense of things.
Did Led Zeppelin make the right decision to break up?
Mercurious replied to osoz's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
I remember the excitement generated by the Who farewell tour in 1982, and also how flat they sounded with Kenny Jones yet sold all these stadiums out anyway. It was proof positive that Zep had done the right thing in breaking up, I thought, and suggested to me that Townsend was a bit callous about replacing Moon. Nothing could have been further from the truth, of course, as Moonie was very dear to Pete and the Who had The Kids Are Alright and the Quadrophenia films in the works when Moon died. The show had to go on, if only to promote the art, and it was the right thing to do for Quadrophenia in particular. Through the years many of the reunion performances have happened within the context of the two rock operas, which require Townshend and Daltrey to play together, and why hire anybody else but the Ox to play bass? Moon's death did have its effects and Townshend and Daltrey spent more time on other projects. Townshend's Empty Glass (1980) was a fine album - some think it's a masterpiece. Daltrey did a film on his own. They made Face Dances and It's Hard, a couple of so-so efforts but for "Eminence Front", did the farewell tour in 1982 and then broke up. They didn't last very long without Moonie - 4 years, with much of that time spent on other projects. Zep didn't have quite the artistic obligations Townshend had with the Quadrophenia, and its all apples to oranges anyway. While the Who were doing their farewell tour, the Death Wish II soundtrack was out and I was ecstatic about it, happy to hear new stuff from Jimmy and know that he had succeeded expectations to both the film and the album. It's still a terribly underappreciated album. Pictures at Eleven came out later in the year, and, lo and behold, Robert made a fine album which received a lot of radio play and was a good listen and I played it quite a lot that summer while doing a horrible job fingering Robbie Blunt's guitar chords. (Yeah, I was all but convinced Robbie Blunt was Jimmy). Those were proud days to be a Zep head, knowing that they had done the right thing in calling it quits yet were still creating good and sometimes great music for us, though separately. But by 1990-91 the record stores have become cd stores and they're flooded with Led Zeppelin product. The people bought them, and they outsold everybody but Garth Brooks in the 1990s. How this translated into "we can't play with John Paul Jones" I will never understand, and most of what was said about now and than was and is bullshit, imo. I think from 1990 on the surviving members of the Who were more honest with themselves and their fans, let the critics howl and moan about the Tommy tour, which they did -- & who cares what the critics think anyway?
Led Zeppelin break up split
Did Presence have a bad mix?
Mercurious replied to gibsonfan159's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
Yep. My ears exactly. The LP sounds perfect - many have mentioned the lack of a bottom end, but it's there in a big way on the original album (vinyl on turntable) to the point where I thought page had perhaps mixed himself down overmuch. As I was reading the comments, kept hearing the opening jump of HOFN and the stumble down of NFBM wondering what album everybody's listening to. Of course, it's the remastered CD, which is "a bit a brittle" and the guitar is edgier. Tea for One, which has a certain warmth on the record, sounds chillingly cold on the CD. Listening to Royal Orleans on the laptop right now, and even in this less than ideal playback environment, it sounds fantastic. Page's attention to detail in arranging the guitar army is mesmerizing in either mix. Presence is not the best Zep album, but it was my favorite of the original eight studio albums for many years (I tend to lean toward Houses these days).
Mercurious replied to ledzepfvr's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
"time is the HEALER" ??? What's that supposed to mean - this band had interpersonal issues that left wounds requiring healing? What is it with these (ex) Deep Purple guys and their assorted band dysfunctions?! I didn't think BCC was together long enough to have dysfunctions. Anyway any news on new BCC?
John Paul Jones - House of Blues (2000)
Mercurious replied to MortSahlFan's topic in Pre / Post-Zeppelin Forum
Thanks Sam! Bringing back some magical electric memories, Netscape 4.0, which, if I recall, was also $7.99 (per month) and I remember the hyphen in the url! I had just seen Jimmy and the Black Crowes, too, on June 29 (first show ever at the Marcus Amphitheatre in Milwaukee), but I know I didn't even bother to try to get JPJ's show over the landline.
Was this show really webcast in year 2000? That's jumping the shark while the shark still swimming beyond the breakwater, if that's the case. Not surprised Jonesy would be the person leading the music delivery game at this point, but does anybody know more detail about this webcast?
After Elvis, of course.
You see my point, sir. Nine years ago, maybe it was different, and how Robert relates to/uses Zep was worth talking about. It's not a problem at all these days. I'm not one advocating or hoping for a reunion or any new material. I would like Jimmy to pull together the Yardbirds release that he's been talking about (simply because he was talking about it) and I wouldn't mind a second TCV effort, but they've done so much for all of us already. I'm just glad I was around during their time.


The panel was made up of Dan Crow (CTO, Songkick) Tom Riordan (CEO, Leeds City Council), Lieran Docherty (Regional Manager, Together Women Project), Jen Williams (Associate Director, TeachFirst), and Claire Adams (Relationship Manager, Association of Graduate Recruiters).
The council are really keen to encourage graduates to stay in the region after graduation and emphasised that there are loads of great graduate opportunities in the region. Check out our website for more information on staying in Leeds or talk to us for further help.
AGR members often end their recruitment season with unfilled vacancies. Last year, thousands of vacancies were not filled. If you are planning to apply to graduate schemes with these types of organisations, this post will be useful.
Many AGR members are the organisations which traditionally ask for a minimum of a 2:1 classification. Claire Adams mentioned that an increasing number of their members are removing this as a cut-off, being more interested in candidates' wider experiences.
What are the key things graduates need?
These were general things in addition to any job specific skills/ qualifications and general skills such as communication, team-working and so on.
Coping with ambiguity – Claire Adams feels that many graduates struggle making the transition from degree, where what's expected of you is very clear e.g. in terms of having clear assessment criteria etc., to the work environment where you are just expected to 'get on with it' without such specific instructions. Try to expose yourself to opportunities where you might have to be more pro-active; this could be through extra-curricular activities, volunteering, part-time work or work placements.
Resilience – Lieran Docherty feels that this is essential and it sparked a lively discussion around the importance of experiencing and coping with failure. There was general consensus that most graduates have rarely experienced 'failing' at something by the time they finish university and that this means that it is often difficult to cope when things don't go as expected. Try and push yourself outside of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. Failing is such a valuable learning experience and resilience is essential in all types of work.
Adaptability – Dan Crow stressed how quickly the world is changing and that the pace of change is accelerating. Being able to adapt to, and indeed, pre-empt, changes and trends is essential for everyone, but particularly those interested in the startup sector. Check out this post for more on adaptability and how to develop and demonstrate this to employers.
Passion – All panellists felt that passion and enthusiasm were fundamental things to be able to demonstrate. Dan Crow in particular was keen to stress that for him, this did not necessarily have to mean being passionate about something job-related, but that he always asks what people love and would be put off if there was nothing that really excited them.
LinkedIn – A question was asked about whether LinkedIn has replaced the CV. The panel was in broad agreement that it hadn't, and that the CV still was very useful. However, Dan Crow said he only uses a CV to find an applicants name and then immediately turns to Google to find out more about them as this gives him a much more holistic view of the person. TeachFirst have recently started to use LinkedIn to identify and approach suitable potential candidates. Claire Adams felt that AGR members were still very much reliant on their own application systems.
Networking – Lieran Docherty stressed that the charity and voluntary sectors rarely have the budgets to advertise widely. They tend to use existing networks to advertise roles (either other third sector organisations or individuals they know already, e.g. volunteers). She also highlighted the need to get involved in the local community if you are interested in community work and to get to know Leeds beyond the student community.
Ongoing learning and development – There was a lot of discussion around how much of the 'finished article' employers expect new graduates to be. This focused primarily on the fact that everyone should continue to learn and develop throughout their lives and embrace this. To quote one panellist "it's actually very hard to recruit people who think they are the finished article".

Written from her father's diaries, Always at Sea recounts the exploits of William Donald who went to sea as a boy in 1912 and stayed in the Merchant Navy for almost fifty years! Over the years he proved himself a very able and entirely reliable mariner - in fact he made an outstanding master. In the course of his career he dealt with most incidents with aplomb: eccentric captains and crews, a pile-up in Cardiff docks, a crazy baboon and a submarine chase and subsequent grounding. All are described with a keen sense of observation and humour.
The years between the wars were full of incidents including a cargo of bones containing human remains, a collapsing pier, a steadily expanding fireman and the sinking of a tanker, while the Second World War brought endless convoys, gun watches and sleepless nights.
It really becomes apparent that Donald, and other seamen like him, were owed much by their employers, the shipping lines, for their professionalism and dedication. There is much of interest for anyone who likes the sea or just wants an entertaining read.
'... an absorbing account apparently in his own words, which flows well and is well written. ...Insights into the master's business role are especially vivid for voyages to Soviet Black Sea ports... This is certainly one of the better autobiographies, and may be recommended for the understanding it provides of life as a merchant navy deck officer and master and for its readability'. International Journal of Maritime History
'This account of William Donald's career at sea from 1912 to 1962 is full of good things. ... an entertaining narrative of the period. It particularly should awaken memories for mariners - and in many cases intrigue them - who served in the Merchant Service... An intriguing insight into the many trials and tribulations of a tramp ship master ...'. The Nautical Magazine
'... a book which is both a valuable record of life at sea in the first half of the twentieth century and an entertaining read in itself.' Australian Sea Heritage

Tracy Walker Plans Special Ahmaud Arbery Tribute With Week 13 Cleats
Heavy on Lions
By	Max DeMara
Getty	Tracy Walker on the field in Lions training camp 2021.
Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker has been hoping for justice since his cousin Ahmaud Arbery was killed in Georgia in 2020. Last week, that justice came swiftly with the conclusion of the case.
Even though the trial is now technically over, Walker is smartly making sure that Arbery's memory does not fade. That's why the safety has chosen to wear cleats bearing his image for this season's version of My Cause, My Cleats in order to make sure that Arberry is never forgotten even after the trial has concluded.
The latest Lions news straight to your inbox! Join the Heavy on Lions newsletter here!
Join Heavy on Lions!
Walker spoke with the media in an interview posted to DetroitLions.com on Wednesday, December 1 and talked about his decision to wear cleats with Arbery's face. As he said, it's part of an ongoing tribute for his cousin, as he continues to highlight him both before and even after his murder.
"I've been kind of doing that for like the last year or so. It's just me continuing to push out his name, with the conviction, everything that's been going on with all that. I just thought it was a way to continue to push out his name, basically just represent him and everything he's done for us. That's kind of the whole why and what the whole theme of my cleats were," Walker explained. "They have Black Lives Matter. It's self-explanatory. I know everybody always says all lives matter, but in that situation, I just want to represent my cousin."
As Walker said, the design on the cleats was provided to him by someone the team suggested, and he was happy with how they turned out. In terms of the verdict itself, Walker was also pleased.
"It was a great day for me, like I said, it was a sigh of relief," Walker explained. "It was sad we had to wait this long for action to take place, but at the end of the day, we got to control what we can control and we're happy with the verdict. At the end of the day, we're going to keep moving forward and keep on going."
Arbery will certainly never be forgotten, and Walker is going to ensure that with his choice of cleat attire for this week on the field.
Other Lions Players Planning Cleat Tributes
Walker isn't the only Lions player that is planning to get involved in Week 13. Some other Lions players showcased their cleats this week, and wideout Kalif Raymond as well as safety Jalen Elliott were getting involved. Elliott's cleats are supporting the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while Raymond's will support Big Brothers Big Sisters program. Raymond got to experience the program in college where he realized he loved it, while Elliott had attended Boys and Girls Clubs when he was young.
Here's a look at both players revealing their cleats for the weekend:

The Lions do a great job year in and year out promoting the cleats and causes of their players, and 2021 is no different. It will be fun to see the snazzy cleats on the field, but also to begin to understand the stories behind what the players support.
My Cause, My Cleats Has Become an NFL Tradition
It's not just the Lions players who have a chance to show what is meaningful to them. Across the league, players take time in Week 13 to wear cleats of causes that are near and dear to their hearts. It's part of a program that the league started many years ago.
"NFL players reveal their passions beyond the game and wear their hearts on their feet through My Cause My Cleats. Players have the opportunity to pick a cause that is important to them and represent their chosen organization on custom designed cleats," it explains on the league's official site as to the program which happens for one week a season in the league.
The tradition has been a positive one for the league, as it allows heightened awareness for different causes, charities and other special things that are near and dear to the hearts of players. With this added awareness has come more chances for charities and causes to get support, both vocal and monetary.
In the case of the Lions, there is no shortage of positive causes that will be displayed. That is once again the case with Walker and Arbery as well.

Torna och Bara domsagas tingslag var mellan 1900 och 1971 ett tingslag. Tingsplatsen var till 1958 Dalby med Lund som kansliort. 1958 flyttade häradsrätten till nya lokaler i Lund. Tingslaget utgjorde  en egen domsaga, Torna och Bara häraders domsaga och omfattade de socknar som ingick i häraderna. 1971 uppgick större delen av tingslaget i Lunds domsaga och häradsrätten uppgick i Lunds tingsrätt.

Administrativ historik
Tingslaget bildades 1900 genom sammanslagning av Torna härads tingslag och Bara härads tingslag som inledningsmässigt hade som tingsplats Torna härads tingsplats i Dalby och Lund som kansliort. 1952 överfördes området för den då bildade Blentarps landskommun till Färs tingslag och Vombs socken från samma härad överfördes till detta tingslag. 1958 flyttade häradsrätten till nya lokaler i Lund. 1969 ändrades domsagan omfattning då områden som senare kom att bilda Kävlinge kommun tillfördes från Landskrona domsaga. 1971 uppgick häradsrätten i Lunds tingsrätt tingslaget i och tingslaget uppgick i Lunds domsaga med följande undantag: de områdena som kom att bilda Lomma kommun och Burlövs kommun uppgick till Malmö domsaga somt före 1977 de socknar som ingick i Bara kommun, (från 1977 i Svedala kommun och då i Trelleborgs domsaga).

The Royal Family may have millions of pounds in the bank but that doesn't stop them trying to save the pennies at Christmas.
Because it's 2018 and we live in Ireland, chances are money is a bit tight. In between paying the rent or the mortgage and all the bills, it's pretty hard to save. Christmas is one of the best times of years, designed to take place in the middle of winter so we have something to celebrate during the cold, wet, dark months. I love the hoopla, but there's an expectation of expense. Even if you don't really have the money, you're almost required to spend a fortune. There's the tree and decoration, the food and drinks, the nights out. It's all fun and games but it all adds up.
Yesterday, I came across a story about a man who had launched a Go Fund Me page to raise a £2000 Christmas fund because he wasn't earning enough money to 'spoil his kids'. It's crazy how Christmas means getting stuff to so many people, and it's sad that for so many people getting stuff is a priority. But that's the world we live in.
I'm doing Kris Kindle this year with every friend and family group I belong too. The budgets vary but they're generally fair. As I get older, though, I realise that I don't actually need presents. Not to be a Scrooge about it, but if I need something and if I want something I can get it myself. That's not to say I don't enjoy gifts - and I'm lucky enough that my husband and other family members are tremendous present givers - but I'm aware of the pressure of present shopping and, again, the expense.
I don't know if they'll agree to it because the members of my family love giving presents they know the receiver will love as well just as much as they like the tradition of present swapping, but I'm going to gently suggest that we adopt the present giving tradition the Royal Family follow.
Of course, they can gift each other with thoughtful presents and trips away and experiences whenever they want because they're the royals and they each get a bag of gold from the Queen on their birthdays (maybe...maybe not). But, still, it's a fun and interesting way to still exchange gifts if you're feeling the pinch.
Would you take up the tradition? Especially if kids weren't involved?

Technology is great until it stops working. Be prepared and solve your technology frustrations by preparing a tech essentials backup kit.
Home and technology blog Unplggd reminds us that we often run out of printer ink the night before a big project deadline and lose your cellphone charger right before leaving for vacation. They recommend getting backup printer ink, an extra cellphone charger, memory cards, and batteries to ensure you're always covered when disaster (or just the everyday problem) strikes.
Extra laptop chargers can be a little bit pricey, but having one ready for travel (or for when you get home from a vacation and find out you've forgotten to repack it) will keep you from finding yourself suddenly without power. If you're a Mac user you've really only got one route, but PC users can pick up a universal charger and keep it around through laptop upgrades and just buying new charging heads when necessary (much cheaper). Add to that a travel surge protector/USB charger with relevant cables and you've got most of your other devices covered, too.
When you need that extra disk space or need to quickly transfer a file to another machine, being able to grab some external storage can seem pretty vital.
If staying online is a necessity for your work, a 3G (or 4G, if you're lucky) will keep you connected in the event of an outage. The Mi-Fi is an obvious choice, since it's a standalone device and allows for multiple connections over Wi-Fi, but really anything will do if it keeps you working despite a dead connection. Cheaper (and possibly free) alternatives: tethering your cellphone or keeping a list of nearby free Wi-Fi hotspots you can get to quickly when necessary (think coffee shops).
Nowadays everything is wireless. Bluetooth is often great for peripherals—until it's not. If you have serious issues with your computer and want to troubleshoot, Bluetooth isn't going to cut it. You need to connect with good, old-fashioned USB. Having USB peripherals around for emergencies—or just for when you're out of batteries—is a must.
Unplggd also suggests setting up Google Alerts so you can stay on top of product deals and order your backup supplies when they're the cheapest. For consumables like AA batteries, this is exceptionally useful. If you want regular deliveries of discounted stuff (like batteries), Amazon Subscribe and Save is another option.
We've given a few examples of stuff worthy of a tech backup kit, but it's just a start. What items do you keep in your tech backup kit? Share 'em in the comments.


It was truly the end of an era when our beloved, decade-old Home Club announced its closure earlier this year – many hearts were broken and countless waxed nostalgic about the good times and great music at the iconic riverside venue. But as one door closes, another opens, with Home Club owner Roy Ng announcing its evolution into a new multi-purpose concept space: CANVAS.
Originating as a collaboration between Ng and Mahen Nathan (a partner at BED Concepts, which is launching CANVAS in Bangkok as well), the pair got to talking about a year ago when they realised they shared similar philosophies and ideals when it came to art, entertainment and nightlife – CANVAS was birthed as a result of boosting and balancing the individual strengths of Home Club and BED Concepts.
Versatile in nature, the space features conventional and unconventional artworks in various forms and media (curated by Razi Razak and his team), as well as multi- functional elements like swivelling partitions to transform it from an open and inviting café and gallery into a hip nightclub when the sun sets.
In short, he defines the essence of CANVAS as 'a creative space that is exclusively inclusive – both the warm merriment of hearing that one song you've not heard in years, and the excitement of hearing something completely new but faintly familiar.' For anyone who's grown through the years with Home Club as their second, er, home, CANVAS could very well be your next favourite haunt.

Q: How to store the entered parameters from cloudformation stack? What I want to accomplish is to store the entered parameters from a Cloudformation stack.
For example: Imagine having two parameters param1 and param2.
I want to store the entered values either in DynamoDB, RDS Db, Etc.
I though in SNS notification:

Unfortunately, the notification's payload looks as follow:
StackId='arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:accountId:stack/rfdsf/b6df0100-fd18-11e7-b3ab-500c2893c0d2'
Timestamp='2018-01-19T13:00:24.774Z'
EventId='b6df9d40-fd18-11e7-b3ab-500c2893c0d2'
LogicalResourceId='rfdsf'
Namespace='accountId'
PhysicalResourceId='arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:accountId:stack/rfdsf/b6df0100-fd18-11e7-b3ab-500c2893c0d2'
PrincipalId='accountId'
ResourceProperties='null'
ResourceStatus='CREATE_IN_PROGRESS'
ResourceStatusReason='User Initiated'
ResourceType='AWS::CloudFormation::Stack'
StackName='rfdsf'
ClientRequestToken='Console-CreateStack-774eec95-c976-434c-b43b-ad3d295a0b9b'

As you can see, there is not any entered values.
Is it possible to store the entered parameters into a DB?

A: As suggested by @Rodrigigo M, You can save the params into SSM parameters store.
Description: "Create SSM Parameter"
Resources:
  BasicParameter:
    Type: "AWS::SSM::Parameter"
    Properties:
      Name: "param1"
      Type: "String"
      Value: "ABCD"
      Description: "SSM Parameter for running date command."
      AllowedPattern: "^[a-zA-Z]{1,10}$"

Also, if you want to save these into DB, you can create a Lambda to read them and store into DynamoDb or RDS.

A: In your cloudformation there is an Outputs parameter. You can output any value that was brought into the stack, so long as you explicitly specify which parameters you want to output.
Those values will be visible in the Outputs tab of cloudformation. If you want to move them to a database, such as DynamoDB, you can use the cloudformation:describeStacks api call to get all the output values for any stack.

Isotope analysis is a significant component of environmental research and is widely used to detect and resolve problems related to global climate change, age dating of groundwater, monitoring of landfill contamination, determining source of stray gas in soils, and deciphering the origin and fate of nitrate in surface and groundwater.
A combination of isotope analyses assists in identifying landfill gases and leachate, and in determining the sources of stray methane and carbon dioxide found in soils and buildings. Nitrogen and oxygen isotopes have been used to identify the source of elevated nitrate concentration in natural water and to study the extent of denitrification. Tritium and radiocarbon analyses are used to determine the age of groundwater supplies to evaluate how well protected they are from surface contamination. Radiocarbon and stable isotopes have been used to study past environments and paleoclimates.
The applications of isotope analyses are helping scientists to better understand the environment and to find answers to problems where chemical and physical analyses alone do not yield enough information for definitive solutions.

The concept of "reliability and sincerity" is guided by China-Africa friendship – the Chinese portal in your language
On March 25, nine years ago, Xi Jinping (Xi Jinping) for the first time abroad after taking office as president first introduced the concept of "reliability and honesty" for the Africa, which has shown the direction in the development of relations between China and Africa. . Over the past nine years, Xi Jinping has planned a China-Africa development program based on the concept of "reliability and honesty" and built a community with a shared future for China and Africa in a new time.
President Xi Jinping said, "This is my first visit to Africa since taking office as Chinese President, and my sixth visit to the African continent."
President Xi Jinping visited Africa in March 2013, shortly after taking office. He gave a lecture on "A Reliable Friend and Sincere Partner" at the Nyerere International Conference Center in Tanzania, which showcased China's policies for Africa in a new era.
Xi Jinping told his African friends: "Under the new situation, the importance of China-Africa relations has not diminished but increased, the common interests of the two sides have not diminished but increased, and the efforts of the China to develop relations with Africa will not be weakened but strengthened."
Xi Jinping said China will continue to expand investment and financial cooperation with Africa, introduce appropriate credit commitments, strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in agriculture, manufacturing and other fields, to help African countries transform resource benefits into development benefits and achieve independent and sustainable development. He particularly stressed that as China's economic strength and overall national strength continue to improve, China will continue to provide appropriate assistance to Africa's development without adding political conditions.
In December 2015, China and South Africa co-hosted the Johannesburg summit under the China-Africa Cooperation Forum. Xi Jinping revisited the African continent and explained in detail to his African friends Chinese policies and concepts for the development of China-Africa relations.
Xi Jinping suggested that China adhere to the political concept of "reliability and sincerity" and the correct view of Africa's interests, and join forces with African friends to advance into a new era through mutually beneficial cooperation and to joint development. To this end, he proposed transforming a new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa into a comprehensive strategic partnership.
To support building a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Africa, Xi Jinping said he would focus on implementing "ten cooperation plans," including industrialization, agricultural modernization, building infrastructure, finance and green development, and on supporting Africa in solving problems. The three main problems are outdated infrastructure, lack of talent and lack of funds.
Xi Jinping said, "The Chinese people pay attention to the combination of justice and interests and put justice first. The greatest justice in China-Africa relations lies in using China's development to help the development of Africa and ultimately to achieve mutual benefits and common development. We must reap the full benefits of political trust and economic complementarity between China and Africa in order to achieve development cooperation and common victory. Cooperation between China and Africa in various fields should be strengthened in every way so that the Chinese and African people can share the fruits of bilateral cooperation and development."
Over the next three years, a lot of infrastructure was built or launched, such as railways, highways, airports, ports, and economic and trade cooperation zones. Cooperation between the two sides takes place in the areas of peace and security, science, education, culture, health, poverty eradication, personnel exchange and other areas. The pledged financial support of $60 billion has been achieved or arranged as planned.
In September 2018, Xi Jinping and the leaders of 53 African countries met in Beijing. At the Beijing summit under the China-Africa Cooperation Forum, they reached a strategic consensus on building a community with a shared future on "shared responsibility, cooperation and common victory, sharing happiness, cultural prosperity, common security and harmonious coexistence".
During the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, China and Africa have helped each other and overcome difficulties together. In June 2020, President Xi Jinping chaired a unification summit to fight the China-Africa epidemic and clarified policies and proposals to promote China-Africa cooperation in the epidemic situation. A number of concrete measures have been proposed, such as debt relief. Thanks to the joint efforts of China and Africa, more than 1,100 China-Africa cooperation projects continue to operate, and a number of major projects have been completed or advanced. In November 2021, the Chinese government released the first white paper, which comprehensively introduced China-Africa cooperation and detailed the living practices and fruitful results of China-Africa cooperation in the new era.
On November 29, 2021, Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the 8th Ministerial Conference of the Forum for China-Africa Cooperation via video and delivered a keynote speech. He presented a Chinese proposal to build a China-Africa community of common destiny in a new era, stressing the need for unity in fighting the epidemic and deepening pragmatic cooperation, promoting green development and upholding the fairness and justice.
Looking at the history of China-Africa exchanges, why are China-Africa relations good? Why is the friendship between China and Africa so deep? In a speech, Xi Jinping said, "The key is for China and Africa to strengthen the enduring spirit of friendship and cooperation between China and Africa, which is sincere friendship, equal treatment, mutual benefit, mutual victory, common development, justice, upholding justice, adapting to the current situation, openness and tolerance. Indeed, it expresses the solidarity and joint efforts of China and the Africa over the past decades and is a source of strength for the future development of friendly relations between China and Africa in the future."

Construction starts on YSU Veterans Resource Center
Breaking ground for the new Veterans Resource Center at YSU are, from the left, Rick Williams, coordinator of the YSU Office of Veterans Affairs; Harry Meshel, YSU trustee and a member of the VRC fund-raising campaign cabinet; Bernie Kosar Sr., cabinet co-chair; Carl Nunziato, cabinet co-chair; Sudershan Garg, chair of the YSU Board of Trustees; and YSU President Randy J. Dunn.
Youngstown State University today broke ground on a $1.25 million Veterans Resource Center that will help improve and expand services to military veterans and service members transitioning to university student life.
"This certainly is a great day for the university and the community," YSU President Randy J. Dunn said. "This center ensures that those who have served their country with honor will have the opportunities and programs needed to become successful students here at YSU."
The 6,000-square-foot, two-story center will be located between the Pollock House and Melnick Hall on Wick Avenue, a main thoroughfare through the YSU campus. The building, which should be completed by next spring, will be constructed entirely with private donations through an ongoing fund-raising campaign led by a 13-member cabinet that includes retired military personnel with close ties to YSU.
"Many of us in the veterans community and at the university have worked very hard to reach this day – breaking ground for this significant campus building," said Carl Nunziato, a 1961 graduate of Youngstown University, Army veteran of the Vietnam War and former vice president of National City Bank Trust. "We look forward to the opening of the center, to providing for the educational needs of veteran and military students and to engaging veterans from all around our community in the life of the center."
A rendering of the YSU Veterans Resource Center.
Nunziato and Bernie Kosar Sr., a 1959 graduate of the YSU Rayen School of Engineering and a veteran of 15 years in the Army reserves, are co-chairs of the fund-raising cabinet. Joining Nunziato and Kosar at the podium at today's groundbreaking was Harry Meshel, a 1949 graduate of Youngstown College, a former Ohio state senator and a current member of the YSU Board of Trustees.
"We are more than half way to our fund-raising goal of $1.25 million," said Scott Evans, vice president of University Advancement at YSU. "Our donors have responded well to private requests so far. We are hoping that this groundbreaking ceremony will inspire the community to shore up the balance."
To make a contribution, contact the YSU Office of Development at 330-941-3119.
The Veterans Resource Center will house the YSU Office of Veterans Affairs and include staff and student offices, a conference room, study lounge, computer lab, community gathering room and storage space.
The Office of Veterans Affairs, now housed in Tod Hall, is the initial entry point for currently serving and veteran students on the YSU campus, said Rick Williams, Veterans Affairs coordinator.
The office assists with student applications, financial aid and registration, acts as an advocate for veteran/military students on campus, and regularly communicates about veteran-related activities and job opportunities on or near campus. The office also conducts various programs to recognize veterans and provides special recognition for veterans at graduation.
Williams said the new facility, which will be fully handicapped accessible, will serve as a one-stop shop for all veteran/military students and will allow the expansion of services, including processing of all GI Bills, hosting social functions for veteran/military students and providing office space for county services and Veterans Administration representatives to meet with students.
"This facility will allow YSU to offer services to veteran and military students unmatched by any other university in the region," Williams said. "We are hopeful that the center and the expanded programming will make YSU an attractive option to veterans and military students looking to improve their civilian lives through higher education."

If I had to narrow it down to one characteristic of San Francisco that really distinguishes the city, I'd have to say it's all the beautiful houses that line its streets. San Francisco neighborhoods certainly don't look like the typical suburban neighborhoods where all the houses are practically identical. Many of the houses have a unique beachy, Mexican sort of feel, while other show a lot of Victorian influences. Many of them sport bright pastel-colored exteriors, almost resembling those of Carribean shacks, but in no way do the overall appearances of the houses look anything like shacks. While most pink and purple houses would seem tacky in any other place but the tropics, in combination with the style of these houses, the colors actually accentuate their appearances.
On a completely different note, I'd also have to say I'm quite impressed with the trees of San Francisco. I'm particularly in love with the palm tree-lined streets. Many of the are incredibly beautiful and in such a different way from those on the East Coast. I'm in awe of how tall a lot of them are, seeming as though their branches can literally touch the clouds…Later today I'm going on a trip to check out the well-known monumental redwoods. Talk about tall trees…that should be a sight full of trees to remember!
Napa Valley Food in San Fran.
WOW those are gorgeous pics and I wish I was there!
Great pictures. I loved the architecture there too. I am so jealous of you right now.
I have never been there, but now I want to go – you are right, the houses are really unique and lovely! Glad you got to experience this…..Fantastic pictures!
Wow, what a fantastic city. I have two friends who live there, and now I understand why they don't want to move back to Ohio!! It just looks amazing. Thanks for sharing these with us. Hope you're having a blast!
You are such a talented photographer! I love those houses.
oh my gosh.. in love with the orange house!
Love the pictures! I would love to take a road trip out there. My boyfriend and I talk about it all the time, but never actually go.
San Fran is gorgeous! Look at the colors on those houses!
I love the architecture, too! I could definitely see myself living there!
All these are wonderful photographs and specially I like those houses very much as I like its architecture.That clock is also nice.Thank you very much for showing these photographs.
scratch that. i need to go to san fran too.
