Q: Match all characters and redirect unless the string contains I'm running several template based websites, using web.config on IIS to convert domain.com/somepage to domain.com/default.asp?page=somepage to include the correct files from a higher level directory. The rule I'm using looks like:
<rule name="friendly-urls">
    <match url="^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" />
    <action type="Rewrite" url="default.asp?page={R:0}" />
</rule>

The problem is that each website also has a mobile version, available at domain.com/m/, and the way the redirection is set up right now, that address would redirect to domain.com/default.asp?page=m Somehow I need to make an exception for anything in the m/ directory, but I don't understand regular expressions or web.config well enough to accomplish this. I would be very appreciative if anyone could help.

A: I'm not familiar with web.config rules, but maybe this will work, or at least get you started:
<rule name="friendly-urls">
    <match url="^([a-zA-Z0-9_]+/)?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)$" />
    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" />
    <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}default.asp?page={R:2}" />
</rule>

The new Regex divides the input URL into an optional first match (which includes the forward slash) and a required second match. We want to prepend the first match to the output URL. If there is no first match (for non-mobile URLs), it should prepend an empty string. The second match is then appended to the output URL as usual.
Given "somepage", it should produce "default.asp?page=somepage"
Given "m/somepage", it should produce "m/default.asp?page=somepage"
I am unable to test anything but the Regex, but I hope this helps!

So many parents stress over their child's diet. I get it, I'm a mom, too.
"He only eats chicken nuggets and bread."
Usually when someone says, "they only eat...." that list becomes not just two things, but slowly expands to five, even 10 things. Yet they still complain, "but no veggies" or "they don't eat meat."
What I'm about to say isn't going to make me popular, but here goes: WHO CARES?
Plenty of people in the world don't eat meat. There are tons of adults who eat little to no veggies or fruit. Is it totally optimal? No, maybe not, but is your diet optimal? I'm going to bet you don't get the 7-10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables Canada's Food Guide recommends. So are you holding your children to a different standard than you hold yourself?
Are you able to fill in some gaps with fruit/veggie smoothies, vitamins or supplements? My son will drink Pediasure and take his essential fatty acids in liquid form. I don't sweat the rest.
1) Eating can be part of routine or rituals, so the whole routine is needed in order to keep anxiety down. The food itself may or may not bring as much comfort as the rituals around it do.
2) For some eating is comforting and the taste/texture is satisfying a sensory need. For others, eating is simply a means to an end. Depending on how my sensory system is working one day, I can truly enjoy food, and another I'm eating only because I know I want to stay alive, but everything tastes like cardboard.
3) We might need to eat alone to feel comfortable.
4) We might not tolerate a whole sandwich, but would be fine to take it apart and eat it. Allowing us to "pick at food" might be worth it if you want us to eat.
5) Many of us eat with our hands. Yes, even us adults.
6) We know how we feel after eating certain foods. We know what we can digest and what brings us discomfort. We avoid things that bring us discomfort. We don't have to have an intolerance or allergy in order to suffer from discomfort. If you know corn makes you bloat and gives you gas, you probably avoid it or eat less of it. We do the same! Fancy that!
It's especially because of #6 that I don't believe in "hiding" foods in other foods because you want your child to injest something. Don't sneak broccoli into chocolate muffins. Don't put ground up meat in pasta sauce. That's a really good way to get your child to stop eating their preferred foods and make them feel sick.
Trust we know our bodies and what makes us feel well and comfortable in our own skin.
There's no "one bite" rule in my house. Looking at a new food, touching it, smelling it, licking it and biting it and then spitting it out are all valid explorations of food. My son is always offered different foods and he's certainly welcome to try, but never forced. Put a new food on a plate in front of your child and leave the room if it disturbs you too much to watch them not eat it. Eating should not be a pressured, coerced or stressful situation.
Let them explore it (or not!) as they wish. Then let them eat what they want to eat. My son eats nut butter sandwiches every day. Lunch and dinner. That's what he likes. So be it. Eventually he will branch out to something else. Peanut butter comes in 1kg tubs and is quite affordable. Why should I stress?
I know that just like I did, he'll eventually eat a greater variety of foods as he matures. Or maybe not. But we're not there yet.
So my advice is really to not make stress for yourself where none needs to be and respect the fact we eat what works for us, in ways that work for us and are comforting.


When Portland landscaping with stone, you have a wide range of options you can integrate. Pavers, huge stones, stones, and river stones are just a few of the options. You can get them to the central focus of your lawn or just use them for function. One of the nice things about using this material is that it is almost maintenance-free. Instead of having to cut and cut on a consistent basis, you can usually just brush or use a lawn-motorized inflator to get rid of dirt and waste. Here are a few ideas that you may decide to include in your garden.
Large stone pavers are an outstanding option for covering a huge place of your Portland Oregon landscapes, even using them as your main terrace support. You can buy natural flagstone, marble, sandstone, stone, tangible, limestone, standing, and more. Stone has a traditional look that enhances a yard's organic charm more than stone or tangible. Sandstone, standing, and limestone are extremely durable, making them the best selections for a terrace surface. Most pavers offer mixes that allow you to develop different shades and forms for a pathway or separate different sections of your style. When making a pathway, you may consider allowing lawn, moss, or another ground cover to grow between the stones for an all-organic look. You may also use stones or stone to function a pathway or terrace, but those components are quickly spread and are caught up when capturing and blowing.
Use huge stones and stones, along with a combination of vegetation, to build a beautiful stone lawn in a place of your lawn. You will initially have to control the fresh mushrooms as the vegetation becomes established and the stones start to do their job of eliminating the growth beneath. Consider placing Portland landscaping fabric beneath a dense layer of stones to reduce servicing. You may also mix in stones, sand, or other more compact components to fill in holes as well as add to the overall style. Pebbles allow your lawn to strain well so that standard water can more quickly get to the vegetation. Ensure that your vegetation cover all sections of exposed ground. Stones come in a wide range of forms, sizes, designs, and colours, which allow you to function different parts of your lawn. You can consult with Portland landscaper for this.
You can hire landscaper Portland plan help you with an element on your lawn. Consider adding a small lake or flow if it can be combined in with the rest of your landscape and basic Landscape Portland Oregon allows it. You can use stones in different forms and colours to boundary the plastic coating of the lake, flow, or fountain. If a compact sized option is better for your style, consider a lawn standard waterfall. Several choices available at most home improvement and lawn supply stores. You can quickly integrate a standard waterfall into an existing stone lawn or plant bed.
If you prefer an all-organic gardening, then stone is the perfect option to integrate. Talk with your lawn style or home improvement professional, about the details of your current landscape, your budget, and your goals for how you want to enjoy your garden.
You can also ask for sources from your friends and family who have done gardening of their residence. This can help you get a firsthand view of the assistance offered. Although you may be influenced to do the gardening and walls on your own, it is best to opt for professional service, as it can be a moment intensive procedure. Experienced professionals may be able to add a completely new look to your fence and residence ensure it is look eye-catching. We hope these three concepts help create a big effect in your little entry position. Build a wonderful entry with these three concepts and you'll soon have the top façade of your dreams- even if it is tiny!

Q: colsplit gives NAs instead of valid valies I am using colsplit to split a character column, which has phrases, into its constituent words, with a column for each word. However, it gives NAs instead of valid words for the following example.

> p
                 Phrase
1       the last time i
2 given the situation i

     w1   w2        w3 w4
1   the last      time NA
2 given  the situation NA

I don't understand why "w4" column doesn't have "i"s from the phrases in the original data frame. Do I need to split the string using something else other than " "? Or, are there any options in colsplit that I need to use for it to work correctly? Thanks.

Sometimes he is singing and dancing and even attempting to tell people about Lilly pad Lou. The reason he continues to ask for you is because his love is so deep for you. That part has never gone away.
It is so hard. I know just what you mean, last week in Maui I was invited to a party where a band had a jam session.
They had invited me to join them in their home. We sang around a grand piano all the old and new songs, it was wonderful. But I could not help thinking, wouldn't Ken have loved this, how I miss him. It seems we are always happy/sad with our partners in care, they have not died, and are being held tightly in our hearts.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. For utting into words what so many are going through. It never ends, this sense of loss before an actual end.
I'm not at all sure this is an appropriate response or not but here it goes… I have been single for most of my life but I have had many romances and 3 live-in relationships. Now, whenever I experience joy of any kind, I realize that it is only 1/2 of the joy because joy is meant to be shared. I find beauty in a sunset but it's only 1/2 as beautiful if I am alone in that moment. It's not a forever lonely feeling, it's an acceptance of the way it is. There is nothing sweeter to me than to share laughter with a friend. It makes me feel complete. I seem to fluctuate between feeling whole and feeling that there is something missing. Your situation is new to you and deeply rooted in love. It's also complicated by the fact that he is with you but not with you. Try to remember that all happiness is fleeting. Surround yourself with friends and as much laughter as you can find. Find peace when you are alone with yourself and find satisfaction in doing one small thing for yourself everyday. Your heart will always be with him and his heart is with you. You are very lucky to have found this in your life. Love him as I know you do.

Title Description Presenter(s)
Iowa's Militant Suffragist—Eleanor Gordon and the Clergy's Fight For Women's Suffrage Eleanor Gordon was one of Iowa's staunchest and most militant suffragists. She used her faith as a justification for suffrage, just as many women in the clergy did, but as she grew older she became more militant in her actions. She assembled a group of women who worked to remove barriers to voting; in one case, shoveling the ballot box out of a coal shed to find an empty whiskey bottle next to it. This presentation will examine her life and it's impact on women's suffrage, her role as a clergy member and how she used her pulpit for change. Hayley Ellis
Lost Flyboys: Marvin Dille and William Meehan in WWII During WWII, Marvin Dille, a bombardier from Belle Plaine, and William Meehan, a navigator from Des Moines, both flew in B-17s and earned the Purple Heart. Through their wartime experiences, attendees will learn about US Army Air Corps strategy, the brave men who flew in B-17s over Nazi-controlled Europe, and conditions in a German POW camp. Walsh recreates Dille and Meehan's powerful stories using their diaries, letters, artwork, and loved ones' recollections. Prof. Matthew Walsh
Activist Agriculture: Farm Protest in Iowa, 1929-1969 In this presentation, we take a closer look at the mobilization of farmers to confront and obstruct tuberculosis testing of cattle during the Iowa Cow Wars of the early 1930s and the commodity holding actions of the National Farmers Organization (NFO) in the 1960s. We will cover the actions and methods used by the farmers as well as how they leveraged the media to affect change. Olivia Garrison & Amy Bishop, both with Iowa State University Special Collections and University Archives
Dear Governor Branstad: Iowans respond to the Farm Crisis of the 1980s It's the last day before the bank takes your farm. What do you do? You write your governor. This presentation will highlight some of the thousands of letters Iowans wrote to their governor during the hard times of the 1980s, and will discuss how Iowans met the challenge of agricultural disaster. Professor Pamela Riney-Kehrberg
Iowa's Townships: Why Do We Have Them? Before Euro-Americans settled Iowa, the US General Land Office (GLO) surveyed township lines and section lines as a framework for land subdivision and sales. After settlers purchased land and established farms and towns, they saw a need for local governments to provide services, such as voting precincts, cemeteries, road maintenance, and fire protection. The Iowa Legislature passed laws that provided representation, consistency, and funding mechanisms for grass roots governance. Some township names and boundaries changed over time as more farms were established and towns grew in population, resulting in confusion. More confusion resulted from multiple meanings of the word township: civil, political, Congressional, survey, and row of townships. In this presentation, we'll help untangle the confusion. You'll learn these and other uses of "township" and how each affected the lives of Iowa's settlers. Paul F. Anderson, Emeritus Professor, Iowa State University
Kenny and Helen Uncle Kenny and Aunt Helen contains experiences to touch your heart and your funny bone and leads to more love and laughter in He Has a Boat… experiences with my three brothers. All are lifelong Iowans whose adventures make Iowa history come to life in people we can recognize and enjoy. If you have needed a wrecker, wanted some advice, or loved the people of Iowa; this is the place for you to have some fun, learn some history, and leave with three magic wishes. Patricia Coffie
Iowa's Own Al Swearingen This presentation will cover the life and times of Al Swearingen, featured in HBO's Deadwood series and recent (2019) movie. Al was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa and travelled throughout the West from 1860 through 1904. He died in Denver under mysterious circumstances and is buried in Oskaloosa, a few miles from the family farm. Robert L. Harrison
Two stories from Iowa Confederates in the Civil War David Connon has documented 76 Iowa residents who left our state and served the Confederacy. He will tell two stories, shedding light on their motives — and on the emotional and political pressures in wartime Iowa. David Connon
Strangers in the Dark: A reflection on the Strangers seen in Villisca on the Weekend of the 1912 Ax Murders The 1912 ax murder in Villisca Iowa was never solved, but has remained a viable subject for historical analysis. During the weekend of the murder several strangers were seen in and about town. A close look at these individuals, who choose a bad time to be wandering around Villisca, should stimulate interest in a fascinating byway of Iowa history. Edgar Epperly
How and Why Newton Became the Industrial Center of the Mid-West Newton is well known for her washing machine history, but the fact is Newton was much more diverse and her impact on Iowa Industry started before Maytag and continues to this day. It is in the very bloodlines of her residents Kenneth Barthelman
The Power of One: Lost Stories of the Granger Homesteads How can you help people who are down on their luck? Sometimes it just takes one person who cares, along with a public-private partnership that's more of a hand-up than a hand-out. That's the lesson of the Depression-era Granger Homesteads housing and farming project in central Iowa, which was promoted tirelessly by Monsignor Luigi Ligutti in the early 1930s. The homestead project was designed to provide 50 modern homes and small acreages on 225 acres in Dallas County to help coal mining families better their lives. Learn how it became one of the most successful New Deal projects in the nation. Darcy Dougherty Maulsby, author
Connecting America! The Golden Spike was driven home 150 years at Promontory Summit, Utah, making completion of the Transcontinental Railroad between Council Bluffs/Omaha and Sacramento. Learn about it and President Abraham Lincolns pivotal role in building this landmark railroad. Phil Borleske

This presentation tells the story of her quest to uncover the life of Captain John Christie Barr and the friendship she formed along the way with his niece, Grace. Kassie L Nelson
"I had a great time. It was a wonderful day and I had no idea I'd have that much energy left after a marathon 9 hours of talks and talking. The whole day was invigorating, full of ideas to use as well as new information. I had a ball."

Netease DataBlog
Country/area: China
Organisation: Netease DataBlog
As one of the pioneer columns in data journalism, Netease DataBlog has constantly provided data-driven stories for China's readers in the past 10 years, committed to conveying multi-dimensional, comprehensive, and useful information.
We cover stories in variable aspects, including society, education, health, economy, culture and so on. Stories closely related to the lives of Chinese people will especially be our consideration. COVID-19, carbon emissions, rainstroms, shortage of medical resources, as well as education equality are the main concerns to most ordinary people and so to us.
In the past 2021, NetEase DataBlog had published more than 100 data-driven stories in articles, videos, reports, illustration and interactive diagrams. Not merely in amounts, we also achieved brilliant communication effects, receiving dozens of positive feedback. And We are the one with the most subscribers(17 million) among China's data journalism columns.
With engrossing and informative content, impressive design style, and flexible use of SNS data mining, questionnaire survey on large scale, and other technique, NetEase DataBlog has gained a high reputation in the field of data journalism in China. And we have become a regular object in academic case studies.
As a small data journalism team, we hope to learn from the best data journalism projects globally by entering the Sigma Awards 2022 competition.
Over the past few decades, China has achieved great economic success. The living conditions of most Chinese people have improved. However, success and improvement in the economy have not alleviated people's anxiety. On the contrary, many people are under great pressure in life and work.
DataBlog aims to tell stories of the daily issues encountered by ordinary Chinese people on all aspects, with an approch of data.
Education is the most essential issue for every Chinese family. In "The New Anxiety of Chinese parents," we discussed why Chinese parents are reluctant to send their children to vocational schools. Although more than 6 million junior high school graduates enroll in vocational schools each year, many parents feel that vocational schools have no promising future because of uncertainty in job prospects and unnecessary discrimination as well as neglect.
In the article "Divorce is surging among China's rural young people", we noted that China's rural young people are experiencing a divorce tendency, which is led by women who have traditionally been weaker in their marriage relationships. We also found that the younger generation of Chinese women, who no longer regard forbearance as a virtue, are becoming less and less tolerant of disharmonious marriages.
In 2021, the haze caused by COVID-19 was yet looming globally. Although China had adopted a dynamic zero-out prevention and control strategy, there were still some local epidemic cases this year. For instance, the outbreak in Nanjing, which is an eastern city in China, spread to many cities nationwide in a short period through airports. NetEase DataBlog retraced the spread of the virus by rearranging the patient's epidemiological investigation.
In addition to COVID-19, China's Henan province also experienced an unusually extreme rainstorm during the same period. We lost at least 302 lives without appropriate disaster prevention. Less than a day after the rainstorm, Netease DataBlog arranged the detail of this disaster based on precipitation and other data.
In 2021, we also produced a lot of popular science stories in health, especially focusing on women's perspectives. For example, in the article "Why is it so hard to get a lifesaving vaccine for Chinese women?" we found that the 9-valent HPV vaccine, which has been available for seven years, is still hard to access in China. In many areas, less than 5 percent of applicants received the lifeguarding vaccine. And it is the vaccine that can protect women from cervical cancer. At the same time, we also hope that Chinese women can get rid of the shame in menstrual period, using menstrual pad without any concerns.
In 2021, NetEase DataBlog also paid attention to many topics closely related to people's livelihood in the society. Considering the amount limit, we can only share part of them selected below.
This is the introduction to the serises stories covered by DataBlog. We hope it will be of help for you to understand our work.

Visual Boy Advance (VBA) is the best free GBA Emulator for PC`s and this is available for many Operating Systems, such as Windows, including Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and BeOS.
Gameboy Color A. D. is only compatible with Gameboy Color games, which won't help you with GBA titles, but I figured I'd mention it if anyone is interested. We just have to download a GameBoy Enhance emulator and start reliving our childhood. But if you have the rom but don't have the game, then yes, it's illegal. Also, you can find the older ROMs such as the classic GameBoy (GB) and GameBoyColor (GBC) ones. An emulator hasn't faced a court case that dives this deep into the "original expression" analysis of a game console's code, but the protection of fair use was applied in Sony v. Connectix.
One of the most impressive rom hacks I've ever seen is the Atari Super Mario Bros which somehow turned SMB into an Atari game. It also supports advanced customizations which allow for you to adjust the game precisely as you want. Some levels feature unique mechanics such as riding in mine carts, launching out of barrel cannons, or swinging from vine to vine. Visual Boy Advance-M can be obtained at No Cost, and there are no additional features that You Need to download to conduct it. To launch a GBA game, click File from the top menu, then click Load ROM.
Metal Slug is as much action-packed as it possible for the video game, launched in distant 2004. I always save the internternal game periodically When I play it again, the screen will suddenly blackout. You can also connect multiple gamepads at a time for local multiplayer. You can load saved corruptions intxt format or load a TinyURL link to corrupt your own ROMs. The problem is, Capcom Play System 2 emulator most of these games are shared as patch file, it could be in aips orups file formats. As we have mentioned before, we use the Visual Boy Advanced emulator for this tutorial.
A major ROM hacking community site for a variety of consoles with sharing of hacks. Now, launch the GBA emulator and go to the main menu and load your game ROMs on the emulator. There exist sources of copyright game ROMS on the interent which webos-internals will not link to. There also exist explanations of how to copy roms you own into files which VBA can use. Upon having the Pokemon Range of motion hack, you must be certain that it works on your technique appropriately. Other than that, you are going to have to either get a GBA or another DS. I recommend a GBA as it plays both GBA games and GB color.
If the game won't play on your device means that you probably downloaded the emulator that is incompatible with your OS, so try a different one. They include superior link cable support (over WiFi or Bluetooth), high game compatibility, fast forward and slow down modes, cheat codes, and hardware controller support. It was how you could play Game Boy without a having a Game Boy. 5. Then, tap on the Download button to download Nintendo DS Roms to iNDS emulator app. In order to avoid having problems the moment wishing to make use of a new Pokemon Emerald Rom crack, make sure that you understand how to produce these hackers to begin with.
To argue against emulators using the spirit of copyright law, one could say that emulators are inhibiting creativity since the emulators are just a duplication of prior work. This operates all of the GBA video games devoid of concern, however you gets problem when attempting to perform Manufacturers DS Video games. Piracy, however, enters the overall picture when the ROM of a particular Game Boy title gets distributed to a wider audience, with or without the original owner's permission. As game development budgets can attest, designing an explorable 3D world is much more time intensive than their 2D counterparts, so don't hold your breath for Mario Maker: 3D Edition.
One of the best ways to have a RANGE OF MOTION file is to try using the internet ROMHacks site. Developers' Foresight : The Start-Select exit code is removed for all three games, so you cannot go back a level and snag any power-ups or Yoshi. But that's to be expected of such an enormous undertaking, and something you can generally ignore because this rom hack really is SM64's next level. It is an open source Nintendo DS emulator that is able to run both demos and commercial games successfully. Now when you know much more about emulators and ROMs, you can start taking pleasure in playing GBA games on your computer.
For those who love classic games, and also have the technical and creative eye for it, ROM hacks are a perfect way to breathe new life into these iconic video games. There is an abundance of best emulators intended for Android (android emulator apps) that will allow you to play your favorite classic games on your mobile gadget. To be consistent between emulator and actual hardware, emulator players would have to use the SGB function on BGB (the only emulator as of today that has this functionality) and console players would have to use the SGB2.

'REMEMBRANCE DAY'
'As a new millenium dawns, only 100-year-old Selma Bartley knows the secret behind a Yorkshire village's refusal to honour it's war dead…
One summer's day in 1913, a brush with tragedy irrevocably binds the fates of two families forever.
A year later, and West Sharland sends it's men off to fight. Blacksmith's daughter Selma Bartley is left to manage both the family business and her blossoming feelings for aristocrat Guy Cantrell.
When Guy is wounded in battle, his identical twin Angus takes his place, unbeknownst to his brother. But reckless Angus's actions in France result in catastrophe for the Bartley family, hundreds of miles away in West Sharland.
Overnight, the village turns against the Bartleys and, urged on by her distraught parents, Selma is forced to make a new life in America .
Horrified at his brother's actions, Guy ends up in Pennsylvania, with a new identity and a sense of peace that has previously eluded him.
But years later, with war again on the horizon, secrets are resurrected, reuniting Selma and Guy – and the names of the dead must be uttered once more….
A mesmerising tale about how a landmark moment in history affected the lives of so many…'

MEMORABLE WORDS
'WHO MADE THE LAW?' by LESLIE COULSON
Who made the law that men should die in meadows?
Who spake the word that blood should wash in lanes?
Who gave it forth that gardens should be bone-yards?
Who spread the hills with flesh, and blood, and brains?
"What was denied us? The freedom to love where you find it, despite class, religion and nation. Theirs is this new world. Surely their love and happiness are all that matter now?"
"Time and silence quieten all the gathered assembly now the sacred moment of remembrance is here at last. What is there to pray but rest in peace … As long as this stone stands, none of you will ever be forgotten"
'LEST WE FORGET'
When I started reading this book, I was immediately taken back to my reading experience and the writing style, of Kate Morton's 'The House At Riverton', in as much as the composition and presentation techniques, and the tone and content of the writing, are quite similar. The story is told as one of the final acts of an elderly person, as a series of memories that are being recounted almost as a living testament, an atonement for wrong doings of long ago.
The main characters in this tragic and moving saga, are so well developed, with their own unique and recognizable personalities and traits, that it is sometimes hard to forget that this is a work of fiction and not fact, although fact is very much present throughout, woven skillfully into the fabric of the story.
There is some well researched material, about both the first and second World Wars and the Christian Anabaptist Mennonite communities, specifically those in the Pennslvania area of the US, in the mid to late 1900's.
The human spirit is examined closely in the two young protagonists, one from each side of the social divide, in the early to mid 1900's. Class distinction and community social status is still at its post colonial heyday, forcing them apart and attempting to define their destinies. Family loyalties are tested to the limit and found lacking by this new generation of young people, who are trying to shun the conventions and bridge the gap of the 'class war', but are born just too soon for this revolution in social attitudes. Then, when they are eventually reunited, in the strangest of circumstances, are they still the same people, with that same strong and true spirit that they once were?
There is also some interesting social commentary, which touches on the conscience of a nation, if not a World. About the punishment World War 1 soldiers received for the military offence of desertion and how the families of the executed personnel were treated here at home. The shame and humiliation felt by a shattered, hard working chapel going family from the village, is well constructed within the story, along with the jealousy and revenge seeking tactics for imagined wrongs and injustices as perceived by the gentry, who, unwilling to face up to their own failures and shortcomings, hide behind the lower ranks when justice is meted out.
It is clear however, that war is no class discriminator, but a leveller, taking the lives of sons, fathers, brothers and husbands, without distinction. So we start to see the closing of the social divide and the effect that it has on all members of a society, but is it already too late for our young couple, torn apart and flung asunder, whilst at home jealousy has been tempered with humility, shame surpassed by the final parting of a loved one, and a community's humiliation stunned to silence?
The ending may have been predictable to a point, but the final twists and turns in this lifelong saga, were left unrevealed until the last moment, with the lead up to the final revelations being well managed, realistic and credible.
An excellent, intense, moving and very satisfying story, that captured my imagination and held me spell-bound, until the very last page.
This book was a paperback charity shop purchase. Any thoughts or comments are my own personal opinion and I am in no way being monetarily compensated for this, or any other article.
I personally do not agree with 'rating' a book, as the overall experience is all a matter of personal taste, which varies from reader to reader. However some review sites do demand a rating value, so when this review is posted to such a site, it will attract a 4 out of 5.

I can't remember a time, even as a child, when I haven't been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.

A very nice review and your opening sentence is enough to make me seriously consider putting this on my wish list. I love Kate Morton's books and have read all but her latest (which I've just ordered).
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement Kelly, I appreciate them 🙂
I am assuming that it is 'The Lake House' which you have recently ordered?
Given that, on Goodreads alone, this book has received over 5,000 ratings and its average is over 4 out of 5 stars, it has definitely made my 'Want To Read' list, especially as so many of my Goodreads friends have recommended it.
Leah Fleming is quite a prolific author, writing an eclectic mix of contemporary, wartime and historical novels. Her latest work, due to be published in Autumn 2016, is a Second World War storyline, 'Dancing At The Victory Cafe', focusing on the stifling morality of a 1940s Midlands town, when the American army are welcomed with open arms by the local young females.
I hope that you enjoy 'Remembrance Day' if you decide to read it 🙂
Cleo @ Cleopatralovesbooks says:
You sold me this one! I do like books set in this period and loved The House at Riverton.
Hi Cleo,
Leah is one of those authors who can write successfully, whichever genre she chooses and in whatever time period she decides to set her story. I should imagine that well rounded and defined authors of this quality, are quite difficult to find.
I hope that you enjoy this book, should you decide to add it to your reading list.
I also enjoy Kate Morton's writing style and would love to have the time to explore her stories further.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it 🙂
Tracy Terry says:
Ooh I do like a good historical novel, add to which the mystery surrounding the secret of this Yorkshire village really appeals to me.
Great review, you have also sold this one to me despite the comparison with The House At Riverton which I didn't particularly enjoy.
Very hot here in the north east Yvonne, I hope you aren't suffering too much.
34 degrees yesterday, was a little too steamy for me, I'm afraid. I do like to see the sunshine, however I consider myself to be much more of a spring and autumn person.
Secrets, lies, prejudice, blame – you name it and practically every human emotion manifests itself in the single, small community of West Sharland. Only when it is too late, are amends made and forgiveness sought.
I think that, despite so many others being of the same opinion about the similarities between Leah Fleming's writing and storybuilding techniques and those of Kate Morton, author of 'The House At Riverton'; from my own personal perspective, the two are more aligned in the way the story is told to the audience and by whom. I don't therefore believe that if you didn't enjoy the Kate Morton book, you will necessarily have the same opinion of Leah Fleming's writing.
Thanks for taking the time out to read my review and leave a comment. I always appreciate reading your thoughts and views
HKatz says:
So this looks like one I'll be adding to my to-read list. I enjoyed your thoughtful review.
I plan to soon read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, set among women in the French Resistance during WWII. I think I'll need to prepare for it a bit mentally because I've heard that it's gut-wrenching. But also a good read.
Hi Hila,
It does sound as though you might enjoy reading a good wartime historical novel, so I can truly recommend 'Remembrance Day' as one for your list. Thank you for your kind comment about the review, I appreciate it 🙂
I keep promising myself that I won't add any more books to my groaning TBR pile, however 'The Nightingale' sounds so good and has received such excellent ratings and reviews, that I just couldn't refuse. I fact I could just have easily added all the titles by Kristin Hannah to my list, she is definitely an author I shall be following on Goodreads.
Enjoy the book 🙂

KSU alum eyes career as a diplomat
Fresh from a year-and-a-half-long internship helping repatriate former child soldiers in Ghana,…
Fresh from a year-and-a-half-long internship helping repatriate former child soldiers in Ghana, Kennesaw State alum Richard Walker picked up his graduate degree in conflict management and took off for a two-year stint in Botswana for the Peace Corps.
Those experiences, bolstered by a bachelor's degree in international relations from the University of Georgia, have set him on a career course that he hopes will ultimately lead to a job as a career diplomat. He has started the arduous process that could take up to two years to complete, by studying for the foreign service exam, taking online assessments, oral exams and establishing residence on a registry for as many as 18 months.
"Having a direct hand in the peace-building process really catapulted my interest in international affairs, human rights, international security and international development," said Walker, who interned in Ghana with Pittsburgh-based Mediators Beyond Borders.
Walker initially conducted research for the organization, then helped obtain identity documents for ex-combatants, talked to government officials, representatives of nongovernmental organizations and village elders to gain support so former Liberian child soldiers could be repatriated in their communities. He also completed research for his thesis, "Labor Market and Training Needs: Mapping of Reintegration Opportunities for Children Associated with Fighting Forces."
For the Peace Corps, Walker worked as a capacitybuilding consultant for orphans, children living with HIV and other vulnerable children in Botswana. He helped the organization find ways to grow, introducing strategies and programming and helping to mobilize community support.
"The organization grew 10-fold," he said proudly. "I'm really indebted to my professors in conflict management for cultivating my career path," Walker said. "They also equipped me with negotiation and mediation skills and the ability to work in culturally diverse and stressful situations."
Working so intensely in two distinct roles in very different African nations has had a life-changing and lasting impact on Walker, who grew up in Thomasville, Ga.
"I'm a completely different person, especially in the way I view people," he said. "It's all about simplicity. I'm not too concerned about [acquiring] material things to be happy. Friendships and relationships are the most important thing to me now."

Definition - What does Prone Pose mean?
Prone pose is a restorative posture lying on the stomach that is typically used for resting, to calm the mind and to settle the breath. It is the opposite of corpse pose, which is practiced lying on the back, and is sometimes called reverse corpse pose.
To enter prone pose, rest on the stomach with the forehead resting on the mat. The legs extend straight and the arms extend forward alongside the ears, palms down.
Prone pose is also known as advasana in Sanskrit.
Prone pose is most commonly used during asana practice as a restorative break or just after practice in order to still the body and mind. The breath should be rhythmic yet natural.
A blanket may be used to ease any minor discomforts during the pose. A blanket under the forehead or just below the chest may help breathing. A blanket below the knees can take pressure off the knees.

The Heritage at Millennium Park ( Erbe oder Kulturerbe) ist ein Hochhaus auf dem 130 N. Garland Court in Chicago, Illinois. Es wurde 2005 fertiggestellt und besitzt eine Höhe von 192 Metern bei 57 Stockwerken. Das Gebäude wurde vom Architekturbüro Solomon Cordwell Buenz, den Architekten des Legacy Towers, entworfen. The Heritage ist das 36.-höchste Gebäude in Chicago. Wie oft bei neueren Gebäuden üblich, wurden die Fassaden von bestehenden Gebäuden in das Design des Heritage integriert.

Das Heritage liegt direkt westlich von Millennium Park, mit freiem Blick auf den Millennium Park, Teilen des Grant Parks und des Lake Michigan. Es liegt direkt gegenüber dem Marshall Field and Company Building an der Wabash Avenue. Es besitzt einen eigenen Innenpool, ein Fitnessstudio, einen Partyraum, eine Dachterrasse und ein Parkhaus. Das Gebäude besitzt eine leichte Ähnlichkeit mit dem One Rincon Hill in San Francisco, das vom gleichen Architekturbüro entworfen wurde.

Hintergrund
Das Hochhaus ist integriert in das umfangreiche unterirdische Fußgängerwegesystem der Innenstadt. Zusätzlich zu Eigentumswohnungen, enthält das Heritage im Erdgeschoss auch Einzelhandelsflächen.

Bürgermeister Richard M. Daley erwog, seinen Wohnsitz ins Heritage zu verlegen. Er entschied sich aber letztendlich, an seinen Wohnsitz im South Loop festzuhalten.

Laut der Volkszählung des Jahres 2000 leben 16.388 Menschen im Chicago Loop. In jüngerer Zeit wurde die Postleitzahl 60602 des Loops vom Forbes Magazine die heißeste Postleitzahl des Landes genannt, bei dem Gebäude der oberen Preisklasse wie das Heritage at Millennium Park den Weg ebneten für andere Gebäude wie den Waterview Tower, The Legacy in Millennium Park und das Momo. Der durchschnittliche Verkaufspreis für Wohnimmobilien betrug laut Forbes 710.000 USD im Jahr 2005, der durchschnittliche Verkaufspreis im Heritage betrug im Jahr 2006 1.283.000 USD (nach Daten aus der MLS und Rubloff).
