Dorchester & Area Kinsmen Club.
We meet on the first and third Thursday of every month at the Community Center, in the Meeting Room, at 7:00 pm.
The Kinsmen are an all Canadian Service Club that is dedicated to serving the greatest needs of the community. The greatest need in any community is to continue to function and thrive as a community. All to often towns and villages become bedroom communities where people live, but seldom participate. This is not the case in North Dorchester, due in large part to the efforts of the Kinsmen and other local service clubs.
This principle of encouraging the community to gather as a community is promoted by the Kinsmen. We also provide the community with many long term facilities, such as the pathway through the main park, the Community Tennis Courts, the Boy Scout Pavilion and large Portable at the local camp, Camp Bel and many more projects.
As a national organization, we support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation extensively. Locally, we are helping to support a CF patient who is currently in the Lung Transplant Programme.
We meet on the first and third Thursday of every month at the Community Center, in the Meeting Room, at 7:00 pm. Our meetings include an outstanding meal. Everyone is welcome!

Daughters' Gifts Honor Late Meigs County Philanthropist
Daughters of Bernard Fultz Create $50,000 Impact
Through Meigs County Community Fund
Pomeroy, OH – Bernard Fultz was widely known as a private lawyer and as Meigs County's prosecuting attorney. He also had a passion for philanthropy, and he often gave his support to Meigs County causes. Fultz passed away in 2007, but his legacy of generosity is continuing to make an impact.
Elizabeth Kellogg, Becky Sundquist, and Barbara McManus, pictured left to right, honored their father, Bernard Fultz, with gifts to the Meigs County Community Fund.
Recently, Bernard Fultz's three daughters, Elizabeth Kellogg, Barbara McManus, and Becky Sundquist, honored their father's passion for philanthropy with gifts to support the Meigs County Community Fund (MCCF) at the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO). Each sister gave $5,000 to the Fund, which seeks to grow permanent resources for Meigs County's communities and all those who call Meigs County home. An additional, anonymous donor, gave $10,000 to honor Fultz.
"Our father was very involved in philanthropic pursuits when he was alive, and he did all kinds of things, often behind the scenes, to benefit Meigs County," said Barbara McManus. "Our mother, Betty, possessed the same passion for helping others and was his partner is all of these undertakings. Our parents would be pleased that we've carried on this tradition. I think they would feel they raised us right."
Thanks to a match opportunity through FAO, gifts from Barbara, her sisters, and the anonymous donor were all doubled to achieve $50,000 in impact for Meigs County.
"Working with Bernard, I saw his genuine philanthropic heart for Meigs County and saw him quietly give to many local needs. His daughters following his legacy shows that he passed on that philanthropic heart," said Linda Warner, a committee member of the MCCF who worked as Fultz's law partner.
Fultz believed everyone should have access to higher educational opportunities, and he dedicated himself to this vision. He established two scholarship funds to benefit Meigs County residents, the Bernard V. Fultz Scholarship at Rio Grande University and the Bernard V. Fultz Family Scholarship at The Ohio State University. Fultz also worked to fundraise for the establishment of the Bernard V. Fulz Center for Higher Education in Meigs County, which opened a year after his death. Additionally, Fultz personally sponsored and mentored local high school students through college.
The Meigs County Community Fund was created in 2011 to increase and advance philanthropic activities in Meigs County and gives everyone a way to give back to the Meigs County community.
The MCCF is continuing to raise funds through its Endow 200 campaign, launched to celebrate Meigs County's 200th birthday by growing resources to benefit Meigs County's people and communities forever. The campaign invites anyone who holds Meigs County close to their heart to give a gift of $3,000 or more, payable over five years.
Through this campaign, the MCCF hopes to build $1 million in endowment, which will grow over time to allow MCCF to make grants of approximately $40,000 every year into the future. So far, the Endow 200 campaign has raised more than $800,000, including the funds raised over the past year as part of FAO's match opportunity.
Gifts to the Meigs County Community Fund and the Endow 200 campaign are tax deductible and can be made in many ways, including cash, bequests, and life insurance. Donations can be made online at www.AppalachianOhio.org by designating the fund when donating. To mail your donation, please designate the fund and mail to the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, PO Box 456, Nelsonville, OH 45764.

Sometimes you make an idle discovery that keeps you smiling all afternoon.
My first taste of "real" sci-fi was at 16 or so, with The Mammoth Book of Best New Science Fiction, a collection of shorts edited by the great Gardner Dozois. I'd started to cool on the SF available in the UK around then – Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke had started to sound a bit samey and William Gibson hadn't yet hit the headlines with his scorching (if today oh-so-80s) visions of cyberspace.
And what an escape it was. Dozois is American, and probably the greatest sci-fi editor alive. (And thankfully still pushing 'em into print today.) I'm pretty sure I first met William Gibson and Bruce Sterling in these pages. (Checking, both had shorts in it, but I vaguely remember having read "The Winter Market" before; perhaps Gibson's antho "Burning Chrome" was already out at that time, but it wouldn't have been too many months apart.) I remember Steven Gould's "Peaches for Mad Molly", one of my favourite-ever sci-fi shorts, although it turns out that was in SF3.
All this is why the later books in the Mammoth series were among my first Kindle purchases decades later. Rereleased editions go back to Volume 13 and the 27th is just out. But nothing before 13 is available… and that's where the smile started.
Because these books are published in the USA and UK under different titles. The UK's Mammoth 27 is also the USA's Year's Best Science Fiction 31. And the Year's Bests are also available on Kindle, going all the way back to the first volume.
So it doesn't matter that the Mammoth books on Kindle only go back to 13, because British readers of Mammoths can buy Year's Bests to complete their set. Not just back to 13, but the whole kit and caboodle, starting with that first Year's Best from 1983.
So: finding the American Year's Best editions on Kindle let me complete my set and go beyond, with the three first collections published solely in the USA and the "missing" collection Year's Best 12. Today, they all went on the Wishlist.

Crest Car Loan - Saturday, June 18, 2011.
Car loans can be critical; they allow us to have the finances to purchase the car of our dreams. A person who lacks adequate credit to apply for a normal car loan may get a bad credit car loan. A bad credit vehicle loan offers a few components which distinguish it from a regular vehicle loan.
Bad credit car loan is among the most accessible car loans, they can be given to just about anybody, you do not need to have a perfect credit rating or report before you can apply for a bad credit car loan. A person with a sound, good or perfect credit rating can also apply for a bad credit car loan, if they find the terms and conditions of the loan very suitable. By contrast, only those with the best credit ratings can get normal car loans. If you have bad credit, you probably won't be able to apply for a normal car loan.
Regarding interest rate terms, a not good credit vehicle loan typically offers a greater rate of interest than a regular vehicle loan since the majority of lenders think that a not good credit vehicle loan is a big investment risk thus they should be beautifully awarded by charging expensive rates and surcharges. Regular vehicle loans draw normal and reasonable prices. The rates that are attached to a normal car loan are normal and don't have to be like that which is attached to a bad credit car loan.
When speaking of repayment duration, a car loan given to someone with bad credit generally has a short-term duration which the borrower can extend through renegotiation or cutting a new deal. A regular vehicle has a repayment time or amount of time which is within reason. You always have a sufficient amount of time to pay back a normal auto loan.


I had the unfortunate circumstance one day to discover how delicate the skin tissue around my eyes had become. It was not substantial. I would say that the fat seemed to be missing. During a regular and gentle washing with a wash cloth, a slightly swollen lymph node caught on the cloth and dragged right through my dermal layer.
It lay on my face like a zit about an inch below my eye, but it wasn't a pus-filled pore. It was the actual lymph node. That's when I decided to look into my general skin condition.
Overall, I was maintaining my normal, healthy body fat, but the area around my eyes was showing various levels of translucency, and even transparency in a couple spots.
I started treating the tissue with swipes of Frankincense, a crescent sweep following the tissue's general contour. I did this for weeks, 2-3 times a day, simply because I felt better about the attempt although I cannot say for sure that I saw much difference.
Then one day in the mirror, I noticed it was gone. The tissue had restored itself and the node was fully retracted. The skin was smooth and the area around my eyes generally was in better tone.
Additional keyword(s) assigned by the editor: aging, collagen, damage, dermis, fragile, lymphatic distension, thinning.


I would add Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell however I finished that today – I think before today I had read 40 pages in bed and decided I was too invested in Cath and Levi to wait to finish it. I want a guy like Levi – never before have I wanted to drag a character out of a book before. Well except Alex from the I Heart Series, I had always imagined him looking like Enrique Iglesias. I need to stop before I start getting creepy.
Fangirl was such an incredible book. Rainbow Rowell just has this way of writing books I want to read till I finish it.

Support the Zoo
One of our Chimpanzees, Sam, has died after a battle with heart disease. Sam was 38 and had been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in 2014.
While his symptoms could be treated in the short term, there is no cure and he was euthanised after his health recently deteriorated.
Our Zoo Keepers and Veterinary Team have been monitoring Sam's health closely over the last 18 months, and we were able to get expert advice from cardiologists from Wellington Hospital and the Great Ape Heart Project. However, Sam's symptoms were having more of an impact on his health and social wellbeing, and there was no further possibility of improving his overall welfare. Animal welfare is our top priority, so the decision to euthanise Sam was made in his best interests.
Everyone here at the Zoo will miss Sam's calm presence, and his peaceful attitude among the rest of the Chimpanzee community.
Sam was born at Wellington Zoo in 1978, and has fathered a number of Chimpanzees. He was often known for his penchant for blankets or sacks.
"Sam was a sun-smart Chimpanzee, always first to nab a blanket to cover up from the sun – or to wrap up warm on cooler days," said Senior Keeper Harmony Wallace. "He was easy to distinguish from the other Chimps with his large presence, and always being the first one up for food. Always a lover, never a fighter – it's not surprising that he didn't ever make a bid for the alpha spot, but his loss will be noted by the other Chimpanzees."
Chimpanzees have a complex social structure, and while Sam was a low-key member of the community, it is likely that his passing will mean further changing of the dynamics for his community.
"Any change of dynamics in a community of Chimpanzees can shake up the social structure, so we will be observing how the Chimpanzees respond," said Harmony. "One of the young adult Chimpanzees, Alexis, has made some recent challenges for the alpha spot, which is currently held by Marty. It could be that Sam's passing could be the next catalyst for change."
As heart disease is a major cause of mortality for great apes in human care, it is studied widely by the Great Ape Heart Project. Experts from the project were able to contribute advice to Sam's care, and a post-mortem examination will take place to help contribute to their growing body of research.
Clinical Assistant Professor of Cardiology at the University of Georgia, Gregg Rapoport, is one of the cardiac advisors for the Great Ape Heart Project based at Zoo Atlanta. He says, "Good strides are being made to better understand the heart conditions affecting the great apes, but we certainly have a long way to go."
"Sam was, unfortunately, an example of the limitations we still have in our ability to successfully treat severe heart disease when it occurs in the great apes under our care. This parallels the larger experience in other animals, including human beings, so many people are working hard to improve our strategies of detecting and managing heart disease and heart failure. It is critical to learn whatever we can from the heart disease we do see, since this will lead to greater success in the future."
Chimpanzees are an endangered species due to loss of habitat and poaching for bush meat and pet trades. Wellington Zoo is a member of the Jane Goodall Institute – which works to protect Chimpanzees and other primates by supporting sanctuaries, reduce illegal animal trafficking, and education to protect endangered apes in the wild.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a slow progressive disease of the heart muscle, which reduces the heart's ability to beat and contract.

Coast Guard Stresses Safety For Lobster Divers
By Matt Rascon	• Published October 2, 2015 • Updated on October 2, 2015 at 8:45 pm
As spiny lobster season opens, the Coast Guard is warning divers to be extra cautious going out into the water. The goal is to begin and end the season without any deaths or injuries.
During last year's lobster season in Southern California, five people lost their lives in dive-related deaths and two were injured. Lobster diving, not to be confused with regular diving, can be very dangerous. Coast Guard authorities say there's a lot more to it than just diving.
"You're actively trying to grab the lobsters, maintain a hold of them while monitoring your air pressure in your tank, your location under the water," Lt. Cmdr. Kris Szczechowicz of the Coast Guard said.
All of that makes this a sport for the experienced diver. Last year among the five people who lost their lives was husband, father and experienced diver Jeffrey Logrando. He began struggling with his gear shortly after getting in the water at the Mission Bay Channel and then suddenly sank.
James Roberts has been diving for several years, but Friday he prepared for his first lobster dive. At the start of this season, officials urge that before you even get into the water, get a medical assessment from a doctor to make sure you're in good condition. They say to check your gear, practice with it, leave behind a dive plan with someone else and - as Roberts can attest to - always dive with a buddy.
"We were diving last weekend as well and I happen to cross a fishing line I didn't see," Roberts told NBC7. "So my buddy was there, he untangled the fishing line and we carried on."
Authorities say many of these accidents happen because people underestimate the hazards of diving and overestimate their own ability.

November 6, 2009: Just after sunrise looking toward Gilbert Lake from the grounds of Gilbert Lodge.
A closer look reveals Canadian geese swimming in the less-than-warm waters. There had been a thin layer of ice on the lake the day before, but it did not last long.
Josie is nice and warm in a chair in a guest room on the south side of the Lodge.
Paula went SCUBA diving with friends Leslie Kopietz and Rob Fitzsimmons on Gull Lake near Brainerd. The dive site was near a public landing on the east side of the lake just south of Hole in the Day Drive. Paula came up with some interesting items.
The treasure included a bucket, a coffee pot, and two bottles. Paula is trying to work out the lineage on the bottles.
Sunset as seen just south of Brainerd. That night, we took Paula's dad Chet Timman out to a "hunters stew" dinner at Brainerd VFW Post 1647. Saturday was the beginning of the firearms hunting season for deer in Minnesota. Chet served every day of WWII in the U.S. Navy.

Hauser & Wirth Zürich is delighted to present 'Eden', a newly conceived curatorial investigation of Fausto Melotti, the Italian artist often linked with titans of the post-war era, such as Alexander Calder, Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti. This examination of Melotti is the first of its kind, highlighting the relationship between human and animal figures – a dynamic at the core of his practice. The exhibition spans the diverse media employed by the artist, chiefly ceramics, sculpture and works on paper, with those embracing a more gestural and suggestive representation brought to the fore.
Melotti began his sculptural practice with a distinct interest in form, weight, balance and movement, informed by his educational background in physics, mathematics and engineering. The 1950s saw a radical shift in the artist's creative approach as he started to incorporate wire in his work – this new direction had a profound impact on the course of Melotti's career and would occupy him until his late years. 'Eden' focuses on the burgeoning of this shift and takes visitors through Melotti's lyrical and polyhedral vocabulary into a mythological and visionary terrain, as if to be among the artist's own Garden of Eden.
Melotti turned towards the animal form as he began to focus on the creation of mythological landscapes. The work on paper 'I Viaggi' (The Journeys) (1951) exemplifies the artist's interest in mystical beasts and beings: the wet, dripping tempera paint becomes a tool that blurs the dividing lines between the animal and human bodies depicted, conveying them as indivisible. 'I Viaggi', like many of his abstract sculptures, shows a continued interest in symmetry, maintaining compositional balance among the figures. In addition, Melotti can be seen as breaking with a definitive commitment to line and structure, leaning towards a more gestural investigation of form. The earthy hues of his colour palette – burnt ochre, teal, charcoal – evoke an abundant land, emphasising the celestial character of the figures. The artist would continue with this approach to line and colour in his late oeuvre.
The selected metal- and wire-based sculptures on view maintain a consistency with the grounding principles of Melotti's practice, but reconsider the human figure through an investigation of proportion. 'I giganti' (The giants) (1969/1970) comprises an assembly of metal stems poised on a central foundation; fused together at the base, they support one another through equilibrium. Geometric appendages – circles, crescents, right angles – mimic human forms, suggesting a nodding head or a raised arm. Melotti's sensitive manipulation of the metal wire renders the composition animated and joyful, and we see the artist considering the role of proportion and the physical limitations of bodily expression. 'I giganti' is testament to Melotti's fascination with refining the theatrical role of the human figure through the lens of strict sculptural principles.
Behind the seemingly blithe and intuitive character of Melotti's sculptures, resides a deep conception of art as a rigorous exercise in order and harmony, based on firm principles of geometry and musical structure. In 'Eden' we see how this approach led him to pursue the representation of animals and people, exploring how mathematical principles could align with the figurative and symbolic.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Fondazione Fausto Melotti will publish online the first chapter of the artist's catalogue raisonné, going live on 30 March 2017 at www.fondazionefaustomelotti.org. This marks the beginning of the Foundation's project to provide online access to the complete catalogue raisonné in English. Each chapter will include new material, building on the original printed content.
Fausto Melotti's first retrospective was at Museum Ostwall Dortmund, Germany, in 1971. Other major exhibitions include: Palazzo della Pilotta, Parma, Italy (1976); Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy (1979); Forte Belvedere, Florence, Italy (1981); Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome, Italy (1983); IVAM – Centre Julio González, Valencia, Spain (1994 – 1995); Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Nagoya, Japan (1999); a complete survey at Kunsthalle Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany (2010) which subsequently toured to Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Winterhur, Switzerland (2011); and Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, Italy (2014). The artist is represented in important public collections around the world including Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Rome, Italy; The Museum of Modern Art, New York NY; and Walker Art Center, Minneapolis MN. Melotti died in 1986, and was posthumously awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale that year.

A night at the Saturn Awards…
I should start off by saying that, sadly, "Not Forgotten" came home from the 36th Annual Saturn Awards empty-handed on Thursday night. Sorry…
But one of the things I learned about attending my first big-time award show (as a nominee!) is that it really is an honor just to be nominated. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. And seeing as the folks who put on the Saturn Awards are some of the coolest, geekiest, sci-fi, fantasy and horror fans imaginable (people like me!) I was even doubly honored.
Seriously, I have never felt more at home in a room full of Hollywood phonies, and that's because these people were not your everyday Hollywood phonies.
No way, man, these folks were the real deal. That Starlight Ballroom was busting at the seams with talented, creative, film-loving freaks and geeks of every shape and size…and those people know how to party, yo!
This year, the Saturn Awards were held at the Castaway Restaurant in the hills overlooking Burbank…and if there was any doubt as to where you were when you got out of your car, the scads of little alien heads at the bar and the life size astronaut suit on the red carpet totally clued you in.
Still wondering what award show you were at? Well, perhaps you should ask that fellow over there in the Samurai Stormtrooper costume, or the man driving the moon buggy in a grungy space suit. I swear, amigos, I never stopped smiling all night…that place was fanboy heaven.
Rubbing shoulders with people like Sam Raimi, Leonard Nimoy, Billy Dee Williams, Guillermo Del Toro, Malcolm McDowell, the lovely Anna Torv from "Fringe", cast members from "Heroes", "Chuck" and "Breaking Bad", iconic "The Greatest American Hero" star himself, William Katt, and actually being touched by the dude who played touch-happy Jacob on "Lost" (Mark Pellegrino)…I mean, shit, who needs an award with a line-up like that?
Of course, we would have loved to have won our category — we lost to Rod Lurie's "Nothing But The Truth", which includes no sci-fi, fantasy or horror to speak of — but, we were having too much fun to dwell on the loss for long. I mean, the food was great, the bar was wide open — Daddy had three mojitos and a chocolate vodka martini, but who's counting? — and the vibe at the Castaway was awesome, so, what's to complain about?
And on top of all that coolness, I managed to score two gift bags at the end of the night. Sure, I felt a little greedy lugging them around the after-party in the courtyard, but what can I say, I loves me some free shit. And when that free shit involves "King Kong" and "Avatar" DVD's, well, all the better!
Thanks again for the nomination, guys…long live the Saturn Awards! To see a full list of this year's Saturn Award winners, please click here.

This group is dedicated to exploring mobile device development, be it phones, tablets or any other personal device. We are friendly to all platforms (in spite of our location) and we'll be focusing on at least iPhone, Android and Windows Phone devices.We will cover development patterns and libraries in depth, but we will also go beyond pure development to take a look at the environment and business opportunities available to mobile developers.
Welcome to DC Software Craftsmanship User Group!This group is for software developers that care about the quality of their work and want to practice and improve their programming skills, share what they know and learn new thing from others.This is a hands-on coding user group with no presentations. Each meeting will be a dojo where we will go through a challenging software craftsmanship exercise that focuses on clean code, test-driven development, design patterns, and refactoring.
The focus of the group is still being defined. There are multiple "Android Developers" meetups, but we wanted to do something to support devs working on real apps.A suggestion was posted in another android meetup about a meetup for testing on different devices. The proliferation of Android devices is great for the platform, but a real problem for developers. One part of this meetup would be getting together and trying out developer apps on different devices.
San Francisco Silverlight User Group is about bringing people together who are interested and/or involved with Microsoft Silverlight. Designers and Developers are both welcome, because we'll be talking about both UX/interface design as well as patterns and best practices relating to Silverlight technology.
MyBuilder.com has gotten a lot out of using the Symfony framekwork for their systems and felt it was time to give something back to the community.So we are hosting the London hub for State of Symfony 2, attendance is free, everyone is welcome!What is Symfony?Symfony is a web application framework for PHP projects.It aims to speed up the creation and maintenance of web applications, and to replace the repetitive coding tasks by power, control and pleasure.
The Pivotal Tracker User Groups are a forum for product managers, project managers, entrepreneurs, and developers to share techniques and discuss the real day-to-day issues surrounding software project management. We'll talk about upcoming Tracker features and look at third-party integrations. We'll discuss story estimation techniques and talk about what makes a good story.

Q: Split string by character in a loop I want to determine on macOS which version of .NET runtimes I have installed.
I'm using command dotnet --list-runtimes to print available versions.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.9 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.11 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.9 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.11 [/usr/local/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]

Would love to create an array with above versions like ["6.0.9, "6.0.11"] to be able to see if there's a version higher or equal than, for example, 6.0.11.
I have a code that looks like this:
if [[ -f "/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet" ]]
then
    IFS=' '
    declare sdks=$(dotnet --list-runtimes)
    for runtime in "${sdks}"
    do
        echo $runtime
        declare split=("")
        read -a split <<< $runtime
        echo ${split[1]}
    done
    IFS=''
else
    echo "ERROR: Unable do determine installet .NET SDK."
fi

Unfortunately echo ${split[1]} prints only once 6.0.9.

A: If you want to print unique versions then use:
dotnet --list-runtimes | awk '!seen[$2]++{print $2}'

If you want to create an array in bash 3.2 then use:
vers=()
while read -r v; do
   vers+=("$v")
done < <(dotnet --list-runtimes | awk '!seen[$2]++{print $2}')

# check array content
declare -p vers

declare -a vers=([0]="6.0.9" [1]="6.0.11")

Breakdown:

*

*awk '!seen[$2]++{print $2}': prints unique version numbers from field #2

*< <(...) is process substitution

*readarray populates given array vers using output of process substitution

A: Here's a bash version:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -a sdks
while read -r runtime; do
    set $runtime
    sdks+=("$2")
done < <(dotnet --list-runtimes)

echo "${sdks[@]}"

A: Does this work for your purposes?
dotnet --list-runtimes | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sort | uniq | xargs
6.0.11 6.0.9

Update
As used in a loop:
> for version in $(dotnet --list-runtimes | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | sort | uniq | xargs); do echo $version; done
6.0.11
6.0.9

A: Check:
$ array=( $(dotnet --list-runtimes | awk '{a[$2]=""}END{for (i in a) print i}') )
$ printf '%s\n' "${array[@]}"
6.0.9
6.0.11

2018 has been an eventful year in many ways and in November we marked the one hundredth anniversary of the end of the First World War. I picked up Deborah Carr's new novel, The Poppy Field, to read over the centenary weekend, but I've since fallen behind with my reviews, which is why I'm only posting about it now.
The Poppy Field has two narratives, one set in 2018 and the other in 1916-18. First, in the present day, we meet Gemma, a British trauma nurse who has taken some time away from her stressful job to work on the renovation of a farmhouse in Doullens, in Northern France. Her father has recently inherited it and wants to get it into a good enough condition to be able to sell. With the help of Tom, a man she meets in Doullens who offers to assist with the building work, Gemma begins the long and difficult task of restoring the house to its former beauty. During the refurbishment, they discover a bundle of old letters dating back to World War I, written by an Alice Le Breton, and as soon as Gemma settles down to start reading them, she becomes obsessed with finding out how Alice's story will end.
The other thread of the novel follows Alice, a young woman from Jersey in the Channel Islands, who volunteers as a VAD nurse at a casualty clearing station near Doullens during the war. Working conditions at the station are challenging and often horrifying, as wounded soldiers are brought in from the front line and the doctors and nurses do their best to save lives with the limited medication and equipment available to them. In the midst of so much pain and suffering, Alice is still able to find some happiness when she falls in love with one of her patients – but in times of war life is uncertain and Alice knows that her dreams could be shattered in an instant.
Although Alice and Gemma are very different people, there are many parallels between their stories – they are both nurses, they have both reached important turning points in their lives, and they have both found themselves in the same part of France. They also each become involved in a romance, but while I found Alice's very moving (as wartime romances usually are), I thought Gemma's was less convincing and very predictable. She meets the man who will become her love interest almost as soon as she arrives in France and there's no real suspense involved in wondering whether they will end up together or not. Gemma's whole storyline felt like little more than a frame for Alice's, but I find that's often the case with dual-time period novels and I almost always prefer one narrative over the other.
Although I'd hoped for more from this book, I did still enjoy it, particularly the historical sections and the details of Alice's nursing work. The two separate threads of the story tie together nicely towards the end and the novel as a whole is an interesting and poignant read.
Thanks to HarperImpulse for providing a copy of this book for review via NetGalley.
This sounds pretty good, and I don't mind dual narratives at all.
I don't mind dual narratives either, but I tend to find one more enjoyable than the other (usually the historical one).
I sometimes like dual narratives, but I'm beginning to agree with some people that the device is being used too much.
I often like dual narratives too, but sometimes I think the modern day storyline feels unnecessary and I would have preferred just the historical one.
Yes, I almost think some writers are falling into it because of laziness. It's more difficult to write one story line than two.
I do like the sound of this and always like a dual narrative but I do feel that sometimes I am rushing through one section to get back to the better of the two.
I think the dual narrative structure works very well in some books, but isn't really necessary in others. With this book, I definitely found the wartime sections much stronger.
Helen, I don't tend to read a lot of books set during the World Wars – I'm not sure why – but I do like the sound of this. As you know, I love a good dual-narrative book. Like you though, I usually find myself more gripped by the past thread.
I love books set during the World Wars, especially the First World War. I enjoyed this one, but it was definitely the thread set in the past that was the most interesting.

Swiss Life Asset Managers has more than 160 years of experience in managing the assets of the Swiss Life Group. This insurance background has exerted a key influence on the investment philosophy of Swiss Life Asset Managers, which is governed by such principles as value preservation, the generation of consistent and sustainable performance and a responsible approach to risks.
Our objective is to achieve stable, long-term investment returns, creating the basis for our clients to make solid, long-term plans with self-determination and financial confidence. Due to its comparatively attractive risk-return profile of the asset class, Swiss Life has committed its balance sheet capital to Real Estate for over 120 years. Swiss Life Asset Managers co-invests with many of its clients providing strong alignment of interest.
Swiss Life Asset Managers offers this proven approach to third-party clients in Switzerland, France, Germany and the UK with over 1450 real estate professionals in 26 offices around these five countries.
As at 31 December 2018 assets under management for third-party clients amount to EUR 63.3 billion. Together with insurance assets for the Swiss Life Group, total assets under management at Swiss Life Asset Managers stood at EUR 206.7 billion.
Swiss Life Asset Managers is the leading real estate manager in Europe1. Of the assets totaling EUR 206.7 billion, EUR 55.7 billion is invested in real estate. In addition, Swiss Life Asset Managers has real estate under administration of EUR 25.3 billion through its subsidiaries Livit and Corpus Sireo. Total real estate under management and administration at the end of December 2018 thus came to EUR 81.0 billion. Swiss Life Asset Managers employs over 1800 people in Europe.
INDUSTRIAL: Ongoing strong demand for logistics is visible in increasing transaction volumes. Demand is driven by good fundamental such as the economy and growth in e-commerce. Due to demand/growth, yield compressed quiet strongly during the past three to four years. We expect the same movement in 2018, after that more sideways movements. At the moment it is probably the one sector with the strongest pressure on yields. Main sector activity stems from 'traditional' companies but trends in logistics, ie, in e-commerce and also increases in consumer spending offer a good basis for growth of the sector.
OFFICE: Office markets still see highest demand and appetite keeps up, for one given by overall attractiveness of the real estate markets, for the other as good economic fundamentals keep demand for office space up. The lack of new supply and of existing good quality has somewhat aggravated in the course of 2017, pushing rental growth in most markets. Overall, there we also expect rents to grow in 2018. We expect momentum to uphold until 2019, before slightly changing direction or only being stable. Also the office markets undergo some structural changes, as space for companies isn't just a cost anymore, but an asset to attract and motivate good employees. We expect strongest growths in cities that exhibit a strong base in technology and creative sector along with a good quality of life.
RESIDENTIAL: Due to demographics, housing remains a major trend in Europe. New forms of housing with high flexibility for younger people are being developed as well as senior-friendly facilities for older people. Markets that are less known for residential investment are attracting attention (ie, Dublin, France and Spain). In this early stage, the residential market may qualify as an alternative sector, so investors need to be cautious.
RETAIL: Remains challenging, as structural change ongoing and retailers need to adapt. Continuing low inflation should buoy up retail sales. Only exception is the UK, where e-commerce, an economic slowdown and low wage growth are strongly impacting the sector. Overall, we believe in the adaptability of store-based formats to compete with e-commerce in the long run, but we remain sceptical for the medium term given the challenging situation.
OTHERS: Growing importance of the residential sector underlines the shift to other alternative segments such as hotels and healthcare. The mature phase of the cycle has prompted some investors to focus on the higher-yielding alternative sector. Hunt for yield is only one part of these sectors' growth, given that they also benefit from Europe's ageing population (senior housing) and increasing travel activity (hotel).
The world and the economy are changing and demanding more from real estate. This has manifested as a shift in the way that occupiers use property and the lease terms they are seeking. Against this backdrop, we are focused on ensuring our clients' portfolios reflect this 'new world' that is being shaped by globalisation, digitalisation and changes within our society. For us, managing assets and risks means protecting wealth and increasing earnings potentials over the long term. Our asset management is based on understanding our clients' risk and return expectations and accurately reflecting them in the market. Our top priority is to invest responsibly and act prudently with the assets entrusted to us.
We manage risk actively and perform risk controls systematically on an ongoing basis to monitor the individual portfolios. These controls enable our clients to review at any time whether the risks incurred are within the set limits and whether the predefined investment process is being observed. The aim is to identify risks early, to avoid them, and to exploit opportunities for the benefit of our clients.
Over the past years, Swiss Life Asset Managers has constantly grown its business activities organically and inorganically. We offer comprehensive services across the full real estate value chain with strong European routes and 26 offices in Europe with over 1,400 real estate professionals.
Capabilities: closed & open ended real estate funds (listed and non-listed), investment foundations, fund of funds, JVs, club deals.
Sectors: office, retail, residential, healthcare, hotel, logistics, student housing.
Broad range of investment strategies across the risk return spectrum with specific focus on well diversified Pan-European core/core capabilities.
Thematic investment strategies such as European retail, healthcare, hotel and leisure.
Swiss Life Asset Managers also acts as a partner for co-investments in Europe.

UK real estate returned 2.2% in the second half of 2018 and 6.0% on an annual basis, according to the MSCI All Property quarterly index. Capital growth of 1.4% was achieved over the year, largely due to the yield compression, although this was supported by 0.5% rental value growth.
Investors are relatively unimpressed by the slowing in economic dynamics. Attractive risks spreads compared to other asset classes are keeping up the interest in European real estate and hence also the volume of transactions.
Swiss real estate investments remain popular among investors. The attractiveness of the high risk spread seems to be clouded neither by structural changes in the office and retail sector nor by vacancy rate increases in the residential sector.
Swiss Life Asset Managers reports positive results for its real estate business in 2018. Last year, the asset management company reported a real estate transaction volume throughout Europe amounting to around EUR 10 billion.

TMF President Ryan Manion has one speed…GO!
Chase Millsap
It's pouring rain as the photographer and I run through the cobbled streets of Philadelphia. You can see it in the locals' faces and the Colonial buildings still standing strong just blocks from the Liberty Bell that this city is tough. For over 300 years, Philly has been the home of patriots, presidents and even movie characters such as Rocky Balboa. Yet, there is one theme that continues to define Philadelphians. No matter how much they struggle, get kicked around or scarred, there will be a moment when they rise, gritty and determined, and GO on with their mission.
We arrive at the Union League, a brick and brownstone club, which has supported the military and veterans since 1862. As we pass two statues of soldiers marching off to war, I receive a text, "Finishing a board meeting. Use the side entrance. You won't be allowed in unless you are in a jacket. Which I assume you are not." The subject of our next interview is 100% correct and I instantly know we are in the place where Ryan Manion and her team hold court each December.
Ryan is the President of the Travis Manion Foundation, co-author of the Knock at the Door, mother, Gold Star sister and marathon runner. She's busy. Always on the go, and the second week of December is her Super Bowl.
The night before our interview, she led the annual If Not Me, Then Who gala, which honors fallen heroes, veterans, active-duty troops and military families. Today, she's leading the TMF board meeting, which includes current CEOs and former generals. Tomorrow, she'll go on Fox Sports to represent TMF at the Army-Navy game where Navy will take home the win (but we don't know that yet). Ryan has thankfully given us thirty minutes of her downtime for a one-on-one interview which she tells me is "no big deal" after I thank her again.
The Travis Manion Foundation is a big deal. The non-profit, which started as a small family effort, is now an organization that coordinates thousands of community volunteers across the nation. Ryan, who lost her brother, 1st Lieutenant Travis Manion, and her team are driven by the mission to "empower veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations."
The most amazing thing about Ryan Manion is not only all that she and her team have accomplished since 2007 but the fact that she is still going, and going strong. Ryan, who grew up in the Philadelphia suburbs, is a former smoker who now runs marathons and does ruck marches. She talks fast and moves faster. "Come on, let's GO," she tells us when we see her. I follow, knowing without a doubt that Ryan is the next generation of tough as nails leader that Philly is known for.
WATM: How's your Army-Navy week going?
Ryan's phone rings. It's a family call. She answers while we start taking photos. Then she's back.
Ryan Manion: It's been a little heavy this week. We started off Tuesday with a meeting for all our senior TMF leadership, which we did for the first time. They flew in from all over the country. Then Tuesday night, we had a huge book event here in Philly, and my son has pneumonia.
WATM: OMG, that is a lot.
Ryan: He's fine. Home with the family. He had a cold for three days. It didn't even seem like a big cold. You know, it's been kind of crazy.
WATM: How do you manage everything on your plate?
Ryan: I love what I do, and I get to work on wonderful things. We've been working on a project for tomorrow's Army-Navy Game. We're bringing 30 wounded warriors and their families to meet the President during the third quarter.
WATM: Wow, that is amazing. Did you ever see yourself doing this kind of work? Especially leading an organization such as the Travis Manion Foundation?
Ryan: Today, one of our board members said it best, "It all just gets back to Travis, saying, if not me, then who?" And that kind of simplified the journey for me. I thought to myself, 'Oh my God. I'm sitting here with all these people because of my brother.'
WATM: You and your family established the organization as a way to carry on Travis's legacy. Does it still feel that way a decade later?
Ryan and her brother Travis at the Army-Navy Game.
Ryan: Last night, somebody at the gala who was a Marine that served with Travis came up to me and said, "You know, I've been at this gala for eight years now, and every year gets better and better. It's unbelievable. But I got to tell you, I was sitting there thinking, these people don't know who Travis Manion was."
WATM: How did that make you feel?
Ryan: Travis is my personal driver, but this organization is bigger than one person. I am excited for so many to see the fruits of what he stood for through this organization.
WATM: If Not Me, Then Who?
Ryan: Exactly. My brother wrote those words before he deployed to Iraq, and they represent the character, leadership and selfless service that is the backbone of all our programs. Whether it is our strength-building seminars, expeditions, fitness events or service projects, we unite our volunteers, both civilian and veteran, in the common cause to better their communities by living the mantra of "If Not Me, Then Who…"
WATM: What do you think draws people to the foundation and your work?
Ryan: It's funny because our board was just asking me the same thing.
WATM: And?
Ryan: I have to tell you, the thing about our organization is that it's like the feeling you get when you're around your family. It started out as a family affair. It was a small family that was grieving the loss of their loved one. But even as we've grown, it doesn't matter what event you're at or how many show up. You know, tomorrow there will be a thousand people at our tailgate, everyone's going to feel like they're part of a team, a family.
WATM: Was that the plan from the beginning?
Ryan laughs. I've been to a few TMF tailgates, and we both know the answer.
Ryan: I can't articulate in words why that is. But you've been around it, you see it, and I don't know what drives that. We come from a very different place from a lot of other traditional veterans service organizations, especially those in the post 9/11 world. I think they're all doing great work. They came with an idea, "Ok, this is the problem, and this is how we're going to solve it."
We came with, "I just lost my brother, my mom and dad just lost their son. And we want to make sure that we continue his legacy." So when you come at it from that place, there's no chance that it's gonna be anything but super authentic in what you're doing. Since then, it's been, "Ok, we're going to do this. Oh, people are into it. Ok? Let's keep doing it. Oh, wow. We're really doing something here now." That's the plan.
Ryan smiles as I point to her new book, The Knock At the Door.
Ryan Manion with a copy of her book, The Knock at the Door.
WATM: So let's talk about the book. First of all, congratulations.
Ryan: Thank you. Yes, it's pretty awesome.
WATM: What's the feedback you're getting so far?
Ryan: The feedback has been tremendous. We've found that this book, to some degree, breaks down the wedge between the civilian and military worlds because everyone receives some type of knock at the door. We all have challenges that we weren't expecting to appear in our lives.
The Knock At the Door shows what a military family goes through when they lose someone. But this story doesn't end there. Our story just begins there. So it's set in a much different context. The Knock At the Door empowered me and my co-authors into another chapter of our lives. We all had different journeys from shock to finding purpose.
WATM: In the book, you describe how physical fitness helped you find focus. Specifically moving from smoking to running the Marine Corps Marathon?
Ryan: I totally recognize the extreme of it all. Physical fitness is huge both in general and in times of grief. It was truly eye-opening when I discovered the effect it had on my daily psyche. I mean, people say, exercise is a little bit of a drug and they're right. That's why I had to write about my physical journey alongside my emotional one. I went through some dark times after I lost my brother. I struggled with anxiety and depression and was ultimately diagnosed with PTSD. It was realization that I was not ok that helped me to pick up the pieces.
WATM: Is there anything that people are really responding to or the people are coming to you afterwards and saying, I love this. That you're finding people are really resonating with?
Ryan: I think for me, people were surprised about how vulnerable I was in the book. You know, I've been given the opportunity to run a veteran serving organization that requires a lot of professional appearances and public speaking. People get to meet me as the President of the Travis Manion Foundation, but this book showed a whole different side of me.
WATM: Was it scary to be that vulnerable and open?
Ryan: Yes. You know, the other thing that's been really great about the book is the response from the Gold Star community. If you would have asked me before I wrote, what's your biggest fear? It would be that like the Gold Star community doesn't connect with this. And they have.
Ryan with her TMF GORUCK.
WATM: What do you think Travis would say about all of this?
Ryan: I don't know what Travis would be doing now. I don't know if he'd still be in the Marine Corps, if he'd be out and working in corporate America or doing something less traditional. I have no idea. But I know that he would be involved in this world. He would not be the veteran that takes off the uniform, goes away and is unconnected to what's happening in their community. But would I be connected to this world? Probably not, because my brother would have been. I think he would be proud that I am involved and active with the Travis Manion Foundation, but he would have hated that it's named after him.
WATM: I think I can understand that.
Ryan: We were years into this thing, and my dad's like, "I just feel like I don't think Travis would like that his name is everywhere. It's nameless, maybe we should change the name?" And my response was something like, "Dad, you're kidding. We're in too deep. Travis's name represents this generation." And so, that's my rebuttal. I think Travis would be super proud of what's happening in his name.
WATM: Is there anything that you're looking forward to in 2020? Maybe something you're scared about or something we should keep on our radar?
Ryan: The next big thing I'm doing is going to Puerto Rico at the end of January for one of our service expeditions. We have eight or nine of these service expeditions a year, but this one is special. I will be traveling with a Marine who was with Travis when he was killed. We will be doing rehab projects for veterans' homes effected by the hurricane a couple of years ago. I am looking forward to that.
WATM: Will you keep us updated on the trip?
Ryan: Of course.
WATM: Last question. Who do you think will win the Army-Navy Game tomorrow?
Ryan: Navy all the way. (Turns out she was right)

The Howgill Fells are a compact group of hills approximately 40 square miles in extent to the north west of the Yorkshire Dales. This area can be conveniently seen on a map by drawing a triangle between the town of Sedbergh at the southern tip of the range and the villages of Tebay and Ravenstonedale at the north west and north east corners respectively.
Howgill Fells Gallery: Click on the photos below to enlarge.
The southern half of the Howgills are actually a part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is sometimes pointed out that the southern Howgill Fells are the only part of the National Park to be outside the county of North Yorkshire, being just over the Cumbrian border.
While technically true this is somewhat misleading as the section of the Howgills in the Dales National Park was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire and so was actually part of that county when the park was formed. The northern Howgills, today in Cumbria, but originally in the county of Westmorland are not covered by any existing National Park or AONB. This is a major oversight as the northern Howgills contain some of the most beautiful walking country in England and there are ongoing consultations looking into expanding the Yorkshire Dales National Park to cover the entire Howgills.
The Howgills are separated from other high ground by the River Rawthey to the east and River Lune to the north and west. As the Rawthey later flows into the Lune south of Sedbergh all of the water draining from the Howgills finds its way into the Lune meaning the Howgills are to the west of the main Pennine watershed. Unlike the predominantly Carboniferous limestone country to the east the underlying rock of the Howgills is the much older Ordovician and Silurian slates and gritstone.
The effects of glaciation have created an area almost unique in the UK and is characterised by steep sided valleys bounded by smooth grassy slopes and rounded summits. The underlying rock makes very few appearances on the surface, the main exceptions being on Cautley Crag and in the vicinity of Black Force in Carlin Gill. Another is Cautley Spout, perhaps the finest natural feature of the Howgills and often said to be the highest waterfall in England above ground.
There are a number of other aspects to the Howgills that give it a unique feel. Firstly there are the lack of walls and fences. Other than a fence that crosses the range on Calders there are virtually no man made boundaries on the fell tops. This fact combined with open access means the Howgills provide a real sense of freedom. One disadvantage though is that there are also very few landmarks and in poor visibility route finding can be quite tricky especially as many of the valleys and summits have little obvious features to identify them from each other.
This lack of man made features is also noticeable on the summits. Elsewhere in the Pennines windfarms, radar stations, TV masts, monuments, cairns, curricks and trig points can all be found adorning the tops. There are just four trig points in the Howgills (on The Calf, Winder, Middleton and Green Bell). The lack of exposed rock is perhaps responsible for the rather undeveloped state of cairn building. With a few exceptions many summit cairns consist of two or three stones at the most. Indeed locating these stones among the grass can sometimes be something of a challenge.
It is not just walkers who can enjoy the unbounded freedom of the Howgills. These hills are also the home to wild fell ponies. These magnificent animals roam around at will in groups of varying sizes (the largest group I've come across contained at least 25 ponies). While mostly seen at a distance they are so common that it is exceptionally rare to go for a walk in the Howgills without seeing them at all.
North of the Howgills, beyond the River Lune is another upland area that has also somehow not acquired the status of National Park or AONB. Fairly small in extent and without an official title it is sometimes referred to as the Westmorland Limestone Plateau. Despite the name the area now belongs wholly to the modern county of Cumbria.
Bounded by the Lune to the south, the M6 motorway to the west and the Eden valley to the east and north the plateau is, as its name suggests, an isolated pocket of limestone country. In fact it features some of the most substantial examples of limestone pavement outside of the Malham area of the Yorkshire Dales.
The Howgills are without doubt one of my favourite upland areas not just in the Pennines but in the whole of the UK. Walks can be as easy or as hard as you wish to make them and even on an easy route it is possible to visit numerous summits. Positioned as it is between the Lake District to the west and the Yorkshire Dales to the east the Howgills provides excellent views of both in addition to the Cross Fell and Mickle Fell ranges in the North Pennines. I have so far only visited Westmorland's limestone country once but it made a favourable impression on me and I expect to return there in the not too distant future.
