In Memory of: Private Alfred Hitchcock 10868
Regiment: 8th Battalion, Devonshire Regiment (Buller's Own)
Enlisted: Exeter
Died: Killed in Action 1st July 1916
Served: France and Flanders
Remembered with honour: Devonshire Cemetery Mametz, Somme France
Alfred was born in 1895 in East Worlington, the 3rd son and 5th child of Henry and Lucy Hitchcock of Pedlars Cottage.
By 1911 Alfred was living in and working as a horseman for Samuel Hosegood of Cuddenhay, West Worlington. He was 16 years old.
Alfred enlisted in Exeter and the 8th and 9th Battalions of the Devonshire's were engaged in fierce fighting at Mametz on the first day of what was to become known as the Battle of the Somme.
This area was held by German troops until 1st July 1916 when Alfred's Battalion were fighting in Mansel Wood. At the end of the day 141 men had been killed, 55 were missing believed killed and 267 were wounded.
Alfred died alongside Lt William Noel Hodgson, soldier and poet. A total of 153 men were buried in the trench where they fell, a special service was said and someone raised a wooden cross with the words:
The Devonshires held this trench the Devonshires hold it still.
Alfred is buried in Grave B3, he was 21 years old.
Devonshire Cemetery Mametz, Somme, France.
It was at Mametz that the war poet Siegfried Sassoon, of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, made a single handed attack on the enemy trenches on 4 July 1916, as recorded in his memoirs.
The Welsh poet Owen Sheers wrote a poem in 2005 to commemorate the battle in his Skirrid Hill collection:
This morning, twenty men buried in one long grave,
a broken mosaic of bone linked arm in arm,
their skeletons paused mid dance-macabre.
At the end of the first day of the Battle of the Somme over 160 of men of the 9th and 8th Devonshire Regiment were retrieved from where they had fallen in action in No-Mans-Land and the German positions. They were carried back to the British Front Line trench position for the start of the day, and were buried in a section of this trench near a small wood called Mansell Copse.
Two days before going into action on 1st July 1916 with the 9th Devons, Lieutenant William Noel Hodgson wrote a poem called "Before Action". It makes very poignant reading as Lieutenant Hodgson did not survive to see the end of the day. He was killed aged 23 and was one of the Devons' bodies brought in that night from where he fell in action.
Before Action
by Lieutenant William Noel Hodgson, MC, 29th June, 1916
By all the glories of the day
And the cool evening's benison
By that last sunset touch that lay
Upon the hills when day was done,
By beauty lavishly outpoured
And blessings carelessly received,
By all the days that I have lived
Make me a soldier, Lord.
By all of all man's hopes and fears
And all the wonders poets sing,
The laughter of unclouded years,
And every sad and lovely thing;
By the romantic ages stored
With high endeavour that was his,
By all his mad catastrophes
Make me a man, O Lord.
I, that on my familiar hill
Saw with uncomprehending eyes
A hundred of thy sunsets spill
Their fresh and sanguine sacrifice,
Ere the sun swings his noonday sword
Must say good-bye to all of this; –
By all delights that I shall miss,
Help me to die, O Lord.
Lieutenant Noel Hodgson and the men of 9th Devons were to attack the German Front Line at Mametz from thsi position on the British Front Line on 1st July 1916.
Inspiration for the Poem "Before Action"
Lieutenant Noel Hodgson, MC served with the 9th Battalion the Devonshire Regiment and was on the Somme battlefield in
June 1916 preparing for the Battle of the Somme.
The scheduled date for the start of the battle was originally to be August 1916, but had been brought forward to the 29th June, 1916.
Owing to bad weather in the week building up to the battle the date of the attack was postponed at 11.00 hours on 28th June and moved by two days to the morning of 1st July 1916.
It is believed that Noel Hodgson wrote the poem "Before Action" on 29th June.
In the early hours of the morning of Saturday 1st July 1916 William Noel Hodgson was in position with his comrades, anxiously waiting for Zero Hour at 07.30 hours.
Due to the severe damage from German artillery fire the British Front Line trench was unsuitable for the battalion to assemble in ready for the attack, so the men were about 250 yards behind the British Front Line trench.
At Zero Hour the men of 9th Devons advanced from their position behind the Front Line trench, with the 2nd Battalion Border Regiment on their left and the 2ndBattalion the Gordon Highlanders on their right.
The 9th Devons had about 400 yards of No-Mans-Land to cross in the Carnoy valley before they could attempt to break into the German Front Line south of Mametz village. As soon as the first men of the Devons reached No-Mans-Land they were exposed to fire from German machine guns. Many were cut down in No-Mans-Land and the battalion suffered heavy casualties.
Lieutenant Hodgson was Bombing Officer in the attack. He was responsible for keeping the men supplied with grenades during the attack, which would be especially important if they got into the German positions. Within an hour of the attack it is said that Lieutanant Hodgson was killed. He was aged 23. He would never again see a sunset.
In spite of the heavy casualties lost by the battalion the Devons had progressed with their attack and the German-held village of Mametz was captured by the British 7th Division. All but one of the officers of the 9th Devons were killed or wounded. The British Front Line position did, therefore, successfully advance to a new position by the end of the day.
That night Lieutenant Hodgson's body was retrieved and brought back into the British Front Line position, along with over 160 of his comrades. They were buried in the vicinity of a little wood called Mansell Copse which was in the British Front Line trench position at the start of the day.
A ceremony was held at the burial site on 4th July. A wooden cross was put up at the time by the survivors of the 9th and 8th Battalions of the Devonshire Regiment. Carved on the cross were the words: "The Devonshires held this trench, the Devonshires hold it still." The graves were left in this position when the cemeteries were rebuilt after the war. 163 graves are now contained in the cemetery which is named "Devonshire Cemetery".
All but one of the casualties are men of the Devonshire Regiment. Lieutenant Noel Hodgson is buried in Grave reference A. 3.
On 4th July 1916, three days after the first day of the Battle of the Somme, a ceremony was held at the burial site of the 161 Devonshire Regiment men. A wooden cross was put up at the time by the survivors of the 9th and 8th Battalions of the Devonshire Regiment. The following words were carved on the wooden cross: "The Devonshires held this trench, the Devonshires hold it still."
In the 1980s Lieutenant-Colonel Graham Parker was leading a tour of British Army soldiers and officers to the Somme battlefields, some of whom were officers from the Devonshire Regiment.
He told them the story of the wooden cross with its famous motto, and that it was presumed that it had been stolen as it had disappeared after remaining at the entrance to the cemetery for many years after the First World War. The Devonshire Regiment officers decided to do something about this and immediately they returned home they started a collection to pay for a permanent monument to be put in the place of the missing cross.
The stone memorial which now stands at the entrance to the cemetery was placed there soon after.

Suggest a Weird Movie!
The List (and more)
What Was That Weird Movie? (redirect)
Canonically Weird (The List)
116. DAISIES (1966)
June 13, 2012 Gregory J. Smalley (366weirdmovies)	2 Comments
"If there's something you don't like, don't keep to the rules – break them. I'm an enemy of stupidity and simple-mindedness in both men and women and I have rid my living space of these traits."–Vera Chytilová in a 2000 interview with The Guardian
DIRECTED BY: Vera Chytilová
FEATURING: Ivana Karbanová, Jitka Cerhová, Jan Klusák
PLOT: Two doll-like young women in bikinis theorize that because the entire world is becoming spoiled, they will be spoiled too. They set off on a series of anarchic adventures, many of which involve them permitting old men to take them to expensive dinners. Their surreal, sexy excursions are interrupted by Dadaist collages and sudden changes of film stock, and climax in a slapstick pie fight.
Although Daisies is frequently interpreted as a feminist statement, director Vera Chytilová denied that was her intent and preferred to describe the movie as "a philosophical documentary in the form of a farce."
In 1966 film composer Jan Klusák made his acting debut in two films: a small role as the butterfly-collecting beau in Daisies and in the major part of an absurd apparatchik in A Report on the Party and Guests.
Writer Ester Krumbachová co-scripted the screenplays for both Daisies and Report and also designed the sets and costumes for Daisies.
The Czechoslovakian censors banned Daisies in 1967 (at the same meeting in which they banned Jan Nemec's overtly political A Report on the Party and Guests). Chytilová made one more feature in 1969, the equally surreal We Eat the Fruit of the Trees of Paradise, after which she was forbidden to make any more films for six years until she successfully appealed the government ban on her work.
INDELIBLE IMAGE: Marie II (I think; the blond one with the circlet of wildflowers) modestly trying to hide her nudity behind her suitor's butterfly cases is an image that's so highly charged it graces every DVD cover. The picture perfectly encapsulates Daisies' knowingly naughty innocence.
WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: Watching the bright colors and bratty joie de vivre of Marie I and II as
Short clip from Daisies
they slash and burn their way through square society, cutting up phallic symbols and the film stock itself with scissors, it's hard to believe that Daisies wasn't produced under the influence of drugs. Made a year before and half a world away from San Francisco's Summer of Love, this proto-flower power film nonetheless captures the anarchic spirit of Sixties psychedelia; it's a relic from an alternate universe populated by sexy Czech hippy chicks with serious cases of the munchies. Alternately described as a feminist manifesto, a consumerist satire, and a Dadaist collage, it seems that no one—possibly including the director herself—is quite clear on what Daisies is supposed to be about. Does it matter? No, it doesn't.
COMMENTS: Imagine, for a moment, that you're a censor in Communist Czechoslovakia in 1966, and you're assigned the task of reviewing Daisies. The script was approved before production began, but something about the finished product looks… off. Weird. Subversive, dangerous in a way you can't quite put your finger on. It seems oddly like something a long-haired Yankee running-dog capitalist might have dreamed up while listening to "Rubber Soul" and puffing on a doobie. The film features two beautiful young Czech girls remorselessly running mad, drinking, feasting, and taking advantage of men. It's got random tinting, collages of wildflowers and butterflies, and experimental sequences in bright tie-dye colors scored to mock-patriotic music. There is no comprehensible plot. You're supposed to be liberalizing censorship of the arts, but Daisies goes too far, in some way you can't quite put your finger on. You know you'll be drummed out of the party if you can't come up with a reason to ban this surrealist atrocity. What do you do?
Compounding your problem is the fact that its director insists that the film is a satirical morality play, and the audience is expected to feel disgust towards the two comically decadent dolls who get their comeuppance at the end. The script makes clear the twin Maries are explicitly evil; deliberately "spoiled," as they say. Several times in the story they stress that they are unemployed, indolent; they are a recognizable kind of Communist stock villain called the "parasite." They live only to eat, giving nothing to society and draining its resources. Their idleness combined with their consumerist, capitalistic desires lead them to a lifestyle of scamming the establishment, consuming massive amounts of food at lavish spreads paid for by older men to whom they give nothing in return except for a one-way train ticket to parts unknown. They show no ambition greater than landing a bourgeois sugar daddy. After an hour of random leisure, they are stunned when they spy on a farmer watering his field; they literally can't comprehend the value of a hard day's work. They don't understand why neither he nor the workers peddling to their jobs on their bicycles can see them, and they begin to question whether they are really happy being invisible parasites living outside of society. After childishly destroying a banquet in a final burst of immaturity, they end up cast into a lake, vainly trying to tread water, begging for forgiveness from society for their spoiled behavior. Now clad sensibly in newspapers and twine as opposed to the flowered frocks they favored in their childish days, they are allowed to return and clean up their mess to make amends for their parasitism. Perhaps, as the director claims, the film is intended as a pro-socialist indictment of indolent youth and an incitement to workerly virtue. Why then does Daisies feel so subversive?
If Daisies' nods to socialist morality suggest you can't ban it based on its counter-revolutionary politics, perhaps you can get it on obscenity charges. This is 1966, after all, and there's a lot of fulsome female flesh on display here, even if it's covered up by strategically placed butterfly display cases. True, there's no actual sex, but that in itself presents a problem: the Maries are not only non-productive members of society, they're also non-reproductive members of society. They have no use for men and are exclusively involved with each other. The girls dress up in nighties and wrestle, Marie II lightly canes Marie I on the derriere as she looks out a window, they hold hands and pet, and take baths together in milk. At one point, Marie I pokes Marie II lightly in her bare lower abdomen with a fork and says "I don't see any other meat here." Despite the fact that they're only interested in hanging out together, they plow through a succession of men and delight in hinting of sexual adventures they have no intentions of embarking on. In the famous butterfly sequence, it's Marie II who strips for her lepidopterist Lothario of her own accord. She then demurs "I don't know what you're talking about" when he protests his love for his demure nude girl, before asking "isn't there some food around here?" Later, when he calls her on the phone to further declaim his passion, she and Marie I lie there listening in their underwear, giggling and slicing up various sausages, pickles and bananas that they happen to have lying around the flat with a pair of scissors.
If you're a Czechoslovakian censor in 1966 chances are good you're a male, and you might not want to hint at how uncomfortable that scene of the Maries cutting phallic fruit into tiny slices and feeding it to each other makes you feel. So, if you're not going to ban the film on the basis of its politics and you're not going to ax it for sex, what's left? According to legend, at least, the real-life Czech censors came up with an ingenious justification that allowed them to save face without looking at all ridiculous—they banned Daisies for food wastage. If your planned economy isn't bringing in the abundant harvests you hoped for, you don't want moviegoers reminded of how hungry they are by watching two impudent dames rolling around in a bed of apples, casually snipping sausages or ordering a whole chicken as the final entrée of a four course meal. Daisies' climactic food fight was the sour cherry on top of this too-decadent sundae. After the girls have fingered the finger food and pawed the pâté at someone else's banquet, they grab giant handfuls of creamy cake and fling them onto each others' faces, ending their party by stripping to their slips and walking all over the remaining uneaten feast in their high heels in an impromptu fashion show. The movie itself realizes that with this gluttonous display the Maries have gone too far; it uses its magical powers of retribution to plunge the girls into a cold lake after they hang on the chandelier. But the damage has already been done. The edible orgy may be a satirical assault on Western style capitalistic decadence, sure, but girls playing with their food is something too unvirtuous to tolerate.
If she's telling the truth, then Vera Chytilová may have begun filming Daisies with an honest intention of critiquing the nihilism of these youths; but along the way she was seduced by the total artistic freedom she allowed herself. Watching the film today, everyone sides with the Maries rather than despises them. Their gleeful destruction and playful reconstruction of their drab world inspires us. At one point in the film, they cut off each others' arms and heads with scissors; rather than getting upset about it, Maire I crosses her eyes and sticks out her tongue, Marie II bumps her decapitated head up against her longtime companion's, and the two torsos duel with scissors until they've cut the very film we're watching into shards that dance around on the screen independently. The freedom that we respond to in Daisies doesn't actually come from the silly Maries and their vandalism of a banquet; it comes from watching the filmmakers demolish the rules of cinema. That's the unfettered, truly subversive intellectual freedom that the censors sensed and felt compelled to repress. Surrealism, which depends on the free associative play of the mind, implicitly critiques rationalism and order—all order, and therefore specifically whatever order is reigning at the time. The same weapons the avant-garde used in Western Europe to attack capitalism inevitably eviscerated Marxism when used on the other side of the Iron Curtain. (That's one of the reasons Western leftists didn't universally embrace Daisies; Jean-Luc Godard weakly protested that the movie was "apolitical and cartoonish").
In a bit of prescient irony, Chytilová intuited what would get Daisies banned in the film's final dedication. Over footage of bombed out buildings and cued to the sound of gunfire, the following words type themselves out: "this film is dedicated to those who get upset only over a stomped-upon bed of lettuce." Daisies stomped upon enough lettuce to get itself suppressed, but the regime that banned it had a lot more to be upset about.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAY:
"…a pretentiously kookie and laboriously overblown mod farce about two playgirls who are thoroughly emptyheaded."–Bosley Crowther, The New York Times (contemporaneous)
"An exercise in avant-garde cinema that is freshly humorous and accessible, Daisies is a dark comedy that eschews a traditional narrative for a Dadaist construction of events."–Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
"…an amazing explosion of pop-art colours, absurdist humour and proto-feminist politics… a trip, a surreal manifesto, a joy to behold."–Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph (DVD)

DVD INFO: Daisies DVD history follows an almost identical path as its 1966 sister film, A Report on the Party and the Guests. It begins its life on a (now out-of-print) Facets release (buy ). As usual for Facets, the print was unrestored, but this release did contain a pair of fascinating extras in the letter written by the Cultural Commissar of the Czech Communist Party condemning the film and Chytilová's response where she explains (perhaps deceptively) how the movie is in accord with socialist ideas. Years later, Second Run DVD brings the film to the European Region 2 market with a restored print and new special features. Finally, the Criterion Collection snaps up the rights and releases the movie on its Eclipse sub-label as part of the "Pearls of the Czech New Wave" set (buy ), sans supplements (other than a short essay) but alongside other classic films such as fellow Certified Weird selection Party and Guests, the anthology Pearls of the Deep (which includes a surreal bridal segment by Vera Chytilová), Evald Schorm's bleak drama Return of the Prodigal Son, Jirí Menzel's chaste sex comedy Capricious Summer, and Jaromil Jires' astoundingly anti-Communist (and also banned) The Joke.

Emergency stockpile "depleted" as nine cases of yellow fever confirmed in Asuncion.
Mike Ryan, co-ordinator of the WHO's global outbreak alert and response network, said: "At this point, our global emergency stockpile is depleted.
"We are very much on the edge of our ability to supply both emergency campaigns and these preventative mass campaigns.
"It is a rather uncomfortable position for us to be in."
William Perea, the WHO's yellow fever chief, said yellow fever can "spread like a fire in the forest," adding that mosquitoes thrive especially in urban areas with poor hygiene and sanitation.
Perea said many of Latin America's cities have not been exposed to the virus and therefore have not developed any immunity.
In the jungle, where most yellow fever outbreaks occur, people have better defences against the virus.
Antonio Barrios, Paraguay's vice public health minister, said: "At any moment more than one million doses will arrive from France.
"Asuncion is not in any danger of infection," he said.
Authorities said they previously received about one million doses donated by Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and other sources.
But Barrios acknowledged that about 75 per cent of those stocks were used up.
The WHO relies upon three pre-qualified manufacturers of yellow fever vaccine: France's Sanofi-Aventis, Senegal's Institut Pasteur, and Bio-Manguinhos in Brazil.
The current global production capacity is 30-35 million doses, Ryan said.
Ryan said it was important for the vaccines, which cost 60 US cents each, to be replenished quickly and maintained at healthy levels.
"We do need to ensure better security in the number of manufacturers we have and the scale of production available," he said.
Yellow fever is named after the jaundice that affects some of those infected with the viral haemorrhagic disease.
The WHO estimates that 200,000 people catch yellow fever each year, and 30,000 die as a result.


An act now before Congress could ensure the well-being of hundreds of small businesses-and help save consumers money. the Motor Vehicle Owners Right to Repair Act would offer owners greater choice in getting their vehicles serviced.
According to leaders of several national aftermarket associations, passage of the act is critical toward ensuring the affordability and convenience of maintaining vehicles for America's car owners.
"As independent auto repair shop owners, we are all concerned about the future of our businesses," said Pat Andersen, president of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers. "One of the key factors keeping us in the business of repairing cars is access to all of the tools, software and repair information necessary to be able to test and repair all systems on modern automobiles. Passage of the Right to Repair Act will assure that all auto repair facilities and vehicle owners will always have equal access to the tools and repair information necessary to maintain and repair high-tech automobiles."
The Right to Repair Act would require the car companies to make the same service information and tool capabilities available to independent service providers that they make available to their franchised dealer networks. Car company trade secrets are protected unless that information is provided to the franchised new car dealer.
"Our members have been on the front line of this battle, repairing the vehicles, struggling on a daily basis with the repair information and programming question," said Paul Fiore, president of the Service Station Dealers of America. "They now view the bill as critical to their long-term survival and are very excited about the growing support."
Right to repair legislation is supported by a wide range of additional associations including the Alliance of State Automotive Aftermarket Associations, Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association, Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association, Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association, Coalition for Auto Repair Equality and the Tire Industry Association. in addition, the legislation has the support of small-business groups such as the National Federation of Independent Business and consumer groups such as AAA.


Please pardon the lack of makeup, but I wanted to share my most recent Stitch Fix with you all! See, I had a few not so positive boxes lately, which really had started to turn me off of using them. But I for Christmas I got a gift card from a friend and figured that one more box wouldn't hurt. I am VERY glad that I gave them one more chance. I think the stylists are starting to get me again!
Let me back up. The last few boxes that I got I had asked for sweaters. Seeing as I live in New England, it's cold, and I need warmer pieces for my wardrobe, I thought it would be a simple request. What I didn't realize is that there is this huge trend going on where sweaters have huge slits up the side of them. If I wanted my sweater to have a chunk missing out of it, I would cut them up myself. The last two times I got a Stitch Fix box, I asked for sweaters, and I bet you can guess that I received sweaters that had slits up the sides. And when I say slits, I mean the front and back of the sweater didn't connect until at or above my belly button, which means I need to wear a shirt under my sweater to cover the exposed flesh.
It was driving me nuts. All I wanted was a normal sweater. So this time, I made a point to say I wanted sweaters that were intact, no slits, and were comfy. Voila! I got a stylist who actually gave me clothes I would purchase. Ta-da!
I'll admit this one was actually pretty cute. But when it's 30 degrees out and I'm not one to wear a blazer to work anymore, this one had to be sent back. I have no reason to buy sleeveless tops in January.
This is so much more like what I was talking about. No weird slits, just a nice warm sweater. If I had more money I would have added this to the "yes" pile, but the pattern turned me off just enough to say no. Let's face it, I'm still not down to my ideal size so bringing more attention to my body is not what I want to do. Let's accentuate the good stuff, k?
This sweater is soooo comfortable! The moment I put it on I knew I was keeping it. I don't normally wear light blue, but let me tell you, this sweater is amazing. I know the picture isn't the best, but I promise it looks good in person. I paired it with a long gold and brown necklace and it looks amazing! Keeper!
If the sleeves had been a bit longer I would have kept this in a heartbeat. I had no idea I had long arms until this moment. How devastating.
Even though I only kept one thing, I was super pleased. I really loved both the sweaters, so in my mind, this month's stylist did VERY well. If you want to see how your own Stitch Fix styling would go, visit them here (click this link) and answer your personal questionnaire to get started!

I believe that avoiding refined foods is the first step in order to lose weight. They could taste fine, but ready-made foods have got very little nutritional value, making you try to eat more in order to have enough vigor to get through the day. If you're constantly feeding on these foods, transitioning to whole grains and other complex carbohydrates will make you to have more strength while eating less. Good blog post.

CAEN Engineering, Inc is proud to announce a strategic partnership with BridgeSTOR, Inc.
Rio-2 provides backup software the fastest and easiest way to send backup data directly to Amazon S3 or Object Storage using an iSCSI VTL, SMB or NFS protocol.
Carlsbad, CA – February 27, 2017 – BridgeSTOR, LLC, the company making cloud storage accessible, today announced the Rio-2 Cloud Backup Server a hybrid appliance designed for backup, archiving, migrating and tiering of backup data to private or public cloud storage. Rio-2 allows backup software to easily transfer backup data to Cloud Storage via an iSCSI VTL or NAS interface using local disk to store the most active files while accelerating the transfer of data to the cloud with hi-speed background threads greatly reducing the backup window. The Rio-2 VTL interface includes compression and is an ideal solution for migrating existing tapes to Amazon S3 or Glacier by storing tape data as a single object reducing the dependency of legacy tape hardware. As a hybrid appliance files or tapes may seamlessly be restored from local disk or from the cloud without the knowledge of the backup software. Rio-2 may easily be added to the BridgeSTOR Global File system by adding the BridgeSTOR Global View Manager which would allow backup data to be shared between multiple locations. Rio-2 also adds advanced encryption by combining SSL and AES-256-bit encryption guaranteeing backup data is transferred and stored in an encrypted format.
"I believe the Rio-2 is the simplest and easiest way to send backup data or existing tapes to private or public cloud.", says John Matze, CEO, BridgeSTOR, LLC. "The Rio-2 Cloud Server has been designed by engineers with over 40 years of tape and VTL knowledge." The Rio-2 Cloud Server is scheduled to ship on March 19, 2018.
"BridgeSTOR was founded in 2010 by storage industry veterans sharing a common vision – Create a solution that allows the Cloud to be used as normal storage. This vision was solidified after receiving a Request for Product (RFP) from one of the world's largest Media & Entertainment organizations. The RFP called for a global namespace with global file locking, file versioning, intelligent caching and a laundry list of additional enterprise feature sets. The subsequent discussions sparked our imaginations and challenged us to rethink data access all together.

Author Guest Posts, Halloween
13 spooky books, movies and TV shows in time for Halloween
Oct 15 2019 by Romance.com.au writer
Beckoning Blood
by Daniel De Lorne
Binding Blood
Daniel de Lorne, author of the paranormal Bonds of Blood series, dropped by the blog to tell us about his top 13 spooky books, movies and TV shows to celebrate the Halloween season with…
I'm a scaredy-cat, no doubt about it, but despite knowing this I'm still drawn to the dark side (must be all those bad boys…) and occasionally delve into terrifying stories that are sure to keep me from sleeping ever again.
With Halloween upon us, here are my 13 favourite spooky books, movies and TV shows, offering up a mix of the bloody, the scary and the musical.
Something about the self-referential style of the Scream franchise made this easier for me to watch and not run screaming. So many quotable lines and a master class in horror… Beware the blood.
I devoured Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (still do whenever a new one comes out). The earlier novels, like Interview with the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned, are the richest of the lot. (And if we're talking movies, I was totally there for Brad and Tom in the movie adaptation but not so much Antonio whose character was meant to be a 16-year-old Russian redhead…)
I admit I've only seen Haunted House and Asylum all the way through and chickened out midway through Coven (I promise I'll go back to it) but AHS kept me on the edge of my seat with my face buried behind a cushion.
I can't count the number of times I've seen this movie. A cult classic and surprisingly subversive for its era, beware the remake and go straight to the source. It's just a jump to the left…
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irvine
This short story still packs a punch with its incredibly creepy tale of the Headless Horseman and Ichabod Crane. The Johnny Depp version's also great and the Disney version definitely had an impact on me as a kid.
OK, it's not exactly spooky but Buffy brought everything including the creepy. Everyone remember the Gentlemen? Creepiest. Episode. Ever. Most annoying? Whenever Dawn said anything.
Taking the vampires out into the open—but still not into sunlight—True Blood revealed more about the prejudices of humans than the monstrosity of vampires. And that was truly scary. They made up for it with plenty of bare shots of Jason and Eric.
Another musical making light of the dark things in life…like visiting the dentist. Giant alien 'plant' Audrey Two suddenly brings Seymour everything his heart could desire…but he has to pay for it with blood.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.
Controversial opinion but I don't find Wuthering Heights romantic in the slightest but it's a great gothic story and full of the kind of evil manipulation you'd expect from a really good horror (or family drama).
High camp with Jamie Lee Curtis and Nick Jonas. Full of plenty of horror movie clichés but more fun than frightening.
And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Creepy as hell. I read this one night when I was home alone and regretted it. Ten people are drawn to an island off the coast of England and stranded there for a few days. Guests start dying and those left alive hunt for the killer before they're next.
The MTV reboot of the 1980s Michael J Fox movie is packed full of good-looking high school students and a seemingly endless number of werewolves and other things that go bump in the night. The URST between Stiles and Derek was almost too much.
Low on the spooky but high on the eternal battle of good versus evil, Lucifer follows the Devil's new life as a club owner and 'civilian consultant' to the LAPD. The mythical elements are definitely more interesting than the police procedural side of things but it's a light-hearted romp with the Angel of Light.
Daniel De Lorne
Ruin. Romance. Redemption. That's the magic trifecta Daniel de Lorne promises readers of his books. Whether it's irresistible vampires, paranormal paramours, or hot everyday men, Daniel's books go for the heart. And the stomach. And the spleen (just for good measure).
In his other life, Daniel is a professional writer and researcher in Perth, Australia, with a love of history and nature. All of which makes for great story fodder. And when he's not working, he and his husband explore as much of this amazing world as they can, from the ruins of Welsh abbeys to trekking famous routes and swimming with whales.

Q: Exception capturing and Error logging I have got a utility class, called ErrorLog, which basically does some basic error logging kinda stuff, recording error messages, stacktraces, etc.
So in my main c# app, I almost always chuck this piece of code, ErrorLog el = new ErrorLog()  into the catch(Exception e) part, and then start calling its methods to do logging.
For example, here is 1 of the methods in ErrorLog class
public void logErrorTraceToFile(string fname, string errorMsg, string errorStackTrace)
{
    //code here
}

Anyway, I am just wondering if it's a good approach to log errors in this way? It seems to me that this solution is a bit clumsy. (considering in each catch block you create el object and call its method, repeatedly.)
Also, in terms of storing error log files, where it the best / most reasonable location to save them? Currently, I just hard-coded the directory, C:\ErrorLogs\, as I am still testing a few things. But I do want to get it right before I forget.
So any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.

A: Look at  ELMAH  This is very efficient in handling and catching errors in the application.
The errors get logged in the database.

A: Usually I'm using the Singleton pattern to have one application wide Logger.
public class Logger
{
    protected static Logger _logger;

    protected Logger()
    {
        // init
    }

    public void Log(string message)
    {
        // log
    }

    public static Logger GetLogger()
    {
        return _logger ?? _logger = new Logger();
    }
}

As a place to store data I would use the application data or user data directory, only there you can be sure to have write access.
Edit: That's how you would use the Logger from any place in your code:
Logger.GetLogger().Log("test");

Honoring a fix-it man's satisfaction with a job well done.
Whoever told me about Ron Frye years ago did me a great favor. If he reads this, I hope he'll accept it as my thanks.
There are people who seem to be able to fix anything. Ron was one of them. They're admirable because they can do so many things so many of us can't. I have nothing to back this up, but I fear they're getting harder to find.
Armed with a tape measure, his pencil, and a note pad, he arrived to assess the situation, and by the time he left, he had the solution in his head. He came back a few days later with a wooden platform build to support a large land animal. Together we moved the appliances out of the laundry, hefted the platform in place, and wrestled the washer and dryer on top of it.
Then the little ritual that became familiar: He'd hand me a bill he'd written by hand on a scrap of paper, itemizing materials and labor, and I'd say, "Ron, you're not charging enough." And he'd dispute that. As he took my check, we'd shake hands and he'd say, "Now you and the wife have a good day there, Brother Rob," and we wouldn't see him again until I had some other household job beyond my meager abilities.
We can all count hundreds of people who come into our lives and remain for a while, then pass on without our knowing much about them — our mail carriers, the baristas who prepare our coffees, the people who deliver our morning papers, sell us popcorn at the movies, maybe even some relatives. So I was grateful to learn more about Ron in this paper two days ago. He came from Chattanooga, served in the Navy with his twin brother, and moved to Kitsap 47 years ago.
I wouldn't have known he played softball or was a bowler, but knowing that now, I wasn't surprised to read that through those activities and others, he made many friends, including his teammates and his opponents. I would have guessed he was a religious man but didn't know it until I read his obituary. I couldn't have known he had such a large extended family.
Our relationship was a business relationship, but with his cordiality, his earnestness, and good humor, it always seemed more than that. We never sat down over a cup of coffee and learned more about each other, never talked about our backgrounds, his work, or how he learned his many skills. I never met any of his family except his wife Cheryl, when the three of us crossed paths in a doctor's waiting room.
It was late last year that he came to deliver the platform for our washer and dryer. It was important to him that he could make life easier for my wife.
Long ago, "gentleman" was reserved for a man of high rank, a formal man in expensive clothes whom we might have addressed as "Sir." But Ron was a gentleman of the best kind, gentle, courteous, honest, thoughtful, and – I think – appreciative of what he had.
Goodbye, Ron. I think you know your way from here.

For electric vehicles, the grid, and applications such as sensors, industry seeks lower-cost, higher-performance batteries with greater reliability and safety than those available in today's market. To address this need, PNNL plays a key role in developing new materials and processes that are resulting in improvements to lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries, redox flow batteries, and other battery chemistries.
PNNL's extensive energy storage research and development supports the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity (OE), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office, and Office of Science. Our researchers apply expertise to optimize performance of new materials, scale-up new materials and processes, validate performance by building prototypes at industry-relevant scales and then test them under realistic operating conditions.
In collaboration with universities, industry, utilities, and other national laboratories, our research and development efforts have resulted in more than 54 U.S. patents and 24 commercial licenses for energy storage technologies as of 2021.
Energy storage for the grid
Stationary energy storage systems help decarbonize the power grid and make it more resilient. Technologies that can store energy as it's produced, and release it just when it's needed, support the delicate balance of the power grid. They're especially useful for storing electricity from renewable sources like solar and wind, helping to integrate more carbon-free power into the mix.

PNNL researchers are making grid-scale storage advancements on several fronts. Yes, our experts are working at the fundamental science level to find better, less expensive materials—for electrolytes, anodes, and electrodes. Then we test and optimize them in energy storage device prototypes.

PNNL energy storage scientists engage regularly with our power grid researchers. They publish frequently in peer-reviewed journals to push the state-of-the-art in energy storage. A key advancement by PNNL is the development of improved and lower-cost vanadium electrolytes for redox flow batteries. Several additional chemistry innovations have increased the energy density of these grid-scale batteries by 70 percent and temperature stability by 80 percent. These technologies have been licensed to industry, culminating in a 2013 FLC Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer.
Supported largely by DOE's OE Energy Storage Program, PNNL researchers are developing novel materials in not only flow batteries, but sodium, zinc, lead-acid, and flywheel storage systems that are boosting performance, safety, and reliability of grid scale storage.
With PNNL's research and development facilities, researchers are able to scale-up promising electrode and electrolyte materials and help tackle the challenges in manufacturing these next-generation grid-scale batteries to support DOE's Energy Storage Grand Challenge.
Batteries for transportation
Next-generation, high-energy rechargeable lithium-metal batteries are often considered the "holy grail" of batteries for electric vehicles. PNNL energy storage experts are leading the charge for this quest on behalf of DOE's Battery500 Consortium. PNNL is leading the Battery500 Consortium, which consists of four national labs and five universities. In addition, there are 10 seedling projects across the country to support the consortium.
By implementing the innovations developed under the Battery500 Consortium, a record of 600 stable cycles has been demonstrated in a prototype 350-Wh/kg lithium-metal pouch cell. The consortium has also developed a 400-Wh/kg lithium-metal pouch cell and now is pushing toward 500Wh/kg.

Patents derived from the consortium in the past four years have already been licensed to large domestic companies. Researchers in the consortium also developed Li-Batt Design App to help battery developers and researchers easily and rapidly design lithium-metal-based pouch cells. In its first year, the software generated four revenue-bearing licenses and one government-use agreement, with many more entities evaluating the software and considering a site license.
As part of another DOE collaboration, the Silicon Consortium Project, our teams are using specialized PNNL characterization capabilities to examine the interfacial reactions on anodes made from silicon. The research is helping to understand why silicon-based lithium-ion batteries have short life spans. PNNL is supporting other organizations to enhance the calendar life of silicon-based lithium-ion batteries.
For vehicles propelled by hydrogen fuel cells, the PNNL energy storage team is developing new catalysts not made from more costly platinum group metals—which can account for half the cost of the fuel cell.
Sensor applications
PNNL is using new materials and cell designs to develop improved batteries that meet targeted performance metrics for sensor applications. Our teams are developing and deploying state-of-the-art micro-batteries for miniaturized sensors, producing up to 1,000 units every year.
To address manufacturing challenges for advanced battery materials and devices, our PNNL energy storage experts are engaging in public-private partnerships with entities ranging from major corporations to prestigious universities, with a focus on de-risking, scaling, and accelerating adoption of new technologies.
Supporting these partnerships is PNNL's Advanced Battery Facility, which bridges the gap between fundamental battery research and commercial-scale battery development. The facility allows our energy storage experts to explore a broad range of chemistries and materials at a commercially relevant scale. All materials and new concepts will be validated in realistic battery systems.
