"DESKAND DEBIT" is the third of "THE UPWARDAND ONWARD SERIES," in which Phil Farringford appears as a clerk. The principal events of the story are located in Chicago and on Lake Michigan—the latter, perhaps, because the author finds it quite impossible to write a story w ithout a boat, which also involves the necessity of a broad sheet of water, or a long river. In this, as in its predecessors, evil-minded characters are introd uced, to show the contrast between vice and virtue; but the hero, in whom the sympathies of the reader are supposed to be centred, is still faithful to his Christian duties, still reads his Bible, and "prays without ceasing."
Young and old are injured only by the precept and example of those whom they love, respect, or admire; and the writer has no fear that his readers will love, respect, or admire Charles Whippleton or Ben Waterford, or that they will fail to condemn their errors and their vices. The author hopes and expects that his young friends, while they follow P hil in his exciting experience in the counting-room, and in the "Marian" on Lake Michigan, will love and respect his virtues as well as his courage and resolution.

CHAPTER I.
IN WHICH PHIL HAS A TALK WITH HIS FATHER, AND REVIEWS HIS PAST HISTORY.
"I must go to Chicago, father," said I, one evening , after we had been discussing our domestic relations with more than usual earnestness.
"Whygo to Chicago, Philip? Whatput that idea intoyour head?" replied my
"WhygotoChicago,Philip?Whatputthatideaintoyourhead?"repliedmy father, with a kind of deprecatory smile.
"I don't feel as though I could live any longer in this state of doubt and uncertainty."
"Really, Philip, I don't think you need worry yourself to that extent."
"I can't help it. I want to know whether my mother is alive or dead. She may have been in her grave for a year for aught we know."
"Not so bad as that, Philip. I am sure if anything had happened to her, we should have heard of it," added my father, mildly; but I saw that he had more feeling on the subject than he chose to manifest.
"It seems to me inhuman and unnatural to live in th is way," I persisted, perhaps a little more impatiently than I ought to have spoken.
"It is all my fault, my son," said my father, meekly.
"I don't think so."
"Don't compel me to review the bitter experience of the past. You know it all."
"I don't mean to blame you, father."
"Certainly it is not your mother's fault that an ocean rolls between her and me."
"I am willing to allow that it is your fault, and mine too, in a sense different from what you meant, that our family is still separated."
I perceived that my father was considerably affected by what I had said; and as he relapsed into silence, apparently to give vent to the emotions which disturbed him, I did not press the subject any further at that moment. But I felt all that I had said, and I thought something ought to be done. I was thoroughly in earnest, and I felt that it would be my fault if our little family continued to be separated for a much longer period.
I was nearly sixteen years old; and into that brief space had been crowded a strange and varied experience. In order that my readers may know precisely my relations to the rest of the world, and understand why I was so deeply moved, I must briefly review the events of my life. I was born in the city of St. Louis, though this was a fact which had been patent to me only a couple of years. I had attained unto that worldly wisdom which enabled me to know who my father was; but I was less fortunate in regard to my mother, whom I could not remember that I had ever seen, though it was a comfort for me to know that my baby eyes had gazed into her loving face.
In the burning of the steamer Farringford, on the upper Missouri, in which my father and mother and myself—then a child two ye ars old—were passengers, I had been committed to a raft formed of a state-room door, and bolstered with pillows to keep me from rolling off. By an accident this frail craft was carried away from the burning steamer, then aground, and I was separated from my father, who, I grieve to say, was intoxicated at the time, and unable to do all that he would have accomplished in his sober senses. At this moment the steamer broke from the shore, and was carried swiftly down the mighty river. Parents were thus separated from the helpless child.
But it was not ordered that this little one should perish in the cold waters of the great river in the night and the gloom. An old pioneer, trapper, and hunter, Matt Rockwood, had picked me up, and for years had nursed me and cared for me in his rude log cabin, loving me devotedly, and watching over me with a woman's tenderness. For eleven years I remained in the field and forest, hardened by the rude life of the pioneer, working hard, and winning a large experience in dealing with the elements around me. A well-educated and refined gentleman, driven from the haunts of civilization by a fancied wrong, became our neighbor, and was my instructor, so that I obtained more than a common school education from him. By the seeming guidings of Providence, his wife and daughter were sent to him in the wilderness, and remained there through the season.
My foster-father was killed in an affray with the Indians. Boy as I was, I went through a brief campaign with the savages, and my own rifle had more than once brought down the treacherous foe. I had faced danger and death, and I had rescued the daughter of my excellent friend a nd instructor, Mr. Gracewood, from the Indians. Ella was then, and is now, one of my best friends. In the autumn, leaving the farm and stock to Kit Cruncher, an old hunter who had been our friend and neighbor for yea rs, I started for the realms of civilization with Mr. Gracewood and his family, taking with me the articles found upon me by the old pioneer when I wa s rescued from the river.
I had fifteen hundred dollars in cash, after I had paid my fare to St. Louis —the worldly wealth of my deceased foster-father. On the way down I was separated from my friends by an accident, and did not see them again for several weeks. But I found a place in the city to learn the carpenter's trade, in which I had already made considerable proficiency. I received six dollars a week for my work when it was found that I was both able and willing to do nearly as much as an ordinary journeyman.
By a succession of rather singular incidents, I discovered that a dissolute, drunken man about town was my father—which I regarded at the time as the greatest mishap that could possibly befall me. But I took him to my boarding-house, where good—I might even say blessed—Mrs. Greenough took care of him, giving to his body the nursing he needed, and to his spiritual wants the gospel of Jesus Christ. What my poor father, who had become the moral and physical wreck of what he had been before, could not do of his own strength, he did with the grace and by the help of God —he abandoned his cups, and became a sober, moral, and religious man. He attended every service at the Methodist church, into whose fold Mrs. Greenough had led him, and where, for two years, he had been a faithful, consistent, and useful member.
He was employed as the agent of a very wealthy southern planter, who had large possessions in St. Louis. He had the care of property worth hundreds of thousands, and received and disbursed large sums in rents, repairs, and building. He had a salary of twenty-four hundred dollars a year, more than half of which he saved, for we continued to live at the humble abode of Mrs. Greenough after the dawn of our prosperity. I had s aved nearly all my wages, and at the opening of my story I was worth, in my own right, about two thousand dollars, with which, however, I did not purpose to meddle.
Through all my mishaps I had reached the flood tide ofprosperity. There
ThroughallmymishapsIhadreachedthefloodtideofprosperity.There was only one thing in the wide world that disturbed me; and that, at last, almost became a burden to me. I had a mother whom I had never seen within my remembrance. She was a beautiful woman, as her miniature in my possession fully testified, as well as those who had known her. Mr. Collingsby, her father, had three children, of whom my mother was the youngest. He was a wealthy man, and formerly a resident of St. Louis, from which he had removed, partly on account of his business, and partly it was said, to avoid the importunities of my father, who made himself very disagreeable in his inebriation. He was largely eng aged in railroad and other business enterprises. My mother was travelling in Europe, with her brother, and was not expected to return for several years.
That which had become a burden to me was the desire to see my mother, with the added longing to have our little family reunited. There was no good reason why we should longer be separated. My father was a steady, industrious, Christian man, who had repented in sackcloth and ashes the errors of his lifetime. He had written to Mr. Collingsby several times, but no notice had ever been taken of his appeals. In vain he assured the father of his injured wife that he was an altered man; that h e drank no liquor or anything that could intoxicate; that he was a member in good standing of the Methodist church, and that he was receiving a h andsome salary. Equally vain was the appeal for his son, whose existence seemed to be doubted, and was practically denied.
My mother, being beyond the ocean, could not be a party to this cold and inhuman silence, as it seemed to me. We were assured by those who had seen my grandfather that he was aware of the facts that were known to our friends in St. Louis. Mr. Lamar, whose acquaintance I had made in the midst of my mishaps, had seen Mr. Collingsby, and told him the whole story. The rich man laughed at it, and declared that it was a trick; that, if he was a poor man, Farringford would not trouble him. After this revelation my father refused to write again. He was sorely grieved and troubled, but he still had a sense of self-respect which would not permit him to grovel in the dust before any man.
I had worked at my trade two years in St. Louis, an d considered myself competent to do all ordinary work in that line. But I worked very hard, for I was ambitious to do as much as a man. I was growing , and while I increased in height, I lost flesh, and was lighter in weight than when I had left the field and forest. My father thought I was working too hard, and Mrs. Greenough seconded the argument with all the force of a woman's influence. Still I think I should not have given up my trade then if my employer had not changed his business, thus compelling me to seek a new situation. I had been studying book-keeping for two years, using all my evenings in this and other studies. I practised it with my father, who was an accomplished accountant, until he declared that I w as competent to keep any set of books, either of a merchant or a corporation.
Mr. Clinch, my late employer, closed up his affairs at the opening of a new year. I could find nothing to do in the winter; but when I fretted over my inactivity, my father told me to improve my handwri ting, which, as a carpenter, had been rather stiff. I took lessons of him, and as he was a practical business man, I escaped the vicious habit of flourishing in my writing. He insisted that I should write a plain, simple, round hand, which I did. As my fingers became limber, I made excellentprogress, and I was
did.Asmyfingersbecamelimber,Imadeexcellentprogress,andIwas really proud of my penmanship.
These comparatively idle days were full of thought, almost all of which related to my mother. I had made up my mind that something ought to be done to find her, and inform her of the altered cir cumstances of her husband. I was sure, after reading so often the gentle expression of her countenance in the picture I had, that she would make us glad as soon as she was assured of the reformation of the wanderer. I meant to do something now, even if I had to spend my two thousand dollars in making a voyage to Europe to search for her. Her father refused to do anything, and it was necessary for us to act in our own behalf. It w as not the rich man's money, as he averred, that we sought, but only the calm bliss of domestic happiness, which I knew would come from our reunited family.
CHAPTER II.
IN WHICH PHIL STARTS FOR CHICAGO, AND HEARS A FAMILIAR NAME.
My father was gloomy and sad, and I disliked to say anything more on the painful topic; but I was so thoroughly in earnest that I could not postpone some decided action. It seemed criminal to permit such a matter to rest any longer, and I wondered how I had been able to keep quiet two years with the consciousness that I had a mother whom I had seen only with my baby eyes. Something seemed to reproach me for my coldne ss and neglect, though in fact I had done all I could to solve the difficulty. My grandfather appeared to be suspicious, and even heartless; but I knew that my mother was not so.
Far away she was wandering in foreign lands, and though surrounded by the gayest of friends, and surfeited in luxury, I could not help thinking that now and then, in the still watches of the night; her motherly heart recurred to the little one she had lost. What a joy it would be to her to know that her son, her lost one, was still alive! If in her maternal heart she had ever pictured that babe as becoming a stalwart young man, I felt that I could already realize her hope. If she had ever anticipated the time when her first-born, as his beard began to grow, would lavish upon her all the tenderness which a mother has a right to claim, I felt that I could amply reward her desire, and realize her ambition.
My father was silent. I knew he was considering what more he could do to gratify the longings of my soul. Perhaps he was weighing my proposition to go to Chicago, and speak for myself and for him. I could not say that my plan was the best, or that any good would come of i t; and I mentioned it because I could think of nothing else that looked l ike decided action. I glanced at him, and he saw that I was desirous of resuming the topic.
"Philip, it is my fault that I am separated from your mother, and your words sound like so many reproaches to me," said he, with emotion. "But I deserve it all, for though I feel that God has forgiven me, he will not spare
deserveitall,forthoughIfeelthatGodhasforgivenme,hewillnotspare me from all the consequences of my folly and sin."
"Do not say that, father. Far be it from me to utter a reproach for anything you have done," I replied, disturbed by his words and his manner. "Let the past go—'let the dead bury their dead.'"
"But the dead will not bury their dead, Philip. Your mother left me when she could no longer live with me. I do not blame her. It was my fault alone."
"I only wish to let my mother know what has happened; that you are now a good and true man. I am sure, if she knew this, she would hasten to us without a single day's delay."
"Of course she is under the influence of her father and her brothers. I do not even know where she is. If I did I would write to her. She will return one of these days, and then I will try to see her."
"It may be years before she returns, father. They say it will be three years at least."
"What can we do?"
"I will go to Chicago."
"What good can that possibly do? Will you force yourself into the presence of your grandfather, and then tell him that you are the son of his daughter? He would not believe you; he would kick you out of his house."
"I shall not be rash or indiscreet."
"But what will you do? What can you do?" demanded my father, earnestly.
"I don't know; that will depend upon circumstances. In spite of my mishaps, fortune has favored me in the long run," I replied; but I had no plan whatever for my future action.
"You do not know your grandfather."
"I never even saw him."
"He is not a bad man, by any means; on the contrary, he is upright and liberal. But he is eminently solid and practical. H e is old-fashioned, full of dignity and self-respect. He believes that the worl d and all the affairs of mankind move in deep-worn ruts. He follows only leg itimate and recognized channels. He rejects anything that is strange and out of the common course, and for that reason your story would find no favor with him. I doubt whether he ever read a novel in his life. If you should take all the public officers in St. Louis to Chicago with you, and let them swear in court that you were the long-lost son of Edward and Louise Farringford, he would not believe them. He may be convinced, but not by anything you can say or do."
"Nevertheless, father, I wish to go to Chicago. I have seen but little of the world, and I have heard a great deal about that city."
"I have no objection to your going to Chicago—not the least; but I hope you will not flatter yourself that you can produce an impression upon the mind of Mr. Collingsby, or his son Richard, who is as near like his father as one pea is like anotherpea. I should even like to haveytwo or threeou travel for

City Drinks- An Evening in Shaughnessy with Maestro Bramwell Tovey
Vancouver Heritage Foundation
Vancouver Heritage Foundation is a registered charity supporting the conservation of heritage buildings and structures in recognition of their contribution to the city's economy, sustainability and culture.
Martin Knowles Photo/Media
FRIDAY OCTOBER 2ND, 7PM – 10PM
If you've always wanted to spend some time in a heritage mansion, why not support Vancouver Heritage Foundation by attending our City Drinks fundraiser in an elegant gathering in Shaughnessy. Join us for an exclusive evening at Disher House, an impressive 1912 Shaughnessy home recently featured in Homes & Living magazine and on the 2012 Heritage House Tour. Built for John Binns Johnson, local financier, it is one of the only homes in Vancouver to be attributed to Architect Paul Phipps (1880-1953). "A talented British-trained architect who was briefly active in Victoria and Vancouver, Phipps was born in New York City but attended Eton College, Windsor and Balliol College, Oxford. He articled with Sir Edwin Lutyens, the leading Edwardian architect in England at the turn of the century, spending three years in his office from 1901 to 1904. Phipps began his own practice in London in 1904, and arrived in Canada in early 1911, residing in Victoria, BC. Phipps left Canada in 1913 or 1914, and served overseas during WWI, then returned to England, working in the firm Milne & Phipps beginning in 1919." (Don Luxton, Building the West: The Early Architects of BC, 2007).
Savour the details of the Disher House (named after the family who lived there from 1916-1972) with intricate plaster work and original woodwork throughout. Imagine Vancouver 100 years ago, in this stunning setting and enjoy wine, hors d'oeuvres, music and a silent auction of items from local donors. You'll also hear from the homeowner about the history of the house and be able to chat with other heritage supporters.
We are also excited to announced that we are welcoming a special guest, Maestro Bramwell Tovey, conductor, composer, and Music Director of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra since 2000, will share his time and talent with a brief piano performance during the evening. "Tovey, who moved in 1989 from England to Winnipeg – where he created the New Music Festival – is also the founding host and conductor of the New York Philharmonic's annual Summertime Classics festival at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center; and the Los Angeles Philharmonic's principal guest conductor at the Hollywood Bowl, where he leads the summer classical subscription series. He has worked with many other orchestras as a guest conductor. He was named to the Order of Canada, and inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame (in 2013)." (Vancouver Sun, November 29, 2013).
You and a small group of heritage enthusiasts will be able to mingle in the living hall, parlour, dining room, billiards room, kitchen and library (and if weather permits, the terrace). The rooms are furnished to emphasize different styles from the early decades of the home with antiques chosen carefully for both thematic accuracy and beauty.
Space is limited and all proceeds support VHF's educational programming.

This special evening is made possible with support from: Secret Garden Tea Company, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards, Vancouver musicians James Danderfer and Miles Black, and local businesses who have generously donated to the silent auction. VHF is particularly grateful to the owners of this remarkable home for hosting us.

Sail for Gold roadshow hits the waters

Royal Yachting Association to visit venues across the UK
To celebrate the 2016 Olympic Games the Royal Yachting Association will be hitting the road during the Games sailing medal race week with their RYA Sail for Gold Roadshow.
Launched in June at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) by members of the British Sailing Team, the Roadshow will visit venues across the UK which have a special connection to our Olympic medal contenders, landing at Grafham Water Sailing Club on August 16.
At the event visitors can discover what it's like to go sailing or windsurfing with free taster sessions, or watch the drama unfold in Rio with medal races shown on big screens and cheer on local sailing heroes.
It doesn't matter if you've never stepped in a boat or on a windsurfer before, visitors can get afloat and sample the freedom and exhilaration of a fantastic outdoor sport at the friendly club.
The sessions will be led by qualified instructors supported by club members who will be on hand to take you afloat.
The club will provide all of the equipment and information you need and give you a superb introduction to sailing and windsurfing. Buoyancy aids will be provided, but visitors should bring their own soft shoes and a change of clothes.
Alongside the taster sessions, all visitors and club members will have the opportunity to meet members of the British Sailing Team, with inside knowledge on all the action in Rio as well as advice on how you can get into sailing and maybe start your own Olympic journey.
Some of these team members will give a masterclass from 12-4pm with tips and techniques for sailing catamarans and Finn dinghies.
If you sail a cat or a Finn, you're welcome to bring your boat along (no charge), but let organisers know in advance if you're coming along, by emailing peter@saxtons.me.
Visitors can enjoy refreshments and learn more about the sport before watching the Finn and Nacra 17 medal races on the big screen sin the top floor of the clubhouse from 5pm.
With Ben Saxton (current club member) competing in the Nacra 17 Class and Giles Scott (past club member) competing in the Finn Class there will hopefully be a chance to see the local heroes go for gold.
Both spent their formative sailing years at the club, with Saxton competing there last month in the Anglian Water Grafham Water 50th celebrations and staying to show the way around from the front of a Flying Fifteen in the Wednesday evening racing.
"The Roadshow is a fantastic way to bring all the excitement of the Games into our home clubs and it will mean so much when we're out in Rio to know everyone will be at home supporting us," said Olympic silver medalist Saskia Clark.
"It will also be great to see the Games inspiring people to get on the water and have a go for themselves."
RYA Sport Development Manager Duncan Truswell added: "We're delighted to be able to support our athletes as they go for gold in Rio.
"Each of these events will be a fantastic opportunity for locals to come down and get afloat during what will be a fantastic summer of sailing and find out why sailing can be so much fun at all levels.
"We'd like to thank each of the sailing venues that have played significant roles during the sailors' journeys and have helped make these events possible. We hope to see everybody turn out to cheer our sailors home."

Buying a house is always a dream of everyone. And with the easy availability of home loans the youngsters are buying their dream house the very moment when they get a job. But, for the first time buyer, the dilemma appears when they started thinking how many rooms house would be better -1 BHK, 2 BHK or 3 BHK.
The well known real estate company like Alliance; answer this question by making more numbers of 2 BHK flats for sale than 1 BHK or 3 BHK. So, you can assume that if the supply is provided more, then it is only because of the high demand.
Let's quickly get into the following reasons why in India, most of the people prefer to invest in 2 BHK flat other than 3 BHK.
As said earlier, if you find any multi storey gated community apartments in Chennai, there will be mostly 2 BHK apartments in it. So, the time spend in searching is comparatively lesser when compared with studio apartment or 3/4 BHK apartment. Once you are sure with your location and budget, search for the flats for sale nearby definitely you will get many 2 BHK options to look for.
Yes, it is true that if you are a bachelor now or even if you are a newlywed couple then a 1BHK flat would be fine for you. But having an extra room can be a security for your future kids. Till then you can use it for other purposes.
As the demands are quite high, the resale value is always greater than invested. The percentage of profit is obviously depends upon the location and demand of the area, but getting a profit is for sure.
The main reason for going for 1 BHK is the less cost, but trust me that cost spend there, will be more useful than a future regrets. There are many builders who are making affordable houses for the clients to attract them. You can buy these houses or choose from an outskirt area where the houses are cheaper.
The buying a house is a lifetime investment. Usually we do by taking a loan and paying the EMI on a monthly basis. If you are going for a 2 BHK instead of 1 BHK, it won't affect you much on the monthly installment basis as you are not paying the whole amount at once.
Even if you do not want to sell your property you can just keep it in rent to get extra income. The opportunity of finding a tenant for a 2 BHK is easy. And the return on investment is also very high.
The size of a 2BHK flat varies from building to building. Even if the size of your 2BHK is equal to the 1 BHK of some other building still, the extra wall in between will do a lot for you. You can use of that space by making it any other room like home office, guest room, study room, etc.
The size of the apartment and the amenities offered defines the maintenance cost of the house. Hence, 2 BHK flat will provide sufficient space for your living with the comparatively lower maintenance cost than 3 BHK.
The documentation for a 2 BHK flat is almost similar to 3 BHK or 1 BHK. So, you will not find it very difficult even if you change your mind. But if you already bought a 1 BHK flat, then to buy a 2 BHK flat in order to increase your space will take the same procedure.

I am looking at the Bar100 pressure sensor.
The sensor seems to come with no particular protection on the sensing diaphragm. Keller's safe handling instruction indicate to not touch this side of the sensor. What is your experience with this please? Is there any requirements to add a different protection, such as something like this below with just a small hole for pressure port?
You are correct that the sensor face is sensitive to contact. We ship the sensors with a plastic cover that is intended to protect the sensor while not in use. If there is a reasonable chance that the sensor will come into contact with a hard or sharp object while in use, you might want to add some protection. While we haven't tried it, it might work to punch a few small holes in the protective storage cap and leave it in place during deployment.
I haven't heard of any customers reporting this kind of damage, but I'll make an engineering note that we should look into better protecting the face on the next revision.


I am often involved in tenders for new pieces of software development work. I frequently come across tender documents full of questions that scream 'we are expecting to use a COTS product for this system!!' even though ostensibly the process allows (sometimes explicitly) for the possibility of a bespoke system. I often find it necessary to explain the pros and cons of the two approaches, both of which are perfectly valid in the right circumstances.
By a COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) product I mean a system that already exists and delivers a common set of functions, usually for a particular business domain, with the ability to be customised, configured or extended to suit each client. For example, many companies use SalesForce for customer relationship management, or Xero for accounting.
In the middle there is a slightly grey area in which products form a customisable platform on which to write bespoke software. For example, Microsoft SharePoint or Microsoft Dynamics CRM, both of which can be used to develop many types of system faster than a pure bespoke development by providing core functionality 'out of the box'. I'm going to ignore this possibility in the interests of brevity in this post, but if anything I would consider this a form of bespoke development rather than a product-based implementation method.
So when would I recommend each approach? Inevitably there is no simple rule to this, but I do encourage you to think long term about it. Below are a couple of examples of factors that you may want to consider if you are faced with this decision. Everyone will have different factors that they care about, but the important thing to understand is that the decision can change as a result of considering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the final solution. This means not just the initial investment but the ongoing operating costs such as the cost of support, the ease (or difficulty) of making changes, the business benefits that the solution will provide (and how soon you can realise them), and myriad others.
With anything other than minor customisations, over time COTS products are likely to increase in cost relative to bespoke solutions, as they are harder to change. Also, many of the benefits of COTS products can be lost or reduced in value. For example, a heavily customised implementation of a product will be harder to upgrade when a new version of the core product is released; support will be likely to be provided for the core product only, meaning that your customisations will effectively be unsupported; and your ability to influence the functionality of the product will be lessened once the vendor knows you are tied in.
Conclusion? Simple really. COTS products absolutely have their place and are worth considering. But consider carefully how closely they fit your business before committing to one. If it's a square peg with its corners sanded off to fit a round hole, how long before the gaps start to show?

Q: Reliable way to run code against Entities just Inserted with ObjectContext? I have some code that needs to run every time an Entity is Inserted into my database, the problem is that this code requires the Entity PrimaryKey.
I have found that I can get the Entities from the ObjectStateManager with EntityState.Unchanged and that is my object after Insert, but I am not sure if that will always be the only objects with "Unchanged" as their EntityState in the ObjectContext.
Is there a reliable way to run code only against objects that have JUST been Inserted with ObjectContext?

A: Yes there is a way. You must call overloaded SaveChanges which will not accept changes after saving automatically and instead you will be responsible for calling AcceptAllChanges. In this scenario objects will be still in Added state after calling SaveChanges (but only till you call AcceptAllChanges). The general code should look like:
using (var scope = new TransactionScope(...))
{
    context.SaveChanges(SaveOptions.DetectChangesBeforeSave);

    // Run your code here

    context.AcceptAllChanges();
    scope.Complete();
}

Transaction scope is not necessary - it is just example of the approach if you post insert code must run in the transaction with insertion.
You can also wrap that code into overriden SaveChanges so you will have it in centralized place.

Last Thursday (2nd August) i was invited to a wonderful event held by PharmaMT who import Essence & Catrice Cosmetics. Catrice is still very new here in Malta and is only a couple months old.
The event was amazing, i got to meet some new faces who i have never met in person and i was a virgin to trying out catrice cosmetics so i was super excited to be able to read through the booklets she gave us as we went through each and every new product for this fall 2012.
The atmosphere felt amazing, we had some products over the table so whilst we went through the products we could swatch and try them out for ourselves and give our take on the product as well as some of the collections around the room.
We were all kindly given two bags one of catrice and one of essence with a couple of goodies to try out which are new products for this fall, so be sure to catch the new products on my blog very soon as i have been testing and trying out some products already!
I would like to give a shout out to all my fellow bloggers who attended the event so go ahead and follow these lovely bloggers, i am sure you'll love them as much as i do.
A little side note, after this whole event, all Lara & I were craving were the yummy Macaroons like you all know. So if you are all wondering YES YES we went for our macaroons after the event, and YES they were yummy as always! And of course knowing us we spent yet another hour and a half chatting!
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE NEW PRODUCTS I HAVE YET TO REVIEW?

Q: What are other words or phrases for "total catch", "whole package", or "perfect 10" when referring to an attractive bachelorette? I've found it difficult to search for synonyms.
I'm hoping for some noun that signifies a really impressive woman that any man would want to share life with.
"Perfect 10" and "bombshell" are probably too focused on physical appearance than I'm intending. "Eligible bachelorette" is too clunky.
I lead a group of women who are single and looking for a male life partner. These women are amazing: successful, fit, attractive, and intelligent. And they're actively dating--hoping to find their match.
And our tribe wants a name!  We'd love to call ourselves The ______s* and say that our weekly group call is The _______ Hour, or something like that.
*plural variation of the word or phrase I'm asking for

A: How about goddess, implying a person approaching perfection and probably widely desirable? If that seems too presumptuous, then something less grand such as princess might work. Yes, princess is sometimes used in a derogatory fashion, esp. in AmEng, but we could go on with enchantress, or, largely lacking gender, a romantic.


I Will Not Suffer In Silence » Blog Archive » George hates me.
So I woke up and realised george was moments away from making a horrible mess. Took care of myself and that's when the cramps began.
So, I guess eating my weight in spinach for the past two days really didn't help me, after all. I didn't have such excruciating pain for the first day of george, and the second day it got painful enough to take a Tylenol 3 on a full stomach (which thankfully didn't alter me from my studies), but this morning was BAD.
I took Tylenol 3 on an empty stomach about three hours ago and I'm still stoned. The pain has moved into my lower back and the squid are continuous, hence the pain.
This of course inhibits my attention and visual focus by… a lot.
Still, I'll see what I can do 'til I pass out from the meds.

Core Facility: New spectrum of methods opened by special devices
News / News / Core Facility: New spectrum of methods opened by special devices
State-of-the-art large-scale facilities ensure access to cutting-edge international research
Send page via e-mail
Bioimaging and cell analytics as well as biomechanics and tissue engineering: these research fields gain access to the new state-of-the-art large-scale facilities at two locations on Campus Krems. The new research infrastructure is provided to Danube University Krems, the Karl Landsteiner Private University for Health Sciences and the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems. Therefore the method spectrum and support of existing connection to international medical research shall be expanded.
Donau-Universität Krems/Walter Skokanitsch
At two Krems campuses the state-of-the-art large-scale facilities are from now on available for research in the fields of bioimaging and cell analysis as well as biomechanics and tissue engineering. The new research infrastructure, financed with around 3.2 million euros by the Province of Lower Austria, the Lower Austrian Health and Social Fund (NÖGUS), will be used by Danube University Krems, the Karl Landsteiner Private University for Health Sciences and the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems. It is intended to expand the range of methods and support the existing connection to international medical research.
Two locations, joint use
The new large-scale facilities will primarily benefit the two research fields of bioimaging and cell analysis as well as biomechanics and tissue engineering. They are located at two locations on the campus and complement the equipment of the Biomedical Laboratory at Danube University Krems and the Laboratory of the Karl Landsteiner Private University for Health Sciences. The scientists from the three universities can jointly use the entire equipment, which is also available for external partners.
Inflammation and material compatibility as a cross-section
The three institutions participating in the Core Facility approach inflammation, a cross-cutting topic, i.e. the field of inflammation, differently. Sepsis therapy, the contact of tissue with biomaterials, as well as topics of regenerative medicine are the focal points. Another cross-sectional topic is the testing of biomaterials for their compatibility for clinical use. Here, research is called upon to prove whether incompatibilities or inflammations might occur in tissues.
Devices open up new spectrum of methods and ensure competitiveness
The new equipment on Campus Krems opens research opportunities at the three universities on Campus Krems to expand their range of methods significantly and leads to answers by using modern analytical methods as well as visualizations in bioimaging and cell analysis. The MicroCT utilized in biomechanics enables non-destructive material testing, and the new laboratory equipment at the Karl Landsteiner Private University for Health Sciences is unique in Austria in this combination.
Thus the new Core Facility also provides the basis for publication of scientific findings at the highest level. At the same time, it promotes young scientists to familiarize with the latest medical science methods at Campus Krems.
Building block of Lower Austria's FTI strategy
The Core Facility is a concrete implementation of the Lower Austrian FTI strategy. The Core Facility was established with funds from the Lower Austrian Research, Technology and Innovation Program and the Lower Austrian Health and Social Fund (NÖGUS).

Chinese Scientist Pleads Guilty to Stealing Trade Secrets From GlaxoSmithKline

A former scientist who used to work at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has pleaded guilty to stealing trade secrets from the company. Lucy Xi, 44 years old, aimed to transfer the trade secrets to a pharma company called Renopharma that has received funds from the Chinese communist regime.
According to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), Renopharma was established by Yu Xue, Tao Li, and Yan Mei to research and develop anti-cancer drugs. The company was located in Nanjing, China. They are all co-defendants in the case. Like Xi, the three individuals were also employed at GSK, working at the company's facility in Upper Merion, Pennsylvania.
In 2015, Lucy Xi sent a confidential document from GSK to Yan Mei, who is also her husband. The document contained secret trade data and other information that provided a summary of the company's research into monoclonal antibodies. In an email, Xi told her husband that he needs to "understand it very well" since it will help him in his "future business," referring to Renopharma. This document is the basis of Xi's plea to a single count in her indictment.
Following an FBI probe into the matter, Tao Li and Yu Xue have both pleaded guilty for their roles in the crime. Yan Mei fled back to communist China, out of the DoJ's reach.
"This defendant (Xi) illegally stole trade secrets to benefit her husband's company, which was financed by the Chinese government… The lifeblood of companies like GSK is its intellectual property, and when that property is stolen and transferred to a foreign country, it threatens thousands of American jobs and jeopardizes the strategic benefits brought about through research and development. Such criminal behavior must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," U.S. Attorney Williams said in a statement.
Jacqueline Maguire, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Philadelphia Division, said that big pharma companies like GSK invest "staggering amounts of time and money" to develop new drugs and bring them to the market. When someone steals trade secrets from such companies, the criminal threatens both "the firm and beyond' since an innovation like this "propels" the American economy.
"The FBI is committed to enforcing laws that protect the nation's businesses from such theft. We will not permit American research and development to be scavenged for the benefit of other companies or countries," Maguire said.
Chinese theft of American intellectual property and trade secrets causes massive damage to the U.S. economy. IP violations by communist China are estimated to cost America around $225 billion to $600 billion annually. A 2019 survey by CNBC found that 20 percent of companies based in North America reported that their IPs were stolen the previous year.
To deal with the issue, the Trump administration entered into a Phase One trade agreement with China in Jan. 2020 in which IP protection was made a key focus point. In February that year, FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed that his bureau had opened 1,000 cases investigating Chinese theft of American technology. He had warned that Beijing was seeking to steal U.S. tech by "any means necessary."

Le Temps Du Loup - Enthraller LP (Dunk! Records)
Enthraller by Le Temps Du Loup on 180g colored vinyl.
Comes in a standard 12" sleeve with subtle mat finish on Dark Grey Marbled vinyl and is limited to 300 copies worldwide.
Also available at Pundonor Records, A Thousand Arms (US), Birds Robe Records (AU), Church Road Records (UK) & New Noise China (CN).
Releases on August 19, 2022.
Since we last heard from them on 2018's Cardinal, Madrid's Le Temps Du Loup have embarked on a journey of sonic discovery, not only building upon the template that made that LP so potent, but also expanding with the possibilities inherent in a broadened canvas. Their newest offering Enthraller is a continuation of established themes such as the breakdown of society and a forewarning of the potential for darkness that could emerge from such pathways. But even more importantly, it stands as a striking experiment that sees them re-imagining their sound in varying contexts, offering listeners the opportunity to look deeper into their songwriting and see glimpses of what's to come from these adventurous, compelling artists.
Opening track "Unto Marathon" is the EP's shortest track, but it manifests as more than just a simple intro, surveying Le Temps Du Loup's softer side, exhibiting synth as an integral additional layer, and showing their ability to navigate a drum-less track – an idea that comes into play much more considerably as the record moves into its B side. "Vertu" immediately punches through the final moments of "Unto Marathon" with muscular drumming, but then settles into what may be the band's most melodic moments as they move calmly along through a three-minute stretch of quintessential mid-tempo post-rock. Even the moments when the volume is turned up have a wonderfully sweeping, alluring alt-metal vibe that is reminiscent of what it might sound like if Failure was covering a Pelican song. Of course, it's not all presented with a subdued sensibility, as "Vertu" eventually sees the band returning to their chugging post-metal roots to mount the track's rousing finale. The ten-and-half minute Side A closer "Sic semper tyrannis" covers most of the ground Le Temps Du Loup have trekked to this point: moody, methodical post-rock, towering post-metal, and alt-rock that lands somewhere between dreamy and destructive. It would serve as a thoroughly satisfying close to the EP, but the band has other ideas, which brings us to what might be the most intriguing feature of the record.
Side B contains a single track, the sixteen-and-a-half minute "Alt kommer til en slutt," a fascinating freeform re-imagining the three songs from Side A. The synth that played an important role in "Unto Marathon" now takes not just center stage, but the entirety of the sonic landscape, assuming the roles of all other instrumentation for this compelling interpretation. More than just a remix or an ambient composition, the song stands tall as both an experiment, an examination, and a confident statement of purpose. For the band it is an exercise in reflection and analysis, an opportunity to take what drives them as musicians and allow those things to exist in an entirely different environment. For listeners it's a rare look behind the curtain at the creative process, both a tool for understanding and an additional experiential option.
More than a simple EP, Enthraller is a sturdy and self-assured exploration of style and method that fulfills numerous functions in a compact space. There are robust examples of what Le Temps Du Loup have been known for to this point, skillful expansions of their core sound, and intriguing examinations of methodology. The result is a record which offers more material of substance and occasion for reflection than the average full-length, and stands as a stimulating sample of the possibilities Le Temps Du Loup bring to the table for future releases.
