I chose to read something out of my genre with this book. I had no idea what to expect for The Benevolence Archives. I was fairly certain it wasn't going to be romance and I knew it was in English. Everything else was a surprise. And it was a very pleasant surprise.
I loved the intro for this book. I loved it because it was written with humour and in such a kind way–almost humble–that I felt as though the author was a friend, talking to me directly. It also helped me because it set up the setting for the book. Suddenly, I knew where I was and what was going to happen. That introduction eliminated the effort it takes to get into some science-fiction books. I was most definitely in.
One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was the humour. From subtle to quirky, it's everywhere and I loved it. Everyone has personality and I liked them all. From Nameless, the ship who talks back with some cheek to its owners, to the droids who edge away from those they think are dangerous, the smaller characters kept me smiling or right out laughing.
I can't talk about characters without talking about Brazel and Grond. Hilarious, outspoken, cheeky and right out delightful, they tease each other, laugh at danger but still pull at your heart strings. I loved them. I particularly loved their dialogue and how they almost carelessly went ahead with crazy plans thought up in the spur of the moment.
The book is fast paced without leaving the reader in the dark. Things happen quickly and I had to keep turning the pages to see how on earth they were going to get out of this or that fix. It takes place in space but it wasn't a weird, strange alien world where the oddities made me want to get back to earth, this space was familiar and fun. It had your slimy and scary characters but it also had touching moments and homey feelings.
Because the stories are short, the book is an easy, quick read that is simply fun, light and enjoyable. Reading it felt like a movie. I could see the ships, the planets and the characters in my mind. Best of all, I can go back and see them all over again.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read.

Kostas is a 1979 film directed by Paul Cox about a Greek taxi driver.

Production
The film was shot over four weeks in March 1979. $100,000 of the budget came from the Victorian Film Corporation.

Post production on the film was rushed so Cox could ready it in time for the Melbourne Film Festival which he now says was a mistake. However it was the best received of all Cox's features to date.

With the recent closing of three vegetarian/vegan restaurants in the metro DC area, Great Sage is now the only non-ethnic vegan restaurant open daily for lunch and dinner within 30 miles of DC. Sadly, it's true. So on this Saturday, my mother and I went to check out the newly released fall 2012 menu.
Despite it being in the middle of the day, the dining room was still very busy. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and were immediately greeted with a couple glasses of water. Our server approached the table and we both ordered a glass of wine. I know it is just lunch, but, hey, it was after 2 p.m. so why not?!
Our server kept approaching us as we took our time discussing the menu items. He had a coarseness to him that was undesirable by us at the time and he really rubbed us the wrong way. He mentioned his favorite dishes when he first approached us, then later when I asked him about one item, he seemed annoyed and remarked, "do you think I'd lie to you?" He was indicating that he already mentioned that item was good. Geez, pipe down, brother. So we placed our orders.
We both started with the raw Mediterranean salad. The small "side" salad was huge! The crisp romaine heart leaves were piled high with red peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onion along with crunchy sprouts in a lemon garlic dressing and a dollop of hummus. This salad was way too salty. It tasted like they dumped the entire container of salt into the hummus. It was also way too big for a small salad.
Next, they dropped off my mother's tempeh reuben and brought me some sort of sandwich. I then told them that I ordered enchiladas. My server apparently put in the wrong order for me. I nibbled at the tempeh reuben while I waited [for a long time] for my entree. I think they really need to improve on their reuben. They could learn a lot from Chicago Diner on this one.
Finally, my pumpkin enchiladas arrived. Luckily, they were worth the wait. The enchiladas were filled with pumpkin, black beans, roasted corn, cilantro, and chilis and topped with some sort of vegan sour cream and mole. They were delicious. They were served atop a Spanish quinoa that was cooked with tomatoes. Did I mention that after suggesting a hot sauce, the server still forgot to bring this?! After adding both hots and hot sauce to this dish, I enjoyed it even more.
I was way too full to enjoy dessert, but my mother insisted I take one home so I ordered the new pumpkin pie. It was served with caramel sauce and some sort of vegan cream. It was a great pumpkin pie.
So, in the end, some of the dishes were great and some were not, their prices are on the high end for lunch in Maryland at $13 per entree, and the service left much to be desired. In fact, it was nearly 15 minutes before he brought us the check. That is not to mention his bad, sarcastic attitude throughout the meal despite our attempts to be pleasant. I'm sure I will be back next season, but not anytime soon.
Couldn't agree with you more. Every time we've been, the food has been just okay to good, and the service has never been beyond mediocre. It seems like they don't train their people at all. We've never had it downright rude like you did on this visit though! Geez. It's just not worth a special trip all the way out there. I hope they see your review here and on Yelp. They get far more praise and credit than they deserve IMO and need to make some serious improvements.
As for other vegan places, Soul Veg, Everlasting Life, and Senbeb (my personal fave) are all open for lunch and dinner. Though Senbeb does close at 7, I believe.
Great Sage is definitely hit or miss, but I always find my way back there. I like the other DC restaurants you listed, but I just don't always want to eat soul food. We need more variety in this city!
Katie - I really appreciate your response. I'm sure I will be back in the winter and hopefully I'll get to meet you in person some day.


He was jailed at Exeter Crown Court as a third strike burglar and sentenced to two years and five months in jail.
Prosecutor Brian Fitzherbert said the offence happened in the early hours of January 21.
Brown later claimed he had been beaten up in the High Street before deciding to burgle a house.
He said he was so drunk he could not remember doing it but it was the sort of thing he did do when he was intoxicated.
He stole a set of keys and a coat.
Mr Stephen Nunn, defending, said Brown was so drunk an unfocused that he had missed the opportunity to steal a wallet full of cash form another coat pocket. And he said the coat was probably too big for him anyway.
The court had previously given Brown the chance to attend an alcohol programme to treat his drinking but he had failed to turn up. He was arrested after failing to show up at court for a previous hearing.
Judge Timothy Rose said: "You have a significant history of committing offences."
He said the law was that as a third strike burglar he must sentence Brown to a minimum three years unless it was unjust to do so.
Judge Rose said he did not find it would be unjust to start from that point.
He gave the defendant credit for pleading guilty to burglary and reduced the term to two years and five months.

Is Bullet Club Fine? 5 Things to Keep an Eye On
#goldenlovers vs #youngbucks #bulletclub #bc4life #bulletclub4life #njpw #njsse
A post shared by BULLET CLUB Official (@bulletclub_official) on Mar 27, 2018 at 11:36pm PDT
The flagship youtube channel of the Bullet Club, Being The Elite, has been an absolute juggernaut the past year. A channel that merely started as the Young Bucks vlogging about the road and what all the travel of the busiest duo in professional wrestling entails blossomed into an entertainment outlet all on its own. Since then it has lead to Bullet Club shirts selling like crazy on ProWrestlingTees.com, a lucrative deal with Hot Topic, and most recently the BTE YouTube page hitting 200k followers. It's golden right? Recent videos and matches would say otherwise…
Recently we have seen infighting on the channel and at live events. The spearhead of it all has been between current BC leader Kenny Omega and want to be leader Cody Rhodes. The incumbent is most likely the most popular wrestler outside of WWE. The argument could be made that he is, in fact, THE most popular wrestler in the world. Kenny Omega is the perfect mix of in-ring ability and on mic magic. Cody Rhodes (or as he legally has to be referred to on the indies, just "Cody") is an amazing example of drive and talent. Not content resting on family laurels, being the son of the son of a plumber (I swear that makes sense), he asked for his release from the WWE to spread his wings on the indies. Since then he has flourished and has been absolutely killing it. Now these superpowers are facing off. But they aren't the only ones to be involved in this. Bullet Club is a faction that is stacked with talent, so here are five storylines to keep an eye on going forward…
Kenny Omega vs. The American Nightmare Cody
Leader vs. Leader (?). We all saw this coming. The ruthlessness of Cody had to lead to this. Kenny Omega, the one time betrayer to the leader in the form of AJ Styles, has become the betrayed. Cody has worked hard to poison the minds of the rest of the BC and has caused a fissure in the stable. They have to fight it out to figure out who's in charge. They have to fight for the future of Bullet Club…
On a non-story, more technical note these are two insanely talented wrestlers so this fight is going to be great. Both are amazing storytellers in the ring and can take a beating as much as they can give one. If you need proof and don't get woozy at the sight of blood go look at Cody's Instagram–the aftermath from their fight in NJPW is pretty grisly. These guys aren't going to hold back at Super Card of Honor.
The Young Bucks vs. The Golden Lovers
If you saw Strong Style Evolved in Long Beach you'll know that these four can go. Former (and still? Not clear yet…) close friends The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, and Kenny Omega find themselves at odds. Currently, Omega is back with former tag partner Kota Ibushi. They have run together in the past as the Golden Lovers. When Cody turned on Omega, Ibushi was there to pick him back up. The Bucks, on the other hand, have found themselves at odds with both sides. Matt Jackson seemingly has more of an issue with Omega (we'll talk about Nick next) and it was Matt who took the pin in Long Beach. There seems to be a strain but the Bucks refuse to give up on Omega
Outside of the story, you're not going to get a more exciting tag match up. The Youngs Bucks super-kicks, Omega's devastating knee, and Ibushi's athleticism all mean that any time they would face off you could be watching a five-star match. Omega is a master storyteller in the ring. The Bucks, on the other hand, have often been criticized for lack of story in their matches, opting for more of a spot monkey approach. Flips and finishers abound, not much story. Recently though Matt Jackson has been working a story about his back being injured and how it's affecting his matches. Add the fact that The Bucks are growing as storytellers (I never thought they were that bad at it to begin with) means these matches can only get better.
The Young Bucks vs. Cody
At the beginning of this rift it seemed that the Bucks were in Cody's corner. But with him berating them at Strong Style Evolved, his antics trying to pit people against each other, and the recent attempt to "change the Bullet Club logo" to a much more Cody related image, one that the Bucks personally rejected on social media, has put that loyalty is in question. Asking us to believe that the Bucks would continue to feud with longtime friend Omega and stay with Cody was a long shot but by splitting the Bucks opinions on each of them, bought a little time for us to accept it. As much as it seems that Matt has been angry at Omega, Nick seems to not trust Cody at all and has got Matt's ear after the last episode of BTE.
When the time comes that Cody will face off with them you'll have to hope Cody can keep Hangman Page as loyal as he has been so far. Omega already has a tag partner with Ibushi but Cody doesn't have a Tag partner historically speaking on the Indy scene. It seems as Adam "Hangman" Page is pretty firmly in the American Nightmare's corner. But will the Hangman split from his friends and their six-man tag team the Hung Bucks? It would be fun to watch…
Hangman Page and Marty Scurll
Two of the newer members of Bullet Club have been a huge run the past year. Since joining BC Scurll has been one of the top-selling shops on Pro-Wrestling Tees and has a shot at the Ring of Honor World Championship against Dalton Castle at the very same event that is pitting Omega vs. Cody. Hangman Page enjoyed a long run as one part of the ROH six-man tag team champs with the Young Bucks. A team they lovingly called The Hung Bucks. While Scurll has been going the direction of being more frustrated through this fissure, Page has taken the stance of staunchly supporting Cody. If things come to a boil, where these two men fall will play a huge part.
The Rest of Bullet Club…
So for casual fans there are six faces you see a lot. The main cast of Being the Elite is Kenny Omega, Cody, The Young Bucks, Marty Scurll, and Hangman Page. But there are five other major members of BC based out of New Japan Pro Wrestling. All five members actually have longer tenures then both Scurll and Page with one, Bad Luck Fale, being the only original member of the BC left. The other five are Fale, Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, Yujiro, and Chase Owens. All of these wrestlers are talented. Tonga and Loa make up the monster tag team known as The Guerillas of Destiny and Yujiro is the first non-gaijin member of BC. These members have expressed displeasure with the focus on BTE and could be a major player in the outcome of how this ends. That would be great because more exposure for these guys in North America would be awesome.
Regardless of how this ends, Being the Elite and Bullet Club have put together some of the most entertaining moments in wrestling over the past year or so. So love them or hate them they make for great reviews, especially for the independent circuit.

One of the ideas behind Kraken Framework is to provide mechanisms for asynchronous programming in PHP. Code asynchronity and asynchronous programming might be a difficult concept to understand and to apply to real code. This article shows important concepts about this kind of programming and how they have been implemented in Kraken Framework.
This section presents definitions for synchronous and asynchronous programming and shows differences between them.
A method call is considered synchronous or sequential if the caller cannot make progress until the method returns a value or throws an exception. This simply means, that no matter what kinds of operations you are doing in your program, each operation is executed one after another, but only when previous operation finishes.
This can become problematic quite fast as your application will start to involve using blocking operations such as sending or receiving data from external sources outside of your system. A common example for this kind of behaviour is transmitting data through sockets. Data being read from a socket is not immediately available and it may take some time for the data to be delivered. In synchronous programming this intervals of time makes your application to freeze and wait for external program response doing nothing and killing its overall performance.
Both stream_socket_client and fread operations used in this example are synchronous and blocking. It means the do other things block won't be executed before these functions return. Think what would happen if for some reason your application had to wait one hour for this socket to receive data? Do you see the problem? Yes, your application would be frozen, for whole hour, doing nothing.
This kind of problems might be omitted using asynchronous programming.
In contrast to synchronous programming, an asynchronous call allows the caller to only initiate an operation which completion will be signalled via some additional mechanism. This means, that using previously shown example, your application could initiate the socket listener, and then do other things, while data is being delivered.
As you can see, after these additions, your code doesn't try to read data automatically, but only registers data listeners allowing do other things to be processed immediately. Kraken's internal mechanisms will ensure that your registered listener will be executed as soon as data is received. Now, your application can freely do other things, not wasting any precious server resources. This kind of an approach in creating applications is referenced to, as event-driven programming.
Kraken Framework allows developer to write asynchronous code using events, messages, promises and event-loop.
Events allow you to write loose-coupled services that communicate between themselves using transfer of special signals called events. Kraken implements event-driven architecture using Kraken/Event component. You can read more about how events can be used in events section.
Messages can be defined as special case of events, that instead of local use, are passed between isolated processes or threads. Kraken implements message-driven architecture using Kraken/Channel component. You can read more about how messages can be used in messages section.
Promises represent the eventual results of an asynchronous operations. They allow writing asynchronous code in synchronous-like manner. Kraken implements promises using Kraken/Promise component. You can read more how promises can be used in promises section.
Event loop is central part of any Kraken-based application. It is an infinite loop that queues and resolves callbacks allowing for asynchronous processing on single thread. Kraken implements loop using Kraken/Loop component. You can read more about how loop can be used in loop section.

UK statement to the WTO Trade Negotiations Committee
The UK's Ambassador to the WTO and UN in Geneva, Julian Braithwaite, delivered a statement to the WTO Trade Negotiations Committee on 2 March 2020.
Thank you very much Director-General for your summary and to the chairs of the negotiating groups for their updates.
I wanted to start by joining you, New Zealand Ambassador David Walker, and others in paying tribute to Mike Moore. He was the nearest thing we have had to a British Director-General for a long time, and we in the United Kingdom are very proud of him, and of his legacy here in the World Trade Organization.
With the kind permission of the Chair of the General Council, my Secretary of State for International Trade will be here to address the General Council tomorrow, and so I will keep my remarks today brief.
As Members will be aware, the United Kingdom has circulated a document contained in WT/GC/206, which sets out some of the implications of our departure from the European Union. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Members, as well as you and your team in the WTO Secretariat, for all of the constructive support we have received in this process.
I would now like to say a few words about the United Kingdom's approach to the ongoing negotiations in which we are all engaged, and our ambitions for 2020 and beyond.
We agree with you, Director-General, that success at MC12 will be measured by the substance of what we agree. And as others have said, starting with the Swiss Ambassador Didier Chambovey, the principal metric of that success will be whether there is a fisheries deal, one that leads to meaningful reductions in harmful subsidies.
The Chair, Ambassador Wills, set out the challenges and the way forward, and we agree with him. We need to move to a consolidated text by mid-March. Members need to examine their own long-held positions critically, exercise restraint, and rally around compromises instead of sticking to incompatible national positions. The dire conditions of many of the world's fish stocks dramatically highlights the need to deliver on this Sustainable Development Goal target. We stand ready in the UK, as do our ministers, to help the Chair and you get a deal across the line at Nur Sultan.
More broadly, as upcoming COP26 hosts, we warmly welcome other discussions in this House aimed at facilitating green growth and a more sustainable global economy.
On agriculture, I wanted to thank Ambassador John Deep Ford for his detailed report. The United Kingdom is committed to a fair and market orientated agricultural trading system, and we look forward to working with Members to address the challenges that we face and progress negotiations. We know how important this issue is for so many Members of this House.
Regarding your second tranche of issues for MC12, the United Kingdom has long supported the Joint Initiatives. They represent perhaps the most significant reform to the WTO in recent years. If they succeed, these initiatives will advance digital trade and trade in services, open up new opportunities for Micro, Small and Medium Size Enterprises, and facilitate global investment for development. But, in addition to that, they will strengthen the negotiating function of the WTO, upon which the health of the global trading system depends.
On wider WTO reform, the United Kingdom supports efforts to strengthen the rules on subsidies, we support efforts to improve compliance around transparency and notifications, and we do need to discuss questions around non-market policies and practices. The WTO cannot afford to ignore these issues.
Finally, allow me to turn to the dispute settlement system. We view a fully-functioning, compulsory, binding and impartial system, with two-tier review as crucial to ensure the rules that we have negotiated can be enforced. We are committed to finding solutions that all Members can support in order to reinstate a fully effective dispute settlement system.
By way of closing, Director-General, let me just reiterate that the United Kingdom stands ready to help, in any way you would find useful, to achieve a meaningful outcome at Nur Sultan that both reconfirms the WTO's central role, and opens up new opportunities and prosperity for our businesses and citizens.


My new, smaller family is on vacation this week. We're visiting old friends, some family, carving out new memories, enjoying ourselves.
And I feel guilty as hell about it.
I know it's silly, I know it. He's gone, we're still living, it wasn't our fault what happened happened. We have to keep on living, and part of living is finding joy. Preferably a large part. Otherwise, well, we won't go down that path. Ever.
Yet, I can't help the guilt. I mean, this is my first time dealing with grief at this level. My parents are still with us, as are my husband's. And our siblings. Our parents dealt with the details of burying our grandparents, all of whom passed many years ago.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I'm a little afraid people will criticize the "way" I'm dealing or not. Crazy or stupid, perhaps, but that's me.
What I want to feel is happy. What I want is for the hole in my heart to heal. Okay, what I really want is my son back, but I've mostly come to accept that isn't going to happen. Despite that, I still want to enjoy life. I want to wake up and look forward to the day. I want to laugh. And oh God, I want to stop crying. I've shed enough tears for a lifetime in the last three weeks, and while I know they won't end entirely, it would be nice to take a break from them for at least a few days at a time.
Being on vacation has helped. We've deliberately chosen activities my daughter would like, and we've thoroughly reveled in her joy. I've taken a bunch of pictures and have posted some on Facebook, including one of myself and my husband, smiling. I was weirdly worried people would condemn me for smiling, but instead, my friends are glad for us. Which I suppose I should have expected. These people love me, after all, and despite our recent horrendous loss–or maybe because of it–they want us to find peace, to be happy again.
So we are. One day at a time. I'm sure there will be other posts full of sadness and despair and wishing for what I cannot have. But for right now, we are enjoying our vacation. And smiling.
In the deepest of grief, you still get these small breaks from the emotion. This vacation time is one of those moments of reprieve. It's not a linear process, so roll with the emotions, whatever they are, as they appear.
You have a wonderful attitude, Tami. Grieving is a natural process that we all have to deal with at one time or another, and I totally believe one should celebrate the life of the lost loved one rather than be miserable about their death. We also have to go on living and we can choose to be happy or not.
Everyone grieves differently. Anyone who criticizes you and your family for the way you are handling things, isn't worth knowing or listening to. I was glad to see your family having fun. Know that you have a strong support system. Do what YOU need to do to get through this awful time. Blessings to you and family.
Grief comes in waves. Take them as they come, and (try) not to worry about what others think for how you grieve. Everyone does so in different ways, and their is no right or wrong way. God bless you, and your family.
I know it's been a month, but I just want to say thank you–for your support, your understanding, for you. Thank you, friends!

In her obsessively stitched work she combines a wide range of cloth, as well as paper, print and found objects, to assist in telling the story.
She's never happier than with a pencil or a needle and thread in her hand and some sort of experimental work challenging her to find a new way to communicate. With heaps of enthusiasm and encouragement, she hopes to convey this sense of discovery and enjoyment to every class.
Alysn Midgelow-Marsden

While there are many types of programmers out there, most of them tend to be placed in the same category. But when push comes to shove, the reality is that there are different categories. And each one of these programmers will focus on specific tasks related to their job. With that in mind, here are the various types of programmers that you can find nowadays.
As you can imagine, these programmers work behind the scenes, and they are collecting, sorting, arranging and retrieving pieces of information that require any database development. They accumulate the necessary data, and then they create a database according to that. They are also focused on updating the database with new data when that's necessary. There are a variety of options here, but database developers tend to use the Structured Query language. As for their income, the median income for database developers is $73000 or sometimes a bit more.
Software development is maybe the best job for any programmer. It requires programmers to create software that's used either by regular people or by corporate clients. Each program will have certain instructions and a large set of guidelines that need to add up to create the finished product. These developers design and create programs that run the operating systems for computers or mobile users. Or they offer software to be used within the operating system. A software developer can earn around $70000 per year in the US.
As the name suggests, these programmers need to create instructions for computer hardware. They will write instructions in machine language. The programs and instructions created by these programmers are mandatory in order to make various programs and tools work. This is a very demanding and comprehensive task, and there's no room for error. While the salary differs, the salary for such a programmer can be around $60000 or higher, depending on experience and location.
One thing is certain, being a computer programmer can offer you tremendous benefits and access to a high paycheck. On the other hand, these tasks require a lot of hard work and attention. But as you can see, each type of programmer has a predefined job with dedicated instructions. That alone makes the job easier and more comprehensive. If you have any interest in programming, these jobs are worth taking a look at!


We run the IOSH Managing Safely course across our nationwide training centres. The course hours are from 8.30am-5.00pm and the venue is air-conditioned. There is chargeable onsite parking on a first come, first serve basis. Free lunch and refreshments are provided for delegates.

The School of Arts and Sciences was one of the first schools created on 11 February 1992 by then Don Severino Agricultural College (DSAC). It was headed by Dr. Lorna L. Penales who also managed three departments under its wing, namely: the Department of Languages and Humanities, the Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Physical Sciences, each of which was chaired by Ms. Nelia Espejo, Dr. Josefina Rint and Prof. Trinidad Ocampo, respectively.
During the time of its conception, the School had no curricular program of its own; yet, it catered to the basic education courses of the various undegraduate programs of the university by offering major courses in Mathematics, Chemistry, Crop Protection, Biology and Science as well as basic courses in Math, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Languages, Humanities, Social Sciences and Biological Sciences.
Considering its program offerings, the School started to offer Bachelor of Science in Biology (BS Bio) during the first semester of SY 1994-1995. The following year, two new programs were offered: Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (BSAM) and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (BS Chem). A year after, Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication (BAMC) was approved and offered to students.
Back in 1998, by virtue of the Republic Act No.8468, Don Severino Agricultural College, a premier college not only in the region but in whole country as well, was converted into a state university to be known as CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY. It follows then, that the four schools under it, including the School of Arts and Sciences, were elevated into colleges, hence became the COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.
The first dean of the college was Dr. Lutgarda P. Ilagan who was directly under the supervision of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. She focused mainly on the College's commitment to the students. Through the concerted efforts of the faculty members and staff of the college along with the support of the Administration, the College was able to revise and update the existing curricula of the BS Applied Mathematics program, as well as pass the Accreditation Preliminary Survey of the AACCUP for the BS Bio, BSAM and the BS Chem in 2000.
By 2001, Dr. Divinia C. Chavez took over the deanship of the College. She was primarily with concerned with on the College's goal of providing relevant and quality instruction, responsive research and extension services in the arts and sciences toward the development of globally competitive and morally upright individuals and prepare students for careers in different fields. A year after she assumed position, two new programs were offered: the BS Nursing and the BS Psychology. Level 2 accreditation status for both BSAM and BS Chem curricula was also attained. Quite a number of equipment and instruction devices were procured including two sets of Soxhlet heating mantle apparatus, uv-vis spectrophotometer to name a few. Chemical rooms, display cabinets, laboratory tables and rooms were likewise acquired. In 2004, Bachelor of Arts in English and the only graduate program of the College, Master of Science in Biology, were offered.
In 2007, Dr. Cecilia B. Banaag became the dean of the College. During her deanship, AB Political Science was offered.
By the year 2008, Dr. Evelyn O. Singson was appointed as the college's dean. In 2011, the college started to offer BS Social Work under the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities. To continuously provide the students with quality education, the University approved the revision of the BAMC curriculum and it was renamed Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 2012.
In January 2014, Dr. Lynn G. Penales was designated as the dean of the college. Through her leadership, the College of Arts and Sciences continued to offer services aimed at producing holistic learners from different fields. She also led the college in the conduct of various extension and research activities.
Dr. Bettina Joyce P. Ilagan, faculty of the Department of Languages and Mass Communication, has been designated as the college's dean since November 2016. Her leadership gears towards producing faculty, staff, and students who are Carriers of Truth, Advocates of Excellence, and Stewards of Service. To live as one TRUE CAS family (to produce people who Train: Instruction; Research: Research and Development; Utilize: Management and Generation of Resources; and Extend: Community and Extension Services) is her vision for the college.
At present, the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) recognizes various levels of accreditation for the academic programs of the College. BA Journalism (formerly BA Mass Communication) has been awarded the Level III (Phase I) status. Likewise, BS Applied Mathematics with specialization in Statistics and BS Biology both qualified for Level III – Re-accredited status. BS Psychology program is awarded Level 2 Re-accredited status. BA English, BA Political Science, and MS Biology programs have been awarded Level I Accredited status. After its first preliminary visit, BS Social Work qualified for Candidate status.
With the finest headship of its present dean, the College also supports its faculty members through assistance in local, national, and international seminar-workshops, trainings, and research projects. Faculty members have conducted researches along various concerns that are relevant to their fields of specialization. These researches enrich the classroom instruction and extension activities of the College.
The College has also started working on its BEE Program headed by the Biological Sciences Department. Seminars and trainings have been conducted and faculty and students from different departments have been tapped to produce multidisciplinary researches.
Efforts have also been intensified with the participation of more stakeholders along Community Adoption Services: Kabarangay at Kaeskwela (CAS:KK). In its bid to stay true to its mission, it has remained grounded on the University's tenets: truth, excellence and service. CAS:KK is the umbrella extension program of the College which started in 2011. The College also endorsed "CAS:KK for IHGPV" along with three other partners: Kiwanis Club Treasures of Indang, iHOME-Indang, and Daine Western Cavite Institute. It also launched its newsletter "Magdyaryo Tayo!" in the said barangay. Livelihood projects conducted in Mendez, Cavite have also been given emphasis by the CAS extentionists.
Community Adoption Services: Health, Education, and Livelihood Programs or CAS HELPs is the current extension framework and agenda of the College.
As of August 1, 2017, CAS is composed of 140 faculty members; 54 of them have permanent status, 7 are enjoying temporary status, 2 are working on contractual basis, and 77 are teaching under job-order basis. There are also nine staff working in different units/departments. In terms of academic rank, the college has one university professor, two professors, 18 associate professors, 13 assistant professors, and 106 instructors. The College also has nine administrative support staff.
To be more equipped in their profession, many of its faculty members have started pursuing their graduate studies. Some of them have already enjoyed scholarship grants given by the Commission on Higher Education to complete their respective degrees.
