The coastal town of Ragay in the province of Camarines Sur in the Philippines is one of those places you pass by on the way to a major city like Naga in Bicol. However small and unheard of, Ragay produced Dr. Jesse Ronquillo, multi-awarded scientist currently at the forefront of developing an Aquaculture Technician diploma program funded by the B.C. provincial government.
In spring of this year, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills granted funds to the North Island College (NIC) in the amount of $600,000 to develop an Aquaculture Technician diploma. Dr. Ronquillo was hired to develop that diploma program which will be one of the first such advanced production training programs in B.C.
“I was exposed to coastal waters and the natural beauty of the sea growing up in the town of Ragay,” Ronquillo reminisces.
His grandfathers, one from Bulacan province and the other from Quezon province, both availed of the distribution of free agriculture lands by the Philippine government in the 1950s under President Ramon Magsaysay. Ronquillo grew up surrounded by fishponds managed by one side of the family and fishing as a livelihood being practiced by the other.

It seemed like it was a natural course of action for Ronquillo to have taken a science undergraduate degree in fisheries at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City, and masteral and post-doctoral degrees in fisheries and aquaculture at Kagoshima University in Japan. But what proved to be providential is his move to Canada.
In 2001, Ronquillo was offered a job at the University of Maryland in the United States. However, it was also the year of 9/11 and the Anthrax letters found at a Maryland government agency. He recalls, “We were supposed to have immigrated to the United States as I had already been working with the University of Maryland but 9/11 and the Anthrax letters happened and, at the same time, our applications for Canadian permanent residency were approved; so we decided to move here.” It also helped that his wife already liked Canada.
As a member of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Centre for Aquaculture and Environmental Research, Ronquillo was awarded the prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) research fellowship award from 2004 to 2007.
He kept his ties with UBC when he joined the faculty of the Nova Scotia Agriculture College as associate professor and Dalhousie University as adjunct professor. It was through his UBC network that when the marine and aquaculture industry went looking for an expert, UBC provided Ronquillo’s name and contact information. He was chief aquaculture scientist for a B.C.-based fish and shellfish distribution company before returning to the academe at NIC in December 2016.
“Aquaculture is the fastest growing food industry in the world today because it sustains the consumption of a rapidly growing world population,” Ronquillo notes.
However, he adds, “Wild food sources in the ocean are dwindling because of exploitation and irresponsible practices.” The goal, he says, is to develop technology that is both sustainable and will protect the natural environment. The three pillars of marine aquaculture development are environmental, economic and social sustainability.
In developing the Aquaculture Technician diploma program, Ronquillo closely collaborated with major companies to determine the needs and demands of the industry. Students are expected to include existing aquaculture employees upgrading their skills and new trainees who could work locally or around the world as international demand grows.
He also points out that First Nations groups were consulted with regards to their traditional knowledge and practices.
In 2011, Ronquillo was conferred the Balik (visiting) scientist award by the Philippines’ Department of Science and Technology (D0ST). As such, he continues to collaborate with DOST, fellow marine and aquaculture scientists as well as with the University of the Philippines academe.

Reflecting on the Canadian Thanksgiving, Ronquillo says he is “thankful to the Canadian community for the opportunity to practice my profession and be able to use my expertise to collaborate and be part of the quest to grow and improve the aquaculture industry in the most responsible way”.

CHICAGO – “Final Fantasy XIII-2” takes an adjustment. It’s not that distinct an experience from other “FF” games but gamers currently handling “Modern Warfare 3” or “Skyrim” addictions will have to get accustomed to a very different gaming style. The first couple hours, heavy on cut scenes and with a first level that seems frustratingly juvenile and pedestrian, disappointed me.
CHICAGO – The newest action/horror zombie slaughter game, “Dead Island,” has debuted with a bang. The video game, published by Deep Silver, has already shipped out more than a million copies in North America alone. Additionally, the game will have sold 2 million copies globally by the end of this week.
CHICAGO – Rarely has an action game given me the same sense of accomplishment as “Deus Ex: Human Revolution.” While we’ve come a long way in the genre over the last few years, most shooters are still based on predetermined patterns. Enemies pop up in the same place. The same doors must be opened. Precise paths must be taken.
CHICAGO – I must admit to not being a huge RPG fan. Sure, I’ve played the big ones of the last few years and know my “Dragon Age” from my “Fable” from my “Final Fantasy,” but I often run into the same problems — a depth of customizable play that I just don’t care about. Some RPGs feature so many options and so many details that I get lost choosing which shield/sword combo to carry into battle or which spell loadout to take on the next quest.
CHICAGO – The ultra-violent third-person shooter “Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days” wins points merely by the developer’s refusal to pull any punches when it comes to visceral, pitch-black action, but a few frustrating elements continue to hold the franchise back from what it could have been.
CHICAGO – When the representative who sent me a copy of the newest Square Enix RPG “Nier” suggested that I needed to give the game time to impress me, I was immediately concerned. Modern gamers don’t like to wait for their entertainment. And, more often than not, “wait, it gets better” is a false promise. But not in the case of “Nier”.

This saddle has a slightly flatter tree on the underside and compact panels that allow the rider to feel closer to the horse, while still being deep enough to ensure maxiumum clearance along the length of the spine of a high-wither conformation. Although the seat is true to size, it offers a different feel to our Original GP and petite riders or those with narrower hips may feel it suits them better.
This saddle is ideal for shorter backed, high withered horses and those with wide spinal processes.
Recommended by the Veteran Horse Society and the Veteran Welfare Trust.
The gussets on this saddle are deeper to ensure maximum clearance along the length of the spine, but compact enough to make sure the rider doesn't lose the feeling of sitting as close to their horse as possible.

Arizona has attempted to attract technology companies to the state from California by creating an anti-regulatory environment for self-driving car technology. The state has allowed companies to test their autonomous vehicles on the state’s highways. This has led to several companies testing their vehicles in Arizona. Uber has been using its self-driving vehicles on the roads in Arizona.
On March 18, a self-driving Uber Volvo XC90 struck and killed a 49-year-old woman in Tempe, Arizona. The woman was reportedly walking her bicycle across the street when she was struck by the Uber. The vehicle was reportedly traveling at 40 mph and failed to slow when it struck the woman. There was a human operator sitting behind the steering wheel so that he or she could take over in the case of an emergency. While it is too soon to determine whether the vehicle or the pedestrian was at fault in the Arizona case, the case does raise some potential issues of liability. If the vehicle is found to have been at fault, it is possible that the manufacturer could be held to be liable under theories of strict products liability or negligence.
If an accident happened in California involving an autonomous vehicle that killed someone, it is possible that the victim’s family could hold the manufacturer or designer of the vehicle liable under a theory of strict products liability. In products liability cases, it may sometimes be difficult to show that the companies were negligent. However, if a defect in the design or manufacture of the product caused an injury, the company may be strictly liable. In order to prove strict products liability in California, plaintiffs must be able to prove that he or she was harmed by a product that was defectively designed, had manufacturing defects or had insufficient warnings about the dangers it presented.
The design defect of the product was a substantial factor in causing the harm.
The disadvantages of choosing alternative designs.
This would require an analysis by the jury of whether or not there was a different design that could have been used by Uber and that was a feasible one to use.
Uber could also be liable under a theory of negligence for a wrongful death accident that occurs between one of its self-driving vehicles and another person or vehicle. In order to prove negligence, a plaintiff would need to prove that Uber designed or manufactured the vehicle and was negligent in its design or manufacture of it. The plaintiff would then need to prove that he or she was harmed, and Uber’s negligence was a direct or proximate cause of the harm that the plaintiff suffered.
Claims that may be filed against Uber or one of the other manufacturers of autonomous vehicles would likely include both theories of negligence and of strict products liability. As the technology continues to be developed, it will be important for the state and federal governments to address potential liability and insurance issues with new regulations and laws.
If you are injured in an accident involving an autonomous vehicle in which the vehicle was at fault, it is best for you to get help from an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles. Determining the appropriate parties to name as defendants to the lawsuit and the proper claims to file may be complex. Contact the law office of Steven M. Sweat APC to schedule your consultation.

For this week's First Chapter Tuesday I thought I would share some intros from two books that I've just started reading!
"The order to abandon ship was given at 5 P.M. For most of the men, however, no order was needed because by then everybody knew that the ship was done and that it was time to give up trying to save her. There was no show of fear or even apprehension. They had fought unceasingly for three days and they had lost. They accepted their defeat almost apathetically. They were simply too tired to care.
Frank Wild, the second-in-command, made his way forward along the buckling deck to the crew's quarters. There, two seamen, Walter How and William Bakewell, were lying in the lower bunks. Both were very nearly exhausted from almost three days at the pumps; yet they were unable to sleep because of the sounds the ship was making.
She was being crushed. Not all at once, but slowly, a little at a time. The pressure of ten million tons of ice was driving in against her sides. And dying as she was, she cried in agony. Her frames and planking, her immense timbers, many of them almost a foot thick, screamed as the killing pressure mounted. And when her timbers could no longer stand the strain, they broke with a report like artillery fire."
I picked this book up at a library sale a few months back...and then forgot I owned it. I recently read something that mentioned the Endurance wreck and subsequent survival story and it reminded me how interested I was in this book! I'm currently reading this one and am pretty fascinated by it so far.
"The blade itself incites to deeds of violence"
"The lapping of water in his ears. That was the first thing. The lapping of water, the rustling of trees, the odd click and twitter of a bird.
Logen open his eyes a crack. Light, blurry bright through leaves. This was death? Then why did it hurt so much? His whole left side was throbbing. He tried to take a proper breath, choked, coughed up water, spat out mud. He groaned, flopped over onto this hands and knees, dragged himself up out of the river, gasping through clenched teeth, rolled onto his back in the moss and slime and rotten sticks at the water's edge.
He lay there for a moment, staring up at the grey sky beyond the black branches, breath wheezing in his raw throat.
"I am still alive," he croaked to himself. Still alive, in spite of the best efforts of nature, SHanka, men and beassts. Soaking wet and flat on his back, he started to chuckle. Reedy, gurgling laughter. Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a survivor."
I've been meaning to read this book for years now and I'm still somehow surprised that I haven't read it. This is often treated as a classic in many fantasy circles, especially in the realm of grimdark, and I am excited to finally be reading it. I'm only ~70 pages in so far, but I'm already hooked. And fun fact! I actually won my very own copy of this book as a result of last year's participating in the r/fantasy book bingo challenge!
These do sound like interesting reads!
The Endurance sounds fascinating, I'm always intrigued by those polar expeditions and the things that happened on them.
Same here! I'm a sucker for any sort of survival story, bonus points if it's polar-related.
These both sound really good. I look forward to reading your reviews on them.

You see it everywhere at this time of year: romantic cards, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, over-the-top helium balloons and extortionate restaurant prices – all because the Great British high street wants to take advantage of Valentine’s Day.
But it’s not just the Hallmarks and Clintons of the world gearing up for the big day. Fashion brands, cinemas, supermarkets and amusement parks are all joining in with the festivities, hoping to benefit from the romantic side of us.
And while some marketing campaigns tug on our heart strings, make us sigh and swoon and think of our loved ones, others seem the exact opposite effect; we cringe, gag and thank God that we’re still single so don’t have to be sucked into the ridiculousness of Valentine’s Day.
Starting off on a good note is 20th Century Fox’s banner for the upcoming Marvel film Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds stars as one of the most unconventional anti-heroes imaginable as he takes revenge on the man who destroyed his life. Needless to say, it’s not exactly the heartfelt rom-com your girlfriend was hoping for. 20th Century Fox has a bit of fun with this V-Day themed ad, suggesting that it might be a romantic flick – inviting those-in-the-know to laugh at the in-joke.
Tesco’s also been having a bit of fun with the upcoming festivities, as their employees set up some unusual displays. Also spotted around the stores were ‘Ideal for Valentine’s Day’ signs near the cucumbers and squirty cream… This may get a chuckle from some shoppers, but it’s been getting a few complaints – particularly as it’s a family friendly chain. “Mummy, why would you need a cucumber for Valentine’s day?” – need we say more?
Do you have a Marmite lover in the house? If so, this marketing campaign might be aimed at you and your significant other. Marmite is running limited edition Valentine’s Day themed jars that customers can personalise for the big day. Put your partner’s name on the top and choose from the two slogans: ‘Love me or hate me, I’m yours’, or Will you be my Valentine?’ Where the ‘yeast extract’ description normally appears, the words ‘a pot of love’ have been added. Enjoy your romantic breakfast in bed with some decadent Marmite on toast… or not.
Harry Potter fanatics can start hyperventilating now. Warner Bros. Studios Tour in London has been advertising a bewitching Valentine’s Day three-course meal for Muggles in the Great Hall. Promoted using striking imagery, the promise of drinks at Platform 9 ¾ and your own wand at the end of the night, it was bound to get mega Harry Potter fans all flustered. But you’d better have some spare cash lying around: the experience will set you back a whopping £500. In spite of the price tag, this Valentine’s Day marketing campaign has paid off – this spellbinding meal sold out very quickly.

you see it everywhere at this time of year: romantic cards, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, over-the-top helium balloons and extortionate restaurant prices – all because the great british high street wants to take advantage of valentine’s day.
but it’s not just the hallmarks and clintons of the world gearing up for the big day. fashion brands, cinemas, supermarkets and amusement parks are all joining in with the festivities, hoping to benefit from the romantic side of us.
and while some marketing campaigns tug on our heart strings, make us sigh and swoon and think of our loved ones, others seem the exact opposite effect; we cringe, gag and thank god that we’re still single so don’t have to be sucked into the ridiculousness of valentine’s day.
starting off on a good note is 20th century fox’s banner for the upcoming marvel film deadpool. ryan reynolds stars as one of the most unconventional anti-heroes imaginable as he takes revenge on the man who destroyed his life. needless to say, it’s not exactly the heartfelt rom-com your girlfriend was hoping for. 20th century fox has a bit of fun with this v-day themed ad, suggesting that it might be a romantic flick – inviting those-in-the-know to laugh at the in-joke.

A roof helps to maintain the structure of a house. But, the fact that all homeowners have a different amount of knowledge on roofs is troublesome. Paying attention to the following information can ensure you understand roofing maintenance and care.
You need to consider the climate when choosing a roof type. Roofing materials made of clay work great when the climate is dry and they help cool down homes. Clay roof tiles in rainy climates will cause your roof to deteriorate quickly. If you don’t know, ask.
Rubber boots are an important part of any roof repair. Even if the weather is warm and dry, such shoes are necessary for grip. Do not put yourself in dangerous positions when on the roof.
Make sure you do your homework before you decide on what contractor you will hire to do roof work. Don’t just hire the cheapest guy or the first one you find. Try researching various local roofers. You can do this through the Internet, get feedback from others, or utilize services that help people to find trustworthy workers.
When you’re trying to hire a roofing contractor, you need to make sure they are in possession of liability insurance. The mere existence of such a policy bodes well for a contractor’s reliability. Insurance is necessary to cover any accidents that may happen while your roof is being repaired.
If you require the services of a roofing contractor, look into his credentials and experience. Your coworkers and friends are excellent sources for referrals, reviews, and recommendations. This is vital since having terrible repairs done can cost you a lot of money.
Check roofing materials before putting new shingles up. Leaks can occur if sub-par materials are installed. Therefore, you should ensure your shingles have no cracks and that your nails are the proper length and size to completely secure your shingles.
Get references from any roofer you are thinking about hiring. A company that is honest is going to always be glad to give you a few references. If a company tries to skate by this request, look elsewhere. This is a sign that the work isn’t going to go as planned usually.
When selecting your roofer, ask how long their business has been open. This will prove that they are legitimate and can do quality work. If the contractor is new, it can be very difficult to gauge their legitimacy. It could be someone out to scam you.
Any roofing contractor you hire needs to have proper licensing and insurance. If the contractor cannot provide this information, then you need a different contractor. Poor workmanship can actually lead to more extensive damage in the long run.
A roof is truly all that stands between you and the world. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t know how to properly maintain their roof. Hopefully you have learned a few things from this article so that you can be sure that your next roofing project goes smoothly.

Recommended for oil-jacketed kettles. Designed for use on roads and highways. Very cold climates – flexible to -40°F.
CrackMaster™ 3725 is a premium quality crack and joint sealant for portland cement and asphaltic pavements. As an economical and effective preventative maintenance treatment, CrackMaster™ 3725 prolongs pavement life by sealing cracks and joints from water penetration, which cause base failure and potholes. CrackMaster™ 3725 is formulated with selected asphaltic resins, synthetic polymeric rubbers, plasticizers, stabilizers, and inorganic reinforcing fillers. It is a hot applied, one part material that provides excellent results in cold weather and throughout repeated freeze/thaw cycles. It has superior bonding characteristics to both asphalt and cement surfaces. CrackMaster™ 3725 offers high resiliency, ductility, and resistance to weathering. CrackMaster™ 3725 forms a long-lasting seal which resists tracking in warm temperatures and remains flexible in cold temperatures.
CrackMaster™ 3725 is recommended for sealing cracks and joints in portland cement, and asphaltic pavements. It is designed to seal expansion and contraction joints, longitudinal and transverse cracks, joints betwen concrete and asphaltic shoulders, and random cracks.
Use material as supplied. Do not blend with other materials. After CrackMaster™ 3725 is melted it should be agitated or recirculated.
Apply heated CrackMaster™ 3725 using either a pump and wand system or a pour pot. For best results the sealant depth to width ratio should not exceed 2 to 1 (i.e. 2-inches deep to 1-inch wide). The cooled sealant height should not exceed 1/8″ above surrounding pavement. Using a sealing shoe or squeegee, band the material 2 to 3 inches wide over the crack.
Protective apparel is recommended with application of CrackMaster™ 3725. The extremely hot material will cause severe burns on contact with skin. OSHA Safety Regulations require workers to wear the following types of safety attire (see current OSHA/Safety Regulations for additional information): Hard hat with face shield; long sleeved shirt buttoned at the wrist; heat resistant gloves; long, cuffless pants; and safety toed work boots. Make certain all area around melter is clear of all debris and flammable materials. Avoid breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation.

The Rockefeller Foundation announced Monday it will disband 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) and transition its funding into three "separate pathways": a new resilience office at the Foundation, new economic mobility efforts at the Foundation and a $30 million grant to the Adrienne Arsht Center for Resilience at the Atlantic Council.
100RC spokesman Andrew Brenner confirmed to Smart Cities Dive the organization's staff of 86 will be laid off with severance, effective July 31, following the Urban Resilience Summit in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The Foundation also announced a $12 million grant "to allow continued support and transition time to the 100 Resilient Cities network through much of 2019." 100RC's network includes Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Seattle, as well as dozens of global cities.
In the press release announcing the shuttering of 100RC, president Michael Berkowitz touted the organization's work since its launch in 2013. He noted 100RC has assisted in the hiring of more than 80 Chief Resilience Officers around the world and it is expected that 80 cities will have comprehensive resilience strategies by the end of 2019, thanks to 100RC's help. "Our work is without comparison in the urban field," he wrote, thus presenting the question of why the resilience arm is shuttering.
Matt Herrick, a spokesman for The Rockefeller Foundation, told Bloomberg the program is just "transitioning," not shutting down. Still, the transition comes at a challenging time, as cities around the globe face the consequential effects of natural disasters spurred by climate change.
Without an organization such as 100RC to act as a breeding ground for best practices and tangible projects that support the resilience of cities, member organizations — and cities that hadn't yet had the chance to join — will need to find new ways to collaborate and innovate. Berkowitz said he has "no doubt this team will continue that work in a variety of forms and organizations," yet the immediate success of that work, without the support of 100RC, remains to be seen.

Ripon Civic Society Comment: PRIDE IN THE CITY?
Three hundred years ago there was pride in the city. David Winpenny, Co-Chairman of Ripon Civic Society, asks if we can still say the same.
The recent appearance of a council employee using a high-pressure hose to clean the city-centre streets was a welcome reminder that we need to take pride in our environment. There have, in particular, been grumblings about the state of the Square, especially around the obelisk, which seems in particular to attract waste food cartons and their contents.
Pride in the city was behind the efforts of the city council, led by the MP John Aislabie, at the beginning of the 17th century, when they transformed the rough medieval Market Square into its concept of a Roman forum – the forum populi. They were led in their vision by one of England’s greatest architects, Nicholas Hawksmoor. Hawksmoor was steeped in the architecture of classical times, so his plan to pave the Square was based on ancient and Renaissance precedents – among them public spaces like Rome’s Piazza Navona. And as they often – like Navona and St Peter’s Square – had obelisks at the centre, Hawksmoor was determined that Ripon should have the same feature.
The result is Britain’s earliest surviving free-standing obelisk, erected in 1702 at a cost of £564 11s 9d – of which £334.3s 9d was paid by Aislabie. He was probably motivated by his political ambition; he later became Chancellor of the Exchequer, but resigned in disgrace. Donations, resignations – how different from our own times . . .
Of course, people in the first years of the 18th century were much the same as we are. Hawksmoor knew what they could get up to, so he designed the obelisk with rough-finished stone: ‘It is wrought thus to keep idle persons from making Letters and writing what stuff they please upon it, and doing other Mischiefs and Brutalities’, he wrote. Repairs and modifications have done away with this anti-vandal finish, and with the railings that protected the obelisk’s plinth. Gone, too, are sculptures of lions and, possibly, other heraldic beasts round the top of the plinth. And an early suggestion Hawksmoor made, for ‘a projecture that in time of rain will shelter ye market people’, was not taken up. It would have looked like a giant star sticking out at right angles about 15 feet up – and would have been very impracticable.
As Daniel Defoe noted in his ‘Tour of the Whole Island of Great Britain’, published in 1724, ‘the market place is the finest and most beautiful square that is to be seen of its kind in England. In the middle of it stands a curious column of stone, imitating the obelisks of the ancients.’ The Roman grandeur conjured up by Hawksmoor, Aislabie and the city fathers was obviously working. They saw the Market Square as the heart and the pride of the city. Would they think so today?

How did you become a restaurant manager?
Bronwyn has been the restaurant manager of King's Buffet at Crown casino for over 2 years now, after having gradually worked her way up the restaurant hierarchy.
Initially attracted to the industry because of the large number of positions available in food and beverage, Bronywn started off working part-time as a waitperson while she was still at school.
Obviously, you don't just start off in a management role. You'll need some hospitality experience first, and some employers will encourage you to undertake formal training as well, such as a Certificate III in Hospitality. You can facilitate your professional advancement too, by increasing your food and wine knowledge.
"I love meeting new people, and it's a great atmosphere - working in such a busy restaurant," says Bronwyn. Every day is different, and I'm constantly learning new things... And the pay's great too!" she says.
"My role involves organising staff rosters, ordering food and beverage, ensuring that the restaurant is up to standard (that everything is working and cleaned properly), paying invoices, budgeting, attending meetings, and working on the floor during service times," says Bronwyn.
"It's a job that requires good organisation and leadership skills, and an ability to prioritise." She adds that you'll also need to be able to work well under pressure, "I'm always on the go, and have to be proactive rather than reactive."
Perhaps even more importantly, you will need strong interpersonal skills. "You definitely need to be a people person," stresses Bronwyn.
For those interested in following such a career path, Bronwyn also reminds us that like most jobs in this industry, you should be prepared to work long hours and do shift work at times.
However, unlike a bar or waitperson, as a manager, you will also have to contend with high rates of absenteeism and high staff turnover. Your organisational skills will be continuously stretched.
"Rostering plays a big part in absenteeism. If you want to minimise problems associated with understaffing, you need to be organised, and get staff timetables in before drawing up the roster. You also need to be flexible, and take into account factors that influence staff availability, such as public transport, and so on," says Bronwyn.
Any tips for getting a job as a restaurant manager?
Bronwyn advises, "You can't afford to be weak in any areas - you need to be as good at administrative duties as you are with people but it takes experience and determination to work your way up to a management position."

how did you become a restaurant manager?
bronwyn has been the restaurant manager of king's buffet at crown casino for over 2 years now, after having gradually worked her way up the restaurant hierarchy.
initially attracted to the industry because of the large number of positions available in food and beverage, bronywn started off working part-time as a waitperson while she was still at school.
obviously, you don't just start off in a management role. you'll need some hospitality experience first, and some employers will encourage you to undertake formal training as well, such as a certificate iii in hospitality. you can facilitate your professional advancement too, by increasing your food and wine knowledge.

At the beginning of the story, most choices are to gauge who the players are, who they side with, and what their style and values are. As the story progresses, the players' values and allegiances are tested - looks like you're into cold efficiency, but are you so committed to it that you'll let families be torn apart in the process? What about your friends' families? What about yours? As the final conflict plays out, players should have a sense that they got what they wanted (assuming they went about it intelligently), but not without great cost. For this narrative that means alliances sacrificed, risks taken, and collateral damage.
After getting as many play sessions in as I can and tweaking the story choices accordingly, I'll flesh out the dialogue and do yet more testing! But for now, I'm furiously building out the skeleton to try to make the choices speak for themselves.

Make no mistake. The unprecedented arrest of Assange is what police state injustice is all about. Britain intends handing him over to US authorities to be prosecuted for the “crime” of truth-telling – putting all other independent journalists everywhere at risk.
Exposing government wrongdoing is one of the highest forms of patriotism. It involves risking personal harm and welfare for the greater good. It’s all about doing the right thing because it matters, because truth-telling on vital issues is its own reward.
When whistleblowers and journalists are criminalized for exposing government wrongdoing on the phony pretext of protecting national security or other fabricated reasons, fundamental freedoms no longer exist.
Increasingly, the US national security state targets activists, political dissidents, anti-war protestors, Muslims from the wrong countries, unwanted aliens, human rights lawyers like Lynne Stewart involved in defending the “wrong clients,” whistleblowers, and investigative journalists.
Longtime reporter/author Helen Thomas accused Obama of “controlling the press. It’s shocking. It’s really shocking,” she added.
Waging war on truth-telling journalism the way it should be is more aggressive now than ever in the US and other Western countries, highlighted by Assange’s arrest and certain prosecution in the US – likely on espionage charges on top of his current indictment, what got Chelsea Manning sentenced to 35 years imprisonment.
They’re in esteemed company. Previous US targets included Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs, Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) founder Bill Haywood, social justice advocate Emma Goldman, journalist/author/socialist activist John Reed, political activist Max Eastman, civil rights leader Philip Randolph, Social Democratic Party of America and its successor Socialist Party of America co-founder Victor Berger, human rights lawyer Lynne Stewart, among others.
Former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark one said “(o)ur jails are filled with saints” – countless numbers of politically persecuted individuals languishing in America’s global gulag.
The US honors its worst, persecutes and abuses its best and most honorable – what tyranny is all about.
Today in the US, UK, and other Western societies, fundamental freedoms are fast eroding, replaced by police state rule, tyranny over governance the way it should be.
That’s what Assange’s arrest signifies. The only solution is mass resistance, people power challenging repressive authority.
When governments ill-serve their people, they forfeit their right to rule, civil disobedience an essential tool for change.
There’s no alternative to living free and safe. If repressive ruling authorities aren’t effectively challenged and replaced by governance serving everyone equitably, we’re all doomed.

We loved the lumpias and of course the sate ajam. Also the shrimp sate was great!! So we leave filled with both joy and sadness and a few more pounds! So thank you all, not only Novi and Ani but also the funny gardener and the disciplined guard.

Hi everyone, Simcha Woitovich here with some important information that will save you tons of headaches. I have two words: cuvette rack. Get yourself one now! So it’s only fair if I explain why I feel that you need a cuvette rack so strongly. I’ve made a list of the top 10 reasons why you need a cuvette rack.
What do you think is more stable: having your 10 mm cuvette sitting on your lab bench being supported by its 12.5 mm square base; or having your 10 mm cuvette in a sturdy 5.5 inch x 2.5 inch cuvette rack?
The extra stability is the biggest reason to invest in a cuvette rack.
Another thing that I love about cuvette racks is that when I’m finished cleaning my cells, I just flip them over and let them dry in the cuvette rack. This is also a great way of letting everyone in your lab know when cells are cleaned and ready to be used because they will see the upside down cells and know they are ready to go.
The additional stability you get from using a cuvette rack is priceless. Picture this- you’re filling your 10 mm cuvette without a rack and you hit the top of the cuvette, knocking it over. You end up spilling your sample plus it is very possible that your cuvette will shatter. I’m speaking from personal experience on this one =).
All cuvette racks are made out of soft polypropylene plastics which is great because this material will not scratch your cuvettes. Only the corners and bottom of the cuvette come in contact with the cuvette rack so the optical faces are protected.
If a spill does occur on a cell rack, the polypropylene material is really easy to clean.
You just dropped $158 on a brand new quartz screw cap cell so why not invest in a $26 cuvette rack to protect your investment? This is a pretty good bang for the buck as you get enhanced protection for 12 cuvettes.
Keeping your cuvettes off the lab bench will help protect them against contamination. We mentioned this in #1 regarding stability. You don’t want someone to bump into the cuvette and knock it over. This eliminates that possibility.
An autoclave is a pressure chamber that is used to sterilize equipment. We all know how important it is to make sure your cuvettes are squeaky clean. The cell rack is safe to use in a steam autoclave at 121ºC (249ºF).
The FireflySci cuvette rack can hold 12 cuvettes. They are laid out in 2 rows of 6 cells each so it is easy to view 6 cuvettes at a time.
In addition, you can write on the cell rack with a dry-erase marker to easily label your cuvettes. When you’re done just take a dry-erase board eraser or damp paper towel and remove the marker.
When working with more than one cuvette it can be tricky when you have to transport the cuvettes to a different lab. It’s easy to put all your cuvettes in the cell rack for easy transportation.
The picture says it all. Of course we are kidding with this one, we do not recommend giving a cuvette rack to a baby to play with.
Hope you enjoyed this list. If you have any other ideas on why cuvette racks are great, let us know in the comments below.
