Key Features of Strategic Plan 2016-2020
This is a four-year strategic plan for the Civil Society Support Programme (CSSP) for the period 2016-2020. The document serves as a road map for Programming and operationalizing activities of the organization over the coming four years. The plan is coherent with the national and relevant national development policy legal frameworks. Specifically, this strategic plan of CSSP formulated by taking into consideration, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-2015, Youth Policies of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkha and Balochistan. The strategy has also been aligned with international legal and human rights instruments including the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) and the UN Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
This 'Four Years Strategic Plan' defines mission, vision, goals, objectives and strategies. It identifies both long and short term strategic objectives and provides with effective strategies to achieve these objectives. The progress of this plan will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and a mid-term review will be held in December 2016.
This strategic plan examines the effective utility of our comparative advantage as a right-based organization, prioritize our scarce resources to areas of greatest need and avoid of duplication with the work of other NGOs. This strategic plan also reaffirms the organization's commitment to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and coherent with the regulations of the Pakistan`s laws and frameworks for the civil society organizations.
Under the key revised themes CSSP has set specific objectives contributing to the vision.
Themes Strategic Objectives
Youth Capacitated & engaged youth groups and organizations in building a democratic and just society..
Education Enhanced role of citizens and institutions for the improvement of education at policy & practice
Democratic Governance Increased responsiveness of citizens and institutions with integrated and participatory engagement.
Institutional Development Strengthening citizens & social watch groups to promote & protect basic human rights & inter faith harmony
Strategic Planning Development Process
This is CSSP's first Strategic Plan for period of 2016 to 2020. Participatory engagement is core institutional value of CSSP, therefore a rigorous consultation process was followed by engaging CSSP Board, Staff, strategic planning experts and community representatives. The process critically reviewed the past achievements, analysis of external and internal context and setting strategic directions for upcoming years. Excel Development consultancy firm approved by Board of Directors was hired to develop the plan.
Analyzing External and Internal Context
Understanding the external and internal context is prerequisite in developing the organizational strategic planning that further contributes in Sustainable Development Goals by mainstreaming inclusiveness in development process. CSSP used the tool of PEST analysis to identify the main opportunities and threats in the working area. CSSP team and board of directors had the detailed working on the internal and external context and conducted SWOC analysis of CSSP. This analysis have provided opportunities to work towards just society and these contexts are push for CSSP for revisiting its programs, goals and objectives.
External Context:
Political and Governance situation
Unlike in many developing countries in South Asia, Pakistan political system is indented with influence of dynasties losing its roots in people. In spite of democracy prevailing since last decade with pavilion of decentralization, the performance of governance is unsatisfactory to address the concern of common man. Unsatisfactory governance is widely identified as the crucial drag on development as reflected in both Government and the Civil Society Organizations. Addressing issues of bad governance has frequently been treated as one of the crosscutting agenda in development plans along with other critical factors such as gender equity, poor governance and weak institutions, law and order situation, corruption, unemployment etc.
Moreover the civil engagement with the government and civil society is most important. In case of government, the engagement plans are not available to witness the participatory governance. Public do not have alternative political forums and such vacuum of political representation has created frustration in the public mainly in local youth, which is deprived of jobs, resources and other opportunities.
As a result of poor governance, families affected of flood in 2010 are still in no place. After loss of livelihoods and assets, thousands of families in Sindh, Punjab and KPK have not been able to restore to their previous normal lives.
Citizen empowerment index and development index are extremely low. Extreme poverty and slavery are still fate of millions of families, which is basically poor legal, and policy framework and its implementation. In these parts, feudalism has deprived people of rural areas from their fundamental rights to education, health, social and economic mobility and the rights to association and expression.
Education crisis
Educational indicators of Pakistan are still dismally low, although steady progress has been noticed during last few decades. At present, about one third primary school age children are out of school, 42% population (age 10+) is illiterate. Wide discrepancies persist in education indicators pertaining to provinces/areas, location (urban vs. rural) and gender. At the national level, about two third women of age 15+ cannot read and write, and 35% girls remain out of school. Gender Parity Index in case of participation in primary education is 0.82. It is estimated that over 6.7 million children are out of school, and majority of them (62%) are girls .
Apart of statistics on state of education, the curriculum and text is not cohesive with changed scenario of country's social deprivation, political alienation and religious intolerance
In Pakistan, CSSP has witnessed growing religious disharmony which has created cushion for opportunists to exploit religious forums for their vested interests. At the same time, millions of out of school children and declining educational standards have left children and youth to be victims of opportunists' whims. In the absence of effective social protection systems and mechanisms, poor is becoming more poor and unable to come out of the vicious circle of poverty. Such as the case of bonded labourers, they are caught in an unending trap of miserable life that goes generation to generation; basically, poverty and lack of implementation of related laws have contributed a lot in their miseries.
Youth Integration crisis
In Pakistan, youth constitute 28% of total population and around 54 million or 68% of those are below the age of 30 years (Ministry of Education, Youth in Development Pakistan, 2009). In Pakistan, youth is in search of findings forums of their representations, their energies are wasted in non-productive and non-political activities. There is a huge political vacuum, youth is waiting for alternatives. Moreover youth is isolated from development process; except few government led programs, the scope of interventions have been limited to address broader spectrum of youth needs.
In result of national, regional and international activities and policies of different stakeholders, Pakistan is facing serious challenge of radicalism and militancy, which is also badly affected and involved youth.
At regional and global level, Pakistan is considered security state with millions of poor people and many of them victims of modern slavery. Pakistan is poorly spending on health, social welfare, social protection and education but lavishly on making bullets and tanks. Since health, education and social protection have never been priority of Pakistan, therefore, young and minor children are easily become prey of terrorist groups for commit suicide attacks on public and private properties.
In general youth living in rural areas have lesser exposure and awareness as compared to urban counterparts. Consequently they are still entrenched in vicious cycle of cultural poverty. The changing trends in rural economy from crop sharing to daily wage labour based is further limiting the employability capacity in agriculture sector and tends forced urbanization
Internal Context
The internal context analysis was conducted through the SWOT. The CSSP team conducted the SWOT analysis initially and later the detailed SWOC analysis was conducted by the BOD with the help of facilitator. Following can be read as the participatory analysis of CSSP with critical review. While analysing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats/challenges, all the aspects of programme delivery and management have been kept in mind.
Strengths Opportunities
Proactive board
Democratic and inclusive approach
Presence in 38 districts of four provinces in Pakistan
Developed network of more than three thousand youth across Pakistan
Alliance building on different social and political issues
17 approved organizational policies and procedures
Availability of youth and youth networks at grassroots level
Local political parties are eager to get support from civil society organizations
Underutilized researches on health, education and social protection
The increasing trends of social entrepreneurship
Weaknesses Threats
Rapid expansion rather consolidation of the work
Shortage of human resources especially in M & E and HR section
Lack of compliance on policies and procedures
Less focus upon networking and linkage building at provincial and federal head quarters
No publication of annual reports, case studies etc
No physical presence/ offices in capital cities/ Islamabad and Karachi.
Staff development plan is not properly developed
Increasing culture of intolerance
Rise of religious extremism
Disrminative behaviors towards religious minorities
Increasing influence of political religious parties
Strong feudalism influence
Mushrooming of unregistered madrassas due to failure of formal education system
Hate material in curriculum
Over the periods of 8 years and lessons learnt from interventions; CSSP has realized to scale up the existing interventions and found potential for deepening. Besides scaling up and expansion, it was also felt to re-align the themes with current global and national scenario.
CSSP defines its operating niche by taking into account definition and analysis of its institutional mandate and scope of its work, analysis of external environment to determine real and felt needs of society; and analysis of internal environment that establishes the capability and areas of growth of the organization to effectively accomplish its mission and realise its vision.
The strategic Plan 2016-2020 serves as a road map for Programming and operationalizing activities of the organization over the coming five year. The plan is coherent with the relevant thematic national and provincial policies and legal frameworks. Specifically, this strategic plan of CSSP formulated by taking into consideration, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)-2015-30, Youth Policies of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkha and Balochistan. The strategy has also been aligned with international legal and human rights instruments including the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC) and the UN Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
The Civil Society Support Programme (CSSP) is a non-profit civil society organization emerged as a response to the challenges facing by civil society of Pakistan with regards to the fight against poverty, social injustice, and governance issues in Pakistan. It was established in 2005 and got registration under Societies Act – 1860.

We decided that we'd spend our last day just relaxing around the condo. We had done so much every day filling each day to its fullest, and we just wanted to have an easy agenda. So, we set off to the beach to enjoy the sea and sand, and a picnic lunch. Boy did we get a work out carrying lunch, towels, four chairs, an umbrella, and… oh yeah two kiddos! It was a lot of work for just a few hours of fun, but well worth it. Both boys love jumping waves, and playing in the water.
After spending a few hours at the beach, we decided that it was time for Mason to get a nap in the stroller and for Parker to enjoy the pool for a little bit. Parker had such a blast in the pool. He was kicking and learning to swim. He even loved being thrown in the air and splashing back in the water.
After dinner, we decided to take a walk, and head next door where we stayed last year at Silver Shells to see if anything had changed in a year. Sure enough, they had put in a nice playground on their property. The kiddos enjoyed running off some energy before night fell and it was time to end our vacation.
We had such a wonderful time, and we loved some of the simple things that we did… like reading a new favorite book "snuggle puppy" and acting silly before bedtime, watching the boys have fun with their grandparents, and listening to the boys laugh and giggle at each other before bedtime. It was a nice relaxing time, and Parker said it best when he would continually say during our trip "I want to go on vacation AGAIN and AGAIN!".
You are getting sooooooo good with the camera. That first picture of Mason is too funny.

When Made
Public Description:
Trevor 'Turbo' Brown loves animals and has created a body of work entirely based around them. This painting shows a parade of echidnas moving across the landscape under a bright blue sky. 'Turbo''s work may seem naïve with its simple forms, but there is a great energy and skill in his use of composition, colour and line. He uses bright colours and bold outlines, painting quickly with unmixed acrylic paint.
Living rough on the Mildura streets and the Murray River bank, 'Turbo' has said that animals were his only friends. He was adopted by Herb Patten and his wife, Aunty Bunta and moved to Melbourne where he took up boxing and became a keen rapper and breakdancer. Uncle Herb and Aunty Bunta enrolled in a diploma of visual arts at the Bundoora RMIT campus and took 'Turbo' along. There he began to paint. It soon became apparent that he had a talent for expressing on canvas the stories and images from his mind.
'Turbo' completed a Diploma of Arts (Visual Arts) from RMIT Melbourne, which he completed in 2004 and had his first solo exhibition at the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne, was a sell-out. HIs work is now held in a number of significant collections. Trevor 'Turbo' Brown passed away in 2017

If you step into almost any classic French bistro, you'll find a croque monsieur or croque madame on their lunch menu. It's the French version of our "club sandwich" here in the States, in regards to popularity and its widespread presence.
A croque madame (or croque monsieur), however, is far cheesier and tastier than the club sandwich. The difference between a croque monsieur and a croque madame is the presence of the fried egg, which only exists on the croque madame.
The fried egg on top is actually what inspired me to create a croque madame recipe for breakfast, rather than lunch.
The basic ingredients for a classic croque madame recipe are bread, ham, cheese, bechamel sauce, a little dijon, and a fried egg.
I kept all of those indulgent ingredients, but swapped out the bread and used Belgian-style waffles instead. This is an easy swap for me because every time I make waffles at home, I end up with extra, which I then freeze for later use.
But if you don't have waffles on hand for this croque madame recipe, then you can easily use store-bought waffles to make the process just as easy.
The first step in following a croque madame recipe is to create a bechamel sauce, which consists of flour, butter, and milk. You'll want to have the sauce ready for your final assembly of the sandwich.
The first waffle gets smeared in some dijon, then topped with the ham slices and some shredded gruyere cheese. It's warmed in the oven until the cheese melts, then topped with the second waffle.
The beauty of using a waffle really shines through here because when you pour the bechamel sauce on the top of the sandwich, the crevices of the waffle catch all that glorious sauce and keep it from dripping off the sandwich. The sandwich then gets topped with more shredded cheese and put under the broiler so that the cheese can melt and bubble properly.
A fried egg is placed on top as the finishing touch for this croque madame recipe. I like to fry my egg until the yolk is set because I often split the sandwich in half, but feel free to make it runny if you don't mind a little mess; this sandwich is definitely worth it!
A breakfast sandwich made of ham and cheese sandwiched between two waffles and topped with creamy white sauce and a fried egg.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Begin by creating the bechamel sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it's hot and steam is rising from it, but don't let it boil! In a separate medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk to combine. After about a minute, the roux (butter and flour) should become bubbly and hot. Stream the hot milk into the prepared roux, whisking vigorously as you do. Set the saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk until it's thick and coats the back of a spoon. Add small pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Temporarily set aside.
Set one of the waffles on a small baking sheet. Smear the dijon mustard inside the crevices of the waffle. Top with the 3 slices of ham, rolling the slices first to get them to neatly fit side-by-side.
Add half of the shredded cheese on top of the ham. Toast this open-faced sandwich in the oven until the cheese has melted - about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the remaining waffle to the top of the sandwich. Pour the bechamel sauce into the crevices of the top waffle. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top. Place under the broiler in the oven for a minute or two, or until the cheese has all melted and becomes bubbly.
Before serving, place the fried egg on top along with a sprinkle of thyme leaves.
Oh my, Beeta! This is pure genius! And your photos are so beautiful! My stomach literally just growled… did you hear it? 😉 I'm sorry, but the club sandwich ain't got nothing on a croque monsieur or croque madame – they are SO good! And I just love how you've made this into an amazing brunch item with the Belgium waffles – just brilliant! Next time I make waffles (it's going to have to be this weekend), I'm making these for sure!
Beeta, this looks sensational! I have always wanted to go to Paris JUST to get my hands on one of these.. and yours looks so good! Also I love love love your new design! It is so simple and beautiful. Honestly, i'm just poking around looking at everything!
Thanks, Marissa! I am totally with you – the egg is just golden!
Thanks so much, Tamara! I will definitely share on social media – thank you!

Concepts of land and ownership in Canada at centre of upcoming Brock panel discussion
Thursday, November 04, 2021 | By gminaker
Image caption: Artist and educator Adrian Blackwell (left) and architect David Fortin (right) will be co-moderating an upcoming online roundtable discussion about land ownership in Canada.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 03, 2021 | by Gillian Minaker
An upcoming Brock University panel discussion will bring together distinguished Indigenous and other artists, designers and architects to reimagine Canadian cities towards a more inclusive future.
Presented by the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture (STAC) and Department of Visual Arts (VISA), "Rethinking Property in c\a\n\a\d\a" will be hosted as a Zoom webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and is open to the Brock and wider community.
The online event will be co-moderated by artist and educator Adrian Blackwell, Associate Professor, School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo, whose art practice spans photography, video, sculpture, urban theory and design; and David Fortin (Métis Nation of Ontario), a LEED-accredited professional and registered architect. Fortin is also a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) Indigenous Task Force that seeks ways to foster and promote Indigenous design in Canada.
The discussion will bring together a diverse group of panelists, including artist Bonnie Devine (Genaabaajing First Nation), Founding Chair of the Indigenous Visual Culture program at OCAD University and winner of the 2021 Governor General Award in Visual and Media Arts; landscape architect Tiffany Kaewen Dang, a territorial scholar from Treaty 6 Territory in Edmonton, Alta.; and Luugigyoo Patrick Reid Stewart (Nisga'a, B.C.), the first Indigenous president of an architectural association in Canada and the first Indigenous person in B.C. to own and operate an architectural firm.
Rethinking Property in c\a\n\a\d\a is the first of four events in a series called Fictive Architecture presented by STAC. The series is funded through a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Connection Grant, with matching funds from the Office of the Vice-President, Research at Brock University.
Catherine Parayre, Associate Professor and Director of STAC's Research Centre in Interdisciplinary Arts and Creative Culture, said these events will provide a creative and intellectual environment for all participants to express and debate views, sharing experiences that touch on personal perspectives or matters of social urgency.
"This series is part of the activities of the Research Centre in Interdisciplinary Arts and Creative Culture, whose vision is predicated on the fact that researchers and creators, no matter their discipline, share a passion and drive for their subject in which creativity is often at the root of their unique vision or forms of inquiry."
The series is also connected to STAC's Small Walker Press (SWP), a small innovative publishing house that produces two companion books each year as part of the Walker Cultural Leader Series. Blackwell is one of the artists (along with Landon Mackenzie) who will contribute to the 2022 SWP publications informed by the roundtable discussion.
Derek Knight, Associate Professor, History of Art and Visual Culture and co-editor for the Small Walker Press, said this timely panel promises to be informative, far-reaching and will posit new, inclusive ways of re-imagining the land, concepts of ownership and shelter in Canada.
"Blackwell is committed to thinking about new ways of interacting with our built environs, especially at this critical time in which decolonialization brings into focus the pressing need to resolve the challenge of unceded territories and respect the role of First Peoples as integral to how we re-envision Canada in the future," Knight said.
The webinar is free to attend, although registration is required through the Zoom event web page.

Image caption: The Small Walker Press has announced two new spring publications: Arc, a choreographed poem and Improvising Places / Improvising Time.
Originally published in The Brock News on TUESDAY, MAY 04, 2021 | by Gillian Minaker
The Small Walker Press (SWP) is announcing two new spring publications with an online book launch page.
With in-person book launches still on hold due to public health restrictions, the innovative publishing house within Brock's Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) opted for a virtual celebration.
The online launch page features two new books: Arc, a choreographed poem written by Paul Savoie with accompanying choreography by Mélanie Mesager, and Improvising Places / Improvising Time with music notation by Devon Fornelli, creative writing by Thomas Ayouti and essays by Derek Knight and Matthew Royal. Graphic design for both publications was done by Bernhard Cella.
The concept for the books, "music and choreography," was outlined by Small Walker Press editors Catherine Parayre, Associate Professor and Director of the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture, and Derek Knight, Associate Professor of Visual Arts. The creative texts were inspired by these themes, drawing on inspiration from participating artists incorporating dance, music and creative writing.
The book launch page features excerpts from the publications as well as notes from both SWP editors.

Book publishing division launched by Brock's Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture
Monday, May 06, 2019 | By sackles
Brock's Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture is launching two new books, Inland and The Quarry, through the new Small Walker Press.
Brock's Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture (STAC) has partnered with The Salon für Kunstbuch in Austria to launch an international book publishing division.
The new Small Walker Press will celebrate the publication of its first two books at an official launch event on Thursday, May 9 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event will take place in the main lobby of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) at 15 Artists' Common in downtown St. Catharines.
This year's books were published under the theme of environmental degradation and include Inland, by Associate Professor of Visual Arts Shawn Serfas with creative writing by Atlanta-based New York Times journalist Richard Fausset and an essay by Associate Professor of Visual Arts Derek Knight, and The Quarry, by Associate Professor Adam Dickinson and artist Lorène Bourgeois.
Noelle Allen, Publisher for Hamilton-based literary press Wolsak and Wynn, will be the guest speaker for the event.
The launch is free and all are encouraged to attend.
"The University is the ideal place to promote book culture," said STAC Director Catherine Parayre. "Working with different authors and artists to bring about the completion of a book project is a fully interdisciplinary challenge that is rewarding intellectually, but also a wonderful opportunity to work with expert graphic designers."
Headed by STAC, the Small Walker Press addresses the research and creative interests of faculty members at Brock's MIWSFPA and engages with authors, artists and academics alike to produce small, innovative publications.
Funded by the generous support of the Walker Cultural Leader Series and the late Marilyn I. Walker, the press publishes collaborative work that brings together authors and artists from the Niagara region, as well as those across Canada and internationally.
Parayre and Knight serve as its editors; Bernhard Cella, from The Salon für Kunstbuch in Vienna, Austria, is the press's book designer.
Inland provides two distinct reflections on pollution and the consequences of human intervention on natural resources. It features work created by Serfas for his 2016 exhibition Inland, curated by Stuart Reid at Rodman Hall Art Centre, and creative writing by Fausset, whose work includes extensive coverage of the devastating environmental and socio-economic impacts of Hurricane Katrina.
The Quarry offers a reflection on a walk that Dickinson and Bourgeois embarked upon through the Glenridge Quarry Naturalization Site on the Niagara Escarpment in 2018. Dickinson contributes a poem for the book, which is accompanied by drawings by Bourgeois.
"We are very much looking forward to sharing these books with the public at the launch on May 9," Parayre said.
The Small Walker Press is predicated on, and values, interdisciplinary co-operation, the exploration of image and text, and seeks to contribute to and participate in the promotion of book culture.
Publications will include exhibition catalogues, artist's books, chapbooks, short essay format and creative writing as well as online art folios or editions, and recorded sound work or interviews.
Publications may be in English, French or other languages and books will be available for purchase at the launch.
They will also be available at Rodman Hall Art Centre, the Brock Campus Store, and The Salon für Kunstbuch in Vienna, Austria.

New art exhibition the product of student collaboration
Thursday, March 28, 2019 | By Brock University
Quality Family Time (and Space), a piece by Brock alumna Emily Andrews (BA '11), is part of the new Erasures exhibit that will run from April 2 to 27 in the VISA Art Gallery and Student Exhibition Space at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. An opening reception is set for Thursday, April 4 from 5 to 8 p.m.
(From The Brock News, March 27, 2019 | By: Jaquelyn Bezaire)
While they're known for correcting errors, erasures are signs of progress and an expanding imagination.
Students in Brock's Visual Arts (VISA) and Studies in Arts and Culture (STAC) programs will explore this theme in a new collaborative art exhibit on view from Tuesday, April 2 to Saturday, April 27.
The exhibit, Erasures, will be open to the public in the VISA Art Gallery and Student Exhibition Space at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) in downtown St. Catharines.
An opening reception will be held in the gallery on Thursday, April 4, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Led by Shawn Serfas, Associate Professor of Visual Arts, and Catherine Parayre, Director of the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture, students enrolled in VISA 4P03/4P04 and STAC 3P01 worked together to create a show that features paintings and text that thematize different types of erasures.
The work ranges from the exploration of scenes lacking important elements, simplified adaptations of existing artworks and abstracted forms of figurative objects.
Short written statements commenting on well-known recent artworks accompany the paintings to provide further context.
Serfas and Parayre frequently bring students from different backgrounds together to collaborate on creative endeavours.
"It has been an enriching learning experience, for both the students and the instructors," Parayre said of working with the students on Erasures.
The exhibition evokes transformations and process, an important theme in both Serfas' senior studio courses and Parayre's Media Transformations in the Creative Arts course.
Whether in visual expressions or in texts, Parayre added, erasures are invitations to scrutinize, read and interpret, which is exactly what the public is encouraged to do at the upcoming exhibition.
Erasures runs from April 2 to 27 in the VISA Art Gallery and Student Exhibition Space at the MIWSFPA in downtown St. Catharines. The gallery is open to the public Tuesdays to Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m.

Canadian poet Adam Dickinson to reflect on human impact to our environment in upcoming Author Talk March 18
Friday, March 15, 2019 | By sackles
(From The Brock News, March 15, 2019 | By: Sarah Ackles)
Join Brock Associate Professor Adam Dickinson as he uses poetry to explore the dramatic impact humans have made on Earth's climate, geology and biological makeup.
Presented by the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture (STAC), Dickinson's talk will be the next presentation in the Walker Cultural Leaders Series. It will take place on Monday, March 18, from 8 to 9 p.m., in room 211 of the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA).
"Writing in the Anthropocene: Poetics and the Environment" will focus on the intersections between poetry and science as a way of exploring new ecocritical perspectives and alternative modes of poetic composition.
Catherine Parayre, Director of STAC, said Dickinson is a fitting artist to welcome to the Walker Cultural Leaders Series this year because of his involvement with the Centre's new Small Walker Press.
Officially launching this spring, the press publishes books by artists and authors working together on a given theme.
"The Small Walker Press is publishing works on the theme of environmental degradation this year, and Adam Dickinson's work perfectly aligns with it," explained Parayre. "He was inspired to write his contribution to the press after a walk he took with artist Lorène Bourgeois at Glenridge Quarry in the Fall of 2018."
Dickinson is an award-winning poet whose work has been featured at prominent international literary festivals such as Poetry International in Rotterdam, The Harbourfront International Festival of Authors in Toronto, and the Oslo International Poetry Festival in Norway.
He is perhaps best known for his work The Polymers (2013), which was a shortlisted finalist for the Governor General's Award for English-language poetry at the 2013 Governor General's Awards, the 2014 ReLit Award for Poetry and for the 2014 Trillium Book Award.
He is also the author of Cartography and Walking (2002), Kingdom, Phylum (2006) and Anatomic (2018).
His poem "My Fear of Being Eaten" will appear alongside art by Lorène Bourgeois in the forthcoming Quarry, to be published by The Small Walker Press later this year.
His upcoming author's talk is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
For more information, please contact Catherine Parayre at cparayre@brocku.ca

Community voices expressed through Brock art exhibitions
Friday, December 07, 2018 | By Brock University
Curt Richard, a student in VISA 3M90, surveys the exhibition that he and 52 other students have completed over the course of the semester. Manifestos in a Room is a collaboration between students in French, Visual Arts, and Studies in Art and Culture. It will be on display at Rodman Hall Art Centre until Dec. 30.
(From The Brock News, Friday, Dec. 7, 2018 | By: Alison Innes)
Two Brock art exhibitions now on display are working to celebrate and amplify community voices.
Manifestos in a Room and Sauti za Afrika/African Voices/Voix Africaines were each created to engage with Northern Oracle, an exhibition by Heather Hart currently being featured at Rodman Hall Art Centre.
Through the exhibition, which includes an indoor rooftop installation, Hart asks visitors what they want to say to the world and advises them to shout it from the rooftop.
Reflecting on Northern Oracle, 53 students in Visual Arts, Studies in Arts and Culture, and French came together to create their own statements, whether poetic, absurd or political. The expressions — in both English and French — were used to create Manifestos in a Room, on display in Rodman Hall's Studio Gallery.
Students worked throughout the fall semester to bring the exhibition, curated by Associate Professor Catherine Parayre and instructor Donna Akrey, to life.
Jean Ntakirutimana, Chair of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, demonstrates the talking drum used to send messages over long distances in Cameroon. With careful training, a person could use the different tones produced by the drum to send messages. The drum is just one of the items on display in Sauti za Afrika/ African Voices/ Voix Africaines, an exhibition celebrating voices of Niagara's African diaspora community.
"It really helps to collaborate in one's art practice," said Akrey, whose art students were involved in the project.
"We also did an assembly line production to create some of the work, which was fun and rewarding. I was impressed with how the 3M90 students embraced this project and made sense of it for the viewing public."
For the participating French students, the exhibition was a "great opportunity to practice writing constraints for fun," said Parayre. "Students produced facetious manifestos, writing eloquently on a light-hearted topic. It allowed all of us to put our creative forces together and share a common space."
The exhibition includes a visual component as well as a three-minute audio track created by the students.
Over at Brock's main campus, the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures (MLLC) is hosting Sauti za Afrika/African Voices/Voix Africaines, an exhibition meant to amplify the voices of the African diaspora in Niagara. Featuring 12 different languages, the exhibition combines modern writing with ancient traditions of communication.
The display features instruments and figurines used for communication, such as a conch shell, similar to the one used to call for revolution in Haiti, and miniature replicas of Burundi drums used by royalty to communicate with their people.
Also included is an intricately carved cow horn used to call people to come and hear the chief speak in certain regions of Africa, said Department Chair and Associate Professor Jean Ntakirutimana.
Ntakirutimana worked with members of Niagara's African diaspora and Sofifran (Solidarité des femmes et familles immigrantes francophones du Niagara) to collect people's hopes, dreams and concerns to include in the display. Members have also loaned their personal objects for the exhibition.
The display is a precursor to an event by the same name coming up in February. Co-hosted by Sofifran, MLLC and Studies in Arts and Culture, the event will be held at Rodman Hall and will also engage with Northern Oracle.
Sauti za Afrika/African Voices/Voix Africaines is a part of the Museum in the Hallway project, curated by Parayre. Located in the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures (Mackenzie Chown A-block), the project features rotating monthly displays.
Both African Voices and Manifestos in A Room will be on display until the end of December. Northern Oracle will be at Rodman Hall until March 3.

Your Chance to Invest
Club Investment
Invest in your club
Invest in your community
Thanks to the hard work and the success of previous fundraising efforts, Mungret St.Pauls GAA acquired new lands for the club development plan. The next stage is to develop top-class facilities for all our Gaelic games and all our members.
These new pitches are being built for everyone, but it is you, our members, friends, and supporters, who are the cement that binds this community together. Without your support and commitment, no development project on its own could ever hope to create a community.
The quickly growing demographic, in conjunction with a huge increase in playing numbers, requires new and state-of-the-art facilities.
Your support can shape our future!
Development Plan Phasing
Middle Pitch
Pitches planned in Phase 1
Ball Wall
Astroturf Pitch
If the club's funding plan is successful, it is proposed that the Middle Pitch, Ball Wall and Astroturf will be completed in Phase 1. This will also include all necessary site works to enable the development, along with access roads, street lighting and footpaths.
All three pitches will be fitted with floodlights and fencing.
Development Timeline
Order Equipment/materials

Development Budget
Mungret St. Pauls are in the process on signing off on final designs and specifications. Planning permission is in place for the middle pitch, and we are currently in the process of planning permission for our master plan.
We will soon be going to tender to several specialist contractors. The overview of the budget is outlined below. Our success in fundraising will determine the overall project timeline.
Our budget estimate for Phase 1 of the master plan is in the order of €1,650,000 which includes the following works;
• Middle Pitch, Floodlights, Goals, Netting & Fencing
• Astroturf Pitch, Floodlights, Goals, Netting & Fencing
• Ball Wall, Floodlights, Netting & Fencing
• Juvenile training pitch/area
• Roads, paths, parking, lighting and general groundworks
• Electrical works, ESB connection & generator
• Design fee's, Archaeologist, Agronomist, etc..
• Contingency sum & VAT
Mungret St. Pauls GAA are committed to keep all members up to date with progress once construction starts. We will have regular updates to all our members on progress and milestones achieved.
How Your Investment Works
We have successfully applied for the club to be classed as an Approved Sports Body with Revenue. The project has been approved by the Department of Media, Tourism, Arts Culture Sport and the Gaeltacht. This entitles the club to claim tax relief on qualifying donations made.
TAX RELIEF ON DONATIONS TO SPORTING BODIES FOR APPROVED PROJECTS
Following are examples of how this system works for PAYE Taxpayers:
Donations from PAYE Taxpayers:
For PAYE workers your contribution is paid from after-tax income, and provided you donate at least €250 in the calendar year, Mungret St Pauls GAA can claim a refund on the tax you have already paid on the donation. The tax rebate costs the
donor nothing extra but provides a huge additional benefit to the Club as a result of your donation.
Below is a summary of the potential benefit to the club under a number of monthly payment scenarios. Tax rebates are also available to the Club at a similar level if you pay annually or through a once-off lump sum.
Note :- Tax can only be claimed once the donors contribute a minimum of €250 per annum.
Donations from NON - PAYE Taxpayers:
If you individually or jointly pay any tax under the self-assessment scheme, in your tax return you can directly claim tax relief on your donations. For example, if a self-assessed individual, who pays income tax at the higher rate of 40%, makes a donation of €1,000 to the Club, the value of that donation to the Club is €1,000. However, the actual cost of the donation to the individual may be calculated as follows:
• Donation received by the Club €1,000
• Tax relief available to the donor €400
• Actual after-tax cost of donation to the donor €600
In summary, if self-assessed, individuals are personally entitled to claim tax relief for donations.
If you would like more information on the scheme, please click here
There are three investment options being offered, and for each option there are three amounts that can be selected.
All funds raised will be ring fenced for the "Club Development Plan" and all investors will be kept up to date with progress reports.
Mungret St. Pauls are currently considering the options to improve our facilities as a Community Centre for our rapidly growing area.
These include a new Clubhouse with a sports hall that can cater to numerous sporting activities, walkway, expanded gym for all club members, upgrades to existing Community Hall to allow for expanded use by the wider community.
Further information around funding, planning permission & costings are required but we are very excited about these projects and we are eager to make them all happen.
Proposed new Clubhouse with Sports Hall


Home-Made Training - The ''How To'' Guide!
Rumour has it you need to have a gym with all of the latest equipment at your disposal to really build an impressive physique, not the case!! In fact, you don't even need a gym to do so. What you do need is some imagination, effort and maybe a little space. Sure in an ideal world a gym and correct exercise equipment is going to be best but if you ever get caught at a time when these aren't viable options then you need to think about other options. This article is going to cover the best ways to get a solid workout done at home or in the park which will ensure torching fat is always an option!
Body weight training can be as brutal as you want it to be therefore getting an intense session done outside of the gym really shouldn't be an issue. Squats, pull ups, press ups, lunges, upside down press ups, close grip press ups, crunches, lying knee raises, squat thrusts and a whole host of other exercises make putting together a challenging circuit easy enough, all with your body weight.
To keep the circuit challenging and somewhat brutal focus on adding in ''all out'' bursts where either you sprint or replicate that intensity with another form of exercise. This will elevate your heart rate for some time promoting calorie burning for the next 24-36 hours!!
If you are a seasoned gym goer and you are able to throw reasonable poundages around you could be forgiven for thinking that body weight exercises aren't going to be hard enough. Rest assured, we can sort that one out for you!! Focus on time under tension, using a 2 second rule throughout the rep – 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down and a 2 seconds pause at either end. Very quickly your body weight will begin to feel like it has doubled over night!!
To get the most out of your home-made training circuit make sure you include exercises for each area of the body. This will help make the workout more taxing based on the fact that you are creating a bigger oxygen debt stimulating more muscle fibres throughout the body!
Just like point 3, body weight training doesn't have to be easy! Doing 10 reps of your body weight with squats will get you panting a little, doing 50 slow, controlled reps using the 2 second rule (just up and down in this instance) will make you discover levels of muscular pain you never knew existed!!
Getting the ''job done'' is not beyond your reach, even when a gym isn't easily accessible.

Huawei P20 Lite surprisingly passes through the FCC with an odd 19:9 resolution
Andrew	Feb 7th, 2018
Things have been a bit more than confusing on Huawei's front over the last couple of months as the company prepares to unveil its 2018 flagship lineup. At first, reports claimed that Huawei wouldn't be hosting any events at MWC 2018 in a few weeks, thanks to Samsung's plans to unveil the Galaxy S9 lineup.
Then, these reports were seemingly confirmed after Huawei began sending press invitations for an event in Paris where it would unveil "flagship devices". We know these devices will fall in the Huawei P20 lineup, but there's a chance we could see at least one new P20 device at MWC 2018.
Part of the reason we believe the Huawei P20 Lite could make an appearance at MWC 2018 is due to the fact that the device has just passed through FCC regulations. These filings reveal a few pieces of information regarding the P20 Lite, including dimensions, battery size, and….a notch.
That's right, according to the FCC filing, the P20 Lite will feature a display measuring around 6-inches, and will come equipped with a resolution of 2280 x 1080. If that number looks a bit odd to you, it should, as it works out to an aspect ratio of 19:9, which is even larger than the recent slew of 18:9 displays that have taken over the smartphone world.
As for the battery, the P20 Lite will feature a 2,900mAh battery, which is justifiably smaller than what we are expecting to see from the standard Huawei P20 and the larger Huawei P20 Plus. On the dimensions front, the P20 Lite is 148mm tall and 70mm wide, which means that the screen could be truly bezel-less when everything is all said and done.
Unfortunately, the FCC filing does not share any information regarding the camera system that will be used. This just means that we'll be left in the dark for a bit longer about whether the Huawei P20 lineup will truly feature three rear-mounted cameras.

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm messing around on youtube. Here are some gems I've stumbled cross.
First up, what might an honest and upfront conversation with a particular type of student look like? Oh dear, oh dear! Go on, admit it, you smiled, just a little bit…..
Second up: there are a number of these type of videos blowing about on youtube and to say they annoy me is putting it mildly. No, I don't have a problem with the message. There is a lot of truth in the message. I have a problem with how it's put across. Isn't it ironic that the kids are using hand-written cards to get across the message that they want to use more technology? And why are they so glum? Cheer up, for crying out loud, and go read a book.
Actually the video reminded me of a comment I read recently (apologies, I cannot remember the site) from a first year undergraduate complaining that they don't do anything interesting in IT class Instead they spend the time doing the ECDL syllabus. While I commiserated with the student's position, the student needs to know that syllabi are not always decided by the teachers who deliver it, quality control procedures typically mean that a syllabus cannot be deviated from much, what one student considers boring is highly stimulating to another, and finally, ECDL is a good foundation in IT. A problem is that ECDL might not been studied by all students in their prior learning while others proudly show off their certificates. This causes particular problems for a teacher – what do you do when the majority of a class have already done all the material while it's brand new for a sizable minority – without causing feelings of inferiority / superiority, without operating double standards, etc?
Third on the list: I quite like the ideas in this one, even if the whole thing is meant to be a parody. The iPaper is an interesting idea in and of itself.
Fourth is another futuristic one. This one takes a pot shot at the nonotechnology movement. How small can things really get? Have we reached the practical limits on size? Or, the more likely scenario, are there applications out there for tinytech that we are still exploring – those applications are just not the ones we already have?
And, finally, a century of educational technology chronicled in one youtube video. The early part of the 20th century had the radio, gramaphone, and the silent / talkies movies but not all educators used them. Then along came WW2 and things really sped up technologically but to what extent did the tools make it into the classroom? By the time the 1970s calculators were the cool learning toy of the day. Yet, as I recall, it was to be many years later before students were allowed use them in exams. Scroll on further and you have youtube and Facebook and a whole lot more social media, and many educators don't use those either.
The lesson: new media, its applications and levels of usage are relative to the time. Technology has never really had a fundamental effect on or caused a radical overhaul of how school/college based learning and teaching takes place. It's still predominantly desks and chairs and a teacher delivering. New technology comes along and supplements or complements what's already there. As tools (Sony walkman, anyone?) go out fashion they are replaced by others (Apple ipod, anyone?).
The words educational reform have been heard for years and years. Technology has been changing and evolving for decades. Yet there hasn't been any fundamental change in how teaching and learning takes place. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
What's it like to be a 3rd level student? Every now and again, large scale surveys are released promising to tell us what life is like from the other side of the desk. The latest such study comes from the Times Higher Education.
By and large, these studies tend to tell us more or less the same thing every time they are carried out. In essence, students need to feel they belong. They need to fit with campus life, or at least the aspects of it that are important to them. This might be provision of a well-stocked library, a vibrant students union/ society, an accessible program director, a top-class sports arena, or a chess club. Whatever it is, it contributes to students feeling that they are part of a community. All the criteria THE mention concern sense of community and sense of belonging to that community, or some aspect of it.
I find it interesting that the report mentions a distinction between full time students, part-time students and international students. From my experience, these are three very different collectives, with very different priorities, and looking for very different things from their chosen academic community. Part-timers come in the evening time when the facilities tend to be limited. They tend to have less time to explore them anyhow. They are more likely that the other groups to turn to each other and their lecturers for assistance needed. Full timers have more time to immerse themselves in the wider aspects of campuslife.
International students, unfortunately, have GNIB (that's the Garda National Immigration Bureau), language and cultural barriers to deal with before they can even begin to think about the more relaxing and social side of academic life. This group have the biggest challenge. The academic and social/cultural life they find themselves in can differ radically from what they are used to in their home countries and can take some getting used to. As an example, I know the Indian students have settled when they stop calling me ma'am and call me by my first name. This dilemma of how to address a lecturer is something that's not even on the table as an issue for domestic students. The international students are the group most in need of the safe-environs of a supportive community where they can relax and let their guard down.
I would like to see a large scale study that looks at the breakdown of factors contributing to "the student experience" from the perspectives of these 3 groups. I imagine they are very different, even with students in the same class or studying the same course. One student's positive experience is another student's nightmare. Take, for example, the "class discussion". Unless they are feeling very secure in the class environment Asian students are slow to get involved in class discussion. American students tend to get bored unless there is something to talk about, regardless of whether they barely know their classmates or not. Having a combination of both groups in a classroom poses some interesting challenges for the lecturer.
The quality of lecturers / lecturers featured as a criterion in the THE study. There was a time when being a good lecturer meant showing up to class in time, "standing & delivering", and marking your essays and exams. This is no longer the case. There are so many competing strands to the "good lecturer" these days that keeping up is a fun challenge. This is a topic more deserving of a whole set of postings on its own …. one I will come back to later.
I reckon that knowing and having passionate views on your subject matter, and then getting that across to those for whom this content is new is no longer the key challenge. The more critical make-or-break component is engagement, engagement and more engagement. Given the wealth of domain content information available today, reaching out to students is more important than providing them with that information. It makes my day when a student complements me. The reasoning behind the complement almost always arises from engaging with the student(s) in a positive way. This can be anything from an encouraging smile to taking 10 minutes out to explain a concept, or even a firm "why were you not in class yesterday".
Recently I had a student come into my office, start talking about a problem he was having. He talked about the problem, then he begin to sort out his dilemma, followed this by identifying holes in his solution, then plugging those holes, and then he left. He gave me little opportunity to do anything more than say "hmmmm". He called back later in the day to thank me for listening.
Talking, listening, engaging, it's all part of the lecturer's experience as much as it is the student experience.
What does "higher education" mean? What do you think of when you hear the term "academia"? When someone mentions a higher education college or university what do you think of?
What answers did you come up with – learning, teaching, students, ………….. or research?
Apparently, by focusing on the teaching aspect, I'm not up there in the valued and appreciated realms. The Times tells me that 'driving excellence' is in research and not in teaching. Generation of new knowledge carries more status than the joy of passing on this knowledge to others. Who decides this, who's calling the shots? The UK HEA seems to suggest that senior managers in a third level institution care a lot about teaching but their academics don't seem to believe them, citing promotions as being very much driven by research achievements.
Who is doing the learning – the academics in their research. Who's doing the teaching – the academics when they can squeeze it in. Where do students fit in? Knowledge and pushing the frontiers of uncovering and discovering knowledge need to be constant and research is the way to do this. On the other hand, where do researchers begin their learning – by being students in a class of fellow students. If they didn't have this opportunity would they have become successful researchers?If their lecturers didn't pass on their learning and research achievements to them, would they have thrived as researchers?
Its time to pass learning back to the learners. Teaching must be valued and considered on par with research activities. Otherwise, we risk losing out on budding researchers of the future, and why would we want that?

Julie and Austin Locke had the privilege of loving their son his whole life. At 2 1/2 years old, Dax Locke, lost his battle with cancer and received his angel wings.
Julie and her husband learned to "Cherish Every Moment" which is a gift from God that not all people have come to understand in this busy world.
Julie honestly asks the question – Why when I loved my child so much would God allow him to suffer and then take him away?
We do have suffering in this world thanks to world changers – Adam and Eve, the very first parents. Because they went against God, the perfect world that once existed became full of disease, distress and destruction for every generation to follow. (Genesis 3) It's in this dark world, God's love shines brighter. Faith reaches higher. Trust grows deeper.
God doesn't leave us where we are. He cares about our hurting hearts.
He sent hope to the world. "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners (against God), (his son Jesus) Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 – From that love we have the hope of heaven.

Upton Lake Christian School Campus
In 1976 a group of Christian parents from the Evangelical Friends Church of Clinton Corners, concerned about the increasing secular and humanistic attitude in the public schools, established a Christian day school. Its purpose was to provide an excellent academic education from a Christian perspective. The new school was named the Community Friends Christian Academy, and consisted of one teacher and a few students meeting in the basement room of the old church building.
The school experienced a steady growth, and in 1978 the name was changed to Upton Lake Christian School, which then had reached its enrollment capacity of 30 students in grade levels 1-2. With the rapid expansion of the church and the growing interest in the Christian school movement, the Lord wonderfully provided, in the spring of 1980, for the purchase of a large tract of land nearby. Thanks to the hard work of devoted church members and school parents, the existing Annex building was totally renovated in just 45 days. By the opening of school that fall, the enrollment had nearly doubled to 56 students, including a new kindergarten program.
In 1983 the name of the church was changed to the Evangelical Free Church of Clinton Corners. God provided in every way, working miracles of faith and sacrifices as the school enrollment increased to over 100 students. The first class of 8 students was graduated in June of 1985. Since then, these students have gone on to distinguish themselves in college and chosen careers.
In December of 1986, the church completed a beautiful new building, which provided three additional classrooms and a gymnasium for the school's use. In 1989, another wing was added to the church and three more classrooms became available. In the spring of 1990, the school council made a commitment to the high school – the curriculum was changed, facilities were given a facelift, and teachers were hired. Everything was done to bring Upton Lake Christian School to the forefront of educational institutions in Dutchess County. Even today, changes are being made so we can better prepare our students for the 21st century.
God continues to bless this ministry. He provides for our needs and challenges our students. It is our hope that we, as His servants, remain faithful to His Word and the vision of the school's founders as we move forward in the vital task of educating our young people "in the training and instruction of the Lord."

The Soap Man : Lewis, Harris and Lord Leverhulme Paperback / softback
by Roger Hutchinson
In 1918, as the First World War was drawing to a close, the eminent liberal industrial Lord Leverhulme bought - lock, stock and barrel - the Hebridean island of Lewis.
His intention was to revolutionise the lives and environments of its 30,000 people, and those of neighbouring Harris, which he shortly added to his estate.
For the next five years a state of conflict reigned in the Hebrides.
Island seamen and servicemen returned from the war to discover a new landlord whose declared aim was to uproot their identity as independent crofter/fishermen and turn them into tenured wage-owners.
They fought back, and this is the story of that fight.
The confrontation resulted in riot and land seizure and imprisonment for the islanders and the ultimate defeat for one of the most powerful men of his day. The Soap Man paints a beguiling portrait of the driven figure of Lord Leverhulme, but also looks for the first time at the infantry of his opposition: the men and women of Lewis and Harris who for long hard years fought the law, their landowner, local business opinion and the entire media, to preserve the settled crofting population of their islands.

We are developing a system that both serves as regular web platform and also serves an API for Sencha based iOS/Android App's.
For this we need to modify Phalcon's regular session service, if anyone has an idea to do this ?
Why in the world you would do it like this? It's better to setup Micro app which will share services and the rest config of your main app and use it to serve full API to those mobile apps.
So just bootstrap Micro with same services container etc.
Also, for sure you can override session service if you want, but IMHO that's dirty solution.


How are we going to build your house and the process of our communication.
The project starts with detailed introduction.
The house and its owner should have similar attitude towards work and leisure. Convenient atmosphere is created by a character congruence.
You might find what you're looking for among our popular standard projects. If we start from scratch, then – from scratch it is. With specific task in mind.
In this case, we want to know as much as we can about Apriori Albero to-be house owners.
What family will gather under its roof? What do you like, what are your passions? What things do you keep from season to season, and what approximate space would they occupy? Are you hospitable? Do you prefer large group of friends? Feasts, quiet fireplace snuggles? Or a hammock on your porch and quiet siesta?
How active are you outdoors and especially indoors: are you walking slowly, or flourish your arms? Live on the run or loll on your sofa?
What colors do you prefer, what are your associations to them? More light? Tinted glass?
Now add environment, terrain, landscape.
How far from your neighbors? Are you connected closely, or prefer to keep your distance? How many trees and bushes around the house, how tall and colorful are they over the year?
How much time to spend on the process of examination of your needs is for you to decide. Many people like to feel their home beforehand. Are you too busy for this, and we should avoid these concerns? As you wish.
We draw, we count, we sign.
Yes, project development is not free. Though the sum isn't big, it disciplines both sides: we are sure that your plans are serious and that we use the time profitably.
– DBOM (Design-build- operate-maintain) agreement conclusion.
– Detail estimate confirmation – it would be clear and understandable for you.
– Upfront fee in the volume of 70% of total work cost: for material purchasing and production of pre- fabricated materials.
First acceptance, first delivery act.
Before we go to the assembly site, we report you on money spent and on following every project detail.
Are you ready for on-site construction? Pay 20% more – and the house goes where it is meant to be. With all the precautions.
Let your house hold your pleasure.
All the works are completed in time specified. You accept them in full accordance with the act, make final 10% payment and get its certificate along with keys. The contract is fulfilled.
We're always in touch if you need us. Open for any questions and advising. And the most pleasing part is receiving photos of happy people who like their house even a year after it is done.
Which house is going to be your favorite? Let us meet and talk about it.

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 2014-- Bioline, The PCR Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Meridian Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVO), announces that it has entered the rapidly growing Epigenetics field, with the launch of the first kits in the new EPIK™ product range; EPIK™ Fast Quantification Kit and EPIK™ Amplification Kit.
These EPIKTM Kits have been developed to meet the needs of researchers employing PCR and real-time PCR analysis in Epigenetics, by delivering significantly increased reliability and sensitivity. Currently the majority of techniques used in Epigenetics have been found to be unreliable and not reproducible. Methylation of DNA is one of the best-studied epigenetic phenomena with bisulfite-modification of DNA considered to be the best method to study DNA methylation patterns. The EPIK™ Kits are based on the highly sensitive, and customer proven, MyTaq™ and SensiFAST™ polymerases together with a novel EPIKORE™ buffer system, formulated to overcome the challenges associated with bisulfite-modified DNA templates. The high-speed, enhanced specificity and outstanding reliability of the EPIK™ Kits makes them perfectly suited to high-throughput epigenetic analysis.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie tried their hand at slingshots and bowls in a surprise appearance at an anniversary party.
The sisters, who are granddaughters of the Queen, paid a visit to Paddington Recreation Ground, where a grand jubilee dinner was held to mark the monarch's platinum jubilee.
It was organized by Westminster Council for local volunteer and community groups who have been helping out during the Covid-19 pandemic.
And throughout the event, the pair seemed eager to take part in the fun and games on offer at the event, with Eugenie trying to spin plates while her sister looked on.

Meanwhile, Beatrice also tried out bowling and posed for snaps on her phones with families at the event.
When the sisters arrived, they were also presented with flowers by some of the younger guests who were enjoying the party.
Beatrice and Eugenie's party appearance comes as the Platinum Jubilee celebrations later conclude with a colorful street parade, which royal revelers hope will be crowned by an appearance by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Around 10,000 people, including a cast of 6,000 performers, are involved in staging the 3km carnival procession from Horse Guards along Whitehall to Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham Palace.
Flowers are presented to the sisters
The ambitious £15million pageant is split into four acts: For Queen and Country, with a military parade; The time of our lives through seven decades of culture, music and fashion; Let's Celebrate tells the story of the Queen's life in 12 chapters with corgi dolls and carnival creations; and the musical spectacle Happy and Glorious.
Celebrities travel in decorated, open-top, double-decker buses to the festivities, which are celebrated decade after decade.
Sights include the golden state carriage, which will feature archival footage of the Queen in the windows, giving the impression that the monarch is inside the carriage.
A peloton of 300 cyclists riding vintage bikes dating back to seven decades of the Queen's reign will cruise down The Mall, led by Sir Chris Hoy and cycling golden couple Dame Laura and Sir Jason Kenny.
Nearly 200 national treasures will take the stage to serenade the Queen by singing the national anthem at the grand finale of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
