Tarascon Stagecoach (La diligence de Tarascon), 1888
Dutch, 1853-1890
Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation, on long-term loan to the Princeton University Art Museum
Vincent van Gogh described this painting in a letter to his brother, Theo, and drew a small sketch of it at the bottom of the page. He referenced a popular novel by Alphonse Daudet, titled Tartarin de Tarascon (1872), in which a personified stagecoach nostalgically laments the bygone days before it was replaced by the railroad in France. A sense of longing for these days gone by suffuses the painting, which van Gogh made just a few years after the invention of the automobile.
After the Bath: Woman Drying Herself, 1890s
French, 1834-1917
This intimate painting of a woman drying herself after a bath is one of a series created by Degas late in his career. The painting captures Degas's subject in a contorted pose as she leans over a piece of furniture, perhaps attempting to dry her torso. Her hair is shown falling down the right side of the canvas, painted in broad, confident strokes of dark paint. Traces of fingerprints in the background reveal that Degas used his hands in addition to a brush to apply paint.
Mont Sainte-Victoire, 1904-1906
Between 1904 and 1906 Cézanne painted numerous views of Mont Sainte-Victoire, the imposing mountain that rises in splendid isolation above the plains outside Aix-en-Provence. Nearly all of Cézanne's views of Mont Sainte-Victoire are horizontal. Here the vertical canvas accommodates a deep landscape of superposed bands; the sky above the mountain is reduced, creating a solidity and stability that suggest this is one of the last views in the series, created when Cézanne had fully mastered the motif.
Still Life with Carafe, Bottle, and Fruit, 1906
Watercolor and soft graphite on pale buff wove paper
At once ephemeral and monumental, this large still life is believed to be one of the final three watercolors made by Cézanne. The transparent and opaque forms in this work dissolve into a web of vibrating lines and overlapping color patches. Rather than indicating definitive shapes, Cézanne gives a sense of the way objects interact with each other and with the space around them. Repeated round forms, in the carafe, the apple, and the cluster of grapes, give the composition a sense of harmony.
Cistern in the Park of Château Noir, ca. 1900
In this stunning painting, Cézanne depicts the rocky ground of Provence, with its characteristic pine trees providing shade from the Mediterranean sun. Once thickly covered with oak trees, the region was deforested by the nineteenth century. Its soil had eroded, and angular evergreens replaced deciduous trees. Cézanne's palette captures the contrast between the gray, beige, orange, and brown rocks and soil and the varied greens of the pine needles. Overhung with branches, the cistern is a refuge from the hot, dry, dusty roadside and offers the promise of water.
Trees Forming an Arch, ca. 1904-1905
Watercolor and graphite on buff wove paper
This watercolor shows Cézanne's delicate, harmonious touch in the technically challenging medium of watercolor. Cézanne's watercolors are not studies for his oil paintings, but rather finished works that he considered equally important. He started with a graphite underdrawing that provided the skeleton for the composition, and then added patches of color on top. These watercolor and graphite components share multiple tasks: denoting lines, establishing volume, and suggesting areas of shadow or airy space. Cézanne used the color of the paper to indicate areas of light and to create contrast with the densely painted sections.
Young Woman in a Round Hat, ca. 1877-1879
This unfinished painting, never exhibited in Manet's lifetime, has provoked speculation as to whether its subject was a friend or a model. She is dressed in a walking suit, and the object she carries has been identified as a parasol, umbrella, or walking stick. The picture epitomizes what the poet and critic Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) considered a defining feature of images of modern life: the changing styles of ladies' dresses.
Still Life: Apples and Pears in a Round Basket, 1872
French, 1830–1903
One of Pissarro's rare still lifes, this work dates from the year after his move to Pontoise, a village north of Paris. Cézanne also moved there in 1872, and the two painters often worked side-by-side outdoors, experimenting with the Impressionist techniques pioneered by some of their friends. Although this still life was painted indoors, it exhibits Pissarro's use of visible brushstrokes and the colorful cast shadows that are among the hallmarks of the Impressionist style.
The Sacred Grove, 1884
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec made this monumental painting, a parody of academic artist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes's The Sacred Grove, as a young student. Lautrec mimics the style of the original allegorical composition, while alterations create biting humor. A clock face appears on the ancient portico, a giant tube of paint is held aloft by one of the Arts, and a circular loaf of bread in the hands of a kneeling youth substitutes for a crown of laurel. Lautrec painted himself standing with his back to the viewer, urinating irreverently on the sacred ground.
Jean Cocteau, 1916
Italian, 1884-1920
In the spring of 1916, Picasso brought the poet Jean Cocteau to meet the artists and poets who habitually gathered in the Parisian neighborhood of Montparnasse. The Right Bank poet apparently irritated the group of Left Bank friends with his pretentions: the poet Pierre Reverdy recounted later that Cocteau talked incessantly, his voice like the rain beating on the roof, while everyone ignored him. Modigliani and his friend Moïse Kisling both painted Cocteau, and Modigliani's devastating portrait captures his vanity.
In the mid-twentieth century, businessman Henry Pearlman, the founder of Eastern Cold Storage Company, assembled an extraordinary collection of European modern art. He was particularly drawn to the work of Paul Cézanne, one of the most pivotal figures in the development of modernism. Pearlman acquired some twenty-four of Cézanne's paintings, including one of the most significant private holdings of the artist's watercolors. This exhibition is the first public tour of the Pearlman collection since the 1970s.
The vibrant colors, strong compositions, and bold brushwork of the School of Paris, including Chaïm Soutine and Amedeo Modigliani, reverberate throughout the collection. They accompany works by influential older artists: Édouard Manet, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Camille Pissarro. Henry Pearlman found living with these works of art in both his home and office a transformative experience, which he aimed to share with others by lending his collection. The present international tour of the Pearlman Collection has been organized in this spirit of generosity.
To complement the Pearlman holdings, five portraits by Soutine from a private collection are also on view.

Pearlman
In the early 1940s, Henry Pearlman (1895-1974) purchased a series of early Italian, French, and American paintings which he described as "decorative but neither provocative nor moving." His approach to collecting underwent a sea change in 1943, after the acquisition of Chaïm Soutine's View of Céret. The dizzying landscape of houses in a French Pyrénées village with paint, as Pearlman wrote, "slashed on as if by a trowel," inspired Pearlman to sell his previous acquisitions and dedicate himself to the study and accumulation of modern art.
Pearlman made his fortune through his Eastern Cold Storage Insulation Corporation, which dealt in refrigerated shipping. He applied his business acumen to the art world, and delighted in the strategic buying, selling, and trading of art. Pearlman endeavored to learn as much as he could about the artists whose work he purchased, studying their biographies and making the acquaintance of those who were still alive. He even occasionally traveled to the locations depicted in paintings so as to feel a closer connection to the subject matter. Pearlman collected art for his own edification, but also endeavored to share his collection with the public. In 1976, two years after Pearlman's death, the collection began its long-term residence at the Princeton University Art Museum, where students and members of the public can enjoy it to this day.
Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) was born in Aix-en-Provence, in southern France, the landscape that became his most frequent subject. In his youth, he defied his banker father's wishes by leaving the university where he was studying law to become an artist. He showed in two Impressionist Salons before removing his art from public view for decades due to his sensitivity to criticism.
Cézanne once announced that he wished to paint nature as if no one had ever painted it. Indeed, he developed a completely new way of painting, eschewing traditional forms of perspective and laying down paint in parallel patches of color. During his lifetime, Cézanne's art was controversial because it diverged so drastically from the norm. At the end of his life, however, young artists would visit Cézanne at his home in Aix to learn from him. He became immensely influential – a pivotal artist in the early history of modernism.
The paintings in the Pearlman Collection beautifully show Cézanne's artistic range. They include a small, intimate portrait of the artist's son and one of his last views of Mont Sainte-Victoire, the Provençal mountain he revisited many times throughout his career.
Soutine
In addition to the paintings by Chaïm Soutine in the Pearlman Collection, five portraits by the artist from the Lewis Collection are on view. All five depict anonymous subjects, but each is deeply individuated, showing Soutine's careful observation of the particularities of each person he painted.
Soutine (1893-1943) was born into a poor family in Smilovitchi, Lithuania, and grew up in an Orthodox Jewish community. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vilna, Soutine moved to Paris and enrolled at the École des Beaux Arts.
Critics and collectors saw Soutine as the artistic successor to Cézanne. Like the older artist, Soutine avoided traditional forms of perspective, especially in his landscapes. Trees and buildings are tipped upward, offering a disorienting view that borders on abstraction. But Soutine's energetic application of paint stood in contrast to the work of his predecessors. He took advantage of the three-dimensional quality of oil paint, sculpting it on the surface of the canvas in thick strands. After his death, Soutine would serve as a key influence to such important artistic figures as Willem de Kooning, Lucian Freud, and Francis Bacon.

3 Korean fugitives nabbed in Philippines
Posted at Feb 07 2020 02:52 PM
MANILA - Three Korean fugitives were arrested by law enforcers in parts of the Philippines in January, the Bureau of Immigration said Friday.
The suspects are detained at BI's detention facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City while awaiting deportation, Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said.
The bureau's fugitive search unit first arrested 55-year-old Kwon Houkrae in Angeles City, Pampanga on Jan. 23.
An arrest warrant was issued against her by a Korean court after Kwon allegedly hired a group of hit men to murder a fellow countryman, the BI said.
The second fugitive, 40-year-old Park Iksu, was apprehended in Santa Rosa City, Laguna on the same day.
He was charged with fraud for swindling a fellow Korean of 22 million yen or US$18,400 in a business transaction.
On Jan. 27, immigration authorities arrested 49-year-old Bak Hyeon Gi inside his hotel room in Malate, Manila.
He was also wanted for fraud for allegedly receiving P3 million from a fellow Korean in return for facilitating the issuance of a court restraining order in his favor.

Miguel Cañete: Leaders of EU cities and regions must 'lead by example' on climate
Written by Martin Banks on 4 July 2019 in News
Miguel Cañete, EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy, says elected leaders of European cities and regions are "uniquely positioned" to "lead by example" on the transition to a low-emission and climate-resilient economy.

Speaking in Brussels, the Spanish official said the EU continues to support cities and regions through EU funds and the target to invest at least 20 percent of these funds into climate-related projects.
As an example, he cited the fact that more than half of the European Regional Development Fund in 2014-2020, more than €100bn, is invested in cities.
He said, "We also recognise the need to continue to step up this support in the coming years and a vital component is the financial support under the next European Union long-term budget for 2021 to 2027."
Finland kicks off EU presidency on green note
Disappointment reigns after EU summit fails to deliver on carbon neutrality goal
Commission 'failing' to monitor its sustainable development activities, says EU auditors
EU elections can send strong climate change message, says EREF
Youth consider EU as only 'moderately effective' in tackling major challenges
EU elections 'great opportunity' to ensure next legislature follows 'green agenda'
Cañete, addressing a debate of EU regional leaders, pointed out that the Commission has proposed that 25 percent of the next budget goes to climate-related action, up from the current 20 percent.
"This would mean climate-related spending of €320 billion across all major European Union funding programmes, including cohesion, agriculture, infrastructure investment and research and innovation."
"We also propose that 35 percent of the new Horizon Europe research programme goes on climate objectives - with a dedicated €15 billion fund for climate, energy and mobility."
"Horizon Europe will include new research missions on climate-neutral and smart cities and adapting to climate change. The missions should obtain between €5 billion and €10 billion."
"Our proposals are ambitious but achievable. And crucially, they will create much better funding opportunities for cities and regions to implement both climate mitigation and adaptation measures" Miguel Cañete, EU Commissioner for Climate Action and Energy
The Commission also wants 30 percent of investments under InvestEU - the successor to the European Fund for Strategic Investments - to go on climate objectives.
"Our proposals are ambitious but achievable. And crucially, they will create much better funding opportunities for cities and regions to implement both climate mitigation and adaptation measures, Cañete added.
Reacting to his comment, Enrico Rossi, president of Tuscany who participated in the debate, told this website, "I welcome the New Strategic Agenda 2019-24 adopted by the EU Council."
"Building a climate-neutral, green, fair and social Europe must be a priority for the next Commission. I only regret that the Member States decided not to commit inserting concrete targets or fixed deadlines in this document."
"This decision will not facilitate a quick implementation on the ground. However, fighting climate change has been a top priority for us and we are taking a number of measures to reduce Co2 emissions.
"We drafted a very detailed plan aiming at reaching the objective of Carbon Neutral Region by 2050. In order to reduce littering and plastic pollution in our oceans and seas, from this summer we decided to ban selected single-use products made of plastic for which alternatives exist on the market such as cutlery, plates and cups from all beaches of Tuscany."
The recently-unveiled Strategic Plan caused controversy when it made tackling climate change only a third-level priority, behind measures to counter illegal immigration and boost the economy.
A reference to a "large majority of Member States" wanting to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 was relegated to a footnote - at one point it was left out altogether before being reinstated.
Wendel Trio, director of CAN Europe said the failure to set new, higher EU climate targets was "irresponsible given the climate emergency we are facing."
The European Civic Forum, a transnational network of over 100 NGOs in 28 Member States, agreed with his criticism, adding that the EU must "radically change" direction.
Roger Casale, General Secretary of New Europeans and a vice president of the Forum, said, "It seems that the EU council has listened and there are clearer references in the strategic plan to European values and the defence of our fundamental rights as well as to the need to create a social Europe and not just a single market."
"However, it remains to be seen how deep these commitments run. It will be up to us, the citizens, to make sure that the idea of a social Europe does not end up as a footnote in history. As with climate change, we urgently need to put tackling social exclusion at the heart of the EU's strategy for the future."
Meanwhile, the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) has put forward its proposals for the EU's new legislative mandate for 2019-2024.
The CoR argues that for the EU to regain citizens' trust and address major current challenges, EU decisions and policies must be "anchored locally and local and regional authorities involved at all stages of EU decision-making."
CoR president Karl-Heinz Lambertz said, "The nearly 100,000 local authorities and 300 regions of the EU represented by the CoR are key partners to increase citizens' ownership and strengthen trust in the Union."
"We need to radically rethink the way the EU works so it is closer to the citizens. That's why we ask for the creation of a permanent mechanism for citizens' dialogue and an EU based on multi-level governance, better law making and active subsidiarity."
How cities can lead the sustainability transition
We need to rethink our relationship with nature when building cities, argue Marc Palahí, Stefano Boeri, Maria Chiara Pastore and Vicente Guallart.

The body of David "Dave" Elliott Bradish, 80, of Idyllwild, was found Saturday afternoon, Dec. 8. He had been missing since Monday, Nov. 26.
Another search and rescue effort was initiated after his dog, Ginger, was found Wednesday near the Fern Valley Corners area of Idyllwild. Rain delayed the new search until Saturday.
Bradish suffered from Alzheimer's. His body was found well above Chipmunk Drive, according to Riverside County Sheriff's Sgt. Kenneth Reichle.
While the Sheriff's Coroner's office has not posted an official cause of death, it is speculated that he died in the early days of his disappearance.
He and his wife Linda had moved to Idyllwild in late October to join his son, David, and daughter-in-law Jenni, who moved here in late summer.
The search for Bradish began immediately after his and Ginger's disappearances, one of the largest search-and-rescue missions on the Hill that included multi-county agencies and local community members. And family and community continued to look for him since.

Director of Sports Nutrition Kelsee Gomes Key to Gators' Offseason
New Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier knows if he wants to see an immediate change on Saturdays, he needs to ensure his athletes are prepared to compete for a full 60 minutes.
And it starts with what athletes are putting in their bodies during the week and on gameday.
A recent article from 247Sports.com highlighted how the Gators' new director of sports nutrition, Kelsee Gomes, has given a new flavor to Florida's fueling practices.
Below is an excerpt from the 247Sports.com article.
Another significant area of improvement? The food.
"110 percent," senior safety Trey Dean said when asked if meals and attention to nutrition had been enhanced under Napier compared to the last several years.
While Napier orchestrated such a change, Dean and his teammates have director of sports nutrition Kelsee Gomes to thank, too.
Gomes, who was hired as Florida's new head nutritionist in December after overseeing the sports nutrition department at North Carolina since 2015, has helped reimagine that aspect of players' routines.
Some of the highlights: Each player has a spring weight goal posted on their locker with a detailed and regularly-updated meal plan to help them achieve it. Players are encouraged — and rewarded — for adhering to Gomes' hydration guidelines which include drinking roughly a gallon of water a day. The team is served one full meal and two grab-and-go snacks on weekdays, including what players call "French Toast Fridays," a locker room favorite.
"She's giving us meal plans," running back Nay'Quan Wright said. "If you wanna gain weight, maintain, you want to lose, they're doing great with that."

A former Division I swimmer at UNC-Wilmington, Gomes has worked in the sports nutrition industry for more than a decade. After graduating with a master's degree from Florida State, Gomes spent two years as a nutritionist consultant in the traumatic brain injury and rehab unit at the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Hoping to work in sports, Gomes said she reached out to Ricki Keen, the director of performance nutrition for Orlando City Soccer, whom she worked for until she caught her first big break in the sports nutrition industry in 2011.
"I ended up getting hired by Tara Gidus, who did the Orlando Magic at the time, and then she got the contract for UCF which was like for 20 hours a week and so I started helping her doing the consulting over there and knew that was what I wanted to do," Gomes said.

Nvidia looks for growth beyond the PC
Santa Clara (CA) - The PC will remain the core business for Nvidia, but the company is looking to other market segments, chief executive Jen-Hsun Huang told shareholders today. The company hopes that applications such as Google Earth will fuel demand for 3D graphics chips in electronics devices far beyond the PC.
Today's graphics chip market is pretty much set with similar roles for the world's largest chip suppliers in every quarter. Intel basically owns the integrated chipset market and, according to market research firm Jon Peddie Research, currently accounts for 43.1 percent of all graphic chip shipments. ATI (26.1 percent) and Nvidia (17.9 percent) battle out primarily the performance market with standalone performance chips for desktop and notebook computers.
With growth in the PC market slowing down and ATI still dominating the notebook segment, Nvidia has to look for future markets that offer opportunities for substantial growth and are large enough to please investors. Today, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang presented shareholders his idea where Nvidia needs to go to be able to sell lots more of its chips.
According to Huang, the desktop segment will remain the main focus with more than 145 million PCs sold every year. High-end graphics card currently are by far the most profitable business and brought $2.1 billion in revenues for Nvidia in the past fiscal year. The company has begun to increase its development and marketing efforts in the notebook market which is growing much faster than the desktop market and currently is estimated to reach about 58 million units this year. Beyond those traditional 3D graphics markets, Huang sees quickly evolving opportunities in the segments of media center PCs, workstations, servers and especially handhelds and consumer electronics.
"There will be 1 billion cellphone sold in 2009. 145 million people will download 2.3 billion games. It's clear that every cellphone company wants 3D graphics in their devices," Huang said. He told shareholders that he believes that 3D graphics chips will "as pervasive as processors and memory" in next generation electronics and will be required for new consumer and industrial applications. While workstations will need more graphics capability for medical imaging or 3D CAD to allow collaboration around the world, he said, consumer devices such as cellphones or embedded automotive devices could soon take advantage of software such as Google Earth: "Imagine the potential using 3D graphics for search. You could fly to the next Starbucks on your navigation screen," Huang said.
Dual-graphics chip solutions are another key element in Nvidia's strategy to increase growth. "If someone has to graphics processors in his computer, it makes me very happy," Huang said. So it is no surprise that Nvidia plans to extend SLI in much more markets than just gaming. "The first generation of SLI was about driving a new level of performance," he told shareholders. In the future, the company plans to build on its initial success with SLI and highlight more benefits in other markets. For example, Huang envisions "graphics supercomputers" for the workstation segment: "This market already generates more than $400 million for us per year and has huge growth potential, especially when we see designers collaborating around the world."
Huang also gave shareholders a few financial details on Nvidia's participation in Sony's next-generation game console, PS3. For the first time in its history, the company acts as a pure IP supplier -it licenses technology and lets someone else build the hardware. According to Huang, Nvidia will collect royalties from Sony for every Playstation sold. This also includes PS3 derivates, such as future Playstation Portables based on the PS3 graphics architecture.

Q: R: Merge lists containing vectors and scalars I have N lists that have some identical column names. Here is a MWE with two list:
ls <- list()
ls[[1]] <- list("a"=1:2,
                "b"=20,
                "c"=numeric(0))
names(ls[[1]]$a) <- c("a1", "a2")

ls[[2]] <- list("a"=3:4,
                "b"=30,
                "c"=1:4,
                "d"="f")
names(ls[[2]]$a) <- c("a1", "a2")

Is it possible merge these into a resulting list lsRes, where lsRes has the following properties:

*

*lsRes$a contains two elements, where the first is the named vector
c(1,2) (with names c(a1, a2)) and the second a named vector c(3,4)
(with names (c(a1.a2)))

*lsRes$b contains two elements, where the first is 20 and the second is 30

*lsRes$c contains two elements, where the first is numeric(0) and the second is 1:4

*lsRes$d contains
two elements, where the first is NA and the second is "f"

I looked at this and this, but they describe different cases

A: Assuming that we need to have the output also as a list, we create the common names and then assign those doesn't any of the common names to NA
nm1 <- unique(unlist(sapply(ls, names)))
lsRes <- lapply(ls, function(x) {x[setdiff(nm1, names(x))] <- NA; x})
lengths(lsRes)
#[1] 4 4

If we need to have a list of 4 elements, then use transpose
library(purrr)
lsRes %>%
      transpose

Peter Trodtfeld is an experienced beekeeper and Bee Health Expert at the Bayer Bee Care Center in Monheim, Germany.
The honey bee research network COLOSS has been monitoring colony losses for many years to study and better understand the risk factors. An internationally standardized data protocol allows comparison and joint analysis of the data collected at country level. The survey methodology is also included as a chapter in the COLOSS BEEBOOK.
Interview with Peter Trodtfeld on honey bee colony winter losses and how beekeepers can monitor and reduce the Varroa mite infestation levels in their hives.
The preliminary results on the overwintering losses of honey bee colonies over the 2015/16 period are now available. They show great variability between different regions in Europe, and vary compared to last year, but overall, the average loss rate is lower than in 2014/15. Can you explain these results?
I am very happy to see that there has been an overall improvement compared to the previous winter, as demonstrated in Belgium for instance, where there were heavy losses of some 36% last year and only 12% this year. Particularly low loss rates were recorded in the Czech Republic with 6.4% (compared to 16.9% in the previous year). Unfortunately, a few countries had relatively high losses this last winter, such as Ireland (29.5% compared to 12.4% last year), Spain (22.1%, though not all regions were included so far) and Finland (17%, up from 8.7% seen previously). Last year we generally saw that higher mortality and losses were found in Central Europe and countries to the east. This year, however, the highest losses tend to be in the west and northern countries. This shows that it is normal that mortality rates undergo some fluctuation, between countries and even across different regions of some countries. There are many factors that can impact honey bee health and often several of them have a combined effect, so the fluctuations we are seeing from year to year can result from many different causes.
So honey bee mortality is influenced by many factors. COLOSS mentioned that losses due to queen problems were unexpectedly high in some countries. What about the role of the Varroa destructor?
The Varroa destructor is a key threat to the health of the Western honey bee. The mite weakens the bees' immune system and transmits damaging viruses such as the Deformed Wing Virus, which is highly established in Europe.
Indeed, poor queen quality and consequential higher queen mortality is also increasingly affecting colony survival over the winter. Queen problems can be caused by a lack of support from worker bees, for example when the bee colony is infected with the Varroa mite. Another cause can be that the queen is old and has not been replaced early enough, as recommended, every second year.
In addition to that, insufficient or poor quality supplementary food provided by a beekeeper during the winter period can impact his colonies survival. Weather conditions can also have an impact.
Do you think the COLOSS overwintering results are useful to know?
Well, they give us a good baseline from which to compare loss rates from one year to another and also to get a broad overview of how well honey bee colonies in different countries across Europe are doing. However, as long as we (beekeepers, authorities, scientists…) are not using the data to take some action to improve the situation on bee health, this only gives us the year-on-year average winter losses for honey bee colonies in Europe. What we do see is that there is no obvious correlation in results with any particular factor which may impact honey bee health and overwintering mortality results are very variable.
You are a beekeeper yourself. Is there anything beekeepers can do to ensure that their losses are as low as possible?
Yes. We as beekeepers can influence bee health in a positive way. Especially this year, beekeepers in Central Europe need to keep in mind that after the long rainy periods we had earlier this year, bees may suffer from a food shortage in which case they will need to begin feeding their bee colonies sooner or provide more food than normal to compensatefor the bees reduced honey stocks.
It is also essential to monitor Varroa mite infestation levels and treat colonies accordingly as early as possible. If synthetic compounds are used, it is important to monitor the resistance levels of the Varroa mite in order to avoid low efficacy of the planned treatment. When using organic compounds such as formic acid which is quite temperature-sensitive, it is crucial to find the right application window to ensure its efficacy. For example, at temperatures above 30 degrees, there is a risk of evaporation which can have negative side effects on the treated bee colonies. It is also important to monitor after treatment to check that it has worked well enough to reduce the Varroa infestation to a manageable level.
When should beekeepers start thinking about prevention against winter bee losses? Or is it rather about pursuing an ongoing management approach?
Beekeepers are normally well trained to deal with different and changing weather conditions. But this year is special: We are faced with very specific challenges due to the warm winter in 2015 and many periods of heavy rain during spring/summer. As a result, we expect a very high and dynamic population of Varroa mites in beehives and we also clearly see a nutrition problem with many of our honey bee colonies in Germany. In such a situation it is even more important that beekeepers monitor their bees' health and the conditions in the beehive as much as possible and pursue good beekeeping practices responding to the given circumstances. If not, I fear that winter losses may very well be up again for the 2016/2017 season. So it is really very important that beekeepers pay close attention and act now.
Thank you very much for your time. Is there one personal tip that you would want to share with other beekeepers?
My first personal wish is that beekeepers communicate frequently with one another. Exchanging knowledge and experience on good beekeeping practices with other beekeepers during the season can help when dealing with specific situations. This can be particularly useful for beginners, who are not as experienced and professional in their beekeeping practices yet.
Secondly, we as beekeepers should also share, as much as possible, our information about our bees' health situation and especially Varroa mite pressure with local bee experts or Bee Institutes. Communication should go both ways so that overwintering losses are reduced by working together.
Peter Trodtfeld is Bee Health Expert at the Bayer Bee Care Center in Monheim, Germany. He is responsible for a diverse number of Bayer's collaboration projects related to pollinator health. He is also an experienced beekeeper and takes care of the beehives at the Bayer Bee Care Center, conducting tours for visiting groups to explain various aspects of honey and wild bee health.

Justin Trudeau Is So Freaking Hot That His APEC Chair Fetches the Highest Price--Even Higher Than Obama's!--At a UNICEF Auction
Wow, Ceeb. I'm so...not impressed.
Other, however, are thrilled to bits. For example, It's a new day In Canada, and I'm feeling good! comments:
Well, what do you expect...Canada and our new PM are making welcomed headline news throughout the world...and it makes me proud to be a Canadian.
Another fan--someone named leepalig--notes:
World recognizes PM Trudeau as people person. we are proud of our PM.
A party pooper named Ragnar Lothbrok, however, has the termerity to be less than awestruck:
Seriously, this is news? CBC keeps worshipping and idolizing it's hero.
Nailed it, RL.
I am reminded of a set of lyrics by Neil Diamond:
"I am"... I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
Those lines never made sense to me--until now. ;
I think I'd put it in another way, though. To wit: Chair today; gone today.


We have been involved in the the social space now for sometime and we have been very fortunate to work with some incredible people from all walks of life in South Africa. Over the last few months Bigger Than Me has been hard at work helping to produce and curate the digital media content for Cipla South Africa and Cipla Foundation SA on their 1st June 2016 launch of the Ajuga Early Childhood Development centre in Bhuga, Kabokweni in the Mpumalanga province. Next week will be doing more of the same and launching the next ECD in Limpopo.
Just to paint the picture on the current crisis facing South Africa and in Bhuga, Kabokweni. In South Africa there are thousands of ECD centres nationwide, registered and unregistered. Many are operated from a house or part of a house, including a garage or shack. There are approximately 6.5 million children aged 0 to 6 years old. approx 59% who are living in circumstances of extreme poverty. In Kabokweni there are 40,000 people with a 95% unemployment rate and above the national average teenage pregnancies and HIV.
Early Childhood Development centres are critical in child development, especially within the first 1000 days from conception. The balance between early learning and stimulation and the provision of health and nutrition is necessary to ensure that children receive a holistic ECD experience.
The launch of this centre was truly an inspirational day for everyone at the Cipla Foundation and of course Bigger Than Me. To be able to help the youth of this community and bring about significant and sustainable change with the support of the Deputy Minister of Social Development – Hendrietta Bogopane-Zulu means that the Cipla Foundation journey in this community has just started.
Its makes the Cipla Foundation's goal of rolling out the Ajuga Early Childhood Developments centres throughout rural South Africa a reality, something that is tangible and makes the road ahead easier if we travel it together as South Africans towards a common destination.
This challenge is just one of many facing our beautiful country and the more we are involved with projects like this it becomes increasingly apparent that the ordinary man on the street has had enough and is now prepared to do what ever it takes to change their current living situation and highlighting their plight for many South Africans is to turn to violence as we have seen so much of lately in the media which now looks like is going to be censored leading up to the local elections by various parties protecting their small universe. Watch this space!
The road ahead for South Africa is most certainly unknown but for us at Bigger Than Me we have seen a very special light that glows in some of the most affected areas around our country and its this huge potential we all have within ourselves to take responsibility for where we are as individuals and how we shape the events that we find ourselves in. We have to work together and build change, its the only way forward but it all starts with the individual making that conscious choice. It really is chosen to be Bigger Than Me.
We would like to thank everyone involved at the Cipla Foundation for letting Bigger Than Me play a part in this incredible project and look forward to building the futures of our young children in our country……together.


"Pendulum" (working title) is an investigation into all things that sway, rock, oscillate, or otherwise move backwards and forwards in a never-ending fashion. A rocking chair, a hammock, a swing, the tide, our breath.
All things that move perpetually to and fro are the definition of restlessness, and yet we find these motions intrinsically comforting, as if they remind us of an experience before consciousness.

Tomahawk chop(pped)? - The Type 1
Chris Paukert
Feb 3rd 2006 at 9:00AM
Always coveted Dodge's Viper-engined Tomahawk, the spectacular bike-cum-car concept that shocked the media at 2003's NAIAS? A limited production run was subsequently announced, but we're betting you don't have one layed up in your garage. Point-of-fact, we're not sure if any ever found their way into private hands, because as of yet, nobody's has the stones to roll up to Autoblog Towers and offer theirs for a test spin. Regardless, perhaps we've got a better shot with the Type 1 seen here. Though this bit of metallic design-school confectionry similarly straddles the world between automobile and motorcycle, it reputedly was conceived prior to the Tomahawk's debut. Regardless, it can be seen as the predictable result of a design student's interning at Hot Wheels, IDEO. Well, that a few hundred sleepless nights spent watching Star Wars reruns and twirling a certain pizza cutter.
The tube-framed wonder is a runner, with a 600 cc DOHC motor cribbed from a 1990 Yamaha FZR, providing an estimated 91 horsepower through its six-speed transmission. Both sets of wheels are canted at 60 degrees and negative 60 degrees relative to the ground, giving the bike its distinctive stance and 'lean' potential. A rear double swing-arm suspension and dual stressed leaf-style connecting rods form the suspension, both with the 'tilt enable.'
No word on performance, but judging by the video available on the Type 1's dedicated website, turning might be an issue, with a full-on, knee-to-the-tarmac corner likely an exercise best left to the brave (or crazy).

Just the Facts?: Actual Bigfoot Photo Released? -- China's Ghost Brides -- Warranty Doesn't Cover Alien Invasion
PBS Statement: Hovey Bigfoot Photo Released
Thought this may interest you. Today at 1:00 pm, Melissa Hovey will be releasing what could very well be the clearest photo of a Bigfoot released since the Patterson-Gimlin Film.
The photo was sent to her four years ago and she promised not to release it to the witness at his request. Melissa attempted for the last few years trying to get more information from the witness and the supposed additional photos that were told existed.
The witness disappeared and would not return any of her emails or attempts to contact him.
At any rate, she posted on her blog that she would give the witness one more chance to contact her or she was releasing it. He has not and she has decided to release the photo today.
I have seen the photo about a year ago. I was very privileged to see it. It is a very clear photo. The clearest I have seen to date.
I can not say if it is legit or a hoax. If it is a hoax, it is one of the best I have seen to date. If it is real this is the closest and clearest photo I have seen to date.
Here is the link to check it out and judge for yourself. I've examined this photo for countless hours and my thinking and honest opinion, is it is almost too good to be true. What do you think? Take a look.
The Clearest Photo Of Bigfoot Since Patterson-Gimlin Released By Melissa Hovey?

New type of legless amphibian discovered in India
But this legless amphibian's time in obscurity has ended, thanks to an intrepid team of biologists led by University of Delhi professor Sathyabhama Das Biju. Over five years of digging through forest beds in the rain, the team has identified an entirely new family of amphibians – called chikilidae – endemic to the region but with ancient links to Africa.
Their discovery, published today in a journal of the Royal Society of London, gives yet more evidence that India is a hotbed of amphibian life with habitats worth protecting against the country's industry-heavy development agenda.
It also gives exciting new evidence in the study of prehistoric species migration, as well as evolutionary paths influenced by continental shift.
"This is a major hot spot of biological diversity, but one of the least explored," Biju said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We hope this new family will show the importance of funding research in the area. We need to know what we have, so we can know what to save."
His first effort in conserving the chikilidae was to give it a scientific name mirroring what the locals use in their Garo language. The chikilidae is a caecilian, the most primitive of three amphibian groups that also include frogs and salamanders.
"We hope when the locals see the name, and their language, being used across the world, they will understand this animal's importance and join in trying to save it," Biju said. "India's biodiversity is fast depleting. We are destroying these habitats without mercy."
The chikilidae's home in long-ignored tropical forests now faces drastic change under programs to cut trees, plant rice paddy, build roads and generate industry as India's economic growth fuels a breakneck drive in development. More industrial pollutants, more pesticides and more people occupying more land may mean a world of trouble for a creature that can be traced to the earliest vertebrates to creep across land.
Biju – a botanist-turned-herpetologist now celebrated as India's "Frogman" – has made it his life work to find and catalogue new species. There are too many cases of "nameless extinction," with animals disappearing before they are ever known, he said. "We don't even know what we're losing."
Amphibians are particularly vulnerable, and have drastically declined in recent decades. The same sensitivity to climate and water quality that makes them perfect environmental barometers also puts them at the greatest risk when ecological systems go awry.
Biju, however, is working the reverse trend. Since 2001, he has discovered 76 new species of plants, caecilians and frogs – vastly more than any other scientist in India – and estimates 30-40 per cent of the country's amphibians are yet to be found.
Within the chikilidae family, the team has already identified three species, and is on its way to classing three more, he said.
The chikilidae's discovery, made along with co-researchers from London's Natural History Museum and Vrije University in Brussels, brings the number of known caecilian families in the world to 10. Three are in India and others are spread across the tropics in southeast Asia, Africa and South America. There is debate about the classifications, however, and some scientists count even fewer caecilian families.
Because they live hidden underground, and race off at the slightest vibration, much less is known about them than their more famous – and vocal – amphibious cousins, the frogs. Only 186 of the world's known amphibious species are caecilians, compared with more than 6,000 frog species – a third of which are considered endangered or threatened.
Even people living in northeast Indians misunderstand the caecilians, and rare sightings can inspire terror and revulsion, with farmers and villagers chopping them in half out of the mistaken belief that they are poisonous snakes.
In fact, the chikilidae is harmless, and may even be the farmer's best friend – feasting on worms and insects that might harm crops, and churning the soil as it moves underground.
Much remains to be discovered in further study, Biju said, as many questions remain about how the creatures live.
So far, Biju's team has determined that an adult chikilidae will remain with its eggs until they hatch, forgoing food for some 50 days. When the eggs hatch, the young emerge as tiny adults and squirm away.
They grow to about 4 inches, and can ram their hard skulls through some of the region's tougher soils, shooting off quickly at the slightest vibration. "It's like a rocket," Biju said. "If you miss it the first try, you'll never catch it again."
A possibly superfluous set of eyes is shielded under a layer of skin, and may help the chikilidae gauge light from dark as in other caecilian species.
DNA testing suggests the chikilidae's closest relative is in Africa – with the two evolutionary paths splitting some 140 million years ago when dinosaurs roamed what was then a southern supercontinent called Gondwana, since separated into today's continents of Africa, Antarctica, Australia, South America and the Indian subcontinent.
Biju's team worked best during monsoon season, when the digging is easier and chikilidae lay eggs in waterlogged soils. Gripping garden spades with blistered hands, the researchers along with locals they hired spent about 2,600 man hours digging for the elusive squiggle's, usually found about 16 inches deep.
"It was back-breaking work," said research fellow Rachunliu Kamei, who even passed out in the forest once, and some days found not even one specimen.
"But there is motivation in knowing this is an uncharted frontier," said Kamei, lead researcher and main author of the study paper. - telegraph
Maine 3-year-old walks mile in middle of night
A 3-year-old Maine girl, possibly confused by a dream, walked a mile to a grocery store in the middle of the night through freshly fallen snow, thinking her mother was inside buying pizza.
Hope Trott woke up in the middle of the night, put on little ruby red shoes, threw a jacket on over her nightdress and walked to the store with the temperature at 29 degrees, police said. An employee found the girl crying outside the store at 4 a.m. Wednesday and called police.
"He got to the door and the little girl came walking down the sidewalk," Melanie Devoe, assistant store manager, said Wednesday. "She was crying, saying, 'My mommy is in there.' He knew she wasn't because the alarm was on and the door was locked.
"He zipped her coat up, and he came in here and called 911, then went back out with her," Devoe said.
Officers followed the child's footprints to her Baileyville home, found the front door open, and thinking a home invasion was in progress, entered with guns drawn, police told the Bangor Daily News. They found Hope's parents, Laura and Jesse Trott, and her older siblings, Hunter and Ann, fast asleep.
Laura Trott said it was a frightening experience and she was shocked to find out why police were there. She not sure what caused her daughter to leave the house.
"I don't know if she woke up in a dream and thought I went to the store to get a pizza, but she went to look for me," she said.
The family has since installed a chain and deadbolt to their door. - wishtv
Dead woman gets married off twice
In a shocking incident in China, a dead woman was found to be married off not once but twice.
A family sold their daughter's corpse for about $5,000 to a man who wanted to perform a marriage ceremony between two dead bodies. It is known as 'yin' marriage in China, reports Global Times.
After the wedding ceremoney with a difference, the dead couple were buried in the same tomb. However, it was later discovered that the grave was dug up and the deceased bride's body was missing from the tomb.
The matter was immediately reported to the police and the investigating authorities found that a group of five men had stolen the corpse and sold it off to another interested party for an exhorbitant amount for yet another yin marriage ceremony. The probe is on.
NOTE: The following is a post from 2009 that explains this practice in China...Lon
'Ghost Bride' Practice Continues in China
Five people have been arrested in China for digging up the corpse of a young woman to be a "ghost bride" for a man killed in a car crash.
The suspects included a grieving father who allegedly paid his four accomplices around £2,700 pounds to find a female to be his son's companion in the afterlife.
The men were caught after unearthing the remains of a teenage girl who had poisoned herself after failing her university entrance exams last year. In rural China, superstitious villagers have for centuries sought out the bodies of recently deceased woman to be ghost brides for young men who die single.
Marriage ceremonies are conducted for the two corpses, and the bride is placed in the same grave as her husband.
Under Chairman Mao's rule, officials made strenuous efforts to stamp out the ghoulish practice but it has since resurfaced in some rural areas.
Last year, a gang in southern China was arrested for strangling young women to sell as ghost brides when the supply of female corpses in their area ran short.
The Ghost Brides of China
They are murdered to give dead bachelors a wife in the afterlife.
A ring of gangsters who traded in the bodies of women they murdered, selling them as brides to keep dead bachelors happy in the afterlife, has been arrested in China.
The arrests have exposed a trade that places a higher value on women when they are dead than when they are alive.
• Traditional Chinese belief holds that the living must tend to the wants and needs of dead relatives, who exist in an afterlife
• The tradition manifests itself in the burning of fake money or paper models of luxury goods
• It is believed by some that an unmarried life is incomplete, leading to the practice of minghun — burying single sons with recently dead young women to provide them with a wife in the afterlife
• Parents of a dead daughter often regard the money received in selling her for minghun as recompense for the dowry that they did not receive in her lifetime, while also posthumously elevating their child's place in a patriarchal society
• Communist authorities tried to ban the practice, which datesfrom the Zhou dynasty (1122-256BC). It was also forbidden in the Book of Rites, texts that describe religious practices from the eighth to the fifth century BC
• Minghun survives mainly in the poor rural north, particularly in the remote plateau on the upper reaches of the Yellow River
Yang Dongyan, 35, was arrested in Sha'anxi province as he played cards with his children. In his prison cell, Yang showed little remorse for committing two murders. He told the Legal Daily: "I just wanted to make money. It's a quick way to make money. I was arrested too soon otherwise I had planned to do this business a few more times."
Two accomplices, Liu Shengbao and Hui Haibao, were also arrested, as was Li Longsheng, a self-styled undertaker who traded the bodies to bereaved families.
Zhang Yanjun, chief of police in Yanchuan county, said: "It's lucky that the case was cleared up in time or we don't know how many women would have been killed by them. These people thought they had found a short cut to wealth." Instead, they face the death penalty.
The men preyed on the superstitions of ill-educated farmers eager to ensure that a dead son was happy in the afterlife. It is not uncommon in rural parts of China for a family to seek out the body of a woman who has died to be buried alongside their son after the performance of a marriage ceremony for the deceased pair.
Ancestor worship is a tradition that runs through many aspects of Chinese life. One of the main Chinese festivals is Tomb Sweeping Day, when families visit graves of their forebears to clean them and burn incense. The spirit is believed to live on in the afterlife and at funerals families burn offerings of paper money and models of houses, cars and other little luxuries that the dead may need.
Yang chanced upon the trade in dead bodies when he paid 12,000 yuan (£800) for a mentally handicapped woman whose family hoped to marry her off for a price. The trade in women as wives is a common practice in rural China and a woman may be sold several times by intermediaries before meeting her eventual husband.
Yang arranged for the woman to stay in a guesthouse in Yanchuan county where Mr Liu offered him $1,310 for her.Yang refused, until Liu told him the woman would be worth much more dead than alive. The next morning the two men set out across the Yellow River to meet "Old Li" in Xixian County, Shanxi province. Old Li agreed to buy the woman's body for $2,067 and to complete the deal late at night on the Yanshuiguan bridge.
The next day Yang killed the woman and took her body by taxi to the bridge where Mr Li was waiting and handed over $1,969 for her. For his part in the deal, Mr Liu received $590 andYang came away with a loss of $394 after his expenses.
Back at the guesthouse, Yang told an old acquaintance, Hui, he had found an easy way to make money. The two men agreed to go into the body business together. Last November they sought out a prostitute they knew in nearby Yan'an — the city where Chairman Mao began his Communist revolution — but she threw them out after they said that they could not afford to pay her $40. They returned the next morning and killed her.
On December 3 they completed a similar body handover with Li on the bridge. This time they made only $1,043 because the buyer was unhappy with the quality of the body and, after costs, Yang and his two friends each earned $196 on that deal.
Old Li had made a name for himself in Xixian county by selling clothes to outfit the dead and by handing out cards that offered to help families in need of a spirit marriage. They want young and good-looking dead brides for their sons and regard the family of the girl as "in-laws". Police discovered that Li paid between $1,043 and $1,300 for a body and sold it on for as much as $4,500.

Acer: Warranty doesn't cover alien invasions
If you're worried an alien invasion could inadvertently fry your PC's motherboard, I would not recommend picking up an Acer at your local Best Buy.
There is a very interesting tidbit buried deep in Acer's warranty stipulations: Space invasions are not covered.
Sorry, resistance fighters. If you laptop is clipped by a stray laser blast during humanity's last stand, you're on your own.
Under the warranty extension program chapter, it's noted the plan does not cover "damage caused by natural disaster, intentional or unintentional misuse, acts of war, space invasions, abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or use under abnormal conditions."
So, galactic conquest falls somewhere between misuse and neglect. Good to know.
When you think about it, it kind of makes sense: Now we know why Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum packed a Mac to deliver that MacGuffin computer virus to the mothership. - blastr
Alien abductee claims U.S. Presidency
UFO Phil, a self-appointed intergalactic frontrunner for president, announced today he has been granted authority to assume the job without waiting for the November election.
"I'm going to become your new president. ... Don't worry, [Barak] Obama, Mitt Romney and whoever else can still have their little election. That's not going to affect me," said UFO Phil, whose real name is Phil Hill.
A published composer, comedy songwriter, documentary filmmaker and self-proclaimed "man of science," Hill has even appeared on the small screen alongside actor and comedian Tom Green. His single "Listening to Coast to Coast" serves as a theme song for "Coast to Coast AM" on the Premiere Radio Network.
In interviews with Peter King of CBS, The Huffington Post and other media outlets, Hill revealed he is in possession of secret scrolls that are written by beings from another planet. Those documents, Hill claims, give him the authority to assume presidential leadership without a democratic election.
Once he assumed presidency, Hill said he would establish a "Senate for Terrestrial Alien Relations," to welcome the arrival of "brothers from space." Hill also said he will decommission all military ships at sea, in favor of a new fleet of flying discs with spaceports in major cities around the globe.
In addition, Phil wants to build a giant stone pyramid behind the Hollywood sign. The pyramid would be similar to the ones he wants to build on top of Pikes Peak in Colorado and on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.
The pyramids, however, won't be the only change coming, Hill said.
"The Statue of Liberty has to come down," Hill told HuffPost. In its place, Hill said he will erect a much taller "Monument of Zaxon." Zaxon, according to Hill, is the leader of the good aliens. "He has very nice skin and will look phenomenal as a statue," Hill said.
If UFO Phil's campaign promises sound a bit over-ambitious, it's because he plans to become president of earth, not just the United States.
Hill also plans to hold a live concert for extraterrestrials on June 10, 2012, to correspond with the arrival of aliens on Earth, an event foretold centuries ago by the Mayans, he said. The show will take place in California at the site of the legendary 1967 Monterrey Pop Festival.
"When I'm president we'll finally have full disclosure," Hill promised. "I'm going to release all the top secret government UFO files to the public on DVD and Blu-ray, with special features." - THP

Anthony Davis Speaks On Pelicans Struggles, Says "Everyone Is Frustrated"
The New Orleans Pelicans have been having a tough go of issues this season. While the workforce made the playoffs final yr and even gained a spherical, this yr hasn't been what they anticipated. Right now the Pelicans sit in 14th place within the Western Conference and have misplaced seven of their final 9 video games. Most just lately, the Pelicans misplaced to the Brooklyn nets 126-121 on Wednesday evening. The loss sparked famous person Anthony Davis to touch upon the workforce's struggles.
"We're a greater workforce than our document exhibits. Everyone is pissed off. Players, coaches, entrance workplace. We've simply acquired to do higher," Davis advised ESPN. "We wasn't taking part in no protection. The entire first half, they did no matter they wished. They did not really feel us on the defensive finish. We wasn't bodily, wasn't speaking. They acquired a number of layups, a number of open 3s. They shot the ball extraordinarily nicely within the first half on account of our lazy protection."
Davis completed the sport with 34 factors and even a career-high 26 rebounds however as he identified, the workforce's protection proved to be their downfall.
Despite the struggles, Davis believes the workforce will bounce again saying "We know what we did final yr. We understand how good of a workforce we're this yr."
The Pelicans will attempt to flip issues round after they play the final place Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.

When it comes to options of living lavishly in Singapore, there is a strong desire to dwell in an apartment that meets the highest living standard. All apartments in the downtown of Singapore ensure lavish amenities, along with very easy access to various destinations. But, living in an exclusive condominium like the Principal Garden means more than just a luxury living. Situated in the prestigious GCB (Good Class Bungalow), Principle Garden has everything that all apartment owners need. It is not only surrounded by outstanding amenities like fancy restaurants, malls, and schools, but it has such an easy access to all important venues throughout the island.
Everyone dreams of living luxuriously within a very comfortable apartment, with fully equipped amenities that can accommodate their high-class needs. The same thing applies to property owners in Singapore. This city is full of space-craving, busy people, who demand of living conveniently in an elegant apartment, with such a close range to major venues.
This is the major concern of UOL. As the leading developer, which is very popular for its lavish apartments, UOL gives everything that property owners need through the flawlessly designed apartment like the Principal Garden. The reputation of the developer is definitely outstanding, thanks to its impressive property with very fast return of investment, without taking the convenient living aspect for granted.
The same thing applies to the Principal Garden. This newly launched apartment is situated in the central of Prince Charles Crescent Road, the area where important venues are located. Important venues, within a very close walking distance of this apartment, includes Redhill MRT, Central Business District, and, of course, the shopping heaven, Orchard Shopping Belt. Another alternative of shopping and dining haven is Tiong Bahru Plaza, in which it is reachable by taking an express, comfortable train within very few minutes.
What's more, Principal Garden is very adjacent to such a major expressway like Alexandra Road, Ayer Rajah, and Tanglin Road. It means, reaching every corner of Singapore is very convenient, without the bothering traffic jam.
It is easy to find skyscrapers condo throughout this city. Yet, it is not easy to find an apartment where every dweller has unobstructed views of the city, along with the greeneries which are rarely found. This is the main reason, why almost all units in the Principle Garden are sold out, even if this apartment is launched in October 2015. Here, there is no ground floor, the least favorite part of almost all condominium owners. On the other hand, its lowest floor has the same level as the sixth floor of common apartments in Singapore.
Principal Garden is a family-friendly apartment, with remarkable facilities for all family members within, as well as nearby schools and kids' top venues around. Among the most reputable schools with very easy access include Alexandra Primary School, Henderson Secondary School, Gan Eng Seng, CHIJ St Theresia Convert and so forth.
Meanwhile, business people also find this apartment as their best option of first-class living and fast ROI (Return Of Investment). They can enjoy all of those luxury amenities at ease, in such an affordable price. For price list, click here.

The Keys Academy Trust (TKAT) is structured with three layers of governance:
Local Governors who make up the Local Governing Body for each of the academies within the Trust.
The Members are accountable to the Department of Education (DfE) and have ultimate responsibility for the Trust achieving its charitable objectives. Members are independent of the Trustees and provide challenge and scrutiny to the Trustees.
The Members have appointed a Board of Trustees who set the strategic direction for The Keys and are accountable to the DfE for the performance of the schools within it. As charity Trustees, they must also ensure that they are complying with charity law requirements.
Each school within The Keys has its own local governing body (LGB) which is a committee of the Board of Trustees. Local governing bodies have governance functions delegated to them by the Trust Board for their school are they are accountable to the Board.
Our Trustees and Local Governors come from a wide variety of backgrounds; from finance, corporate business and education and include parents, members of the parish and the local community. The term of office of usually four years, apart from the CEO who is ex-officio.
The governance structure within The Keys delegates the 'business' matters of running schools to the Board of Trustees and the administration team, thus enabling the Headteachers/Heads of School to focus on teaching and learning and school improvement. Systems are in place for HR processes; financial planning and internal control; premises management; and the reporting and benchmarking of school performance data.

The South End Concept Plan returns for another hearing. Concept plans for future development within urban growth boundaries are required by law. Oregon City completed two concept plans -- Park Place and Beavercreek. South End will be the third and final one.
The South End plan covers 478 acres, some of it outside city limits. The new zoning allows for higher density development and sets zoning for land that may be annexed into the city.
Opponents of the plan say higher density will overload roads and could allow construction on unstable slopes. City officials said there are ways to accommodate increased traffic and existing rules prohibit construction within 200 feet of landslide prone area.
Commissioners also will approve another heritage tree, a century-old sugar maple at 515 Fifth St. It will be the city's fourth historic tree. The designation is intended give some legal protection to historic trees.
The Meeting as at City Hall, 615 Center St., and starts at 7 p.m.
