Q: How to get information about a function and call it I want to make a function that detects if a method exists for given instance, what are the parameters that can be passed in and then call the method with proper parameters. I am novice and I have no idea how to do it :(

A: Try hasattr
>>> help(hasattr)
Help on built-in function hasattr in module __builtin__:

hasattr(...)
    hasattr(object, name) -> bool

    Return whether the object has an attribute with the given name.
    (This is done by calling getattr(object, name) and catching exceptions.)

For more advanced introspection read about the inspect module.
But first, tell us why you need this. There's a 99% chance that a better way exists...

A: Python supports duck typing - simply call the method on the instance.

A: Are you trying to align argument values with a function that has a unknown signature?
How will you match up argument values and parameter variables?  Guess?
You'd have to use some kind of name matching.
For example something like this.
someObject.someMethod( thisParam=aValue, thatParam=anotherValue )

Oh.  Wait.  That's already a first-class part of Python.
But what if the method doesn't exist (for inexplicable reasons).
try:
    someObject.someMethod( thisParam=aValue, thatParam=anotherValue )
except AttributeError:
    method doesn't exist.

A: class Test(object):
    def say_hello(name,msg = "Hello"):
        return name +' '+msg

def foo(obj,method_name):
    import inspect
    # dir gives info about attributes of an object
    if method_name in dir(obj):
        attr_info = eval('inspect.getargspec(obj.%s)'%method_name)
        # here you can implement logic to call the method
        # using attribute information
        return 'Done'
    else:
        return 'Method: %s not found for %s'%(method_name,obj.__str__)

if __name__=='__main__':
    o1 = Test()
    print(foo(o1,'say_hello'))
    print(foo(o1,'say_bye'))

I think inspect module will be of very much help to you.
Main functions used in above code are dir,eval,inspect.getargspec. You can get related help in python docs.

COVID-19 impact to a child
Op-Ed by Rommel V. Fuerte, World Vision National Director
The Covid-19 global pandemic declared by the World Health Organization has become what it is —- overwhelming and staggering in number of growing cases and deaths worldwide.
As of writing, there are now over 150,000 confirmed cases and 5753 deaths globally. In the country, 140 cases have been confirmed while 12 deaths were recorded.
We realize these are not just numbers or statistics, but lives of people lost and threatened by the virus, inflicting fear and more uncertainty to our humanity. Reports have also shown that the senior or old-aged patients have become more vulnerable, or so we thought.
Children are not exempted
The health department on March 15 reported the youngest confirmed case of a 13-year old. Although reports show that more deaths are among the elderly, children seem to be less susceptible to the virus, that case only confirmed that children are not spared.
This pandemic now gets to be more alarming and personal, as we could possibly lose our sons and daughters, our little nephews and nieces, and the generation of today from this dreaded outbreak.
Aside from getting the virus, they are also still vulnerable to the impacts of this pandemic — children witness families struggling with government lockdowns that prevent their parents from earning a living. Children may lose a parent or an adult caregiver because of the disease. School closures, home quarantines, and psychological distress add up to the negative effects on children's emotional, social and physical well-being.
And for a child, this intimidating outbreak more than meets the eye. It has become, for them, everything.
Let us dissect and anticipate how this outbreak impacts the children especially those directly affected and currently living in the most vulnerable and poor conditions. As part of the civil society committed to help the government uplift the lives of the children and the youth especially at this point of our nation's health crisis, we can only take the road forward investing for the children's protection and better future.
Health and WASH Issue
In the many communities we have worked with nationwide through World Vision, we ensure that children and families are protected and informed through intensified awareness and behaviour campaigns on proper handwashing and hygiene practices.
But in the long term, experts also highlight the importance of having a strong immune system in fighting diseases including the new virus COVID-19. We have to be intentional in prioritizing child well-being programs that seek to address the slow decline in prevalence of chronic undernutrition among children zero to five years old, as well as the strengthening efforts to address acute malnutrition. Access to sanitation, hygiene, and safe drinking water, both in development and emergency context is critical for health and nutrition and the reduction of public health risk, especially among children. During disasters and conflict, affected populations are vulnerable to diseases such as cholera, and diarrhea, so Integrated Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (IWASH) facilities should be key. How can we fight a deadly virus like Covid-19 if many of our schools and poor communities yet have no access to clean drinking water to start with?
Disrupted Education
The suspension of classes in Metro Manila and other provinces became a measure to slow down the spread of the virus. Will the children cope studying at home as they are forced to read more to catch up with lessons. Initiatives like World Vision's "Brigada Pagbasa", in partnership with The Department of Education (DepEd) and other like-minded groups, promotes the improvement of functional literacy through equitable access to age-appropriate, culture sensitive, and contextualized learning programs. The challenge now for everyone,especially in the education department, is how to ensure that children's education is not compromised by the class suspensions. This is also a call to parents to maximise this time to cultivate their children's love for learning. With social media to contend with in the next days of community quarantine, teachers, parents, and the students alike should have more intentional programs virtually to encourage the habit of reading books.
Well-being and protection of children
WHO offered several advice for coping with stress for children in a pandemic. During emergencies, it is common and normal for both adults and children to feel sad, nervous, upset, confused, afraid, or irritable, and that talking to someone trusted like family members or friends will improve their mood. It helps that in dealing with children, one is calm and does not create panic, and is able to provide correct information and explain why the child needs to stay at home, wash hands and observe other safety measures. Likewise, the presence of another adult caregiver or relative that will take care of the children must be ensured.
Children are able to enjoy life in all its fullness when they feel safe, free and comfortable in their environment – when they enjoy good health, when the people they trust are with them, when the things they need are provided, and when they can perform activities normal activities like going to school and playing with friends, without fear or hesitation.
Working and surviving together
Let us continue to work with the national government agencies and local government units in mitigating possible secondary impact of this pandemic to the children. Part of promoting children's protection is providing children with the right information on how to protect themselves, promotion of best handwashing and hygiene practices and providing psychosocial support to reduce stress, fear and stigma.Our support and cooperation less the panic and the blaming game is what is needed for us to overcome this huge challenge we are confronted with as one humanity. We are one for dear life, one for a healthier and safer tomorrow, one for children!

"Creativity and technology in the age of AI" presents key data and analysis from an international qualitative research study conducted by Pfeiffer Consulting during the summer of 2018.
This research was commissioned by Adobe, with the goal to interview creative professionals in order to thoroughly understand the role technology plays in their creative process. The research also closely covered the role of AI and machine learning (ML), the attitudes of creative professionals to these emerging technologies, and their perceived impact on creative work.
The research consisted in qualitative research interviews with over 75 creative professionals working in design, illustration and imaging, motion graphics and UX/UI design. Interviews were free-flowing discussions that lasted between 45 minutes and two hours.
The research covered the United States, Europe (covering Germany and the UK) and Japan. Over 110 interviews were conducted.
Professional experience ranged from 2 to over 35 years, and many of the respondents have produced work for companies such as Apple, Adidas, Amnesty International, Audi, Coca-Cola, Converse, Disney, Facebook, Google, Hayakawa SF, Instagram, Kelloggs, Nike (Gyakuso), Pepsi, Panasonic, Samsung, Swarovski, Tokyu Group, VW, WMF among many others.
Participants were creative professionals who were found and recruited based on Behance portfolios and recommendations from other professionals. A minority of respondents were referred by Adobe, but most were identified by their portfolios and appreciations.


Samsung has just announced several new and improved software development kits (SDK) at its first ever developers conference in San Francisco that could mean lots more features to your existing Samsung hardware. The biggest news is a new multiscreen SDK that would allow users to share content across various Samsung devices, be it smartphones or their television set, thanks to a new cloud-based publishing system. Especially exciting for gamers, Samsung has also partnered with Unity technologies to create a multiscreen gaming engine that allows for gaming on any TV -- as long as you use a Samsung phone or tablet of course. It also showed off the Gamepad attachment that was revealed at IFA this year. "We take the very best of what Unity is, and combine it with the best of what Samsung has to offer," said David Helgason, CEO of Unity, on stage.
Speaking of smartphones and tablets, Samsung has also released a fresh mobile SDK that would lead to a number of improvements to current handsets. There's a lot to dig through here, but a few notable ones include more precise S-Pen controls, new visual animations, seamless handwriting recognition, and a multi-window capability that lets you run multiple resizable apps simultaneously. An example of this was shown at the conference using the new Twitter app, where you can tweet and browse the web at the same time. What especially delighted us is something called Samsung Chord, which essentially promises peer to peer connections across devices. A stage demonstration showed how you could use Chord to "pinch" the screens of two side-by-side tablets to instantly connect them and start playing a joint game of air hockey.
Going back to televisions, the company also unveiled a revised Smart TV 5.0 SDK that plays well with the multiscreen SDK mentioned earlier. This allows content partners like Pandora to incorporate Samsung Connect so that you can broadcast music from your phone to your home entertainment system. Smart TV 5.0 also now supports close captioning for video apps and just better search overall. Last but not least, the Korean firm also revealed the Knox SDK that lets corporate workers bring their own Galaxy device into their work environment without compromising security.
We've barely scratched the surface of what Samsung has released to the developer community today, and we're sure devs are chomping at the bit to get at the new tools. David Eun, Executive VP and head of Samsung's Open Innovation Center, said on stage that he hopes all this development will result in better convergence between devices, stating that "we are well on our way to the connected home." While we can't say that'll actually happen, we do admit we're excited to see what consumers will get out of today's announcements. Interested parties can check out the press release after the break to find out more.
Update: Courtesy of Android Central, we've embedded the stream of Samsung's keynote presentation, right after the break.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.― Oct. 28, 2013 ― Today at the Samsung Developers Conference (#SDC13), Samsung Electronics released five new and improved software development kits (SDKs) for creating consumer and enterprise apps on its smartphones, tablets and Smart TVs. The new SDKs, available in beta today, exemplify Samsung's focus on equipping software developers with the tools, resources and support necessary to foster a connected multiscreen experience across Samsung devices.
"There are close to half a billion connected devices in the world today, yet a very limited portion are actually connected to each other," said Dr. Won-Pyo Hong, President of the Samsung Electronics Media Solution Center. "Samsung is creating one of the largest connected platforms spanning a broad range of devices that people love and use every day, including smartphones, tablets, TVs and much more. We are clearing a path for creative developers who want to participate in this multiscreen future, and the SDKs we are releasing today give them a way to start creating for multiscreen, and take advantage of our leadership across so many screens."
The new SDKs include a more streamlined Samsung Mobile SDK, Samsung Multiscreen SDK, Samsung Multiscreen Gaming SDK, and a Samsung Smart TV SDK. Also, Samsung KNOX SDK will be introduced and highlighted at the conference.
・ Samsung Multiscreen SDK is an all-new SDK that allows developers take advantage of Samsung's market leadership in smartphones and smart TVs. Based on a cloud publishing system, the Multiscreen SDK includes APIs for one-touch discovery and pairing of devices, which allows for content sharing across devices.
・ A streamlined version of the Samsung Mobile SDK is now available. The SDK now combines 10 individual packages, including the latest groundbreaking S Pen, Media Control, Professional Audio, and Gesture, into a single integrated SDK for easier overall development.
・ Samsung has partnered with Unity Technologies to create the Samsung Multiscreen Gaming SDK. It is a gaming engine built on top of the Samsung Multiscreen SDK that allows game developers to create immersive multiscreen gaming experiences that people play on any big screen TV using a Samsung smartphone or tablet as a console.
・ The Samsung Smart TV SDK lets developers and content partners create applications for Samsung Smart TVs. This version includes WebEngine 2014 for support of next year's Smart TVs, as well as Samsung Connect for multiscreen support. The SDK also now supports SmartHome development, closed captioning so that subtitles can appear in video apps, and improved content filtering and search.
・ The Samsung KNOX SDK provides security and management enhancements, including its unique application container technology. Developers now have the ability to develop enterprisesolutions that enable enterprises to support Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) without compromising either corporate security or employee privacy.
Sponsors of the Samsung Developers Conference include Appbackr, Bitcasa, Box, Centrify, Challenge Post, Charge Anywhere, Cisco, DJ Flying Quadcopters, Gameloft, Gracenote, Immersion Game Pavillion, Intel, Nuance, PayPal, Salesforce.com, SAP, Sencha and SOTI.
The Samsung Developers Conference is the company's inaugural global developer event taking place today, October 28, and tomorrow, October 29, at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco. A live stream of the keynote session and a series of attendee interviews will be available during the two-day conference on AndroidCentral: www.androidcentral.com/sdc13. Join the conversation online on Google+, Facebook, and Twitter with hashtag #SDC13. The official show app, is powered by Topi and available for free on Google Play. You can also stay on top of the latest happenings at the event and connect with friends with the Samsung ChatON app, available on all app stores.

Whatever happened to the moral and ethical arguments of political debate?
I may be wrong, but I have the sense that political candidates this time around are avoiding speaking in church services. Yes, they have visited congregations here and there, but this does not seem to be a very "religious" campaign. Maybe media have not covered their visits to congregations. Maybe the candidates are worried about crossing the church/state IRS barrier. Or, maybe they have not been invited.
I would not be surprised to find that religious bodies have had enough of current political shenanigans and are loathe to get involved with any of the major candidates. No matter which way you lean, you have to admit that the level of discussion has been pretty low.
In fact, Trump didn't do so well at a Detroit church, and not long ago, Clinton gained a minimal crowd at one in Charlotte, N.C. So, I was surprised to learn that Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Sen. Tim Kaine spoke in a Miami church the other day, and in Spanish, no less.
Let it not be lost on anyone that the top of the Republican ticket does not seem fond of Spanish-speaking folks, or of immigrants in general. The angry words spewing from the right have splashed into every corner of the nation and inarguably caused deep grief among, even violence against folks who are just trying to earn a living.
The American Spanish language television network Univision some time ago blamed violent language for spiking anger against Hispanics. It seems to be true. Recently, a local gardener told me someone cut off his truck on the road, the driver screaming that the gardener was a %#!! Puerto Rican and that he should go back there. For the record, the gardener came from El Salvador forty years ago, and is a U.S. citizen.
Then there were the berry pickers scammed by two men who sold them phony rights to pick in a field in Okeechobee, Fla. The berry pickers lost their $40 or $50 each to the scammers, spent a night in jail, and are still waiting to get their bail money back. Their cases were dismissed, but the rich ranch owner, Boca Raton socialite Elaine Johnson Wold, ended up with $4,425.20 when her ranch manager sold the berries.
It is not only Spanish-speaking immigrants who are ripped off, mistreated and abused by both civilians and the system. In Garden City, Kan., police stopped three men who planned to bomb an apartment complex called Garden Spot, home to 120 Somali immigrants. The archbishop of Indianapolis had to face off the governor, who happens to be running for vice president and who didn't want Catholic Charities to help resettle Syrian refugees in Indiana.
And it's not just in the United States that the melting pot has turned into a witches' cauldron. All over the world, refugees are trying to find not so much a better life, just a life. In Sweden a band of masked men handed out leaflets recommending violence against immigrants. Complaints fill the air in Germany, in Italy, even in Canada.
As the worldwide anger against displaced individuals and families reaches epidemic proportions, clear dividing lines continue to appear between the haves and the have-nots. The righteousness of some current political rhetoric slams up against itself, creating a sludge of hate impossible to wash off. And precious little is done to dry the tears of those hungry and alone, homeless and on foot around the world.
We know all about sticks and stones and especially about words, which theoretically at least cannot hurt you. However, today words fuel an anger that propels bombs and fists across real or imagined divides, although in every case the weaponry seems directed at folks a little or a lot tanner than the perpetrators.
A lot of that anger is caused by politicians who are just not welcome in churches.

Apple loops and song key [SOLVED]
By alexfsu
November 6, 2012 in Logic Pro
alexfsu
I want to audition Apple Loops with my track, but everytime I put the loop in D# (the key of my track) and press play in puts it back in "song key", which is def not D#. How do I determine the song key of my track? Thanks.
everytime I put the loop in D# (the key of my track) and press play in puts it back in "song key"
Sounds like you just previewed the loop in D#, from the "Play in" menu at the bottom of the loop browser? That's only for previewing. Once dragged in the Arrange area a loop plays in the key of the project unless you change its transpose parameter (region parameters at the top of the inspector).
The key of your project can be edited in your global tracks, "signature" track. Double-click the signature (default should be C) then choose your key.
Thanks David. One more q: is putting the song in D# major the same as C minor?
I don't think loops have minor or major values. They only have a root key value. If you transpose the song signature from D# major to C minor, the loop wil be transposed from D# to C. So if you're using loops in parallel keys, you should transpose them up or down by three semitones.
Sorry if I'm not fully understanding: so loops in the key of C will work harmonically with a track in the key of D#? I ask because that current format seems to work, although I don't claim to have perfect pitch.
ALL loops can be transposed to any key. It is impossible for me to say how well they match harmonically in your case, since I don't know what they sound like.
Well I asked because D# major and C minor have the same notes in their respective scales, so wouldn't they technically match harmonically?
Ace Baker
Although D# and Eb are enharmonically the same note, 99.9% of the time in the real world you will refer to this key as Eb, because it is a flat key signature, ie. 3 flats, also known as C minor. The key signature of D# major would be 9 sharps, and I've never seen it. The relative minor of D# major would be B# minor, I've never seen that either.
If apple loops does not distinguish between minor and major, then your ears will have to. If you're in Eb major, and the loops says "Eb" and it sounds too dissonant, try moving it down 3 semitones to C. The relative minor is always 3 half steps below its related major key.
Yes, but does it matter? Logic transposes loops automatically regardless of the original scale. As far as I know, this transposition is done by matching the loop key with the song key, major or minor, doesn't matter. If the song is in major and the loop is in minor then the loop should be MANUALLY transposed three semitones down. I hope someone who's more familiar with using Apple loops could confirm this.
Here's a quote from the manual:
They are played back at the project key by default, which is defined by the first key signature event. No distinction is made between major and minor keys for these global transposition functions; in fact, only the root of the initial key signature is relevant for playback of Apple Loops
Yes, in MOST cases, you can use a D#major loop in the key of C minor. But whether or not it will work is up to your ears. You can manually transpose loops using the transpose parameter in the region parameters (top of the inspector).
Understood, thanks David.

Kylie Jenner on Her Split With Tyga: "We're Still Together"
Well, it's been a whirlwind week for anyone on Kylie Jenner-Tyga relationship watch. (And by "anyone," I mean, sadly, "me.") On Friday, reports came in that Kylie and Tyga had split because of, reportedly, something Tyga did. Kylie was also noticeably absent from his big birthday party (and social media), which was odd considering the two were previously joined at the hip. But we barely had time to mourn the end of their relationship when Kylie posted a confusing Snapchat telling everyone to "chill." So, chill we did—until Kylie and Tyga were spotted at the American Music Awards together holding hands. So, are they back together? Are they not? Stop wondering: Kylie has finally set the record straight, and she and Tyga are definitely still dating.
In a preview for an upcoming November 30 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kylie addresses the rumors after Ellen asks the reality star to "straighten it out."
"No, we're not broken up," Kylie reveals. "We just...honestly, we became best friends before anything happened, so I think that's awesome. And we're just like, I don't know, hanging out. Living life." She later adds that, yes, they are "still together."

1 In the first book, O aTheophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began bto do and teach, 2 until the day when che was taken up, after he dhad given commands ethrough the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 fHe presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during tall the time that the Lord Jesus uwent in and out among us, 22 vbeginning from the baptism of John until the day when whe was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us xa witness to his resurrection." 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called yBarsabbas, who was also called zJustus, and aMatthias. 24 And bthey prayed and said, "You, Lord, cwho know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in dthis ministry and eapostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

After spending nearly eight years mentoring and assisting clients and coworkers through tricky tech questions and working to build our amazing team as the VP of Technical Services, I took over the company from the founder, Jason Pongratz, in December of 2017 to continue our growth into an even more efficient, friendly and customer-focused team!
Started working in IT when I was 16 and I've been learning ever since. Joined the company in 2010 and became owner in 2017.
Wife of 13 years, Ruth, and two children: a 12-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter.
I like to unwind with several sitcoms like Speechless, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, and Life in Pieces, and dig into entertaining but scripted dramas like the superhero shows Flash/Supergirl/Legend's of Tomorrow/Arrow, and my wife (who is not a comics fan) and I watch Designated Survivor and This Is Us, plus the above sitcoms.
Family Time, Technology & Gadgets, Target Shooting (on occasion), Podcast Listening, and Reading about Information Security and Business Leadership and Development.
My commute leaves time for listening and I enjoy a wide variety of podcasts on topics ranging from management to information security, programming to history, and more. A few of the many I listen to regularly are: The Accidental Tech Podcast, The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe, Manager Tools, SANS Internet Stormcenter Daily Stormcast, Business Security Weekly, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update, Random Trek with Scott McNulty, and Deadly Manners.
My reading time fluctuates frequently, but I've started adding audiobooks alongside my podcast regimen. Recent books I enjoyed include: Traction and Get a Grip (both by Gino Wickman), Who: The A Method for Hiring (by Geoff Smart and Randy Street), The Motivation Myth (by Jeff Haden), and the expansive tome Reamde (by Neal Stephenson), clocking in at 40 hours for the audio book! I recently received an advanced copy of a book published by FranklinCovey called Fierce Loyalty and I've already started digging in!
I've only been to one other country—the Netherlands—but I've gone twice with my church to run the worship technology for our choir and band.
My iPhone used to have over 600 apps…I'm not even sure where to begin…but I pared down last rebuild!
I really enjoy the Overcast podcast player and use it heavily on my commute.

Q: How to get the value of an input dynamically Currently I am storing the values of the text inputs and selects from a table in the options variable.
var options = $(tbody).find("select option:selected").map( (_, e) => $(e).text().trim() ).get();
var msgs = $(tbody).find("input[type='text']").map( (_, e) => $(e).val().trim() ).get();
options.splice(2, 0, msgs[0]);
options.splice(4, 0, msgs[1]);

The thing is, for selects, in addition to the text, I would also like to know the value.
I'd like to get it with something like: options[5].val; But obviously it doesn't work.
What is the most typical/correct JavaScript way of achieving a similar result?

Cycling to Zhuhai – and other migrant worker adventures
The mainstream media in China often portrays young migrant workers as troubled and oppressed and only focuses only on their problems. But last weekend, I had the chance to spend some time with a group of young workers from Shenzhen who displayed a side not often seen in mainstream media – youthful curiosity, imagination, and generosity of spirit.
One of those workers, Ms. Wang, is originally from Sichuan and works in a factory in Shenzhen earning no more than 2,000 yuan per month, which when combined with her boyfriend's income is just enough to get by. Ms. Wang is a second generation migrant worker. Her parents worked in Shenzhen before her but Wang still did not have a Shenzhen residency (hukou). Then again, she did not think having Shenzhen residency was that important.
She had come to Hong Kong with her boyfriend and a group of other workers. And one evening, they all rode the tram to Causeway Bay, a popular shopping district in Hong Kong awash with colorful neon billboards. Many of them wanted to know where they could buy a particular brand of "magical" medicine that could can arthritis.
Ms. Wang said she wanted to buy it for her uncle, who was a construction worker. Several of the young men who worked in factories or as supermarket cashiers and security guards wanted it for themselves.
While we were riding the tram, one young woman told us how she had bought a bicycle for just 90 yuan and ridden it for two whole days all the way from Shenzhen to Zhuhai just to hang out with her friends there.
"I was riding at just ten kilometers per hour and was always overtaken by professional bike riders but I didn't care and continued to enjoy myself," she laughed.
Everyone was very impressed. She then invited anyone interested to join her some day for an "easy" 50 kilometer ride from Shenzhen to Humen.
A factory foreman, who was part of the group countered that: "riding a bike is boring. Isn't it better to ride a horse? Let's buy a two-meter-tall horse and ride it home!
Everyone laughed. "How much is a horse nowadays?"
"Roughly two thousand yuan?"
"Impossible! Must be around three thousand."
And so an enthusiastic debate on horse prices ensued.
A horse may have been beyond their budget but the workers did pick up some bargains in Hong Kong. After buying a few clothing items, Ms Wang and her boyfriend noticed that mobile phones were a lot cheaper in Hong Kong than in Shenzhen. "Samsung is only HK$199!" She exclaimed, checking her wallet.

Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas from New York are hunting on vacation in the Sottish Highlands and get lost on their first night out. In the distance they hear eerie music from a nearby town ("Brigadoon"). They follow the music and discover a fair, with the townspeople in traditional Scottish garb ("McConnachy Square"). The MacLaren family, Andrew and his two daughters Jean and Fiona, arrive to purchase wedding supplies for Jean's wedding to Charlie Dalrymple. The thought of Jean marrying anyone other than him devastates Harry Beaton, who dismisses devotion from other ladies. Jean's older sister, Fiona, however, has no interest in rushing into marriage ("Waitin' For My Dearie").
Tommy and Jeff join the MacLaren's for a meal at their home, where the dairymaid Meg Brockie instantly takes a shine to Jeff. Jean's fiancé, Charlie, enthusiastically arrives, ecstatic at his upcoming nuptials ("Go Home with Bonnie Jean"). Though Tommy is engaged back home in New York, he shares a romantic morning with Fiona ("The Heather on the Hill"). Meg continues to pursue Jeff, who would rather nap ("The Love of My Life").
Jean and friends prepare for her new life ("Jeannie's Packin' Up"), while Charlie yearns for a glimpse of his love from outside ("Come to Me, Bend to Me"). Jeff arrives in traditional Highland trousers after his were damaged, and Tommy cannot contain his excitement of meeting Fiona ("Almost Like Being In Love"). Tommy discovers something odd in the MacLaren family bible — all the dates listed are 200 years old.
Fiona sends him to the school master, Mr. Lundie, who explains that the town of Brigadoon magically remains hidden except for one day every one hundred years, so as to keep the town unchanged from the outdoor world. The townsfolk are forbidden to ever leave, lest the entire town disappear forever. Tommy inquires if an outsider could remain in Brigadoon, and Mr. Lundie tells him through love, anything is possible.
A grand processional begins the wedding. Charlie and Jean are married, and a traditional wedding dance follows featuring sword dancing led by Harry Beaton. The dance halts when Harry attempts to kiss Jean. Unable to be with the woman he loves, Harry swears he will leave Brigadoon, end the magic and Brigadoon will disappear forever.
A frantic search for Harry by the men of the town ensues ("The Chase"). A loud scream is heard and Harry is discovered dead after falling on a rock. The men decide not tell the rest of the town until the following morning. Tommy sees Fiona and the two declare their mutual love ("There But For You Go I"). Tommy decides to find Mr. Lundie, so he can stay in Brigadoon with Fiona.
In the village, Meg entertains the townsfolk with a story of when her parents were married ("My Mother's Wedding Day"). The reveling is interrupted by Archie Beacon arrives with his son's body, Harry. Harries unrequited love, Maggie, performs a funeral dance for him as they carry Harry to his burial.
Jeff denounces Tommy's plans to stay in Brigadoon, and also confesses to accidentally tripping Harry, thus killing him. Tommy tells Fiona he loves her, but cannot stay in Brigadoon ("From This Day On"). She expresses her love once more as she fades away into darkness.
Four months later, Tommy still cannot stop thinking of Fiona and Brigadoon. He tells his beautiful fiancé, Jane Ashton, that he cannot marry her (reprises of "Come to Me, Bend to Me," "Heather on the Hill," "Bonnie Jean," and "From This Day On").
Tommy and Jeff return to where the first discovered Brigadoon and are devastated to find nothing there. As they begin to leave, they hear a faint hint of music and Mr. Lundie appears. He invites Tommy to stay, reminding him how with love, anything is possible. Tommy waves goodbye to Jeff as he fades away to remain in Brigadoon.

Conversation between Federal Chancellor Schmidt and Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping in Beijing
This document was made possible with support from MacArthur Foundation
between Federal Chancellor Schmidt
and Chinese Deputy Prime Minister Deng Xiaoping in Beijing
October 31, 1975[1]
Begin of Meeting: 1610 hours
End of Meeting: 1830 hours
Attachment: List of Participants[2]
Deputy Prime Minister Deng opened the conversation remarking that yesterday[3] Mao Zedong had outlined the fundamentals; the talks are supposed to be conducted in order to better understand mutual positions. One does not insist that the other side has to accept the opinion of the conversation partner.
China does not believe in detente, and also not in a durable peace. It does not matter whether a political leader of the United States, or Mr. Brezhnev as well, are pursuing a dangerous policy. The war will emerge rather independently from the will of the humans. Mao outlined yesterday that a change of Soviet policy is not to be expected. A return to the policy of Lenin has to be excluded as well. The nature of the Soviet Union has changed. Over the last twenty years it degenerated from the first socialist to a social-imperialist state. Many people believe that Khrushchev was more aggressive than Brezhnev; the harsh reality has proven the opposite. Brezhnev has deployed one million soldiers at the Chinese border. He has carved up Pakistan, contributed to aggravation of the situation in the Middle East, and occupied Czechoslovakia in 1968.
Causes for a new war have to be identified in the following facts:
1) the development of the social-imperialist system of society,
2) the Soviet pursuit of global hegemony,
3) the growth of the Soviet military and economic potential.
Brezhnev is following a more adventurist policy than Khrushchev because the situation has changed. The strive for hegemony is a result of the change of social systems, as well as of the fact that the Soviet potential (nuclear weapons included) has grown.
Regarding the question of military balance in the world, Deng stated that disarmament agreements signed since 1963 (Test Ban of 1963[4], and the treaties of Moscow 1972[5] and Vladivostok 1974[6]) have not just reduced the gap between the Soviet Union and the United States. They also had the result that, as of now, at the least a balance between powers has been reached. In parts, the Soviet Union is even superior. One [the People's Republic of China] has asked [U.S. Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger in Beijing[7] whether he really believes in a breakthrough in disarmament negotiations, as he had stated in Tokyo.[8] In China, one does not believe this. One has told Kissinger, the arms race will continue and a balance cannot be achieved.
It would play an important role in this context that there are not just nuclear weapons. which are relevant here. A future war will probably much more likely fought with conventional arms. This is a consequence from the situation of nuclear parity. Furthermore, it is always the objective of a war to occupy countries, to control peoples, and to gain resources. Yet this is unachievable with complete destruction of a country. If you think about Yugoslavia or Romania: The Soviet Union will not have to use nuclear weapons there. It will rather be tempted to achieve its objectives there with conventional weapons. For that reason, China is appreciating that the Federal Republic of Germany expands its conventional armed forces.
A special danger would also arise from the build-up of naval forces, where the Soviet Union is in the lead. (Interjection by the Federal Chancellor: The Soviet forces would also be increasingly equipped with nuclear arms.) Deng continued to say that the Soviet Navy in the Pacific would be three times as strong as the Seventh Fleet. Given these circumstances, detente cannot be realized. It must be a matter of concern that the CSCE gets constantly propagated by the Soviet Union. The Soviet motives would be simple:
1) The Soviet Unions wants to lull to sleep the vigilance of the Europeans and
2) to pursue its further arms build-up behind the umbrella of the CSCE.
From what country does a danger of a Third World War emanate? Only two powers could unleash it; however, neither China nor the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Great Britain, or Japan have the capacities to do it. Even the United States does not dare to do this. The latter are rather busy to maintain positions gained in 1945, though they are no longer able to keep them. Therefore, the source for a Third World War is the Soviet Union. Yesterday Mao Zedong had stated that this war would not come in three to five years, it could rather still take ten to thirty years. Thus one may not hope for the preservation of the balance and detente.
Subsequently Deng outlined why China is viewing Europe as the main focus of global policy. China would not be interested to redirect the Soviet threat to Europe. Rather Europe would be main focus of Soviet strategy, because only whoever controls Europe is able to achieve world hegemony. This policy is conducted in various ways: subversion, infiltration, armed struggle. This is also why the Soviet Union has deployed three quarters of its armed forces and its best weapons in the West.
He would not fear an attack on China since it would not gain the Soviet Union world hegemony. At best, the Soviets would be able to occupy China's cities but not the countryside. Since Khrushchev the Soviet Union is working against China and wants to achieve control over it. Thus the Soviet Union proposed in 1958 a joint naval command that would have subjected China's coasts to Soviet control.[9] Since then relations would have deteriorated. In addition, there arose confrontation over ideological matters.[10]
When one assesses the Soviet threat to China, [Deng stated,] you have also to consider that Soviet forces along the Chinese border are not just deployable against China, but also against the United States and maybe Japan. China is not afraid of one million soldiers. In recent years, the United States would have warned China multiple times before an imminent attack of the Soviets. Yet nothing has happened. China is prepared; and also one million soldiers along a border of 7,000 kilometers is not much. This is why China believes the Soviets do not have the will to attack the country. Operational targets of the Soviets could be Northeastern China (Manchuria), Beijing, maybe even all of China north of the Yangtze River. Such a war would last at least for twenty years, and the Soviet would have to move over from the West at least an additional two million forces. To [our] question of a potential nuclear strike on Chinese bases, Deng replied even that would not change anything because China will continue to exist.
In light of the security situation as apparent to Beijing, China would have no objections to the presence of American troops in Europe; this would be warranted reality. One is harboring doubts, however, whether the appeasement policy of the United States towards the Soviets will result in a new Munich.[11] Many things are very strongly reminiscent to the policy of [former British Prime Minister Neville] Chamberlain and [former French Prime Minister Edouard] Daladier. The Helsinki Conference[12] is a case in point. It is necessary to reiterate that today the Soviet Union's military strength is superior to the strength of the United States. The weak points of the Soviets are: They do not have enough grain, and their industry and technologies are backward. Therefore it is wrong to supply the Soviet Union with grain, provide credits or build up industrial capacities, as this is strengthening the Soviet position. It also is an illusion to believe that this way one can make the Soviet Union dependent on the West. All those measures, which include granting seven million U.S. dollar of credit from the West, are just strengthening the Soviet potential (interjection by the Federal Chancellor: so far the Soviet Union has not received even a penny from the [West German] federal government).
It also would be an illusion to speculate about a change of Soviet policy after a departure of Brezhnev. One [China] has also alerted [U.S. Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger to that fact. In light of those speculations, China is doubtful whether the United States are ready to defend Europe. Would they fight for Yugoslavia, Germany, Scandinavia? The appeasement policy towards the Soviet Union is only comparable to the flight from Dunkirk[13]. However, it would correspond to the true interests of the United States, if they would fight together with Europe against the Soviet Union. Mao has said the United States are shirking from this responsibility since they suffered 50,000 casualties in Vietnam. In China's opinion, however, a stable partnership between the United States and Europe is a necessity, since otherwise there exists no balance. This is why one has asked Kissinger. whether the U.S. would act like at Dunkirk. Kissinger had said that it depends essentially on Europe's behavior. China thinks that Europe has to unify in order to defend itself alone if need be.
Deng then moved to the situation in Asia. It would have developed favorably for America, even after the U.S. withdrawal from Indochina. The Soviet CCSA proposal[14] has no resonance. However, relations with Japan are not very positive. Apparently due to Soviet pressure, the Japanese are currently hesitant to sign an anti-hegemony clause in the intended peace and friendship treaty[15]. With regards to India, there are prospects for an improvement of relations.
Concerning the situation of the global economy, Deng just referred to Chinese statements before the United Nations. Existing contradictions would be a result of the laws of capitalism. China, however, would favor the Conference of 27.[16] It is viewing dialogue and cooperation as the only way to solve the problems.
On the German question Deng said verbatim: "We support the reunification of Germany". The German question cannot be viewed different than questions of Vietnam's, Korea's, and China's (Taiwan!) reunification. Maybe these questions cannot be resolved in five or ten years, but possibly in a hundred years.
In a short statement the Federal Chancellor stated that the Chinese statements warrant more exact analysis. There is no unanimous consent between our explanations and the Chinese statements. Given the shortage of time, he wants to limit himself to the following comments:
1) He mostly agrees with the military parts. He believes in particular. that the issue of a war between China and the Soviet Union is correctly assessed. However, he also has to note that the option of a war between socialist states has also changed the situation for us.
2) He wants to make a political comment on the war issue: Whoever will trigger a world war will also evoke incalculable risks for himself. This applies to both cases of a nuclear as well as a conventional war. The Federal Republic of Germany is making its contribution to minimize the risk of a war. The [West German] Federal Army is rated highly not just by our friends.
3) On the European issue the chancellor remarked that the Federal Army is making a contribution to the defense of Europe. The European defense capabilities represent an important contribution to the establishment of a global balance of forces. Besides, the Federal Republic of Germany has already furthered European unity at a time when differences in opinion between Beijing and Moscow had not yet existed.
4) Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping had wanted to reaffirm our concerns over the Soviet Union. However, we did not have to be reaffirmed in those concerns as it was the Soviet Union who has divided our country. The Soviet leaders would also be concerned about China. With regard to Europe, he [Schmidt] would have no fear, though, because Mao is right: In the end, the defender is always winning.
5) Due to its experiences with the Soviet Union over decades, the Chinese Communist Party certainly does understand the Soviet Union better than we do. However, China should also know more about Europe and America. This is why he had invited Deng.[17] Also, a visit to the United States would provide better opportunities for assessment. Therefore China should have more frequent contacts with the United States. Ford and Kissinger are strong personalities who are able to withstand criticism. He, the Federal Chancellor himself, would have criticized Ford in the U.S.[18] and the Soviet leadership on Soviet television[19], without both having any negative impact on relations.
6) He thanked Deng for his emphasis on global economic dialogue instead of a policy of confrontation. Reasons for the current crisis would not rest with the capitalist economic order, though; countries with different systems - feudal systems, both rightist and leftist dictators – are also affected by the crisis.
7) He thanked the Chinese side for its clear advocacy for German reunification and European unity. He would look forward to a visit by Deputy Prime Minister Deng to Europe, because only now we have established foundations for a true dialogue.
Deputy Prime Minister Deng thanked for the very frank exchange of mutual positions, and he expressed his desire to continue with these conversations. He asked for considering contents of the talks as confidential and not to publish them in the press.[20]

[14] On June 7, 1969 the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Brezhnev, proposed for the first time, at the Third World Conference of the Communist and Workers Parties in Moscow, to establish a system of collective security in Asia. For its text see Neues Deutschland, June 8, 1969, p. 6.On January 10, 1975 [West German] Ambassador [Ulrich] Sahm reported from Moscow: "The current status of discussion about a Conference for Collective Security in Asia is apparently viewed as unsatisfactory also by the Soviets. Only Mongolia does support the Soviet proposal without reservations. The qualified words of agreement by Iran and Afghanistan come close to actually supporting Beijing, since they are linked to the requirement for all Asian states to participate. The other Asian countries have been evasive (like India) or came out openly against." The Soviet position would include new aspects and now "the earlier emphasis on the CSSA as having also the function to contain expansionist China […] has receded behind the anti-imperialist mission (concerted action between socialist and Third World states), but still: "One has to assume that, those tactical adaptations notwithstanding, the main goal of Soviet CSSA policy still consists in the establishment of a political system (if possible, with a security policy component) to contain China in Asia."

I started my journey into flower farming four years ago after spending years feeling unhappy in my previous job.
After my second child was born I decided it was time to do something about my work life and through family members I found out that flower farming on a small scale existed in this country – it was not something I had ever previously heard of.
All my life I have loved gardening, being one of those people with lights in the greenhouse, enabling me to carry on working on my hobby during the night. Flower farming seemed like something I could do and would enjoy; with that in mind I booked myself onto a workshop for beginners and I haven't looked back.
That workshop started the ball rolling for me and I now run a successful flower farm. I won't lie this is hard work but I now love what I do and I feel proud to be showing my children that you can make a living out for doing something you love rather than just living for the weekends.
Pipley Flowers took off rather quickly; I run another business which I started in 2005, and have a strong sales background - these experiences have helped me in my current venture and enabled me to help others on my previous Flower Farming workshops.
On my past workshops I have had people come along to find out how to start a flower farm and others have already started but wanted to see other ways of doing things. I have also helped trading florists who would like to supplement their bought in flowers with some they have grown themselves.
My next Flower Farming for beginners workshop is coming up on the 10th of February. There is still one place available for someone who would like to make a change or add value to what they do now….could that be you?
We had a hard frost on the 28th of October this year and when I checked the flowers the next morning, as suspected they were looking rather black and unhappy. Since then lots of people have asked what I do now - some realise that the work doesn't stop just because the flowers are gone but others think I'm starting a 5 month holiday.
There are plenty of jobs that can be done over the Winter, many of which I don't have the time to do during the peak season, but some have a certain urgency about them. At Pipley we have lots and lots of dahlias (far too many to lift!) so I choose to leave mine in place over Winter. One of my most important jobs now is to cut back all the dahlias and give them a good mulch to protect them from the cold - this has to be done before the temperature drops too low and it's not a quick job.
One of the other jobs I have is planting any new bulbs and corms so I have lots of lovely flowers in Spring. I planted my anemone yesterday and I still have tulips and ranunculus to finish off. The quicker I get some of these in, the quicker my season will start next year….or that's the plan unless I am thwarted in some way by the weather.
So as you read this I may be working out in the rain, chopping back, wheel-barrowing, or on my hands and knees in the mud trying to get these jobs done before I miss my window. Then comes the rest of the list but I can always breathe a sigh of relief when the dahlias and bulbs are all sorted.
If you have thought about flower farming and would like to learn more about what's involved I run workshops for beginners or those thinking of a career change. The next one is on Sunday 10th of February and you can find the details on my workshops page.
Following a recent Facebook post which touched on scented flowers I thought it would be nice to share some of my favourite spring scented flowers with you.
These dainty little white bells have a fantastic scent! They are one of my earlier spring flowers and Mine tend to flower in early April. They have a strong scent for their size at only around 15cm in height and they are happiest grown in partial shade. You can also get Lily of the Valley in a light pink colour but these are more uncommon. As a cut flower they are great for little posies, buttonholes and bouquets.
Narcissi just make me smile. I find them somewhat irresistible with their happy little faces and gorgeous scent. They are easy to grow from bulbs, and work well in the house as a cut flower or planted in a pot. If planted in pots indoor just plant them out somewhere in the garden after they have finished flowering and they will return year on year. Narcissi are great for naturalising in grass too so everyone should be able to find space for some. Although they smell delicious they do need a regular stem cut and water change if used as a cut flower or they can become a bit whiffy!
Love, love, love these! I don't tend to use them much for cutting (hence no images) as the stems are quite short and with the flowers being so large they can be tricky to incorporate into displays, but bring planted bulbs into your house to make the place smell amazing! After they have flowered you can plant them out in pots or beds for them to return year on year.
Did you know that tulips have scent? I must confess I didn't really believe this until last year when I grew some amazing scented ones. I had head of scented tulips but had never smelt any that I actually liked or that had a string perfume. My favourite ones last year smelt of caramel - the variety escapes me for now but keep an eye on my social media because they will get a shout out when they are back this year!
What are your favourite scented flowers for Spring?
If you find your garden looking a bit sad around this time of year then Hellebores are a great way to add a bit of drama.
I love the variety available and once you plant some out they will self seed and bulk out over time. Hellebore flowers tend to face the floor and they remind me a little of bells when you see them. If you look more closely some of them are extremely intricate and they can have beautiful patterns of purple spots inside.
Hellebores are commonly white or pinky purple but you can also get green, yellow and very deep purple like the one pictured below. If you have different colours they will hybridise within the garden and I'm always excited to see what the flowers will be like on a self seeded plant.
The other big bonus with hellebores is that they do well in damp, shady areas where many flowers and plants won't survive. The ones pictured here are all planted under trees and they are very happy. They are very easy to grow and although you may find the odd flower nibbled by a slug or snail, in general they are rarely affected by pests.
Bearing all that in mind I think this is a flower that many people could benefit from in their garden.
What are your favourite flowers at this time of year?
Ok I accept I may have gone slightly mad with my tulip ordering this year!
It's funny as I know this is a lovely image but I thought twice about blogging about it as when I look at this I see money down the drain and stock I haven't sold so it's something to beat myself up over. Basically this says to me that I'm doing a rubbish job... It's a difficult balance as the weather has caught me out a bit this year with the tulips, causing them to come early and fast - that and the fact that they all started literally a day or two after mother's day when no one is interested in buying flowers as they have them already. The afternoon before mothers day I had 3 tulips and a week later I had hundreds if not thousands of them.
mid-sentence to pull up a … is that a thistle…?
about land use and how to encourage a healthy balance of wildlife.
boiling the camping kettle on the Tranja stove became one of my favourite things to do.
of tea while the resident robins hopped about was a real highlight for me!
Flowers is a haven for flower enthusiasts everywhere!
helping me to realise my potential and to chase my dreams of working in nature.
Here's to years of friendship and flowers!
So what's been going on at the flower farm?
In brief all the beds are now prepared and rotavated. I have planted some new perennials and shrubs. The shrubs are strategically placed to act as windbreaks but obviously they will need to establish a bit before they work their magic.
This week the first flowers started to appear but I think I have 6 on the plot so not quite ready to start selling to florists yet! I do however have a well stocked garden that I am using to make arrangements in the meantime and there are too many flowers to mention right now.
So things are looking pretty good at the moment. The bare root roses planted last month are bushing out nicely and even some of the newer plants have put on good growth in just a week or so.
The dahlias and peonies are starting to appear so hopefully soon the empty looking beds in the background will start filling out.
On the negative side it appears I have a resident mole that has moved into my most recently planted flowerbed. He's undermined a lot of the plants I've just put in so yesterday I spent quite a lot of time stamping the soil back down. Hopefully if I annoy him enough he might get fed up and move on!

Absolut Announces Winner of Global Creative Competition From 7,500 Entrants
Comments Off on Absolut Announces Winner of Global Creative Competition From 7,500 Entrants
– ARTIST FROM LEBANON AWARDED Euros 20,000 CASH PRIZE AND OOH DISPLAY FOR ARTWORK TACKLING ISSUES THAT MATTER
– SELECTED BY WORLD REKNOWNED ARTISTS MICKALENE THOMAS, AARON CEZAR AND BOSE KRISHNAMACHARI
Tonight, Absolut has announced its next creative collaboration and winning artist as part of Absolut's broadest art initiative in the history of the brand. Sarah Saroufim from Lebanon has been crowned the winner from 7,500 entrants with her design to reflect that "Everyone should be free to express themselves" and hopes to inspire people to talk about the issues that matter.
Saroufim is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, who graduated in 2018 as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the American University of Beirut. Her minimalist and thought – provoking style is carried throughout her designs and her winning artwork is no different.
Saroufim was carefully selected by a jury panel consisting of some of the world's leading creative voices, including New York based artist, Mickalene Thomas, founding director of the London based Delaphina Institute, Aaron Cezar, and Indian based, artist and curator, Bose Krishnamachari.
Creating a design showcasing her vision of a better tomorrow, Sarah has expressed her own personal design to carry a message of a more open, equal and inclusive world with her winning artwork to express her statement.
She states: The more we talk about mental illness, the closer we get to overcoming it. I expressed this idea using the pun 'Don't keep things bottled up' and an overflow of expression symbolised by speech bubbles.
Sarah Saroufim said "I'm so honoured to have won Absolut's Creative Competition. This message is so important to me as I'm not the easiest nut to crack. I don't open up so easily but when I do, it makes it so much easier to manage the every day. I hope everyone will learn from this message and see the power of expressing themselves."
Over the last four decades, Absolut has worked with over 550 of the world's boldest artists, resulting in over 800 art pieces being created. Now selected among local winners from 18 other countries around the globe, Sarah Saroufim will be following in the footsteps of iconic artists that Absolut has previously collaborated with, including Keith Karing, Romero Britto, Arman Armand and Maurizio Cattelan.
Artist and jury member, Mickalene Thomas, said "We're pleased to announce the final winner, Sarah Saroufim from Lebanon, as Absolut's new creative collaboration. This is an incredible achievement to be selected from so many entrants and to be chosen amongst 18 other country winners. Sarah's artwork really stood out and the whole jury panel felt that her design reflected and brought to life the beliefs and values that channel Absolut through her artwork.
We're excited to see what the next chapter holds for Sarah and we will see her piece take pride of place in an iconic OOH location to share with people around the world."
Artist and jury member, Aaron Cezar, said: "Sarah's award-winning entry to the Absolut Creative Competition speaks to the urgencies of this time. In an era of post-truth, Saroufim reminds us of the power of having a voice to not only to express but to expose. In Sarah's statement, she expresses her need to overcome mental illness but her work transcends this and demonstrates its strength visually.
While the text 'Don't Keep Things Bottled Up' can be seen as a warning – or be taken as good advice – it can also be read as a playful invitation to let loose and relieve stress and to enjoy sharing the company of others. This involves another kind of opening up, one of friendship, which is the only way in which we can overcome the complex realities, by remembering of Absolut's brand beliefs: No matter where we come from, We are all human."
Artist and jury member, Bose Krishnamachari, said: "Saroufim's work reminds me of one of my curatorial projects in China. The bottled up liquid and liberated bubbles forms the present, for now. We may fill up the bubble with our imagination, a participatory space created by Sarah and, ultimately liberated to Absolut freedom. Her work of simplicity, pressure and pleasure of human imagination, 'For an Image, Faster than light'.
Congratulations to all 19 national winners and the absolute, Absolut achiever for greater works and an inspirational world!"
With the aim to celebrate creativity and harness the power artists have to envision and create a better tomorrow, Absolut launched the global Creative Competition in November 2018 with the mission to find the next bold creative voice of the brand. Saroufim's artwork will be displayed on a globally iconic OOH site and she will receive a Euros 20,000 cash prize.

Help us keep up the good work Why?
Well, unlike many news organisations, we have no sponsors, no corporate or ideological interests. We don't put up a paywall – we beleive in free public access to information.
Although underresourced & primarily volunteer-based, we endeavour to provide the community with real-time access to true unfiltered news directly from the firsthand sources.
Our goal and mission is to provide free and alternative access to impartial information, fighting media monopolization and adhering to honesty, neutrality, fairness, transparency and independence in collection and dissemination of information.
It is a bumpy road with all sorties of difficulties.
(Media ownership in Australia is one of the most concentrated in the world (more on this!). Since the trend of consolidation is and has historically been upward, fewer and fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media in our country. According to independent assessment, about 98% of the media sector is held by three conglomerates. This tendency is not only totally unacceptable, but also to a degree frightening). Learn more
We can only achieve this goal together. Our website is open to any citizen journalists and organizations who want to contribute, publish high-quality insights or send media releases to improve public access to impartial information. You and we have the right to know, learn, read, hear what and how we deem appropriate.

First impressions often lead to the judgment of others and facial redness often leads to a negative perception both at a personal and professional level. Participants in a study ranking images of people with and without red faces showed that red faces were associated with worse health and negative personality traits. With the prevalence of negative opinions, rosacea can lead to a decreased quality of life; in a Danish study of 4 million people, approximately 26% of individuals suffering from rosacea experienced moderate to severe anxiety or depression. In addition to anxiety and depression, patients suffering from rosacea also have higher incidences of social embarrassment.
Rosacea commonly affects individuals older than age 30, usually fair-skinned individuals. Studies examining the prevalence of rosacea estimated that between 1.3% to 2.1% of the United States population suffers from this condition. While rosacea has been reported during childhood in some cases, it has not been as extensively studied as adult rosacea.
What Are Some Rosacea Misconceptions?
Rosacea has four different subtypes: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular; each may lend to differences in perception of self and worth.
This subtype of rosacea is known as the "classic" form of rosacea, featuring pimples filled with pus as well as other raised lesions, often occurring around the mouth, nose, and eyes.[1,20] In particular, this type is observed in mainly middle-aged women and can look like acne. As this is the classic presentation, the papulopustular form of rosacea can be socially stigmatizing under the misconception that alcohol directly causes rosacea.
This subtype of rosacea shows as skin thickening as well as irregular nodules, particularly to the nose. The phymatous rosacea subtype most often affects men, usually between age 50-70. Of all the different subtypes, this one is usually most distressing and anxiety inducing, causing the highest decrease in quality of life for rosacea patients. As the nose is one of the more prominent features of a face, any flaw, however minor, can cause significant distress in an individual. A change to the nose can affect an individual's sense of identity.
This subtype of rosacea features redness in and around the eyes, and patients have described the irritating inflammation often as if something is inside their eyes. As this subtype often shows as bloodshot eyes, misperceptions of this disease could incorrectly link it to poor hygiene or unsavory social habits.
The best treatment for rosacea is the prevention of symptoms, such as avoiding triggers like ultraviolet (UV) exposure. The specific treatment of rosacea is usually dependent on the subtype of rosacea. While treatment can range from creams, lasers, to surgery, the treatment needs to be matched to what is appropriate for the specific subtype of rosacea.
The best makeup to help cover the affected areas is mineral based and green, or preferably yellow tinted, to help cancel out the redness.[25,26] While green can help cancel out the red color, often the face still appears green or gray under the layers of foundation, so yellow is often advised more than green according to makeup experts.
While rosacea can be distressing emotionally, most often the probing questions are due to curiosity and lack of knowledge about the condition, not usually from unkind intentions. While explaining the condition to close coworkers and family can be challenging, it can help eliminate misunderstandings and stigmas of the disease. Practitioners are best served to help ask and guide their patients with explaining their condition since many may receive questions about their rosacea.
