The good of gardening 园艺疗法益心养神

Do you have a hobby that helps you relax and unwind? For some people, there is no better way to switch off than spending time in the garden. This small private area of green space can be their oasis of calm.

It’s no wonder some of us turn to gardening as a form of therapy. A survey conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society, found that 82% of people in the UK said that gardening makes them happier. It also found that 70% of them, given the choice, would prefer to spend their working day in the garden with just 9% opting for an office.

For those with green fingers, the pleasure of gardening comes from getting out in the fresh air, in all weathers and communing with nature – even if there are a few too many creepy-crawlies! It can also be seen as a sort of digital-detox – time away from technology. Some experts actually believe that getting outside to dig and plant things acts as a ‘natural high’.

link
Huawei has unveiled an Android smartphone that uses dual-camera technology to let owners refocus photos after they have been taken.
The feature is the result of a collaboration between the Chinese tech firm and German camera-maker Leica.
It means the P9 can create shallow depth-of-field shots more commonly associated with larger lenses.
Analysts say the innovation could help Huawei promote itself as a premium brand and expand its market share.

A dance show driven by artificial intelligence

The lighting in a theatrical production can often be as important as the sets and performances themselves.
A new dance production, Pattern Recognition, will make use of artificial intelligence to drive the latest motion sensing technology to respond directly to the movements of two dancers on stage.
UK choreographer Alexander Whitley and digital artist Memo Akten created Pattern Recognition using code and a system of moving lights and Microsoft Kinect sensors to intelligently change the pattern of lighting to match their movements.
Produced by Sadler’s Wells, Pattern Recognition, premieres at the Platform Theatre at Central Saint Martins in London on April 7th to 9th.
