SINGAPORE， April 16 (Xinhua) -- The annual French festival "Voilah!" returned here Saturday to showcase the very best of French creativity and innovation with over 40 bespoke programs， ranging from visual and performing arts， gastronomy experiences， cinema retrospective and science.
Organised by the Institut Fran？ais Singapour and the French Embassy in Singapore， in collaboration with the French Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and the Alliance fran？aise， Voilah! also partners the community to provide a diverse and immersive festival experience with something for everyone.
The annual festival opened with the enchanting Luminéoles Ballet where giant dream-like changing colour LED light birds dance in a spectacular aerial ballet around Marina Bay with the city skyline as backdrop.
Other highlights include the Asian premiere of Transboundary Rivers， an exhibition by French photographer Franck Vogel at Gardens by the Bay to increase awareness of global water issues， the Gourmet Picnic at the Singapore Botanic Gardens with French classical music， the Asian premiere of Gaumont: 120 Years of Cinema exhibition which offers the best of French cinema through posters and exclusive screenings of emblematic masterpieces from the French studio.
There is also a focus on the Aquitaine Limousin Poitou-Charentes region in France through the showcase of some of their food products and talents including the world premiere of Le Clown des Marais that presents French arts practitioner Jean Lambert-wild and students from Lasalle College of The Arts.
"The multi-faceted and organic relationship between Singapore and France for over 50 years has facilitated collaborations and exchanges which allowed us to develop an appreciation towards the different aspects of our communities. Singapore is also an important gateway to showcase French culture and innovation to the rest of Asia. In this spirit， Voilah!， in bringing the best of French culture to Singapore， will provide the platform for French and Singaporean communities to meet， exchange ideas and contribute to the cultural vibrancy in both countries，" said Benjamin Dubertret， ambassador of France to Singapore.
The vibrant， multi-faceted festival also gathers the community to actively participate in the seven-week-long French savoir-faire. This year's edition rallied more than 120 local and French partners， including Asian Civilizations Museum， Indochine， Centre Pompidou， Airbus， Musée du Louvre， Iggy's and Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle.
"The community is instrumental to the success of Voilah! The response to last year's Voilah! had been very encouraging， and we are excited to present this year's line-up together with our many local and French partners who have come on board to share and learn about the French culture. We hope to continue engaging the festival goers meaningfully and establishing Voilah! as a must-attend perennial festival for everyone in Singapore，" said festival director Bertrand Pous.
Voilah! 2016 will take place from April 15 to May 31 across Singapore.
Plastic Surgery and the Potential Risks of Going to a 'Pumper' Health Articles | January 30 Derrick Nnadi Chiefs Jersey , 2012In the world of plastic surgery, silicone has traditionally been associated with procedures like breast augmentation. Things have taken a turn for the worst with "pumpers."
Affordable plastic surgery is the desire of all women looking to make a
change to their physical appearance. Many Breeland Speaks
Chiefs Jersey , after meeting with a surgeon and learning the total
cost of the procedure, decide that it just isn't something that currently fits
into their budgets. So Tanoh
Kpassagnon Youth Jersey , in order to get similar results for
sometimes less than half the price they seek out the assistance of someone like
a "pumper." While things may seem to be going well in the beginning, eventually
things will catch up with the body and health risks become a serious
concern.
What is a pumper?
A pumper is person offering to inject
silicone into various areas of a person's body. The injection goes straight into
the area a client wants to change and can temporarily create a more full and
plump look. Instead of traditional plastic surgery like a breast
augmentation Chris Conley Youth
Jersey , the client allows the pumper to directly inject silicone
into her breasts. The end results? In most cases there is a noticeable
difference and the area seems to be more full or plump.
These procedures
are sometimes done within a person's home or even at a location set up to look
like a business. Most people know that what they are asking for is not being
provided to them by a professional, or being regulated by any type of plastic
surgery association. Yet there are still others who go into these situations
completely unaware of the risks they are taking.
How does this cause
problems?
The first problem comes from the fact that pumpers are not
licensed plastic surgery administrators. They lack both the professional
education and license to carry out this type of work. At the very
least Mitch Morse Youth
Jersey , individuals are having their bodies changed by a person
that does not have the knowledge necessary to protect and care for the
body.
Because the pumper is not a medical professional, he or she is not
always aware of the potential risks that a client will face. When a complication
arises they are unprepared to deal with the emergency. Unfortunately there are
times when these unregulated medical treatments result in the death of the
client.
What are the legal ramifications?
These pumpers are
breaking the law. The dilema is tracking a certain person down and proceeding
with prosecution. Sometimes a client will seek out medical attention but refuse
to provide the name of the pumper. Other times contact information is turned
over Chris Jones Youth
Jersey , but by the time something is done about it, the
pump. Cheap Throwback
