SINGAPORE, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- River Nights 2016 kicked off on Friday evening to light up the bank of Singapore River in the heart of the country's Civic District. Over the two weekends in October, visitors can immerse themselves in various artistic events here.
River Nights was initiated to celebrate Singapore River's changing identity through the years. Organized by Asian Civilizations Museum (ACM) and with National Arts Council as principal partner, the third edition of River Nights returned with the theme of "Phantasmagoria", presenting traditional artistry with modern technology.
Festival Director Lim Chye Hong said at the heart of this year's programming is the use of technology to blend the old and the new, creating fresh and shared experiences for both artists and the public.
During the first weekend, the public can enjoy a series of performances by local artists. "Soundscape: The River" melds a variety of instruments and human voice to create the story of a river by weaving the magic of sound, whispers, the rustling of the wind, and the fury of a thunderstorm into one integral whole.
Performed by Nanyang Philharmonic Percussion Ensemble and Siva Mayam Urumi Melam, "All Things Percussion" made the hearts of visitors go thump with exciting rhythms and invigorating beats. While T.H.E Dance Company's "Silences We Are Familiar With" presented a poignant exploration of the ceaseless need for human to love and be loved.
In the second weekend, ACM's signature lifestyle event "ACM after Dark" will come back, presenting a showcase of Asian supernatural and beliefs. Students from Singapore Polytechnic will light up the night sky with color-changing umbrellas via hand-controls fabricated by MIT. The public can experience a dazzling performance in the "Umbrella Project".
River Nights 2016 will also take place on Saturday, as well as on Oct. 28 and Oct. 29.

THE HAGUE, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- The Netherlands booked a comfortable 4-1 win over Belarus in 2018 World Cup qualifying Group A on Friday in the De Kuip stadium in Rotterdam.
After the 1-1 draw in Sweden in September, the Dutch needed a win against Belarus, which had drawn 0-0 against France in the first tie. Coach Danny Blind had lined up almost the same team as against Sweden, but he favored Maarten Stekelenburg as goalkeeper over Jeroen Zoet and Rick Karsdorp debuted as right back for injured Daryl Janmaat.
The tandem Karsdorp-Quincy Promes worked well on the right side and the Dutch created several opportunities from the start. In the 15th minute Promes opened the scoring, when he profited from sloppy defending by the visitors. He scored his first goal in 15 internationals. In the 31th minute the Spartak Moscow forward also produced the second goal, when he hit home after a deflected Dutch corner.
With the 2-0 score the Dutch gave away the initiative and Belarus created some chances before half-time. An attempt by Mikhail Gordeychuk went beside the post and Sergei Kornilenko also went close. Belarus continued their good period in the second half and Aleksey Rios scored in the 47th minute from a Kornilenko cross.
The Netherlands seemed to have lost track, but came back into the match and restored their momentum of the first half. After Vincent Janssen hit the post Davy Klaassen scored from the rebound in the 55th minute and with a smashing strike from outside the penalty area Janssen made it 4-1 in the 64th minute. The Dutch could have extended the scoring, but Georginio Wijnaldum hit the post.
With the win, the Netherlands came on four points in Group A, together with France, which beat Bulgaria 4-1 in Paris, and Sweden, which defeated Luxembourg 1-0 in Luxembourg. On Monday the Netherlands play France in Amsterdam, Belarus host Luxembourg and Sweden play at home to Bulgaria.
