Hunting Heady Topper? New Visitors Center Makes Beer Search Easier
The makers of the wildly popular craft beer opened a new retail space in Stowe
By Jack Thurston	• Published July 7, 2016 • Updated on July 7, 2016 at 11:09 pm
The new Alchemist brewery and visitors center in Stowe, Vermont, is drawing long lines of enthusiastic beer lovers, just days after its opening. The Alchemist brews Heady Topper, the wildly popular double IPA.
"We came up here for this beer," beamed Jennifer Shaw of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, who waited in line for about an hour Thursday morning for a case of Heady Topper and some of the Alchemist's other creations. "It's a beer that doesn't taste like any beer you can get in the grocery store, so it's worth it."
Glowing internet reviews and critical acclaim have fueled Heady Topper's mystique, along with its reputation for being hard-to-find, even near where it's made. The beer is only available in Vermont.

"It's very important to keep this beer cold," said beer lover Tesh Satram, who came to the Alchemist with a large cooler and ice to keep his Heady Topper cold until he got home. "It's best when it's cold and fresh."
In late 2013, the brewery closed its previous visitors center in Waterbury, citing traffic concerns. A regular crush of customers was clogging a small street, the company explained at the time.
The Alchemist's new place has much more room to park and wait, and offers other styles of its beer to try or buy. This summer, in addition to Heady Topper, the Alchemist said it will be selling its Focal Banger, Crusher, and other small-batch specialty beers.
"We're just really excited to be connected with the community again, make as much beer as possible in a responsible way, and get it out to as many people as possible," Jen Kimmich of the Alchemist told necn. "We are humbled and grateful every day we open and see people excited to enjoy our beer."
The Alchemist is one of more than 50 craft brewers in Vermont, a number that's more than doubled in the past five years. The state now produces more craft beer per capita than any place else in the country, according to the Vermont Brewers Association.
The association said in 2015, Vermont brewers churned out the equivalent of 17.4 gallons of craft beer for every adult in the state 21-years-old and older.
"This is the epicenter," said beer lover Meg Valovage of Syracuse, New York, whose beer tour through Vermont included a stop Thursday at the Alchemist. "You guys know how to do it the best, for sure. Everyone's following Vermont's lead right now."
Jasmine Bigelow of the Stowe Area Association said she hopes folks coming for beer will check out the other offerings in the village, which she predicted could boost Stowe's reputation as more than just a place to ski.
"We're incredibly happy with the addition of the Alchemist to town," Bigelow said. "They bring something new for visitors to do, and it's incredible for the rest of the business community."
Kimmich said even though the company has its own retail space again, it will still work hard to service its restaurant accounts and mom-and-pop stores that helped jump-start the Heady Topper craze.
The Alchemist's new Stowe brewery and visitors center is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m.

The European Commission submitted a new proposal on Monday for the European Union's 2013 budget, just days after the bloc's leaders failed to agree a separate long-term spending plan for 2014-2020.
The revised 2013 budget blueprint is virtually unchanged from the Commission's original proposal, which earlier this month failed to win the joint backing of EU governments and lawmakers needed for approval.
European Parliament negotiators boycotted talks with EU governments to finalize the 137 billion euro ($178 billion) budget for next year, after member states refused to first approve a last-minute request for more funds in 2012.
Many northern European countries that contribute most to the bloc's budget have been angered by demands for above-inflation increases in future EU spending, which they say fly in the face of budget cuts and austerity policies being implemented at home.
Failure to agree on the 2013 budget created uncertainty in future EU finances, amplified last Friday when leaders were unable to reach a compromise on a budget framework for 2014-2020, delaying a decision until next year.
A revised 2013 budget plan must now be agreed by the end of this year to avoid triggering an arrangement where the total for 2012 is rolled over and paid out in 12 monthly installments, which would cause chaos in several areas of EU spending.
But governments are likely to remain opposed to the proposed 137.8 billion euro limit on EU payments for next year, which is only 126 million euros less than the Commission's original plan and represents an increase of almost 7 percent from 2012.
Negotiators from the European Parliament support the Commission's 2013 blueprint and its request for an extra 9 billion euros in funding for this year, which it says is needed to meet funding commitments for EU public works and education programs.
The 2013 budget dispute has extra significance in that if there were to be no deal on the EU's long-term financial framework by 2014, next year's spending would be the basis for subsequent annual budgets until agreement was reached.
Unlike national governments, the EU cannot borrow to finance a deficit and must ensure its books are balanced each year.
The European Union agrees in advance its maximum future spending levels for all areas of policy and administration in seven-year budget plans. Actual spending is then fixed annually in a budget for the year ahead, with later revisions to cover any unforeseen spending.
About three-quarters of the bloc's annual budget is currently spent on agricultural subsidies and motorways, bridges and other infrastructure projects in poorer eastern and southern European member countries.


Losing abdominal weight is considered one of the most effective ways to avoid heart disease and prevent a heart attack or stroke. This can be very beneficial for individuals who receive a prescription to buy Plavix.
Now, a new study has shown that individuals who lose abdominal fat experience significant improvements in their vascular health. This finding was consistent whether participants were on a low-carb or low-fat diet.
"Our study demonstrated that the amount of improvement in the vessels was directly linked to how much central, or belly fat, the individuals lost, regardless of which diet they were on," said lead researcher Kerry Stewart, of Johns Hopkins University. "This is important since there have been concerns that a low-carb diet, which means eating more fat, may have a harmful effect on cardiovascular health."
After participants lost the weight, the researchers found that their arteries were more flexible and able to adapt to changing blood pressure. This is considered a major factor in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Individuals who chose the low-carb diet actually experienced greater weight loss, which suggests that this apporach may lead to the greatest vascular improvement.

#ChristmasAtRockwell
Published on Friday, 04 December 2015 15:52 | Hits: 15474
Detail of this year's classic mall decorThis year, shoppers are in for a Christmas like they've never seen before as Rockwell Land Corporation celebrates its 20th anniversary.
Two decades plus two celebrations equals twice the thrill!
The fun begins at Power Plant Mall, where a trio of kiddie favorites is hanging out in the courtyard for the duration of the holidays—and they see you when you're shopping!
Kevin, Stuart and Bob, jazzed up in Santa hats, seem to peek over visitors' shoulders as they do their shopping. The "stars" of Minions, the secondhighest grossing animated film of all time, are the first pop culture characters to be incorporated into the mall's Christmas look. As Bob the baby Minion would say, "Ooooh!"
As the longtime lead of the group that puts together Rockwell Center's seasonal themes, landscape architect Jacko Zialcita has executed concepts for more than a dozen Rockwell Christmases.
"We've done hanging Santas, balls, bells, Christmas trees. There was a time we concentrated on our courtyards, then we went all vertical for about two years," says Zialcita, a former Rockwell Land assistant vice president who now works with the company as consultant for design and planning. For the first time, the team has incorporated a trendy spin on the Christmas look that has become the Power Plant Mall trademark over the past 15 years.
"The traditional elements are still there, but we wanted something that had a 'kid' element, and that's where the Minions came in," notes marketing supervisor Christina Campaña.
Shoppers looking forward to their yuletide favorites will still have their Santa Claus, belen (crèche), lushly adorned Christmas trees and pots of poinsettia. The mall opted for a predominantly red and green color scheme as can be seen in the fairy lights and Christmas garlands that envelop the columns and extend to the arches to form a series of canopies.
The animatronic menagerie, a Power Plant Mall Christmas mainstay for about half a decade now, remains a major visitor magnet and social media favorite. This year's new additions include singing llamas and reindeer.
"We've also invited different musical groups to perform at the Concourse level to usher in the Christmas spirit," says marketing supervisor Katherine Lim.
Boosting the holiday ambience is the distinctive pine scent that permeates every nook and cranny of the mall.
Just in time for the season, exclusive-to-Rockwell establishments such as Harlan+Holden, Rajo!, Cura V and Univers and a lot more are ready to receive shoppers on the lookout for one-of-a-kind presents for their loved ones.
When hunger strikes, there's an array of dining establishments to satisfy every taste and craving: Coco Ichinbanya, Dean and DeLuca and Kafé Batwan are just a few steps away; in addition, Fireside by Kettle will soon open at Power Plant, while Solstice, a casual all-day dining place, will be added to 8 Rockwell's F&B arsenal.
Meanwhile, other wellloved Christmas staples have been tweaked to dovetail with Rockwell Land's 20-year anniversary.
The company was established in 1995 to transform the 45-year-old Rockwell Thermal Power Plant into a mixed-use development; construction on Rockwell Center began in 1998, with Power Plant Mall rising on the site of the old Rockwell Thermal Power Plant building.
Some of these initiatives, including the VIP and double-stub promos, were unveiled during the formal launch of the mall's C h r i s t m a s 2015 campaign and pre- C h r i s tma s weekend sale in mid-November. The VIP promo rewarded shoppers with perks like a VIP card entitling them to free parking at the mall for six months and free movies at the cinemas, also for six months.
"This promo did really well when it was first introduced over the summer, so we brought it back for a holiday edition," reveals Lim.
At the same time, those who shopped at the mall during the November weekend sale received double the value of their spend in raffle tickets—a perk that will come in handy during the Christmas raffle.
Also this December, Campaña adds, the mall's Sartorial Fridays fashion feature will have new themes weekly. To keep track of the week's selected fashionistas, check out the hashtag #JingleBellFrock.
Of course, the most-awaited Christmas raffle has also been given a major twist—it's now double the excitement as two luxury cars will be given away in two separate draws—a Jaguar XE on Christmas Day and a Jaguar XF on February 1, 2016.
"It's the first time we're going to raffle off two cars, so more chances of winning for everyone," says Campaña.
While the marketing duo could not reveal too many details so as not to spoil the surprise, suffice it to say that there's definitely a lot more in store for shoppers for the duration of the twin Christmas and 20th anniversary celebrations.
To be in the know and to keep updated, shoppers may check out Power Plant Mall's Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and use the hashtags #ChristmasAtRockwell and #RockwellAt20 on social media sites.
Who knows, the number 20 just might prove to be lucky for several Power Plant Mall shoppers this year!

Q: MySQL GTID consistency violation I am trying to create a table from a select statement, and it give me a GTID consistency violation. [HY000][1786] Statement violates GTID consistency: CREATE TABLE ... SELECT.
create TABLE tags_mentions as
    select t.*, st.ts, m.user_id_from, m.user_id_to from Tags as t join Mentions as m
        on t.status_id = m.status_id AND m.user_id_from != m.user_id_to
        left join Statuses as st on t.status_id = st.status_id;

What is GTID consistency, and how can I fix the SQL statement to avoid the violation?

A: From here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-gtids.html

Since only transactionally safe statements can be logged when --enforce-gtid-consistency is enabled, it follows that the operations listed here cannot be used with this option:

*

*CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statements

*CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE statements inside transactions

*Transactions or statements that update both transactional and non-transactional tables

You seem to have enforce GTID set. So this statement is not allowed.

A: If you want to fix the error another way, you can concisely create the table and insert separately with:
CREATE TABLE new_table LIKE old_table;
INSERT new_table SELECT * FROM old_table;

A: CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not safe for statement-based replication. When using row-based replication, this statement is actually logged as two separate events — one for the creation of the table, and another for the insertion of rows from the source table into the new table just created.
When this statement is executed within a transaction, it is possible in some cases for these two events to receive the same transaction identifier, which means that the transaction containing the inserts is skipped by the slave. Therefore, CREATE TABLE ... SELECT is not supported when using GTID-based replication.

A: If you do not care to replicate it on the slave, you can turn off the binlog:
set sql_log_bin=0;
create table ... select ...

On this day … 20 December 1870
December 20, 2022 December 20, 2022 ~ Peter Smith
Map courtesy of the National Library of Scotland.
The Preston Guardian had an article on a proposal to incorporate Ribbleton into the Preston borough boundary. The following year Ribbleton was swallowed up by Preston, with just a small portion on the Longridge side remaining as an independent township. Three years later the ancient Ribbleton Moor that was shared with neighbouring Brockholes was enclosed.
The 1851 census returns reveal a small colony of handloom weavers in the township. They would have access to subsistence rights such as grazing and fuel supplies on the moor that would have supplemented their declining weaving incomes. There was no compensation for their like when the moor was enclosed in 1873; the land was simply shared out among the landowners of Ribbleton and Brockholes.
Ribbleton is shaded green on the 1840s map pictured, and Ribbleton Moor is the darker shaded area. There is a little island of green near the top of the moor. That was the Bowling Green Inn (now the Ribble Lodge) and its adjoining field. In earlier centuries, hundreds of cattle from Scotland would be herded through Goosnargh and pass across the moor and around the pub, heading for the great Preston market. There is still a Scotch Green near Inglewhite, one of the places where the cattle would be rested overnight.
All trace of this lost life of the township has now disappeared, with the exception of the base of the medieval stone cross at the junction of Blackpool Road and Ribbleton Avenue, which marked the old boundary between Preston and Ribbleton.

In one God eternally existing in three; namely the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead; that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necesary for forgiveness of sins.

I lived in Tucson Arizona for two years and one of the things that really struck me was the close-knit small business community. Coffee roasteries sold coffee to a brunch restaurant and in turn sold their pastries in the roastery. Breweries and distilleries teamed up with local roasteries to make amazing beverages for the whole city to enjoy. This is a list of some of my favorite restaurants, but by no means is it exhaustive. I had to leave many off the list for the sake of the length of this article!
This place is amazing and was featured on Guy Fieri's show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" on the Foot Network channel. With good cause, this place sources local ingredients, has tons of vegetarian/vegan options and the food is just damn good. I'd suggest the veggie lasagna, because it's amazing whether or not you're a vegetarian.
It can be tough to find non-meat options, but this is not something that Tucson struggles with too much. This place is good for breakfast, lunch or dinner and offers traditional foods (burgers!) with meatless substitutions. In many cases you can't even tell that there is a substitute. I loved a tofu scramble for breakfast and the fried ravioli for lunch or dinner. Yum!
This was my go-to place for traditional Mexican, which really isn't hard to find in Tucson. It has any Mexican food you could ever want and the Mexican beer to go to with it. They have a couple of locations now. One is more diner-like and one is more like a cantina. Take your pick, they're both awesome!
This place has a very French vibe inside (did I just blow your mind?) and the food doesn't disappoint. I liked the Fresh Herb and Goat Cheese Omelet or Stuffed Crepes. Bonus there used to be a shop full of imported good from Asia next door. It's awesome and if it's still there you definitely NEED to go!
This place is a spin on traditional food and most of their dishes are quite unique, but incredibly delicious. I love any kind of eggs benedict, so my suggestion here would be the Coyote Benedict. They also have a couple locations for your convenience.
I LOVE PREP & PASTRY! The inside of the place is awesome, the food is incredible and the breakfast cocktails are the absolute best. And don't get me started on the bacon covered maple cronut. I highly suggest the Smoked Salmon Beni (I told you I love eggs benedict). Prep & Pastry has a new location that opened up fairly recently and I'm looking forward to a visit to Tucson so I can check it out.
Pro tip: Get the pho. That is all and you are welcome.
You guys, these pizzas are HUGE. The slices are massive and served with a fork and a pizza cutter. Have your pizza with Hop Bread, it's excellent. They also have tons of beer on tap. So if beer and pizza is your thing this is the place for you. It's fun for pre- or post-football games or for a meal before you head out to party downtown.
I'm a coffee fiend and was a bona fide Starbucks freak when I moved to Tucson. I did have discerning taste in much until I met the owners of this amazing coffee roastery. Their coffee is far and away the best coffee I've ever had and I have made it my mission to taste as much coffee as possible since I was shown "the way". They also do roasting and cupping classes. Cupping is like wine tasting but with coffee. The classes are fun and I highly encourage anyone with even a remote interest in coffee to attend one if you live in Tucson or if you ever visit.
Again, this list is not ALL of the places I loved in Tucson, but these are my highlights. The best part about getting to know a new town is checking out all the places to eat and Tucson is no different.
Thank you! Have you been to Tucson?

God Can Fix Anything Even A Broken Marriage
by Teresa Shields Parker | Apr 5, 2012 | Family, Magazine, True Stories | 2 comments
"God fixed my marriage and I believe He can fix anything," Steve Dupree, owner of Steve's Maintenance Co., said. "We were divorced. My wife didn't love me any more. It was over. But God is good at fixing things."
In 1969, Steve met Debbie at the Empire Roller Rink. A friendship ensued. "She was only 13 but, so cute," he says. "I was 16 and in high school." Steve came from an abusive home background. The oldest of five boys, Steve caught the brunt of the emotional and physical abuse from his alcoholic step-father.
"Drinking was all I knew," he said. "I was headed in that direction. Debbie stabilized me and gave me something to believe in. I didn't have much confidence in the future because of the negative words said over me constantly."
The Dupree family today includes from left, Stephanie with Marta, Jesse, Steve with Belle, Daniela, Steven, Debbie with Abigail and Christean.
Debbie, however, had a good home life with a Christian mom who took her to church. "I believed in God but, church was boring," she says. "Still, I went every Sunday."
Church, God or anything spiritual was the furthest thing from Steve's mind. He waited a few months before asking her to be his girlfriend.
"Her dad didn't know we were boyfriend and girlfriend," he said. "To her mom, dating meant meeting me at the movie theater. Her mom would drop her off. As soon as her mom left, we'd go riding around and come back when the movie was over. Her mom didn't know we hadn't been there the entire time."
Steve looked younger than he was so, it was easy for Debbie to let her mother believe he was her age.
Debbie enjoyed the attention she received from Steve, going out and having fun. "I really didn't have any adult thoughts," she said. "Oh, I thought I loved him but, in a 13-year-old way. I had boyfriends before but he was the only one I have ever been intimate with."
Desperate to get out of his home situation, Steve joined the Navy after high school. "When I came home on leave, Debbie told me she thought she might be pregnant," he explained. "We really didn't say anything else about it because she didn't know for sure."
Steve and Debbie in 1972.
When she was about five months along her mother asked her straight out if she was pregnant. Debbie admitted she was. She felt as if she were in an unreal dream not really knowing what to do. Steve's mom called him, told him the news and asked what he was going to do.
"I said without hesitation, 'I'm going to marry her.' One thing I hoped would come to pass was that we would eventually get married. I knew I loved her. I hadn't dated any other girls. She was the first."
Marrying Steve was something Debbie wanted to do, as well. " I wasn't pushed into it," she said. "It seemed like what we needed to do. We knew we had created a life and wanted to make a home for the baby."
The two were married on July 3, 1972 while Steve was home on leave. Debbie was 15; Steve was 18. The next day he shipped out to Ireland. Their son, Steven, was born on Sept. 19. By December, the teenage mom, her newborn infant, along with a case of formula, bag full of cloth diapers and clothes for both flew 6,000 miles away to worn-torn Belfast.
"When I got off the plane with Steven in the pumpkin seat and both shoulders full of heavy bags, the first thing I saw was a sign that said, 'Do not leave luggage unattended or it will be shot.'"
She felt scared and alone. Eventually she found Steve. He was at the airport but had fallen asleep upstairs because he had just gotten off of a double shift as a radioman.
Steve and Debbie agree, though, that living in Ireland for the first few years of their marriage was good for them. "It helped to not be around family," Steve said. "It bounded us together as a family unit. It gave us a good foundation as a family."
However, due to their immaturity, both say they were like two kids playing house. "I didn't know how to cook," Debbie said laughing. "We ate a lot of spaghetti, pizza and Campbell's soup."
Their second son, Bryan, was born in 1975 while the Duprees were stationed in Florida. When Steve got out of the service, they moved back home and rented a trailer in Columbia.
One evening, Steve got up with the Bryan and discovered to his horror his son had passed away of crib death. "Bryan's death hit me hard," Debbie said. "I couldn't go back into the trailer. We moved in with my Mom and Dad."
Although she doesn't remember much about the days after her son's death, she remembers a day when things changed. "I was sitting by the side of my parents' house and a voice said to me, 'You still have Steven and he needs you.' I got up and went forward from there."
To Steve, Bryan's death was one of the lowest points of his life. "I felt I was the dad and I should have somehow made this not happen," he said. "I felt worthless and guilty that I couldn't do anything to help Bryan."
Where Steve had always prided himself in being a valuable employee, it got to the point where he didn't care any more. He started partying, drinking and smoking marijuana with a guy from work. and his friends. At first Debbie was going with him.
"Steve always wanted me to go with him," she said. "I didn't mind drinking every now and then but, I didn't like doing it to excess. I didn't like not knowing what I was doing."
They left the children with her mother while they spent late nights with Steve's new friends. "He really wanted friends," she said. "This guy and the ones he was partying with seemed like the friends he had never had."
Drinking and smoking marijuana became an escape for Steve. "I didn't want to think about Bryan. Drinking was a crutch, a poor crutch. It made things a whole lot worse instead of better. When the numbness wore off the problems were still there along with more problems on top of them."
Meanwhile, Debbie was begging him to stop the partying lifestyle and spend time with Steven and their new daughter, Christean. "I wanted a happy family, the storybook family. But he wouldn't give up the friends. He had become a different person than the man I married. I didn't love him any more."
Steve admits that he had no consideration for how Debbie felt or even for the family. Debbie was working long hours while Steve drove back and forth to Linn Technical School to get a heavy equipment degree.
"I wasn't being a good husband," he said. "I wasn't helping out. I was either in school or partying. I just wasn't paying attention to my wife and family. "
The problems they were having were not one-sided, though. "I was stubborn and had a terrible temper," Debbie admitted. "I would get really angry and yell. Because of the way Steve was raised, he wouldn't fight back. He would just leave. That made me even madder."
Being back in Columbia around family was also an issue for Steve. "It brought back bad memories for me," he said. "I had no real extended family in my life. Her family had a strong bond that I never really understood. I didn't fit well. It added friction to our relationship."
When Steve and Debbie got married both agreed they would never consider divorce. Being raised by a devout Christian mother and father, Debbie especially felt this way. But she decided divorce was the only recourse.
"Debbie had turned off her feelings for me altogether," Steve said. "That was just something more to feel guilty about. I didn't want the divorce. I really wanted to make it work but, Debbie felt it was too little, too late."
They were divorced in 1981. Looking back on the divorce now, Debbie said, "It's weird to me that I felt that was what I needed to do."
Steve didn't hire a lawyer even though Debbie's attorney urged him to. He gave the house and everything to Debbie and agreed to pay a large sum to her each month. Not finding a job in Missouri to go with his new training, Steve went to work in Texas.
"I was miserable," he said. "I ran up a huge phone bill calling Debbie and the kids. I came back in a few weeks." He moved into the house with Debbie as a housemate but, the problems they had started all over again. They continued to argue. He moved in with his brother. Still, he mowed the lawn, maintained the house and fixed whatever was broken. He even babysat the kids when Debbie went out on a date.
"I like to say we had a good divorce," she said. "He was still the kids' dad. But my feelings hadn't changed for him. We still had the same issues."
Looking back on things Steve says the time apart helped them both reflect on things. "I got worse and Debbie got better," he said. "God was working on both of us. Debbie had to come to a point of release. I had to come to a point of acceptance."
Steve was working for a lumber company but, still drinking heavier than ever. Friends at work invited Debbie to go to church with them. She went, she says, become she knew she knew she needed something and the kids needed a better foundation.
"I went and loved it," she said. "It was different from the church I grew up in. I felt love that was warm and real. Every teaching hit me in the heart but, it was with love."
Debbie, Christean, Steve and Steven are one happy family in 1982.
Debbie accepted Christ as her personal savior right away and was Spirit-filled. "It was a totally new life," she said. "God remade me. It was beyond my wildest dreams that I could finally feel peace and joy." Her children immediately loved the church and accepted Christ, as well.
Although Debbie had wanted the divorce, she was not happy. "I wanted a life with my children's dad. When I found Jesus was there for me, it gave me hope where I had lost hope. But, I knew I would never consider marriage to Steve unless he accepted Jesus."
Debbie vividly remembers one evening sitting in the living room with her children. "We held hands and prayed in agreement that Daddy would come to Jesus as we had. We asked Him to put our family back together. After that, the kids just felt it would happen. They had pure faith."
The biggest thing Steve noticed about Debbie after she accepted Christ was "that irritating difference. She was just so calm. She had found peace without me. I felt hopeless. I had thought maybe we could patch everything up and get back together but all of a sudden I felt it would never happen. She didn't need me."
Though Debbie's new found faith had a negative affect on Steve, it also made him curious. "She wasn't acting like 'Ha ha, I found God and you didn't.' And that was intriguing. She invited me to church. Even though I said, 'No,' she left the door open for me to call anytime I wanted to go."
Curiosity eventually won out. "I remember walking in the door and a man by the name of Norris grabbed me and gave me a big hug. I thought, 'What is this guy doing? What is this all about?' He was grabbing everybody who came in the door and hugging them."
The message that night and the people in the church resonated with Steve. "The way people treated me and each other was so alien to me. It was a type of love I hadn't experienced before. It was like what I had always a imagined a family should be."
Steve found the environment to be "very intriguing. I was hearing and seeing things I had never seen. The flow of the Spirit was amazing."
As Steve attended the church, Debbie was fighting a different battle. "I constantly prayed for him to be born-again and Spirit-filled. I determined I wasn't going to marry him until I saw him living as a Christian.
"Finally, I realized I had to let go. I prayed, 'God, Steve's salvation is more important than he and I being together. However it happens it will happen between You and him. I'm giving him to You.' "
After she prayed she told Steve about her decision. "She told me about how God had told her she had to give me up and let Him do His work in me," Steve said. "I didn't know what she was talking about."
The night Steve finally made his decision for Christ he was attending a newcomer's class. Debbie was not there "I remember the joy I felt," Steve said. "I was driving home with tears flowing down my face. I couldn't see to drive. It was overwhelming joy."
For the first time, Steve saw clearly the years he had wasted. "What I had lived up to that point was misery," he said. "I was so happy but I also saw what a wretch I was. It made the grace and love of God even more profound that He accepted me just where I was."
The next Sunday when he went forward, Debbie says was a time of rejoicing. "Steve had a huge, deep hole that God had to fill. He is slow to commit but, when he does it is a deep commitment."
After that, Steve's life took a dramatic turn. His old drinking buddies just laughed at him when he told them what was going on in his life.
"God opened my eyes to the evil of everything about that situation," he said. "I realized I was caught up in the world. I wished that I had come to faith an earlier age to avoid all the difficulties I had created in my life. I stopped the drinking and partying."
In the church they attended at the time, marriage was a serious business. Those who wished to be married in the church by one of the pastors needed to complete six months of premarital counseling. However, after three months, the pastor counseling them said, 'There is no doubt in my mind you were meant to be together."
They were remarried on Oct. 10, 1982, less than a year after they were divorced. "We have two anniversaries and we earned both of them," Debbie said.
The Duprees started their second marriage totally devoted to God. "We were very active in the church," Steve said. "We went to all the functions. I wanted to learn as much as I could about how to follow Christ."
Steve, Steven, Debbie, Jesse, Christean and Daniela.
Knowing their children had suffered a lot in the divorce, Steve and Debbie determined to bring them up in a godly manner. Norris, the door greeter, also turned out to be a prophet. Debbie had been told by doctors she would not have any more children, but Norris told her she would have a dark haired, dark-eyed girl. Daniela was born the next year. He also told her she would have another son. That son was Jesse, who is now in the Army.
Eventually the church they were attending had difficulties and closed. "We were out of the loop on a lot of that," he said. "It is always difficult when a church falls apart. It was like our family and that is traumatic." Despite the problems with the church, Steve and Debbie's faith held strong finding other churches and avenues in which to serve God.
After putting their two youngest children in Christian Chapel Academy, it became natural to join the church, as well. Today they still serve in Christian Chapel, now dubbed C2.
Their daughter, Daniela, sees her parents as the pillars of the family. "They are ones everyone depends on," she said. "I can always talk to mom. She's my best friend. I have a different perspective of what a parent looks like than a lot of my friends."
Her parents have taught her that love is a choice. "They decided through all the drama that love for each other and their family was worth it," she said. "Today they have a strong relationship and a solid faith."
Debbie believes wherever a person starts with God, He can work things out if the individual is willing to allow Him into their life. "We started our marriage young. We made a mess of a lot of things but God worked it out. We are living proof of that."
Steve and Debbie Dupree
Her advice to others in the midst of divorce or considering remarriage is to give it to God and let Him work it out. "Don't lose faith. In my situation, it wasn't going to happen. I didn't love him any more. I really cannot articulate how bad it was. God turned my heart back to Steve and Steve's heart to God. It is an absolute miracle that we got remarried."
Today, Steve and Debbie know each other so well they can finish each other's sentences. "When she suffers, I suffer. When the family suffers, we all suffer. We have learned to lean on each other in the rough times. We know the power of prayer and of praying in agreement."
Debbie adds, "I couldn't be happier. He's my best friend. He's my lover. Love just gets better." Next year they will celebrate a combined total of 40 years of marriage.
As a general handyman, Steve fixes things for a living. But there's Someone who is a better repairman that Steve.
"God is the master fixer," he said. "I know He can fix anything because He fixed me. He fixed my wife. He fixed my marriage. He swirled His hands and made everything fit together like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
"He is an amazing God. He has filled our lives with miracles."

My family needs a divine miracle. Pray that the Lord will restore my marriage. Please pray that He will bring my wife to a saving knowledge of Him and He will rain His Holy Spirit down from heaven on her. I really want my marriage to be restored but I want nothing more than to see my wife saved. I know the Lord is working on her heart but she is fighting it. Please Lord don't harden her heart. Show her your mercy. I know you are coming soon Jesus and I want to try to take things in my own hands but I will continue to trust in you. All Glory to God!!! I praise your name.

El puente Shahi, también puente Munim Khan, puente Akbari, puente mogol o puente [de] Jaunpur, es un puente de la India del siglo XVI que atraviesa el río Gomti en la ciudad de Jaunpur, en el estado de Uttar Pradesh. El puente Shahi está ubicado a  al norte de la estación de tren de Jaunpur, a  al noroeste de Zafarābād , a  al noreste de Mariāhū y a  al noroeste de la ciudad de Kirākat.

Construcción

El emperador mogol Akbar ordenó la construcción del puente Shahi, que se completó en los año 1568-1569 por Munim Khan. Llevó cuatro años completar el puente. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto afgano Afzal Ali.

Uso actual

El puente fue severamente dañado en el Terremoto de Nepal de 1934. Siete de sus arcos tuvieron que ser reconstruidos. Además de su importancia histórica, el puente todavía está en uso.

El puente está en la lista de Protección y Conservación (Protection & Conservation list ) de la Dirección de Arqueología, (UP) desde 1978.

El puente es generalmente reconocido como la estructura mogol más importante de Jaunpur.

Un nuevo puente paralelo al puente Shahi fue inaugurado el 28 de noviembre de 2006 por el entonces ministro principal de Uttar Pradesh, Mulayam Singh Yadav.

En literatura

William Hodges en su libro Select Views in India menciona sobre el puente::

El poema de Rudyard Kipling, Akbar's Bridge menciona este puente.

January 9, 2021 by Paul Sinclairtags: 1970s, 1980s, coloured vinyl, Whitesnake
'Revisited, remixed and remastered' tracks • Coloured vinyl & CD
Whitesnake celebrate 'the blues' with a new collection (on CD and coloured vinyl) that features remixed and remastered versions of the group's best blues-rock songs.
The new compilation delivers a mix of hits – such as 'Slow An' Easy' and 'Give Me All Your Love' – and 'deep cuts' that originally appeared between 1984 and 2011 on six Whitesnake studio albums and Coverdale's solo album, Into the Light.
Whitesnake's singer-songwriter David Coverdale pays tribute to blues artists like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and the three Kings (Albert, B.B. and Freddie) in the sleevenotes of this new release:
"It's hard to find the words to show how profoundly they connected with my soul. But 'blues' to me is a beautiful word that describes emotional expression… feelings, be it feelings of sadness, loneliness, emptiness… but, also those that express great joy, celebration and dance, sexiness and Love!!!"
The Blues Album is the third and final release in the band's 'Red, White and Blues' trilogy (Love Songs and The Rock Album were the other two). It is released on 19 February 2021.

Any possibility of these for this year (or any year)?
Best Of / Box Set – Kraftwerk (ideally a single edits / b-sides compilation)
Deluxe Editions of Talk Talk's four EMI albums
Best Of / Box Sets from Kate Bush, The Blue Nile and Catherine Wheel (as far as I know none have ever been released – apart from Kate Bush, which you mentioned)
Deluxe Editions of Simple Minds first four albums
GTR says:
Whilst I think these 3 albums have been a good idea I think the quality of the remixing is pretty poor, the drum sound in particular. They sound very 2020 so will end up sounding just as dated as the original recordings do today, perhaps even more so. I'll stick to my much-loved originals.
Or is this a taste of the future… acts frequently remixing the same songs so they sound contemporary?
Jez Hunt says:
From what I have read, DC cannot include anything pre 1984 in this trilogy due to contractual issues, otherwise I am sure a lot of the tracks would come from the 1978-1984 very bluesy period.
I understand that WS fans have their favourite eras, but perhaps strangely I am a fan of all eras including the late 80s big hair era. I would suggest that this trilogy is probably only for hard-core fans/collectors only though. A new album would be welcome soon please David.
I haven't heard the new remixes for the Red and White albums yet. I never liked the original mix for Whitesnake (1987). It seemed very flat and muddy so maybe this idea isn't all that bad.
Piotr Langtvedt says:
The 1987 recordings actually sound better in the remix. Much clearer.
As discussed on the official site, DC does not own the rights to the pre-Slide It In material so this necessarily covers everything from 1984-onwards. I think this compilation is more aimed at those who haven't followed Whitesnake since the 80's. I'm still looking forward to it!
Ian Ellis says:
The Bob Mould Distortion 24cd box is £64 on ebay. New and unsealed sold through musicmagpie. The list price is £80.32 but just apply the voucher code PACKUP20 to get 20% off. Offer ends midnight. 4 copies left. They sold 3 yesterday, one of them to me !
What a dreadful and cheap looking cover
In December 2020 i bought Little Box 'O' Snakes (The Sunburst Years 1978-82) boxset. It was first time i bought Whitesnake recordings though i know and heard them since late 80's. I think the boxset have much more blues than this new cd/vinyl and David Coverdale hasn't lost his voice yet!
Don't see the point in rehashing these songs again, especially as remixes. I will stick to their best of CD.
DC lost me through his Americanisation in the 80s. It's really painful for me to see some of these releases over the years. How about one called "The classic line-up" featuring some of the soundboards from the Coverdale-Lord-Marsden-Moody-Murray-Paice years that I read Bernie Marsden has lying around?
jonathan stevens says:
hopefully the trilogy will one day be released together, and there will be further savings to be made
Such strange choices given the largely blues-based material on the first four albums. Walking in the Shadow of the Blues, Come On, Sweet Talker, Trouble, Take Me With You, Ready an' Willin and Ain't no Love in the Heart of the City far more blues-based than many of these big haired wigouts.
David Gallagher says:
They don't have the rights to the first four albums.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney leaves after speaking to the media Tuesday, February 4, 2020 in Montreal.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz
Coastal GasLink blockades a 'dress rehearsal' for future project fights: Kenney
He said the protests are not about Indigenous rights
Feb. 12, 2020 7:50 a.m.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he's concerned that blockades in support of First Nations opponents to a northern British Columbia natural gas pipeline are a "dress rehearsal" for opposition to future energy projects.
Demonstrations have blocked railways, ports and bridges across the country in solidarity with hereditary chiefs fighting the Coastal GasLink project that crosses the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation.
Kenney described the protests at a Tuesday news conference as "ecocolonialism" from southern Canadians "projecting their own fringe political agenda."
He said the protests are not about Indigenous rights because all 20 elected First Nations band councils along the pipeline route have signed benefit agreements with Coastal GasLink.
The Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs, however, assert title to a 22,000-square-kilometre traditional territory. They say the band council established by the Indian Act only has authority over reserve lands.
Anyone demonstrating because of the pipeline's climate impact is hypocritical, because the line would enable countries such as China to burn liquefied natural gas from Canada instead of dirtier coal, Kenney added.
"This is not about Indigenous people. It's not about carbon emissions. It's about a hard-left ideology that is, frankly, opposed to the entire modern industrial economy. It's about time that our police services demonstrated that this is a country that respects the rule of law," the premier said.
"Allowing people to completely destabilize the lives of tens of thousands of people, costing all of us untold costs in our economy … in opposition to the express democratic wishes of First Nations is outrageous and it has to end."
Kenney has also argued that Indigenous rights are not a valid reason to oppose the proposed Teck Frontier oilsands mine in northeastern Alberta. He reiterated in a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week that 14 affected First Nations and Metis communities have signed participation agreements.
The chief of one of those communities wrote in a letter to federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson that Alberta has so far done little to accommodate his First Nation's concerns over environmental monitoring and wildlife conservation.
"While both Teck and Canada are dealing with us in good faith, we feel that Alberta has not taken its duty to consult seriously," Athabasca Chipewyan Chief Allan Adam wrote last week.
Alberta Environment Minister Jason Nixon said Tuesday that the United Conservative government has met with the First Nation almost a dozen times in recent months and continues to work closely with it.
He said concerns over a bison herd in the region are Ottawa's responsibility and Alberta has already created a large wildland park for caribou.
"Chief Adam primarily seems to want to discuss money. And while I understand that it is his responsibility to drive the best deal he can for his constituents and for his band, it is also our responsibility to make sure that we work on behalf of Alberta taxpayers and move forward in a productive way for that portion of the province," Nixon said.

The federal cabinet has until the end of the month to make its decision on the $20.6-billion oilsands mine.
Kenney said in his letter to Trudeau that a rejection would have devastating consequences and would stoke western alienation.
The project is expected to emit about four million tonnes of carbon a year and operate for 40 years. Kenney said Teck has made great strides to reduce emissions per barrel.
Kenney said that in a world expected to need oil for decades — "not the fantasy land where we fuel the modern economy with pixie dust and unicorn farts" — it's better to have a "progressive" company such as Vancouver-based Teck Resources provide it than "OPEC dictatorships."

A: I looked at recent forks of that repository, and I'm guessing this one is yours? https://github.com/KimTrijnh/KimTrijnh.github.io
It's helpful for that information to be included in future posts as it allows others to see the code in question.
I cloned the repo and tried getting it up and running locally and it wouldn't work without some modifications. I believe that package.json is missing some dependencies.
After I modified package.json to include these new dependencies, the site worked properly.

Age: The Biggest Risk Factor for Atrial Fibrillation
Find out why getting older makes you more vulnerable to afib and what steps to take to protect yourself.
Elizabeth Shimer Bowers
Medically Reviewed by Niya Jones, MD, MPH
As our bodies age, we become more at risk for various health conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Apart from more frequently discussed age-related problems, there's another heart condition people become more at risk for as the birthday candles add up: atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that may cause you to feel like your heart is skipping a beat or banging against your chest. In serious cases, afib causes blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart problems. More than 2.5 million Americans have afib, according to the American Heart Association, and age is the single biggest risk factor. Most people are diagnosed after age 65.
Why is age such a strong risk factor for atrial fibrillation? For one thing, by the time many people reach their mid-sixties, they already have an underlying heart condition. "Age is a major risk factor for all cardiovascular diseases," says Richard Wu, MD, director of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Lab at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. With age comes increased rates of diabetes, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), and other heart-related issues. Through various mechanisms, these cardiovascular problems can contribute to cause afib.
In some cases of afib, age alone may be to blame. "Just like other organs, the heart ages," says Sameh Mobarek, MD, an electrophysiologist at Rex Heart & Vascular Specialists in Raleigh, N.C. Put simply, the aging heart may pump less efficiently, which can lead to afib.
Non–Vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants Preferred Over Warfarin in Updated Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines
Can Regular Toothbrushing Lower Risk of Afib and Heart Failure?
To better understand atrial fibrillation and afib causes, it's important to first know how your heart works. When the heart beats, the atria (the two upper chambers of the heart) and the ventricles (the two lower chambers) alternately contract and relax in a rhythm to pump blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. These contractions initiate in a bundle of cells in the right atrium called the sinoatrial (SA) node, which then spreads electrical impulses through the atrial walls.
"Over time, the atria stretch, making them more likely to fibrillate," Dr. Mobarek says. "And islands of fibrous tissue develop on the walls of the atrium, creating obstacles for the heart's electrical impulses." Instead of going straight through the atria (as they should) the impulses spiral and cause atrial fibrillation.
"Aging is also associated with stiffening of the arteries, which results in high blood pressure and increases the workload of the heart," Dr. Wu says. In addition to stretching the atria, over time this increased workload can thicken the muscle walls of the ventricles through a process called ventricular hypertrophy. "This added stress makes the heart more irritable, resulting in extra beats that can become risk factors for atrial fibrillation," he adds.
Lifestyle Changes to Help Prevent Atrial Fibrillation
"We are not sure why some older people develop atrial fibrillation and some don't," Mobarek says. "But we do know that, if there are other risk factors for atrial fibrillation present, those risk factors need to be addressed." Here are some healthy lifestyle tips to modify other potential afib causes:
The Top 8 Natural Hangover Remedies
Although there's no foolproof way to prevent a hangover, there are ways to mitigate some of the most common hangover symptoms. From headache and nausea, to dehydration and fatigue, here's what doctors and dietitians recommend. Learn More
Control high blood pressure. "Uncontrolled hypertension increases risk for atrial fibrillation, heart attacks, and stroke," Wu says. "Higher pressures within the heart can also damage the heart muscle, producing scar tissue, which makes atrial fibrillation more likely to sustain once it starts." Have your blood pressure checked regularly, and if it's high, talk to your doctor about ways you can reduce it.
Control sleep apnea. "Obstructive sleep apnea, a condition in which the flow of air pauses or decreases during breathing while you sleep because the airway has become narrowed, blocked, or floppy, is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation," Wu explains. If you suspect you may have sleep apnea because of daytime tiredness or because a partner hears your breaks in breathing at night, see your doctor to manage it and rule it out as a potential afib cause.
Get the right amount of exercise. "Regular exercise and a healthful diet are important for decreasing risk of heart disease and controlling obesity; obesity increases risk for sleep apnea and, therefore, is also a risk factor for atrial fibrillation," Mobarek says. "But extreme, high-endurance exercise can also be an afib cause, possibly because it stretches the atria," he notes. Aim for a moderate exercise schedule of 30 to 40 minutes, four to five times a week as a good goal to help eliminate the obesity risk factor for atrial fibrillation, Mobarek advises.
Drink only in moderation. "Excessive amounts of alcohol can be toxic to the heart and cause cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle) or congestive heart failure," Mobarek says. All of these heart conditions are potential afib causes. "There's also something called 'holiday heart syndrome,' which is particularly common in young people," he notes. "They drink a little too much over the weekend or the holidays, and then Monday morning at work, they are in afib." To eliminate alcohol as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, women should have no more than one drink a day and men no more than two a day.
Overall, because age is such a strong risk factor for atrial fibrillation, you cannot completely prevent the condition. "In addition to obesity and congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation is one of the three big cardiovascular epidemics in the aging population," Mobarek says. Even so, you can still take the best possible care of yourself. See your doctor regularly for annual blood work and blood pressure checks and modify your controllable risk factors for atrial fibrillation with a healthy lifestyle.

Championing Southeast Asian Film – Singapore International Film Festival announces 2022 Film Fund Recipients
SINGAPORE, JUNE 29 2022 – Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) announces its shortlist of eight documentaries and short films from Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore which will be the recipients of the SGIFF Film Fund this year.
Each year, eight promising stories and thought-provoking films are selected under the SGIFF Film Fund which comprises the Tan Ean Kiam Foundation-SGIFF Southeast Asian Documentary Grant (SEA-DOC) and SGIFF Southeast Asian Short Film Grant (SEA-SHORTS) in the hopes that they will contribute to the growth of the Southeast Asian film landscape with their unique stories and viewpoints. This year, the SGIFF Film Fund continues to champion Southeast Asian works, supporting independent cinema and propelling independent filmmakers forward.
The Tan Ean Kiam Foundation – SGIFF Southeast Asian Documentary Grant (SEA-DOC)
The Tan Ean Kiam Foundation – SGIFF Southeast Asian Documentary Grant (SEA-DOC) is awarded to four mid-length or feature documentaries annually across projects in the production and post-production phases. For the first time this year, the grant is awarded to three production projects, with special consideration to add an additional project to this category, with each recipient receiving S$30,000 in cash.
One post-production project will also be awarded with a cash amount of S$20,000 per recipient. With the SEA-DOC grant, the Tan Ean Kiam Foundation hopes to support Southeast Asian documentary filmmakers to continue capturing the stories unique to the region.
"Documentary films help us to see and feel a world we otherwise would not. They allow us to engage with a world outside of our own and give us a new perspective. We hope that the grant allows these filmmakers to continue giving a voice to the important issues of today and progress our world," said Tan Keng Leck, Vice-Chairman of the Tan Ean Kiam Foundation.
Ranging from an ambitious and at times audacious exploration of a people's complex ties to a sacred mountain, to the intimate journey into the heart of an oftentimes misunderstood community, to the harrowing account of life on the frontlines of one of the region's deadliest conflicts, to a delicate balancing act involving art, memory and poetry, this year's winners are a reflection of the depth of talent here in Southeast Asia.
The selection committee commended the four projects for handling their stories with nuance and craft, and said that each of the filmmakers selected demonstrated a deep connection with their stories and a dedication to their craft, and praised those who took risks in their work.
Top Left - Bottom Right: Andrea Suwtio (Indonesia), Riar Rizaldi (Indonesia) & Liao Jiekai & Elysa Wendi (Singapore). Anonymous recipient is not shown.
This year, the grants are awarded to:
A Distant Call by Andrea Suwtio from Indonesia
As Indonesia increasingly persecutes LGTBQ+ people, an ancient way of life that celebrates five different genders survives on the island of Sulawesi, their last remaining leaders must make a critical decision: conform and risk their culture's extinction, or refuse and be ostracised by society.
The selection committee cited, "We picked "A Distant Call" for its sensitive portrait of two members of a marginalised community, and for its nuanced exploration of issues of identity, belonging, and faith."
Monisme by Riar Rizaldi from Indonesia
A hybrid docufiction that observes the human-nature relationship in Mount Merapi, Java, Indonesia, from the perspective of mystic, volcanologist, and sand miner.
The selection committee cited, "We were very impressed by the way this project creates a multilayered universe. Through a story and an artistic vision that brings together landscape, labour, state violence, and mythological narrative, it dares to look at the world from a point of complexity, trusting cinema as a form for deeper seeing and thinking. The film proposes a method that draws from its roots in local reality, and gives it a very promising uniqueness."
On Memories of Countless Days Away by Liao Jiekai and Elysa Wendi from Singapore
Through intertwined tales of the last Javan Rhino and a young man's journey to his family ancestral grave, the essay film investigates themes of wandering and displacement through a personal lens.
The selection committee cited, "Poetry, dance, performance, are all difficult materials for cinema. This project takes them as plastic, spiritual and political dimensions of our relation to the world. We want to support the way it conjugates arts without reducing them to utility, but rather transforming film through them. This is a project that takes artistic exploration and research in its core, bringing together the poetic and political aspects of memory and place."
Untitled Myanmar Documentary from Myanmar (director anonymous)
The Burmese filmmaker captures their experience of the Myanmar military coup, and the revolution against the dictatorship. Throughout the revolution, they encounter people from different walks of life who are fighting for justice, freedom and democracy. They observe their struggle toward a common goal.
The selection committee cited, "The project reflects the on-going situation in Myanmar as it happens and the danger the filmmaker has to endure by making this documentary. As what is happening in Myanmar is not accessible, the committee recognises the importance and urgency of making "Untitled Myanmar Documentary", as well as supporting the filmmaker's freedom to voice their point of view on the political situation in their country. We also want to acknowledge the careful way their project reflects aesthetic and political aspects of "filming revolution.""
SGIFF Southeast Asian Short Film Grant (SEA-SHORTS)
Supported by C47 Investment and White Light Post, the SGIFF Southeast Asian Short Film Grant (SEA-SHORTS) is awarded to four short films this year. Each recipient will receive a cash amount of S$4,000 from C47 Investment, and post-production support worth S$4,000 from White Light Post.
The selection committee saw almost 170 entries from the region's most promising filmmakers, and chose the 4 films that captured their hearts and minds, and that imparted varying notions of the contemporary Asian experience, just waiting to be seen and heard on the big screen – especially in this post-pandemic era.
The films stretch a wide spectrum of concepts, themes and styles, from an ironic comedy about what it is to be childless, set in an Indonesian carnival; an unlikely May-December encounter culminating in an abandoned Ho Chi Minh complex; a transgender teen going through the toxic screening process of a military draft in a Thai Muslim town; and a Burmese girl fantasizing about an 80s diva and astronauts admist political strife. This year's winners are a showcase of the diversity and creativity of Southeast Asian filmmakers.
Selected projects. Top row, L-R: Khozy Rizal (Indonesia), Moe Myat May Zarchi (Myanmar), Nguyen Trung Nghia (Vietnam), and Hesome Chemamah (Thailand)
The grants are awarded to:
Basri and Salma in a never-ending comedy by Khozy Rizal from Indonesia
A husband and wife married for 5 years, own an Odong-Odong at the carnival together, spending their days entertaining and taking care of other people's children without any of their own. Between meddling relatives, self-doubt and an explosive confrontation, they uncover why they have not been blessed with a child.
The selection committee cited, "With a strong and compelling screenplay replete with striking and charming visuals, Basri and Salma in a Never-Ending Comedy is an endearing project with bold humour providing sharp relief to the underlying drama. While Khozy Rizal's film speaks to the specificities of the cultural expectations of a section of Indonesian society it provides an experience for which audiences across the world can relate."
Sad Diva Lands On the Moon by Moe Myat May Zarchi from Myanmar
Sad Diva Lands on the Moon follows the escapism of a young girl under the turmoil of the country. When she stays at home doing the laundry or browsing the internet, her repressed emotions take on an imaginative run to absurd scenarios such as roleplaying as a female astronaut landing on the moon fighting for her space and a brainwashed sad diva stuck in a vintage propaganda TV show.
The selection committee cited, "The trauma of Myanmar's past and current troubled present and how it affects those who have lived through it are filtered through Moe Myat May Zarchi's dream-like story. With imagination as one of the film's central themes, Sad Diva Lands On The Moon examines and reflects the bravery of individuals of the past on the face of the regressive and how many young people are finding that they may have to fight new battles. With a unique point of view and aesthetic style, the project promises to be both provocative and moving."
Mulberry Fields by Nguyen Trung Nghia from Vietnam
An old woman tangled in a Pyramid Scheme; and a young man, security in the day, personal masseuse at night; are the only two people living in an abandoned apartment complex. Their lives intertwine, and suddenly in the midst of a song, their hidden desires begin to spark.
The selection committee cited, "Through the story of an older woman, whose outward life is very different from the one she actually leads, her complex relationship with a younger security guard and the abandoned building in which they both live, director Nguyen Trung Nghia explores themes that portray social and economical struggles in Vietnam while also examining the human cost of being isolated and alone. With a strong and clear screenplay, the project promises to be both a beautiful character study and an impassioned cry against the illusory happiness that society demands."
Ponay (or You're Not F***ing Welcome) by Hesome Chemamah from Thailand
After running away from home and staying in Bangkok for many years, Cherry, a non-binary trans person is forced to return to their rural hometown in deep south Thailand for the military draft.
The selection committee cited, "A paean for diversity, tolerance and acceptance as Hesome Chemamah's film follows the plight of our titular and non-binary protagonist as they try and have their status recognised by both the Thai military and their family. With a strong central character, the film is both striking and provocative as well as being achingly human."
"This year's submissions across both grants continues to demonstrate a depth and breadth of Southeast Asian talent, and represent the potential of the region's cinematic landscape and cultural movements. SGIFF is honoured to be a part of the journey of these filmmakers and their stories, and would like to give our sincerest congratulations to our recipients of the SGIFF Film Fund," said Kay Wee, Programme Director, SGIFF.

In my constituency, there are colliery rows standing derelict in the villages of Easington Colliery, Horden and Blackhall. They are characterised by low demand and high void rates. Many are not fit for human habitation. They are neglected by absentee landlords and a magnet for antisocial behaviour and crime. Will the Prime Minister commit to providing the funding required for the housing masterplan developed by Durham County Council to fix these issues? If she cannot do that, will she please get out of the way and call a general election and let us have a Labour Government who will address them?


I have been preparing the new kindle edition of my first novel and thinking about violence. Set in the 1981, the year of the Hunger Strikes (a transitional year in terms of the Troubles), Violent Shadows looks at how and why somebody (a young woman), might get involved in political violence.
With my grandmother. Ireland. 1981.
As it turns out, nobody wanted such a novel, not really, (though it garnered excellent reviews). The Irish because they still have a blind spot about the second generation, my family, because it was too close to the bone, the English because they don't really want to know about this particular slice of colonial history.
For me, it was a matter of connecting the old war and the new war. When I was growing up we used to spend the summer in the border county of North Leitrim, my mother' s homeplace. At the entrance to the cemetery where generations of my family are buried is a monument to the local members of the IRA who died in the War of Independence. The old war and the new war—apparently not the same. In 1981, I remember sitting with my uncle on the old famine road above the house. All over the valley, black flags had been raised as each hunger striker died. In the shops and pubs, commemorative posters featured the hunger strikers. My uncle gave me a little pamphlet containing Bobby Sands diary. He didn't say anything and neither did I. 'Whatever you say, say nothing,' didn't just apply to the North of Ireland. The Troubles was a risky subject and one where large numbers of people felt silenced. A number of years earlier, my mother had been forced out of her job as a dinner lady in York, for having the temerity to try and explain the background to the IRA bombing campaign.
Twenty years later, looking at political violence still seems to be a dangerous and taboo subject. We are allowed to write about why violence is bad, to condemn it, to portray its participants as psychopaths, to show the detrimental impact but not to explore the bigger picture, what it signifies, how it emerges and why it might continue to attract disenfranchised young people.

Australia coach Colin Batch says that the Kookaburras can continue performing on the big stage as they bid for a third straight World Cup title.
Hockey Australia have announced an 18-man squad, led by co-captains Aran Zalewski and Eddie Ockenden, for the 16-nation tournament in India.
However, Kieran Govers, who played in 2010 and 2014 and looked to have made his way back into the World Cup reckoning, was not selected by Batch in Friday's squad, while inspirational leader Mark Knowles has retired.
The world No 1 side meet England (7th), Ireland (10th) and China (17th) in a tough-looking pool.
And Batch is aware of the potential upsets a World Cup can offer, especially with the women's version in the summer.
"You create your own pressure and intensity. Everyone that goes to a World Cup has an expectation to win and we're no different," said Batch.
"We only control the things we can and we did that very successfully in the Commonwealth Games.
Batch chose six players from the Queensland Blades side that won last week's Australian Hockey League title, while the domestic league's top-scorer Blake Govers returns from injury, so does attacker Trent Mitton.
Meanwhile Corey Weyer will add fresh spark to the World Cup squad.
"We're very pleased with the way he developed this year. It's his first year in the squad, relocated to Perth, really enjoyed his time here," said Batch.
The Kookaburras play Ireland on November 30 to kick start their tournament.

This course is an introduction to information theory, which emphasizes fundamental concepts as well as analytical techniques. Specific topics include: Information Measures, The I-Measure, Zero-Error Data Compression, Weak Typicality, Strong Typicality, Discrete Memoryless Channels, etc.
The lectures are based on the first 11 chapters of Prof. Raymond Yeung's textbook entitled Information Theory and Network Coding (Springer 2008).
This book and its predecessor, A First Course in Information Theory (Kluwer 2002, essentially the first edition of the 2008 book), have been adopted by over 60 universities around the world as either a textbook or reference text. The electronic version of the 2008 book can be downloaded for free (with institutional subscription).
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of information theory.
Appreciate the notion of fundamental limits in communication systems and more generally all systems.
Develop deeper understanding of communication systems.
Apply the concepts of information theory to various disciplines in information science.
A solid course in probability at the undergraduate level would suffice.


Last week I had the good fortune of taking part in a book signing at Houston's Cakewalk Style Shop. Do you guys know this boutique? The New York Times included in it's 36 Hours in Houston article that came out last week.
The timing of the article and my presence at Cakewalk remind me slightly of my brother's college career and the accolades his schools (yes, that's very plural) kept winning during his tenure.
To be clear, I realize Cakewalk's NY Times shout out has nothing to do with me but I'm completely comfortable riding their coattails.
Find Your Voice // 99 Problems but a Baby Ain't One // Oops!
Us authors (front row) with Cakewalk owners Jen and Gina (obsessed with them) and Roz Pactor in the back center - also obsessed. I want to be Roz when I grow up.
Just to be clear - this isn't out yet or anything. This was just the first copy my publisher sent me. Stay tuned though. If you haven't seen the new & improved MeganSilianoff.com, you can check that out for now!
