The Strange Familiar
Fragments of a portrait
This interview was conducted by Danish musicologist Søren Møller Sørensen, and first published in Danish in the journal AUTograf under the title 'Partituret lyver'.
SMS: Sometimes it's easier to talk about something else, when the thing you want to talk about is really close to your heart. When it comes to compositional principles, Juliana Hodkinson prefers talking about language than music - about all the aspects of spoken language that aren't represented in writing. Pauses, interruptions, hesitations. And the complex relationship between writing, sound and meaning in Japanese, which she has been studying.
JH: It's fascinating that the Japanese got their writing system - as so many other cultural things at that time - from the Chinese via Koreans. Seen as spoken languages, Japanese and Chinese have nothing to do with each other, so writing Japanese with Chinese symbols makes about as much sense as writing English with Chinese symbols. But over the centuries the Japanese have been trying to adapt and modify these Chinese signs to be able to do all that you can say in Japanese. And that development has of course affected the spoken language too. But there are still enormous areas where spoken Japanese has specific complexities that don't fit with the structures of Chinese writing. Sounds in Japanese are often multivalent; that's not only the reason why so much Japanese literature is very nuanced and full of complicated references, but it's also the source of many problems in daily communication. Japanese exemplifies for me that no aural tradition escapes having an array of random mishaps when it's translated into writing. Is 'writing music' a less strange ambition than wanting to write Japanese with Chinese script learnt from Koreans?
SMS: The interest for the incongruence between different aspects of modern Japanese – writing, sound and meaning, sensitivity towards the basic strangeness of language's different faces, and the acceptance of the sources of mistakes and their inevitability are all reflected in Juliana Hodkinson's experimental approach to the score. From work to work she finds new ways of developing the zone of interpretation without crossing over into improvisation. In 'In slow movement' (1994), the tempo is determined by the musicians' breathing pulse and there is no intended vertical coordination of the 7 parts. In 'Water like a stone' (1996) and 'Machine à eau' (1998) it's a major point that the relatively large ensembles necessarily play without conductor, that a performance therefore requires the highest degree of listening and communication between the musicians, and that there is no definitive compositional control over the vertical coordination.
This practice deflects interest from music's ideal representation in the score to music as an event and unique experiential opportunity.
JH: In a way, scores build on untruthful premises. They make everything that happens in rehearsals and on the stage less perfect than the ideal that one's pursuing. For me, the wrong moments where it's all wobbling and not quite right have the same status as the work as you imagine it when you see the score and as you hear it in your head - without mistakes and without reality.
SMS: Behind this weakening of the score's grasp on the performance situation, is there a desire to weaken the score's authority?
JH: I would like to try to remove some of music's possibilities for being predictable, and to remove some possibilities for being able to imagine at all what this music will be like except in the situation where you have an instrument in your hand and try to play the music. Many of my scores can't even be read with any meaningful gain. They only make sense when they are played.
SMS: In her own unique way, Hodkinson is extending the 1960s' and '70s' very ideological wrestle with the musical work-concept. The ideal is so obviously not an 'opus perfectum et absolutem', a closed and self-contained work, which once it is immortalized in writing lives its life independently of its author. The work has surrendered its demand on identity and substance, and writing has given up its demands on universality. How do musicians react to that, and what happens to the composer's role?
JH: I can see that if I continue with these interests, then the number of musicians whom I can show my music to will diminish. Maybe my music will get more specific, maybe I'll write more performance-specific works, and I'll be more interested in unique collaborations with particular musicians or with a particular place or a particular audience. The universal score doesn't work for me, I can't just send my scores around in the world, where they might be played in a large or small space by musicians who maybe don't engage with the music's background. It seems more risky and less rewarding for me and the musicians to approach things in that way. So in a way I undermine my own scores' authority. Maybe I'll become a kind of curator for musical performances that include my works but maybe not only my works.
SMS: Every music creates its own listener. Juliana Hodkinson's music creates a listener who dares to concentrate on listening without being afraid of missing or misunderstanding deep, hidden meanings.
Maybe it's because she poses such large demands for concentration and intimacy on herself and her musicians, maybe it's because the music doesn't rest on systems; it's often structurally uncomplicated, but still minutely worked out in sound and articulation.
Her music is full of strange sounds, but that strangeness has the odd habit of quickly becoming familiar. The microtonal deviations and the untraditional use of instruments are a kind of sensitivity to sound, rather than a negation of it.
But at the same time one senses a sharp intellect's wakefulness and responsibility, a knowledge of musical means and a sure understanding of music's ability to define the space in which it unfolds, and of the fact that music must work to soften the mental and institutional structures that surround it.
On communicating through rehearsals, scores and musical works


We endeavour to make sure it is as easy and simple as possible to book your holiday through us. If you have any questions at all about booking your holiday or completing our booking form, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
Perhaps you've been reminiscing about your last family holiday, browsing destinations online, reading the travel supplements, or just need some vitamin d - either way, we're thrilled that you've found us and if you're new to Bushbaby, we'd love to get to know you and your family better. Many of our lovely clients have been with us for years and trust us to take the long term view about which destinations and holidays work best as your family grows and to ensure that each and every holiday is truly special in every way.
We've created a bright, fun, informative and user-friendly website just for you and hopefully our passion for inspirational family travel shines through and has prompted you to read more about our tempting destinations. If you would like one of our mini-brochures, you can order one here.
Holiday dates and preferred duration - if booking during the school holidays we can advise which destinations work best for different times of the year. For peak periods such as Christmas, Easter or Summer, there's no such thing as too early as availability can often be tricky and flight prices are usually considerably higher if you book at short notice.
Maximum preferred flight time - especially for younger children, or if your holiday is likely to be less than 10 days.
Room requirements- do you prefer a family room, adjoining rooms, a suite or villa for example? Is a king-size bed essential? Do you prefer to have in-room cooking facilities for more independence? Do you need ground floor, easy access accommodation? Do you need baby and toddler items such as cots and high-chairs? Are older children/ teens happy to share a room? Many hotels are happy to provide additional beds for children and this can keep the room cost down, but it's worth bearing in mind that these are often roll-out or sofa-beds so might not be ideal for strapping teens! These are details that can really improve the quality of your holiday and we do our utmost to make sure everything meets your needs, so the more information you provide the better.
Preferred board basis - do you prefer everything to be included, including possible activities, or do you like to leave your options open?
We aim to get back ro you within 24 hours, but in fact it is often quicker.
Whilst the online form is great, we usually find an initial chat covers a lot of ground and means we can quickly understand what your likes and needs are and what we think will suit so do give us a call on 0845 124 4455 or we are happy to call you at your convenience.
We will then work with you to put together a suggested proposal which ticks all your boxes and more. This can take a few days or longer depending on the destination and complexity of the proposal. A detailed proposal letter is usually emailed to you so you can take your time to look through everything as a family. Whilst we typically quote for flights and transfers as part of this process, we are also happy to book accommodation and ground arrangements only if you prefer to arrange your own flights. We have special insurance in place to enable us to do this and it often works well for our overseas clients. For flight-inclusive bookings we usually work with our preferred flight partner Aviate.
When you have given the go-ahead to our costed itinerary, we will check availability if we haven't already done so. When availability is confirmed a provisional booking is made and is usually valid for a specified duration depending on the booking conditions of the selected accommodation. Where availability is proving tricky we will make alternative suggestions. A booking letter will be emailed to you to confirm everything that is being held for you, any changes to the initial proposal and payment details.
Please note that during busy periods, it may be necessary for us to hold a provisional option at the same time as forwarding a quote – to ensure we don't lose that last room or amazing flight rate we've found for you. In this case, we will let you know we are doing so and there will be no commitment to proceed.
to complete our booking form - please take care when completing the information - especially names, which must be EXACTLY as they appear on your passport - even minor inaccuracies can be costly and difficult to amend.
to pay their deposit of 25% of ground arrangements (sometimes a hotel or lodge will require a higher deposit) plus any airline deposit (£75 per person). Our preferred payment method is bank transfer.
to read our Booking Conditions before confirming they wish to proceed with their booking as payment of your deposit signifies acceptance of our Booking Conditions. On receipt we will provide you with a confirmation itinerary and invoice which gives full details of everything you have booked, your payment plan and monies received. Once your confirmation invoice has been issued, it is important to note that you may not be able to make any changes without potentially incurring additional charges.
If you have paid in full for your flight to ensure they are ticketed, you may at this stage be able to reserve your seats and specify any meals, or we can do this for you (nb. some airlines do charge a nominal amount for this service).
As accommodation and ground supplier payment deadlines vary widely, these are usually outlined in your confirmation letter. We would be grateful if you could please make note of them and allow sufficient time to make the necessary bank transfers as any delays risk automated cancellations. As a general guideline we usually ask that the final payment is made at least 10 weeks prior to departure. NB We do not accept credit card payments on balancing payments.
This is the exciting part! Approximately 2 weeks prior to departure your final documents will be sent to the address on your booking form, unless otherwise advised. Your Travel Pack typically includes your final itinerary, airline e-tickets, any accommodation/ transfer/ car hire vouchers (unless presented on arrival in the destination) and useful destination information. We usually email soft copies of the key documents to you as well, just for ease of reference whilst you are away. For bookings made with 2 weeks of departure or with a non-UK address, we will email written confirmation and the relevant travel documents.

Does anyone fancy watching a penalty shoot-out? On this day in 2004, Huddersfield Town beat Mansfield Town in the Division Three Play-Off Final from the penalty spot.
31 May 2004 is a date that resonates with Town fans as the Club sealed promotion from the Third Division at the first attempt under the guidance of Peter Jackson.
The Play-Off Final was an open match, with both sides having a number of opportunities to take the lead, but the score remained level after 120 minutes.
Town, however, was clinical from the spot with Rob Edwards, Danny Schofield and Tony Carss all hitting the back of the net.
Mansfield, on the other hand, missed their first two spot kicks (taken by Wayne Corden and Liam Lawrence), before the third was tucked away by Neil MacKenzie.
The missed penalties meant that Lee Fowler had the chance to fire Town back to Division Two (now League 1) and he duly obliged, before wheeling away to celebrate with his teammates, the supporters and Peter Jackson.

"English is a very funny language," said Amitabh Bachchan many years ago, and many Indians agreed. In Hrishikesh Mukherjee's comedy "Chupke Chupke", a character makes fun of the English language, ridiculing its pronunciations and syntax; and when Kamal Hassan sang "come fast, come fast, don't be slow", no one blinked an eyelid at the bad grammar in the song.
In the India of 2012, English is no longer a language to be made fun of – fluency in English is an indicator of upward mobility, of having a chance at "making it" in this country. As of 2010, English was the second-most spoken language in India, behind Hindi, and the number of Indian English speakers was double the UK's population.
Indeed, in today's India, if you don't know the language, you might find yourself to be the object of ridicule and it is this very insecurity that director Gauri Shinde picks on and explores in her debut feature "English Vinglish".
Her protagonist is Shashi Godbole (Sridevi), a meek Maharashtrian housewife whose broken English is the source of much embarrassment for her pre-teen daughter and mirth for her executive husband (Adil Hussain).
A family wedding in the U.S. means Shashi has to travel alone to New York City and deal with the Big Apple on her own. When she realises she can't even order a sandwich and coffee, she decides to take matters into her own hands and gets enrolled in an English Speaking class.
So far, Shinde tells her tale with much affection and humour, picking out charming moments in a typical Indian middle-class household. She etches her main protagonist skillfully, and we get a full sense of Shashi, her motives and her weaknesses.
The second half drags a bit and Shinde gives in to the temptation to make her world a little too simplistic – there is the familiar cast of stereotypes in the language class – a romantic track with a handsome French chef and some homilies spouted. But despite these flaws, the film never loses its inherent charm.
You will find yourself smiling at Shashi's efforts to learn what "judgemental" means (does it mean mental?) and her first journey alone in the subway, mainly because Shinde makes the characters and settings real enough for you to relate them to your own life.
Don't we all have that relative or parent who struggles with a fancy mobile phone, or has trouble conversing with your friends, because they haven't been able to catch up with the pace with which this country is moving?
"English Vinglish" is also Sridevi's film, out and out.
Back on screen after 15 years, she has lost none of her magic and is perfectly cast as Shashi. Watch out for her in the last scene – you will find it difficult to take your eyes off her.
If you are willing to forgive a few minor problems, "English Vinglish" is a definite must-watch, a film that will warm the cockles of your heart as you walk out of the theatre.
Loved the movie. What a way to make a come-back! Sridevi was brilliant and I wish to see more of Mehdi Nebbou in our films. Gowri Shinde has done a fabulous job as writer-director. The screenplay is tight and the dialogues are crisp and steeped iin reality, devoid of the usual bollywood dialoguebaazi, which is so unreal. The characters are all believable and Sridevi as Shashi has never acted beyond her character, which is great. We don't get to see Sri as the diva in any frame. Imagine a Shahrukh, Salman or an Akshay movie where they have remained true to their characters??
I must compliment Amit Trivedi's zippy music score too. Overall, a must watch. It will also go into my DVD collection for sure.
You mentioned about bad grammar in the song of Kamal Hassan…for me please point out those bad-grammar portions in the song…..


Age Group and Senior swimmers tested the water in a new 50m pool last week end. The trip to Luton was also an early season test of their hard work in training.
A psych sheet for this event and details of how to confirm your entry can now be found on the Competitions page of this website.
Yesterday GLL continued the long tradition of hosting the Barnet Primary Schools Gala at Copthall Leisure Centre. It was, as ever, a competition entered into with enormous enthusiasm from both the swimmers and their supporters. Many of the competitors had never swum in a gala before - either because they were not club swimmers or because they were under the age of 9 when ASA registered swimmers are able to compete in open meets. Despite this, or maybe because of this, they all swam to the very best of their ability.

The Evolution of Retail Logistics in Italy. The Case of Coop Italia

Lara Penco; The Evolution of Retail Logistics in Italy. The Case of Coop Italia, JBRMR , Volume 06 Issue 2, 18 Jun 2012
Retail, logistics, Italy, vertical relationship
The present paper examines on the basis of a single case-study the evolution of logistics in the Italian grocery industry. It analyses the effects of the reengineering the logistic system on efficiency and, in particular, on the manufacturer-retailer relationship. The paper sheds light on new logistic strategy made by the largest retailer in Italy. It shows also that the reorganisation of the supply chain affects the relationship between manufacturer and retailer. This reorganisation leads to important changes in the balance of power along the distribution channel. This paper is based on a specific case study, therefore it may not be generalised outside Italy. However, it represents a first example applying the principles of logistic centralisation in the Italian retail industry, which is characterised by a low level of innovation in logistics, due to its fragmented market structure. Our work aims to suggest managers of retailing firms operating in Italy the main operational guidelines to run their company. The study, in fact, provides important lessons on how the adoption of innovative logistic system can positively affect operational efficiency and vertical relationship

Congress has passed a $900 billion COVID-19 stimulus bill. Here's what it means for Kansas.
Andrew Bahl
After months of negotiations, Congress passed a $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill Monday night, sealing the deal at long last on a wide-ranging aid package that includes everything from unemployment benefits to rural broadband.
All members of Kansas' congressional delegation voted for the bill, which is the most significant injection of aid dollars since the CARES Act was approved in the spring. It was awaiting President Donald Trump's signature, which was expected later Tuesday.
There were also some significant components not included in the legislation — namely direct aid for state and local governments, which many states, Kansas included, have called for to help balance their budgets.
Kansans probably don't have time to read the thousands of pages of bill text to see everything that the sweeping legislation includes. Here are the most notable ways that the latest stimulus package will impact Kansans:
More unemployment relief to come
Kansans eligible for unemployment benefits will be able to get an extra 11 weeks of payments under the stimulus package, as well as a $300 per-week enhancement. That is a less dramatic version of the expanded unemployment program passed in the CARES Act.
A program for self-employed, part-time and freelance workers is set to continue as well, as the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program will be replenished under the terms of the bill.
Also continuing will be the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which helps residents who have exhausted their state benefits.
Both PUA and PEUC were due to expire Dec. 26 without congressional action, although it is unclear whether the programs will briefly lapse as funds get pushed out.
The additional federal programming has been a headache for states to manage. While the Kansas Department of Labor has said it has shrunk a backlog of residents waiting for benefits, thousands are still in line.
The claims backlog, which includes those applying for PUA, currently sits at 28,500. But many residents have been waiting for months to get their payouts and with more Kansans applying for benefits in recent weeks, there is a concern the problem will again deepen.
Jerry Grasso, a spokesperson for KDOL, said in an email that the agency would be implementing the provisions "as quickly as possible," though he noted they were still waiting on federal guidance on how to proceed.
Congress tries to tackle sky-high medical bills
The latest stimulus package included a surprise — a provision that is designed to curb unexpected medical bills that can run into the thousands of dollars.
The practice is known as surprise billing or balance billing, and occurs when a patient is hit with bills from providers outside their insurance network.
This often happens when an individual goes to a hospital or doctor covered by their insurance but also receives care from an out-of-network vendor, such as a radiologist or anesthesiologist.
The resulting bills can be a blow to patients, especially when they were in an emergency and couldn't choose between providers covered by their insurance or those who were out-of-network.
The matter is of particular concern for Kansas, as the state is one of 19 that don't have a law curbing the practice.
In fact, research from the Health Care Cost Institute found that Kansas was second only to Florida in the number of out-of-network charges. Nationally, research shows one in five patients will get dinged with a surprise medical bill.
A solution, however, has evaded federal lawmakers and it was a surprise when a deal halting the practice was included in the stimulus surfaced over the weekend.
That is good news for Kansas, said Linda Shepard, a senior analyst at the Kansas Health Institute.
"It would allow Kansas not to have to worry about it," Shepard said, with the federal legislation covering state residents.
The federal law is similar to what has been passed in other states. That includes a "hold harmless" provision, which doesn't hold the patient responsible for surprise medical bills.
Instead, providers would be forced to collect a cut from the patient that lines up with the amount of money they would have paid if the care was in-network.
The payer, which could be an insurance company or employer, would then work with the health care provider to figure out how much they will cover. In the event an agreement cannot be reached, the matter would be taken to a mediator.
The plan has some wrinkles. For instance, air ambulances are covered under the surprise billing provision but not ground ambulances.
The provision also could make health care costs increase in general, Shepard said, as providers and payers fight over how much money should change hands.
But it is a marked improvement over the status quo, she noted.
"It absolutely is a win for consumers," Shepard said.
States to get billions for vaccine deployment
States will receive billions of dollars to help support the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, something that Kansas officials have said is particularly vital.
The $8 billion earmarked specifically for rolling out the vaccine nationally includes funds specifically for getting the immunizations to communities of color and first responders.
It comes on top of $20 billion specifically for purchasing the vaccine from manufacturers in an effort to ensure the shots can be offered free of charge for those who need it.
Gov. Laura Kelly has raised the alarm that the state was in need of more funds if it were to successfully push out the vaccine in the coming months to health care staff, older Kansans, frontline workers and, eventually, the general public.
"It is imperative that folks back in Washington and Congress get it together and pass another stimulus package and ensure that states can staff up and get folks vaccinated," she said at a news conference earlier this month.
An additional $20 billion will also be offered to help states with testing. Kelly had also warned lawmakers that the state's expanded testing effort, launched last month, would be threatened if more federal funding wasn't approved.
Eviction moratorium renewed
A moratorium on evictions originally set to expire at the end of the year was renewed until Jan. 31 under the terms of the legislation. That date can be extended further once President-elect Joe Biden takes office in the new year.
More money for schools, broadband and highways
Also included in the package was significant support for educational institutions, including colleges and universities. The University of Kansas' top lobbyist said the package would bring upwards of $22.7 million to the school, with about a third of that directly supporting students.
K-12 schools will have access to $54 billion in direct aid and billions more will be given to states, which governors can dole out at their discretion. And there will also be $7 billion more in support of broadband deployment, which comes at a time when the state is redoubling its efforts to expanding internet access in underserved communities.
State transportation departments and local transit agencies will also get money to shore up their operations. That will extend to Amtrak as well, a potential lifeline for the organization after it cut service on some long-distance routes earlier in the pandemic, affecting Kansas and scores of other states.

–Donald Trump, Twitter.com, January 7, 2020 6:55 am
IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "Senate leaders wrangled on Friday [1-3-20] over the terms of President Trump's impeachment trial, deepening their impasse and throwing the start date further into doubt amid disputes over whether to call witnesses or introduce documentary evidence. In a pair of barbed back-to-back speeches on the Senate floor, the top Republican and the top Democrat traded charges of hypocrisy and unfair dealing, settling nothing in the high-stakes fight over the shape of the constitutional proceeding that will decide Mr. Trump's fate. The feuding on the first day of a new legislative session indicated that two weeks of holiday respite had done little to break a logjam that began late last year when Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she would not transmit two impeachment articles approved by the Democratic-led House to prompt the start of a trial until the Senate agreed to a fair process."
–Nicholas Fandos, "Impeachment Impasse Deepens in Senate, Leaving Trump's Trial in Doubt, " The New York Times online, January 3, 2020
GOP/IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "The U.S. Senate remained at a stalemate on Friday [1-3-20] over how to proceed with the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, as the chamber's leaders wrangled over whether White House aides will be called as witnesses and the top Democrat appealed to a handful of Republicans who could help break the impasse. After a two-week holiday recess, there was still no clarity about when Trump's impeachment trial might begin. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, said that in any case the trial could not start without the articles of impeachment, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has not yet sent to the Senate. The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted in December to impeach Trump for pressuring Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a potential rival in the 2020 presidential election."
–Susan Cornwell, "U.S. Senate in stalemate over how to proceed with Trump impeachment trial," Reuters, January 3, 2020 10:36 am
IMPEACHMENT/MITCH MCCONNELL/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "The standoff that's placed President Donald Trump's impeachment trial in limbo is entering a new critical juncture as both sides angle to wring political benefit from the proceedings. Greater clarity of the future of Trump's impeachment could be derived Friday when the US Senate reconvenes and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is likely to speak on the floor. But the prospects for any answers on when the trial will begin or what its parameters might be appear slim. McConnell's speech will mark a return to the impeachment saga after two weeks of relative quiet, where little was learned about how and when Trump's trial would begin even as more details about his administration's attempts to withhold aid to Ukraine were revealed. McConnell hasn't spoken to either of his Democratic counterparts, Sen. Chuck Schumer or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, people familiar with the lack of conversations said."

Kelly Loeffler is scheduled to be sworn in when the Senate convenes Monday in Washington. Her first vote she casts as a senator could come at the conclusion of Trump's impeachment trial on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Trump is expected to be acquitted by the GOP-controlled Senate , where a two-thirds vote is necessary for conviction. On social media and in a recent newspaper op-ed column, Loeffler has criticized impeachment proceedings in the Democrat-controlled House as a 'sham,' a 'sideshow' and a "distraction." Speaking to reporters Thursday after a tour of the Port of Savannah, she confirmed that she intends to vote "No" on removing Trump from office."

One idea under consideration is to allow a collection of House Republicans — who would be fresh off defending Trump in the House — to present a minority report on the Ukraine affair and make their case on the Senate floor, similar to the role Democratic impeachment managers are expected to play in the trial. The idea has been under discussion for several weeks, according to one GOP member familiar with the talks. Some of the names in the mix include Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows of North Carolina, two of Trump's closest allies, as well as Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas, a former prosecutor who sits on both the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees."

And the bespectacled 58-year-old even compares himself with another politician with a big mouth: President Donald Trump…As the Senate gets ready for an impeachment trial, Cramer will be one of Trump's most vocal defenders.

IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: "With his impeachment now all-but-certain, President Donald Trump and his allies are beginning to look past the House of Representatives, shifting their sights to the Republican-led Senate where the President will face trial. Trump, who as recently as Wednesday [12-4-19] lamented impeachment as a 'dirty word,' has struggled to accept the prospect of becoming the third President in history to be impeached. But the President and White House officials are now signaling they will mount a robust defense in the Senate and look to turn the tables on Democrats during the President's trial — including by digging in on the President's unsubstantiated claims of corruption leveled at former Vice President Joe Biden. Trump's new reality began to set in as he returned from the NATO summit in London, where he canceled a scheduled news conference after a video surfaced appearing to show several world leaders, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, mocking Trump's impromptu question-and-answer sessions with reporters alongside foreign counterparts."

IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "The impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump has already seen it all: contentious public hearings, unexpected bombshells, testimony implicating the President and a fair share of conspiracy theories. The drama could escalate even more in the coming weeks as Congress moves to the next phase and preps for Trump's potential trial in the Senate. House Democrats spent the last two months interviewing witnesses and preparing their case against Trump. The House Intelligence Committee is now writing a report that will detail the allegations that might make their way into formal articles of impeachment. Another committee has scheduled a public hearing for Wednesday to delve into the constitutional issues at play…It's a safe bet that House Democrats will vote to impeach Trump, which would trigger a public trial next year in the Senate. Witnesses could be called back to testify, and new players might get involved, too. This is a rarely-ventured corner of American democracy, and there will be new twists and turns while senators deliberate whether they should remove Trump from office."

GOP/SENATE/SYRIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TURKEY: "At one point during his extraordinary joint press conference with President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan turned his attention to the U.S. Senate. The chamber, he contended, would stop the 'vicious cycle' started by the House, which had passed biting sanctions on his country. But senators have a clear response to Erdogan that's at odds with Trump's friendly rhetoric toward the strongman leader: Don't count on it. From Trump critics to stalwart allies of the president, many Republicans said Thursday that Erdogan's visit to Washington had not changed any hearts or minds about Turkey, even after Trump lavished Erdogan with praise and he met privately with five Senate critics. At that meeting, Erdogan showed senators an anti-Kurd propaganda video, which seemed to backfire with the attendees. Republicans remain deeply frustrated with Trump's withdrawal from Northern Syria and the Turkish incursion that followed."

GOP/IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/UKRAINE: "President Donald Trump hosted a group of Republican senators Thursday [11-14-19] afternoon for lunch and showed them an account of his first call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The Republican senators who attended the lunch included Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Ted Cruz of Texas, Steve Daines of Montana, Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Jerry Moran of Kansas. Trump tweeted Monday that he would release a transcript of the April 21 call this week but the White House has yet to publicly share the document. The administration previously released a summary of Trump's July 25 call with Zelensky, which showed he requested the Ukrainian president investigate the Biden family."

COURTS/NOMINATIONS/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: "The Senate on Thursday [11-14-19] confirmed President Donald Trump's judicial nominee to the powerful 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals despite bipartisan frustration over his refusal to answer questions during his confirmation hearing. In a 51-41 vote, the Senate confirmed Steven Menashi, with moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine joining Democrats in voting against him. Menashi, an associate counsel to the president, faced criticism from Democrats and Republicans for declining to answer questions about his work for the White House or about his tenure as a lawyer at the Department of Education, under Secretary Betsy DeVos…In addition to his confirmation hearing performance, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee criticized Menashi last week for a New York Times story reporting that he wrote a plan for the Department of Education to deny debt relief to students cheated by for-profit colleges."

COURTS/NOMINATIONS/SENATE/TRUMP PEOPLE: "The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday [11-7-19] voted to advance President Donald Trump's court pick to the powerful 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — setting up a contentious vote when he reaches the full chamber. Steven Menashi, an associate counsel to the president, faced backlash from Democrats and Republicans during his September confirmation hearing for declining to answer questions about his work for the White House or for the Department of Education, where he was a lawyer. And Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said in October she'd oppose Menashi, saying in a statement it was 'inappropriate' for the nominee to refuse to answer senators' questions and that his 'past writings, particularly about women, LGBTQ advocates, and diversity, raise questions about whether he has the appropriate judicial temperament.'"

GOP/IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "False stories are being reported that a few Republican Senators are saying that President Trump may have done a quid pro quo, but it doesn't matter, there is nothing wrong with that, it is not an impeachable event. Perhaps so, but read the transcript, there is no quid pro quo!"

GOP/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/UKRAINE: "President Donald Trump on Thursday [10-31-19] continued courting the Republicans who will determine whether or not he is removed from office, telling a group of nine GOP senators that he was glad he had released the summary of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Over chicken lunch in the Roosevelt Room, the president repeatedly referenced the summary of his call as exculpatory and touted the opposition of two House Democrats to the House's impeachment resolution on Thursday, according to attendees. House impeachment inquiry witnesses have asserted that Trump had used aid to Ukraine as a condition for investigating his political rival Joe Biden, but Trump still sees the White House readout of the July 25 call as his best defense…The president and senators did not discuss Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman's assertion that some of the transcript of the call was omitted from the summary released from the White House."
–Burgess Everett, "Trump touts Ukraine call during meeting with Republican senators," Politico, October 31, 2019 5:02 pm
GOP/IMPEACHMENT/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: "President Donald Trump is rewarding senators who have his back on impeachment — and sending a message to those who don't to get on board. Trump is tapping his vast fundraising network for a handful of loyal senators facing tough reelection bids in 2020. Each of them has signed onto a Republican-backed resolution condemning the inquiry as 'unprecedented and undemocratic.' Conspicuously absent from the group is Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a politically vulnerable Republican who's refused to support the resolution and avoided taking a stance on impeachment. With his new push, Trump is exerting leverage over a group he badly needs in his corner with an impeachment trial likely coming soon to the Senate — but that also needs him. Republican senators on the ballot next year are lagging in fundraising, stoking uncertainty about the GOP's hold on the chamber, and could use the fundraising might of the president."
–Alex Isenstadt, "Trump lures GOP senators on impeachment with cold cash," Politico, October 31, 2019 5:00 am
COURTS/NOMINATIONS/SENATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: "President Trump is nearing a milestone in his push to overhaul the federal judiciary with conservative judges. If the Senate confirms a batch of nominees now working their way through the approval process, a quarter of the nation's 179 appeals court judges — those sitting just below the Supreme Court — will be appointees of Mr. Trump. That number is far higher than the number of appointees to the appeals court that either George W. Bush or Barack Obama had made at this point in their presidencies. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Thursday [10-31-19] on advancing a group of nominees, including several to the appeals court. But in a break from most other nominees over the past two and a half years, two of them do not have uniform support among Republicans. Votes on Steven J. Menashi, a White House lawyer being considered for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals based in New York, and Halil Suleyman Ozerden, a federal judge in Mississippi nominated for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals based in New Orleans, had been delayed."

Art el payaso (En español Arte el payaso) es un personaje ficticio de la franquicia Terrifier y sus medios relacionados. Creado por el escritor y director Damien Leone, Art apareció por primera vez en cortometrajes de bajo presupuesto antes de hacer su debut cinematográfico en la película de antología All Hallows' Eve (2013). El personaje es el principal antagonista en Terrifier (2016) y Terrifier 2 (2022). Mike Giannelli interpretó al personaje inicialmente hasta que David Howard Thornton firmó para el papel indefinidamente.

Apareciendo originalmente como un personaje secundario en The 9th Circle (2008), Leone decidió desarrollar más cortometrajes con el personaje después de recibir comentarios positivos del público. Art obtuvo una atención significativa de los medios tras el éxito de crítica y taquilla de Terrifier 2. Art tiene una compañera en la forma de La niña pálida vestida de payaso (Amelie McLain), así como enemigos en la forma de las chicas finales Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi) y Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera).

Apariciones

Cine

El personaje hizo su aparición debut en el cortometraje del año 2008 The 9th Circle , que sigue la búsqueda de una joven llamada Casey (Kayla Lian) en una estación de tren vacía en la noche de Halloween. En ella es simplemente un personaje secundario, Art secuestra a Casey y la lleva a un culto satánico para ser sacrificada. Art hizo su siguiente aparición en el cortometraje Terrifier del año 2011 , donde acecha y atormenta a una joven que es testigo de uno de sus asesinatos anteriores.

El personaje hizo su debut cinematográfico en All Hallows' Eve (2013), que incorpora los dos cortometrajes anteriores como segmentos en cintas VHS que Sarah (Katie Maguire) ve con los niños que cuida en la noche de Halloween. Art ingresa al mundo real y asesina a los niños para que una aterrorizada Sarah los encuentre.

En Terrifier (2016), durante la noche de Halloween, Art llena una bolsa de basura con una variedad de armas y comienza a vagar por las calles del condado de Miles. Se topa con las borrachas Tara Heyes (Jenna Kanell) y Dawn (Catherine Corcoran), la última de las cuales lo provoca. Corta los neumáticos de Dawn y los sigue a una pizzería cercana y se encuentra obsesionado con la angustiada Tara. Asesina a las dos chicas y a cualquiera que se cruce en su camino. Más tarde comienza a buscar a la hermana mayor de Tara, Victoria Heyes (Samantha Scaffidi). Después de atropellarla con un automóvil, le come parcialmente la cara y se suicida tras un enfrentamiento con la policía, dejándola gravemente mutilada. En la escena final, una fuerza desconocida lo resucita en la morgue y rápidamente asesina al forense.

En Terrifier 2 (2022), tras la mutilación de Victoria y su suicidio, Art se ha convertido en una leyenda urbana en el condado de Miles debido a que su cuerpo desapareció de la morgue después de ser resucitado por una entidad siniestra. La siniestra entidad que lo revive toma la forma de su primera víctima, una niña que mató en un carnaval años antes, que usa el mismo maquillaje de payaso que él y también es completamente muda, actuando como su cómplice a lo largo de la película. . Solo Art y ciertas personas pueden verla. Un año después, Art comienza otra ola de asesinatos en Halloween, mientras persigue a la adolescente Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) y a su hermano menor Jonathan (Elliot Fullam), cuyo difunto padre conocía a Art y sus secretos. Intenta matar a Sienna con una espada de su padre, pero solo cura sus heridas y ella la usa para decapitar a Art. Finalmente, Victoria, ahora en un hospital psiquiátrico, da a luz a su cabeza cortada aún viva.

Literatura

Art regresa en la historieta de la película de 2016.

Creación y representación

Leone quería crear un personaje de payaso basado en villanos icónicos de películas de terror, pero quería que fuera todo lo contrario al Pennywise de It (1990), carente de color y lenguaje. Art apareció por primera vez en el cortometraje de Leone The Ninth Circle (2008). Aunque solo era un personaje secundario, los espectadores lo encontraron particularmente memorable, lo que llevó a Leone a hacer el cortometraje Terrifier (2011), centrado en Art. Quería crear un largometraje sobre el personaje, pero dejó la idea en suspenso cuando los productores se acercaron a él para presentar sus cortometrajes como segmentos en la antología All Hallows' Eve, con Art como hilo conductor que conecta todos los segmentos.

En los cortometrajes que lo presentan, y en All Hallow's Eve, Art fue interpretado por Mike Giannelli. Cuando Leone comenzó a desarrollar un largometraje basado en Art, Giannelli decidió retirarse de la actuación. Cuando David Howard Thornton presentó una cinta de audición, fue elegido como el villano asesino y está listo para interpretarlo en futuras entregas. Thornton dice que su actuación se inspiró en comediantes físicos clásicos como Charlie Chaplin y villanos de terror famosos como Freddy Krueger de Robert Englund y Pennywise de Tim Curry , pero que su principal inspiración provino de las diversas representaciones del icónico supervillano el Guasón.

Recepción

En una crítica positiva para la revista Starburst, Sol Harris escribió: "Art es un villano verdaderamente enigmático y memorable. Con frecuencia se desvía hacia el territorio de ser genuinamente desagradable de ver, lo que lo hace sentir algo separado del establo de íconos del terror como Freddy Krueger y Chucky . Se debe dar un reconocimiento especial a David Howard Thornton por una actuación verdaderamente maravillosa y que fácilmente se encuentra cara a cara con Curry y Skarsgård ". En una revisión más media, el blog Film School Rejects elogió la representación de Thornton y el uso del lenguaje corporal, pero criticó a Terrifier y consideró al personaje un crapulento con un profundo odio por las personas.

Cultura popular

En el año 2018, la empresa de ropa Terror Threads lanzó un feo suéter navideño del personaje. El rapero y cantante estadounidense Ghostemane cita al personaje como influencia para su álbum de estudio ANTI-ICON (2020).

I recently went to a science center that had some information and questions about thought erasing pills. I couldn't read all the information as I was chaperoning a fifth grade class trip. The whole thought kind of freaked me out and reminded me of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". I would imagine most people would think they wanted to erase heartache. I think we need the memories of heartache to help us grow but that doesn't mean we have to keep the hurt.
I was at a viewing recently where the priest gave a lovely sermon. He spoke about how people always want to make people feel better when they are mourning. He made a great point of saying, we need to mourn. It is healthy to mourn for a period, as long as it doesn't take over.
I would say that if your mourning is majorly interfering with your daily life after about three weeks, it is time to seek help. Yes, it is perfectly normal to mourn after that but if you can't function at all or for more than half the day, you need help.
Hypnosis can help you get over the hurt of heartache. Whether the heartache is caused by a death of a loved one, or a cross country move, hypnosis can help you. Often after a loss, there are underlying issues that can make moving on harder. These can include things such as: fear of being alone, feelings of low self-worth, guilt, and many other negative feelings.
Hypnotherapy can help you figure out what the real issue is and reprogram the negative to become positive. It can allow you to take back your life and live a fulfilling life.
*Disclaimer- If you have thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself, get help IMMEDIATELY. Tender Empowerment is not a Psychotherapy service. If you appear to have depression or any other mental illness, Tender Empowerment reserves the right to stop seeing you until you see a psychotherapist.

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors Walkthrough - Zero Escape: Nonary Games #1
← Kitchen Confinement Area →
After you escape from the kitchen, you can choose to go through door 3.
Escape the Shower Room
Story Segments
How to Escape
If you insist on going through door three, Santa objects, but Junpei has Seven and June verify at the RED before Junpei verifies himself. This means that either Santa will have to verify, or Lotus and Clover will.
Santa accuses Junpei of only doing this to be with June. Lotus and Clover make a run for the door but Santa gets there first.
Santa is angry that the others will have to be left behind. After going through a door, the room that they find has a slippery floor. They verify at the DEAD, then they notice that there is a terrible smell of burnt and rotten meat in the room. Seven turns on the light and they see an exploded body who appears to be Snake. They recognize him from the clothes. The explosion was so powerful that the bone is sticking out of his left arm.
Suddenly June screams "no!" over and over, tearing at her hair and banging on the exit, begging to be let out. She asks "why are you doing these horrible things to us? What did we do to deserve this?"
Junpei holds her until she calms down and is ready to help search the room.
Bucket - left hand bathroom stall
Broom - left hand bathroom stall (story trigger)
Toilet paper with markings - on shelf of left hand bathroom stall
Broom wrapped with toilet paper - Combine broom and toilet paper
Luminol - from box on shelf of left hand bathroom stall
Bucket filled with hot water - After turning on the showers, use the bucket on the showers
Blue key card - From the drain after turning on the showers.
Screwdriver - from toilet tank of middle bathroom stall
Thermometer - Use screwdriver. It's on the wall to the left of the exit (story trigger)
Piece of paper - Use the thermometer on the shower
Red key card - In the toilet tank of the rightmost toilet
When you get the mop, June will mention the rabbit hutches. Junpei remembers that when they were in sixth grade, they were assigned to clean the rabbit hutches every morning. But on the last day of school before vacation, Junpei overslept, and when he got there, June was standing outside of the rabbit hutches, crying. Junpei saw that the rabbits had all been killed.
After Junpei comforted her, June decided that they would ambush the killer by waiting near the other animals. But all summer vacation, the killers never returned. The animals were not attacked, though. Junpei says that they were probably in danger doing that, but June wasn't worried because Junpei was there with her.
June says that she was the only one to volunteer at first. Junpei claims that he only volunteered to avoid getting stuck with some other task, and because June wouldn't tell on him if he slacked off. In reality, Junpei did it to be near June.
When you look at the wall thermometer, Santa asks if Junpei knows why thermometers only go up to 107 Fahrenheit or 75 Celsius. Santa explains that at that temperature, the body cells start to die and the proteins harden, like boiling an egg. It can't go back to the way it was after that. Santa says that even viruses rarely make the temperature go that high. You'd have to be locked in a sauna or thrown into an incinerator and burned to death. Santa seems to want to say more, but instead he walks off, looking very sad.

Get the toilet paper, luminol, bucket, and mop from the left hand bathroom stall.
Use the toilet paper on the broom, then press Search while looking at the broom in the item screen, and you will see that it says 634+ on it.
Use the Luminol on the wall with the blood letters, near the exploded body.
Press the light switch next to the letters to reveal:
L L L
L R R
Go over to the showers and open the panel in the wall. Change the valves so they match the pattern that you found in the previous step.
Use the bucket on the shower to fill it with hot water.
Go over to the drain and tap the card to get the Mercury Key Card.
Open the tank of the middle toilet and use the bucket of hot water in the tank
Get the screwdriver from the toilet tank
Step back and flush the toilet.
Open it up to see 185 =
Touch the thermometer on the wall to the left of the exit and watch the story segment
Use the screwdriver on the thermometer to get the thermometer.
Use the thermometer on the shower
You will get a piece of paper that says 957+
Open the toilet tank of the rightmost toilet to get the Red Card
Use the red card, then the blue card, on the exit lock. It has to be done in that order.
The code can be determined from the three numbers you found: 634 + 957 + 185 = 1776. Enter 1776 in the card reader and it will unlock.
After you escape, you will find a map of C Deck in the hallway. The door that you go through will put you in the large hospital room. Lotus slaps Junpei for what he did, and shakes him by the collar. But Seven tells her to stop, saying that Lotus, Clover, and Ace need to go into the shower room and see what's there. Seven jammed the doors open with a broom and screwdriver so they don't have to go through the numbered door.
After, Seven says that Snake was probably murdered. It would have to have been done by at least two people since three are needed to open a door. Whoever did it probably shoved him in, and he ran for the DEAD hoping it would work even though the killers were still outside. Seven thinks it happened while everyone was looking for the RED parts. The killers could be any one of them.
June is aghast that he could say that so casually. Ace urges everyone not to be suspicious of each other since that's what Zero wants. Ace thinks that Zero himself is the killer. Junpei wonders if Zero is still on the ship. You can choose "Junpei wasn't sure" or "Of course." If you choose the first one, Ace will explain that when Zero was on the loudspeaker, he said "this ship" several times. If you choose "of course," then Junpei will think to himself that it's obvious that Zero must still be on the ship.
Clover thinks Zero is one of them. Junpei can say "hmm, well, that's possible" or "that's crazy!" If he says "that's possible" then June will be surprised, but Junpei will point out that if Zero is instead hiding somewhere, it would be really easy to remotely detonate their bombs, so there would be no point to bracelets at all. Also, he asks why Zero would design all the puzzles to run themselves if Zero were just hiding somewhere watching. Furthermore, Junpei says that the theory of Zero being one of them and whoever killed Snake being one of them implies that Zero killed Snake.
However, Junpei's theory falls short when Lotus asks what Zero's motives for hiding among them are, and Junpei doesn't know.
If Junpei says "That's crazy" then he'll point out that Zero is putting himself in danger if he's hiding among them, and that there's no motive for Zero to do that. He immediately regrets being so harsh with her since she just lost her brother. Ace urges her to trust the others, saying that Zero was definitely responsible for Snake's death.
The clock strikes three. They use the Mercury key card on the elevators and find door 2. Lotus, Seven and Junpei will go through. Door 2.
