# Holden's Performance

Holden's Performance (1987) is a novel by Australian writer Murray Bail. It was originally published by Viking in Australia in 1987.

## Synopsis

Covering the period from World War II through to the mid-1960s this novel follows the life of Holden Shadbolt. After the war Shadbolt moves from his native Adelaide to Sydney where he becomes a driver for Senator (and then government Minister) Sid Hoadley, and later a bodyguard for visiting foreign heads of state.

## Critical reception

Writing in The Canberra Times reviewer Marion Halligan noted: "Murray Bail's latest novel is about language. He proudly claims that it is not realistic, and this is the way it isn't. It turns words into the things they describe, it makes metaphors literal, it puts sound before sense, thus giving sense an extra dimension...I find it the kind of book which amazes and delights while I am reading it, but does not inspire a desire to pick it up once I've put it down. Whereas lesser novels have made me care quite passionately about what happens in them, this didn't. Perhaps because it is so very successful in portraying the great Australian emptiness of its protagonist."
A reviewer at the "complete review" website found: "Holden's Performance is both dense and loose, with Bail capturing an era in a single sentence and yet also floating across years and allowing spiraling narrative digressions. He seems, ultimately, not certain enough what to do with Holden, who still feels unformed at the novel's end, only 34, packed off for grander things. The novel meanders amiably most of the time, yet one misses a firmer payoff...Still, in its details Bail manages a great deal. The unlikely pieces — a lost toe, a vomit stain, the female form — are often wonderfully put to unexpected use. And he has a turn of language that, while not always successful, is generally most entertaining."

# Gu Xiancheng

Gu Xiancheng (Chinese: 顧憲成; pinyin: Gù Xiànchéng; 1550–1612) was a Ming dynasty Chinese bureaucrat and educator who founded the Donglin movement.
He was born in Jiangnan, to a mercantile family, and from an early age was tutored in the Chinese classics. He quickly rejected the Yaojiang school of Wang Yangming, favouring the strong moral dichotomy of earlier Song philosophers such as Zhu Xi. A student of Xue Yingqi, he held office as Grand Secretary in the Imperial Court.
Together with his brother and his student Gao Panlong he rebuilt the Donglin ("East Forest") Academy in 1604, in the town of Wuxi.
The Donglin Charter was based on Zhu Xi's Articles of the White Deer Grotto, and incorporated quotations from a number of Confucian classics. Gu required prospective entrants to have four key qualities, which he called the Four Essentials: students had to consider their fundamental nature, show firm resolve, respect the Classics and scrutinise their own motivation.
Gu's Academy quickly attracted a large student base, and became a rallying point for dissent and criticism of the government, in the form of the Donglin movement. The Academy was strongly critical of the notorious eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and as a result of Wei's persecution it was shut down in 1622; it reopened some years later after the eunuch's death.

# Vitis betulifolia

Vitis betulifolia is a widely ranging species of liana in the grape family native to China (found in Gansu, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces) where its habitat is forested or shrubby valleys and hillsides, at elevations from 600 to 3,600 metres (2,000 to 11,800 ft).
V. betulifolia has rather long intervals for both flowering (March — June) and fruiting (June — November), bearing globose, blackish-purple berries.
Although there may be no vernacular English name for this species, the Chinese name is hua ye pu tao, which translates to "birch-leaf grape". Both the Latin word used for the epithet (betulifolia) and the Chinese hua ye mean "birch leaf".
# Vitis cinerea

Vitis cinerea, the graybark grape, is a variety of grape. It has small black berries that are mildly unpleasant to eat. Plentiful in Missouri and Louisiana, it is also found throughout the eastern half of the US as far west as Texas, north to Illinois, and south to Florida. It is also known by the name winter grape or possum grape.
Vitis cinerea is an American native grape. The leaves are cordiform-emarinate, flabby, dull, limb finely wrinkled (like crepe) between the sub-veins. The teeth of the leaf are very blunt. The buds are grey-ashy-violet.
# Vitis bryoniifolia

Vitis bryoniifolia is a prolific and adaptable, polygamo-dioecious species of climbing vine in the grape family native to China, where it is known as ying yu(Traditional Chinese: 蘡薁 Simplified Chinese: 蘡薁), or hua bei pu tao (Traditional Chinese: 華北葡萄 Simplified Chinese：华北葡萄） (North China grape). The variant form ternata is known as san chu ying yu （Traditional and Simplified Chinese: 三出蘡薁), meaning Three-Spiked-Leafed Ying Yu.
V. bryoniifolia is found in a wide variety of tree-established habitats including forests and shrublands, or fields and valleys where trees are present, especially along the banks of streams; and can be found both in highlands and low- (100–2500 meters above sea-level). It has a long growing season, flowering from April to August, and bearing its fruit (rosy, plum-colored berries, 5–8 mm. in diameter) from June to October; and also a broad distributional range, being reported from 15 of China's 27 provinces and autonomous regions (Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hebei, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan and Zhejiang). It has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a laxative.

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states, "ECM has raised the bar once more by recording and releasing a truly compelling, curious, maddening, and provocative Edition of Creative Musicians with Stoa. Ronin is a band of the future, one that has nowhere to go but out into the sonic stratosphere. Judging by this set, it will be exciting to witness where they go from here."
On All About Jazz Budd Kopmann stated "With no melodies and virtually no harmony, but with plenty of constantly internally clashing rhythm, this music's motivic development pushes you one moment and pulls the next. Whether or not you would call it jazz, its kaleidoscopic nature and simple complexity is riveting. Fabulous." On the same site John Kelman noted "Stoa is an important album that stands to expand the way we look at the junctures between repetitive motifs, insistent rhythms and form-based improvisation."
Global Rhythm magazine's podcast producer, host, and contributing writer wrote, "Global grooves, mercurial melodies, plucky polyrhythms and hypnotic happenings abound on this impressive release by Swiss jazz and neo-classical pianist/composer Nik Bärtsch. 'Zen Funk' is how Bärtsch describes his oftentimes Eastern-influenced music, and indeed, the various tracks, simply entitled 'Modul 36' or 'Modul 33,' are metaphysical musical koans of sorts. He is joined by his remarkable band, Ronin: drummer Kaspar Rast, 6-string bassist Björn Meyer, percussionist Andi Pupato, and reedsman, Sha. Imagine an aural geometrical kaleidoscope upon which multiple layers synchronously rotate and morph in a subtle, albeit complex dance. James Brown jamming with Steve Reich, perhaps? Throughout, Meyer and Rast comprise the unerring gyroscopic motor driving Bärtsch's tightly knit compositions, providing Bärtsch and company interspersed space in which to amble. Bärtsch's piano is the axle, as he double-handedly plays contrasting, interlocking patterns in real time, often punctuated by Sha's woodwinds (bass clarinet and tenor saxophone) accents. Repeated listen reveals more depth and complexity with each go around. Very well done!"

New Metal Leader is the debut album recorded by guitarist Ross "the Boss" Friedman and his German band under the moniker, "The Ross the Boss Band". It was released on August 22, 2008 on Candlelight records in the US and A.F.M. Records in Europe.

## Background

While the band is called, "Ross the Boss", Friedman has stated that "It is a real band with each member having his share of the whole." When asked about the meaning of the title "New Metal Leader", Friedman said "There are several reasons why I chose the title. People do consider me a leader in metal. It is a metal record. And I may not be new, but my band certainly is. The last thing I did [in the same musical vein as "New Metal Leader"] was [the Manowar album] Kings of Metal. The title of this new record had to be in the same realm; it had to have the same sick sense of humor."
