The Clock (2010 Film)
''The Clock'' is an art installation by video artist Christian Marclay. It is a looped 24-hour video supercut (montage of scenes from film and television) that feature clocks or timepieces. The artwork itself functions as a clock: its presentation is synchronized with the local time, resulting in the time shown in a scene being the actual time. Marclay developed the idea for ''The Clock'' while working on his 2005 piece ''Screen Play''. With the support of the London-based White Cube gallery, he assembled a team to find footage, which he edited together over the course of three years. Marclay debuted ''The Clock'' at White Cube's London gallery in 2010. The work garnered critical praise, winning the Golden Lion at the 2011 Venice Biennale. Its six editions were purchased by major museums, allowing it to attract a widespread following. Content After midnight, characters go to bars and drink. Some seek intimacy while others are angry to have been awakened by the phone. In the e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Clock (patience)
The Clock, sometimes also called German Clock to distinguish it from the similarly named shuttling game of Clock, is a game of patience or card solitaire played with 52 cards of a French deck. The game has 13 foundations for placing cards, each with a specific card value corresponding to the 12 hours of a clock. Four layers of cards in alternating colours are built on each foundation. Rules One French deck of 52 cards, without the Jokers, is used. All the Aces will be placed at the 1 o'clock position of an imaginary clock, all the Queens at 12 o'clock, and all the Kings in the centre. In the accompanying image from a software implementation of this game, both the stock and waste are inside the Clock; when playing the game with a real deck, you would hold the stock in your hand and put the waste outside the Clock. The foundation base suit is determined by the first card drawn and played. Cards are then drawn one by one from the stock. Foundations are built by alternating colo ...

The Clocks
''The Clocks'' is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 7 November 1963 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. It features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The UK edition retailed at sixteen shillings (16/-) and the US edition at $4.50. In the novel Poirot never visits any of the crime scenes or speaks to any of the witnesses or suspects. He is challenged to prove his claim that a crime can be solved by the exercise of the intellect alone. The novel marks the return of partial first-person narrative, a technique that Christie had largely abandoned earlier in the Poirot sequence but which she had employed in the previous Ariadne Oliver novel, ''The Pale Horse'' (1961). There are two interwoven plots: the mystery Poirot works on from his armchair while the police work on the spot, and a Cold War spy story told in the first person narrative.

Symphony No
A symphony is an extended musical composition in Western classical music, most often for orchestra. Although the term has had many meanings from its origins in the ancient Greek era, by the late 18th century the word had taken on the meaning common today: a work usually consisting of multiple distinct sections or movements, often four, with the first movement in sonata form. Symphonies are almost always scored for an orchestra consisting of a string section (violin, viola, cello, and double bass), brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments which altogether number about 30 to 100 musicians. Symphonies are notated in a musical score, which contains all the instrument parts. Orchestral musicians play from parts which contain just the notated music for their own instrument. Some symphonies also contain vocal parts (e.g., Beethoven's Ninth Symphony). Etymology and origins The word ''symphony'' is derived from the Greek word (), meaning "agreement or concord of sound", "concert of ...
