Вокалист EXODUS Steve "Zetro" Souza сказал, что болезнь Gary Holt'a повлияла на работу группы над новым альбомом:

«По состоянию на текущий момент мы все вместе работаем где-то месяц. У Gary полно риффов, и многое ещё нужно собрать воедино. Всё начинается с него и Tom'a обычно. Все знают, что сначала барабаны и гитара — так всегда поступали EXODUS. Но из-за всего этого дистанцирования всё сделать просто нереально, так что работа несколько подпорчена. Но я могу гарантировать вам, что то, что я слышал на саундчеке, когда они играли перед шоу в рамках "The Bay Strikes Back", очень порадует фанатов EXODUS. Ещё раз скажу: я не слышал целых песен — я слышал лишь риффы и фрагменты — и я такой: "Вау!" Это просто охренеть как тяжело!» #Exodus #ThrashMetal #Thrash_Metal

Самый распространенный размер экрана обычного электронного ридера - 6 дюймов. Такой размер позволяет достаточно комфортно читать художественную литературу, да и носить с собой ридер подобного размера удобно, он много места не занимает. Однако если у человека не слишком хорошее зрение, то подобный экран для него будет маловат: конечно, никто не мешает увеличить шрифт, но на небольшом экране крупным шрифтом будет мало что помещаться, замучаешься странички листать.

I'm getting so very tired of safety/accident researchers claiming that root cause analysis is an invalid, blame-focused practice that ignores systems and complexity. Most root cause investigators that I know are pretty well oriented towards process, organization, and system issues as the fundamental sources underlying problems and accidents... and even some of our simplest analysis […]

My previous post about root causes in complex systems, in retrospect, looks a little bit like a rant. That doesn't bother me too much, really... but I wish I had included the following info: it is one way to go about resolving the mess that complex systems can make of your root cause analysis. Basically, when […]
