Intended to better facilitate the informal exchange of ideas and experiences between professionals, the Curatorial Hub provides a flexible and discursive space for artist and curator talks, film screenings, panel discussions, performative events, reading sessions, and training programs. It also houses the ICI Curatorial Library of periodicals and books from institutions all over the world.
As ICI's first expansion in nearly three decades, the premises were conceived as a flexible and modular work environment that will adjust to a changing and evolving field.
Events in the Curatorial Hub are announced throughout the year, click here to see our upcoming schedule.
ICI organizes public programs in New York, at the Curatorial Hub, across the U.S., and around the world that provide a platform for curators to share their research and experiences with the public. Through partnerships with a range of institutions, ICI enables curators and new audiences as alike to understand and navigate the rapidly growing field of curating, while also increasing access to current developments in contemporary art internationally.
The Curator's Perspective series is a free, itinerant public discussion series ICI developed as a way for international curators to share their interests and experiences with audiences in New York. Talks provide an opportunity to access information about a wide variety of international perspectives on art today. Invited curators discuss art, culture, and the exhibitions in which they are most interested at the moment, as well as the artists and the sociopolitical contexts that are shaping curatorial practice now.
Exhibition Related events are organized by ICI collaborators -- curators, artists, and art spaces around the world, in conjunction with ICI's exhibitions. ICI also regularly organizes events that delve into a specific ICI exhibition, at the Curatorial Hub or elsewhere in the city, as a way of bringing some of the developments of these traveling projects closer to our New York audience.
ICI organizes events for current and upcoming ICI publications, ranging from launches to series of conversations with authors, curators and critics. These events generate a broader content from a publication, which often is transcribed and made available as an online publication. In 2012, ICI began a two-year international series of conversations with prominent curators and author Terry Smith, around his best-selling book Thinking Contemporary Curating. The tour became part of Smith's ongoing research for a second volume to his study of curating today.
Every year, ICI participates in art fairs, such as NADA in Miami and New York or EXPO in Chicago; and in book fairs, such as the New York Art Book Fair; as well as other special events in New York and around the world.
In recognition to the generous contributions of many visionary individuals who support the organization and its programs, ICI organizes exclusive events and dinners for its patrons. Among those, ICI Conversations are thought-provoking events that give exclusive access to the people – artists, curators, critics, collectors, and museum directors – who influence contemporary art today, while bringing our patrons an insider's perspective on ICI.
ICI's Curatorial Intensive program was established in 2010 as the world's first short-course, low-cost training program for curators. The Curatorial Intensive offers a group of curators the chance to develop project ideas and make connections with professionals in the field. It also provides the invaluable opportunity for peer-group education, forging new networks internationally. The Curatorial Intensives take place annually in the U.S., and in other locations in conjunction with institutional partners worldwide.
Curatorial Intensive Symposia is an ICI event series that occurs at the end of each Intensive, which gives participants the opportunity to present their proposals developed through the program.
Last year alone, 10 ICI exhibitions were presented by 37 venues in 19 countries. Every ICI exhibition is an occasion for curatorial collaboration, which allows each project to better respond to the local context, and serves as an opportunity to connect to regional and international networks. With a wide range of exhibitions, ICI is able to collaborate with art spaces big and small, everywhere. ICI exhibitions reflect crucial developments in the field of contemporary art, and a diversity of artistic voices; many champion the work of under-represented artists and others generate new content every time they are presented. Click here to view current and past exhibitions.
"Research at ICI" provides an in-depth look at curatorial practices today through resources and materials for curatorial research, articles and writings published in our online journal, which offers unique perspectives in curating. The Media Room provides access to audio and video files of ICI's programs, and information on ICI Research Fellowships and Fellows.
The Sourcebook series is dedicated to contemporary artists' personal perspectives on social, political, and cultural issues. Each book, edited by a single artist, includes a collection of primary research materials and influences, such as rare archival documents, artwork studies, and excerpts of landmark publications, selected from the artist's own archive and annotated with personal commentary. The Sourcebook series follows the development of an artist's oeuvre through the very material that inspires and influences it. Each book is a catalyst to further understand contemporary artistic practice, particularly by artists who challenge conventional art histories while contributing to its development.
Developed and published by ICI in 2012, the Perspectives in Curating series provides sustain analysis on topics that are pressing for curators today, and offers timely reflections by curators, art historians, critics, and artists on emergent debates in curatorial practice around the world. The first publication in the series was the best-seller Thinking Contemporary Curating by Terry Smith. The precedent for this series was the 2001 publication Words of Wisdom: A Curator's Vade Mecum on Contemporary Art, ICI's first book on curatorial practice.
Since 1990, ICI has commissioned artists to produce limited edition artworks to support its innovative programs and publications. Available editions include works by Liz Glynn, Marina Abramović, Stephen Kaltenbach, Laurie Simmons, among others.


This is part two of a three-part series on written description requirements and the developing case law under the America Invents Act (AIA).
The previous post in this series introduced the potential litigation hurdle – or, opportunity, depending on one's perspective – involving the requirement that a "parent" patent application must satisfy the written description requirement with respect to claims of a later-filed "child" application. While this requirement is well established under U.S. patent law, the interaction between the written description requirement and the AIA is a new wrinkle.

Q: d3.js: Is it possible to line transition by key instead of index? I have data arrays of varying length, with an x value (Years) that is part of a finite number of years, e.g.:
var data = [{Year: 2008, Value: 5}, {Year: 2009, Value: 6}]

or
var data = [{Year: 2007, Value: 8}, {Year: 2009, Value: 10}, {Year: 2010, Value: 11}]

Right now, if I transition from the data set that has more values to the one that has less, the (2007, 8) point gets interpolated to (2008, 5), and it just looks weird. What I want is to interpolate by key (Year in this case).
I understood quite simply how to do it with bar charts with the following tutorial, which simply passes a key function to selection.data in order to bind by key instead of index.
In the case of a line though, you can't seem to be able to pass a key function since the data that you pass must be an array of arrays (The datums are an array of points).
How do you get a similar result when you work with line charts?

A: This depends on the line generator you use. In short, there's no easy way to do this. Here are a few options.

*

*Adjust the scale of the graph as well. This will make the transition look less weird.

*Partition your line into several segments. This way, you can remove one of the segments without affecting the other ones. This may not work depending on what interpolation etc you use.

*Add dummy elements to pad your data array to always be the same length. May not be suitable depending on your application, as parts of the line would still be drawn for the dummy elements.

It depends entirely on your application which option is most suitable (or there may be another). I would probably try the first one first, as it is easy to implement.

My aunt is from Okinawa, and I've always wanted to visit her. She married my uncle and came to America before I was born. The house they lived in was built according to Japanese style. I remmeber how important it was to take our shoes off and put on the slippers before we entered the main house.
I agree with you, Joel, for checking the one of our bucket lists to play with snow monkeys!
Very interesting! Thank you for posting this! We have a few articles online JapanTourist as well but to see it in video is much better!
Thank you, Joel! I visited Japan back in 1999 for two weeks. Besides Tokyo, I went to Kyoto and Hiroshima. I regretted not visiting up north to see snow monkeys.
Keep up great work, Joel!
This is such a fun and educational post. It is nice to see ASL used half a world away and see many cultures merge.
Food looked good u and friends ate at hotel/restaurant with wonderful traditional Japanese cultural. Monkeys are beautiful with red face and fluffy hair. Seem monkeys won't allow anyone to pet.

Federal Prosecutors May Investigate Trump For His Role In The Storming Of The Capitol
"We're looking at all actors," acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin for the District of Columbia said.
By Salvador Hernandez
Salvador Hernandez BuzzFeed News Reporter
President Donald Trump could face an investigation for his role in inciting a violent group of supporters to stage an attempted coup at the Capitol in order to stop Congress from cementing his electoral loss, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
"We're looking at all actors," acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin for the District of Columbia said when asked if the Department of Justice would be looking into the president's incendiary speech, in which he urged supporters to march on the Capitol. "Anyone who had a role and the events fit the elements of a crime, they're going to be charged."
A mob of the president's supporters rushed past police officers and forced their way into the Capitol, prompting the evacuation of lawmakers just as they were certifying President-elect Joe Biden's presidential victory.
For weeks, Trump had encouraged the rioters to head to the Capitol for what typically a ceremonious event, lying that Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to not certify the electoral count in an effort to overturn the election results.
Moments before the violence broke out, Trump addressed the supporters, telling them to "fight like hell" and encouraging them to head down Pennsylvania Avenue in a show of force to persuade legislators to stop the election certification.
What ensued was a historic assault on the Capitol as the mob broke through doors and ransacked the offices of members of Congress.
Sherwin said some of the rioters were carrying weapons and stole items from inside the building. One of the women who rushed into the building was shot and killed by Capitol Police.

In a call with reporters, Sherwin said the DOJ had been working with law enforcement partners in preparation for the protest and, in the past 36 hours had filed 55 criminal cases in connection with the ensuing violence and vandalism.
Fifteen of those cases were directly tied to the storming of the building and filed in federal court Thursday, Sherwin said. The charges included unlawful entry, weapons possession, and theft of property.
"There was a large amount of pilfering in the Capitol," Sherwin said. "Materials were stolen from the offices and those will be delineated in the charges."
The DOJ expects to pursue charges against more people involved in the deadly insurrection on Wednesday, adding that Trump could be considered in the investigation.
Even after the insurrection, Trump continued to justify the violent actions of his supporters, telling them in a video, "We love you. You're very special." The video and subsequent tweets were later removed by Twitter because the president continued to spread lies about his election loss.
Sherwin added that the decision by Capitol Police not to detain people who had broken into the federal building made their job more difficult.
"It appears hundreds of people flooded the Capitol, and hundreds egressed and were not zip-tied by Capitol Police," Sherwin said. "The scenario has made our job difficult."

Although no specific reasons for the delay have been pinpointed, ProIT notes that several changes of key regulatory staff have occurred very recently. In particular, the appointment of a new general director at the Ukrainian State Centre of Radio Frequencies (UCRF), Valentine Reznichenko, was confirmed at a meeting of the NCCIR on 14 August. In an earlier release on the UCRF website, Mr Reznichenko was presented to the NCCIR and UCRF as the new director of the auxiliary frequencies authority on 4 August. At his inauguration, Reznichenko pledged to successfully work through the 'complex' and 'very significant' problems facing the regulatory team, among the most important being the implementation of the Presidential Decree on 3G licensing ('On ensuring the conditions for the implementation of modern telecommunications technologies'). Earlier that day, the previous head of the UCRF, Paul Slobodyanyuk, officially stepped down. Furthermore, ProIT reported earlier that on 28 July 2014 the head of the NCCIR, Andrei Sementchenko, was removed from the post under presidential orders, with Alexander Givotovsky instated as the new NCCIR leader. Simultaneously, six other NCCIR members were replaced.

Благоговение перед жизнью () — принцип этического учения Альберта Швейцера, немецкого философа-гуманиста, лауреата Нобелевской премии мира.

Суть данного принципа — «выказывать равное благоговение перед жизнью как по отношению к моей воле к жизни, так и по отношению к любой другой». Принцип благоговения перед жизнью, по мысли автора, передает сущность этического точнее, чем сострадание или даже любовь, так как соединяет самосовершенствование с самоотречением и утверждает беспокойство постоянной ответственности.

Этот принцип был сформулирован Швейцером во время его путешествия по африканской реке Огове и впервые изложен в 1915 году в книге «Культура и этика», а впоследствии постоянно упоминался и в других работах философа: «Проблема этического в развитии человеческого мышления», «Гуманность», «Учение о Благоговении перед жизнью». Благоговение перед жизнью — больше, чем основной принцип нравственности, он по сути дела является её единственным принципом, так как задаёт программу жизни индивидов в форме прямых действий, не требующих никаких конкретизирующих норм и промежуточных этических инстанций.

Little Mix's new video for "Woman Like Me," featuring Nicki Minaj, has arrived.
Here's the first taste of the girl group's fifth studio album.
It's titled "Woman Like Me," a fiery, guilty pleasure pop banger (co-penned by Ed Sheeran and Jess Glynn) that finds the women boasting a vulnerable, yet unapologetic confidence.
Nicki is low-key rubbing me the wrong way with all of the Cardi shade as of late, but there's no denying her talent is immense (I know that's the point she's constantly trying to make, so I made it) – her feature on the track is no exception.
There's also a video for the track out now. The ladies play into ideals of how proper women should be – they balance books on their heads, clean and eat politely, but the etiquette quickly vanishes in the scenes where they straddle chairs and serve lewks. Nicki Minaj makes a cameo as a painting on the wall. A choice.
Huge lead single for Little Mix!

Kosher → Tellicherry Peppercorns
Tellicherry Peppercorns
Unfortunately, this item is out of stock. Based on the latest update from our supplier, we expect this to be back in stock by the end of December.
Tellicherry Pepper
Tellicherry Pepper (pronounced "the-luh-cheh-ree), Piper nigrum, is also called Tellicherry peppercorns, Tellicherry, or Tellicherry black pepper.
Tellicherry Pepper has 1% - 2.6% essential oil.
What is Tellicherry Pepper
Tellicherry Pepper is believed by many pepper aficionados to be the best black pepper that you can get, these connoisseurs refer to them as simply Tellicherry. Named after a port on the Northern end of India's Malabar coast, in the beginning, the Tellicherry peppercorn had the reputation for being truly superior in both the size of the peppercorn and the quality of the taste. However, now the term Tellicherry is used more as a designation to the quality grade of peppercorn.
Peppercorns from India are typically categorized by their place of origin. Two types come from India's Malabar Coast: Malabar and Tellicherry. Tellicherry comes from grafted Malabar plants grown in or around Thalassery (pronounced "tha-lasse-ry"), formerly Tellicherry, located on the Malabar Coast in the state of Kerala, India. While a single Malabar pepper plant can produce both types of peppercorns, Tellicherry peppercorns differ from Malabar peppercorns as the Tellicherry berries are left to ripen on the vines longer, which allows for a larger berry and fuller flavor to develop. Peppercorn farmers must be very experienced in order to manage the tricky balancing act involved that allows for a complete development in the flavor and size of the Tellicherry berries on the vine without allowing sugar content to rise to where losses will occur from spoiling. The result of this expertise is a slightly larger peppercorn that has a little less pungent flavor, but a more deeply rich and complex pepper flavor and aroma.
There are 3 quality Grades of Tellicherry Pepper. Tellicherry Garbled (TG) which are 4.00mm in size, with a 12% moisture content; Tellicherry Garbled Extra Bold (TGEB) which are 4.25mm, with 10% moisture content; and Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold (TGSEB) which are 4.75mm, with 7% moisture content. The Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold is less than 10% of the total available Tellicherry grades, is considered the highest grade and is the most expensive.
We carry the Tellicherry Garbled Extra Bold (TGEB).
History of Peppercorns
Black pepper has been known in Indian cooking since at least 2000 BC, with early trade routes popping up between Kerala and traders from the Middle East by at least 1000 BC. Peppercorns were included in Egyptian mummification ceremonies, including that of King Ramses II (reigned 1279–1213 BC). By 100 BC, peppercorns were being traded into China, where the wealthy preferred it over their native Sichuan pepper.
Ancient Rome also highly valued piper nigrum, even using it as currency. But pepper's popularity in Rome would eventually fade with the introduction of Long Pepper, a genetic cousin of piper nigrum (and also from India).
With the fall of the Roman Empire (476 AD), Muslims acquired tremendous influence and control along the Silk Road. When Venice and Genoa merchants signed spice trade treaties with the Muslims this monopoly again drove up peppercorn's value in Europe.
Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama arrived by ship in Calicut, India in 1498 and was not welcomed warmly by the Muslim traders there. The opening of this sea route would eventually bring an onslaught of competitors and by the 1700s the demand for pepper had continued to rise, but the increased supply lowered prices which allowed more and more Europeans to buy pepper.
Tellicherry Peppercorn Cultivation
Peppercorn plants can be grown through cuttings or seeds, but usually cuttings are used. The vines take about three years to mature enough to produce peppercorns. After the vines have matured and begin producing fruit, they will continue to do so for about fifteen to twenty years, but some may continue for even longer than that. Vines are frequently wrapped around poles to encourage upward growth. The plants may reach up to 25 feet tall if properly cared for. This style of upward growing saves space for more vines to be grown in a smaller space and helps the peppercorns get even sunlight exposure.
The plant requires a long rainy season, fairly high temperatures, and they do best in soils rich in organic material. Peppercorns in general are very sensitive to the sun so they need some protection from the direct rays, they are typically protected with coconut fronds or shade cloth on especially intense days.
The berries are harvested when fully ripe (orange to red in color) and the berries must be picked by hand. The fruits are then cleaned (separated from debris such as leaves, stems, dirt, and small stones), boiled for about 10 minutes and then spread out on mats or plastics under bright sunlight for 2 days, to dry. Depending on the weather, drying may also be done by solar or mechanical dryers. The drying process gives berries the wrinkled look and black color. Once dried, the peppercorns are taken to a sorting facility where they are run through a series of screens to sort them according to size.
Where is Our Tellicherry Peppercorns From
What does Tellicherry Pepper Taste Like
Slow burn, citrusy, and grassy with hints of cedar, cherries and juniper. These are not as intense as most black peppercorns.
What Is the Best Black Pepper in the World
Over the years we're tried peppercorns from Brazil, India (Malabar and Tellicherry), Indonesia (Lampong Peppercorns), and Vietnam. We tend to lean toward Tellicherry as the best in the world. Tellicherry peppercorns have two defining characteristics. First, they are 4-4.75 millimeters in size. And second, larger peppercorns tend to have less heat with more aromatic, full-bodied flavor.
Malabar Peppercorns are our 2nd choice. They have a slightly greenish hue, and while they come from the same area as Tellicherry, but they're picked earlier, so they're not as mature and they are a bit more pungent in flavor.
Lampong Peppercorns are small and grayish in color, very pungent but not as aromatic as Tellicherry or Malabar pepper. Brazilian and Vietnamese peppercorns are both less robust in flavor and have less aroma that Tellicherry or Malabar pepper.
What is Tellicherry Pepper Good For
Use Black Tellicherry Peppercorns as you would regular black pepper. Make it a basic rub for roast chicken, or coat steak with this peppercorn, coarsely ground, for an unforgettable au poivre. This is a welcome addition to any hollandaise sauce, and will make roasted vegetables like cauliflower sing.
1/4 cup Black Tellicherry Peppercorns = approximately 1 oz. ground peppercorns.
What can be Used Instead of Tellicherry Pepper
Black Peppercorns can be substituted for one another, so you can use the Malabar Peppercorns in place of the Tellicherry at a 1:1 ratio.

a position to understand the action of the Government, would, of course, regard the charges above referred to as absurd, but the incident serves to show how difficult it is to deal with such a matter to the satisfaction of all classes of the community. The use of the Bible as a textbook rests very largely with the various religious bodies and when they, or a large majority of their members, are united in their recommendation to the Government, we may expect to see this most desirable change in our school regulations. Viewed as literature merely, the authorized version of the scriptures is a well of English undefiled, a storehouse of wisdom and experience, a marvellous record of great deeds, sounding notes of the loftiest patriotism and high and heroic endeavour, containing poetry which has never been equalled in any tongue, holding up constant warnings against the consequences of national and individual wrong-doing, all clothed in English that cannot be surpassed. It.should be a cause of bewilderment and surprise that such a book should be excluded from the curriculum of any educational system.


Planning a wedding can be unbelievably stressful, even for someone who has experience. Becoming educated on weddings can help ease some of these stresses. The following article will provide you with advice to make the whole wedding process easier.
If you decide to cater your own wedding party, go to the big wholesale stores, like Costco. If you shop at a wholesale store, you will get much more for your dollar than the regular supermarket. Ask friends to help on food, too.
Once you have decided on who is to make the speeches on your big day, plan to have a speech rehearsal. This way, you are aware of what your chosen speakers intend to say and also sure any comments stay appropriate to the event. Generally, many generations attend a wedding, so a joke that's funny to young people may not be to the elders.
The single most important factor when you are getting married is also the most obvious, your choice in bride or groom. Don't rush into this decision. Give this person's habits and peccadilloes a great deal of consideration.
A relative or friend can serve as your assistant, as often the only requirement for the job is being able to haul your gear. They can also help you track down family members, and get them together for group photographs.
Make sure the lights at your reception venue have dimmer switches. This may seem minor, but lighting is important to setting the mood and dimmed lights are preferable for your first dance. Discuss this with the venues you're considering before making your final choice.
Centerpieces on the tables at your wedding can really set you back from a budget and aesthetic perspective. Rather than spending a fortune on centerpieces that are almost as big as the tables themselves, keep them small and simple. It won't block the conversation of your guests, will save you some money and yet will still look amazing in your photographs.
The information you just learned simplifies the wedding planning process, so there's no longer any need to be stressed. Keep these tips in mind so that you can plan your wedding easier.

TrueCrypt é um aplicativo descontinuado de código aberto para Windows, Mac e Linux, usado para criar discos criptografados que podem ser montados como unidades virtuais. Esta aplicação era capaz de criar discos virtuais encriptados (mesmo em Flashdrives USB) como se de um disco real se tratasse. Podia encriptar uma partição do seu disco rígido ou um outro dispositivo de armazenamento como um flash drive USB.

Encriptava automaticamente em tempo real (on-the-fly) de uma forma "transparente". Possibilitava dois níveis de proteção. Caso seja obrigado a revelar a senha, haveria uma segunda proteção na qual o acesso aos dados estará preservado.

Algoritmos de criptografia
Algoritmos individuais suportados pelo TrueCrypt são AES, Serpent e Twofish. Adicionalmente, cinco diferentes combinações de algoritmos cascata estão disponíveis: AES-Twofish, AES-Twofish-Serpent, Serpent-AES, Serpent-Twofish-AES e Twofish-Serpent. Usa RIPEMD-160, SHA-512 e Whirlpool como funções de hashing.

Descontinuação
Em 28 de maio de 2014, o website oficial do TrueCrypt anunciou que o projeto não seria mais mantido pelos seus desenvolvedores, e recomendou que seus usuários migrassem para outro aplicativo suportado em seu sistema operacional, pois havia brechas de segurança não resolvidas. Na ocasião, foram levantadas suspeitas quanto à intervenção do Governo dos Estados Unidos no projeto.

Atualmente, a página avisa que o programa não pode mais ser considerado seguro, e recomenda passo-a-passo a migração dos dados. É possível criar discos virtuais no Windows usando arquivos do tipo .VHD (ou .VHDX para Windows 8 ou superior) e depois ligá-los ao BitLocker, tecnologia nativa do Windows que permite encriptar e definir uma senha para acesso à unidade.

Reviewed by Dustin Putman, May 14, 2008.
A too-bland-for-comfort sequel to 2005's "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is the second in a proposed seven-picture series from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media (each one based on the classic children's books by C.S. Lewis). If the studio hopes to earn enough profits to see this franchise complete, they'd better bring more verve and vigor to the impending installments than they do to this distaff entry. In depicting the further adventures of four siblings in WWII-era England who are whisked off to the fantastical land of Narnia, what once felt both magical and foreboding now seems rather dreary and perfunctory.
It has been exactly one year since Lucy (Georgie Henley), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), Susan (Anna Popplewell) and Peter Pevensie (William Moseley) returned from their visit to Narnia, where they helped to defeat the White Witch's icy rule over the land and were subsequently anointed as honorary kings and queens. While awaiting the train that is to take them back to school, the platform they are on suddenly transports them back to Narnia. Something is amiss, though, and it doesn't take the four kids long to discover that 1,300 years have passed and the crumbling artifacts surrounding them are but a forlorn trace of what once was.
Enter Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), whose treacherous uncle, King Miraz (Sergio Castellito), now wants him dead so that his own newborn son can be heir to the throne. Narrowly escaping with his life and having blown the horn that has summoned the Pevensies back to Narnia, Caspian soon teams up with Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter. Together they prepare to overthrow King Miraz and once again bring peace to the men and creatures who have been marginalized by his reign.
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" brings back much of the same cast and crew of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," including writer-director Andrew Adamson (2004's "Shrek 2"), co-writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, luminous music composer Harry Gregson-Williams (2007's "Gone Baby Gone"), and actors Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley and Anna Popplewell as the brave young Pevensie siblings. The film itself, however, more often than not is but a pale version of the previous film. The first half is slow and meandering, with the Pevensies awkwardly wandering around with little of note to say or do and the scenes involving standard-issue villain King Miraz downright dull. The storyline lacks inspiration because the most pivotal character, Prince Caspian, is played by Ben Barnes (2007's "Stardust"), who has so little charisma that a piece of driftwood might as well have been cast in the role. Director Andrew Adamson never gives the viewer a reason to care about him or his fate. The visuals, too, are nothing compared to the snowscapes of its predecessor; the sets now resemble something out of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
There are a few isolated moments of effectiveness in the opening hour, such as a scene where the Pevensies find old wall markings of themselves and friends, like faun Mr. Tumnus, who have since passed on. Things do not really pick up until a well-paced set-piece where the Narnians ambush King Miraz's fortress by foot, horse and air. With this sequence, the film builds upon the grandeur it should have had all along, and leads toward a dazzling climax. Showcasing a taut sword fight between Peter and King Miraz that culminates in some surprising developments, followed by multiple grand-scale battles involving warrior trees, a water-made savior, and the appearance of Messiah-like lion Aslan, the third act almost wins enough points to make the lugubrious material that came before it palatable. The final wrap-up scenes are also nicely done as they hint at things to come in the third film, but it's all just a tad too late to forgive the picture's missteps.
Once the lead character, mischief-eyed little Lucy Pevensie has now been downgraded to a virtual side player who sits out on all of the action scenes and battles while her older brothers and sister fight alongside the Narnians. That's a shame, because Georgie Henley showed great promise in the part in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," and it would have been nice to see her come into own here since she's a few years older. Lucy and the rest of the Pevensies—Skandar Keynes as rebellious Edmund, William Moseley as leader Peter, and Anna Popplewell as the sensible Susan—do not have the same deeply-felt bond here, and mostly just shout out timeworn cries while raising swords and arrows. There are only so many times they can yell out, "For Narnia!" or "For Aslan!" and still keep it sounding fresh. The actors look bored, and this goes double for Peter Dinklage (2007's "Underdog"), who, as tough but tender-hearted dwarf Trumpkin, looks like he'd rather be anywhere but in front of the camera.
There is a scene in "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" where the spirit of the White Witch (Tilda Swinton) is summoned in a block of ice and tries to break free. It is chilling in its suggestion of what might have been, if only because the film is in such dire need of a threatening and memorable villain to spruce things up. King Miraz ultimately doesn't cut it, and neither does a screenplay that tries and fails to give the story and characters energy and life. As is, "Prince Caspian" only intermittently entertains. The rest of the time it just leaves the viewer cold.

DHS report: Open-source code "quality" is up
Jim Carr May 20, 2008
A U.S. Department of Homeland Security-sponsored project has not only discovered that the quality of open source software code has improved significantly over the past two years, it has debunked a widely held assumption that longer function strings within source code are associated with an increased number of code defects.
The findings come as part of an ongoing three-year, $300,000 project between the DHS and source-code analysis vendor Coverity designed to help open-source software developers find and fix vulnerabilities in their projects. To date, the project has analyzed more than 55 million lines of code from more than 250 open source projects.
One of the notable conclusions from the scanning project was the 16 percent average drop in the number, or density, of defects detected in open-source projects, David Maxwell, Coverity's open-source strategist, told SCMagazineUS.com. While the initial average static analysis in defect density in 2006 was 0.30, or roughly one defect per 3,333 lines of code, the current scan shows a 0.25 rate, or roughly one defect per 4,000 lines of code.
Another point was the debunking of programmers' long-held assumption that writing longer functions, or code strings, just naturally leads to a greater number of defects.
"We found those to not be correlated," Maxwell said. "That goes against common expectations. A lot of programmers feel that longer functions contain more defects not only because it's more lines of code, but because it's more difficult to write good code as functions become longer. That seems to not be the case, and contradicts popular beliefs."
The project deflated yet another theory, as well: the bigger the software development project, the higher proportion of coding errors it contains.
"Another interesting comparison was the relationship between code base size [the number of lines of code] and the number of defects identified," Maxwell said. "We found there's almost a 72 percent correlation between those numbers."
He said bigger projects contain more defects, but many programmers believe that as a project gets larger, the rate of defects increases -- that size not only introduces more defects, but they'll be introduced exponentially.
"Our analysis, however, shows the growth appears to be linear," Maxwell said.
The most common type of code defect among the 13 billion combined lines of code analyzed so far are null-point references, which made up 28 percent of those found. Resource leaks comprised 26 percent.
Both could cause security vulnerabilities in an open-source project, Maxwell said. They could cause an application to crash or a denial-of-service attack, among other problems.
Conversely, dynamic buffer overruns and unsafe use of negative values made up a mere 0.3 and 0.2 percent of the defects uncovered.
Coverity uses its Prevent static-analysis software to analyze the source code of each program in the project.

Tutorials today at the same time as the art exchange. I bought something experimental coming from a desire for my work to be more dialogical and contemplative. The rooms are always full and buzzing for art exchange and this was no exception. It was possibly the wrong environment to do something very new in my work but I wanted to see how it would go. I have been making paintings for people to walk on as an experiment in anxiety. I was hoping that the connection between the anxiety about walking on the paintings and the anxiety we feel about the sea plastic would be made. For some it was perhaps... more so for people who saw my posts on Instagram. The second part of what I have brought was to ask people to add a piece of plastic to a hanging as an act of contemplation about their own use of the planet and plastic in particular.
The outcomes we're messy. I had printed signs to give instructions about how to move from one area to the next but these "texts" were ill considered and the results clunky to say the least. There were too many elements for this event and it was too confusing to present this as the work for my tutorial. I was excited about having produced painting and had so enjoyed working in paint but the idea that I was trying to get a cross was not clear. Good job this is Year one! I am not convinced that I would have bought this work to a more formal tutorial setting. Hard not to feel a bit deflated though all that was said was fair and true. Having someone else see things you have missed is vital to growth and there is no progress without failures.
It's messy and too much. I need to refine my craft.

Home Championship From Portugal: More details on West Ham's chase for striker, clarifies transfer...
From Portugal: More details on West Ham's chase for striker, clarifies transfer situation
Earlier today, we covered a confusing story from A Bola which said Moussa Marega could be leaving Porto to join West Ham in a €40m deal.
The newspaper made it clear that the striker is leaving the Dragons, but didn't show any conviction when talking about the Hammers.
Now it turns out that local Porto newspaper O Jogo brings a similar story which sounds a lot better to understand the situation.
The outlet claims that Porto did receive a €30m bid from an English club for Marega. But they also make it clear they are not sure of who this club are, and the Dragons are waiting for the offer to be improved.
O Jogo recalls Marega's wish to leave for West Ham last summer, and says the Hammers still have the player's preference. And given the news from England saying the London side still want the striker, the newspaper says this bid 'could be coming from them'.
However, they also recall rumours which say that Swansea City and Everton are also keen on the striker, and that's why it's claimed there are 'several' British sides who could be going for the 28-year-old.
He's clearly not going to Swansea, that much is certain. The link will be from old claims when the Welsh club were in the Premier League.
O Jogo says Porto haven't decided about Marega's future yet, but it will be hard to hold him, even for a bid of a little less than his €40m release clause.
So with A Bola saying the player is 'sold' and O Jogo being more careful, it depends on your excitement to believe who's telling the truth.
Previous articlePlayer 'sold' for €40m, West Ham named as 'most likely destination'
Next article'Suspicions' at club that player is off – Man City looks likeliest – Exit plan already in place

Q: Acessar todas as configurações do arquivo .env alguém sabe como posso acessar todos os dados que estão no arquivo .env?, preciso trazer todos os dados como um array, já usei a função helper env(), sem sucesso, preciso de algo como o exemplo abaixo.
$dadosConn = [
'driver' => 'postgres',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'host' => '',
'database' => '',
'port' => ''];

A: Bem,  na verdade, você poderia resolver o problema usando o recurso interno usado pelo Laravel 5. Trata-se de uma biblioteca (que já vem instalada no Laravel 5) chamad Dotenv.
Veja como usar:
$dot = new Dotenv\Dotenv(base_path());
dd($dot->load());

O resultado é:
array:20 [▼
  0 => "APP_ENV=local"
  1 => "APP_DEBUG=true"
  2 => "APP_KEY=PzWPA7lYetAsN9aGmHuSsdVaNh7DfCjt"
  3 => "APP_URL=http://localhost"
  4 => "DB_HOST=127.0.0.1"
  5 => "DB_DATABASE=homestead"
  6 => "DB_USERNAME=homestead"
  7 => "DB_PASSWORD=secret"
  8 => "CACHE_DRIVER=file"
  9 => "SESSION_DRIVER=file"
  10 => "QUEUE_DRIVER=sync"
  11 => "REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1"
  12 => "REDIS_PASSWORD=null"
  13 => "REDIS_PORT=6379"
  14 => "MAIL_DRIVER=smtp"
  15 => "MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io"
  16 => "MAIL_PORT=2525"
  17 => "MAIL_USERNAME=null"
  18 => "MAIL_PASSWORD=null"
  19 => "MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null"
]

As informações são retornadas dessa forma, pois as mesmas não foram feitas para ser usadas como array, e sim para serem usadas pela função getenv. O Dotenv internamente usa a função putenv, para salvar as informações do arquivo .env.

A: Você pode tentar isto:
var_dump(getenv('DB_HOST'));
var_dump(getenv('DB_DATABASE'));
var_dump(getenv('DB_USERNAME'));
var_dump(getenv('DB_PASSWORD'));

Se quiser colocar em um array ficará assim:
$dadosBanco = [
    'host'     => getenv('DB_HOST'),
    'database' => getenv('DB_DATABASE'),
    'username' => getenv('DB_USERNAME'),
    'password' => getenv('DB_PASSWORD')
];

Não trabalho muito com Laravel, mas acho você poderia configurar no arquivo config/database.php, o que seria o mais indicado. Lá você pode criar múltiplas configurações de conexão. Vai depender da necessidade.

A: No framework Laravel se você está querendo usar o valor de uma variável do arquivo .env e está retornando nulo, precisa limpar o cache de configurações com o seguinte comando abaixo:
php artisan config:clear

Assim que executar esse comando faça o teste que se a variável tiver um valor ela não vai retornar nulo.

A: Só utilizar o getenv() ele já retorna direto todos os valores em um Array. Se quiser pegar só alguns valores recomendo pegar um por vez fazendo a pesquisa no getenv({variável env}).

Locally accountable for education-led renewal
By MassINC Staff The Gateway Cities Vision, Gateway Cities Journal Jun 20, 2017 Policy Center
The fate of our Gateway Cities lies in their schools. From growing a skilled workforce to maintaining healthy neighborhoods, public education will be the deciding factor. Significant progress has been made, but a lot more needs to happen to put these school systems in a stronger position to drive economic growth and renewal. Some of this work is contingent on the state thinking much harder and more broadly about how it lives up to its constitutional obligation to ensure all students have access to a quality education. However, it's also important to recognize that much of this work simply involves these cities ambitiously reimagining what an effective public education system looks like, and making it a community-wide endeavor to achieve their visions.
Unbeknownst to the pundits, who seem to use all their ink bemoaning the fate of charter schools, Gateway Cities are stepping up and taking on this work. Haverhill is an excellent example. In all of the hoopla over the Silver Hill Charter decision, the media missed the newly formed Haverhill Education Coalition coming together to convene the community and implore local leaders to increase school spending and thoughtfully invest the proceeds in ways that are most likely to improve performance.
In April, Fitchburg unveiled a new early learning effort. The K-12 school system is taking on added responsibility to serve families with young children years before they'll ever fall under the state's accountability system. New Bedford followed suit last week with a new early literacy initiative, and for the Whalers, this effort is just a warmup drill. A coalition of independent city leaders known as the Regeneration Project recently came forward to urge the city to undertake a bold 10-year education masterplan for the community. Worcester is a step ahead. Last week, the Worcester Regional Research Bureau and the Worcester Education Collaborative announced a partnership to develop a community-wide strategy for education in their city.
It's critical that all of our Gateway Cities have visions for dynamic, community-wide learning systems, and plans to achieving success. For far too long, Gateway Cities have fretted over the state's accountability system, which is inadequate (probably in part because the state recognizes current funding levels are insufficient to expect much more). Passing the 10th grade MCAS—the state's strongest determinant of school quality—is simply not an indicator that a high school has prepared a student to succeed in college or on the job. If Gateway Cities are going to excel, they must set a higher bar, such as holding the community, not simply the schools, accountable for ensuring all students graduate with a credential of value in the workforce or prepared to move on to college and complete a degree.
Now is the time to observe Gateway Cities at the leading edge of this work. As they craft these well-intentioned strategies, how effectively they engage residents, especially parents, who play an integral role in their school communities, will provide an early indication of whether these local accountability efforts will ultimately make a difference. Like we often hear said about our reports, a strategy isn't worth the paper it is printed on if residents aren't fully bought-in, understand how they can contribute, and know how they keep tract of what's working so that they can hold themselves and others accountable for success.

La faïence de Desvres regroupe les productions des manufactures de Desvres, dans le Pas-de-Calais. La céramique de Boulogne-sur-Mer, distante d'une vingtaine de kilomètres est souvent englobée sous l'appellation Desvres.

Historique

Bien que les premières traces de poteries remontent à l'époque romaine, il faut attendre le milieu du  pour voir se développer à Desvres une industrie de la faïence. Les études géologiques du  confirment la présence de gisements importants de matière première :

En 1748, la famille de potiers Boulongne est présente à Desvres; ils y fabriquent des carreaux jusqu'en 1848. C'est la famille Level qui prendra la suite en 1850, suivi de Georges Martel, dit Géo Martel, en 1900.

En 1764, le notaire Jean-François Sta crée la première faïencerie desvroise. Elle sera reprise par Louis Alexandre Dupré en 1802. Cette faïencerie cessera son activité en 1810.

Les faïenceries Géo Martel, Masse, Gabriel Fourmaintraux ont aujourd'hui cessé leur activité mais des artisans perpétuent les traditions.

Dans les années 1990, au moment de la perte de vitesse des structures industrielles faïencières, d'anciens ouvriers ont fondé leur propre atelier. Parmi eux, Kristine et Bruno Morel, Jean-Michel Régnier qui produit des poêles en faïence ainsi que Philippe Lambert, au sein de l'atelier Phildéco.

Le développement des manufactures

La dynastie Fourmaintraux

Héritiers d'une grande lignée de faïenciers depuis Gilbert, potier à Lille, né en 1675.

En 1804 François-Joseph Fourmaintraux, ancien ouvrier de Sta, fonde une dynastie faïencière qui se scindera en trois manufactures :
 Fourmaintraux-Hornoy puis Fourmaintraux frères en 1879, puis Jules Fourmaintraux en 1887 et enfin Francis Masse en 1903,
 Fourmaintraux Courquin suivi par Charles Fourmaintraux-Houzel ensuite Fourmaintraux-Gand puis Fourmaintraux Delassus et aujourd'hui la SA Desvres.
 Emile Fourmaintraux en 1899 puis Gabriel Fourmaintraux en 1906.

Emile Fourmaintraux crée en 1899 un atelier au lieu-dit La Poterie (sortant de son association avec son frère Jules, interdiction lui est faite de fabriquer faïence et carreaux). Son fils Gabriel lance en 1905 la fabrication exclusive de porcelaine qui durera jusqu'en 1925, moment où il peut revenir à la fabrication de la faïence. Gabriel Fourmaintraux développera alors largement les pièces inspirées des styles régionaux français qui seront vendues à travers tout le territoire, et en Belgique grâce à un réseau commercial naissant.

En 1946 : Claude Fourmaintraux et Daniel Dutertre viennent épauler Gabriel, leur père et beau-père, et développent la société Fourmaintraux et Dutertre SA jusqu'en 1985-86, tant sur le plan des produits qu'à l'exportation qui représentera plus de 20 % du chiffre d'affaires (création d'un atelier de fer forgé, d'une menuiserie, modernisation de la production, création d'une vraie stratégie commerciale, diversification : décor Chaumière, produits sanitaires…). L'effectif monte à 199 personnes.

Ce sera ensuite un lent déclin de l'activité. (Le premier choc pétrolier de 1973, puis l'apparition de lois sociales défavorables aux industries manufacturières, comme l'application des 35 heures, mettront un coup d'arrêt au développement de l'entreprise).

En 1987, dans un contexte difficile, Olivier Fourmaintraux (déjà présent depuis 1971), reprend la direction de l'entreprise, épaulé bientôt par son cousin Thierry Dutertre ; ils développent des gammes de produits contemporains.

De nouvelles difficultés économiques poussent en 1993 à un regroupement avec la faïencerie Masse-artisans faïenciers, qui donnera la société Masse-Fourmaintraux (Olivier Fourmaintraux, Thierry Dutertre, Jean et Marie Muselet). Ce regroupement difficile, avec deux entreprises aux passés différents, ne résistera pas à la conjoncture et déposera le bilan 4 ans plus tard, en 1997.

Il s'ensuivra, devant le tribunal de commerce, une cession totale à Louis-Yves Delvigo. Les anciens dirigeants partiront dans les années suivantes. De nouvelles difficultés mêneront à une liquidation en 2003 ; puis à une offre de reprise par Michel Delvallée (petit fabricant d'abat-jour calaisien). La liquidation totale et définitive, avec vente des actifs, sera prononcée le 18 novembre 2009.

L'usine Gabriel Fourmaintraux est aujourd'hui le musée de la belle époque de la faïence de Desvres avec une collection de plus de  moules.

Camille Fourmaintraux, diplômée des Beaux Arts, poursuit la tradition en ayant créé un atelier dans les anciens locaux de sa famille, à Desvres, puis a déménagé en 2016 au Nord de Boulogne sur mer, au lieu dit "Le Moulin Wibert" . Elle représente la  en ligne directe dans cette branche d'activité.

Geo Martel, Jules Verlingue et Henri Delcourt

Georges Martel, dit Geo Martel reprend la faïencerie Level en 1900.

Jules Verlingue crée sa faïencerie en 1903 à Boulogne-sur-mer avec Monsieur Lagarde; d'où la marque LV sur certaines pièces. Il cède celle-ci à Henri Delcourt qui l'exploitera jusqu'en 1935. Ce dernier introduira la porcelaine après la première guerre mondiale.

Jules Verlingue reprend en 1917 la manufacture quimperoise de La Hubaudière pour reprendre la marque HB Quimper, confirmant ainsi les liens étroits qui unissent les centres faïenciers du Nord et de Bretagne.

Caractères stylistiques
La faïence de Desvres acquiert sa renommée à travers la reproduction, « fait main », de pièces et de décors des plus célèbres faïenceries (Delft, Rouen, Moustiers…).

Comme Malicorne, cette entreprise de reproduction nuit à l'apparition d'un style propre à Desvres. Seule une exubérance décorative, proche du baroque rocaille caractérise les productions locales.

Les sujets abordés, comme pour Quimper, empruntent au répertoire religieux (vierges et saintes), régionaliste (scènes de villages, paysans…) et maritime (pêcheurs et gens de la mer).

Les années art-déco marquent un tournant dans la production de Desvres, tournée jusqu'alors vers la reproduction de styles anciens. Le style graphique de Gabriel Fourmaintraux, influencé par la bande dessinée ou le dessin animé, habille les pièces de couleurs franches aux aplats soigneusement cernés. Il produira des séries inspirées de l'Afrique et une vaste gamme de pièces décoratives et d'objets publicitaires.

L'apport des créateurs
Comme à Quimper les manufactures s'entourent de créateurs. Dès 1900 Géo Martel recrute des artistes dont les plus réputés sont Achille Blot (qui expose au salon des artistes français) ou le céramiste animalier Georges Charlet qui ira ensuite travailler chez Charles Fourmaintraux à la Belle Croix. Après la première guerre, le peintre et sculpteur Giovanni Léonardi, né en Sicile, vient s'initier à la céramique chez Géo Martel, il ira ensuite à Quimper grâce à son ami Max Jacob. Edouard Manchuel et bien d'autres travaillerons pour Géo Martel.

On retrouve aussi sur des pièces de forme les noms de L. Hoüel, René Delarue ou de Vincente Gil Franco, peintre espagnol réfugié à Boulogne-sur-mer après la guerre qui produira, comme Paul Lecomte à Malicorne, de nombreuses pièces de forme sur les métiers de la mer.

Q: Не могу подключится к Django приложению, расположенному на AWS Ubuntu EC2 Я запускаю Django приложение на AWS EC2(Ubuntu) t2.micro. Я установил все нужные модули, создал PostgreSQL базу данных, скачал свой проект с s3 и сделал все миграции. Теперь когда я запускаю команду python manage.py runserver 172.31.27.208:8000 я не могу подключиться к этому адресу через браузер, получаю ошибку ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT.
python manage.py runserver 172.31.27.208:8000 возвращает:
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
January 30, 2020 - 11:10:59
Django version 3.0.2, using settings
'project_test.settings'
Starting development server at
http://172.31.27.208:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Так что я полагаю что сервер запускается корректно.
Я использую private ip адрес из aws ec2 console для этого инстанса, который, я проверил, совпадает с адресом, который возвращает команда ifconfig.
TCP открыт на порте 8000 в AWS security_group inbound rules.

Я также проверил netstat -lan | grep :8000 после того как запустил Django runserver, возвращает:
tcp        0      0 172.31.27.208:8000      0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

То есть на нужный порт биндится нужный ip адрес.
Попробовал сделать curl на адрес на котором запускал runserver, с того же хоста на котором я его запустил запросы проходят, ни с других удаленных серверов, ни с моего локального компьютера - нет. Это наталкивает меня на мысль что что-то не так с файрволами. Файрвол самой системы проверил, там все открыто, значит по идее остается только файрвол на AWS.
Я просматривал похожие проблемы и все перечисленные в решения уже правильны в моем случае. Так что я не имею понятия, в чем проблема. Могу предоставить вам больше информации, если вам что-то нужно. Буду благодарен за любую помощь. Спасибо.

DAVE LOMBARDO Discusses PHILM, Forthcoming SLAYER EP
June 6, 2012 0 Comment Philm, Slayer
Anthony Morgan of Metal Forces recently conducted an interview with SLAYER/PHILM drummer Dave Lombardo. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On reforming PHILM:
Lombardo: "I really liked Gerry's [Nestler, guitar and vocals] style. I found it very unique; it was heavy at times, but it just had a different style. I felt drawn to play drums with him. Tom Araya [vocals] from SLAYER was in the hospital — he was getting some neck and spinal surgery — and I found myself with a bunch of time. I reformed the group at that time but I couldn't find the original bass player [Juan Antonio Perez], so I ended up finding Pancho [Francisco Tomaselli]. He had approached me at a drum workshop and told me that he had heard I liked the band he was playing in, which was true. It was a band called WAR — the classic WAR band from the '70s — who he's been playing with for seven or eight years, or maybe longer. We've been playing ever since. We took the bull by the horns, just recording the album ourselves in a house. It was a lot of fun; we had a really good time doing it, and we already have material for the next record."
On the influence of '60s drummers on PHILM:
Lombardo: "Drummers in those days were self-taught; they learnt by watching, listening, and mimicking, and not by reading scores of music or learning from a teacher. They did it from the heart, and learning it from the heart is from searching and educating yourself on something that you feel passionate about. It was done differently back then. Today we find drummers that are educated; they go to Berklee (College Of Music, Massachusetts), they go to Musicians Institute (Hollywood, California), and they come out with all these high numbers. But man, if you put them in a room, come on. Come up with something, something that's new, interesting, and fresh. They wouldn't be able to though. All they come up with is what they've learnt, the one scale that they worked on for four or five hours. Sometimes I have to tell musicians that I play with 'Dude…,' because I didn't grow up like that. I was self-taught, so I really don't know the language. I've noticed the difference of certain musicians. I don't know where the hell this question started (laughs). Oh yeah… drummers like Mitch Mitchell (THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE) were very fluid, very natural, and very spontaneous and explosive. It had dynamic. Today of course with what I just said and also computers altering the sound of the drummer and the feeling of the drummer, you lose the swing."
On recording debut PHILM album in North Hollywood, California at the house of a friend:
Lombardo: "She has this three-to-four-bedroom house, and there was a center room in the middle of the house. It's kind of strange how this room is set up. This room resembled a drum room that I had recorded in in Hagen, Germany at Woodhouse Studios, where I did three records [March 1995's 'Power Of Inner Strength', February 1997's 'Nemesis' and February 1999's 'Solidify'] with GRIP INC. in the '90s. When I walked into that room, she told me that she played guitar and sang in there. That's where she writes her music. She writes novels and she writes music, and that's her place. I said, 'Wow, this resembles this drum room in Germany.' It had a tile floor, wooden ceiling, and stucco walls. The ambience in that room was really, really cool. It had a nice plate sound, as engineers call it. It was kind of tight. I said, 'Hey, can we record here?' and she agreed. She loved the idea, and we pulled it off. It was a lot of fun. We did it on our own time; we started in September, and I think we ended in January. Three to four months it took for us to get this record out, and mix and master it. It was a really nice environment, and she cooked for us every now and then. It was a nice hang."
On forthcoming two-track SLAYER EP:
Lombardo: "I don't know too much about it, except that I recorded my parts in April. It came from some work that Kerry [King, guitar] and I were doing that started the end of 2011. He and I got together and started working, and we decided to go into the studio and do an EP. When it's going to be released? I don't know. Is it done? I don't know. I know Tom has sung on the songs already, so they're pretty much done. Mixed? I don't know. I don't know the details. I don't know where it stands. It's all a mystery."
On the tempo of the two tracks:
Lombardo: "What's fast for SLAYER? Fast as in 'Necrophobic' (from 'Reign In Blood') fast, or fast as in 'War Ensemble' (from 'Seasons In The Abyss') fast? The first song is more of a 'War Ensemble' kind of fast. Just the pace, the tempo. That's all I can say, other than its traditional SLAYER sound and structuring. I don't remember the second song that they chose, though."
On the health of SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman:
Lombardo: "He's getting better. He's just working on getting better, and that's all I can say. We want him back and want him back onstage, but he needs to get better."
On whether Jeff Hanneman's health is causing a delay in the recording of a new SLAYER studio album:
Lombardo: "I don't think so. I think things are going just as planned. We just have these shows to do. We went in and we did the EP, similar to how we did 'Psychopathy Red' in 2009 right before 'World Painted Blood' came out. We released 'Psychopathy Red' as a single, so this is similar. Everything is pretty much on track. This has nothing to do with Jeff."
