Every printer manufacturer produce inks cartridges for their printers models only, you cannot use HP ink cartridges in dell printer. An ink jet printer is a very economical way of getting high quality images, though it is not suitable for mass printing but perfect for home printing. They produce vivid images and if you are using best ink jet printer model with high print settings, you can get easily get sharp prints like the laser printers. The ink cartridge sometimes only fit in the specific printer model or a complete series of the corresponding model. This guide will take you through every step of buying perfect ink cartridges.
As mentioned above, every printer use specific ink cartridges, so make sure you use the appropriate cartridges for your printer. You can check the printer's manual to know about your printer model and which ink cartridges is compatible with it. You can buy it from third parties cartridges either from your printer manufacturer or from the listed third-party manufacturers.
Some companies specifically design brand new printer cartridges just like OEM but they are not the original equipment manufacturer. However, they are normally guaranteed by the manufacturer it will work just like the branded but on condition that they should be use be properly. Some manufactures also give you a warranty on their products. Some OEM companies also patent their cartridge design which means you cannot find compatible ink cartridges anywhere else.
These are old and used ink cartridges that have been reconditioned and refilled to produce the perfectly working ink cartridges. In the process of manufacturing these cartridges, empty ink cartridges is taken into a processor which is OEM or any other company. Processor opens the ink cartridges and refills it and also replaces the damaged and broken parts. After this process they are also tested for any possible defects, the quality if remanufactured or reconditioned ink cartridges caries with the manufacturer. Though, they do provide you warranty on their product.
The print head is the small chip which is responsible for all the printing action that takes place. Sometimes it is integrated in the printer or can be a part of the ink cartridges. Your printer manual does not include this information, only way to find out is to check the printer. These circuits are very sensitive and tend to be easily damaged by touching them therefore, take great care while installing the cartridges in your printer.
You will be surprised to know that inkjet printer uses just 4 colors which are yellow, cyan, magenta and black to produce millions of colors. The tri-color ink cartridges have 3 separate chambers and black ink is hold by a separate chamber. It gives you an advantage of printing more text and people who rely on document are greatly benefitted from it. Some of the high end printer uses up to 8 ink colors to create remarkable film-quality prints.


Parthenogenesis, from the Greek meaning "virgin birth" is an odd quirk of embryonic development that allows female animals of some species to give rise to offspring without a male genetic contribution - usually by a doubling of the egg genome to generate a new embryo with the proper number of chromosomes. Parthenogenesis is common in insects, and among vertebrates it occurs in some species of fish and reptiles, and strangely enough, in turkeys.
Parthenogenesis has also been documented in several species of shark and rays. In the previously studied cases, however, only a single animal was produced by parthenogenesis, and none survived more than a few days. It was unclear then if elasmobranch parthenotes were as healthy as animals produced from normally fertilized eggs. A recent study led by Kevin Feldheim of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution at the Field Museum in Chicago, and Demian Chapman of the Institute for Ocean Conservation Science at Stony Brook University in New York, advances this field one step further. They show that a white-spotted bamboo shark female gave rise to parthenogenetic offspring that have survived for several years. Parthenogenetic sharks are therefore not inherently less viable - normal sharks can be produced using only female-contributed chromosomes. It remains unknown whether elasmobranchs actually use parthenogenesis as a method of reproduction in the wild. The studied instances have occurred among animals in the controlled environment of aquaria, where the female was isolated from males for a long period of time.

Cynic/ Intronaut/ Dysrhythmia @ The Opera House, Toronto ON, August 2, 2010
Review by Natalie Zed; Concert photography by Adam Wills
Metal cannot often be defined as subtle. Every now and again, however, these is a show that serves as a sort of palate-cleanser, offering metalheads an opportunity to indulge in some of the more delicate flavours that this broad, strange genre of music has to offer. Cynic, Intronaut and Dysrhythmia performed just such a show, giving the audience at the Opera House an aural meal to be sipped and sampled as well as devoured.
First and foremost, I must note that this show was exceptionally well curated. The lineup was composed not only of excellent musicians and interesting bands I was eager to see, but of three bands that fit together on stage. They each complimented each other's work beautifully, and the presence of each enhanced and uplifted the performances of the others. I was also struck by the sense of reverence and respect for each other's work the bands demonstrated. After performing, I spotted the striking Colin Marston (who is also a member of Gorguts and Krallice) in the audience as he watched and visibly enjoyed the rest of the show, not just passively sitting back, but listening carefully. This created an atmosphere in which the audience was encouraged to regard the show not just as a series of discrete sets, but to see the entire structure of the evening as a deliberate composition.
I arrived about a third of the way through Dysrhythmia's set. The audience was attentive, though initially the tiniest bit standoffish, as though they not quite sure how to respond to their work and stage presence. I can understand this; Dysrhythmia have a shirt that says "no vocals, no breakdowns, no dancing, no fun." This can, initially, seem alienating. I beg to differ only on the last point, however. While they aren't fun in a dance-party folk-metal drunk-fest way, they're certainly an extremely pleasurable band to see live. The source of this pleasure is hinted at by their name. 'Dysrhythmia' comes in two varieties: circadian (jet lag) and cardiac (irregular heartbeat). The name of the band is incredibly apt. Their sound discombobulates like sleep deprivation does, throws the listener's intellectual balance off. It is disarming. The sound also throbs, a heartbeat gone wrong, as hypnotic as it is unsettling. While I can see that this particular brand of strangeness may not be for everyone, I found their oddness extremely attractive.
Intronaut filled the middle slot, and filled it extremely well. They were refreshing after the initial weirdness of Dysrhythmia, and set the tone for Cynic wonderfully with their jazz- and sludge-influenced sound. They're sharper as well; if Dysthrythmia inflict blunt force trauma (gently if relentlessly), Intronaut scratches and gnaws. They also have a lightness, a sense of playfulness to them. They bantered with the audience, were cordial and gracious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being onstage. They're complex without being dour, and I appreciate that. They'll gleefully scramble your brain, but at least both they and the audience will enjoy the experience.
There was a tension as palpable as an ache in a muscle that preceded Cynic's entrance on to the stage, and a release of supreme satisfaction when they began to play. I don't headbang to Cynic; I sway. They're one of the bands that arouse my seldom-indulged tender side. I don't feel confrontational while listening to their music. It is not about catharsis, but a very different kind of release. All around me, I noticed other members of the audience, whether standing at the front or leaning against a wall in the back, settling in to watch the show. Paul Masvidal is deeply interested in meditation and breathing practice, and this comes across in every aspect of his sound. Rather than throwing punches, Cynic, stretches, extends, folds and enfolds. There are two ways to remove tension from a muscle: a beating or a massage. Cynic opts for the latter rather than the former, and their tenderness defines them.

Here's what the gang played on Hellbound Radio on Sunday night. All three were in attendance, as this was Kevin's last show before heading to Florida for vacation (have fun dude!). Sean drove Kevin crazy playing not one but two ANVIL songs, and also ended the show with a full 19-minute DREAM THEATER track.

View Full Version : How can I boot Knoppix using windows boot loader?
I am using Windows 2003. All my partition except a 1 GB partition is NTFS. The 1GB partition is FAT32.
Make the bootfloppy. Start "mkfloppy.bat" on the CD in the KNOPPIX folder.
Boot from the floppy. It should scan for the KNOPPIX file and find it on the harddisk.
I have read that in the Docs. But It would be much better if i could boot it without the floppy.
If it were a install on a separate partition like a normal distribution, i could install LILO to the linux partition and take he first 512 bytes of it and boot Linux using Windows's boot loader.
If i were haveing 9x, i could use Loadlin to boot Knoppix.
But with Windows 2003 and using Knoppix Image( Not CD image. I meant the 690 MB image on Knoppix folder on CD.) How can i boot it without Floppy from HDD?
append="2 lang=us noscsi apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=normal initrd=boot/miniroot.gz quiet"
You will then have a new entry in NT loader to choose which chain into lilo and boot KNOPPIX from there(which you already know).
KNOPPIX will not boot if you put KNOPPIX on NTFS partition as there is some incompability between CLOOP and the NTFS 1.x driver. Write to Klaus and beg him to upgrade to NTFS 2.x driver for the kernel tree if you want that. I have made some change to the linuxrc in initroot to 'insert' my custom kernel(the whole tree) at load time in order to work around this problem.
I've been working on getting this going and seem to be running into confusion at step 5. How is this "link" configured? I thought I had it figured out but I keep getting messages about /dev/loop7 not being a directory.
Any further insight would be appreciated. Or any different information on booting into linux using the Windows boot loader too.
Saw this tip (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=127#389) about booting with Windows native bootloader, instead of lilo.

Q: Swift, filter, array Такой вопрос:
Есть 21 объект
@IBOutlet var coins: [UIButton]!

я создал еще один массив, но пустой:
var coins2 = []

Забираем от 1 до трех coins. Сначала я, потом Ai.
код для меня:
 @IBAction func coinsHidden(button: UIButton) {
     button.hidden = true
     coins2 = coins.filter{ $0.hidden}
}

код для Ai:
 @IBAction func endTurn(sender: UIButton!) {
     let numberToDelete = Int(arc4random_uniform(3)) + 1
     for _ in 0..<numberToDelete {
         let tag = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(coins.count)))
        coins[tag].hidden = true
        coins2 = coins.filter{ $0.hidden }
   }
}

Проблема в том что, Ai берет те coins, которые уже hidden = true. Как сделать, чтоб он взял только те, которые еще не брали?

A: вот так примерно это должно выглядеть
    let numberToDelete = Int(arc4random_uniform(3)) + 1
    for _ in 0..<numberToDelete {
        let coins2:Array = coins.filter({ $0.hidden == false })   //создать временный массив с видимыми элементами
        let index = Int(arc4random_uniform(UInt32(coins2.count))) //выбрать что убрать
        let buttonToHide = coins2[index]                          //взять из отфильтрованного массива соответствующий объект
        let indexOfButton = coins.indexOf(buttonToHide)           //найти его же в оригинальном массиве
        (coins2[indexOfButton!] as UIButton).hidden = true        //спрятать в оригинальном массиве

Songs For Motion Pictures, Commercials & Promotions.
Gladstone, New Jersey — Wednesday, August 28th, 2019 — Jimmy Wilgus has written hundreds of songs and performed with several bands. Most recently Jimmy has written music for motion pictures and a TV series directed by Vitaly Pavlov in Russia. Jimmy lives in Russia and has authorized the licensing of his music for recording by artists, motion pictures, TV Theme songs, and commercial purposes. Want to hear the genius of this modest songwriter? Visit a website created by fans, www.therewasnosunset.com.
Jimmy has been the victim of a very unfortunate situation in Moscow. He was arrested by Russian police on false charges in November 2016. He was held in detention for almost a year before a trial. The judge found him guilty, even though the victims testified he did not commit such a crime and was sentenced to 12.5 years in a Russian Labor Camp. He sits there today, in charge of the entertainment program for prisoners and visiting dignitaries, and continues to write new songs. Jimmy has never given up and wants to share his music with the world. The support of his fans has always been there. Now Jimmy needs the support of the music industry to keep his music alive until he returns to America.
Jimmy stays in touch with family and fans and has summarized his situation as follows: "I feel blessed that the music has always been there. The melodies and stories have always come easy. Now, with these new experiences, I have so much more material to write about. I look forward to my release when I can record it all."
Though Jimmy is confined and his activity curtailed, his goals remain optimistic because he knows he is innocent of the charges and has never lost his desire and ability to write music. Jimmy has taught music to young children here in the US, currently teaches fellow prisoners how to play as a group, gave Master Classes n drums to Russian drummers, has never been selfish with his gift, and at this point in his life wants to share his music with the world. It would be helpful if the industry could support Jimmy so he can offset his expenses by licensing his music.
Feel free to preview the music, watch videos of Jimmy's performances, enjoy the movies he scored and learn more about the artist by visiting the fan-created website, www.therewasnosunset.com. If you need more information, please contact [email protected]
JIMMY WILGUS – Composer, Vocalist, Drummer, Pianist, Performer, Recording Artist, Producer, Engineer
After being introduced to a piano by his mother at 4 years old, Jimmy Wilgus taught himself piano as a child and studied drums at the age of 12 with jazz legend Joe Morello. He began writing and recording songs on his 4 track tape player when he was still in high school. By the time he was 16, he was studying vocals with Marty Lawrence of Manhattan. Armed with a trained voice and prolific songwriting talent, Jimmy began recording at professional studios including the Power Station, Skyline Studios, Sorcerer Sound, Water Music, Waterfront, Trax East, Mixolydian, Brielle Music, and Boulevard Music. His song "Colorblind" won the Billboard songwriting contest and he's received honorable mention certificates for "Living in a Bad Dream", "Where Have You Been?" and several other songs.
Jimmy's music caught the ear of video director, Chuck Fishbein, Crazy Duck Productions, who made videos of Jimmy and won an award for producing the video for the Jimmy Wilgus classic, "Rock and Roll People".
At the age of 18, Jimmy took his music out of the studio and into the NY club scene with his 5-6 piece band "Jimmy Wilgus & the People". Jimmy added 4/5 very talented musicians since the quality of music was the focus.
He's played in such venues as Club Bene, The Count Basie Theatre, The Morristown Community Theatre, NJ Performing Arts Center and The Tito Puente Amphitheatre in Puerto Rico, as well as local favorites in NYC such as The Bitter End, CBGB's and The China Club.
"Jimmy Wilgus and The People" were recognized as one of the Best Unsigned Bands in the country by Musician Magazine back in the 90's.
In addition to his own band, Jimmy has toured with several groups. Most notably as playing keyboards for Joe Bergamini's progressive rock band, 4-FRONT, who opened for such artists as Kansas, Marillion, The Spin Doctors, and Saga. He also played drums for New York songstress NICOLA.
Jimmy also studied culinary arts at the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan, earned a degree as Chef and received a special award for creating a practical children's menu in gourmet dining.
In 2000 Jimmy had a recording facility called THE DEN in Denville, NJ. There he produced or recorded hundreds of artists of all genres of music, including the following:
9 CIRCLES, NICOLA, HEERNT, FRIDAY'S CHILD, CHRIS RICH, NORWAY, MICHAEL KAPLAN, THE FAKERS, ROB CHIOSSI and ATHENA.
He's written and recorded music for several television and radio commercials here in the USA, including Rolling Rock Beer, Sprint Communications, Pearle Vision, NBC News, CUBIES and the YMCA, as well as several products in Russia.
If you have the chance, you must see a short film written, directed and filmed by Jimmy entitled, THE DIRECTORS CUT, featuring Indiana Rich. Jimmy also starred in the movie.
Jimmy has taken the time to teach music to young children at the Valley Music Center in Long Valley, NJ. He also gave a private lesson in drumming, piano, keyboard, and vocals.
With 20 years of professional experience in all facets of music, Jimmy formed the band WICKED MONKEY with Russian guitarist Yury Nikolaev. With WICKED MONKEY, Jimmy has toured Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia, as the frontman performing original songs. He memorized lyrics to a popular Russian folk song which brought the house down at concerts in Russia.
Most recently, Jimmy scored several films for Russian director Vitaly Pavlov and was asked to compose all the themes and incidental music for the 2013 Pacific Meridian Film Festival in Vladivostok, Russia, where he was honored for his work.
In 2014, Jimmy traveled to Moscow to perform concerts, singing a duet with Svitlana Bolbot. There he met Elena, married her on May 2014 and decided to live in Moscow. He was giving drum lessons to adult Russian musicians and young beginners. He became partners with Russian investors and musicians to set up a new, state-of-the-art recording and production studio. There he wrote many themes for a documentary recognizing the night during World War II when the Germans & Russians put down their weapons for one New Year's night to socialize together. While working on these side projects, Jimmy was constantly working with Vitaly Pavlov scripting music for motion pictures, a TV series, and video commercials. He appeared many times on TV in concerts, did TV interviews and gave Master Classes at major music stores in Moscow.
In November 2016, Jimmy was arrested in Moscow, Russia and charged with false accusations. His case was sabotaged by his Russian lawyer who collaborated with the prosecutor and he was sentenced to 12.5 years in a labor camp in Moldova, Russia. His case was brought to the attention of the US Dept. Of Justice, and after reviewing his case, they have filed a formal request with the Russian Minister of Justice to have him extradited as soon as possible.
While in prison, Jimmy assembled a new band playing original songs in English & Russian. They will be entertaining at other prisons and dignitaries visiting the prisons. Jimmy was allowed to have his keyboard sent to the prison and continues to write new music based on new experiences.
In the meantime, one of Jimmy's fans has created a website for fans to listen to his music and send comments. Feel free to visit www.therewasnosunset.com for more about Jimmy as a creative artist.

Richard Jefferson | Early Life, Family, and Education
Richard Jefferson was born in California, Los Angeles, United States. His parents, Richard Jefferson Sr and Meekness LeCota, originate from the state.
He grew up in a normal household as a single child. Further, his parents raised him fully Christian and even made him join a Christian religious group.
Due to Jefferson's parents being fully devoted to this group, they frequently used to move around. Therefore, he attended multiple schools throughout their journey.
However, finally, they settled in Phoenix, Arizona, for a long time, during which he graduated from Moon Valley High School.
By this time, young Richard had already picked up great skills in basketball. Hence, he helped the high school team win a state championship in his senior year.
Richard Jefferson while playing against the Warriors
Seeing his great potential, the University of Arizona offered him a scholarship which Jefferson happily accepted. He was also a key player on the University's men's basketball team during his three years.
RJ started in 77 out of 84 collegiate games, where he performed exceptionally. Nevertheless, their efforts fell short in the 2001 national championship game to Duke.
As a result, he decided to enter the NBA draft as his projection from NBA scouts was very high.
Besides that, the former NBA player is well characterized as a wise, responsible, and hard-working individual by his family and peers.
His teammates recognized him as a solid team player throughout his seventeen-year basketball career.
Richard Jefferson | Age, Height, and Weight
The one-time NBA champion was born on June 21, 1980, and is 42 years old as of 2023. As a former athlete, he still takes terrific care of his health and diet.
Hence, Jefferson is in great shape despite not having to undergo intense training. He still frequently works out at the gym.
Furthermore, he weighs 233 lb (106 kg) and is 6 ft 7 in tall.
Richard Jefferson | Basketball Career
High School Career
Jefferson played high school basketball in various schools because his family constantly moved. However, for his senior year, the Jefferson family settled in Arizona.
Hence, he played high school basketball for Moon Valley High School. He played the small forward position and wreaked havoc on the rim due to his height advantage.
Despite having a height advantage, Richard preferred to shoot rather than take it down the post. As a result, he developed good shooting skills that helped him through his career.
Further, RJ was the center of his high school basketball team's offense. The former NBA player led his team to a state championship win in his senior year.

The basketball analyst's skills were nourished after joining the University of Arizona. Despite being a rookie, he started the majority of the season games.
He always picked up the slack for his team in offense or defense. Richard was the best player on the court game after game.
Hence, the rookie quickly earned a spot in the permanent starting lineup for his sophomore year. Unfortunately, they were unable to reach the national championship finals.

This quickly changed in Jefferson's junior year as they not only went to the finals but were favored to win the tournament.
To their surprise, Duke Blue Devils' opponents were not going down without a fight. No team ever built a strong momentum through the game as the Blue Devils.
However, the Devils prevailed and gave Richard's team a loss they will always remember in the end. Regardless of their loss, Jefferson was widely praised for his outstanding performance.
As a result, he decided not to finish college and instead entered the 2001 NBA draft.
NBA Career
Jefferson entered the NBA draft in 2001 as a junior out of college. Further, the New Jersey Net picked him as the first-round 13th overall pick.
Initially, he didn't get much playtime as a rookie. However, this quickly changed in his second season as he started raining Fire, as his offensive game was very well crafted.
Season by season, Richard was turning into a bucket machine. Nevertheless, the Nets as a team were very dysfunctional. Even though they made the playoffs, the Nets were always eliminated early.
Hence, the Nets decided to trade RJ to the Bucks after seven seasons. This was a very unusual trade because Jefferson was just coming off his career-high average in points, which was 22.6 points per game.
The Bucks were not a fit for him. That's why they let him walk in free agency. Richard joined the Spurs and was productive for the team.
Nonetheless, that also didn't work out in three years. As a result, Jefferson went to the Warriors, the Jazz, and the Mavericks for one season each.
After moving from team to team, the player found a home in Cavaliers. During this time, he formed a very brotherly bond with LeBron, which can still be seen in the media.
Furthermore, in his first season with the Cavs, he won his first historical NBA championship. Due to his excellent support in winning the title, the Cavs extended his deal by one year.
This could have been his changing point, but it was clear that the age factor was playing its role. Therefore, he was traded to the Nuggets, which was his final NBA season.
Post Basketball and Analyst Career
Following the 2017-18 season with the Denver Nuggets, Jefferson announced his retirement on October 13, 2018.
Shortly after that, he joined YES Network to start his broadcasting career.

However, the two dated for a short period during Jefferson playing career. Not to mention, Lourenco was a former model that was relatively successful during her prime.

Therefore, she began modeling for multiple private agencies. Slowly, Teresa began to lead the modeling community by working as a Victoria's Secret and Christian Dior model.

During this phase of her life, the model met Richard, who had recently called off his wedding. Hence, they started dating one another, which led to a serious relationship.
Nevertheless, they always preferred to keep their life out of the media's limelight while dating. Hence, there are very few pictures of them on the internet.
Besides that, the pair didn't have any kids. Nevertheless, Lourenco had two kids from her previous relationship, and Jefferson had a son.
Currently, the basketballer's relationship status remains unknown, and he barely talks about it in the media.
Richard Jefferson Calling Off the Wedding at the Very Last Moment
The ESPN analyst was very committed to Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols from the start of his NBA career.
They were very vocal about their relationship, as they frequently admired each other in the media. Therefore, when the news of Richard marrying former Nets dancer Kesha spread, everyone took it seriously.
Of course, some people made a huge mess about his news as it was a bit unethical for a Nets player to date a Nets dancer.
Hence, the media stretched this topic as wide as they could by running it repeatedly. Nevertheless, these media stories didn't seem to affect the couple as they confirmed the news of their marriage.
As a result, everything was set. The bride and the guest had already arrived at the altar. However, Jefferson got cold feet and called off the wedding.
He called his friend two hours before the wedding and said he wouldn't come. The news was a great shock and tragedy for everyone attending the wedding.
Not to mention, the wedding that never took place cost the NBA player $2 million. That's a huge price for not showing up at your wedding.

Fort Hood shooting trial delayed
Published 12:00 am EST, Thursday, February 2, 2012
FORT HOOD, Texas -- The Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during the Fort Hood shooting rampage will go on trial in June, a military judge ruled Thursday after agreeing to a three-month delay.
Attorneys for Maj. Nidal Hasan argued during a hearing at the Army post in Texas that they still lacked key evidence needed to prepare for the March trial.
Prosecutors insisted defense lawyers didn't need more time, noting that one defense expert was hired nearly two years ago and that he alone has already racked up about $250,000 in fees billed to the government.
The defense had asked for a July trial, but the judge settled for June 12.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the November 2009 attack at the sprawling Army post, which is about 130 miles southwest of Dallas. If convicted, he faces the death penalty. Hasan, who was arraigned in July, has not yet entered a plea.
Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, the lead defense attorney, said the defense team had received about 320,000 pages of documents from the government before December and another 60,000 pages in the past two months. Calling the volume of material "mind-boggling," he said each page has to be reviewed to decide whether it's relevant.
He also said their mitigation expert needed more time to gather extensive information on Hasan's childhood, academic and professional life, religious background, medical and mental health history and other issues. Such experts present evidence to jurors in an attempt to spare a defendant from a death sentence.
"That's why death-penalty cases take so long to go to trial," Poppe told the judge, Col. Gregory Gross, during Thursday's hearing.
But a military prosecutor, Lt. Col. Steve Henricks, noted that although a mitigation specialist is required in a death-penalty case, this expert was hired more than a year before Fort Hood's commanding general decided that Hasan would face the death penalty.
Henricks also said many documents recently given to the defense have already been in the defense team's hands in other formats, and that Hasan's attorneys have crime scene data and other evidence, despite their claims to the contrary.

While adapting the nearly century-old tale, Bradley Cooper mulled a variety of ways to re-do a pivotal scene of the film's dramatic climax. Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich revealed some of them in the Variety cover story on Lady Gaga.
Through all four major versions of A Star Is Born, the basic arc leading to the tragic death of the male lead remains the same. Cooper's adaptation had his character Jackson Maine hang himself in the garage of his home after realizing that his alcoholism and addiction were burdens on his wife Ally (Lady Gaga).
A source told Variety that Jack White was the musician in question. He was approached before Gaga was brought onto the film. A repr for White did not immediately return a request for comment from Rolling Stone.

One challenge faced by both direct mail and email is getting the communication piece opened. In emails, using an intriguing subject line gets people to click open the message. For postal direct mailers, the challenge is getting recipients to tear open the envelope or self-mailer so they see and read what's inside.
1. Spend as much time on subject line or direct mail envelope as you do the full content of the mailer. Tease the recipient. The word free is intriguing, but using it in the email's subject line may get your message flagged as spam. Use the word free in a postal campaign and people will chalk it up to hype and suspect there are hidden strings attached. Consider asking a question instead. Get creative.
2. Hand-address the envelope and put a real stamp on it. If it looks like a wedding or party invite, it will get opened first. This works particularly well with small-list B2B mailings.
Remember, the greatest offer sent to the best list ever will go nowhere if it doesn't get opened first. What's the most savvy opener you've seen?

The last Big Bang Theory season? What happens after season 11?
While season 11 has been confirmed, nobody knows what's after that. Could season 11 be the last Big Bang Theory season? Rumors within.
How Different is Simon Helberg Outside of the Big Bang Theory?
Although renewed, season 11 could be the last Big Bang Theory season entirely.
Credit: www.inquisitr.com
There's no better way to start your day with some coffee, good breakfast, and complete panic.
A few days ago the collective TBBT fanbase sighed in collective relief. Season 11 was finally confirmed. Rumors were put to rest. We could look forward to a brand new year of the group's shenanigans.
But what's better than confirming certain rumors? More rumors. It's now possible season 11 is the last Big Bang Theory.
All right, what now?
Last week I wrote about the speculations regarding season 11. The potential cancellation was caused by budget concerns, primarily. On top of that, Kaley Cuoco had expressed interest in starting a family versus acting.
And that's become the core of the issue. Current speculation has it that actors Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki have renewed their contracts, but potentially only to season 13. This is a rumor and a half, and there's no official confirmation. However, we can take some of it at face value.
Only a few scenes with Sheldon and Penny?
credit – today.com
It's because of Kaley's focus on starting a family this all may come to a head. Speculation is that beyond season 11 (assuming renewal), we'll see far less of Leonard and Penny. In fact, when season 11 starts, we'll be able to verify this ourselves.
Think of it this way: the tenth season of any show is considered its zenith. It's a big success at that point. For most, this is the receding tide of their particular roles. Actors look at the accomplishment, feel proud, and then explore other projects.
Kaley could've held off her family wishes for one more season, but she might be thinking of finally moving on. I can't blame her, or anyone else, they don't need to keep going (but please do!).
But more scenes with Amy and Sheldon?
Additionally, other rumors speculate season 11 could have increased focus on Amy and Sheldon. If this is the case, the drama of Leonard and Amy could quietly move to the side. Sheldon and Amy, in theory, carry the weight of losing focus on the other two characters.
So here's what I've made of it so far: while season 11 has been officially renewed, we could be looking at the end soon. We need to pay close attention to Kaley, as her desire for family life will have an impact on speculation.
In the meantime, if they, Johnny and Cuoco, indeed extended until season 13, we may only see bits of them in the years to come. As it stands, all we have for sure is one more season. But with these other things coming to light, it could very well be the last Big Bang Theory.
I'll be sure to bring you more rumors as news comes to light. Stay tuned!

Listening to music no longer has to be confined to the living room, basement or wherever the stereo is located. Today's whole-home streaming audio solutions allow music to be enjoyed anywhere inside or outside the home. Whether the listener is relaxing in the tub, whipping up family dinner in the kitchen, splashing in the pool, entertaining guests in the rec room, or watching a surround-sound movie in the home theater, music is there! If each family member happens to be doing those activities at the same time, no worries. They can still listen to their favorite songs no matter what room they're in.
Today's multi-room audio streaming technologies allow everyone in the home to access their favorite music or program with a simple touch of a button, or click of an app. Music that is played in each room, or "zone" of the house, can be individually controlled through a smart phone, tablet, or sleek wall-mounted keypad. The solution is not only easy to use, it's elegant and can fit within any home design or remodeling concept. All source components can be located in the room, or stored on a hidden rack or cabinet. Recessed speakers can be installed flush against any surface creating a seamless look.
A multi-room audio solution is tied into the home's central audio/video system. A basic system typically includes a high-definition TV, a Blu-ray or DVD player, an A/V receiver or amplifier, and, of course, speakers. A full audio streaming solution, especially when it's integrated with a home control platform, takes that basic setup to the next level. There are dozens of high-quality streaming systems to choose from, but we can take the guess work out by designing for the number of rooms involved and level of sophistication required to achieve your needs. Our products, such as Meridian, GoldenEar and Sonance, are the most technologically advanced in the industry. We can give you an audio solution that fits your lifestyle.
Audio from a multi-room system can come from almost any source on a home network, including a dedicated music server, a desktop or laptop computer, or portable device such as a smartphone or tablet. The system can also connect to all popular streaming service such as Spotify, Pandora, Beats Music, iTunes Radio, Sirius XM or cloud storage services. No matter what someone wants to hear, everyone in the home can enjoy their favorite music or program wherever they want.
A high-quality speaker for any audio system is about finding the balance between performance, coupled with a design that compliments the surroundings. Beautifully crafted floor speakers, such as Meridian Loudspeakers Loudspeakers, can be an added match to your room's décor. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers can be installed flush into the surface for an unobtrusive, clean look that blends into the room's environment. Many speakers also come with removable magnetic grills that can be painted to match the color of any wall or ceiling.

The Hadrami people live in South Yemen, but thousands of them have moved to sites along the coast of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Professor Leif Manger explored the Hadrami Diaspora, a $60 book published in September 2010. We offer some excerpts from the book.
Quick look at Turkish rule in the 1800's
Britain had watched the growth of Egyptian control of north east Africa under Mohamad Ali in the 1820's and 30's with concern. The regional developments played a role in its decision to occupy Aden in 1837. From Aden [in Yemen] the British could also keep an eye on Ethiopia, especially the important trading town of Massawa. But Egypt was the regional centre of power.
Khedive Islamil Pasha of Egypt, inspired by his grandfather, Mohamad Ali (died 1849), dreamed of creating an African empire. The proximity of the three trading centers of Suakin, Massawa, and Jeddah linked Africa to the Hijaz and the Muslim pilgrimage... [From 1863 Ismail Pasha secured control of the Red Sea region for Egypt and began administrative reforms.]
Soon they were developing plans for transport links, telegraph lines, and water works. The region suffered from a lack of health services, schools, mosques, and basic housing, so new systems of taxation and local administration were introduced.... Economic development was also promoted. Increased production of cotton and dura was a priority in areas that could be irrigated. The cultivation of such cash crops were introduced to areas such as the Tokar Delta, Gash and, in the south, Aqiq [beside the modern Sudan/Eritrea border.] Cotton was a priority in order to exploit international market shortages caused by the American Civil War.
Mining was another activity, as was salt, which was shipped to Jeddah to be resold to Indian boats. To better reach markets, improved transport between Sudan and Egypt became another priority.
Egypt began to borrow from foreign sources. Times were exciting in Egyptian controlled regions. The Suez canal opened in 1869. Railways were built. Palaces were constructed. Coastal towns were improved. Kassala had been established as an army outpost in 1840. But Egypt's ambition was greater than her capacity and funds.
Egypt had a war with Ethiopia in 1875-76. But Egypt lost the war.
In 1875, to manager her debt, Egypt was forced to sell its shares in the Suez Canal to Britain. Ismail was deposed. In the Soudan, the Mahdi declared his role in 1881, which became independent from Egyptian control after Khartoum was captured from General Gordon in 1885. During this tumultuous time, the British became more deeply involved in Egyptian affairs. Professor Manger writes:
It is during this time of general unrest and foreign occupation that we find the early migration of Hadramis.... The migrants travelled to Aden, the Red Sea ports of Jeddah and Suakin, as well as to Cairo. They went to Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. Shipping was an important activity.
Trade in slaves was common; slaves were also commonly used as crew on the dhows. Trade in coffee to Egypt was important, as was the arms trade to Djibouti.
Less important trade items included millet and sesame from Somalia to the Hadramis home region in Yemen, and hides millet, and camels out of Massawa. Moneylending was also common, in which the Hadramis competed with Indians.
The Beja and Hadramis in Suakin
Suakin has a unique geography. As a very small island in a good harbour a clear difference existed between the inhabitants of the island, and those people living on shore. The island was an Indian Ocean merchant town with houses made of limestone and coral. The island is made of coral. The Hadramis have had a long association with the town.
The development of new buildings was slow until the building boom of the 1860s and 1870s, led by the policies of Khedive Ismail. The town of Suakin included two mosques, some warehouses, and coffee houses. There were few houses on the mainland, as the area was mostly inhabited by the Beja people who traditionally lived in semi-permanent huts or shelters. There was a mosque as early as 1822, according to Burkhart. While mainland culture was dominated by the Beja, the island's inhabitants represented Arabic culture, speaking Arabic and dressing like hijazis. The mainlanders spoke Ti-Bedawyet and wore traditional clothing.
On the island were "Turks" which included people from everywhere in the Ottoman Empire; and "Banyans" a term used for a group of non-Muslim Indians engaged in trade with India and also moneylending. The group included merchant castes from northern and western India (Sind and Gujarat), most of whom were Hindu but who could also be Jain. Finally there were also local elite religious groups like the Beja Hasanab and the Artega.
On the mainland, meanwhile, the inhabitants were Hadariba and Beja (Bishariyyin, Amarar and Hadendowa, collectively known as Sawakini). The Hadariba were related to religious elites among the Beja dating from pre-Islamic times and who claimed ancestry from Hadramaut in Yemen. It is unclear at what time this occurred, indicating a lack of clear genealogy, and perhaps also that the term Hadariba is more of an ethnic label for people who advanced claims about Hadrami descent in general. [pp. 69,70]
Goods and Trading in Suakin
In the early nineteenth century most of the trade from Suakin went to Arabia, with sorghum (dura) being the most important export item. The grain came from Kassala-Gedaref (Butana) and the Gash, but some also came from agricultural areas along the Nile.
The Beja brought animal products mats, dom fruit, nabaq, camels, and a few cattle. Fishermen provided fish and some pearls. Slaves and gold made up the luxury goods together with ivory, tobacco, incense, gum arabic, ostrich feathers and eggs, horses ebony, and musk. Cloth was also traded.
Indian goods were among the imports, including textiles, spices, perfumes, ornaments, and rice. From Jeddah, traders imported household utensils, dates, onions, sugar, coffee, tobacco, iron, and steel. All imported goods went through customs in Suakin.
In 1822, Burkhart thought that Suakin may have had 3,000 on the island and 5,000 on the mainland. In 1853, Munzinger put the numbers at 6-8,000 and 10,000. But in 1905, after the Mahdi's rule and British/Egyptian recapture had devastated Sudan, only 490 houses were on the island and 300 properties on the mainland. Port Sudan opened in 1905 and Red Sea trade shifted there. Suakin swiftly declined, and the island was essentially a ghost town by the 1920's; without maintenance, many buildings began to collapse.
Roles were different for Hadramis and Beja
In the mid 1800's, the Hadramis had the international contacts, as their community was spread through East Africa, Yemen, Arabia and even India. Their local agents were everywhere.
From Kassala they bought butter, which they carried in a liquid state, and dura... The town also provided waterskins and other leather product. Mats were acquired from various Beja groups, while the famous racing camels were obtained from the Bishariyyin, one of the groups within the Beja confederation.
Imports from India, shipped through Jeddah included women's dresses and ornaments, Indian sugar, coffee, dates, and iron. The iron was used to make knives and swords treasured by the Beja. These goods were brought across the Red Sea by small boats run by Arabs.
Sudanese goods came on the Berber-Suakin caravans, but also from Khartoum via Kassala. As the slave trade diminished, gum Arabic from the Kordofan region of western Sudan rose as an important export crop.
Grain was transported by the Hadendowa and marketed by the Hadariba. The trade in so-called luxury goods was in the hands of Arabs.
So the caravan trade was managed by the Beja, and the selling of goods by the Hadrami. Manger notes that "The Beni Amer have an aristocratic ruling class and claim Arab Hadramouti origin. The beni Amer were Islamized by Funj holy men, but only with the Khatmiyya did they really become Muslims."
Manger's book explores the Hadrami Diaspora on site, with stories from Singapore, Hyderabad, Sudan and Ethiopia. He analyses the difficulties of maintaining an ethnic identity when people are far from their homeland, and he even looks at the role of the west, and it's influence on the muslim world in the middle east.
Did you know? The Ottoman Empire outlawed slavery in 1857.

Home/Curatorial, News/NO REST FOR THE WICKED
No Rest for the Wicked is a curatorial project presented at ArtInternational in Istanbul by Lanfranco Aceti. The project will showcase recent artworks by Bill Balaskas as well as a series of exhibitions and art projects developed by MoCC (Museum of Contemporary Cuts) since 2012. No Rest for the Wicked will provide the opportunity to engage with an international organization and a range of international artists that are tirelessly altering the landscape of contemporary art, presenting innovative and original approaches that are defining contemporary art history trough a visual reinterpretation of the social.
In his exhibition at ArtInternational, Bill Balaskas continues his investigation into utopianism, a concept that has informed his practice ever since the outbreak of the global economic crisis. In his most recent work, Ou la mort (2014), a modified French typewriter from the late 1960s is transformed from an object of everyday use into a symbolic gesture that appears to question the universality of Enlightenment's principles and their continuity to the present day. This dialogue with the historical precedence of social upheaval is also evident in Re: Evolution (2013), an imaginary flag that combines the design of a computer with the symbols of communism and the Soviet flag. Finally, the constantly flashing question "Is this ever going to end?" of the website www.thisisnevergoingtoend.com (2013), is indicative of the artist's poignant, yet humorous visual language, which invites us to rethink determinism at a time of rapid social, political, economic and cultural transformation catalyzed by new media technologies.

Rising out of their century-long-infancy, internet advertising is quickly overtaking classic advertising mediums like magazines, magazines and in many cases the radio. The majority of the business owners happen to be fast driving a car at the conclusion the fact that Internet is currently becoming an essential tool, regarding the daily running of their businesses. ignifire.com.br With regards to brand understanding, its acknowledgement and mlm, the huge effectiveness of the Net cannot be part pressed. Besides, online advertising may directly refer to the sales of a item, which is also vitally important for a organization.
With almost all net visitors ready for online advertising on commercial websites, the promoters have also recognised its accurate potential as well as the various chances it creates at the target viewers. Thus, clientele who each and every one depend on the advertisements put on the website have found realize that they need a web site design providing you with the necessary screen space and a proper design for advertising advertisements. As a result, the website fashionable must be able to design and develop a webpage that can create advertisement revenue and at the same time meet the needs of visitors.
In general, the web designers rarely concern themselves with what advertising will appear inside the website web page. Again, certainly not making some them although planning the page design and style may result in an exceedingly awkward website layout. Therefore its better to consider the placement of the adverts during the first of all stage within the designing process, giving the web site an organized look introduced complete. Right here the website creator has to produce an overall fragile balance, keeping both the promoters as well as the guests in mind and what will appeal to both of them. The designer must see that, rarely ever, should the movement of the content or information about the website become disrupted.
Some of the few vital factors that the webpage designer will need to keep in mind whilst designing the internet page are the layout and spacing from the advertisements. Adverts can easily consider up huge chunks of space inside the layout of an website, whether it be a big banner or many smaller ones. Here the website designer must follow several layout approaches, so as to give the advertisements a feel of being an integral part of the full total web page.
Next thing to become kept in mind is the colour schemes used in the advertisements. Online advertisements often use shiny and brilliantly colored colours in order to make them be prominent and get the viewer's attention. Here the job of the website trendy will be to gain access to the colour scheme and decide on shades that could match the colours made use of in the advertisements and not make the page resemble an artist's palette. Set up designer have never seen similar to be put on the web site, it is always preferable to play secure using moderate colour techniques.
Best of all, the website custom has to offer more top priority to the main flow details or content of the web-site, for which the web site is being produced in the first place. If the website is actually a e-commerce kind of website, then there will be even more advertisements in comparison with a normal web page. So , placement of the advertising and the content has to be balanced and the custom made will have to possess quite a experience so as to generate a success of the full website.
Thus the work of the web-site designer is quite challenging as he will have to continue to keep an ongoing case on the impact of on the net advertisements on the web page layout.

The Roommate Review – An Odd Couple with Heart
July 4, 2018 Jessie Bond Entertainment 0
Ensemble members Ora Jones and Sandra Marquez.
Ensemble members Sandra Marquez and Ora Jones.
Those of us who attended college are likely familiar with the system of randomized roommates. You fill out a questionnaire with lots of surface-level questions about your personality and lifestyle—Do I have an opinion on shared food items?, I remember thinking—and in the end, you never know who you're going to end up with. For me, it was a dance major who liked Maroon 5 too much, but for Sharon of The Roommate, Steppenwolf Theatre's latest production, her new roommate Robyn, whom she seeks out after a divorce leaves her in need of financial assistance, brings excitement, mystery, and changes to her identity that she could never have anticipated.
Ensemble member Ora Jones.
At first, this expertly-written comedy seems to be essentially the tale of an odd couple: Sharon, an Iowa resident (from Illinois originally, which is very different, she insists) has had little exposure to the experiences that define Robyn—her veganism, her queerness, her pot smoking. This kind of clashing of big city/small town lifestyles is something that's been explored before, but playwright Jen Silverman writes it with such specificity, such perfect precision, that it feels new. What's more, there's no hostility between the women; rather, Robyn finds Sharon's naïveté charming, while Sharon is enraptured by Robyn's unapologetic boldness. The genuine warmth that blossoms between them, for all their surface-level conflict, is the play's core and what makes it so instantly loveable.
Ensemble member Sandra Marquez.
What initially seems like a simple case of mismatched personalities, however, becomes something much deeper as Sharon discovers secrets from Robyn's past that she finds too irresistible not to investigate. What she finds, though, is more than just secrets; she finds parts of herself she never knew were possible. In this way, the script rises beyond simple comedy to wrestle with questions of identity and loneliness, without ever losing its strong sense of absurdity, a feat that is impressive to say the least.
Of course, it helps to have two such stellar actors onstage embodying this familiar, unfamiliar duo. Steppenwolf ensemble members Sandra Marquez and Ora Jones offer the audience a "master class on comedic timing," as I overheard one audience member say after the show. Marquez captures Sharon's sweet, sheltered mannerisms just as well as her tenacity and bluntness. Jones has a regal elegance to her that makes her a captivating stage presence, even when her more worldly character is breaking down into giggles. The two have a chemistry that puts nearly every romantic comedy's leads to shame.
It's rare that I even notice the lighting of a production, but light design by Xavier Pierce is so subtly beautiful, it's difficult not to notice. Light streams into the house as though it's sunshine through windows, and various lighting moments carefully highlight the action onstage. Costumes by Samantha C. Jones perfectly embody the two characters, whether it's the colorful, flowy garments Robyn wears or the farm-girl skirts and blouses that make up most of Sharon's wardrobe. Credit, too, must be given to the prop work in this show, which includes the creation of some very specific objects, several of which are destroyed.
The Roommate is exactly the sort of ninety-minute comedy you need more of in your life: smart, funny, soul-searching, and full of heart. Ditch your roomie and check out this show—or better yet, take them with you.

Over low heat or in a double boiler in a large stock pan combine the sugar, heavy cream and milk. Scrap the vanilla beans by making a slice vertically down the bean and scraping along the inside. Add the vanilla beans and seeds to the cream mixture. Do not allow cream mixture to boil, while mixture is cooking in a separate bowl beat eggs with a wire whisk. When the cream mixture has begun to simmer carefully remove 1 full cup of the warmed mixture. Gradually add the warmed mixture to the eggs beating constantly. When the eggs have fully been incorporated with the warmed cream mixture, slowly add the contents to the pan stirring constantly. Allow the mixture to cook until it has become thickened and can coat the back of a wooden spoon (will reach 170F). Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Pour into the ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing.
