Text Editor and or an "IDE"
I highly recommend Firefox over all other browsers.
At this stage, technically optional, if you do all your work on your home machine and then upload, but you'll still probably want one handy.
Linux and Mac users have these built in.
Windows users have a slightly confusing range of issues to deal with, since most of the web is a "Unix/Linux/*nix" type of environment, and Microsoft was ill-prepared for the internet generally.
Cygwin is another interesting option for users who want a more complete option.
By now you know the difference between a text editor and an IDE. We will use both; now please feel free to use an IDE and auto-complete your little hearts out.
Probably built in to your machine, the following are fine - basically no "help" at all but can still be useful.
You will need a program or other method of copying the html files that you create to a webserver. One option is to use the command line; I imagine Linux users will already be somewhat familiar with this approach, so I won't include that here; but the following link about iSpace will give you information on Command Line clients for Windows and Macs: Go Here.
Details on Filezilla, a cross-platform program, are available here.
NOTE - some IDE's (and even file managers) have this built in. NICE.
Github is probably the most popular, but we will likely be using GitLab.


The biggest bad boy on the banking block, JPMorgan Chase, has agreed to pay $13 billion over allegations that it misled investors about the risky mortgages they were buying.
That's the biggest legal settlement ever between the United States government and a single company or individual.
It's also $2 billion more than the $11 billion settlement we expected.
And when you add that $13 billion onto all of the other settlements JPMorgan Chase has agreed to this year, those screw-ups pretty much wipe out the $21.2 billion in profits it logged last year.
Chase's deal with the Justice Department resolves a wide range of allegations about how the bank fraudulently created, marketed and sold bonds backed by home loans that were almost certain to fail — and did.
The bank acknowledged that it made serious misrepresentations to the public about the quality of its mortgage-backed securities, according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
That helped lead to the housing crisis and naturally contributed to the Great Recession.
Chase certainly isn't getting off easy.
Of the $13 billion, $9 billion will go to federal and state civil claims.
The other $4 billion will be in the form of relief for consumers who were harmed by the actions of JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.
Of course, this only resolves civil claims regarding residential mortgage-backed securities.
Chase, and individuals who may have participated, aren't shielded from potential criminal prosecution. And individuals involved aren't released from civil charges.
This deal follows billions of dollars in other settlements reached by Chase in recent months.
Just last week, the bank reached a $4.5 billion settlement with 21 major institutional investors over the mortgage-backed securities the bank sold to them before the financial crisis.
Chase, of course, has been roiled with investigations, and the breadth of the bank's alleged wrongdoing is staggering. Abusing borrowers. Lying to shareholders. Even manipulating electricity prices.
Including the recent $13 billion and $4.5 billion settlements, the bank has now paid a total of $21.28 billion in settlements this year — right about what it earned in profits last year.
We can only hope that Chase holds up its end of the deal and doesn't start raising fees on its checking accounts and credit card customers to make up for those expenses.

World in Pictures Day 18: September 11, 2011
Published in Site Announcements and Updates by Kevin L. Kitchens on September 09, 2011 13:52
While September 11, 2001 was a terrible day in American history, the horror of it was shared by the world as a whole.
As this year marks the 10th anniversary of that senseless attack, I felt it would be only fitting to show the world as it is a decade later. Therefore our next World in Pictures Day edition (the 18th) will be 9/11/2011.
As usual, take a photo of your part of the world showing life as it happens. Your photo MUST be taken when it is September 11 where you are. Nothing from the tenth or the twelfth.
Your entry does not have to cover memorials or observances. Simply showing that life indeed goes on if fitting enough tribute.
Full details can be found at http://photographyvoice.com/world-in-pictures-day
As always we all look forward to seeing your world.

Sea Turtles: "The Pandemic Poaching Pandemic"
"In Costa Rica, Panama, and elsewhere, COVID-19 lockdowns caused suddenly desperate people to begin poaching sea turtle eggs and meat, threatening hard-won conservation achievements."
"Miguel Torres spends most of his nights playing a game of cat and mouse. Along with seven colleagues, Torres, a wildlife refuge patrolman, conducts hourly sweeps around Ostional Beach, in northwestern Costa Rica, looking for sea turtle poachers. The key to winning this game, Torres says, is to be as dark as possible. If poachers see you on your phone at the patrol post, they know the coast is clear. If you use your flashlight too much, you give away your position.
Torres only flashes his light when his well-trained eyes see a shadow that's out of place. That flash is usually enough to send poachers fleeing. And on April 15, 2021, at about midnight, Torres and a colleague came upon three suspicious shadows where the jungle meets the beach. Brandishing his flashlight, he saw two of them bolt into the night. The third shadow remained, squirming in the darkness.
When Torres and his partner got a better look, they froze. It was an olive ridley sea turtle writhing on its back. Its stomach was sliced open, and a trail of eggs led to a hastily abandoned plastic bag and a kitchen knife plunged into the sand."

Is He Cheating on You? Now Available As an E-Book
The infidelity book described as a "cheating man's worst nightmare" is now available as an e-book. Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs lists practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs most people usually overlook.
Distribution Source : ArriveNet
Date : Wednesday, September 28, 2005
New York, NY -- (ArriveNet - Sep 28, 2005) -- Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs is now available as a downloadable e-book, by popular request. Written by infidelity expert Ruth Houston, this 220-page e-book documents practically every known sign of infidelity, including the subtle signs most people usually overlook. The e-book is distributed through Booklocker.com .
As in the soft cover edition, which was recently featured on The Today Show, the e-book version of Is He Cheating on You? contains hundreds of signs of infidelity, which are conveniently grouped into 21 major categories so a woman can easily find the signs that apply to her mate. Categories of telltale signs include Physical Appearance, Conversational Clues, Work Habits, Day-to-Day Behavior, Telephone Tip-Offs, Computer Use, Car Clues, His Behavior Around Other Women, and more. Each of the 21 categories contains anywhere from 19 to 92 individual telltale signs – all of which any woman can find using nothing more than her eyes and ears, her personal knowledge of her mate, and the checklists in the book. No special skills or equipment are required.
Why Women Like the Book
Says Houston. "What women say they like most about the book is that it contains everything they need to get the goods on a cheating husband without the need for private investigators or high tech surveillance equipment. While gadgets like cameras, tape recorders, computer software and semen detection kits can be useful in exposing a cheating mate, many women are intimidated by these things, or simply can't afford them. And in many places, these gadgets are illegal. Is He Cheating on You? makes catching the cheater easy and simple. There's no fancy equipment to fuss with, learn how to use, or risk being discovered. Using the step by step instructions and the detailed lists of telltale signs in the book, a wife can find out almost everything she needs or wants to know about her husband's affair using her own eyes and ears, and the things she already knows about her husband, his personal habits, and his daily routine. She'll catch the cheater every time."
The Secret of Catching a Cheating Spouse
"The secret is knowing what to look for," explains Houston, "since many of the signs of infidelity are subtle and easy to miss. Once a woman knows what to look for, the telltale signs are really easy to find. Knowing what to look for is the key. Most women are absolutely amazed at how many signs there are just waiting to be found. One talk show host called the book "a cheating man's worst nightmare." (For a FREE tip sheet entitled 14 Things You Should Know About Signs of Infidelity, send an email to InfidelityInfo@gmail.com )
Hundreds of Cheating Signs
Based on over 10 years of in-depth research on infidelity which began when Houston accidentally discovered her now ex-husband's affair, Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs contains literally hundreds of signs of infidelity, including:
• Signs most women usually overlook
• Signs so subtle a cheating spouse would never even think to cover them up
• Signs a private investigator is unlikely to find
• Signs almost impossible for a cheating husband or cheating wife to conceal
• Signs that help pinpoint the identity of the other woman
• Little-known signs not found anywhere else but this book
Infidelity Signs Apply to Both Men and Women
Despite the title, most of the telltale signs in Is He Cheating on You? apply to cheaters of both sexes. The book is packed with secrets that cheating husbands and cheating wives don't want their mates to know. "The e-book actually contains close to a thousand telltale signs" says Houston, "I added signs sent in by readers, which were not included in the original soft cover book."
Special Section For Men
As an added feature, the e-book version of Is He Cheating on You? contains a special 10-page section for men entitled Is She Cheating on You? Says Houston " At least a third of the inquiries I get from visitors to the website (http://www.InfidelityAdvice.com ) are from men who want information about cheating wives or girlfriends. So I added this section especially for them."
Bonus Section with Special Infidelity Reports
The e-book version of Is He Cheating on You?- 829 Telltale Signs also comes with the 6 Bonus Reports and 2 Infidelity Questionnaires listed below:
Special Infidelity Reports
• 5 Things You Shouldn't Do If He's Cheating on You
• How Gifts Can Expose a Cheating Husband
• Infidelity Quiz - Is He the Cheating Kind?
• What the Two of You Must Do to Survive His Affair
• Advice for the Husband Who Cheated
• Advice for the Betrayed Wife
Infidelity Questionnaires
• Can Your Marriage Survive His Affair?
• Will He Cheat Again?
Faster Service for International Customers
"I originally converted Is He Cheating on You? to e-book format in order to accommodate the many international customers who request the book." says Houston who receives orders from all over the world including Israel, England, New Zealand, Portugal, Canada, and Australia. "It's easier, faster, and less expensive for customers outside the United States to order the e-book version, but customers from the United States order the e-book too."
Some Customers Order Both
Houston says many customers order both the e-book and the soft cover edition. "They like the convenience and portability of the softcover book," explains Houston, " but many customers are eager to start checking for telltale signs right away and realize that some signs may no longer exist by the time they get the book – even though the books are always rushed out by Priority Mail. When people suspect their mate of cheating, you can't blame them for wanting this information right away."
How to Order Is He Cheating on You?
The e-book version of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, is available from http://www.booklocker.com/books/1755.html for $37.
The soft cover edition of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs, is $29.95, and can be ordered from the website http://www.Is-He-Cheating-On-You.com , by the toll free-number 800-431-1579, or from Amazon.com. It can also be special ordered from bookstores (Lifestyle Publications, ISBN: 0-9720553-4-7)

Identity Theft Info New York Private Investigator
Shocking No. 1 Source of Identity Theft About half of all identity
theft is
committed by close friends and relatives, who lift a wallet or
pocketbook and
not only steal the bills and credit cards inside, but also the identity
goes with it. That's the shocking conclusion of a new survey of 4,000
consumers,
about 500 of whom were identity theft victims, that was conducted by
Research and the Better Business Bureau for CheckFree Services Corp.,
USA, and Wells Fargo Bank, report MarketWatch and The Associated Press.
The most frequently cited sources of identity theft:
Lost or stolen wallet: 29 percent
Fraud that occurs during an in-store or telephone transaction: 12.9
Corrupt employees: 9 percent
Stolen mail: 8 percent
Spyware on the computer: 5 percent
Sifting through garbage: 2.6 percent
Computer viruses: 2.2 percent
"Phishing" through fraudulent e-mail: 1.7 percent
If a relative or friend rips off your wallet, you're also likely to pay
in dollar terms than if a stranger steals your identity. MarketWatch
that families and friends made off with $15,607 on average, compared
$9,243 on average stolen through mail theft, and $2,320 ripped off in
scams. But here's another cold fact: In fully 75 percent of the cases
identity theft, the victim has no clue who committed the crime.
The most difficult form of identity theft to detect is new account
fraud.
This occurs when a new credit card account is set up using the victim's
information. This also tends to result in the highest dollar hit. New
fraud leads to a $12,646 hit per victim on average, compared with
$9,912 for
existing non-credit-card accounts and $5,803 for existing credit-card
accounts,
reports MarketWatch.

Verizon Wireless Wins Injunction Against Data Thieves > September 15, 2005
Food for thought from New York Private Investigator
Verizon Wireless Wins Injunction Against Data Thieves Sept. 15, 2005
The injunction is against a Tennessee 'private investigation' company that reportedly uses a number of techniques to obtain private subscriber information.
By David Haskin
Mobile Pipeline
Verizon Wireless said Thursday that it has received a court order preventing a Tennessee company continuing what Verizon calls the theft of subscriber information.
The wireless operator received an injunction against Source Resources of Cookeville, Tennessee. The permanent injunction prevents Source Resources from acquiring, possessing or selling customer account information without either a court order or the subscriber's permission.
"They call themselves private investigators," Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson said in an interview. "They are common identity theft crooks."
In its initial court filing in July, Verizon Wireless claimed that Source Resources used "deceit, trickery and dishonesty" to obtain customer records. Specifically, the wireless operator claimed that Source Resources "is engaged in wrongfully obtaining confidential customer information (such as the customer's calling records) … by posing as a customer of Verizon Wireless seeking information about his or her own account."
The Source Resources "investigators" provided Verizon Wireless customer service agents with security information, such as the victim's social security number of mother's maiden name. That information was, according to Verizon's brief, "wrongfully obtained."
The request for the injunction cited Dan Ealey as the principal of the company and also cited 10 anonymous "John Does" who actually worked to obtain the information. The legal brief said that Source Resources advertised its services over the Internet.
Nelson said that Verizon Wireless customers weren't the other victims but claimed that Verizon Wireless has taken the lead in preventing this type of fraud.
"This may be going on with other wireless companies and telecom companies," Nelson said. "But Verizon Wireless will absolutely go to the mat to protect our customer's rights."

They're Watching You from New York Private Investigator Trailblazer Investigations Inc
Something that caught my eye and that eveyone should be aware of. I will be posting articles similar to this along with informative investigative links.
They're Watching You
Posted on Tuesday, September 13 @ 12:24:15 PDT by Intellpuke (283 reads)
Intellpuke: "The following article is by William Illsey Atkinson, writing for Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. In it, he examines new methods being used and developed to monitor what we do, what we say, what we use ... well, just about anything and everything in the human activity arena. It is a very good, albeit somewhat alarming, article and well worth the read. The article raises important questions about a person's right to privacy and national security, and I believe it merits a wider audience. Mr. Atkinson's article follows:
On the fourth anniversary of 9/11, the world not only recalls the carnage, it also finds itself face to face with the social and technological changes that the terrorist attacks began. The biggest of these -- arguably more important than any military issue -- is surveillance. Whoever you are, wherever you are, at any given moment some friend or foe may be watching you. That's today's reality.
We take some surveillance for granted. Airplanes and satellites with remote-sensing equipment constantly fly over Canada to monitor pollutants and illegal fishing, enforce Arctic sovereignty and inspect our territory for the movement of illegal goods.
Yet the main target of Big Brother is not acreage, but people. Personal surveillance is of two kinds, public and private. Public surveillance covers people and organizations that the state deems to be a real or potential danger. Private surveillance covers threats that an individual fears.
Although public surveillance has many times the scope of private surveillance, the two realms' technologies constantly overlap: The same devices may entrap the frisky husband and the errant embassy official.
Both spies and private detectives may use infrared cameras to show the incontrovertible heat signature of a companion lurking in a bed somebody swears he occupied alone all night. That image can be seen even if Mr. or Ms. X left the premises several hours ago.
Other spies use parabolic microphones to eavesdrop on a conversation from 100 meters or more. A three-dimensional shape called a paraboloid concentrates incoming sound wave fronts to a single point, called the focus. Locate a sensitive condenser microphone there, and you have an ear the size of an elephant's, permitting an analyst to transcribe illicit plots, conspiracies or love talk.
Are the plotters behind closed windows? No problem. New technology can extract human speech from the longitudinal vibrations transmitted through two panes of intervening glass. Loose lips not only sink careers, business deals and marriages, sometimes they imperil nations.
Long before 9/11, the big powers used science to spy on one another. And when the spymasters exhausted available technologies, they had their boffins develop new ones.
During the U.S. Civil War, observers in tethered balloons photographed enemy emplacements from 300 metres aloft. During the First World War, French physicists developed ways to eavesdrop on telegraph messages without physical links, via induced electrical fields. During the Second World War, abstract mathematics broke German codes.
Today's technology goes far beyond these first tentative steps. In Japan's government laboratories in Tsukuba, an hour's drive northeast of Tokyo, Dr. Takeshi Sasaki has developed trace-chemical detectors 20 nanometres - one fifty-thousandth of a millimeter - in diameter.
"These devices are not a miniaturization of the bench-top gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers used in labs," he says. "They are unique materials, each nano-engineered to detect one specific substance."
One of Dr. Sasaki's materials, made by directed self-assembly of cobalt oxide and silicon dioxide, is honeycombed with passageways three nanometres - the width of a single strand of DNA - in diameter. He calls these tiny tunnels nanopores. "Gas molecules of a specific type infiltrate the nanopores, reacting with receptor molecules built into the sides of the tunnels only a billionth of a meter beneath the material's surface," he explains.
Dr. Sasaki says the technology may soon mature into a rugged, accurate detector for trace molecules emitted by illegal drugs or explosives. This ultra-thin sensor would be as easy to use as litmus paper, and would be almost undetectable.
Nanotechnology, an emerging technology of extreme miniaturization, is being pressed into service to develop surveillance beyond anything in use today.
Rumors have begun to circulate among nanotechnologists that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) has funded initial research into a "digital insect." This mobile, autonomous snoop would combine photo-rechargeable batteries with nanosensors for sound, infrared light and visible light, plus molecular detectors like those being developed by Tsukuba's Dr. Sasaki. On command, the tiny platform would "narrowcast" its findings in a digital microburst to a receiving station.
Development would proceed in stages, from bird-sized through bumblebee-sized to something nearly as small as a gnat. Such micro-snoops would be able to go anywhere unseen. The term "bug" certainly applies.
On a larger scale, imaging and recording technology has been mass-produced, micro-miniaturized and cost-reduced to such an extent that high-quality surveillance is now universal.
The Canadian military, always apt with an acronym, calls this technology COTS, for "commercial off the shelf." A key subcomponent is the "charge-coupled device," or CCD, a specialized microchip developed to record the faint trickle of photons from faraway stars. The device looks like a chessboard, with a grid of tiny light-sensitive squares. When polled by a central processor, the elements output their recorded light; the processor then turns this into images.
The military long ago put CCDs into its "eyes in the sky." Some analysts believe that spy satellites can resolve visible images to 10 centimeters, which would read individual licence plates or spot an unshaven man's beard. Going by the public-domain specs of space probes such as the Mars Orbiters, and by the conservative assumption that military technology exceeds anything in the private sector, such tales would seem more truth than myth.
Variants of the CCD have found their way into consumer goods - digital still cameras, videocams and imaging cellphones. They also enable the public-surveillance cameras that increasingly infest our world. These catch us walking, talking, shopping, eating, banking and occasionally committing crimes.
The science and technology of surveillance extends beyond electronics and nanotech to sociology. For example, surveillance has spawned a low-level popular response called "sousveillance," whose self-assigned role is to "out the cams."
In Manhattan, a cheerful group of anarchists called the NYSCP (New York Surveillance Camera Players) detects hidden eyes on sign poles and light standards, then mugs before them in an attempt to embarrass their human monitors. Unfortunately, this may defeat the NYSCP's aim of discombobulating the human component of surveillance: Anything that relieves the tedium of staring at monitors probably pleases the watcher.
The group feels impelled to its performance art because, surprisingly, the American Civil Liberties Union has no objection to surveillance cameras in public places. "It is unreasonable to expect privacy in community locales," the ACLU says.
It's an interesting argument. Jane Jacobs, the world-famous urban scientist who makes Toronto her home, defines a safe city as "one that has eyes on the street." In other words, a watched area is a safe area.
And what difference is there between a neighbor's eyes and a video camera? In terms of human rights, might people's right to safety trump their right to privacy?
NYSCP's members consider the ACLU a toothless watchdog of civil liberties, and they and other private individuals persist in making their point.
A recent civil suit against Atlanta police alleges that while watching closed-circuit TV screens showing nothing but peace, order and good government, the defendant security officials grew so bored with the absence of crime that they turned their cameras on good-looking female Atlantans.
One young female, noticing the cameras trained on her, ripped off her top and flashed her breasts at the observers. Authorities charged her with lewd behavior in a public place, but steadfastly refused to prosecute, or even to identify, the men who violated her privacy.
One of the more compelling components of the surveillance issue is not new government inquiries into citizens' public and personal lives, but a belated recognition of how deeply the snoops had been burrowing before 9/11. The terrorist attacks simply threw light on a worrisome, existing situation.
Consider Echelon, an all-but-omnipotent system established three decades ago by the U.S. National Security Agency. Echelon's raison d'être is nothing less than monitoring every telephone call made in Europe or North America for keywords deemed important to U.S. security.
Echelon's tendrils extend far beyond the United States. Every trunk line in Britain's telephone system goes through an Echelon emplacement, a fact revealed in public testimony by a senior officer in British Telecom. (Afterward, he was roundly rebuked by a High Court judge for his loose lips.)
Besides Britain, Echelon participants include New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
In the 1970s, U.S. senator Frank Church said: "[Echelon] at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left, such [is] the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter. There would be no place to hide. If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back."
Political elites allegedly have already used Echelon for personal vendettas.
When British prime minister Margaret Thatcher suspected two of her cabinet ministers of disloyalty, she reportedly had Echelon bug the suspects' phone calls. The two were caught red-handed, and dismissed.
In the United States, it has been alleged that the telephone conversations of senior politicians, including senator Strom Thurmond, have been recorded.
Still, there's more to surveillance than scare stories. Every system can mess up, and the biggest systems often mess up most.
Mike Frost, a former employee of Canada's Communications Security Establishment, maintains that in 1981, a serendipitous Canadian intercept of a foreign ambassador's conversation revealed a huge grain deal that the ambassador's country was about to close.
Using its inside knowledge, he says, Canada quietly caught its competitor flat-footed and won a wheat contract worth nearly $4-billion in today's money, he says.
The public realm isn't the only one with horror stories: Private surveillance can be just as spooky. Dozens of companies offer employers Dial-a-Snoop, software that lets their clients check warehouses and cubicles (and the employees therein) from cellphones 24/7. Spouses track each other through private investigators. Parents spy on their children's caregivers through "nanny-cams" disguised as statues, flower arrangements, or books.
There's an interesting footnote to this. Using inexpensive, readily available COTS technology, a U.S. journalist recently cruised the streets of a prosperous, lily-white suburb in an unmarked van. From inside his vehicle, he was able to pick up every nanny-cam signal: The houses he passed were broadcasting sound and video to him. The nanny-cams, installed to increase security, were unwittingly sending intimate household details to the world.
In fact, it's probably time for a thorough public debate on surveillance. Those who use it quote Edmund Burke that "the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." Those who think Big Brother has gone more than far enough say the same thing, but their vigilance is on the invigilators, guarding us from our self-appointed guardians.
Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa and the Canada Research Chair for electronic commerce and Internet law, is particularly concerned about legislation being considered by the federal government that would effectively lay open the entire Net to covert surveillance.
"Not only does the proposal ... create new surveillance powers, but it actually reduces the level of privacy protection and oversight associated with that surveillance," Dr. Geist says.
"One proposal floated in the spring would require ISPs [internet service providers] to disclose subscriber information within 30 minutes to law-enforcement authorities on a 24-hour, seven-day-per- week basis. Incredibly, law-enforcement authorities could make such a request with only a phone call under certain circumstances."
How would Dr. Geist sum up this all-embracing proposal? It's simple, he says. "No judicial oversight. No advance paperwork. No privacy."

Wouldn't it be more sensible to set the city value of Melborne as 3,600,650 rather than 61,670??
"With a metropolitan area population of 4.3(3,879,400 in game) million and a population of approximately 146,297 people in the city proper (known as the "City of Sydney"), the Sydney metropolis is the larger of the two main financial, transport, trade and cultural centres of Australia"
I'd say go with the metropolitain area. You wouldn't judge the population of New York City just by the population of Manhattan or Brooklyn now would you?
You are saying what I am saying and don't even know it! How nice is that?!
In fact, I made some more research and saw that some values are the highest number possible and some of them are smallest number possible. I say, let's edit them in the way that they will take the max number available.
For the sake of consistency, I've tried to always use the city proper numbers, not the metro area numbers. If I'm off on any from that angle, please point them out and I'll fix them.
"Not talking about metro population or city proper, it would be good to use the largest numbers available. Some may belong to year 2000 and others may be from '05 but again, the largest numbers would be easy to catch and fun to use..."
Well the thing is, "metro area" includes all of the people that have congregated around the city to make a living, including its suburbs. "City proper" is just some historical/arbitrary boundary for the city, and may or may not be where most of the people in the city live. For example, Rio de Janeiro has a city proper population of 6,150,000 [same as in-game] and a metro area of 10-13 million because a lot of poor people decided to move to the city and ended up stuck in slums that were within the city proper boundaries, whereas Boston's city proper is 589,141 with a metro area of 5.8 million because the people who live there are better off and can afford to live in suburbs outside of the city proper.
Though, the best way to value cities would be some kind of algorithm that compares how rich the city is overall to the population of the city [thus, L.A. should be more valuable than Delhi, India in this way] - Kind of like culture in Civ3, except culture is a bit more difficult to determine. Most cities could be ranked in this way fairly easily if the ranks were "Poor, Average, Rich". Still quite a bit of research involved though.
Also, capital cities should be worth a little bit more.
i dont understand the number of paris, in game 2.142.800. but paris is much more bigger than berlin. paris is nearly as big as london.
Ok, all of the cities mentioned in this thread have been updated with their metro numbers rather than just city proper. If you have others, please post them in here and I'll get them updated.
Edit2: Also, LA's numbers should be changed to reflect those of Boston's. New York's too: 17,545,623 and 22 million, respectively.
This city reach 18,131,000 Pop. ( http://worldatlas.com/citypops.htm ) including metropolitan area.
The population you're referring to for Tokyo is the "megacity" from Tokyo to Osaka, which is analogous to the megacity area from Boston to Washington, D.C. Tokyo's actual metro population is 12 million people, the same as in-game.
São José do Rio Preto is a city and county (município) in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. County Area: 434.10 square km; population (2004): approx. 400,000.
The city was founded on March 19 1852, by Bernardino de Seixas Ribeiro. It is the commercial, industrial, and agricultural center of the Northwestern region of the State. It also hosts a major campus of the State University of São Paulo (UNESP).
You might want to change the triangles to something less misleading, like a pentagon.

So I'm no longer #1 due to admin changes? I love it! Time to edit the script.
Athens, Greece is a fine example.
45% of the whole Greece population lives their and it belongs with one of the largest cities in Europe.
The city itself without suburbs if way bigger then Hamburg, Germany.
The strange thing is, Mickey, you had Amsterdam quite right. Not completely because from this year they had a little above a million, but close enough.
"The metropolitan area of Athens is home to some 5 million people. Currently the city (metropolitan area) is growing eastwards across Attica (Attika: greater Athens)."
As far as I can find the district of Athens allready hold that 750,000 people.
So the real number for Athens without suburbs would be 3,103,000.
Mickey, is there not a way to get the real numbers of cities without just getting the district or the metropolian area(which are both 2 of extremes, 1 low and 1 too high)?
ps: also good to see Melbourne change by size. Family lives there and I know what an enormous city it is.
Yeah I immediately bought a nuke shield. Occupying Athens is my main interest so I want to keep it.
But I believe that it would soon be implemented in the game that you would lose your nukes if you have less then 2 cities...but I can be wrong here.
There's a few megacities in there too. I'd say make the most important city in each megacity represent all the cities in the area, since all of the cities are important indivicually but are too close together to justify being individual cities in-game.
Mickey, isn't Manhattan in New York City also part of the 'metropolitan' area?
It's already included in the numbers.
That is exactly what I mean. If New York City's numbers are including the metropolitan area, then shouldn't other cities have that as well? Just a thought.
That's what I mean. Manhattan isn't a "city", it's a district of New York.
Just a quick query, you've got a population for Belfast of 550,000 but only 495,000. I see your using the Greater Belfast popluation rather than the city but shouldnt that give Dublin a population of 1,164,400?!
You are correct. It's fixed now.
I didn't find that high of a number for all of the, but they've all been raised substantially.
For Istanbul, "Its 2000 Census population is 8,803,468 (city proper) and 10,018,735 (metropolitan area), making it, by some counts, one of the largest cities in Europe. Census bureau estimate of 7/20/2005 is 11,322,000 for the city proper"
Not that of a big deal but, that is correct yeah?
ok add this cities !!!!
Post each in an individual thread. Helps me keep track of which ones I've added already.

Part 2 – Animal Spirits So you've connected with your LifeReader psychic for a reading – maybe about your love life, work life or any number of life's important questions. In the middle of the reading, the psychic says "a dog just showed up" or a "cat is here". Well, this probably isn't what you expected from your psychic reading, is it?
This second article is about Animal Spirits. The titles may seem the same – Spirit Animals and Animal Spirits – but to me, the meanings are totally different. I define Spirit Animals as being essentially spirit guides in animal form. An Animal Spirit, on the other hand, is the spirit of an animal that has actually been alive in this world – perhaps a beloved dog or cat – that communicates from the other side or has returned to this side in spirit form.
What is an Animal Spirit?
An Animal Spirit is the "soul" that is left after the body dies and is the part that remains eternal and unchanged between this world and the next. More than likely you have had experience in your life with some type of pet – cat, dog, fish, bird, turtle or some other creature. And if that animal is no longer alive in this world, you may miss them or feel their absence, maybe wishing that you could somehow communicate with them again. You may wonder if the pet is happy or misses you? As an animal psychic, I have connected with many pets that have transitioned. I will testify that the death of animals in this world does not mean their end and those Animal Spirits are usually very willing to connect. Even the current Pope, Pope Francis, has declared that all animals go to heaven.
Why does an Animal Spirit appear in a Life Reading?
Sometimes an Animal Spirit will connect spontaneously in a reading, without regard to the intended topic. Most often it is a beloved pet who wishes to connect with a human they loved in this life. Occasionally they will be so happy to make a connection that they may even try to take over the entire reading. This sentiment is sweet and endearing but not productive for the original purpose of the reading. If this should happen, many psychics (me included) would offer an exchange of messages between the pet and their human and then request that the Animal Spirit step back.
Is it possible to connect with my own pet in a Life Reading?
Animal Spirits can be intentionally invited to a reading. Feel free to ask your LifeReader psychic if they can connect with Fido or Ginger or whomever. Many psychics will be able to make contact and deliver messages between you and your Animal Spirit.
So if you are having a Life Reading, don't be surprised if your beloved pet comes through and don't be hesitant to ask about them if they don't appear spontaneously. And don't be surprised to hear a message similar to "Love Abides". If your reading is with me, I will be honored to deliver Spirit Animal messages of love to you and your love messages to them, as well.
This article has provided information about one of the ways an animal may show up in your Life Reading. The last article in this series will feature Animal Messengers. Just as the name implies, these animals provide messages of varying importance to help you in your daily life.
Portions of this article were channeled through me from the Angel of the North. The accompanying pictures are from my Grace Cards and are a sample of what cards may show up to help me connect with Animal Spirits.


It is essential that students be familiar with internal structures of nonvascular and vascular plants and how those structures transport food and water within the plant.
Plants are classified into two major groups based on their internal structures. These two groups are vascular and nonvascular.
● Largest group in the Plant Kingdom.
● Have a well-developed system for transporting water and food; therefore, they have true roots, stems, and leaves.
● Have tube-like structures that provide support and help circulate water and food throughout the plant.
● Xylem transport water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
● Phloem transport food from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
● Examples include trees and many shrubs with woody stems that grow very tall and grasses, dandelions, and tomato plants with soft stems.
● Do not have a well-developed system for transporting water and food; therefore, do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.
● Examples include mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Students can develop and use models to describe how essential processes (movement of water and food) can be different in vascular and non-vascular plants.
The objective of this indicator is to construct explanations related to how the internal structures of vascular and nonvascular plants transport food and water. Therefore, the primary focus of assessment should be for students to construct explanations regarding how the internal structures of nonvascular and vascular plants enable plants to transport food and water. This could include but is not limited to students developing models to describe how xylem and phloem move water, nutrients, sugars, and other key compounds throughout the body of the vascular plant and compare these structures to the way nonvascular plants pass food and water from cell to cell.
In addition to construct explanations, students should ask questions; plan and carry out investigations; engage in argument from evidence; obtain, evaluate and communicate information; develop and use models; and construct devices or design solutions.

Monya Davis and Antoine Carr, both 21 years old, have been charged with Taylor's murder, he said.
Davis was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas in April and he has been extradited to Mississippi, the chief said. Carr was arrested in Austin in March. He is currently still in Texas and will be transported back to Mississippi soon.
The chief expects a third unnamed suspect will be taken into custody.
Authorities say it's still unclear why Taylor was killed and what his relationships to the suspects were.
"(The arrests) gives closure to the community and closure to his family," the chief said at a news conference held Monday afternoon. "He did a lot of positive things, from what I can understand, in the community."
The chief said police received "a lot of information" from the community which helped in the investigation.
Taylor was an up-and-coming music artist. His 2015 song "Colors" put him on the map nationally.
Gunfire caused panic at a vigil held for Taylor the month following his death. There were no confirmed reports of injuries in that incident.
After news of the arrests broke on Monday, supporters posted tributes to Taylor on social media.
"Shoutout 2 day boi Lil Lonnie now ur family and friends/fans can sleep peacefully knowing dat justice is being served and JPD didn't jus give up on u," one post on Facebook read.
Someone else wrote: "Lil Lonnie was a super sweet,smart,intelligent and kool kid I can honestly say that about him and he didn't bother nobody."
Crystal Capler, Taylor's sister, told the Clarion Ledger her brother's murder was "senseless."
She doesn't believe that Taylor knew the suspects and she doesn't know of any motive for the killing.
"There was no reason behind it. We don't really know," Capler said.
JPD detectives were in regular contact with her family and let them know when suspects were being taken into custody, she said.
"It was relieving," she said. "It's still an everyday struggle to deal with the death of Lil Lonnie .... He was very heartfelt. He cared about his people. He cared abotu his community."

Steelers Injury Report: Tomlin Updates Health Of Stephon Tuitt, Ryan Shazier, Jarvis Jones On Tuesday
The Pittsburgh Steelers figure to have quite a few names listed on their first injury report of the week that will be released Wednesday afternoon. On Tuesday, however, head coach Mike Tomlin addressed the health of several injured players during his weekly press conference.
Tomlin starting things off by saying that veteran safety Will Allen (ankle) is still working through his left ankle injury that he suffered in Week 5.
"We'll see what participation looks like for him as we push through the week," said Tomlin.
As for defensive end Stephon Tuitt (knee), who suffered a sprained knee in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, Tomlin said the team will leave the light on for him this week in hopes that he will be able to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
"We'll take a look at him as we proceed through the week as well," said Tomlin. "I saw him walking pretty good yesterday. We'll see what tomorrow holds in terms of his ability to bounce back, or not bounce back. We'll do whats appropriate there.
Tomlin said that he imagines that linebackers Jarvis Jones (hip) and Ryan Shazier (shoulder) will be well enough to participate this week. He didn't, however, update the status of cornerback Cortez Allen (knee), who has sat out since Week 1 with a knee problem.

Die Enzian war eine in Entwicklung befindliche deutsche Flugabwehrrakete während des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Die Rakete war sowohl für den Boden-Luft- als auch den Luft-Luft-Einsatz vorgesehen. Sie wurde in Oberammergau von der Oberbayerischen Forschungsanstalt, einer Zweigstelle der Messerschmitt-Werke, entwickelt und unter anderem in der Erprobungsstelle der Luftwaffe Peenemünde-West getestet.

Technische Daten

Aufbau
Die Enzian besaß einen stämmigen Rumpf mit kurzen Flügeln sowie Bauch- und Rückenflossen. Einer der wichtigsten Vorteile bestand darin, dass der Rumpf aus geformtem Sperrholz bestand, einem Material, das der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft in ausreichender Menge zur Verfügung stand.

Antrieb

Die Enzian wurde auf der Grundlage des Raketenjägers Messerschmitt Me 163 entwickelt. Die ersten Versuchsmuster E-1, E-2 und E-3 besaßen noch den gleichen Walter-Flüssigkeitsraketenantrieb wie die Me 163. Die späteren Versionen E-4 und E-5 wurden von einem neu entwickelten Zweistoff-Raketenmotor angetrieben. Der Treibstoff war Nitriersäure "Salbei" (92 % Salpetersäure und 8 % Schwefelsäure) und Ethylvinylether/Divinylisobutylsäureester Visol im Mischungsverhältnis 1,4:1. Die Mischung ergab ein spontan reagierendes Hypergol; es entzündete sich beim Kontakt selbständig. Dennoch wurde ein elektrischer Zünder montiert, um eine Verpuffung zu vermeiden.

Für den Start besaß der Flugkörper zusätzlich vier Feststoff-Hilfsraketen. Es waren vier Schmidding-Raketen 109-533 für Diglykol-Treibstoff, die vier Sekunden lang für 7000 kp Schub sorgten und dann abgeworfen wurden. Für den Luft-Luft-Einsatz entfielen die Hilfstriebwerke.

Als Startrampe diente die Lafette einer 8,8-cm-Flak. Die Startplattform bestand aus 6,8 m langen Schienen auf der modifizierten Lafette mit der Möglichkeit zur Einstellung von Höhen- und Seitenwinkel.

Steuerung
In der ersten Flugphase wurde der Flugkörper über Funk gesteuert. Die Labormuster E1–E3 wurden mit der "Straßburg-Kehl"-Funkfernsteuerung (entwickelt von Telefunken und der Staßfurter Rundfunk GmbH) im 6-m-Band gesteuert; die Seriengeräte ab E4 verwendeten das "Kogge"-Fernlenkgerät im 24-cm-Band.

Den Endanflug übernahm entweder das Infrarot-Lenksystem "Madrid" des Herstellers Kepka aus Wien oder ein akustischer Sucher von Telefunken und Messerschmitt.

Der IR-Detektor war in einem kleinen beweglichen Teleskop montiert und benutzte zur Lenkung eine Metallfahne vor dem Spiegel, um feststellen zu können, auf welcher Seite des Zentrums sich das Ziel befand. Wenn die Rakete sich kontinuierlich in die jeweils entgegengesetzte Richtung des Teleskops bewegte, lenkte sie sich auf einem so genannten Schleppkurs in das Ziel.

Gefechtskopf
Es waren verschiedene Muster in der Erprobung, alle mit dem gleichen Gewicht:
 Eine Variante enthielt kleine Schrapnelle aus Baustahl in den Abmessungen von 20 × 30 mm mit einer Treibladung im Zentrum. Tests ergaben ein Trefferbild von 1,5 Schrapnellen pro Quadratmeter auf einer Entfernung von 65 m.
 Eine andere Variante war ein Mehrfachsprengkopf. Er enthielt 500 kleinste Schwarzpulverraketen, jede mit einer Reichweite von 300 m.

With regard to the issue with which multiple granular dust spots are reflected in images captured with the D600 digital SLR camera, Nikon sincerely apologizes for any concern and inconvenience suffered by D600 users, retailers, and all concerned.
Because Nikon takes this matter very seriously, we will continue to offer users of the D600 a special service with which cameras are inspected, cleaned, and if necessary, shutter and related parts are replaced free of charge, even after the product warranty has expired. However, if a number of multiple granular dust spots are still noticeable in images captured with a D600 upon which the above service has been performed several times, Nikon will replace it with a new D600 or an equivalent model.

Loud concert evicts Olbermann from studio
TVNewser has an explanation behind why MSNBC's "Countdown" was broadcast from the main MSNBC studio Friday instead of the second floor of the "Today Show" gigs.
Apparently Rockefeller Plaza was playing host to a concert that evening, something that MSNBC wasn't aware of until about an hour before showtime. Olbermann and his crew were forced to pack up and move across the street due to noise "loud enough to wake the dead," an insider told TVNewser.
As any faithful reader knows, I've often belly-ached about Countdown abandoning the fancy camera moves from the channel's days in Secaucus. Although those moves have made their way into "The Rachel Maddow Show," they haven't made a return yet on Olbermann's show.
While camera moves might seem trivial, I always felt they were a big part of what made "Countdown" such an interesting show.

Woman Says That Popeyes Employee Stole Her Credit Card Information

Fast food restaurants are a place where people should feel safe.
They are serving delicious comfort food, after all. But one woman was feeling the opposite of safe recently when her order came with a side of bank fraud.
Since going through the ordeal, she took to TikTok to warn other customers about this potential new scam going around.
This Scary Story Was Shared By TikToker Shanice Campbell (@shanice_campbell0)
TikTok | @shanice_campbell0
She shared her story in response to another TikTok creator who had gone through something similar.
"A month ago, I went to Popeye's after I got off work because everybody was saying they wanted something to eat," she began in her viral video, which has now been viewed more than 147k times.
She Explained That the Cashier Was Taking A Long Time With Her Credit Card
Shanice gave the worker the benefit of the doubt by telling herself that they are overworked and understaffed.
"I'm like maybe it's me just being paranoid, so I'm like OK, whatever," she said in the video. "So, she gave me my card back. I pull off. I park on the side. I lock my card."
Since she banks with the Bank of America, she was able to lock her card in the app.
It's a good thing she did since someone tried to use her card several times the next day.

"If it don't work the first time or the second time, why would you try a third or fourth time? That's dumb," she said.
Not one to play with thieves, she raced on over to that same location and asked to speak to the manager. She told them that someone had taken a picture of her card and was trying to use it on Cash App.
The manager looked at her in confusion. When she asked them to check the cameras, they gave her the runaround. This prompted Shanice to leave a bad review and to share her story online.
People in the Comments Were Shocked
"I just locked my card, because I just used it at the drive thru about an hour ago. I'm doing this from now on. Thank you," one wrote.
Another joked that she would only have enough money on her card for a food combo.
Meanwhile, others encouraged Shanice to call the police, file a report, and make the restaurant check the camera footage.

'Abducted' Idoma girl finally rescued in Sokoto
The efforts of no nonsense Governor Aminu Waziri Tabuwal have paid off as the school girl, Patience Paul, allegedly abducted in Sokoto State and converted to Islam, has been rescued and will be reunited with her parents on Saturday (today).
Her case has generated national interest after that of Ese Oruru, the Bayelsa teenager who was taken to Kano by her "lover" without her parents' consent. Patience's parents had reported her missing since August 12, 2015, with unconfirmed reports suggesting she was kidnapped and taken to the palace of the sultan of Sokoto for forceful conversion.
Aminu Tambuwal, the state governor, ordered investigation into the saga after it became a media item during the week. Patience, who was 14 at the time of her abduction, was found on Friday night at the house of one Malam Ibrahim, who calls himself Sarkin Baki ("king of strangers").
An insider told TheCable: "The Sokoto State Human Rights Commission, along with the team set up by the police, questioned suspects and detained three persons in connection with the issue."
Some hisbah (Sharia police) personnel had taken Patience to an imam in Runjin Sambo area of Sokoto with a claim that she wanted to convert to Islam. "Weighty decision" The imam asked of her age and was told she was 14. He sought the opinion of the Sultanate Council who directed the imam not to proceed because she was underage and could not make such a "weighty decision" yet.
He was instructed to let her go, but the Imam then informed the hisbah. Rather than let her return to her family house, they took her to the Sarkin Baki who claims he provides residence to indigent persons.
The "king of strangers" then kept her in his house since September. Islamic education When investigators met with him Friday night, Patience was seen with his other children and family members. He claimed he adopted the girl because he didn't want to let her be with the hisbah.
He, however, allowed her to be attending both Islamic and government junior secondary school for her education.
A police source told TheCable that when interviewed, Patience claimed she was afraid of returning home because of possible reprisal from her siblings.
The alarm Paul Isaac Adaji, father of the teenager, had raised the alarm about her daughter's disappearance, but it did not gain traction until the case of Oruru started playing out.
Adaji, an Idoma from Ohimini Local Government Area of Benue State, said his daughter was forcefully abducted by hisbah in Gidan Kukah, Runjin Sambo area Sokoto, on August 12, 2015. Tambuwal, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Imam Imam, directed that the matter be investigated. The inspector general of police then took up the matter.

This was some very heartfelt comments from a Coaching Client who is learning the methods of neuroscience and value science in our work together. He is observing how his mind works – how it struggles and how he becomes submissive in this partnership.
We have all experienced this battle in our minds. We can all relate to my client. The question isn't whether we have the battle, but rather, who wins the battle in YOUR mind? Do you allow your thoughts to control your life or are you able to take charge?
In my work with clients, observation is critical for change to occur. Clients learn to detach and step back from their thoughts so they can study and reflect upon what's going on for them. This is not easy. It takes time and practice.
Only from this place, however, is it possible to learn how to choose new thoughts and, hence, choose different actions and manage your emotional response and reactions.
How does the battle in your mind impact you? 95% of the population cannot separate their ideas from their self-worth. What this means is that your thoughts have become 'who you are'. You cannot see the separation of your thinking and YOU.
Scientists estimate that we have anywhere from 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts each day most of which are repetitive, obsessive thoughts. This means that most of our thoughts aren't new; we think the same things over and over again. This process causes us to create neurological connections in our brain – habits of thought – which permit us to function well as human beings, hence our ability to do more than one thing at a time like take a shower and listen to the radio. This is what makes us efficient.
But if those patterns of thought are not helpful and constructive, when left unchecked, they can create cycles of behavior that are unhealthy, producing unwanted results. So these neurological connections – these habits of thought – produce habits of behavior that keep us doing the same things over and over again producing the same results. We just chalk it up to "that's just who I am," and that's why we struggle to change.
But it's not WHO YOU ARE; it's just HOW YOU THINK. It's how the neurological connections in your brain are wired and YES, you can rewire your brain. You can learn new habits. It's what my clients do. You are not your thoughts; you are not your mind. Your mind is a tool for you to use. You partner with it to create your life experience – your reality. And you are responsible for making it your ally rather than your enemy. To see for yourself which thought processes run your life, try the assessment on my website.
Your self-worth should be a function of how you value yourself as a human being. I say "should be" because so often we equate how we feel about ourselves with something else such as our ideas, or our work, material possessions, what we have achieved, our degrees or some other outside thing or role such as being a parent or a spouse.
Self-worth is about the value you have for YOU simply because YOU exist in the world. You have value because YOU ARE. And seeking value or worth anywhere else but within you, within your thoughts, is a waste of time and energy. Yet this is a struggle for most of us.
When you engage in the battle in your mind and you succumb to defeat, this impacts your self-worth as well. You beat yourself up for your same results (again) – the procrastination, the bad feelings, and the impact perhaps it had on other people, missed deadlines, whatever. Your thoughts beat you down and this impacts your ability to see value in YOU because of your actions. It's quite a vicious cycle.
You battle in your mind which feels bad and you feel defeated. Your self-esteem is diminished. This then creates fertile ground for additional battles.
Where does one start? Start with the battle. Observe your thoughts. Take a step back and become more of an observer rather than believing that you and your thoughts are the same. You are so much more than your thoughts! From this place you can start to take baby steps and choose new thoughts. New thoughts will come from reading motivational materials and learning success principles. Challenge your thinking. Question it. Is this thought adding value to you? Does it bring you the actions or produce the results that you want? If not, choose a new thought. Don't be so attached to thinking or believing the things you have just because you've had the same thought or belief for as long as you can remember. They are just thoughts. And you can change them. You can choose to take control and master your thoughts – one habit, one thought, one belief at a time.


I have been photographing Avery's family since her sister was a year old. We have done their photo sessions all over Louisville. They are adorable. Seriously! A picture perfect family. Little Miss Avery just adds to the perfection. She is full of personality and her mama and daddy are going to have their hands full! However, we were able to capture some great photos for them to remember her first Christmas!
See, I told you the perfect little family. Mama does so well on coordinating their clothes. She always knows just what to wear for the photos. And yes, Avery is showing off her personality in the family photos as well.
This was our last family photo of the day, I think that both of the girls were over by now.

The trailer for A Star is Born dropped in June, and in the months since, it's been viewed more than 8.4 million times. And as with anything that's been viewed more than 8.4 million times, it's become excellent fodder for memes.
Oscar buzz has been circling Bradley Cooper's 2018 remake of A Star is Born in which he stars opposite Lady Gaga. Numerous critics gave it rave reviews following a screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, but they aren't the only ones who can't stop talking about it.
People have become obsessed with the movie trailer, spawning roughly a zillion memes. There's even a Twitter account that curates them.
And to be fair, the trailer is...incredible. There's so much packed into its two minutes and 24 seconds. There's passion! There's original music! There's a sun-burned Cooper! There's an emotionally charged (and extremely catchy) song sung by a mesmerizing Gaga! It's all just so meme-worthy.
Here are some of the best A Star is Born memes, starting with this gem of a video from Twitter user Kevin T. Porter. A true masterpiece.
Just think of the influx of memes we can expect once A Star is Born actually hits theaters nationwide October 5.

Brian Eno: Why I'm backing Labour in Kensington
In 2017, Labour won Kensington by just 20 votes. Brian Eno explains why he's backing Emma Dent Coad in the seat - and why voting Lib Dem is 'voting Tory without admitting it'
Labour MP Emma Dent Coad with campaigners in Holland Park.
Red Pepper needs your support. Donate now.
Kensington is arguably the most varied constituency in the whole of the country. It has the widest wealth-spread and one of the most diverse ethnic mixes. In some ways it encapsulates modern Britain in all its aspects – the best and the worst.
For many decades Kensington and Chelsea (as the constituency was until boundary lines were redrawn in 2010) was a safe seat for the Conservatives, partly because so many of them lived here. It must have come as a huge shock to them when Emma Dent Coad took the seat for Labour in 2017.
I voted for Emma in 2017. Because of a mess-up with the mail I didn't get my postal vote form, and it took a very long visit to Kensington Town Hall, just a couple of days before the election, to get the right to vote. Of course I thought, 'Is it really worth all this time?' But when the results came through, and it turned out Emma had won by just 20 votes, I felt very glad I'd persisted.
After nearly three years as our MP, Emma has the advantage of now being known and respected in the community – so she's not starting from such a difficult position as last time. However, she also faces one big obstacle: the Lib Dems have targeted her and are out to defeat her. There is as much chance of the Lib Dems winning this seat as of me becoming centre forward for Manchester United, so their efforts here will primarily have the effect of strengthening the Tories.
Put simply: If Emma loses here, the seat will go to the Tories, not to the Lib Dems. Voting for the Lib Dems might seem to some people like a 'safe' choice. It isn't. It's voting Tory without admitting it.
Why is it important that this seat remains a Labour seat? For the reasons I mentioned at the start: if there is one place in England where many of our social stresses (and triumphs) manifest themselves, it's here. This place could and should be a petri dish for new social policies addressing wealth inequality, interracial harmony, fairer educational opportunity, and – since Grenfell – public housing policy.
It isn't the time to settle back into a 'business as usual' Tory regime that not only fails to deal with such issues but often even fails to notice them. Everyone knows things are no longer working, so to vote for a Tory party whose only promise is not to change anything seems truly perverse.
Kensington must be at the very heart of a courageous Labour experiment to drag this country out of the rich-get-richer neo-feudalism into which it has descended in the post-Thatcher years.
Support Emma! Get out there and vote whatever it takes, and drag your friends along with you. This election is possibly the last chance to set things on to a proper bearing.
Brian Eno is a musician and resident of Kensington.

environmental impact of shale gas
environmetal pollution
gas exploitation
Henk Kamp
Minister of Economic Affairs
Shale Gas in the Netherlands
Minister Henk Kamp of Economic Affairs has put the potential importance of shale gas for the Netherlands into perspective. The production is expected to be at most a few percent of the current conventional natural gas production. The House wants, as soon as possible, a debate with Kamp about the research he wants to conduct on shale gas. "Shale gas flows much less," says Kamp in an interview with the Volkskrant. He tempers with that remark the high expectations that some parties have of shale gas. In particular, the Dutch business community looks enviously at the "industrial renaissance" in the United States, where energy-intensive companies can work much cheaper because of the extraction of shale gas. Kamp estimates that each year between 2 and 4 billion cubic meters of shale gas can be produced out of the Dutch soil. That is only 5 percent of what is now produced in Slochteren and other gas fields. The revenue for the treasury would be a few hundred million euros per year. In 2011, natural gas earned the government more than 12 billion euro. Kamp mentions two major differences with the production of conventional gas, because the layer from which shale gas is extracted is more compact and hence the gas flows less. "For shale gas you need more wells and therefore more drilling rigs. This you have to keep in mind in a densely populated country. In addition, the extraction technique is different and has a potential risk of environmental pollution." Last week the Utrecht water company Vitens warned about the effects of shale gas production. While drilling for shale gas, you have to pierce drinking water supplies. Brabant Water previously made a list of precautions which have to be taken care of. On the other hand, Kamp is also not against shale gas. He anticipates that there may be fractions of shale gas that may be interesting for the petrochemical industry. Municipalities who claim upfront that they will not allow shale gas production, he thinks, are too quick with their decision. "I have never been impressed if someone says clearly 'no or yes' prior to research results. That does not convince me."

NATICK (CBS) – The American Girl store at the Natick Mall, the only one in the Boston area, is closing.
The store, which opened in November 2008, will shut down March 20, the company said in a statement. American Girl will also close it's store in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota on the same day.
