'A Star Is Born' hits theaters next Friday October 5 and as I'm sure you've seen by now,
it stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Gaga is now making the media rounds
and dropping new music in the final days leading up to the film's debut.
Gaga stopped by 'Ellen' Wednesday to talk about the movie and her experience
working with first-time director Cooper.
Another interesting tidbit mother monster shared with Ellen was how quickly she
changed her look following filming. Gaga appears in the movie with darker hair, but
as you can see now is back to her trademark blonde.
Gaga explained the film, especially the end, demanded such tremendous emotion
and tragedy - she desperately wanted to get her character, Ally, out of her
but did admit, there's still a small piece of the role still inside the pop superstar.
From 'Ellen' to new music, Gaga premiered her Cooper-duet "Shallow" on Zane Lowe's
Apple Music Beats 1 radio show Thursday and we've got a clip for you to check out….
The track is set to appear on the motion picture soundtrack due out the same day as
the film - October 5 but will be joined by tracks like "Maybe It's Time," and
"I'll Never Love Again." To check out the Ellen clip and song in full -
head to billboard.com. Until next time, for Billboard News - I'm Kevan Kenney.

What is an Investment Services Broker? Top 5 Questions, Answered - Duration: 3:57.
- Hey, I'm Will Wyatt, a broker
with AQUILA Investment Services.
Today, we're going to to talk
about real estate investment services
and hopefully I can answer any questions you may have today.
(instrumental music)
Basically, an investment services broker
is gonna help you buy or sell a property.
We can help you sell a property,
we can also help you identify and purchase a property
whether it'd be land, office, industrial, or multi-family,
we'll help you find the best value for your property.
(instrumental music)
Anyone looking to sell or purchase property in central Texas
should be using an investment services broker.
We work across all product types.
I primarily focus in land site selection work
when it comes to buyers, normally, I'm
focusing on office, multi-family,
and industrial type assets.
No matter where you are on the spectrum,
we can help you identify a property that works best for you.
Whether you're buying or selling a property,
it's always good to connect
with the investment services broker sooner than later.
Everybody knows Austin is hot right now,
and the last thing you wanna do,
is be on the outside looking in,
so the sooner you can get us involved in the process,
the quicker we can find an opportunity for you.
Even if you're not ready to buy or sell your property,
it's always good to connect with investment services broker.
It's better for you to involve us early,
so we can learn and create, identify strategies,
that can help maximize the value of your property.
You simply, you just want somebody,
that knows what they're doing.
Purchasing a commercial property isn't a easy process,
just trying to identify a property purchase
is difficult too, so it's always good
to have investment services broker on your side to help you
along the way through the process,
and make things a little bit simpler and easier for you.
Most investment services brokers are specialists.
We can provide more value than just the transaction itself.
When it comes to sellers, we know the market,
and we can provide creative strategies that help you
increase the value of your property.
We market the property on all major listing services
with up-to-date, appealing marketing material
produced by graphic designers
and professional photographers.
We even sometimes include aerial-drone shots
in virtual tools.
For buyers, discovering opportunities that
aren't really easily seen without the help of brokers,
is what we do, and quite frankly,
it's one of our greatest assets,
our ability to find off-market opportunities.
Here at Aquila, we have one
of the best marketing research departments
in the entire city.
What that allows us to do for our buyers
is to provide up-to-date intel,
that helps them understand the value of a property.
We never want our buyers to pay more than they have to.
(instrumental music)
it is important to know that a broker
is not paid until a property transacts.
In Austin, brokers are generally paid a fee by the seller.
This fee is generally calculated as a percentage
of the fee of the sales price.
Brokerage fees for the sale of property,
vary from market-to-market.
In Austin, a typical fee varies based
on the final price and the type of asset.
For improved properties such as existing office, retail,
and industrial buildings, the commission generally
ranges from two to six percent depending on the sale price.
The higher the sale price, the lower the percentage.
For land, the fees range from three to six percent,
again depending on the sales price,
and sometimes there are exceptions to this,
but typically those are negotiated in the listing agreement.
I hope this answer your questions
about Aquila investment services.
If you have any more questions, definitely reach out,
or you can visit our AQUILA Learning Center.
Looking forward to talking to you soon,
and remember, no one knows Austin better than AQUILA.

Learn how Rockets of Awesome is using our Commerce Services Complete Fulfillment, Delivery & Returns - Duration: 1:54.
So Rockets of Awesome is a personal shopping service, and vertical apparel brand for kids.
what that means is that we have a design team in our office in New York City that is designing
a full apparel line for boys and girls, sizes three to 12
so the opportunity that we see in the market is that, it's a $45 billion market in the US
and it was really important for us that we delivered that trifecta of style and quality and value.
And so, what we recognized was that kids are growing out of their clothes
we're replacing an entire dresser for our kids every season. And so,
could we take the preferences from their kids and from the parents and be able to deliver
a personalized assortment of clothes into our customers' homes at the beginning of every season?
the end to end experience for the customer is critical. It's what we obsess over. And
we wanted to make sure that the return process was also as seamless as possible.
you know, ultimately, what we're trying to do Pitney Bowes and with Newgistics
with them as partners, how do we do that seamlessly? How do we do it efficiently?
and really optimizing for the time
that it takes a product to get out and then back to the warehouse so that
we can use any products that customers return that are returned in
perfect quality to go out to the next customer.
we actually couldn't deliver that feature to our customer before they were a partner.
so working with Newgistics, now Pitney Bowes, has been
really seamless and kind of magical.
You know, I think that as a team, we have a full team meeting every week and
you know months in, one month in, six months in
really looking to them as such tremendous partners who have
not only made our operations much more seamless,
, but made our customers experience really exceptional.

Dalvin Cook Fantasy: Is the Vikings RB a Start or Sit vs. Rams? | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:41.
Dalvin Cook Fantasy: Is the Vikings RB a Start or Sit vs. Rams? | Heavy.com
Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has fantasy football owners in a tough spot.
Fantasy football owners will have their hands full this week when attempting to figure out what to do with Dalvin Cook.
The Minnesota Vikings' talented second-year running back missed Week 3 due to a hamstring injury, and his Week 4 status for Thursday Night Football remains up in the air.
Update.
Following the report from earlier in the week that Cook took part in practice, ESPN's Adam Schefter offered an update on gameday.
As the analyst revealed, the team is "otpimistic" that Cook will play against the Rams.
This is a great sign for his Week 4 availability against the Los Angeles Rams, but that doesn't make him an instant-starter in season-long fantasy leagues.
Let's take a look at the argument for both sides and offer up a consensus.
The Argument for Starting Dalvin Cook.
Sometimes, talent just trumps everything.
Cook's pass-catching makes him an incredibly intriguing play in most formats, as the Rams have allowed 24 catches to opposing running backs through three weeks.
If Cook is all systems go, he should see plenty of targets coming his way in the passing game.
And while this season's numbers haven't been overwhelmingly impressive, the 23-year-old was impressive in the four games he played last year.
Over that stretch, Cook was a workhorse with 74 carries for 354 yards and two touchdowns.
The upside is unquestionably there, but it's not as simple as just going off that.
The Argument for Sitting Dalvin Cook.
There are some reasons for concern after Cook's start to the 2018 NFL season.
The Vikings running back is coming off a torn ACL last season and has totaled 26 carries for 78 yards (30 yards per carry) through the two games he played.
With that said, he did manage to catch nine passes for 107 yards.
In this specific instance, the negatives outweigh the positives in a big way for fantasy football owners.
Not only has Cook struggled this season, but hamstring injuries are nothing to mess around with.
Just last week, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was expected to play but was held out in somewhat of a surprising decision.
Even if the Vikings do start Cook, one tweak could send him to the sidelines not only for this game but for a few additional weeks.
It's unlikely the team wants to risk that, so they could opt to play it safe.
Going beyond the actual injury, the numbers don't favor the Vikings running back in this matchup.
Aside from the pass-catching opportunities, the Rams have allowed just 96.7 rushing yards per game (No.
9 in the league) and two rushing touchdowns.
It's a tough matchup for Cook, and with the Rams boasting a high-scoring offense, Minnesota could be forced to throw early and often.
Consensus.
If Cook is cleared to play, I'm fine using him in daily fantasy games, such as DraftKings' showdown options.
But in season-long leagues, unless you have no one even remotely close to him in upside, I'd try to find another option.
Cook has the potential to put all the stats and numbers aside and just dominate, but with the matchup and injury together, it's a scary spot.
In 12-team leagues with flex and 14-teamers, I can understand rolling him out in your starting lineup.
But beyond that, I think playing it safe with the Vikings back and treading lightly Thursday is the smart move.

1 What is Accountability - Duration: 5:02.
SHANNON: Domestic violence movements and
anti-violence movements broadly have really struggled in: what do we do with people
who do harm? What do we do with people who rape people? What do we do with
people who batter people? What do we do with people who do those kinds of harms
to other people? The criminal legal system is crushing my communities, is
crushing our communities, and people want, are hungry for other mechanisms for,
someone has done harm, how do you reasonably help that person to be
responsible for that harm without putting them into a system that's
crushing them and their communities?
KIYOMI: So I'm wondering if you could just start by
telling me, What do we mean when we talk about accountability?
It's a big word that gets thrown around a lot.
SHANNON: The definition that I use,
that actually was gifted to me from the Northwest Network, is taking
responsibility for your choices and the consequences of those choices. And so
accountability is one tool for figuring out, if you do something that's outside
your values, if you do something that is, you know, harmful to other humans, what do
you do about that? So we need to figure out what are what I call reasonable or
appropriate, proportional consequences for people who do harm? What I'll often say
is like, there's no batterers' island. There's no island where you send all the
people who do harm and then you don't have to think about them. When you kick somebody
who has battered someone, who's assaulted somebody out of your communities, they
just go to the next community and continue to do harm. Which doesn't mean
each of us individually has to take responsibility for the harm someone else
does. But as communities broadly, we have to be coming up with solutions, and
coming up with ways to support people who are doing harm in how to knock it
off and take responsibility for the harm
that they've done. What would be reasonable and appropriate consequences
for people who do harm, short of, you know, kicking them out being sort of our
primary tool? All human beings deserve to have their need basic needs met. You may
not get to be in leadership. You may not get to be at the front of the movement. You
may not get to, there may be things you don't get to do, or at least for a very,
very long time if you have done harm to other folks. A lot of social justice
communities have a lot of visions of the world we want and the thing that keeps
getting in the way, I've seen time and time again, is our ability to actually
interact with each other. Like how do we organize groups
of people tends to continue to get in the way of that, or continues to be a
thing that breaks down movements. Thinking about accountability, both self
accountability and accountability on a community level, actually helps
us start to provide some of those answers and those tools.
KIYOMI: I've heard the network talk a lot about how accountability isn't something that happens to
a bad person, right? And that it could be a practice that we all sort of take in.
Can you talk about sort of that shift from community accountability as an idea
of something that happens to someone, to accountable communities where our
communities are actually showing up for us?
SHANNON: The idea behind accountable
communities is shifting the focus from community accountability, which tends to
have this idea that like, we're all going to come together and support you to be
accountable, to the idea that we are going to create environments where it is
possible to be accountable. So where community accountability is saying like,
you know, what are you gonna do? Accountable communities say what am I
going to do to support my community to have what we need to make accountability
a robust, viable option for people? I think about this with, almost any time
there is a public figure who's a part of my communities or who's, you know, in
relationship to my communities who has been accused of doing harm, sexual or
domestic violence specifically, how could we create a space that would allow those
people to genuinely take responsibility for the harm they've done and have a
reasonable consequence? Because right now the consequences are potentially like, go
to jail, be ostracized, have everybody just kind of like want to
crush you, or just or at the very least just like isolate you. Human beings
need other humans. And so those are the fears that what people who have done harm are
dealing with. And so it would be very hard, even if you genuinely were like, I
did something wrong and I need to be responsible for it, it would be very hard
to publicly do that without any sense of that there's something that you could do
that would be proportional and right-sized. So that might be quitting
your job. That might be, you know, finding another place to live. There may
may be real action you need to take. We are not going
to move forward in ending domestic violence and sexual assault without this
key piece of what do we do with, what do we do for, how do we support people
who've done harm in being accountable.

If God is Sovereign, Why Pray? | Why Prayer Matters - Duration: 7:48.
- So the goal is not to impose my will on God,
but to pray in a way that agrees with His will
and then watch as He works through those means
that He's ordained, to do what He has determined to do.
(energetic music)
- Welcome back to the Straight Truth Podcast,
I'm your host Josh Philpot
and we're glad you've joined us today.
As always, I'm joined by Richard Caldwell, the pastor
of Founder's Baptist Church
and our special guest today is Dr. Nicolas Ellen,
a senior professor at the College of Biblical Studies
and also pastor at Community of Faith Bible Church.
As always please leave a comment for us
in the comments section and do us a favor, and please go
to the iTunes podcast section and leave us a review.
Well when we read through the Scriptures, we read
about a God who is sovereign over all things
and His providence guides all of our actions
and our ways, according to the Scriptures.
And it seems that the Bible is firm in this doctrine
that God is absolutely sovereign,
and it's His delight to be sovereign
for the good of His people and for His creation.
And yet there is this thing that kinda comes in
on the side, which is that He also instructs those
who would follow Him to pray, and that He hears our prayers,
our requests that we make.
Our petitions to God and He listens, and that He will act.
He commands us to pray, even Jesus gives us
a model for how to pray.
So I wonder how you guys reconcile those two things,
how do we reconcile the fact that we have a sovereign
God, who governs all things and also that we have to pray.
- The sovereign God who governs all things,
has sovereignly determined to work through means.
And prayer is one of those means that God has chosen
to work through, so I could say,
and it would be accurate to say,
sovereign God provides the meals
that my family enjoys everyday.
It would also be right to say that He's ordained
to supply for us in that way as I go to work
and earn money that we're going to use to spend
on that food, He is ordained to work through
the means of people planting fields
and harvesting crops and in this way he feeds people.
So God has chosen to work through sunshine and rain
and all different ways in supplying for His creation,
so in the same sort of way God who's determined
to do what He's going to do is determined
to work through prayer and prayer therefore really matters.
I mean if I sit in my home today and go
God is sovereignly promised to feed me,
I'm not going to work, we're not going to the grocery store.
No one's gonna work in the fields
and grow any crops, God's gonna feed me,
I'm gonna starve because I've misunderstood
how sovereign God has chosen to work.
In the same sort of way if I live a prayerless life,
I'm gonna experience some spiritual starvation
because that is not how God has determined to work.
So that's one aspect of my thinking on it,
the other would be, I think we misunderstand
sometimes what prayer's about.
It's not about changing the mind of God,
It's about getting our minds and hearts in the position
where we agree with God.
We're actually praying in the name of Jesus
we're praying in agreement with God,
His truth, His word, His character, His will.
If we ask anything according to His will,
we know we have it so the goal is not to impose my will
on God but to pray in a way
that agrees with His will and then watch
as He works through those means that He's ordained
to do what He has determined to do.
It is the knowledge that God is sovereign in everything
that actually fuels prayer
because now the very one who has the all wisdom
and all power, and is always present
has invited me and commanded me to come to Him
and He promises to answer, so I'm not dealing
with somebody who may not hear me, He hears me.
I'm not dealing with someone who can't do anything
about what I'm asking about, He possesses all power.
I'm not dealing with someone who doesn't care,
He's commanded me to come, I mean I have assurance
in the matter of prayer so this fuels my prayer life.
So to me it's not a problem.
It's a joy that we're talking about.
Sovereign God commands me to come to Him
and He's promised to work through that process
to accomplish what's He's determined to do in His world.
- [Josh] Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- I think that the key to that is,
seeing Richard's perspective on that is
that God's sovereignty does not negate our responsibility
- [Josh] Right
- And where people focus on the sovereignty of God
and negate their responsibility,
they misunderstand the sovereignty of God.
- Mm-hmm.
- When it comes to prayer, and I like what Richard said
lining up with God's will, well think about it this way,
if there's a sovereign God who's in control of all things
and this sovereign God is giving me the responsibility
to pray and those things work together, I might wanna know
more about the character and the will of this God
so then my prayers begin to come in tune with Him.
It's kind of like, I liken it to when I was a child.
I knew what to ask and what not to ask for
because I knew the nature of my parents,
so therefore I knew, well, that won't fly.
(John affirms)
Because it doesn't line up with their standards,
their values, their virtues, well if I ask for this
that will fly, but I had to learn my parents in order
for me to understand how to ask and the fact that
I'm to ask for what I want from God,
but in tune with what He's willing to do according
to His character and standards, it's powerful.
So prayer becomes an opportunity for me to exercise
my responsibility but to learn the character of God
and process to say, ah, my faithful sufficient holy God.
If I were to ask for blank, this doesn't seem to line up
with who He is, let me rethink my position
of what I'm asking for and why,
knowing the God that I serve cares.
- That's excellent Nick, and it reminds us that prayer
is one way that God has ordained to sanctify us.
- [Nicolas] Yes.
- So we're learning what God loves, we're learning
what He cares about, what He approves of and we're
to learn it in such a way that we then love what he loves.
- Yes. - We care about
what He cares about, that's why the effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man avails much.
- [Nicolas] Amen, yes
- So even our affections are to be involved
in genuine prayer, it's not just our mind but our hearts
coming in agreement with what God loves and cares about.
And if we ever wonder whether this is important,
just look at the life of our Savior, who devoted Himself
to prayer entirely through the night in some cases.
- [Nicolas] Absolutely.
- Before He made major choices or major decisions
so in every way we're encouraged to seek our God in prayer.
