Italian rock band Måneskin (who famously won Eurovision in 2021, NBD) truly knew what they were doing when they released “Supermodel.” One of the biggest bops of the summer, the pop-rock track-which was produced by musical icon Max Martin-describes a captivating partygoer who's preeeeetty hard to get, to say the least. ![]() ![]() ![]() Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you in advance.

Sid Meier's Civilization V: The Complete Edition is the definitive Civilization V collection that features all of the Civilization V expansion packs and DLCs. This sucks! Does anyone have any solutions to this problem, or encountered this problem themselves and fixed it? I went to the shop where I bought the game and they said there's nothing they can do. When I insert the DVD, the only three options I get are 1) Play Civilization V, 2) Reinstall Civilization V, 3) Uninstall Civilization V. Seems as though the actual DLC does not even exist on the DVD. I've verified the files from Steam, slapped the monitor - nothing works. The Complete Edition includes the original 2010 Game of the Year award-winning strategy game Sid Meiers Civilization V, plus the two critically-acclaimed.

I've contacted 2k support but since this game has been out for a while I don't expect a Civilization V issue to be very high on their 'to-do' list. I've read many troubleshooting guides from Steam, read many forums but none seem to have this issue and the threads I've seen where there was a similar issue, the solution for them didn't work for me. Some DLC did install, but that's just small stuff like using other civilizations and a couple of scenarios and map packs. Turns out 'K&G' and 'BNW' didn't install. ![]() I eventually watched a YouTube clip of someone playing Civilization 5 on Deity (Marbozir is his handle) and noticed my game was WAY different and was missing A LOT of stuff. Started playing and loved it, but I felt as though it was a lot simpler than I thought it should be. Which are the best leaders in Civ 5 Fans of the Civilization series know that no strategy is good for more than a month before players catch on, patches balance the game, and DLCs and expansions flip the script. Followed all the prompts and everything set up easy. Updated After plenty of updates, Sid Meiers Civilization V has settled on a definitive tier list. So I finally got round to purchasing this edition (Civilization V, Kings & Gods, Brave New World all in one) and installed.

The band-tailed pigeon is the closest genetic relative of the passenger pigeon and has been investigated for being used in efforts to bring back that extinct species. The parasitic louse Columbicola extinctus, believed to have become extinct with the extinction of the passenger pigeon, was recently rediscovered on the band-tailed pigeon. With the introduction of English Holly and English Ivy, two popular plants in landscaping in western North America, the bird is found in persistent numbers in suburban areas now as well. In addition to acorns and other seeds, the band-tailed pigeon will seasonally consume fruits such as Pacific madrona and Toyon berries. They commonly congregate at and drink from mineral springs, although it is not fully understood why. Outside the breeding season, it forms flocks, sometimes over 50 birds, and often becomes nomadic, following the acorn crop or moving to lower altitudes or other areas outside its breeding range. It builds a rudimentary platform nest out of twigs, in which it lays one or two eggs. It also makes a variety of harsh squawking sounds for a variety of reasons. Its voice is low-pitched and owl-like, often in two-syllable calls that rise and then fall ( huu-ooh) with even spacing between calls. This species is relatively quiet for a pigeon. It feeds on seeds, notably acorns, as well as berries and small fruits. It is found from almost sea level to 3,600 m (12,000 ft), generally in oak, pine-oak, and coniferous forests. In autumn it migrates out of its permanent resident range into northern California, New Mexico, and parts of Utah and Colorado. It ranges from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, and southern Arizona south in higher elevations through Mexico and Central America to northern Argentina. There are at least 8 sub-species, and some authorities split this species into the northern band-tailed pigeon ( Patagioenas fasciata) and the southern band-tailed pigeon ( Patagioenas albilinea). Its closest relatives are the Chilean pigeon and the ring-tailed pigeon, which form a clade of Patagioenas with a terminal tail band and iridescent plumage on their necks.
