The conventional medical management of emphysema using bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory agents has a limited benefit in patients having advanced hyperinflation of lungs due to destruction of elastic tissue. The natural course of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been shown to be altered by only smoking cessation and oxygen therapy so far. The lung volume reduction surgery is viewed as another modality to change the natural history of emphysema in recent years. For patients with more generalized emphysema, resection of lung parenchyma improves elastic recoil and chest wall mechanics. An extensive literature search has demonstrated that carefully selected patients of emphysema (i.e. upper lobe predominant disease, low exercise capacity and Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1) and DLco ≤ 20% of predicted) receive benefits in terms of symptomatic improvement and physiologic response following Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS). The resurgent interest in LVRS and National Emphysema Treatment Trial findings for emphysema have stimulated a range of innovative methods, to improve the outcome and reduce complications associated with current LVRS techniques. These novel approaches include surgical resection with compression/banding devices, endobronchial blockers, sealants, obstructing devices & valves and endobronchial bronchial bypass approaches. Experimental data and preliminary results are becoming available for some of these approaches. Most of the published studies so far have been uncontrolled and unblinded. Overall, extensive research in the near future will help to determine the potential clinical applicability of these new approaches to the treatment of emphysema symptoms.

After dealing with some of his own legal troubles, singer/rapper T-Pain is now bringing forth his own lawsuit. According to The Blast, Pain filed a massive $1 million dollar lawsuit against his former manager and management company. He claims the company was taking higher commissions than they were contractually entitled to. Now T-Pain wants his money back, plus damages.
The singer first signed to the management company in 2005. At the time, the talent agency agreed to take 20 percent commission from all of his music and endorsement deals. T-Pain claims they did not honor this agreement at all in the following years.
T-Pain now seeks $1 million in damages and back pay for the past owed commissions he had paid up since 2005.


Poker: Could the Meadowlands racetrack close up shop? Heaven forbid!
Could the Meadowlands racetrack close up shop? Heaven forbid!
There are some words you never expect to hear in the same sentence, and I heard two of them last week.
"Doomed" and "the Meadowlands" do not normally fit in the same sentence, but the man who runs racing at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, Dennis Dowd, spoke them to a subcommittee in the hope its members might convince New Jersey governor Jon Corzine to use his weight to break the grip Atlantic City's casinos have on slots in the Garden State.
Dowd said that if the present $80 million subsidy paid by the beach casinos is not renewed and enlarged when it expires at the end of December, or if the tracks don't get slots, "racing in New Jersey wouldn't last three years."
It is not likely that the A.C. casinos, down for the first time in their 19-year history, will greet an extension with open arms. But it is not inconceivable. With a proper split of proceeds for them and the tracks, there could be action.
A Corzine spokesman, Brenan Dilfillan, said, "The governor has been and remains committed to make horse racing a competitive and exciting industry in New Jersey. He recognizes the need to stabilize the financial competitiveness of the state's racetracks, and we are working expeditiously to develop a multidimensional solution to this problem.
New Jersey and its big dual breed track, the Meadowlands, home to runners and this country's best harness racing meeting; and its' seaside beauty Monmouth Park where this year's Breeders' Cup thoroughbred events will be raced, are in the direct path of two tornados.
Aqueduct will have slots in another year or two, and Pennsylvania already has them. The Meadows, the harness track whose gaming is controlled by Cannery Casino, also spoke to a legislative committee last week through its top man, Bill Paulos. He told a Pennsylvania House Gaming Oversight Committee that despite the fact that The Meadows recorded $52 million in revenue in its first 81 days, the advent of table games at tracks in nearby West Virginia meant that Pennsylvanians would soon leave the state again to gamble elsewhere.
Shortly after Paulos spoke, a state representative, Bill DeWeese, discussed a bill he co-authored that would permit blackjack and craps at the 14 slot parlors in Pennsylvania, some still merely on paper. DeWeese said his bill is not on a fast track, and added, "Nor should it be." He said he expects much debate. But he felt table games could "drastically slash" school property taxes.
New Jersey's troubles go farther. The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission resolved the conflict between Centaur Inc. of Indianapolis and Carmen Shick's Bedford Downs — the two warring groups seeking the state's last harness racing license, and thus its last racino — with a Solomonic solution.
The commission awarded the license to Centaur, following an agreement in which Shick will sell Centaur his desirable property where he planned to build Bedford Downs. Instead of operating the track and racino, Shick will develop hotels and shops on the grounds, but will not participate in the gaming operation.
The commission earlier had denied Centaur a license for its Valley View Downs because it did not like the site. It did like Bedford Downs' site but did not like some ancient family history. So Valley View takes over Bedford Downs' site, and they live happily ever after.


As I write this it is 8.35pm on 16 September and AIG is still solvent. By the time the magazine is published, it is very possible that AIG will have a different structure and the financial world as I know it tonight may have changed even more than it has in the past day.
This morning I attended a PR meeting for a high-profile industry body, where a group of senior actuaries discussed how the demise of Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch may impact the communities in which actuaries work. I confess we couldn't find words to express a view as to the short-term impact of the events of yesterday.
The long-term impact of 15 September 2008 is beyond any confident prediction that an actuary could reasonably have made. Yesterday was an outlier, on the edge of the funnel of doubt which, like Hurricane Ike, unexpectedly came to town.
When outlier events happen in the financial community the public must question whether actuaries, and economists, who hold the other side of the crystal ball, add anything to the mix. As an actuary, I can't predict the future but I know that I hold a valuable qualification which enables me to assist companies and trustees in managing risks and I can provide my clients with comfort when events unfold that are out of our hands.
The letters, phone calls and contributions we receive at The Actuary indicate that my views are not unique. Our letter of the month tells of how one actuary is bringing his skills to a commercial bank while, outside the profession, author and quantitative analyst, Paul Wilmott, calls on actuaries to bring some common sense back into his field (see page 10). There is talk in the press of a new financial architecture and, echoing Ronnie Bowie's comments on page 6, I believe that actuaries are very able to help build it. Only time will show us the long-term effects of 15 September 2008. However, the short-term is happening now, unfolding around us day by day and we are arguably the best placed profession to mould it, and guide our clients along the way.

In 1927, four gentlemen from Italy, Earl Aymo Maggi, Earl Franco Mazzotti, Lorenzo Castagneto, and Giovanni Canestrini, came up with an idea for a new kind of road race. This aristocrat, banker, driver, and journalist founded a 1000-mile motor race that would stretch from the historic city of Brescia to the capital of Rome and back. They named the race the Mille Miglia, or thousand mile race.
Automobile manufacturers from all over Europe manufactured sports cars to win Mille Miglia and the French Le Mans 24-hours race, with improvements in technology increasing the speed of the race improving over time. In 1955, a British driver, Sir Sterling Moss, ran the 1,000 mile race in 10 hours, setting a speed record for the race. As drivers pushed to break this record, the risk to drivers and spectators increased. In 1957, a number of people were killed when a Ferrari driver Count De Portago ran into roadside spectators watching the race. The Italian government suspended the Mille Miglia that same year. Thanks to citizens of Brescia who wanted to revive the race, the Mille Miglia was revived on the old course with speed limits in 1977. Today, the Mille Miglia is the world's most diverse classic car festival with drivers participating from over 35 countries.
In 1992, a classic car festival modelled after the original Mille Miglia began in Japan. La Festa Mille Miglia (Mille Miglia Festival) was established with help from the organizing committee from the Italian event. A resounding successes, the inaugural event attracted 50 cars from 25 countries. Commemorating the seventieth anniversary of the first Mille Miglia, La Festa Mille Miglia was recognized by the International Classic Car Federation as the sister event to the Italian Mille Miglia. This year, we will celebrate the twentieth year of the founding of the La Festa Mille Miglia.
Our event promotes the "treasuring of antiques", "remaining youthful at heart," and the "expansion of a feeling of friendship among participants". We also see the La Festa Mille Miglia as a means of promoting the proper maintenance and driving of classic cars for the roadside spectators that come to see the event. It is our hope that we that we can "spread joy" through the car culture of our event.
Organizing Committee of "La Festa Mille Miglia 2017"

There are still spots - come and be part of something as cool as this!
If you can't come but feel it's a worthy endeavorer - please share as wide as possible!
The newer version of the master plan is up but I couldn't figure out a way to edit the original post, so here it is.
We're about 2.5 - 3 hours away from Pt.C., 40 mins North from Tampa. Let me know if you want to visit please!
No staff yet - are you interested in becoming a resident expert? Personally, I'm a big fan of earthbag structures but it's all good, AFAIC. Living on site is a bit tricky - this is not a commune, it's a farm incubator ... but there will be a few core group people, sure. There is no buy in - all renters are independent enterprises. They're part of the community in terms of participation in self-governance but economically speaking the only thing they owe to BSF is rent. Does it make sense?
Perfect environment to learn about permaculture?
I want to say thank you to all who filled out the surveys - your opinion is already shaping the new EDC, thanks! However, there is a big problem - 75% of people who responded are males! Ladies, seriously? We're not going to hear your perspective? And then you go and complain to Paul about being underrepresented? Tell us what you want, please!
Is it safe to grow edibles over a septic drain field?
And the problem with trees and shrubs on the drain field is that their roots will destroy it in few to several years ... I spent some time researching it but couldn't come up with anything really except for pasture/chickens or bamboo.
We'll have a workshop in March to design the Education and Demonstration Center (#2 on the plan) and I'll put the detailed plan here when it's ready.
As some of you know, we're currently in the process of designing Big Small Farm - a non-profit farm incubator in Central Florida and the next step is to design the Education and Demonstration Center area. In order to do it better we want to understand what teachers and students want to have available during the class, what's important, etc., so I put together these 2 little surveys - one for students and one for teachers). They both are very short and anonymous - please take them if you have a few minutes or just leave you suggestions in this thread. Not only it'll be very much appreciated but (who knows?) you may be teaching or studying in our EDC one day ... do yourself a favor and tell us how we can make it better for you!
P.S. I've also posted a link to the master plan here if you're interested.

Lehigh Valley Phantoms forward Mike Vecchione will be taking part in the American Cancer Society's Real Men Wear Pink Campaign this year in order to help raise awareness and fight breast cancer.
"Breast cancer affects everyone, it doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman," Vecchione said. "That's why I'm stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I'm in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I'm helping to save more lives from breast cancer.
The Real Men Wear Pink Campaign is designed to give men a leadership role in the fight against breast cancer. Men around the nation will use the power of pink to raise awareness and money for the American Cancer Society's breast cancer initiatives, including innovative research, patient services, and education around screenings and risk reduction.
As the Phantoms did this past season, the team will again be partnering with the American Cancer Society for their annual Pink in the Rink night on Wednesday, December 7. The ACS will also be offering autographed mystery pucks during select home games during the month of October with the proceeds benefiting Vecchione's Real Men Wear Pink Campaign.
You can assist Vecchione by donating to his cause via his page by clicking on the link HERE.

A year 10 student was so concerned Muslim students might feel vulnerable after the Paris attacks she started a campaign of solidarity.
Wellington East Girls' College student Ivana Emer, 15, was inspired to change her topic for a social studies assignment to looking at how Muslims were treated after terrorist attacks. After reading articles about the effects of the attacks on Muslims, Ivana made posters with the words "We Stand With You" and pinned them up around the school. She encouraged students to send her pictures of themselves with the posters, and received about 25 photos with 50 students in them. Read the article at stuff.co.nz.

Jeffrey Immelt, the longtime boss at General Electric Co., was a polished presenter who held court each year at a waterfront resort off Sarasota, Fla., where industrial executives and Wall Street listened for his outlook on the conglomerate.
On that Wednesday morning, though, he looked shaky to some people in attendance, running quickly through highlights of 27 slides in the ballroom of the Resort at Longboat Key Club. He defended his long-held 2018 profit goal, an optimistic benchmark Wall Street had long abandoned.
It was a mismatch. On that day, GE shares were trading near $28. They would go on to collapse over the next six months while the stock market set fresh records.
Today, they trade below $15. GE's precipitous fall, following years of treading water while the overall economy grew, was exacerbated, some insiders say, by what they call "success theater." Mr. Immelt and his top deputies projected an optimism about GE's business and its future that didn't always match the reality of its operations or its markets, according to more than a dozen current and former executives, investors and people close to the company.
This culture of confidence trickled down the ranks and even affected how those gunning to succeed Mr. Immelt ran their business units, some of these people said, with consequences that included unreachable financial targets, mistimed bets on markets and sometimes poor decisions on how to deploy cash.
Within weeks of the May meeting, Mr. Immelt announced his retirement. By year-end, GE under a new leader had cut its dividend in half and triggered a restructuring that is expected to eliminate thousands of jobs and cast off more than $20 billion worth of assets. Today, federal regulators are examining GE's accounting for certain transactions, and new CEO John Flannery is considering breaking up the 125-year-old company.
The tumble is all the more stark for a company that embodied the managerial success of American business and its industrial power. GE once had the highest market value of any U.S. corporation. Its alumni have gone on to run companies such as Boeing and Chrysler.
Few knew just how badly ailing the American icon was. Even GE's board didn't realize the depth of problems in the biggest division, GE Power, until months after directors had replaced Mr. Immelt, according to people familiar with the matter. For the 2017 fourth quarter, GE reported lower revenue and, after a charge related to a review of its insurance business, a loss of nearly $10 billion.
"Many of us are in some level of shock," said a former director.
Investigations are under way inside GE, including at the board level, seeking to determine how it all happened, some of the people said.
Several GE executives were aware the 2018 profit goal of $2 a share wasn't realistic, they said, and some were surprised Mr. Immelt stuck to it at the May event.
Gas turbines, seen under assembly in Greenville, S.C., are a big business sector for GE but one that has struggled.
But Mr. Immelt didn't like hearing bad news, said several executives who worked with him, and didn't like delivering bad news, either. He wanted people to make their sales and financial targets and thought he could make the numbers, too, they said.
The optimism was evident in how Mr. Immelt and the board used the company's cash. Over the past three years, GE spent more than $29 billion on share repurchases, at an average price of almost $30, twice the current level. That included billions of dollars spent less than a year before GE suddenly found itself strapped for cash last fall.
Mr. Immelt won applause from those who believed in him. Trian Fund Management LP, which invested $2.5 billion in GE in 2015, wanted it to buy back even more stock. The activist investor urged the company to borrow $20 billion for repurchases (which it didn't do), based on a belief that the profits Mr. Immelt was promising would send the stock soaring when they arrived.
Instead, at Mr. Immelt's retirement in August the stock was below its level when he took over 16 years earlier. Including dividends, GE gained 8% with Mr. Immelt at the helm, while the S&P 500 rose 214%. Since he stepped down, the stock has lost about 43%, erasing almost $94 billion in market value. The relationship with Trian deteriorated last year and the investor successfully pushed for a board seat to assert influence.
Mr. Immelt's successor, Mr. Flannery, was one of his lieutenants, a 30-year GE veteran. In November, Mr. Flannery slashed the 2018 financial targets his former boss had stuck with a few months earlier. Instead of $2 a share GE now projects $1 to $1.07. Gone now are most of Mr. Immelt's team, including his finance chief and head of the power division.
Several directors discussed in November whether the entire board should be fired, according to people familiar with the meeting. Instead, what had been an 18-person board will lose half its members but soon add three new directors in coming months.
Mr. Immelt's predecessor, Jack Welch, delivered steady profit growth and sent shares soaring in the 1980s and '90s by striking deals and aggressively slashing costs and jobs. Mr. Welch also built up a huge lending business called GE Capital that for years generated outsize profits—but nearly sank the company during the financial crisis on Mr. Immelt's watch.
When GE later sold most of GE Capital, Mr. Immelt laid out a strategy in which the industrial businesses would grow enough to offset the lost cash flow from the financial unit, so that GE's long-term financial projections and dividend were sustainable. It didn't work out that way. Free cash flow wasn't sufficient to cover the dividend for years.
During his tenure, Mr. Immelt ramped up research spending and hired thousands of programmers to develop software for the machinery GE makes. Results were strong at two of GE's big units, aviation and health care (medical equipment). But sales and profits slumped at the enlarged oil and power units, creating serious problems.
Starting early in his tenure, Mr. Immelt bet heavily on the energy boom. Acquiring companies that help drillers pump and transport fuel, he had GE spend more than $14 billion over 10 years, most of it based on higher oil prices than today's.
He also spent more than $10 billion to scoop up assets from a turbine rival, a transaction that closed just as that market was cooling. The deal was a 2014 agreement to acquire Alstom SA's power business, one of GE's biggest industrial acquisitions and a key part of Mr. Immelt's strategy.
Mr. Flannery, then in charge of business development, favored the deal. "The power sector is core to GE's future and it has excellent long-term growth prospects," he said after the 2014 announcement. Now the new CEO says the price was too high.
The acquisition suffered in part because of an 18-month regulatory review in Europe. To get the deal done, GE had to make sure French jobs were secure and shed certain assets and technology.
Some GE executives were concerned the compromises changed the calculation too much. Alstom's power business suffered while the sale was in limbo, and some in the leadership at GE wondered if it should walk away. Mr. Immelt and power division leaders were determined to close the transaction, people familiar with the decision said.
Defenders of the deal say it gave GE a much larger base of customers for its services and provided technology to produce a more efficient gas turbine. While the timing wasn't ideal, said one person close to the transaction, the company couldn't control when such assets became available.
Rather than using his unit's greater size to raise prices, GE Power's then- CEO Steve Bolze moved to gain market share, undercutting rivals such as Siemens AG to win sales for GE's biggest gas turbines, analysts say.
At the time, Mr. Bolze was among those competing to be the next head of GE. He was bullish on the power unit's prospects in March 2017 but warned of possible volatility. "I am not naive on the market," Mr. Bolze said at an investor meeting that month, predicting a flat market for the biggest turbines. In June, days after losing out for GE's top job, Mr. Bolze said he would leave.
It wasn't until a meeting in September that the board learned the depths of the problems at the division, which accounts for 30% of GE's approximately $122 billion in annual revenue. GE Power was sitting on too much unsold inventory and was discounting deals to hit sales projections.
Mr. Immelt's optimism was part of the problem, according to some people close to the situation. They said he told the board that management had identified risks in the power business, yet downplayed them. The probability and risk were way off, one said.
Mr. Immelt's spokesman said the board and executive team were informed of the company performance and were involved in setting financial targets.
Orders in the power division dropped 25% in the fourth quarter of 2017 from a year earlier, and the unit's profits for the full year fell by nearly half to $2.8 billion. In December, GE said it would cut 12,000 jobs in the power business, or nearly 18% of the division's workforce, and has replaced much of the management of the unit.
Lisa Davis, the U.S. chief of Siemens, said the German company's executives "have seen this decline coming for the last several years." So Siemens had reduced its capacity in its power business, she said, while GE bought more.
GE also had been selling upgrades to make existing gas turbines run more efficiently. As recently as July, it was telling investors it would sell as many as 165 so-called advanced gas path, or AGP, upgrades in 2017. In October, the company cut that target in half, and it said it expects to sell just 40 upgrades in 2018.
Some analysts have expressed concern GE's accounting for the upgrades masked pressure on the division. According to former executives, the upgrades meant lower service fees for customers, in exchange for one-time upgrade costs, meaning that future sales were being pulled forward.
GE disclosed last month that the Securities and Exchange Commission is examining its revenue recognition practices around such contracts.
The agency also is seeking information about a recent GE review of its insurance business that prompted a $6.2 billion fourth-quarter charge and a plan to set aside $15 billion over seven years to bolster insurance reserves at the now-shrunken GE Capital unit. GE said it is cooperating with the inquiries. The SEC declined to comment.
It's clear more changes are in store, for both employees and investors. Last month, Mr. Flannery said he was examining whether to separate some of GE's core units.
you better believe what Immelt was doing!

In the European Union (EU), 3.6% of people aged 16 and above reported unmet needs for medical examination or treatment in 2018.
The most frequently reported reason was the treatment being unaffordable. 1.0% of people aged 16 and above said the treatment they needed was "too expensive". The next most common reasons for not being treated were the existence of a "waiting list" (0.9%) or because people "wanted to wait and see if the problem got better on its own" (0.6%).
The source dataset is accessible here.
Greece reported by far the highest share of people with unmet medical needs due to treatment being unaffordable (8.3%), followed by Latvia (4.2%), Romania (3.4%), Italy (2.0%), Belgium (1.7%), Portugal (1.6%), Bulgaria (1.5%), Cyprus (1.4%) and Poland (1.1%).
In contrast, the lowest shares were reported in Czechia and Finland (close to 0.0%), whilst in majority of the EU Member States, less than 1% of the population reported unmet medical needs for financial reasons.

Beef Company Takes ABC To Court Over 2012 'Fake News' Pink Slime Report
Shutterstock/Vipavlenkoff
Thomas Phippen Acting Editor-In-Chief
June 04, 2017 5:44 PM ET
Beef Products Inc. is going to court Monday, suing ABC News for report that claimed the company put waste meat products referred to as "pink slime" in processed beef.
Beef Products says ABC caused $1.9 billion in damages with a 2012 report claiming that a filler product found in most ground beef is actually waste beef trimmings known as lean finely textured beef or LFTB, "once used only in dog food and cooking oil."
The report alleges that Beef Products lobbied the Department of Agriculture heavily to classify LFTB as meat.
If the jury rules in the companies favor, ABC would be responsible for triple the amount of damages, or nearly $6 billion, under South Dakota's Food Products Disparagement Act, which protects agriculture companies from libel, the Argus Leader reports.
The lawsuit claims ABC's report unnecessarily targeted the food company for safe and legal food. Beef Products makes LFTB from the trimmings of other beef cuts. The bits of meat are heated slightly to separate the fat from the muscle tissue, then sprayed with ammonium hydroxide, which the Food and Drug Administration says is "generally recognized as safe," to kill bacteria like E. coli. The product is frozen into pink bricks and shipped to other food companies and stores as a filler to combine with higher-quality ground beef.
The case may be a bellwether for how news organizations could be held responsible for so-called "fake news" reports.
"ABC is in the plaintiff's home turf at a time of unprecedented hostility toward the press as purveyors of 'fake news,'" Dave Heller, the deputy director of the Medial Law Resource Center, told the Argus Leader. "On the other hand, you will have a jury of average Americans probably more concerned with what they put on the family dinner table than the public relations of a beef processor."
"This was the opposite of fake news," ABC lawyer Kevin Baine said. "It was real news of interest to consumers who didn't know this product was in their ground beef."
While ABC's reporting did not say the product was unsafe to eat, Beef Products claims that the news organization hyped the claim in order to make LFTB sound disgusting.
"There is not a more offensive way of describing a food product than to call it 'slime,'" a lawyer for Beef Products told the Wall Street Journal. The company claims ABC used the phrase "pink slime" 137 times in TV broadcasts, online reports and on social media.

Demetrius Porter: Fresno State Alumni Winin' & Ballin' in the Valley
2021 Articles, Food Fun, Sports, Steven Sanchez
by Steven Sanchez
People in the Central Valley are odd when it comes to their perceptions about the Valley. This is an area where the youth beg to leave to experience life whether it be going to college, traveling, finding a career, and the list goes on. They have good reasons to depart, and no one really enjoys the heat much. But yet, at the same time, no matter how long people are a way from the area, people always find a way to come back. Whether to visit or move back. The famous line is true, "There's no place like home." And for Demetrius Porter, he would agree.

Not a FanSee Taylor Swift React to T-Pain's Televised Joke About 'Headbutting' Her 'Boob'
By Lillie Gissen
Between the gorgeous red carpet looks and the dazzling performances, the 2019 iHeartRadio Awards was definitely a night to remember. But there was one super awkward moment between host T-Pain and Taylor Swift, when he made an insensitive joke about "headbutting" the singer in the "boob." Um, what? Obviously, Taylor was not happy.
"Taylor, I never apologized to you. The first time we met, you're so much taller than me that I thought you were standing on something," the rapper said during the award show on Thursday, March 14. "So, without looking down, I tried to stand on whatever I thought you were standing on and bam! Headbutted you right in the boob. I am so sorry. That was not my intentions."
And when the camera cut to the "Look What You Made Me Do" songstress to catch her reaction, she seriously looked mortified. We mean, we don't blame her! How would you feel if a man made a joke about touching your boob on national television? Definitely not cool.
But besides that awkward moment, the blonde beauty had a pretty amazing night. And that's because she took home the award for Tour of the Year for her Reputation Stadium Tour!
"I honestly owe everything, everything in my life to you," the 29-year-old gushed in her acceptance speech. "And I want to thank you if you came out and saw the show in perfect weather or if you came to one of our many rain shows that we had. And also, I want to say thank you if you watched the show on Netflix, like on your couch with your dog. You guys are the reason why this tour — and the only reason why this tour wasn't a massive failure and why it ended up being the highest selling tour in U.S. history. That's you."
Taylor even dropped a major hint about her upcoming seventh album.
"And I also just wanted to say before I go that I love your passion. I love your attention to detail. I love how much you care," she added. "I love seeing all the things you're posting online, and I just wanted to let you know when there's new music, you will be the first to know. I love you so much."

The world's top 25 most liveable cities - 2009
Monocle's researchers have spent the past months putting the world's leading cities to the test to find the best places for you to make your base. Last year Copenhagen was the winner of our survey but in 2009 the award goes to Zürich.
Please turn off the lights
Do cities have a sell-by date? And if they no longer feel fresh and vital, should we abandon them? That's what's happening in Russia. So should the burghers of New Orleans and Detroit do the same?
Stockholm starts doing it for the kids, Helsinki talks rubbish, and Turkey stops smoking.
Mexico City's taxi fleet plans to go green, all change at Chattanooga, and how Twitter is helping track the spread of illness through cities.
Ouagadougou is spruced up by an army of low-cost cleaners, Congo's governor gets to work on a failing region, plus Abu Dhabi's new transport system.
Construction begins on Australia's first carbon-zero office building, while in New Zealand a revamp is under way to stop Christchurch's wanderlusty youngsters from upping sticks. Plus, how New Zealanders are catching up the French as the world's longest lunchers.
Why English-style village shops are popping up in rural China and how the hutongs of Beijing may be given a reprieve. Plus, the latest figures on who is living the longest.
Town criers
What's the future of the city? Eleven writers – urbanists, authors, academics, architects and Monocle editors – look at the battles and pleasures of metropolitan living. From the empty highways of Detroit to the sewers of London, an Istanbul street to Ancient Greece, it's a survey of urban hope and possibility.
Secret treasures
These outposts may not score highly on the Monocle city metrics – they're not very well connected for starters. But they all offer a quality of life we would recommend.
Full-speed ahead
Obama is allocating $8bn for high-speed rail – but much of the expertise will come from Europe. Monocle went on the euro-rails with US transport secretary Ray LaHood as he sought inspiration and contacts. Then on page 76 we look at nine more urban visionaries.
From a Beijing air-quality expert to an Italian architect, these urban planning visionaries have ideas with the potential to transform our urban world – and soon.
Korea moves
Global property markets may be undergoing a brutal shakedown but big corporations and sovereign wealth funds have not stopped shopping. And they each seem to have a favourite city to invest in. That's why LA's skyline is increasingly being shaped by landlords in Seoul.
Ask the boss
What makes a city a great place to do business in? How important are parks for a lunchtime run and clean air to breathe? Or is it more about wi-fi access and corporate taxes? Monocle asks five corporate leaders where they like doing business.
Hearts of the city
Identikit suburban projects and architects without imagination have sullied the reputation of property development but Monocle has tracked down five firms putting passion, innovation and social conscience back into the world.
Reel estate
If your town needs a tourism boost, there is nothing more likely to bring in the punters than a blockbusting film set on your street. No wonder cities are offering film companies big incentives for a moment on the casting couch.
Look & listen
Monocle's summer arts calendar creams off the pick of the albums to line up, the books to take to the beach, the shows to saunter round and the movies to get to grips with in the evening – preferably in an open-air cinema in Melbourne.
Engineering company Arup is the name that connects the Sydney Opera House to the proposed Guggenheim museum in Abu Dhabi. The owner-operated firm's pioneering staff are the go-to guys if you want to construct the impossible.
Visvim's sole revival, bedtime treats from Matters of Leisure and a Swiss trunk cal: Monocle selects for summer days and nights.
Power block
We have fallen for elements of urban living in many different cities and have often dreamed of being given a city block where we could bring them together. Now with the help of a team of leading architects, we have done just that.
Air time
Cities are combating urban sprawl by adding another layer – on their roofs. We profile the best projects, from sky-high soccer pitches to cinemas.
City revival
In New York, Tobruk, Foshan, Beirut and Stockholm there are pioneering architectural projects that will transform their cities. We take a look at the grand plans.
Urban beach clubs call for clothing that doesn't sacrifice elegance in the pursuit of sun worship. Opt for neatly tailored swimming shorts that can equally be worn for a stroll round town once you've dried off – or just to the bar and back.
Shop idols
Sometimes it takes just one retailer to unite an entire neighbourhood and restore a sense of old-fashioned community between residents and other shop owners, restaurateurs and civil servants. We've found 10 doing just that.
50 things to improve your life
Our 2009 global round-up of the people, pursuits, places and pets to improve the way you live, work, rest, commute and communicate.
What would win your heart – an alluring first impression or a tempting parting glance? For Tyler Brûlé it was the latter that had him dreaming of relocating the Monocle team to Berlin and bagging a summer retreat.
Business cities / Global
Chris Lyons
1. Monika Sprüth
Co-owner, with Philomene Magers, Sprüth Magers Galleries
London/Berlin/Köln
What elements would a perfect business city have?
It should be the place in the world where culture merges. Culture understood in a broad context reduced not only to art, music, design, architecture, theatre… The city where all contradictions of the world are experienceable and tangible.
How important is quality of life when choosing a base?
Quality of life has a practical and intellectual aspect. Creative architecture in beautiful urban or rural settings. A house with a view of a lake, a river or the sea. With young children close to good and creative schools. A mix between anonymous privacy and friends who share the same interests and discourse. And, most importantly, to have the possibility to see matches of my favourite football club – the professionals and the youth teams.
Which cities are getting it right?
Cities that understand that their strength is mainly based on their history and culture. Places that are always on the borderline between collapse and never-ending cultural regeneration – here culture can grow. Melting pots: cities such as Berlin, New York, London.
If you could be based in any city, where would that be?
I cannot make up my mind. Objectively, all cities that have charisma and vibrancy like Berlin or London are great, perfect places for our galleries. Personally, my preferences change quite often and it seems the easiest to stay where my football club 1.FC Köln is located: Köln!
2. Jean-Claude Biver
CEO of Hublot
Quality of the environment, quality of the air, quality of the traffic, good communication, a strong and effective university, good recruitment possibilities, important artistic activities and good connections.
It's very important, as we have a direct correlation between quality of life and quality of work.

Zürich. It has an intercontinental airport 10 minutes from the city, and a central position in Europe. The dimension of the city is still very human, it's very small with excellent air quality.
And wrong?
Jakarta. The traffic is terrible, it makes one mile an eternity.
Geneva.
3. Brett Godfrey
CEO of Virgin Blue
It needs the ability to recognise and support the immediate and long-term needs of the businesses it wishes to attract and retain. It should have sufficient infrastructure in place or the plans and resources to expand. Access to an international airport and decent airline schedules are a necessity as is the flexibility, enthusiasm and innovation of the local government and city council.
It's essential. A base that offers quality lifestyle and low cost of living provides distinct recruitment advantages.
Brisbane, Virgin Blue's home base. We weighed up factors including operating costs, aviation links, cost of living and lifestyle before selecting Brisbane.
Each city has its advantages. What's perfect for one business may not be for another.
How about a tropical island somewhere?
4. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo
Chief executive of Nokia
People are the most important element, the availability of people who work for us and with us, and our partner base. Infrastructure of course, and a bit of sunshine doesn't hurt.
Quality of life is very personal. There's no single definition for it.
I would like to mention one city which has been very helpful and supportive for our needs: Beijing. We have expanded a lot there recently and built new local headquarters there in one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the world.
Three cities come to mind, the three Bs: Berlin, Boston and Beijing. But I'd like to mention something that's not noticed so often, namely that for many global companies, Helsinki is quite good. It's in between East and West, and the time zone is good. It's very easy to do business there.
5. Robin Chase
Co-founder and CEO of Zipcar
Free wi-fi access everywhere, mixed-use downtown, lots of transport options for short-term visitors (good walking, transit, shared cars, taxis), and a unique sense of the city.
It's almost everything. Most people are willing to accept a lower income job if their quality of life is high.
I don't think any city has all the elements. There are many great cities – I haven't been to them all, but they include Boston, New York, San Francisco, Portland, Paris, London, Berlin, Amsterdam (actually most cities and towns in Holland), Tokyo (and Nara, where I recently visited).
Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta – most American small towns. Some cities could become gems with just a little nudge – Istanbul for example. Cities that let me go about my routine life without a car win every time.

Not everyone in the family was thrilled about the idea of moving to Australia. My youngest sister, then 16, was horrified by the prospect and made no secret of her complete opposition to it. She dreaded the idea of leaving behind her friends, especially her boyfriend Nick, and she regularly threatened to run away. This was exacerbated by the fact that she turned 17 the day before we set sail and was thereby legally entitled to stay behind. While her threats proved to be empty ones the potency of her fury remained potent during the first days of the voyage.


Basketball has been a big part of my life and me just becoming a better player but an even better person. My goal is to keep playing basketball for as long as I possibly can and I want my career to have something to do with basketball. My mindset is to improve on the court and off the court every single day. I strive to be great on the floor and in the classroom. I will put the time in to receive the best results.

The Mentzendorff House, a Rigans' 17th–18th cent. house-museum is a branch of the Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation.The mission of the Mentzendorff House, a Rigans' 17th–18th cent. house-museum, is to preserve and study the architectural and artistic values of the museum building, to research the fates of the people associated with the building, to demonstrate the culture and traditions of Riga's citizens as a cultural phenomenon of the time by projecting them against the values of modern culture, to facilitate the museum integration in the cultural processes by supporting the measures and ideas that would promote mutual understanding among the current legatees of Riga's cultural and historical heritage, i.e. today's Rigans, the descendants of the earlier generations of Riga's inhabitants. In view of the historical connection of the house with the glazier's craft, the museum has undertaken to reflect the development and achievements of the craft and art in this field.
The Mentzendorff House, a branch of the Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation, with its 17th-18th cent. ambience is the only museum of its kind in the Baltics and was opened to visitors on May 18, 1992. The exposition is located in a house built in 1695, which until 1939 was a residential house with a shop and warehouse floors. The building was reborn under the care of the Polish restorers of "PKZ" and the architect Pēteris Blūms.The Rigans' house-museum introduces visitors to a well-to-do Rigan's traditional everyday culture. A significant part of the exhibition consists of unique 17th-18th cent. ceiling and wall paintings. Matching historical interior items from the collection of the Museum of the History of Riga and Navigation create a peculiar character and mood for each room. The historical basement vaults and the romantic attic accommodate exhibition halls. The museum is named after the family name of the last owners of the house, the merchants Mentzendorff. Around the turn of the 20th century, August Mentzendorff's colonial goods shop offered to buy a variety of sought-after goods, such as spices, green and black tea, cigars, sweets, etc., including the best coffee in Riga. The house still has close ties with the descendants of the Mentzendorff family, who support various museum activities.

Latvian Baltic-German Centre "Domus Rigensis"
The association "Domus Rigensis", founded in 1992 in Riga by Latvians and Baltic-Germans, has also found its home in the Mentzendorff House. The aim of the association is to identify and nurture the common cultural and historical heritage of Riga, contacts between people who are interested in Riga and Latvia. The events of the Latvian Baltic-German Centre highlight the historical and modern-day interaction of Latvians and Germans in Riga's multicultural environment.

Veenkoloniaal Museum. Veendam, the Netherlands.
The museum of the history of the peat mining region, founded in 1939, is seriously researching contacts between the Netherlands and Latvia. The Veenkoloniaal Museum is the only one in Europe with a special Riga Hall. The Mentzendorff House connections with this museum are by joint exhibition and conference projects. The collaboration will be complemented by the exhibition of Dutch artists planned for 2021 – works inspired by the Baltics.

Friday Mix: For Days When You're Missing Someone a Little More Than Usual
Songs that say "I miss you" better than you can.
by Macy Alcaraz | Sep 16, 2016
Image: Oh Wonder | instagram.com/ohwondermusic
Feelings can be quite complicated but some days, they can be pretty simple as three words: I MISS YOU. Whether you're in a long distance relationship, or just simply having one of those weeks when you can't peel away from schoolwork to see your bae, the feeling of missing someone is quite universal. Your heart feels a little heavier, you're always on the verge of tearing up, and the sound of an incoming chat message on Facebook just won't cut it.
For days when you're missing your special someone a little more than usual, we've put together a mix you can put on while you count down the days—or months, weeks, hours, minutes—till you see your bae again. We hope that it gives you some comfort somehow.

Trump Campaign Leader Bannon Has Nasty Anti-Semite Ties
Trump camp's latest addition Stephen Bannon is far and away the worst add-on in the campaign's history, and journalists everywhere are turning up massive scandals left and right on the former Breitbart leader-turned campaign man. Among a litany of other things – including domestic abuse charges – it has now been discovered that Bannon demanded his children not attend a school with too many Jews.
According to his ex-wife during divorce proceedings, Bannon negotiated to have his daughters attend a school with less Jewish children because he reportedly didn't like Jews and didn't like the way that Jews raised their children.
According to divorce documents unearthed by the Rachel Maddow show, Bannon's wife said:
"He said that he doesn't like the way they raise their kids to be 'whiny brats' and that he didn't want the girls going to school with Jews."
Bannon's spokesperson has since denied these claims, but it's not hard to see that his anti-Jew bias is everywhere in his media and political career.
As Trump has had a great deal of difficulty distancing himself from white nationalists and Hitler himself, having a campaign leader who has been so vocally anti-Semitic could cost him.

When we left off last Saturday, Shannon and I were walking around Evangelion World at Fuji-Q Highlands theme park near Mt. Fuji in Japan.
Damn, my life IS kind of cool.
After touring all the other display rooms, we wandered into MAIN attraction: the 1:1 scale Evangelion Unit-01 head. It was built to look like the body was submerged and that you are, in fact, in the hanger where it is stored – just like the series/movies.
It's BIG! About every eight minutes (or so) a video plays on either side featuring Misato talking to NERV staff. There were no subtitles, but I *assume* she is talking about activating the Eva unit. At one point, above the Eva's head, a small window lights up and you can see Gendo looking down over the situation. I wasn't able to get a photo of this due to lighting restrictions/timing/my lame skills.
Once the Eva unit "activates," the lighting in the room changes and you can see the eyeballs move in that creepy kind of like a giant human anime way. The Eva roars, the room gets loud with alarms, and the experience becomes very immersive. It's amazingly cool.
Here's me in front of the GIANT HEAD. You can see the screens on either side.
While walking around, Shannon and I noticed three JAPANESE COSPLAYERS who had come to take photos in front of the Eva Unit.
Seriously. We were totally in Japan now.
Being as American as we could be, we approached them and asked to take a photo. They were thrilled at the prospect and I wound up taking the same photos with their cameras, too. So here you go: Shannon with Japanese cosplayers in a theme park with Neon Genesis Evangelion stuff.
They were all very nice, polite, and didn't understand a single damn thing I said. We loved it!
Next post: the End of Evangelion (World) and back into the park.

- If you don't complete the application process and become a tenant of Sam Properties (bar the landlord cancelling your application), this £200 amount will not be refundable and will be forfeited.
The deposit amount for your property is usually the equivalent of five weeks rent per person.

The joy and expectations of every single adult man is to get down on his knee and propose forever to the woman of his dream, and get a favorable response from her. This gesture, is by far the grandest romantic gesture in the history of romance.
An average woman likes beautiful and classy jewelries, from her earrings, to her neck pieces, her wristwatch and fashion rings. Almost all women want to glow and sparkle in their accessories. So, a typical woman would want the best of rings for her engagement.
There are stories about women who declined a proposal because the ring wasn't worth she wanted. One glance at the engagement ring and they bailed on the man leaving him on his knee in the presence of the people present.
As a man, your choice of ring can either make or mar the success of your engagement. You might be wondering why an engagement ring is that important, asking if you can't just ask her to marry you without the ring. The answer is a big 'No'. The engagement ring is a sign of your love for your bride to be, not only that, it is a symbol of how much you want to commit yourself to her.
In view of this, you have to do all it takes, to get the proper and befitting engagement ring for your bride to be. How do you get this done? And how you can estimate how much you should spend on an engagement ring? Is there a standard rule for how much a man should spend on an engagement ring or it just depends? Let's see what steps a man should take to get this done perfectly.
You need to find out the type of ring your woman likes. Since she would be the one to flaunt the rock around, you should know she has something on her mind already. Before the D – day, subtly ask her or her close friends what her preference is.
If she has a preference, that is pretty awesome. But if she doesn't, that is better news, as you don't have to keep searching for a particular type of engagement ring, you can click here to see a lot of ideas for the perfect engagement ring (settings).
When you have found the type of ring you want to buy, then you are left with the challenge of where to get the perfect engagement ring for your woman.
The kind of ring you want to buy, is not only dependent on your woman's choice, it depends largely on the size of your pocket. Getting a woman to accept your proposal, is a teeny-weeny part of the journey to forever.
It is not the major part of the wedding plans. There is the wedding ceremony proper, and there is the life after the wedding. So, emptying your pocket and account, is not the ideal option in getting the befitting engagement ring.
Lots of folks have different opinions about how much men should spend on engagement. Foremost and trending on this list, is the famous diamond jeweler De Beer (the image on the right here shows the original ad where De Beer tried to publish this idea through it) who opined that men should spend at least two month's salary in getting an engagement ring. Hmm, that is a whole lot of your salary is not on the very high side.
Others think that men should save up to buy an expensive engagement ring for their bride to be. While some are of the opinion, that the groom to be should either take a bank loan or ask his family members for loan.
Then I ask, why go to that extreme just to purchase a single piece of jewelry? I am not saying it is not worth, don't get me wrong. All I am saying is, all men should cut their coats according to their clothes.
Get an engagement ring within your budget, period!
You should have an achievable set budget that you can work towards effortlessly without draining your coffers.
There is no fixed amount you should spend on your engagement ring. There is no rule that mandates men to buy an engagement ring worth a particular amount.
So, just get something beautiful, adorable and affordable. Your woman should understand your financial status and she should appreciate whatever you can afford. That is the reason you should be with a woman who is understanding.
But the fact that she is understanding, should not be an excuse to get her something worthless. Give her YOUR best, and make sure YOUR best is worth it.
Also put it in mind, that an expensive engagement ring doesn't express love or affection. There are men who buy expensive gifts for their women, yet don't have any iota of love for the women.
Act within your earnings, don't go overboard with your budget for the engagement ring, as there are other expenses in the future. You have lots of things to spend money on, like the wedding preparations, setting up your new home and saving for your unborn children. These are more pressing financial matters if you ask me.
If you are the type of man that can afford the best of the best, then don't hold back. Spoil yourself woman silly. Adorn her finger with the best engagement ring. There is no crime in that. Just DON'T DRAIN YOUR POCKETS in a bid to impress her with a piece of jewelry, getting the ring in debt is the last thing you want to do in your life, you shouldn't start your life in debt, and if she can't understand that you can't afford an expensive ring, think again.
Lastly, if you search on sites like James Allen or Blue Nile for a ring & a diamond, and you can easily get a great one for your budget, whatever it was.

When setting the corner radius, border color and border width there is often bleeding through to the
edges as is seen with the screenshot from the StackOverflow question below. This approach eliminates
the bleeding by embedding the masked view without a superview which can also be made circular.

This approach works well with a Storyboard by simply setting the class to `SSTCircleButton` or
`SSTCircleView` with the superview class set to `SSTCircleWrapperView`. The background color of
the superview is used as the border color and the distance between the superview and the wrapped
view is used for the border width.
