May Myat Noe, the first Myanmar beauty queen to win an international beauty pageant, was crowned Miss Asia Pacific World in May 2014.

緬甸第一位在國際選美盛會獲勝的選美皇后梅妙諾，於2014年5月得到「亞太世界小姐」冠冕。

But she was stripped of her crown for alleged dishonesty and bad behaviour, according to event spokesman in Seoul, South Korea. The sponsoring agency of the beauty contest accused her of running away with the bejeweled tiara, reportedly worth $100,000, from South Korea after the contest and also claimed to have paid $10,000 for her breast implants.

但根據選美比賽發言人於南韓首爾的說法，她的后冠因所謂的不誠實與不良舉止遭摘除。選美競賽的贊助機構指控她在比賽後帶著鑲有寶石、據傳價值達10萬美元的后冠自南韓逃跑，並宣稱已為她的隆乳支付1萬美元。

May Myat Noe fought back against the allegations, telling a news conference that the organization had dethroned for no reason. She denied having had plastic surgery, and claimed that she did not even know that she had been dethroned before she boarded a plane for Myanmar.

梅妙諾反擊這些指控，並在一場記者會上表示，該組織無緣無故罷免她。她否認做過整形手術，並主張她在登上赴緬甸的班機前，甚至不知道她已遭摘除后冠。

Millionaire Jason Buzi has launched a social media treasure hunt in San Francisco. Participants follow clues posted by Buzi under the Twitter handle @HiddenCash in hopes of locating one of the many hidden cash drops spread throughout the city. Such locations have included parks, beaches, construction sites, and even libraries. Though Buzi first did this secretly, his identity has since become known. His original idea for this project was to bring people together in a positive way. Buzi hopes to inspire other more fortunate people to do more to give back.

From ancient times to the modern era, the people of London have used the Thames for many purposes. It has provided fresh drinking water, fresh fish, and acted as the gateway to the world, via the London Docks. In a nutshell, the Thames has done it all.
Since 1997, the River Thames has been celebrated in the annual Mayor’s Thames Festival. The festival started out as a weekend festival, later becoming a 10-day event. It has become so popular in recent years that, in 2014, it will take place for the entire month of September. The festival is responsible for millions of tourists flocking to central London each year. Activities include art, music, and exciting water events.
