With one touch of a magic button on the shades, we are transported to a techno-psychedelic dream world where, as usual, T-Pain is hanging at the bar and the strip club like he has no home. Usually singers brag about how all they do is show up anywhere—club, bank, or nursing home—and immediately attract five girls on each arm.

...renovation. Some 18,000 workers used to produce just over 2 million tons of steel here; now about 6,000 people produce almost three times as much - and the plant consumes less energy per ton of steel than many of its rivals around Europe. In August, a new hot strip mill started up, the first fruits of a $3 billion investment program aimed at upgrading Turkish steel production...
