A beautiful home owned by former Yahoo CEO Tim Koogle has hit the market for $19.4 million.

Koogle and his wife, Pam Scott, have owned the 12-acre property in Los Altos, California, since 2003, when they bought it for about $8 million, according to Bloomberg. 

The renovated, midcentury house has four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a detached four-car garage, a guesthouse, and a terrace.

Koogle said that his home has played host to a series of influential talks and presentations from people in his business network, including Elon Musk in the beginning days of Tesla.

Koogle was the CEO of Yahoo from 1995 to 2001. He was on the company's board of directors until 2003.

While the couple has many warm memories at this house, they also own at least six other properties. For this reason, Koogle and his wife decided it was in their best interest to downsize.

Richard Williamson of Sotheby's International Realty has the listing.

The colorful home was originally built in 1955 and has since undergone renovations.

The decor is modern with bright yellow touches throughout the house.

The home has several living spaces, including one outdoors for enjoying the warm, California air.

With the Emmys coming up on Sunday, who better to talk to then one of the people who chooses the winners? 

The Hollywood Reporter talked to a member of the TV Academy, who gets to vote for the Emmy nominees and winners.

This anonymous voter, who identifies himself as an "old white guy," is very honest with his critiques. He has a lot of unpopular opinions, and might be evidence that, like the Oscars, the Emmys need to stir some diversity in their pool of voters.

Here's what some people had to say:

And below, we collected some of the most outrageous quotes from the interview:

"I really tried with 'Westworld', but while I was watching it — which I did because my wife loves it and I’m a good husband — I kept thinking to myself, “This is pretentious bulls---.”

"I’m very old-fashioned when it comes to comedies — I like them to be funny — and 'Atlanta' is not funny. It’s very creative — I’m a big Donald Glover fan, I think he’s a huge talent and I wish that show nothing but success — but it isn’t funny, at least to an old white guy like me."

"I enjoy 'Master of None' more in theory than I do in practice; it’s just a little too preachy and sanctimonious. Similar thing with 'Black-ish': it’s funny, but I always feel like I’m being scolded and educated, and while I don’t mind John Oliver educating me about obscure things, I don’t need that from a network comedy. It just got a little too up its own ass this year."

This year's Emmy nominees have spent a wide range of years working in Hollywood. 

Some of the stars have been in the business for decades, like 79-year-old Jane Fonda, and others are fairly new, like 13-year-old Millie Bobby Brown.

Before the Emmys take place on Sunday, September 17, here is a look at where some of this year's nominees got their start.

Watch the Emmys September 17 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

Elisabeth Moss got her start on TV movies and shows, including "Midnight's Child." She's nominated this year for "The Handmaid's Tale."

Donald Glover was in a number of short internet videos and was a writer for "30 Rock" in 2006, where he also made some cameos. He has four nominations for "Atlanta" for directing, writing, acting, and producing.

One of Milo Ventimiglia's first TV stints was a small part on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." He earned his first Emmy nomination this year for "This is Us."

Every September, New York Fashion Week gives the fashion world a preview of the styles that will be trendy the following spring and summer.

This year, NYFW takes place from September 7 - 13. As always, the designer shows and extravagant after-parties have featured exclusive, star-studded guest lists. Often, it's more exciting to see what the celebrities in the front row wear to Fashion Week rather than what the models wear on the runway.

From Kim Kardashian's holographic dress and platinum hair to Rihanna's all-yellow outfit, keep scrolling to some of the best celebrity looks from NYFW 2017.

On September 6, before the official start of NYFW, Paris Jackson attended a Kickoff Party hosted by Elle. Jackson wore a colorful crop top, wide-leg white pants, and a white crocheted wrap.

The actress and model accessorized with several necklaces, bracelets, and rings. She also carried a clutch. Throughout Fashion Week, Jackson proudly displayed her armpit hair while wearing a number of outfits.

Hailey Baldwin sported a checkered suit over a baby blue bralette to the same event on September 6.

Baldwin completed the ensemble with a slick bun, thin necklace, and pair of white pointed-toe heels.

Also on September 6, Kim Kardashian West debuted her long blonde hair at the Tom Ford show, which took place the day before Fashion Week officially started.

The reality TV star offset her dramatic hairstyle with a strapless latex dress — one of her go-to looks.

Fall fashion can sometimes be tricky. It's cold in the morning, but by the afternoon, it can get pretty warm. 

Still, it's important to stay dressed appropriately, especially in a professional environment. 

Instead of wearing a fleece or windbreaker over your shirt and tie, blazers and sport coats are the best option for staying professional and warm when you need it.

Additionally, they can be the perfect middle ground between a fully formal look and one that's a little more laid back. 

Depending on the setting, a full suit is too much and simple collared shirt isn't enough. Blazers and sport coats can be dressed up with slacks, a shirt, and tie or down with a sweater and jeans. 

If you're looking to add versatility and warmth to your fall wardrobe, blazers and sport coats are the way to do it.

Check out the 8 best blazers and sport coats to buy this season, below:

Brooks Brothers Milano Fit Multi-Check Sport Coat

Wearing the same suits over and over can become boring fast. Instead of switching up your ties, pair your blue, black, or grey bottoms with the Brooks Brothers Milano Fit Multi-Check Sport Coat. 

Brooks Brothers Milano Fit Multi-Check Sport Coat, $498

Indochino Navy Corduroy Blazer

Corduroy is a great way to add texture to an outfit and it's pretty warm, too. Coming in a deep navy color, the Indochino Corduroy Blazer works well with many of the clothes you should already have in your closet.

LONDON — The countries with the best quality of life in the world have a good work-life balance, access to quality healthcare, education, and infrastructure, as well as cost of living and career opportunities.

Warm weather also helps.

In a new survey by InterNations, the world’s largest network for people who live and work abroad, the company asked 12,500 expats, representing 166 nationalities and living in 188 countries or territories, to rate 43 different aspects of life abroad on a scale of 1 to 7.

From this, InterNations calculated the scores to reach an overall average.

The Quality of Life index took into account factors such as:

• Leisure Options;
• Personal Happiness;
• Travel & Transport;
• Health & Well-Being;
• Safety & Security.

A destination needed at least 75 respondents to feature in this index. Here are the top 17 countries.

Lianna Brinded contributed to an earlier version of this report.

17. Netherlands — Netherlands scored particularly highly for Travel & Transport (7th). In other subindexes, it scored relatively poorly, ranking 47th for Leisure Options and 25th for Personal Happiness.

16. Finland — Finland scored below 16th in every major subindex apart from Health & Well-Being, where it ranked fifth, one place behind Scandinavian neighbour Sweden and two places behind Denmark.

15. New Zealand — New Zealand falls two places from last year, but high scores on the Personal Happiness subindex (10th) and Leisure Options subindex (9th) keep it relatively near the top of the list.

Varosha in Cyprus used to be a popular getaway for glamorous stars like Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor in its 1960s heyday.

But when Turkish forces invaded the town in 1974, Varosha's tourists and civilians were forced out.

The town remains a perfectly undisturbed 1970s time-capsule, and many residents assumed that they would be able to return home eventually. However, Varosha remains under the control of Turkish forces and entry to the town is forbidden.

If you're looking for ways to save money, you're probably not thinking about buying new tech. 

Some will take longer to show their value than others, but these eight gadgets can actually save you money over the long run. I made a few purchases like this last year, and it's always nice to see a little extra money in my bank account each month.

An HD antenna

This is one of the products I invested in last year, and I couldn't be happier with the results. An HDTV antenna allows you to watch live TV without having to pay for a monthly cable package. 

Your picture quality and signal strength will vary depending on where you are, but you can use the online tool AntennaWeb to determine which channels you should get. If you'd like to learn more about cutting the cable cord to save money, you can check out our full cord-cutting guide.

LED light bulbs

Light bulbs aren't a purchase you think of often (most of the time it comes up when you find yourself sitting in the dark), but investing in LED bulbs can save you money. 

They're a little more expensive up front — although they've dropped in price significantly over the past few years, but they're both more energy efficient and longer lasting than traditional light bulbs.

TCP LED A19 - 60 Watt Equivalent Soft White Light Bulb (6 Pack), $14.41, available at Amazon.

An energy-conserving outlet

How many times have you accidentally left something on longer than you should have. I've done that a lot in the past, and it took me years to to break the habit. 

This outlet solves that problem: Plug it into the wall, plug your appliance into the outlet, and set how long you'd like the outlet to be active using a single button. After the allotted time is up, this plug will cut power to your appliance, saving energy.

It's no surprise that there are some pretty extravagantly decorated, expensive homes in London — particularly in the wealthy neighbourhood of Knightsbridge.

However, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom 4551 sq. ft. townhouse on Brompton Square, available to rent for £34,666 a month or £8,000 a week, might take the cake.

It's owned by Hollywood film director Roland Emmerich, known for films like "Independence Day,""The Day After Tomorrow," and "Godzilla," a fact that becomes obvious when you look at its decor. From a wax figure of Pope John Paul II in a cupboard under the stairs to paintings of dictators like Chairman Mao and Lenin on the walls, the property is "truly unique," according to Kinleigh Folklard & Hayward estate agents.

Spread over five floors, it has five double bedrooms, five bathrooms, a large reception, a drawing room, dining room, breakfast area and open-plan kitchen, as well as a separate kitchenette.

It also boasts two studios, two private terraces (including one roof terrace), a cinema room, and a vault on the lower ground floor.

Step inside the wildly colourful and imaginative London home of film director Roland Emmerich, on the market to rent for £35,000 a month. Before, you ask, yes, those are murals of Chairman Mao and Lenin, and they're not the only ones in the property.

The home is located on Brompton Square in SW3, which is between South Kensington and Knightsbridge Tube stations.

Spread over five floors, the home has five double bedrooms, each as spacious and extravagant as the last. The cushions you see on this bed feature the faces of Stalin and Lenin.

The Emmys air on Sunday night.

There were so many great performances this year on so many great shows that among the nominees, it's difficult to decide who should win. 

But it's easier to figure out who will win, based on precedent and overall buzz.

For example, "The Handmaid's Tale" is a a critic favorite in the outstanding drama, outstanding lead actress, and outstanding supporting actress categories, but it will likely lose to NBC's massive commercial and critical hit, "This Is Us."

We put together a list of our Emmy predictions, along with who we think should win. So if you're excited to see the best contenders among all the nominees this year, look no further.

"The Crown"

"The Handmaid's Tale"

"House of Cards"

"Stranger Things"

"This Is Us"

"Westworld"

WILL WIN: "This Is Us"

SHOULD WIN: "The Handmaid's Tale"

"The Handmaid's Tale" is relevant, impeccably acted, and visionary, from the directing to the costumes to the music. Despite its upsetting setting, the show finds some humor and light in the darkness. This well-made modern interpretation of the classic novel shows how book adaptations work in the television format. It's also completely changed the game in proving that Hulu is some serious competition for Netflix, Amazon, and all the networks now.

When closet and cabinet space is at a premium, it's all too easy to clutter a home with the things that make up your life — books, shoes, mail, dirty dishes, laundry.

When you're working with 1,200 square feet or less, like I am, you have to get crafty with how you use your space, optimizing it for maximum organization and comfort.

I've lived in New York City for the past eight years, and I've gotten pretty good at making the most of my square footage, carefully choosing furniture and home accents that don't just look nice but also double as extra storage space.

I went through my Amazon order history from the past six months to review the best space-saving purchases I've made for my latest apartment. You'll find a few pieces I've picked up from West Elm, Urban Outfitters, and CB2 in this list as well.

Here are 10 space-saving items I've bought along with my reasons why for each — in case you want to add any to your home. For any pricier purchases I talk about, I also list a similar, more affordable pick you can supplement into your home.

If you have a space-saving hack I didn't cover, email me at ehoffman@businessinsider.com, because I'd love to hear it! The ideas in this list are specific to my apartment's layout and are by no means the only options out there.

For the kitchen: a dual-compartment trash can for regular trash and recyclables.

Trash cans are surprisingly expensive! That's partly why I ended up "going big or going home" on a pricey simplehuman one. If I was already going to fork over close to $100 on a new trash can (I wanted one with compartments for regular trash and recyclables), I might as well increase my budget and get the best money can buy.

I don't have the room to store a trash can in the cabinet underneath my sink, so I treated this purchase like I would a piece of furniture. The trash can, for better or worse, is the first thing people see when they walk into my apartment, and my rose-gold one from simplehuman makes a pretty nice first impression. It's stylish (can I say that about a trash can?), surprisingly compact given the amount of garbage it can hold, and it even has a convenient liner pocket that dispenses trash bags one by one from inside the can for a faster liner change.

This is by far the best designed trash can I've seen, and for me, it is well worth the high price.

What I bought: simplehuman 15.3-Gallon Dual-Compartment Recycling Step Can with Liner Pocket, $199.99

A similar pick: Organize It All Stainless-Steel Step-On 16-Gallon Recycle Bin, $104.24

For the kitchen: a hanging pot rack for your most used pots and pans.

My kitchen has decent countertop space and cabinet storage, but it’s not enough for me to easily store of all my pots and pans. So I got this hanging pot rack from Cuisinart to free up some room and make my most used cookware easier to access.

I like the copper version best for my space (I chose it to coordinate with my rose-gold trash can), but the rack also comes in matte black, stainless steel, and bronze.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic 36” Rectangular Wall-Mount Bookshelf Rack, $119.95

For the bedroom: a shoe rack to keep all of your footwear together and organized.

Easy to assemble and sturdier than its price suggests, this is a great shoe rack for less than $10. For $10 more, you can get a rack that holds up to 30 pairs of shoes.

Nestled between Manhattan and Queens on New York's Roosevelt Island, a new approach to building design has come to life.

Cornell Tech, a two-million-square foot campus aimed at serving students studying computer science, business, and entrepreneurship, is open for the 2016-2017 academic year.

The buildings will remain in construction until approximately 2043, at which point some 2,000 students and hundreds of faculty and staff will live in energy-efficient buildings designed to heat and cool their inhabitants naturally.

Here's what the school is like up close.

SEE ALSO: 16 of the most beautiful schools in the world

Cornell Tech's main dorm, the tall building pictured in the background below, is the tallest and largest "passive" house in the world, meaning it uses little energy to heat and cool the interior.

Passive houses can use 70 to 90% less energy than traditionally built structures. The dorm will abide by a strict set of energy efficiency requirements established by Germany's Passive House Institute.

The building is the largest energy-efficient dorm in the world. 

The interior walls are covered in tape-sealed "jackets" that prevent outside air from coming in. Each window has triple-pane glass that was assembled in Italy and shipped to New York.

Pipes run around the ceiling, continuously emitting heat or AC into the room. Unlike traditional central heating and AC systems, which shut on and off to adjust the temperature, the pipes keep the inside temperature consistent and adjust in real time to save energy.

The other buildings in the campus also employ a passive design, including The Bridge. It's a co-working space for tech companies and researchers, who can collaborate to bring products to market more quickly.

The INSIDER Summary:

• Surrogacy is relatively common for parents who face infertility issues or cannot birth children.
• Celebrities are shining a light on the importance of using surrogacy to grow their family.
• From Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, these are celebrity parents who have used surrogates.

Ever since news broke that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were reportedly expecting a third child via gestational surrogacy, we thought it’d be interesting to look back at all the celebrity parents who extended their families in a similar fashion. But beyond Hollywood, surrogacy is a relatively common phenomenon for parents who have infertility issues or cannot birth children for a variety of reasons.

Given that the nuclear family is long gone these days, it’s important for moms and dads in the public eye to shine a light on the fact that surrogacy is just another way for parents to grow their families. Ahead, take a peek at 10 celebrity couples who welcomed their children via surrogacy.

SEE ALSO: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having their third baby in January

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West

After struggles with conceiving her first two children, North and Saint, Kim Kardashian considered other options. The mom of two opened up about the process on a recent episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," in which she revealed that she was considering using a surrogate for her third child with husband Kanye West.

In late July, Us Weekly broke the news that the E! personality was indeed expecting a third child via surrogate, who is currently three months pregnant. According to sources for the magazine, Kardashian's surrogate is a San Diego mom in her late twenties who was paid $45,000 for the process. The mag estimates that the A-list couple will welcome their third child in January 2018.

Tyra Banks and Erik Asla

In January 2016, Tyra Banks and her boyfriend, photographer Erik Asla, welcomed their first child together, a son named York, via gestational surrogacy. In an interview with People shortly afterward, the "America's Next Top Model" host empathized with parents who also have fertility issues and must seek other options.

"As I gaze into the beautiful eyes of my son, I think about all the people who struggle with fertility or carrying a child and continue to pray for them every day," she said.

Lucy Liu

In 2015, Lucy Liu welcomed her first child, a son named Rockwell Lloyd, via surrogacy. However, the actress—who is a single mom and has spoken out about wanting to expand people's notions of a "traditional family"—faced backlash for using a surrogate shortly after the news broke.

“I just went ahead and did it," Liu told CBS News. “I didn’t realize there was criticism until after I sent out the information that I had my baby through a gestational carrier and my friends said, ‘Don’t listen to what some people are saying.’ I didn’t realize people were saying anything negative!”

When it comes to fall footwear, chukka boots are one the best choices you can make. 

Characterized by its mid-top cut, minimal eyelets, and elongated toe box, the chukka boot style has stood the test of time. With a wide range of ways to wear them, they are the perfect middle ground between loafers or low-top sneakers and all-out winter boots. 

As the official start off fall nears, neither extremes are suitable. A nice pair of chukka boots will keep you dressed your best throughout the season.

Whether going for a professional look for the office, completely casual, or somewhere in between, there is a pair of chukka boots with right for you.

Check out the best chukka boots for men, below:

Wolf & Shepherd Striker Chukka

With "dress to perform" as the brand's motto, the Wolf & Shepherd Striker Chukka does exactly that. From the outside, the rich pebble-textured leather of the Bullet colorway and a sleek sloping toe box make this pair look like a standard high-quality dress shoe, but the inside is what really separates it from others.

The inside boasts a memory foam-padded tongue, ankle collars, and insoles, making them the absolute most comfortable dress shoes I've ever worn. If you're looking for comfort in your professional style, then you have to own these.

Wolf & Shepherd Striker Chukka, $335

Clarks Desert Boot

The Clarks Desert Boot is an absolute classic. Inspired by the shoes British soldiers wore in their leisure time during WWII, the design has stayed exactly the same for over 60 years. Its suede upper sits on top of a crepe sole to make for a simple look that can be worn anywhere.

Clarks Desert Boot, $130

Clarks Originals Kudu Leather Desert Boot

While the traditional Desert Boots are one of the best of all time, Clarks Originals managed to bring the silhouette to a completely new level with the "Kudu Pack," a collection that also includes the Wallabee, Desert Trek, and Weaver.

Crafted in Italy, the shoes are made out of Kudu antelope leather, and it's some of the softest leather I've ever felt. What makes them special is the amount of character each individual pair possesses. Rather than heavily treating the leather, renowned tannery C.F. Stead enhanced the natural look of the Kudu antelope's leather. With scratches and marks from the antelope's lifetime in the wild, each pair is unique. The colorway is described as Purple Grape, but it is more a of burgundy or wine colorway. Finished off with leather laces and genuine crepe soles, these are super premium.

Clarks Originals Kudu Leather Desert Boot, $260 

Week 2 of the college football season was another one to remember.

Baker Mayfield made his case as the Heisman favorite and planted a flag straight through the hearts of Ohio State fans, while Lamar Jackson reminded the world why he won the award last year, putting up over 500 total yards against North Carolina on the road.

Week 2 was also another winner for our gambling picks. While Baylor was a disappointment and UAB came up short against Ball State in a game I mistakenly thought was at home (sorry folks), USC, Fresno State, and Georgia all covered for us, leading to a somewhat average but still profitable record of 4-3.

This week's slate presents another opportunity to make some bets, with more powerhouse matchups and historic rematches.

If you want a bit of early action, Boise State might be a good place to start on Thursday night, but for the purposes of this column we're going to keep our picks to the Saturday schedule.

All lines come courtesy of the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

USC (-16.5) over Texas

In a rematch of one of the greatest games in the history of college football, USC and Texas will face off this weekend at the Coliseum. While Vince Young, Matt Leinhart, Reggie Bush, and Jamaal Charles won't be taking the field, the bad blood between these teams remains.  USC is even arguing that they are still "undefeated" against Texas, as their lone loss to the Longhorns came during a season in which the wins were vacated by the NCAA. Expect the pettiness to continue, and USC to want to put the beat down on Texas.

Memphis (+3) over UCLA

This line seems absurd on its face — Josh Rosen is one of the most beloved quarterbacks in the country and UCLA is coming off two straight impressive wins to start the season. Meanwhile, most casual football fans likely can't name a single player on the Memphis roster. But this game is in Memphis, and scheduled for a 12 p.m. start. For the UCLA players, that noon start will feel like 9 a.m. thanks to jet lag. Do you remember what you felt like at 9 a.m. on Sunday mornings in college? Might be a good idea to look into a first half bet here as well.

Mississippi State (+7) over LSU

Mississippi State had one of the most ridiculous plays you'll ever see against Louisiana Tech last weekend, chasing a fumble the length of the field to give the Bulldogs third down and 93 yards to go. This week, they host LSU as the ESPN primetime game, and are getting points. This is a pure home dog play — Mississippi State has proven they can hang with some of the best programs in the country, and LSU has yet to really be tested this season.

Although numerous studies tout the health benefits of being in a relationships, not many people talk about all the ways being single can have a positive impact your health. 

We've rounded up all the best ways that maintaining your relationship independence can make you healthier. After this, you maybe just want to delete your dating profiles for good.

You have a larger support system.

Although people in relationships should have a partner who supports and encourages them, single people tend to have a whole group of cheerleaders.  

A 2015 study found that single people not only have a tight knit group of friends and family to reach out to, but that they are more likely to receive help and support from that network than people in a relationship. These single people were also found to be more attentive to those close to them than their linked up counterparts, according to a separate study. 

You have less financial stress.

Being single may mean you're more socially and financially free. 

According to a Debt.com study, single people are less likely to have credit card debt, coming in at about 21%. On the other hand, 27% of married couples without children and 36% of married couples with children had credit card debt. 

Financial debt can have a big impact on your health including putting you at a higher risk for heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure. So best to keep the stress and debt low. 

You sleep better.

Being free from a blanket hog or sleep kicker is not only more comfortable,but  it can lead to a big health benefit. A survey by Amerisleep found that, among participants, single people slept better than even people in happy relationships.

A good night's sleep can have numerous health benefits including better focus, better mood, and can keep your body functioning at a healthy rate. And if you really need a snuggle buddy, you can always get a body pillow.

Racing drivers put their lives on the line every time they get behind the wheel, so it makes sense that they're paid handsomely for their services.

Even with salaries on the decline throughout NASCAR, the sport's top drivers rake in huge sums of money.

Meanwhile, the top names in Formula One make significantly more than their stock car-driving counterparts. However, that drops quickly as there is a $25 million gap between the third- and fourth-highest paid racers on the circuit.

Full-time driving gigs in racing's top levels are exceedingly difficult to come by, but those who do succeed are ultimately rewarded with big paychecks. Below, check out the top 15 highest-paid drivers in the world.
