Dual citizenship is a tricky subject in Austria since it is largely illegal. But its Turkish population has reportedly been registering in both their country of homeland and their new adopted country.

The country’s politicians are now reacting to the Turkish referendum and the fact that over 73% of Austria-based voters supported the push for constitutional change.

The result of perceptions in Austria that Turks, among the largest groups of migrants to the country,  refuse to assimilate even decades after arriving. Such fears are part of larger Europe-wide concerns that migrants represent a threat to the continent's values. 

If found to be holding dual citizenship illegally, then offenders would be stripped of their Austrian citizenship as well as incurring a €5,000 fine. Officials hope that these punishments will act as a deterrent.              Just a thought.

A popular French fitness model has died after being hit by an exploding whipped-cream dispenser. The horrifying accident occurred, when the pressurized canister Rebecca Burger was using at home blew up and collided with her chest, sending her into cardiac arrest.  French media report that medics were able to get Burger’s heart beating again, but she was unconscious at the hospital and died the very next day, sadly.

For years, consumer groups have been warning that defective connectors in those devices can cause the nitrous-oxide chargers to break off and shoot out “like a rubber bullet.” Dispensers operate by piercing what are frankly very volatile capsules with pins to fill their canisters with gas — something that doesn’t sound very safe at all when it’s put in those terms. Projectile capsules have reportedly broken teeth and put out eyes, and a victim in France who suffered six broken ribs and a cracked sternum told the press in 2013: “I was told that if the shock and blast had been facing the heart, I would be dead now.”

A former government employee has been arrested and charged with providing top-secret documents to a Chinese intelligence in exchange for $25,000 and lying to investigators.

Kevin Mallory,  could face the death penalty "if certain conditions are met." His top-secret security clearance was terminated in October 2012 when he left government service. 

Prosecutors allege Mallory, a U.S. citizen who speaks fluent Mandarin, traveled to Shanghai in March and April and met with a person who said he worked for the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences (SASS), a Chinese think tank that the FBI said frequently provides cover for Chinese intelligence operatives.

According to the affidavit, Mallory consented to a search of a device he used to communicate with the Chinese operative during an interview with FBI agents on May 24. Investigators allegedly discovered messages on the device from Mallory to the operative in which he described obscuring classification markings on documents transmitted to the operative.

In one message on May 5, Mallory allegedly told the operative "your object is to gain information, and my object is to be paid for," according to the affidavit.

The process of changing healthcare is one difficult process. For once, it's label,
repeal and replace which makes it difficult to swallow by the Democrats.

Then the Senate and the congress comes in place. Every member wants his/her name known for something. Hence they opposed or agreed slightly, or just talk, talk and talk.

At the end, something is going happen, opposed by those who lost recently. It is controlled by the money and the "lobbyist" influence on campaign donation. New Jersey is the base of many big Pharma, so mark the Menendez and the Cory for the opposition of any thing that touch the revenue.

Obama care was not the end of the road of healthcare improvement. It is a step to be followed.

Jack Ma, the poster child for the benefits of globalization: trained as a teacher, he founded e-commerce platform Alibaba in 1999 and is now a billionaire.

Now he's predicting another benefit for humans: drastically shorter workweeks.
The billionaire businessman said in the next three decades, "people [will] only work four hours a day and maybe four days a week.

My grandfather worked 16 hours a day in the farmland and [thought he was] very busy. We work eight hours, five days a week and think we are very busy."

That's about the same number as famed economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930, when he said in 100 years the workweek will be much shorter, around 15 hours per week as automation increasingly takes care of people's material needs.
Ma also said people in the future will be able to vacation in a far greater variety of places.

Not going to happen.....   Just a thought.

Flash...

The price of ethereum [alternative to Bitcoin] crashed as low as 10 cents from around $319 in about a second on the GDAX cryptocurrency exchange, which is being blamed on a "multimillion dollar market sell" order.

As the price continued to fall, another 800 stop loss orders and margin funding liquidations caused ethereum to trade as low as 10 cents.

A stop loss order is executed automatically once a security hits a particular price. Margin funding is essentially trading with borrowed funds. Liquidation is when these positions are closed automatically in order to prevent further losses. The knock-on selling effect caused the flash crash on GDAX.

Whatever it is....  the basics is there.
