EU 'to grant Turkey visa-free travel' bbc
The move is part of a deal in which Turkey has agreed to take back migrants who have crossed the Aegean to Greece.
If the European Commission (the EU's executive body) does make the recommendation this Wednesday that Turks be granted visa-free travel in Europe's Schengen area, as whispers from well-placed EU sources suggest, then it will be doing so holding its nose and its breath.

REGULATORS AND ENVIRONMENTALISTS DISAGREE OVER THE RISK FROM FLOOD-RELATED OIL AND CHEMICAL SPILLS IN TEXAS. elpasotimes
Most recently, rainbow sheens and caramel plumes can be seen radiating from tipped tanks and flooded production pads during the March flood of the Sabine River, which forms much of the state’s boundary with Louisiana. Similar scenes are visible in photos from last year’s floods of the Trinity, Red, and Colorado rivers.

Albania hopes to lure tourists with Communist nuclear bunker timesunion
The small Balkan nation has no end of useless military installations and weaponry, a legacy of the paranoid, isolationist regime that ruled it with an iron fist for about 50 years after the end of World War II.

Machine Learning Breaks Bottleneck In Gathering Valuable Information About Cancer forbes
Medical practitioners routinely create clinical reports on their patients that contain a wealth of potentially useful and valuable information. Many benefits could be realized if the information in these reports could be compiled and easily accessed to produce actionable results. For example, the dangerous levels of lead in Flint, Michigan’s water supply might have been discovered sooner if individual doctors’ reports noting unusually high lead levels in children’s blood had been gathered in an accessible format at an earlier date.

3D Printing
3D printing goes to war gizmag
With the ability to work with such a range of materials, 3D printing allows engineers to create prototypes of components and even complete devices in a fraction of the time previously needed and at much lower cost. Not surprisingly, such capabilities have attracted the attention of defense contractors and military planners. The question is, how will 3D printing actually change life for the soldier of the 21st century?
