Business Insider reports Norwegian deputy central bank governor Jon Nicolaisen resigned on Friday. Nicolaisen was in charge of Norway's $1.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the biggest in the world. He stepped down after Norway's security service rejected his security clearance because his wife is Chinese and lives in China. The pair have been married for ten years, but Norway has become stricter on ties to China and Russia in recent years. Norway's intelligence service says the two countries are trying to find out information about Norway's petroleum industry.
This modern day Elon Musk created his own Tesla after reading some articles on the Internet and applying a bit of elbow grease!

Additionally, the car features independent in-wheel motors for each wheel, large indoor space for family use and large storage space due to the absence of a central engine.
This fitness enthusiast is not your average senior citizen. Yang Maolin says that regular exercise is the secret to his age. How old is he exactly? Actually, he's 101 years old. Yang lived all his life in the countryside until he left three years ago after his wife died. He moved to China's Xi'an to live with his children, but never stopped exercising. The 101-year old has become very popular in his new home town, where many locals recognize him at Revolution Park. It seems like a no brainer to suggest that regular exercise is the secret to a long and healthy life.
