In this photo taken on Tuesday, April 15, 2014, a Norwegian Red calf waits for food inside a farm in the village of Kozarac, near Bosnian town of Perijedor, 250 kms northwest of Sarajevo. Bosnian farmer Jusuf Arifagic invested eight million euro into the luxury farm that started four months ago with the import of 115 Norwegian Red Cows - a type of tough and hornless animal bred in Norway over the past 75 years to produce more and better milk than the usual cow known in the Balkans. He plans to expand into the biggest facility keeping this type of animal in Europe with 5,000 cows. In a country where half of the population is living in poverty, his animals sleep on mattresses in a barn with a computerized air condition and lighting system. They are bathed regularly, get a massage whenever they feel like it and receive the occasional pedicure.(AP Photo/Amel Emric) (AP Photo/Amel Emric)

FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2016 file photo, discontinued Indian currency notes of 1,000 denomination are seen after they were deposited by people at a bank in Bangalore, India. Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, in his Nov. 8 televised address, announced the demonetization of India’s 500 and 1,000-rupee notes, which made up 86 percent of the country’s currency. There are doubts about whether the demonetization drive will truly make an impact on corruption and tax evasion. India’s underground economy is so big it accounts for up to a quarter of the country’s gross domestic product. And many of those possessing piles of black money have come up with ways to save much of it without drawing government attention. (AP)

Johnson, an Air Force veteran, was 70 years old when he died. VA officials concluded that Johnson died in an accidental fall, but local prosecutors filed a manslaughter charge against the nursing assistant, Fredrick Kevin Harris. His trial, currently set for March 7, 2016, is expected to be postponed. (AP Photo/Michael Kunzelman) (AP)

On Friday, Feb. 26, 2015, the U.S. government said Zika infections have been confirmed in nine pregnant women in the United States. All got the virus overseas. Three babies have been born, one with a brain defect. (James Gathany/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention via AP)

FILE - In this Tuesday, June 3, 2008 file photo, an employee smokes a cigarette at a bar and restaurant in Harrisburg, Pa. In a study released Wednesday, May 13, 2015, smokers with $150 of their own money at stake were far more likely to quit than smokers who didn’t have to wager their money to get cash rewards. "A bit of a stick was much better than pure carrot," said the study's lead author, Dr. Scott Halpern of the University of Pennsylvania. But here’s the catch: Few people were willing to bet on themselves. Nearly everyone who was offered the rewards-only option, though, signed up for a stop smoking program.
