Other stories for your reading pleasure this weekend

Among the other stories we have queued-up in our Pocket this weekend:

Undiscovered Nazi treasure in Polish caves, just waiting to be discovered? If you were ever fascinated by the Second World War or Hitler’s Third Reich — or dreamt as a child of finding treasure — the New Yorker’s “The Nazi Underground” is for you.”

Is it time to wade back into emerging market debt? The CIO for EM debt at JP Morgan asset management thinks it is. Maybe we need that sukuk law, after all? Read more in Institutional Investor.

What’s it like waiting for your memories to be locked-up in your own internal prison? Writes the New York Times:A withered person with a scrambled mind, memories sealed away: That is the familiar face of Alzheimer’s. But there is also the waiting period, which Geri Taylor has been navigating with prudence, grace and hope.”

To mark the launch of its new gadgets vertical, The Verge has penned the State of the Gadget Union, a must-read for tech-geeks out there. “Gadgets are back. And they are messy, complicated, and sometimes terrible. But they’re also wonderful; full of potential that everyone can see and nobody has achieved.”

And speaking of The Verge, imagine being in the pool, happy in lane six, cranking out your morning laps. You hit the far wall and turn to head back, only to find that you’re swimming a slithering, black mechanical eel-robot.
