    War: Xiaomi started mass blocking smartphones
    • Over the past months, users have reported several times about blocking Xiaomi smartphones in a particular region, but since last week, the number of blocks has increased significantly.

      Restricted users report that the devices display a message: “It is Xiaomi policy that the product is not sold in the territory where you tried to activate it. For more information, please contact the retailer directly. "

      At the moment, there is no complete list of countries and regions that have problems using Xiaomi devices. It is only known that problems arise among users in Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea and Sudan, as well as in Crimea.

    Fun science: Orgasm instead of nasal decongestant
    • Cem Bulut, a professor at the SLK Clinics in Heilbronn in Germany, and colleagues, won the medicine prize for research that suggests sex with orgasm is an effective nasal decongestant. Having developed suspicions based on “self-observation”, Bulut recruited a group of co-workers to investigate.

      The obliging couples were trained with a device to measure their nasal airflow before sex, immediately after sexual climax and at regular time points thereafter. According to the team’s report, sex was as effective at clearing blocked noses, for an hour at least, as commercial decongestants, though Bulut concedes he did not get firm data from everyone. “I think some people couldn’t focus on the device,” he said. How sex might unblock the nose is not entirely clear, but Bulut sees a number of factors in play. “I think it’s a mixture of excitement, physical exercise, and hormonal changes that come with orgasm,” he said.

    China: Semiconductors prices shifts can be explained now
    • China plans to become independent in components and semiconductors industry. Therefore, by 2025, the PRC is going to launch its own production of electronic components, and this work is already underway.

      Over five years, the country will allocate $ 1.4 trillion (this is not a typo) for the needs of the electronic components industry. The state will not directly build factories and plants, instead, funds are allocated to Chinese specialized companies under the strict control of officials.

      It is already known that the funds will be received by Alibaba Group, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, SenseTime Group Ltd. and a number of other high-tech companies. The main task set before them is to reduce the dependence of the electronic industry in China on other countries, mainly the United States. This was announced at the launch of the Made in China 2025 program. This year, China will allocate totally about $563 billion.

      In mid-August, the Chinese government released data on the volume of semiconductor chips produced in the country. As it turned out, this figure grew by 41.3% over the year. And the country continues to increase production volumes.

      Huh.

    Good quote: On dreams
    • If you have a dream, never give up believing in your dream, living your dream, and doing something everyday to make that dream happen, but remember, no matter who you are, no matter how hard you work, or how good you think you are at what you do, there will always be an Asian who takes it to the next level.

    China: Largest ever bankruptcy coming
    • The Chinese economy, with nearly 300% of GDP in debt, is on the brink of its first major corporate crisis.

      The second largest construction company, Evergrande, may face a default after reaching a total debt of 1.97 trillion yuan ($ 305 billion).

      Evergrande's two largest non-bank lenders have demanded immediate repayment of some of the loans amid reports of a potential default by the company.

      On Friday, the national clearing center CSDC cut the company's securities from the repo market. The inability to pledge Evergrandе bonds and get financing for them caused panic among investors.

      Evergrande bonds fell sharply on Monday, prompting the Shanghai Stock Exchange to suspend trading. The drop in securities was caused by a decrease in the company's credit rating by the national agency Chengxin.

      If Evergrande goes bankrupt, it will set off a chain of upheavals in the financial sector, the social sector, the real estate market and everything connected with it.

      Last week the international rating agency Moody’s downgraded the outlook for Chinese developers to “negative”, citing falling sales, liquidity risks and a snowball of debt, which is becoming increasingly difficult to refinance.

      Things are bad.

    Humor: The Husband Store
    • A NEW STORE HAS OPENED.

      A HUSBAND STORE!

      THERE’S A SIGN AT THE ENTRANCE:

      YOU MAY VISIT THE HUSBAND STORE ONLY ONCE. THERE ARE SIX FLOORS, AND THE VALUE OF THE PRODUCTS INCREASE ON EACH SUCCESSIVE FLOOR.

      THE SHOPPER CAN CHOOSE ANY ITEM FROM A PARTICULAR FLOOR, OR GO UP TO SHOP ON THE NEXT FLOOR, BUT SHE CANNOT GO BACK DOWN EXCEPT TO EXIT THE BUILDING. So, a woman goes into the store. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

      • FLOOR I — MEN WHO HAVE GOOD JOBS. “That’s nice,” she thinks, “but I want more.” So she continues upward, where the sign reads:
      • FLOOR 2 —MEN WHO HAVE GOOD JOBS AND LOVE KIDS. She’s intrigued, but continues to the third floor, where the sign reads:
      • FLOOR 3 — MEN WHO HAVE GOOD JOBS, LOVE KIDS, AND ARE EXTREMELY HANDSOME. “Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
      • FLOOR 4 — MEN WHO HAVE GOOD JOBS, LOVE KIDS, ARE EXTREMELY HANDSOME, AND HELP EQUALLY WITH THE HOUSEWORK. “It can’t get better than this!” she exclaims. But then a voice inside her asks,“Or can it?” She goes up and reads the sign.
      • FLOOR 5—MEN WHO HAVE GOOD JOBS, LOVE KIDS, ARE EXTREMELY HANDSOME, HELP EQUALLY WITH THE HOUSEWORK, AND HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. Having found what she’s looking for, she’s tempted to stay, but something propels her to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
      • FLOOR 6—YOU ARE VISITOR 42,2I5,602 TO THIS FLOOR. THERE ARE NO MEN ON THIS FLOOR. THIS FLOOR ONLY EXISTS TO PROVE THAT WOMEN ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE. THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING AT THE HUSBAND STORE.

      The store’s owner opened a Wife Store right across the street.

      • The first floor has wives who Love Sex
      • The second floor has wives who Love Sex and Are Kind
      • The third floor has wives who Love Sex, Are Kind, and Like Sports

      The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors have never been visited.
