>Evergrande meeting descends into chaos as investor pulls knife and threatens to kill herself
“I don't want the interest on my investment, I just want my money back. So here's what I have to say to you. If Evergrande Wealth doesn't give me my money today, I'll kill myself right here,” she told the staff. “If this isn't handled today, I'll die right here, right in front of you. My retirement savings are all in that investment. I have nothing left to live for."

That is impressive.

Our territory of language already contains the highest population of
sentences that people use. Expanding the borders even more we will
continue to absorb the stragglers outside, until the very last human
critic cannot think of one sentence to "fool" ALICE.
If there is any room left for "higher" natural language theories, it
lies outside the map of the ALICE brain. Academics are fond of
concocting riddles and linguistic paradoxes that supposedly show how
difficult the natural language problem is. "John saw the mountains
flying over Zurich" or "Fruit flies like a banana" reveal the
ambiguity of language and the limits of an ALICE-style approach
(though not these particular examples, of course, ALICE already knows
about them).

China’s Evergrande Debt Crisis: Sizing Up a Big Mess
The property behemoth’s potential default stands to be one of the largest ever
China Evergrande Group EGRNF -6.10% last month missed a scheduled interest payment to overseas bondholders, raising the prospect that October could bring one of the largest defaults in years.
Investors have been grappling with unknowns including what the Chinese government might do in response. Beijing has signaled it is preparing to cushion the blow to national interests. That could include potential aid to Chinese investors, banks, Evergrande’s suppliers and home buyers who committed financially to homes that have yet to be completed.
Evergrande and the real-estate sector in general are important cogs in China’s economy, and the overheated housing market was already showing signs of a downturn. At the same time, few analysts expect good news for the foreign owners of the company’s dollar bonds.
Evergrande last month said it had hired financial advisers and has said that default was a risk.

He would stay at the infamous Chateau Marmont and often order room service, despite the fact that the food was mediocre and the trays weren’t taken away quickly. When she complained, he told her: “Nigella, you’re getting the Chateau all wrong. Obviously they can’t do room service cleanup, but if you kill someone by accident, they will remove the body, no questions asked.”
What difference at this point does it make?
