    Just give me a reason. Why do you have to report here every fucking death you read on Wikipedia? I'm sure you can find many activities more interesting than this, and this is not setting the bar very high.
  11. Fuck it! One of the great theoretical chemists of the 50s, PPP is being rediscovered as a simple, semiempirical model which allows to get to full Configuration Interation (CI) with a minimal basis set. Not a household name, but surely very known within chemistry. Huge shame his death went completely unnoticed.

    Xi Jinping

    Not a good period for Xi. China's economy is facing troubles and he has recently purged Foreign Affairs minister Qin Gang and Defense Minister Li Shanfu apparently with no explanation. He seems to be disliked by the progressive wing of CCP (the late Li Keqiang, Hu JIntao's clique, elders as Tian Jiyun, Hu Qili, Zhu Rongji) and even by the old school hardliners (like Song Ping). Recently he received strong direct critique from Chi Haotian and Zheng Qinghong and was reportedly furious after the meeting. He seems just like a pale copy of Mao Zedong, I don't think he will hold power for life as he wishes.
