Mitt Romney's Foreign Policy Challenge
The Republican's attacks on Obama are more rhetorical than substantive. Is he trapped by his party's longstanding foreign-policy divisions?
It's considered bad form for a president's political opponents to bash him overseas, so Mitt Romney, who is about to embark on a weeklong trip to England, Israel and Poland, decided to get the criticism out of his system while still on U.S. soil Tuesday. In a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Reno, Romney unloaded on President Obama, even going so far as to accuse him of deliberately weakening American defenses.
"If you don't want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your president," Romney said. "But with these cuts to the military, you have that president today."
Romney's speech was full of such blustery rhetoric, accusing Obama of adopting too weak and apologetic a posture toward the rest of the world. Tone is important in diplomacy, and it's possible that simply by taking a tougher rhetorical stance a President Romney would make a major change in the way the U.S. relates to the rest of the world.
But Democrats question whether Romney has real, substantive differences with Obama's foreign policies. For example, Romney harshly criticizes Obama for his timetable for pulling troops out of Afghanistan by 2014, calling it election-oriented political posturing; yet Romney, too, would pull out of Afghanistan by 2014. Similarly, Romney and his advisers blast Obama for not being sufficiently loyal to Israel, but the No. 1 thing he would do differently, according to his campaign, is a symbolic gesture: making Israel the destination of his first presidential trip. (Here's the full white paper on Romney's foreign policy proposals.)
Meanwhile, the defense cuts Romney blames Obama for are the result of a bipartisan agreement intended to scare Congress into reaching a budget deal. And his claim that the White House was to blame for leaking national security secrets was sourced to a Democratic senator who now says she was only speculating.
If Romney's foreign-policy disagreements with Obama are more tonal than substantive, that could be because Obama's foreign policy record, unlike his economic performance, remains broadly popular. And in an election likely to be decided mainly on economic grounds, foreign policy isn't likely to play a major role.
But Romney also appears to be trapped by his own party's foreign-policy divisions -- the ongoing battle between neocons and pragmatists within the Republican Party establishment. Reuters' Mark Hosenball recently described a Romney foreign-policy team "bogged down in feuding and dysfunction":
The team includes personalities strongly identified with contending factions whose internecine battles have dogged Republican foreign policy circles for a generation. One, more pragmatic, group is known as the "moderates." Members of the other, with a harder ideological edge, are loosely known as "neocons," short for neo-conservatives.
Already, fights have broken out over touchstone issues such as Russia and China, according to individuals close to the campaign.
One Romney campaign contributor who has interacted with the outside advisers said they held only one meeting as a group, in the offices of former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. It ended in an argument between moderates and neocons over Afghanistan policy.
Some Republican heavyweights from the more pragmatic, realpolitik school, including President George H.W. Bush national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, have declined thus far to endorse Romney.
And the New York Times' David Sanger reported in May:
Mr. Romney's own advisers, judging by their public writing and comments, possess widely differing views -- often a result of the scar tissue they developed in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Bush-era experiments in the exercise of American power. But what has struck both his advisers and outside Republicans is that in his effort to secure the nomination, Mr. Romney's public comments have usually rejected mainstream Republican orthodoxy. They sound more like the talking points of the neoconservatives -- the "Bolton faction," as insiders call the group led by John Bolton, the former ambassador to the United Nations. In a stormy tenure in the Bush administration, Mr. Bolton was often arguing that international institutions, the United Nations included, should be routed around because they so often frustrate American interests.
Curiously for a Republican candidate with virtually no foreign policy record, Mr. Romney has made little effort to court the old-timers of Republican internationalism, from the former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft to the former secretaries of state James A. Baker III, George P. Shultz and even the grandmaster of realism, Henry A. Kissinger. And in seeking to define himself in opposition to President Obama, Mr. Romney has openly rejected positions that George W. Bush came around to in his humbler second term.
If Romney doesn't have a clear path on foreign policy, that may be because these days, his party doesn't either.

Q: Inno setup: how to replace a string in XML file? The following (in quote) is the content of a XML file which is part of my package.
I'd like to replace the value of c:\path\myapp.exe during the installation (with the real path where the user chose to install the application.
Is that possible? How to?

A: Your best option is to use the XML DOM to select and edit the required node as TLama suggested.
Alternatively, you can install a template file with a known string in the location you want to replace.
The file can then be read as a string, modified and written back out again using something like:
[Code]
procedure WriteAppPath;
var
    FileData: String;
begin
    LoadStringFromFile(ExpandConstant('{app}\app.xml'), FileData);
    StringChange(FileData, 'XXXXXMARKERXXXXX', ExpandConstant('{app}'));

It was great to see President Trump at the top of his game yesterday; completely in charge as he stage-managed a White House meeting with congressional leaders. The often-recalcitrant Republicans came across as the President's docile supporters and the Democrats looked completely flummoxed by an in-command Donald Trump.
The only bad thing about the meeting – and make no mistake it is very bad – was that the whole meeting was about how to grant amnesty to the millions of illegal aliens that Obama attempted to legalize through his unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
We tend to agree with author and conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who, in a series of tweets and interviews, denounced President Trump's apparent willingness to make a deal to allow so-called DREAMers to remain in the country.
Coulter called out Trump for his squishy language about the wall and for expressing a willingness to work with Democrats on DACA.
But there's another thing that no one is talking about as it relates to allowing the DACA illegal aliens to remain in the United States; chain migration.
If the DACA population is allowed to remain and eventually obtain citizenship, under current chain migration rules their parents – the ones who broke our laws and brought them here – would be entitled to legal entry, a green card and eventual citizenship.
So, trading DACA for building some piece of the wall is not a good deal for America's hardworking citizens who have had to compete for jobs, education, housing etc. with the DACA population and their illegal alien parents.
Principled limited government constitutional conservative Rep. Steve King (IA-4) warned President Trump and congressional Republicans on Sunday not to make a deal with Democrats on the DACA population, saying any agreement would result in compromising the rule of law.
"Congress and President Trump cannot legalize DACAs without sacrificing the Rule of Law and broadcasting a call to come to America to be here for the next amnesty. No matter the 'deal' the Rule of Law would fall!" King tweeted according to reporting by Julia Manchester of The Hill.
Ann Coulter and Steve King are right.
As we said in our column "No Mr. President We Don't 'Hope' To Work Out A Deal With Democrats," what all of these pleas for legislation to grant blanket amnesty to 800,000 or more illegal aliens have in common is a complete contempt for the American worker, their quality of life and future prospects.
Moreover, the real goal of this effort is not to merely grant some humanitarian-motivated relief to current DACA beneficiaries, it is to advance the ultimate goal of changing the United States into an open borders globalist econometric society stripped of any of the of the trappings of nationhood or American exceptionalism.
The DACA fight isn't about humanitarian relief for some unknown universe of illegal aliens, it is about preserving the promises made to American citizens in the preamble to the Constitution. Make no mistake, this is one of the battles of our times, because the fight against any bill that grants blanket amnesty to the current DACA recipients is an inflection point in the battle to preserve American sovereignty and nationhood, and in this battle the billionaires are almost all on the other side.

Anchor babies bring almost 300,000 per year. Not all stay of course but they become citizens immediately so they can return at any time. It has created a 'birth tourism' industry.

Dreamers should be deported...They are illegal aliens. They are the worst of the illegal aliens because they are demanding amnesty. Obama gave them Social Security numbers and green cards. They have received massive benefits such as food stamps, Medicaid, scholarships, tax credits, and hiring preference.
Why are congressional Republicans so eager to grant them amnesty?
Submitted by jon exner on Wed, 01/10/2018 - 12:27.
I watched the snippets of the meeting on DACA and it appears to me that president trump is trying to have it both ways. "I'll take the heat"
That is not what I voted for him to do, I voted for him because he said he would build the wall and deport the illegal alien invaders and fix our immigration system.
I have read that Rush Limbaugh believes that Trump is setting up the democrats, I hope he is correct but I am worried that president trump has painted himself in a corner with his conflicting positions he took during that meeting. I just wonder if this is what Steve Bannon was worried about which caused the rift between him and trump.
He said I am sure that these people will come up with a good deal, I will sign it and not demand to add to or take away anything. Then he said the deal must contain funding for the wall.
Well the first position cannot be true if the second position is not met and vise-versa.
Again, I want all the elected politicians from the local, state and federal government all the way up to the White House to answer one question, just who do they believe they were elected to represent the AMERICAN CITIZENS or foreigners.
It must be noted that when it comes to being a nation of immigrants the United States of America really is no different than any other nation. The first immigrants to this land we now call the Untied States was the so called Indians when they crossed the land bridge from Asia to what would become North America. After that there were the Vikings, the Europeans etc..
Every country in the world was created the same way people moving into areas then others followed one group merging with another or taking over by force that is the original immigration process. As people began to create cities then city states and nations the people began to forge a unified commonality with each other where immigration began to be controlled.
God help us to survive this mess created by the open borders let them all in crowd.
Submitted by email_registrat... on Wed, 01/10/2018 - 12:11.
Everything you mentioned was true, but the real point was to show America that Trump is not a lunatic! I think it was a brilliant move on his part. He was informed and took charge of the meeting from the beginning. He showed America how presidential he is. His ability to make the others feel they were actually getting points across and responding in positive terms without committing himself was brilliant as well. The Democrats were duped and now they know it. Putting the onus on them to come up with a legislation he could sign topped the agenda, for we all know the Dems have nothing to offer that will benefit America.

80% of State-owned economic groups earn profits
VNA/VOV
Up to 80% of the 19 State-owned economic groups and corporations under the management of the Committee for Management of State Capital at Enterprises (CMSC) earned profits in the first half of this year, fulfilling more than half of their yearly targets, according to the committee.
Illustrative image (Photo: VNA)
It said after receiving the groups and corporations from the Government and some ministries and agencies, it had separate working sessions with them to learn about their production and business, as well as their difficulties and proposals, thus optimizing capital and resources handed over by the State.
Nguyen Hoang Anh, CMSC President, said since its inception, the committee has been aware of its role in supervising, controlling and implementing State capital ownership, compiling and issuing development policies and strategies and serving as a bridge between State-owned enterprises (SOEs) and legislative agencies.
Anh described these enterprises as economic locomotives that contribute to regulating and orienting sectors in each period of time in a reasonable way, and realising the targets of socio-economic and business development.
CMSC Vice President Ho Sy Hung said between January and June, the committee continued to consolidate its organizational structure and staff, and perfect its internal management regulations.
It also ensured the administrative work and performed its functions, tasks and rights as a State ownership representative towards the above-mentioned groups and corporates, he added.
Regarding the restructuring, equitisation and State capital divestment, Hung said the committee has coordinated with competent agencies to remove bottlenecks during the process. However, the work remains sluggish.
Hung noted that among the 19 enterprises, 16 earned profits, five fulfilled 50% of yearly revenue targets, seven completed 50% of pre-tax revenue targets and four reached 50% of state budget contribution targets.
To achieve targets set for the last six months of the year, he suggested the committee focus on consolidating its organizational apparatus and staff, and closely coordinate with relevant agencies, groups and corporations in business administration, State investment capital and financial supervision, restructuring, equitisation, State capital divestment and initial public offering.
The CMSC, known as the "super committee", made its debut in Hanoi on 30 September 2018.
The 19 groups and corporates under its management include the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam), Vietnam Electricity (EVN), Vietnam National Coal and Minerals Holding Group (Vinacomin), Vietnam Post and Telecommunication Group (VNPT), MobiFone, Vietnam Airlines, Airport Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), Vietnam Railway, Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC), Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines), Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex), Vietnam National Chemical Group (Vinachem), Vietnam National Tobacco Corporation (Vinataba), Vietnam Rubber Group (VRG), Vietnam National Coffee Corporation (Vinacafe), Vietnam Forest Corporation (Vinafor), Vietnam Northern Food Corporation (Vinafood 1), Vietnam Southern Food Corporation (Vinafood 2) and State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC).
According to consolidated financial statements by December 31, 2017, the total value of State equity at the 19 groups and corporations topped 1 quadrillion VND (43 billion USD) and the total value of assets was 2.3 quadrillion VND (99 billion USD).

Ateneo-led scientists discover fern that may help remove mining contaminants
Eldan Sambatyon
The copper and arsenic- accumulating fern Pteris melanocaulon thrives very well in abandoned mining areas in Surigao and Cebu. Photo and caption from the Ateneo de Manila University.
An Ateneo de Manila University-led team of Filipino scientists has made a breakthrough discovery of a fern that may be used to help rehabilitate contaminated mining sites.
The stunning discovery of finding the first type of fern that can accumulate copper in the roots and arsenic in the leaves is anticipated to be very useful especially in the mining industry to remove and stabilize toxic contaminants in the soil.
The Ateneo report states that Arsenic is a toxic metalloid that naturally occurs in some copper and gold mining projects and gets exposed during open-pit mining, contaminating the soil and water in the process. Excessive levels of arsenic may cause major health complications, from skin damage to problems in the circulatory system and even cancer.
Arsenic exposure in waterways like streams and rivers may lead to contamination of the living organisms in such ecosystems. Ingesting fish or mollusks that are exposed to arsenic results in arsenic poisoning.
Ateneo professor Rene Claveria and his team of science researchers found the fern plant that absorbs mining contaminants, copper and arsenic, from the soil.
The team conducts water and soil quality tests in the abandoned mine areas. Photo and caption from the Ateneo de Manila University.
Pteris melanocaulon, an indigenous fern, was initially determined as a metallophyte—a plant capable of growing in soils even when there's a high concentration of metal contaminants.
The fern, found in a copper gold mining study site, was discovered to have the unique ability to absorb copper. While the study progressed, the team was surprised that the fern also had the capability to absorb high levels of arsenic.
The findings, first reported by the Ateneo in September, were published in the peer-reviewed journal, the Chemosphere, in Volume 236 released December 2019 and the International Journal of Phytoremediation.
The Chemosphere journal abstract states that the fern, referred to as a hyperaccumulator, is found in the Philippines' mines such as the Carmen Cu mine in Cebu and the Manila Mining Cu–Au mine in Surigao.

The Ateneo report noted how the team's field surveys and sampling turned up the discovery of the Pteris melanocaulon fern that was able to grow in soils that were contaminated with copper and other elements such as arsenic. These observations were confirmed in potted experiments with different concentrations of copper and arsenic solutions.
The hoped-for propagation of Pteris melanocaulon can clean up entire area, making it suitable for other plants to grow. The plant can help clean up stabilize and revitalize the mining areas that are contaminated by copper and arsenic.
The composition of the team alone is laudable. A collaboration of research scientists from different institutions headed by Claveria, the group includes Dr. Teresita Perez (Ateneo de Manila University), Dr. Dennis Apuan (University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines -Cagayan de Oro), Mary Jane Apuan (Xavier University Cagayan de Oro), and Ellaine Castillo Perez (Institute of Biology, University of the Philippines).
The science team also includes Dr. Augustine Doronilla, a DOST Balik Scientist grantee from the University of Melbourne, who also mentored the team and was instrumental in the discovery process.
"It was Dr. Doronilla who introduced to us to phytoremediation or using plants to remove and immobilize contaminants in soil and groundwater," Claveria said. Doronilla, he added, spoke of the fern's ability as an accumulator.
The science discovery received funding support from the Department of Science and Technology's Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD).

Filipino scientists have made recent science discoveries that can also help the environment, among them, a team led by De La Salle University-Dasmarinas professor Marlon Pareja who discovered how squid ink can help determine water pollution levels and chemists who developed abaca-based non-woven fabric to filter water pollutants.
Filipino science researchers also recently developed the world's first anti-dengue medicine and other medicine from local plants to heal hypertension, gout, and other ailments.
Filipino scientists also invented an abaca SWAN amphibious vehicle for disaster rescue and relief operations.
SEND cheers to the Ateneo-led team and the Filipino science community for their discoveries and inventions using local indigenous plant material to help save people and the environment!

It is an honor to serve and represent the people of House District 53. It is my goal to work with my constituents to preserve our agricultural prominence and strong Hoosier values. My website has been designed to give you more information on our district, to aid you in navigating state government, and to keep you informed on the issues I am working on at the Statehouse. Please feel free to contact me with any issues, concerns or comments.
State Representative Bob Cherry has had the opportunity to serve the State of Indiana in many ways since elected as state representative for House District 53. He became a member of the General Assembly in 1998 after developing an interest in public policy and a desire to represent the people of District 53.
During the 2013 legislative session, Cherry co-sponsored Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 319, which prevented an estimated tax increase of $57 million for farmland across the state. To the relief of countless Hoosiers, the soil productivity factors used for the March 2011 assessment of agricultural land remained in place for property taxes payable in 2014.
As the Budget Subcommittee Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Cherry was involved in creating and passing the state budget in 2013. Without overspending, the budget increased K-12 education funding by $390 million over the biennium and allotted $215 million per year for roads and bridges. The budget also contained a blend of tax relief including the immediate elimination of the Death Tax, reduction of the Financial Institutions tax, continued corporate income tax reduction and phased in income tax cut of 5%. In addition to the state budget, Cherry also supported measures that brought tax incentives to businesses looking to locate in Indiana as a way to grow the Hoosier economy.
Cherry remains equally as involved in his local community in Hancock and Madison counties. He previously served as a Hancock County Councilman and as a member of both the Hancock County Planning Commission and Greenfield Board of Zoning Appeals. He was appointed by the governor to the State Board of Tax Commissioners and is the former Chair of the Agricultural Advisory Council. He is a member of the Elks, Kiwanis Club, Masonic Lodge, Murat Shrine and Farm Bureau. In August of 2007, Cherry received a 33rd Degree in Scottish Rite.
He has received numerous "Legislator of the Year" awards from various organizations, including the Credit Union, Small Businesses and the Conservation Officers. Cherry was also the recipient of the outstanding Purdue Alumni in Animal Science in 2007. He received his B.S. from Purdue University and remains involved in Boilermaker activities.
Cherry and his wife Deborah have five grown children: Keegan, Kevin, Kathee, Stephanie and Jared. They also have 14 grandchildren. Cherry is a member of the Willow Branch United Methodist Church. He and Deb live and work on their family farm near Greenfield.
House District 53 includes large portions of Hancock and Madison counties in central Indiana.
STATEHOUSE (March 6, 2019) — Local Lawmakers honored members of the New Palestine High School football team and girls' softball team at the Statehouse.

I am attaching an image to show you the difference. I am not sure why same font behaves differently in two applications.
I want it to appear in TeXworks the way it appears in MS word. Should I be using any special package
I am running on Texlive2010, ubuntu 10.10 and Texworks.

Pufferfish-A dangerous delicacy
by Matthew Norton
The sea is a dangerous place to live with many of its creatures under threat from bigger animals that want to eat them. Therefore, it makes sense to have defences in place, such as a hard shell to protect their soft flesh, a flexible body to squeeze into tight hiding places, or strong, muscular fins to quickly swim away from danger. Other sea animals produce and store toxic chemicals in their organs, which will poison any predator foolish enough to eat them.
For many species of pufferfish, the weapon of choice is tetrodotoxin which is a nasty neurotoxin that disrupting the electrical signals that pass through an animal's nervous system. Under normal circumstances these signals are transmitted by the movement of electrically charged sodium ions in and out of the nerve cells, which moves the signal along (like a Mexican wave in a crowd).
Tetrodotoxin blocks the channels through which the sodium ions re-enter the nerve cells which, depending on the dose, weakens, or completely blocks the transmission of these electrical signals. Without properly functioning nerves the brain of the poisoned animal will struggle to tell it muscles to move, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, paralysis and breathing problems.
Pufferfish accumulate tetrodotoxin in their skin, liver, intestines and ovaries (depending on the species) which makes them deadly for most animals to eat.
Tetrodotoxin is clearly an effective deterrent against predators, but there are ways to develop a resistance to tetrodotoxin, such as changing the structure of the sodium ion channels, otherwise pufferfish would also suffer from its effects. Even predators with limited tolerance to tetrodotoxin, or no tolerance at all, may still be able to eat pufferfish without getting poisoned for two very good reasons.
Firstly, the toxicity differs between pufferfish species, which suggests that some species need less protection, or rely more heavily on other means of protection, such as puffing their bodies up, or sudden bursts of swimming activity.
Secondly, in most species, pufferfish are not born with tetrodotoxin defences, in fact they cannot produce the toxin themselves and instead keep cultures of toxin-producing bacteria in their bodies. They get these bacteria from their prey, who in turn get them from further down the food chain, but until they can accumulate a meaningful amount of tetrodotoxin from these bacteria they will be vulnerable to predators. The only exceptions are species who can accumulate the toxin in their ovaries, such as the Grass Puffer, Takifugu niphobles, and pass it on to their larvae.
This diagram roughly shows the process that tetrodotoxin interferes with. Sodium (Na+) ions are drawn into the nerve through open ion channels (left side) and flips the electrical charge inside the nerve from positive (+) to negative (-). Some of these sodium ions are drawn further down the nerve to where it is still negatively charged (positive and negative charges always attract), which opens up the next set of sodium ion channels and the cycle is repeated.
Pufferfish have adopted a strong anti-predator defence with their use of tetrodotoxin, but this strategy still has its limitations, which is probably why they have other defences in place. Some marine animals, such as cone snails and arrow worms, have even repurposed the toxin for catching and paralysing their prey, rather than defence. Nonetheless, the use of toxic chemicals for defensive purposes is still an inventive solution in the struggle to survive and not get eaten.
From a human perspective
There are a number of different animal groups that are poisonous to eat because they contain tetrodotoxin, but tetrodotoxin from pufferfish is worth paying attention to because we eat them. Human consumption of pufferfish is possible because the muscle of most species has very low concentrations of tetrodotoxin, which can be removed prior to consumption, and farmed pufferfish can be deprived of their supply of toxin-producing bacteria.
Unfortunately, there are still cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning, especially in Japan and the United States, due to pufferfish meat not being prepared properly, or a being labelled as a completely different, non-toxic, fish. This potentially fatal mistake (for the consumer) was even depicted in an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer Simpson thought he had eaten toxic pufferfish meat and only had 24 hours left to live.
Pufferfish is a seafood delicacy, especially in Japan and the United States, but because of the danger posed by tetrodotoxin in its flesh it has to prepared in restaurants by specially trained chefs.
Fortunately, we can also use tetrodotoxin as a painkiller by reducing the dose to a safe level (relatively speaking) that only weakens the electrical signals in affected nerves, specifically the nerves that tell the brain to feel pain from a specific body part. In modern medicine there it can be used to relieve pain in patients recovering from surgery and suffering from medical conditions that include arthritis, cancer and injuries to the spine and knee joints. Some evidence also suggests that pufferfish meat and eggs, which contained tetrodotoxin, was used in historical medical practices to treat arthritis, leprosy and muscle convulsions.
Tetrodotoxin may be a poison, but carefully controlled doses can, and have, been used to relieve pain from certain medical conditions such as arthritis (top right) and leprosy (bottom right).
Non-fatal doses of tetrodotoxin from pufferfish may also be used insidious purposes such as voodoo zombification. Stories of this practice, where the recently deceased are believed to be magically raised from dead by a voodoo priest, or priestess, originated in Haitian folklore among slaves brought from Africa in the 18th century. These stories received more widespread attention in the western world in the early 20th century and was soon depicted in western literature and early zombie films such as "White Zombie".
Tetrodotoxin's role in voodoo zombification was suggested in the 1980's by Wade Davis, an anthropologist (the study of humans) from Canada who suggested that the practice is partly based in reality. Instead of magic, he suggested that a special 'zombie powder' applied the by voodoo priest/priestess contained tetrodotoxin, extracted from pufferfish, caused a death-like state in the victim, who seemingly rises from the dead as the toxin wears off.
In Haitian folklore voodoo zombies remain under the control of the priest or priestess as personal slaves, which directly inspired the 1932 film called "White Zombie" (right).
Davis's claims were controversial at the time, and remain so to this day for a variety reasons. These include specific criticisms over how Davis conducted his research while he was in Haiti, such as confusion around the samples of zombie powder he collected and the fact he didn't test its effects on mice. There were also personal attacks against Davis, such as claims he was involved in morally questionable activities in Haiti and that, by writing two popular books, he was exploiting the publicity around his findings. These arguments aside (I'd rather not get involved regardless of their validity) the scepticism over Davis's claims is well founded, but if they are true it would hardly be the first radical theory to be rejected at first and then widely accepted at a later date. When Charles Darwin argued that species evolve by natural selection and Galieo Galilei argued that the Earth orbits around the Sun they were seen as radical by many people at the time.
It is bizarre to think that this one toxin can poison us, relieve us from pain and make us think we've risen from dead. Admittedly, the role of tetrodotoxin in voodoo zombification is questionable at best, much like the existence of the practice itself. However, even the idea that this mythical practice could exist in the real world has a powerful effect on human culture and zombies as an icon in popular culture.

Brown Coal Power Imports Staggering and Shameful
Media Release - Thursday, 3 December 2015
Rosalie Woodruff MP | Greens Energy spokesperson
The high levels of dirty energy Tasmania is importing this summer is putting our clean green brand in jeopardy. The latest figures from Hydro are that up to 50% of Tasmania's power is now coming from Victorian coal-fired power stations.
At the moment Tasmania's energy security comes mostly from water stored in dams, but we're a long way from being 100% secure.
Climate Futures for Tasmania have estimated the state will be drier in the future, with less water flowing into our catchments. This will continue to put pressure on us to buy power out of the state, unless we have a plan for expanding the renewable energy mix.
Tasmanians believe that when we turn on the light, it's clean power we are using. The level of brown coal power being imported would stagger most people.
The government is doing nothing to promote investment in any form of renewable energy. They need to step up, and invest in alternatives like solar and wind power, which are cost-effective in Tasmania.
This week in government business scrutiny the Minister for Infrastructure revealed his approach for Metro was to "wait and see" what happens elsewhere, rather than starting to plan for a renewable bus fleet.
The Minister for Energy told Tasmanians at GBEs that Aurora had no place in supporting their customers' renewable energy investments, and he has continued to keep the feed-in tariff low.
We can't have a hands-off attitude to investment in the renewable industry. We need to be actively providing incentives for solar, wind and other renewables.

just right, not to fancy.
meh, not bad movie. didnt like the music.
good stuff dude. love the tune, great frags. no fancy editing required.
Probably the my new favourite q3 video! Sweet frags and editing, the different music brought fresh air.
The music was interesting and new however it wasn't to my liking. It had clean editing and some nice frags. Overall I think it's a very standard movie.
I think it was a very nice movie, the best was the content. It was really nice frags, i didn't like the music very much and the quality wasn't the best. The editing was good so all in all a well done movie!
nice movie.. not over edited, nice frags and love the coop with musik and frags ;) i have fun when im watching this movie!
Its been awhile since we have seen a film by Shaolin, its only fitting to see film showcasing EG's Griffin. Quake III frag films are making a come back, but it would have been nice to see more transitions and intermittent effects as well as a better sync to the soundtrack. The content is great, however the song got old after quickly and with a lack of sync it just dragged on. I guess the only thing left to say is we have all seen better from Shaolin, the overall feel of the film was rushed.

Rustam Nugaev to fight Shafikov
Полоцк портал
Russian lightweights Rustam Nugaev and Denis Shafikov will meet in a world title eliminator in the main event of the Aug. 15 edition of ESPN2's Friday Night Fights.
The winner of the bout, which will take place at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, California, will become the mandatory challenger for titleholder Miguel Vazquez (34-3, 13 KOs) of Mexico.
I have been trying to get Rustam in an important fight for one year now, promoter Gary Shaw told ESPN.com on Wednesday. The IBF had a hard time getting anyone to accept the fight for No. 1, as they know how tough Nugaev is. This is a very tough fight against a very tough fighter, and I expect a war. I was happy to be able to make this fight.
Nugaev (27-6-1, 17 KOs), 31, is riding a six-fight winning streak, including an impressive fourth-round knockout of former title challenger Marvin Quintero on March 7.
The 29-year-old Shafikov (33-1-1, 18 KOs), a southpaw, got a world title opportunity in his last fight but lost a unanimous decision to Vazquez on Feb. 22 in Macau.
Junior lightweight prospect Jose Pedraza (17-0, 11 KOs), 25, of Puerto Rico is ticketed for the co-feature against an opponent to be determined.

Little black un-dress
Woman mortified after buying a 'cute' black dress online but it's so small it doesn't cover her boobs or privates

A LITTLE black dress is always in fashion - it's chic, timeless and sexy.
But a woman who splashed out on what she thought was going to be a "cute" LBD was mortified when it arrived, and didn't cover her boobs or her nether regions.
This woman couldn't stop laughing after splashing out on a dress on Amazon, only to find it barely covered her curvesCredit: tiktok @girlfriendxoxoxo
She took to TikTok to share a video of herself modelling the dress, which featured an extremely plunging neckline and large splits on each thigh.
"So I bought a new dress off Amazon. It looked really really cute online, but on me… I'm just dying," she laughed.
"This is the dress," she continued. "I'm laughing because I just can't decide what to do.
"There's not enough fabric here and there's definitely not enough fabric here."
Failing to conceal her laughter, she continued: "I'm giggling, sorry, because it's funny to me - I have a very cute body but I've been duped by Amazon, dammit!"
Despite her embarrassment over the dress, the majority of commenters told her she looked amazing in the ensemble.

"I think it looks good on you," one person wrote, while another added: "I love the way it looks!"
"That is absolutely gorgeous on you," a third person wrote.
"I see no issues," someone else commented.
In another video, she explained that she'd managed to make the dress wearable by adding a pair of black shorts and a corset.
"Mmm well done. Although it was fine before," one person commented on the video.
