#Business: Nuclear off the table

There is also disagreement over whether to invest in nuclear power projects. At the World Economic Forum Davos conference in 2016, Jin Liqun stated that nuclear has the advantage of being a clean source of energy and one that can be made safer with lessons from the Fukushima disaster.

The first draft of the energy strategy ruled out nuclear investments in principle, but left room for manoeuvre; it could be considered if there was international agreement on a need in a certain location. The second draft was less equivocal, leaving open only the possibility of funding safety improvements in existing nuclear power plants under special circumstances.

Yu said the language of the first draft on nuclear power was unclear and that many NGOs had opposed it. Yang Fuqiang said the AIIB may want to avoid nuclear investments because it does not have sufficient resources to fund them, and that many Asian countries cannot afford it either.

#Healthwire: Castor oil.

Another possible solution to your wart problem is to rub castor oil on the wart. The oil can help moisturize the skin until the wart breaks apart and disappears.

Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.

#Religion: Congratulations, American “missionaries.” This is the fruit of your heresy in Chiapas.

The unifying theme between both of these stories is the propagation of heresy. Heresy throughout Christian history is traditionally punished severely because it propagates false ideas about the nature of God and His revelation. I speak not of mere disciplinary disagreements, or cases when charges of heresy were falsely used to silence public criticism since both are sins and there are many examples of people abusing this for their own ends. What I speak of are clear cases of heresy, such as Arianism. Arianism is the heresy that Jesus is a superman but not God. Spread originally by the Libyan priest Arius, his heresy infected 75% of all Christians and 80% of bishops. Coming at the dawn of the 4th century, Arius’ teaching endured for centuries after his death and provided the basis for Islamic theology’s denial of Jesus’ divinity. Arius the heretic being devoured in hell while Melchizedek the righteous looks on. But if he were alive today, Melchizedek would be called an “intoleran...
