   		  <title>Multiplier Effect theory supports 'I'm with Stupid' survival technique</title>
		 <description><![CDATA[Multiplier theory expands concept of 'survival of the fittest' to incorporate learned behaviour as a survivalist technique. It means that mindless survival strategies (those which do not involve strategic analysis or evaluation) are just as likely - if not more - to promote your likelihood of survival and general wellbeing as those which involve an intelligent assessment of information to influence key lifestyle decisions.]]></description>

Over 56,000,000 years ago, our world experienced Arctic conditions which even the warmest, hardiest of UGG boots wouldn’t have weathered, but after many years of glacial temperatures the Arctic experienced a sudden change.
