We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$ variables is called {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} if the function $(\partial x_1)^{c_1}...(\partial x_m)^{c_m} f$ is either zero or $\log((\partial x_1)^{c_1}...(\partial x_m)^{c_m} f)$ is concave on $R_{+}^{m}$. We start with yet another point of view (via {\it propagation}) on the standard univarite (or homogeneous bivariate) {\bf Newton Inequlities}. We prove analogues of (univariate) {\bf Newton Inequlities} in the (multivariate) {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} case. One of the corollaries of our new Newton(like) inequalities is the fact that the support $supp(f)$ of a {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire function $f$ is discretely convex ($D$-convex in our notation). The proofs are based on a natural convex relaxation of the derivatives $Der_{f}(r_1,...,r_m)$ of $f$ at zero and on the lower bounds on $Der_{f}(r_1,...,r_m)$, which generalize the {\bf Van Der Waerden-Falikman-Egorychev} inequality for the permanent of doubly-stochastic matrices. A few open questions are posed in the final section.
