Sarah Palin Is Not Just An Average Hockey Mom

Ever since the Obama campaign dismissed Sarah Palin as a “former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience” I have been chomping at the bit. Those comments were simultaneously elitist, condescending and contemptuous of small town Americans all over this country.

Keeping the Flame of Saffron Revolution Alive

The Saffron Revolution 2007: Monks march for peace with the holy image of BuddhaBy Ahmedur Rahman Farooq, rohingyareview.com The violent crackdown of the Saffron Revolution in September 2007 has added a deep notch in the scale of atrocities of the Burmese military rulers. It is true that the Saffron Revolution could not remove the regime from the power, but it has so badly wounded the regime that they will never be able to heal the scar. Earlier, people witnessed the brutalities of the military regime mostly on the unarmed civilians, but the crackdown of the Saffron Revolution has demonstrated to the people how brutally they can kill, torture and suppress the monks whom the people of Burma hold in the highest regards and reverence. It has seriously attacked the senses of the common people and caused a permanent disgust among them against the regime. Every year September will come to remind them the scale of brutalities of the military regime on the monks. The brutal oppression of the regime and the bloods of the monks spilled in the streets has opened the eyes of the people to see the true identity of the regime and woke them up once again from psychological derailment tactics of the junta.

Honey proving to be highly effective wound healer

Rising cost of honey production, reduction of honey prices and global competition has meant that very few Canadian honey producers are profitable, leading to a drastic decrease in the number of commercial beekeepers. There are currently about 8,000 beekeepers in Canada, with the majority of them (2,600) living in Ontario. One solution to help bring viability back to the domestic honey industry is to develop new products and niche markets. One high-value option is the use of honey in the treatment of burns and wounds. Honey has been used as a medicine from ancient times by many old cultures, including the Egyptians, Persians and Chinese. Hippocrates (357 BC) and Aristotle (384-322 BC) both wrote accounts of the use of therapeutic honey.
