Keeping the Flame of Saffron Revolution Alive

By 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.

BARRACUDA

By Len Munsil As the husband of a bright, beautiful and talented wife who, after birthing and parenting our eight children is now earning her PhD in political science, and as the father of five bright, beautiful and talented daughters, I am stunned and somewhat outraged at the "talking points" response of some pundits and Democrats to the selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as Sen. McCain's running mate.

McCain’s Pick - Sarah Palin

by GREG MCNEILLY John McCain wins the Vice Presidential selection round for two reasons - better choice and his team executed it with more precision (a.k.a., they know how to be disciplined and not leak). Barack Obama's choice of Biden leaked the night before.

Obama and Black Christians

(Lloyd Marcus is a friend on Black Conservatives and an evangelical Christian strongly opposed to Obama's stand on "live birth abortion." Lloyd offers a message of hope to Blacks too-long held unto the sway of Obama's "Chicago-style politics." He and many other Blacks are working to get Black moderates and conservatives to wake-up and vote NoBama. Tonia and Antoine Members in Chicago are in line with Lloyd. You can see the reasons why sitting with them. Antoine is the GOP candidate in Obama's district. It's been my honor to discuss strategy with Tonia and Antoine. They have my love and admiration.)

Joe Lieberman Is The New Zell Miller

Some conservatives and Republicans are worried that John McCain will choose Joe Lieberman to be his running mate.

On with the show!... “Nobody looking”

The world, as they say, is turning … turning … turning … Are you turning with it? She loved this time of year … tree frogs and crickets singing the end of growing time; early mornings, misty and cool. "Come on, fella," she smiled to the dog at her side, as they walked along the country road, smelling the corn silk, the last of the wild flowers, the fertile earth. With the stray feather of a fluttering dove clinging to a thistle, and a ring-neck pheasant calling in the cropped alfalfa fields nearby, she thought, "So much like myself … so much like my life right now." The world, as they say, is turning … turning … turning … Are you turning with it?
