can honey cure?


Lately sciencist in the Uk have been studying the antibacterial tendentices. it would seem that a type of honey bees make in new zeland when they pollinate a certain type of bush. this honey can be used on burns and cuts to draw out the infection, as well as internal problems. the honey is also affective against baceria imunned to antibioitics. this has been used by aboriginal people for centuries before we realized the medical potental of manuka honey. who knows maybe this could be the start of other medical brake throughs for dieases that plague life with fear. if honey can pontental cure things like burns, diabetic foot ulcers, gastro- intestinal disorders (acid reflex, heartburn, and others.). This special honey from the manuka flower has been studied for about 20 years. i'm still skepical as to how well it works but if it is proven to do what they say its a step in the right direction for medical advances.

21st century journalism class

The most interesting thing so far was when Mr. Miller had a girl come in to talk to us about journalism online. She told us how every new paper or magzine now uses technology to get information out to the public as well as print copies. The use of technology has changed the way people get or report news may it just be a blog with a different twist of an important news story. But the good thing about them is that they may only give you a little bit of information that the news didn't but also links you to the main story so you can get the entire story. I hope to learn more about blogging in the future because i really don't know what im doing still. Technology and news go hand in hand these days it might be nice to know how to use it. One day who knows all news might only be on the internet. So heres to getting better and learning about 21st century journalism. Another thing i would like to learn more about is what make an event into news or a story. We've only briefly covered that, and I would like to learn more.
