Poll: Should NZ schools have gender-neutral uniforms?

Sarah Reporter from Stuff

A new law in Wales says schools are required to have gender-neutral uniforms.

This means that while uniforms can include both skirts and pants, schools can't label these as "girls" or "boys" items.

Should NZ follow suit?

Sea Buckthorn is a berry-filled bush from Europe and Central Asia that has long been used in traditional medicine to prevent aging, promote heart health, and clear up the skin.



Modern science has proven many of these benefits to be true, along with many others. The high abundance of antioxidant chemicals, vitamins, and flavonoids make sea buckthorn a great health product.



Vitamins and Minerals:

A – helps to maintain healthy teeth and bones (found in the berries)

B12 – helps with energy production and forming red blood cells (berries)

C – promotes wound healing, healthy teeth and gums (berries)

E – helps to form red blood cells (berries)

K – crucial for blood clotting to stop bleeding (berries)

Lycopene – an antioxidant chemical that protects DNA and proteins

Potassium – needed for fluid balance and muscle function

Calcium – promotes healthy bones, teeth, and keeps blood pressure constant

Magnesium – needed for making protein, immune system health
Iron – needed to carry oxygen around the body

Phosphorus – maintains body pH



Flavonoids:

Hippophaeosides (1-3) – (found in the leaves)
Hippophins (found in the seeds)
Catechin (leaves)

Epicatechin (leaves)

Gallocatechin (leaves)

Epigallocatechin (leaves)

Flavonoids have a high level of free radical scavenging activity, which contributes to sea buckthorn’s protection against oxidative stress, tumor growth, ulcers, inflammation, and stress-induced conditions. 


Fatty Acids:

Palmitic (found in the berries)

Oleitic (berries)
Linoleic (berries)

Linoleic acid and other fatty acids found in sea buckthorn oil secrete chemicals, such as carotenoids and tocopherols, that help ease inflammation and repair tissues such as in the eye.



Natural Sources/Products:

There are a variety of different products made from sea buckthorn that allow you to access the great health benefits.

The berries can be bought in their pure form. It can also be made into juice, which is filtered to produce oil. The berries contain many of the antioxidants of the plant and can, therefore, give the user many of the health benefits listed.

The leaves contain the important flavonoids and can be made into a tea with high concentrations of those same chemicals.
The seeds can be made into highly concentrated oil. It is put into many cosmetic products like skin cream and soap. These can help clear the skin and reduce signs of aging.

Vodafone and the End of Landlines

David from Silverdale

It was interesting to read the recent post about scammers calling and saying landlines would stop working. Well it happened to me last week. Not the scammers, but the land line not working.

Well it happened to me last week. Not the scammers, but the land line not working. It took me a few days to find out why. Vodafone stopped supporting landlines and have gone over to VOIP. Unfortunately, they neglected to tell me. Also unfortunate, they neglected to send over the modem necessary for the VOIP to work. So about a week without a phone. And this all happened within a month of rolling over my contract. The sales people not only neglected to tell me about the changeover to VOIP and the need for a new modem they also forgot to mention the terms of the contract changed, now limited broadband and a two year contract.
Besides this shoddy service ( makes you wonder who the real scammers are), the issue for many will be the unavailability of landlines (Sparc is also apparently going to discontinue), which some still prefer as the safe option during a power outage. As a little bit country and a little bit older, it’s a service I was willing to pay a bit more for. I know, I know...get a cellphone, but I don’t care much for them either. Ah well, the world turns. But in the meantime if your phone stops working and you use Vodafone, now you will know why.
