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

The brown marmorated stink bug is a pest that can infest your home in the thousands, stinks when crushed, and is almost impossible to get rid of. It is also a major threat to our fruit and vegetable industries.

The Royal New Zealand Navy will return a salute to honour the Chileans. However, the ship has been described as a "floating jail" and "torture chamber" by former prisoners, who described being tortured by electric prods, being hung by the feet, dumped into water and excrement, and given electric shocks to their testicles.
The NZDF said the best places for the public to view the salutes were along Queens Parade or the Devonport Wharf.
Do you think a ship with a torturous past should be allowed to dock in New Zealand? Will you go and watch the salutes? Let us know in the comments.

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.
