"Torture ship" to receive 21-gun salute in Devonport on Friday

Hi neighbours. Chilean Training Ship Esmeralda will arrive at the Devonport Naval Base at 9am on Friday and will fire a 21-gun salute "in recognition of New Zealand's Queen and the country".
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.

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.
