Do you suffer from joint or arthritic pain? Are you interested in trying a natural solution before using prescription medication?
A review of recent studies suggests that essential omega fatty acids found in hemp seed oil, in particular, Gamma Linolenic Acid, (GLA) can have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. This is particularly helpful for those suffering from joint pain. GLA has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms of inflammatory conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS).

I really like Iran, and I really miss it, but I couldn’t be myself there. Even though my family didn’t like my decision, I left Iran. I promised myself that I would do whatever I can for all communities, especially for the kids, so they do not have the same experience I had.
I studied software engineering in Iran and left in 2006. I went to Malaysia and stayed in Kuala Lumpur for seven years. I was admitted to Lincoln University to do my PhD here, but unfortunately, I couldn’t afford the expenses. I requested a scholarship, but they told me I had to be there for six months first. So, I stayed in Malaysia and did my PhD in network security. In December 2013, I came to New Zealand with a work visa.
It took me a while to connect with the Iranian community here. I volunteered with the Multicultural Council, SPCA, and community patrol, and I established the Christchurch Iranian Society in 2017. Before that, I started working on Radio Toranj, the only Farsi-language radio show in New Zealand.
One of the reasons I started organizing cultural events was to showcase Iranian culture. I wanted to show people that we have delicious food, colorful dresses, traditional customs, and our own instruments. My hope was to show people that we are not what you see in the media.
I am working to involve all the communities that celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year, in the Nowruz festival in March 2025. We want to share this celebration not only with our community but with the public as well. It’s better when it’s shared.
I remember the first time someone from Dunedin called me and asked, Hero, can you help? Something happened, and they keep declining Iranian visa applications. When I heard that, I felt insulted. We are still human, so how can they do that?
Through this journey, I’ve learned a lot. Every single day, people with different cases call me, and I try to share my knowledge and guide them as much as I can.
I have received several awards, including the Christchurch Civic Award and an Award of Recognition for my contributions to the community during the pandemic. In 2021, I established Canterbury Kia Ora Academy, a charitable trust. Through this charity, I can help other communities as well, not just the Iranian community.”

This product is suitable for all skin types and tones, very easy to use, plus, is vegan, wheat, soy, gluten and cruelty free too!
Bronzan is designed to increase the melanin levels in your skin so when you head out into the sun the UV rays will activate the melanin to rise to the surface. When this happens the melanin turns a golden brown commonly known as a tan. You will need to be in the sun for at least 20mins.

A North Canterbury community plans to fight plans to create a landfill near their homes.
Protest organiser Mike McCaleb said about 100 people marched from Southbrook in Rangiora to the Waimakariri District Council lawn in High St last weekend, to oppose the managed fill landfill at White Rock.
Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council have jointly notified resource consent applications from Christchurch-based Protranz Earthmoving Ltd, meaning the public can give feedback on the proposal.
But McCaleb said it was a frustrating process.
‘‘Protranz announced they wanted it put to public submissions all along, but if we hadn’t spoken up, it wouldn’t have got the same attention.
‘‘I am happy to engage in the process, but the way the process works I feel it favours the rich submitters.’’
McCaleb said residents were concerned about the potential environmental damage to the Karetu River, which feeds into the Okuku River, and then the Ashley/Rakahuri River.
About a dozen properties use the Karetu River for stock and drinking water, and the rivers are used for fishing and recreation.
‘‘Mahinga kai and asbestos don’t mix,’’ he said.
Increased truck movements is another concern, particularly trucks carrying asbestos and other contaminants to the landfill.
McCaleb encouraged people to make a submission, with a submission guide available on the website whiterock.org.nz.
Protranz is seeking to restore the Whiterock Quarry, at 150 and 174 Quarry Road, North Loburn, to near its previous landform, by filling it with managed fill, building and demolition waste and contaminated soil material, including asbestos.
Protranz founder Gerard Daldry said a class 3 managed fill landfill couldaccept construction rubble and contaminated soils up to a certain level.
‘‘Basically what you’d find if you dig up some land on your own property."
Daldry said asbestos ‘‘is inert - as soon as it is in soil it can’t go anywhere, and it can’t hurt you’’.
‘‘Chances are, you may have soil contaminated with asbestos in your own backyard.
‘‘We’ve had engineers come in and do all the technical assessments and their reports show there is an extremely low risk of harm to the environment.’’
But Protranz would take extra precautions, by placing the material in the landfill on top of a thick plastic liner designed for a class 1 landfill, such as the Kate Valley Landfill.
‘‘It means the stuff won’t leach."
Daldry said there would be about 12 truck movements to and from the quarry each day, about the same as at the existing quarry.
Consent applications have been lodged with both Environment Canterbury and the Waimakariri District Council.
The Waimakariri District Council’s Rangiora-Ashley Community Board has also expressed its opposition, with the council approving $10,000 funding to allow the board to seek professional, legal and technical advice.
Submissions close on October 9.
