O! make room for Christ in your hearts, or else He is never like to dwell with you; He loves to dwell with the poor and humble and contrite spirit, He abhors the proud, He will empty your souls, that He may fill them

On #ShutDownStem and #AmplifyBlackSTEM

We’re a little late writing this, but last week we took part in #ShutDownSTEM and spent some time learning and researching about Black botanists. 

First, it’s important to remember that the history of academia, and botany in particular, is pretty darn racist. A lot of plant common names (and some scientific names) are horribly racist. Not to mention that a lot of specimen collections were conducted using slave labor or the infrastructure of slavery and oppression. We as botanists can’t ignore that or pretend that it doesn’t affect people to this day. There are disproportionately few Black people in STEM, and that’s a problem. 

But Black people have always been important in botany, both in research and in agriculture and ethnobotany, which, as you guys know, we’re pretty excited about on this blog. One of the most well-known examples of this is with upland rice growing. Oryza glaberrima, one of the most common species of rice, was domesticated in West Africa 2000-3000 years ago, and still grown there today. It’s hardier than Asian rice, and tastes really good. If you’ve seen the post recently where they show how rice could be braided into a Black girl’s hair to transport it, then you have seen one of the key theories for how this species came to the Americas. Unfortunately, the name of whoever first brought this species across the ocean has been lost. In Suriname and Jamaica, this species was essential to the survival of people who escaped from slavery and brought with them the agricultural knowledge of West African peoples.

Probably the historical Black botanist that most of us know best is George Washington Carver. I’ve actually held some of the bryophyte specimens that he collected in Iowa! Carver was born into slavery, kidnapped, and lost to his family at an early age but eventually became the first Black student at Iowa State University. Living in Iowa, you see his name a lot! Although he has a number of botanical and mycological collections and even discovered some undescribed species of fungi (which now bear his name) Carver is best known for his work with legumes as a professor at Tuskeegee University (then the Tuskeegee Institute), including studying fungal infections in soybeans and the economic uses of peanuts. 

Another historical Black botanist of great importance was Marie Clark Taylor, who was the first woman (of any race) to obtain a PhD from Fordham University in a STEM field. She primarily studied light-mediated development of plants, and after serving in WWII, later went on to be a university instructor at Howard University and teach for NSF programs. 

For those of you excited about mycology, O’Neil Ray Collins studied mating types in the myxomycetes, the work for which he is probably best known. He also served as Associate Dean of graduate students at U.C. Berkeley. 

There are a lot of really exciting modern works by Black botanists and ecologists, too! Particularly, I would suggest looking at the work of Dr. Bryan Dewsbury, known for his research on seagrass (and the Botany 2020 convention speaker this year!) I’d also point you towards Dr. Tiara Moore, a biodiversity research whose work includes the studies of macroalgae, especially in relation to biodiversity in the communities in which they live. We often post about Tanzanian plants, so we’d also like to direct you towards the Tanzanian researcher Dr. Joseph Ndunguru, and Ugandan Dr. Titus Alicai, who study casava viruses. A lot of the time, researchers from lower and middle income countries go unnoticed - don’t ignore their research if it’s in your area of study! Finally, i’d like to highlight the brilliant Tanisha Williams, who was at UConn when I met her, working with Panicum virgatum, a grass we might post about on here sometime because it’s really interesting.

By 1500 a language structure school existed in Bradford and within the late 16th century the wooden houses within the town were revamped in stone.

In October royalist troops made there, to begin with, endeavour to require Bradford but the townspeople effortlessly drove them off. The royalists returned in December 1642 but once more they were driven off.

Laughter Therapy - The Multi-Objective Well being Treatment

10 days in the past I posted a piece about 'The Therapeutic Electrical power of Laughter.' I make no justification for returning to this concept, for we can not be reminded also usually that laughter is a highly effective remedy. This was the perspective of Dr Samuel Johnson, who explained: 'People want to be reminded extra generally than they need to be instructed.' For instance, we all know how to get rid of bodyweight, but how several people today make the daily life model alterations wanted to stay slender? Surveys present that from dawn to sunset small children chuckle about four hundred occasions. When they expand up lifestyle generally gets a lot more grim As a result of the stress and bustle of the rat race adults manage no much more than a paltry four guffaws for every working day. That deficiency demands to be countered if we're to operate at our purposeful best. Laughing is identified to be an antidote for worry, and it is really also a ache free way of shedding pounds. Researchers at Vanderbilt University, Nashville Hangover Cure, Tennessee took a team of forty-5 young adults and showed them clips of both comedy movies or character documentaries. The effects disclosed that the topics showed a ten to 20 for each cent raise in power output when they have been laughing than when they ended up resting or observing the emotionally neutral films. This indicates that chuckling for fifteen extra minutes a day could guide to a excess weight reduction of involving four and 5 kilos in a calendar year. A further US study has proven that laughter improves the functionality of the blood vessels and coronary heart, a hundred daily laughs being the cardiovascular equal of rowing for ten minutes. Somehow we need to start off to see the amusing side of existence, filling our working day with witty asides and amusing retorts. Several individuals realise that John Wesley, the wonderful eighteenth century evangelist, had a really very well made perception of humour. A single day he was strolling down a especially narrow alleyway when he was confronted by a pompous man who shouted: 'Step aside, fellow! I hardly ever make way for fools'. 'Oh,' replied Wesley as he stepped to one facet, 'I always do'. Winston Churchill was also noted for his comical ripostes. On just one event he was topic to a continuous barrage of heckling by William Paling, the Labour MP for Dewsbury, who continuously named him a 'dirty dog' Finally Churchill could stand it no for a longer time, and turning to the hapless heckler, peered in excess of his glasses and in his famed sluggish and slurred supply retorted: 'I am grateful for the chance to remind the honourable member for Dewsbury what a soiled pet dog does to a paling.' Harold Macmillan, his successor, was similarly great at locating witty place downs. As soon as his opposite variety, Harold Wilson, sought sympathy by stating that as a youthful performing class lad he had no boots to use when he went to college. With a wry smile the patrician Harold MacMillan promptly countered: 'If Mr Wilson did not have boots to go to faculty that is because he was also major for them.' In people days, politicians experienced a perception of humour which is so sadly missing in today's grim political scene. In 1962 MacMillan himself was facing a disaster. He seemed in risk of getting rid of his leadership posture, and to keep his management he organised a important shake-up of his Cupboard, a last ditch reshuffle which afterwards turned recognized as 'the night of the prolonged knives'. The younger Liberal MP Jeremy Thorpe created hoots of laughter the pursuing working day when he arrived out with the sardonic riposte: 'Greater appreciate hath no male than this, than to lay down his close friends for his life.' Humour of that variety is lifetime improving, and like any other ability can be made by common follow. Dorothy Parker, the American columnist, was a master of this art. Once she despatched a congratulatory telegram to a pal who'd just presented birth 'Dear Mary, we all understood you experienced it in you.' And when reviewing a guide her dismissive remark was: 'This is not a novel to be tossed apart evenly. It must be thrown with wonderful force'. Wit like this deserves to be shared. Laughter is contagious: be a carrier.

Terrified NHS staff beg for more PPE as more health workers die from coronavirus – The Sun

TERRIFIED frontline NHS staff begged for protective gear last night — as eight more health workers died from Covid 19. Nurses Sara Trollope, 51, Julie Omar, 52, and Gareth Roberts, 63, were among the latest victims.

Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates Mum-of-four Sara Trollope, 51, pictured with Boris Johnson, was months from retirement when she tragically passed The virus also killed mum-of-two Donna Campbell who worked at Velindre Hospital in CardiffCredit: PA:Press AssociationSo too were care home worker Elsie Sazuze, 44, and Filipino hospital porter Oscar King Jr. The deaths took the total for NHS and care workers to 39. Yesterday — as the daily toll of 737 took the overall number of British deaths to 10,612 — one expert warned Britain was on course to be Europe’s worst-hit. The Royal College of Nursing union told members they had the right to refuse to work if they felt unsafe. And nurses who lost a colleague wrote to hospital bosses demanding better protection. Their two-page document, seen by The Sun, details the fear at Watford General Hospital since John Alagos, 23, died at home after a gruelling 12-hour shift. The letter adds: “The loss of our beloved colleague John Alagos put us in an inconsolable state. The cause of his death is still unknown and that makes us all worried to work further in the ward with these minimal PPE.” ON COURSE TO BE EUROPE’S WORST HIT One nurse, who did not want to be named, claimed they were having to reuse a plastic apron and mask. The medic said: “John was not wearing a proper mask — none of us are, even since he died. “Two days ago they even stopped giving us the full gowns that we were being provided with before. “All we have now is a plastic apron which covers our neck to our knee. And we have a mask but it isn’t good enough. It doesn’t protect us properly. We should have a proper mask which covers our nose to our chin, but we don’t. “It is like lessons have not been learned, even though we lost John to this illness. I’m very anxious. We all are.

Elbert Rico, a porter from John Radcliffe Hospital, has also died NHS nurse John Alagos, 23, collapsed and died after a 12-hour shift”We’re worried we’ll get it and suffer ourselves or pass it on to our families.” Asked about the claims, chief nurse Tracey Carter insisted new guidance meant gowns were needed only for working in high risk areas. She went on: “I can assure staff the personal protective equipment guidelines we have in place across our trust follow national guidelines and, in some places, go above the level of protection required.” A survey for the Royal College of Surgeons of England found large regional differences on PPE — with half those in the Thames Valley saying they had enough but only a third of those in the North West feeling safe. In correspondence seen by The Sunday Telegraph, Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Surrey warned on Thursday it only had enough long-sleeved disposable gowns to last three days. Mid Yorkshire NHS Trust warned of a “very limited supply” despite doing “everything it can to secure further stocks”. We’re worried we’ll get it and suffer ourselves or pass it on to our families And NHS Providers warned the national situation was “hand to mouth”. Doctors also told of supply issues with three key drugs. One consultant said his hospital had just five days’ worth of propofol, a sedative given to those on ventilation, while reserves were also drying up of the painkiller fentanyl and the circulation-boosting noradrenaline. Health Secretary Matt Hancock did not apologise over PPE and denied the Government had been slow to stockpile crucial kit. He insisted: “We now have record amounts of PPE that’s been put out into the system but until everyone gets the PPE they need then we won’t rest.” He said it was impossible to set a date by which all frontline workers would get what they needed. And he added: “It’s impossible because the quest is to get the right PPE to the right people on the front line at the right time across many millions of people across the NHS and social care. Health Secretary Matt Hancock did not apologise over PPE and denied the Government had been slow to stockpile crucial kitCredit: AFP or licensors The Prime Minister thanked the NHS in a video message on Easter Sunday after recovering from the bugCredit: Reuters“I’m glad to say that effort is moving in the right direction.” Mr Hancock hailed the “enormous effort” of those currently trying to source more gowns. He said: “They often don’t get thanks, the procurement experts, because they’re not on the front line. “But, by God, do we need them to make sure that we can get all that PPE.” Mr Hancock also pledged to investigate the exact cause of every NHS worker’s death. He added: “We are looking into each circumstance to understand as much as possible how they caught the virus — whether that’s at work, outside of work, and making sure we learn as much as we possibly can. “The admiration for those who put themselves in harm’s way is incredibly high. “They are unbelievable and therefore it’s of course incumbent on us to make sure we get to the bottom of each individual case.” Of the UK’s overall death toll, he said yesterday was a “sombre day”. ‘CURVE FLATTENING’ He continued: “The fact that over 10,000 people have now lost their lives to this invisible killer demonstrates just how serious this coronavirus is and why the national effort that everyone is engaged in is so important. “Their grief is our grief and their stories will not be forgotten.” Meanwhile Sir Jeremy Farrar, a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, admitted the UK’s death rate could outstrip that of even Italy and Spain. He said: “The UK is likely to be certainly one of the worst, if not the worst, affected country in Europe.” Last night Italy’s death toll stood at 19,899 as a result of 156,363 infections. Mr Hancock said: “I think that sort of comment merely reinforces the importance of the central message which is that people should stay at home because that protects the NHS and saves lives. “The future of this virus is unknowable as yet because it depends on the behaviour of millions of people and the Great British public.

Huddersfield were dumped out of the Challenge Cup by Swinton

The Giants’ Aussie coach, whose side are second bottom in the Super League table, was left stunned by a 28-24 home loss to the part-time visitors.

Huddersfield, who have failed to win any of their past eight league matches, were undone by Luke Waterworth’s 76th-minute try in a topsy-turvy encounter.

Shaun Robinson, Rhodri Lloyd, Connor Dwyer and Mike Butt also crossed for Swinton, who have only won two league matches in 2017 but proved too good for the Giants.

Aaron Murphy, Sam Wood, Darnell McIntosh and Ollie Roberts scored for Huddersfield, but the final whistle was greeted by boos from the home fans.

Stone said: “There’s no denying that is a massive blow for us and everyone is very disappointed – you can feel it.

“We had a good enough team out to win but we didn’t. It was embarrassing.”

Huddersfield were the second top-flight club to lose to Championship opponents in round five following Hull KR’s win over Leigh on Saturday.

Swinton head coach John Duffy said: “It was a massive achievement for the club but I’d like to thank our medical staff for doing a great job with the players over the last couple of weeks. They have turned it around for us and the boys really dug deep.”

Elsewhere in the Challenge Cup yesterday, Super League side Salford overcame Toronto Wolfpack 29-22 despite having winger Justin Carney sent off in the first half.

Asked whether Carney had made an alleged racist remark which led to him seeing red, Red Devils boss Ian Watson said: “I’m waiting to see the referee’s report and I’ll speak to the guys involved before I can comment.”

Information on my 7 selected public figures:

The Teacher and Editor - Nellie Jane Peryman (1868-1947)

Our oldest recording of a voter of 1893 is that of Nellie Peryman, who was born Ellen Jane Levy in Wellington in 1868. 

Her voice was recorded in 1943 in the lead up to a general election – which also coincided with the 50th suffrage anniversary. She was something of a public figure, as the long-time editor of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union newspaper, “The White Ribbon”, and a regular newspaper correspondent writing on women’s issues, such as the need to have indecent assault cases heard in closed courts and a public speaker on the evils of "the drink traffic."

She was a grand-daughter of Solomon Levy, a founding member of Wellington’s Jewish community, who had arrived with the New Zealand Company in 1840. Her father Alfred Lipman Levy had married a Wesleyan (Methodist), Mary Ann Mordin in 1867 and it appears Nellie was also a Wesleyan.

As she explains in her recording, she was a teacher at Petone School when she voted in 1893. She refers to helping gather names for the suffrage petitions and the difficulty getting some women to sign. Her name appears on the earlier 1892 suffrage petition, and she may have already been a member of the W.C.T.U. at that point. 

In 1897 Nellie married Reverend Samuel Huxtable Dewsbury Peryman, a Wesleyan minister. His mother and sister-in-law had both also signed the suffrage petition in Canterbury. Nellie remained active in leadership roles of the W.C.T.U. and became editor of its monthly paper “The White Ribbon” in 1913, a position she held until 1945.

In the 1925, Nellie Peryman wrote an article and short booklet entitled “How We Won the Franchise in New Zealand.” In it she wrote the lines which were chosen in 1993 to appear on the Kate Sheppard Suffrage Memorial that was erected in Christchurch to mark the centenary of women getting the vote: "We, the mothers of the present, need to impress upon our children’s minds how the women of the past wrestled and fought, suffered and wept, prayed and believed, agonised and won for them the freedom they enjoy today..”

The Centenarian - Helen Augusta Percival Dixon (1862-1969)

Fame came to Helen Dixon at the end of her life. She was aged 101 at the time of her radio interview in 1963, and every year newspaper articles were published to mark her birthday, until she finally passed away in 1969 at the age of 107, the oldest Pākēha New Zealander at the time.

She was born Helen Augusta Percival Jordan in Parewanui, near Bulls in 1862. 

She married Charles Dixon in 1885, and lived ‘in most cities of New Zealand’ before settling in Auckland in the 1920s.

In her interview she chuckles infectiously when recalling that men felt “very wild” about women getting the vote in 1893. She notes they were worried women would vote for Prohibition and close all the hotels, observing wryly that would have been ‘very awkward.’

In a newspaper article marking her 102nd birthday, she confessed she herself had voted for Prohibition in the election of 1893, ‘” I must have thought it was my duty or something, but I never did it again,” she says. The same article notes that she was waiting for delivery of a half-gallon of port, her regular birthday present from her wine merchant! 1.

 The Wesleyan - Winifred Mona Hills (1869-1970)

As she recalls in her 1963 radio interview, Winifred Hills was born in Greymouth in 1869, ‘at the time when all the miners were there.’ She was one of the 16 children of Wesleyan (Methodist) minister Reverend William Cannell and his wife Annie.

The family moved often (as was the practice for Methodist ministers), living in seven other centres after Greymouth, until by the time the suffrage petition was circulating the country in 1893, they were in Hawera, where William was the local minister. Annie Cannell and three of her daughters, Winifred, Gertrude and Elsie signed the petition in Hawera, and the following year Winifred married farmer Jesse Hills. 

Wesleyan church members made up about 10 percent of the population in late 19th and early 20th century New Zealand. The church became involved in many social justice causes and its followers were enthusiastic campaigners for Temperance. The church urged members to avoid the dangers of alcohol personally, as well as rallying for local and national prohibition. This lead the church to also support of the campaign for votes for women. The reasoning went, that if women could vote, they would vote to control the sale of alcohol for the good of their families – and for this reason the church put a lot of energy into the women’s franchise movement. 

The Methodist Church Archives have found 34 women who signed the 1893 petition can be linked directly to ministers from their church: wives, daughters, sisters, mothers and even a daughter-in-law and a niece. Thousands more women were probably influenced to sign, at least in part, due to the Temperance campaign. This was led by dynamic speakers such as Reverend Leonard Isitt who toured the country continually, preaching on the evils of liquor and its role in domestic violence against women and children, and the breakdown of families.

 The City Seamstress - Arabella Manktelow (1871-1963)

Arabella is one of three elderly women recorded in 1963 remembering voting in the 1893 election.

She was 92 at the time of the interview, but her views on why women were keen to support the Temperance movement are clear and insightful. She says like many women, she voted for Prohibition initially: “Not so much to have liquor prohibited, as to keep it in check, as to get laws for closing hours… They could see what it [alcohol] was doing to a new country. It was ruining it. A few people were getting rich, but the majority were getting poor.”

She comes across in the interview as something of a feisty character, and is cutting in her opinion of Premier Richard Seddon, calling him ‘an old hypocrite’ as he opposed women getting the vote but then congratulated them when the law was passed, saying he “always sided with the winning side.”

Arabella was born in London in 1872 and came to New Zealand with her family, arriving in March 1876 after a harrowing voyage in which their ship was dismasted, becalmed and the crew mutinied. The family settled in Hamilton, but Arabella moved to Auckland around 1890, and worked as a dressmaker. She signed the 1893 suffrage petition while living in Mackelvie Street, Ponsonby.

According to Manktelow family history, her grandmother was French and Arabella was said to have inherited both her skill as a seamstress and her good looks. She is also described as not liking men and never married. 1.

Arabella moved to Mangere to live around 1919, when this was still a largely rural area. She was active in the Women’s Division of the Farmer’s Union and maintained a well-known, old-world garden at her property “The Acre.” She moved back into Auckland city in later life and passed away less than a month after her interview was recorded in October 1963.

The Farmer - Helen Mary Wilson (1869-1957)

Helen Wilson and her mother Emma Ostler, both signed the 1892 and 1893 suffrage petitions in Horowhenua and voted in 1893. Helen had recently married and wrote in her autobiography that she was nailing shingles onto the roof of her house when she first met her future husband, Charles Kendall Wilson.

She and her mother had established a farm on their own near Levin in 1888. Her father had died in 1879 and the family of four had lived a precarious existence in the South Island for several years, supported by Helen's teacher's salary, until she won 20 acres in a land ballot and the two women became the first settlers on the Levin block. 

Helen’s entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography notes: “Through hard work they established a valuable property. They fenced, dug, cleared the land and extended their small dwelling. Emma Ostler became a prominent Levin businesswoman and a leader of the local Women's Christian Temperance Union and women's suffrage campaign. Helen was sympathetic to women's suffrage but had no time for some within the movement whom she saw as extremists.” 1

In the 1920s she became a founding member of the Women's Division of the New Zealand Farmer's Union (a forerunner of Federated Farmers). Helen’s husband entered politics with the Reform Party and they continued farming in several locations in the North Island. Helen eventually served as Dominion President of the W.D.F.U. in the 1930s and during the Depression was involved in setting up boards to tackle women’s unemployment in urban centres. ,She was awarded an O.B.E. in 1937.

In 1950, although losing her sight and hearing, she published her autobiography, My First 80 Years which was very well-received as a story of pioneer life and rural New Zealand around the turn of the 20th century. It was about this time that this radio talk by her entitled “The Status of Women” was recorded. In this excerpt she recalls the criticisms of those who opposed women getting the vote in 1893.

 The Suffragist's Daughter - Hilda Kate Lovell-Smith (1886-1973)

“Kitty” as she was known, is the odd-woman-out in this collection of recordings. Born in 1886 she was only a child when the 1893 election was held, certainly too young to vote. But she is included here because of her first-hand recollections of the suffrage campaigning by her mother, Jennie Lovell-Smith - and her mother’s good friend, Kate Sheppard.

Kitty was born at Riccarton in Christchurch, the third daughter of ten children of Jennie and her husband, William, a printer. Both parents were close friends of Kate Sheppard, whose name was also given to Hilda, who was known as ‘Kitty’ for most of her life. Sheppard lived with the family for many years and after Jennie’s death in 1924, she married William, which made her Kitty’s ‘step-mother’ (although Kitty was 38 years old by that time.)

Given her upbringing, Kitty Lovell-Smith could not help but grow up with a belief in equality for women and she became active in the National Council for Women which her mother and Kate Sheppard had helped found in 1896. She was secretary of the N.C.W. from 1919 -1927 and President in the 1950s. She was also involved in other women’s organisations such as the Y.W.C.A. and Soroptimists.

In this excerpt from a radio interview from 1968 she recalls her mother’s campaigning with the suffrage petition in Canterbury and the momentous day in September 1893 when the Act was passed giving women the vote.

  Sue Kedgley – Women’s protester

Sue Kedgley was a leading spokesperson for the women’s liberation movement in New Zealand. She initiated Auckland University’s women’s liberation group and fought for change on multiple fronts, spearheading protest marches, giving public talks and advocating for changes in the law. She wrote numerous columns on feminist issues and in 1972 published her first book, Sexist society.

Like the early suffragists, second-wave feminists employed a variety of tactics to fight for change. An early protest march highlighting the lack of progress since women won the vote in 1893 ended under the statue of Queen Victoria in Auckland’s Albert Park, a destination chosen to symbolise the need to move on from Victorian attitudes towards women.  

In the early 1970s Auckland University was a hotbed of activism on a wide range of issues, including the Vietnam War, nuclear testing in the Pacific and Māori land rights. In this environment Sue Kedgley and the Auckland women’s liberation group initiated many of New Zealand’s first second-wave feminist events, including a 1972 visit by Germaine Greer – famous for her ground-breaking book, The female eunuch.

Along with Connie Purdue, Kedgley was instrumental in establishing the National Organisation for Women (NOW) and helped organise the first United Women’s Convention in Auckland in 1973, timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of women’s suffrage. Fifteen thousand women (and a few men) gathered to debate key issues.  

In the early years of women’s liberation, feminist groups aimed to be inclusive of all women, whatever their class, culture, beliefs or sexuality. They wanted to raise awareness of women’s oppression and encourage solidarity amongst women. Equal pay, freely available child-care, free contraception, legalised abortion, and an end to sexism were all on the agenda. Many feminists formed leaderless groups in which decisions were made by consensus. Those involved felt that they were on the verge of changing the world.

Despite this inclusive approach, internal divisions soon emerged.  The 1973 United Women’s Convention was split over the emergence of lesbian groups focused on their right to sexual freedom, and over abortion. When a vote confirmed that the majority favoured legalised abortion, 26 women opposed to abortion lobby walked out.

Sue Kedgley continues to fight for women’s rights and equality for all. She worked on women’s issues at the United Nations in New York and has had careers in television and politics at the national and local levels. In 2016 she received the New Zealand Women of Influence Award for Diversity in recognition of her work towards greater gender diversity in the workplace.

In a 2017 interview Kedgley declared that there was much ‘unfinished business’, as women continued to face sexist advertising, domestic violence and pay inequity. For her, feminism is intertwined with environmental issues, health, consumer rights and food safety issues.
