In 2018, nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants went on strike for the first time in 29 years. They won significant concessions from the DHBs, but their ultimate goal of addressing the chronic understaffing was promised and not delivered. At the start of the bargaining there was no campaign, and members of the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, NZNO, built one themselves, against the wishes of their union leadership.We spoke with;Erin, a nurse based in WellingtonGrant Brookes, member elected President of the NZNO @grantbrookesnzGeorgia Choveaux, who started the campaign as an NZNO organiserFollow 1/200 on Twitter (@1of200podcast), host Huw Morgan (@huwcmorgan) or (@blueprintspod)Support 1/200 on Patreon so we can build a left-wing media presence in NZThanks to Masarima and Clone Records for the title musicThanks to Ethan Hunter for his musicPlease leave us a 5* review, it helps other people find the podcast !

In 2016, Aotearoa New Zealand's parliament passed a law banning the use of Zero Hours Contracts. In the preceding two years, Unite the Union had forced fast-food companies to stop using them in their contracts. The campaign was the culmination of their organising which started in the Supersize My Pay campaign from 2003.The campaign was an excellent example of having an industrial strategy as a lever for a political strategy. By having a concrete focus - trying to stop fast-food companies from using Zero Hours - they were able to create a national outrage against the practice, which ended with a National government supporting a change to the law. As many successful campaigns are, they also got lucky, because the media latched onto the issue and covered it in detail.We spoke with;Mike Treen, Unite's National Director at the timeYvette Seep, Unite delegate and Assistant Manager at Restaurant Brands at the time.

On this day 35 years ago, July 9, the homosexual law reform bill passed it's third reading and sex between men was finally decriminalised. The campaign polarised New Zealand to levels not seen since the Springbok Tour in 1981, as a vicious anti-campaign took hold, driven by fundamentalist churches.The campaign mobilised support from a broad range of organisations, as gay men, lesbians and others tried to keep their coalition together, in the face of different objectives internally and ferocious hostility externally.We spoke with;Bill Logan, the Gay Task Force spokesperson at the time (@BolshevikBill) Fran Wilde, who was the Labour MP that sponsored the billRuth Dyson, future Labour MP and parliamentary assistant to FranEvin Wood, who was a 40 year teacher in Blenheim at the timeTighe Instone, a lesbian who became politically active for the first time during the campaign (My thanks to PrideNZ and Tighe for letting me use their interview for this episode)PrideNZ's amazing library of archival content on this periodThe Elizabeth Kerekere interview where she talks in depth about the term takatapui and its useThe Lesbian and Gay Archives NZ, with a book on the campaign amongst other great contentFollow 1/200 on Twitter (@1of200podcast), and host Huw Morgan (@huwcmorgan) or (@blueprintspod)Support 1/200 on PatreonThanks to Masarima and Clone Records for the title musicThanks to Ethan Hunter for his musicThanks to Daniel Hart for the backing musicPlease leave us a 5* review, it helps other people find the podcast !

In 1981, at the same time as Ronald Reagan, an anti-tax, far right celebrity won the Presidency, socialist Bernie Sanders became the mayor of Burlington in the then conservative state of Vermont. The campaign around him stunned everyone, and won by just 10 votes. It was the start of a political revolution in Vermont, and the strategy for how they won and then governed would, against all the odds, win them a clear majority in the 1983 re-election.

On May 29 2019, Aotearoa New Zealand's entire education sector went out on a ‘mega-strike', for the first time in history. During 10 years of the National Government the education sector was in crisis. NZEI Te Riu Roa, the primary teachers union, had steadily grown its capacity to campaign when teachers resisted some of the worst reforms imposed on them. By 2019 the profession was united around a strategy of deep member engagement, escalation and a clear narrative, ‘It's Time'.We spoke with NZEI Campaign Director Stephanie Mills, lead negotiator at the time and current NZEI President Liam Rutherford (@lrutherfordnz) and Auckland based primary teacher Kahli Olivera.John Campbell's report from the mega-strikeArticle on the Chicago TeachersFollow 1/200 on Twitter (@1of200podcast), and host Huw Morgan (@huwcmorgan) or (@blueprintspod)Support 1/200 on PatreonFollow NZEI (@NZEITeRiuRoa)Thanks to Masarima and Clone Records for the title musicThanks to Daniel Hart for the backing musicPlease leave us a 5* review, it helps other people find the podcast !

Die Story kurz zusammengefasst: Im Mittelpunkt dieses beeindruckenden Meisterwerks steht die Geschichte der Familie Morgan, die Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts im Süden von Wales ein einfaches, aber zufriedenes Leben führt. Doch die Idylle findet ein jähes Ende, als man im Tal Kohlevorkommen entdeckt, denn schon bald entbrennt zwischen der Dorfgemeinschaft und den skrupellosen Grubenbetreibern ein rücksichtsloser Interessenkampf. In Rückblicken erzählt der 60-jährige Huw Morgan wie er als kleiner Junge das Leben seiner Eltern, sondern auch sein Eigenes von Grund auf veränderte. #oscars #oscar #movie #film #cinema #kino #filmabend #netflixandchill #netflix #podcast #anchor #spotify #itunes #howgreenwasmyvalley #schlagendewetter #johnford #ford #weltkrieg

Today we celebrate the man who established the science of botany in America. We'll also learn about the botanist who survived a plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness - an incredible story. We celebrate a presentation from 1977 that encouraged, "Take a pill if you will; I say take a plant to cope with everyday stress."

It's that easy.   Curated News Migratory Birds Like Native Berries Best | Audubon “Even when fruits of invasive plants are abundant, migratory songbirds seek out native berries, according to new research. As winter approaches and the food supply dwindles, birds move south and devour fall fruits along the way to fuel their trip. But they don’t eat just any fruit on their autumnal journeys: Birds are after native berries, according to a study published in Biological Conservation in January. Even in late autumn, when fruits of invasive plants like Japanese barberry and multiflora rose dominate the landscape, migratory songbirds traversing New England seek out native blueberries, black cherries, and raspberries instead. North American birds evolved alongside North American plants for many thousands of years, so these are the berries they’re most familiar with. But that’s not the only reason to choose one fruit over another: Previous research has found that native fruits are more nutritious than their invasive counterparts. ‘They can’t be eating fast food before they take off on really long migrations,’ says ecologist Amanda Gallinat at the Utah State University, who led the new study. ‘They need something with high energy.’”   Our Favourite Garden Blogs..... | Sitting Spiritually The Blackberry Garden  Leicester-based ‘amateur and somewhat obsessed gardener’ Alison Levey opens the gates to her own garden, as well as inspirations and things about gardening that make her happy.  Her Instagram is definitely worth a follow to Instagram @blackberrygarden Dig Delve| Dig Delve features the writing of garden and landscape designer Dan Pearson and includes stories about gardens, horticulture, plants, landscape, nature, food ...all with stunning photography by Dan’s partner Huw Morgan.

Today's chore was featured in The South Bend Tribune out of South Bend, Indiana, on this day in 1952. Here's what it said, "Don't plant your shade tree so that It shades your neighbor's yard Instead of your own. If you set the tree on the eastern border of your property, it will shade your neighbor's yard instead of your own garden during the hottest part of the day, in the afternoon. ...Consider your plantings as a permanent investment in beauty and comfort that is worth real thought."   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.   Now, if you'd like to check out my curated news articles and blog posts for yourself, you're in luck, because I share all of it with the Listener Community in the Free Facebook Group - The Daily Gardener Community.

Gray was frustrated by all of the delays, he was a person of action, and he also disliked Captain Charles Wilkes. Gray disagreed with Wilkes about the Latin descriptions of the new taxa, and he also disagreed with Wilkes's staffing rules. Wilkes wanted to work with Americans only. But, Gray knew the work of the expedition would suffer without the help of European experts. So, Gray decided to pivot, and he left the expedition to accept a position at the University of Michigan. But, before he could officially start that job, Harvard wooed him away. At Harvard, Gray established the science of botany in America, and he guided the country into the international botany arena and made it competitive. And, that was due, in large part, to all of the great relationships Gray had established with European botanists. And, Gray was also terrific friends with Charles Darwin. So, it's no surprise to learn that it was Asa Gray who said, “Natural selection is not the wind which propels the vessel, but the rudder which, by friction, now on this side and now on that, shapes the course.”   1949 On this day, a 79-year-old botanist, Dr. Melville Thurston Cook, his wife, and their pilot were rescued by an Air Force helicopter after a week in the Alaskan wilderness. Cook reported they survived on 90 dozen eggs after their plane was forced down in the rugged Brooks Mountain range. As luck would have it, one thousand eighty eggs were aboard the plane as cargo. Cook shared their ingenuity with the world, telling how they had not lacked for variety in their preparation of the eggs, enjoying fried eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, shirred eggs, and omelet. Naturally, when he wasn't eating eggs, Dr. Cook collected specimens. Dr. Cook, who would be 80 in September, and his wife had been vacationing in Alaska. In newspaper accounts, he said he never doubted the party would be saved. But the crash had impacted their priorities. Following the accident, Cook and his wife moved to be closer to their children. One of their four kids followed Cook's footsteps to become a plant pathologist, Dr. Harold T. Cook. Before the accident, Cook was finishing up his career by working as a visiting part-time professor of plant pathology at Louisiana State University. During his prime, Cook had gone botanizing with Nathaniel Lord Britton and Elizabeth Gertrude Britton in Puerto Rico. He had also worked with Henry Allan Gleason at the New York Botanical Garden - rubbing shoulders with botanical giants.   1977 On this day, Ethan Allen and Elvin McDonald of House Beautiful (ww.housebeautiful.com) gave an inspiring presentation called "Decorating with Plants." McDonald revealed many new decorating-with-plant ideas. Keep in mind; this was three decades before Instagram. Otherwise, McDonald would have no doubt share photos of the over 300 plants in his apartment. In the newspaper promotions for his presentation, McDonald was quoted as saying, "Take a pill if you will; I say take a plant to cope with everyday stress."   1983 On this day newspaper headline on this day in The Town Talk in Alexandria, Louisiana said, 'Rare Plant Halts Road Work.' It turns out, a fifteen-million-dollar highway-widening project near College Station was stopped because it threatened a tiny, rare, and unusual orchid plant. The Spiranthes parksii (ii = "ee-eye"), is also known as Navasota Ladies' Tresses because it grows along the Navasota River. This rare orchid is only six inches tall with white blooms. First discovered in 1945, the Spiranthes parksii was described by Donovan Stewart Correll in his 1950 book, Native Orchids of North America North of Mexico.  And, when it became protected, the Navasota Ladies' Tresses were only the 54th U.S. plant species to be classified as endangered.   1988 On this day, British plant explorer Roy Lancaster revealed that a thriving black market for plants was threatening rare Chinese orchids. In the same way, an art collector might buy stolen works of art underground; elite plant collectors are the wealthy clients of orchid smugglers. Lancaster shared the plight of Paphiopedilum armeniacum ("paff-ee-oh-PED-ih-lum ar-MEN-ee-A-cum"), commonly known as the Golden Slipper Orchid - a rare orchid, which was discovered in 1980 but was 100 percent harvested from the world in 1983. In just three short years, the Golden Slipper Orchid had gone from discovery to presumed extinction.   Unearthed Words Here are some poems about summer:   The summer looks out from her brazen tower, Through the flashing bars of July. — Francis Thompson, English poet, A Corymbus for Autumn   Leaving the house, I went out to see The frog, for example, in her satiny skin; and her eggs like a slippery veil; and her eyes with their golden rims; and the pond with its risen lilies; and its warmed shores and the long, windless afternoons; like a dropped cloud, taking one slow step then standing awhile then taking another, writing her own soft-footed poem through the still waters. — Mary Oliver, American poet, Summer   Summer is come, for every spray now springs; The heart hath hung his old head on the pale; The buck in brake his winter coat he flings; The fishes flete with new repaired scale; The adder all her slough away she slings; The swift swallow pursueth the flies small; The busy bee her honey now she mings; Winter is worn that was the flowers' bale. And thus I see among these pleasant things Each care decays, and yet my sorrow springs. —Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, English poet and politician, Sonnet 7   Grow That Garden Library The Flower-Powered Garden by Andy Vernon This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Supercharge Your Borders and Containers with Bold, Colourful Plant Combinations.

In the episode, rare black Peruvian roses robbed Samantha of her witching powers and gave her little green square spots on her face. Aunt Clara remembers that the Peruvian black rose was used to drive witches out of Peru. She sends Darrin off to gather items for the antidote, and then she brewed them all together. She needed bat wings, porpoise milk, the eye of newt, and an ostrich feather. Luckily for Samantha, Aunt Clara said that she could only get Peruvian black rose sickness once.

The Romans, Vikings and Normans ruled Britain for many years, but few left their genetic calling cards behind in the DNA of today's mainland Caucasian population. That's one of the insights from the most comprehensive analysis yet of the genetic make-up of the UK's white British population. As the study's lead author Peter Donnelly explains it's produced some big surprises, not least how in contrast, the Anglo Saxons invasion was to account for up to 40% of the genetic mix in much of southern Britain. Much of Britain's current historical information is from a relatively small subset of people, but a genetic study like this sheds light on the history of the masses. The Royal Botanical Gardens Kew is currently at the forefront of trialling drone technology to map and locate remote vegetation The aim is to examine plant health and deforestation in detail, particularly in inaccessible areas around the globe. The team led by Justin Moat and Oliver Whaley have recently returned from Peru, where they've examined the fragile ecosystem threatened by mining in the Lomas region. BBC Inside Science's Sue Nelson was deployed to join the Kew team for a Drone test run. As our energy needs become greater, the impetus to tap the sun's energy directly becomes ever more urgent.

Helen Mark visits Brighton to find surprising wildlife in the city. She finds an urban flock of sheep grazing on ancient chalk downland areas in the city. Their gentle nibbling is kinder to wildlife than mowing and ensures that green spaces stay clear for wildlife and people. Helen meets a volunteer shepherd in charge of watching the sheep through the winter months. Nearby, Moulsecoomb Forest Garden and Wildlife Project works with excluded school pupils growing vegetables and gardening for wildlife. Helen is shown the project's tree house, outdoor clay oven, turf sofa, and traditional bee hive. Now a thriving garden run by an army of volunteers the original piece of land, hidden away behind Moulsecoomb railway station, had been left overgrown and derelict for nearly twenty years. Down on Brighton's beach Helen joins Huw Morgan from Sussex Wildlife Trust as he splashes around in rock pools with children from a local school. Their city centre school lacks green space for them to explore so the beach is the perfect place for them to run free and learn about marine wildlife and sustainable fishing. Producer Beatrice Fenton.
