The year 1773 saw increasing agitation among Blacks in Boston and Massachusetts for an end to slavery. On January 6, then in April, and again in May, they sent petitions first to royal General Thomas Gage and next to the Massachusetts legislature, denouncing slavery as destructive of natural rights and seeking the right to earn money to purchase their freedom. Finally, in 1780 slavery was abolished in Massachusetts when a Declaration of Rights was added to the state constitution. In 1781, as a result of court decision in the case Commonwealth v. Jennison, slavery in the state was declared unconstitutional.

LOCAL female hip-hop rapper and former radio personality Black Bird, born Nonkululeko Vundla, says she has been subjected to sexual harassment in the cut-throat competitive music industry in her journey spanning over a decade. Black Bird released a full length hip-hop album, The Rappetizer, in 2010 and the international touch in her compositions won her the prestigious honour of being the first female hip-hop artiste to perform at the Harare International Festival of the Arts in 2011. NewsDay (ND) Life & Style reporter Winstone Antonio caught up with Black Bird (NV) who opened up about her showbiz experience and below are excerpts from the interview. WINSTONE ANTONIO ND: It appears you have been out of the limelight since you left Star FM in 2013, what has been happening? NV: A lot has been happening. Music wise, I have been releasing singles mainly. I went to South Africa briefly then I moved to Zambia. I have been busy with radio and television presenting and training. In Zambia I worked for two radio stations Zambezi FM in Livingstone and Pan African Radio in Lusaka. ND: It looks like you had a full plate in Zambia? NV: Yes, before working at Pan African Radio I had trained all their 21 presenters. Last year I was working for Fresh TV station in Lusaka hosting a daily music request show, an hour of live television everyday. It was lots of fun, but I did not have time for my music and other business ventures. ND: Tell us more about these business ventures. NV: Two years ago I started a clothing business, Bantu Wear. This has been keeping me very busy, so eventually I left Lusaka to come to my dream destination here in Livingstone where I am also doing a bit of farming. I have always loved Victoria Falls, so being here is perfect for me. ND: Would you say the local music industry has fully embraced female rappers? NV: It is very tough being a female rapper especially because the men are in control of most key positions like at radio and television stations. They are studio owners and promoters as well. A female artiste is often seen as being not serious so I had to work extra hard to show that I was professional and could do this rap thing properly. ND: You recently dropped a 14-track multilingual extended play titled Bantu Queen in which you used seven different languages. Can you share some insights into the production? NV: The multilingual Bantu Queen EP is a celebration of Bantu culture and Bantu people. This Bantu Queen is actually a collection of songs I have been working on over the past two years plus two BB classics H-Town Hustler featuring Davina Green and Black Bird that features J Boss which were just singles. Since I have my roots in Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia I decided why not use African languages — Zulu, Afrikaans, Sotho, Xhosa, Shona and Ndebele. ND: And you also included English? NV: English is the predominant language, so people all over the world can hear it, but now my fans can hear me spit in five different vernaculars too. So it’s very multilingual. The EP also features DJ Smiley on a r

It allows farmers to access high-resolution weather forecasts, agronomic tips, information on climate-smart agricultural practices, and compare specific crop prices at three of the major markets in Jamaica — Coronation, May Pen and Linstead.

The farmers were introduced to the technology under the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change while Reducing Disaster Risk in Peckham, Clarendon and Surrounding Communities project.

“It's a data-driven and climate-smart approach to farming that gives real time access to information on weather, climate and markets through the mobile phone,” Edwards explained, while adding that they were still working with a few farmers who had challenges fully maximising the app.

By connecting farmers to climate-smart technologies and providing them with more and better access to agriculture-related data like agronomic tips, weather patterns and field data, we will reduce guessing and foster more intelligent decision-making in agriculture,” he explained.

It features observed and forecast weather conditions — temperature, precipitation, chance of rain, wind speed, humidity, and solar radiation, along with comparisons to historic values; field-specific, scientifically vetted agronomic models based on plant growth stages, maturity tracking and harvest readiness; pest and disease likelihood, crop stress; and crop price information for major markets in Jamaica.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson is one of Americas best known celebrity scientists, an astrophysicist from New York whos been hailed as the pop culture heir to Carl Sagan. He grew up in the Bronx, with an interest in astronomy. Even though Sagan tried to talk him into going to Cornell, DeGrasse Tyson went to Harvard for his first degree (1980), followed by graduate degree from the University of Texas (1983) and a doctorate from Columbia University (1991). No stranger to public performances -- he was a wrestler and competitive dancer in college -- Tyson first made his mark outside the realm of research with a column he started in 1995 for Natural History magazine. Since then hes been all over the place: presidential commissions, lecture tours, TV appearances, radio shows and all the hottest spots of the internet. As a scientist, hes been an instructor at Princeton and the University of Maryland, as well as the director of New Yorks Hayden Planetarium. Charismatic and opinionated, Tyson has fans who love his unabashed enthusiasm for science, and detractors who deride his unabashed delight in self promotion. His television shows include PBSs Origins (2004) and 400 Years of the Telescope (2009), The History Channels The Universe (2007) and Fox TVs Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014).
