EarthDiverse: Tudor Women Who Moulded the Monarchy

todd from EarthDiverse

Yesterday and today EarthDiverse remember the reign of her majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, proclaimed Queen after her father, King George VI, died in the early hours on the 6th of February 1952. If you'd like to learn more about British royal history and the women involved in the Tudor monarchy, you may be interested in our newest History course entitled:

"Tudor Women Who Moulded the Monarchy"

WHAT: In the wake of Her Late Majesty’s passing, this course reflects on the female leaders of the monarchy, exploring how their gender impacted their reign and legacy. Focusing on the Tudor period, we journey from the green sleeves of Anne Boleyn to the Catholic tyranny of Mary. This course explores the antithetical female leaders and their role in shaping British History at a time of significant change, the beginning of the birth of modern Europe.

WHEN: This course meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:00 pm beginning on Tuesday 14 February 2023 (New Zealand time). If you live outside of New Zealand, please check our website for live-streamed time zone equivalents to participate via Zoom. There are 5 consecutive weekly sessions in this seminar series.

WHERE: Available via Zoom anywhere globally with a good internet connection

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

How long it’ll take depends on who you ask and you can measure it in years, elections, or Rugby world cups.

But Hamilton City will eventually be home to more people than Wellington City - likely in somewhere between 24 or 34 years according to Statistics NZ and Waikato University.

What do you think will change once Hamilton overtakes the capital? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Councillors working to a June 2028 deadline for new water model

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The clock is ticking and the pressure is on as Hamilton City Council elected members were told whatever water delivery service they chose, it must wash its face financially.

Councillors have until December 12 to come up with a preferred option for water delivery, which will then be open for public consultation.
