new EarthDiverse course: “The History of Love” with Peter Dornauf
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce a new short History/Philosophy course entitled “The History of Love” beginning on Wed 5 June (11:00am-1:00pm) and lasting for 3 consecutive weekly sessions in the same time slot.
Who would have thought that such a universal part of the human condition had a history, one that exhibits huge shifts and changes in patterns of conduct? This series of three consecutive weekly discussions with local Author/Artist/Philosopher Peter Dornauf tracks that changeable history via art, artifact, literary record, music, social revolution and historical example. It traces the origins, development and final resting place of that ephemeral and eternal phenomenon we call Love.
Come and spend your winter Wednesday mornings discussing the History of Love with new friends and and a cuppa tea/coffee at the EarthDiverse Centre in the Hamilton CBD! Or consider joining in the discussions on-line via Zoom.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular?
It’s farming, but not as we know it.
Sheep are grazing under solar panels in a Waikato first that could become more common as farmers look to diversify their incomes.
