Frankton/Lake Area
BEWARE! Aramex/NZ Post are just leaving 'Signature Required' parcels in letterboxes. I was expecting something expensive and after checking the tracking, it stated it had been delivered! I work from home every day and in full view of the front door - no one came to my house. I raced to the letterbox - nothing. Lodged complaint, driver admitted leaving in letterbox - SIGNATURE REQUIRED !!@ And now the fight begins to get my money back, and the sender having lost the item/value also.

Where is the responsibility when we pay for a service? I hope others are all lodging complaints too - I am taking this issue to FAIR GO now as I have had to also fork out for parcel after parcel being left in letterboxes and stolen - even though they are sent 'Signature Required' and no effort to even go to the house.
This industry needs to be held accountable. This is absolutely negligent and totally irresponsible when they ALL KNOW letterboxes are being raided/courier vans followed etc - this shows absolutely no regard for peoples items.

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.

We are not claiming good condition at all, hence they are free :)

EarthDiverse is pleased to offer again this Term its course introducing Western Philosophy with Peter Dornauf

WHAT: In the postmodern age there is a veritable plethora of ideas, beliefs, opinions, dogmas, dramas and viewpoints all scrambling for our attention and allegiance. It’s a jungle out there – the good, the bad and the ugly. How to sift the dregs from the dry-cleaning, separate the crud from credible assertion, disconnect truth from the drivel and trash? What helps is the ability to step back and obtain an overview of ideas that have entertained humanity down the ages in order to obtain a certain perspective on matters. This series of 8 consecutive weekly lectures will do just that. From Plato to Popper, from Socrates to Peter Singer, this sequence will span the whole history of Western thought from ancient times up to the present in order to help throw light on our present confusions and conundrums.

WHEN: This course meets on Wednesdays from 11:00am-1:00pm beginning on 15 February 2023 (New Zealand time). The course meets for 8 consecutive weekly sessions. The final session will be held on Wednesday 5 April 2023.

WHERE: This course is offered in-person in Hamilton, New Zealand, and is also live-streamed via Zoom and available globally with a good internet connection!

MORE INFO: More information and registration information can be found on our website.
