LAST CALL for EarthDiverse's newest course beginning tomorrow (Wed 11:00am)!
EarthDiverse is pleased to present Peter Dornauf's newest course entitled "Loss" available as both an in-person class in Hamilton, New Zealand and on-line via Zoom from anywhere in the world with a good internet connection!
LOSS:
• Schopenhauer once said that life was a series of losses. Like all philosophical claims, it is three quarters true. A good deal of western literature, starting with the story of Adam and Eve losing their Eden home, is replete with narratives that deal with the subject. Today there is talk of losing our own garden home – the planet. This series of 3 consecutive weekly talks will traverse the theme of loss—that “dark underpinning of our lives”—looking at everything from the loss of hopes and dreams, to the loss of love, innocence and life itself.
• Lecture 1. Loss of innocence, (coming of age): Wed 28 Aug 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 2: Loss of life, (death).: Wednesday 4 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)
• Lecture 3: Loss of Possessions, (theft): Wednesday 11 Sep 2024 (11am-1pm)
Note that you can also sign up to watch the video recordings at a time and place of your choosing!

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

One size fits all rates cap model ‘unworkable’, says Waipā DC
Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.
On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
