EarthDiverse Term 3 Language, Religious Diversity & World Mythology courses
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce that Term 3 Registration is now open for our Language, Religious Diversity and World Mythology courses that begin the week of Monday 27 July 2020. We now offer Distance-Learning options for those outside the Waikato or for those who prefer to learn at their own pace and in their own time. Our courses are now open to anyone, anywhere, and at any time!
We now offer both beginning and Intermediate Language courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Urdu. We plan to offer additional languages in the future.
Our 14 distinct Religious Diversity courses are offered on a rotating basis throughout the year, with Term 3 courses on ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Religious Fundamentalism & Extremism’. Future Term courses rotate through all of the main faith traditions.
We're also pleased to announce our newest series of courses on World Mythologies! Our Term 3 course is entitled ‘Grand Narratives and Mythologies in the Western Traditions.’
We're also especially pleased to be able to offer three distinct options for learners: 1) In-person classes in our Hamilton classroom, 2) on-line live-streaming distance-learning classes via Zoom, and 3) learn at your own pace and at more convenient times by watching the recorded video sessions when your schedule allows.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Last month, the council was told it faced a deficit of $3.9m, mainly due to a correction to its user-pay refuse sticker revenue budget - basically, it wrongly estimated how much money it would take in from sales of council rubbish stickers.
