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

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

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).
