November Event is coming up!How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain
Most of us have learned that Aristotle’s explanation of emotions is fundamentally right. Emotions really exist, we are born with the basic ones hard wired into us. Anger, shame, disgust, desire…. all normal humans experience such emotions. If we have learned anything about the brain, we probably also believe that’s what the limbic system is all about, right?
What if this is all just wrong? Come along to hear about the latest research. Emotions are not things that happen to us, despite it really feeling that way sometimes! This talk is based on psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett's book: "How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain".
You will never think about emotions the same way again!

Scam phone calls - be vigilant
Police are aware of reports emerging overnight where people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Police officer.
The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.
People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.
Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.
We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.
Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.
There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.
Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.
If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.
