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?

The choir will be joined by acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Mandeno, organist Philip Smith, and a small orchestra for a programme of profound beauty and reverence. The centrepiece of the evening is John Rutter’s Requiem, complemented by works from Poulenc, Howells, Harris, Artley and Duruflé — music chosen to reflect the compassion, humility, and spiritual depth that characterised Pope Francis’ papacy.
Tuesday 21 April | 7.30pm
St Michael’s Catholic Church, Remuera
We warmly invite you to share in this evening of remembrance, reflection, and exquisite choral music.

Join archaeologist Caroline Phillips for an afternoon at Highwic to view some of these artefacts, learn more about what has been found, and what has not been found. This will be an informal talk, a walk around the site, and an opportunity to view the artefacts.

But as technology evolves, so do the brands leading the market. In recent years, Hisense has stepped forward as one of the strongest and most reliable TV manufacturers, offering impressive quality at a price point that makes sense for most households.
If you’ve recently replaced a Panasonic TV with a Hisense model, you’ve likely already noticed the difference — and in many ways, it’s an upgrade worth celebrating.
Why Hisense Has Become a Top Choice
Hisense has invested heavily in modern display technology, smart features, and build quality. The result is a TV lineup that consistently punches above its price range.
Key strengths of Hisense:
• Excellent picture quality with vibrant colours and strong contrast
• UHD 4K and QLED options that rival premium brands
• Smooth motion handling, great for sports and gaming
• Built‑in Smart TV features (VIDAA or Google TV) with fast, intuitive navigation
• Strong reliability backed by solid warranties
• Outstanding value for money
Hisense has essentially taken the space Panasonic once dominated — offering dependable TVs that perform well for everyday Kiwi households.

He says the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones – we remember negative things more easily than positive things.
He suggests that we ‘tilt towards the good’ in order to level the playing field. He says if we spend time savouring and enjoying a good experience, more neurons fire and thus wire together, actually changing our brains for the better. So to balance out the challenging times, see if you can "Take in the good" to even things out. Take care - Eve

🛡️ 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.
