The economy is expected to look better than earlier predictions. Figures —due out from Stats NZ this morning— are expected to show the country's GDP grew 0.7% for the first quarter of the year. It's slightly higher than 0.4%, predicted earlier this year. ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley told Mike Hosking things are expected to slow through the middle half of the year.

What to listen for:Robin Greubel and Crystal Wing return with the brilliant Katylynn Sloan for part two of their conversation on the intersection between chemistry and K9 detection!“Train with as much variety as often as you can, in the weirdest of circumstances you can possibly get to, with as many groups and as many people as you can.”Katylynn dives into one of the most misunderstood topics in the detection world: training aids. She breaks down why the term “pseudo” is falling out of favor, replaced by “alternative training aids,” and classifies them into four types: dilution, absorption, mimic, and vigilance. Each has its pros and pitfalls. Mimics, for instance, rely on human interpretation of what's important for a dog to smell—sometimes right, sometimes not. And vigilance aids? They're about maintaining search behavior, not the odor itself.Katylynn also emphasizes the importance of language. As a member of standards boards like ASB and OSAC, she helps shape definitions so handlers, trainers, and scientists are all speaking the same language in courtrooms and classrooms alike. It's not just about what you know, but how clearly you can explain it. Her advice to aspiring canine scientists? Master problem-solving, communication, and the humility to say, “I don't know.”She also touches on the challenges of HRD training, the evolving definitions of “real” odor, and how even “duh” science needs to be written down. Her message to handlers? Train broadly. Generalization is key. Get variety in odors, people, places, and aids—because you never know what the real world will throw at your dog.Dogs are really good. But they're even better when guided by thoughtful, curious humans willing to adapt, collaborate, and learn. Katylynn's passion isn't just informative—it's contagious.Key Topics:Revising Standards and Defining "Real" Odor (0:59)Introduction to Alternative Training Aids (03:27)Mimics and Human Interpretation in Training Aids (07:30)Applying Dilution/Absorption Concepts to HRD (15:14)Public Comment Process and Impact on Standards (17:18)Skills and Traits for Aspiring K9 Scientists (22:53)Final Takeaways: Variety, Generalization, and Collaboration (39:52)Resources:The manipulation of odor availability of training aids used in detection canine trainingAAFS Academy Standards BoardLindsay Waldrop's LabWe want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

Host Nigel Grant (Head of Wealth Product, ASB) is joined by Frank Jasper (Investment Strategist, ASB) to break down the basics of financial markets and how they connect to your KiwiSaver account or Investment Fund. They explore how markets work, what drives their movements, and how ASB applies a long-term strategy to manage risk and build robust portfolios.

In this episode, we say goodbye to one of our beloved hosts, Sabrina Berger. We take a voyage through the depths and breadths of Sabrina's research experience. Cole tells us how Sabrina investigates JWST's ability to estimate the masses of galaxies through the glare of their quasars, and Lucia tells us how Sabrina used navigation satellites to calibrate radio telescopes. In between, we quiz Sabrina on her own ASB episodes and finish with Sabrina's experience in 3 different countries and Sabrina's advice for future grad students!   Arxiv links: https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.06144 (second paper coming soon to an arxiv near you!)

The largest agricultural expo in the Southern Hemisphere, one of the largest business expos in the Southern Hemisphere, has opened its gates this morning, and exhibitors are ready to do business. That hasn't always been the case in Fieldays' 57 year history – the rural economy has had its ebbs and flows over the years, and Fieldays in Hamilton has felt them. Confidence has waxed and waned, but not this year. This year, you've got the Massey Ferg's descending on the Tron in their droves. This year the feeling is bullish, according to Richard Lindroos, the CEO of the National Fieldays. “They say down here it's a bit of a positive vibe going on. Everything's going the right direction. We have certainty now in terms of where the prices are and the forecasts are pretty good, so we expect the rural community to open up the wallets at Fieldays. I think you're going to see those large capital expenditure, and the more certainty you have from the farming community, the better it will be. So our exhibitors down here, and we have over 1200, are looking forward to gates opening at 8am today. We go right through to Saturday. Saturday is Super Saturday, so I'm looking forward to even the townies coming down.” Absolutely. It's an amazing event. I've had the privilege of going a couple of times —working and as a spectator— and it's enormous amounts of fun, and enormous amounts of business is done in the good years. And as Richard referred to when he was talking to Mike Hosking this morning, he's expecting the wallets to be open, because there have been good prices in the agricultural sector for the farmers, and also one of the big ticket items in the Government's 2025 Budget was ‘Investment boost'. The facility that allows businesses to deduct 20% of a new assets value from that year's taxable income on top of normal depreciation. There was a good example in the Herald: let's say a company invests in a machine worth $100,000, or a farmer if you will, that depreciates over 10 years, assuming a 10% straight line depreciation rate. Previously the company would have been able to deduct $10,000 worth of depreciation each year from its taxable income. Under investment boost, it could make a $20,000 upfront deduction, followed by $8,000 in depreciation deductions each year, including in year one. So you can see that that would have an impact. The Government hopes the change will significantly increase productivity by encouraging businesses to invest in new assets now, rather than waiting for the economy to improve. You might have heard that yesterday when we were talking the solar power interest-free loan from ASB for farmers to invest in solar power technology. We had a farmer who rang in, he had actually got his loan through ANZ, but he said he'd been looking at solar power for a while and he just wasn't in a position to make that kind of upfront investment. This year he can and has. So there's more money going on farm and into farmer's pockets. The investment boost, it is hoped, will see farmers and other businesses investing in new technology to allow for increased productivity. Is that what's going to happen? If you're heading to Fieldays, are you going there with the express aim to invest in new technology, technology you might have had your eye on for a while but you haven't been in a position to do anything about it until prices improved, and until you gets a commitment from the government like investment boost. Does investment boost, now you've had time to let it settle, mean that you are going to be investing in the kind of technology that's going to boost your productivity?

ASB is offering loans to help farmers balance their energy costs. They're offering five-year, interest-free loans of up to $150,000 for the installation of solar and battery systems on their properties. The bank said farm electricity costs are rising, with the average 2025/26 season power bill expected to be around $28,000 for owner-operated dairy farms. Research found most farms have rooftop space available for solar, and 60% of farmers say they have land that could be used for solar without reducing production. Rural General Manager Aidan Gent told Kerre Woodham the main barrier to electrification in rural areas was a lack of understanding as to what it would mean for them to electrify their farms, as well as what the cost and payback would look like. He says the bank is trying to ease access to capital, but also provide tools that help bring it to life. Electrifying rural areas would also be a major boost to resilience, Gent says, as in the event of a major weather event like Cyclone Gabrielle, it's much easier to distribute power from farmers' set ups rather than waiting on the main lines to be repaired.

Host Nigel Grant (Head of Wealth Product, ASB) is joined by Senior Economist Chris Tennent-Brown (ASB) to unpack two major events shaping New Zealand's economic landscape — the Reserve Bank's latest OCR decision and the Government's 2025 Budget. They explore how these announcements could impact interest rates, markets and mortgage rates — and what the KiwiSaver changes could mean for how investors plan, contribute and stay on track.

Kiwi business leaders fear the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs will be more severe than the impact of the Global Financial Crisis and the Covid pandemic. ASB and Talbot Mills have been surveying more than 300 business leaders, including CEOs and founders. Two-thirds of businesses are concerned about the impacts, including almost 80% of exporters. Meat, dairy and wine are expected to be hit harder, while the wool and seafood sectors are expected to fare better. ASB's General Manager of Commercial Banking, Ben Speedy, told Kerre Woodham that the results highlight that businesses are really struggling with the uncertainty that's playing out in the environment at the moment. He says businesses not only need to navigate tariffs, but also the difficult business and economic environment in New Zealand. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's defending their move to change a law which protects Australian banks from Kiwi customers. More than 15,000 mortgage holders could miss out on hundreds of millions in compensation for mistakes made by ANZ and ASB.

ASB's Housing Confidence Survey shows 28 percent of respondents believe it's a good time to buy, the highest number since 2011. Chief Economist Nick Tuffley spoke to Paddy Gower.

Lawyer Scott Russell says proposed changes to our lending laws only benefit Aussie banks. The bill, currently before Select Committee, aims to lessen red tape for such things as adjusting credit limits and applying for credit cards. Russell's representing 170,000 Kiwis in a class action against ANZ and ASB, and says the changes protect those banks. He says they argue penalties under the law are a risk to the economy. "That's just simply rubbish, there's no evidence of that and it seems the suspicion is, by many, that the law is just National helping out the Australian banks."

A lack of consensus at the Reserve Bank on yesterday's cut to the OCR reflects the global economic uncertainty. The Monetary Policy Committee has dropped the cash rate 25-basis points to 3.25%, and now expects to reach a 2.9% low-point in December. However, further cuts are uncertain, with the bank adopting a watch and wait approach. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Ryan Bridge they still believe we'll get another cut next month, but it's uncertain how far the Bank will go. He says it's possible we will pause at some point.

New Zealand banks are being asked to pay up in the next few months. Kiwibank, BNZ, Westpac, ANZ and ASB will need to repay around $9.2 billion in cheap Covid-era loans to the Reserve Bank. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Mike Hosking that they have variety of options they can use to repay the money. He says the banks knew when taking out these loans they'd have to pay them back eventually. Olsen told Hosking that if they're not ready to pay them back, they probably don't qualify to be called bankers at this point. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Col 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 3:12 “chosen of God, holy and beloved” These terms were used to describe Israel (Exod. 19:5–6), but now they describe the church (cf. Gal. 6:16; 1 Pet. 2:5, 9; Rev. 1:6). Notice that the goal of the People of God is holiness (cf. Eph. 1:4), not a privileged standing. Israel was chosen as a tool to reach all humans made in the image of God. Israel missed her evangelistic mandate (cf. Gen. 12:3; Exod. 19:5). The Church has clearly been given this assignment (cf. Matt. 28:19–20; Acts 1:8). Believers are called to holiness and to be witnesses. Christians are defined here as ‘the elect of God, holy and beloved'. This means that God has chosen them from eternity for salvation. Once saved, Christians are holy before God, being set apart in Christ by the Holy Spirit who indwells them. If we are saved we are highly loved by an act of divine love that flows from his heart (Rom. 9:13a)[1] Chosen by God, set apart for God, loved by God, and forgiven by God. They all add up to GRACE! Now, because of these gracious blessings, the Christian has some solemn responsibilities before God. He must put on the beautiful graces of the Christian life. Paul named eight graces.[1] “Put on the new man,” says Paul. “Put on mercy, kindness, and humility. Put on meekness, longsuffering, and love.” In short, put on Christ.[1]  “put on” This is an AORIST MIDDLE IMPERATIVE which indicates urgency. This is the continuing use of clothing as a symbol and mandate for the Christian life. It is even possible that this was baptismal terminology (cf. Gal. 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ). Put on …NASB “a heart of compassion” and indicates deep feelings[1] NKJV “tender mercies” TEV Today's English Version “compassion” NJB The New Jerusalem Bible “heartfelt compassion”                 This is literally “bowels of compassion” (cf. 2 Cor. 6:12; Phil. 1:8; 2:1; Philemon 7, 12, 20). The ancients believed the seat of emotion was located in the lower intestines (abdomen). Kindness, gentleness and patience are part of the fruit of the Spirit that Paul describes in his letter to the Galatians (Galatians 5:22). They help Christians live in harmony with one another. Compassion and humility may sound like weaknesses. But Jesus showed in his own life that compassion and humility are at the heart of God.[1] Put on … “kindness” is the desire for another's good, and shows sweetness of disposition. This should be the Christian's response to others (cf. Rom. 2:4; 9:23; 11:22; 2 Cor. 6:6; Gal. 5:22; Col. 3:12; Titus 3:4). Put on … “humility” Humility of mind' speaks of lowliness (Eph. 4:2; Phil. 2:3–5) and allows us to recognize that we have no reason or right to be self-confident.[1] This is a uniquely Christian virtue (cf. Eph. 4:2; Phil. 2:3). The Stoics viewed meekness (humbleness) as weakness and did not include it in their list of virtues. Only two people in the Bible are called humble, Moses (cf. Num. 12:3) and Jesus (cf. Matt. 11:29; Phil. 2:8). This becomes the will of God for every believer (cf. Matt. 18:4; 23:12; James 4:6, 10; 1 Pet. 5:5, 6). This term is used in a negative sense in 2:18, 23. The pagan world of Paul's day did not admire humility. Instead, they admired pride and domination. Jesus Christ is the greatest example of humbleness of mind (Phil. 2:1ff). Humility is not thinking poorly of oneself. Rather, it is having the proper estimate of oneself in the will of God (Rom. 12:3). The person with humbleness of mind thinks of others first and not of himself.[1] Put on … “gentleness or meekness” means Power under control. This originally referred to domesticated animals (horses, camels, donkeys) whose strength had been channeled for their master's purpose. God does not want to break us, but direct His giftedness to His glory. Paul often uses this metaphor for the Christian life (cf. 1 Cor. 4:21; 2 Cor. 10:1; Gal. 5:23; 6:1; Eph. 4:2; Col. 3:12; 1 Tim. 6:11; 2 Tim. 2:25).      Put on … ‘Meekness' is the opposite of self-interest and reveals itself in gentleness. It is a spirit of quiet submission, not weakness but rather a spirit of Christian courtesy. Thomas Watson once said, ‘Meekness is a grace whereby we are enabled by the Spirit of God to moderate our passions' (see 2 Cor. 10:1[1] Put on …Longsuffering or patience” This is often used of God's patience with people (cf. Rom. 2:4; 9:22; Titus 3:2, 1 Pet. 3:20) or Jesus' patience (cf. 1 Tim. 1:16; 2 Pet. 3:15). It is used to exhort believers in their treatment of one another (cf. 1 Cor. 13:4; Gal. 5:22; Eph. 4:2; 2 Tim. 4:2). This word is literally “long-temper.” The short-tempered person speaks and acts impulsively and lacks self-control. When a person is long-suffering, he can put up with provoking people or circumstances without retaliating. It is good to be able to get angry, for this is a sign of holy character. But it is wrong to get angry quickly at the wrong things and for the wrong reasons.[1]      Patience in the face of provocation and suffering. This is a divine attribute (Rom. 2:4; 9:22). It is the opposite of anger and ‘it is associated with mercy'. Kindness, gentleness and patience are part of the fruit of the Spirit that Paul describes in his letter to the Galatians (Galatians 5:22). They help Christians live in harmony with one another. Compassion and humility may sound like weaknesses. But Jesus showed in his own life that compassion and humility are at the heart of God.[1] Col 3:13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.  ASB, NKJV “bearing with one another” NJB “bear with one another” TEV “be tolerant with one another” Put on forbearance …bearing with one another is a PRESENT MIDDLE PARTICIPLE (used as an IMPERATIVE) which implies voluntary non-retaliation (cf. Eph. 4:2; Phil. 2:3–4). This word literally means “to hold up” or “to hold back.” God is forbearing toward sinners in that He holds back His judgment (Rom. 2:4; 3:25). Meekness, long-suffering, and forbearance go together.[1] Paul emphasizes forgiveness, as Jesus used to do. Forgiving one another and being forgiven by God belong closely together—indeed, they are inseparable (Matthew 6:14–15).[1] Put on forgiveness … “forgiving each other” This is a PRESENT MIDDLE (deponent) PARTICIPLE. It is from the same Greek root as grace, “freely forgive.” One sign of believers being forgiven is that they forgive others (cf. Matt. 5:7; 6:15; 18:22–35; Mark 11:25; Luke 6:36–38; James 2:13; 5:9). Forgiveness of others is not the basis of forgiveness, but it is its fruit. “whoever has a complaint” This is a THIRD CLASS CONDITIONAL SENTENCE which meant probable future action. There will be complaints! Christians will be at odds with other Christians, but Jesus' cross should put a stop to it (cf. Rom. 14:1–15:13).  “just as the Lord forgave you” This is the basis for believers' actions toward others (cf. Eph. 4:32; Rom. 15:7). The point here is that of keeping oneself in check even when irritated by others, and the forgetting of offences personally received. We have to do so looking to Christ as our example: ‘even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do'. Believers can, and must, be a forgiving people (Matt. 6:14–15). Peter was told to forgive up to seventy times seven (Matt. 18:22). Note that Paul is still discoursing on Christian freedom! The antinomians will not like this clear and indisputable call from Paul because they consider themselves not under the law of obedience. However, a forgiving attitude marks out a true Christian from a false one.[1] This is the logical result of all that Paul has written so far in this section. It is not enough that the Christian must endure grief and provocation, and refuse to retaliate; he must also forgive the troublemaker. If he does not, then feelings of malice will develop in the heart; and these can lead to greater sins.[1]        Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?              John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins.

Host Nigel Grant (Head of Wealth Product, ASB) is joined by Kirk Hope (CEO, Financial Services Council) to unpack the capital markets initiative and its potential impact for KiwiSaver members. They dive into how unlocking access to more private market investments could boost diversification and returns for members, while driving economic growth and infrastructure development. Plus, the hurdles to overcome and what's next for the initiative. 

These days I have blurry memories of my time at primary school in Auckland in the late 70s, early 80s, but I can very clearly remember my ASB school banking book. ASB began school banking in 1972 as a way for children to learn about saving and banks, and I guess it was also with a view to retaining us as customers when we were in the workforce and had real amounts of money. On banking days, I can remember bringing my 50 cents to school to make the deposit. My book was stamp marked with the date and the deposit and new balance amounts written in. And goodness, did I love watching the balance increase. I'm pretty sure at one point I had an ASB Kashin elephant money box as well. I'm sure this is ringing a bell with some of you. This is far from what the Government proposed this week - compulsory financial education for students up to year 10, starting in 2026. But, encouraged by my parents, it was at primary school that my understanding of savings and budgeting began - because it was easy and available. While I was budgeting to add to my rubber and sticker collections the real benefit was that I became a good saver, and it has stuck with me for life. As has my now worthless rubber collection - currently in a box under the stairs. I know teachers are inundated with curriculum changes and already have a lot to deal with in the classroom - but there must be room to grow financial literacy beyond what's in the maths curriculum. Concepts like saving, budgeting, debt and investment. Of all the things students learn to prepare them for life after school, surely this is among the most useful and important. Yes, this is something parents should be teaching their children, but financial knowledge is not equal amongst adults. Some parents don't like talking about money.

I'm enthusiastic about my children becoming financially independent - as quickly as possible - so the more information they have, from as many sources as possible, the better prepared they are to make good decisions. As an adult I'm still learning how to manage my money better. So, let's get them started young.

These days I have blurry memories of my time at primary school in Auckland in the late 70s, early 80s, but I can very clearly remember my ASB school banking book. ASB began school banking in 1972 as a way for children to learn about saving and banks, and I guess it was also with a view to retaining us as customers when we were in the workforce and had real amounts of money. On banking days, I can remember bringing my 50 cents to school to make the deposit. My book was stamp marked with the date and the deposit and new balance amounts written in. And goodness, did I love watching the balance increase. I'm pretty sure at one point I had an ASB Kashin elephant money box as well. I'm sure this is ringing a bell with some of you. This is far from what the Government proposed this week - compulsory financial education for students up to year 10, starting in 2026. But, encouraged by my parents, it was at primary school that my understanding of savings and budgeting began - because it was easy and available. While I was budgeting to add to my rubber and sticker collections the real benefit was that I became a good saver, and it has stuck with me for life. As has my now worthless rubber collection - currently in a box under the stairs. I know teachers are inundated with curriculum changes and already have a lot to deal with in the classroom - but there must be room to grow financial literacy beyond what's in the maths curriculum. Concepts like saving, budgeting, debt and investment. Of all the things students learn to prepare them for life after school, surely this is among the most useful and important.

We enjoyed our first interview with Dave McMaster so much that we spoke with him a second time! If you missed the first interview on what it is like to start an international school, definitely check it out – it's Episode 74. Dave also recorded two Going Global Stories for us. Head to our information hub to enjoy those. Dave has 35 years of K-12 education experience, primarily in leadership roles in Canada, Hong Kong, and Bahrain. He joined the Esol organization in Bahrain in September 2018, and led the founding team in establishing the American School of Bahrain, which opened its doors to just over 100 students amid the COVID-19 Pandemic and has grown to nearly 800 students in its first five years of operation.Prior to this role, Dave served as Principal and Head of School at the Canadian International School of Hong Kong. During his tenure, he spearheaded the authorization process for the full slate of International Baccalaureate (IB) programs. Within six years, CDNIS DP students ranked in the top 10% of IB schools worldwide, and CDNIS was recognized as the top international school in Hong Kong for seven consecutive years. Dave has founded three schools, including the American School of Bahrain.Dave's authenticity as an educational leader motivates the entire school community to continually improve, ensuring excellence in educational provision. He strongly believes that cultivating a school culture based on mutual respect, happiness, and high yet realistic expectations will lead to a fruitful educational experience for students. He emphasizes the "smile index" as a key barometer for assessing a school's success. Dave also has extensive experience in recruiting, hiring, and retaining top educators, which he considers crucial to the success of founding ASB.Dave holds a Bachelor of Education from Queen's University. He also earned a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from San Diego State University.Our Guiding Question was, “What is it like teaching and living in the Middle East?”Here are a few of the topics covered in this episode:What teachers can experience teaching in a fairly typical Middle Eastern international schoolSome advantages of and expectations for living in the Middle East as expats, particularly in BahrainResources mentioned in the episode:American School of BahrainDave's Contact Information: LinkedInInstagramThe show was recorded on February 16, 2025.Categories: School Life | Travel | Recruiting | Bahrain Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information and consider joining our Patreon community at patreon/educatorsgoingglobal!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

Increased global trade barriers —like Donald Trump's tariffs— are continuing to slow down New Zealand's economic recovery. Infometrics is drastically reducing its GDP growth forecast from 2.6% to just 1%. Many economists now expect the Reserve Bank to go harder for longer with OCR cuts, despite a likely rise in inflation. ASB Chief Executive Vittoria Shortt told Mike Hosking many businesses don't know how they'll be affected by the global uncertainty. He says confidence had started to reappear but is now dampening as things start going on hold. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

USPAP, Verification, and Bernoulli's Fallacy.  That's a mouthful!  What does it mean?  I'm assuming  you've heard of USPAP.  Verification is an important component of USPAP's SR1-4 (learn it, love it, use it).  But it is likely Bernoulli's Fallacy is something you don't know about.  Yet.  You will, though.  It is going to become really important in residential real estate appraisal, especially when UAD3.6 takes effect in November of 2026.  Read on to learn why. Really USPAP, verification and Bernoulli's Fallacy go together.  USPAP's Standards Rule 1-4 requires us appraisers to "...collect, verify, and analyze all information necessary for credible assignment results."  As with a lot of USPAP, this is not overly clear (hello, ASB!).  Bernoulli's Fallacy says, in so many words, in statistical inference, people often wrongly assume that a single event, or a small number of observations, directly reveals the underlying probability of a process.  We see this all the time from clients.  Most houses in a subdivision sell for between $300K and $350K.  Yet the one with the premium view and the kitchen upgrades that sold for $393K gets all their attention.  If the subject is your basic house in the neighborhood, then its value is somewhere between $300K and $350K, that one outlier notwithstanding.  One outlier's price does not predict market value, despite what the client demands. USPAP, verification, and Bernoulli's Fallacy are a package deal.  USPAP demands verification and we avoid Bernoulli's Fallacy by being very skeptical about the predictive value of one or two outliers.  This will become even more important as UAD3.6 kicks in and appraisers will need to write more in their appraisal reports.  Are you preparing for that? Questions?  Contact me at tim@theappraisersadvocate.com.   Need legal help or information on E&O insurance.  I can help you with those, too.

The Government has introduced legislation that could see more than 150,000 mortgage holders miss out on hundreds of millions in compensation for mistakes made by ANZ and ASB.

If you've ever visited the International Schools Services website, you may have noticed at some stage that they added a button at the top that said “start a school”. The button has now moved to the bottom of the page, but it's still there. For us, it always felt like that line from the movies, “I wonder what happens if I press this button?” Well, Dave McMaster is a brave soul who has “pushed the button” on starting a school, not once, but three times. We think it's fair to say that Dave knows what happens! Dave has 35 years of K-12 education experience, primarily in leadership roles across Canada, Hong Kong, and Bahrain. He joined the Esol organization in Bahrain in September 2018, and led the founding team in establishing the American School of Bahrain, which opened its doors in September 2020.

During his tenure,  CDNIS was recognized as the top international school in Hong Kong for seven consecutive years. Dave has founded three schools, with the most recent being the American School of Bahrain.Dave's authenticity as an educational leader is a recognized force that motivates students, parents, staff, and management to continually advance the status quo, ensuring excellence in educational provision and learning. He emphasizes what he calls the "smile index" as a key barometer for assessing a school's success.
