  Today, safeguarding nation-states, organizations, and citizens has less to do with security (cyber and non-cyber) but has everything to do with Survivability.We are now in the 'Era of the Unprecedented': since 2010, Geo-Poli-Cyber™ warfare has been increasing in intensity. The motivation of its perpetrators is often driven by political, ideological, ‘religious’ and extremist objectives, rather than financial gain. Many top decision makers and citizens are unaware of this reality or the implications it has on their sovereignties, businesses, lives and livelihoods, and most do not know how to mitigate it. This trend has seen governments and businesses constantly breached by high-impact cyberattacks, confirming the ineptitude of best in class cyber security strategies, solutions, policies and procedures. Yet, they continue implementing what they know is failing and ineffective. 
  The 2020 pandemic revealed a fundamental flaw in many Western democratic nations; their failure to appropriately prepare for a threat they knew was coming and the cost of this in human lives. This pandemic has shed light on the weaknesses of the current international order and economic, political, legal and democratic models and structures that enable it. It has also called into question the capacity of existing cyber security protocols and designs to protect nations, companies and citizens. The question remains: are governments ready for cyber terrorism, election meddling, fake news and the malicious use of artificial intelligence and quantum computing? How about them all happening at the same time? Survivability provides potential answers to this and other pressing concerns.

  As a boy, Fee Stubblefield promised his fiercely independent grandmother that he would never “put her in an old folks’ home.” That aspirational promise, made with love and care, would be something he always remembered—and a commitment he eventually made within the senior housing and care industry.Seeking to create vibrant and engaging communities where we can thrive in our older years, Fee has encapsulated the best insights from his years in the industry in this book. He addresses everything from how to pick the right capital partners, hiring the best people for a culture of caring, introduces the concept of aspirational promises, addresses the deep issues in the industry exposed by Covid-19 and our attitudes toward a rapidly aging population.Fee’s passion was born of an unusual upbringing as part of a family that owned and operated Lehman Hot Springs and its sacred healing waters, a metaphor for the care needed by our senior citizens. He learned business lessons, like most entrepreneurs, through the difficulties and victories of the Springs Living communities. However, regardless of the lessons—the central core of the Culture of Promise is transparency, accountability, care, respect, and a commitment to the people at the heart of that promise.

  Australia - A History of the...

  Australia is a land of remarkable geological history, shaped over millions of years by natural forces. Its distinctive landscapes, vast deserts, tropical rainforests, and rugged mountain ranges offer a glimpse into the ancient past of the continent. The story of Australia's land begins long before human habitation, when it was part of the supercontinent Gondwana. 
  Approximately 300 million years ago, Gondwana began to break apart, and Australia, once connected to Antarctica, began its slow drift northward. Over millions of years, Australia became isolated, allowing unique plants and animals to evolve in this distant, isolated environment. This geological isolation contributed to the development of Australia’s unique biodiversity, with species found nowhere else on Earth. The landscape was sculpted by forces such as tectonic shifts, volcanic activity, and erosion, leading to the creation of natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef, the outback, and the Blue Mountains. 
  When the first humans arrived on the continent, around 65,000 years ago, Australia’s land was already a place of immense natural beauty and complexity. The Aboriginal peoples, the continent’s first inhabitants, established deep and enduring connections to the land. For Indigenous Australians, the land is not just a physical space but a living, spiritual entity that is central to their cultural identity. This profound connection is expressed through stories, rituals, and a deep understanding of the natural world.
