Brazil is adopting a Gross National Happiness Index. Like Bhutan, the intention is to measure societal progress beyond the conventional international economic yardsticks by giving emphasis to happiness, environmental balance, and sound governance.

Effective feedback enhances performance only when it's well-delivered and well-received. Mastering honest, credible, and constructive feedback fosters resilience, trust, and growth in high-stakes, team-dependent environments.

The ships may ‘accidentally’ drag their anchors for hundreds of kilometres harming critical cables. NATO is mapping the seabed and increasing its military presence on the surface and underwater. Shadow fleets fuel Russia’s war economy

Accepting and accommodating change is the very definition of resilience. We can become more resilient with small, incremental exposures to new situations and circumstances; and dreams can help us on that journey.

Anti-satellite threats undermine operational readiness. Space therefore should be a strategic priority—a formal AUKUS collaboration framework is needed to ensure future resilience, security, and sovereign capability. Australia is positioned to lead space coordination.

As air forces explore fighter-like drones, operational costs and logistics suggest simpler, runway-independent and expendable designs—used in high numbers—may provide greater capability and resilience. The U.S. Air Force plans large-scale drone acquisition.

Drones allow strategic impact without high escalation. Both countries are increasing drone use and capability —seen as effective and for deterrence—while racing to improve domestic production and reduce foreign reliance. India tripling drone investment.

Guilt can be useful—or toxic. This article explores how to process regret without letting it dominate your identity, relationships, or choices. Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting—it means growing.

Australia’s subsea cables lack updated protections. The fragmented approach to digital infrastructure risks both economic opportunity and security—unified national leadership is needed to manage cables, data centres, and connectivity across all levels.

The US Navy is testing the currently land based PAC-3 ballistic defence interceptor. This could enhance capability and resilience- the SM-6 has supply limitations. For Australia, potentially part of Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance Plan.
