This is why the decision for disposal of records is always linked to a value decision and the word retention. In every era, there are records that should be retained because of their enduring value. This 1859 document represents evidence of the proclamation of the Colony of Queensland and the separating of this region from the Colony of New South Wales. In 1901, near the end of the reign and the eventual death of Queen Victoria, Queensland would cease to be a colony of Britain and along with other former colonies become a State of the Commonwealth of Australia. At the very minimum, in terms of cultural heritage - popular culture, this 1859 document foretells the origin of the State of Origin - the ongoing rivalry between New South Wales and Queensland.

This is DAT(Dual Action Tissue). Such an important tool for tissue approximation.

This Veterans Day, I invite you to check out "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson. One of the most egalitarian tenets of the military is its rank-based hierarchy. We aspire to be a true meritocracy, agnostic of race, ethnicity, or gender—and for the most part that is true. But I did not know about the blatant racism during WWII where black Soldiers were marginalized by their white American peers while foreign counterparts (the French!) treated them as equals. Then these black service members were denied U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits introduced by the 1944 GI Bill. Black veterans were not aided in adjusting back to civilian life—no VA home loans, no college education. This further exacerbated inequality with lost generational wealth opportunities. But not everyone took the snub from Uncle Sam as his fate. My neighbor served in WWII. He was in the US Army Signal Corps and climbed towers to catch enemy transmissions. As a former US Navy Signals Intelligence Officer myself, I knew exactly how critical his work was to saving our troops. I was saddened to hear that he threw away his medals in frustration. He channeled that anger into building his family estate, amassing wealth through purchasing and rehabilitating distressed properties. His daughter is now taking care of him as he approaches 98. Today, I salute him. --- It is important to understand our history, including our ugly parts, as we climb that hill. --- #veteransday #americandream #americanhistory https://lnkd.in/gYRbT5bN

Attended the official launch of the Online Procedure Rule Committee at the Queen Elizabeth 2 center in London. The OPRC will oversee the development of rules for online proceedings across the Civil, Family and Tribunals jurisdictions, as well as data and behavioural standards for online dispute resolution before proceedings are brought to a court or tribunal. This marks a milestone as it paves the path for a modern, easy to navigate and accessible justice system that is already world-class. It was great to see this common vision supported by the Lord Chancellor, OPRC members, Master of the Rolls and the Lady Chief Justice who rightly said, it isn't the strongest or the most intelligent that win the survival battle but those that learn to adapt. And that is exactly what today was all about - adapting our systems to thrive in this new data fueled digital age. #hmcts #oprc #digitaljustice

A well-deserved recognition of his competent leadership. Back during my teenage years, Sunway area was only abandoned mining land and the Sunway Group occupied a basement office in PJ State. Under his disciplined and purposeful leadership, Sunway Group gathered momentum by momentum. However, unlike many other diversified businesses, Sunway maintained strength in every industry it gets involved in. Sunway in no doubt contributed to the growth of Subang Jaya. His strategy of concentric circles of growth around a strong core is an example of long term pursuit requiring consistency of vision and calculated risks mitigated by focused effort. It shows how breaking away from long standing traditions is needed to make breakthroughs. It is also a tale of operational vigilance. Over half of private colleges and universities in the country are illiquid. But then there are many schools of thoughts about how to run colleges. An analysis of how his college was run would be a study in innovativeness. Like the successful institutions in the west - many are stuck in plateaus while those that are innovative in market focus, curriculums and delivery methods rise at 45-degree growth charts. Constantly changing policies and repackaging of tired old thoughts would not have turned abandoned mines into economic generators. This is the sort of leadership we need or need to learn from. ..
