If not NOW, When? #Rebootology

 If not now WHEN?

What is the difference between if you  took time off after just three years of full-time employment., spent over $100,000 of your own money [or borrowed as HECS] then spent time reading books, making friends and learning across a number of different disciplines., or went to a seminar or course to learn stuff, met other like minded people wanting to improve themselves and borrowed the money on your credit card. When you do Buiness School nobody criticise you, which is your first  first choice, but if you do the second thing, every man and his dog will criticise you and complain about uncredentialled teachers [even if they have achieved success in the area you are sudying] Why is that? Because choice one goes by another name: Business School. or post graduate studies lead by credentialled yet without life experience, teachers.

Taking time off for graduate school fits into the acceptable narrative for taking a break. Unfortunately, if you proposfully taking time off to “contemplate life” people will look at you like you live on another planet. 
A  typical one or two-week vacation wears off almost immediately and that the whole point of most vacations is to merely take a break from work instead of resting for its own sake.

Many people are struggling and admit that they really would love to take a break. Yet what holds people back is the fear they won’t be “hireable” afterward. This may be true if you spent a year doing nothing, but most people find that instead of idleness, they are filled with active energy, doing things like volunteering in their community, spending time with loved ones, writing books or even taking an entirely new path altogether.

Action: Make a list of the twenty experiences you want to have over the next ten years. Which ones can you take action on over the next year? How could you design extended breaks to experience some of these things sooner, rather than later?

Shouldn't you take a break or attend a seminar in an area of your interest now?

Deaths in custody #DeathsinCustody

 In Australia, deaths in custody are a significant issue that has been the subject of ongoing public concern and government action. According to the Australian Institute of Criminology, there were 474 deaths in custody between 1 July 2000 and 30 June 2019.

Indigenous Australians are disproportionately represented in deaths in custody, with Indigenous people making up around 29% of the prison population but accounting for around 47% of deaths in custody. This disparity is often attributed to a range of factors, including poverty, poor health, and a history of discrimination and over-representation in the criminal justice system.

There are a variety of causes of deaths in custody in Australia, including natural causes, suicide, and homicide. The majority of deaths in custody are due to natural causes, with suicide and homicide accounting for a smaller proportion.

The Australian government has implemented a number of measures to address deaths in custody. These include the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, which was established in 1987 and made 339 recommendations aimed at reducing the number of Indigenous deaths in custody. The government has also implemented a National Deaths in Custody Monitoring Program, which collects data on deaths in custody and provides information to assist in the development of policy and practice.

In addition to government action, there have been calls for changes in the criminal justice system to address the underlying issues that contribute to deaths in custody. These include reducing the number of people in prison, addressing the over-representation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system, and addressing the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to crime and incarceration.

However, despite the efforts made to reduce the number of deaths in custody, the problem persists. Many organizations, including the Human Rights Law Centre, Amnesty International, and the Indigenous Social Justice Association, have called for more action to be taken to address the issue. In particular, they have called for the implementation of the recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and for greater transparency and accountability in the criminal justice system.

In conclusion, deaths in custody in Australia are a significant issue that disproportionately affects Indigenous Australians. A variety of causes, including natural causes, suicide, and homicide, contribute to the problem. While the government has implemented measures to address the issue, more needs to be done to address the underlying issues that contribute to deaths in custody and to ensure greater transparency and accountability in the criminal justice system.

What is a nft?

What is an NFT? What does NFT stand for?

Non-fungible token.

That doesn’t make it any clearer.

Right, sorry. “Non-fungible” more or less means that it’s unique and can’t be replaced with something else. For example, a bitcoin is fungible — trade one for another bitcoin, and you’ll have exactly the same thing.

A one-of-a-kind trading card, however, is non-fungible. If you traded it for a different card, you’d have something completely different. You gave up a Squirtle, and got a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner, which StadiumTalk calls "the Mona Lisa of baseball cards” (I’ll take their word for it.)

How do NFTs work?

At a very high level, most NFTs are part of the Ethereum blockchain, though other blockchains have implemented their own version of NFTs. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also keeps track of who’s holding and trading NFTs.

I would rather be .....

I Would rather be because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.
