NOT SHAMEFUL TO REMEMBER Memories of war enable our society to remember the past, to express appreciation to those who sacrificed their lives and willingly served our country. At the same time we also need to acknowledge and accept that on occasions, events and happenings from the past, which would be considered unnecessary today, occurred for significant and highly acceptable reasons. Those of us today should never feel guilt nor shame for these actions, which some are constantly demanding that we do. This is why we, as Australians, come together every ANZAC Day. We do it to commemorate the ANZAC’s and their achievements: we should remember them though, not as old soldiers from a forgotten war, but as the young Australians each of them were in 1915, when they left our shores to defend Australia. Remembering moments from our history allows us as a society to learn from them and to move forward in a positive and determined manner. We cannot change history and nor should we, but we can and should learn from it. Australians young and old, will always remember them.

Great class taught by General George Casey. Learned a ton and it was an awesome opportunity to dive back into comparing “the military way” and the “business way” and seeing how often they complement each other. #cornellmba #johnsonmba #vucaworld #leadershipdevelopment

The Golden Bull of 1242 is a significant historical document issued by King Béla IV of Hungary, granting Zagreb, which is now the capital of Croatia, the status of a free royal city. This decree came after the devastating Mongol invasion of 1241-1242, which had left large parts of Hungary and Croatia in ruins. Recognizing the need to rebuild and fortify his kingdom against future threats, King Béla IV took several strategic steps. By elevating certain towns to 'free royal cities,' he granted them special privileges which included self-governance, exemption from certain taxes, and the right to develop their own judicial systems. This status was intended to encourage economic development, attract settlers, and rapidly recover from the ravages of the Mongol invasion. Furthermore, King Béla IV understood the importance of strong defensive structures and, as part of his kingdom-wide strategy, he initiated the construction and reinforcement of castles and fortifications. These strongholds served as both deterrents to future invasions and as administrative centers that helped to reassert royal authority across his lands. The Golden Bull of 1242 thus marks a pivotal moment in the history of Zagreb and the Kingdom of Hungary, setting the stage for the urban growth and the defensive strategy that would shape the region for centuries to come.
