This #RemembranceDay, we honour the submariners of AE2.

Before the ANZACs landed at Gallipoli, AE2 became the first Allied submarine to breach the Dardanelles, “running amok” to disrupt enemy supply lines.

Scuttled after five days of daring action, all 35 crew survived.

🌊 On this day in 1914, the guns of HMAS Sydney and SMS Emden met off the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in what became the Royal Australian Navy’s first sea battle.

Diagram by Albert M. Barker, drawn from the captains’ original sketches, maps the courses of both ships during the battle.

SUNDAY READ: After decades of beach walks, Mark and Lucy Longden found something extraordinary buried in the sand between Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale, the remains of a wooden ship, possibly lost more than a century ago.

I listened to Peter George @indy4franklin.bsky.social speaking, last night, about the need for our Australian politicians (and electors) to develop the skill, sophistication & imagination to work with minority governments. Some of the most insightful political commentary I've heard in a long while.

When our education systems produce #SignificantLearning - the ability to appreciate the human dimension of the subject, to care about it, and to learn how to learn - they may begin to produce greatness once more.

Lately, I've been reflecting on my #DisputeResolution work as something closely related to #LearningDesign, allowing us to bring the human dimensions of a dispute to light and to create space for collaborative and care-full attentiveness, response, and redress.

It's not easy to model the trust expected of others when drafting an invitation to negotiate. Often, it goes against instinct and training. It might also set up the need for an internal negotiation with your own client.

Revisiting past reflections as I've been working, this week, with the topic of #fairness in the context of public sector conflicts & disputes in cases where there may be no legal claim to support a cause of action - only a hope of fairness following moral injury.

In our reading of Lainey Feingold's (2021) Structured Negotiation 2nd ed, we are discovering that “the Right Thing to Do” may be established in relational rather than in legal space.

The Herball, or, Generall historie of plantes

John Gerard’s 1597 herbal includes the first published description of the potato plant to appear in English. The illustration was probably the 1st picture of a potato that most British people had ever seen. This is a later edition. #ArchiveFoodAndDrink

Before the Tinui crowd again claim “the first Anzac Day service in the world” title a plug for the good folk at Titirangi! It’s really not about who was first because communities throughout NZ & A (and soldiers in Cairo/London) wished to mark the first anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings #AnzacDay
