How To Tackle Smiling Depression
Smiling depression might be one of the worlds most dangerous forms of depression with people hiding behind a smile instead of getting help.Most of the people in my life are surprised to find out I suffer from depression with near-daily thoughts of ending my own life because I've hidden it so well behind a smile and a joke.There are many reasons as to why someone might do this, from wanting to keep their job to not wanting to burden someone else with your problems, but that shouldn't be the norm for society.Click to find out more https://unwantedlife.me/what-is-the-strange-world-of-smiling-depression

Fast and Efficient Establishment Of Commonwealth Run Covid-19 Quarantine Facilities
 Political blame-shifting looks to be crowding out common sense in our management of Covid-19.Rather than seeking to build bespoke Commonwealth owned quarantine facilities – with long construction lags and inefficient resource allocation – we should consider the Commonwealth taking over (by lease or purchase) hotels & apartment hotels across the country and managing these using defence personnel. These facilities should have the air management and conditioning systems upgraded to minimise airborne virus spread and structures that allow sound isolation practices. This should give us first-rate quarantine practices across the nation and cut some of the state/commonwealth blame game.

Use Vaccine Passports to Drive Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake
Individual health and the 'common interest' will be well served by maximising the Covid-19 vaccination rate in the Australian population. Besides an effective community-wide education program, vaccine passports should be introduced as an incentive to get fully vaccinated. These passports should be used to qualify for immediate and continuous quarantine free interstate travel – and when appropriate, international travel.

A mental model to understand bureaucracy
Mental models help us understand the world. Management by Complexity is one such model. When you see it, you can combat it - and you can use the converse to get things done, better, at scale. https://partridgegp.me/telefarce

UP Bank Frollo's The Big 4 In Open Banking
Leading neobank UP has done its bit to accelerate Open Banking in Australia by becoming the 7th bank to make its data available as a Data Holder.This means UP's circa 300,000 customers can share their financial data with other accredited Open Banking participants (such as personal financial management app, Frollo, and CBA).UP's runaway popularity with a digitally-native customer base makes it easily the most requested institution by customers of Frollo and similar money-management tools, and so the early move to share data can't be understated in putting a well-timed rocket under the Open Banking roll-out.https://mozo.com.au/neobanks/articles/neobank-up-joins-frollo-open-banking-platform
