Exporting Education Idea
"A diplomatic overture extending an olive branch of friendship by exporting the means of production of one of its most valuable resources, rather than just the fruits of it." The leading cybersecurity college in Israel, HackerU, today formally lodged an official petition to the Australian National Government to accredit Australia’s first-ever Offensive 'Red Team' Cybersecurity Qualification and with it potentially comes to a new framework for international trade. This idea of exporting education and not cybersecurity expertise means that Australians can train Australians to be industry experts and world-leaders, exceptionally important for this digital age and industry.

The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Marine Biotechnology, found that an extract of photosynthetically manipulated Spirulina is 70% effective in inhibiting the release of the cytokine TNF-a, a small signalling protein used by the immune system.From The Jerusalem Post - https://www.jpost.com/health-science/israeli-researchers-say-spirulina-algae-could-stop-covid-19-deaths-660064

Copper is the New Silver
MedCU's (https://medcu.com/) copper antimicrobial dressings. The first, and only, in the world with regulation clearance for commercialisation, holding both FDA & CE. One of the core properties of copper is the spectrum of antimicrobial efficacy. Copper kills a wide array of microorganisms, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, fungi and viruses. The biocidal effect is achieved through several non-specific mechanisms, preventing the development of copper resistance, allowing copper to be an effective treatment against antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. For more information about MedCU's antimicrobial wound dressings and to see how it can be applicable to hospitals, diabetic patients, and more, click here:
