Will the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme help Australia's Energy Superpower potential
The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (from July 2021) puts a price on CO2 emissions, and has been a key driver of decarbonisation in energy and industry. From Dec 2022, the EU has decided to set up a similar scheme for the transport and heating sectors. And this includes the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) that will impact trade from Australia and the world - see details below. For expert opinions on how Australia can benefit catch the 'Transitioning to an Energy Superpower' webinar next Tuesday 6pm via; www.climateandpeace.com.auAlso see:https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/understanding-european-unions-emissions-trading-system

Worried about fraud, maybe don't clean the fish tank....
Fraud and Scams (or at least attempts), plague our lives. Emails, texts, calls, FB Marketplace, everywhere.However, are we looking close enough to home, at our own pets even?Sometimes good ideas should just stay as ideas, as one unlucky YouTuber found when his pet fish exposed his credit card details on his channel and started an online shopping spree.That's a pretty big flaw in the payment authentication workflow, don't you think?I for one would love to see the chargeback request for this!https://www.finextra.com/newsarticle/41687/pokmon-playing-fish-commit-credit-cod-fraud

Ultrasound could treat Alzheimer's Disease
Ultrasound treatments could be the key to restoring memory function for people with Alzheimer's disease. A decade of research at the University of Queensland, through the Queensland Brain Institute, has led to a 12-month trial to determine whether ultrasound treatments are safe for patients with the disease. Brain institute researchers, led by Jurgen Gotz, have developed a fit-for-purpose ultrasound device to be used in the trial.The trial is underway at the university and Mater Hospital Brisbane, where a maximum of 12 people will receive four fortnightly treatments before a brain MRI scan and a cognitive test.More information:  https://www.inkl.com/news/how-ultrasound-could-treat-alzheimer-s/lvmdLXupGJ
