It’s been a long and tiring workday. When 5pm finally rolls around, you’re ready to throw open the door, beat all possibility of traffic, and fly home. And in a few short years, you’ll likely have the chance to do that. Flying cars are the future and eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles) are the next big thing in personal mobility. This week, the Israeli company AIR announced its partnership with Australian electric aircraft distributor, FlyOnE, to supply AIR’s first eVTOL aviation fleet to Australian consumers. I can't wait to try it out and share pictures on IdeaSpies: https://israeltrade.org.au/2022/03/22/israeli-evtol-creator-air-to-deliver-first-fleet-to-australian-buyers/

Type 2 Diabetes is a silent pandemic. Millions have the disease and many do not know they have it. It disproportionately affects Indigenous Australians. The total annual cost for Australians with the disease is $6 billion. Enough GPs think there is no cure and simply prescribe medications but there is evidence that body fat reduction reverses the Disease. Dr Michael Mosley advocates rapid weight loss. Canadian nephrologist Dr Jason Fung advocates intermittent fasting. Low carb eating and regular exercise are part of the solution. In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service accepts that Type 2 Diabetes is reversible.
Geoship installed its first bio-ceramic geodesic dome to create long-lasting, zero-carbon, fireproof and biologically resonant architecture. The idea is to create more than a new home design, but a new way of creating communities to build homes. Geoship mixes a type of ceramic crystals and forms them into triangular moulds. The panels are installed on a network of struts that support the dome structure, almost like the interior structure of a mushroom cap. The end product is recyclable, mould-proof, fire-proof and flood-proof. The domes are also hurricane, earthquake and insect resistant. It even comes in cool colours.
