The Miscarriage Australia website offers evidence-based support for Australians affected by miscarriage while providing a referral source for healthcare providers. "The website is based on Miscarriage Australia research that found people want information and resources about miscarriage in the one place, informed by strong evidence and reputable experts and sources" says Dr Jade Bilardi. “My own experiences of miscarriage showed me clearly the huge difference between positive support experiences and poor support experiences."

Described as the “biggest change to the power system in history”, we are seeing a move to High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission grids around the world. These grids are overtaking alternating current/AC systems whose magnetic fields generate substantial losses in the process of transmission.And to facilitate the switching from AC to DC and back (given most of our household systems are AC) we now have the insulated gate bipolar transistor or IGBT.Maybe sounds technical, but with these two technologies, we will be able to better manage our grids for renewable energy.A thoroughly interesting development: https://www.economist.com/technology-quarterly/2023/04/05/electric-grids-fed-by-renewables-n
A new airplane seat concept that allows wheelchair users to stay in their own chair throughout a flight was revealed this week by a subsidiary of US airline Delta, a move welcomed as a “huge step” by potential customers.“Unbelievably excited,” is how power wheelchair user and avid traveler Cory Lee described his reaction after a working prototype of the design was demonstrated by Delta Flight Products (DFP) at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany, a symposium spotlighting airplane cabin innovations.https://edition.cnn.com/travel/delta-flight-products-wheelchair-airplane-seat-design/index.html
