Constant change transforms our everyday environment, but for hundreds of years, compressor valves remained unchanged. What are compressor valves? Compressor valves are valves used within a compressor to allow gas flow to and from the cylinder area. Although valves are small in size, their impact is beyond measure. Valves play a significant role in all the things that touch our daily lives, especially in the...

Due to development of technology, we live in an era that home and office appliances can be compromised and used to conduct a cyber attack. This was evident in 2016 whereby a cyber attack was launched using Mirai botnet malware. Mirai mostly affects IoT devices by scanning for open SSH ports or Telnet. Eventually, this destroys the entire system. In that case, Cymmetria did extensive research and developed an open source honeypot for Mirai detection. Let us look at Mirai...

As of late 2017, a new fine on pollutant vehicles has come into operation within the boundaries of the London Congestion Charge zone. Labelled the T-charge, the £10 fee is an addition to the existing £11.50 daily cost of driving through London, and aims to improve the capital’s air quality by reducing the number of higher-polluting vehicles driving through it. The charge is in operation between Monday and Friday from 7am to 6pm, and affects vehicles that do not meet...

Although technology has brought us some incredible innovations that we can use in our day-to-day activities, keeping some old habits alive is an excellent idea as well. Motivational experts often speak about how having big visible charts can serve as an information radiator that helps individuals keep track of their tasks, teams, progress, or lack of it.

GDPR is set to ensure that the way in which personal data is collected, stored and used aligns with the evolution of the digital industry since the EU Data Protection Directive in 1995.

Nowadays, we have more freedom to pursue our own ideas and passions and make money out of them. More and more people start their own businesses, and we often observe their evolution by asking ourselves why some of them became successful in spite of difficulties, and others not? Or maybe we are the ones who dream about starting a business and would like to assure ourselves that we do the right moves and avoid the most common and dangerous mistakes...

Buying a new or used car in in London is hugely popular: figures show there are 2.6 million registered cars in the capital, with 54 per cent of London households owning at least one car. Buying a brand-new car often doesn’t make much financial sense when you consider that it loses value as soon as you drive it away from the dealership.
