Sustainability 101 is a blog series that you can turn to for information about different environmental terms that may come up at work, during discussions with friends, and even at your family gatherings.  Energy efficiency is sometimes confused with energy conservation, but they are two different concepts. Energy conservation is focused on using less power, like turning off lights when they aren’t being used. Energy efficiency, meanwhile, focuses on reducing waste. So, if a device like a light is needed, how we can make sure the least amount of energy is wasted. They are similar and related, yet distinctly different. Both can help reduce utility bills and environmental impact, but here we’ll focus on energy efficiency.  There are ample opportunities to make businesses more energy efficient. One example includes smart building practices, such as installing sensors that learn occupant…

Quick Answer: Are nuclear power plants safe? Yes, modern nuclear power plants are generally safe when they are well designed, strictly regulated, and run by skilled operators. That does not mean nuclear power is risk free. It means the whole system is built to keep the chance of a serious accident very low through multiple safety layers, constant inspections, backup systems, and emergency planning. In the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission does not treat safety as a vague promise. It uses clear public-risk goals, including a standard that the risk of cancer fatalities to people living near a normally…

How to make self sizing cells in Swift both for table & collection views supporting orientation changes and dynamic font types. UITableViewSo let’s start with a standard single-view template for iOS. Name the project, and go straight to the Main.storyboard file. Select your view controller, delete it and create a new UITableViewController scene.Set the table view controller scene as initial view controller and create a TableViewController.swift file with the corresponding class.import UIKit class TableViewController: UITableViewController { var dataSource: [String] = [ “Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.”, “Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit…

If you want to understand where construction safety is headed, then you need to pay attention to what the research shows, as it can provide a blueprint for the future of work. Recently, the American Society of Safety Professionals released a new report highlighting the future of workplace environmental health and safety. The research compiles feedback from safety professionals, including key takeaways, to identify trends impacting the safety profession across all industries. Although, the findings are particularly insightful for the construction industry, which still ranks as one of the top industries with the highest rates of workplace deaths. The American…

TL;DR Amazon Leo’s new low-profile antenna offers 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload speeds. Major carriers like Delta and JetBlue have already secured agreements to integrate this hardware. Despite having a smaller satellite constellation than Starlink, Amazon is leveraging laser links and AWS Edge locations to provide seamless global coverage. For years, “high-speed” in-flight Wi-Fi has been a bit of a marketing myth. The offers were fine for a sluggish email, but a nightmare for anything else. That is finally set to change as Amazon Leo (formerly known as Project Kuiper) officially unveiled its Aviation Antenna. Offering speeds of…

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have introduced a new theoretical design for quantum systems based on what they call “giant superatoms.” This concept offers a fresh way to protect, control, and share quantum information, potentially bringing scientists closer to building large-scale quantum computers. Quantum computers are expected to transform fields like drug discovery and encryption by solving problems that are far beyond the reach of conventional machines. However, progress has been limited by a major challenge known as decoherence. This occurs when quantum bits, or qubits, lose their information due to interactions with their surroundings. Even small…

Big companies are starting to use many AI agents—sometimes hundreds or thousands. This creates a problem. Think of it like a massive digital zoo where the animals (agents) are running wild. Platform teams face three critical challenges when managing this many agents: Visibility: Knowing what agents exist across the organization. Control: Governing who can publish and what becomes widely available. Reuse: Stopping teams from rebuilding agents that already exist. Without a central system, the number of agents grows too quickly, compliance risks increase, and effort is wasted on duplicate work. To fix this, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched the…

Applications built on a client-server model run across two distinct environments: The client is the user’s browser or app. It requests data or content from the server, receives a response, displays it to the user, and enables interaction with the application. The server is a remote computer that stores data and runs the core logic of an application. Although the client-server model is conceptually simple, understanding these environments, and, specifically, how they divide responsibility for logic, performance, and data, is central to modern web development. Knowing the difference between client-side and server-side development, and how they work together, can help…

As part of Canon’s ongoing commitment to delivering meaningful social value within communities across Ireland, we were proud to bring the Canon Young People Programme (CYPP) to Rosmini Community School, soon to be renamed Grace Park Community School, during the World Unseen Ireland exhibition. Based in the heart of Drumcondra, Rosmini is a co-educational, multi-denominational post-primary school known for its deeply inclusive ethos, as well as its dedicated specialist classes supporting students with visual impairments – making it a particularly powerful setting for an accessibility-driven creative initiative. Led by Canon Ambassador and award-winning visual storyteller Elisa Iannacone, the workshop invited…
