SCIENCE AND TECH
In boardrooms across the capital, digital transformation tops every agenda, yet few executives realise that its success hinges on the first few metres of physical infrastructure inside their premises. The move from on-prem servers to multi-cloud, from legacy telephony to unified communications, from static offices to smart, sensor-rich workplaces—all of it depends on a resilient cabling backbone. That is why organisations serious about performance, compliance and sustainability start by investing in structured cabling by ACCL before commissioning the next wave of software or services. Place the right copper and fibre in the ground and everything else—AI analytics, 8K video collaboration, real-time IoT telemetry—has room to breathe. Ignore it, and the most sophisticated technology stack will stumble at Layer 0.
A Single Standardised Platform for Every Digital Workflow
Structured cabling delivers something ad-hoc wiring never can: predictability. By segmenting a building into clearly labelled pathways and consolidation points, engineers know exactly where any service originates and terminates, whether it is a cloud fail-over link, a PoE-powered access point or a building-management sensor. That transparency slashes mean time to repair and allows routine moves, adds and changes to be executed without overtime approvals or fire-drill risk assessments. Above all, it future-proofs the estate; the same horizontal run that carries 1 Gbps today can be re-terminated for 10 Gbps or even 25 Gbps tomorrow without knocking holes in plasterboard.
Performance Headroom That Pays Dividends Every Day
In London’s high-density offices, bandwidth demand doubles roughly every 26 months. Video conferencing has shifted from 1080p to 4K; CAD files once shared on portable drives now sync continuously to cloud render farms; security cameras push analytics-ready streams to AI engines at the edge….

Surgery has come a long way from its early days of rudimentary tools and limited knowledge. What once relied heavily on trial and error has transformed into a precise, science-driven field. Advances in techniques, technology, and understanding of the human body have revolutionized general surgery. These innovations have improved patient outcomes but also set higher standards for safety and recovery.
Key Events in the History of General Surgery
The story of general surgery reflects humanity’s determination to tackle illness and improve lives. Breakthroughs in methods and tools have made operations safer and more effective, highlighting the dedication of surgeons and researchers throughout history.
Surgery underwent a major transformation during the 19th century with two game-changing discoveries: antiseptics and anesthesia. Before these advances, operations were incredibly dangerous and excruciatingly painful.
In the 1860s, Joseph Lister introduced the use of carbolic acid to fight infections, building on Louis Pasteur’s germ theory. This innovation significantly reduced deaths caused by postoperative infections. Around the same time, anesthesia, such as ether and chloroform, allowed doctors to perform procedures without unbearable pain. These developments marked the beginning of modern surgical practices.
The 20th century saw incredible advancements in surgery. Organ transplants became possible, starting with the first successful kidney…
In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, OFFDENTAL is redefining what full mouth reconstruction truly means. This isn’t just another dental practice—it’s a place where dental innovation meets genuine compassion. OFFDENTAL specializes in treating some of the most complex dental cases with advanced solutions like full mouth implants, All-on-4® systems, and comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation.

Recent studies suggest that academic cheating using AI tools is already widespread
By Hazel Saunders / Business EditorEmployment assessments have become vital tools for organizations seeking to evaluate candidates beyond résumés and interviews. These assessments aim to gauge a person’s actual skills, be they problem-solving, communication, or technical proficiency. These practices are critical as research shows that job simulations are the best predictors of eventual job performance.
However, as the tools for hiring evolve, so do the tools for cheating, and the need for immediate action is becoming increasingly urgent..The rise of generative AI, particularly large language models like ChatGPT, is reshaping how candidates approach skill-based tests, even in unethical ways.
When the Test Isn’t Really Testing You
Recent studies suggest that academic cheating using AI tools is already widespread. A 2023 Forbes article noted that 89% of students admitted to using ChatGPT for schoolwork, sparking widespread concern among educators. The article further showed that 48% of respondents had help accomplishing an at-home test or quiz, 53% writing an essay, and 22% creating an outline for a paper.
Moreover, 72% of college professors who are aware of ChatGPT are concerned about its impact on cheating. This statistic underscores a broader issue: if academic professionals are alarmed by the potential for dishonesty in controlled environments, hiring and talent acquisition teams should be equally vigilant. After all, these concerns are not confined to classrooms but extend into the workforce.
A growing number of job candidates are using AI to complete assessments, often without disclosing it. As a result, what’s supposed to measure actual ability becomes an indication of how effectively someone can delegate to a chatbot.
Cheating…
