Security and Progressing Technology

Security and Progressing Technology

Security is subject to changing circumstances and escalation. When a new technology comes along the security measures must be designed protect it, hopefully before any attackers do any damage. When old technology continues to be used it is subject to escalation; attackers become more apt at finding ways to break in so security must find ways to stay ahead of them. New security might still include some old and reliable methods, but it is always being added to if not constantly improved.
Changes in security must be used by all involved, if not society at large. Security systems must be implemented with agreement and coordination, with technology and protocols adopted by all users. This can be a lengthy process, perhaps involving legal and bureaucratic processes. It the data and property that the security aims to protect is already operational there may be a window of opportunity for any potential attackers to exploit. Occasionally attackers learn enough about a system to continue exploiting it even when reliable security is later introduced.
If a new technology is suddenly made available, often after years of research, it is hard for law officials to protect it. Criminals can be quite technologically savvy, and quick to exploit a situation. Law officials, who are probably quite capable in their own areas of expertise, may not have the training or background to deal with the new situation. When online computer hacking appeared in the late 1980s the police, use to dealing with bank robberies and hostage situations, did not have the computer facilities to tackle the crime, nor any knowledge beyond the level of the general public. Even the legal situation was hazy – was stealing data the same a stealing a possession.
There is a further advantage for any individual attackers in that they can break in after finding just one weakness in a security system. The defenders, by contrast, need to be aware of every possible weakness in their system, because at any one time there are numerous attackers trying to break in. Defence, at least initially, is the harder situation.

Fingerprint scanning security is a semi-exception to this. When fingerprinting was first introduced in the 19th century the criminals took some time to catch on, and had to develop criminal methods that did not leave fingerprint traces. And by that time many criminals were already caught and behind bars.

Secure premises measures, preventing a criminal for breaking into a company building, will always be important. Fingerprint scanning remains crucial here, being one of the hardest security measures to fake, now we have companies such as Supremanic providing quality finger print scanning technology, with the latest fingerprinting systems being even more secure than earlier designs. Secure premises should always be the first line of defence.

Solutions for Stained Teeth

Stained, discoloured teeth are never as attractive as white teeth, even as they are sometimes in quite good health. These dental stains can be caused by foods and beverages like coffee, by smoking, by neglecting good dental hygiene, or simply because discoloured teeth are common in the individual’s family. There are several modern methods available to your dentist for removing, or at least reducing the discoursed stains. These include:


Teeth Whitening Camden

This uses bleaching gel to penetrate and whiten the teeth. The gel technique requires a barrier to prevent the gel from touching the sensitive gums, but is quite effective. It does require periodic reapplication, but patients can reliably have 6 months to perhaps a year worth of well whitened teeth.

At Grace Dental Clinic Camden residents can arrange to have regular teeth whitening as they arrange their regular bi-annual appointment.

At Grace dental we can also arrange kits for home teeth whitening Hoxton Park resident’s use.


Porcelain Veneers Dental Clinic Wetherill Park

Porcelain veneers are a permanent solution to stained/discoloured teeth, and are also useful for other cosmetic dental problems such as slightly misshaped teeth. The technique attaches a thin layer of porcelain over the front of the tooth, which looks healthy and natural and functions normally. Unfortunately, these veneers require part of the underlying natural tooth to be permanently removed. But the results themselves are permanent.


Laser Whitening Dental Clinic Miller

Laser whitening uses hydrogen peroxide to lighten teeth, with the laser acting as a catalyst to speed up the procedure. This allows for a fairly quick treatment, which patients prefer.

Some people show sensitivity to the laser light used in this technique, but for the most part it has even less problems than gel lightening.


Braces Camden

Teeth may need straightening as well as colour whitening. Talk to your orthodontist/dentist about braces or invisalign, and be one huge step closer to a perfect smile.

Sydney and Melbourne Property

Recent journalistic articles claim the Sydney and Melbourne Housing markets ‘defy belief’ , and that government measures taken to rectify the situation could actually make things worse. Property prices continue to increase, with Sydney median houses being nine times the gross household income, and Melbourne properties being seven times the household income.

Part of the rising cost is believed to be due to the surging investor demand. There are plenty of investors willing to put money into a second or third property, but relatively few people who can buy the first home. More than half of the new housing mortgages are for investors.


Some of the proposed measures to address this situation include the creation of a housing finance corporation for low income earners, allowing them to only pay 70% of the mortgage cost. Another proposal is to allow first time buyers to use part of their superannuation.


Both of these proposed measure seem limited, even counterproductive. First time home buyers are unlikely to have much superannuation to draw on. And as Sydney has had an 18% increase in housing cost over the last year, with prices more than double what they were in 2009, so a mortgage cost reduce to 70% seems unlikely to help. This reduces rate only applied to low income situations anyhow.


Another proposal was flooding the market with more available housing. Hopefully the increase in availability would help reduce the cost of individual houses.

Sydney housing prices are increasing rapidly. But there are government measures designed to compensate for this. These measures could affect investments in the future. Talk to a conveyancing firm Sydney to reduce the financial risk.

If the government take up the proposal to drastically increase the available housing there will be many property developments to invest in. But as these are designed to decrease the average cost of housing any investors must be wary. Talk to a conveyancing service to avoid any problems.

Organic Home Decor

Design and House Painters Sydney

Culture and civilization is built from the human habit of modifying apthe natural world. Keeping part of the natural world’s organic appearance in our designs and creations is necessary if we are to avoid sterile looking results. It is possible to create with pure colours but like cheaper CGI it look artificial, or perhaps a little dreamlike.

House Painting Sydney

Houses usually have walls painted in plain colours. The potential monotony of this plainness is fixed with wall decorations, flooring, furniture and the other possessions found in most homes. This often works best when the furnishings have some organic elements.


Wood is ubiquitous in our homes. Even when we use synthetic materials like vinyl or laminate we find they are designed to resemble woodgrain, or perhaps stone. It is not difficult to add wood to a room; think of most furniture. Adding woodgrain makes a space seem less artificial, and hence less stultifying. Matching the paint and woodwork is particularly effective.


Warmer looking metals, like brass or copper, also feel organic. Adding these to a room is good it they match the rest of the décor.


Windows tend to come as part of the house’s basic design, though they can be added. By letting in some natural light and a natural view of the outside world we can liven up a bland looking room.


Houseplants belong in every home. They are the most organic looking option, and help clean the air. Find a way to make the décor and the houseplants complement each other.


House Painting Services Sydney

Consider how you want your home and its repainted rooms to look. The painted walls are basically the backdrop for the rest of the décor, but we must make sure that we get this backdrop right. Talk to your painters and designers to find the optimal look for the space in which you live.

Some Quotes on Designs

We might loosely divide modelling and construction hobbies into two broad categories. One is using our imagination to create something completely new, the other is to reproducing something that is the product of another’s imagination. Both can be satisfying and creative.






Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.” – Wernher Von Braun


“Making the complicated simple, awesomely simple – That’s creativity.” Charles Mingus






“Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected” William Plomer


“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look as things in a different way.” Edward de Bono


No one else has had or will ever have your unique combination of talents, experiences and dreams. So don’t waste that uniqueness.” -Patrick Combs



Custom decals

Whether it is plastic model decals for a reproduction of an actual vehicle or your own waterslide decal paper for you own creative pet project, decals are useful for that final touch and fine detail.



Balustrades are fences or railings, consisting of a set of identical vertical posts (balusters) supporting a horizontal railing. They are common in many architectural designs, being incorporated into everything from staircases and balconies to pool fences. They can be as aesthetically pleasing as they are functional.


While it may be necessary to install the balustrade as a safety barrier they can often be best thought of as a way of defining space. Think of them as walls between different rooms. We rarely have houses that are all one room, so we need not have gardens or other areas as one large space.


Else, we might install a glass fence, which provides a protective barrier without seeming to intrude on the space.


Lace Balustrade

Made of Iron or aluminium these barriers can be sparse and open looking, yet work quite effectively. Popular on stairway they suit vintage and some modern houses.

Timber Balustrade

Popular on outdoor furnishings such as balconies or into stairway these timber barriers can be painted or left bare, making them rustic or slick looking.

Stainless Steel Balustrade

A low maintenance and long lasting options. Stainless steel is difficult to paint, but many like its semi-shiny natural look.


Tempered glass is durable, and hardly noticeable.


Balustrade Sydney
Australia has strict laws about installing safety fencing around pools. But as long as the fences fulfils the safety requirements there are a lot of pleasing design options. It is always possible to design a pool fence Sydney residences find suitable.



It is a lesson learnt over and over again. We can prepare for an emergency, prepare for a possible street fight by training and honing our technique, and find that the real problem is the panic and stress in the moment of crisis. All the technique in the world is wasted if we freeze up at the moment we need to fight.


Individuals react differently to the adrenaline we experience in a crisis. Literature has been referring to the fight or flight response for generations, these being two completely different ways to handle a threat – escape of fight. Yet there are also individuals who physically faint, become emotional and burst out laughing, or who fight competently for 30 seconds before collapsing. This reaction is unpredictable; mentally strong people sometimes handle a sudden crisis poorly. How we deal with long term issues and a sudden surprise attack are very different things. Some individuals can master one without being able to deal with another.


Military warriors from all traditions had rituals that helped them prepare for battle. These were largely to deal with adrenaline issues. Meditation and other practices would not stop the adrenaline hit, but they helped the individuals deal with it positively. We can use the strength from adrenaline; it is part of our biology for a reason.


Of course, this only works when we know we are preparing for battle or competition. We are unlikely to anticipate a street confrontation, and will not be given time to practice deep breathing. So how do we prepare for the unexpected?


Self defence

Martial arts training need to include competition. There is a certain amount of adrenaline in competition, and this steadily teaches us to deal with the physiological and psychological aspects of adrenaline episodes. Some sports, like abseiling, can have a similar positive influence.

Self Defence classes for women Sydney

Those who do not compete, or at least expose themselves to some adrenaline inducing situations, are only receiving part of the training they need. Being able to handle ourselves means being able to handle the emotions of a crisis. Regular competition is a step in the right direction.
