You can use the four way test too!

"Did you know the story of 4 way test?

You can use the 4 way test too!

In 1932, Herbert Taylor, from the Rotary Club of Chicago (and Past President of Rotary International, 1954-55), saved a failing aluminum company from the brink of bankruptcy by distinguishing itself from its competition by developing his Four-Way Test.

It is a test of fairness, honesty, and integrity in the industry.

Since then, his Four-Way Test has been adopted by Rotary in 1943 to underscore the value of business ethics. The Four-Way Test has served as a moral compass for members and their friends to live by their professional and personal relationships."

Real vs. fake - work for good can be misused

"I think these results seem very realistic and intriguing, but at the same time frightening, even to me. Our goal was to build an accurate model of a person, not to misrepresent them. But one thing that concerns me is its potential for misuse. 

People have been thinking about this problem for a long time, since the days when Photoshop first hit the market. As a researcher, I'm also working on countermeasure technology, and I'm part of an ongoing effort at AI Foundation, which uses a combination of machine learning and human moderators to detect fake images and videos, fighting against my own work. 

And one of the tools we plan to release is called Reality Defender, which is a web-browser plug-in that can flag potentially fake content automatically, right in the browser."

Why you should be news literate!

"Today, information moves around us in many forms, every hour of every day. Even if we do not seek out news on our own, we often receive it anyway, instantly, on our phones. 

So how can we manage this mountain of information so that fake news does not mislead us? 

We believe this requires news literacy. News literacy is the ability to use critical thinking skills to judge news reports. Are they credible? Can you rely on the reports to be true?"

The magic of truth and lies (video)

Labor Day, the traditional end to summer.

There are those among us who do work, very hard, at looking for work.

There are those among us who work very hard, at getting enough to eat.

There are those among us who have so much, they become careless.

This Labor Day, take a few minutes. Reflect on where you are, what you have, what you can help some one with.

Be aware of the lies and deceptions you tell your self. The lies that others tell you.

Marco Tempest has this brief TED video to help understand the difference between truth and lies, deception and magic.
