Fake News Fake World - How to Spot it

Image
The topic of Fake News ( or should we say Fake World ) continues to trend in the news and on social media. Actually fake news is nothing new, its just the first time anyone has found a name for it. Here are a few simple tips in how to avoid being duped by Fake News.   1 - Do I know this website? One obvious question you should always ask yourself! If its not  a news site you've ever heard of before then take extra care. Stick to posts from well known News sites Daily Mail, Guardian The Telegraph etc. etc. 2- Which country does the news orgionate from? This can be more tricky to spot but if your news post takes you, or has links to a a website outside of the social media site then its worth checking out the url. A story about an attach on a muslim in the UK found on a website in Russia is less likely to be trustworthy. So "www.Dailynews.Ru" or "www.dailynews.bg" are best avoided for your primary soource of information. A little bit of digging around can reveal ...

How to be Good in Business

Image
We love this famous quote from Andy Warhol.  For us, being good in business only means one thing. It's not something you can measure in monetary value, or how fast your business is growing. nor is it anything to do with how good you are at the technology or how good you are at getting new clients.  What we love the most about this fascinating kind of art is achieving customer satisfaction.  What Makes you Happy? The big question you have to ask yourself is: Why are you in business?  Maybe you love the flexibility of being your own boss or maybe you just can't stand the stress of a 9 to 5 where others get all the credit?  Maybe you started a business because you love working from home and being your own boss? For us, whatever other reasons we might have, we believe that to be good in business your first love has to be making people happy.  Customers or employees Whether you're a one man/woman band or you have a number of people wo...

Family Emergency? | is your phone in Sleep Mode?

Image
Family Emergency? | is your phone in Sleep Mode? So today my son was in a 70mph car accident, he lost control of his car and careered into the central reservation before then hitting the barrier on the left side of the carriage way. Don't worry nobody was injured and no other cars were involved. Although his car will not be road worthy for some time if ever. As a parent I feel particularly bad for him and the fact this happened to him but I'm grateful he walked away uninjured. But the main reason I feel so bad is knowing that immediately after the accident he spent 15 minutes on his own trapped in his car trying to phone his family. It was 8 am in the morning, my  Samsung S6 Edge was still on "Sleep Mode" so ringing me literally fell on deaf ears.  The worst thing is that I know better. There is no reason to have my phone unable to receive emergency calls whilst it is on sleep mode.  Its just laziness I guess for not setting my phone up properly...
