Illustration for business story, 02/22/2007: good deeds, kindness at the office
This is my coronavirus story.
On a recent Friday night, my son and his best friend were sitting in a car talking when a policeman pulled up. I can understand. They were sitting in the car at Newfield Elementary School just shooting the breeze and it was probably not a good place to be. He asked what they were doing and they told him, just catching up. He asked for licenses and they turned them over.
He searched the car and the trunk and finding nothing, he returned the friend’s license and they drove off.
It was only when my son got home that he realized he didn’t have his license.

Opposites Attract? Yes, But For a Surprising Reason

We've known this for a long time. Opposites attract .  More about my husband later.  But a new study says that, besides from attracting each other, they can make some good decisions together. According to newswise.com, o pposites may attract and drive each other a little crazy, but, together, they can make satisfactory decisions despite their divergent attitudes, says a Boston College researcher who led a study that explored how selfish and altruistic consumers join in decision making. Consumers routinely make joint decisions with others - which restaurant to eat in, what movie to watch, or where to go on vacation. Researchers from Boston College, Georgia Tech, and Washington State University wanted to see if people with opposite attitudes could come to satisfactory decisions together, the web site reports. "The studies found that when paired with a selfish partner, it is better to behave altruistically rather than selfishly," newswise notes. "Similarly, when...

Want to be a Better Boss? Play with Your Kids

 It may be hard to believe, in these hours when we're yelling at our kids to do their homework, stop fighting with each other and get out from underfoot while they're "hybrid" learning.  But a new study has found that, if you can interact peaceably with your kids, it may make you a better boss . According to newswise.com, new research from the University of Georg ia found that "positive interactions with your child during your off hours can make you a better leader." The study examined two samples of 46 and 113 managers, measuring whether participants had experienced positive interactions with their families—such as working together on a project or laughing together, each day after work. The study also looked at whether participants felt connected to their family and satisfied with their family life in general. "The researchers also analyzed leadership practices , asking participants how often they engaged in behaviors such as making sure employees know...

Can You Tell a Real Voice From a Fake One?

Now here's a question. Are human brains vulnerable to voice-morphing attacks? What we're talking about is telling the difference between a human voice, and a morphed (or synthesized) one.  May not seem to matter but what if it's someone pretending to be a lottery official telling you you've won, well, a couple of million? According to newswise.com, a   recent research study led by the  University of Alabama at Birmingham ’s  Department of Computer Science  analyzed the differences in neural activities when users are processing different types of voices, including morphed voices. Huh? The study showed there may not be any statistically significant differences in the way the human brain processes original legitimate speakers versus synthesized speakers , whereas clear differences are visible when encountering legitimate versus different other human speakers — meaning humans are vulnerable to voice imitation attacks . “Our study suggests human users...
