The gesture led by the CEO of the charity organization, Obeng Agyenim Boateng, aims to enhance the efficiency and service delivery of the Directorate.

During a presentation ceremony at the office, Mr. Obeng Agyenim Boateng underscored the foundation’s commitment to supporting education, a cornerstone of national development.

“Education remains a cornerstone of national development, and the Foundation is committed to providing the tools that enhance efficiency and service delivery,” he noted.

The gesture follows the inadequate IT infrastructure at the office despite education officers working tirelessly to improve educational outcomes for its students.

The donation is expected to significantly impact the district’s ability to manage educational programs effectively.

As the Pru West District Education Office integrates the new desktop computer into their operations, it is expected to streamline administrative processes, ultimately benefiting students and educators.

According to Police sitrep, Corporal Christopher was exposed by a colleague Sergent Daniel Nketia, who visited the former after he failed to attend duty from 9th to 15th May 2021 at the Police Headquarters.

Sergent Nketia is said to have sighted the missing Samsung monitor and Zebra system unit computer with inscriptions of the Ghana Police Service boldly written on it, in the Corporal’s room.

Seargent Nketia is said to have reported the issue and led the District Commander together with a team of investigators from the District Criminal Investigations Department, Sunyani to Regional headquarters to the Corporal’s home.

Corporal Christopher was brought to the station for questioning and his investigation caution statement was taken.

They say their algorithms can identify users who lie about their gender, with more than 90% accuracy.

Most dating website users say they have encountered at least one fake profile, according to consumer group Which?

And the number of people defrauded by dating scams reached a record high in 2016.

Analysing data from 5,000 verified public profiles manually checked by employees on adult content site Pornhub, the algorithms learned how men and women of different ages interacted with others, how they commented on posts and their style of writing.

That allowed them to trawl the rest of the website in search of those lying about their gender and their age.

Fake profiles are common on dating sites, and can be used to defraud

Testing ground

The study suggested almost 40% of the site’s users lied about their age and 25% lied about their gender, with women more likely to deceive than men.

Dr Walid Magdy, of the University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics, said: “Adult websites are populated by users who claim to be other than who they are, so these are a perfect testing ground for techniques that identify catfishes.”

“What was interesting was that it seems that for many the reason for lying was to get more friends and subscribers.”

Dr Magdy said the algorithms, developed by computer scientists at Edinburgh University, in collaboration with Lancaster University, Queen Mary University, London and King’s College, London, could “lead to useful tools to flag dishonest users and keep social networks of all kinds safe”.

“It has many applications such as people who fake accounts on Twitter for political reasons or for children who fake accounts to access adult websites,” he said.

The study will be presented at a conference in Australia on the future of social networks.
