Integrity

Integrity is the key to existence and enrichment.
There is no greater purpose, principle or priority.

Integrity means:
1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.
2. the state of being whole and undivided.

or trying to keep yourself together while you really get to know yourself.

It is a form of energy that fuels and is a necessary condition of existence. Continued existence requires sufficient integrity and is a necessary condition for enrichment.

"You do not wake up one morning a bad person. It happens by a thousand tiny surrenders of self-respect to self-interest" Robert Brault

©igma Integrity

Cigma is designed with integrity in mind.

If you're planning to communicate (especially widely) it is important that the words and images you choose have the best chance of being interpreted in the way you intend.

If we're honest we all have experience of being misunderstood by others - and it can hurt our integrity.

Cigma is designed to help improve the chances of communicating with integrity and being understood in good spirit by helping to;

Create the right ideas

Inspire others by choosing the right words and messages

Guide the best way to give and receive information

Maintain the chances of being understood

Appraise the results

Safety

©igma helps you stay safe and secure

Safety is the condition of being protected against harmful conditions or events, or the control of hazards to reduce risk.

Advice for the insecure - safe enough is good enough

http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/internet-security-center

Password Security

Please be aware that absolute security is not possible.

However, safe enough is good enough.

It’s easier than you think to create strong, hard-to-guess, easy-to-remember passwords.

DOs

Use a password phrase and make it relevant. If you’re joining a crossword site, think "knot my pencil" and write it something like this: |<n0tmyP3n$il

Make it something you can visualize. It’s easier to remember that way

Make it more than 10 characters and include capitals, numbers and symbols

The more personal the better. For a clothing retail site think "mY5orit3$hirt’sR3d" (my favorite shirt is red)

DON'Ts

Use names: pets, businesses, family, friends, etc.

Use letter or number patterns: 1234, abcd, etc.

Use birthdays, addresses, postal or zip codes, even if you add a number or symbol

Use less than 10 characters

Store them locally or on the Internet
