First Word For The Week

The first word for this week is: perspicacious
(adopted from Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day September 21, 2022)

Perspicacious means having the ability to see and discern details that others may miss (from things that are difficult or not obvious). An example is a perspicacious judge of character.

Some things are easy to discern, such as the close resemblance between two individuals. For example, there was a close resemblance between a teacher at my high school and Rambo. We called him Rambo.

Facial recognition and face matching could be complicated, however. There are many issues in matching one face to another. Here is an article on training courses to improve the performance of professionals who match faces, known as facial reviewers and facial examiners.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
