  • Custard Apples

     I thought of custard apples today, which was very surprising because I never had the fruit (I don’t believe I tried or tasted it in the past). I believe I heard about the apple a long, long time ago. I found some interesting information on the fruit on Google. Three things I wanted to highlight:… Continue reading

  • A peek at building examples in Guyana

     A recent post by Visit Guyana showed examples of modern office buildings in Guyana that I associate with downtown areas: (Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Y7zt6EzGJxtDQ4Dv/?mibextid=Nif5oz) I am not affiliated with the Visit Guyana page. Continue reading

  • Downtown Areas

     I stumbled upon an interesting article on developing downtowns. Here it is: https://www.bdcnetwork.com/investing-downtowns-pays-cities-regions?page=3 More economic/business activity should lead to more demand for office and manufacturing space, which should lead to more investment in downtown areas. In Guyana, Georgetown has the largest and most established downtown area (which makes sense as it is the capital). The downtown… Continue reading

  • Feedback

    Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I like to receive feedback. Thank you for liking yesterday’s post Technology Affects Jobs (some of the likes shown below). It reminded me of my paper on the effects of electronic monitoring for hand hygiene compliance (available here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/378547801_Are_Technology_Solutions_For_Hand_Hygiene_Compliance_A_Better_Option_For_Improving_Compliance_Rates). I continue to ask for feedback – general or specific (I have… Continue reading

  • Technology Affects Jobs

    Response to the WordPress prompt for 3/26/2024: Technology has affected people’s jobs in a myriad of ways. I found some posts in Twitter/X that provide examples. Some jobs are enhanced by technology, some lose jobs because of technology, employees are more productive because of technology (electronic monitoring), and so on. Continue reading

  • Yesterday

    Yesterday I went out for breakfast with my mother. The neighbors threw some powder on her hand to involve her in the Phagwah “activities” on the street. She was lucky it wasn’t a bucket of water thrown on her because there was a lot of that. It was a happy time on our street (for… Continue reading

Sometimes you feel getting everything you want will bring happiness But I am old enough to know it… Continue reading

  • Update; Recent foods

     Good morning from Linden, Guyana! I went out for a very short walk today. I don’t believe it is Monday morning already. The weekend went by in a flash. My mother made “some nice macaroni stew” on Sunday. I enjoyed it. I also had some callaloo recently. That was good too. Recently, my mother has… Continue reading

  • Phagwah-time

    It is Phagwah-time in Guyana! I recall that when I was a child, some people celebrated Phagwah by throwing water to soak others. (More on Phagwah at: https://exploreguyana.org/event/phagwah/ – I am not affiliated with the website. The colors in the pictures remind me of spring in the U.S.) Continue reading

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.
