    1. For instance, a strict interpretation of the law would require publishers to get opt-in consent by individual vendor, rather than an 'Accept All' pop-up prompt. The approach that publishers and ad tech vendor are taking is that a mass opt-in button - with an option to dive deeper and toggle consent by vendor - follows the "spirit of the law". This stance is increasingly coming under fire, though, especially as seen by a new study by researchers at UCL, MIT, and Aarhus University.

    1. Robert Wiblin: Yeah. I guess in politics it seems that that brings out people’s tribal instincts, so they tend to group together for practical reasons, if not intellectual reasons, like kind of all sharing the same views or like wanting to fall into line and are particularly incentivized to do that. An interesting thing, I’ll provide a link to a study looking at how ideologically tightly grouped are people in politics, which found that uneducated people just like have views all over the place. Their views on one question don’t really predict their views on another.

      So are you saying that you think political people group together more in politics than philosophers do in philosophy? Hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison here, of course, as most people don't think deeply about these philosophical questions.

There are many benefits of having a pre-wedding photo shoot in Melbourne of which the biggest one is the photographer being able to spend quality time with the bride and the groom solely focusing on capturing stunning images without the added stress of the day. The couple will have a better idea of how the professional photographer operates and will ensure they will be more comfortable posing in front of the camera on the big day. As well as being able to sample the wedding photographer’s style, it is also a great way to have professional images for invites, guestbooks and social media. A lot of the time the pre-wedding photos turn out better and more creative than photos on the day. Many pre-wedding photographers give you the choice of a number of themes and Melbourne locations for pre-wedding photos. Very often, couples display the cultural roots of their heritage in their guestbook and pre-wedding album. Other more modern couples prefer dreamy locations and exquisite clothing – like a glamorous photo shoot to capture the personality of the couple. The most popular kind of pre-wedding photo session is the candid style. These photos portray a natural and effortless mood, where pictures are candidly captured in a stunning backdrop. Being amongst the best pre-wedding photographers in Melbourne, we take it as our responsibility to ensure the couple feels comfortable, as, after all, we understand most of us are not runway models. It is important to note that not all photographers are experienced in capturing candid shots and there are many styles of wedding photography that exist. This is the reason why you must choose the best pre-wedding photographer Melbourne who has proven through their portfolio that they are comfortable with creative and photo shoots. Although at most weddings there will be a similarly styled photo shoot, usually this is much shorter and couples are not as good with responding to prompts with the stressors of the day.Pre-wedding photography Melbourne has picked up over the last few years in all cultures embracing these short creative sessions before their big day. Here are a few reasons Why You Should Book in a Pre-Wedding Photography Shoot in Melbourne:10 Reasons Why You Should book a Pre-Wedding Photography Melbourne<img class="alignnone wp-image-766 size-full lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590.jpg" alt="Pre-Wedding Photography Melbourne" width="1000" height="667" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590.jpg 1000w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC021590-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px">Reason#1 Getting rid of camera jittersAs mentioned above, with pre-wedding shoot couples are usually much better models as they will be more relaxed and hence the photos will turn out much more natural and candid. At Flashback Feels, we use certain prompts suited to the personality of the couple to try and hone in on these shots. Without the pressure of the big day and a big crowd, we can ensure we get the perfect shot with the perfect lighting and poses. Reason #2: Photos in different Melbourne locations<img class="alignright wp-image-765 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-300x200.jpg" alt="wedding photography Melbourne" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC022170.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">A lot of planning goes into the pre-wedding shots as the photographer can plan every aspect of the photos. Pre-wedding photos usually occur in a variety different locations which is great as this is not always practical during the wedding day to allow for this luxury. Often, a region where there are multiple sceneries is ideal such as beaches, forests, mountains. In Greater Melbourne, Red Hill and Arthur’s Seat is a prime example. You may also want to relieve the moments where you first saw each other, the place of the proposal, or any other location that’s special to the both. There are endless ideas that you may want to try, and you will be surprised at the impact it leaves on your pre-wedding album. Years later, when you look at these pictures, you will be reminded of those memories that were so crucial to building your relationship. Reason #3: It’s not your wedding day <img class="alignleft wp-image-532 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-300x200.jpg" alt="wedding photography Melbourne" width="330" height="220" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC02013.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px">This session is usually a lot of fun as you are not amidst the hustle-bustle of several things around you. Also, you certainly don’t have to coordinate a multitude of things like on the day of the event. Though your photographer will be a part of all the proceedings throughout the day and photos will be taken accordingly, no one will be there reminding you of the schedule for the day during your pre-wedding photoshoot. This is an all-exclusive shoot of just you, your partner and maybe your pet.  In some situations, pre-wedding engagement photography sessions may also have the couple posing in their wedding attire. While this may seem unusual for some, many couples find it so much easier to have a dedicated photo shoot in their wedding attire on a completely different day. Reason #4: Plan out your photos to perfection<img class="alignright wp-image-541 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-300x215.jpg" alt="wedding photographer Melbourne" width="241" height="173" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-300x215.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770-768x549.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC050770.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px">There is a great benefit of planning out your pre-wedding shoot. Although the technical aspects such as lighting and backdrops are primarily done by the photographer, you can help the by discussing places that are special to you, and the style you want to portray.The pre-wedding photography Melbourne session may last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Sessions that require traveling typically take a bit longer. The couple may want to have elaborate sequences and even decide to use props such as boats and farm animals for their photos. Also using a flare in photography has also taken off in the past few years, the options are endless so let us know your ideas.Reason #5: Hair and make-up trial<img class="alignleft wp-image-1118 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-300x169.jpg" alt="wedding photography and videography Melbourne" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-300x169.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-768x432.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/DSC03358.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">This is an opportunity to try out your hair and make-up before your big day to see how you will look in professional photos. Some stylists prefer to keep a trial day for make-up and hair demo, so your pre-wedding photo shoot can be that day when you can try out a style from the wedding.Advise your stylist if you want any adjustments to your make-up and hair to suit the photography style that you would like to have for the event.   Reason #6: Get the exact photos you want<img class="alignright wp-image-764 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-300x200.jpg" alt="pre-wedding photos" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC068930-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">During the wedding day you may not always have the energy to decide what shots you want. After all, this event is yours and you must be happy with the images. With a pre-wedding photo shoot you have the resources to retake the photos over and over again until you are happy with the result. While the pre-wedding photo session will make you feel comfortable and forget the nerves of your event, it also guides the professional photographer to understand what you really like for the big day. From our experience at Flashback Feels, the outcome of pre-wedding photography is usually amazing as you will be happy with the way things turn out.Reason #7: Reception slideshow<img class="alignleft wp-image-533 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-200x300.jpg" alt="pre wedding photography Melbourne" width="168" height="252" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-200x300.jpg 200w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/DSC01887.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px">The photos produced from a pre-wedding shoot can become a main decor of your reception. Often, your guests will be amazed watching the slideshow of your love story with such high-quality images. Dim the lights for ten minutes, play some beautiful music in the background and let the photos splash on the venue screens. If timing permits, pre-wedding photographs can be showcased at your bridal shower as well. With so many photos captured during your pre-wedding photography session, you can also highlight your love story for your engagement party as well.  Reason #8: Invitation and save the date cards<img class="alignright wp-image-1559 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720-212x300.jpg.webp" alt="Wedding Card " width="170" height="241" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720-212x300.jpg.webp 212w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/wedding-979931_960_720.jpg.webp 509w" sizes="(max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px">It is recommended that you have your pre-wedding photo shoot at least two months before your wedding. This will give you sufficient time to put together these photos in your wedding invitation and save the date cards. Choose some of the best shots from the photoshoot to be added as part of your event invitation cards. For digital invitations such as your wedding website where guests can discover more about you and your partner, the date and details of the event all at one place is just perfect to highlight photos of your love story.Reason #9: The Wedding album<img class="alignleft wp-image-548 lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/pexels-photo-948185-200x300.jpeg" alt="wedding photographer Melbourne" width="158" height="238" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/pexels-photo-948185-200x300.jpeg 200w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/pexels-photo-948185.jpeg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 158px) 100vw, 158px">Having pre-wedding photos in your wedding album is an informal way to start the story. If you have hired the same Melbourne pre-wedding photographer for your wedding, you don’t need to send these pictures to add to the final album. During your discussion with the photographer just mention that you would like the album to start off with some of these candid pictures. After all, your love story is incomplete without a glimpse of your beautiful relationship. This also gives a variety of clothes you’re wearing and different locations too.Reason #10: Wall art<img class="alignright wp-image-849 size-medium lazyload" src="/im_/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom-300x180.jpg" alt="wedding photography studios Melbourne" width="300" height="180" srcset="https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom-300x180.jpg 300w, https://via.hypothes.is/https://flashbackfeels.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/bouquet-bride-bride-and-groom.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">Pre-wedding photos often turn out more ‘couply’ as you’re usually dressed in casual clothes. With a wall dedicated to photos of the both of you and mixed with your wedding images can be a whole lot of fun. Colourful prints and canvases from your photoshoot can be displayed in your bedroom and living room. A pre-wedding photo shoot can really tell the story and personality of a couple. These pre-wedding photos are a true testimony of the emotional connection between you and your partner. For your photographer, it is the best way to understand the personality of you and your partner, whether you prefer a posed or candid style of photography. Quite often, you will reminisce your initial chemistry with each other and relieve those romantic sparks during the shoot. With the wedding coming up very soon, you will be occupied with a lot of event planning so this is the perfect chance for you to be yourself and create those moments of togetherness that we can capture perfectly on camera. So, are you interested in a pre-wedding photography shoot Melbourne and looking for an experienced pre-wedding photographer trusted by couples all all around Victoria?

    1. "The replication crisis, if nothing else, has shown that productivity is not intrinsically valuable. Much of what psychology has produced has been shown, empirically, to be a waste of time, effort, and money. As Gibson put it: our gains are puny, our science ill-founded. As a subject, it is hard to see what it has to lose from a period of theoretical confrontation. The ultimate response to the replication crisis will determine whether this bout is postponed or not."

But as developers move away from such libraries in favor of native APIs, dedicated HTTP clients have emerged to fill the gap.

    1. For example, take the character for east , which in the Beijingdialect has the sound “dong” (pronounced “doong,” as in Mao Ze-dong’s name). Since a Chinese character is read aloud as a single syllableand since spoken Chinese is also rather short of sounds (there are onlyabout four hundred different syllables in the whole language), it hasbeen plagued with homophones, words that sound like other words, like“soul” and “sole” or “all” and “awl” in English. It happened that thespoken word meaning “freeze” had the sound “dong.” So did a spokenword meaning a roof beam. When the Chinese went to write down thecharacter for freeze, they took the character for east and put beside itthe symbol of ice , which makes the character (“dong,” to freeze).To write down the word sounding “dong” which meant roof beam, theywrote the character east and put before it the symbol for wood mak-ing (“dong,” a roof beam).These are simple examples. Indeed, any part of the Chinese languageis simple in itself. It becomes difficult because there is so much of it to beremembered, so many meanings and allusions. When the lexicographersof later times wanted to arrange thousands of Chinese characters in adictionary, for instance, the best they could do in the absence of an al-phabet was to work out a list of 214 classifiers or “radicals,” one ofwhich was sure to be in each character in the language. These 214classifiers, for dictionary purposes, correspond to the 26 letters of our al-phabet, but are more ambiguous and less efficient. Shang writing was al-ready using “radicals” like wood, mouth, heart, hand, that indicatedcategories of meaning. From the start the governmental power of theChinese writing system was at the ruler’s disposal. Writing seems to haveemerged more in the service of lineage organization and governmentthan in the service of trade.

Also interesting is the lack of study on the matter of LD in adult literacy, and therefore this study is really "surveying the gaps." Sadly, what we do know is that minority LD students rates for graduation are lower than whites with LD, and that the dropout rates are higher as well. LD students access to AT may be key to understanding the dynamics of graduation and drop out rates in addition to literacy. A proven solution is small group tutoring with AT as it can be empowering and enabling LD students to learn.

    1. In Philadelphia, a small group of transit riders sat down to talk about what sucks about the bus. “What is it about the bus?” the interviewer said, and they were off.“They got to stop at every corner,” one rider said. “That’s going to be an inconvenience if you are trying to get someplace fast.”“They don’t come,” said another. “Like, you will just wait at the corner and they don’t come. And sometimes the bus will come but it will just go right by you, so you have to wait for the next one. It happens way too much for me.”

    1. This article offers insight to technology integration for adults in Arizona. Recognizing the importance of technology in education, Arizona has put together a plan on integration for adult education. Using trends, understanding challenges, devising strategies to meet those challenges now and in the future, and meeting the expectations of how a successful learner is defined are a part of this plan for Arizona. It starts with a vision and three goals for Arizona. From there the goals and trends are implemented in short term, mid term, and long term goals over five plus years. With expecting challenges they are able to address them head on and use innovative practices. 8/10

    1. Peer Dependencies react-hooks-testing-library does not come bundled with a version of react or react-test-renderer to allow you to install the specific version you want to test against.
    1. Some time ago I asked on Reddit: “What’s the consensus among the React community for testing React components?” Shawn Wang replied: “testing is an enormously complicated and nuanced topic on which there isn’t a consensus anywhere in JS, much less in React.” I was not trying to find the best library for testing React. Mainly because there isn’t one.

    1. Conceptualization is the process of specifying observations and measurements that give concepts definite meaning for the purposes of a research study.

      What is conceptualization? The way to give meaning to a concept for the ressearch.

    2. Concepts are constructs; they represent the agreed-on meanings we assign to terms

      Concepts represent agreements

    3. Concepts are mental irnages we use as sumrnary devices for bringing together observations and experiences that seem to have something in corn-mon. We use terms or labels to reference these concepts

      What is a concept? Mental images.

    4. Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement

      Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement: an essencial part of this process involves transforming the relatively vague terms of ordinary language into precise objects of study with wel-defined and measurable meanings

    1. Innovation in Customers' Hands at New 7-Eleven® Lab Store Retailer Celebrates New Sylvan | Thirty Location with March 22 Grand Opening News provided by 7-Eleven, Inc. Mar 27, 2019, 09:30 ET Share this article IRVING, Texas, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Made-to-order smoothies and agua frescas … street tacos on handmade tortillas … a growler refill station pouring local craft beers … baked-in-store cookies and croissants … patio and inside dining areas … The newest 7-Eleven® location is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer's latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. The newest 7-Eleven location in Dallas is a lab store and an experiential testing ground, where customers can try and buy the retailer’s latest innovations in a revolutionary new store format. 7-Eleven, Inc. celebrated the grand opening of its new lab store in Dallas – and the only one in the U.S. – March 22. The store is located at the Sylvan | Thirty retail and restaurant development on Sylvan Avenue, north of Interstate 30. This location is less than two miles from the original Southland Ice House in Oak Cliff where 7-Eleven pioneered the convenience retailing concept more than 90 years ago. "Convenience retailing is light years away from the days of bread and milk being sold from ice docks in 1927, and the industry is changing at a faster rate than ever before," said Chris Tanco, 7-Eleven executive vice president and chief operating officer. "7-Eleven stays at the forefront by pushing the boundaries and being unafraid to try new things. This new lab store will serve as a place to test, learn and iterate new platforms and products to see what really resonates with customers and how we can use those learnings to influence future store designs."The lab store is also the first 7-Eleven location to incorporate the Laredo Taco Company® taqueria, and the first Laredo Taco Company location in Dallas. 7-Eleven acquired the taqueria along with Stripes® convenience stores in South Texas as part of the 1,000-store acquisition from Sunoco in 2018. Laredo Taco Company is famous in South Texas for its handmade tortillas made from scratch in stores every day as well as its popular salsa bar with on-site, daily prepared salsas, guacamole and pico de gallo. Tacos, quesadillas and plate meals include specialties not always seen in quick-serve Tex-Mex restaurants such as carne guisada, barbacoa, picadillo bistec, carnitas and breakfast tacos made with hand-cracked eggs.Some of the other innovative ideas customers will see at the new 7-Eleven lab store include: Made-to-order coffee drinks, cold-pressed juices, smoothies and agua frescas that give customers the option to customize their drinks in a full-service beverage format. Additionally, it carries novelty beverages on tap such as nitro cold brew, kombucha and organic teas. "The Cellar," an alcove dedicated to an expanded selection of wines and craft beers, with a nearby growler station that features a rotating selection of local craft beer, cider and ales on tap. At the growler station, customers can enjoy a draft of their favorite beverage with their meal onsite or fill a growler to take home. A cold treats bar with frozen yogurt, ice cream and multiple toppings Cookies, croissants and more baked-in-store daily Digital initiatives that enhance the shopping experience. Scan & Pay technology that allows customers to skip the checkout line and pay for their (non-age-restricted) purchases on their smartphones. Indoor and patio restaurant-style seating in the Laredo Taco Company portion of the store as well as bar-seating across the front windows in the retail space. Many of the new items in this 7-Eleven "innovation station" are limited-time offerings. "A lot has changed in retail and continues to change rapidly, especially the shopping experience," Tanco said. "This lab store is customer-focused and will explore new ideas that weren't even on the retail radar a few months ago."The new 7-Eleven lab store is also providing local jobs, and the company is looking for outgoing, customer-service-oriented employees for this innovative new retail-restaurant concept.

    1. I'd say that "dump" in the CS sense, both as noun and verb, is merely another application of its preexisting meanings even without the vulgar one, particularly the ones related to unloading/releasing contents. (For example, "dump truck".)
    2. For some geeky reason, the computer programming world has long maintained a tradition of using words in new ways, with a studied obliviousness to their prior, rude meanings: for example, 'dump'. 'Falsey' is merely another word in this long, and quite useful, tradition.
    1. This paper explores how the Internet of Things and blockchain technology can benefit shared economy applications. The focus of this research is understanding how blockchain can be exploited to create decentralised, shared economy applications that allow people to monetise, securely, their things to create more wealth. Shared economy applications such as Airbnb and Uber are well-known applications, but there are many other opportunities to share in the digital economy. With the recent interest in the Internet of Things and blockchain, the opportunity exists to create a myriad of sharing applications, e.g. peer-to-peer automatic payment mechanisms, foreign exchange platforms, digital rights management and cultural heritage to name but a few

      This article sheds light into shared economy, have highlighted just the abstract, but this entire article is so interesting and the application it talks about is great, like how can airbnb or uber use blockchain to protect it's clients privacy. Must read

    1. Try to avoid mucking with native prototypes, including Array.prototype, if you don't know who will be consuming your code (3rd parties, coworkers, yourself at a later date, etc.). There are ways to safely extend prototypes (but not in all browsers) and there are ways to safely consume objects created from extended prototypes, but a better rule of thumb is to follow the Principle of Least Surprise and avoid these practices altogether.
    2. He's not messing with them he's extending them for Arrays.

    1. It is generally agreed that literature surveys and descriptive compilations do not meet the contribution-to-knowledge re-quirement for the dissertation

      What is not accepted.

    2. Positivist versus postpositivist.

      My research is postpositivist

    3. Experimental versus descriptive.

      My research is going to be descriptive.

    4. Quantitative versus qualitative.

      My research is qualitative.

    5. NEW OR IMPROVED ANALYSIS Analysis may be based on existing evidence or include new data.

      Maybe my research leads in this way, but I think is more the previous one.

    6. The evidence may be collected by an experiment, simulation, observations, questionnaire, interviews, or measurements.

      Maybe my research goes in this way: new or improved evidence.

    7. The additive contribution of a dissertation may arise from 1. new or improved evidence; 2. new or improved methodology; 3. new or improved analysis; 4. new or improved concepts or theories.

      Four kind of contributions

    8. The dissertation should be based on a significant question, problem, or hypothesis.

      The power of a good question. That's why we need to learn how and what to ask.

    9. Different approaches to testing of important results. If a researcher has reported interesting results with one research technique and a given research population, a doctoral student may consider replicating the experiment, altering either the research technique or the research population.

      Open science and reproductible science is key here.

    10. Writers of disserta-tions commonly describe further research that needs to be done.

      Work on the results of others.

    11. If there is likely to be a continuing interest, either academically or otherwise on the topic, then a student can continué to maintin scholarly capability in the área and continué to be a significant authority on the subject.

      This is like Bret Victor's Inventing on principle and the question is: what is your principle?

    12. A research project will typicaliy have more than one potential outcome. For example, a research experiment may fail to dis-prove the nuil hypothesis, it may disprove it, or it may be incon-clusive.

      A database of unsuccessful cases is a good thing to have too.

    13. The exploratory investigation, definition of problem, and writing normally take about half of the total time.

      I can use this to measure my time.

    14. If no theory base can be identified, the topic should be rejected

      Theory is mandatory

    15. Observations lead to theory to classify, explain, and predict the observations.

      Sounds like grounded theory, or at least the prediction is something very useful.

    16. Research needed and interesting

      Why my research is needed and interesting?

    17. In reading dissertations, the student should begin to formúlate a general understanding of the structure and scope of a disserta-tion, and the meaning of contribution to knowledge as applied to doctoral dissertations.

      Structure and scope.

    18. The Selection of a Dissertation Topic

      The selection of a dissertation topic

    1. . To summarize: Your aim is to explain 1. what you are writing about —I am working on the topic of... 2. what you don't know about it—because / want tofind out... 3. why you want your reader to know and care about it—m order to help my reader understand better...

      Short and sweet.

    2. add a second indirect question that explains why you asked your first question.

      Here is the so what? in the sentence you are building.

    3. When you add that because I want tofind out how/why/whether clause, you state why you are pursuing your topic: to answer a question important to you.

      Back to the beginning: a question important to you.

    4. because I want to find out who/what/when/where/whether/ why/how .

      This is the flavour: the indirect question.

    5. start by naming your project:

      Put a name to that baby.

    6. SO WHAT?

      Miles Davis was right.

    7. If you are an experienced researcher, look for questions that other researchers ask but don't answer.

      Remember: the idea is to make it interesting. It can lead you where nobody else knows.

    8. How does your topic fit into the context of a larger structure or function as part of a larger system?

      Structure and composition.

    9. Ask about the History of Your Topic

      History of the topic

    10. So the best way to begin working on your focused topic is not to find all the information you can on it, but to formúlate questions that direct you to just that information you need to answer them

      What is my question to find information?

    11. If a writer asks no specific question worth asking, he can offer no specific answer worth supporting.

      The power of the questions.

    12. Caution: Don't narrow your topic so much that you can't find information on it

      Where to stop while you are narrowing.

    13. We narrowed those topics by adding words and phrases, but of a special kind: conflict, description, contribution, and developing. Those nouns are derived from verbs expressing actions or relation-ships: to conflict, to describe, to contribute, and to develop. Lacking such "action" words, your topic is a .static thing.

      Be careful: you need words that describes actions.

    14. A topic is probably too broad if you can state it in four or five words

      How to narrow a topic.

    15. Few experi-enced researchers trust Wikipedia, so under no circumstances cite it as a source of evidence (unless your topic is Wikipedia itself).

      Lucky me! I can cite Wikipedia.

    16. Google your topic,

      Or use DuckDuckGo if you care about your privacy.

    17. Once you have a list of topics, choose the one or two that inter-est you most and explore their research potential. Do this:

      Choose one or two topics.

    18. Start by listing as many interests as you can that you'd like to explore.

      Make a list

    19. But also ask yourself: What interests me about this tapie? What would interest others?

      I should answer this questions.

    20. Some questions raise problems; others do not.

      Question and problems are not the same.

    21. But other questions may intrigue only the researcher:

      Write an interesting question is key.

    22. A subject is a broad área of knowledge (e.g., climate change), while a topic is a specific interest within that área (e.g., the effect of climate change on migratory birds).

      The hierarchy is:

      • Subject
        • Topic
    23. As you begin a research project, you will want to distinguish a topic from a sub-ject.

      There is a difference between topic and subject.

    24. From Topics to Questions

    1. Americans today are some of the unhealthiest people on Earth

      That is correct, due to the high fatty food, lack of exercises,smoking and other related segments make them unhealthy. So the heart related problems are looming. According to the studies America is on the 10th place
