Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications." It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects, or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, etc.
William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955) is an American business magnate, philanthropist, investor, and computer programmer. In 1975, Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft, which became the world's largest PC software company. During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of chairman, CEO and chief software architect, and was the largest individual shareholder until May 2014. Gates has authored and co-authored several books.
Starting in 1987, Gates was included in the Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people and was the wealthiest from 1995 to 2007, again in 2009, and has been since 2014. Between 2009 and 2014, his wealth doubled from US$40 billion to more than US$82 billion. Between 2013 and 2014, his wealth increased by US$15 billion. Gates is currently the richest person in the world.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Gates has been criticized for his business tactics, which have been considered anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by numerous court rulings. Later in his career Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Sucking me inBlowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everybody says you're a heartless cow
I say yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about
Baby you go hot and you go cold
Like I don't know why
Am I standing on your doorstep waiting for another
chance?
Or am I standing at the bar when you ask me for a
dance?
One day you'll come around in pieces and I send you off
together
And I call to check you're OK and I wish I didn't
bother
When you tell me you're too stoned to say why you never
phoned today
Sucking me in
Blowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everbody says you're a heartless cow
I say yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about
You don't hear me when I say you're everything I want
You say Remember Carolina? How you slept upon her chest
that time
When you were learning how to drive, and I was just
trying to stay alive'
Well I should have seen how hard you tried and met you
in the middle
Now you look at me like I'm a stranger, and I feel like
a fool again
Sucking me in
Blowing me out
Don't you know how to get what you want
Everbody says you're a heartless cow
