When a group of 10 Ohio State University students and two resident directors — Maurice Eastridge, Ohio State University professor of dairy nutrition, and his wife, Donna — visited the Netherlands this past summer for a Dairy Industry Study Abroad Program, they saw a lot of livestock on the farms they visited. But surprisingly, they saw plenty more almost everywhere they drove throughout the European country.
Because tourism is a big part of the Dutch tradition and people like to see the animals, Dutch farmers keep their animals out on pasture more than their U.S. counterparts. Right up to the city limits or even in the city, there would be animals out grazing, Maurice Eastridge said.
The students found it fascinating.
"I was very shocked to see sheep and cows grazing nearly along every road as we traveled throughout Holland," said Brooke Barley, a junior human nutrition major from Canton. "Even in places where one would think animals would not normally be, there they were.
"I find this concept so intriguing because by having the animals so visible, it makes the Dutch so much more involved and aware of food production and of the well-being of the animals. Even though it is more difficult for farmers to keep their animals out in the pasture instead of in the barn, they keep them visible because it is such a large part of their culture."
While the Dutch dairy industry has been under restrictions from the European Union (EU) quota system since the early 1980s, the production per farm has continually increased. In the Netherlands, the dairy industry, as of 2009, processed more than 11 million tons of milk per year in 52 plants. Of these 11 million tons of milk processed, more than half was put to use in creating cheese.
Milk produced in the Netherlands is used to make cheese, yogurt, butter and other milk products. Cheese production uses 55% of the milk, butter production 7%, non-skimmed milk powder 9%, condensed milk 6%, and milk and other products the other 34% of total milk produced.
The Dutch don't just produce a lot of milk and dairy products, they consume a lot too. In the European Union, the Netherlands has the second highest consumption of cheese per person and is sixth in milk consumption. Cheese, milk and yogurt are staples.
"They don't have to be reminded to eat three-a-day of dairy, like we do in the United States, they just automatically do it," said Sarah Finney, a sophomore animal sciences major from Marshallville.
Finney can understand why, because she really enjoyed the Dutch dairy products.
"It was like real butter. It was fantastic," she said. "And the yogurt was real smooth. I'm not usually a yogurt person, but it was really good."
The strong dairy industry and its social relevance is why the Netherlands was chosen for the study abroad program this time and in the inaugural trip made in 2007. The first trip focused more on the prevalence and impact of Dutch dairy producers moving to the United States, Ohio in particular, but this trip was geared more toward the industry and cultural aspect, Eastridge said.
"We developed this program with the idea of doing it at least every four years, so students could do it while they were here at Ohio State at some point," he said. We're still researching where we'll go next time, probably in 2013 or 2014 — maybe China."
Students earn five OSU credit hours for participating in the program. They took a one-hour course in the spring, which met for an hour each week of the quarter and talked about different aspects of the Netherlands compared to the United States, and Dutch dairy farms in the United States. They also visited a dairy farm. They then received four credit hours for the trip itself, June 13-25, which could be applied as electives in animal sciences, international studies or some other area, depending on what the students worked out with their advisors. The group visited six private dairy farms, two research farms, a sheep dairy and a goat dairy while in Holland and saw farms with various degrees of automation, a manure digester, robotic milking units, automated calf feeders, automated bedding dispensers, as well as an organic operation.

Scientific Name
Costus barbatus Suess.
Common Names
Spiral Ginger, Red Tower Ginger, Red Velvet Ginger
Scientific Classification
Family: Costaceae
Genus: Costus
Color: Red and yellow
Bloom Time: Summer
Costus barbatus is a perennial plant with a red inflorescence. The long, red inflorescences are complimented with edible, bright yellow, tubular flowers. It has dark green and fuzzy underneath, ginger-like, elliptic leaves that spiral up the slender cane-like stems to a height of 7.9 feet (2.4 m).
USDA hardiness zone 9a to 11b: from 20 °F (−6.7 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
How to Grow and Care
Costus fall into the tropical category, so if you do well with philodendrons and other tropical plants, you should be able to grow Costus without too much issue. They aren't terribly picky about their light, but the key to successful growth is lots of water and lots of fertilizer to keep up with their heavy demands. If your plant starts to suffer from brown leaf margins, it most likely is being underwatered or exposed to cold drafts. Try to raise the humidity and increase the water. Costus are susceptible to mealybugs and aphids. Keep a careful eye on your plants and inspect them to catch infestations early and treat them immediately. Severely infected plants should be discarded.
Depending on the species, you'll probably need to repot your Costus annually, in the beginning of the growing season. If you want to keep it a manageable size, use this as an opportunity to divide the rhizome and refresh your potting soil, but keep it in the same size pot. Some of the larger species can grow to 10 feet (3 m) or more, so be aware of the potential size issue… – See more at: How to Grow and Care for Costus

text: Houthis rebels detain intelligence officers الأثنين 11 نوفمبر 2019 08:51 م الصحوة نت - خاص Alsahwa Net- The Houthis' leader, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi instructed arrest of a number of the Political Security officers, state intelligence workers following breakout of the ongoing popular protests in Lebanon and Iraq, sources in Sana'a said. The Houthis rebels who took over the capital Sana'a in late September 2014, fear similar Lebanese and Iraqi protests may erupt in Yemen against their rule. Around 26 security officers were arrested in the past two days in Sana'a. Chief of the Military Moral Department, brigadier general, Ali Al-Shahethi is among the recently detained intelligence officers, the sources said. The detained officers were placed in a private prison of the Political Security Bureau and were accused of treason, according to sources quoted by the Saudi state-run Okaz Daily Newspaper. Some members of the Central Security Forces were also detained along the intelligence workers and were charged of the same accusation. The same sources indicated that other hundreds of the intelligence service workers and the security members are in captivity for their rejection to attend Houthis-organized religious training courses as well as their objection to the militants' management of the state institutions. The sources said that the detainees are vulnerable to psychological and physical torture. لمتابعة كل جديد أولاً بأول.. سُعداء بمتابعة قناتنا على التيليجرام

Proposed measures would see trauma care cut at several hospitals
A number of hospitals across the country are expected to stop providing trauma care.
Proposed new measures would see local trauma units responsible for treating less serious injuries and two new designated units for major trauma patients.
The report recommends a new centralisation strategy which would create two major trauma units.
The units will be based in Dublin and Cork.
The measures would mean patients who have been in car crashes or had serious injuries, broken limbs and major wounds will be no longer be treated at some hospitals.
The Sunday Business Post reports that three Dublin hospitals and a number of regional hospitals including Cavan, Naas and Portlaoise will stop taking trauma patients.
This new move by Health Minister Simon Harris aims to reduce the numbers in our emergency departments.
A proposal will be brought over the coming weeks.

Tuning in to Mexican tradition
September 12, 2003
Just because Sept. 16 celebrates Mexico's Independence Day doesn't mean everyone can't celebrate.
A huge community celebration is just what KGRE 1450 AM is trying to give Greeley and Weld County residents. With more than 20 area, national and international bands, the station hopes to ring in the county's independence with a party.
Mexican Independence Day, Sept. 16, will be celebrated by KGRE on Saturday and Sunday at Island Grove Regional Park, 14th Avenue and A Street. The celebration is free. Along with bands will be food booths, traditional Mexican folk dancers and a car show.
"It is more of an entertaining type of festival," said Ken Nuanez, who has a Tejano program on KGRE. "The Hispanic community and rest of the community should come out and see our heritage."
The event happens the weekend before Sept. 16 so more residents can enjoy it, Nuanez said.
Gloria Cunningham, marketing consultant for KGRE, said the bands make this event special.
Recommended Stories For You
For most of Saturday and the first part of the day Sunday, there will
be a battle of the bands. Most bands are from northern Colorado and play Norteno music, a type of music typical to northern Mexico.
Audience members will have the chance to vote for their favorite band by putting money in their box on stage. At the end of the event, the band with the most money wins. Cunningham said part of the money will go to the band and part of it will be saved for KGRE's Christmas giveaway.
On Sunday, starting about 1 p.m., KGRE will host four national and international bands. KGRE's owner, Ricardo Salazar, scouted out bands from Los Angeles, Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico.
"It will just be two days of fun for the whole family," Cunningham said.
The Weld County Library District at the Lincoln Park Branch, 919 7th St., will also host a mariachi band, Los Pumas, on Saturday. The band will be celebrating Mexican Independence Day and Hispanic Heritage Month, which lasts through mid-October.

"As you can see, the sea level has risen; the coconut trees are swaying dangerously. We are getting reports (verified or unverified, only God knows) from various sources (who are the sources?) that the road connection to Gopalpur is snapped. Huge areas are deluded by the landfall due to Titli". Barked the ABP Ananda reporter. Frustrated, I switched off the TV. Only 3 days were left for our road trip to Gopalpur and the storm everyone named as "Titli" was creating havoc everyone; and risking our plans to visit Gopalpur on Sea.
Gopalpur on Sea – The journey
"Durga Durga" my wife made a small prayer, before we started our journey to Gopalpur on Sea.
The last 3 days had been full of hectic phone calls to friends, relatives, and hotels in Odisha to know about the ground realities. Bengali news channels are notoriously famous for over-dramatization of events, so their reporting should be taken with a pinch of salt.
After a brief snack at Express Food Plaza, Kolaghat; I took over the wheels of Ford from Arka. We crossed Bengal (or Banga as Didi has rechristened it now) at 10:00 am; and the car picked up steam in the empty highways of Odisha. One marked difference in Odisha was the absence of Civic volunteer (holud bahini or the yellow brigade, as I call them due to their yellow uniform) and CCTV cameras. Also, we found no roads to be blocked or flooded as we inched towards Gopalpur.
We had a brief stop at Mangalajodi. Although it was not a "migratory bird season", we could see a few species of the winged creatures (Priya, Arka's wife helped us in the identification) and a few migratory human beings (foreigners!).
We reached Gopalpur at 6:30 pm. The last leg of the journey was through the Eastern Ghats Mountains with the Chilka Lake by the side–the whole scene being more mystic in the dusk of the setting sun.
The Disappointment
Gopalpur disappointed us a bit (a better expression would be – it didn't meet our expectations). Yes, there was a sea, a small yellow sand beach, the waters of the sea touching the base of the hotel in high tide, a balcony to appreciate the sea and count the tides; but the spark was missing. Maybe the hectic life we lead has made the body crave for continuous adrenaline burst.
Eat, watch movies and sleep; that's what we did all 3days. And believe me, we loved it very much; so much that we were a bit disappointed when we bid adieu to Gopalpur on Sea.
- Gopalpur on sea can be reached by car or by train to Behrampur
- Stay at Sea Pearl Hotel (good location, value for money but bad service); or Mayfair Hotel (if you have excess money to throw away)
- Do – Nothing.
- Season – Visit in winter (summers can be very hot, and A/C may not work)
If you have any questions on visiting Gopalpur, please feel free to ask in the comments section below; or at our Community Forum and I will be glad to answer. In short, it is a good place to visit if you want to get away from your regular life for a few days and spend some time in peace. Do not however go expecting something too great.

5 Greatest Myths about Sunscreen
If you don't quite understand how sunscreen works, your health could suffer the consequences.
Exposing yourself to strong sunlight without protection puts you at risk for sunburn, becoming wrinkled before time, and finally and most scary – developing skin cancer – which is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S.
For that reason we have uncovered the greatest sunscreen myths in order for your skin and overall health not to be affected by sun exposure.
Myth #1 – You don't need sunscreen.
Some people think that, if they go to the beach and spend their time in the shade, they don't need sunscreen because they are not directly exposed.
Even in the shade or during a cloudy summer day, sunlight gets to your skin and you can get sunburn if you don't put sunscreen.
Dermatologist Jennifer Stein, MD, Ph.D. from the University Langone Medical Center in New York claims that even if your skin is naturally dark, you still need sunscreen to protect you from the UVA and UVB rays. Even though with darker skin you are less likely to get sunburn, your skin can still be affected in other ways.
Stein also claims that tanning before a vacation with the purpose of not burning on vacation isn't really worth your while and it will not protect you from getting burned. Tanning in a tanning bed protects you less than getting tanned the natural way and it damages your skin even more.
Myth #2 – All sunscreens are the same.
This is very wrong. Sunscreens can differ in various ways, from the protective factor to whether they are waterproof or not, and to how they hydrate your skin.
For example, some sunscreens contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to protect you from UVA and UVB rays, while some use other chemicals such as Helioplex, Meroxyl SX and avobenzone.
Stein argues that sunscreens based on Helioplex and Meroxyl SX protect you better and break down more slowly so they protect you longer as well. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests always buying sunscreen with a SP factor of 30 or higher, so you would be well protected against UVA and UVB light.
Myth #3 – It is enough to put sunscreen once a day.
To be protected from sunrays you need to apply sunscreen every 2-3 hours, because it gets washed away (by water if you swim, or by sweat). Also, don't put sunscreen sparingly, but generously if you want to be well protected. Some sunscreens are waterproof but not too much, and if you swim for a while a good part of it will get washed away. Moreover, the FDA says that the labels "waterproof" and "sweatproof" don't have to mean that these sunscreens really are exactly that.
Myth #4 – Putting sunscreen on your arms, legs, back, and face is enough.
Yes, these are the most important areas which you should definitely not miss, but there are parts of your body that are also sensitive to sunlight and need to be protected.
For example, the ears and the back of the neck. Stein says that those areas are often neglected, but sunburns can occur there too, so you need to be more careful.
Also, you need to protect your lips, and the American Academy of Dermatology suggests using a lip balm with a SPF of no less than 30.
Myth #5 – You can use last year's sunscreen.
This has something to do with being generous with sunscreen. Stein argues that if you were putting enough sunscreen last year, you will not have any left for this year. But also, the expiration date could have passed, as some sunscreens have short expiration dates and spoil quite easily, so make sure you've checked that.
In any case, it is best to buy a new sunscreen each year and always give yourself the best protection possible.

"As a small company founded 5 years ago, it is rare to meet with the top leaders of global-level companies. However, following from Daliworks' domestic successes in the domestic IIOT market, we were able to accompany President Moon Jae-in's formal visit to the United States in late June as a member of the official Korean business delegation. We took part as a representative of the emerging cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) platform service industry. The delegation also provided us a chance to create significant outcomes through a dozen business meetings with business leaders from the US" said Lee Soonho, CEO of Daliworks, Inc.
During his stay in the United States, CEO Lee Soonho concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Freewave Technologies, a global leader in the modern Industrial Internet of Things market, for technological collaboration and expansion of global business at a business partnering event hosted by Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) in Washington, D.C.
Under the MOU, Freewave Technologies will integrate its industrial IoT hardware with 'Thing+', the cloud-based IoT platform created by Daliworks and a core technology for the 4th industrial revolution, to create cloud-based smart factory business opportunities in the global market, including North America, together.
The collaboration between the two companies aims at monitoring conditions and the operation of production facilities in real time via the cloud to optimize and improve manufacturing processes. Daliworks' IoT platform will also enable customers, using Freewaves' industry leading hardware, to predict and analyze glitches in equipment and take action in advance by analyzing vibration, sound and electrical signal data.
"As it provides a flexible system structure that can be readily applied to diverse industrial IoT areas, 'Thing+' of Daliworks can be easily used for expanding business together with Freewave, and customers are highly satisfied the results in terms of ROI and the system itself," said Scott Allen, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Freewave Technologies, after signing the MOU.
In addition to Freewave Technologies, Daliworks had meetings with several other U.S.-based companies in the defense and oil refinery industries towards building new partnership relations.
Daliworks' business is focused mainly on providing 'Thing+', a highly secure and scalable cloud-based IoT platform service, through their R&D team based out of South Korea with core competencies in cloud technology, embedded technology and big data analysis and prediction. It provides IoT services to many global enterprises, while providing various subscription services and licensing models for medium and small-sized companies that do not need proprietary solutions.
In conjunction with Dell EMC, Daliworks is offering competitive services in diverse industrial IoT areas by connecting its 'Thing+' platform with Dell EMC's new 3000 series Edge Gateway equipment. And, based on a recent partnership with ARM, Daliworks is also providing IoT service linked to ARM's 'mbed' cloud and numerous 'mbed'-based IoT devices. Other customers or partners of Daliworks include global names such as Cisco, Qualcomm, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and SK Telecom.
Meanwhile, Daliworks concluded an MOU with CDG Group, the largest IT service provider in Thailand, in June and it took part in the 'IT Road Show' held in Istanbul, Turkey in July hosted by Korea's Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
"From the outset, we have been seeking to build relations with global companies that can help us reach multiple global markets. I expect my latest visit to the United States will help our keep up our momentum expanding into the global market," said CEO Lee Soonho.

Buoyed by the massive participation of people in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally, the BJP today expressed confidence that the party will form the next government in Jammu and Kashmir.
PM Modi addressed the rally at Vijaypur along Jammu-Pathankot highway in Samba district on Sunday after laying foundation stones of various projects, including the much-awaited AIIMS.
"The jam-packed ground has changed the political scenario of Jammu and Kashmir and has laid the strong foundation for clean sweep of the BJP in the forthcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly elections," state BJP president Ravinder Raina told reporters.
He said, "The script for parliamentary and assembly elections has been written and all those who participated in the rally have entered their name in the making of history."
"Soon, this mood will be evident in the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), when the BJP will again form the government at the Centre besides J&K on its own strength," Mr Raina claimed.
He said the participation of the people in the rally has shown that they have chosen PM Modi and his decisive policies while utterly rejecting the "divisive policies" of the Congress and other parties.
"For this grand reception, massive turn out and display of love, we feel indebted to the people and thank the residents of Jammu. This was historic and biggest rally in the region till date," Mr Raina said.
Lauding the efforts of the BJP workers for the success of the rally, he said it would also prove to be a "booster dose" for them ahead of the upcoming polls.
"We are sure that the BJP will get greater support from public in the coming days as was evident from the enthusiasm and mood of the masses in the rally," he said.

With the purchase of any variety bag (226g or 340g) of Starbucks coffee from your local grocery store, coffee addicts can now get a FREE Starbucks tall brew coffee by printing out the coupon from Starbucks.ca. It ends June 15, 2012, which means that you have until this date to go to a Canadian Starbucks coffee shop to surrender your original grocery receipt (obviously quite important to prove you bought the coffee) and the coupon to get a Free Tall (354ml) brewed coffee.
Starbucks has over 40 years of roasting excellence representing a global roster of blends and some of the world's finest fresh roasted whole coffee beans. I guess they are running this promotion because they are now responsible for the logistics of their coffee to supermarkets whereas before there was an (unnamed) company Starbucks got into bed with years ago that took a big portion of their profits and controlled where and how much coffee was sold, luckily for them they are now out of that deal and they are celebrating with us coffee fans (this is my own personal opinion).

When I turned 12 I had a really cool bishop. During interviews he would basically say "I don't want to know what you did just don't do it again". He was awesome. Then when I turned 16 they released the cool bishop and put in a bishop that was the complete opposite. This guy wanted to know everything. Even the stuff that had been "taken care of" with the previous bishop.
I was a pretty regular, normal teenager in that I had been fairly active sexually. I almost always had a girlfriend and we did normal teenager stuff but I was still a virgin. I felt pretty guilty about this stuff and decided I needed to confess to the bishop so I could go on a mission. He wanted to know every dirty little detail. He asked me questions like whether I had used my fingers on my girlfriends and if so how many fingers were used? Did they like it? Did I like it? Did either of us orgasm? How many times did this happen? He asked about oral sex in a very detailed way. What were their names, phone numbers and where did they live? I figure he wanted to tell their bishops but fortunately for me none of them were LDS. He wanted to know everything. He asked so many invasive questions it's almost unbelievable to think about now.
Anyway I basically came out of that interview feeling like the worst human alive. It messed me up for a long time even after I was married in the temple. I was afraid of sex in many ways because I had been taught that it was so sinful in my youth.

Creativity is one of the most desirable traits of people starting and doing a business. It is indicated as one of the key soft skills that characterize a successful entrepreneur. Each of us has a certain amount of creativity that can be developed. However, with age and the acquisition of new social roles, we often block our creative thinking fearing to take a risk. As Pablo Picasso said, "Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up"…
Creativity is highly important for startups:
- to spot unsolved and important problems and to create, develop, invent new ways of solving a problem,
- startups don't have huge budget for marketing, hiring, development, so startup founders must be creative with resources,
- startups often introduce new things to market, that's why you need to be creative in order to explain new stuff in easy to follow and understand way.
By reading this chapter you will understand what creativity really is, what is the role of creativity in business development, what limits it, and how to develop your creativity. At the end of the chapter you will get acquainted with selected techniques that allow you to solve specific problems in a creative way.
1. Know how creativity helps in business development
Creativity is defined as an attitude or a process that involves the emergence of new ideas, concepts, or associations or connections with existing ideas. Creative thinking leads to innovative and original solutions in various spheres of life. It is a mix of intellectual competences, creative talents, personality traits and the broadly understood socio-cultural and economic environment. In business practice, creative competences mean the ability to constantly learn new values and solutions as well as new ways of acquiring and transferring knowledge.
Among the characteristics of creative people there are: flexibility (going beyond obvious things), ability to create many ideas about a given problem, meticulousness, efficient dealing with conflict situations, ability to perceive the whole situation, inquisitiveness, perception and understanding of others' needs, independence of thinking, orientation for action, regularity of work, engagement. According to D. Nawrat (2013), the creative competencies of entrepreneurs include, among others:
- the ability to generate a large number of ideas in a short time,
- constant search for new solutions,
- originality – creating innovative connections and ideas,
- the ability to choose the optimal solution,
- perseverance in overcoming difficulties,
- motivation as a problem and a challenge,
- vigor and efficiency,
- consistency, regularity, courage,
- tolerance and respect for different views,
- avoiding premature evaluation of ideas,
- openness to criticism,
- a relativistic view of reality,
- independence of thinking.
Creative thinking is a feature that makes it easier for entrepreneurs to analyze market changes and make appropriate decisions more adequately to the situation. Thanks to it, not only the entrepreneur himself but the whole company develops. In addition, creative thinking allows you to quickly and flexibly analyze the situation inside and outside the company. When, in turn, unexpected troubles appear – thanks to creativity, you can find the original solution. Creativity is an opportunity to create such an offer of products or services that nobody has yet invented. Creative thinking leads to business success through:
- creating new ideas for competitive advantage – doing business is a continuous creation of new ideas. These ideas do not only concern the idea of a product or service, but also the process of their marketing, development of marketing strategy, finding sources of financing, etc. Thanks to creative ideas, your business idea becomes more competitive,
- thinking of novel ways to develop your product and improve the business – creativity helps in introducing product or service innovation and in matters related to the organization of the startup's operation. Remember that you can always improve something more, change it, develop,
- thinking the unthinkable – creativity is the use of imagination to formulate sometimes seemingly unreal ideas. It's about going beyond the boundaries of standard thinking, "thinking outside the box." Thanks to creativity, entrepreneurs can go beyond traditional solutions,
- finding similar patterns in different areas – very often due to routine or habit, the thinking process proceeds according to established processes and norms. Creativity allows people to connect different and unrelated objects, and thus creates original business ideas. Combining different fields creates an interesting mix that allows you to identify market niches. Most people are afraid of joining different disciplines, but the most interesting ideas are created at their borders,
- developing new market niches – thanks to creative thinking, new aspects of traditional business can be developed, such as changing the way of producing a product or providing a service, which in turn creates an interesting niche market.
Creativity and entrepreneurship are closely related to each other to the extent that it is difficult to set boundaries between them. It is worth emphasising that a creative attitude is equally important at the stage of developing a business idea, as well as implementing it to practice.
2. Follow the process of creative thinking
Faced with the need to solve any problem related to your business practice, try to approach this situation through the prism of the stages of the creative thought process. The process of creating interesting solutions is dynamic. There are many aspects of the approach and stages of the looking for creative solutions. Some information about the process is given in table 1:
|Steps of creative process
|Step 1: Preparation
|In this step you have to identify a problem and then research for related information. You should look in every direction to solve the problem, be it inside the industry or outside.
|Step 2: Thinking outside the box – going beyond the comfort zone
|You have to leave the comfortable arena, go beyond and take a risk.
|Step 3: Creativity isn't magic
|Creativity is not a magic. It is approaching things with a different perspective. The simplest approach to creative thinking can be copying different elements, transforming them, and combining them.
|Step 4: Incubation
|In this step you develop ideas which have the potential to solve the problem. This stage is characterized by the unconscious process of mental improvement of ideas. The overall goal of this step is to find a solution.
|Step 5: Illumination
|This step leads to clarity of ideas. This is the "solution finding" stage. Now the creativity process leads to the knowledge of some practical ideas that can be put to work.
|Step 6: Verification
|This stage determines whether the "found" solution has the potential to work or not. The idea can be: accepted, modified with minor or major changes, or rejected altogether, requiring that the whole process be done again.
|Step 7: Critical thinking
|In this step you have to critically examine the viability of an idea. Critical thinking enables you to self-judge in order to evaluate the idea. This step is defined as a self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored and self-corrective process of evaluating an idea.
Table 1. Steps of creative thinking process. Source
Creative thinking includes 7 steps. It starts with defining the problem that we want to solve. The next step involves the need to "leave the box", the so-called comfort zone in which we are stuck for various reasons, mainly comfort and lack of time. Then we analyze our problem from different perspectives. Remember that we do not always have to look for a revolutionary solution. Creative thinking is also the transformation of existing objects, refinement of them by copying solutions existing in other spheres. The next step is called incubation and includes identification of many different ideas that will allow us to solve the problem. In the next stage of the creative process, we choose one solution and determine how it can be implemented in practice. An extremely important aspect of creative thinking is the verification of the idea, which follows by sharing with it other members of the team, experts in a given field. At this stage, it is determined whether a given idea can be accepted, rejected or modified. The final step is a critical assessment of the chosen solution, which usually comes down to a personal, personal self-assessment.
3. Train your creativity and avoid barriers
Remember that creativity is not a skill exclusive to people in traditionally creative professions. Many psychologists argue that creativity can be trained. Already in childhood, we have heard that creativity and imagination can be developed through reading books, watching movies, playing instruments. In fact, it applies to people of all ages. In addition, physical exercises will help in the development of creativity. An important role is also played by traveling and the associated learning about new cultures, traditions, people, learning about the unknown.
In addition, remember that creativity likes: courage in transgression of stereotypes and comfortable habits, sense of humor, as well as positive thinking. Therefore, assuming that creativity is not a congenital feature, it is worth looking at how you can learn it. James Oliver-Roche (2017) provides some great practical advices on developing creativity (table 2).
|become familiar with the creative process
|To succeed as a creative professional, you need to know the stages of the process of creative thinking. It is a process aimed at developing a concept for improving something. It starts with pointing out divergent ideas and moves towards a common solution. It is worth remembering which stages it consists of (see table 1)
|develop creative routines and habits
|Try to give up hardened habits and thought patterns, and develop new hobbies and interests. Thanks to this you will gain a new fresh look, expand your knowledge and generate insights. These new habits will expand your potential "range of ideas".
|embrace diversity
|The search for diversity is one of the most valuable things for people working on their creativity. You cannot just do the same every day, because it limits your potential. You need to create space for new ideas and connections around yourself, look for a hobby that is not related to their profession. Remember that fresh insights often come from interacting with different people. Contact with them gives you a wider perspective. Spend time in various places and gain new experiences. It will allow you to change the way you think. You need different ideas, different people, different activities and different places.
|kill the noise
|Much of the day is spent for each of us on "noise", i.e. activities that are not critical to what we are trying to achieve. The noise comes in many forms, from answering "urgent" e-mails, to attracting to irrelevant meetings and constantly dealing with notifications in social media on your phone. In order for your creativity to appear, you must kill as many sources of noise as possible in your life.
Table 2. Methods of developing your creativity. Source
Creative thinking is effective only when you are aware of barriers that can reduce creativity. There are many obstacles to creativity. These are barriers: emotional, social, cultural, as well as personality, like self-doubt and lack of self-confidence.
Generally, creativity barriers can be divided into two groups:
- personal factors (which you can find in yourself), such as eg shyness, conformism, lack of openness, fear of criticism, low self-esteem, state of mind / body (for event experiencing negative stress),
- organizational factors, such as lack of flexibility in the organizational structure, unfavorable organizational culture, hierarchical management style in the team.
Other factors that limit creative behavior include: stress, restrictive routines, beliefs, fear, self-criticism and functional fixity (which refers to the cognitive inability to look passed the designated function of an object or idea; it is a strong cognitive bias that prevents people from seeing something beyond the initial or designated function of an item, term, or concept).
Obstacles to creativity also include: the need to quickly get results, the existence of rigid rules and barrier legal and administrative, which often prevent us from dealing with the problem; collecting the necessary information. In order to cross these barriers, you should think outside the box and discover areas and directions that have not been explored so far.
4. Use techniques supporting creative thinking
To practice your creativity while solving business problems, you can use a variety of techniques to support creative thinking, such as brainstorming, mind mapping (introduced in topic: Decision Making and Problem Solving), Scamper technique or Edward de Bono method of 6 hats. You can use these techniques in team work as well as in solving problems.
Scamper technique
SCAMPER is a modification of the classic brainstorming set in a slightly stiffer framework. The starting point of this technique is not to invent something completely new, but to try to transform an existing thing and look for innovation thanks to such changes.
The first step is to define the problem you want to work on. Are you looking for an idea for a new product? Do you want to improve it? Are you looking for ways to promote it? Put a specific goal in front of you. Next, try to modify and transform the subject in seven different ways:
- S-ubstitute – replace some part of the problem with something else,
- C-ombine – combine the thing you analyze with others,
- A-dapt – copy existing ideas to your problem,
- M-odify – change, e.g. size, shape, scale, colors, etc.,
- P-ut is another use – change the ways of using the discussed thing or problem or completely modify the target group,
- E-liminate – take away something, delete some parts, so you can develop completely new ideas,
- R-everse – reverse the analyzed situation upside down, change the order, layout, arrangement.
The first letters of each stage form the word SCAMPER, from which the name of this method originated. It was developed by Bob Eberle in the 1970s, but it is Alex Osborn, the legend of the world of advertising. He put many auxiliary questions to each of the stages, which made his use easier (figure 2).
Figure 1. Stages Scamper technique and auxiliary questions to facilitate its use. Source
The method of 6 hats Edward de Bono
This techniques was developed by Edward de Bono in the early 80s. It is now used by businesses all over the world. They involve putting on a selection of metaphorical hats when it comes to making a decision. Each hat represents a different direction of thinking. You and your team members can learn how to separate thinking into six clear functions and roles. Each thinking role is identified with a colored symbolic "thinking hat." By mentally wearing and switching "hats," you can easily focus or redirect thoughts, the conversation, or the meeting.
|The White Hat calls for information known or needed. "The facts, just the facts."
|The Yellow Hat symbolizes brightness and optimism. Under this hat you explore the positives and probe for value and benefit.
|The Black Hat is judgment – the devil's advocate or why something may not work. Spot the difficulties and dangers; where things might go wrong. Probably the most powerful and useful of the Hats but a problem if overused.
|The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates.
|The Green Hat focuses on creativity; the possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas. It's an opportunity to express new concepts and new perceptions.
|The Blue Hat is used to manage the thinking process. It's the control mechanism that ensures the Six Thinking Hats guidelines are observed.
Figure 2. Six hats - six perspectives for problem analysis. Source
This method can be used in a group or on your own, and you may find yourself 'wearing' more than one hat at once. Let you think and decide on topics in a rational yet creative style.
For example, you are introducing a new product to the market, and so you are doing specific activities to estimate the market and demand, these are real sizes that is one of the hats responsible for the facts. Then you approach the problem from the side of the emotions that arouses the product in potential customers, but also for example in the competition. By adopting a pessimistic attitude, you need to set up a failure option, for example: that your product will not be accepted and no one will buy it. The optimistic approach consists in the fact that you assume success in advance. Approach from the side of the possibilities, that is, you assume that your new product will revolutionize the market, delight consumers and awaken a new trend, and as a pioneer you will be able to constantly develop it. We are left with the last organizational aspect, or how to connect all these aspects. And what now? Come to each of the hats creative, point out solutions to the problems mentioned.
Design thinking as a method of creative problem solving useful for startup
How to create innovative products? And not only in terms of its appearance or usability, but also the strategy of operation, its development, improvement of processes and methods of operation. The solution is the design thinking methodology, which is based on a workshop with the use of creative techniques. Design thinking is a method of creative problem solving that can be learned.
Design thinking is such a universal method that it can be used not only for the design of new products, but also for example searching for innovative solutions for a given situation. In this way, it is possible to solve complicated problems. Design thinking provides a fresh perspective on the given situation, so you can rediscover the problem and get closer to finding the right solution. The project process is open, which means that even people who have different professional experience can be involved in it. Thanks to this, you can look at the problem from different points of view.
This method includes 5 stages, but it should be remembered that it is not a linear activity. By implementing each stage, you can return to the previous one at any time.
Figure 2. Stages of design thinking process
The design thinking process begins with the analysis and understanding of the problems of potential recipients of our idea through conversation and observation of their behavior. Based on the analysis of recipients' opinions and behavior, we define a clear direction in which to go looking for solutions to our problem. The next step is to look for these solutions. Inventing and creating great ideas that are intended to meet the needs that have been previously identified. The fourth stage is prototyping. From among our ideas, we select and create preliminary versions of solutions. The last step is testing. We show our solution to the user, check how it works in practice and depending on the situation, we go back to the previous stage or released the final product on the market.
After reading this topic you already know: what is creativity, what is its role in business development, what limits it, how to develop your skill of creativity, how the process of creative thinking looks like, how you can develop your creativity. You are also familiar with few techniques that allow you to solve specific problems in a creative way.
Remember that the most important thing is to look for the least obvious solutions to problems, break away from the constraints, stiff rules and go beyond the typical box-based pattern of action and thinking. If you want to succeed, you must be able to combine your business idea with creativity. Creativity allows you to better plan and improve your business ideas.

Manchester United have attempted to re-open talks with Inter Milan over a transfer move for Croatian winger Ivan Perisic, though the club are not interested.
Inter had been keen to take Anthony Martial on loan from United, but the response from the Red Devils was that that would have to involve Perisic moving in the opposite direction.

And according to the Daily Mirror, the Serie A giants were not at all keen on such a proposal as they urgently need to keep their best players together to mount a realistic title challenge in Italy this season.
The report states Perisic remains Jose Mourinho's priority to replace Martial, but an exchange currently looks unlikely.
Some fans may be relieved to hear that, however, with Martial a big favourite among the Old Trafford faithful, and with Perisic being an older player unlikely to have as long left at the highest level.
That said, the 29-year-old's experience could prove beneficial to this MUFC squad that is slightly lacking in seasoned winners.

How often do you actually need to visit the dentist? We know the office isn't most patients' favorite place, and we want to help you get onto the exam schedule that makes the most sense. While there is an official recommendation for how often the "average" patients should visit, we'd love to give you more information so that you can engage with your case.
If you typically visit twice yearly, it might be time to change that. We've put together more information on different recommended exam schedules below. If it has been more than six months since you last visited, now is a great time to schedule your next appointment!
Figuring Out Your Perfect Exam Schedule
For High Risk Patients – More than 2x a Year
How can you tell if you fall into this category? It really comes down to your risk of gum disease or tooth decay. There are key lifestyle factors that help give you an idea of whether you might benefit from more frequent exams – and they're different for cavities and periodontal disease.
You might be more likely to develop tooth decay if you have –
- Significant plaque buildup – Ask your hygienist about your plaque control at your next exam and they'll point out spots that have buildup
- Dry mouth – If you don't produce enough saliva, your mouth becomes a dangerous environment and enamel erosion is more likely
- Certain prescription medications or conditions – Many medications cause dry mouth
- A tendency to snack frequently – Eating often puts your teeth at risk from acidic, sugary or starchy foods
- Certain appliances – If you're undergoing Invisalign treatment or wear a night guard, saliva can be restricted from flowing over your teeth and protecting them from acids
- Certain irregularities in your teeth – Deep fissures in molars have a tendency to harbor bacteria
- An eating disorder – Eating disorders inhibit the immune system and expose the teeth to harmful acids
You may be more likely to develop gum disease if you are –
- A tobacco user – Smoking or chewing tobacco is harmful to the teeth and gums and is a significant risk factor for gum disease
- Over the age of 65 – Risk of gum disease rises sharply as you age
- Genetically predisposed – Check with your family members to see if they have had problems with gum disease
- Struggling with stress or anxiety
- Taking certain medications (including those that cause dry mouth)
- A bruxer – Patients who clench or grind their teeth chronically can experience gum recession and other problems
- Diabetic – There is a connection between gum disease and diabetes, as well as other systemic health problems.
If any of the above factors apply, it's wise to visit the dentist more often. Check with your provider at your next exam about how often you should schedule exams. If you have problems with ongoing periodontal disease that returns after treatment, you will need to visit more frequently so that your dentist can provide ongoing maintenance. Preventing disease is always more straightforward than treating existing periodontitis.
For Pregnant Women – Several Times During Pregnancy
If you're pregnant, you are more likely to develop gingivitis, due to rapidly fluctuating hormones. Take special care to brush and floss your teeth carefully and thoroughly – and check in with your dentist as soon as you are aware of your pregnancy. They will help you take the right steps throughout this exciting time to help protect both your own health and your baby's developing teeth.
Gum disease during pregnancy may be linked to delivery complications and premature birth. Infants are also more likely to develop cavities if their mothers have cavities. Avoid all this with frequent dental checkups during your pregnancy and after you give birth.
For Seniors – Whatever Your Dentist Recommends
Seniors have unique oral health risks, and can be more likely to develop cavities and gum disease. A large part of this is due to the likelihood of dry mouth, which prompts other dental problems. Individuals with arthritis or other mobility concerns also find it tough to brush and floss thoroughly. If you have dry mouth, are struggling to clean your teeth, or are struggling to chew normally, check in with your dentist for assistance – they can help you get more comfortable.
What About Everyone Else?
If you don't fall under one of these special categories, you're probably just fine with twice-yearly exams – and potentially even fewer than that! Especially low-risk patients can get away with one appointment a year. If you're young, have a good dental and medical history, and don't have pressing risks or decay-causing factors present in your life, every 12 months may be adequate to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Don't make this decision on your own, though – ask your dentist what they think is best for your health. Together, you can set an exam schedule that feels right and keeps you healthy for life!

2019 Ford Ranger USA Price, Release Date, and Engine – It's been six years because Ford terminated Ranger for United States industry but things will transform. 2019 Ford Ranger USA will unquestionably signal the return of Ford's middle of the-sizing pick-around the Suggests. The corporation itself along with the purchasers will take full advantage of Ranger's attraction and rebirth that occurred in Australia and European countries. Amongst the key reason for reviving this automobile, Michigan-dependent business has in its competitors. They at this time have absolutely nothing inside their schedule to countertop the enjoys of Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon, Honda Ridgeline and Toyota Tacoma. In contrast to Honda's car, Ford Ranger 2019 will unquestionably be described as a legitimate body-on-framework pickup. The car will employ slightly revised T6 platform that will moreover function as the basic for brand-new Bronco. Regarding the drive moves brand name-new middle of the size pickup from Ford will come as the two FWD and AWD.
2019 Ford Ranger USA Release Date And Price
The 2019 product year, with base costs under $25,000. The product sales potential is substantial. Toyota has been gently advertising deposits of Tacoma- merely scared of 180,000 in 2015. And GM stimulated company-new existence in the program, marketing greater than 100,000 Shade any individual last year. Within its heyday, the Ranger shamed all of them, marketing almost 350,000 in 1999.
Exterior and Interior
The return of your much less-than-gigantic Ford decides on-up. Ford currently markets this middle-size pretty much all over the place besides on this site. However, that is going to change into action to the strong-marketing Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. The Ranger will undoubtedly also spawn a whole new Ford Bronco SUV, which will supply some rivalry for the Jeep Wrangler. Broncos have to get here in 2020 with a commencing price of $30,000. Our Ranger will surely utilize the same body-on-framework developing and construction as the truck available in other places worldwide. Like GM's middle of the-sizers, it is only a bit more compact measured in comparison to its big brother; the crew cab is, in reality, much longer compared to a bottom F-150. But GM has proved that even major little pickup trucks can market without having cannibalizing sales in the full-size lineup.
2019 Ford Ranger USA Engine And Specs
Ford's Joe Hinrichs uncovered on the Detroit Auto Show that this Western-industry Ford Ranger revealed above, would serve as the premise to the U.S. The Ranger offered in The United States will be developed in Ford's Michigan Establishing Plant. Also, it will be inning compliance with Hinrichs will inevitably exhibit distinct entrance-stop developing, motors, and involves as compared with the Euro-market place truck.
The only engine at this time supplied inside the throughout the world Ranger that will likely go to the American industry is the 3.2-liter five-cylinder diesel. It's provided in the total-dimension Travel van and may assist the Ranger to get rid of the title of "most dependable select-up" from your 31-freeway-mpg diesel Colorado/Canyon doubles. Count on an EcoBoost several-cylinder plus an in a natural way aspirated gasoline V-6 within the United States selection. A diesel Bronco noises kind to us, at the same time.
Historical Past
Phone Ranger was used in three different variations made by Ford. In 1983 within the United States and Canada they introduced a compact pickup less than this label which has been offered throughout the world since 1998. Nine yrs following the first version the 2nd era was launched. Nonetheless, soon after 29 several years, Ford made a decision to cease the manufacturing within the US. No Ranger has primarily been released from the time, but we heard through the grapevine that new design is going to be introduced in 3 years. This whole post is based on reviews and speculations. However, we wish lots of things composed beneath will come right.

Dasha Zhukova Rumored to Be Launching a New Magazine
>> Since resigning as editor of POP last November, Dasha Zhukova's new endeavors have been primarily art focused. The day after she resigned, it was announced that Zhukova had invested in and was expected to be active in the business of online startup Art.sy, which aims to be a "Pandora for art," recommending pieces to potential buyers based on their taste.
And a couple of weeks ago, it was confirmed that "in a gesture designed to please" Zhukova, her partner Roman Abramovich will finance a state-of-the-art modern art gallery in Moscow's Gorky Park, part of a £1.25 billion ($2.04 billion) makeover of the location which will also include a London Eye-style Ferris wheel. The forthcoming gallery is expected to be curated and run by Zhukova, who also confirmed that she plans to move her Moscow-based Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture to Gorky Park after the renovations are complete.
Now, rumors are circulating that Zhukova plans to return to print. The Imagist reports: "Have you caught that whisper of a hiss that suggests that post-POP, the world's most glamorous art maven, Dasha Zhukova, is summoning her very own culture mag ? . . . We heard the suspected name, which makes perfect branding sense...But who's designing? Who's shooting for? London based? Paris? Moscow? Art driven or is [it] a fashion frenzy?"

The Cloud Kingdom is an area that lies in the skies of Ooo. The place was first seen in the episode "My Two Favorite People," where Finn and Lady Rainicorn had a party here. The place is mostly inhabited by Cloud People, but has some other creatures that have not been seen anywhere else. They are possibly creatures that live in the Cloud Kingdom. It was seen again in the episode "Power Animal," where Jake was seen partying with Party God and the Water Sprites.
The place is filled with white puffy clouds. There are also many discarded items around them.
- It seems that the Cloud Kingdom loves partying, because every time the characters are there, there is a party.

Glove number one is done save the thumb. I couldn't find my US 1.5 dpns so I decided to save all the thumbs for last after finishing all the other mitts.
I like a nice long cuff that reaches back into the sleeves on my winter coat. Keeps out the drafts I tried this on and it's a very snug but comfortable mitt for me but I have fairly slim wrists. So I'm thinking for my matching pair to go up to 60 stitches to be more forgiving.
Onward to mitt number two! Happy Knitying!!

The Real Reason This Dating App Won't Let Users Post Photos of Guns
Over 30 million men and women use Bumble, an online dating service in which women are in charge of "making the first move" once they find a potential match.
The app's human moderators do a pretty good job of keeping an eye out for banned content — everything from nudity to offensive or harmful language. Now, this dating app won't let users post photos of guns — and that's probably a good thing.
Bumble says 'no more guns'
On March 5, 2018, Bumble announced they were updating their terms and conditions to include a ban on all past and future photos of guns and other weapons. The app finalized this policy change several weeks after 17 people lost their lives to gun violence in Parkland, Florida.
Next: The manual process might take some time.
The app will remove all photos and mentions of weapons
Shortly following the official announcement, the app began banning all new uploads of photos containing gun-related or similarly violent content. They also started digging through their archives, removing any photos that no longer followed the new user agreement.
Next: How can Bumble sort through millions of photos to find the violations?
If that seems like a lot of work … well, it is
About 5,000 moderators worldwide now keep an eye out — and remove — any images related to firearms that have or will appear on the app. At this point, though, they still can't do anything about photos integrated into people's profiles from their Instagram accounts.
Next: Not into following the rules? Here's what Bumble has to say about that.
What happens if someone tries to post a photo of a gun anyway?
According to Bumble's terms and conditions, there is a "zero-tolerance policy" in place for content that is offensive, violent, or otherwise inappropriate by their standards. As with any other platform, if you don't follow the rules, you get banned — unless you're a member of a certain profession, that is.
Next: Not every user is subject to this type of punishment.
This rule won't apply if you're law enforcement or military
Some members of the app don't apply to the new condition. Bumble included a disclaimer in their announcement on The Beehive clarifying that members of the military or law enforcement pictured in uniform on their profiles won't have their photos removed.
Next: Here's the reason behind Bumble's decision to ban this type of imagery.
Bumble doesn't think guns align with their mission statement
They wrote in a blog post, "Online behavior can both mirror and predict how people treat each other in the real world… gun violence is not in line with our values, nor do these weapons belong on Bumble."
This isn't the first time they've made a point to keep Bumble users safe, either. They have already banned hate speech and inappropriate sexual content from the interface to protect both men and women from potentially dangerous encounters both on and offline.
Next: Here's how this move will actually make a difference.
Will the ban really help keep people safe?
Changing their image policy isn't the only move the online dating platform has made to help keep people safe from violence.
The final paragraph of Bumble's announcement said the company would be donating $100,000 to March for Our Lives. Parkland survivors created the organization to begin a movement against gun violence in the United States.

Chainsaws are among the most popular power tools for cutting down branches and trees. The method where the power tool functions is fairly straightforward. The chainsaw's engine pushes a metallic chain that is driven from the clutch. The metallic chain travels across a trench in the bar at exceptionally high speeds.
Considering how the chain cuts through the wood, the wood is cut to pieces by the sharp teeth hauled across the surface. That is one of several reasons why chainsaws are among the most dangerous tools.
The market is filled with numerous types of chainsaws, and each type has its benefits and drawbacks. A good deal of people will surely find it hard to choose which type of chainsaw they'll have to get.
There are two or three things that you have to take into consideration before it is possible to decide on the type of petrol chainsaw which could suit your requirements. But with the sheer abundance of choices, it's apparent that it might take some time before it is possible to pick the very best type of chainsaw to fit your requirements.
Whether you're a homeowner or a professional, the type of chainsaw you use can make or break your own work. Let us cut through the confusion and help you decide on the ideal type of chainsaw for you. Everything you need may only be a petrol chainsaw. Listed below are a few reasons why you need to use a chainsaw.
1. Ability
Equipped with a two-stroke engine, a petrol chainsaw is quicker and far more powerful in comparison to other types of chainsaws. The bigger energy output permits the device to readily strike the hardiest cutting jobs.
The bigger power output also allows the petrol chainsaw to be fitted with bars longer than its counterparts are capable of supporting. Some models are capable of supporting blades up to 90cm long. Longer blades mean no tree, no matter how difficult or thick, is uncuttable. Do more work in less time.
2. Mobile
Considering the chainsaw is powered by petrol, you do not need to be worried about the absence of a source of electricity. Cut each time and where you want without worrying about the availability of generators or electric sockets.
This type of chainsaw is easier to maneuver because there is absolutely no bulky or heavy wiring attached to it. Last, you don't need to take into consideration the battery life: just refill the saw when the petrol runs out.
3. Versatile
You are able to rely on a petrol chainsaw to execute pretty much any type of work. Its rugged design allows you to match it with a massive choice of bar spans from the traditional 12-inch blade into a huge 60-inch blade.
12-inch bars may execute a vast collection of smaller jobs such as pruning, dividing, and firewood cutting. Heavy-duty tasks such as cutting down large trees, limbing and bucking require longer bar spans.
4. Durable
Petrol chainsaws are made with durability in mind. They are intended to cut through the toughest wood, and you are set to work for as long as you would like. With routine maintenance, your chainsaw may endure for quite a while.
All this power does not come without responsibility, however. It is crucial to practice safe and suitable chainsaw use and to use personal protective gear such as goggles, gloves, earmuffs, and a face mask when using the chainsaw to make sure your safety isn't jeopardized.

About four to five years ago, I took up weight training. I was reasonably good at it and in a short space of time (three years), I went from being 12st to being 15st without taking steroids or any drugs. I always had other sporting interests such as boxing and kung fu, which are based on being supple and flexible. However since I stopped training my limbs crack a lot; when I wake up for example. I can crack my feet, elbow joints and I wonder if it is because if am too heavy. I don't have much excess fat on my body, about 11 per cent. My joints get stiff more easily and I dislocated my shoulder quite easily last year. Will this cause me problems later in life such as arthritis? How can I rectify the problem?
This cracking is actually not well understood but it doesn't seem to relate to any known diseases and it certainly does not lead to arthritis. I suspect it's about the 'health' of the ligaments and tendons and that just as you were actively working on your muscles so were you working on your ligaments and tendons. It may be that now the tone of them has changed as the kinds of pressures you are putting on them has changed, that you are going to experience this cracking. I wouldn't worry about it.
Yours sincerely
Dr Bob Leckridge, GP

The #MeToo Movement – Can It Go Too Far?
"The #MeToo movement is a one-way system of justice: With a few Tweets, it can serve to forever stigmatize a man as guilty; but it can never restore his reputation if he turns out to be innocent. #MeToo can deliver infamy, but never absolution. There is no judge, no court, no Archdiocese to which one can plead the case for review, pardon or parole."
"Some critics of #MeToo have worried that, in extreme cases, it might become an inquisition. But the comparison is inapt. The Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition could condemn a person to death for practicing Judaism, witchcraft or blasphemy. But it could also authoritatively absolve a person of such charges. This is the benefit of a system in which some formal mechanism of church or state pronounces definitively on matters of guilt, innocence and redemption: No matter how inexact or unfair the process, there is always hope that one can re-enter society, rebuild one's reputation, and earn a livelihood. In the case of the current wave of men accused of sexual assault or harassment, on the other hand, that's impossible."
"An all-or-nothing process that can mete out exactly one kind of punishment — a lifetime of disgrace, or nothing at all — provides us with a thrilling kind of moral theatre, in which pure villains such as Harvey Weinstein get their due. But in cases where the facts are less damning, this black-and-white, permanent-ink approach doesn't reflect the way most ordinary men and women judge — and eventually forgive — one another."
