The Brogue Hog

It is all an issue of Image Resolution

There are currently three different HDTV formats: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p; all three are designated as HD-Digital TV standards by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), which adopted these formats.

The main difference between these three HDTV formats is one of image resolution.

The 720p is on the lower-end of the scale with an image resolution of 1280 pixels by 720 lines. The other two formats both support 1920 pixels by 1080 lines.
In other words, both support the same image resolution but there is a significant difference in the way the 1080i (interlaced) and the 1080p (progressive) formats build up the image.

Surely, image resolution in fixed-pixel displays is a very HOT topic with many HDTV buyers. For many, the obvious choice is to opt for the latest 1080p HDTV - also referred to as ultra-HD or full-HD by some manufacturers …but there is a price to pay to get the latest in HDTV technology.

On the other hand, the way the 1080i and the 720p formats build up the image may render the lower resolution 720p format more suitable to display certain image content.

In other words, do not simply jump to conclusions as to which HD format is best. As we will see in this article, each of these different HDTV formats has got its strengths and weaknesses.

1080i: Up to a few years ago, this was considered as the reference standard in HDTV. Nearly all first-generation HDTVs were rear-projection sets that supported this standard.

This format boasts a picture resolution of 1920 pixels by 1080 horizontal lines that are painted on the screen in two interlaced halves (hence the ‘i’ in the ‘1080i’ format) - by first painting all 540 even-numbered lines on the screen (also referred to as the even-field), and then proceed with the painting of the odd-numbered lines (odd-field). These two fields together form a single frame of 1080 lines.

In the process, the screen is painted 60 times per second (50 times in a PAL signal) - each time painting only half of the lines per frame, with the entire screen being painted in two passes 30 times every second.

Because of the way the interlaced process paints the screen, all picture information contained in adjacent odd and even lines in an interlaced image is 1/60th of a second out-of-synch with the next or previous line. This in itself will impact on the type of image content that is best displayed on an interlaced display.

720p and 1080p HDTV: In contrast, in progressive-scan formats - 480p (EDTV), 720p and 1080p HDTV displays - all scanning lines in a single frame are displayed sequentially in a single pass.

In the process, a progressive scan video format writes one full frame of video information every 1/60 of a second as against the 1/30th of second required for an interlaced format.

The Bottom Line

The 1080i format is more widely supported by manufacturers and broadcasters; broadcasters however would normally broadcast only in either 720p or 1080i but not both. This should not be much of an issue in that any HDTV set you buy should be able to display pictures in any HDTV format by up-converting or down-converting to its native format, i.e. the one in which it’s designed to produce a picture.

From a pixel-count perspective, the 1080i supports better spatial resolution than a 720p HDTV display. In fact, while a 1080i supports a total pixel count of 2.07 million pixels, a 720p display supports only 0.92 million pixels. This means that if you want to display a 1080i signal on a 720p screen, you will lose 55.6% of pixels information.

This is not the case with 1080p HDTV which supports the same spatial resolution as 1080i, but with the added benefit that all 1080 scanning lines are displayed in a single pass, 60 times per second.

In other words, 1080p HDTV combines the superior resolution of the 1080i format with the progressive-scan smoothness of 720p HDTV.

Because of the two passes per frame in a 1080i signal, a 1080i HDTV display is capable of producing a sharper picture only when the image is frozen or barely moving.

Progressive-scan 720p and 1080p HDTV displays introduce fewer motion artifacts, such as jagged diagonal lines and movement in fine detail, into the picture, leading to a video image that looks smoother and that stays sharper during motion than an interlaced one.

This means that a 720p display - with its substantially lower picture resolution, need not necessarily be worse than a 1080i one. Theoretically, a 720p display should be capable of a better flicker-free picture when it comes to fast moving action movie scenes and sports.

In comparison to the other two HDTV formats, 1080p HDTV has the best of both worlds - it has the spatial resolution of a 1080i signal and the smooth stable image of a progressive scan format.

It is worth mentioning here that interlaced formats aren’t really an option in fixed-pixel displays (DLP and LCD rear-projection as well as plasma and LCD flat-panel). This also explains why display manufacturers are shifting away from the 1080i and instead moving directly from 720p to 1080p HDTV.

And What about 1080p HDTV Sets?

Surely, 1080p HDTV represents the latest developments in HD Television technology. A few of these sets have already started to hit the market.

Among the latest HDTV models released this year, one can find the much awaited Samsung’s 2005 line-up of DLP 1080p HDTVs.

Not surprisingly, these sets do not come cheap. There is a premium one has to pay to get the latest and best in the HDTV world. As a minimum, expect to pay at least $1,000 to $2,000 more to jump from a 720p to a 1080p HDTV display. But when you are spending some $3,000 plus for a HDTV set, it is only human that you will be ready to fork out another one or two thousand dollars to get the best of breed.

Should you opt for a 1080p HDTV Set, and are these sets worth the extra expense?

Well, there is no straight answer here. It all depends on what are your requirements, yet there are a few facts you should know before making any decision:

• Surely, these sets are capable of producing spectacular results with ultra sharp images. But whether you will be able to see the difference in image quality between a 720p display and a 1080i signal displayed on a 1080p HDTV display depends on your TV viewing distance and screen size, more than on the screen native resolution. (It is not the scope of this article to discuss the TV viewing distance but more info in this respect is available at our site at http://www.practical-home-theater-guide.com/Tv-viewing-distance.html)

• In reality, it would be very difficult to detect any difference in image detail between 720p and 1080i/p HDTV material on the smaller sets from 10-feet away. Sit closer and feed your 1080p HDTV set with a good quality HD source, and you will start to see the difference.

• Further more, with most of today’s HD broadcasts, you’ll be hard pressed to see a difference in picture quality when you compare the image on current 720p sets versus the latest 1080p HDTV models. Surely, if you are thinking of going really big, then the extra image resolution would make the difference. But keep in mind that at present, true 1080p HDTV material is almost non-existent. What’s more, none of the major networks has announced 1080p broadcasts. If and when such high-def formats as ‘Blu-ray’ or ‘HD-DVD’ take off, the equation may change. But it will probably be at least a few years from now before this stuff become truly within reach of many household budgets.

Finally, most 1080p HDTV sets presently available on the market do not offer a 1080p connection. Though the HDMI standard does support 1080p HDTV, yet the majority of today’s 1080p HDTV sets do not offer a 1080p connection on their HDMI port.

To a certain extent, this is explained by the lack of true 1080p HDTV gear with which these sets can interconnect. In fact, what 1080p sets do is to up-convert 1080i material to 1080p HDTV to combine the benefits of a superior resolution of the 1080i format with the image smoothness and motion sharpness of progressive-scanning.

Have you ever tried to get some peace and quiet at home, in your car, boat, motor home, or even at the beach? A portable DVD player really works well anywhere to keep children content and quite while Mom and Dad enjoy the silence. It has the same effect on adults too!

The portable design will maximize your enjoyment. While you are traveling and when you arrive at your destination. Whether it be a hotel, airplane, cruise ship, campsite, or just about anywhere, a portable DVD player will allow you to watch the movies of your choice…when you want to watch them. Most airline flights do not have a movie. Hotels and ships do offer pay-per-view movies; however, the selection may not be of your liking, you can’t pause them, watch them on the balcony or pool side, or repeat something you missed, without either paying more or watching the whole movie again.

You won’t need a shelf type DVD player in your home and your friends won’t need one either. Your portable DVD player can be connected to most any TV to watch your favorite DVD on a larger screen in any room. If you are looking for the best surround sound home theater experience, a portable DVD player can be connected to high-end home theater systems via optical link digital audio cables and S-video, instead of the included RCA cables. There are portable DVD players which offer the ability to view your favorite movies on a small screen and pump out sound comparable to their bigger brothers.

Business people can use a portable dvd player to to give a presentation anywhere. There are dvds that will teach you and read you a book.

Use your imagination, as there are virtually unlimited applications for a Portable DVD Player.

First step after you decided to have theater speakers at home is to choose the suitable product. Speakers can have various shapes and characteristics and some of them are pintable. There are two kinds of on wall home theater speakers. The round speakers are usually integrated in ceiling and rectangular speakers suit better in walls.

Ceiling speakers are usually easier to integrate in the room decoration and have to be disposed symmetrical to provide an excellent background frequency response. On wall home theater speakers take up more space and should be situated at ear level, but usually their sound is better than in ceiling speakers. For best performance it is recommended to use stereo pairs of on wall speakers. But ceiling speakers should have mono signal, otherwise the sound will not have a uniform coverage. For small rooms the most suitable are speakers with dual voice coils and inputs for each channel. So, with a single stereo speaker, you may listen into your bathroom great quality music.

After you choose the rooms where yow want to install your speakers, you can set-up your multi-room speaker system as single zone or multiple zone system. In a multi zone system you can listen to different kind of music in separate room in the same time. You may control this system with a special remote control or you can choose to be helped by a touch screen. Touch screens are easily to work with, and are very helpful when you want to manage different sound sources from each room or to compensate the loss of high frequency response in a less acoustic place.

The in ceiling or on wall home theater speakers are generally easy to install but for sophisticated sound system it is better to consult qualified professional for assistance.

Rear Projection Television - An Affordable Option

A great deal of consumer appeal for Rear Projection TV systems arise out of the shear simplicity that this product offers as an immediate solution to getting a bigger TV.

No mess, no fuss, if you have the space, either visit your local big screen retailer - or better still, check at your favorite online electronics superstore - to order your product and get it delivered in just a few days; unpack the product and there you have a big screen TV in your living room ready for immediate use!

Rear Projection TV Facts:

As already stated, rear projection offers a most immediate solution to getting a bigger TV. Probably, this is also one of the main drivers behind rear projection television sales.

Yet the real ‘culprit’ behind the popularity of rear projection TV systems does not arise out of some particular benefit associated with rear projection, but out of the fact that most big screen retailers seem to give the impression that rear projection systems are cheaper than a front projection setup.

This may be true in retail stores, but not necessary so when buying online. The reality is that for a given budget level, prices online are such that front projectors will deliver a much more cinema-like experience for the same price bracket. Therefore, do not base your decision on price alone to decide between a front projection setup and a rear projection TV box.

Clearly, there is a market for both - the primary decisive factor should be your room size. If you don’t have a large viewing room, a 40″ to 60″ diagonal TV will probably be more than adequate rendering a rear projection TV the ideal affordable solution - as long as it fits in the available space.

Size - or rather unit depth - is becoming less of a problem with modern LCD and DLP rear projection TV units. A typical 52″ diagonal widescreen DLP or LCD rear projection TV set requires no more than 15-inches in depth; this contrasts heavily with a similar size CRT rear projection model which would normally require between 22 and 24 inches in depth.

What’s more, considering that a similar size Plasma TV is still out of reach of most average household budgets, today’s slim-styled LCD and DLP rear projection TV sets, with their lower prices yet high performance, are becoming the affordable ‘immediate’ big screen TV option in the television mass-market.

However prior to committing yourself to a rear projection TV, it is important to be fully aware of a few limitations associated with rear projection systems, namely: limited screen size, limited viewing angle, glare problems, poor aspect ratio management, poor use of floor-space, etc.

We take a look at each of these limitations in further detail below:

Screen size:

Rear projection TV systems come in screen sizes ranging from typical 42″ up to a maximum of just over 70″. This may or may not be a limitation. It is true that you can get a 100″ projection with a home theater projector for the price of a high quality digital 50″ rear projection TV, yet the screen size should be dimensioned to suit your room. If your room size does not support such big projections, rear projection is probably the way to go.

Viewing angles:

Rear projection TV systems used to have a rather limited viewing angle - with the optimum viewing position being one directly in front of and eye-level with the unit. Move away to either side, and color, contrast, and brightness will degrade substantially. A narrow viewing angle will limit the number of people who can watch the set due the lowering in picture quality at the extreme viewing angles. Most modern systems support a viewing angle of circa 150 degrees - which should be adequate for normal home theater use. However, it is always best to check on this prior to your purchase as some products are worse than others.

Reflections:

It is common that any light source at a complementary angle to your viewing-angle will result in glare - in particular if the unit makes use of a screen-saver (a clear protective material that covers the fragile screen itself). Glare can seriously degrade the picture quality. The only real solution is to take away the offending light source; in some cases the situation can improve if one removes the screen-saver - BUT remember that an unprotected screen is fragile and expensive to replace if damaged.

Floor-space:

Any rear projection TV is literally a large box with a relatively large footprint. It is true that modern slim-type models do exist that are no more than 15 to 18 inches in depth - depending on the screen size, yet the cheaper CRT-based rear projection TV sets will stand out by at least 24 to even 30 inches to allow for the necessary air-space between the back of the unit and the wall.

Remember to take this into your calculations when planning your home theater as these two feet or so will have to be deducted from your available viewing distance.

Rear Projection TV Speakers:

Forget all about them! Do not give any weighting to the speaker system coming with your rear projection unit. You would not be using them as you will surely want to replace these with your dedicated home theater surround receiver speaker system.

Do not even think of using the build-in speakers of your rear television set as a center channel replacement. They will just interfere with the sound coming out of your dedicated system - hence do not pay anything extra for this as you will surely be switching off your TV sound completely during a movie show.

Aspect ratios:

We have already mentioned a number of limitations associated with rear projection television, yet in comparison, these are just minor issues. The real serious limitation with a rear projection TV is aspect ratio management.

This is the trickiest of it all. Standard television comes only in 4:3 but rear projection TV systems come in both standard 4:3, and in the 16:9 widescreen format. Once you choose your format however, you have to live with it - so once again, you have to choose wisely.

The 4:3 (1.33) or 16:9 (1.78) referred to as the aspect ratio, is the ratio of the screen width with respect to the height of the image. All standard non-HDTV material is in the 4:3 format while most modern films come in one of the many widescreen formats - the most common being the 2.35, which in itself is not compatible with any of the fixed aspect ratio TV systems.

There are various ways to deal with this - including:

• Image stretching to fill the available screen.
• Use of black or gray bars on top and bottom of a 4:3 screen to show the movie in its correct aspect ratio as originally filmed, but then the effective film display will be smaller.
• Pan and scan editing where only the most important portion of each frame is shown with the rest being discarded.

Image stretching and horizontal bars can be extremely irritating while in the ‘pan and scan’ you are giving up film information to have a full screen view. Worst of all, prolonged use of horizontal bars - especially black bars - leads to tube burn-out in CRT based systems at huge costs to you.

The incompatibility between screen formats renders the decision on aspect ratio a rather complicated issue when choosing a rear projection TV set. Surely, there is no such dilemma with a front projection setup, but if your only way forward is rear projection, then you will have to choose wisely.

Here no one can help you in your decision - it is simply a matter of preference. The best way to decide on aspect ratio is by first determining what you will be viewing most.

Making the Choice:

Surely, there is a market for both front and rear projection TVs - it is all a question of knowing what are the advantages and limitations of each with respect to your specific needs.

Purity 12 and Toxic Waste Buildup

The Purity12 Colon Cleanse system is a gentle, oral, diet supplement that cleans your colon. This is a peaceful, all natural, diet supplement that cleans your colon. Not merely will your body be ready to rid itself of the pollutants, this superior formula also includes an herbal anti-parasite that permits your body to dump any unpleasant toxins and parasites that will have inhabited your abdominal tract. This product made of all natural ingredients, which guarantees that it is intensely safe for your body.If you want better health, choose to engage in colon cleansing right away.

Each human is exposed to diverse amounts of poisons on an everyday basis. Having a poisonous colon means there’s poisonous waste build up amassing in your guts, leaving your colon in a toxic state. When your colon is stuffed with poisonous waste build up, your body produces excess gas. We want to remove the effect of metabolic waste, mucous build up and poisons safely and naturally to feel replenished. If the poisons are not removed, this will cause the surplus gas to build up, which leaves you in a swollen state.With the use of Purity12 Colon Cleanse, you’ll be fitter and will also lose pounds from using this colon cleaning system.

The act of colon cleansing has been occurring since the beginning of time, or at least since the beginning of recorded history. The practice of colon cleansing is known to have been documented as having been practiced as early as 1500 B.C. in Egypt. Not only has it been occurring for many years, decades, and centuries, but colon cleansing has been around for even more than a millennium! To be more precise, colon cleansing has been being practiced since the beginning of our time, or at least since the beginning of recorded history. Colon cleansing also permanently relieves bloating, detoxes your body, and has even been linked to weight loss (your toxic waste build up in your colon can weigh up to fifteen pounds!). Using product such as Purity12 Colon Cleanse, colon cleansing is immensely beneficial, and has been becoming more and more popular. The people of the past were not ignorant to its benefits, and neither are we.

Digital video cameras continue to be as popular as ever. As they become more technologically sophisticated they’re offering better quality and more functions in ever smaller packages. Top-of-the-range, high definition videocams can cost in excess of $3000 to buy. This figure would be even higher if existing mechanisms, which allow HD videos to be recorded on a conventional DV tape, couldn not be used.

It’s hardly surprising, then, that digital video camera rental is fast becoming the preferred option for digital videocam users who only need to use the equipment for special occasions. With improvements in the technology moving fast, so fast that chances are a new model will already have been superseded by something better within six months, the trend to rent and not to buy seems set to continue.

As an irregular user, looking to take pictures at weddings or on holiday, constantly upgrading your digital videocam is neither a practical, nor cost-effective solution. Why not, then, get the best of both worlds - the latest models and the lowest prices - by choosing the rental option? Your biggest worry will be to pre-book well in advance at busy times of the year, like Christmas and New Year or Thanksgiving, to avoid disappointment. Look in the Yellow Pages or login to the internet, and you’ll find there are some great deals to be had out there.

Great offers are available if you shop around. At Christmas and New Year, especially, extended and weekend rental bargains are to be had provided, as we’ve said, you book early. Throughout the year, even, many digital video camera rental outlets will offer an extra free rental day, and, at short notice, many shops will pull together a video camera package at very competitive prices.

The basic rental package, usually comprises spare batteries, charger, camcorder case, manufacturer’s manual and a “quick-start” guide. Ease of use varies with the model, but the “Get Started” guide you should receive as part of the package will outline use of the main controls of On/Off, record and zoom buttons. A manual should also be supplied should you feel like exploring more options in detail.

Alternatively, as an infrequent user of digital camcorders, you will find that many rental outlets offer a photo printing or video transfer service, copying your film on to CD or DVD. Again, shop around for the best deals if you’re interested in a complete service. Even with this service charge added to the hire cost, on any cost-benefit analysis you’ll be getting a great deal.

Besides the basic package, optional extras are available. Accessories, such as tripods, external microphones and camcorder lights, though, are not seen as optional extras for many users who want to shoot that perfect picture for the perfect occasion. You will pay an extra hire charge for these items, as you will for video tapes and mini-DVD-Rs. The software to download your photos on to your PC will usually be included in the hire package, though. This software is very popular now and has largely replaced still photos on memory cards. Rent and you’ll get the best for less.

Having decided that digital video camera rental is for you, the most important question to ask yourself before you proceed any further is: what do I want from a digital camcorder? Do I want a cheaper, standard format videocam, or would I prefer a high definition video?

Standard models use compact, 60-minute tapes, and can be plugged into the camcorder/playstation inputs on the front of many TVs and video recorders. The playback quality is very good. As a rule of thumb with standard models, the smaller the camera the fewer features it has. You want a larger optical zoom? Then you’ll need to hire one of the slightly larger cameras. Even so, none is that big and all are easy to use for the novice.

But are you more technically-minded? If so, then an HD videocam, offering superb playback quality with four times the number of pixels as standard definition, would allow you to shoot a video of a wedding and edit the video on HDV. Be aware, though, that a very powerful PC is required to use video editing packages. The HDV footage can then be recorded on to a high definition DVD player with marvellous results.

Europe lags behind the U.S. where we have been able to enjoy high definition TV, and watch content from most of the major networks, for a number of years. Familiarity with the superb picture quality afforded by HD breeds contempt among aficionados for standard models. Renting a videocam allows the technically-minded to practise more demanding techniques and to produce top-class pictures without the substantial outlay involved in buying a top-notch videocam. And remember: as a perfectionist, you’ll need accessories, too, which makes renting an even more attractive option.

So, novice or enthusiast, renting the equipment makes the best sense. The videocam’s obsolescence, driven by continual improvements in technology, requires constant and expensive upgrading. The very high cost of buying top-of-the-range videocams, together with the easy availability of great-deal packages, including accessories, all make compelling reasons for renting and not buying.

“A picture is worth a thousand words”, so they say. Well, not quite, but it will have been worth reading a few hundred if you’re now sold on the benefits of digital video camera rental.

Easter came this year and you may have hunted for decorated eggs, had a nice brunch, or exchanged little chocolate bunnies, all of which are quite nifty.

But you missed out if you didn’t buy yourself some rabbit ears.

Happily, it’s not too late.

For those of you who have grown up with cable and satellite TV, you may not know what I’m talking about.

Rabbit ears are those adjustable metal rods that come out of a ball-like base that squats on or near your TV set in order to improve reception. Along with rooftop antennas, they’re what households used before the advent of cable and satellite TV.

Admittedly, the clarity they bring is less than perfect, but heck, if you’re looking to dump that cable or satellite TV provider; they’re just what you need.

I bought my rabbit ears at the 99 Cent Store, and I can’t tell you how happy I am.

I am getting about 25 stations for FREE. Compare this to paying anywhere from $39 to $69 a month for what is dubiously called, “America’s Top 30″ or “America’s Top 50″ by one of the satellite firms.

Their channels are no better than what my ears and I are pulling out of the air.

If you’ve been reading my articles with any regularity, you know I’ve been “unplugging” from needless technology, especially that which requires an outflow of money on a subscription basis.

There are some exceptions, such as Major League Baseball, which I can get on my laptop or my PC.

But I found the customer service at the cable and satellite firms so abysmal, and the quality of their programs so low, that I decided to take action.

If you can’t summon the gumption to go completely TV-less, try rabbit ears, and tell your friends.

When you tune in that first free show, you’re going to be in for a thrill!

Purchasing Pants for girls could be one of the most nice things men can do - as well as the most traumatic and hazardous present to acquire.

Remember it’s not your gift, but it’s hers. Forget leather, PVC, or any extra sexy outfit, choose something silky or lacey and are safer.

Don’t try to deduce your girlfriend’s. body size, preferred variety Unluckily, women don’t use S, M, large, and extra large sizes similar to guy. Do your exploration firstly. Hang on until she exit and then raid her nickers drawer.

Attempt to find things with the marker in it and take notes of the brands and designs she enjoyes. Allow for that added extras like lace and fringes can be stylish and sexy if you comprehend what your companion prefers. I found out that my other half likes Lingerie underwear. I thought Lingerie were only for the seashore.

Lingerie sets instead can refer to virtually any constricted skimpy, or minute underwear that gives less coverage to the midsection than usual undergarment, panties or knickers. In fact Lingerie Knickers copies what you appreciate on the coastline.

The Lingerie has become a US$811 million business yearly and it’s possibly the on the whole popular woman beachwear all-round the earth because of the amalgamation of the power of women and fashion trends.

It is a Greek development. Two-piece clothing put on by gils for game intent are shown on Greek urns and canvas dating back to the XV Century Before Christ. Check this sexy padded bikinis from designers such as Livia, Verde Veronica, Sunflair, Lola Luna, Phax and Sielei.

An old image identified “Bikini Girls” dating back to the Diocletian epoch (286-305 AD) in Italy represents a few girls in mosaics on the ground.

Near Naples there are also quite a few images of the Roman deity Venere wearing a beachwear.

The current beachwear begin to become known once more at the beginning of last century, when a femal swimmer, Annette Kellerman was arrested on a Boston seashore for having “sexy” one-piece that became conventional swimsuit for women by early 1900.

The up-to-the-minute bathing suit was created by French engineer Louis Réard just after the second world war and was a shock when it became visible on French coastlines a few years after. He named it after Lingerie Atoll in the Pacific, the place of a atomic outburst test on the beginning of July in 1946. The reasoning was that the explosion of thrill created by it would be like a nuclear device.

Regarding purchasing Lingerie as presents, keep in mind that most structures will proficiently gift wrap your acquisition for you if you demand for a little payment and it is well worth paying a bit on top for. Along with I suggest to keep the receipt - you never know.

Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.

There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.

There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.

Developing ideas within a framework

Developing ideas within a framework is one of the most effective methods of speeding up creative output.

The opposite of this is that any problem can be solved by breaking it up into its constituent parts. From the problem you derive the framework.

Frameworks:

a) Break a complex problem up into smaller, more manageable parts. Each part then becomes a problem solving exercise in it’s own right. Complexity is reduced into noncomplex constituents.

b) Focus the mind to working incrementally. Less expenditure of energy is required and competencies can be learned gradually.

c) Introduces feasibility, one of the critical factors of motivation. The manned mission to the moon was preceded by a successful unmanned mission.

d) Cause the mind to work on a problem at a time and speeds up completion time of the whole task. Working on problem A and then problem B to arrive at solution C is quicker than working on problem A and B together.

Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.

There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.

There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.

Blocking: saying YES or NO

Personalities can be divided into many types, but one of the simplest and easiest classifications that benefits idea generation and creative thinking is the concept of YES and NO.

a) People who generally say NO are rewarded by the security they gain.

b) People who generally say YES, are rewarded by the adventures they have.

Consciously acting to ACCEPT, that is say YES, rather than say NO, has benefits including:

a) A wider diversity of ideas as none are rejected.

b) More novel ideas as none are rejected.

c) A greater tendency to not evaluate ideas before expressing them.

d) A greater propensity for accepting first thoughts.

e) A greater tendency to see value.

f) A greater tendency to think outside comfort zones.
