creativity by compounding

New ideas could emerge by compounding words in a name, a phrase or hyphenated word. A compound noun, for example,  is a noun that is formed by combining two or more words together. These words can be joined together, separated by a space, or connected with a hyphen. The resulting combination represents a single concept or entity.

Examples of compound noun that could be used to form a new product are:

Closed Compound Noun (No Space): Example: Notebook In this case, "note" and "book" are combined into a single word to refer to a type of book for writing notes.

Hyphenated Compound Noun: Example: Well-being "Well" and "being" are connected with a hyphen to create a compound noun representing a state of health and happiness.

Open Compound Noun (Space Between Words): Example: Coffee table "Coffee" and "table" are separate words, forming a compound noun referring to a low table used for placing coffee or other items.

A proper adjective which is derived from a proper noun and often represents a specific person, place, or thing. It typically starts with a capital letter. 
For example: Proper Noun: France. 
Proper Adjective: French
So, in the sentence, "We enjoyed French cuisine," "French" is a proper adjective derived from the proper noun "France."

A compound adjective too could help. Compound adjectives are formed by combining two or more adjectives to modify a noun. 

Here are some examples:

1. Blue-eyed Glass

2. Well-known Author

3. Hardworking  efforts.

4. Open-minded leadership

5. High-pitched sound.

6. Cold-hearted character.

7. Three-dimensional effects.

8. Old-fashioned items.

9. Red-hot metal

10. Fast-paced or self-paced Learning

11. 5-week course

12. Intensive learning

In each case, the compound adjective adds specificity and nuance to the noun it modifies, and they could go a long way to help become more creative

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online commu
