'Trade secret'?

Ultimately what we seek are protocols for a series of tests that ascertain what
the best drug for each patient is at a given time in the development of the

Innovation, more often than not, comes about by looking at a problem differently. So, unemployment could be looked at as either:

Or:

PEOPLE not having jobs!

Japan chose the latter, and is offering a ‘citizenship buyout’ to people of Japanese origin who were born abroad, but are now settled in the country. Weird, possibly effective, and very creative!
