? In your opinion, which is better method of enabling better environmental management in developing countries: the use of policies or development programmes?
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Hey Joseph,
I afraid that you and I will confiscate the debate...
UNEP just launched yesterday during the Eyes of the Eartth Summit in Abu Dhabi a Guideline on Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration which sets out three fundamental rights: access to
information, access to public participation and access to justice, as key pillars of sound
environmental governance. The âaccess rightsâ have emerged to be very important in
promoting transparent, inclusive and accountable environmental governance. Access to
information empowers citizens and incentivizes them to participate in decision and policy
making processes in an informed manner. Public participation is increasingly being seen
as a vital part of addressing environmental problems and bringing about sustainable
development by allowing governments to adopt policies and enact laws that take
community needs into account. Access to justice provides the foundation of the other
âaccess rightsâ as it facilitates the publicâs ability to enforce their right to participate, to
be informed, and to hold regulators and polluters accountable for environmental harm.
As you can see, this introduction underpins four other important Pillar: LEARN-ENGAGE- PARTICIPATE and VISUALISE. These are what MyUNEA.org platform is offering to civil society organizations in order to ensure their voice count.

i strongly feel that the current education curriculum is inadequate in equipping the young generation on sensitive environmental issues.Are there any programmes that UNEP has put in place that can form partnerships with learning institutions so as to create environmental awareness among students in Africa, especially in Kenya ?
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Very interesting point Joseph. Extremely important point!
Indeed, tomorrow's leaders need to be equipped for tomorrow's challenges, and we must adequately prepare our children for the future they will inherit. That requires a commitment to providing children with environmental education that helps them become the educated thought leaders of tomorrow. I can re-assure you that UNEP have great experience developing training materials and educational tools such as the toxicology in the Classroom (see at: http://www.unep.org/chemicalsandwaste/POPsandScience/Pesticides/ToxicologyintheClassroom/tabid/104445/Default.aspx), The CD-based Resource Tool Toxicology in the Classroom aims at raising awareness among young students about potential adverse effects of chemicals and help reduce careless use of pesticides.
Since last 6-7 years, UNEP has engaged in developing MAINSTREAMING programmes with the mains to integrate the Environment into national planning exercises. This set of programmes are part of the main innovative ideas developed to provide coherent and inclusive responses to WHY our environment is important, WHAT are the mains pillars, WHO has to be involve at the national, subregional and regional level while discussing issue related to environment. The development of this mainstreaming approach generate within UNEP a new paradigm in addressing challenges facing by our environment. For example, What is the cost of inaction for the sound chemical management? What are the benefits of action?
And now... are you Joseph and colleagues ready to campaign for a safe environment? Are we all ready to paid the human, material, organizational [...] cost for a Healthy environment which WE Healthy people might deserved?
We need another discussion session isn't it?
To add on the debate, let us also add few positive interesting and benefits points of environmental education:
Environmental education should not be confined to the classroom and not aimed only at children; despite the formal ring to the term âeducationâ, it has life-long relevance to people from all walks of life. It is also increasingly recognised that environmental education is not a ânice-to-haveâ peripheral activity, but an integral part of the sustainable socio-economic development that is required to achieve equality and a better quality of life for all.
Environmental education ideally does not deal with bio-physical environments and heritage resources in isolation from their social, cultural, economic and political aspects. There is also a strong emphasis on methods that:
i. Go beyond awareness raising through messages, to developing the learnersâ ability to move from current action to better action (environmentally sustainable practices);
ii. Are interactive, encouraging learners (youth and adults) to participate actively in the learning process by asking questions, making contributions, investigating issues and developing solutions with others;
iii. Encourage critical thinking and a disposition to not take information at face value;
iv. Address social and cultural values and commitments;
v. Help learners solve problems and make informed decisions;
vi. Develop the ability to act with understanding (capacity building).
I am sure that you guys, being in the academic domain, will better identity key findings that I can do!

1. Are there uniform international standards in the accounting for the value of natural resources in the economy?
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Dear Joseph,
I recall that this theme was part of the debates at the World Trade Organization few year ago and a very important publication was issued, which I provide the link here:https://www.wto.org/english/res_e/reser_e/ersd201207_e.pdf.
Not sure whether the publication was update and I hope you will find it useful.
More importantly, the problem of protecting natural resources also stressed the need for citizen participation in intergovernmental processes and how social media can help in creating a social movement towards UNEA.
A lot is happening. With a civil society on board, It will bring more strength and arguments to ongoing discussion and build an inclusive and integrated solution for a healthy environment.
I invite you to edit your profile on Myunea.org and be part of the discussion, be part of the history.

3. How can the resident community of a certain area be involved in the Restoration, Preservation and Protection of Natural Resources?
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Dear Joseph,
Just to speak in a very simple way, teaching people about tree will safe the tree for a cut... Training the population on water preservation and water quality will enabled them to protect their water source and improve the sanitation. It is well demonstrate how empowering people give them the ownership of their environment. I think that among many other options, these seems to be the most realistic as it does not involve necessarily money and heavy planning, but rather re-organisation.
Information access and dissemination on such important issue is also very important. Community can be organize around what is most important to them: Water and... life.
Then, the next step could be How decent sanitation and access to drinking water and good sanitation contribute to an Healthy environment for healthy people... we are there... we are at the UNEA Already!!! Let this be our motive and let us also plan to exchange on this. You are from the Academia and I am sure that you know better that we does at UNEP how the applied science findings can leverage living conditions and thus... contributing to an healthy environment. the MyUNEA.org platform is the place where such debate can take place, involving a multi-stakeholder approach and contribute to major outcomes. Please visit the site and bring in your suggestion and we will organize this discussion for you and with you. Mobile people around you, get them involve for the achievement of SDGs and the 2030. Bring your voice at: https://www.myunea.org

joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Dear Joseph,
Just a little addition:
You are probably aware that the theme for the next United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) is: "Delivering on the environmental dimension of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030". A highlight at the core of the session ministers will discuss how to achieve a 'Healthy Environment for Healthy People'. There is a strong linkage between your today concern and the theme of the next UNEA2. I would like to engage you and your group in participating to the e-discussion which will be organized as we are moving towards the UNEA2. I therefore look forward to seeing you playing an important role during e-discussion.
Please visit: https://www.myunea.org and also have your say!

3. Land tenure issues health and sanitation are major problems in slums. How can legislation and policies help in solving these issues?
Mokaya Eric
(from Kenya)
Dear Eric,
Providing water and sanitation services to the urban poor often takes place in contexts with complex formal and informal land ownership arrangements. Firstly, the people in most need of improved water and sanitation are often tenants, and this raises diverse challenges: for example, landlords may be unwilling to invest in better toilets. Secondly, improving water and sanitation services often requires land for construction of communal or public facilities, and land tenure again raises diverse problems here.
This Topic which we are discussing demonstrate how the dynamics of tenure and tenancy underpin the incentives and priorities of the major stakeholders in improving basic services. The poor living conditions of low-income settlements with high tenancy rates are a result of a lack of investment by all parties. Lack of adequate space for basic services is a result of informal urban development that exceeds the capacity of town planning. Tenure and tenancy dynamics can be complex and strongly rooted in political and historical underpinnings. Understanding how these dynamics influence different programme options is key to developing appropriate basic services for the urban poor.
While also answering to we found this very interesting publication which I recommend you.
This is also an example of multi-stakeholder approach for problem solving and sharing ideas and experiences are key.
I would encourage you and your colleagues to continue engaging in such experience sharing and information exchange, using MyUNEA.org whereas it possible.
Finally, Eric, I would also wish to refer you to the work of my colleagues from the
International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC) on water and Sanitation.
Hope it helps,

2. How can public private partnership assist in slums upgrading of slums upgrading and what other strategies can the government put in place in place to help upgrade slums? In terms of infrastructure and housing
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Dear Joseph,
Slums are the spontaneous response of the poor to their own needs for shelter in cities. They are essentially a private phenomenon, which responds to market incentives and distortions without extensive government interference. Slums form part of the informal economy, and they house many of the informal economyâs actors. Slums thrive and grow because a significant amount of economic activity contributes to the provision of basic shelter, water, food, energy, and other goods to slum dwellers. Slum dwellers are often entrepreneurs themselves, but their demand also attracts other informal entrepreneurs.
The formal private sector has played a role in slum creation as well as the role of injured party, defendant of property rights, or passive landlord. Private landowners may even be complicit with the âland invasionsâ and âinformal land developersâ that establish slums on their property because it opens the opportunity to charge rent to inhabitants while legally reserving the right to evict squatters when better opportunities for commercial development arise
I would also like to invite you to visit an excellent resource portal which my colleagues from the Ecosystem management and land degradation have created. I am sure that you will find a very useful tool to continue the research which you and your team are working on. Please visit:http://www.unep.org/ecosystemmanagement/

1. What are the major factors that contribute to growth of slums in urban areas and how can they be controlled
joseph mugo
(from Kenya)
Dear Joseph,
This is a excellent question and of course of concern to you and your network.
MyUNEA.org is a place where discussion on Environmental Health issue should also take place.
While forwarding this specific question to a more large expert network, I will also count on your colleagues at the University of Nairobi to share their thoughts on this issue of concern.
Meanwhile, I would like to add few words on (1) Why do slums develop and if possible (2) How can they be controlled.
(1) What are factors that contribute to growth of slums?
Slums are not a new phenomenon. They have been part of the history of most cities, particularly in the early years of urbanisation and industrialisation as populations boomed. Slums are generally the only type of settlement affordable and accessible to the poor in cities, where competition for land and profits is intense.
There are two main reasons why slums develop: population growth and governance.
> Population growth
Countries around the world are urbanising rapidly as more people migrate from rural areas to the cities and natural population growth continues to occur. Today, more than half the worldâs population resides in urban areas. More than 90 percent of this urban growth is taking place in the developing world.
Urban migration happens for a number of reasons:
i) The pushing and pulling forces of migration. Some people migrate because they are pushed out of their place of origin by factors such as natural disasters or sustained ecological changes. Others are pulled to a new destination by better job prospects, education, health facilities, or freedom from restrictive social or cultural realities.
ii) Low incomes from agriculture. Most people in rural areas work in the agricultural sector, which is highly dependent on weather. Also, rural land is limited, its fertility sometimes low or declining, land holdings are small, farm debts are high, and many households have become landless. As a result, overall rural incomes are low.
iii) Better job prospects. In comparison with rural areas, urban areas offer dramatically increased job opportunities. In addition, because urban cultures are often less constrained than those in villages, cities can also offer greater prospects of upward social mobility.
iv) People know what cities can offer them. Most migrants make a deliberate choice to stay or leave in rural areas. Improved transport, communications and links with earlier migrants have all made rural populations much more aware of the advantages and disadvantages of urban life, especially regarding job opportunities and housing.
v) Urban migration is often a survival strategy for rural households. Sometimes, rural households split into several groups located in different placesârural areas, small towns, and big citiesâin order to diversify their sources of income and be less vulnerable to economic downturns.
> Governance
Another reason slums develop is bad governance. Governments often fail to recognize the rights of the urban poor and incorporate them into urban planning, thereby contributing to the growth of slums.
In addition, many countries simply cannot respond to rapid urbanization quickly enough. People are coming to cities far faster than the planning process can incorporate them. Often, they find their own land and build a shack before the government has a chance to learn of their existence.
The attitude of a government towards urbanization is also an important component. Some governments take a hostile approach to urbanization. They believe that if they provide urban services to the poor, it will attract urbanization and cause the slums to grow. The problem with this view is that very few people come to the city for water or servicesâthey come looking for work.
In other cases, governments take more of a passive approach to urbanization. They either do not have the planning tools to deal with the rapid urbanization that is happening, or the tools in place are not sufficiently responsive to the reality on the ground.
(2) How can we control the slums?
Slums are a result of the economic forces that pull people towards cities. Global neoliberalism structured the market such that previously subsistence agricultural land became privatized and dominated by a few large farm producers. Looking for employment after declining rural prospects, the masses made up of peasants and landless tenants moved to the cities.
However, this issue remains a bit controversial as it involves multiple entry point and parameters such as:
- a mass explosion in population and urbanization;
- the industrial revolution in which economic growth occurred alongside industrialization;
- urbanization and population growth without economic development;
- Scarcity of employment and lack of access to basic services and housing creates an informal sector defined by improvised slum dwellings and black market commerce.
Urban bias and over urbanization created an unbalanced and ultimately stagnant economy in which the majority of the population did not have access to formal employment. The core principles of neoliberalism include deregulation, privatization and minimal public infrastructure and render basic infrastructure and services (housing, utilities) unattainable for those inhabiting slum settlements. Consequently, billions of people are excluded from formal employment and housing. Many live in unsanitary and crowded conditions, lack clean water or plumbing and have no legal rights to the land they occupy.
Solving this complex issue would mean to rethink the way cities ate conceived, built and interconnected. Its call for a massive investments on urbanization, building new cities integrating findings from major UN agencies, green cities using green energy and materials with less footprint on the ecosystem, respecting Air quality standard etc...
Another domain where civil society organization have to engage, participate, said their words...
MyUNEA.org is the forum where such discussion can take place.

On our way back to Chiang Mai we stopped at the Promanada Mall to enjoy a cup of coffee and macarons. Yes, that is the way they spell it. The mall was picturesque.

1st I had a message of battery voltage low, and by the time I was trying to take my car to a mechanic after work, I lost all my other systems. ie. air cond, dummy lights came on for ABS and Airbags, then all my gauges dropped and the car died. Had to charge it 3 times to make it to the mechanic. He is charging quite a bit and I was trying to figure out if it was something we could manage ourselves or not. I don't think I will try it. lol And I can't tell you how much I appreciate your answers. I spent 4 hours yesterday trying to find the info you have given me immediately. THANK YOU!
Do you have to pull the engine to replace the alternator on my car or can it just come out and be replaced?
I can not find anything anywhere on where my alternator is located in my car.

Natalie Portman's Directorial Debut & Paper Towns' Nat WolffBy Gerri Miller
See how Portman is making her big splash in Israel and don't miss Paper Towns with Nat WolffGo To Pop Culture
In many cultures, there are ways of remembering dead people who were important to us. In the United States, for example, families go to visit relatives who died in the military on Memorial Day. In Ashkenazi Jewish culture, there is a custom of lighting a candle on the anniversary, or in Yiddish, the yahrzeit, of the person's death. Some families also light a memorial candle when they do holiday candle-lighting before holidays when there is a memorial service, called Yizkor. Some people continue to light yahrzeit candles for the rest of their lives.
Visits to the graves of family members are an important part of Jewish folk culture. Some have the custom of visiting at the Jewish New Year. Jews of Eastern European origin usually leave a small stone on the headstone of the grave rather than flowers. Even after the year of mourning has ended, mourners continue to feel the loss of the person who has died, and Jewish cultural practices acknowledge this.
The Guide to Death and Mourning for Interfaith Families is also available as a downloadable PDF and Word document.

To build a Styrofoam igloo, cut Styrofoam blocks in half, hollow them out, fill each block with a plastic bag full of water, glue the blocks together, stack them, and shave the outside of the upper blocks to create a dome shape. This three-hour project requires large Styrofoam blocks, a box cutter, plastic freezer bags, water, strong glue, a chef's knife and several sheets of fine-grained sandpaper.Know More
Cut a Styrofoam block in half, and hollow out the middle of each piece Pour water into a plastic freezer bag, and place the bag in the hollow. Stack the Styrofoam halves and glue them back together. Repeat this procedure with the other blocks.
Place a single layer of filled Styrofoam blocks in a circle, but leave out the last four blocks so you have room for the tunnel. Lay the foundation for the tunnel by making a straight row of blocks on both sides of the gap.
Glue the foundation blocks together.
Stack one layer of blocks on top of the foundation, and glue them in place. Lay the third layer, and then push each block slightly toward the middle of the igloo. Glue the blocks in place. Use the same technique for each additional layer.
Use a chef's knife to shave the exterior of the igloo into a smooth shape. Finish it by sanding the Styrofoam until no rough angles remain.

For the petals, cut squares of colored duct tape, then fold the top two corners towards the middle, creating a point. For just the first one, roll tightly and attach to the top of the stem with a piece of tape to form the center, for all others, wrap the sticky part around the stem to form petals. Continue to make additional petals as needed and attach them until your flower is full, then use the same process to make leaves from green duct tape.Full Answer >

Mossberg Maverick 88 Shotgun Review Low Cost Prepping Options
What do you think about this video?
AngelsLastVengeance: Good video, and I totally agree with you about racking the slide in a home defense situation. Bad idea to give your position away. I love my Maverick 88. It's a damn reliable gun, and fun as hell to shoot. As far as the forends, I've never actually seen an aftermarket forend specifically made for the 88 models. I recently swapped my 88 forend out for a 500 forend, which required replacement of the entire assembly. Got the 500 slide action tube, forend, forend nut, and the forend nut wrench for $124.00 from Midway. All replacement parts were factory Mossberg parts. Besides having the capability to easily swap forends now, the action also feels much smoother. Having a pistol grip stock on my 88, I definitely prefer the crossbar safety. I personally wouldn't put a pistol grip stock on a 500 or 590 due to the location of the tang safety.
Aaron Richards: U don't wanna run in this guys house at night lol he don't play and he's dying to catch a body haha . Respect good is video I'm getting one
emaroquin: Last year burglars entered my home and took everything while I was on vacations. Since then, maybe this will sound kind of crazy, but I would like to blow a burglar's head off if they try to enter to my home.
Tom Strait: I bought my moss berg maverick 88 about 2 years ago. When I watched your video I noticed a problem that you had with the stiffness with charging the next shell when it's used in cold weather. I also had the same problem with mine. You asked for anybody to give you advice on that issue. I'm not a gunsmith by any means but I did my research and completely fixed the "sticky" issue. This is what I did. I went and bought a cheep set of small precision files from harbor freight tools. Next I took the shotgun apart. Once it was disassembled I took all of the metal parts that are functioning pieces and I filed down all of the sharp edges because these parts are not forged the are machine pressed and not finished completely. So give all of those edges a slight filing to knock off the rough edges and then reassemble. When I put mine back together I used a stuff called REM OIL, which is the only lubricant I use now.

The "Just My Random Videos" Channel: Good review. For me a shotgun is the absolute most versatile weapon on earth. From the muzzle to about 130 yards there is nothing else I would rather use. Buckshot for close range stuff out to 25 yards and anything beyond that distance I switch over to slugs.
Rodney McGlone: You can change forearm to a Mossberg 500 but you have to replace some other part
mvol5973: I bought one of these brand new 10 years ago for $170, after 10 years I have absolutely no complaints. As this video says the gun does have some recoil but it's a shotgun. Gun is extremely reliable, can't beat the cost, this gun has stood up to everything I have put it through without failure.
N smith: got mine from a buddy at a local shop for 120 bucks... best purchase gun wise I've ever made.
Aaron Olson: The 20 inch version u can run it 8+1 instead of 7+1 with critical defence 00 buck im not sure on the 18.5 inch if it would work or not
danny luong: Do you need anything special to add a sling ?
Tevorek: Can you put a 28" barrel on this gun if you wanted to go hunting with it or something?
Brandon Brown (Francois Kutz): Where can I find the handle grip for one of these? How much the cost?
Jason Jordan: Im going to get one, less than a month ago a neighbor thought she was going to force her fat nasty ass in my place to get at my wife. I backed her down with a bat but next time it may not be a fat ass, it may be a fat ass with a weapon.
Kameron Lopez: If you are recoil sensitive by the mosberg maverick 88 20 gauge

Life on the road can get a bit lonesome at times, but when you're traveling with a friend, it's always an adventure, just ask Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea.
Long before the two teamed up for their collaboration "Black Widow," off of Iggy's album The New Classic, the labelmates traveled Europe in early 2013 for Rita's tour.
So when the two blonde beauties stopped by "Live From MTV" on Monday, we put them to a friendship test, asking them who is more likely to elope in Las Vegas (Rita,) who is their favorite Spice Girl and who is more likely to buy a really expensive pair of shoes (Iggy).
"She [Rita] has a party bus. I, like, wrap my hair up and clean stuff," Iggy said before later adding. "I have fun. I have OCD that's my problem."
Rita continued, "She'd come on my bus and be like 'This is a mess."
"I get up in the morning and reorganize the fridge," Iggy added. "It annoys me to have a dirty fridge, it's so gross."
However, this self-proclaimed "old lady," certainly has a feisty side, just ask Rita Ora's sound man.
"It was the last day of our tour and I was late on stage by literally five minutes, but he cut my sound off halfway through my last song and I'm like, 'You're the biggest jerk. Just chill out, it's the last show,' " Iggy explained. "So we got all these snowballs and when he was doing the set and he was like 'Can I help you with anything?' and we were like 'yes' and threw it in his face, but he was such a jerk, he had it coming for him, he needed a snowball in his face and it was the last night and its like 'What are you gonna do, kick us off the tour? It's over."

Tech News & Commentary
E-commerce leader Amazon.com (AMZN) has opened an online store to sell 3D printers and supplies, providing another proof point that 3D printing technology is going mainstream.
The store features consumer 3D printers mostly from lesser-known manufacturers, including U.S.-based Afinia and Airwolf 3D Printers and China-based FlashForge and Mbot3D. It also is selling Cube 3D printers from 3D Systems (DDD) through a reseller. As of Thursday afternoon, Amazon's 3D printer store also was selling pre-owned MakerBot 3D printers.
The Amazon store also offers 3D printing supplies such as plastic filament, as well as how-to books.
Visitors look at a MakerBot 3D printer printing an object during the Inside 3D Printing conference in New York on April 22. Getty View Enlarged Image
3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, is the process of creating a three-dimensional solid object replica of a digital computer model. The physical object is built one layer at a time with various materials, usually types of plastic.
Office supply store Staples (SPLS) announced last month that it would sell the Cube printer from 3D Systems in stores and on its website. The Cube, which lists for $1,300, is targeted at professional artists, hobbyists, small businesses and educators.
The size of the consumer market for 3D printers is a big unknown. Some analysts say 3D printers could follow an adoption path similar to that of personal computers, while others say it will remain a niche. To date, the biggest market for 3D printers has been rapid prototyping of designs for manufacturing and industrial firms.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings fans the latest news and inside information on the Brewers
Nothing new with Kendall
I just talked to Brewers general manager Doug Melvin about his meeting Tuesday night with Arn Tellem, the agent for catcher Jason Kendall.
Melvin explained to Tellem that he doesn't want to spend $5 million on a starting catcher, as he did with Kendall last year. The Brewers are trying to marshall their resources to go after pitching help.
"We explained our situation to him, what we're trying to do," said Melvin. "He said he'll talk to Jason about it.
"We do have two young catchers, but we might also look at other catchers out there on the market. We owe Jason the respect for what he's done to stay in touch."
So, Tellem and Kendall probably will now test the free-agent market to see what else is out there before accepting a sizable pay cut to return to Milwaukee. As I wrote last night, Melvin said he is tempted to see what catching prospect Jonathan Lucroy can do, and he has another prospect in Angel Salome, also.
Melvin might find a veteran backup catcher on the market and match him with Lucroy to split time at catcher next year, saving money to spend on pitching.
Tellem also represents free-agent lefty Randy Wolf, a pitcher in whom the Brewers have interest. Melvin said Wolf is looking for a multi-year deal after a nice 2009 season with the Dodgers and said "there's a possibility" the two sides will talk again.

Jock Itch - Topic Overview
What is jock itch?
Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a form of ringworm. Ringworm is not a worm at all. It is a fungal infection of the outer layers of skin, hair, or nails. Fungi (plural of fungus) are present everywhere in our environment.
Ringworm of the skin appears as a rash with patches that may be red or peeling or that have bumps on the edges that look like blisters. The skin often is itchy, and the rash can spread quickly. You can have both jock itch and athlete's foot (tinea pedis) at the same time.

Going Bald: It's All in Your Head
Sitting in high school biology, listening to the teacher drone on about genetics, I snapped to attention when she used male pattern baldness as an example of a dominant trait. My heart started pounding with fear - with bald men on both sides of my mother's family as far as the eye could see, I was doomed to have a chrome dome. I remained anguished about the prospect of being bald for the next 20 years as my hairline retreated and my hair steadily thinned. Bald men seemed disfigured to me. I felt...
Read the Going Bald: It's All in Your Head article > >
What causes jock itch?
Jock itch is caused by a fungus. Fungi commonly grow on or in the top layer of skin. They may or may not cause an infection. Fungi grow best in warm, moist areas of the body such as the groin, inner thighs, and buttocks.
As the name suggests, jock itch mostly affects male athletes, but anyone can get it. Using public showers and locker rooms increases your chances of getting jock itch. Fungi grow best in the steamy rooms among damp towels, sweaty workout clothes, and wet floors. So it's not surprising that jock itch and athlete's foot often occur at the same time, since both are caused by fungi.
What are the symptoms of jock itch?
Symptoms of jock itch include the following:
- Itching and pain are common.
- A rash is on the groin, skin folds, inner thighs, or buttocks. The rash usually does not occur on the scrotum or penis.
- The edge of the rash is very distinct and may be scaly or have bumps that look like blisters.
- The center of the rash may have a red-brown color.
How is jock itch diagnosed?
Jock itch is annoying, but it usually is not serious. If you have had jock itch in the past, you may recognize the symptoms. Your doctor can tell if you have jock itch after asking questions about your symptoms and past health and by looking at your rash. Your doctor may scrape a little of the rash on a glass slide so that he or she can look at it under a microscope.

An enjoyable 2 day trip to Inverness. Joe, our guide, was amazing. He was very laid back and always had a smile on his face. He was informative, interesting and funny. On the 2nd day, he gave us the option to visit a castle or go on several short hikes - we chose the short hikes - it was beautiful! Inverness it a great town and the Bed and Breakfast we stayed in was clean and roomy. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was good. I highly recommend this trip to see this part of Scotland.

Outstanding! Our Rabbie's guide, Pete M., was knowledgable, entertaining and enthusiastic. While the highlight of the tour was the boat tour of Loch Ness and visit to Urquard castle, our many other stops throughout the Highlands provided an appreciation of the history, natural wonder, and beauty of the region. Among the highlights: scotch tasting at Dalwhinnie distillery, the beauty of Glen Coe and Ben Nevis, and the Highland Folk museum. We even had time to stop at Doune Castle, used in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. Even The weather was perfect! My overnight accommodation in Inverness was at the Craigmonie Hotel, a comfortable and welcoming place. A minor complaint-I wish I could have had a choice of hotel options as I would have preferred to be In the town center. My travel companions that booked directly through the local tour company had more specific options. I cannot emphasize how great Pete was as our guide--I would certainly request his services on a future tour.
