For the LPHA's Ninth Annual Conference, a broad range of topics related to health and determinants of health of Palestinians living inside and outside the occupied Palestinian territory are welcome. Studies may focus on any issue relevant to Palestinian health, such as, but not limited to communicable and non-communicable diseases, nutrition, water and sanitation, health and human security, equity and health, the political and social determinants of health, health and human rights, demography and population, occupational health, mental health, refugee and internally displaced people and health, women's health, child health and protection, disability and health, health services and access to health services, health system and health insurance, surveys of health care and public health practice, evaluations of clinical and public health practices, research syntheses relevant to Palestinian health, and professional education, training and development, among other topics.
Abstracts should be around 500 words in length, and written in English. The expectation is that structured abstracts will be appropriate for most of the summaries of research submitted. These should include a. Background, b. Methods, c. Findings, and d. Interpretation whenever appropriate. Abstracts should also include the full names and affiliations of all abstract authors, and the email address of the corresponding author.
Abstracts should be sent to the email address below no later than November 12, 2017. They will be peer reviewed by an expert committee composed of Palestinian, regional and international scientists. Any abstract that relates to a study for which data are currently unavailable but expected to be available for presentation at the conference should be accompanied by a copy of the study protocol.
Participants will be informed in early January 2018 whether their submission has been successful in being selected for presentation at the conference, either as oral presentations, or as posters. Selected abstracts will be collated and distributed by email to conference attendees.
Authors of selected abstracts should submit slides for oral presentations if appropriate to support a 15 minute presentation, or the full text for poster presentations. These should be sent by email, no later than February 19, 2018. Deadlines will be strictly adhered to.


It was a heckuva day at Dogpatch USA.
I got the thrill of a lifetime and another notch in my Arkansas Experience belt the day I was was able to thoroughly explore Dogpatch USA. It was all happenstance, which makes it even better, and now I finally have my own personal memories at Dogpatch USA.
Growing up, I'd heard of it. The theme park based off the Li'l Abner comic strip, Dogpatch USA operated from 1968-1993. I never went as a child, but the pictures of it in its height of popularity made it clear that this place was amazing. There's tons of footage online, check it out.
I remember being in college back in early 2000s and heading to the Buffalo River for a float trip and seeing signs of the park through the trees off Hwy 7. Hearing the rumors of its demise, the folklore surrounding some of the circumstances; rumors of trespassers and what locals did to protect the park from vandals, and the previous owners involvement in a lawsuit only added to my intrigue. And then finding out from locals that rumors were actually true. Throw in some boobie traps and a near decapitation and my interest was peaked. That's never stopped. There's something incredibly spooky about an abandoned theme park in the hills and, like many, I've held an odd fascination with Dogpatch and its sordid past.
After running our vintage shop for the past eight years, I've seen countless Dogatch souvenirs come through. Everything from cardboard KickAPoo Juice cartons to Schmoo pennants and bumper stickers. These items are highly collectible; they sell fast and always hold value. More often than not, the original owners kept them in pristine condition, indicating how valuable their collection, and the memories attached to their collection, was to them. Every time a customer purchased one of these items, I'd hear more stories of their childhood, happy memories, all trying to have a tangible reminder of their time at Dogpatch USA. All the factors combined over all these years really made me want to see this special place nestled in the northwest corner of the state for myself.
Rumors have swirled in recent years over the intentions of different owners, bold proclamations made to restore and reopen, have been left unanswered or unattended. What really is going on in this ghost town that was once an Arkansas institution?
Enter a gentleman named Bud Pelsor who came along on his white wolf (for real, he has a beautiful pet wolf named Ms. Arkansas Diamond, Dia for short) and saved the day. Bud happened upon Dogpatch when it was open and thriving in its early years as he was traveling through. He was amazed by it. By the time he returned to Arkansas to actually visit the park, it had closed for good. And there it sat.
Then, by wind of his business associate Jim, he found out the park was up for sale. Neither wanted to see it bulldozed and both were given promises of grant money and support if they purchased, so they took a leap of faith and did. In 2014, Dogpatch USA had a new owner! Volunteers came in droves to help clean it up, spending every bit of one hundred days cleaning and doing patchwork repair before opening it on special occasions to the public. They hosted two Riverwalk weekends, folks showed up by the thousands to explore, huge crowds had HWY 7 backed up for miles. Last year they hosted artisan and craft shows, live music. Clearly, the love was still there from the general public and Dogpatch fans.
Unfortunately, those promises of grant monies and big name support were empty ones and it "left me with my pants down and exposed to chiggers," Bud said. Realizing they were in over their heads, Jim and Bud made the tough decision to sell.
That's when David Hare came along. It was announced in late 2017 that a company called Heritage USA, INC had big plans to renovate, rejuvenate, and protect the park. The public was, once again, delighted. Jim and Bud did their financial due diligence, but not personal. By all appearances, David's team was well managed with a solid lease to purchase option. No sooner were they in to it, Bud saw the writing on the wall.
Huge promises were made by Heritage. But the only successful thing Mr. Hare managed to do was burn bridges with everyone around him. All his constituents left him. Once his entourage left, he was done. Past due bills piled up, he got further behind on his lease, and never delivered on any of the promises from his YouTube Heritage videos. According to Bud, he left town about a month ago. David Hare is back in California, he no longer has anything to do with Dogpatch USA. Even though, according to Wikipedia, he was continuing to "make videos advertising the park, and vacationers had paid and left deposits on hotel rooms, the hotel was vacant and utilities were cut off, while Hare and Heritage USA had become unreachable".
The day I got to explore Dogpatch, we started out early morning in the portion of the park that is currently back up for sale. In person, it was obvious Heritage USA, INC had folded on its leased portion of the park; their plans to revitalize at a devastating standstill. It is maintained for walkability in landscaping but otherwise neglected. You could still follow some of the tracks of the West Po'k Chop Speshul Railroad guiding you around the park, the abandoned water slide looming at the center of it all. We toured each building, combing through cobwebs, shattered glass, the dusty remnants left behind. It was fun piecing together what was left in the buildings, trying to determine what its original purpose was. We saw evidence of the trout fishing area and the restaurant that would cook what you caught. The River Bend theater still with original theater seats inside; I wanted to purchase all of them, they were amazing. The giant fiberglass Arkansas Razorback nestled in the trees. In the four hours we were there, we covered a large majority of the park. The place has been picked completely clean of all signage, anything Dogpatch related has been stolen or vandalized. On top of that, when left in the elements, there were areas not safe to traverse. Seeing missing wooden planks on the swinging bridge and gaps of stairs climbing the tower of the slide made it clear some boundaries were not made to be pushed. Still, the iconic Dogpatch shone through the dilapidated conditions. The moment we stumbled across the iconic kissing stones, I was like a kid in a candy store.
And what did shine through, despite all the dusty dirt, the smildew, the neglect, was the attention to detail. If you wiped through layers of dust, you found beautiful textured Victorian style wallpaper peeking behind the old shooting range arcade game. The fiberglass comb as an entrance to the honey hut. The amazing rough cut lumber and log beams still with bark attached. You could see the details everywhere in creating this authentic rustic vibe for the fictional town in the hills. What surprised us most was how structurally sound many of the buildings were, including some that preexist Dogpatch. For example, the water wheel powered Grist Mill that dates to the 1840's and Ozark mountain sourced cabins with hand hewn logs. In my mind's eye I began to imagine it in pristine condition, full of people and laughter and chatter, food and cheer. I wish I could have seen this place in the seventies. In spite of the vandals and thieves, in spite of the ravages of time and elements, the buildings that remain stand strong and proud as a testimony to the craftsmanship and materials used to create Dogpatch.
As eerie as it was strolling through empty streets, you really could feel the magic this place once held. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Newton County, it came from a simpler time. Comic strips of days gone by may not have the staying power of Disney, but it did for this part of the country during its time. The simplicity of that is something that is lost on today's population. The thrills of Dogpatch wouldn't hold a candle to today's theme parks, but that's the beauty of it. It was never meant to. It truly is a one of a kind kind of place.
Now Dogpatch USA is 100% back in Bud's hands; the park itself is back up for sale. Bud welcomes patrons to Dogpatch. He has asked for folks to reach out to him via Facebook to make arrangements at the Dogpatch Official Event Page. All he asks is for patrons to sign a waiver and pay him a $5 fee per person. This allows visitors to explore the park, fish, (catch and release) bring a picnic, that simplicity tickles him, "Anything plus is a plus. Little adds up to big." He's even planning a Halloween party on Oct 26th with live music, food trucks, and ghost tours with local paranormal groups.
"Nothing in my life has ever been mediocre, nothing has ever been easy." Bud is the right man for the job. His heart is in the right place, further encouraging the spirit of Dogpatch through his dedication to the park and now finding the new owner to carry the torch. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to meet him through this process. To say he's now a friend is very awesome. I'm already planning a return trip to see him and check out his collections. And meet Dia.
The history of Dogpatch is a fascinating one. From it originally drawing audiences with its fictional world of Li'L Abner, to its rumors and unfortunate demise, there is no denying Dogpatch USA still holds us all captive. I highly encourage you to go and explore the beauty of Newton County and make your own new memories in Dogpatch USA. I did and it was the best day I've had in a long, long time.

Advancing US Security Through Foreign Military Sales
By: and Ambassador Tina Kaidanow August 30, 2016
Yemeni government forces' tanks and armoured vehicles watch as tanks pass on the road leading to the southwestern port of Mokha after they recaptured the town from Shiite Huthi rebels on January 23, 2017. An official statement said government forces recaptured the whole city, but a military commander in the field told AFP that loyalists were still fighting the rebels on the southern outskirts of Mokha. / AFP / SALEH AL-OBEIDI (Photo credit should read SALEH AL-OBEIDI/AFP/Getty Images)
The US Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system — a mechanism by which the US government transfers defense articles and services to partner nations — is a central element in our foreign policy toolkit. In addition to the superior quality of U.S. defense articles and services, what sets this system apart is our "Total Package Approach." No other country offers partner nations the same comprehensive up-front planning and foresight. FMS involves anticipating not only the partner's requirement for the weapons system itself, but also the associated initial and follow-on support and services necessary to deploy and sustain the system. This Total Package Approach, when paired with other key enablers such as assistance with doctrine and logistics, generates long-term capabilities for our partners that they may employ and sustain independently.
Recently, some have claimed that FMS is a broken system. We respectfully disagree. The FMS system, while burdened by the recent growth of US arms sales, is not broken. There is room for improvement, however, and the departments of State and Defense, along with other interagency stakeholders, are implementing a number of initiatives to make the system more responsive.
The FMS system is intentionally deliberative, reflecting the critical nature of these decisions. When Congress established the FMS program, it understood that arms sales needed to be carefully considered and controlled, consistent with US national security and foreign policy. As designed, the administration must consider issues involving technology transfer and the protection of sensitive information associated with each case, with Congress playing a vital oversight role. All major arms transfers require congressional notification and involve an extensive consultation process to address any potential concerns. This process, which may sometimes appear slow, is essential to ensuring that sales are consistent with US foreign and national security interests and policy.
Of the thousands of cases the Defense Security Cooperation Agency processes every year, few require more extensive review. There is no "one size fits all" approach to FMS, and each request is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The appearance that a particular sale is being "held up" is not a reflection of a flawed system; rather, it is the result of the deliberate discussion of complex technology or foreign policy issues.
At the same time, the departments of State and Defense are engaging key stakeholders across the interagency, as well as foreign partners, industry officials and Congress, to improve the FMS process. These efforts include working with our foreign partners and industry to better (and earlier) define requirements and align priorities; ensuring closer coordination with the procurement community to improve acquisition timelines; identifying ways to update, enhance and restructure our workforce training on refinements to the FMS process; and working to ensure the workforce meets current FMS requirements but also manages future needs effectively.
In addition to refinements to the existing processes, our departments are establishing new approaches. These include the expansion of the Special Defense Acquisition Fund, which enables us to buy ahead of need and deliver items to partners faster than the standard acquisition process. Additionally, the Lead Nation Procurement Initiative, a pilot program for NATO countries designed to support sales, allows for subsequent retransfer of items to other NATO partners, offering greater flexibility and cost savings while maintaining accountability.
These initiatives represent a robust effort across the interagency to enable the United States to remain the provider of choice for our foreign partners. As a result, our foreign partners understand and have confidence in the FMS system. They see the benefit of being able to "buy into" the US defense infrastructure and receive DoD-provided training support. Our partners have come to rely upon this system in the implementation of their national defense strategies, reflecting our shared international and defense interests.
The administration is committed to ensuring that FMS continues to advance and protect American national security interests, while helping our partners respond to the dynamic threats we collectively face today and in the future.
Ambassador Tina Kaidanow serves as principal deputy assistant secretary of state for the bureau of political-military affairs. Vice Adm. Joseph Rixey is the director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

Down but never out
Poetic, vital, witty - who'd have thought depression could make such an uplifting read? Andrew Solomon anatomises his breakdowns in The Noonday Demon
Nicci Gerrard
Sun 6 May 2001 13.01 EDT First published on Sun 6 May 2001 13.01 EDT
The Noonday Demon: an Anatomy of Depression
Andrew Solomon
Chatto & Windus £20, pp560
Buy it at a discount at BOL
'Depression is the flaw in love. To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose, and depression is the mechanism of that despair,' says Andrew Solomon at the start of his magnificent book.
In his first sweeping sentences, he gathers up the themes and even the words that will resonate through the following pages of linked autobiography, history, science, analysis, wrenched and luminous meditation on life and pain. Love, loss and despair ring out their melancholy notes. In depression, he says over and over again, life loses its meaning; the 'only feeling left in this loveless state is insignificance'.
Yet The Noonday Demon stands as a testament to all those qualities that are lost during times of deathly meaninglessness: it describes numbness with vitality, wretchedness with poetry, lovelessness with passion, fear with exuberance, slack-jawed horror with wit and tenderness, deadly silence with this fervent outpouring of words. Depression is a country that the undepressed can't enter, but Solomon, who has travelled there and knows it well, bends all his energy and talent as a writer to sending us snapshots from this terrifying land (mood, he writes, 'is a frontier like deep ocean or deep space'). The result is scary but far from dispiriting; at times, Solomon's voice, calling to us from beyond the frontier, achieves a lonely rapture.
Solomon writes that depression can only be evoked by metaphors (the abyss, the edge, the darkness). The first that he uses himself is of a tree wrapped around by a vine; at some point, the vine squeezes the life out of the tree. Then he talks of angels and demons: grief is like a humble angel that leaves us with a clear sense of our own depth; depression is the (noonday) demon that leaves you appalled.
Mild depression is gradual, like rust; it is too much grief at too slight a cause. Major depression is the stuff of breakdowns, not rust, but the startling collapse of the whole system. He has been gripped by major depression himself, when he was 'asphyxiated', 'split and racked', and 'every second of being alive hurt'. There was not even enough life left for tears, just 'the arid pain of total violation'. As you fall towards this living death, he says, the first thing that goes from you is happiness. The next is the sadness that led you here. Then your sense of humour, the belief in and capacity for love. You smell sour to your self, and thinned. Your face comes apart in the mirror. You have no ability to trust, to touch, to grieve: 'Eventually, you are simply absence.'
There were many days when he couldn't move, couldn't swing his legs out of bed, couldn't control his bodily functions; he could only lie in a corner and weep. He wanted to die but didn't have the energy to kill himself. He did, however, pick up gay men whom he thought might be HIV positive and have sex with them, in the hope he, too, would become infected. Solomon is well aware of the 'preposterousness' of his depression and the uselessness of tracking its causes.
He is a wealthy, white American, a privileged, healthy, admired writer, envied by many for his success, his wealth, his luck, his apparent gaiety and ease. He has many friends. He was reasonably happy as a child, although confused about his sexuality and sometimes gripped by panic. His first major breakdown occurred after the death of his beloved mother (an assisted suicide because of her terminal cancer. He, his father and brother sat by her bed and held her hands and wept while she swallowed handfuls of pills and told them how dearly she loved them) and the publication of his first novel.
But nothing 'explains' how three times he came to be laid so low, and how now he takes pills and sees a therapist to keep the demon at bay. He offers a set of simple instructions to other sufferers (listen to people who love you, seek out memories, block out terrible thoughts as they approach, be brave, exercise, eat). His book, he insists, was not cathartic, but a way of reaching out to others in their isolation, a way of explaining them to us. At its heart, it is deeply idealistic in its intent: 'Words are strong and love is the other way forwards.'
Solomon's experience of depression, which comes like a gale force wind and departs quietly, forms only part of The Noonday Demon, though it is the emotional undertow through the whole of it. He portrays the pain of others, in different cultures and histories, showing that far from being a disease of the wealthy and the leisured classes and of modernity, it has always been with us under different names. Hippocrates wrote about it, as did Homer, Galen, Thomas Aquinas, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Keats, Virginia Woolf and Freud.
The poor feel it (but, although depression cuts across all the classes, treatment of it does not), as do the the war-torn. He goes to Cambodia (where he was 'humbled down to the ground' by the courage of the people he met) and meets people who have lived through war and loss such as he can hardly imagine. One woman teaches him that the way through the darkness is by 'forgetting, working, loving'. He goes to Greenland, where up to 80 per cent of the population are depressed and the suicide rate is 0.35 per cent per year. He visits elderly people in homes; he goes to hospitals and slums.
He looks at the medical and alternative cures - anti-depressants, anxiety controllers, St John's Wort, exercise, work, food, massage, homoeopathy. He tries out different therapies (psychoanalysis, he says, is good at expressing depression, not good at changing it - it's like firing a machine gun at an incoming tide). He goes to talk groups. He gathers stories from all over the country, from sufferers and doctors, from people who have cut their flesh to ribbons and drunk themselves into stupors, from people who have been terribly abused, from people who have come out the other side.
More young people die of depression than of Aids, heart disease, pneumonia, cancer and strokes put together. One in 10 people in America is on drugs to help their moods. Five per cent of its teenagers are clinically depressed. Fifteen per cent of people who are depressed eventually kill themselves.
Some people kill themselves, Solomon says, to simplify things. He remembers thinking that he himself didn't have the energy to wash the dishes or take a shower, so he might as well go and die rather than face the mundane tasks that make up a day, a life. But while 'living death is not pretty, unlike dead death, it offers the hope for amelioration'.
Solomon is inclusive in his theories as well as his stories. There has long been a discussion about whether depression is an illness or an extreme version of ordinary sadness, whether it reveals or assaults a personality. Both, he says. What are the boundaries of identity, what do we mean by 'self'? If depression is 'just' chemical, so, too, is love. Medicine might release a sufferer from the trap, but it does not reinvent him or her. Depression springs like a beast from outside, yet is wired in the brain and runs through the veins. 'The real me lives in the world; the self exists in the narrow space where the world and our choices come together.' The depression he experiences is part of the man that he is.
What Solomon unequivocally and with a raw, sometimes disturbing, romanticism, believes in is the authenticity, even the gift, of his endured pain. To be happy all the time is a spooky, even terrifying idea or a form of idiocy. He quotes a Russian expression: if you wake up feeling no pain, you're dead. He quotes Ovid: 'Welcome this pain.' He believes his own grief and darkness have shown him the 'acreage and reach' of his soul. He writes that 'the individuality of each person's struggle is unbreachable' and that depression, 'like sex, retains an unquenchable aura of mystery. It is new every time'.
It is 'fire in the blood'; it nearly kills him but it produces from him words and poetry that he would not otherwise have uttered, and teaches him a better way of living and loving.
By the end of the book's long journey, he claims that he has learnt to love his depression as a way of learning to love himself. He knows it is lurking inside him still, and will one day probably ambush him again, but he closes with ardent, melancholy optimism: 'Each day I choose to be alive. Is that not a rare joy?'

El Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera de las Comunidades Autónomas (CPFF) de España es el órgano encargado de la coordinación entre la Hacienda Estatal y las comunidades autónomas, en materia fiscal y financiera. En su ámbito de sus competencias trata temas como el déficit del presupuesto de las comunidades autónomas o su volumen de endeudamiento.

Composición y funcionamiento
El Consejo está constituido por el ministro de Economía y Hacienda, el ministro de Administraciones Públicas y los consejeros de Hacienda de cada Comunidad o Ciudad Autónoma. El Consejo debe reunirse, como mínimo, dos veces al año.

El cargo de presidente está ostentado por el ministro de Hacienda y Administraciones Públicas y el de vicepresidente por un Consejero de Hacienda de una Comunidad o Ciudad Autónoma, elegido de entre ellas por sus representantes en el Consejo. También pueden asistir a invitación del Presidente, con voz pero sin voto, el Secretario de Estado de Administraciones Públicas, el Secretario de Estado de Hacienda y el Secretario de Estado de Presupuestos y Gastos, así como otros cuya presencia se considere conveniente.

El ministro de Hacienda y Administraciones Públicas dispondrán del mismo número de votos que posean las comunidades y ciudades autónomas que formen parte del Consejo. Los  representantes de las comunidades y ciudades autónomas dispondrán cada uno de ellas de un voto.

Regulación
El Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera de las Comunidades Autónomas fue creado por la Ley Orgánica 8/1980, de 22 de septiembre, de Financiación de las Comunidades Autónomas (LOFCA). Por Acuerdo 1/1981, de 20 de agosto se aprobó el Reglamento de este órgano.

Naturaleza jurídica
La naturaleza jurídica del Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera es la de un órgano de carácter consultivo y de deliberación que no tiene facultades de ejecutivas y por tanto sus acuerdos son meras recomendaciones o consejos, que no obligan per se.

En relación con este carácter, el Informe de la Comisión de Expertos consideró que sería recomendable  «la  reforma del Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera para que éste deje de ser un órgano consultivo y de deliberación y sus acuerdos puedan ser vinculantes», para que así la tarea de coordinación pueda ser operativa.

Funciones
De acuerdo con el artículo 3 de la LOFCA, el Consejo de Política Fiscal y Financiera de las Comunidades Autónomas  entenderá de las siguientes materias:

 La coordinación de la política presupuestaria de las comunidades autónomas con la del Estado.
 La emisión de los informes y la adopción de los acuerdos previstos en la Ley Orgánica 18/2001, Complementaria de la Ley General de Estabilidad Presupuestaria.
 El estudio y valoración de los criterios de distribución de los recursos del Fondo de Compensación.
 El estudio, la elaboración, en su caso, y la revisión de los métodos utilizados para el cálculo de los costos de los servicios transferidos a las comunidades autónomas.
 La apreciación de las razones que justifiquen, en cada caso, la percepción por parte de las comunidades autónomas de las asignaciones presupuestarias, así como los criterios de equidad seguidos para su afectación.
 La coordinación de la política de endeudamiento.
 La coordinación de la política de inversiones públicas.
 En general, todo aspecto de la actividad financiera de las comunidades autónomas y de la Hacienda del Estado que, dada su naturaleza, precise de una actuación coordinada.

Contexto legal: Autonomía financiera de las comunidades autónomas-Coordinación
El artículo 156.1 del Constitución española establece que "Las Comunidades Autónomas gozarán de autonomía financiera para el desarrollo
y ejecución de sus competencias con arreglo a los principios de coordinación con la Hacienda estatal y de solidaridad entre todos los españoles".

De acuerdo con la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional, la autonomía financiera supone la capacidad de autoorganización para establecer y desarrollar dicha autonomía, es decir, capacidad de crear y organizar una hacienda autónoma. La potestad de aprobación de los presupuestos forma parte del contenido mínimo e inderogable de la autonomía financiera de las comunidades autónomas.

El Tribunal Constitucional, en reiteradas ocasiones,  ha  determinado  que  la  coordinación  «persigue  la  integración  de  la diversidad  de  las  partes  o  subsistemas  en  el  conjunto  o  sistema,  evitando contradicciones y reduciendo disfunciones que, de subsistir, impedirían o dificultarían, respectivamente, la realidad misma del sistema»

El mismo tribunal entiende por coordinación la fijación de medios y sistemas de relación que hagan posible la información recíproca, la homogeneidad técnica en determinados aspectos y la acción conjunta de las autoridades... estatales y comunitarias en el ejercicio de sus respectivas competencias, de tal modo que se logre la integración de actos parciales en la globalidad del sistema».

Talent management is usually not well-supported by traditional curricula, because university courses are typically designed for a large number of average students and not for the few outstanding ones. In this paper, we share our experiences on running a talent mentoring program in IT security at our university. We describe the whole process from increasing awareness of IT security among students, via maintaining a community of practice where they can improve their skills, to finally connect them to well-established IT companies. We also introduce avatao, a platform to support hands-on IT security practice. Our methods could serve as a blueprint to establish a successful talent management program in IT security in a typical academic environment.

Funkadelic, Virgin and Victoria's Secret: What b2b can learn from b2c about customer-centric branding
Brand chemistry
After years of treating b2b buyers like emotionless 'droids, b2b brands are finally getting the hang of customer-centric branding. B2b brands are now considering the needs, desires, pain points and ambitions of their audiences: and using them to build brands that truly speak to the customer.
Here are 4 trade secrets for creating truly customer-centric brands: and (because we love bringing the best of b2c to the b2b arena) some great examples of consumer brands that are doing it beautifully.
Secret No. 1. Build a picture of your customer - and stick to it
Building a crystal-clear picture of your consumer is a fundamental part of creating customer-centric brands. Being rigorous about sticking to it is another. Once you get the hang of this, it not only allows you to create authentic, single-minded brands, but also opens up opportunities in the most unlikely of places. Let's learn from one of the masters: Richard Branson.
Virgin : building an empire for one
Virgin has extended its brand into a staggeringly wide variety of unrelated products, including radio stations, spas, energy drinks and bingo (no, that's not a typo). And not a smattering of brand erosion in sight. So how do they do it? The one thing that unites Virgin's products is low pricing, good quality, and a fun-loving, rebel image that attracts - you guessed it - a particular customer segment. This psychographic similarity in Virgin's customers makes it possible for the company to create a seamless brand across a product range that would normally make even the most adventurous of brand managers squirm in horror.
Secret No. 2: Know thyself
Of course the second half of building an awesome customer-centred brand is understanding what attributes your product, service or organisation carries, and understanding what they mean to the persona you have identified. Brand archetypes are a neat, powerful way of pinpointing those brand characteristics that can really connect you to your consumers, as well as helping you balance customer and company agendas along the way.
Here's an example of a b2c brand which has mastered the art of brand archetypes beautifully:
Victoria's Secret: owning the 'Lover' Archetype
With their sumptuous 'boudoir' styled stores, pink and black colour scheme, lingerie fashion shows and runway 'Angels', there's no doubt that Victoria's Secret has claimed the Lover archetype as their own. They've successfully identified their customer's needs and desires, and laid it on for them by the bucketful. And the results are plain to see: more than $4 billion in sales a year, and successful brand extensions into perfume, swimwear and clothing: all sitting neatly under the Lover archetype.
The strength of their brand archetype is neatly summed up in this academic study which states "Victoria's Secret product represents fun, romance, fantasy, desire and love all in one. As long as they don Victoria's Secret lingerie, women can be transformed like Cinderella from the ties of domestic life to one of the angels seen on the walkway."
(Psst! To find out more about Brand Archetypes and how to use them, download our free e-book here.)
Secret No. 3. Know when to divide and when to conquer
Often when we build a b2b brand, we look for commonalities: We identify common needs and desires in our audience and splice them together to create a single, unified brand persona. And then we weave together features and benefits to create 'umbrella' brands that lend familiarity and consistency to a set of products, services and experiences.
But sometimes your audience is so polarised that creating two (or more) separate brands is simply the smart way to go.
Let's look at a beautiful example of customer-centric branding from a world light years away b2b branding: 1970s funk.
Funkadelic and Parliament: dividing and conquering
George Clinton was known as one of the great founders of funk. But he had a problem. He had two completely different buyer personas: the mainstream crowd, who liked their soul old-school, with lots of vocals and brass; and the hipsters, who liked harder-edged funk.
Clinton knew enough about branding to know that the two groups would never mix, and trying to appeal to both would end in disaster. So he came up with a neat branding solution.
The same group of musicians recorded and performed under two different band names: Parliament, whose music was aimed at popular tastes, and Funkadelic, whose music and brand was altogether edgier (check out their crazy album covers here!).
Both bands, of course, were hugely successful. Kudos to a man who worked out 40 years ago that brands should reflect the customers' identities rather than your own.
Secret No. 4: Keep listening
One of the hallmarks of real customer-centric brands is the way they communicate with their consumers. The best brands provide multiple opportunities to engage with their customer, and show they are listening: some even going so far as to collaborate and co-create solutions together.
Here's a lovely example - an oldie but a goodie.
Starbucks: making innovation everyone's business
'My Starbucks Idea'
MyStarbucksIdea.com was one of Starbucks' first - and most successful - social media campaigns. As the name suggests, it invited customers to suggest improvements to the Starbucks coffee experience. The site was a huge success, with customers posting on average one new idea every hour, ranging from new product suggestions about technology to techniques to improve the coffee itself.
Many people have lauded this story as an example of a great social strategy. And sure, social media was the perfect tool for making it happen. But at its heart this is really this is a tale of a customer-centric brand, and Starbucks' commitment to listening to their own customers.
In the words of Starbucks themselves: "You know better than anyone else what you want from Starbucks. So tell us. We're here, and we're ready to make ideas happen."
Customer-centric brands: making it happen
These examples are inspiring, but they're not exclusive to b2c: building customer-centric brands is just as easy for b2b.
First, build a crystal-clear picture of your consumer: understand their needs, desires and frustrations.
Next, understand what makes your brand different, and use Brand Archetypes to build a powerful personality around your brand.
Then, think about how you structure your brands: can you create one, unified brand that speaks compellingly to all your customers, or do you need to divide and conquer, like George Clinton?
Last of all, keep listening: in all the ways that you possibly can.
You're well on your way to building a great customer-centric brand, and reaping all the rewards (higher price points, brand equity, customer loyalty) that come with it.

Everton forward Steven Naismith gives away tickets to unemployed supporters for the second season running

Unemployed Everton fans could get the chance to watch their heroes for nothing at Goodison Park after Steven Naismith confirmed that he will continue to give away free tickets this season.
The Scotland international, who donated tickets to Toffees supporters throughout the previous campaign, will do the same this time around as Roberto Martinez's men aim to improve upon last term's disappointing 11th place finish.
Naismith has teamed up with Jobcentre Plus centres throughout Liverpool to offer those searching for work an opportunity to see Romelu Lukaku and Co in action.

The former Rangers man has purchased four season tickets, meaning four unemployed fans - or 76 people over the course of the season - will attend Everton's 19 Barclays Premier League home games.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Naismith said: 'There are many unemployed in Liverpool trying hard to find a job and, through no fault of their own, have yet to find an opportunity. But I firmly believe the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal – the tragedy lies in having no opportunity of a goal to reach.
'For those trying hard to find a job, money will be tight. A match day ticket may well a luxury beyond their reach and this is a small gesture to help those in that situation to enjoy a day out at Goodison Park.'

Naismith is no stranger to charity work, having helped homeless centres in Liverpool and set up a project in Glasgow to help injured service personnel back to mainstream employment.
The 28-year-old, who is also an ambassador for Dyslexia Scotland, admits that he feels a duty to help those less fortunate than himself as he continues to enjoy a successful career in the Premier League and at international level with Scotland.
'From the feedback I have received, it appears to have brought some joy to many people last season and, once again, I have asked the Jobcentreplus team to help select people who are unemployed through no fault of their own and are trying hard to find employment and who would enjoy watching a match,' said Naismith.

'I feel blessed for the opportunities and lifestyle my job as a footballer has afforded my family and me. The sport has also put me in the position where I can help the community in some small way. It is my duty to utilise that position for the greater good of the community.'
A Jobcentre Plus spokesperson added: 'Jobcentre Plus are delighted to continue working alongside Steven as part of our extensive partnerships across Merseyside.
'Last season many unemployed people across the city enjoyed the great opportunity of attending an Everton home match thanks to Steven. This has run really well alongside our successful relationship with Everton in the Community.'
Naismith and his Everton team-mates return to action at Goodison on Sunday against Manchester City as they look to build on last weekend's convincing 3-0 victory at Southampton.

Ozark: What to Expect From the Final Episodes
The final season of Netflix drama Ozark has been split into two parts. Here are the questions we need answered from part two.
By Shawn Laib | January 31, 2022 |
This article contains spoilers for Ozark season 4.
Netflix's decision to split Ozark's final season into two separate parts seems to have worked. Audiences are left impatiently wondering what will happen to Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman), Wendy Byrde (Laura Linney), and Ruth Langmore (Julia Garner) when the hit crime series returns for its final run this summer.
Ozark season 4 episode 7 leaves off with Ruth furiously threatening to kill the Byrde patriarch after she thinks that they are to blame for the death of her cousin, Wyatt (Charlie Tahan). The actual perpetrator of the tragic homicide? Javi (Alfonso Herrera), the nephew of Navarro cartel head man Omar (Felix Solis).
While the latter has been the supposed enemy of the series from the beginning, it is becoming increasingly clear that the introduction of the former is where the main evil in the show is going to come from as we reach the finish line. Javi's style is similar to another scene-stealing baddie from a rival crime drama, and his infusion of energy into the fray is necessary. The Byrde family has gotten a little too comfortable telling their bosses how high to jump recently.
And that's where we get to the other questions. Almost everything left to answer revolves around whether these characters will get out of the mess they have created in clean order. Or will they end up like so many others' fates in the long line of suburban criminal shows? Let's try to figure it out together!
Will Wendy Byrde Pay For Her Sins?
While all of the characters in this show have made bad decisions and committed illegal acts, it's crime wife Wendy who resembles some of our favorite anti-heroes the most. As the Byrde family got deeper into the decision-making for the Navarro cartel, Wendy embraced the thrill of the kill. She sanctioned the murders of Ruth's dad, Cade (Trevor Long), and even her own brother, Ben (Tom Pelphrey), in heartbreaking fashion at the end of the third season.
The first half of this final act saw her continue to get in the good graces of drug kingpin, Omar, while inspiring hatred from her son, Jonah. She doesn't seem to care anymore who she affects with her choices.
Wendy wants power and control and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. More than any other wife character on TV, Wendy is the one who feels like she's in charge of the operation. She's an evolution that goes well beyond The Sopranos', Carmela Soprano, and even Breaking Bad's Skyler White.
And with this immorality comes the question of accountability. Will Wendy get what's coming to her in the final seven episodes of the series? She can't just run the Ozarks with a callous fist and then return to her home in Chicago with everything in her life intact. The showrunners will definitely discipline her, whether that's through direct action towards her or her family.
The problem is that it really doesn't feel like anything could destroy her inside. When your heart is already black, the comeuppance is just par for the course. It's an accepted part of her journey that could be shrugged off with true sociopathic tendencies by the most evil woman in the Midwest.
Will Jonah and Charlotte Make It Out Alive?
This is one of the ways that Wendy could theoretically be hurt by her misdeeds. If one of her children dies, will she realize that all of her actions were disastrous? We know that Marty will be destroyed by this potential outcome, as he has maintained a semi-decent relationship with both of his kids throughout the series.
Jonah especially got closer to Marty in the first half of Season 4 when his father helped him navigate his own desires to be a money-launderer for Darlene and Ruth. Some fans may have even felt that the end times were coming for Jonah in these past few episodes as he got ever closer to the dangerous world that his parents navigate daily.
This would make it more surprising if Charlotte is the one who sees her demise when the show returns. She's tried to be a good soldier and listen to her mom and dad's instructions recently, a huge decision that contradicts her earlier attempts to get emancipated from the Byrde home in the second season.
It would be a pretty morbid turn for the show to kill off one of these characters. Yet, Omar ominously warning that he doesn't murder children, and then reiterating that line to Wendy, seems a little too foreboding. He may not take this action, but that doesn't mean his nephew, Javi won't.
Will Mel the P.I. Get His Signature?
Or Helen's body? He doesn't care which one he gets. This mysterious former cop was introduced this season with one goal in mind: to track down the location of the Navarro cartel's slain lawyer. It's unknown to the audience why he cares so much about this result, as he claims he's just working out the divorce papers between Helen and her husband.
As he struggles to get information from the various characters surrounding him, the plot seems to thicken. He starts butting his head into places that he shouldn't be at, such as the motel that Jonah and Ruth are laundering heroin money through.
Who is this man, exactly? He has an ambiguous background, and it would be plot-writing malpractice to not involve him in the final seven episodes of the series after hinting at such a decision this season. Ozark has always thrived when including new figures for a season or two (Ben, Agent Petty, and Cade) and this is another golden opportunity for such.
When Will We Find Out What Happened to the Byrdes' After Their Car Accident?
The show uses a flash forward early in the first part of this season showing the Byrde family driving away from the Ozarks, presumably back to Chicago. Everything is hunky dory until Marty takes his eyes off the road. He crashes on the side of the lane into a patch of forestry, and we are left to wonder what happens after the fact.
This scene seems to be a device to peak interest in what will occur when the show resumes, and it's important for the writers to address it thoroughly. If it is treated as no big deal, then it minimizes the purpose of this scene. Could this be the way that the universe spits in Marty and Wendy's faces? That they escape from their crimes just to meet their demise in a car wreck?
Whatever happens, Ozark has always found strength in pulling out surprises when we least expect them. The show is creative enough to have carved out a place in history, but finishing strong will go a long way in furthering that legacy. The end is hard to execute, so let's see if the writers can be as adept as Marty is at laundering drug money.

This Princess-themed product can be a great afternoon activity for younger foodie, but as with any baking kit for children, it requires some patience and there's a good chance the cake won't be the tastiest you've ever had.
At 22 years old, I prefer activities that remind me of my childhood over what other millennials my age are probably doing – you're much more likely to find me glazing an overpriced bowl at Color Me Mine as opposed to knocking back beers at some hip bar downtown on a Friday night.
Imagine my excitement, then, when an editor approached me with a brand new baking kit for a princess cake.The kit, produced by toy manufacturer Real Cooking, is called Princess Cakes, alluringly marketing the promise of easy step-by-step guidance. It's $29.99 at most major retailers, which seems a small price to pay for a couple of afternoons of fun for your little ones.
Of all people, why would I, a 22-year-old male who clocks in at 6'4" (way too big for toys and playgrounds alike) be the man for this job? Well, I've baked once in my entire life, which makes me the perfect tester for a product made for six-year-olds.
As more and more crafty baking kits become available on the market, parents and gift-givers alike might be finding themselves puzzled on how one product stacks up against another.
Don't be fooled – creating a princess cake from scratch isn't a walk in the park, especially for younger cooks who might have a hard time when it comes to the fine details.
The Princess Cakes set has a full-sheet of instructions that were thorough enough for you to help your little one through the process. However, The Princess Cakes instructions called for ¾ of a single egg to mix within the set's packaged cake mix – an insanely specific amount. I gave it my best shot, and kept moving onto the next step, but I may have been better prepared had I read the instructions closely beforehand.
Whatever baking kit you may opt to buy, it's crucial to read the instructions and understand them well before you rip open any of the contents in the kit. It's far more magical when your princess-themed cake doesn't fall apart because you read the fine print.
This kit requires users to assemble each part of the cake separately: First, you whisk the cake mix together and use the kit's mold to quickly bake it at 350 degrees. You'll also have to follow a few steps to turn the packaged fondant icing into a mixture you can actually knead and roll out with your hands.
Then users will break out the product's included tools – stencils, a baking mat, pie server, and other decorative aids – to assemble the cake's fondant icing layer. While it was relatively easy to assemble in my kitchen, fondant can be tricky even for a baker with experience and skill on their best day. It tends to dry easily, so transferring the fondant from the kit's baking sheet to the cake didn't work out quite as well as I hoped it would.
Most of the Princess Cakes kit is age-appropriate minus a few steps – so if fondant, or another tricky ingredient, is in the picture, you might want to keep in mind that you'll likely need to assist them.
Given that I'm a complete klutz when it comes to baking and measurements, I thought my quest to bring my princess to life was over when I accidentally dumped in tablespoons of water versus the prescribed teaspoons and ended up with a gloppy mess. But the Princess Cakes set has you covered, as there are two sets for a reason; I was able to continue with the set by switching from the pink princess to the green fairy after realizing my error.
Mistakes happen, and baking kits that come with a backup such as this will ensure that the fun doesn't end if your little one missteps in their work.
There's a great upside to a baking kit like the Princess Cakes set – they come preloaded with all the necessary tools. And they are usually in fun colors and appropriate sizes, no less. Each step on the kit's instruction page had an accompanying tool for the task within the kit. For example, when it came time for me to roll out the fondant, there was a miniature rolling pin right in the kit. Which was crucial for me, as my next resort would have been to use a bottle of wine to roll out icing for a child's cake. Not exactly kosher, huh?
Kits that are equipped with all the appropriate tools to get the job done are best – no one likes having to buy AAA batteries after the fact, right?
5) Is There A Magical Moment?
I will say, there's something to be said for decorating the fondant that struck a chord with me. It was the most relaxing part of the whole process, and at the end of the day, it was the part of the process that didn't require me to complete the rest of the advance work ahead of me. Even if I had managed to mess up the entire kit, and wouldn't dare to eat the cake itself, I still would have been able to enjoy my time decorating the fondant. That's was Princess Cake's most magical moment.
Any baking kit that you pick up should have an element that is similar – if it's all step-by-step work and little fun, then it might not be the best choice.
I thoroughly enjoyed securing the sugared crystals and pearls to my princess's fondant dress, and I know your child will, too. It stood out in my mind as the highlight of the whole afternoon. So even if the cake you've managed to bake isn't the tastiest you've ever had, you (and/or your kiddo) can still have the joy of decorating it to look like a dream come true.
As the market becomes more saturated with products like this one, it's important to remember they're meant to be fun. Otherwise, you'll just end up with a not-so-magical messy kitchen and an unimpressed kid – an opportunity missed for what could be a great experience for them in your kitchen.
This product is sold at Walmart, Toys 'R Us, and Target, as well as on Amazon.com.


Can You really Afford The Average Payday Loan Interest Rate?
I always ask if people can really afford the average payday loan interest on a payday loan when I hear they are thinking of or actually taking one out.

How that breaks down is a 2 week $500.00 loan would cost you $150.00 in interest along with various counter frees.
Do you still want to get that loan?
I know, many times people are forced into this due to no other options and we have been there ourselves here at Help With Payday Loan Debt.

Ontario woman pleads not guilty in slayings of 2 daughters
Her next court date is Sept. 5.
Linda Nguyen, 47, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Aug. 22, 2019, in connection with the deaths of two daughters, ages 4 months and 14 years, in their Ontario home on Aug. 20. (Courtesy of Ontario Police Department)
By Richard K. De Atley | rdeatley@scng.com | The Press-Enterprise
PUBLISHED: August 29, 2019 at 4:41 p.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2019 at 4:42 p.m.
An Ontario woman entered not guilty pleas Thursday, Aug. 29, to charges she killed her daughters, ages 4 months and 14 years, in the family home earlier this month.
Linda Nguyen, 47, entered the pleas before San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Brigid M. McCann, who set her next court date for Sept. 5, records showed. Nguyen remains in custody and is not eligible for bail.
Police had said Nguyen was the only suspect in the deaths of her children. She was hospitalized Aug. 20 after police went to the home on the 500 block of East Tam O' Shanter Street and was charged Tuesday.
Officers were called to the home by Nguyen's husband, who is also the father of the girls. He was never a suspect in the case, Ontario Police Sgt. Bill Russell said.
Russell had described the teen as a special-needs child. He said detectives found two suicide notes that indicated Nguyen planned to kill the girls, and then herself. Detectives had information that Nguyen was dealing with depression, Russel said.

Question about Muhammad for Muslims. Please explain why...
Submitted by Ninos Oshaana (United States), Oct 24, 2002 at 16:04
Every major prophet in the Old Testament, which Islam relies on heavily for its very existance, was ordained, visited, or called to devote is life to God, by God himself. This is evident from Abraham all the way to Moses. For Christians, this continues through Christ, who hand-picked his deciples, including Paul on the road to Damascus. Why then, if Muhammad is the greatest prophet, as Islam claims, was he called to the service of God by an Angel (Gabriel) and not God himself? What does this say about Muhammed compared to other prophets? Why would Muhammad not receive his calling directly from God, as other prophets, but rather from an angel? Some argue that in fact, Satan disguised himself as Gabriel and visited Muhammad.
Muhammad even admitted that Satan spoke through him when he approved the worship of the three women deities in the Quraysh tribe. The prominent early muslim scholar Ibn Ishaq wrote about this incident when he quoted the Koran:
"Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third ... these are the exalted Gharaniq[3] whose intercession is approved." (Ibn Ishaq, pp. 165-166)
The Islamic explanation as to why Muhammad accepted the idols is that Satan put these words on Muhammad's lips is:
Satan ... put upon his (Muhammad's) tongue "these are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved". (Ibn Ishaq, p. 165-166)
In other words. after converting the tribe to Islam, he admitted that Satan had spoken through him. This incident, is the basis for Rushdie's Satanic Verses.
So my two questions for Muslims out there are:
1. Why was Muhammed not called directly by God, but by an Angel?
2. If Muhammed was the greatest prophet, closest to God, how could he let Satan speak through him, when other figures, such as Christ while alone in the desert for 40 days, was able to rebuke Satan's temptations.
I have posed these questions to many Muslims but I don't get a solid response. Any response with sound evidence by a Muslim will be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: HTML File is returned as weird character hodgepodge I have the following code in my application:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($filename));
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename=' . $filename);
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
ob_clean();
@readfile($filename);

It is supposed to read an html file and writes in the response output.
The strange thing that happens now, is, that this works very well on one server, while on the other one it returns something that resembles an encoding error, like
���&�lyY�]�����8���O��:���x��בw�6_an ����������+�G��͟>m��O�H&�WK�u>��_��(�U��z�_}�e�����ON�o��Y<�#�}��/�˵��}���Q��/ҼI?�Z1+�E��wZ�N묶��S�v�n_�o�B�9��e0��,�}=K[P�����������ڋ�����w���.
This is definitely not due to an encoding issue of the respective file, because it happens as well when I replace
@readfile($filename);
with
echo "ABCDE";
Both are Linux Servers and the Apache and PHP Versions are pretty similar:
PHP 5.6.35 / Apache/2.4.33 for the correct version,
PHP 5.6.36 / Apache/2.4.18 for the incorrect one.

A: I found the solution, but I don't clearly understand why. Instead of ob_clean() it must be ob_end_clean();

Snakes, turtles and an alligator awaited visitors Saturday at the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve Environmental Education Center.
The exhibit was part of an open house for National Estuaries Day, which celebrates and educates about the importance of estuaries. The event offered exhibits of shells and plankton, reptiles and marine mammals and guided tours of the reserve.
"They have a blast every year," said Keri Matthews, as she watched her children Abby, 3, and Robie, 6, color at an exhibit about North Atlantic Right Whales.
"Can we hang this up at home?" Abby asked as she held up a picture of a whale that she had marked with a purple Crayon.
The Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve has been celebrating National Estuaries Day since 1999, when the reserve was formed, according to Emily Jane Murray, public information specialist for the reserve. The national event is in its 24th year.
Around 200 people came to the educational center's open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to learn about natural resources from scientists, rangers and naturalists from Northeast Florida.
Lisa Bishop said her family has come to the event for several years to help their children learn about the importance of natural resources.
"We hike a lot in Guana," Bishop said. "We want them to be able to understand what is around us."
In the reptiles classroom at the educational center, Joe Burgess, resource management coordinator, held a kingsnake as a group of children stared up at him.
Burgess, a herpetologist and biologist, had arranged an exhibit of information on snakes on why "snakes have a bad rap," why "snakes are great" and what to do if you find a snake or are bitten.
One flyer noted that there are 44 native species of snakes in Florida and only six are venomous.
"We're here to show people that you don't need to be afraid," he said.
Murray said the point of the open house is to teach people the kind of research that is done at the reserve as well as importance of the estuaries.
Estuaries are important, she said, because of wildlife that come to the estuaries and breed and also because estuaries help filter water and improve its quality.
"So it's, ya know, important for us to keep these environments stable and healthy to help keep ourselves stable and healthy," she said.
� "Estuaries are partially enclosed bodies of water such as bays, lagoons and sloughs, where freshwater from rivers mixes with salt water." They are "spawning grounds and nurseries for at least two-thirds of the nation's commercial fish and shellfish."
� There are three estuarine research reserves in Florida: the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Research Reserve, Rookery Bay in Naples, the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve.
