Section I — BASIC INFORMATION
Section II — SITUATION ANALYSIS
a) Overall Assessment
Historically, Alberta has maintained a smoking rate higher than the national average. The 2008 Alberta Tobacco Reduction Strategy identified a goal to reduce the smoking rate for Albertans age 15+ from 21% to 12% by 2012. As of 2011, the actual smoking rate for this demographic in Alberta was still 17.7%.
One of the challenges that we recognized at the start of this process is that for every 1% reduction in smoking rates achieved, the next 1% becomes that much more difficult to attain. As we achieve success in encouraging smokers to quit, we are left with a more concentrated group of dedicated smokers who are less interested in quitting. Put in this context, it becomes apparent that the 2008 goal of a 9% reduction in smoking over 5 years was an ambitious target.
Many ex-smokers say that quitting smoking was the hardest thing that they have ever done. The nicotine in tobacco is an extremely addictive substance. In many studies it has shown to be as addictive as cocaine or heroin. In addition to the physical addiction and cravings, smoking often involves an emotional addiction (as it becomes a means for dealing with stress) and a behavioural addiction (as a part of everyday moments in a daily routine). Quitting is a difficult process and often involves many relapses, but help is available and can make a tremendous difference in an individual's chances for success.
The tobacco cessation support services offered by Alberta Health Services come in the form of a website called AlbertaQuits.ca. This website is a centralized resource with a variety of information, tools, and programs such as online, phone, text, and group quitting services. Research has shown that support from AlbertaQuits.ca doubles an individual's chances of quitting successfully.
b) Resulting Business Objectives
Alberta Health Services (AHS) sought to make progress in reducing smoking rates in 2012 by launching a campaign to promote the tobacco cessation services that are available via AlbertaQuits. By drawing more traffic to the AlbertaQuits website, Alberta Health Services sought to build greater awareness of the quitting support that is available and recruit more smokers into their cessation programs. As more participants register, the proven success rates of these programs will help lead to a lower smoking rate in Alberta.
The ultimate goal for this campaign was to reduce smoking rates in Alberta among 25 to 40 year old women by encouraging current smokers in this demographic to make a new attempt at quitting, this time with the support of AlbertaQuits. In order to accomplish this goal, we needed to drive traffic to AlbertaQuits so that these individuals would become aware of the services available to them, and take action to sign up for support. Our immediate objectives during the timeframe of the campaign were to:
This campaign was one component of a larger strategy to communicate with a variety of niche audiences in order to make progress in reducing the overall smoking rate in Alberta.

Section III — STRATEGIC THINKING
a) Analysis and Insight
Alberta Health Services initially identified a broad scope of adult smokers that they wished to communicate with. We recommended refining the target audience based upon a key insight that men and women have different approaches to quitting smoking. Men are more likely to do their own research, use nicotine replacement therapy, and make a quit attempt on their own, whereas women are more likely to access more social forms of support such as phone services or group interactions. Since AlbertaQuits' services naturally appeal to women's quitting styles, we saw this audience as being more likely to respond to a call to action for the campaign.
As we assessed female smokers as a potential audience, we discovered that one key barrier is a lack of confidence in their ability to successfully quit. For many of these women, their past 2 to 3 quit attempts have ended in relapse, which leaves them with the perception that they are simply not able to quit. However, research revealed that on average it takes 8 attempts to successfully quit smoking. It turns out that relapse isn't failure; it is actually a part of the process of quitting.
We applied the transtheoretical model of behaviour change to the quitting process to further assess our proposed target audience. Within the model, there are 5 stages of behaviour change: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. Those that have not made a previous attempt to quit may not recognize smoking as a problem, and are likely to still be in the Pre-contemplation phase. Individuals in this state of mind and are much less likely to explore the cessation services, even if we were able to make them aware of what is available to them. Meanwhile, those who have made a previous quit attempt have identified themselves as a strong candidate for cessation services as it is clear that they have an interest in quitting smoking. These individuals are likely to be in the Contemplation or Preparation stages for another quit attempt. By targeting women who have made a previous quit attempt, our communications would be focused on an audience that will find our messaging relevant to their current situation and be most likely to respond to our call to action.
All of these factors made it clear that focusing on 25 to 40 year old women who have made at least one previous attempt to quit smoking represented a great opportunity to build awareness and drive greater participation in tobacco cessation programs.
b) Communication Strategy
Our target audience was 25 to 40 year old women smokers. When it comes to quitting smoking, many smokers see relapse as failure. However, research indicates that it takes, on average, eight quit attempts before an individual quits smoking successfully. Relapse is in fact part of the quitting process. Our strategy was to reposition relapse as a sign of progress towards an ultimate goal, and help dispel the misperception that relapse equates to failure. This approach provided us with the opportunity to encourage smokers with the positive message to "keep trying". To encourage smokers to take up the call-to-action, we reinforced the value of AlbertaQuits as a service that would "double your chances of quitting".
In developing this campaign artwork and messaging, we conducted focus testing in both Edmonton and Calgary. The female participants found the campaign to be positive and encouraging; they also saw it as a fresh approach that didn't stoop to scare tactics.
In summary, our key messages for this campaign were:
Section IV — KEY EXECUTIONAL ELEMENTS
a) Media Used
Our tactics for reaching our audience with the campaign messaging consisted of:
b) Creative Discussion
From meeting the perfect guy, to having the perfect hairstyle, to finding the perfect pair of jeans, there are many situations in women's lives where they don't give up after a few tries, but keep going until they get what they want. We depicted these iconic situations in washroom posters specifically targeted to females. The tone was humorous and uplifting, with the takeaway to "keep trying" and seek support from AlbertaQuits. We also produced mirror decal installations that allowed the audience to "step inside" the hairstyle ad creative for the campaign.
We produced radio spots for the campaign that opened with a contemporary cover artist singing "Pick Yourself Up" composed by Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields. As an iconic song from the 1939 film Swing Time with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, it would stand out dramatically against the typical music heard on present day radio stations. The radio spot opened with the lyrics of: "Nothing's impossible, I have found, for when my chin is on the ground, I pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again." The radio spot then artificially skipped and repeated "start all over again" several times, grabbing listeners' attention while reinforcing the key message that in order to successfully quit smoking, you have to keep trying.
Focus testing with our target audience found the campaign to be positive, encouraging, and a fresh approach that didn't stoop to scare tactics.
c) Media Discussion
We accessed our in-house media team for additional research insights into the media habits of 25 to 40 year old women smokers. This demographic is more likely to be unmarried than non-smokers, and thus is likely to spend more time in bars and restaurants (Restobar). Bars and restaurants are social environments where individuals are likely to be surrounded by a variety of smoking triggers. Delivering a cessation support message in this context is especially relevant to those who are contemplating a quit attempt as they are surrounded by reminders of how difficult cravings can be.
We worked with the media buying agency of record for the project to incorporate Restobar advertising into the media plan, which was rounded out with radio ads on female skewing stations to reach our audience in a cost effective manner. In order to maximize the reach of our budget, we decided to focus the campaign on the two major population centres in Alberta: Edmonton and Calgary. The campaign ran for a total of four weeks, from March 18 to April 14, 2013. We utilized washroom posters to deliver the core messaging, with support from mirror decal installations in key locations. The mirror decals were a series of dye cut hairstyles that the audience could stand in front of to see how they would look on them, with the message that sometimes you have to keep trying. Radio advertising carried the message beyond the Restobar environment, and acted as a reminder for those who had seen the washroom advertising.
In addition, we sought to further drive traffic to the website by using online advertising on female skewing website networks. All of the advertising tactics we identified ran in parallel for the full duration of the campaign.
Section V — BUSINESS RESULTS
a) Sales/Share Results
Our objective was to drive traffic to AlbertaQuits.ca and encourage greater uptake of cessation support services among smokers in Alberta. The campaign's performance relative to the original objectives is summarized below:
1. Increase monthly unique visitors to AlbertaQuits.ca to 3,000
Unique visitor numbers increased substantially. For the month of February, before the campaign started, the site only totaled 1,848 unique visitors; this number increased to a staggering 7,061 for the month of March, and 7,559 for the month of April. This translates into an approximate 400% increase in the number of unique viewers who visited AlbertaQuits.ca.
2. Increase monthly site visits on AlbertaQuits.ca to 6,750
Site visits increased exponentially. The site received a total of 4,462 visits in February, prior to the launch of the campaign. This number surged to 12,120 and 12,432 for the months of March and April respectively. The campaign increased site views by approximately 275%.
Pageviews nearly doubled. Average pageviews for February were 20,648; pageviews for March and April were 39,357 and 38,242.
3. Increase monthly registrations for cessation support on AlbertaQuits.ca to 300
A significant increase in registrations of current smokers (fitting the target audience)
Number of current smoker registrants increased from 187 in February to 321 in March, and 346 in April. With healthy registration numbers among the target audience; approx. 65% of registrants were female. Of this population, approx. 51% were within the targeted age of 25-45. This reiterates the effectiveness of the crafted promotional elements in reaching the target audience.
From the perspective of the Alberta Health Services, and the analytics supporting the evaluation, this campaign was effective in promoting the AlbertaQuits cessation programs in an effort to reduce smoking rates in Alberta.
b) Consumption/ Usage Results
c) Other Pertinent Results
d) Return on Investment
Section VI — CAUSE & EFFECT BETWEEN ADVERTISING AND RESULTS
a) General Discussion
There are a few key analytics that were collected during the campaign timeframe that reinforce the cause and effect between the advertising and the results:
A strong relationship between website visits and campaign run times.
Site visits to AlbertaQuits.ca increased significantly as of March 18, the first day of the campaign. Numbers also declined steeply after April 14, the last day of the campaign.
The demographics of program registrants shifted towards the defined target audience. The percentage of activations increased among smokers who have made previous attempts to quit smoking. This is important to note, as the "Keep trying" campaign was directed at smokers who have made efforts of quitting and was crafted to encourage this audience to continue their effort. Activation percentages for this audience increased from 59.25% in February to 65.52% in April.
A strong number of registrants indicated that they received the campaign message via radio. 15.0% (in March) and 18.5% (in April) of the target audience that registered for cessation support services noted that they received the campaign messaging via radio. This is a significant increase when compared to the average baseline figure of 6.2% for radio. Considering that the campaign spot was the only radio in market from Alberta Health Services during this timeframe, we can correlate a connection between exposure to the campaign and registration on AlbertaQuits.ca.
b) Excluding Other Factors
Spending Levels:
Alberta Health Services' annual budget for promoting tobacco cessation under this campaign was consistent with spending levels from previous years.
The services provided by AlbertaQuits are free of charge, and thus there was no possibility for price discounting during the campaign.
Distribution Changes:
The availability of AlbertaQuits services (both online and in-person) remained unchanged from the previous year.
Unusual Promotional Activity:
The tactics involved in the campaign were purely communication based, and did not involve adjustments to pricing or promotional giveaways.
Other Potential Causes:
The harms of smoking are already well known, thus there were no industry or news related circumstances that would have influenced individual's desire to quit during the campaign. The campaign was also run outside of the "New Year's Resolution" window of December/January, thus the results are not due to a seasonal trend.

Setup - Adding a Bank
Connecting a bank lets KITT track transactions going to and from your connected bank account(s). KITT's bookkeeping system uses this information to help you match your income and expenses related to your property portfolio with real transactions to and from your bank accounts. Connecting a bank to KITT is therefore a crucial step in setting up your KITT account, and choosing not to do so will greatly impact the usefullness of KITT's bookkeeping system.
Step 1
Enter your bank in the search bar and click on the correct result from the dropdown menu. If you cannot find your bank, contact KITT support and a member of our team will provide assistance.
Step 2
Log in to your bank as you would log in to your online banking services, using your customer number and password. Please note that KITT uses a highly secure and well regarded third-party service, Salt Edge, to access your bank transactions and therefore no employee at KITT has any way of accessing your customer number or banking password. We will also never ask you for either of these, and you should only ever enter these details when connecting a bank to KITT.
Step 3
Click Connect and then Confirm to finish connecting your bank account to KITT. This might take several minutes to finish.
And that's it, you have finished setting up your KITT account and have created your first property, tenancy and tenant(s) and connected a bank account.

Brigade to launch 3G recording system at CV Show
Published: 10 March, 2017
Brigade Electronics will launch its new 3G enabled digital recording system at the CV Show in April.
The new mobile digital recording system (MDR) allows operators to remotely access footage and other vehicle information such as speed and location in real time. The standard MDR has been one of Brigade's most sought after products in recent years but now the company can offer a fully managed and hosted 3G solution.
The new service allows operators remote access and live streaming of footage from up to eight vehicle mounted cameras. Immediate access to data is invaluable; in the event of an incident, to refute claims, asses which party is culpable and reassure drivers in the event of an emergency.
The managed service includes a 3G SIM card and access to Brigade's hosted server. By hosting the service, Brigade is able to identify any SIM or network issues through remote diagnostics, saving the customer valuable time and resource. Customers have the choice to access footage via the Brigade dashboard or by downloading the app on their phones.
Brigade will also be releasing their improved Sidescan. Following feedback of driver annoyance, the buzzer now silences when there is no danger present and resumes once motion is detected. And a new optional extra is the Sidescan OSD Module which provides the driver with an on-screen display of the detection area.
The Brigade team will be on hand to discuss their new leasing scheme which enables fleet operators to spread the cost of vehicle safety devices, especially where large amounts of equipment are required for site specifications and tenders.
Brigade's marketing manager Emily Hardy said: 'The great thing about leasing is that, unlike hire purchases, it actually makes products cheaper because payments are fully deductible against pre-tax profits thereby reducing payments in real terms. For instance the capital cost of £25,000 is reduced by £1,190 once tax relief has been applied.
'When our customers realise the savings they are making they tell us that they can't afford not to lease products, leaving valuable capital for more strategic purposes.'

The future of microbiological diagnostics and infection epidemiology is increasingly centred on rapid molecular testing and the application of nucleotide sequencing technologies. Consequently, clinical microbiologists and related practitioners have to process and interpret molecular data, which are very different from the information generated by familiar culture-centric clinical microbiology techniques.
To demystify this crucial, exciting, and expanding area, the Genomics and Clinical Microbiology course combines practical hands-on laboratory and bioinformatics work with faculty lectures by, and discussions with, leaders in the field. The aim is to equip clinical scientists, specialist registrars, and consultants in infection disciplines with sufficient understanding of these areas to meet these immediate challenges.
What will I learn on the course?
This course concentrates on the application of cutting-edge molecular and genomic techniques that are currently being implemented, but also explores novel approaches that will enter clinical practice in the near future.
Th programme covers a wide range of topics and methodologies, including sample collection and preparation; characterization of specimens with a variety of molecular techniques; and data interpretation and dissemination, using a range of practical, bioinformatics approaches.
The practical part of the course provides laboratory and computer sessions that examine the application of molecular, specifically genomic, techniques to three key clinical scenarios:
- Tuberculosis
- Hospital acquired infection
- Encapsulated bacteria.
There will also be demonstrations of the uses of different approaches in these clinical areas. Participants will use data generated on the course to make clinical and infection control decisions.

Dot Demo Warns Us All To "Simmer Down" On Latest Project 'Delirium'
When you hear a voice so distinctive and clear that cuts through the clutter, you have to stop and acknowledge the greatness that is revealing its light, that is Dot Demo in rap form. The rawness that his lines hit with comes in the form of smoky signals of realism (check each of his project's cover art, always exhaling that chalky wind). What that means is the Bronx, NY native speaks on the life of a black man growing into his thoughts while using music as his escapism from the perils of street life. And to be clear street life isn't always some wild speaking drug dealer, or poverty stricken dude robbing everything moving. Big city living to small rural town life all have their own daily trails, addictions, beefs, responsibilities, loves, joys, laughs and glorious unions. What Dot Demo does so well is get into his own head's thoughts about all aspects of life and the beyond (this is proven by his 2015 track and visually incredible video "Indigenous Man"). I would assume good smoke and on the edge living will inspire songs like, "Simmer Down."
Dot's newest full length project, Delirium, follows the tried and true formula he's maintained with elevation each time out since 2016's Outer Body Experience. To understand that a rapper needs a pocket to rhyme in and how flow sounds better with beats that match, Dot selects airy, melodic tracks that allows his monotone vocals to live without being drowned out. If he wasn't such a dope rapper, he would be the illest A&R for some of your favorite MCs.
Take a moment to get some soulful rap vibes from one of the righteous rhymers you probably haven't heard yet, but will be hearing from for years to come. Delirium is available on all streaming platforms here.

Platte Valley Patriots Looking Forward To A Great Season
I could not be anymore excited to start this spring with the Platte Valley Patriots. This will be the
first time I have ever coached a group of boys from their freshmen year until their senior year.
We have four seniors this year all from Ashland-Greenwood: Connor Chase, Hayden Hanna,
Hunter Tucker, and Ian Mayer. I am very proud of the work these seniors have put into the
program thus far and am excited to watch them compete during their final season. The makeup
of our roster involves 32 players, 28 from Ashland-Greenwood and 4 from Yutan. We return 7
letter winners from last years season returning and we hope to build off previous successes.
This will be a fun group to coach this season. We are currently trying to fill in a few roles on the
team and the boys are bringing great effort to everything they do. They feel there is not a team
on our schedule we cannot compete with. Because of this we have set our goals and
expectations very high this year. I look forward to see how they compete each night with a tough
class B schedule. I feel they are up to the challenges and will grow a lot as the season goes on.
Thanks for all your support of your local Platte Valley Patriots. The boys love when they see a
crowd gather down at the ball fields. GO PATRIOTS!

When designing your garden, select high-yield crops, such as tomatoes and herbs. These items will assist you to maximize the space you've got available in your backyard. The more produce you possibly can develop at home, the more money you can save in your grocery invoice each month, so it pays to know what will produce essentially the most for your efforts. Try to develop only as much as you should utilize in your garden. After eating recent vegetables, storing, freezing, and making a gift of to friends and family there may be only a lot that an individual can use. Do not plant fifty tomato plants except a vegetable stand is in your future as a result of all those tomatoes will rot on the vines and will not be used.
When rising natural crops hook your plants as much as an electric timer that can turn lights on and off constantly throughout the day on the identical time. By doing this, you'll ensure that your plants obtain the correct quantity of light that they want. In case you are growing tomatoes, be sure you choose an airy spot that gets loads of gentle. Tomatoes require not less than ten hours of daylight during an average summer time day in order to develop to their peak flavor ranges. Good air circulation between and across the crops can also be vital to their survival.
A spicy solution to ridding your backyard of pests is to spray your crops with a hot mustard or red pepper mixture (one tablespoon of sizzling mustard or crimson pepper to at least one quart water). The solution is secure to spray directly in your backyard foliage and pests cannot stand the style of it! When removing and replanting perennials, it is very important replenish the soil as properly. When you take away a large number of perennials, and then replant them without including extra compost and soil, the bed shall be lower, decreasing drainage and air circulation. Additionally, the compost will change nutrients which have been used up by previous rising seasons.
Ask for information on native plants at your house and garden heart.
When making an attempt so as to add compost to your natural backyard, find a better strategy to get the compost there. It can be a ache to have to maneuver wheel-barrows of compost to your backyard. You would attempt layering newspaper down the walkways of your garden, and including straw to the top. Near the end of the season, the compost will probably be able to be added to your backyard and also you solely have to move it from the walkway to the beds on both sides.
Consider using organic fertilizers in your garden. These are safer than chemical fertilizers, which can construct up salts within the floor over time. The salts prohibit the power of the plants to get water and nutrients from the soil. They'll also kill helpful earthworms and microorganisms which eat thatch. To make a backyard complete don't forget points of interest. Section off and divide a big yard into a number of different areas by utilizing points of curiosity comparable to benches, water options, and yard artwork. It will enhance an already healthful environment and making it the outdoor room of your private home.
To eliminate weeds and household junk at the similar time, use shredded spam as a fertilizer. Take the shredded pieces of mail, moist them, and lay them in your backyard. This can forestall weeds from rising on the places the place they're laid, and also will assist your crops to fight off diseases. Store your seeds nicely. If you don't store your seeds correctly, they will not final long. An amazing place to store your seeds in a darkish spot that is cool and has low humidity. You possibly can even use a refridgerator. You should use zip baggage to carry the seeds themselves.
Don't over-plant your produce. In the event you plant extra of a specific selection than you should utilize, store, and provides away, it should merely go to waste. Plan out your backyard so that you'll have enough, with out planting so much that your efforts will merely end up getting thrown away or rotting on the vine. Deadhead annual flowers constantly. This may encourage new progress and promote flowering all season. With perennials, reduce all the plant down by a third after flowering. It would bush out and offer you a new flush of flowers later in the season. At the finish of the season, depart the spent flowers on crops till they dry up, and acquire the seeds.
Plants are massive starch followers and thrive with water that contains larger ranges of starch, just like the water left over after you boil pasta or potatoes.

This is the season for long-term thinking. Finalizing marketing plans, getting budgets squared away, and looking at new strategic plans. Everybody is looking forward to moving ahead, increasing sales, improving on last year's numbers as markets continue to improve.
Odds are that most marketers are doing a great job of mapping out the strategy to get more people to consider a purchase. This recent study/article in the Harvard Business Review points out a major area of marketing strategy that is getting left out of the discussion: Post-purchase marketing.
We talked a little about having a back-up plan for success and heard from Steve Goldbach from Monitor Group on having a fully integrated marketing strategy. Fully integrated doesn't just mean up to the point of purchase. As Steve pointed out there's still more work to be done after the purchase. If getting people to buy is the only measure for success, then we need to lengthen our thinking and create a back-up plan for success.
Are we helping direct customers to product review sites? Are we collecting breadcrumbs along the way to give customers meaningful information after they buy? Are we empowering our biggest fans to tell others about our service or product? Are we using things like a surprise upgrade to make delivery and receiving the product even better?
The purchase funnel is only an apt metaphor to the point of sale. What are we doing to turn it into a mega-phone of word of mouth?

ThreatGEN™ Red vs. Blue - Multiplayer Cybersecuirty Training
What do you get when you cross INFOSEC training, hacking, and multi-player online gaming? This! Combining our passion for computer security, hacking, and video game development, we have created the world's first (we think) online multi-player red team vs. blue team computer security training simulator. No, this is not "Uplink" or "Hacker Evolution". This is head-to-head, human-on-human, cyber-warfare "RISK" in the form of an online multi-player computer game... in the cloud. No hacking or programming experience? No problem! We have designed a revolutionary way for anybody and everybody to play the part of the red team with no learning curve, and without sacrificing methodology fidelity.
ThreatGEN™ Cyber Range - Industrial Cyber Range & Training Simulator
As an extension to PCAP3D, ThreatGEN™ (a.k.a. "SimICS") is designed to receive actual ICS/SCADA protocol data from real-world devices. It then adds realistic, fully interactive, 3D models of pipelines, tanks, well heads, a refinery, electrical substations, and an offshore platform (all with full walk-through capability) to the environment. These environments are coded with realistic physics that provide visual feedback for penetration testing training/labs, hacking demonstrations, red team/blue team exercises, and more. Users can cause several safety hazards and disasters such as pipes exploding and tanks overflowing by exceeding physical limits and thresholds. Future plans for ThreatGEN will be the ability for users to configure custom layouts/environments, and support for Oculus Rift, allowing users to experience the environment in immersive virtual reality.
>>View Screenshots<<
>>ThreatGEN™ Cyber Range is a specific implementation based on the PhysicsGEN platform originally developed by Clint Bodungen and now owned and maintained by Derezzed LLC.<<
"Hacking Exposed, Industrial Control Systems: ICS and SCADA Security Secrets & Solutions"
The next title in McGraw Hill's infamous "Hacking Exposed" series, "Hacking Exposed: Industrial Control Systems" is a detailed technical reference that takes the reader through a keystroke by keystroke guided lesson on penetration testing an ICS environment using the same advanced techniques and methodology of a real-world hacker. Other key concepts are: How to setup and manage an ICS penetration testing project, how to perform a penetration test that is safe for ICS environments, ICS risk assessment/analysis methodologies, and how to defend against the attacks covered.

I met Jack once in the Moorings Hotel in 2016 day before he went in the wilderness and I wish I knew what an amazing and kind fundraiser Jack is!
He managed to climb 282 Scottish mountains all higher than 3000ft in just four months helped to raise more then £25,000 for the Household Cavalry Foundation and Parkinson's UK.
– and enjoyed it so much that he's now trying to survive in a forest on the Ardnamurchan Estate for a year, cut off from the world and using only natural resources. This challenge would help boost the local economy and planning officials recommended approval. It will bring some jobs and hopefully a tourism boots to a remote and economically fragile are of Lochaber/ Highland/Scotland.
He is an inspiration to me and I wish the best for him and his family.

Hey gang!
DJ Pappaledig here. Pappaledig is Swedish and can be translated to "daddy home from work to take care of kids while mommy works". I have two kids, ages 3 and 1, and as music is a large part of my life (believe it or not, it often makes me happy!), I'm trying to teach them rock as early as possible.
This playlist is the result of the lessons so far, and I think some of the artists and songs deserve a proper introduction. First out, the incredible Dixie Klasson. She's a one-hit wonder, but just like Right Said Fred or Baha Men her legacy is forever. The country/eurodance-influences and the lyrics about her beloved (little) horse Plopp is what makes the song great. We hope that Dixie will make a comeback soon!
Another favorite is Johan Jakobsson's banger "Min röda brandbil" (My red firetruck). The general feeling it creates is what makes this song great, along with the impeccable production. You might think that the peak is reached when the chorus kicks in. Hell no! You're really in for a treat when the harmonica attacks at 1,07. Goosebumps!
Sure, I know what you're thinking. Adding Babblarna to the list has been done before, it's mainstream and just not that exciting in 2018. Well, I think it's timeless. It's an evergreen. I will happily elaborate on this over a bee.. eh, some oatmeal, any time, but I'll just leave you by saying that Babblarna was a game-changer when it arrived in 2015 and will remain awesome forever.
The two outliers are Icona Pop and Little Jinder. I have no idea what happened here. The kids love them. I just don't get kids these days.
Enjoy! (At least the list is short).

China today faces a dilemma in healthcare development between the present and the future. A fundamental choice will need to be made between financial incentives for future medical innovation or price controls that broaden present access to care
This spring, the world watched closely as Chinese officials responded rapidly to a new avian flu virus. In addition to closing poultry markets and monitoring patients, Chinese physicians and public health leaders are collaborating with international experts and the World Health Organisation. China's healthcare system is demonstrating far greater capacity and responsiveness than in the 2003 SARS scare.
Ten years of reforms to China's healthcare system have significantly increased the availability of government-backed insurance and basic care to the world's largest population. Analysts predict that healthcare spending in China will grow to $1 trillion by 2020, triple present levels. The public is benefiting from improved care, longer lifespan, and a decrease in infant mortality. Nevertheless, tensions are apparent as people pay directly for care, hospitals build VIP suites for wealthy patients, and doctors have financial incentives to prescribe brand-name drugs.
China today faces a dilemma in healthcare development between the present and the future. A fundamental choice will need to be made between financial incentives for future medical innovation or price controls that broaden present access to care. Without incentives, the pharmaceutical and medical device industries will not prosper and develop new treatments. But without inexpensive diagnostics and treatments, current patients bear an unfair burden.China's GDP is striking not just for world-leading growth over the past three decades, but also for a very high savings rate. In effect, the Chinese public has deferred present-day consumption for infrastructure investment. But individuals also save to pay for future health expenditures for themselves and their families. Nearly 40 percent of health spending comes directly from Chinese patients, compared to between 10 and 15 percent across the OECD. Greater choice in insurance, both public and private, would enable healthcare to contribute to economic growth by rewarding inventors of new medicines or improved health services.Innovation Versus AccessEvery country strikes a balance between rewarding innovation and ensuring public access to care. The United States, for example, allows free-market pricing of insurance and medicine. Healthcare makes up nearly 20 percent of the GDP and supports diverse research-intensive biopharmaceutical and medical device firms. Even with expanded insurance under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the system is fundamentally oriented to leading edge treatment rather than the delivery of inexpensive care. In India, by contrast, recent court decisions weakening drug patents and government support for compulsory licensing of pharmaceuticals illustrate a focus on low-cost therapies. The healthcare system, which comprises just 4 percent of GDP, is targeting generic drug availability and inexpensive patient care.China has undergone significant shifts in its healthcare system during the past 60 years that provide context to present choices. Broadly, health policy from the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 through the 1980s was focused on meeting the basic health needs of peasants, soldiers, and workers. Healthcare was seen as an integral component of the communist system and all dimensions of care were collectivized, from hospitals to drug manufacturing.Alongside economic reforms since 1978, healthcare in China became a consumption activity. Conceptually, health shifted from a public good to the private responsibility of each individual. Institutionally, most healthcare services remained public, with government-set prices for doctor visits and surgery. But the provision of medicines, diagnostic tests, and specialized care moved to a free-market model. As a result, China's healthcare system is split between delivering low-cost care and supporting innovation through market incentives. If China develops innovative areas such as pharmaceutical drug development and health information technologies, the healthcare system can be part of an economic transition from manufacturing to services and from building infrastructure to consuming of domestically invented goods and services.__PAGEBREAK___
Clinical Trial InnovationA major opportunity is emerging for China to play a role in international drug development, including managing clinical trials. Significant investments are being made by multinational firms and the Chinese government to support basic biomedical research. But concerns about multinationals exploiting Chinese patients have led to delays in authorizing clinical trials and approving hospitals for international trials.Rather than serve solely as an outsourcing location for drug testing from the West, a new domestic-oriented approach would involve partnerships between biopharmaceutical firms and urban hospitals that work with county and township health centres. By building a national clinical trial programme, Chinese firms and Chinese physicians would gain expertise in managing multi-sited trials. Some years ago, analysts projected that Russia and India would become the main sites for clinical trials outside of the United States and Europe. However, neither has developed as expected, providing an opportunity for China to become a well-regulated but also efficient site for clinical trials of new therapies and new formulations of traditional Chinese medicines.Health Information TechnologyInformation technologies offer a second area in which China can respond to domestic health needs and gain a leading international position. The government is developing technical standards for health information technology and supporting its implementation. China is especially intriguing for the development of electronic medical records because of its large population and few legacy systems of paper records held by clinics and hospitals. Instead, individuals commonly have a small booklet with records of past doctor visits and hospitalizations. If China creates electronic medical records as in most Western nations, patients will be shifted to a more passive role relative to physicians and hospitals. Alternatively, a system that involves technology-savvy Chinese in the management of their medical data holds significant promise. Key features would include access from mobile devices, two-way interactions with medical authorities, and controlled access to data for biomedical researchers. In this way, patients would remain involved with their own care even as medicine improves from better knowledge about health outcomes and China benefits from research that builds on electronic records.Choosing InnovationChina's healthcare system relies largely on insurance through government programmes and co-insurance by individuals based on savings. Under an optimal co-insurance model, individuals pay out-of-pocket for the care they need, but do not seek unnecessary and wasteful treatments covered by insurance. But China's very high out-of-pocket healthcare spending contributes to under treatment of many conditions and a lack of financial reward for medical innovation. New government-backed catastrophic insurance may help resolve this tension. However, public catastrophic insurance might also constrain the development of private insurance by making it too difficult for insurers to create profitable patient pools. It may also drive up costs, as treatments price at or above the coverage baseline. The future of healthcare innovation in China hinges on the resolution of a two-sided dilemma. For private insurance to grow, clinics need to offer high-quality covered services. Public hospitals, which bill patients at government-set prices, are not equipped for private insurance reimbursement. But investors need to be convinced of the viability of private insurance plans to fund private hospitals and clinics. Likewise, pharmaceutical firms need some guarantee of payment to undertake research into new drugs. Thus clarity on the role for private insurers is essential to further development of the biopharmaceutical industry, private hospitals, and specialized clinics.Arthur Daemmrich is Visiting Assistant Professor of Business Administration at China Europe International Business School

It's no secret that Saturn has some pretty peculiar moons floating around it. For instance, Saturn's innermost moon, Pan, looks a lot like a walnut. Another one of Saturn's small moons, Atlas, resembles a flying saucer. Both Pan and Atlas have been described as space ravioli, as previously reported by the Inquisitr. Meanwhile, Saturn's moon Prometheus is often compared to a cigar due to its elongated shape — and even to a whale.
The gas giant has 62 confirmed moons and an additional nine that are waiting to be named, according to Cool Cosmos. And, while many of them sport bizarre shapes that boggle the mind, none are as artistic as this newly emerged photo of Dione and Rhea.
Captured by the late Cassini spacecraft on July 27, 2010, the dazzling snapshot showcases the two Saturnian moons in a very festive display that spreads the holiday cheer. The photo shows the icy moons Dione and Rhea stacked one above the other in the shape of an elegant "space snowman," as noticed by the European Space Agency (ESA).
"This very convincing image of a conjoined moon masquerading as a snowman is actually two separate Saturnian moons — Dione and Rhea — taken from such an angle by the international Cassini spacecraft that they appear as one," ESA officials said in a statement.

Unveiled by the space agency on December 10, this dazzling Cassini snapshot is the product of an optical illusion, as the ESA explained in the photo release.
While Dione and Rhea seem perfectly in sync as they cozy up to form a snowman in space, this is nothing but a trick of perspective. In reality, the two Saturnian moons sit a few hundred thousand miles apart and only appear to have come together for this rare Cassini shot due to the angle at which the spacecraft's camera was pointed.
Pictured as the head of the snowman, Dione "was actually closer to the spacecraft at the time the image was taken," notes the ESA. While Dione was photographed from a distance of around 685,000 miles, Rhea was sitting further away from Cassini, floating some about 995,000 miles away from the NASA-ESA probe.
"Dione has a diameter of 1,123 kilometers [698 miles] and Rhea is larger, with a diameter of 1,528 kilometers [949 miles], but they appear to have a similar size in this image due to the difference in distance," underlined the ESA.
This apparent symmetry contributes to the snowman mirage, which is enhanced by the fact that the two moons have similarly reflective surfaces, creating the impression that we're looking at a single object.
Another detail that makes the moons appear "to blend seamlessly together" in this newly released Cassini photo is the fact that Dione has a large crater located at its south pole. Known as Evander, the crater creates the illusion that the two moons are perfectly conjoined.
The differences between Dione and Rhea go beyond their size discrepancy. Dione's composition is one-third rock, the moon's core included, and two-thirds ice. At the same time, Rhea — Saturn's second largest moon, after the behemoth Titan — is made up of around one-quarter rock and three-quarters ice. This essentially makes it "a giant frozen dirty snowball," the ESA points out.
In addition, the two moons sit at different distances from their parent planet, the gas giant Saturn.
"Dione lies at roughly the same distance as the moon from the Earth and orbits around the ringed planet in just 2.7 days, while Rhea sits slightly further away and has a 4.5-day orbit."
Last but not least, Dione is severely pockmarked by craters. While it's not unusual for a moon to be pummeled by space debris — take a look at Earth's moon, for example — the craters on Dione seem to be on the wrong side of the moon. In a strange twist of events, Dione has many more craters on its trailing hemisphere, which is the side facing away from its motion through space, than on its leading hemisphere, notes Space.
"This unusual cratering pattern suggests that it suffered an impact which spun the moon around 180 degrees," explained ESA officials.

Connie Mizell Perry was born and raised in North Carolina, where she graduated from HS at the age of 16. Coming from an area in the south that was predominantly farming land, with little to no jobs, Connie wanted more for her life. Just 17 years of age, a good friend who was going to live with her sister in New York City invited Connie along; she accepted the friends offer and they moved to St. Albans, New York. Just six months after arriving in New York City, Connie gave birth to her first son, Marvin. Shortly after Marvin's birth, he was diagnosed with sickle cell anaemia, an inherited blood disorder; during that time there was not a lot of information on sickle-cell, Connie knew nothing about it - but managed to care for her son as he battled the disorder throughout his life.
Four years later Connie gave birth to her second child, a girl whom she named Nita. One day after her son Marvin returned home from a cub's scout meeting, he announced to his mom that he would not be going back because she never came to his meetings, and that all the other mother's were attending. No one could imagine that Marvin's statement to his mom would change the course of music history forever.
Connie attended the meeting, only to find out that the other mothers had never come. But that day she met Cub Master Jesse Mizell, who she later married and then gave birth to Jason Mizell AKA Jam Master Jay. Jason was in the third grade when the family purchased their first home in Hollis, Queens, where he grew up and ultimately became the DJ for the hip-hop iconic group Run DMC. Connie bought Jason his first and second set of turntables.
When asked "when did she realize her son was gifted?" Her response, "I knew Jason was special when he asked to join the church choir at five years old, sang lead and did an amazing job, that's when I knew."
Connie Mizell graduated college in 1982 from Adelphi University with a Master's Degree in Education, ultimately becoming a teacher with the New York City Board of Education. Jason and his friends were allowed to practice and hone their music skills in the Mizell's home, which became home-base to the group and provided them with a foundation. Connie got use to the group's loud music, and found herself not being able to study without it. During an awards ceremony for Run DMC, group member Rev Run stated "She never told us to turn the music down, not once!"
Currently, Connie Mizell is retired living back in North Carolina. She is an avid churchgoer and a missionary who is active in community service.

Fans of Mercurysteam have been wondering what was going on with the company, ever since the disaster that is known as Castlevania: Lord of Shadows 2. However during the past few weeks the company, along with Dave Cox, had been dropping cryptic hints as to what their next project was, though it was never uncovered. But that all stops today as Mercurysteam has officially announced that the project is a 3 vs 1 multiplayer title called "Raiders of the Broken Planet".
Our new game: Raiders of the Broken Planet #epic #adventure #multiplayer Find out more here https://t.co/CDweu2bqRc pic.twitter.com/GpdqbDdXZz
— MERCURYSTEAM (@mercurysteam) April 15, 2016
The title is in development for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. There's also a sign-up for an upcoming beta here, however it is only for the PC at this moment.
The new website page for Raiders of the Broken Planet was launched, however at the time the page appears to be down – here.
In the Lira Constellation, light years from Earth lies a Broken Planet. Long ago, its inhabitants discovered a powerful ability enhancing substance called Aleph. Today, this Broken Planet is home to the entire Universe's intergalactic scum and criminal lowlife. All are here to wrest control of the Aleph and thereby control the Universe.
Raiders of the Broken Planet is a Multiplayer Online Asymmetric Adventure: Fight the invaders teaming up with other Raiders, or turn the tables and storm into battle with those invaders fighting at your side!
With its distinctive blend of shooting, brawling and thinking man's strategy, Raiders of the Broken Planet is a mouth watering proposition to gamers looking for an immersive, cinematic story coupled with intense and epic action.
MercurySteam is also announcing that it will be self-publishing the game as an independent for the first time. The powerful story driven narrative will be delivered episodically, with each part selling at an extremely low and attractive price point. A company spokesman commented "We saw an exciting opportunity with this title to take advantage of digital distribution and offer the game at a much lower entry point than would otherwise have been possible. This model also allows us to work closely with gamers to create something that they can help shape too."
With this in mind, the company is planning multiple beta programs where players can get in early and help drive the games development. The new teaser site launched today allows players eager to get involved to sign up for the forthcoming beta program and find out the latest information on the game's development.
Not much else is known about Raiders of the Broken Planet, but I'm sure that's going to change and soon.
