Take a detour in between shows with our featured Copenhagen insiders. Today, founder and creative director of WorkSleepRepeat, Asger Juel Larsen, shares with you his hidden gems in the Danish capital.
Omar is a newly opened restaurant in Nørrebro and serves 8 carefully selected courses. It has a good open atmosphere and the owner Simon Leo Hansen will serve you well, while telling stories from here and there.
Depanneur has many titles. It is a shop, it is a bar and it is a great place to meet for a coffee, drink or beer. Always good people and music and very kind to dogs. Next door is Fætter Fætter, they serve the best toast in town. Both places are worth a visit.
Pumpehuset is my preferred place to watch gigs. Good sound, not too big, wide selection of artists and it still has this deep-rooted dirty feel, which makes it very authentic.


You may never crave traditional mac-and-cheese again after tasting this creamy, cheesy garlic-and-spinach version with penne pasta.
Cook pasta according to package directions, and drain. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Add milk, and cook until thoroughly heated. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and next 6 ingredients; whisk until smooth. Stir in spinach. Add cooked pasta, tossing to coat. Spoon into a lightly greased 13" x 9" baking dish.
Combine breadcrumbs, remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle breadcrumb topping over macaroni. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 20 minutes or until golden.
Fresh Spinach Substitution: You can substitute a 10-ounce package of fresh spinach instead of using frozen spinach, if desired. Just wash the spinach, trim stems, and coarsely chop the leaves. Then wilt the leaves for 1 to 2 minutes in hot water in a pan.

Understanding SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is usually quite confusing as a beginner or a business owner with no prior knowledge of digital marketing. In this guide, I want to help you understand SEO. What it is, how it works and why for most business's it really is worth doing (as long as it's done well…. more on that later).
Before I dive into it I want to paint a picture for you of a scenario that I see happening every day. This is the same for business owners all over the world and should help you understand SEO and its application.
You have gotten your website online and it looks great. Well done you have made it past the first hurdle. Now all you have to do is wait for customers to fall from the heavens and it will all be worth it right!
Although this is how most business owners expect their shiny new website to work, sadly it is not the case.
So why is it that a new website doesn't simply bring in business on autopilot? Well, let's find out.
I'm sure you have heard the term Search Engine Optimization or maybe you have heard something throwing around the shorthand version more commonly used which is of course SEO.
If you hired a web developer or digital marketing company to build your website then you may have even been offered a range of affordable SEO packages. Most business owners are confused by the terminology and simply turn down any offer from an SEO specialist.
That sounds like a great theory but it doesn't tell us much about how it actually works.
Let's tackle this one step at a time. First up we have our search engine. While there are other well-known search engines such as Bing and Yahoo we are going to stick with the largest of them all, Google.
We all use Google a lot these days. Usually when looking for an answer to a question. Where can I buy a car battery? What time does the movie start at this evening? And millions of other requests every minute of every day.
So how is it that when we type these queries into Google that the right results/answers show up? This is SEO in action.
Google crawls the entire internet and makes a library (index) of all of the sites and content. It uses things like Website or webpage age, keywords or terms and links to determine what the page is about and where it fits into the index of Googles search engine.
Some of the things mentioned in this video are a little dated but the overall concept it still the same. The general idea is Google wants to show the most high quality and relevant web page it can to a person who is searching for something.
Now that you have a general idea of how search works lets look at how it affects you and your website.
Let's start with a local business first to make it easier to understand.
You get the idea. Karen will see results which Google considers most relevant to the terms she has searched. If you are a double glazing business and you are on the top of page one of the results Google shows Karen you are in luck. There is a good chance she will click on your website link and get in touch with you.
So why are Senator Windows (in this case) higher in the rankings than company 2, 3 and so on. Occasionally this is blind luck but this is very rare. The most likely answer is that they have spent the time and effort putting together a quality website that provides the content that customers searching for these terms want to see.
As Matt from Google said in the video the page contains the keywords the person is searching for and also contains relevant related content which people find useful.
There are more factors but these form the foundations and particularly with a new website are a great place to start.
Another great example of how a business can leverage this kind of technique to attract website visitors (who ideally then become customers) is this campaign by furniture giants Ikea. They looked at what their typical customers were searching for and used a combination of good SEO techniques and humor to put together an excellent piece of marketing.
While this is not a typical example of using SEO to attract customers it does show you what thinking outside the box a little can do.
How do I apply SEO to my website?
By now we understand the concept of customers searching for terms or "keywords" in Google and we understand that Google wants to show them the best Website to fit the query.
So how do you go about making sure your website comes out on top when your potential customers are searching for your product or service?
If you follow these steps you will be streets ahead of most of your competitors. Even if you decide to buy SEO services you will have a much greater understanding of the process.
First up you need to figure out what types of terms your potential customers and clients are typing into the Google Search box. There are of course free and paid tools available to help with this.
If you are just starting out and are restricted by your budget then grab this free Chrome extension. It's called Keywords Everywhere. You will need to be using Google Chrome as your browser to use it.
Once installed you can start searching for terms you think customers might use. You may have spotted this earlier in my example but may not have realized it.
Unlike the standard Google search having Keywords Everywhere installed allows me to see additional information. There are additional pieces of info here but for now, let's just stick to the search volume.
In the case of our window supplier example, this term has a monthly search volume of 50. So what does that tell us?
This means that on average 50 people search for this term each month. At first, this might not seem like much but this is for a small localized search in a particular area.
Also, one thing that is often overlooked is if 50 people a month search for this term and 10 of them click on your website thats ten potential customers. Let's say two of them become customers. Assuming a full set of windows costs €10,000 that's€20,000 a month of new business.
Imagine almost €250,000 of new business a year just because your website was number one in Google for a term like this. You can really see how the power of understanding SEO starts to become important.
This is especially true when you consider that this is only one term and that you will probably target several terms.
Where to find more terms?
You may have noticed that Google displays related search terms at the very bottom of the search results page.
Just by searching that one term "window suppliers in dublin" we can see that 480 people a month also searched for "windows and doors dublin". Using the rough calculations we did about if 48 of those visit your website and 20% become customers, well you get the idea.
If you are just getting started Keywords everywhere will get you a long way. However, as with anything like this, there are paid tools which are more powerful. They also make it faster and more productive to carry out your research.
There are a lot of different paid keyword tools available but I would recommend using KWfinder especially for beginners. It's extremely easy to use and gets the job done quickly and with some great results.
Wait a second, you were just talking about SEO and now you're bringing up PPC. What in the world is PPC and why are you trying to confuse me.
If you look carefully you will see there is a small symbol on the right under the word Dublin. This indicates that this is an Ad. So how is that different to the other results?
It's important to note the difference between results with and without the ad symbol. If it says ad then the website owner is paying to display their website for that search term. This is like a digital version of a newspaper advert but they only have to pay if you click. This gives us the term PPC or pay per click.
I'm not going to go into these Google Ads in detail here. It's just important that you understand the difference for now.
But if I can pay to display my site why would I bother with SEO?
This is a common question and a subject that is often misunderstood. If you and several competitors are all targeting the same terms with paid Google ads then you are all bidding against each other. Unlike traditional advertising where you pay a set fee for a certain ad type or size, Google ads are done by bidding.
So if it's a competitive area you could by paying €5 or €10 per click. If you don't have a very high-value product or service this could get quite expensive. Additionally, when you stop paying for ads your website essentially disappears so there is no long-term advantage.
In contrast, you can start paying for ads and have them appear within minutes on the top of page one of the Google results. This can be an advantage for a short term or last minute campaign.
But let's get back to our window example. If our window business owner puts in either the time or invests the money to outsource the SEO work in the short term their site will rise to the top of the Google results. I should correct myself here and say that if the SEO work is done correctly the site will rise to the top of Google.
If you are looking at cheap SEO packages they may be too good to be true to watch out for dud offerings.
Long term the site will go on ranking with maintenance and continue to bring in customers without the need to pay for ads.
The downside is the upfront time or money investment and as SEO takes a little time to kick in you will usually have to wait at least 3 months to see results.
We now have our keywords and topics from the research we did above. Next up you need to fill your site with relevant and useful content which includes these keywords.
People can be lazy or just add any rubbish content to websites. Do not do this! Take the time to produce something your customers will want to read, watch or engage with and you will see the benefits.
This like your product or service features, Frequently asked questions, view guides and so on. If you can help answer the query the person visiting your site is looking for you have a great chance of making a sale.
It's important to give as much info as possible. While it depends on the topic and also your competitors as a general rule longer content (text) will rank higher in Google.
If you want to get into the technical details of how to structure your website and pages etc then I have a guide coming very soon which should help you.
For now, if you have selected your keywords and produced a reasonable amount of quality, relevant content on your site then you are half way there.
The last two major influences on how much love Google gives your website are Links and Social signals. This means how many other relevant websites link back to your site and how much social interaction does it get. This includes things like Facebook or Twitter likes and shares etc.
If you can combine all three of these areas, Keywords, Relevant Quality content and some reasonable backlinks you are well on your way to seeing your website on page one of Google. All going well it will be bringing in customers for you in a few months time.
This was just a quick overview on the basics of SEO and its advantages for business websites. Hopefully, you can take away a few key points and apply them to your website. If you have any questions please get in touch or leave a comment below. I would love to hear how you got on with your SEO experiments.

There's No Way to Run
1st of the week!
It had turned into a one-sided match within a short period of time. If this wasn't happening in real time, it would only be regarded as a legend that no one would ever believe, it was pathetic to watch a mid Divine Immortal expert being suppressed in such a way.
In the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, the two girls were stupefied, especially Huang Ying. From the beginning when Jiang Chen wanted to attack Lascivious City, she was full of fear and wanted to stop him very much. But now, all of her worries had been washed away. What seemed impossible to her was happening right before her very eyes.
"This is truly a miracle."
Huang Ying sighed in amazement. She could already tell that Lascivious Young Master was now in the losing side. If he didn't flee now, it was only a matter of time before he ended up dead in Jiang Chen's hands. She was now fully convinced of Jiang Chen's power. She had watched Jiang Chen's battle since the beginning – from the time he killed the two great demons until now. Every scene in the battle astonished her.
Like what Yan Qingcheng had said, this man was a creator of miracles. One could never judge him based on common sense. Anyone who dared to look down upon him would really end up miserable.
A dragon's roar rumbled across the sky. Jiang Chen shape shifted into a true dragon and integrated with the dragon sword. His current combat strength was at its peak. In addition to his attack strength, the most frightening was his Qi. Any enemy would falter before such a surging momentum.
Jiang Chen opened his huge dragon mouth and spewed out a fiery light. Each ray of fiery light merged itself with the sword intent of the Heavenly Saint Sword. Every stream of light was like a fiery sword rushing across the sky, lighting up the darkness in the sky and enshrouded Lascivious Young Master in an instant. This was the result of the combination of the Fire Dragon Seal and Heavenly Saint Sword.
On the other side, Ah Da and Ah Er exuded their Qi as well. Even they had to admit that fighting alongside Jiang Chen was exhilarating. The two barbaric bulls circulated their power to the maximum degree.
Three powerful attacks were sent out like waves that could move mountains and annihilate a portion of the starry sky.
Lascivious Young Master's facial expression changed upon seeing this scene. He had now lost all his composure because he could already feel the unprecedented Qi of danger.
"F*ck! This bastard is truly abnormal. He's able to muster so much strength despite him having just advanced to the Heaven Immortal realm. Adding the two barbaric bulls, I will be no match against them. I'd better flee now and have my revenge someday. By that time, I will ask help from my best friends to destroy him once and for all," he cursed in his heart.
Although he was reluctant to do so, he wasn't a fool. He had already predicted the outcome of the battle, knowing that it wouldn't be in his favour if he continued fighting. So, he might as well flee now and settle the score some other day.
Jiang Cheng and Ah Da and Ah Er's attacks landed on Lascivious Young Master at the same time, causing the young master's body to suffer a severe shock even though he had already casted out all of his means to block the attacks. As he had been wounded during the previous battles, his injury worsened and blood trickled out of his mouth while receiving the heavy bombardment from his enemies.
"Brat! I will remember this score today. Don't think it's easy to conquer my territory. It will be your death the moment I return!"
Lascivious Young Master shouted out a threatening remark and flew away in a ray of light.
A trace of a smirk was seen on the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth. He had already anticipated that the young master would escape, unfortunately, it was already too late for that. Big Yellow had already completed the grand formation and had fully integrated with Jiang Chen's Five Elemental Spheres. As such, it had become impossible for the young master to flee from the scene.
In Jiang Chen's opinion, the grand formation was good enough as long as it could temporarily trap Lascivious Young Master inside the formation.
"Lascivious Young Master, it's too late to go now. So stay!"
Jiang Chen lunged at him together with Ah Da and Ah Er with a murderous strike.
Currently, the young master detected that something wasn't right. He could feel the existence of a grand formation – an invisible barrier trapping him within. He also saw the disgusting big yellow dog baring his teeth at him.
"Break it open!"
Infuriated, the young master channelled all of his energy into his Immortal Weapon and slashed at the barrier violently.
*Pu Chi!*
As he was a mighty mid Divine Immortal expert, he was able to rip open the grand formation with a full-force slash. However, this gave Jiang Chen and the other two bulls enough time to launch their attack on him. Furthermore, this was the moment when the young master was at his most vulnerable state.
The attacks landed from above like a violent storm. Even though the young master had successfully broke open the grand formation, he was defenceless against the incoming attacks.
Subsequently, the young master was sucked into the violent storm created out of boundless destructive energy.
Wails were heard from the inside. It was the voice of the young master. Even a mid Divine Immortal expert couldn't escape the fate of being slaughtered.
Very quickly, the stormy energy faded and the young master started to materialize on the scene. His current appearance was beyond description. Many portions of the red robe that he was wearing were torn. Blood was gushing out from the wounds on his body and his Qi was withering like a dried plant. He had lost all the firmness he had had.
*Hiss!*
Numerous people sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the young master's current condition, especially those two early Divine Immortal experts who had already yielded to Jiang Chen. They could imagine what kind of consequences they would've faced if they refused to comply earlier.
"Ruthless! This young man is absolutely abnormal and monstrous. I can't believe that the mid Divine Immortal young master can be beaten up so badly."
"Ai! The ruler of the city is going to change again. Lascivious Young Master will surely die today, but he also deserved this. It's a good thing that he's going to be eliminated soon."
"There's no way he can live after being injured in such a way."
Noises of discussions were everywhere. Although Lascivious Young Master was yet to be killed, his current situation wasn't far away from death. The people could already imagine the outcome of this young master. Jiang Chen would surely never let him go, this was the Evil Abyss where mercy and kindness could never be found, only evils and murders. Therefore, the defeated opponent would only have one outcome – death.

Milos Island National Airport is an airport in Milos, Greece . Milos is an island in the Cyclades. The airport is located 5 kilometers southeast of the harbour of the island. The airport was opened on January 17, 1973. In October 1995, a new terminal was taken into use.

Infrastructure
As the airport has a small apron (7,800 square meters) and a short runway, only Dash 8, ATR 42, or smaller aircraft are able to use the airport. Plans exist for a 2,000 by 45 meter runway at a new location and the expansion of the apron space to 26,000 square meters. However, due to the economical difficulties, these plans have been suspended. The current apron can handle only one Dash 8 sized aircraft or two light aircraft at one given time.

Airlines and destinations
The following airlines operate regular scheduled and charter flights at Milos Island Airport:

Statistics

Annual passenger throughput

Ground transport
Other than by car, the airport is linked to the rest of the island by taxi. There are bus connections linking to the airport.

'Star Trek' Quadcopter Will Let You Fly the USS Enterprise
By Kasandra Brabaw 2016-02-19T20:13:59Z Tech
Spin Master's "Star Trek" Enterprise drone will be out July 1, just in time for the TV show's 50th anniversary.
(Image: © Tariq Malik/Space.com)
NEW YORK — "Just wait until you see the Enterprise." Those were the words we heard walking through Spin Master's booth at Toy Fair 2016. (When you tell people you work for a website called Space.com, they assume you and your co-workers are all a bunch of Trekkies — and they're right.) Seconds after hearing this, we turned the corner and came face to face with the toy we'd been seeking for two days: a Starship Enterprise drone.
It was, surprisingly, the only "Star Trek" drone we came across at Toy Fair this year, but it fulfilled every fantasy we had for the toy. The drone is modeled after starship Enterprise NCC-1701A, the second ship in the series to bear the name Enterprise. Called Enterprise-A for short, it replaced the original ship in 2286 after the first Enterprise was destroyed when Kirk flew to the Genesis Planet to rescue Spock.
The Air Hogs USS Enterprise NCC-1701A quadcopter drone can be seen in action in this still from a Spin Master video.
(Image credit: Tariq Malik/Space.com)
Spin Master's Air Hogs model replicates Enterprise perfectly, complete with blue lights and 10 authentic sound effects. The four rotors that lift and steer the drone are even hidden inside the ship's saucer, so they don't detract from the overall realistic look. Other than the see-through saucer, it's an almost exact replica of Kirk's ship.
So set phasers to fly: The Enterprise drone is expected to hit store shelves July 1, just in time for "Star Trek's" 50th anniversary and should retail for $129.99.

Loan Watch | Wade Keeps Clean Sheet On Guiseley Debut
Goalkeeper Brad Wade kept a clean sheet on his debut for Guiseley AFC on Saturday.
The Dale Academy graduate joined The Lions on a month's loan on transfer deadline day, in time for their Vanarama National League North game away to Darlington.
They ran out impressive 3-0 winners, thanks to Hamza Bencherif and a brace from Aram Soleman.
Wade had a relatively quiet afternoon but drew praise from Guiseley boss Marcus Bignot.
"I was delighted with him," said Bignot speaking to the Guiseley AFC official website.
"He had a one-on-one where he came out and made himself absolutely massive. That was the only action he had to be called upon in terms of keeping the ball out of the net.
"Other than that, he had to keep his concentration. We're really big here in terms of the goalkeepers in our possession and build-up, and I thought he was excellent with the ball at his feet.
"He can be delighted."
Guiseley's next game sees them take on AFC Telford at home on Saturday 8th February.

According to state police at Lehighton: The two teens and another male juvenile were in a car that was stopped at the Rainbow Terrace Cul de Sac near Squirrelwood Court when they were approached by multiple assailants. The assailants then robbed the teens and fired multiple rounds into their car.
Aiden Paiz, 15, of Kunkletown was shot and died at the scene, police said. The 17-year-old, who was not identified, was taken to Pocono Medical Center for treatment. The third juvenile was not hurt.

Has Political Representation Deteriorated Over The Years Affecting True Development?
Voting Rights of the people | Image Credit to Citylabs
Jeevan Robinson
Many persons have, at various times, commented on what it is that mainly puts them off politics. We often hear of a disconnect with politicians from voters who grow tired of empty and repetitive election campaign promises. Then, there is this perception that most politicians are often about self, only being 'for the people' during elections season whilst on a quest for votes. It is situations such as these that contribute to what has been termed as voter apathy.
In small island societies, the theatre surrounding politics is often magnified. I have long observed and argued that politics in some of the islands appears to be somewhat of a power grab, and less about bringing lasting solutions to the troubling issues affecting people's lives. I have often questioned whether some politicians are more invested in satisfying special interest groups, campaign financial supporters, and party loyalists, rather then implementing well thought out policies during their term in office, to spur widespread development for as many people as possible.
It can be argued, that if the common person, who struggles daily to keep themselves and their families afloat, cannot see an improvement in their living condition from what it was at the beginning of a politician's tenure, to when their term in office ends, then it is justifiable to debate if that politician has failed.
Across the region, it is currently political season for some of the islands. Namely, the islands of Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, St Kitts/Nevis and Montserrat, all have pending elections.
In Antigua and Barbuda the incumbent leader, Prime Minister Spender says his party is ready to; "Bang dem again….and confine the challengers, the Antigua & Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) to history."
In St Kitts/Nevis the incumbent leader, Prime Minister Douglas' rhetoric has amused, as well as it has been filled with clout and glamour. Douglas has stated boldly that he is "ten men in one!"
Meanwhile, on Montserrat, the incumbent leader Premier Meade, who once dubbed himself as a suicidal politician, says that his Movement for Change & Prosperity (MCAP) team is the team that should be kept to "fulfill the dream."
In Dominica, the incumbent leader Prime Minister Skerritt has stated; "Young people are saying to us in Dominica that five more years for Skerrit, five more years for Labour and five more years for them here in Dominica."
All the language being delivered during political season 2014 is confident language; so designed to project an image of invincibility to the voters heading towards voting day.
What I have found noticeable is that the level of toxicity injected into these island's political climate is often verbal, not the indiscriminate violence that is a feature of some other country's politics that over-shadows the real concerns of the people.
Travelling across the region, I have been at pains to understand the political culture. Where, from speaking to locals in various islands, a common theme pervades. It would appear that individuals who do not support the party in power, or those that are vocal with their positions on the issues that are contrary to the political propaganda of the day, are victimised by those who have power , with access to economic mobility sometimes even threatened or stagnated.
Many politicians often say the things that are deemed necessary to win an election, delivering rhetoric that they deem the voters want to hear. The practice of delivering promises on the platform that are unrealistic and fiscally irresponsible is a failure of electioneering on two fronts in my view. It gives voters a false sense of security, thinking that their candidate of choice can make good on all they have assured they will deliver once elected.
Additionally, this is where the role of the media in the entire election process becomes paramount. If politicians are not challenged on their fanciful language, broken down so that voters can understand what exactly is at play, many would march straight into office without any semblance of a challenge to their claims. A strong media contingent I feel is crucial to democratic electioneering. Sound bites and sassy slogans that sound great to the public at large ought to endure a process of being broken down and analysed, to conclude if anything substantial, if at all, is being communicated.
My political ideology is coined from a basic premise; which is the advancement of the human condition. Political policy should be weighed against its impact on the lives of citizens. Does a particular policy cause harmful setbacks? Does it benefit a select crowd or are policies thought out properly and consulted widely so as to impact positively as wide a cross section as possible?
From observation, it would appear that the questioning of policy often ends up with very skewed interpretations from party supporters and the political candidates themselves. Views expressed with no basis of personality bias are mirrored from that perspective. The essence of debating the issue at hand becomes lost in the assumption that the person raising the questions must be against the politician or party being questioned. If we look at the trend of politics throughout the region, we find this type of divisive politics almost commonplace throughout. This is where politicians again have failed, lowering the bar in that they seek to stifle an open debate on the issues, rather than fostering dialogue and allowing all ideas to contend. Voters must be mindful of politicians with such tendencies. They are dangerous.
The democracies across the Eastern Caribbean are new democracies, with the exception of Haiti that fought for and won its emancipation from the tyranny of slavery through the bravery of Toussaint L'Overture and his comrades. The battle for Haiti, also known as the battle of Vertières, ended in French defeat in 1803, and saw Haiti becoming an independent country in 1804. There is no democracy in the Caribbean that boasts a century of independence outside of Haiti.
Being released from the trappings of servitude under European landlords and economic pillagers, the people of the Caribbean were thrust into a wider world where trade, finance, economics, infrastructure development, educational planning, workforce readiness and ongoing training, plus a host of other primary concerns were thrust on our leaders to take forward on behalf of the people of the region.
There has been significant progress I agree, as there are regional institutions across a wide spectrum that have made contributions to the Caribbean's development. But the question still lays restless on mind, wondering if this current crop of political leaders have done enough to advance the case of development for the people of the region?
I look today and see a Caribbean where the spear of politics and the desire to maintain power at all costs by some leaders has seen development, but also stagnation has crept in equally. Innovation and building competitive economies has suffered due to political waste. Responding to the rapid developments in the global economy has seen the region lag and in some ways now playing a game of catch-up. Do we lack leaders who are truly about country first?
Former pioneering leaders such as Eric Williams of Trinidad & Tobago, VC Bird of Antigua and Barbuda, Dame Eugenia Charles of Dominica, John Compton of St Lucia, W H Bramble of Montserrat, Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw of St Kitts and Nevis - these are names that one still hears of, even in today's political climate with a new crop of leaders on display.
Where are the great leaders I ask with the transformational leadership via their policies and programmes to change the lives of citizens towards the better for generations to come, outside of an immediate, short-term impact? Do we have a problem of visionary leadership across the region?

Colloidal Silver is a solution containing microscopic particles of pure silver permanently suspended in de-ionized water. The solution inhibits the ability of disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, virus, fungus and parasites from assimilating oxygen. As a consequence, the disease-causing organisms literally suffocate and die.
Pure silver has been used for hundreds of years in the prevention and treatment of illness from injury or toxic substance. During the Middle Ages silver goblets were used as drinking vessels in the belief that they prevented poisoning from bad wine or contaminated water or other liquid.
Pure Silver has been used as a liner in water canteens since the 100's. The water held in these canteens stays sweet and clean until consumed.
No research has shown that any known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver.

Towards a Joint EU-Africa Strategy
EARN/CEEI International conference on 'Emerging actors in Africa: Impact and opportunities for EU-Africa and global relations'
The Joint Strategy
Africa-EU Dialogue
Trilateral relationship between UN-AU-EU in making
According to the Xinhua News Agency, the EU has reaffirmed its strong engagement with the United Nations, particularly in Africa where a trilateral relationship between the UN, African Union (AU) and EU is already in the making to enhance regional cooperation. The statement came as the acting head of EU delegation, Pedro Serrano, spoke to an open Security Council debate on the cooperation between the UN and regional and sub-regional organizations in maintaining international peace and security. "A genuine trilateral UN-AU-EU relationship is already in the making," Serrano said, adding that the EU maintains a high level of engagement with the UN, especially in Africa.
The EU has deployed two military operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in support of the UN mission in the DRC (MONUC), Serrano said. The UN Security Council Wednesday extended the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in the war-torn DRC until May 31, 2010, and called on MONUC to "ensure the effective protection of civilians, humanitarian personnel and United Nations personnel and facilities." The EU is currently working with the UN and the Congolese government towards the reform of its security sector in addition to assisting the African Union (AU) in Darfur and putting into place an operation in Chad at the UN's request, Serrano said. Reaffirming the EU's support in finding a peaceful solution to the Somali crisis, Serrano said the EU is working "very closely" with the UN in assisting the fight against piracy off Somalia's coast as well as helping the Transitional Federal Government (TFG)in the development of their security forces and supporting the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
Meanwhile, Serrano touched upon a plethora of global issues which requires collective global action, naming climate change as one of them. "We cannot afford to fail," Serrano said underscoring that the political agreement in Copenhagen must now be "translated into firm obligations and followed by effective implementation."
Serrano reaffirmed EU's support for the regional integration agenda as a means to achieve economic growth and peace where he said the EU has developed regional strategies in partnership with all world regions.
"The challenges facing the international community — poverty, conflict, terrorism, non-proliferation, climate change, are closely interlinked and of a magnitude that requires collective action," Serrano said.

When Dr. Mary Horowitz decided she wanted to go to medical school, MCW was first choice for the New York City native.
On paper and in person, Dr. Horowitz is the walking embodiment of the woman who has it all. She married in college, and eight weeks before she began her medical education at MCW, gave birth to the first of their three children. It didn't impact her career plans, just enriched them. She went on to complete medical school in 1980, did her residency at MCW, served as chief resident, completed a fellowship, joined the faculty, and even earned her masters' degree along the way. She is now the chief of hematology and oncology at MCW and the chief scientific director of the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research.
"It is a lot different now than it was then. The work hasn't changed, but a lot of things have changed for women," muses Dr. Horowitz. "I remember coming in to see a critically ill patient one night. In the room was the medicine resident, the surgical resident and the anesthesiology resident – all were women. I made a comment to that effect and their response made me realize that they that they were totally unaware of how unusual that would have been just a short time ago. And that made me feel really good. Not that I felt being a women ever held me back – it is just nice to have more of us around.
Dr. Horowitz speaks the way she teaches: Matter-of-fact. Direct. Humble, but with an air of authority. That authority, in tandem with her educational background and constant desire to learn, led to a rare honor. Dr. Horowitz's name is attached to the largest federal research grant ever awarded to MCW-- $45 million entrusted to her by the United States to advance the science of blood and marrow transplants. In 2014, she received the American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation's Lifetime Achievement Award.
And when she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer, Dr. Horowitz turned that personal challenge into a learning experience.

Stephenie Meyer's 'The Host' Trailer: a Sci-Fi Love Story (Video)
November 13, 2012 12:50pm by Erik Hayden
The film, to be released in March 29, 2013, is adapted from a novel penned by the author of the 'Twilight' series.
Stephenie Meyer fans won't have to wait very long after the release of Breaking Dawn: Part 2 to see another one of the author's beloved novels released as a feature film.
The official trailer for The Host -- a science-fiction love story set on a planet Earth conquered by aliens -- seems like it's on familiar tonal terrain as the world-conquering vampire franchise.

"This is the beginning of a love story," narrates actress Saoirse Ronan, who plays Melanie Stryder -- and her alien inhabitant, Wanderer -- in the film. "And it may not seem like a big deal, except for one thing -- this is the future, and humanity is all but extinct. We have been invaded by another species, who erase our minds to take our bodies. But there are a few of us left who still fight back."
Unlike the teaser -- which was released last March and comprised mostly of narration and film stills -- the latest clip gives a first glimpse of the interaction between Stryder and fellow human Jared Howe (Max Irons), who first finds Stryder after roaming the planet without "speaking to another human being in two years."
The film is directed by Andrew Niccol and is scheduled for release on March 29, 2013. It also stars Diane Kruger, William Hurt and Jake Abel.

Q: How does Javascript scope changes to String.prototype? I just took over a NodeJS application. I notice that this function is repeated in almost every file:
String.prototype.replaceAll = function (find, replace) {
    var str = this;
    return str.replace(new RegExp(find.replace(/[-\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\$&'), 'g'), replace);
};

I'm thinking this only needs to happen once?
I'm assuming that if I put this some place high in the code, in a file that is called for every page, then this change is global?
I'd like to think I can delete all but one of these functions.

There is a lot of work that goes into keeping a family healthy. Just keeping track of the annual pediatric check ups, the dentist appointments every 6 months, and maybe even a trip to the optometrist is a job in itself.

But goals are a great opportunity to help kids learn the importance of healthier food choices and being active by encouraging kids to set healthy goals!

Nurses sue Pasadena psychiatric hospital
PASADENA, Calif. Four nurses filed the class action suit against Aurora Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena. Former employees claim the private psychiatric facility was severely understaffed, which comprised patient care.
More: Most Popular stories, videos and more
More: Get breaking news alerts
Former employees told Eyewitness News, they worked passed their shifts with no overtime pay to finish their work obligations. The plaintiffs also claim the hospital told workers not to spend time studying for mandatory exams, to avoid paying them overtime. Employees also say the answers were provided for the exams. In addition, the former workers allege unsanitary conditions for employees.
"I was a night shift supervisor -- and you have to remember this is 27 acres, 138 bed facility -- and if a toilet was plugged I had to run and find plungers, I had to get toilet paper. There was only one plunger sometimes for the whole hospital. We couldn't find another one," said Robin Motola, a plaintiff.
"It was very difficult to provide patient care and in good conscience do what you need to do, we were unable to take a break just because patient care would suffer," said Rudy Breilein, another plaintiff.
According to the Los Angeles Times, this is not the first time the hospital has come under scrutiny. Three adult patients died unexpectedly and a 14-year-old was raped there over a five month period last year.
The Times reports the hospital had been inspected at least six times in 2007 by government regulators, who reported a number of failures in patient care.
The plaintiffs in this latest lawsuit say their goal is to improve the quality of care at Las Encinas.
Eyewitness News tried to contact the hospital for comment, but the attorney representing the hospital would only say it is not their policy to comment on pending litigation.

Venezuela Graduates First Cohort of Doctors for Acclaimed Health Program
Venezuela's community health program Barrio Adentro made important strides yesterday with the graduation of the first group of Venezuelan doctors from the Cuban system of General Integral Medicine.
By Chris Carlson - Venezuelanalysis.com
Apr 11th 2007 at 6.16pm
barrio_adentro_grads.jpg
Mérida, April 11, 2007 (venezuelanalysis.com)— Venezuela's community health program Barrio Adentro made important strides yesterday with the graduation of the first group of Venezuelan doctors from the Cuban system of General Integral Medicine. President Hugo Chávez also announced the upcoming inauguration of the Latin American Medicine School in Caracas this Sunday.
After a three year program of studies, 1,013 Venezuelan doctors graduated yesterday in General Integral Medicine, the Cuban-developed system of preventative health care. These Venezuelan doctors will now be able to replace their Cuban colleagues who have been working in Venezuela for the last 4 years in the Barrio Adentro (Inside the Barrio) program.
"This is one of the huge differences between neo-liberal capitalist governments and a socialist government," said President Chávez in his speech during the graduation ceremony yesterday in the Teresa Carreño Theater in Caracas.
Chávez criticized that neo-liberalism and capitalism seek to privatize national health and education systems, condemning millions of people in the world to "suffering, pain and death."
Barrio Adentro, the national health system established by the Chávez government, has for the most part relied on Cuban doctors to staff the thousands of new clinics built around the country since its inception in 2003. Some 20,000 Cuban doctors and assistants now work in Venezuela as a part of the cooperative partnership between Cuba and Venezuela.
The goal of the Venezuelan government is to train the required Venezuelan specialists to replace their Cuban counterparts over the next few years. According to Adolfo Delgado, President of the Venezuelan Bolivarian Society of General Integral Medicine (SVBMGI), the nation will require six thousand specialists to be trained over the next 6 years.
The Venezuelan doctors receive a postgraduate degree in General Integral Medicine from the Institute of Higher Studies in Public Health (Iaesp) in Venezuela. The program focuses on basic medical care at the community level and educates the students through hands-on training in community health clinics.
"We hope to achieve a total consolidation of Barrio Adentro I, the first level of attention which is preventative medicine," said Delgado. With the first stage of the program, which consists of thousands of community health clinics, a solid base is guaranteed in which 80 to 90 percent of all health problems can be treated, according to Delgado. The next stages, Barrio Adentro II, III, and IV, are for more advanced treatment.
The Venezuelan government claims that 18 million people, about 70% of the population, have been treated through the Barrio Adentro program, and that thousands of lives have been saved.
Latin American Medical School
During the graduation ceremony, President Chávez also announced the inauguration of the Latin American Medical School (ELAM) in Caracas. Next Sunday, April 15th, Chávez will be inaugurating the first International Course of medicine in the new school.
The school, with a capacity of 1,900 students, will be the second of its kind following the opening of the first Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, Cuba in 1999.
Like its counterpart in Cuba, the new medical school will train students from all over Latin America in General Integral Medicine and will provide training, materials, housing, food and uniforms to the students free of charge.
Venezuela's Community Doctors Gain Legal Recognition
After a reform to the Medical Practice Law, the new integral community doctors, trained through the Mission Sucre and Barrio Adentro programs, have legal...

'I'm begging you: Get vaccinated,' Yukon premier implores public while announcing rise in COVID-19 cases
Yukon fast-tracking proof of vaccine requirement
Vaccination rates on the rise
Frontline workers being mistreated
Yukon Premier Sandy Silver implored all Yukoners on Wednesday to get vaccinated against COVID-19, saying there has been "widespread and untraceable" community transmission in Whitehorse.
"Please, I'm begging you: Get vaccinated," Silver said. He noted a "high risk of COVID-19 exposure throughout the city and increased risk in our rural communities."
Silver made the comments alongside the Yukon's acting Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Catherine Elliott, while they gave an update on the territory's COVID-19 situation.
Of 156 active cases in Yukon Wednesday, 108 were in Whitehorse, Elliott said.
WATCH | Yukon Premier Sandy Silver talks about fast-tracking new measures:
As part of a response to 'widespread and untraceable' transmission of COVID-19 in Whitehorse, Yukon Premier Sandy Silver said the government is fast-tracking a proof of vaccine requirement for designated settings. 1:17
Earlier this week, the Yukon government declared a state of emergency after the territory reported 80 new COVID-19 infections over a three-day period, and announced new health regulations, including a proof-of-vaccination requirement.
While the new rules take effect Saturday, the territory said in a statement that Yukoners are "strongly encouraged" to adopt the measures immediately.
One of the measures is mandatory proof of vaccination against COVID-19 in designated settings for those aged 12 and up.
Proof of vaccination will be needed at bars, restaurants, gyms, recreation facilities, art galleries, theatres, and hair and nail salons, but not to access essential services like health care, grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, public transportation and shelters, the territory said in a news release.

The release said a free Yukon-specific QR code reader app is being developed so local businesses and organizations can verify vaccination status.
People can show paper or digital copies of their proof of vaccination credentials, and they'll need to show a piece of government-issued ID.
WATCH | Missed the news conference? Watch it here:
With community transmission in Whitehorse, the territory is no longer issuing exposure notices since it considers all community activities to be a potential source of transmission. Flight exposures will continue until Nov. 15, at which point they will discontinue, as the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is also ending its COVID-19 flight exposure reporting, Elliott said.
She recommended avoiding travel between communities, and while schools can remain open, students should wear masks at their desks.
When asked how the territory went from few measures to a state of emergency, Elliott cited the circulation of a highly transmissible variant and people having more gatherings indoors due to cooler weather.
"We have a more transmissible virus that's causing severe illness amongst younger people, young adults. We haven't seen that in the past," she said. "It's winter. People are moving indoors and people are having large number of contacts."
Asked why school sports were suspended but club sports and recreational sports were allowed to continue, Elliott said it's a "short lived, temporary measure that we are using to reduce group sizes and contact sizes and mixing.
"I'm hoping that we'll be able to get these things back and going as soon as possible."
Vaccination rates have been on the rise too with over 90 per cent of those 12 years and older with first doses and 86 per cent with second doses, she said.

"Each person who gets their shot is a person who is more protected, less likely to get infected to spread the virus and to get severely ill," Elliott said.
Silver said the territory has heard that community nurses and other frontline staff are being insulted, verbally abused and even physically abused by people who are angry about the new requirements.
"There are growing concerns about their safety. This is absolutely unacceptable and it needs to stop," Silver said.
"Our territory has a dedicated team of healthcare professionals that have been working flat out for 20 months to help all of us — to help our families, our neighbours, our friends — to stay healthy and safe," he said.
"Not very Yukon of us."

2011 Iditarod race, current standings: It's the evening of March 11, 2011, about 7pm, and the Iditarod mushers continue to blaze their trails across the Alaskan wilderness.
As mentioned this morning, musher Hugh Neff appears to be in the lead, having come through the Grayling checkpoint just five minutes before John Baker, and 47 minutes before four-time defending champion Lance Mackey.
As you can see, the first nine mushers have made it through the Grayling checkpoint, while the other mushers haven't made it to that checkpoint yet.
As you can see on my Iditarod checkpoints and distances page, the distance to the next checkpoint (Eagle Island) is sixty miles, while the distance from Anvik to Grayling was only eighteen miles.
Other checkpoint distances include 70 miles from Eagle Island to Kaltag, 90 miles from Kaltag to Unalakleet, and then 40 miles from Unalakleet to Shaktoolik.
As usual I'll try to update my list of 2011 Iditarod current standings at least once or twice a day. I hope it will be fun and interesting to look at the twists and turns of the race after the race is over.
