Open daily 11am – 6pm, late night Thursdays until 8pm
The public can now view a selected short list from a very substantial field of over 450 entries for the inaugural biennial Chaiya Art Awards 2018, in an exhibition from 29th March to 8th April at London's South Bank gallery@oxo. The theme set this year is 'Where is God in our 21st century world?
Competition founder Katrina Moss is delighted with both the quality and variety of the response. "We wanted an inclusive competition for artists, whatever their faith or views on God." she commented. "The aim was to inspire an artistic response, providing insight on a mysterious and fundamental question."
The panel of five judges, all well respected experts in the arts arena, will be announcing the winners of the top prize of £10,000 along with other prizes on the Preview night. But visitors will also have their say, in voting for their own choice from among the works of art on display.

Kingsley had reviewed Froude's History of England in Macmillans Magazine and commented: "truth, for its own sake had never been a virtue with the Roman clergy . . . [and] Father Newman informs us that it need not, and on the whole ought not to be; that cunning is the weapon which Heaven has given to the saints wherewith to withstand the brute male force of the wicked world which marries and is given in marriage."
Although Newman contacted Kingsley asking him to point out where and when he had ever said such a thing, Kingsley ignored that question and just offered an apology.
An exchange of letters ensued which resulted in Newman's pamphlet Mr. Kingsley and Dr. Newman: A Correspondence on the Question Whether Dr. Newman Teaches That Truth is No Virtue. Instead of letting the matter drop, Kingsley flailed out in his own pamphlet: "What, Then, Does Dr. Newman Mean?" A Reply to a Pamphlet Lately Published by Dr. Newman. In his pamphlet Kingsley foolishly broadened his charge: not only had Newman made a statement he denied having made and which Kingsley was unable to locate, Newman had also lived a dishonest life. Throughout that text, Kingsley presents one of his main themes (found for instance in his novel Westward, Ho!): that there is something un-English about Catholicism, that the latter is foreign, deceptive, and manipulative--and that somehow becoming Catholic (Romish, Romanist are Kingsley's perferred terms) Newman had betrayed his country, wasted his Oxford education, and ignored the virtues of his English heritage.
Of course the Apologia pro Vita Sua put the lie to that charge, vindicated Newman completely, and made Kingsley look rather ridiculous. Kingsley was not sophisticated enough to face Newman's argument and persona; I remember reading that their verbal duel was like a country bumpkin challenging a trained swordsman, the former armed with a stick, the latter with a fine rapier. By giving Newman the occasion to write about his religious opinions from his youth to his conversion to Catholicism to demonstrate his honesty, Kingsley also gave Newman the opportunity to convince Anglicans who had remained in the Oxford Movement that he had been sincere in his efforts in that cause and to persuade Catholics that he was truly a Catholic, not with one foot in Canterbury and the other in Rome.

Adam here at Short Wave Rockin. This is the first compilation compiled by myself of bands that I found on MySpace that don't suck. I thought long and hard about what to call it and I could only think about Zombies… So officially and amazingly, here is the Short Wave Rockin Zombie Dance Compilation #1.
Here is the plan: I want to start making compilations of tiny independent bands that I like and more importantly: allow their songs to be downloaded on MySpace. What the fuck is up with this? Why would an unsigned band not want their song to be downloaded off their MySpace? Stupid motherfuckers. Maybe they think the song will make them rich one day. I don't know. Anyways, my process was basically going to bands I knew I liked and seeing who they were friends with and the chain went on for a long long time. When I got to a band I, 1) checked to see if they were either unsigned or on a truly independent label (none of those "indie" rock bullshit labels) 2) I clicked on download on their songs to see
If they passed these two steps, I gave em a listen and if I liked what I heard, I put them on this compilation.
It's pretty simple, though it took forever because hardly anyone allows themselves to be downloaded.
If you are in a band and have a MySpace- please let me download your songs- what the fuck!?
This was done with absolutely no permission from any of the bands. I don't know any of the bands and I even had enough restrain to not include my own band (even though we are now dead) I'm looking at the list now and I put the Dwarves on there! Haha, anyways, most of the bands are really small..haha how did that happen?
Also, I'd love it if you would make your own mix with the same goal of listening to new bands that don't suck.
01. Bad Sports- Ooh Ooh Ooh
02. Charlie and the Moonhearts- Shucka Shucka
03. Vivian Girls- Damaged
04. Kamikaze Trio- Make This Place Mine
05. Uh-Oh- Lofi Disaster
06. Digger and the Pussycats- All Time Low
07. Dynamo- All the Beautiful Girls

- aubergines 2 large or 3 smaller, sliced
- olive oil
- potatoes 4, peeled and sliced
- onion 1 large, finely chopped
- garlic 2 cloves, crushed
- minced lamb 750g
- cinnamon 2 tsp
- red wine a glass
- passata 1 × 600ml bottle
- butter 75g
- flour 75g
- milk 600ml
- eggs 2
- green salad to serve
Step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Brush the aubergine slices with olive oil and season, put them in a single layer on non-stick baking sheets (you'll probably need 2 large ones). Cook for 30-40 minutes, turning once, until the aubergines are tender and golden.
Step 2
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until just tender, then drain well.
Step 3
Fry the onion in a little oil until soft, then add the garlic. After a minute, add the mince and brown it, breaking up any lumps. Add the cinnamon, wine and passata, season and simmer for about 30 minutes, then bubble off any excess liquid.
Step 4
Heat the butter in a pan, stir in the flour and cook for a few minutes. Gradually add the milk, stirring until you have a smooth sauce. Season.
Step 5
Turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Layer the lamb, aubergine and potato in an ovenproof dish. Whisk the eggs into the white sauce and spoon it over the top. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is puffed and dark golden brown. Leave to sit for 10 minutes before cutting into large squares to serve.

We've all done this:
You grab your phone or computer, open a tab, and browse the web.
Well all do it, but very few of us stop to think about how it all works. How does something go from an idea, to an entire website?
In this expansive guide, I'll introduce you to the world of hosting with the ultimate hosting beginner's guide. Here are the chapters we'll be covering:
Chapter One: What is Web Hosting Anyway?
Let's start from square one. If you're already familiar with hosting and how websites function behind the scenes, skip on ahead to chapter two. If you're looking for the full course, here's what we're covering in chapter one:
- Underneath it all, what's a website?
- The types of websites on the World Wide Web
- Where everything is stored
- The purpose of a hosting company
Underneath it All, What's a Website?
Beneath the cool images, the interactive animations, the embedded videos, and all those glorious words, are lines and lines of code and data. The skeleton of a website is a complex and beautiful thing, but it's mostly complex.
Luckily, you won't ever have to touch anything that complicated unless you want to. Creating a website is easy with all the tools on offer these days.
As you're browsing the web, you'll come across different types of websites and online applications. Here are three examples of the different website types:
- A Collection of Static Pages – This is the most basic form of a website. Here you'll see pages that don't change and typically display the same information regardless of when you visit. For these types of sites, you're simply looking at a document that someone uploaded.
- An Online Application – These are programs that run on the internet. They can be anything from your Gmail account, to your Facebook page, to the online games you play in your browser.
- Content Management Systems (CMS Websites) – This category covers websites that were made using a platform like WordPress. Most websites these days (blogs especially) are made using this type of technology. These websites store the content in a database, so when you click a link or pull up a post, your web browser is requesting that document for you to view.
When you enter a website address in your browser, your computer sends a request to the server where that website it stored. This request could be for a page, a document, or an application. The address you type into the search bar acts as that initial request.
The content you request is then delivered to your web browser by the server and you see it on your screen. This exchange happens, ideally, in less than a few seconds.
Can I Host My Own Website?
When we talk about servers, it's nothing complicated. They are simply computers build with the ability to send and receive requests. Given this, you could, theoretically, create your own server and host a website yourself, but this isn't a great idea.
Beyond the knowledge to set up the server yourself, you would need the capacity to handle all of the users trying to access your website. It made be a few here and there at first, but once people start flooding your pages, your server will most certainly crash.
Even if you had a server capable of handling the traffic, the bandwidth needed would far exceed what internet companies offer these days. Top that off with maintenance and it's clear that running your own server isn't the way to go.
It is for these reasons that hosting companies exist, and website owners (myself included) are very happy they offer these hosting services from their own data centers.
So, let's explore the purpose and services offered by a hosting company.
Today's Web Hosting Companies
Now that we know how websites are stored on specialized computers known as servers, this is where a hosting company comes into play. These companies own data centers that are filled with hundreds of thousands of servers.
When you purchase a hosting plan, you're essentially leasing a space on one of these servers. Using tools like WordPress, you'll create and store all of your website's information in this space.
Depending on the type of plan that you choose, you'll have additional control over space you are renting, or may even have an entire server all to yourself!
The hosting company is responsible for keeping your files and your website safely stored on a server. When people want to access your site, these computers are equipped to handle the request.
So, let's summarize:
Chapter One Summary
A website is a collection of pages or files stored on a server somewhere in the world. These servers, offered by hosting companies, have space on them to store multiple websites which are accessible to internet users 24/7/365. When you purchase hosting, you're renting space on a server to store and run your website.
Chapter Two: The Types of Hosting
In total, there are five different kinds of web hosting. Combine that with all of the features, bells, and whistles and it all gets a little too much. Choosing the right hosting solution for your needs is imperative. That's why we're going to break it down in chapter two.
Here's what we're covering in this chapter:
- The main differences between shared, VPS, and Dedicated hosting
- A look at cloud hosting
- The definition of managed hosting and whether it's right for you
- How you can decide which type is best for your needs
The Main Types of Hosting: What's The Difference?
Let's start with Shared Hosting. This is the type that you'll find most often on the web. It offers the lowest price, but also the lowest amount of power.
Shared hosting refers to websites that share the space on a single server. They are also sharing the resources and power that the server provides. The servers owned by hosting companies can store hundreds of websites on a single computer.
For simple requests and low levels of visitors, the shared resources don't pose a problem. The only issues arise when one or more websites are pulling down more resources than the others. In this situation, more stress is being put on the server and this can slow down other websites as a result.
To combat that, many hosting companies set limitations on how much of the resources a single website can use and the amount of bandwidth they are allowed to utilize.
The other downside to shared hosting is the lack of control options for your server. This isn't something that will concern a beginner user running a WordPress blog, but as your talents and needs grow, you may find that you need more control over the hosting environment.
Finally, one thing you should look for in a shared hosting plan is the security that the company offers. In this type of environment, you will be sharing the same IP address with the other websites. If one of these sites is engaging in bad behavior, it could affect others on the server.
Of course, there are hosting companies who have security measures in place to ensure that shared servers offer a certain level of isolation from other websites on the same computer.
Next up we have Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting. This type is a step up from the standard shared hosting. It offers you an isolated piece of a server that functions as if it were a separate computer. You essentially have a virtual server all to yourself, including the resources that entails.
With a VPS hosting plan, you have control over the environment the same way you would if you owned a server of your own. This gives you the ability to make custom changes and develop your own applications for example. Be sure to check this out for a complete guide on VPS hosting.
Since you are isolated on your own virtual server, you will have many more resources here than you would with a shared hosting option. The addition of your own unique IP address and the separate virtual server also adds additional security.
Moving up from here, we have Dedicated Hosting. This type of hosting is usually reserved for massive websites that are part of a larger business or corporation. It gives you complete control over your own server, which is a costly venture.
With this type of hosting, you'll have complete control. You can change the operating system, install any software you want, and tweak any of the settings as you see fit.
With this type of hosting, you also have complete and total access to the server's resources. All of the speed and storage on offer is yours for the taking.
All of this power does come with a lot of responsibility. The server's maintenance and updates will, in most cases, be yours to handle. If there are any updates to the software, you'll need to ensure they are installed to avoid security issues.
It's a lot to take in, which is why many website owners start with a shared hosting plan and move upward from there as needed.
The New Contender: Cloud Hosting
No matter how much power you have, the basic types of hosting have limits. If your website is hit with a spike in traffic, there's always the chance that it will slow down or crash entirely. For a business, this can result in a huge loss.
In many cases, these limits are never reached, but the possibility is always there. Hosting companies understand this, and now they are offering a new type of hosting that utilizes cloud servers to provide a service that can meet your needs and scale with your traffic levels.
People often refer to the "Cloud" with a sense of wonder and awe, but in reality it's a very simple and easy to understand concept. In terms of hosting, the cloud is a set of servers that are all interconnected and able to share their resources on-the-fly.
With this type of hosting, your website exists on multiple servers within this greater network. If there's a spike in traffic, these cloud servers can immediately direct unused resources to handle the situation and keep the website running smoothly.
As time goes on, more resources can be allocated to growing websites. In the end, though, you only pay for what you're using, much like a power or utility bill.
If you decide to pursue cloud hosting, make sure you read the details of the service as it can vary from company to company. The definition of "scalable" for example, can change depending on the service.
Managed WordPress Hosting
Let's say you need more bandwidth and resources, but you don't have the skills to maintain a VPS or dedicated server? This is where managed WordPress hosting comes into play.
The term "managed hosting" essentially refers to a plan where the company provides you with a dedicated team that monitors, installs, updates, and supports your server while you handle the website elements.
In some cases, these services extend to web design which will allow you to pay for them to create a working website for you up front. In many cases, the managed hosting is geared towards a specific platform like WordPress, so keep this in mind when choosing your platform.
Which Type of Hosting is Right For Me?
Now that we've covered all the basic types of hosting, let's look at which type fits your needs:
- Shared Hosting is perfect for those who are just starting out and need to dip their feet into the waters of hosting. It's for a small blog or website.
- VPS Hosting is for growing websites that need more resources and control over their hosting environment.
- Dedicated Hosting is for businesses and corporations who require an entire server for their website to function properly.
- Cloud Hosting is for growing websites that expect their needs to change rapidly and require a service that adapts to those needs.
- Managed Hosting is for website owners that do not have the time or knowledge to maintain their server, but require that amount of power. A team of professionals can perform maintenance while they are working on the site.
Chapter Three: What's My Money Buying?
It's hard to pay for something that you can't see or touch. Hosting is a service, and it's highly likely that you'll never see the server that hosts your website. Even so, your money is being used for a variety of things.
Depending on the hosting company, the marketing style will push you towards cheap shared hosting or highly expensive plans. For a beginner, it's important to cut through this advertising and consider what you're paying for.
Here's what we'll cover in chapter three:
- Servers
- Data centers
- Software installation
- A steady connection
- Customer support
The first thing your money is going toward is hardware. Servers are expensive to build and maintain, which is why hosting is a monthly payment.
The various payment plans reflect the hardware used to create the servers, which is why you'll find that more power costs more per month. This additional power, of course, will translate to faster website speed and a higher capacity for visitors.
Data Centers
Servers are usually stored in massive buildings known as data centers. These usually contain hundreds or even thousands of servers in a single location. The buildings themselves must maintain cool temperatures so the servers don't overheat.
They are also equipped with around-the-clock security to ensure that no data is stolen. The amount of bandwidth, electricity and manpower needed to keep them running smoothly is a major expense for hosting companies.
Software Installation
Most of the software used on servers and websites is Open Source, meaning it can be used by anyone in any capacity without a fee. That being said, there are programs that have a cost associated with them and they are usually included in your hosting plan.
One such example is cPanel, which is used to manage all the elements of your hosting environment.
A Stable Internet Connection
While hosting companies do not provide internet services, they do require a connection to host all of their client's websites. They usually have contracts with major providers which acts as another major ongoing expense.
This type of expense translates to the cost of hosting, so your money is also being used to pay for this connection for their servers.
Customer Service
Perhaps the most important aspect of a hosting company, beyond their service, is the support they offer for their clients. Many hosting companies have representatives on staff that answer calls, emails, and handle live chats.
This staff also requires a system to handle inquiries, so this is the last major expense a hosting company faces. In some cases, these employees work remotely which cuts costs for the company, but your money is ultimately used to ensure you have help when you need it as well.
Let's summarize where your money is going:
Chapter Four: Which Features You Want (And Need)
Here's what we're covering in chapter four:
- What to look for in your bandwidth, speed, and storage features
- How to find flexible plans
- The one thing I always consider when purchasing hosting
Website Speed
The speed of your website is incredibly important. The longer it takes for your site to load, the less satisfied your users will be. Google also ranks websites based on their speed so a slow website can hurt these efforts as well.
A poor host can also cause your website to slow down, even though many of them advertise extremely fast speeds. When you're looking at hosting features, look for some of these signs that a host provides the speed they promise:
- They advertise Solid State Drives which are faster than traditional hard drives.
- The location of their servers. The closer the servers are to your users, the faster they will be able to deliver content.
- If the host has a Content Delivery Network (CDN) they will be able to deliver your website to the closest possible servers based on user location.
Beyond this, always remember they optimizing your website's code and limiting excessive plugins can also keep the speed where you want it to be.
Monthly Bandwidth
Bandwidth is the measure of how much data flows from your website on a monthly basis. Many hosting companies promise "unlimited bandwidth" but hidden within the terms of service are limits to what you can use per month.
Most people won't reach these limits, so for many this is a non-issue. One thing you should avoid if possible are fees for exceeding your monthly bandwidth.
Even hosting companies that utilize CPU throttling to limit overuse of bandwidth are preferable to those who charge fees for going over the arbitrary limits set by them.
Much like bandwidth, most hosting companies will advertise "unlimited storage" as one of their features. In reality, this is once again a set limit that most people won't reach with their websites.
If you're trying to store or host large amounts of files, you're bound to hit this limit fairly quickly. If you need to host this type of content, look to other service or compress your images so they don't take up as much space.
Even something as simple as YouTube can offer a place to host your videos so they don't have to be stored on your website's server.
Scalability Options
When most people start a website, they don't have the slightest idea how much space, speed, or bandwidth they'll need. For this reason, I always recommend that you look into their upgrade options.
Great hosts will offer the ability to scale your services as needed. Options like cloud hosting can also provide you with the flexibility to move upward with resources as needed.
Look at the various plans on offer and see how simple it is to change your service. If it's overly complicated or they charge fees to upgrade, you may want to look elsewhere.
Customer Support
No matter how skilled you are, you're going to run into issues or a question you can't answer. This is where your hosting company's customer service comes into play.
The best companies offer email, phone, and live chat options for you to reach one of their representatives. This is also something you can find more information about by reading customer reviews.
Find out the average response time and the overall satisfaction of previous users to assess this aspect of your hosting.
Chapter Five: Welcome to WordPress
For first time website owners, WordPress is the perfect option. I personally recommend it for everyone, regardless of their skill level, and I'm not the only one.
There are over 74 million websites that use WordPress! In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- Using WP for Shared, VPS, and Dedicate hosting plans
- How to maximize your WordPress experience
WordPress For Shared Hosting
Most hosting companies showcase optimized hosting for WordPress when customers choose a shared plan. Even WordPress themselves recommend a shared hosting plan with their platform.
The issue we run into here is with websites that have a large amount of traffic on a monthly basis. WordPress is a very dynamic and powerful platform, so traffic spikes can greatly affect your website, especially if you have too many plugins or an poor theme.
Shared hosting in general, is best for websites that are of a personal nature, or blogs that are just starting out.
VPS Hosting With WordPress
If your WordPress site is expected to receive a lot of traffic on a consistent basis, you should consider upgrading to a VPS plan with scalable options in place. If you have more control, more bandwidth, and more space, you can easily adapt using WordPress.
Having the option to scale upward will also ensure that you don't hit a ceiling with any limits that are imposed by the company.
Managed Hosting With WordPress
A growing business with a high traffic website is the perfect candidate for a managed hosting solution. These plans give you powerful technology, plus the addition of a team dedicated to keeping it maintained while you build and grow your website.
While WordPress does have a great setup for beginners, many of the tasks associated with web design can be time-consuming. Hosting companies will save you countless hours by handling some of the more mundane and complicated tasks for you.
How to Maximize Your WordPress Experience
Regardless of your hosting plan, there are several ways to make sure you're using WordPress in the most efficient manner possible:
1. Keep Your WordPress Updated
WordPress is constantly updated with new features and security fixes. Running an outdated version of the platform is the most common cause of compromised websites. The same goes for your plugins.
While you may be concerned that updating your WP will result in compatibility problems, this is very rarely the case as most plugins keep up with their own updates as well.
2. Only Download Reputable Plugins
There are thousands upon thousands of plugins, and not all of them are created equal. When you're choosing plugins, look for those with a large amount of users and check for signs that it is actively updated.
Choosing a plugin under active development means that you can have support while also having the capability to report bugs and see them squashed in an upcoming update.
3. Do Not Host Videos
WordPress gives you the option to upload and embed your videos, but this is a very, very bad idea. Not only do videos take up a lot of space, but they also use a ton of bandwidth. This can result in you exceeding your limits without you realizing it.
Videos must also be converted to varying sizes and resolutions to cope with screen size and the user's connection speed. This adds additional work to your plate as you'll have to create other versions.
Instead of doing this, host your videos on YouTube and then place the embed code on your site. If you need to make the videos paid, you can use Vimeo Pro to host those videos.
A major plus of hosting on YouTube is extra exposure as well. People can follow these videos back to your site.
Chapter Six: Webmail and Email Servers
In addition to having your website up and running, you need a way for people to reach you. Email is the easiest solution, and when you create a website you will set up an email account through the hosting company.
Here's what we'll cover in this chapter:
- Email addresses and domain names
- Servers and clients
- Email protocols
- Marketing and mailing lists
Emails Addresses and Domain Names
When you look at an email, everything before the "@" sign is the local name, and everything after is the domain. A common mistake companies make is to use a Gmail or a Yahoo account for their business emails.
This doesn't make them appear as a representative of the company. It comes across as unprofessional. Using a personal email can raise legal and ethical issues as well. It's just not worth it.
Instead, you should utilize a webmail with your website's domain. We'll discuss how this works next.
Servers and Clients
To use an email, you need a server and an email client. The email server is constantly online. It receives and processes any mail going in or out. The client is the application you use to view your mail, compose new messages, and send them.
The server and client communicate with each other using protocols that we'll discuss next, but it's important to note that the two are otherwise separate.
A common misconception is that your email client of choice cannot work with your webmail server on your website. In this case, many common email apps will work with your server, it's simply a matter of connecting them.
Email Protocols
There are two main protocols for email: POP and IMAP. These are used to transfer information from the server to the client and vice-versa. POP stands for "Post Office Protocol" and IMAP stands for "Internet Message Access Protocol."
POP is only capable of handling messages. It does not save or store them. That's where IMAP comes in to play. Most of your email experience is handled by this protocol.
When you are looking into the web hosting plans, make sure the webmail they provide uses this IMAP protocol in their servers.
Marketing and Email Lists
Most websites and bloggers have an email list for sending newsletters and the like, but you'd be surprised to know that many hosting plans have elements of their terms of service that prohibit using their webmail to send vast quantities of messages.
To get around this, and spam laws, you should consider using an email management system like Mail Chimp or Aweber. Ultimately though, you should use a domain-branded email to appear professional and associated with your business.
Another great tip is to use your first and last name instead of a weird pattern or abbreviation. Typically an email that uses the format firstname.lastname@example.com is a great way to keep your emails separate and still make it easy to understand who is sending it.
Chapter Seven: The Most Common Mistakes to Avoid
In this final chapter, we'll look at the biggest mistakes people make when choosing their web hosting provider. Here are the ones we'll cover:
- Buying based solely on price
- Purchasing based on a TV ad
- Going off of affiliate reviews
- Choosing one despite bad features
- Choosing based on SEO
- Believing the Uptime Guarantee
- Starting with the wrong plan
- Buying Things You Don't Need
- Believing "Unlimited" is real
Buying Based Solely on Price
This first mistake is an easy one to make, but it can spell doom for your site. People will assume that all hosting is made equal, and that a cheap option is a great deal.
While there are some inexpensive hosting companies that have good service, you can't simply look at a company and judge their service based on price, especially if it's low.
Companies that offer bottom level pricing often pack a lot of users into one server for their shared hosting, which will put a strain on the server's resources.
Making a Decision Based on a TV Ad
If a hosting company is spending money on ads (looking at you GoDaddy) then odds are they don't use enough money towards better hardware, better support, and so on.
As with anything, don't let the marketing fool you. Do your research before jumping in.
Trusting Completely Positive Affiliate Reviews
Let's start by saying that affiliate marketing is not a bad thing. Many websites earn commissions by reviewing hosting services, but it's important that these reviews are objective.
If you read any of the reviews on here, you'll see that they are completely objective and based on real experience. If you see a hosting review site that doesn't look at both sides of the coin for any of their reviews, they may not be in it for the right reasons.
Choosing a Host Despite Bad Features
There are tons of great software options for you to choose from. Many of them are free and many of them are great. The problem with many hosting companies is that they have way too many options for you to choose from, and while they may tell you it's needed, you don't need all of them.
Only install the software you need for your purposes and nothing more. In addition, only use software like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and other major options. Don't fall for a third-party web builder.
Choosing Based on SEO
When you're setting up a blog or website, you'll hear all about Search Engine Optimization or SEO. There are numerous factors that affect this, but your hosting isn't one of them.
Even if you have a shared hosting plan, having the same IP address doesn't massively impact your SEO. In the end, your site's ranking is dependent on how much great content you publish and how it's promoted.
Trusting The Uptime Guarantee
Almost every hosting company promises a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This isn't always the case. Another thing to consider is that 0.1% downtime is still ten minutes a week and up to 45 minutes per month.
That's not something you want. There's nothing in the terms of service that requires a hosting company to repay you for lost business. Instead of trusting an uptime guarantee, check user reviews and other online reviews for actual data that shows how often websites go down.
Starting With the Wrong Plan
Most often people will look for a plan with the lowest price because they don't need anything fancy. Shared hosting, for example, is great for small businesses, blogs, churches, and the like.
If you have an online business with a brand that you want to prosper and grow, you're going to need more than a low-level shared hosting plan. You don't want to buy more than you need, but you also need to be realistic about what your needs are.
Paying For Extras You Don't Need
Hosting companies will offer add-ons with your service, but you may not need all of them. Here are some of the big ones:
- Domain Privacy – This hides your information, which can be useful if you work from home, but otherwise it's not needed.
- SSL certificate/Dedicated IP – These usually come bundled together and the only reason you would need the SSL is if you're running an e-commerce website.
- Backup Service – While backing up your website is smart you don't have to pay your hosting provider to do it. Instead you can choose your own service or plugin and add another layer of security because it's separate from your hosting provider.
- Web design, SEO, or consulting – These things are great, but you don't need them from your hosting provider. You're better off hiring someone local that you can communicate directly with.
Believing "Unlimited" is Real
The final mistake to avoid is one we've discussed briefly, but it's important to bring it back up before we part ways. When hosting companies advertise unlimited bandwidth, storage, email accounts, domains, and other features, they aren't being completely honest.
If you read the terms of service (which you should) you'll usually find that there are limits to the unlimited features. It's worth noting that most of these limits are too high for you to ever reach, but remember that "unlimited" is never the truly the case.
Final Thoughts
Now that we've reached the end of our hosting beginner's guide, you should have a grasp of what hosting is, and how to best choose the right company for your needs.
Any questions? Let us know in the comments and be sure to tell us which hosting company you chose!

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) Officials say Highway Patrol troopers found the body of a woman in a vehicle they eventually stopped on the interstate in western South Dakota after a pursuit that reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.
Authorities say the driver, a 30-year-old California man, was arrested after he tried running from the vehicle after it came to a stop along I-90 in Rapid City Monday.
Attorney General Marty Jackley said Tuesday his office is conducting an investigation into the woman"s death. A trooper tried stopping the speeding vehicle on I-90 near Spearfish about noon on New Year"s Day. The pursuit continued for nearly 50 miles and reached speeds of 118 mph before officers used stop spikes to disable the vehicle"s tires.
Officers found the woman"s body after arresting the man.

As various family members spoke at the support group about their experiences of living with a mental illness, I discovered that we had all been through similar experiences with professionals both in the hospital and out. At last, I had found a place where I could talk to someone who understood what I was feeling; people who really understood because they had been there. I think that the seed to start a self-help support group were sown then. I heard about people who had managed to come to terms with their loved ones' illness and about others who blundered along, exhausted and afraid, waiting for miracles, always on the verge of tears or a depression. My late husband was one of the four or five men present.
'Where are your husbands he asked? The marriage vows in sickness and in health mean that one must be there to support one's wife, but also any children the couple might have, whether they are ill or not.'
Yes, husbands need to share the burden. Each of us mourned a young person whose life had changed drastically. Shock, loss, grief, fear, confusion ambivalence, guilt, helplessness, despair and sadness were common reactions.
'I can't handle the stigma and discrimination,' I wailed. 'You all know that mental illness attracts less empathy and far more discrimination than other illnesses.' I had come to hate the words crazy, schizo, nuts, wacko and demented, the terms that only served to keep the stigma going.
I knew that the act of reducing stigma required widespread community education as well as the willingness to challenge others when discrimination occurred in my presence. I knew that journalists needed access to accurate up to date information to ensure that their reporting would not unintentionally reinforce negative stereotypes. But, journalists all over the world, use terms that serve to perpetuate the awful stigma associated with mental illness.

Calculating the Second Coming in 19th-Century America: Selected Items from American Pamphlets, 1820-1922
Subsequent study of the Bible convinced Miller that the holy book held prophetic references to the return of Christ to Earth including the specific time when this would happen. His predictions were widely disseminated. Despite his having been in error about the first dates he identified as the time of Christ's return—"sometime between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844"—the number of his followers grew exponentially. When a new date was identified in October of 1844 and Christ again did not return, this failed prophecy became known as the Great Disappointment of the Millerite movement. This month's release of American Pamphlets, 1820-1922: From the New-York Historical Society includes many works related to the national movement Miller sparked, including several rebukes to his prophecy, which were published in advance of any certain date for the return of Christ, as well as Miller's own "Apology and Defence," published in 1845.
Compiled principally from articles originally written by Rev. Kittridge Haven
The publisher of this pamphlet, a Mr. Streeter, makes clear that he is relying on a series of articles by Rev. Kittridge Haven to argue against the prophecy of William Miller. Streeter's personal bias in the matter is made clear in his preface. Of Miller, he says,
Having repeated his lectures, with a world of anecdotes interspersed, hundreds of times, Mr. M. has got them so familiar, that he excites the fears of the timid, to a high degree. Some, who had none to spare, are frightened out of what sense and reason they had.
Streeter also seems to imply that Miller was motivated by personal ambition and not real religious conviction. He marvels that…
Mr. M is not so influenced by his doctrine, but that he holds on upon every dollar and cent, as closely as anyone else....Why hug his wealth....Why suffer his book to be sold at such an enormous profit? If he believes his doctrine, he stands condemned by his own acts; for he loves his paltry self, more that the souls of men.
This publication was produced by the pastor of a Baptist Church in Providence, Rhode Island. He meant it for his congregation, but subsequently agreed to a reprinting for broader distribution. In his introduction, the minister asserts that he had received a letter from William Miller after the first edition of this pamphlet was issued. He describes Mr. Miller's reaction as consisting...
...of scurrility, abuse, and railing accusation, without even the shadow of argument. In reply to it I have only to say, 'The Lord rebuke thee'…
As delivered in the Government Street Church, Mobile, on Sunday night, March 26, 1843 by Rev. Wm. T. Hamilton, D.D., pastor of said church
The Rev. Hamilton seems to be a somewhat gentler critic of Mr. Miller, but he is clear to say,
And within months events will prove Rev. Hamilton correct.
I am satisfied that Mr. Miller has fallen into sundry and vital errors, which utterly vitiate his whole theory. I may be mistaken; and in some points it is hardly possible to be quite accurate in relation to prophecies yet unfilled. But I think I see, very clearly, mistakes in Mr. Miller's expositions of prophecy, and calculations of dates, which show that on the main points Miller is wrong.
A Complete Refutation of Miller's Theory of the End of the World in 1843 (1843)
By Abel C. Thomas
Abel Thomas, a Universalist minister, takes Miller's calculations straight on. He deconstructs the math, reinterprets the texts, and scoffs at Miller and his followers. Thomas chose an anonymous quote for his title page, "Figures do not lie, saith the proverb; nevertheless it behooveth us to consider whether our figures be correct, and also whether they be rightly placed."
In his pamphlet's final paragraph, which appears below the heading "All Fool's Day," Thomas quotes a Prof. Stuart of Andover:
If I can be allowed for a moment to interfere, I would respectfully suggest, that in some way or other they [the Millerites] have in all probability made a small mistake as to the exact day of the month when the grand catastrophe takes place, the FIRST of April being evidently much more appropriate to their arrangements than any other day of the month.
Wm. Miller's Apology and Defence (1845)
And finally, William Miller provides his own apology and excuse. From him we learn of his attraction to Deism, his subsequent war experiences, and his move back toward the Baptist Church of his childhood. We receive more in the way of justification or explanation than we do of apology. We also hear Miller's account of the abuse he believed he and his followers suffered:
During the year '43, the most violent denunciations were heaped upon me, and those associated with me, by the press, and some pulpits. Our motives were assailed, our principles misrepresented, and our characters traduced. Time passed on: and the 21st of March, 1844 went by, without our witnessing the appearing of the Lord. Our disappointment was great; and many walked no more with us.
It is a curious essay in which Miller seems to dismiss his error as insignificant and the fate of many of his followers as of little more significance.

Dr. Charles Couillard, Laval University, studied the cranberry. It contains antioxidants may be beneficial for the heart!
Dr. Charles Couillard, Assistant Professor, Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Laval University, is researching the cranberry. We already know that cranberries may help prevent UTIs. But there's more: the antioxidant properties of this small berry could be beneficial for heart health!
Antioxidants in cranberries: enemies of free radicals
Antioxidants are found mainly in fruits and vegetables, red wine, tea and dark chocolate. We often hear nutritionists and scientists say that antioxidants help prevent cancer and that is why we should eat more. So we know we should eat foods that contain antioxidants, but do we know what are they and what are they? Antioxidants are molecules that act as a defense system for our body. Who are they attacking? Free radicals, highly unstable molecules on the chemical. They seek to react with other molecules, thereby damaging the cells and tissues. Free radicals are sort of waste produced when cells breathe and extract energy from food. The role of antioxidants is to bind to free radicals to prevent them from combining with oxygen, a process largely responsible for premature aging. Thus, by eating plenty of foods rich in antioxidants, you'll look younger longer!
Many benefits for a small fruit
The cranberry, a fruit richest in antioxidants, may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, a clogging of arteries by cholesterol. Atherosclerosis occurs when too much LDL cholesterol, often called "bad" cholesterol builds up in artery walls, the result of excessive oxidation by free radicals. Antioxidants will prevent this oxidation, which could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The study by Dr. Couillard was performed on 30 men who had overweight at the time of the study. Half of them had to drink cranberry juice without sugar for 3 months, and the other half had to drink a placebo. The doctor observed that a portion of 250 ml of cranberry juice significantly increased HDL cholesterol, often called "good" cholesterol. Although the latest study by Dr. Couillard reveals the potential of cranberry to increase HDL and decrease LDL cholesterol levels, further studies are needed to determine whether antioxidants can actually prevent heart disease . That would make you another reason to drink more cranberry juice!

The Hobie Paddle T Handle allows you to convert your Hobie kayak paddle to a canoe style paddle. The Hobie Paddle T Handle is easy to store on many models of Hobie Mirage kayaks where paddle use is unnecessary while using the Mirage Drive. Plugs into the female half of the kayak paddle.

I hardly ever need to use the paddle on my Hobie Revolution 13 and with the outriggers in use, trying to paddle is difficult and didn't like the long paddle hanging on the side and not very usuable anyway, so I separated the paddle and used this which is much more handy and still allow using a paddle for using to push off or other uses besides paddling. Simple design, but very secure once installed. I really like this simple handle.
After mounting Hobie sidekicks on my Perception sail kayaks I decided That I needed to protect the center mount tubes from damage during transport and storage. I bought 4 T handles. They work just fine and they also make a great handle for moving the kayaks around. I also keep one of the handles in the cockpit while sailing so I can convert my double paddle to a single for tight places.
I bought the handle because I thought I had lost mine, but ended up finding it. I was able to return it with no problem. It is the exact handle that comes standard with the Hobie PA 12.
Bought a hobie pro angler 14 at the end of last season. Got a really good deal on this kayak. It came with the full paddle but not the t handle so I ordered one from ACK. Went out for the first time and used the paddle with t handle to get out to deeper water till I could put mirage drive in. Mine came with a mount that I used to place paddle on hand rail. I think that it is meant to hold other half of paddle not to put on hand rail. I had another kayaker who was fishing with me. He caught up to me on the lake and asked if I had lost my paddle. Sure enough I did but he saw it floating where I had been fishing. Very happy to know paddle with handle floats. I have ordered the paddle clip to keep paddle out of the way and on board when not using. I much prefer using half the paddle with the t handle than using the full paddle for getting to deeper water.
Once I had a "nightmarish" kayak trip through the beautiful Florida Everglades using the traditional kayak paddles through mangrove tunnels inches from my head, how different it would have been to paddle with "1/2" the paddle..like night and day..its all about the right tool for the job, and the T handle is it. Love it!
will be a good addition to my recreational kayak. I fish and photo out of my boat and find myself in the reeds very often where the double blade is hard to use. 4 stars because I had to adjust the handle to fit my non-hobbie paddles. Service was great.
Very handy. Enables me to use "half a paddle" instead of the full double-ended kayak paddle. Much quicker to deploy the half- length paddle compared to the full-length paddle, which can be quite unwieldy at times. Obviously, with a mirage drive, the paddle is used mainly for very shallow-water maneuvers, fending off of docks, and as a backup in the rare instance of the mirage drive breaking. The T-handle is a well-made, inexpensive, and useful accessory. Highly recommended.
Works as intended.
Nice little addition, making the half-paddle easier to store and use. Great to use the paddle that way for tight maneuvering.
Product works as advertised. Nice to keep only half a standard paddle for safety, as I don't paddle much when out. Mostly use mirage drive and sail kit. keeps minimal paddling for safety and as backup in case rudder fails.
attaches easily and makes stowing the paddle easier on the Hobie Adventurer
Hobie aftermarket products seem to fall into the really easy and great to install and use. These T Handles fall into the easy to install and more useful than the long paddles. Also, our long paddles often stuck together and it took 4 men and a donkey to twist them and get them apart. We will probably never use the long handle paddles again. The only time we use paddles is to turn or help us get into or out of the launch area. The shorter paddles with the T handle work better and easier for this use and store easier on the yak and in our vehicle and at home. We had bought another shorter handle paddle for my wife to use, paid about $40 and my wife prefers the Hobie T Handle and so do I.
Works great, especially in close quarters.
Works well.
Sturdy, when connected is comfortable and feel like extension of paddle instead of added on piece.
For those times when you just want to kick it "Pocahontas" style, this cool accessory turns a two-blader into one. The other unused half of the paddle still stows easily on the side of the Sport and Revolution (the only two kayaks I've tested it with). For me the shorter handle gets me a bit of flexibility for use in tight waterways and it only takes seconds to convert back and forth. Even works with some *gasp* non-Hobie paddles. Joe-Bob says two thumbs up.

'Diana's death a great loss to Ministry and wildlife'
2 de noviembre de 2018, Daily Express Malasia.- Kota Kinabalu: Wildlife Rescue Unit veterinary Dr Diana Angeles Ramirez Saldivar (pic) had been known to have always gone the extra mile to save lives, especially animals and wildlife.
And even in her death, the 36-year-old continued to make a difference by giving others the chance of life through organ donation.
"We decided to donate many of her organs because we all know that she was always saving lives and this way she would continue saving lives," said her sister, Sandra Karina, 35, when met at her wake services at Wisma Fook Lu Siew, here, Thursday.
"Because she loved to be here, living in Sabah and in Malaysia, this way a bit of her would always remain here. We know that some people already have received and we are very happy to know this was possible," she said through a family friend, Dr Milena Salgado, who was also a close friend of Diana.
She described Diana as someone who was always dedicated to what she was doing and that initially she wanted to be a medical doctor for humans but eventually decided to be a veterinarian because she thought that animals were more loyal.
"She was always interested in wildlife and it was her dream to be out in the field and doing something related with wildlife," she said.
It was understood that Diana started her medical veterinarian degree and subsequently volunteered in one of the zoos in Mexico City at the age of 18. Ever since, she never left wildlife.
Sandra has many memories of her sister, one of which was a few years ago during her visit to Sabah to see how Diana was working.
"Diana had to perform a necropsy in one of the baby elephants. At that time, I had never seen an elephant, let alone a dead one and certainly never a necropsy.
"But I was allowed to accompany Diana a bit and saw her literally immersed in secretions. She was stinking and everything and even with all that she was happy doing it. Not necessarily happy…but relieved that the elephant had died by natural causes, that at least it had not been killed," recalled Sandra.
The last she had contact with Diana was last month and the conversation was work and family related.
"She asked how was everyone in the family, how were things in Mexico and what was happening back home, but work wise she had the intention to continue working on wildlife and helping wildlife," she said.
Meanwhile, Melina described Diana as someone who was always working hard to get things done properly and how they had worked together to set up a wildlife forensics laboratory in Kg Potuki.
"I have known her for almost 20 years and it was a job relationship that sometimes could have difficulties and disagreements but in general we were family, we were not just friends, she was like an additional family member," she said.
Being the third child of four siblings, Diana's passing is also greatly felt by Harjinder Kler, who is attached with the conservation NGO Hutan, saying "Diana has given so much to Sabah and even in death she kept giving by having her organs donated."
"Sabah owes Diana and her family a deep depth of gratitude. She will be missed," she said.
Also there to pay his last respects was Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry's Permanent Secretary Datuk Datu Rosmadi Datu Sulai who described Diana as a very good officer, very dedicated and passionate about animals.
"It is a great loss to the ministry, to the wildlife, she did a lot," he said.
Diana's 64-year-old mother, Concepcion Esperanza, was also present at the wake which came with a Catholic requiem followed with the cremation of her remains.
Meanwhile, the circumstances leading to Diana's death was not immediately made clear. However, Danau Girang Field Centre's (DGFC) Director, Dr Benoit Goossens, who has worked closely with her thinks that she should be remembered in Sabah for the work she did.
"She should be remembered as a Mexican woman who came eight years ago , she spoke very little English, she didn't speak a word of Bahasa, but in a couple of years she was fluent in English and Bahasa.
"She was dedicated to her work and one of the greatest wildlife conservationists and wildlife carers that I know in Sabah and I really think that Sabah should honour her and should do something to make sure that she is not forgotten and that her memory is kept forever in Sabah," he said.
He also doesn't think that her death was linked to what happened at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. She was working for the Wildlife Rescue Unit, not for Lok Kawi Wildlife Park. – Sherell Jeffrey

The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers was a wonderful new discovery for the Walter Scott Prize judges. Here, he answers some of our questions.
Q: What do you think about being shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction? Do you see yourself as a historical novelist?
I'm surprised, delighted, humbled, and then surprised again. To be amongst such excellent long- and shortlisted literary company both past and present is a huge confidence boost in a profession where many, I suspect, exist in a state of doubt and insecurity. Or I certainly do anyway. I don't see myself as a historical novelist as I have previously written about the contemporary era and have published in other forms and genres, including non-fiction, crime, landscape writing, poetry and journalism; I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. However I do see my shortlisted novel The Gallows Pole very much as a historical novel and certainly plan to write more books that would be classified as such.
Q: How did the people and times you write about in this novel first lodge in your imagination?
I live slap-bang in the centre of the area in which the real-life events that inspired my novel took place – that is, the misdeeds of a criminal gang known as the Cragg Vale Coiners who forged money and committed murder in and around the Upper Calder Valley in West Yorkshire during the late 18th century. Actually, it all began when my wife returned from visiting the library in the Bowes Museum in County Durham, where she had randomly pulled a history book about the Coiners from the shelf. She thought the story would make an excellent TV series. At the same time the mythology of the area slowly seeped into my consciousness, and the themes of the story – rich versus poor, North versus South, class divide, English national identity – appeared so relevant today that they were difficult to ignore. But I only know how to write novels, so I thought that was the best route into the story.

(CNN) — A bus carrying Houston-area band students home from Disney World fell into a 50-foot ravine in Baldwin County, Alabama, early Tuesday morning, killing the driver, police said.
The crash and rescue effort closed down Interstate 10 in both directions near the Florida state line.
The students had just performed at Walt Disney World in Orlando and were on their way home to Texas on two buses when one of them crashed, Channelview Independent School District Superintendent Greg Ollis said.
"It was supposed to be a happy event and yes it is something that you never want to experience but again I will say from what I am hearing we are truly blessed right now," said Ollis. "This bus was following and they sent some parents that were on that bus to help out as well as staff members," said Ollis. "I will say that the parents who were there did a tremendous job and we have some staff members that really stepped up."
[WATCH LIVE: Superintendent Greg Ollis and Channelview Police Department hold press conference to give updates on the fatal bus crash]
Westbound lanes of I-10 were reopened by mid-afternoon, but eastbound lanes remained closed, according to the Alabama Department of Transportation.
The bus struck a bridge support when it landed in the ravine, and inspectors need to make sure the bridge is sound before reopening the interstate, Alabama State Trooper Capt. John Malone said.
"The bus came to rest on one side down in the ravine. Those had to either be brought up by ropes or rappelling individuals from the fire department during the rescue operation. Some were carried out by either deputies or other law enforcement," Baldwin County Sheriff Huey Hoss Mack said, explaining that the depth of the ravine complicated rescue efforts.
First Class Tours, which operated the bus, identified the driver as Harry Caligone, a longtime employee of the company
"We are deeply saddened for this loss. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family," the bus company said.
Mack said several injured people were taken to 10 hospitals in Baldwin County, the Alabama cities of Mobile, Daphne and Fairhope, and Pensacola, Florida. There were 40 students and six adults on the bus, Ollis said.
Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola received 19 of the passengers, four of them in serious condition, according to the hospital. Seven patients were treated and released.
Six or seven Medevac helicopters transported patients to hospitals, the sheriff said. One patient remains critical, he said, and five are in serious condition. The rest of the injured, including a Baldwin County deputy hurt during the extrication process, suffered minor wounds, he said.
"I don't want to say there aren't severe injuries, but we are certainly blessed," the school superintendent said, adding that all students and staff "will be all right." "They have some injuries, I don't want to downplay that. But from when I got the call this morning and from what I saw, thank God were blessed and our students are better than what we anticipated."
A video of the crash showed the bus on its side in a grassy aqueduct as rescuers with flashlights scoured the area. Firefighters looked down from a bridge and dozens of emergency vehicles lined the road leading up to the bridge.
The bus' front axle appeared to be separated from the vehicle and at least two doors to luggage compartments had been ripped off. The roof of the bus also appeared damaged.
The bus was traveling west when it drove into the median on Interstate 10 and then into the ravine at Cowpen Creek, about 5:30 a.m. (6:30 a.m. ET), Mack said.
The creek runs through the ravine, and there is water in the creek, but the bus did not land in the water, said Baldwin County Sheriff's Maj. Anthony Lowery.
The last victim was extricated from the crash shortly before 9 a.m. (10 a.m. ET), Mack said.
"The next thing we needed to do was get blankets up here," he said. "Of course, they were cold. It was 40 degrees this morning."
First Class Tours said in a statement that the company is cooperating with investigators.
"Our prayers are with the injured and their families at this time," the statement said.
Baldwin County runs up the eastern edge of Mobile. Bay Minette is its county seat.
Facebook user Jesus Tejeda posted the following video from this scene.
A GoFundMe page has been setup for the band member and their families.

Forgive me if I've restated the obvious, or RE-restated the obvious that has already been stated recently, but I want to emphasize that
(1) No candidate is perfect; and
(2) A perfect candidate is not necessary.
Government is an aggregate effect, as is an economy. An economy is the aggregate effect of millions of millions of individual transactions (or refusals to transact). A government is the aggregate effect of millions of laws, regulations court decisions, bureaucratic actions or inactions, law enforcement actions and decisions, and abuse and neglect at all levels, including in the decisions, or the lack thereof, of individual citizens and non-citizens, voters and non-voters.
A perfect president is desirable, but not required. A perfect legislator is desirable, but not required. A perfect judge is desirable, but not required. If.
If we have a Congress whose majority understood and respected the Constitution, NO president could get away with what presidents have been getting away with for the last hundred years, or so.
If we have a lazy Congress whose goal seems to be making itself irrelevant to the operation of government, as Congresses have appeared to be for that same, hundred-year interval, an extremely disciplined, Constitutional president might temper or even thwart the negligence and corruption of a Congress.
Either a Constitutional Congress, or a Constitutional president, could thwart or reverse an overreaching federal judiciary.
That is the lasting beauty of our checks-and-balances system — if and when it is applied.
If the aggregate legislator, judge and chief executive are Constitutionalists, the evil or stupidity of a few individuals is cancelled out by the actions of the whole.
To get a Constitutional government, and keep it, requires a vocal, relentless and determinedly Constitutional electorate. The aggregate effect of a Constitutional electorate outweighs the efforts of the stupid and corrupt few — or, of the corrupt many, if the Constitutionalists are sufficiently relentless and vocal.
Again, forgive me for any redundancy, or for re-stating the obvious, but there it is. Perfection in government is unnecessary, if the aggregate effect is Constitutional, and if the aggregate voter keeps it that way.

LAS VEGAS -- Andre Ward, the new No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world?
He made a case -- but not a convincing one -- as he won a razor-close but controversial unanimous decision against Sergey Kovalev to claim three light heavyweight world title belts before an adoring crowd of 13,310 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
All three judges scored the bout 114-113 for Ward, who survived a second-round knockdown and some shaky moments. ESPN.com scored the fight 115-112 for Kovalev, who appeared to land the much more powerful punches. HBO's unofficial scorer, Hall of Fame judge Harold Lederman, had Kovalev winning 116-111. Many media members sitting ringside also had Kovalev winning.
If judges Glenn Trowbridge and John McKaie had given Kovalev the final round, the fight would have been a split decision win for Kovalev. Judge Burt Clements gave Kovalev the 12th round but had Ward ahead going into the round.
"This is a beautiful thing. We did it, baby. It's a lot of hardware," Ward said as he was presented with the belts. "Surreal. This is what we set out to do. I'm a five-[belt] world champion in two different weight classes. Man, it's amazing.
"This sounds good -- the new light heavyweight champ. This was my most important and satisfying win."
There were many who believed that the Kovalev-Ward winner would be worthy of replacing junior bantamweight titlist Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez as the new pound-for-pound king. And some might elevate Ward into that lofty perch coming off the best victory of his career, which already includes wins against such top opponents as Carl Froch, Mikkel Kessler and Chad Dawson.
Ward said he was not startled that he got the nod.
"I was not surprised when I heard the decision," he said. "I don't know where you got that from. I know it was a close fight. The crowd, you can hear they thought I won.
"[Kovalev] did everything I expected him to do. He started to show up as I expected. He started to fight like I expected. My coach [Virgil Hunter] did a great job."
Kovalev, who was making his ninth title defense, strongly disagreed with the scoring.
"It's the wrong decision. I don't want to say my opinion," he said. "The witnesses are here. They saw it. It's my job. It was a fight of my life. I am disappointed in the judges' decision.
"[Ward] got maybe a few rounds. I agree with that. I kept control. I lost maybe three rounds the whole fight. It is the USA and all the judges were from the USA. It's a sport. Don't make it politics. It's a sport, and I won the fight."
Main Events promoter Kathy Duva, Kovalev's promoter, also was not happy with the decision.
"My impression was that was the wrong decision," she said. "We thought he was clearly ahead on points. I think Ward could have a great career in the UFC. I haven't seen so much wrestling since Conor McGregor in the UFC card last week."
Ward did initiate many clinches, and referee Robert Byrd did little to stop it, allowing the fighters to work their way out of it.
"I thought for sure it was not going to be a one-way fight, but the wrestling was outrageous," Duva said. "The referee didn't do anything about it, and I'm really upset. [Kovalev] won the first six rounds, and he had a knockdown. How the hell did he lose a decision?"
Ward will likely have to face Kovalev in a rematch. Duva said her side would exercise its right to an immediate rematch.
"We're going to get him back in the ring as soon as we can and right this wrong," Duva said.
Kovalev agreed.
"Of course, I want a rematch, and I will kick his ass," Kovalev said. "I want to show good boxing."
Michael Yormark of Roc Nation Sports, Ward's promoter, said it was too soon to talk about a sequel and declined to acknowledge the rematch clause.
"It's too early to discuss a rematch at this point," Yormark said. "Andre will enjoy the moment, spend time with his family and, obviously, embrace those three belts. We'll decide where we go from here over the next weeks."
Ward offered his take.
"Of course, I would do a rematch," Ward said. "I am not going to negotiate a fight right now. I will go home and relax and see what's next."
Ward, a 2004 U.S. Olympic gold medalist, got off to a very rough start, as Kovalev appeared to hurt him midway through the opening round with a stiff left jab that forced Ward to grab on to him around the waist.
Ward (31-0, 15 KOs) had blood coming from his right nostril early in the second round. Then a left hand and a right drove him into the ropes. Moments later, Kovalev connected with a booming right hand to the forehead, and Ward went down to all fours. It was only the second time in Ward's career he had been knocked down. Ward made it out of the round but looked a bit shaky and tried to hold Kovalev (30-1-1, 26 KOs) in the third round.
When Kovalev, who earned $2 million but stands to earn much more because of his percentage of the promotion, got rough in response to Ward holding him, Byrd warned them to knock it off.
"This sounds good -- the new light heavyweight champ. This was my most important and satisfying win." Andre Ward
"I knew it was going to be a tough fight," Ward said of the knockdown. "I think after the second-round knockdown, he realized I wasn't going anywhere and I was stepping on the gas. Technically, there's always stuff I can pick apart. I wasn't happy about that knockdown, but I didn't panic. I was at peace. Now it's time to really get to work. I wasn't hurt by it. As a matter of fact, I wasn't hurt by anything he threw."
Byrd was busy throughout the fight, breaking hard clinches -- many of which were initiated by Ward as he tried to come inside and avoid Kovalev's big punches.
The great speed and slickness of Ward was not very evident, as Kovalev popped him with jabs and right hands. Ward got off some good shots, but Kovalev walked right through them. But whatever speed and defense Ward lacked, he showed immense toughness and guile under a constant assault from "Krusher" Kovalev, known as one of boxing's most devastating punchers.
"Your last fight is always the most important, but I really needed this," said Ward, who has not lost a fight since he was a 13-year-old amateur. "It was about those in-the-trenches moments. Sergey has no inside game, so I focused on my midrange and my inside game, and that made all the difference."
Ward, who earned a career-high $5 million, had a strong seventh round. He landed a clean stiff jab that got Kovalev's attention and excited the crowd. Moments later, both fighters were warned by Byrd for hitting behind the head while in a clinch. And even though Kovalev landed a hard left hand late in the round, Ward, 32, of Oakland, California, returned fire.
There was a lot of back-and-forth action in the ninth round, but Ward had some big moments, lashing Kovalev, 33, a Russia native living in Los Angeles, with shots that sent him ducking under the top ring rope and brought the crowd to its feet.
They continued to go at each other in the 10th round. Ward landed a good left hand that backed Kovalev up, and Ward stuffed a left jab down the middle that connected cleanly. It was an exciting round that was hard to score.
The 11th round was another close one, with Kovalev landing a hard jab and right hand but Ward coming right back with a solid left hook. Kovalev had Ward on the run in the final seconds of the round.
Sensing the decision victory might be up for grabs in the 12th round, the boxers responded with toe-to-toe action and rough stuff on the inside during clinches. They did not let up until the final bell, and then they fell into an embrace when it was over.
"This is a good feeling," Hunter said. "We were a little careless with that knockdown in the second round, but we landed the cleaner punches. Kovalev was aggressive but not effective. That's why we won. I'm happy for Andre."
According to CompuBox punch statistics, Kovalev landed 126 of 474 punches (27 percent), and while Ward threw and landed fewer punches (116 of 337) than Kovalev, Ward landed at a higher percentage (34 percent).
Ward, who unified super middleweight world titles by rolling through the 2009 to 2011 Super Six World Boxing Classic, was fighting his first top opponent since a dominant 2012 knockout of then-light heavyweight champion Dawson, who dropped down in weight to challenge him. Ward had some long layoffs in the ensuing years because of injuries and a battle over his promotional contract, but he signed with Roc Nation Sports in 2015 and was fighting for the fourth time since then.
But Ward, already a probable Hall of Famer even before the win against Kovalev, shied away from lauding himself.
"It's hard for me to call myself great," he said. "At the end of the day, I am a two-weight division champion."

Amy Meyer worked as a reporter for the Washington Post during Day 7. When interrogating Jonas Hodges, Jack Bauer put in a call to the Washington Post, threatening to tell them that Hodges was still alive if he didn't cooperate. The exposure of this fact would have led the Prion variant cabal to kill Hodges' family, so he agreed to co-operate and Bauer ended the call to the newspaper. ("Day 7: 3:00am-4:00am")
