It seems almost inconceivable given the online nature of life today, but more than 50 percent of UK small businesses suffer a lack of significant online presence. In fact, 30 per cent of them don't even have a website!
These figures do not include social media accounts: They focus purely on stand-alone websites constructed by and for the business. How can that be in this modern age of online everything?
Some small business owners (35 per cent) believe they are simply too small to warrant the time, effort, and funds needed to create and maintain a website. Twenty percent find the costs too prohibitive for their business. Nineteen per cent cannot find hours in the day enough to run their businesses, maintain their personal lives, and include a website into the mix.
Small business owners who chose to skip on a website are likely to cut themselves out of their quickest means to establish their businesses. In the UK alone, the online economy accounts for 10 per cent of the annual GDP, approximately £145 billion. Almost 95 per cent of people in the UK shop online, more than half of them through apps. A mouse click, a finger swipe, and they finish their errands over breakfast.

The online environment offers a more level playing field between the small- and medium-sized businesses and their larger counterparts, especially given the ease of website creation. The concerns of multiple brick-and-mortar stores versus a single mom-and-pop shop reduce somewhat in cyberspace. People want quick, easy purchases at reasonable prices.
Ask yourself this question: When is the most influential moment in your relationship with a customer? Your first encounter? Would you return to a business that left your with a bad taste in your mouth after the first visit? Maybe, but then again, maybe not.
Websites are an efficient way for small businesses to create and maintain brand loyalty, especially when they can't afford advertising budgets along the lines of their big-name competitors. Couple the accessibility of a website – especially if you go the modern route and make it mobile friendly – with the power of a positive first impression, and the result could be hit after return hit after referred hit.
Websites instead offer these businesses a scalability that allows them to adapt to and handle traffic fluctuations. Seasonality hits? Your site can bear the extra load. A special occasion calls for your particular services? Your contact information is not only ready and available, but in various forms: Phone, local address, email, on-site commentary, however most easily benefits your customers.
Even a no-cost WordPress allows you to customize your contact offerings. You can link your company's social media pages to your site and interact with your patrons with ease!
Your website is your first impression. You don't need to be overly fancy in your approach. In fact, a streamlined approach will serve your better. Don't try to make everything pop: Use colors and designs that complement one another and keep your palette relatively small. Let any supporting media you use – music, animations, etc. – be just that: Support. If they don't help, they don't show.
Keep your layout easy to follow. Nothing annoys you as a browser when you go to a page and suffer through click after click and link after link that are buried in clustered boxes along tabs. Your visitors most likely feel the same. A simple setup also increases the mobile-friendly accessibility of your website; considering 1.2 billion people worldwide use mobile devices to access the Internet, it would be prudent to be one of those sites!
Remember our simple palette? That goes for your fonts as well, and keep fonts easy to read! While some of the curly, decorative lettering might look pretty in small doses, an entire page of Pretty Girls Script might well wear on the eyes.
Another (non-design) matter to consider: E-commerce requires its own special forms of returns policies, and returns management affect your operations. Twenty per cent of surveyed businesses admitted to an upcharge to help negotiate the costs. A similar number of businesses refuse to conduct business online for the same reason: They did not feel up to the management of online deliveries and returns.
Online purchasers make their decisions on virtual sight only. They can't handle or closely inspect the product until it arrives on their doorstep. What happens if (when) said product fails to meet their expectations? They ship it back with the expectation of a full refund – and without expectation that the customer pay for the return. It is expected the company will foot that bill. Forty-seven per cent said they wouldn't even order without free return shipping.
Does your small business have its own website? Do you allow online purchases and returns? In what ways could you improve your online presence?

Throwing rocks to ripple in the pond, he waited. Any moment now and the portal would gape open. It began as a tiny light twinkling the same way a star appears from outer space, but spread like a wild-fire until it glowed as tall as Jack's head and wide as his shoulders.
Jack stepped closer. For a moment, he stood waiting at the edge of his world. An uncomfortable feeling grabbed at his chest. A shiver of apprehension tracked through him. He tilted his head in contemplation, peaking outside where the ball of fire in the sky, they called it the sun, was an orange smear across the darkening sky, making the dirt of the other world look that much dingier, Jack grimaced.
Tossing his head back, he snapped his fingers and a board with wheels appeared in his hand. He spun a wheel with one finger, a devilish smile lifting one side of his lips. He took a deep breath and dove head first through to the other side.
Sliding by on his skateboard, the sound of happy laughter drew Jack like a witch's spell. He spun around a corner of the market place to find children stomping and splashing in a shallow fountain. Blue, green, orange and pink lights glistened up from beneath the water to shine on the little one's faces.
Adults gathered at the edge of the pool. Among them sat a woman in tapered, cream-colored slacks. Her golden hair blew every so slightly in the evening breeze. It was the look on her face that bothered Jack the most, superior and smug as if she was too good to stand among the common folk.
She narrowed her blue gaze toward a slightly plump, smaller woman who had the audacity to get in bare feet and ankle-deep with a little boy. Hands beneath the child's arms, she swung him just above the splashing water. The little one's squeals of joy made Jack's heart swell with happiness.
The fairy knelt low. He could disappear with just a thought. The wheels of the skateboard he rode whirled, blending with the chirping of crickets.
Smooth as butter, Jack picked up a rock from the ground. He gave it a toss so the smooth stone landed exactly where he wanted it.
It hit the puddle of mud just so. A stream of the black gunk splattered from knee to ankle on the haughty woman's not-so-perfect-now cream slacks.
A bubble of laughter started in Jack's throat. He doubled over, slapping his knees, yet never once did he teeter the slightest bit off the board on wheels.
The woman jumped to her feet. A scream of horror tore her perfect face. Now we're having fun, Jack smirked.
The little boy swinging from his mother's hands gazed wide-eyed in the fairy's direction. Of course you know me. Jack gave the child a wink.

Or Furbys. Some dolls fit the category, too, with spooky eyes that seem to move or a porcelain pallor. They're not all Chucky, but some of them just don't seem quite right. Listener Anne McLaughlin grew up with a cabinet full of dolls — including a pretty dancer doll and a set of wooden nesting dolls. But one, she says, stood out. Learning The Hard Truth About Lying By Rachel Martin • Mar 8, 2015 We all lie sometimes. But if you're in the public eye, the lie can take on a life of its own.

Is Rebuilding Storm-Struck Coastlines Worth The Cost? By Rachel Martin • Oct 27, 2013 One year ago Tuesday, Hurricane Sandy bore down on the East Coast, devastating shoreline communities from Florida to Maine. Many of these areas have been rebuilt, including the Long Beach boardwalk, about 30 miles outside New York City. Officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new boardwalk Friday. Ninety percent of the funding for the restoration came from the federal government. The Federal Emergency Management Agency paid $44 million to repair the devastation. Petraeus' Fall As Stunning As The Career Before It By Rachel Martin • Nov 11, 2012 The resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who stepped down late Friday citing an extramarital affair, brings to an end one of the most storied careers in modern U.S. military history. Petraeus left the Army in August 2011 after nearly four decades in uniform. Before his retirement ceremony had even begun, he walked up on the empty stage, went over to the podium and tapped on the microphone. The general was doing his own mic check.

Mitt Romney meet for their third presidential debate on Monday, there will be some rules for the candidates — and the audience. In the first debate, Jim Lehrer of PBS demanded "Absolute silence!" Although Lehrer caught some flack for letting the candidates freewheel in that debate, he meant business when it came to keeping the audience quiet. "If you hear something that's really terrific, sit on it!" he told the audience. "If you hear something you don't like, sit on it!" But that's not the only debate rule — not by far.

Tricia Goyer
Tricia Goyer, AuthorNashville, TNRogers, ARAtlanta, GA
Tricia Goyer has been married to John for 28 years and is a homeschooling mom and author. When John and Tricia had graduated two children from homeschooling--and their third was only a few years from graduation--God called the Goyers to adoption. The Goyers have adopted seven children, mostly from foster care. Tricia's in her 24th year of homeschooling and is back to teaching everything phonics to Civics. She's currently homeschooling children ages 7-17. Tricia is also a best-selling, award-winning author of 70 books, and she leads a teen mom support group in inner city Little Rock. Tricia has a passion for raising children to serve God and others. Her adult sons and daughter-in-law serve in children's church and her adult daughter is missionary in the Czech Republic where she and her husband minister to young adults. She writes about marriage, parenting, writing and homeschooling at www.TriciaGoyer.com.
You can find Tricia on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram & Twitter as @TriciaGoyer! Some of her books include: Prayers That Changed History, Lead Your Family Like Jesus, and Balanced: Finding Center as a Work-at-Home Mom.
Workshops from Tricia Goyer ( may vary by event location )
The Purpose of Homeschooling: Real-Life Discipleship Beyond the Books
Are you exhausted from doing "good things" in your homeschooling and yet feeling unfulfilled? Do you feel as if you've lost your sense of purpose more as each year passes? Do you believe God has big plans for your homeschool and your kids but you just can't get there? Are you wondering about the "great purpose" God's designed for your family? Tricia will provide practical ideas for discipling kids to walk out Scriptural mandates and discover an exciting life of meaning and purpose.
The Ten Hour Homeschool Week
The best homeschooling schedule doesn't start with the right lesson plan. It starts with our hearts. If you're ready to approach your homeschooling week with confidence, joy, and peace it's important to cut all the unnecessary things from your schedule. With the right planning and priorities you can focus your homeschooling week into 10 hours of active teaching. This includes plenty of additional time for self-study, directed play, nature exploration, reading, art and more!
Prayers That Changed History: Teaching Our Kids to Have Effective Prayer Lives
Martin Luther. Sojourner Truth. Helen Keller. St. Patrick. We read their stories, and of other people like them, in history books and hear about the amazing things they did to change the world. But one part of the story is often left out: Each one of them wouldn't have accomplished what they did without prayer. Tricia Goyer gives parents tips on helping children to develop effective prayer lives, using stories of heroes of faith and Biblical examples of prayer.
Write That Book
Have you every thought about writing a book? Tricia Goyer, author of 70 books, shares step-by-step instruction on how to build a writing career from your home. Tricia started writing in 1994. She managed to grow a writing career while also homeschooling her ten children. Tricia will share what to do, what not to do, and how to use your gifts to the glory of God. As homeschooling parents we need to model what it looks to use the talents God placed inside us!
Homeschool Basics: How to Get Started, Keep Motivated, and Bring Out the Best in Your Kids
Whether you are starting with preschoolers or pulling kids out of public school, your first few years of homeschooling can be overwhelming. There are so many different curriculums to choose from, teaching and learning styles to discover. There's your own family rhythm to adjust to and state requirements to figure out. There's also often added pressure from family and friends. Why would any parent choose to attempt to teach fractions or (gasp) long division when they can leave it to the professionals? Our goal is to provide encouraging information about homeschooling basics, plus give you thoughtful and informative ideas on how to get started and stay the course.
Calming Angry, Anxious and Strong-Willed Kids
You don't know how to control your child's anger, anxiety and strong-will. You feel hopeless, fearful of your child's future, and angry yourself. Tricia shares her own deeply personal experiences of trying to help her challenging kids. She shares her honest feelings and things she's learned to help you help your child. Tricia leans in to share things that really work. She also reminds you that no matter how hard you find the journey, God is there to help. He'll do a great work within you as you do your best to help your kids.
40 Ways to Be Present in Your Child's Day
In the midst of a busy day it's easy for mamas to think of our children as "tasks" rather than as "hearts" we need to connect with. We struggle with putting our kids before our to-do lists and school schedules. After all, we can mark things off our to-do lists. Kids are never "done." It hurts my heart to realize what my kids see and experience on some days: a busy, distracted mom. "If young children live in the present and adults spend most of their time in the past or in the future, we have abandoned our children to some degree," says Becky Bailey, PH.D., author of I Love Your Rituals. Tricia Goyer shares how to be present in your child's day.
Planning and Scheduling Your Homeschool
Planning and Scheduling Your Homeschool How do you plan and schedule your homeschool, especially when you have kids of various ages? Tricia Goyer will share: - Knowing and following your state requirements - Scheduling heart training, beyond book training - Big picture planning - How to plan a week - How to teach kids of various ages at the same time - Discovering that a routine is your friend - Whiteboards, calendars, and planners - Morning time and read-alouds - When life goes off schedule - Vacationing while others are in school - Chores and home ec - Birthdays, holidays and other celebrations Having a plan keeps you on track and helps when you get off track.

How to Get Rid of T-Zone Pimples
Pimples on your face's T zone can be hard to manage, because the forehead, nose and chin can be oily at the same time the area around the mouth and cheeks are dry and flaky. The T zone is prone to pimples and blackheads because there are more oil-producing glands in those areas, according to TeensHealth. Although pimples in the T zone can be frustrating, you can control them with patience and proper care.
Wash your face with warm water and a mild cleanser twice a day, in the morning and at night. Massage the cleanser into your face without scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly with warm water; cleanser remaining on the skin can clog the pores, causing pimples and blackheads.
Saturate a cotton ball with a toner containing salicylic acid, recommends "Seventeen." Smooth the toner over your T zone. Alternatively, apply an over-the-counter skin care product containing benzoyl peroxide, which will dry oily T zone areas and decrease bacteria that can cause pimples and blackheads.
Smooth an oil-free moisturizer over any dry areas on your face after toning. Use a moisturizer marked "noncomodogenic," which won't clog the pores.
Keep your hands away from your face, because oil and bacteria on your hands can spread bacteria to your face. Always wash your hands before applying make-up or moisturizer.
Wash your hair regularly. The oil in your hair can make T-zone pimples worse.
Don't be tempted to pop the pimples in your T-zone. Popping the pimples can irritate the skin. It can push infected matter deeper into the pores, and can leave scars.

Calgary police dealing with increase in food theft
As Calgary police are confronted with a rise in drug-fuelled crime across the city, one unit of the service is addressing a trend targeting local retailers.
Police say they are seeing an increase in the amount of shoplifting and food theft incidents, including cases in which thousands of dollars worth of high-end grocery items are being sold through organized crime rings.
Cst. Lara Sampson, who works on organized retail crime cases within the Calgary police Specialized Offender Unit, said the large majority of people behind this kind of large-scale theft are drug users addicted to opiates or other substances.
After making off with over-the-counter medications or high-end food items such as tenderloins and lobster tails — hitting up to 10 grocery or drug stores in one day — the suspects are then trading those products for drugs or cash.
"With our big opiate crisis that we're seeing, a lot of these people that are addicted to these drugs are looking to make fast money, and by stealing meat, seafood, baby formula, grocery products, they can turn it around really fast for drugs and cash," said Sampson.
Those stolen items are then being resold into the market through drug houses to other businesses or restaurants, she said — retailers that typically know they are buying stolen product or, "they have a suspicion but they are turning a blind eye to it."
"Meat is so expensive, so a smaller chain, to be able to survive, is sometimes looking the other way and buying stolen meat," said Sampson.
There are health and safety risks associated with that, such as products not being stored at the right temperature or being cross-contaminated by the drug users stealing the items, Sampson noted.
Sue Ghebari, manager of Family Foods in Mayland Heights, said food theft was such a problem for the grocery store last year that they stopped carrying high-end meats.
"When you look at stock and you know that you've put out an entire tenderloin but it doesn't show that it's sold in your system . . . we've decided that for the time being, we're going to offer sort of a basic meat," she said.
The store also implemented new security measures a few months ago, including doors that require shoppers to enter through one side and exit through another, so customers have to pass by a staff member.
Customers are also being asked to check any large bags with staff. When the store was seeing a high amount of food theft around the spring and fall of 2016, the products were typically being stashed in bags. Other times, the thieves would just run out with an entire box of product, or "stuff steak down their pants and run away."
Ghebari said there is a "certain demographic" that is taking food, and "perhaps they're selling it for other reasons." Other times, it's the last person she'd expect to see stealing.
"And I wonder if it is because they really don't have any other choice," she said, noting many customers rely on the store's reduced-price section to be able to afford things such as produce.
Thefts "really do cut into the bottom line" for a business like Family Foods, Ghebari said. To make up for those losses, the store owners have to find ways to trim expenses — although they have managed to keep all their staff employed through the economic downturn.
"We're a husband-and-wife team," said Ghebari. "And just like everyone else, trying to pay the bills."
According to Sampson, large-scale food theft tends to coincide with other crime, such as stolen vehicles, robberies, violence and weapons offences.
"Because it is a low-penalty crime, it will always be there until there are changes in our actual sentencing and penalties on theft under ($5,000)," Sampson said.
The risk of getting caught and getting a substantial penalty is low, until there are multiple charges — which is when Sampson's unit comes in.
"We try to really get all of those charges together to get some good sentencing, to get some good conditions, try to get them into treatment," she said.
According to Alberta Health Services, if police alert the health authority that a restaurant has been supplied with stolen meat products, a followup investigation is completed into the safety of the food supply at that facility.
Under the Public Health Act, any food product served to the public must be supplied by a food facility that is permitted by AHS, licensed by Alberta Agriculture or registered as a federal facility with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Your home bar is one of your favorite places to entertain and spend time with friends, but if you don't have the right bar stools, then you may find that your guests don't want to sit and stay with you for very long. Not only does the right bar stool help to tie together the room, thanks to unique details and great construction, but they are inviting, inspiring your guests or family members to pull up a seat at your bar and talk for awhile. By choosing your new stools from The New Traditionalists, you can be sure that they will be the perfect mix of function and style.
Your personal style, as well as the style that you have chosen for your bar, will play a huge role in what new stools you buy. It can be very difficult to find the perfect stools that will fit your space without wanting to chance some part of the design, which is why it's such a good idea to work with a company that will allow you to make updates and changes to your new stools. The style of your stools will play a huge role in the overall feel of your space, which is why it's so important.
Your new stools are going to be more than just functional – they are also going to be gorgeous, which is why you want to make sure that you are bold in your choices. From gorgeous custom cushions with welt detailing and corset stitching on the back to hand-applied wood stain in a variety of colors, your new stools need to be bold, inviting, and unlike anything that you have seen before. When they are, then you will make a statement with your stools, and they will capture the attention of anyone coming to visit you.
Everyone wants their space to meet their needs, but choosing the right stools for your bar is more than simply buying utilitarian places to sit. This is the perfect opportunity to make sure that your space works for you, both in function and in design. Consider luxurious leather stools with a tufted back or taller, more elegant stools that will make your space seem more open and inviting. No matter what kind of stool works best in your space, when you have it custom made and designed for your specific needs, then you won't have to worry about the appearance or function of your space.
Spending time at your home bar requires a serious stool that is built to last, is comfortable, and will attract the attention of anyone in your room. When you are ready to seriously design your bar space and make sure that it is as well thought out as the rest of your home, you need to take a hard look at your stools. The right bar stool will complement your space, rely on hand construction for a safe and sturdy feel, and will last through a lot of late nights with friends.

If you're considering dental implants, they'll need to be surgically placed in the jaw bone. But don't be alarmed — it's a relatively minor procedure that usually requires nothing more than local anesthesia.
But that being said, it's still an invasive procedure that involves making incisions in gum and bone tissues. That could introduce bacteria into the bloodstream and pose, for certain individuals, a slightly greater risk of infection.
But infection risk is quite low for most healthy patients. As a result, implants enjoy a greater than 95-percent success rate ten years after installation. But some patients have health issues that increase their risk of infection. These include older adults with a weakened immune system, smokers, diabetics or those well under or over their ideal weight.
If you have these or similar health situations, we may recommend undergoing an antibiotic treatment before you undergo surgery. This can help prevent bacteria from spreading and reduce the likelihood of an infection.
Preventive antibiotic therapy is commonplace with many other dental procedures. Both the American Dental Association and the American Heart Association recommend antibiotics before any invasive oral procedure for patients with prosthetic (false) heart valves, past endocarditis, a heart transplant or other heart conditions. To lower the risk of implant failure due to infection, we often advise antibiotics for patients who fall in these categories, as well as those with similar conditions mentioned earlier.
Of course, whether pre-surgical antibiotics is a wise choice for you will depend on your medical history and current health status. We'll consider all these factors thoroughly before advising you. But if you are more susceptible to infection, antibiotics before surgery could potentially lower your risk for an implant failure.
If you would like more information on implant procedures, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Everyone loves a concert where there's plenty of audience participation… until it starts to get out of hand. Recently, the platinum-selling band Fifth Harmony was playing to a packed house in Atlanta when things went awry for vocalist Camila Cabello. Fans were batting around a big plastic ball, and one unfortunate swing sent the ball hurtling toward the stage — and directly into Cabello's face. Pushing the microphone into her mouth, it left the "Worth It" singer with a chipped front tooth.
Ouch! Cabello finished the show nevertheless, and didn't seem too upset. "Atlanta… u wild… love u," she tweeted later that night. "Gotta get it fixed now tho lol." Fortunately, dentistry offers a number of ways to make that chipped tooth look as good as new.
A small chip at the edge of the tooth can sometimes be polished with dental instruments to remove the sharp edges. If it's a little bigger, a procedure called dental bonding may be recommended. Here, the missing part is filled in with a mixture of plastic resin and glass fillers, which are then cured (hardened) with a special light. The tooth-colored bonding material provides a tough, lifelike restoration that's hard to tell apart from your natural teeth. While bonding can be performed in just one office visit, the material can stain over time and may eventually need to be replaced.
Porcelain veneers are a more long-lasting solution. These wafer-thin coverings go over the entire front surface of the tooth, and can resolve a number of defects — including chips, discoloration, and even minor size or spacing irregularities. You can get a single veneer or have your whole smile redone, in shades ranging from a pearly luster to an ultra-bright white; that's why veneers are a favorite of Hollywood stars. Getting veneers is a procedure that takes several office visits, but the beautiful results can last for many years.
If a chip or crack extends into the inner part of a tooth, you'll probably need a crown (or cap) to restore the tooth's function and appearance. As long as the roots are healthy, the entire part of the tooth above the gum line can be replaced with a natural-looking restoration. You may also need a root canal to remove the damaged pulp material and prevent infection if the fracture went too far. While small chips or cracks aren't usually an emergency (unless accompanied by pain), damage to the tooth's pulp requires prompt attention.
If you have questions about smile restoration, please contact us and schedule an appointment. You can read more in the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Porcelain Veneers: Strength & Beauty As Never Before" and "Porcelain Crowns & Veneers."
If your sleeping partner snores, it could be more than an annoyance: it could be a sign of sleep apnea. This occurs when air flow into the lungs becomes obstructed in the throat for a few seconds during sleep. The obstruction can take many forms, but a common one arises from the tongue relaxing against the back of the throat, producing snoring sounds as air attempts to pass through this restricted area.
Sleep apnea can cause severe problems: lower daily energy levels and mood from poor sleep; lower oxygen saturation that could affect brain function; and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. So, if you're awakened by your partner's snoring (or they're complaining about yours!), it's important to have it checked and treated.
This begins with a visit to us for a complete oral examination. Like many dentists, we're well trained in the anatomy and structures of the mouth, as well as the causes and treatment of sleep apnea. We'll examine your mouth, take into account any possible symptoms you're experiencing and, if your suspicions are correct, refer you to a sleep physician to diagnose if you have sleep apnea.
Treatment will depend on its cause and severity. An oral appliance worn during sleep is the recommended first treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea that involves the tongue as an obstruction. We develop a custom appliance that helps move your tongue away from the back of the throat, reducing both apnea and snoring sounds. For more advanced sleep apnea you could benefit from a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine. This device generates continuous air pressure through a mask worn while sleeping that helps keep the airway open.
Of course, there are other causes for obstruction, some of which may require surgical intervention to relieve the problem. Abnormally large tonsils, adenoids or excessive soft tissue can all restrict air flow. Surgically removing or altering these structures could help reduce airway restriction.
Whatever type or degree of sleep apnea you or your partner may have, there are solutions. The right treatment will not only improve overall health, it will help both of you get a better night's sleep.
If you would like more information on sleep apnea and how to treat it, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "If You Snore, You Must Read More!"

Fatcow vs FastDomain
3 important research was done and we rated FastDomain as below. Find out more about how we came up with this simple but essential hosting comparison below.
Compare The Prices
First, let us compare the hosting costs at Fatcow and FastDomain. The cheaper option for hosting an uncomplicated WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, X-Cart or Zencart is most definitely Fatcow. If you just need to host one website using one domain, require a reasonable amount of diskspace and visits-per-day, and want a few email accounts, then Fatcow, priced from $ 3.67 per month is easily your better hosting. If you absolutely require an unlimited domains hosting plan and need high diskspace usage, then you will have to carefully look at the features and TOS of each hosting plan.
Do take note that we only compared the cost for one year prepayment. Do not get sucked by the too-good-to-be-true super low prices advertised by the hosting providers or by other dishonest web hosting review sites.

From Hobo to HODL
One might not think that a traditional hand engraver would incorporate bitcoin into their art, but Alex Saburov has brought his own master craft into the industry. He is world-renowned when it comes to "hobo-nickels," the act of creatively altering small denomination coins that has existed for centuries. He certainly is a versatile artisan, who also has proved himself in partnerships with luxury knife and watch brands. His recent work, a beautiful silver hand-engraved Bitcoin watch, has gained great attention in the cryptocurrency community. We got to catch up with him today to snag his perspective on the blockchain space as a manual artisan.
The Creative Crypto (CC): Tell us about your background and how you entered the blockchain space, if at all?
I am a designer-engraver working for over 20 years in the jewelry industry. Throughout these years I have been involved in a variety of artistic projects for high-end companies specializing in luxury goods, such as the Corum Swiss Watches, Scott Kay Jewelry and William Henry knives. Special projects close to my heart are the traditional American so-called "hobo-nickels" – a true embossed metal sculpture on a coin, a folk art that became my passion.
As far as the blockchain space is concerned, it is still a big mystery to me of how this amazing phenomenon is as ubiquitous as it is! When it comes to cryptocurrency, like many folks out there, I've heard some news, sure, then read an article-and-half about it and watched a youtube video (most of it!), before realizing that the idea of money without a government body behind it is still utterly mysterious to me. Nonetheless, Bitcoin has this wonderful aura of changing times. It is exciting, futuristic, and it's more of a concept than a tangible thing, which is always an interesting challenge for an artist to depict.
CC: What excites you most about the applications and prospects of blockchain, if any?
It may very well be the future, does it not? Just a decade ago, I imagined that the idea of a blockchain would have been laughed out of the room by most people in the industry. And again, it's an interesting concept to explore visually.
CC: Tell us more about the hand-engraved Bitcoin watch. What message were you trying to convey? What do the skulls represent exactly?
In tarot cards, "Death" or the Grim Reaper means change. For better or for worse. Bitcoin seems to have this apocalyptic sense to it, which can also be for better or for worse. It is an instrument of change, a possible "before and after" moment.
There has also been influence by the Flemish masterpieces depicting a skull, like the "Vanitas Still Life" by Hendrick Andriessen. Essentially, the painting depicts material wealth laid out on the table, with a skull in the middle as a reminder of how fragile and perishable it is.
Hendrick Andriessen's "Vanitas Still Life"
CC: What are you working on now and what can we look forward to in the future?
My main focus is steam-punk, Gothic, and western motifs, with an occasional Norman Rockwell-type scenario of whimsical hobos, animals, and mechanical gadgets. The blockchain theme feels akin to cyberpunk, which is still new to me. Digital technology, futuristic concepts, etc… I will come back to it, because it is fascinating when I have something fresh to say or show on this subject.
CC: I didn't see an option for customers to pay in cryptocurrency. Would you be willing to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment, or no?
That is a very interesting question, which is not a hypothetical for me. I was offered very real payment in cryptocurrency from a reliable source, yet at that time I asked for a more traditional remittance because I knew how to "take it to the bank," as opposed to Bitcoin which had all markings of hype.
CC: On a fun note, David Bowie was one of a kind, and the Bowie band actually received your art commemorated to him. Is there a life lesson you've been able to glean through Bowie and his art?
Yes, I am a fan. Also, my family happens to be acquainted with Gerry Leonard, the guitarist from the original Bowie band. When there was The David Bowie Tribute it seemed appropriate to commemorate Bowie's genius in the best way I could, hence I made several guitar picks with Bowie's portrait, which were presented to the Bowie band and the beautiful singer Lorde at the BRIT Awards 2016.
My own way of saying Thank You and Goodbye.
CC: For new creatives looking to get into the blockchain space, what would be your motivational message?
Stay clear of cliches. They are boring.

The RACGP thanks the Cancer Council Australia for the opportunity to comment on the Draft clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of melanoma.
This is a highly specialised area for dermatologists and oncologists, however general practitioners do see patients undergoing some form of treatment for metastatic cancers and melanoma. The draft guidelines focus on variations of active treatment and the RACGP suggest that there could be more emphasis on shared decision-making particularly in instances of palliative care and non-treatment options.

I will go straight to the point: the TV adaptation of Tabi Po is bold, brave, and beautiful.
In an entertainment scene saturated by stories we've seen a thousand times over—family rivalries, long-lost daughters, mistresses and cheating husbands, bad guys in black jackets, you name it—it was a refreshing sight to instead see three bloodied, naked aswangs feasting on a human body in a Filipino TV show. Between the hisses, the blood-stained teeth, and the horror of it all, I, a spectator, was quite moved. Where has this show been all this time?
Picked up by Cignal TV's SARI SARI Channel, Mervin Malonzo's popular digital comics "Tabi Po" is about to hit the Filipino screen for the first time ever. The show will premiere on Cignal on October 27th as a six-part TV series.
I got invited to an exclusive screening of the show's first episode. The viewing was held at Cignal's Experience Center at Launchpad, in Mandaluyong. They had draped the store's glass windows with black cloths, while chairs and some very comfortable couches faced a screen so massive, it covered an entire wall. Snacks and drinks were passed around. It was a whole theater experience, and I was genuinely excited.
I settled in, and not long after, the episode began.
From comics to TV
Tabi Po is a story centered on Elias, a neophyte aswang. The first few minutes of the pilot episode shows the "birth" of Elias from a tree, and his deranged wanderings in the forest as he discovers his insatiable craving for flesh. Tasyo and Sabel eventually find him, two other aswangs like Elias. They take him under their wing, feed him, clothe him, and educate him on both the ways of the human and the aswang. Together, the three go on a quest to find answers about their true nature.
This story is based on the graphic novel of the same title—Tabi Po. The digital comic version of the graphic novel has been around since 2010, and has developed a cult following through the years. Fans will be happy to learn that the TV adaptation will mostly remain loyal to the main plot of the original comic series, except that in the TV show, Elias is recounting events from a present-day setting that's different from the graphic novel's. Tabi Po's creator, author Mervin Malonzo, has been largely involved in the production and writing of the TV series from the beginning.
The unconventional protagonists
In Tabi Po, the main characters are also the bad guys. AJ Muhlach, Adrian Alandy, and Phoebe Walker play the roles of Tabi Po's ravenous aswangs whose stories we follow—Elias, Tasyo, and Sabel. The three share good chemistry on screen; although in this case, chemistry doesn't necessarily mean a lovey-dovey spark. In a company of three aswangs, chemistry in Tabi Po is often served as tension and hostility between its main characters.
AJ Muhlach is a revelation. The handsome young actor completely disappears in the show and all you are left with is a vision of a mindless, savage, dirt-covered aswang hunting prey in the forest. Adrian Alandy is admirable, as expected. He has command, a strong presence, and takes space that is rightfully Tasyo's as the oldest aswang in the group. And Phoebe Walker is a showstopper. Her eyes are constantly wild and hungry, and the poetic dialogues of Tabi Po when coming from her mouth sound almost like a serenade. She'll lure you in.
The actors are selfless in their perfomance, surrendering completely to what I could only assume is a job that isn't always easy. These are roles that ask much from them, after all. In Tabi Po, the characters are stripped down, figuratively and literally, and the show doesn't try to protect its viewers from that.
The blood, the guts, and the bare bodies
Guts spilling and being pulled out from open bodies, blood dripping down chins and arms, teeth digging into flesh—Tabi Po takes a bold step forward for Philippine TV content and dives all the way in. The show doesn't shield its viewers from blood and gore. Not even from nudity. The aswangs, responding to their primal instincts, would strip down to bare backs and bottom as they devour their meal.
Scenes like these are some of my favorites in the pilot episode, simply because they were the same moments I realized Tabi Po isn't like any other TV series. In a country and culture where a large population remains conservative, Tabi Po stands out as a show that's full of courage, ready to set the bar higher for Philippine TV experience.
The cinematography
Here's the cherry on top of it all. If you are a sucker for good cinematography, you will love Tabi Po. Many of the show's scenes, though sensitive in nature, were delivered in taste and art, while the important sequences really stand out.
In the first few minutes of the pilot episode, for example, the camera glides deep into the forest, and I remember feeling astounded at the crispness of the leaves, the cacophony of colors, and the feeling that I was in the forest too and not just watching it. The birth of Elias from the tree and him stumbling hungrily in the woods is also a cinematic pleasure for the senses. These aren't just important establishing shots, it's establishing feelings, too.
And that is just the beginning. There are more wonderful scenes to discover, like the symbolic cleansing at the river which is undoubtedly the best scene from the pilot episode.
Filipinos have long been ready for new, bold, and brave TV content; no one has just stepped up to the plate yet…until now. Tabi Po is not here to play small—this is the kind of quality TV series Filipinos have been waiting for.
And like Elias, a voracious newborn aswang, my first taste of Tabi Po, of something that has so much life in its veins, has left me hungry for more.
Directed by Paul Basinillo, Tabi Po premieres on October 27 at 8PM on SARI SARI Channel on Cignal. Catch it every Friday at 8PM from October 27 to December 1.
