Have it be an experienced athlete or an average Joe, everybody at some point wonders about taking a vitamin supplement. Do we really need them? Which one should I get? When should I take them? These questions come up countless times.
The first piece of vitamin advice is that if you live in today's modern society you need at least a multi vitamin and mineral supplement each day. The past thought was that if you eat a well balanced diet you would get plenty of vitamins and minerals from the whole foods. That was correct in the past, but with all of the modern methods of food production vitamin and mineral content has increasingly been declining.
Some studies suggest that the average vitamin and mineral loss in produce has dropped 22% in just 75 years. It is becoming more difficult to get the minimum RDA's from food, which simply prevent deficiency. It is almost impossible and unrealistic to get optimal vitamin and mineral levels that promote health with food alone.
The second piece of vitamin advice would be never taking a single nutrient alone. Vitamins and minerals do not naturally exist in isolation. They also do not work in isolation in your body. So simple logic will tell you not to take them in isolation. For example, one study found that homocysteine (protein indicator correlated with many diseases) levels were reduced by 17% when folic acid was taken alone. Those levels dropped 19% on vitamin B12 alone. Those same levels dropped 57% when folic acid and B12 were taken together. There was a 60% drop when folic acid, B12, and B6 were taken together. Can you see the pattern?
The last bit of vitamin advice for now is to split up the doses. The more nutrients taken at once by the body, the smaller percentage will be absorbed. That means that if you need to take two pills to get the full dose, then take one in the morning and one at night. You can also cut the pill in half if the serving is just one pill.
It can be tough when choosing a good multivitamin; especially since there is so much to know about vitamins. When shopping around for a good multivitamin there are 10 tips you should know. Read the following tips to guide you as you make a purchase of multivitamins.
You don't necessarily need to spend a fortune on a multivitamin. For the most part, they all work the same. The basics are all you really need to consume.
USP labels - look for the USP label on the side of the bottle or box of vitamins. This means that they have been tested and meet the standards of the US pharmacopoeia. They tend to be cheaper than those name brands that do not test against the standards of US pharmacopoeia.
Levels of vitamin A should not exceed 5000 IU. At least 40% should contain beta carotene which is safer for your bones. Higher doses of vitamin A can result in a higher risk of lung cancer in smokers.
Multivitamins should contain 100% daily value of the following minerals: magnesium, chromium, selenium, iodine, zinc, and copper.
The recommended amount of vitamins C and E should be 250 to 500 milligrams a day. Large doses of vitamin E can conflict with the conversion of vitamin C.
Taking a separate calcium supplement a day than that of the dosage in your multivitamin is highly recommended. Because calcium and not as condensed as other vitamins, it tends to take up more space leaving the multivitamin lacking in a sufficient amount. 1,000 milligrams a day is the recommended amount to be consumed.
Iron is significant to those suffering from pre-menopausal syndrome. 100% of iron is recommended. Postmenopausal women do not require as much and could even require none.
Large doses of copper can interfere with zinc. When reading labels be sure to check all the dosages of important vitamins and minerals.
Always take your multivitamin with food for a better absorption rate.
Most important vitamins and minerals that should be taken at 100% include vitamin D, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid.

Follow your passion!
We are constantly being told this is THE key to success. Of course, it's just that simple, right? "Gosh, why didn't I think of that?", you say, as you slap your forehead. As if you haven't already been racking your brain, trying to figure out what the heck you could possibly be so passionate about that you'd be willing to spend years of your life creating a business around it.
Here are a few different ways of looking at the passion question:
- Who are you passionate about helping?
- What kinds of things do you enjoy doing?
- What concepts are you passionate about?
- What are your core values?
- What achievements would make you feel incredible?
When you have some answers for those questions, start looking at them all together and see if any ideas emerge that combine elements together. Say, if you're passionate about helping disadvantaged kids, and you enjoy hiking, and environmental conservation is one of your core values, maybe you can develop a business that does eco-tours where a portion of the proceeds goes towards camping adventures for kids.
Combining elements this way creates a more meaningful business that will satisfy you on multiple levels, so if one of those passions falls away, you're still having a blast because the business addresses your core values. In my case, I get so much fulfilment from developing my employees' leadership skills and helping them set and achieve goals in their lives.
Remember: your passions will likely change as you get older, and this is totally OK. Don't feel like you're trapped by your business. If you suspect it may be a passing fancy but still want to try building a business around a passion you have, create it with the intention of selling it one day. You may not actually sell it, but if you're mindful of the possibility when you're creating the business, you will make it a more saleable, attractive entity for buyers.
So yes, follow your passion, but realize that it isn't just one thing. You have multiple, ever-changing passions and this is part of what makes you a unique and beautiful snowflake. What won't change, are your core values. You may add other values as you grow older, but it's unlikely that you will lose any–so it's always a safe bet to build a business based on your values.
What are you passionate about, that you want to build a business around? Leave a comment and tell me about it!

Creatine: The Urban Myths Live!
Sunday, June 20, 2010
In another position statement published by the International Society of Sports Nutrition (Buford, T. W., Kreider, R. B., Stout, J. R., Greenwood, M., Campbell, B., Spano, M. et al. (2007). International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: creatine supplementation and exercise. J Int.Soc.Sports Nutr, 4, 6.) they listed a number of persistent myths about creatine, including:
1. All weight gained during creatine supplementation is due to water retention.
2. Creatine supplementation causes renal distress.
3. Creatine supplementation causes cramping, dehydration, and/or altered electrolyte status.
4. Long-term effects of creatine supplementation are completely unknown.
5. Newer creatine formulations are more beneficial than creatine monohydrate (CM) and cause fewer side effects.
6. It's unethical and/or illegal to use creatine supplements.
Bottom line of the article was that these are indeed myths that have been refuted in numerous scientific articles. In fact it is one of the most extensively studied nutritional supplements for athletes (and us sub-athletes as well). Consistently the findings have been very positive for creative supplementation, yet these myths persist. In fact I was recently a recipient of one of myth number 1. In a visit to a sports injury clinic this winter I asked about creatine as a supplement to aid in building muscle. The response was all it did was store water in your muscles. So I never looked into creatine until recently when I started conducting some more systematic research into sports nutrition. I'll summarize the findings of this review of the research by the International Society of Sports Nutrition. But you can just read the Creatine Coles Notes below and save yourself the longer read.
Just as a caveat, I'm not a trained nutritionist, medical expert etc. Since I don't claim to be an expert in any of this so I'd suggest you use the information to stimulate ideas, but check things out for yourself. I always provide references to the material I'm using for that people can help inform themselves.
Creatine Coles Notes:
1. Creatine monohydrate (CM) is the most effective nutritional supplement currently available to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and
lean body mass during training.
2. Creatine monohydrate supplementation is safe and may have benefits in terms of preventing injuries.
3. There is no rigorous evidence to suggest short-term or longer-term negative effects of CM supplementation.
4. CM supplementation is safe for young athletes (but proper coaching and training is necessary to ensure ethical use of all forms of supplements in this age group).
5. CM is the most studied from of creatine supplement although others have been tested (e.g. creatine ethyl ester and creatine with cinnulin extract) their superiority to CM is not clearly established. Probably more research is needed before on should consider switching to newer creatine products. Even if shown to be superior, CM is cheaper than most alternatives so for those of us who aren't elite athletes this may be just fine. There is evidence, however, to suggest that adding B-alanine to CM may result in greater gain in strength, lean mass in addition to delaying muscle fatigue. You can add this yourself to your nutritional supplement strategy.
Creatine – The Longer Version
Now first a few basic facts. Creatine a natural non-protein nitrogen (it contains nitrogen but is not protein). By natural I mean that it is produced in the body by the liver and panaceas from amino acids and it also is found in foods such as meats. Virtually all of the body's creatine is stored in muscles – about two thirds is stored as phosphocreatine (PCr) and the remainder is just stored as creatine in the muscle. When we exercise the energy provided to our muscles comes from ADP and ATP and both are dependent on the amount of PCr stored in the muscles. As PCr is depleted from intense exercise it becomes more and more difficult for the body to resynthesize ATP needed for the muscles to function.
So basically PCr, the stored form of creatine in our muscles, is essential for the energy to undertake intense exercise.
So while you can find creatine in foods such as fish and meats a large amount needs to be consumed to obtain even a single gram of creatine, hence the search for a means to supplement creatine stores (and the desire to make huge profits I suspect). Creatine monohydrate (CM) is one of the most inexpensive and most researched forms of creatine supplement available. Based on several hundred peer-reviewed research studies the benefits of CM, 70% of the studies reported a significant increase in exercise capacity. For example, short-term supplementation increased maximal power during weight sets by 5 % to 15%, sprint performance increasing in the same range. Longer-term CM supplementation also increased strength and performance gains by 5% to 15%. Nearly all studies show increased in body mass by about 1 to 2 kg in the first weeks. Longer-term supplementation shows CM results in twice as much gain in lean body mass in the range of 4 lbs within 4 to 12 weeks compared to subjects who exercise but take no CM supplement (placebo). Sure there are studies showing no significant gain but a large majority show substantial improvements. Those familiar with the concept of statistical power in a research design know that sample sizes will often be too small to find a statistically significant result even when there is real impact. So a non-significant study result only means the researchers cannot reject the null hypothesis that there is no difference between two groups. It does not mean one can definitely claim there was no impact. Repeated studies showing no impact would lead one to that conclusion but in the case of the CM research much the opposite occurs, the large majority of research finds a significant and positive benefit of CM supplementation.
There are many new forms of creatine in the marketplace that claim to be superior to CM. Most have been shown to be no better than the old school CM in terms of strength of performance enhancement. More research is required on creatine ethyl ester and creatine with cinnulin extract before any reliable conclusions can be reached. There is evidence to suggest that adding B-alanine to CM may result in greater gain in strength, lean mass in addition to delaying muscle fatigue.
The article points out that the only clinically significant side effect in the literature is weight gain. The literature does report anecdotal occurrences of dehydration, cramping, liver damage, muscle injuries, but this evidence is from athletes who are often undergoing intensive training and the evidence shows no difference with or with CM supplementation. These problems will arise in a certain percentage of athletes regardless of their nutritional habits. In fact some of the literature showed a lower risk of these symptoms with CM supplementation.
On the negative effects of CM on renal function, this apparently arose from early case studies with no scientific validity. Later research supporting these concerns is based on increases in serum creatinine levels in urine. But carefully controlled studies suggest no difference between groups with CM and control groups without CM supplementation in healthy individuals.
What about the longer term impacts? What do we know? This has been a concern often raised. So far there has been no long term impacts on athletes monitored over five years. One study tracked a group of individuals since 1981 who had been taking 1.5 to 3 grams of CM per day. No significant side effects were reported (compared to comparable groups without CM supplementation). On the contrary, some research suggests benefits of creatine supplementation for some patient groups.
Keep it away from children? Despite what you may have heard, the studies of CM among younger population shows no adverse effects in children/adolescents, although admittedly there are fewer studies researching the impacts of CM in these age groups. However, as will all forms of supplementation with younger athletes, proper coaching and training is necessary to ensure ethical use of supplements, including CM.
Based on the research reviewed in this research article (Buford, T. W., Kreider, R. B., Stout, J. R., Greenwood, M., Campbell, B., Spano, M. et al. (2007). International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: creatine supplementation and exercise. J Int.Soc.Sports Nutr, 4, 6.) I think one can be more confident about what known about CM than most modern food additives we see in our food every day.

Max Landis' Chronicle was one of Collider's Most Anticipated Films for the first quarter of 2012 and was a nice little box office surprise for Fox. The studio is hoping that lightning strikes twice as Landis has been tapped to write the sequel to the found-footage superhero film. Chronicle's plot line followed three teenagers (Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan) as they acquired superhuman powers and attempted to gain control over them. Without giving too much of the plot away, let's just say that not all of them were able to walk the straight and narrow path. Chronicle played out in such a way that a direct sequel involving all of the principal characters would be difficult, but fans of comics know that, in the world of superhuman powers, quite literally anything is possible. Hit the jump for more on Chronicle.
Deadline reported that Landis will be gearing up to write the sequel to Chronicle. As a big fan of the original film, I'd love to see what kind of spin Landis has in store for the sequel. It's hard to say whether or not director Josh Trank will return to direct the sequel as he was recently reported to be in talks for Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man spin-off, Venom. It will also be difficult to replicate the feel of the original, which employed "self-shot" footage from the teens documenting the testing of their superpowers. While I felt that the first film suffered from a bit of a disjointed plot towards the end, it was an overall solid effort for a group of relative newcomers. Even our Matt Goldberg enjoyed the film; you can read his review here to see for yourself. If you're a fan of Akira, properly done found-footage films or just superheroes in general, you owe it to yourself to check out Chronicle, if you haven't already. Check out all of our previous coverage here. Here's the trailer for the original:

Well, maybe I'm off. But in that case, let's drop everything but 2.7 and call it plain python, no suffix on the package, and no suffix on the installed files, and and remove all support for older versions, so that we'd treat it like perl5. Would that be ok? (That's a serious question; my impression is that it would not be ok.)
No, we need 2.7 and 3.x because 3.x is not quite ready for prime time yet. As for 2.[4567], as far as I can tell you are correct except for Zope which requires a feature only available in 2.4 which is EOL'd so maybe we should drop Zope as well. My impression is that Zope people build it manually anyway.
Or, we can change PYTHON_VERSION_REQUIRED to mean '>= X' instead of having to list them all, so that by default when a new 2.x is added it gets used.
That probably mostly works except for packages that rely on deprecated features like Zope. I am not sure how many that is but I would be willing to look into any specific packages if you want. My experience is that when I come across packages that don't support 2.7 (my current default) I can often get it working just by adding 27 to the list. Oh yah, py-gd failed but that whole package was deprecated anyway. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain <darcy%NetBSD.org@localhost> http://www.NetBSD.org/ IM:darcy%Vex.Net@localhost

Search engine optimization (SEO) is something that all webmasters are concerned about. To help them retain SEO benefits in the event of changes in the site, they need to know about web pages redirect. Search engine ranking is determined by the number and quality of inbound links to a specific webpage. There is always a possibility that the page's URL changes, which means redirection is needed to retain the SEO benefits of any inbound links.
What is web page redirect?
Typically when search engine bots or web browsers request a webpage at a specified URL on your site, the server will try to locate the URL in order to return the requested HTML code. If the web page is discovered, the server returns the HTML code needed by your browser to render the webpage, along with the 200 HTTP status. The status informs the requesting bots or browsers that the webpage is available and its HTML code is being returned.
However, in some cases, the page is permanently moved (the URL changed) or even deleted. In this situation, you, as the webmaster, needs to choose between these two options:
- Tell all subsequent requests for the moved or deleted web page to return the 404 HTTP status, which indicates that the webpage is no longer available.
- Tell the bots or browsers to go to the new URL.
The latter option is often called as page redirect.
Types of web page redirect.
There are three options you can use to redirect any request to a moved or deleted web page:
- Meta refresh element
- 302 redirect (temporary)
- 301 redirect (permanent)
The above redirection methods will guide the bots or crawlers to a new URL, which help to retain the traffic or the SEO benefits of inbound links. However, when we see it from the SEO perspective, each one of these methods has a varying degree of effectiveness.
Meta refresh element
This method is usually used when the site can't support 301 and 302 redirection. It often happens if you put your site in a free web hosting company. You should use this redirection method when HTML is the only available tool to redirect the bots and browsers. The meta refresh element is rather easy to implement. You only need to add a meta refresh element at the HTML code of the old URL. The element informs the bots and crawlers about the location of the new URL and you can set the delay needed before the browser ask for the new URL.
When the bots or the browsers request for an old URL, the web server returns the HTML code for the old URL along with the 200 HTTP status, to indicate that the old page is available. However, when the bots read the HTML code, it is redirected to the new URL, which is shown in the meta refresh element. On the other hand, when the browser renders the HTML for the old URL, it waits for a number of seconds and goes to the new URL. The web server returns the HTML code for the new URL, along with the 200 HTTP status.
Despite its simplicity, meta refresh element works well in redirecting human users. The zero second delay is not used, because some search engines refuse to transfer the SEO benefits to the new URL when no delay is used.
302 redirect
302 redirect (temporary) is a common way to temporarily guide bots and human visitors to a new URL. Unlike the meta refresh element method, the web server return the 302 HTTP status. This redirection method is usually implemented using redirection tools (such as Mod Rewrite) or server-side scripts.
When bots or browsers request an old URL, your web server issues the 302 HTTP status and the new URL is added to the HTTP header. The status informs the bots and browsers that the web page is only temporarily unavailable. Consequently, bots and crawlers request the new URL. The web server returns the HTML code of the new URL, along with the 200 HTTP status, which indicates that the new page is available.
This redirect method doesn't transfer the SEO benefits of inbound links to the new URL, because bots only consider the change as something temporary. They will index the content of the new URL and associate it with the index of the old URL. The new URL doesn't get any benefits from the inbound links when 302 redirect is used.
301 Redirect
This is the most powerful redirection method, especially if you make permanent URL changes in your site. When this method is used, the web server returns the 301 HTTP status, to indicate a permanent URL change. Just like the 302 redirect, you can use redirection tools or server-side scripts to implement the 301 redirect.
When bots and browsers ask for an old URL, your web server issues the 301 HTTP status along with the new URL. This status informs the bots and browsers that a permanent change has been made and they should go to a new URL. They will request for the new URL and the web server replies by sending the corresponding HTML codes, along with the 200 HTTP status indicating that the new webpage is available for access.
Unlike the 302 redirect, this redirection method transfers all SEO benefits to the new URL. Each inbound link directed toward the old URL will be transferred to the new one. As the result you won't lose both human traffic and search engine ranking.
A good webmaster should know what redirection method to use in any given time, as it can affect the SEO effort significantly.

"In Flanders Fields"
by John McCrae
(Originally a poster prepared for a WFA MK Branch meeting by Dr. Eric Webb)
This is probably the single best-known and most popular poem of the Great War. John McCrae (1872-1918) was a Canadian physician who fought on the Western Front in 1914, but was then transferred to the medical corps and assigned to a hospital in France. He died of pneumonia while on active duty in 1918.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be your to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

oneworld alliance strongly supports application for anti-trust immunity by American Airlines and its transatlantic partners15 August 2008
The oneworld® global airline alliance has warmly welcomed and strongly supports the application for anti-trust immunity filed today by its members American Airlines, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia and Royal Jordanian.
The filing was made as American Airlines, British Airways and Iberia signed a joint business agreement covering their flights between North America and Europe and unveiled plans for further co-operation (see www.moretravelchoices.com)
oneworld Managing Partner John McCulloch said: "oneworld has for many years been the only global alliance without the benefit of anti-trust immunity between its key transatlantic partners. This has put oneworld at a considerable disadvantage. We've had to work a great deal harder and smarter than our competitors to deliver the alliance services and benefits that our customers have come to appreciate so much.
"The competitive landscape has now changed fundamentally. Our rival alliances SkyTeam and Star have grown much bigger and the anti-trust immunity they enjoy has been extended far more widely. Meanwhile, the first phase of the new Europe-USA so-called "open skies" agreement is now in place, with five big new competitors launching a dozen daily flights between London Heathrow and the USA this flying season alone.
"Anti-trust immunity between oneworld's transatlantic partners would enable them to unlock even more of oneworld's potential, enabling us to operate under the same rules as our alliance competitors. For consumers, that means stronger inter-alliance competition, more choice, more services and more benefits."
The agreement announced today would result in the ending of oneworld's current transatlantic frequent flyer "carve out", which prevents members of American Airlines' AAdvantage and British Airways Executive Club loyalty programmes from earning or redeeming miles, or earning tier status credit, on the other airline's transatlantic flights.
About oneworld
oneworld brings together ten of the best and biggest names in the airline business - American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Malév Hungarian Airlines, Qantas and Royal Jordanian, and around 20 affiliates including American Eagle, Dragonair, LAN Argentina, LAN Ecuador and LAN Peru. Mexicana and its affiliate Click Mexicana will join the alliance in 2009.
Between them, these airlines:
- Serve almost 700 airports in nearly 150 countries, with some 9.000 daily departures.
- Offer nearly 550 airport lounges for premium customers.
- Carry 320 million passengers a year.
- Employ more than 250.000 people.
- Operate almost 2.500 aircraft.
- Generate more than US$100 billion annual revenues.

Hostinger is our absolute favourite WordPress host at the moment, the value you get for only £1.99 is very impressive!

2. Kinsta UK
Best Managed WordPress Hosting
Price: $30
Disk Space: 10 GB
Support:?Live Chat, Tickets
Kinsta falls under the fully managed WordPress hosting companies category. This means you have a team of people and custom-built apps constantly monitoring and adjusting settings where needed to maximise the performance of your WordPress site.
To host their sites, they use the Google Cloud Platform and have over 15 data centre locations worldwide for you to choose from. It's very different from the usual shared hosting systems, Kinsta gives every site their private server resources, so you're completely protected from other potentially problematic sites… as your site is the only one "in the house".
On top of that you have server-level caching, integrated CDN, free SSL certificate, one-click backup restores, staging environments, and much much more.
All of the above is also the reason for the extra cost… We would recommend Kinsta for bigger, more resource-heavy sites that cater to a global audience, then the extra cost is totally justified.

Their pricing is based on the amount of monthly visitors, rather than disk space. The starter plan gets you around a 25k limit, then it goes up from there.

With in-house WP specialised support, unlimited bandwidth and disk space, free migration and a super quick setup, they're a good choice.

Their plans start at?£9.49/mo
WordPress hosting features: Specialised support, WP migration, unlimited disk space.
- Local hosting service
- Unlimited disk space
- Expensive
9. HostGator
Good for WordPress Multisite Hosting

Their WP hosting uses cloud architecture which allows for 1-click scaling capabilities. They also offer auto-backups and one-click restores, free migrations, email accounts, and advanced security again WP specific attacks.
They don't have any servers in the UK though, so again you would need a CDN to get decent loading times in other countries.

- WP expert support
- Scalable

Price: $7.26

As for other features, all plans come with a 90-day money-back guarantee, staging environment, drag-n-drop page builder, and much more.
They also have a great support team in case you mess up your site and need assistance. They don't have any servers in the UK though, which is a bit of a bummer.

- Free domain name
- Reliable
- 90-day money-back guarantuee

11. Bluehost
Great for WordPress Blog Hosting
Price: $19.99
Disk space:?30 GB
Support: Phone, Live Chat, Tickets
Bluehost is mostly known for their cheap $3.95 shared hosting package, but they also offer WordPress hosting on their VPS servers. The price is a bit higher, but the performance increase is noticeable. Their WP plans include free SSL, SiteLock Security, Advanced CDN, and SiteLock WAF.
Their basic plan is good for up to 100 million visits/month, which is absurdly high (if you know how to build a site like that, hit us up).
For the UK, it's probably not a great choice as they don't have any servers in the country. Also, their reputation has been a bit meh the last few years as they got bought by EIG and support/general quality went downhill… they're recovering now, but it's going to take some time before they can get back to their former glory.
Their hosting plans start at $19.99/mo.
WordPress hosting features: CDN, WAF firewall by SiteLock, advanced security, high visits/mo limit.

Their basic plan comes with an amazing 97-day money-back guarantee, free SSL, free whois privacy, and 24/7 WordPress expert support. They actually have two types of WordPress hosting plans, one is on shared hosting, the other ones are on cloud servers (called DreamPress), which give a considerable increase in performance. They're definitely a step up from the basic plan, and offers a host of additional WP features like server-level caching and instant upgrades.
No servers in the UK though…

Researching The Best UK WordPress Hosting Companies
Individuals and businesses alike have discovered the ease and beauty of using WordPress for their websites and blogs. Its versatility and quality have made it ideal, whether for individuals who just want to keep their own blog and improve their personal brand or for even medium-sized businesses doing e-commerce.
If you are an individual or business looking to create your own website, you might currently be overwhelmed by all of the options out there and may not understand the difference between a web design tool (or CMS) and a website host. It's quite important to not only understand the difference but know what to look for in a good host, since poor web hosting can nullify the snappiest of websites.
Here, we will review WordPress itself, and WordPress hosting, ultimately with the goal of helping you find the best UK web hosting. We've also done these WP comparisons for other countries, like WordPress hosting Australia, Melhor Hospedagem WordPress Brasil, Mejor Hosting WordPress Espa?a, and WordPress hosting Canada.
Free VS Paid WordPress Hosting
First, what we don't mean by WordPress Hosting: WordPress.com offers users free WordPress hosting to extremely simplistic WordPress websites. This is not recommended, as it does not provide the features or expertise you need to have a professional website that provides excellent service and strong web presence. So, unless you are just blogging for kicks and giggles, do not use wordpress.com for hosting.
What we do mean by WordPress hosting is rather simple: it means finding your own hosting service and having them host your WordPress site for you. Really, all hosting services are capable of hosting a WordPress website, so you won't necessarily find hosting services saying that they only host WordPress, or services saying they don't have the capabilities for WordPress.
However, while all services can pretty much host a WordPress site, some are most certainly better at it than others. When looking for a hosting service, it is certainly worth your time and effort to find one of these, as they will have WordPress specific assistance that can truly make a difference. They can offer anything from super easy installation to WordPress specific tech support, tools, etc. But more on that later.
A final note about what WordPress hosting is: while you can get hosting for WordPress on shared, dedicated, and/or VPS servers (also don't forget about the more expensive managed WordPress hosting), for our current purposes, we will stick to discussing the ins and outs of the best shared hosting services for WordPress.
Shared hosting is by and large the most common for folks using WordPress, and something as complex and costly as a dedicated server or even VPS servers are most relevant to those with large corporations. Shared hosting simply means that you are sharing a server with other websites, which will cut down on the cost.
A good hosting service will know how to limit the number of sites on one server so that you should not experience any negative consequences for using a shared server.
Pros & Cons of Shared WordPress Hosting
When weighing your options for the type of hosting to pursue, you, of course, want to know what the pros and cons are. As mentioned above, we have decided to focus on shared hosting for WordPress here, but there are certainly a variety of other types.
So, what are the pros and cons specifically of shared WordPress hosting?
- Very affordable/cheap
- Perfect for small to medium-sized businesses
- Perfect for those new to creating and managing a website
- A shared host is not limited to only WordPress
- Limitless plugins
- Super easy installation and customization with the cPanel
- A shared server does mean sharing resources with other websites on that server
- If other websites on the server hog all the resources, it could make your site slow
- You may have less specialized tech support (however, as hinted at above, if you search right, this shouldn't be a problem)
All of that said, if you know how to search for and identify a quality host, then even a shared hosting plan can be free of some of the cons listed above.
So, how do you identify the best WordPress hosting in the UK? Well…
WordPress Hosting Features To Review
If you insist on waiting to find a hosting service with the following key features, then you should be well on your way to a very satisfactory experience with a shared hosting service for WordPress.
While it should be remembered that you will get what you pay for, we also want to encourage you that you can still find quality hosting with these features without breaking the bank.?On that note, here are the features you absolutely need to look into to find the right host:
Single-click or Pre-install WordPress option
The best WordPress hosting services will absolutely have either single-click installation of WordPress available through the cPanel or will offer pre-installation of WordPress when you purchase their services, some even have an existing library of business WordPress themes, real estate WP themes, WordPress themes for photographers, and more.
There are too many great hosting services out there that offer this option, so you should absolutely not settle for anything less than single-click install. It will make the process much easier for you, and mean you are pretty much ready to start making your website immediately upon purchasing the service.
Customer Support
Often too easy to overlook, but vitally important is customer support. Especially if this is your first time making a website, you will need the support. Even if it is not your first time, because errors and downtime could mean customers (and thus revenue) lost, you don't want to be left to figure out kinks yourself.
Good hosting services will offer 24/7 support, often through multiple avenues such as online chat as well as phone support. Don't settle for anything less. You will also want to, of course, find a hosting service that mentions it offers WordPress specific expertise. Check out reviews of the services you are considering to make sure their customers can attest to their quality of customer support.
Server Location
It is important to the speed and quality of your website that your host server is located somewhere near your location. We don't mean in the same city or even in the UK, necessarily, but it does need to be on this side of the world, and the nearer, the better your WordPress site will work. So avoid hosting services that are across the ocean, such as the United States, for example.
One caveat to this, though, is that you could find a hosting service who has multiple data centres across the country and/or globe. If that is the case, check to make sure you can choose the data centre closest to you.
The speed (or lack of it) will play a huge role in your users' satisfaction with the site and can impact how well your site does and thus revenue you make. So speed is obviously important. Many hosting services offer things like SSDs (solid state disks) and/or CDN (content delivery network), which can significantly improve loading speed, for free. It is worth looking for a service that offers these.
Server Uptime
There is no reason to settle for a hosting service with a server uptime record of less than 99.9%. All of the best ones can offer that while still being incredibly economical. The best way to really check their track record is going through Google to look up the stats on companies; don't just take their word for it.
Bandwidth & Data Transfer
Many hosting services will claim to offer unlimited bandwidth or storage. While this is attractive, it could mean that they are overloading their servers, so the quality and speed may be poor. Really, 2Gb should be sufficient for most, and most servers will be able to provide more than you could want. Again, this would be a good thing to focus on when reading customer reviews. Additionally, if you plan to have a lot of site downloads for your site visitors (mp3, pdfs, etc), it is important for you to keep an eye on data transfer limits as well.
Free Domain registrations + Add-on domains
All good hosting services will provide you with a domain for free as part of your package, so definitely do not settle for less. Furthermore, though you will not likely need it as you begin your online business or website, in the future you may want multiple domains and sites. It is good to check to see if you are allowed to have more than one WordPress site per account. Many offer multiple and even unlimited domains.
Backups are extremely important and will save you a lot of heartache (no one wants to lose hours' worth of effort). Check to see if the service offers automatic backups and how frequently (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).
Finally, whether blogging or running an online shop, you want a secure WordPress site. To ensure this, look for services that promise frequent software updates and who may even offer 24/7 security monitoring. Some hosts include intense levels of security while others allow you to choose varying levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which hosting is best for WordPress, Linux or Windows?
We recommend Linux hosting to run WordPress, for the vast majority of cases. While you can run WordPress on Windows hosting, Windows hosting is more expensive generally.
Can I use WordPress without hosting?
Technically no, WordPress needs to be hosted somewhere, but if you don't want to set up your own hosting, or sign up with a hosting provider, you can go to wordpress.com and get started with a free account. That way you can use WordPress for free without having to worry about hosting it, they do everything for you.
Does WordPress have free hosting?
Yes, WordPress does have free hosting if you use WordPress.com (not to be confused with the wordpress.org version for which you need to find your own host and install it). If you sign up for a free account with wordpress.com, you can use a limited version of WordPress on a subdomain.
What is the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
The major difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org is who is hosting the website. If you use wordpress.org, you need to download and install WordPress on the wordpress host of your choice. If you use wordpress.com, they host the installation for you, and you can even do it all for free, though the version of WP you're working with is limited when it comes to design and features.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD or MOD) is the British government department responsible for implementing the defence policy set by Her Majesty's Government and is the headquarters of the British Armed Forces.
The MOD states that its principal objectives are to defend the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and its interests and to strengthen international peace and stability.[3] With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, the MOD does not foresee any short-term conventional military threat; rather, it has identified weapons of mass destruction, international terrorism, and failed and failing states as the overriding threats to Britain's interests.[4] The MOD also manages day-to-day running of the armed forces, contingency planning and defence procurement.
During the 1920s and 1930s, British civil servants and politicians, looking back at the performance of the state during World War I, concluded that there was a need for greater co-ordination between the three services that made up the armed forces of the United Kingdom—the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force. The formation of a united ministry of defence was rejected by David Lloyd George's coalition government in 1921; but the Chiefs of Staff Committee was formed in 1923, for the purposes of inter-service co-ordination. As rearmament became a concern during the 1930s, Stanley Baldwin created the position of Minister for Co-ordination of Defence. Lord Chatfield held the post until the fall of Neville Chamberlain's government in 1940; his success was limited by his lack of control over the existing Service departments and his limited political influence.
Winston Churchill, on forming his government in 1940, created the office of Minister of Defence to exercise ministerial control over the Chiefs of Staff Committee and to co-ordinate defence matters. The post was held by the Prime Minister of the day until Clement Attlee's government introduced the Ministry of Defence Act of 1946. The new ministry was headed by a Minister of Defence who possessed a seat in the Cabinet. The three existing service Ministers—the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Secretary of State for War and the Secretary of State for Air—remained in direct operational control of their respective services, but ceased to attend Cabinet.
From 1946 to 1964 five Departments of State did the work of the modern Ministry of Defence: the Admiralty, the War Office, the Air Ministry, the Ministry of Aviation, and an earlier form of the Ministry of Defence. These departments merged in 1964; the defence functions of the Ministry of Aviation Supply merged into the Ministry of Defence in 1971.[5]

The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS) is the professional head of the British Armed Forces and the most senior uniformed military adviser to the Secretary of State for Defence and the Prime Minister.
The CDS is supported by the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff (VCDS) who deputises and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the armed services aspect of the MOD through the Central Staff, working closely alongside the Permanent Secretary. They are joined by the professional heads of the three British armed services (Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force) and the Commander of Joint Forces Command. All personnel sit at OF-9 rank in the NATO rank system.[8]
Together the Chiefs of Staff form the Chiefs of Staff Committee with responsibility for providing advice on operational military matters and the preparation and conduct of military operations.
The current Chiefs of Staff are as follows.[9]
The Chief of Staff is supported by several other senior military personnel at OF-8 rank.[8]
Additionally, there are a number of Assistant Chiefs of Defence Staff, including the Assistant Chief of the Defence Staff (Reserves and Cadets) and the Defence Services Secretary in the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom, who is also the Assistant Chief of Defence Staff (Personnel).[10]
The Ministers and Chiefs of the Defence Staff are supported by several civilian, scientific and professional military advisors. The Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Defence (generally known as the Permanent Secretary) is the senior civil servant at the MOD. Their role is to ensure that it operates effectively as a government department and has responsibility for the strategy, performance, reform, organisation and the finances of the MOD.[11] The role works closely with the Chief of the Defence Staff in leading the organisation and supporting Ministers in the conduct of business in the Department across the full range of responsibilities.
The 1998 Strategic Defence Review and the 2003 Delivering Security in a Changing World white paper outlined the following posture for the British Armed Forces –
The MOD has since been regarded as a leader in elaborating the post-Cold War organising concept of "defence diplomacy".[12][13][14] As a result of the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron signed a 50-year treaty with French President Nicolas Sarkozy that would have the two countries co-operate intensively in military matters.[15] The UK is establishing air and naval bases in the Persian Gulf, located in the UAE and Bahrain.[16][17][18] A presence in Oman is also being considered.[19]
The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 included £178 billion investment in new equipment and capabilities.[20][21] The review set a defence policy with four primary missions for the Armed Forces:[22]
The review stated the Armed Forces will also contribute to the government's response to crises by being prepared to:[22]
Following the end of the Cold War, the threat of direct conventional military confrontation with other states has been replaced by terrorism. In 2009, Sir Richard Dannatt, then head of the British Army, predicted British forces to be involved in combating "predatory non-state actors" for the foreseeable future, in what he called an "era of persistent conflict". He told the Chatham House think tank that the fight against al-Qaeda and other militant Islamist groups was "probably the fight of our generation".[23]
Dannatt criticised a remnant "Cold War mentality", with military expenditures based on retaining a capability against a direct conventional strategic threat;[23][24] He said currently only 10% of the MOD's equipment programme budget between 2003 and 2018 was to be invested in the "land environment" – at a time when Britain was engaged in land–based wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.[23]
The Defence Committee – Third Report "Defence Equipment 2009"[25] cites an article from the Financial Times website[26] stating that the Chief of Defence Materiel, General Sir Kevin O'Donoghue, had instructed staff within Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) through an internal memorandum to re-prioritise the approvals process to focus on supporting current operations over the next three years; deterrence related programmes; those that reflect defence obligations both contractual or international; and those where production contracts are already signed. The report also cites concerns over potential cuts in the defence science and technology research budget; implications of inappropriate estimation of Defence Inflation within budgetary processes; underfunding in the Equipment Programme; and a general concern over striking the appropriate balance over a short-term focus (Current Operations) and long-term consequences of failure to invest in the delivery of future UK defence capabilities on future combatants and campaigns.[25] The then Secretary of State for Defence, Bob Ainsworth MP, reinforced this re-prioritisation of focus on current operations and had not ruled out "major shifts" in defence spending.[27] In the same article, the First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, acknowledged that there was not enough money within the defence budget and it is preparing itself for tough decisions and the potential for cutbacks.[27] According to figures published by the London Evening Standard the defence budget for 2009 is "more than 10% overspent" (figures cannot be verified) and the paper states that this had caused Gordon Brown to say that the defence spending must be cut.[28] The MOD has been investing in IT to cut costs and improve services for its personnel.[29][30][31] As of 2017 there is concern that defence spending may be insufficient to meet defence needs.[32]
Defence is governed and managed by several committees committee.
The following organisations come under the control of the MOD.[34][35]
Top level budgets
The MOD comprises seven top-level budgets. The head of each organisation is personally accountable for the performance and outputs of their particular organisation.
Bespoke trading entity
Executive agencies
Executive non-departmental public bodies
Advisory non-departmental public bodies
Ad-hoc advisory group
Other bodies
Public corporations
Support organisation
In addition, the MOD is responsible for the administration of the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus.[37]
The Ministry of Defence is one of the United Kingdom's largest landowners, owning 227,300 hectares of land and foreshore (either freehold or leasehold) at April 2014, which was valued at "about £20 billion". The MOD also has "rights of access" to a further 222,000 hectares. In total, this is about 1.8% of the UK land mass. The total annual cost to support the defence estate is "in excess of £3.3 billion".[38]
The defence estate is divided as training areas & ranges (84.0%), research & development (5.4%), airfields (3.4%), barracks & camps (2.5%), storage & supply depots (1.6%), and other (3.0%).[38] These are largely managed by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation.
The headquarters of the MOD are in Whitehall and is known as MOD Main Building. This structure is neoclassical in style and was originally built between 1938 and 1959 to designs by Vincent Harris to house the Air Ministry and the Board of Trade. A major refurbishment of the building was completed under a Private Finance Initiative contract by Skanska in 2004.[39] The northern entrance in Horse Guards Avenue is flanked by two monumental statues, Earth and Water, by Charles Wheeler. Opposite stands the Gurkha Monument, sculpted by Philip Jackson and unveiled in 1997 by Queen Elizabeth II. Within it is the Victoria Cross and George Cross Memorial, and nearby are memorials to the Fleet Air Arm and RAF (to its east, facing the riverside).
Henry VIII's wine cellar at the Palace of Whitehall, built in 1514–1516 for Cardinal Wolsey, is in the basement of Main Building, and is used for entertainment. The entire vaulted brick structure of the cellar was encased in steel and concrete and relocated nine feet to the west and nearly 19 feet (5.8 m) deeper in 1949, when construction was resumed at the site after World War II. This was carried out without any significant damage to the structure.[40]
The most notable fraud conviction has been that of Gordon Foxley, Director of Ammunition Procurement at the Ministry of Defence from 1981 to 1984. Police claimed he received at least £3.5m in total in corrupt payments, such as substantial bribes from overseas arms contractors aiming to influence the allocation of contracts.[41]
A government report covered by The Guardian newspaper in 2002 indicated that between 1940 and 1979, the Ministry of Defence "turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public" and many of these tests "involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swathes of the population without the public being told."[42] The Ministry of Defence claims that these trials were to simulate germ warfare and that the tests were harmless. However, families who have been in the area of many of the tests are experiencing children with birth defects and physical and mental handicaps and many are asking for a public inquiry. The report estimated these tests affected millions of people, including during one period between 1961 and 1968 where "more than a million people along the south coast of England, from Torquay to the New Forest, were exposed to bacteria including e.coli and bacillus globigii, which mimics anthrax." Two scientists commissioned by the Ministry of Defence stated that these trials posed no risk to the public. This was confirmed by Sue Ellison, a representative of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down who said that the results from these trials "will save lives, should the country or our forces face an attack by chemical and biological weapons." Asked whether such tests are still being carried out, she said: "It is not our policy to discuss ongoing research." It is unknown whether or not the harmlessness of the trials was known at the time of their occurrence.[citation needed]
|...the most incompetent procurement of all time...might as well have bought eight turkeys.
The MOD was criticised for spending £240m on eight Boeing Chinook HC3 helicopters which only started to enter service in 2010, many years after they were ordered in 1995 and delivered in 2001.[44] A National Audit Office report reveals that the helicopters have been stored in air conditioned hangars in Britain since their 2001[why?] delivery, while troops in Afghanistan have been forced to rely on helicopters which are flying with safety faults.[45] By the time the Chinooks are airworthy, the total cost of the project could be as much as £500m.[44]
In April 2008, a £90m contract was signed with Boeing for a "quick fix" solution, so they could fly by 2010: QinetiQ would downgrade the Chinooks—stripping out some of their more advanced equipment.[43]
In October 2009, the MOD was heavily criticized for withdrawing the bi-annual non-operational training £20m budget for the volunteer Territorial Army (TA), ending all non-operational training for 6 months until April 2010. The government eventually backed down and restored the funding. The TA provides a small percentage of the UK's operational troops. Its members train on weekly evenings and monthly weekends, as well as two-week exercises generally annually and occasionally bi-annually for troops doing other courses. The cuts would have meant a significant loss of personnel and would have had adverse effects on recruitment.[46]
In 2013 it was found that the Ministry of Defence had overspent on its equipment budget by £6.5bn on orders that could take up to 39 years to fulfil. The Ministry of Defence has been criticised in the past for poor management and financial control, investing in projects that have taken up to 10 and even as much as 15 years to be delivered.[47]

Lüme is a wearable tech collection (actually absolutely wearable!) which integrates illuminated embellishments elements customizable and controlled from a smartphone via a dedicated app.
The garment color changes depending on the event, location, mood, or even just to match another garment or accessory
The color of the illumination can be changed and the garments also can respond to sound, if the user wants to select this option within the phone application. According to the designers, Elizabeth and Luis Fraguada, "The initial objective for the collection was to create a series of garments that could adapt to the users daily life, changing in color depending on the event, location, mood, or even just to match another garment or accessory".
A true blend of fashion and technology
The design and engineering of the collection is focused on the integration of electronics in such a way that they could be easily removed or embedded when desired, thus creating pieces that are easy to wash and care for. The laser cut piece within each garment can also be customized, to another pattern (other than damask pattern), such as polka dots, flowers, lines, etc. The entire mini collection when the electronics are not utilized, are simple black everyday garments, giving the wearer multi-use garments, for multiple looks.
Lüme won the Jury Prize in the Aesthetic Category at the 17th International Symposium on Wearable Computers

Where was it found?
The large open space of Palace Green was once occupied by houses. It was probably the market place of the early settlement of Durham. All this was swept away by Ranulph Flambard, Prince Bishop of Durham between 1099 and 1128, so that, as one chronicler put it, 'the church should neither be endangered by fire nor polluted by filth'. The effect of Flambard's work was to create a grand 'Place' (the name was later corrupted to 'Palace') between the Bishop's Castle and the Cathedral, and this has remained a dramatic open space ever since.

Bishop Flambard also built the first defensive walls around the medieval city. The Castle and Cathedral, Palace Green and all of its surrounding buildings lay within the greater Castle grounds which covered an area of about 11.3 hectares or 28 acres. The walls, which followed the top of the slope rising up from the river banks, could be entered through several gates. To the west of the Cathedral was a small gate or 'postern' still known as 'the Dark Entry' and to the north there was another called 'Windishole Gate', very probably at Windy Gap, the narrow alleyway which runs immediately to the south of the excavation site. You can pick this out on the photograph above. Importantly for our story, this alleyway defines the boundary between the Cathedral and the Castle.

The later arrangement of buildings around the findspot can be explored in detail on historic maps. These sources help to chart the changing topography of Palace Green.
Of particular importance is the plan made by Thomas Forster in 1754 (below) which shows the outlines of buildings such as the Bishop's Exchequer (to the left of number 75 on Forster's plan) which has stood outside the Castle's outer gate since the 1440s.
Extract from Thomas Forster's 1754 map of Durham, showing: the Castle at the top (north), the Cathedral at the bottom (south), the zigzag block of stable buildings used by the Bishop and his household, and the garden to the west of the site of the burials (red circle) © Durham University Library: reference DUL NSR Planfile C 19/1.
The medieval Castle wall ran to the west of the present Fellows' Garden (number 76) and down the west side of the excavation area. Forster's map also depicts the courtyard (number 78) in front of the Bishop's stables which had evidently been constructed by the mid-18th century. The stable immediately east of the excavation site is the South Stable. The building to the west (left here) of the number 73 was the Registry for the diocese. You can just make out a line of little squares along the pavement outside which is where the columns for its porticoed frontage once stood. These buildings and structures, and their appearance on this map, were later to provide crucial clues to dating the human remains.
From the 1754 map it can be deduced that the burials discovered in November 2013 were dug in a marginal area which was enclosed but not very much overlooked. Clearly, the discovery was not made in the Cathedral graveyard but within the former grounds of Durham Castle, and about as far from the main residential buildings as it is possible to get.
