May is here which means Mothers Day (May 12th) is right around the corner. Gift ideas of chocolates and flowers will most likely be the first thing on our minds but these cliche' gifts may not impress our moms quite so much. I think a day dedicated to moms is so nice as I am one myself and I know how much hard work goes into it every single day. My mom for example is an extremely hardworking mom and she cares so much about each one of us every day. Obviously I think she deserves a great deal of recognition for all that she does. My idea of a perfect mothers day would be to spend it with my adorable son doing something we love to do together. Hopefully my list of items here will help you out in finding the perfect gift for that special women in your life in time for this mothers day! These are all things I would honestly love receiving myself so I think I can safely say this will double as my May wish list too! I've chosen things from different categories and price ranges so there should definitely be something to suit every budget and taste.
What are you giving your mom this year? No matter what you give her- an e-card, a hug or a phone call to say you love her- it'll be the best gift she's ever received since it's from you!
If you are a mom then I hope this day will be super special for you in every way! And if you are on the search for a gift for a very lovely mom out there then I hope my gift guide has been extremely useful to you!
Got a great gift idea?! Leave it in the comments form below..I'm sure it'll be useful to everyone and I love to hear your recommendations!

UK negotiators must adopt a more consensual approach. But time is running out.
Voters in France, Britain and the United States have had enough. They don't like how politics is done in their respective countries but their solutions are very different. In the UK and the USA, we see regressive hankering after, supposedly "glory days". The United Kingdom still apparently yearns for an empire, when Britain ruled the waves and held sway over large parts of the globe and won two world wars.
There are many reasons why the new French President Emmanuel Macron was able to win a ground-breaking victory while the Anglo-Saxons seem unable to climb out of their self-imposed bunker. The UK and USA majoritarian, first past the post electoral systems will almost always lead to confrontational politics. In contrast, a proportional, multi-party system may encourage consensus building. Since parties cannot annihilate each other in the same was as they are able to in majoritarian elections, they must find other ways of operating. This could be called kinder, gentler politics. It's also far more efficient as business is conducted by negotiation rather than being decided on the basis of who shouts loudest, and Theresa May must learn that art, and do so quickly.
The European Parliament is one of the best examples of a legislature where consensual politics is the way business is done. A chamber at present still comprising 28 member states will obviously function differently from one concerning an individual nation state. Nevertheless, the European Parliament is very much based on the way legislatures work in other European countries. The 751 MEPs form eight political groups spanning the political spectrum from hard left to ultra-right with two main groups, one centre-right and the other centre-left.
While elements of the British tabloid press loved this, the Europeans were acutely embarrassed. It did nothing to enhance Britain's standing.
This unshowy way of doing politics extends to European Parliament committee meetings. Legislation is taken forward by one MEP from the committee leading on the issue. Known as the rapporteur, this person is the lynch-pin as far as the report is concerned. It's a very important role which is generally carried out in consultation with the shadow rapporteurs (like the lead minority member in the US Congress) appointed by the other political groups. The aim is to reach agreement by discussion and negotiation. Amendment to the report will, of course, be debated and voted on in the committee and finally in the plenary session of the European Parliament, but only after avenues for agreement have been exhausted.
There are some rather sweet touches to all of this. When a report goes through committee, for example, it is customary to thank the rapporteur and applaud them for their effort.
Even though the positions of chair and vice-chair of European Parliament committees are always hotly contested there are sometimes agreements that two members of the same political group will share the position, In this scenario, each member would hold the post for half of the Parliament's five-year mandate. I am currently experiencing this in my role as vice-chair of the Women's Rights and Gender Equality committee.
Ultimately it is about MEPs respecting each other, both as individuals and for their views.
It is a problem for the UK that May has no concept of Brussels and how business is conducted there. She probably has not had to finesse the art of negotiation in her previous portfolios. Consequently, her autocratic approach is particularly at odds with how business is conducted in the three EU primary institutions. It's not a problem exclusive to May. The Conservatives have an ingrained problem when it comes to comprehending the way politics is conducted in Brussels. We know that from David Cameron who was clumsy at best, both when he sought a renegotiated deal prior to the referendum with the European Union and when he tried to block Jean-Claude Juncker's appointment as President of the European Commission. The only renegotiation he obtained was a fig leaf and he returned pretending that he had achieved substantial concessions.
As she advances with the Brexit negotiations Theresa May must learn that to get what she, and Britain, wants she must be more in tune with the European way of doing things. She should always remember that there are 27 of them and only one of us. Compromise is second nature to almost all of the Europeans in their own state legislatures. When their Leaders are in the various EU ministerial councils, their compromising tendencies are amplified. Inevitably they react badly to what they see as bullying and bad behaviour. It is not too late for a Prime Minister elected on 8 June to find another way of doing things.
However, a British change of heart must not be left too much later than that. If Britain is to leave the European Union we need the best possible deal. Bluster and insults never achieve anything in Europe.
Mary Honeyball is the Labour MEP London and is the vice chair of the of the women and gender equality committee in the EU. She is Labour's spokesperson for women and equality in Europe.

Teaching Digital Humanities in Romania
Mădălina Nicolaescu, University of Bucharest
Adriana Mihai, University of Bucharest
In their article "Teaching Digital Humanities in Romania" Mădălina Nicolaescu and Adriana Mihai describe a research project that sets out to promote digital humanities with an internet based platform in Shakespeare studies at the University of Bucharest. Texts have been collected and catalogued and the platform's technical construction is in construction. Based on the Shakespeare platform's content and presentation, Nicolaescu and Mihai propose participation strategies for involvement in the creation of a digital database that is both a research tool and a digital storytelling environment. The database is a collection of digitized translations of Shakespeare in Romanian followed by participants' input in the form of critical and creative work which allows users to interact in the platform, expand its metadata, and produce multilinear narratives of interpretation.

Hence this topic remains to be very a lot underneath dialogue, and should you be competing professionally then it is best to verify earlier than using this or any sports nutrition complement, just to verify. The difficult factor about carbohydrates and endurance performance is discovering out the optimum quantity to ingest, which is a extremely individual process. Endurance athletes can meet their every day protein want in the event that they incorporate top quality protein sources as 10-15% of their daily power intake.
The very first thing to grasp concerning the nutritional/complement wants of endurance athletes is that they're essentially completely different to these of strength/power athletes. Active recovery refers to partaking in low-depth exercise after exercises throughout each the cool-down section immediately after a tough effort or exercise in addition to in the course of the days following the exercise.
Join STACK MVP and gain on the spot FREE access to sources that have helped hundreds of thousands of people bounce greater, run faster, get stronger, eat smarter and play better. The Marc Pro affords the Athlete a Low depth" muscle exercise, solely the athlete can accomplish this at home, in travel, at a resort or while watching TV. We're additionally Australia's largest on-line bodybuilding and sports activities supplement superstore so no matter products you are after, we've almost definitely got them. Endurance Company coaches and partners are carefully chosen to provide quality coaching, teaching, info, and advice. This is true in lengthy endurance bouts (> 2 hours) as well as brief (~1 hour) greater intensity endurance bouts. Moreover, there are particular varieties of carbohydrate supplements that have been proven to be superior for glycogen replenishment.
The specific particulars of how whey protein hydrolysate can improve endurance diversifications are coated intimately in our article entitled ' Post Workout Nutrition for Recovery '. Suffice to say that in comparison with carbohydrate only, consumption of whey protein hydrolysate and carbohydrate ends in better glycogen storage following intense exercise4, 5. What's extra, continued use of whey protein hydrolysate over weeks and months can lead to more environment friendly use of carbohydrate throughout exercise6.
Even though the literature is fairly consistent in stating that BCAA/protein supplementation does not improve an acute bout of exercise (one session only), I suspect that we WOULD see efficiency improvements if endurance athletes integrated a high-quality BCAA/protein supplementation regiment of their training protocol.

Vyacheslav Vladimirovich Shalygin () is a Russian science fiction writer, born in 1968 in Novosibirsk where he still lives.

Biography

Shalygin was drafted into the Soviet Army in 1986 after only one year in a medical school. He left the army in 1988 at the rank of starshina and finished the medical school in 1993. He started writing fiction in 1998 and the following year his first book was published.

List of works
Eye of the Peacock ("Глаз Павлина") series
Eye of the Peacock – Darwin was wrong, as Dandy and Eric, employees of an unusual detective agency, have discovered - among our ancestors were werewolves and Atlanteans... Both races carefully protect the secrets of their ancient civilizations and meddle in human affairs only when absolutely necessary. One of these moments have arrived: the existence of the three races is threatened by an unknown force. This means that Dandy and Eric, who already have a full plate, have even more work to do.
Import of Justice ("Импорт правосудия") – apparently, Earth is not only the human homeworld but also of two others: Atlanteans, vague mentions of whom have been preserved in ancient manuscripts, and man-wolves, known to us through the scary stories about insidious werewolves. Private investigators Eric and Dandy know firsthand that there is truth in every story - it was them who were previously involved in a bitter struggle for the legacy of the ancient races. A year passed after those events, but, so far, nobody has been able to locate the Projector. Now, there is a new misfortune - Creatures from beyond the Edge, sentient beings of pure energy. The way to combat them is written on a scroll, one half of which is owned by the wolves, and the other - by the Atlanteans.
Falcon ("Сокол") series
The Hunt for Falcon ("Охота на Сокола") – the soldiers fell, cut down by the hail of bullets from his machinegun, and Sasha finally understood the main thing - he became a killer... Only several hours ago he turned from a simple scientist into the carrier of the mysterious "Falcon", giving him supernatural abilities. Now Sasha can control the electronic "seine" which enmeshed the entire planet. However, there turned out to be too many of those who wish to possess such might. Absolute power over the world drew the competition - the "Reds", the "Blacks",  and the "Whites". All government "agencies" were full of double- and triple-agents. Sasha became the target of a true manhunt. The most terrible thing, however, is that one of the groups decided to use his wife and child as bait.
Dr. Falcon ("Dr. Сокол")
Falcon's Mission ("Миссия Сокола")
Falcon's Fury ("Ярость Сокола")
Path from the Skies ("Путь с небес") – the interests of the ruler of Callisto, Knyaz Sergey Preobrazhensky, never went far beyond the moons of Jupiter... well, maximum - the Solar System. Fate arrive to the knyaz in the form of a strange Chinese merchant, who predicted the appearance of a mysterious Boundary in deep space, which led to the destruction of many inhabited worlds. Sergey became involved in cruel games of the Firstborn. He must fight those who tries to free the multidimensional Universe from the presence of humans at any cost.
No Future ("Будущего.net") (net means no in Russian) – it is difficult to be a chosen one. Especially when you do not know who or why chose you and what awaits beyond the multitude of incredible adventures into which you were dragged... Security Lieutenant Vladimir Volkov with each step kept feeling more and more how the Noose of Time, dividing the fates of two parallel worlds, tightened itself around his neck. In one of the worlds, reality strangely interwove itself with virtual reality, and the price of failure in a computer game was real death. The other world was not much better - it was in the middle of a nuclear winter. The masters of that world were mutants, who wanted to own Future itself, leaving normal humans only one right - to become a food source.
Aquarius Rising ("Восход Водолея") – what was on the strange tape, which several government agencies were looking for? Who ripped apart the terrorists who hijacked a plane? Cyborgs? But who controls them and, more importantly, how?.. In these disturbing times, it is as if nature went insane - earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods followed one another. Perhaps, this severe universal wisdom was trying to save humanity from itself.
The Enemy Inside ("Враг внутри")
Blood of the Titans ("Кровь титанов") – the existence of the race of Titans - wise supermen and great Warriors, created in Earth laboratories as a result of genetic experimentation, is threatened. Their comrades, killed in battles past, somehow returned with their spaceships, attack and defeat their former colleagues. Pilot-Titan Aleksey Turkin must engage in a crucial battle with invincible invisibles and uncover the dreadful secrets of mighty races.
The Fall of the "Galaxy" ("Падение «Галактики»") – in the middle of an interplanetary plot known by a significant name "Galaxy" and additional threat was thoroughly concealed. This threat was a thousand times more terrible - an alien. The conspirators themselves were only pawns in the insidious game of the envoy from other worlds. However, even the heartless monsters, who sent him to the human sector of space in preparation for an invasion, were panically afraid of others following in their wake. Humanity defends its right to remain itself through incredible battles and agonizing meditations.
Legacy of Others ("Чужое наследие")
Exam for Humanoids ("Экзамен для гуманоидов") – not only mafia is immortal but also intelligence. Especially planetary intelligence, the agents of which attempt to defuse the powder keg of a new space conflict without revealing themselves. This is especially important when the enemies are the arrogant and numerous nomads-amoebas, who couldn't care less about the galactic laws and the wild, backward planet Earth. When it is time to stop hiding, weapons of the spies become ordinary laser rifles, their allies - space marines-traders, and the language of interstellar communication - the sound of bullets striking an armored suit.
Our Purple Brothers ("Наши фиолетовые братья")
Immortality of the Mercenary ("Бессмертие наемника") – they always have been and always will be. They were sent to the most deadly places, but they always came back. They were blamed for the stupidity of generals and miscalculations of politicians, and their victories were appropriated by others. They have never known glory but were always attracted to gold. They are the mercenaries. Let them be despised and accused of all deadly sins, but, whether it is under the walls of Troy or at the edge of the galaxy, they remain true to their unwritten code of honor. That is why they are immortal, because, if necessary, they are capable of travelling through time... as long as there is a reward!
Future Dream ("Сон грядущий")
Cure for Happiness ("Лекарство от счастья")
The Fight with the Shadow ("Бой с тенью")
Iron City ("Железный город")
The Fifth Galactic War ("Пятая космическая")
War for the Revival ("Война за возрождение")
Fire, Vodka, and Copper Corpses ("Огонь, водка и медные трупы")
The Best Defense ("Лучшая защита")
Looking through the Sun ("Взгляд сквозь Солнце")
Mad Dog ("Бешеный пес")

Let's recreate this model now using JAGS.
First, we'll need to load the rjags library.
And we'll specify the hierarchical form of the model, let's call this mod1.
There will be several different models.
So let's number this one and we're going to start with the model string.
fill in the different pieces.
Let's start with the likelihood for i in 1:n the length of the data.
Where the mean is mu[i], we'll specify what that is in a moment.
And precision, we'll call it P-R-E-C for now.
Now we need to add the linear model part of this.
the ith value of the log income.
the mean comes from our linear model of log_income.
We now need to give a prior for these coefficients.
We'll start another loop for j in 1:2, because they're two coefficients.
With let's say mean 0 and a variance 1 million.
the non-informative prior model we fit earlier.
Remember, we have to enter it as a precision for the normal distribution.
So this will be 1 divided by the variance of 1.0 times 10 to the 6th power.
on the precision which is the reciprocal of the variance.
So let's put the prior directly on the precision.
Precision will come from a gamma distribution.
the JAGS manual, under the chapter on distributions.
To remind ourselves how JAGS parameterizes these distributions.
In this case, it is the same as with R.
The first parameter for the gamma distribution is a shape.
And the second parameter is a rate.
the prior in terms of a prior sample size and a prior guess.
We'll use a prior sample size of 5.
And recall we have to divide it by 2 to turn it into the gamma parameter.
let's say it's 10, and divide that also by 2.
this rate parameter is equivalent.
this as the scale parameter.
which is equal to 1 over the precision.
because we gave a prior to the precision.
sigma squared, the inverse gamma we've been talking about.
So instead of a distribution here, we give it an equals.
This is a deterministic relationship between the precision, and the variance.
deviation instead of the variance.
which is just the square root of the variance.
the likelihood of the data.
down here we have the prior for the left over, or the unaccounted for variants.
JAGS requires that we put this in a string.
So I'll put these between quotation marks.
And now we need to set up the model.
First, let's set the random seed.
And we'll tell it what the data are.
to be a list where we named our variable y in the model.
So we have to give it y down here.
dat$loginfant as our response variable.
n is the number of rows in the dat dataset.
And, we also created a variable here called log_income.
So we need to give it the exact same name down here, log_income.
That's how we specified it in the data set.
beta one and beta two.
And since they were specified and indexed together as a vector I can just call it b.
the variance, or the standard deviation from the likelihood.
Let's just look at the standard deviation.
this goes in as a function that creates a list.
We'll give an initial value for the beta coefficients.
So, let's draw two random normals.
and variance or standard deviation, 100.
For initial value of the precision, let's draw from a gamma distribution.
We only need one draw.
And let's just give it, Shape 1 and rate 1.
That's actually an exponential distribution.
given initial values for the different parameters.
a textConnection with mod1 string.
mod1_string that we just specified.
We'll use the initial values from our function inits1.
And let's say we want to run three different chains.
That's another option to write into this jags.model function.
We want it to run three separate chains.
In each chain it'll initialize the chain with these random draws.
So we'll have different starting values for each chain.
We'll initialize the model by running all of this code.
the model for, let's say, 1,000 iterations.
So it ran the model for 1,000 iterations but it didn't keep the samples.
posterior simulation that we're going to keep for model inference.
Mod1_sim is what we'll name it.
It will come from coda.samples.
We're going to create coda.samples from the model.
are the parameters that we created.
And we'll run this for let's say 5,000 iterations.
We'll run this line to run the model.
sometimes it's useful to combine them into one chain.
So we'll call that mod1_csim for combined simulation.
Inside mod1.sim the simulations are stored as matrices.
To do this we need to use the do.call function in R and rbind.
Remember we used cbind earlier to combine matrices along the columns.


23 July 2010 –Rates began the week coming off the lowest mortgage rates we have seen to date, so things could not have gotten much better. Economic news was generally favorable with good earnings data for many companies across several industries, which helped equities markets. This had an adverse effect on mortgage rates to the frustration of any fence-sitters out there who were hoping for that elusive sub-4% 30-year fixed rate mortgage. Luckily the was a counter-balance in the form of comments by Fed Chairman Bernanke that there were no plans for further stimulus and that inflation could be an issue at some point in the future. This threw a bit of water on Wall Street's scorching hot gains and reduced any rate increases to a couple basis points.
For those floating a mortgage rate in a current transaction or considering applying for a loan, vigilance and realistic expectations are key. Although we will see rates bounce back and forth around a low mean, I would recommend anyone waiting to act. When rates do finally go up for good, it will likely happen fairly rapidly. It is my firm belief that regret over getting 0.125% above the actual bottom is better than regret over 0.5% above the actual bottom.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Discussion (SPOILERS)
So this premiered.
I'm not watching, but if even half of what Doomcock is saying about it is true, I already know enough to never watch.
It's much better than Family Guy, but that's not saying much. Not good enough to overcome the crass language for me.
CBS put the first episode on YouTube. I won't watch it, but if any of you feel like some torture...
evay
But if you put the hammer in an elevator...
Location: Deck Four, Section Seven
I'm torn. The first episode was... okay. The second and third were a bit better. The crassness is a lot — the show feels like a parody of itself. There's so much humor to be explored without the drunkenness and assholishness. I don't understand why that's the direction they chose to go.

I think they're going in a Rick and Morty-type direction. Weird choice, but hey it's funny.
The joke at the end of episode three is probably the best of the whole series so far.
Episode four was pretty all right. Punishing someone by promoting them is a clever premise.
Doomcock/Overlord DVD Star Trek Playlist
Lower Decks and Picard reviews, etc.
Just the titles of those videos turned me off of watching them.
Pretty sure the guy behind the show is the . . . individual responsible for Family Guy.
Really all you need to know there.

Doomcock celebrates Star Trek Day by talking about what Star Trek means to him.
He turns down the bile and sarcasm for this one, although it's still there. Like I said, I don't agree with everything he says or how he chooses to say it, but I think he deserves a chance. At least he has reasons for his bile and explains why things don't work. He doesn't resort to "it's different from what I want it to be, therefore it's awful!" I know that eventually I'll have to do an episode-by-episode autopsy of Enterprise, but I hope to be as logical when I get to it.
As for his video titles, chalk that up to having to work within the YouTube algorithm to get views. As Agent K put it, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." I didn't even enjoy Men in Black that much and I remember that line. It's sad when you think about it.
All right, so the season ended, and I honestly have to say they did a great job at the end. Also, seeing Riker and Troi on the Titan was a treat.
yes, this definitely improved as the season went along, and the last two hit it out of the park. For me it got better because they were focusing more on Trek-related humor and multiple Easter eggs than "hurr hurr bodily fluids are funny."
So far as I can find out, Seth MacFarlane has nothing to do with Lower Decks; he's busy with The Orville.
This is the showrunner. As you can see, he's never touched Family Guy or any other Seth MacFarlane affiliated work... other than Star Trek, since Seth himself was an engineer in ENT for two episodes.
Give it a chance, and if you get past the first few episodes it's really good - unfortunately some of the later stuff doesn't make much sense unless you watch the first four episodes - considering how Mariner deconstructs herself in the second-to-last episode while also paying homage to Star Trek VI is quite entertaining.


Famous Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau's social media accounts – Twitter, Instagram and Facebook have been inundated with comments and reactions over the past three days.
This was informed by the photo posted by the screen diva's on her timeline, which exposed parts of her upper body.
Captioned 'unapologetic powerful woman', the upper part of her body was revealed in the accompanying photo. This has generated mixed reaction, especially as a result of her cultural background as a northern Muslim with stringent dressing code for women.
According to Islamic teachings, it is prohibitive of a woman of Sadau's age to dress in a manner that reveals part of her upper body.
Some of the followers of the multi-talented Kannywood/Nollywood actress considered her action as an affront to Islamic culture, calling her to amend her ways.
However, this is not the first time that Rahama would be involved in controversies since she started her acting career years ago.
It could be recalled that Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (MOPPAN) on October 2nd, 2016 suspended the actress for similar offence following what it termed indecent appearance in a Hausa musical video alongside Jos based musician, ClassiQ.
Some fans argued that the controversies surrounding the ban opened new vistas to Sadau's career and exposed her to the global stage. Few days after the ban, she was invited to the United States of America, USA, by one of the world's celebrated artistes, Akon. It was reported that she was featured in a musical video during her stay in US. Upon her return to the country, she was also featured in Nollywood movies and subsequently produced her movie ''Tatoo''.
Abu-huraira , a companion of prophet Muhammad quotes the Prophet as saying; " A women who reveals her body or even wears tight fitting clothes wont come within 500 years of the smell of Jannah." Allah ka bamu ikon gyarawa . Ameen.

Kinyi kyau… Amma a rika duba rayuwa beyond duniya… There is the real life that which is eternal… Do no get carried away by the worldly vanity….. Best wishes @Rahma_sadau.

Man, teenage nephew killed in fire as others jump to safety
July 28, 2020 GMT
ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Family members are mourning the deaths of a man and his teenage nephew after fire swept through a three-story home in eastern Pennsylvania, killing the two and injuring others.
Fire crews called to the Allentown home at about 11:30 a.m. Monday reported that flames had spread through the residence and several people were forced to jump from a second-floor window.
The Lehigh County coroner's office said Tuesday 14-year-old Andres Ortiz died of thermal injuries with smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide while 44-year-old Heriberto Santiago died of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide. Both deaths were ruled accidental.
Wehr said it wasn't immediately clear where the fire originated or how it started, although it didn't appear suspicious. A connected home was left with fire, smoke and water damage. Three firefighters were treated for heat exhaustion.
Jose Ortiz, a cousin, told The (Allentown) Morning Call that Santiago had moved to Allentown from Florida about a year ago and worked in a warehouse as a forklift driver. He said the teen enjoyed playing basketball and would attach small motors to bicycles to zip around the neighborhood.


Which cloud hosting provider is the best option out there? When you look at infrastructure-as-a-service companies, you will find that the public cloud offered through Atlantic.Net is stronger than those of major competitors including AWS, Digital Ocean, Linode, and Rackspace.
Every cloud provider out there wants to differentiate itself from the competition. The fact is that some companies try to outperform their rivals primarily through branding and becoming a recognized name rather than by developing a truly higher-quality product. That is why you see a lot of disappointment in many cloud hosting reviews.
This article is an effort to show you the features that we have so you can compare cloud hosting providers with as much information as possible. By being as transparent and straightforward as we can with all these parameters, we aim to demonstrate why we believe that we actually do have a superior offering in cloud hosting.
Atlantic.Net offers the following features with our plans, features which – in sum – make us the strongest cloud hosting provider in the world.
Up in 30 seconds: The cloud is fundamentally about speed, so we make sure no one has to wait for their cloud server with deployment in only 30 seconds.
Per-second billing: One way that many companies squeeze more money out of their customers is to look at the most resources that are used in an hour or a minute and charge at that uppermost needed rate for the entire time period. Obviously, that's not fair. We charge based on the amount of resources needed second by second.
Free data transfer: You get unlimited inbound data transfer and up to 7 TB of outbound data transfer included free with your cloud server.
Worldwide cloud distribution: Our data centers are distributed internationally to reduce latency. We have four locations in the United States, one in Canada, one in London, and a new one soon to be opened in Singapore.
Scale-up servers anytime: What about when your cloud server doesn't have enough resources for your project? That's fine: we offer one-click provisioning of additional resources so you immediately have access to the power that you need.
No contract required: We know that one of the main reasons businesses have embraced cloud so emphatically – and continue to rapidly transition systems to public cloud – is because of the agility it allows them as they grow. We don't want to hinder any of the adaptability the cloud allows, so we don't ask you to sign a contract.
Additional IP Addresses: You get one IP per server and can add more as desired.
Optional cPanel & WHM: Many of our users like to work with one of the world's most recognized control panels, cPanel & WHM. You can add this comprehensive administrative tool for just $14.97/month.
Daily backup: Beyond the built-in redundancies, we can back up your servers automatically every day for a small fee.
RAID redundant storage: Although public cloud is often thought of as one monolithic entity, the way that this technology is constructed varies from company to company. At Atlantic.Net, we know that 100% uptime is now an expectation of clients who adopt public cloud, so we use RAID redundant architecture so that your system stays up regardless if individual components malfunction.
Guaranteed CPU Cycles: No one likes to pay for something and then not know if it will be consistently there for them. We guarantee that you will always have access to the CPU cycles designated in your cloud plan. Plus, you can burst to take advantage of additional cycles as available.
RESTful API: Using our RESTful application program interface (API), you can quickly and simply power and scale web apps.
InfiniBand switches: This networking technology offers various advantages over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, including almost no jitter, no loss of packets guaranteed, and dozens of times lower latency.
SSAE 16 data centers: All of our data centers meets the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 16, which establishes strict parameters for "controls at organizations that provide services to user entities when those controls are likely to be relevant to user entities' internal control over financial reporting," according to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
One-click apps: This feature allows you to provision servers with major apps such as WordPress, LAMP, and one click Docker cloud hosting already installed and ready for immediate use.
Windows cloud hosting: It's up to you. We aren't limited to Linux as many cloud providers are.
Ability to post payment in arrears: We take the credit risk and don't make you prepay. What's not to love about that?
24/7/365 live support by phone, live chat, and email: Unlike some providers, we never make you pay for our world-class support, and it's available anytime.
We really do believe that when you compare cloud hosting providers, it's not difficult to figure out which one has the strongest features. A quick look at our competitors will reveal that the Atlantic.Net public cloud hosting solution is stronger than the plans offered at Amazon Web Services, Digital Ocean, Linode, and Rackspace.
Cloud hosting services are only one of our offerings – we also offer dedicated hosting, managed hosting, and HIPAA-compliant cloud storage hosting.


Learn about FFA, SAE projects, Ag History and a brief introduction into: Horticulture (plants); Livestock, Wildlife, Forestry, Ag Shop Skills and Foods.
Students are expected to follow all school rules at all times, regardless if we are in the classroom or at a location off campus.
Students are encouraged to bring a set of "old" clothes to be used as "lab clothes" this semester. Students may "claim" a shelf space to place their belongings in (please remember to occasionally take them home and wash them). It is the individual student's responsibility to bring in these clothes and you are not to borrow or use someone else's belongings. Please remember that students are required to participate in all lab activities!
When completing assignments in class, in labs or even the occasional homework assignment, students are expected to perform task in a timely manner. Failure to do so will be dealt with appropriate consequences. If you have a special need or challenge that needs to be faced, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can make the appropriate arrangements.
Participation with the FFA is highly recommended so that students may be exposed to a wide array of leadership development and educational opportunities outside the classroom. Dues are $15 per year.


My house does not always look the way it does on Instagram. GASP! lol I'm sure you're not shocked. I have two small children, and when they get to playing…. it's tornado time! BUT- I will tell you that I have some tricks up my sleeve to hide all of the clutter and everyday ugly items and just get yourself a little more organized. This will come in handy when someone says "I'm stopping by in a few minutes" and you cheerfully say "OK!" and then rush around the house like a crazy person trying to pick it all up. I'm going to take you room by room and tell you my secrets to a "clean" and well styled home.
Tip 2: Hide the ugly and/or gross. No one wants to see your toilet brush. I hide mine behind the toilet, kind of tucked into the corner. They also sell pretty toilet brush holders, but it's still a toilet brush. Hide it. This goes for plungers too. We are lucky and have a garage, so we keep ours in a bucket out there. If you don't have a garage, try to move it to a closet or laundry space where guests don't have to see it. Plungers have been where no man wants to go. Keep them out of sight if possible.
Tip 3: Buy some pretty bottles for your shampoo, conditioner and hand soap. We have a couple pretty bottles in our shower and then we do have our body wash sitting out. But, it looks a lot prettier to have less store packaging showing in the shower. For hand soap, I buy a pretty glass bottle and then keep refilling it with this one. Smells so yummy.
Tip 4: Use baskets- use them to store your extra toilet paper, extra towels… whatever you can hide in a pretty basket or container- do it. Baskets rule when it comes to keeping the clutter out of eyesight.
Tip 1: Baskets. (Yup, again) We use a large basket in our bedroom to hold some of my many throw pillows and any extra bags etc that may otherwise find a home on the floor. In a kid's space, baskets are awesome for throwing loose toys inside when you need to clean up in a hurry. I try not to have the girls keep toys in their room (books and stuffed animals are ok but the rest has a home in the playroom) but their toys always find a way in there anyway. That's where a big empty basket comes in handy. Scoop and dump. Done.
Tip 3: Hooks on the wall. If you know you always have hats and bags that end up on the floor or dresser, hang a set of cute hooks on the wall to make it look like you meant to not walk the extra 10 feet to put them away in the closet. LOL But seriously, hooks give you a chance to make some "art" happen on your wall with cute bags, jackets, hats, etc.
Next is the queen of clutter, the kitchen.
Tip 1: Use trays. I love the look of a cute tray on the counter or island that holds salt and pepper shakers, olive oil, candles etc. It's the same principal as in the bathroom- trays make clutter on the counter seem purposeful and cute. I currently use two. One by the stove and one on the island to hold all of my candles.
Tip 2: Cute sponge container. I love to use a cute container, like a ceramic berry bowl, to hold sponges in. It takes them off of the counter and is a chance to display a cute ceramic. You can also buy pretty dish brushes with wooden handles vs the ultra bright ones. If there is a stylish option that's a few more dollars- go for it. Those little details really do elevate your kitchen.
Tip 3: Nice soap dispenser. I do the same thing out here as in the bathroom. I buy a pretty soap pump and then refill it with inexpensive soap. You can get a pretty color to match your decor or opt for clear or an amber bottle. Either way, it looks a lot cuter than a plastic bottle with a brand logo sitting out.
Tip 4: Crocks, lidded jars, and containers. Buy pretty items to store your kitchen items when you can. I love a pretty crock for wooden spoons. My bread tin is one of my favorite kitchen decor items. I keep my tea bags in a cute tin, sugar in a lidded jar, etc. SO many items can all be kept in a pretty container vs sitting out on the counter or hidden away in a cabinet.
Tip 5: Basket or bowl "catch-all" In every kitchen I style, I add an empty basket or bowl of some sort on the counter. Why? Because we ALL throw random stuff onto our countertops. This way, its all in one little area and it just makes it appear we have our act together when we clearly do not. Ha!
Tip 1: You guessed it- baskets and containers. This time I'm talking small. You need a place to put your dryer lint, dryer sheets, and also another basket for loose items.
And finally… The living room.
Tip 1: Lidded box(es). I love using a lidded box to hide remotes and any other small items you might have laying around. It's not like its a huge deal to see someone's remote, but when all you see is a pretty, well styled coffee table… its niiiiice.
Tip 2: Do I even need to say it? Baskets. LOL I use baskets in a living room or family room to hold blankets, toys, or just anything you need to get off the floor in a hurry. Basically, baskets are the stylish person's way to throw all the junk into a pile until you actually have time to REALLY clean.
So that's it! Hopefully you took away at least one thing you hadn't thought of to keep your home more organized and styled on a daily basis. So… who's ready for a pop in?!
