At the end of a beautiful peninsular, with its Genovese tower keeping watch, Villa U Tramontu is a wonderful family home with spectacular sea and mountain views on the glorious west coast of Corsica.
Just under an hour south of Ajaccio, once you have arrived it will be hard to leave. This is the owner's home away from home; their oasis to escape to with family and friends to mingle, relax and spend quality time together. There are five spacious bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathrooms and some with glorious sea-views as you step out to the lower terrace, plus a small single room if needed. The living space on the upper floor enjoys spectacular vistas of the sea and gardens, and leads straight out onto a spacious terrace; a wonderful spot for morning coffee or an evening with family or friends under the starry sky.
Yet it's the gardens, terraces and heated swimming pool that will overwhelm you with their beauty and their conviviality. The bright gardens are full of Mediterranean delights with terracotta pots filled with geraniums, overhanging bougainvillea and hydrangeas bursting with colour. The infinity swimming pool is an oasis of calm as you gaze out over to the sea and long leisurely lunches can be enjoyed in the shade of the poolside pergola. On a clear day you can see most of Corsica's majestic peaks, including Monte Cinto, the highest mountain in Corsica. As the evening approaches, take a chilled glass of wine to the decked outdoor lounge and watch the dazzling sun set over the sea, after all 'U Tramontu' is Corsican for sunset.
You can wander down to the sea, just 300m away, where you will be able to swim from the rocks into the clear blue water. There are some lovely sandy beaches within a short drive, such as Portiglio beach (3.5km) with its brilliant watersports instructor or the picturesque Mare e Sole beach, perfectly sheltered from the wind and a wonderful place for paddling and swimming.
All along this coastline you can seek out magical white sandy beaches, some with some amazing fish restaurants, many accessible only by foot or boat. Indeed, this region is a hiker's delight with amazing walks for all abilities through the sweet scented maquis with idyllic views of the sea and mountains.
It's no wonder Corsica is known as ''L'Île de Beauté' with its white sandy beaches, cascading streams and breath-taking valleys with mountain villages. Head north to Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, to experience the charm of the region's capital or follow the winding roads south to timeless villages such as Olmeto and Sartène.
Dine in some fabulous restaurants across the region, whether it's the nearby relaxed pizzeria or delicious Corsican cuisine, such as wild boar and chestnuts, in more refined surroundings. Yet with the dazzling vistas of mountains and sea from the terraces, infinity pool and gardens, it will be hard to tear yourself away from this unique and charming home.

LocationAbout the surrounding area of Villa U Tramontu
Corsica is known as the ''Île de Beauté' with good reason, with hundreds of white sandy beaches and coves, cascading streams and waterfalls, fresh water pools and beautiful villages in the spectacular mountains. Villa U Tramontu is located in the bay of Ajaccio, one of the most attractive parts of the Corsican coastline.
Just 45 minutes south of Ajaccio Airport (32km), on the Cap de La Castagne, this villa enjoys extraordinary sea-views and magical sunsets. The villa is in a privately accessed residential area with other attractive villas dotted around, each one with their own privacy facing the sea and mountains. The area is quiet, yet there is plenty to do nearby if you wish to get out and explore. On a clear day you can see some of Corsica's highest peaks, including Monte Cinto, the highest mountain in Corsica.
You can walk about 300m down to some rocks which you can swim from or the lovely Portigliolo beach (3.5km) is just five minutes by car, with a great year round watersports instructor plus equipment and boat hire. The idyllic Mare e Sole beach (9km), perfectly sheltered from the wind, is ideal for paddling and swimming in the clear blue waters. All along this scenic coastline you will find wonderful white sandy beaches, some only accessible by boat or foot. This region is very popular with hikers, there are some wonderful walks to suit all abilities.
Dine at Chez Mico (3km) with its lovely garden and tennis courts, a particularly nice place for families with its relaxed atmosphere or head up the coast to the famous La Bergerie (12km) for refined cooking in a sublime setting. There are also stunning fish restaurants right on the beach in this area, again often only accessible by foot, boat or 4x4 where you are rewarded by amazing fresh food in idyllic settings.
There is a mini-market within a few minutes by car or you can head up to the seaside resort of Porticcio (18km) for a greater choice of shops and larger supermarkets.
Head north to visit the island's capital, Ajaccio (36km) in just over an hour and visit the city's art galleries, markets, fantastic restaurants and hang out in the wide-open squares facing the sea. This is of course the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte and you can visit his childhood home. If you are feeling really adventurous you can take the charming train from Ajaccio to Corte for the day, passing incredible scenery as it winds through the forests and mountains, a spectacular and relaxing way to see the interior of this amazing island.
Alternatively, following the winding roads south to discover some beautiful villages such as Olmeto (42km) with its timeless charm and mountain scenery or Sartène (55km), a picturesque and unspoilt town steeped in tradition with a fascinating history, wonderful wines and more spectacular valley views.

Best Villa Ever!
Our two week stay in this house was wonderful. Our group consisted of four adults and three children ages 6, 4 and 1. The setting is lovely. The property is attractively landscaped, and the multitude of porches and terraces provide space for everyone to sit and relax in peace! The view could not be better, and we spent quite a few days and nights enjoying it. The owner was as responsive and responsible as any I've ever experienced before (and I've rented 14 houses in the last 7 years). When we had difficulty finding the house (and conversing with the French caretaker) the owner's daughter made all the necessary calls to get everything in order. A small problem with the dishwasher was dealt with immediately. The owner is definitely on top of things and takes good care of the house. The bedrooms are simply furnished but the house in general feels extremely comfort-able. The bathrooms are nice, clean and bright, the kitchen is well kitted out and there are pool toys available for the kids. There are ample beach towels and bath towels and paper towels for that matter!! This is not a house where the owner leaves you with one roll of toilet paper and says, 'good luck'. You will have every-thing you need. We were pleased to find that the house is quite child friendly. The main living areas are on a different level from the pool, so the kids could play on the porch off the living room while we cooked dinner and we knew that there were gates and doors preventing them from getting down into the pool area. The house is on an attractive peninsula overlooking the harbor. There are several nearby beaches to choose from, some within walking distance, but we especially liked one that was a 15-minute drive away and had good restaurants, perfect white sand, chairs to rent and shallow blue water. Given the challenging, twisty roads between the house and the nearest towns.... we tended to stay in at night and cook our own meals, but there are some nice restaurants within a 30-minute drive. We did not use the single bedroom downstairs, but I feel I should mention that it is very small. Overall, we loved our time in this home. I use the word 'home' because unlike many rental houses, this one feels as though it is lovingly cared for and used on a regular basis by its owners. I recommend this home highly.
Great Fiftieth Birthday!
I recently celebrated my fiftieth birthday holiday at this villa. We had eleven adults, in all, filling the 6 bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms face the beautiful Mediterranean with views of the city of Ajaccio and the mountain ranges beyond. There were no complaints from those in the back bedrooms, who enjoyed late morning rises, undisturbed by the rest of the guests. The villa itself is situated on a hillside with views on three sides. A heated pool seamlessly melds the picturesque landscape with the beautifully landscaped yard and terrace. The well-appointed kitchen allowed us to enjoy many of our meals at home at one of four dining areas both inside and out. There is a banquet-seating corner on the upper terrace that was perfect for sunset happy hours or early morning coffee and croissants. There wasn't a time of day or night when the view was any less than stunning. It was also only a quick walk down to a great swimming cove amongst the impressive boulders that made up the shoreline. The owners were very accommodating and helpful with suggestions to make the best of our experience on Corsica. I would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a special destination for a special holiday.
Our two week stay at Villa U Tramontu was an absolute dream; I could not be more enthusiastic in recommending this home to anyone looking to spend their vacation in a veritable paradise. We were 2 couples, 3 children and 1 grandparent, and booked an 'off-season' holiday at the end of September. Not long after our arrival we realised a major perk of booking "off season": uncrowded beaches with absolutely perfect summer weather! Villa U Tramontu's spectacular ocean-view infinity pool is surrounded by lounge-chairs and palm trees and bordered by a lush garden... good luck ever tearing yourself away. I should also mention that this lavish pool area is accessible by both the main living quarters of the house and by the bedrooms, which we found extremely convenient for our kids and elderly grandparent. Pool amenities also include a shaded lounge and dining area (also with an Ocean view), a barbecue, outdoor refrigerator, pool toys and floats, and easy access to a downstairs kitchenette. The grounds at the front of the house include a lush garden, an elevated hammock-hideaway in a quiet shady corner, and an outdoor eating area punctuated by a lovely little fountain. The bedrooms are attractively furnished, comfortable and very clean. Five out of six have full attached bathrooms. All bedrooms are equipped with WiFi and air conditioning, as is the main area of the house. The upstairs living/dining/den areas are elegant yet cosy at the same time, and the entire back "wall" of this floor is com-posed of large sliding glass doors that open onto a beautiful terrace running the length of the entire villa. There is a dining area and lounge on this upper terrace as well! The kitchen has every piece of equipment you can think of. The owners of this home are easily reached and are very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be booking again, and I encourage anyone interested in perfection to do the same!

Risk-based Assessment Of Climate Change Impact On Storm Drainage System

Climate change impacts on engineering infrastructures are increasing. The infrastructures are expected to withstand more frequent and severe weather events, more climate variability, and changes in climate norms (average conditions). It is anticipated that many civil infrastructure systems such as storm drainage, will fail to meet the expected environmental pressures. Therefore, it is important to identify current and future risks; to develop strategies for adapting such risks; and to implement an effective maintenance plan. In the study, the climate change impacts on storm drainage were investigated, particularly in Southport, Queensland, Australia. The historical rainfall data for 120 years were analysed to identify the changes in the trends, patterns and frequencies of rainfall. The peak flow in a flooding event was identified. The investigation provides essential information for the vulnerability to risk failure of the existing storm drainage system, such as at a critical pipe failure point. Finally, the research applied a risk-based vulnerability assessment by risk analysis and management quantification tools to quantify the impact that rainfall may induce through storm drainage failure. Keywords: storm drainage, climate change, risk assessment, event tree analysis. 1 Introduction Due to increased and more intense Climate Change (CC), engineering structures are increasingly forced to withstand more frequent and extreme weather events, more climate variability, and changes in climate norms (average conditions). Numerous changes have already occurred, such as the increase in the global mean temperature and the sea level rise. These changes, projected to worsen over time, will impact on civil infrastructure systems, such as storm drainage, in

You got the gym membership, you got the new shoes, made the awesome playlist, you went for a week or two, and that was it. I see a lot of people have epiphany's all of sudden wanting to get in shape but they don't follow through. So why is there all this gym hype but no muscle being built and no calories being burnt? I believe the reasons people stop hitting the gym are because they either get discouraged by everyone that's already in shape, they don't see progress fast enough, or they simply just lack motivation. If you're one the many who started working out only to quit a couple days later, let's find out why and start getting in shape for real this time.
You get ready for the gym, you walk in ready to kick ass, and all of a sudden you feel unmotivated and kinda discouraged by everyone in there. It happened to me when I started and I think it's a very common gym problem.
For me it's always been about gaining weight, losing the spaghetti arms, and being able to fill in shirts. While today I'm proud to say I've gotten bigger and filling in clothes better I haven't forgotten what it's like to start hitting the gym. I remember struggling when it came to curling 15 pound dumbbells or not being able to bench press a fourth of what all these huge dudes were lifting,and just wanting to quit. It's a shitty feeling realizing how much weaker we are than these people but we can never forget that the dude benching three plates and the chick with the perfectly toned legs started out just like you and didn't get there by quitting. I started to realize that these people should be used as inspiration and not discouragement. You can't get all negative and upset with yourself because you need to realize everyone was a beginner at one point; no one is a pro from day one. Also realize that pushing yourself to your limits is the same thing as the ripped dude or girl hitting their limits. No guy gets swole in one day and no girl get's the perfect body in one day either, remember that.
BOOM! The first day you leave the gym drenched in sweat and can barely walk. The second day you do the same and you feel on top the world but a couple days later you're walking out earlier and not feeling that same pump. Without motivation getting in shape is very hard to accomplish.
We all naturally start something with the end in sight, and in order to successfully get where we want be physically it is absolutely necessary that we do this. Everyday when you get to the gym you have to know exactly what you want to get from it. It's entirely up to you how intense it will be and how well you use your time there. Either you walk on the treadmill while texting your buddies or you push yourself to your limits and get it done. What always works for me is envisioning everything that I'm going to do when I'm at the gym throughout the whole day. I prepare myself mentally everyday before I hit the gym, I know what I'm going to do. When I'm getting near my last minutes of cardio or have 3 reps left I remind myself how bad I want these results, and how this is only getting me closer to them. Whether it's looking at pictures of fitness models, watching YouTube videos, or keeping a chart of the progress your're making, it is imperative that you find a source of motivation. Those weights aren't going to lift themselves.
"Bro, I've been hitting the gym for a whole month and I don't see results, wtf." You know you've heard this or said it before, and I don't blame you. We start working out because we're not happy with how we look and we want change NOW. You jog 6 miles a day or lift weights for 2 hours everyday for a whole month and you see no results. It's understandable that this could be annoying and make us want to quit but if you get past this stage I doubt you'll ever stop working out. Once I started seeing results I gained a huge a boost of confidence and motivation. I felt like if I didn't go the gym all the hard work I put in to get here would be wasted. When it comes to fitness you need to realize that results won't come fast, but if you keep working hard they will without a doubt come. I can't tell you how long it will take to see them, but always keep in mind "anything easy to accomplish is probably not worth much."

It was so easy that it was almost no fun at all. The way that they cried out for mercy, for a release that he wasn't inclined in the least to give them, it was nearly boring. The only saving grace was all the energy that he was gaining from the group.
They had been sent to kill him; to wipe his very existence off the face of the Earth and to take his head to their employer. Ironically enough, it had been his human father to hire them.
"My, my, what did this lot do?" His gaze rose from the writhing bodies on his living room floor to his unexpected guest for the evening. Most of his guests were meals, his regulars, or his illustrious creator but this one didn't fit into any of the categories.
Then again, he also didn't associate with the walking Sins very often. And Madness was not his choice of companion in the least; or at least this half wasn't. Lyssa's twin brother was far easier to deal with.
"They came for my head." Bast smiled charmingly, stepping over the unfortunate souls to take Lyssa's jacket and escort her to the couch. With a chaste kiss to the back of her hand, he returned to his chair. "I am but introducing them to the pleasures of the flesh like they've never known."
Lyssa's wild eyes watched the humans long enough that she missed the way that Bast licked his lips. Pure, wild power was the only way he could describe the essence of this female. As the truly insane half of the Sin Madness, Lyssa was a bomb with a short fuse. He couldn't get a good read on her emotions or her current state and that put him on edge.
Her less than civil moments were infamous among the demons of hell.
"Is it not customary for such pets to be given release?" Bast found it hard to imagine the slip of a woman in front of him was truly a Sin in the flesh what with the way she tilted her head and gave him a look of such childlike curiosity. Deva did warn him that the Sins were unpredictable to the core.
"It is their punishment for being so bold as to enter my humble abode with the intent to harm." His gray eyes flickered away from her ever changing eyes down to the humans. They'd been begging for release for about an hour now. So long as he dragged it out, the more of their energy he could steal before he truly made a meal of them. "May I inquire as to why you have graced me with your exquisite presence?"
In the span of mere moments, the child in Lyssa was gone and it was replaced with a dangerous being of the like that Bast had never come to face with before. It was all in the eyes and the way that she shifted, like a predator eyeing its prey.
"I did not come here to play with you Germaine," Lyssa all but purred, her tone drifting from curious to an undiscernible tone in mere seconds. "I have been sent by my brother."
"As humbled as I am by his interest, I am currently a one gender incubus my dear." Though it had not occurred to him to try to test his gifts on a Sin, she had brought up an interesting topic. What exactly would have happened if she had been here to play?
Her dark laughter, tinged with the Insanity that was her nature, sent involuntary shivers up his spine. That was not a laugh that would bode well for any in her path.
"Crevan is as asexual as they come, do not fret baby incubus." Much to his annoyance and to Lyssa's growing amusement, his brow twitched at the name. Though he was the youngest incubus on record at the moment, he was far from a babe. "No, we have a job for you. Actually, we wanted Deva but she's difficult to find so we settled for her protégé."
With good reason, he mused to himself. This was the type of guest that Deva typically wanted to avoid. If not for the mark on his bicep that Deva had left, he would have trouble finding her himself.
"I reserve the right to refuse such an offer, don't I?" Though he doubted there was truly an option in the matter, he preferred his limits laid out plainly on the table when dealing with a being that could destroy him without much effort.
"Do you wish to keep your head on your shoulders?" That was enough of an answer and Bast put on his best school boy smile that he could manage. It was hard to look like a school boy with blue hair and piercings.
"Then what can I do for you gorgeous? What could the twins of Madness want from little ole' me?" Flirting hadn't failed him before and it didn't fail him now. Though the colors and emotions present in Lyssa's eyes were ever changing, he caught the approval.
"Your task is simple enough. There is a pair of souls that we require in a certain state." Bast wasn't quite sure about taking any sort of job from Madness but she had piqued his interest. There were a variety of ways to prepare a soul to be stolen but that was well within her, and her brother's power.
It was as if she could read his mind. She rose like a jaguar before settling in his lap and pressing him back into the chair. "Sadly enough, I lack the patience for such a task and Crevan refuses. We need these souls driven to the precipice of Insanity by pleasure, much like you're doing to these three."
Bast didn't dare look downwards towards the humans that she was referring to. To break eye contact would be to submit and he didn't believe in giving in so easily. Not even to Lyssa.
"I assume these are very specific souls or you would demand two at random." True to his nature, his fingers danced slowly up her back and over her shoulder. With Madness in his lap, there was no predicting what his actions could do. She could feel jilted if he did not try anything at all, something that could very well be bad for his health, or she could become infuriated by his audacity and he'd still be screwed.
Since he was not yet in excruciating pain, he assumed that it was the former that was true. Still, he kept his pheromones in check and kept his touches to bodily safe zones. There was no true understanding of Madness.
"Correct. We have specifics souls we need." She hummed, her slender fingers tangling in his hair. With a forceful pull, she wretched his head back and bared his throat to her. Bast kept his breathing even and waited for her next move. Leaning forward, she murmured the last of her instructions in his ear before topping it off with a threat. "Fail us, and your mind shall be shattered so thoroughly that not even the Angels could piece it back together again. You'll be our toy in the Twisted Kingdom."
"I understand completely."
"Good." She released his hair and pushed away from him. This time he did not stand to show her out and instead watched her movements carefully. For one that was the least rational of Madness, she was more coherent than he ever expected. Once her coat was back on, she glanced over her shoulder one last time. "We expect a report in a week."
Bast waited until she was gone to rub his forehead and sighed. This was probably one of the most dangerous things he'd ever been entangled with; and he'd slept with the half demon huntress that had a grudge against all demonkind.
A tug on his pant leg drew him from explicit memories about that lovely tryst and he glanced down. The human had become so desperate that she had crawled her way to him to beg for his touch. He still wasn't inclined to oblige but after his visit with Lyssa, he was rather famished.
With a kick, he removed the offending appendage from his person just as his skin began to darken. Though he much preferred the human guise while hunting, the true form of Incubi and Succubi were truly a thing to behold; his one of the most magnificent if he did say so himself.
As dark colored horns curled from his cranium, his lips twisted into a wicked grin. A three course meal and then he'd get to work. With any luck, he'd get this new mission done before the report was due.
The Requester for this FR piece was Maura. ^_^ She wanted more Bast so I gave it to her. I might sneak in a few more of him but shhh, don't tell her.

Burretti's otherworldly gender-bending costumes were way ahead of their time amid the homophobia of the 1970s. What a fantastic career he had. I wish I could say

I'm seriously a bad blogger. I say I want to blog more and I have the time to do it most of the time but then I just… I just get cold feet and I search desperately for what else to do. I don't even deserve to have subscribers to be honest. To be actually honest.
But I'm grateful… to my subscribers… to actually subscribe to a messed up, contradictory, lazy person who is English but cannot sepak English to save her life and would rather spend her time singing (screaming) in Japanese and having no consideration for my neighbours… yeah.
This morning I woke up and I did normal Saturday things like eat breakfast, read a book, watch TV and do my chores- all the things I normally do till 1 o'clock when my computer comes on (damn parent control). But when I turned on my computer, I didn't feel like doing revision, or doing my homework which is just half an exam question. I didn't even feel like watching anime or reading manga (I know, it's like I'm a different person!) Instead I thought about myself. I'm not vein. Or at least I don't think I'm vein. I was just thinking about myself, everything that's wrong with me and why I can't make sense of any of it. If I could describe myself in one word, it would be:
I'm generally confused about everything. One thing about me is that recently I've been failing in subjects that I need to read the deeper meaning in. So, basically English. Everyone else sees something in that line of the poem or in the way George defends Lennie. I just don't see it. Subjects like science and maths, I'm good at those because, to me, they're straightforward. But don't get me wrong, they are difficult subjects and quite complex, but, for the things I'm studying at the moment, the answer is always there. You can find the answer using logic. You can go back to the fundamental ideas and work your way up and then you're like "Oh, I get it! No wonder!" I wish solving the problem of myself could be as easy.
I've mentioned before that BPD was, in my opinion, the closest thing to whatever the heck I think is wrong with me, but there are more than a couple flaws in my thinking.
For example, intense interpersonal relationships. I can describe any of my relationships as being intense. I'm not entirely sure what that means. And then fear of abandonment. Sure I don't want to be alone, but I've never told anyone 'don't leave me' and when they do leave I hardly make any effort to bring them back. I just go off on my own and feel bad about it. Or I just go off and not think about it at all. I don't really think I'm close to anyone. I want to be and I am preoccupied thinking of plots to strengthen my relationships or let people know more about me, but in the end I don't put them in action, or I do and they learn something and I regret it EVERY SINGLE TIME.
In fact, I'm not even sure if I care about people. I just think I'm selfish. I think that I use people to feel better about myself or give me confidence to do something I'm scared to do alone, or keep me busy or from feeling embarrassed. Perhaps I cared about Grace. No, I did care about Grace, but I don't care about her now.
I desperately want someone to care about. I desperately want to fall in love and have a mutual relationship, but that would never work not ony because I'm too shy to even speak to a guy, but also because I can't fall in love, because it's not the other person I'll love but I'll love love only and they'll get hurt because I won't love them. I'll love the idea. I'll love the attention. I'll love the support. I'll love not having to be alone ,but I won't love them and that's selfish and horrible and also very sad. Very sad indeed. It upsets me to think about it. I don't even want to post this because I don't want you or whoever else is reading this to know what I'm really like.
I feel like such a bad person.
Thinking this made me research another personality- Schizoid. I thought it sort of matched me before but I dismissed it thinking that I didn't really match the symptoms. But still, I am an introvert, I don't care so much for the people around me but rather items I own which is such a sad and horrible thing, and I have bad, if not no, social skills. I did a test and I don't know what it was out of but I got something like 29 points and it said that it was likely I had it, but I didn't believe it because I've gotten higher scores in BPD tests and I even got a high score for OCPD which I am certain I don't have.
So I'm back to square one. I have no idea what word describes my problems other than 'contradictory'. I watched a 20 minute video on BPD and watched a video about a youtuber talking about being diagnosed with it and going through the symptoms and how they did and (surprisingly) didn't apply to him. He didn't have some of the most obvious symptoms (or so he observed), but one symptom he did have made me think, with some level of certainty, that he did indeed have borderline. Intense relationships. He showed some signs of fear of abandonment, being clingy and kind of obsessive. I don't know much about the disorder despite the fact I've been obsessing over it for quite a while now (over a year, maybe?) but that kind of gave me that borderline feel.
So I'm still stuck looking for the definition of me and a word to nicely describes me without being too vague. You may be thinking why I'm so hung up finding what's wrong with me. The truth is that I honestly don't know. I don't. But I know that I don't have a choice and I have to keep searching or I'll never move on. I'll never sort this out. I know I should just get on with my life and stop thinking about that. I've tried. And I've failed.
Yep, this scientist won't give up until she finds out the fundamental ideas and solves this complex and irritating problem.

The Pärvie fault line
The inland ice cover melted and the Earth trembled.
The Baltic shield is since millions of years a tectonically rather calm area. However, when the latest inland ice retreated from northern Sweden c. 10,000 years ago, crustal tension was released and triggered earthquakes up to M 7–8, faults and hundreds of landslides. Furthermore, theses faults seem to be unique in a global perspective, since no faults of the same magnitude in a corresponding geological environment has been discovered. The Pärvie fault escarpment is 150 kilometres long and usually 5–10 metres high.

Lower School
We introduce technology in the Lower School in ways that allow our youngest students to develop the mental building blocks of creativity, logic, and reasoning. Students come to the computer lab and focus their attention on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) topics such as robotics, programming, and design. Introductory computer skills and robotics instruction start in the Kindergarten with BeeBots. Lower School students continue to explore programming, robotics, and other computer science topics throughout their time in Lower School using Scratch, Lego WeDo, and EV3 robotics kits; Makey Makey; and LittleBits. The Lower School computer science curriculum is designed to introduce students to beginning computer science skills and to build a strong foundation for students as they transition into the Middle School.
Middle School
The Middle School curriculum builds a connection between making, engineering, computer science, and problem solving. In Class V, instruction and project work are designed to bring out the engineer in each girl—starting with robotics and coding and ending with soldering and making a wristwatch. Students are encouraged to make—and embrace—mistakes and to turn them into later success. In Class VI, girls are immersed in the world of circuitry. From learning the basics of a circuit and reading circuit diagrams to building circuits with conductive tape and inventing with Arduino kits, the focus in Class VI is on not being afraid to try something new and different and always looking for ways to create. In Class VII, students learn the art of 3D design, scanning, and printing. From using a Kinect as a gateway to turn the "real" world into a 3D model that can be manipulated to learning how to use one of our two state-of-the-art 3D printers, the focus in Class VII is entrepreneurship and hands-on, immersive learning. All of the skills covered in Middle School come together in Class VIII, where students learn the design thinking method of problem solving. Applying this human-centered approach to confront even the largest and most difficult of problems, students are challenged to bring together engineering, circuitry, and design to solve a variety of challenges, such as making a boat out of cardboard and duct tape that can be navigated across a pool, designing a comfortable outdoor chair inspired by a museum collection, and creating a memorial for a time period studied in history class.
Upper School
In Upper School, our curriculum comes full circle. In the fall semester of Class IX, girls dive deeply into programming, using some of the most widely used languages in the industry—Python, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS—in the Survey of Computer Science course. After learning these languages and the rules that can be applied to any language, students are ready and equipped to solve any problem presented to them and, moreover, are able not just to fix the problems and products of others, but also ready to make something the world has never seen. In the spring of the Class IX year, all students take a culminating Applications of Design Thinking course, where they are challenged to apply all they have learned up to this point in a capstone project. The maker, problem solver, and entrepreneur all come together in a hands-on and self-driven semester-long project that exhibits how students can use their acquired skills to benefit our greater community and world.
The technology curriculum is constantly evolving, and in future years girls in Class X and above will be able to choose to dive deeper into at least one of four tracks—computer scientist, maker, design thinker, or entrepreneur—in order to fine tune their skills in these areas. Our goal is to give Nightingale girls the opportunity to explore many of these areas during their formative years so they will have the knowledge, interest, and desire to become the women who break down the current gender barriers in STEAM-based industries.

August 13 2019
One of the real estate industry's most popular and advanced paperless transaction management solutions, Form Simplicity, recently released its newly redesigned application to more than 200,000 REALTORS nationwide.
The update to Form Simplicity is more than just a designed facelift. The changes improve transaction productivity and speed up agent and broker workflow.
Florida Realtors®, the nation's second-largest Realtor state association that owns and operates Form Simplicity, rolled out the newest version in stages between April and July. Today, 187,000 Realtor members in Florida, 8,300 members of Arkansas Realtors Association, 2,300 members of Wyoming Association of Realtors, 7,300 members of Iowa Association of Realtors, and 10,300 members of Idaho Association of Realtors all have access to the newest version.
A robust transaction management platform, Form Simplicity's Ultimate Edition includes unlimited access to eSign, its highly-secure electronic signature feature, an expanded set of broker management tools to simplify compliance and improve agent-broker workflow, and unlimited document storage.
Form Simplicity's new, uncluttered look includes four key sections in the home page: Menu, Recent Transactions, Upcoming Tasks, and Useful Tools. Among the improvements:
The initial launch has generated an avalanche of positive comments, as it is being incredibly well-received by agents and brokers across the country. The most common observation: it's faster than ever. That's because Form Simplicity is running on a new and modern application architecture, from hardware to software.
Change is never easy, especially when making major changes to something tens of thousands of agents and brokers use every day as the backbone of their business. But rank-in-file agents are expressing their support – and delight.
Matthew Lemons, a South Florida real estate broker, notes that the new Form Simplicity has been a welcome change. "I just tried out the new Form Simplicity style now, and I have to say it is amazing. Love how convenient the new layout is. Extremely professional. I'll be sticking with you guys for a long time," Lemons said.
Satellite Beach, Florida agent Peggy Hall added, "I began using the new and improved Form Simplicity...(it's a) super easy transition!" And Shermeka McSwain, a Cutler Bay, Florida agent said, "The recently updated changes are extremely great. Using the navigation, location of information and the program structure is very user-friendly."
Real estate agents also appreciate what hasn't changed with the new Form Simplicity redesign. All the great features agents and brokers already love remains the same, and the new redesign is giving added attention to how important transaction management is today.
Transaction management is no longer a nice to have but a must-have for real estate agents and brokers. For any transaction management solution to effectively serve the greatest number of agents and brokers possible, it needs to be easy to use and inviting. The redesign of Form Simplicity is all about making it easier to navigate, and making sure that it works on any device, because that's what agents and brokers tell us they want.
Tricia Stamper is Director of Technology at Florida Realtors®, which owns both Tech Helpline and Form Simplicity.

How political votes are transferred into the election of MP's has caused much controversy. The 2015 General Election saw UKIP gain just one seat – despite receiving almost four million votes. This has contributed to calls for Proportional Representation (PR) – an electoral system in which political parties are awarded seats in proportion to the number of votes cast.
Jon Stone of the Independent newspaper conducted research into the amount of seats parties would have gained at the 2017 General Election had the PR system been in place (see chart below).
Mr Winter, Co-Founder and Spokesperson of the cross-party committee Makes Votes Matter, is a firm believer in the system. He said: "The Conservatives' share of the votes increased in comparison to the 2015 General Election, but their share of the votes in parliament decreased.
"More often that not in UK General Elections, under FPTP (First Past The Post) a party that has either experienced this (like in 2015 when the same happened to Labour) or the reverse: losing vote share but gaining seats (like the Conservatives in 1983 and Labour in February 1974). These anomalies won't happen under PR.
"PR would result in a more collaborative, positive politics. It would mean voters being genuinely represented and political parties working together to solve problems. It would also mean politicians having to fight for every single vote, rather than concentrating on the small number of voters living in marginal constituencies.
"Research indicates that PR would have a positive impact on our society in a broad range of ways. PR countries generally have lower income inequality, better environmental protections, more long term policy making and (they are) less likely to go to war."
Making Votes Matter, claim that 68% of votes at the last General Election were 'wasted.' Mr Winter comments: "We mean the sum of the number of votes for defeated candidates, and the number of votes cast for winning candidates above the number they needed to win.
"Wasted votes is a commonly used term in discussing the efficiency of electoral systems. The point being made is that the majority of votes made no practical difference to the electoral outcome.
"We encourage everyone to go out and vote, but unfortunately, we know that many millions of people are left unrepresented by the current system."
As alluded to earlier despite receiving just under 4 million votes at the 2015 General Election, UKIP gained just one seat – a situation Mr Winter called "unacceptable." He stated: "Democrats, whether or not they agree with UKIP, must intend that all voters are properly represented in parliament.
"It isn't only UKIP that are underrepresented by FPTP either. Last month, and in 2015, the Green Party and Liberal Democrats were too.
"Most of all, this fact shows how FPTP stifles choice and harms democracy. The biggest losers from FPTP are voters who struggle to shoehorn their diverse opinions into a political system that cannot cope, leading to a dramatic rise in tactical voting and political disengagement."
FPTP works by electing the candidate with the most votes in each constituency – all other votes are disregarded. Mr Winter adds on this much derided system: "It distorts elections and misrepresents how people vote. FPTP has always been undemocratic, but its performance in the UK general elections has been worsening over time and it's increasingly clear that FPTP fails even on its own terms.
"One of the main selling points of FPTP is that is supposedly provides 'stable' government's with huge majorities. In recent years this has clearly not been the case. At the 2017 General Election, no party won a majority of seats and the Conservatives have been forced to rely on the DUP – a party that won just 0.9% of votes. This means that it is possible for the Conservatives to form a government despite the parties combined receiving only 43% of the vote.
"Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats barely received more MP's than the DUP, despite winning more than eight times as many votes; the Greens have only one MP, despite receiving twice as many votes as the DUP; and UKIP are excluded from the House of Commons entirely, despite receiving twice as many votes as the DUP.
"One of the biggest problems of FPTP is that if you vote for a losing candidate in your local constituency, your vote doesn't influence the final election result. Additionally, if you vote for a candidate that has far more votes than any of their competitors, your vote doesn't influence the result.
"In this way, millions of people have no say on the final result and are locked out of meaningful representation."
Finally, Mr Winter revealed that only Labour and the Conservatives have not made PR official party policy. He said: "Labour is one of only two parties holding Westminster parliamentary seats in Great Britain that hasn't made PR party policy. The other is the Conservative party.
"Despite support from some Conservatives and Conservative Action for Electoral Reform, Labour is much closer to making PR party policy. Whilst maintaining FPTP is official Conservative policy, this isn't the case for Labour.
"If Labour were to back PR, it would almost completely isolate the Conservative party in its opposition to PR. For that reason, it is a top priority for our campaign."

By integrating the requests of their team riders with the demands of their engineers, Ghost have created their most spectacular hardtail ever. The integration of angular shapes and smooth transitions provides additional torsional stiffness, improved stress distribution and a distinctive look.
All cables enter the frame at the head tube and re-emerge appropriately, while the port under the bottom bracket serves both to protect the frame and to provide easy access for maintenance. The chain stay is protected from damage by a specially formed plastic sheath. The disconnect brake mount, an innovative technical feature already proven on the GHOST RIOT, has been redesigned for use on the Lector. In addition to a point on the seat stay, it is mounted directly to the X12 thru-axle and thus maintains perfect alignment with respect to the brake rotor, with the added benefit of helping to transfer braking forces into the axle instead of the carbon of the frame. The geometry has been refined with one goal in mind, better agility and more precise handling. The 31.6mm seat tube diameter also gives you the option of using a dropper seat post, as some on the World Cup now do, letting you ride even more aggressively in technical terrain.
LECTOR is back and killing it.

Will definitely purchase again if I need a three position switch.

Product Customer Reviews
No veo que Decathlon sea un referente o marque la diferencia. Lo económico no suele tener calidad, las prendas de marca demasiado caras para un mayorista como Decathlon, y en las prendas de gana media no hay tallas.
Cintura muy grande
La verdad que por el precio que tienen es muy buena compra, aunque preferiría que la tela fuera un poco más gruesa.
comodas y nose transparentan las braguitas. perfectas
De buena calidad
Quedan bien algo anchas pero mi hija es delgada
Para mi lo veo largo! Mi niño tiene 22 meses y le va largo! Pero ya lo aprovechará!!
Tienen un color muy bonito y el tejido es de muy buena calidad. Pero son algo pequeñas de pierna. Cuesta mucho subirlas, y para niñas tan pequeñas que aún no se saben vestir muy bien solas, hace que sean un tanto incómodas. No creo que la solución sea comprar una talla más, ya que entonces serían larguísimas... Aún así, ya las he lavado varias veces y el resultado es genial.
Bien de talla y buena calidad.
Bien de talla y muy buena calidad.
Muy contenta

text: I know, I know, when you find something so exquisitely rare as a woman with some common sense you have to tell the whole world about her. Thus this link to Rachel Lucas's blog which I discovered yesterday. Here she writes about Obama's foolish black wife and here she writes about people who think useless gifts like diamonds are a sign of true devotion instead of stupidity. Wonderful stuff. Though I have to say I can understand that Obama can't really be blamed for not finding an intelligent black woman to marry and I won't blame him for not stealing a white woman either. After all, if it's so damn hard to find even one smart white woman it must be really damn hard to find a smart black woman. Truly a one in a million chance if not much worse I'd think.

Zi Chen was powerless in this situation, he could only watch helplessly as the fist moved towards Zhang Haotian's head.
The strange thing was, Zhang Haotian, instead of being afraid, was actually smiling, as if he had completely seen through his life and death.
As the fist was about to hit, a sudden green light appeared from above. Moreover, it also arrived in front of Zhang Haotian at an extremely fast speed, and collided with the fist. A deafening explosion instantly rang out.
The small-build disciple that sent out the punch, under the attack of this green light, retreated 7-8 steps directly before he could stabilize himself.
At the same time, a green figure dropped from above. This person looked quite young, his looks were ordinary and his eyes very small. If he was placed in the crowd, he would not attract any attention. He was very ordinary and very average.
But at this moment, nobody dared to underestimate this ordinary person, because he actually blocked a strike from an expert of tenth Zhen Qi Layer, moreover he also forced the other side to retreat.
There was a faint smile on the ordinary face, and then the youth said to the dumbfounded Zi Chen : "I didn't arrive late?"
"You ……!" Zi Chen was unable to describe his current feelings. Was he excited? Happy? Or surprised? But all of these feelings changed into a few words, "Just in time."
"That's good. How should we deal with these small fry?" The youth still smiled faintly, his eyes looked towards the four people, there was only disdain in his eyes.
"Since they are only some small fry, naturally we will kill them." Zi Chen said coldly.
"Alright then." A cold light flashed through the youth's eyes. His figure flashed, he already arrived tens of meters away. He lifted a foot and kicked towards an opponent.
Under the deafening explosion sound, this person was kicked out.
"So strong?" The other three people looked at each other, they saw looks of astonishment in each other's eyes, one kick pushed away an expert at the tenth Zhen Qi Layer, this kind of strength was enough to kill.
"Go, withdraw." Zheng Hua made the decision decisively as he clenched his teeth. And sure enough, he withdrew with the other three people.
"Want to run? Do you think you could just escape without leaving an arm behind?" Zi Chen's voice, containing strong bloodlust, was heard.
"Kill!" Followed after that was Zi Chen's charge. Before, every time Zi Chen's "kill" word was heard, he would charge at the four people, and strike at them.
"Run." This time, Zheng Hua no longer hesitated, his figure dashed toward the distance. After that, the other three people also escaped rapidly without looking back at all.
Zi Chen had just rushed forward two steps when his vision went black, and his body fell downwards. He had reached the limit of his vitality.
The youth moved towards him, and supported Zi Chen one step ahead, "Are you alright?"
Zi Chen had fainted, so he was unable to speak.
"Ai, Why must you fight with your life?" The youth shook his head, then he carried Zi Chen's black sword on his back. As he held Zi Chen with one hand, he jumped and arrived in front of Zhang Haotian, and held him with his other hand. Then his figure flickered several times as he vanished at an extremely fast speed into the forest.
Zheng Hua and the others, ran crazily all the way. They had already run for more than ten miles and then stopped to gasp for breath.
"Damn it, did we meet a monster?" A tenth Zhen Qi Layer expert could not bear it and cursed angrily. At his level of strength, he had been through a lot of big and small fights, there were at least hundreds of them. But a fight where they only attacked and did not defend at all, like today, a fight where you trade one life with another, this was the first time he encountered. Moreover, the even scarier thing was, his side had four people, but they actually could not finish off the opponent that was all alone.
The opposite party was just like an undead.
His body was riddled with scars, but he just wouldn't fall. Each time time he was exhausted, as long as he breathed a few times, he would be bursting with energy again.
"Not good, it looks like we were fooled." Zheng Hua suddenly exclaimed, he seemed to have thought of something.
"What do you mean?" The others were surprised.
"That boy before was only at the seventh Zhen Qi Layer." Zheng Hua said, "His appearance was too shocking, and his movement technique was extremely mysterious, so we neglected his strength. Thin monkey, you were kicked by him, did you suffer any injuries?"
"Ai ya, I really did not suffer any injuries." The thin monkey cried out in alarm.
"Fuck, we have been deceived by them, let's go back." The thin monkey was the first one to stand up.
"Forget it, we have ran so far, the opposite party has probably already ran away. Ah, what a pity….. Just a moment of carelessness, and we actually missed the opportunity to kill two geniuses." Zheng Hua was very frustrated, his eyes were filled with regret.
"What do we do now?"
"Let's restore our injuries first, their injuries are very serious, they won't recover in a short time. After we have recovered, then we will go to kill them again." Zheng Hua said.
"Good, we also have to kill that last kid!"
The others nodded, then each of them found a place and sat cross-legged to heal their injuries.
Zhang Haotian had never admired anyone else before, but after he met Zi Chen, he had already started admiring him.
Not only had Zi Chen saved him, but what he truly admired was the fighting style of Zi Chen, he fought with tooth and nail. Moreover, he almost used his own life to trade with Zheng Hua and the others' lives.
Although Zi Chen was in coma due to his severe injuries, but Zhang Haotian believed that Zheng Hua and the others weren't feeling any better. If they weren't four people, and were instead three, perhaps they would have already died under the fighting method of Zi Chen, that traded his life with theirs.
A mere eighth Zhen Qi Layer has the strength to kill three tenth Zhen Qi Layers, Zhang Haotian admitted that he doesn't have that kind of strength.
Before, he considered himself to be fierce, but after he saw Zi Chen's fighting style, he had no choice but to admit that Zi Chen was far more fierce than him.
Zi Chen was unconscious, and Zhang Haotian was seriously injured, the youth ran while carrying two people. Even though he was carrying two people, his speed did not decrease.
After half an hour, the unconscious Zi Chen awakened. His body floated in midair, and wind was was whistling in his ear.
His heart was beating rhythmically, every time it beat, the silver energy gushed out. It entered the various places in his body by following the blood. His severely injured body started recovering slowly.
"How far have we gone?" Zi Chen asked.
"You're awake?" The youth landed on the ground lightly, he was looking at Zi Chen with an incredulous look, as if he was looking at a monster.
And the nearby Zhang Haotian was equally amazed. According to his speculation, Zi Chen would be unconscious for at least several days, but he actually woke up in only half an hour, and although his voice was low and deep, but it was powerful, he didn't look weak at all.
"If you compare yourself to others, you will only torture yourself, ah!" Zhang Haotian closed his eyes.
"For several dozen miles." The youth said.
The youth was exactly Miao Kong, he rushed over when he heard the thundering explosions, but he did not expect to see Zi Chen.
"Stop, I want to recover."
Miao Kong put down Zi Chen and Zhang Haotian, both of them sat cross-legged and began to restore their injuries.
"Do you have any spirit medicine?"
Miao Kong took out a hundred years spirit medicine from his bag and gave it to Zi Chen.
The latter chewed twice and then swallowed it. The rich spirit energy appeared from his abdomen, the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique started to revolve ……
The heart absorbed this spirit energy and more silver energy was released, traveling towards various parts of his body. This time, the wounds on Zi Chen's body started to heal with the speed visible to the naked eye. The criss-crossing sword wounds healed slowly and formed scabs. A moment later, the scabs fell off, delicate white meat had grown from the wounds.
"This ……?"
Miao Kong and Zhang Haotian both were dumbfounded, their eyes were filled with an incredule look. Even though both of them had seen a lot of inconceivable matters, but they had never seen the situation in front of their eyes. The severely wounded body actually healed in a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Your spirit medicine is able to bring someone back to life?" Even the indifferent Zhang Haotian couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think? I still have some of, why don't you try it?" Miao Kong asked rhetorically, then he took out the same hundred years spirit medicine again.
Zhang Haotian took it, he chewed casually and then swallowed it. A moment later, his pale complexion became rosier. The spirit energy of the spirit medicine was scurrying around in his body crazily, Zhang Haotian could only use his cultivation technique to refine this spirit energy.
With the spirit medicine's help, he had made some progressed on healing his injuries, but it was far less frightening than what Zi Chen had displayed.
One hour later, Zhang Haotian finally suppressed the scurrying spirit energy in his body, his severely injured body had made some improvement. But when he opened his eyes, he actually saw that Zi Chen was looking at him with a rosy complexion, and a happy look in his eyes.
"Your injuries have healed?" Zhang Haotian asked.
Zi Chen nodded.
Zhang Haotian lowered his head, he was no longer looking at Zi Chen, because he did not want to spit out blood. He had always thought that he was superior in this aspect, but in front of Zi Chen, he appeared much more inferior.
"What do you plan to do now?" Miao Kong asked, "Do not blame me for not reminding you, the inner sect's ten seeds are looking for you, and they wants to kill you. And now you have also offended the people from Zhang Wu Sect.
"Doesn't matter." Zi Chen said while waving his hand, "I will adopt the appropriate measures to the actual situation. Since I cannot get rid of the trouble, then I will find a way to solve the trouble."
"You mean…?" Miao Kong was looking at Zi Chen.
First, we must solve the present problem. These four Zhan Wu Sect disciples don't need to return anymore." A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes, "If I'm lucky and they are greedy, then maybe I will be able to find them."
"You want to kill them?" Miao Kong was stunned. They are four people, and all of them are at the tenth Zhen Qi Layer.
"I cannot kill four of them at once, but I can kill them one by one, that was how Wang Xiong died in the first place." After saying that, Zi Chen did not even wait for Miao Kong to speak, he then turned around and walked towards the forest.
"You ……!" Miao Kong did not know what to say.
As for Zhang Haotian, he closed his eyes and began to restore his injuries.
"I have stayed at the peak of the eighth Zhen Qi Layer for too long. With the severe injuries this time, and having swallowed a lot of spirit medicines, I finally felt the bottleneck."
Zhang Haotian was restoring his injuries, as well as striving to make a breakthrough. If he arrived at the ninth Zhen Qi Layer, then he had a full grasp to kill of the four disciples that were pursuing them, and even would have the strength to challenge Ling Chen.
Zi Chen's luck was quite good. Zheng Hua and the others were also quite relentless, they were bent on killing Zi Chen. Few hours after they began to heal their injuries, they were heading off to kill the severely injured Zi Chen.
"Four of us will look separately, but the distance should not be too far." The four people arrived at the previous fighting place quickly, and then began tracking down the bloodstains and pursued in a direction. At the same time, they also spread out, and began to search in a wide scope.
And at this time, Zi Chen had also returned to the place before, tracing down the trail of the four people.
An hour later, the Zi Chen that was walking carefully in the forest heard an angry cursing voice.
"Fuck, we actually had been tricked by a seventh Zhen Qi Layer kid, this damn motherfucker."
