Real Extreme

It's not "The" paradise, but there are thousands of paradisiacal beaches, which permit exceptional residence conditions and vacations all year round.

The temperatures are extremely pleasant all year round (without the excesses of some tropical climates), the people are extremely friendly, and the real estate prices - for vacation properties or for rental income - are true bargains by North American and European standards...

Bargains of how much?

Well. It depends and varies, of course. There are modest properties between 30.000 USD, or 40.000 USD. And double, up to 100,000 USD, for luxury... Bargains, even so...

And where is this place?

The place is a vast zone of the North eastern coast of Brazil (the longest tropical beach coast of the world). It's located mainly in the Brazilian state of Bahia, near small towns such as Praia do Forte, Itaparica, Ilha da Comandatuba, Costa do Sauipe, Porto Seguro, and others nearer the city of Salvador.

And the downsides, you may ask? And the safety issue? And are the people as friendly as mentioned before?

Yes. Brazilians are a peaceful and extremely friendly people. Brazil doesn't have terrorist activities or political violence. Brazil is a very big country, and as a whole offers safe conditions for investing and travelling. Safety problems - namely robbery - are in the big cities...
Safety problems are extremely rare in Bahia State. Even robbery and petty crime are largely unknown in most of Bahia.

You will notice some beggars in Salvador da Bahia, but in most of the coastal places - and we are speaking of a coast with many hundreds of miles...- even this problem is not sensitive.

You just need to test. Go to Brazil, go to Bahia... See the conditions, see the stock and the prices of local real estate. If you want to benefit from current prices, do not wait too long!

Present prices will not last for long. There is a growing international interest in Brazilian properties. The natural conditions offered by the coast of Bahia will promote tourism and real estate to the tops of international demand. It's just a question of time.

As mentioned above, think of places such as Porto Seguro, Itaparica, Praia do Forte, Costa do Sauipe... They are small villages with an extremely safe and friendly atmosphere, where you will also find nearby luxury resorts, a large supply of properties, and natural conditions that you will not find elsewhere.

So... book a flight to Brazil. Brazil - and Bahia especially - deserve your visit.

Extreme Truth $3.48 "Extreme" is a hot word these days--and what could be more extreme than the truth of God's Word? This totally new book for grads follows the pattern of Barbour's popular and successful Bible Promise Book series--with topically arranged Scriptures that address the needs and concerns of young people--but adds some thought-provoking quotations and friendly commentary that help put the wisdom of God's Word into a real-world context. Ideal for any graduate--from high school or college.

Sisters of the Extreme $15.98 • An anthology of writings by some of the most influential women in history on the often misunderstood and misrepresented female drug experience.• With great honesty, bravery, and frankness, women from diverse backgrounds write about their drug experiences.Women have been experimenting with drugs since prehistoric times, and yet published accounts of their views on the drug experience have been relegated to either antiseptic sociological studies or sensationalized stories splashed across the tabloids. The media has given us an enduring, but inaccurate, stereotype of a female drug user: passive, addicted, exploited, degraded, promiscuous. But the selections in this anthology--penned by such famous names as Billie Holiday, Anais Nin, Maya Angelou, and Carrie Fisher--show us that the real experiences of women are anything but stereotypical.  Sisters of the Extreme provides us with writings by women from diverse occupations and backgrounds, from prostitute to physician, who through their use of drugs dared cross the boundaries set by society--often doing so with the hope of expanding themselves and their vision of the world. Whether with LSD, peyote, cocaine, heroine, MDMA, or marijuana, these women have sought to reach, through their experimentation, other levels of consciousness. Sometimes their quests have brought unexpected rewards, other times great suffering and misfortune. But wherever their trips have left them, these women have lived courageously--if sometimes dangerously--and written about their journeys eloquently.

Extreme Measures $20.98 In the newest devastatingly intense thriller by #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Vince Flynn, his deadly and charismatic hero Mitch Rapp wages a war against a new enemy with the help of a fellow soldier as dedicated and as lethal as they come.Vince Flynn's thrillers, featuring counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp, have dominated the imagination of readers everywhere. In them, Flynn has captured the secretive world of the fearless men and women, who, bound by duty, risk their lives in a covert war they must hide from even their own political leaders.Now, Rapp and his protege, Mike Nash, may have met their match. The CIA has detected and intercepted two terrorist cells, but a third is feared to be on the loose. Led by a dangerous mastermind obsessed with becoming the leader of al-Qaeda, this determined and terrifying group is about to descend on America.Rapp needs the best on this assignment, and Nash, who has served his government honorably for sixteen years first as an officer in the Marine Corps and then as an operative in an elite counterterrorism team run by Rapp is his choice. Together, they have made careers out of meeting violence with extreme violence and have never wavered in the fight against the jihadists and their culture of death. Both have fought the war on terrorism in secret without accolades or acknowledgment of their personal sacrifices. Both have been forced to lie to virtually every single person they care about, and both have soldiered on with the knowledge that their hard work and lethal tactics have saved thousands of lives.But the political winds have changed in America, and certain leaders on Capitol Hill are pushing to have men like Rapp and Nash put back on a short leash. And then one spring afternoon in Washington, DC, everything changes.Using his insider knowledge of intelligence agencies and the military, Flynn once again delivers an all-too-real portrayal of a war that is that is waged every day by a handful of brave, devoted souls. Smart, fast-paced, and jaw-droppingly realistic, Extreme Measures is the political thriller of our time.

Swing Extreme Testing $46.48 IN DETAIL Thorough testing is the basis of good software. Whether we use an agile development methodology such as Extreme Programming, or a more traditional approach, we must test our software at the unit level and application level. The tests must run automatically and cover all aspects of the software. In this book, the authors draw on more than 20 years of experience to show how automated testing can be applied to a real commercial product. This book will teach you how to automatically test user interfaces (Swing GUIs), the help system, internationalization, log files, spreadsheets, email, and web services, how to perform tests involving multiple JVMs, and a host of other things. These tests are applied at the module level (unit tests) and at the application level (function tests). The authors have developed the test processes in the broader context of an Extreme Programming (XP) methodology. However, the testing techniques are certainly not specific to XP, and may be applied within any given development methodology. Approach This book is a practical guide based on the authors' daily experience developing and maintaining a cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence system. Every chapter comes up with real-life examples and the source code that comes with the book is full of useful (and well-tested) tools. The practical examples make this book suitable learning material for Swing developers.

An Introduction to Statistical Modeling of Extreme Values $90.98 Directly oriented towards real practical application, this book develops both the basic theoretical framework of extreme value models and the statistical inferential techniques for using these models in practice. Intended for statisticians and non-statisticians alike, the theoretical treatment is elementary, with heuristics often replacing detailed mathematical proof. Most aspects of extreme modeling techniques are covered, including historical techniques (still widely used) and contemporary techniques based on point process models. A wide range of worked examples, using genuine datasets, illustrate the various modeling procedures and a concluding chapter provides a brief introduction to a number of more advanced topics, including Bayesian inference and spatial extremes. All the computations are carried out using S-PLUS, and the corresponding datasets and functions are available via the Internet for readers to recreate examples for themselves. An essential reference for students and researchers in statistics and disciplines such as engineering, finance and environmental science, this book will also appeal to practitioners looking for practical help in solving real problems. Stuart Coles is Reader in Statistics at the University of Bristol, UK, having previously lectured at the universities of Nottingham and Lancaster. In 1992 he was the first recipient of the Royal Statistical Society's research prize. He has published widely in the statistical literature, principally in the area of extreme value modeling.

The Real Thing $19.66 The Real Thing tells the story of Wayne Newton's early years through a collection of demos, acetates, independent label recordings and Capitol sides that, in many cases, are rare beyond belief. Newton's transformation -- from one-half of a kiddie hillbilly act to the archetypal Las Vegas showman -- is so extreme that many of his early recordings may appeal to '50s rock & roll and country fans who never gave Newton's music a moment's thought. For those who admire Newton's far-ranging talents as an entertainer, though, The Real Thing is a revelation. Wayne Newton and his brother Jerry, billed as the Newton Brothers or the Newton Rascals, began as a pure hillbilly duo with matching cowboy outfits, country and western songs, and a steel guitar played by Wayne himself. Their earliest demos and singles, made when Wayne was only 12-years-old, include up-tempo novelties and boogies comparable to the Collins Kids' first recordings. From there, they evolved into a rock & roll brother duo similar to the Everly Brothers with songs such as "Baby, Baby, Baby" and "Rock 'n' Roll Lullaby." Three recordings from a 1959 Capitol session are a highlight as one is previously unreleased, and the other two -- "I Spy" and "The Real Thing" -- comprised Newton's most collectable single. When the brothers moved to George and Lama Records in the early '60s, Wayne's vocals dominated and the material moved into the teen idol realm with novelties such as "Calorie Date" and mild rockers like "Little Jukebox." A cover of Johnny Ray's "The Little White Cloud That Cried" appears in two versions: the original George label recording and an overdub that Challenge issued to minor chart success in 1964. The final seven cuts on the collection are early highlights from Newton's second go-around with Capitol, where he worked with Bobby Darin and produced the hits "Heart," "Danke Schoen," and "Shirl Girl." All of the latter recordings are available on Newton's installment in the Capitol Collectors Series and will be familiar to his fans -- it is the early recordings that make The Real Thing such a rare treat. ~ Greg Adams, All Music GuidePerformers: Buddy Milton - Celeste, Piano; Jerry Newton - Guitar (Rhythm), Vocals; Brad Bauder - Saxophone; Connie Conway - Drums; James Estes - Bass; Ernie Freeman Combo - Piano;
