THE PLOT 1974. A pandemic had an impact on the population, making the percentage of male births reach 1%. The disease caused abnormal hormonal activity, leading to the female population outnumbering the male one. In order to protect men, the "treasure" of the country, the Thai Government established since 2004 that not only the few men born have to be taken away from their families to live in a locked space called The Farm, but they also have to get married to the winner of the government-sponsored game: Ready, Set, Love. 50 girls have to fight against each other to be the chosen one and get an ambitious prize: getting married and living a comfortable life in The Family, the prototype of the perfect family. What if the system is fixed to make only the girl from The Family win: could a normal girl turn the rule of the game upside-down?

Here's a new installment in our series dedicated to social media and how it affects our lives. This time is Sophia's turn. Enjoy reading! Hey everyone, today we're diving into something new for me on this blog: exploring how social media impacts our life. Lately, it's been on my mind, especially the way it both bring us together and pulls us apart. Have you ever stopped to think about it? Social media is this incredible tool that lets us chat with friends, keep up with world events, and share our favorite moments. It's like a digital playground where we can connect with people from all over the globe. But amongst the likes and comments, sometimes it feels like we're just scratching the surface. Are we really building meaningful connections, or are we just putting on a show for the world to see? Let's dig deeper into this paradox and explore how social media shapes our lives and relationships in the digital age. "Social media is not a media. Th

  Introduction If you’re new here, this is the second part of an article where I show the basics of programming languages with Python, one of the most famous and beginner-friendly one. You can find the first part of the article here .   If you, instead, have already read the first part of this article, you’ll probably remember I left you with a problem to solve using Python, without giving you the final solution… so, here it is!   Solution (problem of part 1 of the article) Presented problem:   “Let a to be 2 and b to be 3. Given y = 5a + 2b + 7, what is the value for y?”   Solution:   Python outputs 23 as the solution.   If (“if statement” in technical language) Let’s say you want to output the input value only if it’s greater than 10, otherwise ( else) just output 0.   In Math, this can be “represented” with a piecewise defined function:  By doing the same thing in Python:  Things to notice: -         to define the code that goes inside if and else we us

  The romantic films that I selected and want to recommend to you today are great classics of romance, cult films with thrilling emotions, unforgettable romantic comedies, lesser-known films that perhaps you don't expect to find here, sometimes tortuous love stories, not necessarily with happy ending,   but always on the edge of a feeling that resists time, distance, death, human weakness. Casablanca (1942) of Michael Curtiz A love film between drama, espionage and romance of the golden age of Hollywood, a legend of cinema in which myth surpasses melody. And also an anti-Nazi work. Here is the impossible and poignant love between the rude but fascinating Rick (Humphrey Bogart), bar manager, and Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), ethereal and with veiled eyes, divided by war and destiny... With his white tuxedo, cigarette in hand and choices dictated by a greater good, Bogart sculpts the icon of the "real man”. Oscars for cinematography, direction and screenplay.   Titanic (1997) James

  Here's the third article in our series dedicated to social media and how they affect our lives. It's Lucrezia's turn today. Scroll down and enjoy reading!   Social media has been a great way for people to connect with others around the world. However, it has also become a source of distraction for many people. While some      use social media responsibly to enhance their lives, many have become overly reliant on it. This has led to people being distracted during conversations or even losing track of their schedules, and this is one of the bad aspects about today's topic: social media.    Did you know that around 62% of the world's population use social media? While this may seem obvious, it's actually an insane percentage considering that 74% of people in the world have access to safely managed drinking water, and the small numerical difference between these two is actually very relevant in daily life, so how much do we actually need social media? what are the

    Hi guys! Today I want to talk about a very interesting topic, books! They are precious since they have the power to educate and entertain so many people and they have done that for such a long time!   Now, in this article, I’ll focus on the 5 most famous books.   1. The Bible The Bible is the best-selling and most read book in the world, with billions of copies distributed in several languages.

  "Poor Things!", released in Italian theatres on January 25 2024, is a film by director Yorgos Lanthimos that presents itself as a startling and thought-provoking work. Through grotesque atmospheres and surreal hues, the film revisits the myth of Frankenstein in a modern key, focusing on the female figure of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone). Bella, an emancipated woman with a sexuality that was free for her time, is brought back to life by the scientist God (Mark Ruffalo) after a suicide attempt. However, her brain is replaced with that of the foetus she was carrying, creating a hybrid and unique creature.   Like Frankenstein's monster, Bella finds herself catapulted into a world that does not understand or fear her. Her childlike innocence clashes with the cruelty and hypocrisy of Victorian society, leading her to have grotesque and tragicomic experiences. Lanthimos, through the figure of Bella, explores deep and universal themes: diversity, the search for a place in the world
