What is a Bladder Infection? A bladder infection is also known as cystitis, and is commonly referred to as a urinary tract infection (UTI). When bacteria enters the urinary tract via the urethra, sometimes it moves up into the bladder, where it can multiply and cause an infection. Although generally very uncomfortable, treating a bladder infection is not difficult. Most bladder infections or UTIâs are caused by the bacterium Escherichia coli (E.coli).
Sicilian Defense The Sicilian Defense is the most popular defense against whiteâs opening 1.e4 and is used extensively at top level play. It is a very aggressive defense and immediately stakes claim at the center, denying white the double pawns on e4 and d4. Many chess champions actually prefer to start with 1.d4 because of how well the Sicilian Defense plays against 1.e4.
Beaches in Sicily. With all the beautiful beaches in Sicily, sun, sea and beach lovers are certainly in for a treat! The coastal towns of Balestrate, Castellammare del Golfo, Trappeto and Alcamo Marina are excellent locations to enjoy the warm Sicilian sun, the large sandy beaches and the azure blue water of the Golfo di Castellammare. Balestrate has two beaches, one sandy beach to the east of the new harbor and the large beach on the west side of town. During high season, parts of these beaches are occupied by so called lidi (plural of lido), or lidos, which are private beaches where you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas.
