Monaco Grand Prix May 28

Monaco Grand Prix May 28 - By: Roger Munns

The Monaco Grand Prix ranks among the top sporting events in the world, and for good reason.The combination of Formula One cars street racing and the influx of celebrities to the playground of Europe make a heady mix for the annual event, and is viewed as part of the social calendar for the world’s top sports stars, actors, models and businessmen.The circuit takes in Casino Square and passes by the renowned Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo, making it one of the most recognisable hotels in the world.The race started in 1929, organised by Monte Carlo resident and founding president of the Automobile Club de Monaco, Anthony Noghes, and the Grand Prix has made the world’s second smallest country a destination of choice for many.While Monaco enjoys the attention of the world’s media for one weekend every May, she also attracts many people long term to become residents due to her tax haven status, and residents enjoy a zero rated income tax.In recent years Monaco has attracted the wealthy for another visit. The annual Monaco Yacht Show in September has the most exclusive yachts in the world moor at the harbour in Fontvieille, and the hotels in Monte Carlo and Monaco are booked full nearly a year in advance.For both events, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Yacht Show many visitors stay in nearby Nice and travel in, and the hotels in Monaco enjoy full occupancy at premium rates.Monaco Real EstateOnce a European backwater, Prince Rainier turned Monaco into one of Europe’s best known locations, combining glamour with an income tax free policy that has attracted millionaires and billionaires to the principality for the last forty years.Real estate prices reflect the prestige and tax advantages of living in Monaco. One local Monaco estate agency report that currently they have a one bedroom apartment, with no sea views, available at 880,000 Euros. And by the time closing costs are taken into account this rises to around a million Euros.A two bedroom two bathroom apartment in Monte Carlo is available for 1,900,000 Euros.And a five bedroom four bathroom apartment, recently featured on the BBC’s Money Programme ‘No tax please – we’re rich’, in Fontveille, the same area of Monaco where the Hotel Columbus, part owned by Grand Prix driver David Coulthard, is situated with Mediterranean views is available for ten million Euros.With demand from clients worldwide the prices of real estate in Monaco is likely to be among the highest in the world for the forseeable future.Commenting on the local property market, several estate agents have reported good sales for Monte Carlo real estate and for Monaco generally in the first quarter of 2006, with the top end of properties in Monaco doing particularly well compared to the same quarter last year.And there are rumours among the owners of the hotels in Monaco and Monaco Real Estate industry that two islands could be built with bridges to connect them to Monte Carlo which would allow some 5000 new low rise properties and a hotel to be built.If the rumours become true of more availability of properties and a new hotel in Monaco the possibility also exists of an extended or changed circuit for the Monaco Grand Prix in years to come.

I'm sure you've been made familiar with the popular golf instruction aids & tutorials that you've seen in the pro shops, online at bookstores like Amazon and on specialty sites all over the web. You might even be suffering from golf overload! While your first inclination might be to give that new product a try, you need to keep certain things in mind before making an impulse purchase.First of all, let's keep something in mind. My goal here isn't to bring you down to earth or to try and stifle your dream of playing exceptional golf. However, the odds of a certain golf instruction program suddenly transforming your game from part-time amateur to a full-time golf virtuoso is somewhere between slim and none.There are many programs and aids available that can help you improve your game in one form or another, but nothing is a substitute for good old-fashioned practice, whether that be on the course, at the driving range, or simply in your backyard. Anywhere where you can be free to make mistakes and learn from them is a good place to practice, and eventually, your game will thank you for it.I would liken it to learning to play a musical instrument. If you've ever learned how to play piano, guitar, violin or another instrument, you'd know that even though you might have had a stellar teacher, failure to practice on a consistent basis means the lessons you're being taught will be completely meaningless. The same can be said for golf instruction. You can spend hundreds of dollars on professional golf instruction or $47 for an e-book and DVD set, but without the proper amount of practice, you will not improve your game. Period. That said, here are some things to look at when researching the latest golf instruction products & tutorials:1. What ails your game the most?What is it about your game that you think is the most lacking? I'm sure you can think of one thing you're consistently doing wrong on the course, whether it be slicing the golf ball, or not getting enough power on your drives, etc. Jot down one or two of these problems that you'd like solved and look for specific products to help those elements of your game the most. And since many problems in golf tend to stem from one underlying issue, odds are you will correct a number of parts to your game just by implementing a strategy or unlearning a bad habit that you might have unknowingly picked up on.2. What credentials does the author/manufacturer have?Does the author of that book teach amateur golfers on a regular basis? How have his students done? Do a Google search for his or her name and try to track down some of the individuals that they've tutored. People are always willing to give out reviews & opinions, and the golf world is no different. If the instructor has experience or connections with some of the PGA professionals or has a successful track record teaching amateurs, then its likely that you've found someone you can trust.3. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.If their product is worth checking out, the author or instructor will always be readily available to answer any questions you might have about the product before you make a purchase. Never hesitate asking questions directly to the source up front before making your decision.Taking the time to thoroughly research the web before purchasing a golf instruction tutorial or aid will save yourself a great deal of frustration and should help your golf game moving back in the right direction.

Speeding convictions on the riseBy: Assetz
Anyone who's seen that sickening flash of a speed camera in the rearview mirror may be relieved to hear that they are by no means alone.New figures show that one in four households contain at least onedriver with a speeding condition, with the latest figures from the HomeOffice confirming that more than two million drivers were flashed forspeeding in 2004, the last year for which figures are available.This is matched by a general rise in the number of speeding offencesdealt with by the police, which hit a record high of 13.5 million, withoffences ranging from dangerous driving to speeding and illegalparking. Accordingly, it's becoming increasingly likely that yourfellow road users have committed a driving offence, with 2004witnessing 466 offences for every 1,000 vehicles on the road, up from355 a decade earlier.With many sceptical that the UK's drivers are simply getting worse, thefigures have lead critics to claim that motorists are more likely to bedetected and prosecuted for offences, even miner ones. Tony Vickers, ofthe Association of British Drivers, claims that drivers now have agreater chance of being prosecuted than in previous years. "It isbeginning to look more like prosecution for prosecution's sake, ratherthan a realistic road safety policy," he told the Telegraph.The greater prevalence of speed cameras is helping to fuel this rise inprosecution, with the two million drivers snapped in 2004 upconsiderably from the 447,000 in 1998. Now the government has announcedthat it plans to extend the UK's network of speed cameras, which isalready 6,000 strong, by approving hundreds of new speed camera sitesacross the country. Following the government's decision, some 233 newspeed cameras will be installed, while just 30 sites are due to bedecommissioned.Criticism for this planned increase has been swift in coming, withshadow transport minister Owen Paterson stating "motorists will bedisappointed to see the government planning yet more speed cameras onour roads"."Speed cameras clearly have a role to play in road safety but they arenot the be all and end all. We need the co-operation of drivers if weare to improve road safety and if we simply install endless amounts ofcameras we risk losing their support," he added.A common thread behind anti speed camera attitudes is the idea thatthey are installed more as a revenue making exercise than a road safetydevice. Unfortunately the latest projected earnings from speed cameraswill do nothing to dispel this idea, with the 39 safety camerapartnership expected to make £120 million over the next financialyear. The partnerships, comprised of councils, police, courts and theHighways Agency, are allowed to keep some of the revenue from fines topay for the upkeep of the cameras.One good piece of news revealed by the new figures, however, is thatthe number of drivers disqualified for speeding has fallen, hitting31,000 in 2004, down from 33,000 the year before, suggesting that onelot of penalty points candeter drivers from future speeding offences.Andrew Howard from the AA pointed to research that says drivers who arecaught speeding once are motivated to avoid a further recurrence,telling the Daily Mirror: "These figures show most drivers who get aspeeding conviction learn the lesson and either pay more attention totheir speed or look more closely for cameras.

Italian: Speaking The Language of LoveBy: Philip Nicosia
One of the most romantic languages on earth is Italian.There is indescribable quality to the Italian language that makes it sound so florid and expressive – two qualities that lend itself well to missives of love and passionate feelings.But what could have made the Italian language become so associated with feelings of love and romance?One very important factor could be the culture. The rich culture of Italy and its storied history could have brought about a subconscious association of anything romantic with the Italian language. Italy’s culture is loaded with romantic imagery and a pervasive atmosphere of passion. Case in point are the many artworks and architectural wonders that the country possess. The art of such masters Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo may be firmly rooted in the Classical school but you still could not help but feel the passion that emanate from their works. From the virile yet delicate features of David to enigmatic smile of La Gioconda -- the celebration of the human form and its emotions and passions are all too apparent. The religious iconography and artwork that is one of the centerpieces of the Vatican (located in Italy) may be not necessarily be associated with erotic love. But the images of saints, Jesus, and of the Virgin Mary convey a different kind of love altogether – divine, pure and aspirational. Italy’s old world architecture has also contributed in making the Italian language synonymous with love. Every person who has toured the country and visited its old buildings and churches all describe the feeling of awe upon seeing majestic works of beauty that have been wrought by the hand of man. Who wouldn’t be filled with the feeling of love upon seeing St. Peter’s Basilica, the old Roman monuments and statues as well as the old world buildings that dot the quaint streets of Italy?Italy’s other cultural contributions also convey love and passion. The opera is one fine example. The passion conveyed by this exquisite art form is hard to surpass. From the first notes of any opera piece – whether it be a comedy or a tragedy – is enough to transport the listener to another world that is pure sensation and emotion. The listener is like a boat buffeted by the waves of passion and love, happiness and wistfulness that each aria conveys through melody and words. Italian literature also brings this kind of fervent passion to paper. From poetry to novels the Italian language has been used to great effect in conveying feelings of love. But probably the biggest reason why the Italian language has such a strong association with love is the country itself. Italy is such a romantic place that millions of honeymooners, couples and married folk go to the country to soak up the fabled romantic ambience of Italy. There are so many things that couples do in Italy that have become synonymous with romance and love – riding a gondola through Italy’s canals, wine tasting in the countryside, having coffee al fresco, and even walking through Italy’s narrow cobblestone streets. With all of these reasons it is no wonder the moment you hear someone speak Italian the first thing that comes to your mind is love and romance.

Malta Property Soars In ValueBy: Malta
The Mediterranean island of Malta has recorded the strongest growth in property prices from countries in the European Union, and recent news could help see property inflation in double figures for the next few years.Figures released by the European Mortgage Federation show Malta’s rise of over eighteen per cent was higher than both France and Spain.Two EU countries, Germany and Austria, saw house prices drop, while Portugal, Greece and the Netherlands were barely into positive territory.And property insiders on the island are predicting that strong growth could be around for a few years yet, giving Malta the potential to be seen by investors as a good place to buy.Tribune Properties who specialise in property for sale in Malta report that the first quarter of 2006 has seen a good level of activity, with the top end of the market seeing particularly good performance levels.‘The first couple of weeks of January were slower than the same period last year’ comments Michael Johnson, Tribune’s Managing Director, ‘but since then the number of sales has matched last year – a very good one – but villas with an asking price of a million Euros and more has seen increased activity, and a good number of sales’.Malta Hotels and HolidaysThe independent information site for holidays and hotels in Malta http://www.yourmalta.com also report increased interest in their property pages compared to the first quarter of 2005, with the number of page views increasing by nearly a third.Sustained property inflation at levels seen in Malta are rarely seen in other countries, but new economic activity on the island could see property demand at good levels for some years to come.A new ‘Smart City’ is planned which could see Malta competing with the rest of Europe as a business destination for internet and other high-tech companies. English is spoken fluently in Malta, and coupled with relatively low salaries locally it is hoped that inward investment and 5000 new jobs will help the Maltese economy which in turn will boost the property, hotel and holiday markets.The tourist industry is vital to Malta’s economy, and it is hoped that the arrival of low cost airlines providing new flights to Malta will benefit the Malta holidays industry as well as the many hotels in Malta.If Malta can combine the attractions of a Mediterranean holiday island with a modern infrastructure and high tech friendly business in a low tax environment, today’s property prices could look like a bargain in five years time.The introduction of low cost flights to Malta from the UK will open up the possibility of more buyers looking at the island for holiday homes that could be used for long weekends, and the Malta hotels industry could reap the benefits of the 3 and 4 day tourist seeing the island as a viable place to visit. Malta has traditionally seen the majority of her visitors from the UK, but this could be changing to a more diverse mix in future years.Last year saw a record number of visitors from Italy, and increased enquiries have been received at estate agents across the island from Scandanvia, Holland, France and Belgium, helping to increase the demand for Malta properties.After some years of wondering how Malta would fit into the modern world, property agents, hotel owners and the Malta holidays industry are beginning to see the future with some optimism.
