Luxury newly renovated villa in Monaco at a very good price - best choice in 2018!
The Principality of Monaco is one of the most stable and rising real estate markets of the world. It is so due to the unique taxation system that attracts millions of dollars to save and multiply. Secret of Monaco's prosperity is 0% residents' income tax on all activities in and outside the country since 1869. Though French nationals are the exception from this beautiful rule.
All residents of Monaco regardless of citizenship or nationality who spend more than 183 days a year in this tiny state of 2,02 sq.km also enjoy absence of wealth tax, capital gains tax, real estate annual tax, gift or inheritance taxes for direct liners (parents, spouses, children). The companies operating within the Prinicipality (at least for three quarters of turnover) enjoy 0% profit tax. Thus, Monaco had become not only the place of spending but the important mean of money saving. One only has to get official Monegasque residency and that includes real estate ownership or renting.
Low taxation is the main reason for the permanent rise in Monaco population and for the escalating of real estate prices in Monaco. Monaco witnessed record sales in 2014, booming market in 2015. Official statistics released by IMSEE MONACO STATISTICS in 2015 is showing 31% increase in total value of sales vs 2014. In comparison with 2013 data, real estate market sales value in 2015 more than doubled amounting to 453 mln euro. The average purchasing price in 2015 was 11,9 mln euro for the apartment. As per official sources, average price per m2 in Monaco was 36 000 eur in 2015. If compared with prices of 2006, average price per m2 in Monaco has risen by 144%.
Statistics is also demonstrating that 69.6% of sales value in Monaco count for apartments with 5 and more rooms meaning that it is the most active resale segment.
Cheapest studio-flats in Monaco of 20-25 m2 were worth 750 000-950 000 euro in early 2016 same as running small- or medium-sized hotel in Montenegro, Bulgaria or Greece (Corfu).
Prices for one-bedrooms apartments (salon+1 bedroom) start from 1-1.2 mln euro, cost of the worst two-bedroom apartment in need of renovation (salon+ 2 bedroom) was 1.39 mln eur, enough to afford a beautiful castle in France. The lowest budget for small three-bedroom unit (salon+3 bedroom) was 2.78 mln eur in 2016. The bottom figures are, however, much lower than average ones which are at least twice as high. These prices make Monaco a rational choice of a qualified buyer.
Offer for detached villas is rather scarce, mainly over 25-30 mln eur.
Rental yields in Monaco are quite low, between 1,3-2,5% per year compensated by the overall growth in prices. Investment and renovation for subsequent resale was more profitable recently bringing 10-20% per annum. Resale operations could bring 10-15% even with no renovations done.
In 2014-2015 most of the property buyers in Monaco were from Italy and from Russia which is explained by strengthening of tax politics in these jurisdictions.
Buying costs in Monaco are rather high including 4.5% property transfer tax, notary fee of 1,5-2,5% and agency's commission: 3% (+19.60% VAT) from the Buyer side. Overall buyer's expenses amount to approx.10% in case of property purchase at secondary market. In case of new apartment purchase the costs be even higher as property transfer tax will be replaced by Value-Added Tax of 19.6%.
All the deals are concluded in Monaco through the office of public notary. Official offers are usually placed in written form being supported by a cheque of 10% deposit. Oral bids are not considered. Accepted offer has a legally binding force for both parties. Once the deal fails due to non-performance of the Buyer, he is losing the deposit.
Payments by installments are not customary in Monaco unless you purchase apartment in a new development and pay as per stage of construction. The deals normally require payments to be executed within 1-2 months maximum.
Opening an account and bank financing of real estate purchases are available to non-residents of Monaco through all the Monegasque banks. Banks are generally financing 50-100% for 5-15 years, under EURIBOR + 1-3% depending on a deal against the collateral in the form of deposit/asset placed in the bank (for approx. 50% of property value). Among Top 10 Monaco banks are: Barclays Wealth Monaco, Banque Edmond de Rothschild Monaco, Credit Suisse Monaco, Societe Generale Monaco, Bank Julius Baer Monaco, HSBC Private Bank Monaco, BNP Paribas Wealth Management Monaco, Coutts & Co. Monaco, Credit Du Nord Monaco, Compagnie Monegasque de Banque. Minimum amount required to be kept on bank account is 50 000-100 000 euro depending on a bank.
In connection with recent terrorist attacks certain measures are taken to ensure security of property owners and tenants. The Sellers of properties in Monaco are kindly asking potential buyers to identify themselves providing their official ID documents, passports and LOI (Letter of Intent) indicating the budget of the client. The Sellers may refuse to accept this or that buyer with no explanation. We also ask the client for a short introductory meeting before the viewings.
Monaco likes precision. Later arrivals to property viewings with more than 15 minutes delay are not understandable for the Sellers and may ruin your reputation of a Buyer from the start.
Many apartments for sale in Monaco are rented out and viewing demands 48 hours prior warning or sometimes even earlier prior notification. It is making the viewing process a matter of planning ideally a week ahead of customer arrival or chosen date of visit.
Sometimes the tenants are strongly opposing to making photos inside the apartments, and that may be the reason for provision of no internal photo of apartment by the agent.
There is no sense to bargain offering 50% of the purchasing price. The Sellers of realty in Monaco know the value of their properties and bargains to push the price down for more than 5-10% are hardly possible.
Viewing of the same property in Monaco with two different agencies in a hope to get better price will lead to payment of double commission.
Monaco is a small domain of 2 sq.km. and there is no need to involve 10 agencies to cover the whole market. Once one agency learns you are entering every door on the street, all the others will start treat you as an unserious client.
Viewings in Monaco are rarely made on Saturdays, though possible upon prior agreement with owners and tenants, and are never done on Sundays (unlike visit in Germany). The Monegasques also appreciate public and religious holidays when the demonstration of properties may be not possible. However, we are rendering consulting services 7 days a week and are ready to answer your questions in the most expedient manner.
If you decide to combine attending Formula One races with the property visits – this is not the best idea. Half of Monaco inhabitants (including the Sellers and their representatives) prefer to leave Monaco for this hot period of time to avoid blocked streets and multiple noisy tourists.
Parking in Monaco is a big problem and may take more time than the visits, for that reason we recommend to hire a taxi for the day of viewings.
Many apartments in Monaco are owned by non-resident and offshore companies and it may be suggested to you to purchase 100% of company shares to minimize taxes. However, the form of ownership may effect your residency status and all pros and cons should be considered.
It is an obligation of notary public to check the title and confirm the identity of the Seller but we may also suggest to invite a licensed Monegasque advocate to double check the documents since big money is involved. We could also recommend an immigration advocate to deal with your residence permit in Monaco.
The lowest prices for Monaco apartments involve "viager" contracts. This is a legal construction of property sale with a lifetime rental right of the elderly seller. Be careful, French and Monaco citizens are famous for their longevity.
Absence of annual property taxes is reimbursed by maintenance fee in Monaco condominiums charged by management companies depending on complex rank and amenities.
We are focusing on providing high-end services to direct property purchasers, especially european and overseas buyers. Our extended portfolio includes apartments in more than 170 condominiums of Monaco which enables to plan intensive viewings schedule and demonstrate up to 15-20 properties per day.
Our golden collection of self-standing villas for sale in Monaco is targeting the most demanding buyer.
Customer oriented selections of hot priced offers for further resale, renting or renovation are individually configured for a particular investor.
We aim to cover the whole real estate market of Monaco and we scan sales offers in each and every condominium thus making the market more transparent, open and understandable to the buyers.
You can be sure that your request will be addressed within 24 hours by the most competent consultants!
It is hard to believe but many apartments in Monaco are for sale already for several years.
First of all, we should remember that for the last 7-8 years Russia was a main supplier of high-end buyers of real estate in Monaco. They were buying large 4-bedroom apartments in upper market segment. Russia's prolonged economical crisis, economic and political sanctions started to become effective and affected … economy of Monaco. Even the banks in Monaco are now obliged to conduct proper due diligence of the Buyers and ask for the proof of source of income and relevant taxes paid. Can they be provided by majority of potential Monaco realty buyers from Russia or Ukraine?
Secondary realty market results were disappointing in 2017 thus demonstrating 1.831,0 mio eur value of all transactions for re-sale of 406 apartments (vs. 2 217 mio eur and 520 apartments sold in 2016). This is almost 22% drop. Average price of every re-sold unit was 4 509 000 eur. Most stable turned out to be the segment of resold studio-apartments in Monaco. Their quantity in 2016 and in 2017 remained unchanged. Number of one-bedroom units sold was cut by approx. 20-25%, two-bedroom apartments in Monaco lost approx.
2017 ended with the sales of 228,0 mio euro in Monaco real estate (both primary and secondary markets). In comparison to 2016 with 453 mio euro sales achievement it is almost 49% decrease.
We rely upon official data which is published by Monaco statistics office every year. It helps our buyers to plan their purchases in Monaco, analyze and foresee the trends.
What Laws 887, 1291, 1235 are?
Monaco has become a city of millioners. However, there are many citizens in Monaco who are not. The laws 887, 1291, 1235 have a vast scope of matters regulated and among them are the issues of so-called "social" real estate in Monaco meant for the local market.

Rocketboom Founder Does It eBay With Twitter Account
By Sean P. Aune 2008-04-13 08:04:32 UTC
Have you ever wished to have more followers on Twitter? Tired on languishing with only a few dozen spam bots following you? Well, Andrew Baron, founder of Rocketboom, is here to help you make your dream come true.
Mr. Baron feels he has been using his Twitter account improperly, and because he's set up to dish tweets on the official Rocketboom account on the service, he thinks it is now time to stop using his personal outlet. Instead of just deleting his account, though, he got the idea that perhaps someone would like to take it over for themselves. Seeing as he has 1,471 followers, it would be boring to just give it away, so he did what any red-white-and-blue-blooded American would do. He seeks a sale by putting it up for auction on eBay.
Yes, as of this writing (10:359 AM EST, April 13) the auction is at $510, and going by his own listing, he had 1,397 followers when it started, so this has actually gained him followers, making the assumed value even higher.
In the auction, Baron does offer bidders a preliminary caution: "Also, as with any dynamic group, there is obviously risk. My followers could jump ship at anytime. There is no guarantee on this part. People will come and go, thats just the way it is." So, for all you know, you could just end up with an empty Twitter account when all is said and done. But hey, it's one that has an interesting story, right?
Also worth nothing is that there is the unanswered question of how Twitter's administrators themselves will respond to the sale. It's doubtful they'll have a problem with it, but have they even discussed the possibility of people selling their accounts? Could this auction start a whole new trend of people divesting their Twitter accounts as commodities for cash? And what about any number of other social accounts? How much is a MySpace account with no glittery graphics worth now a days?
Of course, we can't go posting about a nifty story of this type without offering some shameless plugs for the Mashable staff. Please feel free to follow any and all members of our team on Twitter. And keep in mind, you shouldn't only think of yourself as a follower, per se. Think of it also as adding value to our future auctions!

How to put out a fire in Istanbul in 4 steps … or are there only 2 steps?
When writing instructions, do you need to be thorough or to the point? Or both?
How to put out a fire in Istanbul.
Disclaimer: I don't speak Turkish. Double disclaimer: I don't even know if this is Turkish, but hey, it was in Turkey.
In case you're in Istanbul, you might want to print this out in case of fire.
Stand up straight and spray extinguisher onto fire.
Keep doing #1. Not sure why we need a #2 if it's the same as number 1. Maybe they wanted to make sure to have several steps to show that it's more complicated than it seems.
Bend your knees a bit and lean into the fire. I don't know, this sounds like you're getting closer to the fire. I suppose this is a good strategy if the fire is getting smaller.
Keep doing #3. See note at #2 about continuing to do #1.
Still, it looks like it's working as the fire is smaller in graphics #3 and #4. But then again, it's also not actually out. Maybe it's only the instructions on how to make a fire smaller, not actually extinguish it. That takes 10 steps … with 5 diagrams.
NextDo you know for certain who you'll connect with? No. So just try.

Let's talk driver's license photos, shall we?
Note: Oleander, you knew this was coming.
I love to talk about my driver's license photo. In fact, when a cashier asks to see my photo ID, I pull it out, almost gleefully.
No, let's make that actually gleefully.
Holy Moses, I am a Goddess!
Note: Heck, yes it looks like me.
But a few days ago in the Pharmacy refill line, the tall, somewhat big-bellied, 50ish gentleman behind the counter asked for my ID.
He looked at my ID. He looked at me. And then he ruined it. He ruined my gleefulness with two words.
Well, technically one word, repeated twice, with a little bit of sweat on his brow.
Hubba Hubba? Is this what single women in my age group deal with? Is this where years of self-help and empowerment and breaking barriers has brought the fiftyish woman? Hubba Hubba?
Note: Oh dear. I think I may have just died a little inside.
I hope you all had a delightful weekend. The Warriors won again yesterday, so it's hard to find anything to complain about (unless you wanna talk baseball in Oakland, and then things take a grim turn).
I have a few gripes to share with you today. Recently I've come across a few sights that left me wondering what in the actual hell is going on here. And, in one case, lost me $1.50.
My car notified me that one of my tire's air pressure was getting a little low. Lucky for me, I've got a 7-Eleven right up the road that can both provide for my abundant diet soda needs and has an air pump. So, I pull up to the air pump. I glance at it and determine I need $1.25 for 5 minutes of air.
I'm returning from a walk around the block on my lunch break. I spy this deck coming off a neighbor's home. The questions in my head are endless. Was this always the plan? Was the mistake the window placement or the deck placement? Did they underestimate the grade of this location? Why is this here? It's literally 2 feet of deck. No one would ever go out on this. Why is this like this!
I'm at Target (obviously) and I'm looking at cars (obviously). The kids and I have been reading the junior novelization of Cars 3 as we prepare for its release this month (my son is so excited) so I'm looking at new characters from the movie and I find this. So far as I can tell they are otherwise identical.
Finally, the kids were having a delightful time playing with PhotoBooth on their iPad the other day. That is until they wanted to use different filters. So, I offered my phone to my son while my daughter continued to use the iPad. No PhotoBooth on the phone, so I quickly downloaded a photo app for him to play with. At one point he runs over to me and says "make a funny face, mama." I, of course, oblige. He bursts into laughter and runs away.
A few days later I'm looking through the pictures on my phone and I find the picture below. What. In. The. Actual. Hell. I can't even.
Although I may print a life-size version of this and just hold it in front of my face like a mask next time I need to get air for my tires.
We make no apologies for what you're about to watch.

L1s ease to Semi Final Indoor spot – Weekend Review – 18th/19th/20th January
Clydesdale Western 1s booked their place in the Semi Finals of this season's Women's National Indoor Division One Play-Offs with two games to spare.
Going into their crossover Pool matches on Sunday at Bell's Sports Centre, 'Dale Western 1s required a win against Inverleith 1s followed by a Hillhead 1s draw or win against Grove Menzieshill 1s. The L1s successfully saw off Inverleith 1s with a 2-1 win. A goal each in the first half from Frances Lonergan and Bronwyn Shields gave Wendy Justice's side a firm lead. The Edinburgh side did half the deficit but were unable to force an equaliser.
Qualification for the Semi Finals of the Women's Indoor Play-Off were confirmed after Hillhead and Grove Menzieshill drew 1-1. The Titwood girls were made to come from behind in their final game of the day against Hillhead 1s. 2-1 down at the break, Holly Steiger and Margery Justice scored to add to Kayleigh Justice's first half goal, giving the L1s another three points.
Clydesdale Western 1s have one more crossover game in Pool B against Grove before facing the runners-up of Pool A – which will either be Watsonians 1s or Edinburgh University 1s.
Clydesdale Western 2s temporarily eased relegation fears in Women's National Indoor Division Two after collecting three out of six points at Dundee International Sports Centre on Sunday.
The L2s were beaten 8-4 by 2nd placed CALA Edinburgh, but recovered to beat Dundee Wanderers 2-1 in a closely fought contest.
The result sees 'Dale Western 2s up to 6th, with three games remaining taking place on Sunday (26th January).
Clydesdale Western 5s stopped a run of four straight league losses after narrowly beating Stewarton Garnock 1s at Titwood on Monday evening.
A single goal from Catherine Clark was enough to give Trish Lonergan's side a valuable three points in Women's West District Division Two, taking them one place up to 8th in the league table.
The L5s started the game off very brightly, with excellent game play, pressure and goal opportunities aplenty – but sadly none were converted as shots and deflections were narrowly missed. Clark did have an earlier opportunity to score from a penalty corner strike but a great save from Stewarton Garnock's post player prevented a 'Dale Western 5s goal. The huge defensive effort from the home side was there to be seen for the entire first half, most notably from forward Helen Hood – which continued throughout the match.
In the second half, the game was all to play for as it continued to remain goalless. The away side came into the contest more with some much needed pressure on the L5s goal. But, Clydesdale Western 5s would be the ones to take the lead. An impressive half pitch burst break from Emma Murray paired with an equally rapid bolt from Clark allowed the latter to score the game's opening goal. The last 15 minutes of the game was very much backs to the wall for the home side but they successfully saw out the final part of the game to seal a much needed win.
On Saturday, Clydesdale Western 6s came from three goals down to seal a point in a stunning comeback at Millerston against Strathclyde University 2s.
A goal each from captain Rachel Brewer, Layli Phillips and Alex Campbell was enough to give the L6s an excellent point in a game that looked finished after 30 minutes. The away side were 3-0 down, but rallied back in devastating fashion to seal a draw. The result gives 'Dale Western 6s a much needed point in their fight to stay away from relegation in Women's West District Division Three.
Consistent pressure and chance creation saw Strathy score three times in the space of seven minutes after being shut out for just over a quarter of the initial proceedings. But five minutes before the end of the first half, Brewer scored a drag flick penalty corner to reduce the deficit. The L6s were firmly back in the game minutes later. Brewer was at the heart of it again after her pass found Emma Gilmour breaking into the circle to square for Phillips who scored at the second time of asking.
The away side kept in the game, and deservedly scored an equaliser. Campbell combined with Lauren Edwards, and the former squeezed a push shot through the goalkeeper's legs. The game could have gone either way, with both sides producing decent chances. There were hardworking performances from everyone in an orange shirt but Phillips along with defender Ava Walton put in notably terrific performances for Brewer's side. The home side nearly won the game in the dying seconds, but a short corner strike brought an exceptional save tipped on to the post by L6s goalkeeper Isobel Green, who made a number of key saves during the match.
The L4s are without a win in three Women's West District Division One matches following a 3-1 loss to Glasgow Accies 1s at Upper Windyedge on Saturday.
Marg Taylor scored the L4s only goal from a second phase of a penalty corner to cancel out Accies initial opener. But the home side regained the lead before half time, and doubled their lead in the second half.
The scoreline would remain right until the final whistle, which sees the L4s lose potentially more ground on league leaders Rottenrow 1s.
Three games were called off over the weekend due to frozen pitches.
The Men's 4s on Saturday were cancelled at Linwood against Anchor. The L4s and L5s games on Sunday were also called off.
Previous PostWeekend Preview – 18th/19th/20th JanuaryNext PostWeekend Preview – 25th/26th January


I did the anticipation dance for this one. You know what I mean; I got really excited for it, then I thought to myself, "I'm too excited. It will never live up to my expectations. It's actually going to stink." And back to excitement again. Repeat, D.S. al Coda, etc.
Well. It was AWESOME. I loved it. Now of course I can only speak for myself, and I really like the book, too. But I think that someone who is on the fence about the book could really enjoy this adaptation.
That's one of the nice things about a graphic novel. It is somewhere between book and movie. You get the clear, crisp images without having to read through lots of description. (Tired of marble and topaz, anyone? You won't find them here.) You can literally see what is happening, but at the same time you have the freedom to imagine voices and how lines are delivered.
In my reading, I found Bella a heck of a lot more sassy! When the dialog isn't interrupted by paragraphs of her thoughts, she's pretty snappy. Which is not to say I didn't like hearing her thoughts in the original. I did, and knowing them already adds depth to this version. But seeing the story from a different lens is very fun.
The art is gorgeous. The Cullens are amazingly beautiful, as is appropriate. No crazy wig for Jasper, either. hehe. The only things that pulled me away from the story to think about the artist? Perhaps Bella is a little too good at doing awesome modern hairstyles. Her gorgeous locks made me want to have long hair again so I could try some of the styles, and on one page Bella's old truck has an incredibly modern key. Those old cars have old, small keys (I know, I drove one in H.S.) This key looks like it's got a computer chip in it somewhere.
I love how the color fades in and out. It adds a real element of drama in certain parts of the book. And I imagine that only having color on certain pages made the creation process a lot faster.
Which is good, because I want the next one. See, this is only Vol. 1. It doesn't go all the way through Twilight. That was perhaps the one thing that I never got excited about, in my excitement dance, until I read it. I LOVE where they ended it.
So. Highly recommended for fans of the book and/or movie, or those who thought the story could do with some speeding up. I don't know how someone unexposed to Twilight would enjoy it -- I simply don't have that perspective (and don't know many people I could ask, either). Thumbs up, and can't wait for the next one!
Beehive Awards will be announced soon, and I've finished reading them all...now I just have to write the reviews!
Neal Shusterman has spun a very interesting futuristic tale that gives me the same jitters as Scott Westerfeld's Uglies. Essentially, this is a socio-political commentary, but let's face it, it makes a heck of a story too!
You'll experience near-constant intense anxiety as you follow the story of a few teenagers who are running away from a world that wants to harvest all their body parts for donation to society's needy. Excitement - check. Originiality - mostly check. Violence - double check. Captivating story - check, check, and check.
I consider this book highly worthy of any award nomination, as it is appealing to both genders, hard to put down, and fairly original. Not a bad choice, Beehive nominators!

Vaccination of Koalas with a Recombinant Chlamydia pecorum Major Outer Membrane Protein Induces Antibodies of Different Specificity Compared to Those Following a Natural Live Infection
Kollipara, A | Polkinghorne, A | Beagley, K W | Timms, Peter
Chlamydial infection in koalas is common across the east coast of Australia and causes significant morbidity, infertility and mortality. An effective vaccine to prevent the adverse consequences of chlamydial infections in koalas (particularly blindness and infertility in females) would provide an important management tool to prevent further population decline of this species. An important step towards developing a vaccine in koalas is to understand the host immune response to chlamydial infection. In this study, we used the Pepscan methodology to identify B cell epitopes across the Major Outer Membrane Protein (MOMP) of four C. pecorum strains/genotypes that are recognized, either following (a) natural live infection or (b) administration of a recombinant MOMP vaccine. Plasma antibodies from the koalas naturally infected with a C. pecorum G genotype strain recognised the epitopes located in the variable domain (VD) four of MOMP G and also VD4 of MOMP H. By comparison, plasma antibodies from an animal infected with a C. pecorum F genotype strain recognised epitopes in VD1, 2 and 4 of MOMP F, but not from other genotype MOMPs. When Chlamydia-free koalas were immunised with recombinant MOMP protein they produced antibodies not only against epitopes in the VDs but also in conserved domains of MOMP. Naturally infected koalas immunised with recombinant MOMP protein also produced antibodies against epitopes in the conserved domains. This work paves the way for further refinement of a MOMP-based Chlamydia vaccine that will offer wide cross-protection against the variety of chlamydial infections circulating in wild koala populations.

When a fun night out on the town turns deadly, I quickly discover the quaint little hamlet of Mystic Harbor houses more than sandy beaches and adorable B&Bs. Beneath the New England charm rests a world where shifters, demons, vampires, and angelic hunters all vie for power.

Love this series more than what I thought I would!
By LaShanda Samuels on 01-13-16
For there to be light, you must first suffer the darkness.
The end came at me jagged and skewed like puzzle pieces to a game I didn't know I was playing. There was a distinct method to the madness, every move propagated to force my hand, to lure me out of hiding with the sweet promise of finality. I took solace in knowing that something better waited for me on the other side, something as pure and deep as the ocean itself. But there was no end in sight.
No peace to be found.
The end was only the beginning.
Iniquitous is the heart-pounding third installment in The Marked saga, a fast-paced YA paranormal romance that grapples with love, loss, and self-discovery in a unique supernatural world filled with vampires, witches, shifters, and angels. This book is part of a series and ends in a cliffhanger. Infernal (The Marked, Book 4) is next.

As Good as Dead
What listeners say about Iniquitous
pathetic heroin
main character so stupid and pathetic I can barely stand her. read The Kurtherian Gambit
Brittany Rosen
It's Fine
It's okay. The narrator is TERRIBLE and I feel bad saying it but she really ruined it for me. I often had to stop the book and take a break because her voices are awful and she emphasizes all the wrong words and at the wrong times. She gets better by this book (the first was so bad I almost couldn't finish). My suggestion is to read the series instead of listening to it.
I'll finish the book series just because I started it and I want to know where we end up. I'm a little annoyed at the love triangle, though. The choices are (1) a guy who has done anything in his power to protect her and has loved her from the start, or (2) a guy who forced a relationship on her by deceiving her and then using this manipulation to get what he wants from the relationship when she doesn't want it and then using love as an excuse for his behavior. It's not cute or sexy or anything positive. It's romanticizing a form of abuse and I will lose all respect for the author if the main character ends up with the second guy. It's teaching young woman that a guy can deceive you into a relationship, say his actions are based in love and all is okay. It's honestly really disappointing that this is even an option.
Ellen Mahurin
i refuse to accept how AMAZING this book is, just. wow. like oh my god. my mind is literally splattered on my wall because my brain exploded from how amazing this book is, like, plot twist!
🎀💖🎀😊Happy💥To💥Help🎀💖🎀😊
Absolutely Awesome MORE..!!!
Finally there is a continuation to the previous books and there is also going to be a title following this one. I also think the narrator is good.
The first two books were great!!
The narrator was great, and the first two books kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. The story definitely kept me attention the whole time. The ending was absolutely horrible, and so very very disappointing. Not that I needed a completely happy ending, but it wasn't anything even close. it left me more then disappointed, and if there is another book that follows. I'm not sure I want to read or listen to it. I'm really sorry I spent my money on the three I have now.
DawnB
I found myself getting frustrated
Jemma got on my nerves a lot this book. I found her to be a freaking brat sometimes. She kept saying how she could handle stuff and would get mad, then she couldn't handle stuff 🙄
While the characters are growing on me, I'm not really thrilled with the direction the romance plot is going.
Jemma is also still VERY annoying and her sister is a terrible person.
Loving this Series !!!!
This is a fun series with a little of everything. When audible ran a special on books in a series, I got all 4. I didn't realize there is a 5th book that they don't carry .....please, audible, get the next book ASAP
I'm mad..
While I love!! Love the story and idea. Our main girl is DUMMMB! I mean she gets an award for stupid dumb it all!!! If you can deal don't read ..
Rachael Wilson
Love the books! Narrator is just ok
I loved the books, and sad to see Amazon won't be listing her newest addition to the series coming out later this month. (Check her website or Instagram). The narrator doesn't do male voices very well, but I think it's her naturally girly voice.
some kids are annoying
I like the inescapable destiny theme of the series. The main character can be frustrating at times though and I feel like it took a while for the narrator to get into character. I also like that the author doesn't try to shield the reader from the main characters worser experiences.

Brevard Public Schools and the Brevard Federation of Teachers on Monday announced a tentative agreement on a contract.
Brevard County Schools, teachers' union reach tentative contract agreement
By Spectrum News Staff Brevard County
PUBLISHED 11:15 PM ET Nov. 15, 2021 PUBLISHED 11:15 PM EST Nov. 15, 2021
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Brevard Public Schools and the Brevard Federation of Teachers on Monday came to a tentative contract agreement, the district and the union announced.
Brevard schools, teachers' union agree on a tentative contract
The proposal still must be approved by union members, the school board
The agreement calls for a one-time $2,000 premium payment to teachers
Instructors with at least 12 years at BPS will get $1,100 more
The proposed contract still must be ratified by union members and approved by the school board.
Among the terms of the agreement are a one-time $2,000 payment for teachers' performance and dedication to students and an additional one-time payment of $1,100 for teachers who have worked for the district for at least 12 years, according to a statement released by the district.
BPS also agreed to pay a $1,000 supplement to teachers who work at schools with 9-hour workdays and a special rate of pay for Saturday morning training. The district also said it would add $71,000 to the budget to maintain one salary schedule for teachers, the statement said.
Health benefits were also bolstered as part of the agreement. The district will make $3.79 million in recurring payments to the health insurance trust fund to avoid health-care premium increases and a $6.2 million one-time infusion payment to the health insurance trust fund to hold off health-care premium increases.
Brevard Public Schools' total compensation to the Brevard Federation of Teachers will be $24.3 million, the district said.
"We are pleased that BPS offered significant one-time bonuses to all teachers, despite substantial budgetary challenges, while recognizing the inequity in salary increases for our veteran educators," BFT President Anthony S. Colucci said in a statement.

AGF Malami denies asking Buhari to suspend constitution
The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has denied writing a 'secret memo' to President Muhammadu Buhari to suspend the nation's constitution over the growing insecurity in the country.
Malami, who described himself as a champion of "Pro-Constitutional Democracy", said he is an ardent believer of rule of law and democracy.
An online medium, Peoples Gazette reported on Wednesday that AGF Malami had reportedly written a legal advice to President Buhari to declare a nationwide state of emergency and suspend the constitution as part of the government efforts in arresting growing insecurity in the country.
Report: AGF Malami Writes 'Secret Memo' To Buhari, Seeks Suspension Of Nigerian Constitution Over Insecurity
Biafra Day: MASSOB faults Buhari's SE, SS shoot-at-sight order, says no one can crush Biafra
The medium alleged that Malami specifically suggest to the President to suspend Chapter IV of the Constitution which guaranteed the fundamental rights of all Nigerians to remove legal impediments in the fight against insecurity.
The eight-page "secret memo" dated May 4, 2021, the Minister of Justice advised Buhari that insecurity across Nigeria had reached a level that could no longer be checked by existing democratic techniques.
According to the alleged "secret memo", "The essence of declaration is to allow for suspension of constitutional and legal bureaucratic bottlenecks pertaining to matters of National Security with particular regards to fundamental rights guaranteed under Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution and processes and procedures relating to procurements, among others.
But Malami in a statement while reacting to the report on Thursday, described the alleged "secret memo" as false and never emanated from his office.
The statement signed by the Minister's Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, was titled "I am Pro-Constitutional Democracy- Malami."
"The attention of the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has been drawn to a false and fictitious report alleging that there was a secret memo emanating from the Office to the Presidency.
"General publics are hereby asked to disregard the media report as fabrications of anti-constitutional democratic stability in Nigeria.
"Malami remains a true democrat who believes in rules of law and tenant of democracy and Constitutional order.
The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice is a constitutionally recognised one with its role and responsibilities embedded in the constitution.
It is antithetical to common sense to think that the holder of such coveted Office as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice will stoop to what was printed by the media.
"The Government does not operate in secrecy as it is not a clandestine operation. Hence, Malami discharges his constitutionally recognized mandates in compliance with principles of transparency, openness and accountability", the statement read.

Sometimes, you need to be flexible with your business model if you want to get ahead. This isn't the sort of flexibility that comes with letting customers customize their orders. Instead, the idea is to modify how your business operates as conditions suggest.
Online media companies have experimented with many approaches to content: all free, all paid, or a mix of the two. However, they tend to use static business models. The company finds its mix and then sticks with it. But Kanishka Misra, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, and Anja Lambrecht of the London Business School suggest that more flexibility would be key to better performance.
For example, ESPN.com could see more revenue by putting more of its articles about a particular sport on paid status during the off-season. According to the researchers, people reading about a sport during the off-season are more passionate and willing to pay for news. During the season for a given sport, however, more people are less willing to pay for content. By making more content freely available, the site can increase its advertising revenue.

The business judgment rule has been a centerpiece of corporate law for almost two centuries. But over the last several decades, courts and commentators have struggled to find a rationale for the business judgment rule that, at once, reconciles the judicial deference granted to corporate managers with the more demanding standards applied to other professionals, such as doctors and lawyers. This Article attempts to end this struggle by offering a fuller account of the relationship between the preferences of diversified shareholders, on the one hand, and liability rules, on the other. Based on this account, this Article contends that the protections of the business judgment rule are necessary to address a concern unique to the corporate setting: the need to prevent diversifiable risk from dominating agent (i.e., managerial) decision making.

J.K. Rowling's first Harry Potter book was released in the UK in 1997 and created a phenomenon that has lead to the sale of over 500 million books, in the 7 book series. Going back to the beginning, Rowling sells the rights to the series in 1999 for a mere £1 million. By the time that the first movie is released in 2001, there are 4 of the books in the series have already been released and in fact, every movie released will have the next book in the series already out. This means, for every Harry Potter film, there is never a time when people watching them, either don't already know what happened, because they'd read the books or they could easily go and read online what they missed.
This gives the Harry Potter filmmakers a lot of freedom. If you've read the books and seen the movies, you know how much of the story is left out. Especially as you get to Prisoner of Azkaban and beyond, whole storylines are absent from the films and even what's there is rushed for time since they didn't seem to want every movie be 3 hours long. Quick example, the end of Order of the Phoenix, and one of the most important chapters in the book is The Lost Prophecy. It's arguably the most important chapter in the series as it's finally the place where Harry truly understands his connection with Voldemort and what is to come, "…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…". Yet the movie only gives about a minute to a minute and a half to this pivotal moment. The filmmakers rely heavily on the audience to fill in the gaps with their preexisting knowledge from the books or leave it open for them to look online for answers. The movies, for all their visual wonder are truncated versions of Rowling's epic.
Why do I bring all of this up?
When the first Fantastic Beasts movie came out, I began to hear rumblings in the fandom that Rowling had lost her touch. It's a criticism that has only gotten louder in some corners of the fandom with the release of Crimes Of Grindelwald. And one of the reasons why I think this is happening is because we've forgotten what it was like to be in Rowling's world and not already have all the answers.
I started reading the books just as the fourth one was released, so I was part of that long wait for the fifth, sixth and seventh books. Like most fans, I was part of the midnight parties, waiting in line for the book, taking it home and devouring it as quickly as possible so I could then talk to my friends and those online about what I thought it all meant and speculate where it would all go next. It was half the fun of the series.
I can distinctly remember waiting for what would be called, Half-Blood Prince, talking with fans who were just sure it would be call, The Pillars of Storgé. Of course they were wrong, but the conversations had between fans then, was all about their favorite series and the speculation happened because we couldn't wait to find out what Rowling had in store for Harry and his friends. Most importantly, we trusted Rowling as a writer. She'd already shown us her ability to weave a narrative, as well as truly surprise us.
So, what's changed? Why are people so angry at Rowling and what she's doing with Fantastic Beasts? Why have we forgotten the fun of eagerly waiting for the next installment of her work, all while having the time of our lives trying to figure out, from the breadcrumbs she's laid, where the story goes next? We know she is a master at using the tiniest detail to create something completely unexpected and wonderful. I mean, Deathly Hallows the is the proof. If you look at the structure of her screenplays, it's very similar to how she wrote her books. You can feel the structure with the way she creates mystery, places people and things in the movies that might not be as important yet, but will play a larger role later. Then, she throws you for a loop by upending the mystery, explaining how what you thought was happening wasn't quite right.
So what's changed? I think the answer is that we're spoiled. We've forgotten what it's like to wait for things. We live in a binge culture. In fact, many people actually wait for a series to be over so they can start them and not have to wait. But this has hurt our ability to just enjoy what's been given to us and wait for what comes next.
Secondly, the binge culture has also lead to the rise of militant fandoms who obsess about everything and begin to place themselves as gatekeepers over franchises and gods of the created universes they didn't create. In fact it's become common place to see people demean someone like Rowling or Lucas for "messing something up" in THEIR universes. Can you imagine Tolkien in the age of social media? He'd be crucified for retconning The Hobbit so that it fit better with Lord of the Rings. I mean the guy literally rewrote parts of his previous book to work with his larger mythology.
This sense of entitlement and peevishness is destroying our ability to enjoy things. As creators continue on in their creations, there may be things that change over time, but shouldn't they be given the freedom to do that? It is their work after all. So what if Rowling has decided that McGonagall is older than we thought, does that really hurt anything? If she expands on what we know of boggarts, the Mirror of Erised or anything else, what's wrong with that? Why do we think that just because we know something about a part of Rowling's universe that we know everything? She's continued to reveal things she knows about her creation that we do not and telling the creator they are wrong or have messed something up is the height of arrogance. In many ways, we've forgotten how to be okay with not knowing everything and having someone, other than ourselves be the arbiter of what's "canon".
The act of creating mythology, universes and stories is one that's always evolving. As much as Rowling knows about her universe, and from all reports, in every interview with the other people involved in both film series I've seen or read, she knows almost everything, down to the smallest detail but she's also still human. Like every author and creator, there will be things she'll discover about her world as she expands it and she should be given the freedom to do so. Creation is a shear act of will, it's been said, but it's never been said to be perfect (unless you're God), so maybe we can remember that as we wait for the next film in the Fantastic Beasts series. She has 3 more movies to answer our questions, therefore we cannot expect to have all the answers now, especially when we don't have books to pull off our shelves to "spoil" the end.
Look for reviews of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald on The 602 Club and Cinema Stories podcasts.

Bradley Cooper has established himself as one of the best actors in Hollywood, versatile and adaptable, he's made a name for himself in his serious dramatic roles, as well as comedy. Now Cooper is flexing a different muscle, as his directorial debut A Star is Born drops and it has garnered significant critical praise, with the talk of Academy Awards swirling around the film like a cyclone.
It's a clear admission from the character that what he's doing in life is not working, but that the road of change, even trying to change is hard. It takes everything in us as humans to make that 180, especially when we find ourselves so addicted to and wrapped up in things that it becomes almost impossible for us to see ourselves without those vices.
The theme is further accentuated when Ally shares the lyrics of a song she's been writing with Jack in a parking lot and they capture the essence of the problem perfectly.
Nobody speaks to God these days.
The movie paints the portrait of a life spent in the futility of longing and it is heartbreaking.
Cooper's debut as director is authentic and real. The film feels as raw as it is characters, which is exactly what is needed. The performances are stellar. Cooper and Gaga shine in their roles. Cooper has always found ways to disappear into his performance, but it is Gaga that truly transcends. Her persona of Lady Gaga is hard to forget, but her performance here makes you forget all of that and see only the character of Ally. Sam Elliott as Cooper's brother is perfect casting.
Bradley Cooper has created a wonderful remake, showing that you can bring something fresh and timely to old material if one pours their heart and soul into it. The film is affecting, with resonant themes, incredible performances, great music and will leave you with a melancholy that's hard to shake. A Star is Born is rated 4.25 out of 5 stars.

This review was originally seen on The Star Wars Report.
It's been a good year for Star Wars books. Most Wanted, Thrawn: Alliances, and The Mighty Chewbacca and the Forest of Fear are just a few examples of the good stories that have been released. This month Del Rey released the novelization of Solo and, like they did with The Last Jedi, it's an "Expanded Edition." An "Expanded Edition" means it contains deleted scenes incorporated back into the story, as well as extensions to existing material seen in the film. This tactic worked well for The Last Jedi, whose novelization was better than its source material.
So the question is, does it work again with Solo? Thankfully the answer is a resounding yes!
Murr Lafferty has seamlessly integrated the new material with what was seen in the movie to create something truly special. She masterfully takes what was there and accentuates everything you wanted to know more about while watching the film. Han, Qi'ra, Beckett, Chewie, L3, Enfys Nest, and almost every other character in the film benefit from added time spent with them, as well as the added bonus of being privy to their thoughts. It cannot be overstated just how much fun it is to be back in this story with new material that adds to the depth and richness of the Solo part of the Star Wars galaxy.
The rest of this review could spend the next few paragraphs laying out all the additions the novelization has, but there would be no fun in that. Part of the joy of reading this book is the delight in not knowing exactly what has been expanded. The highest praise this book could be given is how deftly it shows the fertile playground the underworld is in the Star Wars universe. It'll leave readers longing to watch Solo again and to see more Solo films that continue the story. Solo is a must read and is rated 4.75 out of 5 stars.
This review was completed using a copy of Solo: A Star Wars Story provided by Del Rey.

Bo Burnham's directorial debut Eighth Grade is the most uncomfortable, real and important movie of the summer. The film follows Kayla Day as eighth grade comes to a close and life is on the brink of another titanic shift from middle school to high school. What follows is an intimate look at the life of kids today, who must navigate the digital deluge all while trying to figure out who they are and who they'll be.
Eighth Grade is a raw movie. It offers an uncompromising and unflattering look at the state of adolescence in the United States in the 2010s. These are the children of the digital revolution, with iDevices in their hands before they can walk. For them there has never been a moment without some form of entertainment at their fingertips. Constantly inundated with images and messages, their perceptions of reality are filtered through Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook. The struggle to be "cool", with its ever-changing standard, is real. The digital domain is pervasive, so that even when these kids are hanging out with each other, it's usually half-heartedly, lest they miss something coming in from the never-ending stream of social media conscientiousness. It's a lonely way to live, constantly being reminded that you're never going to be good enough, skinny enough, funny, hip or cool enough.
It's said that information is power, yet this generation has all the information of the world in the palm of their hands but lacks the wisdom or experience to use it well. They know way to much, way too early and are in turn forced to think about and deal with things they are just not mature enough to handle. This 24/7 marination in pop culture makes it difficult for anything else to impact them on the same level. How can parents hope to have anywhere close to the same influence when time is not on their side? The movie does not have many answers, but it does shine a light on something parents are going to have to start addressing as the film shows just how harmful these devices of unlimited potential can be on children.
Throughout the film Kayla makes YouTube videos. They are little vignettes of advice on all the things she portrays herself to be an expert on, yet the rest of the film shows she's anything but. She's constantly being told that she should be all of these different things through social media and, consequently, she is lost. She has no idea who she is or wants to be beyond what she's told is "cool". So each day she works to earn the friendship and respect of others based on what she thinks people want. It's exhausting for her.
Throughout the film, the one person who's tried to truly interact with Kayla has been her father. He tries to talk to her and get to know who she is, but she constantly rejects his help and love until the end of the film. When Kayla finds herself at the end of her rope, she finally asks for her father's help to burn something in the back yard. As they sit there, watching her sixth grade time capsule burn, he asks her what they are doing. She answers that she's burning her hopes and dreams. She then asks him if he is sad to have her as a daughter. It's a powerful moment as he begins to tell her how much joy she brings him, how unconditionally she is loved and that he's always been honored to have her as his daughter. In that moment she climbs into his lap and is held in the arms of love. This moment brings a change in Kayla. She lets go of her videos and the need to be "cool". It's almost as if her father's words of acceptance have nestled into her heart and freed her from the need to earn the acceptance of others.
There is a bit of beautiful Biblical truth in this scene. Isaiah reminds us that all of us, like sheep have gone astray, we've searched for everything under the sun to fulfill us and make us whole. Yet there is only one thing that can and because of this God has laid on Christ, the sin of us all, to allow us the opportunity, like prodigals to run back into his arms. Kayla's rejection of "cool" and acceptance of love brings to mind Psalm 139, we are wonderfully made by a heavenly Father to be something unique, fully known and fully loved by the creator of the universe. Truth and reality are not defined by the forever-changing concept of "cool" but by God, who is the same yesterday, today and forever and his love never ends.
If you are someone that works with youth, if you are a parent, if you have children this age or will have, this movie is one you should see. In fact, if you have children this age, you should see this movie with them and talk about it together. This is an important film that takes seriously the ways in which our changing world is impacting the coming generations. It's painful to watch sometimes, but ultimately rewarding. Eighth Grade is rated 4.5 out of 5.

In a world inundated by franchise films, many of them failing to live up to the hype or even their predecessors, it is truly rare that a sixth movie in a series could be a contender for the of best in the series. It's not completely unprecedented Star Trek VI is argued by many to be the best as is Revenge of the Sith, but these films are outliers in the malaise of mediocrity that is franchise filmmaking. With this in mind, if someone had told you 22 years ago when the first Mission Impossible film was released that the sixth installment would still be staring Tom Cruise at the age of 56 and that it would be the best in the series, people would have laughed in your face. Yet against all odds, this is exactly what Christopher McQuarrie has pulled off with Fallout. It is truly one of the rare sequels that not only lives up to the hype but surpasses it.
The cast is outstanding. McQuarrie has found a way to have every character in this film have a purpose, no one here is just for fan service. On top of this, Tom Cruise is like a fine wine that's been aged perfectly, it's hard to oversell just how good he is in this role. Plus, his stunt work is mind-blowing. His chemistry with Rebecca Ferguson is electric and she, in her own right, nails everything she does in this film. Newcomers Henry Cavill and Vanessa Kirby are outstanding. Cavill is making his case, along with his portrayal in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., for the next Bond. Kirby is delightful as the "White Widow" and worth addition to the Mission Impossible universe. In fact her scene with Cruise is one of the best of the film.
There is so much that could be said about this film, but it's best experienced on the biggest screen you can find. Mission Impossible: Fallout is a true edge-of-the-seat triller, that will have you guessing, clenching the arm rests and feeling exhilarated as you exit the theater. Go see this movie, in the theater. Fallout is rated 5 out of 5 stars.
