Joy Division were a post-punk band formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. Originally named Warsaw, the band consisted of Ian Curtis (vocals and occasional guitar), Bernard Sumner (guitar and keyboards), Peter Hook (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Stephen Morris (drums and percussion). The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis.
Joy Division (Factory, 1979)This was the first and only time that the band gave me something that they’d like for a cover. I went to see Rob Gretton, who managed them, and he gave me a folder of material, which contained the wave image from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy. They gave me the title too but I didn’t hear the album. The wave pattern was so appropriate. It was from CP 1919, the first pulsar, so it’s likely that the graph emanated from Jodrell Bank, which is local to Manchester and Joy Division. And it’s both technical and sensual . Joy Division (Factory, 1980)Peter Saville: This cover for the band’s second album was like a work of antiquity, but inside is a vinyl album, so it’s a postmodern juxtaposition of a contemporary work housed in the antique. At first, I didn’t believe the photo was an actual tomb but it’s really in a cemetery in Genoa.
Unknown Pleasures is a perfect introduction to Joy Division. The first thing you hear is that ragged yet mechanical drumbeat and a few guitar and bass tones. And then this weird voice comes in, singing I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand. It’s like the start of a story . Some of the tracks near the end of the album seem to be leftovers from their punk days, and despite some vaguely interesting lyrics they don’t create a lot of atmosphere. The last track, I Remember Nothing, has a very cool breaking-glass loop used as percussion, but overstays its welcome by a few minutes. And I never need to hear the song Candidate again. Comparing a relationship to a political campaign is simply not an interesting theme for a song
Produced by Martin Hannett. This song first appeared on A Factory Sample, the first vinyl record released by Factory Records. It was also the last song played live by Joy Division at their Birmingham University show, just over two weeks before Ian Curtis’s death.

India’s Look East Policy has been a notable success since it was announced in 1991, increasing trade with Asean more than tenfold to more than $70 billion. The rapid rise in trade has led to a new focus on the country’s once-neglected Northeast, which is being transformed into a gateway to East and Southeast Asia.
“It is a transformation from a barrier to a bridge. Northeast India now offers numerous opportunities for foreign investors, particularly those neighbouring countries, whether in infrastructure development, agriculture, food processing or tourism and hospitality sectors,” said Abhijit Barooah, co-chairman of the North East Council of the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII).
Northeastern India had long been considered underdeveloped and politically unstable, and was overlooked in government development plans for many years, Mr Barooah told Asia Focus during a recent seminar in Bangkok.
All that has changed in the past decade. According to data from the CII, over the past five years the northeastern region has been growing at about 8% per year, more than the national average. The central government has even made it a policy that every department has to devote at least 10% of its budgetary allocation each year to the Northeast region.
However, Mr Barooah stressed that the most important success factors will be better infrastructure, logistics services and power generation — areas the Delhi government sees as a priority.
A cornerstone of the new development is the 3,200-kilometre Trilateral Highway, linking Thailand and Myanmar with India, which is scheduled to be completed sometime in 2016, including more than 1,600km of newly built or improved roads.
The upgraded road link, along with upgrading of 71 bridges by India, will allow freight and container trucks to travel from India to Myanmar and down to northern Thailand.
“India is very keen on enhancing its engagement with Asean. Connectivity, either by land or sea, will play a crucial role in boosting trade and investment flows in the region,” India’s Ambassador to Thailand, Anil Wadhwa, explained during the same seminar.
“We are planning to conclude more free trade agreements which will not only cover goods but will expand to include investments and services to reduce trade barriers between India and Asean.”
Mr Wadhwa said Thailand was seen as a “springboard” for Indian investors to jump into Southeast Asia. Currently, there are about 70 Indian companies with total investments worth US$2.5 billion doing business in the Kingdom.
However, the number of Thai companies investing in India is still very limited. Therefore, he encouraged more Thai investors to start looking for business opportunities in India, particularly the Northeast region, where Thai companies have high capacity to excel.
“With its proximity to Southeast Asian markets, and being home to diverse kind of fruits, the Northeastern region has high potential to emerge as major centre for the food processing industry,” Mr Barooah noted.
“Moreover, better food storage systems will enable the region to deal with a relatively high food waste problem in the area. I believe this will provide a lot of opportunities for foreign companies.”
He said proper storage facilities were essential to extend shelf life and reduce waste, not only for fruits and vegetables but also for many other resources. As well, quality control is poor and branding knowledge limited among local people. This is an essential field in which Thai companies have high potential given their experience in food processing, packaging and adding value to products, said Mr Barooah.
Northeast India is also home to about two-thirds of the country’s bamboo resources spread over 3 million hectares. According to data from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, India has 30% of the world’s bamboo resources but only a 4% share of the global bamboo market. This is mainly because of low productivity.
Bamboo in the Northeast is usually put only to traditional uses, such as handicrafts and paper-making. The government has announced a mission to promote the Northeast for bamboo-based industry, which will provide huge opportunities for investors.
With many essential infrastructure developments under way within the region of about 44 million people, and the building of further connectivity between the Northeast and the rest of India and with Asean, the economic potential of this area offers numerous opportunities.
Being potentially one of the richest geographical areas of the country with rich natural resources of both food and energy, the Northeast is a strategic location for international trade. With the right approach to marketing and rebranding, Northeast India is going through a transition to become a business and tourism hub of South Asia as well as a corridor and transit route to Southeast Asia.

Adoptee helps others find their roots
LUMBERTON — Pam Slaton always knew she was adopted. She felt special for having been “chosen” by loving parents.
Still, as a teenager, she decided to search for her biological mother. Told she couldn’t be given the information then, she waited until she was 18 to pursue the truth about her parentage.
“I was born to a 16-year-old who hid the pregnancy until she gave birth,” Slaton said.
Her natural mother placed her in foster care until she was adopted at 10 months old.
For 12 years, Slaton searched for the woman. Then, as a 30th birthday present, her husband, Michael, hired a private investigator.
“He knew it meant a lot to me,” she said.
The detective found the woman in just a few days, and Slaton contacted her.
“Unfortunately, it was a very volatile exchange,” she said. “She didn’t want to be found.”
When Slaton located her natural father, she learned that, unlike what she had been told about a forcible encounter, her biological mother had been in a relationship with her biological father and gave birth to a second daughter, Kathy, a year after Slaton was born. Kathy also was placed for adoption.
The two sisters are now friends, as is a younger half-sister whom her natural mother had as one of five children she raised.
“This is the first time my baby sister is at my house,” Slaton said Friday as she entertained that sister, Laura.
Through her own experience, Slaton has set up a genealogy service and has helped more than 3,000 people searching for their biological parents or children.
“I have a knack for this,” she said.
She helped Darryl McDaniels of the hip-hop group Run DMC produce a documentary, “My Adoption Journey,” about his search for his biological parents after learning he was adopted at age 35.
“I assisted him in locating his mother,” she said. “The documentary won an Emmy.”
She has been interviewed on “Nightline” and participated in a 10-episode documentary called “Searching For ...” that appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Now she has released a book called “Reunited,” written with the help of Samantha Marshall, a professional writer from New York.
Published by St. Martin’s Press, it’s available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and other booksellers.
The book is about her own quest and memorable searches undertaken by other adoptees.
“It’s a reflection on relationships,” Slaton said, as well as her way to help people understand the dynamics of searches and reunions.
“Even when our childhoods are perfect, with wonderful adoptive parents and tight-knit, nurturing families, the desire to know is always there, lurking under the surface,” she wrote in the introduction to her book. “We can’t escape it.”
When her biological father returned her call after hearing that she was looking for him, Slaton found it amazing and comforting.
“He acknowledged me,” she said.

Tyson Fury has predicted that his brother Tommy Fury will stop Jake Paul within six rounds when the pair finally clash in Saudi Arabia on February 26.
Fury was ringside on Saturday, as his brother and Paul faced off in the ring and traded words ahead of their highly-anticipated dust-up, which has fallen through twice before.
The WBC heavyweight world champion insists Tommy, who last fought in April on the undercard of his victory over Dillian Whyte at Wembley Stadium, will inflict a first loss on Paul’s professional record in emphatic fashion.
“I think Tommy knocks him out inside six rounds,” Fury told Sky Sports.
“Tommy hits and hurts me [in sparring] and I’m 20st and 6ft 9” and heavyweight champion of the world.
“I know when he hits Jake. I dont want to say too much, because I don’t want the fight to fall through, but he hits really hard.
“When Tommy wins he can fight KSI or Jake Paul or whoever, whoever they want to fight.
“Whether they can fight in more celebrity boxing like this and Jake Paul, he could lose to Tommy three times in a row and still fight some MMA guy or another boxer and make plenty of money out of it.”
Paul addressed the assembled media at a press conference at the OVO Arena in Wembley on Saturday following the conclusion of Artur Beterbiev’s eighth round stoppage win over Anthony Yarde, but was critical of his rival who was not present.
‘The Problem Child’, who is undefeated in his first six professional bouts, will fight a recognised professional boxer for the first time in his career in Riyadh, with his last fight a unanimous decision win over former UFC star, Anderson Silva in October.
‘The Gypsy King’ admits Tommy, 23, cannot afford to underestimate the American YouTube sensation.
“He’s got to take it really seriously,” the 34-year-old added.
“He can’t just go to the ice cream parlour and not train.
“He’s got to really focus and have the right sparring and everything and then he’s got to do the job when he’s in there, because it’s not just the opponent.
“If you take the opponent out of the equation, there’s big pressure and it’s in a big stadium and they’re top of the bill and all that sort of stuff.
“The thrills and spills of big time boxing sometimes get to them.
“So it’s going to be interesting to see if Tommy can handle that pressure which I know he can, but it’s going to be interesting to see him do it in front of the world.”

Greenwood Community Meeting and Listening Session
Posted on September 2nd, 2014
The American Veterans Auditorium in the Greenwood County Library was the location of a Community Meeting hosted by Healthy Learners, the Healthy Learners Board of Trustees and Friends of Healthy Learners Greenwood, in conjunction with a Listening Session hosted by the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina on August 27, 2014. The purpose of the meeting was two-fold, to discuss the sustainability of the Healthy Learners Greenwood program and to share the direct impact of the program with the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina. The meeting allowed an opportunity to provide new insights and solutions, which will hopefully result in a higher level of contributions and commitments to the continuation of the program.
John Heydel, resident of Greenwood and chair of the Healthy Learners Board of Trustees opened the meeting stating, “Today is all about the health and well-being of our children, “our future”! Heydel noted the Healthy Learners Greenwood expansion into Greenwood School District #51 (Ware Shoals) and recognized Faye Sprouse, Ph.D., the Superintendent of Greenwood School District #51. The Healthy Learners Board of Trustees treasurer, Rich Williams, shared that the current operating budget for the Greenwood program is $195,605 and that there is still a need for the program in the Greenwood community to provide access to health care for school children. “We know that our program is mission driven, cost effective, and does not duplicate the services offered by any other non-profit organization,” said Williams. Healthy Learners Greenwood provider, Mary Haigler, DMD, talked about the impact of Healthy Learners on the community and the children served by Healthy Learners. A powerful, compelling parent testimonial was given by Jennifer Todd as she expressed her appreciation to Healthy Learners for the access to health care and coordination of services for her son. Dru James, Friend of Healthy Learners Greenwood, Community Advocate, and long-term supporter commented on her belief in the Healthy Learners service delivery model, which allows the children to receive the access to health care they so desperately need, often, in record time as reported by teachers and school nurses in the Healthy Learners End of Year Surveys.
As Nancy Moore, Greenwood School District 50 Lead School Nurse, and Friend of Healthy Learners Greenwood presented her plea for support, she invited the local community leaders that served with Healthy Learners Greenwood since its inception in 2005 to stand, as well as past Advisory Board members, those that have sponsored fundraisers and the Friends of Healthy Learners Greenwood. Moore also thanked all of the generous and dedicated donors from Greenwood with a special thank you to Self Regional Healthcare and Jim Pfeiffer, Self Family Foundation, Frank Wideman, Mamie Nicholson, and the Self Family, The United Way of Greenwood and Abbeville Counties, Bill and Connie Timmons Foundation, Greenwood Community Foundation, and the Greenwood Rotary Club. In addition, Moore reported that since 2005, when Healthy Learners Greenwood began to operate, the program has provided 1,136 children with access to 6,633 health care services, more than 79,371 miles have been traveled transporting children to and from health care appointments, picking up and delivering their medications and glasses, and following up as necessary, while a total of 9,115.85 hours haven been spent delivering the services to the children. Medications have been the most requested service, followed closely by dental services. “For every $1.00 invested by Healthy Learners Greenwood, there is a Return of Investment of $3.27,” said Moore. Greenwood School District #50 Superintendent, Community Partner, and Friend of Healthy Learners Greenwood, Darrell Johnson expressed the importance, value, and appreciation of the school district’s partnership with Healthy Learners.
Immediately following the Community Meeting, Tom Keith, President of the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina and his staff talked with families, school administrators, school nurses and board members as they shared their experience with the Healthy Learners program.
Healthy Learners thanked the community for their participation and support. Click here to view video clip of Community Meeting and Listening Session.

Li+ codoping of Gd3(Ga, Al)5O12:Ce (GGAG:Ce) single crystals induces the acceleration of scintillation decay time. However, its effect on the scintillation properties of GGAG:Ce remains poorly understood. Herein, the relationship between Ce/Li concentration and scintillation properties is investigated. GGAG crystals with a range of Ce and Li concentrations are grown by the Czochralski method and the scintillation decay and light output of GGAG:Ce, Li are measured. The results show comparable or improved performance compared with conventional scintillators. In optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, the conversion of the stable Ce3+ to Ce4+ is not observed in a clear manner in GGAG:Ce samples with variable Li concentration. Instead, some defect-related absorption seems to appear. Temperature dependence of PL decay for samples with variable Ce concentration is also evaluated. A shift of the luminescence quenching temperature is observed for GGAG samples with >0.2% Ce.

Building Engines Blog | Operations & Management | Cost Efficiency
I suppose I feel a little like Penn and Teller – about to share secrets from the murky world of sales, exposing my peers in SaaS technology companies and incurring their wrath. But if it makes for good ratings (or shares/retweets in this case) I’m told it’s worth it by my marketing colleagues.
Do you dread planning your property’s holiday schedule? Coordinating tenant occupancy, staffing needs, and building operations can often be a hassle, involving multiple emails, phone calls and stacks of paper work.
We are proud to announce that BUILDINGS magazine has selected our web and mobile property management software as a 2014 Money-Saving Product winner. We are part of an elite group showcased in the magazine’s June 2014 issue.
As we approach Memorial Day Weekend, temperatures are finally starting to heat up and signs of summer are rolling in. It also marks that time of year when commercial real estate property owners and managers need ensure that their buildings are ready the seasonal changes in order to avoid unexpected issues or costs.
So you’ve been evaluating property management platforms and you’re thisclose to making a decision. Next up on your to-do list: getting a firm price proposal.
As we approach the New Year, commercial real estate property managers and owners everywhere are looking for ways to enhance their revenue. With budget season in full swing, one such way to do this is through tenant service bill-backs.
As temperatures drop and the cold months linger, property owners and managers are tasked with combatting rising energy costs. Sufficiently heating a commercial real estate building can often drain the wallet – but it doesn’t have to. We’ve compiled a list of the top eight tips for saving money this season.
It’s budget season and every dollar matters today and in 2014. To help enhance your revenue, we have released the Lunch-Break Guide to Tenant Service Bill-Backs.
Solar power has long been considered a potential solution to rising energy costs, but commercial buildings often have limited space available to place the large cells needed to capture sufficient amounts of sunlight. All of that may change as scientists from the University of California Los Angeles announced they have developed a see-through solar film that could eventually be used on windows, according to Fox News.
A concern for the environment is placing pressure on businesses in every industry to develop sustainable practices. For property managers, environmentally-friendly services and programs are a way to improve tenant satisfaction and reduce expenses.
A growing number of owners recognize the potential in property and tenant management tools. Rather than view these tools only of concern to property managers, savvy owners recognize that operations management platforms can help them boost the value of their assets.
Growth in several key industries is helping the commercial real estate market bounce back quickly, but the additional activity could make it difficult for buyers to secure the properties they want.
Tracking energy use with building management software enables owners to make better decisions when it comes to large-scale projects, like the installation of solar panels.
Companies are looking to reduce their energy usage as a way to save money and help the environment, which is creating increased demand for sustainable commercial buildings.
Building managers could benefit from ensuring they have proper coverage for their properties as the high costs of damage within impacted areas is causing an increase in insurance premiums.


About 23% of people living in Sub-Saharan Africa don’t have access to toilets while 31% with toilets use one’s that aren’t connected to a formal sanitation system. This means that more than half the people in sub-Saharan Africa live without proper sanitation – that’s about 570 million people.
One of the problems is that existing toilets aren’t a good fit for parts of sub-Saharan Africa because many areas lack water and there are often no proper plumbing or facilities to treat wastewater.
But there are solutions – toilets that are designed differently. We have come up with some innovative designs overcome the two biggest challenges – excessive use of water, and the fact that urine and faeces aren’t considered as resources.
The designs we suggest have a number of key features. Primarily, they use no water and store and treat urine and faeces separately. They include innovative technologies that reduce water and energy consumption – both vital steps if we’re going to start building smarter, greener cities.
Problems with current designs
Every flush by a typical toilet sends about six to 16 litres of fresh water to wastewater treatment centres. That’s a lot of water. The average total water consumption per person in Africa is about 20 litres a day.
On top of this, the treatment of waste uses up a huge amount of energy – about three to 15 kWh. This energy is being used to provide fresh water from different sources – like dams – for the flushing process and to treatthe produced wastewater. It’s a huge amount of energy given the fact that we need only about 2kWh to charge a smart phone over a whole year.
The process of treating wastewater, so that it can be recycled and reused, is expensive because urine and faeces are mixed at the source. This makes treatment lengthy, expensive and power intensive. It’s also bad because there are valuable elements in human waste – like nitrogen and phosphorous – that aren’t being extracted and reused.
The cost of a more innovative toilet system can be higher than others – like pit latrines – but it really depends on the raw construction materials like concrete and wood. Tanks and other parts can also be made through locally available materials – like jerrycans. But once it’s built, the operation and maintenance process is easy and can be done by local labours.
Separate waste: Our main idea, when it comes to improving toilets, is to view urine and faeces as a resource instead of waste. Nutrients from human waste – which can be used as a fertiliser to grow crops – can be removed during the treatment process through better management and technology.
To take advantage of this, the urine must be separated from the faeces. There are many toilets around the world that already do this. In some Asian countries, like Korea, Japan and Vietnam, it’s a traditional mechanism.
These toilets look similar to normal ones but there are two different inlets that store the waste in different tanks. Here they can be treated to remove smell and increase their fertility.
It’s a highly efficient process which doesn’t need complicated infrastructure and reduces the time needed for the treatment of waste. The system saves a huge amount of water and energy, which is beneficial to many local governments that are already under pressure.
Waterless: For most existing toilets, water is essential for flushing and draining. But it’s possible to have a waterless toilet. Again, the toilet must collect the urine separately from the faeces. Instead of flushing, the faeces and urine are separated from the source using urine-diverting dry toilets. These toilets are available in both sitting or squatting models and take advantage of the anatomy of the human body, which excretes urine and faeces separately. The urine is kept separate and drained via a basin with a small hole near the front of the toilet bowl or squatting pan, while faeces fall through a larger drop-hole at the rear.
Enhance waste: When waste is separated and collected into tanks, microbes can be added to them which ‘nitrify’ the waste – making it a better fertiliser – and control any bad smells from the toilet.
Community support: If these toilets are used communally they can bring huge social and economic benefits for communities. While common toilet systems are expensive to maintain, and pit latrines can be public health hazards, these systems are safe and can provide an excellent source of fertiliser for groups that grow their own food, or produce food for markets.
As African cities grow and develop, and pressure on natural resources and infrastructure – like sewerage – increase, these systems offer a sustainable and more hygienic way forward.

Q: How long is President Bush willing to be patient with the Chinese government as we negotiate for the release of the 24 American crewmembers?
Koppel: Senior State Department officials say that President Bush is growing impatience over Chinas continued detention of 24 American crew members should have been reflected in his remarks at the White House. In particular, officials point to the Presidents implication that the longer the standoff continues, the great the chance it will adversely the US-China relationship. President Bush said, This accident has the potential for undermining our hopes for a fruitful and productive relationship between our two countries. To keep that from happening, our service men and women need to come home. The president is getting impatient.
Q: Is the administration trying to balance firmness with restraint in this matter?
Koppel: The Bush administration is trying to be firm while taking great pains not to antagonize Chinas leaders. One official said there is a very clear effort to keep the presidents rhetoric from becoming part of the problem. We are still not a point where I either side would describe this incident has having long-term implications, however.
Other officials point to the fact that Chinas allowing two US diplomats to gain access to the 24 Americans is a step in the right direction. Through comments made by President Bush and Secretary of State Powell, as well as private meetings between senior US and Chinese officials, the Bush administration is trying to resolve this incident diplomatically.
Q: What diplomatic overtures have been made so far?
Koppel: On Tuesday, Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage called in Chinas ambassador to Washington for the second time this week to reinforce the presidents message, in the words of another State Department official. This is intensive diplomacy, he said.
Secretary of State Powell, for one, would not speculate on what the administration might do in the future if the diplomatic route does not work. Officials say the administration is purposely trying not to point fingers of blame, and is trying not to get into a public debate with China because, in the words of one official, that is not productive.
Q: How concerned are officials that the Chinese will dismantle the plane?
Koppel: Certainly that is a concern, but over and over again I am hearing from officials here at the State Department that the primary goal -- what they are all working toward -- is the safe release of the 24 Americans. While administration officials dont want the Chinese to keep the plane and certainly dont want the Chinese to be taking anything off the plane, they are focusing their energy on the release of the Americans because they believe that is more important.

Tel Aviv/Cannes – As MIPTV kicks off, Armoza has announced four new deals for their new launches. FremantleMedia France have picked up Armoza Formats’ new fashion format Runway in my Closet while France’s Made in PM has acquired the rights to scripted drama The Killer Inside. An undisclosed party in France has taken the new daily stripped format The Final Cut-Down and Thailand’s Kantana Group Public Company Limited has also secured the rights to prime time studio entertainment format I Can Do That!.
Runway in my Closet (60′) is the daily stripped show that brings a new twist to fashion. Both men and women alike know the feeling of staring at a full closet and yet still having nothing to wear. What if there was a way to turn your fashion disasters into fashion sensations? In Runway in my Closet, each week three upcoming designers are challenged to turn shabby and worn items into chic outfits, competing against each other and putting their design skills to the test. Taking regular people as models and using old clothes from their “model’s” closet, they must create three different looks within a limited time and budget to win the grand prize. Developed in partnership with VIASAT3, Hungary, the show is set to air on TV3 in April.
Runway in my Closet
The Killer Inside (10 x 60′) is a psychological thriller that follows an interrogation specialist and her team as they delve into three suspects’ psychological truth in each episode. Investigating the world of crime from a new and unprecedentedly realistic perspective, she will solve the murders in her own, unpredictable way. As she builds a relationship of trust with suspects, she uncovers their lies and gets them to confess — all from the interrogation room. The Killer Inside is TVA’s new flagship drama, distributed by Armoza as part of their new collaboration deal, and portrays the rich, complex world of the interrogation room, with its constant mix of suspense and emotions, using a unique and intriguing fly-on-the-wall method. The Killer Inside is available both as a format and a ready-made.
The Killer Inside
The Final Cut-Down (30′) is the daily stripped styling format that will blow you away! Each week, five hairdressers compete to make the final cut, and in every episode, one of them will share their best hair styling advice, tips and tricks while working to transform a lucky passer-by in just three hours. With their rivals choosing who they must transform, which hairdresser will be the highlight of the week and which will be completely cut out? Over 80 episodes have already aired on TV Barrandov, Czech Republic, doubling the timeslot’s ratings and increasing share by 50%.

Amount and Socio-Ecological Correlates of Exercise in Men and Women at Cardiac Rehabilitation Completion
Additional Document Info
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to describe (1) the amount of physical activity (PA) in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) graduates by sex, and (2) the correlates of their PA. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of baseline data from a randomized trial was undertaken. Graduates were recruited from three CR programs. Participants completed a questionnaire, which assessed constructs from the socio-ecological model (i.e., individual-level, social- and physical-environmental levels). Physical activity was measured objectively using an ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer. Multilevel modeling was performed. RESULTS: Two hundred fifty-five patients consented, of which 200 (78.4%) completed the survey and provided valid accelerometer data. Participants self-reported engaging in a mean ± standard deviation of 184.51 ± 129.10 min of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) per week (with men engaging in more than women, P < 0.05). Accelerometer data revealed participants engaged in 169.65 ± 136.49 mins of MVPA per week, with 43 (25.1%) meeting recommendations. In the mixed models, the socio-ecological correlate significantly related to greater self-reported MVPA was self-regulation (P = 0.01); the correlate of accelerometer-derived MVPA was neighborhood aesthetics (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one-quarter of CR program completers are achieving MVPA recommendations, although two-thirds perceive they are. The CR programs should exploit accelerometry and promote self-regulation skills, namely, self-monitoring, goal-setting, positive reinforcement, time management, and relapse prevention. Patients should be encouraged to exercise in pleasing locations.

The European Central Bank will maintain its bond-buying program until financial markets stabilize, ECB Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny told Japan's Nikkei newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
On the euro's recent falls against the dollar, Nowotny said that, while volatile exchange rate moves were problematic, he saw the euro's current levels as normal.
The European Central Bank promised extra cash on Thursday to keep euro zone liquidity flush until the end of the year through its controversial government bond buying program.
The move throws the ECB's strategy for exiting stimulus measures further into reverse, after the central bank was forced to step in to stem a widening sovereign debt crisis a month ago by buying bonds and making extra loans available.
Nowotny, who is also Austrian central bank governor, told the paper that the ECB's bond-buying program was aimed at correcting distortions in specific markets, and was not a quantitative easing policy aimed at boosting money supply.
He also said the program was unlikely to fuel inflation or hurt the ECB's independence.
The euro has fallen nearly 16 percent this year to hover at a 4-year low against the dollar on lingering worries about Europe's debt problems.

Since 2000, Bridging the Gaps (BTG) in Winchester, Virginia has treated adults suffering from the disease of addiction. We have many effective, holistic approaches and believe that the whole person can be treated in four different stages.
The first phase is focused on stabilization of the emotions and physicality of the person and focusing on the acceptance of the program so that the person starts to engage and starts to make a commitment to change. In phase ! the medical staff with formulate a supplement of amino acids that will start to rebuild the chemical imbalance that the disease of addiction has incurred. We also use holistic approaches such as acupuncture detox, reiki, yoga, and meditation to help heal, manage stress, and gain spirituality.
Phase II builds off of phase I while living in a residential environment we venture into a deeper emotional state of processing but with the knowledge, insight, and experiences that were gained in Phase I. This deeper level of emotion often involves acknowledging and feeling their pain and trauma for the first time. Our supportive staff and our controlled residential environment is designed to make the healing person as safe and comfortable as possible 24 hours a day. A exciting part of Phase II is that this is when they are encouraged to start building a sober network of friends, acquaintances, and those who can support.
Phase III is moving into a sober living facility to start to regain tools of how to live and work, and cook, and shop and create a sober daily routine. This phase has more accountability to ones self. Although staff is not 24 hours present, we are still available and guiding, and supporting to ensure a life of sobriety.
Phase IV is optional and that is to remain in the sober living space or feel the freedom to move on and move forward.

Who are we?
What is a Hurdy-Gurdy?
The modern instrument is credited as a French instrument, but different variations of the hurdy-gurdy have existed in multiple cultures across Europe.
The hurdy-gurdy and greater instrument family are defined by having a wheel rubbing the strings similar to a violin bow, as well as a keyboard simulating the finger fretting of a violin/guitar. Most models have drone strings, similar to a bagpipe, as well as an accented buzz sound unique to the hurdy-gurdy.
The hurdy-gurdy was a popular court instrument in France during the 17/18th century. Since the 1970s, it has been gaining popularity in Europe and now the US.
What is GurdyWorld?
Information on the hurdy-gurdy can be sparse online. In August of 2022, Noelle Beaudin began working on a new hurdy-gurdy resource website – recognizing the need for a single, organized place for information on such a niche instrument. During early development, Noelle connected with Max Enloe – who had also realized the need for a single organized resource. Max had been working on a spreadsheet that compiled a list of makers with contact info, tutorials, plans, workshops, and sheet music. Realizing that Noelle had a website, while Max had all the content, they combined their efforts to make the first version of GurdyWorld.
Since then Max and Noelle have continued to develop the website, teach online classes and private lessons, as well as run a yearly US-based in person workshop located in New Hampshire. GurdyWorld’s mission is to bring hurdy-gurdy players in the US, and around the world, together, including a partnership with Associació Violes de Roda de Catalunya in Spain, another hurdy-gurdy educational-based organization.
What do we offer your organization?
If your organization would like us to perform or be a part of an event, we offer a few entertaining activities for an audience. Anything from short performances to longer panels and booths! All of what we do can be geared for children and families too!
We will play a variety of genres, from medieval to traditional to modern music. Both solos and duets. For a modern concert, this can also include the addition of a piano and violin. Concerts can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours and can be tailored to meet your venue or organization’s needs.
We will give a comprehensive history lesson on the hurdy-gurdy, spanning over 1000 years of history. This can be just a talk, or alongside a powerpoint if a projector or TV are provided.
Show & tell
A lesson in the mechanical functionality of the hurdy-gurdy. How they work, differences between models, and additional mechanical information on the instrument.
Audience instrument try
We have a few models of hurdy-gurdies that the audience are welcome to put their hands on and give ‘em a crank! We will talk through each individual to make sure they get a fun experience!

For many years Noelle Beaudin worked as a composer in Boston, Massachusetts and taught composition, music theory, and performance in the greater Boston area. She attended The Boston Conservatory of Music majoring in conducting, music composition and piano performance. Noelle is a member of the MTNA and National Guild of Music Teachers.
Over the last twenty years, she has worked for several private schools, the Upper Valley Music Center and the New Hampshire Independent School of Music where she conducted chamber ensembles, orchestras, folk groups, and piano ensembles as well as teaching courses on music history, theory, and composition. She currently teaches from her studio in Sandwich, and is the choral director for the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia. A fun and charismatic teacher, she has a special ability to understand issues a student or ensemble group may have and be able to clearly explain the best way to work through that problem.
She regularly performs throughout the New England area as a soloist or accompanist and has performed many solo Hurdy Gurdy shows at notable venues throughout New England.
For the past 3 years, Max Enloe has immersed himself in the world of the hurdy-gurdy, focusing not only on music, but also on understanding its mechanics. Having learned much from experts such as Scott Gayman and Sergio González, Max has developed a keen sense for the instrument’s nuances.
An active contributor to the hurdy-gurdy community, Max shares his many insights and experiences, including a monthly online workshop and in person repair sessions. Whether playing tunes, teaching, or fine-tuning instrument mechanics, Max Enloe is a dedicated hurdy-gurdy enthusiast and instructor.
He has a passion for sharing his knowledge to help others. And never misses an opportunity to help an enthusiastic player!

Once upon a time, a little library lived in a massive county recycling center. The little library was called the Burlington Township Recycling Library, and the books were free to readers both large and small. How cool is that?
I learned about the the Burlington Township Recycling Library from a friend, who used to make trips there when his kids were little. He explained that you are welcome to drop by, browse, and take home any books you want. When you are done with them, be it 3 weeks or 3 years, you are welcome to re-donate them so they can continue on their merry way. Not unlike a little free library initiative, except on a much larger scale. Last week, I stopped by to check it out.
The Burlington Township Recycling Library is basically a trailer with shelves lining 3 walls. There is also a double-sided line of shelves down the center.
By the entrance of the trailer, under two windows, is the children’s section. It boasts this colorful little table and chair set…
And this loving rendering of the Lorax:
Technically, the library’s shelves are divided into sections (Romance, New Fiction, Mystery, Religion, etc.). But I’m convinced that after the sun sets, the books come to life and sort themselves higgledy-piggledy, traveling to different shelving sections according to their whims and not their herd mentalities. It does makes for some interesting browsing. Here are a couple treasures my friend and I unearthed:
Hands up if you followed the adventures of Jessica and Elizabeth when you were in middle school! Awwwww yeah.
This one actually went home with me…
I love two things about this book. The fact that the spine was repaired with duct tape…
And its super cool illustrations. Like this mouse knight…
But the book also had weird, slightly disturbing illustrations like this one. Whoa.
There were some foreign language books lurking on the shelves as well. I can only guess the plot of this one. Occult detective art heist?
But the real archeological find was a cassette tape section. There were some albums, but there were also homemade mixes. Including the pirated soundtracks to Legend AND Labyrinth.
The library was unstaffed when we were there, but volunteers do stop by to process donations (which you simple leave in a basket) and tame the shelves. However, through some complicated dance with the power breaker and window AC unit, the library lights went on the fritz after just 10 minutes. Then they died completely.
Honestly, with all the 80s books and flickering lights, I was positive the Demogorgon was going to burst through the wall, forcing us to escape on our banana seat bicycles.
All kidding aside, I really like the concept of this recycling library, and it was fun to dig through the books to see what I could find. Relying on donations and the efforts of volunteers, the Burlington County Recycling Library seems a fairly low cost way to keep the community reading, and to keep books circulating on new adventures.

Budget 2017: Self-employed Sheffield woman concerned about rise in National Insurance contributions
Self-employed woman Adelle Draper is concerned about how the rise in National Insurance contributions will affect her following the Chancellor's budget.
The PR consultant felt the Government often hit small businesses and the self-employed the most.
Philip Hammond MP has said that NI contributions will rise for the self-employed from one per cent to 10 per cent from April 2018 - a rise of around 60p a week.
The 30-year-old said: "If it is only around 60p a week then it won't affect me too much. It's only around Â£30 extra a year, so I can't really complain.
"It does anger me though because it feels like the Government come down on the little guy at the bottom and let the huge corporations get away."
Adelle travels around the city to see clients - often planning meetings around rush hour, so welcomed the announcement of the Â£690m competition fund set up to tackle urban congestion.
Her husband, Steve Hampshire, 33, commutes daily from their home in Chancet Wood to work in the Tinsley, but often faces heavy traffic.
Adelle said: "He is head of coffee at Roastology and they have a factory in the Tinsley area which he has to commute to. It should take him around 20 minutes but he often has to leave around an hour before to get there by 8am.
"I am quite lucky that I work from home, so can arrange meetings around rush hour so I am not stuck in traffic.
"I don't think there is much that can be done in Sheffield to ease the congestion but if something can be done then it really would help improve our quality of life."

A 15-year-old girl and a truck driver have been killed after a suspension bridge over a river in southwest France collapsed, reigniting a debate over infrastructure safety in the wake of last year's deadly disaster in Genoa
Two vehicles plunged into the fast-flowing Tarn river on Monday after the bridge between the towns of Mirepoix-sur-Tarn and Bessieres, 30 kilometres (18 miles) north of Toulouse, gave way.
The bridge collapsed after the suspension cables snapped, crashing into the waters of the Tarn, with only a small portion left exposed above the river.
The girl was traveling in the car with her mother, who was plucked from the water by bystanders, Toulouse public prosecutor Dominique Alzeari said.
The truck driver's body was found after a day-long search by more than 60 rescue workers, including divers, according to rescue workers and the mayor of Mirepoix-sur-Tarn, Eric Oget.
"The body, which is in the truck, has not yet been freed," Oget told AFP.
Five people, including two rescue workers and some local people who tried to save the victims, were seriously injured, according to the region's security department.
The bonnet of the sunken car could be seen sticking out of the water as helicopters circled overhead.
Authorities had earlier said that a van might also have fallen into the river and that "several" people might be missing, but Alzeari said "that does not appear to be the case."
An investigation into the cause of the collapse was under way.
The environment ministry said that recent inspections of the bridge had "shown no security defects."
The council of the local Haute-Garonne area said the bridge, which dated to 1931 and had been renovated in 2003, underwent a "thorough" inspection in 2017 showing "no structural problem."
A visual inspection of the 155-meter (510-foot) structure, some 6.5 meters wide, confirmed that conclusion in 2018, the environment ministry said.
The bridge, dated to 1931, had a load limit of 19 tonnes and was "regularly checked," fire service and local security chief Etienne Guyot said.
The Mirepoix-sur-Tarn mayor described it as a "very important crossing point" for people going to work in the regional capital Toulouse on the other side of the river.
Many pedestrians used the bridge, he said, describing the collapse as a "real trauma" for the local population.
Oget said articulated lorries were not allowed onto the bridge but that some had nonetheless been seen crossing over in the past.
He said he had no information on whether the fallen truck exceeded the allowed weight.
The issue of bridge safety was thrust into the spotlight in Europe after the collapse of a motorway bridge in the Italian city of Genoa in August 2018, in which 43 people died.
An audit of France's bridges commissioned by the Senate in the wake of the Genoa disaster called for major investments to avoid a similar tragedy in France.
"Unfortunately what happened illustrates what we said in the report, which is that the state of our bridges poses a real danger," Senator Herve Maure, who oversaw the audit, told AFP.
"If a bridge which is not listed as dangerous collapses, what is the situation of those bridges which were clearly identified as dangerous in the report?" he said.

Amazing Spider-Man #648 “Big Time”
Written by: Dan Slott
Art by: Humberto Ramos
Well folks, Brand New Day is officially over and Spidey and company are moving on under the new “Big Time” banner. And I’m excited, skeptical, but excited. Let me give you a rundown of what goes on in this latest issue and then we’ll get to my fears and concerns (as well as hopes and dreams. Gotta keep it positive.)
Our issue begins with Spidey leading the Mighty Avengers on an attack against a bunch of giant octopus robots set on Manhattan by Doc Ock (and his new Sinister Six – which includes Electro, Sandman, Mysterio, Rhino & Chameleon) Spidey is, of course, leading the charge because he’s got the most familiarity with Ock’s technological machinations. The robots don’t give them much trouble (and even less when the F4 show up to help) but the whole thing’s really just a distraction for the Avengers – Chameleon (posing at Steve Rogers) and Electro are sneaking into a nearby military base (where everyone’s favorite Man-Wolf, John Jameson is stationed) where he has them unleash his Octo-bots…for some reason.
To add to the distraction, Ock commands all of his robots to detonate in two minutes. Not that he actually wants to destroy a good chunk of New York and kill millions, he knows Spidey will figure out of how stop it because:
And of course, Spidey does figure it out (while Iron Man and Reed are sitting on their thumbs) he syncs the clocks in the robots to the clocks in the rest of the city so that they jump an hour back giving the Avengers/F4 plenty of time to dispose of them.
Following Spidey’s grand victory, we flash to the sorry state of Peter Parker’s life. Unable to work as a photographer, he’s currently doing grunt work over at the new Frontline offices (Phil Urich is also lugging around boxes as well!.) Norah pops in for a bit, discussing her research on the new “Goblin culture” which is popping up around the city and then the gang is visited by Mayor Jameson and his lovely wife Marla. In order to go on with their marriage, Marla is making Jonah make amends to certain people, one of those being Robbie Robertson (who always got a healthy dose of crap from Jonah with his morning coffee) so the purpose of the visit is to have Jonah bequeath the Daily Bugle name to Robbie and the Frontline staff (they purchased it from Dexter Bennet.)
Continuing with the crapfest that is Peter Parker’s life, he heads to his apartment only to find that he’s been evicted. Well, more or less, Michelle (being the one who pays rent) is leaving, thus leaving Peter without a place to stay. There’s a quick goodbye and Peter attempts to find a new place to crash (why he doesn’t just go to Avengers Mansion/Tower is beyond me. There’s a reoccurring point he brings up throughout the issue about not all of the Avengers knowing his secret ID but I hardly see how it matters)
He tries Randy Robertson. No dice. Betty Brant doesn’t pick up his phone call. He tries Carlie as well but she doesn’t think it’s a good idea what with their new relationship.
While he continues his search, Marla Jameson and John Jameson go to the Penthouse of Jay Jameson and Aunt May. Jay wants to do some catching up with his grandson and Marla wants to help get Peter some gainful employment. After learning about his scientific prowess, she decides to make a call.
Desperate for a place to live, Pete tries Flash Thompson won’t let him crash at his place (mostly because him and Betty are knocking boots again.) Then, he even tries MJ:
Let me just take a quick sidebar and say until these panels, I was NOT a fan of Humberto Ramos’ art, but he just sold me with this. That face MJ is making is like, that’s a perfect artistic representation of the face someone makes before they explode with laughter.
Finally resigning to the fact that he’s SOL, Peter heads to Aunt May’s place, ready to ask if he can move in with, again. Before he even gets the chance, Dr. Jameson is telling him about the appointment she’s got for him at Horizon Labs. On the way their, Peter’s Spider Sense goes off, alerting him that they’re being watched by….I dunno what the hell this guy is.
I’m calling him Spider Slayer. I feel like he’s a new Spider Slayer. Whatever he is, he’s got a vendetta against Jameson and wants to find someone to help him enact it. First name on his list? Mac Gargan, who we then see at the Raft having his symbiote forcibly removed with sonics.
Peter gets taken to Horizon labs where he meets Max Modell, some sort of tech-whiz extraordinaire. He introduces Pete to two members of his think tank and while viewing an experiment with synthetic vibranium, everything goes haywire. Luckily, Peter is able to use to Spider-abilities to crawl across the floor, punch in some Wakandan Calculus (Yup) and save the day. The team is impressed with his smarts, but decides to quiz him a bit further.
As you can imagine, Peter passes their tests. The Parker luck at it’s finest! Answer questions about your own Rogues Gallery, make bank:
Things are looking like they’re about to go pretty damn well for Peter Parker. What could rain on his parade? Well, one of those things might just be the Kingpin. The other? Roderick Kingsley, aka, The Hobgoblin.
Final Score: 8/10 – I liked this issue a lot, I really really did. I’m a bit sad to see Michelle go, but all in all, I think the supporting cast is being prepped to be utilized by Slott in a big bad way. We’ve got a secretive new villain, we’ve got the return of an old one, two really (and I thought his identity was going to been teased at little more, not an outright reveal like we got) and that cool new job for Peter Parker. Things are shaping up great…but there are some things I’m concerned about.
For one thing, I’m wondering if we’re only just getting teased with these supporting characters like we did during Brand New Day. I’d really like to see something come out of Betty and Flash’s relationship, damn it.
My other big concern is the writing. The thing that stopped me from giving this issue a perfect score is that at times it just seemed waaaaaaaaay overwritten. There was the way it kept getting beat over our heads that Marla Jameson was a scientist, and even worse was the way it kept getting beat over our heads that Peter Parker is a genius:
This is just one of the grossest mishandlings of of the “Show, don’t tell” rule ever (not to mention none of the words coming out of the HT’s mouth sound remotely in character – C’mon Slott, you wrote a fantastic Johnny Storm in Spider-Man/Human Torch: I’m With Stupid – what’s going on here?)
And then there’s this:
I’m just not a fan of fart jokes, really (no, this scene did not affect my overall score of the issue)
Other than those little things I’m worried about, this was a fantastic comic and if you’re a Spider-Man fan, you should definitely pick it up. It’s been a rough year, but I think it might finally be a good time to be a webhead again.

Oh Arana, my poor, poor Arana…I really can’t believe they’ve got your traipsing about in a Julia Carpenter costume, soaked in the tears of every May Parker fan out there. I also don’t know they’ve given you a Twitter as a narrative device. Does it work? Yes, but from a logical standpoint, having a Twitter seems like a pretty crappy way to keep your secret identity safe.
Not really much to say about this back-up story. It’s short, well-written, drawn well, and all in all pleasant. Aran-I mean Spider-Girl, gets some mentorly advice from Spider-man and genuinely does her thing. I was expecting a lot, but I was hoping for a reason behind the name change.
Can’t say I won’t miss the old moniker, but I can see why Marvel’s doing this. It’s probably (hell, definitely) a helluva lot easier to move books called “Spider-” anything than it is to move one called Arana.
Didn’t at all get me pumped for her new ongoing (especially if they’re going to keep up the Twitter thing) but it was nice to be reminded that Anya Corazon is a character in the Marvel Universe (especially with the demise of Young Allies)
There’s no reason to not read this, you already paid for ASM #648.
Final Rating: What does it matter? Why wouldn’t you read a backup story? But for real – probably like a 3 out of 5

It’s official! The cast of the revival of Spring Awakening will be performing at this Sunday’s 70th annual Tony Awards, after running a successful Kickstarter campaign to help them get to the Tony stage. The campaign, which had the accompanying hashtag #GetSpringOnTheTonys, was launched to raise the $200,000 that was necessary for the performance.
Spring Awakening is nominated this year for Best Revival of a Musical, and although it might come as a surprise that a Tony-nominated production needed financial help to perform at the awards, the explanation is quite simple. Spring Awakening’s producer Ken Davenport told Broadway.com that the money would cover travel expenses for the actors, time spent in rehearsal, and all of the pieces of the set and design that are currently in storage in preparation for the 2017 national tour. The production closed on Broadway this past winter.
The campaign’s deadline was initially scheduled for June 11; however, earlier this week, the production predicted that it would raise enough money and made the decision to go ahead with performing at the Tonys. A video was posted to Spring Awakening’s official YouTube page to share the good news.
Since making that official call, the Kickstarter goal was met – and exceeded. As of today, June 9, Spring Awakening has raised $201,884 in support.
This isn’t the first time that this production of Spring Awakening has turned to Kickstarter for help. In 2014, it ran another successful campaign to initially mount the Deaf West production in Los Angeles. The production was so successful that it later made its way across the country to Broadway.
Part of why crowdsourcing has worked so well for this production is because of its huge impact and importance. This Deaf West version of Spring Awakening is one of the first Broadway shows to feature deaf actors and actresses, and it is also the first Broadway production to feature an actress who is in a wheelchair.
The revival’s cast is comprised of a perfect blend of deaf performers and hearing performers, and American Sign Language is beautifully and seamlessly woven into the show’s staging and choreography. Furthermore, many reviews of the production cite the musical’s multiple moments of silence as some of the most powerful parts of the entire show. The production was designed with the element of inclusion in mind.
Deaf West’s Spring Awakening is paving the way for theater to become more accessible to audience members and performers, regardless of ability. This groundbreaking piece of musical theater has earned its place on the Tony stage, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch them this Sunday.
Correction: A previous version of this piece incorrectly stated the mission of the initial 2014 Deaf West Spring Awakening Kickstarter campaign. It has been updated to reflect the corrected changes.

Spain’s unemployment rate has fallen sharply over the past five years, by 9.7 pp from its peak of 26.9% in Q1 2013. However, this rate is still a high 17.2%, practically doubling the euro area’s figure (9.0%).1 Over the same period, and in spite of the improvement in the labour market, the inactivity rate2 has remained almost the same, at around 26.0%. This is slightly lower than the euro area as a whole (27.0%) and significantly lower than other European countries such as Italy (34.6%) and France (28.4%).
There is a large number of inactive people aged between 15 and 64, totalling 7.5 million, almost twice the number of unemployed people (3.9 billion).3 The reasons for this inactivity vary greatly between gender. For men, the main reason is the suffering from an illness or disability (see the second chart). The second most frequent reason is participation in education or training. For women, however, personal or family reasons are the main causes of inactivity. This reflects the still very wide gender gap regarding family responsibilities and the role of carer.
It is notable that the percentage of inactive people not seeking employment because they believe they will not find a job is small, both for men and women. They are normally classified as «discouraged workers» and account for just 5.4% of all inactive people aged between 15 and 64.4 The share of discouraged workers in Spain seems relatively low when compared with the large number of unemployed (many of them long-term) and also compared with the euro area, where the percentage of discouraged workers is very similar (5.6%) but, on the other hand, the unemployment rate is approximately half that of Spain, as already noted.
Spain’s low inactivity rate (and high unemployment rate) can be easily demonstrated through its comparison with the euro area. In Spain, out of every 100 people of working age, 61 are employed and the rest are divided among 13% unemployed and 26% inactive. The euro area has a higher percentage of people in work (66%) but the mix of unemployed and inactive people is very different (7% unemployed and 27% inactive; i.e. four inactive people for every unemployed person). If this mix were applied to the Spanish case (keeping the employment percentage at 61%), the unemployment rate would be 11.2%; i.e. 6 pp lower than its actual level. The aim of this simple exercise is to highlight the limitations of concentrating solely on the unemployment rate when assessing the situation of the labour market. Other institutional and regulatory features of the labour market and also welfare state policies have a great effect on individuals’ behaviour and their decision to participate, or not, in the labour market.
1. The figures in this article refer to Q2 2017, unless otherwise specified.
2. The inactivity rate refers to the percentage of inactive people out of the total population aged between 15 and 64.
3. Although neither unemployed nor inactive people work, the distinction between these two groups is very important in statistical terms. While the former are counted within the labour force, inactive people are not. Specifically, following the criteria of the International Labour Organization, unemployed people are those who, at the time they are surveyed, are without work, state that they wish to work, are available to do so within two weeks and have taken active steps to look for work in the last four weeks. People who do not meet all these conditions are classified as inactive.

ufc ring girl Arianna Celeste attracts the attention of her fans as she looks pink.
The 37-year-old flaunts her body while posing in a lingerie set, leaving her fans’ jaws on the floor as she does so.
Arianny Celeste looks lovely in pink
The UFC ring girl flaunts her body in a hot lingerie photo, catching the attention of her fans. Celeste is wearing a pink lingerie set, her breasts are popping out of her bra and she is holding back her long brown hair.
Sharing the photo to promote her exclusive fan page, she captioned the post, “Hate how much you love me.🌸more at ⬇ www.ariannyexclusive.com.”
Fans were quick to comment on the post, sharing things like, “The clothes and the abuser are amazing 🌡💔🕵🏾👒🙈” and “@ariannyceleste my favorite woman in the world.” My only crush. 💍 🌹🌹🌹.”
A third chimed in, “Vibes that speak for themselves goddess Arianny ❤❤❤,” while another wrote, “Absolutely stunning and beautiful👏👏👏 Gorgeous @ariannyceleste.”
“Wow so beautiful 🔥,” one of her fans commented, while one user said, “Wow stunning beautiful absolutely gorgeous 💖.”
Celeste is no stranger to hot photos as she has already posed for Playboy. Discussing the experience, she said, “When Playboy asked me to shoot, I was in a great position. I’d been in the UFC for a while and felt comfortable with my body and confident as a model. Of course it’s a little nerve-wracking when you have to take pictures naked. But everyone there was so professional that I felt super comfortable,” she told the magazine. “Somehow it seemed normal to be photographed naked in this environment. I’ve always admired girls in Playboy, so it was an amazing experience to shoot for them.”
Arianny Celeste shows her legs
In another photo, Arianny Celeste flaunted her legs while wearing the same pink lingerie set, but this time she had the camera further back so her legs were the focal point. One leg was propped up on the stool while the other stayed down, showing off the muscles and tone of her legs.
“Love your body❤,” one fan commented, while another echoed, “I just love you 😍.”
Celeste isn’t afraid to show up and stand up for herself. In the past, Celeste has taken to Instagram to stand up for herself and her fellow Ringgirls after UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized the use of Ringgirls in the MMA Octagon.
Arianny Celeste responded to Nurmagomedov by saying, “I’ve worked in this industry for over 15 years and I’ve learned that it’s easier to just not care.” UFC is our time and showing love and time to our diehard fans through world tours and in-person performances.” And even though the world is very different, I can still feel that energy and love when we have a show with an audience.”
She went on to explain how her 15 years of hard work and dedication have made her a “poor, independent, wealthy woman.” A real estate investor and owner of not one, but three houses/properties, one of them in LA – which is expensive for me – and a woman who is not afraid to take risks and build for my future.”
