Jennifer Aniston vs Justin Theroux Net Worth: How Much Are They Worth Now?
By Adeola Seun
Celebrities date, marry and it ends, we accept that. Although being celebrities, their relationships get a lot more press but it is no more different than the relationships of regular people which has been seeing a rising rate of divorce year-on-year. However, even though we accept the phenomenon, there are still breakups that break our hearts, such as that of Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.
When Jennifer Aniston began dating Justin, the belief was she had finally found her happy ending, an end to the string of high-profile failures that have defined her relationship history but that turned out not to be the case as they got divorced after less than three years together.
Much has been said about the end of the marriage, and the couple has maintained an amicable relationship afterward. However, having been divorced for a couple of years, we take a close look at their respective net worth, exploring how much the celebrity exes are worth now.
Who Makes More Money?
Jennifer Aniston Net Worth Is $220 million
If we are going to compare the net worth of the exes, then we should start with the most popular between the two of them – Jennifer Aniston. She is an actress, who is most known for her role on everybody's favorite sitcom, Friends. She famously played the character, Rachel Green on the show and has been in the industry for over thirty years. She started with an uncredited appearance in Mac and Me, which was her very first movie, then she made her debut in TV in 1990, where she played Courtney Walker in Molloy.
Before she got her big break in Friends in 1994, Jennifer Aniston appeared in a bunch of other works before starring in the popular sitcom. She appeared in shows like The Edge, Ferris Bueller, Muddling Through, Burke's Law.
While she solidified herself as a TV actress, Jennifer Aniston also proved to be a regular face on the big screen as she appeared in movies like Leprechaun, Camp Cucamonga and a couple of others, then Friends began. Sure, Jennifer Aniston made some money before she was cast in Friends, but her mega wealth today is undeniably a result of her role on the show.
Jennifer Aniston was on Friends for ten years between 1994 and 2004, during which she appeared in 236 episodes. While many fans of the show would look back on the show and able to recite some of the dialogue in each episode word for word, Jennifer looks back on it as the unending source of her wealth.
She has been making as much as $20 million per year since the show ended in residual income, and over the course of the last two seasons of the show, Jennifer Aniston made as much as $1 million per episode, a fact that made her and her castmates the highest-paid cast members on TV at the time.
One could say that Jennifer Aniston, with such level of income from Friends, doesn't need to be successful as a movie actress, but she has also recorded some degree of success as one.
Jennifer Aniston (right) with her Friends co-stars – Lisa Kudrow and Courtney Cox
The increase in popularity that emerged out of her role as Rachel Green made her a huge box office draw, and over the course of her career, her movies have made almost $2 billion in the global box office at over $1.6 billion.
This comes from a filmography with over 40 movies, with some of her most successful movies being Bruce Almighty, Horrible Bosses, Just Go With It, The Bounty Hunter and a couple more others.
Other than her earnings from Friends and movie successes, Jennifer Aniston's mega net worth has also come from brand endorsements, which includes deals with Emirate Airlines, L'Oreal, Aveeno, Smartwater, and Living Proof, which she used to own before it was sold to Unilever.
With divorces often coming with a large payout from the richer personality, thanks to a prenuptial agreement, Jennifer Aniston has been able to keep her net worth despite her divorce from Justin Theroux.
Of course, that is not to suggest that Justin Theroux is a bum because he is doing quite alright for himself and you can see how much below.
Justin Theroux Net Worth Is $25 million
Perhaps if you are Jennifer Aniston or you earn as much as her, Justin Theroux's net worth might be something to smirk at but not to us regular folk.
Just like Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux is also an actor and he began his career in 1995, much later than his ex-wife. He made his debut appearance onscreen in an episode of the show, C.P.W, where he starred as Gary Andrews.
In the following year, he made his first appearance in a movie, I Shot Andy Warhol, playing the character Mark and ever since, he has been a mainstay of both movies and TV shows.

Throughout a career that has lasted over a quarter of a decade, Justin Theroux's filmography, which boasts of over 60 movies and TV shows, has recorded credits in major productions like American Psycho, Mulholland Drive, Charlie's Angeles: Full Throttle, Miami Vice, Wanderlust, and The Leftovers.
As an actor, Justin Theroux is not particularly a leading man, and he has only primarily been a supporting actor for a majority of his career, with his supporting roles earning over $2.5 billion in the box office. Sadly, such high earnings haven't reflected in his net worth because of the comparatively low earnings of supporting actors.
As a leading actor, however, Justin Theroux has made some decent splash in the box office, with an estimated over $200 million in box office sales in movies where he played a lead role.
This is believed to have contributed to his modest net worth, along with backend income from some of his technical roles as a screenwriter, director, and producer. As a screenwriter, he is famous for writing the popular movie, Tropic Thunder.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux – Relationship Timeline
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux
Having established the richer personality between the former married couple, let's revisit their relationship, and take a look at their journey from colleagues to lovers to married couple and then to former husband and wife.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux met on the set of Tropic Thunder, which Justin co-wrote. Both of them happen to be close friends with one of the stars of the movie, Ben Stiller and a random set visit from Jennifer who did not star in the movie led to a first impression meeting between the two of them, but they never began a relationship.
After three years of meeting for the first time with nothing happening between them, Jennifer Aniston and Justin met again on the set of the film, Wanderlust, with Jennifer starring on this one, alongside comedic actor, Paul Rudd.
When they met, Justin Theroux was in a relationship with his girlfriend, Heidi Bivens at the time, but they broke up shortly after.
Come May in 2011, the rumour mill began trudging out information about a possible relationship between Justin and Jennifer Aniston. The two of them were spotted at various romantic venues, as rumours of them being a thing began to grow.
It didn't take long for stronger shreds of evidence of their relationship to begin to fly as they were seen attending major industry events together, including an MTV Movie Awards after-party. Another was Justin Theroux's presence as the hand and feet moulding event for Jennifer Aniston at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
For those who were yet unsure of their relationship, August provided the definitive answer when it was reported that both Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston had moved in together after a couple of weeks of house hunting.
With their relationship confirmed, Jennifer Aniston gave a candid interview extolling the wisdom and joy of dating Justin Theroux, which was the first official statement about their relationship from the Friends actress.
Justin and Jennifer decided to adopt a dog. The dog, which was a rescue pit bull, was named Sophie. Nothing says becoming a family-like adopting a dog together.

After almost two years of dating, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got engaged on the 10th of August, 2012. Justin proposed to Jennifer on his birthday with a diamond ring worth $500 thousand. The ring, which is an 8-carat boulder designed by Peter Meksian.
Jennifer and Justin during their wedding
After about three years of being engaged, which led many to think their marriage was never going to happen, Jennifer and Justin Theroux got married in a very private ceremony in their new home.
The wedding, which was heralded as a birthday for Justin, was held in their home in Bel Air, with close friends from her hit show, Friends in attendance. The wedding was officiated by Jimmy Kimmel with Amy Sedaris serving as the best man.
Justin and Jennifer Aniston were photographed for the last time in public during an event in Hollywood, a celebration honouring Jason Bateman who was getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Both Jennifer, who is a close friend of Jason, and her husband, Justin were at the event.
After what had become a noticeably sporadic appearance in public together, including Justin missing Jennifer's birthday on February 11, the couple announced on the 15th of February that they were getting divorced in a public statement.

While the divorce undoubtedly broke the heart of fans, it was said that the divorce was a result of their incompatibility in personality.
Since getting divorced, both Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have reportedly remained single, with no known public relationship.

Bobby Flay Vs Morimoto: Which Celebrity Chef Has the Higher Net Worth?

This is a solid generated when a semicircle is being rotated about its diameter. In three-dimensional space, this is also known as perfect round geometrical object.
A plane is at the center of the spherical solid divides the solid in to two equal parts. Each shape is called hemisphere.
A very good example we can say for spherical shaped solid is globe. Ball is another good example for spherical shaped solid.
The size of this kind of solid is depending upon the length of the radius. If the the radius is more the size will be more. If the radius is less the size of the solid would be less.
As we have height,slant height in cylinder and cone, here we don't have height or slant height. We have only radius. But we can represent height as radius. That is height is two times radius.
Even though we define height of the spherical shaped solid in terms of radius, we don't consider and we don't use height in finding curved surface-area, total surface-area and volume.
Since we don't consider height of the cylinder at any circumstances, that is when we find curved surface-area,total surface-area and volumes, very few people are aware of height of spherical shaped solid.
Role of radius in finding areas and volumes: Since we don't consider and we don't use height at any circumstance, we use only radius to find everything(curved surface-area,total surface-area and volumes). Radius of spherical shaped solid plays a vital role in finding curved surface-area, total surface-area and volumes.If we find the volume of the shape it will represent the weight of the shape.
To know more about areas and volumes of spherical shaped solids, please click the links given below.
We hope that the above pages will be very useful.

Q: Float multiple  elements in the same direction, with correct order I have a group of buttons:

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg clearButton" onclick="resetSignature();"> Reset </button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg skipButton" onclick="skipQuestion();">Skip Question</button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-lg nextQuestionButton" onclick="goToNextQuestion();"> Next Question → </button>

(I am using bootstrap). And I have some css:
.nextQuestionButton, .skipButton {
    float: right;
    margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    width: auto;
    font-size:16px;
}
.clearButton {
    float: left;
    margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    font-size: 16px;
    width: auto;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
    .clearButton, .skipButton, .nextQuestionButton {
        width: 100%;
        float: none;
    }
}

This generates output like so:

My problem is that I want the green button to be the farthest to the right on a wide screen, and the bottom button on a narrow screen. I tried re-ordering the buttons (among other things), but then it ruined the order on narrow screens. How can I get the green button to line up on the right of the yellow one?
EDIT: Here is a jsFiddle

A: See this fiddle
I've changed your HTML a little bit

    <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg clearButton" onclick="resetSignature();">Reset</button>

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-lg skipButton" onclick="skipQuestion();">Skip Question</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-success btn-lg nextQuestionButton" onclick="goToNextQuestion();">Next Question →</button>

and your CSS as
.nextQuestionButton, .skipButton {
    margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    width: auto;
    font-size:16px;
}
.clearButton {
    float: left;
    margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    font-size: 16px;
    width: auto;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
    .clearButton, .skipButton, .nextQuestionButton {
        width: 100%;
        float: none;
    }
}

What I have done is that, i enclosed two of your buttons in a div which is floated right instead of the buttons. To float right the div, I used the bootstrap class pull-right.
UPDATE
See the updated fiddle

A: .green {
   float:left;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 300px) {
   .green {float:right;}
}

just float it in different collection when screen is small.

BBC radio features music from Amber's Haunt
BBC radio played music from Amber's Haunt - the debut presentation from Disturbed Girl Productions - last night. The clip starts at 9 minutes 5 seconds in http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01sdw9c
Film subsidiary Disturbed Girl Productions will launch its debut feature "Amber's Haunt" in summer 2014
The debut presentation from Disturbed Girl Productions is a short film by Joe James, the man behind barbaric-electro artist Himuro Mansion.
Disturbed Girl Productions is a new subsidiary of Amygdala Press that aims to bring visionary, provocative and original short films to the screen.
"Amber's Haunt" tells the story of Billie Amber, an 18-year-old girl drifting aimlessly as she struggles to deal with the aftermath of her father's death.
While her friends move on with their lives, she remains tied to her mother, Agatha, who herself is trapped in a mental vortex, unable to cope with the loss.
One evening, Billie is sifting through her father's belongings when she discovers a tattered photo album containing pictures of the bar her parents used to manage. It is clear that the bar was in fact a seedy strip club called "Amber's Haunt".
Angry and confused about her parents' deception, she decides to investigate the club. It is a decision that will trigger a psychological nightmare that threatens to engulf and destroy her.
Joe James said: "This will be the visual rebirth of my music. I've waited years to create my first horror production, and its finally happening. With the help of our talented cast and crew we can really make this a nightmare!"
James Howell, author of the Disturbed Girl novels, is Executive Producer for "Amber's Haunt".
James said: "Joe has already produced some incredible music to accompany my novels, so when I heard he was working on a short film I was desperate to get on board. The screenplay is an absolute page-turner and I know that Joe and his team have some wild creative ideas to bring the story to life.
"Disturbed Girl Productions has been launched because I want Disturbed Girl to develop into a multi-media brand. My focus will always be on writing, but I want this website to become a platform for creatives of all types: writers, musicians, film-makers, photographers, you name it."
James added: "I don't believe in rules, but I do believe in certain ingredients that capture the ethos of the Disturbed Girl novels. These are complex and captivating female characters, themes that question society and challenge the status quo, and powerful stories that stay with you long after the final scene.
"There will be lots of brand new content on this site over the coming months, and some really innovative ways for fans to get involved and join the Disturbed Army. Watch this space."
Keep an eye on the "Amber's Haunt" page for updates, interviews, stills and trailers ahead of the film's release in summer 2014.

Official launch of "A Disturbed Girl's Redemption"
The hotly-anticipated finale of James Howell's stunning Disturbed Girl trilogy, A Disturbed Girl's Redemption, is published worldwide this week by Amygdala Press.
The third instalment of the cult novels sees former journalist Hannah Harker forced into a relentlessly brutal chase across Europe as her search for love, sanity and salvation becomes a sickening marathon of depravity.
Author Howell says: "For nearly five years, Hannah has kept me locked me in a world of savage violence, lesbian sex, drug abuse and psychopathy. She has emotionally drained me and I can't wait to come up for air."
Since the first novel A Disturbed Girl's Guide to Curing Boredom was published in 2011, Harker's harrowing, sexual and violent exploits have attracted an army of fans. More than 15,000 copies of the novels have been sold globally, and the official Facebook page has attracted over 46,000 followers.
A Disturbed Girl's Guide to Curing Boredom follows the story of the local reporter as she gradually grows insane in her quest to find excitement at all costs. In January 2013, it was named 7th in UKTV Really channel's top 10 must-read erotic novels of all time.
The follow-up, A Disturbed Girl Implodes, continues Harker's demented adventures and was published by Amygdala Press in May 2012.
For the final barbaric showdown, A Disturbed Girl's Redemption, Harker is put through an unspeakable nightmare that pushes her far beyond the limits of physical, mental and emotional endurance.
Author James Howell's experiences while working on a local newspaper in Essex, England, and on national newspapers in London, inspired the adventures of anti-hero Harker.
Howell said: "The first novel sees Hannah transformed from a fairly normal young woman into a psychopathic terrorist as her attempts to find a cure for her boredom backfire hideously.
"In the second novel she stumbles into the middle of an apocalyptic plot that threatens the very future of mankind. Any last remaining shred of normality in her character is systematically erased and she is left physically broken, mentally mutilated and emotionally exhausted.
"For the final part of the trilogy she is offered a route to redemption. She is so damaged at this point that it may be beyond her, but with so much at stake she is forced to summon one last surge of strength."
Howell added: "There is a return to some of the themes that I explored in "Curing Boredom" - particularly the media, personal responsibility and the trials of everyday life – and expect plenty of danger, sex, violence, exotic locations and action. Boundaries will be pushed, nothing will be predictable and by the end of Hannah's story I hope that readers will be left breathless and in shock."
Daniel Harding from Amygdala Press said: "I think it's fair to say that everyone who has read the first two Hannah Harker adventures has been captivated by this extraordinary young woman. We get so many insights into her psyche, but still she remains something of an enigma, and this is what has kept readers hooked.
"This third and final part brings her rollercoaster journey to a conclusion. Nobody will be able to predict how it ends, but without a doubt the story will be unlike anything you have read before."
In late 2012, London-based electronic music artist Mush No Candy collaborated with Howell and produced a unique soundtrack to accompany the novels, which was the subject of a BBC radio programme.
Howell, Mush No Candy and Amygdala Press are now involved with a pan-European multimedia project called The Black Page, which is due to launch in early 2014.

Porém, estou com duvida sobre o que eu faço com os espaços dos vetores nos quais nao fica armazenado nenhum dado do usuário, pois ele geralmente retorna lixo da memória. Segue o código:
'''
int main()
{
    int i,num,qtdP,qtdI,impares[max],pares[max];
qtdP=qtdI=0;

for(i=0;i<10;i++){

    //entrada de dados do usuario
    printf("Digite um numero: ");scanf("%d",&num);

    //verifica se o numero é par ou impar, e armazena no seu devido vetor
    if(num%2==0){

        pares[qtdP]=num;
        qtdP++;
    }else{

        impares[qtdI]=num;
        qtdI++;
    }
}

//imprime os numeros pares
printf("\n\nOs numeros pares sao: ");
for(i=0;i<10;i++){

    printf("%d ",pares[i]);
    qtdP++;
}

//imprime os numeros impares
printf("\nOs numeros impares sao: ");
for(i=0;i<10;i++){

    printf("%d ",impares[i]);
    qtdI++;
}

return 0;

}'''

A: Você não declarou a variável max usada para inicializar os arrays pares e impares, por isso eu substitui pelo valor 10.
Movi as variáveis i e num para o escopo em que elas são usadas.
E para que o programa imprima apenas os valores validos dos arrays você deve limitar os loops for usando as variáveis qtdP e qtdI.
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int qtdP = 0, pares[10];
  int qtdI = 0, impares[10];

  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    int num = 0;

    //entrada de dados do usuario
    printf("Digite um numero: ");
    scanf("%d", &num);

    //verifica se o numero é par ou impar, e armazena no seu devido vetor
    if (num % 2 == 0) {
      pares[qtdP] = num;
      qtdP++;
    } else {
      impares[qtdI] = num;
      qtdI++;
    }
  }

  //imprime os numeros pares
  printf("\n\nOs numeros pares sao: ");
  for (int i = 0; i < qtdP; i++) {
    printf("%d ", pares[i]);
  }

  //imprime os numeros impares
  printf("\nOs numeros impares sao: ");
  for (int i = 0; i < qtdI; i++) {
    printf("%d ", impares[i]);
  }

  return 0;
}

All flooded freeways reopen; cleanup costs estimated at $500,000 with more to come
Crews continue work on cleaning up on I-75 under I-696 on Wednesday morning.
All freeways in metro Detroit have been cleaned and reopened after historic rainfall Monday and the resulting flooding and damage.
I-75 north at I-696 reopened to traffic before 7 p.m. Wednesday, the last section of metro Detroit's expressways to reopen.
Crews from the Michigan Department of Transportation had been working since Monday's severe flooding, which resulted from much as 6 inches of rain in some areas in a matter of hours. MDOT's crews had to pump out the excess water, clean the roadways and inspect them to ensure they were safe.
MDOT has pegged preliminary cleanup costs at about $500,000. Costs to fix compromised pavement, slopes that were washed out and other problems are not yet known but are expected to be significant.

Late Wednesday morning, Gov. Rick Snyder authorized a disaster declaration for Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, creating options for state funds for those counties.
Snyder also has been working to secure federal emergency relief with help of Republican U.S. Rep. Candice Miller and Democrats Sander Levin, John Dingell and Gary Peters.
"In addition to the state declaration of disaster, we are actively pursuing all potential avenues of assistance, including applicable federal relief programs to ensure that all appropriate resources are secured for our hardest-hit communities in Southeast Michigan," Snyder said in a statement.
"I am most concerned about the citizens who have sustained substantial damage to their homes, and we will target all available means to help with property damage, service disruptions and health and wellness issues during this difficult time."
Snyder, who is on a tour of the Upper Peninsula this week but took a break to survey the devastation Tuesday, also said in his statement that he and his office have been talking with Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, Warren Mayor Jim Fouts, Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson and Wayne County Executive Bob Ficano.
Transportation spokeswoman Diane Cross said an investigation is ongoing to evaluate what went wrong Monday on Detroit's roads. A final determination isn't expected until after the mud, trash, abandoned vehicles and other debris are cleared.
"We have had an aging infrastructure, we've had some copper theft, we've had generators and pumps that are just overwhelmed by the large volume of rain that we've had," she said. "There's a lot of factors that are all going on at the same time."
The state said the theft of copper from pumping stations used to clear water may have been a contributing factor in the freeway flooding. Copper theft for sale as scrap is a long-standing problem in the Detroit area, where it is also blamed in many streetlight outages.

Wolverines forward's three-point play with 3.8 seconds left with was the difference in a 76-73 topsy-turvy game Saturday at Crisler Center.
Ann Arbor — Abysmal free-throw shooting. Poor outside shooting. A pair of 20-point scorers. Another sluggish start. A blown lead late in the second half.
Michigan overcame it all to escape with a 76-73 overtime win over a scuffling, short-handed Minnesota team Saturday at Crisler Center.
Senior guard Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman scored 17, including a tiebreaking three-point play with 3.8 seconds left in overtime, to lift No. 24 Michigan (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten), which finished 12-for-28 from the free-throw line and 8-for-32 on 3-pointers.
The 16 misses at the stripe — 15 coming after the first half — were a season high. It topped the previous mark of 14 misses in the overtime win over UCLA on Dec. 9.
After Michigan squandered a five-point lead in the final 28 seconds of regulation, Zavier Simpson (15 points) made a layup and 3-pointer — his first make after he missed his first seven attempts beyond the arc — to give Michigan a 70-66 lead with 2:50 left in overtime.
Minnesota (14-11, 3-9) battled back and tied it twice in the final two minutes, the last on a Davonte Fitzgerald layup to make it 73-all with 11 seconds left.
It set the stage for Abdur-Rahkman to redeem himself after missing two free throws late in the second half that would have sealed the victory.
And this time, he came through. Abdur-Rahkman took Minnesota's Jamir Harris off the dribble and used a spin move to get free for the winning and-1 layup.
"I just looked up the floor, surveyed the floor and saw there was nobody underneath the basket, so I knew if I can get downhill there wouldn't be a help defender," Abdur-Rahkman said. "Once (Harris) cut me off, I just thought I should probably spin and since there was nobody there and that's what I did.
Minnesota's Nate Mason, who forced overtime after making a 3-pointer with 5.3 seconds left in regulation, was unable to force a second extra session as his deep 3 as time expired was off the mark.
Moritz Wagner finished with 16 points and 10 points and Charles Matthews added 13 points and 11 rebounds but shot 5-for-12 from the line for Michigan.
Freshman Isaiah Washington scored a season-high 26, Mason added 22 and Jordan Murphy 12 for Minnesota, which has lost five straight and was without injured sophomore guard Amir Coffey and suspended senior center Reggie Lynch.
Following a rough first half in which Michigan trailed the entire time, the Wolverines used a 6-0 run to take their first lead, 38-37, with 16:15 remaining in the second half. Wagner hit a 3-pointer and split two free throws and Matthews snapped an 0-for-6 start with his first field goal on a baseline dunk.
The lead was short-lived as Minnesota quickly answered with a Mason floater to start a 13-2 spurt. The run featured three baskets apiece from Washington and Mason, who capped it with another runner to put the Gophers up, 50-40, with 11:15 left.
Minnesota held a seven-point advantage before Duncan Robinson (10 points) scored on a layup to spark a 14-2 run over the final six minutes. The Wolverines capped the flurry with six straight points on two free throws and a basket by Abdur-Rahkman and a dunk by Matthews to pull ahead, 63-58, with 28 seconds left.
But just when it seemed Michigan had the game in the bag, everything fell apart in the final 20 seconds.
Abdur-Rahkman missed two more free throws with 18 seconds left and Washington scored on a driving layup to cut the deficit to three. Then on the ensuing possession, Robinson was trapped near the sideline on an inbounds pass and was called for traveling with eight seconds remaining. The turnover led to Mason's 3-pointer that forced overtime and tested Michigan's resiliency.

It's time for my traditional NYE post where I talk about how I did with my challenges this year. and what my top reads of the year were. I hope you all had a good year and are looking forward to starting afresh tomorrow.
Lets start with the easy bit and look at the challenges….
The first challenge I set myself this year was the Goodreads Challenge. If you read my Hello 2017 post you will notice that I set the challenge to read 100 books. By around half way through the year it was obvious this wasn't going to happen and I had few unexpected things happen this year which would mean I couldn't catch up in the rest of the year. With this in mind I reduced my challenge to 75 books. I am very glad to say that I read 76 books this year.
Challenge number 2 was to clear some books from my ever growing TBR pile. I challenged myself to read 30 books however I only managed just over half of this at 16. I had a lot of new books this year and a lot of tours which took precedent over other books so I am fairly happy with this result.
On to number three, the Netgalley challenge. I'm actually pretty proud of this one. I managed to read 41 books from Netgalley this year. While I have probably requested twice as many as that I'm pleased to have met the goal.
The final challenge was to read 25 Christmas books. I always have so many festive books and with such a short period to read them I always have some on the TBR pile. So how did I do? I managed 18 this year which is disappointing but there's always next year.
Now its on to the more difficult bit, picking my top books of the year.
The first book that came to mind when I was thinking about my top books is A Song For Tomorrow by Alice Peterson. This book got me right in the chest. I read it pretty much in one sitting and sobbed my little heart out from about half way through and didn't stop for a long time. I'm tearing up just re-reading my review so it's time to move onto some lighter reads.
As I'm sure you are aware I am a HUGE fan of Aven's writing and Playing Defense did not disappoint. This book was on point and hilarious. I can't give it enough praise. Aven also released her first Baseball book, Squeeze Play this year which I adored. for me it's not the sport it's Aven's writing that makes the book and this one was a definite winner. With Aven's humour and romantic moments this is one not to be missed.
The fourth and fifth books to make it into my top books of the year are from the lovely HollyMartin. Holly loves to take us to new locations and give us a series of books which revolve around different couples. With these two books we are taken to Hope Island and what beautiful place it is. Starting with Spring at Blueberry Bay earlier in the year and topping the year off with a christmassy favourite with Christmas at Mistletoe Cove these are a must for you chicklit lovers out there.
The next two books I want to talk about are by Sonya Loveday. The thing I love about Sonya's books is that she is not afraid to push boundaries. What it Takes is heartbreaking and raw. The emotions in this book are strong. Sonya has just finished The Six series and while the series pushes the boundaries further than you think is possible it is wrapped up nicely with A Very Merry Sixmas which was an enjoyable change of pace.
The next book was by an author I hadn't read before but will most definitely be choosing again. The Silent Wife by Kerry Fisher took me on twists and turns that I never saw coming and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I have another 2 books by Kerry on my TBR pile which I will be bumping to the top.
I am a life long fan of Paige Toon and have been quitely following her books since her debut. Her most recent full length release was The Last Piece of My Heart which followed Bridget as she reclaimed the pieces of her heart. This story was some of Paige's best writing and it was a pleasure to be able to read it.
I have adored Jenny's books since I first read Coming Home For Christmas and it's not Christmas for me until I see Jenny's new cover being battered around on the socials. This year We'll Always Have Christmas was a joy to read and really got my festive juices going.
Last but by no means least is Heidi Swain's Sleigh Rides and Silver Bells at the Christmas Fair. This was the first book by Heidi that I read and I've already dived back to Wynbridge for another dose. I can't tell you how much I loved her writing and how I long to be back in Wynbridge again.
Thanks for stopping by! Let me know how you did on your goals for 2017 or what your favourite reads of the year were in the comments. Check back tomorrow for my 2018 goals.

Current Status and Challenges of Stem Cell Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Pacheco-Herrero, Mar | Soto-Rojas, Luis O. | Reyes-Sabater, Heidy | Garcés-Ramirez, Linda | de la Cruz López, Fidel | Villanueva-Fierro, Ignacio | Luna-Muñoz, José
Article Type: Review Article
Abstract: Neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Parkinson's disease, among others, are characterized by the pathological processing and accumulation of tau protein. AD is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and is characterized by two lesions: neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuritic plaques. The presence of NFTs in the hippocampus and neocortex in early and advanced stages, respectively, correlates with the patient's cognitive deterioration. So far, no drugs can prevent, decrease, or limit neuronal death due to abnormal pathological tau accumulation. Among potential non-pharmacological treatments, physical exercise has been shown to stimulate the development …of stem cells (SCs) and may be useful in early stages. However, this does not prevent neuronal death from the massive accumulation of NFTs. In recent years, SCs therapies have emerged as a promising tool to repopulate areas involved in cognition in neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, protocols for SCs therapy are still being developed and the mechanism of action of such therapy remains unclear. In this review, we show the advances and limitations of SCs therapy. Finally, we provide a critical analysis of its clinical use for AD. Show more

Phosphorylation and Glycosylation of Amyloid-β Protein Precursor: The Relationship to Trafficking and Cleavage in Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Song, Xi-Jun | Zhou, He-Yan | Sun, Yu-Ying | Huang, Han-Chang
Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in the central nervous system, and this disease is characterized by extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is the main constituent of senile plaques, and this peptide is derived from the amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) through the successive cleaving by β-site AβPP-cleavage enzyme 1 (BACE1) and γ-secretase. AβPP undergoes the progress of post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation and glycosylation, which might affect the trafficking and the cleavage of AβPP. In the recent years, about 10 phosphorylation sites of AβPP were identified, and they play complex roles in glycosylation modification …and cleavage of AβPP. In this article, we introduced the transport and the cleavage pathways of AβPP, then summarized the phosphorylation and glycosylation sites of AβPP, and further discussed the links and relationship between phosphorylation and glycosylation on the pathways of AβPP trafficking and cleavage in order to provide theoretical basis for AD research.

Identification of the Neural Circuit Underlying Episodic Memory Deficit in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment via Machine Learning on Gray Matter Volume
Authors: Wang, Zan | Zhang, Zhengsheng | Xie, Chunming | Shu, Hao | Liu, Duan | Zhang, Zhijun
Article Type: Short Communication
Abstract: Based on whole-brain gray matter volume (GMV), we used relevance vector regression to predict the Rey's Auditory Verbal Learning Test Delayed Recall (AVLT-DR) scores of individual amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patient. The whole-brain GMV pattern could significantly predict the AVLT-DR scores (r = 0.54, p < 0.001). The most important GMV features mainly involved default-mode (e.g., posterior cingulate gyrus, angular gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus) and limbic systems (e.g., hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus). Therefore, our results provide evidence supporting the idea that the episodic memory deficit in aMCI patients is associated with disruption of the default-mode and limbic systems.

Inhibitory Fc γ Receptor and Paired Immunoglobulin Type 2 Receptor Alpha Genotypes in Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: Pandey, Janardan P. | Namboodiri, Aryan M. | Nietert, Paul J. | Barnes, Lisa L. | Bennett, David A.
Abstract: We investigated whether FCGRIIB (rs1050501 C/T) and PILRA (rs1859788 A/G) genotypes contributed to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We genotyped 209 African American (AA) and 638 European American (EA) participants for the FCGRIIB and PILRA alleles. In the AA cohort, subjects homozygous for the C allele of FCGRIIB were more than 4 times as likely to develop AD as those homozygous for the alternative T allele. This SNP also interacted with PILRA : participants who were the carriers of the FCGRIIB C allele and PILRA A allele were 3 times as likely to …develop AD as those who lacked these alleles. Show more

Informant-Reported Discrimination, Dementia, and Cognitive Impairment in Older Brazilians
Authors: Farfel, Jose M. | Barnes, Lisa L. | Capuano, Ana | Sampaio, Maria Carolina de Moraes | Wilson, Robert S. | Bennett, David A.
Abstract: Background: Self-reported discrimination is a source of psychosocial stress that has been previously associated with poor cognitive function in older African Americans without dementia. Objective: Here, we examine the association of discrimination with dementia and cognitive impairment in racially diverse older Brazilians. Methods: We included 899 participants 65 years or older (34.3% Black) from the Pathology, Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Study (PARDoS), a community-based study of aging and dementia. A structured interview with informants of the deceased was conducted. The interview included the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) Scale for the diagnosis of dementia and cognitive impairment …proximate to death and the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) as a second measure of cognitive impairment. Informant-reported discrimination was assessed using modified items from the Major and Everyday Discrimination Scales. Results: Discrimination was reported by informants of 182 (20.2%) decedents and was more likely reported by informants of Blacks than Whites (25.3% versus 17.6%, p = 0.006). Using the CDR, a higher level of informant-reported discrimination was associated with higher odds of dementia (OR: 1.24, 95% CI 1.08 –1.42, p = 0.002) and cognitive impairment (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06 –1.39, p = 0.004). Similar results were observed using the IQCODE (estimate: 0.07, SE: 0.02, p = 0.003). The effects were independent of race, sex, education, socioeconomic status, major depression, neuroticism, or comorbidities. Conclusion: Higher level of informant-reported discrimination was associated with higher odds of dementia and cognitive impairment in racially diverse older Brazilians. Show more

40 Hz Light Flicker Promotes Learning and Memory via Long Term Depression in Wild-Type Mice
Authors: Tian, Tian | Qin, Xin | Wang, Yali | Shi, Yan | Yang, Xin
Abstract: Background: 40 Hz light flicker is a well-known non-invasive treatment that is thought to be effective in treating Alzheimer's disease. However, the effects of 40 Hz visual stimulation on neural networks, synaptic plasticity, and learning and memory in wild-type animals remain unclear. Objective: We aimed to explore the impact of 40 Hz visual stimulation on synaptic plasticity, place cell, and learning and memory in wild-type mice. Methods: c-Fos+ cell distribution and in vivo electrophysiology was used to explore the effects of 40 Hz chronic visual stimulation on neural networks and neuroplasticity in wild-type mice. The character of c-Fos+ …distribution in the brain and the changes of corticosterone levels in the blood were used to investigate the state of animal. Place cell analysis and novel location test were utilized to examine the effects of 40 Hz chronic visual stimulation on learning and memory in wild-type mice. Results: We found that 40 Hz light flicker significantly affected many brain regions that are related to stress. Also, 40 Hz induced gamma enrichment within 15 min after light flickers and impaired the expression of long-term potentiation (LTP), while facilitated the expression of long-term depression (LTD) in the hippocampal CA1. Furthermore, 40 Hz light flicker enhanced the expression of corticosterone, rendered well-formed place cells unstable and improved animal's learning and memory in novel local recognition test, which could be blocked by pre-treatment with the LTD specific blocker Glu2A-3Y. Conclusion: These finding suggested that 40 Hz chronic light flicker contains stress effects, promoting learning and memory in wild-type mice via LTD. Show more

Caregiving for a Spouse with Cognitive Impairment: Effects on Nutrition and Other Lifestyle Factors
Authors: Jeon, So Yeon | Kim, Jeong Lan
Abstract: Background: Being a spousal caregiver (SCG) for a patient with cognitive impairment is well known to be associated with increased risk for dementia and cognitive decline. Objective: This study examined the impact of the care-recipient's cognitive status on lifestyle factors influencing cognitive decline in SCGs, focusing on nutritional status and blood biomarkers. Methods: Fifty-one SCGs participated (mean age 73.5±7.0 years) in this study. All participants underwent clinical assessment including the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Geriatric Depression Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire to evaluate lifestyle factors, and the Mini-Mental …State Examination to assess global cognition. Also, nutritional blood biomarkers were measured. Results: SCGs caring for a demented spouse showed significantly higher depression scores (t = –3.608, p = 0.001) and malnutrition risk (t = 2.894, p = 0.006) compared to those caring for a non-demented spouse. Decreased care recipients' cognition was significantly correlated with higher GDS (β= –0.593, t = –4.471, p < 0.001) and higher MNA scores (β= 0.315, t = 2.225, p = 0.031) and lower level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (β= 0.383, t = 2.613, p = 0.012) in their SCGs. Gender had moderating effects on association of care-recipients' cognition with sleep quality (B[SE] = 0.400[0.189], p = 0.041) and HDL cholesterol (B[SE] = –1.137[0.500], p = 0.028) among SCGs. Poorer care-recipient's cognition was associated with worse sleep quality and low HDL cholesterol among wives but not husband caregivers. Conclusion: This study provides substantial evidence that SCGs are at risk for depression and malnutrition, which can further affect cognitive decline. As such, these factors should be well assessed and monitored among SCGs for patient with cognitive impairment. Show more

Effect of Apolipoprotein E4 on the Driving Behavior of Patients with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment or Mild Alzheimer's Disease Dementia
Authors: Stanitsa, Evangelia | Economou, Alexandra | Beratis, Ion | Kontaxopoulou, Dionysia | Fragkiadaki, Stella | Papastefanopoulou, Vicky | Pavlou, Dimosthenis | Papantoniou, Panagiotis | Kroupis, Christos | Papatriantafyllou, John | Stefanis, Leonidas | Yannis, George | Papageorgiou, Sokratis G.
Abstract: Background: The driving behavior of patients with mild Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is frequently characterized by errors. A genetic factor affecting cognition is apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4 ), with carriers of APOE4 showing greater episodic memory impairment than non-carriers. However, differences in the driving performance of the two groups have not been investigated. Objective: To compare driving performance in APOE4 carriers and matched non-carriers. Methods: Fourteen APOE4 carriers and 14 non-carriers with amnestic MCI or mild ADD underwent detailed medical and neuropsychological assessment and participated in a …driving simulation experiment, involving driving in moderate and high traffic volume in a rural environment. Driving measures were speed, lateral position, headway distance and their SDs, and reaction time. APOE was genotyped through plasma samples. Results: Mixed two-way ANOVAs examining traffic volume and APOE4 status showed a significant effect of traffic volume on all driving variables, but a significant effect of APOE4 on speed variability only. APOE4 carriers were less variable in their speed than non-carriers; this remained significant after a Bonferroni correction. To further examine variability in the driving performance, coefficients of variation (COV) were computed. Larger headway distance COV and smaller lateral position COV were observed in high compared to moderate traffic. APOE4 carriers had smaller speed COV compared to non-carriers. Conclusion: The lower speed variability of APOE4 carriers in the absence of neuropsychological test differences indicates reduced speed adaptations, possibly as a compensatory strategy. Simulated driving may be a sensitive method for detecting performance differences in the absence of cognitive differences. Show more

Abstract: Background: Current practice guidelines recommend against Apolipoprotein E (APOE ) testing. However, advances in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research and care may soon change this. Objective: To examine longitudinally the experience of learning an APOE result and, if an ɛ4 carrier, taking a disease-specific treatment to reduce one's risk of AD. Methods: Fifty ɛ4 carriers and 20 non-carriers completed semi-structured interviews 3 months and 15 months after APOE disclosure. Results: Individuals generally understand their APOE results. While non-carriers felt relief, ɛ4 carriers often described themselves as disappointed by …their result but nevertheless glad to know. Carriers expressed concerns about stigma and discrimination, including in the workplace. Carriers adopted new health behaviors at higher rates than non-carriers and revised their future plans to account for their increased risk of AD. Individuals participating in research were hopeful that their participation would help them or others; individuals who learned they were at increased risk for AD but who could not participate in research were disappointed. Conclusion: Providers disclosing APOE results should be sensitive to how APOE results shape emotions, self-perceptions, and attitudes about memory; raise concerns about stigma and discrimination in personal and professional relationships; influence health behaviors and decision-making; and can have follow-on effects on family members.

Corry Station's, Naval Hospital Pensacola's Newest Chief Petty Officers Don Anchors

By Glenn Sircy, Center for Information Wrafre Training
PENSACOLA, Fla. — Thirty-eight Sailors from the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT), Naval Hospital Pensacola, Navy Information Operations Command Pensacola, and Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, donned their chief petty officer (CPO) anchors during a pinning ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum onboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, Sept. 13.
The ceremony concluded a rigorous six-week CPO initiation season that began when the new CPOs were notified, July 31. Throughout the six-week period, they were required to participate in approximately 100 training, teambuilding and community relation events.
Families, friends and shipmates joined the selectees as they officially donned their coveted gold CPO fouled anchors, and earned the title of Navy chief petty officer.
Capt. Nick Andrews, commanding officer of the Center for Information Warfare Training, served as the guest speaker.
"As you step into your role as a chief, it will require you to continue to grow as a leader; it will present you with challenges; it will test your abilities; and it will try your patience. It will also be tremendously rewarding," said Andrews. "You will have far reaching and meaningful impact on all those with whom you serve. We expect each of you to always be ready, and to ensure our Navy is ready for every challenge that may develop. But also, if we are surprised by the unexpected, I expect you to rise to the occasion and respond accordingly. That is the standard of you–as the chief."
In the Navy, CPOs are the deckplate leaders that get things done. The Navy took a major step 126 years ago and created the rank of CPO to provide enlisted leadership and bridge the gap between officers and enlisted.
The process of becoming a CPO is no easy task, and as the Navy grows and evolves to protect America's interests in a fast-paced, more complex and increasingly competitive environment; more is required of CPOs to continuously drive excellence in leading our Navy team forward.
For CIWT's Command Master Chief Francisco Vargas, this CPO initiation season was especially noteworthy since it marked his first year onboard CIWT and 15th season of mentoring and molding Sailors into CPOs.
"The future of our Chiefs Mess is in great hands," shared Vargas. "Our local-area chiefs dedicated countless hours developing and mentoring this year's chief selects into our next generation of chief petty officers. I am proud of their accomplishments, and I have no doubt they are ready to fulfil the duties and responsibilities of a Navy chief.'"
During initiation season, the local-area chiefs focused on and taught the meaning of the Chief Petty Officer Creed, which is considered the cornerstone document of the Navy's CPO Mess. The CPO Creed outlines the ideals, values and expectations of every CPO. One section of the CPO Creed states, "It was our intent to impress upon you that challenge is good; a great and necessary reality which cannot mar you – which, in fact, strengthens you. In your future as a Chief Petty Officer, you will be forced to endure adversity far beyond that imposed upon you today. You must face each challenge and adversity with the same dignity and good grace you demonstrated today. By experience, by performance, and by testing, you have been this day advanced to Chief Petty Officer."
Senior Chief Cryptologic Technician (Networks) Anthony J. Thrush, chairperson of this year's CPO initiation committee, was very impressed with efforts put forth by both the initiated chiefs and those hoping to be a part of the Chiefs Mess during the initiation season.
"Over the past six weeks, our Chief's Mess worked together to forge 38 first class petty officers into tested and tried chief petty officers," said Thrush. "The weight of the anchors are heavy and the new chiefs understand it is only going to get harder from here. I have the utmost confidence they will succeed and I feel the Mess is in good hands moving forward. The future is indeed bright. I am extremely fortunate to have been surrounded by such a professional team of chiefs that made this 126th year of chief petty officers initiation such a profound success."
For Chief Cryptologic Technician (Technical) Brendan Nobles of CIWT, the ceremony served as an opportunity to celebrate what is considered one of the most significant milestones of a Sailor's career.
"My new brothers, sisters, and I are now tasked with carrying the weight of anchors, of carrying the burden of leadership," shared Nobles. "We are tasked to keep the heritage of the Navy strong, and adapt our naval forces to meet the ever growing demands placed upon us."
Nobles also shared his favorite quote within the 1918 Bluejackets' Manual: "As a chief petty officer you are an expert in the details of your department. Unless you recognize that it is your duty to instruct your juniors and unless you do instruct them, and unless you endeavor to inculcate in them the knowledge of how things should be done, of how they should conduct themselves, you will have failed in your duties."
CPOs have always been and will continue to remain the backbone of the Navy. Today's newest CPOs throughout the fleet are now part of this longstanding and unique tradition that will continue to lead and prepare Sailors for the Navy the needs.
With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments, and training sites throughout the United States and Japan, CIWT is recognized as Naval Education and Training Command's top learning center for the past three years. Training over 21,000 students every year, CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services. CIWT also offers more than 200 courses for cryptologic technicians, intelligence specialists, information systems technicians, electronics technicians, and officers in the information warfare community.

An investiture is the welcoming of new members, both girls and adults, into the Girl Scout family for the first time. Rededication is the opportunity for girls and adults to renew their commitment to the Girl Scout Promise and Law.
It was a sunny beautiful day so we held the ceremony outside. After the Pledge of Allegiance and the Girl Scout Promise and Law, each girl found a place around the circle to "tie" on their ribbon representing their commitment to Girl Scouts .
Our special guest was a Color Guard ceremony presenting the American Flag.
The Juniors recited the Girls Scout Law as the Brownies and Daisies tied on their ribbon to the circular rope of the Troop.
Finally, we took Troop pictures ! Look how cute the Brownies are !

Палата Представників Японії (, сюґі-ін) — нижня Палата Парламенту Японії.

Короткі відомості
Палата Представників була заснована 1947 року, у зв'язку із набуттям чинності нової Конституції Японії та скликанням нового повоєнного двопалатного Парламенту. Палата стала формальним продовжувачем Палати Представників Імперського Парламенту Японії, заснованої 1890 року.

Статус і повноваження Палата Представників Японії визначені діючою Конституцією та Законом про Парламент 1947 року.

Палата Представників Японії формується з 480 депутатів, термін повноважень яких становить 4 роки (Конституція. Стаття 45). 180 депутатів обираються за пропорційною системою з 11 багатомандатних виборчих округів, а решта 300 — з одномандатних. Виборче право мають японські громадяни, які досягли 20 років, а право бути обраним до Палати мають японські громадяни старші 25 років.

Палата Представників має більші права ніж верхня Палата Радників японського Парламенту: вона має право накладати вето на законопроєкти Палати Радників більшістю не менш як дві треті присутніх депутатів і приймати закони, навіть якщо їхні законопроєкти були відкинуті Палатою Радників (Конституція. Стаття 59. Абзац 2). Палаті Представників також належить першість розгляду проєкту бюджету та питання ратифікації міжнародних договорів (Конституція. Стаття 60, Стаття 61, Стаття 67. Абзац 2). Вона також має право висловлювати довіру чи недовіру Кабінету Міністрів Японії

Усі рішення в Палаті Представників є дійсними, якщо вони прийняті не менш як третиною присутніх в залі засідань депутатів Палати (Конституція. Стаття 56).

Палату очолює Голова Палати Представників та його заступник. На їх посади як правило призначаються депутат від партії чи коаліції партій більшості і депутат від меншості, відповідно. В Палаті діє кілька комітетів, завданням яких є нагляд і оцінка дій виконавчої влади.

Місце засідань Палати Представників знаходиться у Залі засідань Парламенту Японії

Палата Представників після виборів у листопаді 2021 року
У листопаді 2021 року, відбулися парламентські вибори на яких обирався новий склад нижньої палати (палати представників) японського парламенту. Після підрахунку голосів, були оголошені офіційні результати виборів:

Ліберально-демократична партія (ЛДП) отримала 261 мандат (що на 15 мандати менше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту).

Партія "Комейто" отримала 25 мандатів(що на 3 мандати більше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту.

Партія "Комуністи" отримали 10 мандатів, (що на 3 мандати менше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту).

Партія "Інновація" отримала 41 мандат, (що на 30 мандатів більше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту).

Партія "Конституційно - демократична" (CDP) отримала 96 мандатів (що на 13 мандатів менше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту).

Інші партії загалом отримали 25 мандатів(що на 3 мандати менше ніж у попередньому скликанні парламенту)

Варто зазначити, що апатія виборців позначилася на явці на виборах, яка становила трохи менш як 56%, що стало третім мінімумом з моменту закінчення другої світової війни.
