Identifying the Link between Unemployment and Crime in the Philippines
This study investigates the relationship between unemployment and crime in the Philippines. It concludes that there is weak support for the negative (opportunity effect) relationship between unemployment and crime. The use of national-level time series data is probably an inappropriate way to test the unemployment-crime relationship because unemployment and crime variables have been demonstrated to exhibit a tremendous degree of variability at the local level.

How to be free : an ancient guide to the stoic life : Encheiridion and selections from Discourses
\"Born a slave, the Roman Stoic philosopher Epictetus (c. 55-135 AD) taught that mental freedom is supreme, since it can liberate one anywhere, even in a prison ... Freedom, for Epictetus, is not a human right or a political prerogative but a psychological and ethical achievement, a gift that we alone can bestow on ourselves ... How to Be Free features splendid new translations and the original Greek on facing pages, a compelling introduction that sets Epictetus in context and describes the importance of Stoic freedom today, and an invaluable glossary of key words and concepts. The result is an unmatched introduction to this powerful method of managing emotions and handling life's situations, from the most ordinary to the most demanding.\"--Provided by the publisher.
