LONDON [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-bailey-button-sheepskin-short-5803-marina-baratas.html]Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short 5803 Marina Baratas[/url] , Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Half a century after they took the world by storm, the legacy of the Beatles earns 119 million U.S. dollars a year for their home city of Liverpool. Moreover, the 'Beatles industry' in the city is growing at 15 percent a year.


That was the finding of the first academic study into the ongoing impact on Liverpool of the 1960s band which was made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.


The report highlights the changing demographics of the Beatles' industry markets [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-bailey-button-sheepskin-short-5803-chestnut-rebajas.html]Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short 5803 Chestnut Rebajas[/url] , particularly the Beatles' new popularity in China, Brazil and among a growing number of younger fans. The emerging markets add to the popularity of existing Beatles fans in Britain, Europe and the United States.


Collaboratively produced by Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool through the Institute of Cultural Capital, European Institute of Urban Affairs and the Institute of Popular Music, the report shows the Beatles 'industry' in the city supports 2 [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-bailey-button-sheepskin-short-5803-sand-baratas.html]Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short 5803 Sand Baratas[/url] ,335 jobs.


The report has triggered the city's thinking on how to protect the legacy of the Beatles.


"In addition to the 81.9 million pounds a year generated by the band's heritage, the report reveals the Beatles-related economy is growing by up to 15 percent a year and there is further significant growth potential," said a spokeswoman with the Liverpool John Moores University.


The report says a key challenge for the city will be to 'curate' and maintain the authenticity of the Beatles heritage for both existing and future fans and visitors to Liverpool.


"This report clearly indicates the importance of the Beatles as a cultural and economic resource to Liverpool. There is a strong belief that the city will go on attracting visitors through its Beatles connection long into the future," said the lead author of the report, Professor Simeon Yates from the Institute of Cultural Capital.


"There is a risk to the city's reputation if it does not ensure the quality of services [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-bailey-button-sheepskin-short-5803-negras-baratas.html]Botas Mujer UGG Bailey Button Sheepskin Short 5803 Negras Baratas[/url] , attractions and products are maintained by those who come into contact with visitors wanting to explore the heritage of the Beatles," Yates said.


One of the main recommendations of the report is to establish a 'Beatles Legacy' group that will explore how to best develop the sector.


"We need to convey the core point that Liverpool was not just the birthplace of the Beatles, it was their cradle; what they learned as Liverpudlians they took into the world. The still fresh music of the Beatles reminds us who we are and who we could become," said Mike Jones with the University of Liverpool's Institute of Popular Music.


The report says the Beatles heritage is a valuable route into other aspects of Liverpool's heritage including its maritime past, modern history and contemporary cultural scene.


"This is the first step in a journey to protect the legacy of Liverpool's famous sons and ensure it continues to attract visitors for generations to come. We wanted a report which would use tangible evidence and analysis to tell us exactly what the legacy of the Beatles is to Liverpool. Everyone knows the Beatles have had a big impact on the city [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-tall-5815-grises-espa-a.html]Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Tall 5815 Grises España[/url] , but now we know exactly what that is," said Liverpool's Mayor Joe Anderson.


In one of their 1960s hits, "Money," the Beatles sing the line "now give me money, that's what I want [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/rebajas-botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-tall-5815-chestnut.html]Rebajas Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Tall 5815 Chestnut[/url] ," and that is exactly what their fame continues to generate for their hometown of Liverpool.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- In her first testimony to the Congress, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen reiterated central bank's plan to taper its stimulus exit despite recent weakness in the economy.


The current economic situation and outlook, as well as the monetary policy, were the main focus of the hearing held twice a year.


Yellen told lawmakers she expected "a great deal of continuity" in the central bank's monetary policy [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/comprar-botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-tall-5815-negras.html]Comprar Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Tall 5815 Negras[/url] , saying that she served on the Fed policy-setting committee as the bank formulated its current policy strategy and she strongly supported that strategy.


Yellen, 67, took the oath of office to lead the Federal Reserve System on Feb. 3, succeeding Ben Bernanke, who stepped down after eight turbulent years. She was previously the Fed's vice Chair.


In the public debut in her new role [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-tall-5815-sand-espa-a.html]Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Tall 5815 Sand España[/url] , Yellen said while the economy gained steam at the end of 2013, recovery in the U.S. labor market was "far from complete," underscoring the importance of considering more than just the unemployment rate when evaluating the conditions of the labor market.


Her point of keeping an eye on wider range of labor indicators is particularly important as the unemployment rate, now at 6.6 percent, is near the 6.5 percent threshold the Fed once identified as the level that would need to be reached before officials would consider a hike in the interest rates.


"If coming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its long-run objective [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-short-5825-grises-comprar.html]Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Short 5825 Grises Comprar[/url] , the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings," Yellen indicated steady pullback in Fed stimulus, referring to the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets monetary policy.


While admitting she was "surprised" by the two recent jobs reports that showed the pace of job creation running under what she had expected, Yellen cautioned against jumping to conclusions of the longer trend. She told the Congress that the Fed needs to see a "notable change" in the economic outlook to consider pausing its withdrawal of stimulus.


The Fed trimmed its monthly purchases of Treasury and mortgage- backed securities by a total of 10 billion dollars in both December and January [url=http://www.botasrebajas.es/comprar-botas-mujer-ugg-classic-sheepskin-short-5825-chestnut.html]Comprar Botas Mujer UGG Classic Sheepskin Short 5825 Chestnut[/url] , citing strengthening economy and continued improvement in the labor market.


The Fed policymakers have suggested they would continue to reduce the bond buying, which now totals 65 bi.
