Quando le farfalle mettono le ali. Osservazioni sull'ingresso delle donne nel lavoro dipendente
[Butterfly's wings. Women entrance into the labor market]
AbstractThe entrance of young people in the labour market at older ages than in the past is correlated to the increased trend in education. Both these changes, the delay in entrances and the increase in the number of years spent at school, are much more marked in the case of women. One additional school year has a larger return in the case of women than in the case of men as a better education is associated with the possible choice of a job 'nice, clean and respectable', and this is more relevant for women than for men, in particular in the Veneto small firms milieu, and because education performs an 'insurance' role which palys a major role in the case of women. The study is based on a longitudinal panel built on the Italian Social Security Archives of employees in the two provinces of Treviso and Vicenza from 1975 to 1997. Such a huge set of data allows the study of first entrances of young people in the labour market. First entrances are studied for age and year of birth cohorts and are meaningfully correlated with parameters relative to the enrollment trend in primary and secondary education. The different gender behaviour is underlined and discussed.

Cause for Creation
Musician and artist Walter Salas-Humara creates for the sake of it
By Barry Montgomery
Many professional musicians spend a huge chunk of their lives on the road, plying their art in an endless string of one-night stands in bars and nightclubs. They also typically make their permanent home in a major metropolis that gives them easy access to record labels, recording studios and industry contacts. Walter Salas-Humara has had his fair share of this lifestyle, dividing the bulk of the past three decades between New York, Los Angeles and heavy touring both with his band, the Silos, and as a solo act.
In recent years, though, he's been making some serious changes. He's sharply pared back his touring schedule and taken up a second career in painting. And in late 2008, Salas-Humara checked out of the urban jungle, moving from New York to Flagstaff. The move was motivated by his budding relationship with longtime Flagstaff resident Amy Daggett, whom he's known since the two attended high school together in Colorado. But it's clear that Salas- Humara really appreciates the local culture and community, too.
"I really like how un-materialistic people are here," he says. "People seem to really care about each other, care about the community, and care about the environment. People talk about their work very little. You don't get the sort of voracious networking that's so common in a lot of urban places. People talk to you because they're friendly, not because they're sizing you up, thinking 'What can I get out of him? What can he do for my career?'
"The fact that the whole culture here revolves around the outdoors is so … refreshing," he says, breaking into a contagious laugh at this implicit comparison to life in New York and L.A. Salas- Humara takes full advantage of the opportunities for outdoor adventure our area offers. He's a voracious skier and also loves hiking and boating. One of his most recent adventures was a week- long kayaking trip down the Green River.
A quarter century of music-making
Salas-Humara started the Silos in the mid-'80s, and the music press often refers to the band as an ahead-of-their-time example of the Americana/roots rock/alt-country genre. But Salas-Humara doesn't really see these or any of the many other labels critics have come up with for his music as meaningful or accurate. When pressed, he describes it as "organic indie rock."
"It's music in the service of the song," he explains. "Although there are some great solos and so forth, it's not really about solos or jam- outs. It's mostly about the songs, with instrumentation that's fairly natural and a style that I think is pretty clearly rock."
Guitar, bass and drums have always been at the core of the Silos' sound, but the band has sometimes incorporated violin, organ, pedal steel guitar or horns into its songs. Although he loves to combine new instruments and elements of different musical genres, Salas-Humara holds true to his "natural" credo, avoiding big production flourishes, studio trickery and fleeting musical trends.
The Silos really hit their musical stride on the album Cuba, released in 1987. Salas-Humara's dusky voice provides earnest, plaintive delicacy on the album's slower songs, and a lusty, full- throated howl for its driving rockers. "Tennessee Fire", the album's rousing opening track—complete with a maniacal, sawing violin solo that recalls John Cale's viola work for the Velvet Underground— became a big college radio hit. Among the slower songs, the beautiful "Going Round" makes imaginative use of a string quartet. The album earned truckloads of critical hosannas, and the Silos were named the Most Promising New Band in the Rolling Stone critics' poll that year.
The critical raves continued with subsequent Silos releases, but unfortunately these never translated into large-scale commercial success. Nevertheless, an enthusiastic cult following has kept Salas-Humara going for the past 25 years, over which he has released nearly 20 albums, a minority of these under his own name rather than the Silos' banner. He estimates that 50 musicians have been a part of what he calls the Silos' "musical collective" over this time period. In Salas-Humara's eyes, no one ever becomes an ex- Silo—he plans on using at least 20 members of this extended musical family on the Silos album he's currently working on.
Canvas Canines
When Salas-Humara took up a paintbrush six or seven years ago, it wasn't for the first time, and he certainly wasn't just another successful musician with a dilettantish interest in the visual arts. "I started out as a painter," he explains. "That's the reason I moved to New York in the first place, back in 1982. Back then I did large, abstract color fields—very mid-20th century, in that sort of abstract expressionist style of the late '50s, '60s, and early '70s." He found, unfortunately, that the art world was an almost impossible one to make a living in, and when his music career took off, it ended up absorbing all of his artistic attention for the next two decades.
Salas-Humara took something of a new tack when he returned to painting. "I still wanted to make modern paintings," he explains. "In other words, I wanted them to be two-dimensional, rather than creating illusionistic space. But I wanted to make paintings that people would like." He chose as his subject imaginary and sometimes impossible dogs that inhabit a two-dimensional, boldly colored universe. There's not even a passing concession to realism here—even the dogs with the "correct" number of heads and legs have no noses or mouths, just eyes staring out of otherwise blank faces. Salas-Humara also paints commissioned portraits of actual dogs, which he renders in a slightly more representational vein, but even these are spiced with a sense of playful whimsy.
"My art heroes are people like Ellsworth Kelly and Jasper Johns, but these guys are acquired tastes that not everybody can get with," Salas-Humara explains. "So I create paintings that combine qualities of the abstract art I like with fun imagery that anybody can relate to, even kids. I originally started off doing these dog paintings as gifts for my nieces and nephews."
He's found the Flagstaff art scene to be refreshingly unpretentious. "The arts are supported in a very generous way here," he says. "There doesn't seem to be the kind of snobby, 'the art I like is cooler than the art you like' mentality that goes on in a lot of places."
Music for a different stage
A few years ago, Salas-Humara also struck up an unlikely songwriting partnership with Jonathan Lethem, the brilliant author responsible for best-selling and critically lauded novels such as "Fortress of Solitude," "Chronic City" and "Motherless Brooklyn." Lethem is more of a passionate and very knowledgeable music fan than an actual musician, but his inimitable way with words lets him knock out intricately composed lyrics with astonishing speed. The pair co-wrote the entire 2008 album You Are All My People at Lethem's house in Maine in just three days. Salas-Humara describes it as "just a collection of songs, really, despite all my efforts to get Jonathan to collaborate with me on a rock opera, or some kind of thematic, conceptual work. He was dead set against it then, but now he's come full circle."
The duo is now in the process of writing a musical theater piece. "It's in the works. We have a bunch of the songs written and Jonathan has written a couple monologues," Salas-Humara says. "Really the next step is to figure out how to stage it, and then we can figure out how to continue with the music and everything else. We're interviewing directors now." It promises to be an exciting new chapter in Salas-Humara's multi-faceted career.

I was a freshman the first time I learned Generation Y is supposed to save the world.
It was my first semester at DePauw University and I was reading a marketing book for an honors media course. The author explained that Gen X is the lazy generation, the product of being too spoiled by Baby Boomer parents.
But Gen Y—also known as the Millennials—is the group that taps into the pre-corporate world Baby Boomer-style, out for social change through activism.
A few years later I found myself researching my generation while interning under the sales director of two radio stations in Nashville, Tenn. As I read, I became intrigued with piecing together what Gen Y was all about.
In the face of a bad economy, Gen Y may be dazed into believing the tales that we're lazy, cell phone-obsessed, and that we know more about Justin Bieber than politics. But here's why Gen Y will save the world, even if we don't find jobs:
We seek out meaningful opportunities.
We aren't just settling for flipping burgers or working as telemarketers. Instead, we seek out opportunities that allow room for professional and personal growth.
Service opportunities are a priority. This article reports that over half of 20-somethings want to find work at companies that are big on providing volunteer opportunities. So maybe we're a little picky at times, but it's because our social conscious speaks loudly.
It's all about the cause.
Gen Y tends to extend social consciousness into consumer habits, as well. The Radio Advertising Bureau reports that over half of Millennials feel that it's their role to make a positive impact on the world, and over three-quarters claim that companies should help with this.
Gen Y is therefore more likely to choose brands that are heavily involved in a cause or have demonstrated social and environmentally conscious practices. They will pay attention to where they spend their money and will easily switch to a brand that is in line with something they believe in.
We're redefining home.
Even real estate is impacted by the savvy Millennials. The typical Gen Y member is looking for a lifestyle. Fortunately, it's a positive one. Melissa Birdsong writes in her article, "Gen Y— Leading the Charge into the Future," that members of this generation are happy to escape from the cookie-cutter suburbs. We find the opportunity to fix up an older home worthwhile, and that part of our duty is to "recycle and reuse."
Neighborhoods that are multicultural are appealing and reflect the worlds we grew up in and encountered at school. We are also much more likely to choose a home for its neighborhood and the experience it offers: easy walking access to restaurants, shops, entertainment and public transportation. Therefore, we're driving urban revitalization. The cities and neighborhoods that became ghost towns as our grandparents and great-grandparents moved to the suburbs may find new life.
We want a life.
This USA TODAY article says it best: "They want to work, but they don't want work to be their life." To some of the older generations it may sound lazy. But Gen Y is frequently the offspring of workaholic parents. Therefore, is it bad that we want to find a balance and enjoy our lives?
John McWethy, a now-deceased former national security correspondent for ABC News and an alum of my school, spoke at the class of 2003's commencement ceremony. In his speech he offered the lesson to "never confuse your career with your life." This line has been brought up several times during my four years in college, every time by other alums that interacted with and respected him. In a way, I think it's a motto of Gen Y. We want to do awesome things and have a productive career. But we want to travel, we want to enjoy the arts, and some of us want to marry and have kids. We're all about the balance.
As I look at my peers and prepare to graduate in three short months, I see that we, the proud Gen Y, are ready to get started in this crazy world. Like many of the articles reported, the people I know are intelligent, interested in urban life and mass transportation, have dedicated themselves to incredible service ventures, and are interested in a multicultural world. We see ourselves as successful and happy. Maybe the cruel world will burst our bubble, but maybe we'll survive and make the world a little better in the process.

The great Star Trek vs. Star Wars debate is a generation(s)-old duel between epic sci-fi franchises that often sucks other pop culture texts into its swirling cycle, like, most recently, Ke$ha's supremely imitable "Tik Tok" video. Now that both space cowboy narratives have birthed "Tik Tok" parodies, it's time to figure out which one will stand the test of intergalactic travel.
The Star Trek-"Tik Tok" Mashup
The work of a true fan who, presumably, owns all the original Star Trek seasons on DVD, this supercut mashup has the added advantage of conveying quite nicely just how awesome Star Trek can be, something detractors refuse to acknowledge. Bonus points for the implications of homosocial desire between Kirk and Spock.
The Star Wars-Themed "Tik Tok" Parody
This doesn't necessarily reflect any particular Star Wars nerd-dom per se, so much as a very thorough attempt to create a viral video. But damn if the props, costumes and editing aren't pretty much perfect—and the minivan-as-budget Millennium Falcon is pure genius. Bonus points for judicious gender-blind casting.
Verdict: It's... a tie! The phasers in the first are stunning, but the Force is strong with the latter. The battle to be the greatest sci-fi franchise continues!

"And near the end of the meal, she'll want a Dr. Pepper," Santana says, nodding at Brittany.
"Oh, right, that's right," Sandy says, suddenly remembering.
"So what's the news with glee club?" Santana asks. "Has Finny destroyed it yet?"
"Almost. He keeps trying to act like Mr. Schue. He only writes one-word topics on the board, and he does that really uncomfortable shoulder clap to Artie, like, all the time."
"Sounds like Finn," Santana snorts.
"It's definitely different. The new kids have way too much drama between them, and Blaine spends all of his time crying—like I'm pretty sure he must have those Sarah McLachlan animal commercials playing in his mind, like, all the time—but Sugar and Tina and I hang out a lot, and we have fun."
"Good. I miss them."
"They miss you, too. They're always asking me about you."
Santana looks down at her salad. "And what do you say?"
Brittany smiles. "That you're as awesome as ever."
Santana meets her eyes, and then they both laugh because they don't know what else to do.
"Tell me about U of L," Brittany says as she picks off one of her shrimp.
"Well, classes are good, cheerleading is almost over, and my friends have already started arguing about housing arrangements for next year."
"Oh," Brittany laughs. "Is that a big deal?"
"I don't know, kind of. Megan's trying to micromanage, of course, and Taylor wants to live off campus, and Jess and I don't want to deal with any of it yet."
"Sounds intense."
"Not as bad as glee squabbling," Santana offers.
"Or trying to work out cheer camp sleeping arrangements. Remember how mad Quinn was freshman year?"
"Because we wouldn't agree to share a tent with her Snore Queen ass? I don't regret it."
"Neither do I," Brittany says, "especially since you kissed me that one night."
Santana blushes and her eyes go soft. "Yeah," she says. "I don't know what I was thinking."
"I think you weren't thinking at all," Brittany says seriously, "and that's why it was perfect."
"Do you want to get a Redbox?" Santana asks as they leave the restaurant.
"Okay, sure. Did you see Madagascar 3 yet?"
"No," Santana laughs. "I gotta be honest, I haven't seen many of those movies since we—"
She stops suddenly, and Brittany pulls her lips into her mouth, watching her.
"Sorry," Santana says.
"It's okay," Brittany says. "I know I have silly taste in movies."
"You have great taste in movies," Santana says, and she speaks the words so quickly and earnestly that Brittany can't do more than breathe. "I just meant that I—well I don't exactly have anyone in my life who would want to watch those movies with me, other than you, and even if someone suggested it, I'd say no, just because it wouldn't feel right to watch them without you—"
"San," Brittany says, pulling on a lock of her hair. "Come on, let's go to Redbox."
They end up renting Love, Actually, because the local Redbox has been stocked for Christmas, and because this film has always been one of their favorites.
"I haven't seen this since we watched it together last Christmas," Santana says quietly.
"Me neither."
"Funny how that happens."
"Yeah, Britt?"
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
"I—" Santana frowns. "I told you, I wanted to take you out on a date."
"No," Brittany says quietly. "This is bigger than that. Why are you here?"
Santana looks hard at her. She swallows and drops her arms to her sides, still clutching the Redbox DVD in her hand, and Brittany recognizes the girl who came to her locker all those months ago.
—that I love you. I love you! And I don't wanna be with Sam, or Finn, or any of those other guys—I just want you.
Brittany takes the DVD out of Santana's hand and drops it to the concrete. She places her hand along Santana's jaw and holds Santana's eyes with her own.
"You asked me a long time ago," she says, "to say that I loved you back."
Santana lowers her head and looks up at her with those dark frightened eyes—What about you and I?—and Brittany reaches for her hand.
"I do love you back. I loved you then, and I love you now, and we don't have to be official girlfriends and we don't have to Skype all the time and we don't have to promise forever yet—but I love you and I want to be with you. Can't that be enough?"
Santana's tears spill out of her eyes and down her face, and she wipes them with her coat sleeve while Brittany wants nothing more than to kiss them away, and then she sniffs a few times and says, "I want to be with you too."
"Then let's be together."
"You don't hate me for breaking us up?"
"No," Brittany says, with half a laugh and half a cry. "No."
"Will you kiss me even though I'm crying?"
Brittany cries and laughs again, and so does Santana, and for a few seconds they rest their foreheads against each other's and swallow down the rest of their tears. Then Brittany smoothes Santana's hair back, clutches the back of her head, and kisses her. It's wet and sloppy, and they both laugh a little bit as it happens, but as soon as they pull away Brittany wants nothing more than for it to happen again.
Santana squeezes Brittany's fingers and her breath catches. "I missed that."
"Me too."
"Do you know, the morning after we broke up, I started crying after I put my lip gloss on?"
"I didn't think you'd ever kiss me again," Santana says, "and here I'd gone and put lip gloss over our very last kiss."
"Santana," Brittany breathes. She moves closer to her and kisses her again.
They turn the movie on in the darkness of Brittany's basement. Santana sits wrapped up in a fleece blanket, and when Brittany turns away from the DVD player and walks back toward the couch, Santana opens her arms to invite Brittany into the blanket with her.
"You're so warm," Santana whispers.
Brittany laughs. "You always say that."
"I've missed it."
They cuddle up and let the sounds and scenes of the movie wash over them. Santana rests her head on Brittany's shoulder and Brittany loses herself in the scent of Santana's hair, so sweet and so strong that Brittany feels like she's baptizing herself with it. She kisses Santana's hair and with each kiss she feels like her heart reconstructs itself just a little bit more.
"'M falling asleep," Santana mumbles.
"I know," Brittany says into her hair. "It's okay."
"Okay," Santana says quietly.
They wake up the next morning with sore necks and tight limbs. Brittany doesn't remember having fallen asleep.
"Hey," Santana says as she rubs her eyes.
"Hi," Brittany says as she stretches her arms and legs.
"Sorry I fell asleep on you."
"I'm glad you did."
"Can I make you breakfast?"
"Only if I can make you coffee."
Santana smiles. "Deal."
They carry their scrambled eggs and toast out onto Brittany's back deck. It's early and cold, but they have the fleece blanket with them.
"So—what do we do now?" Santana asks.
Brittany studies her while she chews her toast. "We eat our breakfast."
"I mean about us."
"I know."
"It's hard to make this work, Britt. It's hard to be away from you."
Brittany takes her hand. She runs her thumb over each one of Santana's fingers, then draws circles into her palm. "We'll figure it out as we go. I don't care how we make it work as long as we can be together."
Santana leans into her and presses her lips against her shoulder. "Okay."
Brittany kisses her forehead. "Good. Now eat your toast, or I'm gonna steal it."
"I'll come over later," Santana says as she puts her coat on.
"I know. Tell your parents I say hi."
"I will."
"Button this up," Brittany says, tugging on her coat. "I don't want you to get cold."
"I won't get cold, Britt," Santana laughs.
"You're a Kentucky girl now. I just want to make sure."
"I'll always be an Ohio girl at heart," Santana says, and when Brittany looks at her, her eyes are dark and deep.
They kiss each other goodbye. Santana walks out to the driveway, and when she reaches her car, she turns around and winks at Brittany. Brittany leans against the doorframe and watches her go.

I got this as a sample awhile ago and just started using it. I was amazed at how it brightened up my under-eye area (applied over concealer, of course). A little goes a long way -- I just dabbed a tiny bit on using my pinky finger (didn't realize you're supposed to use a fluffy brush!) and it really helped.

I have used this powder for quite some time now! I really do think it works, I have severe dark circles and have yet to find my perfect concealer but if i top with this, it does make a difference. I apply it with a medium sized fluffy brush and blend it into my undereyes, going out towards the sides of my face and onto the cheek area. I believe that it does work, you just have to use it right.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I think the people who rate this poorly just aren't using it right. This is not a stand alone concealer. This is a finely milled powder to set your undereye concealer WITH. If you have lines, using a regular powder will not be pretty. This definitely brightens up the area as well. I've had no problems with the lid coming off, packaging is perfect. I use it with a smallish fluffy UD brush I got with a palette of theirs with great results. I have super dark circles and with BB correcter, Lancome Effecernes, and this, I don't look like I've been pulling all nighters for a month. :) Oh, and anyone complaining about the price -- this stuff lasts a LONG time. It's a bargain. I don't really get people who review stuff poorly because of price... you knew what it cost when you bought it. To say it works but is too expensive? Not helpful!
In short -- it works and is well worth the price. :)

I just don't get it... I've had this for quite a while and still don't get it... It does nothing for me except actually illuminate the darkness and lines under my eyes like a big ol' spotlight.
Evidently I fell for the presentation on qvc or hsn or whatever. This stuff is useless to me.
I can't get over all the good reviews. That's what made me keep trying it, but I just can't get it to work.

First real thing I've bought at a "counter" at 48 years old, but the fac is a changin'!!! So pleased. I almost slipped out without talking to the woman about "how" to apply correctly! Glad I stuck around.
Tip the container upside down and back again. Dip a fluffy brush (they have one just for this powder) and using just what remains on the lid, PRESSING it into place, no sweeping! This stuff will last FOREVER like this and it works great to brighten and set concealer!! Love it! My skin is kind of light-medium and I got #1. I don't use it to cover dark circles, don't think it would work for that, but it definately adds a brighteness and finish that is what I needed.

I love this stuff! Really brightens the eye area. I use YSL Radiant Touch as an under eye conceler as I dont have dark circles just some small lines and this really finishes it off nicely without acccentuating the lines at all. Usually I cant put powder under my eyes - a moist look is just better for those little lines and I just want a finished look. This stuff is so much better than just the YSL by itself. And it will last for a long time as it only takes a small amount. I use a foundation brush and just pat a little under each eye and on the cheek bone sometimes too. Great product!

SUPERB! This brightening powder erases the darkness around the eyes, stays smooth, doesn't disappear during the day, never settles into the creases, and sets concealer. I apply this after foundation, then this product, then blush, then finishing powder. Although other posters use this as an eyeshadow colour, I have not done this yet.
I would definitely re-purchase and this this smaller "pot" will last for some time.

I use this to set my Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, but I really don't understand the hype. It does help my concealer not to crease, but I can't say it does anything other than that. I didn't notice the brightening effect at all. I will use it up (and it will take me a couple of years lol), but wouldn't buy again since it is nothing special.
More reviews by olympialetantoli
I've had this for two years, I have plenty left in it and i say I use it almost twice a week. Only when I'm going out for something special. Or if I've used a dark eyeshadow and the fall out from that eyeshadow will give me black eyes underneath.
Its not a staple. But necessary if you are superficial as I am. It works better with a brush ....but i refused to pay 28 bucks for the brush. Instead I dab it underneath...and then do my eyeshadow and then blend it in. It does brighten, I notice the difference instantly. But you know... its not necessary.
I dont like the package...but then again I dont know how else they could package the product. The top comes unscrewed sooo easily! I've nearly lost all the powder more than twice in my makeupcase. So its best to leave it at home & UPRIGHT.
I don't know if I'll buy again ONLY because I have sooo much of it left. I might have it for another three years at this rate. A little does go a long way.
My cousin who has heavy dark circles under her eyes loves this and I was impressed when I put it on her and it did minimise the darkshadows for her...shame they dont sell it in Greece or else I'd have bought it for her.
Its very pricey which is unattractive as well.
More reviews by GonnaBeARockStar
I love this product, however I don't know if its absoulutely necessary :P It really helps brighten the under eye area without making it look dry. I always put this on top of my concealer when I want to look my best. When I'm in a hurry I usually just forget it. It also helps my eyeliner to stay on longer and run less. I use a big eyeshadow brush to apply to under eyes and sometimes around the inner corners of my eyes as well. The powder itself is very smooth. Its white with some pretty small shimmers. Not too over the top at all.

The Notre Dame Irish are a well under a month away from their epic title showdown with Alabama, and they got some encouraging news on the offensive end today. Head coach Brian Kelly announced that third-leading receiver DaVaris Daniels is on pace to make his return in the national championship game on January 7th.
Daniels suffered a broken clavicle in Notre Dame's win over Boston College earlier this year. But when he sustained the injury, there was some minor hope that the Irish would get him back in time for the postseason.
Thanks to the hard play of the Irish, they gave their teammate the maximum amount of time to heal as the title game is the final major bowl game played in the BCS season.
"He looks really good," Kelly said. "He's going to be able to be a key contributor for us."
Daniels doesn't have a touchdown this season but he is the third best receiver on the Irish roster. He totaled 25 receptions for 375 yards before going down with the injury, but any kind of offensive help against an intense Alabama defense will be greatly appreciated.
At the moment, Daniels is transitioning from non-contact drills to full contact in practice. It's not certain that he will be healthy enough to play, but with the Irish playing for the crown of college football, the motivation is already very much in place for Daniels to meet the deadline.

Apple Inc. said Monday that it has sold one million of its new iPad tablet computers in the month after its launch, meaning it has been selling them more than twice as fast as it sold the iPhone back when it was new.
Image via CrunchBase
The 3G model can access AT&T's cellular broadband network. The first models had only Wi-Fi access.
Apple has already the delayed the international launch of the device, saying sales in the U.S. were unexpectedly strong. It's planning to start taking orders for the iPad from international buyers on May 10.
"One million iPads in 28 days -- that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone," said CEO Steve Jobs in a prepared statement. He added that demand exceeds supply for the tablet.

Dual Citizenship
Citizenship is most commonly acquired by birth, marriage, or naturalization. When immigrating to a different
country and taking up citizenship through e.g. naturalization, you become an individual with dual citizenship.
Multiple or dual citizenship is not something one can "apply for".
Every country makes its own rules as to who its citizens will be.
When being a dual citizen, you are bound by the rules of the local country you actual reside in. For example,
an Indian citizen who moves to the United Kingdom and takes up U.K. citizenship must adhere to local rules
and regulations pending on what country he or she stays in. The Indian individual does now have Indian rules
to abide by when visiting India and U.K. rules to follow when residing in the U.K. Citizenship is a complex issue,
and it is important that foreign citizens that wish to immigrate to the European Union is aware of their own and
new rules and regulations for dual citizenship.
How can the European Union Benefit You ?
- Become a citizen of an EU country
- Become a resident of an EU country
- Marry an EU citizen/resident
- Obtain an "EU Passport"
- Work temporary in any of the member countries
Overview: The European Union (EU) consists of 27 individual countries, which entitles all citizens to live, travel
and work in the country of their choice. Citizens can freely travel, work, retire, or just vacate without any problems
in any EU country. The European Union provides individuals and families with choices that other individual countries
around the world cannot offer. The "Single Market" that was created in 1993 states that people, money, services, and
good can move freely within the European Union. Currently over 450 million EU citizens are provided with these options.
Opportunities: The 27 EU countries have different immigration programs in terms of foreign work programs,
ways to obtain citizenship, unemployment rates, inheritance of citizenship, and other official immigration programs
which allows individuals to live in one or several EU countries. Some immigration programs can end with
a citizenship while other programs are time limited and related to work or tourism. The advantage
of citizenship in an EU country is that the laws and regulations of the EU is applicable to any country
that you decide to live and work in.
EU Citizenship: The Treaty of Maastricht states that
Every person holding the nationality of a Member State of the European Union
is, as a result, a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union supplements
national citizenship without replacing it. It is made up of a set of fundamental
rights and obligations enshrined in the EC Treaty among which it is worth
underlining the right not to be discriminated on the basis of the nationality.
This means that an individual who becomes a citizen of any EU country automatically is granted EU citizenship.
EU citizenship is not a separate "national" citizenship, but is related to the individual's rights in any of the
27 EU countries. For example, a citizen of Poland has the right to move to Spain and work/retire legally.
Citizenship vs. Residency: There is a fundamental difference between becoming a citizen and a resident
of any EU country. Citizenship is normally obtained through birth, marriage, long-term residency and family
relations. Only citizens can obtain a passport. A resident with the legal right to live and work in an EU country
holds a foreign citizenship and passport. However, different countries have different rules and regulations for
how long an individual can be a resident before it is possible to apply for citizenship. A resident that gets married
to a citizen can apply for citizenship. Dealing with foreign governments in a different language is not always easy,
which is why we are here to help you.

I strongly disagree with the lack of challenge; they have a very open ended curriculum and students can take themselves as far as they wish. The comment about Lansing was rude and uncalled for--Waverly and Lansing serve their students to the best of their abilities. I think Colt is a strong building and love the new K-1 concept. Staff and administration work hard and meet students neeeds.
This school is not challenging enough for my children. Waverly schools have changed a lot since we were in school. They aren't any better than Lansing Public schools really.
I love this school. I have a son in this school and he loves his teachers
Colt is a wonderful elementary school. Teachers are great. My son attended Kindergarten and 1st grade and I was very impressed with his teachers in both grades.

So I have a somewhat odd question/request for advice. Are there any guys out there that have experience with losing a significant amount of weight during their transition? I'm pretty overweight myself. Obviously I want to be in good physical condition to get the best results from my top surgery…
Replying publically here because it might help someone else too :)
Appetite is something that really does need to be controlled, but not in an ano kinda way. Here are some thoughts.
1) Metabolism and what goes in is the key to a healthy balance. If you don't eat the right sort of nutrients at the right end of the day, you are going to slow your metabolism down and tell your body it's time to store food instead of burn it.
- Breakfast: this is super important. And try not to make it bloody carbohydrate bomb++ too. Protein and low-GI carbs are important for this meal - have it early in the morning, not as you get to school/work/uni. Something that is working for me is a blop of greek yoghurt on toasted muesli, a coffee and a serving of pomegranate juice (which boosts testosterone… I posted about this earlier here on FYFTMs); eggs work as well as yoghurt if not better. Limit white carbs to as close to 0 as you can - no buns, white bread or cheap garbage cereal that's loaded with carbs and sugar, as this will only stimulate your appetite and make you hungry far too early in the day.
Protein is a long-lasting slow-burning form of nutrients that helps you to gain muscle, not fat. Start your day on the stuff if you can.
(PS: if you're dairy-intolerant like me, eggs are a great alternative to milk products but there are some amazing lactose-free yoghurts around)
- Lunch: Nothing like another good solid round of protein to stave off epic appetite and have your body NOT store fat so much. Tinned fish or chicken works wonders, though I usually cook 2x meals at night and have the second half at lunch at work. Brilliant for saving money, and lasts for hours.
- Dinner: This should be a light meal, believe it or not. First meal of the day will get burned, last meal of the day gets slept on and hence stored as fat. Again with protein and veges, try to not become a human garbage disposal unit and try to avoid eating after 9pm (as your body isn't interested in digesting and burning it so much, and you won't feel hungry for breakfast the next day).
- Snacks: Fruit throughout the day, before you feel ravenous. Simple trick, works wonders. Apples can stimulate gastric juices though, be prepared for that… ie: an apple can make you hungry. Doesn't do it to me tho.
- Drink: WATER. NO MOAR SODA. Just in case anyone reading is a fiend for fizzy drinks or excessive juice/cordial, energy drinks and excessive caffeine intake, quit it. Shit ain't doing nothing but giving you problems. Waaattteeerrrrr. (1-3 coffees a day seems to be the safe zone, substitute for tea is also good, exactly 0 cans of energy drinks a day is good for you)
- Protip: if you're not hungry for breakfast soon after waking up, then you probably ate too late / too much the previous evening. Reset and try again this evening :)
2) Exercise. The recommendation is 30-45 minutes of solid activity per day (the kind that makes you sweat); unless you're doing some serious uber-cardio Warp 9 weights, these are just going to do awesome things like bulk you up (especially if on T), increase muscle and bone (YES!) density, and make you feel like a bawse / very sore the next day. They poke through the fat, but do not remove it.
Cardio is where it's at; moreso sprints than duration. Duration/stamina work increases your cardiac fitness and obviously stamina, but recent studies have shown that it's more the hard-n-fast sprints that cause the most dramatic weight loss. My personal trainer has been trialing a few things, and has the following for beginners:
- Treadmill. Warm up, then cycle it up to a solid jogging or running speed. Run for 30 seconds, jump on the side for 30 seconds, jump back on for 30 seconds, repeat. Optimum for beginners here is 20 minutes of this cycle, by which point you should be sweating bullets. Make sure you can sorta-kinda hold a conversation without having an asthma attack…if you can't talk, you're probably going too hard. Once you're a bawse at this, go on for a minute and off for 20 seconds instead. Once you're at the point of doing that, at a farking SPRINT, you can get away with 10 minutes instead of 20.
Note the 10 minute cycle is for working at your maximum, and is best if you really don't have the time for this shit. Get on there and sprint like there's no tomorrow. If that doesn't sound sexy, keep with the running for 20 ;)
- Cycling. Good for both exercycles and spin cycles. Get at a comfy level of resistance, warm up, then do 20-second cycles. Been ages since I've done these so can't remember the exact numbers, but IIRC it's 8 seconds of SPRINT LIKE YOU'RE BEING CHASED BY A LAND-SHARK, then 12 seconds of normal speed (don't stop! Keep going!). Depending on your fitness, same as above - 10 minutes for ON CRACK levels of effort, 20 minutes for sweating mere bullets instead of grenades.
- If you can't go to the gym for whatever reason, just go for a jog every day. If there are any nearby, tackle a set of stairs during your travels. Running and/or the higher end of the cardio scale in short sharp bursts is a fantastic way of convincing the extra layers off.
The reasoning behind this emphasis on sprints is this: you could burn, say, 300 calories going for a manic CHASE ALL THE THINGS sprint down the road til you're red in the face and look like you swum there, for 20 minutes. Or, you could walk it in an hour and look a bit more dignified. The difference is, the extreme cardio abuse elevates the metabolism for the following 48 hours, and you will continue to burn calories at an elevated rate in this time. Feeding it correctly can only be good, yes? The mere walking for an hour and burning the same number of calories doesn't achieve the same result - you burn the calories, sure, but the metabolic effects don't carry over for the next day or two. It's in your best interests to attack it like a crazed thing.
Balance it with weight training, a diet that will boost testosterone (pomegranate, ginseng, etc), and you should soon start feeling really good about yourself.
I've been doing the diet side of things for the most part, but have fallen off the bandwagon with the exercise - most days it's 5 flights of stairs at the most (only way into the building at home), but I've still dropped a clothing size in the last month. Slow but good progress…just need to get my lazy arse into the gym.

Studio 11 LA series producer Heidi Cuda brings us more from her interview series with economic forecaster Christopher Thornberg, the founding partner of Beacon Economics (beaconecon.com). Thornberg says although Texas is more business friendly than California and we can't beat the lone star state on its housing pricing, we can start fighting for California by changing its tax policies and broadening our tax base.

Policy research on migration and development
AbstractThis is a survey and analysis-with commentary-of migration issues and the related development policies for the sending countries."Migration and development"is considered an unsettled and unresolved area for good reason. The policy issues are surprisingly deep and run to basic issues such as the nature of development as opposed to simple poverty reduction. North-north migration (between industrial countries), south-south migration (between or within developing countries), and north-south migration (from developing to industrial countries) are all covered although the paper focuses on the north-south variety. Attention is paid to the question of the dynamic mechanism underlying migration being one of convergence or divergence. Very often the policy issues push one outside what would be narrowly considered as"migration studies."For example, policies to reduce the brain drain go directly to the issue of educational reform in developing countries while policies to increase the developmental impact of remittances quickly carry one into the nature of business development itself. Ronald Dore's ideas on educational reform are outlined as a policy approach to the brain drain problem. Jane Jacobs'ideas on development are outlined in greater length as they are little known in development economics and yet directly address the policy issues raised by migration and development.

Are you a Papa John's pizza fan? Get ready to shell out about 11-14 cents extra per pizza. CEO John Schnatter says thanks to Obamacare he now has to actually provide his employees with health coverage (durr!), which means he'll have to charge you, middle-class customer, more money for those pizzas.
Bah! Obamacare! Dagnabit you wreck everything!
Yeah, just playing my part. That's presumably what we're all supposed to say. But really, this is just Schnatter being a faithful Romney fundraiser. Oh, you didn't know that? Oh yeah, Schnatter has just politicized pizza. First Chick-fil-A and now this. Say goodbye to the good old days when you could just buy junk food and only worry about your waistline. Now you have to worry about your politics, too.
Here's the thing: Papa John's does not have to pass the health care costs on to its customers. It's a publicly-held company, which means it could just send slightly less profit to its already-wealthy shareholders. Or Schnatter could be a big hero and take a pay cut as an already-overpaid CEO. Bwa ha ha! I was just joking about that one. That's a crazy idea.
Nope, instead he's passing the costs onto his customers. And he's making a big, whiny stink about it -- as a favor to his good buddy Romney. What if franchise owners have to cut jobs?!? (Like a kid threatening to take away all his toys if you don't play his way.) What's all the fuss about when Schnatter also says, "But our business model and unit economics are about as ideal as you can get for a food company to absorb Obamacare."
You didn't hear a peep out of Schnatter when he added a $2.00 delivery fee back in 2003. He added that fee because gas prices were in fluctuation as a direct result of the volatility in the Middle East due to the War in Iraq (coughcough BUSH cough cough). By the way, not a dime of that $2.00 went to the drivers.
But hey, if you like your pizza and chicken sandwiches with a side-order of political bitterness, welcome to our future. It gives me sour stomach. We all know business owners make big campaign donations and most of the time we're happy if that flies under the radar. That's their business ... I guess. But when business owners bring politics literally to the dinner table -- yuck. No thank you.
What do you think about Papa John's passing its new health care costs on to customers?
Image via mrsdkrebs/Flickr
I'm sure they aren't the only ones passing the cost on to customers. In fact, I would bet that 90% of businesses will be doing the same. They're just admitting it.
I think we are going to see a lot more of this happening with other companies as well.
And again, why so nasty RhondaVeggie? You do know that a lot of high school and college kids work at fast food joints right? I wouldn't call them flunkies, at least they are out there in the work force trying to pay their own way instead of living off the government as so many other people are willing to do.
If anyone is under the impression that the cost of Obamacare isn't going to result in higher prices AND fewer jobs, you're deluded. It's not rocket science. Papa John's isn't a non-profit company - they're in business to make money for investors, so investors will continue to invest and the company can continue to grow.
To slam the 'overpaid' CEO is just the same pathetic, Left-wing boo-hoo-ing about somebody working harder/smarter/better than you and having a salary to show for it. Uow do you know he's overpaid? Have you ever been the CEO of a company that operates almost 4,000 restaurants? I bet he's got a lot of responsibility and stress, and is worth every penny of his salary - otherwise they'd fire him. I mean, surely it can't compare with the burden of poking away at a keyboard as a blogger, but you probably get what I'm saying....
SUPPORT LOCAL PIZZERIAS! I am no longer buying from Papa Johns, they are complaining that they have to provide insurance? They make hundreds of millions a year! Plus, they have $$ to support Romney. I think people deserve equal treatment, not just what they can afford....
