Dinero y altura



A la hora de conseguir pareja en un servicio de contactos on-line, importa mucho ser alto o bajito? Según este estudio publicado en el NYT, da lo mismo medir 1.72 (5 pies y 8 pulgadas) que 1.82 (6 pies), siempre y cuando el que mide 1.72 gane $146.000 al año más que el de 1.82:
They found that a 5-foot-8 man was just as successful in getting dates as a 6-footer if he made more money — precisely $146,000 a year more. For a 5-foot-2 man, the number was $277,000. [For more of these trade-offs, see nytimes.com/tierneylab.]

Matrimonio Gay


En la lucha por el reconocimiento social de los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo se han ganado muchas batallas (legalización en España, Bélgica, Holanda, Canadá y Sudáfrica), pero ninguna tan importante como esta: Disneyland.
The Walt Disney Co. has changed its policy to allow same-sex couples to participate in a popular Fairy Tale Wedding program it runs mainly at its two U.S. resorts and cruise line, a Disney spokesman said on Thursday.
[...]
"We are updating our Fairy Tale Wedding guidelines to include commitment ceremonies," Disney Parks and Resorts spokesman Donn Walker said. "This is consistent with our policy of creating a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment for all of our guests."

Con la nueva política adoptada por la compañía Disney, ya cualquiera puede casarse en la carroza de Cenicienta, con trompetas y todo:
The Lavish Wedding Option also includes a ride to the ceremony in the Cinderella coach, costumed trumpeters heralding the couple's arrival, and attendance by Mickey and Minnie Mouse characters dressed in formal attire.
