- Oron. W.ek~r Timea, Wedn*sday March ~ a Adolescence-tei (NC)-As wîdely studied as are the various aspects of the adoIescent'.s life, there is relatively little research into the teen's nutritional needs. Three Italian pediarricians have attempted to improve the situation and developed a series of diet recommendations for this age group. The advice takes ito account the extreme growth rate at tisý stage of development. as well as the particular demand for calcium. With ail of the concerns that beset the adolescent, it's doubtful that maximizing their bone mass is at the top of their priorities- but it will matter to themn later in life. Adolescence is a timne when eating- patterns first become subjeeiet to personal choice and the resuit is wýide v ariation in the amount and timing of food intake and the frequent adoption of different food fads. One resuilt is that obsessioni witb low-fat diets may lead to growth deficits due to lack of essential nutrients. One of the team's recommendations- eating breakfast regularly-was based on two observations: obesity in ado- lescents is associated with negative healtb patterns in later life; and obesity is linked to a tendency to skip breakfast. Regular breakfast habits, prefer4ably including whole grain cereals witb milk or yogourt, are highly desirable and s hould be established early in life s0 that the habit remains. Milk and milk products should be the main sources of ,P4iri *ta fdtan ýculistI N~ U U t tgp [ cýTG aimal proteîn because of their high calcium content. In addition,,with the exception of iron and vitamin C, they provide almost the full range of nutrients needed by adolescents. In fact, a diet deficient in milk products, is usually indicative of general diet inadequacy. The teen diet, as is true for the adut diet, is best when based on the four food groups-wîthii special attention paid to their need forenry iron and calcium. Get the edge! Join a Job Finding Club (NC)-Have you ever been unemployed- or perhaps are unemployed-and felt that you lacked the necessary job search skills to find a new job? If you answer "yes", then you may be interested in joining a Job Finding Club. Job Finding Clubs have proven an effective way for unemployed in- dividuals to find jobs mucb faster than on their own. In fact, several experimental studies on Job Finding Clubs show that 60-75 per cent of participants are employed three months after completing a club session. Gwenda Davies, a. counselling spokesperson for the department of Human Resources Development Canada, advises that Job Finding Clubs are most suitable for those who have an idea what job they want and have the training and skills to get that job.,What they may flot have, she says, are the marketing skills to find that work. "Job Finding Clubs will provide practice in job searcà skil- ls sutch as, knowing how to present yourself, to do research, and to penetrate the hidden job market. Only 15 per cent of jobs are'advertised, so you bave to be able to approach people for informa- tion and job leads." Davies warns that a Job Finding Club is flot a place for venting anger or frustration. The intent, rather, is to provide a supportive leamning environ- ment in the pursuit of the goal: finding a job. That's why participants must make a fuli-time commitment during the three-week session. "Treat the process and yourself serioýusly," she says. "Once finishecd, you shouiild bavte a set of skills that are trul\ portabl. Canadians cani expect five t ih different career chianges througb a lifetimiie. It helps to be equipped and self relianit."
