They show that the heat flow through normal, 125 Myr-old crust is 45.5 k 3 .4 mW m-2, close t o the prediction for a lithospheric plate model. Heat flow increases towards the centre of the Rise, reaching a maximum of 16 ? 4 mW ni-' above the normal oceanic value. The concommitant geoid anomaly a t the centre o f the Rise is 7.6 2 0.3 m and the depth anomaly is 1900 * 200 m. The anomalous heat flow, geoid and bathymetric values are used t o constrain a variety of theoretical models of hot spot mechanisms. Lithospheric reheating models alone, whether involving transient or sustained thinning of the lithosphere, fail t o model the broad heat flow anomaly and the long duration of uplift and volcanism observed on the Cape Verde Rise.

Two studies are presented. The participants in the first study were 285 adolescents from Cape Verde and 202 from Portugal, and in the second study there were 134 college students from Cape Verde and 112 from Portugal. The following instruments were administered to all the participants in both studies: The Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (D. Russell, L. Peplau, & C. Cutrona, 1980), the Neuroticism Scale (J. Barros, 1999), the Optimism Scale (J. Barros, 1998), the Social Anxiety subscale (A. Fenigstein, M. Scheier, & A. Buss, 1975), and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (E. Diener, R. Emmons, R. Larsen, & S. Griffin, 1985). No ethnic or gender differences were found for loneliness between the two groups. For both groups, the most prominent predictors of loneliness were neuroticism and dissatisfaction with life. However, as expected, the adolescent group recorded higher scores for loneliness than did the college students.

The sheer number of people wishing to migrate but not being able to do so indicates that migration must be analysed in the light of restrictive immigration policies. This article suggests that insights can be gained by addressing the aspiration and ability to migrate separately. On the basis of a case study of emigration from Cape Verde, the article first examines how aspirations are formed in the interplay between people's individual ...
