Stick 'em together, pull 'em apart. It's the Velcro age
Article Abstract:
Current approaches to corporate restructuring are different from those which are associated with takeovers. Restructuring is generally an agreed process, and often involves management buyouts or buy-ins, or the outsourcing of services. There is now an increasingly international element in corporate restructuring, which now often takes the form of a strategic relationship. There are a number of economic factors behind latest trends in corporate restructuring, including the desire to turn national brands into international ones.

A world apart from A-levels
Article Abstract:
Those sixth-form students who achieved good results in the recent A-level examinations should feel proud, as A-levels are of an extremely high standard. However, those who did not get the results they hoped for should not feel too disappointed, as it islikely that the significance of A-level grades will decline over coming years. There are now many new universities, and in many cases the emphasis is now on postgraduate work, where students with poor A-level results have a chance to show what they can really achieve.

Sultan Mehmet II and the EU
Article Abstract:
Turkey has been attempting since the mid-1970s to join the European Union, but its efforts are still being rejected. Like some southern European countries which are already members of the European Union, it feels that it is regarded as inferior by northern European countries. European politicians have a number of legitimate reservations about Turkish membership of the European Union, including its human rights record and its economic performance. However, these are not insurmountable problems.
