Why the epaulettes must go

Article Abstract:

Moves by the Salvation Army to consider a less formal uniform reflect a wider trend among many companies and organizations in the UK. Companies are keen to brand their staff and create team spirit through a uniform, but do not wish the uniform to make their staff unapproachable. They are focusing on ensuring that their uniforms are authentic and relevant, and are seeking to give their staff authority while ensuring that they also have a soft, quite informal look.

Memoirs of a half-finished life

Article Abstract:

There is a strong sense of loss in reaching middle age, according to author Elizabeth Kaye. She has dealt with this in her book 'Mid-Life: Notes from the Halfway Mark,' which is aimed at those who were young in the 1960s and never expected to grow old. She believes that there are no easy solutions to dealing with the traumas of reaching middle age, but points out that eventually everybody comes to terms with growing older.
