We all win in the divine numbers game
Article Abstract:
An enneagram based on 11th century thinking from the Sufi tradition of Islam can be used to help companies identify the different personality types of their employees. According to the enneagram, there are only nine personality types, with everybody fitting one of them. Identifying personality types can be a useful way of getting employees to talk about themselves and to communicate more effectively with each other. This approach is also valuable where two companies have merged and it is necessary to ensure that all employees have the same goals.

The major in mufti leads the battle of the buff
Article Abstract:
There is no link between nudity and sex or indecency, according to Major James Scarlett, who runs a naturist mail order business. He has become a hero to many naturists after winning a legal battle against Customs and Excise, which had claimed that some of his books and videos were indecent. He finds nudity relaxing, and believes that naturist families are generally much more at ease with themselves than non-naturists. He believes that ordinary people are much less prudish than the media suggests.

Drained, sprayed, and flattened
Article Abstract:
Large numbers of smallholdings have disappeared in the UK over recent decades as a result of a shift towards large, consolidated farming operations. Some observers feel that this trend is set to intensify, with farming becoming extremely concentrated as farmers seek to reduce costs in order to compete against the US in the large new grain export markets in China and Asia. There are now few farms which operate on a small scale and try to use traditional approaches.
