Where's the meaning and the hope? Trends in employee publications
Article Abstract:
Most companies publish an in-house magazine providing employees with information for their professional and personal advancement. These magazines discuss births and deaths, social events and specific problems in the workplace among numerous other relevant topics. Although their format has largely remained the same, there are trends towards change. Form is preferred over content and goals and objectives of managers are stressed. Employees interested in career advancement read stories related to the industry, whereas others may be interested in social events.

The aspidistra and the amphipod
Article Abstract:
The common belief that aspidistra was supposed to be pollinated by slugs is not supported when the plant is observed in its natural habitat in Japan. The actual pollinators do not need to eat the plant to pollinate and are primarily amphipods, based on laboratory observation and the classification of arthropod feces in the wild plants.
