Article Abstract:

The UK's leading retailers are investing very heavily in technology which allows them to record and assess the purchasing patterns of individual customers. Tesco, Sainsbury and Safeway, for example, all now use data warehousing technology, gathering information via loyalty cards. They are now handling vast volumes of information, and use sophisticated tools to analyse the information and extract details of buying habits and trends. Some observers believe that supermarkets may not really be deriving clear benefits from their loyalty schemes.

How to manage your own dying day

Article Abstract:

The forthcoming English Day of the Dead is designed to encourage people to talk about their attitudes to death more openly. Many 'green' burial sites will be open to the public, and various events will take place at the Natural Death Centre in London. The British are gradually becoming more open about death, and are starting to make informed choices about how and where they wish to be buried.
