The internal structure of an animal cell is very complex. The nucleus is

at the center of the cell. It contains the genetic material. A membranous
envelope, the nuclear membrane, surrounds the nucleus. This membrane
has pores.

In the cytoplasm we find different organelles: the synthesis of new

proteins occurs in the ribosomes. These new proteins move to the Golgi
complex. They undergo a process of maturation with the incorporation of
residues of sugar, etc. Other organelles, the mitochondria, produce the
necessary energy to maintain the cellular functions. Lysosomes are
organelles with enzymes. They destroy themselves strange substances .
The plasmatic membrane covers the cell. It maintains the normal internal
environment and the shape of the cell.

Every 28 days one of the ovaries releases an ovum and this passes through
the reproductive system. The development of the ovum, its release
(ovulation) and subsequent events occur in a cyclical process controlled by
hormones. This is called the menstrual cycle. Menstrual cycle hormones
have different functions: the estrogen causes onset and maintenance of
secondary sexual characteristics, e.g. breast development, fat
accumulation, and so on. Furthermore, it repairs the uterus wall after
menstruation and increases thickness of the uterine wall.

Progesterone prepares uterine wall for implantation and inhibits oxytocin.

This oxytocin stimulates uterine muscular contraction during labour and the
secretion of milk.

WHAT’S IN A LOGO?What attracts customers? Obviously the quality of a product
does, but visual images contribute a great deal.

1. Logos are part of the image. They are symbols which often include a name or initials
to identify a company. The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as
different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes.

2. In different cultures, different colours carry different meanings. Some colours may
be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colours
represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have to
make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood or misinterpreted in different
countries.

3. The logos of large international companies are instantly recognisable throughout the
world. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca Cola. Many companies have, over
the years, renewed their logos to fit in with contemporary design and to present more
powerful images. Company logos can be emotive and can inspire loyalty by influencing
the subconscious. Some logos incorporate an idea of the product; the steering wheel in
the Mercedes logo, for example.

4 .Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this
image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers. Logos need to be original and to
have impact and style.

Home comforts at work

Technological advances help us to save time and effort in many areas of life. At work we
already appreciate benefits as computerisation and fast communication via e-mail and
satellites. There is now a growing trend towards moving technology into our home and staying
there to work. A recent survey in the UK reported that one in five of the working population
now spends at least part of the working week at home, "teleworking". But how attractive and
feasible is teleworking really?

2 What are the advantages of teleworking?

British Telecom, an employer who actively encourages its workers to work from home,
claims that people who work from home are up to 20% more productive than those in the
office. Having greater control over their working environment means that teleworkers are
generally less stressed. A report in 1994 found that teleworkers were considered to be more
productive, reliable and loyal than on-site staff. The teleworker saves money on office clothes
and on travelling costs. The employer saves money, too; one company, Digital, who has one
quarter of its workforce teleworking, calculated that the cost of setting up an office at home for
an employee, approximately £3,500, was recouped within the first year.

3 Why is there a trend towards teleworking?

British industry is changing. For instance, screen-based service industries are replacing the
manufacturing industries. There is also a noticeable shift towards self-employment and
people working on short-term contracts. A lot of work is now contracted out to freelance
workers.

First Job Out of College: How to Deal

The transition from college life to professional life can be a big jump. Here's
how to deal.' Culture shock' is probably the best phrase to describe the
transition from college to the business world. For most people professional life
is full of sharp outfits, deadlines and midday meetings. So how do you prepare
for a life in the corporate world? Learn the rules of the office.

Organization
Different values are wanted in every company. A good way to bond with
coworkers is to master your office courtesy. According to national workplace
consulting firm MJN Consulting, the number one office un-courtesy is not
returning phone calls and email. Following closely in second is using the last
piece of paper in the copy machine and not refilling the tray. Simple things
can leave a lasting impression.

Power
Who wears the pants in your firm? Always get to know who is running each
department. Remember: job title doesn't necessarily mean influence. Often
a lower level employee has special training or some other quality that makes
him or her the go-to person.
