UNLIKE Mike Wolfe, when I first heard of the zillions of hand- painted sunflower seeds being exhibited at the Tate Modern, I didn't see it as an affirmation of the value of every human on earth.

IN a fortnight, England begin their World Cup campaign, so today they were supposed to be in full dress-rehearsal mode. Instead many members of the cast are still tussling over roles in the big production.

Understanding personality has become essential for leaders of the complex, knowledge-based companies operating in the global marketplace. This imperative has been made even more challenging by the need for managers to recognize that many of the personalities they must understand were formed in different cultures with different attitudes to authority.

THE WORLD AND WIKIPEDIA: HOW WE ARE EDITING REALITY By Andrew Dalby (Siduri Books, Pounds 14.99) IT IS now four years since Wikipedia surpassed 18th-century China's Siku Quanshu to become the largest compendium of knowledge ever known. Today it offers more than 10 million articles in more than 270 languages and is consulted daily by millions of readers all over the world. Never has so much knowledge been so freely provided to so many.
This miracle is made possible by a peculiar and unlikely mode of production. All of Wikipedia's articles are composed and endlessly revised by unpaid, self-appointed enthusiasts, many of them unqualified and anonymous, who are themselves numbered in millions. And there's the rub. How can we trust the efforts of such a motley multitude? We cannot, according...

Audi keeps bringing out one model after another with amazing technology that you never knew you needed but once tried you can't do without There are 36 models to choose from in the German manufacturer's range and more promised next year. Audi was the first to bring out the innovatively shaped LED headlights and as the rest follow, Audi has introduced a new shaped LED light. Technology includes a rest recommendation function, lane assist, adaptive cruise control, wi-fi hot spot, and a new mode which will conserve fuel.
Audi has had to increase production of its supermini, the A1 as sales are 19,000 a year, more than the 18,000 predicted. The 1.6- litre diesel engine has been tweaked and with automatic start stop and gearshift indicator, now has one of the lowest CO2 emissions of 99g/km, ...
