In a business world predominantly oriented toward the future, it
has paradoxically become ever more common that companies turn
towards their pasts. This book empirically explores the phenomenon
of organizational remembrance from a holistic cultural perspective.
Based on a twelve-month ethnographic case study conducted at the
headquarters of the German automobile company, AUDI AG, this study
dissects the relationships between memory, identity, and image in a
corporate setting. The greater aim in doing so is twofold: First,
this study examines exactly why and how a company officially
manages its past in terms of 'history' and 'tradition.' And second,
this study scrutinizes what effect organizational remembrance has
on the workforce - how it impacts their collective identification
with a corporate community and influences their understanding of
their daily working life. By investigating the interplay between
different stakeholder groups, as well as their practices, media,
mental models, and other vehicles of remembrance, an integrated
account is offered which makes sense of the complex cultural forces
at work in the corporate handling of the past, the present, and the
future.
Double bill of magical children's films written by and starring
Emma Thompson. In 'Nanny McPhee' (2005), Cedric Brown (Colin Firth)
has recently lost his wife and is faced with the prospect of trying
to raise his seven unruly children on his own. With the wild
children too much for most nannies, all of whom have quickly left
his service, Cedric is one day commanded by a mysterious voice to
hire the witch-like Nanny McPhee (Thompson), who uses her magical
powers to keep the children in line. Thompson reprises her role as
the mysterious nanny with unsettling facial features in the 2010
sequel, 'Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang'. This time round, Nanny
McPhee offers her invaluable services to harried young mother Mrs
Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), who is struggling to run the family farm
while her husband is away at war. Utilising her dazzling repertoire
of magical props and unconventional methods, Nanny McPhee teaches
the Green children and their spoiled city cousins five life lessons
they will never forget.
No-till - a method of growing crops and providing pasture without
disturbing the soil - has become an important alternative to
standard farming practices. In this comprehensive guide to
successful no-till vegetable farming for aspiring and beginning
farmers, author Daniel Mays, owner and manager of an organic
no-till farm in Maine, outlines the environmental, social, and
economic benefits of this system. The methods described are
designed for implementation at the human scale, relying primarily
on human power, with minimal use of machinery. The book presents
streamlined planning and record-keeping tools as well as marketing
strategies, and outlines community engagement programs like CSA,
food justice initiatives, and on-farm education.

All four episodes of the Channel 4 psychological drama about a
troubled teenager. On the surface, 16-year-old Sam Woodford (Jack
Rowan) is a well-adjusted, normal teenager who enjoys sports, gets
by at school, has a good relationship with his mother Jenny (Romola
Garai) and takes good care of patients in a geriatric ward where he
works part-time. However, he puts in a lot of practice behind
closed doors to maintain his charming facade for reasons which
remain unclear. As he tries to get closer to the new girl at
school, Chrissy (Lara Peake), it's not long before Sam's
psychopathic tendencies reveal themselves while Jenny tries her
best to protect both her son and herself from a violent figure from
her past.
