  • Rethinking Motivation: Small Business Managing People - BusinessTown: This page provides a good, concise explanation of how the use of threats as motivation will always backfire.
  • Motivation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: This web page gives an overview of how people are motivated, including how the use of threats (whether deliberate or inadvertent) as a means of motivating employees may backfire.
  • Walking miles in Palestinian feet. I RECENTLY returned from a literary festival that was to have opened and closed in Jerusalem; but which, to our surprise, opened in France and closed in the UK. Balloons are also a security risk: With a Gallic flourish, the French Consulate opened the French Cultural Center impromptu, and hosted our event on nominally French soil: we paraded through the streets in our party clothes, bearing trays of canapés and looking, I?m sure, very threatening indeed. By the festival?s closing night, the British Consul General had made plans to welcome us at the British Council - which was fitting because the British Council was the festival?s primary sponsor You might well ask how a bunch of novelists and nonfiction writers could be so dangerous as to require a military-ordai ned ban in a democratic country I can?t tell you; except that our literary festival had the word ?Palestine?? in its title, and the use of this word in Jerusalem apparently constitutes a security threat. The city has been declared the Capital of Arab Culture for 2009, and according to Palestinians we met, the Jerusalem police have shut down more cultural events than they have permitted
  • Attenborough: Genesis? It can go forth and multiply - Home News, UK ...: The Bible is to blame for devastation of the planet, says Sir David Attenborough
  • FBI reports describe Saddam Hussein's reasons for refusing UN inspectors ? Deposed dictator calls Osama bin Laden a 'zealot' ? Iraqi told interviewers religion and government 'should not mix': Saddam remained preoccupied with the threat from neighbouring Iran as the US-led invasion loomed and would have sought a security pact with the US if UN sanctions were lifted, he told an FBI interviewer in his jail cell before his execution. In interviews and casual talks, the deposed Iraqi leader told FBI questioners that he refused to allowed UN inspectors to re-enter the country because he feared they would reveal to his chief adversary Iran the severely degraded state of Iraq's weapons capability. Saddam, whom the successor Iraqi government hanged in Dec 2006, also denied having any connection to Osama bin Laden or al-Qaida, and said that if he wanted to join forces with a US enemy, he would have sought a pact with North Korea or China. Those details and others are revealed in newly released FBI reports of contacts between the jailed Hussein and FBI special agent George Piro, an Arabic speaker who met with the former Iraqi leader between February and June 2004.
  • Threat of charges: Iran is considering pressing charges against a British embassy staffer and a Newsweek journalist, as well as several reformist leaders. It comes as the regime intensifies its crackdown on protests over last month&rsqu o;s presidential election.
