������companies are spending so much money trying to inspire employees that they have created an industry: the motivation industry. Trouble is, there had been exhaustive academic research trying to find out what motivates workers, and it has turned up almost no evidence that motivational spending makes any difference. ������Some companies, including General Electric, have given up on the unmotivated.

�����Just a few minutes chatting on a mobile phone reduces the brain functions of children for almost an hour, according to new Spanish test results quoted in Norwegian media. �����The test, conducted by the German investigator Michael Klieeisen at the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute in Marbella, are the first to show how childrens brains react to the use of mobile phones. With the help of a scanner, Klieeisen was able to create pictures of how the brains of an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl reacted while they used a mobile phone. The results were compared with similar tests using adult subjects. �����The tests showed that the brain activity of the child subjects was reduced significantly, especially on the side where the mobile phone was held, a few minutes after the call was begun, the report said. Also, brain activity was lower than normal in large sections of the brain for 50 minutes after the end of the call, the test results showed. �����My advice to all parents is not to allow children to use mobilephones. Klieeisen was quoted by Aftenposten as saying. Not only are electrical activities affected,but also biochemical processes. We do not know if it is dangerous, but we do know that childrens brains, which are not fully developed, are more vulnerable that adult brains are, the researcher added. �����Researchers in Britain confirm the Spanish results, and Norwegian and Swedish experts are also studying the health risk posed by mobile phones.

The looting of Thai plant and fruit varieties for development in rival export countries is an urgent problem that the government must tackle by setting stricter protection measures for the countrys intellectual property. Australia and the US are two major countries which have been found to be developing tropical fruits and plants. They aim to increase their export share in the international market. Meanwhile, Taiwan-where an international fruit-research center has been established- is trying hard to develop new varieties of fruits to meet market demand. Duangkamol Jiambutr, director of the Thai Trade Center inSingapore, said many new varieties of tropical fruit such as durians from Australia, longans and lychees from China and mangoes from Taiwan had been imported for marketing tests this year. An official at the Thai Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry said Australia had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in setting up a research center into tropical products. Many strains of Thai plants were imported or brought home by Australian researchers who had studied in Thailand. The smuggling of such varieties had led to them being crossbred to grow in Australia with a higher yield and bigger size th
