...sound like an obvious motivational tool, but not every beer boss is willing, as Miller Brewing CEO Norman Adami is, to tap a keg and chug a beer at a corporate gathering in front of several hundred cheering workers. There are probably even fewer at his level who are given to earthy battle cries like "If you want to run with the big dogs, you can't piss like a puppy" or "Never come to a gunfight with only a knife." But Adami surely needed all the fighting spirit he could muster when, almost 18 months ago, his longtime employer...

The movement waned in the 1980s and '90s as the authorities in Bangkok boosted economic...
...current council structure would allow them to do so efficiently. Already, council members’ time is spread so thin that mistakes of judgment and administration frequently happen regarding major projects. Just in the past couple months, the council has lost a cashbox, underestimated the popularity of its keg-return service turning what could be a money-making enterprise into a financial liability and raised eyebrows with the on-site organization of the Busta Rhymes concert...
