Array ( [results] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [ArticleID] => 199856 [Title] => On deadlines, ultimatums and the moment of truth [Summary] => A deadline is the final date or time when a task or decision must be completed or decided. The term originated from the strict demarcation line around a notorious Confederate prison camp during the American Civil War. A certain distance from the prison fence was marked out and any prisoner who trespassed the line was shot dead.
The word ultimatum comes from the word ultimate and means the time when rejection will end peaceful negotiations and cause a resort to force or other drastic actions.
