    In a national time of revival in the country of Belfast in 1922-23, converted shipyard workers brought back tools and equipment they had stolen. They brought them back in such quantity, that an additional storage shed had to be built to hold the tools once stolen.

A survey of 583 companies in the U.S. revealed: “90% of the respondents said their organizations’ computers had been breached at least once by hackers over the past 12 months.” More than 40% of the businesses surveyed stated they had spent ...read more

    For training purposes, the supervisor suddenly handed the nurse a wine glass that happened to be on a nearby shelf. The "director" asked the nurse to "lose" her thumbs by tucking them into her palms. It was uncomfortable and difficult to hold the glass.
