#Fact 18 (Employ death)

1)On January 2, 2006, a coal mine exploded in Sago, West Virginia, trapping thirteen miners for nearly two days. All but one of the miners died. A series of subsequent mine disasters in 2006 claimed forty-seven more lives.

2)Workplace injuries come at a high cost to employers. According to a 2007 Workplace Safety Index from Liberty Mutual Insurance, the most disabling injuries cost U.S. employers over $48.3 billion in workers’ compensation claims.

3) In Japan, suicide resulting from overwork, or karojisatsu, is an officially recognized and compensated occupational hazard. By some estimates, 5 percent of all suicides in Japan are “company related.

4)From 2001 to 2002, Japan saw a record 690 claims of karoshi—death by overwork. Of these, 143 were confirmed cases: 96 from stroke and 47 from sudden heart attack. The numbers were even higher in 2003, with 819 claims, 160 of which were compensated.

5)Claims of karoshi jumped after Japan modified a rule to include the effects of cumulative fatigue. A worker who dies after routinely working eighty or more overtime hours a month is now eligible to be considered a case of karoshi.

How do QR codes work?

QR codes allow symbols, phrases and URLs to be hidden from sight. But how do they work? A QR Code (QR stands for ‘quick response’) is a two-dimensional matrix barcode that consists of a series of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. They work by embedding a series of information within preset boundaries, the data being located and identiﬁed by a series of alignment, timing and positional patterns within the code. The codes are read by scanners and smartphone cameras installed with a QR-deciphering software (these tend to be freely available as apps, or in some cases, are natively installed in the phone’s ﬁrmware). In practice, this allows any smartphone user to hold their device up to a QR code and decipher its encrypted data, receiving a message, image or URL link. READ ALSO:- How a speaker works ?

How ASPs works?

The Web and the Internet began to really heat up and receive significant media exposure starting around 1994. Initially, the Web started as a great way for academics and researchers to distribute information; but as millions of consumers flocked to the Internet, it began to spawn completely new business models. Three good examples of innovative models include: • Amazon - Amazon (which opened its doors in July, 1995) houses a database of millions of products that anyone can browse at any time. It would have been impossible to compile a list this large in any medium other than the Web. • Ebay - Online auctions make it easy and inexpensive for millions of people to buy and sell any imaginable item. It would be impossible to do this at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner with any medium other than the Web. • Epinions - Thousands of people contribute to a shared library of product reviews.
