BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Rediscover the joys of childhood in this massive ball pit

Workplace wellness has become a top priority for many companies and employees, and workers in London looking for ways to reduce their stress levels can rediscover a little glimpse of childhood by diving into a giant pit filled with 80,000 plastic balls.

Creative agency Pearlfisher set up the adult ball pit – which can hold up to 30 adults — at its art gallery in west London until the middle of February to enable grown-ups to “recharge.”

Pearlfisher also is doing its bit for corporate social responsibility: For every visitor to the ball pit, it will donate £1 ($1.51) to the charity Right to Play, according to the company's website.

It seems that U.K. workers are making the most of the chance to re-connect with their inner child — all the tickets to the ball pit have been taken.
