A research study was conducted to find out if taking man’s best friend to work reduced stress and made the job more satisfying for other employees. Stress is one of the major factors that cause employee’s to miss work, lower moral and cause them to burnout, resulting in significant losses of resources and productivity. Researchers from VCU compared employees who bring their dogs to work, employees who do not bring their dogs to work and employees without pets in the areas of stress, organizational commitment, support, and job satisfaction. The study showed that Dogs bring more positive emotions to a workplace than one without a dog.

This could cause an increase in Dogs that are brought to work and a decrease of places that don’t allow pets.

Crying Make People Happy?

Research has shown that those who would watch a sad movie relate the sorrows of the story into their own lives and relationships, and this would increase their overall life happiness. This is caused by making people realize the good aspects of their lives, something that many people often do not do. The thing is, it's not when people think "My life is better than the character's in the movie" that makes them happier, it's when they have sympathy with the fictional characters and then realize that they are glad they do not have the tragedy portrayed in the movie in their own lives.

Dead bodies creating electricity?

In Durham, England they will soon be using corpses to generate electricity. By installing turbines in the burners of a crematorium, will convert wast heat from the combustion of the bodies into as much as 150 kilowatt hours of juice. Which is enough to power 1,500 televisions for an hour. Which could make the crematoriums more green, but the costs for the turbines anywhere between $250,000 to $500,000. This could happen to a lot more crematoriums in the near future.

This is just another way to help use our electricity. I don't see anything wrong with it. The bodies are being burned anyway, might as well get more out of it. Some might find it creepy that their deceased loved ones are help powering their electronics, but could be used a lot more in the future.

A study by Social psychologist Daryl Bem tried to prove the existence of precognition. Professor Chris French, Stuart Ritchie, and Professor Richard Wiseman all tried to accurately recreate the final experiment of Bem and his group. The three’s separate works all failed to show that precognition exists and have also been published. Bem had the people in his experiment complete a memory test on a list of words before being shown a random selection of half the words from the original list. Bem claimed that since they were better at remembering the words they were about to be shown that they had “reached forward in time to ‘practice’ those words in the future.” But even trying to be as close to replicating Bem’s experiment as humanly possible three times each the three different researchers failed to produce the same results Bem’s experiment seems to be a failure.
This effects people who believe in precognition and except scientific research studies but if people choose to disregard these findings and want to believe in precognition that is their right.

Is your memory weaker then you think?

Most people think that your memory works like a video camera. But in fact doesn't do that at all. It remembers the events and information as a sort of data. Also your memories can change over time as well. Which can eventually lead people the recall events that never happened. Also that hypnosis can be helpful when jogging ones memory, but is no more accurate than their initial memory.

So your mind can play tricks on you, which can be hard to tell whats real from wrong. It's scary to think how some people can remember something completely wrong from what happened. I hope that people can be more attentive then most people are.
