Study: Working from home is more productive

The economy is in a phase of change and this has brought a major shift in how people find ways of earning money. The biggest resulting change has occurred in how people are now doing their work from the comfort of their homes.

A recent study carried out by Stanford has indicated that if most Americans are doing their office work from home, and are managing to be more productive than their office working counterparts.

There is still some concern among the top management specifically to allow more freedom to employees so that they could get their work done from their homes. Take for example the airline industry, where JetBlue are comfortable with their call center employees working from home but on the other Southwest have no such initiative.

Some interesting facts found during the study include:

• An overall average of 12 percent increase was seen in productive from home
• A much greater level of work satisfaction was seen in employees when working from home
• Workers were much less affected by tiredness and lack of energy when working from home.

So guys, what is your opinion of an employee working from home? Would you want a job which will allow you to do that?

X-Men new movie: Title and Plot released!

If you loved the X-Men: First Class installment, then you will love what's coming next...

Yes, plans are all set for yet another prequel to the X-Men story-line. This time, they've named it X-Men: Day of Future Past.

Rumors suggest that the story-line will be based on the character of Kitty Pride (Ellen Page) who transfers her abilities to her past self so she can save the mutants from the mutant enemies.

Further details about the plot and characters are still very sketchy, and rightly so as the directors don't want to spoil the fun for everyone. But they did inform everyone that shooting for the new movie is expected to start in January 2013 with actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Rose Byrne, Michael Fassbender, Zoe Kravitz, James McAvoy and Nicholas Holt, who will be continuing to play their respective characters from First Class.

So who's excited about the new movie? Did you enjoy the previous installments?

"If you told me tomorrow that we had to reshoot some scene, I'd be so happy because I do enjoy living in this world. We got to do it for four years and I put everything I had into it. Even though it's a bummer to walk away, it's something I'll always have."

A Gay Character in DC Comics?

A gay superhero? 

DC Comics have 'come out of the closet' with their announcement of promising that we might see a gay superhero sometime in the future. 

“One of the major iconic DC characters will reveal that he is gay in a storyline in June,” said the Senior Vice President of Publicity, Mr. Courtney Simmons.

But hang on to your hats, because DC Comics are still yet to reveal the name or characteristics of this gay superhero. But it is going to happen. After all, we have a lesbian Batwoman, and a bi-sexual woman 'Voodoo'.

It is quite positive to see DC Comics going with such a bold decision. 

So. What do you all think about this news? Are there any other superheroes that need to 'come out of the closet' so to say? Hulk maybe?!
