Well, it’s official. Going to work makes you miserable. Wait. That’s not it. But working less makes you happier, according to science. A new study published in Health Economics Review, has shown you experience higher life satisfaction, the fewer hours you work. An analysis of 10 relevant studies by researcher Qinglong Shao also shows that working less affects your health positively – and of course, improved health equals greater life satisfaction. Shao feels people are happier if they work fewer hours for one main reason: They then have more time to spend with family, and for other commitments and responsibilities outside their working lives. She suggests that countries enact or strengthen regulations to limit hours worked, and thereby protect employees’ health.

In 1989, a man bought a picture frame at a flea market in Pennsylvania for $4. When he took the print home, he removed the painting and found an original print of the Declaration of Independence. It was actually one of 24 copies of the first printing of the Declaration of Independence. In 1991, the print sold for $2.42 million at auction.

Embattled comedian Andy Dick was arrested Friday morning in California, and charged with public intoxication and failing to register as a sex offender. Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said deputies responded regarding an “intoxicated subject” who was “possibly under the influence of narcotics”. They discovered Dick “displaying signs of being under the influence of alcohol” and arrested him without incident. They say that a routine records check revealed that Dick “was a registered sex offender who was not up-to-date on his registration.” In November, he was convicted of sexual battery for groping an Uber driver, and was ordered to register as a sex offender.
“Avatar: The Way of Water” is still drawing audiences box office. James Cameron’s latest remains #1 in its 5th weekend, with an estimated Martin Luther King Jr. weekend 4-day take of $35 million. That will push the sequel $568 million at the domestic box office by today, passing “The Dark Knight” and “The Lion King” to become the 13th-highest grossing movie of all-time in the US and Canada. In strong second place was “M3GAN”, with an estimated 4-day take of $21 million.
“Titanic” director James Cameron wasn’t kidding when he said he conducted a “scientific study” to debunk the theory that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio could have both fit on a piece of floating debris at the end of his 1997 movie. In a new clip from an upcoming documentary, the filmmaker is on hand as stunt people re-enact the scene, proving once and for all that ‘Jack’ and ‘Rose’ could not both have survived the shipwreck. The experiment is featured in “Titanic: 25 Years Later With James Cameron”, premiering Feb. 5 on National Geographic. Another interesting tidbit: That piece of floating debris isn’t a door at all, as is commonly surmised. It’s a piece of wood paneling from a first-class cabin, according to the director.

We keep hearing about our favorite TV shows and movies being “rebooted”, how about our favorite tech devices? Well, wait no further, because the iconic Sony Walkman is back — as a hi-resolution streaming player. The Walkman cassette player was first released in 1979, selling over 500,000 units in its first year. It became a huge leap forward in portable music consumption, eventually selling over 400million units. The new Walkman is available in two models, and Sony says both offer “evolutionary sound” while allowing listeners to download music to the playing card-sized device or stream via Wi-Fi. You can use “your favorite streaming and music apps right on your Walkman or connect to a PC to access your music collection”. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/y2up7fsk
