Plants in offices

and productivity
Study suggests that minimalist offices produce miserable employees because 'sometimes less is just less'
Offices devoid of pictures, souvenirs or any other distractions are «the most toxic space» you can put a human into, say psychologists in a paper published on Monday, which says workers perform better when household plants are added to workplaces.
Dr Chris Knight from Exeter University and his fellow psychologists, who have been studying the issue for 10 years, concluded that employees were 15% more productive when «lean» workplaces are filled with just a few houseplants, as employees who actively engage with their surroundings are better workers.
Collaborating with academics from four universities in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands, Knight said he had wondered for years why the fashion for spartan offices has been so dominant in the business world. «If you put an ant into a 'lean' jam jar, or a gorilla in a zoo into a 'lean' cage – they're miserable beasties,» he said. People in «lean» offices are no different, he added.
In the last year and a half, his colleagues have visited workplaces including a call centre in the Netherlands and a large City auditor in London to show how a splash of greenery could rapidly improve performance.
The City auditors, which Knight declined to name, had spent «a lot of money» on their office, he said. «They had very expensive desks … banners that were just to do with the company … it was a beautifully sparse environment.»
The call centre was similarly stripped bare. Knight said some companies he knew of had even taken to fixing computer keyboards to desks and taping down staplers to ensure tidy lines of sight.
Yet when plants were brought into the offices – one plant per square metre – employee performance on memory retention and other basic tests improved substantially.
«What was important was that everybody could see a plant from their desk. If you are working in an environment where there's something to get you psychologically engaged you are happier and you work better,» Knight said.
While plants were chosen in the study, photographs, changes in light or even smell could be used to achieve a similar effect, Knight said.
He hopes the 18-month project – the first of its kind carried out in functioning offices – will bury the lean office practice for which he said there was no scientific support.
Prof Alex Haslam, from the University of Queensland's School of Psychology, who co-authored the study, added: «The 'lean' philosophy has been influential across a wide range of organisational domains. Our research questions this widespread conviction that less is more. Sometimes less is just less.»

Trojan horse is a malicious software which can come into your computer with a face of friendly or useful software appearance. It can be a setup program of a useful software or another file that seems to be a useful, but with a hidden spy or another malicious program in it. There is a bunch of software tools that can be used to create a trojan horse like malicious programs using them. One example is ProRat which is a RAT (Remote Administration Tool) can be used for Windows.
VirtualBox (or any other software that virtual machines can be created.) for simulation purposes.
You can download it from following URL as a compressed file. Extract it using the password "pro".
Open ProRat with an icon of a horse, but most antivirus programs will warn you this to be a malicious software. You may need to disable your anivirus program to continue running ProRat.
After opening ProRat you should see an interface like this.
In this post I hope to simulate the trojan horse using a local network connection with a virtual machine of Windows XP. Create a virtual machine of Windows XP using VirtualBox or any other software you use.
Click on the "Create" button at the bottom left of the ProRat user interface. And then select Create ProRat Server item.
Then a window will appear like this.
This Trojan Horse you are creating will act as a server run on the victims machine. It is like a network with you as the client and with the victim as the Server.When trojan is running on victim's machine, you can communicate with the victim's machine across the network using your machine with ProRat software.
In the above window, you'll see a text box called IP(DNS) Address. This is the IP address of your client machine. In our case we use virtual network to simulate this, and we have to fill this box with the IP address of your virtual network adapter. Type ipconfig in your command prompt and enter the IP address of the virtual network adapter in the above text box.
And you can enter your email address to get the notification when the victim gets infected. Leave other options alone.
This window will allow you to choose the port through which you can communicate with the sever, and a password which is used to connect to victims machine. And there are many options that can be used to keep the server invisible on victim's machine and hidden from the task manager . In this case leave these data as they are and click on the button Bind with file.
The facility Bind with file will allow you to bind the server with a file that the victim sees as a useful file such as a setup file or another file. Select the checkbox and Select a file by clicking on the button to be bound with the server.(I use a setup file).
Then click on the button Server Extensions on the left and you will see as the following. You can choose the final extension of your server file. Since I hope to create a trojan horse as a setup file I choose this as EXE.
As the final step of creating the server, you can choose an icon for the server from the list or browse for an icon. You can use an attractive icon that the server can disguise.
The file will be created in the ProRat folder.
Start your windows xp virtual machine and copy the created file into that. Then run the infected setup file as a normal setup file. You may not notice any difference and the setup program will launch without any problem. But, when you run the infected setup file, prorat server will be installed in the background without giving any suspicious behavior.
Now go to your real machine and go to the ProRat user interface.
You'll see a box to fill and IP address, which is the IP address of the victim. Go to your virtual machine and get the ip address of the virtual network adapter and fill it in here. (You must make sure you can communicate with the virtual machine across the virtual network. Make the both ip addresses mentioned in this post are in the same network). And click Connect.
If all are ok, your computer will be connected to the victim's machine (here, virtual machine).
Now look at the options at the left in the ProRat window. Let's send a message to the victim.
Click on the button Messege.
Now type a message and click Send.
There are many options given in the ProRat window. Try those and check the outputs. :-) Enjoy !
Good one machan.... Happy Blogging ..!!!!
Someone please help i just killed my laptop myself after running the created infected file on it.
What do you mean by 'killed' ?
