Dolls, by their very nature, can be creepy. In fact, the fear of dolls, pediophobia, has fueled as many nightmares as it has horror movies. Freud posited that children fantasize about dolls coming to life, and psychologist Ernst Jentsch suggested that uncomfortable feelings are incited when there is an intellectual uncertainty about whether an object is alive or not. When an object that one knows to be inanimate resembles a living being, confusion about its nature can stir us in mysterious ways. Which brings us to the dolls of Karly Perez, which take the cake for "stirring and mysterious. " Yet, rather than the eternally perky and plastic dolls that frighten in their potential to wreak havoc by way of an evil alter ego, Perez' ghostly dolls disturb because of their inherent despondency.

Can a good public space influence social behavior and make a city more secure? In 1969, Philip Zimbardo, professor at the University of Stanford, performed a social psychological experiment. He placed an unlicensed car with a lifted hood in a neglected street in The Bronx, New York, and another similar car in a wealthy neighborhood of Palo Alto, California.

The car in The Bronx was attacked in less than ten minutes, its apparent state of abandonment enabling the looting. The car in Palo Alto, however, remained untouched for more than a week. Zimbardo then took his experiment one step further and broke a window of the car in Palo Alto. Read more about designing safer cities after the break… Following this, Kelling was hired – much earlier than Rudy Giuliani and his Zero Tolerance Policy – by the Subway Advisory of New York, where insecurity and crime reigned. The idea is simple, but powerful: bad habits spread quickly, but good ones, with strength and continuity, can displace the bad.

Body Chain Shoulder Necklace by KaylaEiten. The Hipster Home » Blog Archive » How to Make a Tiny Terrarium in a Light Bulb. Ahoy there Hipster Homers! I’m Julie and I’m the very first guest blogger on this fine site. Today’s project involves breaking stuff, plants, found objects, and miniatures. Fun, right? Let’s get started!

How To: You’ll need a few tools to make a tiny terrarium but nothing complicated to get started. Needle-nose pliersScissorsLong tweezers or chopsticksFlathead screwdriverGlasses or goggles Let’s start with the light bulb. We will be removing the inside parts of the lightbulb. First, remove the metal tip from the bottom of the bulb.

Then, when enough of the sides are raised to get a good grip on them, hold one of the sides with your pliers and yank out the metal tip. Next remove the black glass. Now you will be able to see the interior parts of the light bulb. Pull out any remaining wires with the pliers. Personalized Wedding Guest Book Tree Alternative by onceuponapaper.
