'Compliance,' A Low Budget Indie, Might Be The Most Disturbing Movie Ever Made. NEW YORK -- Halfway through a special screening of "Compliance," the deeply unsettling new film from writer/director Craig Zobel, a woman stood up, yelled out, "Give me a f*cking break," and walked out of the theater.
As the film progressed, other women joined her. At least eight by one count, although in the question-and-answer session following the film, someone suggested that actually 10 had left during the screening.

The discussion of creativity as a social process rather than an individual one applies across the board, says anthropologist Kasper Tang Vangkilde.
(Photo: Colourbox) To most people, creativity is inextricably associated with individuals who stand out as something special, thanks to their creativity, But according to anthropologist Kasper Tang Vangkilde, creativity is not an individual trait. Rather, it’s a social process that occurs among individuals. Cavity Waves: Displaced-Water "Pineapple" Wins Fluid Dynamics Competition: Scientific American Gallery. When a rock, an Olympic diver or any other object hits the water, an air cavity forms behind it.
Fluid dynamicists study the shapes of these cavities and how they change and close over time. When a disk with 20 petals was pulled through a tank of water, it created the cavity shown in this striking set of images. The disk moved at a constant speed of one meter per second. The air cavity pinched off just 200 milliseconds after the disk entered the water, a little before picture (e) in the diagram. In order to study cavities created this way, researchers record video at 10,000 frames per second and analyze it frame by frame.

Faking insanity: Forensic psychologists detect signs of malingering. Evolutionary psychology. Evolutionary psychology (EP) is an approach in the social and natural sciences that examines psychological traits such as memory, perception, and language from a modern evolutionary perspective.
It seeks to identify which human psychological traits are evolved adaptations – that is, the functional products of natural selection or sexual selection. Adaptationist thinking about physiological mechanisms, such as the heart, lungs, and immune system, is common in evolutionary biology. Some evolutionary psychologists apply the same thinking to psychology, arguing that the mind has a modular structure similar to that of the body, with different modular adaptations serving different functions. Evolutionary psychologists argue that much of human behavior is the output of psychological adaptations that evolved to solve recurrent problems in human ancestral environments.[1] The adaptationist approach is steadily increasing as an influence in the general field of psychology.[2][3] Scope[edit]
Pygmalion effect. A corollary of the Pygmalion effect is the golem effect, in which low expectations lead to a decrease in performance.[1] The Pygmalion effect and the golem effect are forms of self-fulfilling prophecy.
People will take the belief they have of themselves (negative in this case) and attribute traits of the belief with themselves and their work. This will lead them to perform closer to these expectations that they set for themselves. Disinformation: Everything You Know Is Wrong. The facts of painless people.

For most of human history, life has been a struggle – a struggle against predators, against disease, against natural disasters, and against our fellow human beings as we find ourselves all thrown together on a single planet, vying for limited resources.
Scientists capture the shadow cast by a single atom. A team of researchers at Griffith University has managed to stretch the capabilities of microscopy to its ultimate limit. Culminating a five-years effort, the scientists have obtained a digital image of the shadow cast by a single atom, in a development that might soon lead to important advances in scientific observations ranging from the very big to the very small. Intricate, often invisible land-sea ecological chains of life threatened with extinction around the world. Douglas McCauley and Paul DeSalles did not set out to discover one of the longest ecological interaction chains ever documented. But that's exactly what they and a team of researchers -- all current or former Stanford students and faculty -- did in a new study published in Scientific Reports. Their findings shed light on how human disturbance of the natural world may lead to widespread, yet largely invisible, disruptions of ecological interaction chains.
This, in turn, highlights the need to build non-traditional alliances -- among marine biologists and foresters, for example -- to address whole ecosystems across political boundaries.
