To understand the violent criminal, says Richard E Tremblay, imagine a 2-year-old boy doing the things that make the terrible twos terrible — grabbing, kicking, pushing, punching, biting.
Now imagine him doing all this with the body and resources of an 18-year-old.
You have just pictured both a perfectly normal toddler and a typical violent criminal as Dr Tremblay, a developmental psychologist at University College Dublin in Ireland, sees them — the toddler as a creature who reflexively uses physical aggression to get what he wants; the criminal as the rare person who has never learned to do otherwise.
In other words, dangerous criminals don’t turn violent. They just stay that way.
These findings have been replicated in multiple large studies by several researchers on several continents — via redwolf.newsvine.com

We created fourteen master tile sculptures, each 12”x12” with a depth of 3”-4”. The overall look is intentionally big and chunky
, with layers of smaller detail as a bonus for folks who look more closely at the home theatre’s walls. We also created a number of custom mannequins for replica movie costumes the client owned. As an alternative to ill-fitting mass-produced mannequins, we created customized, dynamically posed forms to capture the characters! A museum style base completed each display. For more work like this, please visit our Custom Mannequins and Displays page Want truly unique, hand-made custom décor for your home or office? Contact us today! Each master tile was moulded and expertly cast in tinted resin by Lonnie Hale. From there, details were randomly highlighted in colours chosen by the home’s decorator, to help add a sense of variation to the 120 finished tiles that would be applied to the walls — via Tom Spina Designs
Police are still trying to figure out why a group of unknown suspects would break into a Vaughn Street home just to smoke marijuana and dye their hair.
A woman discovered the burglary when she came home the day after Thanksgiving following a two-day trip to celebrate the holiday. Oddly enough, nothing was missing from the residence, located in the 500 block of Vaughn Street, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
(The woman) stated that when she returned to her residence, she noticed her front window open,
Officer Christopher Williams said in the report, and a cover had been placed over the window, and (she smelled) the odour of smoked marijuana.
Williams said the woman also pointed out that someone had dyed their hair red in the bathroom

Actor Peter O’Toole, who starred in Sir David Lean’s 1962 film classic Lawrence of Arabia, died on Saturday aged 81, his agent has said.
He was being treated at London’s Wellington hospital after a long illness, his agent added.
O’Toole’s daughter Kate said the family was overwhelmed by the outpouring of real love and affection being expressed towards him, and to us
.
He received an honorary Oscar in 2003, having initially turned it down.
In a letter the actor asked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to delay it until he was 80, saying he was still in the game and might win the bugger outright
.
But when he finally clasped his statuette, he said: Always a bridesmaid, never a bride, my foot.
O’Toole’s agent said he was one of a kind in the very best sense and a giant in his field

Imagine the pitch to the investors: It’s going to be a futuristic, state-of-the-art motel with every modern convenience from water beds to 8-tracks. The entire dining area will be covered in deep-pile pink and purple carpet. But wait — here’s the best part. It will look like an abstract sculpture of a giant turkey. We’ll bill it as a romantic getaway — and call it The Gobbler!

I purchased this gizmo to play a prank on my husband Brad, who still prattles on about his fourth-kind
encounter when he was just thirteen. (The 4th kind involves a probe, if you’re wondering. I keep saying it was likely his redneck neighbor dressed as ET, but that possibility is too dreadful for him to truly accept.)
On the anniversary of Brad’s alleged abduction, I placed the device by our bedside, then set-up an electromagnetic wave generator under the bed, with a timer to go off right at midnight. (If you’re wondering where to get one, I recommend the Skymall Catalog. I also picked up some Motivational posters and fake garden rock speakers to save on shipping. You’re welcome.)
But back to my prank. It was all set to go, and I was as giddy as a six year old waiting for Santa. But like a typical six year old, I fell asleep before the damn thing went off. I awoke to the flashing of multiple LEDs from the UFO-02 Detector, and bolted up, eager to see Brad’s petrified face. Aha!
But Brad wasn’t there.
In fact, I wasn’t even in our bedroom any more. Instead, I stood face-to-face with Leonardo da Vinci. Or perhaps it was Professor Dumbledore, I’m not really certain. In either event, It was a manifestation that the being I shall call the Intelligence
had determined my brain would most easily accept for deliverance of The Message.
You see, the Intelligence had come to convey to us humans that the Imperative was nigh, that what we loosely dub the Singularity was only the beginning of a limitless existence unbounded by physical space and time, and that sugar-free alternatives are actually WORSE for us than the real deal. He made sure that last point was clear by making me repeat it twice.
When I came to, Brad was sound asleep in his tin foil hat, the UFO-02 detector was gone, and, sure enough, all of my Splenda had been replaced with little, brown raw sugar packets. When I tried to tell Brad about Leonardo/Dumbledore and The Message, he rolled over away from me, grumbling that I shouldn’t eat so much ice cream or any dairy product before bed.

The internet of things may be coming to us all faster and harder than we’d like.
Reports coming out of Russia suggest that some Chinese domestic appliances, notably kettles, come kitted out with malware — in the shape of small embedded computers that leech off the mains power to the device. The covert computational passenger hunts for unsecured wifi networks, connects to them, and joins a spam and malware pushing botnet. The theory is that a home computer user might eventually twig if their PC is a zombie, but who looks inside the base of their electric kettle, or the casing of their toaster? We tend to forget that the Raspberry Pi is as powerful as an early 90s UNIX server or a late 90s desktop; it costs £25, is the size of a credit card, and runs off a 5 watt USB power source. And there are cheaper, less competent small computers out there. Building them into kettles is a stroke of genius for a budding crime lord looking to build a covert botnet.
But that’s not what I’m here to talk about — via redwolf.newsvine.com
