Yesterday the OTN Yathra visited Bangalore. In the local Oracle office, two rooms were reserved for 14 technical sessions by Oracle ACE Directors, ACEs and other specialists from both India and the rest of the world. The agenda included sessions on Big Data, RAC, EssBase, LDAP (in the Oracle world), SQL, APEX, Database Application Development and Enterprise Performance. 95 Delegates had signed up for this event and many Oracle employees drifted in and out of these sessions as well.
This was the last venue that is visited by the five man band consisting of Edward Roske, Raj Mattamal, Murali Vallath, Hans Forbrich and myself. The last two cities will not have the pleasure of getting visited by Raj or Edward, so this was the perfect opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to the organizer of the tour: Murali Vallath.
Murali put this tour together, soliciting speakers, creating the program, arranging the venues, doing the marketing, finding local volunteers to help put the events together and practical things such as arranging hotels and transportation and liaising with the taxi-drivers as well as staff at local venues.
The four guys on the right in this picture are extremely grateful to Murali for making this OTN Yathra a big success and a great pleasure for all of us. The audience supported us in this by loudly and to Murali's obvious discomfort (because he is way too modest) extensively applauding his efforts.
Next Monday – 25th February – the tour will be in Hyderabad on the Oracle Campus. See here for the agenda.
On Wednesday the final stage of the tour will be in Chennai, at the Anna University. Details can be found here.

Kickers Women Fall Short
by Natalie Ramsay | Apr 29, 2019 | Game Reports | 0 comments
That's the end of the Comox Valley Kickers Women's rugby season.
This past Saturday, the Kickers were on the road to face off against their Island rivals, the Nanaimo Hornets in the BCRU Division 1 semi-final match.
The game started with great intensity with a lot of back and forth action. Defense was strong on both sides of the field. In the first half, the Kickers had strong scrums, were quick to the rucks and ran the ball well. In the second half, two key injuries in the Kickers forward back changed the game. Momentum favored Nanaimo who scored several unanswered tries. Kickers points were scored by Outside Centre Daris Tendler and Fullback Tanya Timmons, with Paula Simpson adding a successful conversion. The final score was 12-39.
"It was a very tough, physical game. Both teams came to play. We started out well but at the end just couldn't find an answer to Nanaimo's attack," said Kickers Captain Natalie Nguyen.
"The game didn't go our way this time around but all in all, we had a phenomenal season. I am proud of the hard work and effort that all the ladies put into practices and at the games. The camaraderie between the players on and off the pitch make it all worth it. I am excited for what the next season brings."
Join the Kickers for their Burger & Beer fundraiser on Thursday, May 2nd at the Cumberland Hotel. The event starts at 6PM.

humanity in action: untold stories video campaign
Untold stories. PLACES OF MEMORY
Humanity in Action is a transatlantic, non-profit, non-partisan and non-governmental educational organisation working toward social justice as a community of emerging and established leaders.
Why are some history stories told, but not others? Learn about the anti-colonialism movement, racism, Antisemitism, resistance, the LGBTQIA+ community, family histories, the Holocaust and much more. This is a video series of stories uncovering lesser known narratives and places in the context of Nazi injustices.
Working closely with Senior Fellows of Humanity in Action we developed and produced a video campaign that reached more than 1 million people on social media. Below you can see one of the films and the Behind the Scenes, but all the documentaries can be watched here.
In his short documentary 'Human Zoos – A Story of Survival' Humanity in Action Fellow Fogha Mc Cornilius Refem chooses to explore 'human zoos' and the memory thereof in Berlin. Through his film he wants to challenge the way people see history by not focusing on one single individual as a represantation of 'human zoos.' In this Behind the Scenes interview he discusses his intention of making the audience feel uncomfortable with the purpose of using this discomfort as an invitation to grow. His film shows how People of Color who made up the 'zoos' were subjected to prying white European eyes, but also how they were the ones daring to look back. While 'human zoos' form a history of cultural, ethnic, and scientific racism, it also contributes to a history of resistance.

It has been a long journey which started in the first few games of the season. Although Pardew has always been something of an old school "route one" manager, I noticed from watching the games early in the season against teams such as Aston Villa, Everton, Norwich and Reading that things started to get even worse this season, and my suspicions were confirmed when I found in my first report (made 11 games into the season) that with 17.7% of their total passes being over 25 yards, Newcastle were indeed the biggest long ball side in the Premier League, ahead of Reading, who were then managed by Pardew protege, Brian "long balls" McDermott.
As I made further reports, Newcastle United maintained their lead, until now. In true Pardew style however, the performance declined in the final stages and Pardew eventually lost out to the kings of "Route One" football, Tony Pulis's Stoke City (yes, I know he's gone now), who sneaked up on the back stretch, eventually claiming the title for this season with an overall long ball percentage of 16.2%. In the final countdown, Pardew's Newcastle could manage third with 15.6%, with the aforementioned Reading sneaking back into second place with a long ball percentage of 15.7%.
Though this is my final report for the season, I will still be watching Pardew like a hawk to see if this slight decline in Newcastle United's reliance on long ball football continues.
Long balls vs long ball percentages.
Since I started probing Pardew's long balls, it has come to my attention that quite a few others have jumped on the bandwagon, including the Sun. In that story, they proclaimed that Newcastle are still the biggest long ball side with 2283 long passes over 25 yards over the course of the season. Though this figure is indeed correct according to OPTA stats, I found out very early in my observations that merely counting the amount of long balls played by each team throughout the season is erroneous and doesn't really tell us who is using long balls as a tactic and to what degree. Through this method, Newcastle United are still the highest here, having played a total of 2283 passes over 25 yards over the course of last season. However, which teams are using route one as a tactic is to measure them as a percentage of total passes played.
Let me explain. At the risk of stating the bloomin' obvious, tippy tappy "passing" sides like Arsenal pass the ball more, making many more passes throughout a game whether they are short passes or longer ones, which skews the results. If you only measure it this way, to pick an example, this would make Swansea City a bigger long ball side than Stoke! If you know anything about Swansea's and Stoke's respective styles of play, you will know that this is absolute nonsense. Hence, to measure how much (or how little) teams use long balls as a tactic, including Newcastle United, I had to guage it on the percentage of long balls played rather than they lazy and deceptive method of merely recording the amount.
So with all of that explainaton out of the way, and without further ado, may I present the final long ball table for the 2012-13 Premier League season!

Solidly presented as always, but I believe you're not telling us anything we don't know at this point!
What I'm trying to make sense of is that poll with Colo as player of the season. Down to mackems or deluded Geordies? Seriously. It was his second-worst season with us.
tunc I aint a mackem but as a very long term supporter of the Toon I suppose I could be classified as deluded. :)
I voted for Collo on the basis that it was during his absence that we fell apart defensively and only managed to get some semblance of defence on his return. Just enough to keep us up as it happened.
Aye Grumpy, that was one of the things seized on by Pardew in one of his many excuse crusades though. He made sure that we all knew about it.
Worky, that really only highlights his own failings. Any team that has to depend on a single player to save the day only accentuates the lack of good coaching and management. He ought to know when to keep his mouth shut rather than keep kicking himself in it.
The Bilderburg Group of the world's richest and most powerful are meeting in Watford. I can imagine them meeting at somewhere like Gstaad or Monte Carlo but friggin' WATFORD? WTF?
sirjasontoon says:
My thoughts exactly on the Bilderberg thing…..WTF X 2 :lol:
They should hold all their meetings in a hollowed out volcano, stroking white Persian pussies in large futuristic armchairs. Kissinger's there, and Murdoch will be too.
haha Watford is one big volcano :lol:
Well admittedly, I have rammed Pardew's long balls down people's throats but when I started, I simply couldn't believe that no-one else could see what was in front of their eyes, and some were actually believing Pardew's bollocks about bringing entertaining football to Noocarssel. Anyway, it's certainly done it's job when even the Stun are writing about it, and they're even gannin' down a bit now so maybe it's even given Pardew himself a bit of a nudge in the right direction.
Jimbob says:
Well done Bolton fans on stopping their club being associated with QuickQuid. Nice of their chairman Phil Gartside too for listening 'We don't want our commercial relationships to come between us and our community.'
Things could come to a head for Wonga and other loan sharks in April next year.
In the meantime, It's always a good idea to click on Wonga ppc (pay per click) ads as well as those for other loan sharks as it costs them money when you do. :-)

joe hawkins says:
Good owld Pards, He wasn't even good enough to win the Long Ball Championship, And came third!
Tony Pulis has won it, And still got the sack!, There's something wrong there lol.
I want to know who voted for Shola Amoebi, For player of the Season?, I dont want to start sniping at "The Fenham Eusabio", But he didn't play that much!
So the Illuminati is in Watford of all places!, Is there a big Freemason Temple, In the vicinity?
If anyone sees a lot of middle aged men wearing red robes, And burning a huge wooden owl, Don't Panic!
I wonder what the upshot of the meeting will be?
More Genetically Modified, Frankenstein foods, Foisted onto Humanity!, More F.E.M.A camps, And the continued "War On Terra", Yes the Planet!
Lets carry on destabilizing the Arab states until we have a good base of operation to attack Iran.
Right see you in two years time!, And i'm off to watch the Television, With a load of tin foil wrapped aroond me heed lol.
Some time ago, I expressed suspicions that Mike Ashley was employing online "sock puppets" or "astroturfers" using multiple identities on Newcastle United sites to shape opinion about Ashley amongst fans. Alas, I never came up with enough concrete proof to bolster my suspicions.
However, Wonga HAVE been doing some very naughty things online and that isn't a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact as they've been found out.
Wonga employees have been caught regularly editing out bits which might seen as less than positive in their Wikipedia entry, with editors like myself often having to undo dodgy edits and so on…
They were also forced to apologise when a Wonga employee was caught posting online attacks on Walthamstow MP, Stella Creasy, referring to her as "mental", "nuts" and a "self-serving ego-maniac" due to Creasy raising concerns about Wonga and the Payday loans industry in general.
Also, the cases of people who have never used Wonga having their accounts being cleaned out by them due to identity fraud caused by Wonga's slack security procedures is now reaching epidemic proportions and has beocme a major crisis.
This is only going to get worse and it is hardly going to help the reputation of Newcastle United over the next few years.
Worky, Ashley and his cronies don't think nothing of dragging the name of Newcastle United, Through the mud.
They are a bunch of classless morons, Who are the only type of guttersnipes, Who would get involved with a bunch of sharks, Like them.
That fat tosser can employ as many spin merchants as he likes, He'll never change my opinion of him, The fat leech!
So if he does read these kind of blogs to gauge opinion of him, HERE'S A NICE BIG F**K OFF, FAT BOY, FROM ME!
As usual, other teams starting to sign players already but we have not. This is going to be a long three months.
Phisix, We all know what will happen with these toerags!
How long will it be before they start backtracking, And saying the majority of their shopping was done in January?
And how Ben Arfa being fit is like a new signing!
Pulis Pips Pardew for PL Punt Pole Position…
I'll get my coat…
Grumpy @4-fair enough. I appreciate that your take.
That, though, is balanced for me by the fact that he tried to force his way out-to a club without any ability to pay a fee for him. Couple that with his so-so performance, suspension and injuries and I can't see him as player of the season. Ba, Cisse (not prolific but timely) and Krul were the only candidates for me.
On a somewhat different subject, I was actually most impressed this season by Bigirimana and Marveaux.
maze202 says:
Looks like Cabaye wants out and seems open to move anywhere, how long is he on contract for? I'd take £20m!
what's that based on, maze?
Pete Nufc says:
Well guys, I've enjoyed the banter, unbiased views and general wisdom, but the telegraph is a terrible newspaper and I'm tired of reading the shit it publishes, so I'm off to bury my head and just follow my club. Ciao and kerp up the good work!
It's all over newsnow and there are quotes of him saying he would be keen on UTD. IMO he was average this year and his corners hit the first man almost half of the time.
maze: hmph. Thought he'd be a fit for United-he reminds me of a young Paul Scholes if Scholes could tackle. Can't go too far in rationalizing the loss ahead of time myself, though. He's still the most complete and valuable player in this squad. He really did have a hellish year of work before the beginning of this season and I commented here as early as the first 5 games or so that he looked fatigued. Then there's all the long balls he launched, which I seriously doubt was his own idea. IF he does go to Utd, don't be surprised if he's absolutely dominant there, scores 10+ goals a season and racks up a gang of medals…
Eh, Pete? You're not going to read anything just because you don't like the Torygraph? If you just mean the NE football section, that's Luke Edwards. Say no more.
"He really did have a hellish year of work before the beginning of this season and I commented here as early as the first 5 games or so that he looked fatigued."
tunyc, you sound as bad as Pardew! There are lots of players who played more games than Cabaye, and in international competitions. I'm not saying you're definitely wrong though. The problem is Pardewball and how draining it is running up and down the pitch chasing the friggin' ball. It tiring enough just watching it!
The best teams whose players are always playing in Europe, and in Internationals play better football and in better football you let the ball do the work. When it's like that it's common to see these 'blue ribbon' players like Ronaldo and Messi knock off 50-60 games in a season then toddle off to play in the European championships or the Copa America. It's probably easier for them to play those 60 games of football than it would be for them to play half as many games of Pardewball.
wt: ouch, don't like being compared to that charlatan in any way!
I'm going by Cabaye's own description-he said he was already mentally and physically drained when this season began. I know guys are capable of playing as much as him and more but it's also within the realm of possibility to get fatigued. Otherwise, how do you explain the dip in form? Random chance? Possible. I'm sure we can agree he didn't just forget how to play football for several months. Pardew's coaching certainly played its part as did the form of the team-the pointless running is bad enough but it's also gotta be hard to get up for taking part in the shower of crap we were subjected to last term. The positive atmosphere at more successful teams probably helps their players to maintain performance despite fatigue/minor injuries. Just a guess.
danny b says:
Ain't been on in a while @worky is there any truth is cisse going anzhi? WE NEED SOME STRIKERS BADLY!
Anyway im off to argentina for couple weeks on monday so can relax and forget that complete garbage season!
Anyone else getting worried about City and Chelsea buying or soon to be buying all of these star players. Meanwhile teams
like us will just get pushed further down the league.
Another example of the bollocks we get from the newspapers. Not about newcastle United this time but Swansea City.
They have been glibly reporting that Michael Laudrup has demanded £200 million for transfers and is on the brink of walking out of Swansea because he isn't getting it, despite Laudrup himself saying that he has no intention of leaving.
It comes from an interview in his native Denmark where he said he was looking for around 200 million Danish krone to spruce up a thin squad.
That's just over £20 million, just a bit more than Newcastle United spent in Januuary.
"Ain't been on in a while @worky is there any truth is cisse going anzhi?"
Well I haven't seen anything convincing about it and I believe that Newcastle United have denied it. Then again, Derek Llambias does lie alot.
Hope you have a nice time, Danny. Tell us if you see Colo signing any contracts over there.
TAl @12 so who did you vote for and why the disparaging comment. Do you think that any of our players distinguished themselves this season?
If M'bwia had had a full season I might well have gone for him, but purely on on-field play I thought Collo was as good as anyone else although I would agree it wasn't his best season he's had for us and his attitude may have been a little less committed to the cause off-field.
I don't know what his personal problems are and don't particularly want too but I always got the impression that he gave his best on-field and that's what I would base my opinion upon along with the other 72 "idiots" or whatever you think we are!!
So Papiss Cisse might refuse to wear the W***A.com festooned shirt, Citing his religious views.
If that is the case, Then i hope the vast majority, If not all Geordies refuse to buy any replica kits, For the religion of Newcastle United, After all you all worship at the temple of St James' Park.
I hope they sell very few shirts with that sh**e on the front, And if they do sell in big numbers, It will only serve as another indication, That this club is losing it's identity, And the fans are as plastic, as Carol Voorderman!
Paul in Hollywood says:
Frankly, I think we are already in a tailspin before the new season has begun. Pardew remaining in-situ, Cisse threatening a one-man boycott which may unsettle Tiote and Ben Arfa for the same reason, Cabaye letting it be known that he'd move if he could, Colo very unsettled, no clear talk of bringing proven quality to the club. Where are the positives? It's not boding well.
So where has Cisse actually said that he's boycoutting the club? Or that he will refuse to wear the shirt?
Worky, It's in that Bastion of truth, "The Daily Mirror".
I'm really just using that as an example, Because i would like to know, Whether or not, Fans are going to but that kit?
Personally i think there should be a mass boycott, Of the Wonga company, And anything else to do with them.
I have to say, I'll be disappointed if sales of those s****y
shirts are high!
workyticket says: "So where has Cisse actually said that he's boycoutting the club? Or that he will refuse to wear the shirt?"
Well, one source Worky is the Metro which I hesitate to call a rag because I believe you are an occasional contributor: http://metro.co.uk/2013/06/08/papiss-cisse-edges-towards-anzhi-transfer-after-refusing-to-wear-newcastle-shirt-3833175/?
Maybe we shouldn't believe all that is printed in the press but I don't think they make it all up.
Joe, thankyou!
There was something bugging me about the new shirts. For some strange reason, your last comment made me realise what it was.
Well, one source Worky is the Metro which I hesitate to call a rag because I believe you are an occasional contributor:
Paul, you believe that gonk? Did you see his picture? He looks like he's just had a lobotomy. Well I don't believe it, even though he puts at the bottom:
"But Newcastle have now confirmed to the Press Association that they will meet with Cisse to discuss the issue and try and find a compromise."
That isn't good enough.
Worky, there is an article in the Daily Mail, Saying they will sell Cisse, If he doesn't wear the shirt.
Apparently Ashley will not even entertain the idea of Cisse wearing an unbranded top, Like Freddie Kanoute did for Serville.
Ashley thinks his deal with W***A.COM will be cheapened, He's got to be joking!, The whole deal has been cheap from day one!
Wouldn't surprise me if this situation was blown out of proportion, As a prelude to selling Cisse, In a move not to anger fans too much.
Cisse will be cast the villain, In the same way Carroll was, With Anzhi sniffing around, With a mega rich owner.
This little sordid episode could serve as a backdrop, To one of Ashley's spins in his helicopter.
Then they will pocket the money, And try an sweep it under the carpet!
GS says:
Joe @40: the Daily mail said it so it must be true? I am not saying it might not happen, I am just doubting the credentials of a paper that spends most of its time on Kardashian Kleavage.
So you're back then, GS. My hypothesis was that you went to New York, killed Chuck (as he hasn't been on either), then got banged up.
Nah Worky: I have to ignore him because we will never get along :) I got bored with reading all the rubbish on newsnow. Are we linked with every player under 15 million and selling everybody we have owned for more than a year?
I didn't really have anything to comment on because I don't believe anything they say anymore (the papers, management and owners). I even stopped reading when I saw Taylor linked with Arsenal – where do they come up with this stuff?
I think we will get tops 2 players and they may even just be to fill in for those we lose like Simpson and possibly Perch. If Cabaye goes I doubt they will replace him. Rather they will look to Sissoko or Anita to step up.
Every man and his dog can see we need a striker, but that doesn't mean we will get one.
I am so downbeat at the moment I am thinking about changing my user name to AndyMac :)
GS, According to the Chronicle there is a problem over him wearing the shirt, But they are saying the club will not be looking to get rid of him.
GS, To be honest, Downbeat is always the way to go with the Ashley Regime!
You have to always start at the worst case scenario, And then anything else, Is a bonus!
It shouldn't be like this, But expect nothing from this Regime, And you will not be disappointed!
Mathieu Debuchy had another poor game against Brazil the other night and gave away yet another needless penalty. I really don't get it.
You really don't like him do you. I heard he was alright apart from the penalty. Then again he had Neymar to defend again so it would have been hard.
I don't know him, Phisix. Whilst I am a Cruyffian who is all for attacking defenders who play a very high line, they should be defenders who are able to defend too, which includes being able to tackle, preferably without giving away penalties and/or being sent off.
Yes he was busy with Neymar when he moved over to the left, and was hacked so much he had holes in his socks by the game was over. But whilst that was going on, his opposite number on Brazil's left back, Marcelo, was having him on toast and it was Marcelo who eventually won the penalty. I would definitely have him as an attacking full back! As well as winning the penalty, he also won a free kick which got Brazil another of their three goals. He's a great left back.
It's too early to make a decision on Debuchy, In all fairness.
Let's see what he's like next season, After a Preseason under his belt.
On Debuchy, he likes the two footed lunges. You don't get away with that in the Premier League unless your name is Steven Gerrard.
Joe: I don't get it with Wonga. Why was it OK for Cisse, Ben Arfa and Tiote to wear Virgin Money? Is there a % of interest that is against Sharia law? I am being serious, I don't know the answer. Barclays sponsors the league, why don't they object to them?
It might just give Wonga more publicity and the fat man will just give them a few more billboards at SJP or repeat the fiasco of renaming SJP.
GS, There is a kind of double standard, I suppose.
Banks hide behind the air of respectability, While charging exorbitant interest rates.
I think with banks though, There is a kind of every man status to them, Where anyone can walk in, And get a loan, Or get knocked back for one.
There no particular demographic to a banks target customer, Where as companies like W***A.COM, Target the poor or desperate members of a given society, Because these people know banks will never give a loan to someone on the dole, Or getting benefits.
Neither a squeaky clean, But W***A.COM, Know exactly what they are doing.
I think Cisse comes from a poor background, And can identify with where some of the fans are coming from, And doesn't want to see them get exploited.
That's my take on it, For what it's worth.
Everyone goes on about Wonga's 4000%+ APR interest rates. However, the real secret is the "rollover."
As I've mentioned before, anyone who sees a Wonga ppc ad in their browser, DO click on it, without being daft enough to take out a loan of course! It will cost them money and the amount payday loan sharks pay per click is amongst the very highest. :-)

Mazda sponsors London Triathlon
By VCARS on September 29, 2007 Mazda
Car manufacturer Mazda has announced that it has become the title sponsor of the world's biggest triathlon event.
The deal has been done in order to allow the firm to promote its new CX-7 model, which it describes as a "sporty design with sports utility comfort and practicality".
Reaching a top speed of 130 mph and with acceleration up to 62 mph achieved in eight seconds, the vehicle provides a fast enough experience for even the speediest athlete.
Marketing director for the company in the UK Mark Cameron commented that the vehicle embodies the brand's "core values".
He said: "Mazda's whole Zoom-Zoom philosophy is about the thrill of driving and the feeling you get driving one of our cars. It is an attitude to life and a mode-of-thinking – and the Mazda CX-7 and triathlon echo that."
Meanwhile, Mazda production over August went down 4.1 per cent, with 93,476 vehicles manufactured.

More than 1,400 people ran in Thursday's 10th annual Town of Palm Beach United Way 5K Turkey Trot, helping to provide nearly double the number of Thanksgiving meals to families in need than last year.
Race registrations provided about 6,000 meals to children and families, according to the United Way.
"It's truly amazing," Deputy Town Manager and United Way Board Chairman Jay Boodheshwar said in a release. "Hundreds of runners are helping to provide meals to seniors who don't have family in the area and parents who couldn't afford dinners for their families."
The race, which began and ended at Bradley Park, had 55 in-kind donors and 26 sponsors, the most in its 10-year history.
Joseph Berrafati, 19, finished first with a time of 17:31. Vivian McMahon, 15, led all women runners with a time of 19:20.
Runners arrived at Bradley Park just before 7 a.m. dressed as pumpkins, turkeys, candy corn and more. Jessica Surovek, owner of the John H Surovek Gallery; Jennifer Eilana; and their nine-person crew came dressed as a marching band from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Eilana led the band with a makeshift marching baton made from a curtain rod and five children followed closely behind with drum sets made from upside-down paint buckets.
Surovek said they wanted to enter the Turkey Trot's costume contest.
"We were just brainstorming, and we thought of this," Surovek said. "We're in it to win it."
Susie Dwinell of West Palm Beach, who also entered the contest, came dressed as a Mayflower with her two dogs. Mason, a chocolate lab, dressed as Pocahontas. Zoe, a white maltipoo, was a pumpkin.
The winners of the costume contest were William, Francesca and Siena Finck, who were dressed as husks of corn pushing a stroller made to look like a tub of butter. The family won a one-night stay at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa.
Blue tents surrounded the race's starting line, including hair-braiding and balloon making stations, an arts-and-crafts table, and a raffle booth. Prizes included a $100 gift card for Buccan, one month of unlimited yoga classes at Thrive Power Yoga Palm Beach and a Lilly Pulitzer tote bag.
"It's hard to believe this is our 10th anniversary Turkey Trot," Cara Coniglio McClure, who co-chairs United Way's Islanders Committee with Jared McClure, her husband, said in a release. "The Turkey Trot has evolved from a small race with close-knit friends and family to a Thanksgiving Day tradition for hundreds of families in our community."

90s Kids Will Remember This: Research says part of your brain is dedicated to recognising Pokémon
Too bad if you wanted to use it for something else, if you played Pokémon in the 90s part of your visual cortex has specialised in recognising them all.
Gianni Di Giovanni
If you played the original Pokémon GameBoy games when you were a kid there might be part of your brain tuned specifically to recognise Pokémon.
Researchers used "Pokemon Experts" to delve into the development of the part of the brain called the visual cortex and the ventral temporal cortex, which recognises people, plants, animals and objects according to an article published in Nature Human Behaviour.
They found that there was a consistent pattern in the way the visual part of the brain developed for the "Pokémon experts" in the study, compared to those people who didn't know their Bulbasaurs from their Beedrills.
The researchers think that this is due to the size and the "eccentricity" of the Pokémon designs when playing on the small GameBoy screen.
See that red part of the brain scan next to the Clefairy? That's the brain of a "Pokémon Expert" when they gaze upon one of the original 150. (Source: Gomez, J., Barnett, M. & Grill-Spector, K. Nat. Hum. Behav. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-019-0592-8 (2019).)
Pokémon aren't like anything else our brains would normally categorise and for kids in the middle of PokéMania their developing brains specialised into a dedicated region to memorise them all.
"An intriguing implication of our study is that a common extensive visual experience in childhood leads to a common representation with a consistent functional topography in the brains of adults. This suggests that how we look at an item and the quality with which we see it during childhood affects the way that visual representations are shaped in the brain," said Gomez, Barnett and Grill-Spector.
The locations in the game also lit up the part of the brain that recognised real world places when shown to the participants.
So that might just be part of the reason why you can still name all 150 of the original 'mons.
You can dig into the full research here Extensive childhood experience with Pokémon suggests eccentricity drives organization of visual cortex.

Justice Prevails for Deported HIV-Positive Gay Mexican! [VIDEO]
Carlos Bringas-Rodriguez (right) with husband Dr. Mike Young Twitter/@ImmDef
After U.S. court orders DHS to #BringBringasHome, he is reunited with his husband and daughter.
January 17, 2018 • By Trenton Straube
After a long immigration ordeal, justice will prevail for gay HIV-positive Mexican refugee Carlos Bringas-Rodriguez. He had been living with his husband (a U.S. citizen) in Kansas City, when, three days before Christmas, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) violated a court order and deported him to Mexico, where he hid out in a hotel with a dwindling supply of HIV meds.
After the intervention of Immigrant Defenders Law Center (ImmDef), a Los Angeles–based nonprofit that provides defense for immigrants facing deportation, and with the support of social media campaign #BringBringasHome, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered DHS to return Bringas-Rodriguez to the United States, which Immigrant Defenders reported on January 12.
By January 16, ImmDef's attorney Meeth Soni was in Mexico to return Bringas-Rodriguez to his husband and daughter. While at the San Diego Airport, they posted this video update on Facebook:
As POZ reported in a March 2017 newsfeed item "Asylum Recommended for HIV-Positive Gay Mexican," Bringas-Rodriguez had fled Mexico after family members and a neighbor repeatedly beat and raped him because he is gay. He requested asylum in a case that saw many hearings and reversals, including the March 2017 recommendation for asylum.
Nonetheless, DHS deported Bringas-Rodriguez before Christmas. A few weeks later, ImmDef issued a call to action. It read in part:
Bringas should never have been deported. In March 2017, Bringas won his case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Court returned the case to the immigration court with specific instructions that ensured Bringas' life would not be placed in unnecessary peril.
His deportation was a result of a failure by the Immigration Court and DHS to follow the Ninth Circuit's order. Unbeknownst to Bringas, an immigration judge had ordered him removed in a hearing where he was not present. He had not even had notice of the hearing. DHS then deported Carlos.
Bringas is now in Mexico, hiding in a hotel with only a rapidly dwindling supply of his HIV medications. Bringas came to the U.S. as a teenager after having experienced years of sexual abuse at the hands of relatives and a neighbor who abused him because of his sexual orientation and threatened to kill him if he reported the abuse.
Bringas' legal team at Immigrant Defenders Law Center and Sharma-Crawford Attorneys at Law is trying to get the San Diego Immigration Court to undo the deportation order so that we can bring Bringas back home. In the meantime, DHS must parole Bringas into the country so that he can resume his treatment and remain protected while the courts render a decision. #BringBringasHOME
On January 12, ImmDef posted on Twitter that "Justice prevails. The Ninth Circuit GRANTED our WRIT and have ORDERED DHS to Bring Bringas Home!!"
UPDATE: JUSTICE PREVAILS!! The Ninth Circuit GRANTED our WRIT and have ORDERED DHS to Bring Bringas Home!! See the order below. Power to the People.
We will NOT BE SILENCED!
Thank you for helping #BringBringasHome! pic.twitter.com/T1I0gUBkEo

Independent probes of police shootings sought by families
By Chris Van Buskirk, State House News Service
Chris Van Buskirk, State House News Service
Standing in front of the State House steps, Hope Coleman recounted the death of her son Terrence, shot in 2016 by Boston police. Sam Doran/SHNS photo
Rahimah Rahim, the mother of Usaamah Rahim, said her son was a good man and cared about other people.
"He cared about the people that were homeless, the people who didn't have shelter, the people who didn't have food, and he reached in his pockets many times to dole out money for people who didn't have what he had," she said Wednesday at a rally in front of the State House.
Usaamah Rahim was shot and killed by a Boston police officer and an FBI agent in 2015 after police officials say he approached officers with a knife. Rahimah Rahim attended the rally organized by Mass. Action Against Police Brutality to call on Gov. Charlie Baker to assign a special prosecutor to reopen all past cases of police brutality in the state.
Among the cases the group wants a special prosecutor to investigate are the deaths of Massachusetts residents Terrence Coleman, Eurie Stamps, Usaamah Rahim, Burrell Ramsey-White, and Juston Root.
The protest comes just over three weeks after police in Kenosha, Wisconsin shot Jacob Blake, whose severe injuries furthered nationwide protests calling for an end to systemic racism and police brutality. The protest on the State House steps Wednesday was held in solidarity with Blake's shooting.
Rahimah Rahim said she raised her five children to be respectful citizens and to look out for other people who didn't have the privileges they had.
"How many other mothers have to lose their children to this brutality? How many more of us have to lose our relatives, our families? It's genocide," Rahimah Rahim said. "We cry out as Americans about what's going on in other countries. We cry for the people who are being persecuted there. What about us? Cry out for us. Cry out for us."
At a press conference earlier in the day, Baker said he didn't know if he had the authority to reopen closed cases.
"It's always been my impression that the state official who has the most latitude with respect to reopening cases is the attorney general," he said. "And I do know the attorney general can choose to take cases that DAs either don't take or aren't interested in. I don't know if the attorney general has the authority under existing law to reopen a case that's been closed. And as I stand here, I don't if I do either."
Organizers of the rally said their effort had the support of nine families of men shot by police in the state, some of whom showed up to share their stories. Among them was Hope Coleman, the mother of Terrence Coleman.
Terrence Coleman, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was shot in 2016 by Boston police after his mother called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Prosecutors allege he attacked personnel responding to the call with a knife.
"All I heard was two shots," Hope Coleman said Wednesday. "I didn't hear him holler."
Brock Satter, co-founder of Mass. Action Against Police Brutality, started off the evening with a chant, "Indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail. The whole damn system is guilty as hell." As he called on Baker to appoint a special prosecutor, Satter responded to the governor's comments from earlier in the day.
"He was under some question about whether he had the power to reopen the cases. So who knows? Who knows in government how to run it?" he said. "But what you and I know is what needs to happen is that when police commit crimes, they need to be held accountable for the crimes they commit. So they need to figure it out ... whoever has the power, they need to figure it out."
Jennifer Root Bannon, whose brother Juston Root was killed by police in February, filed a wrongful death suit in U.S. District Court in Boston on Aug. 10. Police shot at Root 31 times after he led them on a chase from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston into Brookline with a replica gun. The six Boston and State Police officers involved in the shooting were cleared by prosecutors.
On Wednesday, Root Bannon called for an end to police brutality and for officials to hold accountable officers who break the law. She said the departments need mandatory independent investigations by an impartial department for incidents involving deadly and excessive force.
"Not only here in Massachusetts but across this country. Today, the message I want to make very clear: law enforcement cannot, I say cannot, be investigating themselves. Continuing on this current path will never bring about justice," she said. "Gov. Baker, I'm going to ask you again, reopen my brother's case for an independent investigation. Reveal the truth."
Two pieces of legislation to reform police accountability and curb use of force tactics remain in conference committee, where lawmakers negotiate differences between bills behind closed doors. The Senate first passed its version on July 14 and the House followed suit with similar legislation on July 24.
The bills largely do the same thing -- set up an independent body to certify and decertify police officers in the state. The bills also limit the use of chokeholds and tear gas, and restrict qualified immunity from civil lawsuits for police officers accused of alleged misconduct.

Calexit has been refueled by Donald Trump's election and now supporters of the movement to have California secede from the union have submitted a proposed ballot measure to the California attorney general's office. It could be voted on in 2018.
Marcus Ruiz Evans, vice president of Yes California, told the Los Angeles Times that the election of Trump gave new life to a Calexit movement that had sat around for two years.
The new momentum is obviously political. California's big cities and college campuses have been wracked by sore-loser protests since the election and the state's celebrity and media elite were almost uniformly outraged by Trump's victory.
Evans said 13,000 volunteers hope to start collecting signatures after the attorney general's office gives the ballot measure a formal title and summary.
Experts say the only way to legally secede would be to change the federal Constitution, which requires the approval of Congress and 38 states, reported The Associated Press. The Constitution does not provide the succession.
A group in Texas wanting to secede from the union has been trying to gain the support from state lawmakers for years. In May at the Texas Republican Convention, an attempt to force a vote on legislation supporting the state leaving the United States failed, according to the Washington Post.
The Texas Tribune reported that Texas v. White in 1869 appeared to have settled the legality of states attempting to leave the union, with the Supreme Court ruling that individual states could not unilaterally secede from the United States.
"This independence referendum is about more than California subsidizing other states of this country," said the Yes California website. "It is about the right to self-determination and the concept of voluntary association, both of which are supported by constitutional and international law."
"It is about California taking its place in the world, standing as an equal among nations. We believe in two fundamental truths: (1) California exerts a positive influence on the rest of the world, and (2) California could do more good as an independent country than it is able to do as a just a U.S. state."

Practice Areas Defective Product Lawyers Surgical Stapler Lawsuit
SURGICAL STAPLER LAWSUIT
Our attorneys are investigating claims that surgical staplers are causing serious injuries, life-changing complications, and even death. Contact us today to get your case evaluated for free.
Surgical staplers are used in many different kinds of surgeries, and their use has been increasing. Most of the surgical staplers used in American hospitals are manufactured by either Ethicon, which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, or Covidien, which is a subsidiary of Medtronic.
These devices – which operate much like the home, office, or construction staplers most of us are familiar with – use to close wounds and surgical openings. They are used as an alternative to hand-stitching, or suturing, surgical incisions and openings.
However, like the staplers you use in your home and office, surgical staplers can jam, misfire, or fail to close the staples. When this happens near sensitive tissues and organs, such as the gastrointestinal tract, heart, lungs, or kidneys, the consequences can be devastating. Complications from a surgical stapler failure can include death, sepsis, internal bleeding, the need for permanent ostomy bag, damage to internal organs, additional surgeries, and life-long nutritional and digestive issues.
Surgical Staplers: What's the Risk?
Unfortunately, surgical staplers fail all too often. The FDA recently reported that between 2011-2018, there were 109,997 reports of surgical stapler malfunctions, including 11,181 serious injuries and 412 deaths. To put those numbers in context, that is more than 4 serious injuries a day caused by surgical stapler malfunctions, and approximately one death per week.
The manufacturers of surgical staplers have known about these problems for years, and there have been numerous recalls of these devices. In May 2019, Ethicon issued a Class I recall of 92,496 units. This is just the latest of numerous surgical staples recalls in recent years. Since 2014, over 2 million units have been subject to a recall across all manufacturers.
While surgical stapler manufacturers have known of the problems with their devices, and the amount of malfunctions that were occurring, the doctors and hospitals that use these devices have been kept in the dark. A recent investigative report by Kaiser Health News discovered that the malfunction reports received by surgical stapler manufacturers were being kept in an obscure non-public database. As a result, when a doctor or a hospital would go to look up information about the safety of these devices, they would only see a handful of malfunction reports, as opposed to the 109,997 that were actually sent in. In 2016 for instance, only 84 stapler injuries or malfunctions were openly submitted, while nearly 10,000 malfunction reports were included in the hidden database.
Surgical Stapler Malfunctions: What Are the Consequences?
Surgical staplers have a unique ability to harm patients. Misfired staples can embed in tissues or organs that were not intended to be stapled. If a staple fails to close or completely seal a wound, bacteria and other foreign matter can invade the wound and cause sepsis or infection. Internal organs and organ systems can hemorrhage, bleed internally and sustain organ damage. Stapler failures can take days to identify and some of the complications can be irreversible. In many cases, additional surgeries are required to fix the problems caused by a stapler failure. Fistulas can be formed by such failures, and anastomoses can remain open.
The FDA recently notified the medical establishment of these risks in a letter dated March 8, 2019. The FDA also announced that they are now considering upgrading surgical staplers from a Class I medical device to a Class II medical device, and considering forcing manufacturers to prove the safety and effectiveness of surgical staplers through performance testing and usability testing.

Free Surgical Stapler Lawsuit Case Review


The week before Christmas in 2016 we attended our first NFL game together. Mel is a lifelong Green Bay Packers fan and Pete just so happened to fly into Chicago the day before they were due to play Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The game also coincided with a bitterly cold snap and in the build up to the event it was at one point being billed as possibly the coldest NFL game in history to be played at Soldier Field. As it turned out, it didn't quite make it to those depths but with game time temperatures of just 11f (-12c) and a windchill factor of -4f (-20c) we were thankful for the mountains of extra blankets that we took with us to our lofty position up in the stands.
As a spectacle, and as Packers fans, the game couldn't have gone any better. Green Bay raced to a seemingly unassailable 27-10 lead after scoring 17 points in the 3rd quarter, resulting in thousands of Bears fans streaming out in search of warmer climes. We couldn't blame them as by this point we'd lost all feelings in our toes. For no explicable reason though the Packers then did their best to collapse as Chicago brought the game level and we braced ourselves with the prospect of having to sit out in the cold for overtime. Thankfully, with pretty much the last play of the game and only 3 seconds left on the clock, the Packers nicked it with a field goal. What a game.
Mel's brother, Matt, attempting to keep warm.
