Jokes EtcHow Pickpockets Trick Your Mind by demix007(op): 3:05pm On Nov 19, 2014
Pickpockets use much more than sleight of
hand, they hack your
brain’s weaknesses.
My mother has eyes in the back of her head. She
also taught me from an early age to be
suspicious of strange men, especially when they
give you presents. Which makes it all the more
surprising that a “nice man” bearing flowers
managed to swipe #5000 from her purse, while
she was holding it in her hands and looking
straight at it.
“He said he was collecting for a church charity
so I pulled out a #500 note,” she explains. “He said
“no, no, that’s too much” and offered to look in
my purse to find a smaller note. He must have
slid out the #5000 at the same time. I
didn’t even notice until an hour later. I felt so
stupid.”
But she needn’t feel bad. According to
neuroscientists our brains come pretty much
hard-wired to be tricked, thanks to the vagaries
of our attention and perception systems. In fact,
the key requirement for a successful pickpocket
isn’t having nifty fingers, it’s having a working
knowledge of the loopholes in our brains. Some
are so good at it that researchers are working
with them to get an insight into the way our
minds work.
So while sleight of hand helps, it’s as much
about capturing all of somebody’s attention with
other movements. Street pickpockets also use
this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a
situation that can’t help but overload your
attention system. A classic trick is the ‘stall’,
used by pickpocketing gangs all over the world.
First, a ‘blocker’, walks in front of the victim (or
‘mark’) and suddenly stops so that the mark
bumps into them. Another gang member will be
close behind and will bump into both of them
and then start a staged argument with the
blocker. Amid the confusion one or both of them
steal what they can and pass it to a third
member of the gang, who quickly makes off with
the loot.
“People think it’s about distracting someone by
making them look away but it’s actually about
directing the mind towards something,”. If I wanted you to stop looking at something on the table it’s much easier for me to give you a good reason to look at something else. If I give you two or three things to focus on and the one I want you to avoid isn’t one of
them, then that’s even better because now you
have the illusion of choice.”

Other tactics are more psychological.
Pickpockets tend to hang out near ‘beware of
pickpockets’ signs, because the first thing people
do when they read it is check they still have their
valuables, helpfully giving away where they are.
And in my mother’s case, the thief’s best trick
was not coming across like a pickpocket. “He
was a very nice guy and very personable. Not
someone that would cause you to suspect,” she
says.
“They employ some clever tactics. A classic is
that a girl comes up to you outside of a club and
starts talking to you and as she’s doing it she
starts rocking very gently. And the person thinks
they are rocking so they compensate and start
rocking and fall over. And she’s very kind and
she helps you up and maybe her friend helps,
too. You stumble off and the next morning you
realise your watch has gone and your wallet is
gone, everything’s gone.”
Still, knowing about all these tricks can make you
a little less likely to have your valuables pilfered.
At the very least, Brown says, it’s an idea not to
zone out too much in public. “A street thief will
avoid like the plague people who are
demonstrating a very open awareness of their
environment. The man on the tube who is
looking around, being very aware, they won’t go
anywhere near,” And as my mother would no
doubt remind you, it’s also an idea to keep away
from strangers with flowers.
FashionThe ‘pink Vs Blue’ Gender Myth by demix007(op): 2:25pm On Nov 19, 2014
Is there truth to the idea that men prefer blue
and women like pink? It’s easy to spot the girls’ section of a children’s
clothes shop because most of it is pink. I know a
lot of parents who insist that they would like their
daughters to wear something different, but pink
seems to hold an irresistible allure for them. But
is that really true? Is it inevitable that girls are
born to grow up to prefer pink?
But there is one way at least in which pink can
be useful for both women and men. Back in 2002
researchers in Switzerland who were keen to
increase the response rate to surveys, found that
printing questionnaires on coloured paper made
no difference, unless the paper was pink, in
which case 12% more people filled it in.
Colours, it seems, influence our behaviour much
more than we realise.
And most guys have also been studied to avoid putting on pink but see blue or red as a more masculine colour.... So what's ur take when colour is involved?
ProgrammingGoogle Makes Image Recognition Advance by demix007(op): 2:07pm On Nov 19, 2014
Scientists at Google have created artificial
intelligence software that can describe the
contents of photographs far more accurately than
ever before.
The software's description of pictures was similar
to that written by a human.
As well as making it easier to search for images,
the software could be used to help blind people
understand pictures better, Google said.
Stanford University has also announced a
breakthrough in the same field.
The machine-learning software developed by
Google used two neural networks - one which
deals with image recognition, the other with
natural language processing.
Neural networking is a computational model that
mimics some of the same architecture used in the
brain. Such systems have a series of
interconnected neurons which can take information
from a variety of sources and are also capable of
learning.
The neural network developed by Google was the
work of four scientists - Oriol Vinyals, Alexander
Toshev, Samy Bengio and Dumitru Erhan.
"A picture may be worth a thousands words," they
wrote on the Google Research blog.
"But sometimes it's the words that are the most
useful - so it's important we figure out ways to
translate from images to words automatically and
accurately."
Two years ago Google researchers created image-
recognition software and showed it 10 million
images taken from YouTube videos. After three
days the programme had taught itself how to pick
out pictures of cats.
SportsSouth Africa To Parade Strong Side Against Eagles by demix007(op): 9:45am On Nov 19, 2014
South
Africa head coach Ephraim
Mashaba has dismissed
speculations that he will be
fielding a very weak starting
lineup against Nigeria in Wednesday’s Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier.
The Afcon 2013 hosts though have booked a place in
the championship billed for Equatorial Guinea, the
former South Africa U17 tactician insists that his
side will be aiming to end the qualifying series
without defeat.
"First, we don’t have to break the momentum of the
team and I must tell you that the players called up
for this game are here on merit,” Mashaba told Goal.
"We will not parade a weak team against Nigeria
because we want to continue with our impressive
form and we are looking forward to winning this
game.
"Though we’ve already booked a place to the
Nations Cup, my side will be hoping to end the
qualifying series on a high note.
South Africa are yet to secure a win against the
Super Eagles, coach Mashaba insists the game
billed for the Akwa Ibom Stadium will definitely be a
different affair.
"Yesterday, today, and tomorrow will never be the
same. What happened yesterday shouldn’t be used
as a yardstick to determine what will happen
tomorrow (Wednesday).
"You are aware we’re building a new team, that is
why you can see these junior players and their
achievement tells you where the confidence is
coming from.
“We played the Eagles to a goalless draw in Cape
Town and all people could say was that my side was
fortunate. This time around, we will be hoping to
play the best of football and hopefully get a win,” he
concluded.
South Africa will be missing the services of Thulani
Serero and Lehlohonolo Majoro for this crunch game.
The duo have been ruled out due to injury
