I Hired An Escort To Get Over A Break-Up (Warning: Graphic Content) □□□ Trudeau and Putin sit side-by-side, talk Russian wartime sacrifice. CTVNews.ca Staff Published Sunday, November 11, 2018 2:58PM EST Last Updated Sunday, November 11, 2018 3:33PM EST Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was seated next to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday, at the World Peace Forum in Paris organized to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War.

Trudeau and Putin sit side-by-side, talk Russian wartime sacrifice

The Prime Minister’s Office says that Trudeau spoke to Putin and “acknowledged the Russian people’s extraordinary sacrifices through the two World Wars, therefore it’s important to have Russian representation here to talk about peace.” It may have been an awkward encounter for Trudeau, who has repeatedly condemned Putin’s actions, including the annexation of Crimea, Russia’s funding of rebel forces in Ukraine, Putin’s support for Bashar al-Assad in Syria and the alleged Russian poisonings in the United Kingdom. Trudeau has also previously raised the possibility that dissident Pyotr Verzilov, a Canadian citizen, was poisoned in Moscow.

Also known as perceptual blindness, inattentive blindness results from a lack of attention that is not associated with vision defects or deficits, as an individual fails to perceive an unexpected stimulus in plain sight.

Inattentional blindness

When it becomes impossible to attend to all the stimuli in a given situation, a temporary “blindness” effect can occur, as individuals fail to see unexpected but often salient objects or stimuli.[1] The term was coined by Arien Mack and Irvin Rock in 1992 and was used as the title of their book of the same name, published by MIT press in 1998,[2] in which they describe the discovery of the phenomenon and include a collection of procedures used in describing it.[3] A famous study that demonstrated inattentional blindness asked participants whether or not they noticed a gorilla walking through the scene of a visual task they had been given.[1]
