UK police trialing facial recognition tech that can ID individuals in seconds

 Leicestershire Police is the first force in the UK test new ‘face recognition’ software which could transform the way criminals are tracked down. It’s called NeoFace and it’s capable of comparing any digital image - such as CCTV or police body camera footage - with any photo held on the Leicestershire Police database. The computer programme has been under evaluation for a couple of months and around two hundred suspects have already been put through the system, with a high success rate of identification. It works by comparing dozens of measurements between key facial features. It’s impressive because it provides initial results in just a matter of a few seconds. The current system, although computerised, involves manually searching for possible matches, which can take up to several hours. Chief Inspector Chris Cockerill said: “We’re very proud to be the first UK Police force to evaluate this new system. Initial results have been very promising and we’re looking forward to seeing what can be achieved throughout the six month trial.” While the results can’t be used as evidence in court, the programme does give detectives significant help in developing new lines of enquiry. Identity unit Manager Andy Ramsay said: “We have over ninety-thousand photos on our system and Neo-Face can compare someone’s image against our complete databases in seconds. Besides the speed it’s also impressive because it can even find family members related to the person we’re trying to identify.”

The galaxy NGC 4258 is much like our galaxy

Some 23 million light years away, a nearby spiral galaxy is spinning like a pinwheel in space, putting on a fireworks display of truly galactic proportions.

The galaxy NGC 4258 (also known as Messier 106 or M 106) is much like our galaxy, with the addition of two extra spiral arms that glow in X-ray, optical and radio light. These features, rather than aligning with the galactic plane, intersect with it, giving it an anomalous shape. 

A new composite image of the oddly-formed galaxy and its pyrotechnic proclivities was recently published by NASA. In the image, X-rays by NASA's Chandra Observatory are blue, radio data from NSF's Karl Jansky Very Large Array are purple, optical data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are yellow and infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope are red.

The cause of NGC 4528’s spectacular activity was recently explained in the June 20, 2014, issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters and is available online. 

According to researchers, a supermassive black hole which sits at the center of the galaxy is churning out a truly psychedelic display of radiant stellar energy equal to tens of millions of suns. 

The black hole is believed to be producing powerful jets of high-energy particles, which strike the disc of the galaxy. The disc, which is mainly composed of gas, dust and stars, generates shockwaves in the process. The shockwaves serve to heat the gas – mainly composed of hydrogen molecules – to thousands of degrees.

Researchers think that this ejection is occurring at such a fast clip, the gas will be exhausted within the next 300 million years, leaving less available gas to form new stars in the future. As a result, they believe 10 times fewer stars are being produced in NGC 4258 than in our own Milky Way. 

“Jets from the super-massive black hole at the center of M 106 are having a profound influence on the available gas for making stars in this galaxy," said Patrick Ogle, an astrophysicist at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and co-author of the study. 

“This process may eventually transform the spiral galaxy M 106 into a lenticular galaxy, depriving it of the raw material to form stars." 

The opportunity to study NGC 4258 is providing scientists valuable insight into the nature of black holes and the life cycle of galaxies. In this instance, the immensely destructive capacity of a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy is on display in all of its kaleidoscopic glory.

Everyone has a bad day on occasion. But what if Facebook made it worse

Internet users have reacted angrily to news that Facebook researchers manipulated the content some users were shown in an attempt to gauge their emotional response. 690,000 users. Some people were shown a higher number of positive posts, while others were shown more negative posts.

The results of the experiment, conducted by researchers from Cornell, the University of California, San Francisco and Facebook, were published this month in the prestigious academic journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science.

The study found that users that were shown more negative content were slightly more likely to produce negative posts. Users in the positive group responded with more upbeat posts.

So it worked! Facebook was able to successfully change the emotional state of its users. While the mood changes were small, the researchers argued that the findings have major implications given the size and scale of the social network.

Facebook's term of service gives the company permission to conduct this kind of research, but many users have reacted with anger at what they say is a dangerous social experiment. There is no indication that the 690,000 subjects were asked if they would like to take part in the study.

Facebook uses an algorithm to determine which of roughly 1,500 available posts will show up in a user's News Feed. The company frequently changes this program to modify the mix of news, personal stories and advertisements seen by users

Is this the death of privacy?

Is this the death of privacy? Your every conversation (and glance) streamed live, security hopelessly compromised – and open season for stalkers: Google glasses with video cameras have come here... and may change the way we live for ever

I’m standing in Top Shop as jostling customers browse for handbags and flick through rails of summer dresses. They are not looking at me, but I am watching them.

In fact, I am photographing them, taking video clips and wiring them back to the office. I make a call without lifting a finger. I send a discreet email. But I attract no attention because the camera, the screen and the phone are virtually invisible. They are just a tiny component of my high-tech glasses.

I am looking at the future and the people around me are oblivious. The long-awaited but controversial Google Glass has arrived in Britain, and I am testing what it can do – and not just in terms of making calls or capturing high-quality snaps to show my friends. I am also seeing how it stretches long-cherished ideas of privacy to breaking point. And beyond.

Fantasy will become reality this weekend when the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Grand Turismo® makes its global debut as part of the brand's thrilling and action-packed Goodwood Festival of Speed programme.
The covers come off the NISSAN CONCEPT 2020 Vision Gran Turismo® on Thursday 26 June at 13:00 on the Nissan stand, giving visitors the first chance to see the car up close.

Furthermore, as part of the festivities, Nissan's Chief Planning Officer, Andy Palmer, along with the brand's Chief Creative Officer, Design and Brand Management, Shiro Nakamura, will also be at Goodwood over the course of the weekend to meet members of the media and public alike.

Conceived by the team from Nissan's European design studio in London for the latest installment of the legendary PlayStation driving franchise, Gran Turismo®, the concept points to how a Nissan supercar of the future could look.

And its much-anticipated first appearance will be one of the highlights of a scintillating 2014 festival presence that will showcase like never before the spirit of innovation and excitement embedded in Nissan's DNA.
Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy, now a Nissan driver and brand ambassador, will appear on the Nissan stand three times - between 11:00-11:30 and 14:30-15:00 on Friday and 14:30-15:00 on Sunday - for a Q&A session with fans.
