Security researchers at McAfee, a computer security company, released a paper showing how modern facial recognition systems can be easily bypassed by exploiting weaknesses in machine learning algorithms. The process used in the research confuses the system to think it’s seeing a completely different person, thereby, fooling the system. The researchers had been studying up extensively on state of the art machine learning algorithms and also worked closely with McAfee’s Advanced Analytics team to develop an approach that can defeat facial recognition systems..

Parallel experiments to quantify glycogen content using biochemical assay, or simultaneous real time measurement of lactate release from the nerves using enzyme based lactate biosensors, correlated action potential conduction with glycogen content, or lactate release, respectively. Depletion of glycogen leaves the MON vulnerable to irreversible injury to a greater extent than exposure to moderate hyperthermia during aglycemia. Glycogen also greatly enhanced the neuroprotective effects of mild hypothermia during aglycemia.

Paper prepared for the Global Studies Association conference 10th to 12th July 2013 at the University of RoehamptonWhile European leaders squabble about whether or not Turkey does or does not belong into the European Union and in Germany, the main destination of Turkish migration in the second half of the 20th century, Turks remain the target of racist discrimination and blame (Soysal 2013), Turkish London looks like a model case of cosmopolitan co existence. During the 2011 Riots Daily Mail reading British tourists in Turkey learned in amazement how members of this “Muslim” population played the part of vigilante defenders of British retail, while the Turkish media noted that against the looters London Turks stood together with London Kurds. While celebrations of multicultural success stories need to be taken with a pinch of salt (particularly as they might be used as reproach towards groups considered less well “integrated”), the inconspicuous and under researched case of London Turcophone ‘ordinary cosmopolitanism’ (Lamont/Aksartova 2002, also cf.

Meanwhile last week both Oppo and Vivo announced price cuts for phones. The Oppo F3 price in India has been cut by Rs. 2,000. While I have come up short in identifying a budget proposal that would allow us to avoid implementing a vehicle registration fee, I have identified a way to reduce the fee from $40 to $35 per vehicle while still balancing the budget. There are downsides and tradeoffs to this proposal and it will make balancing our 2021 budget even more difficult, but I believe we owe it to Madison residents to minimize the impact of the new fee to the degree we’re able. I believe that a reduced fee is a compromise that tightens our belt, while still acknowledging our fiscal reality and allows us to continue to support the provision of high quality city services while beginning the hard work of preparing for a significant overhaul of our transportation system..
