facial recognition to 100% by using what they call an "averaged" face. In the future, it could mean a new kind of photo for your passport. I spoke to Jenkins from his office at the University of Glasgow. Interviewee - Rob Jenkins As you know, there’s increasing interest in security applications and security infrastructure and biometrics in general. The problem is, a lot of the face recognition systems that are out there simply don’t work at anything like the level that people think they do. So for some

we realized that we could exploit this setup to try to get at the performance level <span class="highlight">of</span> that <span class="highlight">face</span> <span class="highlight">recognition</span> system on images <span class="highlight">of</span> real world variability. So these are images that contain all the variability in lighting and so on that we are used to dealing with in the real world. But it’s exactly that <span class="highlight">information</span> that usually trips up the automatic systems. And so the logic behind this was that if the system is performing well, and we feed it a photograph <span class="highlight">of</span> Bill Clinton, it should tell us that the closest

reduce options for its protection. In addition, islands or island groups, which often have high rates of endemicity, face particularly high levels of threat to their flora. Seven out of the top ten areas listed according to per- centage of threatened flora are islands: St. Helena, Mauritius, Seychelles, Jamaica, French Polynesia, Pitcairn, and Reunion. A great number of plant species known to have medicinal value are at risk of disappearing, leaving their healing potential unfulfilled. For instance, 75% of the
