By electronically recording data about individual's physical attributes such as fingerprints or iris patterns, security and law enforcement services can quickly identify people with a high degree of accuracy.
as well as improving security, it will be more convenient for the individuals being identified. By using measurements of physiological characteristics,
people no longer need security tokens or cumbersome passwords to identify themselves. However, introducing such technology will come with serious challenges.
'whereby people slowly become accustomed to security and surveillance technologies because they are introduced gradually. This means the public may eventually be faced with much greater use of these systems than they would initially agree to.
For example, implementing biometric identification in smart phones and other everyday objects such as computers or cars could make people see the technology as useful and easy to operate.

#Air force bosses reveal plans for hypersonic planes that could fly from New york to London in an HOUR by 2023 By Mark Prigg For Dailymail. com Published:
20:46 GMT, 2 june 2015 Air force bosses have revealed they hope to have a hypersonic plane capable of crossing countries in minutes by 2023.
Air force Chief Scientist Mica Endsley told Military. com that the Air force and DARPA, the Pentagon's research entity, plan to have a new and improved hypersonic air vehicle by 2023.
'Our goal is to make sure the Air force has the knowledge in 2020 or over the next five years to be able to make acquisition decisions using this technology,'Kenneth Davidson,
manager of the hypersonic materials development at the Air force Research Laboratory had told Military. com Carrying a small, conventional warhead,

insurance companies and other institutional investors in France will be required to disclose how they are managing climate change risks.
France lead will strengthen the drive among investors worldwide to consider the environmental impacts of their investments and the risks to their businesses of failing to do so.
For many financial institutions, the first step on the road to understanding these risks is to commission a carbon footprint of their investment portfolios or loan books.
Many investors already recognize these risks and disclose how they are managing them on a voluntary basis. Almost 50 investors are signed up to the Montréal Pledge launched late last year
These issues include the risks of climate change associated with carbon-intensive assets and the opportunities to invest in low-carbon and renewable energy.
and credit providers to disclose the risks they face. The french government will publish a report on climate change risks by December 31
