DEEP FAKES
The term “deep fake” describes videos or images that are edited with artificial intelligence (AI). Essentially, deep fakes are media created by AI that convincingly place a person, or part of a person, such as his or her face, into an image or video. Originally, this produced poor-quality images. Therefore, deep-fake technology has now reached the point which it has many practical uses. Ad companies, in particular, are interested in the technology due to it can give them a competitive edge. One obvious application of deep fakes for advertisers is to recreate living and deceasing celebrities. Doing so can run a company into legal issues, but when permission is granted, there are countless possibility. Advertisers have even added deep-fake advertisements to television programs. The fashion industry is joining in as well, looking to use deep-fake programs creating fashion ads in which runway models’ faces are replaced with our own. Social-media apps such as Snapchat have also added filters that utilize the technology. Although relative new, deep-fake media is definitely stay here. Companies are already discovering its advantages in terms of development costs and accessibility. Perhaps in future, deep-fake ads will become a regular form of advertisement.

White Mountain, Green Tourism
The French Alpine town of Chamonix has been a magnet for tourists since the 18th century. But today, tourism and climate change are putting pressure on the surrounding environment.
Marc Grainger reports.
A. The town of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc sits in a valley at 1,035 metres above sea level in the Haute-Savoie department in south-eastern France. To the northwest are the red peaks of the Aiguilles Rouges massif; to the south-east are the permanently white peaks of Mont Blanc, which at 4,810 metres is the highest mountain in the Alps. It’s a typical Alpine environment, but one that is under increasing strain from the hustle and bustle of human activity.
B. Tourism is Chamonix’s lifeblood. Visitors have been encouraged to visit the valley ever since it was discovered by explorers in 1741. Over 40 years later, in 1786, Mont Blanc’s summit was finally reached by a French doctor and his guide, and this gave birth to the sport of alpinism, with Chamonix at its centre. In 1924, it hosted the first Winter Olympics, and the cable cars and lifts that were built in the years that followed gave everyone access to the ski slopes.
C. Today, Chamonix is a modern town, connected to the outside world via the Mont Blanc Road Tunnel and a busy highway network. It receives up to 60,000 visitors at a time during the ski season, and climbers, hikers and extreme-sports enthusiasts swarm there in the summer in even greater numbers, swelling the town’s population to 100,000. It is the third most visited natural site in the world, according to Chamonix’s Tourism Office and, last year, it had 5.2 million visitor bed nights – all this in a town with fewer than 10,000 permanent inhabitants.
D. This influx of tourists has put the local environment under severe pressure, and the authorities in the valley have decided to take action. Educating visitors is vital. Tourists are warned not to drop rubbish, and there are now recycling points dotted all around the valley, from the town centre to halfway up the mountains. An internet blog reports environmental news in the town, and the ‘green’ message is delivered with all the tourist office’s activities.
E. Low-carbon initiatives are also important for the region. France is committed to reducing its carbon emissions by a factor of four by 2050. Central to achieving this aim is a strategy that encourages communities to identify their carbon emissions on a local level and make plans to reduce them. Studies have identified that accommodation accounts for half of all carbon emissions in the Chamonix valley. Hotels are known to be inefficient operations, but those around Chamonix are now cleaning up their act. Some are using low-energy lighting, restricting water use and making recycling bins available for guests; others have invested in huge projects such as furnishing and decorating using locally sourced materials, using geothermal energy for heating and installing solar panels.
F. Chamonix’s council is encouraging the use of renewable energy in private properties too, by making funds available for green renovations and new constructions. At the same time, public- sector buildings have also undergone improvements to make them more energy efficient and less wasteful. For example, the local ice rink has reduced its annual water consumption from 140,000 cubic metres to 10,000 cubic metres in the space of three years.
G. Improving public transport is another feature of the new policy, as 80 percent of carbon emissions from transport used to come from private vehicles. While the Mont Blanc Express is an ideal way to travel within the valley – and see some incredible scenery along the route – it is much more difficult to arrive in Chamonix from outside by rail. There is no direct line from the closest airport in Geneva, so tourists arriving by air normally transfer by car or bus. However, at a cost of 3.3 million euros a year, Chamonix has introduced a free shuttle service in order to get people out of their cars and into buses fitted with particle filters.
H. If the valley’s visitors and residents want to know why they need to reduce their environmental impact, they just have to look up; the effects of climate change are there for everyone to see in the melting glaciers that cling to the mountains. The fragility of the Alpine environment has long been a concern among local people. Today, 70 percent of the 805 square kilometres that comprise Chamonix-Mont-Blanc is protected in some way. But now, the impact of tourism has led the authorities to recognise that more must be done if the valley is to remain prosperous: that they must not only protect the natural environment better, but also manage the numbers of visitors better, so that its residents can happily remain there.

The Search for Other Earths
Within the last hundred years we have reached the limits of the Solar System, identifying, plotting and mapping the planets which revolve around our sun.
Today the search is on for planets beyond our small pocket of the galaxy, and astronomers are coming up with new ways to locate and describe these exoplanets. The results have come in thick and fast, astounding scientists and capturing the imagination of the public and researchers alike.
By the 2nd century BC, Babylonian astronomers had already identified the inner planets, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, as well as the outer planets, Jupiter and Saturn, although at that time it was still believed that these celestial bodies, as well as the Sun, revolved around the Earth. These discoveries were achieved through direct observation of the night sky. In 1781, Herschel observed what he initially believed to be a comet, but it was later identified as the seventh planet, Uranus. The discovery of Neptune, in 1846, marked the first time that a planet was found through mathematical prediction, rather than direct observation.
Exoplanets, planets which are beyond the Solar System and in orbit around another star, are notoriously hard to observe. The main problem is that the amount of light reflected by the planet is tiny in comparison with that of the star it orbits. Imagine trying to see the glow of a firefly sitting next to a car headlight and you have some idea of the magnitude of the challenge faced by astronomers. Even our best telescopes, which are able to see far-away objects in detail, have difficulty separating the observable light from planets from that of their parent star, which may be one million times brighter. Although a few large planets outside the Solar System have been found by direct imaging, the vast majority have been discovered indirectly.
One of the main methods used is known as the transit method. In this method, which is used by the Kepler orbital telescope, the candidate stars are observed over an extended period. The telescope remains static and monitors the amount of light from a large number of stars at the same time. If a planet in orbit around a candidate star passes directly in front of it, the light level will drop by a fractional amount. This drop in light level can be detected by the telescope, and further analysis can be done to determine the size and orbital period of the planet.
Another method is known as the Doppler wobble method. This refers to a technique which relies on observing the movement of the star as the planet orbits around it, pulling the star from side to side. This allows astronomers to observe the planet indirectly and obtain information about its size, mass, and orbit.
A third method is known as gravitational lensing. This technique makes use of the gravity of a star to magnify the observable light of a second star directly behind it. Small changes in the magnification of the rearmost star allow much smaller planets to be detected than with the transit method. It can also detect planets which orbit further away from their parent star.
Although it has been suggested that planets may exist in orbit around other stars for centuries, these new methods of proving their existence have yielded some surprising results. Based on observations of our own solar system, it was predicted that exoplanets would follow a similar pattern in terms of their size, composition and distribution. Since the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1992, however, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in just a few decades, radically changing our understanding of planetary systems and the galaxy itself.
One of the most surprising discoveries was that of the so-called “hot Jupiters.” These are large gas giants which orbit very closely to their parent star. Using our own system as a model, we would expect that such large bodies would only form far away from the star, but early discoveries by the Kepler telescope changed our understanding of this.
Astronomers have also been shocked by the wide range of planetary types. Again, based on our own solar system, it was assumed that most planetary systems would be made up of small rocky inner planets and large outer gas giants, but observations have revealed a cornucopia of exoplanets. Rocky planets the size of Neptune, for example, have been identified and dubbed “super-Earths” by both scientists and the media.
Of course, the discovery of exoplanets naturally draws us to speculate on the existence of life beyond our solar system. Focusing on this, scientists look at planets which orbit within what is known as the habitable zone. This region varies with the type of star, and is often called the “Goldilocks Zone” because it is not too hot, not too cold, but just right to support life. Researchers have been able to detect atmosphere on some of the exoplanets, and the presence of gases, such as oxygen, hydrogen and methane, as well as water has been proven through spectrographic analysis. Other planetary features, such as volcanoes, tectonic plate movements and magnetic fields, have also been conjectured to exist on a number of exoplanets.
Of course, given the distance to these exoplanets, travelling to them may well prove to be beyond the ability of humans for the next hundreds of years. Yet, by exploring through these techniques, we have expanded our understanding of planetary formation and of the observable universe. So, next time you gaze up at the night sky in wonder at the billions of stars, remember that there are planets orbiting those stars too, and just perhaps an undiscovered form of intelligent life is staring down back at you.
