The mystery of the lost underground Amazonian city that didn't exist...  that explorers DIED trying to find

The mystery of the lost underground Amazonian city Akakor that didn't exist

If the tale of the search for the lost underground city of Akakor and its Ugha Mongulala tribe sounds like the script for an Indiana Jones movie - it's because it was used as the basis for the last film, The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. Said to have been located in the heart of the Amazon, the civilisation was first mentioned in 1972 by a man called Tatunca Nara (top right with bow and arrows), who claimed to be from the ancient society. He was keen to show people the city and is thought to have led several expeditions to it in the 1970s. Three people on these trips died, though Nara claimed he wasn't with them when they perished. The fantastical details were documented in Brugger's book The Chronicles Of Akakor, which was published in 1972 (bottom right).

The science of selfies: Neural network analyses 2 million pictures and finds females who show their hair, cut off their forehead and abandon their friends do best

What a Deep Neural Network thinks about your #selfie

Convolutional Neural Networks are great: they recognize things, places and people in your personal photos, signs, people and lights in self-driving cars, crops, forests and traffic in aerial imagery, various anomalies in medical images and all kinds of other useful things. But once in a while these powerful visual recognition models can also be warped for distraction, fun and amusement. In this fun experiment we're going to do just that: We'll take a powerful, 140-million-parameter state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Network, feed it 2 million selfies from the internet, and train it to classify good selfies from bad ones. Just because it's easy and because we can. And in the process we might learn how to take better selfies :)

Yeah, I'll do real work. But first, let me tag a #selfie.

Researchers trained a neural network designed to think like the human brain to analyse millions of selfies to find what works. They says the key is to be female, show your hair, but cut off your forehead.

Scientists reveal lithium-oxygen 'superbattery' that could give electric cars the same range as a full tank of gas

EMBARGOED TO 1800 THURSDAY OCTOBER 29
Undated handout photo of four experimental lithium-oxygen batteries being tested in a Cambridge University laboratory. A new battery developed by British scientists could pave the way to electric cars with the same energy storage capacity and endurance as petrol and diesel vehicles.  PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Issue date: Thursday October 29, 2015. In theory, one of the batteries would enable a car to travel from London to Edinburgh on a single charge. Compared with current batteries, it would also be a fifth cheaper and lighter. The "lithium-oxygen" battery, built by Cambridge University researchers, is more than 90% efficient and has a very high "energy density" - meaning it can store a lot of extractable energy.

Meth chocolate bars, cocaine coffee and liquid drugs in rum: Photo collection reveals the weird and wonderful busts made by customs agents

This July 2012 photo provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows methamphetamine disguised as a chocolate candy bar in Los Angeles. Officials said a California man tried to smuggle more than 4 pounds of methamphetamine out of the country disguised as 45 individually wrapped chocolate bars at Los Angeles International Airport.
