...Real-Time Hand Tracking for HumanComputer Interaction Ayush Tripathi, Kanishk Puri, Nilesh Srivastava, Prateek Dham (Students) Mrs S.S Dhotre(Professor) Computer Science Department Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University College of Engineering Pune, Maharashtra(India) Abstract- The proposed work is part of a project that aims for the control of a mouse based on hand gesture recognition. This goal implies the restriction of real-time response and unconstrained environments. This is basically a vision based skincolour segmentation method for moving hand in real time application [3]. This algorithm is based on three main steps: hand segmentation, hand tracking and gesture recognition from hand features. For the hand segmentation step we use the colour cue due to the characteristic colour values of human [1]. The hands are recognized by the computer using the skin colour as one of the basic features for the hand recognition. The important feature is the accurate segmentation of hands [3]. I. Introduction Nowadays, the majority of the human-computer interaction (HCI) is based on mechanical devices such as keyboards, mouse, joysticks or gamepads. In recent years there has been a growing interest in a class of methods based on computational vision due to its ability to recognise human gestures in a natural way .These methods use as input the images acquired from a camera or from a stereo pair of cameras. The main goal of these algorithms is to measure the hand configuration...

The old Youth Pastor had an inappropriate relationship with a minor under his charge that resulted in him being sent to jail and being identified as sex offender. This horrible and tragic circumstance has caused the church to experience a lack of trust in the leadership, emotional distress...

...Called to Serve, Saved to Serve, Living on Mission with God: During a recent trip to Mexico City, I had the opportunity to visit a church planted by a church planter who was trained by the Bible League. The church has been using our Project Philip program as a way of mobilizing members more effectively to reach their families and communities for Christ. A woman by the name of Gabriella Villa and her husband were two of those people reached through this outreach. (at the church plant we attended) .*they joined the church and went through the Project Philip program as a members of a church *they started working with families sharing the word of God with them through the use of Project Philip. *They had just finished working with a family of 5 when - Another couple came to the Pastor seeking for help with their marriage and significant family issues- issues of violence, drug addiction and gang affiliations. * pastor asks Gabriela and her husband to use God's Word and PP training to help them * couple's marriage falling apart, drug issues, violence, etc. Tearing family apart * the family their lives were transformed, using the Word of God and PP.

...Legal Issues in Ministry Pierce Grayson Monday, June 21, 2010 Yorba Linda Calvary Baptist Church Scandal Accountability is something that we all need to experience in our lives. It’s great for people struggling with addictions and in need of prayer and support. It's also a safeguard against other kinds of temptations that the Yorba Linda Calvary Baptist Church in Yorba Linda, California experienced the late 1990s. The senior pastor Richard Cunningham and his son, who later became the senior pastor, Philip Cunningham, were charged with theft, fraud and forgery when they took over 3.1 million dollars from the church's, and the church's private school's, bank accounts for their own personal expenses including luxury homes and cars. The church secretary Mandy DiAddezio testified that, "Philip Cunningham at times paid his personal credit card using school funds, booking them as travel expenses, and would book payments for his dry-cleaning bill as janitorial expenses. But he also put his own money into the school account when it was low, she said". Philip also paid his children's college tuition with the funds from the church's school's bank account while saying that the church board had approved it. The problem with this is that, according to a former board member at the church, the board only met 2-3 times a year and they were never given proper financial statements or documents to look over. It was always hand-written on a piece of paper...

...A Little Book for New Theologians by Kelly M. Kapic brought many unhappy church related memories to the surface that had been either forgotten or pushed aside. At the time of their occurrence, no doubt I probably questioned the purpose or “organized religion” and possibly even uttered the phrase “does a Christian really need to go to church?” Once such event occurred about five years ago. I was asked to be the associate pastor for a church plant. The church planter was a friend of mine whom I worked with previously at another church. For as long as I knew this man, he wanted to be a lead pastor. Finally the opportunity presented itself. The plan was simple – meet people in our community, begin a home Bible study, and grow from there. However, my friend quickly fell away from his servant position and was blinded by finally being in lead position. He skipped the home Bible study part entirely and rented a building we couldn’t afford so we could have “real church” and “look good” to those around us. My dear friend became obsessed with appearance and power instead of serving the needs of those around us, something he had done so well with for years. He believed if we looked good, the people would flock to us. As his appointed associate pastor I tried speaking to him about the matter, but he wasn’t willing to listen. Sadly, we parted ways after a few attempted conversations, both as partners in this church plant and as friends. I was not free from blame. I too...

After applying an update, automated systems should verify that each system has received its signature update. Configure laptops, workstations, and servers so that they will not auto-run content from USB tokens (i.e., "thumb drives"), USB hard drives, CDs/DVDs, Firewire devices, external serial advanced technology attachment devices, mounted network shares, or other removable media. If the devices are not required for business use, they should be disabled. Configure systems so that they conduct an automated anti-malware scan of removable media when it is inserted.

...1 The Effect of Prediction on Depth of Encoding Student X name University of New South Wales 2 Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of prediction on depth of encoding. Participants (N=136) were given sentence stems and instructed to think of a word to finish the sentence. The full sentence was then completed with either a predictive or a nonpredictive word, and a recognition test given to see how well each word was retained in memory. Out of the three hypotheses, the results supported stronger encoding of predictive words over non-predictive words or the prediction itself. It was suggested this could be due to predictive words forming a more elaborate memory trace, which then integrated better with existing mental categories. 3 The Effect of Prediction on Depth of Encoding When reading a sentence, the mind can form a prediction about which word should come next. Yet it is not clear how this prediction affects the encoding of the actual word that completes the sentence. A word that fulfils the prediction could be better encoded than one that violates it, simply because it forms a smoother fit, or because the mind was already prepared for it. Alternatively, the violation itself might create a stronger impact, leading to better encoding. A third possibility also exists: that the prediction overwrites the encoding of the actual word, regardless of its congruency. One of the most enduring theories of encoding is the levels of processing framework...

...philosophy. Primarily, Open Source fosters creativity. Software products can often require an overwhelming amount of code for one individual or even a few individuals to write, especially if all that code needs to be original so that it does not infringe on another person’s copyright. This may not be a problem for large companies with armies of engineers. But this can be an insurmountable hurdle for individuals or smaller groups. Open source licensing enables developers not only by providing sets of code that can be appropriated towards their final vision, but it also enables others to actively contribute to or improve upon another developer’s product. A great metaphor for the effect of Open Source is Wikipedia.org. Wikipedia’s content is licensed under a Creative Commons license, which achieves the same goals as open source software licenses. Much like encyclopedia volumes, which are collections of articles that contribute to the whole set, software products may be seen as a collection of coded functions. Traditionally, each article of an encyclopedia is written by a small number of employees of the encyclopedia company. Then came Wikipedia. Any person can contribute to almost any article. The result became a go-to resource that cannot be matched in depth, breadth or currentness by any one publisher. Likewise, any of the information may be used freely by any reader as long as they comply with the Attribution and Share Alike...
