A Help in Need Is a Help Indeed

Food For The Poor’s Volunteer Program continues to grow. Last month, more than 450 volunteers representing South Florida churches, businesses and community-minded individuals helped the charity assemble 116,640 MannaPack meals for families in need in Ukraine.  Florida Atlantic University Owls women’s volleyball team was eager to pack meals at FAU Arena, its home gymnasium court.

“We make it a little friendly competition because we’re athletes,” said MiaBella English, a junior at FAU. “We really do love giving back and it’s a lot of fun for our team to do together.”At the end of each of their sessions, English and her teammates and other volunteers were invited by FMSC staffers to pray over the boxes of meals they had just packed. Volunteers also raised money to help cover the cost of shipping the meals and provide ongoing humanitarian aid in Ukraine and surrounding areas where refugees have fled.



 “It only takes two hours to be able to give back so much,” said Sofia Mazumdar, a ninth-grader from Nova High who participated with her twin sister, Livia. “It’s so rewarding and it’s a lot of fun.”

ALIVE Community, a Seventh Day Adventist Church in Miami, came with one of the largest teams with nearly 40 members.  “My group loves to volunteer whenever and wherever we can,” said Tatiana Ovalle, of ALIVE Community.”

D igital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions (perhaps more) digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems. The generation and development of digital image processing are mainly affected by three factors. the development of computers, the development of mathematics, the demand for a wide range of applications in environment, agriculture, military, industry and medical science has increased. Canon's current digital cameras are equipped with the DIGIC (an acronym for "Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit") image processor, but do you really know the r
