The project which is anticipated to give a huge advancement in technology deals
with face detection based on color segmentation followed by
template/energy matching. The drive of the project is to detect the presence
and absence of face using computers. In EE368 (a graduate level introductory
course to the fundamentals of digital image processing) they have given the
task of training a system using collection of seven digital image for this face
detection purpose to a set of students.

People grow fat because of technology
Now will you believe me if am going to tell you that yes, people grow fat with growing technology!?! Feeling that am linking two really unrelated things? Fine let me try to convince you with all the points that I have!
SMART PHONES AS COMPUTER’S REMOTE CONTROL
This project is all about converting your smartphone into
the remote of your computer wirelessly. There exist several situations where we
want to wirelessly and comfortably operate a computer, where the computer
screen is projected onto a big screen through a projector or big-screen
television, such as classrooms, conference/meeting rooms, mobile, workgroup
project environments and modern office environments, and even living rooms This
project will eliminate most of the discomforts we experience in places like
conference rooms class rooms and in places where presentations are given by
projecting computers.
Students’ choices today shape tomorrow’s skills pool
One of the most decisive
decisions taken in the course of a person’s life is choosing the field of study
when entering higher education. This decision may be influenced by a variety of
factors: family, social and economic background; cultural preferences among
peers; values and belief systems; or even moral, political or ideological
viewpoints. Preceding choices made during transitions in secondary school, have
gradually narrowed the options available. Conflicting messages from employers,
labour market agencies, governments and intermediary advisory bodies can impact
the choices students make as well.
Don't give up on ‘Education for All’
The well-being of individuals and
nations depend on nothing more than on what people know and what they can do
with what they know. And if there’s one lesson the global economy has taught us
over the last few years, it’s that we cannot simply bail ourselves out of a
crisis, that we cannot solely stimulate ourselves out of a crisis and that we
cannot just print money our way out of a crisis. Investing in high-quality
education is the gateway to better skills, better jobs and better lives.
Kazakhstan: the dream of better education
Everybody dreams of good
things sometimes, of things one wants to do, be, or have. Countries can dream
too: of economic prosperity, of peace, of a visa-free travel regime or of a
quick way out of a recession…
Mathematics for the 21st century
Why are mathematics taught?
From Aristotle, Plato, Al-Khawarizmi, and Al-Kindi, to John Allen Paulos (Temple U.), Paul Ernest, (U. of Exeter), and Eleanor Robson (U. of Oxford), maths thinkers have stated three types of reasons: emotional, cognitive and practical.

What do we really know about teaching?
I have often heard it said that
everyone thinks they are an expert on education simply because they went to
school. This is an overstatement, of course, but it does seem today that more
and more people have – and express – an opinion about teachers and the quality
of their teaching.
The high cost of truancy
Resisting authority may be some
teenagers’ sport of preference, but they’re hobbling themselves if they think
that skipping school is cool. Results from PISA 2012 show that playing truant is related
to significantly poorer performance in mathematics, which has repercussions on
students’ futures, and on the performance of their school and school system.
But all parents and teachers have the means to reduce the incidence of truancy.
A new direction for education reform in China
China has worked hard to expand
access and improve the quality of education by trying many alternative
approaches to educate more people, both by drawing on the experiences of other
countries or retrieving historical practices. The progress to date has been
tremendous, with nine-year basic education universalised, mass higher education
attained, and youth and adult illiteracy eradicated. The recent 3rd plenary
session of the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee announced
a number of strategies to address social and economic challenges faced by
China. These strategies will, among other things, frame the future direction of
Chinese education. The purpose of the new reforms is not only to pursue further
development, but also address the problems arising from the rapid changes made
over the last two decades.
