VIRTUAL MINISTRY.
This is virtual ministry,a place of hope,prayer and faith. In most cases of violence,abuse or neglect,people move to the extreme because they lack knowledge and dont know how to communicate. Some people find it difficult to reach out because of shame,pain and confusion.
This is to reach out to those in need of a shoulder to lean on,just relax sit tight and enjoy. Its new and fresh,take it with you and remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE,JESUS LOVES YOU.

SOPHIA GENETICS SEQUENCING AND CANCER DIAGNOSIS.
Sophia Genetics detects cancer in the lungs, skin, ovaries and breast, as well as congenital diseases, by sequencing the genomes of patient's tissue samples – then uses machine learning to compare the results and suggest the most effective treatments.
Jurgi Camblong,co founder of Sophia genetics is diagnosing cancer using thousands of people's DNA. Hospitals pay each time they use the tool. In its first 18 months, the company was involved in the diagnosis of 25,000 patients.
"The problem is not producing the content or the data but really analyzing to find the important information so you can act on a disease," says Camblong. Sophia Genetics's machine learning system, created in 2011, is used in more than 100 hospitals across 20 European countries, including Oxford University's John Radcliffe Hospital and Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust.
In 2016, it aims to make 80,000 diagnoses. Once the startup, which has raised more
than £20 million from investors including Mike Lynch, receives patient data from a hospital, it can find genes related to diseases, such as BRCA-1 in breast cancer, within two hours.
Genetic sequencing and treatment is being tackled by some of the world's biggest organisations,,such as Google and Amazon both help scientists analyse genetic data, and the NHS is sequencing 100,000 genomes from 70,000 people.
Camblong says 60-person Sophia Genetics' advantage is that it can compare patient data across hospitals. "Algorithms recognize the context in which this raw data has been produced, eliminate biases, and make the results comparable," he says.
The company is monitoring the success of each treatment. "In two years time we could tell you that your cancer looks like the cancer of 1,000 other patients, 500 received that drug and 80 per cent survived," says Camblong. It's not the cure - but it's a better diagnosis.

skin track;turning your skin to a touchscreen.
A lab at Carnegie Mellon University has made a device that turns the wearer's skin to act as a touchscreen. The Future Interfaces Group, part of the university, have created 'SkinTrack', which "enabled continuous tracking on the skin".
A ring, worn on the non-watch hand, emits a "high frequency AC signal" that connect to a sensing wristband, much like the strap of a traditional smartwatch, which is fitted with electrodes.When the ring finger touches the watch-wearing hand, a signal is sent to the watch and allows wearers to navigate their device using their skin.
A number of commands are also possible - you can sign documents, for example, and tracing particular letters will bring up particular apps, for example ('E' for email or 'F' for Facebook). Users can also drag apps off of their device and onto their skin, creating "spatial shortcuts", as well as play games, using their finger and arm as controls.
The team hopes that it could be used in future development of smartwatches because it is "compact, non-invasive, low-cost and low-powered." The team envision the technology being integrated into future smartwatches, supporting rich touch interactions beyond the confines of the small touchscreen.

SkinTrack: Using the Body as an Electrical Waveguide for Continuous Finger Tracking on the Skin.
SkinTrack is a wearable system that enables continuous touch tracking on the skin. It consists of a ring, which emits a continuous high frequency AC signal, and a sensing wristband with multiple electrodes. Due to the phase delay inherent in a high-frequency AC signal propagating through the body, a phase difference can be observed between pairs of electrodes .SkinTrack measures these phase differences to compute a 2D finger touch coordinate. Our approach can segment touch events at 99% accuracy, and resolve the 2D location of touches with a mean error of 7.6mm
DHL's delivery drone can make drops quicker than a car..
The latest version of DHL's delivery drone has made more than 100 successful deliveries and can get parcels to remote villages faster than transporting them across difficult terrain in a car.
The third generation of the company's Parcelcopter completed a three month test period of autonomously carrying parcels to and from set locations in Bavaria, Germany. From January to March this year DHL operated a 'Skyport' where a selected number of private customers in the Reit im Winkl area could take their parcels and put them into the port.
Once the parcel was inserted its delivery system would begin, the drone would take-off and fly to another port eight kilometers away. The drone's cargo was typically either sporting goods or urgently needed medicines and it arrived at the Alm station within just eight minutes of take-off," DHL said in a statement.
The same journey normally takes 30 minutes by car, according to DHL. The drone made 130 deliveries in three months, carrying individual payloads of almost 2kg and flying up to 40mph.
The company launched its first drone delivery service in 2014, with its first development of the Parcelcopter. At the time the copter was used over a 12km open water route, delivering parcels to the car-free island of Juist in Lower Saxony.
The first drone trial could carry up to 1.2kg per trip and provided the community of 1,700 people with basic medical aid.
