In digital imaging, a pixel (abbreviated px), pel, or picture element is the smallest addressable element in a raster image, or the smallest point in an all points addressable display device. In most digital display devices, pixels are the smallest element that can be manipulated through software. Each pixel is a sample of an original image; more samples typically provide more accurate representations of the original. The intensity of each pixel is variable. In color imaging systems, a color is typically represented by three or four component intensities such as red, green, and blue, or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. In some contexts (such as descriptions of camera sensors), ''pixel'' refers to a single scalar element of a multi-component representation (called a ''photosite'' in the camera sensor context, although ''sensel'' is sometimes used), while in yet other contexts (like MRI) it may refer to a set of component intensities for a spatial position.

Malawi Prison Service
The Malawi Prison Service is a Malawian government agency responsible for the administration and management of prisons in Malawi. History The Malawi Prison Service was formed by the Prisons Act of 1956, which established the prison system and the administration of prisons in Malawi. The Act was enacted by the British colonial government, which had previously administered prisons in Malawi through the colonial police force. After Malawi gained independence in 1964, the Malawi Prison Service became a department within the Ministry of Home Affairs. The service was responsible for managing prisons, rehabilitating prisoners, and enforcing prison sentences. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Malawi Prison Service underwent significant expansion and development. New prisons were built, and existing ones were renovated and expanded. The service also introduced new programs and services, such as vocational training, education, and counseling for prisoners. As Nyasaland Prison Service Befo ...

Malawian
This article is about the demographic features of the population of Malawi, including population density, ethnicity, education level, health of the populace, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population. Malawi derives its name from the Maravi, a Bantu people who came from the southern Congo about 600 years ago. On reaching the area north of Lake Malawi, the Maravi divided. One branch, the ancestors of the present-day Chewas, moved south to the west bank of the lake. The other, the ancestors of the Nyanjas, moved down the east bank to the southern part of the country. By AD 1500, the two divisions of the tribe had established a kingdom stretching from north of the present-day city of Nkhotakota to the Zambezi River in the south, and from Lake Malawi in the east, to the Luangwa River in Zambia in the west. Migrations and tribal conflicts precluded the formation of a cohesive Malawian society until the turn of the 20th century. In more rec ...
