Researchers in the Netherlands are studying if a mobile app could detect COVID-19 through changes in a user’s voice. COVID-19 typically targets the upper respiratory system and the larynx, commonly known as the voice box, and it can affect the way people sound. The team built an artificial intelligence model based on data from University of Cambridge’s COVID-19 Sounds App, which has over 800 audio samples from over 4,000 health participants and 308 people who tested positive for COVID-19....

Denver7 reported that Bill Chiles and his wife, Kelly Chiles, who live close to the city of Alamosa, ordered a sought-after Sony Camera from the e-commerce site, spending more than $7,000 in doing so.

His wife Kelly could hardly believe it, especially after sending “proof” to them — a UPS tracking label listing a weight of two pounds....

Pandya’s post on Twitter read: “Which Ambedkar ???

He went on to state that the 24-year-old Surat-born cricketer deliberately hurt the sentiments of his community and that a suitable punishment should be handed out to Pandya for his ‘crass act’....

The Belgium international has established himself as first choice at the Santiago Bernabeu since arriving from Chelsea in August, usurping former number one Keylor Navas after the Costa Rican started the first two LaLiga games.

For the first time since moving back to Spain he has suffered an injury, though, with no timescale put on his recovery from a hip problem....

A host of evidence-free remedies that also include fasting and drinking cognac have been touted by authority figures around the world. In India, “cow urine parties” have been organized to help revelers join forces and consume the waste product, which some falsely claim can kill coronavirus, alongside cow dung.

Corpse Husband has been around for a few years, having started his career on YouTube in 2016 narrating horror stories with his particularly deep voice.

But let’s face it. Sometimes all gamers are looking for is something that looks hot in one thousand and eighty lines of progressive scanning resolution. But hey, The First Templar is hip; it’s out there. It’ll even let you take it for a spin with a friend. Questing for the Holy Grail as a holy soldier isn’t something that just any game is going to let you do, even the pretty ones....

It is the first European nation to restore in-person instruction after shutdowns enacted amid the coronavirus pandemic, the BBC reported, although elementary schools in Sweden never closed in the first place. During a news conference earlier this week, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen confirmed the country would proceed with plans to reopen certain educational institutions, daycare centers and leisure facilities.

It could be a dull as dishwater final day, where Kent bat to earn some points and everyone goes home with the cricket equivalent of a lucky bag from a kid’s party – a few bits and pieces, but nothing of real substance to get excited about. On the other hand, the two skippers could come to a morning agreement to make a game of it. Kent could declare overnight, we could have a merry old thrash before lunch and into early afternoon and then leave them a total to chase in the final innings....
