5 Best Voice Changer Apps for Android
Available Voice changer applications in the digital market are very less in number. This can be due to admittedly small audience. There are few developers who have created decent voice changing applications for Android users. Most of the apps are for real time voice changing which can be used for genuine purposes whereas, other apps are just for playing pranks with friends and family.
Let's discuss the top 5 voice changing applications for Android OS devices:-
1. Voice Changer with Effects
It might not have the best name but it definitely gives you the best features of a voice changer app. This app allows you to choose from a variety of voices available in the application; Darth Vader, Robot, Helium, Megaphone and many more. You can very easily use these voices as your ringtone, notification tone, alarm tone, WhatsApp messages and much more.
It is a great application for people who are creative enough to play with their voices and create something new through their smartphones. It provides you with different filters, cool features and effective user interface. Undoubtedly, with some optimization Voice changer with effects can be a lot better than you can think!
2. Best Voice Changer
It may not be the best voice changer in the virtual market today, but still it provides you with amazing features to notice. It gives you a good amount of filter and effects which can help you to change pre recorded voices or fresh audios easily.
The user interface in quite old school as compared to other voice changing applications. But the features are totally new and refreshing. You can use your creations for your ringtones or as messages to friends. It is totally free of cost for Android users.
3. RoboVox Voice Changer Pro
RoboVox is the only paid voice changing application in the market. But certainly, it's worth it! There are more than 32 effects that can change your voice in different ways. You can transform your voice into some popular ones like Helium, HAL, Dalek, Cylon, Darth Vader and Chipmunk. I am sure this would be a great attraction for science fiction fans.
It can modify your voice through different modes. And it will modify your pitch and modulation as well. It is available for free as well as paid version, the only issue is that it restricts some of the features in the freemium version. Indeed, one of the best voice changer you can download on your phone!
4. Voice Changer
Voice changer displays a very simple and common name. Let me tell you that this application is quite simple and easy to use. With Voice Recorder you can record your voice, give effects to it, use filters to enhance the quality and save it in your library.
Then of course, you can use it as messages on WhatsApp or ringtones on your smartphone. It has a very simplistic user interface which makes your voice changing experience quite delightful.
5. Voice changer (Prank)
If you want to play a prank with your friend or scare them through your voice then you have landed up on the right place. Voice changer (Prank) allows you to record your voice with 64 different sound effects like cricket noise, train passing by and many more. You can add fake environment sounds to make your voice sound more realistic. Users can share the the recorded voice with friends on WhatsApp, for that matter on Facebook too.
The application also has an alien lip sync mode, where you speak and the robot lips copy you. Though. It does not work very well on your smartphones, it can be tried out. Overall an amazing application for recording voices and sharing it with friends!
These were the top 5 voice changer applications. You can enjoy the apps for free as well as in premium version. We would recommend you to switch to premium version after trying out the free options. It would be a great experience on these apps, believe me, you'll really enjoy working with them!

We're thrilled to introduce the winner of the Insiders in Action Contest! We asked Windows Insiders to enter the contest by showing us how Windows helps them do what they love. Beerend Hierck's team at Leiden University Medical Center was selected as a winner out of nearly 350 applications received from over 75 countries. Thank you, Windows fans!
Mixed reality is one of most exciting innovations gaining traction today. Also known as MR or augmented reality, it has the potential to dramatically improve the way we learn and work. Seeing this potential, Beerend Hierck and his team at Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands have developed an app called DynamicAnatomy that opens up new pathways for medical students and doctors to gain an in-depth understanding of the human body.
Wearing a HoloLens loaded with the app, medical students can learn with the help of a three dimensional (3D) hologram. For now, the app is focused on the ankle and foot area. The user can walk around an enlarged 3D model of the lower leg while toggling the display of bones, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and more. The life-like model lifts, tilts, and stretches realistically, making it easy to learn the complex functions of the ankle and foot joints.
Having taught at medical school for more than 25 years, Beerend has long sought a better way to enable students to learn in 3D. "Typically, for the first three years of study, students learn the anatomy of the human body essentially in 2D—from books, computers, and tablets. They learn a bit from each other, and there are 3D specimens in the dissection hall, but that's limited, because it's time consuming and expensive," he explained.
"Later, students come into contact with patients, who are far from 2D of course. We saw that they had to relearn their anatomy lessons to some extent, which was essentially a waste of time. So this project is an exploration of how to improve learning and teaching using 3D," Beerend said.
Using mixed reality and the HoloLens is an especially immersive way to learn. Students can work in groups and each wear a HoloLens unit while interacting with the same hologram. And when DynamicAnatomy is paired with a motion capture suit, students can even flex and rotate their own ankles and watch the hologram's various parts moving and responding in real time. The result is being able to feel the motion that you are initiating, which adds a sensory and kinesthetic component to learning.
"A lot of people are working on haptics," Beerend said. (Haptic holograms simulate the sensation of touch when you interact with them.) "We took it from the other side and used our own body or our own movement to move the hologram. That helps the students to learn from their own bodies. For example, not every student is capable of stretching their foot a certain way. And they can discuss why one can stretch their foot more than the other, because—perhaps one played soccer and was kicked in the ankle and injured, etc. They really love seeing exactly what is happening inside. »
To secure funding for the project, Beerend's team at the medical school collaborated with Leiden University's Centre for Innovation to apply for a grant from the Netherlands. After securing the grant, the team was able to join forces with a software company to develop the user interface and use HoloLens to bring their vision to life. The software development process took about six months.
Being part of the Windows Insider program helped Beerend's team gain early access to updates, including the Fall Creators update, which was essential for HoloLens developers. They also relied on the Insider community for feedback and help with troubleshooting. "It's such fun to work not only with such a cool device but also with the whole community," Beerend said. « The community organized within the Insider program is helping each other a lot with implementation questions—working out things that almost everybody suffers from when they're developing the big stuff. And so, both the Insider Program's community and the early access to software improvements were very important to our process. »
Students have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about using the app as part of their learning. To quantify the app's advantages, the team is officially studying how augmented reality and the app improve the educational experience. « I love cutting edge technology, but only if it helps me do my job better," Beerend added. "So, we are doing all kinds of experiments to prove how augmented reality is valuable for improving student learning. We're studying how it relates to 3D cognition, motivation, and knowledge retention."
Beerend's colleagues in the medical field are already excited by the possibilities of deploying augmented reality in a variety of ways. For example, using 3D modeling for MRI data could help both doctors and patients better understand what's happening with their bodies. Augmented reality could help doctors vividly demonstrate to one another how they've performed complex procedures, and it could be used to overlay holographic information during surgical operations.
Today, the DynamicAnatomy team includes medical students who are helping improve the app and expand its capabilities to other parts of the human body. "We're working now with students to develop a lower-tech solution, because not everybody has a motion capture suit," Beerend said. "As we speak, these students are working on the algorithms to make that happen." Students are also creating features that gamify learning through the app. Beerend is happy to point out that as co-creators, the students keep him "very sharp" and inspired with fresh ideas.
Intrigued yet? DynamicAnatomy is available to download for free at the Microsoft Store. You can follow the app's progress here or connect with Beerend on LinkedIn here. Once again, congrats to Beerend and his team for winning the inaugural Insiders in Action contest and having their photo and story featured on our home page! Would you like your work profiled on the Windows Insider home page? Enter the next Insiders in Action Contest, to be announced next month!

Many of the Irish- and Italian-heritage, and nominally-Catholic legislators go right along with the Christ-denying, anything-goes UUs. (Isn't this apostasy?)There she is attacking someone else's religion. Just a few days ago she was bitching because the Religious Coalition for Marriage was picketing outside of the Tremont Temple yet she has no problem attacking a whole religion. Unless you worship her God in the way that she says you should you are evil. For the record Ms. Massresistance, apostasy refers to renunciation and criticizing of one's former religion, so NO, it's not apostasy. But then again I suspect you would have attacked the Christians for taking in the Jews in Nazi Germany because they differ on who Jesus was/is.
And after the homosexual priest sex-abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, the Mass. Catholic Conference has lost much of its power to sway the Catholic legislators.Once again, she's blinded by the Dark. It was a PEDOPHILE priest sex-abuse scandal, repeating the tired old lie that gay people were responsible for the abuse is criminal as well as stupid. Unless of course you forget about the girls who were also abused by the priests (not to mention the bishops who looked the other way and actually moved the sick priests to prey on more children). There is a wonderful Letter to the Editor in the Globe today that addresses this issue head on.
I love this section:
Another striking thing about that day was the rowdiness of the queer activist crowd, both inside and outside the State House. A few other passages from this now-missing report reveal that they are not as polite as the media likes to pretend. And they're very skilled at intimidation and harassment.Now when I entered the Great Hall with my camera I was taking pictures of everyone, the pro-equality people, the legislators, and anti-gay group. Strangely enough, it was only the people from the "Vote On Marriage", the so called "Christians", that were belligerent. Here's a picture of one guy that ran up to me after I was taking pictures and wanted to know everything about me (my name, who I was with, etc.. I felt like I was getting interrogated) However, according to Ms. Massresistance, we were the ones intimidating others. I guess he never met up the woman outside holding up the Article 8 sign who refused to give her name or maybe they were together?
Finally I'd like to address her calling us "rowdy". I thought we were patriotic (we kept to patriotic songs), fun and yes, we were loud (there were a lot of us). We were there because bad people were trying to taking away our rights. And, we will be there again and again and again as long as bad people keep trying to take away the rights of a minority. You see, these bad things people like you Ms. Massresistance, Article 8 and Mass "Family" Institute do directly affects us. We will not stand idly by while you try to strip protections from families so if that is what "rowdy" is, Yes, we were rowdy. Discrimination will not be tolerated now or in the future.
And when you try and take the children away from gay and lesbian parents (and I know that's next on YOUR agenda) the fight will continue.

I know. Not color. Going to work on that and the previous page tomorrow.
That being said — MIA IN A CORSET! Well, an ill-fitting one.
This also marks my return to hand drawing the sequential art for the first time in… oh… over two years. While I've been on the fence about going back to drawing the line art by hand, last week's minor tablet crisis really tipped me over as my computer equipment status should not determine whether or not I'm able to draw that day. Paper doesn't crash, right?
Also, if anybody is interested, I'm going to start selling off the original art pieces through our store. In fact, this page can be yours by clicking this link.

This past month, I attended the second annual Northwest Catholic Women's Conference near Bend, Oregon. One of the speakers, a mom of seven children, discussed her struggles to be fully present in her busy, day-to-day life.
I could relate.
I tend to get caught up in multiple projects, biting off more than I can chew. I think that's how my phone ended up in the freezer that one time and how I accidentally triple-booked my family that other time.
Anyway, the speaker recently gained helpful perspective from a wise priest. He said, "Commend your past to Divine Mercy. Entrust your future to Divine Providence. Live holy the present moment."
The priest's words sounded familiar. Apparently, various iterations of this sentiment have been passed on for ages. In the calm of the retreat center, however, I received them in a new, heart-changing way.
I've been clinging to Jesus's Divine Mercy for a long while now. I often rejoice in God's love and mercy as I shed the baggage of guilt, shame, and regret in the confessional.
But I'm human, so sometimes I don't truly let things go even after I've received absolution. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Jesus puts my sins as far from me as the east is from the west, and yet I pick up the baggage again, allowing it to weigh me down. Commending my past to Divine Mercy means I must drop everything at the foot of the Cross and – this is key – leave it there.
Please read the rest here.

I just received some new stash, and this was a chance to experiment with it: acrylic paints ( a set of Fresco Finish paints in tropical colours, and some others in pink and green), a little skull guy from Stampotique, Idiot Flowers from Stampinback and Sharpies in bright pastel colours.
The page without paint with can be seen here, I had glued torn scraps on this spread already a few days ago. Since I wasn't using a brush, I spread gesso with the side of a plastic card and the paints with a palette knife (trying to make circles, hmm). Parts of the papers show better than others, because some of the paints are more translucent than others. I used peg stamps for the text on the left side and VivaLasVegaStamps Steampunk letters for the blocks underneath the skull guy.

David Ragan will be a popular driver with the youngsters at Kansas Speedway Saturday night.
The race is Ragan's first driving the No. 55 Aaron's Dream Machine Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing. But to the younger NASCAR fans, Ragan's No. 55 will be the car carrying the paint scheme that features pop culture phenom SpongeBob SquarePants.
"We're certainly going to stand out in Kansas," laughed Ragan. "What a way to begin my time with Aaron's and MWR. I was a little old to watch SpongeBob growing up but I have sure heard about it from a lot of kids lately. He has a lot of fans. I'd love to take him to victory lane Saturday night."
Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has been the most-watched animated program with kids 2 – 11 for more than 13 consecutive years, and over the past several years, it has averaged more than 100,000,000 total viewers every quarter across all Nickelodeon networks.
Ragan, who made his 300th Sprint Cup start last weekend at Talladega, would like nothing better than to convert a few of those young viewers to permanent NASCAR fans. That's just one of the goals as he climbs into the car driven by Brian Vickers, Brett Moffitt and Michael Waltrip in 2015. Ragan is 20th in the Chase standings battling for one of the 16 spots in NASCAR's playoffs.
"Our expectations are very high," said Ragan. "At the end of the day, Michael Waltrip Racing has all the tools and resources that Joe Gibbs Racing has, that Hendrick Motorsports or Stewart-Haas Racing has. There's no reason for us not to be able to win a race and have a shot at making the Chase. Certainly, that is our goal going forward.
"We've got a lot of really good race tracks for me, a lot of good race tracks for the MWR bunch – they're working extremely hard trying to get those Toyotas as competitive and as fast as they can. I've been around the shop for just a few hours and I'm very impressed with what they have going on. Our expectations are really high. We want to make the Chase and we want to win some races and I know that that can be done."
Ragan also said he looks forward to winning a Sprint Cup Series race on Mother's Day.
"My mom (Beverly Ragan) probably hasn't been thanked enough over the years. It's always about my dad or my uncle or my family members that have paved the way from a mechanical or financial standpoint. My mom -- even though she couldn't tell you the difference between a lugnut and a carburetor -- loves racing. She's a big racing fan and a big supporter. She is the one who kept me in line those days that I didn't want to go to school. She made me stick to what I needed to do as a young kid and continue to go racing at the same time.
"My mom is a great mom and a good wife to my dad. She's a good lady."

Not all new buildings in Denver are as awful as the kinds of n'architecture Michael Paglia lampoons in "The Hateful Eight." Not all modern architecture rates a rant on Denver Fugly. Over the past fifteen years, this city has gained some beautiful buildings, including the Fredric C. Hamilton wing of the Denver Art Museum that made Paglia's 2015 list of the "Ten Best 21st-Century Buildings in Downtown Denver."
While that structure won't be included on the lineup of the 2016 Denver Modern Homes Tour this Saturday, May 21, on that tour you can visit plenty of other great buildings that aren't usually open to the public, unlike the DAM. To help people see that not all new builds are sights for sore eyes, we're giving away a pair of tickets to the tour. (Otherwise, tickets are $35 each in advance, $40 on Saturday.)
Want to win? Then tell us what's your favorite building — modern or not — in Denver, and why. You can share your answer in the comments section of this post, or send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline to enter is noon tomorrow; we'll announce the winner at 5 p.m.
And may the best building-answer win!

Anyone Remember Santa Face Cookies?
Baking By nesweetcake Updated 23 Oct 2010 , 1:40pm by nesweetcake
I can't remember, but was sure that I had seen on cc last year, a darling red cookie with a santa face on it that was a mold from first impressions. Does anyone remember this cookie, who made it or where it might be in the gallery. I've just spent an hour looking and can't seem to find. Thanks in advance for any help.
No one remembers???
Sorry, don't think I ever saw it.
Thanks anyhow. I'll keep racking my brain, I've made it through 150+ pages in gallery and maybe it will show up. Thanks.
Could you be thinking of the Aunt Chick's Santa Face cookie cutters?
These don't look molded, but they're the closest I see to the look of the First Impressions Santa Face mold:
The mold is here:
Thanks Cindy58, not exactly it, but really cool. thanks for the info....may even try thoes how unique. Windemire, yes that is the mold, the cookie I believe was made with that santa face on top. Thanks much. Getting hotter! Much thanks.
Myslady you are Fabulous! This is it. I've been searching for a week. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.

This interview was from last year with Randy Blue, but I thought it was a good one. Check it out. Maybe you will learn a little bit more about me. 🙂
My very first scene has just come out for MenAtPlay! I'm very excited, and I'm surprised its out already since I was only just there filming a couple weeks ago! Talk about a quick turn around.
It's a solo scene. I've been really excited for this scene since I think it was such great set/concept, plus I loved wearing the suit! Felt like a powerful rancher wearing the suit laying around on the saddle and cowhides. It was HOT. I don't get many instances where I get to dress up in great well fitting suits like that, so it was definitely a hot experience since I have that attraction to the suit fetish myself. 🙂 You cant help but feel sexy when your in clothes like that.

Below are some pics that go with the solo I shot. I think they look amazing, most definitely the best pictures of me out there.
Please go check out my scene at http://www.menatplay.com/movie/paul-wagner. Let me know what you think, and I really hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed filming it. 🙂
Thanks so much for everyones support.
I just want to start with a little side story that leads into why I was so excited for this trip:
When I first came out about 5/6 years ago I discovered MenAtPlay. I thought and still do think it's some of the hottest porn. I would jerk off to their videos all the time. Then about a year after I came out I started working in porn. I never thought I would be given the opportunity to film for the company I always fantasied about so much, but it finally happened!
I just finished up an amazing, and fun trip to London where I went to film for MenAtPlay. I had such a great time with all of the guys that worked there. They really helped make it such a positive experience for me. I was very nervous going to film, hoping to leave a good impression, but it didn't take long till I felt very comfortable at the studio.
I filmed a total of four scenes while I was there. I am really looking forward to the solo I shot. They did some great things. I think it will come out looking amazing!
Aside from working, I did go around the city a little. Spent some time in Soho and drank some… OK a lot LOL. Hopefully there are no embarrassing photos of me floating around after the weekend. Went to the Zoo over the weekend, was a nice little zoo. A bit cold, so some of the animals weren't out. I still had a good time despite the weather.
I want to give a Special thanks to the owners of MenAtPlay: Andy and Adrian, and all of the crew: Paul (Hilarious and amazing guy), Joel, Nacho, and of course Bruno Knight. Thanks for making it such a great trip and hope to see you all again soon.
Below are a couple of links to the MenAtPlay tumbler for some shots from the shoots.
Enjoy, and I will definitely post when my scenes start to come out.
Hey Everyone!
Recently I have filmed a few scenes with Randy Blue. It's been great experience and hopefully more to come. I just wanted to post a few G-Rated photos from the two scenes that I have out, a solo and a hard-core scene with Reese Rideout.
My friend here in LA was working on the music of this video put together by the guys at Randy Blue. Im not in the video. 😦 lol but I thought it was worth sharing with everyone. I enjoyed it.

(Translation from English to Chinese)
I continue to research the issue in Thailand. Koreans and Chinese say that Thai women were kidnapped by Japanese Soldiers in WWII and used as sex slaves. Thailand is even listed on the plaque at the comfort woman war memorial in Glendale, California. (I went there and saw it.)
I continue to ask old Thai people about stories from World War II, or from their parents. Neither I nor several other researchers have been able to find any evidence. In fact, there is evidence that the Japanese military and Thais actually were running the normal brothels. (The Comfort Women system existed and still exists worldwide. It is called prostitution.)
Last night I had dinner with two senior Thais (born in 1941 and 1946) and they said they never heard such stories from their parents, and that older generations liked Japanese. The elder Thais were surprised when I told them about the accusations against Japan. They never heard such a thing.
Do not take my word for it. If you are in Thailand, please ask elderly people in your area what they think. There are many Thai readers here. Please help by asking the oldest people you can find what they think about Japanese in World War II, and today.
It is important to note that during World War II, many Japanese soldiers actually were Korean. The reputation of Korean Soldiers is extremely bad from World War II and Vietnam. Extremely bad.
The reputation of US Soldiers (I spent about six years in Europe and speak German) has nearly always been good or very good. In every country that I have been where US troops fought or were stationed, I ask what people think about our troops.
On the whole, the reputation is very good, but there are pockets of ill-will. But then that happens even around major bases in the US.
Young troops + high testosterone + money in their pockets = Trouble. Most of the troops are good but that small percent of bad guys makes plenty of headlines.
Keep in mind that in previous generations the US military could execute US troops who committed rape. Japanese actually did similar with their troops. Koreans...different story.
Until just a few years ago, drunkenness was actually a rape defense in Korean courts. That's right. A Korean man could say he was drunk and that actually was a mitigating excuse. Try that excuse in the US Army and it will backfire like a howitzer exploding. Being drunk is no excuse for US troops -- that will make the legal problem even worse.
直到几年前,在韩国法院醉酒竟是一个强奸的保护。确实。一个韩国男人能说他喝醉了而且这个确实是一个减轻的借口。试想这个借口在美国军队里,这将像一个榴弹炮爆炸的回火一样。对美军来说,喝醉酒不是借口 -- 将引起法律问题甚至更糟。
Exceptions to the good reputation of US troops typically occur due to crimes from individual US troops, such as rapes. There have been similar problems with Japanese. Definitely some limited rapes happen and happened. We know this as fact, but the idea of widespread sex-slavery by Japanese or widespread rapes by USA is sufficiently disproven to the point that I have dismissed it.
Nevertheless, I do continue to look and will look in more countries to make sure that this is correct. I must remain open minded but the lack of evidence, and presence of counter-evidence, is astounding.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are in vogue right now–likely the most popular technology terms on the whole of the Internet. The applications of these technologies have been predicted to revolutionize almost anything, from what we eat to how we show to how we process massive amounts of data in the Enterprise.
Healthcare is no exception to this rule, with physicians detecting cancer with deep learning and hospitals finding new efficiencies by using the technology, but there is a deeper need driving the adoption of machine learning technology in healthcare: the need for speed.
No, this is not an intentional, cheezy reference to a 1986 cult-classic film, it's a real need, brought on by the Amazon problem: consumers (who are also patients) need things faster and more accurately than ever before. On a less "problem" driven note, so do health care professionals. Solving highly complex healthcare workflows and science-based challenges means that the more tasks we can transfer with confidence to computers, the better.
One still has to go to medical school or nursing school. One still has to receive ACLS certification and practice in blood draws. But the more leeway healthcare professionals and institutions have to move things online, likely the better, and it's going to make healthcare better.
Preventative Care
Ever heard that adage "get a second opinion?" All too often today, that second opinion comes at either great cost, or is an iffy factoid absorbed from the Internet. When it comes to emerging healthcare issues on an individual basis, having accurate, actionable, preventative care information is crucial.
Machine learning and empower medical professionals to understand with extreme specificity the exact medical needs of a patient.
Let's say you have a patient who comes in with high blood pressure, cellular stress and modest obesity. A machine learning algorithm can take these and all other patient data into account and create a heatmap of data that can inform a physician of their likelihood for future problems if these trends continue. This could eventually expand as deeply as familial genetic information, providing a much, much deeper patient picture than was ever possible before.
This makes preventative care more effective, and that lead to tremendous prevention of pain and suffering as well as cost savings. It simply makes sense as a broad-based application.
Deep Care and Research
Charges by the likes of Joe Biden and others to do big things in healthcare, such as solving cancer, are common these days. Revolutions like these are on the scale of antibiotics and vaccinations, and are considerably more complex and difficult than almost any other medical challenge tackled to date.
Machine learning is the only way forward. There is too much genetic and other data to compile or program by traditional means. Machine learning models can not just cut workloads for researchers and "deep care" physicians like oncologists down dramatically, it actually drives results that aren't possible through human analysis.
Take clinical trials for example. Essential to the development of new drugs and treatments, there has been a century-long problem of matching trial participants with trial treatments. Machine learning can mine healthcare databases on both the drug and patient side to make this match so seamless. There is so much of this data that there is no way a given physician or trial group could hope to be more effective that a computer at this process–and it matters a lot in terms of results and outcomes.
No, we won't solve cancer in a day this way, and we likely can't promise remarkable results only through the application of these new technologies–but there is great confidence that they will make a difference.
At the Hospital
Hospitals are technology powered marvels, and machine learning is just the type of efficiency driver that they tend to adopt. From monitoring individual patient beds to streamlining management and billing, applications of machine learning could introduce cost savings and efficiencies that everyone could benefit from.
This is particularly important as we move away from the individual clinician model of medicine to group- and hospital-based physician care. How fantastic would it be to have even a scheduling system that understands patients and can help prioritize appointment setting and flow of information between departments and specialties.
The application of machine learning makes sense in so many ways. It will be interesting and exciting to see the applications and reap the benefits.Comments »

Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Trail Blazers
Moda Center
7:30 p.m. PST
April 16, 2014
1. Are Paul-Griffin and Lillard-Aldridge the two best point guard-power forward combinations in the NBA?
Patrick James, (@patrickmjames): This seems like a no-brainer, though Tony Parker and Tim Duncan should probably be in the conversation. They've been so good for so long, and it's hard to ignore them considering that whole best-regular-season-team-in-
Seth Partnow, (@WhrOffnsHppns): Paul and Griffin are definitely the best pairing unless Tim Duncan counts as a power forward. I'm not as high on Lillard as some so I don't think Portland's duo is on that level, but he and Aldridge are comfortably in the second tier of combos with Conley-Randolph, Curry-Lee and Westbrook-Ibaka.
Fred Katz, (@FredKatz): No. But it's close. Paul and Griffin are probably the best combination right now, but there are two Hall of Famers in San Antonio (if you consider one of them a power forward) who are leaps and bounds ahead of Lillard and Aldridge. The Portland combo could only be in the top two if you decide you're treating this video game style: no defense, no problem.
2. Should the Clippers gun for the No. 2 seed tonight?
James: Whether they should or not is kind of immaterial. Blake Griffin is taking a league-mandated night off for his Barnesian, after-the-whistle swipe at the ball/Timofey Mozgov's head. J.J. Redick is resting because he's still easing back into rhythm, and there are no back-to-backs in the playoffs, so it's not worth playing him tonight. It looks like they'll be prioritizing health over seeding.
Partnow: Due to the vagaries of the schedule, the Clippers will know if that's even a possibility either by or shortly after tip off, and further whether gaining the second seed would have them play Memphis or Dallas. Of course, even if it is possible to get the No. 2 seed, we already know Griffin and JJ Redick are not traveling, so it will be a short-handed squad. I know I didn't answer the question, but do we really think Detroit is going to win in Oklahoma City?
Katz: Tonight's motto: Play hard, but play no one. We'll leave it at that.
3. It's the last game of the regular season. What's the most important thing to look for in tonight's game?
James: The lineups! Who's even playing in this game? The Blazers are locked into the No. 5 seed regardless of what happens tonight, so resting their starters isn't inconceivable. And as we said, the Clippers will be without Redick and Griffin, as well as Danny Granger and potentially Chris Paul. It could have all the sloppy energy of a pre-season game.
Partnow: Don't get hurt. Avoid injuries. Don't get into fights and thus incur suspensions. DO NOT GET CHRIS PAUL OR DEANDRE JORDAN HURT. To be honest, if OKC wins, wrap DJ and CP3 in a fine layer of gauze and play Reggie Bullock, Ryan Hollins and Willies Green 35+ minutes each.
Katz: Well, there are a couple. Does DeAndre Jordan continue his best-in-the-NBA consecutive games streak or does he get his first night off in years? Does Willie J. Green continue his being-the-ultimate-professional streak? Which one ends first? Do we have to wait until next year to find out? This is why we play 82 games, people. This is where the magic happens.

Wesley College Students Earn Awards at National Chemistry Event
Posted April 11th, 2013 at 2:18pm
Wesley College students have completed eight undergraduate chemistry research projects during the past year. Three earned recognition at the 245th National American Chemistry Society (ACS) Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans, LA, from April 7-11.
Mentored by Wesley Professor of Chemistry Dr. Malcolm J. D'Souza, eleven students; Gabriel Fernandez-Bueno (biological chemistry), Catherine Gross (biological chemistry), Jasbir Deol (biological chemistry), Kyle Gillespie (biological chemistry), Kaylee Miller (biological chemistry), Aaron Givens (biological chemistry), Brett Sansbury (biological chemistry), Maryeah Pavey (medical technology), Victor DeBarros II (biological chemistry), Olivia Hampton (biology), and Ashley Harmon (biology), presented eight posters at the event.
"Undergraduate research is an exciting opportunity that we offer our students here at Wesley," said D'Souza. "To see them excel nationally is very rewarding and gives them a distinct edge over other their peers."
There were more than 12,000 oral presentations and more than 4,500 poster presentations at the ACS Meeting and Exposition. Three of the Wesley College posters earned poster presentation awards. The students that received these awards were: Catherine Gross, Kaylee Miller, Brett Sansbury, Olivia Hampton, and Gabriel Fernandez-Bueno. The Wesley College undergraduate research program in chemistry is supported by grants from the NIH DE-INBRE program, the NSF DE-EPSCoR program, an NSF ARI R2 grant, and the NASA DE-Space grant undergraduate tuition award program.

Newton - Fighting the Tobacco Industry
Newton - Kampf um den Rauch
Cigarette smoke contains a huge health risk that was long kept secret by the tobacco industry. It wasn't until the insider Jeffrey Wigand went public with his knowledge of the health risk in 1996 that this strategy was revealed. Jeffrey Wigand was vice president of the R&D division at Brown & Williamson, a tobacco company owned by British American Tobacco. After his television performance on 60 Minutes, the company sued him and he got anonymous death threats. The scandal was portrayed in the Oscar-nominated film 'The Insider' with Russel Crowe and Al Pacino. Jeffrey Wigand has since spent his entire time educating people on the consequences of smoking. His Smoke-Free Kids foundation aims at convincing young people in particular of a life without smoking. Scientist have now investigated many ingredients in cigarettes and proved the addictive and carcinogenic effect of many of the substances. Nevertheless the tobacco industry continues to find a way to reach consumers.

I recently taught a Yoga For Cyclists workshop at Mission Cliffs, and I wanted to put some suggestions out there for those of who couldn't make it, and a refresher out there for those of you who did!
Cyclists tend to have short, tight chest muscles and tense, but overstretched, upper and lower back muscles from continually hunching over their handle bars (for more details on this, see my recent blog post on getting to the root of upper back tension). To stretch the chest muscles and give the upper back muscles a chance to relax, try this prone shoulder opening twist. To strengthen upper and lower back muscles, try locust pose.
Cyclists can develop tight hips, which may contribute to lower back soreness. To stretch tight hip flexors, quads, and hamstrings, consider moving through the following sequence on both sides, holding each of poses for at least thirty seconds:
- Low lunge (stretches the hip flexors)
- Bend into the back knee to come into a quad stretch.
- Release the back leg and straighten into the front knee for half splits (see Refining Your Hamstring Stretches for more details on getting the most out of this pose).
To stretch the outer hip muscles try pigeon pose or thread the needle. It is important to stretch the outer hip muscles as these muscle can contribute to tension in the IT band (a long strap of connective tissue running from your hip to below your knee), which can cause problems in both the hip and the knee.
It is also important to maintain strong core muscles to have healthy form while cycling. As mentioned above, locust will help strengthen your low back. Holding plank pose will strengthen all the core muscles at once.
I hope that gives you some stuff to try at home for now. I will be offering the Yoga For Cyclists workshop again soon at Mission Cliffs, so keep your eyes out for it!

At first the eye is uncertain as to what you are seeing – is the object printed, drawn or carved on the books? Then as you approach another step or two the image resolves and delicately carved spaces appear to be niches waiting the replenishment of the subject – either life sized birds or bonsais. The carved facia of the book is a mould for the endless replication and duplication of the subject - an anachronism out of step with our age of digital rather than the outdated forms of mechanical replication. And yet it isn't just the subject's mould but also a reference to a host of issues about the transmission of information through our media.
The viewer is invited to consider the relationship between books as information transmitters and the secreting of objects within roughly carved spaces within the books as you might see in a film or newspaper cutting, where an object is interred from all but the genuine recipient's gaze.
Ornithological and botanical books are a common meeting place for packaging art and information – we can reflect on the botanical or ornithological subject's absence – their hidden details including information about its colour and texture lost from transmission.
The artist, in an unpublished essay on this exhibition states that:
Like the experience of visiting a zoo enclosure – not knowing whether to look for a well-camouflaged animal, or give up assuming the enclosure is in fact empty... The viewer may begin to ponder the function of the altered object – is it a memorial to a plant that once existed, a smuggling device for a precious species, a botanist's tool or an object a child uses for keeping secret pets?
Such is the viewer's position that you could consider the artist has stolen the object from us, the objects' recessed essence clean shaved from its existence – however you could not walk away from the exhibits without contemplating the exquisite skill and finish that make these pieces desirable in their own right.
The bonsais carved from the leading edge of a stack of books creates a grid like effect that contains the spreading limbs and foliage as they rest on an oriental inspired base - referencing themes that string all the way back to European artists including Delacroix, Matisse and Van Gogh who explored their interest in Japanese woodblocks in their own work by flattening the picture space using panels of colour.
Again, within the Western development of sculpture the artist has played on the importance of balancing space and solids or voids and mass – investigations that were central to the work of the twentieth century sculptors such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
Kylie Stillman's exhibition is a successful resolution of all these themes – but most of all it reveals an artist with the technical facility to create these lovely objects within an intriguing intellectual framework.

The grants are worth up to $5000, and aim to help people with disabilities build their confidence or to communicate within their community.
Minister for Disability Services John Ajaka said projects could include going to a public speaking course to increase confidence or creating a support group to share information about moving out of home.
"This initiative is giving people real opportunities to experiment and trial new ways of doing things, and a chance for them to share their learning or experience with others," he said.
The grants are part of the government's $5 million My Choice Matters initiative, which the NSW Council for Intellectual Disability is administering.
After 7 April the initiative will offer three more grant rounds this year.

How Can I Get a Miracle?
"I tell you the truth, if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. All things will be possible for you." Matthew 17:20-21 (NCV)
Miracles are part of the wonderful mystery of God to me. So many today want to offer some kind of formula to conjure up a miracle or some special prayer that forces God to act on our behalf and pull off a miracle when, where, and how we demand. If that were true, then who would be God? It's so refreshing and relaxing when you can just let God be God. I may not always understand God's ways, but I never have to doubt His love. God is love. Because He loves me, I can trust Him and simply ask for the miracle I need in my life. Philippians 4:6-7 says,
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
It's interesting that the Bible says, "requests" – not "demands". When we present our requests to God, we can have confidence in His love for us to respond. James 4:2 tells us:
"We have not because we ask not."
God knows what we need, but He longs for us to enter into a personal relationship with Him where we communicate our needs to Him. As He supplies those needs, we witness miracle after miracle of His grace and love.

Are Sunday Liquor Sales a Good Idea?
Things change so often and so fast these days that it can be hard to notice it since that change has become omnipresent constant. Basically, we never get a chance to catch our breath and take a hard look back at where we were.
Case in point – Sunday's. It wasn't that long ago that all but the largest US cities rolled up their sidewalks on Saturday nights and didn't open back up until Monday. Even when a few places were open on Sunday, it was under abbreviated hours like from around noon to six. Now it's odd for many businesses to be closed on Sunday. This now includes Sunday liquor sales in some states.
The first reaction I had to this was a positive one since on the surface, it looks like distilleries getting an additional 52 days for their product to be sold.
When I looked a little deeper, being able to sell on Sunday isn't exactly the same as liquor stores boosting sales by a seventh. Often times, being open on Sunday is a way for a business to lose money.
The Extra Day Doesn't Mean Extra Sales
How many of us or people we know (who aren't hardcore alcoholics) have REALLY ever needed to buy liquor on a Sunday? Sure, there have been those odd times like when New Year's falls on a Sunday or
Monday, and we forgot to pick up a special drink, but this isn't a common occurrence. If the liquor store is closed on Sunday, we either stock up on Saturday or wait until Monday. The actual customer demand for spirits only on Sunday is low to nonexistent. Hypothetically speaking anyway.
Hobby Lobby and Chick-fil-A are the two best-known businesses who are not open for business on Sundays. While the core reason for their locked doors on Sunday is mainly religious, experts also point to sound business reasons for why this decision works.
One is the concept of Sunday customers being the Saturday/Monday customers. I don't buy this for Chick-fil-A since people do get hungry on Sunday's, and aren't going to stock up on fast food the day before or put off eating for a day.
The other is that it gives everyone a much needed and guaranteed day off. It makes employees feel that the company cares about them and their family by giving them one guaranteed day that they can do stuff.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Will Keep Liquor Doors Open Sunday
Even though it could be proven that being open on Sunday would cost a liquor store money, most of them will choose to open up shop given a choice. There will always be that fear that they will be missing out on customers if they aren't open.
Businesses also tend to copy what their competition does, which leads to a circular logic form of group-think. They all make the decision to be open on Sunday because everyone else made the decision to be open. Even if they aren't afraid of losing out on a sale, a small business owner will probably be scared of a loyal customer finding the competition.
Maybe they have better prices, a better selection of malts, or just a more relaxed atmosphere. Either way, no business wants to lose a customer, so they'll open on Sunday if only to keep a customer from going somewhere else.

Lawsuit Funding in Slip and Fall Negligence Case
A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere, inside or outside. It could be at the mall, grocery store, restaurant, or even someone's home. It could be a sidewalk, parking lot, or city road. Wherever or however it takes place, slip and fall accidents can be very dangerous resulting in broken bones, brain injuries and paralysis. For victims who have filed a premise liability lawsuit, if finances are a concern, they may seek financial assistance in the form of pre-settlement funding.
Injuries from slip and fall cases can be as minor as a sprained ankle and as serious as a broken limb or brain injury. Many victims are unable to return to work for months if at all, and they may have either no medical insurance or coverage that is limited.
A Philadelphia woman has filed a premise liability lawsuit alleging she sustained bodily injuries after falling down the stairs of a city parking garage owned and maintained by Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and its affiliates. The suit claims the woman tripped over an uneven cement surface and suffered multiple injuries to her back and shoulder, as well as nerve damage because the medical center negligent and failed to inspect and maintain the premises in a safe condition for customers. The suit also claims that surgery would likely result in scarring and disfigurement. The woman seeks compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. Her husband claims loss of companionship and consortium.
"Slip and fall lawsuit funding might help this couple deal with the bills while waiting for a verdict or settlement," said Mark Bello. "The wheels of justice turn slowly, and it can often take more than a year for a slip and fall accident victim to receive compensation. In the meantime a non-recourse cash advance can help pay the bills and other expenses. Non-recourse means no risk to the victim; the funds are only repaid when the case settles. If the plaintiff does not win the case, the cash advance is completely waived.
If you are seeking slip and fall lawsuit funding with a fast approval process, contact Lawsuit Financial. Our online application takes less than five minutes. You can also give us a call to apply by phone. We do not require credit checks and employment is not important. Most importantly, you pay absolutely nothing until your case settles. Call Lawsuit Financial today for a free no obligation evaluation.

Hey Everyone,
Gayle here, fresh from the Snowy Mountains after an awesome trip with the guys at Mojo Snow (the guys that bring all you surfing legends Mojo Surf) to Perisher! You heard from Jordan last week about how some of our team got on with their weekend in the snow at Thredbo a few weeks ago … well the rest of the Ultimate Travel crew didn't want to miss out on all the fun and it was our turn the weekend after!
For the week before we went, the office was getting very excited about the huge amounts of snow that had been sent Perisher way (there's a great website that has lots of snow cams for you to see how much has fallen – download the app if you can)! Most of the group that went to Perisher this year had been before, but there were a couple, myself included, who had never been skiing or snowboarding, so the build up over the week really added to the excitement and anticipation!
Our trip started with a long journey from Sydney to Jindabyne. It takes about 6 hours to get there, if you're lucky with traffic, so make sure you've sorted out all your coach journey essentials (which we covered in a previous blog). Bear in mind that when they say it is 3 hours before we stop, they mean it! This includes toilet breaks! So don't overdo the liquids – it can be a very tense last 40 minutes to the next stopping point – and yes, I am talking from personal experience!
We got to where we were staying at about 1am and even though we knew it was an early start for breakfast and the coach to the mountains, that didn't stop us from messing about in the room. Luckily, we were far too excited in the morning to realise how tired we were! After a great buffet style breakfast, we find ourselves on the bus again and making our way to the mountain. It took a while to get there because the snow was so heavy and we had to stop to put the chains on the tyres, but the drive up to the mountains is so lovely!
Finally, we're on the mountain, and as soon as you pull up, you're off to get your gear and get started. I was booked on to a lesson with a couple others from our bus so we said goodbye to the rest of the group and shuffled off excitedly (and a little nervously) to the meeting point.
Our lesson was awesome! The instructor we had, Brody (great name dude!), managed to make falling over, cracking your head, tumbling down the mountain and such like, a hell of a lot of fun! He was really patient when people just didn't 'get' a particular part of the lesson. I discovered that I actually can't get up on my board if I'm facing down the mountain and he spent a lot of time helping me with that. I also struggled with them bloody T-bar lifts … no worries, Brody to the rescue!
Once our lesson was finished, it was lunch time, we went from where we were in Smiggin Holes to meet the rest of the group in Front Valley, where there's a food court style meeting area. Once refuelled, we headed out with our group for the afternoon …
That's when it got serious!
We snowboarded until we literally could not snowboard anymore! And I found that things I struggled with in the lesson, suddenly all came together. I still couldn't get up when facing down the mountain but I impressed myself with how quickly I progressed while going down the mountain backwards!
Be prepared to fall over though – a lot! I took more than my fair share of less than fun tumbles! And make sure you can laugh at yourself because it is inevitable that you will stack it every time you try and get off a chair lift (if you're new to it anyway!) There was always some young child waiting to have a good giggle at my expense at the top of the mountain as I squealed my way off the chair lift after they had just made it look so effortless. Luckily, although I did come away with a few bruises, my ego took the brunt of them! There were no serious injuries for our group at all! (If you, or anyone you're with does get hurt while on the mountain, remember these simple tips for first aid.)
At the end of the day, we headed back to our accommodation, which was basic but cosy at the same time. Dinner was included and we got to choose and cook our own steak before heading to the buffet to pile lots of yummy veg and salad options on to our plates. Then off we went to the pub. There was only one bar but it was a really nice one with great music and a couple of pool tables! Add to that all your new friends and you have a great recipe for a really fun evening. The Ultimate Travel crew represented in true Ultimate style… but I can't tell you about that! (What happens on the mountain and all that jazz …)
The second day was very much an 'eat, sleep, repeat' affair except for the amount of time we had on the snow. We understandably had to cut the day a bit shorter so that we could make our way back to Sydney. There were a couple of sore heads and many, many, many sore muscles! (Mainly mine!) Today, a few of us made our way to Blue Cow which is the highest run of them all. The temperature at the top was -4 degrees with a wind chill factor of -7 … a far cry from the weather that you'll find on your way down the East Coast!! Unfortunately, I didn't get to go down Blue Cow because strong wind meant that all the chairlifts were shut and I didn't want to get stuck down the mountain with nothing but the dreaded T-bar to get back up with … it would have been a long walk! But the other three who I went across with were all more experienced than me so they gave it a go …
I have to say, by the end of the second day, my whole body was screaming at me, I was tired and so so cold but I was already thinking about how soon I would be able to go back! We had so much fun with the Mojo crew and the rest of the group, from the moment we got on the bus to the moment we arrived back in Sydney. The guys from Mojo were energetic, entertaining and lovely the whole time!
I never thought I would have my first snow adventure in Australia – just goes to show, we really do have it all here!

The All Progrssives Congress (APC) at the weekend moved to prevent dissent by some of its leaders over the decision to adopt direct primary to pick its candidates for the 2019 elections.
Governors are believed to be opposed to the system, which allows all card-carrying members of the party to participate in picking candidates. They favour indirect primary, which is the delegates system.
Governors Simon Lalong (Plateau) and Yahaya Bello (Kogi), who briefed reporters after the party's National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday, said the party adopted direct primary to pick the presidential candidate and indirect primary for other offices.
They added that states that wished to use direct primary would write to the National Working Committee (NWC) for permission.
But the NWC on Friday said the correct decision at the NEC meeting was the adoption of direct primary for all offices with states which intended to use indirect system to seek the NWC's permission in writing, supported with evidence of support by stakeholders.
Yesterday, some state chairmen defied the warning by the national secrertariat to hold a meeting in opposition to the party's decision on direct primary.
The meeting, which was initially scheduled for the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja was moved to the Barcelona Hotel, a few meters from the party's secretariat.
The chairmen are believed to have bowed to pressure from their governors as they were said to be considering passing a vote of no confidence on the Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC.
Some governors seeking a second term are belived to be opposed to the direct primary option.
Before yesterday's meeting, it was learnt that the NWC reached out to the state chairmen through their coordinator, the Borno State Chairman of the APC, Ali Bukari Dalori to explain its position.
One of the chairmen who attended the meeting said the party wrote a letter to them on Saturday to clarify the issues. He did not disclose the content of the letter.
Another state chairman who spoke on the condition of anonymity confirmed that the state party leaders "will do everything possible to resist imposition of direct primary, including passing a vote of no confidence in the Comrade Oshiomhole-led NWC."
While refusing to be quoted, he told reporters that the meeting was essentially to protest "the highhandedness of the party leadership and its insistence on direct primaries".
Apart from state chairmen who attended the meeting, one of the national vice chairmen, two ex-officio members and some national officers, were seen coming out of the venue.
"Majority of the state chairmen are here and those that could not make it sent representatives. We are still talking and our resolutions will be made known to the public very soon but it won't be today (yesterday) because we are still consulting and meeting," one of the attendees said.
The party's national leadership earlier yesterday raised the alarm over the meeting which it said was an attempt to alter the party's decision on the mode of primary election.
An ex-officio member who also attended the meeting said the governors and some national officers were not happy with the direct primary option, adding that as leaders of the party in the states, they would do everything to protect their interest.
He said: "The state chairmen will do everything possible to resist the imposition of direct primaries on the party, including passing a vote of no-confidence on Oshiomhole and his NWC members."
In an attempt to truncate the meeting, the party's statement by Acting National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena said: "The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC has been drawn to an illegal meeting scheduled to hold on Sunday at Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja by some members of our Party organs, with a view to fault the decisions made by the NWC followed by the National Executive Committee (NEC) as regards the mode of the Party's primary elections.
"We want to state clearly that the meeting which has been fixed for 2pm is illegal and an attempt to puncture the sincere efforts being made by the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole-led NWC to reposition our party ahead the 2019 General Elections and to ensure unity, equity and justice in the Party."
The statement said the outcome of such a meeting, which is already known, will be a nullity, adding that members should disregard such meetings in the interest of the Party.
It also said that it had identified those behind the meeting and would have them sanctioned, unless they retrace their steps.
"It is illegal to call such meetings outside the purview of the constituted authority.
"The identities of those plotting such meetings have been identified and unless they desist from such they will be dealt with in line with the Party's Constitution at the appropriate time.
"The NWC will resist any attempt to disrupt the current peace and harmony prevailing in our great Party after the exit of some members of our Party.
'We urge any member who is not satisfied with the decisions of the Party to utilise channels provided by the party's constitution to air their views.
*We remain focused in delivering good governance to Nigerians and above, all ensuring the victory for our party come 2019 and we will not be intimidated by the antics of a few in ensuring success for our party," it said.
Addressing journalists at his residence before the APC NEC meeting last week, National Vice Chairman (Northeast) Comrade Mustapha Salihu accused some leaders of the party from the Southwest to foster what he called "regional imperialism" on the party.
He said that apart from the fact that the system requires a lot of supervision, the electoral body was not prepared for the system. Saying "Before now, I didn't have any feelings that there was a possibility of conspiracy, but when I see people planting stories, I now begin to suspect.
"If one region feels that was what is best for them, I think they can canvass that at the regional level and they now give us reason why they need that I want to believe that in a democracy, the majority have their way and the minority have their say.
"So, they have the right to wish and if we decide to make it flexible, definately what they want will be given to them at their own various states, but one thing I want to assure you is that we will not succumb to regional imperialism so long as we are acting within the constitution."
