It's now even easier to get your hands on Schleich animal figures as they've now teamed up with George at Asda and a whole heap of fabulous figures are available including this rather ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex for short). Schleich is a long established global brand well known for its high quality, hand-painted figures so it's nice to see them making them more easily available by partnering with a George at Asda.
Approximately 30cm from snout (do T-Rex's have snouts?) to tail, this Schleich dinosaur is full of amazing detail. The jaw is hinged revealing a large textured tongue, a ridged roof of the mouth and of course ferocious teeth! The scaled skin is a wonderful mix of textures that reveal muscle tone, sags, creases and of course beautiful ornates ridges down the spine and on the face. And strong solid clawed feet keep the T-Rex beautifully balanced and solid. It's hard not to admire this stunning beast.
The Farm World (42385) set is just as good quality. All the animals are a lovely size and have a nice weight to them and inside 'farm panorama' packaging image can be pulled out and makes a great backdrop for displaying the animals and/or playing with.
Just like the T-Rex the detail is amazing. Schelich has managed to give the sheep and the cockerel amazing texture and colour. The feather detail is quite beautiful as is the chiselled face of the sheep
Donkey and cow are the same. Both have amazing detail (hair in the donkey's ear, veins in the cow's udder and underbelly) and expressions that really seem to capture the caracter of the animals.
The farm animals are also all solid on their feet (there's no wonky donkey going on here) and I love that the heads are turned slightly so that they feel like they're watching what's going on.
There are loads of Schleich Animal Figures toys now available on the George at Asda website including the Wildlife, Bayala & more Dinosaurs etc. – make sure you check it out!"
And if you fancy winning your own Schleich T-Rex pop over to my Facebook page as I have a competition over there.

We're blessed with great live music venues here in San Francisco, but sometimes, bars, ballrooms, clubs, and arenas get kinda monotonous. Here are five more exotic locations that would make awesome spaces to see a band, along with a few acts we think would fit right in.
This seems like a no-brainer. Great views, historic setting, inherent creepiness, lots of different spaces for bands to set up and play. Hell, Alcatraz should host a festival -- or perhaps a rave. If only Johnny Cash was still around to inaugurate the place.
Acts that should play there: T.I., Merle Haggard, Delorean.
Magowan's Infinite Mirror Maze at Pier 39
is possibly the most psychedelic
place one can legally reach within the city limits. Black lights
set this labyrinth of mirrors a glow, making you completely lose track
of where you are and where you are trying to go. Plus, they let you stay
and trip out as
long as you want. Usually the maze blasts dance-y '80s new wave
through its ample sound system, but it'd be much more fun to have bands
set up in the middle of the maze, start playing, and let the crowd hunt
their way through the mirrors to catch the show.
Acts that should play there: Butterfly Bones, Deerhunter, Acid Mothers Temple, Terry Riley.
Lion House at S.F. Zoo (just before feeding time)
Send the first power chord chugging though this antiquated big-kitty enclosure as the huge
felines circle hungrily, eyeing the smaller members of the crowd. Imagine the tension as some meaty band blasts through a heavy set while the big cats fiend for raw flesh. Alcatraz shows will look tame after this.
Acts that should play there: Thee Oh Sees, Mayyors, Motorhead.
So the idea of playing on public
transit has sorta been
done, but few cities have quirky streetcars on the level of our
slow, squeaky, adorable F-Market line. Bands should get on at one end
-- I'd pick the Castro and Market stop--set up their gear near the front
of the train, and play a cross-city set to a small, elated crowd as the
streetcar squiggles down Market and up the Embarcadero. Think of it as a
live soundtrack for the bus/streetcar ride that many of us only survive
with earbuds. Another group could get on at Fisherman's Wharf and play
the return trip.
Acts that should play there: Deerhoof, Kelley Stoltz.

The newly elected pontiff traveled to Ireland and spoke profound words of peace that changed lives.
Bombings, murders and continued violence rocked the nation.
Then John Paul II was elected pope on October 22, 1978, and chose, for his third apostolic visit, Dublin. He came September 29 – October 1, 1979, marking the first time a pope visited Ireland in its entire history.
It proved to be a monumental moment for Ireland and was timed perfectly. About one third of the entire population turned out to see John Paul II and he sowed words of peace that eventually bore much fruit. John Paul II spoke powerfully to the Irish people, exhorting them to end the violence.
Now I wish to speak to all men and women engaged in violence. I appeal to you, in language of passionate pleading. On my knees I beg you to turn away from the paths of violence and to return to the ways of peace. You may claim to seek justice. I too believe in justice and seek justice. But violence only delays the day of justice. Violence destroys the work of justice. Further violence in Ireland will only drag down to ruin the land you claim to love and the values you claim to cherish. In the name of God I beg you: return to Christ, who died so that men might live in forgiveness and peace. He is waiting for you, longing for each one of you to come to him so that he may say to each of you: your sins are forgiven; go in peace.
According to Carl Anderson, executive producer of a new documentary, John Paul II in Ireland: A Plea for Peace, "When John Paul II arrived in Ireland, he confronted a giant tree of hate and terrorism that had been growing for a very long time. At Drogheda, he took an ax and cut at its roots. It would take some time for this poisonous tree to begin to wither, but eventually it would."
Anderson worked with Emmy award-winning filmmaker David Naglieri to recount the peace process in Ireland, highlighting the vital role John Paul II played in it. The documentary is narrated by Jim Caviezel (The Passion of Christ, The Count of Monte Cristo), with original music by composer Joe Kraemer (Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Jack Reacher).
One of the most moving moments during John Paul II's visit was his simple words to the Irish youth: "Young people of Ireland, I love you." He received a standing ovation and could barely finish his talk.
While the conflict did not end for a few more decades, shortly after John Paul II's visit talks began to work towards peace. His words touched the Irish people and the seeds of peace he sowed, bore fruit.
Pope Francis will become the second pope to visit Ireland when he visits the World Meeting of Families in Dublin. The theme of his visit will focus on the family, lifting it up as a great treasure to protect in society.

The Smithsonian National Museum of American History is interested in obtaining drawings done by migrant children in U.S. custody.
CNN reported the museum reached out to the news outlet and to the American Academy of Pediatrics with an inquiry into the drawings. The drawings come from three children at a Catholic respite center in McAllen, Texas and show some of the experiences at detention facilities, the New York Times reported.
The drawings were sent to news outlets last week from the American Academy of Pediatrics. An AAP staff member took pictures of the three drawings in June while visiting government facilities near the U.S.-Mexico border.
The drawings show frowning stick figures behind bars, in cages and on the floor under blankets. One shows other figures outside a cage wearing hats. Another shows no people, just a couple of toilets in a corner behind bars.
In a statement to CNN, the Smithsonian said, "The museum has a long commitment to telling the complex and complicated history of the United States and to documenting that history as it unfolds."
The museum also said it "does not publicize nor speculate on potential collecting prior to formally accessioning artifacts."
When the photos were released last week, incoming AAP President Dr. Sara Goza described what she and others experienced while touring the Customs and Border Protection facilities.
"When they opened the door, the first thing that...hit us was a smell," Goza told CBS News. "It was the smell of sweat, urine and feces. And I heard crinkling to my left and I looked over there and it was a sea of silver...there were young children, boys in there. Unaccompanied boys in there."
Goza said she saw a room full of silent children, describing the rooms "almost like dog cages with people in each of them."
The respite center houses can hold 500 to 800 migrants who were recently released from Customs and Border Protection, CNN reported.
Previous: DHS official defends conditions at Border Patrol stations
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan defended conditions at U.S. Border Patrol stations, saying "it's an extraordinarily challenging situation."
The responses from DHS and President Donald Trump came after reports of crowded and unsanitary conditions that have increased debates about current immigration policy.
Trump tweeted Sunday, defending his administration's response and accusing the news media of "phony and exaggerated accounts" but without giving evidence.

I started using HylEquine Joint Solution August 2014 on Showtime for Gun. Showtime had been "out to pasture" for 18 months due to a change in ownership and we brought him back into vigorous training for the latter part of the 2014 show season. I put him on the product during this time and he showed no signs of soreness and performed beautifully, winning the Level 3 and 4 Michigan Reining Derby and then was named Reserve Champion Novice Reining Horse at the All American Quarter Horse Congress. I believe this product helped the horse attain the condition needed to achieve at this high level without any joint injections. I recommend this product and plan on its continued use in my program.

A Role for YouTube in Telerehabilitation
YouTube is a free video sharing website that allows users to post and view videos. Although there are definite limitations in the applicability of this website to telerehabilitation, there are possible uses that should not be overlooked. Certain types of therapy, such as errorless learning therapy for certain language and cognitive deficits can be provided remotely via YouTube. In addition, negative emotional reactions to deficits are known to delay or halt recovery. The social networking capability YouTube provides enables individuals with health problems that may be unable to leave their houses an opportunity to gain valuable emotional support by meeting and communicating with others with similar problems. This article address the benefits and limitations of YouTube in the context of telerehabilitation and reports patient feedback on errorless learning therapy for aphasia delivered via videos posted on YouTube.

Double Fudge Cake
This cake is a copycat version of Cracker Barrel's famous recipe. I love a good pop cake (or soda or coke as some folks refer to it) and this one doesn't disappoint. The fun thing about this cake is that it is made entirely on the stovetop! Just grab a saucepan and you are well on your way to a delicious chocolate cake with a dreamy chocolate frosting! Have your own homemade buttermilk on hand!
Chocolate Pecan Frosting
Oh my word I can't say enough good things about the flavor and texture of this amazing frosting! Again, we are back to the stovetop to prepare this delectable creation. Start with
- butter
- heavy cream
- cocoa
and let it come to a boil. Then add the vanilla, chopped pecans, and confectioner's sugar. There is a lot of sugar, so I switched from a whisk to a spatula at this point. Stir until everything is incorporated and then pour over the hot cake. The frosting soaks into the cake beautifully! I usually let the frosting settle and cool for at least an hour before serving, but if you are daring you could certainly dive right in! It will be an ooey gooey mess, which is my favorite kind.
(I think even Brad's wife likes this cake!)

Sprint Nextel has rejected a $5 billion investment by a group including former chairman Tim Donahue, South Korea's SK Telecom and Providence Equity Partners, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
The offer, submitted before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday last Thursday, was in the form of convertible-preferred securities that could be converted into equity for 20 percent more than Sprint's current stock price, said the source, who did not want to be identified. The source said the offer was not meant to be hostile.
A spokesman for SK Telecom, South Korea's top mobile operator with a 52 percent market share, confirmed on Friday it approached Sprint in mid-November with several cooperation options but hadn't heard back from the U.S. company.
Sprint, whose market value is around $43 billion, declined to comment, while Donahue and Providence could not immediately be reached.
SK Telecom is seeking to expand in the United States and said earlier this month it was boosting its investment in Helio, a high-end wireless venture with EarthLink that rents space on Sprint's network.
Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. mobile service, has lost market share to rivals such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless, and is looking for a new chief executive to replace Gary Forsee who stepped down last month.
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported on its Web site that the investor group had also sought to install Donahue as CEO.
"We have a search process in place," said Sprint spokeswoman Leigh Horner, who declined to comment further. Sprint shares closed up nearly 3 percent at $15.20 on the New York Stock Exchange, and rose another 6 cents in after-hours trade. Shares in SK Telecom, with a market value of about $22 billion, rose 0.41 percent to 247,500 won at 0510, trailing the KOSPI's 1.83 percent rise.
Rumors have abounded about the potential for a bid for Sprint as its shares languish due to subscriber losses despite some analysts rating takeover prospects as low because of its large market capitalization.
Several analysts said the rejected offer would not have solved Sprint's troubles.
"Sprint is suffering from a lot of problems, but I do not think they're facing a liquidity crunch," said Stanford Group analyst Michael Nelson. Still, "there are large investors willing to make a major investment in Sprint and ... believe there is significant value in Sprint at current levels," Nelson said.
Sprint should focus on improving its operations rather than on a buyout, Fitch analyst Bill Densmore added.
Improvements, CEO Needed
Sprint has lost subscribers amid service problems, U.S. economic weakness and problems integrating its 2005 purchase of Nextel Communications -- seen by some as a failure. Donahue was CEO of Nextel at the time of the $35 billion deal.
Besides SK Telecom, investors have also speculated that Britain's BT Group Plc (BT.L) may be interested.
Providence, which has a history of investing in telecom companies and has taken part in some of the largest leveraged buyouts in the past two years, could be looking for smaller deals amid the current credit crunch.
SK's wireless network runs on the same technology Sprint uses and has seen success in providing cutting edge data services. The companies could also share knowledge about WiMax, an emerging technology they are both working with.
A stake in Sprint would give SK an opportunity to showcase its technological strength, said Jin Chang-hwan, an analyst at Goodmorning Shinhan Securities in Seoul.
While some analysts say Donahue's past with the company could make him a bad CEO candidate, Stifel Nicolaus's Chris King was surprised Sprint did not appear to be considering the executive, who was popular at Nextel and has allies on the board.
"Unless an imminent announcement of a new CEO is forthcoming, (the investment offer) suggests they're having a difficult time filling the position," he said.
Earlier in November, Sprint reported a 77 percent drop in third-quarter net profit to $64 million, or 2 cents per share, as it lost 60,000 subscribers. It also withdrew its 2008 profit growth forecast, dampening any hopes for a near-term recovery.

The biting surfaces of our molars or back teeth are ideal places for decay-causing particles. This is because they have grooves and depressions in them which can trap food particles and bacteria. Your toothbrush and floss are often unable to reach these places, and this can lead to cavities and decay.
Sealants are an invisible, thin layer of plastic that is painted on to the grooves and depressions on the chewing surface of the back teeth to prevent decay. Sealants are commonly used on the permanent molars of children, but can also be used for adults who are at high risk of cavities. They are long-lasting and can protect your teeth for many years.
The application of sealants to the teeth is a quick, easy and painless process and can be done in a single sitting. Before a sealant is applied, an etching gel is placed on the teeth to roughen up the surface which allows the sealant to bond nicely. The etching solution is then washed off, the tooth is dried again, and the sealant material is painted on the teeth. The procedure is complete once the sealant dries and we have checked your teeth.
It is important to brush and floss properly and take care of your oral hygiene after getting sealants on your teeth. It is also vital to visit our practice for regular examinations and professional cleanings, during which we will check your sealants for wear and tear and reapply them if needed.
For more information about dental sealants, please call our office at (925) 634-5353. We are located at 14850 Highway 4, Suite B, Discovery Bay, CA 94505.

Resources • Application Notes • Technical Comparison
SIFT-MS vs. GC/MS
Developed for GC-MS users, this document describes how selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) differs from gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) both in its technical features and its operational capabilities.
Developed for GC-MS users, this document describes how selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) differs from gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) both in its technical features and its operational capabilities. Both techniques analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but have different fundamental strengths, which means the techniques complement rather than replace each other.
SIFT-MS is a form of direct mass spectrometry that analyses whole air in real time with typical detection limits at parts-per-trillion level (by volume). Real-time analysis is achieved by using precisely controlled soft chemical ionization that does not require chromatography. These factors also allow long-term calibration stability, reduced maintenance, and easy configuration of SIFT-MS instruments. Consequently, SIFT-MS is an ideal tool for rapid screening and real-time monitoring applications, especially where users may have non-technical backgrounds.
Alternatively, GC-MS provides very good specificity, but relies on electron impact ionization and chromatographic separation. Therefore it is relatively slow, has high maintenance requirements, and must be operated by skilled personnel, when compared to SIFT-MS. As a result, GC-MS complements the fast screening capabilities of SIFT-MS with slow but very selective analysis.

601 Gold Label
Toro/ 6 × 50
These 601 Gold Label Toros are affordable and delicious! I was expecting an everyday mow the lawn cigar, but what I got in return was a beautifully rolled medium to full bodied cigar with roasted nuts, some earthiness, dark coffee, and sweet cream flavors. This was on the best cigar deals online, and I will definitely be purchasing more!

Her heart isn't for sale.
With her new boss hounding her at her old boys' club of a Madison Avenue marketing firm, Rachel has no time for a man in her life. Just finished school, she spends practically every waking hour at work to prove that she's as good as any guy at the job. Better, even.
He's not looking to buy.
Young and eligible bachelor CEO Neil has found there's one thing he can't get with all of his money, good looks, and charm: the right woman for him. One who wants him for more than just his bank account.
So when Rachel gives into her friends and attends a speed dating event, she just wants to shut them up so she can get on with her life. Neil's there, too. Incognito, of course.
They're each other's only match.
She has no intention of falling for him, in spite of how mysterious he is, in spite of his romantic dates, and definitely in spite of the way she feels when he lights her phone up.
He delights in the chase and in the seduction. But what about the truth of his identity? Because he knows it's only a matter of time before it comes to light.
Bestselling romance author Lucy Lambert (The Pretend Girlfriend, Insatiable) returns with a novel sure to please any reader who knows that true and unconditional love often finds you, especially if you don't even think you're looking for it.

A unique charging piece, the Yocan Evolve Charger utilizes both a USB connection and a 510 threaded couplings to provide you the ultimate Yocan Evolve Battery charging experience. The charging end where you connect the 510 threaded connection from the battery to the charger features a LED light indicator to tell you if the battery is still charging and once it's done.
The length of the charger is made short since the Evolve battery does not feature pass-through charging. The charger was designed to give very minimal reach to prevent you from turning the battery on when charging which saves you from busting your battery altogether.
The Yocan Evolve Battery was the first of many portable charging cables from Yocan. It gave way to high-quality chargers that can be used to be connected to your computer, to your wall socket via a wall adapter, through your trusty laptop or even to your car.
This unique and seemingly iconic design allowed portable vape pens like the Yocan Evolve to be capable of charging on-the-go.
It works as intended.

The show I watched was The Fades – a British made horror/thriller.
It's good to balance all the American shows out with some good old-fashioned British productions
The plot appears to be some kind of apocalyptic crossover. A young boy has visions and there is one big scary ass monster on the loose. It starts in some abandoned shopping centre where the monster is attacking people and there are zombies or dead people or something, which did kind of remind me of theMastrick Shopping Centre (if you're not from Aberdeen you won't get that but it made me chuckle).
I'm not sure if it was because I was watching alone, very late but it was quite scary at parts.
There was also a humorous element and it starred a good Scottish actor, Daniella Nardini, from the amazing show, This Life so that made it even better.
It looks like it is only one season so I will definitely watch this through to the end.
Have you watched it? Do you love it?
For more randomness take a look at my Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts…

Visit some amazing landscapes across the world, where the unique geographical features nurture an eco-system that is home to wildlife only found there. A growing awareness of responsible tourism has created these special destinations that have become sanctuaries for our precious and rapidly declining natural heritage.
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda
Tracking the critically endangered mountain gorilla in these forests is a once in a life time experience. There are only 900 animals left in the world. Highly social creatures, they roam in groups led by one silverback male with several females and their off-spring.
Also Read: Ten things you learn while travelling solo
Also Read: Mountains make me feel alive, says Diana Hayden
You are taken extremely close to a gorilla family and can spend time in their midst.
The forest is dense tropical, and machetes are used to clear the growth at times. At the park gate, groups of 8 tourists are formed and briefed by the designated guide. Then the trek starts with a guide and Uganda Wildlife Authority guards (who are armed in case rogue elephants come in from the Congo side). Average treks are for 2.5 hours and you get to spend about an hour with the gorilla group. The trek involves up and down walking with a bit of negotiating slippery tracks. Mountain trekking boots and poles are highly recommended. A light waterproof jacket and waterproof hat is also desirable.
Arctic Adventure
It's an experience of a lifetime, as well as a photographer's dream. Circumnavigate the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard in an ice-class vessel, reaching a point just 500 miles from the northern-most point of the earth, the North Pole. Sail through surreal landscapes of towering icebergs, floating ice sheets that go on forever, living and dying glaciers that stretch for miles. This is home to hundreds of thousands of nesting Pelagic birds, a variety of seals, walrus, whales, dolphins, reindeer, and of course, the star of the show – the polar bear. This Arctic bear likes staying on pack ice as this is where its food, seals, live as well. With global warming, the ice cover is shrinking, posing a significant threat to the bears which may lose a large part of their habitat.
While on your short expeditions from the ship, take in the colourful variety of flowers blooming on the slopes, with large numbers of Kittiwake and Brünnich's Guillemot nesting on the nearby cliffs. There is also a good chance of spotting Arctic Fox patrolling the base of the cliffs in case a chick falls from its nest, and bearded seal that swim in the fjords.
Although outside temperatures drop down to zero and cold winds start blowing, you will live in the comfort of a climate-controlled ship. But gear up every day to head out on small Zodiac boats to manoeuvre around icebergs and get closer to glaciers and wildlife. There are a variety of cruises you can book from May till October, with an average duration of eight to ten days.
Ladakh- Upper Himalayas
An absolutely unique ecology is found in the high-altitude cold desert of Ladakh. It offers a treat for wildlife lovers, although the climate and getting around is very challenging. The star of the show is the snow leopard, the elusive cat that blends magically into the white slopes. Specialised wildlife travel agencies have now honed down the experience, to an almost guaranteed viewing of the animal. One such on the high-end is the Snow Leopard Lodge at Ulley. For budget travellers, the Snow Leopard Conservancy Trust has helped locals set up homestays and guided treks across the Markha and Sham trekking routes.
Although the snow leopard is the apex predator in this zone, there is a wide variety of goat-antelopes unique to the high Himalayas. The blue sheep or bharal traverses the steep slopes with amazing balance and agility, coming down to drink at the Indus and climbing back to the safety of its high perch at dusk. Ibex and urial are other mammals with impressive ringed horns, and sometimes one catches males clashing horns at a sparring match. Spectacular birds of this region include the Tibetan partridge, golden eagle and lammergeier.
On the Kargil side of Ladakh there is another regal animal to be watched, the brown bear, which is the Indian counterpart of the grizzly. You can stay at a simple homestay in the village of Hulyal or Mushko (the expeditions are organised by Roots Ladakh). The snow-clad slopes very close to the LOC offer sightings of these enormous animals, foraging for food along with their frolicky cubs.
Peruvian Amazon Basin
More than half of Peru is covered by the dense tropical rainforests of the Amazon basin, that is home to the richest bio-diversity in the world. Exploring this region is an all new eco-tourism experience. Tapirs, sloths, jaguars, spider monkey and giant anteater are just some of the few species you will encounter; not to mention the colourful toucans, macaws and hummingbirds.
Most of the wildlife excursions start from Iquitos. Book yourself with a reputed eco-tourism company for day and night-time hikes, as well as boat trips. For stunning sceneries, walk cross hanging bridges or hike to viewing spots and floating platforms. You may also observe the local customs of the Bora, Yahua and Witoto ethnic communities for a totally immersive experience.
An alternate departure point is Cuzco city (also the base of the Inca trail), from where you fly to Puerto Maldonado. This is the entry point to the Tambopata National Park which straddles the river by the same name. Here you can see spectacular macaw congregations at the clay licks. A must-experience is the night safari to spot elusive kinkajous and caimans. The dry months of July and August are best to visit the Peruvian Amazon.

After messing with color balance and such in Photoshop, my wife hit upon a menu item that I had missed – 'Photo Filter…" under Image -> Adjustments. I think the following image is a little too warm, so I want to add some blue.
What's nice, aside from the different filters available, is that you can punch in whatever percentage you want. For this particular image, I think about 15% looks good.
And the resulting image is…
In addition to the cooling filter I used, there's also:
– Warming filters 85, LBA, & 81
– Cooling filters 80, LBB, & 82
– Red
– Orange
– Yellow
– Green
– Cyan

– Sepia (I'll have to come back and try this one Wink )

Pierre le Chef is… Out to Lunch - Game Boy
Pierre le Chef is… Out to Lunch - Game Boy
Pierre Le Chef is famed worldwide for his mouth-watering recipes involving the freshest ingredients. So, when the vegetables start attempting to run away from him, he has no choice but to chase after them.
Out to Lunch is a platform game set across 6 countries, starting off in Switzerland and finishing in Paris. To recollect the vegetables he must first stun them, either by firing at them or jumping on them, then walk over them, in a manner similar to Fire & Ice. Unusually, the game was converted from the SNES to the Amiga, not the other way around.

Amazon Transcribe Medical
Amazon Transcribe Medical is a machine learning service that makes it easy to quickly create accurate transcriptions from medical consultations between patients and physicians. With Transcribe Medical, the medical and pharmacological terms used in physician dictated notes, practitioner/patient consultations, and tele-medicine are automatically converted from speech to text for use in clinical documentation applications.
Accurate medical transcriptions are expensive, take too much time, or are disruptive to the patient experience. In many hospitals and clinics, physicians will use a recorder to dictate notes that are sent to a third party who manually transcribes the voice file, an expensive and time consuming process that takes multiple days to complete. Others choose to use human scribes, which can be distracting and uncomfortable for patients and clinicians. Some organizations have tried to use existing medical transcription software, but complex medical language can be difficult to transcribe, leading to inefficiency and poor accuracy that can cause serious consequences. Conversations between health care providers and patients provide the foundation of a patient's diagnosis and treatment plan, and is the start to any clinical documentation workflow. For example, a workflow can include the conversation between a physician and patient, entering the prescription into an electronic health record (EHR) system, and electronically sending the order to the pharmacy. It's critically important that this information is accurate.
Amazon Transcribe Medical uses machine learning to provide highly accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) for the medical industry. You can use Transcribe Medical to quickly and efficiently capture physician-patient conversations in text for later analysis using natural language processing or for entry into electronic health record (EHR) systems, because the service is trained to understand the terminology and style of clinical language. With Transcribe Medical, physicians are able to better focus on their patient and provide a more attentive experience instead of interrupting the conversation for note taking.
Transcribe Medical is HIPAA eligible and integrates easily with clinical documentation applications and any device with a microphone. This could include a mobile application that transcribes the entire conversation between physician and patient, or a software application on a computer that captures a dictation from a physician after the patient visit. Then, transcriptions can automatically be sent to a natural language processing service like Amazon Comprehend Medical. Comprehend Medical uses machine learning to extract relevant medical information from transcriptions, such as medical condition, medication, dosage, strength, and frequency. This information can be used for summarizing notes, clinical decision support, revenue cycle management (medical coding), and clinical trial management.
"Extreme accuracy in clinical documentation is critical to workflows and overall caregiver satisfaction. By leveraging Amazon Transcribe Medical's transcription API, Cerner is in initial development of a digital voice scribe that automatically listens to clinician-patient interactions and unobtrusively captures the dialogue in text form. From there, our solution will intelligently translate the concepts for entry into the codified component in the Cerner EHR system."
Jacob Geers
Solutions Strategist, Cerner Corporation
Use cases
Using Transcribe Medical, physicians can dictate their notes using a mobile device after the patient interaction. This gives physicians the ability to dictate medical notes quickly, instead of manual note-taking or waiting for third party services, reducing time and cost and improving the patient experience.
Conversational transcription
Healthcare and life science customers can build transcription applications that capture physician-patient conversations in real time, without disrupting the interaction. Transcripts can be used to gather insights like medication, dosage, strength, and frequency, before final entry into electronic health record (EHR) systems. You can use Comprehend Medical, a natural language processing service for medical text, to extract those insights.
Drug safety monitoring
Pharmaceutical companies can use Transcribe Medical to transcribe patient calls with physicians or physician calls with pharmaceutical companies, accurately capturing names of medicines and key terms that describe health side effects. With this information in text format, pharmaceutical companies can more efficiently analyze and detect drug-related safety issues, for example an unexpected side effect for a new medication.
Highly accurate
Transcribe Medical provides accurate real-time speech-to-text that's built for medical language using state of the art machine learning models. This means that a statement like "patient suffered a plantar fibroma" will be captured accurately. This cuts down on the time that physicians have to take and edit notes manually, reducing physician burnout that's typically caused by tedious hours of medical note taking.
Natural speech
Transcribe Medical supports conversations between multiple people or dictation from a single-speaker. It also provides auto-punctuation so that physicians can speak naturally, instead of explicitly speaking out punctuation marks. The transcription will also automatically include normalized numbers (e.g. 50 beats per minute instead of "fifty") and capitalization. Because Transcribe Medical captures natural conversations, the physician doesn't have to pause for notes, providing a more attentive and improved patient experience.
Lower medical documentation costs
Because Transcribe Medical reduces reliance on expensive human scribes and doesn't require licensing fees like other traditional transcription services, it reduces the overall cost of medical documentation. Clinical documentation applications using Transcribe Medical can be deployed at scale across thousands of medical centers, providing affordable, consistent, and accurate note taking for clinical staff and facilities no matter where they're located.

Deliberate misunderstandings and righteous piety seems to be the order of the day in Indonesia's poisoned and acrimonious political setting.
The latest flap involves a call to boycott travel site Traveloka and uninstall their mobile app following a walkout by detractors when newly installed Governor Anies Baswedan delivered the keynote speech at Canisius College's 90th anniversary on November 11.
The walkout was led by well-known composer Ananda Sukarlan who objected Anies's politicking methods to win the gubernatorial election. The walkout generated lots of publicity and social media chatter, and someone out of this mess spread information that one of Traveloka's founders, Derianto Kusuma, had walked out on Anies together with Sukarlan. Derianto had been slotted to receive a recognition award from the College.
From there things snowballed and soon a "movement" was formed where its supporters asked other netizens to uninstall the Traveloka app on their mobile phones as a sign of protest against Derianto's action.
The fact of the matter, however, was that Derianto, as explained by Traveloka in a press release, was unable to attend the event as he was traveling overseas. So he couldn't have joined the walkout.
The quick-of-thumb netizens, however, did not let facts get in their way of their righteous anger and even now the storm in a cyber teacup continues to rage with supporters pushing for a boycott (with the obligatory hashtag) and detractors trying to point out that the call has no basis in fact.
Our reading is that so long as Traveloka does not shoot itself in the foot by saying anything inappropriate, it should just hunker down and go about its business as usual. The naysayers will rage for a day or two and then turn their hate on other things. Such is the world we live in today in Indonesia.
If there is a silver lining amid all these dark clouds of negativity, however, is the amount of creativity it inleashes in the form of memes and witticisms (see below).
