IND vs AUS 4th Test: Melbourne Cricket Ground's Record Attendance Breaks 87-Year-Old All-Time Record
Developers will have to show that their project either helps reduce the amount of non-recyclable waste going to landfill, or replaces an older, less efficient incinerator. The move forms part of the Government’s drive to increase recycling rates, which have held at about 45% of household waste since 2015. Environment minister Mary Creagh said: “For far too long, the nation has seen its recycling rates stagnate and relied on burning household waste, rather than supporting communities to keep resources in use for longer. “That ends today, with clear conditions for new energy from waste plants – they must be efficient and support net zero and our economic growth mission, before they can get the backing needed to be built.” Developers will also have to ensure their incinerators are ready for carbon capture technology, and demonstrate how the heat they produce can be used to help cut heating bills for households. The Government expects that its “crackdown” on new incinerators will mean only a limited number are built, while still reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and enabling the country to process the waste it produces. The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the country was almost at the point where it had enough waste facilities to handle non-recyclable rubbish, and so had limited need for new incinerators. But the proposals stop short of the plans included in the Conservatives’ 2024 manifesto, which committed to a complete ban on new incinerators due to their “impact on local communities” and declining demand as recycling increased.
The bandh was announced last week byKisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), which have been protesting at Shambhu and Khanauri border points since February 13. New Delhi: The Railways canceled 150 trains on Monday due to a Punjab bandh called by the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) on Saturday, December 30. The bandh was announced last week by both groups, which have been protesting at Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13. Their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces. Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, 67, has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border since November 26. He is demanding a legal guarantee for the minimum support price (MSP) from the Centre. Protesters plan to block rail tracks (rail roko) at several locations from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., disrupting both passenger and goods trains. What’s Open, What’s Closed? Farmer leader Pandher announced a complete bandh in state while assuring that emergency services will remain functional. Talking to media, he said that the call for a complete shutdown has received support from various groups, including traders, transporters, employees' unions, toll plaza workers, laborers, ex-servicemen, sarpanches, teachers' unions, and other social organisations. Pandher added that the bandh has also gained backing from common citizens. The SKM (Non-Political) and KMM held a meeting with transporters, employees, traders, and others at the Khanauri protest site on Thursday to rally support for the bandh. Over 200 Trains Affected, Including Vande Bharat and Shatabadi Rail services will face major disruptions during the Punjab bandh, affecting 221 trains, including high-end services like Vande Bharat and Shatabdi Express, The Indian Express reported. Key details: Two Vande Bharat Express trains between New Delhi and Vaishno Devi and one between New Delhi and Amb Andaura will be canceled. Another Vande Bharat Express running between Chandigarh and Ajmer will terminate or originate at Delhi Cantt. 163 trains were cancelled on Monday, including Shatabdi and Vande Bharat services operating between Delhi and Punjab. Three Shatabdi Express trains to Kalka, Chandigarh, and Amritsar are among the affected services. Passenger, express, and intercity trains in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Himachal Pradesh will also be hit. The railways also announced partial cancellations for seven trains, regulation of 14, rescheduling of 13, short-originating 15, and short-terminating 22 trains due to the ‘Rail Roko’ agitation called by various farmer organizations. Services are expected to return to normal after 4 p.m. Stay informed on all the latest news , real-time breaking news updates, and follow all the important headlines in india news and world News on Zee News.Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100
St. Bonaventure’s Noel Brown becoming center of attention as Bonnies move to 6-0Fox News host blatantly misgendered Rep.-elect (D-Del.) while interviewing anti-transgender crusader Rep. (R-S.C.) during Sunday’s episode of “Fox & Friends Weekend.” Campos-Duffy casually referred to McBride, a trans woman who will be the first openly trans member of Congress, as “he,” while Mace to promote her campaign to ban McBride and other trans women from using female restrooms on Capitol Hill. When Mace called her mission to block trans women from using the bathrooms a “winning” political message, Campos-Duffy noted that “that trans member of Congress has said that he will actually abide by the rules and not use the women’s restroom in Congress.” Doubling down on the bigotry moments later, Campos-Duffy took aim at , President Joe Biden’s assistant secretary of health. Levine, also a trans woman, is the first openly trans federal official in the United States’ history. “I’ve seen Rachel Levine. I know that’s not a woman, so I don’t understand this idea,” the Fox News anchor proclaimed as Mace nodded in agreement. "I know that's not a woman" -- Nancy Mace is on Fox & Friends and the person interviewing her is referring to Sarah McBride and other trans women as "he." Mace agrees. These people do not think trans people exist. — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) This past Monday, Mace to prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Asked if she was with the proposed rule while speaking to reporters on Tuesday, the South Carolina congresswoman said, “Yes and absolutely, and then some.” “I’m absolutely 100% going to stand in the way of any man who wants to be in a women’s restroom, in our locker rooms, in our changing rooms,” she added. “I will be there fighting you every step of the way.” Since Mace began her battle to exclude trans women from Congress’ women’s bathrooms, McBride has tried to stay above the fray. In a , formerly called Twitter, she said, “Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully, I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness.” McBride called the controversy an “attempt to distract” Americans from real issues “Every single time we hear them say the word ‘trans,’ look what they’re doing with their right hand,” she said. “Look at what they’re doing to pick the pocket of American workers, to fleece seniors by privatizing Social Security and Medicare.” Related...
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Austin Seibert missed his second extra point of the game with 21 seconds left after Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin connected on an 86-yard touchdown, Juanyeh Thomas returned the ensuing onside kick attempt for a touchdown and the Dallas Cowboys pulled out a 34-26 victory Sunday that extended the Washington Commanders’ skid to three games. Seibert, who missed the previous two games with a right hip injury, was wide left on the point-after attempt following a low snap. Thomas then took the kick back 43 yards as the Cowboys (4-7) ended their losing streak at five in improbable fashion. Part of that was the play of backup Cooper Rush, who threw for 247 yards and two TDs in his third start in place of starter Dak Prescott. Part was also the defense forcing two turnovers, as Chauncey Golston ripped the ball out of Brian Robinson Jr.’s hands for what was called an interception of Daniels in the second quarter, and Donovan Wilson stripped John Bates midway through the fourth. KaVonte Turpin provided the fireworks with a spinning, 99-yard kickoff return TD seconds after Daniels found Zach Ertz in the end zone and scored on a 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to three with 3:02 left. In the final three minutes alone, the Commanders (7-5) scored 10 points and allowed Thomas’ TD. All that after the score was 10-9 through three quarters before madness ensued. CHIEFS 30, PANTHERS 27 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw for 269 yards and three touchdowns , Spencer Shrader kicked a 31-yard field goal as time expired and Kansas City beat Carolina to reach double-digit wins for the 10th straight season. Noah Gray caught two TD passes as the Chiefs (10-1) bounced back from last week’s 30-21 loss at Buffalo and won at the buzzer yet again in a season of narrow escapes. DeAndre Hopkins also had a touchdown catch for the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, who scored on their first five possessions. Bryce Young finished 21 of 35 for 262 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers (3-8), who had their two-game winning streak snapped. David Moore had six receptions for 80 yards and a touchdown. Trailing 27-19, Young completed a fourth-down pass to Adam Thielen to move the chains, then went deep for the veteran receiver, who drew a pass-interference penalty on Chamarri Conner. That set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Chuba Hubbard. LIONS 24, COLTS 6 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for two scores and David Montgomery added a third touchdown run, leading Detroit to a victory over Indianapolis. Gibbs finished with 21 carries for 90 yards as the Lions (10-1) extended their league-high winning streak to nine straight. Detroit has its been 11-game record since the franchise’s inaugural season in 1934. Jared Goff continued his sensational season, too, completing 26 of 36 throws for 269 yards. The Colts (5-7) lost their second straight home game and for the fourth time in their past five games. Anthony Richardson was 11 of 28 with 172 yards while rushing 10 times for 61 yards. While Indy managed to hold the NFL’s highest-scoring offense largely in check Sunday, it was doomed by its inability to finish drives with touchdowns. BUCCANEERS 30, GIANTS 7 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Baker Mayfield catapulted into the end zone on a spectacular 10-yard scramble for one of Tampa Bay’s four rushing touchdowns, and the Buccaneers beat the Giants and new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito, snapping a four-game losing streak and extending New York’s skid to six. The Giants’ decisions this week to bench and then release quarterback Daniel Jones did nothing to help the NFL’s lowest-scoring offense. DeVito threw for 189 yards, mostly in the second half with New York well on its way to its sixth straight loss at home, where it is winless. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers dominated in every phase in a near-perfect perfect performance that featured TD runs of 1 yard by Sean Tucker, 6 yards by Bucky Irving and 1 yard by Rachaad White. After recent losses to the Ravens, 49ers and Chiefs, Tampa Bay (5-6) moved within one game of idle Atlanta in the NFC South. Tampa Bay scored on five of its on first six possessions to open a 30-0 lead, and none was more exciting than Mayfield’s TD run with 12 seconds left in the first half. On a second-and-goal from the 10, he avoided pressure and went for the end zone. He was hit by Cor’Dale Flott low and Dru Phillips high around the 2-yard line, and he was airborne when he crossed the goal line. The ball came loose when he hit the turf but he jumped up and flexed — seemingly mocking DeVito’s go-to celebration — as the Bucs took a 23-0 lead. DOLPHINS 34, PATRIOTS 15 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and four touchdowns, including two scores to running back De’Von Achane, and Miami routed New England. The Dolphins (5-6) have a thin margin for error the rest of the season but have kept themselves afloat with a three-game winning streak. With their win at New England (3-9) in Week 5, the Dolphins have swept their division rivals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. Tagovailoa, who moved to 7-0 in his career against New England, entered the game with a league-high 73.4% completion rate and went 29 for 40. Backup Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa with about 11 minutes left in what was already a blowout, but a bad handoff on his first play resulted in a fumble that was recovered by cornerback Christian Gonzalez and returned 63 yards for a touchdown. It cut New England’s deficit to 31-15, and Tagovailoa returned the next drive. TITANS 32, TEXANS 27 HOUSTON (AP) — Will Levis threw for 278 yards and his 70-yard touchdown pass to Chig Okonkwo put Tennessee on top in the fourth quarter and the Titans held on for a win over the Texans. Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled for the touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 91⁄2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. The Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. Titans coach Brian Callahan held both hands in the air and smiled after watching the miss that allowed his team to win on a day it had three turnovers. The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked C.J. Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. VIKINGS 30, BEARS 27, OT CHICAGO (AP) — Sam Darnold threw for 90 of his 330 yards in overtime to set up Parker Romo’s game-ending 29-yard field goal , and Minnesota outlasted Chicago after giving up 11 points in the final 22 seconds of regulation. Darnold threw two touchdown passes, Jordan Addison caught eight passes for a career-high 162 yards and a touchdown, and T.J. Hockenson had 114 yards receiving for the Vikings (9-2), who remained one game behind Detroit in the rugged NFC North. Caleb Williams threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (4-7), who lost their fifth straight. Minnesota appeared to have the game in hand, leading 27-16 with 1:56 left after Romo kicked a 26-yard field goal. But the Bears weren’t finished. Deandre Carter made up for a muffed punt that led to a touchdown in the third quarter with a 55-yard kickoff return to the 40. Williams took it from there, capping an eight-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Keenan Allen. A 2-point conversion pass to DJ Moore made it 27-24 with 22 seconds remaining. The Bears recovered the onside kick and Williams hit Moore over the middle for a 27-yard gain to the 30 before spiking the ball. Cairo Santos made a 48-yard field goal as time expired.While the rest of the Notre Dame community figures out whether it's worth paying four figures for a ticket to the College Football Playoff first-round home game against Indiana, the men's basketball team continues to figure out how to survive without Markus Burton. Notre Dame (5-5) hosts its next-to-last nonconference game Wednesday night against Dartmouth (4-4), which plays its sixth contest of a seven-game road trip. The Fighting Irish took a promising step -- and snapped a five-game losing streak -- on Saturday by edging Syracuse 69-64 in their ACC opener. "We needed to be in a close game and we needed to win a close game so our guys can build some belief back," head coach Micah Shrewsberry said. "We can't take any steps back on Wednesday." Without Burton -- the stat sheet-stuffing sophomore point guard who injured the medial collateral ligament in his knee Nov. 26 against Rutgers -- the Irish are struggling to find someone to run the offense, as evidenced by their seven assists versus 15 turnovers against Syracuse. At the same time, players are filling the scoring void. Braeden Shrewsberry poured in a career-high-tying 25 points versus the Orange while hitting 6 of 11 3-point attempts. Tae Davis averaged 12.4 points and 7.2 shots per game when Burton was healthy, but he has upped his mean production to 16.6 points and 12.2 shots in the past five games. Micah Shrewsberry, though, prefers to measure progress on a possession-by-possession basis. "Just the toughness," he said. "There have been times when we haven't gotten the key stop. We haven't gotten the bucket when we quite need it. It gets deflating sometimes." Dartmouth knows that feeling. On Sunday, the Big Green took a one-point lead with 4:03 left in overtime at UIC -- and then failed to score on their final six possessions to suffer a 69-68 loss. The Big Green, who haven't posted a winning season since 1998-99, believe whole-heartedly in launching 3-pointers as they take 48 percent of their shots from behind the arc. Senior Cade Haskins (13.6 ppg) has hit a team-high 28 of 68 3-pointers this season, though fellow senior Ryan Cornish stacks up as the team's top scorer (14.3 ppg), passer (3.0 assists per game) and defender (2.3 steals per game). In its only previous game against a power-conference opponent, Dartmouth upset Boston College 88-83 on Nov. 29. --Field Level Media
Michele Horne doesn’t want to have the same conversation next year. The past two years, Concord police have asked for retention bonuses for current sworn officers, pitched as a stopgap measure necessary to keep an already slim staff. To Horne, the request ceases to be temporary when it becomes an annual ask. “It’s not stopgap if we’re doing it year after year,” said Horne during a meeting Monday night. “If we’re going to do it year after year we need to be transparent and simply build it into the budget.” Despite concerns about long-term solutions and requests for a report on spending and staffing, Concord City Council approved $405,000 in retention bonuses for officers. Adding in last year’s allocation, the department has received nearly $1 million on top of its $15.9 million budget, for this purpose. In part, it’s worked, according to Police Chief Bradley Osgood. This year, the department lost eight officers compared to 19 departures in 2023. Five left while two officers retired, and one left on disability. Vacancies, new officers in training, and injuries leave the department lacking 21 percent of its sworn staff, according to a report from Deputy Police Chief Steven Smagula. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess “There are very few qualified police applicants to hire and our current police officers are being heavily recruited by several law enforcement organizations across the state and region” he wrote. The addition of two new police officer positions in 2022, when vacancies were already prominent in the department, made it more difficult to reach full staff. Retention and recruitment should warrant a larger conversation, at-large Councilor Nathan Fennessy said. “We need to think about whether there are other things we can do besides throwing money at the issue,” he said. To Judith Kurtz, also an at-large councilor, that conversation starts by better understanding the challenges of the department. Last month, the police department gave a presentation to the city council on the new social worker position added earlier this year. Kurtz would like to see a similar explanation for the retention funding. “The stopgap financial measure will be necessary in perpetuity if we don’t get creative about how to handle the challenges to our staff,” she said. “I think that data is being collected, I would like to be aware of it and understand what’s happening as things move forward.” The police and fire departments will present to the full council in March or April regarding budgets, according to at-large Councilor Amanda Grady Sexton, who chairs the public safety advisory board. Information about retention bonuses will be included in the presentation, she said. However, this is not the first time council members have requested more information on the retention bonuses program. Last year, when the initial half million was awarded, then-Councilor Zandra Rice Hawkins asked for a six-month report. Her motion, which would have required the department to outline the types of service calls and recommendations for staffing solutions, failed. “This is not a problem that we are going to be able to outbid ourselves in the long run, so I think we would do best for the public safety and Concord to start to have those conversations now,” she said then. Members of Concord’s Fire Department, who said they were representing themselves, also spoke out in favor of the move Alan Robidas, a battalion chief, described the importance of the relationship between police and fire. “We know that we can rely on them and likewise they can rely on us,” he said. In his 23 years working for the city, though, he’s never seen so many officers cycle through the department, he said. While Robidas spoke, fellow firefighters held up signs in the front row of the council chambers. Unionized Concord firefighters have been without a contract since July 1, after the previous three-year collective bargaining agreement expired on June 30. “I have seen my fair share of police officers come and go but I don’t feel there’s ever been a time where I so frequently respond to an incident and the patrolman looking back at me is a stranger or an officer that I know who says they are working another double,” he said. “I can’t begin to tell you what a morale killer it is.”

In a lengthy speech at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C. think tank, on Tuesday, President Joe Biden forcefully defended his economic legacy and harshly criticized his successor. “Most economists agree the new administration is going to inherit a fairly strong economy, at least at the moment, an economy going through fundamental transformation,” Biden said. “It is my profound hope that the new administration will preserve and build on this progress. Like most great economic developments, this one is neither red nor blue, and America's progress is everyone's progress.” RELATED STORY | What impacts will a Trump presidency have on the economy? The president pointed specifically to record job growth during his tenure and an historically-low unemployment rate, as well as solid GDP performance, major investments in infrastructure and a soaring stock market. Most economists agree Biden’s term in office has coincided with a strong jobs market, and note the economic forecast remains bright – especially when contrasted to that of other peer nations, many of which have struggled to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. And yet, Americans by and large disapprove of Biden’s economic tenure, particularly the high costs of goods and services. Though inflation has fallen some, it remains higher than when the president took office and has become a frequent point of attack for Republicans critical of the Biden administration. RELATED STORY | Wealthier Americans are driving retail spending and powering US economy President-elect Donald Trump’s victory last month served in some was as a repudiation of the president’s so-called “Bidenomics” policies, with most voters telling pollsters they were dissatisfied with the state of the U.S. economy and Biden’s handling of the issue. Since Trump’s election, attitudes towards the economy have improved slightly, particularly among Republicans; according to research from Gallup, just eight percent of Republicans in October viewed economic conditions as getting better, compared to 30% last month. Biden himself seemed to acknowledge some missteps in selling his economic vision to Americans. “I also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said. “He signed checks for people for $7,400 bucks,” the president noted of the pandemic-era relief measures. Even though Biden approved similar relief efforts during his term, his name never appeared on American’s checks. “I didn't – stupid,” Biden conceded. RELATED STORY | Powell says Fed will likely cut rates cautiously given persistent inflation pressures Seeking to bolster Biden’s economic legacy, the White House on Tuesday launched a new website hailing the “Biden Economy,” featuring statistics about economic performance during his term and complimentary videos from his supporters. Biden’s speach, meanwhile, also served as a warning of sorts to his successor, with the president arguing against tax cuts for the wealthy and the notion that such benefits would “trickle down” to middle class Americans. “You can make as much money as you can, good for you, but everybody's got to be they pay their fair share,” Biden said. Trump has pledged to extend the tax cuts he signed into law in 2017, telling NBC News he intends to submit a tax package to Congress within his first 100 days in office. “They’re coming due and they’re very substantial for people,” Trump said of his 2017 cuts. “That’s what led us to one of the greatest economies ever.” RELATED STORY | Amid corporate layoffs, 36% of workforce turns to gig economy for alternative employment A report by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office in December found that failing to extend those tax incentives would have a negligible impact on the economy, though Republicans are expected to pursue them and other business tax breaks after they retake both chambers of Congress next year. Trump has also promised to impose significant tariffs on the import of foreign goods from Mexico, Canada and China – despite economists’ and retailers’ warnings that will drive up consumer prices. Trump in the NBC interview said he couldn’t guarantee the move wouldn’t increase consumer costs, something Biden harshly refuted. “I believe we've proven that approach is a mistake over the past four years,” Biden said. “But we all know in time, we all know in time what will happen.”A leading surgeon left feeling “exhausted and burdened” after working tirelessly for 70 hours per week has revealed the “revolutionary” tool that has changed his life. Dr. Michael Ewing shared a video on LinkedIn earlier this week, detailing how the product has not only given him back precious time with his family and children – but also saved patients’ lives . Like many doctors, the 36-year-old dad spent his residency overworked, l ogging hundreds of hours . Much of Dr Ewing’s workload was actually down to endless charting, rather than focusing on his true passion: patient care. McDonald's fans share secret hack for making famous chicken nuggets extra crispy Home chef shares 'flu bomb' recipe that 'gets rid of illness in just three days' He longed to find a solution to have the capacity to be more present and now, he’s found it, through a “game-changing” tool called SurgeOn Scribe , launching today (10 December). Using AI technology, the feature automates the clinical documentation process – cutting down on mistakes, saving time and also whittling out the likelihood of any legal problems. “Doctors want to help people – that’s why we chose this path – but we are forced to spend so much time charting, when all we really want to do is to talk and listen to our patients,” said Dr Ewing. “I see about 50-60 patients a week and I have to remember small details, regardless of the situation," he said. “But doctors are only human – there’s a lot of mental stress and a lot of time that’s wasted by trying to recount visits. “On top of that, we are constantly being pulled in multiple directions and there’s always another emergency going on." He added “I save at least an hour a day in the clinic now and I can’t tell you how valuable it is for my mental capacity. Not only that, but I now spend 95% of patient visits listening to what patients are saying rather than making mental notes or being distracted by the demands of charting." “Reviewing my own experience, I calculated that saving time on chart notes could allow surgeons to see up to an additional seven people per day in a half-day clinic," he claimed. “This AI tool will save patient’s lives.” Growing up, Dr. Ewing, who is originally from Dallas, Texas, actually wanted to be a professional guitar player. He was working in an ER while studying music at the Dallas Baptist University, when he became fascinated by the medical profession – which led him to switch courses completely. The doctor said: “I had been working as a scribe to make extra money but didn’t expect to be so inspired by how physicians worked with their hands." “Surgery specifically has the ability to cure people in certain situations and this spoke to me," he said. "So I switched college tracts, which was not easy." “Surgical training is exhausting and surgical life as an attending is even more exhausting due to the constant demands of patients, continued Ewing. “It keeps you from your family and there is also a mental strain. “Now, with SurgeOn Scribe, I get home an hour earlier twice a week, allowing me to see my children more," he championed.“I can also take an extra day off every month, which is life-changing for my family." “Time is my most valuable asset and this tool gives it to me in droves.” With burnout becoming more common in the medical field, Dr.Ewing knew there must be a better way of working and found himself wanting to do something to help. His feelings were echoed by three other surgeons in the field; Dr Jeremy Heffner, Dr.Mario Leyba and Dr. Mark Soliman. The trio founded the app SurgeOn, with the aim of putting an end to the “isolation” felt universally among surgeons. It allows medical professionals to share cases and complexities of a job that most non-surgeons have a tough time relating to. But more needed to be done and that’s when Scribe was born. The new feature, which is found within the app and is launching today, hopes to provide a better patient experience. It allows users to transcribe medical notes either straight onto the computer or, if connectivity is low, onto an Apple Watch. Partnering with MedQuill, an AI-powered medical documentation platform that Dr Ewing helped create, this new product will help SurgeOn’s network of over 15,000 surgeons get their lives back. “For surgeons, our work-life balance is dictated by others more than people realize,” added Dr. Heffner, co-founder of SurgeOn. “Note writing and documentation has eaten up a significant portion of our lives. For the first time in years, we can truly connect with patients and have meaningful conversations with them." “I also have more time to be with my family, and maintain my own fitness levels and mental health," he added “As I age I have truly realised the value of time as a commodity, therefore having more time is priceless.” DAILY NEWSLETTER: Sign up here to get the latest news and updates from the Mirror US straight to your inbox with our FREE newsletter.
Regarding the baseless diatribe of John Bingham. In their effort to explain the losses in the recent election, Democrats continue to attack those who voted against them and fail to address the real reason. People are fed up with liberal policies and theory. They don't want open borders, defund Police, legalizing drugs, boys using girls' bathrooms, taxpayer-funded trans surgery for prison inmates, socialism, and a myriad of other "progressive" drivel. Those who voted Republican do indeed know good from evil and don't need to be told their vote means they don't by another arrogant self-righteous Democrat. I am 81 years old. I worked my way thru college, served as a medic in combat in Vietnam, had a 28-year career in law enforcement dealing primarily with murderers, rapists, child molesters, and narcotics. I think I know right from wrong despite your opinion. Biden did not make Americans proud of their country and FYI believing in democracy is NOT limited to Democrats as you infer. Get a clue!
