Retaliation in Iraq: US Embassy stormed and set ablaze as tensions escalate

           ​​​​In a dramatic turn of events, a group of Iraqi protesters raided the US embassy compound in Baghdad on Tuesday Dec 31st. They broke through the main door and proceeded to set fire to the reception area. This action was fueled by the recent US military attacks on Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah, resulting in the deaths of 25 suspected terrorists. The attacks were carried out in response to the killing of an American contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base a week earlier.                         The protesters moved towards the heavily fortified Green Zone and continued their march until they reached the embassy.                     As they approached, the protesters were seen displaying yellow flags belonging to the Kataib Hezbollah on the wall...

The Case of Misdiagnosis Caused by Misheard Speech Recognition Software

When a new hospital speech recognition system mistakenly changed a word, a woman dealing with a yeast infection was falsely informed that she had cancer. Nicola Denyer, 39, went to an appointment at Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (QEQM) Hospital in Margate seeking treatment for her uncomfortable throat, only to be misdiagnosed. The error occurred when the new software misinterpreted the word "candida" (a common yeast infection) as cancer, leading to the mix-up. Her GP received a letter stating: "Flexible nasal endoscopy confirms presence of cancer at the base of the tongue, which can certainly account for this lady’s symptoms." Concerned by the letter, Mrs. Denyer’s partner, Paul Valentine, who had previously lost his wife to cancer, suspected...
