  Imagine a place where the landscape is breathtaking with beauty. A place where you can see wild animals dotted against the horizon. A place with beautiful umbrella like trees scattered amongst your view. A place with some of the most diverse, yet strange wildlife you’ve ever seen. A place that has extraordinarily waterfalls and thick, luscious forests? What did you think of? Did you think of Africa? You can have all this and more with an African Safari.

  Africa is a place that you can see just about every type of environment possible. In Kanya, you will find a flat land savanna with umbrella acacias tree scattered everywhere. You can see what seems like forever into the distance. There are an abundance of animals in Kenya. You may have a chance to see giraffes, elephants, lions, birds, cape buffalo, hippos, and more. You can travel deep into the African forests of South Africa where you may have a rare chance to see the mysterious and elusive mountain gorilla. While you are in South Africa, you must see the Jane Goodall Institute in Johannesburg. Her institute is an amazing foundation dedicated to saving the chimpanzee and other endangered animals. You can take a river boat tour down the Kazinga channel in Uganda where you will see giant crocodiles and birds with amazing features. You may even see a rhino or elephant bathing in the near by waters. Ethiopia is a place of religion. The Ethiopians have been practicing Christianity for over 17 centuries, and can fill your heart and soul with a vast amount of knowledge.

As you can see Africa is filled with amazement and wonder. It is truly a beautiful country, one that should not be missed. ET African Journeys makes it easy for you to visit this glorious country. They offer safaris and tours to just about every place in Africa. Ethiopian Airlines has non-stop flights between both the Eastern coasts of the United States and Africa. In fact, you could get on a plane today and be there by tonight.

Larger doctor’s offices and hospitals use or employ medical transcribers to transfer their audio notes to paper for record keeping. These services can become quite expensive over time, depending on the skill of the transcriber. To keep costs down, many companies are Outsourcing Medical Transcription Services to contractors and even to other countries. Outside of the United States the hourly wages are a lot less and do not require a minimum wage, so companies are able to get more for less money. Money is the main motivator when it comes to outsourcing, but there are several other reasons.

• Costs are less when using a contractor or service outside of the country. This is because the wages and cost of living are less in third-world countries. These countries also do not have a requirement for a minimum wage like the United States does. The same applies for contractors, minimum wage laws do not apply. Using someone who is not in-house will also save costs for supplies and equipment, which would fall on the contractor to supply.
• Contractors and third-world workers often have faster turn-around. Contractors have a faster turn-around time than a traditional service, mainly due to having less work and more time to do the work. Workers in other countries tend to work hard and have fast turn-around times due to the low living standards and the poverty that is commonly seen. These workers want to have the work done fast in order to get paid and feed their families or pay bills.
• Outsourcing means that a company will not have to pay taxes for the worker or benefits. Paying workers outside of the country means the company will not have to pay taxes in the United States for that worker. They also do not have to pay for health insurance or benefits. Both of these costs can be quite expensive.
