Nebraska hosted a number of high-quality prospects from around the Cornhusker State and her neighbors on Saturday, but it’s hard to say that anyone could’ve guessed that day one would’ve ended so well for the Big Red.
The Huskers secured commitment No. 24 for the 2014 class in defensive lineman Blake McClain, a recent Florida State decommitment thanks in no small part to defensive line coach Rick Kaczenski.
He’s been crucial in locking up a quartet of prospects including McClain for Nebraska’s front four, an area that grew razor thin thanks to graduation and the dismissal of Avery Moss.
Littleton, CO cornerback Eric Lee got his decision out of the way early by becoming the first commitment of the Huskers’ 2015 class.
Ranked as the No. 14 cornerback in the nation and No. 137 overall by the initial 2015 247Composite Index, Lee not only adds immediate star power to the next class, but addresses need at a position that will still demand new blood.
Nebraska received a second commitment for 2015 with the addition of New Orleans, LA athlete Kendall Bussey.
When asked about his commitment to the Cornhuskers, Bussey told Huskers Illustrated, “It feels very good. I mean walking through their facilities today and speaking with the coaches, I felt like this was the place. The best part was just the coaches, players and that Nebraska lifestyle.”
The fireworks may not be over for Husker fans this weekend. Bryan Munson of Big Red Report tweeted that visiting Baldwin City, KS offensive tackle Christian Gaylord texted him that a decision is coming soon.
Another prospect that could very well pull the trigger is Omaha, NE’s Michael Decker. Considering that he has a Nebraska offer in hand and is being wooed in the in-state school, it seems a given that he’d eventually verbally commit to the Big Red.

Today's design world is centered around originality and standing out. Breaking design rules and embracing imperfections is more important than ever to create a more authentic look. The rise of distressed fonts (typefaces designed with rough, worn edges and elements) bring in character and a unique visual appeal to our design projects. Let's explore the allure and versatility of distressed fonts, unveiling their hidden advantages that they bring into a design to transform it into something totally new.
The Art of the Distressed Font
With the vast majority of the digital world dominated by pristine sans-serif typefaces and sleek design aesthetics, distressed fonts emerge as a breath of fresh air, inviting us to embrace the beauty of imperfection. These fonts are purposely crafted to appear worn, weathered, or even damaged, giving them a distinct personality and an intriguing story to tell (perfect example: Deadmill, Wild West Serif). By simulating the effects of aging, distressing, or deterioration, designers can evoke a sense of history, nostalgia, and authenticity that resonates with viewers on a deep level. The messier, the better - as long as the letterforms in the typeface are still legible (yes, it's possible for the distressing to get out of hand).
The Versatility of Distressed Fonts
Distressed fonts are not limited to a specific design style or era. They possess a remarkable versatility that allows them to adapt to various creative contexts, from vintage and retro designs to grungy, urban aesthetics. Whether you're working on a poster for a music gig, revamping a classic album cover, or designing a rustic-themed wedding invitation, distressed fonts can add that perfect touch of character and visual interest. Any typeface style can benefit from a distressing effect - serif, sans-serif, wedge serif, you name it.
Redefining Time Periods With Distressed Overtones
One of the remarkable aspects of typefaces in general is their ability to capture the essence of time and evoke a bygone era. They effortlessly transport us to the roaring '20s, the rebellious '60s, or the gritty urban streets of the '90s by utilizing the popular styles of the day. By adding in a distressed effect to these era-specific typefaces, designers can now fuse that iconic time period design with a modern stylization.
Expressing Personality and Attitude
Distressed fonts possess a unique power to communicate personality and attitude. Their rough edges, uneven lines, and imperfect forms exude a sense of rebellion, authenticity, and non-conformity. When used in designs with the intention of capturing a specific mood or message, distressed fonts can amplify the impact and convey a raw, gritty aesthetic. From conveying a punk-rock spirit to evoking a vintage charm, these fonts add layers of meaning and depth to your design projects.
Tips for Using Distressed Fonts Effectively
While distressed fonts can be an excellent addition to your design toolkit, it's essential to use them thoughtfully and purposefully. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of these captivating typefaces:
Balance is Key: Pair distressed fonts with clean, minimalist elements to create a striking contrast and ensure readability. Here are a couple Parker Creative bundles that do exactly that!
Contextual Relevance: Consider the theme, mood, and message of your design project to choose a distressed font that aligns with its purpose.
Legibility Matters: While embracing imperfection, ensure that the distressed font remains legible and doesn't compromise the overall readability of your text. Expat, for example, utilizes a stroke around the outside edge of the letterform to prevent the distressing from cutting into the shape of the letter.
Experiment and Mix: Combine distressed fonts with other complementary typefaces to create visually engaging compositions that capture attention and maintain harmony.
Authenticity and Intention: Use distressed fonts with purpose and authenticity. Avoid the temptation to use them solely for aesthetic appeal; instead, let them enhance the storytelling aspect of your design. Deadmill, for example, is designed to look like it came from the wild west era, but with modern distressings.
Distressed fonts stand as a testament to the beauty found in imperfections. Their ability to evoke emotion, tell stories, and transport us through time makes them a valuable tool in the hands of designers seeking to create memorable and impactful visual experiences. Parker Creative has a large library of distressed typefaces to choose from!

This was a nice treat. I made a bag with the green with gold glitter vinyl. It weeded and pressed perfectly.
Great mystery pack. I’ll have loads of fun with it!
I got 2 different colors, one sparkly pink and one sparkly purple. Both were beautiful and I was excited to use them on a project. I finally found the design I wanted and cut them out. The pink one was super easy to weed. The backing paper wasn’t sticky so it was great. The purple one - the most difficult vinyl I’ve ever dealt with. The backing was super sticky and wouldn’t come off the vinyl. After i got it off, i pressed it. It wouldn’t stick in a few spots so i pressed it again. I think i pressed it 5 times. The pink one didn’t have any issues sticking when pressed. I’ll have to keep this bag instead of selling it like I had planned.

Computers and the Internet has lowered the cost of communication and the creation and distribution of information so much that many fundamental notions of organizations, economics and property have completely changed or require major upgrades. There is a new generation of youth across the globe which lead the charge into this changing world, modifying their basic behaviors to adapt to technology as it develops. Some businesses and artists have been able to keep up with these trends while other struggle and fail. The much slower to adapt legal system is being pushed to its limits with organizations on all sides of the issues trying very hard to adapt outdated laws. Most of the new behaviors and organizations creating value have a completely different notion property. Intellectual property, while key to the post-industrial revolution nature of the firm, is more of an encumbrance than an asset to the sharing oriented mode of creation now central to the Internet. This year, we will bring together the users, artists, businesses, policy makers and academics involved intentionally or beyond their control in this change to understand this new world and to try to adapt to it.

This month is National Road Victim Month, a time to remember those killed or seriously injured on our roads.
The immediate aftermath of a serious collision is, for all concerned, a time of shock. Others who have been in the vehicle but perhaps sustained lesser injuries and family members are attempting to process the information provided by the authorities that a loved one has passed or sustained life changing injuries. Any individuals who were at the collision scene will also have witnessed traumatic events. The Police have specialist Liaison Officers who will explain what is known regarding the collision at that time and the process of investigation to follow.

In addition to its main function as the location of several radio and television broadcasting stations, the building — internally known as "Fernmeldeturm 32" — serves as a viewing tower with observation deck including a bar at a height of metres, as well as a rotating restaurant.
Also, the Berlin TV Tower can be booked as a venue for events. The distinctive city landmark has undergone a radical, symbolic transformation: After German reunification, it changed from a politically charged, national symbol of the GDR into a citywide symbol of a reunited Berlin.
Due to its universal and timeless design, it has increasingly been used as a trademark and is identified worldwide with Berlin and Germany.
The tower has become one of the most prominent symbols of the country and is often in the establishing shot of films set in Berlin , alongside monuments such as the Brandenburg Gate , the Berlin Victory Column and the Reichstag building.
It is also one of the ten most popular attractions in Germany with more than 1,, visitors every year. The sphere is a visitor platform and a revolving restaurant in the middle of the sphere.
Two lifts transports visitors to the sphere of the tower within 40 seconds. There is also a stairway with steps.
Wheelchair users cannot visit the tower due to fire regulations. To mark the FIFA World Cup in Germany, for which the final match was played in the Berlin Olympic Stadium , the sphere was decorated as a football with magenta -coloured pentagons, reflecting the corporate colour of World Cup sponsor and owner of the Fernsehturm, Deutsche Telekom.
The structure is often erroneously described as being part of the Alexanderplatz that lies to the northeast. In addition to the Berlin U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines, several tram and bus lines stop at Alexanderplatz station, from which the middle exit leads to the entrance building of the TV Tower.
At the European Broadcasting Conference in Stockholm in , which was responsible for the coordination of frequency waves in Europe, the GDR — not recognised politically by most countries at the time — was allocated only two frequency channels.
Under these circumstances, it was impossible to cover Berlin's urban area by multiple small broadcasting stations without interference and thus disturbances or gaps in the broadcasting signals.
For comprehensive and continuous coverage, a powerful large broadcasting facility at the highest possible location was required.
In the s, this task was fulfilled in Berlin by the very weak makeshift stations of Deutscher Fernsehfunk East German broadcasting organisation.
The plans initially involved a location in the southeast of Berlin. However, the project was interrupted after construction had started, when it transpired that the site was only eight kilometres away from the Berlin Schönefeld Airport and the tower threatened to jeopardise flight operations due to its height and location at the edge of an airport corridor.
After various compromise solutions failed, the construction project was discontinued in In the following years, alternatives were sought and several sites were discussed, including in Berlin Friedrichshain , but these plans also fell victim to austerity measures triggered by the high costs of building the Berlin Wall.
In the next few years, the search for a new location was continued. Alongside its actual purpose of providing the best possible broadcasting services, the role of the tower as a new landmark of Berlin was increasingly gaining significance.
For this reason, in the government demanded that the tower be built at a central location, an appeal that was supported by the SED leadership.
Ultimately, the choice of location was a political decision. Walter Ulbricht , leader of the Socialist Unity Party which governed East Germany, decided to allow the construction of a television tower modelled on the Fernsehturm Stuttgart and the first artificial Earth satellite, Sputnik.
A medieval church stands next to the tower as a testament to the destruction of the old city. Work on the foundation began on 4 August and was finished by the end of The concreting of the tower foot began on 15 March The concreting progressed rapidly, so that the metre mark was exceeded on 4 October The shaft reached its final height on June 16, A total of 8, cubic metres of concrete was used to build the shaft, which was While the shaft was being erected, the preliminary work for the tower ball progressed.
The working group VEB Ipro had worked out the procedure for assembling the ball on the reinforced concrete shaft, according to which the ball could be pieced together from separate segments on the ground.
In April a metre-high replica of the shaft was erected on the construction site between Marienkirche and the Red Town Hall on which the ball segments were pre-assembled.
This work lasted until November In February , the assembly of the ball on the shaft was started.
The last segment of the ball was finally installed on October 7. A spike was mounted on the tower structure and the antenna structure above the ball, so that work on the interior could be started the following year.
At the beginning of , water trickled into the interior of the tower, causing considerable damage; the ball had to be sealed again.
Until 3 October , the interior was expanded, and the entrance pavilion was completed. After 53 months of actual construction work, the tower was completed in "record-breaking" time in spite of all the adversities.
The only TV tower that was taller was the Ostankino in Moscow. It was also the third-highest freestanding building of its time, after the tower in Moscow and the Empire State Building in New York.
The tower has been accessible to the public since October 7, , Republic Day. From 16 February , five FM programmes were broadcast from the tower; a first television programme followed on 4 April At the beginning of , the two planned pavilions for exhibitions, the Berlin Information Centre, a cinema and gastronomic facilities were completed.
Overall, the restaurants offered space for around guests. After the establishment of a legal basis for the preservation of monuments in , the Berlin TV Tower was awarded this status in After German reunification in , voices were raised in favour of the demolition of the tower.
Among other things, the antenna received a new, more powerful tip from the height of metres, increasing the tower's height from originally metres to metres in summer The TV Tower is one of the buildings in Berlin that is illuminated by a special light installation for several days during the Festival of Lights held every year in October since On the occasion of the FIFA World Cup , the tower ball was covered to make it look like a magenta football as part of an advertising campaign by the operator Telekom.
When the sun shines on the Fernsehturm's tiled stainless steel dome, the reflection usually appears in the form of a cross.
Berliners nicknamed the luminous cross Rache des Papstes , or the "Pope's Revenge". Walter" from Walter Ulbricht.
President Ronald Reagan mentioned this in his Tear down this wall speech on 12 June The distinctive outline of the Fernsehturm is sometimes used for logos.

Infradev submits $350M bond for Makati subway project
MANILA, Philippines – The Antonio Tiu-led Philippine Infradev Holdings Inc. has submitted to Makati City the US$350 million performance bond for a 10-kilometer intra-city subway project under the public-private partnership framework, paving the way for the signing of a joint venture agreement on Tuesday.
The Infradev board approved a resolution on the joint venture with the Makati City government in connection with this project.
Also referred to as a contract bond, a performance bond is issued to one party of a contract as a guarantee against the failure of the other party to meet obligations specified in the contract.
The Makati subway system, which is targeted to be completed by 2024 or 2025, is projected to cost US$3.7 billion, including the cost of expropriation, demolition and relocation of structures to be affected by the project.
Each station is expected to cost US$100 million to build. /gsg

In a small bowl, combine the salt with the brown sugar. Using your fingers rub this mixture over the flesh of the salmon. Cover the salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Rinse the brown sugar mixture from the salmon fillet; pat dry. Spray the rack of the air fryer with nonstick spray, then place the salmon onto the rack. (If your salmon fillet is a skin-on fillet, place the skin-side down.) Brush the top of the salmon with a bit of oil.
Air fry the salmon at 350 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes on the center rack; test the salmon with a fork at the center of the fillet, When the fork is inserted into the thickest part of the salmon and twisted, the salmon should give easily and flake apart in that area. If this doesn't happen, continue to cook the salmon for a few minutes longer until it is fork-tender.
Remove the salmon from the air fryer, placing the rack on your stove top or a hot pad. Use a spatula to lift and place the salmon onto a serving plate and drizzle with honey, as desired. **If you are cooking a salmon fillet that is skin-on, use a thin spatula to lift the fillet up and off the skin, leaving it behind on the air fryer rack. Serve at once, drizzled with warm honey.
There are 3 things to look for when purchasing fresh salmon: appearance, texture, smell. Look for salmon that is bright and saturated in color. The fillets should be firm to the touch and shouldn’t smell “fishy” but rather like the ocean, or “briny”.Salmon is fully cooked when it turns from bright in color to more opaque. More importantly, salmon is done when it is fork-tender. By inserting a fork into the thickest part of the fillet, then gently twisting, you can tell if the salmon is done. If the flesh easily gives when you twist the fork, the salmon is fully cooked.I think salmon can be cooked in nearly any style of air fryer, though I cannot guarantee that. We have the TOA-60 Cuisinart Air Fryer that has a rack that slides in an out. This flat rack allows foods to be spread out so they can cook more quickly.The brown sugar and salt mixture that is applied to the salmon before cooking it is actually what’s called a dry brine – it adds flavor as well as helping to keep the salmon nice and moist. The salmon absorbs the sweet/salty flavors quite quickly and this is why the salt/brown sugar mixture should be washed away after just 1 hour.Fresh salmon can easily be frozen and stored in the freezer for up to 6 months. Wrap it tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, then place the fillets into a gallon freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The golden hour and the Vancouver skyline at the end of New Year’s Day 2017.
For this week Discover Challenge: Flâneur Krista asks us to “Observe your city, town, street, or patch of earth and report back — in your favorite medium.”No surprise that the patches of earth that I love to feature on The Changing Palette, as you know, are here on Kitsilano Beach Park in Vancouver with views out to English Bay.
Yesterday’s morning walk at sunrise was rewarded with these glorious Fall colors in the park…
the silhouetted figures seen between the trees…
and the tankers illuminated out in the Bay.
One final image from the walk you might recognize as I used for an eerie backdrop in my post for this weeks Photo Challenge: Transmogrify.
the secret path
Today’s painting was inspired by last night’s broadcast on CBC television of Gord Downie’s film, The Secret Path. The film acknowledges a dark part of Canada’s history – the long-suppressed mistreatment of indigenous children and families by the residential school system and tells the story of twelve year old Chanie Wenjack who died alone beside the train tracks fifty years ago on October 22, 1966 whilst trying to walk home to his family from whom he was taken over 400 miles away
If you can find an hour take the time and see the film, and be as moved as I was. Learn Chanie Wenjack’s heartbreaking story, listen to Gord Downie’s unforgettable songs and music and be inspired by award-winning cartoonist Jeff Lemire’s illustrations. You can find the film here on the CBC website: The Secret Path.
Dedicated to the memory of Chanie Wenjack
After the breathtaking Fall colours in Québec City yesterday our visit to the Ile d’Orlean today was just as spectacular with our first stop at the Montmorency Falls in the Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, before crossing the bridge to the Island where we picked apples, enjoyed the best strawberries and savoured every glorious colour-filled moment.
Home to Vancouver and the west coast tomorrow.
After yesterday’s right road all I can feel today is an overwhelming sense of sadness and despair as we remember beautiful little five year old Taliyah Marsman, whose body was found by the road yesterday, and her mother both murdered in Calgary this week, together with all of the other children murdered with their parents in Nice yesterday, including eleven year old Brodie Copeland and his father Sean from Texas, mown down with so many others on the Promenade des Anglais. We remember them all with a heavy heart, and once again express our sympathy and solidarity with the people of France together with all of the families around the world who may be grieving today .
There are no more words except,
Je suis…un homme qui pleure aujourd’hui.
Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver has been featured many times on thechangingpalette. It is a definite muse and constant source of photographic inspiration, from the crisp clear days of Winter, to the glorious hot days of Summer…
…with the wonderful colours of Spring and Fall in between
….and breathtaking skies and sunsets all year round.
Today was a spectacular Canada Day to walk along the beach to Granville Island
…and the perfect way to celebrate this special day
…made even more special for this newly doting Grandpa.
Wishing everyone a very Happy Canada Day.

After two Christian colleges voted last month to change their policies on marriage, the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) promised to respond in a “deliberate and consultative” manner.
That approach is not good enough, says Samuel W. “Dub” Oliver, president of Union University in Jackson, Tennessee.
Union, a Southern Baptist school with 4,000 students, announced on Wednesday that it is withdrawing from the CCCU.
By dropping their non-discrimination policies on sexual orientation, CCCU member schools Eastern Mennonite University and Goshen College “abandoned fidelity to God’s Word,” Oliver wrote in a letter.
The CCCU board, said Oliver, knew the two schools were considering allowing same-sex married employee for years. Still they did not act, he said.
“There have been several gatherings where the Council could have been clear about our expectations of membership,” he said in a statement. “The Council could have even deliberated and voted on such matters. We did not. As a result, we appear unprepared to state our commitments, much less take action.”
Oliver has warned in the past that as many as 40 CCCU members could leave if Eastern Mennonite and Goshen are allowed to remain as members. Prior to Union’s departure, the CCCU had 121 member campuses in North America.
No other member schools have withdrawn so far, said Shapri D. LoMaglio, CCCU’s vice president for government and external relations.
The CCCU board discussed the situation at Eastern Mennonite and Goshen at their regular meeting in July. After that board meeting, the CCCU board “reaffirmed its commitment to a deliberative and consultative process,” which included calling the presidents of all CCCU member schools to discuss the issue.
The “vast majority” of them affirm traditional Christian teaching on marriage, the umbrella organization said in a July release.
“The board and member presidents have made these phone calls a top priority,” LoMaglio told CT. “In the two weeks since they met, the board has already called nearly half of our presidents.”
CCCU was saddened by Union’s decision but wished the school well, said president Shirley V. Hoogstra in a statement.
Hoogstra also defended the organization’s handling of the issues raised by Eastern Mennonite and Goshen.
“Following a good and respectful process does not mean that we do not recognize the importance of this issue in our current cultural climate,” Hoogstra said. “[W]e do, and as such, CCCU is advocating vigorously on behalf of schools that hold the orthodox view of marriage, and we will continue to do so both for our members and for others who hold that view but are no longer members.”
But Oliver believes the CCCU and Union no longer share a common commitment to Christian teaching.
“The fact that this is not unanimous damages our witness,” Oliver wrote to the CCCU. “The reason we are passionate about this is because what we are talking about is not a secondary or tertiary theological issue—marriage is at the heart of the Gospel. To deny the Bible’s concept of marriage is to deny the authority of Scripture.”
Oliver is also worried that the CCCU’s lack of action could have legal implications. He and other Christian college leaders fear that their schools could be at odds with the federal government over their policies on sexuality. Because of that concern, Union wants to “maintain a consistency and unanimity with their faith family’s commitment on issues like same-sex marriage.”
The issue of whether Christian colleges could lose their tax-exempt status was raised during the Supreme Court’s deliberations over legalizing same-sex marriage. During Senate hearings last month, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told a Senate subcommittee that the agency has no plans to address the tax-exempt status of religious schools.

This sketch immediately inspired a few ideas so I thought I would give this a try. I’m always making cards for my grandson. He’s only two but he really enjoys them and looks at them frequently. It wasn’t hard to decide to use this sketch to make him a card.
He loves his two dogs and cat so I chose the Pampered Pets bundle and Playful Pets papers to make this card. Coloring with the blends is always quick and easy so I stamped the cat and dog and then colored them with the Smokey Slate and Gray Granite blends. The little hearts are my attempt at the three embellishments. I cut them out with the dog punch. (So sad that it is retiring soon!)

There are 3 $15 gift certificates to be snagged this week - so don't forget to comment!
Today we are showcasing the pretty new set called Partridge in a Pear Tree. I had to laugh when I saw the other designer's creations using this set - we all pretty much used the same colours on our sneaky peeks - the minds of designers right?!
I really just made a pretty clean and simple card for today - stamping the image in Memento Tuxedo Black (great to use with copic markers!) and colouring it with my comics.
I added a bit of shine on the sweet little partridge using glossy accents and then some pretty glitter on the pears - so quick and easy!
A little skiff of gold thread was tied around the top to bring all the gold together - don't forget the release goes live on Friday night and you can use my spiffy discount code - even on new items - crazy right??

A Minnesota woman is calling herself the "World's Meanest Mom" after attempting to teach her teenage daughter a lesson.
Amy Adams is selling her daughter's Dodge Ram because the 15-year-old doesn't respect Adams or her siblings.
The teen was given one more chance before losing the truck, and according to Adams, she used it when her daughter recently skipped school, KARE reported.
Tired of her daughter's behavior, Adams listed the truck, which is in her name, on Craigslist.
She's selling the 1998 truck for $2,750, KARE reported.
Half of the responses she's received have been positive, but apparently not everyone is happy with the ad.
Adams told KARE that her daughter's friends flagged the ad, forcing it to be removed twice.

Ahead of President Obama's second U.S.-Africa Business Forum planned for New York on September 21, 2016, the FEEEDS Initiative —Food Security, Education, Environment-Energy, Economics, Democracy-Development and Self-help— in partnership with GALLUP, hosted the third annual forum on Africa in Washington, D.C. to discuss the importance and impact of Africa Diaspora small and medium size Enterprises (SMES) in the development of the Continent. Managing Partner, Gallup, Jon Clifton, introduced the featured special guest, Catherine Byrne, President Obama's Special Assistant and Senior Director for African Affairs at the White House.
Other speakers included Alicia Robinson-Morgan, Deputy Director of the Africa Office at the U.S. Department of Commerce; Leila Ndiaye, Africa Policy Director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Rahama Wright, member President's Doing Business in Africa Council (PAC-DBIA) & CEO-Shea Yeleen, with Allafrica.com CEO, Reed Kramer, as moderator.
The hosts for the Africa Diaspora SME Business Forum were Jon Clifton, Managing Partner, GALLUP, and Ambassador Robin Sanders, CEO-FEEEDS. AllAfrica.com and GB Group Global led by Dr. Gloria Herndon were this year's featured partners. This is the third year Allafrica.com has been the media partner and the first that GB Group Global participated.
In her opening remarks, Ambassador Sanders said the FEEEDS-GALLUP Africa Diaspora SME Business Forum represents an important step forward for high-level meetings in sharing practical and useful information to Africa SMEs, the state of the current U.S.-Africa business relationship, and Gallup's important data of the state of the Sub-Saharan Africa Region. "It also provides for a unique platform to highlight the role that Africa Diaspora SMEs are playing in the region's economic development, GDP growth, and spurring the middle class," Sanders said.
In her speech, President Obama's Special Assistant for Africa, Catherine Byrne, noted that despite huge security challenges, democracy and business growth have taken root in Africa and "there is progress." She said progress can be seen in several countries in Africa including places such as Zambia and Nigeria where exemplary general elections were held with winners and losers embracing peace or violence. She said the second U.S.-Africa Business Forum planned for New York in September 21, 2016 will solidify the Obama Administration's effort to not only increase US-Africa business ties, but strengthen the US-Africa relationship. Byrne identified some of the economic policies that have achieved results in Africa as the Security Governance and Trade Africa Initiatives, Power Africa, FEED the Future program, The Young Africa Leaders Initiative (YALI), the U.S.-Africa Business Forum, assistance setting up an Africa-like Center for Disease Control (which is already underway as a result of the Ebola outbreak), the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), efforts to fight corruption, and the extensions of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for another 10 years – all will be part of President Obama's Africa legacy. She highlighted these examples that we can all build on in response to questions about: what has been achieved; where is the US-Africa relationship going, and, what was next in the relationship.
The Africa Diaspora SME business forum had two sessions. The first session, moderated by AllAfrica.com's CEO Reed Kramer, had Alicia Robinson-Morgan, Leila Ndiaye and Rahama Wright. The panel discussed Africa's current investment opportunities, key sectors for SME participation, the role of President Obama's PAC-DBIA, and his upcoming U.S.-Africa Business Forum.

The active form of the vitamin can be a key component of a new drug for a hereditary form of the disease, which is now incurable.
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic incurable disease, for which today there are only corrective symptoms therapy. The hereditary form of the disease is associated with mutations in a number of genes, in particular, the gene encoding the LRRK2 enzyme. It was on him that the scientists concentrated to find the key to the potential treatment. And found it in the usual vitamin.
The study was conducted by an international group of scientists, the results are published on the website of the University of the Basque Country.
The team found that the active form of vitamin B12 called AdoCbl is able to inhibit LRRK2.
Scientists tested the effect on brain cell cultures as well as animal models and found that therapy prevents neurotoxicity of LRRK2.
Mutations increase the activity of the kinase enzyme LRRK2, which causes neurotoxicity and other negative effects, the authors explain. For this reason, therapy was aimed specifically at inhibiting this activity, and AdoCbl proved the potential for future research.
“Experimental therapy has proven its neuroprotective properties, which means vitamin B12 can be the basis for the development of new treatments for the hereditary form of Parkinson’s disease,” said scientist.
It is believed that about 15% of patients with Parkinson’s disease have a hereditary form. The overall incidence is constantly growing and, according to experts, the next 25 years will not bring anything good. Experts believe that by 2040 there will be more than 12 million people with this diagnosis. Maybe a few million more.

Today I have a mani swap with the sweetest Milena of Nail That Design to show you guys.
She chose this blue ombré by me and I chose this freehand flower crown design by her.
For the manicure I started off with a nude base of Essie Adore-A-Ball on my middle and ring finger and a pale, yellow base of Dior Sunwashed on my other nails. Afterwards I freehanded the flower crowns on my middle and ring finger with acrylic paint and a small nail art brush.
I really loved working on this mani swap with Milena and I love how it turned out!
What do you guys think about this nail art? Let me know in the comments!

It's quite rare to catch a new Jianqi Huo film this close to its original release, so when I got the opportunity to watch Xuan Zang [Da Tang Xuan Zang] I immediately jumped at it. Jianqi Huo is somewhat of a personal favorite and while his films usually don't look all that attractive on paper, he has an excellent track record of changing my mind once I've seen them. Xuan Zang isn't any different. While the long trek of a Buddhist monk didn't immediately appeal to me, the film itself convinced me otherwise.
The name Xuan Zang may not immediately ring a bell, but he's quite the famous historical figure in China. If you're familiar with Hong Kong cinema (or classic Chinese literature for that matter) you're sure to have heard of Journey to the West. As it turns out, Xuan Zang's trek to India is what inspired the original novel (and thus its countless adaptations). Don't expect a fantasy epic though, Xuan Zang's journey is more religious in nature, making this a more timid and relaxing film compared to the more outrageous Journey to the West adaptations.
Jianqi Huo is a good fit for directing Zang's biography. He has a knack for serving Chinese culture in such a way that it appeals to both local and oversees audiences. It shouldn't come as a surprise then that Huo's film was selected to represent China in this year's foreign film Oscar competition. Bear in mind though that some affinity with Buddhism is welcomed when watching this film. While the Buddhist influences aren't too overbearing, there are parts that touch on very particular subjects of the religion. Even so, as someone with little passion for religion, it never really bothered me.
The film follows Xuan Zang on his big adventure from China to India. His motivation? Finding the original Buddhist scriptures and cross-checking them for translation errors and omissions. Zang suspects the Chinese teachings are insufficient and sets out to clear things up by visiting the very source of his religion. But the road ahead is long and challenging and Chinese citizens aren't even allowed to travel West. That doesn't stop him though, even when he's faced with seemingly unbearable hardships.
Jianqi Huo has a special talent for framing nature in all its glory and Xuan Zang's journey gives him all the material he needs. While Zang crosses mountains, deserts and forests Huo finds ample opportunities to showcase his trademark lavish shots. He couldn't fully escape China's seemingly unquenchable thirst for shoddy CG though, but those moments are few and far between and at least the CG is functional (reinstating the old temple in its former glory and bringing rain to the desert). Overall it's a gorgeous-looking film.
The soundtrack too is up to Huo's usual standard. That means traditional-sounding Chinese music intertwined with ethereal string ambient. It's a beautiful combination and a good match for this type of film. There are a few moments where it felt like Huo was actually pushing it a little, crossing from beauty straight into kitsch, but on the whole the film provides a very pleasant, gracious and soothing audiovisual experience.
While there is a rather large cast, the film rests solemnly on the shoulders of Xiaoming Huang (playing Xuan Zang). Huang fares well as a devoted Buddhist monk, keeping his calm posture even in the most dire of circumstances. The rest of the cast is somewhat fleeting, mostly people Zang meets on his trip to India. It's not that the secondary cast is disappointing, there are notable performances from Jiayue Lou and Winston Chao, but they simply lack the screen time to make much of their parts.
Xuan Zang isn't a very contentious biopic. Xuan Zang is portrayed as a near saint, a venerable monk who touches the hearts of everyone he encounters. Zang's only true challenge comes in the form of nature's hardships, but even those are quickly conquered (apart from one rough passage in the desert). Don't expect a typical rise and fall structure or a voyage filled with setbacks. While Zang's undertaking is handled with the proper respect, Huo avoids almost all negativity, opting for a much more uplifting film.
The first hour is probably the strongest. When a little over halfway Zang finally reaches his destination in India the film spends more time digging into Buddhism itself, compared to the more road movie-like structure of the first part. It's not a showstopper and there's still plenty of beauty present in the second half, but it's something non-religious people should take into account. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed Zang's trip, not in the least because of Huo's skilful presentation.

Xpring, the incubation arm of Ripple, continues the streak of its investments with content monetization startup Coil, which recently received a 1 bln XRP grant (about $265 mln at press time).
In such a way, the San Francisco-based crypto juggernaut wants to streamline the adoption of XRP and Interledger.
Reading for disruption
Notably, the upstart company is spearheaded by Ripple’s former CTO Stefan Thomas. Along with Ripple, he took part in Coil’s recent seed funding round that amounted to $4 mln.
Coil offers creators a brand-new way of monetizing their content (apart from advertising and site-by-site subscriptions). It offers its users a $5 monthly subscription that would allow creators to monetize their content on different Coil-supported websites.
Coil’s API, which is called Web Monetization, is powered by Blockchain-agnostic protocol Interledger.
Creators want more choice and control over how their content is monetized and distributed," said Stefan Thomas, CEO and founder of Coil and co-creator of the Interledger Protocol.
On Aug. 6, Equilibrium Connect, a stealth startup that focuses on the development of tools for Interledger, also made an announcement about receiving an investment from Ripple.
As reported by U.Today, Xpring plans to put $500 mln into 20 companies. The list includes Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings, which turned the A-list celebrity manager into a member of the #XRPArmy.

63 percent of physicians reported symptoms of burnout in 2021 compared with 38 percent in 2020. Burnout results in anxiety, high stress levels, blood pressure issues, and several other health problems.
A large change is needed to address the growing burnout crisis among physicians. Major reasons for burnout rates are the work system, documentation, number of patients seen in a day, work-life balance, no breaks between appointments, and much more.
Jumping down to the core of the problem, it is the routine or the schedule that hampers a clinician’s ability to work efficiently and produce results. So, how can appointment scheduling tools work in a practitioner’s favor and reduce their burnout rate? Let’s find out.
1. Optimizing Work Schedules
According to the Medscape Physician Compensation Report 2023, physicians work 50 hours per week, which also includes treating patients, charting, paperwork, and admin tasks. Prolonged working hours, no breaks, no holidays, and no time for family lead to unhealthy work patterns, eventually resulting in burnout.
Appointment scheduling software can help ease the burden on physicians and allow them to eliminate prolonged working hours. Pre-built templates on appointment scheduling software allow healthcare providers to create daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly schedules.
Shifts, time-offs, and vacations can also be included in the schedule. Moreover, a provider can set appointment limits in a day to maintain healthy working patterns. According to a study presented at the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ ADVANCE 2022, the Anesthesiology Business Event, AI-based scheduling significantly improves physician engagement and reduces burnout by creating fair and flexible schedules that support work-life balance.
The study further stated that the AI-based scheduling software granted more vacation days, reduced ungranted vacation days, and provided flexibility and predictability, compared to the previous staff-created scheduling system, resulting in significantly improved engagement scores from anesthesiologists within six months.
Apart from this, automated patient reminders reduce no-shows and help physicians manage their work routines better. They can easily fill in the gaps or take a long break if needed. Furthermore, mobile-optimized appointment scheduling tools allow physicians to cancel, reschedule, or swap appointments with another provider, thus optimizing the work routine efficiently.
2. Implementing Patient Self-Scheduling
Administrative tasks like appointment scheduling can be one of the major burdens for any medical practice. Imagine going back and forth through a log book to accommodate patients based on provider’s and patient’s availability. It can be tiring at some point and is a time-consuming task. With the patient self-scheduling tool, clinicians can cut down this time and utilize it on patients or simply to take a break from work.
In September 2022, the Allegheny Health Network (AHN) included the option of self-scheduling a physician’s appointment. Patients can book right from their smartphones or computers. AHN is now one of the few large healthcare systems in the country to provide self-scheduling for specialty and primary care services. The idea was to eliminate the hassles involved in scheduling a doctor’s appointment. With patients taking taking initiative in booking appointments, doctors can only focus on care rather than on non-medical tasks.
Missed appointments or no-shows hamper a physician’s routine and can lead to uneven breaks or even prolonged work. Self-scheduling can solve this problem. A study conducted involved the analysis of 1,995,909 appointments booked between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021, at more than 30 practice sites. Over the study period, uptake of self-scheduling increased from 4% to 15% of kept appointments. Younger, commercially insured patients were more likely to be users. Missed appointments were lower and cancelations were higher for self-scheduled patients.
The patient self-scheduling tool offers features that can significantly contribute to reducing clinician burnout rate. These are:
- Automated Reminders: This feature sends personalized messages to patients via SMS or emails about upcoming appointments. It also offers instructions to cancel, confirm, or reschedule appointments. Reminders reduce no-shows and last-minute cancellations, moreover, it helps physicians to manage their schedule better and not over-burden themselves with work.
- Patient Intake Forms: Patients filling up their forms decreases the administrative burden on the support staff. Data from intake forms preps the physicians for upcoming appointments throughout the day. Based on the information, they can decide which patients need more time and manage their routine accordingly.
- Fix Appointments Any Time: Clinicians no longer have to worry about managing or fixing appointment slots, the scheduling tool does it for them throughout the day. Clinicians can fix appointment limits, based on which the tool offers slots to patients.
Patients feel more satisfied if they’ve control over their appointment scheduling and healthcare treatment. So, tools like patient scheduling not only promote a higher satisfaction rate but also patient engagement. Consequently, patients are more likely to recommend your practice to friends and family or leave online reviews.
3. Integration with Other Software Tools
A medical practitioner uses multiple healthcare software such as practice management, EHR, telemedicine, billing and payment, etc. So, the integration of appointment scheduling software tools allows practitioners to view everything in one place and not open multiple tools at once.
For instance, connecting appointment scheduling with patient portals enables healthcare providers to access patient records during the scheduling process, ensuring that appointments align with medical histories and treatment plans. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago implemented a similar plan to centralize the scheduling process by bringing in patient portals.
Scheduling was a time-consuming process for the hospital, hence resulting in burnout. With patient portals and different engagement systems, functions like appointment scheduling, digital clinic visits, feedback, and digital registration became integrated.
Furthermore, integrating appointment scheduling with analytics tools provides valuable data on appointment trends, resource utilization, and customer behavior. Enables organizations to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall operational efficiency, reducing burnout.
Switching through multiple software tools takes up a lot of time in a day and can leave a practitioner exhausted. Integration of essential software in one healthcare tool can increase the productivity and efficiency of practitioners.
In conclusion, the integration of appointment scheduling software tools has emerged as a pivotal solution in alleviating the burden on clinicians and addressing the alarming rates of burnout within the healthcare industry. By streamlining administrative tasks, optimizing work schedules, and software integrations, these tools empower healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care and less on logistical challenges.
As we continue to witness the positive impact of such technological advancements, it becomes increasingly evident that prioritizing the well-being of clinicians not only benefits healthcare providers but also contributes to a more sustainable and resilient healthcare system. The ongoing evolution and adoption of appointment scheduling software are paving the way for a future where clinicians can fulfill their professional duties with greater ease, ultimately fostering a healthier healthcare environment for all.
