Next Wednesday I will be heading to Colombia on the Papal plane to cover Pope Francis' five-day trip to four Colombian cities as part as his effort to boost the peace process. I intend to do a post once I am back so this is just a little preview – mostly as a preparatory exercise for myself – of what we can expect from the trip.
The Pope's trip to Colombia is his 20th trip as Pope. He has been to Colombia before as a bishop and when he was a priest back in the 1970s. He is not the first Pope to visit. Pope Paul VI visited in 1968 and attended a conference of Latin American Bishops in Medellin where they agreed that the church should make a "preferential option for the poor." The view evolved into the "liberation theology" movement so intensely disliked by Pope John Paul II. A church of the poor is definitely in line with the thinking of Pope Francis.
John Paul II traveled to Colombia in 1986 and visited 10 cities including one hit by terrible mudslides that left over 20,000 thousand dead.
Pope Francis showed a keen interest in the Colombia peace talks from the beginning of his papacy and in 2016 he announced that he would pay a visit to Colombia once the peace process was complete.
Finally, in September 2016 in Cartagena, the Colombian government and the FARC rebel leaders signed an agreement to end the 53-year war that has left at least 250,000 dead, thousands more missing and millions displaced. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos shook hands with rebel leader Rodrigo Londono, also known as Timochenko, to seal the deal that was negotiated over four years in Havana, Cuba and involves detailed plans for the roughly 6-7,000 remaining armed fighters to move into UN organized de-militarized camps where they are handing over their weapons. Under a transitional justice system, fighters will be given a chance to do community work instead of going to prison in exchange for confessions and reparations. The FARC has been allowed to set up its own political party and has been guaranteed a total of seats, 5 in each chamber of parliament until 2026. The agreement provides for land reform and tries to address the question of gross inequalities in Colombia.
Just one month later the people of Colombia rejected the accord in a national referendum, sending the negotiators back to the table. A new version of the accord was eventually approved by the Colombian legislature on December 1st.
The Vatican has announced that the slogan for the Pope's trip is "Demos el primer paso" – "Let's take the first step" with an accompanying image of the Pope in his white cassock and signature black shoes taking a step.
The Pope's first stop will be Bogota' where the Vatican has declared the theme of the day will be "Artisans of Peace, Promoters of Life." He will make the usual stops he makes on every foreign trip, speaking to government officials and making a courtesy visit to President Juan Manuel Santos.
Santos won the Nobel Prize for peace in 2016 for his efforts to end the Colombian civil war. He visited Pope Francis in December 2016, together with his predecessor Alvaro Uribe who led the campaign to vote against the peace accords in the October referendum. The Pope invited Uribe to join Santos at the meeting in the Vatican to encourage a resolution to their differences over the peace accord. Uribe wants to see some rebels punished for war crimes and does not want former FARC rebels to get seats in the Colombian congress.
The Pope will also hold a meeting with Catholic Bishops on his first day in Bogota'. About 85-percent of Colombia's 49 million people are Catholics and even many of the FARC rebels who have embraced a Marxist-Leninist political philosophy, consider themselves Catholics. Over the five decades of war, the church was often caught up in the violence with priests being killed and churches destroyed. The Catholic Church was active in the peace negotiations and is deeply involved in the transition process. The Pope will urge the bishops to continue their work in the reconciliation process.
The Pope will hold a Mass the first day in Simon Bolivar park where the Vatican expects 700,000 people. Francis will meet with people with disabilities, including people with Down's Syndrome both at the Mass and at the Nunciature (residence of the Papal Nuncio, or Ambassador) where the Pope will be staying.
On September 8, Pope Francis will fly to Villavicencio for a day dedicated to reconciliation. As Vatican spokesman Greg Burke told reporters on Friday, it is not just about reconciliation with God and fellow Colombians but also with nature.
On arrival, the Pope will hold a Mass during which he will beatify two churchmen killed in political violence in Colombia, Jesus Jaramillo and Pedro Ramos.
During the period between 1948 and 1958 that has become known as "La Violencia", when tensions between liberals and conservatives in Colombia exploded into violence that left hundreds of thousands dead, Father Pedro Maria Ramirez Ramos was beaten to death with sticks by an angry mob hostile to the Catholic Church which they accused of being aligned with conservatives.
The headline event of the day in Villavicencio is the "Big Meeting for Prayer and National Reconciliation" at the Las Malocas Park. The Vatican estimates that six thousand people will attend this meeting where the Pope will meet with former guerrilla fighters, ex-military fighters and victims of the violence.
The Bojaya' Crucifix will be on the stage for the reconciliation event. In 2002, 79 people seeking refuge in the Bojaya' Church during a battle between FARC guerrillas and right-wing paramilitary fighters died when a mortar shell hit the church.
As part of the events in Villavicencio, the Vatican will plant 1,000 trees. Pope Francis will plant a tree in front of the cross of Bojaya'.
After the day's events the Pope will return to the Nunciature and meet with a group of victims of the violence in Colombia and their relatives.
On September 9th, the Pope will go to Medellin, once considered the cocaine capital of the world, where in the 1980s drug-kingpin Pablo Escobar's minions ruled the city on motorbikes knocking off anyone who got the cartel's way.
According to my guidebook, Medellin is now a thriving metropolis with fancy restaurants and interesting museums. It is also the Catholic capital of Colombia.
The Pope will hold a Mass at the airport, meet with orphan children and then in the afternoon have a meeting with priests, nuns, seminarians and their families. The Vatican is expecting 12,000 people for that.
I have been wondering if he will mention the drug business and the concern that some of the former FARC guerrillas might be tempted to go work for the cartels.
Arenas said he hoped that Pope Francis' message would reach the hearts of Colombians and help lead them in the right direction.
Pope Francis will visit the Caribbean coastal city of Cartagena on his last day in Colombia and dedicate his day to questions of human trafficking and the dignity of the individual.
Pope Francis will probably make the connection again when he is in Cartagena.
The Pope will also spend some time with Cartagena's Afro-Colombian population. He will be greeted by 300 people at the airport who will perform traditional dancing for him. He will visit one of the city's poorest neighborhoods in his popemobile and make a visit to someone's home. At the home of Pedro Claver he is scheduled to meet 300 Afro-Colombians who are being helped by Jesuits there.
While there is nothing related to Venezuela on the Pope's agenda, it will be hard for him to ignore the roiling crisis going on just across the 2,219 kilometer (1378 mile) long border between the two countries. Over the past year, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have crossed into Colombia to escape the political turmoil, stock up on food or get medical help as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro continues to establish what Catholic church officials have described as a "dictatorship". Venezuelan cardinals and bishops are expected to be at papal events as well as Venezuelan refugees. Even if the Pope does not bring up the topic of Venezuela himself, he will surely be asked his views by the Venezuelans he meets and the journalists in the trip.
Associated Press will have a big team covering the whole trip. I will be traveling on the plane with AP print Vatican correspondent Nicole Winfield, AP photographer Andrew Medichini and AP Television Cameraman Gianfranco Stara in addition to the AP writers, photographers and video-journalists from our Latin America bureaus who are already there preparing all our preview coverage.
Thank you to AP Photographer Andrew Medichini for letting me use some of his extra photos taken at this week's General Audience in St. Peter's Square that were not used by AP.
Wonderful that you will be going, Trisha! I look forward to your reports. And pray for the continued health and life of Pope Francis! He has done so much good in this world, and will keep on as long as he is able, which I hope is long indeed.
You may be interested to know that Harvard Divinity School is bringing a journalist, EJ Dionne of the Washington Post, who is a practicing Catholic, to the Div School as a guest Fellow next year. And Dionne wrote that he was accepting because of a fine course he had as a freshman many years ago, with Harvey Cox, whom he said still shapes his thinking. And Cox was the first in the West to recognize liberation theology, go to meet the theologians, and then help to familiarize the world with their works. They all honor him for that. So this Papal trip will tie into all these things. And you should consider applying as a Fellow at HDS!
Thank you Nancy for your comments. It should be a fascinating trip and liberation theology is one of the many interesting sub-themes. I need to do so much more reading up on all the things I should be prepared to cover. I apologize for not following your blog in this period but one of these days I will dive back in and look forward to reading it. I seem to be having trouble keeping up on blogging in general in this period.

Natural Tea Energy
Cross category tea blends bridge traditional retail categories such as energy and refreshment; and have successfully carved out space on the shelf next to functional beverages as low-sugar organic, clean label alternatives to fortified waters and juice.
by Dan Bolton
In the ready-to-drink category, tea-focused brands like ITO EN are innovating. Instead of concentrates and solubles, line extensions are brewed from whole leaves from sustainably grown tea and offered in recyclable packaging. Rona Tison, Executive Vice President of ITO EN North America, joins Tea Biz to discuss what makes tea the ideal base for function-enhancing blends that appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Rona Tison, executive vice president ITO EN North America
New matcha and green functional tea blends from ITO EN
RTD Teas Formulated for Function
Ready-to-drink tea, both refrigerated and shelf-stable, generated $4.2 billion in sales in the US multi-outlet channel last year. RTD is the fastest growth segment in tea. Volume increased 40% globally between 2011 and 2016 rising to 37 billion liters. Sales are predicted to generate $25 billion a year globally by 2024, according to Market Research Future. In the US, the RTD segment is a battle of titans dominated by Lipton, PepsiCo, whose Pure Leaf brand is the top seller and Coca Cola (marketing Peace Tea, Honest Tea, Gold Peak); along with Snapple and AriZona.
Cross category tea blends known as hybrids bridge traditional retail categories such as energy and refreshment; and have successfully carved out space on the shelf next to functional beverages as low-sugar organic, clean label alternatives to fortified waters and juice. Delivering a plant-powered matcha energy drink formulated with functional ingredients such as superfood acerola and yuzu for immunity, ginseng for focus, and ginger and honey to soothe ITO EN's newly launched matcha LOVE ENERGY + (plus), provides a clean and natural energy boost with 50 milligrams of caffeine and L-theanine in an 8.28 fluent ounce can that is priced at $2.49
Dan Bolton: Rona, when many tea brands are introducing herbals and herbal infusions, ITO EN has shown a solid commitment to traditional tea and tea blends. Will you share with listeners how the new matcha LOVE ENERGY + line maximizes tea's inherent health benefits before adding plant-based enhancements to the shot?
Rona Tison: Ito En's expertise and legacy are really in green tea. Not a botanical but the Camellia sinensis plant that has not been oxidized, unlike black tea that is fully oxidized. As a vertically integrated company, we work very closely with the tea farmers tending to the soil, cultivating the tea leaf. And unique to Japan, the Japanese green tea leaves are steamed right after harvesting. This stops the oxidation and it helps preserve all the great health benefits as well as the properties of the tea leaf particularly important to taste and aroma.
We were the innovators of the first unsweetened ready-to-drink green tea, a feat that was said to be impossible because, of course, green tea would oxidize. So, after years of research, we were able to introduce a bottled green tea that captured the optimal moment of enjoyment as if you were having a freshly brewed cup of green tea. And this revolutionized tea drinking. Even in Japan, the younger generations weren't taking the time to steep leaf tea as their parents were. They were much more mobile on the go and so this convenient, on-the-go, ready-to-drink green tea changed how tea was enjoyed even in Japan. Our bottled Oi Ocha just celebrated its 32nd year. It's been exciting to see the impact this has had on the modern lifestyle.
Dan: Will you describe these plant-based enhancements?
Rona: Our matcha brand has been doing incredibly well but we wanted to take it one step further and have a beverage that had more functionality, particularly given these times of the global pandemic. So, we decided to create a clean energy drink, that is plant-based powered with green tea and matcha, which has the goodness in the vitality of the green tea leaf. Each functional ingredient enhances this goodness by boosting immunity, or focus or it soothes. As you are aware, many energy drinks today do not have such healthy ingredients. So we're excited to be able to introduce a clean energy drink that gives you the benefits as well as tastes delicious. And that, of course, is first and foremost, people are very conscious about boosting their health and wellness, particularly in these times.
So, with that in mind, we created the three flavors: immunity, which helps maintain your defenses, with the superfruit as the acerola, and yuzu, which is a Japanese citrus, that is very high in vitamin C. Focus is matcha, combined with the ginseng and blueberry that empowers mental clarity and focus. Soothe helps kind of soothe body and mind. It's made with the honey and ginger.
Japanese Yuzu
All share a base of green tea and matcha, which provides the natural caffeine balanced with the amino acid, L-theanine, which is very high in green tea. Together you experience a sense of calm with alertness. Combined with the caffeine and L-theanine, this is a very clean and healthy energy drink with none of the unhealthy ingredients that you can't pronounce that are artificial and synthetic. Matcha LOVE ENERGY + has healthy clean ingredients, and only 50 milligrams of natural caffeine balanced with the L-theanine. This amino acid gives you a sense of calm and alertness, so you get your nice gentle boost, but it keeps you grounded throughout the day.
Matcha Love Energy
Dan: Consumer research confirms that drinks that deliver an energy boost are a top priority. In Europe, a survey of 5,000 consumers [conducted for Germany-based Beneo] revealed that half are looking for food and drink products to help them make it through the day. Eight-of-10 of those aged 18-34 said they seek energy-boosting products, but with safe concentrations of caffeine and without synthetic flavors, sweeteners, colors, and preservatives.
Rona: There's been a huge increase in the plant-based lifestyle, as more and more consumers are embracing a life of health and wellness. And, of course, tea is the original plant-based beverage. I don't know if your are aware that it was actually in Japan that functional foods first were introduced. In the 1980s, a grant was given to research functional foods, which in Japan are regulated under The Japanese Ministry of Health established regulatory oversight for functional foods known as 'Foods for Specified Health Use' (FOSHU)* in 1991. So, we thank Japan for the fact that they're functional beverages or functional foods.
It's always been a priority for ITO EN to bring healthy beverages to the forefront. Our five guiding principles have always been natural, healthy, safe, well designed, and delicious. So, whenever we conceptualize and develop products, it has to be within these five principles. And so, we're excited about our Matcha LOVE ENERGY + line joining our portfolio of green tea beverages and award-winning teas tea organic line, which is known for its clarity and clean finish.
Our traditional Oi Ocha line, which is very much an authentic green tea taste, refreshing. All green teas have antioxidants, the catechins EGCG and a multitude of vitamins to include the daily vitamin C. So given these times of the global pandemic, where people are thinking and prioritizing their health and immunity, it's pretty exciting that we've been able to introduce this hybrid beverage that not only tastes good but has functional properties.
*The Japanese scientific academic community defined 'functional food' early in the 1980s. That is, functional foods are those that have three functions. The primary function is nutrition. The secondary function is a sensory function or sensory satisfaction. The third is the tertiary function, which is physiological.

Conservative Leadership 2016, news, Politics
Today nominations will open for the next leader of the Conservative party, who will become Prime Minister. Two MPs must nominate a candidate for them to get on the ballot. If there are more than two candidates nominated (which is very likely given the number of MPs planning to run) then the 331 Conservative MPs will vote until there are two nominees left. Then Conservative party members across the country will vote on the leader based out of these two candidates.
Nominations open today, the 29 June, and will close on the 30th at noon. The proposed timetable, which hasn't yet been approved, means that there will be a new leader and new Prime Minister by 9 September.
Who's running?
These are the likely, and confirmed, candidates:
Boris Johnson - Leave. Former mayor of London and widely expected to be the next leader, but he is no longer the bookies' favourite to win. | Ruled Out
Theresa May - Remain. Current Home Secretary and considered a 'stop Boris' candidate. Currently the bookies' favourite to win. | Confirmed
Stephen Crabb - Remain. Running with Business Secretary Sajid Javid. Considered a 'blue collar' candidate and alternative to Eton-educated Boris Johnson. | Confirmed
Liam Fox - Leave. A prominent Leave campaigner, he came third in the 2005 Conservative leadership election. | Confirmed
Andrea Leadsom - Leave. Currently an energy minister but was a prominent Leave campaigner leading upto the referendum. | Confirmed
Michael Gove - Leave. Although originally supporting Boris Johnson, Gove has since retracted this and will run by himself. He's currently Minister for Justice; before that he was Education Minister. | Confirmed

Recent research completed by medical negligence solicitors Blackwater Law has shown that pressure damage/sores/ulcers were the most commonly recorded category of Serious Incident across 96 NHS trusts in England and Wales and Welsh health boards.
The findings come from a larger piece of research by Blackwater Law into the occurrence of Serious Incidents across 235 NHS Trusts in England and Wales. The findings from this research can be viewed here.
From the 171 acute and community health trusts in England and Wales and Welsh health boards, 96 provided a breakdown of description of each Serious Incident that was recorded in the trust or health board during the period 1st April 2016 – 31st March 2017.
Out of 7867 recorded incidents there had been 1762 separate Serious Incidents recorded against the category of pressure damage/sores/ulcers making it the most commonly recorded category of Serious Incident, accounting for 22.4% of the Serious Incidents from which a category was provided for.
75 of the trusts in England and Wales and Welsh health boards did not provide a breakdown or description of the Serious Incidents that they had recorded during the year, suggesting the total number of Serious Incidents relating to pressure damage/sores/ulcers is potentially far higher.
Pressure sores or ulcers are injuries that occur to the skin and underlying tissue, primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. As a result, they frequently affect those that are confined to a bed or wheelchair. They can occur on any part of the body but frequently affect the heels, hips and spine. Pressure sores and ulcers can vary in their severity from an open wound through to a very deep wound that may reach the bone and muscle and can therefore have wide reaching implications on the patient.
In many instances pressure sores/ulcers are thought to be avoidable where good care is provided. As a result, if a pressure sore has been acquired through negligent care it may be possible to pursue a pressure sore claim as part of a wider hospital negligence claim.
Information from the NHS England Serious Incident Framework – Frequently asked questions (March 2016) states that if the patient was not in receipt of NHS funded healthcare at the time the pressure ulcer was developed then it would not meet the criteria of a Serious Incident and therefore should not be recorded as one. As a result, it can be expected that the total number of pressure ulcers occurring would be substantially higher than those recorded as Serious Incidents as these should account for only the most severe instances.

Q: How can I fetch the URL using regular expression (looked into a few answers from SO but that doesn't solved my problem)? I am trying to fetch all the web addresses mentioned in a .txt file. Even though I was able to do for few of the addresses but some which are enclosed inside a parenthesis are getting fetched with some unwanted text.
This is an excerpt from my file:

I used this regex: https?://(www\.)?.+ to capture the addresses and tried on Atom editor.
Here is the result of it.

I'm confused about what could I possibly do to catch that URL enclosed inside parenthesis along without any conflict with rest of the URLs. Can someone from the SO community please assist?

A: You can exclude matching a ) and match only non whitespace chars
https?://[^\s)]+

Regex demo
If there can be only an ) at the end, you might also use a capture group and match an optional ) followed by a whitespace boundary
(https?://\S+?)\)?(?!\S)

Regex demo

With a word boundary, and without the capture group you can use
\bhttps?://\S+\b

Regex demo
The pattern matches:

*

*\b A word boundary to prevent a partial match

*https?:// Match the protocol with optional s and ://
= \S+ match 1+ times a non whitespace char

*\b A word boundary

A: Use
\bhttps?://(?:www\.)?\S+\b

See  regex proof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  \b                       the boundary between a word char (\w) and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ://                      '://'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  (?:                      group, but do not capture (optional

I think you are correct, there are various CFLAGS+=-DINET6 in various userland Makefiles.
Just tried with a GENERIC kernel, however it's still working.
So, if i follow you, this usage of INET6 define is definitely ugly ?

Plaintiff Tracy Lawlor (Lawlor) brings this action under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) of the Social Security Act, requesting review and reversal of the Commissioner of Social Security's (Commissioner) denial of her application for disability insurance benefits. Pending before the Court are Lawlor's motion seeking an order reversing the Commissioner's decision (Doc. 10 (Doc. 10-1 Memorandum)), and the Commissioner's motion seeking an order affirming her decision (Doc. 13). Lawlor filed a reply. (Doc. 16.) For the reasons set forth below, Lawlor's motion to reverse is granted and the Commissioner's motion to affirm is denied.
On June 13, 2012, Lawlor filed an application for disability insurance benefits alleging she became disabled as of January 1, 2008. (A.R. 149-55.) On November 1, 2012, her application was denied, id. at 87-89, and, on March 22, 2013, was denied again on reconsideration, id. at 99-101. Lawlor filed a timely request for an administrative hearing, id. at 103-04, which was held by Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Thomas Merrill on April 14, 2014, id. at 27-56. Lawlor appeared with a representative at the hearing and testified. Id. On July 14, 2014, the ALJ issued a decision concluding Lawlor was not disabled from the alleged disability onset date of January 1, 2008, through the date of the decision. Id. at 11-21. The Appeals Council denied her timely request for review on December 8, 2015, and the ALJ's decision became the final decision of the Commissioner. Id. at 1-3.
Lawlor was born July 23, 1968. (A.R. 149.) She has a high school education (GED), an LNA, and some college. Her past relevant work is as a warehouse worker and LNA. Id. at 31-32. She worked part-time as an LNA from 2008 until June 2012. Id. at 36. In November 2011, Lawlor was diagnosed with hepatitis C. Id. at 37. She alleges disability as a result of anxiety and her hepatitis treatment. Id. at 32-33, 37-40.
Since at least 1998, Lawlor has treated with psychiatrist Judith Tietz, M.D. (A.R. 917.) In February 2000, Lawlor asked Dr. Tietz to hospitalize her. Dr. Tietz assessed major depressive episode, severe, recurrent, without psychotic features, attention deficit disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. She noted Lawlor's current medications of Ritalin and Klonopin, her prior trials of Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, and Serzone, and prescribed Wellbutrin. Id. at 894.
In April 2005, Dr. Tietz noted Lawlor had begun working at Maplewood Nursing Home. In July, Lawlor reported she had felt overwhelmed but was doing better and Dr. Tietz provided counseling regarding vocational issues. (A.R. 857-58.) In August, her Ritalin prescription was increased from 5mg to 10mg. Id. at 856-57. In October 2006, Lawlor reported she was doing well but her anxiety was "so bad." Id. at 851. In April 2008, Lawlor reported her panic was at a low level but had been high three weeks prior, she was not depressed, and restarted taking Ritalin she had discontinued while pregnant. Id. at 848.
In April 2009, Dr. Tietz noted Lawlor was generally doing well, anxiety was even, and she was working per diem. She thought Lawlor's generalized anxiety disorder ("GAD") could benefit from a low dose of clonazepam. (A.R. 847.) In February 2010, Lawlor reported she was sober. Id. at 846.
In January 2011, Dr. Tietz noted she was less anxious though she had an episode of panic, felt fatigued on clonazepam so the dose was lowered, and was prescrbed Xanax. (A.R. 845.) On March 17, Lawlor was very anxious, overwhelmed, and tearful. She had taken more of her clonazepam and ran out early, so Dr. Tietz doubled her Xanax. Dr Tietz's mental status exam noted she was very tearful, upset, agitated, but goal-directed and no evidence of psychosis. She assessed her GAD as "quite severe at this time, as she has pulled the rug out from under herself by stopping the Klonopin." She directed Lawlor to restart Klonopin. Id. at 843.

United Way DC chapter fires PR director
September 16, 2002 by PHIL RABIN
WASHINGTON: The PR director for the United Way of the National Capital Area has been "terminated," according to the organization.
The departure of Anthony DeCristofaro came after The Washington Post started checking into a report that he proposed a complete review of how the group was spending its money.
The organization has been in the media spotlight recently because of issues related to how much money it raised and how much was given to charities, especially related to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
DeCristofaro, director of communications, marketing, and PR, had developed a plan to improve the organization's image. However, two insiders said his proposals - which included a call for an independent investigation - were not acted upon by Norman Taylor, who headed the chapter.
Shortly after the story on DeCristofaro's departure appeared in the Post, Taylor resigned and the organization announced it was starting reforms to assure that more money went to help those in need.
"Faster actions on my proposals would have averted the crisis that engulfed the organization this summer," DeCristofaro said.
When asked why DeCristofaro was no longer with the group, PR manager Lori Kline said, "In the interest of ensuring the privacy of our employees, we don't discuss personnel matters." In terms of a replacement, "there currently is a hiring and salary freeze, and the board is looking at restructuring the organization," she added.
In total, DeCristofaro had spent 15 years with the United Way. Immediately before joining the DC chapter a year ago, he was VP for marketing at United Way of America. He also was VP of media with Hill & Knowlton.
The DC chapter of the United Way is the nation's fourth largest, behind Seattle, New York, and Chicago.

Each season, a curated collective of Canadians are featured at Canada House in London, UK, during London Fashion Week. This exceptional showcase provides international exposure for Canada's talented designers and an opportunity to meet and network with UK industry, retail buyers, sales agents, media and industry VIP. The event is held in collaboration with the High Commission of Canada to the United Kingdom, Canada-UK Foundation and the City of Toronto.
The showcase is scheduled from September 12- 14th, 2018.
The mission at Sans Soucie is to rethink ways to maintain textile production in Canada by establishing partnerships with Canadian mills to obtain their waste textiles. In doing so, this allows for a unique production of hand made, Canadian-made textiles, garments and accessories. Katherine is motivated to educate on the importance of craft based practices, local production and the valuable role that waste textiles serves as a material resource.
Her experimentation with textile industry waste has resulted in an extensive body of work driven by her desire to integrate hand -raft applications with industrial processes. Thus, creating meaningful textiles that encourage the act of use and reuse where materials are made with care in respect to our environment.
Ms. Soucie is the Program Director for Fashion at LaSalle College Vancouver. She is currently the Artist in Residence with the City of New Westminster -- Solid Waste and Recycling Program, 2018. Recently nominated for the Vancouver Fashion Week Industry Originator Award, 2018.

Downtown Syracuse sees resurgence despite lack of young adults
By Liu Jiang
February 9, 2017 - 12:00am
As more businesses find success in downtown Syracuse, community leaders struggle to persuade recent college graduates to live in the area.
For more than a decade, Maren King drove from her home in DeWitt to her office on the SUNY-Environmental Science and Forestry campus. However, after years of taking the same route to work, King said the suburban life didn't appeal too much to her after her two sons left for college, so she decided to move and buy a condo in downtown Syracuse in 2009.
Families swoon over 'Beauty and the Beast' at Redhouse
By Kiona Dyches
Review: The pleasant rendition of Disney's 1991 award-winning animated feature provided the audience with enthusiastic and humorous, yet heartfelt performances.
At first glance, it was hard to imagine how an extravagant and familiar Disney story would unfold in the intimate space of the Redhouse Arts Center. But as the actors took the stage, the audience was magically transported to a secluded French village surrounded by lush green trees, houses and bakeries.

'Rent' remains as poignant as ever during 20th anniversary tour
By Beth Lindly
Review: Now, perhaps more than any time in recent memory, a musical about life, protest, love and community is needed.
Jonathan Larson's Rent is, distilled to its purest form, a story about life and what you do with it. One of the musical's most quoted lines is "No day but today" - a sentiment that is as poignant today as it was when Larson premiered it off-Broadway in 1996.
The 20th anniversary tour of Rent, which played at the Oncenter Crouse Hinds Theater from Nov. 15-17, provides audiences with heartfelt, powerful performances and proved why the musical has lasted 20 years.

Dogs hit the catwalk for Syracuse Fashion Week
By Kayla Boyd
Syracuse's Fall 2016 Fashion Week kicked off on Wednesday with its first ever dog fashion show.

The event, "Dressed To The K-9's," was Syracuse's first dog fashion show. It took place in Perseverance Park between Armory and Clinton Squares. The outdoor show was free to attend and free to enter.

Music industry grad connects downtown musicians
By Chase Ferren
Syracuse transplant Max Puglisi fell in love with his city after fostering a community of creativity at downtown jam sessions.
Max Puglisi spent three years in the city of Syracuse before he started living in it.
While studying music industry at Syracuse University, Puglisi didn't like the city he was in. Once he finally left the Hill his senior year, though, he said he fell in love.
"It never really seemed like anything was going on here until I got down there," said Puglisi, who grew up in Rochester. "And then, all of a sudden, these past two years, Syracuse has blown up in terms of culture."

This is hands down the best skincare discovery ever! It's the most amazing texture, which inks in to the skin leaving the skin velvet to touch. I use it every night and it makes my skin look so glowy and fresh the next morning. I honestly notice a massive difference if I don't use it. I'll forever repurchase.
I discovered this concealer in June and it rapidly became a holy grail. It's the best brightening concealer I've ever used. Doesn't pack a huge punch against blemishes, but for highlighting/brightening the under eye area it's second to none.
I feel like this is my most talked about product of the year. I just love this compact. The bronzer is the most perfect shade, and I love the sleek, black packaging and the generous mirror.
My newest addition that I didn't get until the beginning of December, but I just had to include it as it's the most amazing blush. It's the perfect pink and an amazing cream to powder formula.
I'd been lusting after this product for so long, and I finally got my hands on it back in April. It's the prettiest, most pigmented highlighter I've ever used. Definitely worth the £23 price tag.
I'd also been wanting to try MAC paint pots for the longest time. In August I finally caved and ended up going for the popular base shade Painterly. It fast became my favourite eyeshadow base and I now use it on a daily basis. Even when I'm not wearing eyeshadow, this just neutralises the lid and gets rid of any redness. Highly recommend.
It speaks for itself really. Such a beautiful palette. I was surprised with this for my birthday off my Auntie & Uncle and I absolutely adore it.
I'd heard about this mascara from Goss Makeup Artist, who claimed it was the mascara that beat them all! When I finally got my hands on it I wasn't disappointed. This mascara has it all; the cheap price tag, it lengthens, it volumises and it separates. Amazing.
I only got this back in November but I haven't used anything else on my brows since. A fab discovery and at only £5 it's fantastic value. It's supposedly a crackin' dupe for the ABH Dip Brow Pomade but I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it.
I actually got this last Christmas, but I didn't start using it until around the new year. I love how easy it is to use. It makes the brows look so much more lifted and defined. I don't own anything else like it.
I have raved about these on countless occasions and I cannot speak highly enough for them. Coming in at only £1, they are the creamiest lip liners I've veer tried and they come in some fantastic shades. Definitely ones to try if you haven't already!
Back in February I took to the web to find good cuticle oil or cream, and I found a few reviews claiming this was a fab one to try. I thought I'd give it a go and omg, it's brilliant. It's definitely more of an oily balm than a cream, but I swear it has strengthened my nails as well as softened my cuticles.
What are your best beauty discoveries of 2015?


Christmas time is undeniably a time of celebration for many people. It is something that many look forward to all year, as well as the gifts under the tree. Perhaps one of the best Christmas gifts you could give yourself and your family this year is a freshly refinanced mortgage. It could mean extra money in your pocket each month and a little less stress in trying to meet that large bill every month.
If you have ever wanted to refinance, now is certainly the best time. Some banks, such as Westpac and some of its subsidiary banks, have already started to raise their rates. They did this on their own, even without the Reserve Bank of Australia changing its rates. It is quite likely that other banks will follow soon, so right now is the best time to get the low rates that are currently available.
The biggest reason to consider refinancing your home loan is to reduce your payment size and to pay less interest. Some homeowners have been able to save an extra $1,100 per month and an additional $190 in fewer fees.
A few of the people who refinanced were able to add an offset account to their mortgage, and also added the option of being able to make extra repayments. When using these options, they found that they were able to save tens of thousands of dollars in interest and pay down the mortgage much faster.
If you have a mortgage that is going to be exposed to the rising interest rates in the near future, it will help you to refinance now. Getting in on the lowest rates now will enable you to make larger payments, which will reduce your payment size in the future. After your rates go up each month, and possibly a few more times, your ability to make extra payments will not be so easy.
This can also help you if you have other debts as refinancing will allow you to consolidate you debts, and instead of only being able to make the minimum payments, a lower mortgage payment could enable you to reduce your other debts faster by letting you pay more on them each month.
While everyone's mortgage is slightly different, you can calculate your savings with a Refinancing report, it was discovered that the average mortgage holder today can save some real money. In Sydney, it was found that the average homeowner could save just over $3400 per year. The same was true for Melbourne, where it was seen that they could save more than $2500 on average by refinancing.
The highest rate is now at 5.64 percent, and the lowest rate is 3.35, which is quite a difference. If you had a home loan at the highest rate on a $500,000 loan and you refinanced it at the lowest rate, you would be able to save just over $11,400 each year. If you were to apply that to your loan, you would save more than $123,000 on a 30-year loan and you would reduce the payment term by as much as 12 years.
One of the best ways to save money is to get a loan with an offset account. The advantage is that this account will earn the same amount of interest as your loan so that it reduces your interest payments by the same amount. In other words, if you have a loan of $450,000 and there is $60,000 in your offset account, you will only be paying interest on the $390,000.
Before you do any serious Christmas shopping for a new mortgage, be sure to shop around for the best deal. Besides looking at just the rates, be sure to look at all the fees; you might consider getting away from the big four, which often charge higher rates than the smaller lenders.


My past few weeks have been tough to say the least. So, as I'm a real life Dad I think it's only fair I let know all about my bad weeks as well as my good weeks. So here's what has been happening over the last few weeks and why I've not been able to write as much as I would have liked to.
Let me start by saying I've tried, I've written for hours and hours, then I deleted the whole lot. My mind and focus just wasn't there.
I should have had lots of things to say too, my son Arran turned 6 months on the 7th July, our 5 year wedding anniversary was on the 14th, we had my sisters-in-laws wedding and our nieces stayed for a week. All things that would have been great happy posts but I struggled turning these happy events into words, most likely because it was such a challenging week for me and I was struggling to find 'my happy thoughts'.
As I said, we had my sister-in-laws wedding on the 6th July, you may or may not have seen some of my Instagram updates from during the day. It was a long day for me, however, I think I did pretty well, all things considered. I pushed myself hard, probably too hard to be honest, but I really wanted to see the service and get at least one picture of my family with the bride and groom. Which I managed (mainly thanks to my best friend Morphine), while other times I had to go for a lie down and missed hours of the day. It was an amazing day, I couldn't fault anything, the staff were great and even knocked me up some delicious puree chicken, veg and potato soup. The venue and setting were perfect, even the weather was glorious, which for the North of Scotland is never a given.
The following week we had our two nieces to stay while the happy couple jetted off to New York on their honeymoon. Which meant my wife now had to care for me, our two kids and also our two nieces. To be fair, all the kids were good as gold, slept all night and most days they had something exciting like; trips to the beach, soft play cinema, park or library to look forward to. Unfortunately for me I couldn't get involved in any of the trips, not only would there have been no room in the car, I would never have been able to help out without causing myself more pain.
So whilst everyone was out enjoying themselves, I was at home struggling and letting everything get to me, which is not like me. So I called my GP for an appointment to discuss things and to see if there was anything that could be done. He was fantastic, it was so nice to be taken seriously and treated with compassion. He also suggested my mood might have been made worse as I was weaning off one of my pain medications, that was something that hadn't crossed my mind but after discussing it with him it made prefect sense. To top it off he even managed to get me referred back into hospital the following morning to see a senior consultant.
So the next morning, on our 5 year wedding anniversary, my wife was so busy with all the kids so instead my mum came over to collect me to take me into hospital. Which wasn't ideal, but I was feeling positive and determined to get answers. Ten weeks of going back and forth to the same ward you soon get to know familiar faces and everyone is so lovely, which is nice.
I went through the usual routine to see the on call consultant, only to be told that he didn't think there is anything extra they could do for me in hospital. I felt deflated; sent home in tears, in pain with no more answers, no plan, no closer to a diagnosis and not even an indication of treatment for the future. Just sent home to wait for an appointment.
We have also been urgently referred down to Edinburgh to see a highly recommended surgeon, so we are hopeful that he might have more options or answers for us and possibly in a shorter timescale. Until then all I can do is liase with my G.P and dietian to keep me comfortable and try not lose any more weight.
So that was my last two weeks and that's where we are now. We are playing the waiting game. I'm still nowhere near being fixed, but right now I'm okay. I'm at home with my wife, my kids, and I'm feeling happier in myself.
I'm sure I'll have many more hard days and weeks ahead, but that's okay and I know as a family we are stronger than ever and we'll get through them.
I live with multiple chronic illnesses, so your post really spoke to me.
It's hard most days, it's impossible others. But at the end of the day we're all just trying to live as normal and as happy as we can.
Hope something comes up in your favour soon dude. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Hang in there bud!
Cheers Shaun. How's Everly and the family?
It's okay, I'm always in pain but I have good and bad days. This week has been a good week so far.
Thanks. They certainly do that.
Thanks sis. I tried. Hopefully there are a few good pics and maybe one with me in it.
Hopefully soon, but God only knows when the surgery will be.
Sorry ot hear you are no closer to getting answers. That can be really frustrating. I like morphine but am currently not on pain medication. Nice to discover your blog.
Thank you for reading and commenting. Thai goodness for my family, they are my rock.
I think it's incredibly commendable that you're sharing every aspect of your journey. I'm inbetween appointments too and although its troubling and stressful it doesn't sound as painful.
Writing is good for the soul,I've recently written to get the anger of my situation off my chest then simply deleted it. It's a good way of dealing with those negative emotions.
I write constantly then delete it all. I always worry I'm sharing too much that nobody wants to read. Normally my illness posts do best so maybe people like to know what's happening. Plus some days It does help pick me up and gives me a purpose. Hope all is well with you too.
Thanks for sharing. Tough story. Hope things start to get more controllable for you soon. Don't delete the content. My instinct would be to share it all, worst case – archive it somewhere, don't delete.

@Michael Vogel I need to transform an incoming message in a wall-to-wall from an addon. I'm using the "post_local_end" hook to catch incoming messages and check if object-type is my custom one. Then I want to alter the incoming message into a wall-to-wall post. It's more or less how forums works. Any pointer on the best way to implement this?
