Do you have legacy hardware you haven't emulated yet? You're not alone. We find that many businesses hold off on emulating their hardware until they absolutely have to. If it's working, it may seem as if there's not much of an incentive to change anything–especially when changes cost money and require dedicated time.
The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality is often hard at work, but waiting to emulate legacy hardware until something breaks can be very expensive. Have you considered what that downtime would cost you?
Legacy systems aren't necessarily the most glamorous systems. As your business is modernizing on other fronts, these back-room systems can fall to the wayside. But shouldn't mission-critical apps be a priority?
Well, yes, emulation isn't free. But our solutions are often less that a single year's maintenance of the original hardware. And customers have seen annual maintenance fees reduced by as much as 90%. Read about it here.
While emulation can be a short-term solution before a full migration, it's also the long-term solution for many customers. If your business has a time-tested legacy app, it still has a long life ahead of it once you swap out the original hardware for an x86 or cloud environment.
We're always encountering customers who thought their only options were to buy spare parts for the legacy hardware or move to an entirely new platform. Emulation is the low-risk, cost-effective option employed by businesses around the world. If you're ready to consider emulating your hardware, contact us today.

Bergen-based weather intelligence and decision support services provider StormGeo announced at SMM that it has agreed to buy fellow Norwegian maritime charts supplier Nautisk from NHST Media Group for an undisclosed sum.
Nautisk CEO, Thomas Fjeld, told Seatrade Maritime News that he felt voyage optimization was more critical than ever for the shipping industry with the prospect of more expense fuels post 2020, as well as other factors such as the greater incidence of severe weather.
Vessels using the new service will be able to decide to change route while underway based on a real-time assessment of conditions and different route options, he added.
Nautisk is an established business since 1896, while StormGeo is a much younger company, originally spun off from a Norwegian television weather service. It took a big step up in 2014 with the acquisition of Applied Weather Technology (AWT) of the US, whose former offices in Silicon Valley remain one of StormGeo's main operational bases, employing a workforce of around 100 people.


It's Antiques 101. This is a pie safe.
Some of you are probably wondering about the previous post, wanting to know the why and the what for.
The why is easy. Because I needed to vent, and Americana Journal allowed me to do just that. The post was a primeval scream of frustration without piercing anyone's eardrums. It permitted me to ask, "Just what the heck were you thinking?" without stepping on anyone's toes. It enabled me to sigh heavily and roll my eyes without an audience to witness the exasperation.
Two photos and 20 words. That's all it took. And I felt soooooo much better.
But, I still have some complaining to do. The why was the easy part. The what for is a bit more complicated. At its most basic level I'd have to say the post was written to highlight the importance of accuracy.
Spend any time at all in the trenches of the antiques industry, and you'll hear the fretful conversations — questions about how to resurrect the trade, how to increase interest, how to attract new followers and revitalize current participants. Oh, the hand-wringing is intense at times, the angst palpable.
My advice: stop worrying about the big picture. Instead, spend your time and energy perfecting the close-up shots. We once read that the CEO of a major airline was quoted as saying, "If there are coffee stains on the lap trays, our passengers assume we don't do our engine maintenance." How true. For years those words of wisdom have been the unofficial motto of the Johnson household, and with good reason. Everything — life, love, happiness, success — when pared down to its essence, is all about the details.
So what does any of that have to do with antiques and Americana? It's simple. If, for example, one finds it necessary to identify an article of furniture — via price tag, photo caption, or Internet listing — it behooves one to do so correctly. Make a mistake in general classification, and everything else is thrown into question. Suddenly wood type, age, provenance, and value are swirling in a sea of suspicion.
And, it's not just the hapless dealer who's affected. Mall owners, show promoters, antiques aficionados — we're all given a collective black eye. Worse yet, we put up with it. We see the mistakes — surely we see them — but we just shrug and walk away.
Really?! That's all the better we police ourselves? If the industry wants respect, the industry has to earn it. And if we can't pass the basic Antiques 101 pie-safe-not-a-pie-safe quiz, then we still have a helluva lot of earning (and learning) left to do.
If your doctor insists your spleen is a lung, you'll be getting a second opinion… as well as a new medical practitioner. Crikey! Bad things could happen! You'd get off your duff and do something. But call a step-back cupboard a pie safe, and no one seems to care.
Oh, but wait, you say. A pie safe is not that big of a deal, and it's definitely not a matter of life and death. True enough. But, if Wheelin' & Dealin' Bob assures me the green '07 Toyota Highlander sitting on the lot is a subcompact, you can darn well bet I'm off to make an automotive purchase elsewhere. My point is this: we have standards and expectations in place for even the lowest of the low — the used-car salesman — but we don't bother when it comes to antiques. Shame on us.
I'll be blunt. If you don't know the difference between a pie safe and a cupboard, you've got no business working in the antiques trade.

The Current State of Canadian Fintech Adoption
Summarizing The $3.6 Trillion Fintech Opportunity
Forbes contributor and investor at Bain Capital Ventures, Matthew Harris recently wrote a two-part Forbes article called Fintech: The Fourth Platform. In the articles, he discusses the future of financial technology (or fintech) companies and how a major shift to fintech as 'the fourth platform' will create $3.6 trillion of value. That is five times the revenue multiple that the internet, cloud, and mobile platforms produced altogether upon startup at just under $3 trillion.
In other words, Harris sees fintech as a huge opportunity.
Here's why we're listening: Harris bet on fintech two decades ago, back when Venture Capital investment in financial services was non-existent. Today, these financial technology companies represent 14% of venture business. In 2018 alone, fintech startups raised nearly $40 billion. Bain Capital Ventures has invested over $700 million in fintech companies over the past seven years—and they're turning their attention to companies that use fintech embedded in their business models and tech stacks, rather than as a primary business model.
Let's unpack and summarize the opportunity that Harris presented in Fintech: The Fourth Platform.
Fintech and our current technology stack
Harris first defines fintech as "taking a well-known financial product" and "building software to make it digitally accessible as well as easier and more elegant to buy and use." However, as with earlier disruptors (and our current technology stack) the internet, cloud, and mobile, fintech has the potential to develop beyond its original use-cases and become embedded in everyday business and life.
He describes fintech's potential in relation to a trend: "the internet comes along and people rebuild old stuff on it. Then they build brand new stuff with connectivity as a key ingredient." The internet first developed online versions of businesses and then transitioned to create new functionality and connectivity. The cloud began by hosting accessible software and transitioning to create SaaS products, new applications, and cloud intelligence. The third member of the tech stack, mobile, transitioned from small desktop versions of websites to create entirely new mobile-centric apps like social media, video, maps, and photos.
Harris argues that fintech is up next.
Embedding financial services into business models and technology
Harris explains that financial functionality is quickly becoming a native component of both the technology stack (internet, cloud, mobile) and as a business model. For example, financial functions such as payments and lending have embedded themselves into the tech stacks of many businesses today.
Take Uber, for example. The entire payment transaction takes place within Uber's software application, making it a smooth and user-friendly experience. As Harris puts it, "having these financial functions integrated with software enables new functionality, leveraging the persistent connection to move beyond transactions to relationships."
Having embedded financial services inside a business opens a world of opportunity for making data-driven, smart decisions that will benefit the end-user and the business. It also reduces the risk of payment issues and could lead to increased opportunities to sell, market, and grow.
The benefits of integrating digital payments
Harris uses Shopify as a great example of a successful ($36 billion) software company that gets most of its revenue from payments. Shopify basically provides highly functioning, integrated shopping cart software to small businesses and e-commerce startups.
But the trend takes place beyond technology companies. Eight percent of payment card volume in the U.S., Harris states, has moved to an integrated payment, where payments are managed through third-party software companies, such as our own. That number is growing quickly.
Analysts predict that 40% of the payments industry will move to an embedded model. Harris explains that most financial innovation begins with the evolution of payments. In other words, the fourth platform shift to fintech is still in its infancy but has much potential.
As a fintech company that digitizes direct payments, VoPay is a proud contributor to advancing fintech to be a fourth layer of the technology stack and of business models cross-industry. Our payment software connects digital enterprises to banking systems to streamline payments and boost experience into the future.

Senator to USCIRF: Canada Needs To Be Put On Watch List for Religious Freedom
July 1, 2021 by Staff
Missouri's Republican Senator Josh Hawley made news last week when he made a plea to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) to consider placing Canada on the Watch List because of its ongoing, strict COVID-19 lockdowns that have resulted in pastor arrests and seizures of church property.
On Thursday, June 24, 2021, Sen. Hawley sent a letter to USCIRF that cited instances of Canada's government arresting and jailing Canadian pastors because they disobeyed government COVID-19 health orders while holding worship services.
Sen. Hawley: 'Freedom Is in Peril'
Last year the senator urged the Department of Justice to bring federal lawsuits against states infringing upon the rights of people to worship. Citing last year's suggestion, he wrote, "Now I am writing to express my deep concern that this freedom is in peril across our nation's northern border."
Sen. Hawley mentioned Canadian pastors James Coates, who spent 35 days in jail for refusing to restrict the number of church members during worship services, and Tim Stephens, who is currently in jail for the second time after holding an outdoor worship service that was witnessed by police helicopter. Grace Community Church, where pastor Coates serves, was seized because the church refused to stop holding worship services. The building was scheduled to be returned to them on July 1, 2021, because Alberta started lifting COVID-19 rules and restrictions on that date.
"I am troubled that our Canadian neighbors are effectively being forced to gather in secret, undisclosed locations to exercise their basic freedom to worship," Sen. Hawley said. "The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that "[e]veryone has the following fundamental freedoms," which include the "freedom of conscience and religion." The arrests and actions taken to enforce overly burdensome and unjustified orders, however, do not seem to live up to this praiseworthy statement. Frankly, I would expect this sort of religious crackdown in Communist China, not in a prominent Western nation like Canada."
Hawley urged the USCIRF to take necessary action, saying the Canadian government's arrests and church property seizures "constitute systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom." Sen. Hawley asked USCIRF to consider adding Canada to the Commission's Watch List due to its actions.
Missouri's senator failed to mention the other notable pastor who has made news, Polish-Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who was handcuffed and literally dragged off to jail along with his brother for "organizing an illegal in-person gathering."
Pastor Coates' wife, Erin, posted an image of Sen. Hawley's letter and wrote, "Guys this is AMAZING! Pastor Tim's brother working hard to release Tim and get the word out. Saints keep praying!! Thank you @senatorhawley for being a voice for us when so many of is feel silenced! Canadians, send this letter to our governing authorities- @jkenney @tylershandro MP's, MLA's #freepastortim"
Read Sen. Hawley's entire letter here.
Some Disagree With Sen. Hawley
Calgary's Rev. Ray Matheson doesn't believe that during a global pandemic that has killed millions worldwide is the time or place for Christians to disobey the government authorities. He said in an interview, "Our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ around the world would not call what is happening here persecution." These pastors should be using their churches to "creatively serve people" instead of fighting government
Rev. Scott Sharman shared his thoughts with a local paper: "People's religious freedoms have been spoken to and protected, but also the faiths that are being protected [must] sometimes put their talk of rights aside when it's to the benefits of others."

It's been a real treat.
These two little nerdos have been inseparable the past few days. Tanner is so sweet with Graham, "babysitting" him carefully and playing with him patiently even when he is grumpy/grabby/grouchy. He absolutely adores her and follows her around the house everywhere. It's been really fun to watch them form a bond.
She even let him wear her FROZEN slippers! The true sign of friendship.
This week has been tons of fun with lots of family in town. Maybe it was hanging around with an older crowd, but it seemed G suddenly blossomed into more of a kid that a baby. He loved wrestling with his cousins and was able to run around with them more easily than we expected. And they sweetly included him in all they did.
Just one of the gang.
Hope your Christmas was magical.
Ours was lovely, filled with tea, chocolate, surprises, light sabers, hugs, giggles and grins.
And more light sabers. So many light sabers.
For those about to rock, Merry Christmas.
Everybody here is on the nice list, right?
Now we just need snow!


In 1884. RIVAL. griffon d'arrêt français, 20 mois. MARRON ET GRIS, mélangé(...) 1er prix et médaille d'or Paris 1881.à M Emmanuel Boulet.Elbeuf.
RALPHE, barbet griffon mâle, blanc et taches oranges...oh my.
If either of these 2 colors comes out in a litter? oh, my.
Gray-black...there is not a comma between gray and black, as there was by mistake afterwards.. there were no gray Barbets and after a short exchange yesterday with another Barbet historian, I still comme to the conclusion that there were no solid black Barbet*, meaning Griffons, back in those days.
This Barbet looks a lot like the one the standard was written for in 1891( and validated in 94). Visualize her with gray mixed in with the brown.... or even some black and we're back to the Bouvier de Flandres( or some other shepherd breeds), and R'Lucky the Barbet registered in 1968, Hera, >Helios and then some. All in the Barbochos Reiau de Prouvenco.
Then, you can begin to understand how it is all coming together.
Of course, there are probably some exceptions and soem black Barbets probably did exist, but were they Griffons? Not sure.
The Black color, could have come in the 1970's/80's from the Chien de Crau. Not that far away!
" Show me the Mother, the Father, the siblings". Homogeneity?
What do you know about ancestry, character or any problems?
Have you seen photos of the ancestors and which traits they sent down?
What is the objective of having the dog? You looking to help save the breed or???
Mating just about anything to just about anything else is suicidal.
These people are also present at most dog shows, in France.
It has taken a couple of weeks,me not having a warped mind, to try and figure out what warranted the xxxx pages document( all rehash) sent around by the Barbet re-incarnator who had gone silent since the elections...Mighty strange.There was nothing new in it but something prompted it.
I guessed me saying the Barbet was a "silky coated" dog may have.
I had to take the time to think and find elements to prove what he is saying is totally false.
One with long and silky coat, and the other with a short harsh coat( meaning the Korthals).
written by the Baron Bellier de Villiers.
remember the standard was going to be written in 1891.
It says any coat color not accepted in the standard...2006, below, is not accepted.
COLOUR: Solid black, grey, brown, fawn, pale fawn, white or more or less pied( pied meaning white and balck or vice versa, ouf because that is also a PWD color). All shades of red-fawn and pale fawn are permitted. [color=#FF0000]The shade should, preferably, be the same as the colour of the body.
as long as it doesn't come from 1970 or before, anything is admitted?
What is this color business doing? How many are really concerned? OR are we anticipating more Heras or R'Luckys coming out to prove that recessive genes come from somewhere? AND must be abolished along with any "old blood" that could come out?
As most/all know, one of the first self proclaimed missions of our resposible was wanting to enforce the non- confirmation points of the Barbet. Nothing about short ears, short tails or tail over the back, or no angulations.Of course not. Nothing about all the different shapes and ( sizes)morphology we see ( genetic diversity?)...meaning no homogeneity in the breed or very little?
No. Only colors, and the eternal poodle tight frizzy curls.
The Bouvier as an example....since there is Bouvier in the Barbet.( and vice versa)Hard to tell!
Bottom line...It's the breed who is losing.


You think there's someone or something missing in your life. There is.
You won't yet know just how much of yourself is missing, not until you find her. You do know you're not fully here. You know there are parts of you you're still not at ease with. Parts you've detached from, parts you're avoiding even.
What you don't yet know is just how incredibly powerful and vibrantly alive you're going to feel when you call those parts of yourself home and integrate them back into you.
Those may just sound like words. And that may just sound like a pipe dream.
Well I can tell you what I know.
It means getting up everyday and loving who you are no matter whether you're waking up to your greatest love or just yourself.
It's feeling 100% confident that everything's as it should be. Because you're here, doing you, and that's what you came here for. No matter what, it's all perfect.
It's feeling alive, and happy for no reason other than you are alive and you are happy. You can't not be. Because all the sh*t that was bothering and blocking you, it's just not there anymore.
It's dating without expectation, being wide open and deeply anchored into the moment, and it's being absolutely magnet because you are.
It's reigniting the spark in your relationship because you've finally reignited the spark in yourself.
And fire spreads, wild and free.
It's being that person. The one you always wanted to be.
The one who's comfortable in her own skin.
The one who doesn't need approval.
The one who doesn't need validation.
The one who doesn't need to be in control or manipulate or ask or check or be reassured that she's loved and respected and valued.
She filled those needs by herself.
And because she did she attracts every filled need right back to her in abundance.
You don't yet know how much of you you're missing, but when you find your authentic self, when you bring her home, you will never, ever, ever lose yourself again.
Because when you know yourself, when you feel yourself heart and soul, you see your true self, it's game on.
And finally you're in this life to truly live.
And you'll never want to live without you again.

Shine è un album discografico di Cyndi Lauper pubblicato nel 2004 dalla Sony Music Japan.

Il disco

Produzione
L'album Shine è un album pop-rock, filtrato con un tono più o meno marcato, sia da elementi di musica elettronica, presenti nella maggior parte delle canzoni, che da strumenti come il sitar ed il fiddle.

Tematiche
Le canzoni non sono legate l'una all'altra da un tema in particolare, ma spaziano su argomenti di ogni tipo.

Brani
La canzone "Shine" ha un testo molto semplice, e risulta, concettualmente, sulla falsariga della canzone True Colors.

"It's Hard to Be Me"  («È difficile essere me») è stata scritta insieme a William Wittman e Rob Hyman, per alcune cadute accidentali della Lauper, dal palco, durante le sue esibizioni, ed in maniera del tutto inconsapevole riguardo al processo ad Anna Nicole Smith. In realtà It's Hard to be me è un brano di autocoscienza in cui la Lauper si mette in discussione e critica il giudizio negativo che gli altri hanno su di lei. Declinando l'offerta fatta nel 2002 da Anna Nicole Smith, per utilizzare "It's Hard To Be Me" nel reality show The Anna Nicole Show, per Cyndi Lauper questo brano è un ritorno alle origini ed è molto ben riuscito nelle esibizioni live, dove riacquista un tono di un certo spessore, con uno stile quasi punk-rock.

In Madonna Whore la Lauper analizza, da un punto di vista femminile, il complesso che secondo la psicoanalisi freudiana gli uomini hanno sulle donne.

Nell'album viene ripreso, con un nuovo arrangiamento, anche "Who Let In The Rain", in origine pubblicato nell'album Hat Full of Stars del 1993.

Pubblicazione
L'album Shine era già pronto nel 2001, quando erano state fatte circolare delle copie promozionali stampate dalla Edel Music. A causa della bancarotta della casa discografica Edel, Cyndi Lauper riesce a salvare e a riavere i diritti di alcuni brani che riesce a far pubblicare in un EP omonimo, ed in un Singolo Remix, da una casa discografica indipendente, la Oglio Records.

Rispetto alla versione promozionale della Edel, l'album Shine, pubblicato nel 2004 dalla Sony Music Japan, prevede l'aggiunta di un ulteriore canzone (I Miss My Baby).

Promozione
La promozione di "Shine" avviene nel periodo in cui Cyndi Lauper promuove sia l'EP Shine, nel 2002, ed anche nel 2003, durante la partecipazione, come supporter, al "Farewell Tour" di Cher, quando tramite la Oglio Records riesce a pubblicare Shine Remixes.

L'album Shine è stato pubblicato ufficialmente solo in Giappone, qualche tempo più tardi, nel 2004, dove Cyndi Lauper è ancora sotto contratto con la Epic.

Shine e It's Hard to Be Me sono stati presentati, durante la promozione dell'EP Shine, anche nel programma "Music Summer Fest" sull'emittente NBC5 di Chicago, in cui Cyndi Lauper si esibisce in due momenti distinti della trasmissione TV.

Poco prima lo smembramento della casa discografica Edel, il brano Shine viene presentato e mandato in onda dalla rete televisiva A&E, nel programma "Pop Goes The 4th", nel 2001, in una performance dal vivo in cui Cyndi Lauper è accompagnata da un'intera orchestra.

Water's Edge è stata utilizzato nel film diretto da Elisabeth Dimon, Island Of The Damned (Terror Island).

List & Guides
From Glastonbury to Download, weekender marathons to one-day extravaganzas, the best music festivals of 2023 cater to everyone's needs.
Izzy Sigston
Whether you're desperate to get ankle-deep in mud while belting out rock anthems at the top your voice in the middle of a field, or fancy chasing up-and-coming artists around smaller gig venues in city pubs, the best music festivals of 2023 have everything you could wish for. Glastonbury Festival remains the headliner, but favourites such as Boardmasters, Truck and The Great Escape all deserve notice. Find out why – and who's playing – below…
Listen to our 'Summer' playlist here, and check out our best music festivals of 2023, below.
When: 21-25 June
Where: Worthy Farm, Somerset
There's no argument that Glastonbury Festival is the UK's flagship music festival. Spread over 900 acres of land and boasting more than 70 performance spaces, it's definitely going to be one of the best music festivals of 2023, and its increasing popularity shows no sign of slowing down – tickets for this year's Glastonbury went on sale on 6 November 2022 and, as usual, were snapped up at lightning speed. Those who emerged from the booking war zone clutching precious tickets to their chest will be lucky enough to see Elton John perform the final UK show of his Farwell Yellow Brick Road Tour, while the likes of Blur, Harry Styles, Kraftwerk, Elton John and Taylor Swift have all been rumoured to fill 2023's remaining headline slots.
Boardmasters Festival
When: 9-13 August
Where: Fistral Beach, Newquay
Not your average festival, Boardmasters ties together everything you'd want in one of the best music festivals of 2023, with the added extra of surfing and skateboarding competitions set right next to the site, on Fistral Beach. Situated deep into the West Country, it's perhaps not the most accessible festival to get to, but Boardmasters always manages to create a line-up so attractive that even citizens of John O'Groats would be tempted to make the journey. The stellar first wave of artists set to play at the three-day event includes former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, art-rock queen Florence + The Machine and multi-award-winning rapper Little Simz.
The Great Escape Festival
When: 10-13 May
Where: Brighton, East Sussex
If tents, Portaloos and spending the entire weekend walking around a field isn't your thing, then The Great Escape Festival is for you. Set in what is arguably the coolest city in the UK, TGE takes place in the heart of Brighton and showcases over 500 up-and-coming artists from all over the world, in 35 venues, all within easy walking distance of each other. Past line-ups have featured future hitmakers such as Sigrid, Michael Kiwanuka and Stormzy, making it the perfect opportunity to update your Spotify playlist and brag to your mates about how the next BRITs Rising Star was that act you once caught a glimpse of in the back of a seaside pub.
Where: Heaton Park, Manchester
Isn't it ironic that a music festival in Manchester is named Parklife? We think it'd be more apt if they'd named it Supersonic… Geared towards rap music, with infusions of pop, the festival vibrates with a youthful energy that attracts thousands of punters each year, with 2023's allocated pre-sale tickets selling out before the line-up was even announced. Stepping just to the side of typical stage design and other creative elements, Parklife unveils a ludicrous new aesthetic each year, with past favourites ranging from industrial set-ups to tangled jungle-themed vibes.
Isle Of Wight Festival
Where: Newport, Isle Of Wight
The one that's like the UK's version of the original Woodstock? Yep, that's Isle Of Wight Festival. The family-friendly weekender that caters for all music preferences has been a firm favourite since its revival in 2002, and if you can't make an overseas jaunt, IOW is definitely a fine alternative among the best music festivals of 2023 – complete with a short ferry ride, you can almost treat it like the UK's version of Primavera. This year's line-up boasts an eclectic mix, including headliners George Ezra, Pulp and Robbie Williams, and supporting slots from Echo And The Bunnymen and Sam Ryder.
When: 8-11 June
Where: Donington Park, Derby
One of the only UK festivals where you're guaranteed to get what you've paid for, Download Festival is laden with headbanging crowds letting loose to heavy metal and emo bands. This year Download also celebrates its 20th anniversary, and its line-up features over 60 acts, including star-studded headliners Bring Me The Horizon, Slipknot and Metallica. One perfect for not only the metal-heads, but for those who want to avoid what some may call the more "precious" tastes that festivals aim to cater for these days, Download is a no-frills experience where gourmet food options are nowhere to be seen. Still, its inclusion among the best music festivals of 2023 is mandatory, thanks to its sole purpose: to provide the best environment for the most intense mosh pits of all time.
Truck Festival
When: 21-23 July
Where: Steventon, Oxfordshire
For those who miss the days when Reading and Leeds Festivals appeased the indie-rock kids, Truck is the little festival where everything is scaled down to evoke nostalgia for that bygone era. Line-ups over the past few years have included some of the biggest names in British indie-rock, from Sam Fender to Wolf Alice and Catfish And The Bottlemen. With the top-tier camping package coming in at £225 (plus booking fee), it's a fun and affordable favourite among the best music festivals of 2023.
Reading and Leeds Festivals
When: 25-27 August
Where: Reading, Berkshire | Leeds, West Yorkshire
Recent line-up experiments may have raised eyebrows in some quarters, but Reading and Leeds Festivals continue to tease audiences new and old with the impressive acts they manage to snag each year. Last year, Reading and Leeds attracted a shed-load of Arctic Monkeys devotees after securing the Sheffield icons for a UK festival exclusive, and yet they still brought grime fans to the party on the strength of highly anticipated slots from Dave and Megan Thee Stallion – how often do you see a mix like that? This year, feather boas may well be up against sad girlies, with headliner rumours circling around Harry Styles and Billie Eilish.
All Points East
When: Various August dates
Where: Victoria Park, London
Sometimes a day festival is as far as you can go – and that's OK, All Points East is here for you. Set in Victoria Park, this London-based festival takes places on various dates across the summer, in order to cater to specific music tastes. Last year, All Points East delivered headline performances from Tame Impala, The National, The Chemical Brothers, Charli XCX and Gorillaz, all on separate days across two weeks in August. Always an ideal way to round off summer, its highly anticipated line-up will doubtless make it one of best music festivals of 2023.
Where: Henham Park, Suffolk
An all-encompassing experience of music, arts and comedy, Latitude Festival is the perfect event for those who aren't quite ready to tackle the trials and tribulations of Glastonbury. 2023's line-up sees Pulp, Paolo Nutini and George Ezra on the main stage, as well as a bunch of other fantastic musicians who will take up position across the site. And Latitude isn't just for adults, either – it's kid-friendly, providing plenty of fun and immersive activities for the little ones to occupy themselves with while you have a craft beer or two as you relive Britpop's heyday.
Check out the new albums to look out for in 2023, and prime yourself for the festival bangers that will rule this year's stages.

5 Wellness Pros' Must-Buys at Trader Joe's
Updated Apr 23, 2018 @ 10:21 am
BY: Tatiana Hollander-Ho
By Leah Vanderveldt
Healthy food has a rep for being super-pricey. That's why we're psyched to see cheap eats haven Trader Joe's offering cauliflower pizza crusts, riced broccoli, grass-fed butter, and other good-for-you essentials. We polled some of our favorite wellness pros to find out what's always in their carts (aside from the Joe Joe's–or is that just us?).
Jessica Murnane
Women's health advocate, podcaster, author of One Part Plant
TJ's pick: Unsweetened acai packs
"The reason these packs are great is that they are just the acai, which is awesome," she says. "So many of the acai packs on the market have added sugar or other ingredients, which seems unnecessary. I always blend them with a greens powder or spinach, and you can't even taste the greens. Great for a newbie greens eater, for kids, or if you're getting bored with your green smoothies." (Bonus: Check out her recipe for acai bowls.)
Kelly Ohnona
Holistic health coach
TJ's picks: Red lentil sedanini pasta, tahini
"The red lentil sedanini is a very good gluten-free, vegan alternative to regular pasta," Ohnona says. "If you need to increase your protein intake because you're a vegetarian, you're working out, or you're iron deficient, lentils are great for you, and this product puts them in pasta form. It's very versatile and cooks in 10 minutes. I like it with olive oil, pine nuts and sometimes I'll make a 2-minute sauce with tomatoes and spinach sautéed in a pan." Tahini is one of my favorite items ever," she adds. "I use it in my dressings all the time to make them creamy, mixing it with maple syrup, cumin, lemon, sesame oil, and mustard. I also use lots of tahini when I make my own hummus."
Talia Pollack
Plant-based chef, health coach
TJ's picks: Baked black-bean chips, cauliflower rice, spices
"I'm in love with Trader Joe's because it's the only place on the planet where I can reliably find delicious baked tortilla chips for a Saturday guac and Netflix night," Pollack says. "It's so nice having chips that are crispy but aren't deep fried so they don't have that added fat and, more importantly, don't upset my stomach.
"Having cauliflower rice that is already 'riced' for me is a godsend," she adds. "It's really convenient and makes it worlds easier to eat cauliflower rice on the reg."
Plus, "Nothing beats TJ's spices," she says. "They're affordable and they have every kind. I rely heavily on spices to give my healthy food some flava-flava."
Kayleen St. John
Registered dietitian, executive director of nutrition and strategic development at Euphebe
TJ's pick: Steamed and peeled baby beets
"These make adding beets to a salad or sautéed dish a breeze," St. John says. "Beets are a great source of dietary nitrates (and no, not the kind added to preserve deli meats). Naturally occurring dietary nitrates help to vasodilate our blood vessels and make it easier for our bodies to transport oxygen to our muscles. I love to add these beets to a jewel-toned root vegetable sauté or as a shortcut for a marinated beet salad. Or I like to toss a few beets into plain hummus for a beet-y, pink update."
Amie Valpone
Chef, wellness consultant and author of Eating Clean
TJ's pick: Nuts and seeds
"Walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds–they're incredibly fresh and easy to use in recipes," Valpone says. "They also pack a punch of protein, fiber and loads of nutrients in every bite. I'm a huge fan of eating a good amount of healthy fats every day because they're so important for our health, especially for women and their hormones. I often take a handful of every nut and seed I purchase and toss them into my food processor to make a delicious nut/seed butter for the week. It's so easy to add to oatmeal, smoothies, salad dressings and as a drizzle for roasted veggies with a pinch of sea salt. I also love to carry TJs' bags of nuts and seeds around New York City with me for a snack when I get hungry in-between meals and I feel my blood sugar dropping, instead of looking for a vending machine or candy, which is what most of my clients often reach for."

Are you still fatigued after implementing steps 1-4?
Add these next three small steps to complete your energy building repertoire!
Note: This is the second article in two-part series. Make sure to check out Overcoming fatigue steps 1-4 before starting with this one!
When energy levels are low, the thought of massive change is paralyzing. You read a well-intentioned doctors' advice about overcoming fatigue by "simply" eliminating nightshades, grains, gluten, eggs, nuts, and seeds.
What the heck are you supposed to eat then?
Implementing a diet like that requires a massive amount of effort. And effort requires energy. A resource you currently do not have enough of.
Worry not. This is the second article in a two-part series. I've created seven small steps you can take to start overcoming fatigue. They're so small that you can probably have them all implemented within two weeks! Be sure to check out Overcoming Fatigue steps 1-4 first.
Just because these are small steps does not mean they're ineffective. If you implement all seven, I'm confident you'll notice an increase in your energy.
I'm going to jump right back in with the last three steps you can take towards overcoming fatigue. We start this post with number five.
I've gone on and on about how your blood sugar contributes to fatigue and how carbohydrate intolerance leads to blood sugar irregularities. If you want to overcome fatigue, you need to balance your blood sugar. This step cannot be skipped.
Fortunately, you can take some simple steps that will have a profound effect on blood sugar balancing. No diet overhauls needed.
To have balanced blood sugar, I want you to remove foods that are known to be hidden dietary causes of blood sugar irregularities.
Yes, even the sugar-free, calorie-free varieties.
Sugar-free drinks are being connected to gut issues like IBS. It's thought that their effect on your blood sugar could actually more problematic than originally thought.
To balance your blood sugar, ensure you're avoiding all pops and sodas.
Contrary to what you may have read on the internet, juice fasts or cleanses are not a way to overcome fatigue.
When you juice a fruit, you remove all the fiber. Fiber helps to balance your blood sugar. Without fiber, a glass of juice is just another high-sugar drink.
A glass of juice will have around 20 grams of sugar in it. To put that in perspective, a can of pop has 24 grams – only four grams more sugar in it.
Juice is one of those sneaky foods that tend to upset your blood sugar. To overcome fatigue, stop drinking juice!
These delectable morsels are secretly high in sugar. Very high. If you're wanting to overcome fatigue, I recommend you avoid them entirely.
Avoid: mangos, pineapples, melons, bananas, figs, grapes, and lychee.
In place of tropical fruits, opt for blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries. These fruits have far lower sugar content which will help keep your blood sugar balanced.
That's it. Start with these three. Just by removing tropical fruits, juice, and pop you'll notice improvements in your blood sugar. If you've already done this and your blood sugar is still imbalanced, check out our course on how to Stop Feeding Fatigue!
The average North American gets 40-60% of her daily calories from carbohydrates. If you're eating 1500 calories a day, that's over 700 calories that are coming by way of carbohydrates.
The average ketogenic dieter gets 10-20% of her calories from carbohydrates. It is this restriction of carbohydrates that pushes the body to stop running on sugar (carbohydrates) and start running on fat (ketones).
Humans are unique in that they are duel-fuel burners. Meaning that you can run on either sugar or ketones. This flexibility in your metabolism is likely what kept your ancestors alive during periods of near-starvation. And it's this two-fuel system that can help you optimize your energy levels.
There are fewer chemical reactions needed to convert carbohydrates to energy than fats to energy. This is why the ketogenic diet recommends dramatically reducing your carbohydrate intake. The carbohydrate reduction will force your body into using ketones as its energy source.
But starting a ketogenic diet is a massive step. And this post is all about small steps you can take to increase your energy. Fortunately, technology has created a way for you to get some of the ketogenic benefits without embracing a full-blown ketogenic diet.
One way to keep your blood sugar balanced is to eat on a regular basis. But that too can be an all-out effort. Instead, try adding something called MCT oil to your diet. You're going to want to use MCT oil that is exclusively C8 chains (Caprylic Acid).
MCT oil stands for medium chain triglycerides. It's a specific chain of fat found in coconut oil. MCT oil is colorless, odorless, and stays liquid at room temperature. It's a great addition to smoothies, salad dressings, and even coffee!
When you typically eat a fat source, your body has to digest the fat in order to extract the energy. With MCT oil, you get to skip the digestion and the MCTs go right to your liver. There, they are broken down into ketones (aka – energy). Essentially, MCT oil is liquid energy.
Should you start supplementing with C8 MCT oil, you'll quickly have ketones circulating in your blood – just like someone in ketosis. The next time you get hungry, your body has a backup fuel source. This alleviates your need to eat every hour. The circulating ketones will keep your brain well fed between meals. This will help to balance your blood sugar.
One tablespoon of MCT oil each day should be more than enough to get some ketones circulating through your blood. And with ketones in your blood, you're one step closer to getting rid of fatigue!
I know I talked about reducing your stress and how stress contributes to fatigue. This negative type of stress needs to be managed as best as possible. But Eustress, or, positive stress can be a stress that actually benefits your body!
Autophagy is one of those eustresses that you should incorporate into your fatigue-beating routine. Autophagy is a Greek word for self-devouring. Within your body, autophagy refers to the process that occurs when your cells devour unnecessary or dysfunctional components. It's one of the healthiest cellular processes you can get your body to do!
Autophagy can be so beneficial that researchers are thinking it may be essential in preventing diseases like cancer. (2) Autophagy in mice has been shown to decrease autoimmunity and even regenerate the myelin on nerves. (3) Think of autophagy as hitting the reset button on your cells. Just like how a reset on your computer helps it run better, autophagy can help your body run better.
Do you know what the number one sign of forthcoming autoimmunity is?
Autophagy could very well be your ticket towards higher energy!
How do you induce autophagy?
Autophagy occurs in response to stress. One simple stress that is a great way to induce autophagy is calorie restriction or fasting.
But you're fatigued. You need energy from food. Fasting sounds exhausting.
What I'm referencing here is something called intermittent fasting. You will not need to avoid food for days. Hours will be more than enough time to induce autophagy. Intermittent fasting involves abstaining from food for a particular length of time through the day. Even if you suffer from extreme fatigue you'll be able to complete intermittent fasting.
A simple way to get started with intermittent fasting is to restrict your food consumption window to a 6-8 hour period of the day. For example, you would eat all your meals between noon and six/eight PM. A bulletproof coffee for breakfast (which is outside your food consumption window when intermittent fasting) is just fine.
If the idea of fasting does not sit well with you, a ketogenic diet also causes autophagy.
Some quick cautions on fasting: those of you who tend towards the extreme end of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may not do well with fasting. If you're pregnant and/or breastfeeding, autophagy will have to wait.
Ok, there you have it, the final three small steps you can take (today!) to start overcoming fatigue.
If you have any other suggestions, leave them in the comments section below!

The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, DPT, is an organization which combined of the Department of Public Work and the Department of Town and Country Planning as an agency of the Ministry of Interior.

Background of establishment
The Department of Public Works (DP) was established in 1889.

Three years after the Siamese revolution of 1932, in 1935, Phraya Pakit Kolasart, Chief Engineer, started the Town Planning Division (TPD) under Luang Burakam Kowit (หลวงบุรกรรมโกวิท) of the Department of Public Work (DP). In 1937, the TPD was briefly promoted to Department status, but in 1942, the TPD was demoted back to a Division and changed to the Technical and Town Planning Division. In 1944, the TPD re-established as a Division within the Department of Public and Municipal Works, which was placed under the Prime Minister.

In 1961, the DP led by Luang Yuktasevi Vivat proposed policies to Sarit cabinet, firstly, to implement land use planning for Bangkok and Thonburi, secondly, to promote the TPD from Division to Department. The Department of Town and Country Planning (DT) quickly established in 1962 with only eleven employees transferred from Bangkok and Thonburi municipalities and Public Works Department Town Planning Office.

The DT started to design the planning throughout the nation in 2002, which concerned only at regional level to provincial level. Local area such as municipality or sub-district level were ignored.

Due to the government's policy of bureaucratic restructuring in 2002, the DP and DT were combined into the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning (DPT).
