Guide To The Basics of Structural Pruning
When a tree grows in the forest, it will have few, if any, low hanging branches since these trees compete with each other for the sunlight. In comparison, a free-standing tree in your yard is free to grow wide and nourish even its lowest of branches. However, this comes with a price. A tree with

Heavy industries are the backbone of America. From coal mines to steel mills, the industries still in business today have helped to fuel the growth of America for more than one hundred years. However, this growth has also resulted in exposure to toxic substances by those who are working in such industries as well as in the home. Families as well as individuals have been affected by such exposures which have led to a serious medical condition or even death.
Personal injury attorney Joseph R. Donohue is prepared to assist you with any toxic substance claim. Mr. Donohue will use his knowledge and experience as a personal injury attorney of Boston to determine if you have a case and seek financial recovery. Such issues included in the toxic substance category include asbestos, coal dust, lead, cobalt, mercury, hard and heavy metals. Individuals can be affected on the job as well as the home, even for a short period and be greatly affected for the remainder of life.
Experience is Necessary
To determine if you have a case, working with an experienced personal injury attorney is a must. Mr. Donohue can help you by investigating the origins of your claim to be able to identify and then prosecute those who are liable for your injuries or even death of a loved one.

Mr. Donohue has the skills and legal resources that will assist you in holding those who harmed you accountable for any medical complications you may have experienced due to toxic substance exposure.
Medical Complications from Toxic Exposure
There are several medical complications that can result from toxic exposure that can result in a legal claim. On the job, you may be exposed to substances that cause mesothelioma or asbestosis. Perhaps you have encountered substances in the drinking water of your home and suffered from birth defects within a pregnancy. Mental impairments can result from exposure of certain chemicals as well as growth stunted or poor motor skills in children.
If you believe that you or a loved one have been exposed to a toxic substance, it is essential that you contact Mr. Donohue, a personal injury attorney of Boston, today. This will allow Mr. Donohue to assess your injuries and look over your individual case. Compensation may need to be sought for the long-term care or the recovery process due to your injuries.

In today's business environment competing on price alone is a risky policy. In this context, improving customer retention becomes attractive as a means of generating repeat business, especially if it can be achieved with relatively little extra effort. One insurance company, Nationwide Insurance, found that increasing customer retention by as little as 1% led to a rise in annual premiums of more than £0.6 million*.
Boosting customer retention will benefit from delivering high standards of customer service, such as improving the speed, accuracy and quality of responses to customers and exploiting each point of contact to positively influence the customer relationship.
Avoid keeping the customer waiting
Much of the interaction with customers takes place via documents such as application forms, claims, supporting documents, change requests or letters of complaint. When dealing with high volumes of such inbound documents on a daily basis it is easy to see how delays, backlogs and lost or misfiled items can have a negative effect.
So how can scanning these incoming documents help with customer service?
With document scanning software such as Kofax Capture, all incoming documents can be converted to digital images as they arrive. Indexing the captured documents enables efficient filing and retrieval which ensures they do not get lost, while significantly improving traceability as they move through the system.
Document recognition and data extraction software such as Kofax Transformation Modules can automate the classification of these incoming documents by type, enabling them to be sorted and routed to the correct handler or workflow much faster than can be done manually.
As a result, document scanning software can be used to reduce backlogs by removing paper and expediting the receiving, sorting and routing process. Documents can be tagged with the appropriate level of priority to ensure prompt actioning.
Straight-forward integration with back end systems means customer-facing staff can view captured documents on screen without having to leave their CRM or other line of business application, enabling them to deal with customer enquiries much more effectively.
Visibility and workload balancing
Backlogs and delays in dealing with customer orders, claims or applications can also result from poor process visibility and workload imbalances.
Document scanning and capture addresses this problem by enabling the use of dashboards and reporting. This allows monitoring of inbound document volumes for given processes, allowing managers to adjust workloads and avoid bottlenecks.
Automatic classification of documents as complaints means they enter the correct workflow with appropriate priority settings. Indexing captured documents according to the dates by which responses must be given also allows generation of automated alerts when these risk falling overdue.
UK Kofax reseller Data Capture Solutions report how they have been able to help clients integrate Kofax Capture with workflow management software to enable automated tracking and monitoring of documents and avoid backlogs in approvals workflows.
Preferred channels of interaction
Today, a broad range of communications options are available including post, telephone, email, text messaging and web portals, and each customer will have their preferred mode of interaction. Businesses can therefore seek to enhance customer service by making these channels of interaction available, but at the same time they need to be able to manage them cohesively.
Document scanning software such as Kofax Capture is no longer limited to capturing content from paper and can capture incoming information from email, fax, SMS and web forms, as well as documents arriving via scanning devices such as MFD's or even camera-enabled smartphones and tablets. All inbound communications can therefore be processed via a single capture platform regardless of which channel the customer uses.

House of the Day: Leave 'The Real World' Behind in La Jolla
Smack-dab next door to a house that, until recently, was surely the scene of nonstop revelry and drama sits this stunning beachfront mansion. Recently listed for $7.5 million, "Maison de la Mer" is located in the Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla, Calif. and also happens to be adjacent to the house where MTV's current season of "The Real World" just finished filming.
"We wanted to make sure the filming next door had been completed before offering the home for sale," Realtor Maria Weiss said in a statement.
A good judgment call, we'd say, considering prospective buyers probably wouldn't be all that impressed by the well-inebriated, weeping trespasser here or raucous next-door party there.
See Gallery
The home offers jaw-dropping vistas of the entire coastline along with an entertainment-scale backyard, balcony, pool and spa. Inside there is a large "bonus room" along with a library, living room, kitchen, breakfast nook, family room and elevator. Celebrating the property's seaside setting, the mansion's indoor steps are decorated with the notes of the song "Beyond the Sea."
Maria Weiss of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has the listing.

This TV from Haier (I guess they're an electronics company or something) doesn't just feature wireless HD… It's totally, completely wireless. Wireless power, folks. What does it take to transmit 3 gigs per second of 60hz 1080p plus 100 watts of electricity? A gigantic antenna is what, as you can see right in front of the distracting jerk with the ponytail who got in the background of my shot:
We talked to the Haier reps about just what exactly would happen if you got in between the antenna and the TV, and while they said that it was perfectly safe, I'm going to assume that that's just PR-speak for, "it'll definitely turn you into a super hero while giving you some form of cancer." We have no information on when you'd find something like this in your house, but the wireless HD probably won't be available before 2011, about the same time as non-chafing lead underpants.

London: The newly-released second-generation Samsung Galaxy Note II enables unique experiences in personalized and expressive content creation; making it the ultimate smartphone for on-the-go creativity.
Since the introduction of the Galaxy Note category, Samsung has continued to enhance and expand the Galaxy Note product experiences and despite, its big size of 5.5 inches, it appears to a convenient-to-use device.
With its distinctive design, featuring a 5.5-inch slab of plastic and glass, the new Galaxy Note II fits nicely in the user's hands as it measures 5.9 x 3.2 x 0.4 inches. In addition, with a weight of merely 180g, the phablet is not too difficult to carry around also.
Boasting an HD super AMOLED 720p screen, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is packed with a novel kind of AMOLED display technology, in which sub-pixels are arranged in such a manner that the images are notably sharper than those on the Samsung Galaxy S II or Galaxy S III smartphones.
Quite predictably, the screen of the Galaxy Note II can offer a much more satisfying movie-viewing experience, vis-a-vis the 4-inch screen of Apple's new iPhone 5; more so as the Samsung phablet is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, and – coupled with 2GB of RAM – is one of the fastest Android-based devices currently available on the market.
Running the newest Android v4.1.1 Jelly Bean Operating System (OS) and with a battery upgraded form its predecessor's 2,500mAh to 3,100mAh, the Samsung Galaxy Note II also features an 8-megapixel back camera, and a 1.9-megapixel front camera.
Galaxy Note II comes with internal memory of 16, 32 and 64 GB. However, users can expand the memory up to 64 GB through a micro SD card.
The device supports 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Besides, the users do not have to worry about scratches and minor physical damages as the device is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and have TouchWiz UI protection system.
The gadget is available in titanium grey and marble white colors.


text: A few years ago when we were in Las Vegas I wanted to check out the Neon Boneyard but didn't realize you had to book in advance. This time I got organized and booked the tour a few weeks before we arrived. The museum is about a 10 minute drive outside of the strip and is housed inside the former La Concha Motel lobby. The tour is an hour long and a guide takes you around and explains where each of the signs came from and their history. Its an amazing site to see and interesting to learn how the Neon Museum is collecting, preserving and exhibiting these iconic Las Vegas signs.

9 Non-Traditional Wedding Veils on Etsy to Elevate Your Bridal Style
The veil: It's the one bridal accessory that can make any old frock feel totally wedding-ready. Women have been wearing the down-the-aisle essential for centuries (these bad boys date all the way back to ancient Greece), and the general aesthetic hasn't changed much since. Of course, if traditional just isn't your thing, the very thought of donning a veil might send you running for the hills. There are a whole host of alternatives — flower crowns, diadems, and glitzy headbands — to choose from, but with an endless supply of edgy interpretations of the veil popping up on Etsy, it's worth giving the classic accessory another shot. Scroll on for nine non-traditional veil styles that are straight-up "I do" gold.
1. Mignonne Handmade Esmerelda Veil Band ($125): This totally non-traditional style was made with the burgeoning bohemian goddess in mind. The pale eucalyptus hue and embellished gold-plated comb will add a punch of personality to even the most understated gowns.
2. Wild Spirit Lovers Biewe Veil ($321): Vintage-inspired, yet 100 percent fashion-forward, this cathedral length veil brings the best of both worlds to the table. It's the perfect finishing touch for a lace sheath gown: The floral artwork, shimmery crystals, and gilded accents will keep all eyes on you all night long.
3. Erica Elizabeth Design 1920s Wedding Hairpiece ($330): Vintage soiree in the works? This is the OMG-worthy accessory you need on hand. The Russian netting and glitzy rhinestone appliqués deliver just the right amount of Gatsby glamour without going OTT.
4. Sibo Designs Bridal Scarf ($356): This isn't your average mantilla veil. Designed in the shape of a scarf, the cotton-lace veil can be worn a myriad of ways, bringing an unexpected edge to your down-the-aisle look. The best part? You can rock it as a shawl later on in the evening when the temp starts to dip.
5. Truvelle Wilshire Veil ($245): A cutting-edge twist on a classic style, this embroidered beauty is the epitome of bridal bliss. Bold florals and foliage make an otherwise understated veil pop, effortlessly elevating a simple strapless gown or bohemian frock. If you're looking for a little extra oomph, the piece can also be made with smoke or sienna-colored tulle.
6. Veiled Beauty Blush Veil ($75): Now here's a veil that color-lovers and -phobes can *both* agree on. A soft shade of blush transforms this graceful piece into a bonafide scene-stealer. Layer it over an elegant ball gown for an ethereal look that's guaranteed to make jaws drop.
7. Sibo Designs Crystal Veil ($301): Puttin' on the glitz takes on a totally new meaning with this crystal-flecked number on hand. The shoulder-grazing style is handmade and offers an Insta-worthy alternative to ballet, chapel, and cathedral-length options — essential if you're looking to show off a show-stopping neckline or bodice.
8. Mignonne Handmade Tulle Bandeau Veil ($40): An ultra feminine take on the birdcage veil, this gold-dotted bandeau veil was practically made for It-girls in training. Equal parts edgy and elegant, it's the ideal piece to set your bridal style apart from the rest.
9. Jurgita Bridal 3D Floral Veil ($115):Hello, gorgeous! Made with soft Italian tulle and 3D floral lace detailing, this enchanting accessory is the wedding day essential you didn't even know you needed.

Do different keys need different embochures
Hey Winslow,
My A-harmonica requires large embochure for holes 1-2 to produce good tone. Does it mean that lower-key harmonicas will require even larger embochure? Will it will get harder as I go lower?
I am also curious why 3-blow does not require as much embochure effort as 2-draw, it's same tone, isn't it?
By larger embouchure, do you mean more space inside your mouth?
You should be able to get all notes to sound on all keys of harmonica without changing the shape of the inside of your mouth. If Draw 2 is shutting down on you - which is a common beginner problem - then you're closing up too much inside. The result is that your mouth is being tuned to notes other than the ones you're playing, which makes reeds - especially the bendable ones - either balk or bend uninteintially, as happens with Daw 2.
Try yawning. Notice how your throat and mouth open way up to allow as much air as possible to pass without resistance. Your throat should be open as if you're yawning and your tongue should be lying like a rug on the floor of your mouth.
With this open air passage, air moving through your mouth and throat should be like a breeze through a giant cavern. And your breathing should be completely silent even when moving large volumes of air. Any sound in your breathing means the air is being dragged, which will cause reed response to suffer, especially on draw notes.
The other important ingrident is breathing deeply and gently from the bottom of your lungs. By getting your entire air column in motion, and letting it pass without resistance, reeds will respond more readily, your tone will get bigger and fuller, and you'll have more to work with when you bend or modulate your notes with vibrato.

The market correction is now coming up to 3 months old, and prices remain about 8% off the all time high. On the above daily chart I've drawn a volume profile around the range extremes up to date which shows a fairly balanced distribution with prices currently rotating around the VPOC of that range at 2657.50. Earnings season so far has delivered mainly stronger than expected EPS and revenues, but we're not seeing much follow through in price. AAPL is the big one after hours today - given how weak forward guidance has been by Taiwan Semiconductors, this is going to be an interesting one to hear from Apple.
The overnight range is currently 2641.25-53.75, overlapping lower to yesterday. The double distribution yesterday is separated by the single prints highlighted and there was a poor low left. The top of the low distribution is at 65.25 and I would remain short term bearish unless this is broken and held above.

Disha definitely thinks that her body is a canvas. In fact she thinks everyone is one too. Mere paper does not suffice. She loves it when one of us draws stars on her hands or legs with a ball point pen. Then she takes over to do her art.
Yesterday she was eating poster colors, much to my alarm. I kept telling her that its not good to eat it, could be poisonous. Today somehow she changed her mind and painted on two sheets of paper. As usual, that did not satisfy her. She then started off painting on her legs, slowly moving up to her hands, then tummy and finally her neck. After she was through, she came to me looking for spaces to paint on.
At this point I very smartly (he, he!) suggested, she had had enough of painting. To my surprise, she agreed and we cleared up the mess really quickly and then ran into the bathroom.
She is all clean of her art now and is sitting next to me munching an apple. I had to write this right away!

I'm David Cot, host of The History of Spain Podcast, and this is episode 5, called Second Iron Age: Iberians, Celts and other Pre-Roman peoples. In this episode you will learn about the native cultures that were coexisting in the Iberian Peninsula before the Roman conquest of Hispania. Subscribe to the podcast to not miss an episode!
The first thing I would like to mention is that we must understand the ethnic, linguistic or other kind of differences I will mention here not in a strict sense, but in broad terms. The Pre-Roman cultures and peoples I will talk about today didn't have states as we think of them today, they didn't have strict borders, instead they were very fluid cultures that were, to a higher or lower degree, interconnected, and that sometimes intermixed. There were two major ethnic groups in the Iberian Peninsula before the Carthaginian and Roman invasions, the Iberians and the Celts. We also have the Celtiberians that were a mixed group, and the proto-Basques whose origins are still under investigation.
The Iberians were Pre-Indo-European peoples of the Neolithic stock that populated the Mediterranean side of the Iberian Peninsula, and their culture started around the 5th century BC. Iberian culture was a bit influenced by Phoenician and Greek cultures, as we can easily see in their artistic works. What we know as Iberians though is not a unified group of peoples, but different tribes of each area of the Spanish Mediterranean that shared similar characteristics. For instance, in the Iberian territory there were multiple languages and writing systems. We know the sounds of the characters of the Iberian scriptures, but not their meaning since archeologists haven't found an Iberian Rosetta Stone. Apart from the Greco-Iberian alphabet that used the Ionic variant of the Greek alphabet, the rest of scripts, the Northeastern Iberian, Southeastern Iberian, Tartessian and Celtiberian scripts were semi-syllabaries, which means that their writing systems were a mix of an alphabet and a syllabary. The difference is that alphabets represent phonemes and syllabaries represent syllables to make up words. It was only between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD that the Iberian language disappeared, as well as the other paleohispanic languages, since they were all replaced by Latin.
To learn about the Iberian peoples, we need to rely more on archeology rather than literature, because all the literature about them is Greco-Roman and is biased. I mean, it's not like the Romans or Carthaginians made an anthropological study about them before their conquests. So yeah, this episode will not be narrative, just like the previous one.
Anyway, let's get started. Iberians usually settled and built their towns on heights to easily defend the territory, and their towns could have walls too. This kind of urbanism is called oppidum and was found all over Europe. A very interesting fact is that cities that had an influence over their region controlled the area nearby by founding small towns or building disperse houses. Cities even used sculptures that represented heroic acts to justify their expansion and influence. Their architecture and urbanism were not as advanced as the earlier Tartessian urbanism, but compared to their neighbors, the Celts, they were more urbanized and less pastoralist.
They didn't have advanced military technology like catapults until the Second Punic War, but Iberians were known as ferocious warriors that attracted the attention of foreign powers looking for mercenaries. Iberian warfare was endemic and made between tribes, to raid and pillage. Iberians stood out for their ambushes and guerrilla tactics, and the infantry used hit-and-run tactics. Now talking about their weapons, the falcata stands out as it's the characteristic Pre-Roman sword of the Iberian tribes. The falcata has a single-edged blade that pitches forwards towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point, and they don't only surprise by their shape, but also by the quality of the iron. The famous Gladius Hispaniensis inspired the Roman military to adopt those swords after the Punic Wars in their Republican Army. See an image of a falcata in your podcast player, on thehistoryofspain.com or looking it up on Google. Iberian soldiers also used spears, javelins, they had both small and large shields, and Iberian horsemen were highly regarded.
On another note, Iberian society was as stratified as any other urbanized society at the time, with its kings or chieftains, nobles, priests, artisans, peasants and slaves. The nobles met in councils and chieftains maintained their power through a system of vassalage and servitude. The nobility was a warrior class, as it's evidenced by the sculptures and necropolis found that idealize aristocratic values. Iberian societies were extremely divided politically and led by caudillos, and only some united in confederacies to defend the territory from the Carthaginian and Roman invaders.
Among their customs, we find the Iberian devotio, a pact of vassalage where the devoti or clients swore to protect their caudillo or king, in exchange for protection and a higher social status. If the leader died, the devoti had to commit suicide as they also vowed to protect their leader to the gods. This social institution played a major role in some heroic last stands seen during the Roman conquest of Hispania, and it served Roman interests later because Iberians quickly embraced the cult to the emperor. The Romans had a similar institution, but their devotio was radically different, since in their case the Romans devoted to gods to guarantee a military victory in exchange for their life, while Iberians offered their life to protect a person.
Archeologists haven't found any big sanctuary, instead religious rites seem to have been performed domestically and in the open. Iberians didn't like to represent their divinities like Greeks did, therefore we know very little about their religious beliefs. Nonetheless both the Greeks and Phoenicians influenced their religious practices, as some of their deities were known and worshiped. On the other hand, they used ex-vote figurines that were unique, which means that they represented a different individual each time. Iberians offered the ex-vote figurines to the gods in open air sanctuaries, usually for health issues, and animal ritual sacrifice was commonly performed as well.
About their burial methods, Iberians always incinerated the bodies of the dead, using a funeral pyre structure. In their necropolis we can observe how stratified their society was, with bigger tombs for the aristocratic families. Two good examples of their aristocratic burials are the Lady of Baza and the Lady of Elche. Both are beautiful sculptures that represented noble women, and they both had a hole in the back that contained the ashes of the women the sculptures represented. Therefore, thus sculptures functioned as funerary urns, and I encourage you to Google the precious works that are the Lady of Baza and Lady of Elche or to visit in thehistoryofspain.com the post of this episode, because I will post their images there as well as in a meta mark compatible podcast player.
On the other hand, Iberians traded extensively with other Mediterranean people, as Iberian pottery and metalwork can be found in France, Italy, Greece or North Africa. Horse breeding was important for the nobility, and the mining and metalwork activities were important in the Ebro Valley and the region of Murcia. Grain-producing agriculture was the most important economic activity though, and it was the base that sustained a demographic growth from the 5th century BC onwards. They also had livestock of small animals like sheep, goats and pigs, and again, Iberian pottery was demanded for its quality. Iberians imported luxury items, especially from the Greeks, like pottery, jewels and perfumes. It's interesting to see how it's almost impossible to find Athenian coins considering the amounts of Athenian pottery found in Iberia, something that indicates that trade with these items was done through intermediaries from the Greek colonies of southern Italy or France. From the 3rd century BC on, Iberians from areas near Greek or Punic colonies coined their own currency, which signals their increasing direct involvement in trade.
Focusing on a particular group of Iberians, we have the Turdetani that succeeded the Tartessians. They were Iberians, in the sense that they descend from the Neolithic settlers, but their language was quite different from those spoken by the Iberians. Instead, the Turdetani spoke a language closely related to the Tartessian language and they lived in the Guadalquivir Valley just as the Tartessians did. The Turdetani were the most urbanized and least warlike people of the Iberian Peninsula, as described by Greek geographer and historian Strabo. This is a quote from him about the Turdetani: "The Turdetanians are ranked as the wisest of the Iberians; and they make use of an alphabet, and possess records of their ancient history, poems, and laws written in verse that are six thousand years old, as they assert." Every ancient geographer praised the wealth and fertility of the region of the Turdetani, even though they weren't as wealthy as the Tartessians used to be. The Turdetani exported wheat, wine, oil, salt and of course they kept exporting silver, copper, gold and iron, although presumably not in the same magnitude seen with Tartessos. The era of Carthaginian and then Roman presence further developed the Guadalquivir Valley. In relation to their political organization, they seem to have been politically divided in monarchical city-states before the Carthaginians and Romans arrived. Even though they weren't warlike, the political power was based on military power, as it happened in other Iberian societies. The Turdetani society was very unequal, with an aristocracy that lived the good life while most of the people lived in a state of servitude, working in agricultural and mining activities. That explains why Carthaginians easily used native slaves when they conquered southern Spain.
Moving on, we have the Celtic tribes of Indo-European origin that migrated to the center, north and west of the Iberian Peninsula during the first half of the 1st millennium BC and mixed with the natives that were already there. The development of those Celts was lower than that of the Iberians, primarily because they didn't interact directly with Phoenician or Greek colonizers. Some tribes were predominantly agriculturalists, growing almost exclusively wheat, but the majority were semi-pastoralists. Something that really demonstrates how their society was is that the property of the terrain was communal, but the livestock was private. They had social institutions like the hospitium or devotio with the hospitium being a pact between equals and the devotio being a pact between unequals. Their basic social organization were the gens, which means relationships based on kinship. The gens represented a larger and more important group for the Celts than the nuclear family. We see the manifestation of this social institution in their homes, where they had big family meals and every relative slept under the same roof. That changed with the Roman conquest though, and the belonging to a city or the parentage mattered more.
The Celts were bellicose, therefore many served as mercenaries in foreign armies. Romans linked their belligerent society with their poverty, and they justified their conquests by saying that there was the need to pacify those barbarian and warlike peoples. We know that they shared some gods with the rest of the Celts of Europe, like Lug, the god of war, Cernunnos, the god of fertility, or Epona, goddess of horses that you may know because of Zelda. Celts had many local deities, and they either had druids or the aristocracy performed the religious rituals. To end with the general description of the Celts, I wanted to add that their urbanization was based on the Castro culture, which means that they built walled oppida and hillforts known as 'castros'.
In the west, Lusitanians and Vettones were the most notorious peoples. They lived in the area that is Portugal today, in addition to Extremadura and the western provinces of Castile. It's not clear whether they were Celts with strong indigenous traits, or Pre-Celts heavily influenced by Celtic cultures. The Vettones had a differentiated culture, the culture of the verracos, which consisted in erecting monuments and sculptures portraying animals like bulls or pigs. The meaning of their symbolism isn't clear, it could have been religious, economic or funerary. The Lusitanians lived in more fertile lands than the Vettones, therefore agriculture had a more important role, and the mining sector was relevant too. Trade, metalwork and craft activities were marginal prior to the Roman conquest though, while fishing and hunting constituted important economic activities, as well as horse-breeding. The size of one's livestock showed the power and prestige of a person. Due to social inequalities, some of the poor lived as bandits, and brigandage wasn't precisely a minor problem in Lusitania or Celtiberia, especially during the instability of the Roman conquest.
The northern Celts of the Iberian Peninsula were the poorest of all. They drank water or beer instead of wine, they slept on the ground, men grew long hair like women, they ate acorn and chestnuts for half a year and they didn't use coins. That's understandable, since they were very far from the focuses of developed and urbanized civilizations. Apart from gathering fruits, they relied mostly on ranching to feed themselves, and there are some good mines in the north so northern tribes extracted some raw materials like gold, tin or iron and sold them. The social organization and costumes of the northern Celts have been an object of study, because Latin texts said that the Cantabri and Astures had matriarchal societies. The fact that Northern Celtic women farmed, inherited land and had the power to arrange marriages for their brothers shocked the Romans.
Now let's talk about the mix of Iberians and Celts, the Celtiberians. When I say a mix here, it's not a genetic mix in general, but a cultural mix. The Celtiberians were Celts, aka Indo-European, but with a culture influenced by that of the Iberians. They shared the same social institutions and religion with the rest of the Celts, but their material culture was strongly influenced by that of the Iberians. Ancient sources diverge while delimiting the region of Celtiberia, but they lived around the Sistema Ibérico or Iberian System that it's located in the eastern part of the Meseta Central. The area apparently experienced a demographic and economic growth that also provoked a higher degree of urbanization and the emergence of walled towns in Celtiberia. Celtiberians were more pastoralists than agriculturalists, a particularity that has to do with the ecological conditions of their lands. I know that I have said the same about the others, but Celtiberians were especially famous for being ferocious and brave warriors, and archeological findings suggest that as early as the 7th or 6th century BC the area that corresponds to the Celtiberians developed a warrior and stratified society. The Celtiberians played a major role in the native resistance against the Roman conquest, but we will see that in an upcoming episode.
The last natives that need to be mentioned are the proto-Basques. The ancient Basques were called Vascones, and they lived a bit more eastwards than today, occupying the Western Pyrenees as well as the eastern half of modern-day Basque Country. Those people were related to the Aquitanians that lived in southwestern France, but we know very few details about their culture and even today the Basques are an object of study because their genetic and linguistic origins are a mystery. What archeologists and ancient sources say is that their culture was influenced by the Celtic cultures, so consider all the points I mentioned about the Celts and the majority of the characteristics would apply to the Vascones.
THE VERDICT: In today's verdict I want to discuss the historic manipulation done by Basque nationalists in relation to who they are. To talk about this issue, I must first define what an ethnicity is. An ethnicity is a complex issue, because it has much to do with how we perceive first ourselves as belonging to a certain group and then how the others perceive us. The identity of an ethnicity is built around multiple factors, where each factor can be considered of different importance according to each ethnicity. As factors, we have race, language, religion, material culture, ideology, among others. The thing with the Basques is that nationalism created an image of the Basques as an ancient, isolated and distinct race, and two important problems that create nationalism are the national myth that has little to do with actual, scientific history, and the fact that nationalism presents nations as fixed groups that don't change, which of course it's false. People interact with each other and no human ethnicity is isolated, therefore we can't understand cultures or nations as fixed entities. Remember this, and this applies to all nationalisms, cultures are dynamic and that's how humanity has advanced. And with that, The Verdict ends.
As we have seen, the Pre-Roman peoples of the Iberian Peninsula were quite heterogenous. We have the pre-Indo-European Iberians and Vascones, the Celts and the Greek and Phoenician colonies that heavily influenced the natives. It wasn't until the Roman conquest of Hispania that all those people were unified.

Lunch at Soul Fish Cafe
I stopped by Soul Fish Cafe on Cooper around 12:30 p.m. this afternoon, thinking that I could beat most of the lunch rush. That didn't quite work out the way I planned – the small cafe was completely packed. It didn't take long to get seated, though.
Soul Fish has various kinds of catfish and chicken. There are baskets of catfish, sandwiches, salads, and a long list of side items that changes daily. I ordered the fried catfish tacos with a side of zucchini.
The tacos were full of strips of spicy fried catfish, lettuce, and pico de gallo. The tortillas folded up burrito-style, which made them easy to pick up and eat without them falling apart. They came with generous helpings of avocado and salsa.
Even though Soul Fish was crowded, the service was fast and efficient, but not rushed. People were getting seated quickly, and it didn't take long to get my food.
Soul Fish is open daily for lunch and dinner. They also have locations in East Memphis, Germantown, and Little Rock, Ark. Check out the Soul Fish menu.
Go There:
Soul Fish Cafe – Cooper Young location
The Grit loves this place. Absolutely loves it.
I love that place. The blackened catfish tacos with the cajun cabbage (it has sausage in it) is my favorite meal. The spiciness is perfect. A table always comes faster than you think it will.
My family and I love this place. They are always packed but fast. Our favs are the Cuban sand, Smoked chicken and the catfish of course. Try it you'll love it.
LOVE it! I've never been disappointed with the food OR service.
I just saw your review on urbanspoon and had to leave a comment. Now to go get my Cuban from Soul Fish.
P.S. Your blog formats nicely on my iPhone.

Hi, I recently recorded the repeats of Ever Decreasing Circles from GOLD, I tried to play one but get message - recording unavailable IPC6035, I have reset the box & router to no availe, other episodes seem to be OK just this one, any suggestions please.
Welcome to this user forum.
Perhaps the content has expired or been removed by the content provider?
Perhaps that one did not record properly?

In that case, it must have been removed by the content provider. This can happen if a particular episode had a time limit on it for some reason.
The BBC often do that on the iPlayer service. You can get episodes of a series, and one will only be shown once, while the rest will remain.
For example, tthe BBC did a series about the National Grid, a few years ago. But the final episode "pulling the plug" was removed from the iPlayer content, shortly afterwards, but the rest of the series remained. I think it was too political
Recordings if successfully completed are on your YouView hard drive , upon play back of recordings off a BT subscription channel a check would be made for a current subscription to that channel.
That is a different to catch-up or on demand or rented or bought programmes selected off a Youview player which typically will have date and time availability restrictions at individual programme episode level.
As I said there is just a problem with one episode, I record quite a few things & nothing else has been affected, I have been a BT subscriber for a long time....

Artist family Teija, Pekka and Iisakki Isorättyä work and travel around the world. Currently, they reside in Brooklyn, preparing their solo show at Ierimonti Gallery.
Pier 6, from which we are about to take the East River ferry to Dumbo, is a recently reconfigured public space on the Brooklyn waterfront, with extensive green spaces planted with native plants and a variety of playgrounds. Why is Pier 6 a place of special significance for the artist family Isorättyä?
This place attracts us for multiple reasons. We live close-by, and almost every time we leave the house, we intuitively start walking towards the waterfront. We enjoy the open river space, the many parks - Pier 6 has the coolest playgrounds for kids - and the view towards Southern Manhattan. Watching the Manhattan skyscrapers and the boats on the East River feels almost like watching a mountain view: it's calming in the same manner. The streets look like canyons. And the ferry deck is the best place to observe the city architecture and the bridges over the East River.
So the river offers a merging point between the urban and the natural landscapes. But the piers also possess a border-like character that you find inspiring.
We have always found places that are in-between very inspiring and comfortable. This waterfront is on the border of residential and industrial neighborhoods, and it is also the border between Brooklyn and Manhattan, and the border between America and the Atlantic Ocean. A border is always interesting, no matter what kind of border it is; the beginning and the end of a situation are fascinating because all the action is happening in-between. Maybe you feel freer because you are in-between, because you are not here anymore but, at the same time, you are not there yet. It is like the moment when something good is about to happen. Like A. A. Milne says in Winnie the Pooh: "Although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he (Winnie the Pooh) didn't know what it was called."
Do you think that the New York landscape affects your work?
We are working with very shiny materials at the moment, which might be because of the reflective silhouette of Manhattan, or the overall glamorous feeling of the city. Alongside smooth, irradiating acrylic sheets, we use coarser, rough materials that we find and encounter by chance, for example on the streets. Such materials have a history and carry symbolic references to actions that have happened in the past or that might happen in the future.
Since last year we have also used surgical hospital equipment, stainless steel objects, and instruments in our installations. We got the tools as a donation from a Finnish hospital that was updating its equipment.
Some of the new materials we work with we have just recently discovered here in New York. Our friend Myles Mangino works as a light engineer for a band called The Pixies, and he took us to search for cool stuff from old warehouses he knows in Long Island City. One of them, a sound and lighting rental company called The See Factory was throwing out some old equipment. We found these objects very interesting. We started to remove the lenses and irises from some old stage lights and began to imagine what kind of stars and shows the lenses had seen.
And in your art, you give a new life to those objects that otherwise would have been destroyed.
We think that collectively we are experiencing an era of fundamental change because of the current, rapid technological and digital changes in society. And because as artists we are always looking for objects with stories, we are often right on the clashing point of old and new. Maybe you can also see our work as a humans' struggle to reinvent themselves to meet the current standards.
How about Jane's Carousel, the famous merry-go-round in Dumbo, where we are going to finish our walk? You mentioned that it is also one of your favorite places in New York.
Our fascination with Jane's Carousel is part of our long-standing fascination with mechanical objects. The merry-go-round was very beautifully constructed almost 100 years ago. It has been conserved very carefully and placed inside a glass pavilion next to the massive pillars of the Brooklyn Bridge. We built our first mechanic installation together in 2006, and since then we have observed and studied all kinds of mechanical devices with great pleasure.
Are there some other places or things that have inspired you lately?
Nowadays we enjoy places where we can find a common interest as a family: places and things that have cultural depth or a history, but also room for play. As a family we enjoy things on multiple levels: things that are simple or attractive enough to spark the interest of a two-year-old, but which are also interesting for adults. During this conversation, you told us about pinball machines that were dumped in the East River during the prohibition in the 1920's. That could be an excellent source of inspiration and adventure. To find them, dive them up, and rebuild them as art pieces.
Our son Iisakki's daily play and the way he partakes in our projects is a constant inspiration to us. He is now making videos of his own. In one video we visited a toy store with Iisakki having a go-pro camera on his head. His reactions and impulses are so immediate; you can see what he thinks by watching the video. The point was to change the point-of-view and the creator. Many times conversations are the most significant inspiration for us. The hardest part with all inspiration is to keep what is relevant to you, filter out the rest, and to be honest with yourself.
Your solo show Binary Operations is opening at Ierimonti Gallery on Lower East Side, New York on April 5. Is it going to include some new themes that you haven't explored before?
In this show, we are concentrating on reflections, and how they are born and multiplied on spliced mirrors, sounds, and repetitions of the mechanics. We are trying to make images of our times. These sculptures are becoming quite abstract, digitally controlled fragments which seek to evoke both terror and relief, to show the fear but also bring hope for the future. And of course, they are attractive for kids.

Is the price right? How do we value water?
Water scarcity has been a hallmark of the arid and semi-arid West since humans inhabited the area. In light of our expanding population and our – at least in the current drought – diminishing supply of water, how do we equitably distribute, use and price water? There is a new appreciation that we will need to adjust our relationship with water and that we can't simply engineer our way out of the current shortfall. Should water be priced as a necessity for life – no matter how much is consumed – or should there be rising rates to correspond to rising consumption? How do we conserve without turning water purveyors into barons? Can architects, developers and cities work together to create policies and practices that reduce water consumption?

A Witness Above
How do you find new books to read? Surf the 'net? Browse the bookstore? Look at the library? I do all of these too, but my favorite way to find a new book or author is to read books recommended by people I admire. If you read my post about West Oversea (read it HERE) you'll know that one such person is Lars Walker. Mr. Walker recently reviewed a novel by Andy Straka (You can read his review HERE) and I was intrigued. I hunted around until I found that A Witness Above is the first in a series by Andy Straka. I figured that was a good place to start.
Frank Pavlicek is retired from police work. He's been retired for over ten years, ever since that terrible evening when he was forced to shoot a kid. Frank definitely doesn't want to get involved in a homicide, not even when he is the one who stumbles across the body. But when his daughter is implicated in the crime, Frank has no choice but to join the search for the real killer.
A Witness Above is a classic police procedural. Classic in the sense of having everything a gritty crime novel should have — stereotypical racist lawmen, a drug angle, plenty of suspects, and even the ubiquitous visit to a strip club. Despite these "gimmes" I actually really liked the book. It kept me engaged and guessing the whole way through. Thanks for introducing me to a new-to-me author, Mr. Walker, I am in your debt! I recommend A Witness Above to fans of mystery and police procedurals with the cautions/caveats below.
Quote: Guys like to fantasize, watching Rambo or Dirty Harry or Jean-Claude Van Damme. We think bravery has to do with violent upheaval, with the extraordinary acts of valor far outside the scope of our daily lives. What we too often miss is the bravery that happens every day, right before our eyes, deeper, more enduring.
Cautions and Caveats: There is a lot of strong language throughout the book, as you would expect in this genre. Also contains some sexual references (strip club etc.). The issue which stuck out to me in this one was the racial slurs included in the book. They were mostly in service to the story, and the main character is decidedly NOT racist, so the book does not condone those attitudes, but it does bother me to read racial slurs no matter how they are presented. I couldn't let it pass without mentioning them.

ATHENS – Greece hopes to get more time to repay bailout loans, its finance minister said on Monday, a day before EU and IMF inspectors start a visit to assess if new austerity plans are tough enough to tidy up its public finances.
Struggling with a deep recession, weak revenues and growing market expectations that a debt restructuring is inevitable, the fiscally crippled country faces a gruelling inspection a year after its euro zone partners and the IMF saved it from bankruptcy with a 110 billion euro bailout loan.
Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou, who unveiled on Monday new plans to fight rampant tax evasion — a priority for its international lenders — became the first Greek official to float the idea of a further easing of conditions on the bailout.
Also setting a precedent in the debate on how to resolve Greece's fiscal dilemma was European central banker Nout Wellink.
In comments to students in the Netherlands, he became the first member of the ECB's governing council to point to a possible rescheduling of repayments on the country's debt.
Papaconstantinou, referring to comments he first made in an interview published on Monday by French newspaper Liberation, said Greece would welcome having more time to pay back its bailout funds, at a lower interest rate, after the EU already sweetened the deal in March.
"The European Council decided (in March) to extend the repayment of the 110 billion euros," he told a news conference. "I just expressed the hope that we will be able at a later stage to have an even better arrangement of this specific debt of 110 billion euros, nothing more."
Analysts said a rescheduling of repayment terms, even covering both the EU/IMF bailout monies and Greece's sovereign debt, would not be enough to avoid a broader restructuring.
"I would argue that lengthening the EU loan and cutting the loan rate might be a necessary condition for Greece to comply with its budget targets, but not a sufficient one," said Unicredit analyst Kornelius Purps.
"Lengthening the maturity of debt for Greece does not solve anything. It's a temporary solution like it was with the bailout package. They have to reduce the overall level of debt to GDP," added Alessandro Gainsanti, a strategist at ING in Amsterdam.
EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn on Monday again ruled out a Greek debt restructuring.
Papaconstantinou did not say if lengthening the bailout repayments would be discussed with the EU and IMF inspectors.
During the inspection visit, Greece will need to convince its international lenders, who will start combing through data on Tuesday before mission chiefs arrive next week, that new fiscal and privatisation plans meet targets.
Officials close to the troika of ECB, European Commission and IMF said Greece's plan unveiled mid-April to save 23 billion euros in 2012-2015 and an extra 3 billion euros this year to compensate weaker-than-expected revenues lacked substance and had to be fleshed out.
"We need to have figures, we need to know what the measures are," said one official close to the lenders ahead of the visit that will decide if Greece will receive a fifth, 12 billion euro tranche of aid. "This will be the centerpiece of the visit."
Papaconstantinou on Monday also outlined plans to raise 11.8 billion euros over the next three years in a new tax evasion crackdown that will boost the police's role in pursuing tax dodgers and social security frauds — one of the key elements of the 2011-2015 fiscal plan.
"This is not just a fiscal battle, it is a battle for the future of the Greek economy," Papaconstantinou said.
Tax evasion is rampant in Greece, with the government estimating that 15 billion euros slip through tax officials' nets each year.
Successive governments have battled it unsuccessfully and Papaconstantinou said Greece is also in talks with Switzerland to uncover and tax funds that Greek residents have funneled to Swiss banks.
Indicative short-dated Greek bond yields rose on Monday, although bid/offer spreads were in the region of 500 cents for two- and five-year Greek paper, reflecting a lack of liquidity.

Plan for Launching the Initiative
The project plan has five main components and is designed to compress a 24-month process into eight to launch by June of 2018. An overview of the components are as follows:
1. Introduce the idea (November 2017)
Initial planning took place on November 7th, 2017 held in Boston at the Carbon Leadership Forum meeting at GreenBuild Expo.
2. Develop a comprehensive plan (December-January 2018)
The planning process was facilitated by Carbon Innovations, a business consultancy focused on laying the basis for a global economy that thrives by storing billions of tons of carbon in valuable products while reducing carbon emissions to zero. Carbon Innovations works to connect network partners with diverse expertise and shared passion to bring products to market and to transform markets.
Over a three-month period (from November 2017 through January 2018), the Carbon Leadership Forum and Carbon Innovations convened a team of over 30 experts from companies and NGOs across the building industry to develop a comprehensive plan for how to convert the built environment from a new carbon emitter into a net carbon sink.
Network participants and organizational leaders worked to identify knowledge gaps and propose pathways to transform the industry. The team first identified a set of Conditions Required for Success:
- Carbon-storing materials must be low cost, widely available and widely used.
- Buildings are high-performing, and emit no GHG's in operation.
- Analysis of a building's carbon footprint is integrated in project design and delivery tools.
- Carbon-storing best practices are widely shared and rapidly improving.
- Buildings have a carbon footprint rating that is easy to find and understand.
- Designers, builders, and owners make storing carbon a goal on every project.
- Developers realize higher profits for carbon-storing buildings.
- The public views carbon stored in buildings as part of the climate solution.
- Policies to promote storing carbon in buildings are in place globally.
The planners then developed detailed Action Plans aimed at enabling the building industry to meet those conditions:
- Accelerate progress with a collective impact initiative.
- Secure industry commitments.
- Improve global warming potential (GWP) analysis methods and tools.
- Promote lower carbon materials and methods.
- Promote best practices with compelling case studies.
- Develop low-carbon materials supply chains.
- Engage state and local governments.
- Recruit leading Fortune 100 firms to demand minimized embodied carbon in buildings they commission.
3. Create the backbone; recruit founding partners; prepare for launch (January-June 2018)
Together, we'll work to support, connect, and accelerate the work of many companies and organizations to create:
- A common agenda among the network partners, based on a common understanding of the problem and a shared vision for change.
- A shared plan for collecting data, measuring results, managing performance, and sharing accountability.
- A broad range of partners with differentiated approaches engaging in mutually reinforcing activities, and coordinating through a joint plan of action.
- Continuous, consistent, and open communications, focused on building trust and supporting collaboration.
- A small backbone organization, fully funded and capable of providing infrastructure and processes to host and promote the Initiative and measure progress.
4. Public launch (June-September 2018)
The first public announcement and presentation of the Carbon Smart Building initiative in the US will be at the American Institute of Architects 2018 Convention in New York City June 20-23. The first global launch will be at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, September 12-14.
5. Execute (beginning now!)
The Carbon Leadership Forum is a professional community of manufacturers, designers, builders, and academics focused on reducing the carbon 'embodied' in building materials. Industry sponsorships have funded embodied carbon research at the University of Washington and firm representatives have led initiatives. Participants in CLF have worked together to understand and reduce embodied carbon: leading by testing methods, sharing results and motivating each other to improve. The Carbon Smart Building initiative will use CLF's previous work as a foundation for advancing the initiative, spurring work on the initiative's Action Plans while developing the necessary backbone and infrastructure needed.

Kramer Electronics recently announced a new HDMI connector that resists accidental disconnections. Called the K-Lock, the new connector requires as much as 15 pounds (6.8 kg) of force in order to be pulled from a standard HDMI socket.
The pro AV industry is familiar with the challenges arising while using HDMI cables, even in the simplest installation. The tendency of lower gauge (thicker) cables to weigh down the cable connector and pull it out of the socket can cause embarrassing dropouts and signal loss, often at the worst times. Even the slightest tension can result in signal loss, and when it comes to longer distances, the chances for signal loss are even higher.
K-Lock is equipped with small springs on the surface of the connector that hold the cable firmly in place. K-Lock connectors are available on Kramer's C-HM/HM, C-HM/HM/ETH, C-HM/HM/PRO, C-HM/HM/FLAT/ETH, C-MHM/MHM, C-MHMA/MHMA and other Kramer HDMI cables in retail packaging.

My recent trip to Singapore was a great one and here's a not-so little highlight reel of (almost) all that I ate.
On my first morning, I went for a classic Eggs benedict with Salmon. Usually, the sight of a single poached egg with its runny yolk is what makes my morning every day now imagine how happy I was to see not one but two poached eggs together 😀
