New York City Trip and Fall Lawyer Review: Frank D.
The defect, which measured 16 inches on the longest length, was located on the curb and sidewalk (pictured above). Due to the location of the defect, the City of New York argued that they were NOT liable for Frank's accident since they claimed it occurred on the sidewalk and not the curb. The City pointed their finger to the property owner, stating that it was the owner's responsibility to maintain the sidewalk adjoining their building and the City was responsible for the curbs/streets.
The City relied on New York City Administrative Code (NYCAC) § 7-210 (b), which states that "the owner of real property abutting any sidewalk…shall be liable for any injury to property or personal injury." The City also used NYCAC § 7-201(c)(2), which states that no civil action can be maintained against New York City for personal injuries or death sustained as a result of any street (or sidewalk) because of a dangerous defect unless written notice of the dangerous defect was given to an authorized person/department at least 15 days prior to the accident.
With the city and building owner going back and forth as to who was responsible, Adam Handler was hired by Frank's attorney to take the case to trial. Adam argued that the City and the building owner should both be responsible for Frank's injuries because the defect existed on the edge of the curb/sidewalk. He proved that § 7-210 does not apply to injuries resulting from a defective curb condition and that the City had prior written notice of the defective sidewalk/curb for months preceding Frank's accident.
Prior to Adam's involvement, the City offered $50,000, however, Adam negotiated a $500,000 settlement with the City and a $200,000 settlement with the building owner just prior to jury selection.

Q: coq: A left-recursive notation must have an explicit level I have seen a Coq notation definition for "evaluates to" as follows:
Notation "e '||' n" := (aevalR e n) : type_scope.

I am trying to change the symbol '||' to something else as || is often times used for logical or. However, I always get an error
 A left-recursive notation must have an explicit level

For example, this happens when I change '||' to:
'\|/', '\||/', '|_|',  '|.|', '|v|', or '|_'.
Is there something special about || here? and how should I fix it to make these other notations work (if possible)?

A: If I am right, if you overload a notation, Coq uses the properties of the first definition. The notation _ '||' _ has already a level, so Coq uses this level for your definition.
But with new symbols, Coq cannot do that, and you have to specify the level:
Notation "e '|.|' n" := (aevalR e n) (at level 50) : type_scope.

For already defined notations, this is even stronger than what I wrote above. You cannot redefine the level of a notation. Try for example:
Notation "e '||' n" := (aevalR e n) (at level 20) : type_scope.

Email Marketing Best Practices
by Tim Bourgeois | Dec 29, 2017 | Blog
Email marketing, the first tactic to arrive on the digital marketing scene, has experienced PR problems in recent years. Maybe it all started in the wake of the CAN-SPAM act of 2003, and the category never really recovered. But savvy professionals know otherwise: when email marketing best practices are followed, the tactic can serve as the cornerstone of a successful marketing operation.
Source: Smart Insights, GetResponse Survey
When thinking about your organization's email marketing strategy and planning for improved performance, here are the considerations to keep front-and-center.
1. Everyone Uses Email & Email Marketing
This statement applies to both individuals and corporations. According to Pew, almost 9-of-10 of smartphone users actively check email on their phones. So the audience is there and engaged. Also, after being around for more than two decades, most organizations have some kind of email marketing strategy in place. In a recent survey by Smart Insights and Get Response (see exhibit), more than half of marketers said email marketing performed 'good' or 'excellent', outperforming all other tactics. And, eMarketer forecasts the U.S. email advertising market to expand from $343M this year to $500M+ in 2021 – not the aggressive growth we see in other digital categories, but also not bad considering it's been around awhile.
If you don't have a formal email marketing strategy in place, prioritize its design and launch as soon as possible. It's likely that an in-house list exists somewhere, can be dusted off and put to use. If an email marketing plan is in place, have a senior member of the marketing team assess its status and budget. Depending on the type of organization, an email marketing strategy budget should account for 2.5% – 25% of overall marketing spending. For example, a large B2B company will skew smaller while a small B2C company will skew larger.
2. Be Wary of Email Measurement 'Rates'
Too many organizations measure email marketing performance on the easily available 'rates' made available by the email platform companies: open rates, click-through rates, deliver-ability rates, etc. While meaningful in some ways, they aren't very useful in the context of strategic marketing goals like branding, engagement, and conversions. Deep-pocketed technology companies with sophisticated marketing and sales operations like Constant Contact, Hubspot, Marketo, and Salesforce have force-fed the industry a set of metrics which, outside of small and specialized email teams, aren't very useful. Senior marketing managers and non-marketing executives don't need to understand the minutia of the operations, and sharing ground-level performance data with them only weakens the impact.
Email marketing performance is best viewed vis-a-vis other marketing tactics (direct mail, events, telemarketing, etc.) and its ability to contribute to customer acquisition and retention. While the true, absolute contributions of a tactic like email can often require sophisticated modeling and measurement operations – rolling up to attribution – the baseline metrics that are easy to track and serve as a reasonable proxy for attribution are conversions, engagement and sharing. These are genuine measurements of the impact of an email's content and strategies.
3. Take the Long View
Successful email marketing operations follow a 3-to-1 give-versus-ask ratio. That is to say, companies employing email marketing best practices only ask for something – a purchase, a piece of information – one time for every three times they give. While people have an overall preference to email-based communications from brands, their biggest point of feedback, according to an Adobe survey, is to make the correspondence "less about promotion and more about providing me information". This is a big challenge for brands of all stripes, as pounding email lists to meet quarterly or year-end goals is a common tactic — but a short-sighted and corrosive one.
While challenging, employing the 3:1 ratio isn't as difficult as it might seem. A "give" to a user base could be a coupon, an entertaining but brand-promoting video, or a white paper or webinar pass. It takes some planning and creativity, but most organizations have enough assets in place to make this happen without extraordinary effort. The important thing is to approach an email marketing strategy from a user-based perspective, and get the audience to look forward to opening your emails. It'll pay major dividends over the long run.
To be sure, an effective email marketing strategy can deliver on nearly every goal in a marketer's crosshairs: branding, awareness, thought leadership, engagement, acquisition, and retention. So, from a strategic perspective, it's not a question of "if", but rather "how much"? That email marketing is the oldest and least shiny object among the current digital marketing tool set – which includes search, display, social, content, native, video, etc. – means that it might require an extra dose of support during budgeting season. But for most organizations, it's well-worth the effort.

"And the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel—for he was the firstborn; but since he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, and the genealogy is [therefore] not to be reckoned according to the [original] birthright. [Moreover,] Judah prevailed among his brothers, and from him came the chief ruler, but the birthright was Joseph's" (I Chron. 5:1-2).
Normally, the birthright is passed directly to the firstborn son— which, in this case, would be Joseph because of Reuben's disqualification. As the story unfolds, however, we see the guiding hand of divine intervention. God had already determined that on a national level the Abrahamic promises would take the shape of "a nation" and "a company of nations." This would be achieved by actually conferring the birthright blessings directly onto Joseph's two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Each of the twelve tribes of Israel was identified by its ancient tribal name—except Joseph. Throughout the Old Testament, the tribe of Joseph is referred to as though it were actually two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim. No other tribe is presented as such. This all came about because Jacob—the father of the tribes of Israel—passed the birthright directly to Joseph's sons. The prophetic implications of Jacob's maneuver will in time become obvious.
"And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, 'Behold, your father is sick.' And he [Joseph] took with him [to visit Jacob] his two sons, Manasseh [his firstborn] and Ephraim. And one spoke to Jacob, and said, 'Behold, your son Joseph comes to you.' And Israel strengthened himself and sat upon the bed.
"And Jacob said to Joseph, 'God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. And He said to me, "Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you. And I will make of you a multitude of people, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession." And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who [were] born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine. Like Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine' " (Gen. 48:1-5).
Jacob essentially adopts Joseph's two sons. In so doing, he made the two boys legally his sons. Jacob did this so that the birthright could be passed to them directly. Remember, the birthright belongs legally to the firstborn—unless God intervenes to do otherwise.
Notice that Manasseh is mentioned first in verse one, as he was the firstborn. Later, in verse five, Jacob mentions Ephraim first—showing that he was about to favor him with the greater portion of the blessings.
"And the eyes of Israel were dim for age; he could not see. And [Joseph] brought [the boys] near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. And Israel said to Joseph, 'I had not thought I would see your face, and, lo, God showed me also your offspring.' And Joseph brought them out from between his father's knees, and he bowed his face to the earth. And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel's right hand. And he brought them near to him" (verses 8-13).
Jacob was practically blind—but he knew how Joseph would present the boys. Manasseh, as the oldest of the two and the firstborn of Joseph, was placed at Jacob's right hand where he would have typically received the full birthright blessing (verse 13). Ephraim, the younger of the boys, was positioned so that Jacob's left hand would have been on his head—denoting a lesser blessing.
Notice the divine intervention. Under God's direction, Jacob crossed his hands deliberately so that the greater of the blessings went not to the older Manasseh, but to Ephraim, the younger lad.
"And his father refused and said, 'I know it, my son, I know it. He [Manasseh] also shall become a people, and he also shall be great, but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude [a company, or commonwealth] of nations.' And he blessed them that day, saying, 'In you shall Israel bless, saying, "God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh." ' And [thus] he put Ephraim before [ahead of] Manasseh" (verses 14-20).
But notice also that Jacob passed the greater portion of the birthright blessing—which was normally reserved for the firstborn, the oldest—on to Ephraim, the younger of the two. Thus, as noted in verse 20, Jacob "put Ephraim before Manasseh"—that is, Ephraim was placed ahead of or in preference to Manasseh in terms of blessings. Also, as history would go on to prove, Ephraim would grow into the promised "company of nations" first; Manasseh would follow some time later, developing into a single great nation.
Again, ancient Israel has in no way fulfilled this prophetic promise. Ephraim was unquestionably the dominant tribe of the northern kingdom— but was always only one tribe, not a "company" of tribes, let alone a company of nations. Neither has this prophecy been fulfilled by the Jews.
As we search for the modern descendants of the "lost" tribes of Israel, we must look for a company or commonwealth of nations—one which is closely related to a single great nation. This is the key to identifying modern Israel today.
When it comes to understanding biblical prophecy, it is imperative to know just who is Israel. What nation or nations qualify today as Israel—by God's definition? The answer is quite astonishing.
Notice in Jacob's blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh that he passed on something else to the boys, something quite profound—his very name. In Genesis 48:16, Jacob said, "let my name be named on them" (KJV). In other words, "may they be called by my name." Jacob's name had been changed, by God, to Israel. Thus, Ephraim and Manasseh inherited the name Israel.
Now we see why Jacob adopted Joseph's boys. The name Israel could not be legally conferred to Ephraim and Manasseh by Joseph himself; thus, Jacob "adopted" the boys in order to pass his name directly to them. The name Israel would be indelibly stamped on Ephraim and Manasseh.
The fact is, the modern descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh— whoever and wherever they may be today—are biblical Israel. They alone carry the name Israel—not the Jews, who are but a remnant of the ancient tribal nation of Judah. Indeed, Jacob's prophecies about Joseph's two sons had nothing to do with the Jews—for Judah was not even present at the time. While there are actually several modern-day nations that can trace their origins to the various "lost" tribes of Israel (such as the French being descendants of the tribe of Reuben), only the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh prophetically carry the name Israel.
This is profound knowledge—the master key to understanding Bible prophecy—overlooked by theologians and scholars. Hundreds of prophetic references to Jacob or Israel—which have long been assumed to refer to the Jews—apply first and foremost to the modern descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (especially those prophecies relating to the latter days).
Who then, according to Scripture, is the real Israel? Who has the right to the name Jacob or Israel? Only Ephraim and Manasseh—who were to develop into a great company of nations and a single great nation.
But who and where are they today?
Ephraim and Manasseh, who inherited Joseph's blessings, were destined to become notably fruitful—like a well-watered plant whose vines or branches extend far beyond their natural borders. This points not only to rich agricultural blessings, but also to the large populations promised to Abraham. That Joseph's vines or branches run over the wall points to colonization (we have already seen in Genesis 28:14 that Abraham's descendants were to "spread abroad" in all directions). Thus, Joseph's offspring would become prosperous, well populated, and highly productive nations—spreading around the world through the establishment of colonies.
"With bitterness and hatred [Joseph's] enemies have attacked him, but his arms have remained strong and quick as he aims his bow accurately—because his power comes from the Mighty One of Jacob, the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel" (verses 23-24).
These two verses indicate that Joseph's descendants, Ephraim and Manasseh, would be unjustly attacked and provoked—resulting in their involvement in major military conflicts. Yet they would be victorious by God's help. What nation and company of nations does this suggest?
"Indeed, your father's God, the Almighty, has helped you and blessed you with the blessings of the heavens above, with the blessings of the deep that are hidden below, and with the blessings of the breast and womb. The blessings I proclaim for you are as certain as the ancient mountains, as sure as the age-old hills. Let all these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, on the one most distinguished among his brothers" (verses 25- 26).
These material blessings are obvious: blessings of heaven refers to rich agricultural abundance—produce, grain crops, orchards, etc.—made possible by plentiful rainfall in due season; blessings of the deep refers to rich natural resources such as oil, coal, minerals—all that lies beneath (including beneath the seas). Of course, blessings of the breasts and of the womb refer to large, growing populations (recall the earlier promise to Rebekah, that her and Isaac's seed would grow into an incalculable multitude).
"May the LORD bless your land with the precious rain of heaven above [abundant crops and produce from rain in due season] and with the deep waters that lie below [the abundance from the seas]. May He bless you with the best produce the sun brings forth and the finest fruits the months yield [produce in its season]; with the choicest treasures of the ancient mountains and the precious resources of the everlasting hills; with the very best gifts the earth can offer [abundant mineral resources]—and may you delight in the favor of Him Who once dwelt in the burning bush. Let all these blessings rest on the head of Joseph, on the one preeminent among his brothers.
"Joseph's glory is like that of a firstborn bull—but with the strong horns [symbolic of power and influence] of a wild ox! He uses them to push at the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Thus describes the multitudes of Ephraim, and the host of Manasseh" (verses 13-17; author's paraphrase).
Again, these passages portray great national wealth, abundance, fruitfulness, large populations, along with global influence and prestige. The middle part of verse 17—Joseph using his "horns" to push at the nations, even those at ends of the earth—clearly suggests worldwide influence and military reach.
God's promises to Abraham have been fulfilled—on one level—in that the ancient Kingdom of Israel, as a great nation, possessed the "Promised Land" in the time of Solomon (Deut. 1:10; I Kings 4:20-21, 24-25). But the promises were to be multiplied many times over—"May the LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times more than you are, and bless you as He has promised you!" (Deut. 1:11). As we have seen, God continued to expand on His promises to Abraham through each succeeding generation as they were passed on to Ephraim and Manasseh. In those two tribes—who alone carry the name Israel—the birthright promises were to reach their zenith.
Indeed, the Abrahamic promises clearly describe a "company" (or commonwealth) of nations and a single "great" nation; together, they are a highly productive, populous people who have expanded their territories by colonization—and even possess their enemies' sea gates. With favorable climates, rich soil, abundant rainfall, and vast natural resources (oil, coal, timber, minerals, etc.), they have inherited the choicest parts of the earth. Their economic stature and military might give them superpower status, allowing them great international influence—politically, economically, and culturally.
Without question, these amazing promises must be fulfilled exactly as described or the Bible is a fraud. In all of history, what nations fully and accurately match the highly detailed descriptions we have seen here in the Abrahamic promises?
When we put all of the evidence together, the answer is clear: Great Britain and the United States of America fulfill the covenant promises God made to Abraham! Ephraim was to become a "company" of nations— fulfilled through the British Empire; Manasseh was to become a single great nation—fulfilled through America. Astonishingly, these English-speaking nations are none other than the modern-day descendants of Joseph—and they alone carry the prophetic name Israel!


My reasons for supporting the All Whites are these: Anything that reduces the dominance of rugby in this country's attention is good; NZ always tends to punch over its weight in sport so poor odds don't put me off; and myself and my kids went to watch the All Whites train in my suburb before the Bahrain match — they were friendly, approachable, grateful for the support — unlike those rich, unapproachable superstars sometimes called the All Blacks.
Do you think that in places like Italy or Portugal, the situation might be a bit similar only reversed? I think you'll find the All Blacks have had more public trainings that any other code, and actually have showcases where the kids can come along SPECIFICALLY to meet their heroes. Lets not forget the All Blacks are the most bankable brand in the country. Enjoy the success the All Whites are providing, but don't bag others who have higher profiles on the world stage for having some infrequent time out of the spotlight.

Can't You Hear Me Knocking (1971)
Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
What are DNA Source Songs™? Suggest a source song for inclusion via Rock Populi.
Of the scores of articles that examine "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" – one of the mainstays off the 1971 Stones' album, Sticky Fingers – none mentions the unmistakable imprint of the Steve Winwood-led group, Traffic.
As much as reviewers might jawbone about the pervasive influence of Carlos Santana on the lengthy jam at the end of the song, they are mistaken that Santana defines the song. A close listen will convince most trained ears that they are hearing a different, jazzier turn than blues-based Santana attained. And the rhythm section reeks of the London music scene of the 1960s and '70s.
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking"
https://songmango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Cant-You-Hear-Me-Knocking.mp3
The Rolling Stones' Brooklyn-born producer Jimmy Miller, who played percussion on "Knocking," produced records for Winwood's first two bands, the Spencer Davis Group and Traffic. Miller's sound influence as producer, and sometime percussionist, is also all over Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile On Main St. and Goats Head Soup. Miller also produced super-group Blind Faith's lone album.
A listen to the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man" – as well as Traffic's "Feelin' Alright," "Shanghai Noodle Factory" and "Glad" – provides solid evidence. So do countless other records from the era.

This was the tangible "high tide and green grass" period for the Rolling Stones.
A Tale Of Two Micks: Taylor and Jagger
Not merely coincidentally, they are the same years that Mick Taylor was their "second" guitarist. Although Taylor's solo career never fully blossomed, he is among the true greats, having begun his ascent with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, as did Eric Clapton. Listen to the up-tempo parts of "Bare Wires Suite" from Mayall's 1968 album Bare Wires to catch Taylor's seminal sound found later on "Can't You Hear Me Knocking."
The song features Taylor and Richards laying down one of the greatest electric-guitar duels in rock history. But only after Keith opens the track with a specially tuned guitar (open-G, for those who care). And after Charlie Watts steps up the groove a thousand notches with blowback submachine-gun tats on the drums. And after Mick Jagger gets a few lines into his gnarly vocals.
Taylor and Richards are two ace players, both able to play fast and loud, but also with a certain refinement that contrasts engagingly against Jagger's ragged attitude.
Mick's snarling, begging, defiant vocals rank high among his best efforts. The drug-soaked, addled year of 1971 whipped up the frenzy in his voice as he chases a girl as hip and high as he is:
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive
Can't you hear me knockin' on your window
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door
Can't you hear me knockin' down your dirty street, yeah
Help me baby, I ain't no stranger
March 1971: Jagger, Taylor, Richards and Watts
There's no disputing that we're being taken down a dirty, dirty street. But, this being London, eventually we are taken down a "gaslight street," too.
Drug-fueled, chasing the fleeting girl down the old streets, there's no doubt what brother Mick wants from the girl. He smells sex.
He's a dog, a wolf, possessed, deep into a manic episode. He's pushed on by an ensemble that cooks, slaps and bangs, hotter and hotter, using multiple rhythms and multiple layers of instrumentation.
Organist Billy Preston had spent time working with The Beatles before the break-up. Think "Get Back" and much of the rest of the Let It Be album, as well as on bits and pieces of Abbey Road. Preston keeps the inner-city organ pumping. (He also backed Sam Cooke in 1963, Little Richard occasionally, and was in Ray Charles' house band for a number of years.)
https://songmango.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/01-Get-Back.mp3
Saxophonist Bobby Keys lends the flavor of mid- to late-1960s Traffic work. His fluttering, honking and howling serve not only to create sub-melodies; they add another dimension to the sizzling rhythms. But back to the lyrics and Jagger:
Can't you hear me knockin'
Yeah, throw me down the keys
Hear me ringing big bell tolls
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kickin', help me please
Hear me prowlin'
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growlin'
Yeah, I've got flatted feet
Now, now, now, now
Hear me howlin'
As the vocal section ends, a chorus made up of Satan's demonic host joins with Jagger's clawing voice. There's only one way out of the lusty dementia: let the music take over.
Poster boy Keith Richards
Keys unleashes the greatest saxophone solo in rock-n-roll history on "Knocking." He eventually yields the front of the band to the two guitarists. And yes, here there are some Santana-ish raindrops to Mick Taylor's solo, but it is just a tone and that mist soon blows away. Meanwhile Richards echoes and varies his opening riff repeatedly but as a rhythm guitar part. The interplay between the two is magnificent, perfect.
The listener can sense the end of the song coming, and in that, the arrangement, as ad hoc as the jam may seem, can be identified as pitch-perfect in terms of effect. Everyone, from the musicians to the engineers to the band to the listener, is split in his or her feelings.
This is the kind of song – even at 7:15 – that intellectually we want to continue forever. But, emotionally, we want it to stop. Please! Stop! No, no… go on…
When it stops, it stops with a screech of the brakes just as it enters the hallowed halls to take its place as one of the greatest rock classics of all time.
Here's the band performing the song live with the incomparable Bobby Keys on sax:

Stones drummer Charlie Watts said of the song: "As a lead, virtuoso guitar, Mick Taylor was so lyrical on songs like 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking', which was an amazing track because that was a complete jam, one take in the end. He had such a good ear, and I would help push him along."

"There can only be one … One what?" I asked.
Her voice and that of the creek were difficult to distinguish, but I heard her clearly all the same. The implications of what she meant seeped into and stilled my heart, leaving nothing but her words echoing in my ears.
She meant it was time to choose.
I knew this moment would come, and my decision had already been made. Months ago the soothsayer showed me where my path would diverge.
The depth of my pain upon acknowledging the choice I'd made was what surprised me.
I stop at this rock for stretching exercises and morning sun salutations after walking and/or jogging to the mailbox. Our mailbox is about 1/2 mile away on our hilly driveway, so it's a good hike whether I meander or push myself to jog any of it.

When I co-authored the New York Times best-selling book Murdered by Mumia in 2008, the memoir of a Philadelphia police officer's widow, I never thought I'd still be discussing the case a full 11 years later – 38 years after the murder!
But it's back in the news, and I should not be surprised.
On December 9, 1981, at about 4am, 25-year-old Daniel Faulkner was executed while making what seemed like a routine traffic stop.
Faulkner pulled over William Cook, who was driving his Volkswagen the wrong way on a one-way street in the city's red light district.
Cook's brother, Mumia Abu-Jamal was himself then an out-of-work journalist driving a cab. His revolutionary ideas were well-documented.
Four eyewitnesses testified at trial as to what happened next.
Their testimony portrayed a horrific sequence – one where Abu-Jamal ran across the street, shot Officer Faulkner in the back and finally between the eyes.
Before that final fatal shot, Officer Faulkner had himself discharged his gun, hitting Abu-Jamal in the stomach.
With that bullet, you could say he confirmed the identity of his executioner.
When police arrived quickly on the scene, Abu-Jamal was still wearing his shoulder holster.
The murder weapon was registered to Abu-Jamal. He'd purchased it at a local sporting goods store. The 5-shot charter arms revolver contained five spent shells.
Ballistics tests verified that the bullets found in Abu-Jamal's gun were the same caliber brand and type as the fatal bullet removed from Officer Faulkner's brain.
So the case had eyewitnesses, a ballistics match, and a confession.
Danny Faulkner left behind a young widow, Maureen, who for four decades has stood up to a torrent of lies and misinformation about the case.
For reasons that have never made sense, Abu-Jamal was championed by death penalty opponents the world over.
Now the case is back in the news. A Philadelphia judge has ruled a state supreme court justice, who himself was a former City DA, should have recused himself when Abu-Jamal's case came before the high court.
As to that new issue, I note that for the Justice at issue – Ron Castille – he didn't even get to the Supreme Court until 1994, and there is no evidence that he was biased against the defendant and he never cast a deciding vote on the case.
In other words, if he had recused or had not shown up to vote, the result would have been exactly the same. Without him, there would have been an overwhelming majority to affirm even without Castille's supposedly-biased vote.
Abu-Jamal's brother, William Cook, saw it all. It was his car stop that set in motion the chain of events.
His words to police upon their arrival were "I ain't got nothing to do with it," and he has never testified on his brother's behalf.
Let me say that again: the brother of the man convicted of killing the cop himself never took the stand to tell a different story and he was there.
Think about that as the case is again debated in public.


On Monday, Trudeau outlined his national plan to tax carbon, saying the government will establish a "floor price" on carbon pollution at $10 a tonne in 2018 — which would increase to $50 a tonne by 2022.
Debate over the carbon price plan dominated QP today, with the prime minister and a number of his cabinet ministers taking turns fielding the attacks.
The parties and members threw punches from different angles. Ed Fast, the Conservative party's environment and climate change critic, reprimanded the government for disrespecting policy areas under provincial jurisdiction. Fast cited the fact that the Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland environment ministers walked out in protest in the midst of a meeting in Montreal with their federal counterpart, Catherine McKenna.
Conservative MP David Anderson passionately told the House the carbon tax would hurt "struggling rural families." His caucus colleagues Shannon Stubbs and Lisa Raitt — the latter a strong prospect for a run at her party's leadership — argued that the tax also would hurt low-income families and those on fixed incomes, like seniors.
Boy, the MPs were rowdy today. During the heated back-and-forth over the carbon pricing plan, politicians of all political stripes talked and shouted over ministers' responses — prompting Speaker Geoff Regan to call for order multiple times.
Carolyn Bennett, minister of indigenous and northern affairs, also got cheeky today, provoking a reaction from Regan. In response to a question from NDP MP Charlie Angus, Bennett called Angus by his first name — a faux-pas in the House — and then "corrected" herself by calling Angus "Charlie Brown." Regan subsequently asked Bennett not to refer to members as cartoon characters.


Will The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit Hurt Their Relations?
This is the fourth of a four-part series exploring U.S. President Barack Obama's upcoming U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit Aug. 4-6 in Washington, D.C. Part four asks whether the summit is a risky undertaking for the White House. Part three showed how energy is a big issue at the summit; Part two looked at side events associated with the summit; and Part one illustrated the issues and events surrounding the summit.
The U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit Aug. 4-6 will focus on trade and investment by bringing nearly 50 heads of state together with a couple of hundred American corporate leaders in the largest gathering of African leadership in the U.S. at one time.
Indeed, the Summit offers a significant opportunity to enhance U.S.-Africa relationships – something the Administration has been moving towards during the President's second term and announced the Summit during a visit to Africa last summer.
"The upcoming summit provides access to nearly all of the leaders of Africa, especially small and infrequently visited nations, and bilateral meetings help to instill confidence and credibility in United States. This is a diplomatic and symbolic opportunity that should not be missed," writes Amadou Sy, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute Africa Growth Initiative.
But as the Summit has been approaching, there has been a flurry of Op-Ed articles – both from critics and supporters – raising concerns and giving advice as to how the President can make the Summit really work.
"They started out, frankly, in a not so great way because they basically were saying to heads of state 'save the date,' a save the date notice like you and I would get for somebody's birthday party," former Connecticut Congressman Toby Moffett told AFKInsider.
"I think that was a bad start, but I think they've recovered from that," said Moffett, who is currently a Senior Adviser at the national law firm Mayer Brown and has over 20 years of experience representing African countries, companies and non-government organizations.
Leading up to the Summit there has been some comparison of the White House event with the three well established Africa summits hosted each by China, the European Union and Japan.
Of course comparing to the other summits – which have had plenty of time to work out the kinks – is unfair at this point with the enormous undertaking of putting on a "first" Summit.
"That's right, they've been doing it for so long and no (one) has ever brought this many heads of state to the U.S. for any purpose and it's not easy," Moffett told AFKInsider.
Recently, the Brookings Institute's Africa Growth Initiative reviewed the components of three longstanding Africa summits in China, the European Union and Japan. In a June report, Brookings pointed out some of the key differences in White House's first U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit.
According to Brookings, Japan's Tokyo International Conference for African Development started in 1993 and has met every five years since. China's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the E.U.-Africa summit both started in 2000, with China's meeting every three years while the E.U.-Africa summit has met three times.
The comparisons have raised issues that some Administration critics feel could de-rail the Summit.
Critics are already questioning the success of the Summit based on the absence of one-on-one meetings with President Obama.
"I don't think that he's planning on doing one-on-one White House meetings with them, no, but the anticipation is that he's going to spend most of the day with them and the evening before, so there will be a lot of time for him to have interactions with them," a State Department official told AFKInsider.
"I wish that he would have some one-on-ones, which is very out of protocol frankly and it irritates some presidents," Hayes told AFKInsider.
Nearly every African head of state met the Chinese leadership one-on-one during their last summit. Japan followed suite, giving each of the invited African leaders a 15-minute meeting with Japan's Prime Minister over a three-day period in June 2013.
"But this is the United States, and they will come and they will access and that's why I said it was a 'high risk Summit' because this is really not normal protocol and we're not terribly protocol-conscious country either. I'm not saying that as a criticism, it's just the nature of the U.S.," Hayes told AFKInsider.
"There's very little bilateral stuff here and the Administration, I think rightly, has to take the position that they couldn't do a lot of one-on-ones," Moffett told AFKInsider, noting that move will keep anyone from going home disappointed.
In fact, the president could find himself in the company of all types of leaders—the good, the bad and the ugly – from the U.S. government's perspective.
"These leaders know, and a lot of other people know, the U.S. is way behind in several areas regarding Africa. And so they don't expect the kind of reception that you might get elsewhere, where countries are much more savvy about Africa," says Moffett.
The U.S. has invited 48 out of the 54 countries in Africa, but has excluded the Central African Republic, Egypt, Eritrea, Guinea Bissau, Sudan and Zimbabwe from the party because they are not in good standing with the African Union or the United States.

Today we took two separate trams to Drogenbos to do some car shopping. And . . . wow. Never would I go so far as to say I miss car shopping in the U.S., where the greasy used car salesman is a well-tread stereotype (usually lived up to or surpassed). And yet, I have never in my life encountered salespeople as passive as these. Not that I am unaccustomed, at this point, to hearing Ce n'est pas possible upon entering a store, or a local vendor being exceptionellement fermé on the day you happened to count on them being open. But not until we went shopping for a car - as our purchases go, a fairly big-ticket item - did I realize the extent of this country's lack of interest in commerce.
Our first stop was MyWay, a VW, Audi, and Skoda dealer, which came recommended by a Belgian friend. I asked upon entering the showroom whether they had occasions/tweedehandse auto's. In response, I was first met by a blank stare, which then morphed into a facial expression that was basically the equivalent of "Duh," and told in English to "go look around in the lot outside, and write down the number of the parking spot if you're interested." Bowled over by his aggressive sales tactics, J and I did as instructed. Some cars were marked with year, mileage and price; others weren't. Similar cars were identically priced, but somehow the estimated monthly payment fluctuated wildly. The highly motivated salesperson later explained that "these numbers are meaningless, just the calculations of the marketing people." From whom, it seemed, he could stand to learn a few tricks.
After marking the numbers of the cars we liked, we tried to ask some questions while standing opposite the desk where our distinguished salesperson was lounging. At no point did he invite us to sit down, or did his mildly irritated facial expression, as if we were bothering rather than trying to buy a car from him, leave his face. It was almot impossible to extract anything beyond basic information from him, and even the basics ("How would you compare diesel to gasoline?" "What are the advantages of the Turbo Diesel vs. the Trendline?") were elusive. Rather than answering our questions, or uttering a single phrase that might spur us to purchase a vehicle, he appeared perfectly satisfied to respond exclusively with facial expressions conveying something along the lines of "What are you, stupid?" (He spoke English fairly well, so language wasn't the problem.) Right before we decided to leave, he deigned to recommend two cars on the lot that we might consider. But by that point, we had been on the premises for almost an hour, and were beyond discouraged.
We decided to visit a couple of other dealers in the vicinity, with somewhat dissimilar but equally bizarre results. The saleswoman at Ford was more motivated - although we had to approach her in her office, where she was chatting with a colleague. Here, too, most of our questions were answered with facial expressions along the lines of "What, do you have a brain the size of a pea?" This included the question about financing, to which she responded, "Well, if you really want a financing plan from us, we can work it out, probably, but why don't you just go to the bank?" (Maybe because you can make more money off of us if you just answer the question and offer a financing plan.) She then pulled out a calculator, but only while sighing as if we had asked for her first-born child.
Another stop was the Fiat dealer, who did not have used cars, so we stopped to admire the Cinquecento. I explained to the beachwear-clad salesperson that I liked the car a lot, but that we were expecting a baby, and it was probably too small for us. To which he replied, Désolé, or "I'm sorry." A greasy American salesperson would have quickly ushered us to a car the next size up, but not so in Belgium.
Very odd. I asked my Belgian boyfriend about this, he's never "shopped" for a car and neither have his parents, they've all received company cars. He surfs Belgian car forums and can say that most people have this experience, and have even been told that they look too poor to be on the lot at all, etc. So he told me it definitely isn't because you're foreign (American?) - that most people are treated like this.
So I asked why they would look at you strange for asking your questions (gas vs. diesel, etc) - he replied that "Belgians already know these things". So maybe it's a question for google. I know my boyfriend prefers gas because it is a quieter engine and easier to drive, and that diesel is bad if you're primarily going to travel short distances/trips because it ruins the engine but by litre diesel is cheaper at the pump.
As for trendline, he says that the -line labelled cars (only Audi or VW) represent the amount of features available in the car.
I hope this helped. If you have questions that can't be answered by your Belgian friends feel free to email me (kosmonik at gmail). Good luck!

Gulf Intracoastal Waterway - Florida's West Coast
Cruising/Navigating - Florida's (West Coast)
Sanibel Island to Anclote Key
The Florida (West Coast) portion of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GICW) has its beginning near Punta Rassa, FL and the Sanibel Island Causeway. The GICW begins at mile marker (MM "0.0") in San Carlos Bay at 26°30.6'N / 82°01.1'W, close to the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River and its junction with Okeechobee Waterway.
From its starting point, this section of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway runs generally in a northerly direction ending at 28°10.4'N / 82°49.5'W (MM "150.0") located between the southern tip of Anclote Key and the approaches to the Anclote River leading into Tarpon Springs.
Buoyage
The GICW is marked the same as the AICW, where Aids to Navigation displaying yellow triangles are kept to starboard and those displaying yellow squares should be kept to port along the entire length of the waterway. While typically the yellow triangles will be found on red markers and yellow squares are found on green markers, caution should be exercised where the GICW intersects or coincides with a channel marked by the Lateral System.

Gulf Intracoastal Waterway Introduction
Florida (West Coast) Intracoastal Waterway

Mississippi Intracoastal Waterway
Louisiana Intracoastal Waterway
Texas Intracoastal Waterway
NOAA chart coverage of this portion of the GICW beginning at mile marker "0.0" to mile marker "150.0" is provided by charts #11427, #11425, #11416, and #11411. These charts can be viewed by clicking on the links below:
Chart #11427 - Ft. Meyers to Charlotte Harbor

Chart #11416 - Tampa Bay ICW Extension
Chart #11411 - Tampa Bay to Port Richey
All distances along the Florida Gulf Intracoastal Waterway are given in statute miles unless otherwise noted. Statute miles are used in order to conform to the distances shown on the small craft charts typically used along this route.
Like the AICW, the portion of the GICW between Punta Rassa and Anclote Key is measured based on increasing mileage from MM "0.0."
The Federal project depth for this portion of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway provides for a channel depth of 9 feet and a channel width of 100 feet. Even though every effort is made to maintain the project depth, the actual controlling depths in the channels may vary due to shoaling reducing the available water depth until maintenance dredging can be accomplished.
All operating bridges in Florida guard VHF Channel 09.
The U.S. Coast Guard advises all vessels to exercise caution in any area where the GICW intersects major shipping channels. A "Security Call" on VHF channel 13 is requested prior to crossing any shipping channels, especially during periods of restricted visibility.
Florida's West Coast GICW Bridge Schedule
At last count, a total of 25 bridges cross the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between Punta Rassa and Anclote Key, FL. The fixed bridges along this route provide a minimum vertical clearances of 65'.

Overhead Cable and Power Lines
The minimum authorized clearance of overhead cables crossing this section of the GICW is 88 feet and is found at the Manasota Beach Bascule Bridge (MM "49.9".)
Caution - Many of the overhead cables crossing the waterway carry high voltage, an extra margin of safety should be allowed in the event of threatening weather.
Tidal ranges are fairly small along Florida's west coast. Under normal conditions the mean range of tide averages 1' at Ft. Myers and at Punta Rassa and increasing to a little more than 2½' at Anclote Key.
The type of tide experienced in this area is commonly referred to as a "Mixed Tide" - exhibiting (2) unequal high tides and (2) unequal low tides each day.
Entrances, Inlets, and Passes
There are numerous Entrances, Inlets, or Passes between the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the West Coast of Florida. Between Sanibel Island in the south and Port Richey to the north, there were 23 at last count. All provide access to sheltered inland waters with most providing access to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
While many of these are only suitable for shallow draft vessels and/or local knowledge, some can be considered navigable for most vessels. We have listed them on the next page along with useful information on each to aid you in deciding if you wish to use a particular inlet.
NEXT - Florida's West Coast - Entrances, Inlets, & Passes
After leaving Anclote Key, it is a 132 NM open water passage to East Pass and the vicinity of Carrabelle, FL where you can again rejoin the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) at (MM "376.5 EHL").

Finally a fan favorite is in negotiations for a Marvel film. According to Deadline, Benedict Cumberbatch should be Doctor Strange and the newest hero to join the Marvel cinematic universe. After Joaquin Phoenix recently bowed out, many had thought that Benedict Cumberbatch wasn't a front runner, so it's pleasantly surprising to hear that he very well may be Marvel's heroic doctor.
Marvel has finally found its Doctor Strange. I'm hearing Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio's choice for the superhero pic, and negotiations are about to begin.
I am choosing words wisely with this news because until negotiations are finished, nothing is "truly" finalized. It is reported that Benedict Cumberbatch is further along than Joaquin Phoenix was in the process but we've all seen how quickly things can fall apart.
Phoenix never had a deal, and Marvel quickly got into it with other actors to play Doctor Strange in a free-standing film.

I love Benedict Cumberbatch and I also think he is one of the most under-appreciated actors currently working in Hollywood. He's got versatility and deep range as an actor and if you've seen the BBC show "Sherlock," then you will know he's got the reclusive intelligence to fit into Doctor Strange's mystic realm.
I would say that the deal is pretty much done but again, we don't want to speak in absolutes when there is definitely nothing absolute about this deal as of yet. If this deal does finalize then I think that the only thing that fans should worry about is how Benedict Cumberbatch will look with facial hair.

The politics of brain injury
Sex in the Brain: Homo/Heterosexuality
As has been discussed in my previous blog posts, head trauma can affect someone's sexual preferences in a number of ways. While uncommon, such things like hypersexuality, an infatuation with pornography and public sexual innuendo can have extremely negative effects. Another possible effect may not be negative, but rather confusing to the person it happens to is a change from heterosexuality to homosexuality, or vice versa.
The concept of changed sexual orientation post-brain injury was first examined by UCLA and reported to the NIH in 1986. The study evaluated the medical cases of four people with various types of altered sexual behavior following a brain injury. Altered sexual behavior is a broad term and implies everything from hypersexuality to pedophilia. Specific to this article, though, one of these cases followed a married, previously heterosexual woman who, following a brain injury, "made both oral and manual sexual advances to female attendants in the hospital."
Recently, new evidence was found to promote the idea of the possibility of a change in sexual orientation due to a brain injury when former NFL star and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez committed suicide. After his death, letters were found in which he expressed his homosexual urges, which he says followed the head trauma he was subjected to as a player in the NFL. A post-humorous examination of Hernandez's body discovered that he did suffer from CTE. (Hernandez's wife says that she saw no signs of his new urges and that she and her husband had a healthy sexual life. Others state that they knew of his sexual orientation and that his urges greatly preceded his head trauma.)
Investigating the medically-defined reason for changes in gender-related sexual orientation has found a number of answers. Predominantly, injury to the basal frontal area and the temporal lobes of the brain are defined as the reason for changes in sexual orientation. A condition known as the Kluver-Bucy Syndrome is also identified as a reason. Also a rare behavior impairment that can be caused either by a head trauma and by herpes, this syndrome involves the sex hormones produced in the brain. Studies have also found that homosexual men and heterosexual women have a similar smaller volume of hypothalamic nucleuses, among other things. The size and/or location of amygdia connections and the location of the cerebral hemispheres may also have an effect.
Above I have noted four brain cell alterations that can occur following a brain injury and may affect sexual orientation as it relates to preference. The fact that the subject of gender sexual orientation after brain injury has been studied by the government for over 30 years, in both animals and humans, is evidence that no definitive reason for the change has been found. Additionally, while studies seem to all focus on brain injuries changing someone's orientation from hetero to homosexuality, the opposite must also be true. Also, others do not believe it is possible for a brain injury to alter one's sexuality at all. As homosexuality has gained and will continue to gain more cultural acceptance, perhaps more research and, therefore, more scientific understanding of the topic will be found.

Q: Dimension and intersection of algebraic varieties Let $L,M$ be projective varieties over $\mathbb C$ of same dimension.
1) Assuming $L$ and $M$ are embedded hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$, is it true that $L$ and $M$ must have non-empty intersection? If $n=2$ yes, this is Bézout's theorem, but wikipedia states something for the intersection of $n$ hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$...
2) Is it true that either $L=M$ or $L \cap M$ has dimension strictly less than that of $L$ and $M$?

A: 1) Yes. As you mention, this follows from the general version of Bezout's theorem. But there is a more basic explanation, as follows:

Proposition: Let $L$ and $M$ be subvarieties of $\mathbf P^n$ with $\operatorname{dim} L = n-1$ and $\operatorname{dim }M >0$. Then $L \cap M \neq \emptyset$.

Proof: Using the appropriate Veronese embedding,  we see that $\mathbf P^n \setminus L$ is affine. But an affine variety cannot contain a projective subvariety of positive dimension.
2) The answer depends on your definition of "variety".
If it includes "irreducible", then the answer is yes: a proper closed subset of an irreducible variety has lower dimension than the variety. (This is either an exercise or completely immediate, depending on your definition of dimension.)
If "variety" does not include "irreducible", then the answer is no: $L \cap M$ could be a common maximal-dimensional component of $L$ and $M$.


COLUMBIA (AP) — A shooting inside a South Carolina hospital on Thursday left both a police officer and the suspected gunman wounded, authorities said, in what was the second shooting inside a hospital in the state in two days.
Moore said the police officer was treated and released. The officer's name was not released as of Thursday.
State Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter said Wednesday that the family was told to come back because there weren't enough treatment beds.
Before the hospital shooting, deputies said they encountered Sabb after his girlfriend called 911 to report that he had fired a gun while she tried to take it from him. The officers gave the gun to Sabb's father, according to the police report.
Sabb was ordered to remain in jail at a court hearing Thursday. One of the nurse's family members said at the hearing that the nurse was in critical condition. The family member did not identify herself.


Making the decision to go on a ketogenic diet is not an easy one. People who follow the ketogenic diet do it for all sorts of reasons. Some may simply want to lose weight while others may be attempting to treat a medical condition. Since weight loss comes so easily when you follow a ketogenic diet, it leaves many people wondering whether exercise is a good idea. While the common sense answer is that you should exercise, this isn't always the best advice. A ketogenic diet has certain limitations and you'll need to choose your exercise routines carefully. There are some types of exercise that are more beneficial to an individual who is in ketosis. With so many myths about how the ketogenic diet can affect you, it's important to take care to make certain you're getting the right information.
It's important to note that a ketogenic diet can be used for a long period of time without noticeable side effects. There have been studies that attempt to gauge the effect of a ketogenic diet over a long period of time. These studies have shown it to be safe and capable of reducing the level of triglycerides, bad cholesterol and blood glucose levels. It's also been shown that the diet can improve levels of the good cholesterol. Studies have not seen any adverse side effects in a keto diet, but there are also some benefits for the athlete.
People often wonder whether they need to exercise since the ketogenic diet is so effective at helping you to lose weight. There are multiple health benefits, including improved bone mineral density, improved immunity and improved diabetes management. Exercise is also suitable for helping you to improve your brain and cardiovascular health. People who exercise and maintain the diet can also expect to have an increased life expectancy. High blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease and cancer can also be reduced through exercise.
While there are several studies that show exercise can help improve your mood, stamina and general well-being, exercise can only do so much if you aren't taking care of your diet. The way you eat has a large impact on your risk factors. Exercise will make your body strong and help you enjoy your life with more energy, but it's really the diet that is going to have the biggest impact on your weight loss. However, the combination of a good diet and exercise seems to have the most dramatic effect on fat loss. To maintain optimal health, it's important to find time to get your exercise.
In a study from Ohio State University, a group of elite endurance athletes was monitored on a ketogenic diet. The athletes who ate very few carbohydrates burned more than twice as much fat as the athletes who followed a more traditional high-carb diet. It was the highest fat-burning rate that has ever been recorded by researchers. The study targeted top athletes who were competing in running events that exceeded more than 30 miles in a single race. This is crucial because keto dieters are often told that endurance running is simply not possible on a keto diet.
These are athletes who regularly run for three hours at a time out on the open road and on a treadmill. The study was restricted to athletes who had been running for at least six months while on a ketogenic diet. Since it can take some time to enter ketosis, this ensured that all of the athletes were used to the diet and not suffering from some of the side effects that plague newcomers to the diet. The athletes were heavily monitored with sensors. Researchers found that oxygen consumption, perceived exertion and calorie expenditure were all the same. The low-carb athletes saw a fat burn that was almost double that of the standard athletes.
Another important takeaway is that the low-carb burners also had normal levels of glycogen in the body. This surprised the researchers, and they only have some vague guesses as to why this may be the case. People have often believed that you need to bring in carbohydrates to maintain adequate levels of glycogen. This is why endurance sports have often been frowned upon for ketogenic dieters. However, the results of this study seem to suggest that provided you give your body the right nutrients, the body can compensate and keep glycogen levels stable even when carbohydrates are limited. The study suggests that the human body is highly adaptable, and we are well-prepared to switch to a "keto mode" when our diets permit.
If you want to build muscle, many keto dieters will insist that it can't be done without carbohydrates. While it's not wise to begin a strength training routine while your body is adapting to a strength-training regimen. One of the biggest issues with ketogenic diets is that you need to eat enough calories to maintain adequate muscle growth. A ketogenic diet eventually naturally suppresses your appetite. This means that you will have to ensure you're keeping your caloric intake up if you plan on taking part in a strength training regimen.
Weight training is perfectly fine on a ketogenic diet. The muscle-sparing effects of the diet will make it possible to preserve and build lean muscle mass. A proper weight training routine won't necessarily make you bulky, but you will get stronger and increase your muscle density. For women who are concerned about becoming bulky through exercise, most women simply don't have the hormones required to make that kind of change in their body. Strength training will typically only result in a more defined body. It takes some serious effort and a carefully controlled workout regimen to pack on pounds of muscle.
One benefit of strength training is that by packing on the muscle, you'll increase the rate that you burn calories even at rest. This is why many people who are trying to bulk up will concentrate on building the muscle first and adding a significant number of carbohydrates to their diet and then cut back to begin building a more defined physique. However, the myth that you can't build muscle and stay lean at the same time simply isn't true for the keto dieter. On a keto diet, your body will be able to grow while continuing to act as a fat-burning machine.
Perhaps one of the better methods of burning excess fat and getting in shape is through the use of high-intensity intermittent training, also known as HIIT or HIIE. This training technique allows you to get the best of both worlds. You're training your cardiovascular system while building muscle and cutting calories. This sort of exercise also typically results in more calorie burning in less time over conventional exercises like cardio.
One of the issues with cardio exercise is that it puts extra strain on the body. This results in an increase in the production of cortisol, which can result in those pounds packing on around the stomach area. Cardio also makes you hungrier, and you'll be more likely to overeat and counter the effects of your fat burning unless you're a highly disciplined athlete with the resources to maintain a high level of nutrition. A typical HIIT session results in less hunger and greater overall fat-burning. Other studies have also shown how HIIT has been shown to outperform cardio exercise for increasing fat loss.
HIIT training also tends to take less time than a cardio session. Since you're focusing on short periods of highly focused energy, you can spend less time in the gym and still gain the benefits of working out. Studies have shown that aerobic exercise has a negligible effect on body fat. However, it's important to note that any kind of exercise can help build your heart muscle and help you to get in better shape. It seems that our bodies were designed to work best when engaged in short, but powerful exercises. Research indicates that subjects will enjoy greater levels of subcutaneous fat loss and regular HIIT sessions can improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels.
Another important factor of HIIT training is that it can provide increased in skeletal muscle adaptations and can have a dramatic effect on insulin sensitivity. However, most of the current studies have been undertaken with only moderately overweight people. It has yet to be seen if the same effects will apply to obese populations. Since HIIT training requires using short bursts of energy, it's possible that an individual's weight must be under control before the other benefits begin to surface.
Regardless of the exercise you choose to engage in on a ketogenic diet, it's important for you to maintain optimal health by getting the exercise needed to keep your body strong. Without exercise, you'll still lose weight but you won't get the benefits of increased bone density, a stronger heart, and better overall base fitness levels. The ideal workout for you is the one that you most enjoy. If you love running more than 30 miles per week, you can engage in endurance sports. While it isn't the most effective way to burn fat, it may be the right exercise for your interests and composition. For those who want to build muscle, strength training provides a viable option. However, strength training and cardio have been shown to be less effective than HIIT training. Hands down, current research supports that for the best all-around performance and body composition improvements, HIIT shows incredible promise. HIIT is a very promising area of research and even a two-week program can produce some impressive results.

Lansdale police still searching for man accused of brutal September assault
By Michael Goldberg mgoldberg@21st-centurymedia.com @mg_thereporter on Twitter
LANSDALE >> Lansdale police have again appealed to the public to assist in the search for a borough man accused of a violent September domestic assault during which he allegedly snatched his girlfriend from another woman's car against her will, brutally beat her inside his vehicle, then — after she managed to escape and get help — fled the area, nearly striking a police car and a Fairmount Fire Company vehicle while making his getaway.
An arrest warrant was issued on Sept. 3 for Jerrad Ronell Littlejohn, 29 — who is also known as "Jay," and is listed in court documents as being 6'1" tall and 170 pounds — of the unit block of Fairview Avenue, who has been charged with 10 criminal counts, including kidnapping, aggravated assault, fleeing law enforcement and more in connection with the alleged Sept. 2 incident.
Lansdale police asked that anyone with information on his current whereabouts contact the department immediately at 215-368-1801 or via email at crimetips@lansdalepd.org.
The incident began when, according to the alleged victim, she and Littlejohn began fighting about money issues inside their residence when Littlejohn demanded she withdraw all of the money in her bank account and give it to him, police said.
The altercation escalated into physical violence, with Littlejohn choking the woman, police said they were told.
The woman left the residence, went to a nearby gas station and called a female friend to pick her up, according to police, who said that Littlejohn then called his girlfriend, told her that he was at Panico's Neighborhood Grill and Sports Tavern on the 500 block of North Cannon Avenue, and that the keys to the black 2007 Saab sedan he was driving were inside the vehicle parked out front of the bar and that she could come by and pick up the car.
When the woman and her friend arrived at Panico's, they spotted the Saab but the woman could not find the keys inside and called Littlejohn. When Littlejohn emerged from the bar, according to police, his girlfriend fled with her friend in the other woman's vehicle, but Littlejohn began chasing them in his Saab "at a high rate of speed" through the borough until he ultimately blocked them in with his car in a dead-end on the 800 block of West Fourth Street.
At that point, Littlejohn got out of his Saab, physically forced her into his car while spitting in her friend's face and breaking her tail light as she tried to stop Littlejohn, then drove from the area and began punching her repeatedly in the face — striking her at least 30 times — while heading toward their residence over a mile away, police said.
Littlejohn, according to police, continued punching the woman in the face after they arrived in front of their residence, but after he became distracted briefly by a boy riding his bicycle nearby, the woman escaped the vehicle and ran to the home of a nearby resident on the 500 block of Chestnut Street, who called police.
Officers had already responded to the 800 block of West Fourth Street after the woman's friend called to report her friend had been snatched by Littlejohn, and after getting a call about an assault victim on Chestnut Street who turned out to be the woman, police went to the scene and obtained a statement from the woman about what had just transpired.
Police said that the entire left side of the woman's face was completely swollen and maroon in color, that she had bruises and bleeding all over her face and that she was shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.
Volunteer Medical Service Corps personnel responded to the scene and treated the woman, and just as she was placed on a gurney for transport to an area hospital for further treatment of her injuries, a Lansdale officer spotted a Saab driven by a man who fit Littlejohn's description that slowly passed by the ambulance, police said.
When the officer alerted the injured woman about the car, she immediately said it was Littlejohn's, and the officer shouted at Littlejohn to stop, but he hit the gas and sped away.
The officer then radioed to other nearby Lansdale units that Littlejohn was heading south toward East Fifth Street — a police sergeant in a marked patrol vehicle activated his lights and tried to block Littlejohn's path, but he swerved around the police car, nearly striking it, as he sped south down an alley west of Chestnut Street, according to police.
At the same time, police said, the Fairmount Fire Company was responding to an unrelated incident in the area and said that the Saab nearly hit one of its vehicles.
Officers scoured the borough but were unable to locate Littlejohn or his vehicle.
Police said a subsequent check of Littlejohn's record indicated that his driver's license was suspended due to a DUI-related matter.

Q: A suitable equivalent for the phrase 'give glad tidings' Can anybody give me any suitable equivalents for the phrase 'Give glad tidings' as in the example ' Give glad tidings to those who strive - they always get the best results.'

A: Tidings means news, or information. Glad tidings is happy news.
I'm not sure I'd use the phrase glad tidings in your example at all, to be honest. I wouldn't be giving good news to people who strive, but some kind of reward or praise.
So, for equivalents to give glad tidings I would offer:
Send good (or happy) news
For an equivalent to give glad tidings as it was used in your example I would offer:
Give praise
Or, the ever popular:
Offer large sums of cash

A: An interesting way to get synonyms for that expression is to look for it in a book known to have many translations (here, the Bible) and then to work your way through said translations. Here, Isaiah 52:7 has (New International Version):

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news,
  who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings,
     who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Other version include "bring good news of happiness", "break the news that all's well", "bring good news", "bring good tidings of good" (King James; sounds weird), and "bring glad tidings of good things" (New King James).

A: try kudos

Acclaim or praise for exceptional
  achievement.

A: Glad tidings would be used to wish someone a happy birthday or something of this nature.

A: how bout you all just stop trying to change traditional greetings and olde world charm! just roll with it glad tidings we bring to you and your kin! good news! Merry Christmas you! may the season bring you all glad tidings and happiness!


The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership (the Partnership) and the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) have collaborated to inaugurate the Partnership's new Myrtle Avenue Public Art program this Saturday, August 30, with the 11-month installation of pieces from the internationally-known Tree Hugger Project (www.treehuggerproject.com) on NYCHA Ingersoll housing development grounds near Myrtle and Prince. The Partnership's new Myrtle Avenue Public Art program is an effort to bring public sculpture, art installations, studio art, and creative street furniture elements to the public spaces and sidewalks of the 20-block retail district, increasing access to art for the entire community. The sculpture installation at Ingersoll will include an opportunity for community members to participate in the building of Tree Hugger figures as part of Ingersoll's annual family day celebration. Both the Partnership and Ingersoll Tenant Association invite all local residents to join the celebration, and welcome the Tree Huggers to our community during the community build, which will take place from 12:00pm – 3:00pm that day.
Tree Hugger Project artists Wiktor Szostalo and Agnieszka Gradzik will be installing a total of four pieces on Myrtle Avenue as a part of their ongoing public art project that combines environmental sculpture made of natural, found and free materials such as twigs, vines and tree branches with a simple environmental message. The Project is an ongoing work of Environmental Art designed to help us re-discover our relationship with nature at a very personal and intimate level. The focus on the stewardship of public space demonstrates that standing up for the environment can be done in a fun and non-political way, and that contemporary art can be entertaining and make a difference in how we view our world. Community participation in the construction and installation of the Tree Huggers helps to highlight the role that we all can play as stewards in our very own neighborhood, reminding us that we humans are still very much a part of our natural surroundings. The Tree Hugger Project has been brought to cities and parks all over the world as a way to bring attention to the environment and to bring communities together, and Myrtle Avenue is excited to be part of this international movement.
These art installations are part of the larger Myrtle Avenue Arts & Enterprise Initiative which represents a multi-faceted effort to establish the retail corridor as an access point to visual art and cultural activities for community members of diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The Tree Hugger Project serves as a kick-off for the Partnership's new public art program, launching both an open call for proposals for additional temporary sculpture pieces for locations along Myrtle Avenue as well as a request for sponsors to support future artists and their installations. Seed funding for the new program was provided by the Lily Auchincloss Foundation and Myrtle's Business Improvement District.


On a match counting towards the 32nd round of La Liga.
Leganés is in 11th place of La Liga with 40 points conquered, thanks to a record of 10 victories, 10 draws and 11 losses.
In terms of goals, they count with 31 goals scored and 35 goals conceded, presenting an average of 2.1 goals per match.
Their record at home has been the most productive, with the team getting 7 wins on the 15 rounds played as hosts. The team comes into this match after having drawn by 1-1 on the trip to Alavés.
Real Madrid occupies the 3rd place of the league table with 60 points conquered, with a record of 19 victories, 3 draws and 9 losses.
Their goal ratio counts with 55 goals scored and 37 goals conceded, which results on an average of 3 goals per match. Their record away from home has been average, with the team getting 8 wins on the 15 rounds played away from the Bernabéu.
On the last round, the merengue side has hosted and defeated Eibar by 2-1.
I believe there is value in combining a win for Real Madrid here with the "Both teams to score" market.
The merengues have 4 victories on the last 5 matches and I believe that they will continue their winning streak, although I don't expect Leganés to ease up.
As we know, this Real Madrid is very strong offensively, but they have been showing their defensive fragility and they shouldn't be able to escape the Municipal de Butarque without conceding any goals.
Leganés scored in practically all of their matches at home and Real Madrid conceded goals in 12 of the last 13 matches they've played.
On that sense, I expect that the higher quality of the merengues will be decisive, although they shouldn't be able to prevent the usual opposing goal.
