Manhattan Bicycle Accident Lawyer Update New York City Bicycle Injuries During COVID-19
Bicyclists and E-bike riders can be injured in accidents as well as cause collisions with pedestrians. Bicyclists that are "doored" by vehicles can be seriously injured.
The coronavirus pandemic has impacted many areas of life, including traffic patterns in New York City. While many pedestrians and cyclists have enjoyed the sharp reduction in motor vehicle traffic caused by shutdowns, quieter roads have also led to a sharp increase in bicycle accident injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a bicycle accident in New York City, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. An experienced New York City bicycle accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and the next steps in your case.
New York City Injury Lawyer for all types of accidents.
Stats on Bicycle Accidents and Injuries in NYC
As a growing number of people transition to working from home, the city has seen a major decrease in vehicle traffic. Unfortunately, the spring and summer have also brought disturbing jumps in bicycle accidents and cyclist injuries. Here are some eye-opening stats.
According to statistics from the NYPD, bicyclist injuries increased by 43 percent in March.
In a single week in March 2019, NYC saw 80 cyclists injured.
Collisions of all types are down 33.1 percent in 2020 compared to 2019, but bicyclists are seeing higher rates of injury.
Statistics reveal that 90 percent of accidents involving a bicycle and a motor vehicle are caused by motorist error.
Bicyclist injuries in North Brooklyn jumped 77.8 percent in the first half of March.
Cyclist injuries rose 450 percent in the Bronx in March alone.
Interestingly, other types of motor vehicle injuries have decreased during the same time period. For example, motorists were hurt 27.6 percent less, and pedestrian injuries fell 17 percent. This has led traffic experts to probe why cyclists are getting hurt at higher rates. Some of the problems, they say, can be attributed to a lack of suitable cycling infrastructure in the city. In 2019, for example, 10 out of 28 bicyclists killed in motor vehicle accidents in NYC were riding in Southern Brooklyn where there is comparatively little bicycling infrastructure. Traffic experts also say that warmer weather and the pandemic have played a role in the increase in cyclist accidents and injuries. With more people either working from home or experiencing a job loss or furlough, the number of people choosing to cycle has gone up. Additionally, a reduction in motor vehicle traffic may have caused motorists to take less care behind the wheel. Open roads are a rare sight in New York City, which could be tempting drivers to be less vigilant.
Death Rates Sharp Contrast to Vision Zero Goals
According to a New York Times report, the city's Vision Zero plan, which launched in 2014 and aims to reduce traffic deaths to zero, was having a positive impact until 2019, when traffic deaths spiked after a steady decline. In 2019, stats show that 221 people in New York City were killed in traffic accidents. Analysis has revealed that the majority of those deaths were caused by careless driving, such as excessive speed, failure to yield, and distracted driving. By contrast, comparatively few traffic deaths were the result of careless behavior on the part of cyclists or pedestrians. Statistics show that less than five percent of traffic deaths were caused by pedestrians and cyclists. In half of all pedestrian or cyclist accidents in 2019, police officers identified four leading causes: distracted driving, a motorist's failure to yield, speeding, and motorists ignoring traffic signs or signals. All of these factors were attributed to motorists rather than bicyclists or pedestrians. Traffic safety experts also point out that motorists who caused a fatal crash were rarely prosecuted for it.
According to a New York Times report, motorists typically won't face charges even in a fatal accident as long as they weren't intoxicated and remained at the scene after the crash. In 2019, just four motorists were arrested among 28 fatal bicyclist accidents, which means that 14 percent of drivers faced criminal charges. Among the same group, just eight motorists were cited in traffic court. However, just because a motorist isn't charged with a crime doesn't mean the injured person can't pursue a personal injury case and seek monetary compensation for their injuries. Likewise, if a bicyclist is killed in a motor vehicle accident, their surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit to compensate them for their losses.
Discuss Your Case with a Manhattan Bicycle Accident Lawyer
When a bicyclist is involved in a motor vehicle accident, the injuries can be catastrophic. If you've been hurt in this type of crash, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and other losses. It's important to protect your rights.

Q: A flips a fair coin 11 times, B 10 times: what is the probability A gets more heads than B? Question

A flips a fair coin 11 times, B 10 times, what is the probability A gets more head than B?

Naive first thought
For the first 10 times of A, he has the same expected number of heads as B.
So if the 11th flip of A results in H, he get more head than B, so the answer is $50\%$.
More careful thought
instead of making arguments, I like to find systematic solutions:
$$
\Pr[H_A = a] = C(11, a) ({1\over 2})^{a}  ({1\over 2})^{11-a} =  C(11, a) ({1\over 2})^{11}\\
\Pr[H_B = b] = C(10, b) ({1\over 2})^{b}  ({1\over 2})^{10-b} =  C(10, b) ({1\over 2})^{10}\\
\Pr[H_A > H_B] = \sum_{a=0}^{11} \Pr[H_A = a] \sum_{b=0}^{a-1} \Pr[H_B = b] = ({1\over 2})^{21} \sum_{a=0}^{11} C(11, a)  \sum_{b=0}^{a-1} C(10, b)
$$
I don't know how to find the sum from the last line, can someone help?

A: After 10 throws, A and B are in the exact same position. The chance that A has more heads is p, the chance that B has more heads is also p (we don't know p), and the chance for same number of heads is the remainder, 1-2p.
After the 11th throw for A only, A has more heads if he had more heads after 10 throws, or the number of heads was the same after 10 throws, and he throws head. We add the probabilities: p + (1 - 2p) / 2 = p + (0.5 - p) = 0.5.

A: I like your first approach, it's neat.
Here's how I often approach this kind of 'probability that player A scores more than player B' problem (which I first came up with when dealing with similar questions involving dice, many years ago). It's not clever, but it generalizes in various ways and does reduce the calculations involved. I'll try to explain in fair bit of detail but in practice the whole process takes a few moments of thought before a simplified calculation in this case involving no summing or combinatorics at all.
Let's score each head '1' and each tail '0' and sum the scores (this is just counting but emphasizes the fact that we're summing outcomes). Let $X_A$ be the score for $A$ and similarly for $B$ ($X_B$).
Now consider a different game where player B counted tails instead of heads, and call that variable $Y_B$. The probabilities of interest with fair coins are unchanged, so we would get the same answer if we responded to this question (i.e. if we computed $P(X_A>Y_B)$). Now for this new game, player B's score $Y_B=10-X_B$. Consequently:
$P(X_A>X_B) = P(X_A>Y_B) = P(X_A>10-X_B) = P(X_A+X_B>10)$
Now $X_A+X_B$ is just the number of heads in 21 tosses of a fair coin, which has expectation 10.5.
By symmetry the probability that this total exceeds 10 is $\frac12$. $\qquad\square$

Note that this strategy works for other questions like "Player A tosses 12 times and player B tosses 9 times, what's the probability player A beats player B by more than 3?".
In that case $P(X_A>X_B+3) = P(X_A>(9-X_B)+3) = P(X_A+X_B>12)$. This is a straight binomial problem, though we can use symmetry to simplify it further to calculating just two adjacent binomial probabilities.
With sums of dice, you take one more than the number of faces to flip it around. e.g. for a six-sided die, it's equivalent to subtracting a six-sided die from 7. This lets you put B's rolls on A's side of the probability again, reducing comparing two sums of dice to comparing a single sum (with more dice) to a constant number, reducing it to a straight convolution, which is easy to automate calculations for.

A: This is not really an answer but purely involves your "naive first thought".
You base that on the fact that A and B have the same expected value of heads if only the first $10$ times are taken into account.
This is not correct.

Imagine a game where A throws $5$ coins and $B$ throws $4$ coins.

The first coin of A has probability $1$ on resulting in head, and the second, third and fourth have probability $\frac13$ on resulting in head and finally the fifth has probability $\frac12$ on heads.

The first coin of B has probability $0$ on resulting in head, and the second, third and fourth have probability $\frac23$ on resulting in head.

Then for both the expected number of heads gained in the first $4$ throws is $2$.

However the probability that A throws in total more heads than B in the whole game appears to be $\frac{706}{1458}<0.5$.

It would be correct to base it on the fact that A and B have the same probability of winning if only the first $10$ times are taken into account.
Think about it like this: A and B want to play a fair game ($10$ flips for each) but foreseeing that the game can end in a draw (which they want to prevent) they make the following agreement:

If the game ends in a draw then A throws a coin. If it is a head then A is declared to be the winner and otherwise B is declared to be the winner. Also if the game does not end in a draw A throws a coin but then evidently its result has no real impact on the question who wins.

Then evidently this game is fair and gives both players a chance of 50% to win.
Further it is true that A wins iff he throws more heads than B.

A: Your "naive first thought" is the clever (standard) solution.
To make it rigorous, let $\mathscr E_0$ be the event "A and B are tied after each has tossed 10 times;" let $\mathscr E_A$ and $\mathscr E_B$ be the events "A has more heads than B after 10 tosses each" and "B has more heads than A after 10 tosses each," respectively.  Let $\mathscr F$ designate the event "A has more heads than B after all tosses are made."
Notice:

*

*$\mathscr E_0,$ $\mathscr E_A,$ and $\mathscr E_B$ are mutually exclusive: no two have any outcomes in common and collectively they include all the possibilities.  Therefore $$\Pr(\mathscr E_0) + \Pr(\mathscr E_A) + \Pr(\mathscr E_B)=1.$$

*$\Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_A) = 1$ (A has won by the first 10 tosses); $\Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_B) = 0$ (A is behind after 10 tosses and therefore cannot win with the last toss); and $\Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_0) = 1/2$ (if both are tied after 10 tosses, A's 11th toss is the tiebreaker).

*$\Pr(\mathscr E_A) = \Pr(\mathscr{E_B})$ (after 10 tosses the game is symmetric -- both players are equally situated -- and therefore they have equal chances of being ahead at that point).
By the law of total probability,
$$\begin{aligned}
\Pr(\mathscr F) &= \Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_0)\Pr(\mathscr E_0) + \Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_A)\Pr(\mathscr E_A) + \Pr(\mathscr F\mid \mathscr E_B)\Pr(\mathscr E_B)\\
& = \Pr(\mathscr E_0)\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) + \Pr(\mathscr E_A)(1) + \Pr(\mathscr E_B)(0)\\
&= \frac{1}{2}\left(\Pr(\mathscr E_0) + \Pr(\mathscr E_A) + \Pr(\mathscr E_A)\right)\\
&= \frac{1}{2}\left(\Pr(\mathscr E_0) + \Pr(\mathscr E_A) + \Pr(\mathscr E_B)\right)\\
& = \frac{1}{2}\left(1\right) = \frac{1}{2}.
\end{aligned} $$

As an alternative approach, you wish to evaluate the double sum
$$\sum_{a \gt b} \binom{11}{a}\binom{10}{b} = \sum_{a \gt b} \binom{11}{11-a}\binom{10}{10-b} = \sum_{a^\prime \le b^\prime} \binom{11}{a^\prime}\binom{10}{b^\prime}.$$
(In case the algebra isn't obvious, the first equality exploits the Binomial coefficient symmetry and the second is the change of variable $a^\prime = 11-a,$ $b^\prime = 10-b.$  We can be a vague about the endpoints of the summations because whenever $a$ or $a^\prime$ is not in the range from $0$ through $11$ or $b$ or $b^\prime$ is not in the range from $0$ through $10$ the Binomial coefficients are zero.)
Because the indexes in the two sums on the left and right sides (1) never overlap and (2) cover all the possibilities (since either $a\gt b$ or $a\le b$ but never both), together they give the total probability, which is $1.$  Consequently, since those sums are equal, each is $1/2,$ QED.

This figure shows the rotational symmetry of the distribution under the mapping $(a,b)\to(11-a,10-b).$  The blue circles are rotated around the yellow dot into red triangles of exactly the same probability.  The desired sum is the total of the blue circles, which therefore must be $1/2.$

A: An approximation. The coin flipping experiment is a binomial distribution, the binomial distribution can be approximated using a normal distribution (under certain conditions), the result then is the convolution of the two approximated normal distributions, which has a simple analytical solution.
If $X \sim \mathcal{B}(n,p)$ then $X \sim \mathcal{N}(np,\sqrt{(np(1-p)})$, if $np \geq 5$ and $n(1-p) \geq 5$ (rule of thumb).
For your specific case (R code)
ap=0.5
an=11

bp=0.5
bn=10

  0,
  (ap*an-bp*bn)/2,

This study presents evidence suggesting that electrophysiological responses to language-related auditory stimuli recorded at 46 weeks postconceptional age (PCA) are associated with language development, particularly in infants with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). In order to investigate this hypothesis, electrophysiological responses to a set of auditory stimuli consisting of series of syllables and tones were recorded from a population of infants with PVL at 46 weeks PCA. A communicative development inventory (i.e., parent report) was applied to this population during a follow-up study performed at 14 months of age. The results of this later test were analyzed with a statistical clustering procedure, which resulted in two well-defined groups identified as the high-score (HS) and low-score (LS) groups. The event-induced power of the EEG data recorded at 46 weeks PCA was analyzed using a dimensionality reduction approach, resulting in a new set of descriptive variables. The LS and HS groups formed well-separated clusters in the space spanned by these descriptive variables, which can therefore be used to predict whether a new subject will belong to either of these groups. A predictive classification rate of 80% was obtained by using a linear classifier that was trained with a leave-one-out cross-validation technique.

VIDEO: Bassment Syndicate's 'Bad Timing'
By JUICE Malaysia • 11 Jan 2016 in News
Fresh off their performance at Raising the Bar Festival '16 on Saturday, the jazz-informed hip hop band Bassment Syndicate has dropped a single and its accompanying music video from their sophomore album 25 Hours — 'Bad Timing'. Shot entirely on a GoPro as directed by the bassist (Fook) himself, after a bad throw of a basketball, we follow a man into an abandoned house with different scenes (possibly memories) occurring within it. While interviewing the band, they've told us about the concept behind their forthcoming album 25 Hours; the album tells the story of the psyche of a car crash victim, with each song illustrating the varying thoughts and flashbacks he would have. With that preface in mind, the lyric "What's the use in timing life?" has much more of a resonance than simply a reminder of seizing the moment before it's too late.
Keep an eye out for their forthcoming album 25 Hours to be released soon.

The Dorchester County Parks and Recreation Master Plan was originally published in 2009. Since January of 2015, work has been ongoing to update the master plan based on current factors and public feedback. The goal of this process is to provide a clear path to developing a robust countywide park and recreation system. The 2016 Update was provided for County Council's consideration on 4/4/2016.
On 11/8/16, Dorchester County voters approved 61% to 39% the Parks and Libraries Capital Bond Referendum. This means that $13M in park bond proceeds may be utilized to develop and open Ashley River Park, Pine Trace Natural Area, Davis-Bailey Park, and various trail projects to the public. Currently, pending litigation challenging the validity of the referendum is preventing construction from starting on park projects. The plaintiffs have appealed an earlier decision that completely dismissed the case to the SC State Supreme Court. This appeal was heard on October 18, 2018. We await a ruling from the Court.
Design development, construction drawings and permitting are completed for Ashley River Park. Construction is ready to be bid, but is currently delayed due to the lawsuit against the 2016 voter-approved referendum funding. The unique 85 acre riverfront property will offer something for all ages and abilities with major features that include trails, fishing pond, event spaces, playground, splash fountain, dog park, ropes course, climbing wall, picnic areas and kayak launch. Construction is projected to be ready to commence in 2019 with a 12-15 month construction period. Naming rights and partnership opportunities are currently available through our partners at Friends of Dorchester County Parks. Visit the Ashley River Park page for more detailed project information.
Davis-Bailey Park, recently named to honor longtime County Councilman Willie Davis and former state representative and current County Councilman George Bailey, has been ready for construction bidding since September of 2017. The bid process for construction will begin once the pending litigation is resolved and the capital bonds are issued. This true multiuse park will be a draw for the entire region featuring the following components: youth baseball fields, soccer/football field, basketball courts, paved walking trail, pond, great lawn, custom designed playground, adult fitness area, event pavilion, and splash fountain. Naming rights and partnership opportunities are currently available through our partners at Friends of Dorchester County Parks. Visit the Davis-Bailey Park page for more detailed project information.
A conceptual master plan for Pine Trace has been completed and the wetland permit for the site has been issued. This 300+ acre natural area will provide a forested oasis featuring trails, a pond, disc golf course, picnic shelter, outdoor classroom, dog parks, and will be the northern anchor for the Eagle Chandler Bridge Creek Multiuse Path.
The Ashley River Blue Trail Howard Bridgman Access at Bacon's Bridge opened to the public on December 2nd, 2017. The new access site, located at the front of Ashley River Park, provides public access to a unique stretch of river suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. As future plans for additional upstream access come to fruition, adventurers will be able to utilize a series of regular public launching points for trips of varying lengths from the headwaters of the Ashley River all the way to Charleston Harbor! Maps of the Ashley River Blue Trail are available by contacting Pam Zanowski. Visit the Ashley River Access page for additional information on the blue trail.


A lot of people spend their lives saving up! Saving up for a new computer, a new car, a better house.. it's always something new! I, on the other hand, save up to fulfill my desire to travel ..travel to new places and experience new cuisines.
This desire was instilled in me since a very young age and with each passing day, it just increased!
Traveling as I see it, with all its challenges & opportunities, has helped me discover myself as a person in a way that only the road could bring. Which was really the goal, wasn't it?
Till today, when I finish a trip, I get a different kind of satisfaction..like I am able to accomplish what I set out to do. It not only gives me truck loads of experiences to take back, but also leaves me with a thirst for wanting more….
Another thing that goes hand in hand with travel, is my passion to try out new food and for good reason! Exploring the world of flavor isn't just my hobby, it's practically my way of life and this blog reflects it!
May you be happy, may you be healthy, may you be prosperous.
Best wishes for your life ahead.


Nowadays businesses mostly direct their attention on attracting new clients, but building connection with existing ones has become more important and cheaper. According to statistics, it costs 5-6 times more to find new customers and invest in them, then retaining a current one.
A return customer is the one who has made a purchase at least two times. The one who has returned to your business several times, which is why are they also called "loyal customers". And every entrepreneur has the same dream – to keep loyal customers. Having customers who return to your product and services, again and again, is one of the best benefits for your business. And same as building and maintain a loyal customer base.
You need to know your customer and their potential so you could create a relationship with them that will be more important than just a simple transaction you have.
Try to be yourself at this moment. You are also a customer for many other businesses. What are the things that bring you back to the same businesses, shops, to the same service providers? Many people answered the same three things: customer experience, quality of the offering product and price/value.
So, if you give your customers reasons to come back again by creating a great and unique customer experience, offering quality products with a price that is affordable then you have definitely created a good strategy and you will have no problem with returning customers.
To keep your customers returning check out these 6 bulletproof ways.
60% of people are willing to pay more for better customer experience. So, keep that information in mind. Offering great customer service should be a priority for your business, especially if you want to retain customers. Ensure your customers to know what to expect when they visit your business.
Also, make sure you have qualified people on your team. What customers want more than just a good price is a unique experience. It is important to educate your team on how to provide great customer service and connect with customers, while still providing expert service. It is all about the right skills. You can have the worst product in the world, but if you have someone with the right skills, you can sell anything at any moment. Keep in mind that customers will always come back to business where they had great customer experience.
This is one of the ways to spread the good news to other people. Customer will be delighted and will probably tell other people, and in that way, you will gain more customers. And we all want that, don't we?
It is the little things that count. Such as remembering customer's name, sending thank you notes (after first time purchase), happy birthday notes and gifts, free samples or discounts. The fact that you will just do anything in your power to help customers when they require assistance. Those small gestures are a quick and effective way to let your customers know they are appreciated and that will encourage them to return. And the important thing is to personalize your marketing communication. 82% of shoppers stating that they would buy more from brands that personalize the communication that they send out.
Everybody has had to wait in order to reach customer support and everybody's forgetting the fact that customers are people too. They have their jobs and things to do. Don't let them wait. Customers expect quick answers about your product, or they will replace you with new ones. Give customers what they deserve. Fast reply, detailed information, benefits of the product, do they have a discount. By being available to your customers on short notice, you increase their comfort and trust in you. As a result, they can rest assured knowing that they can rely on you.
Ideally, you should respond within a few hours, especially during business hours. If you don't have time for a detailed response immediately, be sure to at least acknowledge the message and give a time frame for a reply. And remember, when customers spend money on your product, they expect value for their money. When customers reach out to you, it's beneficial you do everything in your power to make them feel their money was well-spent.
If you don't want your customers to leave and your business to collapse, then you should pay attention to what customers are really saying. What do they like about your product, what do they think should be improved? All this information you can gather just by listening. By trying to understand their needs and trying to help them, you are building a relationship with them. Once a customer feels that they can depend on you, they will become loyal. Listening to them allows you to provide the solution that is right for them, not just the one that you want to sell.
But what you need to understand is that is not just enough to listen to them, you have to take their feedback and improve what is wrong. Customer feedback is a great way to gather business data in one place. It keeps you informed whether customers are (not) satisfied with the product or service you deliver. Implementing the feedback you receive will improve customer satisfaction, which results in return business and the referral to others. But, if customers notice you are not trying to make an effort to understand them, they will become disinterested in your products or services.
What turns out to be effective at retaining customers are loyalty programs. It is a program offered by a company to those customers who often make purchases. These programs can also maximize the lifetime value of a customer. By implementing them you are also attracting new customers besides retaining your existing ones. The simpler access to your rewards, coupons, the more customers will want to buy from your brand. So, encourage customers to join your mailing list through which they will have the ability to claim all kinds of rewards, not just when they spend some specific price amount. Those could be summer sale, winter sale and similar.
Besides attracting new customers, you are increasing sales. This is your way to differentiate from your competitors. Loyal customers trust your business, which encourages them to spend more. According to research, when you increase customer retention by just 5%, your revenues can increase by as low as 25% and by as high as 100%.
Last, don't forget that your existing customers can spread the good word and help your business to further promote your program to new customers.
Your social media presence is a great way of connecting with your customers and staying at the front of their minds. Follow and interact with current and former customers. Retweet, comment, share, like, etc. Also, try to create a mix of content that highlights your company culture instead of flooding them with random information. Personalize that content – it is powerful. It takes lots of time but it's well worth it. And always ensure that your interactions remain positive and understanding.
Review – a very important thing on social media, especially for companies. You will be able to see if your product is good or bad and why some of your customers left. You should answer to both positive and negative reviews respectfully and supportively. With negative ones, try to gain customers back. Don't just rush to answer without thinking wisely. Think about a solution you could offer them to solve the problem they had. Be non-confrontational and always positive.
When you turn unhappy customer to happy, other people see that it is a big chance they will notice you and turn on to you. And that unhappy customer will be able to see the effort you put in to try to help him – and become loyal back again.
Getting new customers today became an essential part of business strategies. But people are now more focused on getting new customers that they forget to take care of those who have already shown interest. It is normal to look for ways to continue your company to spread and grow, but you should also look for ways to keep and bring back the ones who have previously shown interest and didn't get right customer service. You can have hundreds and hundreds of customers, but if you don't take care of all of them, they will leave. Most people are blown away with the first interaction, and later that interaction disappears. So, it is better to have fewer customers you will constantly nurture – because they will be loyal to your business.

Nuclear scientist was killed by remote-controlled gun: report
Jack Lovern
Top Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was laid to rest Monday after his assassination by what a security official in the Islamic Republic claims was a team of Israelis who used remote "electronic devices," according to reports.
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, made the allegation at Fakhrizadeh's funeral, where Iran's defense minister also vowed to continue the man's work "with more speed and more power."
"Unfortunately, the operation was a very complicated operation and was carried out by using electronic devices," Shamkhani told state TV. "No individual was present at the site."
He also blamed Iranian exile group Mujahedeen-e-Khalq for "having a role in this," without elaborating. The MEK did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Israel — long suspected of killing Iranian nuclear scientists over the last 10 years — has declined to comment on the attack on Fakhrizadeh, who founded Iran's military nuclear program in the 2000s.
He headed Iran's so-called AMAD program, which Israel and the West have claimed was a military operation looking at the feasibility of building a nuclear weapon.
Meanwhile, Iran's Press TV reported Monday that the weapon used in the assassination Friday was made in Israel, according to Reuters.
"The weapons collected from the site of the terrorist act (where Fakhrizadeh was assassinated) bear the logo and specifications of the Israeli military industry," an unnamed source told the English-language news outlet.
Israeli officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment by Reuters.
On Sunday, Iran's semi-official Fars news agency said that Fakhrizadeh was wiped out by a machine gun operated by remote control, while the Arabic language Al Alam TV reported that the weapons used were "controlled by satellite."
Israeli intelligence minister Eli Cohen told radio station 103 FM on Monday, before the Press TV report, that he did not know who was responsible for the killing, Reuters reported.
When asked about potential Iranian retaliation, Cohen told the station 103: "We have regional intelligence supremacy, and on this matter we are prepared, we are increasing vigilance, in the places where that is required."
Jerusalem insists that Iran still maintains the ambition of developing nukes, pointing to Tehran's ballistic missile program and research into other technologies.
Tehran has long insisted that its nuclear program is peaceful.
Fakhrizadeh was killed Friday when he was ambushed on a highway near Tehran where his vehicle was sprayed with bullets.
Defense Minister Gen. Amir Hatami, who kissed Fakhrizadeh's casket and put his forehead against it, said his killing would make Iranians "more united, more determined."
"For the continuation of your path, we will continue with more speed and more power," Hatami said.

Blog Launch - Kymar Gutters Inc.
Last Spring, Kymar Gutters Inc. was invited to tender the replacement of a gutter system for a strata corporation here in Langley. Not so unusual. With depreciation reports now mandatory, every 20-25 tears, after the roof is replaced, it is recommended to replace the gutters. However their request seemed a bid add.
The Strata had replaced the roof five years before. With the roof, it was suggested to have the gutters replaced. The roofer recommended "their company", and without a second thought, the scope of work was completed.
The gutter company installed a smaller gutter, leaving behind a strip of unpainted wood underneath the new gutters. In addition, the new gutters did not include enlarged outlets, adding to the problems. Within a year after installation, the mitres began to fail, and leak. Within five years, after several attempts to correct the problems, the strata realized that they had been ripped off, and it was time to bite the bullet.
Immediately after the initial replacement, the strata had to hire a painter to paint the strip of fascia left exposed after the installation of the smaller gutter.
Since the mitres were all failing, water was getting behind the gutters, which over the next five years, began to deteriorate the wood fascias.
To correct the issues, a wood working/painting company was hired to work on the fascias, after we removed the old gutters, and before we installed the new larger system.
Five years, however, took its toll on the townhomes. Hundreds of feet of fascia were rotted and needed replacement. Damage to the walls and fascias exceeded the costs of replacement of gutters.
4) Poor installation – levels were never used.
Initially Kymar Gutters Inc. would have been maybe $200.00 per unit more expensive than the original contractor for the replacement of gutters. With the average townhouse strata being 40-60 units, that can add up.
However, the consequences of accepting the cheapest price are written in stone, and regretfully are too frequent to mention. You really do get what you paid for.

Saturday saw us travel to Wythall to play Burton Sils. Unfortunately an uncut pitch didn't help us pass the ball around as quickly as we would have liked but the lads played the ball to feet regardless.
A confident display throughout and the scoreline didn't reflect our possession or chances on goal. To say the Burton keeper had a blinder would have been an understatement!! Well played that man!!
Awards for Luke, Olly and Archie.
Later in the day as part of the Development Centre sponsoring the first team game we will be on the pitch doing a lap before the game and also participating in a ten minute demonstration at half time of the lads abilities. We also have a stall selling old football boots and also samosas for sale! So please feel free to say hello and buy some new boots for your kids!!!

Insomniac Loves Sony, Wants to Go Steady for Now
Steven GarciaMonday, July 27, 2009
The subject of whether a game's potential is hindered by exclusivity is open for debate, but with billions of dollars out there for the taking, it's no wonder so many game developers opt for producing multi-platform titles. Not only can a developer potentially cover the ever increasing costs of development and maximize profits by releasing their game to more than one console, but doing so also allows… um… ahem, well I guess that's it. However, not all developers feel the same.
After nearly thirteen years of developing games highlighting the potential of PlayStation hardware, Insomniac Games has come to learn that when it comes to building and maintaining a healthy relationship, looks money isn't everything.
In an interview with GamesIndustry, Insomniac Games' Director of Marketing and Communications, Ryan Schneider, was asked if the Burbank based developer ever thinks about the kind of cash they could bring in as a result of going multi-platform.
"Sure, as an independent developer, you do consider those options – but at the same time we do have a great relationship with Sony. We've been with Sony for a long, long time now, and that's where we intend to stay for the foreseeable future. "
Ok, we get it. You guys are in love. But what exactly does Insomniac see in Sony?
"Sony bends over backwards to work with its development teams. Their product development team is second to none – we absolutely love working with them. Their PR and marketing folks are terrific to work with and very dedicated to the cause, and there are some very creative people there. We feel very fortunate to have that sort of relationship in place."
On the issue of whether Insomniac is satisfied with the PS3's current installed base, Schneider downplayed their influence on hardware sales while emphasizing the role they play as developers and their position in the console wars.
"All we try to do as content creators is just try to make the best games we can and let the hardware battle settle out where it may."
There's still no word on any plans for duo's 13th anniversary later this year (proposal?), but if there's anything we can take from this interview, as well as Sony's penchant for building great relationships with their developers, it's that Insomniac won't be calling Nintendo or Microsoft anytime soon.
