Abstract: After the peace treaty with Poland (18 March 1921) and after the reorganization of the Church administration in 1921 and in 1923, ten administrative units of the Catholic Church were placed within the borders of the USSR; eight were of the Latin rite and two of the Eastern rite. In this article, the author presents the history of repressions organized by the Soviet authorities towards the Roman Catholic Church (1917–1938) with special attention given to the process of liquidation of the Roman Catholic Clergy of the Latin rite.

In order to use the computer system without having to constantly contend with glitches cause predominantly by viruses, the user will have to ensure adequate measures are taken to protect the computer system from possible virus invasion.
• The simple and most effective way to keep the possibility of a virus invasion from taking root within the software would be to be constantly updating the software in use. This would include the Operating System where regular check for updates and set up automation updates are practiced.
• Using higher quality antivirus software for reputable manufactures is also something to be encouraged. Taking the time to check the manufacturer's recommendations for information such as set up guides and configurations is important. A complicated style would not be helpful to the user and instead probably cause a lot of frustration when trying to install the application.
• The user should ideally avoid any sites that are questionable in nature, especially those that offer commercial software downloads for free. There are usually hidden agendas and the software are mostly below the performance levels expected, when it comes to thoroughly addressing the virus eradication or blocking exercise.
• The user should be aware of anything that appears either too good to be true or simply seems to be free. It is a common thought process to note that nothing is free, thus online elements should be no different.

Q: MySQL Workbench - My Server has gone away I'm using MySQL Workbench 6.3.6 (64-bit) to enter DB queries, however after a short period of inactivity - I don't know exactly how long but it can't be more than 3-4 minutes (e.g. whilst I'm typing this question), the server seems to disconnect.
This isn't an issue with the server, because when I'm using Eclipse data tools, or a SSH terminal, this doesn't occur - however, the solutoin given on the question: MySQL Workbench drops connection when idle hasn't solved the issue - no matter how "low" I set the DBMS "keep-alive" interval it still loses its connection.
This may be a duplicate (but I couldn't find one that seems to really fit these circumstances)
Thanks,
David
EDIT: Have tried recommended answer below - but unfortunately despite setting it for 600s, it timed out by 4 minutes
MySQL Workbench: How to keep the connection alive
To clarify, I've included a screenshot of my SQL editor settings where I have dropped the time between keep-alive packets, and increased the time-out times - just in case I have done this incorrectly.

If you know what you're doing, cruising can be an enriching form of travel, but plenty of people swear off the big ships because of some terrible experience that ruined their first time out. To prevent yourself from becoming another cruise hater, take note of these rookie mistakes — and don't make them.
We know, you're trying to minimize time away from work by booking a flight for the same day your cruise sets sail. Even if you're dealing with a neck-breathing boss who side-eyes your every minute away, don't do it. There's a decent chance you'll lose your whole vacation if your flight is delayed or your checked luggage doesn't make it to your arrival airport at the same time you do.
Try to arrive a day before your cruise is scheduled to depart. Book a hotel near your embarkation point, spend that extra time sightseeing, and give yourself lots of time to get to the pier.
Once your itinerary's underway, don't dillydally on shore, either. It's easy to get carried away in a new place, but get back to that boat on time or you'll be stuck.
If you decide to stuff your suitcase to the point of barely being able to zip it, you'll suffer each time you have to reach in there — and forget about being able to comfortably bring home souvenirs.
Still, you'll want to bring everything you need. If you decide to leave the following things at home, your trip could be worse for it: a passport, in case you have to fly home from a different country; prescription medicine; sea bands or behind-the-ear patches for seasickness — most boats' medical centers sell these, but keep limited hours; and toiletries like conditioner — your room likely stocks only shampoo and a bar of soap.
And pack a carry-on, since your checked luggage might not find you until hours after the bon-voyage horn blows.
Sometimes buying travel insurance is a foolish decision. But sometimes it'd be foolish not to buy. People who deal with chronic illness, or whose health is otherwise sensitive, would do well to think this one through.
You can also buy insurance to protect you in case of any other type of catastrophe, including cancellation, a missed connection, lost or delayed baggage, or a dental or legal problem.
Don't feel confined to buying the insurance your cruise is selling, either.
If you haven't thought through what type of cruise experience you want, you're not ready to book. Are you into relaxing? Partying? Cultural experiences? Family time? Your answer should inform which company you go with, what boat you should be on, and when you should go.
Timing matters, too. If you'd rather not be surrounded by kids, avoid summer and holiday cruises, when a third of passengers can be children. Three-night cruises to warm-weather destinations like Mexico and the Caribbean tend to attract 20-somethings looking for a party, but shorter cruises in Europe and Asia won't have the same wild vibe.
Cruises are notorious for offering food that sickens travelers. In fact, a common first question doctors have for gastroenteritis patients is, "Did you eat at a buffet?" That's because if you consume food that has been left out too long, or lingered over by too many people, you could have a date with the norovirus.
Since there are few sensations worse than being ill or uncomfortable at sea, take precautions. If any food item looks or tastes at all funny, ditch it. Don't approach all-you-can-eat buffets as a challenge, or make too many friends at the bar. Drink enough water to stay hydrated. Get out on deck enough to breathe the salty air, and apply sunscreen.
It's tempting to cruise the Caribbean between September and early December, since the prices are so low. They're that way for a reason: It's hurricane season, and you're all but guaranteed to get poured on. Fares to Europe are similarly enticing during winter, but you'll have to endure cold weather and rough seas.
As for cruising Alaska, if you book for two alluringly affordable months — May and September — come prepared for snow and mud, and be willing to do your excursions in strong rain.
If you know you really want to do a specific shore excursion offered by your cruise line, don't take the risk of waiting to book it. Sign up before you disembark. You can also plan your own shore excursions.
Other cruise activities worth booking before you board include spa treatments — popular ones book up — and reservations for the ship's specialty restaurants.
If you've decided that your full budget for your cruise is what you've paid to get onboard, you've set yourself up for trouble. For those on a strict vacation budget, it's easy to get lured by what seems to be an impossibly low price. Once you're onboard, that's where they get you.
Unless you're on a fancier cruise line — in which case you wouldn't have paid a basement rate anyway — plan to shell out for all your alcohol, anything you drink in your cabin — bottled water? Four bucks, please — shore excursions, fitness classes, spa treatments, and Internet access, which can cost hundreds and not even work well.
Also, budget for off-the-boat expenses like food, souvenirs, and services when you're in port.

New Castle Stands Against Gun Violence in Rally Also Urging National Changes
June 6, 2022 by Illeana Baquero
Survivor Described the Personal Impact of Gun Violence and County Officials Discussed New York Law Changes and Plead for Additional Changes at Federal Level to Make a Real Difference
Inside Press Photos
On Friday, dozens of people gathered at the New Castle Recreation Field Gazebo in Chappaqua in protest of continued acts of gun violence across the nation.
"Our country needs to do more to prevent gun violence," said New Castle Town Supervisor Lisa Katz in her welcoming remarks following an opening prayer by Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe of Temple Beth El.
"When it comes to the safety of our children and fellow citizens, the toxic, hyper-partisan politics of the day must be set aside. We must come together in earnest to immediately effectuate change where there is common ground and at the same time create an environment for bridging the gap where more work needs to be done," said Katz.
The call to action comes on the heels of the mass shootings in Buffalo, Uvalde, and Tulsa. As Katz, local and county public officials and members of Moms Demand Demand Action spoke, they looked out at concerned citizens attending wearing orange, the color which has become synonymous with the anti-gun violence cause. According to the Wear Orange website, the movement came about following the shooting of Hadiya Pendleton in 2013, after which her friends wore orange – the color hunters wear in the woods to defend themselves from other hunters – to commemorate her life.
"Gun deaths in our country are occurring at a staggering rate," said Chief of Police Jim Caroll. "About one hundred Americans are killed every day and hundreds more are injured. The massacre in Uvalde was yet another grim reminder that in the U.S., children are much more likely to die by gun violence than any other cause…We have suffered too much at the hands of people who use guns to commit horrific acts of violence."
Erin Fuller Brian, a Pleasantville resident and survivor of the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, went on to share her story: "My life was forever changed," she said of experiencing the deadliest mass shooting in United States history.
Although she and her husband were fortunate enough to have escaped prior to the shooter opening fire, she described their fear and confusion in the ensuing chaos, and the years of trauma that followed.

Fuller Brian gave birth to two children during the pandemic, and became choked up as she described the ways in which the recent shootings have hit home for her and her family.
"To be perfectly honest, the anxiety I feel just about keeping them safe on a daily basis is sometimes too much to bear. I obsess over their safety constantly and have intrusive thoughts about what could potentially happen to them after experiencing just how fragile life is and how it could be taken away in an instant."
"And then something like Uvalde happens," she said. "Nineteen children and two of their teachers were slaughtered, and I am broken. We all are. We send our children to school assuming they will come home safe and alive. These parents and families and students are living in a horrific nightmare. I think about what I went through and how hard it was for me to process when I was 29 years old, but most of the survivors of this shooting are children. They are eight, nine, and ten years old. How are they supposed to move on from this?"
While Fuller Brian expressed her grief, she also shared a message of hope, offering ways for the community to get involved in the fight and prevent more lives being lost to gun violence.
Some of these include fighting for common sense gun safety legislation with organizations such as Brady, Moms Demand, or Giffords, donating to those efforts, voting for politicians who support gun reform, talking to friends and family, calling representatives, and joining the March for our Lives protests on June 11th in Washington, D.C., Manhattan, or one of the tens of other locations.
"Have conversations about this, especially with your friends who are responsible gun owners," Fuller Brian said. "You'd be surprised how much common ground you're able to find because the NRA wants us to believe that this is a left vs. right, red vs. blue, gun owner vs. non-gun owner issue, but it's not. It's a pro-safety vs. pro-violence issue, and I don't know a single responsible gun owner who is pro-violence."
"This should not be a partisan issue. This is common sense," she said.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer expressed a similar sentiment, stating that: "We have a lot of work to do. We will do our share at the local government level in Westchester County, and we hope that we can put enough pressure on the existing decision-makers or vote and get some new decision-makers."
Latimer referred to a comment made in a radio interview by Robert F. Kennedy in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death: "No one knows who next will suffer some senseless act of bloodshed," Kennedy had said.
"I ask myself, what are the next places where this is going to happen?" Latimer told the crowd. "It could happen anywhere. It could happen when I sit at a restaurant in an outdoor setting, in a plaza, any place. If someone has access to a weapon of mass destruction, it depends on that day, if that person decides to shoot up every civilian in sight."
New York State Senator Peter Harckham shared a legislative update on the steps which New York State is taking to increase gun safety, included in a package of ten more gun safety measures passed on Thursday to be signed into law by the governor.
Included in this package is an increase on the age restriction for purchasing semi-automatic weapons to 21, a ban on the purchase of body armor, such as the kevlar vests which rendered the bullets of the security guard in the Buffalo shooting useless on the armored shooter, microstamping technology to allow for the tracing of bullets, an expansion of red flag laws, a ban on long magazines and auto-feeders, and a proposal for tracking and reporting mechanisms for hate speech on social media to hold those platforms accountable, among others.
"While we continue to work hard in New York State to keep you safe and pass the laws that we've all been talking about, we need to get national movement because without national background checks and without some national regulations, the flood of guns is going to continue to come to New York."
Instrumental music was performed by John Burton. On the way out, orange pinwheels were distributed to the audience to place around the gazebo and along the road to commemorate the lives lost in these tragedies and to ensure that the community's effort for change is visible to all.

Governor Hochul Announces $23.7 Million in Grant Awards to End the Gun Violence Epidemic
September 14, 2021 by Inside Press
Funding Supports Gun Violence Prevention Efforts Including Job Training and Placement, Community Activities, and Expansion of Gun Violence Intervention Programs
Governor Hochul: "Everybody deserves to live on a street that's safe. It breaks my heart as a mom and as a human being to know that Black children are ten times more likely to lose their lives to gun violence than a white child. How does that happen? Every child matters. Every life has dignity, and every life should continue on. It's not the fault of these families or these individuals. We need to give them hope, get them out of these desperate situations and give them an alternative."
At the GodSquad 11th Anniversary Evening Celebration tonight, Governor Kathy Hochul announced funding for several gun violence prevention efforts, which include job training, community activities, and intervener staffing in communities seeing the highest concentration of gun violence.

Addressing Concerns About Gun Safety during the Pandemic
April 22, 2020 by Kiran Sheth
With fears that the global pandemic could result in civil unrest, gun sales have catapulted. New York State Assemblyman David Buchwald and gun safety expert Andy Pelosi recently addressed how the coronavirus may be impacting gun safety and gun violence, given the rise in gun sales and the potential for increased risk of in-home gun violence.
The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought communities across the nation under a multitude of pressures – hospitals are overflowing, unable to accommodate patients, grocery stores are wiped clean of paper products and disinfectant wipes and many local businesses are struggling to remain financially afloat. However, as the virus becomes ever-more present in our daily lives, we have witnessed a spike in the numbers of people reaching for a perceived sense of security through gun ownership.
As Americans flock to gun stores in response to fears about the coronavirus, many dealers are reporting a massive increase in gun sales across the U.S. According to a New York Times analysis of federal data, approximately 2 million guns were sold across the country during the month of March. That's the second highest monthly total ever recorded only after January 2013–a month after the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Pelosi is the Executive Director of The Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus, a non-profit advocacy group working to keep families, students, and communities safe from gun violence. "Just like the pandemic, gun issues and gun theft in our country are public health issues and we think there are ways we can reduce the risk to people," Pelosi stated. "People have different reasons for purchasing weapons, but fear of the unknown and fear of what's happening right now is driving those sales."
The increase in firearms in the face of the virus have raised concerns over whether gun stores should be considered "essential" in society. The Trump administration included gun shops to the federal list of critical infrastructure and most states have followed along with this position. With at least 30 states across the nation, including the neighboring states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, allowing gun retailers to be open, New York is in the minority in terms of deeming gun shops as non-essential. According to Pelosi, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives stated that dealers can provide drive-up or walk-up services to help reduce health risks when buying guns. "There are more places where you can purchase a weapon through a drive-up or walk-up service than there are COVID-19 testing locations in the United States," Pelosi exclaimed.
There have also been multiple gun-related incidents involving the public's apprehension regarding the pandemic. Pelosi illustrated that "In Florida, there was a disabled man in Gainesville who was arrested for pulling a gun out. He got into an argument with a visitor in his apartment complex. He didn't want him [visitor] there because he didn't know if he had COVID-19. There was another incident in Wisconsin where a doctor and a husband were killed execution-style by the daughter's boyfriend over stresses related to COVID-19 and social distancing. This is very concerning."
In seeking to mitigate the increase in gun purchases in response to the pandemic situation, Pelosi advocated his support of more stringent safe storage laws. According to a study published on May 10, 2018 in the Journal of Urban Health, "Approximately 7% of US children (4.6 million) live in homes in which at least one firearm is stored loaded and unlocked, an estimate that is more than twice as high as reported in 2002, the last time a nationally representative survey assessed this outcome." Pelosi states that 75% of those kids know where the guns are located in the house. Although Westchester county has stricter safe storage laws than other towns and cities, Assemblyman Buchwald says that "there is more work to be done… I would like to see the national government step up in a way that it clearly has not in recent years."
Amidst the worries of gun violence in relation to the coronavirus pandemic are the concerns of domestic abuse and violence. Pelosi cites that "every month in the United States, 53 women lose their lives, which comes to around 600 women a year who are shot by their partners. With the COVID-19 there is an elevated risk for domestic abuse survivors; there is isolation from friends, family and support services." As a result, at-risk individuals are not able to retain the same access to in-person support services and call hotlines. "We have to establish a lifeline for these folks – it is an extremely dangerous time for many people, aside from what is happening with the pandemic."
Another consequence of the virus outbreak and resulting quarantine is the impact on the murder/suicide rates in the country both before and during the pandemic. Pelosi states that there are generally 11 murder/suicides by guns every week. However, between the dates of March 22 and April 2, there were at least 19 murder/suicide deaths during the stay at home order. "This is something that doesn't get a lot of attention and is being amplified by the fact that many people are being forced to stay in their homes and not have access to support services."
The burden that the coronavirus has placed on people socially and economically is clearly evident. However, the exponential rise in gun sales in relation to COVID-19 is becoming more acute. Pelosi passionately explains, "People need to care about this issue and they need to own it and not just rely on elected officials to keep us safe. We have got to make a change in this country so we can reduce gun deaths and gun injuries."

Gun Violence, Redistricting Challenge and More Driving Chappaqua's Kristen Browde in her Bid for State Assembly
March 22, 2020 by Grace Bennett
PHOTO BY CAROLYN SIMPSON, DOUBLEVISION PHOTOGRAPHERS
When Kristen Browde's son Theo came home from Horace Greeley, where he's a sophomore, and told her about a second mandatory lockdown drill, Browde said her decision was made up to run for state assembly in New York's 93rd district. "This generation has grown up with the fear that their school could be next."
Browde, who has sat on the Chappaqua School Board's financial advisory committee for almost ten years, said one of the things the committee often has talked about is how to "harden" our schools, but her contention is that security measures inside schools are not nearly enough.
"It remains easier in New York, in spite of our SAFE Act and red flag laws and all the progress we have made, to buy a high powered weapon–a military style weapon–and ammunition, than it is to buy a pack of Sudafed–and that is just wrong."
A former TV broadcaster, Browde cited experience that includes decades of effective lobbying in Albany as a national and local officer for and on behalf of The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (now SAG-AFTRA). She worked on legislation to ban the use of non-compete contracts that kept industry salaries low or stagnating.
"When I worked at Channel Five and Channel Four, the broadcast companies would put a non-compete clause into our contracts. This would say 'even after you leave my station, you cannot go to work for anybody else in this market for a certain amount of time.' The result of that was that the employee's bargaining power was substantially reduced because you would have to sit out six months or even a year without a salary–and that is how they kept you where you were at a lower salary, too. "It took seven years to get it passed. Back then, the Republicans were controlling the state legislature." Browde proudly stated that she finally helped pass the Broadcast Employees Freedom to Work Act.
"And now that the State Senate (a last bastion of the Republicans), has flipped, all of a sudden, bills that had been bottled up for years… were finally able to be brought to the floor and enacted into laws signed by Governor Cuomo.
"In recent years I have had the opportunity to build relationships with people like the Governor and with the leaders of both houses, in the course of working on these issues. I know who they are and who we need to work with to make changes happen."
Gun violence prevention will be her top priority. "Every parent who puts their kid on a school bus in the morning wants one thing–to get that kid back at the end of the day. It is not just the kids that are growing up with this fear, parents are as well. We are having to spend huge sums of money on school security… But if we can protect just a little bit more and at no cost, we ought to be doing that… Do the background checks and do the positive identification. You don't stop with the weapons; it's about the ammunition too. Moms Demand Action has a tremendous legislative program, so does the Brady Campaign. Both have absolutely solid things that this legislation should be working on in the next session."
Browde cited another critically important legislative task ahead: redistricting.
"We are going to have a census. It is almost certain that New York is going to lose a Congressional seat… Nita Lowey's seat is a pretty safe Democratic seat. Sean Patrick Maloney's is not. There are lines that are almost certainly going to be redrawn… We will need to protect the sanctity one person, one vote, rather than protect the sanctity of an individual politician. We have seen that in places like North Carolina what happens when you have tremendously gerrymandered districts that pack all the Democrats into one tiny little area: the Republicans, even though they are only 50% of the state, control 75-80% of the Congressional seats. We can't let that happen anymore."
The conversation veered into today's antisemitism which hits close to home for Browde. "My father's family fled Germany on Kristallnacht and his dad, my grandfather, didn't get out, but his mom did."
"Whether it is, anti-Jewish, anti-Black, anti-Hispanic, we have to use every single resource that is humanly possible to bring to bear to battle hate… That's a conversation that we in New York can start. Frankly, we in New York have the biggest problem with it right now.
At this juncture, Peter Moses, Browde's campaign advisor and a longtime journalist himself, pointed to Browde being "incisive, direct, and a listener" as key strengths during her media career. It's that same skill set, he said, that helped her pass legislation in Albany.
"It is why (Westchester County Executive) George Latimer has her on a couple of committees. The fact that she's really bright may have influenced him, but what keeps her there, what she keeps bringing to the table with all the new roles she takes on, is her ability to communicate and listen."
Melding Career Strengths Toward Key Consensus Building
"I've gone from reporter to divorce lawyer, which I used to describe as combining the two least respected professions in America into one stellar career, Now I'm adding politician, so it's a trifecta," Browde chimed in with a smile.
"As a divorce lawyer, you are dealing with people who at one point said they love each other and now can't see eye to eye about anything and you are trying to bring them together to a settlement that they can both live with. When you are doing a job of a legislator, or let's say, someone who is trying to persuade other legislators to come over to your side, you are doing the same thing. People who want the same thin–which is the best for the people of the state of New York."
"I'm also trying to figure out what the other person really needs, because frankly, while I don't agree with the policy positions espoused by most Republicans, the fact is I don't think they are bad people. I just think they have a different view of what is best…there are common points and if we can get together on those common points, then that is fine.
Browde reminded me too that "the sticking point right now is not the Republicans. In Albany today, Democrats control all three houses, the two houses of the legislature and the Governor's mansion, which are the three critical points of power in Albany. The problem is that the Democrats in the Assembly often can't reach an agreement. I'm pretty good at getting Democrats together… and have worked with people across the party, from the extreme left to the more conservative members of the party… and we got bills through and we got bills signed."
"It is less about policy differences than effectiveness," said Browde. "What I have shown is that first off, I don't stop. I don't stop. I am good at bringing people together who don't start agreeing… the only effective way to work in a legislative setting is to build coalitions."
Browde shared her optimism in the challenge to win the seat with "approximately 90,000 registered voters stretched out from Harrison and White Plains up to the Connecticut line."
"I am not Michael Bloomberg, I am not self-financing, so we are doing the same thing that everybody else is which is raising money through various Democratic Party channels: "People get fired up about my campaign–they're visiting us at KristenForNY93.com. People are energized about the political process in general right now. The June 23rd primary is the focus right this minute, and then it is off to November!"

10 Takeaways from a Conversation with our State Assemblyman David Buchwald on his Candidacy for Congress
December 1, 2019 by Grace Bennett
David and Lara Buchwald

In keeping with our Top Ten theme, here are ten key takeaways gleaned from my interview with David Buchwald, shortly after our 41 year-old legislator (Assembly District 93) announced his candidacy in October for the 17th Congressional district held by Nita Lowey for the last 31 years. After he was among the first to enter the race*: the interview took place over a 45-minute session seated at his dining room table in White Plains.
1. He is very enthusiastic about his candidacy and enjoys multiple corners of support. "I'm feeling excited because a lot of people approached me and said I'd be the right person to succeed Nita Lowey! Moving forward, it will be a pleasure to be able to fight for Westchester and Rockland Counties. We need a government in Washington that's much more effective than it has been the last few years. That's an important task that I'm up for."
Upon deciding, David made his first call to his wife Lara, an attorney/litigator on the board for the Legal Aid Society. "She was very supportive. I couldn't be in this line of work without a good support network."
Outside his family, there's no shortage of support or perception that Buchwald has earned this candidacy. Prior to his stint in the State Assembly, Buchwald served in local government, as a member of the White Plains Common Council, where he represented the entire city population of 57,000. He has also worked in support of municipalities throughout the State as a member of the Local Governments Committee of the New York State Assembly.
Since announcing, grassroots activists have already begun rallying on his behalf, and numerous and enthusiastic endorsements have been forthcoming including those from White Plains Mayor Tom Roach, North Castle Town Mayor Michael Michael Schiliro, Mount Kisco Mayor Gina Picinich, Rye Town Supervisor Gary Zuckerman, and New Castle Town Supervisor-Elect Ivy Pool.
Said Schiliro: "Throughout his career, Assemblyman Buchwald has been a responsive and trusted ally, as we've worked together to save taxpayers money, improve our libraries, and serve the people of North Castle I know he will be ready to undo the damage done at the federal level. David will be a leader we can count on in Congress."
Pool expressed her pride in endorsing Buchwald commenting to me that "David is a tireless advocate on local issues, while also championing our shared values. He is smart, creative, and industrious, and I know he will continue to work hard on behalf of his constituents as our Congressman. David is a worthy successor to Congresswoman Nita Lowey who has been a friend to New Castle, and an inspiration to so many."

2. His two adorable preschoolers, together with Lara, too, are the lights of his life; plus, they make him cognizant of enhancing quality of life for all of his constituents. At the time of the interview, Anna, 4, and Amelia, 2 were outside playing with the family nanny. Post our conversation, I fell hard for their infectious smiles and unsolicited hugs.
"I love seeing life through their eyes… Also, If you are trying to create a brighter future for them, it means a brighter future for everyone. There may be things Lara and I can do individually for them, but there are things–like climate change–that we need to do together for everyone…
"Hopefully every child who grows up here in the Hudson Valley has access to all the amazing things in this area. One of the big challenges for any representative in this area is maintaining affordability for families. He hopes to see their children "stick around and come back after college.
Robust employers are looking to relocate where young professionals live, he noted, adding that he would promote the county's transit system to attract those employers. "I used to live two blocks from White Plains train station. There's not many places outside New York City that you can live without a car!"
He called Lara his "Number 1 advisor. She makes sure I stay level-headed. I like to think I don't get too full of myself; she's someone I draw inspiration from–an accomplished professional in her own right, and a passionate advocate for legal representation."
3. He plans to hit the ground running and keep his door open. As he nears a 10-year anniversary of public service, Buchwald encourages residents to look closely at his record. "No issue is too small. My door is always open–if a constituent wants to connect with me, we always try to make that happen quickly."
He said that he believes his constituents have viewed him as "always present, always paying attention…. I think that's crucial to establish for this congressional race. Traffic willing, part of my goal in the campaign is to be everywhere my schedule allows."
4. He expressed a commitment to building on the work and skills he has already brought to the table. "We will continue to fight for the environment, for a woman's right to choose, and will make sure we bring resources to help those who are struggling to make ends meet…. I will put forward my vantage point as a tax attorney by trade to try to significantly improve and do right by those undermined by a Republican Congress and Trump's SALT reduction. He said adjustments need to be made in recognition that the cost of living here is higher.
5. He will continue to wage battle against the gun violence epidemic. "It's one of my main issues and what I ran on. I will try to bring my record of success in New York State to bear at the Federal level. The first vote I cast as a State Assemblyman was for the New York SAFE Act* which I co-sponsored. I have no doubt it has saved lives in New York.
He said he backed it up by a series of measures including expanding background checks and preventing "ghost guns…" "Common sense safety measures have been stymied despite that most Americans support them. We're getting to the point where New York State can only control so much because so much is tied to out of state…"
6. He aims to make it harder for any top government official in New York, including Trump, to hide their tax returns. Buchwald noted that he gained particular notoriety for a successful push, he explained, to adopt a law allowing the sharing of the New York State tax returns of top government officials, a law which Donald Trump is now suing to block.
He elaborated: "The law says New York State has a copy of tax returns of every filer in the state and that Trump as a New York state resident files his income tax returns. We already share those returns with the IRS, with tax departments in dozens of other states, so we said: "Let's have that same sort of cooperation with our federal counterparts in Congress. So we passed my bill, and it's now law, and Trump is suing to overturn that law. A New York motion to dismiss the case is pending…. I've always believed that open transparent government can make for better decision making."
7. He will fight to protect a woman's right to choose. "No matter what happens at the Supreme Court level, women in our region can have confidence that their rights will be protected. But, at the Federal level: there is an ongoing battle over basic principles that we've assumed for decades won't have government interference–that we won't make access to healthcare dependent on financial wherewithal. It's very disheartening to think that means equates with health care; it's antithetical to the right of a woman to consult with a doctor and make up her own mind."
8. He will speak out against racism, hate and anti-Semitism. "I think Trump has tried to govern by division and the great thing about the United States is that we are a country that at our best brings people together from so many different backgrounds, and that creates a society that is stronger than any one group of individuals can create on their own. We have a lot of work to do to bring the country together." He said he'd like to see a government "that does not use the Justice Department to undermine freedoms, or the Department of Homeland Security to tear homes apart. We need to ensure we have leaders who lead by example."
"My role as an elected official now, and hopefully in the future, is to bring people together. We have great towns and cities with shared experiences that can be built on. If you try to pit one part of a community against another, that turns very dangerous very quickly. We're seeing that with racism, with anti-Semitism… So, that's part of why I've spoken up at any opportunity to denounce hatred and say that a threat to any one individual or community is a threat to all."
9. As has been Nita Lowey's long established commitment, he too will support Israel. "I'm a strong supporter of Israel and a progressive. To me, those things go hand in hand. We have to support our friends around the world who stand for those values we support as Americans. That includes democracy and basic notions of tolerance. Israel is a country that welcomes refugees. It used to be that America was also known for that. My wife and I serve on a refugee committee at our synagogue to help sponsor a family where the father/husband served as an interpreter for our troops overseas. A legal immigrant is what a refugee is: admitted under the law. To see Trump cutting back on legal immigration strikes me as going against the core of what our country should be about.
"It's important for the United States to push for peace and stability in the Middle East and support the ability of Israel and Palestinians and other Arab neighbors to work through long established issues. Those who would seek to have the United States abandon their best ally in the region undermine the best aspects of Progressivism which recognizes the innate worth of people being able to make self-determining decisions."
10. His Judaism shapes his general outlook and encourages him to fight against corruption. "I am cognizant that my religion teaches me to be humble in light of the fact that there are things in this world we can't control. And that's certainly true of campaigns. But if you put your best foot forward and determine you're in it for the right reasons, there are people who will back you up. I find that very gratifying. I couldn't have gone to Albany and affected change there without having people who have my back. I had to fight people who wanted to maintain the status quo and was lucky to have constituents who sent me there precisely to shake things up, namely, to strip corrupt officials of their pensions.* They said it couldn't be done, and now it's the law of the land. You can only engage when you have a sense that there's a purpose. I like to think my religion supports that. My grandfather was a rabbi. I like to think he'd be proud of that."

RIP: Grindline Founder Mark Hubbard
by The Editors on June 9, 2018
Mark "Monk" Hubbard, the mind and muscle behind Grindline Skateparks and the DIY skatepark movement in general died June 8, 2018 at his home in West Seattle, according to a story on Fox Q 13. His cause of death has not be announced. Hubbard was 47 years old.
For skateboarders across the world, Hubbard was a significant figure. In the early 90's, he helped build Portland's Burnside Skatepark, seen by many as the model for modern parks. "This guy invented DIY (Do it Yourself)." Thrasher Magazine Editor-in-Chief Jake Phelps said. "You see kids out there digging ditches for skateboarding, it's because of Marty." . . .Hubbard transformed his love of DIY skateboarding into a business. He and his Grindline crews built parks from Orcas Island to Israel with a passion that transcended a mere job.
We will think of him every time we roll the flowing lines of Mammoth's Brother's Skatepark. Hubbard is survived by his wife Jenny and three children Kaya, Leona, and Odin. Our thoughts are with them all. If you'd like to send a gift to support the family, please click the link for GoFundMe.
Mark "Monk" Hubbard died yesterday. Mark was a loving, compassionate and extraordinary man, father, husband, artist, dreamer, skater, musician and spirit. The family wishes to share their gratitude for the love and support they are receiving from all those blessed to have him in their lives. (Edit – Mark was born in 1970, not 1972.)

Prosecutors Allege That Defendant Stole Judge's Vehicle During Crime Spree
File this one under Crime in the 21st Century. A teen live-streamed himself smoking pot with a gun in his lap after eluding police during a traffic stop. Antonio Butler has been charged with five counts of aggravated vehicular hijacking, armed robbery with a firearm, possession of a stolen vehicle, and more. Prosecutors also hinted that the crime spree was still under investigation, and that the teen may face additional charges. Since Butler is 18 years of age, he will be tried as an adult.
The Spree
The Audi was stolen on March 25. It was then reported in an armed robbery, but Butler was able to get away. Later that day, the Audi was reported in two gas station robberies, a carjacking, and another armed robbery. Police eventually caught up with the vehicle and found Butler asleep inside. They tapped on the window to wake him up and then broke through the window to get him out. Butler hit the gas and drove the Audi into police vehicles, before successfully fleeing the scene. He then posted a video to Instagram showing him smoking marijuana with a gun in his lap while bragging about losing the police.
Butler eventually figured out he would need to lose the Audi. At a gas station, he pulled up alongside a judge's vehicle and drove the judge's car off. Butler also fled the scene of a traffic stop during which he plowed through police cruisers. He has been denied bail.
What Will Happen to the Defendant?
Criminal defense attorneys tend to have clients who do not want to get caught. What happens when you have a client who actually taunts police on his way to capture? The answer is: Nothing good. Here, you have a defendant who wanted to be a star for a select group of people who thought leading the police on a chase and committing a string of crimes would be a cool thing to do. A person who thinks crime is cool and is performing for others who also think crime is cool is not going to be an ideal candidate for an aggressive defense. He has left his criminal defense attorney with very little room to maneuver. He has also placed the police in a position where they do not have to perform any forensics to tie Butler to the crimes. Butler could have been fingered by video surveillance, but judges toss evidence that does not conclusively show the defendant. Gas station security cameras do not make good witnesses. Neither do actual witnesses for that matter. Had the defendant even a shred of self-preservation, he would have forced police to take fingerprints from the vehicle or search for contact DNA. But then he could not take credit for losing police multiple times.

HOUMA � Frustrated with plans for low-rent apartments near their homes, dozens of north Terrebonne residents are expected to take their complaints to the Parish Council this week.
Earlier this month, more than 100 residents � mostly from Southern Estates subdivision � handed over petitions in opposition to Three Oaks, a neighborhood that would be built off La. 24 south of U.S. 90 in Gray. Local government is helping finance the neighborhood with $10 million in federal hurricane-recovery grants.
But residents say they fear the neighborhood, which will include a mix of rental units and owner-occupied home, will cause numerous problems, including decreased property values, crowded schools, increased traffic and more crime. They plan to present their case to the full council at its Wednesday night meeting.
The council gave initial approval this summer to using $10 million in hurricane-recovery money to build 335 low-rent units. Renters will be chosen based on income levels, with some, for instance, available for single people making $29,950 annually or less.
The state mandated that $10 million of the parish's recovery money be spent on affordable rental housing, and that's the only part of the subdivision planned for Gray the parish is helping build.
Residents have accused local officials of keeping details of the planned subdivision under wraps. No one in Southern Estates knew of the plans before this month, said David Bergeron, who lives on the subdivision's Sugar Bend Street.
"We're greatly impacted by what they're going to do over there," Bergeron said.
But parish officials contend they've worked with the state Office of Community Development to review the proposal, and the council's approval is conditional. The state still has to approve plans.
"The process has been transparent," Levron said. "We stand by the process that we've gone through, in terms of soliciting proposals. The review process was open and fair. We think the recommendation is fair."
Compared to other proposals, Three Oaks included the most rental units, Levron said. The second-ranked proposal offered 57 units, less than 20 percent of rental housing planned by Three Oaks, he said.
In addition to the rental housing, the 144-acre subdivision would include a golf course, grocery store, day-care center, two hotels and roughly 100 single-home lots.
Because the north Terrebonne site lacks land-use laws, property owners are not required to stick with one type of development, such as residential or retail, allowing for the mix being considered. Even an industrial complex would be allowed, provided it meets other state and local building and environmental requirements and secures the necessary permits.
The council meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the second-floor of the Government Tower, 8026 Main St., in Houma.
Here's a rundown of other items on this week's agendas.
� Oysters. Monday's set of council meetings starts with a presentation by Tyler Ortego, owner of ORA Technologies, during the council's Natural Resources and Coastal Restoration Committee. Ortego will discuss OysterKrete and OysterBreak, a method of rebuilding oyster reefs and ecosystems using shell-and-concrete rocks and mats. When the oysters are attached to the mats they provide an ecosystem and bank stabilization, said Councilman Kevin Voisin, who put the item on the agenda. His family owns and operates Motivatit Seafood in Houma.
"You couldn't harvest these oysters to eat because they're stuck on the concrete,"Voisin added.
The committee meeting is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m.
� Tax amnesty. A policy to allow those who owe delinquent sales taxes an opportunity to settle their debt will be discussed at the council's Budget and Finance Committee meeting at 5:45 p.m. Monday. Councilman Billy Hebert wants to set up a local version of the state's tax-amnesty program. He says doing so could help the parish collect thousands of dollars. Local sales-tax officials say the parish is owed roughly $347,000 in delinquent sales taxes and occupational license fees, mostly from shuttered businesses.
� High-school graduations. Most public high schools in Terrebonne hold their graduate ceremonies at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center. A decision on what those schools would be charged to the use the center in 2010 will be discussed at the council's Policy, Procedure and Legal Committee meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. Monday.
For the 2009 ceremonies, the Parish Council charged $300 per school, according to council documents. In previous years, each school was charged $1,425.
� Boat launch. The larger of three launches at the Texas Gulf Road boat launch in Bourg has been closed for two years, and the councilman for that area, Pete Lambert, wants it repaired and reopened. Grant money has been used to expand the parking area and repair some wharves, but no work has been done on the large launch, he said.
"During the hunting season, a lot of people use that launch," Lambert said. "The bigger boats have asked about it."
� Public cemeteries. The council will consider a proposal to restrict burials at the parish's three public cemeteries to Terrebonne residents. It will be discussed at the Community Development and Planning Committee meeting, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Space is limited at Halfway Cemetery in Gray, Southdown Cemetery next to the Parish Main Library in Houma and Bisland Cemetery in Montegut, Levron said. Since Terrebonne taxpayers pay to maintain the space, officials want to ensure preference is given to local residents. Exceptions will be made for families who already have multiple plots in a cemetery, Levron said.

Pretoria - The outbreak of the bird flu virus, commonly known as avian influenza, in the past few years has cost the country about R4 billion, says Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Senzeni Zokwana.
Speaking at the launch of the South African Veterinary Council Building in Pretoria on Tuesday, Minister Zokwana said: "We have, in the last few years, been plagued by disease outbreaks with negative trade consequences.
Minister Zokwana said a similar amount had been mentioned with regards to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in 2011, which has been resolved.
"Earlier this year, we had our FMD status reinstated. I would like to invite all stakeholders to join hands and work together to ensure that we strengthen veterinary services in our country," he said.
Minister Zokwana said his department has reviewed the report of the World Animal Health Organisation (OIE) on the Performance of Veterinary Services (PVS). They have further requested the OIE to perform a gap analysis and are now awaiting the organisation's response.
"We are expecting the OIE to return to South Africa later this year to inspect our controls for FMD in Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.
"It is my take that at a minimum, this sector should seek to meet minimum standards set by this body," he said.
Bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ostrich and ducks very sick and kill them. Last year, there was an outbreak of bird flu on an ostrich farm near Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape.
Strains do not usually infect humans but several cases of human infection with bird flu viruses have occurred since 1997. Infected birds shed flu virus in their saliva, nasal secretions and faeces.
Susceptible birds become infected when they have contact with contaminated excretions or surfaces that are contaminated with excretions.
It is believed that most bird flu infections in humans have resulted from contact with infected poultry or contaminated surfaces.


Sound and music affect corporate image and brand recognition in two ways. As a background, it is also possible to enhance brand recognition and consumer association with the brand in terminal display or other marketing. In advertising communication, it is the main factor in creating brand recognition and brand association. Everyone knows that if the sound is highly structured, we listen to music. Each company has its own theme in strengthening brand recognition and brand association. Background sounds can bring perfection, harmony, and unity to the world. It can make people depressed, happy, sad, and anxious.
Many services require sound, especially restaurants, hotels, hair salons, restaurants, and airports. Therefore, how each company carefully selects advertising music and creates different timbres and tones is also one of the important contents of integrated brand communication.
Music and sound in advertising can also create brand recognition and brand association. Rumei's microwave TV commercials, using the visual impact of fresh vegetable shake and crisp music to express its freshness, is a very good case. Background sounds and music can enhance consumer brand recognition. Because sound is a powerful emotional and behavioral cues, and vision produces a very vivid beauty, it is difficult to change the visual elements, and the sound is very easy to change. It is also constantly changing in nature. Therefore, due to the inherent variability of sound and its ease of change, it becomes a flexible, low-cost tool for creating enhanced brand recognition.
Materials can give a certain feeling to the product. In the integrated brand communication application, important materials for brand identification are used in the materials used in prints, interior and exterior decoration, company uniforms, and terminal exhibitions.
Whether the reception desk is marble or wood, and whether the uniforms are wool or polyester are all distinctive personalities and styles. Materials can create associations that are related to warmth, strength, and nature. What kinds of materials are used in a product will produce different brand associations. Inorganic materials such as marble, glass or metal are generally considered cold and hard, while organic materials such as wood and leather are considered warm and soft. It is generally believed that coarse materials are mostly used for outdoor objects, while smooth materials are suitable for indoor objects, but different visual enjoyment can also be produced by changing the design direction. Such as "beautiful" microwave oven with tempered glass facade, different from the competition of the plastic door. Tempered glass gives consumers a feeling of safety and durability. The plastic door feels fragile and unreliable. Only the material changes will enable consumers to shift the brand, which has helped the "beautiful" microwave oven to seize the market.
The sense of smell comes mainly from the sense of smell, and the sense of smell is the strongest feeling. In our living environment, odors are ubiquitous. Although taste cannot create brand recognition, it can enhance brand recognition and brand association. The "beautiful" rice cooker started its marketing with the sense of smell when it opened the market. They use rice cookers directly at major shopping malls to cook rice. The aroma of rice attracts consumers' attention to rice cookers in the United States, making it easy for "beautiful people" to recommend various advantages of "beautiful" rice cookers to customers, and to make "beauty" the world's largest rice cooker production base. .
Many companies plan product serialization through odor differences. Odor is made up of some ingredients that can produce a lot of sensations. Odors are generally divided into seven types: 1 mint, 2 floral, 3 elegant, 4 musk, 5 resin, 6 malodorous, and 7 spicy. Through research, women reflect different odors than men, and scent has a psychological and physiological effect. Humans have excellent ability to distinguish various odors, and the memory of odors may be the strongest memory that people have. The experience, assessment, and cognitive learning of odors may depend to a large extent on text labels.
Differences in odors, strong memory of odors, and the ability to create unique associations make olfaction an enhanced tool for company or brand recognition. Instead of scent itself, we compare it with other things to show that scent can evoke memory. The smell of spring is floral; the smell of summer is fruity; the smell of autumn is the smell of rice; the smell of winter may be pine. When a marketer establishes or reinforces a certain type of identification, he or she can easily establish the desired brand feeling through smell.
In short, design style is a manifestation of integrated brand communication. Brand planners and brand managers should establish styles based on brand strategy. It can rationally reflect brand personality and commonality, thus building brand awareness, reputation, loyalty, and Brand association. In integrating brand communication planning, we must comprehensively use the overall and individual means of design style.
