ELECTED OFFICIAL REPORT CARDS
Curious where your elected officials stand on gun violence issues? Hudson Valley Stands Up, based on extensive research of voting records and policy issues, has created "report cards" for our elected officials so you can hold them accountable in the voting booth. Scores have been awarded between A+ and F (like a typical school report card), and we also made note if an elected official received our "HVSU Stamp of Approval" based on applications from the 2018 election cycle. Applications for our "HVSU Stamp of Approval" can be accessed on the "Political Involvement" tab on our website. Our report cards below include background information on how that elected official has handled gun violence issues in the past, as well as a summary of our grade. We hope you find them helpful, please spread and share!
Governor Andrew Cuomo (D)
HVSU Gun Safety Rating: A+
Legislative Track Record: Governor Cuomo has fought for better gun control legislation since taking office. Most notably, Cuomo spearheaded the passage of the groundbreaking NY SAFE Act to ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines, create an assault weapons registry, and enact other lifesaving gun reforms, even in the face of a state legislature that was resistant to the idea of stricter gun laws. Governor Cuomo also pushed for and signed new laws this year that add further restrictions on firearm possession, a package of bills that includes the Extreme Risk Protection Order (allowing a judge to remove a firearm from a person deemed a reasonable threat to themself or others) and a ban on bump stocks. Most recently, Governor Cuomo signed a bill banning school personnel from carrying firearms on campus (previous law had allowed for written permission from the school district to do so). Governor Cuomo, in cooperation with State Attorney General Letitia James, has also assailed the NRA's nonprofit status in New York State.
Outside Organizations: Governor Cuomo was endorsed for reelection in 2018 by Everytown for Gun Safety, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and groups associated with former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a prominent gun control advocate following her near death in a shooting. Cuomo received an F rating from the National Rifle Association, a fact that he has proudly displayed during his campaigns for office.
HVSU Grade: Governor Cuomo has been one of the foremost advocates for gun reform during his tenure as New York State Attorney General, and now Governor. His leadership led to New York passing some of the strictest, most progressive gun laws in the country, and he has repeatedly demonstrated a commitment to ending the scourge of gun violence by any means necessary. Governor Cuomo's tireless work warrants the highest HVSU grade of A+.
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D)
Legislative Track Record: As the US Senate Minority Leader, Senator Schumer has fought for expanded universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, a ban on individuals on the no-fly list acquiring firearms, and a ban on bump stocks. He spearheaded Democratic legislation in 2018 designed to address many of these issues, and urged the Senate to take action in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting with a Senate floor speech, flanked by a #NeverAgain sign. Schumer has also repeatedly cited the work of student activists as a driving force behind the movement for change, though his proposed legislation died in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Outside Organizations: Senator Schumer scored a 100% from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence during his 2016 re-election campaign, and has received support from Everytown for Gun Safety. Schumer has an F rating from the National Rifle Association.
HVSU Grade: Senator Schumer has been a strong advocate for gun control in Washington, and has been a proactive voice when it comes to proposing legislation. Though few of his efforts have been met with success, this is more the consequence of the Republican party controlling the US Senate than a failure on the part of the minority leader. Senator Schumer's commitment to this issue deserves a score of A+.
U.S. Senator Kirstin Gillibrand (D)
HVSU Gun Safety Rating: A
Legislative Track Record: During her time as a congresswoman in Upstate New York (representing a district analogous to that currently held by Rep. Antonio Delgado), Gillibrand was a staunch gun rights supporter. She co-sponsored many NRA-backed bills, including measures to block the ATF from updating its recordkeeping procedures and remove from gun dealers any responsibility if they knowingly sold weapons to a dangerous individual. Gillibrand cited "hunters' rights" as her defense, and proudly acknowledged keeping guns beneath her bed. However, upon her elevation to the Senate, Gillibrand's position on gun control changed, even leading her to move the firearms under her bed. She voted against allowing firearms in baggage aboard Amtrak, and voted in favor of restrictions on high-capacity magazines. In her 2020 presidential campaign, Gillibrand has announced her support of universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a crackdown on gun sale loopholes. She has cited the Sandy Hook massacre and the attempted murder of fellow Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as the impetus behind her abrupt shift on this issue.
Outside Organizations: Gillibrand was endorsed for reelection in 2018 by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her gun control advocacy group, and her gun violence prevention plan has been praised by Everytown for Gun Safety. Gillibrand scored an A+ from the NRA during her tenure in Congress, but her current rating is F.
HVSU Grade: Senator Gillibrand is currently a strong supporter of gun reform. Though her past stances on the issue are concerning (her NRA grade dropped from an A to an F in the span of a week after she was appointed to the Senate) her current stances are in line with what should be expected from an elected official. Senator Gillibrand thus scores an A, factoring in her past discrepancies on the issue.
Congressman Antonio Delgado (D)
Background Checks: Congressman Delgado co-sponsored H.R. 8, or the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019. During his 2018 election, Mr. Delgado stated support for stiffer background checks on a nationwide basis. The Congressman states that he respects the 2nd Amendment, but that "we can't keep ignoring the facts" of gun violence. A transcript of Mr. Delgado's remarks regarding background checks is included below:
"Madam Speaker, I rise today because we must listen to our children. Our children are calling out for us to take action to address the epidemic of gun violence, which has spread to traditionally safe places like schools, concert halls, movie theaters, and places of worship. Our children our growing up under the constant paranoia of gun violence. Try, if you can, to imagine the depth of their fear and anxiety, where nowhere is safe. "
"Last week, I visited seven schools in my district and spoke with students who fear for their safety and stress over our inability to take action on gun violence. We are not even halfway through 2019, and there have already been thirteen school shootings! Is there any mystery behind the student walkouts we experienced last year in response to gun violence?"
"I was proud to support H.R. 8, back in March, in order to achieve long overdue universal background checks – a baseline measure to address gun violence. Now, the Senate must act. I implore my colleagues in the Senate to hear the young people of our county calling for change and to pass H.R. 8. The time is now. I yield back my time."
Loopholes: Congressman Delgado has stated support for closing dangerous loopholes that allow individuals to access guns even if they would normally be unable to. These loopholes include the gun show loophole (not requiring federal background checks on purchases at a gun show) and the Charleston loophole (allowing a prospective purchaser to receive a weapon after a certain time period automatically if their background check has not been completed). Mr. Delgado has also supported banning bump stocks, like the one used in the Las Vegas shooting to augment a semiautomatic rifle as an automatic one.
Outside Organizations: Mr. Delgado was a Moms Demand Action "Gun Sense Candidate" during his 2018 bid. He has refused to take money from the NRA, which gave him a rating of F.
HVSU Grade: Given Congressman Delgado's staunch support for gun safety measures such as universal background checks and closing gun safety loopholes in federal law, as well as his support for student-led initiatives to combat gun violence, we are happy to give Congressman Delgado a rating of A+. He also applied for and received a 2018 HVSU Stamp of Approval, and HVSU hosted Congressman Delgado for a Youth Town Hall at Arlington High School in June 2019.
Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney (D)
Legislative Track Record: Congressman Maloney has a track record of supporting gun safety legislation. His website calls for a ban on assault weapons, raising the legal age to purchase a firearm, improvements to the National Instant Background Check System (NICS), implementing universal background checks, closing loopholes like the gun show loophole, and repealing the Dickey Amendment (which prohibits the CDC from conducting research on gun violence). Maloney also voted for H.R. 8 to address universal background checks. In 2018, Maloney hand-delivered 200 letters from Hudson Valley students on the subject of gun violence to then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. Congressman Maloney is also in favor of banning bump stocks.
Outside Organizations: Maloney was endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety and received support from Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety in America. Maloney received an F rating from the National Rifle Association.
HVSU Grade: Congressman Maloney has a proven track record of fighting for gun safety legislation, both at home in New York and in Washington. He has taken strident stances in favor of common sense gun reform, and against radical anti-safety organizations such as the NRA. Congressman Maloney's record of service clearly warrants an A+ rating from HVSU. He also applied for and received a 2018 HVSU Stamp of Approval.
State Assemblywoman Didi Barrett (D)
Existing Legislation: Assemblywoman Barrett has stated that New York's existing gun laws must be enforced, such as measures like the NY SAFE Act.
Outside Organizations: The NRA gave Barrett a 79% agreement score as recently as 2012, though that score dropped to just 13% in the 2018 election cycle. Barrett also scored a 0% from the New York Shooters Committee on Public Education.
Legislative Track Record: Assemblywoman Barrett cosponsored A1627, which prohibits state police from imposing a surcharge on recertification of gun licenses. Barrett also cosponsored K1274, which supported the adoption of the month of June as Gun Violence Awareness Month in the state of New York.
HVSU Grade: Assemblywoman Barrett has supported gun safety measures during her time in the Assembly, and is opposed to repealing New York's current gun safety legislation. Assemblywoman Barrett's gun safety stances have been acceptable during her time in Albany, warranting a grade of A. She also applied for and received a 2018 HVSU Stamp of Approval.
State Assemblyman Kieran Lalor (R)
HVSU Gun Safety Rating: F
Legislative Track Record: Assemblyman Lalor was one of just 22 votes against a ban on 3-D printed guns in New York. Lalor also attacked a bill designed to prevent individuals on the no-fly list from obtaining a firearm, calling it "politically motivated." Lalor has also attacked the SAFE Act, claiming it to be costly and ineffective.
Outside Organizations: Lalor is a member of the National Rifle Association, and was given a failing grade by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence.
HVSU Grade: Assemblyman Lalor has shown throughout his tenure a blatant disregard for or open hostility to gun safety legislation. Lalor has opposed every common sense gun safety measure that he has had a chance to vote on, and is proud of it. Assemblyman Lalor receives an F.
State Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson (D)
Legislative Track Record: Jacobson was first elected in 2018 and does not have an extensive legislative track record. Jacobson has been a prominent proponent of a ban on 3D printed guns, as well as for the Extreme Risk Protection Order. Jacobson also voted in favor of other gun control legislation this year to regulate gun transport, ban bump stocks, expand background checks, and ban schools from arming teachers.
Outside Organizations: Jacobson received an F from the NYS Rifle Association during his 2018 campaign.
HVSU Grade: Assemblyman Jacobson has supported every piece of gun reform legislation during his short time in Albany, and risen to local prominence for his strong stances on the issue. Assemblyman Jacobson warrants an A.
State Senator Sue Serino (R)
HVSU Gun Safety Rating: D-
Legislative Track Record: While in the county legislature, Serino sponsored legislation opposing the NY SAFE Act. She has co-sponsored nearly every bill in the State Senate since her election to that position to repeal the SAFE Act as well. Serino has repeatedly stated that mental health is a larger problem than gun violence, and she sees gun control restrictions as government infringement on the rights of Americans. Serino also voted against a bill that would bar convicted domestic abusers from purchasing a firearm. However, Serino did vote in favor of a bill to ban 3-D printed firearms.
Outside Organizations: Serino was failed by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, and has a 93% issues score from the National Rifle Association. The NRA's Political Victory Fund has also donated thousands of dollars to Serino's campaigns for State Senate.
HVSU Grade: Senator Serino has shown steadfast opposition to any kind of gun safety legislation (with the sole exception of regulation of 3D printed guns), and is a vocal opponent of even basic restrictions on gun use. Most shocking was her vote to allow domestic abusers to have access to firearms. Serino must be replaced in the next round of elections, and we accordingly award her a grade of D-.
State Senator Pete Harckham (D)
Legislative Track Record: Senator Harckham, first elected last year, voted in favor of gun control measures in Albany, including voting for the Extreme Risk Protection Order and legislation to ban bump stocks. Harckham has repeatedly cited statistics showing that stronger gun control laws help to reduce the number of deaths in the affected areas.
Outside Organizations: Senator Harckham was a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate in his 2018 election. Senator Gillibrand also cited Senator Harckham's strong stance in favor of gun control in her endorsement of his campaign. The New York State Rifle Association gave Senator Harckham a rating of F during his 2018 campaign.
HVSU Grade: Senator Harckham has supported every gun safety measure presented to him during his first year in Albany, and has a strong track record of supporting gun safety. Senator Harckham is a strong advocate for gun safety, and receives an A rating.

Just because you have no money doesn't mean you can't get good folks to help you make your movie, particularly if you're just shooting over a single weekend.
When I was planning to shoot an extremely low budget digital short film this spring, I figured I'd do it all with a crew of three. But my astute and incredible producer saw that the script really required a few more key folks, including a wardrobe supervisor, a makeup person, a production designer, and an assistant director. She made some calls and a half dozen amazingly talented folks with whom we'd worked on other projects signed on to work for free that weekend. It turned out to be the smoothest shoot and perhaps the best crew I've had.

"It's no secret that the healthcare industry is a hackers' gold mine for valuable, sensitive data. Along with private information like patients' names, mailing addresses, email aliases and dates of birth, healthcare firms also hold extremely personal health data, such as lab results, dictated reports, prescribed medications and medical conditions.
In 2015, we witnessed numerous hospital networks and health insurers fall victim to data breaches. Community Health Systems, Premera and Anthem were just some of the bigger names making regular headlines last year, but the attacks trickled down to even the smaller physicians' offices.
"A 16-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of being "Cracka," the hacker believed to have broken into the CIA Director's email account and publicly releasing data belonging to FBI and Homeland Security agents.
"Since mid-2015, Twitter has suspended over 125,000 accounts "for threatening or promoting terrorist acts." Most of these were related to ISIS.
"We condemn the use of Twitter to promote terrorism and the Twitter Rules make it clear that this type of behavior, or any violent threat, is not permitted on our service," the popular social networking service explained.

Q: How to set Formik initialValues using interpolated strings? I am trying to use Formik initialValues with an id provenient from props. The way one would do it is like this:
<Formik
     initialValues={{
       smallPrice: smallPrice,
       bigPrice: bigPrice,
     }}

I am trying, however, to create the names for initial values like this, but it won't work:
<Formik
     initialValues={{
       `smallPrice${props.id}`: `smallPrice${props.id}`,
       `bigPrice${props.id}`: `bigPrice${props.id}`,
     }}

What alternative can be used?

A: You need [] to create dynamic keys

{
   [`smallPrice${props.id}`]: `smallPrice${props.id}`,
   [`bigPrice${props.id}`]: `bigPrice${props.id}`,

Kvyat and Bortolotti join Prema's expanded WEC line-up for 2023
Listen to this article Kvyat and Bortolotti will share Prema's second Oreca 07-Gibson with the previously-announced Doriane Pin, forming an all-rookie line-up in the LMP2 class of the WEC. The Italian outfit's primary #9 entry will be crewed by one-time Formula 3 race winner Bent Viscaal, 20-year-old Romanian Filip Ugran and Juan Manuel Correa. Correa, who was announced by Prema in early January alongside Pin, will miss the opening round at Sebring due to a clash with Formula 2, with his place in the crew being taken by Lamborghini ace Andrea Caldarelli. Prema has decided not to retain any of the three drivers that were part of its first assault on the WEC in 2022, with Robert Kubica , Lorenzo Colombo and Louis Deletraz all dropped from the team's line-up. Deletraz was recently announced as returning to the ELMS this year with the TF Sport-run Racing Team Turkey, while Kubica and Colombo are yet to reveal their racing programmes for 2023. The arrival of Kvyat … [Read more...] about Kvyat and Bortolotti join Prema's expanded WEC line-up for 2023

Acura aces hope Rolex 24 1-2 changes Honda's Le Mans outlook
Listen to this article The Acura ARX-06, which won on its competition debut in last weekend's IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, will be confined to North America for 2023 with parent brand Honda yet to give the go-ahead for the car to be raced in the FIA World Endurance Championship. A spokesperson for Honda in Japan told Motorsport.com late last year that nothing had been decided about a potential WEC or Le Mans entry in 2024, while admitting such a venture was an "option for the future". Meyer Shank Racing driver Blomqvist believes that the competitiveness shown by the ARX-06 in Daytona could shift the dial for Honda's bosses. "I think it will give confidence to Honda and the decision-makers to give it a go," Blomqvist, who secured victory alongside Colin Braun , Helio Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud , told Motorsport.com. "I think they were a bit nervous about going there and not being able to fight for victory, but they've got to pat … [Read more...] about Acura aces hope Rolex 24 1-2 changes Honda's Le Mans outlook

Q: Is it significantly slower if I have over a hundred data members (variables) in a php class? I have a PHP class called Vehicle that manages everything pertaining to cars,motorbikes and trucks. I have over a hundred private variables that is associated with every db field in each of the tables cars,bikes,trucks.
For example:
A car has:
-Fuel Consumption
-Max horsepower
-Max torque .. etc..
so i have data members
private $fuel;
private $horsepower;
private $toque;

When I do a database query to find a car by id, i store all the rows inside their corresponding variables.
The car table has about 50 fields, the bikes table has 30 fieldsand the trucks 30 fields. So there is over 110 data members.
Is there a better way to do that?

A: Inheritance and polymorphism are your friends!
The Car should be one class (with 50 properties), bike - another one (30 properties), truck - another (30 properties). They all should extend the Vehicle base class

A: You can try lazy loading: In the constructor (or whatever function that gets the car id) you only store the id in the class, and for every other variable you only load it from the DB when you really need it.

A: Number of variables rarely has an impact except in code management. Object Oriented Programming utilizing polymorphism is the first step to keeping your domain objects in good order. Once you have that, you can look into an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) for getting variables to and from the db PHP Active Record would be a good place to start.
Also, when you say 'bikes have 30 rows', you mean fields, right? Typically if you have a database table for 'bikes', each row is a different bike and each field is a different attribute of a given bike.


Shareholder Management: The Forgotten Function of Joint Venture Boards?
SHAREHOLDER MANAGEMENT remains a quiet corner of corporate boardrooms. According to a McKinsey & Company study, corporate Boards spend less than 10% of their time managing investors and other stakeholders – and of the seven main focal points of a Board, shareholder management is the one where Directors are least interested in upping time spent (Exhibit 1).

With Obsidian, Kwikset, the number one selling U.S lock manufacturer and provider of smart locks made for the world you live in, offers homeowners who love modern design and technology a stylish and secure option for their doors. Obsidian is an extremely slim, modern, key-free electronic lock that can be controlled using a responsive touchscreen. It is the first Kwikset electronic deadbolt to forego traditional keys in favor of a low-profile design.
"Obsidian is a breakthrough electronic lock for Kwikset as it's the first to be designed specifically for style-conscious consumers, without compromising technology and security," says Jason Tu, Kwikset Product Manager, Spectrum Brands, Inc. – Hardware and Home Improvement Division. "With the launch of Obsidian, we are giving discerning homeowners a modern electronic lock that fits their individual design preferences."

Low-Profile Design: Obsidian is a key-free, low profile electronic lock, projecting less than an inch off the door.
Convenient Touchscreen: Obsidian features a convenient responsive exterior touchscreen that quickly illuminates upon touch for faster code entry. The illuminated screen reveals a crisp white LED display designed for both day and night lighting.
Patented Security: The exterior touchscreen of Obsidian features SecureScreen™ technology, helping prevent against unwanted entry commonly associated with other touchscreen products. With SecureScreen, users are prompted to touch two random numbers before entering their access code to encourage fingerprints across the screen.
Backup Power: In case the batteries run out, Obsidian features a 9V terminal at the bottom of the deadbolt exterior that acts as a backup power source to display the touchscreen for code entry. Unlike other key-free smart locks, the terminal is unobtrusive and discreet.
Obsidian is available for purchase now at select retailers for the suggested retail price of $179. For homeowners with smart security systems, Kwikset plans to release Obsidian with Home Connect™ technology later this year, which will give homeowners the flexibility to choose a system that works for them, their families and their homes.

Why Do Centipedes Invade Homes?
Some of you may be wondering why you are suddenly seeing centipedes in your home. Similar to many other pests, in the winter, centipedes are looking for a dark, moist, secluded space that offers them a food source to wait out the cold months. Then in the spring and summer when they are most active, they can lay their eggs; and their numbers increase. Of course, none of us want this to happen inside of our homes!
How Do Centipedes Get Inside?
Now that you know why they want to make your home theirs, the next most important question to answer is "how do they get into your house?" Centipedes typically will access your home by sneaking in through cracks and crevices or by climbing up through bathtub drains. Once inside, they will hide in closets, basements, bathrooms, and under kitchen sinks; and that's just the beginning.
Are Centipedes Harmful to Humans?
Centipedes look like they just came out of a horror movie. Some varieties can have anywhere from 15 to 177 pair of legs, and typically grow up to one inch long (some species have even been known to be as long as 6"). House centipedes range in color but commonly are grayish yellow and have dark stripes on top. Each segment of their body has a pair of legs. They have hairy antennae they use to detect prey, and have the capability of injecting venom into their prey to immobilize it. This venom, however, is generally not harmful to humans. They feed on insects, worms, and spiders; but they also eat other centipedes dead or alive. Contrary to what some people think, centipedes do not eat wood like millipedes can.
Centipedes are nocturnal, are rarely seen by people, and do not leave much of a trace behind that would indicate their existence in your home. When they are found by humans, it's usually as they scurry along the floor or up a wall. They move really fast and will lift their bodies up to run and will lower it to the ground again when they stop. Regardless of the fact that they are harmless, you don't want them invading your home!
How Can You Avoid Attracting Centipedes?
There are a few things you can do to avoid attracting these creepy pests to your home. Indoors, you can remove clutter, caulk and seal any cracks and crevices, and eliminate moisture by using dehumidifiers. Outside, you can deter centipedes by cleaning up junk, compost, wood, and leaf piles. Also be sure to remove standing water, trim around plants, use door sweeps, and install tight-fitting doors and windows. These tips can be helpful, but using a year-round pest control plan from a trusted provider such as Alexandria Pest Services will give you much better and lasting results.
When you contact APS about a pest problem, we'll come to your home, business, or government office to conduct a full inspection. This allows us to pinpoint the pest type and any points of entry or problem areas. If you are experiencing a centipede problem or any other pest control issue, call us at 703-923-0925 to schedule a professional inspection of your home. We will provide recommendations for the corrective measures and solutions to get rid of pests for good!
