CUOMO'S LATEST SET OF DEMANDS: COMING TO NY, NEED COVID TEST, HAS ONCE AGAIN CONSULTED THOSE "EXPERTS"

LOHUD--- ALBANY - New York is scrapping its weekly list of states from where visitors had to quarantine and instead implementing a new COVID-19 testing system for all travelers outside contiguous states.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the change Saturday, saying a rigorous testing standard is a better way to control the virus' spread in New York.

Almost all states were on the state's 14-day quarantine list, making its weekly metrics to determine who met the criteria a fluid system. Even New York itself was trending toward making its own list on Tuesday, when it was next due to be updated.

"Given the changing facts, we’re coming up with a new program," Cuomo said on a conference call with reporters. "And all the experts suggest we shift to a testing system, and that’s what we are going to do."  MORE AT https://www.lohud.com/story/news/politics/2020/10/31/visiting-new-york-covid-quarantine-test-what-to-know/6102236002

And here is the NY POST ARTICLE; Cuomo cites "anecdotal evidence" that he's doing a great job https://nypost.com/2020/10/31/gov-cuomo-says-all-travelers-must-get-tested-for-covid-19/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=push-notification&utm_campaign=gov-cuomo-says-all-travelers-must-get-tested-for-covid-19

ACTOR SEAN CONNERY HAS DIED

THE UK DAILY MAIL is reporting that actor Sen Connery, best known for his role as 007/James Bond, has died.

More details to be forthcoming.

Here's our Everything Croton trbute to Connery by way of...

1965's "Thunderball", the 4th James Bond film starring Sean Connery and Claudine Auger.

Click on the photos and links.

The film follows Bond's mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world to ransom for £100 million in diamonds, in exchange for not destroying an unspecified major city in either the United Kingdom or the United States (later revealed to be Miami). 

The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the card-playing, eye patch-wearing SPECTRE Number Two. 

Backed by CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's mistress, Domino Derval, Bond's search culminates in an underwater battle with Largo's henchmen. The film had a complex production, with four different units and about a quarter of the film consisting of underwater scenes.  

Thunderball was the first Bond film shot in widescreen Panavision and the first to have a running time of over two hours.   READ MORE AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderball_(film)

The film also featured French actress Claudine Auger who passed away n late 2019.

PART 8, AT THE REQUEST OF OUR LOCAL AUTHORS AND JOURNALISTS: TWITTER BACKS DOWN

The move came after The Post refused Twitter’s demand that it delete six tweets that linked to stories that the company claimed — without any evidence — were based on hacked information.

The Post never budged, and kept the tweets on the account during the standoff — even as Twitter obscured them from view.  In a series of tweets, the social-media giant said it was revising its “Hacked Materials Policy” and “updating our practice of not retroactively overturning prior enforcement.” MORE AT https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/twitter-backs-down-agrees-to-unlock-posts-account/

ABOUT THOSE MISSING SIGNS, MR. MASUR SHOULD APOLOGIZE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THE FOLLOWING LETTER APPEARS IN THIS WEEK'S GAZETTE; IT APPEARS HERE WITH THE WRITER'S PERMISSION

To the Editor:

I was upset by Croton Democrat Party Chair Rich Masur’s letter in the October 22 through 28, 2020 edition of the Gazette. Mr. Masur wrote to complain about the theft of Biden and Harkman lawn signs. I whole heartedly agree with his displeasure over the theft of political signs on private property. However, Mr. Masur wrongly suggested the guilt of multiple Trump supporters by using the word “people” not “person for this illegal act. How does he know? No one has been arrested or identified as far as I know. One may think it might be one Trump supporter, possibly two or three, but to disparage Trump supporters, as a group of having no way to “win an election other than cheating” is unacceptable. Mr. Masur further wrote “who else would do such a small minded and unethical thing?” Does he believe all or most Croton Trump supporters are “small minded and unethical?” All politics might be local but local politics need not be vile, defamatory, and outright nasty.

Mr. Masur owes a huge apology to the almost 30% of Croton residents who voted for President Trump in 2016. I hope our fellow residents, Democrat and Republican will find a way to remember we are all neighbors with differing, but constitutionally protected points of view. This includes Biden supporters right to put any lawn sign they wish on their own property and the right of Trump supporters to not be disparaged or accused of a crime without legally binding evidence. I assume we all love our country and our village, no matter our political affiliation or our differing thoughts on how to fix our many problems.

On a side note, for the edification of Mr. Masur, I have spoken to one Village Trump supporter who has had his Trump lawn signs stolen on multiple occasions.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Whiting

PART 7, AT THE REQUEST OF OUR LOCAL AUTHORS AND JOURNALISTS--TWO ITEMS: THE NYTIMES ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH OVER JOURNALISTIC ETHICS--AND THE INTERCEPT'S GREENWALD RESIGNS OVER CENSORSHIP

1) NEW YORK TIMES ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH OVER JOURNALISTIC ETHICS--ANALYSIS/OPINION:

In the late first century after the birth of Christ, the Roman poet Juvenal asked a simple question: “Quis custodes ipsos custodiet?” Who will guard the guardians themselves?

Juvenal was talking about sexual fidelity, but in our intellectually desiccated era, the question is most often applied to governments.

However, it should most reasonably apply to those who identify themselves as the guardians of the public good in our society — the free media. Is the media the “enemy of the people” as some have claimed? They are not.
 
But neither are they the tribunes of civic virtue and steady, unbiased tellers of truth. In many instances, they are, unfortunately, the unwatched watchmen.

Let me offer three examples, each drawn from The New York Times, which styles itself as the paper of record (whatever that means) in the United States.

First, we come to the 1619 Project, which posed the hypothesis that 1619, the year that slavery was introduced to English North America, represented the “real” founding date of the United States. That project won all sorts of acclamations, prizes, ribbons and what not.

Its only problem appeared to be that it was wrong...READ MORE AT  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/28/new-york-times-asleep-at-the-switch-over-journalis/

THESE 12 GRAPHS SHOW MASK MANDATES DO NOTHING TO STOP COVID, THE FEDERALIST

Post is closed to all comments; questions and comments must be referred to the media source cited:

These 12 Graphs Show Mask Mandates Do Nothing To Stop COVID--No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows, cases all fall and rise around the same time.....Masks have become a political tool and a talisman. When COVID-19 hit, governments panicked and created enormous fear. The Centers for Disease Control currently estimates a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.99 percent for people younger than 50, but the damage created by the panic was too great to undo.

It is likely that some politicians eventually realized their mistake and needed a way to back-pedal without admitting their lockdowns were a policy disaster. Their solution was for people to put any old piece of cloth across their face and magically believe that it’s okay to go out shopping again.

Masks are not merely a small inconvenience. They have inadvertently become a key impediment to returning to a more normal life, a desirable goal for those seeking to twist the pandemic for political and electoral purposes. Masks dehumanize us, and ironically serve as a constant reminder that we should be afraid. People can now be spotted wearing masks while camping by themselves in the woods or on a solo sailing trip.

REMEMBERING THE VERY DEBONAIR ADOLPHE MENJOU

Who died this date in 1963....

Courtesy of our friends at European Film Star Postcards...IMPORTED FROM THE USA, ADOLPHE MANJOU----Suave and debonair American actor Adolphe Menjou (1890-1963) with his trademark waxy black moustache was one of Hollywood's most distinguished stars and one of America's 'Best Dressed Men'. He started as a matinee idol in the silent cinema in such classics as Ernst Lubitsch's The Marriage Circle (1924). His sound films included Morocco (1931) with Marlene Dietrich and Gary Cooper, A Star is Born (1937), and Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas. READ AND SEE MUCH MORE HERE

NY DAILY NEWS--'It felt dangerous’: Destructive Brooklyn protest, with trash fires and broken windows, leaves local businesses shaken

A Brooklyn restaurant manager, hours after a violent borough protest marked by shattered glass, trash fires and 39 damaged businesses, suggested the demonstrators give peace a chance.

Mahmoud Alsafarini, 25, arrived at the Hadramout Restaurant for his Wednesday morning shift just a few doors down from the broken windows at an Urban Outfitters outlet. Several black-clad demonstrators also smashed windows at a Starbucks and a Bank of America branch on Court St., along with the windshield of a green taxi, in a demonstration over the Philadelphia police shooting of a knife-wielding Black man.

Dozens of protesters, including suspected members of the anti-fascist group Antifa, rampaged through Williamsburg over the weekend, trashing several national chain stores and spraying anti-police graffiti, according to police and sources.

The rowdy mob marched through the Brooklyn neighborhood late Saturday, with police first receiving a 911 call at 8:20 p.m. about vandalism at an Apple Store on Bedford Avenue, where they found broken windows and the letters “FTP” — typically meaning “F–k the police” in this context — spray-painted on the wall, cops said.

Developers Submit Revised Plans for MOD in Cortlandt 

October 27, 2020 The developers of two mixed-use projects in the area of New York-Presbyterian/Hudson Valley Hospital on Route 202 in Cortlandt have submitted revised conceptual site plans.

CHRIS CUOMO AGAIN, MORE GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME VIRUS CHRONICLES, SOCIALIZES MASK-FREE AT PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB

Chris Cuomo has taken his no-mask act on the town.  Spies spotted the CNN anchor hanging at a downtown private members club, hobnobbing without a mask and acting like he was the mayor of the joint.

“He was not social distancing and was walking around indoors, shaking hands and greeting people without a mask. He was just hanging with Brooke Shields’ husband. It’s a double standard when his brother [Gov. Andrew Cuomo] is attacking the restaurant industry and implementing all these senseless rules,” a source told Page Six.

Another source told us Chris was walking around “acting like he was mayor” when he wasn’t seated at his table.

Despite advocating for masks on his primetime show, Chris has not apparently been practicing what he preaches. MORE AT https://pagesix.com/2020/10/26/chris-cuomo-socializes-mask-free-at-private-members-club/

--TRIKOTINE WIRE MESH is back at BLUMCHEN, along with instructions to make the vintage inspired candy bags; this stuff is beautiful, has an incredible feel and weight....the instructions for making the candy bags are on page 2....In the late 1990's, at the famous Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany, we showed a piece of vintage mesh tubing to the owner of a family-owned 'Leonische draht' trimmings firm. He was kind enough to entertain our request to once again manufacture this wire mesh, and even purchased an original antique machine to produce it especially for us! Made in the same style and quality as Victorian-era knit wire net tubing, we are pleased to offer this authentic metallic "Trikotine Hohlschlauch".

.....In a message to parents and students, Croton-Harmon Superintendent Deborah O’Connell said the incident was a ransomware attack. This kind of data breach keeps an organization from accessing its data in order to solicit a ransom to get the data back.

REMEMBERING VINCENT PRICE

With Halloween around the corner, one of the Everything Croton Elves reminded us that Vincent Price died on this day in 1993. We also found a fabulous photo of him in the Flickr archives you might enjoy seeing; he was really quite handsome---CLICK HERE. 

Price started out in films as a character actor. He made his film debut in Service de Luxe (1938) and established himself in the film Laura (1944), opposite Gene Tierney...He played Joseph Smith in the movie Brigham Young (1940) and William Gibbs McAdoo in Wilson (1944) as well as Bernadette's prosecutor, Vital Dutour, in The Song of Bernadette (1943), and as a pretentious priest in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944).

His first venture into the horror genre, for which he later became best known, was in the Boris Karloff film Tower of London (1939). The following year Price portrayed the title character in The Invisible Man Returns (a role he reprised in a vocal cameo at the end of the horror-comedy spoof Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein released in 1948...READ MORE ABOUT PRICE HERE.
