The vision of LifeVac came from a story that Arthur Lih, founder and CEO of LifeVac, heard of a woman in a hospital weeping following the death of her young son. The reason for his death was that a grape had become lodged in his windpipe and the Heimlich Maneuver did not work. Once he heard the story he set out to invent an apparatus that could clear an airway. Arthur, Dr. Brody, and a few close friends set out to bring LifeVac to the public by establishing a research and development facility located in Springfield Gardens, NY where we are producing the upper airway clearing device in order to bring the safest, simplest method to save an aspirating person. Our goal is to save as many lives as possible throughout the world.

The vision of LifeVac came from a story that Arthur Lih, founder and CEO of LifeVac, heard of a woman in a hospital weeping following the death of her young son. The reason for his death was that a grape had become lodged in his windpipe and the Heimlich Maneuver did not work. Once he heard the story he set out to invent an apparatus that could clear an airway. Arthur, Dr. Brody, and a few close friends set out to bring LifeVac to the public by establishing a research and development facility located in Springfield Gardens, NY where we are producing the upper airway clearing device in order to bring the safest, simplest method to save an aspirating person. Our goal is to save as many lives as possible throughout the world.

Sliwa describes himself as a Republican candidate ''running for mayor of New York City to finally end the disastrous reign of de Blasio-Cuomo''. In the late 1970s, he founded the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit volunteer organization that began its anti-crime activities by patrolling the subways. Today, the group has chapters in 13 countries and over 100 cities, according to its website. Safety and refunding the police are central to the campaign of Sliwa, a radio host who still wears the Angels’ trademark red beret. He proposes adding 4,500 uniformed and 500 undercover officers to patrol the subways. He also calls for restoring "all budget cuts" to the NYPD and giving the department more money to combat gun violence. Sliwa is part of the Republican wing that does not support former President Donald Trump. In the first debate of the GOP candidates, he said he had never voted for Trump. The 67-year-old current Manhattan resident got involved in community work at an early age. At 14, he became known as a "neighborhood garbage collector" when he opened a recycling center in Brooklyn.

Jeffrey Lichtman has successfully handled criminal trials and appeals on some of the country’s largest stages and recently described by the media as a ''legendary New York criminal defense attorney''. His clients include those charged in the federal and state systems with white collar and non-white collar offenses. For over 30 years, Mr. Lichtman’s practice style has been marked by exhaustive pretrial preparation and smothering pressure inside the courtroom. His cross-examinations, in fact, have been described in the media during the John Gotti, Jr. trial as a “relentless pounding” in which witnesses were “put through the blender and shredded.” The Gotti trial ended with the dismissal of three murder conspiracy charges, an acquittal on a $25 million securities fraud charge, and a deadlocked jury on every remaining count. The media described the verdict as an “unbelievable courtroom upset” and Mr. Lichtman’s work as “brilliant.” In the recent high-profile Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman trial lasting 3 1/2 months, Mr. Lichtman’s work was described by the media as “an astonishing performance” and “so wildly entertaining.”
Some of Mr. Lichtman’s recent clients also include Assistant USC basketball coach Tony Bland, Emma Coronel, rappers Fat Joe and The Game, the alleged Boss of the Colombo Family Andrew Russo, Olympians, judges, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and countless others.
Mr. Lichtman’s appellate practice has also had great success, winning freedom for clients sentenced to lengthy prison terms. In September of 2010, he won the freedom for a client who had been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault of four victims. After his appeal to the NJ Appellate Division forced the trial court to grant a hearing on trial counsel’s possible ineffectiveness, Mr. Lichtman’s scathing examination of trial counsel was halted by the judge – who indicated she was prepared to vacate the conviction on the spot – and the client was released, never to return to prison again.
A 1990 graduate of Duke University School of Law, Mr. Lichtman’s office has begun representing individuals on Civil Rights/police misconduct issues as well as on sexual harassment and discrimination claims — and in just a short time, Mr. Lichtman has garnered multiple millions of dollars of settlements for women sexually harassed in the workplace, and was selected as a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
Mr. Lichtman has recently been profiled in New York Magazine, the New York Daily News, and in The New York Times as part of the “Public Lives” series. Mr. Lichtman can also be heard as a guest host on 710 WOR Radio and other media outlets. Mr. Lichtman’s office website is JeffreyLichtman.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ron Ananian knows his craft and for over 25 years, motorists have received quality, honest work with a smile at Ron’s repair facility, R\A Automotive. ''We fix everything but a broken heart,'' says Ron. Based in Waldwick, New Jersey, this family-owned professional service business has been named the best in the country by CARQUEST Corporation and the New Jersey Automotive Mechanical Shop of the Year. Growing up, Ron learned some valuable lessons from his father, a mechanic who serviced President Franklin Roosevelt’s DC-3 aircraft during World War II. He got the repair bug helping his father tune up the family car in time for an annual vacation. ''He taught me to respect tools and machines. My dad, who worked as the lead mechanic for American Airlines at LaGuardia Airport, would say, ‘There is a place for everything and everything in its place. Think your way through the problem, use your head, be precise, select the right tool for the job and you’ll find your way'', explains Ron, who got hands-on experience as a teenager taking apart and repairing anything mechanical from lawnmowers, motorcycles, and cars to even a washing machine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Scott Wiener born in suburban New Jersey, has no Italian blood. His ancestry is Jewish Russian and Polish. Yet from an early age pizza became Scott’s favorite food, and now for the past eleven years, since April 27, 2008 to be exact, this Neapolitan specialty has become not only the center of his diet, but the subject of his livelihood. Scott’s pizza tours consist of four walking tours in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn: Williamsburg and Downtown. Each of them visits three pizzerias. He also offers and guides himself a Sunday bus tour, which covers Manhattan and another borough by rotation and visits four pizzerias, which he chooses on the spur of the moment out of the 58 pizzerias he recommends around town. His Manhattan walking tours and the Sunday bus tour usually start at “Lombardi’s” on Spring Street in Soho. Founded in 1898 and taken over in 1908 by Gennaro Lombardi from Naples, it’s one of the oldest pizzerias in New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jeffrey Lichtman has successfully handled criminal trials and appeals on some of the country’s largest stages and recently described by the media as a ''legendary New York criminal defense attorney''. His clients include those charged in the federal and state systems with white collar and non-white collar offenses. For over 30 years, Mr. Lichtman’s practice style has been marked by exhaustive pretrial preparation and smothering pressure inside the courtroom. His cross-examinations, in fact, have been described in the media during the John Gotti, Jr. trial as a “relentless pounding” in which witnesses were “put through the blender and shredded.” The Gotti trial ended with the dismissal of three murder conspiracy charges, an acquittal on a $25 million securities fraud charge, and a deadlocked jury on every remaining count. The media described the verdict as an “unbelievable courtroom upset” and Mr. Lichtman’s work as “brilliant.” In the recent high-profile Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman trial lasting 3 1/2 months, Mr. Lichtman’s work was described by the media as “an astonishing performance” and “so wildly entertaining.”
Some of Mr. Lichtman’s recent clients also include Assistant USC basketball coach Tony Bland, Emma Coronel, rappers Fat Joe and The Game, the alleged Boss of the Colombo Family Andrew Russo, Olympians, judges, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and countless others.
Mr. Lichtman’s appellate practice has also had great success, winning freedom for clients sentenced to lengthy prison terms. In September of 2010, he won the freedom for a client who had been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for multiple counts of sexual assault of four victims. After his appeal to the NJ Appellate Division forced the trial court to grant a hearing on trial counsel’s possible ineffectiveness, Mr. Lichtman’s scathing examination of trial counsel was halted by the judge – who indicated she was prepared to vacate the conviction on the spot – and the client was released, never to return to prison again.
A 1990 graduate of Duke University School of Law, Mr. Lichtman’s office has begun representing individuals on Civil Rights/police misconduct issues as well as on sexual harassment and discrimination claims — and in just a short time, Mr. Lichtman has garnered multiple millions of dollars of settlements for women sexually harassed in the workplace, and was selected as a member of the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
Mr. Lichtman has recently been profiled in New York Magazine, the New York Daily News, and in The New York Times as part of the “Public Lives” series. Mr. Lichtman can also be heard as a guest host on 710 WOR Radio and other media outlets. Mr. Lichtman’s office website is JeffreyLichtman.com.

Bruce Blakeman was elected Nassau County Executive on November 2, 2021. Since taking office, his top priority has been protecting taxpayers and ensuring fiscal responsibility. He fulfilled his promise to eliminate $150 million in planned tax hikes from the previous administration and implemented financial policies that have earned Nassau County multiple credit rating upgrades from Wall Street. These upgrades save taxpayers money every time the County has issued bonds for the many road repaving, park improvement, and other infrastructure projects undertaken on Blakeman’s watch. Blakeman has taken a firm stance on public safety. With cashless bail laws and the national border crisis impacting Nassau County, he has sworn in hundreds of new law enforcement officers, increased police funding, and broken ground on a state-of-the-art police training village—all without raising taxes. He also launched Operation Overwatch, a roving police patrol unit designed to deter crime and ensure rapid response. As a result, Nassau County has seen improved response times and increased police presence. While crime has surged in New York City, major crime in Nassau has declined, helping make Nassau the safest county in America, according to U.S. News & World Report.As County Executive, Blakeman has taken decisive action against progressive policies he believes are harmful to Nassau residents. He signed an executive order ensuring Nassau will never become a sanctuary county. To combat South American gangs, crime rings, and migrants with criminal records who are wanted for crimes against residents, Blakeman has ordered the Nassau County Police Department to work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest and deport these thugs.Mr. Blakeman continues to advocate for Nassau’s fair share of state funding, as reports indicate Long Island sends $14 billion more in taxpayer dollars to Albany than it receives in return. Most disturbingly, in recent years Nassau County school districts have faced the threat of State aid cuts and regionalization efforts while State lawmakers earmarked billions of taxpayer dollars for housing and legal aid services for migrants entering the nation illegally. County Executive Bruce Blakeman is no stranger to the fight for parental rights in education. He signed New York State’s first executive order to restore the rights of parents to send their children to school without masks. A champion for the rights of women and girls to compete in sporting events in female leagues without biological males bullying their way onto those teams, Bruce Blakeman signed the nation’s first executive order to protect women’s sports. In response to rising antisemitism, Blakeman organized the region’s largest pro-Israel rally, bringing over 6,000 people together to stand against terrorism. He also established a bipartisan Task Force to Combat Antisemitism on Long Island and, in 2024, signed the nation’s first law banning face masks in public spaces when used to conceal identities during hate-filled, violent protests. Blakeman has prioritized tackling the opioid epidemic by investing millions in prevention, education, enforcement, and recovery programs, making Nassau County a leader in the fight against addiction.Before serving as County Executive, Blakeman was a Hempstead Town Councilman from 2015 to 2021, where he consistently voted to cut property taxes and supported fiscally responsible budgets that earned the Town of Hempstead one of the highest credit ratings on Wall Street. He also championed ethics reforms, creating the Town’s first-ever Compliance Officer and appointing a former federal prosecutor as Town Attorney. As part of his commitment to fighting antisemitism, he passed landmark legislation ensuring the town does not do business with entities that boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel.Blakeman’s public service extends beyond elected office. He was appointed Commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in the aftermath of 9/11, where he worked to enhance security at airports, bridges, tunnels, and other critical infrastructure. He has also served as Executive Director of the New York Police Chiefs Benevolent Association, a board member for Crime Stoppers and the New York COPS Foundation, and Deputy Counsel to the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation. Throughout his career, he has remained a staunch supporter of law enforcement and public safety initiatives. During his tenure as Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature, Blakeman reduced excessive government spending by $40 million and cut salaries for political appointees, even within his own party. He also prioritized preserving open space, revitalizing downtown business districts, and establishing Hewlett House, a life-saving breast cancer resource center. Beyond his government service, Blakeman is an attorney admitted to practice in federal and state courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. He earned his law degree from California Western School of Law and his undergraduate degree from Arizona State University. Born Oceanside, NJ, raised in Valley Stream.
Ron Ananian knows his craft and for over 25 years, motorists have received quality, honest work with a smile at Ron’s repair facility, R\A Automotive. ''We fix everything but a broken heart,'' says Ron. Based in Waldwick, New Jersey, this family-owned professional service business has been named the best in the country by CARQUEST Corporation and the New Jersey Automotive Mechanical Shop of the Year. Growing up, Ron learned some valuable lessons from his father, a mechanic who serviced President Franklin Roosevelt’s DC-3 aircraft during World War II. He got the repair bug helping his father tune up the family car in time for an annual vacation. ''He taught me to respect tools and machines. My dad, who worked as the lead mechanic for American Airlines at LaGuardia Airport, would say, ‘There is a place for everything and everything in its place. Think your way through the problem, use your head, be precise, select the right tool for the job and you’ll find your way'', explains Ron, who got hands-on experience as a teenager taking apart and repairing anything mechanical from lawnmowers, motorcycles, and cars to even a washing machine.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis is serving her third term representing New York’s 11th Congressional District which encompasses Staten Island and parts of Southern Brooklyn. Malliotakis is a member of the House Committee on Ways and Means and throughout her tenure she has been focused on making America’s cities safe again, securing the southern border, tackling inflation to strengthen our economy and unleashing America’s energy potential.Malliotakis’ office has resolved over 21,000 constituent cases, helped 193 immigrants become United States citizens, and delivered over $220 million to the district including federal funding for the NYPD, U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York, local sewer projects, several area hospitals, and the St. George Theatre. Malliotakis delivered on her promise to secure New York’s fair share of federal mass transit funding as a previous member of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure with her vote for the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Over $100 million has already been committed to NY-11 from the IIJA for various projects including the rehabilitation of bridges over the Staten Island Expressway, Gowanus Expressway, and dredging in Arthur Kill Terminal. Malliotakis also worked to get the Staten Island Seawall Project back on track after costly redesign requests made by the city caused years of delays and has ensured the federal share of the project will be fully funded to completion alleviating the financial burden on the city and state. As a previous member of the House Committee of Foreign Affairs, Malliotakis has been a strong voice for American values overseas, reducing our reliance on China and against the spread of communism in Central and South America. She has stood up for our allies, such as Greece, Cyprus, and Israel against neighboring authoritarian regimes. Malliotakis successfully inserted language into the National Defense Authorization Act requiring more transparency regarding Iran’s nefarious activities on U.S. soil and helped pass a bipartisan amendment establishing congressional oversight on any sale of F-16 fighter jets and military equipment to Turkey. Prior to Congress, Malliotakis spent five terms in the New York State Assembly where she fought to restore ethics in Albany, expand transit service in her district, improve programs for senior citizens, reform education, better New York’s economic climate and help her community rebuild after Hurricane Sandy.

Sliwa describes himself as a Republican candidate ''running for mayor of New York City to finally end the disastrous reign of de Blasio-Cuomo''. In the late 1970s, he founded the Guardian Angels, a nonprofit volunteer organization that began its anti-crime activities by patrolling the subways. Today, the group has chapters in 13 countries and over 100 cities, according to its website. Safety and refunding the police are central to the campaign of Sliwa, a radio host who still wears the Angels’ trademark red beret. He proposes adding 4,500 uniformed and 500 undercover officers to patrol the subways. He also calls for restoring "all budget cuts" to the NYPD and giving the department more money to combat gun violence. Sliwa is part of the Republican wing that does not support former President Donald Trump. In the first debate of the GOP candidates, he said he had never voted for Trump. The 67-year-old current Manhattan resident got involved in community work at an early age. At 14, he became known as a "neighborhood garbage collector" when he opened a recycling center in Brooklyn.

Father Anonymous tells the story of America’s forgotten founder Dr. Joseph Warren and his more famous friends, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere. Opening on the day of the Boston Massacre (1770), it closes with Joseph’s martyrdom at Bunker Hill (1775). With some laughs and tears and lots of good history, Father Anonymous dramatically rescues from obscurity America’s Forgotten Founder and the principles for which he stood – and fell. Although John Hancock’s signature has stood the test of time, for almost a century Paul Revere languished, mostly forgotten, until Longfellow’s poem brought his midnight ride to the forefront of American consciousness. Sam Adams brew is on the lips of the People across America. George Washington, of course, has always been the Great American Icon, while his deputy, Alexander Hamilton, now gets celebrated center stage eight times a week. On this 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, it’s about time to restore our Nation’s martyred Founder, Dr. Joseph Warren, who sent Paul on his famous ride and for two months commanded America’s armed struggle – until he died at Bunker Hill and Washington replaced him.

As investment advisor and custodian for the City’s public pension funds, Comptroller Lander stewards the retirement security of over 750,000 current and retired public sector workers, with a prudent, diversified, long-term approach to the City’s investments and obligations.
