1939, Edward Hopper painted a picture of the house known as “Pretty Penny” for his neighbor, Helen Hayes.
To raise money to save Hopper’s birthplace, the Edward Hopper Preservation Foundation produced this stationery in 1985, noting that the house is the Nyack, NY home of the famous actress.

The original oil on canvas, 29 x 40 inches, is owned by Smith College Museum of Art, Northampton, MA.

PRETTY PENNY
– 235 N BROADWAY
This 1850s Italianate style house was the home of the “First Lady of American Theatre” Helen Hays and her husband, playwright and screen-writer Charles MacArthur. They named the house Pretty Penny because, as they said, ‘that’s what it cost.’ Painted in 1939, it was the only commission Hopper accepted and he did so begrudgingly. Over the years, famous people have owned the home and more have been entertained here, among them Laurence Olivier, F Scott Fitzgerald, Katherine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Marilyn Monroe, Ed Sullivan, Rosie O’Donnell, Russel Crowe, and Madonna.

Alzheimer’s may be caused by haywire immune system eating brain connections

January 28, 2020

QT:{{”
“Stevens has spent much of her career studying a normal immune mechanism that prunes weak or unnecessary synapses as the brain matures from the womb through adolescence, allowing more important connections to become stronger. In this process, a protein called C1q sets off a series of chemical reactions that ultimately mark a synapse for destruction. After a synapse has been “tagged,” immune cells called microglia—the brain’s trash disposal service—know to “eat” it, Stevens says. When this system goes awry during the brain’s
development, whether in the womb or later during childhood and into the teen years, it may lead to psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, she says.”

““From time to time, snippets of audio do go back to [other apps like Facebook’s] servers but there’s no official understanding what the triggers for that are,” explains Peter. “Whether it’s timing or location-based or usage of certain functions, [apps] are certainly pulling those microphone permissions and using those periodically. All the internals of the applications send this data in encrypted form, so it’s very difficult to define the exact trigger.””
