On Saturday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married in a highly anticipated royal wedding that drew thousands of spectators to Windsor Castle. They exchanged their vows in a ceremony attended by everyone from Serena Williams to the Queen, and they shared a kiss at the entrance to St. George's Chapel. But as the newlyweds emerged following the service, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge waving seemed to steal the show. As she and the other bridesmaids and page boys stood on the steps outside the chapel, she waved enthusiastically to the crowd, and was greeted by thunderous cheers.
Princess Charlotte was one of Markle's six bridesmaids for the wedding, and her brother — Prince George of Cambridge — was one of the four page boys. Princess Charlotte wore a white dress with a white flower crown, a floral arrangement that was reportedly a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. As the ceremony concluded and Markel and Harry greeted thousands of well-wishers on the steps to the chapel, Princess Charlotte gave a charming wave that caught Twitter's attention.
Almost immediately, photos of Princess Charlotte waving to the crowd outside had the internet doing a collective "awww." The young royal clearly has no qualms about being herself.
Just look at her — she's a natural.
Some Twitter users noted that this was not the first time Princess Charlotte had stolen the show at a major event, while others simply were amused by Prince George's seemingly less enthusiastic reaction to the whole affair. Let's take a look at what else social media accounts had to say about Princess Charlotte.
The newly married couple weren't the only ones greeting the crowd outside St. George's Chapel. Princess Charlotte delivered a royal wave fit for a queen.
The wave that caught the most attention was the one that took place after the ceremony, but even before the wedding began, Princess Charlotte was already greeting well-wishers. As Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge ushered the bridesmaids into the chapel, Princess Charlotte was photographed as she turned around and waved to the crowd.
Are You Prince George Or Princess Charlotte?
Prince George may have been just as excited for the royal wedding as Princess Charlotte — after all, it's not the young royals' first time at a highly publicized wedding — but Twitter was quick to point out that he did not seem nearly as enthusiastic about waving to the crowd as Princess Charlotte was.
At just three years old, Princess Charlotte has already been a bridesmaid in two major weddings — the last one being that of her mother's sister, Pippa Middleton — so it's likely not surprising that she caught the world's attention on Saturday.
Princess Charlotte has apparently had the royal wave down for quite some time now, and is perfecting it with each passing year. Just last month, she famously waved to onlookers as she met her younger brother, Prince Louis, for the first time.
Before Princess Charlotte and her brother even made an appearance at the royal wedding, social media users were anticipating the adorable moments they would have.
Princess Charlotte has been waving to her adoring public since she was just a year old. She's attended numerous royal events with her parents, and joined them on royal tours — and she has commemorated many of these occasions with her royal wave.
Who better to send the newlyweds off on their royal carriage procession than Princess Charlotte?
Princess Charlotte's royal wave has become so iconic that it has become her signature move. This is fitting for Charlotte, whose great-grandmother — the Queen — has spent decades perfecting the royal wave at thousands of different engagements.
Princess Charlotte definitely embraced the opportunity to greet her public on Saturday, while Prince George remained more reserved — but they both still dutifully performed their respective roles as bridesmaid and page boy.
"Playing Us Like A Fiddle"
Princess Charlotte's waves appeared to have convinced a lot of people on social media to stick around and watch the royal wedding. It may have been Harry and Markle's day, but Charlotte definitely stole the show, if only temporarily.

Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she's come up with six directives to help her "Get a Life", and she's already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamourous family's mansion. The next items?
• Enjoy a drunken night out.
• Ride a motorcycle.
• Go camping.
• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.
• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.
• And… do something bad.
But it's not easy being bad, even when you've written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.
Redford 'Red' Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He's also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.
But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe's wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior.
It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey
Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father's dive bar… in Washington.
Piper hasn't even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won't last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can't do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She's determined to show her stepfather—and the hot, grumpy local—that she's more than a pretty face.
Except it's a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn't want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan—and this town full of memories—may have already caught her heart.
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases—a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice—with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan. The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan—from foreplay to more-than-missionary position…
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he's making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic..

He thinks he's defective. His family knows better—that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.
As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity arises to come to America and meet a potential husband, she can't turn it down, thinking this could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working…but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who's convinced he can never return her affection.
With Esme's time in the United States dwindling, Khai is forced to understand he's been wrong all along. And there's more than one way to love.

Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex.

One Last Stop by Casey McQusiton
From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks…
For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don't exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can't imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.
But then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train.
Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August's day when she needed it most. August's subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there's one big problem: Jane doesn't just look like an old school punk rocker. She's literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it's time to start believing in some things, after all.
Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

The Music of What Happens by Bill Konigsberg
Max: Chill. Sports. Video games. Gay and not a big deal, not to him, not to his mom, not to his buddies. And a secret: An encounter with an older kid that makes it hard to breathe, one that he doesn't want to think about, ever.
Jordan: The opposite of chill. Poetry. His "wives" and the Chandler Mall. Never been kissed and searching for Mr. Right, who probably won't like him anyway. And a secret: A spiraling out of control mother, and the knowledge that he's the only one who can keep the family from falling apart.
Throw in a rickety, 1980s-era food truck called Coq Au Vinny. Add in prickly pears, cloud eggs, and a murky idea of what's considered locally sourced and organic. Place it all in Mesa, Arizona, in June, where the temp regularly hits 114. And top it off with a touch of undeniable chemistry between utter opposites.
Over the course of one summer, two boys will have to face their biggest fears and decide what they're willing to risk — to get the thing they want the most.

One True Loves by Elise Bryant
Lenore Bennett has always been a force. A star artist and style icon at her high school, she's a master in the subtle art of not giving a . . . well, you know what. But now that graduation is here, she's a little less sure.
She's heading to NYU in the fall with a scarlet U (for "undeclared") written across her chest. Her parents always remind her that Black kids don't have the luxury of figuring it out as they go—they have to be 110 percent prepared. But it's a lot of pressure to be her ancestors' wildest dreams when Lenore's not even sure what her dreams are yet.
When her family embarks on a post-graduation Mediterranean cruise, her friend Tessa is sure Lenore's in for a whirlwind romance. But Lenore knows that doesn't happen in real life. At least not to girls like her.

But as they get to know each other during the picturesque stops across Europe, he may be able to help her find something else she's been looking for, even if she doesn't want to admit it to herself: love.

"Everything, Everything" by Nicola Yoon
My disease is as rare as it is famous. It's a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, but basically, I'm allergic to the world. I don't leave my house, have not left my house in fifteen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives. New next door neighbors. I look out the window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black—black t-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly. I want to learn everything about him, and I do. I learn that he is funny and fierce. I learn that his eyes are Atlantic Ocean-blue and that his vice is stealing silverware. I learn that when I talk to him, my whole world opens up, and I feel myself starting to change—starting to want things. To want out of my bubble. To want everything, everything the world has to offer. Maybe we can't predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It's almost certainly going to be a disaster.
"Five Feet Apart" by Rachael Lippincott
In this moving story two teens fall in love with just one minor complication—they can't get within five feet of each other without risking their lives.
Can you love someone you can never touch?
Stella Grant likes to be in control—even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions.
The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn't care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he'll turn eighteen and then he'll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals.
Will's exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn't feel like safety. It feels like punishment.
What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?
Check out the movie after this great read!
"Fat Chance, Charlie Vega" by Crystal Maldonado
Coming of age as a Fat brown girl in a white Connecticut suburb is hard.

Charlie wants a good relationship with her body, but it's hard, and her mom leaving a billion weight loss shakes on her dresser doesn't help.

So when Charlie starts a tentative relationship with cute classmate Brian, the first worthwhile guy to notice her, everything is perfect until she learns one thing–he asked Amelia out first. So is she his second choice or what? Does he even really see her? UGHHH. Everything is now officially a MESS.
A sensitive, funny, and painful coming-of-age story with a wry voice and tons of chisme, Fat Chance, Charlie Vega tackles our relationships to our parents, our bodies, our cultures, and ourselves.
A Phớ Love Story by Loan Le
Funny, smart romantic comedy, in which two Vietnamese-American teens fall in love and must navigate their newfound relationship amid their families' age-old feud about their competing, neighboring restaurants.
If Bao Nguyen had to describe himself, he'd say he was a rock. Steady and strong, but not particularly interesting. His grades are average, his social status unremarkable. He works at his parents' pho restaurant, and even there, he is his parents' fifth favorite employee. Not ideal.
If Linh Mai had to describe herself, she'd say she was a firecracker. Stable when unlit, but full of potential for joy and fire. She loves art and dreams pursuing a career in it. The only problem? Her parents rely on her in ways they're not willing to admit, including working practically full-time at her family's pho restaurant.
For years, the Mais and the Nguyens have been at odds, having owned competing, neighboring pho restaurants. Bao and Linh, who've avoided each other for most of their lives, both suspect that the feud stems from feelings much deeper than friendly competition.
But then a chance encounter brings Linh and Bao in the same vicinity despite their best efforts and sparks fly, leading them both to wonder what took so long for them to connect. But then, of course, they immediately remember.
Can Linh and Bao find love in the midst of feuding families and complicated histories?
Happily Ever Afters by Elisa Bryant
Sixteen-year-old Tessa Johnson has never felt like the protagonist in her own life. She's rarely seen herself reflected in the pages of the romance novels she loves.

When Tessa is accepted into the creative writing program of a prestigious art school, she's excited to finally let her stories shine. But when she goes to her first workshop, the words are just…gone. Fortunately, Caroline has a solution: Tessa just needs to find some inspiration in a real-life love story of her own. And she's ready with a list of romance novel-inspired steps to a happily ever after. Nico, the brooding artist who looks like he walked out of one of Tessa's stories, is cast as the perfect Prince Charming.
But as Tessa checks each item off Caroline's list, she gets further and further away from herself. She risks losing everything she cares about—including the surprising bond she develops with sweet Sam, who lives across the street. She's well on her way to having her own real-life love story, but is it the one she wants, after all?
Café Con Lychee by Emery Lee
Sometimes bitter rivalries can brew something sweet

Gabi Moreno is miserably stuck in the closet. Forced to play soccer to hide his love for dance and iced out by Theo, the only openly gay guy at school, Gabi's only reprieve is his parents' Puerto Rican bakery and his plans to take over after graduation.
But the town's new fusion café changes everything. Between the Mori's struggling shop and the Moreno's plan to sell their bakery in the face of the competition, both boys find their dreams in jeopardy. Then Theo has an idea—sell photo-worthy food covertly at school to offset their losses. When he sprains his wrist and Gabi gets roped in to help, they realize they need to work together to save their parents' shops but will the new feelings rising between them be enough to send their future plans up in smoke?
I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need…
Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she's spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and a puritanical administration at Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that's kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal's perfect progeny.
But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes.
On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she's not the only one Shara kissed. There's also Smith, Shara's longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara's bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara's trail of clues and find her. It'll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair-and-square.
Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe—probably not, but maybe—more to Shara, too.
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
"Bono met his wife in high school," Park says.
"So did Jerry Lee Lewis," Eleanor answers.
"I'm not kidding," he says.

"Wherefore art thou," Eleanor answers.
"You should be."

Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing, will be compromised.
With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met.

State awards WCRS £8m terrorism brief
By Marketing Week	 29 Jul 2004 12:00 am
The Government has appointed WCRS to the £8m advertising business for the Home Office's new campaign telling people how to cope with terrorist attacks. WCRS is a "standby" roster agency for the Government, appointed two years ago to create rapid turnaround campaigns when there is insufficient time to carry out a standard pitch.
Walsh Trott Chick Smith is also on the standby roster.
The Preparing for Emergencies campaign will talk about a 22-page information booklet, which will be delivered to every home in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The awareness campaign, to include television and radio, will alert viewers to the booklet which recommends stocking emergency supplies such as tinned food, bottled water, mobile phone and blankets.
A follow-up advertising campaign will be launched at the end of the month, giving details of where people can get their copy if has not arrived in the post.
In the same week as the launch of the Preparing for Emergencies campaign, EMAP's Zoo Weekly magazine has listed "chemical weapons" that can be created in a kitchen to "wipe out a small town". The Home Office has slammed the magazine and a spokeswoman for the department adds: "It is highly irresponsible on Zoo's part to run a piece such as this."

                            <input type="button" id="Login" value="Login" data-ng-click="login()" />

A: maybe you should return an object in your service, for example:
return {
   AuthenticateUser: function (User) {
       return $http.post("http://localhost:52098/HalifaxIISService.svc/AuthenticateUser", JSON.stringify(User));
   }
}

or check if your local auth api works well, may this will help.

A: The solution of your problem is just debugging the API response you received. You just need to check what the API response you get and show accordingly the error and success.
I tried with your local server API call and as expected it gives me the error and "Password Incorrect" message gets displayed.
For further digging in this issue, you need to provide API response.
I am attaching the screenshot for the above.

What happens when you bring together fishing gear technologists, recyclers, designers, artists and makers for a hands-on event about ghost gear? A lot of mess, a lively exchange of ideas and a good dose of creativity! The GGGI recently participated in the Circular Ocean 'Net Hack Challenge' in Reykjavik, Iceland, following on from the prototype in Farnham, UK, last year. The role of the GGGI was to set 'challenges' for a diverse range of creatives and engineers, as well as spread the word about how regional collaborations can support the global effort to solve the trans-boundary problem of ghost fishing gear.
The focus on Day 1 was establishing the context for fishing gear management in the Northern Arctic Periphery Region – an area characterised by fishing communities living in remote and often challenging environments. The day saw a range of stimulating presentations about potential re-uses for fishing gear in construction and innovative design, as well as providing a broad overview of the information gaps facing those trying to solve the issue of lost and discarded gear in these waters. Attendees spent the afternoon playing what's known as a 'Serious Game' – a concept developed by the EU policy lab to explore scenarios using green thinking and foresight planning. The game involved players taking on the role of fishermen, harbour masters and policymakers to explore how the circular economy and cross-sectoral collaboration can generate new approaches to dealing with fishing litter.
On Day 2 the Circular Ocean team brought everyone together at the Reykjavik School of Visual Arts to work practically on a series of challenges set by groups including GGGI participants World Animal Protection, Claire Potter Designs and the World Cetacean Alliance. World Animal Protection challenged the teams to come up with viable economic concepts for the re-use of lobster pots and traps, for small fragments of net and rope picked up on beach cleans and an innovative product that could connect the end-user with the issue of ghost gear.
With circular economy, co-design and innovative business models the name of the day, the groups set about disassembling nets and ropes and brainstorming ideas about ways to utilise this abundant material in a practical and profitable way. Concepts presented included lighting design, workshops for students to create dream catchers with smaller net pieces, garden furnishing, plant pots, mesh bags and a maker festival called the 'ghost harvest'. In a room full of colour and creativity – and some people who had never seen a fishing net before - the teams shared their experiences of working with the material and consulted the others about the viability of their proposals.
The outputs of the second Net Hack Challenge will be shared online in the hope of stimulating further innovation around reuse of fishing nets and ropes, as well as providing the groups with the opportunity to find collaborators for co-development of the concepts. For more information about the Circular Ocean project in the Northern Arctic Periphery Region and how to get involved in innovation around fishing gear, please visit the website.

Letter to the Editor: Postpartum psychosis and pre-eclamptic toxaemia: a reply

Pre-eclampsia and first-onset postpartum psychiatric episodes: a Danish population-based cohort study
Recent evidence suggests that postpartum psychiatric episodes may share similar etiological mechanisms with immune-related disorders. Pre-eclampsia is one of the most prevalent immune-related disorders of pregnancy. Multiple clinical features are shared between pre-eclampsia and postpartum psychiatric disorders, most prominently a strong link to first pregnancies. Therefore, we aimed to study if pre-eclampsia is a risk factor for first-onset postpartum psychiatric episodes.
We conducted a cohort study using the Danish population registry, with a total of 400 717 primiparous women with a singleton delivery between 1995 and 2011. First-lifetime childbirth was the main exposure variable and the outcome of interest was first-onset postpartum psychiatric episodes. The main outcome measures were monthly incidence rate ratios (IRRs), with the period 11–12 months after birth as the reference category. Adjustments were made for age, calendar period, reproductive history, and perinatal maternal health including somatic and obstetric co-morbidity.
Primiparous women were at particularly high risk of first-onset psychiatric episodes during the first month postpartum [IRR 2.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.53–3.40] and pre-eclampsia added to that risk (IRR 4.21, 95% CI 2.89–6.13). Having both pre-eclampsia and a somatic co-morbidity resulted in the highest risk of psychiatric episodes during the 3-month period after childbirth (IRR 4.81, 95% CI 2.72–8.50).
We confirmed an association between pre-eclampsia and postpartum psychiatric episodes. The possible explanations for this association, which are not mutually exclusive, include the psychological impact of a serious medical condition such as pre-eclampsia and the neurobiological impact of pre-eclampsia-related vascular pathology and inflammation.

A water main break this morning at the Rockville campus of Montgomery College has shuttered several buildings, and forced the cancellation of some classes today. The Counseling and Advising (CB), Music (MU), South Campus Instruction Building (SCIB), Parilla Performing Arts Center (PAC), and Art (ART) buildings are closed. All classes and activities in those buildings are canceled today, the college has announced.
Parking Lot 11 is also closed, which should make parking even more difficult in other lots later this morning.


I love the new beginning feeling that comes with the 1/1 date. I have made some sweeping resolutions; one of which is to get outside more: (starting tomorrow!) (I am nothing if not a procrastinator!) I am up for changes in five categories: Health, Wealth, Art, Life, and Permaculture. I think that about covers the essentials. I would have put in a spinning and/or a knitting goal, but they seem to be my default activities and don't need any encouraging.
This is the storm of yesterday; I didn't get a photo of today's; kind of looked the same. I would miss this season if I ever went south for the winter. Especially that cozy feeling of a 'snow day' with food in the house and no where one needs to go.
Mitzy has taken over the tree; I know she thinks we brought it in the house just for her. To her credit she has been a huge help at undecorating it, though I'm not yet ready to take it down.
The Fleece Artist sock yarn was part of a raffle prize from the fall Spin-Out. I wasn't able to go, but made a donation to the Heifer Society—and was delighted with the prize package that arrived yesterday—Thanks, Cara, and all your sponsors!
I have been spinning, this fuzzy fiber I carded a few months ago—is it the alpaca mixed with wool? Or the moorit locks from RHLindsay? Inquiring minds want to know, and I have forgotten. Lesson learned: always label!
Lastly, Sam, and girl friend Kath, dressed for a dinner out at Bizen's, everyone's favorite Japanese restaurant. I stayed home and made my own sushi!

More virtual interactions, and the rise of a metaverse
Connectivity's role in making everyday life manageable during Covid-19
Text: Mycronic
Photo: Mycronic
The pandemic is still on-going and significantly impacting how people live on a global scale. Social distancing has led people to conduct more of their lives online and a "new normal" is being created.
As a result, industries have adapted and improved their digital services, and the importance of the internet has become even more critical and in 2020 we saw a 51% increase in global network traffic.
The rise of Metaverse – virtual 3D spaces making displays indispensable
Part of this development is the rise and creation of a "Metaverse", that some say is the next version of the internet. Just recently Mark Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) announced that the social network is becoming 'a metaverse company', and also changed the name of the company to 'Meta'. The intention is to build a more maximalist, interconnected set of experiences spanning social presence, office work and entertainment.
The word Metaverse is made up of the prefix "meta" (meaning beyond) and the stem "verse" (a back-formation from "universe") describing the concept of a future iteration, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe, and has become one of the hot buzzwords in the tech world.
Now, how does this connect to Mycronic? In order to make a metaverse possible, there is one key component that is indispensable, Black Mirrors, in other words displays. People experience all these virtual spaces by interacting through displays. And all advanced displays are created with photomasks produced by our mask writers.
As a supplier of photomask pattern generators for displays, we are proud to contribute to keeping the pace of everyday life
The display market has soared during the Covid-19 age, and reached 124 billion USD in year 2020 (13.7% year-on-year) and is expected to reach 161 billion USD in 2021 (29.7%).
Displays are produced with lithography, a well-proven technology developed and fine-tuned over decades that requires photomasks. Each year Mycronic's pattern generators produce photomasks which generate;
Production of 3,600,000,000 displays
Covering an area of 34,000 football fields
To a value of 124,000,000,000 USD
As a supplier of photomask pattern generators for displays, we are proud to contribute to keeping the pace of everyday life during Covid-19 age, and we will continue to support the industry and keep people connected through tomorrow's electronics.

Press Release -- March 26th, 2021
Source: Verizon
Mandatory 10-digit dialing to begin April 3, 2021 in Pennsylvania area code 814
Media contact(s)
Heidi Flato
heidi.flato@verizon.com
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – All customers in the 814 area code should prepare for the start of mandatory 10-digit dialing and the introduction of the new 582 area code.
The 582 area code will be added as an overlay to the 814 region to ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers for the area. An overlay is the addition of another area code (582) to the same geographic region served by an existing area code (814). An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code, but does require customers to dial the area code to complete local calls.
Beginning April 3, 2021, all local calls made within the Pennsylvania 814 area code must be placed using 10-digits (area code + the 7-digit telephone number). On and after this date, calls placed using just 7 digits will not be completed.
Beginning May 1, 2021, new telephone lines or services may be assigned numbers using the new 582 area code.
The key facts for consumers to know about the upcoming 814/582 area code overlay are:
Your current telephone number, including current area code, will not change.
If you seek new phone service on and after May 1, 2021, you may be assigned a phone number with the 582 area code.
You will need to dial area code + telephone number for all local calls, including calls within the same area code.
You will continue to dial 1 + area code + telephone number for all long distance calls.
What is a local call now will remain a local call.
The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.
You can still dial just three digits to reach 911. You can also dial three digits to reach 211 and 811, as well as 311 and 511, where available.
Please remember to identify your telephone number as a 10-digit number and include the area code when giving the number to friends, family, business associates and customers, etc.
Customers should ensure all services, automatic dialing equipment, applications, software, or other types of equipment are reprogrammed to dial 10 digits if they are programmed to dial just 7 digits, and recognize the new 582 area code as a valid area code. Examples include life-safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, ankle monitors, speed dialers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions. Be sure to check your business stationery, advertising materials, personal checks, and your personal or pet ID tags to ensure the area code is included in your telephone number.
Important safety and security equipment, such as medical alert devices, and alarm and security systems must be programmed to use 10-digit dialing. Many systems operate on 10-digit dialing by default, but some older equipment may still use 7 digits. Please contact your medical alert or security provider if you are not sure whether your equipment needs to be reprogrammed to accommodate the upcoming change to 10-digit local dialing. Any needed reprogramming of alarm and home security equipment should be completed before April 2, 2021.
Remember that all local calls must be programmed using 10-digits, and add '1' for all long-distance calls.
For additional information, please visit the PA PUC website at http://www.puc.pa.gov or contact your local telephone service provider.

Honestly I'm not a huge history fan, while there are bits and pieces of it that I find interesting the majority of it just doesn't interest me, so it's not unusual for me to skip YA novels (or novels of any kind, really) that fall into the category of "historical fiction". The one exception is probably a fantasy novel that has historical pieces of it, but magic (or some paranormal element) is a must, because otherwise I usually just can't do it. So when I heard that Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows were writing a book together set back in the 1500's I was both excited and a little wary. I had read two of Cynthia Hand's novels and had followed all three authors since around the time they published their first novels, so I was pretty familiar with them and how much fun they were, but still, historical fiction. Along with that the book was compared to The Princess Bride, which is a movie I really love, so I decided to give the book a shot.
I'm happy I decided to do so. The synopsis was rather vague (as you can see from above) so I honestly wasn't sure what I was going to get out of it, but right away the "narrators" of the book amused me so much I ended up reading about 100 pages. The story itself is mostly told from the points of view of the King, Edward, Lady Jane Grey (of course), and Jane's husband, Gifford. As I said before I really don't know much about history (especially not English history from several centuries ago) but if the REAL Jane Grey was anything like the Jane Grey in the book I think she would have been an amazing person to know (which is probably why the three authors chose to write a book about her).
As a whole I was pretty pleased with the book, it was oddly humorous, especially considering it was about a girl who ended up being queen for 9 days before she actually had her head chopped off, but the addition of the magic to the story is what I think helped make that possible. And surprisingly the magic worked really well in the story. Like, I still kind of have to remind myself that the book itself isn't actually what went down, and that all of these characters died MUCH earlier in their lives than what happened in the novel. Jane was my favorite POV to read from (along with our trusty narrators), and even though it felt like the story really didn't start for well over 100 pages I didn't mind all that much because I wanted to keep reading regardless. I also found all of the literary references quite amusing despite the fact that I'm quite sure I didn't catch all of them.
The only real problem I had with the book was the fact that things seemed to work out exactly when they needed to. Now granted, I know that that's a rather dumb thing to find a problem with, seeing as it's, you know, fiction, but it was just a little TOO perfect, like, "of COURSE that's when that happened, because otherwise [inset bad thing that would happen here]." But then again like I said it's fiction and of course they had to get around the whole 'all of the main characters should have died at some point during the novel' so I guess I can't find THAT much fault in it. Also, I would have love more involvement from the narrators, but I supposed I can't fault the authors for not adding more of that in either, seeing as the book was about Edward, Jane, and the rest of them, as opposed to the narrators themselves.
In the end I was pleasantly surprised with how much I ended up enjoying this book. I would 100% recommend fans of the genre to check it out, but I would also just recommend it to people in general, because it's fun, and even though it takes place in the 1500's Jane (and all of the women in the book) are fierce and smart and independent, something that everyone could stand to see more of. Fans of The Princess Bride should also be sure to check it out. I'll for sure be on the lookout for whatever these three authors come up with next, mostly together, but separate as well.
So glad you enjoyed this one! I've been wanting to read it for a while now. :) As I do enjoy the occasional Historical Fiction, I will definitely pick up MLJ, given the chance!

Confronted with signing up with a desperately long NHS waiting list, Joe Rackham chose online counselling rather. "I simply felt that I could not wait any longer– I was inspired and prepared to handle my concerns and rather liked the idea of doing so in the comfort of my own home," stated the 29-year-old, who resides in London. After an online search, he found a therapist whose profile matched his requirements and scheduled a chat session for the next day.
The doctor app Babylon offers treatment to 150,000 active users, while PlusGuidance, an online counselling service, has 10,000 users. Talkspace, another online treatment platform, reports it has 500,000 signed up users worldwide, with the majority of in the United States.
Online training recommends therapists on whatever from using emojis to avoiding misinterpretations. They likewise need to safeguard patients' personal information– a problem that has triggered debate in the United States, where huge online therapy platforms have actually come under the spotlight.
Buckley stated patients need to inspect services' personal privacy policies prior to signing up. "Not all online counselling sites use professionally trained therapists or comply with an ethics policy, so ask your GP for a suggestion in the very first instance. Similar to all sort of services and assistance, what works for a single person might not work for someone else," he said.
Marc Bush, primary policy advisor at Young Minds, said that while online counselling services are valuable, "they shouldn't replace in person treatment with a skilled professional. If a young person is having a hard time, we would encourage them to speak with their GP in the very first instance, or to contact a recognized service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.".
For Rackham, who has generalised stress and anxiety disorder, online counselling wasn't the best fit. "I felt it was near difficult for the therapist to truly get a sense of the issues I was handling, as all they had to go from was my typed-out words. I think I realised after that online session how crucial interpersonal interaction was.

Instead, the app prides itself on having accredited therapists and psychological health specialists offered to help people through text, telephone call or video chat.

"I simply felt that I couldn't wait any longer– I was encouraged and ready to handle my problems and quite liked the idea of doing so in the comfort of my own house," said the 29-year-old, who resides in London. After an online search, he found a therapist whose profile fit his needs and reserved a chat session for the next day.
The physician app Babylon offers therapy to 150,000 active users, while PlusGuidance, an online counselling service, has 10,000 users. Talkspace, another online treatment platform, reports it has 500,000 signed up users worldwide, with most in the US.
Online training recommends therapists on whatever from using emojis to preventing misconceptions. They also require to safeguard patients' personal information– a concern that has caused controversy in the US, where huge online therapy platforms have come under the spotlight.
Buckley said patients ought to inspect services' personal privacy policies prior to registering. "Not all online counselling websites use professionally trained therapists or abide by a principles policy, so ask your GP for a suggestion in the first circumstances. As with all kinds of services and assistance, what works for someone may not work for somebody else," he stated.
Marc Bush, primary policy consultant at Young Minds, stated that while online counselling services are valuable, "they should not change face-to-face therapy with a qualified professional. If a young person is having a hard time, we would motivate them to speak with their GP in the first instance, or to get in touch with a recognized service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.".
For Rackham, who has generalised anxiety condition, online counselling wasn't the right fit. "I felt it was near difficult for the therapist to actually get a sense of the concerns I was dealing with, as all they needed to go from was my typed-out words. I believe I realised after that online session how crucial social interaction was.
" I'm a big fan of using innovation in all areas of my life as a service to daily issues. I have apps for everything, however when it comes to psychological health, you need to choose how innovation plays a role in your recovery extremely carefully.". Better Help How Long To Get Matched
Instead, the app prides itself on having actually accredited therapists and psychological health specialists readily available to assist individuals by means of text, call or video chat. That's what lots of YouTubers who have actually accepted sponsorships from the business frequently say in their own videos, where they speak on the tensions in their personal lives and feelings bordering on stress and anxiety or depression. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have actually Better Help How Long To Get Matched sponsors now.
A lot of these creators have discussed psychological health issues in the past, however as burnout becomes a larger subject within the community– and mainstream world– sponsorships involving BetterHelp have actually increased, despite the app not being exactly what the developers are touting.

The Molice Release Video For New Single 'Round Round Round'
Just ahead of their US Tour dates, Japanese Indie trio The Police have premiered the new video for their track "Round Round Round". The song leans into the band's Alt-Pop sensibilities, reminiscent of U2 with a gritty, grunge-y, Pixies-esque guitar sound. The band explained, "Round Round Round' was written in Tokyo, Japan, the song was recorded at GCR Audio recording studios in Buffalo, NY and the video footage was taken in the U.S. during our first short tour last year, so 'Round Round Round' is a song created all over our earth's atmosphere!"

In 1973: The Road to War, Israeli historian Yigal Kipnis delves deep into the Israeli and American archives and reveals the degree to which the war could have been avoided. Avoided, that is, if in the months preceding October 1973, Israel's then–Prime Minister Golda Meir, who was facing elections, had not been adamantly opposed to allowing the peace negotiations with Egypt to proceed and if U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, despite some misgivings, had not backed her up in that refusal. Contradicting conventional wisdom, Kipnis argues compellingly that it was Israeli political intransigence, not a failure of Israel's military intelligence, that set the stage for the 1973 war.
1973: The Road to War generated considerable attention—and more than a little shock—in Israel, when it was first published there in Hebrew in Fall 2012. Just World Books is pleased to make this groundbreaking work available in English at the 40th anniversary of the war. This edition includes a Foreword by William B. Quandt, who served on the staff of the U.S. National Security Council in the 1970s and is considered a preeminent authority on the 1973 war.
1973 The Road to War from gildenhorn institute on Vimeo.
Six Days Before the War, Whose Responsibility Is This?
This pathbreaking work replaces the conventional military paradigm that has dominated analyses of the 1973 Yom Kippur War with a political one which is already significantly altering the narrative of the war and its aftermath. Political blinkers—supplemented by arrogance, suspicion and secretiveness—may have been the key cause of the most traumatic event in Israeli history. The possibility that this war could have been averted if Israel's leaders had, forty years ago, agreed to pursue a diplomatic option is especially pertinent today, when mistaken preconceptions threaten to stymie the road to a just and lasting accord between Israel, the Palestinians and the Arab world. Kipnis's book is a must-read for anyone concerned with understanding past patterns of Israeli-Arab relations and with preventing their repetition today.
Dr. Kipnis documents and describes the decision-makers' fatal choice to ignore global and regional changes, which led Israel to an unnecessary war and the loss of many lives. This book is an essential lesson about the heavy price of political arrogance and strategic stagnation.
1973: The Road to War is a blockbuster for anyone concerned about the tragic slaughter which flowed from surprise attacks by Egypt and Syria on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year. Refuting long widespread public understanding of the war's origins as a colossal intelligence failure in both Tel Aviv and Washington, Yigal Kipnis produced this meticulously documented account of the pre-war diplomatic minuet between Cairo and Jerusalem, orchestrated and conducted by Henry Kissinger while Nixon retreated slowly toward his Watergate whirlpool.
Kipnis reveals how even the closest conceivable American-Israeli diplomatic collaboration could not dent Golda Meir's conviction that Israel would easily repulse any Egyptian attack, and that was preferable to any political concessions to Sadat's importuning or Kissinger's forebodings.
This book is important on many levels for historians and for policy makers. It is a demonstration of the limits of American influence on Israel's leaders, even when they enjoy maximum intimacy with the White House; a depressing look into the way Golda Meir held vital political/diplomatic information to a tiny circle, leaning entirely on Moshe Dayan and Yisrael Galili and excluding Yigal Allon, other key cabinet members, and her military and intelligence chiefs from her decision-making circle; confirmation that this bloodiest of Israel's wars of self-defense was, in the words of Bill Quandt's excellent introduction, an avoidable war; and as another example of how many years must elapse before historians can gain access to the secret documents needed to piece together the diplomatic prologue to war.
Kipnis's work is truly groundbreaking and an extraordinary achievement that, now finally available in English, merits a wide readership.
Yigal Kipnis knows the Yom Kippur War both as a pilot who flew helicopters in combat and, more importantly, as a scholar who dares once again to go into harm's way. He challenges the conventional wisdom of the past 40 years, which pinned most of the blame for Israel's failure to anticipate the coordinated Egyptian-Syrian invasion on intelligence and military officers. Kipnis makes a convincing case for holding the political echelon—Prime Minister Golda Meir, Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and a close circle of confidants—accountable for pushing Anwar Sadat into a desperate but limited military move aimed at unleashing a diplomatic process. Rather than realizing that by making the Nixon Administration wait until after elections in Israel to launch a peace offensive, Golda and Co. should expect war and be seriously prepared for it, they were vastly over-confident and complacent. They even kept to themselves, rather than share with their uniformed subordinates planning contingencies, secret undertakings between Washington and Jerusalem which tied Israel's hands regarding pre-emption. Kipnis flies nap-of-the-earth over this complex terrain. It's one hell of a ride for whoever is interested in how nations stumble into unnecessary wars, conduct secret diplomacy at the highest levels and watch their Civil-Military relations rip apart at the seams for an entire generation.
As one who fought in, studied, and published about the October 1973 War, I felt that nothing could surprise me any more about it. Yigal Kipnis has done that, however. While he confirmed some of my earlier assessments, he put others into question. His mining of the newly available documents made the road to October much more understandable. The 1973 War changed the Middle East, and Kipnis's book helps us understand that change.
A gripping read, taut with the tension inside Israel's inner circle of decision makers in the countdown to war in October 1973. Kipnis provides fascinating new details that have come to light as archives have opened up. Especially intriguing is the enigmatic role of Ashraf Marwan in the unfolding drama.
Yigal Kipnis' 1973: The Road to War is a revelatory account of the myopic diplomacy that caused an unnecessary war. Based on extensive research in the U.S. and Israeli archives, Kipnis shows how military overconfidence and erroneous political judgments led U.S. and Israeli leaders to dismiss Egypt's peace overtures and force Egypt's Anwar Sadat to launch a war he had tried to avoid. These same errors also led Israel's leaders to disregard the signs of imminent war in October 1973 and allowed Egypt to achieve near-complete strategic surprise. This gripping narrative will fascinate anyone interested in the history of U.S. Middle East policy or in the long and bitter struggle between Arabs and Israelis.

Q: Delphi and __uuidof I'm porting a C source code to Delphi and came to: memcpy(&FFileOperation,&__uuidof(IFileOperation), sizeof(GUID));.
What I have so far:
FFileOperation is a TGUID type.
CopyMemory (@FFileOperation, @iFileOperation, SizeOf (TGUID));
But I don't know how to use it properly.
What would be the alternative or similar command in Delphi? And what does it do?

A: You would use that when you needed to obtain the GUID of an interface. In your case you are looking for the GUID of IFileOperation.
In Delphi the compiler performs magic for you. Where you would need to use __uuidof in C++ you can simply pass the interface type itself, IFileOperation in this case. You can use an interface type in any context that expects a GUID and so long as that interface has a GUID defined, the compiler will do the rest for you.
So, in C++ you might write:
QueryInterface(__uuidof(IFileOperation), ...)

In Delphi you would write:
QueryInterface(IFileOperation, ...)

Just to show you how pervasive this magic is, I offer the following fun program:
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  SysUtils;

var
  GUID: TGUID;

begin
  GUID := IInterface;
  Writeln(GUIDToString(GUID));
  Readln;
end.

which produces this output:

{00000000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}

Looking at your update, you do not need to use CopyMemory. You can write that line of code like this:
FFileOperation := IFileOperation;

However, the variable naming is odd. The variable named FFileOperation really should be declared like this:
FIFileOperationGUID: TGUID;

But I doubt that you even need the variable at all. It looks like it only ever holds that GUID. That GUID is known at compile time. If you hold it anywhere, hold it in a constant. But do you need to hold it anywhere? Surely you can remove it and replace all uses with IFileOperation.

Penticton Fire Rescue crews responded to a mobile home fire Saturday evening on Valleyview Road.
Flames could be seen shooting high up into the night sky as fire ripped through a mobile home at 3316 Valleyview Road Saturday evening.
According to Capt. Blaine Dionne of Penticton Fire Rescue there was nobody inside the residence when firefighters arrived however they did find four people at the bottom of the driveway. The call came in just after 7 p.m.
"Two pumper trucks responded with the tender unit (carrying water), we do have a lack of water up there so that's why the tender went," said Dionne.
Initially six firefighters from both halls responded however an additional 24 men were dispatched to the scene because of the severity of the fire.
Firefighters were called back to the scene just after 1 a.m. to extinguish some hot spots and remained there for several hours. Because the home was not structurally sound members were unable to go inside.

"Wawapek" was the Queen Anne-style home of the de Forests, a family so deeply rooted in New York history it dates back 300 years to the days of the Huguenots.
BLOOMFIELD, N.J., UNITED STATES, July 13, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BLOOMFIELD, N.J. – Items from the estate home in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island known as "Wawapek" – the Queen Anne-style residence of the de Forests, a family so deeply rooted in New York history it dates back 300 years to the days of the early Huguenot settlers in Manhattan – will come up for bid in a two-day sale planned for July 25-26 by Nye & Company Auctioneers.
The auction will be held in Nye & Company's gallery, located at 20 Beach Street in Bloomfield. The full catalog is available for viewing now, at www.nyeandcompany.com, as well as on the internet bidding platforms LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. The Wednesday, July 25th session will have live and internet bidding. The Thursday, July 26th session will be internet only.
Many of the items in "Wawapek" – a stately Gilded Age mansion built in 1897 and occupied by the de Forest family up until this year – will be in the sale, to include yachting trophies, Native American pots and baskets, American glass, and European and Mexican pottery (some of which was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where Robert de Forest served as president).
Also from the de Forest estate will be numerous period furniture pieces (much of it New York in origin), steamer trunks (to include examples by Louis Vuitton, Goyard and others), and even a rare and simple pine box that Tiffany & Company used as a shipping crate that bears their label. An aside: the de Forests were close friends with Louis C. Tiffany and called him "Uncle Louis".
While the de Forest estate is the auction's undisputed headliner, it's not all that's in the sale. Also up for bid will be original calendar art by Howard Pyle (Am., 1853-1911), signed "H. Pyle" lower left and depicting a woman with a jug and ravens, plus 11 loose calendar pages, to include the page being sold; and a pair of seven-light blackamoor torcheres (stands for holding lamps).
Also being sold, for fans of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, are pieces of Baroque-style furniture that were previously in the wine room of the home of "Mighty Max" Weinberg (Am., b. 1951), the longtime drummer for the E Street band and bandleader for Conan O'Brien on both of O'Brien's late-night shows. The wine room is one of Weinberg's favorite places in the home.
Furniture pulled from "Wawapek" will feature a Wendell Castle black leather crescent rocker, a Queen Anne gumwood kasten made in the 18th century in New York (possibly Long Island), a circa 1815 Neoclassical mahoganized recamier (fainting couch) probably made in New York, and a Continental inlaid walnut music box on a stand, in working condition with extra cylinders.
Decorative accessories from "Wawapek" will include a copper spread wing eagle weathervane, an English late 18th century George III mahogany dual barometer/thermometer, a floral-decorated Delft garniture set attributed to Justus Brouwer (Dutch, active 1739-1775), and a pair of 19th or 20th century yellow-brown glazed European wine jugs, probably handcrafted in France.
Native American objects from the de Forest estate will feature a pair of fine Trios (or Zia) polychrome storage jars, an oval Pomo basket with shell decoration and a Southwest Indian coil basket, circa 1900, with geometric four-point stepped star design. Also sold will be a large size Gothic doll house, a Larchmont Yacht Club 1913 season picnic hamper and an oil on canvas portrait of Cornelius Van Tromp (1620-1691), with an illegible inscription and "Amsterdam".
The de Forest family's U.S. history can be traced to Jesse de Forest (1576-1624), the leader of a group of Walloon Huguenots who fled Europe and religious persecution. They emigrated to New York, where de Forest's plan was to found New-Belgium, so the group could peacefully practice their Reformed Protestant Christianity. He sought permission from the Dutch to establish a colony in what is now New York City and was granted permission in 1624. That year a group of sixty families of Walloons and Dutch Protestants settled in what they called New Amsterdam.
Fast forward to Robert W. De Forest (1848-1931), Jesse's descendant, who was general counsel for the Central Railroad from 1874-1924 and director of the New York & Long Branch railroad, All-America Cables and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. He was New York City's first Tenement House Commissioner and became the president of the newly formed National Housing Association of New York in 1910. De Forest was also president of the American Red Cross, the Russell Sage Foundation and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1913-1931). De Forest and his wife, the former Emily Johnston, built the American wing of the museum. Ms. Johnston was the daughter of the Met's first president and co-founder, John Taylor Johnston (1820-1893).
Start times both days will be 10 am Eastern. Phone and absentee bids will be accepted for day one of the auction. Previews will be held in the Bloomfield gallery Monday-Friday, July 16-20, from 10-4; Sunday, July 22nd, from noon-4 pm; and Monday-Thursday, July 23-26, from 10-4.

Ready the Catbus: My Neighbor Totoro is returning to theaters
Alex McLevy
Filed to:My Neighbor Totoro
Screenshot: YouTube
Studio Ghibli's My Neighbor Totoro was many Americans' first introduction to the work of Hayao Miyazaki back in the day, but it has since been frequently outshone in Western pop culture by his more outsized epics like Princess Mononoke. Happily, you can now remedy that, because Totoro is returning to theaters.
In honor of its 30th anniversary, the whisper-slight but deeply moving tale of a couple of sisters moving with their father to an old country house to be closer to their hospitalized mother—and encountering a delightful woodland spirit in the process—is being re-released theatrically for three days only. On September 30, October 1, and October 3, you'll have the opportunity to see the gentle familial fantasy on the big screen thanks to Fathom Events and GKIDS, as part of their Studio Ghibli Fest 2018 celebration. Purists a little bummed out at the idea of viewing the Disney dubbed version—with Dakota and Elle Fanning voicing the sisters Satsuki and Mei (bonus points for life siblings imitating art siblings, though) and Tim Daly as the father Tatsuo—will be relieved to hear the subtitled version is also an option. A complete list of theaters screening the film—more than 700 of them— is available at the Fathom Events website. No word on whether the company will also be providing rides to the screenings on a magical flying top.
Not everything is bad: A My Neighbor Totoro theme park is coming to Japan
It's 3 p.m., so let's watch Hayao Miyazaki rip some poor A.I. nerds apart for creating "an insult to life itself"

Rock star opulence came to an explosive head in 1973 when Alice Cooper and company hit #1 on the U.S. and worldwide charts with Billion Dollar Babies, their sixth and most successful album. Produced by Bob Ezrin, it is also one of the best rock n roll records of all time, and the subsequent tour became their biggest rock production to date. Capitalizing on the albums themes of good-old decadence and horror, the show climaxed with a guillotine execution of Alice. The album and the tour catapulted the band into the worlds preeminent pied pipers of teenage trash culture.
With Billion Dollar Babies, Alice Cooper refined the raw grit of their earlier work in favor of a slightly more polished sound (courtesy of super-producer Bob Ezrin), resulting in a mega-hit album that reached the top of the U.S. album charts. Song for song, Billion Dollar Babies is probably the original Alice Cooper group's finest and strongest. Such tracks as "Hello Hooray," the lethal stomp of the title track, the defiant "Elected" (a rewrite of an earlier song, "Reflected"), and the poison-laced pop candy of "No More Mr. Nice Guy" remain among Cooper's greatest achievements. Also included are a pair of perennial concert standards – the disturbing necrophilia ditty "I Love the Dead" and the chilling macabre of "Sick Things" – as well as such strong, lesser-known selections as "Raped and Freezin'," "Unfinished Sweet," and perhaps Cooper's most overlooked gem, "Generation Landslide." Nothing seemed like it could stop this great hard rock band from overtaking the universe, but tensions between the members behind the scenes would force the stellar original AC band to split up after just one more album. Not only is Billion Dollar Babies one of Cooper's very best; it remains one of rock's all-time, quintessential classics.
