DEDICATION THE 10 YEAR CHALLENGE 1. IN YOUR OPINION WHAT WAS THE BESTTHING THAT HAPPENED TO FOXBOROUGH IN THE LAST 10 YEARS? JA: With amajor assist from Schneider Electric, the conservation areaonthe former Lane Property adjacent to Crack Rock Pond on North Street was refurbished, the dam repaired andthe barn rebuilt as a Learning and Nature Area. The nature trails were refurbished and apleasant visitation areacreated overlookingthe pond. Round picnic tables accommodate the most mature nature lovers. BG: Iwould probably say getting the Patriots and the Kraft family involved with the townand its residents. Also, the introduction of the mass transit system at Gillette Stadium. HH: The best thing in the last 10 years was the development of Patriot Place bringing muchneeded revenue and aplace to shop and dine locally. TB: The continued growth and development at Patriot Place, particularly the addition of the Brigham and Women’s Healthcare facility, have been positive additions to the town. And of course, the three additional Superbowl Trophies thePatriots brought hometoFoxborough in the last decade. TM: The investment in upgrading, expanding and maintainingour public buildings. The ongoing process is key to astrong community. LC: Foxborough has had so many upgrades to the town that have made it moreand more impressive. Between the new Public Safety Building and Town Hall to the revamping of the Orpheum Theater and upgrades to the Booth Playground, there is so much about this town to be proud of. 2. WHAT WAS THEGREATEST CHALLENGEWEHAVE OVERCOME IN FOXBOROUGH IN THELAST10YEARS? TM: The divisive proposal to build acasino in the town. Thereseemed to be no middleground or compromise. JA: With the certaintythat Casinos would be major developments throughout the states, many advised the Kraft Groupthat they should be “zoning ready” andable to move quickly if aproposalwas made for Foxborough. Chairman Bob Kraft said he would take the question to the people first, and if they indicated disapproval, he would proceed no further. It became obvious he would be unable to gain afair hearing. He accepted that as arejection by the people and kept his word. The Casino proposal was dead upon arrival. TB: The casino debate in 2011/2012 and the lengthy power outages caused by Hurricane Irene (August 2011) and theOctober ice storm of 2011 were the two greatest challenges our community faced the past decade. As Iwrite this, though, we are facing aglobal pandemic and the townisinaState of Emergency due to the novel coronavirus. The challenges of the past decade, whiledifficult at the time, seem mild compared to the current public health crisis and economic and societal upheaval. LC: The bulk of the lastten years of my life were spent attending Foxborough Public Schools. When Iwas in school, there were anumber of large snow storms that

  • Grounds, Boyd and the Philip House
    4. Form Follows Formula: Grounds, Boyd and the Philip House Figure 4.1 Philip House, view from north-east Photograph: Ben Wrigley, 2011 John Philip was brought to Canberra as part of Frankel’s ambitious postwar recruitment program, and was appointed head of a new agricultural physics group at the CSIRO. Regarded as Australia’s leading environmental physicist, he was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1967. His wife, Frances (‘Fay’), was an accomplished artist who was related to the Boyds via the Mills and à Becketts, and had attended the Murrumbeena State School in Victoria with Mary and Arthur Boyd. Many of Frances’s portraits of Australia’s leading scientists and academics—including Sir Mark Oliphant, Doug Waterhouse, John Jaeger, William Rogers, Patrick Moran and Manning Clark—are held in the collections of the Australian Academy of Science and The Australian National University. The Philip House, at 42 Vasey Crescent, Campbell, is one of three adjacent houses by Grounds, Romberg and Boyd that are known collectively as the Vasey Crescent Group. The other two houses in the group are the Blakers House and the Griffing House. Grounds and Boyd were both involved with these houses. All three were designed by Grounds, who arranged initial briefings, recorded 101 Experiments in Modern Living the clients’ requirements and prepared sketches from late 1959 through to early 1960. Boyd met with the clients in January 1960, and took control of the houses from May of that year as Grounds prepared for a three-month overseas trip.1 The Philip House is important for two reasons.

    US boy whose premature aging inspired film dies 13 January 2014 A teenager whose battle with a rare genetic Berns was asked to name his favorite player. He condition that accelerates the aging process didn't have one. It takes a team to succeed, he became the subject of an HBO documentary has said. died. Sam Berns was 17. © 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Berns, of Foxborough, Massachusetts, died Friday after complications from Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, commonly known as progeria. The Progeria Research Foundation, which was founded by his parents, announced his death. Berns was diagnosed with progeria when he was 22 months old. His parents founded the nonprofit foundation after encountering a lack of information and research on the condition, whose victims live an average of 13 years. The work by his parents, Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns, who are doctors, on behalf of progeria patients is featured in the documentary "Life According to Sam." The exposure has brought greater recognition to the condition, which causes musculoskeletal degeneration, cardiovascular problems and other symptoms associated with aging. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft mourned Berns' death, saying he had invited the teen to be the football team's honorary captain for Saturday night's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts and was looking forward to spending time with him and his family. "I loved Sam Berns and am richer for having known him," Kraft said in a statement Saturday. Kraft, after being introduced to Berns and attending the HBO premiere of the documentary in New York in October, made a $500,000 matching pledge to the foundation.

  • The Relation Between Cesarean Birth and Child Cognitive Development Received: 10 March 2017 Cain Polidano1, Anna Zhu1 & Joel C
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The relation between cesarean birth and child cognitive development Received: 10 March 2017 Cain Polidano1, Anna Zhu1 & Joel C. Bornstein 2 Accepted: 16 August 2017 This is the frst detailed study of the relation between cesarean birth and child cognitive development. Published: xx xx xxxx We measure diferences in child cognitive performance at 4 to 9 years of age between cesarean-born and vaginally-born children (n = 3,666) participating in the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). LSAC is a nationally representative birth cohort surveyed biennially. Using multivariate regression, we control for a large range of confounders related to perinatal risk factors and the socio- economic advantage associated with cesarean-born children. Across several measures, we fnd that cesarean-born children perform signifcantly below vaginally-born children, by up to a tenth of a standard deviation in national numeracy test scores at age 8–9. Estimates from a low-risk sub-sample and lower-bound analysis suggest that the relation is not spuriously related to unobserved confounding. Lower rates of breastfeeding and adverse child and maternal health outcomes that are associated with cesarean birth are found to explain less than a third of the cognitive gap, which points to the importance of other mechanisms such as disturbed gut microbiota. The fndings underline the need for a precautionary approach in responding to requests for a planned cesarean when there are no apparent elevated risks from vaginal birth. Cesarean sections can save lives, but rates well above the World Health Organization’s recommended 15% ceiling in most developed countries suggest that many procedures are unnecessary1.
