![]() Most of the material came from Beacon Hill, whose elevation is currently 60 feet lower than it was before Boston began tearing down its hills to make new land. Permission was granted, and in 1807 the filling-in began. Bostonians, including local doctors, feared that the stench from Mill Pond would make them sick. At the time, the miasmatic theory of disease-the idea that illness was caused by foul, pestilent odors-had made its way to Boston from England, and undoubtedly influenced the decision to fill in the pond. It’s unclear whether letting the filth build up was part of their plan, but the new owners soon began lobbying the city to let them fill in the pond and sell off the land.Ĭreating more taxable land was appealing, but public-health concerns were also a major issue. Consequently, sewage, garbage, and the rotting corpses of discarded animals began to accumulate along the shore. The new mill owners closed the floodgates on the west end of the dam, which reduced flow along the banks of Mill Pond. But they were never very productive, and the whole operation was sold off to another group by the end of the 18th century. The dam formed what was known as Mill Pond (see map below), and the mills were up and running by the end of the decade. In the 1640s, a group of businessmen got permission from the city to build a dam across the mouth of a cove on the northern end of the peninsula, so that they could use the tides to power some flour mills. An early example of this is the story of Mill Pond. In fact, some of that new land was the unforeseen end result of entirely unrelated endeavors. Over the years there were many other motivations for making new land, including making harbor improvements, burying pollution from wastewater, safeguarding public health, building public parks, adding railroad tracks and depots, adding more shipping facilities to compete with other port cities, establishing appealing neighborhoods to entice Yankees to stay (and to counter Irish immigration), and creating space for the city’s airport. Shortly thereafter, its inhabitants began to make their peninsula bigger.īoston’s land-making wasn’t all about the need for more space, writes author Nancy Seasholes in her wonderfully comprehensive book Gaining Ground. The map above shows the shape of Shawmut when Boston was established in 1630. It had the advantage of a dependable supply of springwater, and it was well positioned for maritime commerce. They settled on a small peninsula-called Shawmut by Native Americans-that covered less than 800 acres and was connected to the mainland by a narrow neck that became submerged during high tide. When the Puritans arrived in 1630, much of the land that underlies some of the oldest parts of Boston didn’t exist. ![]() How did Boston end up in this situation? It all started in the 17th century, not long after the city was established. But last year’s drought brought the water table dangerously close to the tops of some of these pilings, putting them at greater risk. Water leaking into sewers or tunnels can drop the water table below the pilings even in wet years. These pilings sit entirely below the water table, which protects them from microbes that would attack them in dry air, causing rot. Structures built on the landfill are supported by dozens of 30- to 40-foot-long wood pilings, similar to telephone poles, that reach down through the landfill to a harder layer of clay. It seems counterintuitive that a lack of water would be a problem for foundations, but this odd situation is the result of an unusual facet of Boston’s history: A large portion of the city sits on man-made land. Last year’s drought had Boston worrying anew about a longstanding problem: The foundations beneath centuries-old homes and other buildings are at risk of rotting and crumbling.

Diffusion tensor imaging and neuropsychological assessments were conducted in 79 healthy, right-handed youth aged 4-17 years. The neural correlates of these dimensions were investigated within corona radiata subregions in healthy youth. Mirsky proposed a model of attention that included these dimensions: focus/execute, sustain, stabilize, encode, and shift.

MRS may reveal the progressive course of damage in the ipsilateral thalamus over time. Conclusions These findings indicate that DTI and MRS can detect the early changes indicating secondary damage in the ipsilateral thalamus after unilateral corona radiata infarction. Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between MD and the peak area of NAA, Cho, and Cr at W1, W4, and W12 and a significant positive correlation of FA with NAA at W1. There was no significant change in FA, Cho, or Cr in the ipsilateral thalamus from W1 to W12. NAA was significantly decreased at W4 compared to W1, and at W12 compared to W4 (all P< 0.05) in the ipsilateral thalamus. In patients, MD was significantly increased at W12, compared to W1 and W4 (all P< 0.05). Results T1-weighted fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR), T2-weighted, and T2-FLAIR imaging showed an infarct at unilateral corona radiate but no other lesion in each patient brain. Mean diffusivity (MD), fractional anisotropy (FA), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline(Cho), and creatine(Cr) were measured in thalami. Methods Twelve patients with unilateral corona radiata infarction underwent MR imaging including DTI and MRS at one week (W1), four weeks (W4), and twelve weeks (W12) after onset of stroke. In this study, We used both DTI and MRS to examine possible secondary damage of thalamus in patients with corona radiata infarction. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are potentially sensitive and quantitative methods of detection in examining changes of tissue microstructure and metabolism. However, it is difficult to demonstrate these early changes quantitatively.

Welcome to this fall’s low-maintenance version of apple pie or apple crisp! ![]() These people often suffer from snoring, choking, or gasping for air while sleeping. This group also included people with obstructive sleep apnea which can also affect sleep quality. This patient population also had higher blood pressure rates, an increase in inflammation, and varying insulin levels all of which have historically been associated with increased levels of atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the hearts arteries. People with irregular sleep patterns included those that worked afternoon or night shifts, and interestingly those that did not work at all. According to a new study, published in the American Heart Association, adults with irregular sleep patterns-people whose total amount of sleep changes by two or more hours each night-had a significantly increased risk in developing coronary artery disease and a possible increase in peripheral vascular disease. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) makes the following recommendations for hours of sleep based on age group:īeyond getting the right amount of sleep, getting a consistent amount of sleep each night is also fundamental to your cardiovascular health. The amount of sleep you need changes as you age. “People with healthier sleep habits can more effectively manage cardiovascular risk factors, such as weight and blood pressure.” How much sleep do I need? “The latest findings tell us that sleep affects our overall health,” said Patel. The decision to add sleep duration to this checklist is research-based. Along with healthy sleep, the AHA’s Life’s Essential 8 TM checklist for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health includes behaviors and factors like nicotine exposure, diet, weight, physical activity, cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose. However, research suggests that more than 80 percent of all cardiovascular events can be prevented by managing risk factors and adopting a healthier lifestyle-including sleep.Īccording to the American Heart Association (AHA), sleep duration is essential to cardiovascular and neurological health. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and globally. “Knowing how much sleep you need and developing habits that promote quality sleep is essential to your overall health and well-being.” Sleep duration and cardiovascular health “A lack of sleep negatively impacts your mind and body and is associated with chronic conditions such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and depression,” said Pranav Patel, MD, a board-certified clinical cardiologist at Inspira Health and a member provider of the Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care network. About one-third of adults in the United States report getting less than the recommended amount of sleep each night. ![]() VOYWAR 2013 provides the owners with a right to cancel “this Contract of Carriage” or refuse to perform such part of at any time before loading. Be careful with Contracts of Affreightment Clauses which confer an automatic right of termination in the event of an outbreak of war between named countries should be studied carefully and legal advice taken before exercising any cancellation right. However, there is no right of termination – the time charterer must provide alternative employment for the ship. ![]() In addition to allocating responsibility for the cost of additional war risks insurance, BIMCO’s current War Risks Clauses also give the master discretion to refuse to proceed to a “high risk” area, or the right to leave the area if the ship is already there. Earlier versions of these BIMCO clauses, and other older war risk clauses, may address the allocation of costs differently or not cover it at all – so you should carefully read your charter party terms. These clauses clearly allocate the circumstances under which these additional costs can be passed to charterers. The nature of conflict has changed considerably over time and BIMCO strongly recommends that parties incorporate the latest available editions of standard War Risks Clauses into their charter parties: namely the widely used CONWARTIME 2013 and VOYWAR 2013 War Risks Clauses. Whether these additional costs are paid by owners or can be passed to the charterers is determined by the terms of the charter party. APs are quoted based on a percentage of the value of the hull, and in some cases the amount can be substantial depending on the level of risk. Shipowners who agree to trade in these “high risk” areas generally arrange extra insurance to cover additional hull and machinery war risk premiums and crew war bonus. Underwriters day top value is at present 1%. AP is typically charged as a percentage of the hull value. Some underwriters are charging a flat rate for all tonnage operating in the area, while others are differentiating based on the type of tonnage, flag and port of call. As a result of increasing tension in the Persian Gulf area following recent attacks on two tankers, War Risk underwriters are charging additional premiums (AP) for calls to the Arabian Gulf/Gulf of Oman. |
