On the Market The Home Where Lizzie Borden Spent Adulthood
For Sale/Rent On the Market: The Home Where Lizzie Borden Spent Adulthood After she was acquitted of brutally murdering her parents, Borden moved to Fall River’s Maplecroft. 9/11/2017, 10:08 a.m. Sign up for our weekly home and property newsletter, featuring homes for sale, neighborhood happenings, and more. 000 Photo courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty306 French Street, Fall RiverPrice: $849,900Size: 3,935 square feetBedrooms: 8Baths: 3.5From the street, this impressive Queen Anne Victorian looks like many of the other antique homes that make up Fall River’s historic Highlands District. But the house for sale at 306 French Street comes with a sinister twist—it’s the home Lizzie Borden lived in following the murder of her parents.Borden and her sister Emma moved into the palatial home in 1893, after Borden was acquitted of brutally murdering her father and stepmother with an ax. The duo inherited a large fortune upon the death of their father—worth about $7 million dollars today—which allowed them to purchase the manse. According to the Herald News, Borden named the house “Maplecroft,” and had the moniker carved into its front step around 1909. Borden lived a quiet life in the house until her death in 1927.Today, Maplecroft is poised to operate as a bed and breakfast. Its current owner carefully restored the interior to its 1893 splendor, but her plans to open the home as bed and breakfast fell through. The home is now being sold fully furnished; each room is outfitted with furniture and decor of the period. The place also boasts eight bedrooms, six fireplaces, walnut wainscoting, and inlaid parquet flooring. It’s listed for $849,900 by Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty. History buffs beware, they’re asking for serious inquiries only.For information, contact Taylor & Associates, Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, mottandchace.com.Photo courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyPhoto courtesy of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International RealtyThe Boston Home team has curated a list of the best home design and home remodeling professionals in Boston, including architects, builders, kitchen and bath experts, lighting designers, and more.

It is aimed at cardiology office based imaging and was released this past spring at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting.The system has removable tablets on each side of the scanner where the tech can adjust the machine, review scout scans and trigger the scanner. The idea is to improve workflow and allow the tech to remain at the bedside longer to be with the patient, rather tucked away in a remote control room using an intercom.The entire system is built into the gantry seen here, so there is no need for extra equipment in a closet, cabinet or server tower.It comes in a 128 slice configuration with 4 cm of anatomical coverage per rotation.It uses the Stellar detector and tin filtration to eliminate low energy photons and help lower dose. It can be programmed to aid workflow by automatically removing bone, create cured planar reconstructions, lung CAD and other post-processing features so more time can be spent on reading scans.

The Nano-X system will use a fixed linac gantry and rotate the patient around the beam. This would lighten the weight of the system, reduce the need for room shielding, and cut the number iof moving parts to lower costs and ease maintanence.

This theme was the focus of her president’s address at the 2019 AAPM meeting. She spoke on the theme of diversity and how to break down the barriers between various minorities, male-female, religion, national origin, etc. She gave many photo examples of how we pigeon hole people into neat categories and that we often say we have equally in society, however her images showed recent images of big political summits where there are no women present, or they were the secretaries in the background. She said in medical practice, department administration and collaboration on projects, people need to be cognoscente of bias they have engrained by culture for which they may not even be aware.She showed a slide of the AAPM membership makeup by generation and said members need to keep in mind the way each generation thinks and communicates varies by their generation’s life experience and upbringing.

He said there is a lack of state regulatory oversight for medical physicists or their assistants, partly because there are no guidelines from the medical societies. AAPM has created a series of policy statements to better define these the roles and requirements for all of these positions.

He spoke at the 2019 Radiology AIMed conference. Deep learning algorithms require large amounts of patient case data to train the systems to read medical images automatically without human intervention. However, in pediatrics, there are often much lower numbers of normal and abnormal scans that can be used compared to vast amounts of adult exams available. This makes it difficult to train systems, so AI developers are coming up with innovative new ways to train their software. Compounding issues with training pediatric imaging AI is that the normal ranges change very quickly for young children due to their rapid development. He explained what is normal for a 2-year-old may not be normal for a 5-year-old.Desai and other pediatric physicians who spoke at the conference said AI could have a big impact on pediatric imaging where there are not enough specialists for the increasing image volumes.
