Westborough – Over 200 local business leaders, as well as town and state officials, gathered Jan. 25 to honor 10 Westborough businesses and two school organizations at the 2018 Year in Review and Fifth Annual Celebratory Event. The event, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston – Westborough, was hosted by the Westborough Economic Development Committee (WEDC).
Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, the keynote speaker, praised the business community, as well as local officials, for their collaborative efforts which helped to bring 60 new businesses to Westborough over the past year.
Much attention has been paid to economic development in the Seaport district of Boston, Polito noted, but it was "exciting to see the growth in Metrowest as well," she said.
Equally important, she added, was the continued efforts of state leadership to increase resources for businesses to succeed in the commonwealth.
"We are here for you," she said. "We have the tools to help you," she said of the Baker-Polito administration.
After Polito's speech, Bonnie Sullivan, WEDC chair and James Ball and Joshua Lee Smith, WEDC ambassadors, presented awards to 12 organizations for their contributions to the local business community.
Public-Private Partnership Award – PENTA Communications, Inc.
The EDC also presented two Civic Pride awards to representatives from the Westborough Public Schools. Johanna DiCarlo, the Westborough High School Athletic Director, accepted the award on behalf of the initiative Rangers on Track, which raised funds to make improvements for the WHS track and field complex.
Led by School Superintendent Amber Bock, faculty and students accepted the award for the BORO Sugar Shack, a candy store that is run in the downtown area by post-high school transition.

Amedeo Modigliani - The Complete Works - Biography - modigliani-foundation.org
Biography of Amedeo Modigliani
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was born into a Jewish family at Livorno, in Tuscany. Livorno was still a relatively new city, by Italian standards, in the late 19th century. The Livorno that Modigliani knew was a bustling centre of commerce focused upon seafaring and shipwrighting, but its cultural history lay in being a refuge for those persecuted for their religion. His own maternal great-great-grandfather was one Solomon Garsin, a Jew who had immigrated to Livorno in the eighteenth century as a religious refugee.
Modigliani was the fourth child of Flaminio Modigliani and his wife, Eugenia Garsin. His father was in the money-changing business, but when the business went bankrupt, the family lived in dire poverty. In fact, Amedeo's birth saved the family from certain ruin, as, according to an ancient law, creditors could not seize the bed of a pregnant woman or a mother with a newborn child. When bailiffs entered the family home, just as Eugenia went into labour, the family protected their most valuable assets by piling them on top of the expectant mother.
Modigliani had a particularly close relationship with his mother, who taught her son at home until he was ten. Beset with health problems after an attack of pleurisy when he was about eleven, a few years later he developed a case of typhoid fever. When he was roughly sixteen he was taken ill with pleurisy again, and it was then that he contracted the tuberculosis which was to eventually claim his life. Each time it was his mother Eugenia's intensive care of him which pulled him through. After Modigliani had recovered from the second bout of pleurisy, his mother took him on a tour of southern Italy: Naples, Capri, Rome and Amalfi, then back north to Florence and Venice.
His mother was, in many ways, instrumental in his ability to pursue art as a vocation. When he was eleven years of age, she had noted in her diary:
"The child's character is still so unformed that I cannot say what I think of it. He behaves like a spoiled child, but he does not lack intelligence. We shall have to wait and see what is inside this chrysalis. Perhaps an artist?"
Art student years
Modigliani is known to have drawn and painted from a very early age, and thought himself "already a painter", his mother wrote, even before beginning formal studies. Despite her misgivings that launching him on a course of studying art would impinge upon his other studies, his mother indulged the young Modigliani's passion for the subject.
At the age of fourteen, while sick with the typhoid fever, he raved in his delirium that he wanted, above all else, to see the paintings in the Palazzo Pitti and the Uffizi in Florence. As Livorno's local museum only housed a sparse few paintings by the Italian Renaissance masters, the tales he had heard about the great works held in Florence intrigued him, and it was a source of considerable despair to him, in his sickened state, that he might never get the chance to view them in person. His mother promised that she would take him to Florence herself, the moment he was recovered. Not only did she fulfil this promise, but she also undertook to enroll him with the best painting master in Livorno, Guglielmo Micheli.
Micheli and the Macchiaioli
Modigliani worked in Micheli's Art School from 1898 to 1900. Here his earliest formal artistic instruction took place in an atmosphere deeply steeped in a study of the styles and themes of nineteenth-century Italian art. In his earliest Parisian work, traces of this influence, and that of his studies of Renaissance art, can still be seen: artists such as Giovanni Boldini figure just as much in this nascent work as do those of Toulouse-Lautrec.
Modigliani showed great promise while with Micheli, and only ceased his studies when he was forced to, by the onset of tuberculosis.
In 1901, whilst in Rome, Modigliani admired the work of Domenico Morelli, a painter of melodramatic Biblical studies and scenes from great literature. It is ironic that he should be so struck by Morelli, as this painter had served as an inspiration for a group of iconoclasts who went known by the title "the Macchiaioli" (from macchia -"dash of colour", or, more derogatively, "stain"), and Modigliani had already been exposed to the influences of the Macchiaioli. This minor, localized art movement was possessed of a need to react against the bourgeois stylings of the academic genre painters. While sympathetically connected to (and actually pre-dating) the French Impressionists, the Macchiaioli did not make the same impact upon international art culture as did the followers of Monet, and are today largely forgotten outside of Italy.
Modigliani's connection with the movement was through Guglielmo Micheli, his first art teacher. Micheli was not only a Macchiaiolo himself, but had been a pupil of the famous Giovanni Fattori, a founder of the movement. Micheli's work, however, was so fashionable and the genre so commonplace that the young Modigliani reacted against it, preferring to ignore the obsession with landscape that, as with French Impressionism, characterized the movement. Micheli also tried to encourage his pupils to paint en plein air, but Modigliani never really got a taste for this style of working, sketching in cafes, but preferring to paint indoors, and especially in his own studio. Even when compelled to paint landscapes (three are known to exist), Modigliani chose a proto-Cubist palette more akin to Cezanne than to the Macchiaioli.
While with Micheli, Modigliani not only studied landscape, but also portraiture, still-life, and the nude. His fellow students recall that the latter was where he displayed his greatest talent, and apparently this was not an entirely academic pursuit for the teenager: when not painting nudes, he was occupied with seducing the household maid.
Despite his rejection of the Macchiaioli approach, Modigliani nonetheless found favour with his teacher, who referred to him as "Superman", a pet name reflecting the fact that Modigliani was not only quite adept at his art, but also that he regularly quoted from Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Fattori himself would often visit the studio, and approved of the young artist's innovations.
In 1902, Modigliani continued what was to be a life-long infatuation with life drawing, enrolling in the Accademia di Belle Arti (Scuola Libera di Nudo, or "Free School of Nude Studies") in Florence. A year later while still suffering from tuberculosis, he moved to Venice, where he registered to study at the Istituto di Belle Arti.
It is in Venice that he first smoked hashish and, rather than studying, began to spend time frequenting disreputable parts of the city. The impact of these lifestyle choices upon his developing artistic style is open to conjecture, although these choices do seem to be more than simple teenage rebellion, or the cliched hedonism and bohemianism that was almost expected of artists of the time; his pursuit of the seedier side of life appears to have roots in his appreciation of radical philosophies, such as those of Nietzsche.
Early literary influences
Having been exposed to erudite philosophical literature as a young boy under the tutelage of Isaco Garsin, his maternal grandfather, he continued to read and be influenced through his art studies by the writings of Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Carducci, Comte de Lautreamont, and others, and developed the belief that the only route to true creativity was through defiance and disorder.
Letters that he wrote from his 'sabbatical' in Capri in 1901 clearly indicate that he is being more and more influenced by the thinking of Nietzsche. In these letters, he advised friend Oscar Ghiglia,
"(hold sacred all) which can exalt and excite your intelligence... (and) ... seek to provoke ... and to perpetuate ... these fertile stimuli, because they can push the intelligence to its maximum creative power."
The work of Lautreamont was equally influential at this time. This doomed poet's Les Chants de Maldoror became the seminal work for the Parisian Surrealists of Modigliani's generation, and the book became Modigliani's favourite to the extent that he learnt it by heart. The poetry of Lautreamont is characterized by the juxtaposition of fantastical elements, and by sadistic imagery; the fact that Modigliani was so taken by this text in his early teens gives a good indication of his developing tastes. Baudelaire and D'Annunzio similarly appealed to the young artist, with their interest in corrupted beauty, and the expression of that insight through Symbolist imagery.
Modigliani wrote to Ghiglia extensively from Capri, where his mother had taken him to assist in his recovery from the tuberculosis. These letters are a sounding board for the developing ideas brewing in Modigliani's mind. Ghiglia was seven years Modigliani's senior, and it is likely that it was he who showed the young man the limits of his horizons in Livorno. Like all precocious teenagers, Modigliani preferred the company of older companions, and Ghiglia's role in his adolescence was to be a sympathetic ear as he worked himself out, principally in the convoluted letters that he regularly sent, and which survive today.
" Dear friend
A bourgeois told me today - insulted me - that I or at least my brain was lazy. It did me good. I should like such a warning every morning upon awakening: but they cannot understand us nor can they understand life..."
In 1906 Modigliani moved to Paris, then the focal point of the avant-garde. In fact, his arrival at the centre of artistic experimentation coincided with the arrival of two other foreigners who were also to leave their marks upon the art world: Gino Severini and Juan Gris.
He settled in Le Bateau-Lavoir, a commune for penniless artists in Montmartre, renting himself a studio in Rue Caulaincourt. Even though this artists' quarter of Montmartre was characterized by generalized poverty, Modigliani himself presented-initially, at least-as one would expect the son of a family trying to maintain the appearances of its lost financial standing to present: his wardrobe was dapper without ostentation, and the studio he rented was appointed in a style appropriate to someone with a finely attuned taste in plush drapery and Renaissance reproductions. He soon made efforts to assume the guise of the bohemian artist, but, even in his brown corduroys, scarlet scarf and large black hat, he continued to appear as if he were slumming it, having fallen upon harder times.
When he first arrived in Paris, he wrote home regularly to his mother, he sketched his nudes at the Colarossi school, and he drank wine in moderation. He was at that time considered by those who knew him as a bit reserved, verging on the asocial. He is noted to have commented, upon meeting Picasso who, at the time, was wearing his trademark workmen's clothes, that even though the man was a genius, that did not excuse his uncouth appearance.
Within a year of arriving in Paris, however, his demeanour and reputation had changed dramatically. He transformed himself from a dapper academician artist into a sort of prince of vagabonds.
The poet and journalist Louis Latourette, upon visiting the artist's previously well-appointed studio after his transformation, discovered the place in upheaval, the Renaissance reproductions discarded from the walls, the plush drapes in disarray. Modigliani was already an alcoholic and a drug addict by this time, and his studio reflected this. Modigliani's behaviour at this time sheds some light upon his developing style as an artist, in that the studio had become almost a sacrificial effigy for all that he resented about the academic art that had marked his life and his training up to that point.
Not only did he remove all the trappings of his bourgeois heritage from his studio, but he also set about destroying practically all of his own early work. He explained this extraordinary course of actions to his astonished neighbours thus:
"Childish baubles, done when I was a dirty bourgeois."
The motivation for this violent rejection of his earlier self is the subject of considerable speculation. The self-destructive tendencies may have stemmed from his tuberculosis and the knowledge (or presumption) that the disease had essentially marked him for an early death; within the artists' quarter, many faced the same sentence, and the typical response was to set about enjoying life while it lasted, principally by indulging in self-destructive actions. For Modigliani such behavior may have been a response to a lack of recognition; he sought the company of artists such as Utrillo and Soutine, seeking acceptance and validation for his work from his colleagues.
Modigliani's behavior stood out even in these Bohemian surroundings: he carried on frequent affairs, drank heavily, and used absinthe and hashish. While drunk, he would sometimes strip himself naked at social gatherings. He became the epitome of the tragic artist, creating a posthumous legend almost as well-known as that of Vincent van Gogh.
During the 1920s, in the wake of Modigliani's career and spurred on by comments by Andre Salmon crediting hashish and absinthe with the genesis of Modigliani's style, many hopefuls tried to emulate his "success" by embarking on a path of substance abuse and bohemian excess. Salmon claimed-erroneously-that whereas Modigliani was a totally pedestrian artist when sober,
"...from the day that he abandoned himself to certain forms of debauchery, an unexpected light came upon him, transforming his art. From that day on, he became one who must be counted among the masters of living art."
While this propaganda served as a rallying cry to those with a romantic longing to be a tragic, doomed artist, these strategies did not produce unique artistic insights or techniques in those who did not already have them.
In fact, art historians suggest that it is entirely possible for Modigliani to have achieved even greater artistic heights had he not been immured in, and destroyed by, his own self-indulgences. We can only speculate what he might have accomplished had he emerged intact from his self-destructive explorations.
During his early years in Paris, Modigliani worked at a furious pace. He was constantly sketching, making as many as a hundred drawings a day. However, many of his works were lost-destroyed by him as inferior, left behind in his frequent changes of address, or given to girlfriends who did not keep them.
He was first influenced by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, but around 1907 he became fascinated with the work of Paul Cezanne. Eventually he developed his own unique style, one that cannot be adequately categorized with other artists.
He met the first serious love of his life, Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, in 1910, when he was 26. They had studios in the same building, and although 21-year-old Anna was recently married, they began an affair.[ citation needed ] Tall (Modigliani was only 5 foot 5 inches) with dark hair (like Modigliani's), pale skin and grey-green eyes, she embodied Modigliani's aesthetic ideal and the pair became engrossed in each other. After a year, however, Anna returned to her husband.
In 1909, Modigliani returned home to Livorno, sickly and tired from his wild lifestyle. Soon he was back in Paris, this time renting a studio in Montparnasse. He originally saw himself as a sculptor rather than a painter, and was encouraged to continue after Paul Guillaume, an ambitious young art dealer, took an interest in his work and introduced him to sculptor Constantin Brancusi.
Although a series of Modigliani's sculptures were exhibited in the Salon d'Automne of 1912, by 1914 he abandoned sculpting and focused solely on his painting, a move precipitated by the difficulty in acquiring stone, and by Modigliani's physical debilitation.
Question of influences
In Modigliani's art, there is evidence of the influence of art from Africa and Cambodia which he may have seen in the Musee de l'Homme, but his stylizations are just as likely to have been the result of his being surrounded by Mediceval sculpture during his studies in Northern Italy (there is no recorded information from Modigliani himself, as there is with Picasso and others, to confirm the contention that he was influenced by either ethnic or any other kind of sculpture). A possible interest in African tribal masks seems to be evident in his portraits. In both his painting and sculpture, the sitters' faces resemble ancient Egyptian painting in their flat and mask-like appearance, with distinctive almond eyes, pursed mouths, twisted noses, and elongated necks. However these same characteristics are shared by Mediceval European sculpture and painting.
Modigliani painted a series of portraits of contemporary artists and friends in Montparnasse: Chaim Soutine, Moise Kisling, Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Marie "Marevna" Vorobyev-Stebeslka, Juan Gris, Max Jacob, Blaise Cendrars, and Jean Cocteau, all sat for stylized renditions.
At the outset of World War I, Modigliani tried to enlist in the army but was refused because of his poor health.
Known as Modi which translates as 'cursed' (maudit), by many Parisians, but as Dedo to his family and friends, Modigliani was a handsome man, and attracted much female attention.
Women came and went until Beatrice Hastings entered his life. She stayed with him for almost two years, was the subject for several of his portraits, including Madame Pompadour, and the object of much of his drunken wrath.[ citation needed ]
When the British painter Nina Hamnett arrived in Montparnasse in 1914, on her first evening there the smiling man at the next table in the cafe introduced himself as Modigliani; painter and Jew. They became great friends.
In 1916, Modigliani befriended the Polish poet and art dealer Leopold Zborovski and his wife Anna.
Jeanne Hebuterne
The following summer, the Russian sculptor Chana Orloff introduced him to a beautiful 19-year-old art student named Jeanne Hebuterne who had posed for Tsuguharu Foujita. From a conservative bourgeois background, Hebuterne was renounced by her devout Roman Catholic family for her liaison with the painter, whom they saw as little more than a debauched derelict, and, worse yet, a Jew. Despite her family's objections, soon they were living together, and although Hebuterne was the current love of his life, their public scenes became more renowned than Modigliani's individual drunken exhibitions.[ citation needed ]
On December 3, 1917, Modigliani's first one-man exhibition opened at the Berthe Weill Gallery. The chief of the Paris police was scandalized by Modigliani's nudes and forced him to close the exhibition within a few hours after its opening.
After he and Hebuterne moved to Nice, she became pregnant and on November 29, 1918 gave birth to a daughter whom they named Jeanne (1918-1984).
During a trip to Nice, conceived and organized by Leopold Zborovski, Modigliani, Foujita and other artists tried to sell their works to rich tourists. Modigliani managed to sell a few pictures but only for a few francs each. Despite this, during this time he produced most of the paintings that later became his most popular and valued works.
During his lifetime he sold a number of his works, but never for any great amount of money. What funds he did receive soon vanished for his habits.
In May 1919 he returned to Paris, where, with Hebuterne and their daughter, he rented an apartment in the rue de la Grande Chaumiere. While there, both Jeanne Hebuterne and Amedeo Modigliani painted portraits of each other, and of themselves.
Although he continued to paint, Modigliani's health was deteriorating rapidly, and his alcohol-induced blackouts became more frequent.
In 1920, after not hearing from him for several days, his downstairs neighbor checked on the family and found Modigliani in bed delirious and holding onto Hebuterne who was nearly nine months pregnant. They summoned a doctor, but little could be done because Modigliani was dying of the then-incurable disease tubercular meningitis.
Modigliani died on January 24, 1920. There was an enormous funeral, attended by many from the artistic communities in Montmartre and Montparnasse.
Hebuterne was taken to her parents' home, where, inconsolable, she threw herself out of a fifth-floor window two days after Modigliani's death, killing herself and her unborn child. Modigliani was interred in Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Hebuterne was buried at the Cimetiere de Bagneux near Paris, and it was not until 1930 that her embittered family allowed her body to be moved to rest beside Modigliani. A single tombstone honors them both. His epitaph reads: "Struck down by Death at the moment of glory." Hers reads: "Devoted companion to the extreme sacrifice."
Modigliani died penniless and destitute-managing only one solo exhibition in his life and giving his work away in exchange for meals in restaurants. Since his death his reputation has soared. Nine novels, a play, a documentary and three feature films have been devoted to his life. (From Wikipedia)

The property known as Old Fields was in the Spencer family in the latter half of the 17th century at the juncture of today's Oldfields Road, Brattle Street and Vine Street and including Vaughan Lane, that leads to the Jonathan Hamilton property of Historic New England. This area has been the site of the archaeological dig conducted by Dr. Neill De Paoli from 2011-2015, and can be found on the illustrated map in Everett Stackpole's The First Permanent Settlement in Maine. The house, the land and the outbuildings were purchased by the first Ichabod Goodwin in 1740. Descendants of this first Ichabod remained at Old Fields until 1958, when Elizabeth Hayes Goodwin moved to the Sarah Orne Jewett House, where she served as caretaker and tour guide until the 1970s.
Here in this area of Old Fields was the original center of Berwick, where the first cluster of homes were built by families with significant ties to early Berwick--the Spencers, the Chadbournes, the Goodwins and the Moores. Berwick's first meetinghouse was just around the corner on today's Old South Road, a few hundred yards away from the property, with the local cemetery equally nearby on the opposite side at the juncture of Oldfields Road and Vine and Brattle streets.
It was here that the first Ichabod Goodwin traveled with his wife, Elizabeth Scammon Goodwin, and their three children. They came up the rutted ox-cart trail, the precursor to today's Oldfields Road. Remains of that rutted road can still be seen today, at the edge of the property where the Goodwin home still stands on the promontory overlooking the fields of the Hamilton House and the Salmon Falls River. The Goodwins, along with their fellow townsmen would have benefited from the location of the busy wharves at the edge of the Salmon Falls River (then known as the Newichawannock) where the two-masted brigs that had crossed the Atlantic Ocean brought manufactured British goods needed for the growing community and then returned with much-needed raw materials such as lumber and furs for the Mother country. Those ships would have officers and crews on board, men eager to avail themselves of the food, drink and lodging in the tavern that had been established at Old Fields in 1699 by the Spencer family, a tavern continued by Ichabod Goodwin until 1769.
Mehitable Plaisted Goodwin, daughter of Roger Plaisted and wife of Thomas Goodwin, lived in Berwick during the tumultuous period known as King William's War. She was immortalized in the Magnalia Christi Americana of Cotton Mather, the famed preacher of Salem. In this opus, Mather recounted the story of Mehitable's travails as a captive of a Wabanaki war party. Taken captive in the attack of 1691, Mehitable was separated from her husband, Thomas, and forced to march to Canada. During that arduous journey her infant son was murdered. Upon her return, she discovered her husband still alive, and the couple re-settled in Berwick where, in 1700, Mehitable gave birth to Ichabod, the first Goodwin to settle at Old Fields.
This prominent Berwick family impacted, and was impacted by, all of the struggles of a young America: the ever-present threat of the war parties of the Wabanaki confederacy and their allies, the French; the growing economy after those wars, interrupted by the war with Britain, and then even faster-paced growth by the end of the eighteenth century.
In 1729, Ichabod married Elizabeth Scammon. By the time the couple moved onto the Old Fields property they had three children and would eventually have four more children. Their third son Ichabod would be the next to run the property. Like many families at the time, two of Elizabeth's children would die in infancy, but we know that Hannah and Mary married and had children of their own. And in 1768, Ichabod would marry Mary Wallingford and sire twelve children of his own.
The first Ichabod Goodwin at Old Fields wore many hats, as was typical young country where there was insufficient labor for the numerous tasks needed for a town to thrive. During his tenure at Old Fields, Ichbaod served as deacon of the First Church of Berwick, ran a successful blacksmith shop, acted as sheriff and was appointed to a commission tasked with improving conditions at Quamphegan Landing (near today's Counting House Museum).
In 1758, during another round of warfare with the French and Native Americans, Ichabod Goodwin raised his own militia to travel to Fort Ticonderoga on the border of New York and Vermont, thus earning himself the rank of Captain. There, accompanied by his then fifteen-year-old son, the second Ichabod and future heir of Old Fields, the captain was wounded during the humiliating defeat of the British and American troops. Some years later, the Massachusetts Bay Colony would pay him a small sum for his injuries.
In addition, Ichabod Goodwin was a tavern keeper, or "innholder" as he was referred to in the numerous ads regarding meetings being held in the inn. Records found in the York county courthouse show licenses being granted to Goodwin for most years through 1769. These institutions were a vital component of colonial life, serving as a respite for weary travelers, a place for a meal and a bed, and of course, some liquid refreshment. But taverns had other, equally significant missions. Not only could a farmer learn the latest prices for wool or corn, and his fellow townsmen could hear of local news, but these citizens would find out about the latest affronts of the British King and the colonies' proposed responses. The tavern was seen as so important, its continuity so fundamental, that if the innholder died, his widow was allowed to step into her husband's shoes. The tavern was also where citizens were ordered to go when it was time to pay their taxes. So we see Ichabod Goodwin, "innholder" in ads placed in the Boston Post-Boy in 1743, 1744 and 1745, informing his fellow townsmen that they must attend a meeting on a specific day in order for the latest tax to be collected.
Records found in the York county courthouse show licenses being granted to Goodwin for most years through 1769. Numerous fragments of clay pipes, wine flasks and stoneware tankards found during the archaeological dig between 2011 and 2015; county courthouse records showing many yearly licenses being granted to Goodwin through 1769; and these newspaper advertisements; all attest to the presence of a busy tavern here at Old Fields.
There were other ads in the mid-1700s where you will find the name of Ichabod Goodwin, these placed by Goodwin himself. These postings offered rewards for Pompey and SaraJohn, his runaway slaves, an African slave and a Native American, respectively. Although we do not always think of slavery as being prevalent in colonial New England, this terrible institution did extend into all of the northern colonies, including the Massachusetts Bay Colony of which Maine was then a part. During his tenure at Old Fields, Ichabod Goodwin owned five human beings, four of African descent and the one Native American. In 1777, Captain Ichabod Goodwin's last year of life, his final probate inventory assigns monetary value to two of his remaining slaves, with an additional slave having no assigned value as she was too old.
In November of 1777, Captain Ichabod Goodwin died, his wife, Elizabeth, having "made her exit" (a phrase to denote someone's death as seen in 18th century diaries) three years earlier. The estate was divided among their many surviving children with the main house and farmlands left to the second Ichabod Goodwin, a loyal patriot throughout the Revolutionary War and a staunch Federalist thereafter.
In 1775 and 1776, the town of Berwick chose Ichabod Goodwin, the captain's son, to attend the Provincial Congress in Watertown, Massachusetts, to deliver a petition to the congress to consider the vulnerable position of the seacoast region and to pledge support to their fellow citizens in Boston. Leaving his wife, Mary Wallingford Goodwin, or Molly, Ichabod commenced the three to four-day journey to Watertown. At the gathering, we can imagine the now Lieutenant Colonel Goodwin exchanging pleasantries with such well known attendees as Samuel Adams and John Hancock. He was tasked with developing ideas on the proper treatment of the wounded and corresponding with Commander-in-Chief George Washington to advise him of their findings. Another early assignment was to dispense money to citizens of York County in exchange for guns and ammunition.
In 1778, the Lieutenant Colonel was deployed to Cambridge, Massachusetts where he was headquartered to oversee the British and Hessian prisoners of "convention" after the Battle of Saratoga in New York. He held that position from April through June and dealt with problems such as smallpox, spoiled provisions and deserting soldiers. The following year, Ichabod was sent to the Castine Peninsula, where he was involved in the devastating loss to the British during the Penobscot Campaign- a joint army/navy campaign which resulted in the most significant American naval defeat up until Pearl Harbor.
Following the conclusion of the war and the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Colonel Ichabod Goodwin continued to devote himself to the functioning of both his town and the new nation. In 1787 he was elevated to the rank of Major General of the 6th Division Militia of York, Maine. Documentation in 1789 shows him as presiding over the meeting of his fellow citizens to review the draft of the new Constitution of the United States; as president of the committee to determine if York County should separate from Massachusetts; and, as sheriff of Berwick beginning in 1793 until 1820, when Maine became an independent state. In 1797, General Goodwin led the townsmen of Berwick in offering grand toasts to the newly inaugurated president, John Adams. In 1812, he is again active in a fight against the British, this time during the War of 1812, and once more concerned with the region's vulnerable seacoast, his enlisted troops are sent to defend the area of Kittery Point.
General Goodwin was active in one other significant event in the early years of Berwick, one with a most enduring impact on the town, its children, and its economy. In 1791, Ichabod was part of a group of prominent men, gentlemen such as Jonathan Hamilton and Judge Benjamin Chadbourne, who contributed funds for the establishment of one of the town's lasting local treasures, Berwick Academy. The school continues to this day, including that first building constructed in 1791, its mission of providing a high quality education to students of the Berwicks and beyond. From 1826-1828, the General served as president of the Board of Trustees of this venerable institution.
In May of 1829, General Ichabod Goodwin passed away, preceded by his wife, Molly, four years before. His son, Andrew then took the helm of the family homestead, his older brother, the third Ichabod of Old Fields having died in 1814, possibly due to that year's outbreak of typhus.

Pentagon preparing for Taliban attacks during US withdrawal
By Press Trust of India on 10:50 am April 30, 2021 No Comment
Washington: The Pentagon is preparing for possible Taliban attacks on US and coalition forces as they withdraw from Afghanistan, a prospect that complicates the outlook for winding down America's longest war.
May 1 was the date all US and other foreign forces were to have departed Afghanistan under a February 2020 deal between the Taliban and the Trump administration.
As part of that agreement, the Taliban halted attacks on US troops, and none has been killed since then. But the Taliban said it will consider the United States to be in violation of the agreement for missing the deadline for full withdrawal. Their representatives have been vague about whether they intend to attack starting May 1.
President Joe Biden's decision to proceed with a final but delayed withdrawal adds a new element of security risk as the remaining 2,500 to 3,500 American troops, along with about 7,000 coalition troops and thousands of contractors, begin departing.
Biden has said all will be gone by Sept 11, the date of the 2001 terrorist attacks that prompted the US to invade Afghanistan in the first place.
"We have to assume that this drawdown will be opposed," Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Tuesday in explaining why Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin decided to keep an aircraft carrier in the Middle East and to move at least four B-52 bombers and portions of an Army Ranger task force to the region as a precaution.
"It would be irresponsible for us not to assume that this drawdown and forces drawing down — both American and from our NATO allies — could be attacked by the Taliban," Kirby added.
Gen Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters traveling with him Thursday that the pullout is "complex and not without risk."
The military typically plans for worst-case scenarios to try to avoid being caught by surprise. The withdrawal from Afghanistan involves ground and air movements of troops, supplies and equipment that could be vulnerable to attack.
For security reasons, withdrawal details are not being made public, but the White House and several defense officials confirmed Thursday that the drawdown has begun.
Defence officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive movements, said that in recent days some troops — described as "dozens" — and military equipment have left the country.
The State Department also is taking precautions. On Tuesday, it instructed all embassy personnel in Kabul to depart unless their jobs require them to be in Afghanistan. The order went well beyond the usual curtailment of staffers for security and safety reasons.
Even the most seasoned American analysts of the Afghan conflict are unsure what to expect of the Taliban.
Bruce Riedel, a Middle East analyst at the Brookings Institution and former CIA analyst, wrote this week that it's unclear whether the insurgents will attempt to disrupt the withdrawal, but he says they may escalate the war.
Seth Jones, a counterterrorism and Afghanistan expert as director of the international security program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the Pentagon is wise to prepare for attacks, although he thinks the Taliban is likely to show restraint. (AP)

Argentina's Economic Growth and Recovery: The Economy in a Time of Default / Michael Cohen
Nov 30, 2011 | Books, LA on the Move, News
This book examines the causes of the economic and political crisis in Argentina in 2001 and the process of strong economic recovery. It poses the question of how a country that defaulted on its external loans and was widely criticized by international observers could have succeeded in its growth and development despite this decision in 2002. It examines this process in terms of the impact of neo-liberal policies on the economy and the role of development strategy and the state in recovering from the crisis.
The book places the Argentina case in the theoretical framework of neoliberalism and state performance. It examines the origins of the crisis in the 1990s, the crisis and political collapse itself, and the efforts to overcome immediate poverty and social disruption in 2002. It then reviews the record of the government of the late President Néstor Kirchner from 2003 and 2007 and the efforts of the government of President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to continue reform and recovery despite the coming of the global financial crisis of 2008. The book identifies four key strategic choices, which help to explain Argentina's success:
national priorities and preferences were more important than global priorities set outside the country;
the importance of regional cooperation within Latin America;
the re-assertion of the role of the State; and
the government's objective should be to reduce poverty and inequality.
These four choices have defined Argentina's strategy since 2003. They are also useful for other developing countries and for the international community to consider in other crises, including the current global economic crisis, Greece, Ireland, and Spain, as well as the need for reform of the conventional advice of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
Michael Cohen is the author of Argentina's Economic Growth and Recovery: The Economy in a Time of Default. The book was published by Routledge.

Evening Star Productions presents THE ADDAMS FAMILY – A NEW MUSICAL April 16 – May 3

The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy
April 16 – May 3
They're creepy… and they're kooky…and they're back!
Charles Addams' weird and wonderful family comes to life in this
award-winning musical comedy.
THEATRE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY!
BOCA RATON, FL: Evening Star Productions' audiences are in for a fiendishly delightful treat beginning April 16th when Boca Raton's Sol Theatre will host Charles Addams' wonderfully bizarre cast of characters known as The Addams Family. The award-winning musical – the show's South Florida professional premiere – will run through May 3rd.
Charles Addams' ghoulishly clever and devilishly satirical Addams Family cartoons first began appearing in the New Yorker magazine in 1938, and his characters captured the hearts and the humor of the American public almost immediately. A close knit, loving family, with a few odd quirks – and a definite affinity for the bizarre and macabre – the Addams Family has appeared in a number of film and television adaptations since their debut, however The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy is based on Addams' cartoons, rather than any of the characters as they were portrayed in film or on television.
Evening Star's Artistic Director Rosalie Grant explains the reason she chose The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy as the young company's third outing of the season:
Rosalie Grant
"Designing Sol Theatre's seasons is always a challenge," she says. "We need to include straight plays for young children and adults; musicals for children, teens and adults to perform in and audiences to enjoy; commedia one acts to tickle the funny bone; and edgy plays to create a little emotional havoc. Our 2014 season was particularly important to me since it's Evening Star's sophomore outing. I wanted to choose a musical that hasn't been done by a professional theatre in South Florida, yet would provide us the opportunity to satisfy Evening Star's mission statement at the same time as giving local performers and audiences something new. There were a handful of musicals that fit this bill, but I kept coming back to The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy. It is being performed all over the country in high schools, and I can see how it is every high school director's perfect choice for their drama programs … the music is difficult, the characters are iconic, the costuming, make up, set just so much fun! But why not let adults have a little fun with it?! And," she continues, "Judging by how our Addams Family rehearsals are going with the amazing cast we have put together I made the right choice!"
Samantha Streich, who will play Morticia Addams agrees:
"I think the audience will really connect with this show," she says. "It's nostalgic, because these people and their charmingly morbid family are so familiar for so many, but that's not to say that there won't be some surprises. It pays homage to them in a really unique and fun way."
George Macia is looking forward to his turn as Gomez Addams:
"He's a very passionate and romantic character who surrounds himself with things that resemble death and darkness," he explains. "Yet, he is very much in love with life, living, and loving. He is very educated, charismatic, witty, and elegant in his own very unorthodox way. As an actor this is a very exciting role to play", he continues, "Because it covers lots of ground. It's got humor, a bit of drama and great language fusion in its musical score and script."
Evening Star's other Addams Family members include Gisbert Heuer as Uncle Fester, Nicole Minardi as Grandma, Nicole Kinzel as Wednesday Addams, Tony Smyth as Pugsley Addams, Christopher Lam as Lurch, Murphy Hayes as Mal Beineke, Ember Everett as Alice Beineke, and Christopher Mitchell as Lucas Beineke. Lito Becerra, Robyn Eli Brenner, Steven Michael Kennedy, Brooke Hall, Sofia Manolesco, and Denise Michelle have also been cast.
Evening Star Productions' The Addams Family – A New Musical Comedy will preview on April 16, and run from from April 17 – May 3 at Sol Theatre in Boca Raton. Tickets are $25 or $10 for students. Group rates are also available. Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased at the Sol Theatre box office at 561-447-8829 or on line at www.eveningstarproductions.org. Sol Theatre is located at 3333 North Federal Highway in Boca Raton (33431).

"Gomez and Pugsley are enthusiastic. Morticia is even in disposition, muted, witty, sometimes deadly. Grandma Frump is foolishly good-natured. Wednesday is her mother's daughter. A closely knit family, the real head being Morticia—although each of the others is a definite character—except for Grandma, who is easily led. Many of the troubles they have as a family are due to Grandma's fumbling, weak character. The house is a wreck, of course, but this is a house-proud family just the same and every trap door is in good repair. Money is no problem…" Charles Addams

This seems pretty cool. The Knight Library at U of Oregon has lots of interesting special collections, including LeGuin's papers (and coming soon: James Tiptree Jr.'s papers!) Open to scholars at all stages or in various types of careers. Deadline is Sept 1, 2013.


Burger King's recent anti-bullying public service announcement is actually really eye-opening.
They perfectly illustrate the selfishness of our society by revealing how many of its customers reported and complained about their burger being roughed up by a restaurant worker, compared to a real kid experiencing similar treatment.
Created in aid of National Bullying Prevention Month, the commercial pits a high school junior against an inanimate burger to demonstrate how people need to be more vocal against bullying.
When you see the customers getting so irate their burger has been ruffled up, yet do nothing other than gaze when the high school child is receiving the same treatment, it's pretty shocking.
The fast food chain obviously did an extremely good job of making their point as people on Twitter are hailing it the 'best anti-bullying PSA' they've ever seen.
You may think you're 'minding your own business' by not intervening, but as the end of the clip shows, there's nothing as good for the victim as when someone stands up for them and they no longer feel defenseless.
I think BK have definitely made up for their cardboard nuggets now.

What Are Your Favorite New Beauty Products?
For the past few months, I've been stuck in a bit of a rut. I promised myself that I would limit my Sephora purchases to the essentials. And I kept that promise, but as a result, I haven't been trying out new products the way I usually do.
Sure, I've snapped up a new acne treatment patch here and a new eyeliner crayon there, but my weekly trips to Sephora or Ulta just to see what was new have stopped. Great for my wallet, not awesome for blog content. But with spring just around the corner (I know, it's technically here, but it snowed Friday. I'm jaded.), it's time to expand my beauty horizons once again.
This is where you come in. What's the best beauty or skincare product you've discovered recently? I know, we all want to sing the praises of the tried and true, but in keeping with the spirit of the post, let's try to keep our reviews to products discovered in the past six-months. If a new product has blown up your group chat, let us know in the comments.
I for one, am looking forward to incorporating some of your recommendations into my shopping list. Right after I restock my go-to fragrance.
Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask! Obsessed.
Drunk Elephant Protini moisturizer! I got a little sample and ended up buying a full size. I've been using it day and night and my skin looks so refreshed and smooth! I've always been wary of new moisturizers since I have very temperamental, acne prone skin but have had no issues after two months.
Yes! me too! I got it with the birthday sampler and it cleared up all my redness and spots. LOVE IT. will be buying it soon.
Yes to protini and their retinol! And want to try their just released cleansing balm.
I second the Drunk Elephant retinol–in the past I've experienced all the side effects (peeling, redness, etc) but not with this product!
Acure Incredibly Clear Sheet Mask. I loved it so much I went back to the store and bought their entire stock. Sorry not sorry fellow Navy Yard Whole Foods shoppers.
Paula's Choice BHA Exfoliant. My skin has never been smoother looking and blackhead free. I had a major blackhead problem.
ANYTHING by Paula's Choice is amazing & reasonably priced. By entire skin care routine is from Paula's Choice.
They do an excellent job of reviewing products from a scientific, non-salesman, non-biased, real-world, perspective. And their web format is setup with a great filter so you can hunt for a specific product for your specific skin-type. I can't recommend it enough. I used to have really oily skin with bad acne & since I've switched to Paula's Choice for skin care and then use makeup products that they recommend on Beautypedia (by other brands), by skin is AMAZING. I feel completely comfortable going out in public without any makeup on now!
Thanks for sharing this resource!!
I started using a raw honey mask and am very impressed. I've stopped using sheet masks as much; it's clarifying and moisturizing. A little messy, and stays on 20-30 minutes.
I need to restock my Luzern Labs products – I try to find cheaper options to add to the mix (usually Avene or La Roche Posay) but always turn back to Luzern. My favorites are the Micro-Exfoliant, Cream Cleanser, Pure Oxygen Mask, Hydraenzyme Mask, and Resurfacing Peel Pads. They also recently added some retinol creams to their line up that I would be interested to try. I used to use Luzern's Force de Vie Lotion, which was a great weight for my skin, but switched to True Botanicals oil (the one for acne-prone skin). It's hard to say if it's worked since I started using it at the tail-end of pregnancy when my skin was clear, and I haven't yet gotten my period back, so I'll have to see what happens. I do like it, though.
* Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution (replaced my previous go-to, Pixi Glow Tonic, much larger bottle and less expensive).
Also, this funny-looking Herb essntls Cannabis Infused Lip Balm. Impulse buy at my local waxing parlor/apothecary, LOVE.
And lastly, I'm probably the last on board with this but RMS Beauty Un-Cover Up concealer. The best undereye concealer!
Seconded on The Ordinary's 'I look like I bathed in the blood of my enemies' AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. Cheap, effective, and entertaining.
Amazon has it (it's just more expensive).
You can also order directly from The Ordinary.
I don't use this specific product from the Ordianry but I use the hylaurinic acid serum twice a day, the caffeine serum in the morning and the retinol several evenings a week. I have lucked out and never had a struggle ordering from Sephora. I honestly think it is hard to go wrong with their products. I don't see a single pore on my face anymore and their price point cannot be beaten.
I've been looking for a silicone-free foundation and sunscreen, and ordered several samples from The Detox Market. The company has a sample option on almost all of their products – you pick four and pay $10. Through that I've found Fitglow's Vita-Active Foundation which I really liked, and Hynt Beauty's Sun Prep Broad Spectrum Sunscreen, which smells like watermelon and doubles as a primer. Also sampled Zyderma Clarifying Cream, which claims its micro silver is antibacterial. Can't tell yet if it helped with my breakouts, but it's a great moisturizer so I'm getting it too. Really recommend Detox Market's sample program.
I just started using the St. Tropez sunless tanning spray on my face and I LOVE it! Goes on nicely, doesn't have that strong tanner smell, and is a nice subtle glow!
I am loving the honeymoon glow night serum from Farmacy and the apple cider vinegar resurfacing peel pads from Volition Beauty.
For those of us needing MAJOR moisture, I adore Belif's Moisturizing Bomb face moisturizer.
I'm also a big fan of Laneige's Lip Sleeping Mask.
For a peel, I'm enjoying The Ordinary's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (the crimson-colored one).
+1, belif saved my winter skin.
+1 for lip sleeping mask!
+1 for the lip sleeping mask! Love the stuff!
I got a sample of Beautycounter's overnight resurfacing peel and was presently surprised. I purchased their Vitamin C oil but so far not super impressed.
I had a cancer scare a few months ago so I'm trying to be more mindful of what I'm putting in and on my body. I'm not trying to throw away my entire bathroom cabinet quite yet, but I'm looking for comparable replacements, especially things I'm exposed to repeatedly and over long periods of time. Allure says Beautycounter is the most searched brand on their website so I'm sure some other readers might like your reviews on their products.
I've been really curious about beautycounter products. I've read some great reviews, but I don't trust the pyramid scheme sale structure, and at that price without samples? Nope, I need a better guarantee before I put that kind of money down.
Agree that it'd be interesting to see a Beautycounter review here. My experience: I have tried or bought quite a few products as a friend is a consultant. Some of them are good, others just okay, but the only one that truly blew me away -the brightening mask- has been discontinued. I also liked their blush and the lip sheers (basically, a tinted lip balm in terms of color payoff). The oils and the eye cream gave me milia after a while (I have dry, sensitive, milia-prone skin). Products are nice, but a bit overpriced at that price point. Might be worth the cost for those who really care about high-end, clean beauty products. As a woman with medium olive/tan skin, I found most of their makeup shades too light or unflattering on me.
Hi! I'm a Beautycounter consultant and just wanted to offer a few thoughts here. One, any consultant is able to order and provide samples. I send out samples regularly to customers and prospects, or for locals, lend out sample sets, because everyone is able to make a better decision about products by trying them first. Secondly, it is a network marketing program, but two things I like about Beautycounter that I feel make us different in this capacity: one, you don't need to shop with a consultant or have a membership or anything to purchase. You can just buy online directly from the company if you feel better about that. And two, I think that we often ignore the fact that companies like Sephora and others make a profit on their sales and often salespeople work on a commission basis. Thus, I always remind prospective customers that they can choose to support a friend or an acquaintance if they choose to shop via beautycounter. I share all of this to offer my perspective and don't wish to argue..I know many people have had bad experiences with direct sales companies in the past. This is just my personal opinion. (And I do love the products. Was a customer for awhile before becoming a consultant.) I don't want to blow up the comments section but would be happy to engage further at my email or website if anyone desires. Thanks for letting me chime in!
As a customer and consultant, my fave Beautycounter products are: peel, no. 1 oil, countersun sunscreen, dew skin, and lip sheers.
I LOVE midnight recovery by kiehls. It is worth every penny and leaves your skin feeling better overnight.
Tried and LOVED the Kiehl's sample. Went to Sephora, waffled on buying half-size bottle, talked to the consultant and was convinced to get an oil with retinol. So he gave me a sample of Sunday Riley's Luna Oil. Smelled terrible, but it was amaaaaazing. Couldn't decide which I loved more.
But the price! So I took the fiscally responsible route and picked up The Ordinary's Buffet and 2% Granactive Retinoid. Dealing with retinoid flakiness now, not a fan. Guess I should have stuck with the Sunday Riley Luna!
I just took advantage of the 25% off of beauty at Whole Foods to try a few new things. So far, I'm really pleased with the products that I chose: Mad Hippie Vitamin C Serum, Trilogy Nutrient Plus Firming Serum and Trilogy CoQ10 Booster Oil. All the products feel great on my skin!
For thin hair: Alterna's CAVIAR Anti-Aging Multiplying Volume Styling Mist. I have thin fine hair that gets gunked up by most products but this works and it's lightweight. The first time I used the mist I was very impressed at how much thicker it made my hair look and feel. Pricey, but worth it.
Maelove's The Glowmaker Serum. It's evened out my skintone, made my texture way better. I absolutely love it… and the price point can't be beat!
Burt's Bees' new facial oil has saved my skin this winter.
Peach & Lily's new(ish) line of products! I tried a sample of their Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask and loved it so much I bought the full size after one use. That lead to me trying and subsequently buying the Glass Skin Refining Serum, the Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream, and the Power Calm cleanser. My dry, moderately sensitive skin feels calm and great.
I've been using Paula's Choice products for a little over a year now, but she just revamped some of her line and I've picked up this face scrub (https://www.paulaschoice.com/the-unscrub/740-7407.html) and I LOVE it. She also recently introduced new "boosters," which are serums to add to a daily routine.
The best part is most of her products you can buy in travel sizes to test since it's a little on the pricey side.
Loving the Klorane mango hair mask, Hourglass mascara, and Glossier You perfume!
Just got my first Glossier order this weekend. Boy Brow is amazing. Still deciding how much I like the Stretch Concealer.
I've been delving into the May Lindstrom product line for a bit, but about five months ago started using the Blue Cacoon followed by the Clean Dirt daily in a steamy shower. I don't think I need anything else. My skin is clear, even, hydrated, soft and looking much more youthful at almost 40 than it did at 35.
Don't know how new it is but its new to me; I'm currently loving the Givenchy Prisme Primer. Its super soft and incredibly light. Right now I'm using the No. 6 Matte, but I will be trying one of the color correcting with SPF 20 versions next.
I was Instagram-influenced into trying the Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask for its fun turquoise color but I really saw the pore clearing and minimizing effects and the cool feeling perked me up for a nice start to the day. Just purchased a full size.
That cool feeling is very invigorating.
Dr. Jart's Cicapair Tiger Grass cream. I have rosacea and red undertones and this green cream not only evens out my skin tone but has soothed inflammation too. When I started using it regularly, my sister commented that my skin was looking great and even luminous.
It's a little expensive but it's worth it!
Dior Lip Glow. I typically wear bolder lip colors, but this one is subtle, build-able, and natural feeling. It gives some color while still feeling fresh. It doesn't last as long as my tried and true MAC, but I'm really looking forward to wearing it through summer for that hint of color.
OleHenriksen C-rush vitamin C gel moisturizer — just discovered this via claiming it as a Sephora VIB reward last month and have seen GREAT changes to my skin. highly recommend.
Dr Brandt needles No More Wrinkle Cream! I got it from Ulta for $45 and it has really smoothed out my forehead! I can't use retinols so this has been a lifesaver.
Cannuka CBD & Manuka Honey Calming Eye Balm! Cannuka started in my hometown of Columbus, OH, and I was first introduced to this eye balm at a local face bar (Oasis Face Bar Downtown). Needless to say, i was pumped to hear Ulta is now carrying the full Cannuka line in all stores and online. This eye balm is calming and hydrating.
First Aid Beauty! I struggle with very dry skin in the winter (I think I am borderline on having eczema, I had it as a kid). This Christmas season I stumbled across one of those First Aid Beauty boxes in Sephora. I have now been using their Facial Radiance pads every other day or so. I also use the facial cleanser about three times a week. But I am obsessed with their Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration lotion and apply it twice daily. My 30 year old skin feels like its 18 again! Anyone in the Northeast, trust me, it's worth it!
I use Caudalie's Radiance Serum religiously. My skin is super sensitive and pretty much any amount of Vitamin C bothers it/makes me red. This has been amazing for brightening my skin without Vitamin C.
I'm a new mom so all of my "new" discoveries from the last 6 months come from the need to speed up my skin/makeup/hair routine.
New to me but likely an old favorite to others is Garnier BB Cream. Its perfect for me as a new mom because I can quickly apply it with my fingers and it has sped up my entire makeup routine.
Maybeline Great Lash in the big brush has been a favorite of mine for years but I recently tried the waterproof version with the small brush and it is a game changer. It holds a curl better and because of the tiny brush I can build out my lashes really well (I'm a southerner and a fan of big lashes).
Another new discovery is Living Proof Style Extender – it makes my blowout last at least a week!
Thanks to my daughter I also discovered the best night lip treatment – Aquaphor baby healing ointment advanced therapy. Its too greasy for her so I stole the tub. It may last me the rest of my life.
Lastly the CND Solaroil cuticle oil. My nails look better than when I was pregnant.
Boscia had a Daily Sephora Deal on their Baby Foot knock off and it FIXED MY ENTIRE LIFE. Or…. at least my feet. My heels were so dry and gross they were snagging on sheets, After 3 or so days, the peeling was disgusting, and I took a pumice to it. Thank goodness.
I've wanted to do this, but the peeling…Maybe when session is over.

Fevergreen, The Wake Up Kids, Deadset
Saturday November 9, 2019 09:00 pm EST 11/09/2019 9:00 pm
Cost: $7 – $10
The Wake Up Kids was formed late in 2015 by front man, Bobby Kemmer. After the break up of his former band, Kemmer was anxious to play music again. He enlisted the help of former bass player, Carson Long, to play guitar in the group. Bobby sings and plays guitar in the group while Carson's focus is mainly on guitar. After several months of writing and rehearsing, the duo played their first show in Marietta, GA in October. With momentum on their side, they decided to record their first ever single as a band. Kemmer and Long came out of the studio with a song called, Jetpack. Jetpack is a soft acoustic pop song that can be compared to the likes of Ed Sheeran. The band expanded in late 2016 to include bassist, Alex Stoecker (formerly of Enversia), and drummer, Timothy Simpson. After debuting their unique sound at the popular charity event 500 Songs for Kids, the band recorded an EP of original songs with EST Audio. Their full-band debut, "Nights With You" was released September 1st, 2017, and was well-received by their parents.

Blink Charging Europe > Blink > Blink Charging in the official announcement of the States Department for the large investments promoted in Greece
On the occasion of the signing of the scientific – technological agreement between Greece – USA (US – Greece Science and Technology Agreement), signed between the US Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo and the Minister of Development & Investment of Greece Adonis Georgiadis, in Thessaloniki on the 28th of September 2020, the US State Department issued a statement posted on the official US website Department of State. The announcement includes significant investments of the US interests that are promoted in Greece, while reference was made to the investment of Blink Charging for the promotion of eMobility and charging of electric vehicles in Greece.
Specifically, the announcement of the State Department states:
"US companies like Tesla and Blink Charging are entering the electric vehicle market. Tesla has a new research and development center in Athens. Blink Charging has developed a network of charging stations for electric vehicles throughout Greece.
In February 2020, Amazon Web Services signed a memorandum with Greece to promote innovation across the economy through cooperation in digital governance, digital infrastructure and cloud skills education. Greek engineers at Nokia collaborate daily with their American counterparts to develop solutions in the new generation telecommunications infrastructure ".

Q: About totally isotropic subspace This is Definition 1.4.1 and Lemma 1.4.2 from the book W._Scharlau: Quadratic and Hermitian forms.

4.1. Definition. A vector $x\ne 0$ in a bilinear space $(V,b)$ is called isotropic if $b(x,x) = 0$. Otherwise $x$ is called anisotropic.
  If $(V,b)$ contains an isotropic vector, then $(V,b)$ is called isotropic as well. We will also say that $(V,b)$ represents zero.
  Otherwise $(V,b)$ is called anisotropic. A subspace $W$ of $V$ is called totally isotropic if $b(W, W)=0$, that is $b(x,y)=0$ for all $x,y\in W$.
Let $V$ be a vector space and $V^*$ its dual space.
  On the vector space $V\oplus V^*$ we consider the following symmetric bilinear form
  \begin{gather*}
h=h_V\colon (V\oplus V^*)\times (V\oplus V^*) \to K\\
h((x,f),(y,g))=fy+gx
\end{gather*}
  (One can easily check that $h$ is a symmetric bilinear form.)
4.2. Lemma. (i) $(V\oplus V^*,h_V)$ is regular.
  (ii) $V$ and $V^*$ are totally isotropic subspaces.

I found bit confusing how to show $V$ and it's dual is totally isotropic for that I need to show $h(x,y)=0$ for all $x$, $y$ in $V$ and it's dual. Where $h$ is given bilinear symmetric form

A: You just need to check that
$$h((x,0),(y,0))=0 \qquad\text{and}\qquad h((0,f),(0,g))=0$$
for any $x,y\in V$ and $f,g\in V^*$.
The first equation shows that $V$ is a totally isotopic subspace of $V\oplus V^*$. The second equation shows that this is true for $V^*$. (Notice that we identify $V$ with $V\times\{0\}$ and $V^*$ with $\{0\}\times V^*$.)
I will remind you (look at the Definition 4.1) that to show that something is a totally isotropic subspace you only need $b(x,y)$ for $x$ and $y$ from this subspace. In this case you are applying this to the bilinear for $h$ and to the subspaces $V$ and $V^*$.

Nordhof ist ein bewohnter Gemeindeteil im Ortsteil Königshorst der Gemeinde Fehrbellin im Landkreis Ostprignitz-Ruppin im Land Brandenburg.

Geografische Lage
Der Gemeindeteil liegt östlich des Ortsteils Königshorst. Nördlich befindet sich der Fehrbelliner Ortsteil Dechtow, östlich Kuhhorst, ein bewohnter Gemeindeteil des Fehrbelliner Ortsteils Deutschhof. Südlich liegt der Gemeindeteil Sandhorst, der ebenfalls zu Königshorst zählt. Der überwiegende Teil der Gemarkung wird landwirtschaftlich genutzt und durch den Kleinen Havelländischen Hauptkanal entwässert. Die Wohnbebauung konzentriert sich um die Nordhofer Straße, die von Westen kommend in östlicher Richtung durch den Ort führt.

Geschichte
Friedrich Wilhelm I. ließ im Jahr 1732 eine Lehranstalt für Butter- und Käsebereitung errichten, die zum Ziel hatte, eine "Milchwirtschaft nach holländischem Vorbild" zu errichten, um damit die Herstellung von Milch, Butter und Käse in Preußen zu verbessern. Hierzu entstand eine als Butterakademie bezeichnete Bildungsstätte, die vom Amtsgebiet von Königshorst als Vorwerk in Nordhof auf zuvor trockengelegten Flächen angelegt wurde. Dort befand sich auch die Wohnung des Buttermachers. Die Bezeichnung wechselte bis zum Jahr 1745 zu Nordenhoff. In dem Amtsvorwerk befanden sich im Jahr 1800 insgesamt 13 Einliegerhöfe, mit 70 Personen, die 15 Feuerstellen (=Haushalte) betrieben. Die dort tätigen Tagelöhner beschwerten sich 1810 beim zuständigen Beamten, da ihnen offenbar der Lohn vorenthalten wurde. Die Gehöfte umfassten dabei eine Fläche von 1845 Morgen (Mg).  Im Jahr 1817 lebten im Dorf nur noch 64 Personen, im Jahr 1840 waren es 66 Personen in vier Wohnhäusern. Im Jahr 1860 bewirtschafteten 66 Personen (1858) eine Fläche von 1080 Mg: 598 Mg Weide, 465 Mg Wiese und 6 Mg Gartenland. Weitere 11 Mg entfielen auf drei Wohn- und sieben Wirtschaftsgebäude. Die Schreibweise änderte sich auf Nordhof oder Nordhorst im Jahr 1861.

Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden weitere Flächen durch Gräben entwässert und landwirtschaftlich nutzbar gemacht. Diese und weitere Flächen wurden ab 1918 vom Oberamtmann Walter Friese an Bauern verpachtet. Diese erhielten auch das Recht zur Fischerei. Im Jahr 1928 kam Nordhof zur Gemeinde Königshorst (bzw. Friedenshorst). Zu dieser Zeit lebten im Dorf 120 Personen (1925).

In der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus befand sich in Nordhof ein Reichsarbeitsdienstlager.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Das Schöpfwerk an Kleinen Havelländischen Hauptkanal steht unter Denkmalschutz.
