Mureș County, Romanian: Județul Mures, Hungarian: Maros megye) is a county (județ) of Romania, in the historical region of Transylvania, with the administrative centre in Târgu Mureș. The county was established in 1968, after the administrative reorganization that re-introduced the historical județ (county) system, still used today. This reform eliminated the previous Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region, which had been created in 1952 within the People's Republic of Romania. Mureș County has a vibrant multicultural fabric that includes Hungarian-speaking Székelys and Transylvanian Saxons, with a rich heritage of fortified churches and towns.
Name
In Hungarian, it is known as Maros megye ([ˈmɒroʃ ˈmɛɟɛ]), and in German as Kreis Mieresch. Under Kingdom of Hungary, a county with a similar name (Maros-Torda County, Romanian: Comitatul Mureş-Turda) was created in 1876. There was a county with the same name under the Kingdom of Romania, and a Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region (1960–1968) under the Socialist Republic of Romania.
Monticello was the primary plantation of Thomas Jefferson, a Founding Father, author of the Declaration of Independence, and the third president of the United States. Jefferson began designing Monticello after inheriting land from his father at the age of 14, but its construction date is typically identified as 1772. Located in Albemarle County just outside Charlottesville in the Piedmont region, the plantation was originally 5,000 acres, with Jefferson using the forced labor of slaves for extensive cultivation of tobacco and mixed crops (later shifting from tobacco cultivation to wheat in response to changing markets). Due to its architectural and historic significance, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. In 1987, Monticello and the nearby University of Virginia, also designed by Jefferson, were jointly designated as a single UNESCO World Heritage Site. The United States nickel has featured a depiction of Monticello on its reverse since 1938 (except for 2004-05).
Jefferson designed the main house using neoclassical design principles pioneered by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and reworking the design through much of his presidency to include design elements popular in late 18th-century Europe and integrating numerous ideas of his own. Situated on the summit of an 850 foot-high peak in the Southwest Mountains south of the Rivanna Gap, the name Monticello derives from Italian meaning "little mountain." Along a prominent lane adjacent to the house, Mulberry Row, the plantation came to include numerous outbuildings for specialized functions, e.g., a nailery; quarters for slaves who worked in the home; gardens for flowers, produce, and Jefferson's experiments in plant breeding—along with tobacco fields and mixed crops. Cabins for slaves who worked in the fields were farther from the mansion.
At Jefferson's direction, he was buried on the grounds, in an area now designated as the Monticello Cemetery. The cemetery is owned by the Monticello Association, a society of his descendants through Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson. After Jefferson's death, his daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph, apart from the small family graveyard, sold Monticello for $7,500. In 1834, it was bought by Uriah P. Levy, a commodore in the U.S. Navy, for $2,500, who admired Jefferson and spent his own money to preserve the property. His nephew Jefferson Monroe Levy took over the property in 1879; he also invested considerable money to restore and preserve it. In 1923, Monroe Levy sold it for $500,000 to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation (TJF), which operates it as a house museum and educational institution.

Constructed in 2006-08 by the Wilcox DeVere Constr. Co., this structure replaced the former Leelanau County Courthouse that once stood in the village of Leland. It was designed by the architectural firm of the Landmark Design Group. The county's previous courthouse in Leland was built in 1966, and is no longer standing.
With the relocation of the courthouse to this rural site in Suttons Bay Township, Leelanau County holds a unique position in the United States of not having an official county seat. The nearest communities to this building are Lake Leelanau (located two miles to the west) and the town of Suttons Bay (located three miles to the southeast).
Leelanau County is comprised of the Leelanau Peninsula, to the northwest of Traverse City. The county is a scenic resort destination made up of about ten small resort communities.

The concept of Broadview – Senior Living at Purchase College started taking shape in 2002. It serves the needs of a growing senior population in the greater Westchester County area. It is a one-of-a-kind senior living in Westchester, NY, with a unique “Learning Commons,” a space where residents and students can learn from each other over coffee. The initial phase of the proposed community will include 220 independent living apartments and villas for seniors ages 62 and older. Also, it will have enhanced assisted living apartments, and memory care suites will be available on-site. The facility will offer a full range of amenities on campus, including dining venues, a fitness center, a heated indoor pool, a salon, a library, and a movie theater. Also, it will have walking paths, gardens, an outdoor dining area, and amphitheater – the perfect spot to enjoy a performance on a summer’s evening. Details about Broadview Senior Living can be viewed at www.broadviewseniorliving.org/.
