They are located just east of Brampton at 25A Calibre Court (facing Hwy 27) in the small town of Nobleton. GG Custom Designs Inc is a corner unit in a new residential building complex at Hwy27 and Wilsen St, and the pinnacle of style and fashion in the area.
From this day forward debonair men and women can get head-to-toe fashion and beauty makeovers from this stylish couple.

GG Custom Designs Inc is a bespoke clothing store, barber shop and day spa all under one roof. Gloria works with her husband Carsten upstairs, while a very experienced esthetician named Isabel manages four rooms below that comprise a day spa for men and women.
In the spa, Isabel offers the traditional manicures, pedicures and massage but also has new technologies including a skin analysis machine and a myriad of skincare solutions provided by DermVisage anti aging skincare and other providers.
Drop into the store for a shave and haircut. Men can get a traditional straight razor shave that includes the application of a steam towel to open up the pores and soften the hair follicles. Hot lather is applied and Carsten actually shaves each man twice; first he shaves with the grain-of-the -beard, and after a second application of hot lather, he shaves them again in the other direction for an even closer shave. A cool towel is applied to close the pores.
One of her many passions, Gloria in particular manages the bespoke clothing solution which creates perfectly tailored suits and shirts for men and women in York Region, Greater GTA, and beyond. After measurements are taken (or submitted) she can ship custom 100% handmade pieces to customers anywhere in the world.

If you're a fan of the Netflix series 'Stranger Things,' you can soon take a walk through the upside down.
TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI)- If you're a fan of the Netflix series 'Stranger Things,' you can soon take a walk through the upside down.
Exploration Acres in Tippecanoe County has created a corn maze featuring iconic 'Stranger Things' moments. Since the design was released, Exploration Acres has been getting a lot of attention.
For those who aren't familiar with the show, it's set in Indiana- so visitors are really getting the full experience here.
In past years exploration acres grew an entire corn field and would till the paths.
But for the first time they grew the corn seed in the shape of the maze using a bit-map type of technology, with no tilling required.
This is the largest maze they've ever done. The acreage equals over 15 football fields and it's caught the attention of people all over the country, and even internationally.
President and Co-Owner of Exploration Acres Tim Fitzgerald said they're planning for twice as many visitors this year.
"So we want to really kind of show off Lafayette," Fitzgerald said. "So that we can put our best foot forward and have a safe environment for people, and hopefully have a great experience for people who have never been to Lafayette and this community."
Fitzgerald also mentioned several other features on-site that mimick scenes from the series. But he's waiting a little longer to unveil to visitors what those will be.
Exploration Acres is opening for the season on September 14th at 6 p.m. You can purchase tickets here.

Leonard Earl Gray (December 19, 1951 – June 13, 2006) was an American professional basketball player.

Early life
Gray was born at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas and raised in Kansas City, Kansas. Because of his stature, Gray was affectionately referred to in his hometown as "Hugie".

High school career
Gray attended Sumner High School where he played basketball all four years and football through his junior year.  During Gray's junior football season, he broke his leg and chose not to return for his senior football season.

During his senior year at Sumner, Gray led the Spartans to an undefeated season and the 1969 Kansas Class 4 state basketball championship.  In the state title game against McPherson High School, Gray totaled 24 points and 22 rebounds. Gray's high school coach Roy Flook told the Kansas City Star that college coaches told him that "Leonard is the top prospect in the country".

In a ceremony at Sumner High School on May 6, 1969, Gray signed a letter of intent with the University of Kansas.  Gray chose Kansas over offers from over 100 college programs including UCLA, Harvard, Yale, and Big 8 Conference and Big Ten Conference universities.

College career
Gray enrolled at the University of Kansas for the 1969–1970 school year.

Due to NCAA freshman eligibility rules in effect at that time, Gray was limited to competing for the Jayhawks 1969–1970 freshman basketball team.  Gray averaged 17.5 points per game for the 1969–1970 Jayhawk freshmen squad.

On October 15, 1970, weeks before what would have been Gray's sophomore season at Kansas, Kansas coach Ted Owens announced Gray had left the Jayhawk basketball program and would transfer to another school.  Ironically, that season Kansas advanced to the 1971 Final 4, but the subsequent two seasons ended in sub-.500 records.

Gray transferred from Kansas to the Long Beach State basketball program coached by Jerry Tarkanian.

Gray didn't become eligible for competition for Long Beach State until February 1, 1972, which was midway through the 1971–1972 season. In his opening game for the 49ers, Gray scored 16 points in a victory over Cal-Irvine.
In March 1972, the 49ers season ended in a loss to Bill Walton's UCLA Bruins in the 1972 NCAA West Regional Final by the score of 73–57.

In the 1972–1973 season, Gray set a single-season Long Beach State record with a 56.5% shooting percentage and added 7.1 rebounds per game for the season.  The 49ers finished the season with a 26–3 record and a loss to the USF Dons in the 1973 NCAA West Regional semifinals.

After the 1972–1973 season, Gray was drafted with the 45th overall pick in the 3rd round of the 1973 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks but declined the professional opportunity and returned to Long Beach State.
Gray also was drafted by the Utah Stars in the 1973 ABA Draft.

During the 1973–1974 season, Long Beach State, now coached by future Hall of Famer Lute Olson who replaced the departed Jerry Tarkanian, was one of the nation's top teams.  The 49er roster consisted of five future NBA draft choices (Cliff Pondexter, Roscoe Pondexter, Glenn McDonald, Bob Gross and Gray) and finished with a 24–2 record and an Associated Press Final Ranking of 10th.  However, the 49ers were placed on NCAA probation for recruiting violations in January 1974 and were declared ineligible for the 1974 NCAA basketball tournament.

In 1974, Gray earned first team All-PCAA and PCAA  Player of the Year.

Gray finished his career at Long Beach State averaging 10.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.

Following his senior year at Long Beach State, Gray was drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 26th overall pick in the 2nd round of the 1974 NBA draft.

Professional career

Gray signed a multi-year contract with the Seattle SuperSonics on June 26, 1974.  He played his first two full seasons (1974–1975 and 1975–1976) and part of a third (1976–1977) with the SuperSonics for head coach Bill Russell.

In March 1976, Gray, who by then was a SuperSonics co-captain in just his second NBA season, suffered a season-ending knee injury that resulted in surgery.

On December 13, 1976, Seattle traded Gray to the Washington Bullets for Nick Weatherspoon.

After completing the 1976–1977 season with the Bullets, the team didn't offer him a contract for the 1977–1978 season.

Gray played in an NBA playoff series with both the Supersonics (lost in Western Conference semifinals) in 1975 and Bullets (lost in Eastern Conference semifinals) in 1977.

Gray finished his NBA career playing in 224 games over three seasons averaging 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Honors

In June 1969, Gray was named as one of the Top 100 High School basketball players in the United States for the 1968–1969 season by "Coach and Athlete" magazine.

Despite never playing football in college, Gray was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers as a Tight End in the 15th round of the 1974 NFL draft.

Gray was inducted into the Long Beach State University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1995.

Personal life

Leonard was the son of Paralee and Leonard Gray, Sr. He had two sons.

Gray is also the uncle of twin sister former professional basketball players Courtney Paris and Ashley Paris.  The Paris twins led Oklahoma Sooners women's basketball to the 2009 NCAA Women's Final 4.  Gray's sister Lynne is the mother of the Paris sisters.

A resident of Las Vegas, Gray died in Browns Mills, New Jersey on June 13, 2006.

1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
Bill of Exchange
The Jewish Encyclopedia
Instruments, generally in duplicate, ordering persons to pay money in distant parts. According to Hallam ("Europe in the Middle Ages," 3:339), Jews were the first to issue orders of this kind addressed to particular persons. An instance as early as 1183 is given in Capmany's "Memorias Historicas Sobre la Marina y Comercio de Barcelona" (1:297). In 1181 Isaac of Rochester, Isaac of Russia, and Isaac of Beverley were accused of having "exchanged" ("cambivisse") in Southampton (see Jacobs, "Jews of Angevin England," p. 73). It is not clear how this could have formed a subject of offense to the royal treasury, but it makes it probable that the Jews of one country issued demand notes on those of another, the countries in this case being Russia and England. The practise appears to have begun among the Arab traders of the Levant in the eighth century, and from them passed to the Italian traders who followed the Crusades (Grasshoff, "Die Suftaga der Araber," 1901). It was also taken up by the Christians of Aragon from the Arabs of Andalusia, possibly by the intermediacy of the Jews during the course of the twelfth century, but there is little evidence that its further development was due to the Jews. No Jewish names occur in the Marseilles list of drawers of bills given by Schaube in "Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik (1895), among those attached to the bills sent to the fair of Ypres in the thirteenth century, in the list given by Marez in "Mémoires Couronnés de l'Académie Royale de Belgique" (1901), or in the long list of drafts drawn by St. Louis on Italian merchants which is given by Schaube in the "Jahrbücher" for 1898. For a Jewish form of bill of exchange see "Berliner Festschrift," 1903, pp. 103-109.

Pokey Okey in Richmond, BC is serving up a luxurious creation – The Ruby Bowl that will sell for $100 from Friday December 7th till Sunday December 9th in limited quantities. We had a sneak peek of what to expect.
This poke bowl takes inspiration from different cuisines that Chef Victor He had from his travels and culinary experiences. Their goal is to elevate the concept of Surf and Turf and to highlight the quality of Canadian ingredients.
What's in the Ruby Bowl that justifies the $100 price tag?
When you order in-store, it can take about 10 – 15 minutes to prepare as there are a lot of ingredients that go into this bowl and it's made to order so you know it's fresh.
The wagyu is seared to perfection, but it is still rare as the slices are stacked on top of each other with lots of overlap. You can ask them to torch it for longer if you prefer not so raw meat.
The wagyu has so much flavour and the yuzu daikon oroshi really adds a nice acidity.
The lobster tail has the delicious Lobster Hollandaise sauce and shaved truffles. I just kept dunking the lobster tail into this and it was so good.
Under all of this is the lobster rice and boy, it's good too.
This $100 luxurious poke bowl isn't for everyone since not everyone has that much extra money to drop. It tastes really good, but their regular bowls are just as good with prices ranging from $11 – $16.

December 12, 2008 | I've never been one for taking handouts from people. I take pride in being completely self-reliant, always working hard and providing for my family. I make sacrifices in some areas in my life that aren't completely necessary to ensure that I am always able to provide all necessities for my family -- to make sure there is always food on the table.
I think most people in the country feel the same way as I do, and many are able to accomplish those goals the same as me, they don't go without, and they don't send their children to bed hungry. Unfortunately, there are still countless people that despite how hard they work and how much they want it, are unable to provide the necessities for themselves and their families.
Because so many families are being burdened with the hardships of the suffering economy, record numbers of people are turning to food banks.
Another terrible truth of these times is that food banks have lower amounts of food being donated than ever before. Some food banks are running out of food all together.
I would like to think that if I was ever in the situation that despite all my efforts I was not able to buy food, I could rely on the compassion of others and get some food at a food bank. It is terrible that some people are still living comfortably, even luxuriously, while others are unable to even get food at the food bank.
During this season of giving, the country as a whole needs to be more giving towards their local food bank. Every Christmas my parents and my aunt and uncle exchange gifts with each other. They try to stay around $40 each for their gifts. The other day my mom was asking me for ideas for things she could get for my aunt and uncle. She claimed she had absolutely no idea what she could buy. The idea I gave her was that after talking to my aunt, they should use their money they normally spend on each other and donate to the local food bank. Since neither family has any great needs, I thought this idea would bring them greater joy and truly get them in the Christmas spirit.
I admit I need to take my own advice and find a way to help those around me and donate more. I would like to teach my children that Christmas is a time for giving to others. I would like to make donating to the food bank and other charities an ongoing family tradition.
If everyone in the country could find it in themselves to donate $10 worth of food -- or whatever they could afford -- what a huge difference that would make to those who are counting on that food for their Christmas meal. This may mean a small sacrifice for some, but isn't it worth giving up one stocking-stuffer to be able to give something back?

Aurora Central Catholic completed its first-round state playoff game Thursday, beating Peotone 13-6 in a Class 3A game that was postponed from Wednesday night after a circuit breaker blew and knocked out Peotone`s lights. Peotone had taken a 6-0 lead in the first quarter Wednesday on a 4-yard run by Ray Thatcher (168 yards on 39 carries). The two-point conversion pass failed. Aurora then scored late in the first on a 36-yard pass from Tom Kucharski to Juan Elizondo, and after George Monaco kicked the extra point, Aurora Central led 7-6.
Then the lights went out with eight minutes remaining in the second quarter and the game was resumed Thursday afternoon.
There was no scoring Thursday until Monaco ran in from 3 yards out in the fourth quarter to give Aurora Central some breathing room.
Aurora Central (10-0) will have just one day to prepare for Saturday`s second-round game with Nazareth Academy (7-3), which lost 13-6 to Aurora Central in the Private School League finale two weeks ago.
''It puts us at a disadvantage,'' said Aurora Central coach Mike Curry, who said the school`s administration is checking with the IHSA about the possibility of rescheduling the game for Monday.

Unai Emery Sacked After 18 Months in Arsenal
by Denis Metev November 29, 2019
by Denis Metev November 29, 2019 3950 views
Unai Emery has been sacked after 18 months in charge of Arsenal. "The Gunners" lost 2:1 to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday which was the last straw of patience towards Emery. An official club statement from earlier today explained the reason behind the sacking: "taken due to results and performances not being at the level required".
Unai Emery couldn't reignite Arsenal
The Spaniard took over Arsenal in May 2018, having the difficult task of replacing legendary manager Arsene Wenger. Emery outlined his vision for the team's playing style and future shortly before his debut game against Manchester City in August 2018. He then told SkySports:
"Our style with the ball is to be protagonists. To do things with combinations, to control the match with the positioning of the ball and then, when we have space, to be aggressive going forward. Defensively, the first thing is to be organized and recover the ball quickly."
Arsenal lost that game and the game after. And while initially, it looked like the team has a plan to modernize and progress, it is clearly visible at the end of Emery's reign, that the plan failed. The 48-year old managed Arsenal in 78 games. He managed to win 43, drew 12 and lost 20, an average of 1.85 points per match.
Now, assistant and former club midfielder Freddy Ljungberg will be Arsenal coach on a temporary basis.
"We have asked Freddie Ljungberg to take responsibility for the first team as interim head coach. We have full confidence in Freddie to take us forward. The search for a new head coach is underway and we will make a further announcement when that process is complete," the club statement read.

Mendelssohn & Co. war ein Privatbankhaus mit Sitz in Berlin, welches 1795 gegründet wurde, zur wichtigsten preußischen und deutschen Privatbank aufstieg und 1938 in die Liquidation gezwungen wurde, nachdem sein aktiver Geschäftsverkehr von der Deutschen Bank übernommen worden war.

Geschichte
Das Bankhaus wurde 1795 von Joseph Mendelssohn in der Spandauer Straße mit zwei Angestellten gegründet. Später nahm er seinen Bruder Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy in sein Geschäft auf.

1815 bezog das Bankhaus seinen bekannten Hauptsitz in der Jägerstraße 51 (später zudem Jägerstraße 52 und Jägerstraße 49/50), in dessen Umfeld sich in den folgenden Jahrzehnten das Berliner Bankenviertel etablierte. Hier behielt die Firma Mendelssohn & Co. bis zur erzwungenen Liquidation 1938 ihren Sitz.

Ab den 1850er Jahren entwickelte das Institut besonders enge Beziehungen zum russischen Hof und Staat sowie zu führenden Finanzinstituten des russischen Kaiserreichs. Ab den 1870er Jahren dominierte das Berliner Bankhaus den mitteleuropäischen Finanzmarkt für russische Staats- und Eisenbahnanleihen. Unter anderem absolvierte Pjotr Bark, der letzte Finanzminister des Zaren, in seiner Jugend ein sechsmonatiges Praktikum im Bankhaus Mendelssohn & Co. Erst der Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges 1914 und der Leninputsch 1917 setzte diesen engen Kontakten ein Ende. Innerhalb Deutschlands stieg das Unternehmen zur bedeutendsten Privatbank auf.

Die wirtschaftlich schweren Zeiten der Weimarer Republik und der Weltwirtschaftskrise überstand das Kreditinstitut gut.

Im Rahmen der "Arisierung" wurden die "arischen" Mitarbeiter sowie die Aktiva und Passiva der Mendelssohn-Bank ohne Gegenleistung von der Deutschen Bank übernommen. Die Verhandlungen darüber führten der Seniorchef von Mendelssohn & Co., Rudolf Löb, sowie Hermann Josef Abs, das jüngste Vorstandsmitglied der Deutschen Bank. Am 5. Dezember 1938 schieden Rudolf Löb, Paul Kempner, Fritz Mannheimer und Marie von Mendelssohn als "Juden" aus dem Bankhaus Mendelssohn & Co. aus. Zum 31. Dezember 1938 ging es in Liquidation.

When location truly matters and privacy can not be compromised then you need not look any further. Although it is not on the historic register, it certainly could be. This is a total of 240+acre estate with a history that reads like a storybook and it comes with 5100+ feet of river front on the Delaware River PLUS a 60+acre private island!! From the approach at the end of a dead end road with overhanging ledges on one side and overlooking the river on the river, it's something that may never be duplicated again. The post and beam barns are aching for a restoration and the setting is all you could imagine.
There is a deeded RailRoad crossing to access the island and 25+ acres of flats along the river and plenty of South West exposure to enjoy the sun all day as it sets over the horizon. Abundant wells and springs throughout the property as well as a one room schoolhouse, wagon shed, tool shed, and an old bluestone mill.
This property is conducive to anything from a private estate to a world class resort destination. The fishing is out of this world on this stretch of the Upper Delaware. This is one of the top ten wild brown and rainbow trout fisheries in the entire country. Time seems to stand still as the river rolls past and the thought that the Big Apple is a 2.5 hour drive is almost difficult to comprehend.
This is, with out a doubt, one of a kind.


Well we had a great turn out for our first Halloween Shoot @ SPH…52 players came out $1145 in prize money…Great shooting and good time by all!
4th place Mike Doty and Craig B.
I would like to give a huge thank you to Heather Dyer who sat and ran money and entered wins on the bracket and Shawn Hallbrook for helping. The staff at SPH were great as always.
I look forward to next year's!!!

We come this morning to the final installment in this series of messages on Simon Sez: Lessons from the Life of Simon Peter. Although this passage focuses on the events of Pentecost, which we celebrate in May rather than December, it seems to me that the heart of Simon Peter's comments is quite appropriate shortly before Christmas.
Peter's speech to the Jews in Jerusalem is one of the more lengthy speeches recorded by Luke in the Book of Acts. But to be honest – it isn't so much the content of Simon's speech that caught my attention, as it is the way he began what he had to say. He began with these words – "Listen carefully to what I say…" (in the NIV translation).
These are words that most mothers and fathers have found themselves saying at some point in their lives – probably on more than one occasion: "Listen carefully to what I say…" The parents of young children who are becoming more and more excited as Christmas morning approaches may well have to sit their little ones down and get their attention with words much like Peter used that day so long ago.
Actually I think most people do "listen carefully" to what we say – but – they also listen to a variety of things before they listen to the content of our words. You might remember how to play the children's game Simon Sez. Often the "leader" of the game will give directions to do one thing while they physically are doing something else. For example the leader might say, "Put your left arm in the air" while he or she is putting their right arm in the air. The "players" get caught because rather than listening to the instructions they are watching what the "leader" of the game is doing instead. Many times people "listen" first to your actions – and if your actions contrast with your words – they will probably pay more attention to your actions.
We see this in children all the time – particularly children we tend to call "disruptive" children. Here I'm talking about the ones who don't listen to their parents – and of course this is no surprise – because the parents' actions usually have no consistency with what they are saying. Their words say one thing – but their actions indicate something else.
Why do we listen to what Jesus said? It's not his words that captivate us first – it is His actions. The symbol of our faith is what? It is a cross – a sign of action – particularly of love in action – an action that calls us – compels us to act in response – and it is then that His words become important.
You can always tell which people listen to Jesus' words before they focus on his actions. They want to argue about his words – they think of him as a teacher or philosopher. But before we can take Jesus' words with appropriate seriousness, we need to see that they come to us along with his actions – his love in action.
Usually our actions reveal our attitude – and all wrapped up in our attitude are our priorities and goals. It has been said – I think correctly – that if you want to examine your real priorities in life – you should take a close look at two things: your check book and your calendar. How you spend your time and how you spend your money reveals quite clearly what your priorities are – your goals – and thus also your attitude. We often don't realize how much we communicate by our attitude – by our priorities.
I am amazed at the way so many people today question whether or not children should be included in the time of worship – after all they say, "Children, especially the younger ones, cannot possibly understand the words – and therefore the significance of what we do." Perhaps – but they can understand our attitude – that we find our God to be a compassionate – caring – loving God – that knowing and following Jesus Christ is not only the "right" thing to do – but that it is a meaningful and even at times a "fun" thing to do. Is it an important thing to do??
We show an attitude to children – our own – our grandchildren – the children of others – by how we approach our worship. Is God a priority to us as indicated in our calendar and our checkbook – or is He just something we might choose on the Ala Carte line of life.
Simon Sez: Listen carefully to what I say – and to your attitude as well for your priorities say an awful lot.
Finally once we get past the actions and the attitudes – then what we have to say will be heard. We need to remember that our words are important – a word said hastily – just in passing – or in anger – can change the direction of life.
Watch your words – pass on the important things – say what you really mean – because people really do listen.
It needs to be said that as we speak we especially need to communicate more about the things of faith. Too many of our lives are devoid of conversation about spiritual things – about what it means to be Christian. We talk and talk and talk – about what in the long term is going to be simply meaningless trivia. Talk – and listen – about important things.
Peter's speech in Acts 2 is filled with the marvelous wonders of the good news of the Gospel – things he learned not simply out of his experience — but also in school – in that school that convened at the foot of Jesus – or beside him while walking along the shore – or while Peter was passing out baskets of bread and fish to the 5000 sitting on a hillside.
We should want , like Simon Peter, to say to others – "Listen carefully to what I say…" We need to also have something worth saying – have something to say worth listening to.
One of my favorite hymns has gone through some editing in our day and age. When the Presbyterian pastor William P. Merrill wrote it in 1911 he gave it the title: "Rise Up O Men of God." In our day it is often changed to "Rise Up O Church of God." But it is the next line that is particularly germane to our focus today.
Rise up O Church of God – have done with lesser things. Give heart and mind and soul and strength – to serve the King of Kings.
Put your heart and soul – your mind and strength into that which truly matters.

Braemoor Health Center Abuse and Neglect Lawyers
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and Massachusetts state nursing home regulatory agencies routinely investigate and inspect nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities and assisted living centers throughout the state. If inspectors find any serious violation that harmed or could have harmed a resident, the agencies can issue a financial penalty and force the Home to make immediate changes that ensure the resident safety.
Recently, results of numerous inspections and surveys at Braemoor Health Center caused the CMS to take appropriate measures in designating the facility as an SFF (Special Focus Facility). This federal watchlist places the future of the facility under threat of being closed or losing their contract provide services to Medicare and Medicaid patients.
Braemoor Health Center will need to make changes immediately and permanently to correct problems that have been identified as serious violations by CMS. In the months and years ahead, investigators will schedule many surveys and make unannounced inspections to evaluate the improvements made at the facility.
Below, our attorneys have listed some of the most serious grievances and concerns involving the nursing home that occurred in recent months.
Braemoor Health Center
The facility provides nursing and rehabilitative cares and services to the residents of Brockton and Plymouth County Massachusetts. The Home is located at:
34 N. Pearl St.
In addition to providing skilled nursing services, the facility also provides long-term care, recharge rehabilitation, hospice care, relieve respite care and physician services that include:

Once serious violations have been identified by Massachusetts nursing home regulatory agencies and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the information is updated and posted on the Medicare.gov website. Families needing to place a loved one in a nursing facility will use this data to determine the best location that provides the highest level of care.
Unfortunately, Braemoor Health Center was added to the Special Focus Facility (SFF) list due to numerous safety and health concerns. Currently, the facility maintains an overall to out of five stars for health inspections compared to all other nursing homes, assisted living centers and rehabilitation facilities nationwide. This ranking of the federal star rating summary system includes one out of five stars for health inspections, three out of five stars for staffing, and five out of five stars for quality measures.
Some of the safety and health concerns are listed below.
Failure to Provide an Environment Free of Coercion and Reprisal
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated May 25, 2017, the state investigator noted the facility's failure "to ensure that a resident has the right to exercise his/her right to make choices about smoking during non-designated smoking times." The surveyor also noted that the facility "failed to ensure that the resident had a choice to smoke independently based on a safe Smoking Assessment and not restrict smoking as a punishment." The facility "failed to document the meeting (mediation) and failed to follow up with [the resident] to ensure that the resident understood the plan."
The state investigator interviewed the resident at 4:30 PM on May 24, 2017, who stated that they "had a few concerns including food and wanting to access to the computer, but [their] biggest problem was at the facility limited [their] smoking times. The resident said that due to an altercation with another resident [they were] being punished and could only go out with the supervise smokers at designated times." The resident stated that "prior to this, the resident was assessed by the facility identified as an independent smoker and could go out to the smoking area any time [they] wanted."
However, after the altercation, both residents involved in the altercation "could no longer go out smoke independently but had to only go out at the designated smoking times of 9:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM, 4:00 PM, and 6:30 PM. The resident also said that [they like] to sit outside in the sun and now has to be supervised at all times."
Failure to Determine If It Is Safer a Resident to Self-Administered Medications
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated May 25, 2017, the state investigator noted the facility's failure "to determine for [a resident] that the resident could safely to properly self-administered nasal spray and disability be reflected in the plan of care." It was documented that the facility "failed to assess the resident's ability self-administered nasal spray and the plan of care provided no information of the resident's ability to administer the medication."
Also, "the medical record had no assessment or documentation to review that the facility had determined the resident's ability to administer their net is a medication." An interview with the facility a process Director Nurses 11:30 AM on May 20, 2017 revealed after the resident's medical record information was reviewed, that they "could not locate a completed self-administration assessment and agreed that one should have been performed."
Failure to Listen to the Resident or Family Groups or Act on Their Complaints or Suggestions
The state investigator reviewed the facility's Resident Counsel minutes and interviews with the residents and staff members and documented the results in the May 25, 2017, survey. The surveyor noted that the facility "failed to properly respond to grievances identified by the Resident Counsel Meeting and ensure that there was a system in place to inform the residents of resolutions to all concerned." During the group meeting, the residents were "asked a series of questions about their life the quality of care in the facility. The residents were also asked about the Resident Council Group and the facility's response to concerns identified by the Resident Council."
In response, the resident said that "the Activities Director assisted at the meetings and records are concerned, shared upcoming events, inform them of their rights. However, the resident's said that even though this process was done monthly, nothing changed." Some of the concerns that were noted included "a lack of facility response, cell phone used by the staff (texting), late delivery of trays on the unit resulting in cold food, not enough variety of foods, staff speaking other languages, not answering call built properly, and requesting activities for younger residents."
It was documented that even though "the resident said they bring these repeated complaints of the Resident Council Meeting, no one gets back to them with the solution and the problems continue."
Failure to Ensure Services Provided by the Nursing Facility Meet Professional Standards of Quality
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated May 25, 2017, state investigator made a notation of the facility's failure "to ensure medications for [three residents] were administered in accordance to the extent the professional standards of quality." As a part of the investigation, the State surveyor reviewed the Standards of practice reference: Pursuant to Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 112 that reads in part:
"Individuals are given the designation of Register Nurse and Practical Nurse which includes the responsibility to provide nursing care." "Both the Registered Nurse (RN) and practical nurse bear full responsibility for systematically assessing health status and recording the related health data. They also stipulate that both the Registered Nurse (RN) and practical nurse incorporate into the plan of care, and implement prescribed medical regiments."
In conducting the survey, it was revealed that "there was no documented evidence that the resident received [their medication] for 42 of 66 opportunities before meals, as ordered by the physician." It was also revealed that there was "no documented evidence that the resident received [their medication] coverage 3 of 22 opportunities at bedtime" between May 1, 2017, and May 22, 2017.
Failure to Provide Proper Care to Residents Requiring Special Services
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated May 20, 2017, the investigator noted the facility's failure "to follow their policy for a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) dressing change for [one resident]."
The surveyor conducting the investigations observed the resident in their room with "a left-sided PICC line and intact dressing. The surveyor could not identify a date for the last dressing change. The surveyor asked the resident if [their] dressing have been changed at the facility. The resident said no and that it was a new PICC for antibiotic administration. The resident said that the only dressing was done to the hospital right after the PICC was inserted on May 19, 2017."
Per surveyor reviewed the facility's policy manual: an infusion therapy nursing manual on May 24, 2017, that indicated "that transparent semi-permeable membrane dressings are to be changed 24 hours after surgery and every seven days and as needed."
Failure to Provide Every Resident Environment Free of Accident Hazards
In a summary statement of deficiencies dated December 19, 2016, the State surveyor noted the facility's failure "to ensure that alarms on the exterior doors on the basement level were engaged in functioning appropriately. At approximate 5:45 AM on December 19, 2016, [two surveyors] observed that [all nine] basement level exterior doors leading to the outside, alarms were not engaged and functioned properly and five of nine basement level exterior doors leading to the outside were unlocked. The lack of functioning exit door alarms and unlocked exit doors would allow unauthorized entry and/or exit from the facility without staff knowledge."
The surveyor reviewed the facility's May 1, 2016, policy titled Building Security that reads in part:
"It is the responsibility of all employees to observe the proper functioning of door alarms and report malfunction immediately so that prompt correction can occur."
The facility's policy "indicated it is the responsibility of the maintenance department to conduct ongoing security checks throughout each day and checked basement level exits to be sure they are locked." The two surveyors "toured the facility on the morning of December 19, 2016, between 5:30 AM and 6:10 AM. On the basement level, the patio exit door on the south wing side of the building was unlocked from the outside; alarms were not engaged and did not sound when operated." It was also reported that "on the basement level, the activity room exit door, alarms were not engaged and did not sound when opened."
During an interview with the facility's Administrator, it was revealed that "he was unaware that the basement level exit doors were unlocked and that the alarms were not engaged or sound when opened." The administrator also revealed that "maintenance is responsible for ensuring the basement level exit doors are locked, and nursing should check the alarm annunciator panel an insured to set in the on position."
Failure to Ensure That Residents Receive Timely Doctor Visits as Required
As a part of the December 19, 2016, survey, the state investigator noted the facility's failure to "ensure that a resident was seen by a physician every 60 days following the first 90 days after [their] admission." As a part of the findings, it was revealed that the resident "was admitted in March 2016… and discharged on May 11, 2016." The facility's Medical Records Manager "separate clinical records for [the resident] provided to the surveyor should be complete since [the resident] had been discharged." However, "there was no documented evidence of a progress note completed by a physician, a physician assistant, nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist between May 11, 2016, and the resident's discharge from the facility hundred seven days later."

Hoy (woe) unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb even (stone), Arise, it shall teach! Hinei, it is laid over with zahav and kesef, and there is no ruach at all in it.
Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake; to a dumb stone, Arise! Can this give revelation? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in it.
Oy to one who says to wood: "Awake!" To a dumb stone: "Rouse yourself!" Can it teach? Look, it is plated with gold and silver, but it has no spirit within it.
Woe to him who says to a block of wood, "Wake up!" or to a silent stone, "Arise!" Are inanimate objects your teachers? Look, it may be covered in gold and silver, But there is no breath of life inside.
Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake!' or to the mute stone, 'Arise!' Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
Woe to him that saith to a tree, Wake thou; (and,) Rise thou, to a stone being still; whether he shall be able to teach? Lo! this (thing) is covered with gold and silver, and no spirit is in his entrails. (Woe to you who saith to a piece of wood, Wake up thou! and, Rise thou! to a stone being still; shall it be able to teach you anything? Lo! this thing is covered with gold and silver, but there is no breath in its innards.)
Wo [to] him who is saying to wood, `Awake,' `Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid -- gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.

The slowdown in the property market is largely due to the problem of financing as demand remained intact, said the Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents (MIEA).
Its President Eric Lim Chin Heng said the government and particularly, Bank Negara Malaysia, seriously need to review and liberalise the lending guidelines.
"We understand the government's concerns over the overall household debt which stood at around 83.2 per cent to the gross domestic product as at September 2018. It is at a manageable level.
"But, let us segregate the mortgage debt against other components of the overall household debt. Mortgage debt is always a good debt and appreciating," he told reporters at the Malaysian Annual Real Estate Convention (MAREC) 2019 here yesterday.
On the first home buyers campaign by the government to address the property overhang, Lim urged that similar incentives be also extended to the secondary market.
Under the campaign, various incentives and stamp duty exemptions are given to the targeted group of bottom 40% and middle 40% income group, particularly for the primary property and new project sales.
Citing a National Property Information Centre report, Lim said 80% of residential property transactions were in the secondary market, and the balance in the primary market.
On the outlook for the property market, he said it would pick up slightly in the second half of this year, after a slowdown, amid cautious market sentiment resulting from the 14th Malaysian general elections and policy direction of the new government.
"It is a challenging market with the ongoing domestic adjustments and rising external headwinds, but once uncertainties settle down, confidence will be restored. Malaysians have money and would want to invest in the property market," he explained.
Meanwhile, Lim said with the emergence of technology disruption, all property market practitioners which includes real estate agents, are under threat if they do not embrace the new technologies.
"Digital media has overtaken newspaper advertisements in terms of its effectiveness in generating enquiries, with Facebook marketing seemingly the most effective medium towards generating leads, particularly in selling primary properties.
"Real estate agents now spend about ten per cent of what they used to pay for newspaper advertisements in the past," he added.


This common variant may have a small pathogenic effect by contributing to cortisone reductase deficiency (a rare abnormality) when homozygous and combined with a serious pathogenic variant. The same authors have tested and ruled out a contribution to polycystic ovary syndrome (similar phenotype, more common disease).
Familial data did not do more than establish heterozygous parental genotypes for the two homozygous individuals.
High allele frequency means that any pathogenic effect in this variant must be quite rare.
Incidence of this disease is unclear but appears to be quite rare. Draper et al. 2003 describe it as "characterized by hirsutism, menstrual irregularity with anovulatory infertility, obesity, insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism".
In contrast, this variant has a very high allele frequency. If this variant is associated with the disease, homozygotes must still have a very low chance of disease. An allele frequency of 40% means that 16% of the population is homozygous for this variant — if the disease has an incidence of less than 1 in 1000 people then not more than 0.6% of homozygotes could have the disease.
This variant was seen homozygously in two of three individuals studied with cortisone reductase deficiency; it was homozygous wildtype in the remaining individual. Case var/var: 2, case var/wt: 0, case wt/wt: 1. 100 Scottish controls: var/var: 3, var/wt: 34, wt/wt: 63. Also, 49 Indo-Asian controls: var/var: 2, var/wt: 17, wt/wt: 30.
Combined controls: var/var: 5, var/wt: 51, wt/wt: 93. Looking at allele frequencies, this has a p-value of p=0.02. A recessive hypothesis gives it p=0.005. The authors report p=0.0008.
The authors report that expressed mutant cDNA had less than 50% enzyme activity.

Stuntin' on 'em
Ferris cheer team provides home away from home
Posted by Jacob Carlson on January 9, 2018 in Sports, Top Stories.

The Ferris cheer team has not only provided fans and players energy, it has also provided a family for many of its members.
The Ferris cheer team has become a staple at football and basketball games throughout the athletic year and members of the team are certainly enjoying the tight-knit community that the growing team has built.
"We're a very loving bunch of guys and girls. We've all really come together and we can talk to each other about anything. We're not just a team, we're more than that," freshman Lauren Zielinski said.
It appears as if that tight–knit atmosphere is helping the cheer team grow into a special group. The team is boasting tremendous numbers and is currently sporting 30 plus names to a growing list of members who are striving to provide fans with a fun atmosphere at sporting events.
That number makes the team larger than any in recent memory and it appears as if the size of the team isn't going to stop growing at any point soon.
"I believe that this is the biggest Ferris cheer has been, for as long as I know of," Coach Caitlyn Peca said. "It is growing very fast, as I have already had three high school cheerleaders reach out to me to do a visit and an interview for tryouts in the spring."
There isn't too much talk of college cheer but Peca's growing team has provided the opportunity for members like Zielinski to continue growing in their cheer while performing at a high level.
"When I got to college I was not expecting to be a part of a team or any athletics here but my high school coach knows one of our coaches and they were looking for some more girls and one of my head coaches said I would be a great candidate," Zielinski said.
Peca has certainly played a huge role in giving members of the team that warm and welcoming environment to be a part of. Many times, fans are blown away by what the team can accomplish on the sidelines and it doesn't happen without a lot of hard work and effort from everyone involved.
The team practices three days a week for two hours at a time while also attending mandatory lift sessions one day a week and many more in their free time. Peca also provides private lessons while opening her door to any member in need of growing in their abilities. The work has paid off as Ferris is introducing a women's stunt team to bring their talent to a competitive level.
"I am so excited for this journey. Being able to put our name out there is huge, we have been determined and practiced hard to be able to perform our best come game time," Peca said.
The stunt team opens their season on Jan. 28 at Davenport and will look to continue to build off the success and promise that current members of the cheer team have shown.
As the stunt team looks to develop into a competitive team, there is no mistaking the fact that the group looks to grow closer as it becomes bigger.
"My goals for this upcoming team is to become a stronger family, to get our name out there and to provide a safe and fun environment for anybody who has ever had a dream to become a college cheerleader," Peca said.

Field to Family – by Karen Landry
1. Bell Farms, Inc.
1552 Riverside Drive, Auburn
or see them on Facebook.
Bell Farms is a local staple, and if you're looking for corn and potatoes, this is the place. Check out their variety of goods at their indoor farm stand, which is open seven days a week. Reviews of Bell Farms boast: "Best potatoes," and, "Great service."
2. Blackie's Farm Fresh Produce
966 Minot Avenue, Auburn
A fixture in Lewiston/Auburn for decades now, Blackie's is the go-to place for many seeking fresh local produce. Located in Auburn (the Lewiston location was sold this year) they offer stellar produce and other food at exceptional prices. Blackie's grows some seasonal vegetables such as cucumbers, corn, lettuce, cabbage, carrots, and squash on the family farm in Minot. He also supplements his produce with other local growers (potatoes from the aforementioned Bell Farms or strawberries from Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, for example). More exotic fare, such as pineapples, or out-of-season fruits, veggies, and goods are bought wholesale.
3. Jillson's Farm and Sugarhouse
143 Jordan Bridge Road, Sabattus
www.jillsonfarm.com
Starting out in 1966 as a vegetable stand, and becoming a full blown farm in the late 1980's, Jillson's Farm and Sugarhouse grows veggies and flowers. But what they're probably most known for is their maple syrup. Members of the Maine Maple Producers, they tap 1700 trees in their area and are famous for their breakfasts on the farm. They also take part in local farmers markets.
4. Springworks Farm
347 Lisbon Street, Lisbon
www.springworksfarm.com
Springworks Farm was created by Bowdoin College undergrad Trevor Kenkel. It's a collective of family and friends who combine aquaponics and other sustainable farming methods to supply greens year round in a way that doesn't leave an environmental impact. The flagship farm in Lisbon, Maine, houses a 6,000 square foot aquaponic greenhouse, and plans for expansion. Visit the retail farm stand.
5. Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way for people to buy directly from a farmer. When a share is purchased, the customer gets a box or bag of seasonal farm products weekly.
Advantages for farmers:
Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin.
Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm's cash flow.
Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow.
Advantages for consumers:
Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits.
Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking.
Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season.
Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm including veggies they've never been known to eat.
Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown.
6. Local Farmer's Markets
www.goodfood4la.org
www.getrealmaine.com
www.mainefarmersmarkets.org/market
A farmers market is a public and recurring assembly of farmers or their representatives selling the food that they produced directly to consumers. Farmers markets facilitate personal connections and bonds of mutual benefits between farmers, shoppers, and communities. By cutting out middlemen, farmers receive more our food dollars and shoppers receive the freshest and most flavorful food in their area and local economies prosper. Each farmers market defines the term "local" according to the agriculture of its region and regularly communicates that definition to the public. Farmers markets also implement guidelines and operating rules that ensure the farmers market consists principally of farms selling directly to the public products that the farms have produced.
Blackie's Farm Fresh Produce
Norman "Blackie" Labbe likes to keep things simple and old school. Why change something if it still works? A character as famous as his farm stand, 86 year-old Blackie still works full time. Whether it's on the farm, or at his desk doing actual "paperwork" (no computers, just phones and fax), Blackie is working hard and keeping it real. He couldn't have done it without his equally diligent wife, Jacqueline, who still works some at the farm stand. The couple raised eight children, ran their farm, and ran the business together. A multiple-time survivor or cancer, Blackie just can't stay home from work.
In 2013, the old farm burned down on Christmas Day. (Eerily, 75 years to the day that the family's farm in Turner burned down). Matt Manson, honorary family member who has worked with the Labbes, said the 2013 fire was, "Like a blessing in disguise. That farm was very old. We'd split wood for them, then Blackie and his wife would have to feed the wood-burning furnace all winter. The new farm has a lot of updates to make it easier on them, including an oil furnace."
Blackie, himself, can still be found at his Auburn farm stand, mingling with customers. If he's not handing out lollipops to the little ones, he's joking with the customers. During corn season, most locals can quote Blackie by heart now. He's always reminding them, "Boil the corn for only five minutes!"
A Fresh Crop Grows at the Reopened Whiting Farm
By Dan Marois
A farm that closed its doors in 2013 has found new life and direction under a new owner.
The farm in question is Whiting Farm, an iconic local institution founded some eighty years ago. The Whiting family owned and operated the farm for many years mostly under the watchful guidance of brothers, Elmer and Buster.
Elmer Whiting closed the farm in the spring of 2013, following the death of his brother and after a medical condition worsened in his right hand. No family members stepped forward to continue the family farm.
Because of debts, Whiting was faced with having to sell the farm to buyers who would have developed the land rather than use it as a working farm. John F. Murphy Homes JFM) literally "bought the farm" and saved it from extinction.
The new owner is a nonprofit that houses, educates and supports people with physical and intellectual disabilities. JFM Chief Executive Officer, Peter Kowalski, said that the agency
purchased the farm with its 127 acres in December of 2013 for about $600,000.
Running the farm
Kim Finnerty, a former chemistry teacher at Edward Little High School, now serves as Whiting Farm Director for JFM Homes. She says the farm is an opportunity to continue the mission of the organization and to keep farming alive in the area.
"The farm will provide jobs and developmental programs for Murphy clients. Right now, we have two clients that are employees working in the greenhouses and farm stand and we have eight students from the school that visit once a week," said Finnerty. "It will also become a resource for anyone in the community who wants to learn about gardening and agriculture. We are so pleased that we are able to continue the legacy started by the Whitings by keeping the property as a working farm."
Finnerty became familiar with the Whiting Farm when she first brought her chemistry students from the high school there with the goal of teaching chemistry through agriculture.
"I simply used the farm as a classroom in the model of Maine Agriculture in the Classroom, a program that uses farming as a teaching resource," said Finnerty.
In her first year offering the program at the high school, she had 18 students participate. In the second year, 108 students signed up for the farm learning experience.
Elmer Whiting- volunteer
When JFM Homes acquired the farm, Finnerty left her teaching position to become the full-time leader of the farm and resident visionary of what might happen there. She's been fortunate to learn from Elmer Whiting, who volunteers at her side in just about every venture. She says that everything she's learned about farming comes from Elmer.
"Elmer is like a father to me," explains Finnerty. "He shares his knowledge and keeps the farming tradition alive."
The farm will become a combination of old and new ventures in the years ahead.
"We'll have mums in the fall. Poinsettias in the winter," said Finnerty. "In the greenhouses, visitors will find vegetable seedlings, tomato, basil, mint, cabbage and lettuce. There will be the array of hanging flower baskets, tables full of bright red geraniums, marigolds, asters, petunias and pansies."
Finnerty will continue to teach, but her students will be of all ages and backgrounds. "Eventually, the farm will have a very large educational aspect," she said, with visions that the community with thrive at the Whiting Farm.
"The University of Maine Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteers program provides participants with at least 40 hours of in-depth training in the art and science of horticulture," said Finnerty. "In return, trained Master Gardeners will volunteer their time and expertise for activities at Whiting Farm."
Planting seeds for more programs
Another project will involve the Somali Bantu Community Organization of Lewiston-Auburn, with members growing their own vegetables. "They come from a farming culture and will be working on 10 acres."
Finnerty said that plans are on tap for the Busy Bee Boxes program. "Customers can go online and place an order from the food stand and pay for it online. Then all people have to do is to drive to the stand and everything will be packaged for them in their own box and ready to go."
She envisions the Crock Pot Club where customers can pick up vegetables all cut and processed for crock pot cooking. "People can simply add their own protein to the mix."
"It would be nice to have our own café," adds Finnerty. "I can even see a farmer-in-training program in the summer."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 14, 2016) The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky invested more than $3.1 million in 2015 to address the unmet health care needs of Kentuckians through work on responsive health policy, funding research, grantmaking and gatherings of health policy leaders and advocates, according to the Foundation's annual report released today. Since it was founded in 2001, the Foundation has awarded nearly $25.5 million in grants.
The Foundation focused primarily on two initiatives, titled Promoting Responsive Health Policy and Investing in Kentucky's Future, while also hosting its biennial Data! Forum, its annual health policy gathering, the Howard L. Bost Memorial Health Policy Forum, which focused on building healthy places in 2015, and regular "Health for a Change" training workshops and webinars.
The Foundation funded work of the Kentucky Center for Smoke-free Policy, Kentucky Voices for Health, Kentucky Youth Advocates, Kentucky Population Health Institute and Kentucky Equal Justice Center. These organizations worked on a variety of issues, including advocating for a seamless health insurance coverage process for foster youth, increasing the number of Kentuckians protected by smoke-free ordinances, and outreach and support to local health departments in order for Kentucky to remain a national leader in accreditation.
Seven health coalitions across the Commonwealth are using grants from the Foundation, matched with local funding, to reduce the risk that today's school-aged children will develop chronic diseases as they grow into adults. Six of the coalitions – Partnership for a Healthy McLean County, Purchase Area Connections for Health, Fitness for Life Around Grant County, Breathitt County Health Planning Council for Children, Perry County Wellness Coalition, and Clinton County Healthy Hometown Coalition – are focused on reducing childhood obesity through changes to the communities' built environment, policies and systems. The seventh, Bounce Coalition in Jefferson County, is addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) through training for teachers and out-of-school time care providers.
In addition, the Foundation funded research to inform health policy, including the final stages of a study that pointed out both potential improvements as well as ongoing areas of concern under Medicaid Managed Care in Kentucky, and a second ongoing study regarding the impacts of the Affordable Care Act on access to and costs of care in Kentucky. The Foundation also jointly funded its annual Kentucky Health Issues Poll (KHIP) with Cincinnati-based Interact for Health; the 2015 KHIP study found, among other things, that fewer Kentucky adults were delaying or skipping medical care due to costs, and that a majority of Kentuckians favor tobacco-free schools and public places.
More than 40 organizations took advantage of the free conference and meeting space the Foundation provides to not-for-profits, who brought together more than 3,100 persons for training or strategy sessions and other gatherings. (c)space, the Foundation's coworking offices and open desks for those looking to share workspace with others who are passionate about improving the health and quality of life in Kentucky, served 10 members, including Kentucky Voices for Health, Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, Kentucky Environmental Foundation, and Welcoming America.
Copies of the annual report, as well as presentations and webinars from Foundation meetings and forums, are available on the Foundation's website at http://healthy-ky.org.


Thailand's largest island and its hip capital offer an intoxicating blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage.
One of the oldest settlements in Thailand, Phuket was a relatively small port until the early 1900s. Attracting businessmen and merchants from China, Portugal, and even the Arabian Peninsula, Phuket flourished as a vibrant trade center in the 20th century. Today, the old town is lined with distinctive Sino-Portuguese buildings, giving a glimpse into the city's proud past, while hip coffee shops, conceptual galleries, and boutique hotels are popping up to cater to the recent influx of artists and musicians. From this increasingly cosmopolitan city, it's easy to head out to the island's beautiful beaches, lush jungle, or go island hopping in Thailand's most picturesque coastal landscape.


With the end of Paris Fashion Week and the big four, we round up our favourite runway looks that have won us over from Chanel to Miu Miu.
We have reached the end of the big four but don't fret, we still have Tokyo and Seoul Fashion Week to look forward to. The last day of Paris Fashion Week ended off with some of the biggest names in fashion: Chanel, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton. These fashion brands ended the big four with some pretty iconic and memorable collections that we totally have our eyes on.
The Chanel runway was decorated with autumnal leaves as models snaked around woody trees that lined the catwalk. Other than the usual tweed coats, we fell in love with the old-school Hollywood slip dresses paired with hot pink gloves. Miu Miu was sure to make a statement in 60s coats, sweaters, and the beehive hair-do. Elle Fanning even made an appearance on the runway clad in a tan coat, thick eyeliner, and a quiff. The second to last show for the night and season was Louis Vuitton's space-inspired show. Instead of their dad sneakers, the brand refined this collection with skirt suits and models rocking one glove on their bag hand.
With the end of Paris Fashion Week, we look back on all the shows and the looks that have won us over. Scroll through the gallery for our favourite picks of the Fall/Winter 2018 runways.


Int. J. Agron. Agri. Res. 9(6), 33-43, December 2016.
Although the oat crop is an important forage crops by many countries to face the problem of lacking forage to feed livestock, it still is not popular in southern Iraq. Establishing oat productivity, especially in southern Iraq needs to limit the best genotypes and planting dates in this area. Thus, factorial experiment arranged in randomized complete block design to understand response of three oat genotype (Wallaro, Carrolup and Wild) in four planting dates (20-10, 1-11, 10-11, and 20-11) at two locations (Thi-Qar and Al-Muthana). Plant height, flag leave area, chlorophyll content (SPAD), period of physiological maturity day-1, wet and dry forage yield t ha-1, grains yield t ha-1 and its components (number of panicles m-2, number of grains panicle-1, and weight of 100 grains g-1), and the grains protein percentage observed as crop related measurements. All these traits significantly differed among the genotypes and affected by the planting dates. Significant responding of forage and grains yield to planting date found, and the highest wet and dry forage yield obtained from Wallaro and Carrolup genotypes sowing at the second planting date at both locations. Grains yield was 6.88 and 7.03 t ha-1 for Wallaro genotype planted at the second planting date at Thi-Qar and Al-Muthana locations respectively. Thus, adopting oat crop in this area needs to focus on planning date, especially from first to mid-November with using Wallaro genotype for grain production and Carrolupas a forage crop.
