Mike Egebrecht, a former wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, received his bachelor's and master's degree in personal training. Egebrecht is Heritage's strength and conditioning coach, as well as an assistant football coach. He's here full-time this year, working with PACE students during the day.
Egebrecht began working with a few teams last year, but it wasn't until this summer that he started Monday-Thursday strengthening workouts with many of the sports. He caters to what skills each sport requires.
"Some lifts were all general but many were specific. A baseball player doesn't need to get bulky like a football player, so many of their lifts look different. This is the first time we've had that," says Athletic Director Brock Becker.
Before the school year even starts, athletes devote their mornings to these training programs and others.
"Before the season we have pre-season training which happens four times a week in the morning around 6. We have one hour of weights and then one hour of open gym," says volleyball player Zoe Bibb '20.
Cross country runners had 10 weeks of summer practices which included different workouts and runs depending on the day, followed by weight training.
"We had to do weight training right after practice so when we were super sore we would do light workouts or just stretch. But other times they were pretty hard with a lot of balance and strength for what a cross country runner needs," says runner Kara Sears '18.

Monday Map (A Day Late): Denver to Aspen
I spent the 3-day weekend outside in the mild air and rich autumn colors, away from the television, the radio, the internet, politics. It was a refreshing and much needed break.

Ahh.. a break from all that. Good for you. I can't wait till November so I can relax about politics. I feel that this election is so important that I have a hard time not following it closely. Really stresses me out.
Maybe I need another painting trip. I did not follow the news for the whole 10 days.

Thanks, Alicia!
And thanks, Gretel. Yes, hard to remember sometimes how necessary that time is. Hey-- I really like your idea of gathering berries and making your own wine. Now that looks relaxing! ;-)
Thanks, Frank. Wow-- how did you manage to go 10 whole days? I'm totally stressed by it, too, yet am compelled to watch. I really hope we have some good news on November 5th...

Billboard in Times Square warns of fake medicines online
Fight the Fakes partners the Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies (CSIP) and the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies (ASOP) have launched a 520ft2 billboard in Times Square, New York, warning consumers to be vigilant when purchasing medicines online.
The ad, which will run through Jan 2015, highlights that 97% of online pharmacies in the US are illegal, and do not comply with US laws and standards. Purchasing medicines from these illegitimate websites is effectively, "gambling with your life".

the Crown. According to this view, a rejection of the Bill by the Lords might be held either to amount to a want of confidence in the Government, or to a breach of the loyal trust which the different branches of the Constitution must practically be able to repose in one another. Again (2) the recognised, though rarely resorted to, practice of forcing the opinion of the Lords' House by the multiplication of Peers, so often as the exigencies of the Government demand it, is a precedent which at least suggests that the Crown assumes to have a control over the votes of the Upper House of a kind which might well justify the use of a far less inconvenient and unpopular machinery. Nor is this practice of commanding the votes of the Lords in favour of the policy of the Crown by a large creation of Peers a less real part of the Constitution, because it has been resorted to, actually or by threat, only in seasons of great political discord, and discloses a feature of the Constitution which it is difficult to barmonise with the recognised independence of the different branches of the Legislature, and which, if it reappears in the future, will take more and more the character of a revolutionary act, and less and less that of an orderly constitutional process."
I See Hallam's discussion of the Peerage Bill, introduced by Sunderland under George I. for limiting the House of Lords, after a few more creations, to its actual numbers, carried with ease in the Upper House, but rejected by the Commons. In summing up the arguments pro and con in reference to the unlimited prerogative of augmenting the Peerage, Mr. Hallam says that while in the opinion of some, whether erroneous or not, the prerogative bas actually been exerted with too little discretion, the arguments against any legal limitation seem more decisive than the reasoning the other way. "The Crown has been carefully restrained by Statutes, and .by the responsibility of its advisers; the Commons, if they trans"gress their boundaries are annihilated by a proclamation; but
In these cursory remarks on the constitutional aspects of the controversy which arose out of the Royal Warrant for the Abolition of Purchase in the Army, it need scarcely be said that no argument is offered or involved as to the political expediency of the step in question, or as to what may be called the moral propriety of giving, through the medium of a fresh precedent, renewed weight to an already threatening advantage which the Executive Government has acquired over each House of Parliament, and especially over the House of Lords.
Some years afterwards, on May 13, 1879, Mr. Gladstone himself, in the course of a speech on another subject, incidentally and briefly gave an account of the transaction from his own point of view. In answer to some members who in the course of the current debate had severely condemned the exercise of the prerogative, he said: 'I have not the smallest objection to that con• demnation, if their minds lead them to that judgment Mr. Gladstone on Army Purchase.
(against the ambition, or, what is much more likely, the perverse • haughtiness of the aristocracy, the Constitution has not furnished • such direct securities. . . . It is true that the resource of subduing • an aristocratical faction by the creation of new peers could never • be constitutionally employed except in the case of a nearly equal • balance ; but it might usefully hang over the heads of the whole ·body, and deter them from any gross excesses of faction or oligar.
chical spirit.'-Hallam, Const. Hist.chap. xvi. See also Parliamentary History, vii. 589. The history of this Bill, and of the later exercise and threatened exercise of the prerogative in the matter, sufficiently proves the existence of the prerogative itself. Mr. Hallam does not seem to advert to the fact that, inasmuch as it is in effect the Go. vernment who create new peers, and the House of Commons who create the Government, the prerogative is rather a mark of the ascendency of the House of Commons over the House of Lords than an independent constitutional check on political extravagance on the part of the Lords.
• upon an important action taken at an important crisis. But I did not detect from the speeches of either or both gentlemen that they were in the slightest degree aware of the ground of that exercise of the prerogative. Now, the ground of that exercise of the prerogative was this—and it is necessary that • there should now be said what was said at the time, but apparently it has not found a place in the recollection
of either of them. The ground for the exercise of that • prerogative was this: It had been brought to the • knowledge not only of the Government, but of Parlia'ment and of the entire community, that there was
bound up with the working of the system of purchase ' a system of flagrant illegality-an illegality in many • instances mixed up with personal complications, but sat any rate an illegality of the nature and character
of which there was not the slightest doubt-an il• legality which was imbedded in the system of extra
regimental prices for commissions; and that system was inseparable from the system of purchase. It was " to put a stop to an illegality, and for no other purpose, that the prerogative of the Crown was exercised.'
As an interesting contrast to the view here presented of the circumstances and prospects of the House of Lords, a short extract may be inserted from a letter of Lord Macaulay's, when Member of Parliament for Leeds. The letter is dated from the House of Commons, June 6, 1833. Referring to a vote of censure on June 3, in reference to the Portuguese policy of the Ministry, carried by the Duke of Wellington in the Lords' House by a majority of 79 votes to 69, and in immediate anticipation of a counter-resolution which was carried in the Commons on the 6th (the date of the letter) by 361 votes to 98, Lord Macaulay writes as follows: "You know that the Lords have been foolish • enough to pass a vote implying censure on the Ministers. · The Ministers do not seem inclined to take it of them. • The King has snubbed their Lordships properly; and • in about an hour, as I guess (for it is near eleven), we • shall have come to a Resolution in direct opposition to that agreed to by the Upper House. Nobody seems
to care one straw for what the Peers say about any • public matter. A Resolution of the Court of Common • Council, or of a meeting at Freemasons' Hall, has often • made a greater sensation than this declaration of a • branch of the Legislature against the Executive • Government. The institution of the Peerage is evi• dently dying a natural death.'?
A further and more instructive contrast, because arising from events of later date and more momentous importance, is supplied by the conduct of the Duke of Wellington in 1846, at the close of the three nights' discussion in the House of Lords on the Repeal of the Corn Laws. The Duke said that "the Bill for the • Repeal of the Corn Laws had already been agreed to by • the other two branches of the Legislature;' that under these circumstances there was an end of the functions 6 of the House of Lords;' and that they had only to comply with the project sent up to them, "a sentiment,' says Lord Beaconsfield, in his "Life of Lord George • Bentinck,''the bearing of which seems not easy to dis
tinguish from the vote of the Long Parliament which • openly abrogated those functions.'?

The House of Commons.
The modifications which have been made in the composition and quality of the House of Commons are of a far more distinct and unmistakable character than those just adverted to in the case of the Lords. These modifications are expressed in well-known Acts of Parliament, carried after long discussion in and out of the two Houses, and the operation of which has since been iucessantly and minutely scanned for purposes of political calculation or conjecture. The Reform Act of 1832 had for its object mainly the remedy of staring abuses, such as not even the most persistent stickler for adberence to the forms of the older English Constitution could honestly defend. The Act of 1867, and the tentative measures which prepared the way for it, though also directed to the remedying of abuses, were still more designed to bring the recognised Constitution into harmony with needs and occasions to which only very recent times had given birth.
Two principles have contended for supremacy in all attempts to reform the composition of the House of Commons; and the actual history of the country has exhibited a certain amount of deference to both principles simultaneously. One principle has been that of the representation of indefinite groups of the population, and the other that of the representation of individual persons. Bearing in mind the feudal history of county representation, and what may be called the municipal history of borough representation, and the history of the various special franchises which have grown out of these two, or side by side with them, it is well at once to dismiss the idea that in England it has ever been recognised as part of the Constitution that an

Even by Manchester City's standards, Saturday was quite a statement.
At the start of the week, the defending champions were supposedly in crisis – falling five points behind Liverpool after the shock of being beaten at Norwich, then losing one of their two remaining fit senior centre-halves to injury.
It was only one defeat but suddenly there were major doubts about City's defending and, with it, their prospects this season were supposedly fading fast.
For some observers, it was easy to see what had gone wrong – they should have replaced Vincent Kompany, they would not cope without Aymeric Laporte and now John Stones too, and, even in mid-September, they had already conceded too much ground in a title race where even the smallest margins matter.
At least, that is how the discussions went. Typically, Pep Guardiola's side reacted by silencing their critics, and in emphatic style.
Wednesday's 3-0 away Champions League win over Shakhtar Donetsk was an impressive start, in what was City's toughest fixture in Group C.
Watford were next. But while the visit of the bottom-of-the-table Hornets on Saturday was expected to be straightforward enough, nobody anticipated the total destruction that followed.
Even Guardiola, who is notoriously hard to please, admitted his side were a "joy to watch" in their 8-0 victory, their biggest in the league in his time at City.
There are tougher tests to come, of course, but this was exactly the response he was looking for – and a message to Liverpool too.
The Reds can restore their advantage at the top by beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but they will go into that game knowing City are back at their best, and on their tail again.
'The important thing is how we react'
We have seen before that City know how to deal with defeats, no matter how rarely they happen.
After their only previous Premier League loss in 2019, against Newcastle on 29 January, they responded by winning all 15 of their remaining league games to clinch the title.
That run demonstrated City's resolve and mental strength – this week has just been another example.
"People still don't understand – journalists, pundits, former players – that losing games is part of life," Guardiola said after his side had taken Watford apart.
"Opponents always deserve respect. The same feeling I have now, I had after Norwich, so it was not a bad performance last week.
"We can lose the games, but the important thing is the approach and how we react."
City play with a point to prove
Right from the start on a sunny afternoon at Etihad Stadium, City played like they had a point to prove.
Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores neatly summed up his side's painful afternoon afterwards, saying "after 30 seconds we realised it would be tough, after 10 minutes really difficult and after 50 minutes it was impossible".
Some City fans were not in the stadium by the time David Silva slid his side ahead inside the first minute, and with five goals to celebrate, none of them were ever in their seats for long in the first 18 minutes of the match.
"It is not normal to score five goals with five shots like we did," Guardiola said afterwards. "But the quality of the players up front made a difference."
They certainly did. Even without Raheem Sterling, who was rested and left on the bench after previously playing every minute of the season, City were in unstoppable mood.
With Kevin de Bruyne pulling the strings, Bernardo Silva and David Silva turning on the style and Sergio Aguero finding space behind the Watford defence, more chances and goals followed.
In truth, City should have ended up with more than eight given the barrage they launched on the Watford goal – it was easy to lose count of the opportunities they spurned, but Aguero missed the target when clean through and hit the post with a header, while Riyad Mahrez also nodded against the woodwork.
Even so, it was a sign of the appetite of this City side that they were pushing forward for more goals in the final minutes, apparently without knowing that they were close to the Premier League record win, Manchester United's 9-0 demolition of Ipswich in 1995.
Guardiola was seemingly unaware of it afterwards, saying: "I didn't know the record. Who is it? They deserve it, congratulations."
Positives at the back for City too
As formidable as City's attack was, they were far from flawless at the back, the way Gerard Deulofeu danced past Nicolas Otamendi to force a fine save from Ederson with the score at 1-0 being a case in point.
But there were still positives to take from their defensive display, and not just because they emerged with another clean sheet.
Guardiola gave more game-time to Otamendi and Fernandinho together, his first-choice pairing at the back for the foreseeable future, and was able to bring highly rated teenage defender Eric Garcia off the bench for his Premier League debut too.
The 18-year-old Spaniard replaced Otamendi for the final 30 minutes, will start against Preston in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, and looks set to play a bigger role in the coming weeks, whether City get more injuries or not.
He seems to have impressed his manager, even before he stepped on to the pitch.
"Eric is so clever," Guardiola said afterwards. "I did not know before the game whether Watford would play four or five at the back, but he came and told me after the warm-up that they had made movements with a four.
"He was the guy who was looking at the opponent and paid incredible attention. He played well and with the problems we have at the back, he is going to play a lot of minutes because I trust him a lot."

Driven by Fun. Article about the Goodwood Festival and track day in Shanghai.
By Mark Andrews
Audi Magazine Hong Kong. Winter 2016
Baking hot asphalt and blue skies provided a glorious two days for the Audi Sport Festival at the end of July. Hot action on the track and exciting motoring exhibits at the Goodwood Carnival attracted a crowd of 25,000 to the Shanghai International Circuit. The weekend saw the second round of the China GT series, with races three and four. Audi R8s made up a quarter of the 24-car field.
The R8 V10 Coupé Performance is as close as most people will get to the GT3 standard R8 LMS used in the China GT championship. A fiery-red example was on display in the Audi Sport tent along with all the champions. This car is the backbone of the Audi Driving Experience.

Michael Jackson Game Unlike Any Other?
July 12, 2009 at 1:50 PM Leave a comment
A new Michael Jackson game was confirmed earlier this morning, but very few details about the project were released. Now it's revealed the game was to be as big as one of Jackson's albums.
David Perry, a legendary game designer (Earthworm Jim, Wild 9), told IGN he was working with Jackson on the new project and that the singer was hoping to capture a new audience.
"I was working with Michael on an idea to release a brand new album as a game. It was one of those "big" ideas and would have introduced millions of new players to the video game industry, that was the goal," Perry said.
"He was going to help promote it on a grand scale. We worked on a design and I even brought an industry friend up there to Neverland to help with the work. The timing was terrible however as this was when the 2nd round of allegations happened and everything went to a standstill.
Perry would continue on say he was thrilled to have been a part of the project and is glad the game will eventually see a release.
"That said, I'm really honored to have spent time with the guy, any gamer would get along with him, he really loved the same kind of stuff we do. I also was lucky as I was given free roam of Neverland and have played even his Moonwalker arcade machine, and watched movies in his theater," Perry added.
"I'm really happy to hear there's a game coming, it's sad he won't be able to really promote his love of gaming when it launches."

text: Though I don't mind the occasional poisoned cookie caper, I'm not an avid fan of occupational cozies. So I had to be cajoled into sampling Marla Cooper's debut yarn about Kelsey McKenna, a hapless San Francisco wedding planner tasked with guiding a destination nuptial in San Miguel de Allende. As adaptable and capable as she is, Kelsey gets stuck with a murdered bridesmaid, an innocent but imprisoned sister of the bride, a priest who may not be what he seems, a semi-boyfriend who may not be what he seems (it's hard to avoid spoilers), several brain-dead Mexican policemen, and, worst of all, a mother-of-the-bride who is as supercilious as she is demanding. The book has the funniest dialogue this side of TV's iZombie, thanks in part to Kelsey's snark, not to mention the equally snarky ripostes from her sidekick, a gay wedding photographer. Happily, reader Romy Nordlinger is able to capture every nuance of narrator Kelsey's shifting attitudes. All in all, a very engaging package that has me eager to check out Kelsey's next caper, Dying on the Vine, in 2017.

A Lighting Design for a 24/7 Student Center
May 22, 2011
After months of non-stop work I'm happy to report that I'm officially halfway done with grad school! Hooray! I present to you here the reason for my apparent disappearance off the face of the Earth, my final Lighting Studio 2 project, a daylighting and electric lighting design for a 24/7 student center. This was an absolutely enormous project that involved not only lighting a building but designing that building, architecturally, from the ground up. The entire project was completed in just over 10 weeks.

Video: Single Finger Pinch Zooming on N8
Ever come across this bug? Is it a bug? If I knew how to activate it, I'd find it really useful if I were using the N8 one handed and needed to zoom in.
I do miss spiral zooming on N900. As odd as that looked.
As for now, it's a random spontaneous thing.
It disappears the moment you pinch/zoom properly (thus also allowing you to pan around the page)
Random photo I took was during student protest in London yesterday about rising tuition fees in UK and Uni bugdet cuts to education. No I wasn't a part of it as much as I'd love to be there with fellow students. I was heading for an E7 event and as soon as I got into the train station – bang I'm marching with protesters.
My favourite signs was "Tory – puts the N in cuts".
December 1, 2010 at 10:32 am
umm. .private video?
December 1, 2010 at 12:33 pm
I have seen this happening with my N8 many times.. I just thought maybe there is some feature that I don't know anything about it. Maybe it's just bug.
December 1, 2010 at 12:44 pm
With the update, single-finger pinch-to-zoom seems to work constantly and perfectly. It might be an intended feature but failed miserably in the early software release.
December 1, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Hmm, I haven't got any experience with Maemo (or any that matters at least) but for as far as I heard the spiral zoom works pretty good. With the patent stuff related to PtoZ that would be a great alternative.
But I guess PtoZ has become more exceptable and thus more marketable. We will see!
December 1, 2010 at 3:18 pm
yeah, i too faced this bug many times. its annoying
December 2, 2010 at 2:08 pm
Happens with mine, too!
Sometimes when I double-tap a pic to fully zoom it, the screen goes black as well. I have to exit the photo gallery and then come back to it.

Placing aside their competitive instincts for what has been described as an industry-first collaboration, a collection of vendors partnered with Queensland Health and the CSIRO to demonstrate "the art of what's possible" for health delivery through integrated technology.
More than 25 industry partners, including Intel, AWS, VMWare and SAP, joined in working together to create the Customer Experience Centre at the Queensland Health eHealth Expo, showcasing the possibilities for cooperative digital health.
The installation simulated end-to-end care for hospitalised patients by demonstrating the technology intersecting throughout the care journey from hospital admission to critical care, diagnosis, treatment, discharge and in the home.
"To me, it's an industry first," chief customer experience officer at eHealth Queensland Michael Berndt said.
"I haven't seen this done before, where we're collaboratively working with the vendor community and coming together to showcase the art of what's possible for health care delivery."
Virtual reality, artificial intelligence and precision medicine technologies were included within the mix, as were digital productivity and hospital optimisation tools.
Berndt said he was surprised by the reaction from industry, with companies quick to sign up to take part and a real excitement in the lead up to the event.
"That's the most surprising thing. Once we spoke about the opportunity, I was absolutely blown away by the support from vendors."
For Berndt, the expo demonstration signals a new direction in collaboration.
"This may be happening at a conference but the idea is that it becomes a part of the process. That rather than competition there is this level of collaboration even in providing solutions to governments."
Martin Burger, senior industry advisor for healthcare at enterprise application software company SAP Australia, said the Customer Experience Centre showed that cooperation was a solution to the interoperability challenge.
He said the "chasm" between companies could mean they are unaware that their products complement each other.
"The problem is to get all those different solutions and applications working together and making an impact and outcome for our customers like Queensland Health," he said.
"We are all customers to someone like a Queensland Health. They want us to work together so if we come together, get our side working, exchange the synergies, all of us win because we get to the place quicker and Queensland Health gets a better outcome."
Burger said it could lead to a reformation in the way companies sell their products.
"It could very much become a blueprint that when we go to other events we come closer together and maybe even at some point we will go to the customer basically hand in hand.
"Otherwise the customer needs to have a meeting with vendor A and vendor B. It costs time and you have to repeat the same information and sometimes it gets lost."
Ideally the momentum will grow, Burger said, and industry will drive collaboration as a way to overcome one of digital health's great challenges.
"Nobody can do this alone. If we partner, if we find the right combinations and get in there and take the competitiveness out of it, I think it'll be much easier to find a way to get there and catch up with the other industries in regards to digitisation and going forward with that."
Participants in the Customer Experience Centre were:
HOSPITAL OPTIMISATION: AI Brisbane, Aginic, CSIRO, Five Faces, Acclario, Healthshare.
DIGITAL PRODUCTIVITY: VMware, Data#3, KJR.
CRITICAL CARE: AWS, IntelliHQ, TechConnect.
ENGAGING PATIENTS WITH VIRTUAL REALITY: Oceanic Studios, Surgical Theatre, Beat Saber.

Is there a Link between Diet and Stress?
It might not occur to you that there is a link between stress and what you eat. It's an important connection not just because being stressed can make you eat in a certain way, but because diet does have an influence over your recovery.
So what is this link between diet and stress?
When you become over-stressed you will have a tendency to eat either too much or too little. Doing either of these messes with your blood glucose levels. This can lead to mood swings, which in turn can cause your stress to intensify.
There is also an urge to eat unsuitable foods, such as those that are loaded with salt, sugar or fat. The so-called comfort foods. These are not good for us when we're feeling fine, so when our digestive system has slowed down due to the release of stress hormones they become problematic.
They don't provide the nutrient content your body needs to cope with the stress and normal body functioning, and they can cause side effects like indigestion and heartburn to add to your troubles.
Your immune system is affected as well. In stressful moments it weakens, leaving you vulnerable to illness and disease. Your body cannot fully fight against exposure to bacteria or viruses that can negatively impact your health.
Your first line of defense in fighting the ravages of stress is to keep your body as healthy as possible. You do this by fueling your body in the best way possible – with what you eat.
You need to eat foods that are rich in the nutrients your body needs for normal functioning, so that it is better placed to fight the harmful effects of stress; and you also need to avoid foods that can have a detrimental effect on your condition.
Food Types That Help You Fight the Effects of Stress
It's not always easy to eat a completely balanced diet especially when we are stressed, but by picking stress-busting foods to eat, we can make a positive step towards reducing our stress levels. The important foods to concentrate on are natural plant foods.
It's possible that some of these stress-relieving foods will not work for everyone. Just try as many as you can and see how they help your condition.
Just remember that these foods will help the physical needs of your body by providing the nutrient value that is depleted by stress.
The foods to concentrate on are complex carbohydrates. Carbs have an important role in the production of serotonin, the "feel-good" chemical produced by the body.
Complex carbohydrates are technically dietary starches that are rich in fiber and therefore healthy – the good carbs – whereas simple carbs are sugars and known as the bad carbs. Complex carbs are commonly found in natural foods such as grains, beans and vegetables.
These plant foods are rich in the vitamin and mineral nutrients that your body needs for normal functioning, including tryptophan, an amino acid necessary for the production of serotonin. The body digests and absorbs complex carbohydrates slower than simple carbs, and this tends to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Green Leaf Vegetables
Leafy greens are full of fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. You can never eat too much of them.
Five of the healthiest dark green vegetables are broccoli, kale, romaine lettuce, spinach, and Swiss chard. These vegetables, identifiable by their dark green color, are rich in antioxidants and usually have large amounts of phytochemicals. Whenever possible eat these foods in their natural, fresh form and not processed. They are easily prepared in salads or homemade smoothies
Fruit, like vegetables, contain a wealth of important vitamins and minerals which aid the body in many ways, including giving a boost to the immune system. Although they are simple carbohydrates, the sugars they contain are natural, unrefined and provide a good form of energy and we should not go without them.
They are rich in soluble dietary fiber which helps reduce cholesterol, and is good for the digestive system. Fiber intake also helps keep your bowels healthy.
Fruits make a good snack food as they are natural sugars that break down easily, and provide an instant source of energy.
Fish Oil
Fish oil contains the essential Omega-3 fatty acid that isn't produced by the body and which needs to come from dietary sources. It helps with serotonin uptake in the brain. Serotonin lifts your mood and enables your brain to cope better with stress.
Omega-3 fatty acids also help reduce cholesterol levels and inflammation, so they are good for your heart health which is also affected by stress. They are recommended by nutritionists.
You can get this essential oil by eating certain kinds of fresh oily fish, such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, but if you are not a great fish eater you will need to buy fish oil supplements instead.
Nuts & Seeds
Nuts help you maintain your proper blood sugar level. They also contain plenty of the vitamin B complex, which combats fatigue.
Nuts and seeds are a rich source of healthy Omega fats which are beneficial to your cardiovascular health. Almonds, pistachio and walnuts together with pumpkin, sesame, flax and sunflower seeds, may help reduce bad cholesterol levels in the blood and protect against cardiovascular disease. Additionally, almonds are a good source of Vitamin E and B, and walnuts are rich in magnesium which helps to reduce stress.
The more natural food you eat the more real benefit your body will gain from it.
What to Avoid
In times of stress it is best to avoid alcohol, candy, coffee, energy drinks, junk food and sodas. Keep away from all processed foods as much as possible. Processing removes much of the nutrient value, and often adds in too much fat, sugar and salt.
Avoid drinking coffee from mid-afternoon onwards. It takes anything up to ten hours to clear your system, depending on your metabolism, and can keep you awake at night.
Spicy foods should also be avoided at times of stress because of slowed metabolism.
Although having a healthy diet is very important in managing stress successfully, remember the other natural remedies you should take as well to manage your situation.
- Ensure you get an adequate amount of sleep.
- Make room in your daily schedule for some relaxation time.
- Become more physically active. Home exercise can be quick simple and effective.
- Don't take on more work than you can handle. Learn to say No.
As you can see, there is indeed a link between diet and stress. Manage your stress better by eating in a way that supports your nutritional needs, and your body will be better placed to fight the physical effects of stress.

Punjab and Haryana High Court (File)
Taking a strong note of a Faridabad court's failure in awarding appropriate sentence to a convict for rape of a four-year-old, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered that the appeal of the convict be listed for arguments within six months. While the law provided for a minimum punishment of 10 years imprisonment and maximum life, the trial court had sentenced the convict only to seven years rigorous imprisonment.
"The court below has totally lost sight of these provisions and rather has convicted the applicant to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years. In view of the heinousness of the offence and seriousness of allegations and the claim of applicant's counsel that he is behind bars for more than four yeas is no extenuating circumstance," Justice Fateh Deep Singh has said in an order while dismissing the prayer for suspension of sentence.
The convict, Dharambir alias Dharma, had been found guilty of commission of offence under Section 342, 363, 376 IPC and Section 4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 in 2015 by the Sessions Court, Faridabad. In the case registered in 2014, the 28-year-old Faridabad man was accused of raping a minor. He had approached the high court seeking suspension of sentence till passing of final decision of his appeal pending since 2017. In 2018 too, the high court had declined to suspend his sentence considering the age of the victim.
Observing that the crime for which Dharambir been found guilty constitutes an offence under POCSO Act as well as the IPC and therefore the convict is liable to a punishment under the provision of law, which is greater in degree, Justice Singh in the verdict said the the record reveals the victim happens to be a minor girl aged four years at the time of commission of the offence.
"In the un-amended India Penal Code, Section 376 under Section (2) Clause (i) (prior to its omission) and Clause (j), prescribes that whosoever commits rape on a woman when she is under 16 years of age; or on a woman incapable of giving consent, shall be punished with rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than 10 years, but which may extend to imprisonment for life, which shall mean imprisonment for the remainder of that person's natural life, and shall be liable to fine," reads the order.

Oh heyyyy, Manifest is finally back after a month hiatus. Which, might I say, isn't that bad. I am used to the 3-month-long hiatuses that Once Upon a Time used to do, which were TORTURE. This episode was CRAY-Z. Things are heating up and getting real messy this half of the season. It's all getting worse before it gets better.
To trust or not to trust
The passengers are all in a safe haven at Fiona's friend's house, but some are not too excited about it. The Captian, mainly. He is struggling with who to trust, but can we blame him? I wouldn't trust anyone at this point, especially some of these coincidences. Something seems fishy. I always had my suspicions about Fiona, and maybe I'm right to be suspicious about her.
Also, what is up with this Autumn chick? Even though she threw her phone in the water, I wouldn't put too much faith in her. If she's against the rest of the passengers to begin with, I doubt she's so quick to change her tune. She's evil, so I'm guessing she knows how to throw people off their track.
Goodbyes and hellos
The episodes starts on a more somber note with Michaela visiting her mom at her grave. She tells her mom that she's getting her life back. Yes, Michaela, you go girl! It's time to start living again. Although, we all know it's probably not going to be easy. We also see Ben say goodbye to Vance, who I am still upset died!
Micheala says hello to her feelings for Jared. I'm not going to lie, I have mixed feelings about them as a couple. I like them as a police duo, but beyond that, I am not for them starting up their romantic relationship again. I think Jared decided to move on and has. At this point, he'll end up hurting her. LOVE TRAINGLES ARE COMPLICATED.
Michaela is also introduced to new callings. This time, she's seeing a snowy landscape with the words "save her" in her mind. I have no idea what that's about. Seems like this callings won't be letting up anytime soon. Cal is also experiencing this same calling.
All these love triangles
Feelings are in the air! After Jared tells Lourdes that he wants to take some time to recover before him and her try to get pregnant, it gets a little tense. Seeing as Jared most likely has feelings for Michaela still, I'm sure awkwardness is to be abound. And when she tells him she doesn't want to work with him anymore, we get that answer.
Speaking of akward tension, Ben and Grace's relationship is exactly that. They're both not right, but I think Grace isn't right for another reason. That reason being Danny, and that was evident by Olive seeking him out to make her mom happy again.
I cannot lie, you guys, I don't ship Jared and Michaela. I don't ship Grace and Ben. However, I do ship Grace and Danny, which is weird because I don't care what happens to Grace, to be honest. They can jjust be together, whatever, I don't care.
Things are getting worse before they get better
Grace isn't too happy Olive brought Danny to their home. Then Ben walks in to them fighting, and that's when things get heart breaking. Grace and Danny tell Ben that everyone had moved on. Too far, too far. That's so unfair to Ben. Like, he didn't get a chance to move on because it was still fresh. I am Team Ben ALL THE WAY. He doesn't deserve to be treated like he's some man who just walked into their life.
Turns out the break between Michaela and Jared doesn't last long, and I am not for it. They end up hooking up. I am not a fan of a cheating storyline, so I hope there's something to remedy that. Sorry, not sorry for that unpopular opinion! The fall out is going to be bad. Poor Lourdes, though.
Also, Ben has resorted to actually going on the podcast that he didn't want to go on. So there's all that. And who the heck is major?!
Madeline's musings
- I can't believe Ben just asked if podcasts were "still a thing." Like, dude, come on. Welcome to the world of digital journalism.
- I think Jared and Lourdes should just stay together; I think he's moved on, and Michaela deserves better than him. That's the tea.
- Flip phones lol
- I don't trust ANYONE. I think Autumn knows someone is watching, so she's being smart about her evilness.
- Ben's glasses are a blessing to this world.
- I'm gonna say it: I like Danny's relationship with Olive.
- Those people wanting to touch the passengers, get away.
- Autumn caughhhhhtttttttt. OH SHOOT.
- Did I mention Ben's glasses?
Phew. What an episode. There's no guessing what will transpire this half of the season. Maybe we'll get soem answers; maybe we won't get anything. One thing I do know is that it's going to get even messier! Here for it. What did you think? Sound off below or tweet us your reactions!

Hey not sure what to watch this week on the small screen? No worries #SetTheVCR is here to help you make some of those decisions easier. Each week Sammy Younan and I will give you our picks for each day of the coming week. Please note – enjoyment NOT guaranteed.
All times are Eastern Standard Time so please adjust for your time zone.
Wash your hands! Avoid unnecessary large group outings, stay in and watch TV. We are here to help you out each day through your days inside. Now to our picks. No, you are not experiencing deja vu Sammy and I actually picked the same show on some nights. Have no fear we did differ as well so there is still a good selection for you to choose from.
Yet again Mr. Green and I agree on the same tv shows. It's weird and I am sorry. We will try to be more different; less Tomax and Xamot in the future. For now… here are some tv recommendations.
Monday, March 16
This Is Personal (
Supernatural (8pm / CW) – NEW NIGHT! It has felt like forevvvveeeerrrr since we got to see the Winchesters in action. However, that is over as they return now on their new night. They got their mojo back and now its time to get back to finding a way to defeat GOD aka Chuck. I still really liked seeing Sam & Dean have to struggle with being regular normal humans. This week also has Billie back on the show and that is always good times especially when Death seems to know something about what's going on and play a part in it. (Mr. Green)
Tuesday, March 17
Niall Ferguson's Networld (
Niall Ferguson's Networld (8pm / PBS) – The first of two picks by Sammy and myself this week. Niall Ferguson goes in-depth about social networks both modern and ancient. While I will no doubt find it endlessly fascinating I doubt that I will be truly surprised or shocked by its content. The people who should be watching it are the people who LIVE on social platforms like Facebook and Twitter, even 4Chan or its less reputable offspring 8Chan. People allow these stories to infect their minds because of a few simple narrative/graphic tricks people always fall for. (Mr. Green)
Wednesday, March 18
True Terror With Robert Englund (10pm / Travel) – Many X-Files episodes began with a Mulder slideshow while Scully sat there all skeptical and sighing. I suspect True Terror With Robert Englund will be like a Mulder slideshow just with reenactments instead of slides. "In each episode, Englund uses his ominous tones and creepy charisma to masterfully weave together a trilogy of spine-tingling tales, guided by newspaper accounts and layered with commentary from historians and experts that prove that truth is always stranger than fiction." Ok then. And… after you've seen what you've seen are you Mulder or are you Scully? Mr. Green is also up for this show… here are his thoughts! (Sammy)
True Terror With Robert Englund (10pm / Travel) – Our second shared recommendation this week and back to back night no less. Sometimes I swear Sammy thinks Strawberry Shortcake is comparable to X-Files. Still his comparison this time is not that far off. For me it's more Nightmare Cafe meets Psi-Factor well season one Psi-Factor to be fair. This show is most likely to be a bit whacky and kooky as the clip suggests. However, Englund will be entertaining as he knows his craft well and is fully capable of giving the perfect performance as the series presenter. This kind of "documentary" series is something questionable for the time that is living in a post-truth world. Still looking forward to checking out how the series goes each week. (Mr. Green)
Thursday, March 19
Sammy's Pick of the Week
Altered Carbon: Resleeved (
Star Trek: Picard (3am / CBS All-Access) – The penultimate episode and the penultimate time I will talk about Picard here this season. Plus it's the first part of a two-part story. I'm almost beginning the 7 stages of grief over the soon to be had loss of the series until next year. Regardless it doesn't change the fact that I'm loving the shit out of the show each week. I'm still not impressed about Hugh but I will get over that annoyance in storytelling… eventually. I'm still banking on a last-minute rescue by Captain Worf of the Enterprise-F but that might be my mind working too deep in head-canon for my own good. (Mr. Green)
Friday, March 20
The Banker (
Mr. Green's Pick of the Week
Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness (3am / Netflix) – Joe Exotic is a hot mess! I first heard about him when he ran for President in 2016. At the time I thought he was just a strange animal lover who had a desire to win the White House. However, the true story behind this man is nothing short of bizarre and twisted. It involves mullets, polygamy, weapons, tigers, animal trafficking, animal cruelty, fraud, personal vendettas and a murder for hire plot. Like I said a hot mess! Yet it is such a fascinating character study of questionable judgement and criminality makes it a must-see event for me. I already am aware of the outcome of the most criminal parts of the story but to see it told like this versus hours of reading should be entertaining, especially when the video of him speaking his own thoughts are incorporated into the documentary. I can't wait for Friday to come. (Mr. Green)
Saturday, March 21
Q Ball (
Fast & Furious (8:30pm / USA) – This is the fourth film in the franchise and Han's second film however it's Han's first appearance in the F&F franchise. I know it takes a while to wrap heads around the chronological order of the film series. However, it's true the series goes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7, 8 and soon part 9. Although that has been shifted to 2021 now because of the current pandemic. This movie is what made me like the franchise again. It felt like a return to the roots of what made the first film really work and be fun to watch. Not just because both Dom and Brian were back on screen but it seemed to regain some its secret sauce with this installment. Subsequent films amp up the superheroic nature of the stories this one still felt relatively earthbound. #JusticeForHan (Mr. Green)
Sunday, March 22
Less Netflix More Chill (
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (9pm / NBC) – The fact that I have been enjoying this show is astounding to me on so many levels. The fact that it is a musical at its heart should have been enough to keep me away however the use of music to convey people's innermost feelings and emotional state has been an interesting and effective way to bring new life into the musical genre. While the pilot was pretty dark overall with moments of super-bright moments of joy and song the subsequent episodes have really done a better job of expressing their ideas better and in an even more entertaining way. (Mr. Green)
Well, there you go plenty of options for the week ahead. Enjoy yourself and watch responsibly.
If you're gonna geek out, GEEK HARD!

Take a look at this cool character designed by 2D/3D artist, Thomas Jordan Wanless. We are pleased that more and more digital artists from around the world are experimenting with a diverse range of characters. Enjoy
"A hunter of the San Bushmen tribe. According to superstition, a praying mantis is a sign of fortune (or misfortune) in hunting. In some traditions, a mantis is placed on a newborn's forehead to grant it good luck in hunting when it reaches adulthood. However, bad luck will befall a person if they step on a praying mantis, rendering their hunting expeditions bounty-less."
This was an interesting challenge for me, because I've never designed a character based on African culture. I haven't studied painting black skin before either, so it was good practice studying the tones and colours for black skin.

The Energy Journal, 2006, vol. Volume 27, issue Number 1, 55-78
Theory predicts that the presence of fixed costs implies that the relationship between energy use and energy price changes is asymmetric, as the firmÕs output and investment decisions respond differently to energy price increases and decreases. The asymmetry is exacerbated if future energy prices are uncertain, but to date the empirical literature does not explicitly take uncertainty into account. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we develop a new measure of energy price uncertainty. Second, we apply this measure to explain energy use in fifteen OECD countries between 1978 and 1996. Our results support the theoretical prediction that energy price uncertainty affects the asymmetry and renders energy saving technologies less attractive.

What's Included
Includes Rapid X attachment base, one large and one small attachment band, and a micro USB charging cable.
LED LIGHT SAFETY POLES (or whatever they are called)
We may not have actually seen any in person, but many of us have seen them in pictures and videos online. I am talking about LED light poles or whips as I have heard them called. There is no denying that after dark these things are highly visible and can be rather beautiful as well. Some are fiber optic with the light showing thru out the pole. Some are a bit more traditional with individual lights up and down the pole. Some have blinking/flashing light in various patterns.
I haven't found them to be the easiest item to locate online. All too often when searching for them for bicycles the search results show those that are for motor vehicles with 12 volt systems. I read where one person used a 9 volt battery to power his. Here is a picture of it:
Many people make their own buying the various components online.
As I said, I have had a difficult time finding much of anything as far as sources to buy these LED pole lights. Here are a few although the Arizona Whips are pretty much designed for 12 volt vehicle use as are many of them I found. They can be adapted to a bike/trike, but one still needs a battery (power source) sufficient to operate them. LEDs are a pretty low current draw so I don't know how long the 9 volt battery would last. Also the Arizona Whips are not cheap … $150 according to what I read.
made in China fiber optic (would be my choice) $28.50 each with a minimum purchase of two
A FREE GIFT awaits you!

On September 26, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) consolidated their control over Nashad and Mazlum villages on the eastern bank of the Euphrates and continued clashing with ISIS terrorists in the area.
Separately, reports appeared, that government forces captured Hatlah Tahtani village northwest of Nashad. If reports are confirmed, ISIS units in the northern part of Deir Ezzor ciry will be fully besieged by the SAA and the NDF.
Saqr Island east of Deir Ezzor had been one of the key ISIS logistic hubs before the liberation of Hatlah Tahtani. Now, the importance of Saqr Island is much lower.
Earlier on September 26, the Russian media officially confirmed that Russian troops had established a bridge linking the eastern and western banks of the Euphrates. The 200m-long bridge allows to transport armoured vehicles and battle tanks.
Meanwhile, Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers struck terrorist targets in the provinces of Deir Ezzor and Idlib. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the missile strikes destroyed "command posts, troop concentrations, and military equipment, as well as ammunition depots."
Meanwhile, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) liberated Al-Suwar town from ISIS in the province of Deir Ezzor. According to pro-SDF sources, the SDF even crossed the Khabur River near Al-Suwar.
The Russian military has established a temprary bridge through the Euphrates River:

How can I tell if my child is really reading on grade level? Everything seems to be going along all right for him in third grade. -- Curious
First of all, your child's report card should indicate if he is reading on grade level. And it will also tell you how well he is reading on grade level. A visit to your child's classroom during reading time will give you an added picture of how well he is doing compared to his classmates. Plus, a chat with his teacher should make it clear to you how well he is reading.
You can do an informal reading test by having him read a passage of a current assignment in his reader. If he doesn't make more than five errors per 100 words, you can be fairly confident that he's reading on grade level. You can also find out if his reading skills are developing appropriately by visiting the Reading Rockets Web site (www.readingrockets.org/article/162). And here is one more important determiner of his reading skills -- if he truly enjoys reading and frequently has his nose in a book, things are probably fine.

NEW – Student Reviews
What Students Are Saying
John, I wanted to personally thank you for showing me the areas in my playing that needed the most work. I have used your chord and rhythm exercises and am now playing right along perfect with my drum machine. I use the videos on your website for reference.
Whitley is enjoying her bass lessons too and we are starting to play songs together. Your simple and dedicated approach to guitar lessons has us light years ahead of where we would be with other instructors. You're the best!
— Catherine (Mother) and student Whitley, Age 12
Brianna is thrilled to get started on Paramore's song! I do enjoy watching her lessons and my husband thinks she sounds pretty good!
— Holly Switzer (Mom) and student Brianna, Age 14
My son was very excited after the first lesson, you left a great impression on him. Thank you so much for that..!! We have also enjoyed your CD "Sidewalk Shenanigans".
You have a wonderful talent and have inspired my child to overcome his fears of playing in front of people. He is advancing rapidly in music at school due to your progressive guitar lesson instruction system. Please keep up all the fantastic work you do!
He really looks up to you a lot and thinks you are so amazing! Even though we haven't met I am sure that you are amazing because of the improvement and the eagerness in Angelo to learn from you!
Angelo said we made a great decision finding you!!
— Marco (Father) and student Angelo, Age 10
When we first met John for music lessons, we were just seeking a supplemental music theory instructor for my then 11-year-old son Angus. John was a referral from another one of his student's father. John's knowledge of music theory and the thoroughness of his guitar instruction program literally blew us away.
I decided to take John for guitar lessons along with Angus' lessons and he never charged us additional money to teach us both at the same time. Though I had never played the guitar before, John's patient teaching method seemed to make learning the guitar very easy. Before too long, we had John over at our house on Saturday afternoons for jam sessions with me playing complete songs on the guitar, John on the bass, my wife Kim singing and Angus jamming on the drums.
The culmination of all this work was our Summer CD project "School Of Rhythm" where myself, Angus, John, Kim and the rest of the family all joined forces to create our very first 6-song CD recording.
I can't express enough how working with John was a complete joy and he really came through getting our CD completed. John is a first-class professional all the way and I would recommend him to anyone…
— Ed Rochen, Arlington, Texas
Kailyn comes home from lessons with you and is so hyped up and excited about what she learned. Her experience has been awesome and I enjoy seeing all the pieces falling in place for her. Guitar playing is something that she wanted to do for so long and I am so happy that she likes you and is learning so much from you!
I have personally seen her improve dramatically since taking your progressive guitar lesson system.
— Stephanie Pederson (Mom) and student Kailyn, Age 15
Hi John! It's Jules, Jaysen's girlfriend. I just wanted to send you a quick email to let you know how happy I am that we found you to help teach Jaysen on his guitar.
His confidence is 100x's what it was before and he loves to practice and play now. He sounds so amazing! It blows me away how much he has picked up in such a short amount of time, I know that there is still a lot that the wants to learn from you but I just wanted to tell you how great I think he is doing! He used to be so frustrated before and now he picks up his guitar and is eager to play something or practice or learn something new.
There has been so much going on with us the last couple of months so I know that it has been difficult for him to schedule lessons with you, in fact we are moving this weekend, but he is totally stoked that he will have his own music room!
Thank you for being so understanding and flexible with the lessons. I know that Jaysen plans to learn as much from you as he can for as long as he can. Hopefully once we get moved our schedules will mellow out a little bit.
Again I just wanted to say thank you and I know that you are an amazing teacher and it is clear that you love what you do. I just wanted to tell you thank you and how much you are appreciated!
— Julia Vassallo, Arlington, Texas
I brought my daughter to John for a guitar lesson. He is the first person to take the time to show her the proper way to play her guitar. And she actually went home with homework!! Very happy we found him!
— Scott (Father) and student Kaitlyn, Age 13
Hi John – I just wanted to thank you for meeting with me the other night, and spending so much time with me about my guitar playing. I have been to several guitar teachers in the last year or so, trying to get a handle on my playing and get helpful feedback. They all had something to teach me, but – in you – I finally found someone who would actually observe, constructively critique, and offer me concrete improvement strategies.
Thank you very much! I have been playing the scales and vibrato exercises you suggested. I will pursue this and will check back with you in several weeks as you suggested.
Have a great week!
— Stan, Age 40
I worked on the drills Monday and I think I've gotten better after taking your lessons. I'm thinking of coming up with my own music so I'm gonna be working on that too. Thanks!
— Tony, Age 23

Restored Bierstadt Masterpiece Goes on View in Florida
- WINTER PARK, Florida
- /
- February 21, 2018
The Domes of the Yosemite, the largest existing painting by Albert Bierstadt (1830–1902), made its post-conservation debut at the Morse Museum of American Art, in Winter Park, Fla., where it is on view to July 8 through a special loan from the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum in Vermont.
The monumental painting, having just received conservation treatment in Miami, returns to Vermont in July. Measuring almost 10 feet by 15 feet, the 1867 oil painting has not been shown outside the Athenaeum since its first installation there in 1873.
"The Domes of the Yosemite," said Morse Museum Director Laurence J. Ruggiero, "is a virtuoso performance by one of the most beloved painters of America's natural beauty—sweeping, sumptuous, dramatic and luminous."
"The painting perfectly complements the Morse's collection of 19th-century American art," he said.
"With age, the canvas had become weak where it wrapped around the stretcher, so much so that there was significant distortion in the upper left corner," said Athenaeum Director Bob Joly. "Also, the surface was coated with a synthetic varnish in the 1950s, which becomes harder to remove the longer it remains. When it returns, The Domes will be appreciated for its beauty and its great condition."
Treatment of the work at ArtCare Conservation Studio in Miami, where it arrived in mid-October, has included repairing the tears around the perimeter, flattening the distortions, and removing surface grime and varnish.
"The painting is the most important piece in the Athenaeum's collection and a major work of 19th-century landscape painting," Joly said. "It is our job to preserve it for the generations to come."
Bierstadt, a German-American artist, was lauded for grandiose landscape paintings, particularly those that captured the newly accessible American West. His work represented the maturation of the great American landscape tradition, and his painting of the Valley of the Yosemite in California has been called his crowning achievement.
Originally commissioned for $25,000 for the Connecticut home of American financier Legrand Lockwood, The Domes was showcased in New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston before its installation in Lockwood's mansion. After Lockwood's death in 1872, it was purchased by Horace Fairbanks of the E. and T. Fairbanks Company in St. Johnsbury. Fairbanks—whose brother, Franklin, was an early investor in Winter Park land and a charter trustee of Rollins College—founded the Athenaeum in 1871, financed its building, and provided for its library and art collection. In 1873, he added the art gallery to accommodate The Domes. Morse joined the Fairbanks Company in 1850, ultimately becoming the controlling partner in Fairbanks, Morse & Co. headquartered in Chicago.
"Charles Hosmer Morse's connection to St. Johnsbury is the reason the Athenaeum offered the painting for temporary display at the Morse Museum," Joly said. "We are delighted to share this national treasure with the Central Florida community, where Morse's legacy has meant so much."
The Morse Museum is known today as the home of the world's most comprehensive collection of works by American designer and artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933), including the chapel interior he designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and art and architectural objects from Tiffany's celebrated Long Island home, Laurelton Hall. The museum's holdings also include American art pottery, late 19th- and early 20th-century American painting, graphics, and decorative art.
