In 2005, inspired by a friend who collaged, I began using a sketchbook. Coincidentally, that same year, my husband and I bought an old adobe house in Guanajuato. Not long after, I sat in our Mexican kitchen while waiting for a delivery, and depicted the church outside our window with collage and colored pencil.

Along the way, the procession is expected to visit some of Shiite Islam’s most…
Ange Postecoglou takes Al-Nassr job after turbulent spell away from TottenhamAnge Postecoglou is back in the dugout, this time with BBC Sport reporting that the former Tottenham manager has been appointed head coach of Al-Nassr on a two-year deal. It is a move that makes sense on several levels. Al-Nassr are Saudi Pro League champions, they have Cristiano Ronaldo as captain, and they wanted an experienced figure after Jorge Jesus left at the end of last season.For Postecoglou, this is a reset. His last management job ended almost as quickly as it began, after a 39-day spell at Nottingham Forest…
For the first time in 36 years, Pemex is now purchasing more petroleum products from abroad than it is exporting. Through the first five months of the year, the state oil company shipped out 431,801 barrels of crude oil per day while importing 507,227 barrels per day of petroleum products. This graphic, prepared by the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO) using data from Pemex, shows how the state oil company’s production in the first three months of each year has declined steadily since 2011.
