At Home… In a Trove of Art and History in Cuernavaca
"By looking at its narrow entrance, it's hard to imagine the beautiful house that awaits—with its thick walls, high ceilings, beams and surrounding gardens," says Elia Stavenhagen of her home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Located less than ninety kilometres south of Mexico City, Cuernavaca has long been an escape for city dwellers, known by locals as 'the city of eternal spring'. The year-round sunlight means the lush cityscape is in endless bloom.
In 1992, Elia and her husband Rodolfo Stavenhagen bought this house from an Italian family who, for more than thirty years, used it for weekend getaways. Named after an Italian saint of the Catholic church Quint San Gaudencio, the Acapantzingo home still shows remnants of its Italian history. When Elia and Rodolfo moved in, they renovated the space and made it their full-time home.
The house is believed to have been built at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Supposedly, the land was previously a tree orchard belonging to the church. The oldest part of the original house was an oratory with sixty-centimetre-thick adobe walls from the seventeenth century. During the renovation, Elia and Rodolfo removed the doors and preserved the acoustic arches. This ambient space—with its near six-metre-high ceilings—became the living, dining and breakfast rooms for their family.
The home is a celebration of Mexico: the kitchen's Talavera tiles were sourced from Puebla, a local historic town famous for its pottery; and the outdoor patio was inspired by the home of Frida Kahlo, a close friend of Rodolfo's mother. The garden, another canvas for the family's long-standing appreciation for art, features Mesoamerican pre-Hispanic sculptures. The home is also a celebration of the people who have lived there. Married for thirty-four years, Elia and Rodolfo met in Paris in 1982 with a shared a love and respect for Mexico's Indigenous cultures and history. As a museum curator, Elia has spent her life preserving and promoting the handicrafts produced by various ethnic groups in Mexico. Rodolfo was a sociologist and anthropologist who worked in social sciences for UNESCO, as a research professor at El Colegio de México and for the United Nations on the human rights and freedoms of Indigenous people. While the library speaks of Rodolfo's unrelenting interest in and commitment to his work, the art collection tells a story of Elia, who has preserved the pieces that fill the home: everything from European paintings to Mexican folk art. Both are a tribute to their life in Mexico and travels abroad.
It's a home where the door is always open, so to speak. When their children were young, Gabriel and Yara's friends would come over and paint, make jewellery or perform plays. Sometimes they would learn Italian and French; other times they'd play soccer in a part of the garden which was once a field. Over the years, Elia and Rodolfo would invite friends over and cook up a feast, where maíz (Mexican corn), tequila and mezcal were almost always on the menu.
The garden is a feature of the property: laurels, ash trees, palm trees, betel nut trees, rafi trees and others—some over 150 years old—surround the home. There are heliconias, anthuriums and namias. It's a garden made up of slow-growing palm trees—for low maintenance—and flowers that can grow beneath the shadows. It's their outdoor home which they share with hummingbirds and parrots; butterflies and bees.
While it's just Elia who lives here now—Rodolfo sadly passed away in 2016, and the kids have grown up and moved to the city—it will always be a family home. Their story will forever be written into the walls: imbued in every room and every object.
Lindsay's ongoing photo series 'At Home' documents local living spaces of all shapes and sizes from around the world. Behind these closed doors, we discover more intimate and subtle versions of the place itself: spaces where culture is mirrored in daily life, history exists in the walls and stories are made by those who live there.

Greek NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo is being tipped for MVP this year with the 'Greek Freak's' work ethic and ability to attack as well as defend, cited as reasons for his likely success.
Writing in Wisconsin's Dairyland Express sports site, journalist Brian Sampson said the Milwaukee Bucks' player was "after only five seasons in the NBA … already one of the best players in franchise history".
Listing five reasons for the Athenian's success, Sampson wrote that his hard work, both-end abilities, and defensive play — in which he "can literally guard anyone and everyone from the smallest and quickest point guard to the biggest center" — set him apart from the crowd.
Despite the media attention on Antetokounmpo, he is "still fresh in the minds of fans and voters thanks to his ever-evolving game", which reduces his risk of over-exposure. Being a team player also means suffering if the side fails to perform, but with the Bucks' strengthening their panel for this season, this could catapult Antetokounmpo into the contention for MVP, Sampson added.

OK, first off, there is no cure for upgrade-itis.
I've got a line on a tube amp that I may be purchasing. But here's my problem. I only will use the tube amp w/ my M22's when using a turntable or CD player, maybe ipod but unlikely. For the rest of the time, the speakers will be used w/ for HT. My Pio 45TX has pre outs, where the tube amp will go.
I want to connect the speakers to both the tube amp and Pio 45TX and use a switch to move between the 2. I have an old Niles switch but that doesn't have banana jacks but also has the problem that both sources could be inadvertently turned on. Any suggestions?

EastEnders legend Pat Butcher has returned from the dead in the most unexpected way – selling windows.
Pam St Clement has brought back her iconic character for SafeGlaze UK as Pat forms a double act with a window salesperson (also played by Clement), with the adverts debuting on TV back in February.
And for people who can't get enough, there's actually two different ads available.
It's a long way from Pat's last appearance in Walford as she returned from the dead to make her presence felt in Peggy Mitchell's truly heartbreaking exit scenes in 2016.
Pat couldn't resist one last dig at Peggy, noting that her makeover wasn't bad "for a bottle blonde". But despite one last exchange of those classic lines "You bitch!" and "You cow!", it was clear that even death couldn't have the last word for one of Walford's best ever friendships.
And obviously, there wasn't a dry eye anywhere.
Last year, Clement revealed that she has an idea of how to carry on the legacy of Pat Butcher, despite her death.
"I love the idea of having my own earrings on sale. I've never been asked to front a range, but I should have been. I would have accepted that opportunity – absolutely," she explained.
EastEnders continues tonight (April 17) at 7.30pm on BBC One.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/5.6 @ 15 mm, 1/160, ISO 200
This is a shot taken by my good friend Bob Latham. Please see his website here: http://www.boblatham-photography.net/
This was taken with the new 1DX and the fabulous Canon 200mm f/2 (I'm going a shade of green now!).
This shot shows the amazing low-light capabilities of the 1DX - ISO is 12800!
Composition - wise I love the diagonal line created through the frame by the performer's arms.
Thanks for letting me post the shot, Bob!

St. Cloud Regional Medical Center has completed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) renovations and returned patients to the fully-refurbished unit on July 22, 2019.
The project was completed over the beginning of the Summer with no interruption to patient care, due to the use of the hospital's Clinical Decision Unit, which temporarily housed the Intensive Care Unit throughout the project. The ICU renovations included a new nursing station, new lighting, new flooring, new paint, refreshed bathrooms and staff break space, as well as an update to the patient wardrobes and storage areas.
The completion of the ICU renovation project signifies the finalization of a larger project wherein every inpatient room at St. Cloud Regional Medical Center has been through a partial or complete renovation over the last four years. These overall renovations correspond with the opening of a brand new front entrance and new Emergency Department in September 2018, as well as the recently announced groundbreaking of a new ambulatory Medical Office Building set to open in 2020.
"The Mission of St. Cloud Regional Medical Center is to provide safe, personalized, and accessible healthcare to St. Cloud and the surrounding communities," states Brent Burish, CEO of St. Cloud Regional Medical Center. "By updating the physical space for our highest acuity patients and the team that cares for them, our hospital has advanced our Mission to continue to serve our growing community."

Getting Ready For Kindergarten No Prep Pack And Suggestions
Prepare for Kindergarten with this pack of suggestions and tips! Also included are practice Worksheets for numbers, letters, colors, and shapes!
What should a child know before kindergarten?
Preschool years are all about play and exploring the world around them. You don't realize just how much they pick up in those early years. They most likely know most of the things they should know just from watching, playing, and listening.
They should know their alphabet and the shapes of the letters. Upper and Lower case letters.
They should know their numbers from 1 to 10. The word, the number, and how to count items up to 10. They should be able to verbally count to 20.
They should know basic shapes such as square, triangle, rectangle, and circle. I also included more shapes for them to paint and practice on.
They should know their phone number and address. (This is a safety concern so if they happen to get lost they can give it to an adult to call you.)
They should also know their name. They should be able to write their first name.
They should know their parent's names.
They should be able to sort items based on their physical characteristics such as color, size, and shape.
They should know their colors.
More than likely they know a lot more than you realize it. This pack will help you gauge what they do know and what they need to practice. I also included links to helpful activities to practice the skills.
