Les Gras de Douarnenez sont officiellement ouverts avec, ce samedi en fin d’aprĂšs-midi, l’intronisation du Den Paolig, le roi du carnaval chargĂ© de veiller pendant cinq jours sur les festivitĂ©s. Ambiance. Pour cette Ă©dition 2022, c’est une reine qui a Ă©tĂ© choisie. Ou plutĂŽt un homme qui, chaque annĂ©e, au moment des Gras, se dĂ©guise en femme. Patrice Goyat, en caricature gĂ©niale de la reine Elisabeth II, a donc revĂȘtu la couronne royale, sous les yeux amusĂ©s du public nombreux rassemblĂ© sur la place des halles Ă  Douarnenez. "Quand on m’a proposĂ© de devenir le Den Paolig, j’ai dit oui Ă  une condition que je sois montĂ©e au fronton des halles en reine" raconte-t-il. Car, du haut de la bĂątisse, la reine-mĂšre en papier mĂąchĂ© va veiller, elle aussi, sur ses sujets. Et sa rĂ©plique humaine sillonner la ville jusqu’à mercredi. DrapĂ© dans un manteau rose du plus bel effet, coiffĂ© d’une perruque blanche et vĂȘtu d’une jupe Ă  carreaux "so british", Patrice Goyat s’est fendu d’un discours dĂ©calĂ©, convoquant la famille royale d’Angleterre, rappelant "le moment de grĂące" que sont les Gras. Et tout cela avec une pointe d’accent anglais. Avant de saluer la foule, en agitant une main gantĂ©e de noir, le Den Paolig version Buckingham a lancĂ© pour conclure "God save the kouign-amann !". Le choix de ce dĂ©guisement fait Ă©cho aux Gras de 2019 oĂč Patrice Goyat, dĂ©jĂ  grimĂ© en reine Elisabeth, assistait Ă  un remake du mariage de Harry et Meghan. Tout est parti de lĂ , sourit-il. Mais demain dimanche, pour le dĂ©filĂ©, je vais laisser la reine se reposer et je porterai le costume d’une ancienne commerçante de Douarnenez ». Une femme, encore et toujours parce que, note-t-il dans les ports de pĂȘche, ce sont elles, les femmes, qui rĂ©gentent tout. Les joies comme les peines ». Il confie, entre deux tasses de thĂ©, qu’il achĂšte ses manteaux de femme par correspondance au nom de [son] Ă©pouse. A force, ceux qui m'envoient les colis doivent se dire que ma femme a des goĂ»ts de chiotte" rigole-t-il. Le nouveau Den Paolig a Ă  peine le temps de terminer sa phrase qu’une horde de majorettes, en manteaux roses dĂ©cidĂ©ment !, vient l’entourer pour la photo de famille, sous l’Ɠil goguenard des gardes royaux. Les Gras, cela fait partie de notre histoire, c’est inscrit sur notre carte gĂ©nĂ©tique. En tout cas, rions tant que nous pouvons encore le faire Patrice Goyat, Den Paolig 2022 Patrice Goyat, ancien cadre d’un Ă©tablissement mĂ©dico-social, est tombĂ© dans les Gras dĂšs l’enfance. "C’est un vent de libertĂ© qui s’engouffre dans les ruelles de Douarnenez, dit-il. Les Gras, cela fait partie de notre histoire, c’est inscrit sur notre carte gĂ©nĂ©tique. En tout cas, rions tant que nous pouvons encore le faire".

The Namangan Flower Festival attracts thousands of visitors each year, but the spectacular, storied event remains little-known beyond the Ferghana Valley. This Uzbek man is preparing for the opening of one of Uzbekistan’s most charming yet least-known cultural events. The Namangan Flower Festival has been held in Uzbekistan’s Ferghana Valley every year since 1961 - except for 2020 due to the pandemic. The festival traditionally opens with a parade of cars covered in fresh flowers. The fragrant convoy drives into the center of Namangan, where the festivities kick off. Celebrated Uzbek photographer Anzor Bukharsky took these images of this year’s festival, which began amid stormy weather on May 22 and runs through June 5. Bukharsky says he only heard about the obscure festival by chance shortly before it began. The photographer and a journalist friend, Timur Nimanov, “immediately” jumped into a car to make the five-hour journey there from Tashkent. A crowd gathered despite the rain to watch performances that marked the beginning of the Namangan Flower Festival. Bukharsky says the crowded, rain-soaked scene above highlighted a hunger for public celebrations, saying, “Uzbeks are not indifferent to such events; they want spectacles.” As with most Uzbek public events, the festival is heavily policed. Bukharsky says that from what he could see, however, the officers at the festival were “very discreet, thank God.” A display made entirely of fresh flowers. According to Uzbek media, Namangan has been known for its flower production since the 1700s. Uzbekistan’s Ferghana Valley is a lush, fertile region of the largely arid country. Two women get ready to take a selfie in front of a wall of fresh roses. Timur Nimanov, the journalist who traveled with Bukharsky, says last year's event was opened by an official who noted that while "many countries organize military parades in order to demonstrate their power, we hold flower festivals - symbols of peace, love, and peaceful development." Today, such a statement about military parades might be seen as politicized in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This year no comparisons were drawn to other countries' tastes in public events. For Bukharsky, the greatest surprise is how little is known about the Namangan Flower Festival, especially outside Uzbekistan. He said he hopes his photo documentation of the charming event can help raise its profile at a time when positive news is in short supply. "Flowers will save the world," he told RFE/RL.

An elderly Black couple is suing a Texas police department after they were arrested at gunpoint. Officers said they were searching for teenage suspects when they pulled over the couple, per the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges excessive force, illegal search and seizure, and violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Loading Something is loading. A Black elderly couple has filed a lawsuit against a Texas police department after they said police violently arrested them at gunpoint while searching for teenage suspects. Attorneys for 67-year-old Michael Lewis and his girlfriend, 57-year-old Regina Armstead, said the Rosenberg Police Department used excessive force during the November 2020 arrest. "What they went through was incredibly demeaning and dehumanizing and unconstitutional," attorney Lauren Bonds told Insider. The lawsuit said that five RPD officers were searching for a group of Black teenagers who were suspected of brandishing weapons and assault when they pulled over Lewis and Armstead. "RPD incorrectly identified Ms. Armstead's vehicle as the one used by the group of teens to flee the scene of an alleged assault, even though Plaintiffs are senior citizens and do not remotely match the description of the teen suspects," the lawsuit said. During the stop, officers instructed Armstead to throw her keys out the window, get on her knees outside of the vehicle, and then walk backward to the police car with her hands in the air, the lawsuit said. One officer arrested Armstead "while two other officers kept their guns pointed at her," the lawsuit said. While she was being arrested, Armstead told officers that Lewis was a dialysis patient with a stint in his hand and that he could not have anything tight, like handcuffs, around his arm or wrist, the lawsuit said. "She stood telling them, 'My boyfriend's on dialysis,'" Lewis recalled to Insider. "'He can't have any handcuffs on his arms at all. He's on dialysis,' but they didn't listen to that." 'We both feared for our lives'After Armstead was placed in the back of a police vehicle, "four armed officers—including one holding an assault rifle—then ordered Mr. Lewis out of the vehicle and told him to get on the ground," the lawsuit said. "I was praying to God that the guns didn't go off on us because when you point guns at somebody like that, you never know," Lewis told Insider. The officers cuffed Lewis despite his medical objections and placed him in a separate police car while they searched Armstead's vehicle and confiscated her cell phone without explanation, said the lawsuit, which accuses RPD of illegal search and seizure, unlawful detention, and false arrest. "That was real scary. I tell you, it really was. I feared for my life. I really did, and Regina too," Lewis said. "We both feared for our lives. Because, like I said, a gun could have went off." The lawsuit said that after officers found "no weapons, no contraband, and no other evidence of illegal activity" in Armstead's vehicle, she and Lewis were uncuffed. Armstead asked why they had been stopped and searched, and an officer said they were searching for teenage suspects, the lawsuit said. Armstead later realized she did not have her cell phone or her keys, the lawsuit said. They returned to the scene to collect Armstead's phone from an officer and discovered their key fob, which had been tossed out the window at police instruction, was crushed. RPD said they would reimburse Armstead for the key fob, but they did not, the lawsuit said. Both Armstead and Lewis "felt frightened, humiliated, embarrassed, and persecuted for being Black, and suffered severe mental anguish from the arrest and from being detained," said the lawsuit, which claims officers violated the Fourth Amendment and the Americans With Disabilities Act. "As a result of the handcuffing during his arrest, Mr. Lewis's medical device in his wrist malfunctioned. This resulted in three separate medical procedures to replace his fistula. These procedures caused prolonged pain and suffering to Mr. Lewis," the lawsuit said. Bonds, Lewis and Armstead's attorney, said she hopes "to see if we can get them some accountability and justice."A spokesperson for RPD did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Actor Anne Heche is “not expected to survive,” the family said, after a fiery crash in Los Angeles. In a statement shared with ABC News, loved ones of the Emmy-winning celebrity said she is comatose following the severe crash, which left her with significant brain damage. Close friends of the “Six Days, Seven Nights” star reportedly said they fear the mother of two will likely die from smoke inhalation after careening her Mini Cooper into a house at 90 mph while “high on cocaine” last Friday, according to the Daily Mail. Listen to the latest episode of CBN’s Quick Start podcast 👇 “She is in a terrible condition,” an unnamed friend told the outlet. “The smoke inhalation is life threatening. It will be a miracle if she recovers from this and comes out of this coma. She needs everyone’s prayers. She is in the worst state you can imagine. Whatever you believe in, please pray for her, please.” “Only God can save her now,” added the friend. Immediately after Heche sped into the house, a fire ignited. It took 59 firefighters 65 minutes to “access, confine, and fully extinguish the stubborn flames,” a press release stated. Video footage from a neighbor’s Ring doorbell showed a blue Mini Cooper owned by Heche speeding down the residential road just moments before the four-door vehicle crashed into a house. EXCLUSIVE Video shows the vehicle owned by actress Anne Heche speeding down a Mar Vista street moments before crashing into a home and sparking a fire. The story on CBSLA 5pm. Rachel Kim CBSLARachel August 5, 2022 The 53-year-old actor’s representative said she “has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.” Heche’s deadly crash into the Los Angeles home owned by Lynne Mishele came shortly after a previous, less serious crash into a garage door. It appeared at the time she had alcohol in the vehicle. While it’s not clear when the audio was recorded, Heche did say on an episode of her “Better Together” podcast released the morning of the fiery collision that she was having a “very bad day” and had been drinking vodka and wine. That episode has since been removed from Apple Podcasts. Hours before the fiery crash involving Anne Heche, an episode of her podcast it's since been removed dropped in which she was discussing drinking wine and vodka during the episode. Unclear when that episode of "Better Together" was recorded and I've reached out to her rep CNN Chloe Melas Chloe_Melas August 7, 2022 Although details of the well-known celebrity’s faith are unclear, Heche’s mother, Nancy, has been very open about her Christian beliefs amid life’s tragedies. In 2006, she authored an autobiographical book, “The Truth Comes Out,” in which she chronicled the death of her husband Don, who died of AIDS after numerous homosexual affairs — a dark secret for years shrouded by the lie that he had died of cancer. The elder Heche opens up, too, about her own affairs as well as the tragic death of two of her children Cynthia Anne Heche, who lived only for two months, and Nathan Heche, who died in a car crash at just 18 years old, three months after Don’s death. Years later, Nancy Heche struggled when Anne Heche made headlines for her affair with actor and comedian Ellen DeGeneres. At the time, Nancy Heche said her daughter’s involvement with the daytime talk show host felt like “a betrayal,” according to CBN. Nancy Heche, who abandoned her faith for seven years before finding her way back to Christianity, has worked with several ministries — including Ruth Graham and Friends and Focus on the Family — to advocate for a biblical understanding of human sexuality. Now 85 years old, Nancy Heche has spent many years talking to Christians about the importance of showing love toward those who practice LGBT lifestyles while also explaining how Scripture addresses the issue. “People will be won to Christ exactly the same way we were won to Christ,” she told the Christian Examiner in 2007. “That’s someone showing us love. That’s even more important than if they change their sexual orientation. The truth is, their sexual orientation or sexual practices will not change unless they do experience the love of Christ.” ***As the number of voices facing big-tech censorship continues to grow, please sign up for Faithwire’s daily newsletter and download the CBN News app, developed by our parent company, to stay up-to-date with the latest news from a distinctly Christian perspective.*** TiffanyNutter and her daughters at the Mormons Building Bridges booth, Utah Pride Festival, Salt Lake City, June 5, 2022. RNS photo by Jana Riess RNS photo by Jana Riess June 10, 2022 Pitchfork Festival tends to be one of the better-curated weekends of the summer — especially compared with Chicago counterparts such as Lollapalooza — thanks to its emphasis on music discovery. But this year’s event added a dimension of fan service to the equation. You could practically envision the type of music lover who’d attend each day the millennial indie guy ready to rock to the National and Parquet Courts on Friday; the extremely online fan hungry for the catharsis of Mitski, Japanese Breakfast, and Lucy Dacus on Saturday; the old and young hip-hop head uniting around Earl Sweatshirt, Noname, and the Roots on Sunday. And each one had more than enough reason to leave happy. I saw all of it over three days — and much more, from astonishing side-stage performances to lots of rain and mud. Ahead, some of the best and worst moments of Pitchfork 2022. HIGH The early festivalgoer was soothing voice of Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab floated through a rainy Union Park on Friday; her beautiful, meandering ballads were the perfect way to ease into the festival. The same went for Saturday, when guitarist Jeff Parker and his jazz collective, the New Breed, opened with a jam session, and Sunday, when rapper Pink Siifu crowded the stage for a smoke-filled, laid-back celebration of southern music. Aside from those chill kickoffs, there were some early big draws, including a sweats-clad Ethel Cain, whose “Family Tree” sounded like a dark incantation in the rain. But the biggest reason to show up when the gates opened? Chicago raunch rapper CupcakKe, whose bravado was so contagious she was able to lead a crowd of thousands to shout about sucking dick at 2 on a Saturday. LOW The complaining about inclement weather at a festival is nothing new. But every time it seemed as if the rain would let up on Pitchfork, it kept going — especially on Sunday, when it wasn’t even forecast to rain. The downpour eventually made a massive mud pit at one of the stages Sunday, where no fans dared to step. It also led Earl Sweatshirt to assure the audience his music wasn’t fit for moshing. HIGH A rapper for 2021’s lineup featured a pitiful three rappers, I wondered if Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash and Lollapalooza were pricing Pitchfork out of rap bookings in Chicago. Thankfully, this year brought nine rap acts to the fest, which provided a little something for everyone thoughtful bars from Noname and Earl Sweatshirt, blasts of energy from CupcakKe and Monaleo, endless grooves from the Roots and Pink Siifu. Then there was underground New York rapper Wiki, who had all of that and more as he animatedly reflected on his roots in his trademark nasally sneer. Wiki’s producer Subjxct 5 proved equally integral, especially when he dropped a fantastic and jittery new track off their upcoming collab, Cold Cuts which Wiki accurately described as “the disco era and the Memphis era in one”. WHOA Dawn Richard was the real hard to get a crowd of music nerds to dance, but that didn’t stop Dawn Richard. When I arrived a few songs into her midevening set at the small, tucked-away Blue Stage, the audience was already moving. Dance anthems off her 2021 album, Second Line, including “Bussifame” and “Boomerang,” became even more powerful live and were punctuated by stunning choreography and an interpolation of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.” With a red wig that nearly hit the floor and backup dancers on either side of her, Richard looked the part of a headliner; as she danced, rapped, and belted her way through her set, she acted it too. And the former Danity Kane member showed that her versatility extended far beyond dance music, as when she wailed the Cranberries’ “Zombie” into a sparkling, auto-tuned mic while kneeling in front of her soloing guitarist. “I gave you every piece of me,” Richard declared on her final song, “Heaven,” but that still wasn’t enough. Minutes later, she returned to give even more, performing an encore in a lit-up, crownlike headpiece that soon fell off from her vigorous dancing. LOW The many lineup you were looking forward to rapper Tkay Maidza or jazz-rockers BadBadNotGood, sorry — both acts canceled last minute because of visa issues and illness, respectively. That was on top of an earlier cancellation by English rock group Chubby and the Gang, who pulled out of a tour ahead of the festival. At least the event had some top-notch replacements in its back pocket, including rockers the Linda Lindas, Houston rapper Monaleo, and Chicago experimental mainstays the Natural Information Society. WHOA The Armed’s beautiful later, I’m still trying to wrap my head around what I witnessed during the Armed’s Saturday Blue Stage set. Yes, I did see 11 people crowd onto the stage — including a blindfolded keyboardist and three backup singers in Juggalo face paint — and tear through 45 minutes of maximalist hardcore. The screaming and shredding were unrelenting, and seemingly every other song saw some member of the band jump into the crowd; hell, by the end, half of them had gotten swallowed by the pit at the front of the stage. As big of a production as it was, the set still felt intimate, even from a band of rotating characters whose identities are mostly a mystery. HIGH yeule and Magdalena Bay brought their pop visions to finished Friday at Thalia Hall, where the electronic musician yeule played a Pitchfork preshow in the round. The setting perfectly served their performance, as Nat Ćmiel, lithe and acrobatic, moved to the music across the stage. Their use of vocal effects meant the songs didn’t sound much different live, save for a tender moment toward the end when they picked up a guitar to play “Eyes” and “Don’t Be So Hard on Your Own Beauty.” But that wasn’t the point of the show — it was to share in this internet-born music in person, to dance around to the gloriously cathartic “Bites on My Neck” at the end of the set. Meanwhile, Magdalena Bay more than excelled at bringing their brand of pop to one of their biggest stages yet. The duo ran through their fantastic 2021 album, Mercurial World, in order, as they did on tour, but without the colorful set pieces and projections they had when I saw them in February. That barely mattered, though, as singer Mica Tenenbaum quickly got the crowd moving, while Matt Lewin ripped through guitar solos, adding a sharp live edge to their usually polished music. WHOA Japanese Breakfast does it past two years have been a showcase for Michelle Zauner’s myriad talents, from making terrific indie-pop as Japanese Breakfast to writing her poignant best-selling memoir Crying in H Mart. She packed as much of that talent as she could into an hour during her Pitchfork set. At the outset, she was a pop star, dancing and banging a flower-covered gong to her buoyant Jubilee songs “Paprika” and “Be Sweet.” Later, she was a bandleader for a stellar rendition of “Glider,” one of her compositions for the 2021 video game Sable. She was then a duet partner to Chicago icon Jeff Tweedy, who joined for his favorite song of hers, “Kokomo, IN,” and a performance of Wilco’s “Jesus, Etc.,” featuring beautiful harmonies from Zauner. And she closed as a rock god, pouring out the minutes-long guitar solo of “Posing for Cars” before a face-melting “Diving Woman.” HIGH Mitski had what the National National set had a simple draw the band’s first gig since the pandemic. But unless you were a National devotee and to be fair, much of the crowd was, it lacked the excitement a headlining set ought to bring. Sure, the guitars sounded strong, and the band’s new songs fit right in, but the performance excelled only for brief moments, as when Matt Berninger entered the crowd for “Mr. November.” Saturday’s headliner, Mitski, put on much more of a show, running through renditions of songs from across her career, complete with her signature interpretive dance choreography. Shockingly, she never picked up a guitar. For such a production, the tracks felt immediate; both weaker cuts from her recent Laurel Hell and her strongest songs, like 2018’s “Geyser,” benefited from larger-than-life renditions from her five-piece band. For all Mitski gave as a performer, the enraptured crowd gave it right back, screaming at her every move. WHOA The main stages got fans have to seek out the oddest performances at the smaller Blue Stage, but on Sunday, they were right there on the main stages. It began with L’Rain, the experimentalist whose practice of “approaching songness” was on full display as she led a band through her shifting, exploratory tracks that fall somewhere between free jazz and experimental electronic. She relished the process, often laughing and smiling at her impeccable band as they played. Later, the Natural Information Society jammed for a meandering hour, all held together by bandleader Joshua Abrams on the guembri. Even some of the rap acts veered left of center, like Injury Reserve’s dissonant set and Earl Sweatshirt’s jazzy, pensive hip-hop. LOW The number of Chicago three of the acts who performed at Pitchfork currently live in Chicago since local heroes Jeff Parker and Noname moved to Los Angeles. And one of those acts, the National Information Society, was a last-minute addition to the lineup. It’s a strikingly low number for a festival that tends to spotlight its host city’s talent. That didn’t halt the weekend’s city pride, though, particularly on Sunday, when silk-voiced R&B singer Kaina performed with Chicago artist Sen Morimoto and drummer Brian Sanborn who later played with Noname. Clouds blanketed the sky, but Kaina made the stage glow, warmly reflecting on her Chicago roots with songs off her recent album It Was a Home. Later, it felt fitting to see Kaina sidestage, enjoying Noname’s celebratory, loose homecoming. And after local singer Akenya joined to perform her feature on “Reality Check,” she presented Noname with a bouquet — literally giving her her flowers, she said. The crowd, excited to see the rapper back home, followed suit. HIGH The started keeping count of saxophones on Saturday, when Dry Cleaning brought out the Chicago performer Bruce Lamont to guest on “Unsmart Lady.” He was the second saxophonist I’d seen, after the New Breed’s earlier set. And they kept coming — by the end of the weekend, I’d witnessed sax performances with Japanese Breakfast, L’Rain, Kaina, the Natural Information Society, Cate Le Bon, and, of course, the Roots. Bonus points to Natural Information, which performed with two saxophones, plus a bass clarinet. WHOA The Roots kept in, for nearly 90 minutes, right until 959 As in, Questlove did not stop drumming for longer than 15 seconds. As in, I thought the performance was over three different times, and they just. Kept. Going. For a legacy act, the long-running hip-hop band’s closing set was full of the unexpected, from a sousaphone solo by Damon “Tuba Gooding Jr.” Bryson to a guest rap from Chicagoan Hannibal Buress to a cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill.” And the Roots and the crowd both didn’t want it to end.
