Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In a commentary published in the New York Times, Ashley Judd explains why she has filed a petition attempting to block the release of a report on the death of her mother, Naomi Judd — saying that “the horror” of the experience “will only worsen if the details surrounding her death are disclosed by the Tennessee law that generally allows police reports, including family interviews, from closed investigations to be made public.” In the essay, Judd reveals that her mother — who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at her home on April 30 — was still alive at the time police arrived, and contends that the barrage of questioning kept her from attending to her mother in some of her final moments. Most relevant to her objection to the report, though, is that she says family members revealed many personal things in the heat of interrogation without any thought as to how those details would forever become part of the public record.

Ben Croll Exploring Paris’ working-class suburbs with a fresh set of eyes while reframing the immigrant experience under a more incisive lens, a dynamic generation is blazing new trails in French cinema. And if artists like “Saint Omer” filmmaker Alice Diop, “Athena” co-writer Ladj Ly, and “The Gravity” writer/director Cedric Ido share little in common but age – interestingly enough, all were born within one or two years of one another – the group’s shared spotlight in Venice and Toronto certainly reflects a rise in opportunity for diverse perspectives. “Today, we do see renewal,” says Unifrance managing director Daniela Elstner. “There’s an altogether new breath, a young generation looking to change, to dare, and to propose new kinds of films, [and with that] a willingness on the part of festival programmers to welcome these filmmakers into main competitions a little bit faster than before.”

warned of wildfires from the drought as well as possible blackouts due to the extreme heat, Spain is seeing devastating wildfires and the UK experienced one of its hottest summers in 46 years.In response to the high temperatures, the UK has announced a nationwide ban on water-hose use — perhaps a concept California wishes the Kardashian family, who were recently named among the worst water wasters, would enact upon themselves.To remind people of the ban and encourage them to have some fun indoors while they practice water conservation, the team at PlayOJO thought up a tricky brain teaser with a hose-filled illustration.Take a peek at this illusion and try to connect the dripping spray nozzle to the correct water hose through the maze of tangled hoses and outdoor debris.Only 25% of people were able to unravel the water hose and find the spray nozzle in 10 seconds or less, according to PlayOJO.Think you’re smarter than the average person? Try to solve this visual puzzle faster than your friends.This challenge doesn’t come so naturally to everyone as it requires a keen eye, mental concentration or just some good luck.Search through five different hoses (options A, B, C, D or E) to determine which one connects to the dripping nozzle.If the twists and turns along the way don’t distract you, beware the rain boots, rubber gloves and other gardening gear that clog up the looping paths.Most of the winding hoses will lead to a leaking tap, but a sharp eye will catch that option D leads to the spray nozzle.
