The Ondo king who married an ‘Orisha’ as Queen and what happened next… Queen Oronsen, wife of Olowo Rerengejen, the 8th Olowo of Owo is an ‘orisha’ (one of the gods in Yoruba mythology). She is reported to have ordered that the Igogo Festival should be held in her honour. The Igogo festival is an annual Yoruba festival celebrated every year in September in Owo, Nigeria. During this time, the incumbent Olowo of Owo and chiefs dress like women, with coral beads, beaded gowns and plaited hair. According to tradition, 600 years ago, King Rerengejen, while on a hunting party, met a young maiden named Oronsen. He fell deeply in love with her and took her to his palace and made her one of his wives. On their wedding night, Oronsen told her husband that she was not what he made her out to be; she was an ‘orisha’. Her husband became frightened because it was a taboo to consult the gods, as it was a sure indication that the gods had already passed judgment on a particular situation, which usually meant death for those involved. However, Oronsen reassured her husband that she was not out to harm him. She told him that she would be very happy to stay in the world of the living as one of his wives on condition that he respected three things sacred to her. Rerengejen readily agreed to the conditions and warned his other wives not to do anything that would upset their queen. Thereafter, the king and his divine wife lived happily ever after, with Oronsen showering his palace with riches. One day, while the king was away hunting, Oronsen had a bitter disagreement with the other queens and in the process, they broke all the things sacred to her. Greatly upset, Oronsen left the palace and all the chiefs and guards that set out to find her failed. When the king returned from his hunting party, he was told what had happened and went to look for his wife personally. He found her after four days and four nights and begged her to return with him, but she refused to do so, telling him that she had lost all faith in those around her and asked that a remembrance ceremony be held in her honour so that she would continue to bless Owo. The disappointed king agreed and on his return from the forest, told the chiefs to set up such a ceremony. The Igogo festival has since then been an annual event held in September and on the day of the festival, it is forbidden to wear caps or headgears. Also, beating of drums and firing of guns is prohibited.

🚨Mayor Wilson double downs Tuesday and rejects claim her staff delayed Sunday briefing for ‘dignitaries’ yet falls flat on reasoning, still evades on who made the decision Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday again denied that anyone in her office blocked the Seattle Police Department from holding an immediate news conference Sunday night after the gang-related mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival. A reporter confronted Wilson with new information that between 7:45 and 8 p.m., alleging that someone from the mayor’s office told SPD leadership they could not proceed with a press conference that police wanted to hold right away, citing the arrival of “dignitaries.” “That is not my understanding, no,” Wilson said. Mayor Wilson told reporters Tuesday that there was extensive back-and-forth among her office, police and state and federal elected officials as they coordinated a response. Wilson said authorities were conducting an active search for suspects at Seattle Center and that she was told it would not be helpful for her or other elected officials to arrive at the scene during that time. “We went back and forth and eventually landed on an appropriate time to address the press and to share information,” she said. “That is my understanding.” Pressed further on whether her office issued any order that effectively prevented police from speaking sooner, Wilson referred reporters to her earlier answer. A second reporter shared with Mayor Wilson at the presser that "what makes it difficult to believe" her explanation on the delay is that SPD personnel have received extensive training and paid tens of thousands of dollars to consultants on crisis communication, to conducting pressers without her nor other "dignitaries" needed to be present. Wilson has and is facing repeated criticism about the delay of the presser to be used as a photo op for politicians instead of expediting the pubic safety information to residents. The delay in waiting for "dignitaries" statement from an SPD spokesperson was also captured by Jeremy Harris of KOMO News later Sunday night on video.

Michael Mann on the pivotal scene in Heat when Ashley Judd’s character Charlene chooses to warn Chris instead of giving him up to the police - despite knowing what it’s going to cost her: “In this scene, I confess I’m stunned with how wonderful Ashley Judd is; the expressions on her face as she processes all her options and what she has to do - and then she waves them off. She’s established early in the film as a practical, emotionally mature adult trying to put together a small family. And those are her values. They are family values. She knows that she ought to cooperate with the police and she ought to let Chris (Val Kilmer) fall. That would protect her child, and no instinct is more profound or powerful than the maternal instinct she has right there. And she’s set up for us to expect that she will do exactly that- even though the anguish would be intense, she would give up Chris to protect the family unit that remains. But when she goes to do that on the porch, she sees him and can’t help herself. She’s in love with the guy. You can see her face processing those choices, the endearment she feels for him, and then she does the irrational act and waves them off. In that moment, we see a look on Ashley’s face, we see a sense of what her future is going to be — which is going to be grim. And it’s there again when she closes her eyes as Drucker tells Vincent that the man was not Chris. But of course - it was. And then this is the final moment of Ashley Judd/Charlene Shiherlis in the film: an awareness of the separation from her man, an awareness of what her future holds for her. And with Chris, there’s a parallel moment of realization.” From the director’s commentary track off the Heat Blu-ray
