There is the locust (or caelifère), with short and thick antennae, herbivorous. It descends on the grain fields and, every ten or fifteen years, sows desolation in the crops, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to India, via Iran and Pakistan. Climate change is beneficial to it: the current warming of the Indian Ocean triggers heavy rains that water the Arabian Peninsula, as in winter 2020, promoting its reproduction in maddening proportions.

The consumption of insects is a response to the scarcity of natural resources: we need 8 kilos of feed to produce 1 kilo of beef, only 2 kilos to produce 1 kilo of insects.

Then there is the grasshopper (or ensifère), with long and thin antennae. Like the cricket, it is omnivorous, carnivorous tendency, as in Uganda, where it finds its sustenance in puddles and rivers. Climate change is a calamity for it: seasonal rains, increasingly unpredictable, disrupt its life cycle, while deforestation by humans reduces its habitat and makes migration difficult.

The grasshopper is considered in Africa as a delicacy and its consumption, boiled or roasted alive with oil and salt, like its hunting, an important source of income for those who practice it, are old traditions. In Uganda, one of the countries of the black continent that Michele Sibiloni has been traveling for ten years, it is called “nsenene”. “It migrates en masse twice a year, as soon as the rainy season has passed, flooding the sky before dawn”, says the 40-year-old Italian photographer.

Fascinated by the insect with the green dress, he has just devoted a book to it (Nsenene, Edition Patrick Frey), whose text is by Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, on stage Bobi Wine, famous Ugandan musician and unsuccessful candidate for the presidential election in January, facing the omnipotent Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986.

Armed with two cameras, one digital and one flash film, Sibiloni says he works “As in a fiction”, scientists not knowing “Not much yet” of this famous grasshopper. He started hunting her down in 2015 at night around Masaka, a town very close to the equator, west of Lake Victoria. “To grasp hunting techniques, I prefer to stay away from the frenzy of the capital, Kampala”, he said. In the countryside, the stalking of the insect “Significantly changes the landscape”, he says, because of the campfires and the lights that the inhabitants use to disorient their prey and trap it.

After starting his business career, Marc D’Amelio, 52, tried his hand at politics. In 2018, this American tried to snatch a seat in the Connecticut General Assembly. In vain. Here he becomes impresario of his own daughters, Charli and Dixie, 17 and 20 years old.

In 2019, the two sisters started posting dance videos on the TikTok social network. Their success was dazzling, so much so that to date they have accumulated 176 million subscribers on the platform: 123 million for Charli – the most popular account of the social network with 732 million active users in 2020. – and $ 54 million for Dixie.

The family, complete with the mother, Heidi – who says to be a former model, even if it is very difficult to find any trace of her time in the profession -, settled permanently in Los Angeles in December 2020. A move that has all of a professional bet. Indeed, the streaming platform Hulu, owned by Disney, is preparing to broadcast, from September 3, a reality TV show, “The D’Amelio Show”, promising to reveal the underside of their news. life in the City of Angels, the heart of theentertainment.

Charli’s choreographies

Enough to record the birth of a new family reality TV, when ?The Incredible Kardashian Family? just ended in June, based on the daily life of this Californian family, which has become, in twenty seasons, a social phenomenon. and social networks, the best known of which, Kim, has just entered the billionaire ranking established by Forbes. After the Kardashians, inseparable from Instagram, a generation of D’Amelio is emerging, and she was born on TikTok.

The similarities between the two clans are not lacking. Because, with the Kardashians as with the D’Amelios, we become famous as a family. While relatively unknown to the general public, the former were able to capitalize on the unauthorized broadcast of an intimate video of Kim, in February 2007, to launch, eight months later, their family reality TV show. For the D’Amelios, it was Charli’s choreography that lit the fuse of fame. After Dixie, parents have also signed up for the platform, where they have 10 million and 9 million subscribers respectively.

And, while waiting for the broadcast of their show, they do not hesitate to stage themselves. On their YouTube channel, The D’Amelio Family, they unveiled, in November 2020, the concept Dinner with the D?Amelios. Reunited in their Californian residence, they share a meal with a celebrity ? the youtubeur James Charles, star of makeup across the Atlantic, opened the ball – and exchange as they would in a private setting.

A dozen years ago, after an out of school adolescence, Finnegan Oldfield was enrolled in a local mission – these organizations responsible for the integration of young people. ?The opportunities were no big deal. I once did a test that took into account my skills and the fact that I left school in 4^e. » Suggestion ? Taxidermiste. “Can you imagine me? “ Today, at the age of 30, Oldfield is an actor, the job he wanted to do since his first stint in front of a camera, in CM2.

Distributed with regularity for five years, he gave of his person – stubborn air, alert flow, clear eyes, keen smile – in eclectic characters: soldier (Neither the sky nor the earth, by Clément Cogitore, 2015), high school student organizer of orgy (Bang Gang, by Eva Husson, 2015), a young man ennobled by his love of the theater (Marvin or La Belle Education, by Anne Fontaine, 2017), awkward advisor to a presidential candidate (Foal, by Mathieu Sapin, 2018)?

After playing a restless commuter in Gagarin, by Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh, in June, he is back since August 13, camping an educator in the thriller Gone forever, Netflix series based on the novel by (and produced by) Harlan Coben.

?I arrived at the castings in bulk, with rascals, having partied the day before and read the text three times, but this flippancy pleased. »Finnegan Oldfield

There, he comes out, flushed and blown away, from the shooting of the next Michel Hazanavicius, a zombie film where he will be “A fashionable actor, like the new Adam Driver”. But on August 25, it’s in The Land of Men, of Naël Marandin, as we will see, as a peasant apprentice who takes over a family farm with his future wife (Diane Rouxel) whose point of view we adopt. Ambition of responsible agriculture and fusional love, until the rape that she undergoes and which cracks everything.

From a barely sketched supporting role, Finnegan Oldfield draws a moving young adult who, as soon as misunderstandings are cleared up, believes the word of the one he loves. That’s all. And that’s a lot. “Being a shoulder, I had never done that, he says in a cafe in eastern Paris, seated in front of a Perrier. There was a frustrating side. I was like, couldn’t this guy do more? I had suggested to Naël to add a scene where Bruno was going to say his hatred to the aggressor of his wife. But he was right to refuse it to me: it is she who saves herself. And then, perhaps unconsciously I selfishly wanted to have a scene of my own? ?

Gateway to pathways and hikes or resorts, mountain huts are usually located in beautiful locations. On the way for a night at the top!

At the Packe refuge, picks and trout fishing

Its shape is very characteristic of the region, a sort of stone warhead, adopted during the first wave of construction of Pyrenean refuges. Built in 1896, at an altitude of 2,509 m, the Packe refuge is the gateway to the peak along the Turon de Néouvielle, the peak of Coume de l’ours, the peak of the Three Advisers and more generally the massif of Neouvielle. But above all, from the Col de Rabiet on which it is built, it offers a sumptuous view of the very famous Roland Breccia on one side, and the Pic du Midi de Bigorre on the other. From the Lienz camp, located above Barèges, it takes 3 hours 30 minutes to reach it. For fishing enthusiasts, the surrounding lakes are full of game and the trout or char that comes out of them, particularly tasty.

Refuge de Packe, information at the Lourdes Alpine Club, tel. : 05-62-42-13-67, clubalpin.lourdes@wanadoo.fr. It is unguarded, but permanently open. A dormitory and eight beds. The water comes from Coume de l’ours lake.

A force to build cabins for others, architects sometimes end up feeling the desire, even the need, to build one for themselves. This is the story of the ?too tall tea house? (Takasugi-an) imagined in 2004 by the Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori.

?I had just built the Ichiya-tei and Ku-an teahouses, but upon handing them over to their owners, I felt something unexpected and unheard of happening inside me, as if an inner voice said: ?I don’t want to give them to you? (?) I felt that if I wasn’t able to create one for myself, I would never be able to do one for someone else again ?, Fujimori remembers in Treehouses, Towers and Tea Rooms : The Architecture of Terunobu Fujimori, by Mauro Pierconti (2019, Electa editions, 260 pages).

On two chestnut trunks

Codified since the XVI^e century, these small constructions for the tea ceremony occupy a special place in Japanese architecture. A long tradition well known to the historian of architecture that is also Terunobu Fujimori. This one draws its own variation in Chino, city where he was born and which is located in the mountainous region of Nagano. Perched more than 6 meters high, its cottage made of natural materials is based solely on two chestnut trunks.

This fragile hut, sometimes heckled by the wind, looks like a bird’s nest and looks like it came from an animated film by Hayao Miyazaki or a children’s story. This 6 square meter space is “So high that you have to climb two ladders to access the part below, open a hatch, then finally enter this small and comfortable space”, explains architectural historian Mauro Pierconti.

Up there, the view through the openings that light up the cabin is breathtaking, with the green valley below. This crazy and daring construction imagined by Fujimori breaks the historical model of tea houses, traditionally dark alcoves isolated from the outside world. Turned towards nature, his cabin in the air is an invitation to a spiritual journey.

If only one remained, it would be him. At 80, Ruy Flaks Schneider is inexhaustible when it comes to singing the praises of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, yet in free fall in the polls. “He is a sympathetic man, who put an end to the corrupt government of the left, and who is suffering an infamous smear campaign,” explains this Carioca, dressed to the nines, mustache, three-piece suit and golden cufflinks.

President of the great Israelite temple of Rio, “Ruy” watches over the largest and most beautiful synagogue in the city, a neo-Moorish building, all of domes and turrets, installed in the city center. He reminds whoever wants to hear it: « We Brazilian Jews have never known a better time. Bolsonaro loves us. He is a natural friend of Israel and identifies with this country. »

End of the “honeymoon” with the Jewish community

But behind the insurance there is a concern. At issue: a controversy, which has just shaken the community. On July 22, Bolsonaro received in Brasilia, all smiles, the visit of the German deputy Beatrix von Storch. At 50, the elected is not only vice-president of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) but also and above all the granddaughter of Johann Ludwig von Krosigk (1887-1977), Minister of Finance of ‘Adolf Hitler.

The event immediately triggered a stir. « Bolsonarism no longer hides its sympathies », tweeted the left-wing organization Jews for Democracytorpedoing an AfD « with roots linked to Nazism and openly xenophobic ». She was joined by those in charge of the Holocaust Museum and by the Israelite Confederation of Brazil (Conib). « This visit is of great concern to us, explains Cláudio Lottenberg, the president of this confederation. It refers to the darkest moments in our history. »

The episode came to end a form of “honeymoon” between Jair Bolsonaro and the Jewish community. The President of Brazil has long been a distraught admirer of Israel, praising its patriotism and « valorization of the armed forces ». He skillfully portrayed his relationship with his “great friend” Benyamin Netanyahu, the former head of government of the Hebrew state.

Nicknamed the “Hitler of Brasilia”

Not a demonstration in favor of Jair Bolsonaro where does not arise a slew of flags bearing the Star of David. « Brazil will never abandon Israel and the Jews », Bolsonaro repeated in June. Diverse, from Hispano-Portuguese, Dutch, Ashkenazi or Sephardic immigration, the Brazilian Jewish community is not an important electoral force: it has only 120,000 members, or barely 0.06% of the population.

?My mission was to make the characters authentic, without falling into caricature or miserability. »Meghan Kasperlik

?We shot in Aston, in the suburbs of Philadelphia. On the advice of Brad Ingelsby, a native of this region, I spent time there before the shoot, as well as in the small working-class towns around to watch people and understand their way of dressing. I frequented cafes and restaurants, I went to the local hardware store and, above all, I stayed for hours in observation at Wawa [chaîne de station-service et de dépannage typique de l?est des Etats-Unis] », says Meghan Kasperlik, ex-press secretary in the fashion won by the costume design after a meeting with Patricia Field, the costume designer of Sex and the City.

?My mission was to make the characters authentic, without falling into caricature or miserability. I worked in close collaboration with the director, the screenwriter, the production designer and the director of photography to create a coherent image ?, she continues. In this drama with the accents of True Detective, a feminicide upsets the community of Easttown, already plagued by child crime, drugs and difficult ends of the month.

A little paunchy

Kate Winslet, acclaimed by critics for her performance, appears transformed, scarred face, compulsively vaping, wearing an old brown backpacker parka by Filson – an American workwear brand created in 1897 in Seattle for researchers of gold and today prized by hunters and fishermen.

Pauline Esparon in her workshop, installed in a former paper factory in Sorel-Moussel, in Eure-et-Loir, July 30, 2021. Marion Berrin for M Le magazine du Monde

Around the age of 15 or 16, she had fun scutching the flax from the surrounding fields. And to crochet the strands of wool thus freed of their straw. In her native Eure-et-Loir, Pauline Esparon very early on identified the plots of herbaceous plants with blue flowers which, once cut and before being harvested, lie down for a few weeks or several months. But it is thanks to a subject of study that the twenty-something will resume the thread of her adolescent experiments.

After a baccalaureate option cinema, the one who wanted to be a ?seamstress? of wedding dresses followed a course in textile design at the Duperré school in Paris. Then, she went on to internships: at the agency IMART MatériauxO ‘, a material library that is also interested in innovative technologies, and at Petit h, the upcycling division of Hermès, where are sublimated the “failures” and the falls of fabric, leather and other materials from the illustrious house. ?I worked in the product development department, as close as possible to the craftsmen, she specifies. I had to establish technical sheets by transcribing exactly how the object was made. I loved the atmosphere of the Pantin workshops. “

With the experience strengthening her self-confidence and her desire to tackle volume more, Pauline Esparon presented the competition for Design Academy Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In this prestigious school which has acquired an international aura thanks to the forecaster of fashion and design trends Lidewij Edelkoort, professor, then director of the establishment from 1999 to 2009, the social and environmental dimensions are questioned, and design is understood through hybrid, conceptual explorations.

Pauline Esparon will follow a very free, almost artistic, experimental training there for four years, enriched by a six-month prank at the Cantonal Art School of Lausanne (ECAL). ?I needed to know how to draw in 3D on software, to acquire technical skills that would allow me to think on an industrial scale. “

On the left, in preparation for making the bench and the column, the scutched flax fibers are sewn into long ribbons. On the right, for the long bench, a linen felt seat and scutched linen ?loincloth? fringes arranged in a staircase. Marion Berrin for M Le Magazine du Monde

She will continue her apprenticeship during an internship in London with the artist-designer Faye Toogood, whose sculptural plastic approach and work on the material had seduced the student traveler. Netherlands, Switzerland, England, and back to France. During her studies in Eindhoven, the subject “plant fibers” took her back to her native land. ?I had already collected flax, I had this affinity. And when I discovered the factories, I completely made history », she admits.

They grew in this vineyard of Entre-deux-Mers Bordeaux, survived the frosty springs and the scorching summers of the last seasons, before being hanged away from light and humidity. at the bottom, ten days. Emptied of their water but not of their splendor. In the old barn transformed into Jocelyne Riffaud’s workshop, dozens of varieties of dried flowers, beautiful slumber waiting for a second life. Here, statice with vaporous inflorescences, there immortelle with flower heads like tissue paper, further on, allium with large mauve pompoms, thistle with silvery or bluish tints, craspedia with luminous yellow balls, nigella from Damascus to aerial capsules …

Never gave up, despite the whims of fashion, the vagaries of life or the ups and downs of income from the sale of his compositions on the Cadillac and Pessac markets.

A “special charm”

In her memory, Josie always loved ?The particular charm of the dry flower, which gives off a form of romanticism. It is also less capricious, less fragile than the fresh one, so we have more time to work with it ?, explains the sixty-year-old standing in the dining room of his house, where only a bouquet of dehydrated mimosa placed on the fireplace testifies to his passion. “The shoemaker’s syndrome, the worst shod”, she smiles when asked. ?The dried flower also allows you to give free rein to your creativity, and it is surely this side, closer to craftsmanship than to trade that has always attracted me to the making of dry compositions. »

Coming from the city, daughter of a traveling caterer, Josie has long cultivated a creative streak. Holder of a license in sociology, the young woman of the time tried her hand at ceramics, while helping out in the markets in high season. In the 1980s, with her husband Pierre, a winegrower, they bought an old residential farm surrounded by greenery. She then began a small floricultural activity. ?I quickly made dried bouquets that I sold with my ceramics. It was fashionable and it allowed me to pay myself a small salary. “

Claire Supiot walks into the light, leaning on a cane, wet hair and a smile on her lips. It is 8:30 am, she finishes with two hours of training. At the entrance to the Jean-Bouin swimming pool in Angers, the teenagers who run into the locker rooms pay little attention to him. However, it is there, in the pools where they will snort, that the 2018 European champion in the 50m freestyle has been preparing for many months to compete in the Tokyo Paralympic Games, which open on August 24. .

At 53, she is the first French athlete – men and women alike – to compete in the Paralympic Games after experiencing Olympic Games fever. She participated in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul at the age of 20. She was eliminated in the 200m butterfly heats. At the time, the nine-time French champion in the discipline did not even dream of a podium or a medal, just to participate in this global event. This year, it’s different: the oldest of the French para swimming team is going to Japan aiming for a podium. She will be on the starting block of the 100m and 400m freestyle, the 200m medley and the 100m butterfly.

An incredible revenge on life for Claire Supiot, who has been fighting Charcot-Marie Tooth disease for thirteen years. Before her, this hereditary neuromuscular disease had affected her father, an uncle and one of her aunts. For Claire Supiot, a lifeguard by profession, a somewhat strange fall followed by a broken foot sounded the first alert, in 2008, while she was leading a training session.

Water, its element

The disease progressed, Claire could no longer lift her legs. He quickly had to use shoes with jacks, with a system under the sole that helps to lift the foot. Thanks to the rehabilitation, she finally put them away in favor of a cane, and now composes with the occasional support of “Lulu”, her electric chair. But in the water, it’s different. ?I turn my arms like everyone else, I use my legs a little less but I do the medley. I no longer do scissors in breaststroke and, in butterfly, the undulation remains natural and pretty, it is just less effective. ”

To qualify in Tokyo, the champion swam morning and evening at the Jean-Bouin d'Angers pool, here in February. — To qualify in Tokyo, the champion swam morning and evening at the Jean-Bouin d’Angers pool, here in February.

Swimming, she did not really resume until 2015, against all odds. All it took was an aquagym session, offered by Annick, her neighbor and friend from Juigné-sur-Loire, where she lives. She immediately realized the benefits of Archimedes’ push on her body. ?It did me good to be carried by the water, to reclaim my body. I just wanted to be in good shape. But that was not enough for me. ”
