They're slobbery. They have funny fur. They don't look like standard pups. But boy, are they cute for being so ugly — and that's the point.The 2019 World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California, took place Friday night with 19 good boys and girls up for the title. The annual contest recruits pooches from across the nation to compete for cash, a trophy and, of course, the crowning achievement of being the world's ugliest dog.The contest isn't about shaming dogs for their looks though. It's meant to promote pet adoption from shelters, and to show people that all dogs are deserving of love — no matter how they look.This year's winner hailed from Santa Rosa, California. Scamp the Tramp took home ,500 in cash, another ,500 to donate to an animal shelter and a shiny trophy. He and his human, Yvonne Morones, also won an appearance on the "Today" show.“He’s Scamp the Champ, no longer Scamp the Tramp,” Morones 937

The sound of gunshots quickly set off a panic at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California late Sunday afternoon."It almost sounded like the amps were popping, like something had blew. but then it kept going," Emma Petersen said.Petersen was working one of the booths. She says her first instinct was to run with everyone else as fast as she could."I brought my eyes up and I just saw a cloud of people running at us," she said.The Garlic Festival has become Gilroy's most popular event. It's been around for 40 years, and the locals use it to raise money for charities, schools and nonprofit organizations. However, Sunday's attack has left the community in the "Garlic Capital of the World" feeling shattered."Here we have three families of people who have been murdered that are going to be devastated for eternity," Alex Larson said.Larson owns the Original Garlic Shoppe located in the heart of town. His community is in mourning but showing support to one another. "Currently all the high schools have grief counseling for the children even though they're not in school," he said."Gilroy is an amazing, tightly-knit community," Brian Bowe, the executive producer of the Garlic Festival said in a press conference Sunday night. "We are family. We have had the wonderful opportunity in this community to celebrate our family through our Garlic Festival, and for over four decades that festival has been our annual family reunion.""I feel that we'll be able to pull through from it, but it's still shocking in the moment," Petersen said. "There's gonna be a lot of hugging, a lot of kissing a lot of crying and that needs to happen first before everybody's gonna be able to get back online," Larson said. 1719

The tapestry is long. In total, about 25 feet. It is an amalgamation of red and blue boxes stitched to fit snugly next to one another, and each day, the tapestry expands by feet at a time.Heather Schulte has been adding to the project since March. Each blue stitch represents a new confirmed coronavirus case in the United States, and each red stitch represents a loss of life."The act of stitching, for me, is very meditative,” said Schulte, as she continued to add stitches in her front yard.The project began as a way to give a visual representation of the global pandemic; something more tangible than numbers on paper, according to Schulte. But it quickly evolved into a catharsis, a release from the stress of being isolated from her normal life. Then, in April, her tapestry became even more personal."On April 11 my uncle was diagnosed,” said Schulte. “Two days later, he was taken to the hospital and did not survive the coronavirus infection that he had. It’s become a way to meditate, hold vigil, commemorate the people who have suffered and who have died and their family members, and their care givers, and the doctors, and nurses who are working overtime to manage the crisis right now.”Dr. Ellen Winner is a professor of psychology at Boston College and author of the book How Art Works. She says art can provide and outlet for healing, even for people without an artistic skill."There’s no question art leads to well-being,” said Winner. “It is a way of distracting yourself and focusing very carefully on something. It really pulls you away from what you might be upset about.” Because of art’s interpretive nature, Winner says it doesn’t need to be something traditional in terms of painting, drawing, or playing music. Doing something such as DIY projects, or even rearranging a room can help tap into one’s creativity and offer a source of therapy.“If it makes you feel better that is a practical purpose,” she said.“There are so many things that you’re feeling that you can’t express through words, and art creates this--whether it’s through metaphor or some sort of indirect expression, being able to open up,” said Laura Kim.Kim and her collaborator, Kevin Sweet, turned to creating seed packets they place along a local creek in Boulder, Colorado as a way to help engage others. It’s interactive, they say, and offers mutual benefits as people plant the seeds and care for what grows."We wanted to create, instigate, this kind of platform or way for storytelling to happen,” said Kim.Only a few blocks away, Robbie Herbst has been hosting socially-distant violin concerts for people in his neighborhood. He says each Tuesday night, between 50 and 100 people gather in the street, spreading themselves apart to enjoy the music and return to some semblance of normalcy."When you’re focusing on playing in tune and playing in sound nothing else really matters,” he said laughing. Herbst freelances as a violinist for area orchestras and teaches private lessons. Since the pandemic has stopped, that routine he says he now plays for his own benefit, as well as the benefit of others.“[Being stuck inside] makes it feel like the walls are closing in,” Herbst said. “[Playing violin] just feels very invigorating, and it makes you want to take risks and find maximum expression in what you’re doing, and that’s extremely liberating and gratifying.”Editor's note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly named Kevin Sweet as Jason Sweet. 3474

Timothy Williams, best known as the pitchman for travel site "Trivago," was arrested this week after Houston police say they found him passed out behind the wheel of a car in traffic."He was passed out with his foot on the brake in a moving lane of traffic," said Houston Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva. Police got the call Wednesday afternoon.Williams failed a field sobriety test and submitted to a blood draw, she said.He was charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and his bail was set at 0.When asked about Williams' arrest, a Trivago spokesperson told CNN in a statement: "At this stage, we do not have the full details of the situation, but we want to make clear that Trivago treats such incidents very seriously and strongly condemns drinking and driving, which poses a risk to others and goes against the Trivago culture."CNN has also reached out to Williams and is waiting on a response.Williams has had acting roles on "The Cosby Show" and "Law and Order." But he shot to fame as the rough-and-tumble pitchman for "Trivago."In later ads, he came across as more polished -- his hair nicely tousled and a fashionable touch of facial stubble. 1175
