Your daily 6: Iranians vow revenge, bedbugs freed in Walmart and Golden Globe awards and red carpet – STLtoday.com

The 77th Golden Globes were meant to be a coronation for Netflix. Instead, a pair of big-screen epics took top honors Sunday, as Sam Mendes' technically dazzling World War I tale "1917" won best picture, drama, and Quentin Tarantino's radiant Los Angeles fable "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" won best film, comedy or musical.

The wins for "1917" were a surprise, besting such favorites as Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story," the leading nominee with six nods, and Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman." Both are acclaimed Netflix releases but collectively took home just one award, for Laura Dern's supporting performance as a divorce attorney in "Marriage Story." "The Irishman" was shut out.

"1917" also won best director for Mendes. The film was made in sinuous long takes, giving the impression that the movie unfolds in one lengthy shot.

"I hope this means that people will turn up and see this on the big screen, the way it was intended," said Mendes, whose film expands nationwide Friday.

Though set around the 1969 Manson murders "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood" was classified a comedy and had an easier path to victory than the more competitive drama category. Brad Pitt won for best supporting actor, his first acting Globe since winning in 1996 for "12 Monkeys," padding his front-runner status for the Oscars. Tarantino also won best screenplay.

"I wanted to bring my mom, but I couldn't because any woman I stand next to they say I am dating so it'd just be awkward," Pitt said.

Ricky Gervais, hosting the NBC-telecast ceremony for the fifth time, began the evening with an expletive-laden plea against hypocrisy, telling winners to stick to thanking their agent and their god. But throughout the night, winners seized their moment to speak about current events including the wildfires in Australia, rising tensions with Iran, women's rights and the importance of LGBT trailblazers.

Patricia Arquette, a winner for her performance in Hulu's "The Act," referenced the United States' targeted killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, saying history wouldn't remember the day for the Globes but will see "a country on the brink of war." She urged all to vote in November's presidential election.

Gervais opened the show by stating that Netflix had taken over Hollywood. given its commanding 34 nominations coming into the Globes. "This show should just be me coming out going: 'Well done, Netflix. You win everything tonight," he said.

As it turned out, he was wrong. Netflix won only two awards: Dern's win plus one for Olivia Colman's performance in "The Crown." It was a definite hiccup for the streaming service, which is aiming for its first best-picture win at the Academy Awards next month.

Instead, the awards were widely spread out among traditional Hollywood studios, indie labels like A24, cable heavyweights like HBO and relative newcomers like Hulu.

And plenty of viewers tuned in to see who wore what:

‘You’re better off sleeping in your car’: How Paris is plagued by scourge of bed bugs – The Local France

Posted on January 11, 2020 by vancouver Click Here For Article

If the last thing on your mind when staying at a glitzy Paris hotel is having to worry about getting bitten by critters, think again.

A Paris hotel group head has admitted that even high-end hotels in the French capital are affected by a pest infestation thats getting worse across France.

Frances bed bug problem has seen the number of cases go from 180,000 to 400,000 in just two years.

In 2018 alone, there were 100,000 bed bug infestations in Paris, according to the French Union for Pest Control (CS3D), a scourge that is now also affecting the capital's hotel industry.

As one TripAdvisor user commented about their stay in a Paris hotel last November: Bed bugs, no handling of the matter and no treatment. Youre better off sleeping in your car.

"Its traumatizing hotel managers, we talk about it among ourselves, but timidly" Jean-Marc D'Orx, general president of Ile-de-Frances Hotel Union, told Le Parisien.

The hotelier is a victim in this kind of case. It's not that the hotel is dirty, but it has welcomed people who have brought the bed bugs with them.

When a room is infested, you have to change all the bedding, the mattress, the bed frame, it can cost anywhere from 300 to 10,000 depending on the category of the hotel.

Aside from these big financial losses (not fully covered by insurance according to DOrx) and the effect bed bugs can have on a hotels reputation, hotel managers also have to close their establishment until new beds have been delivered and pest controls carried out.

In fact, since 2018 any landlord with a rental property in France thats found to have bed bugs or any other parasite infestation (cockroaches, rats etc), has to cease letting it out, or face a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 for not doing so.

"In Canada, pest control treatments are mandatory when a tenant departs, but unfortunately this is not the case in France," French housing and social inclusion group Si Toit Lien told Le Monde.

This has resulted in countless unwitting tenants in France having to deal with a serious health and housing problem from the moment they move into their new home.

According to the French Union for Pest Control, 92 percent of French people have at some point found pests in their homes.

But bed bugs - called punaises de lit in French - arent just being found in beds.

Its horrible, even when youre sure theyre gone you see them everywhere, a north American reader in Paris who asked to remain anonymous told The Local.

The cinemas have a problem with them so you start avoiding places.

You throw out everything thats part of your bed including the mattress, even though they say all you need to do is wash beddings at 90degrees and it should be fine.

The pest control guy I got was great. It cost 450 for him to come three times to fumigate. The main problem at my place was the carpet.

So on top of the cost of fumigation theres also the expense of staying a night or several nights at a hotel, which often has to happen.

The fumigator told me bed bugs were by far his biggest business, way above cockroaches and mites, and that he couldnt keep up with demand despite not advertising.

"The French blame Americans for bringing them over...I got them from an American friend who travels a lot. Bastard."

The Local's Paris based editor Ben McPartland said: "A neighbour in my block just dumper their mattress in the street after realising it was teaming with bed bugs. They were everywhere. It was stomach-churning."

Bed bugs are 7mm-long insects that feed on human blood, usually at night. Their bites can result in skin rashes, allergic reactions and psychological trauma for the person trying to sleep.

After having almost disappeared in the 1950s, bed bugs (Latin name Cimex lectularius) have proliferated in France in recent years.

Sudbury ninth on national bedbugs list – The Sudbury Star

Posted on January 10, 2020 by admin Click Here For Article

A marco view of bed bugs.postmedia image

By Stephanie Ip

An annual ranking of top Canadian cities for bedbugs has been released and Sudbury has itched its way into ninth place.

Sudbury is the only Northern Ontario city listed in the top 25 list. On the 2019 list released by Orkin Canada, Vancouver is third, bested only by Toronto in first place and Winnipeg in second. St. Johns follows in fourth place and Ottawa in fifth.

As in previous years rankings, larger cities and travel hot spots populated the top of the list, with bed bugs reported in both clean and dirty homes, as well as office buildings. According to the pest control experts, bed bugs were a rarely experienced irritant just 20 years ago, but has since spread to become a common problem in urban centres.

Signs of a bed bug infestation include tiny, dark coloured spots or stains or cast skins. The critters are often spotted in and around mattress tags or in seams, under seat cushions, behind headboards, creases of furniture, buckling wallpaper and carpets.

The ranking is based on the number of commercial and residential bed bug treatments carried out by the company between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019.
