So, you might be wondering, how can you get rid of sugar ants that keep coming into your home? Well, before we get into that, let's learn a bit about sugar ants and their place in your home. They're attached to moist, warm, dark areas, and they come into your house from outside. They also go under the name of the "banded sugar ant," thanks to the wide band on their bodies. Although most of them are large black ants with orange-brown bodies, the role they play in their community will affect their size and coloring. They can bite humans, but their bites are not harmful.
Before you actively start trying to kill them, you should look outside to see if there are any openings that will allow them entry into your house. They can come not only via doors and windows, but also via accent lights, fence lines, and even via pavement. They go into people's homes because they're looking for a place where they can make a nest in which they can develop their colonies. They often come into older homes, since such buildings have more cracks that they can sneak into. They go into people's homes because they're looking for a place where they can make a nest in which they can develop their colonies. They often come into older homes, since such buildings have more cracks that they can sneak into.
When it's time to get rid of them, there are several ways of achieving this. One possible method is to clean your kitchen properly. Mop your kitchen floor often. Doing so allows you to destroy their pheromone trails. Similarly, you should vacuum as well; this activity also has the double effect of eliminating residue that could attract ants to your home. Also be sure that the sink in your kitchen is always clean and dry; a wet or dirty sink will attract sugar ants. In addition, clean up those utensils that aren't completely dry. Don't take for granted that the dishwasher will have washed them properly, since this is, all too often, unfortunately not the case.
Empty the trash frequently so that garbage can't accumulate. Emptying it often also prevents odor from building up—always a plus. If your jurisdiction won't allow you to empty your trash more than you already, you can use tough, solid trash bags as an alternative. Their strength is advantageous because they won't break open and allow kitchen leftovers (including liquids) to seep out.
Another method of eliminating sugar ants is to use black pepper (or cayenne) or vinegar. If you're using pepper, sprinkle this stuff onto the entry points wherein the ants come into your home. Such entry points include, among others, holes in the wall, doors, and windows. You can also use a sponge—run it under warm water and soap—to clean their trails. As with mopping, this method works because sugar ants come in via their trails. If they don't have access to a trail—since you've wiped it away—they will get confused and not be able to go back the way they came. Furthermore, when the ants have left for the day, use vinegar to get rid of the scent of their trail. It's even better if you can find the original location by which the ants are coming in. If you do find it, put black pepper there, too, so that the ants won't be able to re-enter.
Third, you can create traps for the ants. They like sweet food especially, so you can use the many sweet foods found in your fridge and pantry—things like maple syrup, peanut butter, and honey—to trap them. To make such a trap, combine 1 tablespoon of your jelly/syrup/honey with 1 tablespoon of borax. After preparing this combination, place pinholes in a cardboard box, spread the mixture onto a cracker, and place a cracker inside the box. Traps are better set at night, since that's when the ants will be looking for food in and around your house.
You can also repel them away from your home by placing coffee grinds near their points of entry. The ants are naturally repulsed by the coffee; the don't like its acidic small, and a cup of joe can burn them. You can swap the grinds with baby powder; sugar ants don't like substances with strong odors, and nor do they like powdery substances. You can also stop them from getting into the pantry and cabinets by hanging garlic in them. You can also put dried bay leaves in these entrances. Another natural deterrent is the humble cinnamon stick, which you can put anywhere inside your house in order to keep the ants at bay.
A fourth method is to grow mint plants around the foundations of your home. When you do this, the ants will naturally be repulsed, and they will decide not to create their colony's nest inside your house. Another means of refusing them access is by putting dried bay leaves in your cabinets and by putting chalk in each entrance and point of entry. It's said that sugar ants don't like walking through chalk, so they'll avoid it when they can.
Finally, if natural methods and the other ones we've outlined haven't been working, you can always use pesti- or insecticides. Be aware that, much of the time, these psychological drugs haven't been properly screened in the country you're staying in.
All of this being said, you need to realize that preventing sugar ants from coming into your home is more effective than simply getting them out of your home. After all, even if you kill a bunch of them, there's nothing stopping a new invasion from coming into your house the next day. But if, on the contrary, you take on actions for them to stop coming, then the problem will resolve itself in quick time.
In order to prevent ants from getting into your house and food, you must not leave food lying around when you're not eating. Put it away in the fridge or the pantry when you're done with it; don't just leave it out overnight. If you have to leave dishes out overnight, clean them in such a way that no debris are left over. Wash dishes right away after supper, and clean your kitchen carefully so that there's no buildup of debris, crumbs, trash, and remnants of foodstuffs. And, of course—though it sounds obvious now; but, as they say, hindsight is 20/20—don't put things in the pantry (or, worse yet, on the counter) when they need to be inside the fridge. Such items include juices, soft drinks, and even coffee and tea.
Another means of prevention is by sealing both cracks and the foundation of your house; this will prevent the ants from getting inside. For the same reason, you need to get new wooden frames and shingles, if yours are getting old. You might also need to replace the roof, if it's damaged and old.
At the end of the day, we should remember not to be unduly cruel toward the ants. They have their place in the ecosystem; they eat plants and dead animals, which allows the cycle of life to continue. Thus, there's another reason why prevention is a good solution: the fewer of them get into your house, the fewer of them you'll have to killed. That's the kind of logic everyone can appreciate.

by Muhammad Salman | Prof. Dr. Muhammad Sarwar Khan | Dr. Jawaria Ali Khan | Prof. Dr. Azhar.
Material type: Book; Format: print ; Literary form: not fiction Publisher: 2010Dissertation note: The loss of fluids through diarrhea can- cause severe dehydration which is one cause of death on diarrhea sufferers. In present study cattle calves up to six months of age in district Gujranwala were examined for parasitic infestation. The samples were collected from different Government farms, veterinary hospitals and from villagers having livestock. A total number of 300 cattle calves were examined during the period of three months. The effect of parasitic diarrhea according to the factors like sex and age were studied, the percentage of parasitic diarrhea in cattle calves were also studied. Collected samples were processed at medicine laboratory of university of veterinary and animal sciences Lahore. Fecal samples were processed for different coporological tests, including direct smear, floatation, sedimentation, McMaster and for cryptosporidial examination, staining of fecal smears were used. Blood parameters like Hemoglobin level, TLC & DLC was also be studied. The faecal samples result showed that 147 samples were positive from parasitic diarrhea out of 300 samples and percentage was 49 % including cryptosporidium, cooperia, oesophagostomum, fashiodorous, toxocara, coccidian & eurytrema. The samples were collected age wise as 0-1 months, 42 samples were positive out of 90 samples showing 46.6%, in 1-3 months 47 samples were positive out of 95 samples showing 49.47 %, 1n3- 6 months 58 samples were positive out of 115 showing 50.43 %.while the blood parameters Hb level, TLC & DLC were altered in parasitic diarrhea which showed milk decrease in TLC & DLC as compared to normal values while Hb level was also decreased in parasitic diarrhea.

Clinico-Epidemiological And Experimental Observations On Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease Among Domesticated Cats
by Abeera Naureen (2007-VA-541) | Prof. Dr. Muhammad Sarwar Khan | Prof. Dr. Muhammad Arif Khan | Prof. Dr. Azhar Maqbool.
Material type: Book; Literary form: not fiction Publisher: 2015Dissertation note: Idiopathic Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (iFLUTD) has been known as a major as well as important problem throughout the world especially the veterinary profession. Nicks of this problem also found in Pakistan, however the veterinarians are usually unable to properly diagnose this disease due to lack of knowledge as well as the ancillary diagnostic equipment availability for this disease. Present study was divided into two phases. Phase – 1 included clinico-epidemiological data. To this end, target of more than 502 domesticated client-owned cats of either sex, age, breed, etc showing signs of feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) as per Buffington (1994) were examined accordingly from 3 different cities (Lahore, Faisalabad, and Islamabad) of Pakistan). All data collected was based on a predesigned proforma by using structured interview of the owners. Diagnosis was solely based on serum-cortisol levels, urinalysis, radiography and ultrasonography. Phase II involved experimental trial. The data obtained from whole of the study was then presented in tabulated form as frequencies and percentages. Treatment and outcome of the disease were also analyzed accordingly. According to the present study conducted it is proved that iFLUTD is present among the cats in Pakistan. Its proper cognizance among the Pakistani veterinarians is still non-existent and is misdiagnosed as colic or constipation issues in cats. The present study was undertaken to bring iFLUTD into the reportive of small animal practitioners working in Pakistan. The present study debunked various previous notions like iFLUTD is associated with commercial diets and canned foods only if we talk about this region majority of cases were noticed that had home-cooked food given by the owner. Moreover, cases in Siamese breed are larger than Persian breed. It has been strongly associated with Indoor housing management. Additional work is still needed to explore untouched areas of epidemiology including factors other than those being studied in the previous literature. Academicians in veterinary pathology and veterinary medicine of Pakistani universities should embrace this malady in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) curricula. According to the present study results it is concluded that two factors like stress and pain accelerate the sympathetic nervous system outflow compared to normal felines leading to the inflammatory response. Thus the stress factor must be reduced in the form of making hiding places for cats at home to reduced down the fear factor along with enhancing the feeling of owes for that particular place. Moreover, some more practices should be performed by the owner to reduce down the stress factor like playing with the pet, giving full attention, placing toys and other attractive things like yarn balls at the feline places (where they live/placed). There was no significant difference found between the groups based on the food with health score along with the therapeutic judgment. Hence, it is recommended that more experiments should be performed on larger scale to assess GAG therapy on increased number of felines and need of hour is to conduct more veterinary studies to get information and authenticity for its use against iFLUTD. From this study conducted, I recommend to the owners that the cats must be provided with the indoor hiding places and play with their pets in order to reduce the stress factor that increases the risk of idiopathic lower urinary tract disease. Moreover, the trend of home-cooked diet should be reduced along with increase in water intake by the cat. Availability: Items available for loan: UVAS Library [Call number: 2420-T] (1).

Neptune Hasn't Changed at All in 'Veronica Mars' Season 4
Featured TV and Movies
July 21, 2019 July 22, 2019 Elizabeth MacAndrew
'Veronica Mars' Season 4. Image via Hulu.
Marshmallows, our favorite private investigator is back. There was a time when canceled TV shows didn't get funded for movies by passionate fans or followed up with revival seasons on streaming services like Hulu, but Veronica Mars has always played by her own rules. She's no longer a teenager now, but Neptune, the home town she despises but can never escape hasn't really changed much at all.
Warning: Article contains spoilers for all four seasons, the movie, and the two novels.
Some time has passed since Veronica and the gang last graced our screens, so I'm going to start off with where each of the main characters are in their lives when the bombing goes off.
Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell): Our titular heroine abandoned a law firm offer to return to Neptune and help fight the rising tide of corruption that had run rampant since she had been gone. She is still involved with Logan Echolls and they share a dog named Pony. Career wise, business is as usual, but personally things are about to get shaken up. Veronica went through a lot of traumatic events as a teenager and never truly dealt with them in a healthy way. When Logan proposes to her she is not only blindsided but terrified. Between the mess of her parents' marriage, the Echolls marriage, and all the marriages she is paid to uncover infidelities in, she has serious trust issues. She turns down Logan pretty hard much to the dismay of Logan and Veronica (LoVe) shippers everywhere.
Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni): Veronica's father seems to still be struggling with the physical aftermath of the near fatal car crash he was involved in as part of the movie plot line. His insurance is never quite where he needs it. He's still using a cane, he needs a huge cocktail of medication, and has an inattentive physical therapist to work with. Worse yet, he's showing signs of memory issues that get increasingly worrisome over the season.
Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring): The on-again off-again love of Veronica's life has always brought a certain set of dramatic and toxic baggage to their relationship which has often caused the off-again moments. That's not the Logan we see ourselves with now. In the movie we saw some definite signs of maturing and working towards stability with his life as a decorated Naval pilot who was trying to guide an ex-girlfriend through sobriety. Even so, there were still flashes of that hot-tempered and self-destructive Logan we remember from his younger years since Logan was just as damaged as Veronica in his own way. The flirtatious snark of their relationship is still there (a scene where Veronica propositions him in front of the unaware-he's-taken spring breakers ogling him is particularly funny). This Logan is now working in Naval Intelligence and has figured that he needs to find a healthy way to deal with his years of anger and problematic behavior. In fact, he regularly sees a therapist. Keith and Wallace are even more supportive of him being in Veronica's life now. Logan's calm handling of Veronica turning down his proposal shows us the man we always hoped Logan could be. His biggest concern is that Veronica was more in love with the unhealthy cycle of drama in their relationship and won't be able to accept the man he is now.
Wallace Fennel (Percy Daggs III): He appears briefly, but fans will be delighted to see that Wallace has settled into married life and has an adorable son of his own. Maybe this kid will get warned about the slippery slope of friends who need favors.
Eli "Weevil" Navarro (Francis Capra): In the movie, being a married former criminal with a daughter he took to tea parties at doll stores was amazing. Of course, this is Neptune, and no one who isn't wealthy gets to have nice things. A panicked Celeste Kane, the wealthiest divorcée in Neptune, wrongfully shot him and corrupt local law enforcement tried to frame up Weevil for bigger crimes. Weevil's perfect life came out from under him. In one of the books, Keith, Veronica, and public defender Cliff McCormack (Daran Norris) tried to help him sue the business out of the second Sheriff Lamb and his goons. Weevil took a deal out from under them as he worried about providing for his family. This deal caused a fallout with the Mars, he got pulled back into the crime life, and his wife took their daughter and left him. Weevil has often been on the edge of a redemption story, but he always ends up kicked right back into a life of crime by circumstances often out of his control. He's been hired by a man named Clyde to use his boys to cause an uptick in local crime including graffiti and muggings.
Dick Casablancas (Ryan Hansen): Like Wallace, Dick appears briefly. The reassuring part to fans is that Dick has changed not at all except for the fact he's now in the fringe stages of an acting career. There's a certain reassurance in this, and his shenanigans can't help but to make fans who missed Ryan Hansen smile.
Neptune, California: The town with no middle class should truly be considered a character in itself. While an out-of-prison Big Dick Casablancas (Dick's father) is trying to return Neptune to its former glory, it's all really an excuse for him and his Chino buddy Clyde (J.K. Simmons) to make a fortune gentrifying the Neptune Boardwalk. The gap between the have and have nots is wider and more socially relevant than ever. The police force does not have the corruption issues it previously has had, and while not quite offering open arms to Keith, they do take his offering of information much more seriously.
Now that some of our favorite players have been reviewed, it's time to look at the mystery at the core of the season. At the height of spring break frenzy, a motel owned by one of the not so wealthy locals is the target of a devastating bomb. The victims include Sul the motel owner, Jimmy a typical bro, a studious kid named Gabriel whose aunt in the ex-wife of the head of a notorious Mexican Drug Cartel, and Tawny whose fiancee Alex is the brother of a rising star politician (Congressman Daniel Maloof). Witnessing the explosion was Sul's daughter Matty and pizza delivery guy Penn (Patton Oswald). Alex lost several fingers in the explosion but actually survived. It's his wealthy "Middle-Eastern JFK" brother that ends up hiring the Mars family to discover who set off the bomb.
Veronica is particularly drawn to the case because she can tell that the events are going to inflict the sort of damage on Matty that she faced at that age. Can Veronica actually right things for Matty or can a girl who never truly dealt with her own damage know how to change Matty's fate?
The case quickly becomes complicated when Gabriel's aunt gets her drug cartel ex to send a pair of goons to kill whoever killed Gabriel. This is going to cause issues for Mars Investigations as pizza guy Penn sees himself as a "murderhead" and amateur detective himself. He catches wind that the Maloofs tried to pay Tawny fifty grand to ditch Alex and publicly blames them for the murder. Tawny's money grubbing family even turns up to confront the Maloofs outside the morgue when Alex has just ID'd Tawny's body to demand the heirloom engagement ring Alex gave Tawny. Neither family knows where it is, although Tawny's family wants it and Mama Maloof does not want them in possession of it.
Matty tries her hand at being a teenage detective herself and follows a lead that takes her into the den of Neptune's infamous Fitzpatrick family. Veronica's horror over this is full of all kinds of irony. Matty insists to Veronica that the Kitzpatricks sent someone different to stock the vending machine that week and he put gum in the machine (they never have gum). Matty's lead turns up a Fitzpatrick associate with a Chino connection and bomb skills whom Matty recognizes as being the different vending machine guy. Keith gets this news to the new Chief of Police fast, but the alleged bomber blows himself up.
The Maloof situation escalates dramatically. Tawny's family gets violent and Logan gets a side job as private security for them. Daniel Maloof has to admit to the Mars he has a blackmailer with some naughty interactions between himself and a cam girl. The cartel boys come in after him and before all is said and done, Daniel ends up hiring them to take out Tawny's gold digging relatives.
Veronica believes Big Dick and Clyde are the masterminds behind everything especially when she nearly gets mugged by a PCHer who was carrying suspiciously crisp hundred dollar bills on him. She even goes to Chino to try to sort out the Chino connection angle which includes conversations with a pair of season three's villains. Veronica finally pays Weevil a visit and the two eventually have an emotional blow out over everything. Veronica calls out Weevil for returning to the hood life when she, her dad, and Cliff tried to help him, eventually driving away his wife and daughter. Weevil calls out Veronica on having choices he doesn't including degrees from Stanford and Columbia that she isn't even using.
Keith has his own issues. Clyde has reached out to befriend him and offers up access to Big Dick's health network which may get him the help he needs especially if he's looking at dementia. Being uninsured and facing scary health issues is so spot on for the times it hurts. Keith thinks it may be time to retire.
Another bombing literally blows the head off of a spring break bro whose daddy runs an online casino. Daddy wants answers and is willing to pay $250,000 to whoever can bring them to him. Now Penn and his murderheads really get going.
Vinnie Van Lowe (Ken Marino) turns up, hired by Daniel and Alex's mother to find the ring. Vinnie has changed not at all. He thinks Matty may have found the ring at the motel after the explosion.
Veronica's personal life gets tricker. Logan wants her to go to therapy with him, she resists. He also gets called off for an unknown amount of time by the Navy. Leo D'Amato (Max Greenfield) turns up in his new FBI job when the local police force is not getting enough answers and is getting a little too flirtatious with Veronica. Veronica also messed things up with Nicole, the fierce owner of a local bar that becomes a bombing target. At one point Keith thinks Nicole could be causing the bombings especially when it's revealed her bar is already been sold. Veronica bugs her new friend and blows up the friendship when she comes clean about it later.
During all of this, we still suspect Big Dick and his buddy Clyde. A connection is made to Penn though, and when Veronica and Keith go after him to get the reward money, Keith forgets to load his gun. After a tense face-off with the cartel boys, Weevil comes in to save the day. Veronica, shaken by things, realizes she does want to marry Logan after all.
The mystery keeps bouncing between Penn and Big Dick as our culprits until the easiest solution comes out to be that it's both. Big Dick and Clyde are responsible for the motel bombing and the petty crime increase to help force the owners of Boardwalk properties to sell on the cheap. Big Dick also had the bomber killed to cover it up. The other bombings were caused by Penn. Penn mistakenly thought a nail that went into his back during the first bomb was part of the MO and repeated it, a lash out at spring breakers after an incident three years ago where a group of frat boys nearly drowned him for messing up a pizza order. The nail found in Penn was actually from a piece of Matty's nail art on the wall and not a bomb.
Matty tries to sneak into Big Dick's place to find evidence and instead witnesses events likely to cause years of therapy. Big Dick had promised Clyde the motel land and when he can't get it and brushes off Clyde, Clyde lets the cartel know who caused the motel bombing. They stab and behead Big Dick.
In a race against time, Veronica and Keith try to decipher a letter left by Penn over the final bomb. They manage to save the new Kane High at its dedication ceremony. Convinced everything is over, Veronica prepares for her courthouse wedding to Logan. Keith discovers he does not have dementia, it's simply a medication reaction. With Wallace and Keith as witnesses, Veronica marries Logan at long last.
Viewers should have known there would be a catch. With an episode called "Years, Continents, Bloodshed," as a throwback to a favorite Veronica and Logan line, we had not seen enough bloodshed worthy of such a title with limited minutes left.
Veronica missed part of the clues Penn left behind and as she went to get a shower before heading off to a Sedona honeymoon, and Logan went to move the car, a bomb that Penn had left behind takes out Logan forever.
A year later we discover Veronica has been telling this story to Jane (Mary McDonnell) the very therapist that Logan wanted her to see. She's finally trying to deal with her issues in a healthy way. Keith had a hip surgery covered by the reward money and they have both taken Matty under their wing. Keith is still investigating and even has a girlfriend. The gentrifiers win and Clyde does very well for himself having let Big Dick take what blame didn't go to Penn. Penn is making himself famous while he's behind bars spinning things so that only 40% of those polled find him guilty. The man in a cockroach of a level even Vinnie Van Lowe can never achieve. Veronica lost her rent-controlled home and she and Pony moved in with Keith. The one hold out against gentrification is the motel, though. Matty managed to come up with the funds to fix it. It turns out she had found the ring after all and pawned it for the funds. Veronica is in demans as an investigator and taking cases that often take her out of town now, she seems to be trying to discover a way to make herself happy. On what would have been her first wedding anniversary, Jane forwards Veronica a voicemail Logan sent to her with reasons why he admired and wanted to marry Veronica including her ability not to break over things that would have destroyed other people.
Logan's death is a huge shocker and has already upset a lot of fans. I can't but help but to feel it shouldn't have been completely unexpected. Even in the movie, Veronica admitted her life as a Neptune PI had consequences for those around her. Through the seasons, victories came at a price, or were taken away by other set backs. Weevil's family life, Deputy Sacks, and Keith's health were the victims of the movie, and that doesn't include what went down in the original TV run either. It was only a matter of time before Veronica lost either Keith or Logan for good. Neptune has never been kind to the Mars family and has played as true to itself as ever. While I loved Logan as much as the other fans (we were movie Kickstarter backers and my husband got me one of the Jason Dohring autographs), I have come to a numb acceptance of his fate. I'm as sad as a fan can be about it, but not in a way where I would give up the show. Veronica has always been a flawed but a fierce fighter. I want to see her fight for her happiness no matter what Neptune thinks it can throw at her. "Blows that would destroy most people, she always picks herself back up," Logan said as his final words about the love of his life. The real strength, the real story of Veronica, has always been how she picks herself up again. I hope to see that story unfold in a fifth season.

Anger often covers up underlying sadness. Sadness makes you feel weak, listless and unmotivated. So your psyche gives you anger to fire you up. Anger motivates you to survive.
But if you stay angry, you never deal with the sadness. It festers and often turns into a depression that lasts for a long time, keeping you in a holding pattern until you are ready to face the sadness and its impact on you.
Holding onto sadness and putting it in a burial chamber can be a way of denying the source of the loss that led you to begin the grieving process. You are left stuck in one stage of mourning – that of anger.
When that anger has no external target to focus on, because you can't blame anyone in particular, you turn the anger inward and it becomes depression. You hide your sadness and loss inside your depression.
Depression protects you from having to deal with overwhelming grief and sadness that has no words.
compromises the growth and integration of new neurons in your hippocampus (memory center of brain) and olfactory bulb (smell center of brain), the two main areas of neurogenesis in the brain. (Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, May 2015).
So why not face the loss and the sadness that goes with it?
Did you lose a parent when you were very young?
What if you are unable to grieve the loss of a miscarriage?
Have you lost the idealistic faith in the perfection of your parents or yourself?
Whatever the origin of your sadness or grief, stop it from turning into a deep depression that robs you of years of your life.
Make that call and let me help you get in touch with the sadness and grief that is blocking you from living your life to its fullest extent.

Thomas Nelson / 2007 / Trade Paperback

Wassalou – Afro Pop
For appearances in the Global Village...contact us anytime!
Jambo and welcome to our global village! We are Wassalou, a contemporary Afropop band that was founded in April 1998 in this Village. Afropop is a term used to refer to contemporary African pop music. This term does not necessarily refer to a specific style or sound, but rather is used as a general reference to popular music originating in Africa. Our repertoire consists of original songs as well as covers of legendary African artists and bands such as Osibisa, Papa Wemba, Hugh Masekela, Manu Dibango and Fela Kuti, to name just a few. We also feature other African dance music similar to that which can be heard on Paul Simon's Graceland album. Playing in the Village is a wonderful opportunity to share the music and dance of our African heritage. We would like to acknowledge Harry Belafonte who is our inspiration and the patron of the movement that brought the African sound to contemporary popular music in the person of Miriam Makeba. We hope that we have touched your hearts with our performance and look forward to seeing all of you time and time again in our global village. Until then, we say, kwaharini, which means, go well, as we do not say goodbye….it is not in our language. Live large and love life, Harambe…people working together in unity. Share our music with your friends and let them share it with their friends!

Your Week In Film: Jurassic, JJ, Jungle, Jason and Jon (Favreau)
Stephen O'Nion
1. Tony Stark to return for Spider-Man: Homecoming
It has long been suspected that Robert Downey Jr. has been looking to hang up his (iron) boots and retire from the MCU but that moment is not yet here. The actor has signed on to appear in upcoming reboot Spider-Man: Homecoming alongside Tom Holland as the titular hero and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May [via Deadline]. However, it looks like the brief dalliance with Michael Keaton for "a villainous role" is over. Marvel and the Birdman star have failed to agree terms and it looks like director Jon Watts will have to go back to the drawing board; hey, maybe Val Kilmer's available? In any case, early word on Holland, who makes an appearance as the young webslinger in Captain America: Civil War, is overwhelmingly positive so here's hoping for something special from film's most prolific rebootee.
2. Lionsgate conjure up a director for Now You See Me 3
In a feat unexplained by mere logic, Now You See Me is a moneymaking franchise. As a result, Lionsgate have already greenlit a third instalment before Now You See Me 2 has even made its theatrical bow at the box office. Of course, should the most recent instalment disappear from before our very eyes within a couple of weeks then this would likely be reversed but we'll just bamboozle you with a story about Tyler Perry joining Blade Runner 2 or something – a classic piece of misdirection. Variety reports that Jon M. Chu will return to direct the project, with Lionsgate confident that Chu's second instalment will produce a solid return. Bafflingly, it's likely the project will be saddled with the title Now You See Me 3, rather than Now You Don't but little else is known.

3. Jon Favreau anointed King of the Jungle, Box Office
Few could have predicted that Jon Favreau's reboot/remake/re-whatever of beloved Disney property The Jungle Book would have gone on to be such a success. Not only has the film garnered a critical reception that must have Zack Snyder seething with jealousy, the film has now taken $290 million worldwide. It was a bold move on Disney's part to drop their jungle romp so close to the inevitable box-office behemoth that is Captain America: Civil War but, then again, they own that one too…
4. Jason Bourne hacks, whacks and smacks his way around a trailer
"Why would he come back now?" asks Tommy Lee Jones in the new trailer for Jason Bourne. Well, Tommy, it's because the Rambo for the Wikileaks generation has never been more relevant. Even though it's been a whole nine years since he last took a hardback book to an assailant's throat, Bourne is back – armed only with his fists, his ingenuity and his collection of firearms. Jason Bourne is set for a July 29 release and will see Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon team up once again in order to expose two hours' worth of conspiracies before exiting on Moby's most vital contribution to global culture. Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones also star.
5. Gary Oldman called up to play Churchill
The fact that Gary Oldman has only been nominated for one Oscar over the course of his fantastic career is one of film's great injustices – the fact that that is still one more nomination than John Goodman is practically criminal, but that is a battle for another day. Well, guess what? The British thespian is in talks to play Winston Churchill – an award-baiting role if ever there was one – for Joe Wright in his upcoming WWII drama Darkest Hour [via Deadline]. After Pan's near-universal panning, Joe Wright needs a hit. Thankfully, with The Theory of Everything's Antony McCarten on scripting duties, the man behind 2007's Atonement should be in safe hands. And sure, Oldman doesn't look much like Churchill but he doesn't look about four feet tall either, and we know how well Tiptoes turned out.
6. Daisy Ridley taken under the wing of hobbity mentor, J.J. Abrams
When she's not busy banishing just a little of the darkness that blights our day-to-day lives, Daisy Ridley also acts. And, while she has already been announced as the probable Lara Croft in an upcoming Tomb Raider reboot and is executive producing The Eagle Huntress, it looks like she might find time to reunite with J.J. Abrams. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions may be busy casting God Particle, but they're also looking at remaking the Israeli TV movie Kol Ma for Paramount Pictures, from a script by Megan Holley [via The Wrap]. Mariella Heller is the likely candidate for the director's chair.
The plot concerns a woman whose boyfriend died in a car accident 50 years prior to her own passing and, on the spiritual ferryboat to Deathville, she is presented with the choice to erase her memory of the last 50 years and start again as a 22 year-old or depart as usual. Ridley would likely play a younger version of the protagonist so it's a pretty good bet that there's either a helluva lot of flashbacks or she chooses to start again. Expect a sequel that concerns itself with other fairly ridiculous questions, such as "would Daisy Ridley would rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?"
7. The Magnificent Seven's trailer is a Western oddity…
Whoever claims responsibility for editing the first trailer for Antoine Fuqua's remake of The Magnificent Seven has clearly never seen a Western before. In fact, it feels like the whole formula – choppily edited posturing and a few action licks to a pop record – was ripped straight from Suicide Squad's marketing team. For now, this looks rather odd but, with the film set for release on September 23 this year, we'll see.
8. It's "welcome… to Jurassic World 2", J.A. Bayona
With Colin Trevorrow trading in creatures from 65 million years ago for the rather more vague "a long time ago", Universal have turned their blinking reptilian eyes to J.A. Bayona for the Jurassic World sequel they've been hatching. Long considered the frontrunner for the job, having exited production of World War Z 2 this past January, Bayona will now get to battle another species that should have probably stayed dead. Production on JW2 will likely start at the end of this year, or the beginning of 2017, and though plot details are close to non-existent, Trevorrow has mooted in an interview with Wired that it could concern weaponised dinos and potentially even the idea of open-sourced creation. Whatever it's about, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and a T-Rex are likely to be involved.
9. Studio Ghibli set to return
After Japanese animation masters Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata retired with the one-two hit of The Wind Rises and The Tale of Princess Kaguya, the future looked a little bleak for the studio who gave the world My Neighbour Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and a whole collection of other animation classics. Fear not though, Studio Ghibli is set to return with When Marnie Was There from Arietty director Hiromasa Yonebayashi. An English language trailer has been released ahead of its UK release on June 10. Marnie was recently nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.
10. Alfonso Cuarón swings his way onto Jungle Book: Origins
Two weeks ago we fearlessly reported how Warner Bros. was moving its own adaptation of The Jungle Book – helmed by Andy Serkis – back in the schedules by a full year to allow the team more work with the pioneering performance capture technology being used. Serkis himself was said to be ''absolutely thrilled'' with the decision and all seemed well. However, Deadline reports that production has actually completed on the picture and Alfonso Cuarón has been brought on board to see if there are ways to improve certain aspects of the picture. Cuarón isn't taking over the project. He's there as a friend of the studio, willing to sweep a broom, rig a light, or suggest a thematic deviation from Act 2: Scene 16a. Serkis' (and not Cuarón's) Jungle Book: Origins (now simply and confusingly retitled Jungle Book) stars Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hollander and is due in cinemas October 19 2018.

"Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to change our very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only," Mr. Trump tweeted.
The downside for the immigrants would be a high cost of living in the cities.
The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University announced this week that an analysis found that immigrants in sanctuary cities such as New York and Los Angeles are 20 per cent less likely to be arrested out in the community than in cities without such policies.
"With immigrants being less likely to commit crimes than the US-born population, and with sanctuary jurisdictions being safer and more productive than non-sanctuary jurisdictions, the data damns this proposal as a politically motivated stunt that seeks to play politics with peoples' lives," said George Gascon, district attorney for San Francisco.
Mr. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated over the situation at the border, where tens of thousands of immigrant families are crossing each month, many to claim asylum.
The idea to ship immigrants to Democratic strongholds was considered twice in recent months, but the White House and Department of Homeland Security said the plan had been rejected. But Mr. Trump said on Friday he was still considering the idea.
He added that, "The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!" Wilson Romero is an immigrant from Honduras who chose to settle in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Romero (27), was separated from his daughter, now 7, by federal authorities at the US border at El Paso, Texas, last year and jailed for three months before being released and making his way to live with his mother in San Jose, California. There he was reunited with his daughter, who attends public kindergarten.
The plan discussed by Mr. Trump would also have financial, logistical and legal issues.
Over 100 local governments around the country have adopted a variety of these polices "New York City will always be the ultimate city of immigrants – the President's empty threats won't change that," New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio said in a statement.
But Mr. Trump seemed ready to step up his fight with the cities, vowing to "give them an unlimited supply" of immigrants from the border.

BUILDING K. CAMPUS DIAGONAL BESÓS. UPC
The building, which occupies the southeastern corner of the Campus Diagonal Besós, consists of two volumes: one volume of four stories that are geared towards the central Rambla of the Campus and a seven plants volume oriented towards the Ronda Litoral. Between the two volumes is provided a longitudinal central courtyard, from north to south, crossed by two corridors, allowing natural ventilation and lighting of the central areas. To the west the front moves toward the Rambla, defining a covered patio that allows natural lighting and ventilation in the basement laboratories. In the two underground floors the building occupies the entire area within the service tunnel and the area of building A and J, establishing the complete connection with the entire Campus, where the basement -2 intended parking, or sectioned connection where the basement -1, intended for laboratories. The plants are organized into circulation rings that connect the three centers of circulation, with glass corridors that cross the central courtyard and side or central corridors parallel to the patio, so that each floor is divided into strips of varying width. The two communications centers of the high block are sectored from the rest of the plant. Communication spaces have a strong visual connection to the outside, either at their ends, in connection links, or contact areas with terraces or incoming front, so as to improve the conditions of visual projection and comfort them and strengthen their role as unifying elements of the building. Within the smooth envelope consisting of the anodized aluminum slats, adjustable or forming panels, are a series of recesses of varying depth that project outward from the circulation spaces, becoming at the same time, reference holes in the different views of the building. To the east there is a hole torn entering the rotation of the building to the south, encouraging the view to the sea. The top three floors are crossed by a vertical hole that produces an open courtyard in front, balancing the relationship with both the hollow in the third floor as the ground floor porch. To the west a vertical hole drilled in front of the block both low as the high, defining a clear cross-section in continuing the building fronts to the Rambla.

The Competition Season for this year is over now.
We did our best but because of a little misunderstanding of the new rules, we just made it to the 10th place after two runs and so we did not qualify for the final. In Solo Thomas did his best, but couldn't reach the top 15 to be in the final run. So he finnished 16th overall in San Simione.
The second and last Worldcup Stop was the Acrojam in Obertraun. Thomas competed in category solo. The skill level was really high but he did three really smooth runs with always nice groundspiral to raft landing and finished on the 10th place.

S.E.S. (Hangul: 에스이에스; acronym for Sea, Eugene, Shoo) was a South Korean girl group formed in 1997 by SM Entertainment, featuring three members: Bada, Eugene, and Shoo. Their debut album I'm Your Girl sold 650,000 copies, becoming the third best-selling album by a female group in South Korea. Their follow-up albums, Sea & Eugene & Shoo in 1998, Love in 1999 and A Letter from Greenland in 2000 also became best-sellers.

Early in their career, they were dubbed as the female counterpart of H.O.T., who were also their labelmates. S.E.S. were challenged by groups like Fin.K.L, Jewelry and Baby V.O.X, which debuted around the same time and were also largely successful.

The group officially disbanded in December 2002, after unsuccessful contract renewal negotiations with Bada and Eugene while Shoo maintained her career with SM until 2006. They released the compilation album Beautiful Songs in mid-2003 as their final release.

In October 2016, the group's members were confirmed to form a reunion in order to celebrate their debut's 20th anniversary. SM later confirmed that the group would return with an album and a concert. In November 2016, the group's released the buzz single "Love [story]" under SM's music project SM Station as a part of their 20th anniversary project, which would later include a concert, an album and a reality program. Their 20th anniversary special album Remember was released on January 2, 2017, with double title tracks "Remember" and "Paradise".

History

1996–1997: Formation

Their official biography video states that Bada was the first one to be discovered, when Lee Soo-man saw her singing at her performing arts school in 1996. Taken by her voice, he quickly offered her a recording contract. Eugene, on the other hand, was not cast in person. Instead, she sent in a video from Guam, where she was living at the time, showcasing her bubbly personality. It reached SM executives, who agreed that she could be a star. The last member to be cast was Shoo, who was the only one to go through a "real" audition process. They quickly began training, going through voice, dance, and interview lessons.

1997–1998: Debut and Sea & Eugene & Shoo
They released their first album, I'm Your Girl and had their public debut on November 28, 1997. Their image at the time was very innocent, with their discography consisting mostly of love songs. In much of their promotional work, including an appearance on Lee Sora's "Propose" show, they displayed their multiple abilities: Eugene demonstrated her piano playing, while Bada and Shoo sung together. Eventually, the singles "I'm Your Girl" (which had future Shinhwa members Eric Mun and Andy Lee rapping in the introduction) and "Oh, My Love!" became huge hits for S.E.S., and they quickly became one of the top-selling groups in K-Pop.

Their second album, Sea & Eugene & Shoo, was released in 1998. The single "Dreams Come True", a cover of Finnish group Nylon Beat's "" ("Like a Fool"), became a hit along with "너를 사랑해 (I Love You)". Eventually, the album sold over 650,000 copies. Meguriau Sekai, a Japanese album, was released in the same year. In between their Korean albums, S.E.S. continued to release Japanese singles and albums, but those were never as widely received as their Korean works.

1999–2000: Love and rising popularity
At the end of 1999, their third album Love was released. It became their best-selling album, with over 762,000 copies sold. The title song from the album, "Love", a mid-tempo pop song, also became a success for the trio. The music video that accompanied the track was filmed in New York City and cost over US$1,000,000, an amount considered large for a music video at that time. The band's dark concept was later dropped at the end of their promotional schedule, and all three members reverted to a simpler image; the dance for "Twilight Zone" was subsequently changed as well. Promotional activities resumed at the end of January 2000.

2000: A Letter From Greenland

In December 2000, S.E.S.'s fourth album, A Letter From Greenland was released. "감싸 안으며 (Show Me Your Love)" was the first single from the album. A cover of j-pop star Misia's "Tsutsumi Komu Youni...", the song was a slow, ballad influenced by jazz. This single and album continued S.E.S.'s winning streak, helping to cement their status as K-pop's top group at the time. The second single, "Be Natural", also did fairly well, even though under-promoted in comparison to the first.

2001: Surprise

In the summer of 2001, a special album was released (receiving the ".5" label). Called Surprise, their 4.5th album was a collection of their Japanese songs re-recorded in Korean (with new instrumentals). The first single, "꿈을 모아서 (Just In Love)", brought S.E.S. back to a happy, poppy theme, although they avoided the cutesy images from their debut. The video was filmed in Thailand, and it matched the sunny theme of the song. The track was successful, and counted with heavy promotion. Promotions, however, were cut short after member Bada collapsed from exhaustion during a performance on one of Korea's major music shows. Because of that, their other singles from the album were released without newly filmed music videos, with them being compilation or montage videos instead. The album underperformed compared to the group's previous works, although it still managed to sell more than 350,000 copies.

2002: Choose My Life-U and Friend

Their major comeback album, Choose My Life-U was released in early spring of 2002. This was a continuation of their sophisticated theme, with the album booklet full of suggestive pictures of the girls. Their first single "U" was quite different, being very dance-intensive; the video showed the girls in dominant roles and positions, with Eugene even becoming a dominatrix for one scene. This song also did well and returned S.E.S. to the top of the charts. "Just A Feeling", their second single from this album, was an energetic dance track with an equally energetic video. However, their promotional schedule for the song was limited and it was not performed as often as their other singles. "Feeling" became one of their few singles to not hit the top spot on the music show charts.

Their comeback album Friend (their "5.5"th), was released at the end of the same year. The main single was titled "Soul II Soul (S.II.S.)", which was a play on words (as the number 2 can be pronounced as "E" in Korean). In the dark-themed music video, Bada is seen writing letters while crying, Eugene is cutting up bunnies in a room (suggesting mental instability), and Shoo is seen caressing a large ball of light on her bed. The song was never performed on television.

2003–2015: Post-disbandment activities and reunions

After releasing the compilation album Beautiful Songs, members followed solo careers in music and acting.

In 2007, the group celebrate their 10th anniversary, and in 2008, they appeared as a group on the South Korean show Happy Sunday. In October 2009, they made another appearance together on the show Come To Play.

In 2014, their song "Be Natural" was remade by their labelmate girl group Red Velvet, which at the time consisted of 4 members. The track served as their second official single.

Monday morning. Another one. I've always wondered exactly which Monday it was in the history of time that started off the grand tradition of the Monday Blues. Did Homo Erectus beat his chest one day when emerging from the cave and through a series of disgruntled moans and wails declare that that was the world's first ever case of the Monday Blues? Who knows, but regardless of whoever invented it, or wherever it stemmed from it is still a feeling that affects the global population whether they are working or not on that day.
"Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" isn't exactly a movie title that rolls off the tongue, nor is it one that would make every twenty-four-year-old male stop channel surfing and watch. Especially when it's a black and white film from 1948. But this film has immense charm and such a timeless quality to it that it can trick anyone into believing they are enjoying a lovely little Saturday afternoon movie.
The film sees classic MGM alumni Cary Grant and Myrna Loy (loaned out here to RKO Pictures) star as Jim and Muriel Blandings – a quaint middle aged couple with two daughters who are living in a cramped Manhattan apartment. The opening scene makes it comically obvious that the tiny apartment makes it almost impossible for the four characters to live in harmony together under the roof of this confined home – and yet they still have room for a canary and the archetypal post WW2 oversized black maid.
Above: The Blandings, canary, maid et al.
Jim Blandings starts his day by shuffling along the side of the bed, making his way through the cluttered apartment to the kitchen where he once again has to clamber around the kitchen table with his back against the wall, grab his morning cup of coffee then partake in a well choreographed bathroom ballroom with his wife in order to both make use of the sink and mirror. The hilarious realism in this scene is relatable to most viewers, both back in 1948 and in the modern world. It's in this very opening scene that the film's "sublime comedy" [Radio Times] comes into play and sets the foundations for what is a solid, well structured comedy that relies heavily on the great performances from it's three leading players – Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and in the role of their friendly lawyer Bill, Melvyn Douglas.
Who cares if this film was made in 1948? Who cares if it's in black and white? All you racist anti black and white film haters out there just have to give this film a chance. The themes, the story and the characters are all relatable to modern audiences. I was stunned at how advanced and how funny this film was even by today's standards. This film shows that even without violence, sexual humour and crudity films can still be very very funny.
When the film was first released in the late forties it received some criticism. The weak storyline coupled with the fact the main character moans about making $15,000 a year (which at the time most cinema goers would have been HAPPY to make in a year) seemed to not sit well with audiences or critics. But the star power of the two main leads saw the film do very well at the Box Office. Since then the film has garnered huge praise, primarily because it has withstood the test of time and managed to appeal to generations over and over (clearly, if it has appealed to me… but that's not saying much really). The only criticism I have of the film is the tedious and somewhat annoying and pointless voiceover that comes from Melvyn Douglas. It makes every scene in which the voiceover appears seem like one of those classically cheesy infomercials telling people how to use their new toaster oven or the old style film reels shown during the war warning people of the dangers of talking openly where Hitler's spies could hear.
But asides from that, this film, much like other plain-Jane old school family movies from the era (such as "Please Don't Eat the Daisies") has a wholesome lovely American warmth to it that may be sickeningly sweet at points, but underlying holds a realism and naturalism to it that can appeal to families through different generations and decades.
