1–10 mg/kg) produced dose related inhibition of the abdominal constrictions induced by acetic acid, a screening model for the assessment of analgesic or anti-inflammatory properties of new agents
(Fig. 5A). STK-1000R displayed a mean ID50 of 0.47 mg/kg (95% confidence limits 0.18–1.19), and at 10 mg/kg inhibited the number of writhes by 78 ± 6%. It is well known that acetic acid causes an inflammatory nociception, with direct activation of peripheral polymodal nociceptors GSK-3 signaling pathway and release of endogenous inflammatory mediators such as bradykinin, prostaglandin and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8) (Rodrigues et al., 2012). To confirm the effect of STK-1000R on inflammatory pain, we performed the formalin test. This model is constituted by two distinct phases: the neurogenic pain (phase I), which results from the direct irritating effect on nociceptors, and the inflammatory pain (phase II), mediated by a combination of peripheral input and spinal cord sensitization (Tjolsen, Berge, Hunskaar, Rosland, & Hole, 1992). Similarly, intraperitoneal administration of STK-1000R (0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/kg) inhibited only the inflammatory phase of formalin-induced nociceptive response, yielding ID50 of 0.09 (0.03–0.23) mg/kg (maximal inhibition of 80 ± 6% for STK-1000R 1 mg/kg) (Fig. 5B and
C). These findings suggest that Sirolimus in vivo the galactoarabinoglucuronoxylan present in the pulp of tamarillo (S. betaceum) promotes analgesic effects through anti-inflammatory mechanisms. This research was supported by Projeto universal (Process 475747/2010-0) provided by CNPq foundation (Brazil) and by Tacrolimus (FK506) PRONEX-Carboidratos. C.H. Baggio is recipient of post-doctoral scholarship from

“Xylopia frutescens Aubl. (Annonaceae) is a medicinal plant found in Central and South America, Africa and Asia ( Braga, 1976). In Brazil, it is popularly known as “embira”, “embira-vermelha” and “pau carne”, and its seeds are used in folk medicine as a bladder stimulant, to trigger menstruation, and to combat rheumatism, halitosis, tooth decay and intestinal diseases ( Correa, 1984 and Takahashi et al., 1995). The seeds have an acrid, aromatic taste and are used instead of pepper in Guyana. In Panama, its leaves are used to treat fever ( Joly et al., 1987). Studies examining the biological properties of X. frutescens have demonstrated antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral, antiplasmodial and anti-inflammatory activities ( Braga et al., 2000, Fournier et al., 1994, Jenett-Siems et al., 1999 and Matsuse et al., 1999). Numerous studies have demonstrated anticancer activity for the essential oils obtained from medicinal plants (Asekun and Adeniyi, 2004, Britto et al., 2012, Quintans et al., 2013, Ribeiro et al., 2012 and Sœur et al., 2011).

These are not heady times for the city of Sacramento. There is a lame — and lame duck — governor presiding over a nearly bankrupt state in the capital, while the economic downturn hit the city hard all around that capital.
But the Sacramento Kings provide a sliver of hope — his name is Tyreke Evans. The city could use that hope. In a small market like Sacramento you can’t afford to blow chances like this, they come along too rarely.
And so you have a big shakeup in the Kings front office — out is 11-year Team President John Thomas. In his place the already-hands-on owners will be taking an even more active role: Joe Maloof is now CEO, Gavin Maloof is team’s president, and Matina Kolokotronis is the one that will actually do all the work (heading business operations). At Fanhouse, Sam Amick breaks down the why.
(Thomas) was an old-guard business executive in a new NBA frontier, one where leaving money on the table is no longer an option and creativity in marketing and branding is not only desired but expected. Especially in a small market locale like Sacramento…
All the while, the Maloofs saw their organization losing value by the day. Arco Arena, where a sellout was once a near-guarantee every time out, was the least-populated building for home games in the NBA last season and is 29th this season. The perceived mismanagement on the business side was compounded by the losing, as the Kings haven’t been to the playoffs since 2006 and had a franchise-low 17 wins last season.
This season the Kings have been marketing like mad, and promoting Tyreke Evans at every turn. As they should have been.
Ultimately success off the court will be tied to success on it, but if that comes the fans of Sacramento will rally to the team again. For many years that was one of the loudest buildings in the league, a place with a real home court advantage. There is hope that those days are on their way back.
The Los Angeles Clippers have 14 fully guaranteed contracts on their roster, plus a partial guarantee for DeAndre Liggins (who likely is on the roster opening day). They also are pretty much set at center with DeAndre Jordan and Willie Reed (plus when they go small they can play Blake Griffin there, something I wish they’d do a little more).
That said, Doc Rivers — just a coach now — needs bodies for camp, so in comes former Duke star and Knick Marshall Plumlee, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Plumlee played in 21 games for the Knicks last season, logging a total of 190 minutes. He bounced between New York and the D-League Westchester Knicks, when down he averaged 12.3 points and 9.8 rebounds a game.
He’s not making the Clippers’ squad (barring injury), but he could show well and get noticed by other teams. Over the course of a season, there will be a need for bigs as guys go down injured, Plumlee is getting a chance to show how his game has developed. And he makes some money in the process.
Much like Kevin Durant, it appears that Kawhi Leonard is having a great summer.
In fact, this appears to be the Summer of Kawhi Smiling. Which, according to one of his longtime teammates, is a bit confusing.
When the Spurs posted a photo of Leonard with a big old grin on his face to their Twitter feed recently, San Antonio legend Manu Ginobili responded asking the team whether something was up.
Specifically, Ginobili said that he had seen more photos of Leonard smiling in the past two days then he had in six seasons as a teammate.
You can leave an anonymous tip about why Kawhi Leonard is smiling so much by contacting the produce manager at your local H-E-B.
“He played 20 years … I mean, yeah I guess.”
That’s what Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball had to say in this video after learning that Kobe Bryant was the all-time leader in steals for his franchise. You have to hand it to him, it is a little surprising. Even more surprising is that Bryant has 220 more than Magic Johnson at No. 2.
In a video posted to YouTube by Complex on Saturday, rookies tried to answer questions similar to the one Ball pondered over, like what team drafted their head coach, who the NBA all-time leading scorer is, and what day the first game of the season starts on.
A lot of the responses were pretty funny, including the guys getting wrong what year Adam Silver became NBA commissioner. Poor David Stern has already been forgotten about!
Meanwhile, Ball looked the sharpest. He’s going to come in handy when the Lakers play pub trivia.
It’s summertime in the NBA, which means a lot of us are just trying to find ways to keep our minds occupied until training camp starts.
Thankfully, some of us are artists, including u/bbnexus over at the r/NBA subreddit. Apparently they wanted to use some of the free time we have here during the NBA offseason for a little art project. Specifically, turning all of the remaining 29 NBA team logos into one featuring the Toronto Raptor.
The result is a pretty impressive amount of effort having gone into these logos. I personally think the edition for the Hawks, Timberwolves, and Celtics are the best ones.
A fun game to play here is to figure out which logo goes to which team.
Based on how some of the new Nike uniforms have turned out for teams this year, perhaps u/bbnexus should get the job designing a future ones based off of these logos.

On Friday, April 6 Associate Philosophy Professor William Jaworski was given notice of his suspension pending a formal university investigation, according to Assistant Vice President for Communications Bob Howe. Members of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee confirmed that before the decision was reached, they were consulted that day on the matter in accordance with university statutes, which states that the President of the university “may suspend a member of the instructional staff with pay…only if the President determines that serious and immediate harm to such person or others, or to the University, is threatened.” A department-wide meeting was also held that week between philosophy professors and the Provost Stephen M. Freedman, according to two people familiar with the gathering.
While the nature of the investigation remains confidential to general members of the university community, greater details of Jaworski’s past at Fordham, that include previous harassment allegations, have come to light less than two weeks after his suspension.
That following Monday, April 9, Stephen R. Grimm, the Philosophy department chairperson, informed Jaworski’s three classes of the investigation and his suspension. Accompanied by Associate Dean of the School of Professional & Continuing Studies Cira Vernazza to his final evening “AI, Sci-Fi and Human Value” class, Grimm spoke on several of the details surrounding the formal review, which were recorded in a transcript obtained by the Observer. In the conversation, Grimm mentioned that Jaworski has been the subject of multiple Title IX investigation claims in the past but refused to say if his current suspension was in anyway related to a Title IX investigation or the university’s sexual misconduct policies.
The Observer has reached out to Jaworski for comment and is awaiting his response. When pressed for information by one of the students in the class, Grimm said that the terms of Jaworski’s suspension ran “at least through the end of the fall semester.” Referring to Fordham’s investigative procedure, Grimm stated, “I think that they’ve always taken every allegation very seriously, and sometimes there’s been strong evidence,” adding “but sometimes the evidence has just been inconclusive.” Reports and concerns of Jaworski’s alleged behavior have dated back as far as 15 years, according to students and alumni who spoke to The Observer on background.
Andrew Clark, vice president of the Faculty Senate and chairperson of the French and Comparative Literature department, said in an email to the Observer that four years ago, he had reported a claim involving Jaworski to the Title IX office. “When I reported the Title IX case, the Title IX coordinator spoke with my advisee and they launched an investigation,” Clark said. “It is my understanding that there were other complaints being investigated at the time, or that had been recently investigated, as the Title IX coordinator seemed familiar with the situation.”
After filing the case, Clark said that the investigation never followed up with him, stating that he “did hear through channels that the investigation did not lead to charges.” The Observer has also learned that in other Title IX investigations of Jaworski, charges were not upheld.
Glenn Hendler, chairperson of the English department and the Faculty Senate Committee on Student Life noted in an email to the Observer that since assuming his role on the committee in 2017, “several students have come to speak with me about Professor Jaworski. So have several faculty members.” Because of his “commitment to respect confidentiality…as a ‘mandatory reporter’ under Title IX,” Hendler declined to comment any further on the nature of his conversations.
Sociology Professor Jeanne Flavin, who served as the chair of the committee prior to Hendler, wrote in an email to the Observer that since the spring semester of 2012, she has received and relayed “firsthand and secondhand accounts and complaints of Jaworski’s behavior (with regard to students as well as other faculty members) over the years.”
Aside from reporting their grievances to faculty members, students have taken to expressing their frustration outside of conventional university channels. One student used a Sharpie to carve the statement “fire Jaworski no sexual predators at Fordham #MeToo” on the front of Jaworski’s office door on Dec. 6, 2017. Jaworski responded to Fordham’s inquiry about the incident through email on Dec. 8, calling the student’s action a “dehumanizing attack” that caused his family to fear for his safety. “Please help investigators help discover who has perpetrated this latest hateful crime of defamation,” Jaworski wrote.
The student, a senior from the philosophy department, said that she found out about rumors surrounding the professor since she started taking philosophy classes. “I couldn’t even tell you when I found out, it was more just general knowledge that he was inappropriate with women students,” she said. After explaining that her decision to write on Jaworski’s door was in response to an incident with another professor, the student said that she did “the next best thing” and wrote on Jaworski’s door, out of frustration for multiple allegations that she stated the university knows about.
The Observer learned that in light of investigation, Jaworski has sought the legal counsel of Andrew T. Miltenberger, a New York attorney specializing in campus misconduct due process and Title IX. Describing himself as “the due-process guy,” according to the New York Times, Miltenberg has overseen more than 150 students in college disciplinary hearings across the country including the accused student in Columbia University “mattress girl” lawsuit.
The Observer has contacted the offices of Nesenoff & Miltenberg LLP where Miltenberg is a partner for a statement but was unable to reach him for comment at the time of this publication.
A previous version of this article identified the university provost as Stephen J. Freedman. His name is Stephen M. Freedman.

World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on October 10th to raise awareness of mental health issues and to advocate for better mental health care for all. This year's theme is Mental health is a human right, which is a reminder that everyone has the right to the best possible mental health care, regardless of their age, race, gender, income, or social status.
Children and families can be particularly vulnerable to mental health problems, especially in the North East. Around 1 in 10 children in the Tees Valley region have mental health difficulties. Mental health problems can have a significant impact on a child's development, education, and relationships.
There are many factors that can contribute to mental health problems in children and families, including poverty, trauma, and abuse. However, there are also many things that can be done to protect and promote children's mental health.
Here are some tips for supporting children's and families' mental health:
- Create a safe and supportive environment. Children need to feel loved and safe in order to thrive. Make sure that they have a home where they feel loved and respected, and where they know that they can come to you with any problem.
- Talk to your children about their mental health. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it's important to talk to your children about it openly and honestly. Let them know that it's okay to feel sad, angry, or scared sometimes.
- Set a good example. Children learn by watching the adults in their lives. Make sure that you are taking care of your own mental health. Model healthy coping mechanisms, such as exercise, relaxation techniques, and spending time with loved ones.
- Seek professional help if needed. If you are concerned about your child's mental health, don't hesitate to seek professional help. There are many resources available to help children and families with mental health problems.
Here at CFNE, we are part of the Getting Help Offer alongside Alliance Psychological Services, which aims to provide support for children and families struggling with their mental health and emotional wellbeing. We receive referrals for children and/or families through schools, and then may offer an initial assessment to gather further information. We then may be able to offer various support pathways, such as, Low-Intensity Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Counselling, Parenting Support and Systemic Family Work. If this is something you think you child and/or family would benefit from, have a look at Alliance’s website to see whether we are able to offer any support.
On World Mental Health Day, let's all pledge to support children's and families' mental health. We can all do our part to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The Australian fires cover an area nearly twice the size of Wales
2 January 2020, 14:27 | Updated: 6 January 2020, 13:43
The Australian bushfires have reached international attention this week. This Twitter thread explains why the disaster is quite so serious.
Historian Bodie Ashton has called for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to resign for his response to the fires.
Writing in a fascinating Twitter thread, he explained why you need to pay attention to the fires.
He wrote: "More Aussie land is currently burning than exists in the entire country of Belgium. The smoke is causing breathing problems in New Zealand, 2,000km away. Half a billion animals have been killed. Eight people are dead.
"The devastation in Australia right now far exceeds the Amazon fires or the California fires by MANY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE and there is no expectation that it will recede for at least several more months. In parts of Sydney, breathing the air is equivalent to a pack of cigarettes.
"One-seventh of the state of Victoria is on fire. The fire front in the state of New South Wales is so long that, if you made it a straight line, it would stretch from Sydney to Afghanistan. The fires are being fought by volunteers."
I want to give some perspective for people not from Australia.— Bodie Ashton (@manwithoutatan) January 1, 2020
More Aussie land is currently burning than exists in the entire country of Belgium. The smoke is causing breathing problems in New Zealand, 2,000km away. Half a billion animals have been killed. Eight people are dead.
Mr Ashton revealed his frustration that these volunteers are not only doing it unpaid, but are largely unemployed people who have lost their benefits because of their work.
He said: "Many of the volunteer firefighters are unemployed; their benefits have been suspended because, while they’re saving people and habitats and homes, they can’t apply for the requisite number of jobs per week the government expects them to to continue receiving benefits.
"Having originally said that volunteer firefighters 'want to be there' and none will be paid, the federal government has now approved that firefighters who have taken days off work will now be paid $300/day for a maximum 20 days.
when this emergency ends (optimistically) it will have lasted for some five to six months; 20 days of pay for that time is ludicrous. But also note that it ONLY APPLIES FOR FIREFIGHTERS WHO HAVE TAKEN LEAVE FROM WORK.
"Unemployed people who are volunteering not only do not get paid, but ALSO have their unemployment payments suspended."
The historian saved most of his anger for the Australian Prime Minister "The Australian government refuses to discuss the fact that the NSW fires have now been burning for three months, and will still be burning in three months. Climate change is a “political issue” that shouldn’t be discussed at this time, apparently.
"If you were wondering why I keep yelling that Scott Morrison is a coward who must resign, this is why. He didn’t start this, no. But he is the prime minister who, in this moment of Armageddon, continues to insist that climate change is not worth talking about.
"And it is HIS people who, learning that two people had been killed, quipped that it was okay because they 'probably voted Green'. This man is a gormless quisling who fiddles (at resorts in Hawaii) while Australia burns, and he comes back to sing the praises of coal."

Hail, Britain’s Indiana Jones of the Amazon
In 1925 the British explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett plunged into the Amazon forest in search of a lost civilisation he had named the City of Z. He was never seen again.
Fawcett’s disappearance remains an enduring and intriguing mystery. A former spy and veteran of the Somme, he became convinced, based on a combination of serious research, intensive fieldwork, wishful thinking and clairvoyance, that the Amazon had once been the cradle of a mighty civilisation. He was widely dismissed as a crackpot.
Fawcett had a tremendous moustache on his stiff upper-lip, and a self-belief that was almost idolatrous. He was fearless and tough as teak, reciting Romantic poetry as he waded through the fly-infested Mato Grosso. He was slightly mad. But, astonishingly, he was

— Chyna says she has recovered after collapsing on three consecutive days at an adult convention in Miami, Florida last month.
“I want to thank all my fans for their concern @ my health,” she wrote on Twitter. “I am almost recovered from sinus infection and out of bed ready for travel again.”
She was appearing at the 2012 Exxxotica Expo on behalf of Vivid Entertainment to promote their adult film parody of “Avengers.” A Vivid representative told TMZ.com that Chyna continued to appear at the events because she insisted she was fine.
As noted earlier, the former WWE Women’s Champion and star of Vivid Entertainment adult hit movie “Backdoor to Chyna,” stopped by Rick’s Cabaret gentlemen’s club in New York City over the weekend and jumped in the DJ booth to spin some of her favorite songs.
“She’s good,” said Rick’s Cabaret’s Director of Audio/Visual, DJ Jonathon Page. “I showed her a few things and she took to it very well,” he said.
“You’ve got to keep the energy level high–there are 100 Rick’s Girls that are taking off their clothes to the music. It needs to be on point, and Chyna does have a good feel for the vibe,” Page said.
Celebrities often show their appreciation for Page’s expertise and he will welcomes them into the booth.
“Chyna is very talented, she knows her music, and with a little work, she could become a top DJ,” Page said.

Researchers studying bagged salad leaves report that the juices released from damaged salad leaves can grow and spread Salmonella bacteria.
Salmonella can cause food poisoning in consumers and may be particularly harmful to the very young, old, and those with compromised immune systems.
This study was led by researchers at the University of Leicester in England and published in the Journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology. PubMed Health notes that this research doesn’t state that salad bags are contaminated with salmonella but that when salmonella is present, the damaged leaves and their leaking juices grow the bacteria to dangerous levels, even when refrigerated.
In the study abstract, the researchers wrote that “Salad juices in water increased Salmonella growth by 110% over the un-supplemented control, and in host-like serum based media by more than 2400-fold over controls.” and that “Over 5 days refrigeration (a typical storage time for bagged salad leaves) even traces of juice within the salad bag fluids increased Salmonella growth in water by up to 280-fold over control cultures, as well as enhancing salad bag colonisation, which could be an unappreciated factor in pathogen fresh produce retention.”
The researchers explain that juices released from the cut-ends of salad leaves allow Salmonella to grow in water, even when refrigerated and that salad juice exposure allows the Salmonella cells to attach to the salad leaves in such a way that washing doesn’t remove them.
Healthday spoke to one of the study’s authors, Primrose Freeman, an associate professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Leicester in England who said:
“We wanted to investigate what happens to salmonella in a bag of salad to better understand the potential risks to consumers and inform future research on reducing attachment of this pathogen to salad leaves,” Freestone said in a journal news release.” ‘and that “This study is part of our ongoing research into ways to reduce the risk of salmonella persisting and growing when it is present in bagged salad,”
She also explained that “Most salad leaf crops are first exposed to salmonella in the field, from sources such as insects, bird droppings and manure,”
Salmonella poisoning is not uncommon. The CDC states that each year, salmonella poisoning is responsible for a million food borne illnesses, 19,000 hospitalizations, and 380 deaths.
Most of those infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps in the 12-72 hours after infection. Most deal with these symptoms over the course of 4 to 7 days and recover without treatment but in some with severe diarrhea, hospitalization is required.
Safety Tips to Avoid Salmonella
The foods most likely to carry salmonella are raw eggs, raw milk, contaminated water, and raw or undercooked meats. Make sure to seek grass-fed and free range animal sources when possible which decrease the chances for salmonella contamination due to less crowded and unhealthy animal conditions. Also, be sure to cook food properly, especially for those who are more vulnerable. If you drink raw milk, be sure the persons involved in bringing you raw milk practice strict sanitary practices.
To prevent the spread of salmonella PubMed Health recommends that “You should wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water, then dry them carefully, after using the toilet and before eating or preparing food.” and that “You should also wash fruit and vegetables before eating them – although washing did not remove salmonella in this study – and pay attention to use-by dates.”

The Food and Drug Administration has told companies that make "metal on metal" artificial hips to take a closer look at how patients fare after their hip replacement surgery. The request involves about 20 manufacturers.
The request comes in response to an increasing number of consumer complaints about the implants, along with last year's voluntary recall of an all-metal model made by DePuy Orthopaedics, a division of Johnson & Johnson. Company officials say the company is paying for "reasonable and customary costs of monitoring" the recalled product, including the cost of surgery, if needed, to replace damaged artificial hips.
There are many varieties of hip implants, and numerous materials are used in their construction, including ceramics, plastics and metals. In the case of all metal implants, both the ball and socket of the artificial joint are made of metal. When those two parts rub together during normal wear and tear, minuscule particles of metal can shed and be released into surrounding tissue and even into the bloodstream. This can cause severe damage to local tissue, including necrosis, infection and allergic reactions.
FDA officials say there have also been rare reports of enough metal released into the bloodstream to cause problems with a patient's heart and neurological system.
Dr. William Maisel, chief scientist at the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health, which regulates hip implants, says there is no consensus in the scientific community about how much metal in the bloodstream is harmful.
He hopes the follow-up studies by hip-device manufacturers will help answer that question, along with a number of other queries. Specifically, the agency has asked companies to answer the following: How long do the hips last? What types of problems are patients having with the hips?
The FDA is also asking companies to collect blood samples from patients with all-metal hip implants in order to better understand exactly how much metal may be released into the bloodstream.
Dr. Joshua Jacobs, chairman of Rush University Medical Center's orthopedic surgery department and an official with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, says it's important to remember that artificial hips are the single biggest advance of the century in the treatment of debilitating arthritis.
Prior to hip replacement, Jacobs says, patients had limited options and were often "condemned to a life of pain, immobility and lack of function." They couldn't work, he says, and couldn't participate in society.
"The majority of patients who have these implants do not need to have them removed," he says. "They just need to make sure they have periodic follow-up with their physician."
And, Jacobs adds, they should be "mindful" of any changes like pain, numbness or swelling. If these occur, Jacobs suggests that patients visit their doctor, who will likely do an exam and take X-rays or ultrasounds of the hip and some blood samples.
Today, Jacobs says, researchers are working to develop sturdier implants that won't be vulnerable to wear and tear and will last longer than 15 years, possibly as long as 20 or 30 years.

Exploiting our collective fear of the dark, David F. Sandberg’s debut feature Lights Out introduces a creepy new villain who goes by the name Diana, and if you had any trouble sleeping after the film, it’s damn sure because of her. Bathed in darkness throughout much of the movie, with only her piercing eyes illuminated, Diana is a horror villain who quite literally exists only in the dark, appearing when the lights are turned off and vanishing back into thin air when they’re turned on.
With her wild hair and impossibly long fingers, Diana cuts a silhouette that is, in and of itself, scarier than most movie monsters could ever wish to be, but it’s the unnerving performance of the actress tasked with bringing her to life that may have ensured the character goes on to become a franchise-starting horror icon. And setting her apart from recent female villains like the titular Mama, the Insidious franchise’s “Bride in Black,” and the four-armed Myrtu from this year’s The Other Side of the Door, Diana was actually played, in a refreshing twist, by a female performer.
That’s a new one, eh?!
“I didn’t have to really act as much because the girl dressed up as Diana was petrifying to look at,” Lights Out star Teresa Palmer recently told Variety, praising Alicia Vela-Bailey’s performance. “She had a whole black suit on, crazy hair — so strange and surreal, but I loved having her there. I certainly have that silhouette of her imprinted in my mind. She’s a classic horror film woman, it’s very scary.”
“I think people at Comic-Con will be dressed up as Diana next year,” added co-star Maria Bello, in the same interview. “Just the way she moved her hands and shoulders I think created an entire beast. I think her creature will transcend time and will be like a Freddy Krueger or a Jason.”
Born in California but raised in Hawaii, Alicia Vela-Bailey was already an accomplished gymnast and dancer at a very young age, and her career in film began with her working as Kristanna Loken’s stunt double in 2005’s BloodRayne. Soon thereafter, she doubled for Milla Jovovich in Ultraviolet, and in the past 10 years alone, she has done stunt work for 50 different television and film projects. The horror films on Vela-Bailey’s resume include The Ruins, The Fourth Kind, Piranha 3D, and Underworld: Awakening, and she has doubled for top Hollywood actresses including Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway, and Shalene Woodley.
Most recently, Vela-Bailey was Gal Gadot’s stunt double on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and she again dons the red, blue and gold for next year’s hotly-anticipated Wonder Woman film. Yes, the same woman who played Diana in Lights Out is essentially playing Wonder Woman, which we can’t help but smile about. Next year, Vela-Bailey will once again play Kate Beckinsale’s double in Underworld: Blood Wars, and in the film she will also appear on screen as a “Safehouse Lycan.”
As an actress, Alicia Vela-Bailey notably appeared in Avatar, as several Navi characters, and in both Hostel: Part 3 and The Purge, playing “Japanese Cyberpunk Woman” in the former and the masked “Female Freak” in the latter. She will have a starring role in next year’s Annabelle 2 as “Evil Mrs. Mullins,” the film re-teaming her with Lights Out director David F. Sandberg.
High profile stunt-woman? Check. Horror icon? She’s damn sure on her way.
Check out some photos of Alicia Vela-Bailey, on and off set, below!

Retired general: All Americans should appreciate preparation, sacrifice of troops in Middle East
Posted January 7, 2020 5:55 p.m. EST
Updated January 7, 2020 7:49 p.m. EST
Fayetteville, N.C. — Tense relations between Iran and the United States are nothing new to four-star Gen. Dan McNeill.
He retired after 40 years, having commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and Fort Bragg's XVIII Airborne Corps. He has taken his troops into combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and he recognizes the current threat that faces those deployed in the region and those who will soon join them.
According to a report on Tuesday by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, Iran has worked up 13 sets of plans to avenge the death of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The report quoted Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, as saying that even the weakest among them would be a “historic nightmare” for the U.S.
“If the U.S. troops do not leave our region voluntarily and upright, we will do something to carry their bodies horizontally out," Shamkhani said.
On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said there are no plans for American troops to leave Iraq, despite a vote in that country's parliament to expel them.
Iran's parliament, meanwhile, has passed an urgent bill declaring the U.S. military's command at the Pentagon and those acting on its behalf in Soleimani's killing as “terrorists," subject to Iranian sanctions.
McNeill said that, while the potential for another war in the Middle East is on the back burner for most Americans, in Fayetteville, on Fort Bragg and in the surrounding communities, it is center stage and hits very close to home.
McNeill is known for his compassion for the troops he commanded and their families. He says all Americans should be supportive of our troops as they are once again sent into harm's way.
"For those families who are left behind because their loved one is deployed, this community stands by them and will support them," he said.
He had nothing but praise for the soldiers who had to deploy quickly after the holidays to respond to the latest threat.
"The soldiers that we have that are forward ... are well-led, well-trained, well-equipped and dedicated to doing their assigned tasks," he said.
McNeill led the international force in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks on America. During that time, he said, Soleimani was never in the crosshairs of any of his troops. But he says his removal from power is good for America.
"From my knowledge of this individual, it's not a sad time for me," he said.
But that doesn't lessen the threat to soldiers who are deployed to the area or to U.S. allies.
"I understand that there are people who are very angry and who have vowed to take some sort of vengeance against the United States of America or its security," he said. "It comes with the turf."
He hesitated to predict what will happen next, but he said he believes things will calm down. As in the past, America will always be on guard for the potential of terrorist attacks, he said.

Joe Sakic and Peter Forsberg never stop attacking. Even when they're killing penalties.
Sakic broke a tie midway through the third period with his fourth shorthanded goal in five games as the Colorado Avalanche beat the winless San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Thursday night.
"Peter and I were kidding around that we get more chances shorthanded than at even strength," Sakic said. "We read off each other pretty well and when we get the puck, we just go."
Sakic, who tied it at 2 with 3:02 remaining in the second period, beat Mike Vernon with a low wrist shot at 7:03 of the third period. Forsberg set up the goal after stealing the puck from San Jose's Jeff Friesen.
"You knew as the game went on Sakic and Forsberg would have an impact," San Jose coach Darryl Sutter said. "The strength of those those two guys' playing talent is their ability to steal pucks and score goals. Friesen turned it over and they made him pay. Simple as that."
Colorado coach Bob Hartley agreed.
"They are two of the best players in the NHL at handling the puck," Hartley said. "Players know that if they mess up, Sakic or Forsberg are going to be right up in their face and make them pay."
Friesen didn't make any excuses.

The Sharks played most of the game without Bernie Nicholls, who left at 4:14 of the first period because of a deep cut over his right eye.

Yea, i usually only run at low speed nowadays, and crank it up to full when i want to run at 4.4ghz. I't such a pain to reach round the back to put up the speed tho, i rarely run at my maximum overclock. I'm saving up for a decent looking fan controller, but they are expensive and hard to find here. I'll eventually make the move to WC and a fan controller would be necessary then anyway. My max temps are only around 50-55C at load when running at 4ghz and the lowest fan speed, but i'd love to be able to run at a full overclock and not have to worry about dust.

If it seems like Carmelo Anthony headlines have dominated sports websites this weekend, that’s because they have. Melo’s been all over the place, and everyone wants to know if the 33-year-old forward is going to stick around New York.
Initial reports indicated Melo was totally unwilling to waive his no-trade clause, but Phil Jackson’s ghostwriter and close friend—who wrote a critical piece about Anthony—says those reports aren’t entirely accurate and Anthony would accept a trade to either the Cavaliers or Clippers.
Anyone with knowledge of those two teams’ rosters and payrolls knows the odds of such a deal are slim to none.
So, what is it with Melo now? Well, apparently all the frustration surrounding the Knicks of late—they’re 18-22, you know, and were supposed to be a “super team,” as Derrick Rose put it—got to Anthony last week.
New York blew a 10-point lead late against the 76ers Wednesday and fell 98-97. They had a chance to seal it in the final seconds, but Brandon Jennings elected to pass to an open Kristaps Porzingis instead of an open Anthony. Porzingis missed, and the 76ers hit the game-winner seconds later.
After the game, Anthony reportedly lost his cool, according to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News—one of the most plugged-in NBA writers out there.
As Isola reports, “according to a source close to the Knicks’ veteran forward, Anthony went on a tirade after the shocking loss, admonishing his teammates for blowing a 10-point lead in the final 2:30 to the inexperienced 76ers." Isola continued:
He was also upset that he was frozen out on the Knicks final possession, a sequence that ended with Kristaps Porzingis shooting an air ball from the corner which led to Philadelphia’s fast-break. Anthony never touched the ball.
Anthony told reporters after the game that the loss was “unacceptable.”
Is he fed up? Definitely. He’s watching his championship window close in depressing fashion. His team is underachieving while his good buddies like LeBron James and Chris Paul are playing for strong contenders.
With that being said, he’s probably not going anywhere. The pieces just don’t seem to fit together. So we may be seeing more headlines in the future about Melo’s frustration boiling over.


Homeowners and 'have-a-go-heroes' finally get right to defend themselves
Jack Straw: New guidelines for homeowners
Homeowners and 'have-a go-heroes' will be handed more legal protection to defend themselves against burglars and muggers without the fear of prosecution, the Government claimed last night.
Under new laws that came into effect yesterday, police and prosecutors must give greater weight to whether people were acting 'in the heat of the moment' to defend themselves or their property.
Minsiters said new guidelines by Jack Straw would give the public more confidence they would not end up in court if they hurt an offender while using 'reasonable' force to protect themselves.
But the Justice Secretary's announcement was immediately condemned as a 'hollow gesture' that effectively restated existing laws - word-for-word.
Opposition leaders said it offered nothing new and was merely the Government's latest attempt to woo core Tory voters in Middle England.
They pointed out that even the right, in certain circumstances, to shoot dead a burglar already exists in current law.
Nick Herbert, the Shadow Justice Secretary, said: 'This is a typical Labour con – it will give no greater protection to householders confronted by burglars because it’s nothing more than a re-statement of the existing case law.'
He said key points were simply copied word-for-word from case law on self-defence and reasonable force. Mr Straw first came under fire for ransacking existing laws when he announced greater protection for 'have-a-go heroes' at Labour's annual party conference last September.
Mr Straw issued guidance effectively reminding police and prosecutors to take greater account of the circumstances in which they acted in self-defence before sending a case to court.
He said people would be protected legally if they defend themselves 'instinctively', they feared for their own safety or that of others, and the level of force used is not excessive or disproportionate.
He added the changes in law were designed to ensure the criminal justice system was weighted in favour of the victim.
It meant, he said, that homeowners would be able stab or shoot a burglar if confronted or tackle them and use force to detain them until police arrive.
But they would not be allowed to attack a fleeing criminal with a weapon - as in the case of Norfolk farmer tony Martin - nor lie in wait to ambush them.
Mr Straw said: 'The justice system must not only work on the side of people who do the right thing as good citizens, but also be seen to work on their side.
'The Government strongly supports the right of law abiding people to defend themselves, their families and their property with reasonable force. This law will help to make sure that that right is upheld and that the criminal justice system is firmly weighted in favour of the victim.
'Dealing with crime is not just the responsibility of the police, courts and prisons; it’s the responsibility of all of us.
'Communities with the lowest crime and the greatest safety are the ones with the most active citizens with a greater sense of shared values, inspired by a sense of belonging and duty to others, who are empowered by the state and are also supported by it – in other words, making a reality of justice.
'These changes in the law will make clear – victims of crime, and those who intervene to prevent crime, should be treated with respect by the justice system. We do not want to encourage vigilantism, but there can be no justice in a system which makes the victim the criminal.'
He issued the guidelines, which were placed on the Statute Book in may as amendments to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act, as crime becomes a huge topic with voters.
Self-defence has been a highly-charged political issue for years, particularly after Tony Martin was jailed for shooting dead an intruder at his remote Norfolk home in 1999 following burglaries.
Public anger has been fired by a string of cases where law-abiding citizens have confronted thugs and hooligans only to find themselves arrested and charged with assault.
Ministers have repeatedly promised to review or toughen the law, but each time have opted not to take any action.
The Tories said Mr Straw - who claims he has himself helped tackle criminals on several occasions - neglected the issue during his four years as Home Secretary.

A federal judge ruled today that the New York Police Department’s trademark tactic of indiscriminately stopping and frisking men of color violates the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. “The NYPD’s practice of making stops that lack individualized reasonable suspicion has been so pervasive and persistent as to become not only a part of the NYPD’s standard operating procedure, but a fact of daily life in some New York City neighborhoods,” wrote U.S. District Court judge Shira Scheindlin in an opinion that does not ban the practice but calls for a federal monitor to oversee it. The class-action suit Floyd v. City of New York lasted ten weeks and “readily established that the NYPD implements its policies regarding stop and frisk in a manner that intentionally discriminates based on race,” according to Scheindlin.
“The City adopted a policy of indirect racial profiling by targeting racially defined groups for stops based on local crime suspect data,” Scheindlin wrote in a nearly 200-page ruling. “This has resulted in the disproportionate and discriminatory stopping of blacks and Hispanics in violation of the Equal Protection Clause.” She continued, “In their zeal to defend a policy that they believe to be effective, they have willfully ignored overwhelming proof that the policy of targeting ‘the right people’ is racially discriminatory and therefore violates the United States Constitution.”
However, “I am not ordering an end to stop and frisk,” Scheindlin added. Peter Zimroth, an attorney at Arnold & Porter, LLP, and a former Manhattan prosecutor, will be charged with making stop-and-frisks more in line with America’s written rules. Every six months, for the foreseeable future, he will issue a report until “the City has achieved compliance.”

The European Parliament has adopted by an amazing majority its place on the negotiations on the long run relationship with the United Kingdom. The decision was collectively drafted by all pro-European political teams and accommodates clear positions on all elements of the long run relationship. The European Parliament makes clearer and sharper statements on truthful competitors (“level playing field”) than the EU Commission within the space of economic markets and monetary crime.
MEP Sven Giegold, monetary and financial coverage spokesperson of the Greens/EFA group mentioned: “The time for particular remedy of the UK is over. The British authorities’s try to offer its London monetary centre everlasting and complete entry to the European monetary system for many years is audacious. The EU is not going to let the choice as to which British monetary market rules are suitable with European rules be taken out of its fingers. Equivalence just isn’t a everlasting subscription, however a revocable privilege. What already applies to all nations exterior the one market may also apply to Britain. If the United Kingdom deviates from the European rules, it should anticipate to lose entry to the European monetary market.
“With today’s decision, Parliament is also putting its finger in the wound of British tax havens. Even today, the British overseas territories are already deliberately undercutting European rules. The European Parliament has made it clear that those who continue to operate tax havens cannot have access to the EU financial market at the same time. We will neither accept tax havens in the Caribbean nor on the Thames.”

When it comes to laptops most people are looking to upgrade every couple of years, depending on their needs, but Prime Computer's first notebook could change all that.
The Swiss hardware manufacturer has brought its sustainable notebook to the market and claims that it could last you for decades.
The Circular line of products, which includes the PrimeBook Circular, will see components designed so that they can be exchanged, upgraded, or replaced.
This in effect can extend the lifetime of your laptop, making it more sustainable throughout the product's lifecycle and reducing CO2 emissions demonstrably.
A key feature of the PrimeBook Circular is the easily replaceable computer modules that contain CPU, GPU, Wi-Fi and RAM. In addition, the storage capacity can be configured up to 1 TB.
"Shifting from the destructive take, make, waste model of the past is crucial if we are to achieve sustainability and innovation goals. The truly sustainable mobile computing era has just begun," says CEO Sacha Ghiglione.
The Green notebook comes in an anodised aluminium case and features a glass trackpad, fingerprint reader and HD IR camera.
The PrimeBook Circular is available with various processors from Celeron 6305 to Core i7-1185G7 and is compatible with future versions of the computer modules. Built with a 77 Wh battery, the business notebook weighs 1.5 kg.
For the screen, users will enjoy the 3,000 x 2,000 px touchscreen display with narrow edges and a maximum brightness of 400 nits. Prime Computer offers a 3-year bring-in warranty on the PrimeBook Circular, which can be optionally extended up to 5 years.
Devices can be configured at the time of purchase and later when the device’s use case and performance requirements have changed.
The modular components of the Circular products are backwards compatible, meaning they are interchangeable and upgradeable within the Prime Computer Circular product line to future generations without changing the rest of the hardware.
