West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and chose to bat first on the opening day of the first Test of a three-match series against Sri Lanka at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad on Wednesday.
Playing their first Test cricket for six months, the hosts have recalled 36-year-old opening batsman Devon Smith who last represented the regional side against England in his native Grenada in 2015.
Smith comes in at the expense of attacking middle-order batsman Shimron Hetmyer while Kieran Powell, the regular opening partner alongside Kraigg Brathwaite throughout the 2017 season, is expected to be shifted to number three in the batting order to accommodate Smith's return.
Seeking their first-ever Test series triumph in the Caribbean at the fourth attempt, SriLanka have opted to go with a bowling attack showing a balance of spin and pace. Rangana Herath, the most successful left-arm spinner in Test history, will again be expected to do the bulk of the work, especially in the latter stages of the match.
He will have Dilruwan Perera as slow bowling support while skipper Dinesh Chandimal will be looking to the experience of Suranga Lakmal with the new ball to make early inroads into the West Indies batting line-up. Lakmal will have fellow seamers Lahiru Gamage and Lahiru Kumara in support.
West Indies: Jason Holder (capt), Kraigg Brathwaite, Devon Smith, Kieran Powell, Shai Hope, Roston Chase, Shane Dowrich (wicketkeeper), Kemar Roach, Devendra Bishoo, Miguel Cummins, Shannon Gabriel
Sri Lanka: Dinesh Chandimal (capt), Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Roshen Silva, Angelo Mathews, Niroshan Dickwella (wicketkeeper), Dilruwan Perera, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Lahiru Gamage, Lahiru Kumara.
Umpires: Aleem Dar (PAK), Richard Kettleborough (ENG)
Match Referee: Javagal Srinath (IND)

Pipaluk Lake + Hilda Ekeroth
Pipaluk Lake, Hilda Ekeroth
Stereo Exchange presents Pipaluk Lake + Hilda Ekeroth as the opening show of the 2019 program. Ekeroth & Lake's work is disparate, but the assembly is stabilized as a viewing oculus into the physical action of art making.
Ekeroth's intrepidly personal works, at once make your stomach unsettled, but on further absorption, one is immersed in the intimacy of self and, the shyness of personal space, we as the fruit of the giant mushroom can understand the underpinned murmur. The action of painting is apparent, not by the rush of strokes, but by what's left out, the paint pressed up against transparent paper to create self-portraits and, when observed through Lake's glass work, creates a sort of Mandela effect, did it happen, is that the person it used to be, was it a flourish or was it meant to be?
Lake's protracted hanging glass works beam fragility over the space, an eye or a refraction machine, of reality, a burning Ferris wheel of emotions and heavy metals, folded and dropped out, into a stark reminder, of the brittleness, of the accuracy of memories.
This menagerie of space, time and action, conglomerate into a ball of exuberant flame of spirit, locked inside untarnished ideas, ignorant to what it should be, google doesn't help you here, nope it's not here, we don't do haircuts or the hemming of your jeans, we procure dreams and fantasy.
Owen Armour. Feb 28th 2019.
Stereo Exchange is located in Frederiksberg (Copenhagen) and was founded in 2018, by Danish ceramist Kristine Tillge Lund and Australian artist Owen Armour.
Stereo Exchange an international artist-run initiative faithful to blurring the preconceived notions between artist and discipline. The idea was formed organically through many years of dialogue on & curiosity, which led us to launch a space in Frederiksberg, we show works from visual artists and craftspeople from across the continents. We aim to emphasize the melding of disciplines and give visitors a unique opportunity to see the dialogue between materials, practices, and space.

Audix DP7 7 Drum Microphone Package Features - All-in-one solution for miking drums
- Instrument-specific mics for optimal results
- Rugged Audix quality
- Great for stage and studio
- Dflex clips for easy positioning
- Road case
Included in the DP7 drum mic package is the Audix's flagship D6 kick drum mic, two D2 mics for rack toms, one D4 for floor tom, the i5 for snare, and a pair of ADX51s for overhead miking. Also included are four D-Vice rim mount clips for the snare and tom mics, and three heavy duty tension fit mic clips for the other three mics. Everything is conveniently packaged in a foam-lined aluminum carrying case road case for safe keeping when the mics are not in use.
D6 - Kick Drum The D6 has a frequency response of 30 Hz - 15 kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.
i5 - Snare The i5 has the ability to capture the rich, deep resonance of the snare along with the attack necessary to cut through the mix. The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50 Hz - 16 kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB, the i5 can be also used for a wide variety of instrument applications including percussion, guitar cabs, and vocals.
Two D2s - Rack Toms For bringing out the real, dynamic sound of toms or congas, the D2 cannot be beat. The D2 accurately reproduces the warmth and overtones of the instrument without sounded harsh or boomy. The very natural, articulate D2 requires very little (if any) EQ, and because of its tight hypercardioid polar pattern, no gating is needed.
D4 - Floor Tom The D4, which provides an additional octave of low end response beyond the D2, is the perfect companion for large toms and other instruments characterized with extended bass frequencies. In fact, the D4 responds down to below 40 Hz, a remarkable feat for a microphone of the this size and performance. versatility. The D4 is characterized with a flat linear response from 40 Hz - 18 kHz, making it the most versatile of all the D-series microphones.
Two ADX51s - Overheads The ADX51 is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed to handle nuances of recording as well as the rigors of live sound. Characterized with extended highs, excellent imaging, and high SPL capabilities, the ADX51 can be used for cymbals, high-hat, and acoustic instruments. The ADX51 also features a -10 dB pad and bass roll-off filter, making it extremely useful for a wide variety of applications.
Audix DP7 7 Drum Microphone Package - What's In The Box - 1 D6 for kick drum
- 1 i5 for snare
- 2 D2s for toms
- 1 D4 for floor tom
- 2 ADX51s for overheads

The long-term functioning and stabilization of the brokerage company's main activity directly depends on which scheme it operates: whether it closes all operations directly on the internal server or takes some of the risk transactions directly to the market. The further position of the company depends on it. Today, the main criterion in choosing a broker for a trader is the possibility of withdrawing both his investment funds and received profitability. Spreads, slippage, and other commissions or restrictions on the part of the broker remain in the second place.
For a brokerage company to be able to easily generate profit, this yield should be formed precisely in the market. And here the broker can decide to independently close the trader's transactions or give him the opportunity to independently trade on the market with the help of special software.
We present fix api splitter – http://4fxbrokers.com/fix-api-splitter to your attention. This software just does the function of supplying the trader's trading operations directly to the clearing center, bypassing the servers of the brokerage company. Our ten-year experience in software development for both traders and brokerage companies has allowed to create an innovative product among all fix api technologies at the most affordable price.
What is fix api splitter
Fix api splitter – This is software solution for a brokerage company that allows you to accumulate several trading accounts with the fix api technology into one. These accounts have the ability to trade directly on a price glass of the clearing center, instead of the brokerage one. In some brokerage companies, the client can request access to fix api, in order to perform operations on the platforms of those liquidity providers that the broker provides. However, not every company had such functionality, and those who gave the opportunity to trade through the financial protocol, requested a large deposit to increase the commission, because the use of this software is not a cheap pleasure. As a rule, a broker must pay a clearing fee for each fix api and if the brokerage fee is minimal, then the profitability from it will not be great.
How it works
The fix api splitter's functionality is pretty simple. If the client makes a request to provide him the fix api technology, then you can create an account for him in our program, providing a login and password for logging in to the software, as well as a unique client ID that will show the fact of connection to the fix api. Also, in fix api splitter, you keep the ability to manage groups of clients, and switch new accounts between MT4 and fix api. With the help of the MT4 control box, you have an opportunity to view the results on the account and switch the orders execution. Moreover, there is a possibility of setting parameters such as spread, slip and other commissions.
Key advantage of the fix api splitter
The main advantage and feature of the fix api splitter is the fact that this program allows you to create an account inside the fix api. Thus, the broker does not have to pay clearing for each connected account. You, as a broker, connect only one account, which will be a fix api splitter program, and already inside this software, you or the clients will have a separate account. To put it simply, fix api splitter allows you to create an account on your system and connect it to the clearing center (to the market quotes). Thus, when the number of clients selling through the fix api will increase, your payment will be fixed and will not exceed a certain fixed fee. If you are just starting your business and you need to reduce the fixed costs, the fix api splitter is the ideal software solution.
In addition to this functionality, fix api splitter also has the following advantages:
- It helps to save the consumable part of your business, because with the fix api splitter, you will pay only for one account;
- It allows you to track all the clients that are connected to the FIX protocol;
- It is possible to set the required level of commissions in the form of swaps, spreads and slips;
- Integration with MT4 accounts and bridge technology for more flexible and comprehensive management of the client trading transactions.
Who can take advantage of this product?
Undoubtedly, this product is designed for both novice brokers and already existing companies to optimize the expenditure side and expand the product line. Fix api splitter has the best price in the market for access to the FIX protocol and besides brokers, it also perfectly suits the modern traders. So, if your customers want to trade on the account in the prime broker, you can give them such an opportunity. Fix api splitter is great for algorithmic trading, as well as for high-frequency trading robots (HFT). The speed of order execution and real market conditions make it possible to earn at minimum price changes.
To sum it up, it's safe to say that the fix api splitter is a modern technological solution for a brokerage company at the lowest price. Its versatility in use, as well as the ability to connect multiple clients to a single account and integrate them with a clearing center, will allow you to save the capital that is vital for the broker in the initial stage. If you integrate this software as a separate product from your company, it will also allow you to avoid brokerage risks. Thus, all customers with large volumes or speculative/arbitrage trading robots will get directly to the market. Your net earnings will depend on the intensity of their trade exclusively from the commission. Such diversification of the client base will contribute to a stable increase in the company's profitability.

Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo has urged Jack Wilshere to leave Arsenal if he wants to win back his place in the England squad
Jack Wilshere has been handed just 25 minutes of Premier League action for the Gunners so far this season and has started only three top-flight games for Arsene Wenger's side since November 2014 having spent last season out on loan at Bournemouth.
The 25-year-old was once again left out of Gareth Southgate's squad for the recent friendlies with Germany and Brazil despite a string of withdrawals, and Ighalo believes that there will be plenty of teams interested in signing the midfielder.
"For him to get more games and to be ready for the World Cup, he has to play more so if he's still there and he's not getting the opportunities to play, I'd advise him to leave," Ighalo told Sky Sports News.
"He's a very good player, he can't be there sitting on the bench. If he cannot play at Arsenal, he can play at any other big team in the Premier League."

Meet our 2017-18 Heart of Pet Blood Bank Award Winners
The Bramble Craddock Award Winner: Breeze
The Bramble Craddock Award was launched in honour of one of our highest donating dogs who sadly passed away. Bramble was a very special dog, who like many of our donors, will forever be at the heart of Pet Blood Bank. This year the Bramble Craddock Award goes to another very special dog, Breeze. Breeze started donating after her sister Hope needed six units of blood. She donated 16 times before retiring, and her sister May is now following in her footsteps as a blood donor. Not only was Breeze a lifesaver for Pet Blood Bank, she's also been a huge support to her family during tough times, helped her owner to train rescue dogs by building their confidence, and taken part in multiple fundraising walks to raise money for various charities. She really is an all round heroine and a very deserving winner of this award.
Fundraising Award Winner: Colin Stewart
Colin was the owner of a beautiful greyhound called Millie who had an autoimmune condition that meant she needed regular blood transfusions to keep her healthy. These transfusions allowed Millie to live a normal life and it was only ever a few days before a scheduled transfusion that she would begin to slow down. As Pet Blood Bank supplied the blood for Millie, Colin wanted to do something to help make a difference and set himself the challenge of going alcohol free for the month of January. A hard enough challenge as this can be, sadly Millie passed away mid-January, but Colin stuck to the challenge and managed to raise a fantastic £460.
In addition to his fundraising, Colin is a true ambassador for Pet Blood Bank, telling everyone he knows about the charity as well as attending events and encouraging those with big dogs to register. Colin has since rehomed another greyhound, Misty, who now donates with Pet Blood Bank as well.
Volunteer Award Winner: Victoria Lamb
Victoria is a regular volunteer at the Edinburgh University donation session and really goes out of her way to ensure it is a great experience for both owners and donors. She is welcoming and friendly and always makes a real fuss of all the dogs. Victoria is a fantastic ambassador for the charity from helping to raise awareness to recruiting new donors and making sure the sessions run smoothly. Victoria has been instrumental in helping to recruit, train and retain new volunteers as well as helping two girls achieve their Duke of Edinburgh Award. Through her employer, Victoria has also been able to present a donation of £250 to the charity in addition to her time as a volunteer.
Host Venue Award Winner: Milton Keynes Veterinary Group
Without the help of our host venues, we wouldn't be where we are today, and Milton Keynes Vet Group has been a fantastic support to us. Since coming on board as a host venue nearly three years ago, the practice has worked tirelessly to promote Pet Blood Bank. They have made the most of media opportunities, hosted puppy parties, and raised awareness of the charity during routine client appointments, all of which has helped make every session held at the practice successful. The team at the practice are an absolute pleasure to work with and our team always look forward to the session. They really go above and beyond to make the sessions a great experience for our donors.

Here are the powerpoint notes for Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s August 18, 2009 town hall meeting (click to enlarge).
Further information provided by the representative's office includes a link to the White House "reality check" page that addresses arguments against the bill and a link to the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee also has on its pages a more detailed description (that is more interesting, for me at least) of the three versions of the bill that were passed out of the three committees (Energy and Commerce, Education and Labor, Ways and Means) that now have to be reconciled, as well as other more technical information about revenue provisions and summary documents.

By Kathleen McGrory
Amid a growing controversy over the alleged sale of fetal tissue, Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday called for an investigation of Florida's 16 Planned Parenthood offices that perform abortions.
The investigation comes two weeks after the release of an undercover video in which a Planned Parenthood official in California discusses the use of fetal organs for medical research. The anti-abortion group that took the video says it is proof Planned Parenthood sells human tissue.
Planned Parenthood has said the footage was heavily edited, and that it does not profit from tissue donation.
Still, Scott called the video "deeply troubling." He said he has asked Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Elizabeth Dudek "to evaluate the 16 Planned Parenthood offices in Florida that perform abortion procedures to ensure they are in full compliance with the law."
"It is against the law for any organization to sell body parts," he said. "If a Planned Parenthood office is not following the law, we will move quickly to take legal and regulatory action against them."
Laura Goodhue, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, called the governor's action "politically motivated."
"We will, of course, cooperate fully with any investigation, but important medical issues shouldn't be politicized," she said in a statement. "This isn't what people in our state want our elected officials to spend their time doing."
Goodhue pointed out that none of Florida's Planned Parenthood offices has a tissue donation program. The offices in other states that allow donations "follow all laws and ethical guidelines," she added.
Scott isn't the only Republican governor calling for an investigation of Planned Parenthood. The governors of Louisiana, Texas, Indiana, Georgia and Kansas already have opened inquiries in their states.
A congressional investigation is under way, too.
The controversy isn't likely to end soon. The group that took the footage, the Center for Medical Progress, has released two additional videos on the subject that have attracted national attention.
The topic has also resonated on the campaign trail. Republican candidates Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush have questioned the need for Planned Parenthood to receive federal funding. Even Democratic front-runner and longtime Planned Parenthood supporter Hillary Clinton called the original video "disturbing."
Some Senate Republicans have proposed cutting off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. A vote could take place as early as next week.

Have you found a solution to my problem ?

I am seeing the same symptoms as freddela when I try to upgrade from version 2.0.17 to 2.0.20 (in a development environment). I have briefly tried 2.0.18 and 2.0.19 and could not reproduce the problem there, so I amy upgrade to 2.0.19 instead for now. I do have "define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);" set in my wp-config.php file, but removing that doesn't fix the problem.November 10, 2015 at 1:29 am #10004267cwjordanParticipant
In fact, if I change line 945 of pie-register.php in version 2.0.20 from:
`wp_set_auth_cookie( $user->ID, $creds['remember'], $piereg_secure_cookie );
wp_set_auth_cookie( $user->ID, $creds['remember'] );
then I can log in and go to the admin page okay, without the redirect problem. So does appear to be something with SSL.

Samsung has started rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo update to its Galaxy C7 Pro budget smartphone which was launched last year in India. The update also contains the November 2018 Security Patch.
Gadgets 360 reported citing the news from Sammobile, that the update comes with the build number C701FDDU1CRK1 and will be released to users in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal within the next few days.
The Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro was launched in April 2017 with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box and in its last update, it received the April 2018 security patch. Currently, there is no changelog available but it'll surely bring system improvements and bug fixes.
As mentioned earlier, the Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro is a budget smartphone and comes with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display offering a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels. The smartphone is equipped with an octa-core Snapdragon 626 SoC.
There is 4GB of RAM clubbed with 64GB of internal storage which is further expandable via microSD card up to 256GB. In terms of optics, the smartphone bears a single 16-megapixel rear camera and a 16-megapixel front camera.
A 3300mAh battery fuels the handset and we get a 3.5mm headphone jack and there is a USB-C Type port for connectivity.
The update is rolling out over-the-air (OTA) in a phased manner so it'll take some time to land on your device and once it reaches your device you'll get a notification. You can manually check for the update by going to Settings –> System –> System Update —> Tap on the Check for Update option.

Shunned by most of his friends and family, Bill Cosby is reportedely in constant fear of someone slipping something into his food or drink to kill him.
During pre-trial hearings and jury selection in Pittsburgh, ahead of the June 5 start of his sexual assault trial in Philadelphia, the 79-year-old comedian refused to stay in local hotels because of perceived threats. Instead he woke up at 2:30 every morning to fly his private jet to the courthouse from his suburban Philly home.
"He and his wife are afraid that if he stayed at a hotel, someone will find a way to poison him, put something in his food," a source who works closely with the Cosby camp said.
"He's blind … so that makes him even more vulnerable to [being] poisoned or to having someone sneak into his room," said a second source close to the family."
Cosby — who's been accused of sexual assault by some 60 women, many of whom claimed he slipped them mickeys — even refused to drink from the courthouse fountains. Instead he toted water bottles, along with meals, from his home 300 miles away.
He's just as wary of spyware.
"He's thinking and his team is thinking, if he's put in a hotel room, someone will find out which room he's staying in and they'll put a bug or a device in the room," the source said.
As to who would eavesdrop, the comedian believes "plenty of people … would have a motive," the family source said.
Cosby's wife said she "really worries about him and she calls throughout the day to check on him," the source added.
While he leans on his family's loyalty, Cosby feels abandoned by his friends in Hollywood, the civil rights community and the media, sources said.
He feels other famous black performers like Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock, and Sinbard have not rallied around him in support.
"He can't even pay people to come and support him," the source continued. "He's been told that agents have informed their clients that their careers would be over if they got involved.
"We're not asking anyone to testify. We are asking those whom he's helped, maybe they can call or come sit in the courtroom and see for themselves what's happening … before turning your back."
Messages left for the comedians or their reps were not returned.
Cosby has also been stung by civil rights leaders he long funded turning away, sources said.
"Jesse Jackson claims to have forgotten Bill's number and Al Sharpton won't even return his phone calls," the source inside the camp said.
"Both of them were vocal in their support of Michael Jackson and the charges against Mike involved kids," the source added. "So, is this really that toxic when you compare the two? Any other time they'd at least rally to say something about innocent until otherwise proven."
While Jesse Jackson didn't specifically address these claims, he did express to The Post last week his concern over jury selection, which ended Wednesday. Only four of the 18 jurors selected, out of a pool of 200, are black. Cosby's lawyers argued "there has been a systemic exclusion of African-Americans."
Cosby and his representatives have repeatedly attempted to meet with NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt but the network has blocked it, the Cosby camp source said.
"I know there were meetings scheduled between Cosby's team and Lester Holt. Every time we scheduled, Holt kept canceling and this kept happening," the family source said. "Finally, we were told NBC had forbidden Lester Holt to meet with or have dinner with Bill Cosby."
Messages seeking comment from NBC News and MSNBC president Phil Griffin were not returned.
Cosby is charged with drugging and assaulting former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand, then 31, in his home in 2004. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. He denies the charges.
The star has been accused by up to 60 women of drugging and sexually assaulting them.
He is now an outcast, even among high-profile crisis management teams.
"Everyone says any affiliation is too toxic," the family source said of two crisis firms that jumped ship despite seven-figure agreements. "Money exchanged hands, then the excuses came."
The only celebrity name to appear on Cosby's approximately 20-person witness list is Diahann Carroll, the 81-year-old Bronx actress and Golden Globes winner who appeared on "The New Bill Cosby Show" in the 1970s. Her reps did not return messages.
Should Cosby be found Not Guilty, which is the prediction of the team here at USA Herald, we also predict that the same black leaders that are shunning Cosby will rally around him after in support. Cosby hired the top rated criminal defense attorney in Pennsylvania, Brian McMonagle, whom has a reputation for taking on the hardest cases and winning against all odds.
Some say that up to 40% of all sexual assault claims are false. And in this case, considering the facts, it is likely that once again the media is villifying an innocent man. A jury will decide this case based on the facts, and until the trial, we won't know the defense's position. Nevertheless, given the defense attorney that is involved and the facts that we are aware of, the USA Herald predicts a Not Guilty verdict.

Slaves To Debt: Fashion Models Speak Up Against Their Oppressors
Fashion models who had become slaves to debt and were being robbed off their remuneration have finally decided to speak out against this harassment
When you see them walking the runway in the finest of clothes, it become difficult to believe that they may be slaves of debt. But as it turns out, fashion models are being robbed off the one commodity they work for -- remuneration.
They are reportedly only paid 'pocket-money' and most of them are in crazy amounts of debt, so much so that they are afraid the reveal the actual numbers.
"The worst thing is that it is impossible to talk about because in this industry people only want to work with 'successful' girls," a 26-year-old Clara reportedly told AFP. The London-based model who spoke to the press agency on condition of anonymity shared that she she owed money to her agencies in New York and Paris.
Models Are Often Given Bags And Clothes As Opposed To Cash

This, even after working for magazines like Vogue and walking the ramp for prestigious brands like Prada, Comme des Garcons, and Rick Owens.
But she is the only one who is a slave to debts. There are many like her in the industry who are finding it hard to make ends meet.
Many told AFP that often times they are paid not in cash but in kind. Some revealed that they are often given bags and clothes as opposed to cash, and reportedly "almost never paid" for fashion shoots for magazines.
Many also shared that they felt helpless and that debt was an even bigger taboo than sexual harassment.
It was perhaps this conversation that started a model's revolution in Paris this year.
Models Take The Fight In Their Own Hands And Fight For Proper Wage
View this post on Instagram
Earlier this year, a model rights group called Model Law was founded to battle such issues and to bring about equality and fairness in the modelling community. As co-founder Ekaterina Ozhiganova (a model herself) says that now is the time "to put an end to the years of abuse, dubious practices and the flouting of labour laws."
Ozhiganova co-founded the group after she had had enough of this mistreatment herself. She said that she started out, her agency charged her for the car they provided as well the shared hotel she lived in.
This, on top of their fee and work visas.
Most Models Begin Their Career WithHuge Debts Looking Over Their Heads
But she soon realised she was not the only one and that many models began their career with a huge debt looming over their heads. She says the girls who come from poor backgrounds and cannot speak proper English get the rawest deals.
But this organisation, Ozhiganova, 26, hope that she encourage other harassed girls to speak up. And she knows its a difficult task. Because most models who do speak up are "quickly labelled as difficult if you ask questions."
"People imagine models earn lots of money, but that is absolutely not true. It's only the case for about two per cent of girls" she told AFP.
"Only Rarely Are People Paid For Modelling For Shoots"
View this post on Instagram
She also added that getting paid for magazine shoots was reserved only for a handful of people.
"Only rarely are people paid for modelling for magazines even though it takes hours of work," Ozhiganova shared.
"Okay, it's prestigious, but how are you going to pay your rent?" she added.
Even US Models Are Slaves To Debt
But with her effort and help from French union, Ozhiganova hopes that things will change as far as employment regulations are concerned. And looks like their efforts have started showing effect. French fashion giants LVMH and Kering have joined forces. They are creating a charter that would help in better employment of models.
A similar movement has also started in the US after the lid on 'cattle casting' was blown off by New York casting agent, James Scully.
With the Western fashion industry taking note of this issue (as well not casting underage models), this might trickle down to Asia as well. For now, we can only hope that equitable and fair employment opportunities become major points of discussion. And that female models would no longer be slaves to debt but are paid fairly for their work.

Lightanddark. Light and Dark exposure changes cancer risks Subject: Constant illumination increases risk for certain cancers in mice Our long term readers know that I have a specific interest in the effect of light and darkness on cancer development.
Although most people are quick to blame a toxic environment for causing cancer, few consider light as a pollutant. Yet light is a pollutant which is having long term toxic effects on our health. A new study has come out adding another piece to this story. Exposure to light at night reduces production of melatonin, a hormone that calibrates the body's biological clock and its secretion of estrogen. Scientists in St. The mice exposed to constant light also had more regular menstrual cycles and ate less. This isn't the first study on light and dark cycles affecting cancer development in mice. In another study of varying light and dark exposure, pregnant rats were injected with a carcinogen.

The ancients imagined mythical creatures that combined human and animal elements, including mermaids, minotaurs, satyrs and centaurs.
They also mixed up different animals to form new combinations, like the gryphon (eagle/lion) and the chimera or chimæra (lion/dragon/goat). Different species can sometimes mate and produce hybrid offspring, but there is also a stranger type of creature which, like the mermaid, is half one thing and half another. Human chimera Archives. During grad school, I was amazed to hear that the color of hair on your body is controlled by only one gene.
Hence, each person should only have one color of hair everywhere on their body. I wanted to ask: why does my mother have two colors of hair on her body (or as the slang goes, the carpeting does not match the drapes)? DNA Double Take. But scientists are discovering that — to a surprising degree — we contain genetic multitudes.
Not long ago, researchers had thought it was rare for the cells in a single healthy person to differ genetically in a significant way. But scientists are finding that it's quite common for an individual to have multiple genomes. Some people, for example, have groups of cells with mutations that are not found in the rest of the body. GcMAF for the treatment of cancer, autism, inflammation, viral and bacterial disease. By David Noakes David Noakes Human GcMAF, otherwise known as Vitamin D binding protein macrophage activating factor, holds great promise in the treatment of various illnesses including cancer, autism, chronic fatigue and possibly Parkinson's.
Since 1990, 59 research papers have been published on GcMAF, 20 of these pertaining to the treatment of cancer. 46 of these papers can be accessed through the GcMAF web site. GcMAF is a vital part of our immune system which does not work without it; and is part of our blood. GcMAF stimulates the macrophage element of the immune system to destroy cancer cells. How GcMAF Works. Your body's own internal medicine In a healthy person your GcMAF has 11 actions discovered so far, including two on cells, three excellent effects on the brain, and 6 on cancer.
Amongst these it acts as a "director" of your immune system. But viruses and malignant cells like cancer send out an enzyme called Nagalase that prevents production of your GcMAF: that stops its 11 beneficial effects, and neutralises your immune system. So diseases become chronic, and cancer cells grow unchecked. You're Getting Dumber as You Age: Here's How to Slow the Decline. A healthy brain processes information as a wave (via electrical impulses) and as a particle (via the brain chemicals) at a fast pace along the neuronal highway.
Think of "the wave" that goes around a sports stadium during a football game. Every person in the stadium represents a single cell in the brain that passes along a ball of information to the next cell. As each person jumps to their feet and lifts their hands above their head, they pass a particle of information along. If the timing is off, the wave in the stadium simply stops. In your brain, if the cells cannot pick up all the particles of information, they get dropped and brain speed slows, the information delivery becomes unbalanced and out of sync, and your cognition begins to fade.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — The Arkansas Senate has approved a measure imposing a new requirement on doctors who perform abortions, the latest in a series of restrictions on the procedure that are moving quickly through the Legislature.
The Senate on Thursday voted 29-5 in favor of the proposal, which would require that doctors who perform abortions be board-certified or board-eligible in obstetrics and gynecology. The measure now heads to the House.
Supporters of the bill say the measure is needed to protect the health of women undergoing abortions, but opponents have called the requirement unnecessary.
The proposal advanced a day after lawmakers sent the governor legislation banning most abortions 18 weeks into a woman's pregnancy. Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson plans to sign the measure into law.

Soumis par reema.masoud@ef... le
On the 10th of December 2018, the Board of the EuroMed Feminist Initiative (EFI) met in Beirut to discuss future plans and analyse the current context and the status of women, women's rights and gender equality in the Euromed region and at International level.
The meeting of the Board emphasised the successful year for EFI in terms of political presence and influence in the Euromed region through a wide overview of the current and future projects that contributed of EFI's vision and mission from the work on engendering constitutions, political participation, support to human rights and women's rights organizations committed to gender equality in Syria and the continuation of the implementation process of 1325 in Iraq, the follow up and publication of the outcomes of national roundtables on the UfM ministerial recommendations, the engagement of EU Madad multi-country project to engendering the governmental response to the Syria crisis in Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq to the launching, beginning of 2019 , of a campaign on violence against women – 3 years regional project supported by EU .
In order to address this new phase, the board agreed to open three new offices in Amman, Erbil and Beirut which will be managed by three country managers.
The Board agreed that EFI's strategy should be revised based on an analysis of the current context with the support of an international expert
Since the Backlash has become a global trend the solution has to be global as well, thus the board agreed that there is a necessity to create broader alliances. Also, there is a need to discuss and reconceptualize terminology, ways on improvement for the functioning and visibility of the network and organizational development
During the meeting, the board discussed the communication issues and noticed that the work of EFI members at the field level is not visible enough. Therefore, they decided to better promote EFI members and their activities on EFI's website and social media channels.
In addition, the Chairs of the Standing committees presented their proposal of concrete activities for the following months.
Finally, some decisions were taken to improve the functioning of the network, the board agreed that the chair of the board will more closely communicate and follows up with the committees. They also agreed that EFI members will develop one activity per year at a national level. This will be reflected on the members plans and strategies and on different topics. In addition, they agreed to organise a dialogue between south and north on migrant and refugee issue during one of the EFI meetings.

Service needs more friendly, personal and caring drivers
Mudgee Community Transport is seeking volunteer drivers to help provide this essential service for locals that are frail aged, disabled and their carers or those who are disadvantaged due to limited public transport.
The non-profit organisation is currently in need of more drivers, particularly those who are interested in doing local runs around the Mudgee and Gulgong areas.
The service covers the Mid-Western Regional Council area and central west regional centres such as Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst and Lithgow. As well as Sydney.
Volunteers drive Council fleet vehicles and are not out-of-pocket with meal allowances are provided and fuel is paid from funding recieved through Transport for NSW and other bodies.
Volunteer of four years, Keith McLean, joined the service after he retired and had a little too much time on his hands.
He said that not only is it something that kept him from "sitting around doing nothing", he's found it to be very fulfilling.
"It's great, I enjoy it, you meet all sorts of different people who are interesting to talk to and really appreciate it," he said.
"And it's pretty straight-forward if you get anyone new, they go out for a couple of days with one of the drivers and they fill them in."
It's very valuable from a personal point-of-view... without that service I would be in a fair bit of trouble.Doug Green, client.
The drivers can choose to drive a variety of hours depending on their availability; some one day a week; others choose three-four days a week, and others are just on stand-by for the occasional trip.
With the distance they're willing to travel also up to the individual volunteer.
"Some can only do one day a week, others won't go past Lithgow, and others do local – which is Dubbo, Bathurst, Orange and around here – and there's about a half-dozen of us that will do whatever is going," Mr McLean added.
Without the volunteers of Mudgee Community Transport it would be difficult for their clients to maintain their independence and relationships with families living outside of the local region.
Furthermore, many clients wouldn't be able to get to essential medical appointments.
One such local is Doug Green, who regularly needs to travel to Sydney for the kind of treatment that he certainly wouldn't be able to bring himself back from.
"It's very valuable from a personal point-of-view, I've got quite bad eye trouble and I need to have treatment in Chatswood every five/six weeks and needless to say after that you can't drive for a number of hours," he said.
"So without that service I would be in a fair bit of trouble.
"And I've got nothing but praise for the volunteers.
"They're fantastic, they're very obliging and couldn't be more helpful, and they take you down and back in a day."
Without the community transportation service it's expected that a number of locals would be at risk of premature institutionalisation.
Making the friendly, personal and caring transport provided by the volunteers a significant asset to the local region.
Mudgee Community Transport is part of the Mid-Western Regional Council's Community Services Department auspiced by Council.
In an average year Community Transport makes approximately 3,500 return trips taking almost 2,000 clients to medical appointments, shopping trips, social, recreational and other outings.
In 2016 one of Mudgee Community Transport's longest serving volunteers, Pat Burns, was named the Mid-Western Region's Citizen of the Year for dedication.
- Expressions of interest can be lodged with Mudgee Community Transport, at the Carmel Croan Community Services Centre on the corner of Market and Douro streets, Mudgee, or by calling (02) 6378 2710.

Crime and Incarceration Rates - Speech, House of Representatives
Twelve-year-old Indigenous boy Dujuan Hoosan has just appealed to members of the United Nations Human Rights Council to reduce Australian incarceration, pointing out that Indigenous-led education and an emphasis on languages are key to keeping Indigenous young people out of jail.
Australia is entering a second convict age, with the highest share of the population incarcerated than at any time since 1899. Since 1985, the incarceration rate has gone up 130 per cent. Now 0.22 per cent of Australian adults are behind bars. Among Indigenous Australians, the incarceration rate is 2.5 per cent. Almost one in four Indigenous men born in the 1970s will go to jail during their lifetime. A higher share of Indigenous Australians are now incarcerated than African Americans.Read more
Launch of Parliamentary Friends of Social Science - Speech, Parliament House
As a professor-turned-politician, today's event is exactly the kind of thing that I hoped I might be able to participate in when I made the jump from the ANU to the Parliament. I was at the time somewhat chuffed to be a fellow of one of the academies, until I realised that when he sat in parliament, Barry Jones was a fellow of all four national academies.
It does put things in perspective.
But today, and Social Science Week more broadly, I think of as making politics more porous by ensuring that we're a country that draws more deeply upon the resources of the social sciences. Whether it's psychology or political science, anthropology and sociology... even economics!Read more
Time for Territorians to get proper democracy - Speech, House of Representatives
Last month, Kerry Robertson became the first Victorian to use the state's Voluntary Assisted Dying Act.
After nine years of cancer slowly spreading through her body, she died peacefully, surrounded by family who described her death as empowered. Dignified. Perfect.
It was the death that Kerry chose, something she had the right to do under Victorian law.
The same cannot be said here in the ACT.Read more
The Government has no plan for right now - Transcript, Sky News First Edition
Subjects: Cashless welfare card, mandatory drug testing for social security recipients, drug testing for politicians, the economy struggling under the government, the Morrison Government's lack of plan for productivity.
LAURA JAYES: Let's go live now to Canberra. Joining me is Labor MP Andrew Leigh. Thanks so much for your time. Let's start on the cashless welfare card. Evidence has showed that it is working in some of these communities. Do you dispute that?
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND CHARITIES: Laura, all the evidence that I've read suggests that this card won't create a single additional job, and there's concerns that it has adverse impacts on financial management and Aboriginal peoples' sense of autonomy. When it's rolled out on a compulsory basis, which is where Labor has our chief concerns, this seems to have more adverse impacts than positive benefits.Read more
Australia needs to step up on climate change - Transcript, 3AW Mornings
Subjects: Climate strikes, the Morrison Government's inaction on climate change; the economy floundering under a floundering government.
NEIL MITCHELL: On the line is the Labor Member for Fenner, he's a former assistant shadow treasurer. Some say the smartest man in the Parliament. He's a professor of economics at the ANU - Dr Andrew Leigh, morning.
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND CHARITIES: Good morning, Neil. How are you?
MITCHELL: I'm okay. So do you think - you're the teacher in a sense, is it a smart thing for kids to go on strike?
LEIGH: Well, as you say Neil, I've spent painfully long in education. I barely missed a day of school and then went touniversity for another ten years. But not all learning happens in formal institutions, and I think getting together to campaign for an issue bigger than yourself is pretty important. We often talk about Generation Z as being self-centred, yet they're anything but. It's an altruistic movement which is focused on dealing with the central challenge that the planet faces right now. And that's why it's gotten support from thousands of scientists, from firms like Atlassian and from many of those who've been carefully watching the climate debate, watching the planet warm and seeing Australia's emissions just going up and up under the Morrison Government.Read more
Treasurer playing blame game instead of taking action - Transcript, 2GB Money News
Subject: National Accounts; The economy floundering under a floundering Government; Labor's positive policies to take back control of the economy.
JOHN STANLEY: We've got problems with wage, we've got problems with inflation, we've got problems with jobs. So is it good enough for the government to just say 'well look, we should wait to see the tax cuts flow through, we should wait till the September quarter' or should there be action being taken right now? Andrew Leigh is the Shadow Assistant Minister for Treasury from the Labor Party. He joins us now. Good evening to you.
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY: G'day, John. Great to be with you.
STANLEY: I'm assuming your answer is going to be that they need to be doing more.
LEIGH: I think that'd be the answer of every serious economist, John. I mean, we've had this per capita recession. So on a per person basis, the economy had been shrinking, not growing, and that's gone on for the longest period since the early 1980s recession.
STANLEY: Can you just explain that per capita recession for us?
LEIGH: The figure you talked about before is the total size of the pie. But if you look at the slice that each person has, that's been shrinking rather than growing. The economy is growing because we're adding more people, not because individuals are getting better off.Read more
Incarceration becoming almost normal life event - Transcript, 2SER The Daily
Subject: New research on Australia's incarceration rates.
HOST: Now with much talk about Closing the Gap, into the well-being of our First Australians, a new report into Indigenous incarceration suggests as a nation that the number of Australians incarcerated has radically increased over the last three decades. Now on the line we have the Shadow Assistant Minister for Treasury, Dr Andrew Leigh, whose report discusses the drivers behind the sharp increase in Indigenous people being placed behind bars and what can be done to rectify this issue. Welcome to the show.
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY: Thanks, Stephen. Great to be with you.
HOST: Now this report you've authored suggests that currently 2.5 per cent of Indigenous Australians are incarcerated, which is a higher share than among other disadvantaged comparable ethnic groups like African-Americans. Now if crime rates are substantially dropping among developing nations, what accounts for this rapid increase in the amount of First Australians being imprisoned?
LEIGH: It is worth just pausing on that figure, isn't it? Two and half per cent means that if you count up 40 Indigenous Australians adults, one of them will be behind bars today. It's even worse over in Western Australia, where the indigenous incarceration rate is over 4 per cent, meaning that one out of every 25 Indigenous Australian adults are incarcerated now. Over a lifetime, that means that more than a quarter of Indigenous men end up spending time behind bars. Incarceration is becoming an almost normal life event. Among the factors driving it are that police are more likely to press charges, and courts are more likely to convict. The sentences tend to be longer, and while awaiting trial people are more likely to be behind bars rather than out on bail.Read more
Indigenous Australians perhaps most incarcerated people on earth - Transcript, ABC News Radio
Subject: New research on Australia's incarceration rates.
SARAH HALL: More Australians than ever before are in prison, with Indigenous Australians now more likely to be in prison than African Americans. That's according to a new report out by federal Labor MP and economist, Andrew Leigh. The Member for Fenner has found that since 1985, the Australian incarceration rate increased by 130 per cent, while the share of Indigenous adults in prison has more than doubled. For more on these findings, I'm joined by Dr Leigh in Canberra. Dr Leigh, thanks for joining us.
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY: Pleasure, Sarah. Great to be talking with you.
HALL: Can you please break down these figures for us. What stood out to you the most?
LEIGH: Well, not since 1899 has Australia had such a large share of population in jail. The incarceration rate has been rising significantly since the 1980s, despite the fact that crime has been falling. You're half as likely to be murdered now as you were in the 1980s, and the rates of robbery, car theft and assault have gone down markedly. But as a result of changes in policing practices and sentencing practices, a higher share of Australians are behind bars. 0.2 per cent of all adults are incarcerated, and 2½ per cent of Indigenous adults are incarcerated.Read more
We need to be smart on crime - Transcript, Triple J Hack
Subject: New research on Australia's incarceration rates.
AVANI DIAS: You probably know that when Australia was first colonised, the UK transported thousands of convicts here to serve out sentences for their crimes. Well it turns out Australia's back to where it was in that time. In fact, a new report has found we're entering a second convict age and that's despite a drop in crime rates. Perhaps the worst part of this report is that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians are now more likely to be imprisoned than African-Americans. Federal Labor's Andrew Leigh wrote this research. He's also an economist and he's with us now. Andrew, Australia's incarceration rate is at the highest level in 120 years. Why is that?
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY: Avani, it's more likely now that police will press charges, that judges will impose a custodial sentence. Compared with the mid-1980s, that custodial sentence will be longer, and that while you are awaiting trial, you likely won't be out on bail, you will be behind bars. So we've had a whole lot of tweaks to the law, which have together caused our incarceration rate to go through the roof. What's striking about this is it's come at a time in which crime rates have fallen. The murder rate's now half what it was in the 1980s. Car theft is down. Robbery rates are down. But incarceration rates are substantially up.Read more
More people locked up than ever before - Transcript, ABC Afternoon Briefing
Subject: New research on Australia's incarceration rates.
PATRICIA KARVELAS: I think we've got Andrew Leigh now, welcome.
ANDREW LEIGH, SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR TREASURY: Thanks, great to be with you.
KARVELAS: You just completed a research paper which identifies what you are calling disturbingly a second convict age. Take me through what you found and why you used that language? Because that's quite alarming.
LEIGH: It is, Patricia, and so are the figures. Incarceration rates in Australia haven't been this high since 1899, in the tail end of the transportation era. We now have 0.2 per cent of adults in jail, but for Indigenous Australians, it is 2.5 per cent of adults behind bars. That's up from 1 per cent when the Aboriginal deaths in custody report came out in 1991. And as you said in your introduction, it means Indigenous Australians are now perhaps the most incarcerated people on earth with an incarceration rate that exceeds that for African-Americans. If you look at the exposure over a lifetime since - an Indigenous man born in the 1970s has one in four chances of spending time behind bars. Research out of Western Australia suggests that as many as nine out of 10 Indigenous men born in the 1970s have been arrested, summonsed or charged in their lifetime. So increasingly, incarceration is becoming a normal life event for Indigenous Australians and that is having massively damaging impacts on our attempts to close the gap.Read more
