". . . The Trump administration disclosed on Friday that there were 20 emails between a top aide to President Donald Trump's acting chief of staff and a colleague at the White House's Office of Management and Budget discussing the freeze of a congressionally mandated military aid package for Ukraine. . . But in response to a court order that it swiftly process those pages in response to a Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA, lawsuit filed by The New York Times, the Office of Management and Budget delivered a terse letter saying it would not turn over any of the 40 pages of emails — not even with redactions. . .

I am in the process of reviewing your contract.

Can you kindly explain the following clause:

Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX.COM.

and how I can accomplish this?

Hello Ray, 

As long as BMI didn't give you the go by email you won't be able to access XXXXXXX. 

The first step is to write to BMI and wait for their answer, like we explained in our last email. 

Cheers,

The Music Team

at XXXXXXX.com

Thank you very much.  I did understand that item from your previous email. 

I am currently reviewing your contract and requested an explanation of the clause,

"Joining the XXXXXXX LICENSING service requires: (1) the prior publication by the

Artist of at least one (1) Work on XXXXXXX .COM"

This reminds me of the dilemma, 'I can't be hired without experience while I have no experience

because no one will hire me'

Can you kindly clarify how I get (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com, if I 

cannot register with XXXXXXX  without (1) prior publication of at least one (1) work on XXXXXXX .com?

Thanks in advance.

The Music . . .

. . . goes round and round . . .

. . . whoa-oah. . . and it comes out HERE . . .


(from http://usuncut.com/politics/dnc-email-leak-exposes-bias/)
". . . On Friday, the whistleblowing website leaked approximately 20,000 emails that were allegedly sent by top Democratic National Committee staffers like chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz (who referred to a top Bernie Sanders aide as a “damn liar“) national press secretary Mark Paustenbach, and communications director Luis Miranda. This data dump is “Part One” of a series from WikiLeaks they are calling the “Hillary Leaks,” and Guccifer 2.0 has taken credit for the hack behind this first set of emails from the DNC. . . The emails show an unprecedented level of collusion between top party officials and political reporters at establishment newspapers, as well as DNC staffers obviously favoring Hillary Clinton while devising ways to attack Bernie Sanders. . . In one email with the subject line “Bernie narrative,” Paustenbach ponders a way to attack the Sanders campaign as “never having their act together” with Miranda, suggesting they plant a narrative in the media that the Vermont senator’s presidential campaign “was a mess.” . . . Despite Wasserman Schultz repeatedly denied allegations that she was favoring Hillary Clinton in the primary, but WikiLeaks’ emails expose her treating the Sanders campaign as an adversary. . ."

Bears . . .

. . . further investigation, don't you think?


(from http://gawker.com/did-clintons-backdoor-adviser-illegally-lobby-for-putin-1693111549
Hillary Clinton says there is nothing to hide in her scandalous personal email account, now apparently half-deleted. But leaked emails from her longtime confidant Sidney Blumenthal show that he and another former official from Bill Clinton's administration were secretly lobbying the secretary of state on behalf of a billionaire in the former Soviet state of Georgia who was seeking closer ties with Putin's Russia—seemingly in violation of a federal law designed to prevent foreign powers from covertly wielding influence within the United States.

More of the Same . . .

. . . stuff . . .


Now the pitifully, most-likely Democratic Presidential candidate has, as she and her former-President 'mate' seem always to have had, more scandal with which to contend.  Foreign money and secret emails are the latest of more-of-the-same for this 'principled' 'family' of public 'servants.' She tried to defuse the latest controversy with a late-night tweet short after the email problem surfaced that, like all Clinton responses to confrontation, fell far short of effective.

It's difficult to find a vocal Republican with whom I am likely to agree, but Republican Party spokesman Michael Short, who said “Hillary Clinton must think we’re all suckers. The fact Hillary Clinton set up a ‘homebrewed’ email system in her house to skirt federal record-keeping regulations is a pretty good indicator of just how transparent she’s interested in being,” may just be one.

It Never Ends. . .

(from http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/permalink/2014/08/14/adrev-illegally-preying-diy-musicians)
". . . I got two emails from “Katherine Foster” within 10 minutes of each other to two separate email accounts – one which I haven’t used in years. They both read: Subject: Missing Info
Body: I have not yet received the info to setup your account at http://cid.adrev.net.  If you own and control original music, our service can help generate new revenue for you.
At AdRev, we help musicians, labels, and composers make earnings from their recordings in YouTube.  We simply find videos using your music, show ads, and pass the revenue down to you.
With artists signing up every day, we’d love to help you tap into this new revenue stream.
Drop a line if you have questions,
Kat
Katherine Foster
Artist Recruiter

Pretty sneaky. You haven’t received the info because I didn’t send it. Or opt into this list. Or ask for information. And feel quite violated. This, AdRev, to say the least feels very slimy. As someone who is very used to these unsolicited emails targeting DIY musicians, I’m fed up. I don’t like it from “promoters” offering me to pay to play, I don’t like it from “A&R” trying to get me to buy their overpriced services, and I don’t like it from you. With the number of partners AdRev boasts (Universal, Warner, BMG, Source Audio) and the number of videos they monetize (27.5 million) you’d think they would have the budget to target these musicians through ads. Spamming musicians via email not only diminishes their reputation, but showcases their lack of respect for the working DIY musician community.  They are directly looking to prey on musicians’ ignorance. . ."

Convenience . . .

Received an email that says:

"Don't run out: Refill or renew these prescriptions.

Prescription     Status

 

Rx#:  XXXX6612    Ready for refill

Refill now

Log in now to refill or renew your prescriptions. If your prescription needs to be renewed, we can contact your healthcare professional to authorize the renewal. . ."

So I go to the website to take advantage of this wonderful convenience. I see the recent order status and recent prescriptions.  The name of the family member to whose whose medical plan I have been added is listed with a prescription history.  But I don't see mine. Then at the bottom I see, "Looking for a family member?" under which my name does appear. Next to my name it says, "RAYMOND must register with this website individually and grant you access to prescription information via "My Account."" 'Wonderful,' I say to myself.  I click on 'My Account.' The drop-down menu shows,

    Manage Personal Information
    Change User Name and Email
    Update Address
    Edit Payment Information
    Select Communication Preferences
    Designate a Caregiver
    Read My Messages

My Account

Manage your personal and account information.

I finally find "Create an online account."  I fill out ALL the blanks and push 'enter.'  I receive a message that says:
"User name is already in use

Our records indicate this user name is already registered with our site. Please enter another user name below.
