According to Cho Chikun, in his Igo Master Class (達人囲碁指南) series, vol. 4, Master of Shinogi, he says that shinogi does not just mean making life under pressure, it means parrying an attack. For example, when the opponent makes a play that carries a dual threat, finding a defense for both threats is shinogi.
Really good explanation by Cho Chikun! I got asked by a reader, to make an article about shinogi. It seemed really an easy task at glance, but finding an example was tough. I checked many games and even the example that I brought below is probably not the best and if soon I find a better one, I will try to make another article !
Takemiya Masaki 9p taking black against Cho Chikun 9p, game played on Jun 16 1981. Black attached with 1 to attack indirectly the center group, white pulls back at 2 and black manages to extend in order to split white's center group from any possible connection to the bottom side. White's marked group in the center is now under attack and has to survive.
White plays kosumi at 1 looking forward to push at A or to make a good shape by playing 4, so therefore black wedges with 2 and white connects at 5 to protect against the cut. Black's connection at 4 makes the connection between B and C more secure. Black assures his connection with his last move which threatens to play D and damage white's stones at the top.
White extends at 2 to protect the top. Then black attacks powerfully with 3 and white tries to finish his shinogi by attaching at 4, to either kill black's marked stones by playing at A or to break through and make eyes. Therefore, to defend after 6, black plays the last marked move.
White gets a chance to cut and black extends. If black tries to capture white's stone, then white will possibly split black's top group.
White captures one stone, black defends the right side by playing 2 and then to protect the territory marked with A he plays the last move, which also threatens to kill white.
White threatens to push with 1, so black defends his right side, white is pretty much alive at this point.
White captures with A, black forces at B and now you can see clearly that white has two eyes at 1-2. White successfully settled his group by parrying black's attack, focusing on black's weak points. We can say that white succeed and that this is an example of shinogi. Cho Chikun is really good at this and the reader can find many examples of shinogi in his games.
If I find a better example, I will make another article for sure. This example shows that, although black was so much stronger in the center, white managed to use black's weaknesses and at some point it was not sure who is attacking who, well played by Cho Chikun!

The new cordon regulating travel off campus.
With one month left of school, Waxahachie High School administration has put in place a new rule prohibiting seniors from leaving during their off period. Seniors with an off period A2, A3, B6, or B7, many of whom use their time to work or rest, are now forced to remain on campus, and they are questioning the administration's decision.
"My off-campus period should be off-campus," senior Ashlyn Florence said.
The rule was put into place recently due to attendance problems – namely, a small percentage of students not returning for their other classes. Many students are also skipping and getting mixed in with those who do have off periods.
Still, most seniors are critical.
"Why would they give me an off campus period if I can't go off campus?" senior Gunnar Jendrezy said.

Culture MEL December 1, 2017
We Watched 'I Love You, Daddy' So You Don't Have To
Talking Louis C.K.'s too-close-to-home unreleased new film
I Love You, Daddy is Louis C.K.'s homage/rip-off of Woody Allen's Manhattan. It's got the same black-and-white cinematography, the same thick-rimmed black glasses, and, most importantly, a creator who's in the same kind of hot water for his extremely questionable personal life. And given the sexual assault revolution we're currently embroiled in, it's one of the most disturbing movies you'll never see.
The now-disgraced comedian — who recently faced a cornucopia of abuse allegations — stars as Glen Topher, a hotshot TV writer whose daughter, China (Chloe Grace Moretz), is about to turn 18. While casting for his new show, Glen meets famed actress Grace Cullen (Rose Byrne), who invites him and his daughter over to her house for a party. There, China locks eyes with 68-year-old director Leslie Goodwin (John Malkovich), Glen's hero — and a rumored child molester.
Like The Day the Clown Cried, Jerry Lewis's unreleased 1972 Holocaust film about a German clown sent to a Nazi concentration camp, I Love You Daddy's subject matter is toxic given the current cultural conversation and C.K.'s own bad behavior. It's no wonder, then, that The Orchard, the film's distribution company, has opted to bury it. (At Lewis's request, The Day the Clown Cried has famously never seen the light of day.)
And while it's not as hard to score a copy of I Love You, Daddy as it is The Day the Clown Cried — Harry Shearer is basically the only person to have ever seen Lewis's epic trainwreck, likely because as he wrote in Spy magazine in 1992, "This movie is so drastically wrong, its pathos and its comedy are so wildly misplaced, that you could not, in your fantasy of what it might be like, improve on what it really is" — it's not readily accessible, either.
Before I Love You, Daddy disappears into the ether, though, three members of our staff — film critic Tim Grierson; Deputy Editor Alana Hope Levinson; and Staff Writer C. Brian Smith — were able to screen it through various means.
They recently traded notes on their reactions…
Levinson: I honestly don't know where to start. As a (former) Louis C.K. fan and person who works in media, I'd heard the rumors for years — and have always believed them. So I could never take the movie seriously as anything other than a cynical attempt to absolve himself of some guilt. When my friend mentioned he had a screener and we watched it together, I was horrified to find it was exactly that, almost eerily so.
Grierson: I saw I Love You, Daddy at its world premiere on September 9. At that point, nobody knew a thing about the movie, other than that Louis C.K. had made it in secret and that it had a pretty amazing cast. When C.K. came out before the screening, he told us nothing about the story, just that he had shot it in June and that we were the first audience anywhere to see it. Like a lot of other people there, I was a big fan of his stand-up and his shows, especially Louie and Better Things.
Smith: I've always been a fan of Louis C.K., so I found the film to be pleasantly nostalgic in some ways, which I realize is problematic. In that way, it was a bit like throwing on a pair of old, comfortable jeans that are now stained and tattered. Of course, it's stunningly brazen that of all the stories Louis C.K. could have chosen to tell, he chose this one.
Grierson: It wasn't until Malkovich's acclaimed director character comes on screen and is introduced as someone rumored to date underage girls that you could sense a collective, silent "Oh my god" from the audience. It was clear C.K. was going to go there — mostly talking about his love of Woody Allen but also, maybe, sorta discussing the rumors about himself that he'd never publicly acknowledged about masturbating in front of female comics. Even in Toronto, this shocked people. When The Orchard picked it up for distribution at the festival for a huge price, $5 million, we all thought, "There's no way they're making their money back."
Levinson: How right you were.
Smith: C.K.'s 17-year-old daughter is named China. He gave his daughter a pornstar name! She spends most of the film prancing about making rich-girl demands. Can we talk about how many times she says "Daddy?"
Levinson: And how she's in a bathing suit for no reason in a Manhattan condo. And how he checks out her ass.
Grierson: Glen is so freaked out about Leslie dating China that he doesn't actually realize that he's been a terrible father. He's so desperate to get her approval that he spoils her and lets her walk all over him. She knows this, which is why she treats him the way she does.
Levinson: Agreed Tim, but it's kinda frustrating, that trope — girl with the shitty dad fucks a guy her dad's age because she has daddy issues and wants to get back at him. China has zero agency in the movie, and I don't think that's unintentional.
Smith: At one point, Glen defends Malkovich's character, despite his alleged dubious past, saying, "You shouldn't say stuff like that about someone you just hear stories about. His private life is nobody's business." How did that line land with you guys?
Grierson: I never thought of Glen as a guy we're supposed to admire or think is in the right. So when he says that about people's personal lives, it felt like the sort of thing a person who's never had to deal with the implications of predatory behavior in his real life says — until, that is, China starts dating the director.
Smith: The parallels to C.K. IRL are stunning, no?
Levinson: Oh yeah. One parallel no one has talked about is Edie Falco's character, Glen's producer, whose job is to deal with his insane bullshit and cover up for him. The first scene she breaks down crying in his office and says, "I do everything you ask. You ask me to dangle a horse from a helicopter, and I just do it. And we never even ask, 'What happens to the horse? Do you know how traumatized it must be?'" I was like, "WOW, this guy knows exactly what he's doing."
Smith: "We donated $10,000 to PETA," C.K. responds defensively.
Levinson: That's like Weinstein when he apologized by donating his life to politics. It's uncanny.
Smith: I laughed a lot at that scene. Again, though, I found that laughter to be problematic.
Levinson: It's less funny to me because I've felt like a horse. I saw that as a metaphor for women in the entertainment industry, women he's abused. Maybe it's a stretch. But he uses Edie to cover up for his bullshit as he did Tig Notaro.
Grierson: I can't speak for C.K.'s intentions, but I think he's trying to express his (and his character's) situation, which is that he's consumed with fear about his daughter (who he's poorly raised) making a mess of her life with an artist he admires but now realizes he can't just worship from afar.
Smith: Tim, can you speak to the film technically? It's shot in black and white and on 35mm film. Eric Kohn of Indiewire wrote: "The movie is exquisitely directed, filled with stunning moments of mysterious beauty and dark twists, not to mention an old-fashion orchestral score that enhances the melodramatic dimensions of the material." Do you agree?
Grierson: C.K. has said that he's a fan of old-fashioned Hollywood studio-system films, which is why the movie has the black-and-white look and orchestral score. Of course, it also makes you think of Manhattan.
Smith: Do you think it works?
Grierson: Mostly. It does look great. And the score is decent. It's very self-consciously old-school, though, in a way that doesn't completely work.
Smith: Alana, what do you think about these storylines in general? Should this be a no-go area? I mean he tries to fuck his daughter's 17-year-old friend.
Levinson: Look, I love Manhattan. I just don't understand why we need to rehash a similar idea now. Surely there are other stories that should be told, that haven't been, like maybe that of China or her friend he tries to fuck. Have you ever seen a movie from the perspective of a young woman dealing with a predator/daddy type? (I don't want to give away my screenplay idea!)
Grierson: The Diary of a Teenage Girl comes to mind, which is great. But to your point, Alana, yes, this is a story that's been told before from the male perspective many times.
Levinson: That's why so many men are shocked by what's happening in the news. This is the first time the narrative has been flipped in such a big way. If more women were making movies, surely there'd have been one about a Weinstein character who jacks off into a potted plant. There's a lot of power in what stories are told, why they're told and who gets to tell them. Especially in 2017.
Smith: Is there any redeeming quality about I Love You, Daddy?
Levinson: I think a redeeming quality is seeing into the psychology of someone like C.K. There's potential there to learn about how people justify actions, etc. I immediately noticed he has female characters around him — like Grace, who's played by Rose Byrne — telling him his daughter's relationship is okay. That feels like a go-to move for most predators IRL. The enablers, the people who cover.
Grierson: For me, what's "redeeming" is that it's an unfiltered look from C.K. about these issues. What's interesting about the movie's backstory is that, in another world, this could have been a very triumphant story about an independent filmmaker using his clout and own money to make a small, personal story. This is the sort of thing that's just about impossible in Hollywood anymore. Unfortunately, I Love You, Daddy argues why, sometimes, you need people around you to say "no."
Levinson: Were there no other writers on this project?
Smith: None credited.
Grierson: This is all him. He edited it, too. It's very much made in the same way that Horace & Pete was made. Very guerrilla-style by himself.
Smith: Do you guys think he'll ever make another film?
Grierson: I do think he'll be able to make something later down the road. Hollywood is a very forgiving place. Mel Gibson is currently in a hit family comedy.
Levinson: Also involving daddies — insane. But yes, C.K. will make another movie. Probably about his downfall and recovery.
Smith: I'd watch the fuck out of that.
Grierson: The Rose Byrne scene is one of the most interesting in the film. Grace and Glen have a conversation where he tells her how upset he is that Leslie and China are dating, and she explains to him that maybe he should give his daughter more credit for being smart about the choices she makes in her life. I think it's meant to be a surprise to hear that rationale coming from her. And I think it's meant to suggest that Glen needs to stop coddling his daughter and thinking he knows best for her. It doesn't entirely work, but it's a very Louie-type scene: Giving us the exact opposite perspective than we think we'd hear at that moment.
Levinson: Yeah. Best scene in the movie. I wish there had been more of it. Rose was great. Tim, who was your fave character and why?
Grierson: Glen. As I mentioned in my review at the time, C.K. doesn't have great range as an actor, but he's good at playing beleaguered. (He did it all the time on Louie.) The journey that character goes on in the movie — having his preconceived notions about art-vs-artist debunked, realizing that he's kind of a hack and coming to terms with the fact he's a bad father — is laid out with a lot of messy candor. That scene with China's friend that you mentioned, Brian — it's interesting in that it shows how susceptible he is to the same creepy, awful urges that Malkovich's character practices. In a lot of C.K.'s work, the Louis character has to learn what a shortsighted fool he is. He definitely does that here.
Levinson: To me, the ending felt easy—it's so similar to Crimes & Misdemeanors. It didn't feel authentic, but maybe I'm projecting.
Grierson: It's such a C&M ending.
Levinson: Right?!
Grierson: That hasn't been talked about enough. Even down to two men wearing tuxedos side-by-side.
Levinson: Yes! the exact shot. But Crimes and Misdemeanors is all heart. There was something lacking in this movie. None of the relationships felt real to me. That's maybe why it came off as cynical to some.
Grierson: The Charlie Day stuff is awful. Edie Falco isn't given enough to do. Ditto Pamela Adlon, whose Better Things is her brilliant creation and shouldn't be sullied by C.K.
Levinson: Completely agree.
Smith: Bottom line for me? I found myself wrestling with the same question Sarah Silverman raised about Louis (and Savannah Guthrie raised about Matt Lauer): "Can you love someone who did bad things? Can you like something made by someone who did bad things?"
Levinson: Absolutely, but not when they gaslight everyone for five years and threaten to ruin the careers of their victims. And especially not a friend. It's not just the abusive incident. It's everything after.
Grierson: As a critic, this is a complicated question for me. I've spent my life under the belief that lots of terrible people have made lots of amazing art. And that I'm not reviewing the artist, but the art. But recently, I've been pondering the privilege of that position: It doesn't take into account the real harm that these people do to other people. I don't have a firm answer for that anymore. It's something I'm still pondering and processing.
Levinson: I guess I think his art isn't so singular we can't get it from someone else. And I say that as a fan. Maybe one of the women he masturbated in front of is capable of creating work just as important and great and lovable.
Grierson: And that's the dark, terrible possibility.

What is the government's advice on social distancing? Everything you need to know
The government is urging people to take steps to reduce their social interaction
Sian FilcherTrending Video Journalist
The government is urging people to socially distance themselves from each other amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a press conference, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK could 'turn the tide of this disease' within 12 weeks and send the virus packing.

He said: "I know it's tough, I know it's difficult, but we've just got to do it together. Please follow the advice.
"It depends on collective resolute action."
So what exactly is the advice on social distancing? And who is being urged to be more strictly following the rules?
Social distancing measures are steps you can take to reduce the social interaction between people.
The government says that this will reduce the risk of people spreading Covid-19.
Ways of reducing social contact include:
Avoiding contact with someone who is displaying symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19). These symptoms include high temperature and/or new and continuous cough.
Avoiding non-essential use of public transport, varying your travel times to avoid rush hour, when possible.
Working from home, where possible. Your employer should support you to do this.
Avoiding large gatherings, and gatherings in smaller public spaces such as pubs, cinemas, restaurants, theatres, bars, clubs.
Avoiding gatherings with friends and family. Keep in touch using remote technology such as the phone, the internet, and social media.
Using the telephone or online services to contact your GP or other essential services.
The government is urging everyone to follow these rules where possible.

People who are considered to be vulnerable or high-risk are being told to 'significantly limit face-to-face interaction with friends and family'.
These include people who are over 70, have an underlying health condition, or are pregnant.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), which is advising the government on its anti-coronavirus policies, has warned that social distancing measures could need to be in force for up to 12 months.
This is to have the proper impact and protect the NHS from being overwhelmed.
The scientists say we could switch between periods when we are told to social distance, and periods when the rules are relaxed.
The report reads: "It was agreed that a policy of alternating between periods of more and less strict social distancing measures could plausibly be effective at keeping the number of critical care cases within capacity.
"These would need to be in place for at least most of a year.
"Under such a policy, at least half of the year would be spent under the stricter social distancing measures."

Arkansas Puts Ledell Lee to Death, Plans 3 More Executions in April
The state of Arkansas killed Ledell Lee Thursday, just hours after a flurry of court activity cleared the way for his execution, in what could be the first of four death sentences carried out in Arkansas this month. Prison officials injected Lee with the sedative midazolam, the anesthetic vecuronium bromide and the toxin potassium chloride. He was pronounced dead at 11:56 p.m., four minutes before his death warrant was set to expire. Lee was convicted of murdering Debra Reese in Little Rock more than 20 years ago; he went to his death proclaiming his innocence. Lee's killing came after newly confirmed U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch cast the deciding vote in a 5-4 ruling that paved the way for Arkansas to proceed with the execution. It was Arkansas's first since 2005, but officials are seeking to execute three more prisoners next week, before the state's supply of midazolam expires at the end of April. Arkansas initially planned to carry out eight executions this month in what critics called a "conveyor belt of death."
CNN: Trump Administration Seeks to Arrest WikiLeaks's Julian Assange
CNN is reporting the Trump administration has prepared an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. At a Thursday news conference, Attorney General Jeff Sessions confirmed that the Justice Department is seeking to put Assange in jail.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "We have professionals that have been in the security business of the United States for many years that are shocked by the number of leaks. And some of them are quite serious. So, yes, it is a priority. We've already begun to step up our efforts. And whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put people in jail."
Last week, CIA chief Mike Pompeo blasted WikiLeaks as a "hostile intelligence service," calling Julian Assange and his supporters "demons." That's despite Pompeo's praise for WikiLeaks on Twitter last year and despite this comment from Donald Trump on the campaign trail last October.
Donald Trump: "This just came out. This just came out. WikiLeaks! I love WikiLeaks!"
We'll have more on the Trump administration's plans to seek the arrest of Julian Assange after headlines. We'll speak with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald, co-founder of The Intercept.

AG Sessions Amazed Judge "On an Island in the Pacific" Blocked Trump
Meanwhile, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said this week he was amazed that a federal judge "sitting on an island in the Pacific" had the power to halt President Trump's ban on refugees and travelers from six majority-Muslim nations. Sessions was referring to U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson of Hawaii, who ruled in March that Trump's executive order violated the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which bars discrimination on religious grounds.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the president of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional powers."
Attorney General Sessions's comments drew condemnation from Hawaii's congressional delegation. Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono accused Sessions of "dog whistle politics," tweeting, "Hawaii was built on the strength of diversity & immigrant experiences- including my own. Jeff Sessions' comments are ignorant & dangerous."

Detained Asylum Seeker Fears Deportation After SCOTUS Ruling
In more immigration news, a mother detained more than 500 days with her 4-year-old son is speaking out after the Supreme Court ruled this week she has no right for a judge to review her pending deportation to Honduras. She is one of two dozen families represented by the American Civil Liberties Union. On Monday, the court ruled the executive branch is the sole judge in cases like hers that are fast-tracked through a process called "expedited removal"—or when an immigration agent can decide if someone has "credible fear" of persecution based on a single interview. The woman spoke to Rewire in an exclusive interview from the Berks County Residential Center in Pennsylvania.
"Lorena": "I feel very afraid. I don't think I'll be able to sleep at night if I'm forced to return to Honduras. I'm a single mother, and we are especially vulnerable."
The murder rate in Honduras is 10 times the global average.
Jeanette Vizguerra Among Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People
Immigrant rights activist Jeanette Vizguerra has been named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people for 2017. Vizguerra skipped a scheduled check-in with ICE officials in February and instead sought refuge in a Denver church basement, along with her four children, fearing she'd be deported under the newly inaugurated Trump administration. On Thursday, Vizguerra spoke outside the First Unitarian Society church about the Time magazine award.
Jeanette Vizguerra: "I don't know if it's going to help my case or not, but what I do know is that this award hopefully helps take away the label that people have for those of us who are undocumented immigrants—that we are criminals or that we don't contribute. I've been here 20 years contributing, working and paying my taxes. In fact, I finished my taxes from inside First Unitarian Church. And I can show them to anyone who wants to see them, unlike President Trump."
New York: Tom Cat Bakery Workers Hold "Day Without Bread" Protest
In New York City, immigrant workers at the Tom Cat Bakery are calling for a "day without bread," as about 18 workers face the loss of their jobs today after their employer demanded valid working papers. This morning, activists locked themselves to the underside of Tom Cat Bakery trucks, stalling delivery of bread while police worked to cut them out. Meanwhile, over 100 of the workers' supporters rallied outside the bakery in solidarity with the workers. This is Tom Cat Bakery employee Osias Davila.
Osias Davila: "There are workers who have been here for 10 years, 18 years, and so it's unjust that Tom Cat treats us this way, after we have given so much for the company to grow. It's a very large business with a lot of production. So what we're asking for at this time is that there is justice and that they stand up for their workers."
U.S. Labor Protests
Protests Target Trump's Proposed $6.2 Billion Cut to Housing Agency
Also in New York City, police arrested nine people Thursday at a nonviolent protest against President Trump's proposal to cut $6.2 billion from the budget of HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. New York is home to the nation's largest stock of public housing, and the protesters said the cuts would devastate their communities.
Kayla Schwarz: "They're proposing crazy stuff, like they're going to like kick everyone out of public housing in five years. Five hundred thousand people in New York City? Right. Like that's going to work. I mean, housing already is cut to the bone. There's nowhere to cut. It's just a disaster."
Carmen Quinones: "This is serious stuff. People are going homeless. This is not a joke anymore. And Trump ain't making it no better."
Among those arrested was New York City Councilmember Ritchie Torres. HUD Director Ben Carson said in March he favors Trump's proposal to slash his agency's budget by 14 percent, saying the cuts would promote "fiscal responsibility."
Venezuela: President Says Opponents Mounting a Coup Amid Mass Protests
In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro has accused his opponents of mounting a coup, as opposition politicians led mass rallies nationwide for a second straight day Thursday calling for a new elections. Across the country, police battled street protesters armed with firebombs, responding with tear gas and rubber-coated bullets, leaving three people dead. President Maduro rallied hundreds of thousands of his supporters for counterprotests and threatened to arrest opposition leader Henrique Capriles and National Assembly President Julio Borges.
President Nicolás Maduro: "Julio Borges, you are the head of the coup. Later, don't complain when the law comes for you. Julio Borges, I am telling you ahead of time. I am telling you in defense of my motherland and in defense of the people."
President Maduro accused the Trump administration of backing a coup, comparing it to the Bush administration's support for an unsuccessful attempt in 2002 to overthrow then-President Hugo Chávez. Meanwhile, General Motors said Thursday it will cease its operations in Venezuela, after saying the Maduro government seized one of its manufacturing plants.
U.N.: Government Soldiers May Be to Blame for Mass Graves in Congo
The United Nations says it's found 17 mass graves in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The U.N. human rights chief, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, said there are reports the graves were dug by government soldiers, who have been accused of raping and killing civilians. This is U.N. spokesperson Elizabeth Throssell.
Elizabeth Throssell: "Now, in Tshimbulu, they confirmed the existence of 15 mass graves that have been dug in a cemetery and two mass graves that had been dug in Tshienke. They heard reports from local people that these graves had been dug by soldiers from the armed forces, the DRC armed forces."
Gunman Opens Fire in Paris, Killing Police Officer and Injuring 2
In Paris, France, a gunman opened fire with an automatic rifle on the Champs-Élysées Thursday, killing a police officer and seriously wounding two others before he was shot dead. Police identified the attacker as Karim Cheurfi, a French citizen who served 15 years in prison after he was convicted in 2001 of shooting police officers. ISIS claimed responsibility, saying one of its "soldiers" carried out the attack. The assault came just days before French voters head to the polls Sunday for an election that will see the top two presidential candidates advance to a runoff election on May 7.
Fox News Will Pay Bill O'Reilly Up to $25 Million After Firing Him
In media news, former Fox News star Bill O'Reilly will receive a payout of about $25 million—equivalent to one year's salary—after he was fired on Wednesday amid revelations that over a half-dozen women accused him of sexual harassment. O'Reilly's payout follows a $40 million severance package paid to former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes last year, after he was accused of sexual harassment by more than 20 women.

Ohio: Pipeline Crews Spill 2 Million Gallons of Drill Fluid
In Ohio, state regulators say crews constructing the $4.2 billion Rover Pipeline spilled more than 2 million gallons of drilling fluid at two different sites, fouling wetlands and threatening water quality. The pipeline is being constructed by Energy Transfer Partners, the same company that built the Dakota Access pipeline, which faced months of resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux and members of hundreds of other indigenous tribes and their allies.
Dow Lobbies White House to Reject Scientific Findings on Pesticides
Dow Chemical is asking the Trump administration to reject the findings of government scientists as they prepare a report on how pesticides known as organophosphates threaten human health and thousands of critically endangered species. Organophosphates were originally derived from a nerve agent developed in Nazi Germany. Peer-reviewed scientific studies have linked even small amounts of the chemicals to low birth weight and brain damage in children. Last month, Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt overturned a ban on one of the pesticides, produced by Dow Chemical, just before it was set to take effect. Dow Chemical paid $1 million to underwrite Donald Trump's January inauguration, and Dow CEO Andrew Liveris was tapped by President Trump to head a White House manufacturing working group.
Tens of Thousands to March for Science on Earth Day
And tens of thousands of scientists and their supporters will rally in Washington, D.C., and in other cities across the U.S. Saturday for a national "March for Science." The rallies come as the Trump administration pursues an unprecedented campaign of science denial—on issues including climate change, vaccines and the environment. Ahead of the march, astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson released a video calling science denial a threat to democracy.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: "And so, science is a fundamental part of the country that we are. But in this, the 21st century, when it comes time to make decisions about science, it seems to me people have lost the ability to judge what is true and what is not; what is reliable, what is not reliable; what should you believe, what should you not believe. And when you have people who don't know much about science standing in denial of it and rising to power, that is a recipe for the complete dismantling of our informed democracy."
Democracy Now! will broadcast live from the March for Science in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time. You can go to democracynow.org to tune in to the broadcast.

Get ready for the Jack attack.
State Sen. Jack Latvala, the gruff, longtime force in Tampa Bay and Tallahassee politics, on Friday filed campaign papers to run for governor in 2018 setting the stage for a Tampa Bay-centric battle for the future of Florida's GOP.
Latvala, 65, is the sort of pragmatic, give-and-take Republican legislator who has fallen out of favor with much of the base lately, but allies insist he is underestimated in a potentially crowded Republican field dominated by career politicians.
"The race promises to be extremely competitive, with Jack having a clear path as the pragmatic conservative, unafraid of reaching across the aisle, and with a lifelong record of delivering real results for our state and our community," said former U.S. Rep. David Jolly of Indian Shores. "Pinellas should be excited about the prospects of a Gov. Latvala."
Latvala sought to maintain a modicum of suspense before his scheduled announcement tour Wednesday that includes speeches in Clearwater, Hialeah, and Panama City. But because the law forbids any campaign spending without a campaign account already set up, he went ahead and opened an account Friday.
"It means we want to be legal as we prepare for our three-city announcement tour next week," Latvala said, not quite confirming what everybody already assumed: He is running for governor.
He also tweeted out a smiling photo of a friend's son in a Tampa Bay Rays uniform holding Latvala's campaign paperwork. "My papers were filed by 5-year-old Rays fan Cooper Bishop!"
Latvala is running to succeed Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is term-limited in 2018 and expected to run for U.S. Senate against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson. The burly and famously cantankerous Clearwater Republican is a clear underdog, and not just because he is widely viewed as a moderate.
Latvala's political committee had a healthy $3.82 million available to spend as of July 31. Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, who formally announced his long-expected candidacy in May, had $12.3 million on hand, while two other candidates exploring runs, Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran of Land O'Lakes, and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis of northeast Florida, had about $2.8 million and $1.2 million respectively.
The field of Republican contenders is packed with Tampa Bay connections.
Latvala, is a longtime political consultant who has been a Republican kingmaker for decades; Corcoran, 52, is a Pasco resident and longtime Tallahassee operative; Putnam, 43, has been in elective office in Washington or Tallahassee for more than half his life and resides in Polk County, part of the Tampa Bay media market. DeSantis, 38, lives in Palm Coast near Jacksonville, but grew up in Dundedin before heading to Yale and the U.S. Navy.
The Republican primary could get very nasty very quickly. Latvala has never been one to back down from a fight. He and Corcoran intensely dislike each other and Latvala has already taken swipes at Putnam on Twitter.
A native of Oxford, Miss., Latvala began his political career as a young Republican Party operative in the mid-1970s at a time when the GOP was virtually powerless. He traveled across the state, recruiting GOP candidates to run for the Legislature.
While serving two separate eight-year stretches in the Senate, he also became prosperous running a direct mail business and shaping political messages for other candidates — county commissioners, sheriffs and state legislators. He makes $142,508 as the CEO of GCI Printing Services out of Largo, according to his 2016 financial disclosure, which lists his net worth at $7.4 million.
Latvala hopes his private sector experience sets him apart.
"As a small business owner and public servant, I have a track record of getting things done and solving problems," Latvala said in a statement earlier this week about his planned announcement Wednesday. "One thing you can always expect from me too is when I give you my word, I will keep it."
Latvala's candidacy will be a supreme test of his irascible nature. "Grumpy" is one of the more charitable words used to describe his volatile temperament. Even though retail politicking no longer has the cachet it once did, running for statewide office requires an endless amount of schmoozing at party dinners, fish fries and forums.
As the chairman of the powerful Senate Appropriations committee, Latvala is widely viewed as one of the most effective legislators and often is at the center of the senate's most thorny and complex policy debates.
He has never run statewide or faced serious challengers in his own races, but he has loads of experience on the inside of numerous tough campaigns across the state.
Latvala, previously married to former Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala, last summer married Tallahassee real estate agent Connie Prince. Latvala has two children, including state Rep. Chris Latvala, R-Clearwater.

For 160 years, the Metro Atlanta Chamber has been the voice of our region's business community, working to improve and drive our reputation as a global competitor. Our roots run parallel with the region's: we started as an organization fighting railroad freight discrimination, just as Atlanta was built on the foundation of the railroad industry.
The Chamber has been at the forefront of metro Atlanta's evolution through industrial transformation, social change and global recognition. Water systems, public schools, interstate highways, air transport, higher education and transit: we've led the way for growth across each of these areas and many more. We're also proud to be a champion for equality during the Civil Rights Movement and today as we embrace people from all walks of life.
Of course, we haven't done any of this alone. From day one, the Chamber has had the ability to convene the region's top leaders and organizations. Whether a Fortune 500 CEO, an elected official or a bootstrapped entrepreneur, there's a place for every voice here. And we're honored that you've chosen to engage with us and stay connected decade after decade.
From our beginnings tied to the railroad to today's high-tech focus on innovation, the Metro Atlanta Chamber represents 29 counties and roughly six million citizens with one ambition: Never Stop Rising.™
Celebrating Our 160th Anniversary
1859: The Metro Atlanta Chamber was founded as the "Mercantile Association," with the intent to fight railroad freight discrimination against the City of Atlanta.
1871: The organization of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce was effected on August 7, 1871. The Chamber starts a movement for municipal reforms and construction of a public water system.
1895: The Chamber helped promote the New South on an international stage after lobbying Congress to award Atlanta the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition.

1920: The Chamber was heavily involved in the development of Atlanta's air transport industry. In partnership with the City Council, the Chamber encouraged the city to purchase Candler Field in the 1920s. This move made Atlanta the third city in the country – after New York and Chicago – to offer regular daily flights.
1925: The Chamber launched its first advertising campaign, called Forward Atlanta, led by Ivan Allen Sr., president of the Chamber, which attracted more than 750 companies to Atlanta, bringing over $30M and tens of thousands of jobs to the area.
1930: The Chamber aided in the expansion of Atlanta that included a $40M project to create an interstate highway system. The "Keep Atlanta Ahead" campaign, as it was known, also led to changes in education, fire prevention, public health, urban housing and global trade. During this time, more than 90 new industries came to the city.
1941: The Chamber helped to recruit major airlines to Atlanta, including becoming the home of Delta Air Lines in 1941.
1952: The Chamber was integral to an 81-square-mile expansion of city limits. As a result, the Chamber helped expand access to higher education through efforts to fund expansion in universities such as Georgia Tech and Emory University.
1960: The Chamber issued a resolution to the Georgia General Assembly supporting legislation that would end school segregation. Under the leadership of Ivan Allen Jr. – Chamber president and later mayor of Atlanta – the Chamber called for businesses to peacefully comply with the Civil Rights legislation. The 1960s also included the Chamber's involvement in the passage of a regional rapid transit amendment that set the stage for the creation of a five-county authority evolving into today's Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA).
1961: The Chamber founded the magazine "City Builder" in 1916, which ran until 1960. The magazine changed hands several times over the next two decades, and today, it is known as the Atlanta Magazine.

1980: The Chamber helped advance efforts to make Atlanta the "sports capital of the world" by establishing the Atlanta Sports Council.
1988: When Atlanta hosted the Democratic National Convention, the Chamber partnered with the Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade to maximize the region's visibility.
1990: Now known as the "Metro Atlanta Chamber," the organization played an important role in a pivotal time of growth and recruitment of companies in Atlanta, including Fortune 500 headquarters such as Georgia-Pacific, General Electric, Newell Rubbermaid and UPS.
1996: The Chamber helped raise funds to construct Centennial Olympic Park, and the Atlanta Sports Council was a leader in preparing the city to host the 1996 Olympic Games.
2001: The Chamber led efforts to have the Confederate symbol removed from the Georgia state flag.

2015: The Chamber provided leadership for $1B in additional annual funding for Georgia transportation, the first state increase since 1971. In addition, the Chamber launched ChooseATL, an initiative to attract and retain next-gen talent.
2016: The year marked the passage of legislation to fund $2.7B for More MARTA. The Chamber also led the fight to defeat religious exemption legislation.
2017: The Chamber began the year in contemporary new offices at 191 Peachtree Tower and unveiled its new brand, including a new logo and website.
2018: The Atlanta Sports Council kicked off the first in a trifecta of major sporting events to be hosted in the region over the next three years: College Football Playoff National Championship, Super Bowl LIII and NCAA Final Four.
2019: Today, the Chamber continues to be a catalyst for a more prosperous region through efforts focused on inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship, next-gen talent, business climate, transportation, workforce development, education and advocacy on behalf of the business community. For the sixth consecutive year, Georgia is the No. 1 state for doing business.

One of the tools that legislature can use to further enhance oversight of the financial operations of Government is a specialized Committee. In the Westminster model of democracy the committee is known as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). It is the Audit Committee of Parliament and as such is the core institution of public financial accountability established by Federal and Provincial Government to examine the accounts of Governments and their agencies. The Committee on Public Accounts enjoys the place of pride in our Committee System as this Committee is one of the tools that a legislature can use to further enhance oversight of the financial operation of Government.
2. The responsibilities of the PACs cover the area of oversight traditionally referred to as fiscal audits. Fiscal audits focus exclusively on the examination of Government expenditures to assure that funds appropriated by the parliament have been spent legally and as the parliament intended.
3. The structure and functions of the PAC date back to the reforms initiated, by William Gladstone, when he was British Chancellor of the Exchequer in the mid-19th century. The first PAC was established in 1861 by a Resolution of the British House of Commons which is replicated in virtually all Commonwealth Countries and many non-Commonwealth Countries.
4. The Committee on Public Accounts was first set up in 1921 in the wake of the Montague-Chelmsford Reforms. The Finance Member of the Executive Council was the Chairman of the Committee. The Secretariat assistance to the Committee was rendered by the Finance Department (now called the Ministry of Finance). The system continued up to 1949. This naturally restricted the free expression of views and criticism of the Executive.
6. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been a very unfortunate Province during British era, it was known as an unconstitutional land. In 1932 it was declared as Province and hence a separate Legislative Council came into being to run the affairs of Province. Under the Government of India Act 1935, enforced on 1st April, 1937, the legislative council was renamed as NWFP Legislative Assembly, Election for the NWFP Legislative Assembly were held in 1937. After creation of Pakistan in 1947 the then NWFP was retained as separate Province, parliamentary traditions were developing here, but unfortunately in 1955 all West Pakistan was declared as one Unit and NWFP was incorporated into it, hence it ceased to exist as a Provincial Assembly, so there was no question of PAC during that period.
7. In 1970 General Yahya Khan annulled one Unit and consequently four Provinces were restored, so the then NWFP again emerged as a Province with its own Provincial Assembly.
8. For the first time in history of elections were held for both Provincial and National Assemblies. The then NWFP Assembly took oath on 02/05/1972. However, there is no record of PAC available for that period. That Assembly was dissolved on 13/02/1977, after completion of its Constitutional tenure. New elections were held in 1977 but mean while General Zia-ul-Haq, imposed martial law and the Constitution of 1973, was held in abeyance.
10. The Committee met for the first time on 19th June, 1979 to lay down a procedure for the meetings to scrutinize and examine the accounts of the Government of NWFP for the financial year, 1970-71 and thereafter met for 79 working days and all accounts upto financial year, 1978-79 as received by the Committee, were finalized.
11. First Report of the Committee i.e. on the Appropriation Accounts, Finance Accounts, and the Audit Report on the Accounts of Govt. of NWFP for the financial years1970-71 to1978-79 was presented to the Governor, NWFP on 31st August, 1981 and was approved on 24th October, 1981.

Lorelle Meets The Obsolete – De Facto
(January 11th on Sonic Cathedral Records)
Psychedelic noise-rock that walks the thin line between being artistically and willfully difficult. Avoids becoming lost in a gauzy haze by virtue of an excellent rhythm section that knows instinctively how to ride a groove.

School Of Seven Bells – SVIIB
Released February 26th, 2016 on Vagrant Records
School Of Seven Bells were never one of the bands pushed by indie radio that really ever appealed to me. They came off as the nadir of the cross-pollination of shoegaze and dream pop, an amalgamation of the worst parts of both that hung around like the miasma of a bad dream for just long enough to get obnoxious. I didn't expect much when I sat down with SVIIB, their fourth (and now final) album.
As it turns out, it's leaps and bounds beyond their earlier material, a record that takes in the best moments of Eighties alt-pop while still remaining aloof and individual. It's slick, but dreamy; the drums hit hard but the melodies remain slippery. It seems like a celebration and in a way it is. During the process of recording (in 2013), one half of the duo, Benjamin Curtis, passed away from lymphoma. Alejandra Dehaza took what they had, polished it up with some help, and released this one last School Of Seven Bells album. I wouldn't have blamed her if she had just walked away from the project after her creative partner died, but the fact that she stuck to it and released such a stellar final album is a bit inspiring in its own way. It's a hell of a way to go out, and at the very least it leaves me with fond memories of a group that I previously had no such memories of.
Void Beats/Invocation Trex
02/19/2016 on Duophonic Records
Electronic music may be a big festival draw now but it's origins lie in open synth work layered over Krautrock-inspired motorik beats. Cavern of Anti-Matter take their chosen genre back to its retro moment, conjuring up images of later Kraftwerk or E2-E4.
Life Of Pause
02/19/2016 on Bella Union Records
As usual, Wild Nothing's latest record conjures up a daydream of the Eighties, a snatch of John Hughes remembered at the moment of death. Like most Wild Nothings records, the single is the best part, but there are some real moments of strength and revelation found throughout.
Africaine 808
02/19/2016 on Golf Channel Records
A seamless blend of West African heart, German efficiency, and the classic thump of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. Harder to pin down than your average hip hop record, and a good sight more freeing.
Meet The Humans
02/26/2016 on Domino Records
Overly sensitive without being eye-rollingly weepy, Meet The Humans dances all over the pop-rock map in search of Mason's heart, and hits far more often than it misses.
Emma Pollock
In Search Of Harperfield
02/26/2016 on Chemikal Underground Records
Country-folkie with a nice enough turn of phrase and a decent sense of navigation around a plaintive melody, still not much to really write home about. A record you can take home to mama, but not a record you can really take out and party with.

Robert Steele: Neil Cavuto (Fox News) and Mike McCaul (R-TX, DHS) Are Bushies — Their Broadcast Just Now Was Defamatory, False, and Reprehensible UPDATE 2 Texas Drug Racket?
Corruption, Cultural Intelligence, Idiocy, Media
Robert David STEELE Vivas
I've known for some time that Fox News is only marginally better than Crap News Network (CNN), but today Neil Cavuto persuaded me that Fox News is part of the Deep State media network and everyone at Fox News is an enemy of the President.
The segment with Mike McCaul (R-TX) who has a role managing the House oversight committee for the Department of Homeland Security (itself a mass surveillance and enforcement arm of the Deep State and the Deep State's Zionist underbelly), was defamatory, false, and reprehensible.
The Russians did not hack the election. The lies put forth by James Clapper and John Brennan and Mike Hayden are not only lies, they are malicious lies with knowledge of falsity and each of those telling such lies should lose their security clearances.
The time has come for the President to clear the White House of the scum that falsely claim to be an independent media. They are not. They are shills — with malice aforethought — of a Deep State / Zionist agenda that seeks to overthrow a President elected precisely because he can stand up to the Deep State and end the tyranny of the 1% who have been looting the US Treasury with impunity for the past century — to include creating the Great Depression with the complicity of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who also waged a covert war against Japan to induce Pearl Harbor, much as George H. W. Bush and Dick Cheney waged a covert Gold War against Russia (BillBrowder appears to have been an agent of the CIA in that covert illegal war against Russia).
The President needs a Trump Studio, a truth channel, and a communications team that is not walking around with its head up its ass.
Here is the updated floor plan that makes better use of the space now wasted on scum:
Robert Steele: The Soft Coup Collapses – Blackmail Revealed – What Next? CIA was bluffing, produced no evidence – Russians did not "hack" the election. Is this the beginning of the end of the Deep State in the USA? Can Trump clean house & wage peace? (Trump Revolution 06)
Robert Steele: US IC Allegations Against Russians Are Crap — Our Own Traitors, Not the Russians, Are the Real Enemy, Fake Evidence & Fake News – UPDATE 22
Robert Steele: Concept for Trump Triumph in 3 Moves UPDATE 5 Trump 2.0
Trump 2.0: Build the Base, Go Long (25 Years)
UPDATE 1:
Alert Reader writes in…
Here is Texas McCaul is known as a NWO RINO through and through. He apprenticed under Johnny ("Satan") Sutton where they prosecuted INS and border sherriffs for enforcing immigration laws, there are a lot of folks here that think he should have hung for prosecutorial misconduct. His District was gerrymandered by Tom Delay, 180 mile long dognose from RINO West Houston to RINO North Austin. McCaul is believed to have used ClearChannel publishing, billboards, hundreds of radio stations, and corporate jets — all undeclared illegal campaign contributions, to win the election. His father James Addington McCaul was deeply connected with GHWB and the Dallas doings, all that has been "scrubbed" but we all know it is there. McCaul is a Bushie, hates Trump, will do anything he can to undermine the President.
Alert Reader adds:
Sutton and McCaul were notorious for getting drug dealers off, and in cases where they got shot, getting them million dollar settlements and a green card. No one has ever properly investigated the degree to which the Bush Family is a drug cartel and the Texas "justice" system is used to keep the drugs moving. Media personalities that publicized these crimes met with very bad accidents.
Phi Beta Iota: There is actually at least one book to this effect, but the fact is that the FBI is a threatrical agency and has never been serious about going after crime overseen by elites and their senior servant class.

Discus and support window licence expire in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade to solve the problem; Hi my window will expire soon, nd i lst my product key. how can i fixed again? [ATTACH]... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade' started by sarikaverma, Dec 6, 2018.
my window will expire soon, nd i lst my product key.
how can i fixed again?
suggest that I might have a digital licence. Where is it? What do I do? The computer would suggest I had a product key. Nowhere do I seem to find an answer other than to spend £199, which is not a free upgrade. My computer is not worth that amount of money.
Please could I get some helpful advice as to expiration of a digital licence or product key and how I avoid this licence expiration. Thank you.
I have successfully updated my windows 8 to a Windows 10.
I have been able to activate Windows and set the key correctly. But I still get this message that my license will expire.
I have tried the tricks suggested on YouTube.
